| mib_q216db | hey whenever i turn my computer on, i have to navigate to the network connection that i use, type my password in and then it will connect. im on 8.10 | 00:01 |
| storrgie | fryguy: the thing that i guess im most concerned about is that network manager knows the mac of my interfaces... but when i edit the /etc/network/interfaces file i dont know how to put those in... | 00:01 |
| parkerhiggins | is there any way i can choose between gnash and swfdec if i have both installed? | 00:02 |
| whitethunder922 | fryguy: looks like 2.6.27-7 actually did get installed but it wasn't listed in GRUB as an option, any idea why that might be? | 00:02 |
| fryguy | storrgie: there is a manpage for the interfaces file that highlights everything you need, and plenty of documentation from other sources. Keep in mind that debian proper uses the same configuration mechanism so you can tap into that documentation as well | 00:02 |
| fryguy | whitethunder922: no | 00:02 |
| dmulholland | hey, does anyone know if they've managed to hack the changes Apple made to the iTunes 7 DAAP? So that other applications can read music from the share? | 00:03 |

| whitethunder922 | bastid_raZor: ok, so now that the updater thinks it's all updated, how do i get it to try again or revert if it can't upgrade? | 00:03 |
| fryguy | whitethunder922: try dpkg-reconfigure | 00:04 |
| bastid_raZor | whitethunder922; in a terminal run sudo update-grub .. see if it lists the new kernel | 00:04 |
| bastid_raZor | fryguy; fail | 00:04 |
| edju | network manager never recognizes that there is a wireless connection present. I have to run iwconfig essid . . . for it to work. Any advice appreciated. | 00:05 |

| Jeremy93283 | Hi | 00:06 |
| Jeremy93283 | How do I format my SD card in ubuntu as FAT, NOT FAT32/FAT16? | 00:06 |
| fryguy | rootrot: probably easiest to reinstall old version. | 00:06 |

| mib_q216db | hey whenever i turn my computer on, i have to navigate to the network connection that i use,click it, then type my password in and then it will connect. im on 8.10 | 00:07 |

| ghost3 | I have firestarter running and I keep getting request to port 43497 from LOTS of ip address..any ideal what port 43497 is? I googled it with no results | 00:07 |
| fryguy | bastid_raZor: I do know the answer | 00:07 |
| root | this the ubuntu channel | 00:07 |
| ConstantineXVI | ghost3: running a bittorrent client? | 00:07 |
| whitethunder922 | bastid_raZor: i think i discovered the error... looks like 8.10 installed LILO and destroyed GRUB, so reinstalling now... | 00:08 |
| chupy | i need help i compile the alsa driver and know i dont have sound... know my sound card isnt detect how can came back when i have sound please help | 00:08 |

| djalmafilho | how to works my broadcom wireless, i have kernel 2.6.27.4 with b43 and b43legacy module compiled! | 00:08 |
| === root is now known as Guest77234 | ||
| ghost3 | ConstantineXVI not running | 00:08 |
| kdog | !root | root | 00:08 |
| ubottu | root: 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 | 00:08 |
| fryguy | bastid_raZor: that seems to be the general consensus for most hardware related issues that people are having because of the upgrade to 8.10, yes. | 00:08 |
| ghost3 | root im usin | 00:08 |
| kdog | lol | 00:08 |
| ghost3 | root im using ubuntu...thats why im asking if ubuntu is using port 43497 for anything | 00:09 |
| fryguy | bastid_raZor: 8.10 has rendered more than a couple of systems useless or nearly so after the upgrade | 00:09 |
| Guest77234 | if this is the ubuntu channel can anyone tell me if ubuntu supports radeon hd 2400 cause i can't get it to work right on suse 11 kde 3.5 so i was gonna switch to ubuntu | 00:09 |
| chupy | please someone help me | 00:09 |
| chupy | i need help i compile the alsa driver and know i dont have sound... know my sound card isnt detect how can came back when i have sound please help | 00:09 |
| bastid_raZor | fryguy; that i agree with. | 00:09 |
| fryguy | Guest77234: it doesn't seem to support it under 8.10, works on 8.04 however | 00:09 |
| KableKiB | next | 00:09 |
| KableKiB | !next | 00:09 |

| rootrot | how do i check what version of ubuntru im running? | 00:10 |

| something | has anyone gotten the madwifi driver to work on ubuntu 8.10? | 00:10 |
| kdog | rootrot, uname -r | 00:10 |
| erUSUL | !version | rootrot | 00:10 |
| ubottu | rootrot: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 00:10 |

| grendal_prime | gnome blows | 00:11 |

| mib_q216db | hey whenever i turn my computer on, i have to navigate to the network connection that i use, type my password in and then it will connect. im on 8.10 | 00:11 |
| Jeremy93283 | Can you format as FAT in ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| fryguy | grendal_prime: thankfully there are plenty of other options for graphical user interfaces to pick from. Try one of those | 00:12 |
| ConstantineXVI | rootrot: system -> about ubuntu | 00:12 |
| Guest77234 | ty fryguy i do appreciate the advice have a good night | 00:12 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: have gparted installed? | 00:12 |
| temppy | Jeremy93283: sure, just use something like gparted I think | 00:12 |
| Jeremy93283 | Yes I do | 00:12 |
| grendal_prime | i like kde ive been using it for 4 years | 00:12 |
| Jeremy93283 | But they just have fat32/fat16 coming up | 00:12 |
| Aeolien | Jeremy93283: That will work for you then | 00:12 |
| grendal_prime | mostly on pure debian | 00:12 |
| Jeremy93283 | I want FAT | 00:12 |
| ghost3 | ConstantineXVI bittorrent is listing on port 51413.. im getting hit after hit for access to port 43497 by lots of people. | 00:12 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: what do you need just FAT for? | 00:12 |
| temppy | Jeremy93283: I think those are fat, but are you talking about something unusual? | 00:13 |
| fryguy | ghost3: it's possible that you have a dynamically assigned IP and the previous owner of your IP was running bittorrent on that port | 00:13 |
| chupy | noene help me ¬¬ i need help i compile the alsa driver and i dont have sound... know my sound card isnt detect how can came back when i have sound please help | 00:13 |
| something | ConstantineXVI, looks like AR5BXB63 (AR5006x) | 00:13 |
| Aeolien | Jeremy93283: Do you want the original 12-bit version? | 00:13 |
| Jeremy93283 | ConstantineXVI - SD card for my camera | 00:13 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: easiest way would be to have your camera format it | 00:13 |
| Jeremy93283 | My camera doesnt detect my memory card | 00:13 |
| Jeremy93283 | Its an 8GB SDHC card | 00:13 |
| Jeremy93283 | It worked before | 00:13 |
| Jeremy93283 | Now I'm trying to get it to work again | 00:13 |
| Out_Cold | how do i find my cdrom's /dev/ location? | 00:14 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: SDHC has to be FAT32 | 00:14 |
| mgolisch | Jeremy93283: maybe you formated it the wrong way | 00:14 |
| chupy | hey does someone see my messages? | 00:14 |
| mgolisch | some cameras expect the whole device to be formated with a filesystem | 00:14 |
| mgolisch | ie dont have partitions at all | 00:14 |
| ghost3 | fryguy good ideal, I am on dialup...why can't I find info for port 43497 in google and no results for bittorent though? | 00:14 |
| temppy | chupy: I see you | 00:14 |
| Jeremy93283 | mgolisch - Formatted it the wrong way? | 00:14 |
| Out_Cold | yes chupy we all see.... be patient mate. | 00:14 |
| chupy | ok sorry | 00:15 |
| fryguy | ghost3: bittorrent doesn't default to that port. Most bittorrent clients pick a very high port at random | 00:15 |
| Jeremy93283 | ConstantineXVI - OK I formatted the card as FAT32. My Ubuntu detects it, but when I put it in my camera it doesnt detect it, even when I'm trying to format it in camera it doesnt detect it. | 00:15 |
| napoleon | hi guys, i messed around with session properties, changing window-manager to something else, and now I regret it and want to change it back to default. Is there a way to get the default install session properties back? | 00:15 |
| mgolisch | Jeremy93283: did you create partitions on it? | 00:15 |
| === something is now known as BuckWild | ||
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: do you have another machine running something else to check it in? | 00:15 |
| Jeremy93283 | mgolisch - No i just formatted it | 00:16 |
| Jeremy93283 | mgolisch - how do I add partitions? | 00:16 |
| ghost3 | fryguy ok thanks. should I keep blocking that port or open it? :D | 00:16 |
| napoleon | oh, nvm. i just need to delete the .gnome stuff | 00:16 |
| fryguy | ghost3: doesn't matter | 00:16 |
| snolahc | Hello World ! | 00:16 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: formatting it to fat32 puts a partition on it | 00:16 |
| ConstantineXVI | !hello | snolahc | 00:16 |
| ubottu | snolahc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:16 |
| mgolisch | Jeremy93283: usualy you dont have to do that | 00:16 |
| Jeremy93283 | ... | 00:16 |
| mgolisch | windows for example formats the whole thing | 00:16 |
| mgolisch | without creating partitions on it | 00:17 |
| orangutanonstilt | hi room | 00:17 |
| mgolisch | maybe the camera expects it to be like that | 00:17 |
| Lta | snolahc, exit(42); :) | 00:17 |
| mib_q216db | when i boot up i have to navigate to and click on my wlan0 connection then give my password to connect, how o i make it automatic | 00:17 |

| Jeremy93283 | I dont have one... | 00:17 |
| mercutio22 | hi | 00:17 |

| Jeremy93283 | Would that detect the thing? | 00:17 |
| devi | I will try | 00:17 |
| mercutio22 | Am I the only one without animated progress bars? | 00:18 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: probably, if it detects any other usb drive | 00:18 |
| Jeremy93283 | ConstantineXVI: I have a Mac and it detects the card | 00:18 |
| grizlo42 | hi i want to set up my desktop to have different images as wallpaper for each workspace | 00:18 |
| ConstantineXVI | Jeremy93283: okay, card seems fine. have you checked any other cards in that camera? | 00:19 |
| grizlo42 | but i still want icons on the desktop | 00:19 |
| grizlo42 | i can use compiz | 00:19 |
| grizlo42 | is this possible? | 00:19 |
| mgolisch | if it worked before you must have done something different this time | 00:19 |
| matthias | hi, how can i know how my computer feels and if all drivers are okey for the computer ... | 00:19 |
| erUSUL | mib_q216db: install libpam-gnome-keyring | 00:19 |
| Jeremy93283 | ConstantineXVI: I dont have any | 00:19 |
| orangutanonstilt | I've searched the forums but can't find an answer to a problem. My scanner seems to be getting 'stuck at one end of the scan cycle' i.e. it should bring the scan head back to the rest position but it doesn't, it doesn't finish the scan cycle either, the scanner however works fine under redmond, my scanner is a UMAX astra 2100 | 00:20 |
| ConstantineXVI | matthias: does everything work? the drivers are okay | 00:20 |
| Aeolien | matthias: Do you have Ubuntu installed already? | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | Jeremy93283: but the exact same card worked before? | 00:20 |
| caiphn | What torrent client does someone recommend for Ubuntu? I'm running 8.10. | 00:20 |
| erUSUL | caiphn: deluge | 00:20 |
| fryguy | caiphn: i prefer rtorrent | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | deluge! | 00:20 |
| Aeolien | matthias: If not, try out a live cd. If so, simply try using your devices. | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | yeah or rtorrent + screen | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | :) | 00:20 |
| bsusa | hello | 00:20 |

| Jeremy93283 | mgolisch: How do you zero out on ubuntu and how do you call fdisk on it and just save? | 00:28 |
| peary | Meshach, gedit doesn't use the terminal, try nano instead | 00:28 |

| James_UK | booting WinXP | 00:30 |
| Aeolien | James_UK: Are you trying to install xp over ubuntu? | 00:30 |
| mgolisch | Jeremy93283: maybe easier would be to use gparted, delete the existing partition on it, then quit gparted, unplug and plug back in, note the devicename and thenn call sudo mkfs.vfat -I -F32 /dev/yourdevicehere | 00:30 |
| thomas | ubottu and all others: Does a channel exist covering ubuntu-eee? | 00:31 |

| Meshach | fryguy: I tried to save a file in a folder owned by root and it says I don't have permission. | 00:32 |
| fryguy | Meshach: so then save the file as root, or save it to a different directory | 00:32 |
| fryguy | Meshach: if the directory is owned by root you probably shouldn't be putting things there | 00:33 |
| Meshach | fryguy: How do I save the file as root? Also, it has to be in the same folder | 00:33 |
| thomas | @all: Does anybody know a channel covering ubuntu-eee | 00:33 |
| fryguy | Meshach: like i said, you are probably working with the wrong directory because of some misconception you have. to work as root, use sudo or gksu | 00:33 |
| Jeremy93283 | mgolisch: Still nothing... | 00:33 |
| eviking5 | i have a dual boot Win XP / Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. Now I suddenly need to be able to run Kubuntu 8.04 for a work project. I really don't need the Win partition anymore... Is it possible to install Kubuntu 8.04 without touching/ruining my Ubuntu 8.10 partition. And have dual boot Ubu 8.10 / Kubu 8.04 (and maybe a small XP) | 00:33 |
| Meshach | fryguy: How do I use sudo when I'm in the graphical application: gedit? | 00:34 |

| chupy | i need help i compile the alsa driver and i dont have sound... know my sound card isnt detect how can came back when i have sound please help | 00:38 |
| peary | Meshach, glad to hear, just be careful since when you are running a program as root, it is possible to change or damage system files :) | 00:38 |
| kdog | peary, im trying to connect to my friends ubuntu system to help him out | 00:38 |
| rootrot | how do i undo the last update in ubuntu? | 00:38 |
| Meshach | peary: Yes, I am aware of that and am taking precautionary measures. :) | 00:38 |

| fryguy | rootrot: you restore your backup | 00:38 |
| [T]ank | is it possible to have a command that should be run by root be automatically run for any users that logs in? I would want it to be run just after they enter in their user name and password and their session starts up. | 00:39 |
| [T]ank | if so, how can i do that? | 00:39 |
| mwilson_ | hey guys.. this is silly.. but I'm used to sabayon.. | 00:39 |
| rootrot | fryguy: and if you dont have a backup? | 00:39 |
| mwilson_ | why won't it take my password when going into superuse (su command) | 00:40 |
| AkariChan | question; is there a way to back up the system with compression as an image other than the traditional tar method? | 00:40 |
| fryguy | rootrot: out of luck, short of manually grabbing the list of packages, apt-src'ing them and recompiling the previous versions and manually reinstalling them one by one | 00:40 |
| EJ | [T]ank: did ndiswrapper work out for you ? | 00:40 |
| mwilson_ | I don't like typing sudo and entering password every time. | 00:40 |
| Meshach | peary: I try to open the app I just made with python and it's in a folder owned by root and it says permission denied... | 00:40 |
| fryguy | mwilson_: use sudo, not su | 00:40 |
| AkariChan | !backup | 00:40 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 00:40 |
| Meshach | Anyone know what sudo stands for? | 00:40 |
| fryguy | Meshach: super user do | 00:40 |
| [T]ank | EJ: wasnt trying anything with ndiswrapper. all of my devices work very nicely. | 00:40 |
| dimension128 | rootrot: in synaptic you can use the force version option, if the older version of the package in question is still available. | 00:41 |
| Meshach | fryguy: Cool, thanks! | 00:41 |
| mwilson_ | fryguy I'd rather not... lots of commands and having to type the pass over and over. | 00:41 |
| peary | kdog, try internet -> remote desktop viewer, if it's not there install with add/remove | 00:41 |
| fryguy | mwilson_: so then sudo su | 00:41 |
| AkariChan | !cloning | 00:41 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 00:41 |
| mwilson_ | lol.. that will work? | 00:41 |
| peary | Meshach, can you put the script in your home directory or a subdirectory? | 00:41 |
| AkariChan | !sbackup | 00:41 |
| ubottu | sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 00:41 |
| fryguy | mwilson_: of course it will, why wouldn't it | 00:41 |

| csilk | *health | 00:54 |
| csilk | matthias, what exactly do you mean by "health"? | 00:54 |
| panfist | fryguy isnt the answer yes and no? you divide the array into chunks which can be a multiple of your page size, but you still have to put a filesystem on the raid array which can have blocks no bigger than the page size...right? | 00:54 |
| fryguy | panfist: page size has nothing to do with block size on a block device | 00:54 |

| zetheroo | can someone tell me where the ath5k package is? | 00:54 |
| panfist | fryguy every where i read it says that the maximum block size of a file system is the page size of the kernel | 00:54 |

| fryguy | panfist: that is incorrect | 00:55 |
| ldiamond | nice | 00:55 |
| ldiamond | google didnt help on this one | 00:55 |
| panfist | fryguy for example ext2 ext3 and xfs support block size greater than 4k but you must recompile the kernel with a larger page size because the default page size is 4k | 00:55 |

| Belboz99 | hey all, anyone here have experience with the Atheros wireless chipsets on 8.10? | 01:07 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| zetheroo | Belboz99?: I am working on that at the moment | 01:07 |
| Belboz99 | I need some help getting my wife's laptop back on the wireless | 01:08 |
| fryguy | panfist: we use XFS on multi-terrabyte iscsi-backed servers at work, and have not run into a scaling problem that warrants changing the block size from the default. If you feel yours does, then follow my hints for how to do it and go right ahead | 01:08 |
| unfo | zetheroo: please have patience. And never say "anyone?"; instead, repeat your entire question on one long long line. | 01:08 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: cool, maybe we can help each other out a little | 01:08 |
| zetheroo | how do I know if the ath5k module is loaded and working? | 01:08 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: sure | 01:08 |
| GOE | I'd like to know more about 64 bits. Because I've seen on the internet people having problems of incompatibilities when they want to use 32 bits programs | 01:08 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: try a dmesg | tail after loading the module | 01:08 |
| panfist | fryguy well if you say you use the default at work are you running multiterrabyte iscsi backed servers on ubuntu desktop? i doubt it. maybe your kernel already has a larger block size. | 01:08 |
| fryguy | GOE: so ask a question | 01:08 |
| fryguy | panfist: it doesn't | 01:09 |
| panfist | fryguy the issue isnt whether the option should or should not be changed, but you were telling me i had the wrong idea about what the page size was. do i have the wrong idea or not, because you have planted a seed of doubt in my mind now | 01:09 |
| GOE | ok then | 01:09 |
| GOE | I'll ask | 01:09 |
| unfo | GOE: yes. I recommend 32bit Ubuntu, even if you have a 64bit PC. It's simpler. | 01:09 |
| fryguy | panfist: you are right | 01:09 |
| dewente | hey people many thanks for all that answered ! | 01:09 |
| GOE | ok | 01:10 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: http://pastebin.com/m7d43ac05 | 01:10 |
| Odd-rationale | GOE: i'd, too, reccomend using 32bit until your are absolutely conformtable with chroot and stuff like that... | 01:10 |
| DJ_Mario | whats the difference between 64bit and 32bit ubuntu | 01:10 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: that is the output | 01:10 |
| DJ_Mario | other than the processing capabilities | 01:10 |
| GOE | I realize that everybody prefer using 32 than 64 due to compab. | 01:10 |
| Tyrath | has anyone run into this error before: using "DejaVu Sans Mono-16", pixelsize=16.67 file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf | 01:10 |
| matthias | skylarS: where can i find the program after i insrtalled it | 01:10 |
| panfist | fryguy the reason i wanted to experiment with a different block size is when i am transferring over 5GB the throughput is steadily 70MB/s until after 5GB has been transfered then the transfer rate steadily declines until about 30MB/s | 01:11 |
| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u | ||
| fryguy | DJ_Mario: one is compiled using a 32-bit compiler for use on the i386 platform, one is compiled with a 64-bit compile for processors that support the amd64 instruction set (or emt64, in the case of intel chips) | 01:11 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: generally speaking the wireless capabilities do not seem to function as good as in Hardy ... | 01:11 |
| skylarS | matthias, open a terminal and run $iostat | 01:11 |
| DJ_Mario | fryguy: yeah i already knew that | 01:11 |
| fryguy | panfist: disks aren't univeral speeds | 01:11 |
| panfist | fryguy i doubt that it takes 5GB of transfers to max out any kind of buffer effects on the transfer. then again i doubt a different page size will help either | 01:11 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: agreed :( | 01:11 |
| fryguy | panfist: it won't help | 01:11 |
| mellery_ | rhythmboxs internet radio and podcast downloading broke for me after an update, how can I fix it please? | 01:11 |
| matthias | skylarS: no the sysstat ... | 01:12 |
| panfist | fryguy so do you have any idea why i have this repeatable effect of the file transfer slowing down after 5GB? | 01:12 |
| skylarS | matthias, fmi $man iostat iostat is part of sysstat... i don't know what else if anything sysstat has | 01:12 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: when I do lsmod I see ath5k there ... like this : ath5k 106496 0 | 01:12 |
| fryguy | panfist: because the disk isn't a universal speed, or possibly it's buffering a lot and you are running out of ram and/or disk cache. or the file is fragmented | 01:12 |
| ubuntu | hola | 01:12 |
| skylarS | matthias, what exactly are you trying to do again, I just got here | 01:12 |

| andre_pl | I just got my hands on an 8.04 server at racksapce and it cme with a default encoding that is NOT utf8. I've tried everything I can to get rid of it and go back to just otf8 but its not working and postgres will not let me create any utf8 databases as a result. can anyone help? | 01:14 |
| mellery_ | peary: i dont think so, all my music and feeds are still ther | 01:14 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: yeah, I've heard similar | 01:14 |
| cables_malo | DJ_mario: the NDIS was working, but i was on eth0 (cable) | 01:14 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: but aside from that I am on wireless right now .. and its working ... I just don't think its working as good as it could or should be | 01:14 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: can you scan with your card? | 01:14 |
| cables_malo | at my house that is | 01:14 |
| Belboz99 | oh? | 01:14 |
| matthias | skylarS: i want to figure out what is causing so high cpu usage since the movies clips that i am seeing in youtube seems to be like freezing and the picture is out of sync with the sound in youtube ... and everthing else take like for ages to start when i have high cpu if that is the main casue or anything else ... | 01:14 |
| Belboz99 | better than I've got then :/ | 01:14 |
| cables_malo | i cant go there because she always gives up the puss and then i will be "involved" again | 01:14 |
| DJ_Mario | cables_malo: i cant think of anything else. sorry | 01:14 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: yes .. my card was working from the start ... but it was unstable and dropped out frequently | 01:14 |
| Ashex | Does ubuntu use ~/.xinitrc? | 01:15 |
| fryguy | Ashex: no | 01:15 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: last time this laptop had a wifi-connection it was estimating 1/2 hour to transfer 200MB of video :( | 01:15 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: is your wifes card working at all? | 01:15 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: not at all | 01:15 |
| Ashex | fryguy, what does ubuntu use instead? | 01:15 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: it was before the 8.10 upgrade | 01:15 |
| skylarS | matthias, hmm sounds like video configuration issues | 01:15 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: have you made sure that ath5k is not blacklisted? | 01:15 |
| Bling | how install realplayer ? | 01:15 |
| pawan | hi | 01:15 |
| fryguy | Ashex: xinitrc is used from running startx manually. when using a display manager, there are session files located in various spots depending on distro. If you want to use the equivalent of .xinitrc when using a display manager, use .xsession and, in the case of ubuntu, use the session for custom xclient script | 01:16 |
| ardchoille | !realplayer | Bling | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Bling: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 01:16 |

| zetheroo | Belboz99: are you trying to use the default driver and module or the ath5k one? | 01:17 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: every now and then it picks up the other machine | 01:17 |
| matthias | skylarS: yes an installer for nivida and ATI cards | 01:17 |

| Belboz99 | zetheroo: that one is using a Ralink card, the Server / Router that is | 01:18 |
| skylarS | matthias, did you download from adobe or use package-man? | 01:18 |
| zetheroo | Belboz99: in order to use the ath5k module you have to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid ... have you done this? | 01:18 |
| giacomo | launchpad irc? | 01:18 |
| Belboz99 | zetheroo: yeah | 01:18 |

| Dr_willis | Bling, the term 'hack' has gotten to be meaningless to most people - its such a buzzword these days.. Go learn to 'program' is a better idea | 01:24 |
| ardchoille | dr:) | 01:24 |
| skylarS | try2free, probably have to use a google search for your model try: ubuntu model ...maybe cups in the search | 01:24 |
| Flannel | Bling: There's a number of languages you can learn. The best way to start participating is to find some software you're interested (or that you enjoy using, etc) and then see what language it uses, and consider learning that language. A popular language to learn right now (with plenty of documentation) is python, there's two good resources: http://www.python.org/doc/ and http://diveintopython.org/ | 01:24 |

| Dr_willis | woody86, you mean delete existing filesystems on it? and create new ones.. or reformat an existing one? Gparted can do either task with a nice gui. | 01:33 |
| Dr_willis | woody86, or use the mkfs command line tool with the proper optuons | 01:34 |
| skylarS | FloridaGuy, and $rm -r .gnome* should do it ? fryguy ? | 01:34 |
| dns | no no .. | 01:34 |
| skylarS | well from the home dir in question | 01:35 |
| fryguy | skylarS: probably not. there's a lot of directories in your home dir related to gnome (there's .gnome2 in addition to what you mentioned to name one quickly) | 01:35 |
| woody86 | Dr_willis- well, I just want to delete any information on it, and make a new filesystem if I have to | 01:35 |
| FloridaGuy | skylarS, what you just said should uninstall gnome | 01:35 |
| skylarS | fryguy, how to use reg exp to get them all in one line? | 01:35 |
| fryguy | skylarS: you don't | 01:35 |
| skylarS | FloridaGuy, so ls -a in the home dir to find them | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | woody86, it has a filesystem. :) if you want to reformat the filesystem gparted, or mkfs can do that. | 01:36 |
| FloridaGuy | i dont want to remove directory's..i want to uninstall gnome and reinstall it | 01:36 |
| skylarS | FloridaGuy, then I have .gnome, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private which can be removed with rm -r | 01:37 |
| woody86 | Dr_willis- ok, thanks :) | 01:37 |
| WiredGuy | has anyone gotten the madwifi to work with WPA2 in ubuntu 8.10? I tried using the ath5k driver for my laptop but it's super duper unstable and slow and it doesn't have support for the LEDs... | 01:37 |
| irpapabear | test | 01:37 |
| fryguy | FloridaGuy: doing so isn't going to have any effect. the newly installed version will still use your settings in your home directory, and you'll be exactly back to where you started | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | FloridaGuy, 'uninstall/reinstalling' programs will not reset the users settings... | 01:37 |

| skylarS | fryguy, Dr_willis thanks, I always wondered why that was so | 01:37 |

| skylarS | Dr_willis, that's what I was just thinking about ;) | 01:39 |
| seronis | z3ro: that was fixed awhile ago | 01:39 |
| FloridaGuy | Dr_willis, well then whats causeing my gnome to look like ms windows 2000 and windows to over lap one another or over lap the panel | 01:39 |
| fryguy | FloridaGuy: incompatible or inconsistent settings across versions of gnome in your home dir | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | FloridaGuy, as a test.. make a new user.. see if the issue affects them.. if it does NOT affect them.. then its an issue with your Specific users gnome settings.. | 01:40 |
| FloridaGuy | and missing the top of the window where the close (x) is | 01:40 |
| juancarlospaco | delete all hidden files | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | Ive noticed some video glitzes with compiz and the 'top' of the title bar on my laptop. | 01:40 |
| FloridaGuy | Dr_willis, did that lat night | 01:40 |
| z3ro | seronis: so the ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso is fine to use? eg includes the driver (and a recent enough version to not have that bug) | 01:40 |
| fryguy | FloridaGuy: 1. what were the results of doing that 2. why didn't you tell us this already/ | 01:40 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: the missing "x" is due to your window manager (Metacity) not running. and the lack of themes sounds like gnome-settings-daemon isn't running either. | 01:41 |
| wisnut_ | new question: why can i get wlan0 to connect fine through iwconfig but the "network configuration" gui does nothing? | 01:41 |
| fryguy | wisnut_: they use different ways of making a connection, it's very possible that one will work when another doesn't | 01:41 |
| FloridaGuy | ardchoille, where do i fix that | 01:41 |
| fryguy | FloridaGuy: we told you what to do already | 01:41 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: open a terminal and type: metacity & | 01:41 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: see if there are any errors | 01:42 |
| seronis | z3ro: fixed a month ago. that version of the kernel was never in an official repo. it was experimental | 01:42 |
| seronis | z3ro: the livecd uses the patched one | 01:42 |
| n8tuser | wisnut_-> also you can not really get wlan0 to connect with iwconfig, you have to use dhclient or ifup to make the connection | 01:42 |
| pawan | how to hide | 01:42 |
| pawan | desktop icons | 01:42 |
| z3ro | seronis: ok, cool. :) thanks :) | 01:42 |
| wisnut_ | fryguy: thx. . .i put key 2 config into the gui, but couldn't connect. . .once i forced iwconfig to a essid, it asked for keyring access, then connected | 01:42 |

| irpapabear | hello AkariChan | 01:44 |
| AkariChan | Quick Questoin: anyone experienced in using dd /dev/hda and pipe it to gzip? | 01:44 |
| fryguy | AkariChan: ask the question you really want to ask | 01:44 |
| AkariChan | i have many, thats why i want someone to tlak to me in pm | 01:44 |
| musikgoat | pawan: that will hide it from the file browser (nautilus), which i find interesting, shouldn't the desktop support hidden files? | 01:44 |
| AkariChan | don't want to flood the channel | 01:44 |
| jrib | AkariChan: just ask one at a time | 01:44 |
| ardchoille | AkariChan: that will go much faster using PartImage | 01:45 |
| fryguy | well, i was using dd on block devices today at work | 01:45 |
| ardchoille | !sysresccd | AkariChan | 01:45 |
| ubottu | AkariChan: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM. It contains a number of admin tools including gparted and partimage. http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 01:45 |
| AkariChan | ardchoille: it doesn't back up the whole disk | 01:45 |
| ardchoille | AkariChan: It backs up partitions | 01:45 |
| AkariChan | i want to be able to back up the whole /dev/sda block, not just a partition. | 01:45 |
| DanGJavaGeek_ | anyone know of a guide to using ubuntu as a server (file, other) in a windows classroom computer lab? | 01:45 |
| AkariChan | whcih includes the boot block as well | 01:46 |
| ardchoille | AkariChan: you can use PartImage on each partition | 01:46 |
| ka2u | I'm sorry. The problem was irc proxy. | 01:46 |
| Frogzoo | AkariChan: dd if=/dev/sda of=sda.img | 01:46 |
| pawan | how to install compiz | 01:46 |
| AkariChan | ardchoille: i know but it does not restore grub | 01:46 |
| fryguy | pawan: it's already installed | 01:46 |
| matt__ | What is a good distro for running of a flash usb drive? | 01:46 |
| FloridaGuy | ardchoille, on metacity &...it gave [1] 15358..that mean anything | 01:46 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: no idea | 01:46 |
| AkariChan | Frogzoo: exactly. i wa sthinking piping it to gzip | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | DanGJavaGeek_, You may want to clarify its specific tasks.. and how 'in a classroom' differers from say.. any other use of it as a server. :) Samba for fileserving to windows machines, ssh for terminal access, and so forth... | 01:46 |
| fryguy | FloridaGuy: no it doesn't mean anything | 01:46 |
| raDeon | does anybody know how i can switch back and forth from full screen rdesktop on my windows computer to my linux computer? | 01:47 |
| AkariChan | Frogzoo: dd if=/dev/sda | gzip /mnt/mydrive/backup.gz | 01:47 |
| AkariChan | will that work ? | 01:47 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: now try: gnome-settings-daemon | 01:47 |
| Frogzoo | AkariChan: yeah, I think that's legit - maybe throw bs=1000000 in there too for speed | 01:47 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: now try: gnome-settings-daemon & | 01:47 |
| FloridaGuy | s how do i find out if there runing out no and start them | 01:47 |
| AkariChan | I know. but gzip will do pretty well with those padding 0s right? | 01:47 |
| === notboot_ is now known as raccoonworld | ||
| fryguy | AkariChan: dd doesn't support directing the output to standard out, so you can't pipe it to another application | 01:47 |
| millertime_018 | hey... | 01:47 |
| Frogzoo | AkariChan: should do, try it | 01:47 |
| raccoonworld | hi guys | 01:47 |

| === sj_ is now known as id10t | ||
| fryguy | AkariChan: so then your command would work, why are you asking? | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | Frogzoo, i dont think the BS option needs to be that large either.. theres a upper limit to how much of a gain you get for the sizes. | 01:48 |
| millertime_018 | i updated from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.1 and it offered to remove outdated programs/packages | 01:48 |
| Tyrath | does anyone know how I could avoid this error: ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument (not a linux console?) ? | 01:48 |
| millertime_018 | but i said no... | 01:48 |
| millertime_018 | how do i do that now? | 01:48 |
| === d0nets is now known as d0netsFN | ||
| AkariChan | fryguy: i am asking to make sure if it is exactly what i think it will do. | 01:48 |

| ubuntu | #ubuntu.es | 01:48 |

| fryguy | FloridaGuy: try metacity --replace | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | DanGJavaGeek_, Samba, and ssh are trivial to get going.. No idea on the Domain Login./other stuff.. I would check the samba-doc package and the boosk in there.. Ive never done those tasks.. | 01:49 |
| AkariChan | then, to restore the block device , gunzip -dc myfile.gz | dd of=/dev/sda | 01:49 |
| Tyrath | as in... so they open up in console | 01:49 |

| ale_ | ci sono italiani in chatt ??? | 01:50 |
| Tyrath | z3ro: because I wanted the pictures to show up aswell | 01:50 |

| matt__ | z3ro: Thanks! | 01:51 |
| z3ro | matt__: no problem :) | 01:51 |
| z3ro | Tyrath: not sure about that, it might expect a framebuffer console? | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | FloridaGuy: reinstalling would give you a new install of gnome, but that won't help if the problem resides in your gnome settings | 01:52 |
| Tristam | Intrepid apparently doesn't like booting from my clunky old scsi drive. | 01:52 |
| matt__ | z3ro: Ever try anything like that? | 01:52 |
| skylarS | lap, you could purge it with apt if you never want to see it again... or you could just take it out of your boot script.. now where was that pesky boot script? | 01:52 |
| libervisco | Hi, how do I change resolution of console? | 01:52 |
| Tyrath | z3ro: is bash not a framebuffer shell? | 01:52 |

| lap | skylarS: where it is ? | 01:52 |
| schnoowork | anyone know why my lamp setup might not be recognising PHP files if i have libapache2-mod-php5 installed ? | 01:52 |
| z3ro | matt__: nope, I haven't tried any of those before... I don't really use usb drive distros. | 01:52 |
| libervisco | oh wait I remember now | 01:53 |
| Frogzoo | libervisco: /etc/default/console-setup | 01:53 |
| fryguy | schnoowork: did you restart apache after installing mod-php | 01:53 |
| z3ro | matt__: but it might at least give you a comparison of a few of them. | 01:53 |
| libervisco | Frogzoo: in grub actually, but yeah that too :) | 01:53 |
| libervisco | thanks | 01:53 |
| schnoowork | fryguy, yes. It just tries to download the php file like it wasnt actually included into apache :\ | 01:53 |
| z3ro | Tyrath: if you're running a terminal inside X, then no. if you're on one of the virtual consoles, then maybe (depends if it's setup or not) | 01:53 |
| schnoowork | but a2enmod says Module php5 already enabled :\ | 01:53 |
| lap | skylarS: ? | 01:53 |
| skylarS | lap, let me try to solve this problem... I'm thinking.... | 01:54 |
| musikgoat | schnoowork: is php5 installed? | 01:54 |
| z3ro | Tyrath: usually it's some kernel boot options to enable FB console. | 01:54 |
| ardchoille | schnoowork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 01:54 |
| Tyrath | z3ro: I think fbi is supposed to work under X | 01:54 |
| basy | hi i'm looking for available repositary in slovakia. i used ftp.tuke.sk but there is only /debian from now ... | 01:54 |

| schnoowork | ahh i see they use tasksel to install now :\ | 01:55 |
| schnoowork | i just did it the old fashion way | 01:55 |
| ardchoille | schnoowork: so did I and mine works | 01:55 |
| Tyrath | z3ro: I saw somewhere that someone edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and set vga=<specific dimension> and it worked. But when I tried nothing happened. Is that because I have to restart to get the changed to take effect? | 01:55 |

| [T]ank | I think that I have found how to remove the language selection in the boot menu from the live cd. I think it is in the file named bootlogo. I opened this in a hex editor, but I do not know much about editing hex. anyone able to tell me what I need to change to make the live cd boot up with english as the default language instead of having to make the selection? | 01:56 |
| irpapabear | your quite good at this stuff fryguy! | 01:56 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: any tips with editing the boot file because I'm scared I'll screw something up. If I'm not wrong a single # is executed still but a double ## indicates something is commented out | 01:56 |
| skylarS | what file says what daemons to start at boot? | 01:56 |
| fryguy | irpapabear: lol, i am not really | 01:56 |

| irpapabear | is impressed...and taking notes | 01:57 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: no, any number of #s is a comment. | 01:57 |

| Tyrath | Flannel: ah k. so if i wish to add vga resolution i don't comment it out? | 01:58 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: so, near the top, you'll find a defoptions line, it's commented, and probably has quiet and splash in it right now. You want to add it to that. | 01:58 |
| fryguy | skylarS: probably in /etc/init.d, ubuntu uses sysV style init, not bsd-style | 01:58 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: You want to add it permanently, correct? | 01:59 |
| Tyrath | Flannel: so defoptions=vga=<dimensions>x<dimension>? | 01:59 |
| Flannel | fryguy: We use upstart now, although are still more or less sysV compatable | 01:59 |

| FloridaGuy | right now..im in kde 4.1... | 02:01 |

| skylarS | ethana21, I'm doing it for the learning experience | 02:02 |
| lexvegas | yes | 02:02 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: What vga=ask does is asks you for your vga parameter each boot. You'll be able to try a few, and then once you find one that works well for you, you can permanently make it use that. | 02:02 |
| lexvegas | what does it mean | 02:02 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: I saw someone somewhere doing vga=<number>x<number> and apparently it worked | 02:02 |
| musikgoat | lexvegas: pipe takes the output of the beginning and sends it to the command after the pipe | 02:02 |
| bulux | hi, i'm considering to acquire a PCMCIA device GlobeTrotter Fusion+HSDPA, is it supported by ubuntu 8.04? | 02:02 |
| ethana21 | bulux: is there a particular reason you'd like to use 8.04 instead of 8.10? | 02:03 |
| fryguy | Flannel: the example jobs in upstart run the same scripts as old system-v init packages on the same events, using the system-v compatibility tools to generate runlevel events. <-- It uses system v init scripts, therefore it behaves in a systemv style, closer to the ATT system V specification, and further from true posix. right? | 02:03 |
| Tyrath | Flannel: couldn't I just find the recommended setting for fbi somewhere? | 02:03 |

| n8tuser | Tyrath try vga=791 | 02:03 |
| lexvegas | Okay, how do you type it into terminal? | 02:04 |
| matt__ | Anyone have any experience with Slax? Does it have some sort of package management? | 02:04 |
| ethana21 | theGZA: I'd do a clean install | 02:04 |
| skylarS | could lap just remove a line from a file in /etc/init.d so that pulse audio will not start on boot? | 02:04 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: do you use fbi? | 02:04 |
| bulux | ethana21: the LTS version | 02:04 |
| musikgoat | lexvegas: on most keyboards it looks like a colon but longer marks, and its above the \ | 02:04 |
| ethana21 | theGZA: I think the oldest thing you can dist-upgrade from is like... | 02:04 |
| FloridaGuy | isent there one meta package that removes it | 02:04 |
| ethana21 | ohhh, LTS to LTS? | 02:04 |
| theGZA | ethana21: Problem is... I have 3 main partitions.. 1 for windows, 1 for ubuntu ( ext 3 ) and the other is for.. boot or something | 02:04 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484&highlight=kernel+booting+parameters | 02:04 |
| musikgoat | lexvegas: shift + \ | 02:04 |
| ethana21 | bulux: you should be able to just run dist-upgrade in the command line | 02:04 |
| lexvegas | ok | 02:04 |
| lexvegas | thanks alot | 02:04 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: ty - looking now | 02:04 |
| ethana21 | or upgrade-manager -d or something | 02:04 |
| musikgoat | lexvegas: yw | 02:04 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | bulux | 02:05 |
| ubottu | bulux: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:05 |

| luke__ | whats up people | 02:05 |
| ethana21 | luke__: we are very busy chilling. | 02:05 |
| ethana21 | just listening to some rap, editing some images in the G-PIMP | 02:06 |
| FloridaGuy | !remove gnome | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about remove gnome | 02:06 |
| bulux | ethana21: yes, but i need internet connection, so i'm thinking to acquire the GlobeTrotter Fusion+HSDPA, but i have doubt about the 8.04 support, can you tell me? | 02:06 |
| skylarS | FloridaGuy, did you try th posited solution? | 02:06 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Framebuffer scroll down to vesafb section | 02:06 |
| nickrud | !purekde | 02:06 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 02:06 |
| ethana21 | I can't, but 8.10 is a lot more likely to support it than 8.04 | 02:06 |
| nickrud | FloridaGuy, ^^ | 02:06 |
| bluechaos1986 | hi, my wireless internet keeps getting d/ced. could anyone help me out? i have a d-link ar5413 | 02:07 |
| FloridaGuy | skylarS, right now i would rather use kde.....i more a kde person | 02:07 |
| ludwig | any chance that anyone has experience setting up two monitors with different resolution? | 02:08 |
| Ajuna | Does anyone use KDE (Kubuntu)? I installed the kscreensaver package but I can't find the settings for it anywhere in KDE | 02:08 |
| nickrud | FloridaGuy, no need to remove gnome, just log into the kde desktop | 02:08 |
| n8tuser | bluechaos1986-> maybe position your antenna differently? | 02:08 |
| fryguy | ludwig: all of my attempts to do this with 8.10 have failed, I would recommend going back to 8.04, which seems to have better support for this (at least given my hardware configuration) | 02:08 |
| Ajuna | I'm using 4.1 | 02:08 |
| Dominik | Do I need drivers for XFree86 or X.Org?\ | 02:08 |
| fryguy | Dominik: X.org | 02:08 |
| FloridaGuy | nickrud, i want to remove it | 02:08 |
| skylarS | where would: /etc/inittab be in ubuntu? | 02:08 |
| Dominik | fryguy: thanks | 02:08 |
| nickrud | Dominik, all drivers are included in Xorg, except for the binary ones from ati and nvidia; those are accessible through system->admin->hardware drivers | 02:09 |
| nickrud | !purekde | FloridaGuy | 02:09 |
| ubottu | FloridaGuy: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 02:09 |
| bluechaos1986 | yeah i did that, but on windows xp it stays connected | 02:09 |
| bulux | ethana21: thank you for your comments, i really appreciate it | 02:09 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: I am trying to install Radeon 9000 driver from ATI for a Mobility Radeon 9000 card, I read that that driver works fine for that card under windowz I hope I get the same luck under linux | 02:11 |
| pawan | hi | 02:11 |
| Out_Cold | can someone help me figure out how come i get this input/output error with dd? http://pastebin.com/m125c6cbd | 02:11 |
| nickrud | Dominik314, try using the system->admin->hardware manager version before trying to install the one you download from ati. The provided one is much easier to install | 02:11 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: that doesn't suggest anything | 02:12 |
| pawan | i am getting firex updated needs to restart browser every time i start my browser | 02:12 |
| tomy | whiteline | 02:12 |
| tomy | hi | 02:12 |
| tomy | are u here | 02:12 |
| tomy | ? | 02:12 |
| tomy | can someone help me | 02:13 |
| nickrud | Dominik314, ohh, 9000, that one has decent support from the xorg driver. 3d and all, iirc | 02:13 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: and the open source driver for ATI just don'st cut it, I have 64 megs of dedicated graphics and I better NOT be lagging when I scroll through webpages, if I can't get my graphics supported I can't get Ubuntu supported, which would make me cry | 02:13 |
| tomy | help | 02:13 |
| fryguy | !ask | tomy | 02:13 |
| ubottu | tomy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:13 |
| Out_Cold | !ask | tomy | 02:13 |
| tomy | ok | 02:13 |
| nickrud | Dominik314, I have a 8800gt, and it lags in firefox anyway. Everything else is fine | 02:13 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: you mean the one that is used by default? if so no its not decent, if it is not the one that Ubuntu installed itself, how do I get it? | 02:13 |
| tomy | jow to remove ubuntu | 02:13 |
| tomy | how to remove ubuntu | 02:14 |
| tomy | ? | 02:14 |
| fryguy | tomy: repartition your machine, remove the partitions for ubuntu, put windows installation media in, get to recovery console and type "fixmbr" | 02:14 |
| Out_Cold | tomy, why are you trying to remove it? | 02:14 |
| pawan | how to install opera | 02:14 |
| tomy | i will reinstall it in windows | 02:14 |
| KyTiX | lol I love how people are asking questions in the 1st person lol. | 02:14 |
| fryguy | pawan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | Out_Cold, its reached the end of the disk.. its done.. it then exits with that message.. | 02:15 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: that is unacceptable! I just can't belive that linux would have these problems, but I am told it is the fault of the driver, not linux | 02:15 |
| Out_Cold | follow fryguy's help | 02:15 |
| nickrud | Dominik314, that's the one. | 02:15 |
| tomy | where do i type fixmbr | 02:15 |
| ethana21 | KyTiX: How else would they ask them? | 02:15 |
| KyTiX | in your boot up cmd | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | Out_Cold, if you use the BS=XXXXX option. it will copy much faster also. | 02:15 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_willis, with the input/output error as well though? | 02:15 |
| KyTiX | you might need your windows cd? | 02:15 |
| tomy | on the teminal? | 02:15 |
| KyTiX | no | 02:15 |
| Out_Cold | what would be the XXX's? | 02:15 |
| nickrud | Dominik314, that's an easy thing to get confused about. Linux is the kernel: everything else is applications. X is an application. | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | Out_Cold, its reading till it cant read no more. :) basicially.. 4013539328 bytes (4.0 GB) copied | 02:15 |
| tomy | i do but it aways says bootmanager missing | 02:16 |
| fryguy | tomy: like i said, put your windows installation media in, get a recovery console, and type it there | 02:16 |
| tomy | wat recory console | 02:16 |
| KyTiX | ^^ yeah. | 02:16 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_willis, but i only get 3.5 gb out of it.. | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis | Out_Cold, some block size ##. checn the dd man page.. normally its like 1024, or 2048 or something. | 02:16 |
| fryguy | tomy: the one on your windows installation media | 02:16 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: so is it the xserver or the drivers fault? | 02:16 |
| tomy | do i do it right now or resart my computer | 02:16 |
| KyTiX | tomy --> do you have your windows cds? that you used to install windows? | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis | Out_Cold, I copy dvd's that way all the time. and never have issues with them. | 02:16 |
| Dominik314 | nickrud: eitherway if I can't fix it it means no Ubuntu on this mashine, and id cry | 02:16 |
| tomy | yes | 02:16 |
| tomy | windows vista | 02:17 |
| nickrud | Dominik314, the driver is part of Xorg. that's why it's package name is xserver-xorg-video-ati | 02:17 |
| Out_Cold | copy dvd movies? like past restrictions? | 02:17 |
| fryguy | tomy: like i said, put your windows installation media in, get a recovery console, and type it there | 02:17 |
| KyTiX | tomy --> boot from them, then hit r after it loads, then typ fixmbr there | 02:17 |
| Baversjo | Hello! I'm having a problem with GRUB, I cannot boot XP up. Here is my installation order (did it all in one go); Vista -> XP -> Ubuntu Desktop. After that I repaired Vista using the DVD so I could boot it up. I'm now able to boot Ubuntu and Vista but not XP. I can see the XP-partition in the filsystem as well as the vista partition. How can I boot XP using GRUB? I'm also using KGRUBEditor | 02:17 |
| tomy | on cd | 02:17 |
| tomy | or ubuntu | 02:17 |
| fryguy | tomy: on the cd | 02:18 |
| Dominik | nickrud: so is there anything I can try before I try to forcefully jam a driver in there that will probabily not work | 02:18 |
| gustavo | Olá | 02:18 |
| KyTiX | tomy -> once your boot up your windows install cd's you can go to the recovery terminal from there. Then you type fixmbr there. simple as pie. | 02:19 |
| nickrud | Dominik, there's a paper floating around about optimizing those older cards, I've been googling but haven't run across it yet | 02:19 |
| gustavo | essa lista é internacional? | 02:19 |
| Arthemax | hi | 02:19 |
| tomy | wats that mean? | 02:19 |
| gustavo | tem algum brazuca na área? | 02:19 |
| tomy | ok | 02:19 |
| tomy | ganna restart my computer | 02:19 |
| tomy | ? | 02:19 |
| KyTiX | yes | 02:19 |
| Flannel | !br | gustavo | 02:19 |
| ubottu | gustavo: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 02:19 |
| Arthemax | i installed ubuntu a couple of days ago, but when I logged in today, I'm suddenly not sudo anymore :( | 02:19 |
| KyTiX | with windows cd's in | 02:19 |
| gustavo | valeu | 02:20 |
| ethana21 | Arthemax: you mean you're not in the sudoers group? | 02:20 |
| Flannel | Arthemax: What output do you get from the `groups` command? | 02:20 |
| ethana21 | It won't let your user use sudo? | 02:20 |
| caiphn | I just posted a problem I have to the ubuntuforums website. Does anyone know if i'll receive a response via email automatically when a reply occurs or if I have to change a setting? | 02:20 |
| fryguy | caiphn: why not just go and review your settings and see? | 02:20 |
| ethana21 | caiphn: make sure you're subscribed to the thread you posted | 02:20 |
| Flannel | caiphn: #ubuntuforums is the place to ask | 02:20 |
| Arthemax | magne adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare cedega | 02:20 |
| KyTiX | caiphn: agree with fryguy :) | 02:20 |
| naphelge | isn't xubuntu-desktop available in the 8.10 repos? i don't see it | 02:21 |
| Flannel | Arthemax: Correct. You're not in the admin group. | 02:21 |
| boog | Hi, is anyone available to help me atm? | 02:21 |
| fryguy | !ask | boog | 02:21 |
| boog | Hi is anyone available to help me atm? | 02:21 |

After that I repaired Vista using the DVD so I could boot it up. I'm now able to boot Ubuntu and Vista but not XP. I can see the XP-partition in the filsystem as well as the vista partition. How can I boot XP using GRUB? I'm also using KGRUBEditor. (Sorry for doublepost) | 02:21 |
| Arthemax | Flannel: but i was yesterday. | 02:21 |
| Tyrath | alright thanks heaps people fbgs now works!!!! | 02:21 |
| boog | Im going to blast my laptop and i was wondering if there is a way to save all my configuration and settings so i can just paste it back to my new ubuntu | 02:22 |
| Tyrath | infact fbi as a whole now works | 02:22 |
| naphelge | ok i just installed ubuntu & aptitude search xubuntu-desktop came up with nuthing... hrmmm i see kubuntu-desktop nps | 02:22 |
| Flannel | Arthemax: Do you have any other users? Were you playing with anything group related? with cedega? | 02:22 |
| Tyrath | vga=791 fixed it perfectly | 02:22 |
| KyTiX | Baversjo -> so you have partioned your hd 3 times correct? | 02:22 |
| Flannel | naphelge: You need to update. sudo apt-get update | 02:22 |
| caiphn | I'm not sure what the name of that particular option is. | 02:22 |
| fryguy | boog: backup your /home directory, that contains all of your user settings for the applications that you run | 02:22 |
| Baversjo | KyTiX: Yes | 02:22 |
| Tyrath | the only setback is for some weird reason when I boot up the ubuntu progress bar and everything is shifted over to the right hand side of the screen. is that suppose to happen? | 02:22 |
| naphelge | Flannel.. okies i haven't done update/upgrade yet | 02:22 |
| boog | fryguy, will it also save the config for cf? \ | 02:22 |
| Tyrath | - or does that just happen on the first boot? | 02:22 |
| naphelge | thanx | 02:22 |
| KyTiX | Baver -> what does it say when you try to start xp? or is it even showing up? | 02:23 |
| fryguy | boog: cf? | 02:23 |
| kthef | I always backup my home, etc, folders | 02:23 |
| nickrud | Baversjo, first thing I'd do is clone the vista boot stanza in grub, but point it at the xp partition (hdx,x) | 02:23 |
| Flannel | naphelge: when you update, you'll get the list of packages from the internet. Right now, you don't know about them. | 02:23 |
| boog | fryguy, compiz fusion? | 02:23 |
| Arthemax | No other users. I did look a bit in the users and groups options, but i'm quite sure i didn't edit anything there. | 02:23 |
| fryguy | boog: yes | 02:23 |
| pogztimz | i plugged a 100GB Mass Storage on Ubuntu 8.04, how can make use of it? i,m planning to share it with the network? | 02:23 |
| Baversjo | KyTiX: I don't get it shown in GRUB at all | 02:23 |
| boog | fryguy, and xmms? | 02:23 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> your monitor has an adjustments itself, put them in auto mode | 02:23 |
| fryguy | boog: yes, all of the applications you use, the settings are stored in your home directory | 02:23 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: how do I do that? | 02:23 |
| KyTiX | Baversjo -> let me check something first 1 sec. | 02:23 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> press menu ? | 02:23 |
| boog | fryguy, ty so much, just one more question , how can i view my saved links of websites? | 02:24 |
| * Tyrath doesn't understand | 02:24 | |
| Flannel | Arthemax: Apparently you've removed yourself from the admin group. But this is fixable. Reboot to the recovery console (hit escape to see the grub menu, choose recovery console) then adduser username admin (where "username" is the username of your user) then `init 2` will get you to a regular GUI boot | 02:24 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath then pull out the manual for your monitor | 02:24 |
| fryguy | boog: there should be a bookmarks file in ~/.mozilla somewhere | 02:24 |
| pogztimz | <Flannel> hi, i plugged a 100GB Mass Storage on Ubuntu 8.04, how can make use of it? i,m planning to share it with the network? | 02:24 |
| Arthemax | Flannel: Ok. Thank you :) | 02:24 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: you're talking using the xserver yeah? | 02:24 |
| Baversjo | nickrud: Vista is (hd0,0), how would i clone it? | 02:24 |
| Dominik | is there an application that clears out the memory? for example when I close tabs in firefox memory doesn't become available imidiatly | 02:24 |
| fryguy | Dominik: the linux kernel will allocate memory as is necessary | 02:25 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> you pulled out the monitor manual yeah? | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik, linux will clear it out when its needed... | 02:25 |
| boog | fryguy, well thankyou alot tho, | 02:25 |
| bulux | anyone can direct me or tell me how to set up GT Fusion+HSDPA PCMCIA modem in ubuntu 8.04? | 02:25 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: you mean man monitor? | 02:25 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: apparently there's no manual entry for monitor | 02:26 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> nope, a hard copy , look into how you configure it, so it can auto adjust | 02:26 |
| KyTiX | Baversjo -> have you tried editing your menu.lst? | 02:26 |
| think_linux | hello....how do i update ubuntu without restarting every time?? | 02:26 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: where do I find that? | 02:26 |
| fryguy | think_linux: the only time a restart is required is when a new kernel or kernel modules are installed. This is an uncommon occurrent | 02:26 |
| fryguy | occurence* | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | think_linux, reboots are only needed to apply kernel updates. which are not 'everytime' : | 02:26 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: oh wait don't worry I just found it | 02:26 |
| ardchoille | When I installed the nvidia drivers a month ago using the Hardware Drivers tool, it made my tty's all blank. I now have a new machine and want the nvidia drivers. Has this been fixed yet? | 02:27 |
| think_linux | ok i see! | 02:27 |
| think_linux | :) | 02:27 |
| tomy | a | 02:27 |
| tomy | it dosent work | 02:27 |
| Dominik | Dr_willis: fryguy: this is what I don't get, I have two mashines running Ubuntu, the first is using 400 megs of memory but only running FF3 with three tabs, Pidgin, and Htop, the second is running FF3 with 20 tabs, Pidgin, Htop, Terminal but only uses 320 megs of ram, how is that possible? the mashine that is using only 320 megs has 1 gig installed so it wouldn't have a problem with more, but the mashine with 400 megs only has 469 megs | 02:27 |
| pogztimz | i plugged a 100GB Mass Storage on Ubuntu 8.04, but i cant see it? | 02:27 |
| pogztimz | anyone pls | 02:27 |
| tomy | can i just make a windows boot disc | 02:27 |
| KyTiX | ardchoille: try installing from command line this time. | 02:27 |
| Baversjo | KyTiX: No. I have no experience in this area :P I'm trying to use the GRUB editor but when I create a new entire the partition doesn't show up in the suggestions | 02:27 |
| fryguy | Dominik: different usage patterns yield different amounts of ram usage | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik, unused ram - gets used as cache.. and released when its needed.. dont worry about the ram ussage.. thats your 'windows training' kicking in. :) | 02:27 |
| ardchoille | KyTiX: that does the same thing. I think the problem is with the driver itself | 02:28 |
| tomy | how can i removw ubuntu | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik, you rarely hear linux users worry/talk about tweaking their ram ussage | 02:28 |
| Dominik | fryguy: Dr_willis: sketchy... | 02:28 |
| fryguy | tomy: what is wrong with the directions you were previously given | 02:28 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: nope the help files just say to use the applet | 02:28 |
| tomy | it dosent work | 02:28 |
| pawan | firefox error message ur browser needs to be restarted every time | 02:28 |
| Kudi | Can someone help me with This last question for CIS?: Explain the naming conventions used to identify Internet host name computers | 02:28 |
| fryguy | tomy: what didn't work about it | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik, time to google./read up on memory ussage in linux I guess.. its not an issue. | 02:28 |
| Dominik | Dr_willis: I had to tweak my swapiness : P | 02:29 |
| Flannel | !doesntwork | tomy | 02:29 |
| ubottu | tomy: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 02:29 |
| KyTiX | Baversjo: Boot up in grub and pick edit settings and see if you can add windows. | 02:29 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: but the thing is I don't know where the applet it | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik, i dont even touch swap that i notice.. :) | 02:29 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> look for button called menu on your monitor, look in the back, front, underneath, top, where ever | 02:29 |
| nickrud | Baversjo, was away for a bit; did you get an answer? | 02:29 |
| Baversjo | KyTiX: Ok brb :) | 02:29 |
| tomy | it | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | Oh wait im using 50K of swap now! egads! reboot! | 02:29 |
| KyTiX | ardchoille -> Whats the exact video card you have? | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:29 |
| fryguy | Kudi: DNS recursive search through domains, blah blah blah. not going to do your homework for you, but that should get you started | 02:29 |
| Kudi | an someone help me with This last question for CIS?: Explain the naming conventions used to identify Internet host name computers | 02:29 |
| pogztimz | anyone pls tell me how to acces the 100GB i just pluggen in the usb? | 02:29 |
| ardchoille | KyTiX: nvidia GeForce 6200 | 02:30 |
| fryguy | pogztimz: probably in /media | 02:30 |
| Flannel | Kudi: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks | 02:30 |
| Baversjo | nickrud: Not sure, but I'm going to try to add it in the grub loader, BRB :) | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | pogztimz, mount it.. access it.. check dmesg to see where its at... | 02:30 |
| think_linux | kudi : is that a test question? lol | 02:30 |
| Ajuna | Does ubuntu compile their kernels with the high memory option for 32-bit limitation on 3GB of RAM? | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | pogztimz, check places -> computer -> to see if its there | 02:30 |
| KyTiX | ardchoille: is it like a XXX edition or something? | 02:30 |
| ardchoille | KyTiX: I think it's nvidia-glx-177 | 02:30 |
| Flannel | Ajuna: Only the server kernel has PAE | 02:30 |
| nickrud | Baversjo, before you do, maybe we can identify what partition you should point at | 02:30 |
| Kudi | lol no homework | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | pogztimz, if its ntfs filesystem. you may need to install/run the ntfs-config tool to fully access it. | 02:30 |
| pogztimz | <dr.Willis> what commands should i type? | 02:30 |
| n8tuser | Ajuna-> can you please google for why linux is limited to 3gig ram..there are lots of articles on this | 02:30 |
| Ajuna | So is it worth going 64-bit or is it too much a headache? | 02:30 |
| think_linux | kudi : what class? | 02:31 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: I can't find it but don't worry about it. I'll fix this up sometime later | 02:31 |
| fryguy | think_linux: computer information systems 101 | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis | Ajuna, ive had no issues with 64bit so far.. :) | 02:31 |
| Tyrath | would anyone know if there's a way to view formatted word documents in shell? | 02:31 |
| ardchoille | KyTiX: the drivers worked fine i Dapper, Edgy and Feisty if that helps | 02:31 |
| Kudi | concepts of inforsystems | 02:31 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> look around your monitor, its a physical button or switch, maybe next to on/off | 02:31 |
| Tyrath | like if I can view pdf's there's a good chance there's a way to view word docs aswell | 02:31 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: there isn't, a terminal can only display text | 02:31 |
| KyTiX | ardchoille -> what version are you running? | 02:31 |
| Flannel | Kudi: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:31 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: well, a terminal emulator. Some consoles have higher levels of graphics support (via things like framebuffers). | 02:32 |
| ardchoille | KyTiX: no nvidia drivers installed on this machine yet, was waiting for that bug to be fixed | 02:32 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: but then how come I can view pdf's all formatted and everything using fbgs in shell? | 02:32 |
| KyTiX | ardchoille -> what version of ubuntu are you running? | 02:32 |
| ardchoille | KyTiX: Oh, sorry, Ubuntu 8.10 | 02:33 |
| intangir | obama sucks | 02:33 |
| Dominik | intangir: off-topic | 02:33 |
| Ajuna | so if you upgrade version of ubuntu with seperate / and /home partitions? Is there anything special I have to do during the install to avoid wiping out my user data? | 02:33 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: actually if there was a simple way to view pictures and text that would be ideal | 02:33 |
| intangir | Dominik: hehe its a test | 02:33 |
| Dominik | intagir: ? | 02:33 |
| fryguy | Ajuna: no | 02:33 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: using antiword does something funny with the tables and it aggrivates me when I go to edit files after they've been reformated by antiword | 02:33 |
| Flannel | Ajuna: If you're upgrading, that data wont be overwritten anyway. If you're reinstalling, just make sure you mark home as being used as home, but not formatted. | 02:33 |
| intangir | Ajuna: just dont format it | 02:33 |
| Appl3Kork | is there a way to install from an .rpm without using Alien? I'm trying to install the network adapters for my laptop, that are on a USB Drive? | 02:34 |
| intangir | Ajuna: what Flannel said | 02:34 |
| === cakey is now known as left4ded | ||
| === left4ded is now known as cakey|left4ded | ||
| Ajuna | okay thanks | 02:34 |
| Appl3Kork | so I can't really connect to the internet to get alien | 02:34 |
| giacomo | heyyy | 02:34 |
| Ajuna | I'm reinstalling | 02:34 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: ie, if I antiword myfile.doc | vim - it puts weird lines and things everywhere and doesn't show pictures | 02:34 |
| Flannel | Appl3Kork: You can sneakernet it, download the deb to your thumbdrive | 02:34 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: I understand that vim won't show pictures anyway | 02:34 |
| giacomo | do you know how to solve "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" ? | 02:34 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: nor tables | 02:35 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: well, command line terminals aren't meant/designed for displaying graphics, so you are going to get poor results in general | 02:35 |
| Baversjo | Ok Guys I did not get far, how can I add windows as you said in GRUB boot loader? | 02:35 |
| nickrud | Baversjo, what partition is the xp? | 02:35 |
| ardchoille | Flannel: sneakernet, hehe, first I 've heard that term for that :) | 02:35 |
| Baversjo | nickrud: Number 3 | 02:36 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: fair enough, fbgs doesn't do a bad job of formatting pdf's even tho the quality is a little less - which I don't mind | 02:36 |
| Ajuna | So is my /home partition affected at all by switching from 32-bit to 64-bit reinstall of 8.10? | 02:36 |
| * nickrud is feeling really old right now, he remembers when sneakernet was the only net | 02:36 | |
| nickrud | Baversjo, on the first drive? | 02:36 |
| fryguy | Ajuna: probably not (mine is/was, but for different reasons) | 02:36 |
| Ajuna | Okay thanks fry | 02:36 |
| Tyrath | hey, is it just me or does ubuntu do a great job of rendering DVDs - or is that just because I've updated to a good graphic driver? | 02:36 |
| Baversjo | nickrud: Not sure how i can get that in Ubuntu, but I know It's three. And yes, the first and only drive :) | 02:36 |
| nickrud | Baversjo, ok, you want to use (hd0,2) in the cloned stanza. | 02:36 |
| knopf | hi. is there a software that provides a menu interface for blocking/allowing countries using the "blockacountry.com" database? I would like to have a simple menu that shows "y" or "n" next to each of these countries and updates the /etc/hosts.deny files. | 02:37 |
| Ajuna | So during the install use manual settings with my partition lay out so it doesn't reformat my /home parition? | 02:37 |
| Tyrath | - cause when I watched starwars the other day it looked awesome quality | 02:37 |
| Tyrath | - like the best I think I've ever seen | 02:37 |
| Ajuna | or use the 'guided options'? | 02:37 |
| Demian | hi | 02:37 |
| Baversjo | nickrud: That doesn't say me much :( What is the "stanza"? | 02:37 |
| Tyrath | hi Demian | 02:37 |
| Demian | i am using tvtime but get no sound | 02:37 |
| Demian | i tried to run a command i found: | 02:37 |
| Dominik | nickrud: any luck on that paper? | 02:37 |
| [T]ank | does ubuntu not use the grub.conf? I am in live cd and not finding it. | 02:37 |
| Demian | sox -q -c 0.5 -s -w -r 48000 -v 1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -w -r 48000 /dev/dsp | 02:37 |
| Flannel | [T]ank: menu.lst | 02:37 |
| JoshGr | hey guys, I'm trying to use Gnat-GPS to create, compile, and build ADA programs. I've used it before and it works to perfection. Suddenly, a few days ago, when I run "gnat-gps" from bash I get "raised SYSTEM.ASSERTIONS.ASSERT_FAILURE : glib-graphs.ads:352" and the program never launches. Ive tried uninstalling and re-installing but the same issue arises. Does anyone have any idea or would this be a better question for gnat-gps supp | 02:37 |
| Demian | it produces sound, but with lag | 02:38 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: probably because of updated drivers, or lack of viewing from high quality transports before | 02:38 |
| [T]ank | ah... thats right, thanks | 02:38 |
| Demian | anyone know what that command does, or have another hint? | 02:38 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: I just didn't get the same quality on windows for some strange reason... | 02:38 |
| nickrud | it's the section tht begins with # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS , mentions windows, and ends with chainloader+1 . Make a copy of that, and change the hd to (hd0,2) <-- that's the right format for the hard drive definition | 02:38 |
| nickrud | Dominik, nope. | 02:38 |
| Tyrath | has anyone used wine for playing games designed for windows? and what were the results? | 02:38 |
| Tyrath | Demian: have you updated your sound drivers? | 02:38 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: I use the same player in every operating system i use, so it generally looks the same (and not as good as my dedicated dvd player) | 02:39 |
| dmulholland | hey, what's the name of the kernel package in ubuntu? I want to install an old kernel (i've added the repo, just cant find the name for the kernel package, only found the headers so far) | 02:39 |
| Flannel | dmulholland: linux-image-version-arch | 02:39 |
| dmulholland | thanks Flannel | 02:39 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: lol. really bizarre. but I'm convinced it's the best quality I've seen. unless it just looks better because it's rendered on a smaller screen and hence less pixels to worry about | 02:39 |
| carbon_monoxide | !codec | 02:39 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 02:39 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: games generally work fine | 02:40 |
| nickrud | Demian, I looked for the author and ati 9000 (I know it covered that) and every link that google provided. Not there, so I guess he never put it on the net, just circulated it among reviewers | 02:40 |
| Baversjo | nickrud: Ok I'll try that now in the Grub editor, ty :D | 02:40 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: high quality games? | 02:40 |
| [T]ank | Flannel: sorry to be lame here, every instance of the menu.lst while in the live cd is just an example... where should that file be? | 02:40 |
| nickrud | Dominik, that last was for you, sorry Demian | 02:40 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: like 3D third or first person games | 02:40 |
| Demian | it's ok | 02:40 |
| fryguy | Tyrath: my 30" monitor has about 2x the pixels of my 61" televsion, so that might be part of it. and yes high quality games | 02:40 |
| [T]ank | should it be /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:40 |
| Flannel | [T]ank: That file doesn't really exist for the liveCD, since the liveCD doesn't use GRUB. What are you hoping to accomplish? | 02:40 |
| Dominik | nickrud: lol I missed it | 02:40 |
| Demian | Tyrath: don't know, ubuntu does by itself right? | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | Live cd most likely does not have a menu.lst | 02:41 |
| nickrud | Dominik, look back, it was addressed to dem ian | 02:41 |
| Dominik | nickrud: got it | 02:41 |
| dmulholland | Flannel, I'm on an i386 machine but shud I install generic or i386 kernel? | 02:41 |
| Flannel | dmulholland: generic is what you should use, unless generic gives you problems, then fall back to the 386 one | 02:42 |
| Tyrath | fryguy: I tried playing KOTOR 2 via windows using a mount. and the graphics display was fine, but my cursor didn't display and the sound didn't work :/ | 02:42 |
| [T]ank | Flannel: just trying to find some way to remove this damn language menu prior to selecting the image ;-) | 02:42 |
| dmulholland | thanks Flannel | 02:42 |
| Flannel | [T]ank: Try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 02:42 |
| Tyrath | Demian: try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:42 |
| nickrud | Dominik, I got on the list, but since I never had one of the older ati cards I didn't review it, except for basic details | 02:42 |
| [T]ank | ooo cool and helpful. ... reading now | 02:42 |
| Tyrath | Demian: actually what distribution are you running? - i'm not sure if this will affect it though | 02:42 |
| Demian | Tyrath: nothing to upgrade. ubuntu 8.04 | 02:43 |
| Demian | i get sound, and it is ok, it only happend with tvtime, and I should run that script (sox command) to listen, but it has lags | 02:43 |
| Tyrath | Demian: did you install the latest version of the app? | 02:44 |
| Tyrath | Demian: if so did you install from apt, debian package, or source (ie, tarball) | 02:44 |
| Demian | Tyrath: apt | 02:45 |
| * Tyrath wonders if elinks would state on some pages that javascript isn't enabled if it actually is... | 02:45 | |
| Tyrath | Demian: what does <program name> --version return? | 02:45 |
| Guest96434 | Hey guys!!! how do you fix Hotmail? mine is hippitty gaga boubou! I can't write in the text field. Hotmail is broken boohoo | 02:46 |
| Tyrath | Guest96434: what browser are you using? | 02:46 |
| Guest96434 | firefox | 02:46 |
| theGZA | IE7. | 02:46 |
| dmulholland | Guest40333, in firefox type in about::config | 02:46 |
| theGZA | use IE7 perhaps ;p | 02:46 |
| Guest96434 | and then? | 02:46 |
| dmulholland | Guest40333, make that about:config | 02:46 |
| theGZA | ms = hotmail = trident | 02:46 |
| Demian | Tyrath: tvtime 1.0.2. | 02:46 |
| dmulholland | Guest96434, then search for useragent | 02:46 |
| Guest96434 | found it | 02:47 |
| dmulholland | Guest96434, look for the one with vendor in the title and change the value to Firefox | 02:47 |
| think_linux | anyone good with ettercap in here??? | 02:47 |
| Guest96434 | current value is Ubuntu | 02:47 |
| dmulholland | Guest96434, change it to Firefox | 02:47 |
| Out_Cold | i was trying to install kde 4.1 and i get this error.. Can not install 'kubuntu-kde4-desktop' (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.) | 02:47 |
| Guest96434 | you meant general.useragent.vendor right? | 02:47 |
| dmulholland | Guest96434, then all should work | 02:48 |
| dmulholland | Guest96434, yes | 02:48 |
| Guest96434 | how do i save it? just close it? | 02:48 |
| dmulholland | Guest96434, yes | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | Guest96434 or use some 'useragent changer extension' - then again.. you could email Hotmail a nasty letter. :) if your email worked.. | 02:48 |
| Tyrath | Demian: I think that's the latest version :/ | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | Yet another reason i only use hotmail rarely. | 02:49 |
| Ajuna | Does anyone have a suggestion for an audio player that provides gapless playback? Amarok inserts 'pops' and 'clicks' in between songs | 02:49 |
| Guest96434 | a MILLION thanks dmulholland!!!!! waaaaaaahooooooo! | 02:49 |
| Guest96434 | it works | 02:49 |
| ahughes | hey, anyone sucessfully using a USB HDTV tuner card? I'll put ubuntu 8.10 on my ps3 tonight, but not sure if I can expect a USB HDTV tuner to work | 02:49 |
| dmulholland | no worries, had to fix it for my fiancée th other day | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | Hotmail Firefox Breakage --> http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&forumId=1&comments_parentId=195460 | 02:50 |
| Tyrath | Demian: hope this helps: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/problems.html | 02:50 |
| Guest96434 | wonderful | 02:50 |
| compu73rg33k | I have two minitors i'm setting up as dual monitors. I'm using the nVidia X Server settings. I can put the second monitor in Twin View but if I configure it to be a "Separate X Screen" it tells me to save my X Configuration and restart X server. I do so but when I restart the monitor is disabled again. | 02:50 |
| Tyrath | I really can't offer support for a while I gotta study for my last exam | 02:50 |
| Tyrath | sorry | 02:50 |
| Tyrath | thanks for the help tho | 02:50 |
| Guest96434 | Good luck tyrath | 02:50 |
| compu73rg33k | So I can have twin view with dual monitors but cannot have them each be a separate x screen...or is this later option impossible b/c it would require two instances of xserver? | 02:50 |
| * Tyrath will prob offer assistance again after the exams except for small issues | 02:50 | |
| Tyrath | Guest96434: thanks | 02:50 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, you are generally easier with Twinview | 02:50 |
| compu73rg33k | I just don't like how if I switch workspaces the other screen switches workspaces too | 02:51 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, twinview has advantages in being able to drag windows across | 02:51 |
| compu73rg33k | Could i make one screen have one workspace and the other have multiple ones? :x | 02:51 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, if you set the windows to always on top then in effect you can | 02:51 |
| fryguy | compu73rg33k: changing your x monitor config isn't going to affect that, that's how your window manager works. You should change your window manager if you don't like it's behavior (or modify it's settings if that is possible/appropriate) | 02:52 |
| cads | hey i'm here in 8.10, and I'd like to install kdevelop package... that requires the kde libraries but for some reason it's also trying to install a bunch of kde apps. Is there any way to avoid installing dolphin and kde icons etc, and install only what is needed by kdevelop/ | 02:52 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, i normally did that with a terminal on one of the screens | 02:52 |
| compu73rg33k | set it to always on top? | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | compu73rg33k, Its not impossible to run 2 instances of the X server.. :) but i rarely use my 2 moniotors that way.. Ijust use one WIDE desktop | 02:52 |
| compu73rg33k | Yeah I suppose that's what I'll do the set always on top should be a sufficient solution I think | 02:53 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, right click the window on the task bar and there is the option | 02:53 |
| fryguy | compu73rg33k: there are plenty of other window managers available to try if ubuntu's default choice doesn't suit you | 02:53 |
| compu73rg33k | Yeah i see. So in the NVIDIA X Server Settings is the "run separate x screen" option only supposed to be used when using a single monitor? or is it supposed to function like i was asking for? | 02:54 |
| fryguy | compu73rg33k: it's just another way of configuring dual monitors. It won't change how those monitors are presented to your window manager | 02:55 |
| schnoowork | ok this is wierd, i followed the troubleshoot section on the isntalling lamp page and my browser still wants to download the .php files kind of like the AddHandler isnt even installed :S | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | compu73rg33k, with it - i belive you some how spawn a seperate X session, and you could Jump from one monitor to the other with alt-ctrl-F7 and alt-ctrl-F8 So you could for example have a Media Player on Monitor #2 thats not bothered by anyone doing stuff on #1 | 02:56 |
| panfist | in the default ubuntu skin if you open a folder in nautilus it has the icon in the bottom panel as the file ops dialog. someone could accidentally right click > close it thinking they are closing a file browser window and cancel a file operation without confirmation | 02:56 |
| Out_Cold | how do i mount an iso file? | 02:57 |
| compu73rg33k | Yeah that's what I was going for Dr_willis although I don't really have the time or desire to put forth a lot of extra work to get that configured | 02:57 |
| carbon_monoxide | !jre | 02:57 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 02:57 |
| Flannel | !iso | Out_Cold | 02:57 |
| ubottu | Out_Cold: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 02:57 |
| fryguy | right, and you would need to deal with clipboard sharing, keyboard/mouse sharing, and it will take the resources of 2 x servers, and usually graphics cards can only provide acceleration to one x session at a time (the driver will obtain a lock on the device for acceleration), so one x server will take up much more cpu than the other | 02:57 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, sometimes it will work as you were asking, I got it working once but it isnt great to be honest | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | compu73rg33k, i dont use it that way anyway..I drag the media player to monitor #2 and just mazamize it.. :) twinview max's it to JUST that monitor.. muche less hassle. | 02:57 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, the lack of ability to drag windows across made it a pain | 02:57 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, especially when you are used to doing that on dual monitors at work in windows | 02:58 |
| Soopa | hi all, I'm trying to play World of Warcraft using wine. Everything works fine, but my 5.1 sound doesn't work (it just comes out of two speakers). Anyone know where to look regarding this issue? | 02:58 |
| compu73rg33k | yeah I can see how that would actually be a bigger set back than just setting things to always on top | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | Twinview in wide-screen mode. :)lets you drag stuff around from one monitor to the other. | 02:58 |
| compu73rg33k | who uses windows? :P | 02:58 |
| fryguy | compu73rg33k: i do | 02:58 |
| compu73rg33k | :( | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | I gotta hook my my other monitor this weekend.. | 02:58 |
| compu73rg33k | tri-view? | 02:58 |
| Out_Cold | thanks Flannel | 02:58 |
| kansan | i have a repo, and i'm trying to bring in some external projects with svn:externals but i'm starting to hate life. i have the root, and then i have: /vendor, and specifically /vendor/openx. its my desire to throw https://svn.openx.org/openx/tags/2.6/openx-2.6.3/ into the /vendor/openx, then commit my project... .so from the /vendor/ directory i did: svn propedit svn:externals . ; and put in: openx https://svn.openx.org/openx/tags/2.6/o | 02:58 |
| kansan | penx-2.6.3/ .... then within /vendor/ i did svn update; (1) when i had already added openx to the svn repo i got: "Fetching external item into 'openx'; svn: Working copy 'openx' locked; svn: run cleanup blah; "... (2) when i didnt have it added i got: "Fetching external item into 'openx'; Skipped '.' ... what to do now? | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | I normmally use 1 monitor + 1 tv :) | 02:59 |
| fryguy | kansan: ask in #subversion | 02:59 |
| Flannel | kansan: Try #svn | 02:59 |
| lym | away | 02:59 |
| kansan | no one has asnwered that all dayu | 02:59 |
| panfist | fryguy is 40MB/s a normal speed for software raid5 over four drives? | 02:59 |
| kansan | bhtanks though | 02:59 |
| fryguy | panfist: depends on the drives and the controller they are on, among other things | 03:00 |
| fryguy | my current raid5 array does about 250mb/s in both directions. it's also a hardware array now. When it was a software array it was doing roughly the same speeds | 03:00 |
| fryguy | that's with 5 disks, with 4 it was doing just over 200 | 03:01 |
| compu73rg33k | Ah dmulholland the real option we were discussing is "Always on visible workspace" | 03:01 |
| panfist | fryguy they are wd10eacs 1tb 5400rpm 16mb cache on amd sb700 | 03:01 |
| dmulholland | compu73rg33k, yeah you're right :) my bad | 03:01 |
| fryguy | panfist: sorry, i don't have encyclopedic knowledge of the performance of every hard drive/controller configuration on the market | 03:01 |
| compu73rg33k | Anyway my other problem is with the ctrl + X hotkey. For some reason when I installed ubuntu intrepid, ctrl + x has been hotkeyed as close window for only a select few applications, namely XChat, Calculator and gftp | 03:02 |
| sjdurfey | are there plans to update the version of Eclipse in the repos anytime soon? the repo is two releases behind | 03:02 |
| fryguy | sjdurfey: no | 03:02 |
| compu73rg33k | I've specifically chosen close window to be ctrl + shift + w which also works in those 3 programs | 03:02 |
| Byrnison | Aptitude wants to remove about twenty packages on any operation. How do I fix this? | 03:02 |
| Flannel | sjdurfey: There are. You can get specifics in #ubuntu-motu | 03:02 |

| zhan_zr | Byrnison: Cancel your operation | 03:03 |
| Guest82961 | ok im going crazy here i cannot get intreped to work with an intel integrated video card on a dell inspiron 1100 | 03:03 |
| Guest82961 | ive tried everything. | 03:03 |
| Guest82961 | has anyone done this ? | 03:03 |
| Byrnison | zhan_zr: That isn't the problem, I simply don't know how to fix it. | 03:03 |
| zhan_zr | Byrnison: What do you want to fix? | 03:04 |
| Guest82961 | I can only get it working with vesa. and yes i have the a32 bios update | 03:04 |
| Byrnison | zhan_zr: I would appreciate it not asking to remove 20 packages! Sorry... | 03:04 |
| Flannel | Byrnison: What package are you removing? | 03:04 |
| zhan_zr | Byrnison: Generally, you can't | 03:04 |
| wene | hello | 03:04 |
| zhan_zr | Byrnison: There are very complex dependcies between them. | 03:05 |
| Byrnison | zhan_zr: It's probably because I removed the kde metapackage, now it wants to get rid of everything kde depended on... | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Byrnison: Use apt-get instead of aptitude | 03:05 |
| theGZA | if i have 4 partitions, 1 ext3 ( this ubuntu 6.10 ), 1 windows main, 1 ntfs storage ( 400 gb ) and 1 for swap ( 3 gb ) .. will it be a pain just to upgrade the ubuntu itself? i should be ok with 8.10 CD? | 03:05 |
| zhan_zr | Byrnison: You can't use a package on the air | 03:05 |
| theGZA | Flannel: Why not aptitude? | 03:05 |
| zhan_zr | Byrnison: They have their base package. | 03:05 |
| Flannel | theGZA: Because aptitude gets overzealous with automated removal at times. | 03:06 |
| wene | i have added a mount point in the properties of a manually mounted partition and now, i cannot mount it because there is a wrong character in the mount location. do you know where i can modify it ? | 03:06 |
| panfist | fryguy 40MB seems low for drives that should get 80MB in a single drive configuration. i think i will do some detailed performance tests with more settings and post a review. i cannot seem to find a good recent analysis. the linux raid wiki could use some elaboration on typical performance | 03:06 |
| Flannel | theGZA: of course, he still hasn't told us what package he's removing | 03:06 |
| zhan_zr | Byrnison: Such as, if you don't have a X system, how can you use a gnome desktop. | 03:06 |
| Byrnison | Never mind, I figured it out... I had to run "aptitude install" on all the packages it was trying to get rid of for me. | 03:06 |
| Flannel | zhan_zr: You can have gnome without an X server, not without an X client. | 03:07 |
| Byrnison | Technically I don't use Gnome at all, but KDE... although more recently I'm starting to appreciate wmii. | 03:07 |
| fryguy | Flannel: "an X client?" what do you mean | 03:07 |
| zhan_zr | Flannel: Oh, I didn't know about this. | 03:07 |
| Ajuna | If you have 6 gigs of ram should your swap partition be 6 gigs? | 03:08 |
| Ajuna | that's a ton of space | 03:08 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| Out_Cold | Ajuna, 1 gb is plenty | 03:08 |
| rww | Ajuna: if you want to use suspend/hibernate, yes | 03:08 |
| Flannel | fryguy: X has clients and servers. You connect to a X client with an X server, and can run stuff on the client machine where its displayed on the server machine. | 03:08 |
| Ajuna | damn | 03:08 |
| Byrnison | The problem was that when I installed the kde meta-package, it pulled in dependencies I did not want. When I removed them, it also removed the kde meta-package, as dependencies ensured. The problem was that aptitude wanted to be "smart" and remove the other, "unnecessary" dependecies in addition. | 03:08 |
| After_Math | Can anyone tell me or give me a link to a good guide on how to install Windows after an Ubuntu installation? | 03:08 |
| fryguy | Flannel: right, so gnome doesn't HAVE an x client, it IS an X client, right? | 03:08 |
| Flannel | fryguy: No, gnome runs inside X on the client side. | 03:09 |
| fuxxy_ | fryguy, gnome is a windowmanager that runs on top of an X server. | 03:09 |
| fryguy | fuxxy_: no it's not | 03:09 |
| Byrnison | fuxxy_: Gnome is a desktop environment, not a WM. | 03:09 |
| Frijolie | when you install something from a tarball, once it's installed is it safe to delete the newly created directory? | 03:09 |
| Byrnison | Frijolie: yes. | 03:09 |
| fryguy | Flannel: what client does it run inside of | 03:09 |
| Flannel | fryguy: What? | 03:09 |
| Flannel | fryguy: X | 03:09 |
| After_Math | !windows | 03:10 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 03:10 |
| zhan_zr | Frijolie: Yes | 03:10 |
| fryguy | Flannel: you just said it runs inside X on the client side. Which client does it run inside of if it isn't an x client itself? | 03:10 |
| Frijolie | Byrnison: thanks | 03:10 |
| Byrnison | fryguy: Technically, Gnome is several programs. There is a program that draws the panels, a program that draws the background, and so on. | 03:10 |
| olskolirc | hey guys what program do we use such as Dreamweaver for M$ Windows? anyone know? | 03:10 |
| Frijolie | zhan_zr: thanks | 03:10 |
| Byrnison | fryguy: An X client is merely any program making use of the GUI. | 03:10 |
| Byrnison | fryguy: Some of which are part of Gnome. | 03:10 |
| skylarS | olskolirc, html wysiwyg? | 03:10 |
| Out_Cold | olskolirc, kompozer is a WYSIWYG web developer app | 03:10 |
| Ajuna | So I have to calculate what 6GB is in MB to mark sure my swap isn't too small for suspend/hibernate? | 03:10 |
| oakmac1 | What is the command to reload my hardware? something involving udev? | 03:11 |
| musikgoat | Ajuna: 6x1024 | 03:11 |
| fryguy | Byrnison: yes, i realize that, flannel seems to be suggesting something different, so I am seeking clarification (I use x clients on a remote x server on a daily basis, so i'm looking for some clarification here) | 03:11 |
| Ajuna | ah thanks | 03:11 |
| olskolirc | yes sKylarS | 03:11 |
| olskolirc | oh ok ty Out_Cold | 03:11 |
| Flannel | fryguy: with X, the "server" is run on the machine with the keyboard, mouse, monitor. The clients are on the machine you're connecting to remotely (or not so remotely) | 03:11 |
| AstralSin | i just installed intrepid on my laptop but i get a grub error 15 on reboot, any known fixes for this? | 03:11 |
| fryguy | Flannel: yes, I understand that. So is gnome an x Client, or does it run inside of one like you suggested before? | 03:12 |
| musikgoat | heh | 03:12 |
| Appl3Kork | ok so I just downloaded the tar.gz file of alien, but how do I install it through terminal? | 03:13 |
| Flannel | Appl3Kork: download the deb, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/alien | 03:13 |
| jrib | Appl3Kork: throw it in the trash. You don't need it. In general, avoid alien | 03:13 |
| Appl3Kork | all the tutorials show how to install by doing sudo apt-get install alien, but I have no internet access, cause the drivers arent installed | 03:13 |
| Appl3Kork | ok | 03:13 |
| Appl3Kork | thanks | 03:13 |
| fryguy | Flannel: and how does this affect the interactions of things like xpra, xnest, xmove, and other compositing techniques of forwarding a client to another x server transparently? | 03:13 |
| Flannel | Appl3Kork: then just double click the deb | 03:13 |
| Appl3Kork | thanks Flannel | 03:14 |
| cpro | hey can any budy please tell me how to do video chat using google cat in ubuntu | 03:14 |
| panfist | fryguy any explanation for why large file transfer inevitably stop? | 03:14 |

| oakmac1 | I have an external sound card that will occasionally crash (it used to do this in Windows, so I know it's specific to this piece of hardware). When I reset the sound card I have no sound in Ubuntu. How can I tell Ubuntu to "reload" my hardware? | 03:15 |
| panfist | other than they complete lol | 03:15 |
| musikgoat | panfist: disk space? | 03:15 |
| panfist | musikgoat i dont think so, its 100GB onto 3TB | 03:15 |
| musikgoat | seemed too easy :-) | 03:15 |
| fryguy | Flannel: "gnome runs inside X on the client side." can you clarify this statement? I'm confused | 03:16 |
| panfist | can i get some more feedback by moving in the command line? | 03:16 |
| Appl3Kork | Flannel, I opened the deb file, and it says in red Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: debhelper | 03:16 |
| jrib | panfist: -v maybe? check dmesg | 03:16 |
| Flannel | Appl3Kork: then you'll need to download debhelper too (if you look at that site, it lists the dependencies, should be two more clicks) | 03:16 |
| Appl3Kork | what are dependencies anyway? | 03:17 |
| jrib | Appl3Kork: things that are depended on | 03:17 |
| jrib | Appl3Kork: why do you need alien? | 03:17 |

| compu73rg33k | Guest95727, if you install compizconfig-settings-manager you can configure that | 03:47 |
| compu73rg33k | I'm not sure if it's enabled by default though | 03:47 |
| alex_ | compu73rg33k go to viewport switcher and the third tab | 03:47 |
| n8tuser | jimmy01-> here is okay | 03:47 |
| DerFicker | @<fryguy> its the button on the lower left that does the job | 03:47 |
| Guest95727 | ohh ok | 03:47 |
| X4D | n8tuser: my first router uses 192.168.1.1 and the second is in 10.1.1.1 | 03:47 |
| alex_ | compu73rg33k disable move next and move prev | 03:47 |
| fsufitch_ | hi. i'm using ubuntu 8.10 on a dell xps m1330. I can't burn CDs, as no matter what i do, when i put in a blank CD the computer never recognizes there is actually any media (full or blank) inserted. the same drive burned fine in hardy, and can also read CDs right now. | 03:47 |
| fryguy | DerFicker: ? | 03:47 |
| wene | alex: values were empty and i added /mnt/my-partition | 03:47 |
| DerFicker | opps sorry | 03:47 |
| DKPhoenix | is anyone else having problems with graphics drivers in 8.10? | 03:48 |
| Hilton | hmm | 03:48 |
| compu73rg33k | Thanks alex_ | 03:48 |
| Hilton | Just a question: Can anyone see my lines? | 03:48 |
| alex_ | wene did you mount as superuser | 03:48 |
| jimmy01 | I want to set up a home server on an old desktop computer. Would it be easier to just install the Ubuntu desktop edition and configure it to be a server, or should I install the server edition?? | 03:48 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> what do you mean you have a 2nd router? can you elaborate on your network layout? | 03:48 |
| jpablanche | what is the channel for java? | 03:48 |
| alex_ | wene try and undo that - normally nautilus should automatically mount volumes in the sidebar | 03:48 |
| onthefence9281 | i'm having trouble with my java on ubuntu 8.04, how od i make sure i am running the latest java? | 03:48 |
| jpablanche | java channel is but registration required | 03:48 |
| n8tuser | jimmy01-> same difference really, | 03:48 |
| alex_ | wene just click on it | 03:48 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: it's best to install ubuntu server... because it won't have X Windows | 03:48 |
| n8tuser | onthefence9281-> java -version should tell you | 03:49 |
| jimmy01 | can I start X windows from terminal, i mean does it just not boot running x windows? | 03:49 |
| Smegzor | If I put wubi on the pc, does windows run in the background when I'm using wubi or is it more like a dual boot? | 03:49 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: are you ... comfortable... on the terminal? | 03:49 |
| jpablanche | the channel for java is required registratioon? | 03:49 |
| jimmy01 | yes | 03:49 |
| n8tuser | jpablanche-> visit the nicer folks in undernet.org much much nicer java people there | 03:49 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: it doesn't install any of that stuff, at all | 03:49 |
| fryguy | jimmy01: it's not installed. you would have to install it afterwards if you wanted to use it | 03:49 |
| compu73rg33k | What's the difference between viewport switcher hotkeys and the Wall hotkeys? | 03:49 |
| compu73rg33k | I guess viewport switching bindings just wouldn't use the wall stuff? | 03:49 |
| jpablanche | ok ill try | 03:50 |
| jimmy01 | ok, i see | 03:50 |
| onthefence9281 | n8tuser: is openJDK 1.6.0 just as good as sun version? will they be detected the same by all programs/IDEs? | 03:50 |
| jimmy01 | thanks a lot for the help guys!!! | 03:50 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: but the server gurus suggest *strongly* that you refrain from using X windows on a server | 03:50 |
| jimmy01 | because of the memomry and cpu usage?? | 03:50 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: do you have a monitor to use while you install ubuntu server? | 03:50 |
| X4D | n8tuser: the first router 10.1.1.1 is connected to the telephone line and that connects directly to a WRT54GL 192.168.1.1 where the rest of the machines are connected to. | 03:50 |
| narothepharoh | Whats a good program to compress files so you can send through email? | 03:50 |
| fryguy | Flannel: can you help me? you were the one who guided me so far. | 03:50 |
| jimmy01 | yes | 03:50 |
| n8tuser | onthefence9281-> my experience with non sun java has been lots of hair pulling, id stick with sun java, if it was me | 03:50 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: no, it's more related to the ports and such that X windows utilizes, networkwise | 03:50 |
| jimmy01 | why do ask about the monitor? | 03:51 |
| Flannel | fryguy: Please drop it. You're not actually in need of support, and are only contributing to noise. | 03:51 |
| onthefence9281 | n8tuser: ok i think i just installed teh sun version, how do i make it my default or w/e? | 03:51 |
| narothepharoh | Whats a good program to compress files so you can send through email? | 03:51 |
| fryguy | Flannel: I sure am in need of support. I stated my question above. Is there a problem with my question? | 03:51 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: you can't install the normal version of ubuntu server without one, because they don't enable serial access, or ssh access, via the normal installer | 03:51 |
| n8tuser | onthefence9281-> use update-alternatives, google for the instructions | 03:51 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: but it is possible without, you would have to rebuild the cd, but since you have a monitor, it's not that big of a deal | 03:52 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> and does that config work? | 03:52 |
| narothepharoh | Whats a good program to compress files so you can send through email? | 03:52 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: just keep in mind, that if there is a problem, and you can't access it via ssh, that you'll have to plug in the monitor | 03:52 |
| jimmy01 | so I have to install all of those capabilities after the install directly on the server terminal (using the monitor) | 03:52 |
| boobsbr | hi all! I would like to thank everyone a lot, because Intrepid helped me solve a problem I had with my video card drivers since Hardy. the power cable was disconnected from the video card and X/GDM diagnosed it. THANK YOU Ubuntu commmunity!!! | 03:52 |
| genii-around | narothepharoh: 7zip | 03:52 |
| n8tuser | !who | 03:53 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:53 |
| X4D | n8tuser: yes it's been working for the past 3 years perfectly | 03:53 |
| wene | alex: i can see it on the left side bar, but i dont have the properties anymore, i only have the "mount" option that is not working | 03:53 |
| sazma | I upgraded to 8.10 and now my flash plugin freezes after firefox has been up for a while. Works fine at first, and then gets all wonky. I've removed pulseaudio, install nonfree-flashplugin-extraaudio(or w/e) and I can't seem to make it work reliably... done a lot of googling and tried a lot of stuff. Anyone have any pointers? | 03:53 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: sort of, the best way is to install ssh-server via taskselect during the install | 03:53 |
| matthias | hi hiw do i install glibc and where do i get glibc, the repository and if so glibc-source or some where else ... | 03:53 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: then, if you set up networking during the install, you should be able to reboot and ssh in there, and unplug the monitor | 03:53 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> somehow i missed the issue you are having? if any? | 03:53 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: but this depends on all the networking of course, | 03:53 |
| jimmy01 | nice.. sounds like a lot of fun | 03:53 |
| fryguy | matthias: you already have glibc installed | 03:53 |
| cishpix | narothepharoh: bzip is good and very small capacity | 03:54 |
| onthefence9281 | n8tuser: thanks, that helped | 03:54 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> you guest is not able to access the internet? | 03:54 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: it's possible to give yourself a serial back-door, but that requires a null-modem cable, and perhaps a usb-serial adapter if your motherboard doesn't have a direct 9-pin serial port | 03:54 |
| narothepharoh | genii-around: how can i get it? it wont install on terminal. | 03:54 |
| matthias | fryguy: i tried dpkg -s glibc and tells me it is not installed ... | 03:54 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: or parallel port | 03:54 |
| onthefence9281 | anyone know how well e17 works on ubuntu? | 03:54 |
| X4D | n8tuser: Well I followed the instructions on this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBoxNetworking and I get an error ~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:54 |
| X4D | * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Set 'vbox0' persistent and owned by uid 0 | 03:54 |
| X4D | dnsmasq: failed to bind listening socket for fe80::80e3:4dff:feee:e552: Address already in use | 03:54 |

| FloodBot3 | X4D: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:54 |
| jimmy01 | it is an old HP desktop computer | 03:55 |
| n8tuser | onthefence9281-> you're welcome, good luck | 03:55 |
| jimmy01 | I am unsure of the specs off hand. | 03:55 |
| genii-around | !info p7zip | narothepharoh | 03:55 |

| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: i personally believe that a monitor should *never* need a monitor, it's not apropos for the situation, so i always go back and enable serial access all over the place | 03:55 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: then again, i've been in situations when a monitor wasn' | 03:55 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: t available... | 03:55 |
| giacomo | I've just deleted the whole qt* group of packet and reinstalled vlc with the dependencies, same "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" . Anybody else has this problem | 03:55 |
| matthias | fryguy: or how do i verify package installed and version, i am going to install my video card driver for ati mobility radeon x1400 ... | 03:56 |
| jimmy01 | you sound very knowledgable rdw200169 | 03:56 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: i mean, server need a monitor... heh | 03:56 |
| jimmy01 | I want to use the server to tunnel to from school. | 03:56 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> what changed from the last 3 years that you said were working? | 03:56 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: check this out, it documents how to enable serial access if you wanna look into it: http://greamin.com/server/ServerGuide.html | 03:56 |
| jimmy01 | We are blocked from things like IRC chat. | 03:56 |
| fryguy | matthias: i am unsure of that | 03:56 |
| X4D | I followed the guide here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBoxNetworking but I get an error dnsmasq: failed to bind listening socket for x... Address already in use | 03:56 |
| matthias | fryguy: ok | 03:57 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: whooops. http://greamin.com/server/server_guide.html | 03:57 |
| fryguy | matthias: maybe dpkg --get-selections? I dunno | 03:57 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: ah, that's easy, just use ssh tunneling | 03:57 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: over port 80 | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> dont you need to restart vbox also in priority perhaps? | 03:57 |
| X4D | n8tuser: when I restart the network, so I'm a little confused on what IP's I should set up in the interfaces file for vbox to connect | 03:58 |
| jimmy01 | One more question rdw because you are so helpful. | 03:58 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: shoot | 03:58 |
| giacomo | I've just deleted the whole qt* group of packet and reinstalled vlc with the dependencies, same "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" . Anybody else has this problem ? | 03:58 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> what changed from the last 3 years that you said were working? you added an interface? | 03:58 |
| jimmy01 | I have a wireless router, and two computers on the network. I have to forward the SSH port in order to tunnel to one of my computers from school correct? | 03:58 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: yes, | 03:59 |
| X4D | n8tuser: no problems with my connections outside of Virtualbox, thing is Virtualbox is not connecting properly | 03:59 |
| jimmy01 | any details on that process? | 03:59 |
| narothepharoh | genii-around: how do i run after installed? i cant find it anywhere | 03:59 |
| n8tuser | X4D-> inside your guest, check your route table | 03:59 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: there are several ways to approach this, the best is to get a free domain, or buy your own (godaddy.com) and set up a zonedns account for dynamic ip address update, then either use ddclient, or if your wireless router supports it, update your IP on the DNS server that way | 04:00 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: this gets you around the issue of dynamic ip assignment from the ISP | 04:00 |
| X4D | n8tuser: ok, will do, thanks | 04:00 |
| jimmy01 | yes, that is the problem! this is great.. I use comcast. what is the ddclient? | 04:01 |
| Doitle2 | I've encountered a bit of a problem with Ibex in VMware... I can get to the login screen, enter my username and password and then it accepts them and the screen goes a pinky salmon color and just hangs | 04:01 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: then, you forward the port the ssh server is running on to the server, i.e. in this situation it would be port 80 to get around a restrictive firewall | 04:01 |
| Baatti | I need some help making my Atheros AR5007EG wireless LAN card work on Ubuntu 8.10 | 04:01 |
| genii-around | narothepharoh: Fileroller should now have this format as an option | 04:01 |
| jpablanche | please tell me what java channel is the most reliable? | 04:01 |
| fryguy | I'm trying to run gnome on a remote x server. Someone told me I need to install an x client for gnome to run in. What client is this and how do I install it? | 04:01 |
| n8tuser | jimmy01-> and if you get caught, be ready to get kicked out of school? | 04:01 |
| matthias | anyone have an idea on how to get version of packages installed, tried dpkg but i am not sure if it is correct ... | 04:01 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: you would test this from outside your home network by doing a $ ssh user@domain:80 | 04:01 |
| Doitle2 | ##java here on freenode is pretty good jpablanche | 04:02 |
| Baatti | matthias I've still not got it working | 04:02 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: it's unlikely unless their running some amazing proxy software, b/c ssh runs encrypted, incl. the tunnel | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | jpablanche-> you have not visited what i suggested earlier? | 04:02 |
| jpablanche | ##java is required registration | 04:02 |
| Doitle2 | you just need to be identified with nickserv | 04:02 |
| jpablanche | yes its good | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | !who | jpablanche | 04:02 |
| Doitle2 | I've found it to be a heck of a lot more helpful than #java on efnet | 04:02 |
| ubottu | jpablanche: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 04:02 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: so, for example, their layer 7 proxy, i.e. squid proxy or something like that, would have to catch a ssh tunnel | 04:02 |
| jpablanche | yes how to veriry and to be a member of nicksrv | 04:02 |
| jpablanche | verify | 04:03 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: but they wouldn't see the traffic | 04:03 |
| Baatti | I need some help making my Atheros AR5007EG wireless LAN card work on Ubuntu 8.10 | 04:03 |
| matthias | Baatti: no, still fighting, but i am going to reinstall the video card by using amd:s ovn driver instead of envy and go on from there and see what happens ... | 04:03 |
| jimmy01 | sounds really great.. quite above my head | 04:03 |
| narothepharoh | genii-around: Fileroller? I dont have this. | 04:03 |
| jimmy01 | so my main problem is getting around the dynamic ip addressing | 04:03 |
| jpablanche | cannot join registration is required how to register? | 04:03 |
| jimmy01 | will the server help me with that problem? | 04:03 |
| Doitle2 | jpablanche type /msg nickserv register | 04:04 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: in your situation, you don't really need a server | 04:04 |
| subdolus | how do I find out which hsync and vertfresh values I should use in xorg.conf ? | 04:04 |
| subdolus | short of finding my manual | 04:04 |
| n8tuser | jimmy01-> easy to find out, have a client connected to an irc channel, and just check the ip address :P | 04:04 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: an ubuntu desktop installation would easily do this task | 04:04 |
| jimmy01 | well, i wanted to set up a permanent linux box at home | 04:04 |
| Doitle2 | it should tell you you need some more parameters like an email and username or something. Just follow the directions it sends you and it should be fairly straight forward | 04:04 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: so you can do other stuff on it, than just tunneling internet access to a blocked network? | 04:04 |
| matthias | friends i found a way to verify package versions, the command from terminal is aptitud show <package name> | 04:04 |
| genii-around | narothepharoh: "Archive Manager" | 04:04 |
| jimmy01 | what do you mean | 04:05 |
| jimmy01 | run other programs or what | 04:05 |
| jimmy01 | can the ssh control the entire computer | 04:05 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: other server stuff, like a webserver or fileserver or something | 04:05 |
| jimmy01 | oh ok | 04:05 |
| uuuuuuuuu | what is a securty risk to have tcp packets in my network with source port 0? | 04:05 |
| n8tuser | matthias-> there is an option too in dpkg, dpkg which is behind the apt* commands | 04:05 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: honestly, if you don't intend to push a lot of traffic, i.e. hundreds of hits on a webserver, a full server isn't technically necessary | 04:05 |
| jimmy01 | ok | 04:06 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: then again, i run my normal desktop constantly, so i'm perhaps an exception | 04:06 |
| matthias | n8tuser: ok | 04:06 |
| Anacranom | rdw200169_, take a look at this , would this work for jimmy01 ? http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=66 | 04:06 |
| === MrObvious is now known as Unity | ||
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: the point i'm making is that, if you're comfortable running your normal desktop while at school, or whatever, a server is kinda overkill | 04:06 |
| === Unity is now known as MrObvious | ||
| Dominik | how do I do swapon automatically on boot? | 04:06 |
| yaptop | hello all. I'm having an issue where I have no sound at all and it's not just something simple like i have mute on. does anyone have suggestions | 04:06 |
| hollanbm | hey all, is there anyway i can force a certain app to open on a certain workspace | 04:07 |
| jimmy01 | ok, i think i might forget about the server and just set up an extra desktop computer to tunnel through then | 04:07 |
| blinkn1 | hello | 04:07 |
| jimmy01 | is that the idea | 04:07 |
| matthias | well boys let me get started and uninstall the existing video card driver and install amd:s own ..., see you in a while ... | 04:07 |
| rdw200169_ | Anacranom: jimmy01: why would you set up an extra desktop? | 04:07 |
| rdw200169_ | Anacranom: not really, ssh, on it' | 04:07 |
| lianimator | I have a very strange problem with a subtitles file srt. I cannot open it in gedit but the sub plays in VLC. when I open it in nano, it shows some weird symbols.. '^@' in between letters | 04:08 |
| rdw200169_ | Anacranom: s own already does tunneling, it's one of the 'hidden' features, think of PuTTY tunneling which is more documented | 04:08 |
| rdw200169_ | Anacranom: then we get into socks protocol, etc... | 04:08 |
| jimmy01 | perhaps i am new and missing the idea, but I thought I need two computers, one at home and one at school | 04:08 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: ah, yes, of course, i see | 04:08 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: this of course requires 2 computers | 04:09 |
| jimmy01 | use the school computer and tunnel through the home computer using ssh | 04:09 |
| jimmy01 | both running desktop ubuntu | 04:09 |
| jimmy01 | right? | 04:09 |
| === erwan_ is now known as ajobondon | ||
| Doitle2 | Trying to tunnel around the packet shapers eh jimmy? :P | 04:09 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: yeah, kinda multipurpose, you're not going to do a lot of 'server' work, so you can dual-purpose your home desktop for | 04:09 |
| myk_robinson | hey. How do I reset desktop effects? It wont enable now, however I can run compiz-fuzion just fine.. Now when I boot, the desktop is running plain, and I have to manually enter "compiz --replace" twice | 04:10 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: a regular ubuntu usage | 04:10 |
| schnoowork | anyone know why the php5.load apache module doesnt have any of the AddType functions anymore. Its impossible to view php files without it :\ | 04:10 |
| rdw200169_ | myk_robinson: yeah, compiz, when it crashes, defaults back to metacity | 04:10 |
| jimmy01 | sounds good to me.. although i do want to get the server experience | 04:10 |
| jimmy01 | Thanks so much for the help! | 04:11 |
| jimmy01 | You guys are really knowledgable. | 04:11 |
| myk_robinson | rdw200169_: compiz works fine.. I messed around with the desktop effects thing in appearance, and now that is trying to take over apparently. | 04:11 |
| n8tuser | schnoowork-> ask the nice folks in #php perhaps? those are not ubuntu support questions | 04:11 |
| rdw200169_ | myk_robinson: you should check out the script in the /usr/bin/compiz, and perhaps edit accordingly | 04:11 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: you can still operate a normal installation of ubuntu as a server | 04:11 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: i'm running a webserver on my desktop as we speak, i.e. greamin.com | 04:11 |
| jimmy01 | really? | 04:12 |
| jimmy01 | how does that work | 04:12 |
| jimmy01 | or any webpages that detail the process | 04:12 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: easy, apt-get install apache2 | 04:12 |
| jimmy01 | ok | 04:12 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: of what, setting up a webserver? | 04:12 |
| jimmy01 | i will look into it | 04:12 |
| jimmy01 | yea | 04:12 |
| Maud | hey wassup? | 04:12 |
| jimmy01 | apache2 does that then? | 04:12 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: you should check out the ubuntu server guide, it details a lot of the simple stuff of running a server | 04:13 |
| jimmy01 | ok | 04:13 |
| rdw200169_ | jimmy01: which is more than posible using ubuntu destkop | 04:13 |
| jimmy01 | thanks | 04:13 |

| Cmclean | Just an open question..... How hard is it to run a webserver off a non-server Ubuntu computer? And will it be like renting space from a host? | 04:14 |
| IMfang | question: why does my internet connect at 512kbps, but I only get 62kbps download???? | 04:14 |
| rdw200169_ | myk_robinson: compiz runs from that script, and sometimes it causes problems during the boot-up of grub | 04:14 |
| rdw200169_ | myk_robinson: i mean gnome | 04:14 |
| freddy_engels | n8user: Any idea how I could change those settings, since I can't connect to it? | 04:14 |
| stickboy | if i upgrade to 8.10 through update manager, my files and settings are protected, correct? | 04:14 |
| schnoowork | n8tuser, im talking about the PHP which is in synaptic though :\. it should be whoever builds the php version for ubuntu | 04:14 |
| * Len1nbarracuda Hola | 04:14 | |
| freddy_engels | stickboy: Yeah, but you should backup anyway. | 04:15 |
| rdw200169_ | freddy_engels: you don't need to sudo that | 04:15 |
| myk_robinson | this didnt occur until i messed with "desktop effects" under appearance. Before, i had eveyrthing set fine using CCSM. not sure why it wont initialize properly now | 04:15 |
| n8tuser | freddy_engels-> you cant from the client side, you have to get in to the server side | 04:15 |

| oldmuttonhead | Hi everyone! | 04:15 |
| Cmclean | Just an open question..... How hard is it to run a webserver off a non-server Ubuntu computer? And will it be like renting space from a host? | 04:15 |
| n8tuser | schnoowork-> you may get a clearer answer though if you are in the correct channel | 04:15 |
| seronis | cmclean: 10 minute easy | 04:16 |
| blinkn1 | Imfang:its 512 kilobits per second and 62 kilobytes per seconds. 8bits make 1 byte | 04:16 |
| badfish69 | is 'gdb pidgin | /home/myname/Desktop/pidgin.txt' an acceptable execution of this line?: 'gdb <program> 2>&1 | tee gdb-<program>.txt' ? | 04:16 |

| seronis | 10 minutes will get apache, mysql, php up and running | 04:16 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: yeah, i was talking about this with jimmy01, and yes, it's simply a matter of installing apache, and all that, via apt-get | 04:16 |

| Cmclean | 1 sec | 04:17 |
| seronis | Cmclean: depends, its a web server. it will run web pages and handle php properly | 04:17 |

| mefistofeles | Hi, just wondering if there's a way to get fortran's g77 compiler in ubuntu intrepid 8.10, thanks | 04:19 |
| seronis | Cmclean: work with what? you edit your web pages the same way you would anywhere. a text editor or WYSIWYG editor for the pages | 04:19 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: beyond setting up the correct permissions for where you store the webpages (i.e. web-data) and editting the apache files regarding where the sites are located and stuff, not a big deal | 04:19 |
| seronis | the isntructions are here http://www.bluenoseddog.co.uk/2008/09/how-to-setup-a-test-ubuntu-webserver-lamp-in-10-minutes/ | 04:19 |
| n8tuser | oldmuttonhead-> verify with xdpyinfo | 04:19 |
| badfish69 | how do i make gdb report on pidgin to /home/myname/Desktop/pidgin.txt in terminal? | 04:19 |
| Cmclean | thx | 04:19 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: if you really hate the terminal that much, you can run and manage an apache installation using webmin, but | 04:19 |
| giacomo | how can I "stop" ubuntu upgrading a certain package? | 04:19 |
| n8tuser | oldmuttonhead-> also if you have ddcprobe you can use that to verify | 04:19 |
| Cmclean | ah yes | 04:19 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: it's a bigger pain according to me | 04:19 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: i prefer doing it on the cmd line | 04:20 |
| phoenix | hi | 04:20 |
| Cmclean | also what's the diff between running on a server or a GUI? Speed? | 04:20 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: and, when you deal with things related to server stuff, it's often the case that the best way to get things done is on the terminal | 04:20 |
| n8tuser | badfish69-> gdb as in debugger? | 04:20 |
| badfish69 | n8tuser: yes | 04:20 |
| zx | soft | 04:20 |
| oldmuttonhead | xdpyinfo says 1280 x 800 | 04:20 |
| seronis | Cmclean: the webserver doesnt run with a gui. its a 'service' | 04:20 |
| Cmclean | yes I know but like I=n00b | 04:20 |
| genii-around | Cmclean: The server kernel is also especially tweaked for serving | 04:20 |
| badfish69 | n8tuser: having a constant crash problem with msn, would like to get it to the code monkeys | 04:20 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: this relates to the opinion held by most, if not all, server gurus that the command line is the most reliable and safe | 04:20 |
| Cmclean | i meant normal GUI version of 8.10 | 04:20 |
| n8tuser | badfish69-> i dont know off hand, but i suggest man gdb | 04:21 |
| n8tuser | badfish69-> also you can use strace or ltrace to help you out too | 04:21 |

| Cmclean | yes | 04:21 |
| rdw200169_ | Cmclean: yeah, that's what i'm talking about, the point i'm trying to make, is that there's no 'gtk' tool for administering an apache webserver | 04:21 |

| bucket529 | mefistofeles: g77 is already in the repos. | 04:22 |
| seronis | this == november. so yes 8.10 is avialable | 04:22 |
| mefistofeles | n8tuser, bucket529 its not | 04:22 |

| J-_ | KoFish: ..... | 04:23 |
| bucket529 | mefistofeles: Aha. It ended with Hardy. One sec... | 04:23 |
| J-_ | whoops. | 04:23 |
| NeoGeo64 | 8.04 had no problem | 04:24 |
| n8tuser | mefistofeles-> apt-cache search fortran see if anything shows up, you were using g77.. try this | 04:24 |
| J-_ | komputes: ...thanks. | 04:24 |
| aaron_ | Is this the right place to ask about gnome screenlets? | 04:24 |
| mefistofeles | n8tuser, bucket529 they say "use gfortran", but fotran 95 is not the same as 77. And some apps need 77 only. So Im kind of stuck | 04:24 |
| komputes | np | 04:24 |
| rdw200169_ | NeoGeo64: NetworkManager is still in heavy development | 04:24 |
| Cmclean | Umm TOTALLY random but where is a good guide to IRC??? | 04:24 |
| NeoGeo64 | so why implement it then | 04:24 |
| NeoGeo64 | seriously | 04:24 |
| NeoGeo64 | it *doesnt* work | 04:24 |
| mefistofeles | n8tuser, I've tried, there is no g77 in intrepid | 04:24 |
| mefistofeles | at least on offical repos | 04:24 |
| rdw200169_ | NeoGeo64: it's the best way to get wireless working right, wireless has always been notorious for being difficult, i.e. iwconfig | 04:24 |
| n8tuser | mefistofeles-> then maybe you have to go back to using hardy or gutsy | 04:24 |
| NeoGeo64 | im using wired | 04:24 |
| bucket529 | mefistofeles: You can always download the g77 deb from Debian. | 04:24 |
| unique | cannot connect to ad hoc mod | 04:25 |
| unique | mode | 04:25 |
| rdw200169_ | NeoGeo64: yeah, most of the work related to NetworkManager is related to wireless, it stinks for wired | 04:25 |
| mefistofeles | bucket529, debian doesnt have it as well, thats probably why ubuntu also doesnt | 04:25 |
| Cmclean | Um random complete guide to IRC? | 04:25 |
| n8tuser | unique-> if your driver does not support it, then it wont connect | 04:25 |

| rdw200169_ | NeoGeo64: you can test the configuration using the cmd line tools, ifup, ifdown | 04:26 |

| sri | cmdrsmith: first, turn off your caps lock. | 04:38 |
| komputes | Cmclean: the interface in pidgin is not very good for IRC, but if you only like joining one channel it may be ok, but X-Chat has many more options. | 04:38 |
| gaara | komputes: no it did not ask me to install packages from cd...the dvd is basically the ubuntu8.10 dvd... | 04:38 |
| sri | cmdrsmith: it creates a bad first impression, it's like someone coming into the room and shouting. | 04:38 |

| cmdrsmith | sorry but i am freaking out | 04:39 |
| bucket529 | mefistofeles: With the g77n deb, you should -in theory- be good until you need something that depends on gfortran...or until it get uninstalled by your next release update. | 04:39 |
| genii-around | fryguy: If you have X forwarding enabled in your ssh on the server you can just do the startx inside an ssh session | 04:39 |
| tsedreyt | So I am trying to load my programs, I run "sudo dpkg --set-selections /home/package.selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade" and get that --set-selections does not take any argument, what am I going wrong? Thanks for the help. | 04:39 |
| WelshDragon | Cmclean, xchat | 04:39 |

| Guido | hello | 04:41 |
| genii-around | fryguy: The basic Q is if you want the server to be running the X and then sending the result to your remote box, or if you want X to be running on the client and just forwarding the X app from the server to it | 04:41 |

| ubottu | Guest87642, please see my private message | 04:43 |
| fryguy | Guest87642: /msg nickserv help and that should walk you through the basics of getting your nickname set up on this server | 04:43 |
| needhelpnoob | im guessing since the livecd uses ram | 04:44 |
| tsedreyt | Usser or WelshDragon : any ideas? | 04:44 |
| ezzieyguywuf | needhelpnoob: because the livecd is already in your cd-drive and needs to remain there for the os to remain running, so you can't insert a blank disc | 04:44 |

| ezzieyguywuf | needhelpnoob: whats the error | 04:44 |
| needhelpnoob | let me check | 04:44 |
| genii-around | fryguy: You can run X on a headless box and forward the results to a machine which is not headless. The work is done on the headless server. You can also run an X server on the client which then remotely stored X apps from the server can be shunted to and ran. etc etc | 04:44 |
| usser | tsedreyt, never done that hang on i'll check how it works | 04:45 |
| ezzieyguywuf | can anyone help my with my rhytmbox problem? i try to play a CD and get the following error : gstreamer error, state change failed | 04:45 |
| cmdrsmith | I cant get back my Network icon for the networks | 04:45 |

| tsedreyt | thanks guys | 04:45 |
| WelshDragon | tsedreyt, Did that work? | 04:45 |
| fryguy | genii-around: the X client runs on the headless box, and forwards the result to an X server that has a display and input devices. How do I start X client on the headless box so that gnome can run inside of it | 04:45 |
| needhelpnoob | ezzieyguywuf: it just says there was an error writing to disk | 04:45 |
| freddy_engels | cmdrsmith, what do you mean? | 04:45 |
| exmachina | ugh wtf it seems like all .exes on my mounted dvd iso is a "BAD EXE" format | 04:45 |
| ezzieyguywuf | needhelpnoob: probably its not a writable disk then? | 04:46 |
| joanki123 | i'm using ubuntu and my printer suddenly stopped printing - any help? suggestions? | 04:46 |
| needhelpnoob | ezzieyguywuf: nope, ubuntu is detecting it as a writable disk | 04:46 |
| ezzieyguywuf | joanki123: is there a paper jam? | 04:46 |
| tsedreyt | yeah that + the othre half of my command worked, thanks a lot welshdragon | 04:46 |
| tsedreyt | and thanks usser for the thought | 04:46 |
| tsedreyt | I really appreciate it guys | 04:46 |
| needhelpnoob | ezzieyguywuf: and i set it to write on my 2nd dvd writer | 04:46 |
| joanki123 | no, my printer icon doesnn't even come up ezzieyguywuf | 04:46 |
| WelshDragon | tsedreyt, Cool, you're welcome =) | 04:46 |
| ezzieyguywuf | needhelpnoob: i'm sorry then, i don't know what the problem might be | 04:46 |
| freddy_engels | cmdrsmith, if you mean there is no NetworkManager icon, you can easily add it back by right-clicking the panel and finding it | 04:46 |
| joanki123 | the one that normally does when i print something | 04:46 |
| needhelpnoob | ezzieyguywuf: could it be something to do with the fact that livecd is loaded on ram and has no temp file to use? | 04:46 |
| cmdrsmith | freddy it aint there | 04:47 |
| ezzieyguywuf | eh, it could very well be | 04:47 |
| joanki123 | ezzieyguywuf, any suggestions? | 04:47 |
| usser | tsedreyt, try that cat /home/package.selections | sudo dpkg --set-selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade | 04:47 |

| Dominik | hi I just changed to an xfce session, how come my taskbars are different, and can I no longer use the same gnome applets? | 04:47 |
| joanki123 | ezzieyguywuf, but it was working just earlier today? | 04:48 |
| cmdrsmith | i cant see what network i am on | 04:48 |
| cmdrsmith | this is bad | 04:48 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Dominik: its because your in xfce, which is not gnome. does that make sense? | 04:48 |
| mindrape | Dominik - well... the obvious answer would be gnome is not xfce | 04:48 |
| akahig1 | got a partitioning issue that I need to fix and I need some advice... my boot partition is too small to upgrade to Ibex. I have the space to delete the fs then recreate it larger (from the live CD), but I don't know how to reinstall grub and get everything back working again... | 04:48 |
| joanki123 | WEIRD i printed a testpage, ezzieyguywuf and that works, but ooffice won't print | 04:48 |
| ezzieyguywuf | joanki123: oh...weird. maybe your usb cable is bunk? | 04:48 |
| mindrape | cmdrsmith - sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 04:48 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob, Maybe try a different liveCD distro? knoppix or puppylinux would maybe be good | 04:48 |
| fryguy | genii-around: or is gnome itself (specifically gnome-session), an X client that implements the X protocol, and there is no need to run an X client around gnome, and whoever told me so was wrong? | 04:48 |
| Dominik | ezzieguywuf: so my desktop settings are completly different too? | 04:48 |
| joanki123 | it works , ezzieyguywuf for the test page | 04:48 |
| ezzieyguywuf | joanki123: wow, that is weird. | 04:48 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: i would but atm i dont have any other OS to write a dvd with | 04:48 |
| mindrape | Dominik: basically, yes... it's a different desktop environment. | 04:49 |
| fryguy | genii-around: is gnome an X client, or does it run inside of one? | 04:49 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: do you know how i can delete windows folders? i tried using rm -rf and it woudlnt let me | 04:49 |
| GuidoGTP | Thank you for the help on registering my nick | 04:49 |
| Dominik | mindrape: don't quite understand that concept, but xfce is amazing fast :) | 04:49 |
| thiebaude | !x | 04:49 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 04:49 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Dominik: what do you mean? i'm trying to say that its a different desktop environment which uses different settings, so your gnome settings won't work. it has its own way of displaying bars etccc and the gnome-applets won't work (i don't think) | 04:49 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob, you could try writing damn smalll linux to a USB drive and try burning the CD from there? | 04:49 |
| mindrape | Dominik - XFCE is like a stripped down Gnome or KDE. If you want even faster than that you can go for fluxbox. | 04:49 |
| fryguy | thiebaude: we are talking about remote X servers, that factoid isn't applicable here. | 04:50 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: thanks for the suggestion.. i may try it out | 04:50 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob, did it give an error message? | 04:50 |
| usser | Dominik, or openbox | 04:50 |
| Dominik | mindrape: fluxbox, is that for ubuntu? | 04:50 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: i'll paste in a second. one moment | 04:50 |

| GuidoGTP | Anyone know if I can use my DYNEX wireless network adapter with ubuntu.... I just installed it and would like to get onto the internet... | 04:50 |
| thiebaude | sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 04:51 |
| mindrape | Dominik - fluxbox, openbox, icewm... there are differences between Desktop Environments (XFCE, Gnome, KDE and now enlightenment) and Window Managers (icewm, fluxbox, openbox, etc) | 04:51 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: this is what i get: rm: cannot remove directory `/media/disk/WINDOWS1/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a': Operation not supported | 04:51 |
| caiphn | mindrape: It stated back "unknown hardware address type 801, and the wireless icon in the top right did not re-appear. The essid, is that a value I'm supposed to put in or is it just essid? | 04:51 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: basically "operation not supported" | 04:51 |
| mindrape | caiphn - man iwconfig it will tell you the paramters you can pass. | 04:51 |
| freddy_engels | what kind of filesystem is the windows partition? FAT32 or NTFS? | 04:51 |

| caiphn | Sorry, I'm new to this, I don't know. | 04:52 |
| caiphn | I'll check with that.\ | 04:52 |
| needhelpnoob | any ideas? | 04:52 |
| mindrape | caiphn - pull up an xterm and type that command in. | 04:52 |
| cmdrsmith | if i put in the command nm-applet -enable | 04:52 |

| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: it let me delete the majority of the folder. just a few that i suspect have windows viruses in them | 04:54 |
| mindrape | Dominik - go read up on the XFCE, Gnome, and KDE sites... each of them have different features and have various levels of configurability... pick the one that works for you. You can also go to their channels #XFCE, #Gnome, #KDE and ask more detailed questions or get specific help. | 04:54 |
| caiphn | I have a wlan0:avahi and wmaster0 | 04:54 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob:Hm... | 04:54 |
| kanhiya78 | this is community | 04:55 |
| freddy_engels | The files you suspect are viruses are not getting deleted? | 04:55 |
| psynophile | Here's my question: I have an eSATA controller installed in a PCI-E slot. When I try to boot the machine, ubuntu doesn't detect ANY drives, not even /dev/sda. Same thing happens with the boot/install/live disk. Thing is, if i turn the RAID box that I have attached to the eSATA controller OFF, then ubuntu works fine. When I turn it on after ubuntu is loaded, then it detects all of the drives. Help? | 04:55 |
| mindrape | caiphn - pull open an xterm and run tail -f /var/log/messages .... leave it open and watch for the next time your wireless fails. | 04:55 |
| mindrape | caiphn - also... pull open an xterm and type dmesg see if you get hardware failures in there too. | 04:55 |
| Dominik | mindrape: im running on 460 megs and 800 mhz, I need very light environment | 04:55 |
| mindrape | caiphn - you will need sudo in front of the tail -f command. | 04:55 |
| thiebaude | kanhiya78:if someone knows the answer to your question they will have an answer | 04:56 |
| mindrape | Dominik - well then go with a no frills window manager but don't complain about its lack of features. | 04:56 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: yes | 04:56 |
| myles7897 | help, my times font is messed up. I've tried reinstalling msttcorefonts and nothing. Can someone help? http://i37.tinypic.com/jzjmue.png | 04:56 |
| Dominik | mindrape: I see. : ) | 04:56 |
| kanhiya78 | thiebaude: oh rally | 04:56 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: i suspect that to be the case. since it let me delete everything but certain folders such as "temp/cookies" etc | 04:56 |
| thiebaude | domink:i use fluxbox and have all the features of gnome | 04:57 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob: Can you perform any operations on those files? | 04:57 |

| fryguy | thiebaude: how is that possible? | 04:58 |
| abchirk | thiebaude and what is with xfce4. has fluxbox more settings then xfce4? I miss on xfce4 e.g. the drag&drop options | 04:58 |
| unfo | myles7897: I don't understand. | 04:58 |
| abortd | fluxbox is just a window manager right? | 04:58 |
| kanhiya78 | how to find what graphics card i am using | 04:58 |
| mindrape | alex_mayorga: sudo ifconfig... what is your IP? Did you grab a 169.x.x.x address? | 04:58 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob: what does "ls -l" say? | 04:58 |
| myles7897 | unfo, ,my school requires times new roman font. unless you know of a font that looks pretty much the same... | 04:58 |
| thiebaude | fryguy:all the programs i have on gnome i run in fluxbox | 04:58 |
| unfo | kanhiya78: why do you want to know? :) | 04:58 |
| abchirk | kanhiya78 lspci | grep vga | 04:58 |
| psynophile | unfo: his font is set to "Times New Roman" but the type is some decorative font...lol, no idea how he managed to do that | 04:58 |
| unfo | myles7897: use Times instead. | 04:58 |
| mindrape | kanhiya78 - lsmod will tell you what module is loaded. | 04:58 |
| caiphn | mindrape: dmesg does not report any hardware failures that I can see, it does have quite a lengthy list here though. It does state that wlan0: link is not ready at the very end of it, but nothing that pertails to wireless... it also says that 8187B chip detected | 04:58 |
| fryguy | thiebaude: so you run gnome with a different window manager? | 04:58 |
| firestorm | Hi there. I am not running gnome's WM (metacity). Am using fluxbox but want to load gnome's keyboard controls which include multimedia keys etc. How can I do that? | 04:58 |
| caiphn | and that support is experminetal, but I don't imagine that has anything to do with the wireless | 04:58 |

| snigapoe | how to get the times new roman font into ubuntu??? | 04:59 |
| alex_mayorga | mindrape: it gets an IP 192.168.1.115 | 04:59 |
| caiphn | pertails = pertains | 04:59 |
| myles7897 | don't have times. link to download? | 04:59 |
| thiebaude | fryguy:yes exactly, because i only have 512 mb of ram | 04:59 |
| mindrape | caiphn - is it a usb wireless card? pci? pcmcia? | 04:59 |
| unfo | snigapoe: are you myles7897? | 04:59 |
| kanhiya78 | unfo: i am using laptop and i have screen reolution problem | 04:59 |
| caiphn | USB | 04:59 |
| abortd | psynophile: probably renamed his font to times new roman or whatever you said | 04:59 |
| alex_mayorga | mindrape: the router/AP is on 192.168.1.1 | 04:59 |
| unfo | kanhiya78: what is your entire problem? Do not tell me, tell the whole channel. | 04:59 |
| mindrape | snigapoe: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 04:59 |
| abchirk | kanhiya78 sorry lspci | grep -i vga | 04:59 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> paste in pastebin your route -rn and /etc/resolv.conf | 05:00 |
| caiphn | I'm goin to restart the system and use the tail command. I'm also going to look around for a glossary so I can start figuring out what these commands are doing | 05:00 |
| mindrape | alex_mayorga: sudo iwconfig pastebin the text for me to read. | 05:00 |
| psynophile | fallore_: maybe sudo aptitude -y reinstall msttcorefonts ? | 05:00 |
| fryguy | thiebaude: i just don't run gnome on most of my machines because I seldom have a need for the features. I do on one machine though, which is the question i've been asking that I can't seem to get an answer for | 05:00 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: any suggestions? :D | 05:00 |
| snigapoe | if i got some other font in window how can i copy them into ubuntu?? | 05:00 |
| unfo | snigapoe: why do you want to? | 05:00 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob: you're doing this as root, right? | 05:00 |
| psynophile | snigapoe: it depends, are they truetype fonts? | 05:00 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser: route: invalid option -- 'r' | 05:00 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: yes | 05:00 |
| alex_mayorga | !patebin | 05:01 |
| snigapoe | not sure..coz i keept in window quiet long ago | 05:01 |
| metrick | How do you mount .iso files on ubuntu? i have 8.10 | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about patebin | 05:01 |
| thiebaude | fryguy:i might have missed your original question | 05:01 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> route -n | 05:01 |
| snigapoe | few of them is chinese font | 05:01 |
| fryguy | I'm trying to run gnome on a remote x server. Someone told me I need to install an x client for gnome to run in. What client is this and how do I install it? | 05:01 |
| unfo | myles7897: ok, use Serif. Do you have a serif font on your computer? | 05:01 |
| gluonman | If someone is familiar with synergy, it would be cool if you could check out my predicament. The tutorial I'm following is at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto and I just created .synergy.conf. But when I issue the following command: synergys -f --config synergy.conf, I get the output pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/71195/ | 05:01 |
| snigapoe | which i require to use it | 05:01 |
| alex_mayorga | !patebin | 05:01 |
| mindrape | unfo - please stop trolling by the way by asking people "why they want to know" the answer to their questions... | 05:01 |
| psynophile | metrick sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso/file.iso /where/you/want/to/mount/it | 05:01 |
| thiebaude | fryguy:yea, i wish i could help, i dont even know what a x-server is | 05:02 |
| unfo | mindrape: how is that trolling? Most people should never need Microsoft Times New Roman. | 05:02 |
| freddy_engels | needhelpnoob, No, I'm not certain what to do. | 05:02 |
| mindrape | unfo - you, sir, are and idiot. | 05:02 |
| elitist | heloo | 05:02 |
| psynophile | try FreeSerif instead of Times New Roman | 05:02 |
| needhelpnoob | freddy_engels: ok thanks for helping anyway | 05:02 |
| psynophile | I prefer it | 05:02 |
| n8tuser | mindrape-> kindly tone it down please | 05:02 |
| mindrape | unfo - most developers code stylesheets to request specific fonts and dont always list generic fonts like serif and sanserif | 05:02 |
| unfo | mindrape: they don't specify graceful degradations? | 05:03 |
| mindrape | n8tuser - scroll up and read his comments to everybody... if you want to tell somebody to tone it down direct it at him. | 05:03 |
| mindrape | unfo - not in all instances... lurk more on the internet and you'll know this. | 05:03 |
| ditch64 | K i have a 64 bit AMD processor, is there going to be a big difference if i run the 32 bit version as opposed to the 64 bit version? | 05:03 |
| fryguy | ditch64: no | 05:03 |
| mindrape | unfo - there are plenty of sites out there that list ONLY arial, times new roman, etc... | 05:03 |
| rdw200169_ | ditch64: i agree, no | 05:03 |
| metrick | Im not to sure how mounting works, but i want to mount an iso image i have then copy it to a partition | 05:03 |
| unfo | mindrape: and does Ubuntu not substitute in FreeSerif? | 05:03 |
| unfo | firestorm: what key did you press? what did you expect should happen? what happened? | 05:03 |
| rdw200169_ | metrick: that's easy, mount -o loop file.iso /directory/to/mount | 05:04 |
| mindrape | unfo - ubuntu has made the msttcorefonts package available. Stop trolling. /rant | 05:04 |
| psynophile | metrick: it's more complex than that b/c you have a boot sector and ISO types, what are you trying to do? | 05:04 |
| needhelpnoob | can anyone help me force delete a folder? (rm -rf does not work) | 05:04 |
| alex_mayorga | mindrape, n8tuser, http://paste.ubuntu.com/71203/ and thanks BTW | 05:04 |
| daaaman64 | Hi all, I need a tool to shrink my current ubuntu partition, and add a new one. | 05:04 |
| fryguy | daaaman64: gparted | 05:04 |
| unfo | myles7897: repeat: ok, use Serif. Do you have a serif font on your computer? | 05:04 |
| thiebaude | unfo:they sure have | 05:04 |
| daaaman64 | I can't remember if you can do this. | 05:04 |
| needhelpnoob | daaaman64: use gparted | 05:04 |
| mindrape | unfo -why do you want to know why people want to know? (how would you like if I asked you this same idiotic question every time you asked them that?) | 05:04 |
| daaaman64 | gparted? alrighty thanks. I need to install windows for something. | 05:04 |
| ditch64 | thank you | 05:04 |
| unfo | mindrape: because most people do not actually need msttcorefonts. | 05:04 |
| mindrape | unfo - well plenty of people want it and a package is available. Clearly there is a need. | 05:05 |
| fryguy | daaaman64: consider running windows in a virtual machine. It might be a better option for you | 05:05 |
| unfo | snigapoe: did you try FreeSerif? | 05:05 |
| daaaman64 | fryguy, been there done that. This doesn't run good enough. | 05:05 |
| mindrape | just because you don't know doesn't mean a need doesn't exist. | 05:05 |
| psynophile | metrick: if you're just trying to get the files out of it, i think that you can just right click the ISO and extract all... | 05:05 |
| daaaman64 | Thanks though | 05:05 |
| snigapoe | nope... | 05:05 |
| needhelpnoob | can anyone help me force delete a folder? (rm -rf does not work) | 05:05 |
| unfo | mindrape: many people who use the package don't need the package. | 05:05 |
| snigapoe | anyway resolve later | 05:05 |
| rdw200169_ | daaaman64: and there are a few free virtual machines that will do it | 05:05 |
| snigapoe | gtg now.. | 05:05 |
| snigapoe | thanks for your help | 05:05 |
| mindrape | unfo - many who do do | 05:05 |
| FloodBot3 | snigapoe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:05 |
| needhelpnoob | can anyone help me force delete a folder? (rm -rf does not work) | 05:05 |
| psynophile | needhelpnoob: sudo rm -rf | 05:05 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> do not have both wireless and ethernet connected to same router as your host does not know which interface it will route traffic (it may try both?) | 05:05 |
| firestorm | unfo: tried the Fn+vol up (hotkeyed with the UP arrow)... in gnome/metacity this will change volume up | 05:05 |
| metrick | I saved the iso image from my Windows CD, and my windows doesnt work anymore so i need to figuer out how to boot from that iso image | 05:05 |
| fryguy | why is everyone repeating what I say like 10 seconds later? am I lagging really badly or something? | 05:05 |
| needhelpnoob | psynophile: i used sudo | 05:06 |
| daaaman64 | rdw200169, yes thanks. I use virtual box, unfortunately, this is a game building program my school gave out. | 05:06 |
| needhelpnoob | psynophile: it did not work | 05:06 |
| mindrape | unfo - there are perfectly good reasons to be able to use the same fonts when viewing/editing documents or webpages, especially for print purposes. | 05:06 |
| psynophile | metrick: burn it to a cd? | 05:06 |
| needhelpnoob | can anyone help me force delete a folder? (sudo rm -rf does not work) | 05:06 |
| snigapoe | wao...the way i type consider as flood?? | 05:06 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, the problem would occur even when I'm not wired to the router | 05:06 |
| mindrape | needhelpnoob - what error do you get? | 05:06 |
| psynophile | needhelpnoob: what's the name of the file or folder? | 05:06 |
| daaaman64 | is there a way to install windows with out it runnin gover my bootloader? :( | 05:06 |
| rdw200169_ | mindrape: unfo, yes, not to mention compatibility for wine | 05:06 |
| fryguy | daaaman64: no | 05:06 |
| mindrape | rdw200169 - exactly. | 05:06 |
| unfo | daaaman64: yes. you need VirtualBox. You will not have 3D or DirectX support in Windows. | 05:06 |
| needhelpnoob | this is the error i get: rm: cannot remove directory `/media/disk/WINDOWS1/assembly/GAC_32/sd/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a': Operation not supported | 05:06 |
| metrick | Psynophile: I dont have a cd burner T_T | 05:07 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> well, just have one interface up at a time..it may confuse your routing | 05:07 |
| needhelpnoob | i have write permission | 05:07 |
| needhelpnoob | read/write permission] | 05:07 |
| psynophile | needhelpnoob: that's on a windows partition, why do you need to delete it? | 05:07 |
| mindrape | needhelpnoob: /media is a mount point | 05:07 |
| daaaman64 | unfo, I'm using virtualbox, the games I'm creating run like crap in it. | 05:07 |
| unfo | daaaman64: ah. | 05:07 |
| mindrape | needhelpnoob - umount it instead of deleting it. | 05:07 |
| needhelpnoob | psynophile: it has a virus on it | 05:07 |
| needhelpnoob | psynophile: so i need to delete | 05:07 |
| mindrape | needhelpnoob - df -Th that will show you what device it is and it's mount point. man umount. | 05:07 |
| daaaman64 | fryguy, does ubuntu have a grub restoring programming that I can use if I boot from the disc? | 05:07 |
| rdw200169_ | daaaman64: rock on with the partition shrink then | 05:07 |
| fryguy | daaaman64: sort of | 05:07 |
| usser | daaaman64, try vmware workstation it has 3d support | 05:07 |
| fryguy | !grub | daaaman64 | 05:07 |
| ubottu | daaaman64: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:07 |
| needhelpnoob | mindrape: i want to delete the folder since it has a virus on it | 05:08 |
| unfo | usser: are you 100% sure? I doubt the 3D support works perfectly. | 05:08 |
| daaaman64 | thanks fryguy | 05:08 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, when I'm only wireless I get associated to the AP, but the only IP I can ping it's the IP assigned by DHCP, not the router, not any other host or site, any ideas | 05:08 |
| mindrape | needhelpnoob - well umount it then when you mount it dont mount it read only (ro).... check your /etc/fstab to see if it is set to automount and remove the ro option. | 05:08 |
| jonathon | i have a file i need to isntall but can only be done as it is .tar i can not find any others for it, as i had 5 people help me find an easy install so i must compile it from source, can anyone help me? | 05:08 |
| unfo | firestorm: you are on an extremely high-traffic channel. Please repeat your question as a full question. Make sure that, all on one line, you specify: your Ubuntu version, what key you pressed, what you wanted to happen, and what actually happened. Prefix your question with "all, unfo, ". | 05:08 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> your wifi seems associated, can you also paste your ifconfig -a results? | 05:08 |
| fryguy | unfo: it came out in the most recent version of vmware, it's still very experimental, and pretty useless still | 05:08 |
| usser | unfo, i ran max payne 2 in workstation on nvidia 8600 worked fine | 05:08 |
| unfo | so who is right? fryguy or usser? | 05:09 |
| psynophile | needhelpnoob: windows uses a file system called NTFS, it's proprietary, there's only experimental support for writing to NTFS partitions in linux. You can READ all day long, but writing is more difficult.... | 05:09 |
| needhelpnoob | mindrape: mind giving me instructions on how to unmount? | 05:09 |
| giacomo | anybody with the "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" error? | 05:09 |
| Flannel | psynophile: Actually, ntfs-3g is stable now | 05:09 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> once you are associated, compare the route -n results in wifi and what you get when only using ethernet | 05:09 |
| daaaman64 | fryguy, I"ve tried it an vmware also :( no luck | 05:09 |
| needhelpnoob | psynophile: i know. but i was able to delete other files in the folder | 05:09 |
| psynophile | Flannel: really? awesome | 05:09 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71206/ | 05:09 |
| mindrape | needhelpnoob - /msg me and I'll give you some step by step instructions. | 05:09 |
| usser | fryguy, unfo in 6.5 of workstation(the latest) it was released. I tried a couple of games they seemed to run with no problem | 05:09 |
| needhelpnoob | mindrape: did you get my msg? | 05:10 |
| usser | daaaman64, you probably tried vmware server, 3d support only availabe on non-free workstation | 05:10 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> it seems to be okay, the metric for your wireless is 2 while 1 for eth0 | 05:11 |
| fryguy | I'm trying to run gnome on a remote x server. Someone told me I need to install an x client for gnome to run in. What client is this and how do I install it? | 05:11 |
| psynophile | well, i doubt that anyone can help me, but here's my question again: | 05:11 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, so I just unplug the ethernet and do route -n? | 05:11 |
| unfo | fryguy: why not just use vino instead of remote X? | 05:11 |
| unfo | vino is easier. | 05:12 |
| alex_mayorga | I'm pretty certain I would get dropped from the net, what else do you want me to try? | 05:12 |
| fryguy | unfo: what is vino | 05:12 |
| psynophile | Here's my question: I have an eSATA controller installed in a PCI-E slot. When I try to boot the machine, ubuntu doesn't detect ANY drives, not even /dev/sda. Same thing happens with the boot/install/live disk. Thing is, if i turn the RAID box that I have attached to the eSATA controller OFF, then ubuntu works fine. When I turn it on after ubuntu is loaded, then it detects all of the drives. Help? | 05:12 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> yah, but always start from clean, either eth0 only or wlan0 only | 05:12 |
| mynous | hwo do you find out what version of iptables you are running? | 05:12 |

| kingsofleon | anyone know of a good tutorial for packaging .deb files or on where files should be located etc? | 05:13 |
| fryguy | unfo: vino won't work in my situation. do you have a solution to the question as asked? | 05:13 |
| unfo | kingsofleon: what are you packaging? | 05:13 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, do I need to reboot then or just unplug? | 05:13 |
| unfo | fryguy: no :( anyone? | 05:13 |
| Flannel | kingsofleon: Check the topic in #ubuntu-motu | 05:13 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> no need to reboot, you can use sudo ifdown eth0 to disable | 05:14 |
| unfo | kingsofleon: repeat : what are you packaging? | 05:15 |

| caiphn | mindrape: Hi, so should something be happening? | 05:16 |
| unfo | psynophile: please repeat your original question, then I will answer your last question. | 05:16 |
| psynophile | Here's my question: I have an eSATA controller installed in a PCI-E slot. When I try to boot the machine, ubuntu doesn't detect ANY drives, not even /dev/sda. Same thing happens with the boot/install/live disk. Thing is, if i turn the RAID box that I have attached to the eSATA controller OFF, then ubuntu works fine.

| unfo | psynophile: is it a server machine? | 05:17 |
| caiphn | mindrape: When the Wireless connecction dropped, should something have occured? | 05:17 |
| Flannel | psynophile: You should try the Alternate CD | 05:17 |
| psynophile | unfo: not really... | 05:17 |
| psynophile | Flannel: why? | 05:17 |
| mindrape | caiphn - yes... lsusb | 05:17 |
| Flannel | psynophile: Because it provides support for RAID/LVM/etc while installing. | 05:17 |
| mindrape | is it still listed in there? | 05:17 |
| exmachina | how come when i do lsmod | grep CDemu nothing shows up even though i restarted it with /etc/init.d/cdemud restart (sucessfully) | 05:18 |

| thiebaude | whileimhere:htop | 05:20 |
| psynophile | whileimhere: yea, should be | 05:20 |

| needhelpnoob | whatever the livecd offers | 05:54 |
| djhash | matthias: or tools->preferences->video.. then change output to X11.. | 05:55 |
| phoenix24 | unfo, I'm a lazy geek with lots of time at disposal. | 05:55 |
| raheem | the live cd offers everything, so which one u selected ? | 05:55 |

| Trae | anyone know how to lock a window in metacity so it won't move until you unlock it? I'm playing World of Warcraft under Wine, and trying to keep from moving the window around the screen accidently (playing in windowed mode) | 05:55 |
| phoenix24 | unfo, well there are other reasons too. 1, performance. 2, feature. etc. | 05:55 |

| needhelpnoob | raheem: any ideas? | 05:56 |
| raheem | !grub | 05:56 |
| mindrape | unfo - nobody should have to suffer through you questioning why they want to do something when they come to get support. | 05:56 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:56 |
| djhash | matthias: now try playing a movie | 05:56 |
| VPS|KDE | you could try 'locate stage' if that file is new, you might have to do 'sudo updatedb' first | 05:56 |
| matthias | djhash: let me try ... | 05:56 |
| grendal_prime | bazhang_: can you get an ip for me? | 05:56 |
| unfo | phoenix24: I don't know the exact command you need, but it is something like sudo apt-get build-dep eclipse -yq && apt-get source eclipse -yqb | 05:56 |
| needhelpnoob | thanks VPS|KDE | 05:56 |
| mindrape | unfo - just because you have preconceived notions and preferences doesn't mean the rest of the world shares them. | 05:56 |
| VPS|KDE | yw | 05:56 |
| grendal_prime | it is not resloving for whatever reason | 05:56 |

| === Guest51797 is now known as Sinister | ||
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga1-> after the mods, you just have to type /etc/init.d/network restart no need to reboot | 06:06 |

| Flannel | unfo: Please don't give bad answers, if they are tongue in cheek | 06:06 |
| drumstyk1 | nite_johnboy: can't you just click on your name in the top right and select "shutdown"? | 06:06 |
| drunk | i've configured my /etc/network/interfaces file Flannel crashatau... used auto eth0 inet static and added an address line with an IP and a subnet line with the subnet mask. ran /etc/init.d/networking restart and when I if config it doesn't list the IP i hardcoded in the interfaces file. am i missing something? | 06:06 |
| Flannel | nite_johnboy: `sudo shutdown -h now` is equivalent to a few things, but that's certainly a way to shut it down. | 06:07 |
| naenae87 | i need a website | 06:07 |
| fryguy | nite_johnboy: if your computer supports acpi and is configured correctly, pressing (not holding) the power button on your computer will bring up a dialog for shutting the machine down safely. If configured correctly, I believe this is the easiest way to shut down a machine | 06:07 |
| naenae87 | that tells me how to do this | 06:07 |
| naenae87 | i got one last time | 06:07 |
| faryshta | drumstyk1, ifconfig | 06:07 |
| naenae87 | oh ya ALEX that comand you gave me did nothing | 06:07 |
| n8tuser | drunk-> look at the interfaces file, the mods you made are still there? | 06:08 |

| djhash | naenae87: when you ran that command.. was the usb wifi card plugged in? | 06:09 |
| unfo | Flannel: good point. | 06:09 |
| unfo | nite_johnboy: press the Shut Down button. How slow is it? Is it especially slow on your PC? | 06:09 |
| drunk | i just leave it blank.. while the verbose start up is going loading network fails.. but i can connect with a systray network manager icon which icons' slightly off color so i don't really mess withit | 06:09 |
| naenae87 | yes | 06:09 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga1-> yeah that looks good, but now you will have both eth0 and wlan0 connected to same router, perhaps comment out one of them | 06:09 |
| djhash | naenae87: is there an LED on the wifi.. to show that its turned on.. when you plug it in.. or does it even not turn on | 06:09 |
| nite_johnboy | Flannel: Thanks - Might try that - Since I upgraded to Ibex - Have to use Ctrl+alt+delete to log out then (2) more steps before I actually select to turn off computer - Kind of annoying ! | 06:10 |

| giacomo | yes unfo | 06:27 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, didn't help | 06:27 |
| giacomo | the same for vlc | 06:27 |
| giacomo | I'm compiling vlc right now | 06:27 |
| fryguy | lgc: "enabled?" is it forwarded to the correct machine? | 06:27 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> what happened? | 06:27 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, I've now removed everything but lo, still no go | 06:27 |

| unfo | giacomo: it is better not to PM without asking first. | 06:28 |
| paul68 | n8tuser: ok thanks | 06:28 |
| unfo | giacomo: let's keep it in channel. | 06:28 |
| fryguy | lgc: the router needs to know what to do with those ssh packets when it sees them | 06:28 |
| giacomo | ok | 06:28 |

| n8tuser | paul68-> you're welcome, good luck | 06:29 |
| jonna | So I'm guessing I just missed all of the broadcom help? | 06:29 |

| [T]ank | i have an shell script i have built and the last command i have in it is /etc/init.d/gdm restart. It brings gdm down but never comes back up. if i just run that command from terminal it works right... what do i do differently in a shell script to make that happen correctly? | 06:29 |
| paul68 | jonna alex_mayorga what version of ubuntu are you working on? | 06:29 |
| lgc | fryguy, can't I suppose the router is doing the correct thing since we are speaking, or is it application-specific? | 06:29 |
| alex_mayorga | 8.10 | 06:29 |
| givemeaname | i need to copy a file from cd to hdd, is there someone who can tell me how to do it with a terminal via sudo command, or to give my user permissions to do it via click and drag? | 06:30 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> me and several others just cant somehow get bcm43xx to work ..thats all, some are able to make it work though | 06:30 |
| fryguy | lgc: you initiated an outgoing connection to irc. ssh is an incoming connection to the router, they behave differently | 06:30 |
| alex_mayorga | how do I reset all my networking configs to a clean state, just in case? | 06:30 |
| rdw200169_ | [T]ank: probably has something to do with the $DISPLAY variable | 06:30 |
| drunk | i use 8.10.. still not sure how i got my linksys wireless card to work, it connects though | 06:30 |
| paul68 | alex_mayorga: can you check in system admin hardware drivers to see if your card is there? | 06:30 |
| unfo | giacomo: that is odd. What have you tried to resolve the problem so far? (For quicker response, write "unfo: " at the beginning of each line you write to me. Otherwise I cannot guarantee any response at all.) | 06:30 |
| lgc | fryguy, okey, so how do I find out. Ifconfig? | 06:30 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, is ndiswraper an option for me? | 06:30 |
| [T]ank | rdw200169_: never messed with that, what do i do different? | 06:30 |
| fryguy | lgc: sure | 06:30 |
| alex_mayorga | paul68, it's there and activated | 06:31 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> a very good possibility yes, ndiswrapper | 06:31 |
| rdw200169_ | [T]ank: just specify that DISPLAY=:0 in your script, that could help | 06:31 |
| alex_mayorga | !ndiswrapper | 06:31 |

| [T]ank | thats it? | 06:31 |
| giacomo | unfo, I've gdb backtrace too | 06:31 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> also try it without encryption too, just to get it going, then you can add it later | 06:31 |
| paul68 | alex_mayorga: ok and what if you check under hidden wifi etwork and you enter your credentials there what is going to happen? | 06:32 |
| alex_mayorga | n8tuser, how do I nuke all so I "start clean"? | 06:32 |
| unfo | giacomo: do you know how to find the key 3 lines of the backtrace? can you tell me them? | 06:32 |
| drunk | giacomo.. theres a way to download virtualbox, the non-OSE edition from the virtualbox website.. download via the .deb file after you remove the OSE version & see if it works | 06:32 |
| lgc | fryguy, 'inet dirección:192.168.1.67 Difusión:192.168.1.255 Máscara:255.255.255.0', as regards eth1. But that is general info, not ssh-specific. | 06:32 |
| n8tuser | alex_mayorga-> what you got now is clean enuff to start off fresh | 06:32 |
| rdw200169_ | [T]ank: yeah, set the environment variable in the scriopt | 06:32 |
| fryguy | lgc: so tell your router to forward port 22 traffic to 192.168.1.67 | 06:32 |
| unfo | drunk: giacomo is having problems with vlc, qtconfig, and keepassx too. | 06:32 |
| judgen | quick check. if "sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward" shows a =1 then forwarding should work? | 06:33 |

| rdw200169_ | judgen: if there's no NAT taking place, the router can't translate the forwarded traffic to the internet | 06:35 |
| unfo | giacomo: no, not that. I mean the "Application 'foo' crashed with signal SIGSEGV at bar.c line 1234", plus the line of code in question. | 06:35 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: because iptables also performs the double-duty of NAT translation, among other things | 06:36 |

| ropetin | metrick: I won't vouch for this 100%, but it looks OK... | 06:43 |
| ropetin | metrick: http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 06:43 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: hmm... i prefer separating them | 06:43 |
| unfo | gluonman: I am not, but try #synergy. Write your whole question on one long long line then wait eight hours. You might get a response, might not. Else try the Synergy mailing list. | 06:43 |
| metrick | ropetin: cool thanks :D | 06:43 |
| givemeaname | how do you become a root user without using the 'sudo'command (aka not in a terminal) | 06:43 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: like I do right now correct | 06:43 |
| gluonman | unfo, okay | 06:44 |
| drunk | alex_mayorga, i think it's part of the network-manager packages | 06:44 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, http://pastebin.com/d613be81f | 06:44 |
| fryguy | givemeaname: if you need it graphically, gksudo or gksu should work, gksudo seems to be preferred | 06:44 |
| unfo | giacomo_: i look | 06:44 |
| iamelite | Hello, i was wondering if anyone knows the most effective way to run windows programs on ubuntu. If anyone has clever advice i am willing to listen and experiment. | 06:44 |
| unfo | giacomo_: what qt libraries have you ever installed? | 06:44 |
| fryguy | iamelite: install windows in a virtual machine or use wine are the 2 primary choices | 06:44 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: lines 140-159, the rest of the FORWARD table, are pointless | 06:45 |
| unfo | iamelite: you forgot to tell us which programs :) | 06:45 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i mean 140-168 | 06:45 |
| lgc | fryguy, I see no option on the router referring to port 22. | 06:45 |
| chmac | Anyone else notice a slight delay when alt-tabbing between windows in intrepid? | 06:45 |
| Appl3Kork | how do you open a tar.bz2 file? | 06:45 |
| iamelite | fryguy, binary translation is slow. Wine is much faster, but lacks files and driver compatability. | 06:45 |
| unfo | Appl3Kork: what is the filename? | 06:45 |
| nabcore | tar xfvj file.tar.bz2 | 06:45 |
| givemeaname | fryguy, so you mean go to a terminal and type that? | 06:45 |
| Appl3Kork | zlib-1.2.3.tar.bz2 | 06:45 |
| Ayabara | I get this error when I try to connect to work with vpnc "resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink" | 06:45 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: because the first accept, entry 2 in the FORWARD table, line 131, kills all the accepted traffic | 06:45 |
| fryguy | imaginativeone: no one mentioned binary translation | 06:45 |
| gluonman | unfo, #synergy is freaking empty. | 06:46 |
| fryguy | givemeaname: or run it from the alt-f2 prompt, whatever | 06:46 |
| unfo | giacomo_: Do a Google search for: ubuntu "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" | 06:46 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: all the allowed users' traffic will never get past line 131 | 06:46 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, this is what I have installed http://pastebin.com/m7480be75 | 06:46 |
| unfo | giacomo_: Click the first hit. Then click the link to the bug. Is that the precise bug you have? | 06:46 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: and line 138 kills the rest of the non-allowed traffic | 06:46 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: so there's nothing left to filter | 06:46 |
| Appl3Kork | zlib-1.2.3.tar.bz2 is the filename | 06:46 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I've passed page by page a lot of times but no solution | 06:46 |
| givemeaname | fryguy, thank you for the lead, i'll see what i can do with it (wish me luck) | 06:46 |
| fryguy | iamelite: do you have a specific windows program you are having problems running? | 06:46 |
| unfo | gluonman: you are annoying the people there. state your entire question on one long long line then wait 8 hours. :) | 06:47 |
| unfo | giacomo_: repeat: Do a Google search for: ubuntu "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries". Click the first hit. Then click the link to the bug. Is that the precise bug you have? | 06:47 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: kill line 122 | 06:47 |
| gluonman | unfo, alright. Though it is sometimes hard to not be annoying when I've already asked the question I think 8 times over the last 2 hours. | 06:47 |
| Appl3Kork | I'm just trying to install the rpm package from a tar.gz that I extracted, but I can't seem to figure that out either.. | 06:47 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I don't think so, they are tolking about misplaced libraries, but mines are in the correct position | 06:47 |
| iamelite | fryguy, with my novice eye i am trying to get webcam integrated into chat programs. Also certain chat programs do not work, i would guess to say they are virtual basic. | 06:47 |
| unfo | gluonman: i know, it's hard :) also email the mailing list. | 06:48 |
| givemeaname | fryguy, what about for copying stuff from one folder to the next? | 06:48 |
| unfo | giacomo_: hmmmm | 06:48 |
| {^KinG^} | alx@alx-b0x:~$ mp4ize Series/Dr\ House/4ta\ Temporada/HMD\ 4x10\ It\'s\ A\ Wonderful\ Lie.avi | 06:48 |

| {^KinG^} | any can help me ? why dont work mp4ize | 06:48 |
| balle_ | hey i have a problem with a folder, it says that only root is the owner, how do i change that to me? | 06:48 |
| fryguy | givemeaname: doing it from the command line is fastest. if you insist on using a gui, 'sudo nautilus' should give you what you need | 06:48 |
| Appl3Kork | so no one knows I guess... | 06:48 |
| gluonman | unfo, thanks. | 06:48 |
| balle_ | hey i have a problem with a folder, it says that only root is the owner, and only root can put stuff in and change it and stuff.. how do i change that to me? | 06:48 |
| unfo | Appl3Kork: you must ping me when you respond, otherwise i will not see your reponse in this sea of text. | 06:49 |
| unfo | Appl3Kork: why do you need zlib? | 06:49 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I can post a ldd if you want | 06:49 |
| givemeaname | fryguy, if thats the case, then how do you copy an installer.exe to a folder using the terminal? | 06:49 |
| {^KinG^} | balle_ man chown | 06:49 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: on line 168, kill all the subnet declarations, keep it simple, only specify output device, let the other tables restrict and filter traffic, that's not the job of the NAT table | 06:49 |
| fryguy | {^KinG^}: remove the quote from the filename before giving it to mp4ize | 06:49 |
| unfo | giacomo_: ok. have you ever installed qt yourself? | 06:49 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, to check that the libraries are there | 06:49 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: in a way I was doing a bit of overkill on lines 140 til 168 ;-) | 06:49 |
| fryguy | givemeaname: the cp command | 06:49 |
| Appl3Kork | unfo: to do ./configure for the rpm-4.4.2.3 | 06:49 |
| balle_ | king: just chown and then the directory? | 06:49 |
| drunk | balle_, "sudo chown balle_:balle_ /home/folder" | 06:49 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| unfo | Appl3Kork: why do you want rpm-4.4.2.3? cc: mindrape | 06:50 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I deleted everything from 140-168 | 06:50 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -i $LAN -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE | 06:50 |
| judgen | damn nat, i cant get it to work properly | 06:50 |
| balle_ | drunk: thx i'll try it out | 06:50 |
| saintmike | can someone help me with the ubuntu 8.04 server edition installation step failed? | 06:50 |
| {^KinG^} | fryguy how i understan d that | 06:50 |
| Appl3Kork | cause I have my drivers that are rpm to install | 06:50 |
| mindrape | unfo - stop annoying people. | 06:50 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: see my note to paul68 | 06:50 |
| unfo | saintmike: see #ubuntu-server | 06:50 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, in the meanwhile I'm compiling vlc with the debugging symbols, but I this it's useless because it's not a "crash" | 06:50 |
| unfo | mindrape: reread the question :) | 06:50 |
| fryguy | {^KinG^}: use mv to rename the file | 06:50 |
| Appl3Kork | unfo: and I can't connect to the internet on the laptop | 06:50 |
| iamelite | fryguy, pending I use a windows virtualization is there any tips you can offer to improve the performance, in theoretical or otherwise? | 06:50 |
| saintmike | yes sir... | 06:50 |
| Appl3Kork | unfo: the network adapters didn't come installed... | 06:50 |
| unfo | Appl3Kork: what driver? | 06:51 |
| xTheGoat121x | Evening... I have an odd question. I have a partition that is shared between Windoze and Ubuntu... it's in need to defragmentation, but I'm curious if degragging in Windows would have an effect on the partition in Linux, or vice versa... (it's a FAT32 partition) | 06:51 |
| Appl3Kork | a network driver | 06:51 |
| givemeaname | this sure doesn't make me like linux too much | 06:51 |
| unfo | xTheGoat121x: do not bother defragging. It is a waste of time. | 06:51 |
| mindrape | unfo - so he can install rpm packages. It's a legitimate question. Don't question people on why they want help. | 06:51 |
| Appl3Kork | one for wireless the other for ethernet | 06:51 |
| givemeaname | either that or wow..... | 06:51 |
| mindrape | They are here for help. Not to be pestered. | 06:51 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: you can keep those statements, just put them before the final DROP and ACCEPT lines for the appropriate subnet groups | 06:51 |
| fryguy | iamelite: get a processor that supports native virtualization helps. Or find a native chat application that does what you need | 06:51 |
| unfo | Appl3Kork: which wireless? which ethernet? | 06:51 |
| xTheGoat121x | unfo... seriously | 06:51 |
| drunk | Appl3Kork, you can try to use ndiswrapper, i did but i don't think it worked.. it showed the windows dirvers installed with the device active, but it still wouldn't connect | 06:51 |
| unfo | giacomo_: yes it is useless. | 06:51 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: i missed the first part of that while rebooting... | 06:51 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: because, keep in mind, iptables goes through the tables from entry 0 to the last entry | 06:51 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I think it's something related to libraries link | 06:51 |
| unfo | giacomo_: you installed qt yourself to check that the libraries are there? | 06:51 |
| Appl3Kork | drunk: well these are the linux drivers | 06:52 |
| fryguy | I'm running gnome on a remote X server. It's running very slowly though. Someone told me I had to run gnome inside of an X client. Will this speed up gnome? I have a picture of the process list (warning, the image is quite large, approximately 4.5mb): http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/xclient.png -- If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong and what x client to run to speed things up it would be appreciated. | 06:52 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -i $LAN -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE | 06:52 |
| unfo | Appl3Kork: those are the Fedora Linux drivers. You are on Ubuntu Linux. | 06:52 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: $LAN is your LAN interface, and $WAN accordingly | 06:52 |
| Appl3Kork | what are fedora drivers? | 06:52 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I put the new masquerade line under the first masquerade right | 06:52 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I've installed qt from ubuntu packages (up-to-date intrepid) | 06:52 |
| saintmike | i have tried using iso and cd installers for ubuntu 8.04 server edition and still has the same error...after not installing any software intaskel... | 06:52 |
| unfo | xthegoat121x: yes, seriously. | 06:52 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: that's why it used to be called ipchains... | 06:52 |
| faryshta | mindrape, I am back I think it is a hardware issue, didn't wished to boot from liveCD until I beat the computer. | 06:52 |
| shadowwulf | is there a command i can run at the bash prompt to upgrade and or fix broken packages if my system wont boot ? | 06:53 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: just replace it | 06:53 |
| faryshta | Now I am burning a DVD. | 06:53 |
| unfo | giacomo_: what is the command you used to install it? Also, are you using hardy, intrepid, or another ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I've removed with purge all the qt world before | 06:53 |
| xTheGoat121x | unfo, even on a shared partition? Cuz it's always had an effect in Windows for me. | 06:53 |
| Appl3Kork | when I downloaded the linux drivers from the manufacturers website, it didn't say that it was just for fedora | 06:53 |
| unfo | xTheGoat121x: even then. | 06:53 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: you only need one NAT declaration, and it should be simple, unless you have more than one internet connection of course, but that's not the case here | 06:53 |
| fryguy | shadowwulf: if it's a broken package, try "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 06:53 |
| Appl3Kork | in fact it didn't say that at all | 06:53 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, as I said, intrepid ubuntu 8.10 up-to-date, no pinned packages | 06:53 |
| xTheGoat121x | unfo, and I know that it has no effect in Linux | 06:53 |
| drunk | shadowwulf, sudo apt-get install --fix-missing | 06:53 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, no backports etc | 06:53 |
| saintmike | anyone has any idea? | 06:53 |
| balle_ | drunk: balle@balle-laptop:~$ chown balle /usr/lib/eclipse | 06:53 |
| balle_ | chown: changing ownership of `/usr/lib/eclipse': Operation not permitted | 06:53 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: iptables does not intend to filter in the NAT tables | 06:53 |
| dubbyz | hey anyone im running ubiquity and was wondering how i could obtain root on a block device | 06:53 |
| unfo | fryguy: drunk: please try harder to figure out what is wrong with shadowwulf's PC before making suggestions :) | 06:54 |
| judgen | iptables v1.3.8: Can't use -i with POSTROUTING rdw200169_ | 06:54 |
| fryguy | unfo: lol, are you serious? | 06:54 |
| unfo | fryguy: yes | 06:54 |
| bdheeman | hi | 06:54 |
| unfo | hi | 06:54 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: ok this is the new version http://paste.ubuntu.com/71236/ | 06:54 |
| Flannel | xTheGoat121x: Defragging isn't a waste of time. And, yes, if your partition your ubuntu is on is heavily fragmented, that will slow down your wubi install (Don't ask me by how much) | 06:54 |
| unfo | giacomo_: when did your Qt problems start? | 06:54 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: then don't use that, it's not 100% necessary | 06:54 |
| drunk | shadowwulf, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --fix-missing" not sure how to enter the password though, perhaps add that to your /etc/rc.local file | 06:54 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, when I dist-upgraded to intrepid | 06:54 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE | 06:55 |
| saintmike | anyone tried installing ubuntu 8.04 server edition? | 06:55 |
| unfo | giacomo_: hmmm, you should have said that. | 06:55 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: yeah | 06:55 |
| unfo | giacomo_: ok please repeat the question to everyone in #ubuntu+1 | 06:55 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, not ALL the qt applications are not working, some of them, like yakuake for example, are working correctly | 06:55 |
| xTheGoat121x | Flannel, this isn't a Wubi install. I dual boot, but use one partition that I share between Windows and Ubuntu as a central location for storing files | 06:55 |
| Flannel | giacomo_, unfo: Intrepid is in #ubuntu, it's been released. #ubuntu+1 is for Jaunty | 06:55 |
| Kengine | how do I get the horizontal view in open office word, not I have vertical view, i want to have a document so I can edit it seeing vertically | 06:56 |
| bdheeman | install dies in between, somewhere while copying files, checked the install cd/disk which is ok | 06:56 |
| unfo | Flannel: giacomo_: oops | 06:56 |
| shadowwulf | ok im getting a bunch of xserver-xorg-video-tga -nv -nsc etc. depends on xserver-xorg-core | 06:56 |
| dubbyz | anyone know if i could use ubiquity to edit files on my hard drive? | 06:56 |
| saintmike | rdw200169:i have a strange problem installing ubuntu server sir can you help? | 06:56 |
| unfo | giacomo_: which work? which don't? | 06:56 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: INT_NET=10.20.2.22... wrong, INT_NET=10.20.2.0/24... correct | 06:56 |
| giacomo_ | Flannel, my problem is in intrepid, not jaunty | 06:56 |
| shadowwulf | and then E: unmet dependencies | 06:56 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: shoot | 06:56 |
| shadowwulf | try using -f | 06:56 |
| bdheeman | and there is no log where i may look in to | 06:56 |
| Flannel | giacomo_: I know, you're in the right channel. | 06:56 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: just make sure you say my sn with the _ so i see it bolded... | 06:56 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: corrected | 06:57 |
| ditch64 | i have a quick question, my /boot/grub/menu.list file is empty and i need to back it up so i can install windows and then restore grub, buut if its empty.... what do i do?? | 06:57 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: kill line 37 | 06:57 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: im really appriciative about your help, but i still cant get it to work. | 06:57 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: the newline thing i mentioned won't work | 06:57 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: with the emtpy line | 06:57 |
| dubbyz | anyone know if i could run ubuntu live cd to edit files on my hard drive? | 06:57 |
| saintmike | rdw200169 : i tried installing through a cd and an iso but still says the same installation step failed... | 06:57 |
| drunk | what step saintmike | 06:58 |
| bdheeman | can i install intrepid in an extended partition? | 06:58 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: can you paste the output of iptables-save > file? | 06:58 |
| MTecknology | dubbyz: what was your question? | 06:58 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, as far as I know, yakuake and stellarium are working, vlc keepassx virtualbox qtconfig not | 06:58 |
| drunk | bdheeman, i don't think so | 06:58 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: or just iptables-save | 06:58 |
| MTecknology | bdheeman: yes - but /boot can't be | 06:58 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I keep the \ but loose the blank line did that for all the others to | 06:58 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, if you want me to try one just ask | 06:58 |
| drunk | good to know MTecknology | 06:58 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: yah, what step | 06:58 |
| dubbyz | MTecknology: I am running ubuntu live cd, and was wondering if i could use it as a way to edit root files on a hard drive | 06:58 |
| MTecknology | bdheeman: /boot needs to be on a primary partition in order to boot off of an extended | 06:58 |
| saintmike | rdw200169 : i usually get stuck installing the software...it says only the base system is installed.... | 06:59 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: ;) | 06:59 |
| bdheeman | i see, that's why install script dies | 06:59 |
| unfo | giacomo_: why are some working and some not? | 06:59 |
| MTecknology | dubbyz: ya, just mount the partition and edit away - careful what you're doing though | 06:59 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: does it get onto the internet? i.e. do you set up networking? | 06:59 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: where do i find it? | 06:59 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: with a good teacher I'm a quick learner thought I was pretty clever with the limited and access variable ;-) | 06:59 |
| saintmike | rdw200169 : not yet... | 07:00 |
| ditch64 | i have a quick question, my /boot/grub/menu.list file is empty and i need to back it up so i can install windows and then restore grub, buut if its empty.... what do i do?? | 07:00 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, nice question, I suppose it depends to what kind of library it uses | 07:00 |
| drunk | dubbyz, "sudo fdisk -l" to figure out the correct file /dev/sda partition.. then "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt" and the files will be in the /mnt folder | 07:00 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: it's a command | 07:00 |
| saintmike | rdw200169 : our instructor asked us not to configure the network yet..... | 07:00 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, I think qt3 is working qt4 not | 07:00 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: part of iptables | 07:00 |
| giacomo_ | unfo, but I'm not sure about this | 07:00 |
| unfo | giacomo_: check, then tell me. | 07:00 |
| mindrape | giacomo_: if you'd like help /msg me... unfo will just confuse you and lead you down random paths of google links he finds that he thinks are relevant. | 07:01 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: seems to work to your advantage | 07:01 |
| bdheeman | but the arch and debian are working fine from extended partition, only fedora is in a primary one | 07:01 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: our instructor said it maybe a hardware failure.... | 07:01 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: seems im forwarding wrong stuff... how do i remove the wrongful entries. | 07:01 |
| shadowwulf | how do i fix 'could not resolve' issues ? | 07:01 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_ : or media...but i downloaded a new one...it still says the same.... | 07:01 |
| unfo | giacomo_: if you do move to pm, please tell me so I will know the issue is on hold. | 07:02 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: that's certainly possible, are you aware ubuntu keeps a logfile of the install? | 07:02 |
| saintmike | yes.... | 07:02 |
| MTecknology | ditch64: I think you can boot to a live cd and copy the menu.list file from the live session and also copy that to your system | 07:02 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: do I need to specify anything else to make it all work or is this how you would do it the way we discussed it earlier this week? | 07:02 |
| m__ | hello all | 07:02 |
| shadowwulf | i am getting http errors .. and could not resolve | 07:02 |
| bdheeman | rdw200169_: plz let me where is the log file | 07:02 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_ : yes...but i could not finish any installation due to this err... | 07:02 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: you dont' really need to specify anything else for it to work the way you want, you could insert some more logging lines for debugging purposes | 07:03 |
| dubbyz | drunk: nope, sudo vi file == permission denied | 07:03 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_ : btw, im using vmware 5.5 now... | 07:03 |
| drunk | nope.. don't vi anything | 07:03 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_ : does it matter? | 07:03 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i prefer a light touch when it comes to setting up iptables, you could follow the syslog to find stuff you want to stop | 07:03 |
| MTecknology | shadowwulf: what website are you looking at? | 07:03 |
| unfo | MTecknology: shadowwulf: this was previously discussed with fryguy and drunk :) | 07:03 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: perhaps, i always have problems with the kernel installation on vmware, i have to install the generic kernel for it to reboot | 07:03 |
| unfo | shadowwulf: please ping people when replying to them. Do it like this: "drunk: " | 07:04 |
| fryguy | what? | 07:04 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: also, during install, you can try to switch vty's | 07:04 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: or do I need to add for the restricted ips the 80 port for allowing them to access the internet | 07:04 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_ : so what do you suggest i should do? | 07:04 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: define light touch? | 07:04 |
| fryguy | unfo: why are you saying my name | 07:04 |
| NicEXE | I have just connected a serial mouse to my PC what should I do in order to work? (only the ps2 mouse works currently) | 07:04 |
| judgen | saintmike: the kernel modules has to be regenerated for that particular versoin. But i think you get a free upgrade to the 6.* version where all that is fixed. | 07:04 |
| ditch64 | MTecknology: ya but everything works fine, but the file is still empty | 07:04 |
| ditch64 | MTecknology: on both my machines | 07:04 |
| drunk | dubbyz, "sudo fdisk -l" lists all your partitions.. the files you want are one one of those partitions.. "mount /dev/sda /media" will mount the particular partition in the /media folder.. then use your file manager to navigate to your files | 07:04 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: well, for the best troubleshooting, you should install via ssh, and use that to monitor the installation from the syslog... | 07:05 |
| shadowwulf | drunk, i am getting a cant resolve http error | 07:05 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: but you have to rebuild the cd for that | 07:05 |
| metrick | when i try to mount a second hard drive in the terminal it says i need to be a root user, why is that? | 07:05 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: check this out: greamin.com/server/server_guide.html for how to do that... | 07:05 |
| unfo | shadowwulf: in your case, you want to ping both drunk and fryguy, since they both told you suggestions on how to resolve your problem. :) | 07:05 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_ :so where can i get that? | 07:05 |
| bdheeman | gota - ubiquity: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0. in the install debug/log | 07:05 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: haha beat you to the punch.. | 07:06 |
| shadowwulf | unfo, so how would i do that ? | 07:06 |
| MTecknology | ditch64: I'm not sure. I think there's more than one way that grub saves the boot options. I'm not really sure though, sorry... | 07:06 |
| dubbyz | drunk i did all that, i mounted /dev/sda1 (the hard drive with linux root) I can view all files, actually my problem is that I am unable to write to any of them, even as root, so lets say i wish to sudo gedit /etc/sudoers | 07:06 |
| unfo | gluonman: do tell them #synergy your question also. :) | 07:06 |
| shadowwulf | unfo, type it twice ? | 07:06 |
| dubbyz | it will open with [read-only] | 07:06 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: if you make a firewall too restrictive, you always wonder why you can't do something | 07:06 |
| dubbyz | so i think its a mount option | 07:06 |
| MTecknology | dubbyz: you mounted read only | 07:06 |
| chmac | Is it possible to use boolean and searches on the ubuntu forum? | 07:06 |
| unfo | shadowwulf: you say "drunk, fryguy, blah blah blah" | 07:06 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: thanx... | 07:06 |
| dubbyz | but in mount -o rw | 07:06 |
| dubbyz | i did mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -o rw | 07:06 |
| fryguy | unfo: why do you keep saying my name | 07:06 |
| shadowwulf | drunk, fryguy i am getting a unable to resolve http error | 07:06 |
| drunk | dubbyz, perhaps try "sudo chown dubbyz:dubbyz /media/folder" | 07:06 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: on the other hand, instead of blocking something, log it, to make sure the firewall is catching it in the right place, you can use something like, tail -f /var/log/syslog to watch what the firewall is doing | 07:06 |
| mmap | ugh | 07:07 |
| chmac | Ok, got a whole page on it, should have searched before asking :) | 07:07 |
| bazhang | unfo, please stop | 07:07 |
| unfo | fryguy: i was telling shadowwulf to ping you re. the unbootable PC. | 07:07 |
| gaara | somebody help | 07:07 |
| unfo | bazhang: ok | 07:07 |
| ditch64 | MTecknology: k thanks | 07:07 |
| gluonman | unfo, mindrape is currently helping me. If we can't figure it out, I'll go back to #synergy. Thanks, though. | 07:07 |
| gaara | Updating database of manual pages ... | 07:07 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: particularly if you have a bunch of interesting LOG entries, the syslog will tell you everything you want to know about the logged packet, source ip, dest ip, port, etc... | 07:07 |
| mmap | haha, mindrape is a fag | 07:07 |
| gaara | its in that status forever | 07:07 |
| dubbyz | hmm | 07:07 |
| fryguy | unfo: why? you don't approve of the way I helped him, so why are you pointing him at me? | 07:07 |
| bdheeman | Saw signal 11. Server aborting. | 07:07 |
| bdheeman | Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on display ':0'. | 07:07 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: understood so at this point it is to restrictive even for the full access users, where would you put these loggings in the iptables | 07:07 |
| shadowkill | evening all | 07:07 |
| bdheeman | what's wrong | 07:08 |
| unfo | fryguy: i think you should have inquired more into why the PC wasn't booting Xorg before suggesting a command to type. | 07:08 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: by light touch, i mean, if i think i want to block something, i start logging it first, then block later, knowing i won't block something i don't want to, and so on | 07:08 |
| drunk | when does it say that bdheeman? | 07:08 |
| unfo | fryguy: but now you are the supporter | 07:08 |
| MTecknology | Can somebody tell ditch64 if there's any other way to store the boot list in grub other than the default menu.list file? I can't do the research atm. | 07:08 |
| fryguy | unfo: no i'm not | 07:08 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's fine for the full access users, right now they have full access based on line 131 | 07:08 |
| gaara | $ sudo dpkg --configure -a gives Setting up man-db (2.5.2-2) ... | 07:08 |
| gaara | Updating database of manual pages ... | 07:08 |
| gaara | someone plz help... | 07:08 |
| unfo | fryguy: by answering shadowwulf's question, you are taking on shadowwulf's support case. | 07:09 |
| gaara | its been updating forever | 07:09 |
| gaara | and ever | 07:09 |
| bdheeman | drunk: while running install script | 07:09 |
| FloodBot2 | gaara: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:09 |
| timreichhart | does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell | 07:09 |
| bazhang | unfo, fryguy chat elsewhere please | 07:09 |
| drunk | MTecknology, ditch64, perhaps save the list below the **other operating systems** line in the menu.lst file?? | 07:09 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: 131 old version I presume? | 07:09 |
| rdw200169_ | FloodBot is such a jerk, sometimes we slip when we type really fast! | 07:09 |
| MTecknology | drunk: He said that everyting boots fine, but that file is empty | 07:09 |
| Ohmu | How can I stop my mic feeding into the headphone out? | 07:10 |
| bdheeman | drunk, it interrupted/crashed the install and restarted gdm | 07:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: new one | 07:10 |
| drunk | perhaps the file being used is on a different boot sector or whatever? | 07:10 |
| timreichhart | does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell or could somebody tell me what be the best modem to use for fax server | 07:10 |
| drunk | stored on his windows partition? | 07:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: anyone from the accepted network is getting stopped and accepted there, and never sees the rest of the table | 07:10 |
| metrick | every time i try to mount my second hdd it says only root can do that, how can i mount this second hard drive | 07:10 |
| metrick | ? | 07:10 |
| drunk | stored on his windows partition? MTecknology | 07:10 |
| MTecknology | drunk: no idea. I'm too tired to keep in here though. I'm useless | 07:11 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: sorry but shouldn't that be line 126 | 07:11 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: sir i went to the site you told me....is there any other posible solution to my issue?hehehehhe | 07:11 |
| drunk | metrick, use the sudo command | 07:11 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: otherwhise I'm in the limited section | 07:11 |
| * bdheeman /var/log/installer/dm has (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed | 07:11 | |
| drunk | what else are you doing for 5 minutes MTecknology | 07:11 |
| timreichhart | does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell or could somebody tell me what be the best modem to use for fax server | 07:11 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: of course, but you have to figure out how to send vty switches to the virtual machine | 07:11 |
| unfo | timreichhart: see www.ebay.com or www.craigslist.com or IRC ##hardware | 07:11 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: i.e. ctrl+alt+f4 | 07:12 |
| fryguy | I'm running gnome on a remote X server. It's running very slowly though. Flannel told me I had to run gnome inside of an X client. Will this speed up gnome? I have a picture of the process list (warning, the image is quite large, approximately 4.5mb): http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/xclient.png -- If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong and what x client to run to speed things up it would be appreciated. | 07:12 |
| metrick | drunk: it says i need to add filesystem type | 07:12 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: ok... | 07:12 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: here's what i have for line 131 $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -s $ACCESS -j ACCEPT | 07:12 |
| metrick | specify filesystem type* | 07:12 |
| timreichhart | sorry unfo that information you just gave is useless | 07:12 |
| MTecknology | drunk: fine - I'll ignore sleep for a few minutes... | 07:12 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: then you are on the old version my friend | 07:12 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: and that one gives full access to the ones that get it | 07:12 |
| drunk | fryguy, startx?? | 07:12 |
| timreichhart | does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell or could somebody tell me what be the best modem to use for fax server for ubuntu | 07:13 |
| unfo | timreichhart: why? :) | 07:13 |
| fryguy | drunk: startx is for running an x server | 07:13 |
| drunk | i thought that started gnome though | 07:13 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's the one that has the $LAN variable fixed, etc... | 07:13 |
| unfo | timreichhart: why was it useless? | 07:13 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: but I guess I need to have to yes | 07:13 |
| MTecknology | ditch64: could you ls -l /boot/grub/ | 07:13 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: what's that for? | 07:13 |
| timreichhart | because unfo I can type in 56 modem for anything | 07:13 |
| MTecknology | ditch64: pastebin that | 07:13 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: add port 80 for the restricted ones | 07:13 |
| bazhang | timreichhart, check in ##hardware NOT here | 07:13 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: what, the key sequence? | 07:13 |
| shadowwulf | drunk, fryguy suggestions on a non resolve http error ? | 07:13 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: otherwise no internet for them right | 07:13 |
| unfo | timreichhart: you cannot buy hardware on this IRC channel. | 07:13 |
| unfo | timreichhart: it is off-topic here. | 07:13 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: right | 07:13 |
| timreichhart | please read what my message said unfo | 07:14 |
| Ohmu | timreichhart, also: post once only! or you'll get ignored. | 07:14 |
| drunk | not sure why copying file to an external driver would give resolve errors | 07:14 |
| unfo | timreichhart: what does "I can type in 56 modem for anything" mean? | 07:14 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: http://judgen.googlepages.com/iptables-save | 07:14 |
| drunk | not sure why copying file to an external driver would give resolve errors shadowwulf | 07:14 |
| timreichhart | please ohmu look at the message | 07:14 |
| drunk | drive* | 07:14 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: also udp and tcp or is tcp enough? | 07:14 |
| wwjohnson3 | i am extremely new to ubuntu and am trying to get both my ati tv wonder 200 and remote wonder plus to work. could someone assist me with this | 07:14 |
| bazhang | timreichhart, no. | 07:14 |
| timreichhart | it says OR | 07:14 |
| bazhang | timreichhart, that is offtopic here | 07:14 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: still cant get it to work | 07:14 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: no, i don't want the file! i want the output from running the command! | 07:14 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: would it solve my problem if i use a higher version of vmware? | 07:14 |
| timreichhart | how the hell can it be off topic when it said OR | 07:14 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: i don't know | 07:14 |
| shadowwulf | drunk, sorry dont think that answer was for me | 07:15 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: that is the output silly. just named it badly its a txt file | 07:15 |
| unfo | wwjohnson3: Sorry, too busy, I can't. But please repaste us your question with more details included. Use a longer line. | 07:15 |
| Flannel | timreichhart: This is an Ubuntu channel, not a Hardware channel. There are other channels for that. Thanks. | 07:15 |
| vlt | Hello. Can I run the latest security update including "dbus" while users are logged in? | 07:15 |
| timreichhart | please read my message | 07:15 |
| Ohmu | timreichhart, I'm ignoring you for spamming. Suggest you drop it or you'll get kicked. | 07:15 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: what key sequence are you refering to? | 07:15 |
| unfo | timreichhart the first part was off-topic. The second part was ontopic. | 07:15 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: and eth0 is your internet connection, right? | 07:15 |
| drunk | haha | 07:16 |
| bazhang | !hcl | timreichhart | 07:16 |
| ubottu | timreichhart: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 07:16 |
| timreichhart | I suggest Ohmu and unfo better read what I was asking | 07:16 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: eth0 is wan and eth1 is lan | 07:16 |
| unfo | timreichhart: repeat: the first part was off-topic. The second part was ontopic. | 07:16 |
| MTecknology | ditch64: you working on that? | 07:16 |
| timreichhart | I dont care | 07:16 |
| bazhang | timreichhart, please read that link | 07:16 |
| Cpudan80 | Just ban him already | 07:16 |
| timreichhart | please read my message | 07:16 |

| rdw200169_ | saintmike: 2:12 | 07:16 |
| {^KinG^} | fryguy now i have error from xvid | 07:17 |
| {^KinG^} | Unknown codec 'libxvid' | 07:17 |
| fryguy | {^KinG^}: so then install that codec, apt-cache search can help you find it | 07:17 |
| Cpudan80 | {^KinG^}: install it | 07:17 |
| unfo | timreichhart: if you repeat the ontopic part of your question, maybe someone will help you. If you are using Ubuntu Server Edition, repeat it in #ubuntu-server for best reponse. | 07:17 |
| judgen | hi Cpudan80 | 07:17 |
| Cpudan80 | {^KinG^}: I think it's just sudo apt-get install xvid32 | 07:17 |
| rdw200169_ | judgen: ok, then this might be related to routing, can you tell me if there's a line that contains the word 'default' when you run the command 'ip route' | 07:17 |
| Cpudan80 | judgen: hello hello | 07:17 |
| givemeaname | why do i have 2 folders named cdrom and cdrom0 if i only have 1 drive? they both bring me to the cd in my drive..... | 07:18 |
| wwjohnson3 | what channel should i go to find out how to setup my ati tv wonder 200 and remote wonder plus on ubuntu? | 07:18 |
| timreichhart | i have went over that chat room and that chat is dead | 07:18 |
| rdw200169_ | givemeaname: ones a symbolic link to the other | 07:18 |
| Cpudan80 | givemeaname: one is a symlink to the other one | 07:18 |
| drunk | givemeaname, i think one is a symlink | 07:18 |
| timreichhart | so that is why I came over to here | 07:18 |
| Buntu765_ | How Do I get the Fire Effect too work with desktop effects in 8.10? | 07:18 |
| bazhang | !offtopic | timreichhart | 07:18 |
| ubottu | timreichhart: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 07:18 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: sorry sir...what exactly are you refering "2:12" | 07:18 |
| {^KinG^} | Cpudan80 dont exist xvid32 | 07:18 |
| Cpudan80 | givemeaname: basically to support legacy (or perhaps just bad) programs that default to /dev/cdrom | 07:18 |
| {^KinG^} | i have install libxvidcore4 and libxvidcore4-dev | 07:18 |
| Cpudan80 | hrm... | 07:18 |
| Cpudan80 | {^KinG^}: how bout ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 07:19 |
| jcarter_ | anyone have any clue as to how to make a Linksys wireless PCMIA card work in Ubuntu 8.04 on an IBM T31 laptop? | 07:19 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: http://judgen.googlepages.com/ip_route | 07:19 |
| unfo | giacomo_: sorry, must go now. | 07:19 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: it's a time, from the chat log, regardless, i'm referring to the act of VTY switching, i.e. in ubuntu desktop, you can see 6 tty's by typing, accordingly, ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f2, etc... | 07:19 |
| givemeaname | oh so it's not an error or bad thing, it's a precaution, thank you | 07:19 |
| {^KinG^} | i have that too Cpudan80 | 07:19 |
| judgen | rdw200169_: and yes | 07:19 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: ctrl+alt+f8 is the gdm, xwindows tty | 07:19 |
| Cpudan80 | givemeaname: yeah - don't get rid of it | 07:19 |
| timreichhart | this why most people dont switch to ubuntu/linux not must help or support | 07:19 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: you mentioned the etc services file earlier I presume it's the one on the server side then? | 07:19 |
| Things | Would someone be able to help me with setting up my wireless card in Ubuntu ? | 07:19 |
| {^KinG^} | ubuntu-restricted-extras ya está en su versión más reciente. | 07:19 |
| {^KinG^} | 0 actualizados, 0 se instalarán, 0 para eliminar y 0 no actualizados. | 07:19 |
| kraant | Bah upgraded to 8.10 and now I have no sound | 07:19 |
| bazhang | !wifi | Things | 07:20 |
| ubottu | Things: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:20 |
| {^KinG^} | me too kraant | 07:20 |
| {^KinG^} | im back to 8.04 but now dont work mp4ize | 07:20 |
| jcarter_ | Things: that's my problem, too. | 07:20 |
| {^KinG^} | :S | 07:20 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: usually you can just put the card in and boot it up | 07:20 |
| Things | Ive looked at it, but I cant figure it out | 07:20 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: do i have to do that at vmware? | 07:20 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: the /etc/services files contains generic port numbers for popular services, you should read it, you can use the canonical name provided as an alias to mentioning the port numbers | 07:20 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: Does it not show up in restricted drivers? | 07:20 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: without using ssh, yes | 07:20 |
| {^KinG^} | fryguy whats i need to install | 07:20 |
| Things | The card gets power, and ubuntu knows its there, it just wont communicate with anything | 07:20 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: it might be tricky, sending it those key combos | 07:20 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: so when it states pop3 I just can mention pop3 after dport? | 07:21 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: but it doesnt show up in restricted drivers or network manager? | 07:21 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: if i'm not mistaken, though, i think the installer runs on vty1 | 07:21 |
| bazhang | Things, open a terminal and type ifconfig; how many entries | 07:21 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: ok il try... | 07:21 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i'm pretty sure, yes | 07:21 |
| Things | Nope | 07:21 |
| ramontayag | i downloaded themes from here: http://www.junauza.com/2008/08/10-beautiful-themes-for-ubuntu-intrepid.html but I don't know how to install them. When I go themes > add, nothing shows up when I browse the extracted tar balls | 07:21 |
| kraant | {^KinG^}, jcarter_ Any ideas on why? I can get the tone in the sound preferences but no sound elsewhere which is strange | 07:21 |
| Things | it doesnt have a auto eth0 thingy like ethernet does | 07:21 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i'm not 100% on that, but i'm pretty sure, i think i read it in the manpage for iptables | 07:21 |
| drunk | jcarter_, install ndiswrwapper and download windows drivers for your card "sudo ndiswrapper -i /folder/Lsbcmds.sys && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" the light on the card should start blinking, click on your network icon and connect to wireless networks.. add "ndiswrapper" to your "/etc/modules" file to add to startup | 07:21 |
| ditch64 | MTecknology: nvm i got it thank you | 07:21 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: type iwconfig at a prompt and see what it says | 07:21 |
| ditch64 | MTecknology: it was LST not LIST haha | 07:21 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: i think the debconf installer runs on vty1, and the syslog output is on vty4, might be 2, i can't remember | 07:22 |

| mictor | i have ubuntu 8.04 running on my eee pc 901 | 07:28 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: once you get into the shell, you can root around the filesystems | 07:28 |
| nabcore | The ACX 111 drivers are not very good at all (and it's not just an ubuntu thing), they have issues and are really maintained that well | 07:29 |
| {^KinG^} | Unknown codec 'libxvid' | 07:29 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: the /target/ directory is where the debian installer is putting your new ubuntu server | 07:29 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Things check this | 07:29 |

| ferronica | how to install Compiz-Fusion 07.8 on ubuntu 8.10??? | 07:29 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: everything else is imaginary in the ram | 07:29 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: dunno | 07:29 |
| caiphn | newbie here, can anyone tell me how to tell what driver my usb wireless adaptor is using? | 07:29 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: usually when you get this far you're good to go... | 07:29 |
| judgen | ferronica: just sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion | 07:29 |
| rdw200169_ | ferronica: try to find a Personal ARchive that keeps up the latest versions | 07:29 |
| jcarter_ | drunk_, thanks for the input, but you're talking to a novice. I've heard of ndiswrapper, but don't know how to get it. | 07:29 |
| skylarS | caiphn, netstat | more is not what you want... | 07:30 |
| crdlb | ferronica: you already have it, the only thing missing is the settings manager (compizconfig-settings-manager) | 07:30 |
| rdw200169_ | ferronica: i can't remember what version ubuntu 8.10 is default with | 07:30 |
| ferronica | judgen: will this command do all | 07:30 |
| Things | "2. The ESSID of your router must be broadcasted and not hidden" | 07:30 |
| Things | Whats a ESSID ? | 07:30 |
| drunk | jcarter_, "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper" hit tab a couple of time and pick the newest ones.. install the necessary dependencies it asks you to as well | 07:30 |
| ferronica | crdlb: from where Add/Remove? | 07:30 |
| skylarS | caiphn, iwconfig doesn't have it... | 07:30 |
| crdlb | judgen: you know there is no such package? :) | 07:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: Effective SSID | 07:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: basically the SSID | 07:30 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: regardless, there's most definitely log files that will help you with the installation, there's also an option to send the log files to another computer, if the installation server has bon-a-fide network access | 07:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: Fancy APs can do multiple SSIDs at once | 07:31 |
| Things | Tryin to convert from Windows here, so total Linux nub lol | 07:31 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: sir im now in the target directory... | 07:31 |
| crdlb | ferronica: from wherever you like: apt-get, synaptic, add/remove | 07:31 |
| judgen | ferronica: just load up synaptic, search for compiz and youll find the needed packages. | 07:31 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: excellent!, now i'm assuming that during this installation, there was an error, and that we're expecting to catch it now? | 07:31 |
| judgen | crdlb: there used to be... dont they have a "ghost package"? | 07:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: gotta start somewhere ;-) | 07:31 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: yes.... | 07:32 |

| paul68 | rdw200169_: where should you insert logging rules in the current script | 07:32 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: ok then, go to the directory /target/var/log | 07:32 |
| crdlb | judgen: I don't think that was ever a package; 'compiz' has always installed everything (except for ccsm) | 07:32 |
| caiphn | skylarS: nope | 07:32 |
| Stevethepirate | [the theme that is] | 07:32 |
| judgen | Stevethepirate: yes that is smoke login screen for gdm | 07:32 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: really, that's up to you, everyones firewall is different, in that, everyone is trying to prevent or allow different things.... | 07:33 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: yes im here | 07:33 |

| jcarter_ | drunk_, thanks. Now I just need to wire the laptop to my router. It's just a few feet away. I'll get there. | 07:33 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: now, try this, tail -n 20 syslog | 07:33 |
| skylarS | caiphn, $network-config main>preferences>wifi | 07:33 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: but don't paste here, please... | 07:33 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: understood in the given script where should you put the loggings to see what is going on ? | 07:33 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: yes... | 07:33 |
| Stevethepirate | judgen: link? | 07:33 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: depends, what do you want to see most? | 07:34 |
| Stevethepirate | I was looking on gnome-customize and gnome-look earlier | 07:34 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: but i does nt do anything... | 07:34 |
| Things | Oh | 07:34 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: the file is empty? try this, cat syslog | 07:34 |
| Things | when wireless tries to connect to my AP | 07:34 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: same thing | 07:34 |
| judgen | Stevethepirate: sorry.. | 07:34 |
| Things | it seems to get disconnected at the "getting IP" stage, or whatever its called | 07:34 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: or at least see if the file exists, i.e. 'ls' | 07:34 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: hrm... | 07:35 |
| Stevethepirate | judgen: K, /me looks more | 07:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: but it works under windows? | 07:35 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: yes it does exist | 07:35 |
| Things | Yeah | 07:35 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: do this, 'cd /var/log/ | 07:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: and the AP is broadcasting the SSID ? | 07:35 |
| ramontayag | any ideas on installing those themes? | 07:35 |
| Things | It shows up in the windows wireless network manager, so I guess it is | 07:35 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: maybe that's where it put it... | 07:35 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: i can't remember | 07:36 |

| jcarter_ | drunk_, ndiswrapper not found! Now what? | 07:36 |
| alex_mayorga | ok looks like I'll need to try a reinstall and see if that helps with my networking blues | 07:36 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: interesting .. my laptop doesnt have an ESSID box in the network manager | 07:37 |
| alex_mayorga | if I install ubuntu on top of ubuntu, would it preserver my data? | 07:37 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: can you screenshot that window (with the config thing) ? | 07:37 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: well, you can't log everything, or the syslog would get swamped | 07:37 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: same thing... | 07:37 |
| Cpudan80 | alex_mayorga: install ubuntu on top of ubuntu ? | 07:37 |

| alex_mayorga | Cpudan80, like a Win32 "repair install" kind of thing | 07:38 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: honestly, you might want to try something like ntop, to track usage | 07:38 |
| djxcqtion | wats up mates | 07:38 |
| Stevethepirate | judgen: Lulz. | 07:38 |
| Cpudan80 | alex_mayorga: oh ehh yes I think | 07:38 |
| ubd | ramontayag, do you know if i can disable the view on laptop but use the external only? | 07:38 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it does a pretty good job of tracking how much of what everyone is using, and then you know what you want to block | 07:38 |
| aaron_ | I'm still confused with the usplash thing I did this: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u what do I do after that? | 07:38 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: it sill does nothing sir.... | 07:38 |

| Stevethepirate | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Intrepid+Ibex+GDM?content=86712 | 07:38 |

| rdw200169_ | saintmike: are there any interesting files in the directory? | 07:39 |
| Freku | maybe a bios setting in your laptop | 07:39 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: i.e. 'installation_log' or something like that? | 07:39 |
| ramontayag | ubd: i'm no expert so best if someone else helps you out there. but you gotta do some editing in x11.. i always feel like i'm gonna destroy something when i do that. | 07:39 |

| paul68 | rdw200169_: I already have a tracking on persons trying to connect through ssh and warning me by mail if someone making an attempt on that part | 07:39 |
| c_korn | this is my xorg.conf http://paste.debian.net/21347/ | 07:39 |
| drunk | ubd, are you using nvidia? | 07:39 |
| ubd | freku bios cant ıdentıfy the monıtors there are two options: auto/both | 07:39 |

| Cpudan80 | Things: is your ethernet cable plugged in? | 07:40 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: nah, not that one... | 07:40 |

| rdw200169_ | saintmike: what are the last three options in the menu? | 07:40 |
| drunk | c_korn, "sudo nvidia-settings" | 07:40 |
| judgen | aaron there is a gnome app for that: sudo apt-get install startupmanager | 07:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Things: But You need to unplug the ethernet cable to test those setting changes | 07:41 |
| Things | when I click on the network icon on the taskbar, my wireless network isnt in the list | 07:41 |

| bazhang | Things, using wep/wpa/none | 07:41 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I know don't mind if that person connects through ssh since it's someone that helped me out building the server, but just want to make sure that (since he's more experienced then me) is trying to take over my server for whatever reason without me knowing it | 07:41 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: what are you using to do that, or is it a specific part of ssh? | 07:41 |
| Things | No encryption | 07:41 |
| judgen | c_korn: what are you trying to do? | 07:41 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: no it's a script that I put together | 07:42 |
| bazhang | Things, sudo dhclient wlan0 followed by your user password | 07:42 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: ah, what i'm talking about takes statistical information on the whole mess | 07:42 |

| akrill | ikonia: having trouble getting bind to respond to queries. keep getting a 5(REFUSED) | 07:57 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: it might be something to do with the standard debian installer, i don't know, only that ubuntu destkop, (not alternate) uses ubuquity instead of the deb installer | 07:57 |
| ikonia | akrill: what policyes have you setup in your named.conf ? | 07:58 |

| rdw200169_ | saintmike: in the partition manager, from the installer, just specify /dev/sda, or something like that, just like a SATA drive | 08:01 |
| saintmike | rdw200169_: would it matter? | 08:01 |
| rdw200169_ | saintmike: just depends on whether or not the installer correctly detects the drive, it should | 08:01 |

| akrill | ikonia: actually hang on just one sec i think i have an idea | 08:26 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: :S | 08:26 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: what would you suggest? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: you need to boot into windows and run chkdisk - but as you don't have windows thats an issue | 08:27 |
| ikonia | akrill: no problem | 08:27 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: my suggestion is to install ubuntu properly, not using in my opinion bad/pointless technologies like wubi | 08:27 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: are you still present? | 08:27 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: yep. also i tried installing windows onto that partition. it runs chdisk but freezes at 20% for a long time. should i leave that running/will it finish checking the disk? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: depends on the state of your disk | 08:28 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: i tried installling ubuntu from livecd. on the partition part of install it gives me an error saying partition is too small.. even tho i set it to use free space (200gb+) | 08:28 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: free space - is not unallocated | 08:29 |
| test124 | test | 08:29 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: from what you have said you have %100 allocated space | 08:29 |
| try2free | where to get printer driver for epson lq 2180? | 08:29 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: so the partitioner wont automatically resize the partition and use the free space? | 08:29 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: you have no free space | 08:30 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: your space is %100 allocated | 08:30 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: :S | 08:30 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: delete the partition | 08:30 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: im trying to avoid that since i have a lot of valuable stuff stored on it. with no space to back it up on my other drives | 08:31 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: your out of luck then | 08:31 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: if i could just burn gparted live cd from ubuntu live cd... | 08:31 |

| goofrider | anyone can help me with samb pdbedit to change sid? | 08:32 |

| ikonia | akrill: although from your config it looks quite open | 08:32 |
| bluefoxx | hiya. i have a screen res problem here. i just installed Ibex on my tecra 8200, after tiring of windows screwing my schoolwork up. problem here is, though everything runs nice enough, x shows up in 800x600 oon a 1024x768 native screen, with no option to go higher. the internal adaptor is a trident cyberblade xp if that helps any | 08:33 |
| bluefoxx | now in the past i would have edited xorg.conf but as i hear it, we obliterated the need for that somehow | 08:33 |
| bluefoxx | anyone here able to help out ? | 08:33 |
| Frogzoo | Mba7eth: iptables -L -v | 08:33 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: editing the xorg.conf works. Tried installing the trident drivers? | 08:34 |
| BlackDex | Distro: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). I have a 24" monitor which supports a resolution of 1920x1200, but i can't select this resolution. A friend of mine has exact the same monitor, and the same distro, and the same desktop computer, and it works like a charm on his computer. The only difference is that he installed ubuntu after the 24" monitor was connected, and i had ubuntu already installed before. I have tried to change the xorg.conf but no | 08:34 |
| BlackDex | success. | 08:34 |
| BlackDex | I googled also, but all speak about editing the xorg.conf. What can i do to fix this? Thx in advance | 08:34 |
| Mba7eth | Frogzoo: thanks alot :) | 08:34 |
| ziroday | BlackDex: tried copying and using his xorg.conf? | 08:34 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: maybe u can try "Xorg -configure" to automate the xorg.conf, just need to replace /etc/X11/xorg.conf (after backup) with the recently created. | 08:35 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: this is what im looking at atm: http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotqp6.png | 08:35 |
| bluefoxx | ziroday, is that nessiciary>? i thought trident was kind of dead, and drivers were too | 08:35 |
| bluefoxx | test124, xorg.conf is still around than? | 08:35 |
| BlackDex | ziroday: he has the same xorg.conf :S | 08:35 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: believe so about the drivers. What drivers do you normally use? | 08:35 |
| ziroday | BlackDex: does the issue happen on a livecd? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: how does that change anything from what I've said ? | 08:36 |
| BlackDex | nope | 08:36 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: you might want to read this as well http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763964.html | 08:36 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: "Xorg -configure" does create a xorg.conf in local dir. this needs to be moved in the standard /etc/... thing. at least worth a try | 08:36 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: lol ok | 08:36 |
| akrill | ikonia: hmmm how would i set up a policy that would allow recursion for 10.1.0.0/16? | 08:36 |
| bluefoxx | ziroday, the default ones here, my laptops generally have not got a nvidia/ati gpu in them | 08:36 |
| needhelpnoob | ikonia: sorry to repeat... but that means i cant continue from that step? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | akrill: hang on I'll pastebin my own config - I'm using views so that may give you a clue | 08:36 |
| mddd | hey i was able to install the nvidia drivers ,thanx ikonia | 08:37 |
| ikonia | needhelpnoob: you are locked in your istuation | 08:37 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: okay, right well it sounds like you have done this before? You can use the same settings in xorg.conf just fine | 08:37 |

| ziroday | bluefoxx: do you have the xserver-xorg-video-trident package installed and have you selected trident as your driver? | 09:04 |
| ziroday | gunnarahlberg: what card? | 09:04 |
| bluefoxx | ziroday; not sure | 09:04 |
| bluefoxx | i *just* installed | 09:04 |
| gunnarahlberg | ziroday: dunno, how do I find out? | 09:04 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: well can you try install that package | 09:04 |
| bluefoxx | and besides setting a root password and changin the theme | 09:04 |

| kanhiya78 | can no one here does not know how to use apt on cd | 09:05 |
| gunnarahlberg | ziroday: ah, that says nothing as I'm in failsafe without nvidia right now. That's the only way to get X up :( | 09:05 |
| bluefoxx | ziroday; about to check | 09:05 |
| ziroday | gunnarahlberg: it will still say something even if you are in failsafe | 09:05 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: try ziros hint. if that doesnt work, try in xorg.conf WITHIN ' Section "Screen" ' the following ' SubSection "Display" (NEWLINE) Virtual 1024 768 (NEWLINE) EndSubSection ' | 09:06 |

| bobslaede | wow | 09:07 |
| bobslaede | hah | 09:07 |
| bluefoxx | test124; ziroday; the package didnt fix it | 09:08 |
| grep65535 | bobslaede, i've seen ppl with ubuntu working well with AD, just takes reading | 09:08 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: yeah, i thought i was going to bed, but then the #ubuntu chatroom on HanIRC sucked me in ;) | 09:08 |
| bluefoxx | i will try the before option | 09:08 |
| gunnarahlberg | ziroday: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/NVidia_Quadro_NVS_140m ? | 09:08 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: check out www.thinkwiki.com there's great linux help there for thinkpads. Did you select trident to be used by xorg? | 09:08 |
| gunnarahlberg | ziroday: not really sure what it's telling me though | 09:08 |
| bluefoxx | ziroday; hows that? | 09:08 |
| ziroday | gunnarahlberg: gimme a sec :) | 09:08 |
| gunnarahlberg | ziroday: ok :) | 09:09 |
| bobslaede | grep65535: yeah, i've read about it, but i'm not sure if it works with windows server 2007, or 8 or whatever its called | 09:09 |
| try2free | how customizing a paper setting for a printer? | 09:09 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: try "Xorg -configure" again, ghe cud now include the driver autom to xorg.conf | 09:09 |
| ziroday | bluefoxx: well what does the Driver "something" line say? | 09:09 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: just a quick question if I add a accespoint to my second nic of the server then I don't get into trouble with nat translation or am I wrong? | 09:10 |
| ziroday | gunnarahlberg: sure, according to there you can either use the NV (opensource driver) or the NVIDIA (propriatery driver) | 09:10 |
| bluefoxx | heh...crashed it >. | 09:10 |
| ziroday | gunnarahlberg: if you go for nvidia you will want the -177 one | 09:10 |
| babo | how do i connect to wireless with ubuntu ? | 09:10 |
| bluefoxx | and oh wow, reisub shows a bluescreen | 09:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: no, the best way to prevent problems is to bridge the lan interfaces | 09:10 |
| kanhiya78 | i have sis graphics card and i do not know it is supported by ubuntu or not because i am not able to get higher resolution than 800x600 | 09:10 |
| gunnarahlberg | ziroday: thank you so much! | 09:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: that's what i always to | 09:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: so there's always one path, according to iproute2 and iptables, for lan-wan wan-lan | 09:11 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: how does that work? | 09:11 |
| kanhiya78 | here is my output from terminal compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) | 09:11 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: ok | 09:11 |
| bluefoxx | kanhiya78; old laptop? | 09:11 |
| kanhiya78 | no | 09:11 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's like saying "eth0 and eth1 belong to the interface bri0" | 09:11 |
| bluefoxx | or just old PC? | 09:11 |
| kanhiya78 | no | 09:11 |
| kanhiya78 | just manufactured in march 2008 | 09:12 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's like multiplexing several interfaces into one, thereby creating a bridge, or in easier terms a imaginary ethernet switch | 09:12 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I see and how do I achieve this? | 09:12 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: comes from the old networking days when there was a distinction between a bridge and a switch | 09:12 |
| babo | how do i connect to wireless with ubuntu ? | 09:12 |
| kanhiya78 | bought in june 2008 | 09:12 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: apt-get install bridge-utils i think | 09:12 |
| bluefoxx | kanhiya78; oh, SIS...i was thinking S3...sorry about that. anyways, to my knowlage, you'll have to edit xorg.conf like i'm trying to figure out | 09:13 |
| kanhiya78 | i am new to linux | 09:13 |
| PararaPatxin | hi kanhiya78 | 09:13 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: there's some examples here of it's usage, http://greamin.com/server/PastWork/UbuntuGateway.html | 09:13 |
| givemeaname | me too kanhiya78 | 09:13 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: have u rerun "Xorg -configure" with the newly drivers installed? does xorg.conf have the new driver in it? | 09:13 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's the brctl lines, (bridge control) | 09:13 |
| kanhiya78 | PararaPatxin: hi | 09:13 |
| kanhiya78 | givemeaname: oh you are also kanhiya78 | 09:14 |
| bluefoxx | test124; it shows VendowName "Trident Microsystems" under "Device" section | 09:14 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: ok you are just a walking server encyclopedia :-) | 09:14 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: then, once you have a bridge interface, use it as your lan interface | 09:14 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: sweet! | 09:15 |
| givemeaname | kanhiya78, no i mean i'm new to linuz too | 09:15 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: and does it have some 1024xX content too? | 09:15 |
| selinuxium | hi all, how can I see what a printer is up to via cli? | 09:15 |
| givemeaname | so new i can't spell it right | 09:15 |
| bluefoxx | test124; under this it also has BoardName "SyberBlade/XP" | 09:15 |
| ct529 | hi! If you have a deb package, how do you get information on the compilation flags? I have read the manual pages but did not find the information .... | 09:15 |
| Frogzoo | selinuxium: lpq -q | 09:15 |
| Frogzoo | selinuxium: lpq -a | 09:15 |
| bluefoxx | test124; it however, contains *nothing* about any specific resolutions... | 09:15 |
| kanhiya78 | givemeaname: are you happy with linux | 09:16 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: ok if it now has trident which it didnt have before maybe u should tryy the newly xoerg.conf again and try the gnome resoution setting thingie | 09:16 |
| bluefoxx | graphics seem very finicky on linux...i once booted a p3 450+tnt2 and a 14" CRT and got 1600x1200 | 09:16 |
| test124 | :D | 09:16 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: now, when google crawls the irc logs of this chat, it'll come up with that statement when i google rdw200168 and encyclopedia... | 09:16 |
| xuan | he he he empty | 09:16 |
| sigizmund | bluefoxx: so how did it work? :) | 09:17 |
| bluefoxx | test124; that is the new xorg.conf i'm trying[i just tried to tab-complete that] | 09:17 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: is there somewhere a howto since I come on your firewall example | 09:17 |
| kanhiya78 | i have just only one problem which is resolution | 09:17 |
| givemeaname | kanhiya78, i'm not a fan of M$ as for linux, it's an exotic beast waiting to be tamed | 09:17 |
| vincent | can anybody send a singularity into space please for me? | 09:17 |
| bluefoxx | sigizmund; the 1600x1200? very poor refresh | 09:17 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: ok if u tried and stil there only shows 800xX in gnome resol manager... tell :p | 09:17 |
| PararaPatxin | I think I've found a kind of bug in Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop's MySQL Server | 09:17 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest17194 | ||
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i dunno, it's pretty easy to use, the comand brctl | 09:17 |

| voox | what's a good panel to use with openbox? | 09:18 |
| Viper111 | anybody knows about smoothwall | 09:18 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: you just create the bridge, brctl addbr bri0 | 09:18 |
| bluefoxx | test124; i generally steal the section parts i need from pre-made xorg.conf files :\ | 09:18 |
| kanhiya78 | givemeaname: my english is weak | 09:18 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: add the interfaces, brctl addif eth0 | 09:18 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: and you're done | 09:18 |
| mddd | hey when i run sudo ntfs-config dialog ,and select the ntfs partitions the apply button goes gray and can't be clicked ,why | 09:18 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: you can even learn more about it, by doing a brctl show | 09:18 |
| givemeaname | kanhiya78, what language do you speak? | 09:19 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: t6hen, the interface bri0 is just like any other interface | 09:19 |
| Iejoor | Hello. When I plug in a USB storage device, ubuntu asks what I want to do with it. If I select "always choose this option for this type of device", how/where can I change that configuration later? | 09:19 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: ok | 09:19 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: the rule of thumb is, though, to remove all the ip addresses from the attached interfaces to prevent problems | 09:19 |
| kanhiya78 | givemeaname: hindi ,haryanvi,and english | 09:19 |
| test124 | bluefoxx: the sense behind installing the drivers and then "Xorg -configure" is that the resolution manager may show up more available resols. but one thing u can try AFTER u tried that... | 09:19 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: furthermore, you should put those interfaces into promiscuous mode, so they will communicate with each other (switching...) | 09:19 |
| kanhiya78 | givemeaname: hindi is my mothertongue | 09:20 |
| mddd | hey when i run sudo ntfs-config dialog ,and select the ntfs partitions the apply button goes gray and can't be clicked ,why | 09:20 |
| bluefoxx | test124; i'm about to try that codeline you gave me | 09:20 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: ok now I'm lost lol | 09:20 |

| test124 | agt least worht a try | 09:21 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: but I guess we will discuss this another day since it is already late for you | 09:21 |
| GreeenTea | mddd: With what, dear? | 09:21 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it has to do with the kernel logic, non-promiscuous mode means that the kernel will flag strange packets, like packets that are not coming from it, | 09:21 |
| mddd | hey when i run sudo ntfs-config dialog ,and select the ntfs partitions the apply button goes gray and can't be clicked ,why | 09:21 |
| bluefoxx | test124; now i did | 09:21 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: but promiscous mode will move all traffic | 09:21 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's too late now... | 09:21 |
| kanhiya78 | ubuntu 8.10 does not support my graphics card i think | 09:21 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: that's why I said we do this the next time | 09:21 |
| === Milos_ is now known as Milos | ||
| rdw200169_ | paul68: regardless, the most important thing about the brige concept, is making sure to change all your references to the old lan interface to the bridge interface | 09:22 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: like i said, it's too late for me to sleep... | 09:22 |
| uc4y | hi | 09:22 |
| kanhiya78 | because when i install it on my friend computer it works fine and extra effects also enabled | 09:22 |

| kanhiya78 | in 8.04 it was not supporting my sound card | 09:23 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it's not you, it's the other channel, i got sucked into a korean conversation, in a korean chatroom | 09:23 |
| voox | how do i set pypanel to start at boot with openbox? | 09:23 |
| kanhiya78 | i think i have to wait for 9.04 to support my graphics card | 09:23 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: what do you have? | 09:24 |
| kanhiya78 | i HAVE LAPTOP | 09:24 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: this means that if I understand you correctly I have to bridge the router before my server with eth0 and that I have to bridge eth1 with the switch behind it | 09:24 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: no need to yell... i mean what video card? | 09:24 |

| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: the last LTS was 8.04, and the next won't be for a while | 09:32 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i do not understand | 09:32 |
| Gr3yW0lf | how come ubuntu 8.04 is using a sd driver and naming my pata disks as sda, sdb etc etc .... i also see this using hdparm: IO_support = 0 (default) 16-bit) :: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device ??? | 09:32 |
| TB` | Whoop de fucking do grep65535 - have a cookie | 09:32 |
| grep65535 | ;-) | 09:33 |
| gammy | abe3k: while true; do echo "something"; sleep 2; done | 09:33 |
| gammy | abe3k: :P | 09:33 |
| TB` | This channel is lamer than I thought | 09:33 |
| TB` | I'm out | 09:33 |
| abe3k | thanks guys, I'll give it a try | 09:33 |
| Ruge | hey guys, im using an old lapto here, reckons its feasable to use an old ubuntu install (FiestyFawn) since my lapo is old as it is? | 09:33 |
| [mbm] | Gr3yW0lf: with libata everything is a sd* device | 09:33 |
| needhelpnoob | how do i list all the hard disk drives on my computer? | 09:33 |
| fosco_ | needhelpnoob: sudo fdisk -l | 09:34 |
| gammy | Ruge: It should work with the lastest release. Preferably using something other than gnome though. | 09:34 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: current layout is like this isp => first router => server (2nics) => second router with wifi | 09:34 |
| needhelpnoob | thx fosco_ | 09:34 |
| rdw200169_ | !LTS | 09:34 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: LTS versions of ubuntu only come out every couple years | 09:34 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 09:34 |
| test124 | still anybody knows how to disassemble the MBR "dd if=/dev/hda of=./a ...", while objdump doesnt recogn it as valid fformat? | 09:34 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i used 8.04 for three days only | 09:34 |
| Gr3yW0lf | mbm, how come dma is not working, it used to work... i'm getting real slow performance off this disk, users complaining that ubuntu is slow!! :/ | 09:34 |
| Ruge | Yeah, its just at the moment im on a terrible net connection, and this 7.04 disc is sitting here in front of me, so was thinking of installing tonight to see what its like | 09:34 |
| AdvoWork | hmm, if i create a share on my windows box //ip/share$ and then in etc/fstab to //ip/share$ /home/myshare cifs exec if i copy something to /home/myshare/ will it only ever be in /home/myshare and not on my windows box? i want the windows box to have a copy of it, not just a pretend copy | 09:34 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: than i upgraded and i am new to linux | 09:35 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: wow, that is a lot | 09:35 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: you probably should try the recent version (intrepid). if your laptop's really slow, try xubuntu | 09:35 |
| gammy | Ruge: Odds are that a more recent version will work a lot better and (of course) is safer. | 09:35 |
| Ruge | oh isee | 09:35 |
| ct529 | hi! If you have a deb package, how do you get information on the compilation flags? I have read the manual pages but did not find the information .... | 09:35 |
| Ruge | hmm | 09:35 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: sorry | 09:35 |
| gammy | Ruge: You could always get a minimal install? | 09:35 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: so next version will be 9.04 right? | 09:35 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: Xubuntu uses the lightweight Xfce desktop environment instead of Gnome. runs faster on old hardware | 09:36 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: yes | 09:36 |
| Ruge | oh i see | 09:36 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: your problem is solveable, but i don't think, reluctantly, that it can be solved without doing a bit of typing... to say the least | 09:36 |
| gammy | Ruge: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 09:36 |
| Gr3yW0lf | ::/dev/sda :: Timing cached reads: 2 MB in 4.44 seconds = 461.53 kB/sec :: Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 6.03 seconds = 1019.11 kB/sec ....arrrrgh! :( | 09:36 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: b/c with 8.10, they don't use a xorg.conf file anymore, for x windows | 09:36 |
| Ruge | i see, thanks for that | 09:36 |
| kanhiya78 | i rdw200169_i mean to say 8.10 intrepid is final | 09:37 |
| [mbm] | Gr3yW0lf: look at hdparm -I /dev/sda .. it should tell you the drive is in a udma mode | 09:37 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: so, for you to be able to specify the higher resolutions, you would have to create a new xorg.conf file... | 09:37 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: yes | 09:37 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: how | 09:37 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: albeit, not to include security and bug fix updates, etc... | 09:37 |
| test124 | good bye :p | 09:38 |
| Ruge | wowsers | 09:38 |
| Ruge | 10MB? | 09:38 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: before we go that far, other owners of that laptop *must* have the same problem you do, what model laptop do you have? | 09:38 |
| Ruge | for minimal!? | 09:38 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: or try http://xubuntu.org | 09:38 |
| Ruge | how is that possible! | 09:38 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i am updating it daily | 09:38 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: let's see if someone else has had the same problem... this is one of the subtle benefits to owning a laptop... | 09:38 |
| needhelpnoob | hi can anyone help me to delete a folder. i've used sudo rm -rf and it wont let me | 09:38 |
| error404notfound | whenever I try to install something, I get http://pastebin.com/m1d496544, the installation completes though... | 09:38 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: well, no programs, just the kernel. | 09:38 |
| Ruge | i just get the drivers as i use them? | 09:38 |
| Ruge | ahh, i have no idea how to use the linux interface | 09:39 |
| Ruge | <-- n00b | 09:39 |
| needhelpnoob | <--- bigger noob | 09:39 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: yes | 09:39 |
| Gr3yW0lf | mbm looks like its set to udma4 but udma5 is supported according to hdparm -I (thanks for your help by the way :) :: DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 *udma4 udma5 | 09:39 |
| needhelpnoob | hi can anyone help me to delete a folder. i've used sudo rm -rf and it wont let me | 09:39 |
| Ruge | im running 1GHz PIII, 256MB Ram, 32mb ATi Rage Mobility GFX, 20GB HDD (backup laptop) | 09:39 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: is that a problem concerning bridging or is it feasable? | 09:39 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: so, what specific laptop do you have? | 09:39 |
| AdvoWork | im doing sudo mount -a and its giving me this error: mount error 11 = Resource temporarily unavailable any ideas why? | 09:40 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: what to tell | 09:40 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: so you have only 2 interfaces on the server, and they are wan/lan, right? | 09:40 |
| Gr3yW0lf | how to change it to udma5? how risky is that? | 09:40 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: specifications or brand name | 09:40 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: like, the name of the laptop from the label under neath | 09:40 |
| rsmith16384 | can i get someone to test my ftp port forwarding? | 09:40 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: like "acer 4866 series" or something | 09:41 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: yes the wan is connected to the first router the lan towards the second | 09:41 |
| kanhiya78 | ok | 09:41 |
| rsmith16384 | need to know if you see folders when clicking this link... | 09:41 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: and that's it? | 09:41 |
| needhelpnoob | hi can anyone help me to delete a folder. i've used sudo rm -rf and it wont let me | 09:41 |
| linguini | How does one disable the Network Manager managed interfaces? | 09:41 |
| auswald | Anyone here that can help me with my weird permissions and ownership on /media/cdrom0? | 09:41 |
| [mbm] | Gr3yW0lf: you can change it with hdparm's -X option but it's likely your system doesn't support it | 09:41 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: it iS HCL K3003 | 09:41 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: than Xubunut | 09:41 |
| rsmith16384 | ftp://guest:guest@robertandkarensmith.com | 09:41 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: than Xubutu | 09:41 |
| needhelpnoob | hi can anyone help me to delete a folder. i've used sudo rm -rf and it wont let me | 09:41 |
| === r0bby is now known as Guest12668 | ||
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: is HCL a brand name? | 09:42 |
| dirtyhawk | needhelpnoob: "rmdir FOLDERNAME" | 09:42 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: yes | 09:42 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: What is it telling you? | 09:42 |
| needhelpnoob | dirtyhawk: thanks i'll try | 09:42 |
| abe3k | how do I make the sh file have no output in the terminal , just like a silent mode ? | 09:42 |
| linguini | needhelpnoob: what does it say? | 09:42 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: well the current router is acting as gateway and wifi at this point and is connected to the server and then the second router Is going to be attached to the 2nd nic | 09:42 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: it says operation not possible | 09:42 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: it is biggest brand in india | 09:42 |
| needhelpnoob | or something similar | 09:42 |
| Ruge | is Xubuntu downloadable in a minimal form (so i can get drivers as I need them)? | 09:42 |
| gammy | abe3k: Dude aren't you even *trying* to find this on google? | 09:42 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: ah, i see now!\ | 09:42 |
| auswald | Anyone here that can help me with my weird permissions and ownership on /media/cdrom0? | 09:42 |
| dirtyhawk | Ruge: not without using a commandline shell | 09:43 |
| rsmith16384 | can someone test my port forwarding? ftp://guest:guest@robertandkarensmith.com | 09:43 |
| gammy | abe3k: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html | 09:43 |
| gammy | abe3k: Google is your friend. | 09:44 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i also contact with hcl but they give me clear answer that no support for linux | 09:44 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: this is what happens rm: cannot remove directory `/media/sdb1/aaaaaa/Templates': Operation not supported | 09:44 |
| atax | Hi all, when changing directories in Nautilus for example from /usr to /usr/bin, it takes Nautilus approx 40 seconds, before displaying the directory content (my pc is 2 months old, running Ubuntu 8.10). Any ideas? | 09:44 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Is the device read-only? | 09:45 |
| Freku | seems to work | 09:45 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: yeah, ubuntu forums, reluctantly, comes up completely dry | 09:45 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: brb | 09:45 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: pretty uncommon for ubuntu! | 09:45 |
| dirtyhawk | needhelpnoob: "rm" is for deleting files, not directories. | 09:45 |
| babo | how do i connect to wireless with ubuntu ? | 09:45 |
| ditch64 | someone here familiar with grub? | 09:45 |
| rsmith16384 | did you see any folders? | 09:45 |
| needhelpnoob | dirtyhawk: ok i'll try it out | 09:45 |
| gammy | dirtyhawk: Incorrect. rm -r implies "remove directories and their contents recursively" | 09:45 |
| [mbm] | ditch64: can be used to delete directories with -r | 09:45 |
| gammy | dirtyhawk: from rm(1). | 09:45 |
| needhelpnoob | ok so im doing it right then? | 09:45 |
| Gr3yW0lf | using hrparm -X is quite risky :P ... oh fun!! :) | 09:46 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: they told me that if linux support your hardware automatically than it is ok otherwise they cannot do anythind | 09:46 |
| auswald | Anyone here that can help me with my weird permissions and ownership on /media/cdrom0? | 09:46 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: yeah, that's the normal response ;) | 09:46 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: I bet the drive is read-only :P | 09:46 |
| ditch64 | for real tho, im trying to reinstall grub and it wont probe for devices, and i type setup (hd0) and it says invalid device requested | 09:46 |
| dirtyhawk | gammy: "rm -r X" meaning "delete X recursively", not "delete folder X". | 09:46 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4.0K 2008-11-13 01:01 aaaaaa | 09:46 |
| gammy | dirtyhawk: Actually, look at the manual. | 09:46 |
| needhelpnoob | rwx means i have read/write/execute amarit? | 09:47 |
| needhelpnoob | *amarite | 09:47 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: yes but it can still be read-only. | 09:47 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: yes this is simple response to get rid of | 09:47 |
| [mbm] | Gr3yW0lf: it should default to the fastest udma mode both the computer and drive support | 09:47 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: how do i fix this? | 09:47 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: For example, imagine a locked floppy drive or SD card set to "locked". | 09:47 |
| sebsebseb | so 64bit proccessor? model name: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ ,but is there any real advantage of gettring rid of hardy 32bit and putting ibex 64bit on? | 09:47 |
| sebsebseb | 2GB RAM | 09:47 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: yea i see ur point | 09:47 |
| woody86 | what are the minimum requirements to run ubuntu or xubuntu? | 09:47 |
| sebsebseb | what advantage would I gain with 64bit Ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: so what should i do? | 09:47 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: linux is not so much popular in india | 09:48 |
| ditch64 | sebsebseb: probably not | 09:48 |
| Kartagis | hello? do i need wpa_supplicant to be able to load wireless certificate into ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| ditch64 | sebsebseb: nothing from what i heard | 09:48 |
| sebsebseb | woddy86: 256mb RAM however with 128MB and a swap partition already on there, you can run Ubuntu | 09:48 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i though you said you had a switch on the lan side? | 09:48 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Do you know where the physical device is? | 09:48 |
| [mbm] | sebsebseb: you probably won't notice a difference; becomes important when you have >4G ram | 09:48 |
| ditch64 | im trying to reinstall grub and it wont probe for devices, and i type setup (hd0) and it says invalid device requested | 09:48 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i am trying my best to distribute it | 09:48 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: well, this problem is not completely impossible to solve | 09:48 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: ..ugh.. what do you mean by that? i know the name of the drive.. | 09:48 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: let's try something: | 09:48 |
| sebsebseb | mbm: maybe it has more than 2GB RAM, is there a way to find out? | 09:48 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: ok suggest me | 09:48 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Ok here's a simple test. Can you *create* a file in that directory? | 09:49 |
| [mbm] | sebsebseb: free -h | 09:49 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server | 09:49 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: i think that's the right command... | 09:49 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: yes i can | 09:49 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: that should be a sudo command | 09:49 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i do not know | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:49 |
| JihadJack | hey folks, if i have a xubuntu box, do i get a desktop if i ssh to it from an ubuntu laptop ? or do i need to use some kind of RDC ? | 09:49 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: i've also succesfully managed to delete other files. it just wont let me delete folders which i suspect are infected with viruses | 09:49 |
| LukeL | sebsebseb your bios should report the actual amount of ram | 09:50 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: ok. What does rm --verbose -r <directory> say? | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | JihadJack: ssh only give you cli | 09:50 |
| ditch64 | !grub | 09:50 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | JihadJack: you could vnc over the ssh connection | 09:50 |
| auswald | Anyone here that can help me with my weird permissions and ownership on /media/cdrom0? noob at this and the permissions are stopping me from installing something from a CD | 09:50 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: here is otput | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | JihadJack: or use xforwarding | 09:50 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: wait, i meant, xserver-xorg | 09:50 |
| [mbm] | JihadJack: ssh will give you a commandline | 09:50 |
| kanhiya78 | ok | 09:50 |
| sebsebseb | well even with 2GB I guess for some things there will be a bit of an advantage with 64bit Ubuntu? | 09:50 |
| ditch64 | sombody please PM me when theyre free | 09:50 |
| Ruge | hmm just to see performance, and if i like the environment, i might try a 7.04 install 2nite, and get the latest version off a friend when i go to his place | 09:50 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: well yes but it also handles wifi | 09:51 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: it has a bunch of lines saying operation not supported and one with this: rm: cannot remove `/media/sdb1/aaaaaa/Microsoft/Windows/WER/ReportQueue/Report05786e2d': Input/output error | 09:51 |
| linguini | I don't understand "we don't touch ifupdown managed interfaces in gutsy network-manager anymore. Servers should usually not be run on network-manager manged interfaces. Use /etc/network/interfaces instead." | 09:51 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: and you just wanna throw another wireless router on the switch? | 09:51 |
| JihadJack | ActionParsnip, if i use xforwarding can i log into both machines at once? or am i only logged into the xubuntu machine? | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: if you have 64bit hardware your data will flow quicker, for desktops under 3Gb I always install 32bit | 09:51 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: io error. That *heavily* indicates drive failure. Do you see anything in dmesg about this? | 09:51 |
| ditch64 | nevermind | 09:51 |
| Ayabara | a friend tried 8.04->8.10 upgrade now, and something went wrong. /boot/grub/menu.lst shows 8.10-stuff, but at boot he only sees 8.04 options | 09:52 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71294/ | 09:52 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: 2GB RAM | 09:52 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: uh... what's dmesg? and what should i do with it xD | 09:52 |
| linguini | I think I need to change the networking on my ubuntu server to avoid a mysql startup problem. | 09:52 |
| [mbm] | sebsebseb: not particularly .. just means that the computer deals with 64bit numbers instead of 32bit numbers .. guessing you're not doing any heavy math that requires 64bit, and your memory fits in a 32bit number .. so not much point | 09:52 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: type 'dmesg'. Do you see any errors related to this? | 09:52 |
| St3rnchen | hi | 09:52 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: it's got hardy 32bit on here now, and I am thinking about if I remove stuff from it after upgrade or before, or just clean install with Ibex 64bit | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | JihadJack: the xserver is not constrained to running on the loccal system, if you have suitable libs you can see and use your apps as if they were local | 09:52 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: yeah, i meant xserver-xorg | 09:52 |
| ct529 | hi! If you have a deb package, how do you get information on how was the package configured at compilation time? | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: if you are changing architectures i'd do a clean install | 09:53 |
| sebsebseb | mbm: maybe so ,but if I am going to clean install UBuntu anyway | 09:53 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: i.e. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:53 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: type full command | 09:53 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: there are few lines similar to this: [ 616.695613] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | JihadJack: or you cn vnc over, tbh you can do most tasks at cli | 09:53 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: not quiet it's going to be an switch combined with accesspoint | 09:54 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: fd0. That's a floppy drive. I am assuming that it's not related? Or is your /media/sd* actually your floppy? | 09:54 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well hardy has quite a lot of stuff I won't really want in the Ibex install. so may as well clean install and do 64bit I think as well, even if nothing will really be gained from it, but if the hardware can do it, may as well I guess | 09:54 |
| JihadJack | ActionParsnip, cheers for your help =P | 09:54 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: and you're only using 2 interfaces on the server? | 09:54 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: now window opens what to do | 09:54 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: yes I do | 09:54 |
| grep65535 | sebner, you on intel or amd? | 09:54 |
| auswald | Anyone here that can help me with my weird permissions and ownership on /media/cdrom0? | 09:54 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: so, it's just like the blue portion of this: http://www.greamin.com/server/_images/RichNet1.png | 09:55 |
| hellues | ns identify muhhaha | 09:55 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: lol no it's a hdd. i dont see any errors relating to sdb1 | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: if you have your ~/ backed up sufficiently, the settings for your apps will (majoritively) transfer | 09:55 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: What do you mean by "weird"? | 09:55 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Ok | 09:55 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71295/ | 09:55 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yeah well there isn't really anything to back up on this PC, except for if anything .mozilla and things like that | 09:55 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: What if you tail /var/log/syslog, anything? | 09:55 |
| auswald | Dirty: basically im trying to install something from a CD, and the permissions are not allowing me to - im new to ubuntu so i dont quite understand the problem exactly | 09:55 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: here is output of command | 09:55 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: select yes, or the default for most of the options | 09:56 |
| auswald | Dirty: Was also being helped about it in wine forums (its WoW: WOTLK) and they said to come here and ask about the permission problems | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: well run your backup just before and restore later, if your ~/ is on a separate partition then even better | 09:56 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: just this Nov 13 09:50:58 ed-desktop ntfs-3g[6841]: Delete failed: Operation not supported | 09:56 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: ok | 09:56 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: there should, at some point, be presented a list of screen resolutions to select | 09:56 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Ah that's interesting | 09:56 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: ok | 09:56 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yep seperate partiiton is good, but not needed for this PC | 09:56 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: please wait | 09:57 |
| Acid | ciaoooo | 09:57 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: My name's not "Dirty". However, did you try to look at System -> Users and Groups and check your permission to use CD-ROM-drives? | 09:57 |
| Acid | !it | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: it makes backups easier and if your system falls over the partition will be untouched. makes reinstalles easier | 09:57 |

| needhelpnoob | gammy: also this Nov 13 09:50:58 ed-desktop ntfs-3g[6841]: Record 188408 has no FILE magic (0x44414142) | 09:57 |
| auswald | Dirtyhawk: Let me take a peak at that | 09:57 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: it shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't let another DHCP server screw up IP address management | 09:58 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: wait a sec; wine? do you want to install a windows-application? | 09:58 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: I know, but this PC well it's lame. it's sadly in XP Home 32bit most of the time when on, since my parnats are locked into Windows. my little brother who is 7 will use Ubuntu again if I put on some better games for him, and I will sometimes use this computer, but I got my own so yeah | 09:58 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: do you recognise the directory names which are failing to be deleted? | 09:58 |
| orgthingy | sound aint working anymore, everytime i have to REBOOT to have sound working again? | 09:58 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: the thing is i had other files on those folders and they deleted fine. i deleted a 15gb or so worth of files and it left a few out.. saying operation not supported | 09:58 |
| orgthingy | whats this | 09:58 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: also only got 15GB for Ubuntu which should be ok, unless I go ISO crazy or something. | 09:58 |
| orgthingy | what kind of lame bug is this o__O | 09:58 |
| auswald | Dirtyhawk: yes i do, but the people over on the wine IRC said there was a problem with my cdrom permissions | 09:59 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: I bet you they're reparse points | 09:59 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: on any one segment of a network, two dhcp server working autonomously never ever play nice, and wreak all sorts of havoc | 09:59 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Such files cannot be deleted with ntfs-3g yet. | 09:59 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: could resize XP on here I know and my Dad probably would never notice, an Gparted has been rather good when it came to resizing XP, but if it goes wrong hummm | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: yeah 15Gb is way enough, you need about 2Gb for a comfortable install | 09:59 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: yes. they are from my old windows installation .. i think they are the folders infected withviruses | 09:59 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: I try not to lol I put everything on static however is this setup going to be a problem for the bridging? | 09:59 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: ah, you don't need it | 09:59 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: sutoid question, but: did you install wine? | 09:59 |
| dirtyhawk | stupid | 09:59 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: i got the story wrong | 09:59 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: of course i did lol. | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: just remember to backup so you can recover if stuff goes wrong | 10:00 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: so there's nothing i can do? ...if not.. is there a way i could do it through windows? | 10:00 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: ok, just wanted to be sure | 10:00 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: I knew 64bit wasn't really about speed, but as a result, it probably won't run that much better than 32bit Ubuntu or 32bit XP on this computer? | 10:00 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: sry | 10:00 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Which version of ubuntu are you running? | 10:00 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: did not get any option for resolution only option for keyboard was there | 10:00 |
| |Chrizz| | I have a dualboot. Ubuntu and windows XP. Is it possible to configure virtualbox, that it loads its stuff from the windowsxp dir? | 10:00 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: bridging is for situations, like mine in the server guide, when you have several interfaces, for example, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, etc... | 10:00 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: 8.04 | 10:00 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: its understandable | 10:00 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: 64bit | 10:00 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: and maybe hardly any if any at all gain will be done, but may as well do it if the hardware suppourts I Think | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: i doubt it. plus web plugins are more supported in 32bit | 10:00 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: sorry I am not that well equiped :-) | 10:00 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: *sigh* what a pain! in my past, i was always presented with a list of resolutions... | 10:00 |
| linguini | Freaking NetworkManager/avahi-daemon/mysql ! | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: if thats the intention of the system id definately go 32bit | 10:00 |
| sebsebseb | ActoinParsnip: yes, but the 32bit ones can be run on 64bit UBuntu | 10:00 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: it's not your fault, it's x.org's | 10:00 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: have to keep my wife happy though | 10:00 |
| auswald | Dirtyhawk: my "normal" user has full permissions on everything, But root has no permissions at all. Could that be the problem? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: its very little gain for a tonne more work. give it a go, see what you reckon | 10:01 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well FLash will be used yes, but I heard before that Java is the issue not FLash | 10:01 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: what can i do? | 10:01 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: otherwhise she is going to get crazy and mad and while she's pregnant that's not a pretty sight | 10:01 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: bridging is for situations when you want eth0 + eth1 + eth2 = bri0 | 10:01 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: ? | 10:01 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: yes | 10:01 |
| === sean is now known as Guest60226 | ||
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: i dunno yet, lemme google around a bit | 10:01 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: you could always try upgrading ntfs-3g, however if my guess is correct then it isn't a bug. | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: flash is still flakey, nspluginwrapper helps lots | 10:02 |
| needhelpnoob | gammy: ok thanks for the help :D i'll try it out | 10:02 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: I don't know if it is possible in windows. Unfortunately I know nothing of it. You could simply try removing them from windows I suppose | 10:02 |
| jinx_ | I need some help getting ufs write support working | 10:02 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well even on 32bit Ubuntu there can be FLash issues, I have experiend that on my other PC | 10:02 |
| gammy | needhelpnoob: Sure. | 10:02 |
| orgthingy | meh | 10:02 |
| orgthingy | anyone? | 10:02 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: that sounds barely possible. but as you want to install it for your user (not for root) it should not be a problem. can you open the cd in file-browser and copy the instal files to your desktop? | 10:02 |
| orgthingy | sound problems here? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: its a proprietary software, its gonna have issues | 10:02 |

| Guest60226 | hi just installed moodle with synaptic on Ubuntu HH, but can't find how to activate it (or any docs) | 10:03 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yep indeed | 10:03 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: cant, everytime i try to copy the files it says i dont have permission to | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: but adoe are too stupid to release info so an open plugin can e made | 10:03 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: can you paste this file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 10:03 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i can wait for 9.04 right? i am not able to find solution for my resolution | 10:03 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: ok | 10:03 |
| mynoonq8 | hi | 10:03 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well for a few things where wine won't cut it and probably not cedega or codeweavers either, or they would if I Knew how to get working | 10:03 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: we're not done yet ;) | 10:03 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: b/c i don't make a very good quitter... | 10:04 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: I will have a XP SP1 VM that is offline. XP SP1 since I don't need SP2/3 for that, and also if I do that then I got 4GB or so wasted with that crap | 10:04 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: whats your question my friend? | 10:04 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: where as XP SP1 in virutalbox VM is only like 1GB :D | 10:04 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 x64 right now, been running it since release of 'stable' and so far I've had no problems at all | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: just use wine instead of cedega | 10:04 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: all that stuff about your wife getting mad. | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: cedega is paidfor software | 10:05 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? command not found | 10:05 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: seemed like the train got derailed | 10:05 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: could have Flash running in Winblows VM if it was ever nessarey, but I don't think that will be the case even on 64bit Ubuntu :D | 10:05 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, and i watch movies, usually have 30-60 tabs in firefox open, skype, tons of things... I've only been unable to install like 2 firefox extensions and 1 trivial app in synaptic | 10:05 |

| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: alright, on the command line: "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 10:05 |

| rdw200169_ | paul68: ah, i see | 10:05 |

| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: ive not really had issue with it, ive just heard stuff in here | 10:05 |

| Doodz | hey peoples: If I have installed a Wifi PCI Card and Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't pick it up automatically. Does anyone know how I install new hardware such as a PCI card in Ubuntu ? | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodz: lspci | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodz: then websearch from there | 10:06 |
| Mal3ko | what does cmd "cat" do actually? | 10:06 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, Cedega contributes to the Wine project anyway, so you're getting the same product, just it wont be holding your hand on the execution | 10:06 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: model name: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ and 2GB RAM I probably won't gain much from 64bit UBuntu, but may as well since the hardware can do it | 10:06 |
| rdw200169_ | Mal3ko: catenate, | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodz: you shouldve looked on the HCL list and bought the most linux friendly wifi card you could | 10:07 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71297/ | 10:07 |
| gammy | Mal3ko: 'cat' concatenates files. | 10:07 |

| gammy | Mal3ko: By default, it does it to stdout. | 10:07 |
| zauber | I would like to connect to my home network from my iphone through a vpn. I have a dlink router and a ubuntu (feisty) machine behind it on the home network. I was thinking I could configure some vpn-server to run on the ubuntu machine. Seems like a common enough setup but I'm having a hard time finding simple step-by-steps for this. Anyone got good ideas? | 10:07 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, I'm using AMD as well, so far i've had not issues | 10:07 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: I think you meant Codeweavers does, Cedega don't they just took wine code years ago and never gave anything back | 10:07 |
| rdw200169_ | Mal3ko: old school term for 'dump the contents out' | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Mal3ko: it can be used to output text from text files | 10:07 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: for CDROM it would be like E: or something of the like correct? | 10:07 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, oh yea.... crossover.. i switched'm | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !vpnd | 10:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vpnd | 10:07 |
| Mal3ko | oh..i get it now.. | 10:07 |
| Doodz | ActionParsnip: Cool thanks... so if Ubuntu doesn't pick it up then I don't have much chance of installing the one I've got ? | 10:07 |
| sebsebseb | and yes I would rather use open source wine, then the propritary ones | 10:08 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: no, it should be "/media/disc/" or something like that. | 10:08 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: that's the whole file? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodz: depends on the chip on the card | 10:08 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, I'm running AMD also, no problems at all with flash or the other popular "problems" of x64, and my systems is used constantly every day | 10:08 |
| sebsebseb | however sometimes the propritary ones can be useful | 10:08 |
| === e is now known as Guest38328 | ||
| Doodz | Action: ok lets pretend it has a linux friendly chip | 10:08 |
| gammy | Mal3ko: Actually it means "to link together" or "to chain" | 10:08 |

| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: i have selected all | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | zauber: if your router is a vpn server you can connect to that and act as if you are on the LAN | 10:08 |
| sebsebseb | ,but in my case it would always be try app in wine first, then if no good there, try in others, then if no good in that yep Windows vm. and that's fine unless a 3d game of course | 10:08 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: whatever.. | 10:08 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: let me paste it again | 10:09 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: The difference is significant. | 10:09 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: no that's ok | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: 3d accelleration in virtual systems doesnt really run great | 10:09 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, my reason for 64bit was basically 'why not' I've got 4GB ram, but i only ever use about 2-3 at any time | 10:09 |
| sebsebseb | well this computer has only 2GB RAM | 10:09 |
| sebsebseb | ,but even so | 10:09 |
| sebsebseb | why not? | 10:09 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: yes, but the term catenate, or concatenate, whatever is chain, add | 10:09 |
| Doodz | ActionParsnip: ok lets pretend it has a linux friendly chip | 10:09 |
| zauber | ActionParsnip: ah. so I'll need to setup my ubuntu machine as gateway? port forwarding through the router won't work? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | zauber: if not then port forward to a system to manage vpn and run a VPNd | 10:09 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, for pretty dang good windows-app interoperability I use VirtualBox | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodz: then absolutely | 10:09 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: somebody two days ago said to delete some lines from it | 10:09 |
| zauber | ActionParsnip: cool. thanks | 10:09 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: the colloqial understanding, according to unix users, is dump contents | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | zauber: if your router can act as a VPN server then you have no work to do :) | 10:10 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: to resume I don't get into trouble for the nat translation between 2nd nic and switch? | 10:10 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: and he was not able to solve my problem | 10:10 |
| Doodz | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu would just pick it up automatically and it would work ? would manual intervention sometimes be required ? | 10:10 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yes I know 3D is out for vm's | 10:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: no, there shouldn't be a problem | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodz: you REALLY should have looked at compatible cards though, saves heartache | 10:10 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, I installed ubuntu_64 expecting to run into a wall of problems, and it ended up being mostly hype | 10:10 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: you can add as much garbage behind that switch as you want | 10:10 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: yep Virtualbox or Qemu :D | 10:10 |

| gammy | rdw200169_: A simplified explanation, sure. "concatenate" still doesn't *mean*, nor is it analogous to "dump". | 10:12 |
| SlimeyPete | ChrisW: you mean you want to be able to use the peripherals in Linux, or just in your Windows VM? Are they USB? | 10:12 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: you still keep surprising me with the knowledge that you have please do remind me when you have that book ready | 10:12 |

| sebsebseb | grep65535: well it's a bit like that with WIndows even, will it work well 64bit WIndows etc etc | 10:12 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: as long as ip addresses are correct, there shouldn't be a problem | 10:12 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy, i'm refferring to the programmers definition, the same guys that wrote the cat command for instance, in that they mean for it to mean, 'add junk together', i.e. 'conCATenate strings' and so on... | 10:13 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: Please remember that "dump" implies *emptying* something. | 10:13 |
| Mal3ko | one more, how do we create a filelist containing all files in a folder? | 10:13 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, yea, I stripped down Vistax64 with vlite and it installs fine and runs apps fine, in fact I've only run into one problem with vista64, and it had a quick fix via 1 search on google | 10:13 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: okay, try to open a terminal and do "cd /media/ && ls" | 10:13 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: have you finished searching on google | 10:13 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: That's why I'm objecting here.. | 10:13 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: yes, but it's rather pointless to expect someone to under stand, 'could you please 'concatenate' that to the terminal? | 10:13 |
| Mal3ko | along with their relative paths | 10:13 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: now what? | 10:13 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: one of the directories in there is your CD-Drive | 10:14 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: now what to do/ | 10:14 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: yeah, CD drive is /media/cdrom0/ | 10:14 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: maybe "disc" | 10:14 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: Yes. But "join this with that" isn't hard to understand, and it's not implying anything that's factually incorrect. | 10:14 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: so I really don't see the problem with saying that :) | 10:14 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: do you think I will get any noticable gain in 64bit Ubuntu and only 2GB RAM? and usage well native Linux games, Firefox, some WIne stuff, and that's about it | 10:14 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: sounds good. then "cd ./cdrom0" | 10:14 |

| auswald | dirtyhawk: you mean cd to /media/cdrom0/ ? | 10:15 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, you'll be year 2038 compliant though ;-) | 10:15 |
| laobing | #ubuntu-cn | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefoxx: do you mean for graphical resolutions? | 10:15 |
| ChrisW | they're a combination of USB and PCI | 10:15 |
| bluefoxx | ActionParsnip; ye | 10:15 |
| bluefoxx | a | 10:15 |

| sebsebseb | grep65535: maybe there will be a very tiny gain it will just hardly be noticable | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefoxx: some gfx cards still use it, so yes | 10:15 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: look, i'm a staunch grammar nazi like many, and i'm writing a research paper on the use of punctuation, but there's a line drawn on this, the use of the command 'cat' | 10:16 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: ok leave it but will you tell me how to use webcam using ubuntu | 10:16 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, I'm using the nvidia driver, so 3D should run fine | 10:16 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: should copy everythink from the cd to your desktop | 10:16 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: can I throw in my new dhcp config and bindconfig onto my server without getting the things screwed up? or is that given the current setup not a whise Idea? | 10:16 |
| rdw200169_ | kanhiya78: no, i've never used one... | 10:16 |
| bluefoxx | i have a laptop with a internal LCD that runs native to 1024x768 but ubuntu *always* defaults to 800x600 with no other options | 10:16 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, it's just a matter of what architecture the source for the app is compiled against i think, apps dont actually have to be build to utilize the extended functionality | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefoxx: yeah i'd add the modes line, see what you get | 10:16 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: my Dad bought this PC not me, but still why sell a 64bit proccessor with only 2GB RAM? | 10:17 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: i have same problem | 10:17 |
| bluefoxx | ActionParsnip; thanks | 10:17 |
| rdw200169_ | bluefoxx: looks like you and kanhiya78 have something in common | 10:17 |
| rdw200169_ | ah, she beat me | 10:17 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: does it work? | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefoxx: you can always remove it / modify if its not good | 10:17 |
| bluefoxx | rdw200169_; yes, i noticed that earlier | 10:17 |
| rdw200169_ | take that, FloodBot2 | 10:17 |
| saujiro | assalamu alaikum? | 10:17 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: getting no such file or directory still | 10:17 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: and it has not been solved yet | 10:17 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: Dude saying "dump" implies removing the original contents and this is *not* okay to say to someone. I really don't see your problem with this fact. Sure it might be obvious for an English-speaking person, but if you're in bloody india or czech it might not be as clear and will surely lead to confusion. So let's just drop this, ok? | 10:17 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: i am new to linux and you | 10:18 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: future compliance, cuz the whole RAM/OS thing is a separate issue altogether from what hardware to bundle together | 10:18 |
| dirtyhawk | but you can "cd /media/cdrom0"? | 10:18 |
| bluefoxx | i found the code http://paste.ubuntu.com/71300/ in another xorg.conf | 10:18 |
| auswald | yes | 10:18 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: depends on how you specify the definition of dump | 10:18 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: meaning? | 10:18 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: then try "ls" there | 10:18 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: I got my Opteron with only 2GB initially, and I got my Core2Duo with only 512MB on it initially | 10:18 |
| dirtyhawk | if there's nothin in it, your cd-drive is not mounted correctly | 10:18 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: the definition is pretty damn solid. | 10:18 |
| bluefoxx | kanhiya78; been using on and off[depending on if i want to games or work] for a year and a half | 10:18 |
| SlimeyPete | ChrisW: the USB ones *might* work via VirtualBox's USB passthrough. The PCI ones won't work in a VM - the VM can't see the real PCI devices that are in teh ssytem, only emulated ones. | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefoxx: thats a lot, wowser | 10:18 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb, but both are 64-bit capable | 10:18 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: if the RAM is upgraded? then it can do 64bit well? | 10:19 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: Shows DirectX and Installer.exe - the 2 items in the folder | 10:19 |
| sebsebseb | more RAM and then it can do 64bit well? | 10:19 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: not if you use the computer science definition | 10:19 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: i found someone who has same problem | 10:19 |
| bluefoxx | kanhiya78; oh? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: the more ram will allow more concurrent applications | 10:19 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: the RAM has nothing to do with the 64-bit aspect of it. It's just... 32-bit OS's simply won't read the ram over 3.8GB, regardless of your CPU bits | 10:19 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: can I throw in my new dhcp config and bindconfig onto my server without getting the things screwed up? or is that given the current setup not a whise Idea? as I still need to buy the second switch | 10:19 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: what does "wine /media/cdrom0/installer.exe" produce? | 10:19 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: oh yeah, sorry ;) | 10:20 |
| babo | how do i connect to wireless with ubuntu ? | 10:20 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: or "Installer.exe", remember linux to be case-sensitive | 10:20 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: wine: could not load L"E:\\Installer.exe": Module not found | 10:20 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: is the second switch going to be piggy-backed on the first? | 10:20 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: fedora did not work a bit, solaris did not work a bit, but ubuntu works on my system | 10:20 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: You mean like the explanation of a core dump? I'm a software developer and I still don't have a clue at your "computer science definition" nor can I actually find one that differs from the English(British) one. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: install your wifi adapter properly, then use something like wifi-radar to configure the connection | 10:20 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: If you can point me to one I'd gladly read it. | 10:20 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: 64bit Ibex then it will be on here | 10:21 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, can't i just use gnome ? | 10:21 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: the second switch is going to get attached to the 2nd nic of the server | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: yes you can, but gnome wont do anything to your wifi adapter | 10:21 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, why a wifi adapter ? i have a wireless card | 10:21 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: where's the first going? | 10:21 |
| bluefoxx | kanhiya78; ubuntu is supposed to be new-user friendly. solaris is generally for Sun Microsystems machines [or in my case it is] and fedora i have yet to find time to test | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: same thing | 10:21 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, how do i connect properly using gnome ? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: you need to make sure proper drivers are installed first | 10:22 |
| sebsebseb | bluefoxx: not quite so true now. Solaris is becoming more like Linux a lot more like UBuntu in fact | 10:22 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: when it comes to something as significant as an architecture upgrade like that, the best thing I can tell you is, give it a shot, if it doesn't work out well, then you know that for *your* hardware you need to wait a bit longer | 10:22 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: after reading some files system hangs using solaris or fedora , at last i try ubuntu and it works | 10:22 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, right. after that. how do i connect using gnome ? | 10:22 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: seems to be a bit of pretty old software you want to install. it sounds to me as if it wants to use windows-drive-names, and that of course does not work on linux, for "E:" does not make sense there | 10:22 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: but, in my experience, it's been flawless | 10:22 |
| ChrisW | SlimeyPete: oh, rats :-( | 10:22 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dump entry 4. | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: you can use network manager in your system tray | 10:22 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: I don't really understand so much the difference between 32bit and 64bit | 10:22 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: Its World of warcraft: wrath of the lich king. Just came out 2 hours ago :P | 10:22 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: still there is something that i want from ubuntu | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: gnome is only the desktop environment, the rest are programs | 10:23 |
| ChrisW | maybe on that box I'll just need to run Ubuntu on a vm on Windows | 10:23 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, Network Settings ? | 10:23 |
| ChrisW | what's the best way of doing that? | 10:23 |
| sebsebseb | ChrisW: what WIndows apps do you want to run? | 10:23 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980629 | 10:23 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: the difference the way I understand it is difficult to explain easily, the difference is in the programming. And essentially should only matter to programmers | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: yeah, you need to use the standard gnome app to configure the connection | 10:23 |
| bluefoxx | sebsebseb; oh? i only have a copy i intend to install on a old sunblade 150 that needs some parts... [RAM, keyboard] and tested it on a friends machine[we collect odd discarded computers. i have a sparc classic to use for IC once i get it a hdd] | 10:23 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: google is your freind | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dirtyhawk: so is ask.com :) | 10:23 |
| sebsebseb | bluefoxx: well opensolaris you can run on a PC, and it seems solaris itself as well | 10:24 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: to us, 64-bit is just a wider pipe for data to flow through, and enables applications to run smoother, and essentially do everything you'd expect next generation processors to do | 10:24 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: the first nic is connected to the first router after the isp modem | 10:24 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, System->Administration->Network ? | 10:24 |
| bluefoxx | hmm | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: you got it | 10:24 |
| babo | ActionParsnip, where does it list all available networks? | 10:24 |
| auswald | dirtyhawk: thanks i'll give that a try | 10:24 |
| tripitaka | Hello, I've got an old laptop with no CDROM, and no USB boot. How can I get ubuntu on it? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: if your wireless adapter isnt configured you wont be able to configure it | 10:24 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: looks like the exactly same problem. i hope it helps | 10:24 |
| kanhiya78 | bluefoxx: i installed it on my friend's pc and there it works best and my friend says wow but i was thinking how can i say wow for my computer | 10:24 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: so how about this, why don't we agree to disagree, and say that the 'cat' command conveniently, when used without arguments, pipes, or redirections, PRINTS the contents of a particular file to the stdout | 10:25 |
| grep65535 | tripitaka: floppy, net install? | 10:25 |
| ville | tripitaka: buy and external cd-rom drive | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !wifi | babo | 10:25 |
| ubottu | babo: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:25 |
| paul68 | rdw200169_: where this router is currently also active as accesspoint for the wifi devices | 10:25 |
| dirtyhawk | auswald: have fun with it | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: read that | 10:25 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: Cool - I have never ever seen that before. It's not in any other dictionary I know of. unfortunately, it uses the term 'transfer from', meaning 'convey from one place to another', implying removal from the previous destination! :D But yes, the definition is still understandable, obviously. | 10:25 |
| babo | k thanks | 10:25 |
| tripitaka | grep65535: It has an onboard NIC, and a floppy drive | 10:25 |
| Inf_lappy | is there a bug with network manager and how it meassures wireless connection quality? i'm sitting 1m from my access point and it's showing 5% right now | 10:25 |
| the9a3eedi | Hi. My laptop had a problem with the motherboard, so I had to go and fix it. Once I had it returned, they apparently changed the motherboard with another model's motherboard, so some components have changed.. namely the graphcis card. it's changed from 8600m GT to 9500m GS .. And now ubuntu (actually X11) is pretty unusuable, so I was wondering if theres a nice way to reconfigure X11. | 10:25 |
| sebsebseb | grep64435: ok sure, but since the proccessor can suppourt it, it seems: model name: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ | 10:25 |
| sebsebseb | I may as well do it | 10:26 |
| tripitaka | ville: with no USB boot, how is an external CD going to help? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Inf_lappy: you got latest updates? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Inf_lappy: it may be an acpi issue | 10:26 |
| Inf_lappy | never did that when i was running hardy | 10:26 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: I would prefer we agree on something more solid. We both know, for example, that cat secretes yummy data.. | 10:26 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: hu hu ;) | 10:26 |
| grep65535 | tripitaka: maybe you could find a network install boot floppy image, I'm not sure where though, but I know net install iso's are between like 26-40MB only, there's gotta be something for ubuntu | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Inf_lappy: well you got a whole new OS so its different | 10:26 |
| kanhiya78 | rdw200169_: ok thanks for trying a lot and spending your time with me. But my problem is still there.OKAY bye have a good day/night | 10:27 |
| tripitaka | grep65535: I was hoping to find a network install floppy | 10:27 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: and by the way, thanks for that link. | 10:27 |
| rdw200169_ | paul68: so you're gonna replace the wifi router you're using now to surf the net with a switch? | 10:27 |
| grep65535 | sebsebseb: give it a shot, the only way to find out is try. | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Inf_lappy: try a different network management app, it may report different | 10:27 |
| sebsebseb | grep65535: yep | 10:27 |
| Inf_lappy | ActionParsnip, i'm pretty sure it's a display problem because i'm pulling at full speed from archive.org | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Inf_lappy: then just ignore it | 10:28 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: i'm sure you're just waiting to use that definition against someone else that uses the word dump | 10:28 |
| tripitaka | is there a pxelinux.0 with the default ubuntu release? | 10:28 |
| gammy | rdw200169_: :D | 10:28 |
| ChrisW | hmm, what virtualisation software would people recommend that would let me run an ubuntu vm on a windows box? | 10:28 |
| rdw200169_ | gammy: just do me a favor, and don't forget about the serial comma | 10:28 |
| |Chrizz| | Im trying to reinstall ubuntu with a dualboot of XP. Neet do do the formatting manually. What does ubuntu need? (not the size, but the other things like ext3,swap etc | 10:29 |

| gammy | rdw200169_: I do prefer the oxford or, harvard comma! | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | |Chrizz|: you could make a partition for /home | 10:30 |
| JonathanEllis | Hi. I have 3 hard drives in my machine. The first device has three partitions: (1) a windows partition (not mounted in linux), (2) my linux root partition (mounted as /) and (3) swap partition. The second device has two partitions: home (mounted as /home) and swap. The third device has one partition which I am using as extra space (mounted as /home/jonathan/extraspace).

| grep65535 | avoinea: awesome, i have one more link for you to check out unless it's working >> | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | vinny: so if you know the one it is, you can create a symbolic link to essentially make a copy of the dev | 11:01 |
| ardchoille | johansja: No idea. My sda1 is 6gb and it packs down to under a gig with gz compression | 11:01 |
| |Chrizz| | adam7: Im still reinstalling ubuntu, so there is not much shutting off at the moment. | 11:01 |
| ardchoille | How do I get a titlebar when I have effects turned on? Titlebar disappeared. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | vinny: the system sees it as identical, you can create symlinks to files or folders, its transparent to the system | 11:01 |
| vinny | the program expects the dev to use v4l but it doesn't so I make a symbolic link from dev to 4vl | 11:01 |
| vinny | v4l* | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | vinny: so (example) if a webcam is represented by /dev/webcam but gyache expects it on /dev/goats you can run sudo ln -s /dev/webcam /dev/goats and it will then work | 11:02 |
| |Chrizz| | grep65535: My friend is really believing the serial key story | 11:02 |
| cYmen | what do you use to edit runlevels? | 11:03 |

| vinny | ok but what if gyache expects it to worktogether with with 4vl | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | vinny: you make the symlink inside /dev/ | 11:03 |
| grep65535 | |Chrizz|: next in line is to ask if he burned the ISO with the activation crack on it ;-) | 11:03 |
| vinny | to parallely startup 4vl | 11:03 |
| chuk_m | does anyone know in which package the sound card drivers on 8.04 are? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | vinny: no idea, its jus a file, the kernel will handle any resource squabbles | 11:03 |
| vinny | let me try | 11:03 |
| |Chrizz| | rofl | 11:03 |
| vinny | ActionParsnip so then I'll have to rename video0 to video and make ln -s video0 video + 4vl or something | 11:04 |

| [mbm] | mercutio22: ok, easy fix .. fdisk /dev/sda, then n for new partition, e for extended .. and then just accept the defaults and hit p | 11:44 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: it's when the bios tests the motherboard | 11:44 |
| ndlovu | rdw200169_, I don't remember for sure, but I imagine it would have done what it needed to since it loaded linux fine | 11:44 |
| grep65535 | ndlovu: I did all that in reverse order only to discover my own mistake the long way ;-) | 11:44 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: pastebin the results | 11:44 |
| Tyrath | can anyone help me put ubuntu on its own partition? | 11:45 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: i agree with the former poster though, that this is probably a power or temperature related issue, that should have been solved long ago | 11:45 |
| mercutio22 | mbm, whats the extended partition? | 11:45 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: random shutdowns are an indication of a major issue | 11:45 |

| Tyrath | I've got one partition with both windows and ubuntu on it | 11:46 |
| wayneward | any way to get rhytmn box to remember my daap shares? | 11:46 |
| Tyrath | as a result I can't have ubuntu handling boot as windows rules the partition | 11:46 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: could even be something obscure like the compound between the cpu and the heat sink | 11:46 |
| ditch64 | ok, straight out, some of you people can kinda be cocky, but very helpful, im happy you guys are here to help, i have learned a lot so far, thank you thank you thank you | 11:46 |
| ndlovu | rdw200169_, seemingly hard to pin down major issues :) | 11:46 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: did you build the computer, or is it off the shelf? | 11:46 |
| Mechdave | wayneward, for my DAAP shares rhythmbox just downloads the list after about 2 - 3 secs of clicking on the share | 11:46 |
| Baversjo | aksci: This is how I installed everything; First of the disk was totaly formated, nothing on it. Then I installed vista on a 80 gb partition (created in vista installation). Then I installed XP on a 20 GB partition created in the XP installation. I now had 200 unpartitioned diskspace. I Installed Ubuntu on all that diskspace. | 11:46 |
| woody86 | when I try to install 8.10 on my laptop, it keeps on giving me different disk errors. What's a good program to run to check if the disc is ok or not? | 11:46 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: legacy crap .. you can only have 4 partitions on the disk, after that one of the 4 has to be an "extended partition" with more partitions inside .. that blue outline you see in your screenshot | 11:47 |
| rdw200169_ | woody86: scandisk | 11:47 |
| Baversjo | aksci: 200 gb* | 11:47 |
| Mechdave | woody86, try fsck | 11:47 |

| mercutio22 | mbm http://www.pastebin.ca/1255145 | 11:47 |
| ndlovu | rdw200169_, I also suspected temperature, but I checked that with sensors, and it was fine... since it powers off at startup now, it's unlikely to be temperature. It was an off-the-shelf computer | 11:47 |
| wayneward | i have to tell my rythmn box the daap address everytime i use it! | 11:47 |
| rdw200169_ | woody86: it's the best, but you have to pay for it... sorry, i meant spinrite | 11:47 |
| grep65535 | king2676L howtoforge.com has some stuff I believe | 11:48 |
| Tyrath | Baversjo: if I have ubuntu and xp on the same partition can I relocate ubuntu to another partition? | 11:48 |
| Mechdave | wayneward, no DAAP should export the share across your network | 11:48 |
| Mechdave | wayneward, what DAAP server you using? | 11:48 |

| wayneward | it just shows on amarok | 11:48 |
| Baversjo | Tyrath: I have no idea, I'm new to Ubuntu | 11:48 |
| aksci | Baversjo, so during installation?... did ubuntu prompt you for xp settings?! | 11:48 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: you forgot the rest of it | 11:48 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: are you using an ungrounded power source? i.e. an old building or something? | 11:48 |
| wayneward | on rhtymn box i have to add | 11:48 |
| woody86 | Mechdave, rdw200169_ ok, what would be something I can do from a live cd?? | 11:49 |
| Tyrath | Baversjo: ah k. See I thought you installed both to different partitions. In which case I thought you would have set up a separate partition for each? | 11:49 |
| JonathanEllis | Can anyone tell me please, what is the function of the nosuid flag within fstab? | 11:49 |
| Baversjo | aksci: It asked me to import my documents but I declined. | 11:49 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: n <enter> e <enter> <enter> <enter> ... until you get back to the Command prompt, then p <enter> to show what it's about to do | 11:49 |

| king2676 | <grep65535> is ebox in ubuntu is also a good one? | 11:50 |
| Mechdave | woody86, from live distro open a terminal and sudo umount -a | 11:50 |
| ndlovu | rdw200169_, nope, it's going to an APC ups | 11:50 |
| mercutio22 | mbm, sorry man, I am a little confused. I will do that now | 11:50 |
| grep65535 | [mbm], mercutio22, good luck w/ that guys, sleep time for me >< hopefully it works out | 11:50 |
| Mechdave | then run fsck /dev/sda | 11:50 |
| aksci | Baversjo, post in your ~/menu.lst. if your vista is /sda1,... your xp should be /sda5 | 11:50 |
| mercutio22 | grep65535: ok, thanks for the help | 11:50 |
| yao_ziyuan | my ubuntu in macosx look (without the docker): http://i37.tinypic.com/j94xg7.png | 11:50 |

| wayneward | im runnng gos its just like mac osx!! | 11:50 |
| aksci | Baversjo, but thats apparantly not possible as neither vista nor xp allows installation on an extended partition | 11:50 |
| rdw200169_ | ndlovu: well, that kills the easy questions... | 11:51 |
| king2676 | has anyone tried ebox-ubuntu here? | 11:51 |
| rdw200169_ | king2676: i messed with it a little bit | 11:51 |
| JonathanEllis | JonathanEllis: This is a test to see if the sound works when someone says my name. Please ignore | 11:51 |
| grep65535 | king2676: I dont know much about ebox, but I'd start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 11:51 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: see above for fdisk commands | 11:51 |
| Mechdave | mercutio22, that is ok, the disk will still partition ok | 11:51 |
| wayneward | ebox for the xbox? | 11:51 |
| rdw200169_ | king2676: i would give it some more time to get into a more stable state, it's still missing a lot of features | 11:51 |
| Baversjo | aksci: http://pastebin.com/d133f0ae2 | 11:52 |
| aksci | Baversjo, okay Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary... is the error! so you might have installed xp the way Tyrath has, on the same drive | 11:52 |
| king2676 | <grep65535> thanks | 11:52 |
| rdw200169_ | ok, JonathanEllis | 11:52 |

| mercutio22 | mbm Its asking me where the " first cilinde" is. Can I just push enter, selecting the default option? | 11:53 |
| Baversjo | aksci: But I can see 2 windows partitions in the Ubuntu interface, the one on 80 gb and the one on 20 | 11:53 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: yep | 11:53 |
| Mechdave | mercutio22, just push enter | 11:53 |
| JonathanEllis | rdw200169_: Thanks. That works. Now I dont have to stare at the screen constantly in case I miss someone answering my questions :-D | 11:53 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: when you get back to the prompt, do 'p <enter>' to show the partitions | 11:53 |
| JonathanEllis | Can anyone tell me what the nosuid flag is for when I mount filesystems in fstab? | 11:53 |
| king2676 | <rdw200169_> i just check it but i like the gui coz its better than webmin, since still not good thats not promising if im going to try it if its still having bugs | 11:54 |
| [mbm] | JonathanEllis: means that chmod +s doesn't work on the filesystem, which means applications can't run as root unless you're logged in as root | 11:54 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 11:54 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 11:54 |

| Tyrath | yes! I just worked out how do make a new partition! | 11:55 |

| * Tyrath feels so intelligent all of a sudden | 11:56 | |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, Depends on what you are doing with your system | 11:56 |
| [mbm] | JonathanEllis: it's a security thing, but some programs need root permissions or they won't work, so you can't do it on your main filesystem | 11:56 |
| Baversjo | aksci: Do you know a solution? :P | 11:56 |
| Tyrath | I mean I sort of cheated cause I used GParted instead of console, but still... | 11:56 |
| mercutio22 | mbm ok, I don' t see the swap partition. and " e" wasn' t accepted as an option. http://www.pastebin.ca/1255148 | 11:57 |
| JonathanEllis | Mechdave and mbm: I am adding separate partitions in fstab for /home and /home/jonathan/extraspace. Should I set this flag on those? | 11:57 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, Personally I would not do it filesystem wide as it can screw a lot of things up really bad... I just stick with maybe making my home directory no suid if you are paranoid | 11:58 |
| chilli0_ | LOL netsplit | 11:58 |
| ikonia | chilli0_ why is that funny ? | 11:58 |
| JonathanEllis | Mechdave: So what will it prevent me screwing up? | 11:58 |
| Baversjo | aksci: sda5 is the Windows XP | 11:58 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: did you originally have a swap partition? | 11:58 |
| chilli0_ | it looks funny on mi iPod touch | 11:58 |

| EF_Codd | I want to do some sort of transparent disk/ partition encryption like with FreeBSD and gbde and geli. What options do I have with the ubuntu repositories? | 11:59 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, All the nosuid flag will do is stop anyone gaining sudo root privileges and executing files in your home directory | 11:59 |
| EF_Codd | It'll need swap encrption | 11:59 |
| Baversjo | aksci: Sorry? | 12:00 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, If someone is logged in as root, well they can do what they want | 12:00 |
| EF_Codd | I said I'll be needing answers. | 12:00 |
| mercutio22 | mbm yes... I think something is wrong. You see in the screenshot I sent you.. the last partition is fat32, I thought it would be my swap partition | 12:00 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, for a desktop I would not worry about it | 12:00 |
| JonathanEllis | How do I get rid of the annoying "<some user> left the room (quit: Client Quit)." messages? Sometimes the window scrolls by a hundred lines and I lose sight of the discussion | 12:00 |

| [mbm] | mercutio22: kkeep in mind that fdisk is showing you the partitions in a different order | 12:01 |

| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, no worries | 12:01 |
| ditch64 | JonathanEllis: i wish i knew | 12:01 |
| JonathanEllis | Can anyone tell me how to change the volume level for my swap partition? | 12:01 |
| mercutio22 | mbm ok, i see now | 12:01 |
| ditch64 | JonathanEllis: you mean the size?' | 12:02 |
| EF_Codd | Well, from all my searching it looks like you can't. Guess I'll have to stick with FreeBSD. I can't believe there isn't an equivalent solution. | 12:02 |
| ikonia | EF_Codd wait for a response | 12:02 |
| ikonia | EF_Codd: you've waited 2 minutes | 12:02 |
| mercutio22 | mbm, still... my swap is missing | 12:02 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: all the fdisk command I gave you did was mark the unallocated space linux (and it still hasn't changed it on disk yet) | 12:02 |
| ferronica | when i paused playing movie on VLC , again restarted there is no sound! | 12:03 |
| EF_Codd | ikonia yes. patience is a virtue. | 12:03 |
| ditch64 | just an FYI, i wouldnt play around with partitions while your booted, my HD ate itself because of that, use Live CD if your going to play with partitions | 12:03 |
| schnoodles | has anyone run into the bug (kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot...) when trying to boot into 8.10 ? | 12:03 |
| JonathanEllis | ditch64: No. I mean the partition volume label. I like to set a descriptive volume label for each partition so that if everything screws up and my mount points get lost I can see in GParted what each partition is supposed to be for | 12:03 |
| Mechdave | ferronica, try #vlc | 12:03 |
| mercutio22 | mbm ok, I know. Should we try to apply that or should I worry where my swap is? | 12:03 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, prolly not a good idea to change the volume name | 12:04 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: bring up another root terminal; apt-get install gpart; gpart /dev/sda | 12:04 |
| ferronica | Mechdave: not only vlc, no sound from from PC | 12:04 |
| ditch64 | JonathanEllis: ya im with mechdave on that one | 12:04 |

| Dexter | do you all have rassian people& | 12:25 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: since gparted doesn't want to tell us the proper size of the partition you might aswell go back to fdisk and write the modfied partition to disk, giving the entire unallocated space to linux .. that'll let you mount it and backup any data | 12:25 |

| adam7 | ikonia: Tyrath: is it possible to just dd the wubi file onto a parition? | 12:26 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: cause I don't get how ubuntu can take control of a system if it's not | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Tyrath I'm saying you can't move wubi | 12:26 |

| mercutio22 | mbm I have to recover grub as well right? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | adam7 thats an interesting point, I'd guess no, unless you put a good ammount of work in to make sure your disk sizes match | 12:27 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, you can use LVPM to move wubi to a partition | 12:27 |
| punktalk | ikonia: nvidia graphics card. dl driver thru hardware drivers, have to fix x-server to get back here. it says its in use, but not enabled. | 12:27 |
| ikonia | adam7: don't forget wubi just puts it on a "file" on the nfs disk | 12:27 |
| punktalk | ikonia: i need to find out how to load it without my visual failing. | 12:27 |
| Tyrath | Mechdave: does ubuntu control your boot? | 12:27 |
| ikonia | punktalk what happens when you click enable | 12:27 |
| adam7 | ikonia: yeah, never used wubi, it was just a suggestion :) getting the sizes to match would be a pain though | 12:27 |
| ikonia | punktalk: hav you rebooted since downloading | 12:27 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 12:27 |
| punktalk | asks me to restart | 12:27 |
| adam7 | Tyrath: if you have some sort of external hard drive, you can back up the wubi install and then restore it to a real partition | 12:27 |
| ikonia | adam7 I agree, potentially yes, but a real big effort | 12:27 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, it can | 12:27 |
| punktalk | ikonia: yes. it asks me to restart and i get the same problem. | 12:27 |
| ikonia | punktalk restart ? | 12:27 |
| schnoodles | is it possible to change your aptitude sources from within bash as where im trying to update from alot of the urls are broken | 12:27 |
| JonathanEllis | Is it good practise to have a dedicated boot partition? Currently I have winxp on a primary partition which is also the boot partition. Of course, when I eventually get round to deleting windows then I will need to rebuild GRUB so wondered if I should be proactive and make a small partition just for that. By the way, what is the point of primary partitions instead of making one extended partition and then making all partitions logical ones? | 12:27 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: just mount the partition, copy data off it and then reinstall linux properly .. not worth trying to recover any more with the partition in that state | 12:27 |
| punktalk | ive restarted when it asks me to several times, yes why? | 12:28 |
| Tyrath | Mechdave: so then you must have ubuntu running its own partition, no? | 12:28 |
| mercutio22 | mbm... agreed | 12:28 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: windows can't install on extended. if you plan on having more than one linux distro a boot parition won't hurt | 12:28 |
| sybux | Hi all, I've got some problem with a sshfs mount. | 12:28 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, I always have a dedicated /boot as if anything goes wrong ( as it has done) it is easier to access it from a grub boot floppy | 12:28 |
| sybux | I can edit files throw vi but not with gedit anyone know why ? | 12:28 |
| adam7 | sybux: do you need root to access it? | 12:29 |
| Tyrath | sybux: try sudo gedit | 12:29 |
| punktalk | ikonia: any ideas? thanks for the help man. | 12:29 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, If you set up grub to boot both Ubuntu and XP then Ubuntu must live on its own partition | 12:29 |
| savvas | punktalk: which nvidia graphics card do you have? can you post the output of this command (Applications > Accessories > Terminal): lspci | grep -i nv | 12:29 |
| ikonia | punktalk what card do you have ? I missed that | 12:29 |
| sybux | I've also tried but it also bad. I can only open the file in read-only mode | 12:29 |
| JonathanEllis | Mechdave and adam7: Thanks. So windows can only run from a primary partition - that sucks! But then so do most things MS - I should be used to it. Am I right in thinking you cant move a primary partition either? | 12:29 |
| punktalk | nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS. | 12:30 |
| punktalk | savvas: ill do that, hang on. | 12:30 |
| sybux | Tyrath: actually I open my sshfs connection with root | 12:30 |
| Tyrath | Mechdave: see the thing is if I want to change boot settings I have to use boot.ini on windows :/ | 12:30 |
| punktalk | savvas: what exactly should i look for with that command line? it gives a lot. | 12:30 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: I can't think of a reason you couldn't. What I would recommend (since you can only have three primary partitions) is one primary boot partition, one primary partition for whatever your current OS is (that way, if you need Windows in the future you can easily reinstall) and one extended partition for everything else | 12:31 |
| mercutio22 | mbm it looks like it was windows | 12:31 |
| ditch64 | hey could there be anything in the bios of my computer thats not letting me boot from grub? i get error 21 EVERY time on this stupid desktop nomatter what everybody tells me to do | 12:31 |
| mercutio22 | oh man | 12:31 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, that is right while you are running wubi, but if you use LVPM to put Ubuntu on sda2 then you use grub to change settings | 12:31 |
| savvas | punktalk: a line for "VGA" | 12:31 |
| adam7 | sybux: if you add a -o allow_others option to the sshfs command anyone can access it | 12:31 |
| punktalk | 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GTS (rev a1) | 12:31 |
| Tyrath | Mechdave: how do I do that? | 12:31 |
| sybux | adam7: it says : option allow_other only allowed if 'user_allow_other' is set in /etc/fuse.conf | 12:31 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, I have never worried about it... although I suppose you could use gparted | 12:32 |
| yedday | Can anyone tell mme the open source linux alternative to PDF XCHANGE VIEWER? | 12:32 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: ohwell, should be able to get data off it .. just not worth the effort to figure out the exact partition size | 12:32 |
| adam7 | Tyrath: do you have an external hard disk, usb flash drive, or something? you can just back up the wubi install, then restore it on a proper partition | 12:32 |

| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, I have swap on the same drive as the system with little or no slowdown, yo could put swap on a separate hard drive for added speed if you want | 12:37 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: if you use a lot of swap, having two hdds are a major advantage. If you plan to wipe your Windows install, what I would do is wipe it, then use gparted to resize that parition so that it's about 40MB smaller, and then make a 40MB boot partition at the beginning of the disk (assuming 40MB is enough for /boot) | 12:37 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: means our guess about where to put the partition was wrong | 12:37 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: if you never use swap, then there is no advantage to having it on two disks (ie, you have 6 GB of ram) | 12:37 |

| JonathanEllis | rdw200169_, adam7, Mechdave: I only have 1GB of RAM and no more space to install anymore.

| Tyrath | Mechdave: ok it's working now. I left out the http:// and for some weird reason it didn't work | 12:43 |
| savvas | punktalk: type it in (it won't show dots or stars or anything) and press enter | 12:43 |
| [mbm] | vpereira: don't hold your breath; most cheap wifi stuff uses broadcom chipsets | 12:43 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, you can get away with no swap if you want with 1Gb of ram | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: add yourself to the group "dialou" | 12:43 |
| punktalk | oh wow alright (im super newb btw) thanks man | 12:43 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, strange :/ | 12:43 |
| a_ | hi, i got ubuntu for my curiosity but if i cant figure out how to work a .run that isnt available on the package manager i wont have a graphics card and have to wipe it for windows again. any tips? | 12:43 |
| savvas | punktalk: we all passed that (weird) test ;) | 12:44 |
| a_ | i didnt | 12:44 |
| JonathanEllis | Mechdave: Well the swap partitions are not taking up too much of my 80GB of hard disk space so I will leave them there. I guess ubuntu wont use them unless it needs to | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | a_: you need to chmod a+x <filename>.run | 12:44 |
| punktalk | savvas: this came up, also what happened when i 'fix x-server': xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration | 12:44 |
| punktalk | file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20081113044344 | 12:44 |
| punktalk | (oops sorry. hahahah thanks savvas) | 12:44 |
| Mechdave | JonathanEllis, that is true | 12:44 |
| savvas | punktalk: that's ok, anything else? | 12:44 |
| [mbm] | a_: sh *.run | 12:44 |
| lovey | hi | 12:44 |
| rdw200169_ | JonathanEllis: you can see if it uses it in the System Monitor applet in gnome | 12:44 |
| JonathanEllis | Adam7: Unfortunately I am not willing to delete windows yet as I have one application that I need (to transfer data to my mobile phone) | 12:44 |
| a_ | mbm: means nothing to me | 12:44 |
| punktalk | savvas: uhh nope just took me back to the regular command line. | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | a_: run it in terminal | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !terminal | a_ | 12:45 |
| ubottu | a_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 12:45 |
| savvas | punktalk: ok great, do this now: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvigia-glx-new | 12:45 |
| a_ | with filepath aor anything? | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | a_: you need to be in the same folder as the file, or you can specify the file with absoluteness | 12:45 |
| jrib | a_: what .run? What is it for? | 12:45 |
| punktalk | savvas: E: Couldn't find package nvigia-glx-new | 12:46 |
| |Chrizz| | Why cant 2 diffrent programs send sounds over my soundcard? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: sounds like an nvidia driver to me | 12:46 |
| savvas | punktalk: my bad, try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | |Chrizz|: are you using alsa? | 12:46 |
| [mbm] | both ati and nvidia use the self extracting run files | 12:46 |
| punktalk | ahh thank you savvas | 12:46 |
| a_ | thats what i want nividia drivers for 7800 gs and its downloadable from nvidia but its a run file | 12:46 |
| JonathanEllis | Adam7: I dont know if WINE will work talking to a mobile phone on a USB cable. Suppose I could try it | 12:47 |
| |Chrizz| | ActionParsnip Yes | 12:47 |
| jrib | a_: Use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 12:47 |
| Mechdave | a_, ok you need to navigate to the same directory as the .run file through a terminal | 12:47 |
| rayb0t | hey does anybody use wine + steam here? i'm trying to install steam and it does not seem to install completely. trying to run it gives me various missing .dll problems.. | 12:47 |
| jrib | a_: a .run is not optimal | 12:47 |
| savvas | punktalk: tell me when it's done | 12:47 |
| punktalk | just finished | 12:47 |
| Mechdave | a_, then type sh name_of_file.run | 12:47 |
| punktalk | XD dude... thank you so much. | 12:47 |
| a_ | jrib: whatever works | 12:47 |
| a_ | will do dave | 12:47 |
| jrib | rayb0t: check appdb.winehq.org | 12:47 |
| savvas | punktalk: n/p, just hold a second :) | 12:48 |
| punktalk | =) aight | 12:48 |
| mercutio22 | mbm, have you heard of testdisk? | 12:48 |
| divine_ | ActionParsnip: think i know the problem, this is the permission on the files on the cdrom: drwx------ 2 501 dialout 492 2008-08-29 09:54 DirectX | 12:48 |
| a_ | terminal said "can't open file" | 12:49 |
| divine_ | ActionParsnip, so it denies everyone access because user 501 does not exist. where does ubuntu get this info from? where? | 12:49 |
| savvas | punktalk: ok, execute this: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: then you're stuck as its a ROM (read only memory) | 12:49 |
| ircdef | /q | 12:49 |
| iss | cn? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: depends wherre it was burned | 12:49 |

| Mechdave | a_, have yo followed the instructions from nvidia? | 12:49 |
| iss | "/join ##ubuntu-cn"? | 12:50 |
| divine_ | ActionParsnip, the permissions are NOT on CD/DVD! Ubuntu does that, not the dvd | 12:50 |
| a_ | they give none | 12:50 |
| [mbm] | mercutio22: haven't tried it .. did it work? | 12:50 |
| Mechdave | a_, yes | 12:50 |
| savvas | punktalk: paste the output to www.pastebin.com | 12:50 |

| iss | thx | 12:50 |
| punktalk | there | 12:50 |
| a_ | what about xconfig... will it run the correct drivers of the net? | 12:50 |
| Mechdave | a_, you have got the linux install? | 12:50 |
| === CSA340 is now known as fogobogo | ||
| a_ | i have ubuntu | 12:50 |
| vpereira | would be cool if ubuntu could support wireless usb sticks.. | 12:50 |
| Tyrath | Mechdave: is lvpm supposed to take a while to download? | 12:51 |
| vpereira | i'm checking the internet a lot of peole have the same problems | 12:51 |
| inSanity_ | hi ppl, I'm new to freenx | 12:51 |
| Mechdave | a_, you have got the ubuntu install? | 12:51 |
| jrib | vpereira: would be cool if hardware manufacturers... | 12:51 |
| a_ | its an older one but its updated | 12:51 |
| rdw200169_ | jrib: agree. | 12:51 |
| Mechdave | Tyrath, dunno, never tried to do anything with it | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: yep, ubuntu will do that if you selected biurn for Linux only afaik | 12:51 |
| inSanity_ | Can anyone help me with freenx? I can setup a connection but then the window disappears | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: i'd make the group then add your user to it | 12:51 |
| savvas | punktalk: ok now save your work, log out, wait until it shows the login screen, press CTRL+ALT+Backspace and login, then come back to fix the resolution | 12:51 |
| divine_ | ActionParsnip, well this is an official dvd for World of Warcraft. i should convince ubuntu to mount it as my normal user with proper permissions, probably in /etc/fstab as parsed option | 12:52 |
| a_ | is there an app whee i can browse and select a .run to run? | 12:52 |
| lianimator | where do I copy a ttf font file to install? | 12:52 |
| Pici | !fonts | lianimator this should help | 12:52 |
| ubottu | lianimator this should help: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 12:52 |
| punktalk | savvas: dude, youre a god. thank you so much. | 12:52 |
| jrib | a_: why aren't you just using the intended method for installing nvidia drivers I told you about? It's a gui | 12:52 |
| |Chrizz| | Why cant 2 diffrent programs send sounds over my soundcard? (Using ALSA) | 12:52 |
| mercutio22 | mbm its gonna take a while to finnish I have to go to work, I will finish later. If you are here, I will tell you how it went | 12:52 |
| divine_ | ActionParsnip, only user gets permissions, not even the group (zero permisions on the files). ill search a bit tho. seems this is a common problem for ubuntu. | 12:52 |
| punktalk | savvas: lol save my work | 12:53 |
| inSanity_ | |Chrizz| that's because they both use ALSA and that's one of the features it has | 12:53 |
| mercutio22 | mbm thanks a lot for your effort. I appreciate it. be back later | 12:53 |
| Ongavezirr | Ongavezir the Holyness come back again | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: you could copy to your HDD then chown / chmod | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | divine_: then rm when its installed | 12:53 |
| savvas | lianimator: in ~/.fonts/ folder and then execute: fc-cache -f ~/.fonts/ | 12:53 |
| inSanity_ | Anyone familiair with freeNX ? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !freenx | 12:54 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 12:54 |
| inSanity_ | ActionParsnip: I followed the instruction | 12:54 |
| Mu5 | Anyone play world of warcraft, can not install WotLK ... any help? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | inSanity_: i dont use it, i use ssh | 12:54 |
| inSanity_ | but it gets stuck when itś setting up a connection to 127.0.1.1:5000 | 12:55 |
| Ongavezirr | Where is the muttafucka holy shit fat linuks-penguin now? | 12:55 |
| a_ | hey i bet someone could write a tutorial how to use .run files | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | a_: theres tonnes | 12:55 |
| jrib | a_: did you see what I told you? | 12:55 |
| iss_ | why my keyboard cant use backspace and direction key . | 12:55 |
| divine_ | ActionParsnip, yeah doing that now. just hoped it worked like it should ;( | 12:55 |
| Mechdave | a_, what is the url of the file you have got? | 12:55 |
| bazhang | a_, for that there is no need | 12:55 |
| a_ | jrib: it said "cant open file" | 12:55 |
| Mechdave | Pici, thanks | 12:55 |
| a_ | its the nvidia drivers for graphics | 12:55 |
| inSanity_ | ActionParsnip: yeah I use that on my servers too, but this is desktopping ;) | 12:55 |
| a_ | i will find it | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | a_: whats the name of the file? | 12:56 |
| jrib | a_: no it didn't. You aren't using System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 12:56 |
| iss_ | and when i use keypad ubuntu will logout | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | inSanity_: then ive no idea | 12:56 |
| ne2k__ | inSanity_: polish keymap? | 12:57 |
| a_ | i will look at hardware drivers so but i still need to use .run files after that | 12:57 |
| jrib | a_: no. You don't need the .run at all. And you probably will never need it. Use repositories to install software by using System -> Administration -> Synaptic | 12:57 |
| davidw | so, I'm at my wits' end.... | 12:58 |
| a_ | i have only system>admin>restricted drivers and it says i dont use any | 12:58 |
| Mechdave | a_, I am with jrib | 12:58 |
| a_ | i WILL need .run files | 12:58 |
| jrib | a_: what version of ubuntu? | 12:58 |
| davidw | do you guys have any ideas for workarounds for the messed up wireless in Intrepid? | 12:58 |
| bazhang | a_what card | 12:58 |
| savvas | a_: which graphics card? | 12:58 |
| C0p3rn1c | how do you fix the overlay problem with tvtime? | 12:58 |
| a_ | i have some for games such as sauerbraten they are not in the package manager | 12:58 |

| lianimator | savvas: I can't find a ~/fonts/ folder. I found /usr/share/fonts/ though. | 12:59 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:59 |
| a_ | xD | 13:00 |
| savvas | lianimator: I said .fonts, dot fonts :) | 13:00 |
| jrib | a_: it depends on other packages | 13:00 |
| a_ | what does? | 13:00 |
| jrib | a_: sauerbraten | 13:00 |
| lianimator | savvas: there is only ~/.fontsconfig/ | 13:00 |
| a_ | yes it does but it installs off a .run (and so does lots of stuff) | 13:00 |
| lianimator | savvas: would it be the same if I created a ~/.fonts/ folder? | 13:00 |
| savvas | lianimator: mkdir -p ~/.fonts/ | 13:00 |
| savvas | lianimator: yep :) | 13:00 |
| a_ | (such as my nvidia drivers) | 13:01 |
| jrib | a_: you can do whatever you want, but you're just making your life harder and compromising the security of your system by installing things through run files | 13:01 |
| metrick | I just got a pioneer dvr-103va DVD/RW but whenever i try putting it into my comp it tells m its an unknown device, all i have is ubuntu, no windows. Is there a way i can put this driver on and install it on ubuntu? | 13:01 |
| metrick | sorry for the confusing question | 13:01 |
| savvas | a_: execute this (Applications > Accessories > Terminal): sudo apt-get install envyng-core; sudo envy-ng | 13:01 |
| savvas | a_: follow the instructions | 13:01 |
| lianimator | savvas: thanks. that worked. | 13:02 |
| savvas | lianimator: note that ~/.fonts makes it accessible only for your user account :) | 13:02 |
| a_ | jrib: if it says .run what can i do? its not on the package manager | 13:02 |
| lianimator | savvas: yup, figured. I'm the only user ;) | 13:02 |
| a_ | here is the address of the drivers someone was looking for : http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.80/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.80-pkg1.run | 13:02 |
| fogobogo | o rly? | 13:03 |
| savvas | a_: use envyng: sudo envyng -t | 13:03 |
| jrib | a_: sauerbraten and nvidia drivers are both in the package manager. You never answered my question about your version of ubuntu | 13:03 |
| serengeti | hi, is it possible to update & add packages to a system installed using usb-creator? | 13:03 |
| bazhang | a_ that is not needed | 13:03 |
| inSanity_ | ne2k__: no sorry, just plain us international | 13:03 |
| a_ | jrib: sauerbraten wasnt last night and nvidia has no clue which one is the driver.... | 13:03 |
| jrib | a_: and again you fail to answer my question.... | 13:04 |
| a_ | jrib: i also need them for my mother board how do i figure out what to install? | 13:04 |
| EF_Codd | Is $69.99 a good deal for a fully loaded Gutsy Gibbon Ubuntu? It's second hand | 13:04 |
| a_ | what questioon? | 13:04 |
| EF_Codd | On 2 CDs | 13:04 |
| jrib | a_: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 13:04 |
| ditch64 | hey im in supergrub on my desktop, is there anyway i can freakin skip grub so i can install LILO? | 13:04 |
| a_ | oh version? its almost 2 years old but updated online | 13:04 |
| jrib | EF_Codd: you are just by CDs? | 13:04 |
| jrib | !version | a_ | 13:04 |

| JonathanEllis | Any opinions on what is a good size for a winxp partition that I wont use much. It will only have a small number of applications and no documents, pictures, sounds or anything like that? | 13:05 |
| jrib | EF_Codd: you are just buying CDs? | 13:05 |
| EF_Codd | jrib well, the guy is going to install it for me, so I don't actually get the CDs. But he said it's 2 CDs worth of stuff | 13:05 |
| a_ | what is a shell and savvas... wehere do i enter that command? | 13:05 |
| EF_Codd | He said I could make a full image or something later with dd | 13:05 |
| a_ | pure noob here | 13:05 |
| JonathanEllis | I dont want to give it too much space | 13:05 |
| jrib | EF_Codd: all the software is free in ubuntu | 13:05 |
| EF_Codd | jrib not for fully loaded, he said | 13:05 |
| EF_Codd | jrib said it had grub and everything | 13:06 |
| jrib | EF_Codd: you should ask for details. grub is free. | 13:06 |
| savvas | a_: I gave you a command earlier, which you haven't read, menu Applications > Accessories > Terminal | 13:06 |
| JonathanEllis | Or more to the point. What is a good amount of free space on a winxp partition? | 13:06 |
| a_ | this ubuntu is feisty rib 7.04 | 13:06 |

| savvas | a_: ah, then never mind :) | 13:06 |
| a_ | say again what to type but exactly what to type | 13:06 |
| savvas | a_: feisty is outdated, upgrade to at least gutsy or hardy | 13:06 |
| savvas | punktalk: yep | 13:06 |
| jrib | a_: feisty is EOL and no longer supported. You need to upgrade | 13:06 |

| EF_Codd | i mean only if I do it today | 13:07 |
| jrib | EF_Codd: feisty is EOL, it's no longer supported | 13:07 |
| a_ | right io am looking at upgrading stuff thanks | 13:07 |
| EF_Codd | jrib :( I can't really afford more than $70 | 13:07 |
| whyameye | is there any way that I can set the input volume of my sound card so it "sticks" between reboots i.e. I set a volume and when I reboot that volume setting is retained from the last session? | 13:07 |

| ActionParsnip | Ruge: read the first thing you see when the cd initially loads | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Ruge: you could also read this | 13:14 |
| whyameye | Ruge: I think there is an option to boot in VGA mode or safe graphics or something like that. Have you tried that? | 13:14 |
| vinny | the year is almost 2009 | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | ruge | 13:14 |
| ubottu | ruge: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 13:14 |

| Stargazer | Hey guys, why are the hardy updates so slow ? | 13:16 |
| vinny | Stargazer, what do you mean? | 13:17 |
| punktalk | jesus christ | 13:17 |
| vinny | HEY | 13:17 |
| [mbm] | OxDeadC0de: after the kernels switched voer to the new libata code everything switched to scci sd* devices anyway | 13:17 |
| vinny | don't misuse the name of the Lord punktalk!! | 13:17 |
| savvas | punktalk: ok wait | 13:17 |
| Mechdave | Ruge, no worries | 13:17 |
| OxDeadC0de | [mbm] so if I want to load the kernel module for an ide cd/rw what module do I load? | 13:17 |
| deadtommy | ver irc.easynews.com | 13:17 |
| OxDeadC0de | ide-sd? | 13:18 |
| vinny | so many people logging on and off there's no trackable conversation possible here | 13:18 |
| Tyrath | is wubi wubildr.exe ? | 13:18 |
| Stargazer | Vinny, i can download someting from say rapidshare at my full 60kB/s. but when something downloads and gets updated in hardy it goes at about 12kB/s. | 13:18 |
| vinny | maybe hardy is just so knew everybody wants stuff from it | 13:18 |
| vinny | of course, I'm just a peabrain | 13:18 |
| punktalk | k | 13:18 |
| [mbm] | OxDeadC0de: load the module? let hal take care of that at startup, no need to manually load modules | 13:18 |
| Stargazer | Vinny, hardy is 8.04. the new one is intrepid which 8.10. | 13:19 |
| OxDeadC0de | [mbm] well hal isn't working for this guy then, it's not loading his cd/rw | 13:19 |
| vinny | intrepid is really cool I can tell you from here | 13:19 |
| BulBulRed | [14:18] <vinny> so many people logging on and off there's no trackable conversation possible here | 13:19 |
| BulBulRed | i just disabled messages like join, part, quit, topic changes, ... | 13:19 |
| BulBulRed | i just see people typing, that's all | 13:20 |
| BulBulRed | maybe you could try that :) | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | OxDeadC0de: its loaded by default | 13:20 |
| bazhang | vinny, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:20 |
| punktalk | savvas? | 13:20 |
| OxDeadC0de | He says his cd/rw was working fine in 2.6.24, but now in 2.6.27 it doesn't | 13:20 |
| waylandbill | I upgraded to intrepid recently and my IDE cd writer is missing. I thought maybe ide-scsi didn't load and maybe I could modprobe it, but the module isn't even there. What can I do to load the ide cd drive? | 13:20 |
| OxDeadC0de | that's him right there | 13:20 |
| waylandbill | that's me. :-) | 13:20 |

| Ruge | hmmm | 13:23 |
| Ruge | no errors found | 13:23 |
| savvas | punktalk: what happened exactly? | 13:23 |
| waylandbill | I jumped in the channel just as someone was saying that it is loaded by default, which I assume means ide-scsi, but there's no ide-scsi.ko to load in my filesystem. | 13:24 |
| OxDeadC0de | they said ide-scsi was depricated and replaced so it was removed (I think that's what they said at least) | 13:24 |
| punktalk | with twhat? | 13:25 |
| punktalk | savvas: when? | 13:25 |

| bdheeman | anyone out there help me make my wireless connection up plz? | 13:26 |
| JonathanEllis | Im just creating a small 100MB dedicated boot partition. I have ubuntu and winxp dual booting on this machine. I intend to put GRUB on the boot partition. At least I guess thats where it should go. I assume its best to make the boot partition ext3 NOT NTFS. Or would ext2 be better? | 13:26 |
| punktalk | ahh. when i log back in, it gives me a messed up screen where its mega off-center but loops back on the other side. it says 'ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, something something driver" | 13:26 |
| Guest86393 | Alguém Brasil: | 13:26 |
| Guest86393 | Alguém do Brasil? | 13:26 |

| jayson_r | JonathanEllis: you can use ext2 for /boot - it doesn't need journaling | 13:27 |
| Guest86393 | #ubuntu-br | 13:27 |
| djmrsmith | anybody know? | 13:27 |
| fosco_ | Guest82961: type /join #ubuntu-br in your IRC program | 13:27 |

| emorris | Ruge: did you try that restart command? | 13:57 |

| Ruge | hmmm | 13:58 |
| punktalk | savvas: youre a god. hope this works. | 13:58 |
| savvas | punktalk: if it's not in center, try change it from your monitor (there should be some buttons on your monitor to correct the width and height of the display | 13:58 |
| Kartagis | hello? do i need wpa_supplicant to be able to load wireless certificate into ubuntu? | 13:58 |

| adam7 | Nirodh: is it an LCD? | 13:58 |
| savvas | punktalk: ok, go :) | 13:58 |
| punktalk | =) thanks man | 13:58 |
| Nirodh | adam7: Yes it is | 13:58 |
| joaopinto | kamil, you need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 13:58 |
| savvas | n/p :) | 13:58 |
| Kartagis | punktalk, did you tell me or someone else? | 13:59 |
| bia | ciao | 13:59 |
| kamil | :joaopinto : I know but how exactly ?? | 13:59 |
| punktalk | ? | 13:59 |
| Ruge | emorris: looks like my GNOME Display Manager is failing | 13:59 |
| joaopinto | kamil, and add "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" | 13:59 |
| bazhang | Ruge, you should try at least gutsy on that | 13:59 |
| punktalk | someone else. thanks for everything savvas | 13:59 |
| Kartagis | <Kartagis> hello? do i need wpa_supplicant to be able to load wireless certificate into ubuntu? | 13:59 |
| Kartagis | <punktalk> indeed | 13:59 |
| adam7 | Nirodh: I suspect most LCDs only support up to 60Hz | 13:59 |
| Ruge | hmm | 13:59 |
| emorris | Ruge: what does it do/say? | 13:59 |
| kamil | joaopinto: no deleting no installing any files or smt like that? | 13:59 |
| bia | hello | 13:59 |
| joaopinto | kamil, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 13:59 |
| adam7 | Nirodh: why would you need more than that? they don't flicker like the CRTs do | 13:59 |
| craigbass1976 | couple of quickies... I need to make an instructional video. Which app should I be gunning for? I want to be able to speed up the video a bit (like charlie chaplin movies) and insert subtitles. I also need at least a stereo audio track for background music | 14:00 |
| joaopinto | kamil, it's about editing a text file and adding a line with the option | 14:00 |
| Ruge | emorris: i typed your command, "* Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [ OK ]" then "* Starting GNOME Display Manager... [FAIL]" | 14:00 |
| kamil | joaopinto: if that's a;; that would be great | 14:00 |
| craigbass1976 | The next question... I post code on rafb.net. Were would someone post a picture in the same manner? | 14:00 |
| Nirodh | adam7: This is flickering like wild when I watch anything fast-paced or scroll quickly | 14:00 |
| adam7 | Nirodh: ah, that's probably because you have the desktop effects turned on | 14:01 |
| adam7 | Nirodh: can you disable compiz-fusion? | 14:01 |
| dli | I followed pulseaudio howto, but no default sink found within pulseaudio manager, paman | 14:01 |
| osubuck | system> preferences> appearance, use no effects | 14:01 |
| Nirodh | adam7: Yes I've just disabled it, I'll try putting on a video and seeing what happens | 14:02 |
| osubuck | think that's what you're looking for | 14:02 |

| ubottu | slinx: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:02 |
| slinx | im using kubuntu now when i try to install ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 it goes to busybox and wont install? | 14:03 |
| Ruge | emorris: any ideas? | 14:03 |
| bazhang | slinx, why not upgrade via the net | 14:03 |
| pawan | whats up | 14:03 |
| adam7 | !offtopic | 14:03 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:03 |
| slinx | how do i upgrade to ubuntu 7.10? | 14:03 |
| Nirodh | adam7: Yes! It worked perfectly, thank you very much | 14:03 |
| bazhang | slinx, what version are you on | 14:03 |
| slinx | kubuntu 8.04 | 14:04 |
| kamil | joaopinto: bye & thanks | 14:04 |
| bazhang | slinx, you mean 8.10? | 14:04 |
| slinx | yes my mistake | 14:04 |
| adam7 | Nirodh: no problem :) it's too bad that the compiz doesn't play nice with videos. Everyone has that problem, I think | 14:04 |
| scientes | how do i grep a bunch of files? | 14:04 |
| Ruge | gahh damn ubuntu! if only i understood you! | 14:05 |
| bazhang | slinx, did you check the package manager? | 14:05 |
| emorris | Ruge: hmm, that's a pain. i know in intrepid, you can remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and it will sort it out for you, but I think in your case you would have to edit that file by hand, which can be a bit of a pain. I'm not sure I can help you much more, but maybe someone else can. 7.04 is a very old release and not supported any more. As bazhang you really need gutsy or newer, but if you're going to download anything you may as well get intrep | 14:05 |
| emorris | id. | 14:05 |
| FloridaGuy | anyone here | 14:05 |

| Ruge | emorris: no dramas mate, ill get the latest copy off a mate and give it a go | 14:05 |
| emorris | Ruge: in intrepid it's much more likely to 'just work' | 14:05 |
| Nirodh | RizR: How'd you manage that? | 14:05 |
| adam7 | RizR: what video card do you have? I know my ATI card hates videos | 14:06 |
| bazhang | Ruge, you may want to try the livecd first | 14:06 |
| Ruge | scientes: heh its good, today's the first time ive ever touched something related to linux | 14:06 |

| Ruge | bazhang: livecd.... ive got and old LiveCD on me heh | 14:06 |
| adam7 | RizR: really? maybe you have to change the video display mode in the video player to get that to work? | 14:07 |
| Pretto | how to list services started on boot? | 14:07 |
| Ruge | btw how do i exit the terminal? | 14:07 |
| adam7 | Ruge: type exit | 14:07 |
| RizR | adam7: nop. nada. It was a problem in emmmm 7.10. but since 8.04 its all well. | 14:07 |
| Ruge | damn old copy, goes back to terminal again | 14:07 |
| adam7 | RizR: hm, you're just lucky then ;) | 14:07 |
| Ruge | maybe its time to ditch the 7.04 lol | 14:08 |

| craigbass1976 | Pretto, do a ps -ef and that will tell you everything that's running. If you hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 frmo the login screen (once you log in, there's more stuff running) you'll see. Do a ps -ef > ~/running-processes.txt if you want to peruse it later. Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you back to the login screen | 14:12 |

| bazhang | np :) | 14:17 |
| RizR | adam7: just checking the version of fglrx on my box. your card doesnt seem to be in the list of officially supported card. | 14:18 |
| RizR | adam7: dono much about it but seems strange. | 14:18 |
| savvas | scientes: if that doesn't do it, try removing the gedit configuration files: find $HOME -name "*gedit*" | 14:18 |
| scientes | it owkred thx | 14:18 |
| jimcooncat | jangli -- don't know, but maybe mysql takes a while to start and bacula's too fast | 14:18 |

| jimcooncat | jangli, if you find the upstart piece that starts bacula, you could put a sleep command in there. Or you could use monit to start bacula up instead, and have monit check for a connection to mysql | 14:21 |

| jangli | jimcooncat: I'm just testing with a sleep in /etc/init.d/bacula-director .... but you're right, I would also prefer monit... so sleep to make it work quickly while learning to configure monit ;-) | 14:29 |
| JonathanEllis | So if I am dual booting with winxp. Is there an advantage in having a separate partition for /boot. I gather if I put another linux distro on then they shouldnt share /boot if that contains the kernel. So I guess a separate partition for GRUB which I make bootable would be the best bet and leave /boot on my / partition | 14:29 |
| jimcooncat | jangli: sure, I would think five second would be plenty, but you may have to play with it | 14:29 |
| JonathanEllis | Wish I could put the right punctuation in when I ask a question! | 14:29 |
| Ruge | anyone have any idea why GNOME cant acccess Daemon? | 14:30 |
| mibbot | i'm running a minimal, but have no sound. Have installed: alsa-base alsa-utils linux-sound-base | 14:30 |
| mibbot | any ideas? | 14:30 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks, I'll try that, but I have to say, none of the buttons in the partition menu is working, I can only click one 'cancel' or 'back' | 14:30 |
| jangli | jimcooncat : testing with 50 at first, just to make sure ;-) | 14:30 |
| Nirodh | mibbot: Run alsa-mixer and make sure everything is unmuted | 14:30 |
| Nirodh | mibbot: m to unmute | 14:31 |
| Ruge | actually ill try tmrw | 14:31 |
| Ruge | thanks for your help all | 14:31 |
| mibbot | Nirodh: alsamixer gives me: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 14:31 |
| emorris | in my grub boot menu, it has Debian blah blah kernel instead of Ubuntu, is there any way to change it back? Obviously i could just change it in menu.lst, but it would put it back after each kernel upgrade | 14:32 |
| Nirodh | mibbot: Whoops sorry, I meant alsamixer not alsa-mixer | 14:32 |
| adam7 | mibbot: try sudo alsamixer | 14:33 |
| adam7 | mibbot: if that works, you probably need to add yourself to the audio group | 14:33 |
| chazco | Hi... just to confirm - is it safe to move a laptop which is in Ubuntu suspend mode? | 14:33 |
| mibbot | adam7: thanks, yes, sudo alsamixer works | 14:33 |
| jimcooncat | anyone know how to deal with changing ssh host keys simply? I'm testing remote installations and the SOMETHING NASTY warning keeps stalling me until I remove the bad key. | 14:33 |
| adam7 | chazco: move? like pick up and take somewhere else? should be... | 14:33 |
| slinx | it installed everything then said unable to install some archives? | 14:34 |
| chazco | adam7 - Put into into a case and take it somewhere else... i imagine the HDD is switched off? | 14:34 |
| Pretto | anyone know if wubi replaces the bootloader? | 14:34 |
| slinx | unable to fetch* | 14:34 |
| vikkio | someone know how to put the network manager in the up panel?? | 14:34 |
| adam7 | chazco: put your ear next to it -- if you don't hear anything, it's off. But in general, suspend should shut down the HDD | 14:34 |
| jimcooncat | instead of dumping me out to edit known_hosts manually, I want to just say Yes to change the key | 14:35 |
| vikkio | someone know how to put the network manager in the up panel?? | 14:35 |
| chazco | heh, the low-tech solution :) Thanks | 14:35 |
| Sact | vikkio: Right click the panel > add to panel | 14:35 |
| vikkio | is not there | 14:35 |
| adam7 | chazco: that's how I always check :D | 14:35 |
| nootrope | any idea when the ubuntu repository will update django to 1.0? | 14:35 |
| mibbot | adam7: any ideas how to add to group from command line | 14:35 |
| unclemike | i had truble with metacity dying..now i got it working ..but themes arent working right? | 14:35 |
| vikkio | Sact: is not there the applet network manager | 14:35 |
| Sact | vikkio: Do you not mean network monitor? That should be there | 14:36 |
| vikkio | sact: yes...but isnt the same | 14:36 |
| adam7 | mibbot: sudo vim /etc/group (probably not recommended) or use usermod | 14:36 |
| mmo| | Is the BBC content in totem ONLY audio? Or are there any videos? | 14:36 |
| Gnea | mibbot: sudo vigr | 14:37 |
| mmo| | I only get audio when I try any of it | 14:37 |
| vikkio | Sact: do you have msn?? i send you two screenshoot | 14:37 |
| Sact | vikkio: You could upload them to www.petaimg.com | 14:37 |
| vikkio | Sact: can we talk in pvt i hate this chat | 14:37 |
| Sact | vikkio: Sure | 14:38 |
| JonathanEllis | Sorry to ask the question again. I had to go away so couldnt see if there had been a response. If I am dual booting with winxp, is there any advantage in having a separate partition for /boot? I gather if I put another linux distro on then they shouldnt share /boot if that contains the kernel. So I guess a separate partition for GRUB which I make bootable would be the best bet and leave /boot on the same partition as /? Or would it be better to cr | 14:38 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: /boot is where the grub configuration file lives, and where the init images (not the right word) live | 14:38 |
| unclemike | hello ! anyone out there...been trying to fix same problem sence last night | 14:39 |
| JonathanEllis | adam7: Yes I saw that answer, thanks. Hence my next question | 14:39 |
| James_UK | looking for a grub guru to help me boot windows xp from grub please... XP installed on SATA, Grub and Ubuntu on IDE2 Slave | 14:39 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: oops, sorry, I can't read :) | 14:39 |
| serengeti | nootrope, django's already at 1.0 in intrepid | 14:39 |
| vikkio | Sact: answer me in pvt | 14:39 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: one advantage is that /boot/grub/menu.lst will be shared among all distros | 14:40 |
| slacker_nl | does anyone know if it is possible to restrict a user so he can only access the pc via the console and not via ssh? | 14:40 |
| orly_owl | Is there a GIMPShop package for hardy somewhere? | 14:41 |
| slacker_nl | if so, how would one do this? | 14:41 |
| JonathanEllis | adam7: Thanks. But wouldnt it be a bad thing for the kernels to be shared? | 14:41 |
| Gnea | slacker_nl: turn off or remove ssh-server | 14:41 |
| slacker_nl | Gnea: haha, not an option | 14:41 |
| unclemike | !metacity | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity | 14:41 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: I *think* (I'm by no means an expert) that each distro has a different kernel naming scheme | 14:41 |
| orly_owl | !GIMPShop | 14:42 |
| ubottu | gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop. A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294 | 14:42 |
| adam7 | slacker_nl: poke around in /etc/ssh | 14:42 |
| slacker_nl | adam7: k | 14:42 |

| abortd | it looks like gdesklets is bulky anyone have any thoughts on performance after installed or? | 14:44 |
| nootrope | serengeti, thanks! | 14:44 |
| kri | hi i have some dependency problems when trying to install transmission (i need libgtk2.0-0 and that needs libcups2 but i have libcupsys2). If i sudp apt-get remove libcupsys2 many programs dpending on that will be broken, what would i do? | 14:44 |
| James_UK | Gnea i've been there and its still not any help to me :/ Grub doesnt seem to be able to boot XP | 14:44 |
| slowz | Vicky95, There is no "subseven" for linux period | 14:44 |
| unclemike | Yimpolo, last night metacity died got that fixed....now my themes work mhalf A** panel wont theme and menu's wont theme | 14:45 |
| Jethro1 | good morning folks, anyone around to help a newb? | 14:45 |
| abortd | OMG where do i get sub7 for linux?! | 14:45 |
| slacker_nl | adam7: thnx, sshd_config DenyUsers directive | 14:45 |
| abortd | how about netbus or BO!\ | 14:45 |
| nootrope | what's the least traumatic way to upgrade from Heron to Intrepid? | 14:46 |
| bombshelter13 | Hey, does anyone know what I have to do to completely remove GFVS from my Ubuntu system without destroying Nautilus? | 14:46 |
| abortd | Jethro1: ask your question | 14:46 |
| Vicky95 | where download a subseven for ubuntu hardy plz, i need | 14:46 |
| bazhang | Vicky95, what is subseven | 14:46 |
| Jethro1 | i have an ATI radeon 7000 with support for multiple monitors, how can i get the second monitor working? | 14:46 |
| bombshelter13 | Nautilus appears to depend on GVFS, which doesn't seem to make sense... I'm willing to compile things myself, I just neeed to know what. | 14:46 |
| prince_j1mmys | Vicky95: this is the ubuntu help channel. you don't need "subseven" | 14:46 |
| James_UK | Subseven is a script kiddy hacking tool | 14:46 |
| abortd | bazhang: lol a windows script kiddy tool | 14:47 |
| Gnea | James_UK: well that doesn't tell me anything. what *have* you tried so far, exactly? | 14:47 |
| prince_j1mmys | Vicky95: so go away. | 14:47 |
| bazhang | Vicky95, not here | 14:47 |
| tarelerulz | I have been using Abobe flash player alot . every cool chat room program and anything cool on the net use it ,but it ways runs up my cpu or crash or something not good. Is there any tutorial how to to get it working right. | 14:47 |
| bazhang | abortd, thanks | 14:47 |
| Vicky95 | ok | 14:47 |
| Thomsen | Having sound problems here, wine and the testsound in the sound panel are very crappy/noisy, also the sounds cut after 1/2 secs | 14:47 |
| Thomsen | other sounds work fine :/ | 14:47 |
| JonathanEllis | Adam7: OK. That would make sense. In that case I guess I should make a boot partition. Although http://preview.tinyurl.com/6a8rvy says "A Separate /boot partition is not very good for people who want to boot more than one Linux operating system because iit is tricky to get more than one Linux to share the same Separate /boot partition peacefully. For that, you need a 'Dedicated GRUB Partition', which contains only GRUB files and | 14:47 |
| Thomsen | alsa/oss/pulse, it doesn't matter, it stays bad | 14:47 |

| lianimator | compile musictracker for pidgin says xmms2 is required to build xmms2 support. can I build without xmms2 support? also it says PCRE library is required. How do I install that? | 14:48 |
| Jethro1 | did see my question? | 14:48 |
| Carkus | does anyone know of an easy way to completely reinstall all the sound modules, etc? i think ive broken alsa, and now i cant get it working again.. | 14:48 |
| James_UK | i have XP installed on SATA, ubuntu and grub installed on IDE2Slave.... no matter what (hd1,0) etc i try windows will not boot from grub | 14:48 |
| FrancisN | I know this isn't strictly an Ubuntu problem, but does anyone know how to use, say, dd to repair a USB flash drive? I managed to mess it up so badly it can't read the partition table anymore | 14:49 |
| unclemike | that nice the one person that goes to help.....after 12 hrs..quits | 14:49 |
| === abortd is now known as AbortD | ||
| Gnea | FrancisN: you might get some good results with sfdisk | 14:49 |
| slowz | lianimator, Ive never complied pidgin but you can have a look at ./configure --help and see if there is a flag to disable xmms2 support | 14:49 |
| Jethro1 | i have an ATI radeon 7000 and with windows i had multiple monitors but after the switch i cant get ny secondary monitor to work, anyone know how to get multi monitor support with ubuntu?? | 14:50 |
| yyyyyy | okay, does anyone has problem using compiz + google earth in ubuntu 8.10??? | 14:50 |
| Gnea | unclemike: so what's your problem? | 14:50 |
| bombshelter13 | Anyone know where I can get a packaged NON-GFVS enabled version of Nautilus for Ubuntu Hardy? | 14:50 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: What exactly would I do? I just want to erase everything on the drive, hopefully make it usable again | 14:50 |
| yyyyyy | everytime when my compiz is on, google earth program seems to be flickering... | 14:51 |
| FrancisN | I'm looking through the man page, but it doesn't seemt o have what I need | 14:51 |
| unclemike | Gnea, metacity died last night got it fixed..now my themes wont theme the panel and menu | 14:51 |
| Gnea | unclemike: just the themes aren't showing up? did you do a distro upgrade? what changed? | 14:51 |
| Gnea | unclemike: i mean, what changed prior to metacity croaking? | 14:51 |
| rbd__ | hey guys, what happened to libxml-dev in 8.10? | 14:51 |
| unclemike | Gnea, nothing | 14:51 |
| RizR | !dualhead |Jethro1 | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Jethro1: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 14:52 |
| jangli | jimcooncat: even 50s sleep didn't work... very strange. maybe a permissions problem? when /etc/rc2.d/S92bacula-dir is started at boot, what user is it running? when i start it manually, I user "sudo /etc/rc2.d/S92bacula-dir start", so root user | 14:52 |
| rbd__ | and is there a page that shows the new and depreaciated packages from 8.04->8.10? | 14:52 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: oh, you can dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/device_name_of_your_usb | 14:52 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: make sure to sudo that | 14:52 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: I think I've found my problem. sfdisk just crashes whenever I try to do something, saying that my partitions extend past the physical end of the drive | 14:52 |
| Jethro1 | thanks so much bot | 14:52 |
| Gnea | unclemike: well, not 'nothing' ever causes something like that to happen - something happened and it probably happened behind the scenes | 14:53 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: Maybe that would work better for what you want | 14:53 |
| unclemike | Gnea, i upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 | 14:53 |
| hellboy3 | does any one know how to use gtkpod to put videos on my ipod | 14:53 |
| Gnea | unclemike: under what timeframe? | 14:53 |
| syock | I want to use a virtual desktop on a Linux OS without admin rights. What are the possible options? I saw on Wikipedia that you don't need root to use QEMU. | 14:53 |
| Jethro1 | !xinerama | 14:53 |
| ubottu | xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 14:53 |
| unclemike | Gnea, all sence yesterday..sence 8.04 and 8.10 cd's wouldent install | 14:54 |
| Gnea | !sudo | syock | 14:54 |
| ubottu | syock: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 14:54 |
| jimcooncat | jangli: like I said, I'm not familiar with your software. Most daemons start as root and drop priviledges. Bacula maybe not? ps probably has a flag to find out which user it's running as. | 14:54 |
| JonathanEllis | !DualHead | 14:54 |
| syock | Gnea: I don't have admin rights. I can't sudo | 14:54 |
| Gnea | unclemike: i see. have you tried making a new user account for the 8.10? does metacity croak there too? | 14:54 |
| jangli | jimcooncat: flag? | 14:54 |
| Whitor | Hi. I'm having a weird problem. After installing Intrepid I can only connect to one wireless access point. (coincidentally or not, its the one I was connected to while upgrading) I have Xirrus Wi-Fi monitor installes ... and I can 'see' other networks ... my computer just won't connect to them. My settings are identicle (except for ssid and wep key) so I am fairly certain its not a settings issue. any ideas ? | 14:54 |
| JonathanEllis | Adam7: Sorry to repeat part of the question, but: My /boot directory is 105MB so would a 200MB partition for /boot allow enough room for expansion? How big should the GRUB partition be? | 14:55 |
| Whitor | installed* | 14:55 |
| unclemike | Gnea, 8.10 was when metacity died | 14:55 |
| jimcooncat | jangli: flag == command line option. I meant anyway | 14:55 |
| Gnea | unclemike: i understand. try making a new account, login with it, and see if metacity is still being a punk | 14:55 |
| Xeph | Hi there, i'm trying to backup some DVDs i filmed at vacation, using k9copy. Ripping and shrinking works fine, but there's no *.iso after all. Does anyone have an idea how to solve that? | 14:56 |
| AbortD | does intrepid use a different partitioning tool than gparted or do you just have to apt-get it | 14:56 |
| AbortD | well i know you have to apt-get it | 14:56 |
| bazhang | unclemike, what theme | 14:57 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: New problem, I can't do anything with the drive, sfdisk crashes saying unrecognized partition table | 14:57 |
| syock | Do you need to be root to use QEMU in the first place? | 14:57 |
| FrancisN | How would I make a new partition table? | 14:57 |
| Gnea | bazhang: i'm guessing that his local info from the older version is interferring with the newer version - he did hop 4 distro versions in 1 day | 14:57 |
| RizR | JonathanEllis: 105??? that's the biggest I've heard it to be :-) In my opinion 200M should be fine. others? | 14:58 |
| jimcooncat | jangli: "sudo ps -Al | grep bacula" should show you the UID in the third column | 14:58 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: did you do the dd thing? | 14:58 |
| bazhang | Gnea, agreed; just wanted to see if it worked here | 14:58 |
| FrancisN | yeah, I did the dd thing, it finished | 14:58 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: now it's telling me there's no partition table whenever I try to do something with it | 14:58 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: okay, forget sfdisk then. use fdisk on it and create a partition | 14:58 |
| unclemike | bazhang, deepgreen...over glossed...blue-joy | 14:58 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: I've figured out how to make one, but what sort of table should I make? msdos, aix, etc.? | 14:59 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: right, that's what dd did too - totally zero'd out the drive | 14:59 |
| JonathanEllis | RizR: And how big should the grub partition be? I will make that the bootable partition so it will just have the MBR and the grub executable files | 14:59 |
| alexander | ~pastebin | 14:59 |
| rayb0t | anybody here play quake wars? i'm having network issues with it :( | 14:59 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: how big is it? | 14:59 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: 2gb flash | 15:00 |
| RizR | JonathanEllis: 200M is big enough. | 15:00 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: i'd stick with a fat32 format then - do you have qparted installed? | 15:00 |
| disposable | i have downloaded an intrepid iso. how do i put it on a usb drive so that it's installable from there? (my laptop does not have a cd drive, and i don't have windows) simply point me at a howto or something please. | 15:00 |
| AbortD | i swear gparted is acting stupid | 15:01 |
| FrancisN | I'm planning on using fat32, but it's not asking me for partition type, it's asking me for partition *table* type | 15:01 |
| bazhang | !usb | disposable | 15:01 |
| ubottu | disposable: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 15:01 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: nevermind, I'll just use msdos partition table type, and see what happens. | 15:01 |
| FrancisN | Thanks for the help | 15:01 |
| bazhang | disposable, also check out unetbootin | 15:01 |
| Gnea | FrancisN: ah ok - try 6 fat16 for the partition type :) | 15:01 |
| AbortD | bazhang: do you have any idea why gparted is graying out all the functions and not letting me create a partition? | 15:01 |
| FrancisN | Gnea: Well, I have to use fat32, I'm trying to make a ubuntu bootable usb | 15:02 |
| FrancisN | Thanks! | 15:02 |
| bazhang | AbortD, are you trying to edit a mounted partition? | 15:02 |
| RizR | AbortD: permissions? did you run it like sudo gparted? | 15:02 |
| joaopinto | actually, gksudo gparted | 15:02 |
| AbortD | RizR: yes | 15:02 |
| AbortD | im trying to edit and add partitions bazhang | 15:02 |
| bazhang | AbortD, you didnt answer my question though | 15:03 |
| AbortD | well no | 15:03 |
| AbortD | not first but if i dont edit the partition to allow free space would it blank out the new partition button? | 15:03 |
| jimcooncat | Why does "StrictHostKeyChecking ask" not work in /etc/ssh/ssh_config? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | AbortD, use the livecd or the gparted livecd | 15:03 |
| atarinox | Can anybody tell me...I'm trying to find some themes for Intrepid on gnome-look.org. How do I tell what category of theme would work? GTK, GDM, Compiz? I know Intrepid has Compiz installed by default, but are those the only themes I can choose from? | 15:04 |
| kamil | hi guys | 15:04 |
| JonathanEllis | /msg NickServ help commands | 15:04 |
| unclemike | unclemike, they still dont work | 15:04 |
| AbortD | bazhang: my cdrom no longer wants to open :P | 15:04 |
| adam7 | JonathanEllis: I'm not exactly sure, to be honest. I need to go though, but I'm sure someone else here knows. | 15:04 |

| rrittenhouse | Can you share an ssh key between two different machines like I can a PGP key? I'm guessing no. | 15:07 |
| ikonia | rrittenhouse sure | 15:07 |
| ikonia | RizR: I use one key to access 200+ machines | 15:07 |
| JonathanEllis | /msg NickServ help | 15:07 |
| RizR | JonathanEllis: grub is usually very small. few MB should be more than enough. you don't usually need a separate partitiion for it. just stick it in /boot | 15:07 |

| jderrick | Regarding Intrepid, NetworkManager is now supposed to start before you login to Gnome, yet my default install does not behave this way. I have to login before my static IP is setup. Is there something I need to do for it to start at the login screen other than manually edit /etc/network/interfaces ? | 15:09 |
| JonathanEllis | rizr: Thanks. Its just that http://preview.tinyurl.com/6a8rvy seems to recommend a separate partition for grub. I am a bit confused whyit says a /boot partition might not be a good idea | 15:09 |
| BulBulRed | i work with three keys | 15:09 |

| syock | Is there a virtual machine that you can run as guest user? One that you can download, unpack and run | 15:09 |

| BulBulRed | no ikonia, sorry | 15:10 |
| BulBulRed | i know: other channels for that | 15:10 |
| RizR | JonathanEllis: because /boot (without grub) is where kernel images and init files live. if you share it among different distros it'll contan kernels from all of them. | 15:12 |
| RizR | JonathanEllis: seems a big messy. | 15:12 |
| spree | Something odd is going on when I first start the computer: The GUI for the login screen is off-center on the monitor by about 2 inches. If I auto-adjust my monitor, the video centers itself. What should I do? NVidia 6100 amd64 Intrepid | 15:13 |
| JonathanEllis | rizr: So I am looking for a sensible place for grub to live because at the moment its in my winxp partition which I dont feel comfortable with. Then someone else recommended having a separate partition for /boot for resilience | 15:13 |

| akahige | got a question about samba permissions... I had a shared directory on my desktop that is no longer shared, and won't let me as a user re-share it. I had moved /var onto a different partition, and everything seems to be working, but then I discovered this... can anyone help me troubleshoot...? | 15:14 |
| spree | akahige: #samba | 15:15 |
| RizR | JonathanEllis: sorry. someone else might be able to help. | 15:15 |
| akahige | spree: thanks. I'm wondering if there aren't probs with my having copied /var. thoughts on that? | 15:15 |
| JonathanEllis | ikonia: So if I just put the MBR on the dedicated /boot partition then I am done, yes? | 15:16 |
| ikonia | JonathanEllis the mbr is the master boot record - it's on the boot sector of the disk, it's nothing to do with partitions or file systems | 15:16 |

| kronos_ | I was wondering if it was possible to share an internet connection from Ubuntu 7.10 to Windows xp via ethernet cable. the windows box is saying its hooked up to a lan but i'm not sure where to look to figure out how to do it | 16:34 |
| noiz | ikonia: i didnt dl the ubuntu 8.190 from there | 16:34 |
| noiz | 8.10* | 16:34 |
| ikonia | noiz then install from that cd | 16:34 |
| noiz | ikonia: update manager did that for me | 16:34 |
| ikonia | noiz update manager doesn't download CD | 16:35 |
| Yuji1 | kronos_: You should have an ethernet cable that is reversed in the two and set your Ubuntu up as DHCP server to it. Personally I'd say its easier going through windows for that. | 16:35 |
| noiz | ikonia: u mean i just download it and then? | 16:35 |
| ikonia | noiz: then burn the cd and boot from it | 16:35 |
| Yuji1 | Windows instructions I have are absolute. I do that all the time. | 16:35 |
| Hideme | Yuji1: Ah yes, it asla wasn't checked off. I've now checked it, do I need to manually start the service right now (I don't want to reboot)? | 16:35 |

| kri | how can i find out if my harddrive is sata300? | 16:35 |
| Rioting_pacifist | kronos_: 1st you need to make sure your using the correct cable/ have clever cards, can you ping the ubuntu box from the windows box | 16:35 |
| Yuji1 | Hideme: You can. :) | 16:35 |
| ikonia | noiz what? | 16:35 |
| noiz | ikonia:i have a 6.06 LTS ubuntu cd | 16:36 |

| kri | Yuji1: how do i grep that text that comes into a file? | 16:37 |
| Pici | noiz: The only reason you wouldn't be able to boot from a CD would be a physicaly hardware issue, and 8.10 has nothing to do with that. | 16:37 |
| Yuji1 | noiz: Listen please. Use any working computer to download Ubuntu 8.10. Burn the ISO and use that CD, the new one you just burn, to install Ubuntu. Do a completely fresh install. | 16:37 |

| ikonia | noiz very wrong | 16:38 |
| ikonia | noiz: update manager does not download a cd | 16:38 |
| Rioting_pacifist | kronos_: if your sure the computers are properly connected, then you need to use a firewall to bridge the connections and you may need to kill NetworkManager, but youll probably be able to find a howto to talk you thought the bridging | 16:38 |
| noiz | ikonia:NO IT JUST UPGRADES | 16:38 |
| dli | akahige, I don't know samba | 16:38 |
| ikonia | noiz: open a web browser - go to http://www.ubuntu.com, download the 8.10 cd, burn the cd, then boot from it | 16:38 |
| noiz | ikonia: ur not listening to me | 16:38 |
| Yuji1 | Rioting: Personally I'd prefer a hub, Windows with ICS, mhm.. | 16:38 |

| tsunami | Is there a benefit to having your file partition divided up between more than just /. like /home or /dev | 17:35 |
| spree | donkdonk check ethtool eth0 and mii-tool -v | 17:35 |
| Sh3r1ff | donkdonk: do a pastebin of route | 17:35 |

| Slart | tsunami: there are some advantages.. /home on a separate partition will save you some trouble when reinstalling.. /var could be put on a separate one since it holds lots of stuff that can get very large.. | 17:36 |

| soundray | dvyjones: what about hwilde's suggestion? | 18:27 |
| t0lkman2 | in gaim i could resize with mouse | 18:27 |
| hwilde | dvyjones, what were you changing previous to this breaking | 18:28 |
| hwilde | or did it never work | 18:28 |
| e\ectro_ | I am having an issue with Ubuntu 32/64 where on bootup, it hangs on X with a black screen and mouse cursor. If you exit out of X and try and log into the console, it just hangs and never gets to the shell prompt. If you reboot into single user mode, there is NOTHING in the logs detailing what may be the culprit. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior exhibited? | 18:28 |
| e\ectro_ | Intreipd | 18:28 |
| dvyjones | Nothing... I was going to eat dinner, and when I came back nothing works... | 18:28 |
| matthew | matteo are you running any other programs that are using sound when you try to use your browser ? | 18:28 |
| hwilde | e\ectro_, /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 18:28 |
| dvyjones | Hmm, I'll go to check some other comps on the network just in case... | 18:28 |
| e\ectro_ | hwilde: its not X, I can kill X and try and log into the console with no shell prompt. | 18:29 |
| hwilde | dvyjones, maybe you are blocked by a parental filter or firewall | 18:29 |

| e\ectro_ | /dev/sdb1 688G 545G 109G 84% /home | 18:30 |
| SOF4LNX | matteo: you could remove gnash and gnash-plugin then install flash 10 for linux but itll be less secure since its not updated as gnash is | 18:30 |
| NekroJakub | Okay, this is driving me pretty nuts. My show desktop button used to show my desktop, but now it first maximises everything, and THEN shows it. Halp needed. | 18:30 |

| hwilde | NekroJakub, run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:31 |
| SOF4LNX | matteo: so on that point its as uncool as windows (theres auto update for flash somewhere on their site) | 18:31 |
| boteeka_ | Omar87: My Bluetooth dongle is recongnized, but I still can't use it. In Intrepid the bluetooth system is somehow messed up, at least so it seems. | 18:31 |
| Slart | KomiaPoika: ah.. I don't think you can boot from a mounted iso, if that's what you're trying to do | 18:31 |
| === vincent_ is now known as Vinceman | ||

| SOF4LNX | NO | 18:32 |
| boteeka_ | Omar87: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283064 | 18:32 |
| ikonia | leohartx: if you "use" many it will | 18:32 |
| Slart | leohartx: not if you don't run them all at once | 18:32 |
| KomiaPoika | Slart: no but i can upgrade | 18:32 |
| NekroJakub | hwilde: I have no idea what should that accomplish... You know what I mean, right? | 18:32 |
| KomiaPoika | Slart: i just need to mount the iso in nfs | 18:32 |
| rhigby_ | Slart: If I hit, for example, F2, it will try to go to the ttys, then pops back to the GUI, If i hit it a seond time, it will stick, with the black screen. | 18:32 |
| Slart | leohartx: but of course.. if you install more programs there will be more files around.. updating will take longer etc etc | 18:32 |
| matteo_ | hi all, i have no sound in firefox flash videos since i upgraded to INTREPID IBEX any tips? | 18:32 |

| hwilde | NekroJakub, if it's not workin right, get all the updates | 18:33 |
| matthew | matteo sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:33 |
| SOF4LNX | leohartx: Though if those apps also requires to start at boot then itll be slower but nowhere near as slow as windows | 18:33 |
| hwilde | NekroJakub, maybe you get lucky and somebody fixed it | 18:33 |
| NekroJakub | hwilde: No, it still works that way, one click shows desktop, the other maximises all windows. | 18:34 |
| DocUSN-USMC | how can i get my webcam working in 8.10 all i get is static | 18:34 |
| Slart | rhigby_: I don't want to try it myself.. nvidia might have fixed that bug in the newer drivers but I don't want to restart if they haven't =) | 18:34 |

| entilzha | Since I cannot figure a cause, nor can do anything to figure out what happened, I don't know what else to specify. | 18:54 |
| Meshach | Does nobody know the answer to my question? | 18:54 |
| gammy | entilzha: Soooooooooo what have you tried? | 18:54 |
| gammy | entilzha: I mean what software have you tried disabling, what other reports have you found, have you run hardware tests, have you checked logs, have you done anything at all? | 18:55 |
| entilzha | gammy: I'm not that familiar with the system | 18:55 |
| entilzha | Wouldnt know which logs to check | 18:55 |
| svampen_85 | gammy: there are new realeses from graphviz but when i download the deb file and try to install it it says "error:dependency is not satisfiable libgd2-noxpm libgd2-xpm? I have alredy installed these packages... | 18:55 |
| gammy | entilzha: So basically "It's broke how do I fix it!" ? | 18:55 |
| gammy | entilzha: If you're not that familiar with the system, then the claim that it worked before intrepid is false. | 18:55 |
| === calwig_ is now known as calwig | ||
| entilzha | gammy: Well, it's kinda like that, but I was hoping others have the same thing so I could just follow a recipe to fix it. I have been using Ubuntu since Edgy. It never locked up before my upgrade recently. | 18:56 |
| rabe | hi everyone | 18:56 |
| _346L3_ | Hello :D | 18:57 |
| gammy | svampen_85: google gives a lot of interesting places to start :P | 18:57 |
| hwilde | !upgrade > hwilde | 18:57 |
| ubottu | hwilde, please see my private message | 18:57 |
| gammy | entilzha: Sure, I've had ubuntu intrepid freeze randomly | 18:57 |
| === genii-around is now known as genii | ||
| gammy | entilzha: it was due to not running mdadm in monitor mode on my DATA RAID5 in LVM. I presume you don't have three hard drives in your laptop. | 18:57 |
| effi | matthew hey, it didnt work out | 18:57 |
| rabe | i am trying to use Irfan View 4.2 with WINE but it does not start ... any experiences with that?? | 18:57 |
| entilzha | gammy: no, just one, so no raid configuration | 18:58 |
| gammy | entilzha: My point is, everyone had had a system crash randomly. Without more information, it is not possible to locate the fault. | 18:58 |
| tsunami | would anyone mind helping me out with a moblock install...? | 18:58 |
| entilzha | gammy: can you point me to any logs to look into? | 18:58 |
| entilzha | dmesg or smth? | 18:58 |
| gammy | entilzha: All logs reside in /var/log/ | 18:59 |
| gammy | entilzha: look for information occurring prior to the lockup. | 18:59 |
| gammy | entilzha: run memory tests. | 18:59 |
| greencookie | I have a dual boot lappy with win vista 64 bit and Intrepid Ibex; Is there any way I can run Ibex from inside Vista? | 18:59 |
| greencookie | I mean without restarting the computer. | 18:59 |
| matteo_ | hi all since i updated to INTREPID IBEX i can't hear any sounds from flash videos, any tips? | 18:59 |
| SOF4LNX | Hmm, does xchat adjust to other langugeas now and discards the users language ? | 18:59 |
| greencookie | matteo_, i think it has something to do with pulseaudio and alsa conflicts | 18:59 |
| gammy | entilzha: Have you tried disabling X. What new software do you have that didn't come with the previous install. Etc etc etc. Classical fault-finding. | 18:59 |
| SOF4LNX | Stonado | 19:00 |
| NekroJakub | Why doesn't my show desktop button minimise all windows anymore? Now it first minimises them, then when I click again maximises them. Is there any way, any way at all, to reverse that change? It deeply saddens me, it worked so perfectly before... | 19:00 |
| rabe | i am trying to use Irfan View 4.2 with WINE but it does not start ... any experiences with that?? | 19:00 |
| gammy | entilzha: the *least* you have to do is provide exact specs on that machine, which driver you were using, which software was running, the logs and most importantly, try to *reproduce the fault* | 19:00 |
| Grey_Loki | rabe, might wanna ask in #winehq instead :) | 19:00 |
| ltgg0524 | since 8.10 online upgrade, locked out as admin, cannot 'su' ... any tips for newbie? | 19:01 |

| Finnish | Me-Tv is giving me a error : "Failed to open video stream: No demux plugin" Whats this? | 19:01 |
| entilzha | gammy: thx for the infos. I'll try and see if I can find what trigger it. Last time I was just running X-chat and Subspace, so I will try and see if that triggers it.. | 19:01 |
| gwi | Does anyone know why apt-get dist-upgrade says there is nothing to do, while I want to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? | 19:01 |
| matteo_ | hi all since i updated to INTREPID IBEX i can't hear any sounds from flash videos, any tips? | 19:01 |
| SOF4LNX | To piss everyone off we make an ubuntu, make it very varying and perhaps bad so that new users will think this is GNU/Linux ? ... Fix the bugs please! | 19:01 |
| gammy | entilzha: remember, ubuntu has a lot of help on the site.Look in the topic for more info. | 19:02 |
| gammy | matteo_: You seriously need to STOP repeating that. | 19:02 |
| GaMbi_DK | So.. when Im playing (frozen-bubble, Teeworlds etc..) how Do I "Alt+tab" out of it?.. was beginning to thing it wasnt possible.. but then a guy send me a msg via aMSN and it jumped to desktop.. now I cant get back in the game thought.. any help? | 19:02 |
| NekroJakub | Why doesn't my show desktop button minimise all windows anymore? Now it first minimises them, then when I click again maximises them. Is there any way, any way at all, to reverse that change? It deeply saddens me, it worked so perfectly before... | 19:02 |
| entilzha | gammy: any pointers as to which logs may contain lockup info? | 19:03 |
| hwilde | matteo_, reinstall alsa, reinstall flash, reboot. don't open any other programs. | 19:03 |
| hwilde | entilzha, /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages | 19:03 |
| gammy | entilzha: syslog*, message*, daemon*, Xorg* | 19:03 |
| SOF4LNX | matteo_: google gnash and then flash. gnash install is crippled in you version of ubuntu maybe ? | 19:03 |
| entilzha | aah | 19:04 |
| entilzha | Nov 13 19:57:50 MBS-NB158 kernel: [ 455.024006] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 50624 nsec | 19:04 |
| entilzha | is that a good thing? | 19:04 |
| gammy | entilzha: That's fine. | 19:04 |
| NekroJakub | Why doesn't my show desktop button minimise all windows anymore? Now it first minimises them, then when I click again maximises them. Is there any way, any way at all, to reverse that change? It deeply saddens me, it worked so perfectly before... | 19:04 |
| gwi | Does anyone know why apt-get dist-upgrade says there is nothing to do, while I want to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? | 19:04 |
| gammy | entilzha: most things will be fine.. | 19:04 |
| NekroJakub | *sigh* Sorry for the spam, I'm desperate. | 19:04 |
| LoveGuru | i just edit "/etc/sudoers" file i just want to know how to run that file after that it going to be work? | 19:04 |
| Novalty | gwi, System > Admin > software sources - then go to the updates tab, and change the box to Nornal releases instead of LTS | 19:04 |
| _346L3_ | Em... I have a question about compiling the kernel on intrepid... has somebody done it and could assist me with my question, please? | 19:05 |
| rdevabha | Hi | 19:05 |
| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: Dont say sorry if its correct for you. What version of Ubuntu ? | 19:05 |
| entilzha | Nov 13 19:51:13 MBS-NB158 pulseaudio[6026]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. | 19:05 |
| entilzha | hmm, that could be it | 19:05 |
| rdevabha | i have a very big problem with apt-get , can anyone help me here | 19:05 |
| entilzha | Nov 13 19:51:13 MBS-NB158 pulseaudio[6028]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted | 19:05 |

| NekroJakub | SOF4LNX: 8.10 | 19:05 |
| gammy | SOF4LNX: He said sorry for saying the question multiple times. | 19:05 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, maybe.. ask the question | 19:05 |
| rdevabha | My Ubuntu version is 8.10 | 19:05 |
| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: 8.04 and 8.10 seems alright to me... ill go test it right now | 19:06 |
| hwilde | !enter | rdevabha | 19:06 |
| ubottu | rdevabha: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:06 |
| hwilde | rdevabha, what is your prob | 19:06 |
| entilzha | gammy: thanks again, I'm gonna try and reproduce this/ find what's the cause | 19:06 |
| gwi | @Novalty: I already did that, update-manager is showing the "upgrade" button next to the message that 8.10 is available. It just doesn't do anything after displaying the release note and downloading the 2 upgrade program files. | 19:06 |
| gammy | entilzha: Go for it. | 19:06 |
| yates | how do i switch to root? not sudo, but permanently? | 19:06 |
| _346L3_ | sudo su? | 19:06 |
| _346L3_ | :D | 19:06 |
| wwpiexec | in nautilus preferences->media I can only choose specific options to be done when inserting audio CD.. I want to run a self-made script is there a file I can edit to add the script to it? (basically I just want to make it change cwd to ~ and run abcde) | 19:06 |
| entilzha | :) | 19:06 |
| hwilde | !sudo | yates | 19:06 |
| ubottu | yates: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 19:06 |
| needhelp1 | Can anyone help me with this error in 8.10 ... i get no login prompt in X and this is in my /var/log/syslog ::: GDM: WARNING: Couldn't authenticate user | 19:06 |
| boteeka_ | yates: su - | 19:06 |
| needhelp | Hello, after I updated my system, the network doesn't work on that computer. Here are the settings: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71433/. Any suggestions ? | 19:07 |
| genii | boteeka_: sudo -i is preferred | 19:07 |
| Pici | yates: sudo -i | 19:07 |
| matthew | is there really a difference to using gksudo then to sudo ? | 19:07 |
| yates | boteeka: i'm getting authentication failures | 19:07 |
| rdevabha | My systems processor is AMD Phenom and I am not able to play mp3 files , When i play mp3 i could hear the sound very MINUTE...... very very less .... | 19:07 |
| BobRock | hi | 19:07 |
| LoveGuru | ioi just install "squid" from repo.. i just want to know which version i installed. | 19:07 |
| yates | HEY FOLKS: I SAID ___NOT___ SUDO!!! | 19:07 |
| boteeka_ | genii: thnaks, I did't know that :) | 19:07 |
| gammy | yates: sudo -s. You really shouldn't though. | 19:07 |
| Pici | LoveGuru: dpkg -l squid is one way | 19:07 |
| boteeka_ | yates: do you surely know your password? | 19:08 |
| _346L3_ | yates: you don't have that much of a choice... :D | 19:08 |
| rdevabha | Any solution for my MP3 problem i mentioned above ...? | 19:08 |
| wwpiexec | !root | yates | 19:08 |
| ubottu | yates: 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 | 19:08 |
| maggo79 | yates: have you tried starting in recovery mode? | 19:08 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, specify plz | 19:08 |
| boteeka_ | ubottu: LOL | 19:08 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 19:08 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, you hear the sound very minute? very very less? | 19:08 |
| NekroJakub | S0F4LNX: I can tell you what I know, it seems to be tied in with Compiz, it's true that I changed around some settings but I didn't touch show desktop, in fact both the show desktop plugins are off and were off at the time. | 19:08 |
| genii | yates: Ubuntu is extensively sudo based. You'll find it difficult not to be required to use it | 19:08 |
| DocUSN-USMC | does anyone here know how to set upa webcam in 8.10 | 19:08 |
| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: I have no such panel applet. Do you ? | 19:09 |
| yates | i simply want to manage some system files (tex font files in /etc/texmf, to be precise) and i tire of sudo-ing every damn thing | 19:09 |
| rdevabha | Any solution for my MP3 problem i mentioned above ...? | 19:09 |
| boteeka_ | ubottu: ok, sorry, I'm new here | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:09 |
| SOF4LNX | gammy: thats alright | 19:09 |
| yates | thanks - sudo -s works. | 19:09 |
| NekroJakub | S0F4LNX: What do you mean, the show desktop applet? It's in the bottom-left corner in GNOME by default. | 19:09 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: It's probably a daft key conflict don't you think? | 19:09 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, it's kinda hard to help you if you dont specify the problem | 19:09 |
| wwpiexec | yates: just to be clear.. we cannot tell you how to activate the root account.. we can't really be responsible about what happens to your computer if you do start doing stuff as root.. | 19:09 |
| kernel_geek | i will look into the webcam gimme a sec | 19:09 |

| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: i dont have that and i have upgraded from 8.04 | 19:10 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: It seems like a feature, I mean I saw show desktop work like that in KDE I think, but before it just minimised always | 19:10 |
| DocUSN-USMC | does anyone here know how to set upa webcam in 8.10 | 19:10 |

| _346L3_ | my question about the compilation of the kernel on ubuntu 8.10: has anybody tried to do it? i can't compile the kernel, as it seems the ubuntu-addons are broken... | 19:10 |
| wwpiexec | rdevabha: your sound problem is not associated in any way whatever processor you hace.. | 19:10 |
| Pici | !kernel | _346L3_ | 19:10 |
| ubottu | _346L3_: 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 | 19:10 |
| rdevabha | the problem is with playing MP3 files , i think there is some mess up hapened with Audio Codecs | 19:10 |
| kernel_geek | webcam guy: have you tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam ? | 19:10 |
| khu | merciii | 19:10 |
| SOF4LNX | khu: schmurrdidoo | 19:10 |
| khu | il me semblé bien lol | 19:10 |
| yates | wwpiexec: gee, thanks. I think, after using linux heavily for 3 years on several sytems (lightly for 10 years), i think i got the root thing down. but thanks. | 19:10 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: So how does your show desktop button work? | 19:11 |
| _346L3_ | mhm... I know all these howtos... | 19:11 |
| === Doitle is now known as Doitle2 | ||
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, yea saw that.. you are not able to play MP3.. but you can hear it very MINUTE very very less? what do you mean? | 19:11 |
| snikker | i'm unable to install "language-pack-gnome-it-base" package, some hint? | 19:11 |
| wwpiexec | yates: pm me if you wnt to know how | 19:11 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: I'm not too sure what you were talking about earlier, but may I recommend you get the compizconfig-settings-manager package. | 19:11 |
| yates | how to what? | 19:11 |
| _346L3_ | i followed a few of them, because i suspected i was doing something wrong... | 19:11 |
| raro89 | ciao | 19:11 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: I don't have one I'm afrain. | 19:11 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: Er, afraid. | 19:11 |
| yates | get root passwd? | 19:11 |
| wwpiexec | yates: the root thingy | 19:11 |
| rdevabha | Off course i am aware it is nothing to do with processor , But just for info i gave that , how can i solve my Problem with Playing MP3 files ... Please help | 19:11 |
| yates | sudo -s works fine | 19:11 |
| wwpiexec | yates: ok.. | 19:11 |
| boteeka_ | yates: maybe you should just use your own password | 19:11 |
| SOF4LNX | khu: Guten morgen, bom dia, good morning, god morgon, lahastalavista :) | 19:11 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: I got that package already, I'll double-check to make sure. | 19:11 |
| boteeka_ | yates: your user's password | 19:12 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: Ah | 19:12 |
| _346L3_ | the problem is: the parts of the kernel compile quite nice... until it tries to compile the addons ubuntu added to the source... | 19:12 |
| maggo79 | yes, sudo -s is better than sudo -i cause you stay in the same directory | 19:12 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: Yeah, I have it. | 19:12 |
| _346L3_ | it then exits with complaints about undefined functions etc... | 19:12 |
| teicah | any1 w/logitech optical usb 3button+wheel with the side button not working? | 19:12 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, yea I know.. but I dont understand the problem.. when you try to play MP3 files what happens? | 19:12 |
| _346L3_ | I did everything as it was recommended in the official ubuntu-howtos... | 19:12 |
| wwpiexec | _346L3_: undefined functions means that some dependecies are not met.. | 19:13 |
| rdevabha | I mean when playing the mp3 files , the sound comes very very less in the sense , i should keep my Ear attached to speaker with Full sound enabled in the player ... | 19:13 |
| _346L3_ | mhm... | 19:13 |
| _346L3_ | which could these be? | 19:13 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: I just re-read your post while trying my newly added desktop button thinger. | 19:13 |
| wwpiexec | _346L3_: can you pastebin your output for "./configure" | 19:13 |
| _346L3_ | i added every package that was mentioned in the howtos... | 19:13 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: So the problem is what - that it toggles between min/max instead of always mimimizing? | 19:13 |
| _346L3_ | k... wait a sec | 19:13 |
| rdevabha | Gstreamer is installed also | 19:13 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: Exactly. It always minimised before. | 19:13 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: Ok. It seems nice as it is to me. I wonder - how do you maximize them again then? | 19:14 |
| rdevabha | All Gstreamer packages are installed and i've tried installing all nonfree packages of Ubuntu and No luck .... | 19:14 |
| C0p3rn1c | to get my tv-tuner working :the mercurial package is for dvb-t support? | 19:14 |
| LoveGuru | Pici: well thanks "package name -version" works | 19:14 |
| rdevabha | I mean when playing the mp3 files , the sound comes very very less in the sense , i should keep my Ear attached to speaker with Full sound enabled in the player ... | 19:14 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: By clicking the button again. But I don't want that... *sigh* And I do swear it didn't do that before. | 19:14 |
| rdevabha | All Gstreamer packages are installed and i've tried installing all nonfree packages of Ubuntu and No luck .... | 19:14 |
| wwpiexec | !repeat | rdevabha | 19:14 |
| ubottu | rdevabha: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 19:14 |
| _346L3_ | wwpiexec: wait a sec... the VM is booting ;) | 19:14 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: No I mean, how did you do it *before* :) | 19:14 |
| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: Im curious, how did you get that thing that doesnt get installed by default in Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 19:15 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, ok.. so the MP3 is workin it seams.. you fooled around with the volume? try going to sound options in top bar right side.. turn up "Master" and "PCM" | 19:15 |
| C0p3rn1c | !dvb | 19:15 |
| ubottu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 19:15 |
| rdevabha | Master and PCM are enabled already | 19:15 |
| raro89 | ciao | 19:15 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, only MP3 you got trubbles with? Do you hear the logon sound okay? | 19:16 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: Before my desktop showed every time I clicked. All windows minimised. | 19:16 |
| rdevabha | No there is no login Sound EVEN .... | 19:16 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: If I opened one and clicked the button, it'd minimise just show the desktop again. | 19:16 |
| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: Im curious, how did you get that thing that doesnt get installed by default in Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 19:16 |
| rdevabha | No login Sound coming even | 19:16 |
| gammy | NekroJakub: Ok. Well I see what you're upset about (the fact that there is no option for changing this behavior) | 19:16 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, try turning up your speakers then :) | 19:16 |
| NekroJakub | S0F4LNX: I had it from the start, that show desktop button. | 19:16 |
| marino2 | hola | 19:17 |
| rdevabha | Speakers are ON :) Any real solution for the problem please ...? | 19:17 |
| SOF4LNX | NekroJakub: I cant see it over here... | 19:17 |
| GaMbi_DK | rdevabha, do you got ANY sounds playing right? movies.. games.. etc | 19:17 |
| SOF4LNX | Hola! | 19:17 |
| rdevabha | When playing Movies , VIDEO is Crystal CLEAR .... | 19:17 |
| NekroJakub | S0F4LNX: It's default in GNOME I am sure. | 19:17 |
| NekroJakub | gammy: Yeah, why did it change all of a sudden. | 19:17 |

| wwpiexec | SOF4LNX: you're bring generic.. i'm being specific.. whatever program is on a CD.. is not being autorun.. its even being ignored.. so your point is moot.. | 19:42 |

| Pici | Dezine: use fsck | 19:44 |
| Gunmetal | 8.10 and I have a display issue and my xorg.conf has almost nothing in it. Now whay do I do? | 19:44 |
| Pici | !fsck | Dezine | 19:45 |
| ubottu | Dezine: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:45 |
| shingalated | example | 19:45 |
| shingalated | <shingalated> so there is no way to check what has been autoremoved by apt-get? | 19:45 |

| gd1 | joaopinto: because I have it installed | 20:46 |

| loopkick | i dont know why! | 20:47 |
| Spion | Mahalo, in my experience it should usually appear automatically. If it doesn't its possible that it has a NTFS partition which was not cleanly unmounted. | 20:47 |
| joaopinto | it is available unless you removed changed the main repository | 20:47 |

| jasunto | anyone with a working broadcom on 8.10? | 20:47 |
| joaopinto | voox, try asking on #xubuntu | 20:47 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: package ...yadayada.... has no candidates to install | 20:47 |
| voox | joaopinto, oh yah haha thanks | 20:47 |
| Mahalo | Spion, that is what happened... | 20:47 |
| Spion | Mahalo, when that happens I usually mount it from the command line using --force | 20:47 |
| superman | and i have a ralink rt2500 card | 20:48 |
| joaopinto | gd1, check that you have the standard repositories enabled | 20:48 |
| Spion | (I'm not sure if its completely safe, but so far it worked fine) | 20:48 |
| atom^x | Who__ -> u might try "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" | 20:48 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: all of them. sources included | 20:48 |
| orci | hi, when i selesct print from file menu in some apps(not all) the app hangs. such as evince, acrobat reader but not gedit for example, any ideas what may be the problem? | 20:48 |
| Mahalo | hmm... sudo mount sda1 --force | 20:48 |
| gd1 | no candidates to install whatever that means | 20:48 |
| Megiddo | TOO MANY PEOPLE! | 20:49 |
| Spion | Mahalo, I think it would be something like mount --force /dev/sdaX /media/EmptyDirectory | 20:49 |
| daves111 | quit | 20:49 |
| daves111 | exit | 20:49 |
| Spion | sudo mount ... :) sorry | 20:49 |

| joaopinto | RediXe, you are not expected to do that with a regular user | 20:53 |
| gd1 | strange things happen... | 20:53 |
| Mahalo | I see /dev/sda1 = ext3 | 20:53 |
| Spion | Mahalo, you formatted the new disk? so its not NTFS anymore? hm | 20:53 |
| Mahalo | Old disk, was NTFS with boot part on it, for sure. | 20:53 |
| joaopinto | gd1, ah, you are using an unsupport configuration, the linux headers package for that version is available on the hardy repos, not on intrepid | 20:54 |
| Spion | erm, /dev/sda1 would probably be the old disk. | 20:54 |
| Mahalo | can I parted it to make it 100% clean? | 20:54 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: I would like to use the new kernel but it just does not work | 20:54 |
| RediXe | joaopinto: Is there a way to make it work as a regular user? | 20:54 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: it does not boot | 20:54 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: stuck, frozen | 20:54 |
| Spion | Mahalo, well, you can use gparted to see in what state it is right now | 20:55 |
| joaopinto | RediXe, you could chmod a+rw the device, but that is not safe | 20:55 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: I would like to file a bug but it's 99% useless. When a kernel is not good for your system, it will never be | 20:55 |
| bipolar | Is anyone here using an at&t "mercury" 3g usb dongle with hardy? if so I've built a package to update the sierra module to support it that I need some testing on :) | 20:55 |
| Mahalo | kk, it is working on it now. (gparted is) | 20:55 |
| joaopinto | gd1, well, if you file a bug during development it is likely to get some attention and fixed | 20:55 |
| Shishire | is the eth0 device a socket file? | 20:55 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: I dunno if it's a bug | 20:56 |
| Spion | Be careful though... :) | 20:56 |
| joaopinto | gd1, kernels are not bad for any particular system, on your case it's a regression, since you had a working kernel, so you should have filed a bug | 20:56 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: I see no errors, just freeze | 20:56 |
| joaopinto | gd1, if you can boot with hardy but not with intrepid, it's a bug | 20:56 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: is there any log I can investigate and post to the dev's | 20:56 |
| gd1 | joaopinto: otherwise just saying "er, it does not work" is useless for them | 20:56 |

| chupy | no | 21:04 |
| rootrot | Dr_willis: Im aware of that | 21:04 |
| jtisme | test_ just go to system->preferences->sound to reset system wide sound values | 21:05 |
| Dr_willis | rootrot, and the fuseiso (isofuse?) tool can mount that file withoug needing to convert it. (or last the docs say it can) | 21:05 |

| Baversjo | I have a problem with Ext2 IFS For Windows. The problem is that the ext3 filesystem doesn't meet a requirements for the windows program. The utility mountdiag says the following: "The volume has an Ext2/Ext3 file system, but the Ext2 IFS 1.11 software did not | 21:38 |
| Baversjo | mount it because the file system has an inode size unequal to 128 bytes (inode | 21:38 |
| Baversjo | size: 256 bytes). The only way to solve it is to back up the volume's files and format the file | 21:38 |
| Baversjo | system: give the mkfs.ext3 utility the -I 128 switch. Finally, restore all | 21:38 |
| Baversjo | backed-up files." I've tried the following: "mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sda6 -i 128" But the program says that the inode ratio needs to be at least 1024. | 21:38 |
| FloodBot1 | Baversjo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:38 |
| ljuwaidah | _vistor: I can find what exactly on launchpad? | 21:38 |

| chupy | jtisme: no | 21:39 |
| lynx_ | ? | 21:39 |
| joaopinto | Baversjo, the ext2/ext3 windows driver is buggy, why don't you just use ntfs/fat32 to interchange data ? | 21:39 |
| ljuwaidah | _vistor: i thought you were talking abut blueman, thanks, i'll try to download it :) | 21:40 |
| joaopinto | lynx, if it does not work with a specific application, then you need to contact the application author, since it's properly configured and works at the OS level | 21:40 |
| _vistor | ljuwaidah: oh, good luck | 21:40 |
| Baversjo | joaopinto: Okeeey :P | 21:40 |
| lynx_ | thank joaopintp | 21:41 |
| c0p3rn1c | if a modprobe loads a driver that doesnt apply to your hardware dmesg doesnt say anything? | 21:41 |

| _vistor | lynx_: give an exemple of a program is it NOT working in pls | 21:41 |
| jtisme | chupy, you probably need a line similare to snd-hda-nvidia model=MC67... MC67 is the model number of you sound card | 21:41 |

| Baversjo | _vistor: :D | 21:43 |
| ozzloy | what package gives me md5 on ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| joaopinto | Baversjo, the current ntfs support is not the one that has been experimental for many years, it was reimplemented a few years ago | 21:43 |
| c0p3rn1c | no dvb guru's in here? | 21:43 |

| jtisme | chupy, another thing since you did have audio at one time | 21:43 |
| guntbert | ozzloy: md5sum :) at the command line | 21:43 |
| joaopinto | ozzloy, md5sum is a default utility on ubuntu | 21:44 |
| chupy | nothing that affects audio | 21:44 |
| jtisme | chupy, you may need to force remove alsa and pulse audio pkgs and reinstall both | 21:44 |

| joaopinto | dxlr8r, the binaries are provided by gcc-4.1-base which is a dependency to gcc-4.1 | 21:46 |
| Baversjo | You could do it on the live-cd | 21:46 |
| Macros42 | Anon: /var/log/syslog I mean | 21:46 |

| bazhang | digitalice, also burn at very low speed and do the disk integrity check | 21:53 |
| gromeo | no it is not | 21:53 |
| digitalice | the CD is not corrupt | 21:53 |
| joaopinto | liquid, so it's fine, your problem is not missing headers | 21:53 |
| gromeo | df -h shows 103 g left | 21:54 |
| bazhang | digitalice, md5 is nothing about the cd | 21:54 |
| digitalice | nah, the CD is fine | 21:54 |
| joaopinto | lee_1, then you need to use either cut or awk, to get only a part | 21:54 |
| digitalice | no? | 21:54 |
| Phusion | ed0n0n: go to Administration -> services and find Alsa, uncheck and re-check | 21:54 |
| bazhang | nope | 21:54 |
| joaopinto | lee_1, better ask on #bash or a scripting channel | 21:54 |
| Masterkiller | if i'm planning on using an initrd with my kernel, do i still need to modules_install? | 21:54 |

| bazhang | !md5 | digitalice | 21:54 |

| alesan | deagle, I do not see how pressing the ACPI button would help. at that point she can just cut the power like she does anyway after shutdown | 22:03 |
| deagle | alesan: i know all about it, i got the same thing. I've tried all i know and haven't gotten anywhere =\ | 22:03 |
| guntbert | gromeo: and I have dpkg.log there | 22:03 |

| Masterkiller | sliwowitz, check this out, except on the live cd its a diff version of initrd http://lissot.net/partition/ramdisk.html | 22:10 |
| sliwowitz | Masterkiller> It finished at around 50% telling me that the installation is complete, but some packages didn't install | 22:11 |
| ed0n0n | Phusion: this started happening since last kernel update, If I am not wrong. | 22:11 |
| Masterkiller | sliwowitz, ah ok so you are doing an install, i'm repairing a kernel :( | 22:11 |
| Phusion | ed0n0n: must be loading wrong driver | 22:11 |
| oskar- | sliwowitz: you can try to boot from live cd, mount the system, chroot into it, and then try to install the missing things. if you need instructions regarding chroot, look perhaps at the gentoo handbook, here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap1 | 22:11 |

| Dulak | MasterKiller: you can chroot into your / and run apt-get clean to clear out /var/cache/apt, don't do it manually | 22:23 |
| oskar- | gavagai: press "~" and then "." | 22:23 |
| jtisme | gromeo, how did you install OS | 22:23 |
| Masterkiller | Dulak, ok, not taking it off my real install just the working live environment. deleting docs and whatever i can find to make temp room to finish my kernel modules_install | 22:23 |
| chamuscas | how can i open or run a file.run :p | 22:24 |

| Lucifer_ | to certain people | 22:24 |
| gromeo | I think I fixed it :) | 22:24 |
| Masterkiller | Dulak, can you think of anything else i can delete from live cd environment? | 22:24 |
| gromeo | deleted some crap from /boot (a temp kernel file) | 22:25 |
| jtisme | gromeo, interesting | 22:25 |

| Dulak | MasterKiller: you're trying to master acustom livecd with your own kernel? | 22:26 |
| jtisme | gromeo, maybe someone else does | 22:26 |
| Masterkiller | Dulak, removing open office files helped a lot. well i am compile a kernel. i've booted into a live cd (old kernel had panick) and with all the packages it took to compile the kernel it took up all the memory (or virtual disk) so i can't complete the modules_install so i can copy it ot my boot drive | 22:27 |

A: My network button on the top right panel disappeared, I was able to add a similar button back, but it no longer has the drop down menu to choose networks. Was this due to an update perhaps? | 22:27 |

| DIFH-iceroot | |Chrizz|: google, gnome-look.org, arts.gnome.org | 22:30 |
| jtisme | chupy, when you go to system->preferences-> sound what r the names of the devices in the dialog boxes there | 22:31 |
| Scunizi | scientes: a different one? or just to restart the one you have? | 22:31 |
| |Chrizz| | DIFH-iceroot: I searched on google, and hgot on the gnome website, but none of the themes work | 22:31 |

| chupy | there arent devices | 22:31 |
| scientes | Scunizi, another one, cause the switcher applet wont let me log in twice | 22:31 |
| oskar- | scientes: from gnome via the logout dialog, from console with "gdmflexiserver" or maybe others | 22:31 |

| oskar- | AlexPalmer: maybe your problem can be solved without the trouble of downgrading, if you describe it a bit | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l? | 22:35 |
| Guest50862 | can somebody help me? | 22:35 |

| phantomcircuit | my DVD drive won't open and theres a cd in it | 22:35 |

| mcquaid | i just upgraded a 8.04 box to 8.10. so far so good except wireless. it works if I connect to the wireless network while in gnome, but i have no net outside of gnome | 22:36 |
| mcquaid | this box is mainly used for mythtv, so I just run a barebones WM and not gnome | 22:37 |
| mr_polite | AlexPalmer: its really simple. when youre setting up your new install, have the installer create a separate home partition | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: ceck dmesg for kernel errors releating to the drive / sata controller beeing loaded | 22:37 |

| AlexPalmer | that's a good idea | 22:37 |
| Guest50862 | mercutio22: i don't see a thing if i set it to a higher resolution | 22:37 |
| AlexPalmer | i think it usually crashes when in transmission, but it has crashed while not using transmission | 22:38 |
| Guest50862 | mercutio22: i'm using a laptop (with unichrome drivers) | 22:38 |
| mr_polite | you might want to do /opt aswell, just incase you instal a lot of apps that are distro independent | 22:38 |

| AlexPalmer | is there a way to save my transmission info so when i load into 8.04 i can start where i left off? | 22:38 |

| ActionParsnip | phantomcircuit: id reboot if its good to do so | 22:39 |
| Guest50862 | mercutio22: i've changed my xorg.conf file | 22:39 |

| matreya6 | Raylz: My old box is KT600 based, my new box IntelICH10 that's several generations between them. I'm almost sure it's my SATA giving problems as the other box has Ibex installed as well (32 bits) | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_newbie: install nvidia-settings and run it with gksudo | 23:03 |

| egoflux | not an american swear word... | 23:04 |
| mikebeecham | I'm a fairly new Linux user, come across from Windows....do I need to defrag my hard drive, from time to time? | 23:04 |
| Macros42 | Slart: can you play regioned disks without setting a region? | 23:04 |
| egoflux | using that logic i could say fag as many times as i wanted to | 23:05 |
| egoflux | fag = cigarrete in england | 23:05 |
| Slart | Macros42: on a software player, I think so | 23:05 |
| tripitakit | mikebeecham: no u dont need to do it | 23:05 |
| matreya6 | Raylz: Buffer I/O errors are not DRM-related. They are driver failures. My Drives work perfectly under Windows XP 64, so it must be the drivers or the kernel. | 23:05 |
| Macros42 | Slart: nvm - I just remembered I never installed decss on my htpc :D that's possibly why I couldn't play them :D | 23:05 |
| Slart | Macros42: but I can't really say I've played a lot of commercial dvds in my computer.. | 23:05 |
| VPS|KDE | mikebeecham: no, you dont need to defrag | 23:05 |
| Raylz | matreya6: ok, i just had very bad experiences with dvds | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | egoflux: its used in the same context as any agressive noun, just drop it, its not cool | 23:06 |
| mikebeecham | tripitakit: why not? Is it that Linux works differently from windows in that respect? What happens when I delete files from my hdd? | 23:06 |
| Macros42 | Slart: me neither - htpc in place for months - tried my first dvd on Monday | 23:06 |
| mikebeecham | same question for VPS|KDE | 23:06 |

| matreya6 | Raylz, I understand that from you, but I'm a semi-pro DVD reviewer, so it's crucial I get this to work. | 23:06 |
| VPS|KDE | mikebeecham: the filesystem that linux has does all that for you | 23:06 |
| glaksmono | when i minimize the window, i don't see the application on the bottom panel :( | 23:06 |

| glaksmono | i don't see the minimized application on the bottom panel :( | 23:07 |
| tripitakit | mikebeecham: it works differntly yes, | 23:07 |
| Whyvas | glaksmono try ctrl-alt-backspace | 23:07 |
| Slart | mikebeecham: linux handles the placing of files differently from windows.. you might still get some fragmentation but it's not really something you can do about it.. well.. apart from not filling your drives completely | 23:07 |
| mikebeecham | VPS|KDE: so is there any maintenance that I need to be concerned about, or is that just a windows concern? | 23:07 |

| VPS|KDE | mikebeecham: nope, its all automatic, no need for virus scanners either | 23:08 |
| Slart | mikebeecham: there was a defrag program some time ago but if I recall correctly it was a 50/50 chance of trashing the file system when you used it =/ | 23:08 |
| mikebeecham | VPS|KDE: restart X is just ctrl+alt+backspace? | 23:08 |

| tripitakit | CarlFK: in gnome, killall compiz; metacity & | 23:23 |
| antares | georgy_28, yeah... For Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) and above most of the instructions below are obsolete. For 7.10, just plug in your supported adapter and an icon appears in the top right. Right click to setup your preferences. Devices will auto connect to your PC and you can setup security as you connect each device, e.g. your phone. | 23:23 |

| jrib | AlexPalmer: any problem with just using 'split'? | 23:57 |
| linxeh | AlexPalmer: you could just run "split" on it for now, and cat them together etc | 23:57 |
| linxeh | AlexPalmer: longer term you could repackage it as a multi-part zip | 23:57 |
| AlexPalmer | what is split? is it a preinstalled application? and will i be able to reassemble them in OS X | 23:57 |
| greghere | so I could use /boot for boot files, / for linux install and /home formy stuff? | 23:57 |

| jrib | AlexPalmer: yes, you have the 'cat' command on osx | 23:58 |
| boskoop | greghere: right | 23:58 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: can you explain the steps for me. thanks | 23:58 |
| borislav_simic | whatever I do I can not watch you-tube on ubuntu | 23:58 |
| droopsta915 | I know what it is, I have a few questions and was wondering if there is a room to ask in? | 23:58 |
| linxeh | AlexPalmer: yes, definitely. OSX has everything you want available (look at macports.org too for other options) | 23:58 |
| ddgoose | deagle, look here for your non sarcaastic answer :P -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=48169 | 23:58 |

| Cmclean | Orchid`: you using pidgin? | 23:59 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: you would split the files (split's man page should be an easy read), then to put the together you just do: cat file1 file2 ... fileN > file | 23:59 |
| boskoop | you absolutely need a / partition | 23:59 |
| funkyHat | Orchid`: you can use pidgin instant messenger to connect to yahoo IM | 23:59 |
| deagle | ddgoose: i've tried that method like 29834729834 times before, it don't work | 23:59 |
