| dexharv | I used Wubi to install Ubuntu in Vista. I loaded it up and the wireless card isn't picking up any networks, so i looked to Help - which is telling me to open something (Administration > Network) that doesn't exist. Help? | 00:10 |
| killerKC | can you use a wireless ps2 controller on a pc | 00:10 |

| |Jason8| | did I read that right? | 00:11 |
| killerKC | can you connect a 2.4ghz wierless ps2 controler to a wireless card | 00:12 |
| fryguy | killerKC: no | 00:12 |
| fosco_ | shadowvice: if downloading you can cancel with Ctrl+C, if installing/configuring you'd better wait till ends | 00:12 |
| killerKC | ok thx | 00:12 |
| beli | Uplink: dynamically linked files use libraries placed on your filesystem....ldd showed what libs it needs....and it tells.....that libruby is missing....but its there...in the actual dir....so i guess it just does not find the lib....place it to a dir where it is found......or make a dynamically link to it.... | 00:12 |
| shadowwulf | fosco_, ok thanks , its installing | 00:12 |
| fryguy | yawn, been 3+ hours asking my question. I guess nobody has a definitive answer for me. Should start on the next problem then | 00:13 |
| killerKC | well i dont use wirelesss can the the card be modded | 00:13 |
| shadowwulf | what would cause a dual core machine to run slow on the update ? | 00:13 |
| dexharv | I used Wubi to install Ubuntu in Vista. I loaded it up and the wireless card isn't picking up any networks, so i looked to Help - which is telling me to open something (Administration > Network) that doesn't exist. Help? | 00:13 |

| Uplink | beli: is /usr/lib/ the right place to put libs? | 00:16 |
| fryguy | Taigan: or just edit the double space preferent in about:config or the edit|preferences menu in firefox | 00:16 |
| killerKC | dex, call customer support <lol | 00:16 |
| beli | Uplink: why not try? | 00:16 |
| killerKC | idk what to say dude | 00:16 |

| killerKC | ima go toke a bowl, ima bookmark | 00:16 |
| Taigan | fryguy, do you know what preference it would be in, in about:config? | 00:17 |
| fryguy | Taigan: no idea, try #firefox | 00:17 |
| fryguy | Taigan: it'll be in bold because you changed it | 00:17 |
| xcerca | does vlc still have a lirc plugin , i couldn't find it | 00:17 |
| fryguy | it's probably just in the edit|preferences menu too | 00:17 |
| KhoaticMind | hi guys, does anyone has any idea how can a normal user umount a loop mounted device? | 00:17 |
| Taigan | fryguy, alrigh tlet me check it out and i already tried the edit preferences menu i didn't find anything | 00:17 |
| KhoaticMind | i think i can't umount it because its using /dev/loop0, which belongs to root | 00:18 |

| Taigan | fryguy, none of the font settings were changed | 00:19 |
| kkathman | icqnumber, probably you should read the problem, before offering a factoid that doesnt apply :) | 00:19 |
| beli | Uplink: so it is missing...find out what package includes that lib and install it | 00:19 |
| icqnumber | kkathman, yep, there is a trouble section on the page | 00:19 |
| kkathman | well yeah...but its "install flash" lol | 00:20 |
| Uplink | beli: how do i do that? what package includes? what | 00:20 |
| kkathman | its odd, audio works most everywhere else that I can tell, and works fine in Firefox under KDE | 00:20 |
| cwill747 | !info libflashsupport | kkathman | 00:20 |
| ubottu | kkathman: Package libflashsupport does not exist in intrepid | 00:20 |
| kkathman | so it has to be ubuntu specific | 00:20 |
| beli | Uplink: ask your external masterbrain......google | 00:20 |
| bastid_raZor | KhoaticMind; have you tried using sudo umount ? | 00:20 |
| KhoaticMind | bastid_raZor: with sudo it works, the problem is i'm trying to use it as a regular user | 00:21 |
| icqnumber | kkathman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash?action=show&redirect=Flash | 00:21 |
| kkathman | ubottu, then wouldnt that mean I could not see ANY flash at all ? | 00:21 |

| jayyers | anyone remmeber the site im talk bout? | 00:22 |
| cwill747 | kkathman: i would recommend installing flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, as it replaces libflashsupport which used to fix the problem | 00:22 |
| lavacano201014 | fosco_: Is Audacious another XMMS clone? | 00:23 |
| fosco_ | lavacano201014: yes | 00:23 |

| fryguy | so, I just upgraded to 8.10 and now my sound (intel HD, internal speaker), is maxed out full blast (or muted), and my headphone jack no longer works. Muting master or pcm mutes, nothing else in volume controls has any affect. What can I do to get my old audio behavior back? | 00:24 |
| lavacano201014 | droopsta915: This IRC channel is. As well as the Ubuntu Wiki | 00:24 |
| lavacano201014 | As both are always up to date | 00:24 |
| Taigan | fryguy, how do i change everything back to default in firefox? | 00:24 |

| lavacano201014 | droopsta915: If you want to read about it, head on down to https://wiki.ubuntu.com | 00:24 |
| fryguy | Taigan: delete ~/.mozilla | 00:24 |
| beli | Uplink: ubuntu firefox package? | 00:25 |
| lavacano201014 | droopsta915: And if you have a support issue, come to us. | 00:25 |
| Uplink | beli: ? | 00:25 |
| fosco_ | Taigan: mv .mozilla/ .MOZILLA/ | 00:25 |
| fosco_ | then start firefox | 00:25 |

| Cluber | how do i change terminal window name in shell script? | 00:26 |
| Descention | what's the application that shows the network connection manager in the notification area of the ubuntu menu bar? | 00:26 |
| Antioch | MasterShrek Havent bothered to try using mine in linux yet. Creative JUST released the drivers open source last week, finally, and I heard theyre in shitty shape as is.... | 00:26 |
| Uplink | beli: i have firefox | 00:26 |
| Antioch | MasterShrek Though I recall seeing a thread on ubuntuforums.org about getting the old drivers to work | 00:26 |
| fosco_ | Descention: nm-applet | 00:26 |
| beli | so....check /usr/lib/firefox for the missing lib | 00:26 |
| Taigan | fosco, it's still double spacing everything | 00:26 |
| Descention | fosco_: thank you | 00:26 |
| lavacano201014 | Small question, related to make in general: If I run "make clean", do I have to run "./configure" again to re-compile? | 00:26 |
| Taigan | fosco, i think this problem started after i had tried to install openbox | 00:27 |
| KhoaticMind | lavacano201014: usually no | 00:27 |
| fosco_ | Taigan: take a screenshot and upload it to imageshack.us | 00:27 |
| Cluber | how do i change terminal window name in shell script? | 00:27 |
| lavacano201014 | KhoaticMind: OK, because I knew that was the case with distclean | 00:27 |
| fryguy | lavacano201014: semantics, but ./configure doesn't compile. and usually make clean won't remove anything that autoconfigure generated | 00:27 |
| Uplink | beli: there is no /usr/lib/firefox... only /usr/lib/mozilla | 00:27 |
| Taigan | fosco, okay hold on | 00:27 |
| Adys | Heya - Is there a proper way to disable nautilus temporarily? Killing it just brings it back up a sec later | 00:27 |
| fosco_ | Cluber: -e name (in many terminals) | 00:28 |
| beli | Uplink: then check that...i am not on ubuntu atm and i am also not a ubuntu specialized linux user ;) | 00:28 |
| lavacano201014 | fryguy: I knew that, but before you can actually COMPILE, you need to use ./configure (unless it was a make clean, like an earlier answer said) | 00:28 |
| Uplink | beli: you said you could solve the problem tho | 00:28 |
| MasterShrek | thanks Antioch | 00:28 |
| * lavacano201014 recompiles Pidgin now that he knows what he's doing again | 00:28 | |
| symptom | !motd | 00:28 |

| beli | Uplink: i can for sure :) i can also do it together with you :) | 00:28 |

| guitarMan666 | is there a problem in the Compiz packaged with Intrepid? it won't enable at all and 3D works fine for everything else. | 00:30 |
| beli | Uplink: its like with cars...if you can drive a car......and i mean not just know howto drive it....you can drive all kind of cars...not just audi or ford ;) | 00:30 |
| kkathman | cwill747, ok I'll try to install that and see what happens. | 00:30 |
| Antioch | MasterShrek np | 00:30 |
| Uplink | beli: so how can i install libxpcom.so ? | 00:30 |
| fosco_ | Cluber: sorry, -t name | 00:30 |
| Antioch | guitarMan666 not sure, but in Hoary some gfx cards were blacklisted from turning compiz on, and you had to unblack list them to get it working. | 00:31 |
| agamalama | does anyone know the site/command to upgrade ubuntu repositories? | 00:31 |
| Taigan | fosco, http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/1193/97296841az4.th.png | 00:31 |
| beli | Uplink: i guess it is already on your filesystem if you have firefox installed...but its just not found....at first locate the libxpcom.so file | 00:31 |
| fosco_ | Taigan: can see nothing | 00:31 |
| fosco_ | gimme last link | 00:31 |
| Antioch | guitarMan666 try searching for your gfx card model/name and compiz on ubuntuforums see if that comes up. | 00:31 |
| guitarMan666 | Antioch: how would i go about unblacking it? | 00:31 |
| Uplink | beli: how can i locate it? i tried whereis but that doesnt help much | 00:31 |

| cdecarlo | I'm working out how to change my home network from dhcp to static ip's, my /etc/network/interfaces file has me a little weirded out, the only thing in it is the loopback, how am I able to connect to my network? | 01:51 |
| xxpor | hey does anyone have suspend or hibernate working on an HP tx2500? | 01:51 |
| LF|Irssi | it's just that i cant get the java working (WOrks in firefox) so i know i have the Java plugins | 01:51 |
| Anacranom | user1949, sounds like you were saved just in time, get 8.04 back, 8.10 may not be ready for you yet, new users&8.10=nonfriendly | 01:51 |
| gareth_ | Uplink: In my network manager none of my wireless networks show up, and I dont have a network icon by the volume and all that | 01:51 |
| temppy | cdecarlo: use google to find an example file | 01:51 |
| DarkKnight | banzhang, thanx...i'll do | 01:51 |
| xxpor | Can you install Ubuntu from a flash drive? | 01:52 |
| minime283 | can uname -r to return the wrong linux kernel version number? | 01:52 |
| joebodo | xxpor yes - i have done it | 01:52 |
| cdecarlo | temppy: I've a few howto's, I'm not asking how to make the switch, I'm asking why it is I can connect to my network with out anything in my interfaces file except the loopback | 01:52 |
| Uplink | gareth_: can you run it? NetworkManager | 01:52 |
| cdecarlo | *read | 01:52 |
| xxpor | joebodo: do you have some instructions? | 01:53 |
| binarymutant | whats the correct way to do this? XS-Python-Version: >=2.3 | 01:53 |
| genii-around | cdecarlo: If you add some entry in interfaces, the networkmanager ignores the interface now thinking it is manually configured | 01:53 |
| usser | cdecarlo, all network settings in ubuntu are managed by network manager, you can uninstall it if u wanna go back to manual settings but theres also an option in network manager itself that lets you assign ip manually | 01:53 |

| Uplink | gareth_: "sudo NetworkManager" | 01:55 |
| user1949 | jrib: ok, i did startx... and I'm at a blank screen.... | 01:56 |
| usser | cdecarlo, yea but if u know what u doing then u can always manually configure it and as somebody pointed out network manager will ignore the interface thats manually configured | 01:56 |
| jrib | user1949: umm, I'm not sure startx does a sensible thing if you haven't setup a ~/.xinitrc or the like. I was suggesting /etc/init.d/gdm start | 01:56 |

| gareth_ | Uplink: Entered that, then entered my password, then nothing happened | 01:57 |
| genii-around | cdecarlo: Yes | 01:57 |
| jrib | user1949: just hit ctrl-alt-f1, login, reboot, that will be easiest | 01:57 |
| EruditeHermit | joebodo: is there any resource other than that? My webcam still works with the old kernel. The new kernel breaks it | 01:57 |

| bazhang | Gerden, you can try | 02:43 |
| jpatota | ive got this problem with gnome and ubuntu 8.10 where when i unmaxamize a window open for the first time the top appears under the top panel which causes me to have to move the panel to move the rouge window. any thoughts? | 02:43 |
| stuart | have any of you guys experienced not being able to surf, but can irc, msn, etc? | 02:43 |
| Guest93223 | ty | 02:43 |
| mindrape | Gerden - usually the alternate cd (console install) is much "safer" and likely to work than awful GUI installers. | 02:43 |
| mindrape | stuart - never. | 02:44 |
| storrgie | jtisme: if i use 10.0.0.x what subnet should i choose and should i just make 1 the dns? | 02:44 |
| stuart | dang, i can't seem to surf on ubuntu now. but i can irc and msn just fine | 02:44 |
| Sir_Sid | jpatota, do you have 2 monitors? | 02:44 |
| PeskyJ | Gerden: did you try plugging in a different physical CD drive? | 02:44 |
| Sir_Sid | Because I had that problem a lot | 02:44 |
| Sir_Sid | So I moved both bars to the bottom | 02:44 |
| luke__ | ok now i see the screenlet manager | 02:44 |
| Gerden | thank you very much for your time and help | 02:45 |
| luke__ | how did that command pull it up | 02:45 |
| mindrape | luke__ good to know. | 02:45 |
| Eressolar | joebodo: No luck with \: , but it's not big deal. I'll just use a hyphen as a seperator instead | 02:45 |
| luke__ | because i dont see it in the system pref. | 02:45 |
| jpatota | Sir_Sid: no just one | 02:45 |
| mindrape | luke__ maybe your launcher for strace is passing a bad parameter | 02:45 |
| mindrape | err screenlet | 02:45 |
| jtisme | storrgie, 10.0.0 the last zero is the subnet and yes you could make the dns address 1 and start the nic addresses say above 10 or something like that | 02:45 |
| gareth_ | Anyone know how to get network manager, I just upgraded to 8.10 and now it is gone | 02:45 |
| mindrape | strace will show what is going on behind the scenes... try just running screenlet without strace | 02:45 |
| luke__ | is that the command? | 02:45 |
| mindrape | luke__ apparently so if strace screenlet works | 02:46 |
| luke__ | just "screenlet" | 02:46 |
| jtisme | storrgie, but if the are both connected to each other what would u need dns for | 02:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | gareth_: it should still be in the notification area on the panel | 02:46 |

| FloridaGuy | greghere, i used update manager | 03:07 |
| greghere | temppy, I was wondering weather it is ok for a standalone box? | 03:07 |
| ville__ | hi! I just started to wonder if an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 is a less good option to a fresh install ? | 03:07 |
| storrgie | jtisme: yes all seem to work | 03:07 |
| ad_ | anyone have any idea how me installing a theme has stopped my emerald theme manager from working properly | 03:08 |
| storrgie | jtisme: except for wireless on the other machine | 03:08 |
| greghere | floridaguy, Where is "update manager"? | 03:08 |
| mindrape | ville__: six of one, a half dozen of the other... I've never had problems going through multiple upgrades and I've been on the same install since 2005. | 03:08 |
| joebodo | administration->update manager | 03:08 |
| jtisme | storrgie, the problem is probably routing on the wireless machine | 03:08 |

| FloridaGuy | system administration | 03:08 |
| temppy | greghere: I dunno, but better for what? Its just harddisk access. You mainly want it to be reliable. I've had ubuntu hard reboot on me, and my filesystem is fine, probably do to the journaling of ext3 | 03:08 |
| mylisto | whats the difference between ubuntu and fedora? | 03:08 |
| jtisme | storrgie, what is the ip address of the wireless | 03:08 |

| greghere | counter|sleep, uh, Ok, why not? | 03:11 |
| joebodo | i thought server edition does not install x - therefore - no x programs will work | 03:11 |
| jtisme | storrgie, u mean 192.168.1.1 is the router | 03:11 |
| ravengirl | thought so | 03:11 |

| nathan42100 | anyone? | 03:11 |
| counter|sleep | greghere too experimental | 03:11 |
| Flannel | joebodo: If you install an X program, you'll then have X. Server edition just doesn't install graphical stuff by default. | 03:11 |

| storrgie | jtisme: i dont have an entry for the wlan interface | 03:17 |

| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 03:30 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Its been flashing for about 30 minutes now, so I don't think its going anywhere :/ | 03:30 |
| richard_ | is there any way that i can configure a user so that files it writes have universally open permissions (777) by default (i know it's horribly insecure. this is on a closed network, so i'm not concerned.) | 03:30 |
| joebodo | richard_ man umask | 03:30 |
| jrib | richard_: set umask appropriately | 03:30 |
| gavagai | I accidentally removed the wireless network thing on the panel! how do i add it back? i don't see it in the options when i right click and choose add to panel. | 03:31 |
| richard_ | thanks | 03:31 |
| sbingner | or, more appropriately... set umask inappropriately :D | 03:31 |
| jrib | sbingner: heh :) | 03:31 |
| joebodo | gavagai alt-f2 nm-applet | 03:31 |
| gavagai | joebodo, thanks | 03:31 |
| richard_ | haha, man umask outputs No manual entry for umask, oh well | 03:32 |
| richard_ | time for web man pages | 03:32 |
| richard_ | :) | 03:32 |
| gavagai | joebodo, that didn't bring it back | 03:32 |
| joebodo | richard_ sorry it's probly listed in the shell man pages | 03:32 |
| joebodo | richard_ ill see if i can find it | 03:32 |
| jrib | richard_: install manpages-posix or do help umask | 03:32 |
| gavagai | i lost the left seperator, the battery display, and the wireless display in one wrong click. i was just trying to remove the seperator thing. | 03:33 |
| chuy_max | hey guys, how can I know if my wireless net card supports monitor mode?, I ran "iwconfig eth1 mode Monitor" (3com card) without luck, saying the arguments are invalid, but then I ran it on wlan0 (AIN card) and it worked without problem | 03:33 |
| joebodo | gavagai - oh that's the notification area applet | 03:33 |
| joebodo | gavagai - see if you can just re-add that | 03:33 |
| gavagai | joebodo, that worked thanks | 03:34 |
| FinkoCamo | My external FAT32 HDD is only allowing read permissions. I cant cut or paste anything onto it. Have I mounted it incorrectly I assume? | 03:34 |

| Decepticon | also how do i get icons to the disks ive mounted via /etc/fstab | 03:36 |
| squee_ | lavacano201014: i thought it did, wasn't it a partially transparent image? | 03:36 |

| xcerca | ok thanks, i removed all of the firefox32 stuff, and installed firefox and ubuntu-restricted-extras , then i had to install flashplugin-nonfree and my flash works | 03:37 |
| gareth_ | Anyone know how to get network manager in 8.10? I have tried everything, and nothing works | 03:37 |
| joebodo | xcerca congrats | 03:37 |
| xcerca | but java looks like it works, but can i still install the sun java plugin in firefox64 | 03:37 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | What is the difference between the desktop and server versions? | 03:38 |
| counter|sleep | great xcerca ;) | 03:38 |
| n8tuser | gareth_-> if you do sudo network-manager & anything pops up? | 03:38 |
| richard_ | apparently the umask entry is a subsection of bash_builtins | 03:38 |
| Flannel | CoJaBo-Eee: The desktop has a GUI installed by default, the server doesnt | 03:38 |
| Flannel | CoJaBo-Eee: Either are relatively easy to convert to the other, or have both, etc. | 03:38 |
| lavacano201014 | CoJaBo-Eee: Also, I think the server versions come with Apache, SSH, etc installed | 03:38 |
| mrbrdo | please, it's important that i fix this as fast as i can | 03:38 |
| augie | hey guys | 03:39 |

| joebodo | richard_ in the past, i have changed my umask by setting it in my .profile | 03:39 |
| augie | I just installed xp and now grub's gone | 03:39 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | So I can install the desktop version and get the same setup as the server? I can't get the server installer to work. | 03:39 |

| xcerca | when i goto compose an email on msn the box doesn't come up , what choice open java plugins are there, what should i try , i have IcedTea right now ... how would i use a wrapper to use the sun-java plugin in firefox 64 ? | 03:39 |
| Roasted | lava - 750?? | 03:39 |
| Roasted | sudo chmod 750 jason is what I would run? | 03:39 |
| lavacano201014 | Roasted: Unless you want other people to write to your stuff | 03:40 |
| mindrape | mrbrdo - when it gets to that point ALT F1 or ALT F2 to get to a console (might have to CTRL ALT F1 if you are in a gui installer) and see what the console msgs say. | 03:40 |
| lavacano201014 | And edit family pictures, etc | 03:40 |
| Roasted | the only people I want to write to my stuff is my laptop when I log into it through samba... my home directory is shared on samba but only with authentication from my samba account. Would 750 prevent this? | 03:40 |
| lavacano201014 | How high is a horizontal panel in pixels? | 03:40 |
| n8tuser | gareth_-> if you do sudo network-admin & my misstype earlier.. | 03:40 |

| gigel2007 | n8tuser: tried but the connect button is inactive | 03:42 |
| gareth_ | n8tuser: what is the command? | 03:42 |
| LF|Irssi | Shawnc: it's most likely your same pass you use to login to ubuntu with thats how webmin is so maybe it might work for ebox | 03:43 |
| _cb | At the company I work for we tried giving away some old computers and did not find any takers. Loaded Ubuntu and Ubunto working fine. Am thinking there is a business opportunity helping companies get rid of their old computers, loading Ubuntu and selling them. Anyone doing that willing to share some advice? | 03:43 |
| n8tuser | gareth_-> you do sudo network-admin & | 03:43 |
| Out_Cold | isn't the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 just 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'? | 03:43 |
| Shawnc | i know wut the pass is lftl | 03:43 |
| Shawnc | LF|Irssi | 03:43 |
| Shawnc | but i dont like it | 03:43 |
| n8tuser | gigel2007-> then on the command line do sudo dhclient wlan0 | 03:43 |
| mindrape | !upgrade | Out_Cold | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Out_Cold: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 03:43 |
| Shawnc | how do i change it? | 03:43 |
| Flannel | _cb: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that. | 03:43 |
| FloodBot3 | Shawnc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:43 |
| _cb | Thanks | 03:43 |
| gigel2007 | n8tuser: what is that for ? | 03:43 |
| gareth_ | n8tuser: all I get is [1] 10812 | 03:44 |
| n8tuser | gigel2007-> what are you trying to accomplish? | 03:44 |
| Shawnc | LF|Irssi? | 03:44 |
| LF|Irssi | Shawnc: that im not sure sorry | 03:44 |
| gavagai | VLC won't play my dvd. Do i need to install something extra for dvd playback? | 03:44 |
| Shawnc | ffs | 03:44 |
| gigel2007 | n8tuser: to connect to my hidden network, but I write the info in the blanks and the connect button is inactive | 03:44 |
| Shawnc | im angry at this thing | 03:44 |
| n8tuser | gareth_-> i wonder if network-admin is installed for you | 03:44 |
| LF|Irssi | I personally refuse to use ebox | 03:44 |
| n8tuser | gigel2007-> then on the command line do sudo dhclient wlan0 | 03:44 |

| stinger | Flannel, yeah i herd its not all that stable yet and adding deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu to my rep seem to get me firefox 3 | 03:54 |
| gigel2007 | n8tuser: yes I even ran the command I got something about ports and it kept going | 03:54 |
| droopsta915 | critical5:I had the same problem, my flashdrive was read as a hidden device, I'm afraid I tryed it in xp, it installed the hardware then I was able to use it in ubuntu. | 03:54 |

| justin_ | command not found | 03:56 |
| n8tuser | gigel2007--> do it a couple more times, and if you still not getting an ip address, your AP is not associating with your wifi | 03:56 |
| gigel2007 | n8tuser: what? I can connect to normal networks ! | 03:57 |
| Flannel | stinger: Install kubuntu-desktop, and you'll have the Ubuntu one (well, Kubuntu one) | 03:57 |

| n8tuser | gigel2007--> why do you hide it? what happens if you activate your AP broadcasting of your essid ? | 03:58 |
| nathan42100 | too bad it isn't open source | 03:58 |
| gigel2007 | n8tuser: you can get hacked more easily | 03:59 |
| cfffq | gigel2007, maybe 19seconds more? | 04:00 |

| rww | nathan42100, vino as in the remote desktop server for gnome? it's in main, so i'm pretty sure it's free/open source software =/ | 04:00 |

| orci | nathan42100, what do you mean vino is not open source | 04:00 |
| justin_ | if you're using a solid encryption standard like WPA2, you'll be fine | 04:00 |

| rww | unless we're talking about different apps named "vino" here | 04:01 |
| justin_ | best available atm | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | gigel2007--> do an sudo iwlist wlan0 scan to see if it appears ..assuming you are broadcasting temporarily | 04:02 |
| joebodo | best | 04:02 |
| justin_ | n8tuser, I installed xresprobe, ran ddcprobe and got at the end edidfail | 04:02 |
| joebodo | best thing to do is setup your router to only accept connections from specific ips | 04:03 |
| joebodo | *specifc macs | 04:03 |

| bsusa | hello all | 04:05 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest80728 | ||
| n8tuser | justin_--> as a rule of thumb, always make a backup copy of the xorg.conf before you modify it | 04:06 |
| justin_ | right, I do that - I just don't know enough about it to do anything useful | 04:07 |

| cfffq | mrbrdo, look sharp | 04:09 |
| mrbrdo | cfffq at what? | 04:09 |
| ^Einstein | bsusa: I think it's fixed in the latest release for most hardware? | 04:09 |
| mrbrdo | $ cat boot | 04:09 |
| mrbrdo | pts/0 | 04:09 |
| n8tuser | storrgie--> you dont have a default gateway | 04:09 |
| cfffq | at files .log | 04:09 |
| storrgie | n8tuser: how shall i remedy this"? | 04:10 |
| mrbrdo | cfffq it's /var/log/boot it's not .log | 04:10 |
| bsusa | oh ok so in 8.10 | 04:10 |

| Shawnc | HOW DO I UNINSTALL EBOX? | 04:11 |
| joebodo | shawnc i would guess sudo apt-get remove ebox | 04:12 |
| Shadow420 | hi ya everyone | 04:12 |
| bullgard4 | Shawnc: People in this channel do not like that you write all letters in upper case. | 04:12 |
| ^Einstein | perchance do we have a !caps warning? heheh. | 04:13 |
| joebodo | !caps | 04:13 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 04:13 |

| ZXCZXC | i got win xp and ubuntu on the same hdd, how to uninstall ubuntu? | 04:13 |
| ^Einstein | indeed we do. | 04:13 |
| joebodo | !uninstall | 04:14 |

| ZXCZXC | !uninstall | 04:14 |
| Shadow420 | Shawnc | !edict | 04:14 |
| rww | ZXCZXC, did you install ubuntu with wubi, or on a separate partition? | 04:14 |
| ^Einstein | ZXCZXC: manually edit partition tables and turn your Ubuntu partition into freespace. | 04:14 |
| Flannel | Shawnc: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 04:14 |
| ZXCZXC | rww, with grub on the separate part | 04:14 |
| helix | is there a regex channel ? | 04:14 |
| ^Einstein | ZXCZXC: boot with live CD, and edit partition tables, unless you installed with wubi. | 04:15 |
| Flannel | Shawnc: try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge ebox ebox-* | 04:15 |
| ^Einstein | helix: no idea, you might try perldocs or manpages | 04:15 |
| nickrud | ZXCZXC, boot xp, use it to write the mbr, and you're done. Do whatever you want with the ubuntu partition | 04:15 |
| n8tuser | helix--> try the nice folks at #bash | 04:15 |
| helix | ^Einstein, i'll go ask on php channel | 04:15 |
| Flannel | helix: Or #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:15 |

| darkbishop | i got parted rar file... how do i combine it back to 1... before this i use winrar.. since its in wondows.. how do i extract it in ubuntu... cos all the downloaded house series is like tat. | 04:18 |

| darkbishop | saga_:what kind of player did u use? | 04:18 |
| Saga_ | darkbishop, anything -- but I prefer using Gnome MPlayer | 04:19 |
| nickrud | ZXCZXC, ok, what's going on right now is grub has a bit of software at the very beginning of the hard drive, the Master Boot Record. What you want to do is have that software in the master boot record boot xp directly. I don't use windows enough to guide you in doing that, but that's the goal. the people in #windows can tell you exactly. | 04:19 |
| ^Einstein | darkbishop, maybe the cat function to concatenate files either before or after unzipping, I'm not sure | 04:19 |
| ToddEDM | ok guys, im trying to get my home folder off of the main partition, and place it on another for backup... how can i get the folder copied when im in liveCD????? | 04:19 |
| darkbishop | saga_: i dont have trouble using VLC... maybe u can try tat | 04:19 |
| ^Einstein | ToddEDM: mount your partition and plug in backup media | 04:19 |
| joebodo | darkbishop you should be able to select any of the files and open with archive manager | 04:19 |
| joebodo | darkbishop archive maanger will combine them automatically | 04:20 |
| nickrud | ZXCZXC, once you've rewritten that mbr, the ubuntu partition is just like any other, and you can rewrite it as an ntfs one. | 04:20 |
| darkbishop | joebodo:hold on.lemme try it for a sec. | 04:20 |
| ToddEDM | i have both partitions mounted, i need permission | 04:20 |
| endo602 | Anyone know how to enable 720p for Nvidia? | 04:20 |
| Saga_ | darkbishop, I'm sure it'll work with VLC (In fact, I'm going to install it just in case) but I'd like to figure out why this wouldn't work with just any Linux players. | 04:20 |
| ^Einstein | ToddEBM if you can see them, then you already have the permission you need.... | 04:21 |
| Saga_ | darkbishop, Maybe I don't have libdvdcss2 installed -- but when I typed that -- Ubuntu-restricted-extras showed up. | 04:21 |
| ToddEDM | ^Einstein: no i dont, im in liveCD | 04:21 |

I found this resource online: http://www.davidgrant.ca/virtualbox_usb_windows_xp_guest_ubuntu_hardy but am unsure as to where in the script I should put the recommended line. Could someone please help me out with that? | 04:21 |
| KyTiX | ToddEDM: Try sudo Nautilus , then try it. | 04:21 |
| Shawnc | ø20:14:59ø Flannel • Shawnc: try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge ebox ebox-* | 04:21 |
| endo602 | dotblank: i man i cant set it to the correct resolution | 04:21 |
| ^Einstein | ToddEBM, like I said, even under the live CD, if you have read permissions, you can both see it and *copy iy* | 04:21 |
| ToddEDM | KyTiX: thats what i tried, but still not gettin permission | 04:22 |
| Shawnc | i did.... but it wont go away | 04:22 |
| Shawnc | i even killed its proccess | 04:22 |

| lovemij | no i disagree | 04:29 |
| n8tuser | ^Einstein--> which inaccuracy? | 04:29 |
| KyTiX | Agentblood -->> You need to go into the BIOS and set the CD to be the first device to boot, put the hard drive second. | 04:29 |
| KyTiX | Do you have Windows installed already? If so, boot from the CD, enter the recovery console (press R when it asks you whether you want to install windows etc.) When you're at the console, type: | 04:29 |
| KyTiX | fixmbr | 04:29 |
| KyTiX | and that will remove GRUB from your system. | 04:29 |
| KyTiX | If you don't have Windows installed, GRUB will be overwritten as part of the installation. | 04:29 |

| Shadow420 | xcerca it's mainly sun.com hasn't made a 64 bit version | 04:29 |
| dotblank | <endo602> It might be that the DVI is not reporting the resolution correctly or that the device does not support 720p | 04:29 |

| nickrud | xcerca, ah, that factoid is still around. I've used it successfully in the past | 04:37 |
| blizzardman1219 | When I open the grub.conf file with gedit it comes up blank... | 04:38 |
| nickrud | blizzardman1219, menu.lst . grub.conf is a redhatism | 04:38 |

| xcerca | i'm working on this one | 04:39 |
| ditch64 | ^Einstein: soo should i even try to diagnose the issue, or is it just kinda useless? because if i cant pair it then i might aswell go back to windows | 04:40 |
| nickrud | ^Einstein, if you save a config option in gedit while using sudo, it will write to your home dir with root permissions, with obvious bad results. gksu ensures that /root is used as the home dir, preventing damage to your configs. you can do sudo env | sort and gksu env | sort to see the different environments | 04:40 |
| ^Einstein | ditch64: I said it was unrecoverable, not unfixable. all that means is that it probably crashes your computer and you have to do a hard restart. | 04:40 |
| ^Einstein | ditch64: try searching the forums for BlueTooth or your device name. | 04:41 |
| xcerca | ditch64 , what kind of phone and bluetooth ? | 04:41 |
| ditch64 | ^Einstein: ya i know its unrecovable, but im just confuddled, theres going to be a reason and its probably a pretty universial problem, meaning a universial fix. someone has to have fixed it somehow | 04:42 |

| gigel2007 | Why is my wireless connection so slow ? max 30 KB/s when I download ubuntu updates or apt-get ? | 04:42 |

| xcerca | anything that works in windows can work in linux , it's the same hardware and the software is open source | 04:42 |

| Leefmc | gigel2007: Well theres an opensource alternative, etc. Try the non-free version | 04:52 |
| Flannel | justizin: GRUB is default. It shouldn't have used lilo (unless thats a xen thing) | 04:53 |
| Flannel | justizin: But, if you go into the expert mode on the alternate CD, you can manually install the bootloader at install time (either lilo or grub) | 04:53 |
| justizin | Flannel: i thought that might be the case, though I certainly have some ubuntu vms at providers who manage the install for me, which use grub.. | 04:53 |
| justizin | alternate CD, eh? | 04:53 |
| joebodo | gigel2007 try ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:54 |

While my pc was booted to the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, I accidently did something in GParted to my ntfs harddrive so that it showed up as "unknown" and wouldn't boot. Now I am using TestDisk. Can you advise on how to recover the ntfs hard drive (which had Win XP) ? | 04:55 |
| justizin | you could try going back and resetting the partition type | 04:55 |
| DasEi | vosges: space ? (anyway, isn't wubi a single *.exe file ?) | 04:55 |
| justizin | Flannel: as for (b), any idea how to get into single user mode with the LILO I have? it starts booting about as soon as I get keyboard control at all | 04:56 |

| Flannel | justizin: Nope, I haven't used lilo in... forever. | 04:57 |
| justizin | darkbishop: consider i'm talking about a system which doesn't behave like all the other ubuntu and debian systems i've used over the past ten years, a faq may not be what i'm looking for. ;) | 04:57 |
| PupUser1e3567 | justizin, how exactly would i reset the partition, and in which program | 04:57 |
| justizin | Flannel: I'll live.. | 04:57 |
| justizin | PupUser1e3567: go back to gparted or use fdisk in a rescue console or somesuch.. | 04:58 |
| nickrud | justizin, lilo doesn't allow interrupting the boot process like grub does, you'd have to use a live cd to write a proper stanza | 04:58 |
| justizin | nickrud: it did in the 90s.. | 04:58 |
| justizin | before there was GRUB, when we only had LILO, the "LILO" had a prompt. think it must have delay 0 set.. | 04:58 |
| darkbishop | justizin: it was for me..... i dont really know much about ubuntu... but trought everyone converstion i try to learn them all... | 04:59 |
| justizin | it doesn't have a fancy ui like grub, but you can usually type something like 'linux single' | 04:59 |

| ralf | darkbishop: it tried using an atheros driver that didnt work at all. the methods on the ubuntu site only allow me to scan but i cannot connect | 05:02 |

| genii | gigel2007: It is in the repositories. However you may want to add the winehq repositories for a more current version | 05:18 |
| DasEi | gigel2007:sudo ... | 05:18 |
| gigel2007 | DasEi: thanks, by the way for future refference, how can I check if something is in the repositories ? | 05:18 |

| gigel2007 | DasEi: yup I got it :) | 05:19 |
| nickrud | gigel2007, you should try using the synaptic package manager until you get a handle on how the repositories work. Fewer commands to learn, cuz it gui, and it has some pretty useful quirks | 05:19 |

| fryguy | so, I just upgraded to 8.10 and now my sound (intel HD, internal speaker), is maxed out full blast (or muted), and my headphone jack no longer works. Muting master or pcm mutes, nothing else in volume controls has any affect. What can I do to get my old audio behavior back? | 05:20 |
| edgy | sorry wrong channel ;) | 05:20 |
| DasEi | fryguy: install alsamixer | 05:21 |
| gigel2007 | nickrud: oh ok, I'll look into it, ty! | 05:21 |

| fryguy | Tyrath: it's one of the reasons distributions use package managers, to handle the installation and uninstallation of programs and related files for you | 05:27 |
| Hikefu | do you have the folder -- sudo make uninstall | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, if you're lucky, there's a make uninstall | 05:27 |
| y0ul053 | yeah | 05:27 |
| DasEi | fryguy: no furthwer ideas, hm install alsa-firmwareloaders, reboot or check /etc/modules for the right driver <> figure right one out load with modprobe | 05:27 |
| Tyrath | nickrud: how would I use that? | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, just like you used sudo make install | 05:27 |
| fryguy | DasEi: the correct driver is loaded, it's the same driver as was used in 8.04 | 05:27 |

| nickrud | Tyrath, it's a recommended practice, creating the uninstall, but not all sources have it. Otherwise, manual deletion is your only other option | 05:28 |

| fryguy | BigMike: change from the KDE window manager (kwin) to compiz | 05:35 |
| nickrud | fryguy, sound troubleshooting sucks, doesn't it | 05:35 |
| BigMike | ok to I have to uninstall the other | 05:35 |
| fryguy | nickrud: troubleshooting all of the hardware issues that cropped up when I upgraded sucks | 05:35 |

| BigMike | or where do you change to it I installed it | 05:35 |
| nickrud | fryguy, that's the reason I !clone and reinstall | 05:35 |

| fryguy | nickrud: I'm getting ready to just roll back to my backup at this point. I've got about a dozen problems since the upgrade, and nobody seems to be able to solve any of them | 05:37 |
| nickrud | BigMike, if you still have problems with compiz and kde, try asking in #kubuntu . Some knowledgeable people hang out there, kde specialists | 05:38 |
| nickrud | fryguy, I'd try !cloning and reinstalling. of course, pull in anything from /etc and /var and /usr/local you need, or pull from your backup | 05:38 |

| Finalphase | If I do vncviewer -fullscreen ubuntu:1 how do I exit fullscreen? | 05:44 |
| justizin | you can certainly install ubuntu in that much space, you'll have to keep it slim and may want to consider a flash card for storing pretty much anything that isn't the operating system. :) | 05:44 |
| justizin | sigmab3ta | 05:44 |
| cfffq | eeepc what uis that? | 05:44 |
| fryguy | cfffq: a computer manufacturered by asus | 05:44 |
| sigmab3ta | justizin: but you're sure it'll install correctly in 2GB right? | 05:44 |
| nickrud | sigmab3ta, it'll be a very tight fit for the standard install. Don't expect to add much | 05:45 |
| cfffq | aho_, the litle one | 05:45 |

| nickrud | fryguy, that, or if you have a complex enough install the upgrade didn't go well. I've learned to turn off any 3d party repos, disable all my goodies, and then do a fresh install anyway. If I had time to troubleshoot stuff and file bugs I'd do it differently, but I don't | 05:47 |

| tripitakit | mindframe-, i think u cant, the auto one i mean | 06:02 |
| unstable | gigel2007: yes | 06:02 |
| mindframe- | well the bad thing is its a static ip address | 06:03 |
| jja89 | :) why didn't someon tell me gpg has compression.... here i thought something was wrong! well, now i know. | 06:03 |
| Shaggedelic | gigel if its wireless there will be 4 bars and not the computer icon | 06:03 |
| gigel2007 | unstable: if you click on it do you see connections? | 06:03 |
| mindframe- | tripitakit, i have to manually run dhclient every time i want to get an address on a dhcp network | 06:03 |
| tripitakit | mindframe-, u can use ifconfg to configure eth | 06:03 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007: what result should i expact from this.its show me something... | 06:03 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: what ? | 06:03 |

| darkbishop | gigel2007:"airplay-ng --test wlan0 | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | is there anything i can save so if i wanted to reinstall ubuntu i wouldn't have to do a cat5 connection just to get wireless working again? | 06:04 |
| sparr | how can i change the dependencies of gcc-avr so that i can apt-get build-dep it? | 06:04 |
| unstable | gigel2007: in windows? | 06:04 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: oh ok yes, if it says Sysfs injection support was not found then injection doesn't work | 06:05 |
| mindrape | change dependencies... lol | 06:05 |
| regeya | o_O | 06:05 |
| Shaggedelic | you can save the binaries for your wireless driver | 06:05 |
| gigel2007 | unstable: in ubuntu | 06:05 |
| gigel2007 | unstable: just click on the icon, connections should appear if you have any | 06:05 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007 oh i found 1 ap.. so this mean it support injection rite? | 06:05 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: no | 06:05 |
| unstable | gigel2007: yea, it says wireless disabled when I click on it. | 06:05 |
| tripitakit | mindframe- i saw many problems with net-manager in interpid for wired connections (static ip mainly) | 06:05 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: what did it say ? | 06:05 |
| unstable | Wireless Networks, next line says wireless disabled. | 06:06 |
| mindframe- | ill google | 06:06 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007: lemme paste it in pastebin | 06:06 |

| Shaggedelic | it seems your wireless driver is not configured | 06:07 |
| histo | kindofabuzz: what type of wifi card do you have? | 06:07 |
| advizor | Send all to an ass! | 06:07 |
| kindofabuzz | histo, broadcom | 06:07 |

| gigel2007 | darkbishop: sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 | 06:09 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: then do the test again | 06:09 |
| gigel2007 | unstable: I can't figure it out, try asking here again how do you enable your wireless | 06:09 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: what laptop are you using? | 06:10 |
| gaintsura | how should I go about encrypting an already existing partition and make it only mount when my user is logged on? | 06:10 |
| osmosis | ugh...is audio/video playback broken ? | 06:10 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70813/ that what it say. | 06:11 |
| tripitakit | osmosis, why u asking? | 06:11 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: Thinkpad X61 | 06:11 |
| tripitakit | osmosis, mine is fine anyway | 06:11 |
| unstable | Intel wireless | 06:11 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: it was working, I right click and disabled wireless or something I think, and I'm not able to right click and re-enable it now. | 06:12 |
| osmosis | tripitakit: I have 3 computers I upgraded to intrepid ... since yesterday, any kind of audio or video playback doesn't worky anymore. | 06:12 |
| jimmacdonald | woot! Ubuntu 8.10 in HD on a 52inch screen | 06:12 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: one sec | 06:12 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: what card and driver you have ? | 06:12 |
| tripitakit | osmosis, have installed codecs and flashplugin? | 06:12 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable : what do you see when you right click on the computer icon on the top right | 06:13 |
| irpapabear | hello all :D | 06:13 |
| ryan_ | Anyone get virtual box to support a usb device? | 06:13 |
| osmosis | tripitakit: of course man. i already had all that, upgraded from hardy. the video starts to play, and then stops after buffering for a couple seconds. | 06:13 |
| irpapabear | hasn't tried ryan | 06:13 |
| tripitakit | osmosis, ouch | 06:13 |
| osmosis | ryan_: I get an error msg after upgrading that now says my virtualbox can't run with kvm kernel modules installed | 06:14 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007: broadcom 9431..... B43 driver... and got fwcutter as firmware.... | 06:14 |
| tripitakit | osmosis, does vlc act the same? | 06:14 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: Enable Networking is checked, enable wireless is not checked. And it's faded so if I click on it, notihng happens. | 06:14 |
| unstable | Connection Information, Edit Connections, About | 06:14 |
| irpapabear | you upgrade to 8.10 ryan | 06:14 |
| chris__ | anyone know how i can re-order which OS is default in GRUB? | 06:14 |
| osmosis | tripitakit: i have no audio or video playback of any kind | 06:14 |
| unstable | chris__: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:14 |
| chris__ | thanks | 06:14 |
| unstable | chris__: You'll see one of the first non-commented lines is "default 0", so 0 is the first listing on grub. 1 is the second listing, and so on. | 06:15 |
| irpapabear | brb | 06:15 |
| ryan_ | yeah, but I still haven't configured 8.10 on this system. Was busy putting 8.10 on a computer for my dad and configuring it for him | 06:15 |
| irpapabear | kk | 06:15 |
| tripitakit | osmosis, i cant figure out the reason, sorry :\ | 06:15 |
| Shaggedelic | did you update your kernel by ay chance? | 06:16 |
| gigel2007 | after Trying broadcast probe requests... it should say "Injection is working!" so my guess is that your card doesn't support it. Unfortunately I don't know your model. Try googling a driver or google and see if you can get injection to work. | 06:16 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: did you update your kernel by ay chance? | 06:16 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone know anything about the gedit snippets? | 06:16 |
| irpapabear | suggest you reinstall vbox | 06:16 |
| tripitakit | kindofabuzz, no but it looks interesting :P | 06:16 |
| jimmy01 | hey what is the name of the server edition channel? | 06:16 |
| kindofabuzz | tripitakit, doesn't seem like tab triggering works | 06:17 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: I did whatever automatic update update-manager told me about. I believe there was a kernel upgrade yes. But I didn't do anything on my own, I'm using stock/default Ubuntu, with stock sources, and I just clicked ok when update-manager prompted me about new updates. | 06:17 |
| chris__ | unstable: so i just cut the entry at the bottom and paste it to the top, and that's it? | 06:17 |
| kindofabuzz | is there a gedit channel? =) | 06:17 |
| unstable | chris__: you want to change the order it shows as? or change what boots first? | 06:17 |
| unstable | chris__: You could just leave the order, and change default 0, to default 3. or whatever. | 06:18 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: okies and you had to compile madwifi for wireless driver support earlier eh? | 06:18 |
| irpapabear | sorrry...back | 06:18 |
| unstable | chris__: but yes, moving around those paragraphs/blocks will work. | 06:18 |
| jimmy01 | Is this the place to ask question about the server edition of Ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| Flannel | jimmy01: This channel works yes, #ubuntu-server is another one, yes. | 06:18 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: no, it's intel wireless. I didn't compile anything. It's a completely stock Ibex install, literally nothing has been tweaked/modified. I only did an update with upgrade-manager when prompted. | 06:18 |
| chris__ | well i don't see any numbers like that | 06:19 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007: okey thxxxx | 06:19 |
| tripitakit | kindofabuzz, i just looked at the plugin... | 06:19 |
| kindofabuzz | tripitakit, oh it works, you actually have to type the trigger out then hit tab =) | 06:19 |
| tripitakit | kindofabuzz, yep that is | 06:19 |
| chris__ | the only one with a number is windows xp... it says chainloader =1 | 06:19 |
| kindofabuzz | tripitakit, great plugin | 06:19 |
| chris__ | chainloader+1 rather | 06:19 |
| Shaggedelic | you mean your wireless worked on its own on the stock install without any tweaking? | 06:20 |
| tripitakit | kindofabuzz, thanks for the suggestion i'll check it deeper | 06:20 |
| chris__ | ok i'ma try this | 06:21 |
| tripitakit | ok, time to go workin now :) have a good time ppl | 06:21 |
| irpapabear | cya | 06:21 |
| unstable | k, time for sleep now. I think I'll downgrade the kernel tomorrow. Or see if Ubuntu releases yet another Ibex kernel that doesn't break wireless. | 06:22 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: ok and no updates just before the thing went bust | 06:22 |
| unstable | right | 06:22 |
| Shaggedelic | you don't have to downgrade the kernel | 06:22 |
| irpapabear | bbl | 06:22 |
| unstable | It must have been the kernel, now that I think abou tit. | 06:22 |
| Shaggedelic | the old kernel will still be there | 06:22 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: Then what to do? | 06:22 |
| darkbishop | gigel2007: i think i didnt patch the kernal | 06:22 |
| Shaggedelic | just boot into the lowest ubuntu option on grub during startup | 06:22 |
| Shaggedelic | i think it should work | 06:23 |
| unstable | no, Ubuntu does some new thing, where the old kernel doesn't get listed anymore. | 06:23 |
| Shaggedelic | you see the different kernel options on bootup right? | 06:23 |
| unstable | And it's removed after reboot or something | 06:23 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: There is only one kernel, and there are three options. The one kernel with standard arguments, the same kernel with single user mode, and memtest. | 06:24 |
| Shaggedelic | no unstable the old kernel would never be removed unless you specifically told it to | 06:24 |
| Peddy | I get this error when I try to install some software from source: libtool: link: cannot find the library `../libltdl/libltdlc.la' Can anyone please help me? | 06:24 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: Well I'm doing dpkg -al|grep linux-image, and there is only one kernel listed. | 06:24 |
| unstable | linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic | 06:24 |
| * rww is away: away | 06:24 | |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: then you probably have one kernel | 06:24 |
| Shaggedelic | :) | 06:24 |
| unstable | That is the only kernel on my system. | 06:25 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: can you tell me the kernel version? | 06:25 |
| unstable | That is from the ubuntu update, that isn't stock on ibex. | 06:25 |

| seravitae | hi, i've made a mirror raid array under ubuntu and put data onto it (supposedly).. are there any paranoid ways to check it is in fact being mirrored? | 06:25 |
| epoxy_ | seravitae, alternate taking drives out? | 06:25 |
| seravitae | won't that just make the system complain? | 06:26 |
| seravitae | this is software raid under ubuntu | 06:26 |
| Shaggedelic | thats an upgrade arite | 06:26 |
| epoxy_ | seravitae, wouldn't you rather know if it WORKS? | 06:26 |
| epoxy_ | that is the point. | 06:26 |
| DJCiP | i have a fujitsu lifebook T5010 .... trying to get the wacom driver working cuz its a tablet pc... | 06:26 |
| seravitae | epoxy_ - uh, yes | 06:26 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: yea, hardy wasn't like this. But ibex does something strange, i dunno what. Ibex is cleaning up after a kernel upgrade/reboot. | 06:26 |
| unstable | Or it's doing something, I have no idea what. | 06:26 |
| Ademan | whee, it's impossibel to install quanta without ripping out kde4 components in intrepid | 06:26 |
| PeanutScape | Does anyone know why i cant hear multiple sounds on ubuntu? | 06:27 |
| seravitae | epoxy_ - i was thinking more like copy a big file to the raid device and watch the hard drive load on both hdds simultaneously and see if they match? | 06:27 |
| unstable | whatever, like I said, I'll install the old kernel tomorrow, and remove the new one. | 06:27 |
| Shaggedelic | unstable: check grub.conf and try booting to the old kernel | 06:27 |
| Ademan | unstable: there's that thing dell created where kernel modules are automatically built for restricted drivers.... | 06:27 |
| DJCiP | i installed the Libwacom module... do modprobe wacom - and all i get with dmesg | grep wacom is the usb driver working - but no screen appears to be there - help?! | 06:27 |
| metrick | I would like to know if their is an online installer, similar to wubi for ubuntu: I have ubuntu 8.10, is their a way i can install fedora core 9 without burning cds? i cant do that and i dont have floppies | 06:27 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: grub.conf? you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 06:27 |
| Shaggedelic | I am not sure about this but the old kernel is prolly just removed from the boot loader | 06:27 |
| epoxy_ | seravitae, can you see the HDD activity lights? they should blink in tandem. | 06:27 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: If the package isn't listed in dpkg -al, it doesn't exist. | 06:27 |
| seravitae | epoxy_ - i dont have a led per hdd | 06:27 |
| unstable | Shaggedelic: ls /boot, doesn't show any other kernels. there is only one. It's gone. | 06:28 |
| seravitae | i'd need to see it in the system, and i can't find how to see both hdds activity in system monitor/ubuntu | 06:28 |
| Shaggedelic | yeah sorry | 06:28 |
| Shaggedelic | try adding a line | 06:28 |
| unstable | adding a line for what? | 06:28 |
| gigel2007 | darkbishop: ya, good luck man! | 06:28 |
| Shaggedelic | sorry please try adding a line for 2.6.27-3 kernel | 06:29 |
| Shaggedelic | see i u still got it | 06:29 |
| Finalphase | How can I run all my commands in SUDO so I don't have to type it at teh beginning of everything | 06:29 |
| seravitae | finalbeta_ - sudo su | 06:29 |
| Shaggedelic | ohh ok u tried it eh? | 06:29 |
| Shaggedelic | sorry haven't played with ibex much | 06:29 |
| Flannel | Finalphase: `sudo -i` will give you a root prompt. You shoudl close it (exit) once you're done doing administrative stuff. | 06:30 |

| epoxy_ | whymarkwh, somewhat. download the latest version though. 8.10 or something. | 06:32 |
| genii | whymarkwh: 8.04 likely better choice, but you have right idea of the server install cd | 06:33 |
| Bruners | how can i change what sound card/driver Firefox is to use? Ubuntu 8.10 | 06:33 |
| epoxy_ | whymarkwh, dhcp should be easy (google it.. it's straight forward). as far as the mail server, be very very very careful. | 06:33 |
| Flannel | whymarkwh: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html and yes, I agre that 8.04 is a good choice | 06:33 |
| whymarkwh | well what i need to know is this server edition text based or does it have a desktop interface, dare i say it like windows? | 06:33 |
| * epoxy_ gasps | 06:34 | |
| genii | whymarkwh: test | 06:34 |
| epoxy_ | depends on how you like it, i would imagine. | 06:34 |
| genii | whymarkwh: text rather | 06:34 |
| Flannel | whymarkwh: If you wanted a GUI, just install the desktop edition. | 06:34 |
| ronhalfdanr | anyone know VMware and samba? | 06:34 |
| Flannel | whymarkwh: Linux doesn't differentiate between "Server" and "Desktop", they're just programs. Server type programs run equally well on either one. | 06:35 |
| freetown | whymarkwh, i hope you are not looking for something exchange like... | 06:35 |
| epoxy_ | zimbra. | 06:35 |
| genii | whymarkwh: Most servers are to be just for that and not a personal box with a desktop. Then you use another box with nice gui to use the servers web based setups for various things, or ssh into it | 06:35 |

| matthudson | remote desktop on linux is called? | 07:00 |
| trimeta | For some reason, sometimes my kernel logger (the klogd service) uses up 100% of my CPU; it appears to be continuously dd'ing the contents of /dev/kmsg into my logs. Which I suppose is what it's supposed to do, only without using 100% of my CPU to do it. | 07:00 |
| epoxy_ | matthudson, rdesktop | 07:00 |
| nickrud | BrickHaus, it's in linux-source-2.6.27 | 07:00 |
| trimeta | I know it's klogd related because CPU use goes back to normal when I do "sudo /etc/init.d/klogd stop". | 07:00 |
| matthudson | kthx | 07:00 |
| jimclassic | hello nickrud,can i use ipmsg in Ubuntu? | 07:00 |
| trimeta | The secondary problem with this is that it's filling up my logs. | 07:01 |
| epoxy_ | matthudson, er... client or server? actual RDP client = rdesktop. if you want to remote into your linux desktop TightVNC | 07:01 |
| matthudson | thanks | 07:01 |
| nickrud | jimclassic take a look at xipmsg , see if it's what you're looking for. | 07:01 |
| trimeta | In particular, the message, kern.log, and syslog logs. | 07:01 |
| BrickHaus | nickrud: I looked in their and I didn't see the file? You see it? | 07:01 |

| try2free | epoxy_: i think if i can create custom paper in cups, wine can read it too | 07:04 |
| trimeta | Maybe I should file a bug...next time it happens, I'll copy down the exact commands which are using up all of my CPU. | 07:04 |

| EJ | and guys im actually a noob to Ubuntu ... i learned on a Slackware system | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | EJ: most of ubuntu is straightforward linux | 07:30 |
| BrickHaus | EJ: do you keep the same IRC handle? If so I will let you know if it worked or not. If not.. oh well, I'll just buy another nic card. Done deal. I like the challenge though. | 07:30 |
| irpapabear | got his feet wet on mandrake | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | EJ: just gotta learn the stupid command opposites thats annoying | 07:30 |
| militant | evenin folks. tryin to set up a folder to be shared between desktop (server) and laptop (client). is samba still a good idea or something else? | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | irpapabear: me too :) | 07:31 |
| irpapabear | we to slax the to suse then to ubuntu | 07:31 |
| EJ | BrickHaus: yes EJ is my mIRC nick here and efnet | 07:31 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest26135 | ||
| EJ | ActionParsnip: true ture | 07:31 |
| EJ | *true | 07:31 |
| BrickHaus | Ej: Ok.. will do. | 07:31 |
| irpapabear | smb work just fine | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | militant: if you intend to use windows to access the same share, i'd use samba | 07:31 |
| deep_ | what is the proper way of installing apache server in ubuntu | 07:31 |
| militant | both are ubuntu 8.10, was just told nfs would be better in that case? | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | EJ: classic example with apt-get. Opposite of install...remove (not uninstall) | 07:32 |
| EJ | militant : yes samba is usually the best to use, highly flexible | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | deep_: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 07:32 |
| BrickHaus | ActionParsnip: Slack>Gentoo> courting Ubuntu.. she's pretty.. but is she'll all that and a box of chips.. will see.. | 07:32 |
| kalosaurusrex2 | deep_: google ubuntu perfect setup | 07:32 |
| deep_ | i did that and i had properly installed as well but the problem is the file permission with var folder | 07:32 |
| irpapabear | didn't care for gentoo | 07:32 |
| irpapabear | loved slax tho | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BrickHaus: redhat, mandriva, ubuntu, gentoo (all running except redhat) | 07:33 |
| EJ | BrickHaus: yeah i did a full out install of gentoo .... once | 07:33 |
| kambiz_ | hello, how can i make the vnc server start on startup | 07:33 |
| Flannel | kalosaurusrex2, deep_: Please don't. Howtoforge is a horrible site for Ubuntu information. Instead see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 07:33 |
| kambiz_ | the default vnc server that is | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !startup | kambiz_ | 07:33 |
| ubottu | kambiz_: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 07:33 |
| irpapabear | use feladoa foe a try...forgive me.... | 07:33 |
| EJ | kambiz_: crontab might work | 07:34 |
| badstue | i really need an easy backup solution.. i just need to make a complete system image of ubuntu.. burn it out on a cd... make it bootable and easy to restore... can that be done with such simplicity that our moms could do it ? | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | badstue | 07:34 |
| ubottu | badstue: 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 | 07:34 |
| deep_ | please tell me the way to remove apache php and mysql completely so that i can make the way for the fresh installation of these | 07:34 |
| cfffq | badstue, maybe acronis¿ | 07:35 |
| BrickHaus | irpapabear: no one cares for anything if its constantly breaking.. Gentoo .. I could do anything. Make a router/firewall.. Pear everyting down to just those needed essentials. Better than anything cisco has everymade.. heh | 07:35 |
| jetblack101 | I'm running a server with NFS and DNS and when I'm transfering a file to it or from it the DNS becomes unreachable. Any ideas for a solution to this? | 07:35 |
| irpapabear | sudo apt-get sbackup | 07:35 |
| cfffq | i think it worked well | 07:35 |
| goldmetal | iwlist wlan0 scan ; will show me my receive signal level. how to find out my transmit signal level? | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | badstue: you could do what i do, have a cron job nightly to cp files to a usb drive, restore involves copying the file back from backup | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | badstue: nice to see a backuper, youd be suprised the amount of people who dont have it then moan when their hard drives fail. I find it utterly hysterical | 07:36 |
| hechu | Flannel, yeah, I did use the tool to make usb startup disk, but it failed. When I try to make it manually, I guess the tools may be forget to mark the usb-disk to "actived" for boot-able. | 07:36 |
| irpapabear | so true | 07:36 |
| genii | goldmetal: iwconfig | 07:36 |
| luddite | god knows why any one would use mad wifi over ndiswrapper. i have used madwifi for 2 years and it was nothing but trouble now couldnt get it wooorking on intredip so have been trouble free with ndiswrapper since intrepid from day one. its great and connection speed and % is faster | 07:36 |
| upgrade_ubuntu | hello everyone, I've a problem. After I upgrade my ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10, my cheese application can't record video but it can take a photo, what should I do? before I upgrade, it can record. | 07:36 |
| kambiz_ | EJ: crontab to start up the vncserver on startup? | 07:36 |
| goldmetal | genii, thx | 07:37 |
| BrickHaus | EJ: Gentoo has some of the best doc's on the planet and their community is by far none, the nerdiest most knowledgeable people I've ever got to deal with. | 07:37 |
| csaba | how can I set iptables so that when I want to contact ip address 192.168.0.1 from my computer, it will redirect my request to 192.168.0.2 ? | 07:37 |
| BrickHaus | EJ: off to trying your suggestion out. cya | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | upgrade_ubuntu: you could try renaming the file it keeps its config, uninstalling it then reinstallin it. A new config will be created when you run it after that and it will be just like a clean install | 07:38 |
| EJ | BrickHaus: yeah i know, but it took like 8 hours for me to do the installation from the ground up | 07:38 |
| irpapabear | cya ej | 07:38 |
| cfffq | BrickHaus, you should know lionux people from polonia..... | 07:38 |
| jetblack101 | luddite: ndiswrapper relies on windows binaries and doesn't gvie you anywhere near the amount of options that madwifi does | 07:38 |
| cfffq | almost a diferent race | 07:38 |
| EJ | kambiz_: i use crontab for my eggdrop to load on startup, i dont see why it wouldent start up vnc . | 07:38 |
| tan | I have a ubuntu 7.10 install where I had compiled in OSS v4 which I've just removed. Now my soundcard doesn't get detected by alsa/gstreamer anymore - anyone who can help me? :-) | 07:38 |
| jetblack101 | thats why i use it atleast | 07:38 |
| upgrade_ubuntu | ActionParsnip: I've done it but it still has the same error. after I uninstall it, my computer should be restarted? | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: makes my atheros wifi card work immediately :). out of the box wireless for me :) | 07:39 |
| EJ | irpapabear: take care | 07:39 |
| luddite | jetblack101 : that maybe so but it is more stable and provides a stronger connection. actually - it finds more networks too. | 07:39 |
| naught102 | anyone know how I can stop b43 from sending PHY transmission errors to stdout? | 07:39 |
| tan | it's a snd_hda_intel | 07:39 |
| ElectricJake | does anybody have a url to a guide somewhere that explains the missing network manager? | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | upgrade_ubuntu: no need, if you run it from terminal do you see any output to tell you whats going on? | 07:39 |
| deep_ | how to make wifi work on acer aspire 5520 g ,,, | 07:40 |
| ActionParsnip | upgrade_ubuntu: before you reinstall, you could use sudo apt-get clean so you know the system is downloading a fresh copy from repo and not using the cachd version | 07:40 |
| ActionParsnip | deep_: lspci will tell you what it is (bets broadcom) | 07:40 |
| luddite | action_parsnip: lucky bugger ;-) mine is a weird atheros. in a acer aspire - i didnt expect it to work OOTB but mad with the correct patches was maddening | 07:41 |
| upgrade_ubuntu | ActionParsnip: thanks for the answer, I'll try it again and I'll give ur answer. | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: acer usually use broadcom chips from what ive seen | 07:41 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip, upgrade_ubuntu: Make sure you purge the package (in apt-get, or "completely remove" in synaptic), just removing it won't touch the config files. Also, make sure you've got the right package (dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you which package contains the file) | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: and a proprietary power management requiring aceracpi.ko module | 07:42 |
| deep_ | it used to work fine before i switched to ubuntu 8.10 | 07:42 |
| AnnoyingMouse | hi guys. I'm looking for recommendation(s) for a debian/ubuntu-based distro that would suit some security-related needs: tor & anonymity, torrentflux, apache, webmin, nfs & ntfs, samba, etc, etc | 07:42 |
| AnnoyingMouse | anonymous torrent NAS server | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | AnnoyingMouse: nubuntu | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | AnnoyingMouse: webmin isnt supported with ubuntu | 07:43 |
| deep_ | all i need to do was to install madwifi but now it doesnt | 07:43 |
| AnnoyingMouse | yea, but I want to do without some of the bloat | 07:43 |
| EJ | AnnoyingMouse: its not debian/ubuntu ... but check out SME Server (CentOs Dist) | 07:43 |
| AnnoyingMouse | similar to nubuntu | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | AnnoyingMouse: i run kubuntu + kwin for that same purpose (with x server killed when im not using it) | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | AnnoyingMouse: DSL for lightness on the system | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | AnnoyingMouse: or gentoo maybe | 07:44 |
| toastedmilk | I'm trying to install a Pandora screenlet on 8.04, but when I run the .py, it says 'E: Couldn't find package gtkmozembed'. Where can I find it? | 07:44 |
| computer_ | how do i edit the icon from my menu? | 07:44 |
| AnnoyingMouse | gentoo or dsl. makes sense. thanks | 07:44 |
| militant | heh, fiddled with samba for an hou ror two, but nfs took like 45 secs to setup. cool | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | toastedmilk: apt-cache search zembed | 07:45 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | guys wer can i find a nice source 4 ubuntu 6.01 updates | 07:45 |
| luddite | actionparsnip: the new ones use atheros | 07:45 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | im having trouble lately | 07:45 |
| Flannel | [MOD]xubuntu: You mean 6.10? or 6.06? | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | militant: samba takes 5 seconds, the conf file is very simple | 07:45 |
| MonsieurBon | good morning | 07:46 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | i mean 6.06 | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: good, least they are finally doing something right | 07:46 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | dats the 1 | 07:46 |
| MonsieurBon | anyone managed to get ubuntu bootable from an ipod? | 07:46 |
| Flannel | [MOD]xubuntu: You shouldn't be having any issues with updates. What errors are you getting? | 07:46 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | failed to fetch updates | 07:46 |
| Flannel | MonsieurBon: No | 07:46 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | i already uncommented the sourcelist | 07:47 |
| EJ | AnnoyingMouse: SME Server is a ready to go Linux install, Configured like a router thru a preinstalled web interface, samba is ready to go as well as Apache, it also has a ready to go mail server, dns server, proxy server, as well as a few others. | 07:47 |
| MonsieurBon | Flannel, seams to be impossible... | 07:47 |
| luddite | actionparsnip : maybe - took me about two hours to get stupid hibernate to work on 8.10. :-( - aceracpi.ko ?? what is this dark art? | 07:47 |
| Flannel | [MOD]xubuntu: alright, please pastebin the following: /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of sudo apt-get update | 07:47 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | what seems to be the problem?? | 07:47 |
| EJ | AnnoyingMouse: installs in about 30 minutes | 07:47 |
| Flannel | MonsieurBon: Yes. | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | MonsieurBon: do yuo mean booting a system from an ipod, or having ubuntu bootup on an ipod on the screen locally? | 07:47 |
| militant | ActionParsnip: no need for samba nfs is workin great now. but no, samba was having issues, couldn't get the two machines to see each other and i couldn't see any reason why :P | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: i dont bother with that. its not worth it imho | 07:47 |
| MonsieurBon | ActionParsnip, i'm talking about having a live system on my ipod. | 07:47 |
| deep_ | is it possible to make complete backup of ubuntu 8.10 so that when it breaks down we can reinstall it from the back up cd | 07:48 |
| [MOD]xubuntu | tnx guys for the tips | 07:48 |
| Flannel | MonsieurBon: Ah, that could be doable... if you have a PC that can boot to USB | 07:48 |
| luddite | actionparsnip - aceracpi.ko ? dont bother? | 07:48 |
| ActionParsnip | MonsieurBon: oic, i guess you could. why you d want to is anyones guess. USB sticks are stupidly cheap now and at less risk to the more expensive ipod | 07:48 |
| upgrade_ubuntu | ActionParsnip, Flannel: I've do it with the "apt-get purge cheese", "apt-get clean" and "apt-get install cheese" but the error is same. After I press "start recording" button, my webcam will off and in cheese application will blank and I've press "stop recording" button, the application doesn't give the respond | 07:48 |
| MonsieurBon | ActionParsnip, I have an ipod but no usbstick though! ^^ | 07:49 |
| Flannel | MonsieurBon: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for some tips/instructions/etc (theres a section on USB stuff) | 07:49 |
| MonsieurBon | Flannel, seams the ipod doesn't like the "boot" flag on it's partition | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: acer have a proprietary power management, I had an aspie 5700 (I think) about 3 years ago and it needed it. Its also in the EEE PC and is causing a stink as Acer are refusing to surrender source to the module, breaking GPL | 07:50 |
| Flannel | upgrade_ubuntu: Sounds like a bug and not a config file isssue. Have you checked launchpad? | 07:50 |
| toastedmilk | ActionParsnip, A bunch of stuff came up referring to gtkmozembed, but I still can't run the screenlet. to run a python command it's 'python <Name.py>'(no <>, obviously) | 07:50 |
| Flannel | MonsieurBon: the boot flag doesn't matter for modern OSes, only DOS cares (not even Windows) | 07:50 |
| MonsieurBon | Flannel, oh really? so I only need to copy all the stuff the the ipod?? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | toastedmilk: that only searches the available programs, you can install from that list by apt-get install'ing the package name | 07:51 |
| WIGGMPk | I need help, my computer locked up recently, had to "dirty" boot it, upon restarting, the x-server would not start, I got the message "display server start so many times in so many seconds, trying again in 2mins" researched it online, tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and that doesnt help, tried use "vesa" drivers and it also doesnt help. Please advise.... | 07:51 |
| upgrade_ubuntu | Flannel: not yet | 07:51 |
| Flannel | MonsieurBon: However, that page also has one regarding creating a boot disk, which will boot to the CD | 07:51 |
| deep_ | after the complete installation of apache,php5 and mysql when i get into var directory i cannot add anything with gksudo nautilus i managed to add all my stuffs | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | toastedmilk: i dont use screenlets (or gnome for that matter) so i'm kinda useless here | 07:51 |
| deep_ | but the problem is the pages donot load image files | 07:51 |
| luddite | actionparsnip: i might try to get this APM installed as i think the battery life could be impacted by not having it. today with i was completing a chapter of my book the stupid thing crapped out | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | deep_: thats because that folder is ownded by root | 07:51 |
| KimK | I seem to be having trouble receiving files on Xchat, could someone try sending me a small test file? | 07:51 |
| deep_ | yes i understand and i also tried to change the permission but am unable to make it work | 07:52 |

| justizin | well, you can delete the file, but if you are referring to it from any configuration such as apache, you may cause services to fail to start. | 08:17 |

| deep_ | how to enable atheros ath5k wireless driver on ubuntu 8.10 | 08:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Slart: Not yet. | 08:38 |
| deep_ | i came to know that ath5k is disabled by default | 08:38 |
| upgrade_ubuntu | sinan: quit | 08:38 |
| liufangjin | Hello | 08:39 |
| tonyyarusso | Slart: also, can you use dd to only get the USED portion of a partition? We have a 250 GB partition, but only about 500 MB used. btw, it was on LVM too. | 08:39 |
| shantanu_ | hi deep check my site shantanubhaoria.com I layed out the instructions there | 08:39 |
| shantanu_ | for ath5k that is | 08:39 |
| deep_ | shantanu..the link u provided doesnt open | 08:40 |
| shantanu_ | hold on | 08:40 |
| shantanu_ | sorry lemme give u the direct link | 08:40 |

| nibsa1242 | could someone point me to a guide to walk me though hibernate/ troubleshooting issues | 08:41 |
| shantanu_ | u r welcome | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: does it work with a proper vnc client app? | 08:41 |
| Finalphase | Umm one sec let me check | 08:41 |
| shantanu_ | um what exactly is the problem nibsal242 ? | 08:41 |
| Kartagis | i have a problem with sound coming from speakers even though earphones are plugged in. what to do about that? | 08:42 |
| Finalphase | ActionParsnip: Yes it does my friend | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: then java or your browser are to blame | 08:42 |
| csaba | How can I redirect a request from my computer from ip address xxx to ip address yyy? | 08:42 |
| nibsa1242 | shantanu_: if I hibernate or suspend I et a black screen for a while... and the its just the black screen like a screen saver with the box to type in my password. It doesn't actually suspend or hibernate. | 08:42 |
| Slart | Kartagis: on my laptop the speakers and headphone jack are treated as two separate outputs.. the switching is done in software afaik | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: what OS / browser / java are you running on the client system? | 08:43 |
| csaba | for example, if I telnet 192.168.0.1, it would display 192.168.0.2 to me | 08:43 |
| Finalphase | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 8.10 / Firefox / Java5 | 08:43 |
| ziroday | csaba: I believe you can set that in the the /etc/hosts file for your system | 08:43 |
| genii | java5 ? | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: 64bit or 32bit? | 08:43 |
| Finalphase | 64bit | 08:43 |
| Finalphase | I think it is anyways, how would I check | 08:44 |
| shantanu_ | nibsal242: when you suspend u ought to get that not so for hibernate though | 08:44 |
| csaba | ziroday: ok i've tried that, but I need something more sophisticated... when I go to www.myhost.com:8000/aaa/bbb, I need it to redirect me to www.otherhost.com/aaa/bbb... how to do that? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: id look at putting 32bit on it so that you can run Sun's Java. It can help. | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: 64bit java isnt really implemented properly yet | 08:44 |
| ziroday | csaba: this is a website? | 08:44 |
| Finalphase | ActionParsnip: I am running Sun's java tho, sudo apt-get sun-java6-jdk | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: thats the java dev kit | 08:45 |
| csaba | it's a web service | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: not a browser plugin | 08:45 |
| Finalphase | ActionParnsip: ahhhhhhh | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: you could try iced-tea | 08:46 |
| nibsa1242 | shantanu_: its not actually suspending or hibernating... after my upgrade to ibex it said out of memory once when I tried to hibernate; ( makes no sense 1GB ram, 4GB of swap ) now I get no error message | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin | 08:46 |
| Kartagis | Slart, it used to be that way on my laptop too, but somehow it now isn't | 08:46 |
| Winkie | quick question, ubuntu's share configuration, where does it actually modify samba? I'm trying to ensure a share is globally writable, but /etc/samba/smb.conf isn't modified | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Finalphase: failing that id try a VM with 32bit linux and suns java plugin to test | 08:47 |
| shantanu_ | nibsal242: ahh that makes sens | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: i always manually modify smb.conf...far easier | 08:47 |
| ziroday | csaba: okay, what well for that you can create a web page that redirects to the other page | 08:47 |
| WIGGMPk | I need some help from someone... My display server constantly restarts (shuts down), I tried switching to "vesa", "nv", or using "nvidia" as the drivers, I tried using "Option "noaccel"", I also tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" with NO SUCCESS, however, when I shutdown the xserver by switching to TTY1, then running "startx" it loads fine... SO WHAT THE H IS GOING ON!!!! | 08:47 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: well fair enough, i can do that, but it sorta defeats the point of it being in ubuntu :p | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | WIGGMPk: tried repairing the xorg from the recovery option in grub? | 08:47 |
| csaba | ziroday: I can't do that, because I don't have access to the remote website | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: i can give you mine to look at, you'll see how easy it is | 08:48 |
| ziroday | csaba: well sorry I am at a loss as to how exactly you can access the website | 08:48 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: oh i know how easy it is, it's my job (sorta) | 08:48 |
| shantanu_ | nibsal242: during hibernation the last state is written to your main space not RAM or swap | 08:48 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: my point was that I don't know how ubuntu does it, and that's what i want to know :) | 08:48 |
| Finalphase | ActionParsnip: What do I do with a ****.jnlp file? | 08:48 |
| csaba | let's say when I type in www.google.com into my browser, I want it to redirect me to www.mysite.com:8000 | 08:48 |
| WIGGMPk | ActionParsnip: I suppose you mean running recovery mode and then choosing the option repair x..? yes I have tried that.. and also manually tooling around with xorg.conf and dpkg-reconfigure | 08:48 |
| shantanu_ | nibsal242: so if it says ran out of space you prolly ran out of space on your hard disk | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: i have no idea. I run ubuntu as well as many other distros and always edit the file manually | 08:49 |
| Winkie | csaba: that's probably not going to be easy, the best way to deal with that would be to set up an intermediary proxy, but that's a big deal compared | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: http://pastebin.com/f4ade73dc read the bottom 20 lines ;) | 08:49 |
| Winkie | csaba: what are you trying to do exactly? | 08:49 |
| WIGGMPk | ActionParsnip: I have also booted the LiveCD, and compared the "generic" xorg.conf against my own (which is exactly the same) after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: no need for a silly gui app | 08:49 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: sure, i'm a debian sysadmin, but i would like to be able to debug this for ubuntu too | 08:49 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: i don't disagree with you, but i have enough users using ubuntu that it matters :) | 08:49 |
| ziroday | csaba: and only on your machine? | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | WIGGMPk: boot system normally, press esc when it is offered, select recovery mode for your current kernel then choose fix xorg (or however its worded) | 08:50 |
| nibsa1242 | shantanu_: no, I didn't run out of space, I have lots of space available, and lots of swap space available | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | WIGGMPk: or try booting to an older kernel to see if that helps | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: thats all i got man, sorry | 08:51 |
| WIGGMPk | ActionParsnip: yes, using gfx grub so minus the "ESC" part.. | 08:51 |
| csaba | Winkie: ok I have a Java applet, which fetches an IP address from the database, then calls this IP address. The problem is this address is set so that the production server would work, so locally on my developer machine I need to manually start the same command on my local server... what I need to do is: the applet reads the IP address from the database, calls it, but my machine redirects it to another address, which would be my local machine | 08:51 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: no problem, thanks for the help | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: you could teach them the way :) | 08:51 |
| WIGGMPk | ActionParsnip: I only have 1 previous kernel and Ive tried repairing from the previous kernel and the current kernel.. ive tried just booting to the older kernel, nothing I have tried works.. | 08:51 |
| tparcina | I'm trying to install virtualbox (full version, not OSE) with command "sudo apt-get install virtualbox" and apt-get allways isntalls OSE version. How can I specify that I would like to install full version? | 08:52 |
| csaba | maybe something like this would work? iiptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 125.17.156.66 -i eth1 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.250 | 08:52 |
| ziroday | csaba: and what is wrong with setting it in the /etc/hosts file? | 08:52 |
| Winkie | csaba: yes, that is in fact a potentially good option | 08:52 |
| Winkie | csaba: you would probably want to add -p tcp --dport 80 | 08:52 |
| ronhalfdanr | anyone know samba? | 08:52 |
| csaba | ok thanks i'll try something | 08:52 |
| WIGGMPk | ActionParsnip: I have a separate /home partition so reinstalling is not a BIG deal but I dont know how to NOT reinstall over that partition (never did it before) | 08:52 |
| nibsa1242 | shantanu_: I'll be right back; I'm going to try hibernating and then look at the logs | 08:52 |

| ziroday | tparcina: which repo are you installing virtualbox from? | 08:53 |

| Winkie | kyle__again_and_: i see, is that a feature your laptop actually supports? have you got a speaker jack or similar? | 09:21 |
| kyle__again_and_ | Winkie, the labels on the 3 jacks are headphones, output, and input | 09:21 |
| Winkie | kyle__again_and_: i see, and have you had this working before? I only ask because some headphone jacks will detect when something is plugged in and automatically redirect output | 09:22 |
| kyle__again_and_ | Winkie, also, when i had vista installed it said i had another port somewhere but i never had a reason to find it | 09:22 |
| kyle__again_and_ | Winkie, it would auto detect in vista, but not in ubuntu | 09:22 |

| heret1c | Winkie: 10.x.x.x, yes. | 09:30 |
| Winkie | heret1c: right, your problem is that that IP address isn't available to the internet, the router you are going through is changing it for the real external IP address | 09:31 |
| Winkie | because of this, packets to the appropriate port are going to the router | 09:31 |

| OrangeMechanique | Ximal, actually what I want to do is to add some packages (possibly remove some also) and then to be able to already start a script that will configure some of the installed services | 09:51 |
| Ximal | OrangeMechanique : I find it a better solution to play it safe , because when you build your own distro disc then you run the risk of errors upon install if you don't mold it into a multi-system installation disc... | 09:53 |
| Ximal | it might be stuck as just an install for that chipset and board etc.... | 09:53 |
| OrangeMechanique | in my case, Id mainly add services ( I guess in the end I would not remove almost anything) | 09:53 |
| OrangeMechanique | the purpose is actually that it already install some things like nagios, ntop and etc and that it already configures it | 09:54 |
| OrangeMechanique | because the person that is going to install wont have any knowledge at all of almost anything =) | 09:54 |

How can I remove it from the "to-do" list, so it doesn't attempt to install every time ? | 09:54 |
| Ximal | why not create a script and hide it in a folder on the root part of the disc you are giving this person... thell them which file to click on and that way it automatically does it all for them.. | 09:55 |
| kyle__again_and_ | interesting, i was messing with the sound options in VLC and i managed to get the sound to stop when i plug it into the speaker port but not get the sound to output to that port..... i think i'm getting somewhere | 09:55 |
| Ximal | thus they get a little lesson and exposure into linux ;) | 09:55 |

| ziroday | crashatau: however it should have around 3.2 - 3.3 GB available, not 2.5 but that looks more like a BIOS limitation to me. Your options are reinstaling the 64bit version of ubuntu, using the server kernel (not reccommended) or using a patched kernel from somewhere else (not recommended) | 11:13 |

| linxeh | chuxxsss: in about:config in firefox you need to change "ubuntu" to "firefox" or something | 11:16 |

| ziroday | !ccsm | AbortD you need to install this | 11:48 |
| ubottu | AbortD you need to install this: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

| ubottu | AbortD: 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. | 11:49 |

| AbortD | ok then is there a difference | 11:50 |
| AbortD | thanks | 11:50 |
| AbortD | just sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:50 |

| AbortD | ziroday: how do i enter the the config for compiz now? | 11:53 |
| mattycoze | indeed | 11:53 |
| ziroday | AbortD: You should see it in System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects or something like that | 11:53 |
| mattycoze | ActionParsnip there must be a forum or a chat for people who use these sorts of things right? | 11:54 |
| AbortD | heh nm :P | 11:54 |

| ActionParsnip | !fakeroot | 11:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fakeroot | 11:58 |
| Hobbsee | sinan: it's a package that will let you compile things, without being root. | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !info fakeroot | 11:58 |
| ubottu | fakeroot (source: fakeroot): Gives a fake root environment. In component main, is optional. Version 1.9.5ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 111 kB, installed size 440 kB | 11:58 |
| ziroday | NicEXE: sudo dpkg -i *.deb (after you have cd into the correct directory) | 11:58 |

| Pretto | Hobbsee, suppose i have cleanned the cache | 12:09 |

| ActionParsnip | chuxxsss: download it to ~/. extract and run the executable in the folder | 12:10 |
| Pretto | i know apt-get has a --download-only direcitve | 12:10 |
| CuriousMe | What do words starting with ! mean? | 12:10 |

| adam7 | Pretto: you shouldn't need *all* the packages just to update the machine... | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Pretto: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 12:11 |

| IcyPolecat | ActionParsnip: or anyone for that matter, the only thing I'm not sure of is the driver to pass. Am using the radeon open source (I think) and am pretty sure this will need to be passed in to enable both heads. Just have no idea what the driver is called | 12:12 |

| adam7 | IcyPolecat: i think it's called radeon | 12:12 |
| IcyPolecat | adam7: ok ... will try that | 12:12 |
| CuriousMe | Re: RiRa. Why not just use gnome :-) ubuntu-desktop | 12:13 |
| Pretto | adam7, I know that, but how can i do that if the machine has no external connection | 12:13 |
| adam7 | IcyPolecat: there is also radeonhd but it's probably not for your card | 12:13 |
| adam7 | Pretto: ah, the problem :) | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | RiRa_DigiFly_: you have a stock install, it'll need fine tuning now | 12:13 |
| IcyPolecat | adam7: yeah saw that but don't have it installed (at least according to aptitude) | 12:13 |

| CuriousMe | BoltClock: mind posting output of ps -ef|grep firefox? | 12:19 |
| bbr-work | it has to work :p | 12:19 |
| shirish | Hobbsee: thank you. do you any other place, for that log doesn't give me the output I'm looking for. Perhaps syslog could be made/configured to have a little more verbose output while the system is shutting down? | 12:20 |
| kenzi_ | PISCES GIRL | 12:20 |

| jrib | Frogging101: what architecture? | 12:20 |
| RiRa_DigiFly_ | ps -ef is not what i mean. if you look in gnome or kde3.5 you have a addto panel "windows list" that 100% important one is missing | 12:20 |
| BoltClock | ActionParsnip: as a normal user | 12:20 |
| bbr-work | adam7: i see.. but i think killall with firefox works ? used it myself couple of times | 12:20 |
| Hobbsee | shirish: well, the logs get exponentially bigger if that happens, and most of the time, people won't care, so... | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | BoltClock: good | 12:20 |
| adam7 | bbr-work: so have I :) occasionally I have to -9 it though | 12:21 |

| bazhang | justnick, you need to reboot with the usb stick in and have it selected bios; sounds like you tried to install them on the livecd | 12:49 |
| Dr_willis | SOURdiesel, depends on your needs I guess.. devede does almost exactly what i need. | 12:49 |
| AbortD | osubuck: no youtube flash player works fine its when my mouse is interacting in a flash environment | 12:49 |

| SOURdiesel | dr_willis: it's slow and uses 100% of my cpu | 12:49 |
| justnick | bazhang: sir i installed it and remove cd and boot from usb | 12:50 |
| bazhang | metaltux, what repos are you looking for? the standard ones or other | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis | SOURdiesel, devede is just a front end to the various backend tools.. the issue may not be with it. but how its calling the other tools.. Im guessing. | 12:50 |
| osubuck | AbortD, ahh i see, i was having some issues before also... full screen videos were laggy, and the on screen controls were very slow to load and would bring the system to a halt.. but for some reason its sorted out for me now | 12:50 |
| SOURdiesel | dr_willis: i figured. | 12:50 |
| bazhang | justnick, you installed them and then rebooted the usb stick in? | 12:50 |
| metaltux | bazhang: I just need to install htop, mc and iptraf | 12:51 |
| AbortD | osubuck: are you using adobe or? | 12:51 |
| metaltux | so whatever downloads i | 12:51 |
| Xs142 | Hi there, I'm looking for an option to install Ubuntu but I don't have a cd-drive to boot cds from nor do I want to do the Wubi install | 12:51 |

| osubuck | yea, flash 10 | 12:51 |
| metaltux | and is close to norway | 12:51 |

| Dr_willis | Xs142, i use the unetbootin tool to make bootable thumbdrives i install from all the time. :) | 12:52 |

| justnick | bazhang: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/11/01/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/ sorry this | 12:52 |
| AbortD | i havent messed with the repos yet | 12:52 |
| bazhang | justnick, I saw | 12:52 |
| justnick | bazhang: built in installer method | 12:53 |
| SOURdiesel | dr_willis: how do i know what backend tools are running or being used? | 12:53 |
| scientes_ | how do i downgrade a package? | 12:53 |
| metaltux | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70900/ | 12:53 |
| AbortD | osubuck: how did you add that repo | 12:53 |
| legend2440 | SOURdiesel: you could try tovid but it also is just a frontend. its in synaptic install tovid and tovid-gui | 12:53 |
| LjL | scientes_: sudo apt-get install packagename=versionumber | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | SOURdiesel, run it from a terminal and watch the output. I would guess ffmpeg/mencoder for the main converting work. | 12:53 |
| pawan | hi | 12:53 |
| LjL | scientes_: that's not guaranteed to work, though (downgrading is not tested or supported) | 12:54 |
| osubuck | AbortD, it was already in there, i just searched for it through synaptic and checked it heh | 12:54 |
| PUNISHER | I have a connection problems | 12:54 |
| scientes_ | its just gcc for compiling vmware | 12:54 |
| scientes_ | and ill put it back | 12:54 |
| SOURdiesel | dr_willis: thanks for the advice. | 12:54 |
| osubuck | wasn't a repo, was a package IN the default repository | 12:54 |
| pawan | does geforce fx 5200 works on 8.10 | 12:54 |
| osubuck | yes pawan | 12:54 |
| pawan | is ti supported | 12:54 |
| osubuck | i use that now | 12:54 |
| fosco_ | pawalls: not supported | 12:54 |
| osubuck | restricted nvidia drivers working fine | 12:54 |
| LjL | scientes_, gcc comes in several *separate* versions, i.e. most likely you don't need to downgrade at all | 12:54 |
| AbortD | osubuck: was it restricted multiverse? | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | SOURdiesel, about the only issie ive had with DeVeDe is that i want ti to take the 'title' name from the filename.. save me some time.. You may want to check the DeVeDe Forums perhaps | 12:55 |
| scientes_ | but not the subset | 12:55 |
| LjL | scientes_: does vmware require a specific gcc version, and if so which? | 12:55 |
| osubuck | it uses 173.xxx drivers | 12:55 |
| metaltux | yes bazhang. where can I connect there? | 12:55 |
| bazhang | metaltux, remove the # from in front of lines 22,23,32,33 then save and update | 12:55 |
| scientes_ | i nee to go from 4.2.4 to 4.2.3 | 12:55 |
| fosco_ | pawalls: but envyng may work | 12:55 |
| AbortD | osubuck: i use the same drivers | 12:55 |
| metaltux | ok | 12:55 |
| osubuck | fosco_, thats incorrect, that video card works | 12:55 |
| === fdd-0 is now known as fdd | ||
| osubuck | with nvidia drivers | 12:55 |
| scientes_ | vmware need the same gcc as the kernel | 12:55 |

| osubuck | AbortD, if i remember correctly i never added any additional repositories in 8.10, just whatever it came with | 12:58 |

| WIGGMPk | "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" takes the xorg.conf file back to the default install file??? is there any difference from using the default installed xorg.conf file and the new conf file that is produced from "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"???? | 12:59 |
| jim_p | !root | 13:00 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:00 |
| Jonnzn | LjL, it is a bt-headset | 13:00 |
| bazhang | metaltux, one reads the changes in the repo list and the other looks for new packages and installs them if they are there | 13:00 |

| sepperl | bazhang i dont know, i hoped that a bios update will help me | 13:04 |
| Jonnzn | Ljl: Thanks again | 13:04 |
| LjL | lianimator: but pay attention, because if you remove Ubuntu, you also remove GRUB, which is needed for booting. so, if you have Windows and want to keep booting it, you will need to re-install the Windows bootloader (that can be done with a Windows CD, you can ask in ##windows for details) | 13:04 |
| lianimator | gparted can resize and make the disk bigger? | 13:04 |

| jrib | slinx: generally you don't have to do anything as linux will come with the drivers you need. If you want to use some proprietary drivers (like nvidia), then you can use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 13:26 |
| lianimator | jobe: did it work in previous versions where you still can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 13:26 |
| jobe | lianimator: it worked on other distros via that method fine. I havent really tried it on*buntu before 8.10. the odd xorg.conf in 8.10 is a real problem for me tho | 13:27 |
| jobe | lianimator: do you know how to add the required entries for wacom in xorg.conf in 8.10? | 13:28 |

| hsarkar | What is the best gui based cpp editor in linux, is there anything like visual studio? | 13:46 |
| kephu | I assume it's a permissions thing, but I've tried chowning and chmoding it every which way, still no dice | 13:46 |
| zetheroo1 | how do I add the Ubuntu backports to Intrepid? I tried doing this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Enabling%20the%20entire%20repository but its not working | 13:46 |
| jrib | mick02: grep -R WORD DIRECTORY | 13:46 |
| Dr_willis | hsarkar, that would be a 'ide' not just a 'editor' - for an editor. I like geany. as for IDE's i dont use them | 13:46 |
| kephu | hsarkar: netbeans ftw | 13:46 |
| NET||abuse | jrib: Dr_willis: so thiss stream.dump file, what can i do with it to make it into a mp3? | 13:46 |
| mick02 | Cheers jrib | 13:46 |
| jrib | NET||abuse: try using ffmpeg I guess | 13:46 |
| Dr_willis | NET||abuse, no idea. | 13:46 |

| jrib | NET||abuse: ffmpeg -i stream.dump boring.mp3 seems to work | 13:47 |
| kephu | no, seriously, anyone? | 13:48 |
| lordofthepigs | The control to change your timezone seems to have disapeared in intrepid. It was very easy to do in Gutsy, and now it's just gone. | 13:48 |
| lordofthepigs | How stupid is that? | 13:48 |
| jrib | guerby: xwininfo or xprop maybe | 13:48 |
| jobe | lordofthepigs: very | 13:48 |
| lianimator | jobe: sorry, I got sidetracked.. I forgot the exact model.. the keys didn't work | 13:48 |
| hsarkar | Dr_willis, kephu thanks, I will try them | 13:48 |
| jrib | gluonman: xwininfo or xprop maybe | 13:48 |
| slinx | do i install my graphics card driver from the cd that came with my graphics card?? | 13:48 |

| gluonman | jrib, I'll give those a try. Thank you. | 13:49 |

| RiRa_DigiFly_ | for the one that says use gnome. i did already on other system. kde4 is out. thats bad desktop for linux. kde4 = windows. cant make anything else from it. only seems kmail dont have backup function | 13:49 |
| jobe | lianimator: hmm, ive never seen expresskeys working in linux, but it should be easy :( there is an express keys program, or you can configure them using xsetwacom, or another xinput mapping app i believe | 13:49 |
| lordofthepigs | jobe: any idea how I can change my timezone? | 13:49 |
| Dr_willis | slinx, normally one uses the hardware-manager tool 'jocky' to install any restricted drivers one needs. | 13:49 |
| lianimator | jobe: I use alt+drag to move a window, the cursor also draws in gimp.. | 13:49 |
| jobe | lianimator: without clicking the cursor also registered as drawing input? | 13:50 |
| adac | how can I start the remote control dialog from command line? | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | slinx, should be an icon in the panel at the top right to launch it.. or check the menus for System->admin->hardware Drivers, or restricted Drivers, or use the command line. jockey-gtk | 13:51 |
| lianimator | jobe: it's like this. for a mouse, I alt+drag.. moves the window. with the tablet. it also "draws" movement. | 13:51 |
| richard__ | Hello, i have installed gdesklets, and i add a couple of weather desklets to my desktop but they wont retrieve data, how do they work? what am i missing? | 13:51 |

| Dr_willis | jerrod, ... err.. click on the download link? | 13:52 |
| phillip | hi I put windows media player on ubuntu, what would be the best way for it to reference codecs? something like k-lite codec pack, or is there a codec pack for ubuntu similar that windows media player would use? | 13:52 |
| lordofthepigs | jobe: it's not available from there.... | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | philippe, get the w32codecs pack from medibuntu | 13:52 |
| gluonman | jrib, thanks. It was what I was looking for. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | phillip do you mean using wine ? | 13:52 |

| trait | can anybody look at lshw -C network ( http://pastebin.com/m4274e634 ) and look why knetworkmanager doesn't work? - manager finds ra0 but not the wpa-network | 13:53 |
| jrib | doglino: then you don't have apache | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | WMP in wine.. ick. i missed that part.. I would dump it real fast. :P | 13:53 |
| Welshman | Pici: use your power while and when you can | 13:53 |
| jobe | lianimator: well i'd go and buy one and try to get it working with 8.10. support is only going to get better. i rekon that if you stick at it you can get it working in 8.10, esp with info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom and its links. also, even if all that fails you can just switch distros, or install one along side it. | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | gmplayer/vlc/xine way to go. :) | 13:53 |
| phillip | Dr_willis: that includes codecs? gmplayer? | 13:53 |
| jobe | lianimator: if you like we can keep in touch so that when i find a solution ill let you know (im not giving up on this) | 13:54 |
| doglino | i have | 13:54 |
| doglino | jrib I have | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | phillip, i would dump windows media player. and stick to the native linux players. They can play most everything ive ever tossed at them. | 13:54 |
| lianimator | jobe: yes sure. I'll be coming here a lot | 13:54 |
| doglino | it's strange | 13:54 |
| phillip | Dr_willis: are they pwitty ? :D | 13:54 |
| Welshman | only cowards fight like that | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | phillip, gnome-mplayer + w32codecs package. does wonders | 13:54 |

| phillip | w32? win 32 codecs? so its sitll using ms stuff :P | 13:55 |

| DasEi | richard__:I once found that some of the default weatherstations where dead, so I had to look them up manually for my location | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | phillip, see medibuntu web page :) and mplayer homepage for reasons why.. | 13:55 |
| phillip | Dr_willis: sure | 13:55 |
| jobe | phillip: we beg you, write some gpl'd alternatives to all that stuff! | 13:56 |

| yyyyyy | hi all, has anyone successfully installed fglrx driver in ubuntu 8.10?? | 14:21 |
| Baatti | hi, I'm having a lot of trouble with setting up my Atheros AR5007EG wireless driver. I seem to have downloaded the right driver, and unpackaged it, but I don't know how to install it | 14:21 |
| PUNISHER | yyyyyyyy: I has | 14:21 |
| PUNISHER | ATI radeon | 14:22 |
| yyyyyy | PUNISHER: I thought fglrx doesn't support X server 1.5?? | 14:22 |
| solomon | do you still need to use the alternate cd for intrepid if you want to install a raid0? | 14:22 |
| beric | Basicly, the current network layout is that we have a router which distributes the dsl line to switches without a server computer, and I want to inject a server computer that can limit the p2p bandwith to a specfic percentage | 14:22 |
| ikonia | solomon yes | 14:22 |
| ikonia | solomon keep in mind not to put /boot on raid0 | 14:22 |
| ikonia | solomon: even better, don't use raid0 | 14:22 |
| PUNISHER | yyyyyyy: are you russian? | 14:22 |
| ross` | hi, can someone help me forward port 6112 to my laptop? | 14:22 |
| apelgate | hi | 14:22 |
| yyyyyy | PUNISHER: no? | 14:22 |
| N1ZJD | ikonia, how? | 14:23 |
| ikonia | ross thats normally done at a router level | 14:23 |
| apelgate | how do I configure the NIC in ubuntu (latest version) ? | 14:23 |
| solomon | ikonia: why not? striping is nice | 14:23 |
| ross` | ikonia: yea | 14:23 |
| ross` | i know | 14:23 |
| solomon | ikonia: and my workstation data is disposable | 14:23 |
| aoupi | ross`: portforwarding.com | 14:23 |
| ross` | my router is an ubuntu machine with 2 nics :p | 14:23 |
| ikonia | solomon it's terrible - raid 5 is striping, raid0 is concatinging | 14:23 |
| PUNISHER | yyyyy: upgrade youre X Server | 14:23 |
| aoupi | ross`: oh, then check out firestarter | 14:23 |
| ikonia | ross iptables is the way | 14:23 |
| ross` | ikonia: i know | 14:23 |
| ross` | but im havign trouble with iptables | 14:23 |
| ross` | what lines do i add to ipt-deafualts | 14:23 |

| Pici | xxxx001: please stop | 14:24 |
| === xxxx001 is now known as biNuN | ||
| solomon | ikonia: uh, no, raid0 is striping, raid1 is mirroring, raid5 is striping with parity | 14:24 |
| ikonia | N1ZJD: give them both an ip address on the same network, plug them into a switch or hub, and your done | 14:24 |
| aoupi | ross`: firestarter is a pretty dumbed down GUI to iptables, but if you're not doing anything too fancy you might prefer it | 14:24 |
| ikonia | solomon yes, thats right | 14:24 |
| ikonia | solomon without the parity - it's just concatination | 14:24 |
| PUNISHER | I must go.. | 14:24 |

| yyyyyy | Pici: I don't know how to say, but I upgraded my ubuntu from 8.04 | 14:24 |
| ross` | i just need to know how to get it to work >< | 14:25 |
| solomon | ikonia: well, i guess i was thinking of concatination as 'write everything to the first disk and then start writing everything to the second' | 14:25 |
| erUSUL | apelgate: System>Preferences>Network configuration | 14:25 |
| ikonia | solomon bad choice of words on my part in that case | 14:25 |
| * Xs142 giggles | 14:25 | |
| paul68 | ross`: $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i $WAN 1 --dport 55555 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.10/25:22 should do the trick | 14:25 |
| Xs142 | I just rickrolled a phonesalesman | 14:25 |
| solomon | ikonia: anyway, i don't need parity, so i might as well get quicker writes & reads | 14:25 |

| RJ2 | any chance it will work if i just force install the older packages? would be much quicker than a reinstall to hardy :/ | 15:47 |
| LjL | there isn't that factoid? hm. Helios, search for "http server" or "httpd" in synaptic. | 15:47 |
| kkathman | inzi85, you have to state your problem...dont just say help. | 15:48 |
| Helios | what httpd does? | 15:48 |
| biophile | how can I install thunderbird? | 15:48 |
| limecat | korogiannos: oh, then see if there is a newer version, as someone else suggested--like flash 10 | 15:48 |
| Helios | i think i alraedy have httpd... | 15:48 |
| Helios | coz i have installed apache2 | 15:48 |
| limecat | the adobe flash plugin is probably gonna be the fastest, but you could try gnash or one of the others | 15:48 |
| iamhis2 | the folder is in /user/share/icons you can change the system wide theme there with Golden-XCursors-3D-0.8 | 15:48 |

| daan | joshux, what's the exact problem? do you have any error messages? | 15:59 |

| Na-Fiann | Hi, I'm on intrepid trying to burn a cd in k3b, only it won't verify the burn anymore. It ejects the cd and the dialog says verifying, but nothing happens even if I close the cd tray again. This never happened in hardy,, anyone know what is going on? I'm on normal ubuntu btw.. | 16:17 |
| salohcin | csilk: The WPA docs all say that this is for 6.10 | 16:17 |

| mne | Hi. Instead of orinoco_cs i would liek to use hostap for my wireless card. Hi, I'm trying to get the hostap driver working with my wireless card. However, I've the problem that the orinoco_cs driver is loaded all the time instead. So I added a blacklist for the orinoco modules in /etc/modprobe.d. I also added a mapping for my wireless card to the hostap driver in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. However, the result is that the orinoco_cs driver doesn't get loaded, bu | 16:19 |
| mne | t the hostap_driver isn't loaded either. In the syslog it just says that the card is inserted, but nothing happens from there on. Can you give me a hint ? | 16:19 |

| DIL_ | why would i be seeing my networked computers only when they are connected wireless and not when connected via cable- buelher ? buehler? | 16:41 |

| Dr_Willis64 | mixed-_-, all i did was install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 16:42 |

| `Chris | pw-toxic: GRUB recognises many systems, Windows should just work off it. HAve you been able to use it since installing Ubuntu? | 16:43 |
| clever | c0p3rn1c: then the card itself works, but your video board doesnt :P | 16:43 |

| c0p3rn1c | clever: but I'm running compiz-fusion and I cant run a tv-tuner? | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis64 | mixed-_-, could be your system is using the non-sun java.. not sure on any issues. Ive not seen any..but i dont use many java based web sites | 16:44 |
| `Chris | Oops timbury, I reread what you said. I thought you meant Ubuntu management, not memory management. Sorry but the chan I said won't be your best bet. Here would be it or #ubuntu-eu | 16:44 |

Network manager finds the networks fine but when you click on one to connect, nothing happens. | 16:45 |

| c0p3rn1c | clever: well later pause-able but first let's try to get it working in real time :) | 16:47 |
| clever | c0p3rn1c: mythtv is a good program to be able to record/play/pause tv | 16:47 |
| clever | it doesnt use the overlay in the same way so it wont have the current problem | 16:47 |

| mini-man | Zaki[Sama]: in terminal | 16:56 |
| Yimpolo | DIL_: One other question. Is your wireless subnet different than your ethernet subnet? | 16:56 |
| Zaki[Sama] | i tape what | 16:56 |
| mini-man | Zaki[Sama]: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 16:56 |
| Yimpolo | DIL_: Check the "hosts allow" portion to see if all the correct subnets are defined. | 16:56 |
| DIL_ | Yimpolo: will check | 16:57 |
| Yimpolo | DIL_: thx | 16:57 |

| c0p3rn1c | clever: I can't play temp.mpg but it's 200mb so I guess it works ? | 16:57 |
| mudit | I m confused that whether it is a windows question or a Ubuntu question, but I use Ubuntu and I love it, but I am forced to use Windows because my IDE wont work under Ubuntu environment, and virtual box makes my machine extremely hot, so I was wondering can I load windows from an external hard drive ? | 16:57 |
| clever | c0p3rn1c: yeah something is working | 16:57 |
| ljuwaidah | Hi | 16:57 |

| chainoo | i need help installing the nvidia driver | 16:59 |
| ljuwaidah | anyone? | 16:59 |
| ikonia | ljuwaidah saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see the question "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know | 16:59 |
| * lifestream asks: is it safe to disable Computer Activity Logger? (both klogd and sysklogd)? Any side effects I should expect? I don't care about logs and I got bad disk space | 16:59 | |
| n8tuser | mudit which IDE ? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | lifestream: I find it important to use them | 17:00 |
| ikonia | lifestream: I would strongly recommend against it, they take up harldy any space | 17:00 |
| ljuwaidah | Sorry :D what's the difference between talk and inetutils-talk | 17:00 |
| hotdog0031 | Hey guys, when I use NetworkManager to connect to my university network, why is my hostname "northbound.uccs.edu" rather than "northbound.local", "northbound", or "localhost" like it should be? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | ljuwaidah: standalone daemon and one launched theough inetd | 17:00 |
| lifestream | <mudit> mid if i ask what IDE it is? (without getting in a war) ^^ | 17:00 |
| mudit | n8tuser: it is flashdevelop , dotnet based | 17:00 |
| linux_manju | Is there any ocfs or gfs or any cluster setup guru's here? | 17:01 |
| linux_manju | Need some help | 17:01 |
| ikonia | linux_manju I've used it, but I'm not a guru | 17:01 |
| ljuwaidah | ikonia: so which one should i go for? | 17:01 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: That would do.. | 17:01 |
| ljuwaidah | ytalk? :P | 17:01 |
| ikonia | ljuwaidah depends what you want | 17:01 |
| n8tuser | hotdog0031-> because thats what your dhcpclient received from your schools server | 17:01 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: I am all confused here after reading 10 docs :( | 17:01 |
| ikonia | linux_manju lets see if I can help | 17:01 |
| ljuwaidah | isn't the difference technical? | 17:02 |
| Glacies | hi guys. has anybody got Atheros XB63 Wireless LAN card ? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | ljuwaidah yes, but also effects what you want | 17:02 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: The setup I am planning to do is drbd + ocfs2.. | 17:02 |
| ikonia | linux_manju: ok | 17:02 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: Both primary/primary | 17:02 |
| lifestream | Glacies, no, but you should state your problem anyway | 17:02 |
| Carnage | anyone know enough about network manager to help me fix it? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Carnage: depends what the issue is | 17:02 |
| Carnage | ok; having spent a while googling to little success; i'm having trouble with my laptop after updating to 8.10, the only issue i've not yet found a solution for is network manager not working. The laptop will connect fine if you stick a wire in the back, however the wireless wont connect. Network manager finds the networks fine but when you click on one to connect, nothing happens. | 17:02 |
| Carnage | Additionally, even when connected to wired networks, it dosn't show as connected in network manager | 17:02 |
| hotdog0031 | n8tuser: Thanks. However, it seems to be bad because I think it confuses X programs. I get a "No protocol specified" and "Cannot open display :0" error whenever I start, say, xeyes for example. They work perfectly when I'm not connected to a network. | 17:02 |
| mudit | anyone ? | 17:03 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: First question is .. do I need to format /dev/drbd0 in both node1 and node2 | 17:03 |
| Glacies | lifestream: i dont have any problems, i want to buy a new laptop, that has this LAN card | 17:03 |
| ikonia | linux_manju: no | 17:03 |
| ljuwaidah | mudit: anyone doesn't help :D | 17:03 |
| ikonia | ljuwaidah: one node onle, it's a distributed file system | 17:03 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: So.. I need to format in node 1 alone and it will replicate | 17:03 |
| mudit | lol | 17:03 |
| mudit | but I want to fix it | 17:03 |
| ikonia | linux_manju not replicate - but be available to other node | 17:03 |
| Carnage | it, and my networking worked perfectly fine on 8.04 | 17:03 |
| ljuwaidah | ikonia: huh? | 17:03 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: Yes.. thanks | 17:04 |
| ikonia | ljuwaidah that wasn't for you, sorry | 17:04 |
| ljuwaidah | :) | 17:04 |
| n8tuser | hotdog0031-> what entry is in /etc/hosts | 17:04 |
| gavagai | how do i get ls to just list subdirectories? i don't want to list files or the contents of the subdirectories | 17:04 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: But.. As I understand cluster.conf should be availble in both node1 and node 2 along with ocfs-tools | 17:04 |
| timbury | linux_manju: you may want to get on the mailing list at beowulf.org | 17:04 |
| ikonia | mudit saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see the question "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know | 17:04 |
| lifestream | hotdog0031, ah, yeah. if you permanently use your school's network, you can add.. 127.0.0.1localhost YourSchoolHost to /etc/hosts i believe that is correct | 17:04 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Hardy:~$ sudo chown juan:juan ~/.gnome2 -R gives :chown: cannot access `/home/juan/.gnome2': Permission denied | 17:04 |
| linux_manju | timbury: Will try that.. thanks alot :) | 17:04 |
| ikonia | linux_manju thats as I understand it also | 17:04 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: Well.. Here is the problem I am facing now.. | 17:05 |
| Rioting_pacifist | how can root not hve sufficent permitions? | 17:05 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: If I create a file in node 1 its visible in node2 | 17:05 |
| ikonia | Rioting_pacifist: what are you doing ? | 17:05 |
| mudit | okies | 17:05 |
| ikonia | linux_manju: thats a good start | 17:05 |
| hotdog0031 | Here's my /etc/hosts, thanks lifestream and n8tuser for helping me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70980/ | 17:05 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: But If I add a line in node 2 that line is not getting replicated in node 1 | 17:05 |
| Carnage | [17:04] <ikonia> mudit saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see the question "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know // repeating the same question over and over could be viewed as spamming. | 17:05 |
| Rioting_pacifist | my firefox stop launching and was spitting out an error about .gnome2 so i tried deleating it (which failed) then i got that error which is wierd | 17:06 |
| ikonia | Carnage not if you wait a reasonable ammount of time, saying anyone is "spamming" as it's just a random comment to anyone who didn't see the question or can't answer it | 17:06 |
| lifestream | hotdog0031, yeah, from my experience, that looks good. | 17:06 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: FYI.. both are mounted in /mnt ( Would like to have a loadbalancer + HA ) for my CVS server | 17:06 |
| DIL_ | Yimpolo: must have been a hiccup shut down and the networked computers came up thanks again | 17:07 |
| ikonia | linux_manju I'd ask the mailing list, as it should be two way if you have it in parallel mode | 17:07 |
| n8tuser | hotdog0031-> make the entry like 127.0.0.1 northbound.uccs.edu localhost | 17:07 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: Will definetly try that.. Thanks alot for your time | 17:07 |
| ikonia | linux_manju sorry it wasn't fixed | 17:07 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: Hey.. NP man.. but thanks for the initiation | 17:08 |
| linux_manju | ikonia: Will try and update you if i find a fix | 17:08 |
| hotdog0031 | lifestream: Thank you, but it doesn't seem to help. Would you like me to post my xauth information? | 17:08 |

| jhol | whats the brasileiro? | 17:09 |
| Carnage | n8tuser: i'll retype them, give me a moment | 17:10 |
| lifestream | hotdog0031, I would love to know how to work with xauth, but I don't sorry :P Last time i used my laptop at Uni, was years ago, I don't remember what I did to make apps work with localhost.. I think you would get better help reporting this as a " bug" in launchpad, even though it might not quite be one. Atleast you could get more specialized information | 17:10 |
| n8tuser | Carnage-> also add the results of route -n | 17:10 |
| n8tuser | Carnage-> use the pastebin to paste | 17:10 |

| Zaki[Sama] | from 680x620 to 1250.860 | 17:15 |
| hotdog0031 | mutid: You can try qemu (very slow), vmware (very unstable), Virtualbox (you said it made your machine run hot), or you could add your external hard drive to GRUB's boot menu if you want to dual-boot. | 17:15 |
| Carnage | n8tuser: pastebin.com/m471db4be | 17:15 |
| ddgoose | devmon: yes you can add it to your /etc/fstab | 17:15 |
| hotdog0031 | I don't think windows responds well to booting normally off the external hard drive like that though. | 17:15 |

| sacix2_ | ? | 17:17 |
| n8tuser | Carnage-> you ethernet works okay right? | 17:17 |
| hotdog0031 | Tetracomm: Many languages. We use C for the Linux kernel, we use python for some desktop applications, we use Bash scripting for a lot of your auxilary scripts, perhaps some C#/Mono for some weird programs... | 17:17 |
| Zaki[Sama] | nobody for help ? | 17:17 |
| Carnage | n8tuser: when plugged in wired to the switch, yes | 17:17 |
| hotdog0031 | Ubuntu (at least the normal flavor) uses GTK for its user interface. | 17:17 |
| Tetracomm | Alright. | 17:17 |
| Tetracomm | Thank you. :) | 17:17 |

| Carnage | n8tuser: when wired, yes. wireless, no | 17:18 |
| n8tuser | Carnage-> which chip does your wifi card have? | 17:19 |
| Carnage | n8tuser: the wireless dosn't even appear to connect; its found the network fine however when i click on it it no longer brings up the connecting dialogue it used to have | 17:19 |
| sperlyjinx_ | I've developed an application that I have packaged inside an ubuntu VM and would like to redistribute it. I've read the GPL and it seems this is allowed, but is Ubuntu distributed under the GPL or is there another license I should be looking at? | 17:19 |
| Carnage | n8tuser: give me a clue to find that out? | 17:19 |
| n8tuser | Carnage-> sudo lshw -C | 17:19 |
| LjL | sperlyjinx_, Ubuntu as a whole isn't on the GPL. You are not, I believe, supposed to redistribute modified versions of Ubuntu (except in some circumstances) while keeping the trademarked logos etc. | 17:20 |

| hotdog0031 | sperlyjinx: I think it depends on the individual programs inside ubuntu. Like, restricted-extras wouldn't let you do that. If you'd like, go to the ubuntu website and read their license if you're that paranoid about it. | 17:21 |
| gavagai | Does counter-strike source run natively on linux or do you run it through wine? | 17:21 |
| slinx | how do i download the matrix screensaver that comes with kubuntu...i dont have it | 17:21 |
| hubar | gavagai: through wine | 17:21 |
| [T]ank1 | after creating the usb startdisk from the system menu in 8.10, where would i find the xorg.conf that it uses? I need to make it work with dual screens. | 17:21 |
| hotdog0031 | gavagai: You gotta run steam and CS:S through wine. Sorry, bro. | 17:21 |
| sanguisdex | what danger would there be in using debian repos for software? | 17:22 |
| hotdog0031 | [T]ank1: There isn't any. When your USB system boots, it generates for itself an xorg.conf that it thinks will work well for the computer it's being booted on. | 17:22 |

| Carnage | n8tuser: don't think i have the old file anywhere... | 17:41 |

| hellues | huseyin uzmez e tepki gosteremeyen kitleden rahatsiziz. | 17:54 |
| _2 | Pici it's not a server issue. it's an irc client question | 17:54 |
| astronaute | microphone works of course under windows | 17:54 |
| astronaute | it is Intel HDA | 17:54 |
| Pici | _2: Then ask in #irssi, freenode uses alis for channel listing | 17:54 |
| _2 | astronaute and you are recording the correct device ? | 17:55 |
| Dominik | astronaute: I have same problem with my mic... I thought it was just bad mic | 17:55 |
| astronaute | well I tried each one :/ | 17:55 |
| astronaute | _2 I google intel HDA and it seems to be the problem | 17:55 |
| Joker_-_ | hey is there a way to put a thing that's already running in a screen, like bg it, enter a creen, then fg it... would it work? | 17:55 |
| soneil | _2: I believe it may depend on server-side somewhat. I'm currently on two networks with irssi, /list #ubuntu* works as expected on one, and returns nothing on the other | 17:56 |
| astronaute | Dominik, it isnt, as it works under windows | 17:56 |
| NeO_DLS | hi | 17:56 |
| _2 | astronaute ah hda. yeah i have problems there too. propriatry crap | 17:56 |
| astronaute | i think it is driver related, maybe some issues with Intel HDA | 17:56 |
| daves111 | ok, so it looks like I install samba and then swat | 17:56 |
| astronaute | _2 well great :) any solutions ? | 17:56 |

| Joker_-_ | daves111: indeed | 17:57 |

| astronaute | Dominik, well, where else do you want me to plug :) | 17:57 |
| daves111 | any cautions? | 17:57 |
| _2 | astronaute buy a real sound card ;/ and i know that with lappys that may not even be an option... | 17:57 |

| Dominik | astronaute: is it the same with both, that you pick up background noise (even ppl speaking in the background) but no matter how loud you screem you don't pick up your own voice? | 17:58 |
| astronaute | Dominik, thats right, only very low noise | 17:58 |
| daves111 | any cautions on my installing samba then swat???? | 17:59 |
| Dominik | astronaute: that seems like such a strange problem, and I demand a solution : P | 17:59 |

| astronaute | Dominik, well _2 just gave me a link :) | 17:59 |

| hwilde | Hello, how can I still register with dns (like /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf send hostname) if I am not using DHCP but a Static IP ? | 18:00 |
| LjL | Dominik: uhm sorry i wasn't following... picking up background *but* not your voice seems impossible *unless* what you have is a microphone array (two microphones for instance), which are intended to work directionally (cancel out-of-phrase stuff), but instead work the opposite way... | 18:00 |
| _2 | Joker_-_ name fits | 18:00 |
| rrittenhouse | astronaute: I have an Intel HDA on my mobo and all I get in 8.10 is a nasty noise and a little bit of audio. My front panel controls don't even work. cgillogly's audio works fine but his front panel still doesn't. GO figure. | 18:01 |
| phillip | please can somebody suggest what next step, critical part of the OS is not working................. am I the only person who cant make pptp connections via vpnc? | 18:01 |
| Joker_-_ | _2: :D | 18:01 |
| Dominik | LjL: its a built in mic, and it does just that | 18:01 |
| EJ | hwilde: find out what your isp's dns servers are and hard set them along with your static ip address | 18:01 |
| Joker_-_ | _2: any idea bout my screen question? | 18:01 |
| astronaute | rrittenhouse, well everything works fine here except microphone, iguess im lucky :) | 18:02 |
| Dominik | LjL: I hear the TV in the background but not my voice (is my brain possibly plaing a trick on me? canceling out echos and stuff) | 18:02 |
| LjL | Dominik: built-in microphones can be arrays, which laptop is it? | 18:02 |
| astronaute | alienware | 18:02 |

| smoovep | Question? is there any difference with ubuntu 8.4 and 8.10 ?? | 18:03 |

| Rioting_pacifist | smoovep: depends on what your looking for | 18:03 |
| _2 | Joker_-_ app ^z something ;fg | 18:03 |
| Dominik | on a different note: is it possible to shut down linux and upon reboot have it open all the windows in the same positions again? | 18:04 |
| _2 | or did i read the wrong question Joker_-_ ? | 18:04 |
| daves111 | I looked at swat and webmin; which is better - I've got limited skills | 18:04 |
| LjL | Dominik: i can't find that information, but can you perhaps see two holes that might be microphones instead of just one? | 18:04 |

| Rioting_pacifist | a3Dman: yes its in xorg.conf | 18:06 |
| smoovep | 8.10 it is... | 18:06 |

| Rioting_pacifist | a3Dman: is your vsync wrong or just your res? if the screen is ok but too small then dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server should let you select avalible resultions, but im sure there will be an easier gnome way of doing it | 18:07 |

| RUMMY | I have on desktop pdf file on workplace firs, but I don't want to be it in workplace 2 | 18:52 |
| gavagai | ikonia, i don't really understand what that would mean but I do not use my ubuntu machine as an imap client. i have an email account with imap. i never use it from this machine. i want to downlaod a local copy of every message from the imap server to this machine. | 18:52 |

| Cripps | Hi, I've just installed openbox on kubuntu, and I'm trying to set up some keybindings, but it appears as though openbox is not reading my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml ... has anybody run into this before? Any ideas? Do you need me to post the config changes I've made? | 18:52 |
| ikonia | RUMMY: you can't change things that are stored on your desktop, just what you "do" or "work on" on the desktop | 18:53 |
| Carnage | ikonia: still says not associated | 18:53 |
| AlanBShepard70 | Can anyone point me to a site that will walk me through installing the 2.6.28-rc4 kernel? | 18:53 |
| erUSUL | !kernel | AlanBShepard70 | 18:53 |
| ubottu | AlanBShepard70: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 18:53 |
| ikonia | Carnage: then you need to work out why, are you using encyption for example | 18:53 |
| fosco__ | AlanBShepard70, sure? this is not a good idea | 18:53 |
| fosco__ | AlanBShepard70, www.kernel.org | 18:53 |
| arve | i guess you mean camorama. It still doesn't find /dev/video0 or any /dev/video*. | 18:53 |
| Carnage | i've tried it previously without encryption, still no good | 18:53 |
| greencookie | where would be a better place to ask about ubuntu eee? | 18:53 |
| ikonia | Carnage: that was jsut an example, you may have to set the speed rate, the essid, the encyption level, they are all command line options | 18:54 |

| paul68 | Carnage: what version are you on 8.04 or 8.10 | 18:54 |
| ikonia | Carnage: try iwlist see if you can see your acces point assuming it's broadcasting | 18:54 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: hi! how are you ? :) | 18:54 |
| AlanBShepard70 | fosco_: I'm sure, this is a fresh install with nothing to lose, I want to learn and I want to see if the new kernel supports all my hardware. | 18:54 |
| Carnage | paul68: 8.10 | 18:55 |

| paul68 | Carnage: ok when you click on your network interface the one close to the clock do you see hidden networks? | 18:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: really, so what the difference ? :) | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MaT-dg: the mount will fail if the folder does not exist afaik | 18:56 |
| erUSUL | GNU\colossus: nm-applet | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | C0p3rn1c: just makes things quick | 18:56 |
| gavagai | ikonia, i also am not sure you are correct. imap clients don't just download everything on your account to a local copy. it only gets all the message headers and then gets the messages on demand. | 18:56 |
| GNU\colossus | erUSUL: thanks | 18:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: cool | 18:56 |
| sureis | hi, what is the hope of running games like crysis or FEAR on ubuntu? | 18:56 |

| ikonia | gavagai: correct, but any messages y ou have "selected" will be stored locally | 18:57 |
| sureis | ok thanks | 18:57 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: hehe, ic, all about the functionality ey ? :) | 18:57 |
| MaT-dg | ActionParsnip: I have an entire partition mounted in '/home', just want a seperate partition again | 18:57 |
| gavagai | ikonia, so what do you mean imap 'by definition' creates a local copy? | 18:57 |
| ikonia | gavagai: if you open the client and select the messages it will keep a local copy on your machine | 18:58 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: I'm trying to make some money off linux support, but ehm I'm not having any luck today :) | 18:58 |

| ActionParsnip | !jaunty | 18:58 |
| ikonia | gavagai: imap is not "mail storage" how it is stored will depend on the server's configuation | 18:58 |
| gavagai | there has to be a better way to dupe an imap account than that | 18:58 |
| ikonia | gavagai: take a copy of the mail store of the server | 18:58 |

| LjL | cw-brad: ?! | 18:59 |
| LjL | cw-brad: you don't need an invite. just join. | 18:59 |
| ikonia | cw-brad: you don't need an invite | 18:59 |
| C0p3rn1c | thats what happens if I start mythtv-setup | 19:00 |
| cw-brad | the #testing ??? | 19:00 |
| savvas | cw-brad: #ubuntu+1 ? | 19:00 |
| ikonia | cw-brad: thats nothing to do with ubuntu | 19:00 |
| gavagai | ikonia, how do i access the mail store on a server? it isn't my server. | 19:00 |
| ikonia | C0p3rn1c: it starts the setup process | 19:00 |
| Pici | cw-brad: Who said anything about #testing? | 19:00 |
| LjL | cw-brad: what is #testing? | 19:00 |
| luke__ | how is everyone doing | 19:00 |
| ikonia | gavagai: then your out of luck | 19:00 |
| gavagai | bullshit | 19:00 |
| Dvyjones | Anyone know a linux software similar to the Mac OSX program "Coda"? | 19:00 |
| cw-brad | try to join #testing channel | 19:00 |
| ikonia | gavagai: that language isn ot needed | 19:00 |
| C0p3rn1c | ikonia: I know, something is wrong with the drivers I think | 19:00 |
| ikonia | cw-brad: thats nothing to do with ubuntu | 19:00 |
| gavagai | obviously you can slurp all emails from an imap account without having root or using a mail client to select every message. | 19:00 |
| cw-brad | ahh i c | 19:00 |
| arve | platius: ugh. my model isn't listed. neither at http://connect.creativelabs.com/opensource/Lists/Webcams/AllItems.aspx :-/ | 19:00 |
| cw-brad | there no one in #jaunty | 19:01 |
| arve | well, thanks for your help, i'll do some further research | 19:01 |
| cw-brad | except me | 19:01 |
| ikonia | gavagai: how ? if only downloads the headers as you've rightly said | 19:01 |
| LjL | cw-brad, answer me a question - can you read? | 19:01 |
| Pici | !jaunty | cw-brad READ THIS | 19:01 |
| ubottu | cw-brad READ THIS: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - UDS December 8th-12th in Mountain View, CA, USA - Jaunty doesn't even really exist yet, but join #ubuntu+1 for help and discussion. | 19:01 |

| Carnage | paul68: there isn't a hardware drivers menua option | 19:01 |
| ikonia | cw-brad: you are incable of reading simple instructions so it is best you don't even look at jaunty | 19:01 |
| cw-brad | ahh i c | 19:01 |
| cw-brad | thanks ubootu | 19:01 |
| cw-brad | ubottu* | 19:01 |
| savvas | :P | 19:02 |
| gavagai | ikonia, if there isn't a program that does that i will eat my hat. i am not "out of luck" | 19:02 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: yeah ubuntu really ownz if you have hardware that is supported correctly | 19:02 |
| gavagai | that would be unbelievably retarted | 19:02 |
| linuxkrn | does anyone know of a how-to/docs/website that talks about signing your own apt-proxy mirror? | 19:02 |
| paul68 | Carnage: go into system => administration => hardware drivers | 19:02 |
| ikonia | gavagai: no it wouldn't as it's the same as downloading every message - which is what a mail client does | 19:02 |
| C0p3rn1c | but thats a big if | 19:02 |
| ikonia | gavagai: thats the program that does it - a mail client | 19:02 |
| gavagai | ok here we go right here "offline imap" utility automatically slurps all messages from an imap server | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | C0p3rn1c: its a fine OS. its not for everyone | 19:03 |
| gavagai | http://software.complete.org/software/projects/show/offlineimap | 19:03 |
| ikonia | gavagai: thats just doing what a mail client does | 19:03 |
| ikonia | gavagai: downloading all messages into a local store | 19:03 |
| Carnage | paul68: that option deffinatly isn't there... | 19:03 |
| gavagai | jesus christ but I DON"T HAVE TO DO IT | 19:03 |
| Winkie | gavagai: try fetchmail? | 19:03 |
| LjL | jesus christ has nothing to do with this | 19:03 |
| gavagai | Winkie, yeah i thought that might work too. thanks | 19:03 |
| Winkie | gavagai: or 'getmail' i think, i forget the alternatives | 19:04 |
| Dabbu | After updating from 8.04 to 8.10 i am not able to hibernate my laptop.....its hangs | 19:04 |
| Winkie | i don't know what ikonia's point is, i guess he's classing fetchmail and the like as mail clients, which they are from the server's perspective | 19:04 |
| platius | arve; perhaps you needed to reboot after gspca install? | 19:04 |
| PeterBye | How do you get snort working ?!?!?! | 19:04 |
| RUMMY | so how can I put desktop files in different workspace? | 19:04 |
| ikonia | Winkie: fetchmail works fine - it's just a mail client | 19:04 |
| ikonia | RUMMY: you can't | 19:04 |

| Carnage | paul68: its been over my head for a while... the card is functioning correctly; sortof... drivers seem to be there and working; eg: i can scan for networks i just cant connect to any | 19:11 |
| PeterBye | How do you get snort working ?!?!?! | 19:11 |
| paul68 | Carnage: is it an external card? | 19:12 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: have you installed it ? | 19:12 |
| Carnage | paul68: nope internal | 19:12 |
| meuserj | ok.. something annoying I can't figure out... the update manager notification error icon keeps coming up telling me it's been a while since the update info has been updated. When I start the update-manager app, it says it's been 16 days. Refreshing the data manually doesn't make this go away. | 19:12 |
| paul68 | ikonia: the hardware driver part is present in every ubuntu version or am I wrong? | 19:13 |

| PeterBye | ikonia, I downloaded the file | 19:13 |
| PeterBye | is it supposed to be in a certain folder ? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | paul68: sorry I wasn't paying attention | 19:13 |
| Winkie | meuserj: try running 'sudo apt-get update' in a terminal, see if you get any errors? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: install it from the ubuntu repos | 19:13 |
| PeterBye | what's that ? | 19:14 |
| Dvyjones | Is there something similar to WINE, only for running Mac OSX apps? | 19:14 |

| tlacuache | hey, i'm helping a coworker who was trying to install ubuntu on an external hard drive. he did everything right, except he accidentally put the bootloader on his laptop's hard drive instead. i got him fixed up with a super grub disk, restoring the windows bootloader. what i'm wondering now is if there's a way to just install grub on the external disk without having to re-do the entire isntallation | 19:14 |
| meuserj | err no errors | 19:14 |
| greencookie | ok ikonia :p | 19:15 |
| Winkie | meuserj: that is an odd one, have you tried restarting or logging out + in in order to reload the applet? | 19:15 |

| eross | csilk - ty, where can i find these backports | 19:19 |
| Gabbsmo | xubuntu vs fluxubuntu, wich is faster/userfirendy? | 19:19 |
| wiijii | There is no samba installed, no samba process running, and no samba config directory. Ubuntu can't install the samba service because dpkg flakes out | 19:19 |
| csilk | eross, you would need to add them to your software sources list | 19:19 |
| paul68 | Carnage: what does it say arround the network part driver wise | 19:19 |
| wiijii | 'Cannot configure samba' | 19:19 |
| PeterBye | is that going to remove any files | 19:19 |
| Winkie | Gabbsmo: fluxubuntu will be slightly fast but much less user friendly | 19:19 |
| eross | right.. guess i need to look on the gimp site to see what they are | 19:19 |
| ikonia | Carnage: thats interesting, I've had no problems with that card, however I college said he had all world of pain | 19:19 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: no, totally safe | 19:19 |
| PeterBye | the boss has some stuff on here and I don't nkow how much he needs | 19:19 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: very safe | 19:20 |
| csilk | eross, if your on hardy you can only upgrade upto version 2.4.6 though | 19:20 |
| abbronzato2 | hello to all, someone can help me for enable ics? i'm going crazy for try to configure it and does not works | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | wiijii: can you give me the complete line, you shouldnt need to login as root | 19:20 |
| wiijii | So.... what the heck? There is no google help with this. Has samba somehow hijacked my login process? The 'cannot add entry' error is a samba error, but occurs at login... no idea why | 19:20 |
| csilk | eross, give me a sec I will walk you through adding the backports | 19:20 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: if it's the bosses machine you may want to ask him what your doing before trying to put network snooping software on | 19:20 |
| Gabbsmo | does xubuntu and fluxubuntu apply to this article? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 19:20 |
| wiijii | I prefer logging in as root as it saves me typing sudo all the time | 19:20 |
| wiijii | And the line is, when logging on, say from gdm: 'Failed to add entry for user wiji' | 19:20 |
| Winkie | wiijii: logging in as root is unsafe, do you get this when you log in as any user or only as root | 19:20 |
| wiijii | No any user | 19:20 |
| PeterBye | ikonia, normally I would but he's being investigated and I need to do this c0v3rtly | 19:20 |
| wiijii | And I know what I'm doing, don't worry | 19:20 |
| Bodsda | im a bit of a noob when it comes to web programming and web servers, im trying to set up a personal wiki -- ive installed php5 and apache 2 and set up appropriate folders, it then tells me to; in my browser, go to localhost/apache2-default/pmwiki/pmwiki.php and then i should get more instructions from that php file -- but firefox just tries to download it -- is that meant to happen? | 19:21 |
| arrrghhh | is there a progress bar for rm? | 19:21 |
| meuserj | wiijii: whoa.. don't log in as root.. don't don't don't | 19:21 |
| PeterBye | the committee asked me to m0n!tor his tr4ff!c | 19:21 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: then this channel is not appropriate to gain help | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Gabbsmo: id install xubuntu then install fluxbox, fluxbuntu seems to not be very supported in the community | 19:21 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: contact IT professionals | 19:21 |
| PeterBye | ikonia, why ?? | 19:21 |
| csilk | eross, can you first confirm the version of Ubuntu you are using? | 19:21 |
| PeterBye | ikonia, that's so unfair of you - if I didn't tell you that you'd still help me! | 19:21 |
| tillux | Bodsda: looks like the apache server is not configured properly | 19:21 |
| abbronzato2 | erUSUL, are you here? i need an help for the ics | 19:21 |
| wiijii | Regardless of root login, this is a weird problem | 19:21 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: you have told me - so now I can't | 19:21 |
| Winkie | wiijii: indeed | 19:21 |
| wiijii | And now samba can't be configured, so I don't know what's going on | 19:21 |
| erUSUL | abbronzato2: ics? | 19:21 |
| Gabbsmo | ActionParsnip do I install fluxbox in the same way that is described in this article? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 19:21 |
| Bodsda | tillux, hmmm, okay ty -- il go and do some more research | 19:21 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: and to be honest I wouldn't have taken it ftuerh on your bosses machine as you don't see confident with what your doing | 19:21 |
| PeterBye | ikonia, you know what nevermind I'm actually doing this for a project now can you help me | 19:22 |

| ikonia | PeterBye: sorry no | 19:22 |
| Winkie | do you get it when you log on from a terminal? hit ctrl + alt + f1 and login there (make sure you know how to get back!) | 19:22 |
| abbronzato2 | erUSUL, hello, yes internet connection sharing | 19:22 |
| PeterBye | ikonia, I have to m0n!t0r his tr4ff!c | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Gabbsmo: sudo apt-get install fluxbox, logoff and change session type | 19:22 |
| wiijii | Well I assume so as I get it with root. Hang on I'll check | 19:22 |
| abbronzato2 | i'm going crazy for try to configure it | 19:22 |
| RickX | Does anyone have Chromium working properly? | 19:22 |
| Carnage | ikonia: it worked perfectly fine for me till i upgraded to 8.10 | 19:22 |

| arrrghhh | RickX, for linux? | 19:22 |
| cw-brad | Bodsda | have you tried e107? | 19:22 |
| ikonia | Carnage: I can believe that | 19:22 |
| wiijii | yep I do get it | 19:22 |
| RickX | arrrghhh: yes | 19:22 |
| russell__ | didn't mean to do taht | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | wiijii: please put my name at the start of lines | 19:22 |
| Jodoog | After I have downloaded the 2.6.28rc4 kernel (patch?) from ZEN-SOURCES.ORG -> how do you install it? Thanks! :D | 19:22 |
| Carnage | ikonia: any easy way to downgrade? | 19:22 |
| Winkie | wiijii: check /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/* | 19:23 |
| Bodsda | cw-brad, whats that? | 19:23 |
| arrrghhh | RickX, i'd wait. the only way is with wine currently. i'd much rather a native implementation. | 19:23 |
| wiijii | what am I looking for | 19:23 |
| Winkie | wiijii: i'm not a ubuntu expert, nor GDM | 19:23 |
| RickX | I can't change confiogure ation, can't fire weapons... | 19:23 |
| russell__ | tillux: yeah it is, pasted wrong clipboard | 19:23 |
| Winkie | wiijii: well, 'rogue commands' | 19:23 |
| Winkie | i can't be more specific i'm afraid | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | abbronzato2: what help do you need? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | Carnage not really, if you can hang on till I get home as I'm on a train I can work with you a little better work this through | 19:23 |
| PeterBye | ikonia, that's very unfair of you and unethical | 19:23 |
| Winkie | wiijii: i don't know what would cause your problem, but that's a file executed by most logins | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | abbronzato2: are you using firestarter or doing it manually? | 19:23 |
| eross | I believe it's 8.04, I haven't upgraded it. I did go into software sources and check unsupported hardy backports, am updating stuff now | 19:23 |
| wiijii | hmmm no nothing untoward in there I don't think | 19:23 |
| RickX | arrrghhh: Wine? Chromium is an Asteroids nockoff | 19:23 |
| ompaul | PeterBye, your request is unethical | 19:23 |
| Carnage | ikonia: well, thats kinda convenient; food is nearly ready here :p | 19:23 |
| csilk | eross, ok brilliant :D | 19:23 |
| abbronzato2 | erUSUL, firestarter but give me an eth0 error | 19:23 |
| eross | a bunch of files are loading | 19:24 |
| abbronzato2 | (not connected) | 19:24 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: it's not ethical to ask people to hepl you snoop your boss, there are legal companies | 19:24 |
| eross | 204 :P | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | RickX, i thought you were talking about the chrome browser which has "chromium" beneath it for its engine (as i understand) | 19:24 |
| abbronzato2 | one moment, i'm writing the actual configuration | 19:24 |
| meuserj | wiijii: it sounds like pam is doing it | 19:24 |
| wiijii | The 'failed to add entry for user' comes from smbpasswd. Why on earth would that be running after logon? | 19:24 |
| Winkie | ikonia / PeterBye: there are legal ramifications to snooping on people, you should take legal advice before doing so | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | RickX, http://playubuntu.com/linux-games-/1263.html | 19:24 |
| ikonia | Winkie: exactly why I am not taking this further | 19:25 |
| meuserj | wiijii: check your pam.d config files to see if samba added anything there and didn't remove it. | 19:25 |
| arrrghhh | RickX, like that? | 19:25 |
| wiijii | meuserj: okey | 19:25 |
| erUSUL | abbronzato2: what error? | 19:25 |
| abbronzato2 | eth0 not connected | 19:25 |
| wiijii | there's a samba entry in pam.d | 19:25 |
| RickX | arrrghhh: thanks, I'll take a look | 19:25 |
| rrittenhouse | Any GPG experts? I need help figuring out subkeys. | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wiijii: that'll do it | 19:25 |
| wiijii | remove? | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wiijii: when yuo uninstalled sambe did yu use --purge? | 19:26 |
| Winkie | wiijii: you'd be looking at something like /etc/pam.d/login | 19:26 |
| wiijii | no I didn't purge | 19:26 |
| PeterBye | Winkie, it's a lab experiment ther are no ram!fic4ti0ns | 19:26 |
| abbronzato2 | erUSUL, router (+ dns + gateway) 192.168.1.1 | 19:26 |
| abbronzato2 | pc ubuntu 8.10 (connected via ath0) so 192.168.1.40 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 | 19:26 |
| abbronzato2 | i'd like to share with eth0 | 19:26 |
| abbronzato2 | i have tryed to left it in dhcp , and in manual too (192.168.1.41 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1) | 19:26 |
| FloodBot3 | abbronzato2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:26 |
| Winkie | having /etc/pam.d/samba should be pretty common i think | 19:26 |
| wiijii | and yeah there;s login too... | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wiijii: sudo apt-get install samba; sudo apt-get --purge remove samba | 19:26 |
| n8tuser | PeterBye-> are you from this admin.morrisville.edu ? | 19:26 |
| ompaul | PeterBye, drop the l33t speak it impresses no one | 19:26 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: you've told us its to spy, and stop using leet speak please, I uggest you drop the topic | 19:26 |
| Winkie | PeterBye: snooping on anyone without their permission can be very illegal, regardless of the situation | 19:26 |
| PeterBye | n8tuser, I have no idea what you are talking aboot | 19:26 |
| meuserj | wiijii: no.. just dpkg -P samba | 19:26 |
| Winkie | PeterBye: unless you specifically have written permission from the person you're intending to snoop on, don't do it | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | meuserj: nice | 19:27 |
| PeterBye | Winkie, it is a lab experiment and don't try and get the police involved on me | 19:27 |
| n8tuser | PeterBye-> you are from that school yeah? | 19:27 |
| abbronzato2 | erUSUL, is it possible to talk in private? sorry | 19:27 |
| ompaul | PeterBye, is your name mike hunt? | 19:27 |
| Winkie | PeterBye: experiment or not, you are going to need written permission | 19:27 |
| ikonia | PeterBye: drop it please | 19:27 |
| gnutz | dang | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ompaul: my god thats older than me | 19:27 |
| wiijii | hmmm dpkg -P didn't help. I'll try reinstalling and purging | 19:27 |
| erUSUL | abbronzato2: ok | 19:27 |
| abbronzato2 | thx | 19:27 |
| PeterBye | n8tuser, I'm unaware of any of the accusations you are making | 19:27 |
| n8tuser | PeterBye-> are you from this admin.morrisville.edu ..someone will inform the admin at that place | 19:28 |
| PeterBye | ompaul, I don't appreciate your ruse and please leave me alone | 19:28 |
| meuserj | wiijii: if dpkg -P doesn't work, reinstalling and purging probably won't either... try commenting out any samba related lines in your pam.d files | 19:28 |
| ompaul | PeterBye, please cease your conversation here your client identifies that name | 19:28 |
| wiijii | I couldn't see any samba related stuff there | 19:28 |
| PeterBye | n8tuser, keep talking about things that have no relevance to me | 19:28 |
| wiijii | i.e. in the pam.d/<file> files | 19:28 |
| RickX | arrrghhh: yes, that's the type of game I mena, now I just need to figure out what the keyboard isn't working properly. | 19:29 |
| n8tuser | PeterBye-> easy dig -x 136.204.170.20 | 19:29 |

| PeterBye | n8tuser, I HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO AROUND SNOOPING INFORMATION ON PEOPLE | 19:29 |
| Winkie | n8tuser: you're looking at the SOA | 19:30 |
| meuserj | wiijii: err.. check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file too | 19:30 |
| gavagai | lol | 19:30 |
| Winkie | n8tuser: not the PTR | 19:30 |
| Winkie | n8tuser: just fyi :) | 19:30 |

| n8tuser | Winkie-> general vicinity :) | 19:30 |
| admin_masu3701 | when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen..why is it doin that | 19:30 |
| iamhis2 | !panel text color | 19:30 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:30 |
| Winkie | n8tuser: well admin. in that context means admin@, just wanted to make sure you knew that | 19:30 |
| wiijii | nothing referencing samba in there | 19:31 |
| wiijii | I can't apt-get install samba as it fails on dpk configuration | 19:31 |
| gavagai | Well i just backed up my mail account with offline-imap and it works great. so if anyone else needs to backup their email i recommend it | 19:31 |
| D3RGPS31 | Can tty display videos? | 19:31 |
| n8tuser | Winkie-> actually i forgot already, whats the diff between SOA and PTR ? | 19:31 |
| sire | is there a way to make default 8.1 installtion run in textmode?; X seems to stay black after loading screen probably because of ATI driver issue | 19:31 |
| admin_masu3701 | anybody | 19:31 |
| Winkie | n8tuser: SOA is Source Of Authority, it identifies which server has the authorititive record for that address | 19:31 |
| meuserj | wiijii: it REALLY sounds like pam... | 19:31 |
| Stalker72 | I use Amarok and gtkpod to manage my iPod. In Amarok, I've fetched all the correct album covers from Amazon (am I right?). On my iPod, they're displayed wrong. It spreads around all the album covers and messes it up! It's reported as a bug on Launchpad, but there's no activity. For me, this is a very critical bug. What can I do? | 19:31 |
| Winkie | a PTR record is the mapping from IP address to hostname | 19:31 |
| bipolar | Does anyone know if there is a backport of the sierra module to hardy? I've just received 3 at&t laptop connect cards that I need to get working and it seems I need an updated module. | 19:31 |
| n8tuser | Winkie-> thank you, thats a good refresher | 19:32 |
| wiijii | hmmm | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sire: press esc when grub loads and choose failsafe, you can then drop to root console | 19:32 |
| Winkie | n8tuser: what you're seeing is that the IP you queried is controlled by dns1.domain.com, and the admin contact for it is admin@domain.com | 19:32 |
| wiijii | I'm not too hot on PAM issues tbh | 19:32 |

| eross | n8tuser - how'd you get the ip | 19:32 |
| meuserj | wiijii: I don't think anyone really understands pam... they just cut and paste from tutorials | 19:33 |
| sire | ActionParsnip: thanks, but there is no grub, its a clean new install from boot cd | 19:33 |
| n8tuser | eross-> owning a crystal ball helps sometimes | 19:33 |
| meuserj | wiijii: did you do anything with winbind? is it installed? | 19:33 |
| wiijii | meuserj: sadly there's nothing about this problem on google, and I've never come across it before | 19:33 |
| wiijii | possibly I messed around with winbind trying to set up samba | 19:33 |
| admin_masu3701 | can anyone help | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sire: no grub means your system would not boot anything | 19:33 |
| admin_masu3701 | when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen...why is it doin that | 19:33 |
| cowbellemoo | stalker72, maybe ask in the amarok channel | 19:33 |
| Stalker72 | I use Amarok and gtkpod to manage my iPod. In Amarok, I've fetched all the correct album covers from Amazon (am I right?). On my iPod, they're displayed wrong. It spreads around all the album covers and messes it up! It's reported as a bug on Launchpad, but there's no activity. For me, this is a very critical bug. What can I do? | 19:33 |
| meuserj | see if there is anything referencing winbind in /etc/pam.d/* or /etc/nsswitch.conf | 19:34 |
| Stalker72 | cowbellemoo: What's the name? | 19:34 |
| _Roman | I am using ubuntu server (hardy), it it possible to go through the server setup screens (the screens that appeared during installation, asking if I want a LAMP server etc)? | 19:34 |
| cowbellemoo | stalker72, #amarok | 19:34 |
| a34lkj2348dsf311 | _Roman, you can skip them and install those packages later if you want them | 19:34 |
| euxneks | Stalker72, #amarok | 19:34 |
| Stalker72 | cowbellemoo and euxneks: thx | 19:34 |
| a34lkj2348dsf311 | _Roman, stuff like php, apache, mysql - those can always be installed later | 19:35 |
| _Roman | a34lkj2348dsf311: I want to know if I can go through the setup screens again | 19:35 |
| cowbellemoo | stalker72, for what it's worth, I have the same problem | 19:35 |
| ikonia | a34lkj2348dsf311: you seem to know a lot about ubuntu now | 19:35 |
| DasEi | _Roman: dpkg offers a lot of such stuff, but additional software you simply install with apt | 19:35 |
| ikonia | a34lkj2348dsf311: you didn't know much as peterbye | 19:35 |
| a34lkj2348dsf311 | ok | 19:35 |
| erUSUL | _Roman: use tasksel | 19:35 |
| wiijii | meuserj: hmmm apparently not | 19:35 |
| gavagai | STOP BIOLATING HIS PRIVACY | 19:35 |
| meuserj | wiijii: also, see if you have libpam-smbpass installed. | 19:35 |
| sire | ActionParsnip: ok, so how do i know, when grub is loading from the point that i started my pc and boot CS starts to run? | 19:35 |
| gavagai | lol | 19:35 |
| admin_masu3701 | ??? | 19:35 |
| erUSUL | !tasksel | _Roman | 19:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel | 19:35 |
| wiijii | yeah, I do | 19:36 |
| erUSUL | !info tasksel | _Roman | 19:36 |
| ubottu | _roman: tasksel (source: tasksel): Tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems. In component main, is important. Version 2.73ubuntu11 (intrepid), package size 63 kB, installed size 884 kB | 19:36 |
| Stalker72 | cowbellemoo: It's pretty irritating... Anyways, when I try to join #amarok, it says "Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?". | 19:36 |
| wiijii | get rid? | 19:36 |
| sire | ActionParsnip:typo CS->CD | 19:36 |
| a34lkj2348dsf311 | you don't know as much as peterbye either :) | 19:36 |
| meuserj | wiijii: yeah.. purge | 19:36 |
| Winkie | Stalker72: sounds like you tried to connect to it rather than joining, try typing '/j #amarok' | 19:36 |
| cowbellemoo | Stalker72, it's the #amarok channel here on freenode IRC | 19:36 |
| euxneks | Stalker72, I type "/join #amarok" and I'm in there | 19:36 |
| wiijii | yay! | 19:36 |
| _Roman | Is there a way to go through the network setup screens in ubuntu server (hardy) | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sire:you'll see, press esc for grub menu onscreen | 19:37 |
| Stalker72 | Thanks everyone, it worked! | 19:37 |
| euxneks | cool | 19:37 |
| meuserj | wiijii: awesome. | 19:37 |
| wiijii | meuserj: that did the trick. The error has gone... now I just need to wait and see what else I've broken ;D | 19:37 |
| gnuskool | how do i start draw in openoffice? | 19:37 |
| wiijii | meuserj: Thanks a *lot*, I would never have got that sorted out | 19:37 |
| meuserj | wiijii: no problem | 19:37 |
| a34lkj2348dsf311 | _Roman, I dunno - but I can help you configure any network settings you need for server edition | 19:37 |
| Winkie | oh neat, i'd never seen libpam-smbpass before | 19:37 |
| Winkie | that would have solved my problem about 3 years ago :p | 19:37 |
| wiijii | I may well be back asking esoteric questions after I upgrade to 8.10 tonight... hehe | 19:37 |
| wiijii | How did you find out about that btw? Or was it something you knew about already? | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gnuskool: /usr/bin/oodraw | 19:38 |
| ompaul | and be findable | 19:38 |
| ompaul | woops | 19:38 |

| Bodsda | ikonia, what port does it use? | 19:53 |
| a34lkj2348dsf311 | ikonia, if he establishes a direct connection it will show him the ip in netstat | 19:53 |

| Dominik | Winkie: direct rendering: Yes | 20:02 |
| Dominik | Winkie: they are PS2 mouse and keyboard running on a usb to PS2 adapter (so both keboard and mouse run off of same usb port) does that make a difference? | 20:03 |
| Winkie | Dominik: yeah, the best solution would be to just google for other people experiencing this problem, what drivers are you using? | 20:03 |

| edi_99 | Hi, is something wrong with my alsa settings because there is sound coming through my earphones but otherwise not (picture : http://shrani.si/f/Q/fB/3kicbaN/alsasett.jpg) | 20:50 |
| finalphase | n8tuser Alright well I did it and its not accepting incomming connectiions from remote computers? How can I fix this. I've been at it for about 14 hours now running the same commands cause i'm stumped | 20:50 |

| kiran1 | Hi everyone, Please help im getting this error: libhal_acquire_global_interface_lock, when i open gparted nd not able to install 8.10 | 20:51 |
| matthew | kiran1 are you trying to make a partition with your active drive ? | 20:52 |
| finalphase | nutuser / PriceChild: I have my ports forwarded 5800 / 5900 / 5901 and some others, N8t, I did that and locally it accepts it, but when I try to go to my living room computer to access it, via, http://creeperr.ath.cx:5800 it just says doesn't exist kinda thing. | 20:52 |

| Valori | I just got a new graphics card this week and it works awesome on my system, only thing is when I use it my wireless can barely connect and when it finally does I get like 20% signal strength it says. I normally get 88%. I'm on my onboard graphics card until I can find out why this is happening. If you need anymore info on my pc for fixing this just ask. | 20:52 |
| matthew | You can't use gparted with a mounted drive | 20:52 |
| fosco_ | Out_Cold: cat file1 file2 file3 > file4 | 20:53 |
| Out_Cold | thanks fosco_ will that work for a split tarball as well? | 20:53 |
| fosco_ | never tried | 20:53 |
| Out_Cold | ideally should i suppose | 20:53 |
| genii-around | Out_Cold: Probably not | 20:53 |
| Wipster | hey all, I'm trying to setup my mic to work properly, I can hear my mic through my speakers when I talk so I know its working, I mute the playback of the mic then go to system->prefs->sound and try to set the capture device to ALSA but I get the error that the device is being used by another process, what can I do? | 20:54 |
| Out_Cold | genii-around, any ideas how to re-assemble a split tarball then? | 20:54 |
| kiran1 | matthew i just wanted to install 8.10 but ubiquity wont move after the keyboard settings and when i tried to open gparted i got this error | 20:54 |
| genii-around | Out_Cold: What was used to split it? | 20:54 |
| Out_Cold | split | 20:54 |
| fosco_ | so cat will work | 20:54 |
| sfire | Wipster: try ending all tasks that are using it.. or simply reboot the machine and do it before you do anything else | 20:55 |
| Wipster | sfire, tried logging off and logging in to no avail you recon a reboot? | 20:55 |
| matthew | have you tried the install option at boot or do you try ubuntu with changing anything kiran1 ? | 20:55 |
| matthew | without ** | 20:55 |
| recon | oh, false alarm. | 20:55 |
| NekroJakub | Is there a virtualization channel? I'm wondering just how effective is it... | 20:55 |
| genii-around | Out_Cold: In that case the cat file1 file2 >file3 may work, since the split command does not add extra info the head or tail of each section (as with some other file splitters) | 20:56 |

| RediXe | Trying to get my Epson TM-T88IV printer working. It's a receipt thermal printer. Not really finding any useful info on how to get this going. Any help is appreciated! Thanks :D | 21:05 |
| luke_ | i want to access it from school and other pcs | 21:05 |
| Wipster | well I guess my question is redirected to everyone then :) | 21:05 |
| PriceChild | finalphase: I'm guessing on a hunch its a router issue. | 21:05 |
| matthew | have to tried it locally | 21:05 |
| luke_ | EJ: i want to access it from school and other pcs | 21:05 |
| matthew | on your lan | 21:05 |
| Wipster | sfire, might it be alsa precific, would it be worth asking in their channel? | 21:05 |
| Wipster | *specific | 21:05 |
| EJ | luke_: best option to do then is set up an account with dyndns.org and run a dns updater | 21:06 |
| sfire | Wipster: have you tried alsamix? | 21:06 |
| finalphase | PriceChild: How do I find which 192.168.1.# im on, that could be the issue I swear its 6 | 21:06 |
| PriceChild | finalphase: ifconfig | 21:06 |
| finalphase | PriceChild: ifconfig says 192.168.1.6 | 21:06 |
| PriceChild | finalphase: that then | 21:06 |
| finalphase | PriceChild: Yeah tahts what I checked | 21:06 |
| raevol | does the default ubuntu use flashplugin-nonfee? | 21:06 |
| matthew | finalphase ifconfig | 21:06 |
| EJ | then all you would have to do is connect to : *****.dyndns.org and input your username and password | 21:06 |
| sfire | Wipster: its actually alsamixer ... see if that works | 21:06 |
| finalphase | PriceChild: Let me take a screeny 1 sec | 21:06 |
| PriceChild | raevol: no you have to install it yourself | 21:06 |
| luke_ | EJ: did u say you could access it tho? | 21:06 |
| fosco_ | raevol: not installed by default | 21:06 |
| raevol | PriceChild, is that the package it uses though? or is there a better way? | 21:06 |
| EJ | luke_: yes | 21:06 |
| luke_ | EJ: how, | 21:07 |
| xchatlap | monroecr: perhaps jungledisk | 21:07 |
| EJ | luke_: i just pulled your ip address with a whois from here | 21:07 |
| PriceChild | raevol: pardon? | 21:07 |
| Wipster | sfire, if I tab to recording and set MIC high and go to playback and set it off, in recording it also goes to off | 21:07 |
| luke_ | EJ: and it worked with my ip? | 21:07 |
| EJ | luke_: and ran the vnc viewer | 21:07 |
| raevol | rather, how should i install flash? should i use flashplugin-nonfree or is there a more reliable method? | 21:07 |
| EJ | luke_: yeah | 21:07 |
| matthew | wish I remembered the vnc program I used years back | 21:07 |
| joaopinto | raevol, install the flashplugin-nonfree | 21:07 |
| EJ | matthew: radmin works awsome | 21:08 |
| sfire | matthew: what did it do? I use VNC all the time | 21:08 |
| raevol | oh, and if i am using amd64? i am using flashplugin-nonfree at the moment, but it tends to lock up my browser | 21:08 |
| matthew | raevol sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:08 |

| joaopinto | raevol, it is working fine for me | 21:08 |
| matthew | sfire I joined the navy lol | 21:08 |
| PriceChild | finalphase: I still think its a dodgy router setting not letting connections "loopback"(?) | 21:09 |
| matthew | does vnc use tcp or udp ? | 21:09 |
| Wipster | sfire, I guess they are linked? shouldn't be.. | 21:09 |
| EJ | matthew: tcp i belive | 21:09 |
| joaopinto | matthew, tcp | 21:09 |
| finalphase | PriceChild: Hmm, maybe I'll try a full router reset, ill tell you how it goes in just a minute. | 21:09 |

| matthew | EJ ???? | 21:14 |
| kaffien | or does it have to DL all those packages | 21:14 |
| PriceChild | finalphase: I'm not totally sure... but that doesn't sound clever. | 21:14 |
| finalphase | PriceChild: Which one should I use then, my lan IP or major IP, or localhost | 21:14 |

| PriceChild | walmis: just be careful about using packages outside the ubuntu repositories. | 21:18 |

| joaopinto | odeland, it depends on your requirements | 21:18 |
| matthew | sudo apt-get install envyng | 21:18 |
| matthew | !envyng | 21:18 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 21:18 |
| joaopinto | Dominik, do you get a driver suggested on the "hardware drivers" dialog ? | 21:19 |
| ValentineXX | PriceChild: joaopinto thanks | 21:19 |
| Dominik | matthew: evny broke my display | 21:19 |
| matthew | have you tried different drivers ? | 21:19 |
| robacarp | odeland: for me, I had to though, because my budget was zero. samba is a mature project that works well as a windows server replacement, but it has no quality gui configuration, so you'll spend hours looking @ conf files | 21:20 |
| EJ | matthew: so 2 1gigs sticks of ddr2 and nvidia 9800 for 2 2gig sticks of ddr2 and 2 terabyte external hdds ... ? | 21:20 |
| matthew | nvidia driver 177 doesn't work for me but 173 does | 21:20 |

| robacarp | faria_khan: cat /etc/lsb-release | 21:20 |
| EJ | matthew: :D | 21:20 |

| Tmi | I just copied some files of a CD to my harddrive, and they all became read only ..... can anyone give me the command to make all the folders and files read and write? | 21:21 |
| robacarp | odeland: google is yoru friend, and so is the #samba channel | 21:21 |

| fryguy | NET||abuse: no, you will need to pipe it the output from an ac3 decoder | 22:04 |
| Journeyman | bob_, I personally don't see any reason to upgrade at this point,but I was in here just to find out myself | 22:04 |
| ikonia | facefaceface: 7.04 is not lts | 22:04 |
| Journeyman | also upgradding can some times break stuff | 22:04 |
| facefaceface | ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion | 22:04 |
| NET||abuse | limecat: does ffmpeg have mp3 support out of the "box" | 22:04 |

| facefaceface | Journeyman, looking at a broken system here | 22:04 |
| neuton | ok I will be back later | 22:04 |
| fryguy | Journeyman: upgrading rendered my system completely unusable with no resolution for any of my issues in sight, so I restored a backup | 22:04 |
| arrrghhh | does rsync follow bind mounts? it seems like it is... | 22:04 |
| limecat | NET||abuse: no idea, but i know it can be made to support a ton of stuff | 22:04 |
| limecat | you could also look @ vlc, which DOES, but i dunno about the other codec | 22:05 |
| facefaceface | basically my question is, "I'm 6.06, where should I go?" | 22:05 |
| Journeyman | fryguy, yeah that happened to me when I went from 7.10 to 8.04 had to reinstall | 22:05 |
| ikonia | fryguy: 7.04 is not lts | 22:05 |
| NET||abuse | limecat: the problem with the ffmpeg packages is they support only totally open stuff,, no h.264 and no mp3 | 22:05 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i never said it was, why direct that at me | 22:05 |
| lobosque | whats the easiest way to transfer a file from my ubuntu to a windows XP running in a virtual machine? | 22:05 |
| sfire | NET||abuse: Check out dbpoweramp... it works in linux with wine | 22:05 |
| === ballzee is now known as Sinister | ||
| facefaceface | backup you say? | 22:05 |
| Journeyman | so now I just wait for awhile before upgrading, at this point there arn't any features that I really really want | 22:05 |
| ikonia | fryguy: sorry - that was for facefaceface | 22:05 |
| limecat | NET||abuse: you could always compile from source with support for what you want | 22:05 |
| ikonia | facefaceface: 7.04 is not lts | 22:05 |
| NET||abuse | sfire: ug.. why is there no good native linux app :( | 22:05 |
| arrrghhh | lobosque, easiest? ssh/winscp. best? probably samba. | 22:05 |
| facefaceface | ikonia, I am 6.06.2 LTS, where should I go? 8.04 lTS? | 22:05 |
| NET||abuse | limecat: i could,,, but it's sooo time consuming (: | 22:05 |
| sfire | NET||abuse: nothing wrong with wine (thats probably why) | 22:06 |
| === Sinister is now known as Guest89285 | ||
| ikonia | facefaceface: yes, | 22:06 |
| ikonia | facefaceface: as the doc suggests <quote> upgrade from an LTS release to the next LTS release (for example, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) </quote> | 22:06 |
| facefaceface | ikonia, and should I try to do that in one step? | 22:06 |
| ikonia | facefaceface: follow that guide though | 22:06 |
| fryguy | NET||abuse: there are native linux apps, I just gave you the name of an mp3 encoder | 22:06 |
| limecat | NET||abuse: but installing a package doesnt give you that feeling of relief on hour 6 when problem X is finally solved :D | 22:06 |
| NET||abuse | fryguy: :) yeh, ok. | 22:06 |

| DerArzt | i have a latpop with a built in media card reader anyone know any tricks for how to get a 4gb sd card to mount?? | 22:06 |

| sfire | DerArzt: it should automatically when media is inserted | 22:07 |
| RediXe | Trying to get my Epson TM-T88IV printer working. It's a receipt thermal printer. Not really finding any useful info on how to get this going. Any help is appreciated! Thanks :D | 22:07 |
| DerArzt | 4gb cards sometimes have trouble being recognized | 22:07 |
| fryguy | NET||abuse: you might not care, but the developers and distributors do | 22:07 |
| DerArzt | its a somewhat common problem for windows as well as linux | 22:07 |
| NET||abuse | linxeh: there should be patent ignorant EU mirrors for all this stuff :) | 22:07 |
| izaak | can anyone briefly explain or put me on the path to understanding why on a mac using fdisk (on say the live ubuntu cd) to create new partitions in empty space doesn't affect the partition map properly, i.e. devices don't show up? must have something to do with MBR vs. GPT.... | 22:07 |
| DerArzt | it doesnt show up in parted either | 22:07 |
| linxeh | NET||abuse: and you'll find that its a german company with the patent on the mp3, and they charge a licence on the trademark and compliance checks | 22:08 |
| D3RGPS31 | How can I automatically log in to TTY1? | 22:08 |
| fryguy | izaak: macs use GPT, not standard partitioning tables. fdisk uses standard partitioning tables. you answered your own question | 22:08 |
| mgolisch | icqnumber: yeah fdisk doesnt support gpt, you have to use parted | 22:08 |
| linxeh | NET||abuse: so EU companies can quite easily be sued for trademark infringement | 22:08 |
| mgolisch | ups izaak i mean | 22:08 |
| ikonia | izaak: what do you mean don't show up ? | 22:08 |
| izaak | fryguy: yeah but i don't know what to do | 22:08 |
| sfire | linxeh: that same company produces the worst codec | 22:08 |
| linxeh | NET||abuse: I'm in the EU (well, UK) | 22:08 |
| erUSUL | izaak: i'm not sure fdisk understands the partitions tables used on macs... you should use parted and or gparted | 22:08 |
| sfire | lame is the very best MP3 encoder | 22:08 |
| NET||abuse | linxeh: ah, i didn't actually know it was a german company | 22:08 |
| linxeh | sfire: fraunhoffers is pretty damned good, just not fast. its very very comparable to lame. XING make the worst... | 22:08 |
| sfire | its very bad... their codec doesn't hold a candle to lame | 22:09 |
| === michael___ is now known as DoYouKnow | ||
| izaak | erUSUL: k i'll try parted, i have a feeling it will just do the same thing though | 22:09 |
| sfire | the reason apples itunes encoder blows | 22:09 |
| linxeh | sfire: it does when the options are set correctly, just like LAME sucks when used badly | 22:10 |

| mgolisch | Uplink: whats the problem? | 22:11 |

| erUSUL | izaak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table | 22:11 |
| mgolisch | uvacav: yeah disable the restart in gnome-session-properties | 22:11 |

| Frogging101 | I don't understand something in the swap file command: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/512Mb.swap bs=1M count=512 | 22:52 |
| Frogging101 | what does /dev/zero and /mnt/512Mb.swap signify? | 22:52 |
| uvacav | joebodo: because i want to be able to start it with g-inspector | 22:52 |
| fuxxy_ | How can I install a version of a package older than the one currently available? | 22:52 |
| Schuenemann | ikonia, only 1. And lshw shows one as disabled | 22:52 |
| ikonia | Schuenemann: sounds like it's not being used | 22:52 |
| mgolisch | Frogging101: /dev/zero is a special device that returns zeros, the other one is the output file dd writes count*bs into | 22:53 |

| bigfuzzyjesus | could you msg me | 22:53 |
| rex0r | meshach: I'm running 8.10 but cannot provide you a URL for the docs for them b/c I am reading them off the screen of the ubuntu box, which does not have a network connection atm. | 22:53 |

| Schuenemann | ikonia, is that the default for ubuntu or this kernel version? | 22:54 |
| ikonia | Schuenemann: show me uname -a | 22:54 |

| bigfuzzyjesus | anyone in here have experience with intrepid ibex and thinkpads, could you msg me, I am having a few issues that I didn't have with the last release | 22:54 |
| Frogging101 | mgolisch: so if I were to make the swap file, I would use that command, and after of= i would just put /swap.swap? | 22:54 |

| bigfuzzyjesus | ikonia, well, when i come back from suspend, I cant reconnect to my wifi, which is unsecured so it shouldnt be an issue, and I cant get my middle scroll button to work | 22:58 |

| bigfuzzyjesus | the fdi file wont work, but using xinput does | 22:58 |

| ubottu | jimmio, this is the second option: svgatextmode (source: svgatextmode): enable higher resolution text modes. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.9-20 (intrepid), package size 345 kB, installed size 892 kB | 23:11 |
| === steve{ is now known as nyotek | ||
