| Lancelot | can I use ubuntu 8.10 commands in my xubuntu terminal? | 02:00 |
| TheSheep | Lancelot: depends, but mostly yes | 02:01 |
| TheSheep | Lancelot: you will want to use 'mousepad' instead of 'gedit', that's for sure | 02:01 |
| wormsxulla | hello. i have a usb adapter in which i put my phone memory card. on windows, when i "eject" it, the light turns off. on xubuntu, it doesn't shut down when i unmount it. is it normal? | 02:13 |
| Necrosan | yes | 02:14 |
| wormsxulla | so there is no way to be sure it's unmounted? it still appears in thunar | 02:15 |
| mhd720 | hello | 03:25 |
| aaron_ | can I use ubuntu 8.10 scripts in my xubuntu terminal? | 04:09 |
| aaron_ | i mean, do they work? | 04:09 |
| === aaron_ is now known as Lancelot | ||
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: what kind of scripts? | 04:11 |
| Lancelot | http://www.dailygyan.com/2008/11/10-things-you-should-do-immediately.html | 04:15 |
| Lancelot | those ones, 0dd-rationale | 04:15 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: you mean those commands? | 04:24 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: all of those commands will work on all ubuntu machines... | 04:24 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: although, i would reccomend getting the info off the official website... | 04:24 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 04:25 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: Nor am i particularly fond of acroread... | 04:26 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: also, you might just want to install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" meta-packages, as it contains flash, java, and a bunch more codecs... | 04:27 |
| Odd-rationale | Lancelot: libdvdcss2 and w32codecs can be gotten from medibuntu repo, as shown in the link i posted above. | 04:27 |

| gabkdlly | hi | 09:22 |
| RAVTUX | gabkdlly: whats up? | 09:23 |
| gabkdlly | I am contemplating the possibility to privatize government. What is up with you? | 09:24 |
| RAVTUX | recovering from going to the dentist then biting my own lip when it was numb | 09:26 |

| dosingrat | When trying to install from CD, just when the installer begins loading it switches to the ash shell. We didn't even get to keyboard settings. What might be a problem. ISO file downloaded from Xubuntu site. Thank you. | 10:40 |
| nonie | hello, | 16:19 |
| nonie | how can i configure the wifi to 64bit wep passphrase | 16:20 |
| nonie | it shows me 40/128 setting | 16:20 |
| nonie | anyone? | 16:20 |
| gabkdlly | hi | 16:22 |
| gabkdlly | my network configuration tool is only showing me a hexidecimal option and an ascii option. Then again, I am using gutsy. | 16:23 |
| gabkdlly | nonie: did you just go ahead and try the 40/128 option? | 16:23 |
| TheSheep | maybe they meant 40-128? you know, they can guess by the length of the passphrase you actually enter... | 16:26 |
| vidd | gabkdlly, what kind of encryption do you have? | 16:30 |
| gabkdlly | I also use wep | 16:30 |
| vidd | gabkdlly, wep only has hex and ascii | 16:31 |
| vidd | gabkdlly, check your router's wep settings....it will be set to either hex or ascii | 16:32 |
| gabkdlly | yeah, sorry, I meant to tell that to nonie | 16:32 |
| vidd | you will want it to match | 16:32 |
| vidd | ah...nvmd then | 16:33 |
| gabkdlly | looks like we lost nonie | 16:33 |
| nonie | im still here just went to the restroom | 16:36 |
| nonie | yep i tried 40/128 just doest work | 16:36 |
| nonie | actually its in my office network | 16:37 |
| nonie | all is running except this | 16:37 |
| nonie | i have pclinuxos running wifi without any problem | 16:37 |
| vidd | nonie, perhaps you may want to look into wicd | 16:38 |
| vidd | http://wicd.sourceforge.net | 16:39 |
| nonie | wicd, is it on synaptics too. | 16:39 |
| vidd | no | 16:39 |
| nonie | ill check in the website you gave me. hold on. | 16:39 |
| vidd | you would need to either download the .deb or add the repo | 16:39 |
| vidd | nonie, it will require you to completely uninstall the default network manager in *buntu | 16:40 |
| nonie | network manager in synaptics? | 16:41 |
| vidd | nonie, when you try to install it, it will tell you the conflic | 16:45 |
| vidd | fix the conflict and you will be good to go | 16:45 |
| nonie | ok i wil try it right now. | 16:46 |
| nonie | tnx guys.let you know if it works or not. | 16:46 |
| vidd | nonie, i think wicd is used by pclinuxos by defaut | 16:47 |
| nonie | good, then ill be getting two linuxes working.... | 16:47 |
| nonie | do i have to remove the network manager first? | 16:47 |
| vidd | nonie, wicd is a wonderful tool....VERY simple to get working on any linux | 16:47 |
| nonie | i added the wicd website in the repos and the public key | 16:48 |
| vidd | nonie, just do the apt-get install..... | 16:48 |
| nonie | ok | 16:48 |
| * vidd added it via dpkg so his install was different | 16:48 | |
| nonie | if you install wicd via synaptic it removes the network manager prior to install. | 16:54 |
| nonie | just doing it right now. | 16:54 |
| nonie_ | insalled wicd but it cannot detect my wireless interface | 17:20 |
| nonie_ | i used ndiswrapper to check the interface and it detects it. | 17:20 |
| nonie_ | only on wicd it cannot. | 17:20 |
| vidd | nonie_, you need to go into your /etc/network/interfaces and comment out the interface for it | 17:21 |
| nonie_ | yep i did it | 17:22 |
| nonie_ | the auto lo | 17:22 |
| nonie_ | iface lo inet loopback | 17:22 |
| nonie_ | it was automatically created after install | 17:23 |
| nonie_ | i used application/system/wireless drivers to check if the wireless | 17:27 |
| nonie_ | car is detected. but if i try to configure it. | 17:27 |
| nonie_ | i cannot | 17:27 |
| nonie_ | i configure the network and gives me an error cannot find configuration on network | 17:28 |
| nonie_ | i chcked with ndiswrapper -l and it shows the wireless card | 17:33 |
| nonie_ | strange... | 17:37 |
| nonie_ | anybody? | 17:40 |
| buzz_ | anyone here used the "remote desktop viewer" which comes with xubuntu - binary is called "vinagre". if i run it and put in an ip and press connect it jsut crashes! | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | buzz_: does it show any messages when you run it from terminal? | 18:09 |
| buzz_ | TheSheep, yup http://pastebin.com/m730d779f | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | buzz_: looks like you found a bug, can you please report it? | 18:11 |
| TheSheep | !bugs | buzz_ | 18:11 |
| ubottu | buzz_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 18:11 |
| buzz_ | thanks yeh i have plenty of open bugs on launchpad. but i was hoping others might have this problem, i fear it is only me,. aah well | 18:12 |
| TheSheep | buzz_: it might be related to your graphics card and/or drivers | 18:12 |
| buzz_ | it is this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/287542 but i am unable to fix it like this guy | 18:13 |
| wormsxulla_ | hello. can i install a .rpm package on xubuntu? | 18:13 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: yes, but it's not recommended | 18:13 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: better find a deb | 18:13 |
| wormsxulla_ | TheSheep: i couldn't find a deb :-( what is the difference? | 18:13 |
| buzz_ | TheSheep, any other remote desktop client guis for gtk ? | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: rpm's are packages used by redhat and similar distros, they are from different distrbutions | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: so there may be difference in what goes where | 18:15 |
| TheSheep | buzz_: I don't use any, so don't know | 18:15 |
| buzz_ | ive confirmed that bug anyway, so it might get attention at some point. although i lost hope with all my open bugs on launchpad for kubuntu related stuff! | 18:15 |
| wormsxulla_ | TheSheep: may i show you the site i've found with the package, so maybe you'll see if it's "maybe ok" or "not ok at all"? | 18:16 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: sure | 18:16 |
| wormsxulla_ | http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mercury-messenger i want the last one in the table | 18:16 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: http://mercury.im/#Download | 18:18 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: does it have to be 1.8? | 18:19 |
| wormsxulla_ | TheSheep: this only offers 1.9, and i want 1.8 | 18:19 |
| wormsxulla_ | (i know, i'm weird) | 18:19 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: http://thebachman.info/public/Versions_Ubuntu/mercury-messenger-1.8.deb | 18:19 |
| wormsxulla_ | yes. 1.9 is full of bugs :) | 18:20 |
| wormsxulla_ | oh | 18:20 |
| wormsxulla_ | how did you find it? | 18:20 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: I edited the url for 1.9 ;) | 18:21 |
| wormsxulla_ | hmm, it points to 1.9 | 18:21 |
| TheSheep | bleh | 18:21 |
| wormsxulla_ | :) you did what? | 18:22 |
| TheSheep | in the repo there is only 1.9 too :/ | 18:23 |
| wormsxulla_ | trying to upgrade me without my consent! ;-) | 18:23 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: how about 2.0? | 18:23 |
| wormsxulla_ | yeah, i wonder where old deb packages go, they seem to just vanish | 18:23 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: you could ask them | 18:24 |
| wormsxulla_ | TheSheep: i'm pretty sure it has (and don't want to experience) MORE bugs. - i've read the forums! i trust 1.8 | 18:24 |
| wormsxulla_ | TheSheep: hehe | 18:25 |
| wormsxulla_ | also, i'm on gutsy, so 2.0 will probably want me to be on hardy or something | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | I wouldn't know | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: btw, that rpm seems to be made from deb | 18:26 |
| wormsxulla_ | nor i! :) | 18:26 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: you could try it with alien | 18:26 |
| TheSheep | !alien | 18:26 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 18:26 |
| wormsxulla_ | TheSheep: so that "could" work? according to Your Great Knowledge Of Those Things | 18:26 |
| wormsxulla_ | ah | 18:26 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: I have no personal experience with alien | 18:27 |
| * wormsxulla_ kinda like aliens :) | 18:27 | |
| wormsxulla_ | but still, not everyone has the latest versions, aren't they kept in some big dustbin on the internet? | 18:28 |
| wormsxulla_ | aren't the oldest, i mean | 18:28 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla_: nope, the internet we use is already the dustbin | 18:29 |
| wormsxulla_ | :) | 18:29 |
| wormsxulla_ | you're using web 2.0, i'm still on 0.09 | 18:30 |
| vidd | wormsxulla_, alien is ok in a pinch....but in my experience, getting the latest deb...even if its a version or too behind the rpm works better then alien'ing the rpm in | 18:44 |
| wormsxulla_ | vidd: ah. so i should try to find the latest 1.8 deb *somewhere* | 18:45 |
| wormsxulla_ | humpf | 18:45 |
| zoredache | you could find the source package for 1.8 and recompile it | 18:46 |
| wormsxulla_ | zoredache: i don't know how to compile :-( | 18:48 |
| blender_ | what was the question | 18:49 |
| wormsxulla_ | the question about "compile"? | 18:55 |
| blender_ | just says "don't know how to compile" | 18:56 |
| wormsxulla_ | yes. that's a fact, not a question :) | 18:57 |
| blender_ | anyone know of a better way to use and install bitchx | 18:58 |
| blender_ | so what are you trying to install? | 18:58 |
| blender_ | compile? | 18:58 |
| wormsxulla_ | mercury messenger 1.8 :) | 18:59 |
| blender_ | and why do you compile that package | 19:00 |
| blender_ | ? | 19:00 |
| blender_ | they have a .dev | 19:00 |
| blender_ | .deb | 19:00 |
| wormsxulla_ | i don't | 19:00 |
| wormsxulla_ | they do? | 19:00 |
| wormsxulla_ | where? | 19:01 |
| blender_ | then what's the problem? | 19:01 |
| blender_ | http://mercury.im/ | 19:02 |
| wormsxulla_ | finding the 1.8 deb package when everything which seem to still exist is 1.9 or 2.0 | 19:02 |
| blender_ | is it just for support of msn chat? | 19:02 |
| blender_ | the one they have listed is 1.0 | 19:03 |
| blender_ | 1.9 | 19:03 |
| wormsxulla_ | so zoredache said: then compile it, and then you arrived while i said: i don't know how to, etc. etc. | 19:03 |
| wormsxulla_ | no | 19:03 |
| blender_ | compile is super easy | 19:03 |
| wormsxulla_ | sure | 19:03 |
| blender_ | depending on how many packages you're missing | 19:03 |
| blender_ | generally the readme file explains everything | 19:03 |
| blender_ | ./configure | 19:04 |
| blender_ | make | 19:04 |
| blender_ | make install | 19:04 |
| wormsxulla_ | blender_: thanks, but compiling isn't for me | 19:04 |
| blender_ | three very simple commands | 19:04 |
| blender_ | ok | 19:05 |
| blender_ | so then...you don't have an issue | 19:05 |
| Odd-rationale | what about checkinstall | 19:05 |
| Odd-rationale | ? | 19:05 |
| Odd-rationale | !checkinstall | 19:05 |
| 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! | 19:05 |
| blender_ | yeah and | 19:06 |
| blender_ | make clean | 19:06 |
| blender_ | you know where a nice bitchx package might be found...other than bitchx.org | 19:07 |
| blender_ | bitch.com | 19:07 |

| gasmask | Hi. I set up a RAID 5 with mdadm, set it up with ext3 filesystem following this guide http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188. I also added this line to fstab to mount on boot: /dev/md0 /var/media auto defaults 0 3. But when I reboot, the array is not mounted, and when I try to mount it, it says it doesn't exist! I then assemble the array with: mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1. I then can mount it. How c | 22:04 |
| gasmask | an I have this happen automatically? | 22:04 |
| === wormsxulla_ is now known as wormsxulla | ||
| zoredache | gasmask: you might need to updated your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 22:09 |
| gasmask | hmmm, what would I need to add to it? | 22:09 |
| zoredache | on my system I let the installer setup the array. I have a line in there like this -- ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=77b3d5b0:fa7122be:77105787:fefc690b | 22:10 |
| gasmask | ok, I'll check that out | 22:11 |
| zoredache | do a man mdadm.conf to information about the file. My guess is that you would need to put something like that line that describes your array | 22:11 |
| gasmask | ok, thanks | 22:12 |
| gasmask | awesome! | 22:13 |
