| TopBunny88 | Which chat client is better irssi or xchat? | 00:00 |
| Orchid` | Cmclean, yes i do use pidgin but webcams ar enot support by it and kopete wont work | 00:00 |
| Uplink | where can i find system sounds? | 00:00 |
| deagle | Orchid: use mercury | 00:00 |
| jrib | TopBunny88: whichever one is better for YOU | 00:00 |
| Uplink | and dont say gnome-look.org | 00:00 |
| Cmclean | Orchid`: mmmhhh sec | 00:00 |
| Mo0oSaH | Orchid`: Gyachi also has video chat support | 00:00 |
| filosofixit | about my VPN issue : these files seems to be missing : /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-ppp-starter.name and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-ppp-starter.conf - is there any way I could obtain those manually? | 00:00 |
| Orchid` | mercury, is in the repositories deagle ? and whats gyachi? | 00:00 |
| greghere | boskoop, so there would be no advantage to have /boot, /, and /home? I should just have / and /home? | 00:00 |
| deagle | nope, no clue | 00:00 |
| borislav_simic | Mo0oSaH have any idea | 00:00 |
| deagle | Orchid': http://thebachman.info/public/Versions_Ubuntu/mercury-messenger-1.9.deb | 00:01 |
| Mo0oSaH | borislav_simic: what do you mean when you say it doesn't run at all? Do you get some kind of error? What browser are you using? | 00:01 |
| VPS|KDE | TopBunny88: if you're new to linux, you'd probably want to go with Xchat over Irssi | 00:01 |
| boskoop | greghere: advantage is if you want to use an exotic file system on / which isn't supported by grub | 00:01 |
| Orchid` | deagle, is it pretty reliable as well? | 00:02 |
| deagle | yep | 00:02 |
| greghere | boskoop, Ahh! all makeing sense now, thank you very much :-) | 00:02 |
| Cmclean | best software for ipod on 'bantu? | 00:02 |
| deagle | now keep in mind it's only for the MSN protocol | 00:02 |

| bushwacker | Hello when I boot into Ubuntu LiveCD, it loads with the progress bar, then all I get is a black screen with a white blinking _ symbol | 00:07 |
| bushwacker | is there a way to fix this, or does it mean it hasn't finished loading | 00:07 |
| greghere | Has anyone installed Helix, ubuntu 8.04 clone? | 00:07 |
| === Colrol is now known as Rolcol | ||
| nootrope | i just upgraded to 8.1 and when i go to System | About Ubuntu, this is what the version line says, "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in ." What da...? | 00:08 |
| magnetron | greghere→ maybe you should ask in the Helix channel/mailing list/forum | 00:08 |
| jrib | nootrope: check for a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com and file one if it doesn't exist | 00:08 |
| bushwacker | does anyone know? | 00:09 |
| nootrope | jrib, thanks, i will | 00:09 |
| jrib | bushwacker: ask an actual question | 00:09 |
| bushwacker | why do I only see a blinking _ ? | 00:09 |
| greghere | magnetron, Yes i will, just thought I would ask her first :-) | 00:09 |
| blizzo2 | Thanks MEz | 00:09 |
| magnetron | bushwacker→ you may need the alternate CD for install | 00:09 |
| magnetron | !alternate | bushwacker | 00:09 |
| ubottu | bushwacker: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 00:09 |
| blizzo2 | and thanks jrib | 00:09 |

| jrib | TopBunny88: why not use pidgin? | 00:10 |
| magnetron | bushwacker→ because you see a blinking _ | 00:10 |
| bushwacker | ok ill try it | 00:10 |

| Mez | magnetron: sudo apt-get install --reinstall lsb-release | 00:10 |

| mOrO^ | bushwacker: save the files and folders you want and do a clean install with an iso... you will have less headaches. | 00:10 |
| boskoop | :) | 00:10 |

| panfist | i have a drive with a partition on it that i can't mount. in /dev all I see is /dev/sda and no /dev/sda1, but if i do "fdisk /dev/sda" and print the partition table, it shows /dev/sda1 -- ntfs | 00:11 |

| gavagai | Is anyone here using TVAnts on Ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| zsquareplusc | magnetron: is that one broken? the peristent file feature? | 00:13 |

| KDB9000 | Does anyone know if it is possible to set my laptop so that when I close the screen it gos into lock mode? | 00:13 |
| magnetron | logd→ are you using debian or ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| Markov | does anyone know how I can rip a CD in MP3 format using sound juicer? the mp3 profile is in the list of profiles and it is set to active. But, it does not show up in the dropdown of option output formats.... | 00:14 |
| logd | actually both | 00:14 |
| mker | I'm installing Debian and I chose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM". This is what it looks like when I get to finish partitioning http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8559/screenshotdebian50runniyn1.png . Now I'm a little confused, is *everything* encrypted there? Swap too? (Sorry for asking about Debian here but no answer on #debian. Someone here should know and Ubuntu *is* based on Debian :) ) | 00:14 |
| jrib | mker: ask the debian channel | 00:14 |
| Cmclean | markov: You need the restricted software pack | 00:14 |
| magnetron | mker→ don't ask here, wrong channel | 00:14 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: i am having trouble figuring out the split command in the man pages | 00:15 |
| Markov | Cmclean, which one? I've installed several | 00:15 |
| AngryElf | how do I disable CD/DVD autoplay? | 00:15 |
| logd | a kernel issue regards every distro... yours a brand new kindof racism... | 00:15 |
| Cmclean | Markov: it's a command and it a HUGE file of every restricted formay | 00:15 |
| Cmclean | Markov: not like those those only do some video some audio etc. | 00:16 |
| hackeron | hey, I have a smartd question - every hour, for the last 6 months or so, smartd writes to syslog /dev/sdc, 4 currently unreadable (pending) sectors -- The hard drive seems ok, I bought a replacement but it's on a raid5, I will wait for it to fail first, but how do I tell smartd I've seen the messages and stop them being repeated? | 00:16 |
| mker | Well I'm also interested in how Ubuntu handles it, I'm assuming Ubuntu does it the same way as Debian? Is swap encrypted in the same situation for Ubuntu? | 00:16 |
| magnetron | logd→ the people here are volunteers, we cannot provide support for every distro on earth | 00:16 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: split -b SIZE FILE | 00:16 |
| Cmclean | Does anyone know what the command is for that? | 00:16 |
| bnfyf | what program can I use to make macros that can control ubuntu windows? | 00:16 |
| logd | also ok just tell the ubuntu way! | 00:16 |
| Cmclean | it is like sudo apt-get ? | 00:16 |
| jrib | bnfyf: wmctrl | 00:16 |
| jrib | bnfyf: you might be interested in devilspie as well | 00:17 |
| bnfyf | thanks | 00:17 |
| Cmclean | Markov: umm can't find the command | 00:17 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: that's what i have been trying, but i cannot figure out the whole numbering thing. If i want a 100 mb split i am not sure what numbers to type in. Same goes for a 4 GB split. It's very confusing to me | 00:17 |
| Falstius | mker: you would want your swap to be encrypted. A lot of your private data ends up in memory and so in swap. | 00:17 |
| panfist | can anyone explain why i might see /dev/sda, but not any partitions on it, even though fdisk tells me there is a partition on it | 00:17 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: the man page describes the format at the bottom. 100 mb would be: 100MB | 00:18 |
| Markov | Cmclean, no problem. i'm hunting through synaptic | 00:18 |
| Cmclean | Markov: yah likely there | 00:18 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: Sorry. It's 100M. See the difference in the man page | 00:18 |
| mker | Falstius: Yeah, but does it happen when you choose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" (I'm assuming it's called exactly the same in Ubuntu, unfortunately I chose graphical installer when installing Ubuntu and I think it's only available in the alternate cd) | 00:19 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: it says "MB 1000*1000". Ok. and would 4 GB be 4 G? | 00:19 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: yes | 00:19 |
| bnfyf | jrib: is there a program I can use to record macros more easily? | 00:19 |
| zsquareplusc | what would i run to format a memory stick to fat32 w/o partition table? | 00:19 |
| boskoop | Markov: sudo apt-get install lame gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse | 00:19 |
| jrib | bnfyf: what kind of thing are you thinking of doing? | 00:20 |
| vasilis | hi, has anybody else got problems with the mouse after installing vmware tools on a vmware player 2.5 running ubuntu 8.5 as guest? | 00:20 |
| jrib | zsquareplusc: gparted | 00:20 |
| Falstius | mker: I don't think it is exactly the same, I don't have a separate /boot partition. | 00:20 |
| bnfyf | jrib: I want to configure Remote Desktop from the ubuntu System menu automatically with a shellscript | 00:20 |
| boskoop | Markov: after that sound-juicer should be able to rip to mp3 | 00:20 |
| zsquareplusc | jrib: isnt that creating a partition table anyway? | 00:20 |
| mker | Falstius: Interesting, I should get the alternate cd and try it out in VirtualBox. | 00:20 |
| jrib | zsquareplusc: right. I must have misunderstood what you meant. I assume you have a usb disk now w/o a partition table and want to format it now? | 00:21 |
| Ktj | how can i change server in xchat ( i want to go on quakenet) ?? | 00:21 |
| bnfyf | jrib: I want to record mouse and keyboard events then play them back at will | 00:21 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: i typed in "sudo split -d 100M ~/Desktop/ubuntu* ~/test/testing" and i get an error that says "split: extra operand" but it appears to be working. Thank you so much | 00:22 |
| bnfyf | Ktj: /server irc.quakenet.org | 00:22 |
| lox | Ktj, /server irc.qua...... | 00:22 |
| zsquareplusc | jrib: i have one with, but it gives me problem with the usb startup disk thing. so i wanted to try it once w/o :-) | 00:22 |
| Ktj | thnx :) | 00:22 |
| musikgoat | zsquareplusc: can you format a disk with a filesystem without a partition table? that would be news to me | 00:22 |
| Markov | thanks boskoop! I was missing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse. I had installed practically every other gstreamer* package I could find.. heh | 00:22 |
| boskoop | ;) | 00:22 |

| zsquareplusc | musikgoat: its how floppies and most usb flash disks for windoze are formated | 00:22 |
| jrib | smokewon: put the binary in ~/bin/ | 00:23 |

| zsquareplusc | KDB9000: did you check the energy options in the preferences? | 00:26 |

| bashbin | hihi | 00:27 |
| jrib | lanoxx: you need to give more details as I'm not sure what your issue is exactly | 00:27 |

| lanoxx | jrib, i had sun-java5 and 6 installed, im compiling my projects with java6 but the glassfish server is running with java5, i removed java5 hoping to get glassfish running with java6 so it wont complain about new versions anymore. now glassfish always complains that it can find java6 | 00:28 |
| smokewon | i can only run "netbeans" in the ~/bin directory | 00:28 |
| ferfactor | Seveas i'll check now thanks bro | 00:28 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: what does the fileN > file mean? | 00:28 |
| smokewon | i want to be able to run netbeans no matter waht dir im in | 00:28 |
| jrib | lanoxx: what does sudo have to do with this? | 00:28 |
| KDB9000 | boskoop, I have but it doesn't lock or do screensaver. It just turns the display off. | 00:29 |
| boskoop | and activate lock session when in screensaver mode | 00:29 |
| KDB9000 | boskoop, already have it enabled | 00:29 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: I just mean the last file, so if you had 3 files (N = 3): cat file1 file2 file3 > file | 00:29 |
| lanoxx | jrib, in my normal user $JAVA_HOME is sourced from /etc/environment but the sudo command does seem to get this variable from somewhere else | 00:29 |
| jrib | lanoxx: right. | 00:29 |
| lanoxx | jrib, because im starting the glassfish server with root rights | 00:29 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: is the "> file" where you are saving it? | 00:29 |
| jrib | AlexPalmer: exactly | 00:29 |
| AlexPalmer | jrib: thank you | 00:30 |
| lanoxx | sudo ./startserv | 00:30 |

| killerboy | hello, i have some problems concerning ftp server+lftp, does lftp need some specials to do recursive mirroring? | 00:30 |
| boskoop | must be somewhere in your gnome-config | 00:30 |
| KDB9000 | boskoop, not really. blank screen does what it sounds like. nothing in there says screensaver or lock | 00:30 |
| lanoxx | sudo ./startserv ..... ./startserv: 122: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: not found | 00:30 |
| KDB9000 | boskoop, I haven't checked gconf yet | 00:31 |
| jrib | lanoxx: so read startserv and see what is on line 122 | 00:31 |
| lanoxx | on 122 is $JAVA_HOME which is set to java-1.5.0 | 00:31 |
| lanoxx | it SHOULD however be set to java6 | 00:31 |
| jrib | lanoxx: set where...? | 00:31 |
| musikgoat | lanoxx: you should grep your home directory for "$JAVA_HOME", if its not too big | 00:32 |
| lanoxx | i have no idea where, from where ever the sudo command gets the $JAVA_HOME env_variable | 00:32 |
| Ktj | is there a tool which allows me to monitor network for all pc in my LAN aeria?(LAN+net monitoring)?? | 00:32 |
| jrib | lanoxx: I'm pretty sure that's not set anywhere. sudo -i and run echo $JAVA_HOME | 00:32 |
| lox | Ktj, wireshark? | 00:32 |
| zsquareplusc | Ktj: thats a bit more complicate when you have a switch rather than a hub. but there are a few. | 00:33 |
| jrib | lanoxx: have you rebooted since removing java 1.5 by the way? | 00:33 |
| sniff | hii | 00:33 |
| Ktj | well i have switch adn then router wich maintain net | 00:33 |
| Bocian | Hi | 00:33 |
| lanoxx | running echo $JAVA_HOME as user gives me /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun, | 00:33 |
| lanoxx | jrib, yes, just rebootet | 00:34 |
| jrib | lanoxx: ok, and after sudo -i? | 00:34 |
| zsquareplusc | Ktj: wireshart and iptraf are nice but only show traffic that is at your cable. so not everything if there is a switch | 00:34 |
| lanoxx | and i set the $CLASSPATH and $JAVA_HOME variables in /etc/environment | 00:34 |
| j1 | anyone know how to have a different background for each workstation | 00:34 |
| lanoxx | echo $JAVA_HOME | 00:34 |
| Ktj | would it help if i d put all pc to router? | 00:34 |
| jrib | j1: what window manager? | 00:34 |
| lanoxx | is not set | 00:34 |
| boskoop | KDB9000, did you configured "activate screensaver, when user is idle" and "lock screen when screensaver is active" in gnome-screensaver-preferences? | 00:34 |
| zsquareplusc | Ktj: the router probably also is just a switch from the LAN's view | 00:35 |
| jrib | lanoxx: right. Before we proceed? Did you do: | 00:35 |

| lanoxx | livecd, copy ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile/<something>.default i think | 00:42 |
| livecd | jrib, ... script? | 00:42 |

| Tbone139 | !patience | 00:44 |

| musikgoat | Twichey: ok | 00:44 |
| funkyHat | ed___: the first thing I'd suggest trying is 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-old' then reboot | 00:44 |

| boskoop | hello ubottu | 00:45 |
| Tyreus | Huh? Its running as far as i know, can config the caps properly. | 00:45 |
| jrib | truebosko: pastebin what you you are doing | 00:45 |
| Ktj | jrib: only like this? | 00:45 |
| ed___ | funkyHat: what does that do? | 00:45 |
| musikgoat | !msgthebot | boskoop | 00:45 |
| jrib | Ktj: exactly :) | 00:45 |
| ubottu | boskoop: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 00:45 |
| ed___ | funkyHat: does that restore xconf to default? | 00:45 |
| lanoxx | jrib, it reads $JAVA_HOME from $AS_JAVA which seems to be an env_variable this is already set to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun | 00:45 |
| Ktj | jrib: k thnx | 00:45 |
| Tyreus | Except i misunderstood sthing | 00:46 |
| jrib | Tyreus: ask the channel #compiz-fusion | 00:46 |
| truebosko | jrib: just sudo apt-get install banshee .. but I have banshee 1.2 already, BUT the banshee website shows 1.4 is available on Intrepid (which I am on) | 00:46 |
| gavagai | wooo0000t, tvants is working in ubuntu | 00:46 |
| jrib | lanoxx: is AS_JAVA set when you do sudo -i? | 00:46 |
| lanoxx | jrib, no | 00:46 |
| yao_ziyuan | i have to say | 00:46 |
| jrib | lanoxx: then it's also getting set earlier in the script | 00:46 |
| funkyHat | ed___: xorg.conf is the configuration file for X (the graphical interface server), it may be that there are some settings in there that are messing up on your computer, and that file is often not needed anymore with 8.10 | 00:46 |
| yao_ziyuan | libnotify is so cool | 00:46 |
| Tyreus | Can i jump from here to there? | 00:46 |
| yao_ziyuan | install pidgin-libnotify, | 00:46 |

| jrib | truebosko: link to where it says it should be 1.4? | 00:47 |
| yao_ziyuan | and you will get system-style notification window for your pidgin. | 00:47 |
| WelshDragon | Uplink, No. | 00:47 |
| Uplink | WelshDragon: oh ok :( | 00:47 |
| truebosko | jrib: http://banshee-project.org/download/ | 00:47 |
| truebosko | Shows latest version 1.4, release November 10th | 00:47 |
| funkyHat | ed___: it moves the file to somewhere were X won't look for a config file, so you're effectively deleting the settings, but using mv means you can easily move the file back if that doesn't work | 00:47 |
| jrib | truebosko: I don't see where it says it is version 1.4 in ubuntu. In fact, it's not as ubottu said | 00:48 |
| Tyreus | Well thx though. | 00:48 |
| truebosko | Well it says Latest version 1.4 but does not say specific releases | 00:48 |
| akincer | I'm having a very unpleasant experience with 8.10 | 00:48 |
| jrib | truebosko: right. It seems to be 1.2 in intrepid | 00:48 |
| truebosko | Ok | 00:48 |
| truebosko | thanks for clearing that up | 00:48 |
| jrib | truebosko: their ppa does have a 1.4 version for intrepid though | 00:49 |

| Gnea | akincer: where did you download urban terror from? i don't see it in the repo | 00:53 |
| lox | having absolutely no problems with 8.10 here.. lovin it! :) | 00:53 |
| Lancelot | there's a bunch of them | 00:53 |
| Gnea | mercutio22: why not? | 00:53 |
| akincer | Urban Terror is not an app in any repository I know | 00:53 |

| jrib | Lancelot: yep, just that package. Whatever else is needed will be installed automatically | 00:53 |
| mercutio22 | Gnea: grub can' t find the system | 00:53 |
| Gnea | akincer: right, which means that we don't officially support it. so where did you d/l it from? | 00:53 |

| lanoxx- | jrib, does that mean the glassfish startup scripts are buggy? | 00:54 |
| ed___ | musikgoat: i tried it. it said gdm started on console but nothing appeared | 00:54 |
| Gnea | mercutio22: how do you know it can't find the system? | 00:54 |
| Lancelot | jrib: the source? | 00:54 |
| akincer | Gnea: I would assume the graphics drivers and/or X is supported. The bug manifests in Urban Terror | 00:54 |
| jrib | lanoxx-: I don't know anything about glassfish. You may want to check bugs.ubuntu.com though | 00:54 |
| mercutio22 | Gnea also, gparted shows only one single unallocated partition | 00:54 |
| jrib | Lancelot: just virtualbox-ose | 00:54 |
| mercutio22 | Gnea: I lost the partition table | 00:54 |
| akincer | Well, probably not the drivers since it is the proprietary ATI drivers | 00:54 |
| akincer | which could be the issue | 00:54 |
| Gnea | akincer: okay, well, that's nice, but not helpful. | 00:55 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:58 |

| jrib | Uplink: command line application | 00:59 |
| jrib | ed___: pastebinit FILE | 00:59 |
| ed___ | jrib: does it return a link? | 00:59 |
| Uplink | jrib: what is CLA | 00:59 |
| jacoblyles | I tried texMaker and Kile. Neither will compile a Latex document. Is there something else I need to setup besides just installing them from the add/remove program menu? | 00:59 |
| avis | thanks lanoxx. i hope it comes with one. it has vista preinstalled. | 00:59 |
| jrib | Uplink: I don't know, I never said "CLA". | 00:59 |

| lanoxx- | jrib, dpkg: /usr/share/glassfishv2/config/asenv.conf not found. | 01:00 |
| jrib | Uplink: it's an application that runs on the command line (terminal) | 01:00 |
| mercutio22 | boskoop: done that as well. I get an error: Fatal error: dev(/dev/sda): seek failure | 01:00 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: nice, i was hoping it would be a little more descriptive :-) | 01:00 |
| RivitingOne | Gnea: I can see the network (I named it network) from the xp side but it says I don't have permission to access it and I can;t seem to see anything from the ubuntu side or I am looking in the wrong place. | 01:00 |
| jrib | lanoxx-: ok, try the package you said then | 01:00 |
| ed___ | jrib: how do i paste this link to you? | 01:00 |
| lanoxx- | hehe | 01:00 |
| jrib | ed___: type it out | 01:00 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: one sec | 01:00 |
| mercutio22 | Gnea it does. It is installed and all | 01:00 |
| ed___ | jrib: :SS | 01:00 |

| jrib | lanoxx-: you might also check 'apt-cache depends glassfishv2' and look for good candidates | 01:01 |
| jrib | Uplink: yep | 01:01 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: don't worry aboutthe rest | 01:01 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat ok | 01:01 |
| jrib | ed___: you could use screen to if you wanted, but then you'd have to learn to use screen, so it's easier if you just type it | 01:01 |

| Fephisto | I've been trying out Wubi, some questions: if my computer works alright on Wubi, will it necessarily work on a normal Ubuntu install? (i.e., does wubi simulate the driver capacities?) Furthermore, if I switch to Ubuntu, do I have to worry about network configuration business in order to get on the internet via broadband, or is it automatic? | 01:03 |

| TwicheyUL | musikgoat it doesn have any of those i think its a v1 | 01:05 |
| lanoxx- | jrib, indeed, i figure that since i have installed both java-5-sun AND java-5-sun there it could have been set to java-5-sun | 01:05 |
| Lancelot | jrib: I put the file "virtualbox-ose-source" on my computer, but I can't find virtualbox anywhere on my computer! | 01:05 |
| jrib | carlos__: install flashplugin-nonfree | 01:05 |
| ozzilee1 | Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu keeps track of what folder an application's launcher should go in? By category I mean "Accessories", "Games", etc. It doesn't seem to be in the .desktop file... | 01:05 |
| carlos__ | thanks jrib | 01:05 |
| lanoxx- | also during the installation i got a memory overflow and the pc crshed | 01:05 |
| jrib | lanoxx-: I said to install the virtualbox-ose package through synaptic | 01:06 |
| VPS|KDE | how do you zip a file with command line i need it to be .zip | 01:06 |
| lanoxx- | i ran dkpg --configure something and fixed it | 01:06 |
| ed___ | jrib: did you get my pastebins? | 01:06 |
| jrib | Lancelot: I said to install the virtualbox-ose package through synaptic | 01:06 |

| mercutio22 | oh man... for crying out loud | 01:06 |

| adub | i am not seeing the files located in my Desktop i accidently issued a commmand mv /home/adub/Desktop /var/www | 01:06 |
| Uplink | jrib: the wav file is fine.. but the .ogg doesnt complete... | 01:06 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat i still have the box, should i check it? | 01:06 |
| adub | Desktop is still in the same place but i can not see the files there | 01:06 |
| Lancelot | jrib: I did that... I searched virtualbox, and a whole bunch of different files popped up. | 01:06 |
| jrib | mikem: might want to try #apache for apache-specific issues | 01:06 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: ok, well, this device id seems to match, i would suggest following these instructions on installing ndiswrapper for your belkin http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745655&highlight=050d%3A705e | 01:06 |
| adub | it is still in /home/adub/Desktop | 01:06 |
| storrgie | would anyone be willing to help me with networking issues? | 01:07 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: the third post or so | 01:07 |
| VPS|KDE | how do you zip a file with command line i need it to be .zip | 01:07 |
| jrib | Lancelot: right. But you said you installed virtualbox-ose-source. That's not the package I told you to install. You need virtualbox-ose (no -source) | 01:07 |
| jrib | VPS|KDE: did you see 'man zip'? Poke me if you are stuck after looking there | 01:07 |
| sliverchair | jrib: thanx, did it with sudo. One more, I have a WLAN here, and ubuntu 8.10 asks for a passwd every startup, how do I make it remember the default keyring something | 01:07 |
| Lancelot | jrib: okay, should I uninstall that one then? | 01:07 |
| Uplink | jrib: hmmm the other wav converts FINE | 01:07 |
| VPS|KDE | ok | 01:07 |
| jrib | sliverchair: don't know | 01:07 |
| VPS|KDE | i will thanks | 01:07 |
| jrib | Lancelot: you don't need to, but you can | 01:07 |
| mikem | jrib: thanks. we've tried there, the current crew was unable to figure it out. guess i'll try again later. thanks | 01:07 |
| sliverchair | anyone uses WLAN here? | 01:08 |
| Lancelot | jrib: okay, thank you. I appreciate the help ;) | 01:08 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat ok ill try it | 01:08 |
| jrib | mikem: might try simpler .htaccess to make sure that's not the issue | 01:08 |
| Fephisto | Anyone? | 01:08 |

| RivitingOne | I have samba installed | 01:09 |

| boskoop | RivitingOne: ok, no try in nautilus: "smb://ip.of.your.xp.computer" | 01:10 |
| jrib | Lancelot: no problem | 01:10 |
| declension | rrittenhouse, no.. its geforce 8200 mobo.. 7.1 audio.. got weird humming | 01:10 |
| jrib | a_: system -> administration -> system monitor, but using 'xkill' is A LOT nicer. You just run 'xkill' and then click on the program | 01:11 |
| thiebaude | carlos_:or the adobe website has the flash10 .deb | 01:11 |
| coppro | my fglrx is completely broken | 01:11 |
| rrittenhouse | declension: Not sure. My Intel HDA (i think it is) got really noisey when I went to Ibex. | 01:11 |
| jrib | thiebaude: flash 10 is what is in the repositories of intrepid | 01:11 |
| a_ | this one doesnt show in system monitor | 01:11 |
| a_ | prboom | 01:11 |
| a_ | it wont close | 01:11 |
| jrib | a_: is it a GUI application? | 01:11 |
| thiebaude | ok i didn't know, im using 8.04 | 01:11 |
| jrib | !who | a_ | 01:11 |
| ubottu | a_: 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 :) | 01:11 |
| a_ | its a port of doom | 01:11 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop: Is nautilus the terminal? Do I use the external ip or the internal one? Both computers go through a router to connect to the internet. | 01:12 |
| jrib | a_: so that's a "yes"? | 01:12 |
| a_ | !its a windowed game | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:12 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: nautilus is the file manager | 01:12 |
| declension | rrittenhouse, i got AC97 and something else on bios to choose from.. but my ubuntu tends to crash if switch stuff from there | 01:12 |
| a_ | its a windowed game !jrib | 01:12 |
| jrib | a_: right. So did you try using 'xkill'? | 01:12 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: are they on the same router? | 01:12 |
| a_ | jrib dont know it | 01:12 |
| Chaotic_Descent | oh god. hidden files are back in my file upload/download/load/save menu! and for some reason I didn't write down the keyboard shortcut that makes them go away! help! | 01:13 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop yes | 01:13 |
| boskoop | i mean in the same subnet? | 01:13 |
| boskoop | ok | 01:13 |
| jrib | a_: run 'xkill' in a terminal and then click on the prboom window | 01:13 |
| boskoop | then use the intern ip | 01:13 |
| jrib | Chaotic_Descent: ctrl-h | 01:13 |
| declension | i get logon screen with nothing moving anywhere and keyb + mouse inactive.. so no | 01:13 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop no idea, how do I find that out? | 01:13 |
| jrib | Chaotic_Descent: or right click -> show hidden files | 01:13 |
| a_ | jirib it said: | 01:13 |
| a_ | a@a-desktop:~$ run xkill | 01:13 |
| a_ | bash: run: command not found | 01:13 |
| a_ | a@a-desktop:~$ | 01:13 |
| ryanakca | *sigh*, looks like something went wrong and *tex was rm'd instead of *tex~. Anyway to recover them? The partition is ext3... so the aught to be a copy laying around somewhere? | 01:13 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: do you know the intern ip of your xp-box? | 01:14 |
| jrib | a_: just 'xkill', no "run" | 01:14 |
| a_ | ah | 01:14 |
| Chaotic_Descent | jrib: thanks. .... right-click? why did I never find that before? @_@; | 01:14 |
| jrib | !recover | ryanakca | 01:14 |
| ubottu | ryanakca: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 01:14 |
| a_ | noope dint kill it | 01:14 |
| ryanakca | jrib: thanks | 01:14 |
| jrib | ryanakca: but you can probably recover from the *tex~ right? | 01:14 |
| declension | anyone else had the prob?.. cos ive had the same thing with 3 mobos now.. | 01:14 |
| jrib | a_: ps -ef | grep prboom | 01:14 |

| fryguy | mcquaid: linux command line things such as sed and awk can be put together to accomplish your task. Just whip up a quick bash script, or take a look at the 'split' command, which might do what you need | 01:25 |
| Pici | !patience | Coolname007 | 01:25 |
| jrib | Coolname007: you need to ask an actual question instead of spamming the channel | 01:25 |
| ubottu | Coolname007: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:25 |
| bazhang | Coolname007, be patient | 01:25 |

| mcquaid | fryguy, thx | 01:25 |
| fryguy | !version | nootrope | 01:25 |
| ubottu | nootrope: 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> » | 01:25 |
| Coolname007 | jrib, i DID ask an actual question!!! | 01:25 |

| Lancelot | ? | 01:29 |
| Lancelot | I pushed ctrl t | 01:29 |
| fryguy | ashleyw: you can look into setting up a framebuffer console. You can also just remotely administer the machine from somewhere else using ssh, and then use whatever terminal emulator you want that has the color/font support that you want | 01:29 |
| Lancelot | didn't do anything... | 01:30 |
| lavacano201014 | Hmm | 01:30 |

| jigp | jrib : yes virtual machine. how to install virtual machine in ubuntu 8.04 desktop and how to install window xp pro in virtual machine of ubuntu 8.04? I review all the icons and the gnome menu I haven't found any virtual machine icons there... | 01:40 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: no prob | 01:40 |
| Coolname007 | can everyone just have a TIMEOUT for a sec? | 01:40 |
| jrib | l0newolf: tried gthumb? | 01:40 |
| ed___ | jrib: after i type one message in pdigin it crashed | 01:40 |
| khanm78 | kk to highlight a respons / question directed to me | 01:41 |
| jrib | !virtualizers > jigp | 01:41 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop: Doesn't seem to be working. I put it into the windows explorer and it brought up firefox and timed out | 01:41 |
| ubottu | jigp, please see my private message | 01:41 |
| whynot | After downloading the gpcav1-20071224, I typed the command ./gpcav_build, but error message came out. | 01:41 |
| ed___ | jrib: is this something to do with the fix? | 01:41 |
| Coolname007 | i can't think with all the comments FLYING back and forth!!!!!!! | 01:41 |
| fryguy | Coolname007: there are over 1300 people in this channel, that is unlikely | 01:41 |
| l0newolf | jrib: nope, I'm in here asking if there's a similar program for Ubuntu but you're the first to answer. I'll take a look | 01:41 |
| jrib | ed___: haven't seen that. Try running pidgin from a terminal | 01:41 |
| burner | ardchoille: that's like saying if aisleriot were native, you wouldn't need gtk... wine is just the underlying libraries :) | 01:41 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop: I can see it in my network places but It says I don't have permission to access | 01:41 |
| jrib | l0newolf: f-spot is nice too | 01:41 |
| Coolname007 | STOP IT!!!!!!!! | 01:41 |
| whynot | Error: the module is not loaded ...blah blah blah something like that. | 01:41 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: hmm, did you use \\ (doublebackslash)? | 01:41 |
| lavacano201014 | khanm78: And you do the same sort of thing by typing the first few characters of the person's name, then hitting <TAB> (it's the shortcut). Usually a client will add a : or a , at the end | 01:41 |
| khanm78 | burner whats playdeb plz | 01:41 |
| Flare183 | Colonel_Panic: no | 01:41 |
| Flare183 | oops | 01:41 |
| RivitingOne | yeah, I'll try again rq to be sure | 01:42 |
| Flare183 | Coolname007: No | 01:42 |
| jrib | Coolname007: you might want to try the forums or mailing list | 01:42 |
| jrib | !support > Coolname007 | 01:42 |
| ubottu | Coolname007, please see my private message | 01:42 |
| burner | khanm78: use the google mi amigo.... www.playdeb.net | 01:42 |
| Izinucs | I just fresh installed ibex and used my old seperate partiton that contained /home and all my data. I now find that the Applications/Accessories menu is GONE. I've tried editing the menu to see if it was checked, but it's JUST NOT THERE. How do I recover it? | 01:42 |
| lavacano201014 | khanm78: For example, to highlight me, you can just type "lav<TAB>" usually. | 01:42 |
| khanm78 | burner lol kk | 01:42 |
| jigp | jrib : ah yeah I installed already a WINE. is that all?but when I double click the setup.exe in win xp pro cd I cannot proceed to installation.... | 01:42 |
| khanm78 | lavacano201014, ahh | 01:42 |
| jrib | jigp: wine is not a virtualizer. Try virtualbox | 01:42 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: ah ok, did you shared your folder for guest users too? | 01:42 |
| burner | jigp: www.virtualbox.org | 01:42 |
| RivitingOne | boskoopum... | 01:42 |
| musikgoat | Coolname007: the forums are great for slower communications | 01:43 |
| ed___ | jrib: there is no output in the terminal after it crashes :S | 01:43 |
| whynot | Actually, ubuntu(including other linux versions) seems to give me too much freedom to handle. | 01:43 |
| khanm78 | nice collection of games here | 01:43 |
| lavacano201014 | jigp: Now that you have Wine going, just run your .exe file through it, and Ta-Der. | 01:43 |
| jrib | ed___: try with a new user to see if it is a config issue | 01:43 |
| ed___ | jrib: ok | 01:43 |
| jigp | jrib : burner : ok ill download it | 01:43 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat ok i fixed it | 01:43 |
| jrib | jigp: it's in the repositories as virtualbox-ose | 01:43 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: good | 01:43 |
| jigp | lavacano201014 : Ta-Der? | 01:43 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop I don't see guest as an option on the list | 01:43 |
| fryguy | jigp: install it from the ubuntu repositories. apt-cache search virtualbox for the relevant packages | 01:44 |
| whynot | most of people don't know how to handlel their freedom, especially in using computer. | 01:44 |
| lavacano201014 | jigp: It's the *cool* way of saying "ta-da" | 01:44 |
| Izinucs | AH. does anyone else on Ibex have an "Accessories" menu under Applications? Looks like mine moved to "Utilities" | 01:44 |
| jrib | lavacano201014: jigp wants to install windows xp, not just install individual .exe | 01:44 |
| oakmac | I can't get java to work in firefox. What do I need to install to get the GCJ plugin to work? | 01:44 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: how did you created your share? | 01:44 |
| fryguy | oakmac: is java listed in about:plugins? | 01:44 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat Kinda hard to move them when the dont have a drag bar | 01:44 |
| lavacano201014 | jrib: I used to dualboot. Stopped when I had multiple machines. | 01:44 |
| jrib | oakmac: gcjwebplugin | 01:44 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: alt+mouse works as well :-) | 01:44 |
| jrib | lavacano201014: I meant jigp wanted to install win xp in a virtual machine | 01:45 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: i have accesories... | 01:45 |
| oakmac | thanks jrib; that's installing now - hopefully should work | 01:45 |
| musikgoat | so do i Izinucs | 01:45 |
| === paulj1 is now known as pauljw | ||
| BitWraith | I see that ubuntu CAN be installed over USB... does the computer that prepares the USB drive have to have the same architecture as the one that will be booting for the install? | 01:45 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop: one of the many sites said to type in shares-admin to bring up shared folders, you unlock it, go to users and select the ones you want with a check in the box next to the name | 01:45 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat ima on a touchpad right now so it would be kinda akward | 01:45 |
| jarco | how can i get access to my ecrypted map in 8.10 . Hw can is et properties for it | 01:45 |
| Izinucs | tripitakit: weird.. I just did a fresh install and used my old home.. Accessories is gone and everything that was there is now under "Utilities" | 01:45 |
| musikgoat | TwicheyUL: i can understand | 01:45 |
| RivitingOne | boskoo: but guest isn't on that list | 01:45 |
| lavacano201014 | jrib: Does he have enough RAM to handle it OK? I have a gig in my fastest machine, and everything other than VirtualBox tends to gag a lil' | 01:45 |
| burner | oakmac: you might want to check out sun's java... which is part of "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which installs all kinds of goodies | 01:45 |
| Coolname007 | this SUCKS!!!!!!!! | 01:45 |
| Izinucs | musikgoat: ^--^ | 01:46 |
| tripitakit | BitWraith: u need the iso so dont think u need the same arch | 01:46 |
| jrib | burner: I forgot about you. Did you sort out the appletouch issue? | 01:46 |
| musikgoat | Izinucs: i did an upgrade, so maybe thats whats different | 01:46 |
| jrib | lavacano201014: ask jigp :) | 01:46 |
| BitWraith | ok, thanks | 01:46 |
| whynot | Guess what? Last night, I tried kernel building that was totally unnecessary for me. It took more than 4 hours on my celeron 1Ghz machine. I stopped it to restore my default kernel. | 01:46 |
| musikgoat | Izinucs: but i haven't heard of that | 01:46 |
| Coolname007 | 1359 users in the same channel is KIND of lame!!!!!!!! | 01:46 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: i did a clean install .. | 01:46 |
| Izinucs | musikgoat: I did a fresh install but used my old /home.. tripitakit | 01:46 |
| jrib | Coolname007: please don't be disruptive | 01:46 |
| burner | jrib: i didn't... and I don't feel bad... i'm able for the most part ;) http://burner.ath.cx:800/trackpad-mac.fdi.txt is my fdi though if you care to take a gander | 01:46 |
| arisv | hello people. any ideas on this? http://pastebin.com/m317507f0 (after hours googling..) | 01:46 |
| Coolname007 | *flying comments back and forth* | 01:46 |
| lavacano201014 | jigp: Incidentally, how much RAM do you have? | 01:46 |
| fryguy | whynot: you were almost certainly building more than just a kernel. A kernel compile on a 1ghz machine should take less than an hour | 01:46 |
| BitWraith | I am trying to install to a PS3, but I don't have any blank CDs or DVDs handy, so I'll have to wrestle with a stick instead | 01:46 |
| bazhang | Coolname007, use the ubuntuforums then | 01:46 |
| jrib | burner: let me grab my macbook, it will make this easier | 01:46 |
| linguini | Is there an easy way to up the verbosity in /var/log/syslog ? | 01:47 |
| musikgoat | Coolname007: everyone else seems to cope just fine | 01:47 |
| jarco | how can i get access to my ecrypted map in 8.10 . Hw can is et properties for it | 01:47 |
| Coolname007 | how am i supposed to get my question across then, jrib? | 01:47 |
| fryguy | Coolname007: you ask it. like everyone else | 01:47 |
| arisv | anybody? | 01:47 |
| burner | jrib: thanks much... I've got everything else dialed in on this | 01:47 |
| oakmac | "An error occurred while loading this applet." linux problem? It's TDAmeritrade's site so I trust that their applet is correct (I use it on windows all the time) | 01:47 |
| whynot | fryguy/ I think so. I was afraid of what I was doing, because I didn't know what I was doing. | 01:47 |
| jrib | Coolname007: I told you that you needed to ask a better question that explains your exact issue in details on a single line. You never did | 01:47 |
| l0newolf | jrib: can't find similar functionality of cropping, I can use other programs but Irfanview has a very simple method for it. | 01:47 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: i see, have no idea, could be right as happend to you in your case, cant u move it to the usal place= | 01:47 |
| LastTango | ok, so I have my /home on a separate partition from the other stuff, so when I do a clean install on the / partition, how do I get it to use my preexisting /home partition? | 01:47 |
| fryguy | whynot: there are very few reasons to compile your own kernel as a normal user. What were you trying to accomplish | 01:48 |
| burner | oakmac: try the Sun Java... gcj is cool and open... but not always compatible | 01:48 |
| jrib | burner: I see why I forgot about you now. Your link is timing out on me | 01:48 |
| Coolname007 | yes...jrib! i DID!!!!!!! | 01:48 |
| Coolname007 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^ | 01:48 |
| pd4 | I have just installed Ubuntu and I have a GeForce 2Ti nvidia card, my computer is acknowledging it I can't find the right driver in Hardware Drivers. Can anyone help? | 01:48 |
| Coolname007 | just take a look! | 01:48 |
| Izinucs | tripitakit: It won't let me rename it.. Also on my logout button the only options I have are "Log Out" and "Switch User".. Is this a new menu? | 01:48 |
| thiebaude | oakmac:you might need the java firefox plugin in synaptic | 01:48 |
| ethana2 | Anyone here using OO.o 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10, and if so, how? | 01:48 |
| tripitakit | LastTango: i suppose u just mount it under you home dir | 01:48 |
| oakmac | What are the packages I need to install the Sun Java plugin? | 01:48 |
| burner | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d4b23a758 | 01:48 |
| whynot | fryguy/ The only reason I tried to kernel compling was...I thought it might load the webcam driver. | 01:49 |
| fryguy | Coolname007: you have no asked a question in the past 20 minutes | 01:49 |
| ethana2 | I prefer to stick to apt, they have a PPA, but when I add it all the packages are held back | 01:49 |
| ethana2 | whynot: uvcvideo? | 01:49 |
| whynot | 3com webcam lite | 01:49 |
| * burner remembers he's downloading a torrent and apache is probably dying trying to serve up a simple text file | 01:49 | |
| jrib | burner: <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">0</merge> try changing 0 to 1 | 01:49 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: the logout menu has changed but there are other options in mine | 01:49 |
| ethana2 | whynot: I'm just waiting for the working webcam stuff to show up in normal updates | 01:49 |
| musikgoat | oakmac: sun-java6-plugin | 01:49 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: try sharing your folder by right-clicking in nautilus on the folder and selecting "sharing options" | 01:49 |
| ethana2 | I kept 8.04 aroudn in the mean time | 01:49 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: there you can select guest access | 01:50 |
| jrib | burner: I'll grab my macbook if that doesn't work | 01:50 |
| oakmac | that package is not available | 01:50 |
| thiebaude | thanks, musikgoat i didn't know the exact name | 01:50 |
| musikgoat | thiebaude: np | 01:50 |
| burner | jrib: i changed it to a 1, restarted hal via sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart, and still no single finger tap-click | 01:50 |
| Izinucs | tripitakit: looking in the Add to Panel screen there is a "Shut Down" appelate. weird | 01:50 |
| whynot | Actually, my ubuntu recognize 3com webcam. Checking lsusb showed me that my machine recognize 3com webcam. but It didn't work well in Ekiga | 01:50 |
| burner | jrib: sure it works for you even? another friend of mine has a macbook with the same issue | 01:50 |
| ethana2 | whynot: the drivers are broken | 01:50 |
| ethana2 | whynot: but a fix is on the way, it should update within a few days | 01:51 |
| jrib | burner: we'll find out in a sec | 01:51 |
| ethana2 | how violent | 01:51 |
| whynot | ok, that sounds great | 01:51 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: cant help on that i'm using the italian localization of intrpid | 01:51 |
| Bit_Breaker | ok help!! | 01:51 |
| Bit_Breaker | hi all | 01:52 |
| Pici | !ask | Bit_Breaker | 01:52 |
| ubottu | Bit_Breaker: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:52 |
| tripitakit | Bit_Breaker: dont panic :P | 01:52 |

| droids | i've just started getting an error on startup saying that my $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored, and that i should make sure that i own it and set the permissions to 644. | 01:52 |
| musikgoat | oakmac: hmm you may have to install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:52 |
| droids | i checked the permissions and owner and everything is as it should be. | 01:52 |
| droids | any suggestions? | 01:52 |
| fryguy | droids: and did you follow those 2 recommendations? | 01:52 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: so they are there, fine | 01:52 |
| jrib | droids: just rename the file | 01:52 |
| droids | fryguy: indeed i did. | 01:52 |
| fryguy | droids: what about your home directory? is it owned by you as well? | 01:52 |
| Izinucs | tripitakit: weird that it wasn't installed that way to begin with.. | 01:52 |
| tripitakit | Izinucs: i agree | 01:53 |
| oakmac | thanks musikgoat; doing that now | 01:53 |
| fryguy | droids: what happens if you delete the file and restart X11? | 01:53 |
| thiebaude | oakmac: https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html, i hope that works | 01:53 |
| Bit_Breaker | ok i have a dell 4600 that i want to install ubuntu on. if possible i want it to be the same image as my laptop Compaq F572 | 01:53 |
| droids | fryguy: is that really a wise move? | 01:53 |
| arisv | hello people. any ideas on this? http://pastebin.com/m317507f0 (after hours googling..) | 01:53 |
| fryguy | droids: there's nothing important in the file, it can be deleted without issue | 01:53 |
| Bit_Breaker | the only issue is i have to do an install over mu local network | 01:53 |
| droids | fryguy: yeah, my home folder is owned by me as well, by the way. | 01:53 |
| burner | Bit_Breaker: just install it normally, then copy your home directory over | 01:53 |
| fryguy | droids: if you insist, move it out of the way and restart X | 01:53 |
| tripitakit | Bit u can look for a cloning tool... | 01:53 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop ok I did that and created the share. Still nothing when I input ip and folder and still gives permission issues when I click on the network folder. Think I should try removing the share stuff I put in with the shares-admin thing? | 01:54 |
| Raphael_DM | Hi | 01:54 |

| `r0ot | i need to know how i get hardy Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 01:57 |
| burner | Raphael_DM: refit installs pretty easily and it's a gui that gives you a choice between and apple or a penguin... choose then penguin, then it loads grub... the wiki page is great though :) | 01:57 |
| pac1 | Right now i have network manager uninstalled and I'm manually doing sudo dhclient eth0 at each login. I'd like to get network manager configured for my lan. Where should I start. | 01:57 |

| droids | jrib: you suggested renaming my .dmrc file - to what? | 02:00 |
| tripitakit | Cmclean: it worked perfectly for me | 02:00 |
| pac1 | whynot. yeah and its borked. | 02:00 |
| jrib | droids: anything | 02:00 |
| burner | Bit_Breaker: yeah... and Cmclean, the usb installer worked 3 times already for me | 02:00 |
| fryguy | jrib: he already removed his .dmrc file | 02:00 |
| burner | DarkTan: both | 02:00 |
| Bit_Breaker | burner: i need over a LAN btw, and i have only the dell and my Compaq Laptop | 02:00 |
| tripitakit | pac1: try with wicd | 02:00 |
| obf213 | hmm. so how are we supposed to login to an ssh session if our internets is not connected? | 02:00 |
| whynot | pac1/network configuration --> wired --> click your eth0 --> edit | 02:00 |
| droids | fryguy: i replaced it now, but the problem persisted when i deleted it. | 02:01 |
| DarkTan | burner: maybe you can help me then, i can't get it to log in over the net | 02:01 |
| burner | Bit_Breaker: i'm stumped... it's tough without a display | 02:01 |
| burner | DarkTan: forward port 5900 to your PC | 02:01 |
| Cmclean | Umm If I set up a LAMP server on ubuntu 8.10 Desktop... will it interfere with normal everyday use of it??? | 02:01 |
| fryguy | droids: right, i'm informing jrib of that so he doesn't waste time walking you through something that was already suggested. trying to save everyone a bit of time | 02:01 |
| burner | Cmclean: it will use a bit more ram, but that's about it | 02:01 |
| DarkTan | well, i have it set to DMZ cause my Embark router sucks | 02:01 |
| try2free | how do i find manual about how to customize paper size printer? | 02:01 |

| Cmclean | burner: well I only use like youtube facebook and x chat at most at the same time so??????? | 02:02 |
| jrib | droids: rename it/delete it and reboot. Thanks fryguy | 02:02 |
| aib | fryguy, i was able to VNC into a server but my DISPLAY variable appears to be set up incorrectly. any idea what i should set it to? i tried 0 and 5 | 02:02 |
| burner | DarkTan: and if you do a port scan, is 5900 responding? is linux the client or server? why not just use vino + vinagre? | 02:02 |
| Cmclean | lol wargasm | 02:02 |
| fryguy | aib: what? why are you asking me? | 02:02 |
| DarkTan | burner: linux is the server, windows the client | 02:02 |
| burner | Cmclean: it's easy to uninstall a lamp server if you're not diggin it | 02:02 |
| linuxhelp_de | need help with Grafic card problem of a thinkpad x30 intel 82830 | 02:02 |
| jrib | droids: if that still doesn't work then you check permissions on /, /home, and ~ | 02:02 |
| anyo | tripitakit: i ont have a cam. | 02:02 |
| DarkTan | how do i port scan? i forgot | 02:02 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: still here? | 02:02 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop Still not letting me in... This is what I did. Right clicked on the folder, went to properties, went to the share tab and selected share this folder and gave it a share name and also checked guest access. There is also a permissions tab here and one of the fields is labled groups and one of the names on the list is sambashare. It is set to create and delete on folder access and it is unselected in the file access field. Options there are NONE | 02:02 |
| fryguy | DarkTan: nmap is a tool that will do port scans | 02:03 |
| aib | you seem to know about X11 | 02:03 |
| aib | it's a simple question: what should my DISPLAY be set to? | 02:03 |
| Bit_Breaker | burner;cmclean eh? | 02:03 |
| fryguy | aib: i don't really know anything | 02:03 |
| Cmclean | yes? | 02:03 |
| burner | DarkTan: and it works locally, and it's the DMZ, and you're using your external IP to connect? | 02:03 |
| tripitakit | any sorry i misred your quiestion | 02:03 |
| tripitakit | :) | 02:03 |
| Cmclean | Bit_Breaker: yes? | 02:03 |

| anyo | hmm | 02:08 |
| burner | Cmclean: super super easy... two commands... "sudo tasksel lamp-server" "gksudo gedit /var/www/index.html" | 02:08 |
| freeatlast | bastid_raZor: So if I use that command -h n - It would shutdown sooner ? | 02:08 |
| fryguy | Bit_Breaker: you need some sort of physical interface with the machine to install it. 2 primary choices are keyboard/mouse/monitor, or a serial console. As far as I know there are no unattended installation options available for ubuntu | 02:08 |
| RivitingOne | boskoop still reading | 02:08 |
| Cmclean | burner: so that will install and dl EVERYTHING? | 02:09 |
| ardchoille | freeatlast: sudo shutdown -h now <-- shuts down now | 02:09 |
| pac1 | whynot. sure that's what the router does when I run dhclient on my linux box. | 02:09 |
| boskoop | RivitingOne: np, take your time, was just playing around ;) | 02:09 |
| nibsa1242b | where does pidgin store its user files? they don't seem to be in ~/.pidgin | 02:09 |
| bastid_raZor | freeatlast; no, you would set a timeframe.. -h 01:00 would be in 1 hour | 02:09 |

| freeatlast | ardchoille: THanks so much - that is the command I could not remember - Cool. | 02:09 |

| pac1 | network manager, as installed in 8.10, won't even talk to the ethernet. | 02:10 |
| fryguy | whynot: it does other things than assign IPs. I've got a couple of clients in my network that it doesn't assign an IP for. It's usage is sort of a hack though. | 02:10 |
| freeatlast | bastid_raZor: yup - got it - thanks | 02:10 |
| bastid_raZor | freeatlast; for nearly all CLI commands there are man pages .. you could read up on some commands with 'man command' ex. man shutdown | 02:11 |
| droids | fryguy: i found a thread about it on the forums, and i'm trying to change the permissions on my home folder with sudo chmod -R 700, and it's saying that permission is denied to the .gvfs directory in my home. | 02:11 |
| ryanakca | How can one see what packages have beed added onto the default install? | 02:11 |
| fryguy | droids: .gvfs contains mounts to other locations, you've likely made a smb/nfs/ssh connection to a remote filesystem | 02:11 |
| fryguy | droids: 700 is also almost certainly not the permissions you want, as you'll likely run into problems with permissions that are that strict | 02:11 |
| ed1 | hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound | 02:12 |
| droids | should i use 644 instead? | 02:12 |
| mneptok | droids: what are you trying to do? | 02:12 |
| asparatu | why does this happen, when i update my kernel, my wire card drives stop working and i have to recompile them and reinstall them? | 02:13 |
| droids | fix a .dmrc error | 02:13 |
| whynot | fryguy&pac1/ok I got it. I'm helpful for pac1. Frankly, I had no problem with the internet. wire and wireless both. | 02:13 |
| mneptok | droids: what error? | 02:13 |
| Bit_Breaker | fryguy: how would i install with a keyboard | 02:13 |
| fryguy | asparatu: when you compile a driver, it only works for a specific kernel. when you update that kernel, you know longer have that specific kernel, so you need to update the driver as well | 02:13 |
| koops | has intrepid done the first update on xserver drivers already? | 02:13 |
| bastid_raZor | asparatu; any thing you've had to self compile will need to be recompiled when a new kernel is in use. | 02:13 |
| jrib | droids: I hope you did not run that chmod command | 02:13 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat Ok driver is up but now i cant connect to router | 02:13 |
| ed1 | hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound | 02:13 |
| fryguy | Bit_Breaker: i explained to you what you need to install | 02:13 |
| freeatlast | bastid_raZor: I just saw your other post of setting a time - so if you were doing a download or something - and wanted your computer to shutdown later on - this would be the command to use - So if it were in the evening or night time would you need to use military time or example 2:30 pm would be 14:30 - is this correct ? ? | 02:13 |
| droids | jrib: which? | 02:13 |
| jrib | droids: chmod -R 700 | 02:14 |
| TwicheyUL | I put in the ssid, and mac address | 02:14 |
| whynot | fryguy&pac1/ Typo. I'm helpful for pac1. --------> I'm not helpful. | 02:14 |
| droids | like i said, it gave me an error. | 02:14 |
| mneptok | droids: what error? | 02:14 |
| mneptok | (dmrc) | 02:14 |
| jrib | droids: you should ask BEFORE you run commands you don't understand | 02:14 |
| TwicheyUL | musikgoat i put in the ssid and mac address | 02:14 |
| asparatu | ok thank you.. is there a way to make so i do not have to do that every time? | 02:14 |
| pac1 | whynot. whynot? | 02:14 |
| TwicheyUL | and it wont find the router | 02:14 |
| fryguy | asparatu: how often are you updating a kernel that this is a concern to you? | 02:14 |
| ed1 | hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound | 02:14 |

| asparatu | fryguy: When there is a new update i do.. | 02:15 |
| droids | jrib: wouldn't it set the permissions to give user full permissions, but no permissions to anyone else? | 02:15 |
| Bit_Breaker | gain | 02:15 |
| bastid_raZor | freeatlast; read the manpage. it is only a 1 page.. it tells all about the options for shutdown .. apparently "-h is to halt the system after it has been brought down" | 02:15 |
| jrib | droids: that's not the whole story | 02:15 |
| mneptok | droids: it would set the executable bit on *every file* | 02:15 |
| Bit_Breaker | fryguy: i missed what u said | 02:15 |
| fryguy | Bit_Breaker: you need some sort of physical interface with the machine to install it. 2 primary choices are keyboard/mouse/monitor, or a serial console. As far as I know there are no unattended installation options available for ubuntu | 02:16 |

| russ | m0u5e: what is iscrean? | 02:19 |
| [biabia] | help! how do i set the default run level in ubuntu to be 3 instead of 5(gui) | 02:20 |
| whynot | yeah, it just worked. not wireless but wire. You should do something to use wireless internet. | 02:20 |
| droids | mneptok: i DID paste your command, and it told me that. | 02:20 |
| droids | permission denied to /home/nick/.gvfs | 02:20 |
| mneptok | droids: then you did not type the administrator password correctly | 02:20 |
| shaozuozhen | droids:sudo? | 02:20 |
| fryguy | mneptok: gvfs contains external mounts. some external mounts squash root permissions | 02:20 |
| linguini | stdin: Do you mean, look in those directories and try and predict what init will do? | 02:20 |
| droids | shaozuozhen: i am using sudo | 02:21 |
| mneptok | fryguy: nothing should be mounted by default | 02:21 |
| fryguy | (nfs, notably, i believe gvfs defaults to this behavior for all external mount metadata) | 02:21 |
| Bit_Breaker | here all http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install | 02:21 |
| m0u5e | russ: sorry i meant muti-screen* support | 02:21 |
| droids | it actually did take permissions away from all of my applications. | 02:21 |
| stdin | linguini: not exactly, look in those directories because that's what init runs | 02:21 |
| droids | so is there a way to go about fixing this, or am i damned to reinstall? | 02:21 |

| fryguy | mneptok: I don't think he just installed ubuntu from scratch and hasn't done anything with it. It seems like he's been using the system for a while. The "default" for mounts isn't really applicable in that case. | 02:22 |
| whynot | pac1&fryguy/when I checked youtube, I found out a linux guy explaining how to install wireless internet with ndiswrapper. but it was a bit difficult because he is using terminal and command line. but there is much easier way in ubuntu. Windows wireless drivers. | 02:22 |

| fryguy | LoveGuru: chown and chmod are used to change owners and permissions on a file | 02:24 |
| droids | jrib: it looks like the chmod command actually did apply to my home folder for 700. is there anything that i can do, or am i doomed to reinstall? | 02:24 |
| RivitingOne | Could the inability to connect to a ubuntu machine on my lan be cause by the file system type not being recognized by windows xp? | 02:25 |
| LoveGuru | fryguy: i tried but i didn't worked | 02:25 |
| fryguy | droids: you certainly don't have to reinstall | 02:25 |
| LoveGuru | i try to did with sudo | 02:25 |

| fryguy | !work | LoveGuru | 02:25 |
| jrib | droids: mneptok's command will do the best you can do, just exclude ~/.gvfs | 02:25 |
| ubottu | LoveGuru: 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. | 02:25 |

| droids | jrib: what's the flag for exclusion on chmod and chown? | 02:26 |
| musikgoat | i like that factiod, kind of snippy :-) | 02:26 |
| stdin | linguini: the ones starting with S get called with "(script) start" and the ones starting with K get called with "(script) stop" | 02:26 |
| linguini | /etc/rcS.d/K* stop && /etc/rcS.d/S* start && /etc/rc2.d/K* stop && /etc/rc2.d/S* ? | 02:26 |
| linguini | I.e. do all the "S" scripts go before the "2" scripts in a typical boot? | 02:26 |
| fryguy | droids: you can use find to identify files in your home directory, and do exclusions with that. omit the -R flag from chmod and chown in this case. see the manpage for find for exact syntax of how to ignore certain files and directories | 02:26 |
| jrib | droids: I don't know an easy way to do it in bash, you'd have to use find | 02:26 |
| bastid_raZor | BeeBuu; System>Administration>Synaptic then search for linux-ubuntu-modules | 02:26 |
| linguini | I.e. runlevel goes from "S" to "2" ? | 02:27 |
| LoveGuru | fryguy: it gave me error in return. "chmod: changing permissions of 'package.tar.gz': Read-online file system | 02:27 |
| linguini | stdin: /etc/rc2.d/*NetworkManager* does not exist on my system. | 02:27 |
| fryguy | LoveGuru: so copy the file to a filesystem that isn't read only, and do it again | 02:27 |
| jrib | fryguy: zsh wins in situations like these :) | 02:27 |
| RivitingOne | bastid_raZor: I'm just trying with samba shareing on the ubuntu system and the regular network utility stuff on windows. I can get to the windows system with the ubuntu box just fine but I keep getting permission issues when I try to go the other way. | 02:27 |
| zenarchist | Hi. I'm trying to install 8.04 ubuntu alternative cd, and I keep getting an error with libc6 | 02:27 |

| atarinox | Any idea why when I installed XMMS2 from the repos it didnt show up in my Applications menu? Is there no GUI frontend by default? | 02:27 |

| Cmclean | can someone run me through setting up a LAMP server? | 02:27 |
| linguini | I do have /etc/rcS.d/S40networking | 02:27 |
| fryguy | !lamp | Cmclean | 02:27 |
| ubottu | Cmclean: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:28 |
| droids | jrib / fryguy: how would i use find to do this? | 02:28 |
| Falstius | RivitingOne: you probably need to run smbpasswd (from the termainl) | 02:28 |
| stdin | linguini: do you have the network-manager package installed? | 02:28 |
| LoveGuru | fryguy: thanks let me try | 02:28 |
| fryguy | droids: like i said, you'll have to read the manpage, i don't have the linux syntax for it memorized, and I think it's different in BSD (the only manpage for it i have access to right now) | 02:28 |
| linguini | I must, because it takes over during boot. I'll double check using aptitude. | 02:28 |
| jamesish | Hey folks; I heard that /etc/network/interfaces is deprecated in Ibex. Is that true? | 02:28 |
| LoveGuru | fryguy: thankyou sir it working now :) | 02:29 |
| fryguy | droids: if you don't have anything important in your home directory, you can just delete your user and create a new one (and if you do have things that are important, just back them up and/or copy them to the new users directory) | 02:29 |
| zenarchist | debootstrap hangs on Installing core system, and from the logs it says that A non-dpkg owned copy of the libc6-i686 library was found... then dpkg had an error processing var/cache/apt/archies/libc6... | 02:29 |
| fryguy | droids: it's a reasonable option if you feel like you messed up permissions that badly | 02:29 |
| Cmclean | fryguy: was there some LAMP in 10 min thing? | 02:29 |
| fryguy | Cmclean: no idea. | 02:29 |
| Falstius | RivitingOne: at a command line, sudo smbpasswd -a <username. | 02:30 |
| RivitingOne | I did that and set a password up. But what is that for? I never get a prompt anywhere asking me for it. It just says xavier-desktop is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact system admin... The network path was not found. | 02:30 |

| BeeBuu | bastid_raZor: same | 02:31 |
| droids | fryguy: i think i did. it's not even letting me open my home folder in the file browser. | 02:31 |
| Falstius | RivitingOne: that's what I usually do. It needs to be a user who has permissions on the folder you are sharing. | 02:31 |
| stdin | linguini: I think in hardy network-manager was started by dbus | 02:31 |
| droids | fryguy: in fact, it's not letting me do anything. | 02:31 |

| BeeBuu | bastid_raZor: i want to setup drbd8,and in 8.04 it need the linux-ubuntu-modules | 02:32 |
| musikgoat | linguini: does /etc/init.d/NetworkManager exist? | 02:32 |
| FatherTyme | Saw xserver-xgl is not installed, attempted to install and it has no version information in the repo. | 02:33 |
| linguini | No | 02:33 |
| bastid_raZor | BeeBuu; if you attempt to install a package it will install all the dependencies needed. | 02:33 |
| Falstius | And you enbaled sharing on a folder right? | 02:33 |
| linguini | musikgoat: No | 02:33 |
| FatherTyme | Is the package broken? | 02:33 |
| bastid_raZor | BeeBuu; through apt-get or syntaptic | 02:33 |

| droids | fryguy: it will not let me use my menues to add a user because it can't access my home folder. how can i add a user through bash? | 02:34 |
| stdin | linguini: have a look at /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager and /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher, both should get called with "start" when dbus starts and "stop" when dbus stops | 02:34 |

| mkartic | hey guys, can you suggest me some good guide/tut for desktop customization? | 02:34 |
| Falstius | RivitingOne: you enabled sharing on a folder, right? For me it has always just asked for a password then and worked. | 02:34 |
| RivitingOne | yeah, both by right clicking it and also going to terminal and typeing shares-admin and setting it there. And I have tried doing it in one place and not in the other too see if it somehow comflicted | 02:34 |
| ed1 | hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound | 02:34 |
| fryguy | droids: you'll want to make sure he's a member of the admin group as well, otherwise you won't be able to sudo (make sure this works before you delete your current user, otherwise you will lose root access to the machine, and I really don't want to walk you through how to fix that) | 02:34 |

| fryguy | mkartic: what do you want to customize? | 02:35 |
| Falstius | RivitingOne: if you do it from the command line, you might need to restart the smb service (sudo /etc/init.d/smb restart) | 02:35 |

| droids | so just sudo adduser nick2 nick2 to revert to what it should be? | 02:36 |
| Dulak | fryguy: that simply adds the user to the gorup doesn't change the default group | 02:36 |
| droids | if nick2 is my user name? | 02:36 |

| bazhang | droids, use sudo not su | 02:40 |
| RivitingOne | Falstius: is there a way to reset? | 02:41 |

| Dulak | juac: don't use root group for anything unless absolutely necessary and even then, there are ways around it | 02:44 |
| droids | fryguy: i'm root at the moment. | 02:44 |
| teratoma_ | ok one more try: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall cups | 02:44 |
| mars__ | donald, did that 3 times | 02:44 |
| droids | fryguy: by accident, really, but i'm still root. | 02:44 |
| codemaxz | AC97 website? | 02:45 |
| fryguy | droids: it will have the same effect as sudoing (you will fail at .gvfs) | 02:45 |
| teratoma_ | kansan: that command will reinstall all files that came with the package cups | 02:45 |
| nibsa1242b | fryguy: so did hardy, but there still seemed to be some alsa stuff at the core | 02:45 |
| donald | Mars/Are you able to connect to the internet wired? | 02:45 |
| codemaxz | most hardware issue are kern mod related | 02:45 |
| droids | fryguy: any way to change back to nick instead of root without using exit? exit will close the terminal, and i don't have menu permissions to reopen it. | 02:45 |
| juac | Dulak: what about "admin" group? it hasn't got any members at least on fresh ubuntu server install | 02:45 |
| teratoma_ | there are packages: cups cups-client cups-common . i actually do not know which package has your config files in it | 02:45 |
| mars__ | i installed virtualbox | 02:45 |
| fryguy | nibsa1242b: right, pulseaudio acts as a layer on top of kernel level stuff, which is alsa | 02:45 |
| mars__ | that's the only thing i did... | 02:45 |
| fryguy | droids: exit will not close the terminal | 02:45 |
| donald | Mars/Uh oh. Virtualbox. | 02:45 |
| Dulak | juac: admin is for sudo access, make a new group unless you want to give these users access to sudo | 02:46 |
| droids | fryguy: oh, right. | 02:46 |
| eydaimon | The sound is very soft, and the volume has been maxxed out. Any ideas anyone? | 02:46 |

| nibsa1242b | fryguy: right, and my kernel level stuff... the alsa module for my soundcard is not installed... and I'm trying to figure out which package it would be in | 02:46 |
| juac | Dulak: ahh i see, thx new group then | 02:46 |
| fryguy | droids: a terminal will close when the process that is running in it (your original bash), exits. you aren't closing the original bash, so the terminal will not close | 02:46 |

| Dulak | droids: just "sudo -i" to get a root shell to fix what you need to fix | 02:48 |
| linguini | Falstius: Thanks; I don't seem to have /sbin/chkconfig, but I'll look around. Do you also usually disable dhcdbd and avahi-daemon? | 02:48 |
| m4cdaddy | Hi, i have an NVidia Legacy card, and usually the xorg driver is installed, but the screen resolution doesn't go above 800x600. The Driver doesn't work, what should i do? | 02:48 |
| nibsa1242b | what package contains alsa kernel modules (such as snd-xxxxxxxxxx) my module for my sound card seems to be missing | 02:49 |
| droids | Dulak: i've just been told not to do anything as root. | 02:49 |
| uman | Anyone know if you can install dot net in wine somenow? ive tried but have gotten errors . thanks | 02:49 |
| fryguy | uman: you might want to check out mono, a project that is working on porting .net to *nix | 02:49 |
| Dulak | droids: you shouldn't make a habit of it but for a quick fix like what you aretrying to do it is fine | 02:49 |

| m4cdaddy | Hi, i have an NVidia Legacy card, and usually the xorg driver is installed, but the screen resolution doesn't go above 800x600. The Driver doesn't work, what should i do? | 02:49 |
| coppro | yes | 02:49 |
| coppro | your card could have stopped working | 02:50 |
| Dulak | droids: the main thing about root is people start doing everything as root, which is bad, so don't do that | 02:50 |
| bazhang | mars__, how are you connected now | 02:50 |
| mars__ | anotyher pc | 02:50 |
| droids | cp is bash copy command, right? | 02:50 |
| bazhang | mars__, shut down vbox | 02:50 |
| LoveGuru | What is the location of the Directory of C header files that match your running kernel.? | 02:50 |
| fryguy | droids: by default it is, most *nix distributions will have an actual executable file in /bin though as well | 02:50 |
| mars__ | bazhang, i did... | 02:50 |
| linguini | :-( Now I read: | 02:50 |
| Falstius | linguini: you can and should disable anything you aren't using on a server. you can use the services gui from system->administration instead of chkconfig. I'm just old school. | 02:50 |
| mars__ | i rebooted 5 times now | 02:51 |
| fryguy | droids: you can use the one in /bin by specifying /bin/cp instead of just cp | 02:51 |
| high-freq | is there a command line to determine what version is installed | 02:51 |
| mars__ | i'm going to see if it works on windows just to make sure its not the actual wireless casrd | 02:51 |
| fryguy | !version | high-freq | 02:51 |
| ubottu | high-freq: 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> » | 02:51 |
| bazhang | mars__, paste.ubuntu.com the output of ifconfig and lscpi | 02:51 |
| bastid_raZor | uman; also if you're not getting the answers here try #winehq .. not that fryguy is wrong but they may have exact answers | 02:51 |
| ed1 | Can anyone solve my sound problem with my audigy 2 card? I have read through a million forums and none seem to solve my problem. Digital output is disabled | 02:51 |
| high-freq | thx | 02:51 |

| mars__ | bazhang, cant paste it...but ifconfig shows only lo and eth0 | 02:51 |
| mars__ | l0 | 02:51 |
| bazhang | mars__, what chipset for the card | 02:52 |
| mars__ | mmm, let me check | 02:52 |

| fryguy | ed1: what is it that you want to actually do? | 02:52 |
| freeatlast | Installing Wine - Using Hardy Heron still - is it best just to install the version of of Wine that I found in Synaptics ? | 02:53 |
| mars__ | wireless works in windows so its not the card | 02:53 |
| linguini | Unfortunately, I didn't setup this machine; a friend did; I'll have to undo some of it I see... | 02:53 |
| fryguy | freeatlast: yes | 02:53 |
| Falstius | linguini: then sudo /sbin/chkconfig NetworkManager off | 02:53 |
| bastid_raZor | mars__; did you by chance install a new kernel? when i tried to install vbox-2.0 it wanted to install a new kernel ... -virtual | 02:53 |
| Falstius | linguini: and sudo /sbin/chkconfig network on | 02:53 |
| mars__ | bastid_raZor, no...just installedsome modules... | 02:53 |
| Falstius | linguini: ack! sorry. I'm thinking in redhat mode :) | 02:54 |
| * Falstius wasn't paying attention to the room name. | 02:54 | |
| droids | fryguy: would i use the -r option to move whole directories. oh, and if i copy stuff over, won't it still have the same permissions as before? | 02:55 |
| linguini | Falstius: Does "network service" what I should be looking for in ubuntu? | 02:55 |

| nibsa1242b | does Ibex use kernel modules of the form module snd-xxxxxx ? | 02:56 |
| Falstius | linguini: in ubuntu it is /etc/init.d/networking there is a command line tool for adding and removing services in debian/ubuntu but I never remember the name. | 02:56 |
| alexserver | hi there | 02:56 |
| nibsa1242b | whynot I've noticed that my unboard AC-97 sound from nVidia also does not run ( driver doesn't exist ) in Ibex | 02:56 |
| freeatlast | fryguy: thanks - Do I need to have the Authentication key file in " Software Sources/Trusted Software Providers " befor installing Wine? | 02:57 |
| nibsa1242b | whynot: I think there are some sound regression issues in Ibex | 02:57 |
| bazhang | mars__, what is the chipset | 02:57 |
| fryguy | freeatlast: no idea | 02:57 |
| alexserver | hi, is here anybody who can help me with an anoying bug ? | 02:57 |
| whynot | ed1/I've just read that one of local ubuntu user is complaining ubuntu 8.04 could but 8.10 cannot run audigy 2. It's not your problem but ubuntu its own problem. | 02:57 |
| fryguy | !ask | alexserver | 02:57 |
| ubottu | alexserver: 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. :-) | 02:57 |
| linguini | Falstius: Oh, good thanks; I think there is already a symlink for networking in /etc/rcS.d/S40networking . I'll probably just use apt-stuff to completely remove NetworkManager. | 02:57 |
| Falstius | you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces to define your netwok card and ip address. You can check that man page (man interfaces) for the syntax. | 02:57 |
| mars__ | lol...sorry forgott to check that...ooting ubuntu...give me a sec | 02:58 |

| m4cdaddy | My xserver is installed and driver is installed i still cant go above 800x600 | 03:19 |
| fryguy | droids: sure | 03:19 |
| fryguy | Andrew3: put the both into the same group, and modify the second octet of permissions, or modify the 3rd octet of permissions, which will give everybody permissions | 03:19 |

| nibsa1242b | root_demon: I know its separate, but is it something I should have? | 03:24 |
| fryguy | droids: log in as the user and type "id" and make sure that under groups you are in admin. better yet, just try to sudo a command while you are the new user | 03:24 |

| SkinnYPuPp_ | rafase282, do you have wirelesstools ? | 03:25 |
| uman | lipsin ill check it | 03:25 |
| L3Tum | When my memory gets close to full, especially when working with GIMP, how can I empty the memory without restarting and re-opening all my programs? | 03:25 |
| Freek | Does the 8.10 alternate install CD allow you to resize partitions? Will i be able to create a dual boot with Windows 2000? | 03:25 |
| rafase282 | SkinnYPuPp_ I have networktools | 03:26 |
| rafase282 | but nothign like wirelesstools | 03:26 |
| root_demon | L3Tum> empty the memory? just close the applications you're not using. | 03:26 |
| whynot | Freek/that's how I'm using ubuntu with windows2000. | 03:26 |
| alexserver | how can i write dmesg output to a file | 03:26 |
| nibsa1242b | L3Tum: adding more swap might help | 03:26 |
| nickrud | Freek, absolutely, there's a disk partitioning step | 03:26 |
| Freek | Ok thanks nickrud | 03:26 |
| nibsa1242b | alexserver: dmsg > file.boring | 03:26 |
| L3Tum | root_demon - I've tried that, but it stays until I reboot | 03:26 |
| ed1 | does anyone know why audigy2 sound wont work but works for a few seconds when i reload drivers? | 03:26 |
| alexserver | nibsa1242b: thanks | 03:27 |
| whynot | Freek/ But I was/am not accustomed to ubuntu partition tools so that I made partitions with Fdisk before installing ubuntu. | 03:27 |
| nickrud | Freek, resize, hm, I don't think I've ever resized with the alternate. But I use the gparted live cd for all my partitioning needs anyway | 03:27 |
| root_demon | Freak> I'm not sure about Ubuntu, but I recommend a program called Gparted. there's a live boot image on the website. it can resize FAT32 and NTFS partitions. | 03:27 |
| droids | fryguy: finally, what's the command for deleting a user? apparently not rmuser. | 03:27 |
| SkinnYPuPp_ | rafase282, its "wireless-tools" mine started working after installing that | 03:27 |
| kr00l | Can someone help me change GRUB to boot Vista first? | 03:27 |
| c0mput3r | lol u used fdisk? lol | 03:27 |
| droids | i guess now that i can use firefox again, i can just look it up. | 03:27 |
| fryguy | droids: i'm guessing.. deluser | 03:27 |
| fryguy | droids: second guess would be userdel | 03:28 |
| nowimproved | if i'm using a switch and ubuntu as the router, do I need to make a bridge? | 03:28 |
| Freek | The thing is, the computer I'm using isn't sufficient to run the Live CD. It only has 256MB RAM | 03:28 |
| fryguy | nowimproved: no | 03:28 |
| root_demon | L3Tum> I think you're looknig at cached memory. that's not actually in use, it can be used at any time if needed, but it's there to free up some disck i/o load if you re-open the same programs. | 03:28 |
| nickrud | droids, use deluser, it's pretty smart about removing users. Just don't remove your original user, unless you've already made another one a member of the admin group | 03:28 |
| whynot | c0mput3r/lol. That's the way I installed ubuntu on my pc. | 03:28 |
| Cmclean | Ok I have tried to set up A LAMP server on 8.10 normal but it failed I need a walktrough other than the normal documentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 03:28 |
| nowimproved | fryguy, the two computers can ping each other, but I can't ping out on the other computer, what could i be doing wrong? | 03:28 |
| nickrud | Cmclean, what failed? | 03:29 |
| bazhang | Cmclean, no need for the excessive exclamation points | 03:29 |
| c0mput3r | as long as it works right? lol | 03:29 |
| rafase282 | can anyone help me activate my wireless card? | 03:29 |
| droids | nickrud: thanks. i'm just deleting the extra users that i made when trying to work around permissions problems. | 03:29 |
| Cmclean | sorry | 03:29 |
| Cmclean | kinda mad | 03:29 |
| droids | fryguy: you | 03:29 |
| m4cdaddy | fryguy, before i didn't ask for help | 03:29 |
| m4cdaddy | My xserver is installed and driver is installed i still cant go above 800x600 can someone please help me? | 03:29 |
| whynot | c0mput3r/Fdisk, install windows2000 on the first partition and ubuntu on second partion. 3rd partition for swap | 03:29 |
| nickrud | droids, yeah, I saw a bit of that earlier. Good to see you have that straightened out | 03:29 |
| Cmclean | m4cdaddy: nvidia-settings | 03:29 |
| droids | fryguy: you've been amazingly helpful, and i've noticed that you're constantly helping other people as well. thank you tons. | 03:29 |
| bazhang | m4cdaddy, what video card | 03:29 |
| c0mput3r | so you're on a fat32 lol | 03:30 |
| bastid_raZor | !cookie fryguy | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cookie fryguy | 03:30 |
| fryguy | droids: i'm just answering basics. I don't know much :( | 03:30 |
| bastid_raZor | !cookie | fryguy | 03:30 |
| ubottu | fryguy: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 03:30 |
| m4cdaddy | bazhang, lol uhm its an Nvidia Legacy card | 03:30 |
| m4cdaddy | bazhang, lol u helped me before | 03:30 |
| Freek | The impression I'm getting is that I should use another program to partition my hard drive for ubuntu. Any suggestions? | 03:30 |
| bazhang | m4cdaddy, what version of ubuntu | 03:30 |
| whynot | c0mput3r/first I made it ntfs for windows 2000 but I changed it into fat32. and ext3 for ubuntu when I install ubuntu. | 03:30 |
| droids | fryguy: regardless, you're devoting quite a bit of time just to helping others. it's awesome. | 03:31 |
| L3Tum | root_demon - alright thanks. I just noticed that things start getting very slow when the memory shows it's getting full, but I'll try re-opening the programs. | 03:31 |
| fryguy | Freek: i might be missing context, but gparted it a tool you can use to do partitioning | 03:31 |
| m4cdaddy | bazhang, 10.4? i think i just updated | 03:31 |
| c0mput3r | dude fat32 sucks | 03:31 |
| c0mput3r | but u know that right | 03:31 |
| c0mput3r | ? | 03:31 |
| root_demon | Freak> go download the Gparted live CD, and use that to resize your partition. then install Ubuntu or whatever. seriously. it's by far the best tool. | 03:31 |
| whynot | c0mput3r/it works fine for me. I don't care about ntfs or fat32 | 03:32 |
| jamiejackson | what's an easy decent irc in repos? this one's unusable in this channel | 03:32 |
| blainn | Howdy folks. I've got an annoying problem with my /dev/sdb1 | 03:32 |
| droids | nickred: do you know a command for removing groups? the users are gone, but their groups are still there. | 03:32 |
| fryguy | jamiejackson: i use and prefer irssi | 03:32 |
| lavacano201014 | jamiejackson: XChat | 03:32 |
| VPS|KDE | irssi | 03:32 |
| c0mput3r | my whole OS is encrypted :) | 03:32 |
| jamiejackson | i'll try irssi | 03:32 |
| droids | nickred: nevermind, it got rid of them. | 03:32 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid m4cdaddy please check here | 03:33 |
| droids | brb, restarting x. | 03:33 |
| * lavacano201014 uses XChat because he's in a lot of channels/networks at once | 03:33 | |
| ext | how do i control brightness via CLI | 03:33 |
| root_demon | L3Tum> um, well, it should actually be faster :-p if it is getting slow, it might be because you're using more swap space. that will slow you down. you can try "sudo swapoff -a; sudo swapon -a". that will unmount and then remount your swap partition, moving everying back into RAM. I recommend typing in "free -m" into xterm and seeing if swap is the problem. how much RAM do you have? | 03:33 |
| blainn | My system got shut down without my knowing it (power outage, possibly) and, when it rebooted, /dev/sdb1 was mounted with / as the mountpoint. | 03:34 |
| Dominik1 | L3Tum: change swappiness to 10 | 03:34 |
| lavacano201014 | blainn: And it's supposed to be...? | 03:34 |
| c0mput3r | but i read about encrypted hard drives...they can be hacked by dumping the memory from the ram! :( | 03:34 |
| ed1 | anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? | 03:34 |
| Dominik1 | c0mput3r: why? | 03:34 |
| m4cdaddy | bazhang, well i have the Driver and its installed but it said restricted driver is in use? is there something i have to change something to use it? | 03:34 |
| Freek | When I do use GParted(probably by USB, since i don't have many CDs to spare), how many partitions should I make and to what settings. If it helps, I have a 40GB hard drive. | 03:34 |
| Gnea | c0mput3r: url? | 03:34 |
| bazhang | m4cdaddy, please read that link | 03:34 |
| fryguy | c0mput3r: i'm some situations that is true. not all encryption implementations are vulnerable to that (what I use on my system isn't) | 03:34 |
| c0mput3r | but still pretty safe. unless someone knows how to dump the password | 03:34 |
| blainn | It was supposed to be what is in /etc/fstab, which is /home/blain/sambatest | 03:34 |
| NewPuppyNeedsHel | Hi | 03:35 |

| m4cdaddy | bazhang, hardy | 03:35 |
| ed1 | anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? | 03:35 |
| Dominik1 | c0mput3r: any encryption can be cracked, if your incription is good it will take alot of CPU time, but given the farms we have today even that will be a matter of days, so if they want your data they will get it | 03:35 |
| NewPuppyNeedsHel | Does anyone know how Ubuntu compares to Puppy 4.0? | 03:35 |
| IdleOne | Freek: 3 partitions, 1 for / 1 for /home and 1 for swap | 03:35 |
| L3Tum | root_demon - I have 1 GB of RAM | 03:35 |
| blainn | And it won't let me umount it, because other partitions share / as a mountpoint. | 03:35 |
| jamiejackson_irs | okay, one more time with irssi | 03:35 |
| lavacano201014 | blainn: So /dev/sdb1 was supposed to be mounted to a folder in your homefolder, but instead it thinks it's /. | 03:35 |
| L3Tum | Dominik1 - How do I do that? | 03:35 |
| lavacano201014 | blainn: Ow. | 03:36 |
| blainn | Yes. Exactly. | 03:36 |
| bazhang | m4cdaddy, then change the link I gave you to hardy and that will do it | 03:36 |
| psynophile | has anyone had a problem after dist-upgrading to intrepid with their optical drive not having a /dev entry anymore? | 03:36 |
| Dominik1 | L3Tum: why do you wanna encrypt? | 03:36 |
| fryguy | Dominik1: mind if I message you? | 03:36 |
| Dominik1 | fryguy: no | 03:36 |
| Gnea | psynophile: you rebooted? | 03:36 |
| Dominik1 | fryguy: I mean, go ahead | 03:36 |
| psynophile | Gnea: yea, twice | 03:36 |
| zenlunatic | Dominik1: or you can just send them to jail like UK | 03:36 |
| lavacano201014 | blainn: If you have a LiveCD (of an older version of Ubuntu or whatever) you can mount whatever partition is SUPPOSED to be / and check to see if your /etc/fstab got screwy | 03:36 |
| Dominik1 | zenlunatic: what? | 03:36 |
| lavacano201014 | Then with a little work, I think you can mount it read-write and fix it | 03:36 |
| Gnea | psynophile: does it show up in dmesg? | 03:37 |
| ferfactor | i installed Ubuntu in a Sony PCG-TR1F but i dont have sound... any one here can hel me?? | 03:37 |

| nuline370 | Hello, has anyone time to help? I've spent hours searching for solutions (days even). I'm running 6.06 and trying to install DRI but get error. Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-dri-modules-common" | 03:37 |
| blainn | My /etc/fstab seems to be fine (will go check). | 03:37 |
| psynophile | Gnea: nope, but it worked fine with hardy... | 03:37 |
| Gnea | !sound | ed1 | 03:37 |
| ubottu | ed1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:37 |
| root_demon | L3Tum> yeah, better off changing the swappiness like Dominik1 said. google a tutorial on it. | 03:37 |
| psynophile | Gnea: what module even...loads ide dvd drives? | 03:37 |
| Gnea | psynophile: then it's not detecting it... weird | 03:37 |
| ed1 | Gnea: thanks for pointing that out to me.. but i have tried all that it offers | 03:37 |
| ed1 | Gnea: none of it helps | 03:38 |
| blainn | And it is, other than that a line that says "/dev/sdb1/ /" | 03:38 |
| blainn | Wonder if that might be the problem. | 03:38 |
| Freek | So If I make 3 new partitions(/, home, and swap), how large should they be, and how should I go about keeping my Win2k instalation as a dualboot? | 03:38 |
| Gnea | ed1: er, that was supposed to be for ferfactor, actually... did you check the connection of your speakers to make sure they're plugging in all the way? | 03:38 |
| Odditie_ | Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to install Gnome-ppp on my Ubuntu machine, problem is it has no internet connection. I downloaded Gnome-ppp on my windows machine and transferred it over to my other machine, but i'm have a stupid moment and cant figure out how to install it | 03:38 |
| root_demon | nuline370> maybe upgrade to the latest release? | 03:39 |
| biomass | Gnea: I think c0mput3r was referring to the cold boot attacks that was in the media earlier this year, there's a wikipedia article on it | 03:39 |
| ferfactor | Gnea, where i can checl the speakers??? | 03:39 |
| ferfactor | doble click in sound icone? | 03:39 |
| L3Tum | root_demon - I've been wanting to add more memory for a while, since I had Vista. Do you think I should add more, or is 1GB plenty for linux? I will look for a tutorial to change the swappiness in the meantime though. | 03:39 |
| whynot | Freek/it sounds strange.../ and home, they are not partitions... | 03:39 |
| Falstius | Odditie_: sudo dpkg -i ... ? | 03:39 |

| nuline370 | root_demon, thanks but this is running on a low spec laptop (i have used 7.04 and 7.10 on this machine beryl worked fine and was easy to install/config) but 7.04 is quite slow compared to 6.06 on this machie | 03:40 |
| Freek | Well, IdleOne said to have those partitions | 03:40 |
| root_demon | L3Tum> 1GB is more than enough. I used to have a laptop with a 486cpu and 16MB of RAM that ran a 2.2 linux kernel. (custom build though) | 03:40 |
| Joaquinm | hi guys | 03:40 |
| whynot | Freek/ When you install ubunto on any partition, just select format type as ext3 and / as install directory | 03:40 |
| blainn | Okay, fixed. Now for my first intentional reboot in a long time. Thanks lavacano201014 | 03:40 |

| nickrud | Freek, I sugggest 15gb for / , 512mb for swap or ram+512mb if you plan on using hibernate, and as much as possible for /home. windows will get set up to boot automatically during install | 03:41 |

| lyons | my wireless connection keeps dropping out if i load up a torrent.. and then it wont reconnect.. what can i do to fix it? | 03:47 |

| nuline370 | root_demon> but i am fairly new to ubuntu, just can handle config make and navigate round the console , its like i'm 16 and learning dos again, but way better obviously. | 03:48 |

| darkbishop_ | brodymcd: wats wrong with it | 03:52 |
| psynophile | i don't know why, but none of the USB tutorials from the ubuntu wiki have ever worked, same goes for others on the net..but this one tool that's included with ibex works great | 03:52 |

| politico | sweet, thanks man | 03:56 |
| faryshta | politico, also if you want to install intrepid you will just need to compile the madwifi-hal you can ask here. | 03:56 |
| faryshta | unitedpotsmokers, yeah, that worked with me last time. | 03:56 |
| politico | coolness | 03:56 |
| unitedpotsmokers | ok faryshta ... thanks.. | 03:56 |
| politico | i admit that I'm pretty apprehensive about it | 03:56 |
| faryshta | if that don't work then just install the java packages from synaptic. | 03:57 |
| politico | because installing slackware was a trip haha | 03:57 |
| nuline370 | root_demon >> hey, if i do abandon 6.06 do you know of a good guide or wiki or somthing to speed up things on a later release? | 03:57 |

| psynophile | so, is there, maybe, a way to tell my system to reconfigure its hardware so that maybe it can detect the DVD drive? | 03:57 |
| faryshta | Well you can always give a try with the liveCD first. | 03:57 |
| mindrape | psynophile - BIOS is your only hope... otherwise whatever dmesg says is what you've got. | 03:58 |
| politico | faryshta, will the installation process be difficult, or pretty self-explanatory? | 03:58 |
| faryshta | politico, The only thing that don't work out of the box is the wifi, which as I told you just need the madwifi-hal | 03:58 |
| psynophile | midrape: it might actually be in dmesg and i might not know what i'm looking for, lol | 03:58 |
| darkbishop_ | brodymcd: have u run update? | 03:58 |
| politico | yeah, i've read that in some various articles | 03:58 |
| politico | but, from the instructions i've seen, it's pretty straight forward | 03:58 |

| faryshta | Hotshot`, also there is Xubuntu which works great for me. | 04:24 |
| Dulak | mintsoup: when I search for history I get about 10 things in the list with various settings so a default config might fix you up | 04:24 |
| mintsoup | Dulak: i did that already in response to the 'firefox is already running' error... and since that might have caused the problem i have now i tried moving my old profile back to the default name | 04:24 |
| hosstest | faryshta: Nope, chmod didnt work. :( | 04:24 |

| Hotshot` | i need a VERY light version, thanks i'll look into ubuntu lite | 04:25 |
| Dulak | mintsoup: don't move the profile itself to the new profile, just move the stuff you need like bookmarks etc | 04:25 |
| hosstest | wonder why Wine wont run the installer from the DVD. | 04:25 |
| Sinani201 | Where can I change the Ubuntu code? | 04:25 |
| faryshta | Hotshot`, you can also install xubuntu then add the package lxde and delete xfce. | 04:25 |
| mintsoup | Dulak: firefox should create a new profile when it starts up and doesn't find the mozilla dir i think | 04:25 |

| joebodo | Dulak bookmarks.html is firefox 2 | 04:27 |
| mintsoup | Dulak, i'm not concerned with any settings from my old profile because this is a rather fresh install and i didn't add bookmarks or anything yet. The point is that I created a new profile and it didn't resolve the issue | 04:27 |

| hosstest | sudo mount -o ro,unhide,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/ | 04:40 |
| pd4 | Can someone help me with nvidia GeForce 2 Ti video card, it reads fail at boot | 04:40 |
| Carlos_Tico | anyone knows | 04:40 |
| joebodo | sact this is from the binarydriverhowto : If you have problems with video playback, e.g. in mplayer, gxine, or mythtv frontend with a legacy card, it may be due to too high a color depth (e.g. using NT6 Vanta/Vanta LT "nvidia" driver, I experienced flickering vertical bars & blue screen flashing). To fix this, manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change DefaultDepth to 16. | 04:40 |
| z4nd | hmm, isn't there some kind of.."advanced" settings tab or somthing for XChat? | 04:40 |
| Theeb | when I type fglrxinfo in the terminal i get : X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) | 04:40 |
| hosstest | how would I unmount my cdrom, lol | 04:40 |
| hugo | nickrud, I first downloaded from openoffice.org the linux version. It looks like I got the rpm version, I went back and couldn't find the deb version. I checked with the forums and it said to remove 2.4 and do a clean install of 3.0 | 04:40 |
| joebodo | !nvidia | sact | 04:41 |
| ubottu | sact: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:41 |
| BrickHaus | does anyone know what the path is to "gdm.conf"? | 04:41 |
| scunizi | hosstest, sudo umount /media/cdrom0 | 04:41 |
| hosstest | scunizi: thanks | 04:41 |
| Sact | joebodo: Thanks very much | 04:41 |
| Luisa | Hey guys, no flames please, but I'm thinking of switching to Debian, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which one has more software on the repos. | 04:41 |
| faryshta | ed1 I think no one here know how to fix it, let me see if I can find something on Google. | 04:42 |
| hugo | nickrud, SPM shows no version of openoffice installed, but tells me it can't install because it needs certain dependencies that weren't selected. | 04:42 |
| Dulak | luisa: ubuntu has more and newer repos than debian | 04:42 |
| ed1 | faryshta: thanks. i've looked all over the place. tried a whole load of commands but nothings helped :/ | 04:42 |
| nickrud | hugo, you downloaded a file that ended in tar.gz or tar.bz2 ? | 04:42 |
| hugo | tar.gz | 04:42 |
| Luisa | Dulak: compared to Debian unstable? Hm | 04:42 |
| nickrud | hugo, ok, that's not a package style that synaptic can handle | 04:43 |
| ucdCSpunk | Hello..I have a quick question. Here is a video displaying Ubuntu on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKEcz_OTTBk Now at around 1:20 there is a background effect. What is this effect and how can I implement it? | 04:43 |
| nickrud | hugo, where did yo download it to? | 04:43 |
| AlmightyT | whats the best music player for ubuntu? that works just like winamp with stations listings etc. amarok has very limited stations | 04:43 |
| tonybaloney867 | Here's a question that I haven't been able to find using Google: I switch between using Pidgin and bitlbee for IM. Can I disable the pidgin integration with the user switch applet? | 04:43 |
| hugo | desktop, I have since moved it to an external hardrive | 04:43 |
| J-a-k-e | Does anyone here have a decent quality sound card running in ubuntu? I'm wondering if sound quality in ubuntu compares to windows, because I've ben using a creative card and it just doesn't sound the same in ubuntu. | 04:43 |
| faryshta | Have you tried to check if the system is not in mute? | 04:43 |
| embe | a quick question, I want to open 3 xterms from an xterm, cant find the commnad. I know of "xterm &" anyone? | 04:43 |
| Dulak | luisa: it's been unstable for like 2 years now, ubuntu has had 4 releases in that time | 04:44 |
| faryshta | I mean check the volume manager? | 04:44 |
| === mauhur is now known as govinda | ||
| whyameye | embe: you mean the gnome terminal? As in gnome-terminal &? | 04:44 |
| nickrud | hugo, here are the installation instructions: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Installation/How_do_I_install_OpenOffice.org_on_Linux%3F | 04:44 |
| embe | any term | 04:45 |
| scunizi | ucdCSpunk, that's called Beryl which is now depriciated.. the latest is Compiz-fusion.. it's built in if you enable 3d for your video card. | 04:45 |
| embe | but like three of them from one | 04:45 |
| whyameye | embe: gnome-terminal & | 04:45 |
| Luisa | Dulak: ... :/ Sorry, that confused me ;p Debian does not have fixed releases, they "release" when it's ready. Unstable is supposed to be unstable all the time. When it is stable, then it is on the Stable, not Unstable.. Mmm... | 04:45 |
| hugo | nickrud, ok checking it out. afk | 04:45 |
| embe | like gnome-terminal & will only open 1 term from the orig term | 04:45 |
| z4nd | There isn't somekind of hidden "advanced" tab or somthing in xchat? | 04:46 |
| MrNaz | how do you run an app with sudo permissions? say i want to use notepad to edit a root-owned file... how would i do that? | 04:46 |
| ucdCSpunk | scunizi, does CompizFusion have that specific effect? I've seen something called "elements" but it's not the same as the one in the youtube video. does this mean the effect has dissappeared altogether? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKEcz_OTTBk at 1:20) | 04:46 |
| AlmightyT | does anyone else seem to get reduced speeds from synaptic manager? | 04:46 |
| Flannel | Luisa: Debian has many more packages in the repositories. I could dig up numbers if you'd prefer | 04:46 |
| scunizi | ucdCSpunk, I didn't watch the whole thing.. which effect are you talking about.? | 04:46 |
| ucdCSpunk | 1 minute and 20 seconds into it | 04:46 |
| ferfactor | i have installed the sound tablet buit i dont have sound | 04:46 |
| scunizi | ucdCSpunk, hang on.. | 04:46 |
| ferfactor | any idea? | 04:46 |
| embe | anyone? know the CLI for multiple terms from a terminal | 04:47 |
| ucdCSpunk | ok. | 04:47 |
| Flannel | embe: screen | 04:47 |
| nickrud | AlmightyT, depends on the server you're downloading from. | 04:47 |
| embe | whats screen or the flag, or the whole command? | 04:47 |
| Flannel | !screen | embe | 04:47 |
| ubottu | embe: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 04:47 |
| joebodo | !ferfactor | sound | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ferfactor | 04:47 |
| joebodo | !sound | ferfactor | 04:47 |
| ubottu | ferfactor: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:47 |
| embe | i dont understand guys | 04:47 |
| ucdCSpunk | scunizi, it's a background effect if i wasn't specific enough | 04:48 |
| joebodo | embe plz describe what you trying to do in a little more detail | 04:48 |
| Flannel | embe: Screen is the utility to allow you to get multiple terminals sessions in a single terminal. | 04:48 |
| scunizi | ucdCSpunk, you mean all that flying debris going across the screen? I'm sure compiz has something like that plus a lot more.. fire, water drop effects etc.. | 04:48 |
| ucdCSpunk | ahhh, okay thanks | 04:48 |
| cloud-nist | Does anyone know of a good site to download opensource Ubuntu Games?? | 04:48 |
| scunizi | !ccsm | ucdCSpunk | 04:48 |
| nickrud | I want cockroaches running across my screen | 04:48 |
| ubottu | ucdCSpunk: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 04:48 |
| djhash | how to configure nautilus to run a script when audio CD is inserted?!! | 04:48 |
| Luisa | Flannel: hey, thanks for the response. I've been thinking about switching to debian (but staying involved in UbuntuForums ofcourse :) , but I was afraid of having to install random apps from source. I guess any .deb should work for debian as long as dependencies are met *shrug* I really just don't want to have to get .debs from the web. I'd rather apt-get :) | 04:48 |
| embe | trying to open 2 or more xterms from one xterm | 04:49 |
| Dulak | Flannel: that's only true if you count unstable vs. just the ubuntu main repos, if you add universe and multiverse in they are comparable, with ubuntu having a slight edge in freshness | 04:49 |
| embe | via cli | 04:49 |
| whyameye | embe: here's what I came up with: for i in `seq 1 3`; do `gnome-terminal &`; done | 04:49 |
| Luisa | Dulak: Well, I wanted to use Debian sid anyway ^_~ | 04:49 |
| nickrud | freshness? unstable is nearly always months fresher | 04:49 |
| embe | cheers a loop is that the only woway | 04:49 |
| ucdCSpunk | Thanks | 04:49 |
| Dulak | unstable is broke 1/2 the time too in my experience | 04:50 |
| cloud-nist | Is there a website to download free Ubuntu PC games?? | 04:50 |
| embe | serious a loop?, ok ittl have to do | 04:50 |
| Luisa | yes cloud-nist, hold on, let me get it ^_^ | 04:50 |
| scunizi | cloud-nist, www.getdeb.net | 04:50 |
| whyameye | embe: why is a loop bad? | 04:50 |
| faryshta | cloud-nist, try getdeb.net | 04:50 |

| Luisa | cloud-nist: http://www.playdeb.net/ there's also TONS of them if you go to Add/Remove and look under Games | 04:50 |
| Flannel | Luisa: No, the two aren't binary compatable. | 04:50 |
| ucdCSpunk | Also, is IDLE (python GUI) available on Ubuntu right when you install the OS on your computer? or do you need to install it separately? | 04:51 |
| cloud-nist | Luisa: Awesome ty!! | 04:51 |

| DasE1 | moparfan90: : which ati ? | 05:07 |
| govinda | how can I make my ubuntu faster removing what I dont need.. the default bloated software etc | 05:07 |
| joebodo | moparfan90 go to administration->hardware drivers - it will search for you | 05:07 |
| moparfan90 | HD3200 | 05:07 |
| Guest18171 | any one from fiji here | 05:07 |
| ed__ | DasE1: im sorry but that didnt work. i tried "move" and "always visible on workspace" the chat window is still missing :/ | 05:08 |
| qah | djhash: Hey, the command worked! :) | 05:08 |
| cilkay | Hello. I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix as a guide. In line 1 of init.ldif, I have: dn: dc=mallow,dc=mydomain,dc=com. What should I have on line 3 of init.ldif where it now has: dc: collins. I tried "dc: mydomain" but I get "64) value of naming attribute 'dc' is not present in entry" when I attempt "slapadd -v -l init.ldif" | 05:08 |
| moparfan90 | i tried that. i try to enable the ati driver through that but it doesnt do anything | 05:08 |
| lyons | limiting the peers or upload doesnt work | 05:09 |
| BrickHaus | govinda: I would start be removing startup programs you don't need. System>Preferences>Sessions. I don't use BlueTooth at all or IPV^ | 05:09 |
| joebodo | !ati | moparfan90 | 05:09 |
| ubottu | moparfan90: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:09 |
| lyons | wireless will die a couple mins after a torrent starts | 05:09 |
| qah | When using g++ or gcc to compile stuff, how can I change the target processor to ARM? | 05:09 |
| DasE1 | moparfan90: trry joeb..., propitary driver from ati-HP issues with xorg 7.4 (ibex) but the generic ati worked for me (manually editet xorg) | 05:09 |
| djhash | qah: glad it did | 05:09 |
| govinda | BrickHaus, great start, thanks | 05:09 |
| whyameye | govinda: removing apps that aren't running anyway won't do much. If it is too slow, try a different window manager, such as XFCE. That would be the one used by xubuntu | 05:09 |
| qah | djhash: The only problem is I couldn't start it back up | 05:09 |
| hellslinger | anyone know how I can keep from having to execute "ufw disable" each time I boot ibex? | 05:09 |
| DasE1 | ed__: have you got a symbol for pidgin on downbar ? | 05:09 |
| djhash | qah: not even "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" | 05:10 |
| richard_ | whats new here | 05:10 |
| qah | djhash: I tried typing some stuff in, but when I hit enter, it did nothing. I even typed echo Hello World, and nothing was printed | 05:10 |
| scunizi | hellslinger, is that a kernel command? | 05:10 |
| qah | djhash: it wasn't doing anything with the commands | 05:10 |
| BrickHaus | govinda: you might want to put those same programs in the blacklist file as well so they don't come back after upgrading something. | 05:10 |
| cilkay | govinda: What is installed has little bearing on the speed of the machine. What is *running* does. More RAM is always good and so is using a lighter desktop, though I dispute that XFCE is appreciably lighter than KDE or Gnome (I've run documented tests.) | 05:10 |
| djhash | qah: did you press "ctrl+alt+f1" | 05:10 |
| hellslinger | scunizi, no, it is ubuntufirewall, however when i remove the package I still have to execute that command | 05:11 |
| qah | djhash: No I didn't. What does that do? | 05:11 |
| govinda | but i like gnome :( | 05:11 |
| djhash | qah: takes you to a command line terminal | 05:11 |
| whyameye | cilkay: send the link of your documented tests | 05:11 |
| qah | djhash: Oh. Let me try it | 05:11 |
| govinda | how safe is gtkorphan ? | 05:11 |
| cilkay | whyameye: Google for it on the TLUG mailing list. | 05:11 |
| richard_ | so many pplhere | 05:11 |
| RivitingOne | Can someone tell me how to use a shell script? Specifically what do you do with it once you have it. How is it run or implemented? | 05:11 |
| fogobogo | richard_: im not here. | 05:12 |
| scunizi | hellslinger, might still be in /usr/bin .. you could also put it in System>Admin>Services.. also if you uninstalled the program you might do it again using purge | 05:12 |
| * stojic licks fogobogo | 05:12 | |
| cilkay | whyameye: Where TLUG = Toronto Linux User Group, a.k.a. GTALUG. It's archived on gmane. | 05:12 |
| djhash | qah: thats what I said before.. you have 6 ttys.. 1 through 6.. and to change to them you can press "ctrl+alt+f[1-6]" | 05:12 |
| joebodo | RivitingOne from a terminal, type "sh somescript" | 05:12 |
| fogobogo | stojic: that tickles!! | 05:12 |
| joebodo | RivitingOne where somescript is the name of the script | 05:12 |
| morningwalker | how to hide files and folders in ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| qah | djhash: That did the trick. :) | 05:12 |
| stojic | fogobogo: try to relax | 05:13 |
| BrickHaus | cilkay that's why I had govinda start with removing any progams that start at startup if he knows for sure he doesn't use those. If your not using those programs their each claiming a chunk of mem right off the bat. Removing the unneeded startup apps helped me alot | 05:13 |
| lyons | does no IPv6 routers mean anything to anyone here? | 05:13 |
| scientes | i cant find where to query if there is ipv6 support in my ethernet device | 05:13 |
| scunizi | morningwalker, rename them with a dot "." in the front of the file/folder name | 05:13 |
| qah | djhash: How can I install other desktop environments? | 05:13 |
| scientes | its a sis900 | 05:13 |
| scunizi | qah, like what? xfce? | 05:13 |
| djhash | lyons: it means you dont have any connection to any routers that has either ipv6 enabled or supports ipv6 | 05:13 |
| qah | djhash: Yes | 05:13 |
| * fogobogo relaxes | 05:13 | |
| djhash | qah: sudo apt-get install BLAH | 05:13 |
| morningwalker | oh cool | 05:14 |
| morningwalker | thanks | 05:14 |
| BrickHaus | scientes: do you actually see sis900 eth interface when you do "sudo ifconfig -a" | 05:14 |
| lyons | could that cause my wireless connection to die? | 05:14 |
| qah | djhash: So if I want xfce for instance, I just type sudo apt-get install xfce? | 05:14 |
| cilkay | govinda: Try IceWM. It looks sort of like Windows 95. It doesn't have the features of KDE or Gnome but it's quite fast and light. | 05:14 |
| scunizi | qah, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop etc | 05:14 |
| fogobogo | qah: yes. | 05:14 |
| djhash | qah: sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 05:14 |
| qah | oh okay | 05:14 |
| scientes | yes briank its up but my router does not suport ipv6 (my switch does though) | 05:14 |
| whyameye | qah: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 05:14 |
| qah | Thanks guys | 05:14 |
| scientes | im sure thats what it is | 05:14 |
| xTheGoat121x | Does anyone know the command to list what programs are using a sound card? | 05:14 |
| govinda | cilkay, thank you, but i'll stick with gnome, its not that bad | 05:15 |
| BrickHaus | scientes if your router doesn't support IPv6 then you need to blacklist it and that will stop it from running at startup | 05:15 |
| qah | Stupid me tried building xfce from source earlier. :) | 05:15 |
| govinda | you just need to remove what you dont need | 05:15 |
| govinda | or buy a new computer :) | 05:15 |
| scientes | no what im trying to do is know if i can set up a ipv6 router | 05:15 |
| xxxx001 | HYY | 05:15 |

| xxxx001 | TEU NGARTI | 05:17 |
| fogobogo | qah: cross compile | 05:17 |
| scientes | well i need a router why why not make it ipv6, my old router keeps crashing | 05:17 |

| cilkay | govinda: I've been a KDE user for a long time and even though every iteration seems to get a bit more resource-intensive, though KDE 4 seems to have reversed that trend, I stick with it because after I make my rounds evaluating various other desktop/window managers, I realize how ingrained KDE has become in my workflow so I completely understand your position. | 05:18 |
| DasE1 | ed1:running ibex ? | 05:18 |
| * fogobogo wonders if qah knows google | 05:18 | |
| DasE1 | sth wrong with sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) in ibex ? | 05:19 |

| govinda | cilkay, exactly. its ok to lose a little horse power for something that fits together | 05:19 |

| * fogobogo giggles | 05:23 | |
| droopsta915 | how can i play an embed video using a movie player of my choice. | 05:23 |

| qah | Well, I am going under xfce now. Later :) | 05:23 |
| fogobogo | govinda: cant you hear the music? | 05:23 |

| Theeb | Installing initial module | 05:24 |
| BrickHaus | droopsta915: what do you mean "Embedded".. On a web page? | 05:24 |
| mindrape | zack - well there you go... your nvidia card is plugged in but using the nvidia driver most likely..... lsmod | grep "nvidia" | 05:24 |
| govinda | fogobogo, yes I can, I would like to talk about a few artists and this is not the right channel.. | 05:24 |
| mindrape | err not using | 05:24 |
| hardikar | Is it possible to change wine cursor theme or use X11 cursor theme | 05:24 |
| scunizi | Theeb, try installing build-essential.. | 05:24 |
| fogobogo | govinda: how do you know? | 05:25 |
| zack | mindrape, yes it is, but the intel module is loaded as well, and compiz fails | 05:25 |

| droopsta915 | Brickhaus: im in a web sight that shows url and embed: how can i play thet embed on a movie player | 05:25 |
| daneel | where did the icons on the left tabs go (see http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel/snapshot1.png) | 05:25 |
| mindrape | zack - well maybe you need to dpkg-reconfigure compiz so its not trying to use it? | 05:25 |
| scunizi | Theeb, not saying is will solve it .. but.. sudo apt-get install build-essential | 05:25 |
| govinda | fogobogo, this is about ubuntu, man | 05:26 |
| fogobogo | ANY ARTISTS HERE?!? | 05:26 |
| Theeb | scunizi, nope it didnt, thanks tho | 05:26 |
| mindrape | zack - also, is nvidia listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??? | 05:26 |
| zack | mindrape, isn't it better to tell somehow X to not use it at all? | 05:26 |
| mindrape | zack - xorg.conf. :) | 05:26 |
| zack | mindrape, yes, only nvidia is listed in xconf | 05:26 |

| Ferrenrock | I....I can explain | 05:27 |
| zack | mindrape: but lsmod shows intel_agp loaded. and used by agpgart. agpgart uses nvidia as well | 05:27 |
| stojic | I like installing nvidia drivers. I do it for the kicks. | 05:27 |
| mindrape | zack - System -> Preferences -> Appearance ... set to NONE then set back to Medium or something... it should rescan. | 05:27 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: youre grounded!!! | 05:27 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: NOOO | 05:28 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: six weeks!!!! | 05:28 |
| Ferrenrock | :( | 05:28 |
| BrickHaus | droopsta915: Well first you have to know what kind of stream it will be.. IE.. flash, wmv, mpeg.. ect..ect. then in FireFox goto Edit>Preferences>Applications>Select the filetype, highlight it (or click) and then choose which program you want firefox to use to play that particular embedded video. | 05:28 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: and no TV!!! | 05:28 |

| inktri | i'm having trouble with eclipse cdt... When I try to run "make" on the Release build I get: "make: Fatal error in reader: makefile, line 6: Unexpected end of line seen" on my other machine. anyone know how to fix that? the machine with eclipse is Ubuntu g++ version 4.2. my other machine is a SunOS 3.4.

| BrickHaus | droopsta915: np | 05:29 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: just curious. have you considered using the manual? | 05:29 |
| mindrape | zack - you can try to rig it.... CTRL ALT F2 to drop to console... kill X... rmmod the intel driver... bring up X :P | 05:29 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: just make a program that fakes the pay per view protocol | 05:29 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: yeah, I have it, it's 5 inches (12 centimeters) away from me | 05:29 |

| Yondering | hi all.. question, I'm building a new system and looking for feedback.. trying to decide between an nvidia 9800gt and ati hd4850 video cards.. and I'm wondering how ATI's linux support is stacking up compared to nvidia's lately? | 05:33 |
| i | hhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy | 05:33 |
| hardikar | empathy is a IM which supports gtalk voice chat | 05:34 |
| Dulak | treats: depends on what you mean by remote desktop | 05:34 |

| ed1 | DasE1: hey i ran alsamixergui | 05:34 |
| Yondering | scunizi, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks. | 05:34 |
| Dulak | treats: freenx is not quite as easy as vnc but it runs a LOT better imo | 05:34 |
| ed1 | DasE1: what should i do from there? | 05:34 |
| Yondering | subir, sudo aptitude install openssh-server | 05:35 |
| subir | Yondering, already have that package | 05:35 |
| DasE1 | ed1: does the soundcard appear in the upper panel of alsa-gui ? | 05:35 |

| treats | Dulak, freenx is the standard choice for quality remote desktop then? | 05:35 |
| subir | Yondering, says no route to host | 05:35 |
| fogobogo | govinda: to file bug reports | 05:35 |
| ed1 | DasE1: but the first line of your instructions didnt work.. didnt find ubuntu-modules for my kernel | 05:35 |

| Tetracomm | Other than the shutdown problem, it hasn't given any trouble. | 06:15 |
| matthew | another thing most of the time when you have a grub issue there is usually there is something wrong with the iso | 06:15 |
| DarkKnight | hey i m not not able to see my 2nd workspace...can help?? | 06:16 |

| matthew | and it takes a lot longer | 06:16 |

| matthew | it is a text install it isn't hard just like installing debian and it gets updates and everything before your first reboot | 06:16 |
| matthew | text install is nice | 06:16 |

| paul68 | !patience |darkknight | 06:18 |
| ubottu | darkknight: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 06:18 |
| uep | I'm not sure booting from the hard drive will work... it doesn't even install grub to the partition. | 06:18 |
| matthew | akahige sounds like you already have the partitions made | 06:18 |
| Dulak | Frijolie: in virtualbox you can edit the settings on the virtual machine, go to cdrom, and it will let you choose an existing device which is a passthru, or the ability to mount an iso | 06:18 |
| matthew | if you want them resized you need to delete the whole disk and make the partitions | 06:18 |
| whyameye | DarkKnight: can you be more specific about your problem? | 06:18 |
| matthew | it is worth a try | 06:19 |
| Dulak | Frijolie: just choose the cdrom device and have it connect at boot and boot the vm and it will have a cdrom which is the real cdrom on the machine | 06:19 |
| akahige | matthew: I have partitions made for current Ubuntu install... but I need to alter them. supposedly, gparted will let me grow them... right? | 06:19 |
| matthew | if you can get in to your system you can repair grub that way | 06:19 |
| matthew | I never used gparted to resize a disk that I was using | 06:19 |

| Frijolie | Dulak: hmm...alright I'll try that | 06:20 |
| uep | At the very least you have to unmount it. | 06:20 |
| matthew | thought so robb | 06:20 |
| Robb_M | matthew: cant resize a mounted partition or format or anything, it has to be unmounted. | 06:20 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: so I installed that one linux app, 'sex' | 06:20 |
| DarkKnight | whyameya; in my panel...i can't see my 2nd workspace,but it does exist...bcoz i transferred one of my process to the 2nd workspace and its working.... | 06:20 |
| Ferrenrock | it's hilarious | 06:20 |
| matthew | yeah tried to say unmount 30 times too | 06:20 |
| matthew | like I said | 06:20 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: o rly? is it in multiverse? | 06:20 |
| Ferrenrock | I'm not sure, I just compiled it or something | 06:21 |
| matthew | I would delete the whole drive then make the partitions how you want then install | 06:21 |
| akahige | Robb_M: talking here about resizing unmounted partitions from the live cd | 06:21 |
| Ferrenrock | I'm not sure what compiling is | 06:21 |
| matthew | oh and back everything up etc | 06:21 |
| uep | matthew: how do I install grub when it's not installed anywhere? | 06:21 |
| DarkKnight | paul68; see my private message | 06:21 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: compile? never heard that. | 06:21 |
| matthew | uep idk | 06:21 |
| Robb_M | akahige: yeah, im aware, im just confirming matthews theory :) | 06:21 |
| matthew | did you ever have it installed ? | 06:21 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: must be the latest craze | 06:21 |
| uep | I did under 8.04, yes. | 06:21 |
| karon | 天阿 | 06:21 |
| Robb_M | akahige: you can do that, its possible. | 06:22 |
| akahige | Robb_M: it's cool. wasn't trying to give you grief. :) | 06:22 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: whatev, I hate the people who are like 'OH I BUILT LINUX FROM SCRATCH" | 06:22 |
| karon | cn99不好用了 | 06:22 |
| matthew | you should be able to boot the live cd and then select boot from disk then repair grub | 06:22 |
| Robb_M | !jp | 06:22 |
| ubottu | 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 06:22 |
| paul68 | DarkKnight: don't pm me and watch your language! | 06:22 |
| Robb_M | matthew: thats on the 8.10 cd? i havent seen it on 8.04... | 06:22 |
| darkbishop_ | i think its chiness.. | 06:22 |
| uep | Can I really boot from the disk though? It doesn't have grub installed at all, and there's no initrd on the partition either. | 06:22 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: tru dat! they dont even know animal names! | 06:22 |
| akahige | Robb_M: the prob I'm having, is that gparted won't let me resize my ext3 /boot partition much past what it already is... and I don't get why | 06:23 |
| Robb_M | !cn | karon | 06:23 |
| ubottu | karon: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:23 |
| Robb_M | blah..too late... | 06:23 |
| uep | I've tried booting from the disk before and it didn't work (unfortunately, I tried like 20 different things, so maybe I was having different problems at the time...). | 06:23 |
| Robb_M | akahige: hmm......i dont know.... | 06:23 |
| matthew | uep did you ever have grub installed ? | 06:23 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: actually the ubuntu animal naming scheme is partly what got me into ubuntu, I hate microsloth's windows naming? | 06:23 |
| uep | It's worth a shot I guess. I'll try booting from the disc again. | 06:23 |
| Ferrenrock | *naming | 06:23 |
| matthew | if so what happened ? | 06:23 |
| Ferrenrock | like | 06:23 |
| Ferrenrock | wtf is 'vista' | 06:23 |
| Ferrenrock | the terminator OS? | 06:23 |
| uep | I had it installed under 8.04 | 06:23 |
| DarkKnight | hey i m not not able to see my 2nd workspace...can help?? | 06:23 |
| DasE1 | akahige:you need free space next to it and dirve must be unmounted | 06:24 |
| bioe007_ | Ferrenrock: i put 8.10 into my toaster and it wont boot | 06:24 |
| matthew | and you updated or what ? | 06:24 |
| uep | matthew: It still seems to be sitting there in the master boot record, but *not* on the partition. | 06:24 |
| uep | matthew: I actually installed it fresh instead of upgrading. | 06:24 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: thats right. and their repo is totally unordered. i mean; internet? | 06:24 |
| akahige | DasE1: thanks. that confirms what I was thinking. | 06:24 |
| fogobogo | Ferrenrock: what lame name is that | 06:24 |
| Ferrenrock | bioe007_: what do you mean 'boot'? | 06:24 |
| Ferrenrock | fogobogo: hahaha oh lulz | 06:24 |
| bioe007_ | Ferrenrock: i mean it just sits there, and gets really hot | 06:24 |
| matthew | then can you just update it ? | 06:25 |
| matthew | This is why I do text installs :| | 06:25 |
| bioe007_ | wow, text installsounds hardcore | 06:25 |
| Ferrenrock | bioe007_: forget 'brave little toaster,' I wanna watch 'hot little toaster' | 06:25 |
| akahige | DasE1: my /tmp partition is next to it. I should be able to back it up, delete it, resize /boot, then recreate /tmp without causing myself probs, right? | 06:25 |
| uep | matthew: I've tried running grub-update, but it seems to want to find the grub files in the root partition, instead of at target. | 06:25 |
| * bioe007_ watchs Ferrenrock's hot little toaster | 06:25 | |
| uep | Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time downloading the image now. :-P | 06:25 |
| matthew | what image ? | 06:26 |
| Ferrenrock | bioe007_: oh snap | 06:26 |
| Hotshot` | has anyone here used gOS before | 06:26 |
| bioe007_ | Ferrenrock: \o/ | 06:26 |
| bioe007_ | Hotshot`: no, but ive use gAS | 06:26 |
| uep | matthew: The alternate disk image. I didn't mount my other partitions as writeable is all. | 06:26 |
| DasE1 | akahige:do it from a live cd | 06:26 |
| uep | matthew: since I'm running from the live cd still. | 06:26 |
| DasE1 | *do | 06:26 |
| Ferrenrock | bioe007_: holla m_0*0_m | 06:26 |
| Hotshot` | I'm trying to find out how much HDD space is needed for a gOS install. | 06:27 |
| matthew | why not reinstall ? | 06:27 |
| bioe007_ | idk gAS runs pretty good | 06:27 |
| matthew | if you just installed it anyways | 06:27 |
| akahige | DasE1: yes, exactly.... how do I get the UUID of the new partition so I can update fstab? | 06:27 |
| matthew | maybe it was a disk error ? | 06:27 |

| Joaquinm | guys someone knows an easy way to update to openoffice 3.0 ? | 06:42 |
| gigel2006 | how can I change target of a LINK to add stuff like -command in ubuntu like in a windows target shortcut ? | 06:43 |
| Wintervenom | Joaquinm: Add the OpenOffice PPA. * Gets the link... * | 06:43 |
| djhedges | gigel2006: ln -s (what you want to link) | 06:43 |
| matthew | joaquinm have you tried synaptic ? | 06:43 |
| Joaquinm | yeah but only 2.4 there | 06:43 |
| matthew | http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US | 06:44 |
| matthew | you can get the deb there | 06:44 |
| Joaquinm | ok thx | 06:44 |
| gigel2006 | djhedges: like as in, I have a shortcut of a game in exe. the .ink file has sometihng like -game cstrike, how can I do that in ubuntu so that the game will start and work ? (wine) | 06:44 |
| Joaquinm | do i need to unistall the old one ? | 06:44 |
| matthew | I would just uninstall what you have now with synaptic and install the deb | 06:44 |
| Joaquinm | i was thinkin in an update hehe | 06:44 |
| matthew | check for dependencies | 06:45 |
| Wintervenom | http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 06:45 |
| Wintervenom | At Joaquinm | 06:45 |
| djhedges | gigel2006: you start the game with wine cs.exe? | 06:45 |
| djhedges | something like that? | 06:46 |
| gigel2006 | djhedges: I don't have that file, that's why in windows it has a modified shotrcut with modified target | 06:46 |
| esthar | My mini 9 is not recognising th 2GB RAM module I put into it... is this ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| djhedges | gigel2006: do you have it working in wine yet? | 06:46 |
| esthar | it thinks it only has some 850MB | 06:46 |
| gigel2006 | djhedges: no because I need to add -game cstrike to hl.exe and I don't know how, THAT's WHAT I'm ASKING | 06:47 |
| djhedges | gigel2006: linux won't expand the ink file, you'll have to link to the actually location | 06:47 |
| djhedges | gigel2006: sorry I don't know much about wine | 06:47 |
| djhedges | maybe /join #wine | 06:47 |
| sweetgum | djhedges: how do i choose the directory to untar the file to? | 06:47 |
| gigel2006 | djhedges: it's about ubuntu, in relation to windows how can you add commands to targets | 06:48 |

| WIGGMPk | I am constantly having to run "fsck" on my /root partition, I am constantly using Ubuntu and all of a sudden things dont work, like the GUI is interactive but nothing works.. for instance, if I am lucky to have a terminal already open, running "sudo fdisk -ls" shows nothing (except for an error which I cant remember) but what could possibly be happening???? please help | 07:30 |
| palomer | checked your ram? | 07:30 |
| palomer | when things are weird, I usually check my ram | 07:31 |
| hirak99 | i think your hard disk may be defective | 07:31 |
| WIGGMPk | hirak99: very unlikely, this same situation was happening before and I thought exactly that, but this is a brand new (as in babies bottom new) hard drive | 07:31 |
| DasE1 | akahige:when in grub and doing setup, mention sdxy starts with y=1 while grub's hd(x,Y) starts with y = 0 so /dev/sda1 is hd (0,0) | 07:31 |
| WIGGMPk | palomer: that is a good point, I just installed 2x2GB sticks recently and it WAS NOT happening before that.. but wasnt happening immediately after the upgrade either... | 07:32 |
| WIGGMPk | hirak99: palomermore thoughts?? motherboard connection possibly?? | 07:32 |
| djhedges | WIGGMPk: different brands? | 07:33 |
| WIGGMPk | djhedges: the RAM? no, its 'made' by Apple but RAM is RAM | 07:33 |
| DasE1 | WIGGMPk: run a e2fsck from live with hd unmounted or check /var/sys/syslog for faulty drive | 07:33 |
| djhedges | not necessarily i've seen dimms that don't play well with others | 07:33 |
| DasE1 | WIGGMPk: /var/log/syslog for faulty drive ,sry | 07:34 |
| WIGGMPk | DasE1: running fsck -f -y from Live is usually how I get everything back to normal.. but ill look thru the syslog, but im horrible at that, should I look for something specific? | 07:34 |

| WIGGMPk | djhedges: but they are both made by the same company, both the same speed, amount, etc | 07:34 |

| Ruge | can i just install onto that? | 07:56 |
| danx0r | use xchat aksci | 07:56 |
| Slart | Ruge: you can install on any partition of sufficient size | 07:57 |

| djhedges | ogre: send us a pastebin of mount | 07:58 |
| korogiannos | Time to upgrade from hardy to 8.10? or not worth the hastle yet? Happy with hardy so far and scared to "break" things. Any opinions as to why NOT to upgrade yet? | 07:58 |
| poopoomouth | ubuntu is for losers | 07:58 |
| danx0r | this is driving me nuts. Suddenly I have to press fn+j to get j to print | 07:58 |

| poopoomouth | totally gay | 07:59 |
| WIGGMPk | DasE1: hate to be a nag, but does this rule out the possibility that its the RAM? and since this happened with a different hard drive, and a brand new one, would it be the motherboard connection then? | 08:00 |
| aksci | @ korogiannos, hardy is LTS, also upgrading has lots of cons... the unknown crashes n all.... so i preferd not to upgrade! :D | 08:00 |
| poopoomouth | for stupids | 08:00 |
| Slart | ogre: hmm.. only 1MB for /tmp ? no wonder it's not enough.. you'll have to do something about that | 08:00 |
| djhedges | WIGGMPk: it could be, i've seen it before | 08:00 |

| djhedges | ogre: try umount /tmp | 08:03 |
| djhedges | ogre: then run your program | 08:03 |
| DasE1 | WIGGMPk : if this happens frequently, you got to check your drive (smart) or special cmd's | 08:03 |
| mib_esa0gt9x | Slart that would depend on what disk the /tmp dir is mounted on | 08:03 |
| Slart | ogre: usually unmounting it and right-clicking on it will give you some kind of option to resize it | 08:04 |
| Slart | ogre: but it might get trickier than that.... | 08:04 |
| whynot | It's about firefox. It's running slower and slower. Somebody tell me how to make it faster, please. | 08:04 |

| bentob0x | yep | 08:14 |
| djhedges | wow | 08:14 |
| bentob0x | tried vim and all | 08:14 |
| djhedges | login & passwd should nothing to do with that | 08:14 |
| bentob0x | might be a problem with virtualbox tho | 08:14 |
| bentob0x | yes but it's a funny coincidence isn't it? | 08:15 |
| whynot | bentob0x: gedit is much better, isn't it? | 08:15 |

| whynot | RinTinTigger/ Did you try sudo su or gksudo nautilus? | 08:16 |
| mib_esa0gt9x | shadowwulffirst of all does it work in a live session? | 08:16 |
| shadowwulf | mib_esa0gt9x, it did ... and it worked on 8.04 ... i upgraded it and now the color is off | 08:17 |
| RinTinTigger | whynot i inserted a disk, an icon is shown, but as soon as i access the dribve it freezes and i cant eject the cd anymore and stuff | 08:17 |
| djhedges | 8.10 is buggy | 08:17 |
| whynot | RinTinTigger/What made me confused was using root account in ubuntu. | 08:18 |
| djhedges | you could like at using nv or nvidia | 08:18 |
| shadowwulf | djhedges, mib_esa0gt9x i know its the card ... but i cant rememeber what file i have to check and edit to fix it | 08:18 |
| RinTinTigger | whynot i dont understand | 08:18 |
| djhedges | shadowwulf: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:18 |

| === mars__ is now known as egoflux | ||
| shadowwulf | mib_esa0gt9x, yes i am | 08:19 |
| whynot | RinTinTigger/Actually, as a beginner myself, I'm not sure if this is gonna work for you. but just try gksudo nautilus in terminal. | 08:19 |
| RinTinTigger | whynot do u understand my problem?? i have inserted a cd in my drive, an icon is shown on desktop, when i access the drive i see all files, but as soon as i try to copy or something it freezes | 08:19 |
| djhedges | nino_q: can i ask why your running ipv6? | 08:19 |
| oakmac | What does "hash table keys for warning below:" mean? I'm seeing that error and a list of a few directories when I exit Nautilus running as root. | 08:19 |
| nino_q | djhedges: I want to try; perhaps allow IPv6 connections to my webserver | 08:20 |
| djhedges | nino_q: i've setup 6to4 tunnels on a router but that was 2 ipv6 networks with a ipv4 in the middle like the internet | 08:20 |
| RinTinTigger | whynot there are some errors and still cant acces cdrom | 08:20 |
| mib_esa0gt9x | shadowwulfi dont know about 8.10 but in 8.04 you could try running nvidis-settings | 08:20 |
| shadowwulf | djhedges mib_esa0gt9x tells me the nvidia driver is being loaded in the xorg.conf .... option no logo "true" | 08:21 |
| mib_esa0gt9x | nvidia-settings | 08:21 |
| whynot | RinTinTigger/if gksudo nautilus works for you, that's fine. if not, you need help from someone else. | 08:21 |
| shadowwulf | mib_esa0gt9x, i have to be able to see the desktop first ... or can i do that on a bash propmt | 08:21 |
| djhedges | nino_q: will the work without a public ipv6 address? | 08:21 |
| mib_esa0gt9x | shadowwulf the no logo entry just disables the splash screen | 08:21 |
| nino_q | djhedges: it's supposed to work... I followed this howto: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6 | 08:22 |
| djhedges | shadowwulf: i know theres 2 drivers one is nv & the other is from nvidia | 08:22 |
| kenois | anyone know of a repo that has openoffice 3.0 for hardy heron? | 08:22 |

| simon_b2 | hello all! how can i disable usb power saving? | 08:24 |
| mib_esa0gt9x | shadowwulf the correct line is printed in the default xorg file but i arnt sure if 8.10 has an xorg | 08:24 |
| nino_q | djhedges: 41 = IPv6 | 08:24 |
| faryshta | kenois, currently OO2.4 is quite better than 3.0, yet you can search here http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=openoffice | 08:24 |
| shadowwulf | mib_esa0gt9x, so what would be the way to reconfigure in general that sets up video and keyboard etc. from the bash prompt | 08:25 |
| egoflux | if i want to delete a kernel, do i just delete the entry in grub and the ekrnel? | 08:26 |
| djhedges | nino_q: i don't know i haven't played enough with ipv6, never with iptables | 08:26 |
| shadowwulf | djhedges, the last time i loaded this the nvidia driver did work ... but i have to reconfigure it | 08:26 |
| nino_q | djhedges: okay, thanks anyway | 08:27 |
| pranith | egoflux, use synaptic and delete it | 08:27 |
| pranith | egoflux, do not do it by hand | 08:27 |

| etfb | I'm a programmer, with loads of Windows experience. I want to program in Linux too. What language can I use that will let me do visual development like Delphi or Visual Basic, and produces stand-alone executables? Any suggestions? | 08:28 |
| djhedges | vb is horrible | 08:29 |
| faryshta | etfb, I use VIm but there is eclipse and openmono which can help you. | 08:29 |
| faryshta | check | 08:29 |
| faryshta | !eclipse | 08:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about eclipse | 08:29 |
| faryshta | !openmono | 08:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about openmono | 08:29 |
| djhedges | i'm not much on programming but ask the guys in #python | 08:29 |
| etfb | djhedges: We are in complete agreement about that! I'm a Delphi man, myself. | 08:29 |
| darkbishop_ | basic is abit lame | 08:29 |
| jim_p | !checkinstall | 08:29 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 08:29 |
| oakmac | etfb: I would choose a UI toolkit to develop your apps, like GTK+ or Qt | 08:29 |
| faryshta | really etfb what are you programming? | 08:30 |
| oakmac | etfb: then you can pick the language you want to write them in, say PHP, Python, C++, etc | 08:30 |
| egoflux | pranith, i can't find it on synaptic...its wierd because inever really installed that kernel, i was installing some modules for vitrualbox but it installed this new kernel...so i'm trying to get rid of it because it changed the entry in grub... | 08:30 |
| darkbishop_ | i think sdk platform kan run here as well as windows.. so u shuld try tat.. | 08:30 |
| egoflux | i aldready deleted the modules wuith synaptic | 08:30 |
| etfb | faryshta: I'm a language junkie: I can program in any of three dozen languages provided I have online help. So it's wide open. | 08:30 |
| oakmac | etfb: are you looking for cross-platform compatibility or developing specifically for Linux? | 08:31 |
| pranith | egoflux, what entries does the grub have? | 08:31 |
| etfb | My main requirement is to be able to produce something with a KDE/Gnome user interface. | 08:31 |
| darkbishop_ | etfb:then you can use sdk platform base program if you looking to do programming in linux then | 08:31 |
| djhedges | etfb: python will be your friend | 08:31 |
| darkbishop_ | i think bash programming is run in c rite | 08:31 |
| etfb | djhedges: What do you suggest for GUI programming in Python. | 08:31 |
| joaopinto | etfb, if you use Delphi I guess you are looking for RAD, try gambas | 08:31 |
| djhedges | etfb: never done gui | 08:31 |
| djhedges | etfb: just scripting in bash & python | 08:32 |
| etfb | joaopinto: What's gambas? | 08:32 |
| faryshta | etfb, if that is desktop applicatons I recommend QT if it is web applications I heard about Eclipse. | 08:32 |
| djhedges | etfb: i think python does some gui w/ gtk | 08:32 |
| faryshta | Personally I only use VIm. | 08:32 |
| etfb | djhedges: Admittedly, for command-line stuff I tend to use bash, Perl and Common Lisp. | 08:32 |
| joaopinto | etfb, it's a VB alike IDE for Linux | 08:32 |
| etfb | joaopinto: What languages does it support? And what window managers? | 08:32 |
| darkbishop_ | faryshta:emacs will do good to | 08:33 |
| faryshta | I have only 10 fingers darkbishop | 08:33 |
| etfb | faryshta: I'm an Emacs man, but I know my hjkl cursor keys for emergencies. | 08:33 |
| shadowwulf | mib_esa0gt9x, now i have a blank log in screen ... and once i log in ... the screen in blank ... | 08:33 |
| egoflux | pranith, its on my laptoop so cant copy paste...but there's two diferent kernels...thenew one is vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-openvz | 08:33 |
| egoflux | the other one is generic | 08:33 |
| joaopinto | etfb, it supports BASIC, and it provides GTK or QT interfaces, you don't develope specifically for GNOME/KDE, you developed either using GTK or QT, or something else :P | 08:33 |
| darkbishop_ | etfb:hear something about mono project earlierthis year.. its a program similier like vb for vb or vb.net programmer | 08:33 |
| pranith | in synaptic go to obsolete tab | 08:33 |
| joaopinto | etfb, http://gambas.sourceforge.net/ | 08:33 |
| pranith | there you will find this one | 08:33 |
| pranith | hopefully... | 08:33 |
| zosologist | is there any easyish way to change icons for spesific files? | 08:34 |
| egoflux | obsolete tab? | 08:34 |
| oakmac | I have a web server daemon running and I don't know what it is. How can I find out what's using my port 80? | 08:34 |
| darkbishop_ | zosologist: what way are u using now? | 08:34 |
| joaopinto | etfb, or, just use wxpython, python is a must know this days, and wxwidgets is a nice graphical lib, which is cross plataform | 08:34 |
| darkbishop_ | oakmac:tat would be ur webserver | 08:34 |
| zosologist | no way at all, i just dont care much to do it if its going to be complicated | 08:34 |
| darkbishop_ | oakmac: use nmap to scan ur port | 08:35 |
| zosologist | because i would like to do quite a few | 08:35 |
| etfb | joaopinto: I found wxwidgets to be quite unattractive to look at. Has it improved? | 08:35 |
| faryshta | oakmac, try to open a browser and on the url put http://localhost/ | 08:35 |
| sken | how can i watch videos in songbird? | 08:35 |
| etfb | joaopinto: I would certainly prefer Python over Perl; just need to spend a weekend getting fluent. | 08:35 |
| oakmac | There's a web server running, but it's not from my lampp installation. | 08:35 |
| sken | what gstreamer can i download? | 08:35 |
| darkbishop_ | wth is songbird? | 08:35 |
| darkbishop_ | !info songbird | 08:35 |
| ubottu | Package songbird does not exist in intrepid | 08:35 |
| joaopinto | etfb, python is FAR more friendly than perl :) | 08:35 |
| faryshta | etfb, try QtCreator. | 08:36 |
| darkbishop_ | !songbird | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird | 08:36 |
| joaopinto | etfb, wxwidgets looks nice, at least on linux, wxgtk | 08:36 |
| faryshta | !info eclipse | 08:36 |
| ubottu | eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 126 kB, installed size 416 kB | 08:36 |
| faryshta | !info qt | 08:36 |
| aksci | darkbishop,... its a browser integrated music player.... try googling | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Package qt does not exist in intrepid | 08:36 |

| joaopinto | darkbishop, songbird is available on getdeb | 08:37 |
| Peddy | Could someone PLEASE help me with a command that reinstalls all Pulseaudio packages? Thanks | 08:37 |
| joaopinto | lol etfb | 08:37 |
| sken | any help with songbird | 08:37 |
| joaopinto | Peddy, sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio | 08:37 |
| zosologist | darkbishop: then i assume there is no easy way? | 08:37 |
| etfb | Does Eclipse do languags other than Java? Java is the one sin I refuse to commit. | 08:37 |

| oakmac | I use lampp regularly, but somehow another web server is running right now (not my normal instance of apache from lampp). How can I figure out what's running as my web server so I can shut it down? | 08:37 |
| sken | i can't watch videos | 08:37 |
| joaopinto | etfb, there are eclipse plugins for, C++, PHP, Python, etc | 08:38 |
| sken | in songbird | 08:38 |
| faryshta | etfb, I have never used eclipse, the only IDE I have used are GTK and Qt. | 08:38 |
| sken | any clue about gstreamer | 08:38 |
| etfb | joaopinto: Do they let you do UI programming? Drag and drop form design, event handlers, etc? | 08:38 |
| joaopinto | etfb, but not for GUI design, as far as I know | 08:38 |
| faryshta | sken, what is wrong with gstreamer? | 08:38 |
| joaopinto | etfb, know, no GUI designer | 08:38 |
| etfb | joaopinto: Pity. | 08:38 |
| jim_p | has anyone tried to compile fatrat? | 08:38 |
| zosologist | also whats the best program to display widgets? | 08:38 |
| sken | i can't watch videos in songbird | 08:38 |
| zosologist | or is there one built into gnome, or ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| joaopinto | etfb, there aren't that much fully integrated IDEs on Linux, the usual approach is to have a code IDE, and a GUI designer, a different tool | 08:39 |
| linzhavon | install gnome-nettool ,and try.maybe it can help you. | 08:39 |
| etfb | joaopinto: Gambas looks promising though. Thanks! I'd never heard of it before. | 08:39 |
| sken | i installed flash player but nothing | 08:39 |
| Slart | sken: is it supposed to show videos? | 08:39 |
| etfb | joaopinto: That's probably why there are so few good GUI programs in Linux... | 08:39 |
| whynot | angryuser? I'm scared. | 08:39 |
| faryshta | Gstreamer is a collection of codecs, in order to install them all just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:39 |
| sken | yes | 08:39 |
| joaopinto | etfb, Gambas has an huge potential, it just doesn't get much credit because linux developers tend to be VB haters :P | 08:40 |
| faryshta | what is VB? | 08:40 |
| faryshta | !info VB | 08:40 |
| ubottu | Package vb does not exist in intrepid | 08:40 |
| whynot | visual basic, maybe | 08:40 |
| joaopinto | Fargh, Visual Basic | 08:40 |
| etfb | joaopinto: ALL developers are VB haters... After age 13. | 08:40 |
| angryuser | whynot: dont worry i dont bite ubuntu users | 08:40 |
| faryshta | Ahh. Yeah, I hate VB. | 08:40 |
| MindVirus | The Jewker: vy so seriyish vit you already? | 08:40 |
| abortd | anyone know how to use a bin file? | 08:40 |
| joaopinto | etfb, not really, I have used it until 23 :P | 08:40 |
| abortd | VB is nice | 08:40 |
| whynot | angryuser/what about window user? | 08:40 |
| darkbishop_ | aint bin file for windows? | 08:41 |
| darkbishop_ | !bin | 08:41 |
| joaopinto | abortd, you mean an executable .bin installer file ? | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bin | 08:41 |
| etfb | joaopinto: Next time you're visiting Windows, try Delphi. MUCH nicer. | 08:41 |
| faryshta | abortd, want to do what which what binary with which extension? | 08:41 |
| abortd | joaopinto: yes | 08:41 |
| abortd | it doesnt have a visible extension | 08:41 |
| joaopinto | etfb, VB came just after Pascal on my learning, so never had a chance to play with Delphi :P | 08:41 |
| Dr_willis | '.bin' extension means very very very little.. other then 'binary' :) its used way too much for too many things | 08:41 |
| faryshta | abortd, sudo chmod +x archive.bin; ./archive.bin | 08:41 |
| joaopinto | abortd, file archive.bin | 08:42 |
| abortd | what that do? | 08:42 |
| joaopinto | that will provide you some more details about the file | 08:42 |
| joaopinto | like wether its a binary, script, or something else | 08:42 |
| faryshta | abortd, gives permision of execution to your bin and then execute it. | 08:42 |
| abortd | what will joaopinto | 08:42 |
| angryuser | whynot: they dont have much future in front them | 08:42 |
| etfb | So: investigate Eclipse to check its RAD capabilities; investigate wxpython to see if it's no longer as ugly as before; try out Gambas; not a bad set of results for a few minutes of typing and reading. Thanks, all! | 08:42 |
| joaopinto | abortd, on the terminal type: file filename.bin | 08:42 |

| darkbishop_ | esperegu:login password is the 2 latest update from ubuntu | 08:53 |
| cheatcountry | where is the directory where the mounted hard drives are located? | 08:53 |
| joaopinto | espacious, your ubuntu repositories are signed with a GPG key, unless you manually added a repository from a 3rd party, you can only get updates from the Ubuntu master servers | 08:53 |
| esperegu | darkbishop_: thx. | 08:53 |

| faryshta | bmagoha, I think I can't help you, will have to probe it myself. Maybe is that you miss a step or done it on a wrong way. | 08:56 |
| jim_p | has anyone tried to compile fatrat? | 08:56 |
| joaopinto | probably it needs to be installed with root: sudo ./file.bin | 08:56 |

| Lin-Lin | Hello | 08:56 |
| joaopinto | jim_p, yes, I have some packages for it, but the libtorrent on ubuntu is broken, and it will crash after a few seconds | 08:56 |
| bmagoha | faryshta: ok | 08:56 |
| budgie | hey anyone had experience with bluetooth audio | 08:56 |
| joaopinto | abortd, it sets the file to executable, chmod = change mod, u = user, +x = assign executable | 08:57 |
| bmagoha | faryshta: now how can i uninstall from from the system? | 08:57 |
| abortd | ok thanks | 08:57 |
| faryshta | bmagoha, keep asking for help here, hopefully someone else knowus. | 08:57 |
| joaopinto | bmagoha, vmware provides a vmware uninstall script | 08:57 |
| faryshta | if you install it with the source. | 08:57 |
| jim_p | joaopinto: i can use it without torrent parameters. can i say my problem? | 08:57 |
| joaopinto | on the terminal type: vmware, and then hit the tab key | 08:57 |
| faryshta | then just open a terminal and go to the directory where it was saved. | 08:58 |
| cheatcountry | joaopinto, I tried that but its not there. I see it when I go to places > computer but when I'm in netbeans and trying to open a project, I can't find computer | 08:58 |
| abortd | joaopinto: when i do chmod u+x file.bin it doesnt work since there is no extension on the file | 08:58 |
| joaopinto | jim_p, fatrat only works with torrents, at least from my exprience | 08:58 |
| abortd | when i do chmod u+x file it works | 08:58 |
| faryshta | I mean: cd open-vm..... | 08:58 |
| abortd | it just skips a line | 08:58 |
| faryshta | then just | 08:58 |
| faryshta | sudo make uninstall. | 08:58 |
| joaopinto | abortd, so just, chmod u+x file (without the .bin) | 08:58 |

| ghostknife | We have a centralized samba share for mounting all the /var/cache/apt/archives of all the ubuntu machines. This allows less downloads when doing updates. We also have the repositories download from a centralized location. So we update the main machine, and then the other machines update from the local network. | 09:06 |
| fen` | ghostknife: why samba instead of http? | 09:07 |
| joaopinto | ghostknife, you should use an apt cacher service for that | 09:07 |
| Ruge | can someone give us a hand with Wubi? | 09:07 |
| Lin-Lin | Hello!!!^^ | 09:07 |
| joaopinto | using samba to share /var/cache/apt/archives may lead to concurrency issues | 09:07 |
| jim_p | joaopinto: where can i find the compiling options that made that deb in getdeb server? | 09:07 |
| fen` | joaopinto: does apt cacher not work at a local desktop level? or is it like debmirror? | 09:08 |
| budgie | borislav_simic: have you managed to get bluetooth audio to show up in sound preferences? | 09:08 |
| Lin-Lin | Please help me, i have a big problem | 09:08 |
| joaopinto | fen`, the apt cacher is set at some central desktop/server, and then you just poing your sources.list from the other clients to it | 09:08 |
| borislav_simic | sorry i have no bluetooth on my desktop | 09:08 |
| joaopinto | it will fetch just when required, it does not mirror like debmirror | 09:08 |
| joaopinto | it's more like a caching proxy | 09:08 |
| Lin-Lin | Hai?? | 09:08 |
| fen` | joaopinto: so its really just automating the core tool debmirror | 09:09 |
| joaopinto | fen`, I am not that familiar with debmirror | 09:09 |

| Lin-Lin | What you mean?? | 09:09 |
| ghostknife | Now is the first time we installed a clean machine in a long time. But it has to download 177mb of packages, even though all other machines are up to date. I assume apt is is deleting them | 09:09 |
| joaopinto | fen`, debmirror does a full archive mirroring, right ? | 09:09 |
| fen` | yes | 09:09 |
| ghostknife | fen`: so the machines don't have to store them locally | 09:09 |
| ghostknife | joaopinto: like which? | 09:09 |
| fen` | so apt-cache is on demand fetching? | 09:09 |
| ghostknife | fen`: ok. will check it out. thanks | 09:10 |
| wariskampar | how do i reset FF3 to default | 09:10 |
| whynot | LinLin/Just ask them. let them know what your problem is. | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | apt-cacher-ng is just a special http proxy, which keeps the archives on a local cache dir | 09:10 |
| Dr_willis | Its handy having one box on the lan being the main apt 'cache' | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | fen`, yes, it is, apt-cacher, not apt-cache ;) | 09:10 |

| fen` | pickett: vmware 6.5 linux and up has 3d support, but its experimental. | 09:12 |

| joaopinto | pickett, the directx support is still experimental | 09:13 |
| zosologist | is there a way to make other files launchable by just typing the name into the terminal like firefox? | 09:13 |
| Ruge | whynot: yep i have the ISO image, im extracting it to a folder on my desktop | 09:13 |

| whynot | ruge/why don't u burn it in a cd? | 09:14 |
| Bupsss | hi all | 09:14 |
| whynot | ruge/cd installation is much easier, I guess. | 09:14 |
| Ruge | whynot: my DVD drive is failing on my old laptop, and i have USB1, too slow | 09:14 |
| Dr_willis | Ruge, i dont think ti will work that way.. You can make a bootable thumbdrive very easialy also.. | 09:14 |
| co_eMo | shhhiittt | 09:14 |
| fen` | ruge, you can mount iso's with mount -o loop /mnt/iso /path/to/image.iso | 09:15 |

| ikonia | zosologist: about what ? | 09:17 |
| zosologist | my $path variable | 09:17 |
| Dr_willis | zosologist, you may want to spend an hr reading a few bash/shell/command line tutorials then.. this is fairly basic stuff. | 09:17 |
| zosologist | alright | 09:17 |
| ikonia | zosologist: if you do echo $PATH you'll see a list of directorys, anything in those directories can be executed by just typing the command | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Dr_willis: darn it ! | 09:18 |
| Dr_willis | zosologist, 'echo $PATH' to see your path setting. :) thats where it looks for command line commands. | 09:18 |

| paul68 | what is the best way to protect my server besides a good firewall against hackers? and plugging out the ethernet cable is not an option :-) | 09:21 |
| blueeagle | ...and if anyone knows why the installed kernel requires a cpu w/o pae I'd be glad if they shared. | 09:21 |
| blueeagle | paul68: Hello again. | 09:21 |
| ikonia | paul68 lock down users permissions, manage accounts, etc etc, obvious stuff | 09:21 |

| egoflux_ | savvas: i set it up to boot vista...but it says FATAl: no bootable medium found! system halted | 10:00 |
| nikki_ | egoflux_: Go to #virtualbox. | 10:01 |
| nikki_ | Ok guys, I'm off. | 10:01 |
| bmagoha | Dr_willis: do these drivers refer to a specific system or as long as u want to enable compiz? | 10:01 |
| ValentineXX | nikki_: it happened this valentine@Valentine:/usr/share/gwibber/ui$ | 10:01 |
| nikki_ | I have exams on the 22nd, wish me best of luck! | 10:01 |
| lox | bmagoha, sorry, dutch guy, in Mexico for 3 months, the English is lacking! | 10:01 |
| * ValentineXX nikki_ Good luck | 10:01 | |
| savvas | egoflux_: maybe you haven't set it to boot from the correct virtual hard drive | 10:02 |
| * nikki_ has left #ubuntu | 10:02 | |
| nikki_ | Haha NOT! :P | 10:02 |

| KillGuta | how do I share a file so the other PC (Windows) recognizes it? | 10:03 |
| Ruge | hey is it possible | 10:03 |
| Dr_willis | bmagoha, if you want the eye candy - you must have the proper 3d drivers for your video card installed. | 10:03 |
| Ruge | to boot from different HDD partitios | 10:03 |
| Ruge | partitions? | 10:03 |
| Dr_willis | KillGuta, i use samba to set up the users HOMES as shareed.. or set up a single share.. or use winscp on windows, and ssh on linux... | 10:03 |
| egoflux_ | savvas: well i didn;t have one so i created it... | 10:03 |
| KillGuta | Dr_wills how do I config it in an GUI? :D | 10:03 |
| egoflux_ | there's not really many options for that tho | 10:03 |
| bmagoha | Dr_willis: now how do i install them | 10:03 |
| Dr_willis | KillGuta, No idea.. in the time it takes a GUI to launch - i have the smb.conf edited... | 10:04 |
| Dr_willis | !nvidia | bmagoha | 10:04 |
| ubottu | bmagoha: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:04 |
| KillGuta | yours is working Dr_wills? could I have it? :D | 10:04 |
| bmagoha | Dr_willis: am using lenovo t61 | 10:04 |
| Dr_willis | KillGuta, you uncomment 4 lines in the smb.conf file.. and edit the name at the top.. and be sure to install the samba service | 10:04 |
| savvas | egoflux_: choose your virtual system, click on "Settings" and click "Advanced". change the boot order to be from the virtual hard disk | 10:04 |
| Dr_willis | bmagoha, i know nothing of intel video cards. sorry. | 10:05 |
| savvas | egoflux_: otherwise, you might need to reinstall vista again | 10:05 |
| AbortD | anyone know how i can setup a shortcut to a program and run it as root through the shortcut if possible? | 10:05 |
| Dr_willis | AbortD, make the icon launch 'gksudo commandname' | 10:05 |
| AbortD | heh what icon | 10:06 |
| Dr_willis | time to learn how to use gnome I guess.. :) | 10:06 |
| Dr_willis | drag one from a menu to the desktop | 10:06 |
| Dr_willis | !training | AbortD | 10:06 |
| ubottu | AbortD: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training | 10:06 |
| bmagoha | ubottu: am using lenovo. can the same drivers apply to it? | 10:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:07 |
| AbortD | thats 7.10.... | 10:07 |
| Dr_willis | AbortD, right click -> make new launcher.. seems VERY obvious | 10:07 |
| Dr_willis | AbortD, so? its not changed much.. | 10:07 |
| Ruge | Okay, my DVD drive fails, wont install, and i cant boot from USB with my laptop *sigh* | 10:07 |
| AbortD | yeah it would be obvious if i saw this make new launcher | 10:08 |
| Dr_willis | AbortD, or drag/drop an icon from the menus to the desktop/panel and customize it | 10:09 |
| AbortD | yeah that would seem like a better idea | 10:09 |
| Dr_willis | That menu item is here for me under 8.10 | 10:09 |
| AbortD | what are you right clicking? | 10:10 |
| Dr_willis | right click on the desktopp , create folder, create launcher, create new dodument, .. other items | 10:10 |
| Tankado | I have partioned my disk badly at the installation and now i have / at around 80% full and another partition /myname which has around 20 free GB, is there anyway to re partition it without reinstalling ? | 10:11 |
| AbortD | heh heh | 10:12 |
| AbortD | my eyes skipped over it | 10:12 |
| Tankado | :[ | 10:12 |
| jim_p | !bootchart | 10:12 |
| ubottu | bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot | 10:12 |
| Tankado | thanks | 10:12 |
| erki | Tankado: You could probably move or link some folders to the new partition. I have my home folder on a different partition, for instance. | 10:13 |
| Tankado | yeah that could work, but i am kinda new how do i do that? | 10:13 |
| Tankado | all the updates install at the main folder thats why i am worried | 10:14 |
| Tankado | i made it too small | 10:14 |
| KillGuta | How do I share files for Windows XP? :( :( :( | 10:14 |
| AbortD | thanks for the help Dr_willis | 10:14 |
| Dr_willis | KillGuta, you could install the samba pacakges and use the 'share folder' feature of gnome.. or set up the home shares.. | 10:15 |
| erki | Tankado: Updates shouldn't add to much files, it usually just replaces stuff. | 10:15 |
| gwenn | ubuntu is just fantastic!!!! | 10:16 |

| saruji | hello | 10:19 |
| saruji | how is everybody doing? | 10:19 |
| saruji | anyone here? | 10:20 |
| mercutio22 | bad | 10:20 |
| saruji | why bad | 10:20 |
| jin | my read speed from my hard drive is only 32MB/s isn't that a bit too slow for a HD? | 10:20 |
| saruji | is that directly from a hd? | 10:20 |
| saruji | huh | 10:20 |
| mercutio22 | lost my hard drive to windows partitioner | 10:20 |
| saruji | yea thats pretty slow but it really depends on where the info is on the platter | 10:20 |
| Kartagis | what's another channel besides #mozilla for asking about thunderbird? #mozilla is +i | 10:21 |
| saruji | the speed varies so an average is the best test | 10:21 |
| wene | i need help because my ubuntu 810 is killing my boot | 10:21 |
| erki | wene: In what way_ | 10:21 |
| erki | ? | 10:21 |
| saruji | um #thunderbird? | 10:21 |
| joaopinto | saruji, that's almost USB2.0 :P | 10:21 |
| saruji | what? | 10:21 |
| joaopinto | ops, was for jin , sorry | 10:22 |
| saruji | whatever mine flies as promised at 400 mb/s | 10:22 |
| wene | im using ubuntu without problem restarting without problem and suddenly without knowing, i cannot boot anymore on my ubuntu | 10:22 |
| saruji | ;) | 10:22 |
| joaopinto | wene, what error do you get when booting ? | 10:22 |
| wene | no boot system available | 10:22 |
| jin | saruji, 400mb/s =~ 50MB/s :\ | 10:23 |
| saruji | I have a question about my system, for some odd reason (and I think its bc I kept tweaking with stuff) whenever i reboot the system my network adapter reads as disconnected | 10:23 |
| jin | saruji, raptor drive? | 10:23 |
| saruji | me? | 10:23 |
| saruji | oh yes def | 10:23 |
| wene | im using refit under an imac alu and everything went fine until last night | 10:23 |
| wene | i have reinstalled and the problem came back | 10:23 |
| saruji | sorry jin I'm getting lost in the conversation | 10:23 |
| saruji | yes your right 400mb/s =~ 50MB/ | 10:24 |
| jin | saruji, what hard drive? | 10:24 |
| saruji | I always get that crap mixed up | 10:24 |
| balrog | anybody know of a good dark & glossy theme? | 10:24 |
| saruji | I'm running on an old raptor | 10:24 |
| torgrim_ | 122.73 MB/sec on a single SAS disk | 10:24 |
| saruji | hey guys any idea on why the network shows as disconnected after reboot? | 10:25 |
| Krym | Anybody familiar with lampp 1.6.8a with hardy, 8.04? | 10:25 |
| saruji | I then have to select ifupdown connection | 10:25 |

| jin | saruji, even if I buy one more drive and set it in raid 0, I can not get to the speed of your drive :( | 10:29 |
| jin | I think I'm gonna get a raptor then | 10:29 |
| saruji | I dont think a raid 0 would helps with a linux system | 10:29 |
| saruji | well wait | 10:30 |
| saruji | that depends | 10:30 |
| saruji | if you have a real raid card then yes it would | 10:30 |
| saruji | but if you have one of those nvidia raid thingies then no | 10:30 |
| jin | there is no difference between software raid and hradware raid really | 10:30 |
| saruji | there is on high end raid cards | 10:30 |
| torgrim_ | jin: depends ;) | 10:30 |
| torgrim_ | some "hardware" raid cards do most of the job in software anyway | 10:31 |
| saruji | but asus and gigabytes dont give you one in their chipsets | 10:31 |
| saruji | torgrim thats very true | 10:31 |
| torgrim_ | but more expensive cards with real cpus and support for more disks are faster in therory ;) | 10:31 |
| jin | torgrim_, but that job is done by the cpu... will not affect the read/write speed | 10:31 |
| joaopinto | those are not real hardware raids :P | 10:31 |
| torgrim_ | but then again, softwareraid on linux is very fast | 10:31 |
| saruji | but a SCSI setup with raid would be pretty sweet for loading times | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 10:32 |
| torgrim_ | jin: tell that to promise or some other crapcard maker ;) | 10:32 |
| saruji | yea so with a budget and linux you really dont need raid, in fact it just causes problems | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: not the initial boot, loading scsi bios takes tiiime | 10:32 |
| saruji | true | 10:32 |
| saruji | true | 10:32 |
| torgrim_ | today cpu power is cheap anyway | 10:32 |
| torgrim_ | i never have a problem with cpu anymore ;) | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | hdd access is a big bottleneck in systems | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | back in the day when it took 2-5 hours to compile kernels, then it was a problem | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | hehe | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | today, i barly have the use for faster cpu | 10:33 |
| saruji | yea me either, running on an old opteron processor :) but I could just as well be on an alphaxp i mean athlonxp processor | 10:33 |
| saruji | ;) | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | oh amd | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | amd it not really a computer | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | its just a cheaper clone ;) | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | </flame off> | 10:33 |
| torgrim_ | ;) | 10:33 |
| tbf | is that a know issue that dead keys don't work any more with intrepid? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | torgrim_: i love amd | 10:33 |
| saruji | true true | 10:34 |
| torgrim_ | how can you love a cpubrand? | 10:34 |
| saruji | lol | 10:34 |
| torgrim_ | when its slower also? | 10:34 |
| saruji | slower then what intel? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | torgrim_: not slower at all | 10:34 |
| torgrim_ | yes | 10:34 |
| jin | the raptor it is gonna be. thinking to get Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD, 73GB | 10:34 |
| torgrim_ | they are slower then intel ;) | 10:34 |
| saruji | oh you comparing intel to amd | 10:34 |
| saruji | lol | 10:34 |
| torgrim_ | we can compare them to arms cpus if you prefer | 10:34 |
| saruji | nah thats a consumer fanboy conversation i'm peeps | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | torgrim_: depends which cpus you compare and for what tasks, but its offtopic | 10:34 |
| torgrim_ | or alpha ;) | 10:34 |
| saruji | i'm out | 10:35 |
| torgrim_ | or mips | 10:35 |

| chills | rc.freenode.net | 10:35 |
| saruji | torgrim_ you really think that intel has a better designed chip? say Athlong64 dual to an intel | 10:36 |
| chills | oops wait | 10:36 |
| torgrim_ | saruji: no, i just say they are faster ;) | 10:36 |

| jin | ActionParsnip, a 73GB ssd drive cost alot :\ | 10:36 |
| ikonia | chills what command are you using to set the clock ? | 10:36 |
| saruji | oh true, <ends topic> | 10:36 |
| dman777 | in 'expand -t 2 textfile' what is meant by -t 2 tab stop? | 10:36 |

| ikonia | chills what interface ? | 10:37 |
| chills | gnome | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jin: you dont need massiveness for system drive, only data | 10:37 |
| ikonia | chills thats a desktop - explain how your setting the time please. | 10:37 |
| Krym | To the #ubuntu-offtopic channel1 | 10:37 |
| chills | right clicking on the clock on my desktop -> adjust time and date | 10:37 |
| jin | ActionParsnip, I need dualboot.. so I need atleast 30GB for windows + Ubuntu | 10:37 |
| chills | and clicking set system time | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jin: eww dual boot is nasty | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chills ok, so as I understanding (quick google on that error) it's setting your clock but not updating your bios/hardware clock | 10:38 |
| ikonia | is your desktop clock set tot he correct time ? | 10:38 |
| jin | ActionParsnip, any recommendation for ssd drives? | 10:38 |
| chills | ikonia, i set it to the right time but it goes back after a reboot i suspect | 10:38 |
| ikonia | jin please take it to the offtopic channel | 10:38 |
| jin | ActionParsnip, I know.. I have win xp in vmware on Ubuntu. runs fine.. but I still need to boot in Windows from time to time. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | chills because your hardware clock (bios) is off | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jin: any really, go with a brand you trust | 10:39 |
| ikonia | chills: try to use ntp to set the hardware clock time, or open the bios and manually set it | 10:39 |
| chills | i should turn it on from the bios? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | chills correct | 10:39 |
| chills | ah okay i wil try ntp if that doesnt work will do it manuall | 10:39 |

| ActionParsnip | dosingrat: did you md5 check the iso, did you check the cd for defects? did you check your ram for errors? | 10:51 |
| ikonia | mickep it will help them diagnose it, so worth putting in | 10:52 |
| stefodnb | ActionParsnip: there's just a bunch of wallpapers in it. how do i extract the deb that alien gives me? | 10:52 |

| males24overtime | hey | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: do you get ANY sound? | 10:53 |
| stefodnb | ActionParsnip: what if i don't wanna install it (since it's a crappy alien deb). just extract it | 10:53 |
| males24overtime | no | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | wariskampar: all good? | 10:53 |
| dosingrat | I downloaded the iso twice from different mirrors, checked MD5sum and it's correct, burned with xcdroast, and also by a command line according to instruction from Ubuntu official site, and it's the same each time I try to install - it suddenly switches to a shell. | 10:53 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: Yes, but only in Rhythmbox.. | 10:53 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: I'm listening to music now.. :P | 10:53 |
| wariskampar | is it possible to get back all the bookmark | 10:53 |
| ikonia | dosingrat are you trying to boot on a system raith raid disks ? | 10:53 |
| dosingrat | RAM and CDs are all good. Everything works, every burning, except this one. | 10:54 |
| dosingrat | no raid here | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | stefodnb: dpkg-deb -x <deb name> <location> | 10:54 |
| ikonia | dosingrat what video card ? | 10:54 |
| dosingrat | nvidia tnt64 | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: id check the sound config of each app | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | stalker | 10:54 |
| ubottu | stalker: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:54 |
| ikonia | dosingrat you may want to boot in verbose mode so you can see if there is anything flagged up | 10:54 |
| saruji | ikonia, do you know whats the line to add to /etc/network/interfaces to auto load an eth2? | 10:55 |
| === Teiseii is now known as Teisei | ||
| saruji | mine currently reads auto lo | 10:55 |
| saruji | iface lo inet loopback | 10:55 |
| saruji | iface eth2 inet dhcp | 10:55 |
| saruji | i need to add an auto load command | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dosingrat: you could maybe disable acpi before you boot the desktop cd | 10:55 |
| ikonia | saruji can you pastebin your current file | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | dosingrat | 10:55 |
| ubottu | dosingrat: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 10:55 |
| saruji | paste bin my file you mean copy it into here/ | 10:56 |
| saruji | ? | 10:56 |
| saruji | auto lo | 10:56 |
| saruji | iface lo inet loopback | 10:56 |
| saruji | iface eth2 inet dhcp | 10:56 |
| saruji | thats all it reads | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: no pastebin is this | 10:56 |
| dosingrat | Is there a possibility that I am trying to install on a blank HD; previously there was some other OS. WHat should I do with that HD ? I deleted all data, not it's blank. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | saruji | 10:56 |
| ubottu | saruji: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 10:56 |
| dosingrat | How to prepare the old HD ? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: you need auto eth2 | 10:56 |
| moncojhr | is their a way to make a folder(symlink?) that sorts a bunch of other folders? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: so it comes up at boot | 10:56 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip yes | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 10:56 |
| saruji | yes auto eth2 | 10:56 |
| dosingrat | yes ActionParsnip, I tried all boot options | 10:56 |
| isky | jjjjjjjjj | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: you dont put that in your pasteings | 10:57 |
| isky | ʲôÈË | 10:57 |
| dosingrat | that's why I am here, simply because I don't know what else to do | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dosingrat: then you could look at disabling unnecessary hardware in bios | 10:57 |
| isky | study | 10:57 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip ok I didnt know sorry | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: you could make a script to do what you do to make it work and add it to startup | 10:58 |
| saruji | ok i'm in the file what do i add? | 10:58 |
| gauravkumar | how do i limit access to internet only to specific ips on my local network? | 10:58 |
| dosingrat | what might be unnecessary hardware in bios ? | 10:58 |
| stefodnb | ActionParsnip: cheers | 10:58 |
| saruji | ah ok | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: auto eth2 | 10:58 |
| saruji | whatah lol cool do I need to remove iface? | 10:58 |
| moncojhr | is their a way to make a folder(symlink?) that sorts a bunch of other folders? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: no, you need that | 10:59 |
| isky | ¶¼ÔÚ½²Ê²Ã´°¡°¡Ìý²»¶®°¡ | 10:59 |
| dosingrat | ok, thank you. | 10:59 |

| saruji | so i should auto load now right? | 10:59 |
| paul68 | gauravkumar: you can do that with IPtables | 10:59 |
| saruji | or do i need a script? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: it will come up at boot, you can test with a reboot if you want | 10:59 |
| saruji | ok thank you so much | 10:59 |

| ActionParsnip | np man | 11:00 |
| saruji | I have a question, why use gksudo instead of just sudo? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: its used for guii apps, sudo is for terminal commands only (cp, mv, apt-get ) | 11:01 |
| wariskampar | @ActionParsnip; luckily i use FoxMark...just sync it back to mynew FF | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: using sudo for gui apps doesnt set up the environment correctly and can damage permissions and ownerships | 11:01 |
| wariskampar | thanks so much | 11:01 |
| gauravkumar | paul68: thanks | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: you can technically use gksudo for cli apps too | 11:01 |
| apadox | <apadox> why do I get this when trying to enable restricted ati driver http://paste.ubuntu.com/71778/ | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | wariskampar: np man, glad its cool again | 11:02 |
| cYmen | does gdm set a keyboard layout? | 11:02 |
| moncojhr | is their a way to make a folder(symlink?) that sorts a bunch of other folders? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: lots of guides say sudo gedit which is WRONG | 11:02 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: so ig i am using sudo any_gui_program, this is not working correctly? | 11:02 |
| wene | my ubuntu is not booting anymore .... how to turn a pation to bootable ? | 11:02 |
| saruji | ah I see so I should only use gksudo in an xserver enviorment? | 11:02 |
| cYmen | moncojhr: what do you mean? you can create a folder with symlinks to other folders in it...does that help? | 11:03 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: What is wrong about it? | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | !sudo | 11:04 |
| ubottu | 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) | 11:04 |
| moncojhr | cYmen, i want to make a folder that sorts a bunch of other folders | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | C0p3rn1c: it can ruin permissions and ownerships so users dont own their files etc so they cant login or even the system may not boot | 11:04 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: When I write "lspci -v | less" in Terminal, it tells me that my audio device is "nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)". I'm not using the built-in sound card, my subwoofer has a built-in sound card. | 11:04 |
| saruji | ah i c sweet | 11:04 |
| moncojhr | cYmen, for instance a folder that only shows files in some other folder from this money | 11:04 |
| saruji | like learning more and more about linux | 11:04 |
| Falcons_roost | What is newer the intel p8400 or the T9400 moblie processors | 11:04 |
| moncojhr | cYmen, *month | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: what make / model are the speakers? | 11:04 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: I only use sudo gedit to edit /etc/ files | 11:04 |
| cYmen | moncojhr: That's not possible. | 11:05 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: Bose Companion 5 | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | C0p3rn1c: its not advised | 11:05 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/speakers/computer_speakers/companion_5/index.jsp | 11:05 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip: you need sudo access to edit them, how else would you do it ? | 11:05 |
| cYmen | moncojhr: To be precise it is not possible with traditional methods. You could easily write a script that generates such a folder with links or when it's working adequately well use nepomuk. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | C0p3rn1c: gksudo gedit or sudo nano | 11:05 |
| bazhang | C0p3rn1c, use gksudo | 11:06 |
| C0p3rn1c | ah ok thx | 11:06 |
| C0p3rn1c | I'll remember it | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: you could disable the onboard sound in bios | 11:06 |
| moncojhr | cYmen, ok yes id want to generate the links i suppose, ill have a look what nepomuk is... | 11:06 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: Do you think that will fix the problem? | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: if you are using a PCI card instead | 11:06 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: Also, are there a lot of people having problems with USB speakers (they're not so common)? | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: ive seen some, i dont like them | 11:07 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: Is there a possibility that future versions of Ubuntu will have better speaker support? | 11:07 |
| Dr_willis | Ive yet to see USB speakers.. :) unless ya count the ones i have that are just usb powered... | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: the speakers plug into a soundcard surely? | 11:08 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, like the usb headsets only bigger. :P | 11:08 |
| Stalker72 | ActionParsnip: There's a sound card in the subwoofer. | 11:09 |
| Dr_willis | I rember ages ago when usb-speakers were to be the next big thing.. but they never took off.. till they statrted making Usb mic/headsets | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | i dont get why usb speakers exist, we've had soundcards with 3.5mm jacks forever and it works REALLY well | 11:09 |
| Stalker72 | Dr_willis: My speakers connect using only a power cable and a USB cable. :P | 11:09 |
| apadox | why do I get this when trying to enable restricted ati driver http://paste.ubuntu.com/71778/ | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Stalker72: then websearch for linux users who have set them up, or contact bose | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | Stalker72, Mine uses USB for power.. and the normal audio jack. about as cheap a set of speakers as a company includes with the systems. :P | 11:10 |

| digitalice | but i cannot install :S | 11:29 |
| sabaua | it stucks at the start and shows only : root@pcname-desktop:~# | 11:29 |
| jbu311 | anyone know the command to print out partitions and hard drive UUIDs? | 11:30 |
| Haegin | morning all | 11:30 |
| Dr_willis | !uuid | 11:30 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 11:30 |
| bazhang | digitalice, did you use this disk to install before? is this a fresh install or an upgrade to a new version; have you tried the alternate cd, as it will do well when the livecd chokes | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sabaua: run dmesg | less and see if there are any errors | 11:31 |
| jbu311 | Dr_willis, thanks | 11:31 |
| digitalice | fresh install | 11:31 |
| sabaua | dmesg? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sabaua: you could also try booting grub to recovery mode for the kernel used and select fix xorg | 11:31 |
| digitalice | and i did not used the alternate cd | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sabaua: if you type: statx in that prompt, do you get a gui? | 11:31 |

| ActionParsnip | Some_ux: http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_to_Setup_Your_ubuntu_Computer_to_be_a_Router | 11:36 |
| Haegin | Some_ux: set up the cable modem then take a look at dns-masq for dhcp and dns forwarding | 11:36 |
| Some_ux | Thank ActionParsnip | 11:36 |
| Some_ux | however, I read what must be at least 20 articles and walkthroughs | 11:36 |
| Some_ux | none which work | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Some_ux: in the long run a true router is cheaper in electricity | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Some_ux: as if the system is off, the other systems get no WAN | 11:37 |
| Some_ux | ActionParsnip: Since the Ubuntu box runs all the time, it actually saves electricity if i only use it instead of it and the router | 11:37 |
| cYmen | How does adding a keyboard with evdev/hal work? I got a new microsoft ergonomic 4000 and my old config does not apply. | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Some_ux: fair point | 11:38 |
| Some_ux | As i understand, l2tp is no longer supported, and now the standard is xl2tp | 11:38 |
| cYmen | The problem is the config seems ok but the keyboard is found by evdev/hal/whatever later on xorg startup and then a default config is used... | 11:38 |

| Some_ux | as | 11:57 |
| barak | i have search the web and the ubuntu forum and i cant find the answer | 11:57 |
| === barak is now known as m2a-vm | ||
| ikonia | emma check the nvidia drivers are loaded, as just because they are installed doesn't mean they are loaded or in use | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | m2a-vm: try lspci to see what soundcard you have then websearch that | 11:57 |
| emma | ikonia: how does one check that? With sudo lshw | less ? | 11:58 |
| ikonia | emma: also check the monitor EDID information, as if that is not provideing solid output then the card won't know what that monitor is capable | 11:58 |
| ikonia | emma: no, do an "lsmod | grep nvidia" | 11:58 |
| emma | ikonia: okay. | 11:59 |
| === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander | ||

| ahughe3s | but I can play around | 12:03 |
| ikonia | emma: ok so now look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look if there is a Driver "Nvidia" line in there | 12:03 |

| Dr_willis | one mans bloat - is anothers manss must have eyecandy | 12:05 |
| ahughe3s | damn straight | 12:06 |
| bazhang | ahughe3s, then audacious | 12:06 |
| ikonia | emma ok, two things stand out ehre, 1.) it's a GT7600 card which has had driver issues in the past - the second is that this config was created with nvidia settings rather than letting the xorg "auto detect" the info - it has hard coded optiosn such as Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0" | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: eyecandy is for girls | 12:06 |
| Haegin | is it possible to get a dhcp server to hand out hostnames to everyone that connects without knowing any mac addresses? | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ahughes: the bloat is stored on the hard drive | 12:06 |
| emma | ikonia: so the card has issues.. | 12:07 |
| fabio | e | 12:07 |
| fabio | exit | 12:07 |
| ikonia | emma no the card will work - it's just "driver fussy" | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | fabio: try /exit | 12:07 |
| fabio | thx | 12:07 |
| ikonia | emma: the main thing for me would be first of all strip the xorg config down and let xorg autodetection manage as much as possible | 12:07 |
| ohmygod | who can help me? when I open a gnome-term on desktop, it will turn to gray, and the tool bar on desktop don't refresh,then my full desktop don't refresh | 12:08 |

| ikonia | emma: looking at the config file it's hard coded stuff anyway, one of the things is the metamode | 12:11 |

| ActionParsnip | ohmygod: do you use gnome or kde? | 12:15 |
| Myrtti | ohmygod: your problem is NOT compiz | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrtti: i'll let you handle it then | 12:15 |
| bazhang | digitalice, I would try the alternate cd at this point | 12:15 |
| samphippen | Myrtti, I know right | 12:15 |

| samphippen | I'm having a graphics problem, I have a 1280*1024 monitor but the maximum resolution ubuntu will give me is 1024*768 I have a gt7600 graphics card, can anyone help me | 12:16 |
| samphippen | i've got some pastes of config and stuff | 12:16 |

| samphippen | Myrtti, dont i know it | 12:16 |
| samphippen | I appreciate it | 12:16 |
| ikonia | samphippen: so for me you have 2 issues, one your card is fussy about drivers, | 12:16 |
| ikonia | samphippen: 2.) your xorg.conf nees to be stripped down so we can see where it is failing | 12:17 |
| bazhang | digitalice, please keep this in channel | 12:17 |
| digitalice | ok | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | could try envyng-gtk | 12:17 |
| bazhang | digitalice, try the alternate cd and see if that fixes it | 12:17 |

| samphippen | ikonia, http://dpaste.com/90714 and http://dpaste.com/90716 | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ohmygod: you could install tilda | 12:18 |
| ikonia | samphippen I've seen them, emma posted them in here | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ohmygod: til you get a resolve | 12:18 |
| samphippen | heh | 12:18 |
| samphippen | ikonia, shall I run xfix? | 12:18 |
| ikonia | samphippen: no ? | 12:18 |
| samphippen | kk | 12:18 |
| ikonia | samphippen: you just need to go back to a default xorg.conf from 8.10 (your using 8.10 aren't you) ? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | samphippen: then we can work forward | 12:19 |
| samphippen | I am | 12:19 |
| samphippen | ikonia, I think I found it | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | samphippen: http://pastebin.com/f1b772a3a | 12:19 |
| ikonia | samphippen ahh good | 12:19 |
| ohmygod | ActionParsnip, No,I mean is when I open gnome-term , it will turn to gray, then don't responsed. | 12:19 |
| samphippen | ikonia, dpaste.com/90717 | 12:19 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip thats not a default config | 12:20 |

| donald | Can anyone tell me if ndiswrapper can be used to load a driver for the Lexmark 4850 not supported in Intrepid? | 12:20 |
| Myrtti | ohmygod: I'm afraid it might be that in order to resolve your problem, it might be necessary (or easiest) to reinstall the whole system. I'd like to know though, why you've enabled root account? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | samphippen that looks much better | 12:20 |
| samphippen | ikonia, i'll swap my current with that one then | 12:21 |
| digitalice | http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1015515.html i wll try to re burn the ISO | 12:21 |
| ikonia | samphippen: so you now need to add the line Driver "nvidia" to the video card section | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: but i use nvidia at 1024x768 with full 3d accell | 12:21 |

| samphippen | ikonia, which section does driver go in? | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: just figured itd be a good starting point | 12:21 |
| samphippen | Device Monitor or screen | 12:22 |
| ikonia | samphippen: under the line Configured video device" | 12:22 |
| samphippen | dpaste:90718 | 12:22 |
| ohmygod | Myrtti,use passwd to change the root's password. | 12:22 |
| samphippen | ikonia, is that right? | 12:22 |
| ikonia | samphippen looks good | 12:22 |
| Myrtti | ohmygod: but *WHY* | 12:22 |
| Myrtti | !rootsudo | ohmygod | 12:22 |
| ubottu | ohmygod: 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) | 12:22 |
| Myrtti | !root | ohmygod | 12:23 |
| samphippen | ikonia, i've done that | 12:23 |
| ubottu | ohmygod: 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 | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ohmygod: if you install tilda it will give you a cli environment so yuo can diagnose stuff from cli | 12:23 |
| ikonia | samphippen ok, now restart so Xorg reloads | 12:23 |
| samphippen | not just ctrl-alt-bkspacE? | 12:23 |
| donald | Can ndiswrapper be used to load the proprietary driver for the Lexmark 4850 into the Intrepid kernel? | 12:23 |
| Myrtti | samphippen: or logout and when in login screen, ctrl-alt-bkspace | 12:24 |

| ikonia | DarkKnight: ./$name_of_file | 12:55 |
| ikonia | samphippen Option "NoLogo" "False" | 12:55 |
| ikonia | samphippen: sorry - my mistake | 12:55 |
| orgthingy | anyone knows how to use pan "newsreader" thingy? | 12:55 |
| samphippen | ikonia, it's all good | 12:55 |

| Dr_willis | orgthingy, check its docs/homepage? :) | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | orgthingy, you know the name of your news server? | 12:56 |
| orgthingy | you think i didnt? :P | 12:56 |

| orgthingy | as i said, im new to this thing | 12:56 |
| orgthingy | and im kinda interested | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | orgthingy, yes.. :) its amazing what people expect programs to do these days. | 12:56 |
| orgthingy | because it has a nice name (XD) | 12:56 |
| DarkKnight | okkk ther's somthin wrong....maybe....can u tell me wer i can get the APT line for this | 12:57 |
| orgthingy | Dr_willis : ive been using linux for years and suddenly got interested in pan xD | 12:57 |
| samphippen | ikonia, so to double check the line should be exactly `NoLogo "False"` | 12:57 |
| Pelo | orgthingy, off the top of my head, you'll first need to add your ISP news feed to the app, somewhere in file or in preference, or maybe else where, along with your login and password, from tehre you will behave access to the newgroups of your isp and you can subscribe to those you want | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | well ya need a newgroup server. some isps still have them.. some free ones exist | 12:57 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight there isn't one | 12:57 |

| ikonia | DarkKnight: type "pwd" and it will show you where you are | 13:00 |
| samphippen | ikonia, I got a flash of the nvidia logo for like a microsecond | 13:01 |

| samphippen | ikonia, what next? | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | ValentineXX, 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' pacakge - <-- that is the package name use the package manager | 13:01 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; this is the output; /home/roshan/Desktop | 13:01 |
| ikonia | samphippen ok just to summerise, a.) we know you have the drivers loaded b.) we know your xorg.conf wants to use the drivers 3.) we nkow the 177 package supports the 7300 card | 13:01 |
| ValentineXX | Dr_willis: ok | 13:01 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: do "ls $filename" | 13:01 |
| samphippen | ikonia, 7600 | 13:01 |
| zoyd | hi, what's the apt source for warty? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | samphippen: sorry 7600 | 13:02 |
| jrib | zoyd: warty is way past EOL. Use intrepid or hardy | 13:02 |
| samphippen | ikonia, it's all good | 13:02 |
| ikonia | samphippen: so then all I can assume is that your monitor needs to be forced into xorg | 13:02 |
| ikonia | samphippen: if you look in /var/log/ you should see an X or xorg directory | 13:02 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; ouput: flexbuilder_linux_install_a4_081408.bin | 13:02 |
| ValentineXX | Dr_willis: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:02 |
| ikonia | samphippen: I've not got an ubuntu machine to check | 13:02 |
| === mixed is now known as Mixed77 | ||
| zoyd | i have http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main universe | 13:02 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: so "sudo chmod 750 flexbuilder_linux_install_a4_081408.bin" | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:02 |
| jrib | zoyd: did you read what I said? | 13:03 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 25 (intrepid), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB | 13:03 |
| bazhang | zoyd, no that is eol | 13:03 |
| samphippen | ikonia, no x directory, i've got some Xorg.x.log files where x is a number or the word failsafe | 13:03 |
| bazhang | !eol | zoyd | 13:03 |
| ubottu | zoyd: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 13:03 |
| zoyd | jrib: yes, but i have an old machine that's i can't upgrade | 13:03 |
| ikonia | samphippen thats it | 13:03 |
| ikonia | samphippen: lets look at that log | 13:03 |
| zoyd | i just need a few packages | 13:03 |
| samphippen | shall I paste iot? | 13:03 |
| jrib | zoyd: you should not be using warty. Warty no longer receives security upgrades | 13:03 |
| ikonia | samphippen Hmmm can you pastebin it ok ? | 13:03 |
| bazhang | zoyd, eol means not supported | 13:03 |
| Simon1245 | Hi all, Does anyone know a good Partition recovering Program? | 13:03 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: as I told you earlier, the data is gone | 13:04 |
| samphippen | ikonia, dpaste.com/90728 | 13:04 |
| zoyd | bazhang: thanks, didn't know that | 13:04 |
| Simon1245 | Ikonia: It isn't | 13:04 |
| ikonia | samphippen give me a few minutes to go through this | 13:04 |
| bazhang | zoyd, get gutsy, hardy or intrepid | 13:04 |
| ikonia | Simon1245 how do you know ? | 13:04 |
| samphippen | ikonia, just give me a highlight | 13:04 |
| Simon1245 | A guy who was helping me said the data is there but it will not show you something like that | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: you can use testdisk and dd_rescue to recover the partition to an image | 13:05 |
| zoyd | i'm assuming there's no warty apt source anymore | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Simon1245 the data is gone | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: you should have a backup if the data is important | 13:05 |
| bazhang | zoyd, correct, they are gone | 13:05 |
| gilster | simon1245: hi. | 13:05 |
| gilster | simon1245: how did the partition get deleted | 13:05 |
| Simon1245 | Gilister: Hi :) | 13:05 |
| zoyd | bazhang: k, thanks | 13:05 |
| Simon1245 | I don't know really | 13:05 |
| ValentineXX | FloodBot3: hi | 13:06 |
| Simon1245 | I didn't do anything bad i thinik | 13:06 |
| samphippen | Simon1245, did you reformat? | 13:06 |
| Simon1245 | Think* | 13:06 |
| gilster | simon1245: i have recovered lost partitions before | 13:06 |
| Simon1245 | No | 13:06 |
| samphippen | Simon1245, did you use a program to delete the partition? | 13:06 |
| gilster | simon1245: it is not 'necessarily' gone. | 13:06 |
| Simon1245 | How did you do it Gilister? | 13:06 |
| bazhang | Simon1245, the date is gone. If you have backups, then you are good. | 13:06 |
| gilster | simon1245: just take abreather everyone here is just trying to scare you | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: this is looking good for the card....looking like the monitor | 13:07 |
| Simon1245 | No it worked yesterday i just got an error when i tried to login in the newest kernel | 13:07 |
| Simon1245 | Now i cant do anything | 13:07 |
| samphippen | ikonia, did you mean me? | 13:07 |
| ikonia | samphippen: yes | 13:07 |
| === santos is now known as santi | ||
| samphippen | ikonia, well the screen does do 1280*1024 under winblows | 13:07 |
| gilster | simon1245: So, partitions can at times be recovered depending on the circumstances. I have done that for my work several times | 13:07 |
| samphippen | ikonia, so I know it's at least possible | 13:08 |
| ValentineXX | How to change my computer name? | 13:08 |
| gilster | simon1245: you will need a partition software tool. | 13:08 |
| hateball | ValentineXX╸ sudo nano /etc/hostname for permanent change | 13:08 |
| arisv | hello people. if sb has time, maybe can check my problem: http://www.nabble.com/zd1211rw-and-TP-Link%27s-TL-WN322G-td19626368.html | 13:08 |
| arisv | thank u in advance | 13:08 |
| samphippen | hateball, can that only be done once? | 13:09 |
| Simon1245 | Do you know a partition tool? | 13:09 |
| ohmygod | ActionParsnip, many program is all not responding, not only termial. | 13:09 |
| ValentineXX | hateball: what do you mean by permanent change? | 13:09 |
| bazhang | ohmygod, why enable root account | 13:09 |
| gilster | ok do you know anything about partition tables | 13:09 |
| samphippen | ikonia, so what's next? | 13:09 |
| ikonia | samphippen still reading, it's a big file | 13:10 |
| samphippen | ikonia, kk | 13:10 |
| Simon1245 | No :( | 13:10 |
| gilster | simon1245:ok do you know anything about partition tables | 13:10 |
| Simon1245 | I'm new | 13:10 |
| hateball | ValentineXX, samphippen: I should have said persistant after reboot :) if you want a temporary change it's just: sudo hostname <newname> | 13:10 |
| ohmygod | ActionParsnip, I'm going to upgrade my system to try to solve the problem | 13:10 |
| samphippen | hateball, awesome | 13:10 |
| ikonia | samphippen: FYI: line 175 is the critical lines | 13:10 |
| ohmygod | bazhang, my normal account cann't work. | 13:10 |
| arisv | anyone? | 13:10 |
| samphippen | ikonia, I see | 13:11 |
| ikonia | samphippen your monitor is giving out bogus EDID info | 13:11 |
| delfick | hello, does anyone have a problem in firefox 3.03 in intrepid where choosing "view source" in the right click menu does nothing (and if so, how to fix it :)) ?? | 13:11 |
| bazhang | ohmygod, use sudo | 13:11 |
| ikonia | samphippen: let me work out how to approach this | 13:11 |
| bazhang | ohmygod, dont enable root account | 13:11 |
| === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin | ||
| ValentineXX | hateball: sudo nano /etc/hostname newname ? | 13:11 |
| gilster | oh well here is the long and short of it. If your partition table is intact after simply deleting a partition then it 'could' be recovered using programs like Acronis paragon etc. but if you have erased the partition and have written on top of it. then its a no go | 13:11 |
| samphippen | ikonia, I had an issue with one of the pins on my monitor before, I thought I got it properly aligned again | 13:11 |
| samphippen | but it may just be perma-fucked | 13:11 |
| ikonia | samphippen careful with the language | 13:11 |
| samphippen | oops | 13:12 |
| samphippen | my bad | 13:12 |
| bazhang | gilster, what is acronis paragon | 13:12 |
| Simon1245 | Gilister: Ok | 13:12 |
| ohmygod | bazhang, yes, that do | 13:12 |
| hateball | ValentineXX╸ no... nano could be replaced with text-editor of choice. /etc/hostname is the file that stores the name | 13:12 |
| ikonia | samphippen: the pin shouldn't cause bad edid info, but it could stop the info being given | 13:12 |
| bazhang | samphippen, please no cursing | 13:12 |
| gilster | bazhang: acronis and paragon are two different companies that make Partition tools similar to gparted | 13:12 |
| samphippen | ikonia, yeah it looks like it's properly aligned | 13:12 |
| ValentineXX | hateball: which editor is in my ubuntu? :-s | 13:12 |
| gilster | a bit more extensive | 13:12 |
| iamelite | Hello everyone. Can someone point me in the direction of learning how to host an *.iso* for yaboot on a remote machine? btw might i just say, that you guys have thought me a great deal by helping me, thanks. | 13:12 |
| bazhang | gilster, that is not good advice | 13:12 |
| gilster | bazhang: why/? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | samphippen: what I'd like to try to do is hardcode/force your xorg.conf to be set to the right resolution | 13:13 |
| samphippen | ikonia, that's just fine | 13:13 |
| gilster | whats not good advice | 13:13 |
| bazhang | gilster, those are ##windows programs | 13:13 |
| samphippen | ikonia, will that last over a dist-upgrade? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | samphippen: let me do a little bit of working out | 13:13 |
| gilster | dude please | 13:13 |
| ohmygod | bazhang, if I login desktop by normal account, many program will be not responding. just root account can work. | 13:13 |
| gilster | those are NOT windows programs | 13:13 |
| ikonia | samphippen sure, your xorg.conf doesn't get touched | 13:13 |
| gilster | those are boot programs | 13:13 |
| bazhang | gilster, dont recommend windows programs in here please | 13:13 |
| samphippen | ikonia, in that case let's do it | 13:14 |
| gilster | bazhang: one more time those are not windows programs | 13:14 |
| ikonia | samphippen: just let me work out how to approach it, I've not done this for a long time and I'm quiet rusty | 13:14 |

| ValentineXX | after editing some file in nano how to save? | 13:16 |
| gilster | Simon1245: as i was saying a partition table stores information on your harddrive about partitions if you deleted a partition and did not overwrite it with a new one. the info on the old one will still be there. if you have re-written to the hard drive a new file system | 13:16 |

| fragspaz | i followed a tutorial and installed ndiswrapper and the respective wusb54gv4 wireless card drivers on ubuntu 8.04... i could see the wireless networks, but could never connect, but after the installation of the drivers and ndiswrapper, my wireless card seems to be ignored... what i didn't consider was the fact i'm running 64bit and i didn't download 64bit drivers. is this a problem? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Frogging101: you only remove the one that looks sound related | 13:30 |

| ikonia | samphippen: ok, what I'd like to do is give ubuntu a better chance of auto decting first, before forcing anything | 13:40 |
| fragspaz | is the problem in the drivers or ndiswrapper | 13:41 |

| zammel | i have a trouble to install jbuilder | 14:14 |
| slayton | for some reason when I upgrade my system through synaptic one package on the list isn't upgraded.... when I upgrade using apt and the cli it works fine... | 14:14 |
| RizR | again--> anyone had experience with big desktop (specially on an ati card)? | 14:14 |
| slayton | does anyboy know what might cause this? | 14:14 |
| ather90 | hey all | 14:15 |
| ather90 | one question | 14:15 |
| RizR | emphasizing on big desktop because it is known to work with compiz :-) | 14:15 |
| ather90 | wtf wont the new version install on my pc | 14:15 |
| ather90 | im installing it using "wubi" | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | slayton: maybe the downloaded package for the upgrade got garbled, | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | slayton: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --reinstall install <package name> | 14:16 |
| remoteCTRL | can anyone recommend me a supersilen graphics card for a ubuntu media pc? should transmit audio via hdmi? | 14:16 |
| zammel | a have this errors whenre trying to install jbuilder : http://paste.ubuntu.com/71861/ | 14:17 |
| slayton | ActionParsnip, so I can easily install the packages from the command line, when I run apt-get upgrade it works fine.... but everytime I run update through synaptic the last package on the list doesn't get installed and I keep getting prompted to install it, and the only way i can then install it is to use the command line | 14:17 |

| rbd | hi guys. I have a VM running on a host. I need a way to share files between the two where permissions and file modes are preserved. it needs to be fast too. VM shared folders are out because they don't preserve permissions. I've looked at NFS and iSCSI, any other alternatives? | 14:21 |

| _bt | hi | 14:22 |
| Jeaton | ok, i installed wubi and it seemed to went fine, anyway, i booted to ubuntu and inputted my username and password, and it takes me to a screen with just a wallpaper? | 14:22 |
| _bt | what has replaced "shared folders" on ibex? | 14:22 |
| Jeaton | any ideas | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | rbd: mount / map network drive to the LAN ip of your network interface on the host | 14:22 |
| ty | slayton hands ty a / ? | 14:22 |
| slayton | Jeaton, how long have you been waiting? | 14:22 |
| Jeaton | 20 minutes | 14:22 |
| odinsbane | rbd did you consider sshfs ? | 14:22 |
| slayton | Jeaton, hmmm.... | 14:23 |
| Abracadabra | Hi | 14:23 |
| rbd | odinsbane: no, let me check it out | 14:23 |
| Abracadabra | how do I enable the mouse wheel ? | 14:23 |
| Jeaton | im able to change my sessions before i login, but i get nothing on any of them | 14:23 |
| Jeaton | other then when I can for a failsafe terminal | 14:24 |
| rbd | ActionParsnip: using what? NFS or something else? | 14:24 |
| Jeaton | s/can/call | 14:24 |
| slayton | Jeaton, I know nothing about wubi... I don't know your current situation but if I were you I'd use the live cd to resize your partitions then just install ubuntu on its own partition | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rbd: whatever they are shared with | 14:25 |
| Jeaton | yeah, i was thinking about doing that option | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rbd: i believe you may be able to just browse to them from the guest though if you configure it right | 14:25 |
| Jeaton | how much pain is it to resize an already existing partition? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Jeaton: not bad, backup data just incase and boot to livecd o do it | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !gparted | Jeaton | 14:26 |
| ubottu | Jeaton: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 14:26 |
| slayton | Jeaton, its VERY EASY | 14:26 |
| Jeaton | ok | 14:26 |
| __Roberto | hy | 14:26 |
| slayton | boot the live cd and use the Gnome Partition Editor Jeaton | 14:26 |
| LLMP | what is a good cd ripper sound juicer or ruby ripper | 14:27 |
| LLMP | ? | 14:27 |
| slayton | Jeaton, but defrag your HDD before you do it | 14:27 |
| Jeaton | ok | 14:27 |
| slayton | Jeaton, depending on how much data you have on your HDD and how much needs to be moved the operation can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours | 14:27 |
| __Roberto | virus kan be in ubuntu or not | 14:27 |
| __Roberto | ??????????? | 14:27 |
| slayton | Jeaton, once you tell the partition editor to GO don't stop it or you can lose information | 14:27 |

| slayton | __Roberto, if you download programs from random websites and install them without verifying who you are installing software from you ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS but if your smart and only install software from the repos you should be fine | 14:30 |

| __Roberto | okey | 14:31 |
| Pici | __Roberto: You only need to worry about a virus scanner if you are using your Ubuntu install to serve files to Windows clients and want to spare them from being infected. Linux does not have a problem with viruses like Windows does. | 14:31 |
| Pici | LLMP: Please don't spread FUD. | 14:31 |
| Stalker72 | Dr_willis and slayton: thx | 14:31 |

| Pici | .. | 14:49 |
| Pici | !feedthetroll | 14:49 |
| ubottu | The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. | 14:49 |
| LjL | please, report in #ubuntu-ops not here | 14:49 |

| binarymutant | so when will Ubuntu see screenshots in synaptics? It's already in debian | 14:51 |
| Rada | binarymutant: Add the debian sources to your sources.list | 14:52 |
| Rada | :) | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Rada: no advised | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !debian | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | binarymutant: see above | 14:53 |
| whynot | btw, can I talk about the first default ubuntu thema picture? | 14:53 |
| xBoy | savvas: here are the links http://pastebin.com/d18287510 and http://pastebin.com/d63dabe30 | 14:53 |
| odinsbane | peace | 14:53 |
| whynot | Does it represent intrepid or something? | 14:53 |
| SOURdiesel | which is better XChat IRC or XChat-Gnome IRC? | 14:53 |
| whynot | It looks scary. | 14:53 |
| tehgeek | SOURdiesel: In my experience, the "Gnome" one is wonky and the XChat works just as it should | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | SOURdiesel: plain xchat | 14:54 |
| savvas | xBoy: and then it just stops compiling? | 14:54 |
| gangsterlicious | why is it when i boot into single user mode "vi" is NOT available and "nano" is? | 14:54 |
| slayton | You can block the PM's by running /mode <yournick> +E | 14:54 |
| whynot | I changed my default desktop picture with another one, my own flower picture. | 14:54 |
| gangsterlicious | i don't recall when was the last time i single-user into any *nix that vi isn't availablew | 14:54 |
| SOURdiesel | thanks. i was wondering if it was me or the app when i tried to use XChat-Gnome before. | 14:54 |
| scunizi | gangsterlicious, try vim and see if it's available.. | 14:54 |
| binarymutant | Rada, plus idk if it's in the repo yet just got word today | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | gangsterlicious: maybe in recovery only bins in /bin are avable and not those in /usr/bin ?? | 14:54 |
| trupheenix | i have run into a strange problem where i activated the bicubic filter in compiz and my entire screen got garbled. how do i disable the bicubic filter from the terminal? | 14:55 |
| slayton | trupheenix, try in #compiz they should know | 14:55 |
| jrib | gangsterlicious: I don't see how that can be as vim-tiny is installed by default and vi is a symlink to it | 14:55 |
| xBoy | savvas: no it go on and make the apache mod, but when I use the mod it don't work | 14:55 |
| [mbm] | xBoy: there's probably a warning about a missing header file before that bit | 14:55 |
| tehgeek | whynot: That's nice. I doubt you're the only one who likes to customize their desktop. =) | 14:55 |
| sajt | platius: There is a new virtualbox app | 14:55 |
| sajt | virtualbox-2 | 14:56 |
| jrib | gangsterlicious: except maybe /usr/bin/ is not in your path :o Just call /usr/bin/vi then | 14:56 |
| gangsterlicious | jrib: yea, absolute works | 14:56 |
| xBoy | savvas and [mbm]: on Debian it work fine | 14:56 |
| [mbm] | xBoy: do you understand what I said? | 14:57 |
| xBoy | savvas and [mbm]: I use this tut http://www.vinno.net/linux/server/how-to-install-mod-security-2 | 14:57 |
| whynot | tehgeek/ Actually it looked like a monster. | 14:57 |
| tehgeek | whynot: It's an ibex. | 14:57 |
| scunizi | sajt, they're up to version 2.04.. not that new | 14:58 |
| xBoy | [mbm]: yes I understand you but what or where I look for ?!? | 14:58 |
| sajt | scunizi: It is looks like work | 14:58 |
| whynot | tehgeek/ my current desktop picture is yellow flowers among rocks in mountain. I think those flowers reminds me of the linux. rocks=window user, flowers=linux and linux user | 14:59 |
| savant | Is there some fix available for the terrible terminal fonts? Or perhaps an alternate font, which works well | 14:59 |
| scunizi | sajt, you have a link to what you're looking at? | 14:59 |
| savvas | xBoy: no idea, if you can't find anything, maybe you can ask their support mailing list: http://www.modsecurity.org/contact/ | 14:59 |
| [mbm] | xBoy: it would be printed before those errors that you put in the pastebin | 14:59 |
| xBoy | savvas: thanks | 15:00 |
| xBoy | [mbm]: what suggest you? | 15:01 |
| tehgeek | whynot: Yes, Linux does have some flower-like qualities about it, doesn't it. Much more than ibex traits. | 15:01 |
| scunizi | sajt, if it's this site then I can say that Vbox isn't that difficult.. they even have a repo that you can add to your sources.. http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 15:01 |

| scunizi | samphippen, never heard of that one.. you have an unusual problem.. duh!.. you've probably read the video card tutorials.. somewhere in there they talk about adding lines to xorg to set the monitor up correctly. especially if xrandr doesn't detect it correctly. Try that yet? | 15:07 |

| ubottu | Mba7eth: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:08 |
| LjL | Bullen: you should think of the fact that you really only have a reason to back up your /home directory, unless you did stuff manually in /usr (which you shouldn't), and perhaps /etc if you changed stuff there. to replicate your software selection, just see !cloning | 15:08 |
| Myrtti | Mba7eth: texmaker, emacs, gedit with plugins | 15:08 |
| Rainarrow | dekkong_, ok so you could pair with your phone but can't write to it right? | 15:08 |

| Rainarrow | dekkong_, what phone? | 15:11 |
| bzrk | emilien: fdisk, change type | 15:11 |
| Rainarrow | dekkong_, when you try to send the file, the computer should prompt you to pair with the phone first | 15:12 |
| Rainarrow | dekkong_, then ask if you want to receive the file | 15:12 |
| dekkong_ | Rainarrow: yes I have done that | 15:12 |

| whynot | what's going on? | 15:13 |
| msk | whynot ? | 15:13 |
| Rainarrow | dekkong_, are you running Intrepid? do you have bluetooth applet installed?(The bluetooth icon on the notification area) | 15:13 |
| Myrtti | whynot: do you have some questions about Ubuntu or problems with the usage of it? | 15:13 |
| emilien | amortvigil, il have a quick google | 15:13 |

| Smell | can anyone help me with a sound issue? Fresh install and i have no sound | 15:14 |
| bzrk | how else? | 15:14 |
| tehgeek | bzrk: If you change a type in fdisk it just changes a "label" on it which is arbitrary and may or may not reflect its actual formatting. | 15:14 |
| Rainarrow | bzil, he'll still need to format the partition after changing it's format flag | 15:14 |
| dekkong_ | Rainarrow: yes Intrepid and I have the bluethooth applet.. I can send files from the computer to the phone | 15:14 |
| whynot | myrtti/Not now. Actually I have so many, because I'm a linux beginner. | 15:14 |
| amortvigil | bzrk: with a proper plugin? | 15:14 |
| bzrk | changing the type of a partition without backup is insanity anyway | 15:15 |
| Rainarrow | dekkong_, wait for me to do a quick test myself, and what phone are you using? | 15:15 |
| bzrk | so yes, fdisk -> change type -> copy data | 15:15 |

| Rainarrow | dekkong_, check if you have the package "gnome-bluetooth" installed | 15:20 |
| thiebaude | smell:not sure what it is | 15:20 |
| Prose | Myrtti: it's because ubuntu isn't friendly user enough for some people using the box and because some apps just run better in doze | 15:20 |

| msk | myrtti....thing is...it happens occasionally ..not always... | 15:22 |
| Rainarrow | Prose, to me it's basically the time needed to boot Windows, on my Thinkpad T43 Windows takes about 5x more time to boot than Ubuntu | 15:22 |
| Myrtti | Prose: for example, I can't upgrade my phone on Virtualboxed Windows, but can do it on VMWare etc. | 15:22 |
| Ahtenus | is there a channel for ubuntu server? | 15:22 |
| bzrk | msk: could be misconfiguration, network problems | 15:22 |
| chr12is05 | firefox keeps closing on me unexpectedly. am running hardy. where can I find the error for this logged? plz anyone :( | 15:22 |
| scunizi | Prose, I prefer to work in ubuntu as my primary os. But because of work I need access to IE6+ for a lot of the sites I need to use. Everything else I can do in linux.. I keep the dual portion around for backup and games. | 15:22 |
| dekkong_ | Rainarrow: THX now it works :) | 15:22 |
| Rainarrow | Prose, since you need all the anti-virus and anti-malware to keep Windows safe | 15:23 |
| Rainarrow | dekkong_, nevermind | 15:23 |
| msk | bzrk..so ..what can i do...now ? | 15:23 |
| geirha_ | Ahtenus: Don't think so, but you can ask questions regarding Ubuntu Server here. | 15:23 |
| Ahtenus | okef | 15:23 |
| Ahtenus | y | 15:23 |
| Myrtti | msk: check the logs. | 15:23 |
| Prose | advice sounds fair enough | 15:23 |
| Pici | Ahtenus: #ubuntu-server exists, but you can ask questions about it here as well. | 15:23 |
| bzrk | msk: check the relevant logfiles and see if anything relevant is in there | 15:24 |
| billybigrigger | how do i kill all my open ssh connections? i must have forgot to logout, now when i ssh into my other box i have 2 logins... | 15:24 |
| scunizi | Prose, I just started using vbox and like it.. to make it more functional you have to get it direct from them.. that is, if you want usb support | 15:24 |
| billybigrigger | now i have pts/1 always logged in and now a new login gives me pts/2 pts/3, how can i kill all these open connections? | 15:24 |
| msk | bzrk...where are these logfiles ? | 15:24 |
| Myrtti | msk: /var/log | 15:25 |
| erUSUL | billybigrigger: you can kill the process attached to the pts/1 ?? | 15:25 |
| Prose | scunizi: I've used vbox and with some minor tweaks got usb support and I like it also :) It's sad that it doesn't give access to hardware acceleration but I guess it's the nature of the beast | 15:25 |
| scunizi | Prose, vmware server & player doesn't either... that is .. hardware acceleration | 15:26 |
| Ahtenus | I am trying to make my apache server use ssl (self certified) using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/httpd.html#https-configuration but when i run the command openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt it returns: server.csr no such file or directory | 15:26 |
| billybigrigger | erUSUL, i just want to kill the connections... | 15:26 |
| jojo3 | hello i use akgregator and each time there is some "new feed", i have to check both "unread" and "new" feeds to be sure i didn't miss one, what should i do/ how can i configure it, to avoid this.. and read only ONE folder ? | 15:26 |
| Myrtti | Ahtenus: well, do you have server.csr -file in the directory you're running the command in? | 15:26 |
| Prose | is there anything between dual-booting and vbox or vware virtualization that permits hardware acceleration ? or are these the only two discrete levels :D ? | 15:26 |
| Myrtti | virtualisation doesn't do hardware acceleration, period | 15:27 |
| Ahtenus | Myrtti: no but isnt it supose to create it? | 15:27 |
| Myrtti | Ahtenus: it creates server.crt, not server.csr... | 15:27 |
| AbortD | how do i locate a file in repos through terminal without installing it | 15:27 |
| scunizi | Prose, vmware has products that allow for hardware acceleration. Most are paid products. They do have something I think called ESX server which is free and is it's own linux distro.. sortof.. | 15:28 |
| eventmaster | hello i have a logitech pc clear chat wirelees headset | 15:28 |
| Myrtti | AbortD: apt-file | 15:28 |
| geirha_ | billybigrigger: fuser /dev/pts/* will show you the pids of the processes using those devices | 15:29 |
| Ahtenus | Myrtti: okey, so what shuld i do then? | 15:29 |
| Myrtti | Ahtenus: http://www.digicert.com/csr-creation-apache.htm | 15:29 |
| eventmaster | how can i config that it work | 15:29 |
| erUSUL | billybigrigger: sudo apt-get install && sudo cutter serverip 22 | 15:29 |
| AbortD | Myrtti: thanks | 15:29 |
| Prose | scunizi: seems to be a lot of trouble for nothin (in my case). dual-booting wins | 15:30 |

| Haegin | is it possible to get a dhcp server to hand out hostnames to everyone that connects without knowing any mac addresses? | 15:31 |
| Whitor | Hi. I'm having a problem after upgrading to Intrepid. It seems that the only wireless network I can connect to is the one which I was connected to during the upgrade. anyone have any ideas ? Is there a file that is locked somehow and can only connect to one network ? please help. | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | Roconda: like POV Ray ? | 15:32 |
| cYmen | My keyboard layout is reset every few minutes..I cannot pinpoint the problem. It seems the definition in my xorg.conf doesn't apply to my keyboard. I cannot use the gnome manager because it doesn't display my custom layout... | 15:32 |

| jason__ | Quick question. When trying to minimize anything (Firefox, etc.), the window just disappears. Any idea what I need to do? | 15:33 |
| Prose | scunizi: nah, no games, it's a laptop .. but I need apps like iTunes for ipods and phone software and so on | 15:33 |
| oussema | in my case some programs that use Gtk+ causes the X server to be restarted when they re executed | 15:34 |

| south_korea | @jason__ you need panel i think | 15:34 |
| south_korea | @jason__ im' not sure | 15:34 |

| jason__ | I have a single panel setup on the bottom of my screen. I've never had a problem with minimizing until now. | 15:35 |
| south_korea | right :P | 15:35 |

| scunizi | Prose, check out songbird and gtkpod for ipod support.. also Rockbox.. | 15:35 |
| Rainarrow | argh finally got my problem solved by myself. Thanks anyway, it seems you need leave no partitions on a media larger than 4GB if you want to create a USB startup disk on it | 15:35 |

| Kristia1 | ok | 16:20 |
| ikonia | Meshach: you shouldn't need to restart anything | 16:20 |
| ikonia | Meshach: are you sure other updates, such as a kernel update didn't come down with it | 16:20 |
| oussema | Kristia1: then write: nameserver 193.95.66.10 (replace this ip by the one of your dns ) | 16:20 |

| tim__b | erUSUL on my 8.04 there's only cpufreq-selector. vladtsepesh84 the package you need is called "cpufrequtils". simply to "sudo apt-get instal cpufrequtils" in a terminal | 16:41 |
| lexaux | y. i've got 1945 working on intrepid | 16:41 |
| theundecided | I am having problems connecting to the internet via wifi | 16:41 |
| slayton | !wifi | theundecided | 16:42 |
| ubottu | theundecided: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | tim__b: the other command comes via cpufrequtils | 16:42 |
| profanephobia | how can i convert an iso image to a cue image? | 16:42 |
| govinda | network manager says wireless is disabled. | 16:42 |

| cramop | hi would you give me suggestions for Ubuntu shipping pc vendors in the USA | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | cramop: dell | 16:42 |
| crushell | profanephobia, google that one, pretty sure you'll find something easy | 16:43 |
| Meshach | What is the quickest way to tell your ip address with the terminal? | 16:43 |
| crushell | Meshach, ifconfig | 16:43 |
| profanephobia | crushell, no all i've been able to find is iso to cue | 16:43 |
| profanephobia | crushell, i mean cue to iso | 16:43 |
| cramop | erUSUL, any else by any chance? | 16:43 |
| Knifa | What is the "{a}" next to package names while installing things with command like aptitude? | 16:43 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: Heyyy I can see logs of other computers from /var/log/samba | 16:43 |
| theundecided | is there a link to connect to a already setup router. I just need to connect to it not set it up | 16:44 |
| gangsterlicious | . | 16:44 |
| TopBunny88 | I think my motherboard biosa needs an update however i can't update it unless reinstall Vista | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | cramop: there was another... system76 iirc | 16:44 |
| south_korea | !fedora | 16:44 |
| ubottu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 16:44 |
| vladtsepesh84 | i have done cpufreq-set powersave but the cpu percentage is 42% it is still to much hight | 16:44 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: I can see Michael-Laptop, the sony, and other ones with my local ip adresses | 16:44 |
| Twinkletoes|W | Have the noobs gone who automatically open private chat Windows when you say something? | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | TopBunny88: most flash updaters work on DOS too | 16:44 |
| cramop | erUSUL, cool thanks if you have even more I'd be interested | 16:45 |
| Vinceman | hi, since I use Ubuntu 8.10 I can no longer enter the body of my hotmail e-mails, do you have the same problem? | 16:45 |
| south_korea | neighborlee, hi? are you korean? | 16:45 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: yes, browsing doesn't normally affect the connection to the shares, just the ability to 'see' them. Most common problem is multiple (windows) machines all thinking they are the master browser, but even ubuntu will try this, if you configured it in smb.conf (Wins server = x.x.x.x) | 16:45 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: So the cure, would be to..? | 16:45 |
| south_korea | !menu&console | 16:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about menu&console | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | TopBunny88: so you can do as described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 | 16:46 |
| TopBunny88 | IsthereawayIcanembedaterminalsessiononmydesktop? | 16:46 |
| genii | TopBunny88: You can d/l from bootdisk.com a bios-flashing friendly boot image. Then from linux burn a bootable cd using the floppy disk image as the one to use. Then put the bios bin file and the flash cli update exe on there as well. | 16:46 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: elect ONE machine to be master browser, turn off all the others. Then restart SMB on all machines (windows needs to reboot) | 16:46 |
| neighborlee | south_korea, nope Im not, but thx for the hi and back at ya ;)) | 16:46 |
| Vinceman | third time's a charm | 16:46 |
| Vinceman | hi, since I use Ubuntu 8.10 I can no longer enter the body of my hotmail e-mails, do you have the same problem? | 16:46 |
| theundecided | is there a way to easaly connect wirelessly to a already setup router like windows does it | 16:47 |
| Myrtti | Vinceman: elaborate, with which browser, client etc | 16:47 |
| ultrahex | Vinceman: this probably does not have to do with Ubuntu precisely but with firefox or the browser in which you are using | 16:47 |
| TopBunny88 | gencha^, DoesbootdiscdotcomhavethelatestbiosforthrHppavilliona6230n | 16:47 |
| natbet | is it possible to make your terminal truly transparent without compiz? | 16:47 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: How would I do that? All the other computers are running windows except one.. | 16:47 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: Sorry, I should of let you know before | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | genii: in the how to i linked they use freeDOS FDOEM.img mount it in loop; cp the flash ulitlity; umount; burn bootable cd | 16:47 |
| redheat | thank you all for your help folks.. | 16:48 |
| Knifa | what does the {a} next to package names while installing things with aptitude in the command line mean? :[ | 16:48 |
| crushell | TopBunny88, http://www.tectonic.co.za/wordpress/?p=1719, embed your terminal in desktop with devilspie | 16:48 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: in windows turn off computer browser service. In ubuntu, you configure the WINS server options in smb.conf. | 16:48 |
| tim__b | vladtsepesh84 how to you control your cpu usage? cause afaik it for example 45% of the actuall clocking of your cpu. my cpu is at 800mhz at the moment and is used to 50%, meaning 50% of 800MHz. | 16:48 |
| Vinceman | I use firefox | 16:48 |
| profanephobia | how can i convert an iso image to a cue image? | 16:48 |
| sinan | how can i format a partition? | 16:48 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: So how would I make the modem the master machine? | 16:48 |
| erUSUL | !iso | profanephobia | 16:48 |
| ubottu | profanephobia: 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. | 16:48 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: I do not understand the question? | 16:48 |
| vladtsepesh84 | tim__b: the cpu freq monitor pannel tell me the percentage of cpu usage | 16:49 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: Because right now with windows the modem is considered the master browser | 16:49 |
| smoovep | Anyone has dual monitors in ubuntu? thx | 16:49 |
| crushell | smoovep, i do... took some work though. :( | 16:49 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: the modem? What is the make and model? | 16:49 |
| smoovep | crushell: did you use xinerama? seems to be the only option out there.. | 16:50 |
| profanephobia | erUSUL, none of those covers what im needing to do | 16:50 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: It is a Motorola Surfboard, I can find out the model # if you want | 16:50 |
| xomp | hey folks, my mom needs to see if her 56k modem is installed in ibex, is there a way to see if it's installed? | 16:50 |
| crushell | smoovep, i'm using nvidia-settings with my nvidia card.... | 16:50 |
| tim__b | vladtsepesh84 44% is the lowest level i can get with my cpu too. it's the smallest stepping your cpu got. i don't believe that you can get lowser then that on windows. | 16:50 |
| Vinceman | Myrtti, ultrahex anyway, it's not really a problem, I'll just stop using hotmail | 16:51 |
| Meshach | vladtsepesh: Perhaps get a better battery? | 16:51 |
| smoovep | crushell: I have an nvidia card with two output as well.. the vga works fine.. the dvi does not.. | 16:51 |
| pochi | I just did an update (update-manager) and now X won't run (8.10) | 16:51 |
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, did you do a partial update? | 16:51 |
| crushell | smoovep, did you try setting them up in the nvidia-settings manager? | 16:51 |
| NetTroller | having a problem with Konversation and nvidia driver 96.43.09 in intrepid - is anyone else useing that combination? | 16:51 |
| pochi | booksbuggy_: no, all 79 packages was installed | 16:51 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: thats a cable modem, it doesn't have any other functionality, or does it have it's own router? | 16:51 |
| smoovep | crushell: yeah.. it doesn't show up... let me double check.. | 16:51 |
| Ubuntu_rulez | Hello!! I want to install a Squid server but when I open Synaptic I can see there are two options. One is Squid 2.6.8 and the second is 3.0 Stable. Don't know which one to choose :o | 16:51 |
| vladtsepesh84 | tim__b: ok thank you very much | 16:52 |
| tim__b | you're welcome, vladtsepesh84 | 16:52 |
| xomp | hey folks, my mom needs to see if her 56k modem is installed in ibex, is there a way to see if it's installed? (x3) | 16:52 |
| smoovep | crushell: its there.. its says disable.. im trying to activate it right now.. | 16:52 |
| vladtsepesh84 | Meshach: i know i have to buy a better battery but i was only try to compares windows battery life to ubuntu battery lyfe | 16:52 |
| booksbuggy_ | someone help pochi with the x server thing | 16:53 |
| booksbuggy_ | i don't know about that | 16:53 |
| NetTroller | everytime the screen refreshes (i.e. joins/parts etc) all the names disappear from the nick list - I click on a blank nick and they all reappear for a second..and right clicks show dashes with no words? | 16:53 |
| vladtsepesh84 | thank to everibody | 16:53 |
| crushell | smoovep, yeah. nvidia-settings manager doesn't like the new xorg.conf file... | 16:53 |
| Meshach | Jeruvy: The wire from the modem goes directly to a router and some computer plugin to that router, then it goes to another router with more computer and so on | 16:53 |
| Jeruvy | xcomp: lspci | 16:53 |
| pochi | I was thinking maybe I should reinstall X, but I don't know what to write (usually uses synaptic for that stuff) | 16:53 |
| crushell | smoovep, i can't tell you exactly what I did but i had to let the nvidia-settings manager write it's own xorg.conf file. really annoying | 16:54 |
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, well this site shows some of the things | 16:54 |
| Meshach | vladtsepesh84: Well, it seems that you wouldn't get an accurate reading with a bad battery.. | 16:54 |
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-37103.html | 16:54 |
| slayton | pochi, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 16:54 |
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, not sure if it is going to help | 16:54 |
| pochi | booksbuggy_: slayton: ty, I'll try | 16:54 |
| Jeruvy | Meshach: ok, so if the router can elect to be a master browser, thats a good choice. But check its settings. Your modem shouldn't even see this traffic :) | 16:54 |
| === slayton is now known as slayton_lunch | ||
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, back up your files first | 16:54 |
| pochi | booksbuggy_: what files? | 16:55 |
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, well important documents and that sort of stuff | 16:55 |
| pochi | oh, ok :) | 16:55 |
| booksbuggy_ | pochi, with the live cd and a flashdrive or harddrive | 16:55 |

| Myrtti | sushil: your message was too long, it got cut off | 16:58 |
| booksbuggy_ | zaxl, you can install startup manager | 16:58 |
| booksbuggy_ | it helps with the resolution part | 16:58 |
| booksbuggy_ | which i was stuck with a while ago | 16:58 |
| zax1 | booksbuggy_: where do i find hat ? | 16:58 |
| zax1 | that* | 16:58 |
| theundecided | is there a more apropriat place to ask questions about wifi and connecting to it? | 16:59 |
| booksbuggy_ | zaxl, try backing up your system first though | 16:59 |
| xomp | christ, how many times does one have to repeat a simple question before getting a response around here? | 16:59 |
| booksbuggy_ | zaxl, because you never know if something is going to happen | 16:59 |

| Slart | theundecided: depends on what the problem is... if you want to know how to configure your router, this might not be the place.. if you're looking to setup ubuntu for wireless access this is the place | 16:59 |

| Jeruvy | Meshach: in /etc/samba/smb.conf you'll see two entries for WINS. One elects to make the machine a master browser, the other tells this machine who is the master browser, only use ONE of these according to your choice | 17:00 |

| lassesandberg | got a question here, i got ubuntu 7.10 ,the latest wine you can get for that in repository or as .deb package is 1.0.0 , later versions are only released for 8.04-8.10 . however im reluctant to upgrade to that.. is there any way i can get the newer wine versions to run? if i just download the deb package and try to install it asks for dependencies i dont have who are not present in repository either :S | 18:07 |

| slayton_lunch | albuntu the easiest way is to use repository managing software, try falcon its pretty simple to use and is in the repos | 18:12 |
| lassesandberg | norbert79 thanks but i know of that, dont think you understand my problem. please look at this page : http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html . the latest for each ubuntu version is the same as you can get in the repositories for each. but the highest wine version available for any ubuntu version below 8.04 is 1.0.0 . i need 1.1.4 | 18:12 |

| AlanBShepard70 | norbert79: Ok cool. | 18:13 |

| oOarthurOo | pw-: You have to be careful. If you remove evolution and it then removes ubuntu desktop, you're system will be fine. But since you've remoevd ubuntu desktop it may then assume you don't want any of its dependent packages, and so if you try and autoremove unused programs you'll find that synaptic tries to remove the whole system. | 18:25 |

| LF|Irssi | i have to agree on the bluetooth part | 18:28 |
| oOarthurOo | pw- Then you can safely remove the smaller programs you don't want, like evolution. Be careful though, there is one evolution part that is required for gnome. The data server if I recall correctly. Just go slow and check what packages are being auto removed by your changes. | 18:28 |

| lifestream | ubd, 5 to 10 gb is you have separate home partition. | 18:35 |
| slayton | ubd, i'd put 15-20 gb for / the rest for /home | 18:35 |
| faryshta | ubd it depends on how many programs you want to have installed. And if you wanna keep a database there. | 18:36 |
| oOarthurOo | ubd: I have 5GB set up for everything but home. | 18:36 |
| promethalus | any dutch dudes in here? | 18:36 |
| faryshta | for a regular user 10Gb should be enough. | 18:36 |

| uffo | Hello i purchased Compaq Presario CQ60 but Ubuntu 8.10 wont launc and shows only some I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1431176 | 18:37 |
| krypt0h | anyone have any ideas why the install wont work? the cdrom drive is shakey, i know this for sure, it has a hard time reading from the cd. it works and then stop sfor a while | 18:37 |
| Kalamarencu | anyone here knows how much for a USB drive install for /? and is the USB installation persistent or live?? | 18:37 |
| slayton | krypt0h, did you check the disc for errors? | 18:37 |
| krypt0h | the cd itself is fine, its like the drive can only read it for a while at a time. | 18:37 |
| oOarthurOo | uffo: There's a page on ubuntu docs showing different kernel line parameters you can use to boot the disc. E.g., noapic, nolapic, etc. | 18:37 |
| krypt0h | slayton, yes, it basically fails on some pacakges, and then it cant find a kernel | 18:38 |
| lifestream | /dev/sdb1 /media/USB rw,nosuid,nodev ext3 0 0 does that seem alright for usb drive? rw nosuid nodev? | 18:38 |
| krypt0h | i go back into install base system, it installs the packages that failed the first time and then gets hung up on installing libc6 | 18:38 |
| krypt0h | http://paste.ubuntu.com/71972/ | 18:38 |
| krypt0h | thats the syslog from my install attempts | 18:38 |
| slayton | krypt0h, does the drive work under windows? | 18:38 |
| oOarthurOo | uffo: Here you go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions scroll down to the kernel line options. Or read the whole thing. | 18:38 |
| icqnumber | are there up to date packages for vlc for hardy somewhere? not officially supported for sure, but stable/usable and awesome :-P | 18:38 |
| krypt0h | yeah, does the same thing though. it wont read it if you shut down the computer with it in the drive, you have to open and close it again | 18:38 |

| slayton | faryshta, I'd go with the dell , it has ubuntu pre installed | 18:43 |
| krypt0h | anyone happen to look at the syslog i posted or have any suggestions? | 18:43 |
| slayton | faryshta, its like 350 bucks | 18:43 |

| solarion | Is it possible to upgrade to jaunty yet? | 18:44 |
| solarion | Also, is the 2.6.28 kernel in jaunty? | 18:44 |
| slayton | faryshta, http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs | 18:44 |
| usser | norbert79, just made a usb stick from ubuntu server cd with unetbootin and installed basic gui. no xfce or that eeexubuntu junk. Then just installed the customized ubuntu-eeepc kernel which has been working fine for a month already | 18:45 |
| faryshta | solarion, the first alpha of jaunty will be available on november 20. | 18:45 |
| slayton | solarion, try #ubuntu+1 | 18:45 |
| === mike is now known as Guest8015 | ||
| solarion | slayton: I did, and got redirected here. | 18:45 |
| norbert79 | usser: What Window manager do you prefer? What was the size after the install? | 18:45 |
| norbert79 | I mean the size of the OS | 18:46 |
| ubd1 | home will have a seperate partition, how much space in gigabytes do i need for / | 18:46 |
| solarion | faryshta: does that mean it's not possible to s/interepid/jaunty/ in apt.sources and upgrade? | 18:46 |
| solarion | faryshta: or does "alpha" only mean "with CD"? | 18:46 |
| * solarion needs 2.6.28, or the eeepc touchpad randomly clicking while typing will drive him mad | 18:47 | |
| shaya | has anyone used ubuntu as a nas? | 18:47 |
| shaya | or nas/san | 18:47 |
| usser | norbert79, i use openbox with pypanel and wbar, which is a osx like lightweight docker. with all the applications i need like skype abiword, bunch of NES sega snes emulators, audio/video player etc it takes up 1.2gb | 18:47 |
| shaya | I looked at openfiler, but wasn't really happy with it | 18:47 |

| usser | norbert79, openbox being the window manager | 18:47 |
| norbert79 | usser: Sounds nice | 18:47 |

| tsunami | (off topic) do I need to port forward to get vnc working over the net? | 18:48 |
| solarion | or is that a Really Bad Idea | 18:48 |
| faryshta | you can add some repositories to your sources.list but that will not warranty an dist-upgrade, just applications upgrade. | 18:48 |
| krypt0h | k, since i know the cdrom is buggered up, i think i'll try installing from a usb stick. i have a kingmax 4gig superstick, i think ill try it | 18:48 |

| slayton | ok ok | 18:52 |
| slayton | norbert79, what is your qestion again? | 18:52 |
| mrled | I'm seeing online that /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug should contain a path like /sbin/hotplug or /sbin/udevsend. Mine is empty, udev is installed (and working AFAICT), and there IS no /sbin/{udevsend,hotplug} binary. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 server with a recent -xen kernel. | 18:53 |
| faryshta | Damn the dollar raise will kill my x-mas. The computer prices are 20% higher than 3 months ago. | 18:53 |

| usser | norbert79, just get ubuntu server and do custom install with only packages u need | 18:53 |
| mrled | My question is -- what is supposed to be in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug by default? | 18:53 |
| hwilde | mrled, what is it you are trying to do ? | 18:53 |
| norbert79 | usser: Thx, I will give both a try | 18:53 |
| slayton | norbert79, my name is Slayton not slaytanic | 18:53 |

| norbert79 | slayton: Happens :) | 18:53 |
| slayton | ;-) | 18:53 |
| usser | norbert79, 8.10 runs very smoothly on eee, no problems at all, even wireless works with stock kernel u just have to blacklist ath5_pci | 18:54 |
| mrled | and around the web it was indicated that this could be because of something wrong in the /proc/ file. | 18:54 |

| === mike is now known as Guest91029 | ||
| slayton | bokbaard, ask in ubuntu-motu | 18:55 |
| bokbaard | slayton: thx | 18:55 |
| hwilde | Tetracomm, it's the hardware the consumes power, and depends on how the power management is tuned. if ubuntu is running your fans nonstop or something it might not be configured right | 18:55 |
| albuntu | hwilde: thanks | 18:55 |
| slayton | Tetracomm, if you have newer hardware windows will probably consume less | 18:55 |
| technicallyhesri | hwilde: I'll do that, I'm getting some sata io errors | 18:56 |
| norbert79 | Guest91029: Don't use that name, it's being registered for someone else... Use /msg nickserv help for options in Freenode | 18:56 |

| gfdgfgregregrg | hi | 18:56 |
| mrled | hwilde: yes; there is no 'hotplug' package, but there is a 'hotplug-utils' virtual package which seems to resolve to 'fxload'. fxload installs a /sbin/fxload binary, however, it does not install /sbin/hotplug, and changing the contents of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to '/sbin/fxload' does not seem to make a difference in my xen problem. | 18:56 |
| hwilde | technicallyhesri, also there are some bios settings | 18:57 |

| mrled | hwilde: not sure if '!find hotplug' was meant for me, but doing `locate hotplug` on my system returns kernel modules, xen scripts, something in /usr/share/ifdown/, and nothing else. :( | 18:59 |
| Ultrahex | hwilde: either way it hard crashes just in differnt ways | 18:59 |
| smoovep | error.. Screen 1 deleted becuse of no matching config section | 18:59 |
| hwilde | Ultrahex, you can try a different window manager like ice-wm or kde | 19:00 |
| shawe | hwilde, I need the value Backlight level from sudo nvclock -i | 19:00 |
| hwilde | mrled, usually the bot picks that up | 19:00 |
| norbert79 | slayton: You might try powertop if you own an Intel processor | 19:00 |

| promethalus | kinda not so fun | 19:01 |
| Tetracomm | slayton: Maybe it has something to do with your power settings. | 19:01 |

| hwilde | shawe, sudo nvclock -i | awk '{print $1, $3}' | grep Backlight | 19:01 |
| shawe | xDDD | 19:01 |
| Ultrahex | Tetracomm: it really depends on what you are using it for and your hardware it is hard to compare in the regards in which you are saying | 19:02 |
| shawe | hwilde, yes, I don't think in this xDD | 19:02 |
| promethalus | any suggestions on what to do? | 19:02 |
| shawe | thanks | 19:02 |
| hwilde | Tetracomm, it depends on how compatible your drivers are with the hardware and how your OS is tuned to save power. | 19:02 |
| shawe | I go to apply and test that if it works wells | 19:02 |
| slayton | Tetracomm, I firmly believe that if you take any OEM windows machine with decent power management it will have a longer battery life then ubuntu | 19:02 |

| hwilde | Tetracomm, windows for example with the right drivers can shutoff one of your dual-cores to save power, or turn off harddrives, or network adapters, or restrict the video card. that might save power. but Linux with the right drivers could do the same, or better. depends on hardware + drivers + os tuning | 19:04 |
| hwilde | albuntu, buy a supported card and save yourself the headache :/ | 19:04 |

| norbert79 | Tetracomm: powertop would be a good start, if you have an intel based CPU | 19:05 |

| ubottu | ZeroBEAT: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:08 |
| Slart | hmm..that wasn't the one I was looking for.. =/ | 19:08 |
| erUSUL | riz_: no problem | 19:08 |
| lifestream | If I make a symlink ~/Music to /media/USB/Music, then delete ~/Music by accident, will all my USB music stuff be deleted too? Or just the symlink | 19:08 |
| ZeroBEAT | now it is ext3, so it should work... i both made a new partition and formatted a usb key to ext3, with both gparted and fdisk | 19:08 |
| hwilde | lifestream, just the symlink. music will still be in /media/USB/Music | 19:08 |
| Slart | lifestream: I think that depends on how you do the deleting.. | 19:08 |
| X_ELECTRO_X | Hello | 19:08 |
| Shaan7 | lifestream: just the symlink | 19:08 |

| erUSUL | lifestream: depends how did you deleted ~/Music | 19:08 |
| hwilde | albuntu, I never got it to work :/ or ndiswrapper | 19:09 |
| erUSUL | lifestream: did you used rm -r =? | 19:09 |
| Slart | lifestream: be carefil with recursive deleting | 19:09 |
| lifestream | hwilde, Shaan7 thanks :D erUSUL Slart I mean, like going in thunar or nautilus, and right click -> Delete | 19:09 |
| Dyresen | gnuts: you should not need any particaular fstab entrys. It should mount like any regular usb drive. Then you can use gtkpod to add songs. It's a bit flaky and it does not officially suport 4g, but the basic functionality is present. | 19:09 |
| albuntu | hwilde: what about ndiswrapper ? can you give me instructions on that | 19:09 |
| ZeroBEAT | anybody how know what could have gone wrong? | 19:10 |
| Slart | lifestream: not really sure.. I think just the symlink will be deleted.. but you might want to experiment first with a test folder | 19:10 |
| norbert79 | Cluny: See your messages again, as usual | 19:10 |
| gnuts | Dyresen: thanks you, in 8.04 everything worked great, but since upgrade it doesn't auto mount, it does show up with 'lsusb' | 19:10 |
| Shaan7 | lifestream: that'll be fine, but as Slart said, experiment !! | 19:10 |
| faryshta | generic question. If I make a LiveUsbPendrivePersistent aka install Ubuntu on a USB. Then I can use that usb to install Ubuntu on other computers? | 19:10 |

| Bryan_Sierra | My internet bluetooth module is connected via USB. I had it working in ubuntu 8.04, and then upgraded to 8.10. How can I get my bluetooth module working again? | 19:11 |
| Slart | stowawaybanjo: I don't think there is a "installed by default" system restore feature in ubuntu.. there might be some ways to make your own though | 19:11 |
| Bryan_Sierra | In virtualbox. | 19:11 |
| stowawaybanjo | ty slart :) | 19:11 |
| norbert79 | cmo: Cell based Ubuntu's... Hmm, the best would be if you would try to compile your own kernel... | 19:12 |

| msshams | can you introduce me a software that can organize my notes? a software like microsoft onenote. | 19:12 |
| Slart | lifestream: ah.. good to know.. thanks | 19:13 |
| cmo | norbert79: im not able to, thats a step to high for me | 19:13 |
| lexaux | 2msshams: tomboy | 19:13 |
| stowawaybanjo | woot woot, much appreciated. total noobage caused me to break something, was just hoping to restore to like 30m ago heh | 19:13 |
| lifestream | msshams, did you try TomBoy? There's a bunch but that one comes to mind | 19:13 |
| norbert79 | cmo: Any newer versions for PS3 than 7.04? Maybe you should considering on an update | 19:13 |
| Shaan7 | lifestream: good | 19:13 |
| slayton | msshams, there isn't a onenote equivalent that I now off. the best bet for you will be to get crossover or wine and install ms office | 19:14 |

| C0p3rn1c | Dominik1: linux is a copy of unix only free | 19:25 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> so where is the problem? if you are able to chat with me, how were you able to log on? | 19:25 |
| Dominik1 | wow, way to give two opposite awnsers :P | 19:26 |
| C0p3rn1c | unix used to be expensive | 19:26 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: safe mode + root user login + irssi | 19:26 |
| faryshta | C0p3rn1c, not at all. Linux was written from 0. BSD is a copy of Unix only free but Linux started as a clon. | 19:26 |

| usser | Dominik1, yes it was inspired by minix which wasnt exactly a unix itself. | 19:26 |

| Eugen | I've never installed the server before...I don't know if this is supposed to happen... | 19:29 |
| cmo | ok another question, since im using the restore session after reboot, i would like to exclude conky, is there any possibility? | 19:29 |
| faryshta | Eugen, the server edition only shows a console. | 19:29 |
| Cluber | Hi | 19:29 |
| faryshta | if you want to start a graphic sesion you can install Gnome, XFCE or KDE. | 19:30 |
| Eugen | faryshta..I now but mine is only showing the "grub" console... | 19:30 |
| Eugen | should'nt it be the terminal.... | 19:30 |
| Dominik1 | usser, madrazr: http://opensolaris.org/os/article/2005-10-14_a_comparison_of_solaris__linux__and_freebsd_kernels/ that article claims that the internals are very much alike | 19:30 |
| genii | faryshta: They did specify grub and not console | 19:30 |
| MIK1 | shaan dv6226us is the model # | 19:30 |
| madrazr | Dominik1: internals are not alike. It looks so outside | 19:30 |
| faryshta | Eugen, genii sorry my bad. | 19:30 |
| Eugen | thats fine.. | 19:30 |
| Eugen | well what can I do? | 19:31 |
| genii | Eugen: Yes it should be bash terminal or so. Did you install the boot loader? | 19:31 |
| Eugen | I'm assuming I need to start the kernel..some hou | 19:31 |
| Shaan7 | MIK1: just turn wireless device on and give it some time, the list of networks will appear when you click on the Network Manager icon | 19:31 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: so i checked my xorg.conf it seems to be the standard default no settings empty xorg.conf | 19:31 |
| madrazr | Dominik1: AFAIK Linux was not written by looking at the Unix's code. It was just written in its own way looking at how UNIX looks from outside | 19:31 |
| Eugen | I didn't install anything...I just finished installing from the cd.. | 19:31 |
| teahupoo | does anybody have any experience with the ATI mobility Radeon 9100 igp? | 19:31 |
| Eugen | how do I install the boot loader... | 19:31 |
| ikonia | Eugen: the install routine does it | 19:31 |
| norbert79 | madrazr: Ok, let me get this short: Linus was learning Minix from Andrew Tannenbaum, her decided to check on the multitasking cvapailities on the 386 CPU, he started on writing his own kernel... No code from Minix was used... End of story. | 19:32 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> can you paste that? i dont recall if you can have multiple tty console in safe mode..what happens when you ctrl+alt+f3 ? | 19:32 |
| faryshta | teahupoo, try watching the driver manager on Menu->System->Hardware Drivers | 19:32 |

| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> on all f1 to f6 ? | 19:33 |

| Eugen | is there anything I can do now to fix this? or will I have to just go through the setup again... | 19:34 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> can you paste that xorg.conf and also include /etc/gdm/gdm.conf or gdm-custom* | 19:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen sounds to me like you chose the wrong options for grub | 19:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen: is this your primary disk ? | 19:34 |

Thanks! | 19:36 |
| Eugen | no..I meant just 5 hardisks... | 19:36 |
| joaopinto | mini-man, /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gnome.so is a result of your compile | 19:37 |
| joaopinto | mini-man, so basically, you broke your gtk2 :P | 19:37 |

| mini-man | joaopinto: by menus working, I mean nautilus menus, since that seems to be the only application that works.. | 19:38 |
| Eugen | yes...correct not raided...I apologize | 19:38 |
| mini-man | joaopinto: I followed the instructions here, http://ayozone.org/2008/11/10/how-to-install-globalmenu-06-on-ubuntu-intrepid/ | 19:38 |

| Dominik1 | so seamonkey is nothing but FF3 and Thunderbird combined into one app? | 19:38 |
| joaopinto | mini-man, I am not familiar with global menu, but I guess that if you rm /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gnome.so , everything should work | 19:38 |
| ikonia | Eugen: ok, so how much do you understand grub ? | 19:38 |

| Eugen | I started the setup process again..just to see if I missed something like you mentined before.. | 19:39 |
| Jasperw | there is a protocol called 'plip' that does that, but i suspect you'll have to configure it by hand | 19:39 |
| KoFish | I have a problem, my caps-lock is still caps-lock even when xev says it's ctrl. What could be wrong, i'm using PekWM as a WM | 19:40 |
| ikonia | Eugen: ok, is your install on 1 disk ? | 19:40 |
| Eugen | yes | 19:40 |
| evan_ | Jasperw: , norbert79 do you know terms for google? | 19:40 |
| Jasperw | i don't think the setup process will do plip. | 19:40 |
| ikonia | Eugen: do you have a seperate /boot partition | 19:40 |
| Jasperw | just 'plip' | 19:40 |
| genii | Jasperw: Actually all it needs is module plip and then interface plip0 becomes available. You also need a laplink cord or so, however | 19:40 |
| norbert79 | evan_: And may we know why you are still here, if you are such a good Googler? | 19:40 |

| norbert79 | evan_: Sory, misunderstanding from my side... | 19:41 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: ugh .... i have no way in which to copy paste easily... | 19:41 |
| Jasperw | evan_ you have a usb -> parralel on another machine? and a cable between the new machine and the laptop? | 19:41 |
| norbert79 | evan_: Oh well, I would try "paralell port usb network Linux" | 19:41 |
| ikonia | Eugen: do you have a seperate /boot partition | 19:41 |
| MIK1 | No I just installed 7.04 I am going to update to 8.10 and see if that works..thanks will be back if not.. | 19:42 |

| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> when you boot, do you choose recovery mode or you insert an option to grub? | 19:42 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: im using recovery mode right now | 19:43 |
| soundray | kesi: did you install it with 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'? | 19:43 |
| kesi | I just tried that | 19:43 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> how did you get into that mode, what selection you made? | 19:43 |
| kesi | soundray, I just tried that, didn't work | 19:43 |
| Eugen | Ok..I'm at the setup screen "Partition Disks" | 19:43 |
| soundray | kesi: you have to restart firefox after that | 19:43 |
| ikonia | Eugen: do you have a seperate /boot partition | 19:43 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: its the second one default in grub labelled (recovery mode) | 19:43 |
| kesi | soundray, I did | 19:43 |
| ikonia | Eugen: what are you re-installing ? | 19:43 |
| ikonia | why sorry | 19:44 |
| Jasperw | evan_: but dosn't the usb ->parallel thing have the same connector on it as the laptop? how are you then connecting the two? | 19:44 |
| soundray | kesi: can you pastebin the output from 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree' | 19:44 |
| soundray | !pastebin > kesi | 19:44 |
| ubottu | kesi, please see my private message | 19:44 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> what happened if you had choosen the 1st one -- the normal boot -- what do you get? | 19:44 |
| Eugen | ikonia...I reinserted the install cd...to see if I miss configured the installer or miss partitioned | 19:44 |
| Eugen | it | 19:44 |
| kesi | soundray, sure, one sec | 19:44 |
| ikonia | Eugen: go back to the grub shell | 19:44 |

| K_Dallas | hi guys! i have an epson printer which is also a scanner. I plugged it in and hardy installed the printer drivers (not tested that out yet). But what can I do about the scanner? The model is epson cx5800f. right now i just boot into windows which is annoying. thanks | 19:44 |
| Eugen | i'm restarting the servever...takes a while... | 19:45 |
| Jasperw | hmm, and that howto is from 1998, you'll need to know what your doing to translate the instrucytions it gives to work with a modern distro. | 19:45 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> did you say your xorg.conf is empty? | 19:45 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: its not empty, its pretty much default just saying "default monitor" etc.. | 19:45 |
| kesi | soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/72008/ | 19:45 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> without me seeing the contents its difficult to troubleshoot..find a way to paste it | 19:45 |

| kesi | soundray, no go. | 19:46 |

| Inphoar | Hey does anyone have an equivalent to Ubuntu MouseTweaks/Simulated Secondary Click for Vista? Help is appreciated. | 19:47 |
| Eugen | ok..i'm at the grub shell now | 19:48 |
| kesi | soundray, that's what I have been doing | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Eugen: you don't hav a seperate /boot partition ? | 19:48 |
| Jasperw | evan_: parallel extra stick on part? Are you sure your not confusing a 25pin serial connector with a 25pin parallel connector | 19:48 |
| Eugen | I don't know...unless i was created during the install... | 19:48 |
| Eugen | it* | 19:48 |
| Jasperw | they look the same but don't have the same wireing | 19:48 |
| soundray | kesi: okay, one more thing then. Do a 'sudo rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz', then repeat the --reinstall command from above | 19:48 |
| Jasperw | you can damage your hardware by connecting them | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Eugen did you not layout the disk ? | 19:49 |
| Jasperw | is the parrel extra stick on part 9 pin -> 25 pin? | 19:49 |
| funto | bonjour :) | 19:49 |

| akello | Could somebody help me install C++ IDE and entire C++ programming tools in ubuntu Hardy? | 19:49 |
| Eugen | no...when I partitioned it, I selected to just use the Entire disk.. | 19:49 |
| ikonia | Eugen damn | 19:49 |
| Jasperw | if so then you have a usb -> serial adapter with a 9 pin serial to 25 pin serial adapter... | 19:49 |
| funto | akello: install Code::Blocks, now there is an official package for Hardy | 19:49 |
| ikonia | Eugen: lets try this, "root (hd0,0)" | 19:49 |
| Jasperw | and it's not parallel at all. | 19:49 |
| devmon | So is it possible for my 8.04 box to automatically connect to the wireless network (encrypted) before anyone logs in? | 19:50 |
| Eugen | "Files system type is ex2fx ...." | 19:50 |
| gourdin | my download is ok | 19:50 |
| funto | akello: sorry I wanted to say "Intrepid", not "Hardy" | 19:50 |
| gourdin | my upload is a mess | 19:50 |
| ikonia | Eugen: you seem lucky today | 19:50 |
| Eugen | lol | 19:50 |
| ikonia | Eugen: now do "setup (hd0)" | 19:51 |
| evan_ | Jasperw: yes it could indeed be a 25 pin serial | 19:51 |
| kesi | soundray, still no luck.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/72012/ | 19:51 |
| Eugen | "Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exsists ... no" | 19:52 |
| ikonia | Eugen: not so lucky | 19:52 |
| Jasperw | so do you have a 9 pin serial (RS232) port on the laptop? maybe you could get a 9 pin null serial cable and use that instead | 19:52 |
| Eugen | "Checking if "/grub/stage1" exsists ... no" | 19:52 |
| soundray | kesi: did you install firefox with apt as well? | 19:52 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72013/ Xorg.conf .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/72014/ gdm conf | 19:52 |
| Eugen | well... | 19:53 |
| ikonia | Eugen: ok, lets try root (hd0,1) | 19:53 |
| Eugen | what can I do... | 19:53 |
| kesi | soundray, hmm... I think it was installed automatically... I upgraded from HH and it was just there. | 19:53 |
| Eugen | I mean..I don't mind reformatting ... | 19:53 |
| ikonia | Eugen: can't see that would promise you get past this | 19:53 |
| Eugen | its a brand new system...so there is nothing on it.. | 19:53 |
| kesi | soundray, version 3.03 | 19:53 |
| ikonia | Eugen: your welcome to try | 19:53 |
| ikonia | Eugen: see if it makes a difference | 19:54 |
| soundray | kesi: okay. When you open 'about:plugins' in firefox, does it list flash? | 19:54 |
| kesi | Shockwave Flash | 19:54 |
| kesi | File name: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | 19:54 |
| kesi | Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12 | 19:54 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: im thinking i might be able to modify Xorg.conf and get input working on a single X term that i start from root access, but that will not be helpful for day to day use ... | 19:54 |
| Eugen | So I guess I'll start the setup again? | 19:54 |
| ikonia | Eugen: if you want | 19:55 |
| kesi | soundray, sorry..didn't realize that would break over lines.. yes. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12. File name: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so. application/x-shockwave-flash. application/futuresplash | 19:55 |
| Eugen | lol...are there any other options....i mean can anthying be fixed through grub? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | Eugen: sure | 19:55 |
| ikonia | Eugen: just need to get the partition layout correct | 19:55 |
| maret | hi can you helpme? i have an ubuntu installation from wubi, and every time i try to boot on ubuntu i can do nothing, i think it is because the system is read only, and i cannot change anything in fstab, can you help me? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | Eugen: if you knew it it's 30 seconds, if you don't it will take a few minutes | 19:55 |
| Eugen | well...unfortunatelly I don't..... | 19:56 |
| soundray | kesi: please give me one of the pages again that don't work | 19:56 |
| ikonia | Eugen: your call, we can work it through, or you can re-install | 19:56 |

| kesi | soundray, but I've had problems on alot of video sites | 19:57 |

| ikonia | redheat: ok, so this isn't really an ubuntu issue | 20:09 |
| soundray | kesi: I don't think your rm'ing of the libflashplayer.so files was successful. 'locate libflashplayer.so' should not return any more hits. Don't rm the .tar.gz -- then you don't have to re-download it again | 20:09 |
| ikonia | redheat: I susggest you take it to windows and find out if this is common/what could have happened it, and pay attention to hwilde's comment | 20:09 |
| redheat | and when I restarted teh computer I couldn't login at all, I mean all the entries are visible under vista bootloader | 20:09 |
| n8tuser | Ultrahex-> perhaps you have to google for your ati video card and ubuntu fix | 20:09 |
| ikonia | redheat: I suggest taking it to ##windows | 20:09 |
| redheat | and now no matter what I do I can't login, I used gpart see what happened and it reportedt the whole drive with all of my five operating systems as "unallocated space" | 20:10 |
| ikonia | redheat: I suggest taking it to ##windows | 20:10 |
| redheat | yet they all are there I'm sure of that | 20:10 |
| kesi | soundray, you're right.. I just tried it again and the same files showed up with locate.. what am I doing wrong? | 20:10 |
| redheat | roger taht | 20:10 |

| Cluber | genii: Thanks, is the order in the startup programs alphabetical? | 20:11 |
| redheat | thank you folks | 20:11 |
| kesi | soundray, right.. now when I do a sudo updatedb followed by a locate libflashplayer.so I don't come up with anything. should I try installing again? | 20:12 |
| genii | Cluber: I suspect so but someone else may know for certain | 20:12 |
| soundray | kesi: the operation has of course already been successful in that the version 9 plugin is gone -- I would have thought that this would have fixed it. | 20:12 |
| soundray | kesi: yes, that's what I would try | 20:12 |
| Cluber | System -> Preferences -> Sessions, Startup programs tab, is this the order in which they are executed. | 20:12 |
| soundray | kesi: you're sure that you don't have a gnash or swfplayer lurking around as well? | 20:12 |

| sliwowitz | Hello everyone, I have a problem with LUKS partitions not mounted on boot, this problem appeared after upgrade to 8.10. I was using a keyscript to get keys from my USB stick. Now update-initramfs doesn't include the keyscript int the initrd image. When I run it, I get a warning "invalid line in /etc/crypttab" but there is only one line, which is definitely correct | 20:16 |
| jvrmrtn | one question: Whats video card is more compatibility with ubuntu: geforce or ATI ? | 20:17 |
| kesi | soundray, this is really annoying. | 20:17 |
| kesi | soundray, should I reinstall firefox? | 20:17 |

| troglobyte | does the 8.10 desktop kernel have PAE on by default? google gives conflicting reports. using the server kernel with 8.04 really messed up my machine. I'd like to avoid that mess again. | 20:17 |
| soundray | kesi: I would try a reboot first | 20:17 |
| kesi | soundray, ok.. brb | 20:17 |
| tsunami | do you utilize torrents? if so, do you use moblock? | 20:18 |
| Slart | troglobyte: I don't think the desktop kernel has PAE enabled, no | 20:19 |

| UbuntuGuy | Hi -- Need help with Samba. When I add a share using Nautilus, the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is not changed, so where does nautilus store the new share information? | 20:21 |
| lenswipe | the HDD is not broken because ive tried 2 different HDDs | 20:21 |
| lenswipe | UbuntuGuy: try #samba | 20:21 |
| UbuntuGuy | lenswipe, well, samba works fine, I have a few shares there already, but when I add a share from nautilus, rather than by editing the smb.conf file directly, the changes are stored somewhere, I just need to know where | 20:22 |
| gam3r111 | anyone know of a .dpg movie converter for ubuntu? | 20:22 |

| Dr_willis | protect from who/what obert | 20:24 |
| Dr_willis | gam3r111, as for videos.. ffmpeg/mencoder - check their docs/homepage.. if they cant do it.. i doubt if anything can. :) | 20:24 |

| Skalman12 | hello! I think I've messed up the Compiz settings, so each time I log in I automatically get logged out (now I've logged in via terminal) | 20:25 |
| PeskyJ | if logged in as another user, is it possible to run GUI programs as a different user? I get the message "cannot connect to display :0.0" when I try to do this | 20:25 |
| gam3r111 | ok lemme sheck | 20:25 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know anything about my problem with installing ubuntu? | 20:25 |
| Slart | obert: it's not a stupid question.. you just need to explain a bit more.. what/who do you want it protected against? hiding your playboy scans from your wife? hiding industrial secrets from nsa? | 20:25 |
| lenswipe | please help | 20:25 |
| lenswipe | thi is really important | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis | PeskyJ, i normally install the 'sux' command m, then in a shell i can 'sux OTHERUSER' then run the x apps. :) thers other ways you can do it also. | 20:25 |
| soundray | kesi: you could try renaming your .mozilla directory, to see if that makes a difference -- or try as a different user if that's easier | 20:26 |
| lenswipe | anyone | 20:26 |
| lenswipe | please help | 20:26 |
| lenswipe | i need this webserver back online | 20:26 |
| hwilde | !enter | lenswipe | 20:26 |
| ubottu | lenswipe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:26 |
| Slart | lenswipe: haven't seen your error before.. but I'd suggest checking the drive.. if that doesn't help.. well.. I'm out of ideas | 20:26 |
| hwilde | lenswipe, can you summarize in one line | 20:26 |
| soundray | PeskyJ: you can do this easily via ssh -- just do a 'ssh -X otheruser@localhost' | 20:26 |
| kesi | soundray, the .mozilla folder in my prof? | 20:26 |
| Dr_willis | block/sector error = hard disk/cd reading/writing problem. | 20:27 |
| Slart | obert: there's always truecrypt.. supposed to be easy to run on both linux/windows | 20:27 |
| lenswipe | hwilde: i cant install ubuntu or CentOS on this machine, ive tried different Hard Drives one of them brand new out of the shop, anyone have any ideas??? | 20:27 |
| soundray | PeskyJ: it should also work if you start an otheruser shell with 'sudo su - otheruser' | 20:27 |
| soundray | kesi: in your $HOME | 20:27 |
| Dr_willis | lenswipe, check the cables? | 20:27 |
| hwilde | lenswipe, does the livecd boot up | 20:27 |
| lenswipe | hwilde: it just freezes | 20:28 |
| glase-noise | Does anyone know how to get multiple (or should I say virtual) screens in ubuntu-studio it seems there is only one, (first time ever in a linux distro I used) and I cant find no option to change that, someone? | 20:28 |
| hwilde | lenswipe, in the grub hit the F# option for extra options | 20:28 |
| PeskyJ | soundray: I normally start a terminal, then do su otheruser, type their password, then try to run the program, is that any different? | 20:28 |
| lenswipe | Dr_willis: well, if i use ubuntu server install it says something about error with sector and an error with a block | 20:28 |
| hwilde | lenswipe, at the end, take off splash and quiet, add acpi=off routeirq pollirq | 20:28 |
| Dr_willis | glase-noise, it would depend on yoru video card to some degree also. | 20:28 |
| kesi | soundray, hmm...that worked.. what does that mean? | 20:28 |
| Ultrahex | n8tuser: ok ... so i looked up video card and fixed issue ... now it gets a bit farther then freezes :P | 20:29 |
| lenswipe | hwilde: yeh then what? | 20:29 |
| soundray | PeskyJ: only in that you get a different environment when you do a 'su - otheruser', so it's worth trying with the dash | 20:29 |
| lenswipe | hwilde: can we take this to private mesage please... | 20:29 |
| lenswipe | hwilde: thanks :) | 20:29 |
| soundray | kesi: it means that the problem, whatever it is, is in your personal firefox configuration | 20:29 |
| paziek | t | 20:30 |
| PeskyJ | soundray: ahh, I see :) | 20:30 |
| kesi | soundray, so can I move the plugins and extensions back? | 20:30 |
| soundray | kesi: you could leave it as it is -- you'll just have to reconfigure all your firefox preferences etc | 20:30 |
| glase-noise | Dr_willis, nvidia 8400, it shouldn be a problem. | 20:30 |
| soundray | kesi: yes, except that you may at some point recreate the problem if you do this noncritically | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | glase-noise, i enable twinview and use the nvidia-settings tool and nvidia-xconfig tool to set up my multi-monitors | 20:31 |
| kesi | soundray, ok.. thanks for the help | 20:31 |
| Eugen | hey ikonia...still there? | 20:31 |
| glase-noise | Dr_willis, a ok, well uhm sorry I mean not different monitors but just have 4 desktops(just simple I know, but I am not very familiar to ubuntu0 | 20:32 |
| mikethk | hi i got probs wth sound in lich king.... MAybe some have an idea of what to try? I guees it would work with some configuration in wine or wow | 20:32 |
| PeskyJ | soundray: that doesn't work out of the bag | 20:33 |
| Eugen | you mean box | 20:33 |
| Lamo | After upgrading to Ibex I unable to connect to my Win2k8 Server via rdesktop. Well it connects but wont allow me to login. Anyone else experience this? | 20:33 |
| soundray | PeskyJ: okay -- does the ssh -X method work? | 20:33 |
| ikonia | Eugen: you called | 20:33 |
| Dr_willis | glase-noise, If you mean the virtual-desktops in the little 'pager' thing. if ysing compiz You must use the CCSM tool or the ccsm simple tool. to confioguire thje # of deskops. Or if NOT using compiz, ypu just right click on the Pager and set them it its preferances | 20:34 |
| PeskyJ | soundray: sshd not installed/running | 20:34 |
| Lamo | Or is there an alternative to rdesktop? | 20:34 |
| Eugen | hey..well I went through with the installation again, and it still took me back to the gurb console.. | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen: as I suspected | 20:34 |
| Dr_willis | Lamo, vnc is handy. | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen: are you using lvm ? | 20:34 |
| sap1 | hi.i have installed realplayer 11 in intrepid but everytime i try to play a .rmvb movie in it it crashes anyone has any ideas | 20:34 |
| Eugen | yes | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen: there is the problem | 20:34 |
| PeskyJ | how about is there a way of sending an already running program on one display to a different display? so I'm logged in twice and instead of switching users all th etime, just send the program I'm using to the other user's desktop? | 20:34 |
| soundray | PeskyJ: it's worth installing... | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen: I suspect lvm is controlling /boot which wont work | 20:34 |
| Eugen | lol...I thought lvm would be better | 20:34 |
| zex | ksin.net | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Eugen: you have to know how to lay lvm out | 20:34 |
| Eugen | ugh...Ok..so just tell me what to do.... | 20:35 |
| PeskyJ | soundray: yeah.. I will do, I'm just new to X so trying to figure out how it works and what you can do with it :) | 20:35 |
| soundray | PeskyJ: not easily, but you can switch easily with Ctrl-Alt-F9/F7 | 20:35 |
| Eugen | everything I've done so far has been wrong.. | 20:35 |
| glase-noise | Dr_willis, sorry I can find no pager, thatś the problem | 20:35 |
| ikonia | Eugen: reinstall, and either don't use lvm, or layout lvm with a seperate /boot partition | 20:35 |
| PeskyJ | soundray: ahh that's useful | 20:35 |
| Eugen | buy "don't use LVM," you mean just use "Guided - entire disk"? | 20:36 |
| Murphy | hi ppl, i just buyed an SDcard...i just plugged it and...should happen something? should ubuntu mount it like an usb pen? | 20:36 |
| glase-noise | Dr_willis, Do you mean desktop, in that it doesn show up options. | 20:36 |
| ikonia | Eugen: whatever you want, as long as you don't enable lvm | 20:36 |
| ikonia | Murphy: not if it doesn't have a file sytem on | 20:36 |
| levander | Did they take away the "Search this Thread" feature on Ubuntu Forums?? | 20:36 |
| Eugen | ok...i'll do that ...although I had that last time and it still took me to the grub console.. | 20:36 |

| soho_ | hey guys, i upgraded my ubuntu from hardy, to gust, and finally to ibex but I have a problem | 20:38 |
| Murphy | is a 2giga sd card in a asus eeepc 1000h slot | 20:38 |
| Slart | sap1: try running it from a terminal and see if there are any error messages | 20:38 |
| soho_ | whenever i boot, it still displays the old kernels | 20:38 |
| soho_ | is that normal? | 20:38 |
| Slart | soho_: yup, you can remove them in synaptic if you want to | 20:38 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| sap1 | slart:how do i do tht | 20:38 |
| Slart | soho_: it might be wise to at least save one older kernel | 20:38 |
| Pooki1 | I have openssh-server (etc) all installed, and I can SSH to Localhost, just not from outside...I CAN ssh from this machine to another, just not into this machine from another...NMAP produces closed on 22 | 20:39 |
| soho_ | Slart how come? | 20:39 |
| Murphy | so what i've to do? | 20:39 |
| zsquareplusc | Murphy: i guess that works. the eeepc 700 works fine with 8gb. did you look at the output of the "dmesg" command? | 20:39 |
| jimcooncat | I need a better guide than https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal. Anyone with a link? | 20:39 |
| Slart | sap1: open a terminal, applications, accessories, terminal.. then run the player from there | 20:39 |
| Slart | soho_: in case you get a problem with the current kernel and somehow can't boot | 20:39 |
| Murphy | i had not any output when i insert it.. | 20:39 |
| soho_ | oh okay | 20:39 |
| Murphy | i done the # thing in etc/fstab | 20:39 |
| soho_ | slart keep the old kernels, does it take up a lot of space? | 20:40 |
| Murphy | commenting the dev/sdb cd rom | 20:40 |
| sap1 | Slart: the player opens the problem happens when i open a .rmvb file wih the player it just closes | 20:40 |
| zsquareplusc | Pooki1: poke your ISP. and in the menatime. run ssh on a random port, like 12345 | 20:40 |
| soundray | Hi jimcooncat... What's the problem with that guide? | 20:40 |
| Slart | soho_: not really.. you can see how much space they use in synaptic.. I'm guessing below 10MB each or something for each kernel | 20:40 |
| jimcooncat | soundray: it doesn't tell me how to sign my packages. | 20:41 |
| Slart | sap1: how do you start the player? | 20:41 |
| glase-noise | Dr_willis, are you still there, I don use compiz, isn there some simple option somewhere to set that up? | 20:41 |
| soho_ | how do i check in synaptic slart? | 20:41 |
| jimcooncat | Pookil: you may want to run ssh on a non-standard port anyway -- keeps down the brute force attacks | 20:41 |
| Slart | soho_: start synaptic and click "installed" in the left column.. then find the kernels.. they are called linux-image-bla bla bla | 20:42 |
| PeskyJ | I just downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin - Not sure what file type this is, or if it's installer or executable or what... but I tried setting execute permission on it and either way gnome just complains that it doesn't know what to do with files of type .bin | 20:42 |

| ikonia | PeskyJ: chmod 750 the file, then ./file it | 20:43 |
| FerSeL | how do i run ".run" driver? | 20:43 |
| ikonia | FerSeL: what driver do you want | 20:43 |
| sap1 | slart: i did realplay %u | 20:43 |
| FerSeL | it's nvidia driver of my video card 7300GT | 20:44 |
| Slart | sap1: where is "realplay" located? you can check using "which realplay" | 20:44 |
| ikonia | FerSeL: the nvidia drivers packaged by ubuntu should work on that | 20:44 |
| === m1nds1llus1on is now known as m1nds1llus1on_ | ||

| FerSeL | I'm using kubuntu when i installed driver that was suggest by the os i got lines and bad graphics | 20:44 |
| sap1 | Slart: isnt there only one | 20:44 |
| FerSeL | so i dled one from nvidia | 20:44 |
| Slart | sap1: just type "which realplay" without the quotes in the terminal, "which" is a command | 20:45 |
| zsquareplusc | Murphy: anything about sdX devices at the end of the output. but when i plug in the 8gb on the desktop machine i get any output either, but it may be the reader that cant cope with sdhc in my case | 20:45 |
| PeskyJ | ikonia: aha, ./file seems to work, I'd have thought that's what gnome does with executables (it changed the icon when I gave it x permissions) | 20:45 |
| ikonia | !nvidia > FerSeL | 20:45 |

| bluefoxx | hey, i have a small question here. why do things keep asking for a keyring password when i never set one?? i tried any other password i used on the machine, none work | 21:34 |
| bluefoxx | mainly when trying to set a new network up | 21:34 |

| chimp | Quick question that google is failing for me, is there a simple command to delay another command you want to run? | 21:34 |
| R0m41n | ok | 21:34 |
| ikonia | mercutio22: you've deleted some partitions so your partition numbering will have changed for grub | 21:34 |
| jrib | chimp: sleep | 21:34 |

| timbury | elamsusa: what pc are you using? | 21:35 |
| ikonia | mercutio22: more so if your partitions where under the logical partition | 21:35 |
| m1nds1llus1on | bluefoxx: If you never set one it should be the same as your login password.... or blank... one of the two | 21:35 |
| clooluss | gah! I screwed up! I uninstalled open office 1.3 from my wife's gutsy machine so I could put 3.0 on. I added the OOo repository, but it won't let me install! "Depends: open-office.org core but it is not going to be installed" !!! Help! | 21:35 |
| jrib | tiredbones: taking forever to buffer, give me a minute :) | 21:35 |
| uffo | soundray: ubuntu should be easy as windows and i use ubuntu for media, network etc.. but i need simple usage. maybe there is some deb pack that resets that | 21:35 |

| clooluss | sorry, i meant OOo 2.3 | 21:35 |
| elamsusa | Mac Mini | 21:35 |
| joaopinto | clooluss, the ooo3.0 repository is for intrepid only | 21:35 |
| tiredbones | jrib, same here | 21:35 |
| uffo | soundray: i hate commandline | 21:35 |
| Jeruvy | clooluss: don't upgrade stick with 1.1 unless you have 8.10 | 21:35 |
| clooluss | oh dear. Can I download a deb or somethign? | 21:35 |
| ikonia | mercutio22: possible, if your partition data is stable | 21:35 |
| bluefoxx | m1nds1llus1on; neither one works, i tried both | 21:36 |
| soundray | uffo: ubuntu is easier than Windows. You have to get rid of your ridiculous hate of the command line, though. | 21:36 |
| jrib | tiredbones: ok. I have sound. This is just flash though. Do you have sound in other flash applications? Like badgerbadgerbadger.com? | 21:36 |
| mercutio22 | ikonia: I think its stable because supposedly testdisk would tell me if any errors were found | 21:36 |

| ryanakca | When compiling, is it possible to set an env variable (CC is it?) that'll specify to the program which compiler to use? | 21:37 |
| m1nds1llus1on | bluefoxx: Interesting... I know you can change the password in your gnome-keyring settings | 21:37 |
| elamsusa | grrr | 21:37 |

| tux91 | jrib: yes | 21:39 |
| bluefoxx | m1nds1llus1on; where is that? | 21:39 |
| kri | so there is no svn for x264? | 21:39 |
| zsquareplusc | tux91: maybe it isnt recognising your file's format | 21:39 |

| m1nds1llus1on | amriedle: when do you get the black screen? Is it after the Ubuntu splash screen or immediately after grub? | 21:41 |
| tux91 | :set filetype=py | 21:41 |
| slayton | clooluss, open synaptic, then edit the sources and uncheck the cd | 21:41 |

| m1nds1llus1on | amriedle: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the ATI drivers, I'd say you have a problem in your xorg.conf and you should probably try rebuilding the file. | 21:44 |
| zsquareplusc | tux91: so your vim thinks you have a dumb terminal. try echo $TERM | 21:44 |
| soundray | icqnumber: it hasn't been backported to hardy yet | 21:44 |
| clooluss | OK, now downloading 44 meg of openoffice 2.X . Great. I wanted 3.0 for the ability to read .docx files - is there another way to read them in older versionso of OOo? | 21:44 |
| hwilde | tux91, there is a vim support channel u know | 21:44 |
| redvamp128 | nathan42100: I have lately 8.04 with all the updates-- firefox has locked up even more-- have to force quit at least 2 times a night.. and it has closed once today just opening a link | 21:44 |

| tux91 | hwilde: well, it works everywhere except ubuntu | 21:45 |
| hwilde | amriedle, it would failover to a generic one | 21:45 |
| icqnumber | soundray, from the ppa vlc members | 21:45 |
| hwilde | tux91, i know, my pageup and pagedown keys are helplessly broken. | 21:45 |
| zsquareplusc | 1400 PMs? that are a lot of tabs you want to have.. lol | 21:45 |
| redvamp128 | nathan42100: what version of ubuntu and firefox? | 21:45 |
| nathan42100 | redvamp128, its not crashing, but my bookmarks don't show, Home page doesn't load, etc | 21:45 |
| redvamp128 | try creating a new profile | 21:45 |
| amriedle | hwilde: correct, but that one works given that in recovery mode i am able to boot into both x and gdm but in non-recovery mode it crashes... :/ | 21:45 |
| nathan42100 | redvamp128, 8.10 ubuntu, 3.0.3 firefox | 21:46 |
| hwilde | amriedle, so just blow out hte xorg.conf and use the failsafe | 21:46 |
| tux91 | zsquareplusc: i don't think the problem is in terminal, line numbers are colored | 21:46 |
| redvamp128 | nathan42100: I also test in a side by side install --- the nightlies | 21:46 |
| hwilde | tux91, M-x global-font-lock | 21:46 |
| zsquareplusc | tux91: then try a different coloscheme | 21:46 |
| redvamp128 | let me find the page to create a new profile | 21:46 |
| nathan42100 | redvamp128, then I lose my bookmarks | 21:46 |
| bluefoxx | can't change it, still locks me out. this is retarded, why not just your login password for everything? than you don't have a retarded keyring screwing you over left and right | 21:46 |
| amriedle | hwilde: i had an idea... ill try it and get back if it works/doesn't work | 21:46 |
| m1nds1llus1on | amriedle: Good point... I'm honestly not sure on this one... I'd probably need to actually sit down with the system to figure it out. How did you install the ATI driver? | 21:46 |
| L3Tum | jrib: If the answer is in there I apologize. My first question is, is there a way to make only a section of the menubar stretch to the width of the menu items? Like if I were to make an image that would place the menu in its own "bubble", could I make this stretch with different programs? As some only have maybe 3 menu items while others may have more? | 21:47 |
| tux91 | zsquareplusc: i hate non-vanilla packages( | 21:47 |
| hwilde | !sudo | bluefoxx | 21:47 |
| ubottu | bluefoxx: 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) | 21:47 |
| hwilde | !root | bluefoxx | 21:47 |
| ubottu | bluefoxx: 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 | 21:47 |
| bluefoxx | i know that | 21:47 |
| L3Tum | jrib: I couldn't find what I'm looking for in the tutorials | 21:47 |

| jrib | L3Tum: you need to ask the specific question to the channel. I don't know much about it. But you are probably better off asking this question on a gnome channel on GIMPNet as it's not really an ubuntu question | 21:48 |
| m1nds1llus1on | amriedle: Have you considered trying to install it with EnvyNG instead? perhaps there was a problem with the manual compile. | 21:48 |
| redvamp128 | you won't loose them if you before you create a new one | 21:48 |
| bluefoxx | how am i off topic? all i'm after is a way to disable the keyring or make it work. as it is i can't do anything because it keeps locking me out. | 21:48 |
| m1nds1llus1on | amriedle: A very very strange fluky problem.... | 21:48 |
| redvamp128 | export them then import them | 21:48 |
| soundray | bluefoxx: please stop swearing. You need to log into failsafe mode and delete your keyring directory: 'rm -r ./.gnome2/keyrings' | 21:48 |
| L3Tum | jrib: I'll do that, thanks | 21:48 |

| VastHappyDude | when i use EnvyNG to install the proper driver, it loads after reboot, but my xserver.conf file gets re-written after a second reboot, and i get a black screen... what did i do wrong? | 21:54 |
| soundray | s0ap: in that case, I suggest you try to mount the remote directory with fuse. Then you can use rsync | 21:54 |
| soundray | !fuse | s0ap | 21:54 |
| ubottu | s0ap: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems.

| deigel | i have this laptop i've just purchased that currently has vista on it. i'd like to do a dual boot configuration on it. it worries me because it doesn't come with any install cds, and in addition to the os partition, it apparently has a vista-restore partition. i'm worried that if i make room and install ubuntu that when it writes to mbr i wont ever be able to access the system restore partition. is that true ? | 21:57 |
| m1nds1llus1on | Ultrahex: Definate driver problem. Basically your card is turning off because Ubuntu isn't interfacing with it right. Or so it would seem. I'd reinstall the driver using EnvyNG if I were you. | 21:57 |
| soundray | s0ap: ah, found it | 21:57 |
| soundray | !info curlftpfs | s0ap | 21:57 |
| chimp | zsquareplusc: ahh you have me wrong, i want to pipe the 5 to sleep | 21:57 |
| ubottu | s0ap: curlftpfs (source: curlftpfs): filesystem to access FTP hosts based on FUSE and cURL. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.2-1 (intrepid), package size 29 kB, installed size 112 kB | 21:57 |
| VastHappyDude | deigel: wubi is the way to go | 21:57 |
| chimp | Ie echo 5 | sleep then it sleeps for 5 seconds | 21:57 |
| chimp | this is just an example not what i want to do | 21:57 |
| zsquareplusc | deigel: there is probably a program to create the recovery disk installed. search for that 1st | 21:57 |
| jrib | chimp: just do: sleep 5 | 21:57 |
| south_korea | hi :P | 21:58 |
| soundray | chimp: 'echo 5 | xargs sleep' | 21:58 |
| Ultrahex | m1nds1llus1on: i just installed with ati's installer | 21:58 |
| south_korea | ikonia, :P aren't you tired | 21:58 |
| zsquareplusc | chimp, sleep can read from stdin you need to pass it as arguement. maybe you want to learn about shell variables $USER and such | 21:58 |

| BobSapp | If I have an intel 64 bit processor, should I install a 64bit version of ubuntu? I have a Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5600. | 21:58 |
| chimp | zsquareplusc: ta, i wasnt sure where to look for this stuff, ill check it out | 21:59 |
| tripitakit | BobSapp: u can instal both version | 21:59 |
| m1nds1llus1on | Ultrahex: ATI's installer isn't written and tested specifically for Ubuntu, please, just try EnvyNG... the worst that will happen is it won't fix the problem. | 21:59 |
| zcat[1] | !publisher | 21:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about publisher | 21:59 |
| deigel | zsquareplusc, you are right. it does have that option. thank you so much i would have overlooked that. | 21:59 |
| soundray | BobSapp: yes, if you want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of it. No, if you want a slightly easier ride | 21:59 |
| BobSapp | tripitakit: cool, i got confused because it said AMD64 | 21:59 |
| zcat[1] | anyone know of a way to read/convert publisher files in linux? | 21:59 |
| BobSapp | thanks | 21:59 |
| m1nds1llus1on | Ultrahex: If it doesn't fix the issue, Envy can undo what it did. | 22:00 |
| BobSapp | brb watching sarah connors chronicles | 22:00 |
| soundray | BobSapp: amd64 is what you should pick if you want to go 64bit. | 22:00 |
| chimp | one last strange question, how can I make a command after its finished running, go back and run that line of command again (ie. it loops)? | 22:00 |

| zcat[1] | seems inkscape / scribus / ooo draw can't import them... | 22:00 |
| jrib | chimp: you should google "advanced bash scripting guide" | 22:00 |
| s0ap | soundray: turns out fuse did work | 22:01 |
| joaopinto | bamball, that is probably related to your graphics driver, not ubuntu in general :P | 22:01 |
| zcat[1] | Falstaf: cinelerra? | 22:01 |
| m1nds1llus1on | jrib: Always a good solution.... that guide has saved me many a time. | 22:01 |
| chimp | I shall read that jrib ta | 22:01 |

| matthew | http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu | 22:01 |
| soundray | s0ap: how did you do it -- with curlftps? | 22:01 |
| matthew | that is how to install it in ubuntu | 22:01 |
| bamball | <joaopinto>: u sure? because i tried this on several computers.. one with nvidia one with ATI one with intel graphics | 22:01 |
| Falstaf | zcat oops it is spelled cinerella ... it is a video editing program. | 22:02 |
| s0ap | soundray: no with fuse | 22:02 |
| tiredbones | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/72065/ | 22:02 |
| nexiv | hmmm PCMan X BBS Client installed on my ubuntu and i duno how it got there X_X | 22:02 |
| matthew | falstaf did you see that link | 22:02 |
| joaopinto | bamball, I don't have such problem, ATI | 22:02 |
| soundray | s0ap: yeah -- curlftpfs uses fuse, too... Anyway, glad it works for you. Rsync as well | 22:02 |
| george_ | hi, can anyone help me? I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a 2GB Kingston DataTraveler usb stick (from the live-cd) but when I boot with the usb stick connected, after GRUB the system doesn't boot. I have changed the boot order in the BIOS, and I know my laptop can boot from usb. | 22:02 |
| soundray | ? | 22:02 |
| bamball | <joaopinto>: maybe 64bit drivers are not as mature..? | 22:02 |
| joaopinto | bamball, probably :) | 22:02 |
| jrib | tiredbones: you have an old version of flash installed along with the new one. Get rid of the old one | 22:03 |
| m1nds1llus1on | 64 does tend to be a bit on the undercooked side still. | 22:03 |
| Falstaf | Thank you matthew! | 22:03 |
| matthew | np | 22:03 |
| soundray | m1nds1llus1on: not my experience -- works very well for me since gutsy | 22:03 |
| bushwacker | Hello when I am installing Ubuntu with a minimal install CD, it gets to "Installing base system" and stops at "retrieving glibz1" or along the lines. Why is this and how can I fix it? | 22:03 |
| matthew | if you want cinerella a few other nice programs are kino and dvdstyler | 22:04 |
| bamball | <joaopinto>: the funny thing is.. my 4 years old intel integrated notebook have more fluid dragging than the new ATI notebook i bought 2 wks ago.. the old comp is running 32 and new is running x64 | 22:04 |
| joaopinto | bushwacker, have you checked the md5sum before burning ? | 22:04 |
| jrib | bushwacker: did you run "check the CD for defects" from the CD's boot menu? | 22:04 |
| shiki9 | hello | 22:04 |
| bushwacker | joaopinto: i used the Check CD for Defects option | 22:04 |
| Maxflax | I upgraded from hardy to intrepid - now when using xbmc the comp hans when trying to fastforward in some movies where the sound isn't digital | 22:04 |
| m1nds1llus1on | soundray: Eh... it's a lot better I'll give it that, there are still quite a few odd things though. At least when I last used 64 bit edition there were... granted that was in January | 22:04 |
| shiki9 | is 1GB or ram enough for ubuntu desktop running apache http server ,tomcat and postgresql | 22:05 |
| LF|Irssi | shiki9: easily | 22:05 |
| m1nds1llus1on | shiki9: NO! | 22:05 |
| jrib | tiredbones: do you understand how to go about doing that? | 22:05 |
| soundray | shiki9: yes | 22:05 |
| matthew | shiki9 128 mb is enough for that | 22:05 |
| bushwacker | any ideas? | 22:05 |
| soundray | matthew: not for the desktop, no | 22:05 |
| joaopinto | shiki9, it depends on what you will be running on tomcat | 22:05 |
| matthew | oh the desktop needs atleast 320 mb | 22:05 |
| faryshta | shiki9, I have all those in a 512mb machine right now. | 22:06 |
| m1nds1llus1on | shiki9: I'm a sysadmin for a web hosting company... 1GB will run that fine if you are using the server edition. NOT the desktop edition | 22:06 |
| shiki9 | i am using tomcat to test my apps | 22:06 |
| LF|Irssi | shiki9: although Ubuntu Server is probably best for apache web server, but that's just my opinon | 22:06 |
| LF|Irssi | opinion* | 22:06 |
| bushwacker | wait, I restarted it and tried again. it seems to be working | 22:06 |
| shiki9 | ok | 22:06 |
| zcat[1] | funnyily enough if I google 'cinerella, the only thing remotely like a video editor in the results is 'cinelerra' so I'm pretty sure you're just spelling it wrong. | 22:06 |
| joaopinto | shiki9, the recommened memory for a mininmal tomcat environment is 512MBs | 22:06 |
| matthew | if you want to just use apache and not php then desktop is fine | 22:06 |
| matthew | I run apache on my desktop | 22:07 |
| Maxflax | I think it might be that crappy pulseaudio crap messing things up | 22:07 |
| shiki9 | ok | 22:07 |
| joaopinto | shiki9, if you want a server environment, you should not install desktop | 22:07 |
| george_ | I can't boot ubuntu from a USB stick, but I know my laptop supports it. | 22:07 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: why not ??? | 22:07 |
| Maxflax | How do one remove the use of pulseaudio or disable it | 22:07 |
| linguini | I did 'apt-get autoremove network-manager' and now I can't bring my network back up; not even to do 'apt-get install network-manager'. :-( | 22:07 |
| shiki9 | joaopinto:its a development desktop system | 22:07 |
| matthew | george is there a boot option at startup ? | 22:07 |
| joaopinto | shiki9, it will take a significant memory for the graphical component, which you want on the server side :) | 22:07 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: Using guis to control servers rock! | 22:07 |
| tiredbones | jrib, synaptic shows only the newer version. how do i use synaptic remove the old version? | 22:07 |
| joaopinto | shiki9, ah ok, for tht should be fine | 22:08 |
| shiki9 | ok | 22:08 |
| joaopinto | SOF4LNX, not really, for development desktop may rock, but not for server management | 22:08 |
| jrib | tiredbones: you probably did not install it through synaptic. Pastebin: locate libflashplayer.so | 22:08 |
| bushwacker | tiredbones: sudo apt-get remove? | 22:08 |
| george_ | matthew: GRUB appears normally, after that however I only get a black screen | 22:08 |
| uffo | question that i have thinked long time where files are deleted if i delete files with gksudo nautilus | 22:08 |
| soundray | shiki9: your system will run with 1GB. If you can upgrade, though, you should, just to make your life easier. | 22:08 |
| Ultrahex | m1nds1llus1on: ok .... so i used envy same result though | 22:08 |
| uffo | or they are directly deleted | 22:08 |
| _MichaelL_ | Hmm | 22:08 |
| matthew | george when I use my live usb stick every few times it freezes for some reason | 22:08 |
| _MichaelL_ | Imali ko ziv ovde | 22:08 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: why not ? .. please expand your train of thought. | 22:08 |
| shiki9 | ok i'll see if i get another 1GB module | 22:08 |
| Lr5 | Is there a way to open terminal on the folder you have open in nautilus? | 22:09 |
| shiki9 | thanks for the advice | 22:09 |
| matthew | if I change the boot order to first boot being usb it wont load | 22:09 |
| omeu | ziv, kako to mislish? | 22:09 |
| soundray | uffo: they go to /root/.local/share/Trash | 22:09 |
| _MichaelL_ | P` da zna srpski | 22:09 |
| _MichaelL_ | :D | 22:09 |
| bushwacker | it stopped at: Configuring Apt: Scanning mirror | 22:09 |
| linguini | Now I get: 'eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device' | 22:09 |
| matthew | I have to select the boot option and select usb disk | 22:09 |
| omeu | :) | 22:09 |
| bushwacker | why does it get farther each time I try? | 22:09 |
| matthew | idk why | 22:09 |
| galano | hello to all | 22:09 |
| Maxflax | How do I remove the use of pulseaudio in Intrepid - in is the biggest bug ever made | 22:09 |
| george_ | matthew: I haven't booted successfully even once from the usb | 22:10 |
| matthew | see if there is a boot option at startup | 22:10 |
| matthew | bios boot option not the usb | 22:10 |
| joaopinto | SOF4LNX, because linux/unix servers can be perfectly managed from a text console, and any extra piece of software on a server expands the attack vector for security exploitation | 22:10 |
| george_ | matthew: there is "removable device" it is the first option | 22:10 |
| matthew | usually f10 | 22:10 |
| george_ | matthew: the first option in the bios, i mean | 22:11 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: No, not if they are only local apps. I understand if youre thinking of web management crap | 22:11 |
| bushwacker | any ideas please? | 22:11 |
| tiredbones | bushwacker, what would be the package name that i should remove? | 22:11 |
| joaopinto | SOF4LNX, local apps are also exploitable in some cases | 22:11 |
| bushwacker | i dunno, what are you trying to remove? | 22:11 |
| matthew | idk I don't use the usb thingy anymore | 22:12 |
| excelsium[uk] | :o | 22:12 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: Go ahead and exploit these then :) www.gadmintools.org good luck! :) | 22:12 |
| Yuji1 | ikonia: Ubuntu doesn't show boot logo any more, just text output. How to change? | 22:12 |
| tiredbones | bushwacker, an old version of flash. | 22:12 |
| george_ | matthew: my hard disk isn't working anymore so i want to use the usb until i get a new one.. anyway | 22:12 |
| uffo | soundray: but it wont show nothing in there after deletion with gksudo nautilus, i checked with gksudo nautilus and with my normal nautilus | 22:12 |
| matthew | reboot and look for a boot option | 22:13 |
| uffo | soundray: if i delete with normal account files are in trash | 22:13 |
| matthew | I just had an idea | 22:13 |
| george_ | matthew: the only boot option besides the hard disk, network, and cd-rom is "removable device" and i have set it first | 22:13 |
| _Snoop_ | hi | 22:14 |
| george_ | matthew: the usb stick is a 2GB Kingston Data Traveller, if it does matter | 22:14 |
| matthew | Anyone know if you can install on a usb disc and make change then do a disc dumb and burn that iso to dvd and use that ? | 22:14 |
| joaopinto | SOF4LNX, a plain server with lighttpd+mysql+php are sufficient reasons for security concern, I don't need more reasons, thanks :) | 22:14 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: See my point and that semi hard knowledged users cannot out-configure what highly experienced/server/gui people can let you configure | 22:14 |
| willy_ | hi | 22:14 |
| Dominik1 | my linux mashine is behaving like a windows mashine would when the harddrive is fragmented, what could cause this problem? | 22:15 |
| soundray | uffo: if you delete a file with gksudo nautilus using the "Move to Deleted Items" option, it will be moved to /root/.local/share/Trash/files/ | 22:15 |
| _Snoop_ | I got a very basic question: In grub, if I want to boot to a a different runlevel, I just have to add a <runlevel> number at the end of the kernel parameter, right? | 22:15 |
| blip99 | hi all, i installed sleuthkit with autopsy frontend from the ubuntu 8.04 repos.... but i only have the option to export file by file... is there a way to export all files batch mode since i've got 130GB worth of data | 22:15 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: these are for eaxample made in C and GTK+ only. Theres no other server to worry about then what server it controls | 22:15 |
| zsquareplusc | Dominik1: maynbe it is running updatedb or trackerd | 22:15 |
| matthew | domink your machine sounds like it is behaving like a windows user is running it | 22:15 |
| Dominik1 | zsquareplusc: not at the moment, trackerd is disabled for good | 22:16 |

| poboy975 | what is wubi? | 22:25 |
| harlekin | poboy975, you have to configure a terminal server if you want to do it over ethernet | 22:25 |
| jamman | jacaopinto...DOES IT? | 22:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !usb | poboy975 | 22:26 |

| DIFH-iceroot | !wubi | poboy975 | 22:26 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: I feel that a Linux "AD" would be good. A daemon that would run on a master server and distribute user credentials thruout the network servers. Something i aim to release in a while btw. | 22:26 |
| ubottu | poboy975: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 22:26 |

| Yuji1 | zsquareplusc: vga=799 was missing. | 22:26 |
| jamman | jcaopinto, i'm talking about a program that u have to install...its not installed already!!! | 22:26 |
| matthew | poboy if I were you I would use wubi | 22:26 |
| poboy975 | ok wubi, will it allow the laptop to boot to it via pxe? | 22:26 |
| FFighter | soundray, cool, so with 32bits I would not be able to use the full 4GB of RAM? | 22:26 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: The windows people have something like it but its always very slow to distribute the credentials | 22:26 |
| matthew | pxe ? | 22:27 |
| SEJeff | http://ecchi.ca:8000/Sans%20titre.jpg New pic of mark shuttleworth | 22:27 |
| PCessna | pxe? | 22:27 |
| harlekin | poboy975, then you must set up a terminal server! | 22:27 |
| poboy975 | the laptop does not have an operating sys of anykind | 22:27 |
| zsquareplusc | Yuji1: ah yes. so that it use a framebuffer and not the old text mode screen | 22:27 |
| joaopinto | jamman, if no one answers, is because no one of us use it, we do not know, there is no point repeating | 22:27 |
| SOF4LNX | joaopinto: Sounds like a nice app ? | 22:27 |
| Yuji1 | zsquareplusc: Ah, screen resolution actually... | 22:27 |
| matthew | oh | 22:27 |
| soundray | jamman: it's Windows software. You may be able to run it in wine. Better to look for Linux alternatives, though | 22:27 |
| poboy975 | ok, whats the best way to setup terminal server | 22:27 |
| PCessna | I already asnwered jamman | 22:27 |
| jamman | does the program 'roboform' work on ubuntu 8.10? | 22:27 |
| PCessna | jamman, please try install in. type in terminal "sudo apt-get update" them open synaptic, reload and see if its in the list. | 22:27 |
| PCessna | ok? | 22:27 |
| faryshta | FFighter, 32 bits distros can handle on top 2^32 bytes which is 4gb if you also have swap and memory on you GPU then you will loss many memory without use. | 22:27 |
| jamman | ok...thanks soundray!!! | 22:27 |

| PCessna | sudo apt-get install wine | 22:30 |
| joaopinto | soundray, I think that's the name for it | 22:30 |
| PCessna | as for that other request | 22:30 |

| treefolk | unrar-non free package in synaptic... | 22:31 |
| kri | matthew: command not found (I can install it from apt-get unrar) but i wounder if its realible. Everytime i install something form appitude its 1 year old packages. | 22:32 |
| PCessna | 1.) sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get (the programs name) | 22:32 |
| soundray | tiredbones: you ran that command and it installed the old version? | 22:32 |

| faryshta | yeah, isn't it cool | 22:33 |
| faryshta | '?? | 22:33 |
| matthew | yep | 22:33 |
| tiredbones | soundray, would you like me to paste the output to the web? | 22:33 |
| joaopinto | matthew, not really, unless you are on the US | 22:33 |
| soundray | tiredbones: okay, next we're going to try removing it, then also remove the cached download archive to ensure we're installing version 10 | 22:33 |
| matthew | it is my 3rd command every install | 22:33 |
| soundray | tiredbones: no, I think the picture is pretty clear | 22:33 |
| faryshta | but totally useful. | 22:34 |
| matthew | joaopinto it was a joke | 22:34 |
| joaopinto | :P | 22:34 |

| bushwacker | Guys for some reason my Ubuntu install ALWAYS stops at Configuring apt: Scanning mirror: 43%. Should this step take long? My CD drive seems to have stopped activity, it is a lot quieter now. I have tried it with two different CD/DVD drives so far. | 22:34 |
| bushwacker | How can I fix this? | 22:34 |
| matthew | treefolk grow up grow a pair | 22:34 |
| faryshta | matthew, my computer runs only free software, disabled all the restricted drivers and found free codecs to play my stuff. | 22:34 |
| faryshta | yet I have no problems other use non-free software. | 22:34 |
| matthew | faryshta same here | 22:34 |
| soundray | tiredbones: you want to run 'sudo updatedb' again and 'locate libflashplayer.so' so you know what to remove to get rid of version 9 again. Then you do a 'sudo rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/*', then the reinstall command again. | 22:35 |
| matthew | I always try to find free alternatives | 22:35 |
| joaopinto | bushwacker, that usually happens when the installer is unable to contact the mirrors to check for updates | 22:35 |
| kompulsa_dot_com | beep only works when I type sudo before it, help? | 22:35 |
| bushwacker | joaopinto: what should I do? | 22:35 |
| matthew | but I really need win32codec and libdvdcss for a few things | 22:35 |
| === mike is now known as Guest3501 | ||

| kompulsa_dot_com | soundray: Yes. | 22:36 |
| faryshta | etfb, I haven't used gambas. It wasn't me, sorry :( | 22:36 |
| etfb | joaopinto: Well, I've had a look at it, and it's excellent! Really top-quality stuff, streets ahead of anything else in Linux. Better quality than VB, of course; up there with Delphi! | 22:36 |
| Pelo | mn8086, you mean the icon in the tool bar ? you can look in menu > system > admin > network , there might be a show icon there | 22:36 |
| joaopinto | bushwacker, when I had the problem in the past, I have switchted to another console with CTRL-ALT-FN | 22:36 |
| matthew | mumbles you can get hat in add remove programs you kno w | 22:37 |
| etfb | joaopinto: You've just changed how I do Linux software development. I owe you a drink! | 22:37 |
| bushwacker | joaopinto: in the alternate install? | 22:37 |
| joaopinto | bushwacker, then I have checked the apt upadte pid with "ps -ef", and killed, the install process just resumed | 22:37 |

| soundray | kompulsa_dot_com: on System-Preferences-Sound Preferences-Sound, have you got the "Play alerts..." box ticked? | 22:39 |

| matthew | mumbles open synaptic and enable univese multiverse and all those other repos | 22:39 |

| joaopinto | bushwacker, probably | 22:42 |
| bushwacker | joaopinto: its not there, but log-ouput -t apt-setup is | 22:42 |

| jamman | soundray: no it doesn't! the flashing thing doesn't even move! | 22:43 |

| savid | jamman, there's this thing called a period!! | 22:44 |
| bushwacker | now it moved into select and install software | 22:44 |

| endlessguitar | I have no clue | 23:26 |
| BHSPitCSP | But since you're on Ubuntu-eee, you can do anything with it you can do with a normal Ubuntu system. | 23:26 |
| joshua24 | anyhow if you have a software installer than you can try to install Gnome or Kde or XFCE... your pick | 23:26 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | I'm finally up to speed and have installed Gutsy, how do I resize an mpeg photo to make it emailable? | 23:26 |
| Anacranom | I have been using Ubuntu since 6.10 and have had minor issues (completely fixable) with each dist upgrade, but nothing like this one to 8.10 , Are any of you seeing a lot of this? Are many people just staying with 8.04 or are there fixes for all the issues? | 23:26 |
| joshua24 | BH he does not like the gui.. thats his problem | 23:27 |
| joshua24 | :| | 23:27 |
| BHSPitCSP | endlessguitar: you're trying to make it like a normal desktop? | 23:27 |
| endlessguitar | ye | 23:27 |
| joshua24 | install gnome if thats case | 23:27 |
| endlessguitar | exactly | 23:27 |
| Dominik1 | so I keep reading that Linux is supposed to be faster then windows.. vista maybe. But the point is I have had Windows XP run fine on this mashine for ages, and now all the sudden if I have one to many tabs open in mozilla or if I try to edit images in GIMP the mashine starts to seriously lag, and it behaves like it has a fragmented disk, but I realize that that concept doesn't apply to Linux, so what is wrong? Is it that I installed | 23:27 |
| kdogg | endlessguitar it is a 64 bitpc you should be able to install any os on it | 23:27 |
| endlessguitar | how I do that? | 23:27 |
| joshua24 | download the ubuntu disk if your lazy | 23:27 |
| Guest96693 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/16286 | 23:27 |
| BHSPitCSP | endlessguitar: if you can get to a terminal on there, try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" without quotes, or "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" for a faster XFCE-based desktop | 23:27 |
| cw51 | l3d: your refresh rate shouldn't matter at all if it's >=60hz if your using an lcd | 23:27 |
| endlessguitar | ok | 23:27 |
| n8tuser | Anacranom-> why even upgrade? | 23:28 |
| BHSPitCSP | endlessguitar: ubuntu-desktop is the normal ubuntu, but it may be too slow on an eee | 23:28 |
| joaopinto | Dominik1, how much RAM do you have ? | 23:28 |
| endlessguitar | I try the commnd | 23:28 |
| faryshta | endlessguitar, XFCE is very recomendable, is more stable and fast than gnome. | 23:28 |
| endlessguitar | yeh | 23:28 |
| Dominik1 | joapinto: 480 | 23:28 |
| Anacranom | Dominik1, do you have swap enabled? | 23:28 |
| joshua24 | or in synaptic (if its on eee edition) go ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop ubuntu is gnome kubuntu kde and xubuntu XFCE | 23:28 |
| endlessguitar | xfce | 23:28 |
| endlessguitar | ok | 23:28 |
| joshua24 | i use gnome myself | 23:28 |
| Dominik1 | Anacranom: 2 gigs | 23:28 |
| endlessguitar | what will I write? | 23:28 |
| coolace | can anybody tell me how to find the location (/dev/...) of a given device?¿ pleeeeeease.. :D | 23:28 |
| BHSPitCSP | endlessguitar: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 23:28 |
| endlessguitar | ok | 23:28 |
| daaaman64 | I have a spare hdd drive, I need windows for something (that I am certain off), so I need a quick review of bootloaders, if install windows onto a seperate hdd, it's not gonna ef with my bootloader on my main drive right? | 23:28 |
| jaakkome | Hey all... is there still a lot of problems with 8.10 and nvidia video cards? | 23:28 |
| Anacranom | Dominik1, but is it enabled and in use? | 23:28 |
| kyle205 | coolace: what type of device? | 23:29 |
| BHSPitCSP | endlessguitar: it will probably ask you for your password, and also to confirm Y or N | 23:29 |
| joshua24 | darn BH how fast do u type... lol i couldnt even finish typing and it was up from u lol | 23:29 |
| joaopinto | Dominik1, I wouldn't expect much with less 512 MBs, are you are about misinformed, Ubuntu is not just Linux, you also have Gnome which is not tha light | 23:29 |
| Dominik1 | Anacranom: yes Htop reports it as in use (239 megs) | 23:29 |
| coolace | a hauppauge tv tunner | 23:29 |
| joaopinto | ops, a bit | 23:29 |
| endlessguitar | ok Installing now | 23:29 |
| joshua24 | kool | 23:29 |
| endlessguitar | then | 23:29 |
| joaopinto | Dominik1, I would use xubuntu for anything < 512mb | 23:29 |
| l3d | ok but why is it under windows at 1028x768 its 75htz but under ubuntu I have to use 800x600 to get that? | 23:29 |
| daaaman64 | anyone know? | 23:29 |
| joshua24 | now on login screen you need to select gnome | 23:29 |
| joshua24 | when its done | 23:29 |
| uffo | hello can someone give me lastest flash player 9 to me (libflashplayer.so) | 23:29 |
| Dominik1 | and this lagging really happens when I approach the end of my ram, within like 40 megs, but then it doesn't efficiently swap, it really behaves as if the disk were badly fragmented | 23:30 |
| joshua24 | o wait xfce my bad | 23:30 |
| Anacranom | Dominik1, for the longest time mine was not and was having similar issues, someone here can help,,, was tons faster for me after fixing, but that was a long time ago and i cant remember how | 23:30 |
| joshua24 | and it will boot into XFCE | 23:30 |
| joaopinto | Dominik1, if you don't have enough free physical mem, your system will be swapping, which is worse than fragmentation :P | 23:30 |
| Dominik1 | Anacranom: fixing what? | 23:30 |
| Dominik1 | jaopinto: so your saying windows can swap more efficiently then linux? cause I swaped under windows tooo, but it never lagged that bad | 23:31 |
| l3d | lcd ubuntu 8 04 | 23:31 |
| Dominik1 | joaopinto: so it isn't the fault of linux, or UBUNTU, but it is GNOME's fault? | 23:31 |
| Anacranom | n8tuser, well, i'm not going to on my main box, but did try on this laptop,,, after a few hours trying to fix stuff, i just fresh installed 8.04 and all was good again | 23:31 |
| joaopinto | Dominik1, well, or firefox :P | 23:32 |
| Dominik1 | in other words I have to switch to xubuntu (which I did not enjoy) to make this mashine run? | 23:32 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, the usage of swap makes that effect on disk since is writting and reading at the same time. the laser goes and struggle a lot. | 23:32 |
| daaaman64 | anyone? | 23:32 |
| n8tuser | Anacranom-> yep a fresh install is much preferable | 23:32 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, you can enable compiz and emerald on XFCE. | 23:32 |
| === d is now known as Guest65215 | ||
| Dominik1 | joaopinto: yea I REALLY get problems when I run firefox, what options do I have for browsers? FF2? | 23:32 |
| faryshta | there is nothing to miss here. | 23:32 |
| joaopinto | Dominik1, try ff2, opera, epiphany, etc | 23:32 |
| Dominik1 | faryshta: I do not understand | 23:33 |
| MTecknology | I just installed something and now when I launch openbox, I get the error "Xsession: warning: xrdb command not found; X resources not merged." how can I fix this? | 23:33 |
| Guest96693 | Dominik1 i think that the latest ubuntu release expects everyone to have at least 2g ram 4ghz cpu/s not like older linux | 23:33 |
| Dominik1 | faryshta: you say that swap has that effect, but it didn't under windows : (, and what do you mean by emerald on XFCE? | 23:33 |
| Dr_willis | !find xrdb | 23:33 |
| AutoMatriX | hi folks, sound systems seem to dissapear, even a custom made sound 'theme' is gone :( | 23:34 |
| AutoMatriX | anybody heard of that problem ? | 23:34 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, the usage of swap is to store memory of ram on the hard drive then when is using a program it needs to read and write on there which is more slow than do it on conventional ram. | 23:34 |
| Dominik1 | damn it guys, why do OS's keep moving up with hardware requirments when in the past beautifull effects were achived with much less, it just seems that OS's keep getting more power hungry, but what am I getting out of it | 23:34 |
| Dr_willis | xrdb is in ---> x11-xserver-utils - X server utilities | 23:34 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatriX: well have you checked your sound preferences... | 23:34 |
| shredder12 | try testing with different options.. | 23:34 |
| Ddorda | Hey! there is any way to use the sources of 8.10 on 8.04 without upgrading? | 23:35 |
| shredder12 | someone should work.. | 23:35 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, emerald and compiz can be used on XFCE. Just install them and then you can do two things: | 23:35 |
| Anacranom | n8tuser, no, 8.04,,, i went back, and all was good,, the 8.10 was a fresh install- and nothing worked, video (res-max 600x400) sound, wireless- nothing... outside of adding noacpi acpi=off to the kernel line 8.04 works out of the box | 23:35 |
| joaopinto | Ddorda, no | 23:35 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, first) compiz --replace every time you want to enable them. | 23:35 |
| Guest96693 | package question http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/16286 | 23:35 |
| Ddorda | so from now and on i need to update everything by myself? | 23:35 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, second) edit a .conf file to get it by default. | 23:35 |
| AutoMatriX | shredder12, everything is ok, but when I try to set some other sounds to some events, such as a mouseclic or a windowshut, those settings are 'forgotten' | 23:35 |
| dli | Ddorda, what do you mean? do you want backports? | 23:35 |
| denysonique | kam | 23:35 |

| Ddorda | i want to have updated programs | 23:36 |
| dli | Ddorda, upgrade to 8.10, then | 23:36 |

| Ddorda | but 8.10 is lame! i'e just came back to 8.04 | 23:36 |
| Ddorda | i've* | 23:36 |
| Dominik1 | Ddorda: is 8.4 faster?? | 23:37 |
| AutoMatriX | shredder12, they just seem not to be reminded :( | 23:37 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatriX: So, you are having problems with system sound.. | 23:37 |
| faryshta | Dominik1, drag and drop is there. I use it. | 23:37 |
| Ddorda | well.. no. but it doesn't have billions of bugs | 23:37 |

| daaaman64 | dominik1, okay ya I figured, just never know how over-arching windows can be... | 23:40 |

| Guest96693 | Dominik1 sorry, guess not. | 23:40 |
| darkbishop_ | eNons3nse:use vlc player then | 23:40 |
| dli | Ddorda, show the exact error message | 23:40 |
| tapas | what's this i | 23:40 |
| Ddorda | yes, and from iwconfig | 23:40 |
| eNons3nse | as soon as i upgraded it happened. nautilus shows 0 items in the folder but there are lots of folders and files in there. terminal shows them all fine. and it's only that folder that it happened to. | 23:40 |
| Guest65215 | my gdmsetup wont load, can anyone assist me, please | 23:40 |
| tapas | little program called that reacts to the volume keys on my thinkpad? | 23:40 |
| dli | Ddorda, you mean the wireless driver issue? | 23:40 |
| Ddorda | I don't have it anymore... i told you i'e just came back from 8.10 to 8.04 | 23:40 |
| Ddorda | yea | 23:40 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatriX: well where do you really configure the sound for such events.. | 23:40 |
| darkbishop_ | Guest65215: in text or in gui | 23:40 |
| Guest65215 | gui | 23:40 |
| Dominik1 | damn so frustrated | 23:41 |
| Ddorda | and i'm not going to install it back soon | 23:41 |
| mike909 | does anyone know of a good article for services that can be disabled, if not needed? (ie bluetooth, ipv6 etc.) | 23:41 |
| AutoMatriX | shredder12, preferences, sound | 23:41 |
| eNons3nse | it's like nautilus doesn't see the contents of this 1 folder any more | 23:41 |
| Guest65215 | it loads then goesoff | 23:41 |
| Guest96693 | Guest65215 gdm won't load ? no graphical login screen ? | 23:41 |
| Anacranom | eNons3nse, hrm, was worth a shot, i'd try to make a ne w dir in /home, then try to sudo cp /path/to/video/parentdir/* /home/newdir/ as a test | 23:41 |
| Guest65215 | no the setup | 23:41 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatriX: then what do you really mean by "forgotten" ( you specified it earlier..) | 23:41 |
| eNons3nse | Anacranom: yeah, i'll try that | 23:41 |
| Guest96693 | Guest65215 gdm? | 23:41 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatriX: wht's the problem you are facing while dealing with settings... | 23:42 |
| kdogg | mike909 yu could always go through your services list and google them one by one | 23:42 |
| Guest96693 | Guest65215 are you saying the gdm configuration application is failing ? | 23:42 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatrix: are the settings correct and you are still not able to play the sound.. | 23:42 |
| shredder12 | ?? | 23:42 |
| AutoMatriX | shredder12, when I change from my personal settings to lets 'ubuntu studio' settings, everything is ok | 23:42 |
| Guest65215 | yes | 23:42 |
| Anacranom | eNons3nse, do you have /home on a separate partition? | 23:42 |
| Guest96693 | Guest65215 ok. that makes more sense. check that you can sudo sudo echo boo | 23:43 |
| AutoMatriX | shredder12, but I cannot go back, the 'changed' sound settings all dissapeared | 23:43 |
| Guest65215 | yes | 23:43 |
| eNons3nse | Anacranom: no. this file i'm having problems with is on an external drive though | 23:43 |
| mike909 | kdogg, thanks, but it seems like theirs more 'running' than what's listed in those services. Guess I should have worded it as "processes" that can be disabled? | 23:43 |
| Guest65215 | it comes back boo | 23:43 |
| AutoMatriX | shredder12, did I make myself understandable now ? | 23:44 |
| Anacranom | eNons3nse, what fs is the drive and what extensions to the videos have? | 23:44 |
| Guest65215 | the window shows then disappears | 23:44 |

| kdogg | http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/slim-down-and-speed-up-linux-333798.php | 23:44 |
| shredder12 | AutoMatriX: yes you have quite a bit..but i m not able to understand that how can you not shift to ur earlier sound configuration..after changing it to some other one.. | 23:45 |
| eNons3nse | Anacranom: drive is ext3. there are probably lots of different file types in there. | 23:45 |
| Guest96693 | Guest65215 that sounds like gksudo failing is why i asked you to check sudo. i dont know. | 23:45 |
| Anacranom | eNons3nse, ok, just curios | 23:45 |
| mike909 | yea, saw that one, thanks. At guess I'm on the right track with my searching. | 23:45 |
| kdogg | np :D | 23:46 |
| Guest96693 | Guest65215 find what application is running and call it in a terminal you might get an err message that way | 23:46 |

| Anacranom | eNons3nse, I gtg for a few min,, let me know how it goes, if not here i'll be in #seaphor | 23:46 |

| ari_stress | tilkster: asterisknow is a distro | 23:55 |
| MaximLevitsky | btw, beware that you need to do dpkg --purge pulseaudio, after you removed it | 23:55 |
