| scient | Bynw: if u have mouse u should have keyboard | 00:06 |
| mindrape | rahduke - it appears your USB storage device is there and loaded fine... not sure why it's not showing up on your desktop. Can you run sudo fdisk -l from a commandline? It will tell you what is mounted. | 00:06 |
| aldren | oinc | 00:07 |
| scient | how could i changemy /home to encrypted? | 00:07 |

| Hoj0 | im sure if you check the pidgin site and search the error code you would probably find out what it means. | 00:10 |
| Bynw | scient, rebooting gave me everything back ... where do i find the logs that might help he discover why it crashed in the first place? | 00:11 |

| Chameleon | hey | 00:12 |
| Hoj0 | are you using MSN? | 00:12 |
| Chameleon | Im accessing MSN threw pidgin | 00:12 |
| scunizi | malocite, well.. vmware has a tool to take a windows install and turn it into a vm for linux.. not sure if they have the same thing for linux or now.. might be worth looking for.. you could also ask in #vmware | 00:12 |
| Out_Cold | oh wait... after looking at the files... i realized it's 4 500 000 not 4500 | 00:12 |
| Chameleon | its somthing about an msn contact not being able to be addedin pidgin | 00:13 |
| Hoj0 | yea what it is is that pidgin cant add the support services account that is attached to every MSN account | 00:13 |

| mib_e6x6zw | in 8.10 i have to reinstall my windows wireless drivers with the ndiswrapper frontend every time i boot up | 00:14 |
| Gnea | malocite: pardon? | 00:14 |
| scunizi | malocite, for that kind of solution.. it's not recommended.. you're actually trying to access a hard partition as in RAW.. It can be done the otherway but it's not for the faint of heart.. lots of problems, issues etc. | 00:14 |

| Hoj0 | chameleon check your PM | 00:15 |
| luddite | can anyone get hibernate to show a progress bar? | 00:15 |
| luddite | kuro - yes | 00:15 |
| malocite | scunizi: Thats the answer I was looking for, but not the one I wanted :) So its possible to run your existing one, but very difficult. | 00:15 |
| Gnea | malocite: perhaps you don't understand... the only way to run linux like that is in a virtualized environment. wubi installs it IN windows, but yeah, you have to exit it. If you want to enable seamless file integration between the two, at the same time, then install it in a virtualized environment and setup samba. | 00:16 |
| scunizi | malocite, vmware can do what you want from linux accessing a seperate installation of windows, like I mentioned before.. for the other way it's something that you should ask in #vmware. | 00:16 |

| confuded | [Problem] I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (upgrade). In the new kernel update the WP-S1 usb modem (3skypephone) is supposed to be supported. How ever, ubuntu does not seem to recognize the phone/modem at all. Logs just shows a USB connected | 00:30 |
| luddite | ubuntu_rulez : with your usplash - when you do a hibernate - does it display a progress bar or is it just a blank screen with some text and a cursor? | 00:30 |
| Havsalt | rbls, ok, thank you very much. very helpful | 00:30 |
| neeto | Xacarit1: that's strange. Maybe you should try remaking the partition and trying all over again? Other than that it's probably hardware... | 00:30 |
| scunizi | vallhalla81, I had 2 harddrives like that and found they were bad.. if they don't show in gparted it might be bad | 00:30 |
| Arthemax | how can I either uninstall it or gain write access so I can use the installation? | 00:30 |
| espacious | how do i exit vi? | 00:30 |
| vallhalla81 | scunizi: ok thanks looks like i will be buying a new one lol | 00:31 |
| scunizi | vallhalla81, fortunately they are cheep | 00:31 |

| mindrape | tom_ did you accidentally the whole boot manager? | 00:58 |
| elf-up | tom is your boot disc corrupt or scratched or something? | 00:59 |
| austin987 | yeah, that's my next try | 00:59 |
| tom_ | no | 00:59 |
| tom_ | how can i fix it | 00:59 |
| === cracken2261 is now known as Cracken2261 | ||
| zsquareplusc | tom_ then try virtualbox | 00:59 |
| elf-up | can you boot up at all? | 00:59 |
| ohubuntu | austin987 ... on intrepid and vmware install went well as of yesterday | 00:59 |
| KingBling | this is my third time trying to get somthing on the screen | 00:59 |
| confuded | austin987: it's a good call, new VMwares like new kernels :P. I had problems with an old kernel and VMware... Sorry! | 00:59 |
| tCzern | I must be invisble ... HELLO? | 00:59 |
| confuded | tCzern: hi | 00:59 |
| austin987 | confuded, good to know, appreciate all the help | 00:59 |
| KingBling | hi | 01:00 |
| * mindrape gets the sensation that somebody is saying HELLO in invisible text | 01:00 | |
| tom_ | yea | 01:00 |
| confuded | !hi Z tCzern | 01:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hi z tczern | 01:00 |
| musikgoat | tCzern: whats up? | 01:00 |
| austin987 | I wish it was as easy as a mistyped shell command :-p | 01:00 |
| confuded | !hi | tCzern | 01:00 |
| ubottu | tCzern: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:00 |
| moos3 | is there a way to setup a run level in grub? | 01:00 |
| tecnicodpc | Hello 2 All | 01:00 |
| tCzern | aah, hi | 01:00 |
| tom_ | butt wend it gets too the loading part it mesis up | 01:00 |
| nickrud | tCzern, not a good idea to log into gnome as root, very dangerous. You set it in the Login Manger in the admin menu | 01:00 |
| confuded | !hi | tecnicodpc | 01:00 |
| tCzern | My question: In Gnome, I want to log out as user and log on as root. But then it tells me the System Admin is not allowed to logon from this screen, how does this work? | 01:00 |
| ubottu | tecnicodpc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:00 |
| elf-up | loading as in GRUB? | 01:00 |
| KingBling | so how do i get the drivers for my vid card to work ? | 01:00 |
| mcphail | austin987: i installed the newest vmware (workstation, not player) on Gutsy with no problems. Doubt it is the kernel... | 01:00 |
| zsquareplusc | tCzern: dont log in as root. use sudo/gksodo to run tools as admin instead | 01:00 |
| tecnicodpc | ty | 01:00 |
| joebodo | tczern enable local system admin login in sessions | 01:00 |
| confuded | tCzern: ubuntu had disbaled that option | 01:00 |
| nickrud | tCzern, better to learn the command line, and use gksu to run some apps gingerly as root | 01:00 |
| tCzern | I want to asign an icon to an application launcher | 01:01 |
| tom_ | gtg | 01:01 |
| tom_ | bye | 01:01 |
| tecnicodpc | new to ubuntu | 01:01 |
| tom_ | people | 01:01 |
| austin987 | mcphail, hmm | 01:01 |
| elf-up | bye tom | 01:01 |
| === cracken2261 is now known as Cracken226 | ||
| KingBling | bye tom | 01:01 |
| tecnicodpc | just installed it | 01:01 |
| nickrud | tCzern, in the menu? | 01:01 |
| WooAnn_ | 大家好 | 01:01 |
| moos3 | elf-up: yeah as in grub | 01:01 |
| tCzern | yes | 01:01 |
| tCzern | I got alacarte | 01:01 |
| tecnicodpc | been a week whith it | 01:01 |
| nickrud | !cn | WolfHack | 01:01 |
| ubottu | WolfHack: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 01:01 |
| mcphail | moos3: grub has no concept of runlevels... | 01:01 |
| elf-up | maybe his kernel went bad | 01:01 |
| elf-up | or something | 01:01 |
| nickrud | sorry WolfHack , WooAnn_ ^^ | 01:01 |
| tCzern | but it won't let me copy an icon into /usr | 01:01 |
| tecnicodpc | still learning | 01:01 |
| elf-up | i really wouldnt know | 01:02 |
| moos3 | shit, my system is hanging on loading nagios | 01:02 |
| musikgoat | tecnicodpc: do you have a question? | 01:02 |
| confuded | tCzern: heard of sudo? | 01:02 |
| joebodo | tczern administration -> login sessions | 01:02 |
| moos3 | I can't figure out how to get pass it | 01:02 |
| nickrud | tCzern, that's not how it's done. You would use alacarte to edit your local menu, and the overriding launcher ends up in ~/.local ? ~/.share? somewhere | 01:02 |
| tecnicodpc | No just looking around .... But thanks | 01:02 |
| ohubuntu | i made a br0 connection and added vmnet0 vbox0 type interfaces to it... all bridged to eth0... can i tie my wlan0 in the same way? | 01:02 |
| mcphail | moos3: ctrl-c ? | 01:02 |
| arve | Problem: Got a server in the next room built out of some old computer parts. Basically just a motherboard and a disk drive. Is there a way of sharing my CDrom drive to the server? | 01:02 |
| KingBling | can i get some help plz? | 01:02 |
| moos3 | I didn't think that worked at start up | 01:02 |
| alaqsory | سشمشةع شمهنعة شمم | 01:03 |
| WooAnn_ | nickrud: hi | 01:03 |
| mindrape | KingBling - you may ask 2 question.s | 01:03 |
| musikgoat | tecnicodpc: no prob, for general chatting you can visit #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:03 |
| alaqsory | salamu alikum all | 01:03 |
| KingBling | ty | 01:03 |
| tCzern | confuded sure I know sudo, but I have no idea how to copy one image from a folder to another | 01:03 |
| Cracken226 | hallo | 01:03 |
| elf-up | arve: i know you can do that in os x but i dunno if ubuntu has that | 01:03 |

| tCzern | in admin I don't have session, only login window | 01:03 |
| _ykram | and your second question must be are you sure i can ask for help | 01:03 |
| arve | tCzern: sudo cp <source> <target> | 01:03 |
| nickrud | tCzern, cp. you can also use gksu nautilus to get a graphical root file manager, but use GINGERLY | 01:03 |
| mindrape | tCzern: sudo cp /home/myuser/this/folder/image.jpg /usr/images/image.jpg | 01:04 |
| KingBling | im new to linux and trying to move over from windows | 01:04 |
| WooAnn_ | is there anybody knows how to play a rmvb video file. | 01:04 |

| quagga | josh: i'd make sure your cpu scaling is enabled and that there are no run away processes | 01:05 |
| arve | elf-up: surely linux can share a drive :P I suppose i would have to mount a network share somehow, I just have no clue as to how to do that via term | 01:05 |

| inductiveload | hi guys! i had windows and linux about a week ago, but nuked my hard drive and reinstalled windows. now i can't install ubuntu - when i boot up with the disc i used before (it worked before) i just get "ISOLINUX 3.53 etc...." and it stops there until i restart and remove the disc. becasue of this i can't even use it as a live CD. | 01:06 |
| KingBling | i dont even get to login window just says ubuntu and then goes black | 01:06 |
| nickrud | tCzern, if you break your system, don't blame me !! | 01:06 |
| elf-up | arve: you could try a remote desktop login or something along those lines | 01:07 |
| ohubuntu | KingBling... have you tried plugging in an external monitor and then start up | 01:07 |
| moos3 | elf-up: no go on the strl-c | 01:07 |
| gh0st | can any point me to a web-page of information (My g00gle f00 has failed me) that details how to chat with someone else on the internet in a hardcore secure/encrypted manor to deliver very sensitive information? | 01:07 |
| moos3 | crtl-c** | 01:07 |
| arve | inductiveload: check your BIOS settings | 01:07 |
| Try80 | musik: I can see my wifi network, but it won't let me connect to it. It keeps trying to make me put in a WEP key.. | 01:07 |
| droids | i'm having some makefile issues with the xbox360 controller driver in intrepid. anyone think they could help? | 01:07 |
| mindrape | gh0st - www.sekure.us | 01:07 |
| inductiveload | arve: check them for what? | 01:07 |
| Try80 | musik: but it's not WEP - it's WPA-PSK | 01:07 |
| arve | boot order | 01:07 |
| elf-up | KingBling: possibly a graphics issue | 01:07 |
| tCzern | I am not that unexperienced, it's just an icon ;-) | 01:07 |
| arve | i.e. which devices to boot from and in what order | 01:07 |
| KingBling | im using ati 3600 hd card | 01:07 |
| musikgoat | Try80: then either the key or the protocol (AES or TKIP) is wrong | 01:07 |
| elf-up | moos3: strl-c? whats that | 01:08 |
| inductiveload | ok, i can boot from the cd, that's no problem, its just once it starts booting its gets to isolinux promt and dies | 01:08 |
| ohubuntu | KingBling... have you tried plugging in an external monitor and then start up | 01:08 |
| ohubuntu | on a vga connetion | 01:08 |
| gh0st | thnx | 01:08 |
| arve | that's odd | 01:08 |
| musikgoat | Try80: when you connect, can you set the option to WPA? | 01:08 |
| KingBling | what do u mean externam monitor? | 01:08 |
| elf-up | KingBling: i got nothing. hope i helped somehow | 01:08 |
| moos3 | ctrl-c elf | 01:08 |
| arve | what if you disconnect your hard drives? | 01:08 |
| Try80 | musik: nope ... | 01:08 |
| arve | and try booting only from the CD | 01:08 |
| inductiveload | they're internal laptop drives... | 01:08 |
| arve | or, with only the CD connected | 01:08 |
| alaqsory | thanks alot for your cooperation :-( | 01:09 |
| arve | disable them in bios :) | 01:09 |
| ohubuntu | do you have any port on your graphics card to plug in a vga monitor | 01:09 |
| moos3 | it says runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1 | 01:09 |
| Try80 | musik: I've set it in the network settings manually, but it won't let me choose that option when I try to make it connect | 01:09 |
| musikgoat | Try80: what wireless card do you have? | 01:09 |
| prymal | does anyone know what the room name is for development? | 01:09 |
| elf-up | moos3: love keyboard shortcuts! :) | 01:09 |
| moos3 | runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2 | 01:09 |
| moos3 | yeah but it doesn't work at boot | 01:09 |
| josh | how do i check cpu scaling? | 01:09 |
| KingBling | i have a 56 inch tv hooked to my pc | 01:09 |
| Try80 | musik: It's the D-Link DWL 650+ | 01:09 |
| musikgoat | Try80: not the router, the wireless card | 01:10 |
| Try80 | musik: that IS the wireless card | 01:10 |
| thehijjt | what could cause passwd to not prompt for a password, or return authentication token manipulation error | 01:10 |
| musikgoat | Try80: oh, my bad | 01:10 |
| Try80 | musik: its ok | 01:10 |
| cached | so i supposedly have java5 installed, but the command 'java' yields 'bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory' what should I do? | 01:10 |
| ohubuntu | KingBling exactly, try plugging in a monitor with standard 1024x1280 or whatever... boot linux, then configure graphics card for tv | 01:10 |
| Try80 | musik: it's an AirPlus | 01:10 |
| d0netsFN | anyone use sabnzbd? | 01:11 |
| d0netsFN | or hellanzb | 01:11 |
| musikgoat | Try80: can you check if wpa-supplicant is installed? | 01:11 |
| alaqsory | لخخي غث | 01:11 |
| KingBling | omg i got to pull out the old monster lol | 01:11 |
| elf-up | phubuntu: he could also do that and then set the tv up as a secondary screen | 01:11 |
| Try80 | musik: it is... | 01:11 |
| musikgoat | Try80: k, one sec | 01:11 |

| elf-up | KingBling: CRT monitor | 01:11 |
| KingBling | i still dont know how to install the drivers is it eazy this is my first linux | 01:11 |
| elf-up | KingBling: the first linux install is always the roughest | 01:12 |
| Try80 | musik: ok. I tried to manually configure wpa_supplicant with instructions I found on google | 01:12 |
| KingBling | lol u telling me | 01:12 |
| elf-up | ohubuntu: thanks | 01:12 |
| ohubuntu | KingBling I managed to do it in a half-hour... never installed ubuntu before (about 6 months ago) | 01:12 |

| ohubuntu | everything works great now... especially with twinview | 01:13 |
| ashley_ | Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me trouble shoot this Wifi problem I am having. | 01:13 |
| elf-up | oubuntu: yeah but with the liveCD its extremely easy | 01:13 |
| KingBling | i dont know if i installed it correctly do i need to burn it to a disc? | 01:13 |
| musikgoat | Try80: this doesn't look promising http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308622 | 01:13 |
| elf-up | oubuntu: i had to partition and dual-boot mine | 01:13 |
| squarebracket | is there any way i can modify the command when i push my "rotate screen" button on my tablet pc? | 01:13 |
| arve | wtb instructions on how to mount a network shared cd-rom drive | 01:13 |
| arve | if anyone has some info i'd appreciate it | 01:13 |
| mindrape | pupp - CTRL ALT F2 into a console and login..... tail -f /var/log/messages ALT F7 back into X Windows..... next time it happens check the log in CTRL ALT F2 | 01:14 |
| KingBling | yea thats how i have it elf its duel boot with vista | 01:14 |
| Try80 | musik: I had it working in windows.. | 01:14 |
| joebodo | !ask | ashley_ | 01:14 |
| ubottu | ashley_: 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. :-) | 01:14 |
| elf-up | KingBling: I dual-boot Mac OS X tiger with Ubuntu 8.10 | 01:14 |
| elf-up | KingBling: and I partitioned my hard drive before Boot Camp came out. | 01:15 |
| ashley_ | hangon someone is helping me at the moment - don't want to cross post | 01:15 |
| KingBling | lol another os i have never worked with osx | 01:15 |
| tCzern | you should ;-) | 01:15 |
| Try80 | musik: I followed some instructions to set up ndiswrapper to install the windows driver, and I think that got it far enough to see the network | 01:15 |
| tCzern | its gooood | 01:15 |
| zsquareplusc | arve: is the drive already sharedor so you want to set up a server | 01:15 |
| musikgoat | Try80: lspci | grep "wireless" | 01:15 |
| elf-up | os x kicks ass | 01:15 |
| KingBling | im just fed up with buggy vista | 01:15 |
| musikgoat | Try80: whats the chipset | 01:15 |
| elf-up | vista's nice for about a week | 01:16 |
| wos | is there any particular reason why i cant paste to my terminal with the right click menu? | 01:16 |
| elf-up | then you switch to ubuntu | 01:16 |
| KingBling | my lil bro uses linux all my friends online use linux and now i want to join the flock | 01:16 |
| Frogzoo | vista's awful from the install | 01:16 |
| tCzern | I bet compiz and all this needs extra ram? | 01:16 |
| elf-up | KingBling: good choice | 01:16 |
| elf-up | tCzern: nope | 01:16 |
| Try80 | musik: ubuntu's lspci says it's a Texas Instruments ACX 100 | 01:16 |
| arve | zsquareplusc: My desktop computer has a CD drive. My server(running ubuntu server ed and only accessible via ssh) needs to access the data on my CD drive | 01:16 |
| Guiri | hey is anyone famliar with denyhosts? or better yet is Marco Bertorello here? | 01:16 |
| elf-up | just need a semi-decent graphics card and a processor thats Pentium 4 or better | 01:17 |
| mindrape | right here, how do you know my name? | 01:17 |
| jrib | Guiri: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 01:17 |
| ohubuntu | KingBling check out http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide | 01:17 |
| KingBling | i need to get another gig of ram just to run vist right..well as right as it can run | 01:17 |
| mcphail | wos: what about clicking the middle mouse button? | 01:17 |
| tCzern | what would I need to install here, just compiz or compiz-gnome? | 01:17 |
| wos | oh | 01:17 |
| jrib | tCzern: what would you need to install for what? | 01:17 |
| elf-up | tCzern: I would install compiz first | 01:17 |
| Guiri | Basically, denyhosts seems to be readding hosts that I take out of the /etc/hosts.deny. for example, it accidentally added an IP of a friend. yet denyhosts.py --purge and taking the IP out of the hosts.deny doesn't work. denyhosts readds it in 5 minutes | 01:17 |
| zsquareplusc | arve: if you just need to copy some files i'd use scp. if you need a shaed folder there is NFS for the linux world and samba if you need to share with windozew too | 01:17 |
| teratoma_ | how do i change which xorg driver i am using ? | 01:18 |
| jrib | teratoma_: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:18 |
| tCzern | k | 01:18 |
| elf-up | tCzern: then compiz settings manager | 01:18 |
| teratoma_ | jrib: i dont think that's true in intrepid | 01:18 |
| elf-up | tCzern: i forgot the command that youd enter in terminal | 01:18 |
| tCzern | uhm, I would need openGL for this? | 01:18 |
| jrib | teratoma_: it is. What do you want to do exactly? | 01:18 |
| teratoma_ | or maybe i have some wacky dual monitor thing, nevermind | 01:18 |
| cached | so i supposedly have java5 installed, but the command 'java' yields 'bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory' what should I do? | 01:18 |
| mcphail | Guiri: denyhosts may be parsing /var/log/auth.log again, thereby blocking your friend's ip | 01:18 |
| elf-up | tCzern: if your graphics card supports it | 01:18 |
| helix | hello everyone | 01:18 |
| teratoma_ | i am using whatever dual monitor thing intrepid uses... where does it store the xorg conf ? | 01:19 |
| Try80 | musik: how do I get the network manager to come back? it went away when I removed the card and put it back in... | 01:19 |
| arve | zsquareplusc: both are running linux. I don't think copying the files would work, i'm trying to install a quake3 server, and the installation process asks for the CD (apt-get install quake3-data) | 01:19 |
| jrib | cached: how did you install it? Did you use the repositories? | 01:19 |
| elf-up | tCzern: but i dont think youd need to download it | 01:19 |
| burner | Try80: alt+f2, nm-applet | 01:19 |
| tCzern | not sure what my graphic card is and were I could find the driver | 01:19 |
| tCzern | is that all in synaptic? | 01:19 |
| zsquareplusc | cached: you may need to run update-alternatives for java | 01:20 |
| helix | I was just surfing the internet when my wireless got disconnected. Thought it was the router so performed reboot and other checks. Though the other computers windows based work fine. I can't seem to connect to my wireless network anymore as It just asks for the passwords over and over. Any help? I much appreciate it. | 01:20 |
| jrib | teratoma_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is where it stores the xorg.conf. However you probably mean to ask something else. Maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config is what you want | 01:20 |
| KingBling | ty for the help im going to go get the old heavy clunker out the storage and try it | 01:20 |
| elf-up | tCzern: the driver is probably closed-source or restricted | 01:20 |
| burner | help.. compiz doesn't start... nvidia-glx-177 2.6.27-7-generic | 01:20 |
| Angah | hi..how to change resolution screen from command prompt? | 01:20 |
| jrib | Angah: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 01:20 |
| Try80 | burner: thanks, but it didn't come back up.. | 01:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | tCzern: lspci will identify your graphics device | 01:20 |
| arve | zsquareplusc: i'll have a look at NFS; thanks a lot! :) | 01:20 |
| mindrape | Angah - edit xorg.conf, logout, then CTRL ALT BCKSPCE | 01:20 |
| pupp | thank you mindrape!! | 01:20 |
| mindrape | you find it pupp? | 01:20 |

| KingBling | havent used a 18in screen in 3 years ouch | 01:20 |
| zsquareplusc | arve: you can right click on folders in nautlis and say "share" | 01:21 |
| pupp | i did as u said.. when i dissapear from IRC you will know i got booted off hehe | 01:21 |
| mindrape | ah, gotcha. | 01:21 |
| burner | elf-up: i was rockin compiz throughout development of 8.10... only a recent update possibly? | 01:21 |
| quagga | bonhoffer: have you logged out / logged in since? | 01:21 |
| arve | zsquareplusc: tried that, it asked me to install Samba | 01:21 |
| ohubuntu | KingBling.... it should be a one time thing just to setup | 01:21 |
| zsquareplusc | arve: it looks like it uses samba, yes | 01:21 |
| elf-up | burner: i have no idea | 01:21 |
| tCzern | Via Unichrome, no word about opengl | 01:22 |
| ohubuntu | any ever join ubuntu to AD domains? does it work? | 01:22 |
| arve | which i did. i suppose i'll have to install samba on the server as well then, to be able to read it | 01:22 |
| elf-up | burner: every major distro update breaks my compiz and network drivers | 01:22 |
| * burner has direct rendering... but compiz fails to start | 01:22 | |
| helix | got disconnected from wireless and I can't reconnect (asks for password over and over), any help? (im on ethernet right now) | 01:22 |
| elf-up | burner: whats your graphics chipset | 01:22 |
| cached | jrib: yes, the repositories | 01:22 |
| bonhoffer | quagga, yes i have logged in and out | 01:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | tCzern: the chances of compiz working w/ that chipset, are the chances of rosie odonell getting into a size 3 | 01:22 |
| bonhoffer | java version "1.6.0_0" | 01:22 |
| arve | zsquareplusc: well thanks a lot, i guess i'm on the right track after all | 01:22 |
| jrib | cached: what package did you install exactly? | 01:22 |
| burner | aww... that's not always true for me, but I was hoping it was some easy thing that everyone has been asking lately ;) | 01:22 |
| bonhoffer | OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode) | 01:22 |
| musikgoat | Try80: yeah, i cannot find a successful post with that chipset anywhere | 01:22 |
| burner | elf-up: 7300 LE | 01:22 |
| tCzern | heh | 01:23 |
| jrib | bonhoffer: tried using sun's java? | 01:23 |
| musikgoat | Try80: for WPA | 01:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | tCzern: is that a laptop, or a PC? | 01:23 |
| elf-up | burner: GeForce? | 01:23 |
| tCzern | I don't really need this, this PC is meant to be for Audio Recording only | 01:23 |
| tCzern | PC | 01:23 |
| djhash | what is the significance of user ids? other than having numerical ids for users? would it cause a problem if I created a user with a UID less than 1000? | 01:23 |
| tCzern | I could get a new card, I know | 01:23 |
| burner | elf-up: yep | 01:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, if you want it to work, you could pick up an nvidia card on the cheap, but if its not a huge deal t you, compiz isn't really that big a deal | 01:23 |
| mrpockets | oh hi | 01:23 |
| zsquareplusc | arve: other solution, make an iso, copy that using scp and loop mount it on the other machine | 01:23 |
| mrpockets | how do i make an ISO of a CD i've got? | 01:23 |
| Guiri | mcphail: I deleted the IP from both files. we'll see if it works | 01:23 |
| elf-up | burner: i think there's some driver updates in the repositories | 01:23 |
| djhash | !iso | 01:24 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 01:24 |
| musikgoat | Try80: it seems the acx driver is only WEP, as you have figured out, and ndiswrapper doesn't seem to play nice with that driver, at least from what i see on the internet | 01:24 |
| mindrape | !uid | 01:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about uid | 01:24 |
| zsquareplusc | mrpockets: cat /dev/cdrom > image.iso ;-) | 01:24 |
| scunizi | djhash, I think that user id's are automatically generated.. it's a way for the system to match permissions to a user.. | 01:24 |
| jrib | djhash: user's you create should have user id's >= 1000. Stuff below 1000 may be reserved for "special" users | 01:24 |
| musikgoat | Try80: is there an #ndiswrapper channel for additional questions? | 01:24 |
| emorris | hi, is there any way to list the | 01:24 |
| cached | jrib: sun-java5-bin | 01:24 |
| arve | zsquareplusc: good idea | 01:24 |

| jrib | cached: pastebin: apt-cache policy sun-java5-bin; dpkg -L sun-java5-bin | grep bin | 01:25 |
| emorris | hi, is there any way to list all the packages which have had a particular version forced? | 01:25 |
| Try80 | musik: I guess there is... | 01:25 |
| arve | How come i didn't think of that myself? :) | 01:25 |
| mrpockets | nvm | 01:25 |
| Try80 | musik: thanks for lookin for me. | 01:25 |
| zsquareplusc | mrpockets:you may need to run it with sudo prefixed | 01:25 |
| mrpockets | i cna also just click on it and click copy | 01:25 |
| bonhoffer | jrib, that is what i am using | 01:25 |
| djhash | jrib: i'm aware.. but would it break a system if I create a user with an ID less than 1000? I'll check on permissions and such.. I just want to make sure it doesn't affect the system and other users | 01:25 |
| joel | hi all, how can I configure gnome-terminal to start with a bigger window? like 100x50 or so. | 01:25 |
| jrib | emorris: you mean that have an update available? What do you mean by a "forced version"? | 01:25 |
| arve | Joel: Profiles | 01:25 |
| jrib | bonhoffer: well what you pasted said openjdk, so something is wrong :) | 01:26 |
| joel | arve: I've looked in the profiles, but can't find a setting... | 01:26 |
| arve | sec | 01:26 |
| bonhoffer | oh, hold on sorry -- let me check | 01:26 |
| porter1 | Oh thank the heavens! Wicd can properly connect to the wireless network I'm using with broadcom drivers!!!! | 01:26 |
| jrib | djhash: well if you conflict with a user that needs to be added later, I imagine there may be some problems. Why do you want to do this? | 01:26 |
| emilien_ | need help can't get to vista partition from ubuntu , keeps asking for password even though i set no windows account | 01:26 |
| porter1 | Why the hell isn't Wicd the default network manager for ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| arve | joel: nvm profiles. use launch options | 01:26 |
| emorris | jrib: well generally speaking, stuff is upgraded to the latest version, however, in Synaptic you can force a package to a lower version. Is there a way to find these? (I'm assuming that they will not be upgraded automatically since they had a lower version forced.) | 01:27 |
| joel | arve: okay, how do you do that? | 01:27 |
| === gretch_ is now known as gretchne | ||
| jrib | emilien_: I have no idea how you are trying to access your windows partition from ubuntu from your question, but my guess is whatever it is is asking you for your ubuntu user's password | 01:27 |
| arve | joel hang on, looking up some stuff | 01:27 |
| usser | porter1, cause network manager rules | 01:27 |

| djhash | jrib: well.. I want to create a user on my system that won't show up on the Users and Groups GUI in ubuntu.. i thought users under 1000 other than root.. are ignored.. | 01:28 |
| emilien_ | jrib, your right , i kept typing my pass kept getting wrong * hang head in shame * | 01:28 |

| jrib | can-o-worms: you still need to be more specific about what sound settings you are looking for | 01:29 |

| mindrape | err it might be -l for loginname... in any event man ssh | 01:33 |
| bonhoffer | mindrape, to see the more recent date ? | 01:33 |
| mindrape | surely | 01:34 |
| jrib | can-o-worms: you might want to start with ~/.gconf/ ~/.gnome2/ ~/.local and ~/.config/ as likely candidates and narrow it down from there | 01:34 |
| mcphail | Antioch: how big is your harddisk? | 01:34 |
| musikgoat | Antioch: 2GB partition should be sufficient, but may not be necessary | 01:34 |

| mindrape | dewente - well its probably because somewhere on the network port 22 is being blocked from incoming requests. | 01:35 |
| zsquareplusc | dewente: does your isp filter port 22? try running ssh on a higher port number | 01:35 |
| smil3y | dewente, you have port 22 opened on your router? | 01:35 |

| Palace_Chan | well, or if you made a change that you want to go back, would restoring from an sbackup of root folder be equivalent to say, a system restore to that date ? | 01:52 |
| jrib | dasginganinja: you can't really | 01:52 |
| usser | zsquareplusc, yea u right actually it wont even work with && i think | 01:53 |

| jrib | Palace_Chan: if you restore the right files, sure | 01:53 |

| hilton | So I installed Ubuntu 8.10... hard GPU freeze after 2-10 minutes. Ended up turning off Desktop Effects, and that solved it, at least for a while.

| dou213 | !server | 02:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 02:25 |
| Randall1 | I was wondering how to uninstall (or check) what graphics drivers i have installed because when i try and install the recommended driver for ubuntu it says that it must run in low graphics mode and in hardware driver it says "a different version of this driver is in use" | 02:25 |
| VastHappyDude | i have the card activated | 02:25 |
| nkei0 | what do you guys think is best, kde or gnome? | 02:25 |
| VastHappyDude | but no ip is assigned | 02:25 |
| woody86_ | is there an IRC channel for jaunty? | 02:25 |

| matthew | Randall try sysinfo | 02:26 |
| Xintruder | hey musafer | 02:26 |
| Xintruder | where u musafering | 02:26 |
| Randall1 | VastHappyDude: not quite sure | 02:26 |
| dou213 | zsquareplusc, didn't know that, thx m8 | 02:26 |
| Crusix | Thanks Seronis, DLing now | 02:26 |
| nkei0 | seronis: Yes, but that just said you can run kde in ubuntu... | 02:26 |
| VastHappyDude | dang | 02:26 |
| Randall1 | matthew: do i need to install it | 02:26 |
| Randall1 | VastHappyDude: still i would try ndiswrapper | 02:26 |
| matthew | yeah sudo apt-get install sysinfo | 02:26 |
| matthew | it tells you your system settings and stuff | 02:27 |
| VastHappyDude | randall1: could you send me a link to some instructions on how to use ndiswrapper? | 02:27 |
| Cann0n | VastHappyDude: what card? | 02:27 |
| matthew | linux version gnome gcc x server etc etc etc | 02:27 |
| droids | i have a question about rmmod: if a module automatically loads when a device is detected, how would i go about making the module not automatically load? | 02:27 |
| xolotl_ | clear | 02:27 |
| xolotl_ | woops :p | 02:28 |
| VastHappyDude | dell wireless 1350 | 02:28 |
| seronis | nkei0: to be honest i havent used kde in a few years and it was on redhat and suse i believe. but i always thought gnome had a better style and feel | 02:28 |
| Cann0n | ah | 02:28 |
| zsquareplusc | hilton: both use the same X server. gnome and kde are just desktop systems built around two different widget sets. there is also xfce and a lot of other window managers (but they do not go as far as desktop envirionments) | 02:28 |
| seronis | nkei0: but that question is like asking if a programming likes C++ or Java better. its all in what you want to get out of it | 02:28 |
| matthew | openbox and fluxbox are cool | 02:28 |
| Cann0n | fluxbox ftw | 02:28 |
| matthew | blackbox is good as well | 02:28 |
| Randall1 | VastHappyDude: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ there is the ndiswrapper page what i would recommend is getting the ndisgtk frontend | 02:28 |

| xolotl_ | I have a quick question guys. If anyone is familiar Aircards. I'm running 8.10 32bit. Trying to get a UM175 alltel card to work. Unfortunately HAL sees it as a mass usb storage. Might anyone have some suggestions? | 02:30 |
| nkei0 | brb, testing something | 02:30 |
| VastHappyDude | xoloto_: is that the one that has the card reader? | 02:30 |
| zsquareplusc | xolotl_: no clue, but some USB wlan cards also have mass storage build in IIRC | 02:30 |
| VastHappyDude | ok, i downloaded ndiswrapper... now what? | 02:31 |
| xolotl_ | No. its a usb modem with a built in 30mb flashdrive that holds the windows and mac drivers | 02:31 |
| VastHappyDude | xolotl_: that is why... | 02:31 |
| Randall1 | VastHappyDude: get the frontend for it | 02:31 |
| Sc00terKen | Ok is there any way to find out if i am using the right Graph Driver | 02:31 |
| xolotl_ | zsquareplusc : Yes, it does. Isnt there a way to edit HAL to recognize it as a usb modem as well as a mass storage? | 02:32 |
| gavagai | I have a partition that is 99% empty. i want to resize it. it doesn't matter whether i make the space in the front or the back, right? both are safe? windows isn't on it or anything | 02:32 |
| zsquareplusc | xolotl_: so that explains the mass storage device. nove oyu need an other driver for the wlan part. if its isb try "lsusb" and search for the device vendor:product id | 02:32 |
| VastHappyDude | where is the frontend? | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | gavagai, shouldent matter. Depends on what you want to do with the new space also. the UUID might change, that may not be an issue either | 02:33 |
| xolotl_ | zsquareplusc : I have what lsusb lists and i know what it needs to be. | 02:33 |
| Randall1 | should be sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 02:33 |
| gavagai | dr_willis, i want to make some space and create a new small partition and install another version of linux | 02:33 |
| zsquareplusc | gavagai: you can resize and move empty partitions. and ext2 should work even with data on it. but not all formatted partitions can easily be moved | 02:33 |
| gavagai | the space is in an extended partition | 02:34 |
| Randall1 | VastHappyDude: should be sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | gavagai, may want to put the new space at the end then. | 02:34 |

| Bajoran | old one at least | 02:35 |
| swif | For some reason when I came home today, my number pad on my computer no longer allows me to enter numbers. I can only use the number row on the left side of the keyboard. I have a cat and suspect he may have walked on the computer and changed some setting. | 02:35 |
| VastHappyDude | i am starting to like linux | 02:35 |
| Bajoran | new one is super-user friendly | 02:35 |
| Bajoran | a little too much :( | 02:35 |
| mistermeh | there's no ncurses-dev | 02:35 |
| VastHappyDude | swif: NUMLOCK! | 02:35 |
| zsquareplusc | swif: num-lock key pressed? | 02:35 |
| swif | If it helps any, when I hit the arrow keys on the keypad, it moves the mouse cursor one pixel for each press. Once I discovered this issue, the trackpad stopped working. is there a setting that will allow me to use the keypad? | 02:35 |
| joebodo | !cat | 02:35 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:35 |
| VastHappyDude | now what do i do? the app has installed... | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | mistermeh, apt-cache search ncurses | grep dev | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | ---> shows about 6 potential packages here. for that answer. :) | 02:35 |
| josh | what temp should my fans turn on? | 02:35 |
| swif | VastHappyDude: zsquareplusc: Already checked numlock, it was my first assumption | 02:36 |
| zsquareplusc | swif: you can configure gnome to use the keypad as mouse replacement. it in the settings for disabled people | 02:36 |
| Bajoran | josh it depends on what your hardware is, how efficient the fans are | 02:36 |
| Bajoran | etc | 02:36 |
| jrib | swif: try ctrl-shift-numlock | 02:36 |
| Randall1 | matthew: sysinfo didn't really didn't help. any ideas on how to unistall a old graphics driver | 02:36 |
| swif | jrib: Thank you so much. | 02:36 |
| Randall1 | VastHappyDude: well did u figure out the driver u need | 02:36 |
| jrib | swif: now how did your cat do that :P | 02:36 |
| swif | jrib: The trackpad still won't work, however... Any guess why that may have happened? | 02:36 |
| josh | quad core 2.4 ghz 4 gb ram | 02:36 |
| swif | jrib: This cat is *good*. | 02:36 |
| Sc00terKen | IS there any way to find out if there is a graphic Driver for The Intel cards or no | 02:36 |
| Bajoran | if you were running a server farm you'd want your refrigerant air conditioning blasting all day long and drying the air, while your filters take the dust out and your server fans go full blast | 02:36 |
| josh | brand new computer | 02:36 |
| VastHappyDude | i know where the driver is | 02:37 |
| VastHappyDude | shall i download it? | 02:37 |
| zsquareplusc | jrib: the cat has 4 feet and it were just 3 keys ;-) | 02:37 |
| Bajoran | o | 02:37 |
| thomasite | Hello. How do I convert .ogg to mp3? Thanks! | 02:37 |
| jrib | swif: don't know about the trackpad | 02:37 |
| Bajoran | what size fans josh | 02:37 |
| Randall1 | yes, download it | 02:37 |
| swif | Hmm.. I'll reboot and check | 02:37 |
| Bajoran | and what fans are you trying to control | 02:37 |
| josh | how do i tell? | 02:37 |
| swif | Regardless, thank you very much jrib... I was getting pissed =) | 02:37 |
| VastHappyDude | then what? | 02:37 |
| openstandards | usser, thank you it worked..... i've got a dodgy ethernet port on this lappy i never knew about but thanks again | 02:37 |

| Cann0n | iphone g3, anyone get it to work with linux? | 02:38 |
| Bajoran | sysinfo is a little more cryptic than most device info programs but it does the job | 02:38 |
| Sc00terKen | antioch its sysinfo sudo apt-get sysinfo if dont have it installed | 02:38 |
| Antioch | Sc00terKen is that the gtk gui? I remember there being a gtk program, but I cant seem to find it in Intrepid (Haven't used ubuntu in a while) | 02:39 |

| qbmaniac | eat it? | 02:39 |
| Antioch | joebodo is it gui or text? | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | thomasite, throw it away since you dont want to use rpms on ubuntu | 02:40 |
| joebodo | Antioch gui | 02:40 |
| Sc00terKen | Antioch -- its gui | 02:40 |
| Antioch | Thanks, this might be the one I remember. Why isn't it a default install anymore? I'm pretty sure it used to be.... | 02:40 |
| thomasite | Ugh. I just hope there's one on Synaptic. Thanks! | 02:40 |
| joebodo | some very useful programs have been left out of the default distro - probly due to space | 02:41 |

| bungieQord | joebodo, yep, also, does taking something as an "argument" mean they have to input something? It says it needs to take the login name as an argument and output user directory. Or should it just output the directory when they run it? | 03:14 |

| Diablo | horizonXP > you need to portforward services to that server | 03:31 |
| Bajoran | and then try running it | 03:31 |
| Sinister | do they sell boxes that i can connect to mine just for adding hard drive space and usb and firewire ? | 03:31 |
| mimin | adit | 03:32 |
| duelboot | HorizonXP, recommend using a random high port | 03:32 |
| Bajoran | russ_, probably not lol | 03:32 |
| Bajoran | depends though | 03:32 |
| chaos1 | Bajoran, ok. | 03:32 |
| Bajoran | is it an hp notebook? | 03:32 |
| army12bc | NAS | 03:32 |
| HorizonXP | duelboot: yeah, that probably makes sense, since I can't even access the server itself via the normal domain | 03:32 |
| Diablo | sinister> have alook at freenas.org | 03:32 |
| zsquareplusc | HorizonXP: you other pc are connected though the router? (NAT) so they all have the same IP to the outside world. giving them own names isn't very useful then | 03:32 |
| m4trix | 22 | 03:32 |
| russ_ | Bajoran: yes it is an hp notebook | 03:32 |
| HorizonXP | Diablo: my set up is DSL Modem (bridge mode) -> Server -> Wireless Router in WAP mode | 03:32 |
| Bajoran | so it has an hp recovery partition | 03:32 |
| bdunlap | i downloaded the 64bit 8.10 cd and it refuses to boot to the install screen. the cd seems to be burned correctly. i haev intel duo core 2 duo | 03:32 |
| duelboot | HorizonXP, is the router also your gateway? | 03:32 |
| Bajoran | it should function with the hardware and stuff russ_ | 03:32 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> you are mis-understanding the concepts of ICS, that includes port forwarding and nating to allow access to your internal lan servers from external | 03:33 |
| Bajoran | the hard part is getting the partitions made | 03:33 |
| Bajoran | last i heard, hp laptop bios are factory-locked so other os cannot be installed on it | 03:33 |
| Bajoran | though of course | 03:33 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: ok, let me read that article then. sorry :) | 03:33 |
| russ_ | Bajoran: why did you say probably not the first time? I'm scared to wipe vista now :( | 03:33 |
| duelboot | HorizonXP, you can also do what n8tuser is suggesting presuming your router is the gateway | 03:33 |
| Sinister | i like that | 03:33 |
| goat|lappy | Bajoran: bios doesn't have anything to do with the OS | 03:33 |
| Bajoran | :P | 03:33 |
| mersault | Has anyone tried to get the transmission web interface working? I've got a 8.10 server install going, and I can load the web interface, and I can launch transmission-daemon, but I can't get the web interface to connect to the daemon. What am I doing wrong? | 03:33 |
| Diablo | HorizonXp> you still need to portforward services ...... your server will be using nat to share the internet | 03:33 |
| Bajoran | hehe | 03:34 |
| Bajoran | goat|lappy, try installing ubuntu on an hp laptop then | 03:34 |
| Sinister | if you use distilled water in a cooling system if you get a leak would it still mess everything up ? | 03:34 |
| HorizonXP | duelboot: my router is not the gateway. it just sits there providing wireless access to my server. it doesn't even assign IPs, that's done by the DHCPD running on the server. | 03:34 |
| crimsun | russ_: you can install Ubuntu on an HP laptop just dandy. | 03:34 |
| Sinister | or should you use miniral sperits | 03:34 |
| joebodo | russ_ misinformation from Bajoran | 03:34 |
| crimsun | russ_: (I've debugged audio on HP laptops for years using Debian-based distros) | 03:34 |
| usser | HorizonXP, VPN | 03:34 |
| goat|lappy | Bajoran: thats crazytalk :-) but i've never heard of a bios affecting the MBR of a hard drive storing a bootloader | 03:35 |
| Diablo | HorizonXP> then your laptop is actging like a bridge | 03:35 |
| duelboot | HorizonXP, then you need to configure your gateway and/or firewall to allow access to the router, then you can port forward to your other boxes | 03:35 |
| goat|lappy | Bajoran: but i dont know, so i'll be quiet | 03:35 |
| kitche | Bajoran: works fine here | 03:35 |
| Diablo | you still need to portforward through your server | 03:35 |
| ce_girL | jambi | 03:35 |
| HorizonXP | yeah that makes sense... | 03:35 |
| HorizonXP | so am i looking at iptables then? | 03:35 |
| kitche | goat|lappy: it's not hp that does it is the motherboard maker | 03:35 |
| duelboot | HorizonXP, agree with usser, openvpn is a great one to use...but you still need to configure access to the router | 03:36 |
| ce_girL | jambi | 03:36 |
| usser | HorizonXP, look into openvpn, it'll let you create a virtual network between any computer on the internet that has vpn client installed and has the key and your lan through your server that has a certain vpn port exposed | 03:36 |
| HorizonXP | iptables is already set up according to the ICS article, to allow internet sharing | 03:36 |
| russ_ | crimson: but if I completely wipe vista off the C drive all of my hardware will work? | 03:36 |
| Diablo | better if you use a router box ex. ipcop smoothwall | 03:36 |
| zsquareplusc | HorizonXP: is your gateway an ubuntu machine or some soho router? | 03:36 |
| OddlotX4 | Anyone know when the next realease of the FGLRX drivers is supposed to come out? | 03:36 |
| Taza | Year of Ubuntu on the Desktop - 2725. It forgot it's kernel!!! | 03:36 |
| HorizonXP | gateway's an ubuntu machine | 03:36 |
| Diablo | HorizonXP > IPCOP router | 03:36 |
| HorizonXP | IPCOP? | 03:36 |
| duelboot | HorizonXP, iptables won't matter if you haven't configured your gateway/firewall to allow access to the router from the outside | 03:37 |
| zsquareplusc | HorizonXP: so, yes, then iptables | 03:37 |
| Diablo | ipcop.org | 03:37 |
| joebodo | russ_ vista does not make your hardware work - an operating system does. OS's such as ubuntu, xp, etc | 03:37 |
| fr33d0m | hey anyone know of how i can edit id3 tags directly from nautilus? | 03:37 |
| elf-up | joebodo: microsoft doenst make any hardware OR software work :) | 03:37 |
| russ_ | joebodo: great! Question: I wan't to dual boot xp and ubuntu should I formant using the ubuntu live cd and install xp second? | 03:38 |
| zsquareplusc | is there sometink like knoppix-terminal server on the ubuntu live cd? | 03:38 |
| bungieQord | what other editors can I use instead of vi? | 03:39 |
| oerms | nano | 03:39 |
| bungieQord | one that doesn't suck like vi, lowls | 03:39 |
| quarsaw | vim | 03:39 |
| fr33d0m | bungieqord nano | 03:39 |
| Diablo | vi?? | 03:39 |
| duelboot | bungieQord, gedit, nano, pico, etc | 03:39 |
| Diablo | omg | 03:39 |
| Taza | Okay, I've ran into some MAJOR trouble after updating to 8.10 | 03:39 |
| Diablo | most coders use vi :-) | 03:39 |
| zsquareplusc | ah bungieQord you mean vim instead of vi? ;-) | 03:39 |
| oerms | Diablo++ | 03:39 |
| Sinister | i need bitpim for kunubtu 8.10 | 03:39 |
| Taza | First of all, my sdhc drive disappeared. Half of everything is gone actually | 03:39 |
| joebodo | fr33d0m http://mundogeek.net/nautilus-scripts/ | 03:40 |
| duelboot | vi still has it's place, and plenty of fans, but I'm not one of them | 03:40 |
| bungieQord | idk what happened in vi, but I couldn't backspace and the arrow keys were making letters instead of moving | 03:40 |
| fr33d0m | russ_ resize using livecd and dual boot directly from install | 03:40 |
| Bajoran | yeah my bad, that was from a year or two ago | 03:40 |
| joebodo | !dualboot | 03:40 |
| mersault | Good evening. I'm having difficulty making the web interface for transmission (1.34) work on ubuntu server 8.10. I've installed the transmission-cli package, and copied over (and then modified) the clutch.conf file from a ubuntu 8.04 install where clutch was still a separate package. I've launched transmission-daemon with a config dir, a download dir, and -T (this is just testing right now, I'm not worried about security), but I can't | 03:40 |
| ubottu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 03:40 |
| fr33d0m | thanks joebodo | 03:40 |
| Bajoran | never bothered to look it up | 03:40 |
| Bajoran | seems the original creator of the information was just using bad drivers or something | 03:41 |
| joebodo | !dualboot | russ_ | 03:41 |
| ubottu | russ_: please see above | 03:41 |
| n8tuser | mersault-> whats the transmission app do? | 03:41 |
| bungieQord | how do you save and quit in nano? | 03:41 |
| duelboot | ctrl x | 03:41 |
| russ_ | ubottu: thx | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thx | 03:41 |
| elf-up | hey the openoffice.org 3.0 for intrepid ibex worked | 03:41 |
| duelboot | bungieQord, ctrl x | 03:41 |
| duelboot | bungieQord, it's at the bottom | 03:41 |
| mersault | n8tuser: bt client. | 03:41 |
| eido | what is the BusyBox initramfs? its not bash but it seems to have some basic commands of bash | 03:42 |
| n8tuser | mersault-> a client is not a daemon..are you sure its a client? | 03:42 |
| zsquareplusc | eido: busibox is a binary providing basic shell commands such as ls, cp and so one | 03:42 |
| mersault | n8tuser: transmission-daemon is the daemonized version of the client. ie, no gui, etc. | 03:42 |
| quarsaw | eido, busybox is an app that rolls common bash commands into one binary | 03:42 |
| inductiveload | hi guys! having a little trouble with a window list panel in ubuntu. i have it on the left of my screen from top to bottom. however, the buttons for the windows seem to get crushed up into the top third of the bar, and if a lot of windows are open, they start a new column rather than using the 2/3 empty vertical space below. | 03:42 |
| Palace_Chan | i launched sbackup, it said it would run int eh background with a certain PID, but i cant see it in the system monitor or by running ps -eaf, how can i tell when its done ? or see it ? | 03:43 |
| inductiveload | any idea how to make the buttons a fixed height, and use the whole bar? | 03:43 |
| gaelfx | is there any way to regenerate the files located in /var/lib/dpkg? | 03:43 |
| mersault | n8tuser: so yes, in this case it is both a daemon and a client. go figure. | 03:43 |
| PoPLoC | inductiveload: why don't you just drag it back up to the top or the bottom? | 03:43 |
| n8tuser | mersault-> what is it not doing? access to the internet? | 03:43 |
| Bajoran | gaelfx, by reinstalling dpkg really | 03:43 |
| mersault | n8tuser: the web interface is not able to communicate with the daemon. | 03:44 |
| storm-zen | I think tar corrupted a file. | 03:44 |
| gaelfx | Bajoran: well, how can I do that if I can't get synaptic running due to the lack of those files? | 03:44 |
| n8tuser | mersault-> at what port should the daemon allows web interface in? | 03:44 |
| Bajoran | fget | 03:44 |
| inductiveload | poploc: i'll screencap it for you i think i wasnt very clea | 03:45 |
| eido | quarsaw / zsquareplusc: is there anything I can do at it to diagnose a problem ...I have a eeepc 1000, downloaded the eeebuntu iso, made a bootable usb flash using unebootin, it boots but never goes to a menu like most live boots - just dumps me to busybox | 03:46 |
| OddlotX4 | New FGLRX release, when? Anyone know? | 03:46 |
| gaelfx | Bajoran: never heard of fget, and doesn't appear to be on my system :S | 03:46 |
| duelboot | gaelfx, try apt-get | 03:46 |
| mersault | n8tuser: 9091. default port for transmission-daemon. | 03:46 |
| Bajoran | duelboot, his dpackage is broken | 03:46 |
| duelboot | Bajoran, is that something he should admit in public ;) | 03:47 |
| n8tuser | mersault-> is the client configured to access the daemon at 9091? compare the daemon and the client settings | 03:47 |
| Bajoran | idk | 03:48 |
| inductiveload | poplac: this is what i get: http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotns5.png | 03:48 |
| gaelfx | duelboot: yeah, the reason I'm asking is that apt-get doesn't work, it says it can't find /var/lib/dpkg/status | 03:48 |
| Faithful | Hey I want to teach my kids Linux is there a good learning site you know about? | 03:49 |
| bungieQord | if you are in ssh, can you look up other user's home directories through commands? | 03:49 |
| Bajoran | gaelfx, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/dpkg | 03:49 |
| Bajoran | ? D; | 03:49 |
| inductiveload | poplac: the buttons also changes frequently but irregularly between one column and two | 03:49 |
| NH|Computer|Geek | LF|Irssi!!! | 03:49 |
| n8tuser | bungieQord-> cat /etc/passwd | 03:49 |
| ali_ | سلام . کسی اینجا هست بتونه به من کمک کنه | 03:49 |
| duelboot | bungieQord, if you have the permissions you can | 03:50 |
| Dominik314 | how can I find out what architecture my system has? | 03:50 |
| duelboot | bungieQord, your ssh user must have the permission | 03:50 |
| crashatau | Faithful, might want to try http://www.ubuntu.com/training/e-learning | 03:50 |
| n8tuser | Dominik314-> cat /proc/cpuinfo | 03:50 |
| sy | 有没有说中文啊？ | 03:50 |
| gaelfx | !cn | sy | 03:50 |
| ubottu | sy: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 03:50 |
| n8tuser | duelboot-> no need for special perms to read /etc/passwd | 03:50 |
| Dominik314 | n8tuser: it says I have i686 architecture is this equivilent to AMD64? | 03:51 |
| n8tuser | meaning everyone can read it | 03:51 |
| sy | thank you | 03:51 |
| gaelfx | 没事 | 03:51 |
| tigaa | fffff | 03:51 |
| Dominik314 | n8tuser: I am trying to decide on the correct build of swift wiesel | 03:51 |
| n8tuser | Dominik314-> i dont think so, but i dont own a 64bit cpu either | 03:51 |
| crashatau | i686 <> AMD64 | 03:52 |
| duelboot | n8tuser, question was about home directories of other users | 03:52 |
| woody86 | anyone know how to get a digital card reader to work on ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| Dominik314 | n8tuser: I don't either it is a sempron mobile, but swiftweasel only has i386 and AMD64 builds | 03:52 |
| n8tuser | duelboot-> correct, and it can be found out by cat the /etc/password file | 03:52 |
| Dominik314 | crashatau: so i686 is equivelent to AMD64? | 03:52 |
| crashatau | no | 03:52 |
| break_free | whenever I connect my external drive, dmesg says "Device offlined - not read after error recovery" | 03:53 |
| break_free | if I unplug and plug back in a few times it works | 03:53 |
| crashatau | i686 = 32bit | 03:53 |
| duelboot | n8tuser, but I thought he wanted to view other users' home directories | 03:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Is there some reason why home directories would be set as world readable by default? | 03:53 |
| crashatau | AMD64 = 64 Bit | 03:53 |
| n8tuser | duelboot-> he just want to find out what their home directory was when i read it, maybe i mis-read | 03:53 |
| joebodo | that's so others can read them | 03:53 |
| NH|Computer|Geek | im right your wrong, now get over it | 03:54 |
| Sinister | well im going for a beer | 03:54 |
| LF|Irssi | O.o | 03:54 |
| Dominik314 | crashatau: thanks | 03:54 |
| crashatau | np | 03:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | joebodo, is that directed at me? | 03:54 |
| joebodo | tgm4883_laptop yes | 03:54 |
| duelboot | NH|Computer|Geek, it's "you're wrong" so you're wrong ;) | 03:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | joebodo, doesn't that seem like a security risk? Why would other people need to access your home dir? | 03:55 |
| n8tuser | mersault-> found out the differences on the port they use ? | 03:55 |

| joebodo | tgm4883_laptop in order to share information - normal users dont usually have permissions to write elsewhere | 03:55 |
| eido | can someone help, i booted off a live flash pen created with unebootin, booted console F1 last command loading /ubninit...ready then loading please wait... then on F8 I am dumped to the busybox. is there a way to diagnose the problem using busybox? | 03:55 |

| * NH|Computer|Geek goes back to DIN | 03:56 | |
| joebodo | tgm4883_laptop you can setup private directories within your home directory | 03:56 |

| tgm4883_laptop | that seems like a strange default | 03:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Is there no other way? | 03:56 |

| === n30 is now known as n3o | ||
| eido | Bajoran: yeah it has casper | 03:57 |
| duelboot | harleypig, you have to use manual config and update your dns setting there...unless someone knows a better way | 03:57 |
| crashatau | harleypig: I think you need to look under the "network" "administration" in the gnome menu | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | swif really? i/o interrupt servicing still fails eh? | 03:58 |
| Bajoran | idk | 03:58 |
| Bajoran | probably eido but uh | 03:58 |
| Bajoran | never used buisybox b4 | 03:58 |
| crashatau | haleypig: Most like dns is set to update from dhcp. Set it to static then the DNS entries won't get blown away. | 03:58 |

| Bajoran | not sure what the problem is thoug | 03:58 |
| eido | Bajoran: well what should i mount "startx" is an unknown command | 03:58 |
| n8tuser | harleypig-> look at your dhclient.conf file | 03:59 |
| crashatau | harleypig: there should be a KDE equivalent. | 03:59 |

| eido | the hdd only has xp on it and its on an eeepc with no cd rom\ | 03:59 |
| swif | n8tuser: I've been having the issue since I did fresh installs of Intrepid on every computer I've used it on. | 03:59 |
| eido | Bajoran: well it crapped out to busybox during a live boot | 03:59 |
| n8tuser | swif i have experienced such since 6.06 | 03:59 |
| swif | n8tuser: is this just some sh**y i/o bug that they haven't fixed? | 04:00 |
| swif | n8tuser: I've never experienced this until Intrepid, ever. And it happens frequently enough where I'm losing data, left with half-burned DVDs, etc. | 04:00 |

| alexander | hello | 04:01 |
| KillerOrca | anyone have a surefire way of ripping your DVD movies in ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| chaos1 | Hello. I was wondering if anyone here knows how to make an emerald file. I was told to take the files and create a tar.gz archive. Then append .emerald to the end. If I understand this correctly I create the archive then change .tar.gz to .emerald or replace .tar.gz with .emerald. | 04:02 |
| chaos1 | Please straighten me out. | 04:02 |
| chaos1 | Thanks | 04:02 |
| HorizonXP | ok question: i have my rules in iptables set up for forwarding according to the page n8tuser sent me. I use dhcp3-server and bind9. is it necessary for me to use ipmasq as well? because otherwise, i can't access the internet from my LAN machines, and all i can see ipmasq do is muck up my iptables... | 04:02 |
| Tapnzout | is there a way to alt+ctl+del to see task manager or something to recover from a gui lockup without a reboot? | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | swif perhaps you have a hw thats not on the list of certified ones? | 04:02 |
| alien|freak | anyone know how I can get cryptosetup i(Luks ) nstalled on ubuntu 8.10 ? or what package is needed? | 04:02 |
| swif | n8tuser: Hmm... never happens when I'm bringing interfaces up/down or associating/disassociating | 04:02 |
| droids | are the forums down atm? | 04:02 |
| Bajoran | chaos1, yes? | 04:02 |
| joebodo | Tapnzout you can do control-alt-backspace to restart X | 04:02 |
| swif | n8tuser: I'm running it on three machines, all different years, two desktops and one laptop, one is quite new (though it's a custom box) | 04:03 |
| crashatau | Tapnzout: ctrl+F1 to a terminal and run top | 04:03 |
| bungieQord | hey guys | 04:03 |
| Diablo | ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f3/f4... to switch to a terminal screen | 04:03 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> ipmasq do indeed messes around with the iptables rules, so either use straight un-adulterated iptable rules or straight ipmasq | 04:03 |
| alexander | I have a relatively fresh install of hardy heron and everything just seams to run very slow - i ran winxp on the same box and it was perfect. 2.5 ghz amd with 2gb ram - is this normal? | 04:03 |
| chaos1 | Bajoran, So I take the files and create a tar.gz archive. Then append .emerald to the end. If I understand this correctly I create the archive then change .tar.gz to .emerald or replace .tar.gz with .emerald. | 04:04 |
| zetheroo1 | when I leave my computer alone for a while and come back I regularily find it with a black screen and it is frozen and won't respond to anything except a hard reset. How can I fix this? | 04:04 |
| eido | where does startx come from on this ubuntu install it functions startx launches X but at busybox errors /bin/sh: startx: not found | 04:04 |
| Bajoran | :| | 04:04 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: i'd rather use iptables rules. but i used those 3 on the page you sent, and they're probably not enuf because packets aren't being forwarded | 04:04 |

| tony_ | rdw200169_, how I stop that? | 04:05 |
| Diablo | tapnzout> is that a fresh install of ubuntu ? | 04:05 |
| bungieQord | I am using script to search for specific users with "cat /etc/passwd" what would it use with grep to pipe ONLY the user directory ?? | 04:05 |
| rdw200169_ | tony_: you have to remove them from the admin group | 04:05 |
| tony_ | rdw200169_, ok brb | 04:05 |
| chaos1 | Bajoran, in the emerald theme manager | 04:05 |
| plouffe | Can't install "Distribution updates>ubuntu-desktop (26KB)", update manager won't let me select the check box. Any idea why? (8.10,64AMD,desktop) | 04:05 |
| joebodo | zetheroo1 check what the computer will do after x amount of time - preferences->power management | 04:05 |
| rdw200169_ | tony_: depends on whats in the visudo file | 04:05 |
| zetheroo1 | joebodo: after 35 min the display goes to sleep | 04:06 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: could it be that i'm not setting that ip_forward flag? maybe removing ipmasq unsets that... | 04:06 |
| rdw200169_ | tony_: but, if i remember correctly, the default gives the admin group members full root access | 04:06 |

| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 04:19 |

| crashatau | mastrgamr_: depends what you are trying to fix? | 04:24 |
| KyTiX | Surgex: and if that doesnt satisfy you , you can use an online aim client like meebo.com which allows you to login to like 4 different clients of instant messaging at the same time all in the same buddy list. | 04:24 |

| Terrell316 | I think the information in grub is wrong, I just dont knw what it should look like | 04:25 |
| mastrgamr_ | though my linux just froze and i had to do emergency shutdown | 04:25 |
| x86 | I found this: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/03/where-can-i-find-inittab-in-ubuntu-edgy-eft-or-feisty-fawn.html, and I copied /etc/event.d/tty6 to /etc/event.d/ast, and used it as a template for making one for asterisk, but telinit q didn't start asterisk | 04:25 |

| Randall1 | KillerOrca: how would i go about getting my video card to work maybe? | 04:32 |
| KyTiX | Devin: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 04:32 |
| Devin | 8.04 | 04:32 |
| zelrikriando | I have a question related to pidgin, is there a way to have only one single window for everything? | 04:33 |
| crashatau | zelrikriando: Not that I'm aware of | 04:33 |
| zelrikriando | if not where should I post feedback to address that? | 04:33 |
| KillerOrca | Randall1 is this a new install or an upgrade? | 04:33 |
| leohartx | how do i restore my "auto eth0" ? after deleted it , i unable to use network manager. | 04:33 |
| KyTiX | Devin: Have you got your drivers for your wireless installed onto your laptop? | 04:33 |
| crashatau | zelrikriando: Pidgins site I guess. | 04:33 |
| zelrikriando | ok... | 04:33 |
| Devin | I've tried all of the "fixes", and I've had no luck with any | 04:33 |
| brain187 | anyone buy powerdvd yet? | 04:34 |
| crashatau | leohartx: How did you "delete" it? | 04:34 |
| Randall1 | KillerOrca: should be an upgrade but since 7.10 everytime i enable my card it tells me to start in low-graphics mode after restarting | 04:34 |
| Ohmu | Is there some way I can see how big folders are? My HDD's full & It would be very useful to get a representation of where all the gumpf is. | 04:34 |
| pinkey | under 8.10, I'd like to configure a VPN session under the Network Manager / Network Connections applet, but the "Add" button is grayed out. Any ideas why? | 04:34 |
| crashatau | Ohmu: du -ksh /<folder> | 04:34 |
| josh | i'm trying to install compiz, when i tried to install it in terminal it said | 04:34 |
| KyTiX | Devin: what kind of wireless card do you have? | 04:34 |
| Devin | Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) | 04:34 |
| josh | it said there is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly | 04:35 |
| josh | does anyone know what that means? | 04:35 |
| KillerOrca | Randall1Have you considered doing a fresh install from a CD after backing up your files? | 04:35 |
| joemccall86 | wow, lots of people here. | 04:35 |
| KillerOrca | yeah, it's like hong kong | 04:35 |
| KyTiX | Devin: so I assume you have already setup roaming mode and such? | 04:35 |
| KillerOrca | Devin take a look at this long guide http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2008/04/25/working-with-wireless-in-linux/1 | 04:36 |
| Devin | um, not really, I can't pick up any networks or anything | 04:36 |
| HorizonXP | hey, n8tuser, i have a question about that article you sent. if you scroll down to where he talks about SNAT, that applies to me. my DSL modem's in bridged mode, but my IP addy is dynamic... what do I do with that line? | 04:36 |
| joemccall86 | I have a development question. Am I in the right channel? | 04:36 |
| Ohmu | crashatau, thanks! | 04:36 |
| tony_ | hello, does anyone know of a command line tool to get the NET traffic of a page as it loads, just like in firebug? | 04:36 |
| L3Tum | Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to get the "Create Archive" option back on the right-click menu? I'm creating a theme and for some reason the option has disappeared from the menu. I just restarted, but it's still gone. | 04:36 |
| crashatau | Ohmu: Anytime :) | 04:37 |
| Crusix | am I the only one having to deal with hotmail telling me my browser is out of date even though it is clearly NOT? | 04:37 |
| KyTiX | Devin: ^^ Agree with Killer0cra + make sure you have done the basics. Check out this example http://lapserv.maths.cam.ac.uk/docs/ubuntu-804-wireless.html | 04:37 |
| L3Tum | Crusix, mine does the same thing | 04:37 |
| Nabi | apt-get install regexxer | 04:38 |
| Nabi | E: Couldn't find package regexxer | 04:38 |

| === nicholas_ is now known as kompulsa_dot_com | ||
| shafiel | hi | 04:38 |
| KillerOrca | Randall1 did you say it was an nvidia card? | 04:39 |
| joemccall86 | Crusix: Microsoft hates linux users. This is something that their hotmail site does if you run firefox under linux. Try searching for a user agent switcher. | 04:39 |
| shafiel | hi? | 04:39 |
| KillerOrca | Crusix or ditch hotmail and get gmail | 04:39 |
| south_korea | hi | 04:39 |
| south_korea | hi shafiel | 04:39 |
| brain187 | can somone tell me what the best ocr software is | 04:39 |
| south_korea | OCR;optical charecter reader | 04:39 |
| Devin | what it says to do is the default setting for the network manager | 04:40 |
| south_korea | best ocr = human | 04:40 |
| brain187 | besides that | 04:40 |
| crashatau | Doesn't Gnome have a OCR package? | 04:40 |
| south_korea | try google | 04:41 |
| Ohmu | How hard would it be to do a script that will fetch all the folders in the current one, and list them together with sizes, biggest first? | 04:41 |
| leohartx | crashatau: i used network manager | 04:41 |
| KillerOrca | Devin can you not revert to the defaults? | 04:41 |
| crashatau | Ohmu: easy | 04:41 |
| Devin | will a dellbuntu install help with the broadcom issues? | 04:41 |
| KillerOrca | what is it like ls -1? | 04:41 |
| leohartx | crashatau: now, i'm using pppoe connection | 04:41 |
| Devin | on a dell lapop* | 04:41 |
| crashatau | Ohmu: du -ksh /<foldername> | sort -k 1 (I think) | 04:42 |
| Nabi | do can help me to install http://regexxer.sourceforge.net/ ? | 04:42 |
| leohartx | crashatau: it seem relative slower than wired conneciton | 04:42 |
| south_korea | Nabi = 나비(?) | 04:42 |
| Nabi | south_korea: what? | 04:42 |
| south_korea | nothing, i was currious about your id | 04:43 |
| L3Tum | can anyone help me with my right-click menu problem? | 04:43 |
| south_korea | Nabi in korean = butterFly | 04:43 |
| miles_ | can somebody help me with a software issue possibly | 04:43 |
| south_korea | post issues here | 04:43 |
| crashatau | leohartx: huh? What you talking about... sorry I'm helping a couple people. | 04:43 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why do I sometimes see little windows dropping down on the right side of my screen and disappearing before I can see what they are? Is there like a ... remote hack virus or something? | 04:44 |
| miles_ | first off is anyone at ALL familiar with secondlife? | 04:44 |
| aarcane | hai, I haz issuez with atheros. | 04:44 |
| south_korea | little windows dropping down on where (?) | 04:44 |
| leohartx | crashatau: i see, you can scroll up to see what im talking about | 04:44 |
| aarcane | I haz atheros AR242X | 04:44 |
| KillerOrca | there should be an lolcat command for ubottu | 04:44 |
| miles_ | im guessing no experience with secondlife here | 04:45 |
| crashatau | leohartx: Ah ok with you now. | 04:45 |
| KillerOrca | miles_ me, no | 04:45 |
| miles_ | anyway ultimately i need to get sl's voice program working i found directions online | 04:45 |
| miles_ | but there's 2 problems | 04:45 |
| Randall1 | KillerOrca: sorry for the late post but it is indeed a Nvidia Geforce4: Mx 420 | 04:45 |
| south_korea | i know halfLife, no secondLife | 04:46 |
| pinkey | under 8.10, I'd like to configure a VPN session under the Network Manager / Network Connections applet, but the "Add" button is grayed out. Any ideas why? | 04:46 |
| miles_ | lol | 04:46 |
| leohartx | crashatau: so, how do i ? | 04:46 |
| xolotl_ | aath | 04:46 |
| kevin_ | how do i delete the ubuntu partition off my harddisk and use that partitioni (append it) to my current windows partition | 04:46 |
| Ohmu | crashatau, isn't that only going to sort one value? Woudln't I need to do 'ls -something .' to get all folders in the pwd, then pipe it into du -ksh x then pipe that into sort? | 04:47 |
| KillerOrca | Randall1 np, the release notes mention an issue with nvidia http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 04:47 |
| south_korea | use fdisk @kevin | 04:47 |
| miles_ | if anyone can try to help here's the directions, http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392499/ i am also posting the 2 areas i have problems in,,,,,, 1st3. Download libopenal.so.1 from here: | 04:47 |
| miles_ | http://www.2shared.com/file/3848611/acf6549d/libopenalso.html | 04:47 |
| miles_ | the link this gives, doesnt exist, 2nd 4. Replace the lib and make it executable | 04:47 |
| miles_ | Put the libopenal.so.1 in the SL program folder | 04:47 |
| FloodBot1 | miles_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:47 |
| pinkey | Ohmu, du -k . | sort -rn | 04:47 |
| miles_ | Replace the old lib and make the new one executable. | 04:47 |
| Randall1 | KillerOrca: well recently i think the driver just came out and is showing up in hardware drivers now but doesn't install properly | 04:47 |
| crtoe | wow | 04:48 |
| miles_ | ban on me? | 04:48 |
| crtoe | floodbot is overly anal considering how much crap gets flooded on here by people abusing ubottu | 04:48 |
| pinkey | Ohmu, I meant, du -k your-directory | sort -rn | 04:48 |
| south_korea | kevin_, did you get answer ? | 04:48 |
| miles_ | anyway does anyone think they can help? | 04:48 |
| qrush | Alright, I'm really getting sick of this problem with Ubuntu. Every so often applications will utterly REFUSE to start. Firefox won't come up, not even gnome-terminal | 04:49 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, no | 04:49 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, :( | 04:49 |
| qrush | Is there anything short of a reboot that can fix this? | 04:49 |
| miles_ | cant even get TERMINAL up? | 04:49 |
| miles_ | ouch | 04:49 |
| miles_ | whats your specs? | 04:49 |
| south_korea | kevin_, sorry, when i want to change my partition right ? | 04:49 |
| miles_ | qrush that is | 04:49 |
| qrush | It comes up, fades out, and i have to force quit it | 04:49 |
| south_korea | kevin_, sorry, i use fdisk | 04:49 |
| midifreak | a logout will probably fix it qrush but better to find out why | 04:50 |
| south_korea | kevin_, sorry, do you know how to use it ? | 04:50 |
| miles_ | qrush, whats your comp specs? | 04:50 |
| qrush | miles_, newish dell m1330 laptop....2 gigs of ram, decent proc | 04:50 |
| aarcane | anyone? atheros ? | 04:50 |
| south_korea | kevin_, sorry, it's simple but you need to backup your important data from the hard drive first | 04:50 |
| miles_ | its a dell | 04:50 |
| miles_ | thats the problem | 04:50 |
| miles_ | no lol | 04:50 |
| miles_ | umm yeah ultimately its not a hardware issue | 04:50 |
| qrush | miles_, i don't need bullshit right now man | 04:50 |
| miles_ | so just logout | 04:50 |
| miles_ | it will end everything | 04:50 |
| south_korea | kevin_, are you there ? | 04:50 |
| miles_ | then log back in | 04:50 |
| miles_ | thas the simplest answer | 04:50 |
| south_korea | kevin_, did you see what i said here (?) | 04:51 |
| midifreak | qrush you could try alt-f1, log in and type top to see what if anything is taking resources | 04:51 |
| qrush | Yeah, but this seriously happens at least once a day | 04:51 |
| qrush | midifreak, I have, and nothing is. | 04:51 |
| temppy | qrush: are you on hardy or intrepid? | 04:51 |
| miles_ | i get it about once every 3 hours | 04:51 |
| Ohmu | pinkey, thx, but thats not doing what I'm after. If /x/ has 2 folders, /x/a and /x/b, I'd want to do 'mycmd /x' and output 2 values: the total bytes contained in /x/a and /x/b | 04:51 |
| midifreak | qrush: if you have disk io going on I have seen this hang FF for example | 04:51 |
| miles_ | but i run wine a lot | 04:51 |
| qrush | temppy, hardy | 04:51 |
| FightBack | hmmm... so I just installed the nVidia 177 proprietary drivers, and then after that, restarted, and the computer hung at "Sarting bluetooth" (i don't have bluetooth anything in my machine), and then after restarting the computer it always goes to a command line | 04:51 |
| FightBack | what should I do? | 04:52 |
| south_korea | miles_, try vmware instead of wine, | 04:52 |
| qrush | Hmm, killing compiz just made things worse | 04:52 |
| south_korea | miles_, wine don't work on my system | 04:52 |
| midifreak | you could try hitting esc at grub and trying recovery FightBack | 04:52 |
| south_korea | miles_, i mean property | 04:52 |
| miles_ | south_korea, i have no trouble with wine personally, what is vmware? | 04:52 |
| qrush | Perhaps I'll update to Intrepid this weekend and pray that it fixes these stupid problems | 04:52 |
| HorizonXP | hey n8tuser, if I pastebin my script to set up my iptables, could you tell me why it's not working? | 04:52 |
| dewente | FTP i be able to connect to, by the browser but i can't using a client | 04:52 |
| FightBack | well i need that driver to work though | 04:53 |
| miles_ | fightback, what nvidia card do you have | 04:53 |
| FightBack | nVidia Geforce 9800 GX2 | 04:53 |
| south_korea | miles_, vmware is ..... hard to explain but you can install ms-windows on it | 04:53 |
| HorizonXP | !pastebin | 04:53 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 04:53 |
| FightBack | XFX | 04:53 |
| midifreak | !vmware | 04:53 |
| FightBack | XFX Gefore 9800 GX2 | 04:53 |
| ubottu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 04:53 |
| crashatau | FightBack: Have a look in /etc/X11/ and see if you have the xorg.conf backup | 04:53 |
| miles_ | those drivers shouldnt be that much different than my 5200 fx | 04:53 |
| miles_ | how did you install them | 04:53 |
| pinkey | Ohmu, Ok, try this: du -ks directory/* | sort -rn | 04:53 |
| w33d5 | can someone explain what i am doing wrong? /code/ find . -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec mv {} /shared/Photos/ + /end code/ | 04:54 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, yea sorry about that -- had to step away | 04:54 |
| south_korea | download package from vmware web site | 04:54 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> it may take me a while to figure it out, perhaps you can also include in it your network layout to easily visualize your setup | 04:54 |
| w33d5 | i am getting the error find: missing argument to `-exec' | 04:54 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, and no, i've never used fdisk | 04:54 |
| FightBack | with the proprietary driver manager | 04:54 |
| dewente | FTP SERVER problems... i can getting onto by browser but don't with client | 04:54 |
| crashatau | FightBack: copy it over the xorg.conf the nvidia installer made and you should be ok. | 04:54 |
| atarinox | Hi, I just installed 8.10 and text in FF, terminals, etc seems to be blurry in random points on the screen. Anyone else experience this? | 04:54 |
| dewente | Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead | 04:54 |
| midifreak | find . -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec mv {} /shared/Photos/ \; | 04:54 |
| medc | anyone know how to run a .run file? | 04:54 |
| crashatau | FightBack: oh right. | 04:54 |
| south_korea | kevin_, it's simple, all you need to do is boot up with sefe mode | 04:54 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: sure thing n8tuser, i appreciate it :) | 04:54 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, safe mode- in ubuntu? | 04:54 |
| miles_ | nobody has any help at all for my issue eh | 04:55 |
| w33d5 | it worked when i used cp but not mv | 04:55 |
| pinkey | w33d5, did you terminate the exec with \; | 04:55 |
| w33d5 | the + that is | 04:55 |
| south_korea | kevin_, no no i meant... recovery mode or just ubuntu | 04:55 |
| FightBack | hmm... well, copying that file will get me back in... but it's not going to make my video drivers work | 04:55 |
| FightBack | lol | 04:55 |
| FightBack | no one has ever heard of this hanging at "starting bluetooth" thing? | 04:55 |
| south_korea | kevin_, sudo fdisk /dev/[yourDisk] | 04:55 |
| crashatau | FightBack: Agreed. Why not try the nvidia binary drivers from nvidia's site? | 04:55 |
| miles_ | no | 04:55 |
| Randall1 | KillerOrca: happen to know how to uninstall old versions of graphics drivers | 04:55 |
| miles_ | that honestly sounds more like a soundcard issue to me | 04:55 |
| KillerOrca | miles_ sorry, not a second lifer | 04:55 |
| south_korea | kevin_, i think that easyist way is use google | 04:56 |
| miles_ | ive never seen a video card with bluetooth | 04:56 |
| south_korea | kevin_, find out how to use fdisk | 04:56 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, will do thanks | 04:56 |
| south_korea | kevin_, try now, but dont save it | 04:56 |
| FightBack | yeah it'll try that crashatau.. thank man | 04:56 |
| midifreak | FightBack: you may need to google, but a hint is if it hangs, usually it hangs loading the module, so bluetooth would be the last successfully loaded one, it could be another that is problem | 04:56 |
| kevin_ | south_korea, i'll not use it unless i understand what it does entierly | 04:56 |
| === Pomiel is now known as DCPom | ||
| south_korea | kevin_, as long as you dont save, after modified some flags in fdisk, you r safe | 04:56 |
| KillerOrca | Randall1 no, but if your card isn't one of the ones listed in the release notes, then I think a fresh install would e a good approach | 04:56 |
| miles_ | killerorca, you really wouldnt have to be, i just need a location of one file and interpretation of part 4 of the directions | 04:56 |
| crashatau | FightBack: Maybe disable bluetooth service and reboot. In the redhat work I'd use chkconfig --level 345 bluetooth off, No idea what you do in debian though. | 04:56 |
| miles_ | something about make a lib an executable | 04:57 |
| crashatau | FightBack: work = world | 04:57 |
| gaelfx | if I want to put my /home on another directory during a fresh install, so I just create a partition with mount point /home and then the main partition with mount point of / ? | 04:57 |
| dewente | why not can i log on into ftp server using ftp client | 04:57 |
| dewente | ? | 04:57 |
| south_korea | kevin, most important thing is, you need to backup your important data | 04:57 |
| KillerOrca | miles_ give me a link and i'll take a looksee | 04:57 |
| miles_ | yup | 04:57 |
| gaelfx | *on another partition | 04:57 |
| FightBack | yeah i don't know the command in ubuntu to get to services either... | 04:57 |
| midifreak | gaelfx: yes | 04:57 |
| temppy | gaelfx: yeah | 04:57 |
| Randall1 | KillerOrca: by fresh install you mean with LiveCD of intrepid right | 04:57 |
| FightBack | i'm nactually still pretty new to the linux world | 04:57 |
| south_korea | kevin, before apply the change, i mean before use the fdisk | 04:57 |
| midifreak | miles_: i don't see your question... | 04:58 |
| south_korea | kevin_, you don't really have to afraid to use it 'cause i ran that program thousand of times | 04:58 |
| gaelfx | slickness, so will that keep most of my configurations for programs consistent, or do I still need to reconfigure if I reinstall? | 04:58 |
| Ohmu | pinkey: magic! thx | 04:58 |
| KillerOrca | Randall1 yes; if the card worked before and 7.10 and on has been no good and if it is not one of the ecveptions in the link I gave you; also backup your files | 04:58 |
| sputnick | hi there | 04:58 |
| midifreak | gaelfx: yes you can reinstall and if you don't format /home you will keep settings for users | 04:59 |
| crashatau | FightBack: try apt-get install chkconfig | 04:59 |
| sputnick | what that command display for you ? "find /usr/bin/X11/ | wc -l" | 04:59 |
| gaelfx | midifreak: thanks man, just needed a little encouragement :D | 04:59 |
| south_korea | kevin_, you need to change the name of partition to let windows recognize your disk | 04:59 |
| midifreak | np | 04:59 |
| FightBack | what will that get me chatatau? | 04:59 |
| crashatau | FightBack: then chkconfig --level 345 bluetooth off | 04:59 |
| FightBack | oooh | 04:59 |
| south_korea | kevin_, with fdisk, ok then, good lock | 04:59 |
| crashatau | FightBack: The Bluetooth is disabled at boot, if that is the problem :p | 05:00 |
| midifreak | crashatau: FightBack update-rc.d is like chkconfig | 05:00 |
| FightBack | ok, i'll give this a whirl | 05:00 |
| south_korea | :P | 05:00 |
| FightBack | thanks everyone for the help | 05:00 |
| miles_ | midifreak, it was issues with these instructions http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392499/ 1st with the url in step three, 2nd it says change lib to executable which doesnt make sense | 05:00 |
| pinkey | Did Ibex address the frequent laptop HD parking issue that people had before? | 05:00 |
| crashatau | midifreak: thanks. I'm not all that big on debian / ubuntu stuff yet. Too much Redhat :p | 05:00 |
| south_korea | :P | 05:01 |
| crashatau | FightBack: np | 05:01 |
| miles_ | fightback, lemme know if that works, i plan to upgrade | 05:01 |
| midifreak | miles_: he means do 'chmod +x /path/to/folder/SecondLife_i686_VERSION/lib/libopenal.so.1' | 05:01 |
| temppy | pinkey: I think that was a linux problem | 05:01 |
| Randall1 | so my x-server restarts randomly and i was wondering if there was a way to figure out what is going on? | 05:02 |
| miles_ | what is that command for? | 05:02 |
| dewente | the best server for FTP ? | 05:02 |
| midifreak | miles_: makes it executable, but i doubt it is even necessary, he may mean make it owned by your user, or readable... does it not work? | 05:02 |
| edlv | how do i install a package i downloaded? it has the extension .tar.gz | 05:02 |
| midifreak | dewente: pure-ftpd or vsftpd are popular, but you can use ssh and sftp which is more secure | 05:03 |
| miles_ | midi first i have to figure oout how to get the file | 05:03 |
| Randall1 | also i need an opinion on some good DVD players other than totem | 05:03 |
| edlv | Randall1: mplayer is good. | 05:03 |
| jamesrobinson54 | hello people ne 1 in north carolina | 05:04 |
| dewente | midifreak, ssh and sftp .. how is that ? | 05:04 |
| Makuseru | Does anyone know of anyprograms in Ubuntu that will let me hardsub a video file? | 05:04 |
| HorizonXP1 | n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70312/ | 05:04 |
| === HorizonXP is now known as Guest44085 | ||
| jamesrobinson54 | welllll | 05:04 |
| midifreak | miles_: the link is broken... not much to do, I googled... the package in ubuntu is openal, so try installing that... | 05:05 |

| Randall1 | midifreak: what is the command to get VLC? | 05:06 |
| KillerOrca | miles_ for the logfiles: the chmod +x "filename" is what you want to do | 05:06 |
| dewente | midifreak, ok | 05:06 |
| midifreak | HorizonXP: cinelerra maybe, I am sure tehre are better, maybe avisynth | 05:06 |
| miles_ | midifreak, can i get openal with synaptic? | 05:06 |
| HorizonXP | jamesrobinson54: i'm using Windows ME | 05:06 |
| midifreak | Randall1: applications>add/remove - type vlc in search box | 05:06 |
| dewente | midifreak, now i have vsftp | 05:06 |
| HorizonXP | jamesrobinson54: :P | 05:06 |
| mttr | question "is there a way to limit the mounted drive shown with diskmounter ie only the usb drives" | 05:06 |
| midifreak | miles_: go check :) | 05:07 |
| jamesrobinson54 | k | 05:07 |
| Randall1 | my x-server randomly restarts is there anyway to figure out what is wrong | 05:07 |
| dewente | midifreak, i got a problem... i can log in by browser but i can not with ftp client | 05:07 |
| jamesrobinson54 | i really like ubuntu | 05:07 |
| midifreak | mttr: yes, but it is not easy, it is in gconf-editor i think | 05:07 |
| midifreak | dewente: check server logs | 05:07 |
| miles_ | midifreak, sorry admitted noob,,, umm what. so like chmod +x openal.so.1? | 05:08 |
| mttr | oh .. i didn't think of that ..will check on it thanks midifreak | 05:08 |
| midifreak | Randall1: there is /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:08 |
| KillerOrca | miles_ you need the path to the file, whereever it is located | 05:08 |
| dewente | midifreak, tell me the route for get it. please | 05:08 |
| midifreak | dewente: it should be in /var/log | 05:08 |
| dewente | ok | 05:09 |
| Randall1 | midifreak: what is the cmd to just view that file? | 05:09 |
| midifreak | miles_: you should not need to do that, open synaptic, search for openal, install it, then try to run your program | 05:09 |
| dewente | midifreak, vi /var/log is empty | 05:09 |
| midifreak | Randall1: you could do 'gksudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | 05:09 |
| miles_ | midifreak, ok thank you, so much simpler,, i avoid commadns if i can | 05:10 |
| midifreak | dewente: it is called vsftpd something, I don't know off top of head, do ls /var/log | 05:10 |

| midifreak | check in #ubuntu-offtopic jamesrobinson54 | 05:12 |
| miles_ | midifreak, i have libopenal1 installed is that what i should need? | 05:12 |
| dewente | midifreak, vi sudo /var/log/vsftpd.log | 05:12 |
| dewente | empty | 05:12 |
| midifreak | miles_: i think so | 05:13 |
| miles_ | midifreak so now i should just have to maybe do the funny 'chmod +x /path/to/folder/SecondLife_i686_VERSION/lib/libopenal.so.1' thing? | 05:14 |
| miles_ | which would be for me i believe 'chmod +x /home/SecondLife_i686_VERSION/lib/libopenal.so.1' | 05:14 |
| midifreak | miles_: actually it is step 1 i think sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins , so it means he may want you to install some tweaked package, in which case you need to contact him and find out what it is | 05:14 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> are those rules working for you? | 05:14 |
| dewente | midifreak, this the status of the client : Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead. | 05:14 |

| dewente | ok | 05:15 |
| midifreak | Randall1: in vlc? | 05:15 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: as far as I can tell, no | 05:15 |

| ybeddyj | i set my ubuntu to suspend to ram now i keep getting this error "ipw2200: device failed to boot initial fw image" | 05:15 |

| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> can you follow that tutorial i gave you a link to..his step by step process works | 05:17 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: I did follow it, that's where I got the rules.... | 05:17 |
| midifreak | ybeddyj: you need to reboot probably | 05:17 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> i also asked you to elaborate your network layout, | 05:17 |
| ybeddyj | i did so many times | 05:17 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: i thought I did in the comments? | 05:18 |

| {^KinG^} | any can help me , i have a problem with audio now dont work i use 8.10 | 05:20 |

| light | so do you have any questions? | 05:21 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> cant really hand hold you on this, if you follow the steps the did, one step at a time to get thing working, that maybe a start..i can not tutor you in iptables | 05:21 |
| light | who is miles/ | 05:21 |
| midifreak | but there is a working linux version of secondlife, no? | 05:21 |
| LF|Irssi | there is | 05:21 |
| booksbuggy | okey | 05:21 |
| booksbuggy | but i have been waiting for about 6 hours already | 05:21 |
| miles_ | midifreak, is there a way i can search my comp to see if openal.so.1 is there? | 05:21 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> there is #iptable or #networking channel to get assistance specific to iptables | 05:21 |
| Diablo | one thing I never been able to do on ubunto is to install a printer :-) | 05:21 |
| LF|Irssi | Ubuntu* | 05:22 |
| miles_ | sorry i is n8b | 05:22 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: i'm not asking you to hand hold me though. i followed that tutorial you sent, which was very helpful in explaining iptables. i did exactly everything it asked, i was hoping you could help diagnose why it didn't work for me | 05:22 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: it is going to be in your printing prefs | 05:22 |
| midifreak | miles_: what exactly are you trying to do | 05:22 |
| booksbuggy | can well it installed itself when i plugged it in | 05:22 |
| Diablo | lol | 05:22 |
| miles_ | midifreak: make it work? | 05:22 |
| booksbuggy | well i tried the administration already | 05:23 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: i'm sorry you misunderstood what i was looking for. thanks for your help tho :) | 05:23 |
| booksbuggy | didn't show | 05:23 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> break it down into phases | 05:23 |
| booksbuggy | so did the CUP system | 05:23 |

| south_korea | ** suggest me the best engilsh dictionary in ubuntu(console,and gnome both), and please tell me the package name too :P | 05:23 |

| midifreak | miles_: you should just be able to install it and run it, I did it years ago... | 05:23 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: what about system>admin>printing | 05:24 |
| miles_ | midifreak: would i possibly have to run slvoice seperately? | 05:24 |
| booksbuggy | did that | 05:24 |
| booksbuggy | it didn't show grayscale anywhere | 05:24 |
| miles_ | on windows it ran auto when i ran sl | 05:24 |
| booksbuggy | been trying for the past week | 05:24 |
| n8tuser | paul68-> it can handle different subnets, but you have to be clever to do such... http://www.linuxexposed.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=107 | 05:24 |

| miles_ | just voice | 05:25 |

| midifreak | HorizonXP: i have missed alot of convo, but maybe check out http://www.mista.nu/iptables/ and I use firehol (ubuntu app) to make some fws | 05:28 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> here.. this isn't an iptables script. it's just a script i'm running from my laptop while i ssh into the server. | 05:28 |
| booksbuggy | if on the bottom right corner there is a S with a stop sign on it then you might need to enable the cookie with it to do the reply | 05:28 |

| n8tuser | rdw200169_-> can you assist HorizonXP and paul68 ? am kind tied up with my kid, asking me about homework..so i cant focus | 05:29 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: as in, it's a script that i run on the server, but i'm accessing the server via SSH from my laptop, so I can sit in my room and do this, versus running downstairs to the basement to access the server directly. I hope that was clear... | 05:29 |
| booksbuggy | how do i set the printing default do gray scale: system-admin- printing and CUP doesn't work | 05:29 |
| midifreak | miles_: on that wiki page i sent you it says pulseaudio | 05:29 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: i'm taking over for n8tuser... | 05:29 |
| Ohmu | midifreak, it isn't listed. I think it's because it starts with a '.' | 05:30 |
| miles_ | midifreak: also how do i know if im using pulseaudio? | 05:30 |
| n8tuser | HorizonXP-> okay, but for one line 9 and line 43 should not be there | 05:30 |
| n8tuser | rdw200169_-> thanks ..take it away | 05:30 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: thanks, i appreciate it | 05:30 |

| windfield | how do i fix grub error 25? | 05:32 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: before messing with iptables, which just does firewalling, it' | 05:32 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: i'm not trying to route subnets. all i'm doing is trying to set up a router for my home network. i'm having trouble with the iptables | 05:32 |
| LF|Irssi | midifreak: i already got a LAMP server going in Ubuntu Server :) | 05:32 |
| miles_ | midifreak: so everything needs to be set to pulseaudio? | 05:32 |
| midifreak | !grub | windfield | 05:32 |
| nirupama | especially the dhcpdiscover time | 05:32 |
| ubottu | windfield: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:32 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: ah, i see | 05:32 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: you're using NAT? | 05:33 |
| nirupama | when it tries to take the ip it takes lot of time | 05:33 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: or do you have a pool of static IP's? | 05:33 |
| midifreak | nirupama: you could set a static IP | 05:33 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: it's working right now (that's how I'm talking to you.) but it's using ipmasq, which I'd like to avoid. yes, i'm using NAT. | 05:33 |
| booksbuggy | anyone? | 05:33 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: what is ipmasq? do you have a link? | 05:34 |
| budz0r | booksbuggy, i'm next :P | 05:34 |

| vicmanfregues | hola | 05:34 |
| Shells | irc.dynashell.org | 05:34 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: ah, i see, it's just a firewall script | 05:34 |
| booksbuggy | budz0r: how long have you been waiting? | 05:34 |
| miles_ | midifreak: also one last thing, under mixer it only has oss and alsa options, should that be ok? | 05:34 |
| LF|Irssi | LoveGuru: im not familiar with GUEST OS's using LAMP sorry | 05:34 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: you mean ipmasq? | 05:34 |
| budz0r | booksbuggy, not that long... just being silly - i'm hoping they can help me tho | 05:34 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: well, in iptables, it's really easy to setup NAT, i prefer MASQUERADE | 05:35 |
| booksbuggy | budz0r: i have been waiting for about 6 hours already | 05:35 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: it appears that maybe your driver does not support it, have you looked in http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DatabaseIntro | 05:35 |
| LoveGuru | LF|Irssi: well thanks but if you have any gud tutorial for newuser could you please gave it to me? i will check it? | 05:35 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: hold on, i'm gonna get you a link that describes it... | 05:35 |
| midifreak | miles_: i am no expert in voice in SL, you should try it and see ;) | 05:35 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: right. so that's what I thought I was doing with this bash script. http://paste.ubuntu.com/70312/ | 05:35 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: so i should reinstall the driver? | 05:35 |
| LF|Irssi | LoveGuru: the only thing I'd suggest is search Google for "LAMP + Vmware" Or something like that | 05:36 |
| vicmanfregues | hola | 05:36 |
| vicmanfregues | como estan | 05:36 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: does the driver support it? | 05:36 |
| miles_ | midifreak: ok well thank you, at least i learned something. i'll make sure to post on an official forum if it works | 05:36 |
| vicmanfregues | hablan en españlol? | 05:36 |
| LoveGuru | LF|Irssi: thanks | 05:36 |
| booksbuggy | i don't know | 05:36 |

| booksbuggy | but it won't let me change to gray scale | 05:36 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: the rules before the sleep 30 command are the iptables rules i'm trying to test to see if they work. but they don't. only the rules after the sleep 30 command work. and only if I install ipmasq, which just seems to put in a crapload of iptable rules to open up my network | 05:36 |
| vicmanfregues | whats your name? | 05:36 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//NAT-HOWTO.html | 05:36 |
| vicmanfregues | what is your name? | 05:36 |
| budz0r | can someone take a look at my logs and try and figure out why my box is freezing on occasion? | 05:36 |
| Xacarith | User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by others. I get this message every time I try and log in | 05:37 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: yeah, i'm positive that that's all that it does | 05:37 |
| midifreak | LoveGuru: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html | 05:37 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: even though i haven't inspected it | 05:37 |

| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: trust me, it's a mess | 05:37 |
| midifreak | budz0r: paste 'em | 05:37 |
| LoveGuru | midifreak: no i didn't but sure i will check it. thanks :) | 05:37 |
| budz0r | midifreak, ok | 05:37 |
| e-frame | hi, how to schedule delay pool in squid.conf? | 05:37 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: i'm just trying to figure out why my iptable rules don't work. they should be. http://paste.ubuntu.com/70312/ | 05:37 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: you can read all about it at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DatabaseIntro - search for your printer | 05:37 |
| dotzzz | hi i have 3 tv cards.. all /dev/video0 video1 video2 are working.. but the sounds are not working.. there are no /dev/dsp0 .. only /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1 and dsp2...why is that so? can anyone help | 05:37 |
| booksbuggy | okay | 05:37 |
| budz0r | midifreak, which log would be best to paste - kernel? | 05:38 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: thank you for using my sn, it makes your messages easier to catch in XChat ;) | 05:38 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: yah, i'm reading now, gimme a few secs | 05:38 |
| midifreak | budz0r: you are saying your desktop freezes, or you lose network? | 05:38 |
| Daeshim | irc.dynashell.org | 05:38 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: i was trying to before, but I missed the underscore before | 05:38 |
| Daeshim | Free shells ^^ | 05:38 |
| Peddy | oh no, I just went to my desktop and did rm *.zip but I put a space between the * and . :/ | 05:38 |
| vegombrei | didnt someone post a fix for browsing hotmail ? like open about.config and remove ubuntu from somewhere there ?? please tell me exactly how to do that | 05:38 |
| Shells | irc.dynashell.org free shells | 05:39 |
| budz0r | midifreak, the whole machine freezes - can't even ssh in. | 05:39 |
| ybeddyj | i set my ubuntu to suspend to ram now i keep getting this error "ipw2200: device failed to boot initial fw image" | 05:39 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: ok, i have a few points to make | 05:39 |
| midifreak | budz0r: guess /var/log/syslog | 05:39 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: well it says perfect compatibility | 05:39 |
| budz0r | midifreak, but it didnt do it until i started using my wired nic instead of the wireless | 05:39 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: ok, i'm listening :) | 05:39 |
| Ohmu | du ./* fails to see ./.VirtualBox/ folder, or any other ones starting with '.'. How to make it see them? I've scoured the man page! | 05:39 |
| booksbuggy | but i still can't change my color control | 05:39 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: 1. it's a bad idea to uninstall, then re-install, via apt-get, in the way you're doing it; there are better ways! | 05:39 |
| midifreak | Ohmu: did you try -a | 05:40 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: point 2. iptables, using iptables-save, and iptables-restore, makes it really easy to track configurationsj | 05:40 |
| Xacarith | I guess no one knows how to get rid of that. | 05:40 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: what is url to your printer on that site | 05:40 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: it's a proof of concept sort of thing.... on the command line, get the firewall running the way you want, by testing all the commands, and using iptables -L to see if it looks the way you want | 05:40 |
| Ohmu | midifreak, yeah, no luck. seems that option is to show files, not folders | 05:41 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_960C | 05:41 |
| nibsa1242 | just installed ibex, can't hibernate claims no memory how to fix? | 05:41 |
| ronhalfdanr | OK, got VMware installed, running with XP pro in a nice little box, got it connected to the net enough to activate XP...............next trick I need help with...............getting it so I can access my data drives | 05:41 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: then, once all the rules you want are in there, in the order they should be in, you run iptables-save > file to get a hardcopy | 05:41 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: how do i check the driver i am using? | 05:41 |
| booksbuggy | i am guessing it is the wrong one | 05:41 |
| midifreak | Xacarith: try sudo chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser/.dmrc - this is a common error, i googled it last time i saw it | 05:41 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: you can make changes in the saved file, if you need to change something minor, or add rules, once you figure out the format | 05:42 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: so, if you run ipmasq, while it's running, run iptables-save, to get a copy of the firewall it installed from the configuration | 05:42 |
| e-frame | hi, how to schedule delay pool in squid.conf? | 05:42 |
| m0niker | ipw2200 == wireless card for laptop | 05:42 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: then you don't need ipmasq anymore! just run iptables-restore filename to get back the firewall | 05:42 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: done, saved that as workingrules in my home dir | 05:42 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: it's a lot easier to keep track of than little errors in a bash script | 05:43 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I have this layout isp => router => server with 2 nics => wired/wireless switch and a last ap connected to the first switch also wifi this is the script that I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/69892/ | 05:43 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: driver info would be in system>prefs>printing, try removing and re-adding printer.. I don't have one hooked up so I can't go check for you | 05:43 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: so, what you can do is merge the rules you want to add with the rules provided by ipmasq to get what you want | 05:43 |
| BenFranske | Can anyone tell me if the asterisk package is broken in Intrepid? I get asterisk: Depends: libct3 (>= 0.63-1) but it is not installable | 05:43 |
| booksbuggy | oh | 05:44 |
| Xacarith | Mindfreak Ok, I'll try it Likely be back soon | 05:44 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169: that makes sense to me. i'm looking at the *nat lines, and i can already see differences | 05:44 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: so should i remove the current one and try to add another? | 05:44 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: before i go further, you're going to stop using ipmasq? | 05:44 |
| nibsa1242 | just installed ibex, can't hibernate claims no memory how to fix? | 05:44 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: yes, i'd like to get rid of it | 05:44 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: thats what I would do, or right click existing one for prefs? | 05:44 |
| windfield | how do i fix grub error 25 | 05:44 |
| budz0r | midifreak, Nov 10 07:10:12 rpetty-dell kernel: [ 49.645587] NET: Registered protocol family 17 | 05:45 |
| budz0r | Nov 10 07:10:24 rpetty-dell kernel: [ 63.125744] eth0: no IPv6 routers present | 05:45 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: alright, good, keep in mind that the saved firewall has the rule for NAT that you need | 05:45 |
| nirupama | midifreak, in my organisation it is dhcp | 05:45 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: well the existing one is definitely not going to let me change to grayscale | 05:45 |
| nirupama | so how can i put static ip | 05:45 |
| budz0r | midifreak, thats the last thing in kern.log | 05:45 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: so i guess i am going to add a new one | 05:45 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: should be under postrouting at the top | 05:45 |
| budz0r | couldnt find anything in syslog when it froze | 05:45 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: right. but why the difference? what was wrong with my NAT rule? | 05:45 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I have the following questions where can I limit access to a range of ips to make sure that they can only surf on the net and get mail without being able to do anything else | 05:45 |
| pepe_swash | Hello. I have a live persistent 8.10 on an usb thumbdrive. Any idea on how i can move /home to an other partition (on an other device)? | 05:45 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE is the rule from ipmasq | 05:46 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: hold on, let me read it again ;) | 05:46 |
| midifreak | budz0r: i would look in launchpad for bugs relating to your NIC hardware, which you can see with lspci | 05:46 |
| ronhalfdanr | any VMware folks in here tonight? | 05:46 |
| budz0r | midifreak, thanks | 05:46 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: oh, it has to be in the mangle table | 05:46 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: secondly do a port forwarding since my isp blocked everything under 1024 to enable ssh from outside the network | 05:46 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: should i download the pdd file manually and or just let the install get it from internet? | 05:46 |
| midifreak | pepe_swash: mount the other partition, then cp -Rv would work, you could use grsync for GUI tool | 05:47 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: no wait, i meant the nat tabel | 05:47 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: example ssh myname@mydomain -p22222 towards interieur port 22 | 05:47 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i'm haveing a hard time keeping up ;),,, msg me | 05:47 |
| midifreak | booksbuggy: it should install correctly hopefully but if not, try specifying the file | 05:47 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: ok, that's where ipmasq has the rule... mine isn't going there? | 05:47 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: ok | 05:47 |
| booksbuggy | okay | 05:47 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: so -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE is the rule from ipmasq | 05:47 |
| nibsa1242 | just installed ibex, can't hibernate claims no memory how to fix? | 05:48 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: yes that's right | 05:48 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE is my version of that rule | 05:48 |
| joebodo | !hibernate | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate | 05:48 |
| BenFranske | Can anyone tell me if the asterisk package is broken in Intrepid? I get asterisk: Depends: libct3 (>= 0.63-1) but it is not installable | 05:48 |
| nibsa1242 | hibernate issue, can't hibernate not enough space... my swap is 4x the size of my ram, don't understand why its complaining | 05:49 |
| pepe_swash | midifreak: yes, i did that already but on reboot, /home in the casper partition is still used, not the copy. I tried mounting /home to other device in mtab, but that did not work either (no change) | 05:49 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: that's whats in your file? hold on, lemme check ;) | 05:49 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: well now they are asking which kind of driver i wantto install | 05:49 |
| booksbuggy | want to | 05:50 |
| windfield | how do i fix grub error 25 after i installed kubuntu 8.04? | 05:50 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: can you paste the copy of the running firewall? | 05:50 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: workingsomeithing that you metioned earlier from iptables-save | 05:51 |
| medc | i installed my graphic driver but it seemed my 3d accel is off | 05:51 |
| medc | how can i check it and its off how can i turn on | 05:51 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70317/ | 05:52 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: does the CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.0rc1 [en] support the CUP system? | 05:52 |
| booksbuggy | because the recommended one doesn't have CUPS on it | 05:52 |
| booksbuggy | oh what the heck | 05:52 |
| tyso1 | hey can someone tell me how to get the force quit application for the desktop? | 05:52 |
| booksbuggy | going to try everyone of them | 05:52 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: yah, that's pretty basic, that's what ipmasq does? | 05:53 |
| mr_polite | tyso1: killall <process name or id number> | 05:53 |
| mr_polite | tyso1: example killall gnome-panel | 05:53 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: yeah, apparently so | 05:53 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: thanks for the help | 05:54 |
| tyso1 | mr polite, isnt there an application called force quit that i can use as well? i had it once and now i dont know where to get it. | 05:54 |
| booksbuggy | now i can do the gray scale and not waste that much ink anymore | 05:54 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: just making sure, | 05:54 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: it's really basic | 05:54 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: it is, but it opens my network wide open | 05:55 |
| booksbuggy | midifreak: i think the problem was that the recommended driver didn't support CUPS system | 05:55 |
| mr_polite | tyso1: ive not heard of it, however force quit is a menu option in the system monitor | 05:55 |
| tyso1 | mr polite thanks | 05:55 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: you should just keep the masq rules from the nat table that ipmasq put in | 05:56 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: those are fine | 05:56 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: ok, sounds good. but still no idea why my rule for it wasn't equivalent? | 05:57 |
| VicTheHunter | Hello, I don't want to uninstall compiz, but how do I quit it from running during this desktop session? | 05:58 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: I'm not sure, unless the ppp0 interface was not available when the script runs | 05:58 |
| dragonmc | hey guys, i have a question. i installed ubuntu amd64 and for some reason it's reporting it sees only 5.6 gigs of the 8 gigs i have installed. funny thing is, i dual boot into vista 64 and it shows it sees all 8 gigs. what gives? | 05:58 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: yeah, i'm not sure.... ok, i'll just edit ipmasq's version. thanks :) | 05:58 |
| joebodo | VicTheHunter Preferences->Appearance->Effects | 05:59 |
| midifreak | dragonmc: make sure you have PAE on in bios | 05:59 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: well, i'm not sure if ipmasq also brings up the ppp0 interface | 05:59 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: no it doesn't, that i know for sure | 06:00 |
| midifreak | dragonmc: i have same amount, see it all | 06:00 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: can you run the same line, on your own, from the cmd line and get it to insert the rule? | 06:00 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: well, i guess you can't or internet goes down ;) | 06:00 |
| VicTheHunter | joebodo, I'm using KDE. Is Preferences>Appearance>Effects supposed to open Compiz Config Settings Manager? | 06:00 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: try it, it should just tack the rule on the end of the table, making it worthless | 06:00 |
| dragonmc | when i boot up i get a warning about IOMMU in the BIOS, but i read up on that and it shouldn't have any impact on the actual amound of ram available to the OS | 06:01 |
| darnell | anyone know of a http-tunnel client for ubuntu | 06:01 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: but dont' delete the first two for obvious reasons ;) | 06:01 |
| joebodo | VicTheHunter not sure - this is mostly gnome forum | 06:01 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| joebodo | !kubuntu | VicTheHunter | 06:01 |
| ubottu | VicTheHunter: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 06:01 |
| VicTheHunter | joebodo, Thanks, I'll check out that channel. | 06:01 |
| faryshta | Kubuntu? Is more unstable than a tower of paper. | 06:02 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: do you mean into my bash script? | 06:02 |
| ardchoille | faryshta: we don't need that here | 06:02 |
| faryshta | better try XFCE. | 06:02 |
| midifreak | darnell: ssh can do it, -D, but not sure what you mean by http tunnel client | 06:02 |
| faryshta | I am not starting a flame. Ok I will cut it oug. | 06:03 |
| faryshta | out* | 06:03 |
| === speener is now known as egoflux | ||
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: no, just on the command line | 06:03 |
| Antioch | Anyone know a repo with aptitude-gtk debs in it? | 06:03 |
| darnell | my IT admin at work restricts a whole lot of stuff. | 06:03 |
| darnell | even yahoo and msg messenger | 06:03 |
| darnell | http-tunnel is a program that let me slide by it.. | 06:03 |
| darnell | but ive found none for linux | 06:04 |
| james_ | test | 06:04 |
| KlinkMeister | I cant even use ubuntu at work | 06:04 |
| darnell | only windows | 06:04 |
| Kengine | is there anyway I can find out, how many people are connected to my wifi router ? | 06:04 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: i.e.: sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING-s 192.168.10.0/24 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE | 06:04 |
| KlinkMeister | the proxy wont let me connect | 06:04 |
| KlinkMeister | only with XP | 06:04 |
| midifreak | darnell: i don't know that program, but you can use openvpn, ssh, a bunch of tricks for this | 06:04 |
| joebodo | corkscrew creates ssh tunnels http through a proxy | 06:04 |
| faryshta | KlinkMeister, you can also configure the proxy on Ubuntu. | 06:04 |
| KlinkMeister | I tried that | 06:04 |
| joebodo | corkscrew *creates ssh tunnels through a http proxy | 06:04 |
| someotherperson2 | stuff | 06:05 |
| gavagai | I am getting artifacts/tearing when i watch video. i have an nvidia card. this is a laptop and i have the right resolution. the proprietary driver that the system prompts me for is installed. what should i do? | 06:05 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: ok, let me try | 06:05 |
| midifreak | ah http proxy sorry i am tired darnell | 06:05 |
| faryshta | What don't allow you? The browser? | 06:05 |
| KlinkMeister | i setup the proxy with all the same settings yet doesnt work except for the intranet | 06:05 |
| AkariChan | gavagai: which video player are you using | 06:05 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: well, if you're not running a webserver, you can just have ssh listen on port 80 | 06:05 |
| faryshta | you can configure your browser to call himself IE7 and windows xp. | 06:05 |
| KlinkMeister | I didnt know that | 06:05 |
| joebodo | rdw200169_ doesnt work on most corp proxies | 06:05 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: and just specify, on the command line when accessing it, ssh user@IP:80 | 06:05 |
| absion | hey, quick question. Is there a way to add more desktops to Intrepid Ibex or 2 is max? | 06:05 |
| midifreak | gavagai: try switching video output, you can use vlc or mplayer and do this in prefs | 06:05 |
| darnell | u have an idea? | 06:06 |
| faryshta | KlinkMeister, let me find it on internet and I will send it by personal message. | 06:06 |
| darnell | what is the equiv to that for linux | 06:06 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: or you can run something dirty like a ping tunnel | 06:06 |
| AkariChan | absion: right click your desktops and add on the tray | 06:06 |
| joebodo | rdw200169_ ive been on some of the most severely locked down networks | 06:06 |
| KlinkMeister | Thanks! | 06:06 |
| gavagai | i am using VLC | 06:06 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: as have i... | 06:06 |
| gavagai | i will try mplayer | 06:06 |
| joebodo | rdw200169_ corkscrew usually works if everything else fails | 06:07 |
| mr_polite | absion: if you dont have it add the desktop switcher app to your gnome panel and access its preferences. from there you can adjuest the number of desktops you want. once youve set the preference you can remove the tool from your panel | 06:07 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: i'll have to check it out | 06:07 |
| darnell | midifreak: i tried running it with wine, doesnt load | 06:08 |
| absion | thanks. How do I add the swicther app? | 06:08 |
| hubar | How do you get man pages to show color in intrepid? | 06:08 |
| darnell | think it use to with older versions of ubuntu but not intrepid | 06:08 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: well, seeing that corkscrew just redirects tcp traffic over 80, i think just making a ssh server listen on 80 would do it, since ssh runs on tcp | 06:08 |
| gavagai | i am getting the same thing in mplayer. sometimes there are lines on top, like it isn't synced | 06:08 |
| joebodo | rdw200169_ it doesnt on some corp proxies | 06:08 |
| dragonmc | wait...i'm going by the amount reported in the resource monitor. is the RAM total that the resource monitor reports supposed to be the amount of memory that ubuntu sees in total? | 06:08 |
| Phobiac | I think I broke Amarok, it won't load up. It just freezes at the splash screen. | 06:08 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: since ssh is encrypted, i doubt a proxy can catch it, though | 06:08 |
| Ohmu | Currently I need to do: 'du -cs .*' and 'du -cs *' to get all the files. How to do that in one command? Why does 'du -cs *' fail to get the .xyz folders? | 06:09 |

| rdw200169_ | joebodo: you should just get a cellular usb adapter then ;) | 06:09 |

| KlinkMeister | thanks! | 06:09 |
| ootput | I just got a hold of ubuntu. What on earth is up with the sound? | 06:10 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: i was messing with a sprint usb adapter, and it was faster than my time warner roadrunner | 06:10 |
| ootput | is pulse audio supposed to be a drop in replacement for alsa? | 06:10 |
| rdw200169_ | joebodo: freakin amazing | 06:10 |
| strAlan | is there a way to make a ubuntu bootable usb w/o the ubuntu image and just from my ubuntu o/s ? | 06:10 |
| strAlan | all these tutorials want me to burn the .iso to a cd and boot my machine from the livecd but I'd rather just use the o/s | 06:10 |
| midifreak | Ohmu: if i do cd /home/myuser; du -a ; I see all files and folders, recursively... is this what you want? | 06:10 |
| Phobiac | Anyone know where I can go from here? I suspect I messed up the config file that amarok uses. It won't load up. I've tried uninstalling, purging, purging and removing the folder that holds the settings, nothing works. | 06:10 |
| midifreak | strAlan: yes, using unetbootin, which is in repos | 06:11 |
| absion | oh wow. I did not see that preferences menu item. Got it. Thanks | 06:11 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i'll take a look at the package - thank you | 06:11 |
| craigtao | ???? | 06:11 |
| midifreak | Phobiac: amarok has config files in .kde too ... | 06:11 |
| strAlan | midifreak, unable to find package | 06:11 |
| strAlan | !unetbootin | 06:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin | 06:11 |
| midifreak | strAlan: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 06:12 |
| Phobiac | midifreak: I know, I uninstalled and deleted the amarok folder under .kde | 06:12 |
| midifreak | strAlan: intrepid has a built-in usb creator | 06:12 |
| strAlan | midifreak, you said it was in the repos | 06:12 |
| hubar | How do you get man pages to show color in intrepid? | 06:12 |
| Phobiac | But it just turned out the same where I reinstalled | 06:12 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i have hardy | 06:12 |
| midifreak | i suppose i am wrong at times strAlan | 06:12 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i want to install inrepid on the usb | 06:12 |
| mr_polite | Ability`: right click a panel on your desktop and click Add to panel | 06:13 |
| strAlan | midifreak, it's ok | 06:13 |
| midifreak | strAlan: go download and install unetbootin, and use it to create usb drive form iso file | 06:13 |
| Shoopuf | I want to install Ubuntu to a thumb drive, I've read some tutorials on how to do it, but I don't think my computer supports booting from USB... It just says "removables" ... Is a "removable" a USB? ...Not sure if my computer supports it... but would really like ubuntu on a usb stick | 06:13 |
| Guest11111 | hey is any 1 awake to help me i have a probulm | 06:13 |
| midifreak | Shoopuf: only way to really know is try.. but yes, removables should include usb | 06:13 |
| joebodo | Shoopuf removeable sounds promising] | 06:14 |

| Pooper | Do i need a sertant firmware to get ipodlinux on my itouch? | 06:14 |
| midifreak | strAlan: you know you can upgrade to intrepid using update-manager right | 06:14 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 06:15 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 06:15 |
| strAlan | midifreak, I've had less than desirable results w/ that type of upgrade | 06:15 |
| Phobiac | Hey nevermind I fixed it | 06:15 |
| strAlan | midifreak, next time I upgrade it will be a backup of documents + fresh, clean install | 06:15 |
| smokeymirror | good evening guys | 06:15 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: so some of the rules work. i can chat with you. but pings and accessing websites doesn't work. so something's getting blocked | 06:15 |
| strAlan | midifreak, do you happen to know the name of the package in intrepid that is the usb creater in the intrepid menu ? | 06:15 |
| smokeymirror | i have a hp dv5 with a intel wifi card and 8.10 gives me no love | 06:15 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: the firewall you have loaded in iptables is the same one posted (the last time)? | 06:16 |
| smokeymirror | under lspci i see the intel corp pro/wireless 5100agn | 06:16 |
| midifreak | strAlan: usb-creator | 06:16 |
| smokeymirror | but i can't get it enabled | 06:16 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: almost. I'll PM you the new one | 06:16 |
| _MattB | has anyone here setup ebox as a router? I'm having trouble getting the gateway working | 06:17 |
| smokeymirror | anyone know how to get the card enabled? | 06:17 |
| _MattB | not sure what to set it to | 06:17 |
| faryshta | strAlan, there is a way to only format a piece of your drive, so you can make a clean install and no need to back up your info. | 06:17 |
| strAlan | damn, that's not in hardy repos | 06:17 |
| smokeymirror | i have those touchpad buttons on the top of my keyboard and the wifi link is always red | 06:17 |
| midifreak | !wifi | smokeymirror | 06:17 |
| ubottu | smokeymirror: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:17 |
| swif | I used to have Roxio Toast Titanium 9 on a Mac, which included this really great app that would let you enter data disc after data disc, indexing all of the files in the discs and creating a searchable index so you could reference files on discs without putting each in to find what you're looking for... Is there such a CD/DVD disc search indexing package for Linux? | 06:17 |
| strAlan | faryshta, ya I've done that before - I even have my /home directory on a separate partition | 06:17 |
| midifreak | i don't have the card smokeymirror , especially https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs#Troubleshooting | 06:18 |
| faryshta | yeah, that is what I was talking about. | 06:18 |
| strAlan | faryshta, just not ready to dive into intrepid yet so I want to try using the bootable image and I don't have any blank cd's | 06:18 |
| faryshta | well is more stable than hardy. | 06:18 |
| smokeymirror | ill check the website again | 06:18 |
| midifreak | strAlan: unetbootin works fine, it is what usb-creator is based on i think | 06:18 |
| smokeymirror | but i always run into a brickwall | 06:18 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i downloaded it and it said I needed 7zip so now i'm d/l that too | 06:19 |
| faryshta | or at least the version with XFCE, I no longer use GNome and KDe | 06:19 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i would have appreciated it if you told me I needed 7zip too | 06:19 |
| midifreak | strAlan: no, download http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-i386-latest.deb , then double click it | 06:19 |
| t3hparad0x | connect | 06:19 |
| midifreak | strAlan: unless you are on amd64 | 06:19 |
| strAlan | yes I am | 06:19 |
| strAlan | :( | 06:19 |
| midifreak | strAlan: then get http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-amd64-latest.deb | 06:19 |
| strAlan | no love for 64-bit ? | 06:19 |
| strAlan | I never saw any link for .debs | 06:20 |
| midifreak | it is right on the site at the top... | 06:20 |
| gavagai | when i hover my cursor over the clock it says 'click to see your appointments'. can it look in my emacs diary file for that calendar? | 06:20 |
| swif | Anyone familiar with a disc search indexing package for Linux? So I can keep an index of all of my backup discs' files and search so it returns the disc label I'm looking for? | 06:20 |
| mdgs | ? | 06:20 |
| strAlan | midifreak, do you happen to know why the tab autocomplete wouldn't work in gnome-terminal | 06:20 |
| strAlan | just hasn't been working lately | 06:21 |
| strAlan | can't remember when it stopped working or what happened before it stopped | 06:21 |
| midifreak | swif: there are lots, beagle for example | 06:21 |
| swif | midifreak: your preference? | 06:21 |
| midifreak | swif: it is your preference :) I don't use one, if I need a file I use find on command line | 06:22 |
| noob | I have accidently set /etc/* to 600, now internet doesn't work, system won't boot, any method to restore default ubuntu permissions on it? | 06:22 |
| mdgs | hello there, anybody knows why mylogin screen font is bigger than ussual, i use 8.04 | 06:22 |
| swif | midifreak: Ah, you're blessed with a larger hard drive than myself, then. ;) | 06:22 |
| midifreak | swif: you could check out http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/desktop_search_tools_gnu_linux_tracker_recoll_strigi_deskbar | 06:22 |
| shocm | noob: boot with a livecd an manually change the permissions back | 06:23 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i'm running unetbootin now - did i have to set up partitioning on my flash drive before doing this | 06:23 |
| strAlan | its a 16gb drive, one part is fat16, the other is ext3 | 06:23 |
| noob | shocm: how? by comparing the permissions on live cd? | 06:23 |
| midifreak | deskbar is already built into ubuntu I think swif right click a bar and say add to panel, deskbar | 06:23 |
| midifreak | strAlan: it should be one fat32 partition | 06:23 |
| strAlan | midifreak, if I don't have one fat32 partition set will unetbootin do that automatically or do i have to re-part my usb drive | 06:24 |
| shocm | noob: yeah that is one method. unfortunately there is no easy UNDO way | 06:24 |
| shocm | did you chmod -R or just chmod? | 06:24 |
| midifreak | strAlan: i am not sure | 06:24 |
| hanasaki | why do I sometimes see a netmask of 192.168.1.255 and sometimes 255.255.255.0 and what is the difference? | 06:24 |
| strAlan | midifreak, ok, i'll find out and let you know | 06:24 |
| noob | shocm: chmod -vR | 06:24 |
| shocm | because -R would really suck | 06:24 |
| shocm | noob: ooohh nooo I am sorry | 06:25 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: first one is a broadcast address, not a netmask, second is a netmask | 06:25 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: thanks | 06:25 |
| mdgs | hello there | 06:25 |
| shocm | noob: you could try to chmod -R 755 | 06:26 |
| shocm | noob: that would probably address the biggest chunk, there will probably be some clean up | 06:26 |
| strAlan | midifreak, i am using the usb drive to boot my laptop and it seems to be working fine - thank you for your help | 06:27 |
| midifreak | good stuff strAlan enjoy | 06:27 |
| hanasaki | if I set an interface in etc/network/interfaces will netmanager ignore and not configure it? | 06:27 |
| swif | midifreak: Thanks very much for your help :) | 06:27 |
| faryshta | strAlan can you make updates and install packages on the USB? | 06:27 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: it should work... you can disable nm too | 06:27 |

| faryshta | which wireless you have? strAlan | 06:28 |
| strAlan | faryshta, i tried opening the folder where my network keys for the wireless network are kept and nautilus closed so it doesn't look good | 06:28 |

| danielllll | · /join >iquiquevip | 06:29 |
| strAlan | well this is going to be difficult | 06:29 |
| midifreak | gavagai: have you tried changing the video out driver in prefs? | 06:29 |
| Viktoras | rytas ;] | 06:29 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: the issue is that I have two NICs (its a firewall for me too and routing from inside the isp) eht0/isp and eth1/internal both come up but neither gets an IP . if I run dhclient from teh bash shell the get setup ok. this is just snice upgrading to intrepid | 06:29 |
| gavagai | midifreak, nope i will look at that, thanks | 06:29 |
| aaron | hi everyone....what is the best dock program for ubuntu? | 06:30 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: make it so it just says auto eth0 and auto eth1 on seperate lines | 06:30 |
| gavagai | midifreak, sorry, what preference menu is that under? | 06:30 |
| midifreak | gavagai: in mplayer or vlc, it would be in video section | 06:31 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: already did that.. | 06:31 |
| gavagai | ooooh ok | 06:31 |
| strAlan | faryshta, I accessed the file via command line and I am connected to my campus's network and | 06:31 |
| strAlan | I'm downloading updates to the flash drive now | 06:31 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: is it some type of bug to do "auto eth0 eth1 " on the same line? | 06:32 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: and you are not getting an IP at boot? on both NICs? | 06:32 |
| aaron | what's better to use AVN dock or Kiba dock? | 06:32 |
| mdgs | does anyone know why font size in Login screen is big... so big? also option window in login screen | 06:32 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: they need to be on dif lines | 06:32 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: correct | 06:32 |
| mdgs | i use 8.04 | 06:32 |
| strAlan | faryshta, i'm curios if the flash drive will save these updates or discard them when I'm done - i'll let you know | 06:32 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: hmm since they are already on diff lines.. thougths? | 06:32 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: check dmesg for hints | 06:33 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: networkmanager adds lines to the syslog that says its deactivating the nics... dmsg says nothing useful | 06:33 |
| headbanger | c.gr | 06:33 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: maybe disable nm? | 06:33 |
| randomguy101 | Hey, this is kinda embarassing, but I deleted the panel that has all the current apps | 06:34 |
| randomguy101 | and I have no idea how to get it back | 06:34 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: tried that too becuase after I bring up dhclient manually and everyging gets the right IPs / when I login to gnome it messes uip the IPs | 06:34 |
| randomguy101 | I tried right clicking on the apps/places/system panel and used the "new panel" thing, but that doesn't show what the current apps are | 06:34 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: what exactly is nm and what is teh avahi? | 06:35 |
| randomguy101 | I know this most likely has a very simple answer | 06:35 |
| randomguy101 | anyone know how to get it back? | 06:35 |
| ronhalfdanr | hi all, any VMware folks around? | 06:35 |
| midifreak | randomguy101: right click an existing panel, select new panel, then add "window list" (right click it add to panel) | 06:35 |
| randomguy101 | thanks! | 06:36 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: you need to either totally get rid of nm, including ni gnome (sessions) and use network interfaces file, or do it only through gnome | 06:36 |
| randomguy101 | I knew it has to be an easy solution | 06:36 |
| randomguy101 | I appreciate it | 06:36 |
| aaron | Which desktop dock program is better to use Kiba or AWN? | 06:37 |
| hanasaki | midifreak: so nm and using /network/interfaces are mutually exclusive? | 06:37 |

| ubottu | aaron: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:37 |
| aaron | err ok then how do I install kiba dock then? | 06:37 |
| midifreak | hanasaki: it is better to use one or other, servers would not normally run gnome, so would use network file | 06:37 |
| strAlan | faryshta, i downloaded the updates but the new kernel image didn't install w/ exit status 17 | 06:39 |

| hanasaki | midifreak: thanks. so what is the man reason to use nm ? to not use it? | 06:39 |
| hanasaki | what do I need to run so that I can just plug in the box to a network and get a dhcp on the external nic and it will deal with unplug/plugin the network cable ok? | 06:39 |
| faryshta | strAlan, you rocks. | 06:39 |
| faryshta | thanks for the information men. | 06:39 |
| strAlan | faryshta, i'm rebooting now to see if the updates have been retained | 06:39 |

| midifreak | hanasaki: just use nm in gnome... it should use dhcp by default | 06:40 |
| arash | is pptp vpn broken in 8.10? | 06:40 |
| strAlan | oh some updates were just released for hardy - let's see what we have | 06:40 |

| faryshta | ok strAlan I am pending. | 06:41 |

| midifreak | midifreak: there are none, it is a way of connecting, you don't have a choice if you connect directly to dsl modem | 06:43 |
| hanasaki | leohartx: ppeo is how dsl modems give an IP addres.. like dhcp for ethernet. | 06:43 |
| leohartx | midifreak: which is better ? pppoe or wired connection ? | 06:43 |

| midifreak | strAlan: you need a persistent mode usb, intrepid can make it, unetbootin not.. there are tutorials http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 06:52 |
| crashatau | _2: Check the permissions on your home folder | 06:52 |
| strAlan | midifreak, I've been to pendrivelinux but most of the tutorials require a cd-rom | 06:52 |
| crashatau | _2: Make sure you home folder belongs to your user. | 06:52 |
| _2 | crashatau perms are fine | 06:52 |
| strAlan | and that's unfair | 06:53 |
| strAlan | let me check them again | 06:53 |
| strAlan | I mean they require a livecd | 06:53 |
| strAlan | and I just want to use my usb drive | 06:53 |
| _2 | crashatau any other thoughts ? | 06:53 |
| crashatau | _2: and your .gnome in home directory? | 06:53 |
| midifreak | strAlan: you can do what you want, put debs in /var/cache/apt/archives wireless key is harder | 06:53 |
| _2 | crashatau yes perms are fine | 06:53 |
| === azfira is now known as ungu_violet | ||
| strAlan | midifreak, I'm sure I can figure it out - just need to see where it is stored | 06:54 |
| whatlah_ | god even draw a straight is such a pain in the as | 06:54 |
| midifreak | strAlan: you can specify it in /etc/network/interfaces | 06:54 |
| whatlah_ | what kind of photo editing is this | 06:54 |
| strAlan | midifreak, awesome | 06:54 |
| ootput | hi guys, how do i disable a particular sound device? IT's for an ATI HDMI, which uses the same module as my onboard realtek HDA which I prefer | 06:54 |
| crashatau | _2: Are you just right clicking them and hitting delete? | 06:54 |
| ootput | it's really complicating matters | 06:55 |
| strAlan | midifreak, I don't think that's right | 06:55 |
| smokeymirror | thanks i think my wifi might work now | 06:55 |
| _2 | crashatau there is no "delete" that's the problem | 06:55 |
| midifreak | pen tool whatlah_ ? but this may belong in #gimp... | 06:55 |
| smokeymirror | i have to wait until tomorrow to test it at a hot spot | 06:55 |
| crashatau | _2: ah. | 06:55 |
| Novalty | crashatau, i have created a bootchart, and have noticed that it hangs for a long while while it looks for the network. | 06:55 |
| midifreak | strAlan: ? | 06:55 |
| strAlan | midifreak, I'm using wireless now but all my /etc/network/interfaces file is just my two interfaces and they're set to auto/dhcp | 06:55 |
| smokeymirror | it kinda sucks when i can't get online to research because i have no internet but at home where im wired i have no wifi :/ | 06:55 |
| strAlan | midifreak, isn't the thing i'm looking to manipulate the "keyring" ? | 06:55 |
| midifreak | strAlan: i said you *can* specify it tehre, right now nm is doign it | 06:55 |
| crashatau | Novalty: Are the interfaces using dhcp? | 06:56 |
| kb | good morning | 06:56 |
| smokeymirror | goodnight guys and thanks for all the hlep | 06:56 |
| smokeymirror | help* | 06:56 |
| kb | is it possible to export all gnome configuration settings and the list of all installed package from one ubuntu installation to another? | 06:56 |
| _2 | crashatau and i highlight and hit [del] it says can't move to trash do i want to delete, i say delete and it does nothing | 06:56 |
| midifreak | strAlan: you could probably copy your /home while running and then re-copy it back to the usb and it would preserve your key | 06:56 |
| === |JD| is now known as [JD] | ||
| strAlan | midifreak, I figured - I'll look into how to do it in interfaces file | 06:56 |
| crashatau | _2: I normally just left click the icon and shift+delete | 06:56 |
| leohartx | how do i install my DVB-T USB stick ? | 06:57 |
| wartalker | leohartx: if you want to network-manager manage your network, you should delete other interface in /etc/network/interfaces | 06:57 |
| _2 | crashatau so i'm thinking that they are not in my home but in /usr/share/something... ? | 06:57 |
| crashatau | _2: Are you like 200% the permissions are correct and you have u+rw atleast? | 06:57 |
| _2 | crashatau yes perms are fine. | 06:57 |
| midifreak | _2: which icons won't delete? | 06:57 |
| klik | hello | 06:57 |
| _2 | trash and computer midifreak | 06:58 |
| crashatau | midifreak: yeah goo point | 06:58 |
| _2 | only two i see. | 06:58 |
| leohartx | wartalker: would you mind doing it for me ? | 06:58 |
| strAlan | midifreak, the network key is kept in Applications -> Accessories -> Passowrds & Encryption Keys | 06:58 |
| crashatau | _2: Um, why you want to delete them? | 06:58 |
| midifreak | _2: you can't delete them you can hide them using gconf-editor | 06:58 |
| error404notfound | I have ubuntu 8.10, when I try to shutdown, it takes years after the progress bar is left 25% orange, then I have to turn it off forcefully... Any solution to avoid such unexpected shutdowns? | 06:58 |
| midifreak | strAlan: yes, but where is that on disk? | 06:58 |
| Novalty | crashatau, yes, they are | 06:58 |
| midifreak | !noacpi | error404notfound | 06:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about noacpi | 06:59 |
| _2 | midifreak well that stinks. should be able to at least hide them with right click | 06:59 |
| strAlan | midifreak, looking now... | 06:59 |
| midifreak | _2: i did not program this | 06:59 |
| xTr3m3 | hi :) | 06:59 |
| _2 | midifreak yeah ok. any way thanks for the info. | 06:59 |
| crashatau | _2: Complaint to gnome :) | 06:59 |
| error404notfound | midifreak: ? | 06:59 |
| midifreak | error404notfound: noacpi at boot time may help, I gotta go sorry | 07:00 |
| _2 | crashatau pfft why? haven't a thousand people already done that ? | 07:00 |
| wartalker | leohartx: you backup interfaces first, then delete lines form 3 to the end in interfaces, and reboot your computer | 07:00 |
| midifreak | _2: most people don't care about 2 icons on desktop ;) | 07:00 |
| ronhalfdanr | anyone know how to allow VMware to access ubuntu data drives? | 07:00 |
| crashatau | _2: 1001st complaint may push them over the edge :p | 07:00 |
| leohartx | wartalker: thankyou | 07:00 |
| _2 | crashatau :) | 07:01 |
| sohardtofind | Hello guys ... got question about Xen ... Everything works fine and all ... however, on DomU, I 'lost' source IP address ... so say I connect from my home to DomU, in DomU, it says I connect from Xen IP ... anyone knows how to fix this ? | 07:01 |

| dewente | problems with my ftp server | 07:02 |
| xTr3m3 | 've just ask: why is firefox default in ubuntu and not opera? | 07:02 |
| xTr3m3 | opera is 1000x better than ff | 07:02 |
| crashatau | _2: alt+f2 | 07:02 |
| swif | Brasero to my knowledge does not support disc spanning. Is there a disc burner which does? Even if it's command line? | 07:02 |
| _2 | crashatau i was afreid you would say that. that means that's not working either. | 07:02 |
| dewente | i cant connect to my ftp server | 07:02 |
| kkathman | xTr3m3, there are issues with opera however that there aren't in firefox tho | 07:03 |
| ValentineXX | from where i can get cute ubuntu avatara logos? | 07:03 |
| hot_wheelz | btw this is default kernel in 8.10 | 07:03 |
| xTr3m3 | whitch issues? :) | 07:03 |
| ronhalfdanr | file sharing in VMware anyone? | 07:03 |
| crashatau | ronhalfdanr: If you are running vmware 1.0x, you can give it access to a physical disk or partition, but tough to access a folder. | 07:04 |
| ikonia | ronhalfdanr: works the same as a normal host | 07:04 |
| pirattrev_ | half life 2 in wine anybody? | 07:04 |
| kkathman | multimedia ones, the API that opera uses is not compatible with many players that embed. Opera has stated that they will not modify them xTr3m3 | 07:04 |
| ronhalfdanr | nope, VMware server 2.0 | 07:04 |
| ikonia | pirattrev_: you'll find solid wine support in #winehq | 07:04 |
| ronhalfdanr | and I have no idea how a "normal host" works | 07:04 |
| faryshta | pirattrev_, there is a game called OpenArena which is very alike Half Life. | 07:04 |
| dewente | ftp://192.168.1.3 could someone test it | 07:04 |
| ikonia | dewente: thats a private address | 07:05 |
| faryshta | just sudo apt-get install openarena | 07:05 |
| kb | is it possible to export all gnome configuration settings and the list of all installed package from one ubuntu installation to another? | 07:05 |
| kkathman | however many people dont care about that, so they use Opera anyway, which is what Linux is all about | 07:05 |
| ikonia | dewente: 192.168 is not internet visable | 07:05 |
| crashatau | ronhalfdanr: You in luck, my vmware 2.0 server on ubuntu server 8.04 is just up and running lol | 07:05 |
| faryshta | and I don't know anything larger than 30mb which works with wine sorry. | 07:05 |
| dewente | ikonia, ok | 07:05 |
| pirattrev_ | faryshta- thanks alot, but no, I don't want a look alike | 07:05 |
| ronhalfdanr | lol crash, got mine up and running today too and apps installed...........now just need to get to my data | 07:05 |
| crashatau | I have Farcry 2, Fallout 3, Wow, TF2, Steam all working under wine :) | 07:05 |
| dewente | ikonia, ftp://sshh.homeunix.com/ ? | 07:05 |
| xTr3m3 | oh :( ff3.0.3 is a f****** performance eater... extreme cpu/ram use :( | 07:05 |
| faryshta | pirattrev_, ok, then you can put a virtual machine. And OpenArena is trully good, you should give him a try. | 07:06 |
| ikonia | dewente: I don't know, I'm not testing | 07:06 |
| swif | Brasero (to my knowledge) does not support disc spanning. Is there a disc burner which does? Even if it's command line? | 07:06 |
| ValentineXX | ubottu | 07:06 |
| ikonia | xTr3m3: can you please moderate your language you don't need to use stared out works | 07:06 |
| kkathman | xTr3m3, some great progress was made in FF3 over FF2 however. | 07:06 |
| dewente | someone try it for me ftp://sshh.homeunix.com/ | 07:07 |
| swif | xTr3m3: Which browser do you use? | 07:07 |
| pirattrev_ | faryshta - i know, i have it, i'm not asking for openareana | 07:07 |
| xTr3m3 | in moment ,opera 9.62 | 07:07 |
| faryshta | pirattrev_, sudo apt-get install vmware and then follow the instructions :-) | 07:07 |
| pirattrev_ | THAT DOESN'T HELP ME | 07:08 |
| pirattrev_ | so please stop trying | 07:08 |
| bazhang | caps pirattrev_ | 07:08 |
| bazhang | wine help in #winehq | 07:08 |
| pirattrev_ | i know, but i reserve the right to use them when idiocy is used | 07:08 |
| dewente | is that working ftp://sshh.homeunix.com/ ? | 07:08 |
| kkathman | xTr3m3, also, Opera is very iffy with Flash, for what its worth..for instance on sites where alot of flash things occur, ie. CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, the flash doesnt work, or is inconsistent | 07:09 |
| ikonia | pirattrev_: no you don't and calling someone an idiot is not needed | 07:09 |
| _2 | i don't see anything in gconf-editor that mentions icons or links on the desktop | 07:09 |
| pirattrev_ | did i? no | 07:09 |
| swif | Brasero to my knowledge does not support disc spanning. Is there a disc burner which does? Even if it's command line? | 07:09 |
| ikonia | dewente: you'll find people will be wary of connecting to strangers machines, you may find it easeier to test with a friend | 07:09 |
| _2 | are we sure i can remove all icons form the desktop via gconf-editor ??? | 07:09 |
| dewente | ikonia, i dont have friends | 07:10 |
| dewente | sorry | 07:10 |
| ronhalfdanr | swif: do you mean like using multiple discs to creata backup? | 07:10 |
| geremy | dewente: downforeveryoneorjustme.com | 07:10 |
| kkathman | brb | 07:11 |
| ikonia | _2: yeah, there is a setting | 07:11 |
| xTr3m3 | kkathman: now yes flash + java times are now a risk :/ ok... | 07:11 |
| ootput | how do i remove pulseaudio from ibex? | 07:11 |
| ootput | i'd rather the simplicity (at least to me) of alsa | 07:11 |
| rdw200169_ | ootput: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | 07:11 |
| _2 | ikonia where ? | 07:11 |
| ikonia | _2: don't know off the top of my head, but it is in there | 07:11 |
| ootput | rdw200169_: is that a quickshot uninstall of everything related to it? | 07:12 |
| _2 | ikonia my gconf-editor is almost bare and it's not under desktop for sure | 07:12 |
| ikonia | _2: gconf2 | 07:12 |
| _2 | checking | 07:12 |
| rdw200169_ | ootput: should be, regardless of whether or not that's a metapackage, it should, if i remmeber correclty, get rid of the executable, /usr/bin/pulseaudio | 07:12 |
| _2 | ikonia gconf2 command not found | 07:13 |
| ronhalfdanr | anyway, how to get a virtual machine to be able to access the data on my data drives? | 07:13 |
| ikonia | _2: gcon2-editor | 07:13 |
| ikonia | gconf2-editor | 07:13 |
| _2 | nope | 07:13 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: Thanks for all of your help, i got it working perfectly now. funny thing is, my ISP went down, so I can't test it 100% right now. I'm using an alternate connection that i still have, since I switched ISPs just 2 weeks ago. although, with these outages... lol. again, thanks for your help :) | 07:13 |

| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: for more help fine tuning your rules, i would suggest using firestarter, and checking the rules it makes, using iptables-save | 07:15 |
| Ohmu | _so_ nearly there! 'du -msh {,.}[!.]* . | sort -rn' Now how to sort the items properly? at the mo, 200K comes before 100M (each line is like '153K MyFolder') | 07:16 |
| xTr3m3 | somebody has experience with crossover linux? because wine is nothing in the terms ;) | 07:16 |
| erv | hey guys | 07:16 |
| _2 | -m and -h ? | 07:16 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: firestarter does a good job, and it will show you how to forward ports, block ports, allow ports, etc... | 07:16 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: just set ip up using the gtk app. | 07:16 |

| Rumi | Hey thanx Geremy, jobs done | 07:17 |

| geremy | Rumi: np | 07:17 |
| rdw200169_ | HorizonXP: right now, your rules are just about wide open, i would strongly suggest updating them by making them more secure, good luck! | 07:17 |
| _2 | crdlb stops at apps/naut/ no prefs there | 07:18 |
| xTr3m3 | somebody has experience with crossover linux? good ,bad? | 07:18 |
| HorizonXP | rdw200169_: yeah i know, that's my next task | 07:18 |
| ronhalfdanr | xTr3m3: it deopends what you want to run | 07:18 |
| ikonia | xTr3m3: there is a official support group for cross-over, I'm sure they will explain the pro's and cons | 07:19 |
| _2 | crdlb sorry. one more step. has apps/naut/prefs but no *_desktop or show* | 07:19 |

| xTr3m3 | but the user comments about corossover are more important | 07:20 |
| ikonia | dewente: no | 07:20 |
| bazhang | xTr3m3, it is offtopic here. | 07:20 |

| BoltClock | hi, flash player has been messing up my sound. once firefox plays a flash movie, whether it uses or does not use sound, every other program cant emit anymore sound. sometimes when i quit firefox the process becomes a zombie, or things like pidgin or gnome-terminal begin to crash and im forced to restart the computer, not just x | 07:21 |
| LostandFound | could someone give me some advice on a wireless problem? | 07:21 |
| joebodo | ikonia security has always been an issue with ftp - i wouldnt open it unless that machine was firewalled off from the rest of my machines | 07:22 |
| kyle__ | anyone happen to be able to point me in the direction of changing permisions for starting xservers? | 07:22 |
| BoltClock | (im on hardy) | 07:22 |
| crdlb | _2: you seem to have a broken nautilus install | 07:22 |
| ikonia | joebodo: he's using ftp on the internet - how do you suggest he firewalls that off as a public ftp server | 07:22 |
| alum | Hi, I need to add keyboard applet (with Czech and US keyboard configured) to Ubuntu Live CD. How can I do that? I know how to remaster Live CD and add some packages and customization, bud I don't know how to add automatically keyboard applet to the GNOME panel and configure it. | 07:22 |
| _2 | crdlb what makes you think that ? | 07:22 |
| ardchoille | _2: because you should have a ton more settings in apps/naut/prefs than that | 07:23 |
| crdlb | _2: because there be ~50 entries, not 2 | 07:23 |
| joebodo | ikonia firewall between that machine and any others he has on the same network | 07:23 |
| ronhalfdanr | <-----------only uses ftp from my machine to my website | 07:23 |
| _2 | crdlb so dapper's naut is borked ? | 07:23 |
| crdlb | _2: and those two were probably written at runtime when you changed those settings | 07:23 |
| crdlb | no | 07:23 |
| ardchoille | _2: Have you thought about upgrading to the latest LTS release? Dapper Drake is quite old | 07:24 |
| ridge | anybody? | 07:24 |
| crdlb | _2: you could try reinstalling the nautilus package, but the problem might be larger than just nautilus | 07:24 |
| ikonia | ridge: what good is saying anyone. "if they didn't see the question how is anyone going to tell them, if they don't know the qnaswer how is anyone going to make them know | 07:24 |
| ronhalfdanr | anyone know how to get ubuntu to allow a virtual machine to see data drives? | 07:25 |
| faryshta | Riddell, what is your issue? | 07:25 |
| _2 | crdlb i really don't think it's broken. | 07:25 |
| ikonia | !vmware > ronhalfdanr | 07:25 |
| ubottu | ronhalfdanr, please see my private message | 07:25 |
| yoyoliyang | so,everybody,i have some question, wubi can boot other linux? | 07:25 |
| ardchoille | faryshta: I think you got the wrong nick ;) | 07:25 |
| crdlb | _2: what makes you say that? ... | 07:25 |
| LostandFound | hey, anyone got a minute???? | 07:25 |
| ikonia | !offtopic > yoyoliyang | 07:25 |
| ubottu | yoyoliyang, please see my private message | 07:26 |
| Ward1983 | i had to compile zsnes because the regular one doesnt work, now i foudn a deb that works so i want to remove my compiled version first, so i did sudo make uninstall | 07:26 |
| faryshta | yeah sorry. ridge what is your issue? | 07:26 |
| Ward1983 | only that didnt uninstall... | 07:26 |
| bazhang | yoyoliyang, no it cant | 07:26 |
| Ward1983 | its still in the ´memory´ | 07:26 |
| SegFaultAX | !ask | LostandFound | 07:26 |
| ubottu | LostandFound: 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. :-) | 07:26 |
| Ward1983 | tab completion still shows it | 07:26 |
| crdlb | _2: every app that uses gconf is supposed to install a schema file which documents each setting key; this hasn't happened for nautilus | 07:26 |
| _2 | crdlb i have no reason to think it is. and i just reinstalled it anyway. but i still doubt that it was/is broken. | 07:26 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: then it's not uninstalled | 07:26 |
| crdlb | so the only keys you see are the ones that have been set at runtime by nautilus | 07:26 |
| crdlb | so I _know_ it's broken | 07:27 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, but i thought sudo make uninstall allways aorked? | 07:27 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: nope | 07:27 |
| ardchoille | _2: if you only have 2 settings in apps/nautilus/preferences, then something is wrong. I remember having a lot more than that in Dapper | 07:27 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, so how do i get rid of it? | 07:27 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: remove the files | 07:27 |
| LostandFound | sorry first time to irc :-(, so i just bought a new laptop an hp pavilion dv5 1040 and i want to install ubuntu on it | 07:27 |
| yoyoliyang | bazhang, i can use wubi boot slitaz,but have some problem | 07:27 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, how do i know what files :s | 07:27 |
| _2 | crdlb ok so you know it is and i'm pretty sure it isn't heh. do you think it might be because i have never ran nautilus that it didn't have any settings ? | 07:27 |
| rdw200169_ | Ward1983: for future reference, all Makefile(s) are not created equally ;) | 07:27 |
| LostandFound | but i have problem with the wireless conection while running the live cd | 07:28 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: you are supposed to know what's installed where before installing it | 07:28 |
| rdw200169_ | Ward1983: depends on the programmer... | 07:28 |
| ardchoille | _2: heh, no | 07:28 |
| crdlb | _2: no, the schemas are installed when the app (nautuilus) is installed | 07:28 |
| Ward1983 | rdw200169_, i never had this in the 2 or 3 years i use linux :s | 07:28 |
| bazhang | yoyoliyang, this is ubuntu ; discussion of other distros in their respective channels NOT here. | 07:28 |
| faryshta | LostandFound, that is something common. Can you tell us which wireless you have? | 07:28 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, sudo make uninstall just allways worked for me, this is the very first time i get this crap | 07:28 |
| crdlb | _2: you can work around this by setting the key you want manually with gconftool-2 | 07:29 |
| LostandFound | it is the intel 5000 | 07:29 |
| yoyoliyang | bazhang, i know, but i use WUBI. | 07:29 |
| SegFaultAX | !wifi | LostandFound | 07:29 |
| ubottu | LostandFound: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:29 |
| rdw200169_ | Ward1983: well, all you should really have to do, is find the install files, maybe /usr/local | 07:29 |
| Ward1983 | rdw200169_, one would think zsnes would have good programmers because the prog works nice | 07:29 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: makeuninstall depends on the softrware, the makefile etc etc, assuming it works for everything is wrong | 07:29 |
| crdlb | _2: so, are you trying to avoid nautilus showing any icons, or just the home/computer/volume icons? | 07:29 |
| _2 | crdlb key ? | 07:29 |
| rdw200169_ | Ward1983: heh | 07:29 |
| Ward1983 | rdw200169_, well i know where the install files are offcourse | 07:29 |
| _2 | crdlb any icons | 07:29 |
| yoyoliyang | rdw200169_,are you chinese? | 07:29 |

| Polysics | hi all | 07:30 |
| yoyoliyang | <bazhang,thanks | 07:30 |
| crdlb | _2: then try: gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -t bool false | 07:30 |
| rdw200169_ | yoyoliyang: no, why? | 07:30 |
| Polysics | which type of decoration do i need to download if i want a different window style for Gnome? Metacity? | 07:30 |
| Ward1983 | rdw200169_, i really have no idea how to start :s | 07:30 |
| Diablo | so my 3rd time to install a printer has failed :-) | 07:30 |
| Polysics | i am using Compiz Fusion | 07:31 |
| _2 | crdlb k | 07:31 |
| Ward1983 | rdw200169_, all sudo make uninstall did was delete the damn executable :@ | 07:31 |

| Polysics | ok, thx | 07:32 |
| opera | exit | 07:32 |
| rdw200169_ | well, it's pretty safe to delete the install directories | 07:32 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | for some reason i cant open my mp3/sound files | 07:32 |
| Ward1983 | i jsut setup the perfect system | 07:32 |

| rdw200169_ | cd /usr/local/lib/zsnes | 07:32 |

| rdw200169_ | or whatever | 07:32 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | same with xine | 07:32 |
| _2 | crdlb i'll look around and see what is actually broken. | 07:32 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what's the prob and how do i fix it | 07:32 |
| Ward1983 | and now its screwed because of some lazy #$#@ that doesnt care about the users of his software | 07:32 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: nmind your language | 07:32 |
| bazhang | Ward1983, watch your attitude here | 07:33 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: it's "broke" because you as a lazy user didn't read the install instructions or take the time to configure and install it correct | 07:33 |
| Xacarith | I now seem to be having sound issues... In that only one program can use sound at once. So if, say, pidgin is using sound my game looses it. Now that I have sound running on said game, I've lost it on every thing else | 07:33 |
| Shadow420 | Ward tell me the problem | 07:33 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: so lets not slate the "lazy" developer when it was "you" the lazy user who put you in this situation | 07:33 |
| leohartx | how do i merge or resize partitions without losing data ? | 07:33 |
| maher | could any one please tell me how could i setup the ubuntu and windows please | 07:33 |
| SegFaultAX | leohartx: gparted | 07:33 |
| maher | please | 07:34 |
| ikonia | !dualboo > maher | 07:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dualboo | 07:34 |
| bazhang | !dualboot | maher | 07:34 |
| Polysics | maher, wubi is your best bet if you are at that stage | 07:34 |

| Polysics | wubi is the best invention since sliced bread | 07:34 |
| Kinote | Right. Does anyone have about an hour to help me work around some problems? | 07:34 |
| ferronica | i have PCI AverMedia TvTuner card with FM i want to listen to Radio only what application do i need for it??? | 07:34 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, i followed instructions... | 07:34 |
| ikonia | Kinote: just ask the questions | 07:34 |
| _2 | crdlb maybe it's gconf that is broken ? | 07:34 |
| joebodo | !sound | Xacarith | 07:34 |
| ubottu | Xacarith: 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 | 07:34 |
| Kinote | It's a rather long list of issues. | 07:34 |
| vega | i have a fully updated dapper and try to upgrade using the official procedure (do-release-upgrade -m desktop) but get "no new release found", what next? | 07:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | help, can't get my sound files/mp3 to play on any of the players, i've xine, audacious, audacity, amarok, vlc, and they just get stuck or crash if i click on any of the files | 07:35 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: no - or you would know how your configured it | 07:35 |
| vega | kubuntu that is | 07:35 |
| joebodo | Polysics agreed | 07:35 |
| ikonia | Kinote: go through, one by one | 07:35 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, i folloed instructions in a forumthread.... | 07:35 |
| vega | ah, but was there a #kubuntu channel also.. | 07:35 |
| BlakJak | anyone with experience running ubuntu-eee? | 07:35 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, thanx for the help btw, that helped me a lot | 07:35 |
| SegFaultAX | !updrade | vega | 07:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about updrade | 07:35 |
| crdlb | _2: look through /apps/ in gconf-editor for the same kind of thing you saw in /apps/nautilus/. If you only see a few keys under each with no descriptions, gconf is broken | 07:35 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: then you didn't read the instructions the developer gave you - you trusted a random user on the internet | 07:35 |
| vega | !upgrade | 07:35 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:35 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | vega | 07:35 |
| ubottu | vega: please see above | 07:35 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, again thanx that helps a lot man | 07:35 |
| joebodo | BlakJak i have 2 eee's running the custom eeepc kernel | 07:36 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: no problem, explaining why you brought your situation ourself is important to stop you a.) blaming others b.) doing it in future | 07:36 |
| Shadow420 | vega I suggest you go to the ubuntu site and download and burn the lastest version ubuntu 8.04 Intrepid Ibex | 07:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, you dont have to help me but please stop complaining | 07:36 |
| _2 | crdlb there are few enough "keys" total i could almost paste them here | 07:36 |
| BoltClock | flash player has been messing up my sound. once firefox plays a flash movie, whether it uses or does not use sound, every other program cant emit anymore sound. sometimes when i quit firefox the process becomes a zombie, or things like pidgin or gnome-terminal begin to crash and im forced to restart the computer, not just x. im using hardy. | 07:36 |
| ferronica | i have PCI AverMedia TvTuner card with FM i want to listen to Radio only what application do i need for it??? | 07:36 |
| SegFaultAX | Shadow420: that'd be 8.10 | 07:36 |
| brain187 | has anyone bought the codecs and powerdvd from the online store yet? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | Ward1983, please take chat elsewhere. | 07:36 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: I'm not complaining | 07:36 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: I'm curious about the default disk partitioning regime and the swap partition on a solid state drive... | 07:36 |
| Crusix | don't forget guys, open your terminal and type "apt-get moo" | 07:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, please stop chatting to me | 07:36 |
| BlakJak | is this not going to increase the rate at which the SSD will wear out.. ? | 07:36 |
| ferronica | ikonia: i have PCI AverMedia TvTuner card with FM i want to listen to Radio only what application do i need for it??? | 07:37 |
| joebodo | BlakJak i run swapless on both machines | 07:37 |
| leohartx | SegFaultAX: i mean without losing data, gparted cant do that | 07:37 |
| vega | Shadow420: 8.04 intrepid ibex?? | 07:37 |
| Shadow420 | I had a bad expereince with upgrades in linux | 07:37 |
| SegFaultAX | leohartx: yes, it can | 07:37 |
| ikonia | ferronica amrarok can do it I think | 07:37 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: does it work well? Default build included 256meg swap | 07:37 |
| Kinote | Alright, before we get to the questions I suppose I should start at the beginning. I booted up my computer today to find a Disk Read Error after POST, I rebooted and it went away. My computer seems to stall between POST, and booting into Windows. Trying to find a way around this, I downloaded Ubuntu and tried to install it from my CD ROM, which returned errors and suggested I reboot. | 07:37 |
| BlakJak | (which isnt enough to sleep the machine anyway) | 07:37 |
| Shadow420 | !intrepid | 07:37 |
| Ward1983 | is there some document about getting compiled software removed when make uninstall goes wrong? | 07:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 07:37 |
| vega | i don't want to reinstall, but do an upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS, that should be supported afaik | 07:37 |
| joebodo | BlakJak from what i read, swapless seemed to be the best choice | 07:37 |
| ferronica | ikonia: do i need to mount it first? | 07:37 |
| ikonia | Ward1983 no there isn't | 07:37 |
| vega | after that i can go to intrepid | 07:38 |
| _2 | crdlb that would also be why alt+f2 doesn't work, wouldn't it ? | 07:38 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: agreed. Know how I might retrospectively disable the use of swap space? | 07:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | help, can't get my sound files/mp3 to play on any of the players, i've xine, audacious, audacity, amarok, vlc, and they just get stuck or crash if i click on any of the files | 07:38 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, ok thanx anyway | 07:38 |
| joebodo | BlakJak but there are arguments for both options | 07:38 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: arguments for? | 07:38 |
| faryshta | vega, that is not supported, upgrades are from 7.04 and so on. | 07:38 |
| faryshta | 7.04 had major changes. | 07:38 |
| joebodo | BlakJak for and against using swap | 07:38 |
| ardchoille | Ward1983: Not really, the best you can do is go into the makefile and see where everything was installed and try and remove it manually | 07:38 |
| Kinote | From there, I put the CD in my DVD ROM and it ran fine. Until I tried to install on my HD. Around 58% it stops, says a drive or disk is failing, and kicks me back to Ubuntu and runs off RAM space. | 07:38 |
| vega | faryshta: what? yes it is | 07:38 |
| Shadow420 | so you have to reinstall | 07:38 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: sounds like possible hardware failure | 07:38 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: sorry badly phrased, was asking if you knew the chief arguments 'for' retaining swap | 07:38 |
| joebodo | BlakJak no idea how to get rid of the swap once it's been installed | 07:38 |
| faryshta | Let me find some documentation. | 07:38 |
| faryshta | but while try this | 07:39 |
| _2 | joebodo i'm again it. | 07:39 |
| vega | err, ugprade from 6.06 to 8.04 IS SUPPORTED.. | 07:39 |
| faryshta | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:39 |
| vega | they are both LTS versions | 07:39 |
| ardchoille | vega: That's not a good idea | 07:39 |
| Kinote | Yeah, that was my thought as well. Putting Ubuntu on another drive to get files back and use for diagnostics was the idea. | 07:39 |
| badstue | What is the easiest way to make a image of ubuntu and restore it later ?? | 07:39 |
| SegFaultAX | vega: i wouldnt suggest that to anyone, though | 07:39 |
| faryshta | ardchoille, why you think is bad idea' | 07:39 |
| faryshta | ? | 07:39 |
| joebodo | BlakJak if you run applications that require more memory than what you have. or, if you want to hibernate | 07:39 |
| ardchoille | vega: To go from 6.06 to 8.04 you need to go from 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 | 07:39 |
| bazhang | ardchoille, not so | 07:40 |
| crdlb | ardchoille: LTS to LTS is supported | 07:40 |
| vega | ardchoille: no, thats not correct | 07:40 |
| SegFaultAX | ardchoille: no, you dont | 07:40 |
| ardchoille | you can't skip releases when upgrading | 07:40 |
| joebodo | BlakJak what model do you have ? | 07:40 |
| * crdlb has done it twice | 07:40 | |
| Kinote | There is more to the story, but I trimmed it up a bit for easy reading. | 07:40 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: 701 4GB | 07:40 |
| vega | ardchoille: yes you can, from LTS to LTS | 07:40 |
| Ward1983 | ardchoille, was thinking of that too, but ill probably kill it anyway, i dunno anything about this | 07:40 |
| SegFaultAX | arcade: sure you can | 07:40 |
| ardchoille | Oh, ok, I stand corrected | 07:40 |
| crdlb | _2: this looks a bit like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf2/+bug/50150 | 07:40 |
| bazhang | ardchoille, there is a one step process for that | 07:40 |
| vega | ardchoille: don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about.. | 07:40 |
| Xacarith | I can't find anything on this issue and ALSA is selected. | 07:40 |
| BlakJak | i wonder if I should follow this http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/wiki/index.php5?title=How_to:_reduce_swappiness and then just leave it at that | 07:40 |
| ardchoille | I'm running on old information, sorry folks. | 07:40 |
| vega | but the REAL problem is the "no new release found.." stuff | 07:40 |
| _2 | crdlb looking | 07:40 |
| joebodo | BlakJak sleep mode is useless as it drains the battery in a few hours - therefore, you might want to consider hibernating | 07:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | right now if i try to open a sound file with vlc it looks as tho it was playing | 07:41 |
| ardchoille | Ubuntu keeps getting better and I need to learn the new ways :) | 07:41 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but no sound comes out | 07:41 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | help | 07:41 |
| joebodo | BlakJak although, i dont know how well ubuntu comes out of hibernate mode | 07:41 |
| SegFaultAX | ardchoille: or you could just read the developer notes | 07:41 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: I heard if you up the swap to match the ram size it'll hibernate OK | 07:41 |
| bazhang | !cloning | badstue | 07:41 |
| ubottu | badstue: 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 && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 07:41 |
| crdlb | _2: from that bug, try 'sudo gconf-schemas --register-all' | 07:41 |
| BlakJak | but I wasnt sure what the specs of the disk partitionining wanted to be, install only gave me 'auto or manual' and no 'guided' option so I used auto | 07:41 |
| Shadow420 | vega I had very bad problems when I upgraded from gutsy to hardy | 07:41 |
| joebodo | BlakJak it has to be over the amount of memory, i cant recall by how much - but it might be 2x | 07:42 |
| joebodo | BlakJak that's a lot of disk to lose though | 07:42 |
| BlakJak | 2x?? has 512meg memory... hardly going to reserve 1gb on a 4gig ssd for swap | 07:42 |
| Xacarith | I also have an issue with my display not staying set to how I tell it monitor 1 should be to the left of 0. While it acts this way, it is still saying 1 is to the right of 0 and it's just doing screwy things that defy logic. | 07:42 |
| Kinote | So the question is, why would all my HD's be failing at the same time. Except for that I can access two of them from Ubuntu running from the LiveCD, but only when the CD is placed in my DVD ROM and not my CD ROM? | 07:42 |
| badstue | bazhang: But can i make it to automatically boot from a backup CD ? So it starts the restore process automatically ? | 07:42 |
| SegFaultAX | vega: just backup your home partition, and reinstall from scratch | 07:42 |
| Shadow420 | I found myself dumping it and reinstalling gutsy from scratch | 07:42 |
| bazhang | badstue, check aptoncd then | 07:42 |
| vega | Shadow420: i've had problems too on various occassions, but at this time i'm going for an upgrade first, reinstall if it doesn't work, i have backups | 07:42 |
| bazhang | !aptoncd | badstue | 07:42 |
| ubottu | badstue: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 07:42 |
| joebodo | BlakJak i partitioned the 701 that i have as 4 gig root on the main ssd and home on an added 8g ssd | 07:43 |
| BlakJak | ah, an sd card? | 07:43 |
| badstue | but isnt that just a backup of the packages ? | 07:43 |
| bazhang | badstue, some user action is required though | 07:43 |
| joebodo | Blakjak yes | 07:43 |
| _2 | gconf-schemas: error: no such option: --register-all | 07:43 |
| _2 | gconf-schemas: error: no such option: --register-all | 07:43 |
| Kinote | Can somebody try and troubleshoot getting Ubuntu on to one of these drives with me in a PM? | 07:43 |
| _2 | gconf-schemas: error: no such option: --register-all | 07:43 |
| _2 | sorry.... | 07:43 |
| badstue | !automate | 07:43 |
| SegFaultAX | !spam | _2 | 07:43 |

| ikonia | Kinote: you've said about 200 lines, but not made the question clear.. ?You can't access your hard disk yes/no ? | 07:44 |
| BlakJak | joebodo: I use my SD Reader for pics off my digicam so i was trying to avoid that, agree it's a future option tho | 07:44 |
| Xacarith | I may just resort to reinstalling again at this rate... | 07:44 |
| ardchoille | I've been using Linux since 2001 and Ubuntu since 2005. I had no idea information could be so out of date so quickly. | 07:44 |
| BlakJak | you could put swap on your SD as well if you wanted, to reduce write cycle on internal ssd | 07:44 |
| xTr3m3 | shadow420: use better the latest ubuntu release 8.10 ,include many fixes | 07:44 |
| Shadow420 | I am just not recommending upgrading I feel easier with a complete install | 07:44 |
| joebodo | BlakJak yeah - that could be a problem :) | 07:44 |
| SegFaultAX | ardchoille: well it is one of the most active distros atm afterall | 07:44 |
| Shadow420 | reinstall** | 07:44 |
| crdlb | _2: ok, then try the brute force way, I guess: 'sudo gconf-schemas --register /usr/share/gconf/schemas/*.schemas' | 07:44 |
| ardchoille | SegFaultAX: True | 07:44 |
| bazhang | ardchoille, many of the factoids are not up to date for ibex so dont feel bad (like !wifi) | 07:45 |

| geremy | BlakJak- looking to minimize ssd r/w? | 07:45 |
| BlakJak | geremy: evaluating the options | 07:45 |
| brain187 | can anyone tell me the best pvr linux software i am using sagetv now which i paid for but i want to know if there is anything better out | 07:45 |
| ardchoille | bazhang: yeah, I've been trying to submit updated stuff for the bot lately | 07:45 |
| vega | brain187: vdr | 07:45 |
| geremy | BlakJak: I did a bit of looking around about six months ago, ext2 seems to keep everything running alright and if you shut down atime you can keep your writes pretty low | 07:46 |
| BlakJak | geremy: im not sure how much effect the defaults will have on the degradation of the ssd, so trying to be conservative... without having to reinstall the whole box for the 8th time | 07:46 |
| bazhang | brain187, you mean like mythtv? | 07:46 |
| Shadow420 | well when I get mey new ubuntu cd I am dumping gutsy to Intrepid | 07:46 |
| vega | brain187: assuming digital broadcast | 07:46 |
| brain187 | yea like mythtv | 07:46 |
| bazhang | there is mythbuntu brain187 | 07:46 |
| geremy | BlakJak: if you have a high quality ssd you don't need to worry all that much. | 07:46 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-mythtv | 07:46 |
| Kinote | When I run the LiveCD in my DVDROM, I can access two of my three HD's. I cannot however install Ubuntu on them. That's about as stripped down and basic as I can get it, sorry mate. | 07:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | help, can't get my sound files/mp3 to play on any of the players, i've xine, audacious, audacity, amarok, vlc, and they just get stuck or crash if i click on any of the files | 07:47 |
| Shadow420 | I know this is off-topic but I am using my ps2 to talk to you all | 07:47 |
| BlakJak | geremy: and i have nfi what the factory supplied internal SSD is like in the way of quality ;-) | 07:47 |
| bazhang | Kinote, what exact errors do you get | 07:47 |

| brain187 | dose anyone want to connect to me media server is give me a compairison | 07:47 |
| _2 | crdlb ok that worked, i guess. but it didn't seem to affect the running gnome session in any way. | 07:47 |
| xTr3m3 | shadow420: why u didnt load intrepid from ubuntu.com?^^ burn on cd ,thats all :) | 07:47 |
| geremy | BlakJak: what device? Eee? | 07:47 |
| BlakJak | yeh | 07:47 |
| bazhang | CostaRicanQuaker, did you install the restricted-extras package | 07:47 |
| badstue | bazhang, but will i be able to burn the stuff down to a cd and make it bootable ? | 07:47 |
| joebodo | !sound | CostaRicanQuaker | 07:47 |
| ubottu | CostaRicanQuaker: 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 | 07:47 |
| kyle__ | how do i enable myself as a root user? or give a nonroot user permissions like a root user? | 07:48 |
| _2 | crdlb does it require a reload of gnome ? | 07:48 |
| rww | !sudo | kyle__ | 07:48 |
| ubottu | kyle__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 07:48 |
| bazhang | badstue, you might also check out unetbootin; are you on hardy or ibex | 07:48 |
| crdlb | _2: not sure, but you should probably try it :) | 07:48 |
| Shadow420 | well thats a pain my pc has enough problems just running | 07:48 |
| bazhang | kyle__, use sudo not root | 07:48 |
| FAJ | hi i am trying to get my dell inspiron 5100 laptop screen to turn off when i close the lid... how can i do that/ troubleshoot it | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, where's the volume control? | 07:48 |
| xTr3m3 | *gg* omg ok | 07:48 |
| badstue | bazhang, im on 8.10 ?! isnt it called intrepid ? | 07:48 |
| azfira | dewiq | 07:49 |
| xTr3m3 | 8.10= intrepid | 07:49 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker preferences -> volume control | 07:49 |
| bazhang | badstue, there is an option to create a usb disk in intrepid | 07:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can't see any alsa option on it | 07:49 |
| Kinote | ikonia: When I run the LiveCD in my DVDROM, I can access two of my three HD's. I cannot however install Ubuntu on them. That's about as stripped down and basic as I can get it, sorry mate. | 07:49 |

| kyle__ | ubottu i'm trying to enable myself to create xservers but it says i have to be root, in order to not need to be root i need to modify xwrapper.sonfig, but i can't figure out how to do that..... what do you think my best dirction to move would be? | 07:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:49 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker sorry - preferences -> sound | 07:49 |
| bazhang | kyle__, use sudo | 07:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | SegFaultAX, yes | 07:50 |
| geremy | kyle__, sudo | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i checked on the system monitor | 07:50 |
| azfira | jamela | 07:50 |
| _2 | crdlb no change not that i can tell anyway | 07:50 |
| badstue | bazhang, yup.. but i could really need a automatically bootable restore cd.. :) | 07:50 |
| kyle__ | so use sudo to modify xwrapper.config? | 07:50 |
| ferronica | i have PCI AverMedia TvTuner card with FM i want to listen to Radio only what application do i need for it??? | 07:50 |
| xTr3m3 | xp is really bad... i dont like windows -.- | 07:50 |
| Shadow420 | kyle sudo is the root access command for example sudo gedit /ect/apt/sources.list | 07:50 |
| joebodo | kyle__ man sudo | 07:51 |
| walalang | is this the help room for ubuntu??? | 07:51 |
| _2 | crdlb other than the desktop went from black to xorg mesh | 07:51 |
| SegFaultAX | kyle__: something like sudo vim xwrapper.conf | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, ok i clicked on alsa and i see that pcm, master, and cd are cranked | 07:51 |
| rww | walalang, yes :) | 07:51 |
| vindimy | hi | 07:51 |
| SegFaultAX | kyle__: assuming your in sudoers | 07:51 |
| badstue | hi | 07:51 |
| bazhang | badstue, well apart from cloning you can also remaster a livecd !remaster | 07:51 |
| vegombrei | badstue: is there a way to do that for ubuntu ?? like time-machine in mac ?? | 07:51 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker try the test buttons to ensure your sound is working | 07:51 |
| badstue | !remaster | 07:51 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, which test buttons? | 07:51 |
| walalang | oh thanks...I having a problem with flash player. it is installed , but somehow it won't work | 07:52 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker try the test buttons to ensure your sound is working (from preferences -> sound) | 07:52 |
| kyle__ | i'm so fail...... :( | 07:52 |
| joebodo | !flash | 07:52 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 07:52 |
| vindimy | srsly 1138 ppl and so little talk? | 07:52 |
| rww | I forget who in here recommended `Option "TexturedVideo" "off"` the other day, but if you're around, thanks! It works awesomely :D | 07:52 |
| badstue | vegombrei: i dont know.. | 07:52 |
| xTr3m3 | ubotto: thx is interesting | 07:52 |
| SegFaultAX | walalang: keep in mind that flash in linux is really bad right now | 07:52 |
| bazhang | vindimy, this is not a chat channel | 07:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, cant find the test buttons under sound | 07:52 |
| joebodo | rww that was me - good to hear | 07:52 |
| bazhang | vindimy, offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:52 |
| vindimy | bazhang: i guess so | 07:52 |
| vindimy | joebodo: i guess so | 07:52 |
| walalang | ubottu: thanks I'll try it | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | btw just opened a file on vlc and it progresses but no sound comes out joebodo | 07:53 |
| kyle__ | SegFaultAX, what does the 'vim' do i've never used that command before? | 07:53 |
| walalang | hope it works this this | 07:53 |
| vindimy | i can discuss ubuntu actually | 07:53 |
| vindimy | but lately been having fun with centos | 07:53 |
| SegFaultAX | kyle__: its an editor | 07:53 |
| vindimy | however, centos channel is dead | 07:53 |
| Flannel | kyle__: It's a text editor, you can use nano instead | 07:53 |
| bazhang | vindimy, this is for ubuntu support only NOT chat | 07:53 |
| nickName_ | How does one force xchat-gnome to connect to a single open tcp port for DCC RECV? | 07:53 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker if you open preferences->sound, you sound have a devices tab where you select the driver, beside each selection is a test button | 07:53 |
| rww | !offtopic | vindimy | 07:53 |
| ubottu | vindimy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 07:53 |
| vindimy | ok ok i have a question | 07:53 |
| Flannel | vindimy: Ubuntu chat is also in #ubuntu-offtopic, actually. | 07:53 |
| kyle__ | Flannel, nano thank you i think i will figure it out from there (wish me luck) | 07:53 |
| vindimy | this is for ubuntu devel. support, or for ubuntu usage support? | 07:54 |
| SegFaultAX | Flannel: unfortunately nano is terrible ;) | 07:54 |
| geremy | vindimy: users | 07:54 |
| geremy | SegFaultAX: vim | 07:54 |
| vindimy | geremy: i c | 07:54 |
| SegFaultAX | geremy: all the way | 07:54 |
| Flannel | SegFaultAX: Its a lot easier for newer users who just need to edit something. | 07:54 |
| Shadow420 | the channel is for the current release version of ubuntu Intrepid Ibex | 07:54 |
| === Tom_Davis is now known as JimmyDee | ||
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, on the volume control if i move up and down the buttons there's no sound | 07:54 |
| xTr3m3 | why is flash ,mp3 support and other in ubuntu restricted?? mp3 is completly free and the other formats also | 07:54 |
| vindimy | kthxbai | 07:55 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker if you open preferences->sound, you sound have a devices tab where you select the driver, beside each selection is a test button | 07:55 |
| Flannel | xTr3m3: mp3 isn't free at all. | 07:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | however if i play youtube on a browser there is sound | 07:55 |
| rww | Flannel, SegFaultAX: and for older users who forget keyboard shortcuts all the time, like me... | 07:55 |
| xTr3m3 | lame mp3 is free | 07:55 |
| SegFaultAX | Flannel: true, but they should learn The Way, before polluting their minds with lesser editors, or operating systems... like emacs | 07:55 |
| Flannel | SegFaultAX: No, that's not how we do things in this channel. | 07:55 |
| ay^ | xTr3m3: free has at least two meanings | 07:55 |
| geremy | SegFaultAX: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/06/206213 | 07:55 |
| ay^ | !free | xTr3m3 | 07:55 |
| ubottu | xTr3m3: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 07:55 |
| Shadow420 | restricted mean that it cant be redistributed with out license I think | 07:56 |
| Kinote | Can anyone help me troubleshoot a rather lengthly and complex problem? | 07:56 |
| Shadow420 | !restricted | 07:56 |
| ubottu | 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 | 07:56 |
| geremy | kinote: dont ask to ask, just ask | 07:56 |
| xTr3m3 | ok i understand | 07:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, ok i'm at the test buttons, what do i do now? click on test and then what? | 07:56 |
| southKorea | abc | 07:56 |
| southKorea | abc | 07:56 |
| SegFaultAX | geremy: heh, i read that, but back to the topic... | 07:56 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker see if you have sound correctly | 07:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | sound playback is on autodetect on the first option | 07:56 |
| Kinote | That's what I keep hearing, but the questions seem to get lost in the clutter. | 07:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i check that joebodo? | 07:57 |
| dannyzhu | :) | 07:57 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker it should make a sound | 07:57 |
| Flannel | Kinote: Not lost, people see them, but if no one knows the answer, they can't help. | 07:57 |
| xTr3m3 | all formats restricted ,but still in synapse available right? | 07:57 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: plus you spread out your questions over dozens of posts, but succinct | 07:57 |
| ikonia | Kinote: as I said to you early - drop the story and ask a short sharp question | 07:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, ok it worked, i switched everything to ALSA | 07:58 |
| Shadow420 | southKorea | !ubuntu | 07:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | now i just clicked on a sound file i'll let you know | 07:58 |
| Flannel | xTr3m3: Depends, but a good number of them are, yes. And even more are available in medibuntu, which is a third party repos for things like that. | 07:58 |
| Flannel | !medibuntu | xTr3m3 | 07:58 |
| ubottu | xTr3m3: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 07:58 |
| _2 | crdlb did setting that key manually make it some how readonly ? | 07:58 |
| Kinote | Alright. I have three HD's, when I boot into the Ubuntu LiveCD I can only access two of them, and I can't install Ubuntu on any of them. The installer dies at 58%, why? | 07:58 |
| _2 | crdlb cause i clicked set default on it and got this 'The application "gconf-editor" attempted to change an aspect of your configuration that your system administrator or operating system vendor does not allow you to change. Some of the settings you have selected may not take effect, or may not be restored next time you use the application. | 07:59 |
| _2 | ' | 07:59 |
| ikonia | Kinote: what happens when you try to access the 3rd disk | 07:59 |
| xTr3m3 | i think smplayer is good for ubuntu? | 07:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, amarok isn't playing the file | 07:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it gets stuck | 07:59 |
| Flannel | Kinote: Have you verified the CDs integrity? Have you tried the alternate CD? Are all three CDs SATA? IDE? What does `sudo fdisk -l` give you? (pastebin it) | 07:59 |
| Shadow420 | Kinote I think you could have a bad burned disc or corrupted iso | 07:59 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker i havent tried amarok, but you may be able to set sound options in it's preferences | 07:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok | 07:59 |
| badstue | Like Norton Ghost is used for windows.. what can be used as an alternative to ubuntu ? | 07:59 |
| Flannel | !backup | badstue | 08:00 |
| ubottu | badstue: There are many ways to back your system up.

| CostaRicanQuaker | i just opened it with vlc joebodo and it looks as tho it was playing but no soudn comes out | 08:00 |
| Kinote | The third disk, which is my primary HD with Windows XP on it reports that I need to run dskchk /f, however Recovery Center seems to lock up after about two hours of examining the drive. | 08:00 |
| |neon| | i need help, i been trying for a couple of days to get my desktop settings to stay after reboot, i can change them but after reboot it goes back to defaults, i tried using session manager but no luck, suggestion? thx | 08:00 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: possible hardware failure. perhaps the motherboard is dieing, or the ribbon cables are wobbly, heating issues, any number of hardware related failures | 08:00 |
| ikonia | Kinote: that suggests your disk/hardware is in a mess | 08:00 |
| Ayabara | I have a setup at home with my laptop (1400x1050) and a secondary 1680x1050 lcd. At work I use the same laptop with a 1600x1200 lcd. Is it possible to make Ubuntu detect and automatically adjust the resolution of the secondary screen? | 08:00 |
| crdlb | _2: "Set as default" is not something a user can do; that overrides the default value for that key for all users | 08:00 |
| Kinote | I've ran the LiveCD verification three times. Once on my CD ROM, and it's failed, and twice on my DVD ROM where it has passed both times. | 08:00 |
| Polysics | oh crap! | 08:01 |
| Polysics | where did my flash player go? | 08:01 |
| joebodo | neon what type of settings ? | 08:01 |
| xTr3m3 | norton ghost cd/dvd supports all filesystems | 08:01 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: you could also have huge portions of dead chunks/sectors, making the drives useless | 08:01 |
| Kinote | Heating isn't a problem, cables all seem firmly in place. | 08:01 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker take a look at these links | 08:01 |
| Kinote | How would I go about checking that, and repairing them if found? | 08:01 |
| ikonia | Kinote: if windows is not running chkdisk against it - then it looks like a hardware issue on that disk | 08:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, what do i do now? i switched everything to alsa and used the testers and wheni play the mp3 no sounds comes out | 08:01 |
| joebodo | !sound | CostaRicanQuaker | 08:01 |
| ubottu | CostaRicanQuaker: 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 | 08:01 |
| Flannel | Kinote: Try another computer all together (to verify the CD). | 08:01 |
| |neon| | like my theme, i am using the themes that came with the installation cd, just a darker one with a different border, no special themes or nothing like that | 08:02 |
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker im out of suggestions | 08:02 |
| Kinote | Alright, I'll go hurl it onto my other computer. | 08:02 |
| _2 | crdlb i see so it would have to be ran as superuser to use that. got it. | 08:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, i've already got the extended extras i think | 08:02 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: put the hdd's in another machine and try to install ubuntu, like i said it could be motherboard failure | 08:02 |
| Flannel | Kinote: also, how are your disks all connected? IDE? SATA? Which ones are on which cables, etc? | 08:02 |
| Shadow420 | Kinote it maybe possible you have drives going bad try defragmenting them after a scandisk | 08:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joebodo, is there a way of double checking though? that i've them enabled | 08:02 |
| joebodo | neon it's not livecd, is it ? | 08:02 |
| rww | CostaRicanQuaker, issue sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and see if it installs anything | 08:02 |
| |neon| | joebodo: no full hd install | 08:02 |

| ikonia | SegFaultAX: not on an ntfs drive | 08:03 |
| === Raydar is now known as cakey | ||
| joebodo | CostaRicanQuaker from what i can tell, your setup seems good - you can check in administration -> synaptics package manager to see if that package is installed | 08:04 |
| Polysics | why do i have a beige-colored box instead of flash clips in firefox? | 08:04 |
| Polysics | yesterday it was working :-( | 08:04 |
| Kinote | No other systems in my house have SATA connections. I believe the problem is in my primary drive, but I can't run chkdsk due to it locking up. I'm confused as to why all three drives, which were fine 16 hours ago all have massive failures. | 08:04 |
| SegFaultAX | ikonia: he said it failed during an install of ubuntu, and im guess he is using ext2/3 not ntfs | 08:04 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | rww, joebodo they're already installed | 08:04 |
| faryshta | giacomo_c, like which problems? | 08:05 |
| giacomo_c | and it seems to be something with gconf | 08:05 |
| joebodo | nachi_ if your coding, you should be using source code control - like svn | 08:05 |
| ikonia | Kinote: one drive probably has the failure, maybe hanging the bus | 08:05 |
| Polysics | joebodo, what about git? | 08:05 |
| faryshta | gnome on 8.10 is slower so far my friends told me. | 08:05 |
| homey | i had terrible time with ubuntu till i disabled serial ports, floppy, etc to free up irq's | 08:05 |
| giacomo_c | like, gnome leaves me with a black screen when i try to login with the gnome session | 08:05 |
| joebodo | Polysics ? | 08:05 |
| JimmyDee | is nachi_ doing website type programming? | 08:05 |

| zamba | how can i convert a file i know is in 8859-1 to unicode/utf-8? | 08:06 |
| giacomo_c | and when i run gconf, its completely blank | 08:06 |
| Kinote | You may be on to something, ikonia. When I attempt to install Ubuntu, step four (looking up the partitions and drives) takes about fifteen minutes. | 08:06 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: you might try unplugging 2 drives, and installing on the third. make sure its jumpers are set to auto or master | 08:06 |
| error404notfound | when I try to install some software via dpkg, I get : dpkg: status database area is locked by another process, how to remove it? I know there is no other installation going on... | 08:06 |
| joebodo | Polysics haven't tried git myself either - svn seems to do a pretty good job | 08:06 |
| faryshta | giacomo_c, that sounds more like graphic driver issue. | 08:06 |
| faryshta | which card you have giacomo_c | 08:06 |
| rww | faryshta, giacomo_c: considering the pastebin output, it looks like a gconf problem, not a driver issue | 08:07 |
| giacomo_c | i have an ati... but im able to use fluxbox with no problem, with full 3d support | 08:07 |
| Shadow420 | well got to go later everyone | 08:07 |
| Kinote | The third drive is my primary, which seems to be the main issue. It won't boot Windows, or respond to Ubuntu. | 08:07 |
| Shadow420 | Seeya bazhang | 08:07 |
| ikonia | Kinote: I think we have a winner | 08:07 |
| giacomo_c | i don't even know where to start in fixing my gconf though | 08:07 |
| rww | giacomo_c, try issuing sudo rm -rf .dbus/ from the command line | 08:07 |
| _2 | crdlb ok. that got me a check box for hiding the icons on the desktop so thanks. i still don't know why there are only three things in there tho. i just reinstalled gconf but why is it from "universe" ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/15202 | 08:07 |
| giacomo_c | rww: what will that do? | 08:07 |
| faryshta | error404notfound, that means you have open synaptic or the actualization manager, also you would be using apt-get in some other console. | 08:08 |
| JimmyDee | !windows | 08:08 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 08:08 |
| rww | giacomo_c, remove the .dbus directory from your home folder. Line 6 of your pastebin has an error about being unable to create a file in there | 08:08 |
| xTr3m3 | can ubuntu work with tv cards like: wintv nexus-s ? programs to use this? | 08:08 |
| giacomo_c | ah, i ran it, so what next rww? | 08:08 |
| JimmyDee | dernit what is the one about lost boot on windows after installing grub | 08:08 |
| error404notfound | faryshta: I am not, and I am the only one using the system... | 08:08 |
| walalang | ubottu thanks it's working now...it just buffles me whhat seems to be the problem | 08:08 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:08 |
| rww | giacomo_c, try logging in again and see if it still doesn't work | 08:08 |
| ikonia | xTr3m3: it can work with a lot of TV cards, and there are a few programs that can be used for TV program viewing | 08:08 |
| Kinote | So the failing primary drive is causing issues with the attempts to install Ubuntu on the other two? I can interact with them both fine from the LiveCD, but I can't install on 'em. | 08:08 |
| faryshta | ok, what about if you have open synaptic or the actualizatoin manager? | 08:08 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | rww, the extended extras are installed | 08:09 |
| * _2 </blinks> | 08:09 | |
| giacomo_c | should i restart or just kick back to the gdm and try using the gnome session? | 08:09 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and youtube has sound when i play it on a browser | 08:09 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i don't get why there's no sound when i play a file | 08:09 |
| JimmyDee | kinote when installing it runs parted, you are probably hangin on the bad drive | 08:09 |
| Polysics | CostaRicanQuaker, check the volume mixer | 08:09 |
| rww | giacomo_c, my theory is that dbus couldn't start because of some weirdness in that folder, so deleting it will fix the weirdness (the folder gets auto recreated), then gconf should work properly | 08:09 |
| leejongwook | ll | 08:09 |
| leejongwook | kk | 08:09 |
| Polysics | i had the output from some programs tagged as "side" | 08:09 |
| xTr3m3 | ikonia: thx ,i hope my card is supported ,i love the nexus-s (included hardware decoder) ;) | 08:09 |
| SegFaultAX | Kinote: that seems extremely unlikely, but its a possibility you could explore | 08:09 |
| rww | giacomo_c, not sure. you could just restart, to be sure :) | 08:09 |
| JimmyDee | Kinote: whereas with the live cd it does not | 08:10 |

| cilkay | Hello. I have a remote server with two SATA RAID 1 sets, the first 500GB onto which I've installed Ubuntu Hardy Server and the second on which there is an existing Windows 2003 Server. I didn't want to risk making a mistake and clobbering the RAID set with Windows so I had disconnected it when I had installed Ubuntu so Windows never got added to the GRUB menu.lst. | 08:10 |
| leejongwook | thanks ikonia :) nice to see you again :P c ya ~ | 08:10 |
| walalang | how come I cannot maximised my internet speed ? | 08:11 |
| Kinote | Should I unplug the assumed to be failing drive, and attempt another install of Ubuntu on my secondary and third drives? | 08:11 |
| crdlb | _2: no, it's fine to have it installed, but it's gconf2 that gnome uses now | 08:11 |
| joebodo | !grub | cilkay | 08:11 |
| ubottu | cilkay: 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 | 08:11 |
| SegFaultAX | JimmyDee: not at all, but he said the partition recognition does eventually finish (quit?) and continues to installation, then hangs at 58%. its unlikely that a dead master would cause an arbitrary failure like that | 08:11 |
| walalang | downloading is slow compared when I'm using Windows | 08:11 |
| cilkay | joebodo: I didn't lose GRUB after installing Windows. | 08:12 |
| Kinote | The LiveCD has been verified fine on my DVDROM, the computer I'm currently typing on, and two drives in my other computer. I think we can safely say it's not the issue. | 08:12 |

| walalang | both! | 08:12 |

| _2 | crdlb well reinstalled gconf2 also. it's from "main" | 08:13 |
| joebodo | cilkay the grubhowto has a section for reinstalling grub, i think that may help | 08:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and vlc plays but there's no sound emited | 08:13 |

| giacomo_c | same things as from the pastebin | 08:13 |
| walalang | what do you mean which connection? I'm new with linux | 08:13 |
| kyle__ | how is it i'm the ONLY user on MY laptop, and ubuntu says i'm not the owner? | 08:13 |
| faryshta | then I don't know :( if that would be only pages, the issue would be just the cache of windows is bigger than the of linux (which means you use more windows than linux) | 08:13 |
| giacomo_c | _2 yeah, im on intrepid | 08:13 |
| xTr3m3 | i mean ,isdn? dsl? dsl 6000? 16k? | 08:13 |

| rww | giacomo_c, http://pastebin.com/d93bfb1d | 08:14 |
| walalang | dsl and it's on 3mbps | 08:14 |
| Flannel | kyle__: Because as a regular user you don't own everything. That's a good thing. You can't edit all of the files by default (which means you're more secure) | 08:14 |
| giacomo_c | rww, im going to try reinstalling gconf and see if that helps | 08:15 |
| Bergcube | I am in the process of setting up eGroupware on Ubuntu 8.10 server. I want to do user authentication from M$ AD. I do not want the Ubuntu server to act as a DNS or LDAP server on the LAN. Egroupware says "Checking extension ldap is loaded or loadable: False". Does anybody know what package I should install to make eGroupware work without installing "too much"? | 08:15 |
| kyle__ | Flannel, but if i need to edit these files how do i log intothe 'owner' name to edit them? | 08:15 |
| SegFaultAX | kyle__: the sudo command allows you to temporarily run commands as a superuser, then revert when your done | 08:15 |
| rww | giacomo_c, lol, I just googled that error message, and the only result was your forum thread >.> | 08:15 |
| _2 | shoot. i reinstalled gconf3 and it made it worse in place of better ;/ | 08:15 |
| _2 | er 2 | 08:15 |
| xTr3m3 | ok ,not very fast but its a good connection then your problems lie elsewhere | 08:15 |
| SegFaultAX | kyle__: open a terminal and type 'man sudo' no quotes | 08:15 |
| Flannel | kyle__: You don't need to log in, you just ened to use sudo. sudo command does command as the super user. | 08:15 |
| Flannel | !sudo | kyle__ | 08:16 |
| ubottu | kyle__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 08:16 |
| giacomo_c | haha, rww, yeah, i tried to search google but no luck... :( | 08:16 |

| geremy | walalang: if you want virtualization, try virtualbox | 08:17 |
| _2 | ok where does "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml" come from ? | 08:17 |

| rww | walalang, no | 08:18 |
| xTr3m3 | not all | 08:18 |
| joebodo | what's linux ? | 08:18 |
| cilkay | walalang: If you have a CPU with the virtualization extensions, you can run qemu and whatever OS you run will run at very close to native speed. VMWare has some overhead, which may or may not be all that important for you. | 08:19 |

| xTr3m3 | guest: u have ask google? | 08:33 |
| costre | KX In synaptic that is | 08:33 |

| hakonau | Hi - newbie here :) Is there a f-spot channel somewhere? | 08:35 |
| KX | costre: Oh ok, I'm aware of Synanptic but it'd be a pain to check each package on there daily (updates tend to be daily... almost) to see the changes for each package | 08:36 |
| KX | I'll just forget about it and hope they fix it... | 08:36 |
| joebodo | !fspot | 08:36 |
| feng14 | joebodo, what can i do about it? | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fspot | 08:36 |
| joebodo | feng14 give the links a try and see if they help | 08:36 |
| KX | Here's one for you | 08:37 |
| reqqit_ | hakonau, you can install picassa | 08:37 |
| KX | What are Canonical gonna do when they get to letters of the alphabet like X, Y and Z? | 08:37 |
| feng14 | joebodo, ok i'll try | 08:37 |

| reqqit_ | Speaking of sound issues, I rarely notice but sometimes VLC won't play sound (an flv file) yet playing an flv in an embedded flash file does play the sound (in the same session) | 08:39 |
| cilkay | How can I tell if my system is using dmraid or not? lsmod doesn't show it. I have an Adaptec PERC SATA controller which I've used to create a RAID1 set. | 08:39 |
| _2 | hmmm instructions didn't work so well... aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop \n The following packages will be REMOVED: ubuntu-desktop | 08:39 |
| joebodo | !reqqit_ i heard miro plays flv fine | 08:39 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:39 |
| reqqit_ | I checked now, I have ALSA selected - is it a known issue that sound plays in browser but not in OS? It isn't continual, and might happen after vlc crashes sometimes. | 08:39 |
| JimmyDee | reqqit_: that would be that flash and vlc are using different sound handling routines | 08:39 |
| cilkay | There are dire warnings in GRUB's menu.lst about not using savedefault with dmraid. | 08:39 |
| xTr3m3 | gueat32009: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865 | 08:39 |
| joebodo | reqqit_ i heard miro plays flv fine | 08:40 |
| reqqit_ | thanks joebodo , JimmyDee , if it ever becomes a real problem I'll look into it more, and try miro too | 08:40 |
| Flannel | _2: You didn't follow the instructions. ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. Copy/paste the command here: (Make sure you use the one for your right ubuntu version): http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 08:40 |
| cilkay | And I really need to use savedefault because I want to reboot the machine into Windows and if I didn't get it right, I want it to fall back to Linux. | 08:40 |
| joebodo | reqqit_ i love and hate miro | 08:40 |
| _2 | flannel ? you mean the "manual" one ? there isn't one for dapper | 08:41 |
| BoltClock | flash player has been messing up my sound. once firefox plays a flash movie, whether it uses or does not use sound, every other program cant emit anymore sound. sometimes when i quit firefox the process becomes a zombie, or things like pidgin or gnome-terminal begin to crash and im forced to restart the computer, not just x. im using hardy. can anyone help? | 08:41 |
| _2 | Flannel oh different url | 08:42 |

| hakonau | Never mind, I found the F-spot channel on irc.gnome.org :) | 08:42 |
| _2 | Flannel do they think one needs to specify every package ? that's just silly | 08:44 |
| jeeves_Moss | what causes "time outs" on Samba? | 08:46 |
| _2 | libgtk2* would take most of those with it. and a very few other well selected libs would get the rest. | 08:46 |
| Flannel | _2: What? Its the most foolproof way to make sure you get everything. It's not all the packages, its all of the packages Ubuntu requires that Kubuntu doesn' | 08:46 |
| CorpseFeeder | what plugin do I need to install in firefox to view these VR images? http://www.majesticempire.com/virtualMajestic.php# | 08:46 |

| CorpseFeeder | what plays quicktime VR movies in firefox? | 08:48 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, got a sec to help me with this slow Samba box | 08:48 |
| JimmyDee | flannel I was just asking if anyone knew what played quicktime in firefox | 08:48 |
| drwhen | mplayer | 08:49 |
| xTr3m3 | yes | 08:49 |
| xTr3m3 | or smplayer | 08:49 |
| drwhen | I think mplayer has a plugin for firefox | 08:49 |
| CorpseFeeder | right now gnome mplayer tries to play it and it just flashes up a sequence of still images. | 08:49 |
| Flannel | jeeves_Moss: I'm not a samba guy, but I can wave my arms and pretend if you would like. | 08:49 |
| jeeves_Moss | what should be the speed of a Samba transfer internally on a 100Mb network | 08:49 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, naaa, that's ok | 08:49 |
| xTr3m3 | smplayer (linux) = ~ media player classic cinema edition ,in windows | 08:50 |
| Flannel | jeeves_Moss: Have you tried #samba? | 08:50 |
| lobaman2 | hello. i would to execute my "command.sh" everyday at 2pm and 8pm. how can i do that? | 08:50 |
| drwhen | lobaman2: setting up a cron | 08:51 |
| lobaman2 | 0 14,20 * * * sudo ./media/disk/mysqldata_sh/command.sh | 08:52 |
| lobaman2 | ive tried that. | 08:52 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, yes. many times. it's dead in there | 08:52 |
| lobaman2 | but it doesnt executing at all. | 08:52 |
| CorpseFeeder | I already have mplayer plugin. The quicktime vr movies still don't play. | 08:52 |
| lobaman2 | command.sh is 0777 already. | 08:53 |
| jpablanche | i already install netbeans in ubuntu how can i uninstall it? | 08:53 |
| xTr3m3 | qiucktime is bad ,i hope quicktime died in future | 08:53 |
| _2 | lobaman2 not sudo but root and not ./media but /msdia | 08:53 |
| CorpseFeeder | someone go to this page http://www.majesticempire.com/virtualMajestic.php# and see if they can work out what I need to view the VR images. | 08:53 |
| lobaman2 | if i try to execute it like this. $./media/disk/mysqldata_sh/command.sh and it was executing | 08:54 |
| _2 | lobaman2 0 14,20 * * * root /media/disk/mysqldata_sh/command.sh | 08:54 |
| lobaman2 | _2 : you mean like this ..... "0 14,20 * * * /media/disk/mysqldata_sh/command.sh" | 08:54 |
| jpablanche | please kindly tell me how to uninstall netbeans | 08:54 |
| lobaman2 | oh ok | 08:55 |
| lobaman2 | my time now is 2:55pm. i want to execute it in 2:57pm. so of course i will change it like "57 14,20 ...." correct? | 08:55 |
| xTr3m3 | corpse: sudo ap-get ubuntu-restricted-extras ,u have test this? | 08:55 |
| _2 | lobaman2 yep | 08:56 |

| CorpseFeeder | xTr3m3: I already have that installed. | 08:57 |
| * _2 notes that for some reason, people have more trouble understanding what "user" means in crontab than anyother part of it... | 08:57 | |
| lobaman2 | ok 1 minute. i hope it will work. | 08:57 |
| lobaman2 | _2: i tried it. "58 14,19 * * * root /media/disk/mysqldata_sh/command.sh" | 08:59 |
| lobaman2 | it doesnt work. | 08:59 |
| Flannel | You don't specify a user in your crontab, only the system crontab. | 08:59 |
| azfira | dewi | 08:59 |
| lobaman2 | it was 2:59 now. and i think the script wasnt executed. | 09:00 |
| reasonpun | chmod 755 and try again | 09:00 |

| Flannel | lobaman2: Do you have a newline at the end of your file? (a blank line following the entry?) | 09:00 |
| CorpseFeeder | Is http://www.majesticempire.com/virtualMajestic.php# just yet another one of those web pages that doesn't work in linux? ...or is there hope in finding a plugin that will display the images correctly? | 09:00 |
| _2 | ummm prolly cause udev is not running | 09:00 |
| tynar | i can't run sudo apt-get <package> it gives an error invalid operation. What might be the reason? | 09:00 |
| Flannel | tynar: apt-get install package | 09:01 |
| azfira | dewi | 09:01 |
| reasonpun | sudo apt-get update first | 09:01 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, do you know off the top of your head what the rsync syntax is to update ONLY the files that have changed? | 09:01 |
| Flannel | azfira: Can we help you? | 09:01 |
| jpablanche | just try this apt-get update first | 09:01 |

| xTr3m3 | corps u need the quicktime plugin to play quicktime vr... i see no alternatives | 09:02 |
| tynar | developers, which programming IDE would you advice for C | 09:02 |
| reasonpun | only gedit for c,python,java,php ^_^ | 09:03 |
| CorpseFeeder | xTr3m3: is there a quicktime plugin for linux.. or are you saying there is no solution for linux? | 09:03 |
| Flannel | jeeves_Moss: Nope, Ive always gotta go to the manpage | 09:03 |
| jeeves_Moss | ok, thanks. | 09:04 |
| _2 | Flannel and lobaman2 i didn't see anything specifying user or system crontab i probably falsely assumed system ? | 09:04 |
| lobaman2 | Flannel: tried your suggestion. still doesnt work. | 09:04 |
| tynar | reasonpun, i cannot find the include files? where are they?\ | 09:04 |
| lobaman2 | i have 2 blank lines at the end. | 09:04 |
| Flannel | lobaman2: Whats your line again? | 09:04 |
| lobaman2 | 04 17,19 * * * root /media/disk/mysqldata_sh/automysqlbackup.sh | 09:05 |
| _2 | lobaman2 also user or system crontab ? | 09:05 |
| lobaman2 | i tried to input my cron. via command like this. $sudo crontab -e | 09:05 |
| azfira | hey | 09:05 |
| xTr3m3 | firefox is installed in ubuntu ,and qiucktime plugins are available for all browsers... check addons search | 09:06 |
| _2 | lobaman2 ok that will be root's user crontab and you need to dropt the "root" from the line. | 09:06 |
| _2 | drop | 09:07 |
| lobaman2 | so it should be like this. "07 17,19 * * * /media/disk/mysqldata_sh/automysqlbackup.sh" | 09:07 |
| walalang | does anyone here tried using JAP? | 09:07 |
| lobaman2 | ok. it work now. i tried this. "07 17,19 * * * sh /media/disk/mysqldata_sh/automysqlbackup.sh" with "sh" | 09:08 |
| _2 | lobaman2 if you want it to go at 7 minutes after 5 and seven minutes after 7 each day | 09:08 |

| tynar | Do C header files come by default in hardy? | 09:08 |
| Flannel | jpablanche: How did you install it? | 09:08 |
| Flannel | tynar: No | 09:08 |
| joebodo | jpablanche how did you install it | 09:08 |
| _2 | lobaman2 welcome. and sorry for assuming you were working on the system crontab rather than the user one. | 09:09 |
| Flannel | tynar: install build-essential | 09:09 |
| CorpseFeeder | anyone know where I can find quicktime browser plug-ins on Apple's site.. I just keep getting redirected in an eternal circle of Mac and Windows download links :( | 09:09 |
| jpablanche | i install it through terminal | 09:09 |
| Flannel | jpablanche: with apt-get? | 09:09 |
| jpablanche | yes | 09:09 |
| tynar | Flannel, suggest IDE for C | 09:09 |
| _2 | lobaman2 that was a bad assumption on my part, and cost you several minutes. | 09:09 |
| [mbm] | tynar: apt-get install buil-essential | 09:09 |
| Flannel | jpablanche: sudo apt-get remove package | 09:09 |
| Flannel | tynar: Anjuta I hear is pretty good | 09:09 |
| lobaman2 | no thats ok man. at least i know something new. :) | 09:09 |
| jpablanche | package means ? | 09:09 |
| jpablanche | the package i install it? | 09:09 |
| Flannel | jpablanche: Whatever the package name was.. You installed it with: sudo apt-get install package | 09:10 |
| EMPulse | ok guys | 09:10 |
| tynar | Flannel, did you hear the KDevelop? | 09:10 |
| jpablanche | in terminal how can i see all packages intalled? | 09:10 |
| [mbm] | jpablanche: dpkg --get-status | 09:10 |
| jpablanche | alrigght | 09:10 |
| [mbm] | er, --get-selections | 09:10 |
| tynar | [mbm] if I install build essential, where the files will be copied? into /usr/include? | 09:11 |
| jpablanche | okay thanks people | 09:12 |
| reasonpun | see you | 09:12 |
| [mbm] | tynar: yep, that's the standard location for header files on a unix system | 09:12 |
| [mbm] | not that it particularly matters, since that's also the default location to search for header files | 09:13 |
| tynar | tnx | 09:13 |
| tynar | which softwares are used to change resolution? | 09:13 |
| tynar | I haven't tried xorgconfig yet, is it the correct one? | 09:13 |
| [mbm] | tynar: you mean from a user perspective, or are you asking how it really works? | 09:14 |
| Qebafhzn | Hi. Luser question: if you install ubuntu on a different partition, how do you uninstall it and reclaim it to Windows? | 09:14 |
| tynar | Qebafhzn, delete partitions from compmgmt.msc | 09:14 |
| Qebafhzn | tynar: What? | 09:15 |
| CorpseFeeder | this is hopeless..l I just keep getting redirected to windows or mac links. Is there really a quicktime plugin for linux firefox or is xTr3m3 dreaming? | 09:15 |
| Flannel | Qebafhzn: Use a partition editor and remove it, then expand the NTFS partition | 09:15 |
| Qebafhzn | Flannel: Oh. Any good ones then? | 09:15 |
| [mbm] | Qebafhzn: from windows, right click on the my computer icon, go down to drive management and it'll show you a bar graph of the partitions on the disk; select the linux one (which will be shown as unknown) and reformat | 09:15 |
| tynar | Qebafhzn, first remove grub, then from windows run compmgmt.msc, there you will find the hard drive management, delete 3 linux partitions | 09:16 |
| Flannel | CorpseFeeder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Non-Native%20Media%20Formats | 09:16 |
| Qebafhzn | [mbm]: I'm using Vista. | 09:16 |
| Qebafhzn | tynar: Where is compmgmt.msc? | 09:16 |
| [mbm] | Qebafhzn: it's done the same way in vista, they just hid the my computer icon ;) .. also be sure to to remoev grub first | 09:16 |
| Qebafhzn | I didn't install it yet but w/e | 09:17 |
| [mbm] | Qebafhzn: that's the name of the management control .. you can type that into the start->run | 09:17 |
| _2 | crdlb i have got gconf working now have tons of junk under "gconftool-2 --recursive-list /apps/nautilus/preferences" dbus was the answer seems gconf needs it. | 09:17 |
| Qebafhzn | [mbm]: Oh | 09:17 |
| Lunar_Lamp | I'm using Ibex (an upgrade from hardy), and my network-manager applet only shows up when I'm using wireless, and not wifi connections. I want to change my network properties, but now have no idea how I can do this,. | 09:18 |
| _2 | crdlb just an update ^ | 09:18 |
| tynar | Qebafhzn, first restore old MBR from grub options, seconde right click computer, then remove linux partitions, add them to your windows partition that's all | 09:18 |
| CorpseFeeder | Flannel: that doesn't help me. I already have all that installed. The problem is mplayer plugin is trying to play the quicktime VR movies as normal movies, so I just get a sequence of still images flash up instead of a pseudo 3d VR image. | 09:18 |
| xTr3m3 | corpse use flannels link ,sry there is no plugin for linux but it can run with wine-,crossover linux | 09:18 |
| Qebafhzn | I get it now, thanks | 09:18 |
| tynar | [mbm], I want to improve my resolution, how can I do that | 09:18 |
| [mbm] | Lunar_Lamp: run nm-connection-editor | 09:18 |
| mEck0 | hi! is there an application with which you can draw set circles? (set theory) | 09:19 |
| CorpseFeeder | xTr3m3: I've tried running a browser in wine and it slows the computer down to a crawl :( | 09:19 |
| xTr3m3 | low pc? | 09:19 |
| [mbm] | tynar: easy way is system->prefs->screen res | 09:19 |
| [mbm] | CorpseFeeder: why would you do that? | 09:19 |
| Lunar_Lamp | [mbm]: when I try to make any changes (or even if I make no change), it says "updating connection manager failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.92 - connection update not supported (read only).." | 09:20 |
| CorpseFeeder | [mbm]: I wouldn't. But I was trying to find a way to view a quicktime VR in linux. | 09:20 |
| tynar | [mbm] the maximum resolution is 8006 | 09:20 |
| tynar | x600 here | 09:20 |
| [mbm] | Lunar_Lamp: that's because of /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings and the fact yoru interface was previously configured using the /etc/network/interfaces | 09:21 |
| tynar | i have upgraded my ubuntu ! hope the resolution will be improved ( | 09:21 |
| tynar | ) | 09:21 |
| jsurfer | how can I create a new alias for a script and have it receive the additinal parameters? | 09:21 |
| Lunar_Lamp | [mbm]: right, ok, so how do I fix it then? | 09:22 |
| === Aa_Opie is now known as teguh | ||
| jsurfer | i want to create an alias for php... | 09:22 |
| xTr3m3 | u can test this: load media player classic cinema edition... start it with wine and test with quicktime VR | 09:22 |
| jsurfer | when I run php, I woudl have php -c /path/to/new/php.ini | 09:22 |
| CorpseFeeder | what is media player classic cinema edition? | 09:23 |
| [mbm] | Lunar_Lamp: drawing a blank, but I believe it was to remove the interface from the old /etc/network/interfaces, change the managed line in nm-system-settings.conf to true and then to add the interface to network manager making sure to use the mac address .. ot atleast that should be enough to google the real solution | 09:23 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: edit your ~/.bashrc and add: alias php="php -c ...." | 09:24 |
| _2 | jsurfer echo '/path/to/origenal/script.sh arguments ' > /path/to/new/script.sh | 09:24 |
| _2 | jsurfer oh alias newname='/path/to/script.php args' | 09:25 |
| xTr3m3 | corpse: this is an universal player in windows to play all formats who exists ,its only 1 exe file (included the player ,codecs and so on) | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | well, I was thinking about the arguments | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | i need to run phpdoc or anything | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | phing, xinc | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | let me try the suggestions | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | it's because im on a shared server | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | and I dont have access to the client php.ini | 09:26 |
| jsurfer | so I created another php.ini under my account and I updated whatever i wanted (including new modules and include_path) | 09:27 |
| _2 | jsurfer you can also make it dynamic by making it a function if needed. function newname() { all; the commands && args ; you want || in here ; } | 09:27 |
| xTr3m3 | http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ | 09:27 |
| Wicked | anyone know why when i goto play videos sometimes i get a back screen and it says this in the console: X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11 | 09:27 |
| xTr3m3 | corpse: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ | 09:27 |
| jsurfer | _2: well, the only thing is the client version... I just want to configure phing | 09:28 |
| jsurfer | and xinc, phpdoc, propel, etc | 09:28 |
| jsurfer | i just want to make sure whenever I type php | 09:28 |
| jsurfer | it opens the correct php.ini | 09:28 |
| jsurfer | and runs whatever i ttype | 09:28 |
| bastid_raZor | !enter | 09:28 |
| [mbm] | Wicked: 'insufficient resources' translates to 'out of memory' | 09:28 |

| swuboo | Does anyone know how to fix it if nm-applet simply doesn't possess an icon? There's an extremely narrow blank space in the notification area I can click on if I aim just right, but no icon. | 09:28 |
| _2 | jsurfer right that's what i'm talking about. | 09:28 |
| jsurfer | ok... let me update the .bashrc with the alias | 09:29 |
| Wicked | [mbm], i kinda figured it was something like that but....i havent had issues in the past... | 09:29 |
| murlidhar | swuboo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure nm-applet | 09:29 |
| swuboo | murlidhar: Huh. Not sure why I didn't think of that, but I'll give that a go. Thanks. | 09:29 |
| murlidhar | swuboo: or try reloading the panel | 09:29 |
| swuboo | murlidhar: Reloaded it several times, doesn't work. It moves the other icons above a fifth of an icon's width. | 09:30 |
| [mbm] | Wicked: try turning off the visual effects | 09:30 |
| _2 | jsurfer you might want to put it in ~/.profile bash reads .bashrc when non-interactive and .profile when interactive iirc | 09:30 |
| murlidhar | swuboo: no idea then i don't use gnome-panel or the nm-applet | 09:30 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there. Does anyone recommend any PDF creation software that can convert a webpage to PDF, and that alllows me to specify a filename to save under too? | 09:30 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: there are addons in firefox that can do it | 09:31 |
| _2 | html2pdf | 09:31 |
| Wicked | hmm ok [mbm] ill try that....but i wonder why it would affect this | 09:31 |
| jsurfer | _2 I tried this and dit not work alias php=php -c /home/group8/shortcuts %args | 09:31 |
| AdvoWork | murlidhar, such as? ive tried loads, none seem to be able to do it properly | 09:32 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: let me check | 09:32 |
| _2 | jsurfer have to use quotes | 09:32 |
| AdvoWork | thanks | 09:32 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: apt-cache search html2pdf | 09:32 |
| jsurfer | _2: alias php="php -c /home/group8/shortcuts args" | 09:33 |
| jsurfer | doesn't work | 09:33 |
| jsurfer | compains about args | 09:33 |
| jsurfer | I know that args should be an env variable | 09:33 |
| jsurfer | $1 works? | 09:33 |
| _2 | jsurfer alias php='/usr/bin/php -c /home/group8/shortcuts' # any command line args will be appended | 09:33 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: prper use of quotes is important, alias php="php -c /home/group8/shortcuts " | 09:33 |
| jsurfer | ohh cool | 09:34 |
| jsurfer | let me try it | 09:34 |
| swuboo | dpkg-reconfigure doesn't restore nm-applets' icon, I'm afriad. It's still invisible. | 09:34 |

| jsurfer | _2, [mbm]: thanks guys! | 09:34 |
| swuboo | murlidhar: Eh, it's alright. I just need to remember to click four pixels to the right of the bar delineating the notification area. | 09:35 |
| jsurfer | but | 09:35 |
| greeenchap | hello all, what are the rules here ? | 09:35 |
| greeenchap | I just opstmy problem ?. | 09:35 |
| jsurfer | _2 I thought fixing php would automatically fix phpdoc | 09:35 |
| greeenchap | Ijust opst my problem ?* | 09:35 |
| murlidhar | !rules | greeenchap | 09:35 |
| ubottu | greeenchap: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 09:35 |
| jsurfer | in theory, phpdoc calls php, which is registered under my user | 09:36 |
| jsurfer | so | 09:36 |
| murlidhar | greeenchap: yes | 09:36 |
| greeenchap | already done, that's why I'm here | 09:36 |
| jsurfer | phpdoc still behaves like before (without the alias) | 09:36 |
| jsurfer | Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/phpdoc.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/group8/pear/bin/phpdoc | 09:36 |
| NightDragon | ....*sigh*, if only my office ran off of ubuntu | 09:36 |
| murlidhar | greeenchap: just ask the question | 09:36 |
| AdvoWork | murlidhar, does that work by ie file print> | 09:36 |
| AdvoWork | murlidhar, apt-cache search html2pdf returned nothing :S | 09:36 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: yes it does but a it sometimes is buggy | 09:37 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: the alias is just a shell shothand notation; it only applies to things run directly from the shell | 09:37 |
| jsurfer | [mbm] ops... my bad... :( | 09:37 |
| jsurfer | so | 09:37 |
| greeenchap | hello ubuntu fans, I have a problem with SAMBA. described here: | 09:37 |
| greeenchap | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284572 | 09:37 |
| jsurfer | I have this situation | 09:37 |
| jsurfer | where I want to update the include_path from client php.ini | 09:37 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: another trick would be to create a small shell script called "php" and set the $PATH variable so it finds your script before the real php | 09:37 |
| jsurfer | and I thought I could bypass it | 09:37 |
| jsurfer | yes | 09:38 |
| _2 | jsurfer one more note. when using an alias you can't add dynamic args $* but they will be append to the expanded command. however when using functions you can use variables function testing(){ if echo "$*" | grep -v [0-9] ;then echo "has numbers" ;else : run some command ;fi ; } # example. | 09:38 |
| jsurfer | that's what I have | 09:38 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: you can try . print to file in firefox | 09:38 |
| jsurfer | ops | 09:38 |

| jsurfer | _2 [mbm] I will try via shell script | 09:38 |
| ikonia | tynar ubuntu will alert you | 09:38 |
| jsurfer | under path | 09:38 |
| jsurfer | I had done but incorrectly | 09:38 |
| DASPRiD | Hey, had anyone yet problems with running Gwibber on Ubuntu 8.10? I first had the problem that libffi.so.4 was gone, so i symlinked libffi.so.5, but now after the program starts, the gui appears for half a second and then i get a segmentation fault | 09:38 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD because it's linked against the wrong libraries | 09:39 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD you can't just change the lymlinks like that | 09:39 |
| [mbm] | tynar: you can run update-manager, although by default you get a (!) icon next to the clock when there's soemthing to update | 09:39 |
| jsurfer | _2 [mbm] Using as a shell, I do need to pass the parameters ? | 09:39 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: yes, use $* for the arguments | 09:39 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, so i should compile gwibber from source instead of installing it from apt? | 09:39 |
| jsurfer | _2 [mbm] cool | 09:40 |
| jsurfer | let me try | 09:40 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: http://www.htm2pdf.co.uk/?url= | 09:40 |
| tynar | [mbm], i checked it and my software is not in the list, I have installed it from packages.ubuntu.com | 09:40 |
| _2 | jsurfer actually in a shell script you "dont have to" but can pass all command line args as "$@" | 09:40 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: http://3spots.blogspot.com/2006/05/html-to-pdf-bookmarklet.html | 09:40 |
| tynar | [mbm], but I know that new version of the soft is released | 09:40 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD you installed it from apt and it had missing libs ? | 09:40 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, yes | 09:41 |
| jsurfer | which php still takes me to the old php | 09:41 |
| jsurfer | :( | 09:41 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, libffi4 doesnt exist in 8.10 anymore, tho it is replaced by lib32ffi4 | 09:41 |
| DASPRiD | trying to install that one | 09:41 |
| _2 | jsurfer which always will | 09:41 |
| Kitkat | using the 8.10 live CD I selected to install ubuntu onto one of my NTFS partitions (It's the only thing in there), could somebody please point me in the right direction to enable me to save any information, programs etc.. during that session to disk? | 09:41 |
| _2 | jsurfer it only searches the path and in path order | 09:41 |
| [mbm] | tynar: there's a delay between when the source is updated and when the new version shows up on the ubuntu servers | 09:41 |
| greeenchap | no volunteer for my SAMBA problem ? | 09:41 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, hm, can't instal lib32ffi4 | 09:41 |
| [mbm] | tynar: if it doesn't show up when you run update-manager, it's not on the ubuntu servers yet | 09:42 |
| tynar | greeenchap, what's wrong? | 09:42 |
| CorpseFeeder | I can't get media player classic to run under wine. It gives a crash and bactrace. I think it is time to give up on quicktime VR. | 09:42 |
| jsurfer | _2 I know, but Im trying to by pass php execution with another one that uses another php.ini configuration | 09:42 |
| tynar | [mbm], how can I add manually new servers for update manager? | 09:42 |
| greeenchap | tynar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284572 | 09:42 |
| jsurfer | so the PATH is updated with the value of the dir that contains my new php | 09:42 |
| jsurfer | _2 so the PATH is updated with the value of the dir that contains my new php | 09:42 |
| murlidhar | AdvoWork: or add this to your bookmarks and label it as savepdf or something javascript:void(location.href='http://www.htm2pdf.co.uk/?url='+escape(location.href)) | 09:43 |
| _2 | jsurfer if you are going to use a script ammend your path like this export PATH="~/bin:$PATH" and put any personal scripts in ~/bin | 09:43 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: usually looks like: export PATH=/home/jsurfer/bin:$PATH | 09:43 |
| jsurfer | ops, so which ones has preferences? I added PATH first | 09:43 |
| _2 | the tild ~ expands to your home. | 09:43 |
| jsurfer | maybe that's why | 09:43 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: make sure that when you run php from the script that you type the full path so you don't end up executing the script over and over | 09:44 |
| tynar | greeenchap, I am not an expert of samba, I used it on solaris | 09:44 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: the first directory in PATH has preference | 09:44 |
| greeenchap | ok thanks for your look | 09:44 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, any idea what cold be wrong? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD I would repot that as a bug straight away in launchpad | 09:44 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD: if what you say is correct the package has the wrong dependencies | 09:45 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, alright, going to do so | 09:45 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD I assume this package came from an ubuntu repo - not a 3rd part | 09:45 |
| ikonia | part | 09:45 |
| ikonia | party | 09:45 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, yes, 3rd party | 09:46 |
| _2 | jsurfer also of note, the way linux works; if you execute something in /usr/bin/ and then make a new command of the same name in another dir until you logout of that shell it will continue to execute the one that it already found and executed, even though there is another earlier in your path now. unless you specify the full path that is. | 09:46 |
| ikonia | !info gwibber | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Package gwibber does not exist in intrepid | 09:46 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD then speak to the 3rd party maintainers | 09:46 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, tho it has a launchpad as well | 09:46 |
| jsurfer | well, the path updated | 09:46 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD: they need to upadte it | 09:46 |
| _2 | jsurfer /usr/bin is example only. ^ | 09:46 |
| _2 | any path | 09:46 |
| jsurfer | _2 [mbm] now I think I have a problem with arguments | 09:46 |
| jsurfer | _2 yeah I got that | 09:47 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/292240 | 09:47 |
| jsurfer | the problem now is that the command hangs | 09:47 |
| DASPRiD | looks like the bug is reported yet | 09:47 |
| RinTinTigger | how do i get my windows burning if i close them? | 09:47 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD your sorted then | 09:47 |
| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 09:47 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:47 |
| jsurfer | _2: php -c /home/group8/php.ini $* | 09:47 |
| jsurfer | which php = /home/mydir/location_to_new_php | 09:47 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, in the meantime, what could i do now? | 09:48 |
| _2 | jsurfer ah a fork bomb | 09:48 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD hassle the package maintainer to get it done | 09:48 |
| DASPRiD | installing from source? | 09:48 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: told you to use the full path so you didn't execute your script repeatedly | 09:48 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD: I would not advise that unless you are %100 confident with what you are doing | 09:48 |
| _2 | jsurfer welcome to the OOPS of not specifying full path in your script. | 09:48 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, i often install stuff from source, thats not the problem ;) | 09:48 |
| jsurfer | wait, but the script is under PATH | 09:48 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD then why are you asking what to do ? | 09:49 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: your script is called php, your script then runs php, which according to $PATH is the same script ... | 09:49 |
| _2 | jsurfer yep. and inside the script you need the full path to the /usr/bin/php | 09:49 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, probably you would have an idea how to fix the apt-installed gwibber | 09:49 |
| jsurfer | ohh sure | 09:49 |
| _2 | :) | 09:49 |
| ikonia | DASPRiD if you build software yourself you can see the problem with the 3rd party installed version | 09:49 |
| jsurfer | _2 [mbm] Im dump sorry :P | 09:49 |
| DASPRiD | ikonia, because installing gwibber from source is pita | 09:49 |
| jsurfer | _2 [mbm] makes complete sense | 09:49 |

| swuboo | murlidhar: Puttering around launchpad cleared it up for me. The problem was an old /etc/network/interfaces presumably left over from Hardy; because it defined all the interfaces, Network Manager couldn't see any connections to manage, so the icon simply didn't bother showing up. | 09:50 |

| rdz | hi all. how to mount a smbfs share on ubuntu hardy with the commandline? it works well on mac osx, but didn't figure out how to do it with hardy. something simple as that should just work, shouldn't it? | 10:08 |
| jsurfer | i waited for 10min | 10:08 |
| jsurfer | nobody replied | 10:08 |
| FloodBot3 | jsurfer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | jsurfer: just because no-one replies doesn't mean try other random channels | 10:08 |
| ikonia | jsurfer: that sounsd like the best channel for it please. | 10:08 |
| jsurfer | sure | 10:08 |
| SlimeyPete | deus_: is the admin group in the /etc/sudoers file, and not commented out? | 10:09 |
| rdz | nautilus also not able to mount it | 10:09 |
| jsurfer | no prblem | 10:09 |
| jsurfer | thanks | 10:09 |
| _2 | rdz smbmount blah blah | 10:09 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: ok, that is known as an interpreter; it tells the kernel how to execute the file, which in this case means "run /ur/bin/php and give it the filename" .. since you can't change the header, the only thing you can do is eecute php yourself and pass it in the filename of the executable | 10:09 |
| ikonia | _2: smbmount is depriciated | 10:09 |
| [mbm] | jsurfer: (or make your own copy of the script with a different header) | 10:09 |
| _2 | ikonia ok. then mount -t smb ? | 10:09 |
| deus_ | SlimeyPete: yes | 10:09 |
| ikonia | _2: you got it | 10:09 |
| jsurfer | yeah [mbm] it will end up being the same thing | 10:09 |
| jsurfer | thanks a lot | 10:09 |

| ikonia | co-: type "/topic" to get an idea of the channel topic | 10:14 |
| ikonia | deus_: your user is not in the admin group | 10:14 |
| SlimeyPete | Rumi: run 'glxgears | grep dri' to check if dri is enabled | 10:14 |
| deus_ | apparently | 10:14 |
| deus_ | ikonia: but when i ran useradd -G admin deus it said it was allready there | 10:14 |
| _2 | jsurfer long undesirable way, but would probably work. P1=/dir/where/existing/php_scripts ;for Q in $P1/* ;do sed 's="#!/usr/bin/php"="#!~/bin/php"=' $Q > ~/bin/`basename $Q` ;done #ugly and assumes that only php scripts are in the $P1 | 10:14 |

| brett_ | hey all... i have just upgraded to 8.10 today and having no end of problems with gdm/kdm not starting properly when trying to use nvidia driver (both packaged and nvidia's version). just keeps bombing up after coming up with the nvidia splash screen and eventually giving me the failsafe option to fix my graphics problems. but if i just "startx" it works perfectly. any pointers? | 10:28 |
| ph8 | i can't find a way around it atm, i have 3d accell (direct rendering) - what am i missing? | 10:28 |
| ph8 | brett_: The automatic nvidia installation failed for me (drivers installed, Xorg.conf was rubbish) - I can pastebin my working 3 screen setup if it helps? | 10:28 |
| Tidus | brett_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 10:28 |
| ferronica | ikonia: you mean i can't use my tvtuner under linux :( | 10:28 |
| ph8 | or try what Tidus said | 10:28 |
| ikonia | ferronica is it supported ? | 10:28 |
| ph8 | but i doubt it'll work with the drivers it'll just reset you to a default | 10:29 |
| Tidus | brett_: then reactivate the nvidia drivers if needed | 10:29 |
| Tidus | under 8.10 mine comes right up | 10:29 |
| ferronica | ikonia: i googled lot but didn't found specific topic about it | 10:29 |
| ph8 | has anyone solved the "composite extension is not available" error in intrepid? when i try to enable 'extra' options in appearance -- i can't find a way around it atm, i have 3d accell (direct rendering) - what am i missing?? | 10:29 |
| ph8 | mine comes up, but the activation doesn't reconfig X properly | 10:29 |
| brett_ | ph8: thanks i'd love to see your setup if poss | 10:29 |
| Tidus | ph8: what video card? | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | brett_: try editting your xorg.conf to use vesa driver then have a look at logs and such, you may need to reinstall the nvidia driver. or you can try envyng-gtk | 10:29 |
| ikonia | ferronica thats what you need to find, if it's supoprted or not, if it's not supported you can't use it | 10:29 |
| brett_ | tidus: thanks will try now | 10:29 |

| ubottu | DarkestSoul: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 10:33 |

| brett_ | after trying a reconfigure of xserver-xorg and reactivating the nvidia driver (by adding Driver "nvidia" to xorg.conf), i still get it dying after the nvidia splash screen. there don't appear to be any great error messages in xorg.conf related to this and i don't think its an X problem anyway as it starts fine when i run startx... how do i see what gdm is doing? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Rumi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810 | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Rumi: it uses the i810 driver | 10:37 |
| ikonia | brett_ gdm logs in /var/log ? | 10:37 |
| brett_ | ikonia: that's what i thought, except the logs in there (:0.log) all seem to relate to the "failsafe" mode being starting up, not the bit before that | 10:38 |
| ikonia | brett_: look at why it's starting in failsafe mode, re-check the xorg logs | 10:39 |
| DarkestSoul | ActionParsnip1: do you know a good source for envy with an howto ? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | DarkestSoul envy should be used with caution | 10:39 |

| a1len | Hello. Can anyone help me in figuring out how I 'cd' an application into a directory and then run that application? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip1: is that card not supported by the ubuntu packaged versions ? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | a1len what application are you trying to run / | 10:41 |
| deus_ | ok | 10:41 |
| deus_ | it was usermod not useradd | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: im just showing how envy is installed and executed, im unsure but im presuming some research has been done prior | 10:41 |
| a1len | ikonia: Python. I can't get it to import from where I save the modules. | 10:41 |
| kri | hi | 10:41 |
| kri | how do i minimize x? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: please clarify how you mean by 'cd' an application | 10:41 |
| DarkestSoul | ctrl+alt+f1 | 10:42 |
| DarkestSoul | kri | 10:42 |
| ikonia | alexbobp: what command are you using? as luanching python to "cd" into a directory makes no sense | 10:42 |
| ikonia | aklsorry no t your | 10:42 |
| a1len | ActionParsnip1: Run that application from a determined directory. | 10:42 |
| ikonia | a1len you ru the application from where it is on the file system | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: to run a binary in the current pwd, use ./<file to run> | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: this will make the shell use the local directory as the working directory | 10:43 |
| DarkestSoul | ActionParsnip1: im very new to ubuntu ... thats my problem. after install i had the latest driver (177) but my system doesnt work with them. always freezes ... but without any driver the system works fine (except graphic) | 10:43 |
| z0d14k | In rhythmbox, how do I tell it to not do random albums? I want to randomize all songs, not just randomly choose the next album. | 10:43 |
| Rumi | but its running on many other computers with exactly the same config as mine | 10:43 |
| a1len | ActionParsnip1: I'm sorry, I don't think I understand... | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkestSoul: maybe they are not the correct drivers | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: what is the name of the program to run? | 10:43 |
| a1len | ActionParsnip1: Python. | 10:44 |
| DarkestSoul | ActionParsnip1: so i should use envy to find the right ones ? | 10:44 |
| ikonia | DarkestSoul I would say not | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: then in terminal type: ./Python | 10:44 |
| DarkestSoul | ikonia: other solution? ^^ | 10:44 |
| ikonia | DarkestSoul: unless you know the ubuntu packaged drivers do not support your card | 10:44 |
| Sothar | May I ask a question, as someone who experiances with linux include 2 weeks with redhat and a torturous month with debian what would you recommend as a distro to get me properly introduced | 10:44 |
| Rumi | ??? | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkestSoul: only as a last resort, its better to use the packaged ones to make kernel upgrades easier | 10:44 |
| z0d14k | DarkestSoul: Have you tried the earlier versions of the drivers? On my 6600's I can only use nvidia-glx-173* | 10:44 |
| ikonia | Sothar: try them - see what you like | 10:44 |
| Spatman | Is ther any ubuntu Channel for help with debian packaging? | 10:45 |
| a1len | ActionParsnip1: Thanks! | 10:45 |
| Milos | If do-release-upgrade failed because of "OS error 12: cannot allocate memory" can I just run the update again? I tried do-release-upgrade but it said it was the latest version, which is what I thought would happen. | 10:45 |

| sannnn | is there some documentation available on the installation of bugzilla3 on ubuntu server 8.10.. cause after install it leaves me in the dark?!! | 10:45 |
| ikonia | Sothar: pick one and work with it | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: ./ means use the one in the local directory | 10:45 |
| ikonia | Sothar: it really doesn't matter | 10:45 |
| Sothar | thank you actionparsnip | 10:46 |
| DarkestSoul | z0d14k: with 32bit ubuntu: yes ... but now i have 64bit | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | a1len: so if you had opera installed and had a binary in your pwd called opera. you would need to use ./opera to run the local one rather than the one in /usr/bin et al | 10:46 |
| Rumi | thank you very much everyone | 10:46 |

| Finalphase | >I installed Ubuntu into my spare HDD with wubi.exe, when I boot from it at the select operating systems menu, it loads a bit then goes GRUB> And gives me commands, how do I get to the desktop and everything, thanks in advance! | 11:13 |
| ikonia | brett_ for that I'd log a bug, the drivers are closed so it's hard to debug, however that is most odd | 11:13 |
| jpablanche | thank you people | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | damaltor: id install nvidia-glx-legacy | 11:14 |
| brett_ | ikonia: bug with gdm or nvidia? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | damaltor: the legacy drivers sound like they will be good, depends which specific card | 11:14 |
| light | use kgrubeditor | 11:14 |
| ikonia | brett_ well, I'd to it against gdm as gdm is the things thats saying "I can't use these" as the drivers are working according to your other tests | 11:14 |
| deus_ | I cant edit the group settings | 11:15 |
| [mbm] | mylisto: not clear from that if the mac was an intel or a powerpc | 11:15 |
| === cracken226 is now known as Cracken226 | ||
| deus_ | in gnome-control-system | 11:15 |
| brett_ | ikonia: yeah... cool will try that. interestingly, kdm doesn't work either. so weird... | 11:15 |
| ikonia | brett_ now that is interesting | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mylisto: can you boot to macos and find out there | 11:15 |
| ikonia | brett_ also you do have quite an unusual card so I imagine it's not an every day thing | 11:15 |
| mylisto | kind of scared at testing it though | 11:15 |
| mylisto | what action? | 11:16 |
| dirtyhawk | light: i think (at least for Ubuntu GNOME desktops) startupmanager should be more appropriate | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mylisto: can you boot to MacOS and find out there | 11:16 |
| brett_ | ikonia: yeah its a lenovo thinkpad t61p laptop... not the most common. worked great with 8.04 but this breaking edge stuff is definitely breaking the less common stuff :) | 11:16 |
| [mbm] | mylisto: ubuntu doesn't install anything to the disk until you run the isntall program on the desktop; remove the cd and it boots back into OSX | 11:16 |
| damaltor | ActionParsnip1: thanks. last time i tried, legacy drivers were unable to build there module, wich is noted in the release notes of intrepid. is this changed? | 11:16 |
| bingungaja | anyone using hotmail and firefox ? i'm using both of them, but when i login hotmail, it stated my firefox need to be upgrade (i'm using the latest one)..anyone can explain why this happening pls ? (pls see the screenshot http://img367.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4wl7.png) | 11:16 |
| deus_ | how can i use the group settings in gnome control panel? | 11:16 |
| mylisto | find out what? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mylisto: what cpu the system has | 11:16 |
| damaltor | ActionParsnip1: this seems to be an incompatibility issue of nividia drivers <-> new X11 version | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mylisto: i dont use mac myself, too little bang for buck | 11:17 |
| fantomas | hi all | 11:17 |
| light | but kde is fresh | 11:17 |
| ph8 | good to see nautilus is still broken in lots of ways :/ | 11:17 |
| Sorcererbob | bingungaja: I'd guess that MS has a broken script which searches for a particular version. The current version has changed, but the script hasn't | 11:17 |
| ph8 | i can hardly tell the difference with intrepid | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | damaltor: tried envyng-gtk? its a good last ditch option | 11:17 |
| mylisto | its not my machine | 11:17 |
| === makkbe is now known as McB_ | ||
| jpablanche | what good about kde and ubuntu ? they have comparison? | 11:17 |
| chuxxsss | anyone no why firefox does not write emails in hotmail | 11:17 |
| Tyrath | damaltor: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers - use the latest | 11:17 |
| DarkestSoul | is it better to install drivers with console or synaptic ? | 11:17 |
| mylisto | chuxxsss: | 11:17 |
| bingungaja | Sorcererbob: if it so, why this is not happening in my opera ? | 11:18 |
| mylisto | having that same problem in pclinux os | 11:18 |
| chuxxsss | mylisto, yes | 11:18 |
| Tyrath | DarkestSoul: console | 11:18 |
| mylisto | I can do it in yahoo | 11:18 |
| === McB_ is now known as McB | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | mylisto: check the bios or boot the current OS and see if you can find out there | 11:18 |

| `r0ot | i need install wxwidgets from apt.wxwidgets.org so i have only dapper-wx/ & edgy-wx/ & etch-wx/ & feisty-wx/ & gutsy-wx/ & hardy-wx/ but my dis is intrepid, so i want ask what i can install in my system ? | 11:18 |
| mylisto | see if I can find out if what? | 11:18 |
| damaltor | ActionParsnip1: yes, did so.. in the end, it just installs the drivers like if done by hand and edits the xorg.conf. while the module cannot be compiled here either, i had to manually edit the xorg.conf back to nv driver | 11:18 |
| mylisto | if ubuntu will load? | 11:18 |
| DarkestSoul | Tyrath should i uninstall all other drivers first ? | 11:18 |

| SlimeyPete | smokewon: packages.ubuntu.com is useful for such queries :) | 11:19 |
| smokewon | thx | 11:19 |
| chuxxsss | nice | 11:19 |
| Tyrath | DarkestSoul: I have nVidia. It was screwing up. I didn't even have the hardware drivers installed. I randomly one day typed apt-cache search nvidia, installed a config ap and it installed an older driver which caused the newer driver to appear. - weird huh? | 11:19 |
| chuxxsss | I only have 2 xeon in my one | 11:20 |
| dirtyhawk | fantomas: what do you mean with "wrong charset"? utf-8 is the linux default charset, cp1252 the windows one | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | DarkestSoul: so I reverted from the older driver to the newer driver and all of a sudden the nivida graphics card started working | 11:20 |
| `r0ot | someone have ides about what i'm asking about ? | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | damaltor: try apt-cache search xorg | 11:21 |
| fantomas | dirtyhawk: most of my music (taken somewhere) having wrong cp1251 tags | 11:21 |
| Tyrath | damaltor: see if theres some kind of install prog there | 11:21 |
| fantomas | dirtyhawk: all this looks ugly & unreadable in RB | 11:21 |
| Tyrath | damaltor: if that fails try ati instead of xorg | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Sorcererbob: http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/31774 Opera 9.62 released 30th October 08 | 11:21 |
| dirtyhawk | fantomas: aaaah, we're talking about id3-tags, not filenames. sorry, my fault. | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Sorcererbob: less than a month is fairly recent imho | 11:21 |
| * Tyrath suggests that if apt-cache search fails for people to use apropos instead | 11:22 | |
| subdolus | how do I use anacron instead of crontab? when I put things in crontab -e they dont run | 11:22 |
| fantomas | dirtyhawk: np, just expecting some functionality like 'fallback' encoding or somethings... | 11:22 |
| dirtyhawk | fantomas: so what do you want to do? convert your tags to utf8 or let rhythmbox correctly read your cp1252-tags? | 11:22 |
| smokewon | Hey i just wrote a massive document in open office and i was too stupid to remember to save half way through, it just closed down(not sure why at all), and i didnt save it, will there be a copy of the document somewhere around the OS at all if possible?, like a tmp file of it or something? | 11:22 |
| bingungaja | do we need to check rutinely for our vga drivers ? | 11:22 |
| damaltor | Tyrath: xorg is up and running, but not compatible with my card as stated in the release notes. i have a nvidia geforce4, so ati drivers will not be helpgul :) i think i will have to stick to 8.04 for a while. | 11:22 |
| Tyrath | does anyone know how I can get rid of this GUI notifier that tells me I have to install updates when I've already installed the updates using the apt tool | 11:22 |
| fantomas | dirtyhawk: yes, converting tags would help, but is pretty boring and timeconsuming procedure :( | 11:23 |
| damaltor | Tyrath: cklick the notofier, let it try to update, and it will notice that everything is done. or restart X. | 11:23 |
| ziroday | smokewon: if you reopen openoffice and are lucky then the recovery window will pop up | 11:23 |
| DarkestSoul | Tyrath: with nvidia driver 177 my system freezes ... and i dunno how to install other drivers ... well, i dunno which are the right ones. i read that i should use nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy but i dunno how ^^ | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | smokewon: you could try searching for files created at after a certin time, see what comes up. autosave is by default eneabled. you have learned the ardest way to save your work | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | damaltor: try searching for nvidia using the apt-cache tool - there should be some file that helps there | 11:23 |
| damaltor | Tyrath: ok thanks so far.. | 11:23 |
| smokewon | yeah :S | 11:23 |
| `r0ot | i need install wxwidgets from apt.wxwidgets.org so i have only dapper-wx/ & edgy-wx/ & etch-wx/ & feisty-wx/ & gutsy-wx/ & hardy-wx/ but my dis is intrepid, so i want ask what i can install in my system ? | 11:24 |
| smokewon | oh nice! it recovered it! thank god | 11:24 |
| Tidus | Tyrath: sticky update-notifier? just humor it and click on it | 11:24 |
| ikonia | `r0ot: ask them | 11:24 |
| ikonia | `r0ot: ubuntu doesn't make those software packages | 11:24 |
| Tidus | if anything using apt is open, that'll show up greyed out letting you know that a program has the apt lock | 11:24 |
| emilien | need help ardour hogs sound , even after changing to alsa | 11:25 |
| dirtyhawk | fantomas: as far as i know there's a commandline utility called "eyeD3" that can batch-convert lots of tags from cp1252 to utf8 | 11:25 |
| dirtyhawk | fantomas: but i never yoused it myself | 11:25 |
| `r0ot | ikonia: i ask only if i can use edgy in intrepid, that's all ? | 11:25 |
| dirtyhawk | used ist | 11:25 |
| wookienz | evenning. i have inherited a 1U server. Having not got my hands on it yet, how does one install an OS on it if it has no vga connections? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | `r0ot> ask THEM not us | 11:25 |
| fantomas | dirtyhawk: hm, thanks, going to try it | 11:25 |
| ikonia | `r0ot> they make the package so THEY will know if it will work/be safe | 11:25 |

| [mbm] | Ohkie: share the printer from within windows, then under ubuntu add the printer by selecting 'windows printer via samba' | 11:29 |
| damaltor | Tyrath: tried that lots of times... the problem is not, how to istall the driver itself. the problem is that it seems to be incompatible according to the release notes on intrepid and according to my tests. i want to know if there is a new release from nvidia, wich have to bring that driver back to life for the new x server (wich can take a while cause geforce4 is a legacy produckt on weich not too many people will spend time @ nvidia) | 11:29 |
| Tyrath | Tidus: it's unhappy with my repos. It should shut up if it knows what's good for it | 11:29 |

| reqqit | bazhang, look, they are all archive.ubuntu, archive.canonical or ppa.launchpad - no other urls | 11:49 |
| ikonia | subdolus: don't use options like that in this channel | 11:49 |
| reqqit | bazhang, why is the ubuntu pastebin magic? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | subdolus: there is no need for that language | 11:49 |

| Toznoshio | Hi community, how can I open a .bin / .cue image file in Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) ? | 11:50 |
| damaltor | ziroday: i have a geforce 4 420 go in a notebook wich worked great with 8.04 and earlier. in intrepid, it doesnt show up in the hardware drivers box, the appropriate nvidia-gls-legacy-### driver cannot build its module and the newer ones dont work with the GPU. this is stated in the release notes of intrepid, this is why i made up a clean install on a spare hdd for testing. do you know if there are any news? | 11:50 |
| dirtyhawk_ | emilien: at least, not in regards to sound quality. | 11:50 |
| subdolus | ikonia: if you're not a bot, I appologise. I just pasted it from my cron, didn't consider it | 11:50 |
| bazhang | Toznoshio, using vlc | 11:50 |
| tynar | How can I connect to windows network? I can see hosts but cannot connect, do I have to enable some samba settings? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | subdolus I'm not a bot, so it would be appriciated if you considered what you paste into public channels | 11:50 |
| ziroday | subdolus: work or not work? | 11:50 |
| subdolus | so ziroday, what do you say? | 11:50 |
| emilien | dirtyhawk, ok is ogg smaller than mp3 or is this myth ? | 11:50 |
| erki | tynar: Places : Connect to server : Windows share | 11:50 |
| subdolus | 49 20 worked | 11:50 |
| subdolus | wait no | 11:50 |
| dirtyhawk_ | Toznoshio: open? do you want to burn it or what? | 11:51 |
| vincent__ | bazhang but xawtv IS installed, just not everything but the main thing is | 11:51 |
| ziroday | damaltor: you can try the opensource nv driver but thats really your only hope | 11:51 |
| Tyrath | ok well sudo init 0 worked, but it took forever for the PC to fire back up again | 11:51 |
| mjg | rg | 11:51 |
| reqqit | bazhang, what tone is that? don't tell me what tone I have - I asked if there a reason to use ubuntu's pastebin over another? forget it, I can live with it asking me each time. | 11:51 |
| ziroday | subdolus: does that work or not work? | 11:51 |
| Tyrath | anyway I could made sudo shutdown now start working again? | 11:51 |
| bazhang | vincent__, what instructions are you following and what is your ultimate goal; please clarify | 11:51 |
| mjg | anyone know how i can manually set my resolution in xorg? | 11:51 |

| mjg | tynar, my resolution won't go past 1027*768 :) | 11:52 |
| === dirtyhawk_ is now known as dirtyhawk | ||
| bazhang | nonick, what do you mean download | 11:52 |
| mjg | tynar, i meant :( | 11:53 |
| tynar | mjg, that was the answer | 11:53 |
| erki | Tyrath: You can probably use ifconfig to get internet. | 11:53 |
| bazhang | Toznoshio, your welcome | 11:53 |
| mjg | tynar, lol, i see ;) | 11:53 |
| Tyrath | erki: shouldn't I have internet access on default? i do with gnome-desktop/ | 11:53 |
| mick02 | Afternoon folks, just wondering if there is anyone in here that could guide me through setting up ssh tunneling through my company firewall. THe only ports open on the firewall are 443 and 80 so I'll need to be able to tunnel using these ports. | 11:53 |
| mjg | tynar, i just have no idea what to add/change ;) | 11:53 |
| nonick | bazhang: some things lik e limware or better | 11:54 |
| bazhang | nonick, that is not supported here. | 11:54 |
| vincent__ | Dexxa webcam bazhang | 11:54 |
| dirtyhawk | Tyrath: the network connections in intrepid are handled by networkmanager => started with the dekstop environment. | 11:54 |
| nonick | ok | 11:54 |
| kri | can i update to the latest version/build of transmission without loosing the torrents im currently seeding, i dont have the torrent files. i will not get the latest build/version from apt-get so i need to uninstall and install it manually. right? | 11:54 |
| damaltor | ziroday: you mean that NV driver... it works fine, but has no 3d support :/ | 11:54 |
| kri | correct me if im wrong anybody about mick02 ssh is on port 23? | 11:55 |
| ziroday | damaltor: then you're out of luck. Sorry | 11:55 |
| Tyrath | dirtyhawk: ah. so if I wanted to get the internet to fireup automatically before I login to gnome-desktop how could I go about this? | 11:55 |
| mick02 | kri telnet is port 23 | 11:55 |
| Kartagis | can i upgrade to intrepid with apt-get dist-upgrade? | 11:55 |
| tynar | mjg, never play if you don't know what you are doing, though. that file is generated by xorg. it must be easy to use xorgserver, search google. but always backup files it /etc, good luck | 11:55 |
| tripitakit | ssh shoud be 22 or not? | 11:55 |
| vincent__ | bazhang busy | 11:55 |
| dirtyhawk | kri: mick02 is right. ssh is on :22 by default | 11:55 |
| damaltor | ziroday: ok thanks though | 11:56 |
| mjg | tynar, thanks | 11:56 |
| ziroday | Kartagis: no, but you can do the command sudo do-release-upgrade | 11:56 |
| kri | 22 it was | 11:56 |
| dirtyhawk | Tyrath: as was said earlier, ifconfig could work. try a search in ubuntuforums for tha | 11:56 |
| dirtyhawk | that | 11:56 |
| mick02 | kri I said that the open ports on my firewall are 443 and 80. I never mentioned the ssh port | 11:57 |
| Tyrath | dirtyhawk: have. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it | 11:57 |
| vincent__ | so you just think, if I install this and that and this i'll all have to work so I might as well install that and those and so on and so forth and before you know it : WILL EVERYTHING WORK OR WILL NOTHING AND WILL YOUR HARDDISK BE FULL AND YOUR CONNECTION EXTREMELY SLOW??? | 11:57 |
| kri | yeah i thought for a second you could only use port22 to ssh but clearly im wrong when i think about it | 11:57 |
| dirtyhawk | Tyrath: sorry, i don't use it. can't help you there. | 11:57 |
| Kartagis | thanks ziroday | 11:57 |
| mick02 | So can anyone help me out with this request? I've tried googling but I'm kinda stumped | 11:58 |
| ADREAL | slmlar | 11:58 |
| qdii | hey I've downloaded manpages-fr but I dunno how I can tell my shell to use them rather than english ones. | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkestSoul: yo | 11:58 |
| imperfect- | ziroday: I did google. And no, I want the front panel audio to work. | 11:58 |
| ziroday | imperfect-: sorry, I can't find anything about that | 11:58 |
| DarkestSoul | ActionParsnip1: yo, still nothing :| | 11:58 |
| imperfect- | ziroday: yeah me either | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkestSoul: weird | 11:58 |
| wookienz | evenning. i have inherited a 1U server. Having not got my hands on it yet, how does one install an OS on it if it has no vga connections? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkestSoul: tried running it without gksudo etc? | 11:59 |
| mick02 | wookienz there should be a vga connection on your server. Usually you'll need to set up ssh on it using a monitor | 11:59 |
| vincent__ | YOU all quiet | 11:59 |
| joga | hi, why is this?: drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2008-07-30 09:17 /root/ | 11:59 |
| mick02 | wookienz then you can unplug it an use it as a headless machine. | 12:00 |
| ziroday | imperfect-: tried playing with gnome-mixer? | 12:00 |
| wookienz | mick02: ok thanks. never played wiht one so assumes it was void of one.. | 12:00 |
| bazhang | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/22070 vincent__ please read this for some possible workarounds | 12:00 |
| joga | ie. why is the root's home directory readable and traversable for everyone by default | 12:00 |
| mick02 | wookienz Nope, I'm pretty sure all servers come with a vga connection, well any of the ones I've dealt with have | 12:00 |
| DarkestSoul | ActionParsnip1: tried gksudo , gksu , su, sudo, start | 12:00 |
| Tyrath | I guess we'll try to deal with one problem at a time. Would anyone be able to help me make it so sudo shutdown now makes the system shutdown? | 12:00 |

| wookienz | mick02: any ideas on where i can grab cheap Iu servers? | 12:01 |

| Tyrath | like for example, to set ubuntu to the default operating system I had to use boot.ini on XP. using grub didn't work | 12:02 |
| Ohkie | hey guys i seem to be having a problem trying to set up static ip addresses. it is currently set to auto, and i can change it ok but every time i reboot it seems to lose those changes? | 12:02 |

| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 12:42 |
| mick02 | badstue have you got your own server? If so then I would suggest imaging your machine using clonezilla | 12:42 |
| badstue | mick02: no its just a small desktop pc | 12:43 |
| janda_ | OK, I´ll deinstall ubuntu and continue with debian lennyBeta2, because there are more possibilitities to get an answer( | 12:43 |
| mick02 | badstue Then it would be overkill using clonezilla | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | janda_: its your pc, install what you wish | 12:43 |
| kleftisx | ActionParsnip1: i have try the method you told me, but nothing changes. I get the same error again. | 12:43 |
| mick02 | badstue Although you can still use it to back up to external HDD through ssh | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: is there a ~/.amsn directory? | 12:44 |
| badstue | mick02: yup.. but it should be placed on a CD.. | 12:44 |
| kleftisx | ActionParsnip1: yes there is ~/.amsn directory. at home/username/.amsn/ | 12:45 |
| mick02 | badstue Clonezilla is a handy way of creating a "restore cd" or image but probably not the best for backups | 12:45 |
| badstue | mick02: ok.. how will the restore cd be ? will it be easy to start the restore process ? | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: rename that folder and rerun, see if it helps. rename it back if it doesnt work | 12:46 |
| badstue | mick02: hmm.. sounds interesting.. that clonezilla.. (watching their website) | 12:47 |
| mick02 | badstue I think that there are probably better ways to back up your desktop than using Clonezilla. Try checking it out RSync | 12:47 |

| mick02 | badstue Yeah Clonezilla is quite a powerful tool. I've got 17 different images held on a server that I created with Clonezilla. I use it at least once a week and it hasn't let me down yet! | 12:49 |

| kleftisx | ActionParsnip1: same again. the same error. | 12:50 |

| DarkKnight | when i open my documents folder...the folder seems to stop responding always and i need to force quit....any idea>> | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: ok delete the newly created ~/.ams folder and rename the old one back so you are where you started again | 12:52 |
| badstue | mick02: but am i able to burn the image i made with clonezilla to a cd ? | 12:52 |
| [mbm] | DarkKnight: might be generating thumbnails; are there a lot of documents? | 12:52 |
| mick02 | badstue OK try out clonezilla. You can boot from it and then point it towards you image then it will install it. Very handy. All I would suggest is that you accept *most* of the default values until you're used to it. | 12:52 |
| mick02 | Badstue you can if you want but it won't be bootable | 12:53 |

| Frogging101 | I am trying to make my ubuntu partiton bigger, using space from another partition. I can shrink the other partition no problem, but the ubuntu partiton is locked because it is mounted. When I try to unmount it there is an error message saying that it couldnt unmount the partition because there may be other partitions mounted on the same mountpoint. There are no other mounted partitions. I am using Gparted.\ | 13:04 |
| dirtyhawk | but it looks like the solution | 13:04 |
| kleftisx | ActionParsnip1: is the latest version, but i cannot still open it! | 13:04 |
| rjd_ | dirtyhawk: its not possible to reverse the x and y axis there? | 13:05 |

| ikonia | Frogging101 you need to do that from the live cd | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Frogging101: you can't re-size a partition while it is in use, it's in use because your using ubuntu | 13:06 |
| Frogging101 | okay thanks | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: whats the error again? | 13:07 |
| dirtyhawk | Frogging101: you could try it with your ubuntu-live-cd. but be careful not to delete your partitions | 13:07 |

| imachine | hi | 13:09 |
| imachine | I've updated 8.04.1 with hardy-proposed, and my firefox translations are gone. | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4738 | 13:09 |
| imachine | are the -proposed update sources not recommended? or unstable? | 13:09 |
| bahadunn | when my computer's screen turns off after not using it for 5 to 10 minutes I have noticed that my hard drive light comes on and stays solidly lit continuously. Any idea what might be causing that? This only started since I upgraded to 8.10 by the way. | 13:09 |
| imachine | it was just a bunch of translations, but it seems they're not compatible with firefox 3.0.3 | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: easier solution is to edit the first line of the 'amsn' script and change 'wish' by 'wish8.5' or 'wish8.4' depending on which version you are using. | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kleftisx: but read the whole post | 13:10 |
| dirtyhawk | imachine: -proposed is considered not yet fully stable and thus unsupported | 13:10 |
| imachine | dirtyhawk, so, I should remove it from updateing? | 13:10 |
| imachine | dirtyhawk, how can I come back to the previous set up then? | 13:10 |
| imachine | dirtyhawk, disable proposed from /etc/apt/apt.sources and then what ? | 13:10 |
| dirtyhawk | bahadunn: maybe tracker is indexing your directories while you're away from computer? | 13:10 |
| [mbm] | Soul: "avahi-browse -a" .. shows you all the programs avahi is announcing to the network | 13:11 |
| scientes | why does X use 100% CPU | 13:11 |
| dirtyhawk | imachine: sorry, i never needed/tried to revert to older versions of packages. | 13:11 |
| bahadunn | dirtyhawk: could be. I do not have that many directories and files for that drive light to be on for hours though | 13:11 |
| imachine | yeah, I need to downgrade simply. | 13:11 |
| bahadunn | dirtyhawk: is there any way to turn tracker off? | 13:11 |
| scientes | why does X use 100% CPU | 13:12 |
| scientes | like compiz 3d works great but basic drap drop is way slow | 13:12 |

| [mbm] | scientes: shouldn't unless you have something busy redrawing the screen | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | scientes: ask in #compiz | 13:12 |
| dirtyhawk | bahadunn: there is a simple option in the tray symbol of tracker to disable indexing | 13:12 |
| imachine | dirtyhawk, how can I check with apt preferably what package owns a particular file ? | 13:13 |
| scientes | i cant load appearance manager and unload compix | 13:13 |
| bahadunn | dirtyhawk: I dont have tracker on my tray | 13:13 |
| imachine | bahadunn, you can set it through System menu | 13:14 |
| orgthingy | scientes : it what xD ? | 13:14 |
| orgthingy | scientes : if your CPU is pentium 1, then it does probably | 13:14 |
| imachine | bahadunn, system preferences searching and indexing | 13:14 |
| dirtyhawk | imachine: i don't know with apt, but in synaptics you can see it for every package | 13:14 |

| imachine | dirtyhawk, but before I updated from proposed, I checked the descriptions of the updates, and there hadn't seemed to be anything possibly dangerous. | 13:18 |
| imachine | dirtyhawk, it's strange that it would be causing issues :-) | 13:18 |
| erki | [mbm]: Thank you! Worked like a charm! | 13:18 |
| DracoZA | is there a way to disable keyring manager ? | 13:18 |
| dirtyhawk | imachine: i had this problem too, but then upgraded to intrepid. i think its something with the xulrunner-package | 13:18 |
| imachine | DracoZA, why would you want to do that ? | 13:19 |
| imachine | dirtyhawk, yeah, xulrunner is ok, just the support files are incompatible with ffox. | 13:19 |
| imachine | s/support/translation | 13:19 |
| Soul1 | http://pastebin.com/m516b79df <- someone knows what that means? | 13:19 |
| DracoZA | imachine, everytime the machine logs in it asks for the default keyring password before it will connect to the network | 13:19 |
| [mbm] | Soul1: I think it's a url to a website ;) | 13:19 |
| imachine | DracoZA, you can fix that. | 13:19 |
| koops | how do i disable gnome minimize maximize effects? | 13:19 |
| DracoZA | imachine, thats good news | 13:20 |
| imachine | DracoZA, you need to fiddle with some pam options in /etc/pam.d | 13:20 |
| Soul1 | [mbm] haha :P | 13:20 |
| imachine | DracoZA, but I can't recall which exactly | 13:20 |

| rage- | so on my ubuntu system... when I try to watch a flash video in firefox (from google video, youtube, anywhere), it will start to load and start playing, but then as I can see in the system monitor my network downstream goes to next to nothing and my upstream gets maxxed -- what's going on here? it's supposed to be downloading/streaming the video.. yet my upload gets maxxed? I'm running amd64 and tried ff2 and ff3 | 13:20 |

| UserC | dirtyhawk: this command simply allows me to use webcam | 13:21 |
| imachine | DracoZA, paste your /etc/pam.d/gdm and /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin somewhere. | 13:21 |
| imachine | DracoZA, then I'll tell you how to fix it. | 13:21 |
| UserC | dirtyhawk: doesn't matter though.. using it in a launcher gives me the following error: Failed to execute child process "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" (No such file or directory) | 13:22 |

| dark | ya- it gives you the recent kernel messages | 13:23 |
| dirtyhawk | UserC: okay; "LD_PRELOAD=[...]" is not a command actually, it defines a variable in your shell. probably, you could try to write a short shellscript to run skype | 13:23 |

| bazhang | DarkestSoul, its the 173; 177 is recommended now but I have not switched yet-->not hot afaik | 14:15 |
| DarkestSoul | Delvien , bazhang : do you think that 70° is to hot? | 14:16 |
| blip- | thanks llevering | 14:16 |
| bazhang | DarkestSoul, is that celsius or fahrenheit | 14:17 |

| DarkestSoul | Delvien : 130 fahrenheit and 70 celsius i think | 14:18 |
| scientes | some upgrade just made firefox ALOT less stable | 14:18 |
| Delvien | DarkestSoul: io know. core temps are best referred as celsius. no need for imperial | 14:19 |
| bazhang | scientes, what extensions you got for FF | 14:19 |
| Delvien | DarkestSoul: your temp is fine dont worry about it | 14:20 |
| Hideme | Dr_willis Ok.... a solution that will allow me the conveniance of simply typing "xxxx machine-name" and it will log me in. Of course keeping a list of all machine and associated IP. A DB is overkill, I'm thinking on a nice lil sh script. | 14:20 |
| paul68 | can someone help me out with a dhcp problem? | 14:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | paul68: just ask your real question to the whole channel | 14:20 |

| DIFH-iceroot | paul68: ok :) | 14:23 |

| adac | My grafic card is a nvidia 9800GT I installed the restricted driver but with the nvidia-settings I can set up only a maximum resolution of 1680x1050...which of course is the native and maximum resolution of my 22inch monitor. Is there a way to set a higher resolution somehow? Second problem is that on every new start of the Xserver the resolution is resetted to a minor resolution instead of the 1680x1050.

| paul68 | n8tuser: no I have not | 14:28 |
| Delvien | DarkestSoul: the only thing i can think of is the card or the port may be fried | 14:29 |
| adac | Delvien, My brother has a 9600 and a 17inch monitor and there it is possible to set up a higher resolution then the maximum of thr monitor | 14:29 |

| CapTech | Ravi`s: The Ubuntu Certified Professional exam (LPI-199) is an addition to the LPI-C Level 1 certification. The LPI exams LPI-101 and LPI-102 are prerequisites for the certificaton, so you must be LPI-C Level 1 before you can take the LPI-199 exam.

| mick02 | Yeah that's the same problem I'm having with my connection Guinnesss I've been at it now on-and-off for about 3 weeks! | 16:15 |
| joshritger | Slart: can I run that off the live cd? | 16:15 |
| Slart | joshritger: you can run fsck off the live cd, yes | 16:15 |
| joshritger | thanks | 16:15 |
| joshritger | Will try | 16:15 |
| kuro | how would i add sda3 to the grub file menu.lst | 16:15 |
| Slart | joshritger: you can install almost all program to a live cd if you want.. it's only stuff that requires a reboot that doesn't really work | 16:16 |
| joshritger | ok | 16:16 |
| n8tuser | paul68 okay, now what will you have on the internal lan side of the server? how are you going to connect those host into the server? | 16:16 |
| chux0r | slart: decent script! Try compiz-check --banana ;) | 16:16 |

| paul68 | n8tuser: I will have a new switch there that allows me to connect the laptop wireless | 16:17 |
| Guinnesss | kuro: (hd0,0) would be sda1 if it is your first disk, so I suppose.. (hd0,2) for sda3 | 16:18 |
| nhorning | hello? | 16:18 |
| n8tuser | paul68 so now what is the problem again? | 16:18 |

| kuro | Guinnesss: tried and get error15: file not found | 16:19 |
| Slart | chux0r: hmm.. I think my banana is broken =/.. just got a corner | 16:19 |
| trypto | hi guys | 16:19 |
| EatShrooms | hello | 16:19 |
| Guinnesss | Maxi-mum: It was a suggestion yes I also read about it | 16:19 |
| norbert79 | EatShrooms: Got authority on writing into the target directory? :) | 16:19 |
| jord4n | what site is this room from | 16:19 |
| trypto | hey guys could someone help me with my ubuntu 8.10??? | 16:19 |
| norbert79 | EatShrooms: Maybe it's not the source which troubles, but the target direcotry | 16:19 |
| norbert79 | jord4n: ? How do you mean? | 16:20 |
| y0ul053 | mostlikely the target dir | 16:20 |
| paul68 | n8tuser: I want to know what I need to adapt in my dhcp config in order to maintain the current ip on my eth0 and be able to connect my second switch to eth1 and keep everything running | 16:20 |
| MAXI-MUM | EatShrooms, use dd command as root or run nautilus as root and copy files | 16:20 |
| Slart | !ubuntu | jord4n | 16:20 |
| ubottu | jord4n: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 16:20 |
| Guinnesss | trypto: Whats the issue? | 16:20 |
| Slart | jord4n: this is the official support channel for ubuntu | 16:20 |
| trypto | i have a problem in installing applications | 16:20 |
| EatShrooms | MAXI-MUM: how can I use dd command? | 16:20 |
| MAXI-MUM | Guinnesss, is there any progress yet .. alpha themes or someting | 16:20 |
| paul68 | n8tuser: and when needed the bind config files to | 16:20 |
| chux0r | slart: d'oh. I hate it when that happens! LOL it's just a ascii art banana to stdout. Bored coders heh. | 16:21 |
| MAXI-MUM | EatShrooms, just "man dd" | 16:21 |
| mr_polite | trypto: what are you trying to install? | 16:21 |
| MAXI-MUM | EatShrooms, http://linux.die.net/man/1/dd | 16:21 |
| trypto | i'm trying to install aMule | 16:21 |
| Slart | chux0r: =) | 16:21 |
| n8tuser | paul68-> seem things are okay, now about bind ie creating your own name server, you have to do the tutorial on that | 16:21 |
| Guinnesss | kuro: It should work if put correctly, but you can also try the UUID which you might find in /etc/fstab for sda3 | 16:21 |
| trypto | but i have problems with tar.gz packages | 16:21 |
| EatShrooms | MAXI-MUM: thanks | 16:22 |
| trypto | in general | 16:22 |
| mr_polite | trypto: why are you using tar.gz when amule is in the repository? | 16:22 |
| MAXI-MUM | EatShrooms, easier for you to su root .....> nautilus ...> copy as you like :) try it easier than dd | 16:22 |
| paul68 | n8tuser: so I don't need to adapt the top part of my dhcp config? and I already have bind running | 16:22 |
| kuro | Guinnesss: i can put the uuid in the root line? | 16:22 |
| denneb | yop. | 16:22 |
| trypto | i don't know.. :) what should i do? | 16:23 |
| Slart | MAXI-MUM: su doesn't work in ubuntu by default.. try gksudo instead | 16:23 |
| trypto | it's the second day i'm using linux, i'm not so good at it yet | 16:23 |
| mr_polite | in terminal type: sudo apt-get install amule | 16:23 |
| n8tuser | paul68 which dhcp part? | 16:23 |
| trypto | although i've installed lots of stuff and made lots of good things and personalizations.. | 16:23 |
| alcoholic | server irc.onlinbg.biz | 16:23 |
| MAXI-MUM | Slart, thanks for info but i think i use "su" with ubuntu | 16:23 |
| trypto | i tried installing it that way | 16:23 |
| trypto | but it doesnt' work | 16:24 |
| trypto | :( | 16:24 |
| paul68 | n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70328/ the first 6 lines | 16:24 |
| n8tuser | paul68-> also once more, why dont you just leave the linksys dhcp enabled so it can dole out the ip address | 16:24 |
| mr_polite | trypto: im not sure what you mean by it doesnt work. what exactly is the error you get? | 16:24 |
| Slart | MAXI-MUM: root user doesn't have a password by default.. so su doesn't work.. of course you can change it if you want | 16:24 |
| trypto | i get an error like "the package could be corrupt" | 16:25 |
| trypto | oh wait | 16:25 |
| n8tuser | paul68-> you are doling out services that i never run myself before..so i dont know | 16:25 |
| trypto | incredible... | 16:25 |
| trypto | now it workso n the terminal:) | 16:25 |

| lanoxx | mr_polite, im looking at RES in htop | 16:29 |

| Dominik314 | this can not be right, as all boast that Ubuntu is faster then windows | 16:52 |
| AdvoWork | Slart, thinking about it, this is defined in /etc/fstab: //192.168.0.5/backup$ /home/Backups cifs exec is and /home/Backups is what i need permission to | 16:52 |

| punkrockguy318 | Dominik314: it might have something to do with compiz | 17:20 |
| Crusher | Slart: how can i install a tar.gz file ? | 17:20 |
| Dominik314 | so Is this lagging problem a Linux problem a Ubuntu problem or just a Firefox on Ubuntu problem? | 17:20 |
| punkrockguy318 | Dominik314: i believe it's a compiz problem but i'm not sure | 17:20 |
| seronis | ratpoison: easiest way to tell is turn your firewall off. if it still dont work blame the router | 17:20 |

| ratpoison | Cpudan80: I was trying to configure it, and I found out that although I have the ports forwarded by the router and no firewall on, my ports were still closed | 17:22 |
| punkrockguy318 | Dominik314: yeah i love ubuntu and all and it performs well benchmark wise but there are some issues... perhaps the proprietary drivers or compiz may be the culrpit but ubuntu always outperformed XP and Vista for me, but firefox has some weird issues | 17:22 |

| CosmicTouch | hi @ all | 17:37 |
| mon^rch | gavagai: thanks again, that's what I thought | 17:37 |

| orixilus | hi, I'm trying to install firebug for firefox but synaptic can't find the package. I'm using ubuntu 7.10 - what should I do? | 17:37 |
| aslpls | is there a way? | 17:37 |

| wolfie2x | Cpudan80: how do I update to kernel 2.6.27.8 ? | 17:37 |

| wolfie2x | norbert79: u speaking to me? | 17:38 |
| wolfie2x | norbert79: about the kernel? | 17:38 |
| Cpudan80 | ratpoison: what telnet does is try to open a socket to your server | 17:38 |
| norbert79 | wolfie2x: No, solara | 17:38 |
| Cpudan80 | ratpoison: in your case, there was nothing in your server listening for incoming connections | 17:38 |
| Cpudan80 | ratpoison: you need to turn on the part to listen for incoming data | 17:38 |
| solara | norbert79: I do have special needs sadly. I figured out the problem though, the guys in #debian told me to just remove the old package and that works perfeclty | 17:38 |
| aslpls | hello again | 17:38 |
| ratpoison | Cpudan80: I told you, that's natural, since I'm not actively using that service right now. I'm trying to open up port 6891 for amsn | 17:39 |
| solara | thanks for your help norbert79 | 17:39 |
| norbert79 | solara: Well, it's not always that simple | 17:39 |
| norbert79 | solara: Where do you got the package from? | 17:39 |

| erUSUL | bungle: a command that will list the files installed by the headers package | 18:07 |
| leefmc | mr_polite: It says to use this "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/daou/ubuntu DISTRO main" but when i use "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/daou/ubuntu intrepid main" it cannot be found. Thoughts? | 18:07 |

| Taza | Intrebid Ibex bluetooth problem solving: install a previous kernel version, run bluetooth wizard to pair it, then revert back to the old kernel. | 18:57 |
| Taza | Ugly, clumsy, but it fixes it | 18:57 |
| amrcidiot | cd is in the bin folder | 18:57 |
| amrcidiot | it won't let me run the command | 18:58 |
| lorenzosu | I upgraded from ubuntu studio 8.04 to 8.10 and system was broken. Tried completely removing ubuntu studio, then re-installing. But when I boot in the rt I get no wifi. Any clue? | 18:58 |
| erUSUL | amrcidiot: cd is a internal command of the shell it is not in /bin | 18:58 |
| lorenzosu | "normal" kernel works fine now | 18:58 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: The upgrade process from 8.04 to 8.10 seems to break a lot of systems. | 18:58 |
| joebodo | amrcidiot then you would use /somewhere/bin/cd (where somewhere is the name of your new location) | 18:58 |
| ville__ | Hello guys! I have to laptop one running ubuntu 8.10 and the other one running windows xp... The machine that's running ubuntu has 11mbs wlan card and the xp machine head 54mbs card. I have an 8mb/s internet connection and I have noticed that the Ubuntu computer only gets 2817.61kbit/s and The xp machine gets 5049 kbit/s. does this have to do with the speed difference between the do WLAN cards? | 18:58 |
| lorenzosu | Awww... Taza, should have waited. | 18:58 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: And the problems somehow don't appear in fresh installs, at the very least mostly | 18:59 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: I've just worked some 12 hours restoring my machine. You're not alone in that sentiment | 18:59 |
| lorenzosu | I see. What would you advise Taza? | 18:59 |
| mikejet | I'm still having Firefox on x86_64 crash all the time. I don't get it. | 18:59 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: Back everything up, wipe HDD of everything Ubuntu, fresh install. | 18:59 |
| bakarat | is there a way for dia to integrate the different windows into 1 window? | 18:59 |
| === malexachi is now known as MaleXachi | ||

| amrcidiot | pidgin crashed | 19:00 |
| amrcidiot | thank you | 19:00 |
| RolfCoptr | ville__: 3mb/s is ok for 11mbit/s | 19:00 |
| bakarat | Taza: as opposed to ... ? :> | 19:00 |
| Taza | bakarat: IIRC wmii could do that, but it's hard to use. | 19:00 |
| lorenzosu | I thought of that... but will lose lots of customisations.. :/ I'm kinda new to linux. What is vital to backup apart from my "document" files? | 19:00 |

| mikejet | Is Firefox 3 on x86_64 released, or is this still beta? | 19:00 |
| ville__ | RolfCoptr: ok so that's usual? | 19:00 |
| joebodo | amrcidiot then you would use /somewhere/bin/cd (where somewhere is the name of your new location) | 19:00 |
| lorenzosu | An example... | 19:00 |
| amrcidiot | thanks | 19:00 |
| mohan34u | I am using ibex.. | 19:00 |
| RolfCoptr | ville__: yes | 19:00 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: Though you can't directly restore /etc or otherwise you'll re-break your system | 19:00 |
| lorenzosu | I spent half a day customising the keyboard shortcuts for a software... where would that have been saved typically? | 19:01 |
| kri | i have some apt borkage please se my error: http://sajten.net/libart | 19:01 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: If you did it as an user, /home | 19:01 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: Backing up everything /home is a good idea anyway | 19:01 |

| lorenzosu | mhh... did it from the software's menu (it's a QT / KDE software))) | 19:01 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: Probably /home/lorenzosu/.software | 19:02 |
| mohan34u | When encoding mp3 using ffmpeg, I got the "Unknown coder mp3" error.. any workaround? | 19:02 |
| lorenzosu | which is home... | 19:02 |
| Taza | mohan34u: Do you have mp3 codecs installed? | 19:02 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: "File System" from places, there's a directory called "home" | 19:02 |

| mohan34u | I installed non-free-codecs | 19:02 |
| lorenzosu | but then on the fresh install will it be safe to just merge the backed up /home on tho the fresh one? | 19:02 |

| mohan34u | Taza: VLC, mplayer working correctly.. | 19:03 |

| abbronzato2 | i try to read that wiki | 19:04 |
| Taza | lorenzosu: Ubuntu isn't always that stable - everytime you upgrade you risk getting everything broken | 19:04 |
| lorenzosu | Is Fedora more stable? | 19:04 |
| Taza | I had to speed-update to 8.10 because I had to always manually recompile my kernel modules in 8.04... | 19:04 |

| ^fire_bir | thanks :-) | 19:13 |
| Slart | thrope: sudo apt-get install system-config-printer-gnome | 19:13 |
| drguildo | sounds is extremely loud and crackly and reducing the volume doesn't help | 19:13 |
| thrope | Slart: just tryign that - I thought system-config- stuff was redhat specific, but i guess not | 19:14 |
| Slart | thrope: eh.. I don't think you'll find much redhat stuff in the ubuntu repositories =) | 19:14 |
| dracnes1 | erUSUL: I don't know why, but the wireless isn't working still. I read this morning about needing some firmware from cafuego and added it to the software sources but I can't find the packages in add/remove programmes (I don't know what they would be called either). | 19:14 |

| thrope | Slart: I thought all those system-config-* tools were written by redhat... I think most were - I assumed ubuntu was using something else but I guess they are using the same | 19:15 |

| aho_ | fryguy: you probably need to reinstall the fglrx drivers | 20:13 |
| aho_ | depending on how you had them installed before, you'll neeed to compile the kernel module for your new kernel version | 20:14 |
| aho_ | and probably the new flgrx X module compiled agianst the new version of X | 20:14 |
| fryguy | aho_: fglrx drivers are listed as activated in the restricted drivers manager | 20:14 |
| aho_ | (if that makes any sense at all to you) | 20:14 |
| fryguy | aho_: and no errors occur in Xorg.log | 20:14 |

| aurel42 | RolfCoptr: do you happen to know whether disabling "Visual effects" is enough to get rid of Compiz? | 20:19 |
| RolfCoptr | aurel42: you should be fine if you use plain metacity instead of compiz | 20:20 |
| RolfCoptr | but that's no soluition for me | 20:20 |

| slayton | balachmar, htop | 20:22 |
| joebodo | !offtopic | 20:22 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:22 |

| q0s | where can i get the correct ./configure settings which were used from the package creators for libgtk2.0-0? | 20:23 |

| name_name | hey #ubuntu I put two new hard drives in my machine today and formated them to HPFS/NTFS with the "cfdisk" command then they show up in "fdisk -l" as thishttp://pastebin.com/m9b21205 which looks normal compared to the other filesystems, but when I try "mount /dev/sda1 /media/mountpoint" it says it needs the filesystem type. so I do "mount -t ntfs /media/blah" then it says it's not a valid... | 20:23 |
| name_name | ...ntfs, wtf? | 20:23 |
| fryguy | hosler: yes. "derived from" doesn't mean "the same as" | 20:23 |

| scientes | seriously wtf | 20:24 |
| fryguy | hosler: different packages for everything | 20:24 |
| OrangeMechanique | ive been trying a install cd customization documentation from the ubuntu site, but I have an error when it tries to install an extra package but there is no feedback on which error is it | 20:25 |
| hosler | fryguy: thats it? just newer packages? | 20:25 |
| joebodo | hosler you may have more luck in ubuntu-offtopic | 20:25 |
| fryguy | hosler: not necessarily newer | 20:25 |

| fryguy | TheShadow: apt-src the package and inspect the contents | 20:26 |
| name_name | fuxxy: I'm having trouble mounting them | 20:26 |
| balachmar | @slayton: but there are 20 references to firefox there all eating 7% of my ram, that can't be correct. Also htop says 25% memory is used although the system monitor applet says that another 70% is in use as cache | 20:26 |
| Hikefu | does anyone know of a really powerful linux scientific calculator? | 20:26 |
| fryguy | Hikefu: bc | 20:26 |
| hosler | fryguy: lets put it this way. I have used a debian server for a long time. how uncomfortable will i be if i switch to ubuntu? | 20:26 |
| slayton | balachmar, each firefox process is sharing that 7% | 20:26 |
| TheShadow | fryguy: I know there is a simpler way. | 20:26 |
| fryguy | hosler: not at all | 20:26 |
| name_name | fuxxy: "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/point" says fail | 20:26 |

| TheShadow | fryguy: I've done it before | 20:26 |
| slayton | balachmar, sorry don't know too much more | 20:26 |

| joebodo | fryguy try the ati control center (amdcccle) | 20:29 |
| name_name | fuxxy: I have 3 other hard drives that are HPFS/NTFS and they work fine, r/w etc. so I think the kernal can handle that file system type | 20:29 |
| fryguy | joebodo: it runs but nothing happens | 20:30 |
| balachmar | hosler: Why would it be less stable? | 20:30 |
| kremsner | hy there, got some problems with ralink Wlan driver (rt2790) anyone got that one? | 20:30 |
| Rumi | I wanna ask a question, my glxgears arnt working, what should i do ?? | 20:30 |
| hosler | balachmar: because 64bit software is relatively newer than 32bit code | 20:30 |
| joebodo | fryguy are you using the restricted driver ? | 20:30 |
| Hikefu | fryguy, if you used fglrx in Hardy, I don't think you have a fix available. It's broken in Intrepid because of incompatibility with the new xorg 7.4 I think. | 20:30 |
| gavi | folks, if i install webmin, will it interfear with my current installation of vhcs? | 20:30 |
| balachmar | hosler: I am using 64 ubuntu normally and I haven't had problems with it, but that is no guarentee | 20:30 |
| fryguy | Hikefu: so I can't use ubuntu anymore? and the upgrade hosed my installation? | 20:31 |
| joebodo | !webmin | 20:31 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:31 |
| fryguy | joebodo: yes | 20:31 |
| hosler | balachmar: every new chipset they have to rewrite the whole STL, i think | 20:31 |
| balachmar | hosler: If you don't need $GB or more, then I should for the 32 bit version anyway. | 20:31 |
| Hikefu | I had issues, fortunately, the ati drivers worked okay with my install. a lot of people have to downgrade to xorg 7.3. | 20:31 |
| balachmar | $GB = 4GB | 20:31 |
| Hikefu | fryguy, I don't know how to do that, but you can google it. | 20:31 |

| fryguy | joebodo: i've read the documentation on fglrx. it's correctly installed and running according to restricted drivers manager and Xorg.log | 20:34 |

| lavacano201014 | [[thufir]]: I can't find the signal for a straight restarting of the process | 20:37 |
| swaj | xukun: you can put the name in quotes, like cd "/media/FEECOM HDD" | 20:37 |

| Minty95 | so very true | 20:38 |
| swaj | OddlotX4: open a terminal and just type it's name.. for example "/media/blah.run" -- or if there are no execute permissions on the file, you can usually do "sh /media/blah.run" | 20:38 |
| OddlotX4 | Thanks swaj. | 20:39 |
| fuxxy | Wild guess right now is that you are using PAP/CHAP authentication and the peer is not accepting your credentials. | 20:39 |

| dubby | Kinote, what error does it give? | 20:40 |

| Kinote | I have one failing drive, but I'm installing to a different one. Trying to drag some data off it. | 20:41 |
| Rumi | plz help me someone !! | 20:41 |
| Kinote | Only tried it on one. | 20:41 |
| OddlotX4 | "unknown id: blah.run"(I didn't actually put blah.run in there) | 20:41 |
| joebodo | Kinote i believe there is a verbose mode for install | 20:41 |
| Kinote | Bad disk, disc, or drive, for the error. | 20:41 |
| OddlotX4 | Ah, figured it out. | 20:41 |
| swaj | OddlotX4: try doing a "chmod +x /media/blah.run" first, and then run it just by calling it by name | 20:42 |
| lavacano201014 | Kinote: Yep. Dead drive. | 20:42 |
| joebodo | Kinote does it list which drive ? | 20:42 |
| Kinote | It would kill the install on other drives as well? | 20:42 |
| Kinote | Nope. No specifics. | 20:42 |
| lavacano201014 | Kinote: Only if your CD drive is messed up. | 20:42 |
| uvacav | Kinote: maybe you don't have a bad drive, maybe you have bad cable or mainboard | 20:42 |
| fuxxy | Kinote: remove the old failing drive during the install. | 20:42 |
| xukun | swaj, joebodo I found what it is. the op place is a space like this: cd /media/FREECOM'\space'HDD its works put/media/FREECOM\ HDD 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) in /etc/exports and restart the nfs server with "sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart" I get this error: exportfs: Warning: /media/FREECOM\ does not exist | 20:42 |

| xukun | the Open place .. | 20:43 |
| Kinote | I just unplugged the failing drive and started another install to see what would happen, 58% is coming up pretty quick so we'll see what happens. | 20:43 |
| lavacano201014 | uvacav: I've only been up a couple of hours, that would have come to me in time... | 20:43 |
| lavacano201014 | uvacav: But thanks for reminding me. :-) | 20:43 |

| joebodo | sybarite1 you may want to use the eee ubuntu distro - with the eee distro, you wont have issues with hardware | 20:45 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: You have TWO eth2's? | 20:46 |
| joebodo | sybarite1 http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ | 20:46 |
| tovella | maxxist: #winehq | 20:46 |
| sybarite1 | joebodo: i know... its just that i'm sitting in a cafe right now and would like to try it. With my "normal" USB ubuntu distro | 20:46 |
| Hideme | lavacano201014: Nope... eth0, eth1 and eth2. a second eth2 is picked up on boot each time and I need to delete it. | 20:46 |
| joebodo | sybarite1 you will have trouble with wifi with the generic kernel | 20:47 |
| D3RGPS31 | During startup, TTYs' colours are white and black. When X starts up and I goto TTY(1-6) the font and background are too dark even when changing them with setterm. What do I do? | 20:47 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: Maybe it's some internal hardware that Ubuntu is getting confused about | 20:47 |
| sybarite1 | joebodo: i have seen instructions for the wlan card, but i'm unsure if all that is necessary. if it is, i will have a problem since i cant download stuff and... well eventually Catch 22 will get me | 20:47 |
| amee2k | something is changing my cpufreq governor setting back to 'ondemand' whenever i plug in my AC adapter. how can i find out what is doing this / disable it ? | 20:47 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: Or maybe it goes "wireless, wired ethernet, modem"? | 20:47 |
| lavacano201014 | Doubt it | 20:47 |

| fryguy | I just upgraded to 8.10 and my second monitor won't turn on anymore. ATI Radeon graphics card, restored my existing xorg.conf that I backed up, with no effect. I'm also stuck at 800x600 resolution. What can I do? | 20:48 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: "ls /dev | grep eth | less" and pastebin the results. | 20:49 |
| sybarite1 | OrangeMechanique: whats preseed? | 20:49 |
| [[thufir]] | lavacano201014: thanks, I'm trying: killall -HUP gnome-desktop | 20:49 |
| DelGurth | oh.. stupid question perhaps... how do I make a thread on the ubuntu forums show [CLOSED]? Since editing the title doesn't do the trick it seems | 20:49 |
| lavacano201014 | [[thufir]]: No prob, forgot I told you that. heh | 20:49 |

| norman_x | hi out there. I have Ubuntu 8.10. I cannot print with openoffice. printer no 1 is a postscript laserprinter. prints with other programs, but not with openoffice. printer 2 is a canon inkprinter. this one prints with all programs, including open office. anybody here has any ideas how to get the laserprinter working with openoffice? | 20:49 |
| DelGurth | err.. [CLOSED] == [SOLVED] | 20:49 |
| [[thufir]] | gnome-desktop: no process killed. shall I have to logout and login? | 20:49 |
| OrangeMechanique | sybaritel, it is some files that can be used to provide some direct and automatic input in the installation | 20:50 |
| Hideme | lavacano201014: Mmmm nothing. | 20:50 |
| ikonia | Kinote: I thought we talked about this yesterday | 20:50 |
| lavacano201014 | [[thufir]]: That'd probable work | 20:50 |
| sybarite1 | OrangeMechanique: okay | 20:50 |
| joebodo | thufir you could do control-alt-backspace to restart X | 20:50 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: So, when it tries to list the contents of /dev, no eth devices appear... | 20:50 |
| natbet | does anyone know why firefox locks up of there is more than 2 firefox windows open? | 20:50 |
| Kinote | We did. Same problem, new step. | 20:50 |
| OrangeMechanique | sybaritel, actually (as far as I understood), with preseed I can add more packages and I can also skip a part of the install where the user would put something, by pre seeding this something in a file | 20:50 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: Either something's VERY wrong or it wants root access...try with sudo | 20:50 |
| thebishop | firefox isn't saving the quick bookmarks... what am I doing wrong?! | 20:51 |
| Hideme | lavacano201014: I did... same result. | 20:51 |
| lavacano201014 | Hideme: That's really oddd | 20:51 |
| OrangeMechanique | sybaritel, but Ive tried following a ubuntu help to do it and it didnt work... The problem is that I could not get much debug information | 20:51 |
| lavacano201014 | Hmm, maybe grep just refuses to work with ls | 20:51 |
| Dominik314 | my system fails to run when I open firefox, what can be wrong? I already increased the swap partition, but still no luck | 20:52 |
| sybarite1 | OrangeMechanique: this is not the same as mastering your own ubuntu distro? | 20:52 |
| lavacano201014 | Because I'm getting the same stuff, and I know everything here is fine | 20:52 |
| Hideme | lavacano201014: One thing to note is I did an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. A few others were complaining of this duplicate interface issue too. | 20:52 |
| boozkachu | Hi has anyone else had problems with skype or camerorama screwing up quickcam_messenger and /dev/video0 ? | 20:52 |

| Hideme | natbet: yes. Eth0, eth1 and eth2. | 20:59 |
| natbet | Hideme: no, the network manager is just finiky, I usually uninstall it right off the bat :) | 21:00 |

| Dominik314 | what could possibly cause this? | 21:05 |
| fryguy | Dominik314: verify that there is a swap partition in your /etc/fstab file, and use swapon to mount one right now | 21:05 |
| Dominik314 | fryguy: I have a 10 gig swap partitition | 21:05 |
| lavacano201014 | Dominik314: Isn't that a bit of overkill? | 21:05 |

| jtimberman | what on earth do you need 10G of swap for? | 21:06 |

| lavacano201014 | fryguy: Calculating pi to the 2,000th digit | 21:07 |
| Edward123 | is there something else i should do? | 21:07 |

| Edward123 | ah... i see, i think i need to edit my default site too | 21:07 |
| Dominik314 | Iavacano20104: the swap partition is at the end so in order to resize it I had to move 2 windows partitions and 1 linux partition, that process took 18 hours, I am not about to repeat that procedure just cause I made my swap to small by 10 megs! | 21:07 |
| Hideme | natbet Two physical ethernet cards. One of which is a dual interface, all in all 3 ethernet ports eth0, eth1 and eth2. | 21:08 |
| jtimberman | Dominik314: You can run 'swapon -s' to show the size and device name of your swap file and whether it's being used. | 21:08 |
| jimv2000 | for a channel with 1500 people in it, it's rather quiet | 21:08 |

| lavacano201014 | fryguy: I personally treat it like RAM. So yeah. But if he's calculating pi, then whatever. | 21:10 |
| Dominik314 | ok there appears not to be a swap file now, swapon -s returns what appears to be the title row of a table, filename tyhpe size used priority | 21:10 |
| jtimberman | if you plan to suspend/sleep your system (ie like a laptop) you should have swap = total physical memory installed. | 21:10 |
| Dominik314 | but it does not list anything | 21:10 |
| Anthony371 | Does anyone know about the Evolution mail sending problem? I'm having trouble sending emails and I've tinkered with everything I can imagine..... | 21:11 |
| Dominik314 | BTW I had to force the Laptop to shut off (kill power) | 21:11 |
| jtimberman | if you're not planning to suspend the system, then swap doesn't really need to be much more than maybe 1G or whatever, dpeending on the applications you're using. memory is cheap, if you're swapping a lot buy more memory :P. | 21:11 |
| jtimberman | Dominik314: there should be a line like "/dev/mapper/vmmaster-swap_1 partition 315384 0 -1" under the heading line. | 21:12 |
| * lavacano201014 has about 512 MB swap | 21:12 | |

| lavacano201014 | I have a small drive, and all I use it for is music anyway | 21:12 |

| Xore | all the keyboard shortcuts i had enabled via it are not working | 21:18 |
| AD-530 | i've crashed m partition table and need help to recover some logical partitions in an extended partition | 21:18 |
| jimv2000 | well that's odd | 21:18 |
| jimv2000 | the package you named is just source code | 21:18 |
| NekroJakub | fruguy: Yeah I know move, but when I right click one of the active windows to "move" the applet displaying them, it just lists maximise and minimise etc | 21:18 |
| Xore | and i can no longer access the configuration menu, since the xkeyboard-config executable is no longer on my system | 21:19 |
| jtimberman | Dominik314: install "server" version of Ubuntu then, and don't futz with Firefox on a server. | 21:19 |

| NekroJakub | fryguy: KDE then? Xfce? | 21:20 |
| fryguy | NekroJakub: no | 21:20 |
| Dominik314 | jtimberman: are there alternatives? | 21:20 |

| lolitsgriff | Forums have absolutely no one willing/knowledgeable to help like always. | 21:22 |

| jimv2000 | yeah | 21:29 |
| jimv2000 | it means nothing depends on them | 21:29 |
| ikonia | Dominik314 I ask as a common cause for visual lag is the wrong drivers for nvidia cards | 21:29 |

| Dominik314 | ikonia: how can I check my graphics card again? | 21:30 |

| Fezzler | Sometimes when I play Open Arena for 15m, my resolution switches and the game, PC locks up??? | 21:36 |
| fryguy | Dominik314: then you are referring to the xclient gnome session option, which will execute the contents of your .xsession file in your home directory. It's used for people (like me) who don't run standard desktop enviroments and want to run a set of custom commands | 21:36 |
| jimv2000 | @Fezzler you could be overheating | 21:36 |

| ischliky | leefmc, well your setting will be there just fine(and files) but you will need to get the programs to use the same settings again, and its possible a different version was used in 8.10 that might require settings to be reset | 21:50 |

| icqnumber | jrib, how to do this with apt-get? | 22:18 |
| PeanutScape | Hi. I have a problem with my external harddrive. Its formatted as NTFS, and i need to acces it | 22:18 |
| jrib | icqnumber: you can't. Use apt-file | 22:18 |
| jimv2000 | @icq i think it's gstreamer-plugins-libmms | 22:19 |
| PeanutScape | Now, If i plug it in to my usb port, it gives a error. | 22:19 |
| haydn | Anyone seen a work around for Itrepid boot dropping to initramfs? | 22:19 |
| icqnumber | jrib, thank you, i will try | 22:19 |
| jimv2000 | or maybe libmms-dec | 22:19 |
| troal011 | iguardian: downloading packages, get speeds between 2-30kb/s | 22:19 |
| jimv2000 | libmms-dev | 22:19 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape are you on desktop? if so you can add a NTFS Support from the packages manager | 22:19 |
| bdheeman | how do I wirelessly connect to an unsecured linksys box | 22:19 |
| robnyc | Anyone here has Pre-released (ubuntu intrepid) proposed updates enabled? | 22:20 |
| jrib | robnyc: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 22:20 |
| robnyc | thanks | 22:21 |
| smorge | hello | 22:21 |
| icqnumber | why i can play mms:// streams and can't mmsh://? that is my issue with this mmsh support, because banshee tries to play mmsh and fails, when i enter the http link of this radio stream, and if i change this stream to mms://bla bla instead of mmsh:// it works. for mmsh, i get in totem: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. http://paste.ubuntu.com/70702/ | 22:21 |
| troal011 | iguardian: SOmetimes it also just stops downloading | 22:22 |
| KevinO | cmdrsmith hey | 22:22 |
| PeanutScape | @ iguardian: It is still telling me ubuntu is not able to mount it | 22:22 |
| iguardian | troal011 open terminal, and type sudo apt-get update --fix-missing tell me if it sticks on that bit | 22:23 |
| icqnumber | jimv2000, gstreamer-plugins-libmms? where is ithis package | 22:23 |
| dVs-- | can i remove nvidia-glx-173 if i install the nividia-xconfig ? | 22:24 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape is this the one named "NTFS Configuration Tool" that you are trying to use? | 22:24 |
| dVs-- | i mean will it screw up my system ? | 22:24 |
| troal011 | iguardian: No that works... I'm on a laptop with a bcm4328 wireless running on the wl driver | 22:24 |
| jrib | dVs--: why do you want to do that? | 22:25 |
| PeanutScape | Yes, thats the one im trying to use | 22:25 |
| dVs-- | well i am trying to get this to display on my tv as well as on my moniter | 22:25 |
| jrib | dVs--: you already have nvidia-xconfig most likely | 22:25 |
| iguardian | troal011, is the problem when you have tried to install, say "sudo apt-get install alien" for example | 22:25 |
| dVs-- | sumone told me to install the nvidia config thing .. | 22:25 |
| dVs-- | no its not installed | 22:26 |
| jrib | dVs--: what does 'which nvidia-xconfig' return? | 22:26 |
| jrib | !who | dVs-- | 22:26 |
| ubottu | dVs--: 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 :) | 22:26 |

| iguardian | troal011 may i ask what you are trying to install? | 22:27 |
| PeanutScape | @ iguardian: That's the one i'm trying to use to get my external usb drive mounted | 22:27 |
| jrib | dVs--: what was the output of the command I gave you? | 22:27 |
| dVs-- | jrib: /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig | 22:27 |
| jrib | dVs--: then you have it. | 22:28 |
| jackdamn | hi , i would like to know something, the thing is that videos flicker with extra visual effects under the supported fglrx driver. so my question is this fgrlx driver for all ati graphic cards? cause i saw on the amd/ati support site that they got for each graphic-card family a different linux driver. | 22:28 |
| dVs-- | jrib: so how do i set up the tv ? | 22:28 |
| ezzieyguywuf | so my bluetooth mouse doesn't reconnect after I suspend. restarting /etc/init.d/bluetooth doesn't work and going through the gui results in a failed pair attemp. any help? | 22:28 |
| troal011 | iguardian: First tried to do an apt-get upgrade, it was slooow, then I tried apt-get install wine, same thing | 22:28 |
| jrib | dVs--: I don't know | 22:28 |
| troal011 | iguardian: Just wondering if it could be my wireless that's the issue | 22:28 |
| iguardian | PeanutSCape do you have any other NTFS-type hard drives in your box to check they mount ok, problem may be related with it being a usb drive, not that its NTFS | 22:29 |
| iguardian | troal011 yes, its probably that if you gave me name of item your are trying to install, I can have a look | 22:29 |
| phloat | I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu/windows and need to install Windows again. The windows setup won't detect my HDD, and I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what drivers I need. Can anyone help? | 22:29 |
| iguardian | troal011 also are you pulling wine from the wine website, or just from default ubuntu packages? | 22:30 |
| jrib | dVs--: a few releases ago I used nvidia-settings. I have no idea if that still works correctly on intrepid | 22:30 |
| xTr3m3 | i have a question about ubuntu 8.10... is 7zip included in ubuntu 8.10? | 22:30 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian: Not at the moment. Could it be a USB issue? | 22:30 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: what type of file system is the partition your trying to read? windows doesn't recognize ext3 (linux native) | 22:30 |
| dVs-- | jrib: how do i run the program ? | 22:30 |
| willsway | i am trying to install the necessary drivers to connect via a wireless card and have followed procedures on a web site that seemed on point. still it will not connect. what information should i provide here so you can help. | 22:30 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape Possibly, never had that problem before, always has found it fine for me, is this a usb hard drive, or just a usb pen? | 22:31 |
| PeanutScape | Its a USB Harddrive | 22:31 |
| jrib | dVs--: type 'nvidia-settings' | 22:31 |
| phloat | ezzieyguywuf: Well, it's not seeing an HDD at all... Everywhere I look says I probably don't have the drivers I need. I guess that doesn't make sense since I already have an Ubuntu install working though, eh? | 22:31 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape have you got a usb pen you can plug in to test it? | 22:31 |
| troal011 | iguardian: Tried from ubuntu first, then I added the winehq repos | 22:31 |
| mker | I just reformatted my second harddrive and now I want to mount it. I'm in /etc/fstab but I notice the other entries there have a UUID, how do I get the UUID for my second harddrive or is that not necessary? | 22:31 |
| xTr3m3 | i have a question about ubuntu 8.10... is 7zip included in ubuntu 8.10? | 22:31 |
| natalisushka | hi, I have a problem running http://localhost when network wire isn't plugged or wireless connection not detected! Why should localhost depend on the connection? Is there a way to have that work without any kind of connection? | 22:32 |
| phloat | xTr3m3: No, it's not, but you can easily get it through the Add/Remove programs list or apt-get | 22:32 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian: Tested on a usb pen, I can read and write on that one | 22:32 |
| iguardian | troall011 probably due to connection, are you accessing your internet at home, or moving around etc, and do you have ok signal? | 22:32 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: yea. probably what happened was you installed ubuntu over your entire hard drive right? that means that the whole thing is an ext3, not to mention that you don't have any room for windows. what you want to do is setup a partition in FAT32 or NTFS , so that windows can recognize it | 22:32 |
| jrib | dVs--: I just tried it here. It works fine with twinview at least | 22:32 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: you know what i'm talkin about at all? | 22:33 |
| xTr3m3 | hm: phloat: i have received an answer from developers 10sec ago... he says 7zip is included^^ ;) ? | 22:33 |
| gavagai | Video is not playing properly on my system. I get sync problems/tearing. I have installed the nvidia driver (the system prompted me after installing.) I have tried mplayer and vlc. i have changed the video output in vlc (default, x11, opengl). what is the problem? video looks much better in windows | 22:33 |
| troal011 | iguardian: I'm at home and the signal is 80% and better | 22:33 |
| phloat | Ah, I take what I said back, sorry about that. | 22:33 |
| phloat | I don't have it on my computer... probably because I upgraded from *.08 | 22:34 |
| phloat | 8.08 | 22:34 |
| xTr3m3 | ;) no problem | 22:34 |
| Antioch | What bootloader does the Live CD use? | 22:34 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape ok, do you have any other ntfs drives you can try? | 22:34 |
| faryshta | natalisushka, what I do is to use the network manager to get a fixed IP on ethernet connection, then use that ip instead of localhost. | 22:34 |
| phloat | ezzieyguywuf: Yeah, I think I get you. So I should format my HDD, then install Windows, then install Ubuntu last? | 22:34 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian: Testing another one, brb | 22:34 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: all that isn't necessary at all actually. you can use gparted to repartition your hard drive | 22:34 |
| phloat | ezzieyguywuf: It won't mess up my Ubuntu install? | 22:35 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: i think they offer a live cd version so you can boot into it | 22:35 |
| faryshta | By example the IP I have on ethernet connection is 123.213.132.231 then on the broswer place http://123.etc/ | 22:35 |
| phloat | Yeah, I had that live CD somewhere. | 22:35 |
| troal011 | iguardian: Doing a speedtest.net test I'm achieving close to my max speed | 22:35 |
| iguardian | troal011 ok, maybe restart, set it going and leave it a while, have heard of it sticking a bit on a slow connection, and then kicking in, try waiting half hour or so. Unless you have tried this before? | 22:35 |
| jtaveler01 | hello | 22:35 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian: The other one has 2 harddrives in it. The first one mounts, and the other one gives a error | 22:35 |
| PeanutScape | Thesame error as at my normal external harddrive | 22:36 |
| emilien | need help can i become root with live cd to edit ubuntu on other hard drive ? | 22:36 |
| ravster | Hello people | 22:36 |
| phloat | So I can repartition without messing up my Ubuntu install? | 22:36 |
| troal011 | iguardian: No I'm just used to fedora/yum with fastest-mirror plugin :) | 22:36 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape this is a seperate box? | 22:36 |
| troal011 | iguardian: Usually got DL speeds at 800kb/s there | 22:36 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: not at all! see, all your doing when you repartion is taking a partition thats way too big (has a lot of unused space) and cutting off some of that unused space. then, your formatting that unsused space (which didn't have any data on it to begin with) into whatever type of file system you want, in your case probably NTFS. I suggest giving windows about 10 gigs unless someone has any other size suggestions ( i dunno how much room it | 22:36 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian Yes | 22:36 |
| natalisushka | faryshta, ok, but that sucks! in my php scripts I have specified some configurations that detect localhost as the http_host! I don't want to change that, isn't there an other way? | 22:36 |
| alesan | hey no way I can use my microphone with skype; any idea what to do? alsamixer shows only one "pulseaudio" mixer; gnome mixer shows a lot of things but it eventually always mute the "capture" part; I'm very confused | 22:36 |
| iguardian | PeanutScape Odd, the two hardrives also work on windows fine? or same thing | 22:37 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: i was saying 'not at all' to your original question 'will it mess up ubuntu' not to 'can i do it w/o messing up ubuntu' | 22:37 |
| faryshta | touch, I don't know any, also had that problem. | 22:37 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian I just tested them on my laptop (windows), and they work fine. | 22:37 |

| willsway | can i get help getting a wireless card to connect? | 22:39 |
| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: you need to unmount whatever media your partitioning, which in this case is your main hard drive. if it was an external harddrive you'd be fine, but with ubuntu running (which depends on data thats stored on the mounted hard drive) you cannot unmount it. therefore, you need to boot into the live cd | 22:39 |
| rww | !im | hubar, a lot | 22:39 |
| hubar | And none of themm suppport video/audio well. | 22:39 |

| ezzieyguywuf | phloat: also, i'm not sure if 10 gigs is enough/too much for a windows install, so you might want to do a quick google on that | 22:39 |
| hubar | rww: I know, butnone of them support video/audio well, or at all. | 22:39 |
| faryshta | willsway, which is your problem, your operative system recognize already the card? | 22:39 |

| nathan42100 | Hey, question for you guys. I just upgraded from 8.04.1 and had some trouble. First, I needed to fix all the packages using an older kernel version. Second, after reinstalling the restricted drivers for my gfx card, I have no desktop. All my icons are still in my desktop folder, they just don't show up. Any ideas as to the latter? | 22:40 |
| phloat | ezzieyguywuf: Alright, thanks a ton. I'll look up a good size and stuff. I really appreciate it. | 22:40 |
| troal011 | Meh guess I'll just let it go... It'll finish eventually | 22:40 |
| ravster | I accidently manually removed the old '/lib/modules' directory of an old, unused version of the kernel, and now I'm unable to upgrade my system because Synaptic says that "Linux-Ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14- generic may not be in working condition". Help, please. | 22:40 |
| clooluss | hi everyone. Does ubuntu have any kind of file undelete utility? I aaccidentally deleted something on an external fat32 HD. | 22:40 |
| hubar | This is where FOSS sucks. | 22:40 |
| PeanutScape | iguardian Thanks, looked at google too. I guess its impossible to get it mounted then. | 22:40 |
| hubar | Because it caters to the geeks, not the average folks. | 22:41 |
| willsway | faryshta: i think it does but i am such a beginner i am not sure, so if i am in the wrong place plz just say so and i will go elsewhere. how would i know if it is recognized | 22:41 |
| sparr | "apt-get source gcc-avr" doesnt contain the source for gcc, just a bunch of patches. how do i know which source package it is built against? | 22:41 |

| natalisushka | anyone knows how I can get http://localhost to work when there isn't any network connection established? | 22:41 |

| jeremy_ | jrib, yeah like I said I deleted ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal | 23:06 |
| DasEI | nirly: do mount to get the directory where the drive is mounted | 23:06 |

| jrib | LF|Irssi: they are (until you delete them) | 23:33 |
| fryguy | ivodalves: you are probably going to have to patch the stock kernel from kernel.org to get it to compile in ubuntu. Not sure. Try getting the pre-modified sources from ubuntu if you want to compile a kernel | 23:33 |
| Flare183 | outbri: Its a Nextar MA715 | 23:33 |

| Uplink | beli: oooh thanx dude | 23:34 |
| FightBack | is there a tutorial for that? | 23:34 |

| FightBack | yes mother | 23:37 |
| scunizi | ryanakca, so what desktop do you have? if you're entirely text based with no gui FF won't do you much good. elinks is an alternative. | 23:38 |
| DasEI | eido: I see, gotta try boot options , then.. kinda machine ? hardy or ibex ? | 23:38 |

| LjL | ryanakca: that's not the case on Hardy, i have firefox installed and none of the stuff you mention | 23:39 |
| prince_jammys | D3RGPS31: it's more than the question of running the prog, it's also a matter of your user being logged in there | 23:39 |
| TTT | found it, colinux, too bad it's not ubuntu | 23:39 |
| LjL | ryanakca: perhaps you have automatic installation of "Suggests" enabled for some reason? firefox has the package "firefox-3.0-gnome-support" as a Suggests, which would explain that behavior | 23:40 |

So i leeched a LinuxLiveCD and now i'm in the live system and wanted to install GRUB with grub-install /dev/hda but there is no /dev/hda in my live system, just a /dev/disk which is the linux partition of the hddrive. What shal i do now to revive my Ubuntu? | 23:55 |
