| Guest96693 | Grant931 can't own/mod non-*nix filesystems there is no permissions/ownership bits. | 00:02 |

| n8tuser | CorpseFeeder-> sudo ddcprobe and see if it detects it, if you dont have ddcprobe install xprobe | 00:04 |

| Peter_G | I am completely new to Ubuntu, and have a weird question. I just installed 8.1 on a laptop. I have a small game program, about 3M in size. It is a single file executable, so no installation or packages or anything (sort of like an old DOS program). But it won't work on Ubuntu. A friend of mine had the game, and he copied it to his home directory, and it ran. When I do that, it still won't run. Is there something in the setting to enable runni | 00:16 |
| Peter_G | ed to set permissions on it, or something else? | 00:16 |
| Grant931 | hello again | 00:16 |
| Grant931 | thanks for the help before | 00:16 |

| aross1 | any cairo-dock users that could help with an odd icon problem? | 00:31 |
| poboy975linux | server wont start | 00:31 |
| andrew__ | no idea on that website | 00:31 |
| Grant931 | that explains why data is destroyed when USB drives aren't properly unmounted | 00:31 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: cairo-dock is awesome ;) | 00:31 |
| poboy975linux | doesnt give error | 00:31 |
| Flare183 | FloodBot2: I know | 00:31 |
| zabbadapp | ompaul: Your DNS-server maybe still haven't updated, so you still get the correct ip, but mine has (i mean that there might be something fishy going on, but has not propagated to all name servers yet?) | 00:31 |
| Flare183 | duh | 00:31 |
| thompa | Flare183: the cursor is kubuntus and 2 network managers | 00:32 |
| Flare183 | thompa: wow | 00:32 |
| ari_stress | poboy975linux: to troubleshoot dhcp server, open another terminal and do: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog, the error will shown there | 00:32 |
| iShock | Hey guys. I'm trying to set up tspc OR GW6C, but it's not going well. Anyone care to help me set it up? Highlight me if so D: Running Ibis | 00:32 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: yes, but cairo-dock is tricky when it comes to icons, you have to specify them directly, path-wise | 00:32 |
| djors | hi everybody | 00:32 |
| thompa | Flare183: they are little problems but annoying and common | 00:32 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: i agree, but i can't get some of my appli launchers to keep the focus when the program runs. | 00:32 |
| Dominik1 | what does the GNOME settings daemon do? | 00:32 |
| CorpseFeeder | n8tuser: ok ddcprobe worked, detected the graphics no problem. | 00:32 |

| Izinucs | !audio > Izinucs | 00:32 |
| ubottu | Izinucs, please see my private message | 00:32 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: yes, this is a problem with the way cairo-dock tracks the applications running | 00:33 |

| thompa | Flare183: the 2 network managers is know issue but now I have also complaint of language pack | 00:33 |
| poboy975linux | ok, can i paste the error msg here? | 00:33 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: such as that i'll have my azureus launcher on the right, and then another one on the left (designating a running program) | 00:33 |

| rdw200169_ | aross1: for example, to get it to focus thunderbird, i have to put in the cairo-dock launcher 'thunderbird-bin' but i actually run it with | 00:33 |

| djors | does anybody knows how to setup a avermedia tv card with ubuntu ? | 00:34 |
| Flare183 | Dominik1: Yes | 00:34 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: you mean thunderbird-bin as the command or class? | 00:34 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: b/c a lot of times the name of the application running doesn't match this executable | 00:34 |
| thompa | Flare183: OK tanks | 00:34 |
| ari_stress | ok poboy975linux let me see | 00:34 |
| Grant931 | !spanish > anjelcarlosomar1 | 00:34 |
| ubottu | anjelcarlosomar1, please see my private message | 00:34 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: simply, when you right click on a cairo-dock launcher, you get 'modify launcher' or something like that | 00:34 |
| CorpseFeeder | n8tuser: yes. it says "oem: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000" which is close enough. | 00:34 |
| Flare183 | thompa: np | 00:34 |
| Dominik1 | Flare183: yes to what? | 00:34 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: this is where i put thunderbird-bin, under command to run, or something like that | 00:35 |
| ari_stress | poboy975linux: that's not a dhcpd error, are you setting up a dhcp server or as a client? | 00:35 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: then, when thunderbird is running, i don't have a separate icon | 00:35 |
| outlaw6860 | Hey, I am having problems setting up wireless, I had this card working before I formatted my computer and upgraded to 8.10. the wireless utility did now work before either. I tried going into the console and typed "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid<myessid> key <my128bitkey>". It seemed to associate with the access point as I was able to get signal strength and link quality to show. | 00:35 |
| saruji | hey guys got a question: how do I install winff in ubuntu 8.10? | 00:35 |
| iShock | Hey guys. I'm trying to set up tspc OR GW6C, but it's not going well. Anyone care to help me set it up? Highlight me if so D: Running Ibis | 00:35 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: just the highlight under the launcher | 00:35 |
| Dominik1 | what does Account information resolver do, is it necessary? | 00:35 |
| n8tuser | CorpseFeeder-> how about the modes and the rest of the info? if they match, your driver seem to work okay then | 00:35 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: ok, thanks. i've edited most of them by hand already, but i'll have to look into what name they run under | 00:35 |
| Flare183 | Dominik1: your question | 00:35 |
| poboy975linux | im trying to setup dhcp as server, so i can do a pxe install from this machine to another | 00:35 |
| Grant931 | I wish someone would write a filesystem that worked with both Linux and Windows that has journaling besides MurderFS | 00:35 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: the problem is, thunderbird won't launch from thunderbird-bin | 00:35 |
| iShock | Hey guys. I'm trying to set up tspc OR GW6C, but it's not going well. Anyone care to help me set it up? Highlight me if so D: Running Ibis | 00:35 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: just check using the ps command, like ps -AF, it will tell you the t | 00:36 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: so you have thunderbird-bin as the command and then, say, thunderbird for the class? | 00:36 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: 'true' name an application is running under | 00:36 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: ok, will do | 00:36 |
| iShock | Hey guys. I'm trying to set up tspc OR GW6C, but it's not going well. Anyone care to help me set it up? Highlight me if so D: Running Ibis | 00:36 |
| CorpseFeeder | n8tuser: yes, they all seem to correspond with what I got in 8.04 | 00:36 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: i'm not classing my applications | 00:36 |
| ari_stress | poboy975linux: the package name is dhcp3-server | 00:36 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: is it not really necessary? | 00:36 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: i just keep the ones i use all the time, i.e. firefox, thunderbird, etc..., i.e. the ones that i never shut off | 00:36 |
| iShock | Hey guys. I'm trying to set up tspc OR GW6C, but it's not going well. Anyone care to help me set it up? Highlight me if so D: Running Ibis????????????????????? | 00:36 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: in the main toolbar | 00:37 |
| n8tuser | CorpseFeeder-> what was the issue again in yours? | 00:37 |
| Dominik1 | will cpu frequency monitor still work if I deactivate CPU frequency manager? | 00:37 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: i just right click on the cairo-dock bar and do "+add manual launcher" | 00:37 |
| poboy975linux | i already installed the dhcp3-server package | 00:37 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: i was under the impression that it would it could keep applis ofthe same class in the same icon | 00:37 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: although it doesn't really work that way | 00:37 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: it works well for me, the applications i use *all* the time are always there | 00:37 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: yeah, it's buggy in that respect | 00:38 |
| ari_stress | poboy975linux: then you need to setup /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, in your pastebin, i don't see any error with dhcp server | 00:38 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: i like it because it doesn't, ever, crash, and looks a lot nicer than a panel dedicated to running applications | 00:38 |
| CorpseFeeder | n8tuser: every time I boot the laptop, it says "blah blah blah.. running in low graphics mode.. could not detect your graphics card.. yada yada yada... you need to reconfigure this manually".. then when it finishes booting up, everything looks fine. | 00:38 |
| guestguestnew | guys, is there a calendar application that is integreated with gnome that automatically notifies you of events you scheduled? | 00:38 |
| poboy975linux | ok, just a sec | 00:38 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: that, and it works in metacity, looks like garbage, but it works, so that if compiz crashes, i still have a little access | 00:38 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: yea, it really makes the wife happy that it looks like a mac but without the pricetag | 00:39 |
| yeryry | CorpseFeeder: I just got that message, but it ended up in lowres.. | 00:39 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: but so far the stability has been comendable | 00:39 |
| ph8 | hi all, can anyone tell me how to install codecs so amarok can play .wma files? | 00:39 |
| poboy975linux | ok here go http://paste.ubuntu.com/72138/ | 00:39 |
| LoveGuru | is there anyhelp with " grsecurity " or any tutorial which one can help me out with install/configuration. thanks. | 00:39 |
| ari_stress | poboy975linux: this is nice to give you some ideas: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server | 00:39 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: ok, gotta run, thanks for the help! | 00:39 |
| iShock | Does my friend need to forward a port to install xchat? | 00:39 |
| n8tuser | CorpseFeeder-> i dont know how to correct that, | 00:39 |
| CorpseFeeder | yeryry: I get the message every time, but it always loads up gnome in high res like normal | 00:39 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: but i don't get rid of my gnome panel, i keep that on top, i just use the cairo-dock to keep track of running applications, because trying to keep then in the taksbar using alltray crashes when switching window managers | 00:39 |
| ari_stress | iShock: what do you mean? | 00:40 |
| rdw200169_ | aross1: good luck! | 00:40 |
| outlaw6860 | ishock: not to install it | 00:40 |
| aross1 | rdw200169: thanks bud | 00:40 |
| sirjoebob | hey all. is there an easy way to make an iso into a bootable flash drive (NOT ubuntu iso) | 00:40 |
| iShock | outlaw6860, for me to vncviewer to help him I mean | 00:40 |
| Izinucs | Where is the login sound located? I'm getting two playing at the same time Hardy & Ibex. | 00:40 |
| iShock | Does my friend need to forward a port to let me vncviewer in to help him install xchat? | 00:40 |
| ari_stress | sirjoebob: i believe a CD iso cannot be "burn" into flashdisk | 00:40 |
| Izinucs | iShock: yes.. 5600-5700 I think | 00:40 |
| guestguestnew | guys, is there a calendar application that is integreated with gnome that automatically notifies you of events you scheduled? | 00:41 |

| ari_stress | iShock: oh. yes | 00:41 |
| Grant931 | or will it open my partition up to attacks? | 00:41 |
| sirjoebob | ari_stress, thanks. i was just wondering. i am trying specifically to get a bootable Hirens USB disk for a friend who has a toughbook with no optical drive | 00:41 |
| outlaw6860 | ishock: just have him put his computer in dmz but not to leave it like that | 00:41 |
| ari_stress | Grant931: i think it's ok. who's going to attack your partition? | 00:41 |
| platius | ph8; look at http://medibuntu.org | 00:41 |
| Flare183 | ph8: I will hold on | 00:41 |

| ph8 | cheers platius | 00:41 |
| Grant931 | ari_stress: people normally don't need a reason to do malicious activity | 00:42 |
| Izinucs | Where are sound theme's sounds located? the stock ubuntu one's | 00:42 |
| outlaw6860 | why would a wireless card show up in iwconfig but not ifconfig? | 00:42 |
| rdw200169_ | sirjoebob: shouldn't be a big deal, check this out http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 00:42 |
| ari_stress | outlaw6860: good question | 00:42 |
| Grant931 | will this cause any vulnerabilties to open up, like someone deleting everything on my partition? | 00:43 |
| Izinucs | outlaw6860: one for wired one for wireless just in case you have two cards installed.. maybe.. | 00:43 |
| ari_stress | Grant931: no, i don't think so, as long as you secure your samba and ssh | 00:43 |
| CorpseFeeder | I remember seeing something in the release notes about upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 relating to an issue with ATI cards, but I can't seem to find it.... | 00:43 |
| Grant931 | I don't use samba or ssh | 00:44 |
| sirjoebob | rdw200169_, I am trying to put a hirens boot cd on a usb drive. i dont think this will work for that purpose. | 00:44 |
| ari_stress | Grant931: then at least the physical security of your computer, you will be fine | 00:44 |
| rdw200169_ | sirjoebob: it's simply, if you wanna do it the hard way, a matter of installing grub onto a usb drive, and partitioning accordingly, | 00:44 |
| ari_stress | rdw200169_: really? | 00:44 |
| rdw200169_ | sirjoebob: anything is possible ;) | 00:44 |
| outlaw6860 | ari_stress: yea but doesn't it use ifconfig to control if the card is up or down and to link an ip address to it? | 00:45 |
| Grant931 | ok, thanks :) | 00:45 |
| outlaw6860 | ari_stress: thats the way I seem to remember it, mabye i'm wrong | 00:45 |
| sirjoebob | rdw200169_, i will have to mess with it later. i am about to head out of work. thanks for the help | 00:45 |
| d1ng0 | coud anyone help me, I'm trying to get ubuntu to install on my old aspire 1355LC, but for some reason the installation ends and dumps me back to a command prompt... | 00:45 |
| rdw200169_ | ari_stress: sirjoebob, the bios doesn't care, all it's looking for is a bootloader, this is special for CD's, but not for usb drives, if the motherboard supports booting via USB, it's expecting the same stuff it expects from a HDD | 00:45 |
| ari_stress | outlaw6860: in my notebook, ifconfig shows wlan0, dont know why it's different in yours | 00:45 |
| ari_stress | d1ng0: that's difficult, might be hardware probs. you need to google | 00:46 |
| guestguestnew | guys, is there a calendar application that is integreated with gnome that automatically notifies you of events you scheduled? | 00:46 |
| guestguestnew | guys, is there a calendar application that is integreated with gnome that automatically notifies you of events you scheduled? not evolution | 00:46 |
| outlaw6860 | ari_stress: using iwconfig I can get the card to associate to the access point but I dont know if the card is up or not | 00:46 |
| rdw200169_ | ari_stress: so it's simply a matter of using grub, or something like it, to direct the bios to the appropriate OS related stuff | 00:47 |
| Dominik1 | is opera open soure? does anybody know? | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik1, no its not. as far as ive seen | 00:47 |
| n8tuser | outlaw6860-> iwconfig does not associate it, dhclient will | 00:47 |
| rdw200169_ | ari_stress: it's the same rules that apply to a HDD | 00:47 |
| LF|Irssi | no it's not | 00:47 |
| ari_stress | outlaw6860: we can see the action in: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | 00:47 |
| rdw200169_ | ari_stress: the trick is making sure your mobo supports usb booting | 00:47 |
| Dominik1 | Dr_willis: :( | 00:47 |
| ari_stress | rdw200169_: nice! :) | 00:47 |
| outlaw6860 | i'll take a look at those two things then | 00:48 |
| foolz | how do I find out what sound card my computer has from Ubuntu? | 00:48 |
| rdw200169_ | ari_stress: but all is not lost, if you still want to boot via usb, you could use GRUB installed on a HDD to point to a USB drive post BIOS, but that's more difficult | 00:48 |
| LF|Irssi | rdw200169_: do you know when about "Usb booting" bios/motherboards started coming out? i have a 3 year old dell, but im not sure if it supports that or not. | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | <Dominik1> be thankfull its free no $$, and not ad-supported any more. :) | 00:48 |
| Cav | I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on another computer, I am at step 5 of 7 where it asks for user names, etc...the problem is my keyboard is non responsive. If I quit the install and restart, I get the same thing each time. Keyboard works as I swapped with my windows machine. Been to the install help, and couldn't find anything regarding keyboard issues. Any help? | 00:48 |
| LF|Irssi | Dell 2400 Demension | 00:48 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: well, i'm pretty sure Dells work, i saw one a couple years ago that supported boot via USB | 00:48 |
| LF|Irssi | cool | 00:49 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: you should check, it's the same place you specify boot order in the bios config | 00:49 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: if not, there might be a BIOS firmware for your laptop that enables it | 00:49 |
| LF|Irssi | ok thanks rdw200169_ ill look into that (its not a laptop) :) | 00:49 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: or you could do something much more difficult, this flashing the bios with another one... (don't do it;)) | 00:49 |
| musikgoat | foolz: you can check with lspci | grep "audio" | 00:49 |
| JAM` | intrepid has broken my webcam :< | 00:49 |

| croddy | when i type on the numpad, my mouse cursor moves slightly. i remember this was happening to me for a long time before, but i forget what i did to disable it. i'm using gnome on 8.10. anyone know what's up? | 00:50 |
| n8tuser | JAM`-> into pieces? hehe | 00:50 |
| platius | foolz lshw -C sound | 00:50 |
| croddy | (the mouse moves slightly, but no numbers come out, that is) | 00:50 |
| foolz | thanks guys | 00:50 |
| JAM` | n8thyoung, no ;D | 00:50 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: yeah, dell's have a surprisingly good history for being on the cutting edge with obscure things like that | 00:50 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: as do IBM's | 00:50 |
| Dominik1 | Dr_willis: yea but I like the idea of being open, now I don't know if I wanna support it : ( | 00:50 |

| LF|Irssi | ok good to know thanks :) | 00:50 |
| rdw200169_ | LF|Irssi: but emachines, no, good thing they were killed :) | 00:50 |
| JAM` | but it used to work on Hardy (and everything I've tried before Hardy), but it doesn't work at all on Intrepid | 00:50 |
| n8tuser | iShock-> what is that tspc anyways? | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik1, then dont use it.. :) i keep opera installed as a backup browser , most of the time.. it does have some neat features | 00:51 |
| rdw200169_ | iShock: i have tspc working right now ! | 00:51 |
| guestguestnew | BrickHaus: but thats an online calendar? | 00:51 |
| n8tuser | JAM`-> you still have the old hardy? see if the drivers from the old is same as in the new | 00:51 |
| iShock | rdw200169_ Help me set it up in PM? :D | 00:51 |
| rdw200169_ | iShock: have you ever used ipv6 before??? | 00:51 |
| rdw200169_ | sure | 00:51 |
| iShock | rdw200169_ Yeah, I used freenet6/afraid.org on Windows | 00:51 |
| croddy | 1234 nevermind, i found it in prefs. but i wish i knew what i did that enabled this. | 00:51 |
| JAM` | n8thyoung, it doesn't work on the new fedora either | 00:51 |
| n8tuser | iShock-> stay here on the main channel so that others can share the knowhow | 00:51 |
| Cav | ari_stress so I take it that is a new one on the install part? | 00:52 |
| BrickHaus | guestguestnew: Yes. Integrated into a Firefox plugin. So what? | 00:52 |
| JAM` | there's been some 'improved webcam support' although it seems to have removed support for mine ;o | 00:52 |
| oakmac | I have an external sound card. Sometimes it crashes and I have to restart it (it's a hardware problem I've had to years). When this happens, how do I tell Ubuntu to "reload" this piece of hardware? Right now I have to reboot my computer in order to get sound back. | 00:52 |
| Dominik1 | Dr_willis: i have 480 megs of ram, I need something much lighter then FF3... mhh FF2? | 00:52 |
| n8tuser | JAM`-> well you may have to re-install hardy to make it work again.. | 00:52 |
| JAM` | :( | 00:52 |
| oakmac | the external sound card is USB, btw | 00:53 |
| n8tuser | JAM`-> well sometimes the latest is not the greatest :) | 00:53 |

| emilien | Dominik1, try dillo , or opera | 00:53 |
| Dominik1 | Dr_willis: I already tried seamonkey and swift fox, swift fox wasn't any faster and seamonkey just sucked (no features) | 00:53 |
| mib_6306it | After setting up 16GB of swap space (I have 8GB of RAM), I'm left with 277 GB of disk space. How would you divide it between / and /home? | 00:53 |
| Peter_G | Hey, ari_stress: I did exactly as you said, and it works! It works like a dream! Thank you so much for all your help. | 00:53 |
| Dominik1 | emilien: opera isn't open source :( | 00:53 |
| croddy | Dominik1, epiphany? | 00:53 |
| BrickHaus | guestguestnew: Ah. Ok. I see. If you don't like that then you should research what Open Office has to offer. I'm sure they have some kind of Calendaring template that you can install | 00:53 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik1 guess you painted yourself into a corner then... good luck. :P | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis | links -g ! :) | 00:54 |
| croddy | i don't know whether epiphany will be any lighter, but it's worth a try | 00:54 |
| emilien | Dominik1, dillo is very light but is also very basic .. | 00:54 |
| Izinucs | Dominik1: elinks? | 00:54 |
| musikgoat | mib_6306it: your root dir doesn't need to be more than 5 to 10GB | 00:55 |
| Dominik1 | emilien: I would like to support to open source community | 00:55 |
| musikgoat | mib_6306it: the rest give to /home | 00:55 |
| mib_6306it | musikgoat: so if I really wanted to be generous I could do 17GB root, 260 home | 00:55 |
| musikgoat | mib_6306it: assuming you are using this as a personal machine, not a web server or anything | 00:55 |
| musikgoat | mib_6306it: sure | 00:55 |
| oakmac | Any thoughts on the sound card issue? | 00:55 |
| mib_6306it | musikgoat: development machine | 00:55 |
| oakmac | how to tell ubuntu to reload my USB device? | 00:56 |
| Dominik1 | lol, most importantly it has to be able to synchronize bookmarks, is there one that can do that that is not ff or opera? | 00:56 |
| musikgoat | mib_6306it: yeah, i cant imagine you'll even come close to using 17GB if home is separate, so have at it | 00:56 |

| Cav | I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on another computer, I am at step 5 of 7 where it asks for user names, etc...the problem is my keyboard is non responsive. If I quit the install and restart, I get the same thing each time. Keyboard works as I swapped with my windows machine. Been to the install help, and couldn't find anything regarding keyboard issues. Any help? | 00:56 |
| Dominik1 | and how does FF2 compare, I never used to have issues before FF3 came out, but everybody says FF3 is "faster" so I always though I had different issues | 00:56 |

| Dr_willis | Dominik1, i doubt if the terminal programs are that much more optmized/speedier in xubuntu then ubuntu... You could install the xuuntu terminal ifyou like it better... | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | I thought Xubuntu used 'Terminall' by default vs. gnome-terminal in gnome | 01:00 |
| Dominik1 | Dr_willis: the reason why im asking is cause I installed the xubuntu desktop, so now I have alot more applications in the accessories | 01:00 |
| Izinucs | leppie-: check out the nvidia linux forum. I was there today and just happened to remember something about xinerama causing issues on the 7/8 series boards.. there's also suggestions on how to get more performance out of your card.. | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | Dominik1, xfce seems very 'closely' related to gnome in a lot of what it does/libs/other bits.. | 01:01 |
| d1ng0 | so, who can help me with the ubuntu 8.10 install problem ? It throws some firmware errors that flash by too fast to notice, and then ends and throws me back to ... a command prompt. | 01:01 |

| Dominik1 | Dr_willis: I will now evaluate FF2, if that does the trick I don't have to move to Opera ... hold your thumbs | 01:02 |
| Meshach | d1ng0: Do you have a corrupted CD? | 01:02 |
| ari_stress | guestguestnew: i found several interesting packages: gkrellm-reminder - useful reminder plugin for gkrellm, remind - a sophisticated reminder service | 01:02 |

| Lancelot | i want to un-mount my ext. hard drive | 01:04 |
| Dominik1 | emillien: I have always been FF fan but since FF3 I am started to hate it, bloat makes me upset, just because hardware is advanceing doesn't give the coder the right to slack on efficiency | 01:05 |
| musikgoat | sachaquel: /usr/lib/ | 01:05 |
| ari_stress | bthornton: it should show you the tomcat welcome page | 01:05 |
| n8tuser | Lancelot-> sudo fuser -k /dev/sdX | 01:05 |

| n8tuser | Lancelot-> sudo fuser -k /dev/sdX or maybe its -m | 01:06 |

| ari_stress | bthornton: how about sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat restart | 01:06 |

| Lancelot | ummm | 01:06 |

| guestguestnew | ari_stress: its the gui of remind for gkrellm? | 01:07 |
| BrickHaus | Lancelot: why are you trying to force and umounting? | 01:07 |
| CorpseFeeder | I must be blind or stupid... I am SURE I read somewhere in the Ubuntu 8.10 upgrade release notes that there was an issue with ATI graphics cards... but I can't seem to find it anywhere on hlep.ubuntu.com..... | 01:07 |
| Meshach | BrickHaus: Totally agree! | 01:07 |
| Meshach | BrickHaus: :D | 01:07 |
| ari_stress | guestguestnew: it's the GUI for remind. waw! it has some advance options too | 01:08 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; u ther | 01:08 |
| jrib | !notes | CorpseFeeder | 01:08 |

| musikgoat | Lancelot: if its not mounting it, then you shouldn't have to umount it | 01:08 |
| BrickHaus | Lancelot: that sounds like an fstab issue. /etc/fstab | 01:08 |
| CorpseFeeder | aha - that's it.. fanx! | 01:08 |
| d1ng0 | it doesn't give any errors that I can recognize. I'm like 80% newbie, but familiar somewhat | 01:08 |
| guestguestnew | ari_stress: does remind notify you automaticall without having to turn it on? i tried sunbird but i needed to open it first before it would give me my reminders | 01:08 |
| LF|Irssi | This is offtopic but if anyones having issues getting samba working, install the GUI frontend for it, Gadmin then run 'gadmin' in terminal (its in the repos) it really helped me :) | 01:08 |

| CorpseFeeder | Hmmm... my card doesn't appear to be in the range of cards mentioned which are supposed to have issues :( | 01:10 |
| ari_stress | guestguestnew: you only need this: remind and tkremind, no need gkrell | 01:10 |
| ari_stress | guestguestnew: let me try it by rebooting my ubuntu | 01:10 |
| BrickHaus | Lancelot: that is more than likely an fstab issue. I don't know. Every user doesn't have the /etc/fstab file configured the same. It all depends on how many drives you have and how they're partioned | 01:10 |

I'm attempting to follow the steps of various guides on forums, but I seem to be stymied by the fact that dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg is just producing an extremely generic xorg.conf file containing just 3 sections (screen/monitor/etc) each containing just a single identifier line. | 01:29 |

| buu | Is there a better way to produce an xorg.conf that more accurately reproduces my hardware? | 01:30 |

| ryanfabros | Hello | 01:52 |
| ryanfabros | I just installed ubuntu for the first time... I have a question... Anyone can help? :P | 01:52 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: the resolution is too big I can barely see anything | 01:52 |
| scunizi | lyken2, that's a video card issue.. what kind of card do you have? | 01:53 |
| musikgoat | lyken2: system -> preferences -> screen resolution | 01:53 |
| kompulsa_dot_com | I think that mtpfs should come preinstalled on Ubuntu distributions. | 01:53 |
| d1ng0 | n8tuser: a 512MB memory, AMD 2600 should be enough now should it. | 01:53 |
| lyken2 | Musickgoat: tried and failed | 01:53 |
| musikgoat | lyken2: then listen to scunizi | 01:53 |
| musikgoat | heh | 01:53 |
| scunizi | musikgoat, that only works when the video driver is configured correctly | 01:53 |
| GodfatherofEire | For God's sake, will somebody tell me exactly what the GtkRC file is? | 01:53 |
| n8tuser | d1ng0-> but video driver for it may not be supported? | 01:53 |
| musikgoat | scunizi: i misunderstood his statement, thanks | 01:53 |
| csilk | GodfatherofEire, GtkRC controls the theme of your desktop, (I think) | 01:53 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: I removed the video card. This pc is one I've found and fixed (mostly) | 01:54 |
| csilk | GodfatherofEire, also, learnToGoole -_- | 01:54 |
| csilk | 01:54 | |
| scunizi | lyken2, so what kind of card is in it? | 01:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | csilk, I did google it, and the only results were for modding it | 01:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | I couldnt find anything else on it | 01:54 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: onboard, I can't have the video card anymore because when I play video the pc shuts off | 01:54 |
| ryanfabros | Anyway, I'll just throw this out there: I've tried reading how to install nvidia drivers but when I go to System=>Administration=>Hardware Drivers it's not there (I'm using the latest Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop). Also, I can't set my screen resolution more than 800x600 :( | 01:54 |
| csilk | GodfatherofEire, I'm sure at somepoint you must of some across description of what it is | 01:54 |
| musikgoat | lyken2: if you have video, then you have a video card, even if its connected to the motherboard | 01:54 |
| lianimator | GodfatherofEire: gtkrc is the configuration file of the gtk-window-decorator and the theme | 01:54 |
| scunizi | lyken2, so it's an onboard video card.. do you know what kind it is? | 01:55 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ah, thanks lianimator | 01:55 |
| lianimator | GodfatherofEire: if you were to make a new theme, you'd have to make a gtkrc file | 01:55 |
| scunizi | lyken2, nvidia? ATI? Intel? SiS | 01:55 |
| GodfatherofEire | And has there been any word on fixing usplash in 8.10. | 01:55 |
| lyken2 | scunizi:the motherboard says Aopen, but since I've found this custom pc in the junk I know nothing else | 01:55 |
| musikgoat | GodfatherofEire: you have that beep problem? | 01:55 |
| ryanfabros | I'm using Nvidia tnt riva btw. | 01:55 |
| robertcarpenter | is there a way to restrict a copy or move to only files owned by a certain user? like a user filter on cp? | 01:55 |
| Ruge | w00t | 01:56 |
| Ruge | got my ubuntu installed | 01:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | Musikgoat, no, it just doesnt load. Nada, less I use splashy or the default ubuntu usplash | 01:56 |
| LF|Irssi | !yay | Ruge | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Ruge: Glad you made it! :-) | 01:56 |
| musikgoat | GodfatherofEire: oh, then i'm not sure | 01:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | Lianimator, I just didnt want to mess around with something I had no Idea what it did | 01:56 |
| scunizi | lyken2, open a terminal from Applications/Accessories and type lspci in all lower case letters.. after hitting enter there will be a lot of stuff listed. Look for the video card reference. | 01:56 |
| karen | can anyone help me with a xubuntu problem? | 01:56 |
| BHSPitCSP | !ask | 01:57 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 01:57 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: how do I give you the results without flooding the channel | 01:57 |
| karen | oook | 01:57 |
| BHSPitCSP | !pastebin | 01:57 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 01:57 |
| karen | my touchpad mouse is too slow in xubuntu, how can i modify it? | 01:58 |
| ryanfabros | I've tried reading how to install nvidia drivers (using TNT RIVA) but when I go to System=>Administration=>Hardware Drivers it's not there (I'm using the latest Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop). Also, I can't set my screen past 800x600. Anyone can advise? | 01:58 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: nvm, I think this is it. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter | 01:58 |
| musikgoat | !pastebinit | lyken2 Also this is nice | 01:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit | 01:58 |
| musikgoat | what? | 01:58 |
| GodfatherofEire | so, nobody knows of any fix for the boot splash other than to use splashy? | 01:58 |
| musikgoat | !info pastebinit | 01:58 |
| ubottu | pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10-1 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 88 kB | 01:58 |
| LF|Irssi | i think its !info <command> yeah there ya go :) | 01:58 |
| scunizi | lyken2, Yep.. sounds like it.. hang on and I'll get you a command that might fix it. | 01:58 |
| musikgoat | LF|Irssi: heh, thanks | 01:58 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: thank you! | 01:59 |
| lianimator | GodfatherofEire: one day I'll learn how to edit the gtkrc file.. sometimes I spend days tweaking a theme.. | 01:59 |
| Fenix|home | Greetings... how do I go about installing Ubuntu on a computer with a dead CD Rom? | 01:59 |
| lianimator | Fenix|home: try USB | 01:59 |
| LCF | fenix USB? | 01:59 |
| musikgoat | Fenix|home: if your mobo supports it, you could install from usb | 01:59 |
| scunizi | lyken2, type this in a terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 01:59 |
| lianimator | Fenix|home: or borrow a CD-rom from another computer. ;) | 02:00 |
| graham-pol | Does anyone know how to patch WoW on Ubuntu, it's not cooperating with wine. | 02:00 |
| Fenix|home | It's an old laptop | 02:01 |
| Fenix|home | and I don't think it supports USB booting | 02:01 |
| lyken2 | scunizi: was something supposed to open? I got this. warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration | 02:01 |
| lianimator | Fenix|home: how would you install other OSes? | 02:01 |
| ryanfabros | Okay... I guess I'll just go google again... Bye | 02:01 |
| musikgoat | Fenix|home: how old? i would check this out just in case: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 02:01 |

| Lancelot | I need help fixing my dbus. I'm getting "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.". It broke when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. | 02:02 |
| musikgoat | lyken2: your xorg is broken anyways, so thats ok | 02:02 |
| scunizi | lyken2, that's typical.. now you'll have to restart. ctrl+alt+backspace will restart the gui but in this case you might be better off just restarting. You'll loose this connection.. just log back in. | 02:02 |
| === doug__ is now known as Dougy | ||
| BHSPitCSP | Fixing xorg is a lot trickier ever since they made it bulletproof. | 02:02 |
| lianimator | Lancelot: what did you do to cause this error? For me, inserting a USB flash drive causes this after "Invalid Mount Option" | 02:02 |
| graham-pol | Lancelot: I suggest you downgrate to .04 again. 10 minimises video driver support. | 02:02 |
| BHSPitCSP | It breaks just as often, now it's just more unpredictable :) | 02:03 |

| scunizi | maxbaldwin, I have it running on an old one.. 4+ yrs old.. and it works fine | 02:04 |
| maxbaldwin | c00l2sv: you should try #supybot | 02:04 |
| lianimator | for me the command is: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk | 02:04 |

| BHSPitCSP | matthias: I don't know, did you enter your AP's settings? | 02:06 |
| maxbaldwin | scunizi, how's the Sound working on it? | 02:06 |
| scunizi | maxbaldwin, I think it's working.. never tested it.. it's a headless server | 02:06 |
| musikgoat | LF|Irssi: vi is a symlink to vim i believe | 02:06 |
| BHSPitCSP | arve: I have some very informative pictures of drinking fountains | 02:06 |
| maxbaldwin | oh. My friend wanted to try ubuntu, but he wanted to know if the sound worked out of the box. | 02:07 |
| arve | BHSPitCSP: I am having a hard time seeing how that is relevant, but shoot :) | 02:07 |

| LF|Irssi | Im trying to figure out what "primitive" editor to learn vi/vim, nano, Emacs ,,,,,,nano i pretty much got figured out | 02:08 |
| musikgoat | arve: he wants to connect to windows share, not share his ubuntu files, so smbclient is what he needs | 02:08 |
| BHSPitCSP | arve: I don't have a browser handy at the moment or I'd link you. It's somewhere in Digg's technology section. | 02:08 |

| scunizi | lyken2, that was one of the easiest fixes around.. something told me that would work because you had a different card in there and then removed it... you can see the code at the top of xorg.conf.. 1st paragraph.. type gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:10 |

| Fenix|home | musikgoat, I have a CDROM issue and no OS installed on the laptop | 02:14 |
| Kalela | Scunizi - No... My customer uses Outlook -- he forwarded me two messages within one -- they come as an attachement. When I try to view them, they are .dat files -- pure text. The problem is that one of the attachments is an Outlook message with JPGs attached to it. So, it's all MIME encoded. | 02:14 |
| Fenix|home | I have a second machine with windows | 02:14 |
| matthias | luis_: have installed any program to share yeat ??? | 02:14 |
| ditch64 | anybody know a good MAC IRC channel? | 02:14 |
| musikgoat | Fenix|home: hmm, you said you have an old laptop, does it have floppy? | 02:14 |
| csilk | Kalela, that is an annpyaing yet interesting problem, I'm afraid there is no easy way to sort that out | 02:15 |
| luis_ | not really | 02:15 |
| csilk | *annoying | 02:15 |
| Fenix|home | musikgoat, nope... no floppy. I have a USB floppy but it doesn't recognise it on boot | 02:15 |
| Kalela | cislk -- I'm game for hard, if I can fix it and it doesn't require me to train my customers. lol | 02:15 |
| scunizi | Kalela, ah. I haven't experienced that.. you should ask in #evolution .. but it's on a different server that I can't remember the name of. | 02:16 |
| musikgoat | Kalela: that is a stupid outlook feature, adding emails as attachments to an email, i don't know if evolution would be able to transfer them to an inline email | 02:16 |
| Meshach | ditch64: #mac | 02:16 |
| matthias | luis_: have you tried selecting the directory you like to share and right click on it and select from the menu "sharing options", try it an read forums about using it if not clear, it works for me at least ... | 02:16 |
| tenbytes | hey--any way to open microsoft access files in ubuntu? (mdb) | 02:16 |
| csilk | Kalela, the only "fix" I can think of is to tell the cusomter you don't use outlook so can't read the outlook file and get him to resend accordingly | 02:16 |
| luddite | i cant insert p4_clockmod - error is here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/71675/ | 02:16 |
| Kalela | ok... anyone know that server for #evolution -- to try there first? | 02:17 |

| luis_ | I have already have shared folder on the server that is running ubuntu but when I go to Places and then network it doesn't show up at and neither when I type in the Server name | 02:18 |
| jrib | Meshach: try space bar (tab to move around) | 02:18 |
| musikgoat | Fenix|home: does your laptops bios have the option for usb to be the first boot device? | 02:18 |
| scunizi | Ruge, gfx? you mean geforce? which model? | 02:19 |
| arve | ahddm: i guess the router should have a listing, unless you're using an ad-hoc netword (direct cable between pc's) | 02:19 |
| Ruge | its an ATi Rage Mobility card | 02:19 |
| Ruge | just wondering if there was a means of auto-detection | 02:19 |

| scunizi | Ruge, under System/Admin/Hardware drivers there should be an option to enable the restricted drivers.. after that you're on your own. | 02:19 |
| ahddm | arve: No ad-hoc ok I can ping it from its internet ip but cannot ping the 192.168.0.xxx ip | 02:20 |

| wobblywu | yay, a new punisher movie | 02:30 |
| jrib | Anacranom: I guess I'm not being explicit enough. You need to state exactly what is not working on intrepid and *how* it is not working. And since this seems to be hardware related, you need to give the channel details about your hardware | 02:31 |
| wobblywu | the other one wasn't crappy enough | 02:31 |
| matthias | luis_: one thinfg that comes in mind is that try a ping to the computer fthat you want to connect to and see what happens, it the server does not respond on ping than ythe communication is blocked entirely or by port .... | 02:31 |

| Meshach | marcccc: I've had it happen to me a couple times, restarting the computer usually helps. | 02:34 |
| matthew | meshach what are you looking for exactly ? | 02:34 |
| Meshach | matthew: I'm looking for Adobe Flex for ubuntu 8.10 not flex builder | 02:34 |
| matthew | I don't even see it in synaptic in 8.04 | 02:35 |
| uberneen | I have a raid 5 with three 1tb disks totalling around 1.9tb. One of the disks appears to be faulty, but I can't get the raid started without it. If I get it up and booting my detail says 'active, degraded, resyncing' but it's been on 99% for days. | 02:35 |
| matthew | i don't use 8.10 | 02:35 |
| Anacranom | jrib, ok, so you dont know why 8.10 dropped the support it had in 8.04... as i stated before, Video, Sound, Wireless...... Video= 600x400, audio= non-existent, wireless does not show available networks, nor allow connecting to a manually configured network, however, 8.04 has NO issues with any of this. That is the question. | 02:35 |

| Meshach | lol | 02:36 |
| jrib | Anacranom: "the support". You insist on being vague for some reason. If you are interested in regressions, then check bugs.ubuntu.com. If you are here for troubleshooting help then ask a detailed question with specifics like I explained before | 02:37 |
| Meshach | Well, there is package info here. | 02:37 |
| marcccc | Meshach: Did that, still hangs - very weird. Runs up to 50% cpu in the process manager. | 02:37 |
| Meshach | marcccc: Very peculiar... | 02:37 |
| musikgoat | Meshach: i don't think there is a package for the flex sdk | 02:37 |

| musikgoat | Meshach: now we're getting somewhere, why are you trying to install the latest version of wine, instead of the version in the ubuntu repos? | 02:38 |

| matthew | I'm new to irc | 02:50 |
| rdw200169_ | matthew: makes tracking a convo much easier in this busy place | 02:50 |
| BlueEagle | uberneen: Well the question should have been: Which software do I need. :) | 02:50 |
| matthew | rdw200169_, thanks | 02:50 |
| === freedom is now known as riegersn | ||
| yangxlong02 | oo | 02:50 |
| uberneen | BlueEagle: I use postfix and dovecot. | 02:51 |
| rdw200169_ | matthew: that's why you see people's names mentioned all the time | 02:51 |
| musikgoat | Meshach: ok, i would start with http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb | 02:51 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: have you considered letting google handle your mail? | 02:51 |
| BlueEagle | uberneen: I've had a looksee at the postfix configuration and frankly it scared me. :/ Where can I find a list of alternatives which are easier to configure and doesn't leave me with an open relay? | 02:51 |
| matthew | rdw200169_, I think I asked someone how to do this a few days ago I probably didn't ask right or something | 02:52 |
| musikgoat | rdw200169_: me specifically? i do | 02:52 |
| musikgoat | rdw200169_: why? | 02:52 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: they will let you use your domain to handle mail, i.e. randy@randywallace.com is handled by google for me using google apps | 02:52 |
| BlueEagle | uberneen: ie. I need some way to set a username and password when people want to send mail using that smtp server. | 02:52 |
| hdixon | is there anyone who can help me with my ppc video output problem? anybody? | 02:52 |
| musikgoat | rdw200169_: i'm aware of that, thanks :-) | 02:52 |
| BlueEagle | !anyone | hdixon | 02:52 |
| ubottu | hdixon: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 02:52 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: keeps you from having to set up postfix and that nightmare.... | 02:52 |
| musikgoat | !offtopic | rdw200169_ | 02:53 |
| ubottu | rdw200169_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 02:53 |
| hdixon | i already asked it | 02:53 |
| Meshach | musikgoat: Ok. So just follow the instructions on there? | 02:53 |
| uberneen | BlueEagle: Postfix is pretty easy, especially next to Sendmail. If you want a good configuration frontend, try installing webmin. | 02:53 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: why was that off topic? | 02:53 |
| genii | !webmin | 02:53 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 02:53 |
| musikgoat | Meshach: yes | 02:53 |
| BlueEagle | uberneen: Well I couldn't make heads or tails of /etc/postfix/main.cf tbh. | 02:53 |
| matthew | this is a development channel ? | 02:53 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: i'lll remember not to try to help you | 02:53 |
| matthew | is 8.10 beta ? | 02:53 |
| musikgoat | rdw200169_: not really sure how google apps is related to ubuntu support | 02:53 |
| BlueEagle | !ibex | matthew | 02:53 |
| genii | matthew: No. and No | 02:53 |
| ubottu | matthew: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 02:53 |
| rdw200169_ | matthew: no, that's ubuntu-dev | 02:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Anyone with VMWare 2.0 ... Is there something we can use besides the web inerface? | 02:54 |
| musikgoat | rdw200169_: not that i'm trying to be rude or anything | 02:54 |
| hdixon | Here's my question: I upgraded to Ibex, and now the video output won't display | 02:54 |
| Cpudan80 | *interface | 02:54 |
| matthew | oh | 02:54 |
| Cpudan80 | I really dont like the all webified gui | 02:54 |
| matthew | I stick with the lts releases | 02:54 |
| mkartic | 'No package 'xorg-server' found' <-- how do i fix this? :-\ | 02:54 |
| tedfflamp | 'xorg-xserver' | 02:54 |
| jrib | mkartic: you want xserver-xorg maybe? | 02:54 |
| musikgoat | mkartic: do you mean xserver-xorg? | 02:54 |
| tedfflamp | kk well perhaps so) | 02:54 |
| star | i don't know why Chinese input can't install? | 02:54 |
| mkartic | thanks! | 02:54 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: usually, a convo, for me, ends up in a pm anyway, regardless, i find that this is the place most people go for linux generic help, and sometimes, they just want helping doing something specific, which sometimes can be handled outside linux much easier, i.e. google apps or something | 02:55 |
| Falstaf | I have gotten kdenlive to make this file how do I actually convert it to a avi or mp4 format | 02:55 |
| zutme | Does anyone else have trouble setting a static ip in intrepid? mine always goes back to dhcp after a reboot | 02:55 |
| bazhang | star, install and configure scim | 02:55 |
| matthew | chinese input ? | 02:55 |
| Fenix|home | musikgoat, using a VM and installing to a physical drive worked like a charm | 02:55 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: and in your situation, postfix is a lot for someone new to ubuntu | 02:55 |
| musikgoat | Fenix|home: thats awesome! | 02:55 |
| star | yes | 02:55 |
| Fenix|home | it's a little slow, but I can live with it | 02:55 |
| Fenix|home | should have put server on :) | 02:55 |
| hdixon | ubottu, what I meant was is there a smaller channel where I can ask my question, or a place to get in line, or take anumber? I asked my question about ten minutes ago. It is just too confusing with 1319 people in one chat room! | 02:56 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:56 |
| musikgoat | rdw200169_: i think you may have me confused with someone else, as i haven't talked about mail until you brought it up ;-) | 02:56 |
| bazhang | star also install the FF plugin quick locale switcher | 02:56 |
| Fenix|home | ubottu, bot snack | 02:56 |

| Fenix|home | ubottu, you don't know what you're missing out on | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:56 |
| tedfflamp | too intelligent) | 02:56 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:56 |
| hdixon | hee hee | 02:56 |
| Flannel | hdixon: Best way to get help is to repeat your question every 20-30 minutes, eventually someone will come around who knows how to help. | 02:56 |
| matthew | lol | 02:56 |
| mkartic | lol | 02:56 |
| Flannel | ubottu: tell hdixon about yourself | 02:57 |
| ubottu | hdixon, please see my private message | 02:57 |
| uberneen | BlueEagle: The stock install of postfix shouldn't relay by default. You really should just need to tell it what domain to receive for. | 02:57 |
| hdixon | ok, thanks Flannel. That was what I needed to know | 02:57 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: oh wait, hah, i had you confused with uberneen at 21:51, sorry | 02:57 |
| Flannel | hdixon: in the meantime, you can try looking in the forums, etc. (ubuntuforums.org) | 02:57 |
| rdw200169_ | musikgoat: where my statement would have been relevant... | 02:57 |
| matthew | !bitchx | 02:57 |

| hdixon | Ok, I'll check there again. I couldn't find anything before. | 02:58 |
| mkartic | how do i find a list of running processes [to kill it]? [amarok seems to get lost wen i try starting it on gnome once in a while ] | 02:58 |
| Flannel | matthew: bitchX isn't in the repos anymore because it essentially became abandonware with some major security holes. try irssi instead. | 02:58 |
| bazhang | matthew, dont use the !triggers ; /msg ubottu | 02:58 |
| matthew | flannel i know it is old just seeing if it was still around | 02:58 |
| star | i'd kike install fcitx in Ubuntu 8.10,but it can't run,can anyone tell me how to do it? | 02:59 |
| matthew | bazhang why do you care seriously ? | 02:59 |
| Flannel | matthew: Keeps the signal to noise ratio high. | 02:59 |
| matthew | An honest answer please | 02:59 |
| bazhang | matthew, it adds a lot of noise to a busy channel thats why | 02:59 |
| nite_johnboy | Hi - What the command to run in Terminal that will Give Size of Hard Drive - How much is being used and how much is free space ? ? | 02:59 |

| zutme | Is there any way to keep a static ip in intrepid? It reverts to dhcp after every reboot for me | 03:00 |
| LF|Irssi | you will love irssi when you type /lastlog <search word goes here> OMG it's to die for :) *me hides from the !ot LF|Irssi command* | 03:00 |
| Fenix|home | ugarit, that's an interesting question... many people have different philosophies with partitioning | 03:00 |
| matthew | cool thanks bazhang | 03:00 |
| hellspawn | help! can't fix user permissions on a mounted drive. | 03:00 |
| matthew | bazhang, thanks**** | 03:00 |
| fryguy | hellspawn: be more specific | 03:01 |
| jrib | hellspawn: what filesystem? | 03:01 |
| BlueEagle | uberneen: I think I'm going to try xmail. Thanks for the pointers tho. :) | 03:01 |
| musikgoat | !raid | ugarit Start with reading here: | 03:01 |
| ubottu | ugarit Start with reading here:: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 03:01 |
| Fenix|home | ugarit, if you're going to make one large disk then my philosophy is make one large partition, otherwise you'll have people tell you that you should use a partition for / a partition for /home (your largest partition) one for /var and another for /tmp | 03:01 |
| nite_johnboy | Flannel: The " -h " outputs into Human Readable form correct ? | 03:01 |
| hellspawn | /dev/sdb1 /media/home vfat rw,user,nomand "fstab line" | 03:01 |
| jrib | LF|Irssi: you know about #ubuntu-offtopic right? You should join :) | 03:01 |
| Flannel | nite_johnboy: correct | 03:01 |
| uberneen | Is anyone here experienced with mdadm and raid5? I'm running ubuntu server 8.04 and I have 3x 1tb drives making a ~2tb array. One drive is faulty. The array will come online and I can read it, but it says my state is "active, degraded, resyncing" but I've been at 99% rebuild status for days. | 03:01 |
| nite_johnboy | Flannel: Cool thx | 03:01 |
| LF|Irssi | hehe ok fine :) | 03:01 |
| musikgoat | LF|Irssi: its fun in there :-) | 03:01 |
| fryguy | nite_johnboy: -h and -H present it in 2 different human readable levels, see the manpage for details | 03:01 |

| fryguy | hellspawn: there are no permissions on a fat filesystem (nothing applicable to what you are doing at least) | 03:02 |
| sb118 | hey i just got ubuntu intrepid on my dell xps 1530. The NVIDIA driver is installed, but i still see circles and lines on pictures and backgrounds. How do i fix this? | 03:02 |
| matthew | fat like fat 32 people still use that ? | 03:02 |
| nite_johnboy | fryguy: yes I forgot there is difference in Linux using capitals compared to windows command line - thanks for reminder.... | 03:03 |
| fryguy | hellspawn: the permissions are set at mount time, you can mount as a different user by specifying uid and gid in the mount options, among other solutions | 03:03 |
| star | i'd kike install fcitx(Chinese input ) in Ubuntu 8.10,but it can't run,can anyone tell me how to do it? | 03:03 |
| hellspawn | fryguy: I know .. root and regular user cannot write files to partition | 03:03 |
| hellspawn | or chmod an existing folder to change permissions | 03:03 |

| matthew | oh | 03:05 |
| fryguy | Daxx: debian | 03:05 |
| uberneen | Daxx: I like to get the xubuntu alternate cd and choose the text only installation. From there you can apt-get anything you like. | 03:05 |
| Daxx | is debian pretty barebones? | 03:06 |
| hellspawn | whoops | 03:06 |
| bazhang | !minimal | Daxx only 9mb | 03:06 |
| fryguy | Daxx: yes | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Daxx only 9mb: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:06 |
| hellspawn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/72187/ | 03:06 |
| nite_johnboy | fryguy: Do you know why the " -h " syntax reports a smaller size than the " -H " syntax ? | 03:06 |
| Flannel | Daxx: Debian, and Ubuntu, can be configured to be as heavy, or as light, as you'd like them to be. | 03:06 |
| musikgoat | hellspawn: now paste /etc/fstab | 03:06 |
| fryguy | nite_johnboy: the manpage tells you the details, -h calculates using 1024 for a kilobyte, -H uses 1000 for a kilobyte | 03:06 |

| Quintin | ok | 03:24 |
| fryguy | as far as i know | 03:24 |

| fryguy | Quintin: why | 03:24 |
| Agapito | hi | 03:25 |

| WebcamWonder | Does anyone know of a way to transfer all the tags from F-Spot to digiKam? | 03:25 |
| Quintin | fryguy: it is. I won't debate it with you. | 03:25 |
| javagamer | hi | 03:26 |
| scunizi | WebcamWonder, that's one of the problems with Fspot.. it maintains it's own database.. if you tag pics in Mapivi they are imbedded. | 03:26 |
| sb118 | my firefox isn't opening. I tried downloading seamonkey and konqueror. They didn't open either. I have no access to google to search for a solution. someone please help | 03:26 |
| fryguy | sb118: open up a terminal and type "firefox" and explain what happens | 03:27 |
| scunizi | sb118, install elinks.. it's a terminal based browser.. works good | 03:27 |

| fryguy | arkaoss: password changed, got removed from the admin group, that's about the only 2 reasons | 03:28 |
| sb118 | fryguy: nothing. it just goes to the next line. | 03:28 |
| arkaoss | i can still change things in a bash prompt. | 03:28 |
| genii | arkaoss: PErhaps because root is not supposed to have a password, and you're intended to use the regular password your user with sudo/admin rights has | 03:28 |
| sb118 | musikgoat: they don't open | 03:29 |
| fryguy | sb118: and gives you a prompt again? | 03:29 |
| sb118 | fryguy: yeah | 03:29 |
| WebcamWonder | scunizi, What about digiKam? If I were to retag them from digiKam, will they maintain their tags in the file itself? | 03:29 |
| fryguy | sb118: run 'ps aux | grep firefox' | 03:29 |
| arkaoss | genii : thats what I get for switching back & forth from CentOS to Ubuntu | 03:29 |
| scunizi | WebcamWonder, I don't know.. never used it | 03:29 |

| sb118 | fryguy: "mv: cannot stat `/home/sb118/.mozilla': No such file or directory" | 03:32 |
| fryguy | sb118: uh, maybe it's firefox, 'mv ~/.firefox ~/.firefox.BAK' | 03:32 |
| fryguy | jimdb: use xmodmap | 03:32 |
| jimdb | fryguy: what is that? | 03:32 |
| Swilky | hey Hi guys just wondering if someone would help me I have an access point setup to use a raduis server but the auth always fails this is the debug http://rafb.net/p/n9KaXp63.html | 03:32 |
| fryguy | jimdb: a utility for changing modifier keys | 03:33 |
| sb118 | fryguy: same thing | 03:33 |
| jimdb | it isn't listed in the ubuntu repositories | 03:33 |
| ubuntu1024 | I installed the kernel update this week and my 3945 wireless broke | 03:33 |
| fryguy | jimdb: it's already installed, it's a core component of x11 | 03:33 |
| arkaoss | Swilky are you in CT? | 03:33 |
| fryguy | ubuntu1024: so reinstall the driver for it | 03:33 |
| Swilky | CT? | 03:34 |
| ubuntu1024 | it worked out of the box for 8.04 | 03:34 |
| ubuntu1024 | it no longer works out of the box. | 03:34 |
| arkaoss | NM my bad.. Connecticutt US.. | 03:34 |
| fryguy | sb118: 'ls -la ~' find the directory that has firefox, and move it out of the way temporarily | 03:34 |
| arkaoss | i got a friend tring to setup Radius on his router. | 03:34 |
| fryguy | ubuntu1024: right, you upgraded your kernel so you need to upgrade the driver | 03:34 |
| ubuntu1024 | yes, so I upgraded to 8.10 to try and solve that | 03:34 |
| Swilky | im in perth australia | 03:34 |
| musikgoat | heh | 03:35 |
| ubuntu1024 | but the situation persists | 03:35 |
| lizsac | ok thanks | 03:35 |
| solarion | is there a reason that the fonts cache gets regenerated for every font instead of at the end of the install? | 03:35 |
| ubuntu1024 | I tried installing the backport packages but that didn't work | 03:35 |
| sb118 | fryguy: i found ".mozilla.bak" but i don't know what you mean move it out the way | 03:35 |
| arkaoss | I knew A guy in perth too, but never heard from him online. | 03:35 |
| blackflag_ | i got a newb question if anyone can answer plz-- do i need to install the ati drivers to get 1360x768 res? | 03:35 |
| fryguy | sb118: it's already been moved | 03:36 |
| fryguy | blackflag_: you need some driver for your video card yes. | 03:36 |
| Swilky | so can anyone see why its not working in the debug? http://rafb.net/p/n9KaXp63.html | 03:36 |
| sb118 | fryguy: oh okay | 03:36 |
| ubuntu1024 | also, installing ndiswrapper and using the windows intel drivers made it unbootable. that was bad | 03:36 |
| jimdb | fryguy: i have a super key on the keyboard and it used to work. this program looks like it is used to define the key sequences that relate to the super key. | 03:36 |
| fryguy | sb118: running firefox now? | 03:36 |
| genpfault | I have an eeepc 1000, the one with the 8GB SSD and 32GB flash; I want to have my /home on the 8GB and union a directory on the flash on top of it. Should I use unionfs or aufs? | 03:36 |
| fryguy | jimdb: right | 03:36 |
| blackflag_ | =/ i've been having trouble getting any sort of driver to work. | 03:36 |
| sb118 | fryguy: nope | 03:37 |
| fryguy | jimdb: if you run xmodmap, is super or hyper keys listed? | 03:37 |
| fryguy | sb118: "sudo firefox" | 03:37 |
| lifestream | Does anyone know of a dock (like awn) that I can put on the LEFT or RIGHT side of the screen? (not cairo *barfs guts*) | 03:37 |
| sb118 | fryguy: that worked thanks | 03:37 |
| fryguy | sb118: nonono | 03:37 |
| jimdb | fryguy: it says mod4 Super_L (0xce), Hyper_l (0xcf) | 03:37 |
| sb118 | fryguy: what? | 03:38 |
| fryguy | sb118: that's not teh way to do this. that working means that there is some setting file in your home directory that is causing firefox to break. pastebin the output of ls -la | 03:38 |
| uberneen | sb118: Try firefox -a -P | 03:38 |
| fryguy | jimdb: so x11 is correctly identifying and using the super key, simply assign keybindings to it | 03:38 |
| liye | donald: hey, sorry for delayed reply. so can i set it via Printing tool provided by the distro? | 03:39 |

| test34 | krish: you need php module for your webserver | 03:56 |
| ubuntu1024 | hey | 03:56 |
| musikgoat | lifestream: use 4.2.2.1 | 03:56 |
| lifestream | musikgoat, tried it, thanks anyway ;____; lol | 03:56 |
| ubuntu1024 | I fixed my wireless by typing modprobe iwl3945 | 03:56 |
| mneptok | lifestream: they should be set by DHCP | 03:56 |
| Bsims | Yeah thats what I was thinking but I hate to reinstall things though I should be able to just dump my /etc/ back in from backup | 03:56 |
| bazhang | ubuntu1024, good news | 03:56 |
| ubuntu1024 | now how do I make it so that will automagically happen on startup? | 03:56 |
| krish | test I have php installed on my server | 03:56 |
| fryguy | lifestream: dhcp will provide you with dns entries, if your isp does not use dhcp or pppoe then you were provided with DNS servers to use in documentation | 03:56 |
| lifestream | mneptok, yes i know but i dont want to use my ISP dns because they... suck!? and they got those "helpful" search pages. so i changed to opendns which has always worked for me | 03:56 |
| manunderground | test34, bazhang, fryguy: well comparing the atom processor to say Pentium M or Centrino 1.6 how would things settle? | 03:56 |
| matthew | what is that 1024 ? | 03:56 |
| genii | fryguy: After testing I agree it works as you say | 03:56 |
| mneptok | lifestream: do you use a router? | 03:57 |
| lifestream | musikgoat, yes id love to upgrade NM or even ditch it for WICD but i can't go online, so... | 03:57 |
| grncdr | I've got a funny situation. I removed a bunch of old kernel images manually, forgot I'd done that, and then tried to remove them and they're associated modules with apt | 03:57 |
| matthew | ubuntu1024, you can make a script | 03:57 |
| hosstest | Does anyone currently use Ventrillo over Wine? | 03:57 |
| ubuntu1024 | I want to make it so I don't have to type sudo modprobe iwl3945 to get my wireless working | 03:57 |
| test34 | manunderground: I'm not sure but I'm sure there is plenty of benchmarks on the web | 03:57 |
| Flannel | grncdr: linux-image-* | 03:57 |
| fryguy | genii: sudo doesn't run a login shell by default, so it will not change the current environment variables, so HOME for example is unchanged | 03:57 |
| ubuntu1024 | where can I throw that in? | 03:57 |
| Flannel | grncdr: is the package | 03:57 |
| mneptok | fryguy: PPPoE does not handle DNS or IP. it's solely for authentication. | 03:57 |
| lifestream | mneptok, yes i do use a router, but opendns settings always worked for me. however i used to work wicd. now im using NM and those settings are not working. | 03:57 |
| grncdr | Flannel: that matches all the image packages | 03:57 |
| Bsims | grncdr: and now there nothing for apt to remove but the entry in its DB is there correct? | 03:57 |
| matthias | anybody knows how to connect an btheadset | 03:57 |
| fryguy | mneptok: right, but implementations used by ISPs are almost always accompanied by a DNS providing mechanism | 03:58 |
| Flannel | grncdr: correct. You want to remove the older version numbers. | 03:58 |
| grncdr | Bsims: yes exactly | 03:58 |
| manunderground | thanks a lot everyone | 03:58 |
| mneptok | lifestream: hardcode the OpenDNS servers into the router. the router is doing your DHCP. | 03:58 |
| bazhang | matthias, /msg ubottu bluetooth | 03:58 |
| lifestream | mneptok, actually I.... don't think that NM is even remembering the settings?! I just went back and it shows the ISP DNS .... | 03:58 |
| fryguy | mneptok: which is why i made that small clarification for the small chance that he was using PPPoE and was attempting to regain original DNS IPs | 03:58 |
| mneptok | fryguy: that mechanism is DHCP | 03:58 |
| tethtibis_ | odd. | 03:58 |
| grncdr | Bsims: and beyond this, I currently have no kernel installed | 03:58 |
| matthias | bazhang: ? | 03:58 |
| test34 | krish: just download wordpress and unzip in your htdocs folder.. and follow instructions.. its very simple | 03:58 |
| grncdr | Bsims: /msg? | 03:59 |
| Bsims | Sure grncdr | 03:59 |
| bazhang | !bluetooth > matthias | 03:59 |
| ubottu | matthias, please see my private message | 03:59 |
| Flannel | !info wordpress | krish, test34 | 03:59 |
| ubottu | krish, test34: wordpress (source: wordpress): weblog manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.1-8ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1009 kB, installed size 5028 kB | 03:59 |
| krish | ok test | 03:59 |
| lifestream | mneptok, It's not my router sadly. But why mess up my neighbors router (i pay 5 bucks per month ) if Wicd worked just fine... I just did a fresh install and figured "hey, NM should do just fine" so I went to change the DNS and now, bam, nothing x-D! | 03:59 |
| fryguy | mneptok: yes, but if we had just said DHCP, and he said "oh, i use PPPoE" we would have had to clarify it as an additional statement, I bunched it into a single sentence. you chose to expand it out to multiple lines of chat. I was just trying to be concise is still mostly correct, and correct especially in the context as given. | 03:59 |
| Flannel | krish: Easier to just get it from the package manager. You'll be sure to get updates that way. | 03:59 |
| krish | test34 | 03:59 |
| gkasinath | mneptok, what is the actual URL for openDNS? is it www.opendns.org? | 03:59 |
| Carefree | hello | 03:59 |
| Dulak | I wouldn't use the wordpress package, get the latest version and update it whenever there is an update | 03:59 |
| bazhang | krish, please dont test here | 03:59 |
| Bsims | grncdr: want me to save you some time?... open a terminal and cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ and sudo dpkg -i the kernel debs | 03:59 |
| krish | ok Flannel | 04:00 |
| mneptok | gkasinath: URL? or DNS server addresses> | 04:00 |
| mneptok | ? | 04:00 |
| lifestream | mneptok, the funny thing is , even though NM shows the ISP dns now, my firefox pages still wont load. No, it's not working offline :P | 04:00 |
| krish | Flannel can you pls elloborate on what u said | 04:00 |
| Carefree | Is there anything I can do to make wine work better? | 04:00 |

| Flannel | krish: install the "wordpress" package, then you'll have wordpress, and it'll get upgrades. | 04:00 |
| Sinani201 | Hi people | 04:00 |
| krish | ok | 04:00 |
| sb118 | fryguy: any ideas? | 04:00 |
| Dulak | the package upgrades are crazy slow compared to the regular wordpress | 04:00 |
| mneptok | lifestream: pick one. use DHCP, or use static. this mix and match is not going to be pleasant. | 04:00 |
| fryguy | sb118: 'mv ~/.mozilla.bak ~/.mozilla.bak.bak' | 04:01 |
| gkasinath | mneptok - uumm the dns server address(es) if it makes any sense | 04:01 |
| lifestream | mneptok, i've used opendns for months now... with no problem whatsoever... *doubletake* | 04:01 |
| Sinani201 | Does anyone know why Frets on Fire lags so much? | 04:02 |
| bazhang | Sinani201, are you using compiz | 04:02 |
| fryguy | Sinani201: 3d card configured incorrectly | 04:02 |
| gkasinath | drog, I havent done what was written in : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto, is that what you advised to do? | 04:02 |
| Sinani201 | Well, how do I configure it correctly? | 04:02 |
| Carefree | any ideas on how to make wine work better? | 04:03 |
| l3d | is there a nvidia settings app to change the settings of the card in linux? | 04:03 |
| Sinani201 | I don't know | 04:03 |
| Sinani201 | Lemme check | 04:03 |
| fryguy | Sinani201: identify the correct driver for your card, install any kernel level drivers necessary for it, ensure it's being used in your xorg configuration (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) | 04:03 |
| scunizi | l3d, yes.. install nvidia-settings and also read the nvidia linux forum on the nvidia site | 04:03 |
| fryguy | Carefree: what's wrong with how it works now | 04:03 |
| Carefree | fryguy: It just doesnt start some applications | 04:04 |
| l3d | ok thanks | 04:04 |
| xcerca | has anybody installed ubuntu on a psp , any luck ? sorry i asked this same question an hour ago when i was setting up my wireless gateway to connect my psp and screwed it up , but everything works now.... i've seen fedora installed on a ps3 but anybody know about ubuntu on a psp ? | 04:04 |
| Carefree | actually, it doesnt start almost anything. | 04:04 |

| fryguy | Carefree: there's a database of applications how well the work over at winehq, there are also some provided workarounds for some situations, I suggest checking that out. Also, join #winehq and ask some wine specific questions there. | 04:04 |
| Sinani201 | OK, I'm installing nvidia-settings | 04:04 |
| mneptok | lifestream: so then what changed? | 04:05 |
| sb118 | fryguy: "mv: cannot stat `/home/sb118/.mozilla.bak': No such file or directory" | 04:05 |
| xcerca | Carefree what seems to be the problem , sorry i just joined... | 04:05 |
| gkasinath | drog - thanks for that mate. I'll give them a shot and see how it goes. | 04:05 |
| Sinani201 | So, what do I do in the nvidia settings? | 04:05 |
| Carefree | oh, just it won't open installers and stuff | 04:05 |

| Sinani201 | iTunes isn't authorized on Linux | 04:06 |
| lifestream | mneptok, I don't know? I haven't used NM much. I always install wicd instead. But I did a fresh install and since it was connecting to my wireless fine, I figured I would stick with it | 04:06 |
| fryguy | Carefree: itunes is in the appdb, go take a look at it | 04:06 |
| xcerca | i tunes... why not use amarok or rythm box, they can update an ipod also... | 04:06 |
| bazhang | Carefree, iTunes via wine works but is very very slow | 04:06 |
| * mneptok blinks | 04:07 | |
| Sinani201 | Ummm... | 04:07 |
| Sinani201 | so | 04:07 |
| mneptok | why iTunes? | 04:07 |
| bazhang | indeed | 04:07 |
| oOarthurOo | how else would you access the itunes store | 04:07 |
| lifestream | iTunes is always very slow, even on Win/Mac :P | 04:07 |
| Sinani201 | How do I fix my nvidia card so that it works with FoF? | 04:07 |
| mneptok | oOarthurOo: why would you *want* to? | 04:07 |
| Exsequor | Hi everyone I have just used cat to dump /dev/sda1 to a file. Can anyone explain how to extract the contents from that file? | 04:07 |
| stargazer | hey guys, i need a terminal to start up when i run a launcher so that it can run wine right after, any ideas ? | 04:07 |
| derrek_ | connect #dellmini | 04:07 |
| xcerca | Carefree , I've had success with wine also... but what do you want itunes for ? | 04:07 |
| bazhang | lifestream, this is glacially slow compared | 04:07 |
| jason__ | can anyone here answer a quick python question for me ? | 04:07 |
| Sinani201 | Python is evil | 04:07 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: what do you want to extract it to? | 04:07 |
| oOarthurOo | mneptok: There is a show my dad likes called take home chef, but they only make the video podcasts of recipes available via the itunes store. | 04:08 |
| Sinani201 | Python wants to mind-control you | 04:08 |
| lifestream | jason__, how about #ubuntu-programming? (i think thats the correct channel anwyay) | 04:08 |
| bazhang | Sinani201, please thats not helpful | 04:08 |
| jason__ | ok ill go right there thank you | 04:08 |
| mneptok | oOarthurOo: why would you patronize a store that tells you what OSes you can and cannot run, and what music player you must run? | 04:08 |
| Sinani201 | Ummm... | 04:08 |
| Sinani201 | So | 04:08 |
| Sinani201 | How do I configure my nvidia graphics card so it works with FoF? | 04:08 |
| fryguy | mneptok: is the philosophy of itunes on topic? | 04:08 |
| stargazer | hey guys, i need a terminal to start up when i run a launcher so that it can run wine right after, any ideas ? | 04:08 |
| Sinani201 | Someone please help me. | 04:08 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, a folder on a partition | 04:08 |
| oOarthurOo | mneptok: I've written a letter to the discovery channel, but I'm no idealist or purist so until they change their ways my dad wants to watch the podcasts and so I installed itunes via wine. | 04:09 |
| xcerca | Sinani201 does it not work now ? | 04:09 |
| bazhang | Sinani201, install nvidia-settings, also disable compiz | 04:09 |
| mneptok | fryguy: take a giant step back out of my face, please | 04:09 |
| fryguy | mneptok: ? i'm just asking a question | 04:09 |
| lifestream | x-D | 04:09 |
| Sinani201 | There is no compiz to disable | 04:09 |
| xcerca | bazhang , why do you need to disable compiz for that ? | 04:09 |
| musikgoat | oOarthurOo: podcasts can be listened to without itunes :-) | 04:09 |
| bazhang | oOarthurOo, you can get the podcasts without itunes | 04:09 |
| musikgoat | heh | 04:10 |
| musikgoat | netcasts if you will | 04:10 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: what you grabbed is an entire block device. There is no easy way to extract individual files from it. Especially if the device is larger than the amount of ram you have on your machine | 04:10 |
| Sinani201 | Someone help me, and I'll stop annoying all of you | 04:10 |
| bazhang | Sinani201, did you install and run nvidia-settings | 04:10 |
| Sinani201 | Yes | 04:10 |
| Sinani201 | I have it opened right now | 04:10 |
| mneptok | Sinani201: you'll stop annoying us with or without help. holding our patience for ransom is a decidely flawed strategy. | 04:11 |
| oOarthurOo | musikgoat: bazhang I accept your challenge. If you can show me how to get these podcasts without installing itunes I will go upstairs and remove it from my parents computer immediately http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/takehomechef/podcasts.html | 04:11 |
| bazhang | Sinani201, what card and what driver and how installed | 04:11 |
| xcerca | make sure you do sudo nvidia-settings , so that you can save the changes | 04:11 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: excuse me, a partition of a block device, but the other part of the statement is still true | 04:11 |
| * Bsims greatly prefers amarok to itunes | 04:11 | |
| Bsims | stargazer: should be in the save sessions | 04:11 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, the file is just over 24mb | 04:11 |
| Bsims | stargazer: Hrm add a ; xterm after the command in launcher? | 04:11 |
| Sinani201 | Umm | 04:11 |
| Bsims | what is FoF? | 04:11 |
| Sinani201 | Lemme check my graphics card | 04:11 |
| FloodBot1 | Bsims: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:11 |
| Sinani201 | FoF is Frets on Fire | 04:11 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: /dev/sda1 ? | 04:11 |
| Sinani201 | It's like Guitar Hero | 04:11 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, yes sda1 is only 24mb | 04:12 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, can you help me? I've upgrade, but the problem is still there. | 04:12 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: i'm unsure what's going on or what exactly you are trying to do then. I am unable to help you | 04:12 |
| Sinani201 | Anywho, I'll go look at my graphic card settings | 04:12 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, on your eeepc? | 04:12 |
| Sinani201 | Hold on | 04:12 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, I am trying to grab the contents of a mystery partition on my dell mini | 04:12 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, Yes | 04:12 |
| musikgoat | oOarthurOo: awe, they only publish through itunes, thats dumb, its soo easy to publish podcasts through rss | 04:12 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: you should use mount | 04:12 |
| Bsims | Oh dumb question Sinani201 are you running the non-free nvidia drivers? | 04:12 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, what is the problem are you are having; please be clear, all on one line thanks | 04:12 |
| oOarthurOo | musikgoat: Yup. It is beyond stupid. And I've written them to make that sentiment known. | 04:12 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, I did mount it and the contents have weird mime types or something | 04:12 |
| xcerca | Sinani201 run the command in a terminal " sudo nvidia-settings" make whatever changes you need, then apply. then try running your game again | 04:13 |
| irpapabear | hey ya fryguy | 04:13 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, there are also a lot of repeat file names | 04:13 |
| stargazer | Bsims: xterm isn't popping up. | 04:13 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: well there you go. catting it isn't going to give better results than mounting | 04:13 |
| musikgoat | oOarthurOo: if only apple would allow free podcasts to be downloeaded with out itunes... | 04:13 |
| l3d | ok here is a question for you I have two lcd's and both set to a res of 1028x768 @75htz now one is a 19inch wide and the other is a 17 inch normal one I was wondering why when I go to play a game say just for argument sake extreme tux racer the 17 inch plays with no issue but the 19 always give me input out of range. I am wondering why when is the same resolution? | 04:13 |
| Bsims | stargazer: Heh, was a guess, it works when launched from bash in a command-line | 04:13 |
| * oOarthurOo concurs with musikgoat | 04:13 | |
| fryguy | l3d: set your LCDs to 60hz and see if that solves the problem | 04:14 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, Catting got everything off the partition whereas copying from the mounted partition renames all the duplicate filenames | 04:14 |
| Sinani201 | It says I'm not using the X driver | 04:14 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang,when I login desktop by a normal account, the whole desktop and toolbar will be not responding. but if I login by 'root', that's all ok. | 04:14 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: catting gets it as a byte stream, without any usable filesystem information | 04:14 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, you are using the ubuntu kernel or a 3rd party one | 04:14 |
| Exsequor | fryguy, I want that partition in its entirety | 04:15 |
| Hilikus | is there a way to reinstall my sound software? drivers etc? | 04:15 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, ubuntu eee kernel. | 04:15 |
| Bsims | Exsequor: may I suggest dd instead? | 04:15 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: so then cat it, or use dd | 04:15 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, the array org one? | 04:15 |
| co_eMo | jjjj | 04:15 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, that's in the apt source. | 04:15 |
| Exsequor | Great idea! | 04:15 |
| gkasinath | FusionHDTV Hybrid and MythTV tuning problem | 04:15 |
| fryguy | Exsequor: if you want to actually DO something with the partition, you need to mount it | 04:15 |

| fryguy | hosstest: join #winehq for application specific wine issues | 04:17 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, your apt sources use the array org kernel repo | 04:17 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, who told you to enable the root account | 04:17 |
| hosstest | fryguy: I am in there and they are comotose. | 04:18 |
| mcquaid | My gf got a samsung yp-s3 media player, it's only mtp. i hadn't upgraded yet but then upgraded to 8.10 as I read the latest libmtp supports this player | 04:18 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, I'm take a try by myself. because all my account cann't work. | 04:18 |
| fryguy | hosstest: that's unfortunate. check out www.winehq.org then | 04:18 |
| mcquaid | but it's still not detected | 04:18 |
| mcquaid | the libmtp site it pretty lacking in info: http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/compatibility.php | 04:19 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, you are using the array org kernel (not ubuntu); enabling the root account what changes have you made? if you can remember that is | 04:19 |
| Bsims | lifestream: tell Network Manager to go check its filesystem... set the info you need in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:19 |

| brick1 | I want to use nonfree because gnome's isn't working | 04:21 |
| bazhang | brick1, which one are you using | 04:21 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, via external cd-rom | 04:21 |
| bazhang | brick1, the nonfree is in synaptic | 04:21 |
| brick1 | bazhang: FF3 | 04:22 |
| Bsims | lifestream: sorry was a bit of a joke, the command to check a filesystem is fsck which sounds a lot like a dirty word... is this wireless or wired? | 04:22 |
| bazhang | brick1, hardy or ibex | 04:22 |
| Anacranom | fryguy, hosstest , all ppl, plz stop sending ppl there, like asking questions in a graveyard,,, thats why i'm educating myself on wine, so i can help others,,, that place is dead 75% of the time | 04:22 |
| brick1 | bazhang: I installed it. The problem started when I upgraded to Ibex | 04:22 |
| bazhang | Anacranom, wine app specific questions are rightly redirected there. | 04:23 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, It's working well for many months. I'm using normal accoun until that account cann't work | 04:23 |
| bazhang | Anacranom, people just need to be patient | 04:23 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, when did it stop working | 04:23 |
| Anacranom | bazhang, but there's no one there... | 04:23 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, about five days ago | 04:23 |
| bazhang | Anacranom, thus the need for patience | 04:24 |
| Bsims | bazhang: true enough but still no need to be a jerk about it, thats why I moved from Debian to Ubuntu, that and at the time Debian Sid was uninstallable and stable was too stale | 04:24 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, what happened to make it stop working | 04:24 |
| bazhang | Bsims, referring to debian? not sure what you are talking about | 04:24 |
| Bsims | ohmygod_: what's not working? | 04:24 |
| joebodo | is session saving broken in 8.10 - my session is never saved even though i have that option enabled | 04:24 |
| Bsims | bazhang: yeah refering to debian and the RTFM only answer... | 04:25 |
| Bsims | joebodo: I beleve so, I think its a known bug | 04:25 |
| brick1 | read 2 f'ing manuals! | 04:25 |
| joebodo | bsims k - thx | 04:25 |
| poboy975linux | hello, is anyone familier with installing ubuntu via pxeboot? | 04:25 |
| matthias | btheadset help do not know how to connect headset ... | 04:25 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, I don't know about it, I just remove abiword and gnumeric by apt, and install another office suit, eio | 04:25 |
| brick1 | pxeboot sounds nifty | 04:25 |
| Bsims | brick1: whats not working for ya? I don't feel like looking up through the scroll <g> | 04:26 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, how did you install that suite | 04:26 |
| ohmygod_ | Bsims,when I login desktop by a normal account, the whole desktop and toolbar will be not responding. but if I login by 'root', that's all ok. | 04:26 |
| lwizardl | hi | 04:26 |
| brick1 | lwizardl: yo | 04:26 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, by deb file | 04:26 |
| Bsims | ohmygod_: Ah I know what it could be... | 04:26 |
| Bsims | try chowning your home directory back to your user name | 04:26 |
| poboy975linux | i'm currently installing onto a laptop via pxeboot, its worked great until select and install software, no matter which package i pick, eg.. kubuntu, edubuntu, ubuntu, mythubuntu etc. they all seem to stop and hang at 6% | 04:27 |
| Anacranom | heh, bazhang , no, if ppl need help with an issue, and that issue is wine, then tell them up front,, go to #winehq but tell them that there is no one there and to be willing to wait days | 04:27 |
| brujo | dam | 04:27 |
| brujo | anyone know hot to send commands to tty? | 04:27 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, I have installed that deb file in my x61 first. It's fine | 04:27 |
| brujo | for example i want to do "ls" command to /dev/tty1 from C program | 04:27 |
| fryguy | brujo: manipulating the tty device in /dev/ works on some platforms, unsure if it works in ubuntu | 04:28 |
| Bsims | ohmygod_: chown -r user:group /home/user as root as you enabled it or use sudo | 04:28 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, so I installed in eee pc | 04:28 |
| brujo | i can open /dev/tty | 04:28 |
| brujo | but if i send commands console just print | 04:28 |
| brujo | but don't execute | 04:28 |
| Bsims | brujo: what exactly are you trying to do? | 04:28 |
| lwizardl | can someone help me with seting up a network. even links work be good. I'm wanting to have 4 machines in the network, 1 main server (holds all data), 2 machines thatkeep updating the information as needed to the main server, and then 1 machine the view it all | 04:28 |
| brujo | i want to open a program on /dev/tty1 | 04:29 |
| fryguy | brujo: tty is a display interface, it doesn't run commands. there is a getty displayed on the screen that accepts logins | 04:29 |
| brujo | and on /dev/tty2 open program written in c and manipulate program | 04:29 |
| Bsims | lwizardl: google for samba and rsync | 04:29 |
| fryguy | brujo: run what you want and redirect it's output to the tty you want it to appear in using the redirection operator | 04:29 |
| Bsims | brujo: something wrong with opening a plain xterm and doing it there | 04:29 |
| fryguy | lwizardl: unison might also be appropriate for you as well | 04:30 |
| Bsims | lwizardl: I'd be happy to talk to you in detail in pm on what you are trying to do | 04:30 |
| putra_k | satu | 04:30 |
| putra_k | a | 04:31 |
| Bsims | lwizardl: you may be able to get by with plain ssh connections to the server depending on what you are wanting to do with it | 04:31 |
| brujo | how to redirect? | 04:31 |
| fryguy | lwizardl: exporting NFS mounts so that everything is always in sync might be appropriate as well | 04:31 |
| brujo | can you explain me that? | 04:31 |
| fryguy | brujo: ls > /dev/tty1 | 04:31 |
| fryguy | brujo: for example | 04:31 |
| Bsims | brujo: man bash in a terminal it will explain all of that | 04:32 |
| poboy975linux | hello anyone familier with ubuntu install via pxeboot? is there a way to skip the package install, and do it later? | 04:32 |

| fryguy | daveUMR: ? can you be more specific as to "they arent taking" means? | 04:38 |

| bullgard4 | fryguy: I googled that there are 'Brooktree TV' cards. Is 'Brooktree TV' a manufacturer? Did it set some software standards? | 04:39 |
| daveUMR | fryguy: well, for example i just added a url mapping in my urls.py file... and when i refresh the page.. it gives me the page not found error, and list the urls its looking at.. and the url mappings havent changed | 04:39 |
| fryguy | bullgard4: original, yes | 04:40 |
| Dulak | bullgard4: it was a chipset used in a lot of tv tuner cards | 04:40 |
| n8tuser | bullgard4-> yes brooktree is one of those pioneering chip makers | 04:40 |
| fryguy | daveUMR: urls.py is a part of what | 04:40 |
| daveUMR | a specific application, not the main | 04:40 |

| veryangryman | guys, i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and suddenly my internet connections are capped to around 30kb/s for each connection | 04:43 |
| n8tuser | veryangryman-> what tools are you using to measure that data rate? | 04:44 |
| veryangryman | just a normal download | 04:44 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, ! I remembered. at first, I found there is a .gvfs file in my user's home directory, it's user and group is all ?. I cann't del it. so I reinstalled gvfs and nautilus. | 04:44 |
| veryangryman | n8tuser: and... i rebooted the server with the 8.04 livecd... | 04:44 |
| n8tuser | veryangryman-> i dont think thats accurate, plus you are doing multiple downloads? | 04:45 |
| veryangryman | n8tuser: and the download came at full speed with this 8.04cd | 04:45 |
| usser | ohmygod_, that thing is supposed to be here... | 04:45 |
| fryguy | veryangryman: www.speedtest.net | 04:45 |
| TarBar | Here it is | 04:45 |
| TarBar | http://paste.ubuntu.com/72215/ | 04:45 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, why did you want to delete it | 04:45 |
| veryangryman | and now i test again | 04:45 |
| veryangryman | and it seems to be fine, wtf! | 04:45 |
| veryangryman | forget what i said.. | 04:46 |
| bazaab | I went to speedtest.net and it said my avg download speed was 29MB/s | 04:46 |
| mneptok | veryangryman: we already did ;) | 04:46 |
| bazaab | Not bad for 6MB cable :P | 04:46 |
| n8tuser | TarBar-> and you can easily resolve websites url or takes a long time? | 04:46 |
| ohmygod_ | bazhang, I want to mv all files to another account's home directory,then found it | 04:46 |
| outbackwifi | maybe you should change your nick to something more appropriate :P | 04:46 |
| * outbackwifi veryImpatientMan | 04:46 | |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, that is not the way to do it | 04:46 |
| bazhang | !home | ohmygod_ | 04:46 |
| ubottu | ohmygod_: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 04:46 |
| bazhang | ohmygod_, read that link | 04:47 |
| fryguy | veryangryman: tcp/ip is packet based, there are no bandwidth guarantees for any given connection (unless you are connecting between virtual circuit type connections like a T1, blah blah blah) | 04:47 |
| veryangryman | ok | 04:47 |
| TarBar | n8tuser I can load up say 3 site fine then on the fourth it seems like it stops but then takes about 40 seconds and then loads the site | 04:47 |
| fryguy | TarBar: do you have flash installed? | 04:48 |
| n8tuser | TarBar-> that is expected, if the site has lots of redirects and download massive amount of graphics | 04:48 |
| grendal_prime | ok i finally got it to install. but there is some sort of problem whith the graphical greeter. it just shows up black. If i uninstall gdm then i can fire up the desktop with startx. but..if i try and do anything requireing a sudo it tells me it is unable to copy the Xauthorization file ?? | 04:48 |
| bazhang | TarBar, what site | 04:48 |
| TarBar | Let me try hold on | 04:48 |
| TarBar | now google isnt loading | 04:48 |
| grendal_prime | its making me nuts.. | 04:48 |
| fryguy | TarBar: do you have flash installed? | 04:49 |
| n8tuser | TarBar-> any kind of error? | 04:49 |
| TarBar | Yes i have installed flash | 04:49 |
| grendal_prime | but at least i can see a desktop on the fkn machine finally | 04:49 |
| bazhang | TarBar, install flashblock | 04:49 |
| fryguy | TarBar: uninstall flash, restart firefox and see if the behavior persists | 04:49 |
| TarBar | ok | 04:49 |
| Dominik1 | feisty had etc/inittab file where can I find this in 8.10? | 04:49 |
| fryguy | TarBar: i suspect you are visiting sites that have flash components in them (advertisements, whatever), and when you exit the site, the flash library isn't getting deinitialized correctly, which causes firefox to lock up for a time) | 04:50 |
| grendal_prime | Im totally down with not using the graphical greeter...not a big fan?? | 04:50 |
| n8tuser | Dominik1-> upstart replaced it, it simulates sysv init system | 04:50 |
| fryguy | TarBar: it happens in some configurations. Not much that can be done about it, since flash is proprietary. | 04:50 |
| grendal_prime | but it seems to cause more problems because of the user agent switcher i think | 04:50 |
| TarBar | ah | 04:50 |
| fryguy | Dominik1: upstart might have moved it (upstart is a replacement for the older sysv style init). take a look at the upstart documentation (upstart.ubuntu.com i think), and see if that gives any enlightenment | 04:51 |
| TarBar | hmm i cant find where it is installed | 04:51 |
| Dominik1 | n8tuser: im trying to disable virtual terminals, how do I do this in 8.10 | 04:51 |
| Peddy | How do I find out if my graphics card has direct rendering enabled? | 04:51 |
| fryguy | Peddy: glxinfo | grep -i direct | 04:51 |
| Peddy | thanks fryguy | 04:52 |
| TarBar | wow disabling flash did make a difference.. | 04:52 |

| actionfigure | anyone? | 04:54 |
| deuceswild | It just suddenly turns off. | 04:54 |
| deuceswild | Like you pulled out the battery or whatever. | 04:54 |
| deuceswild | And it has never happened using XP | 04:54 |
| fryguy | deuceswild: likely an issue with the acpi implementation of your motherboard | 04:54 |
| martin_ | can anyone offer my any advice as to where to put eclipse downloaded from there website, what the best directory to place it, btw I'm using xubuntu! | 04:54 |
| actionfigure | 8.10 doesnt seem to come with xgl ....where do i get the deb? | 04:55 |
| deuceswild | is there a switch i can try? | 04:55 |
| n8tuser | Dominik1-> visit /etc/event.d/ and remove the tty you dislike | 04:55 |
| fryguy | martin_: /opt is a suitable location for external binary packages | 04:55 |
| martin_ | okay, thanks fryguy | 04:55 |
| bof | hai everyone | 04:55 |
| bullgard4 | deuceswild: Please analyze you /var/log /syslog | 04:55 |
| bullgard4 | deuceswild: Please analyze your /var/log /syslog | 04:55 |
| martin_ | i was thinking about /usr/local/bin - is that sensible? | 04:56 |
| warriorforgod | deuceswild: I would try booting grub with the noapic and acpi=off parameters. | 04:56 |
| deuceswild | ok | 04:56 |
| xorlim | fryguy: how would the binary packages be "external"? | 04:56 |
| deuceswild | i will try it | 04:56 |
| grendal_prime | does it make any sence that not having the graphical greeter installed would cause a problem with running apps as root? | 04:56 |
| fryguy | martin_: it will work, but typically /usr/local is used for things tha are compiled locally and aren't part of your package manager. For things that you are obtaining that are pre-packaged and precompiled, the filesystem hierarchy standard dictates that those should go in /opt | 04:56 |
| deuceswild | And what should I do with syslog? | 04:56 |
| Bsims | martin_: /usr/local/bin is traditonal | 04:56 |
| bof | i love 8.10 | 04:57 |
| grendal_prime | bof: it wont run on my stuff | 04:57 |
| grendal_prime | not the insp 1100 anyway | 04:57 |
| n8tuser | bof you dont own a broadcom 43xx chip wifi dont you? hehe | 04:57 |
| martin_ | okay, thanks guys, i'm going with /opt | 04:57 |
| Bsims | martin_: opt would work as well | 04:57 |

| fryguy | actionfigure: compiz is installed and configured by default in recent versions of ubuntu | 05:01 |
| dippo | I just upgraded and it switched it to metacity.. I can't remember the proper way to set it back | 05:01 |
| actionfigure | fryguy, so why am i getting that error? | 05:01 |
| fryguy | dippo: install sawfish, run sawfish --replace, and then make sure that it's changes take effect in your gnome-session (run the session manager) | 05:01 |
| actionfigure | Bsims, how do i check if its installed? | 05:02 |
| fryguy | actionfigure: you probably uninstalled/changed something related to compiz. Or you have a very strange driver configuration | 05:02 |
| Bsims | actionfigure: in a terminal type "sudo dpkg -l|grep compiz" | 05:02 |

| poboy975linux | question, once I start a pxeboot install, can i restart the pxeserver computer without messing up the install? does it pull all the apps off the internet? or is it getting info from server? | 05:04 |
| Bsims | actionfigure: dunno thats wierd | 05:04 |
| fryguy | Pranka: this is support for ubuntu, not mint. ask in mint support channels about issues with their repositories | 05:04 |
| dippo | there's a "window manager" entry in the startup apps which runs /usr/bin/gnome-wm, which led me to think that isn't really the best place to change it | 05:04 |
| martin_ | mixed- , I'm got a vanilla xubuntu installed, no nautilus! | 05:04 |
| Bsims | actionfigure: try deleteing .compiz out of your home directory... and do sudo apt-get install --reinstall compiz | 05:04 |
| fryguy | dippo: add it manually. also look at setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable, or change to using a .xsession file that loads gnome-session how you want | 05:04 |
| Pranka | fryguy: I apologize, but I can't find the mint chans. | 05:04 |
| Pranka | >_>; | 05:04 |
| Pranka | Thanks anyways. | 05:05 |
| actionfigure | Bsims, ok thanks | 05:05 |
| dippo | okay.. surprised there's not a simpler way to do that in this day and age | 05:05 |
| fryguy | Pranka: there is a community link right on the linux mint home page that highlights several mechanisms for contacting people for support, including irc | 05:05 |
| Buntai | what is the best download manager in firefox using ubuntu? | 05:05 |
| dippo | i saw someone mention using gconf-editor to change the window-manager key, but it wouldn't preserve my changes | 05:05 |
| Bsims | actionfigure: never ran into that before, but deleting .compiz basicaly starts you over and thats what the reinstall should do.. if that doesn't work do sudo apt-get remove --purge compiz and then reinstall compiz with sudo apt-get install compiz | 05:06 |
| Pranka | fryguy: Thank you very much. :) | 05:06 |
| actionfigure | Bsims, theres no .compiz in my home dir | 05:06 |

| fryguy | Buntai: what is wrong with the default mechanism for downloading files | 05:07 |
| actionfigure | Bsims, i tried running it but my computer freezes | 05:07 |
| Bsims | actionfigure: I'm assuming you are running gnome? try turning on advanced desktop effects | 05:07 |
| Buntai | fryguy: its slow | 05:07 |
| fryguy | assem: you are out of luck | 05:07 |
| actionfigure | Bsims, i can try to run it right now | 05:07 |

| Buntai | i want it fast like Internet download manger | 05:08 |
| Bsims | bullgard4: google for AR5212 | 05:08 |
| fryguy | assem: depending on the flash you need, you can try other flash solutions like swfdec or gnash | 05:08 |
| assem | fryguy, is this a known issue? | 05:08 |
| Bsims | bullgard4: its an atheros AR5212 card if that narrows things down | 05:08 |

| actionfigure | fryguy, ok? | 05:09 |
| fryguy | actionfigure: the problem isn't that you are missing xgl, it's that you have a weird video card with a weird driver setup, like i mentioned about 10 minutes ago | 05:09 |
| Frogzoo | ferfactor: tune2fs | 05:09 |
| Bsims | ferfactor: Um to what? | 05:09 |
| assem | fryguy, interesting... do you happen to know some keywords to describe this issue? i'd like to google and read some more about it. | 05:09 |
| fryguy | actionfigure: i'm guessing you have an ATI radeon card that is a few years old? | 05:09 |
| actionfigure | fryguy, so theres not way around it? | 05:09 |
| ferfactor | rename | 05:09 |
| ferfactor | Bsims, rename | 05:09 |
| actionfigure | fryguy, i have an intergrated card | 05:09 |
| bullgard4 | bascule: Googling is no sure method. I presume that there is a more reliable method in Ubuntu. | 05:09 |
| Bsims | tune2fs will do it | 05:10 |
| actionfigure | Bsims, it doesnt say what kind it is | 05:10 |
| Zuwer | Hi | 05:10 |
| bullgard4 | Bsims: Googling is no sure method. I presume that there is a more reliable method in Ubuntu. | 05:10 |
| fryguy | actionfigure: there is something with either your card or the drivers available for your card that don't allow it to run correctly with compiz. Visit the compiz homepage, there is an environment variable that you can set to bypass it, but it's not recommended and will likely cause extreme system instability | 05:10 |
| Bsims | actionfigure: lspci -v and msg me the results | 05:10 |

| someguy_001 | hello guys, i'm thinking of installing Ubuntu on an external hard drive on my computer and I have a few questions. | 05:15 |
| abarbaccia | if i build a virtual machine and want to connect to it via ssh from the host machine, do i need to setup a network bridge? | 05:15 |
| bazhang | Zuwer, then go into sound preferences and try the different choices (ie not autodetect), preferably alsa | 05:16 |
| someguy_001 | how will I dual boot if I do that? | 05:16 |
| Zuwer | ok | 05:16 |
| fryguy | abarbaccia: no | 05:16 |
| thiebaude | zumer:open up volumn control and see if your sound card is listed | 05:16 |
| Bsims | raldi: take a look in /proc/net? | 05:16 |
| fryguy | someguy_001: install a bootloader somewhere and use it. if your motherboard supports booting from external drives that's likely the best option | 05:17 |
| actionfigure_ | Bsims, you can see the second device is the vga | 05:17 |
| gkasinath | someguy_001, I dual boot with Ubuntu on a USB hard drive and Windoze on the internal HD. | 05:17 |
| Zuwer | Can't hear anything :/ | 05:17 |
| Sinani201 | I dual boot, as well | 05:17 |
| abarbaccia | fryguy: how do i connect to it then? | 05:17 |
| Bsims | actionfigure_: its an Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controlle which should be enough grunt for compiz but I'm not sure | 05:17 |
| fryguy | abarbaccia: connect to the IP that was assigned to the virtual machine | 05:17 |
| actionfigure_ | Bsims, ok ..thanks for your help... | 05:17 |

| someguy_001 | okay, cause I gots a really old comp with ubuntu, and i'm thinking of getting a new one with both windows and ubuntu. | 05:18 |
| abarbaccia | ... it picked up a 10. address while my machines are all 192.168.1. addresses | 05:18 |
| fryguy | Bsims: it's not an issue with grunt, it's an issue with compatibility. a couple of cards have some quirks with them that cause them to not run compiz correctly | 05:18 |
| actionfigure_ | Bsims, the 71? | 05:18 |
| Sinani201 | Umm | 05:18 |
| Sinani201 | Can someone please help me>? | 05:18 |

| rpfaff | any thoughts on gOS? | 05:19 |
| Sinani201 | Fryguy, was that supposed to fix it? | 05:19 |
| Sinani201 | In the Terminal? | 05:19 |
| fryguy | Sinani201: no, it's supposed to return you one line of text that might give a clue as to what the problem is | 05:19 |
| actionfigure_ | Bsims, thanks again | 05:19 |
| actionfigure_ | fryguy, thanks again | 05:19 |
| Sinani201 | oh | 05:20 |
| actionfigure_ | ill have to get a new graphic card | 05:20 |
| Bsims | actionfigure_: yeah a google says it no workie | 05:20 |

| fryguy | grendal_prime: there is a gnome keyring manager right in the menu, installed by default, isn't there? | 05:21 |
| Peddy | Sinani201: I just joined, but are you having a direct rendering problem? I had one, and I fixed it. It came after some recent updates, correct? | 05:21 |
| fryguy | Peddy: cd to teh directory, find . -type f -exec rm {} \; | 05:21 |
| actionfigure_ | Bsims, thanks..ill get a new one soon :) thanks again..always wondered by my computer graphics ran slow | 05:21 |
| Bsims | I bought mine just after the current amd boards went live... three or four years ago <g> | 05:21 |
| abarbaccia | fryguy .. it picked up a 10. address while my machines are all 192.168.1. addresses | 05:22 |
| Sinani201 | Peddy: I don't think I have a rendering problem; it's just that the game is lagging like crazy | 05:22 |
| Peddy | Sinani201: Does Direct Rendering say 'no'? | 05:22 |
| fryguy | abarbaccia: right, that's to be expected, so you should be able to ssh to the 10. address | 05:22 |
| grendal_prime | fryguy: well this was orgianlly a gnome install that was converted to a kde desktop now its going back... | 05:22 |
| thiebaude | i have an intel 815 so i cant run compiz,:-( | 05:22 |
| Sinani201 | Peddy: It says no. | 05:22 |
| fryguy | Sinani201: you need to install the proper driver for your video card | 05:22 |
| grendal_prime | wich is why i asked the question in the first place...but...well you didnt know the circumstance | 05:22 |
| Bsims | think I'll actually go dual core this time, intel and nvidia I just hate spending as much on a video card as processor cpu and ram | 05:22 |

| iain | ditch64: Have you tried the Alternate CD? | 05:37 |
| bazhang | iain, what version of ubuntu | 05:37 |
| dope | fryguy: i've flipped it to every possible combination and nothing | 05:38 |
| poboy975linux | its installing from the mini.iso, how do I md5 it? | 05:38 |
| Bsims | bazhang: I didn't bother to check kubuntu till I upgraded the fact that 8.10 will upgrade you to kde4 and ignore your previous .kde4 directory and mangle the existing kde3x one is kinda usefull info | 05:38 |
| iain | bazhang: 8.10. I just installed from Alternate CD (I have a separate /home partition which I kept) | 05:38 |
| ditch64 | iain: alternate cd? | 05:38 |
| davenull | ditch64: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865679 | 05:38 |
| bazhang | !alternate | 05:38 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:38 |
| fryguy | ian_brasil: likely something in your old home directory that isn't compatible with the new version of gnome | 05:38 |
| iain | ditch64: That's what I used because the LiveCD was failing on me. | 05:39 |
| poboy975linux | how about this....I have a good install cd...how can i tell pxeboot to use that for install instead of the mini.iso? | 05:39 |
| fryguy | iain: read above, i got the wrong nick | 05:39 |
| Bsims | poboy975linux: its in the upgrade instructions somewhere... let me google | 05:39 |
| ditch64 | the thing is, i have installed this multipule times on this machine, | 05:39 |
| fryguy | iain: try cleaning out some of the hidden directories that have gnome settings in your home directory | 05:39 |
| ditch64 | iain: this is just a different hard drive | 05:39 |
| iain | fryguy: I deleted all my prefs except for games and some stuff. I deleted .config and .gconf etc. | 05:39 |
| bbell | Does anybody know where to find the kernel boot parameters for bluetooth (specifically disabling it)? I've looked in kernel-parameters.txt, src/linux/Documentation, Google, and everything I can think of, but no mention of anything. | 05:39 |

| et3 | I'm having problems installing Diablo 2 with Wine | 05:40 |
| bazhang | poboy975linux, the minimal probably no need to md5 | 05:40 |
| Bsims | poboy975linux: take a look here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading though I am sure you did already | 05:40 |
| iain | fryguy: I'm sure I didn't. I really deleted almost everything because I didn't want any problems. | 05:40 |
| dope | console beep won't even work in pidgin | 05:40 |
| bazhang | et3, what specific problems and have you use wine before | 05:40 |
| davenull | et3: That question will best be posed to the wine guys. | 05:40 |
| Bsims | poboy975linux: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" | 05:40 |

| ditch64 | im not too sure if this makes any difference but the HD is out of a mac | 05:41 |
| Bsims | See ya all later... | 05:41 |

| et3 | davenull: which channel would you suggest then? | 05:41 |
| bazhang | et3, you have configured wine? | 05:41 |
| fryguy | et3: #winehq | 05:41 |
| davenull | et3: Let me check. | 05:41 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: Yes. One guy there gave a hint to another guy, and that worked for me too. | 05:42 |
| DCPom | when i go to gnome-look.org on my linuxbox, it redirects to a holder page, but when i find it on a mac it works fine. anyone know what would cause this? | 05:42 |
| IOU | one mo, i'll pastebin the entire output | 05:42 |
| et3 | bazhang: yes. It has the cd path in the drives section | 05:42 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, good news | 05:42 |
| et3 | fryguy: thanks. I'm joining that channel now | 05:42 |
| fryguy | DCPom: different DNS servers | 05:42 |

| poboy975linux | Bsims * sorry I'm installing to a laptop with no cd drive. its booting up into pxe server on this linux desktop. the pxe tutorial had me download a prepackaged file and it setup the mini.iso. is there a way to change it to use the install cd I have from the server through the pxeboot? | 05:43 |
| fryguy | DCPom: change your DNS servers so they match, /etc/resolv.conf is one way to change | 05:43 |
| gds_lumut | shasha | 05:43 |
| bazhang | IOU, what are you trying to do when you get that error | 05:43 |
| ditch64 | bazhang: i have installed ubuntu many times on this computer with no problems | 05:43 |
| IOU | anything. It first came up doing an apt-get upgrade yesterday | 05:43 |
| bazhang | gds_lumut, english please | 05:43 |
| bazhang | ditch64, that is an odd error that normally only occurs when upgrading between versions | 05:45 |
| ditch64 | bazhang: so should i try 8.10? | 05:45 |
| ReyRey | Im a runner and have been thinking are there any apps for Ubuntu to track running? or anything like that? | 05:45 |
| quentusrex | How do I configure ALSA to use my new USB headset rather than my onboard sound? | 05:45 |
| iain | What app is the network tray icon? The "Network Configuration" under Preferences is different (and seems less featureful and understanible than the one in 8.04) | 05:45 |
| ditch64 | bazhang: by the way this is a MAC HDD, i cleaned it off so were installing it from a PC and then going to throw it into the macbook pro? | 05:46 |
| bazhang | ditch64, unless you have capped downloads, I would try the livecd and see how ibex works for you | 05:46 |

| iain | fryguy: "command not found" on the LiveCD | 05:47 |
| bazhang | ditch64, there is a wiki for installing directly to a macbook pro | 05:47 |
| fryguy | iain: maybe it's nm-applet | 05:47 |
| ditch64 | bazhang: you see the thing is the Cd rom on the macbook is screwed so im installing it from a normal computer | 05:47 |
| iain | fryguy: Ah yes; sorry | 05:47 |
| ditch64 | bazhang: so its a normal install as of now | 05:47 |
| bazhang | ditch64, I see | 05:48 |
| davenull | ditch64: That might not be a great idea, generaly, you dont want to install on one computer, and then put it into another. | 05:48 |

| iain | I'm off to try launching nm-applet on my HDD installation; will report back if I can get online | 05:49 |
| IOU | ditch64, tried creating a USB install ? | 05:49 |

| ditch64 | IOU: i tried but i could never get the USB drive to boot | 05:49 |
| CYREX | have to do a dhclient at least twice a day | 05:49 |

| Mike9091 | I'm trying to increase the font size of the 'xmessage' command (ie xmessage -fn 14 "hello world" but am unsure of the syntax. Anyone know how? | 05:50 |
| poboy975linux | ok, whats the best way to make an iso of my install cd? or am i gonna have to redownload it? | 05:50 |
| CYREX | you think that would work, i mean the isp company gives me a dynamic ip | 05:50 |
| fryguy | poboy975linux: use cat or dd on the device for your cdrom, (/dev/cdrom i think) | 05:51 |
| IOU | poboy975linux, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=OS.iso | 05:51 |
| ReyRey | bazhang like when you go running, runners track their times and distance and ext..there are dime of dozen types of programs for this on windows and im hoping there is something similiar for linux. a diary/log to track your progress for excercising. | 05:51 |
| gaminggeek | Hello | 05:51 |
| IOU | wait, cat works for creating iso's ? | 05:51 |
| fryguy | IOU: yes | 05:51 |
| IOU | nice | 05:51 |
| poboy975linux | ok, thanks | 05:51 |
| bazhang | ReyRey, I'm sorry I am not sure there | 05:52 |
| CYREX | need backup | 05:52 |
| Mike9091 | ReyRey are you usinng a gps? | 05:52 |
| CYREX | i dont think that would be the answer | 05:52 |
| gaminggeek | I have plugged an external monitor into my laptop but ubuntu wants to have the external one as the main screen rather than the one in the laptop | 05:52 |
| fryguy | IOU: in some cases it works better than dd (we've been doing some DVD transcoding on a transcoder farm i built at work), and we ran into a handful of DVDs that dd failed with, and cat succeeded with | 05:52 |
| gaminggeek | I want it to be the other way around | 05:52 |
| IOU | fryguy, whats the syntax of the command your using? | 05:52 |
| ubd | hello yesterday i have installed a package called xubuntu-restricted, however i cnt find it now (just installed xubuntu) | 05:52 |

| IOU | awesome | 05:53 |
| ReyRey | mike9091 no im not using a gps..im currently putting my info manually in an excel sheet but hoping a program exist to compute data and such | 05:53 |
| bazhang | ubd, xubuntu-restricted-extras? | 05:53 |
| IOU | okay im gonna remove all the offending packages and see if dpkg comes right | 05:53 |
| Mike9091 | Oh., sorry, can't help. | 05:53 |

| === kc8tad is now known as rrittenhouse | ||

| howdy_ | Does anyone have suspend-to-RAM working in 8.10 on a MacBook Pro? | 05:54 |
| bazhang | ubd, you wont find 'it' anywhere, it is spread all around your system | 05:54 |
| ubd | bazhang may it be on the install cd | 05:54 |
| ubd | it was a virtual package | 05:54 |
| bazhang | ubd, no, thus the appellation restricted | 05:55 |
| Mike9091 | I'm trying to increase the font size of the 'xmessage' command (ie xmessage -fn 14 "hello world") but am unsure of the syntax. Anyone know how? | 05:55 |
| fryguy | Mike9091: does the manpage for xmessage show the syntax | 05:55 |
| bimberi | ubd: xubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:55 |
| ubd | well i cant find it | 05:56 |
| Mike9091 | no, it doesn't mention anything about fonts, but I know it's possible from googling. xmessage -font is a valid option (though not present in the man page) | 05:56 |

| ubd | it is not on synactic i enabled all repos | 05:58 |
| ubd | i am looking for media codec java and etc | 05:58 |
| bazhang | ditch64, as I said that is an odd error related to upgrading from gutsy to hardy (via net) so not sure; you may wish to try ibex though as it has better support for many components etc | 05:58 |

| ubd | i enabled multiverse already. may be the server is lame | 06:02 |
| ubd | ill try another server | 06:02 |
| howdy_ | Mike: to get started, use Commands > Get Tree to capture the resources for the xmessage; window, and use Commands > Show Resource Box to edit the resources for a given widget (selected from the tree) | 06:03 |
| [mbm] | Mike9091: use xfontsel to select the font and size, hit select and it'll be copied to clipboard .. paste it somewhere and then use that string for xmessage's -fn option | 06:03 |
| flaccid | i just upgraded to intrepid from hardy and it seems to have changed the logical device naming of my partitions so it cannot boot. its like it has swapped sda1 and sda2 around. what is the problem and how to fix. the same sort of thing happened last upgrade | 06:04 |
| === Guest41688 is now known as igoungoo | ||
| ubd | if anyone has restrected extras in his synaptic can you tell me the server you are using | 06:04 |
| flaccid | actually seems that in each release the logical naming scheme changes. my hda has now changed to sda and the update-grub on upgrade doesn't seem to produce the right logical names. seems like ubuntu is majorly flawed here | 06:06 |

| lain_wired | Hi all. | 06:06 |
| flaccid | hmm and this channel is always the case of too many indians and no chiefs... | 06:06 |
| lain_wired | I'm having an odd connection issue with Intrepid. | 06:07 |
| Kumo | any idea how I can slave the volume cocntrols on my laptop to control headphone volume as well? | 06:07 |
| [mbm] | flaccid: edit your /boot/grub/menu.list .. there will be an old root= line, hange it and run update-grub | 06:07 |
| poboy975linux | there were lots of chiefs earlier | 06:07 |
| lain_wired | Every time the modem is turned off (then on again), ubuntu can't find the connection, unless I remove the ethernet cable and plug it back it. | 06:07 |
| Flannel | flaccid: Hardy should have been using sda as well. However, most places use UUID now, if not all. | 06:07 |
| flaccid | [mbm], did that but it doesn't update it correctly. i've changed it manually but for people who don't know this they are stuffed | 06:07 |
| lain_wired | I'm not sure why it's not automatic really. | 06:07 |
| Mike9091 | ok trying both those.... | 06:07 |
| bryan_ | how do i get games to work on linux | 06:08 |
| [mbm] | flaccid: oh; file a bug report if you want the person in charge of the package to actually fix it; I just know the workaround | 06:08 |
| bazhang | bryan_, which games | 06:08 |
| Kumo | bryan: Patience. Lots of patience. | 06:08 |
| bryan_ | pc games like diablo | 06:08 |

| iain | nm-applet claims it's connected, but I can't even ping the router. What would cause this? | 06:18 |
| marcel | #ubuntu-de | 06:18 |
| matthew | And see if it recognizes your wireless | 06:18 |
| bingungaja | bazhang: for browser plugin by synaptic ? can u tell me how to do it please ? | 06:18 |
| Quick0ne | I cannot use the wired connection, either, I just discovered. | 06:18 |
| matthew | Have you done an update ? | 06:18 |
| Quick0ne | No, I can't. | 06:18 |
| bazhang | bingungaja, you want the nonfree plugin | 06:18 |
| marcel | #ubuntu - de | 06:18 |
| Quick0ne | I have no current method of reaching the internet from that laptop. | 06:18 |
| Flannel | marcel: /join #ubuntu-de | 06:18 |
| bazhang | marcel, /join | 06:18 |
| Quick0ne | I am currently on my desktoip. | 06:18 |
| tux9778 | quickone i'm using 8.04 on mine and it works like a charm couldn't get 8.10 to install for some odd reason | 06:18 |
| matthew | You probably have to enable some repos and update | 06:18 |
| marcel | ohh okay | 06:18 |
| Quick0ne | It installed just fine. | 06:18 |
| deigel | i have the atheros AR242 rev 01 wifi on intrepid. i have tried the usual linux-backports-modules-intrepid and i seem to still get no wifi on my laptop. i'm unsure what to try, i know for others, this package worked, i think i read it may have stopped working in the latest kernel update. any ideas how to get this one to work ? | 06:19 |
| bazhang | Quick0ne, what video card | 06:19 |
| Quick0ne | No idea. | 06:19 |
| matthew | bazhang, wireless | 06:19 |
| Quick0ne | Video is working fine. | 06:19 |
| Quick0ne | I'll enable repos in synaptic, just a sec. | 06:19 |
| Vastlee | Seems I often have to copy code and run it in a terminal. Does anyone know of a firefox extention that would allow me to highlight code then right click and "Run in Terminal"? | 06:19 |
| bazhang | http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/ deigel | 06:19 |
| deigel | thank you bazhang | 06:19 |
| mphone | hi everyone .can anybody tell me how to use GCoherence? | 06:20 |
| bingungaja | bazhang: the issue is like this : i open wordpress website, and then a pop up menu asking me to install missing plugin (which is flash), then after a while, it stated that it failed to install, so what must i do, so that my browser can work perfectly | 06:20 |
| bazhang | deigel, you're welcome | 06:20 |
| matthew | Quick0ne, can you get a connection with a network cable ? | 06:20 |
| tux9778 | quickone is your laptop hooked up using a ethernet connection? | 06:20 |
| [mbm] | Vastlee: somehow that doesn't seem like a good idea | 06:20 |
| flaccid | hmm this seems like another pathetic ubuntu release. time to start submitting bugs. cyas | 06:20 |
| matthew | tux9778, why repeat what i say ? | 06:21 |
| matthew | tux9778, jk :P | 06:21 |
| tux9778 | ok matthew :P | 06:21 |
| Quick0ne | In the software sources in Synaptic, I've got Canonical, Community, Proprietary, Software restricted all checked. | 06:21 |
| Quick0ne | Should that cover me? | 06:21 |
| matthew | yeah were they already checked >? | 06:21 |
| bazhang | flashplugin-nonfree bingungaja | 06:21 |
| Flannel | Quick0ne: yes | 06:21 |
| Quick0ne | Yes, they were. | 06:22 |
| SeaOfTea | ubuntu /w compiz rules | 06:22 |
| Quick0ne | Hm... | 06:22 |
| Quick0ne | I can't even get it to recognize the ethernet port connection either. | 06:22 |
| gigel2006 | how can I switch to ath5k from ath9k (i have a ath9k chipset)? also does anyone have the madifi channel? | 06:22 |
| [mbm] | SeaOfTea: the novelty of the effects wears off fast | 06:22 |
| ditch64 | so if i wanted to upgrade an existing system from 8.04 to 8.10 with out losing everything, how would i do that? | 06:22 |
| matthew | are you using eth0 ? | 06:22 |
| bingungaja | bazhang: i checked the synaptic : flashplugin has already installed .... | 06:22 |
| Quick0ne | No, I have no drivers installed as far as I can tell. | 06:22 |
| bingungaja | bazhang: i checked the synaptic : flashplugin-nonfree has already installed .... | 06:22 |
| Quick0ne | Forgive me, I haven't used Ubuntu in 18 months now. | 06:23 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | ditch64 | 06:23 |
| ubottu | ditch64: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:23 |
| Quick0ne | I have forgotten most of what I learned. | 06:23 |
| [mbm] | ditch64: run update-manager | 06:23 |
| Quick0ne | I am getting "no network devices available" | 06:23 |
| tux9778 | quickone how i got my wifi to work on my dell inspiron is hooked it up with a network cable went to system hardware drivers and clicked on the checkboxes and then asked if you would like to install some packages and i said yes and then restrated worked for me quickone | 06:23 |
| SeaOfTea | [mbm]: I use it for the features like expo | 06:23 |
| Quick0ne | Yes, but I have it hooked to a network cable and it won't even recognize that! | 06:23 |
| bazhang | bingungaja, did you restart firefox? what site? | 06:23 |
| matthew | tux9778, that is how I do it with my hp laptop | 06:24 |
| bimberi | Quick0ne: Are the network devices enabled in the BIOS? (if they're working under another O/S that would be "yes") | 06:24 |
| Quick0ne | OHHHH wait a fucking minute. | 06:24 |
| Quick0ne | *fucking idiot disabled the LAN* | 06:24 |
| SeaOfTea | if only I could get window rules to work, I would have the best os eva | 06:24 |
| Flannel | Quick0ne: please watch your language | 06:24 |
| bazhang | Quick0ne, please no cursing | 06:24 |
| tux9778 | cool matthew witch version u runnin on urs? | 06:24 |
| matthew | switch was off ? | 06:24 |
| Quick0ne | Oh, sorry about that baz. | 06:24 |
| Quick0ne | Won't do it again. | 06:24 |
| matthew | tux9778, ubuntu ? | 06:24 |
| tux9778 | yes | 06:24 |
| matthew | tux9778, 8.04 | 06:24 |
| * Quick0ne apologizes for the language. | 06:24 | |
| [mbm] | SeaOfTea: only feature I still have enabled is translucent terminals; atleast when with terminal windows 3 layers deep on my desktop I still get a sense of when something is printed | 06:24 |
| Quick0ne | Thanks guys, I should have it from here. | 06:24 |
| tux9778 | same here matthew u couldn't install 8.10 either? | 06:25 |
| Quick0ne | Thank you for pointing out the obvious. | 06:25 |
| bingungaja | bazhang: i'm using flock, wordpress my newly blog, the flashplugin has already installed long before it asked from the browser i guess .... | 06:25 |
| Quick0ne | :) | 06:25 |
| matthew | I can install it there are a few apps I couldn't get working | 06:25 |
| iain | Why can I see access points, connect to one, and get an IP address but be unable to ping the router/AP? | 06:25 |
| matthew | I have 8.10 on a usb stick | 06:25 |
| tux9778 | ok matthew i couldn't even install 8.10 so i tried 8.04 works like a charm | 06:25 |
| matthew | I'm doing an experiment now | 06:25 |
| [mbm] | iain: check the routing table? | 06:26 |
| tux9778 | cool matthew | 06:26 |
| bimberi | iain: the router/ap might not answer pings | 06:26 |
| matthew | tux9778, try installing with the alternate install cd | 06:26 |
| === ZXCZXC23123123 is now known as yoyo123 | ||
| SeaOfTea | [mbm]: You can also bind all kinds of shortcuts like viewport switching and what not. If used properly I think compiz can make you a real power user. | 06:26 |
| iain | [mbm]: I don't know what that means; could you explain? | 06:26 |
| matthew | I use 8.04 on my laptop for the lts | 06:26 |
| tux9778 | matthew alternate install cd? | 06:26 |
| [mbm] | iain: not without several paragraphs and a few diagrams ;) | 06:27 |
| matthew | yeah | 06:27 |
| gigel2006 | How can I change to ath5k from ath9k ?? | 06:27 |
| iain | bimberi: I can ping it from this PC though, just not the one with Ubuntu | 06:27 |
| tux9778 | so matthew use another cd? | 06:27 |
| matthew | http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate | 06:27 |
| matthew | it is a text install | 06:27 |
| matthew | instead of the live cd | 06:27 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: do you have ath9k installed? | 06:27 |
| matthew | that is how I got it working | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: "sudo rmmod ath9k; sudo modprobe ath5k" | 06:27 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: yes and ath9k chipset | 06:27 |
| iain | [mbm]: what file would that be? | 06:28 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: and that's it ? | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: But ath5k might not support your card | 06:28 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: thats it | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: That will do it temporarily | 06:28 |
| picachu | Hey. where can I download a ubuntu ISO that is up to date? (Not the Oct 30 ISO, but a nightly, maybe?) I want to check if a newer version works | 06:28 |
| tux9778 | thanks matthew i'll stick with 8.04 lol | 06:28 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: I knwo but worth a try since ath5k supports injeciton and 9k DOESNT | 06:28 |
| matthew | lol I will to for my laptop lol | 06:28 |
| [mbm] | iain: *shrug* ok, I have a bit of time .. do you know what an ip address is? (yes I know this is a dumb place to start) | 06:28 |
| baby-d | hey im looking for a tv torrent open for apps? anyone? | 06:28 |
| matthew | 8.04 is supported longer than 8.10 | 06:29 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yes; I do :-) | 06:29 |
| baby-d | oops i mean sign ups | 06:29 |
| tux9778 | matthew do you own a mp3 player? | 06:29 |
| matthew | yeah I have 2 | 06:29 |
| [mbm] | iain: and your wireless device has the correct ip address? (probably starts with a 192.168.x.x) | 06:29 |
| tux9778 | cool matthew witch ones? | 06:29 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yeah | 06:29 |
| bimberi | iain: ah, not that then :| | 06:29 |
| matthew | both are cowon iaudio | 06:29 |
| matthew | they come with linux software | 06:30 |
| ddgoose | picachu, you could download the mini.iso, and point it at a mirror that shows as up to date on the apt mirror list. | 06:30 |
| [mbm] | iain: know what a network mask is? | 06:30 |
| tux9778 | not those matthew ipods and such ones | 06:30 |
| iain | [mbm]: No, but I know what mine is | 06:30 |
| matthew | I don't have an ipod | 06:30 |
| matthew | never will have one | 06:30 |
| [mbm] | iain: 255.255.255.0? | 06:30 |
| tux9778 | i had one matthew and didn't like it lol | 06:30 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yeah, also written as 24 (I can guess why) | 06:31 |
| [mbm] | iain: ah, so you know binary? | 06:31 |
| matthew | I support hardware companies that support linux | 06:31 |
| vioz | ubuntu is the best in the world | 06:31 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: SeaOfTea: module ath5k not found. | 06:31 |
| tux9778 | thats cool matthew | 06:31 |
| vioz | windows is the fucking operation system | 06:31 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: ath5k is in linux-backports-modules I believe, let me check though | 06:31 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yeah but I haven't used it since my C class a year ago | 06:32 |
| thomasite | Hello. Is "sudo apt-get autoremove" safe? | 06:32 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules ? | 06:32 |
| matthew | anyone know if you can custom make a usb pin drive then disc dump that drive and burn that image to dvd and use it as a live dvd ? | 06:32 |
| picachu | Guys, I need a "nightly" build of 8.10, and i know it exists, but where do I find them? | 06:33 |
| [mbm] | iain: the netmmask represents the bits in the ip address that are constant, so if you have a 192.168.1.100 ip and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, the "192.168.1" is constant between all the devices on the network; to get to anything outside that range, it needs a gateway | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | picachu: Nightly builds were for pre-release versions | 06:33 |
| picachu | Oh. I'm doomed. Thanks anyway :( | 06:34 |
| iain | [mbm]: That was my guess, except I don't understand the gateway part. | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | picachu: What do you need a nightly build for ? | 06:34 |
| gigel2006 | <gigel2006> Jordan_U: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules ? | 06:34 |
| [mbm] | iain: that part's simple .. it's any device connected to two or more networks .. it's that kid in class that you ask to pass messages for you .. they pass it off to the next person (gateway) until it finally reaches the destination | 06:35 |
| matthew | nightly build ? | 06:35 |
| iain | So would that be the router or the modem? | 06:35 |
| lucile | hi | 06:35 |
| [mbm] | iain: depends on how things are connected; ever heard of a program called traceroute? | 06:36 |
| iain | Yeah | 06:36 |
| lucile | somebody help me please | 06:36 |
| lucile | i cant enter to the Ubuntu-es | 06:36 |
| SeaOfTea | Does anyone know if there are any games or fun apps that use circular scrolling? | 06:36 |
| picachu | Jordan_U: after installing 8.10 I guess insane crashes everywhere. Apps don't load, Network manager doesn't like my WEP connection (I think those errors were a think of the past?) and *sigh* more things like that. I can't even do updates to see if the problem is fixed. I could use 8.10 but I really want updated versions of programs, like Gnome-Do. The version in Hardy is useless for me | 06:36 |
| bazhang | lucile, type /join #ubuntu-es | 06:36 |
| lucile | ok thx | 06:37 |
| gigel2006 | How can I search repositories ? apt-cache ? | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 06:37 |
| bazhang | apt-cache search gigel2006 | 06:37 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: I don't have interpid though | 06:37 |
| [mbm] | iain: every packet you send has a TTL - a time to live .. each time the message is repeated by a gateway the TTL decreases; when the TTL expires, the gateway sends back an error message saying the TTL was too low | 06:37 |
| SeaOfTea | poor packets | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: Ahh, then you will have to find a package for or build ath5k. Does ath_pci work? | 06:38 |
| [mbm] | iain: traceroute works by purposely starting with a low TTL and slowly increasing it, so it gets error messages back from each "hop" (gateway) between source and destination | 06:38 |
| gigel2006 | bazhang: THANKS | 06:38 |
| lucile | is /join #ubuntu-es ?? | 06:38 |
| iain | TBH traceroute isn't installed by default so if you think I might need it to fix my connection let me know and I'll download it on this PC and put it on a flash drive. | 06:38 |
| bazhang | gigel2006, you're welcome | 06:38 |
| bazhang | lucile, yes | 06:38 |
| tux9778 | matthew what apps do u use to scan wifi networks? | 06:38 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: no idea | 06:39 |
| iain | [mbm]: Ah, so that's how it finds each link in the chain. | 06:39 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: I just need the ath5k driver | 06:39 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: No repositories for it ? | 06:39 |
| SeaOfTea | I believe you will have to disable mad wife if you wish to use ath5k | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | iain: tracepath is basically the same thing | 06:39 |
| SeaOfTea | mad wifi | 06:39 |
| lucile | if u want enter in this channel , nobody into of channel | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: I don't know off hand | 06:39 |
| deuceswild | Hey Guys. I was in here earlier because when I boot Ubuntu from the HD, my computer suddenly turns off, but it works fine from the livecd. Someone in here told me to try booting with noapic acpi=off and it seems like it works now. | 06:40 |
| [mbm] | iain: taceroute or tracepath is handy to have when your network isn't working | 06:40 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: how do I do that ? | 06:40 |
| CjMaster | Quick questions: I know that lots of applications and files slows down windows, but does it slow down ubuntu? | 06:40 |
| deuceswild | I noticed there is a bios update available for my computer. Do you think that might fix it? | 06:40 |
| SeaOfTea | deuceswild: That's how I have to boot | 06:40 |
| Jordan_U | deuceswild: It might | 06:40 |
| [mbm] | iain: next bit of useful info, a routing table .. if you type "route -n" at the prompt you | 06:41 |
| SeaOfTea | You have to blacklist it | 06:41 |
| [mbm] | iain: you'll see your routing table | 06:41 |
| graydot | deuceswild, when I used that option, my system heated up like crazy | 06:41 |
| Lymies | For some reason with my perl installation, it doesn't understand the 'use' statements. Thats something thats so basic in perl, so theres gotta be something wrong here. I just used the line 'use strict;' and it gives me this error: line 3: use: command not found | 06:41 |
| deuceswild | I don't want to have to burn a 1.4 megabyte cd | 06:41 |
| gigel2006 | How can I find my kernel version? | 06:41 |
| deuceswild | I'll keep an eye on the temp. | 06:41 |
| deuceswild | But the fans do run | 06:41 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: uname -r | 06:41 |
| Lymies | gigel2006, uname -r | 06:41 |
| supertanker | Do I need to have this "RPC" service sitting on my computer with a port open? | 06:41 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: Lymies: ty | 06:41 |
| iain | [mbm]: tracepath 192.168.2.1 returns 2 lines with my PC's IP address. Since it doesn't return 192.168.2.1 I assume it's not reaching the router; is this correct? | 06:42 |
| iain | Ah now this is strange; it's reporting a different IP address for my box than ifconfig does | 06:42 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: You should really think about upgrading to 8.10, it would make loading ath5k a hell of lot easier | 06:42 |
| [mbm] | iain: each line has an ip addres, netmask (genmask) and gateway .. the list is sorted from the most restrictive to least restrictive netmask | 06:42 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: I HAVE 8.10 | 06:42 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: is that intrepid ? | 06:43 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: 8.10 is intrepid ( or technically the development codename for 8.10 was intrepid ) | 06:43 |
| SeaOfTea | yeppers | 06:43 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: OH so I can try your command now | 06:44 |
| SeaOfTea | that's why I thought you were in something else, cause you said you didn't have intrepid | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: What is the #! line in your script? | 06:44 |
| [mbm] | iain: what's the basic layout of your network? internet comes in a cable/dsl model, which is then connected to a router which is then connected to all the computers? | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | gigel2006: Yes | 06:44 |
| Lymies | Jordan_U, #!/usr/bin/perl -w | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: How are you calling your script? | 06:45 |
| Lymies | flac2mp3.pl | 06:45 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yes, and I'm upstairs from the crappy wireless router with a crappy wireless connection, on account of there being no ethernet port in this room. | 06:45 |
| Lymies | and its in /usr/bin/local | 06:45 |
| Lymies | which is in my path | 06:45 |
| iain | But it's not so crappy that I should be able to see it but not ping it; I could connect at least under 8.04 | 06:45 |
| gigel2006 | Jordan_U: Error inserting lbm_cw_mac80211 Unknown symbol in module | 06:46 |
| [mbm] | iain: your cable/dsl router has builtin wireless? | 06:46 |
| netdur | help, samba shares don't see each other | 06:46 |
| iain | My router does; not my cable modem | 06:46 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: somethings wrong with the driver | 06:46 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: Did you install the backports module | 06:47 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: yes, do I have to restart ? | 06:47 |
| deuceswild | Hey Seaoftea: I was just wondering what happens when you don't boot with noapic acpi=off | 06:47 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: Odd, because perl doesn't give "command not found", shells do. Can you check that /usr/bin/perl is not a symlink to /bin/sh or something like that ( though I don't see why it would be ) | 06:47 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: try a restart, and if that doesn't work disable madwifi | 06:48 |
| [mbm] | iain: and it probably also has a DHCP server for handing out ip addresses, so upon connecting to the wireless network, you should get an ip of 192.168.1.x, a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1 - right? | 06:48 |
| thomasite | ! fslint | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fslint | 06:48 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: how do I disable madwidi ? | 06:49 |
| iain | Replace the third bit with a 2 (192.168.2.1), but yeah | 06:49 |
| SeaOfTea | deuceswild: My boot locks up if I don't boot with those options | 06:49 |
| Lymies | Jordan_U, /usr/bin/perl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped | 06:49 |
| Lymies | no symlink | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: That's really odd | 06:49 |
| [mbm] | iain: and from your wireless connection can you ping anything 192.168.2.* ? | 06:49 |
| SeaOfTea | gigel2006: you should be able to actually through system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 06:50 |
| gigel2006 | SeaOfTea: ok , im going to try it | 06:50 |
| iain | [mbm]: On any other box, yeah | 06:50 |
| SeaOfTea | give it a shot | 06:50 |
| Vastlee | What is the linux command to go up a directory. i.e. cd.. in windows | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | Vastlee: cd .. | 06:51 |
| [mbm] | iain: I'm guessing that besidess a wireless connection, that machine also has an ethernet connection? | 06:51 |
| SeaOfTea | lol | 06:51 |
| Vastlee | Oh you need a space, got it | 06:51 |
| chuckmoney | Vastlee: you can also do cd ../ just to be sure but yeah, cd .. works. | 06:51 |
| SeaOfTea | rofl, (01:51:01 AM) Vastlee: What is the linux command to go up a directory. i.e. cd.. in windows | 06:51 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yeah, but it isn't connected to anything | 06:52 |
| iain | Oh, crap, I just thought of something: | 06:52 |
| Vastlee | I never put a space in there in windows, wasn't used to it | 06:52 |
| deuceswild | Vastlee: that got me too | 06:52 |
| [mbm] | iain: if the ethernet connection still has an ip address, the computer will become confused about which device to use | 06:52 |
| deuceswild | I made an alias for it though | 06:52 |
| eric | HOw do i install flashplayer on ubuntu 8.04 ? | 06:52 |
| iain | When I installed from the alternate CD, it asked for network setup info, and I gave it a static IP address, because that's what I used under 8.04. But nm-applet has been assigning it an IP address from the DHCP pool. | 06:53 |
| Songwind | I need to make an "ls" alias for my Windows workstation in the office and save myself some grief. | 06:53 |
| === eric is now known as Guest58286 | ||
| chuckmoney | SeaOfTea: don't make fun of him. The difference between "I didn't know I needed a space" and "I don't know how to disable madwifi" is a very small one | 06:53 |
| deuceswild | Songwind, have you used powershell? | 06:53 |
| === Xial_ is now known as Xial | ||
| iain | Sure enough, 'ifconfig eth0' shows that static IP address. | 06:53 |
| === Guest58286 is now known as FuLio | ||
| Vastlee | Eric, I went to adobe's site and they actually had a download for the package installer | 06:53 |
| Vastlee | Made it very easy | 06:53 |
| FuLio | Vastlee, Alright ty | 06:53 |
| iain | How can I get rid of that setting? | 06:54 |
| netdur | help, samba shares can see each others but can't access shared files | 06:54 |
| SeaOfTea | I'm not making fun of him, its just ironic that the answer was in the question | 06:54 |
| [mbm] | iain: ifdown eth0, then edit /etc/network/interfaces and remove the eth0 section | 06:54 |
| Songwind | deuce: I just noticed it got installed via SMS sometime this week, but I haven't really used it much yet. | 06:54 |
| deuceswild | you should try it out | 06:54 |
| Songwind | I did use it long enough to know that it doesn't have "grep" :) | 06:54 |
| chuckmoney | eric: you can drop to a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree" and that should do it. you may also need libflashsupport, but usually that's not needed. | 06:54 |
| deuceswild | really? I thought it would have an alias built in to the equivilant | 06:55 |
| thanakrit | hi | 06:55 |
| fuxxy | Is North America NTSC sample rate 32000 Hz? I 'm getting an error in mythbackend log "2008-11-15 00:54:45.507 MPEGRec(/dev/v4l/video0) Warning: Audio sample rate 32000 Hz is not supported by ivtv driver, using 48000 Hz instead." | 06:55 |
| Songwind | Not that I noticed. I am pretty used to findstr now. I generally only grep once per windows session nowadays. :) | 06:55 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: Is there anything before "use" ? | 06:55 |
| Lymies | Jordan_U, nope | 06:56 |
| iain | [mbm]: Do I need to run a command after that to register the change? | 06:56 |
| chuckmoney | fuxxy: nope. you either need 11500Hz, 24000, or 48000. | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: How did you install perl? | 06:56 |
| Lymies | Jordan_U, it runs fine if i use 'perl /usr/local/bin/flac2mp3.pl' but just not if i use 'flac2mp3.pl' | 06:56 |
| [mbm] | iain: no; the ifdown part was to make it forget the eth0 settings, editing the file is just so it doesn't reapply then on a reboot | 06:56 |
| iain | RT | 06:56 |
| iain | OK* | 06:57 |
| chuckmoney | Lymies: you need to add PERL as the interperater to the first line of the script itself | 06:57 |
| fuxxy | chuckmoney, I'm assuming I set that in the myth frontend. Know where specificlally? | 06:57 |
| iain | I can ping my router now, but can't tracepath it. Why would that be? | 06:57 |
| Debolaz | Hmm, an application is segfaulting, but I'm not getting any coredumps for it. It's not a setuid, it's my (writable) directory it's being run in.. Is there any particular reason I'd not get a core dump? | 06:57 |
| Lymies | chuckmoney, the first line of the script is #!/usr/bin/perl -w | 06:57 |
| Xial | I don't quite know how to describe this. I just reflexively pressed win+R to run something, and now my screen is moving around when I move the mouse. Tapping escape doesn't make it stop, and pressing the same keys again does not help. What did I just break? | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: You aren't running ". flac2mp3" are you? | 06:57 |
| Lymies | Nope. I'm running flac2mp3.pl | 06:58 |
| [mbm] | fuxxy: most audio cards require 44.1Khz or 48Khz so the software converts .. the original 32Khz comes from whatever source material you used | 06:58 |
| picachu | QUESTION ~ Say I want to install Hardy, is there a way I don't have to go through installing all the updates? Like, get a more recent CD? Not Intrepid? | 06:58 |
| chuckmoney | Lymies: no clue why it would be failing then, since those commands are basically one and the same. try checking your $path and see if one of the other locations listed first also has perl in it | 06:58 |
| chuckmoney | fuxxy: not that I know of, I run the standard ubuntu desktop, not myth. | 06:58 |
| Songwind | Xial: like it's on a cube? | 06:58 |
| Songwind | Xial: try right-clicking? | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: As a test to see that the #! line isn't being ignored replace /user/bin/perl -w with /bin/cat, when you "run" your script it should simply print itself | 06:59 |
| [mbm] | iain: can you ping something outside your router (google?) | 06:59 |
| chuckmoney | fuxxy: though if it doing it at 48000 for you automatically, you can safely ignore the error. 32000 may just be the frew of your input source, so maybe you can't change it anyway. | 06:59 |
| fuxxy | chuckmoney, LiveTV recording profile is set to 48000, but there's a note tht says "btaudio may only allow 32000" | 07:00 |
| Xial | Songwind: Not like a cube, but more like a picture that's been zoomed in upon and is panning. Right-click on the desktop had no effect other than to open a menu offering to change backgrounds. | 07:00 |
| iain | [mbm]: Yes, but I again can't tracepath it. | 07:00 |
| [mbm] | iain: wouldn't worry too much about the tracepath then | 07:00 |
| Songwind | Xial: ah, you changed viewport size. | 07:00 |
| iain | [mbm]: OK | 07:01 |
| iain | [mbm]: I really appreciate your help. | 07:01 |
| [mbm] | iain: np. | 07:01 |
| Vastlee | I'm trying to create this samba share, and in the documentation I need root rights to edit my fstab, naturally I can't save the file after editing it. So how do I give myself root rights? | 07:01 |
| chuckmoney | fuxxy: ignore that. it's just saying your bluetooth input or output may not run at a full 48k. again, audio systems like that, especially bluetooth, are made to shift automatically on the fly. you can ignore it. | 07:01 |
| [mbm] | Vastlee: sudo | 07:01 |
| fuxxy | chuckmoney, ok. | 07:01 |
| iain | OK, on the the next problem :P | 07:02 |
| Vastlee | I was editing this file with gedit, is it possible to do it from there? | 07:02 |
| fuxxy | chuckmoney, I've got a PVR150, I would assume the pvr150 would record at 48000 hz sample rate natively. | 07:02 |
| chuckmoney | fuxxy: worst case your sound will just barely sound a little degraded, best case it's just a warning and your bluetooth can do 48k fine. either way, it's not worth trying to fix...if it even can be fixed. | 07:02 |
| [mbm] | Vastlee: although with ubuntu you don't need to edit the samba file, you can just right click on folders and share them | 07:02 |
| iain | Metacity segfaults, so I have no WM. What might cause this? | 07:02 |
| Vastlee | Ahh that's good news. Thanks mbm | 07:03 |
| Neurologic | I'm looking for a few opinions, of some very useful/'gotta-have' type of applications available through the package manager? | 07:03 |
| Xial | Songwind: Okay. I think I figured it out. It stopped sliding and being blurry, which helps. | 07:04 |
| iain | Neurologic: why would you install something just because someone else can't live without it? | 07:04 |
| Songwind | Xial: Cool. I never use that feature so I was trying to figure out how to turn it off :) | 07:04 |
| woody86 | Would there be any differences between the way Kubuntu and Ubuntu work that would make one better to run on a 64bit dual-core AMD? | 07:04 |
| Xial | Songwind: Strangely, all I did was an alt-tab, and it just blinked. | 07:05 |
| Jordan_U | iain: Is there any output from "metacity --replace" before it segfaults ? | 07:05 |
| [mbm] | iain: just run metacity again to restart the WM .. if you're really interested in why it crashed you can gdb it | 07:05 |
| Neurologic | iain, Not really for me, just told a friend to get Ubuntu, and she wanted some applications to try out, I told her "Ubuntu starts with most anything you really 'need' but...I'll look around" | 07:05 |
| chuckmoney | Neurologic: Thunderbird, Gossip, X-Chat, Banshee. Beyond that I mainly just use the default apps. Tilda, if it works with your graphics card and you do a lot of console work. Maybe WINE if you need to run basic windows programs. Hmm...not much else. | 07:05 |
| badfish69 | how do i kill all instances of terminal? | 07:05 |
| Neurologic | chuckmoney, A lot of the same things I thought too, thanks =) | 07:05 |
| chuckmoney | badfish69: drop to a terminal and run "killall gnome-termi9nal" | 07:06 |
| [mbm] | badfish69: figure out the name of the terminal (like gnome-terminal) and then: killall gnome-terminal ? | 07:06 |
| Vastlee | To share a folder after installing Samba, do I just right click - properties - permissions and change the group to sambashare? | 07:06 |
| chuckmoney | badfish69: what [mbm] said :) | 07:06 |
| [mbm] | Vastlee: thought it was right clikc -> sharing options .. not on a ubuntu machien right now to check | 07:06 |
| iain | Jordan_U: No. With or without --replace, it just says "segmentation fault". There's not even a flicker of a WM trying to show up. | 07:07 |
| iain | Neurologic: then: Kobo Deluxe is a fun game | 07:07 |
| Vastlee | I didn't see sharing options when I did a right click on the folder | 07:07 |
| badfish69 | ty | 07:07 |
| Vastlee | Maybe I don't have Samba setup right? | 07:07 |
| chuckmoney | Vastlee: yeah, it's just Sharing Options | 07:07 |
| [mbm] | Vastlee: you might need to log in again afeter installing samba | 07:07 |
| Neurologic | iain, alright =) | 07:07 |
| Vastlee | k will try thanks | 07:07 |
| nomad77 | !swat | Vastlee | 07:07 |
| ubottu | Vastlee: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 07:07 |
| chuckmoney | Vastlee: and it should prompt you to install samba the first time you try to share one if you don't already have samba installed. | 07:07 |
| my_haz | when using the live cd, where is the hardisk mounted? | 07:09 |
| chuckmoney | Neurologic: If she wants a fun game you could also suggest Freeciv. It's the only 2D thing I've ever sank 7 hours of my life into per play | 07:09 |
| prosthetics | hey guys | 07:10 |
| Neurologic | chuckmoney, lol! I will then, though thunderbird? Not a fan of Evolution? | 07:10 |
| prosthetics | many around at the moment? | 07:10 |
| Star568 | hi all, may i have suggestion how to partation a 16 G flash drive for USB startup? | 07:10 |
| chuckmoney | my_haz: /media/disk maybe? Not sure. Everything should be mounted under /media or /mnt. You can just run "mount" in terminal and it'll tell you. | 07:10 |
| [mbm] | my_haz: probably isn't mounted, but if it is it'll be in /media | 07:10 |
| prosthetics | Star, u running linux or windows? | 07:10 |
| prosthetics | windows: use the hpo format utility | 07:10 |
| Star568 | linux | 07:10 |
| prosthetics | linux: no idea :/ | 07:10 |
| prosthetics | solaris i can tell you as well :) | 07:10 |
| picachu | Star568: 5GB for Ubuntu, 1GB for Swap, the rest for /home | 07:10 |
| my_haz | [mbm]: so how would i dd (as in disk destroy) it ? | 07:11 |
| prosthetics | picachu, he still needs to make it bootable | 07:11 |
| ubd | i have a 1 port ethernet adsl modem, it is a zyxel 660r, i coected a netgear ap to it. i have 2 laptops but one of them frequetly disconnects (actually does not disconnect but receive nothing when the other laptop is used) is not it possible to use 1 port modem with two pcs | 07:11 |
| === Guest41725 is now known as Jesus | ||
| Jordan_U | Star568: Do you want to make a bootable Ubuntu install? | 07:11 |
| chuckmoney | Neurologic: Not so much against evolution as for Thunderbird. I don't use most of the groupware-centric stuff in Evolution and I use Gossip instead of Pidgin so it makes more sense to run Thunderbird with Lightning. Smaller, faster, everything I need, nothing I don't. | 07:11 |
| my_haz | ubd: not directly, not like if you had a router | 07:12 |
| [mbm] | my_haz: figure out the name of the device you want to destroy and then read the dd man page :) | 07:12 |
| prosthetics | Guys, i havent run my ubuntu in a while, are ati drivers for 48xx series working nowadays? | 07:12 |
| Jordan_U | Star568: In 8.10 you can just go to System > Administration > Create USB Startup Disk | 07:12 |
| iain | Ooh, I figured it out. Updated apt now that I'm online, and reinstalled metacity and metacity-common. | 07:12 |
| Neurologic | chuckmoney, hmm, good point | 07:13 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: Still there? | 07:13 |
| chuckmoney | ubd: Indeed, as my_haz says, if you have only a wireless AP, not a Wireless ROuter, then the only way to service both laptops would be to either buy a router, or else add a second wireless card to one laptop and use it as a bridge for the other laptop., | 07:13 |
| my_haz | [mbm]: so what you suggest for a the REGEX for `dmesg | grep REGEX` should be? | 07:13 |
| [mbm] | ubd: if you paid for multiple ip addresses, you can plug an ethernet switch into the adsl, otherwise go buy a 'cable/dsl router' and plug that in .. that will only use on adsl ip address | 07:13 |
| Star568 | jordan: my question is 16G for fat32 will waste a lot space | 07:13 |
| [mbm] | my_haz: the first disk is usually /dev/sda and the first partition on that disk is /dev/sda1 | 07:14 |
| CjMaster | Quick questions: I know that lots of applications and files slows down windows, but does it slow down ubuntu? | 07:14 |
| ubd | my_haz, i checked from the modem (is also a router/gateway i think) laptops healthly gets seperate ip like 192.168.1.3 and .4 ap get 192 168.1.2 and the gateway 168.1.1 | 07:14 |
| my_haz | [mbm]: ok i will try that | 07:14 |
| ubd | i dot see any problem here | 07:14 |
| picachu | CjMaster: What do you mean? You mean having them just installed, or running all those applications? | 07:14 |
| CjMaster | Installed | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | my_haz: Be careful though, you don't want to destroy the wrong disk :) | 07:15 |
| Star568 | picachu: what's the next step to do when i boot up with the USB drive? | 07:15 |
| my_haz | Jordan_U: hehe | 07:15 |
| my_haz | ok wish me luck | 07:15 |
| chuckmoney | my_haz: yes, and if that fails, check /dev/hda. Older drives (like really old IDE drives) will sometimes be /dev/hda. any new drive - SATA or SCSI - will be /dev/sda | 07:15 |
| [mbm] | my_haz: why are you dd'ing the drive ? | 07:15 |
| picachu | CjMaster: no, it won't slow Ubuntu down. | 07:15 |
| iain | my_haz: be sure to grok the bs option in the man page, or it will take forever. | 07:15 |
| my_haz | [mbm]: because i want to destroy the data so that its fresh | 07:15 |
| my_haz | iain: bs=1 ? | 07:16 |
| chuckmoney | my_haz: but /dev/hda will often be your CD drive too so only look for /dev/hda if you have no /dev/sda | 07:16 |
| [mbm] | my_haz: just reinstalling or are you going to sell the drive? | 07:16 |
| my_haz | [mbm]: i am giving the drive away | 07:16 |
| [mbm] | my_haz: if you're just reinstalling you don't actually need to wipe the drive; if you're giving the drive away you may want to use /dev/urandom as a source when dd'ing | 07:16 |
| chuckmoney | my_haz: may I suggest using dban? | 07:16 |
| picachu | Hey...... how can I plugin my USB drive from Live CD? It doesn't show on desktop, not even on nautilus sidebar | 07:17 |
| Star568 | picachu: do i need to "install ubuntu" when the USB bootup screen show up? will it install it on my USB drive only ? | 07:17 |
| chuckmoney | my_haz: Derik's Boot & Nuke. the most utterly simple way to wipe any drive make-the-NSA-work-overtime clean. | 07:17 |
| iain | my_haz: 1M or larger, although IIRC too large can cause problems. | 07:18 |
| iain | but (IIRC) the default is to process only 4k at a time or something | 07:18 |
| picachu | Star568: Sorry, I have never installed to USB before. Someone said you install from ... System->... something. | 07:18 |
| * [mbm] notes that dding a drive is also a way to fix remapped sectors that show up in the SMART diagnostics | 07:18 | |
| my_haz | chuckmoney: is dban its onw bootable? | 07:19 |
| iain | my_haz: For most uses, you can wipe the partition tables and save a lot of time. If you're trying to erase confidential data, dd may not be secure enough (or it may), in which case research DBAN. | 07:19 |
| chuckmoney | picachu: you may have to plug in your drive BEFORE you boot from the CD for it to be detected. | 07:19 |
| vastlee | Man, next time a newb like me asks about Samba shares you guys should just tell them to search for Samba in the Add/Remove thing. That gui in there did it all for me. Thanks for all the help though guys, it works great. | 07:19 |
| my_haz | there is nothing on the drive the NSA would give to **** about, i am just being careful | 07:19 |
| chuckmoney | my_haz: yes, it fits on a single floppy but they have a 10MB ISO image available. | 07:19 |
| picachu | chuckmoney: It's a drive that I use as if it was internal: its always plugged in | 07:19 |
| [mbm] | iain: if you overwrite the drive with a known value like /dev/zero then the minor variations from 0 can be used to recover the old data .. if you use a random source then it's not likely to be recovered | 07:20 |
| my_haz | dd will be secure enough for this | 07:20 |
| my_haz | thanks all | 07:20 |
| chuckmoney | picachu: well...just use the desktop installer icon and when it asks you to pick a drive be sure you pick your USB one. if it's not a choice, then ask again. | 07:21 |
| [mbm] | any recovery of a dd'd drive will involve taking the disk apart and reading the magnetic strength on the surface of the disk, so even a /dev/zero is enough in most cases | 07:21 |
| picachu | chuckmoney: I don't want to isntall to USB, I just want to edit a file in it | 07:21 |
| hsarkar | need some help regarding cron | 07:22 |
| picachu | type man cron ? ^^; | 07:22 |
| * [mbm] wonders if any data recovery services deal with SSD's yet | 07:22 | |
| herb | hsarkar: ask your question | 07:23 |
| iain | chuckmoney: If it fits on a floppy why is the ISO 10M? | 07:23 |
| iain | [mbm]: OK. For a random source, is DD faster than DBAN? For a large drive, at least DBAN has a progress bar, which is helpfus psychologically. | 07:23 |
| vastlee | Could anyone suggest a good file sync program? I'd like to sync any new files I get with my usb drive. I need one with a fairly simple gui since I'm special | 07:23 |
| hsarkar | http://pastebin.com/m6dd8caa0 | 07:24 |
| kindofabuzz | rsync | 07:24 |
| chuckmoney | iain: I think they have to do some extra stuff for floppy emulation | 07:24 |
| hsarkar | I am running above script in using cron | 07:24 |
| [mbm] | iain: maybe, not sure what dban does .. most of the secure delete utils overwrite several times .. as for the progress bar, a dd variant called dd_rescue will show you the byte offset and speed | 07:24 |
| vastlee | That's a command line program though isn't it? | 07:24 |
| hsarkar | but the lines containing httrack dosent get executed | 07:24 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah, you're on linux, you should be learning all the cli you can | 07:24 |
| kindofabuzz | makes things even faster | 07:24 |
| chuckmoney | iain: and DBAN is faster at a standard 3-pass all0-'s than DD. faster by far, mainly because of the lack of overhead from having to run a kernel, much less a full desktop. | 07:24 |
| [mbm] | kindofabuzz: not sure that's true anymore | 07:24 |
| vastlee | I certainly hope not. If Linux wants to actually contend with an MS operating system it's going to have to continue to make strides in being idiot (me) proof. | 07:25 |
| herb | hsarkar: is httrack in your path? perhaps setting the path explicitly in the script would work for you. | 07:25 |
| kindofabuzz | [mbm], sure it is, yes ubuntu made things easier for newcomers, but the cli is still faster than opening gui's and doing things, as long as you know the commands | 07:26 |
| hsarkar | yes | 07:26 |
| euxneks | vastlee, there has been more progress in that area in the last year than microsoft has done in the past decade | 07:26 |
| hsarkar | I can execute the script manually from command line | 07:26 |
| vastlee | I agree completely, but Linux still has a long way to go. I'm doing my best but 90% of the Linux stuff is still completely greek to me | 07:26 |
| kindofabuzz | !rsync | vastlee | 07:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync | 07:26 |
| [mbm] | kindofabuzz: while it's true you can do anything via the commandline, and often faster than the gui, I don't believe learning the cli is required for using ubuntu .. if someone asks for help with something like changing the resolution, there's a control panel for that .. telling them to edit xorg.conf directly is just going to scare them away from linux | 07:26 |
| euxneks | vastlee, it gets easier :) | 07:26 |
| hsarkar | herb: path is not a problem, as I have exported its path | 07:27 |
| kindofabuzz | [mbm], i didn't tell them to just use the cli, i just said rsync is what they want | 07:27 |
| euxneks | [mbm], you can't deny that a lot more options open up with CLI | 07:27 |
| vastlee | Encouraging :) | 07:27 |
| iain | [mbm]: AFAIK, DBAN is configurable how paranoid it is (can do a single overwrite), but its useful because it has an option for doing a DOD-compliant wipe, which is required in some branches of gov't | 07:27 |
| herb | hsarkar: try setting path in the script or use the full path... also to help you debug you can set the first line to bash -x which might expose the issue while running with cron. | 07:27 |
| hsarkar | rsync works fine | 07:27 |
| chuckmoney | kindofabuzz: AFAIK, an average user can run Ubuntu without ever touching a console. Openoffice, Firefox, Evolution, etc, can all be operated 24/7 without use of a CLI. If you want to start tinkering with samba then you're running a server, and anyone who goes bonkers when they open a console shouldn't be running an open deamon on their system anyway. | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | Lymies: Still there? | 07:27 |
| * [mbm] loves the commandline, but at the same tiem I know that many people associate that with an era that passed long ago and are absolutely scared of it | 07:27 | |
| chuckmoney | kindofabuzz: but honestly, no, CLI isn't manditory for Joe Deskclerk. | 07:28 |
| euxneks | vastlee, pretty much because of the way Linux is built, if you have a problem it's solvable - I find it very hard to claim the same with Windows or MacOSX | 07:28 |
| hsarkar | herb: where will cron logs appear in /var/log/cron ? | 07:28 |
| Hotshot` | anyone here have any knowledge of wubi? | 07:28 |
| euxneks | vastlee, OSS for the win :) | 07:28 |
| kindofabuzz | lol Joe Deskclerk | 07:28 |
| vastlee | I am actually a big fan of the entire community. I personally think the Linux/Ubuntu community is one of the strongest testaments that altruism still exists in humans. | 07:28 |
| herb | hsarkar: yes. you can set a mail to in the cron itself so it'll mail output to an account, if you want. | 07:28 |
| euxneks | vastlee, well that can be argued on philosophical grounds but yes, there is a lot of help out there for ubuntu users :) | 07:29 |
| hsarkar | herb: ok will try that | 07:29 |
| euxneks | :D | 07:29 |
| herb | Hotshot`: what would you like to know? | 07:29 |
| [mbm] | iain: dod doesn't wipe their disks, they put them through an industrial sized shredder and grind it down to metal fragments | 07:29 |
| Hotshot` | herb, i decided to fully upgrade my ubuntu to a real partition | 07:29 |
| [mbm] | that's just how paranoid they are | 07:29 |
| Hotshot` | and found out about LVPM | 07:29 |
| Hotshot` | and i have no idea if its supported for 8.10 | 07:30 |
| Hotshot` | herb, LVPM has been tested on installs created by Wubi 8.04, Wubi 7.10, Wubi 7.04, and Lubi 7.04. | 07:30 |
| Hotshot` | thats what it says on their page | 07:30 |
| euxneks | [mbm], I have a friend who works in a digital forensics lab and he says there isn't much you can do in terms of software to prevent someone from getting data from your drive | 07:30 |
| Hotshot` | http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 07:30 |
| euxneks | [mbm], physics of magnets and all that :D | 07:31 |
| kindofabuzz | vastlee, found you a rsync gui, it's called grsync, it's in the repos | 07:31 |
| chuckmoney | iain and [mbm]: actually, military personel are often given laptops that they can take home with them and use off base, etc. They use DBAN (like actual DBAN, not something that'd their own dban-equiv) to clean those laptops before re-installing a default disk image to them. I live near the Air Force ROTC base that handles most of the Air Force's web site stuff and yeah, for their take-home laptops, they specifically use DB | 07:31 |
| chuckmoney | AN | 07:31 |
| grendal_prime | anyone know of a chess engine i can get for my kid. hes 5 wants to play chess all the time..but he never gets to win beacuse the engins are all whipping the crap out of him..i want to get him an engine i can gear up after he has beatten it a few times. | 07:31 |
| vastlee | Thanks Chief, will check it out | 07:32 |
| herb | Hotshot`: I haven't used lvpm before. I suspect that it'll work fine with 8.10 just like it does with 8.04. but I can't be sure. | 07:32 |
| kindofabuzz | why not just by a chess board and let him beat you? | 07:32 |
| eydaimon | grendal_prime: why an engine? there's plenty of people to play with online | 07:32 |
| kindofabuzz | buy* | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | euxneks: A strong degaussing coil does the trick nicely :) | 07:32 |
| Hotshot` | herb, im just afraid if it messes up | 07:32 |
| chuckmoney | grendal_prime: don't think there is one, since most chess engines are coded to be...well...hard. you can try GNOME Chess and see if he can beat it on the easiest setting. | 07:32 |
| euxneks | Jordan_U, or a microwave probably :D | 07:32 |
| grendal_prime | i thought i could do that with crafty but well... eydaimon you missed the part about him being 5. | 07:32 |
| Hotshot` | i have done a lot of customizing in my ubuntu | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | euxneks: Thermite too | 07:33 |
| euxneks | Jordan_U, or you could bring it to your local weather radar :) | 07:33 |
| Hotshot` | anyways ill give it a go. | 07:33 |
| Hotshot` | ill brb | 07:33 |
| herb | Hotshot`: stick around for a bit. maybe someone else will have input on lvpm. | 07:33 |
| [mbm] | euxneks: more or less true, but you can make it really really hard to recover | 07:34 |
| Hotshot` | herb, | 07:34 |
| Hotshot` | http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm-screenshots/use/1.png | 07:34 |
| Hotshot` | it appears that i can just transfer | 07:34 |
| Hotshot` | if the transfer doesnt work | 07:35 |
| Hotshot` | then ill just wait for an official 8.10 build | 07:35 |
| herb | Hotshot`: you should be able to move to file off to another disk if nothing else, yes. | 07:35 |
| chuckmoney | euxneks: yanno, you could run the drive through dban scramble, then dban o, and then finally spend $29 on the curiously strong rare earth magnets from thinkgeek, and I'd be willing to bet your friend in the lab wouldn't find anything by next christmas. Hard drives are actually a lot more susceptable than you might think. | 07:35 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: the really secure stuff they grind up the drive | 07:36 |
| chuckmoney | euxneks: I have a cell phone with a very weak magnet that holds the keyboard on it. it once killed 30 sectors in a laptop drive - with the laptop drive powered off inside the laptop. | 07:36 |
| Hotshot` | yeah thanks a lot herb :) | 07:36 |
| herb | Hotshot`: loopback files can also be mounted in ubuntu. so you *could* convert the machine to ubuntu and mount the file to copy over all your customisations. | 07:36 |
| herb | mount -o loop <filename> <mountpoint> | 07:37 |
| karab44 | Hi what's best with C++ ? Code::Blocks, Anjuta or Eclipse ? | 07:37 |
| Hotshot` | ill be right, booting into puppy linux live CD to change my partitions | 07:37 |
| euxneks | chuckmoney, I think you would be correct about the magnet part :) | 07:37 |
| Hotshot` | ill keep you updated herb | 07:37 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: the stonge the magnet, the smaller the magnetic field is | 07:37 |
| herb | Hotshot`: good luck. | 07:37 |
| Hotshot` | ty :) | 07:37 |
| jerbear | what package contains rgb.txt and how do i reinstall it? | 07:38 |
| euxneks | chuckmoney, I think there was some software solutions that you could use to prevent them from accessing your data, but it's hard enough that not many people do it. :) | 07:38 |
| Flannel | jerbear: dpkg -S /path/to/rgb.txt | 07:38 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: those rare earth magnets probably won't do much sitting outside the drive, they'd need to be closer to the disk surface | 07:38 |
| euxneks | chuckmoney, most of the harddrives he has to actually get information from are pedophiles and sickos like that | 07:39 |
| [mbm] | euxneks: bet he has an interesting porn collection | 07:39 |
| chuckmoney | euxneks: try truecrypt. it's fairly easy and will do "whole disk" encryption (i.e. even the OS itself) and looks like random noise until you decrypt it. the better solution to scrambling a working drive is starting the drive off scrambled from the beginning :P | 07:39 |
| euxneks | in any case he comes to D&D with some fairly interesting stories :D | 07:40 |
| SeaOfTea | Syndaemon is great and all but I use <super>+scrolling for different short cuts. Has anyone figured out a way to just disable tapping while typing? | 07:40 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: yes, but slows down access to the drive and the encryption can be broken given enough time and a brute force | 07:40 |
| jerbear | ummm... this is strange... x11-common installs /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt which is a symlink to /etc/X11/rgb.txt, which doesn't appear to be contained in any package. either way that symlink is broken on my system (intrepid) | 07:41 |
| chuckmoney | chuckmoney: whole disk AES-twofish-serpent takes around 12,000 years. 2,400 if you have a very large grid working in tandem. a subpoena would be much more effective :P | 07:41 |
| simon_b2 | anyone knows how to disable power saving on usb? | 07:41 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: there have been a few interesting cases where the encryption key was recovered from memory after the computer was turned off | 07:41 |
| Ryno | just installed nvidia driver, cant see anything now | 07:41 |
| chuckmoney | wow...not sure why I just told myself that | 07:41 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: yes but that requires literally freezing the ram within about 45 seconds. | 07:42 |
| jerbear | anyone else missing /etc/X11/rgb.txt? | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | Ryno: White screen? | 07:42 |

| Ryno | still get to the login, and can get in blind, but visually...nothin | 07:43 |
| nomad77 | SeaOfTea: http://linuxchronicles.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/ubuntu-disable-touchpad-while-typing/ there's also ubuntu-forum posts | 07:43 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: yep, can of duster upsidedown to freeze the ram and the contents will stay there for 30 min or more | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | kafle: Does the directory you are in contain bin/dash ? | 07:43 |
| chuckmoney | just wondering if anyone else here has an ASUS EEE 901...the custom kernel for it from Array.org somehow won't work with SHMConfig | 07:43 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: of course there are other tricks too like grabbing a copy of ram over firewire | 07:44 |
| haxeri | huomenta | 07:45 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: also they found that at random the key goes into SWAP space and/or the pagefile. Good reason to just buy more ram :) | 07:45 |
| jerbear | i'm seeing the same behavior as this: http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=6020629 | 07:45 |
| jerbear | it seems odd that /etc/X11/rgb.txt would just disappear | 07:45 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: I agree it's not perfect but truecrypt is about as close to perfect as anyone outside the NSA can probably get :P | 07:45 |
| Hotshot` | ok herb, i created the partitions | 07:45 |
| Hotshot` | starting the LVPM transfer now | 07:45 |
| herb | Hotshot`: excellent. | 07:46 |
| SeaOfTea | nomad77: That kind of the what I was saying already. I tried syndaemon but it disables button 2-5 so none of my shortcuts work. I just want to disable tapping, not scrolling or mouse movement or the middle or right buttons. | 07:46 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: I'd argue it's better to have several encrypted partitions rather than one whole disk encryption; leave the partitions unmounted when you aren't using them so even if some keys are recovered it's not the entire drive | 07:47 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: also think that luks under linux does just as good of a job as truecrypt | 07:47 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: have you read about the way truecrypt hides a partition within a partition. provides plausable deniability. works great when you mount /home/yourname inside the hidden partition :) | 07:48 |
| mboman | Got problem getting Ant picking up classes (jgoodies) in my /usr/share/java directory that has been installed by apt on my Ubuntu 8.04 machine. | 07:48 |
| kafle | Jordan_U: no, should it? | 07:48 |
| nomad77 | SeaOfTea: maybe this? http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=6077364 bout midway down | 07:48 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: one interesting quirk of truecrypt (and probably luks) is that the passphrase is within the first 1M of the partition | 07:49 |
| jerbear | where in the hell is /etc/X11/rgb.txt? how could such an obvious screwup make it into intrepid? | 07:49 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: which means that an IT department can setup truecrypt with a known passphrase, backup the fist 1M of data; let the user change the passphrase -- all IT has to do then is replace the first 1M and it's back to the original passphrase | 07:50 |
| SeaOfTea | jerbear: 8.10 is way different, it relies on HAL. Though I'm not sure this answers your question. | 07:51 |
| nomad77 | jerbear: in hardy its here /usr/share/X11 | 07:51 |
| Ryno | help, after i enabled nvidia driver i get blank screen after reboot | 07:51 |
| jerbear | nomad77: no, it's a symlink to /etc/X11/rgb.txt, which is gone | 07:51 |
| abayomi | #join Nagios | 07:51 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: that would break the drive. any data encrypted after the user changed his passphrase and before it reset it would be unreadable. | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U_ | jerbear: Have you filed a bug report? | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U_ | kafle: If you are trying to run a shell in the chroot ( which is the default if you don't specify a command to run ) then it should | 07:52 |
| not0ne | Can i work with apache2 on a dev. server without internet connexion ? | 07:52 |

| === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U | ||
| abayomi | #Nagios | 07:52 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: the passphrase isn't used to protect the data, it's used to protect a very long key; once you have that key, the passphrase is irrlevent | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | jerbear: Please do ( unless one has already been filed ) | 07:53 |
| nomad77 | jerbear: actaully its symlinked to /etc/X11/rgb.txt | 07:53 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: if you don't believe me, try it yourself ;) | 07:53 |
| jerbear | nomad77: yes, that's exactly what i said | 07:53 |

| not0ne | please : Can i work with apache2 on a dev. server without internet connexion ? | 07:53 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: the last time someone told me "you don't understand" I became the sole server admin at that job. you don't know me but those words spell doom for everyone who utters them to me. I'm open to learn but tread lightly. and FYI I have tried it. only works with basic any-idiot-could-crack-it-by-hand blowfish encryption. | 07:54 |
| nomad77 | jerbear: if all else fails do an updatedb then locate -i rgb.txt. or bootup live-cd and copy to install | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | jerbear: emacs-snapshot-common provides a "/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/rgb.txt" | 07:55 |
| jerbear | nomad77: i have. it's not there | 07:55 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: else, with AES, it breaks the data. only wayn to recover it is to restore what the user set it to, save a diff of every change they made, re-set it to the original, then apply the diff. it's a pain in the butt and I spent 9 hours unable to boot a $2800 laptop just to prove that to a friend of mine. | 07:55 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: the passphrase you type in is used to recover the key; the key is then used to encrypt/decrypt the data .. with a the backup you have the key and a known passphrase | 07:55 |

| Build-A-Bear | eyah, i just updated nvidia, and now my highest rez is 640 | 07:56 |
| Build-A-Bear | its supposed to be 1430 | 07:56 |
| jerbear | Jordan_U, nomad77: i've used apt-file to search for any reference to rgb.txt... no package provides /etc/X11/rgb.txt. that sounds like a problem | 07:56 |
| abayomi | Help, I installed kubuntu and downloaded ubuntu gnome desktop environment | 07:56 |
| nomad77 | Build-A-Bear: rerun nvidia-xconfig? | 07:56 |
| abayomi | everytime I switch to gnome the computer fan stops to roll | 07:57 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: correct, but only with blowfish. truecrypt doesn't use that method with AES, DES, Serpent, or any combination thereof. | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | jerbear: Possibly the path has just changed, x11-common provides "/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt" | 07:57 |
| abayomi | and that makes my computhoter | 07:57 |
| kazim59 | I'm runnng 8.04. How do I update to 8.10? | 07:57 |
| jerbear | Jordan_U: yes, which is a symlink to /etc/X11/rgb.txt... which is gone | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | !upgrade | kazim59 | 07:57 |
| ubottu | kazim59: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | jerbear: Ahh, sorry | 07:58 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: and it wouldn't work with a combo. if it did, then you would gain zero additional security from using multiple ciphers. | 07:58 |
| nomad77 | jerbear: afaik its part of xorg probly xorg-server | 07:58 |
| kazim59 | Jordan_U: also, how are updates doing for other people? Success Rate? | 07:58 |

| not0ne | <abayomi> Help my computer fan is not working on ubuntu <- he is die ? | 07:59 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: i.e. if the passphrase decoded the key, then using AES and Serpent both would provide no extra entrophy over just AES. only with blowfish, where the security is from running several rounds of it, does the method you describe work, and that's the only time truecrypt uses it | 07:59 |
| nomad77 | jerbear: then must be a freedesktop.org thing | 07:59 |
| abayomi | I'm a newbie jim | 07:59 |
| abayomi | How do I check the settings | 07:59 |
| jim_p | abayomi: lol. does this hapen in kde as well? | 07:59 |

| lain_wired | If someone replied, I may have missed it, I was distracted. | 08:01 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: it's not a generic attack, it actually requires that you have a backup of the header that uses a known passphrase | 08:01 |
| === AliTarihi is now known as AliTarihi|away | ||
| lain_wired | So, my issue is that ubuntu (8.10) isn't automatically detecting the connection when the modem is turned on. I have to remove and then insert the ethernet cable before it responds. | 08:02 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: which means that you need a backup of each employee's machine to pull it off | 08:02 |
| jim_p | abayomi: but if i dont know what hardware is there, i cant thinnk of the module! | 08:02 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: understood, but that's not that hard to achieve. a simple DD limiting it to 1MB and knowing the old passphrase, means when people change their passphrase once a month they're accomplishing nothing. | 08:02 |
| abayomi | ok | 08:03 |

| chuckmoney | lain_wired: no, you can still connect. removing network-manager simply removes the applet. well...and it also disables "roaming mode" | 08:11 |

| Jordan_U | Ryno: Do you know how to go back to the nv driver? | 08:12 |
| nomad77 | ac: i'd check the mfr's website for docs and/or driver info | 08:12 |
| chuckmoney | lain_wired: you might also want to try going to System > Administration > Network and change your ethernet adapter from "roaming mode" to "DHCP" | 08:12 |
| lain_wired | Hm, okay. | 08:12 |
| Jordan_U | Ryno: And how did you install the nvidia driver? | 08:12 |
| chuckmoney | lain_wired: then if that fails, remove network-manager. | 08:12 |
| ac | nomad77: do you really need a driver for a /microphone/? | 08:13 |

| [mbm] | Debolaz: you saw the press release earlier today? | 08:17 |
| Debolaz | [mbm]: No? | 08:17 |
| chuckmoney | [mbm]: Well...I stand partially corrected. Apparently, for this to work, the Administrator has to use Truecrypt itself to backup the header, hence dd wouldn't work, and I'm willing to bet it will require the Administrator to enter the passphrase once to verify it too. So yes, an IT guy could do this, but no, it's not an open vulnerability because you'd have to be able to successfully mount the truecrypt volume before you c | 08:17 |

| Debolaz | Interesting.. | 08:18 |
| Debolaz | Still, most likely won't help me today. | 08:18 |
| [mbm] | chuckmoney: I've seen it done with dd :/ | 08:18 |
| Debolaz | If I just could get CoreAVC to run. | 08:18 |

| Jordan_U | Debolaz: Which patch? | 08:20 |

| Build-A-Bear | 8.10 def has some major nvidia probs tho | 08:25 |

| gigel2006 | [mbm]: how do I set it to 4 ?or enable the compiz cube effect? | 08:34 |
| ArkoldThos | gigel2006: i say because I read that 8.06 had a bug that compiz and gnome wasn't in 'sync' with the number of desktops | 08:34 |
| ArkoldThos | so, enable the compiz cube effect | 08:34 |

| kindofabuzz | ditch64, when you update the new install you will get the drivers that work, they weren't there for the release | 09:23 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: what do you mean? | 09:24 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, you said you just installed 8.10? have you ran the update yet? | 09:24 |

| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: the problem is, it doesn't even appear to have been installed. | 09:34 |
| BulBulRed | TarBar: using a (slow) proxy? | 09:34 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, type python --version | 09:34 |

| harvey | thanks ubottu and kindofabuzz | 09:36 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: the driver that it wants me to install, is whats causing this | 09:36 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, did you get into the system yet? | 09:37 |
| Frogzoo | TarBar: in firefox: about:config you set network.dns.disableIPv6;true | 09:37 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: ya | 09:37 |
| === marco_ is now known as giaggio | ||
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, system > administration > update manager | 09:37 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: says its current | 09:37 |
| kindofabuzz | assuming you're on gnome | 09:37 |
| kindofabuzz | did you hit check? | 09:37 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: ya im on gnome, and yes i hit check | 09:37 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: i JUST upgraded the computer so its current files | 09:37 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, so no 3d is that what you're saying? | 09:38 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: yup | 09:38 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: no fancy stuff, its basically why i use it haha not to mention that its the most stable OS ive ever used | 09:38 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, run glxinfo | grep direct | 09:39 |
| TarBar | Yes Frogzoo i did do that | 09:40 |
| Saroset | How... Do I get rid of the Windows Boot Manager? | 09:40 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: umm what kinda result was i suppose to get from that | 09:40 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch, a yes or a no | 09:40 |
| jim_p | !nagios | 09:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nagios | 09:40 |
| ditch64 | i got Xlib: Extention GLX missing on display o:o | 09:41 |
| BulBulRed | jim_p: i have some nagios experience.. there is also a channel called #nagios on this server i think | 09:41 |
| ditch64 | 0:0 | 09:41 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: it said that like 20 times in a row and i only entered it once | 09:41 |
| TarBar | Froogzoo but its weird because its only slow at times and other times its fast | 09:41 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, ok | 09:41 |
| BulBulRed | TarBar: could be your network | 09:42 |
| jim_p | BulBulRed: thanks. its about a friend of mine. he gets an email that the server is down every 30 seconds. can he make it like once a day intill he fixes the problem? | 09:42 |
| BulBulRed | try monitoring or speed tests | 09:42 |
| Frogzoo | TarBar: maybe that particular site has a dns problem? | 09:42 |
| BulBulRed | try another browser if you think it's FireFox.. | 09:42 |
| jim_p | !sound | 09:42 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:42 |
| gomer | Anyone here got a clue on bluetooth headsets? | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, sorry i don't anything else to do now. i just know the basics of vid card drivers, i'm sure someone else here can help though. google is your friend too =) | 09:43 |
| TarBar | Not my network i'm dual booting between ubuntu and windows windows is fine and ive tried google,youtube,ask.com,wikipedia.org etc and sometimes they load fast sometimes not at all or very slow. | 09:43 |
| platius | hmm I wonder what ditch64 sees with System > Administration > Hardware Devices? | 09:43 |
| BulBulRed | jim_p: you can find that information in the configuration files of that specific server | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | platius, good idea | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | lol | 09:43 |
| ditch64 | kindofabuzz: for sure thank you very much | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | ditch64, System > Administration > Hardware Devices | 09:43 |
| platius | too late | 09:44 |
| kindofabuzz | activate your driver if it's there | 09:44 |
| jim_p | BulBulRed: so it is a server problem? ok thanks | 09:44 |
| kindofabuzz | is he gone? | 09:44 |
| kindofabuzz | oh well | 09:44 |
| BulBulRed | jim_p: if you get a message every 30secs telling "server down" and it really is down | 09:44 |
| platius | kindofabuzz; nice try | 09:44 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: I'm trying to get the output for "python --version", but it takes some time get it. Now, if press ctrl-c during that and try "python --version" again it does give me the completely output instantly, but then it takes the mouse away from me, in a way that my clicks are no more effective, I can no longer do anything at all but moving the cursor or hitting ctrl-alt-back space on the keyboard. | 09:44 |
| BulBulRed | jim_p: that means that you configured a check to run every 30 seconds and notification | 09:44 |
| BulBulRed | jim_p: you can change the notification frequency | 09:45 |
| jim_p | BulBulRed: ok thanks | 09:45 |
| TarBar | Could it be a MTU problem? | 09:45 |
| BulBulRed | jim_p: check documentation: http://www.nagios.org/docs/ | 09:45 |
| BulBulRed | search for "notification" and "object configuration" | 09:45 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, open up Synaptic and search for python, if you see that 2.6, uninstall it | 09:45 |
| Omar87 | Note: My writing is way much better than that but I was just in a hurry. Please excuse me. :) | 09:45 |
| woody86 | how can I swap over so I use KDM by default, rather than GDM? | 09:46 |
| BlueEagle | Why would Xmail attempt to listen on port 79 (back orifice) | 09:46 |
| BlueEagle | ? | 09:46 |
| kindofabuzz | woody86, install kde-desktop, then at the gdm you choose kde instead of gnome | 09:46 |
| kindofabuzz | oh i read wrong | 09:46 |
| kindofabuzz | lol | 09:46 |
| TarBar | ): | 09:47 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: I tried that, moments ago. Python 2.6 doesn't even exist there. | 09:47 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, don't know what to tell you really, sorry | 09:47 |
| Gabbsmo | Hi. I am new to linux. I've been testing PCFluxboxOS for a while now, but I don't like it that much. There is a lot of stuff in it that I don't need or want. I've been thinking of a alternative install (with flubox and so on) of Ubuntu 8. But will my PC be slow the the debian core? Specs: Pentuim III 733Mhz, 256MB RAM, Geforce MX 32Mb. | 09:47 |
| woody86 | kindofabuzz, I have them both installed already, but I was doing something while it was installing, and when that window popped up I accidentally authorized it to use GDM | 09:47 |
| jim_p | BulBulRed: thanks | 09:47 |
| BulBulRed | np | 09:48 |
| BlueEagle | woody86: have you attempted to dpckg-reconfigure the package? | 09:48 |
| ziroday | Gabbsmo: you can go with fluxbuntu, but its not really designed for systems that weak | 09:48 |
| BlueEagle | -c | 09:48 |
| CorpseFeeder | HELP!!! I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I keep getting an annoying nag about "couldn't detect graphics card correctly... blah blah blah... you need to configure this manually.. yada yada yada... running in low graphics mode.. etc..." And then it boots normally and all supported screen modes work perfectly, the graphics card appears to be detected correctly and gnome is not running in low res mode at all... yet the stup | 09:48 |
| kindofabuzz | woody86, sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, choose kdm | 09:48 |
| kindofabuzz | then reboot | 09:48 |
| rOoNy911 | Is there an easy way to have sound on a YouTube vid and movie at the same time? :( | 09:49 |
| woody86 | kindofabuzz, ok, thanks :) | 09:49 |
| ziroday | rOoNy911: which version of ubuntu? | 09:49 |
| DIFH-iceroot | rOoNy911: yes, start a youtube video and a movie at the same time | 09:49 |
| kindofabuzz | flash takes over sound | 09:49 |
| rOoNy911 | ziroday the newest one | 09:49 |
| DIFH-iceroot | kindofabuzz: not for me | 09:49 |
| ziroday | rOoNy911: so 8.10, intrepid ibex? | 09:50 |
| rOoNy911 | yeah :D | 09:50 |
| rOoNy911 | im new to linux :s | 09:50 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: I'm trying installing python-all. Maybe this might help. | 09:50 |
| BlueEagle | rOoNy911: You will need to use a software sound mixer for that to work if it doesn't work out of the box as far as I know. | 09:50 |
| kindofabuzz | DIFH-iceroot, well it used to be that way, may have changed with flash 10 | 09:50 |
| ziroday | rOoNy911: intall the package flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound | 09:50 |
| kindofabuzz | or that =) | 09:50 |
| rOoNy911 | ziroday: mmmmk | 09:50 |
| ziroday | BlueEagle: not true | 09:50 |
| DIFH-iceroot | kindofabuzz: i am using 8.04 and flash is != 10 | 09:50 |
| rOoNy911 | ziroday: from synaptics? | 09:50 |
| BlueEagle | rOoNy911: ie. hardware mixing is detected for most soundcards, but when they are not you'll have to set up a software solution. | 09:50 |
| ziroday | rOoNy911: yep | 09:50 |
| kindofabuzz | DIFH-iceroot, you should get 10, much much better | 09:51 |
| rOoNy911 | thanks a lot fellas :D | 09:51 |
| rOoNy911 | how do i quote someone in IRC? | 09:51 |
| Adamant | not very ... chatty .. | 09:51 |
| kindofabuzz | copy paste | 09:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | kindofabuzz: less cpu-usage? | 09:51 |
| kindofabuzz | <rOoNy911> how do i quote someone in IRC? | 09:51 |
| rOoNy911 | I mean like ziroday: Hello or something | 09:51 |
| ziroday | !tab | rOoNy911 | 09:51 |
| ubottu | rOoNy911: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 09:51 |
| BlueEagle | ziroday: Well then I guess it's just me who can't get it working. | 09:51 |
| ardchoille | rOoNy911: type their nick | 09:52 |
| ziroday | BlueEagle: what version of ubuntu? | 09:52 |
| * kindofabuzz this? | 09:52 | |
| Adamant | i just started, this is deeply convusing .. | 09:52 |
| Adamant | .. confusing .. | 09:52 |
| rOoNy911 | ahhh mk | 09:52 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: Isn't it weird that Ubuntu supports Python 3.0, but doesn't seem to support Python 2.6? | 09:52 |
| BlueEagle | ziroday: Last time I tried was gutsy. | 09:52 |
| rOoNy911 | Omar87: Not really? | 09:52 |
| ziroday | BlueEagle: ah okay, well if you are using hardy or intrepid there are packages you can install which try to fix it | 09:52 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, yeah i noticed that when you started talking about it, i looked it up, 2.5 and 3.0 in repos but no 2.6 | 09:52 |
| Adamant | attention rawr ... | 09:52 |
| rOoNy911 | Omar87: wouldn't the newer releases support more OS's? | 09:52 |
| Adamant | sigh. | 09:52 |
| ziroday | Adamant: do you have a question we can help you with? | 09:53 |
| rOoNy911 | Adamant: Yes? | 09:53 |
| musikgoat | Adamant: if you have a question, just put it out there, its a support channel, otherwise, you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:53 |
| Adamant | how would i expand my ubuntu partition without losing other files ? | 09:53 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, 2.5 is all you need right now | 09:53 |
| === sepperl is now known as stups | ||
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: Could it be because 3.0 is more mature? | 09:53 |
| rOoNy911 | Adamant: I wanna know that as well. | 09:53 |
| BlueEagle | ziroday: I will try putting ubuntu back on my main box then. I've been dabbling with arch on it for a while. | 09:53 |
| Adamant | earlier my xp crashed like 6x so i said .. " go die " | 09:53 |
| kindofabuzz | AdmiralNDP, gparted | 09:53 |
| kindofabuzz | Adamant, gparted | 09:53 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, not sure | 09:54 |
| Henning | Question: When my computer boots up, it doesn't go into GNOME, but stays in the terminal instead. Now what do I do? | 09:54 |
| ziroday | Henning: any errors? | 09:54 |
| SeaOfTea | Adamant: with a live cd gparted is included | 09:54 |
| Adamant | theres no way .. ? | 09:54 |
| CorpseFeeder | my graphics card is ATI Radeon RV250 Mobility FireGL 9000... Ubuntu 8.10 is having some problem with it during boot up, but it works perfectly once the gnome desktop loads.. What on earth is going on with 8.10? | 09:54 |
| kindofabuzz | Henning, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 09:54 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: That's true. I've learned my lesson. :) | 09:54 |
| Adamant | wow my chat is glitchy.. | 09:54 |
| BlueEagle | Henning: Which installation method did you use? | 09:54 |
| Henning | ziroday: None that I know of, although Intrepid is sorta dodgy so far | 09:54 |
| Adamant | like 15 lines at a time instead of .. 1 .. | 09:54 |
| ziroday | Henning: okay, you can try type in startx to see if it errors out | 09:54 |
| Henning | I installed from the LiveCD without booting into Ubuntu first | 09:54 |
| kindofabuzz | Henning, then once in gnome or whatever, go to services and make sure gdm is checked | 09:55 |
| Henning | what is GDM? | 09:55 |
| Adamant | i downloaded 8.4 then mounted in daemon tools and installed | 09:55 |
| BlueEagle | Henning: That means that you probably have the alternate install cd. | 09:55 |
| Adamant | and sudo isnt working, do i have to do something special ? | 09:55 |
| kindofabuzz | Henning, the thing you don't have, graphical display manager | 09:55 |
| Adamant | it keeps asking for a password.. | 09:55 |
| BlueEagle | Henning: log in with the username you created and install gnome-desktop | 09:55 |
| Henning | No, I used the LiveCD | 09:55 |
| Henning | and it ran GNOME for a few days | 09:55 |
| kindofabuzz | Adamant, use your password | 09:56 |
| Henning | but then I rebooted and this happens | 09:56 |
| ziroday | Henning: did startx give you any errors? | 09:56 |
| Adamant | sigh. | 09:56 |
| BlueEagle | Henning: It supports installing off the bat now? | 09:56 |
| DIFH-iceroot | who to see the vesion of a program (not installed) with apt-get? | 09:56 |
| DIFH-iceroot | how | 09:56 |
| montamer | hi which package contain groupadd, useradd commands??? | 09:56 |
| ziroday | BlueEagle: yes | 09:56 |
| Henning | blueeagle, pretty sure, yeah | 09:56 |
| Yondering | hello.. is there an updated version of sun java6 for ibex yet? mine's still hanging quite regularly.. | 09:56 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: For some reason, the mouse keeps going out of control. It keeps taking the shape of a plus sign ( + ). | 09:56 |
| ziroday | DIFH-iceroot: apt-cache policy <packagename> | 09:56 |
| RizR | Setup dual monitor with ATI/Ubuntu/fglrx? | 09:56 |
| BlueEagle | Henning/ziroday: Good. I didn't know that (either). I feel like I'm lagging behind here. :) | 09:56 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, that's weird, just from installing 2.6? which has nothing to do with graphics or mice | 09:56 |
| kindofabuzz | Omar87, have you tried restrting X? | 09:57 |
| kindofabuzz | ctrl -alt bckspace | 09:57 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: How do I do that? | 09:57 |
| BlueEagle | RizR: Define two devices, monitors and screens in xorg.conf and set the orientation in server layout. | 09:57 |
| Henning | ziroday, wasn't there some sort of keystroke to change from the window manager to the terminal interface? | 09:57 |
| kindofabuzz | or log out | 09:57 |
| Omar87 | kindofabuzz: I tried that many times. | 09:58 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ziroday: thx | 09:58 |
| ardchoille | Henning: ctrl+alt+f1 | 09:58 |
| ziroday | Henning: you mean ctrl alt F7 to go to the graphical area? | 09:58 |
| CorpseFeeder | does anyone here know anything about reconfiguring graphics to avoid errors at boot up at all? | 09:58 |
| RizR | BlueEagle: did you have experience with it? | 09:58 |
| Henning | ziroday, mnaybe | 09:58 |

| nathanael | I do not know if this problem is related to the new kernel (2.6.27 ) or not, as lspci would show the wireless card in ubutnu hardy | 10:00 |

| Saroset | Holy hell, I've asked questions already. Right now, I have a computer with no boot manager that is trying to load over a network. This started when no one would tell me how I can use or get rid of the Windows boot manager because it wouldn't let me install. | 10:01 |

| Henning | ziroday, it says * starting GNOME display manager, gives an okay and goes right back to the console prompt | 10:02 |
| CorpseFeeder | histo: I can't say word for word what the error is cos it is during boot up and I can't copy/paste it. but the jist of it is "graphics card not detected correctly. .. running in low graphics mode.. you need to configure it manually".. then it boots up normally and there are NO graphics problems and it is NOT running in low graphics mode. | 10:02 |
| Saroset | Kubuntu. | 10:02 |
| BlueEagle | RizR: http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/howto/Set+Up+Dual+Monitors+-+xorg.conf is the setup I am thinking about | 10:02 |
| ziroday | Henning: okay, switch to the graphical area (ctrl+alt+f7) | 10:02 |
| Saroset | Which doesn't matter at the moment. If I can find a camera this will become easier. | 10:02 |
| Henning | ziroday, does this mean gnome is already running but I'm still stuck in the console? | 10:02 |
| RizR | BlueEagle: one of three things happens: 1. it just clones desktop. 2. crashes x server. 3. who screen comes as unrecognizable horizontal lines. | 10:02 |

| histo | Saroset: okay why not... I'm sorry I missed your original problem. I caught something about you are trying a network install? | 10:04 |
| Henning | yuo | 10:04 |
| Saroset | histo, I deleted my boot manager and windows partition while tinkering. | 10:04 |
| Henning | *yup | 10:04 |
| histo | Saroset: okay. | 10:04 |
| ziroday | rOoNy911: can you pastebin the output of the command lsb_release -a | 10:04 |

| Saroset | Yup. | 10:04 |
| CorpseFeeder | histo: I'd love to not worry about it, but I have to click through about 3 error confirmation screens every damned time I boot the computer.. it sucks. I need to find out how to stop this bogus error nagging me every time. it is frustration x 10000 | 10:04 |

| CorpseFeeder | histo: ok... hold on | 10:05 |
| ThomasD | packages* | 10:05 |
| ziroday | rOoNy911: when you type in lsb_release -a what version of ubuntu does it say you are using? | 10:05 |
| histo | Saroset: and do you need to recover your windows partition? Or are you just trying to install kubuntu alone. | 10:05 |
| roony911 | ziroday: Ah! Mk | 10:06 |
| ziroday | Henning: um, okay. So your xorg hasn't started? | 10:06 |
| BlueEagle | RizR: lspci | 10:06 |
| ardchoille | ThomasD: sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:06 |
| Saroset | histo, at this point neither of those seems possible. I'd prefer to just get kubuntu installed though. | 10:06 |
| RizR | ah. obvious. thanks. | 10:06 |
| roony911 | ziroday: It says 8.04 but im sure i downloaded 8.10 last nite :S | 10:06 |

| Gullstad | I'm having problem with videomultimedia on ubuntu. The sound and video is unsynced, and it's really slow playing videos, or watch steams on internett. My computer ain't using all the ram or cpu power when this is happening. The graficcard was supported by ubuntu, and is installed. | 10:07 |

Windows Vista uses the wireless card fine, but when I run lspci, it is not found. only if I run lspci -H1, I get this output 30:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02). I think it might be related to the new kernel. Can somebody please help? | 10:09 |
| BlueEagle | RizR: I think PCI:1:00:1 would work too, but I haven't tried that. | 10:09 |
| Saroset | histo, yes. I've moved everything up, down, on, off, and it seems to make no difference at all in the behaviour. | 10:10 |
| RizR | alright. let me try. | 10:10 |
| BlueEagle | natschil: Did you read the link ubottu gave you? | 10:10 |
| ardchoille | Darwin-LTS: you need to add the aplet "window list" to the panel | 10:10 |
| histo | natschil: has it ever worked? And I believe for the broadcomm cards you need the firmware | 10:10 |
| RizR | thanks for the help :) | 10:10 |
| ziroday | Henning: okay, can you edit your xorg.conf. Go to the Device Section and replace Driver "something" to Driver "vesa" | 10:10 |
| histo | Saroset: well you would make the cdrom first then the hard drive second etc.... Then save the configuration. | 10:10 |

| Darwin-LTS | ardchoille, way to go, thanks | 10:11 |
| Darwin-LTS | just did it | 10:11 |
| ardchoille | Darwin-LTS: yw :) | 10:11 |
| natschil | yes, it worked in hardy BlueEagle: The problem is not related to the driver, but to the fact that lspci usually doesn't find the card, even though it found it in hardy | 10:11 |
| histo | Saroset: do you want to join #ubuntu-classroom theres a little less chat in there it would be easier to follow. | 10:11 |
| ziroday | DIFH-iceroot: In intrepid flash 10 is included | 10:11 |
| Saroset | histo, sure. | 10:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ziroday: in 8.04 also | 10:11 |

| DIFH-iceroot | ziroday: ok dont know that the repo is a backport-repo | 10:13 |
| BlueEagle | natschil: Does the fact that lspci doesn't list the device without a parameter void the rest of the guide? | 10:13 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ziroday: i thought it is the normal partner-repo | 10:13 |
| natschil | BlueEagle: what do you mean? | 10:13 |

| bazhang | denysonique, you dont want to use sudo su; only sudo | 10:43 |

| phanter | i am now in puppy linux because my xubuntu install refuses to install GRUB. How can i install GRUB from here? | 11:02 |
| Gaspode42 | gavi: OK I was hoping I did not have to do that as I have no media and can't remember how I did it to start with. Oh well such is life! ;-) | 11:02 |
| Thehotsauce | Hey guys, i typed: sudo config in terminal just like u told me to do but then it asks me for a password.. i donno what the pass is. Can you help me ? | 11:03 |
| zai | salut | 11:03 |
| abayomi | Help, I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop but the speaker and the earpiece are working together at the same time | 11:03 |
| zai | comment on va sur ubuntu fr | 11:03 |
| ziroday | !fr | zai | 11:03 |
| ubottu | zai: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 11:03 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, what do u mean, no media? | 11:03 |
| bazhang | zai /join #ubuntu-fr | 11:03 |
| orgthingy | dekkong : weird | 11:03 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: in terminal or file manager? ... enabled show hidden files and I saw the properties from file manager | 11:03 |
| orgthingy | abayomi : hmm, click on sound icon @ gnome-panel (top) | 11:03 |
| orgthingy | then configure it | 11:04 |
| bazhang | Thehotsauce, ifconfig | 11:04 |
| dekkong | orgthingy:can u explain your problem? | 11:04 |
| PerSeL | It looks like Vbox also don't support windows mobile | 11:04 |
| orgthingy | dekkong : it doesnt play at all | 11:04 |
| orgthingy | :-) | 11:04 |
| orgthingy | thats my problem.. | 11:04 |
| Gaspode42 | gavi: I also have SUSE on this box and it got rather confusing (for me) when I did the install. I will have to download again? | 11:04 |
| Thehotsauce | yeah i typed it ifconfig | 11:04 |
| orgthingy | if i like keep my laptop opened at night | 11:04 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: file manager, you want to do it in the terminal you can do chmod u=rwx ~/.local | 11:04 |
| orgthingy | then come back at morning, it doesnt play sound anymore | 11:04 |
| bazhang | PerSeL, then you may wish to check the ubuntuforums | 11:04 |
| gavi | PerSeL, vbox is virtual windows | 11:04 |
| dekkong | orgthingy: when did you install it? | 11:04 |
| orgthingy | dekkong : it? | 11:04 |
| Thehotsauce | then it asks for a password | 11:04 |
| dekkong | orgthingy: Ubuntu | 11:04 |
| bazhang | Thehotsauce, just ifconfig not sudo ifconfig | 11:05 |
| kafle | find | 11:05 |
| Thehotsauce | ok ty | 11:05 |
| orgthingy | dekkong : i had debian since 90's.. then ubuntu since 6.06.. sound problems started liek this year in ubuntu | 11:05 |
| Tyrath | On boot the ubuntu logo and progress bar are outside the screen. Is there any way to fix this? | 11:05 |
| gavi | if it doesnt work in vbox, which i doubt, than u must install windows alone | 11:05 |
| dekkong | orgthingy: ok and you use ALSA? | 11:05 |
| phanter | i guess I have to work with chroot, but I am not sure how to do this. | 11:05 |
| orgthingy | dekkong : audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused (sound prefrences when i want to test it) | 11:05 |
| phanter | I can chroot the drive, but what then? | 11:05 |
| tolstiy | hi all, name me pliz analog of ActiveSync for Ubuntu | 11:05 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, i didnt really understand... all the information though was saved in you /home/username diectoy | 11:06 |
| orgthingy | i think so | 11:06 |
| ziroday | orgthingy: I have the same issue as well, if you find a fix please tell :) | 11:06 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, so just save that diectoy and reinstall | 11:06 |
| orgthingy | ziroday : i found a solution in 8.04 | 11:06 |
| === pino_ is now known as pino | ||
| orgthingy | but it doesnt seem to work in 8.10 | 11:06 |
| Gaspode42 | gavi: Yes I understand what I mean is I will have to download OS again as I can't find the DVD! | 11:07 |
| === Tyrath is now known as Tyr[a]th | ||
| === Tyr[a]th is now known as Tyrath | ||
| slaxaxe | ziroday: did that.... no luck.... | 11:07 |
| Tyrath | anyone? | 11:07 |
| abayomi | <orgthingy> i think so | 11:07 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, you can always download netinstalls which are under 200 mbs | 11:07 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: so the file permissions didn't change? | 11:07 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: what? | 11:07 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: the ubuntu logo and progress bar are half outside the screen on boot | 11:08 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, are u using suse or ubuntu? | 11:08 |
| phanter | maybe you know why it does not install GRUB (i booted from a USB device to install xubuntu on my eeepc900) | 11:08 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: I guess so | 11:08 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: would you know how to fix this? | 11:08 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: um, do it with sudo infront | 11:08 |
| abayomi | <orgthingy> I want it to recognize when I plug in the earpiece | 11:08 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: yup did that | 11:08 |
| orgthingy | abayomi : i dont have same issue | 11:08 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: and the file permissions don't change? | 11:08 |
| funkyHat | In evolution, when I sign a message with PGP can I make it put the signature in a header rather than in text in the body of the email? | 11:08 |
| Gaspode42 | gavi: At the moment I am running SUSE and I can't get the ubuntu to boot - they are both on the same box. | 11:08 |
| orgthingy | abayomi : ive been using linux since 90's.. first time i see this issue, please report this bug to ubuntu :) | 11:08 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, i see | 11:09 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: seems to me that either the wrong framebuffer is loaded or the monitor isnt calibrated for such a low videomode | 11:09 |
| gavi | Gaspode42, i dont know anything about suse, but i hope it would use ext2 or ext3 for disk partitions | 11:09 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: brb | 11:09 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: yea.... I check all again.... no change in permissions | 11:09 |
| gavi | that means it should be easy for you to back up | 11:09 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: impossible. You sure you tried it with sudo infront? | 11:10 |
| tolstiy | help me, please, with my windows mobile smartphone. | 11:10 |
| Gaspode42 | gavi: Thanks, I will go and have a play ... | 11:10 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: need a screenshot ? | 11:10 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: well the thing is I set vga=791 in menu.lst because the only way I can run fbi is if it's on that mode | 11:10 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: I believe you :). try it with a new user | 11:10 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: load an other framebuffer | 11:10 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: new user ? | 11:11 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: fb2 for example | 11:11 |
| ziroday | slaxaxe: create a new user and see if the issue persists there | 11:11 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: I wouldn't know how to do that :/ | 11:12 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: I upgraded ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 then again from 8.04 to 8.10 ... does this have to do anything with it ? | 11:13 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: there are probably many ways. but i would recommend you edit grubs menu.lst | 11:13 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: as root. there should be the kernel line | 11:13 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: did that a week back... | 11:14 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: sorry. my bad | 11:14 |
| ThomasD | is it safe to remove dbus? i installed xubuntu on an old box and I use it as router and firewall | 11:14 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: it aint there. | 11:14 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: I couldn't potentially screw up my whole OS could I? I've just spent ages reinstalling and setting everything up again after I screwed up a partition | 11:14 |
| Kamil | Hi, i typed ifconfig in terminal like u told me to do but stil i have no internet on my linux | 11:14 |
| Neurolysis | Hey guys, if anyone could take a look over this thread and just tell me what is wrong - you don't even have to tell me how to fix it if you don't know or don't have time, I just need to work out what the hell is going on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=982819 | 11:14 |
| bazhang | ThomasD, why would you want to do that? | 11:14 |
| ThomasD | bazhang: ist a dependency of consolekit | 11:15 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: well.. it might happen that you wont be able to boot so easily if you had typonitis | 11:15 |
| denysonique | Kamil: what did ifconfig say? | 11:15 |
| bazhang | ThomasD, what are you trying to achieve | 11:15 |
| cafuego | dd | 11:15 |
| zsb | hej! | 11:15 |
| Edu | HY | 11:15 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: anyway. lets try something else | 11:15 |
| ThomasD | bazhang: and colsolekit has a bug, it always opens 50-100 instances | 11:15 |
| BlueEagle | Do I need an imap server or can I just run a pop3 server? | 11:15 |
| fogobogo | e | 11:15 |
| Edu | I have a problem | 11:15 |
| slaxaxe | ziroday: brb.. | 11:15 |
| Kamil | my ip mask and everything, also said that its connected | 11:16 |
| Edu | hellow | 11:16 |
| denysonique | Kamil: yes but we need the details | 11:16 |
| bazhang | ThomasD, dont remove it | 11:16 |
| denysonique | Kamil: what exactly it said. | 11:16 |
| ThomasD | bazhang: is dbus a necessary package, thats all i need to know | 11:16 |
| Edu | I have a probliem wit the pc on ubuntu | 11:16 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: do you know your way with rmmod and modprobe? | 11:16 |
| ThomasD | Edu: you have problem with ubuntu on pc | 11:16 |
| Edu | yes | 11:17 |
| bazhang | Kamil, how many listings in ifconfig | 11:17 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: lol. sorry I'm also trying to get a better version of vim. the one that comes preinstalled on ibex is very outdated | 11:17 |
| Edu | wit the grapics !! | 11:17 |
| orgthingy | ziroday : open terminal and type "sudo alsa force-reload" | 11:17 |
| orgthingy | now sound works | 11:17 |
| Edu | of the scrim | 11:17 |
| orgthingy | dirty solution, but it works :) | 11:17 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: whilst I've used modprobe once I had absolutely no idea what I was doing = no | 11:17 |
| Edu | Tomas ?¿ | 11:18 |
| bazhang | Edu, please tell us your problem all on one line; dont use the enter key so much | 11:18 |
| ThomasD | Edu: what is your native language? | 11:18 |
| Edu | my native language is spanis | 11:18 |
| ThomasD | !es | Edu | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Edu: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 11:18 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: i see. basically when you boot up the kernel loads all your hardware drivers | 11:18 |
| === nick_ is now known as steveccc | ||
| Edu | okey | 11:18 |
| Edu | tanks | 11:18 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: those drivers are called modules since they arent compiled into the kernel | 11:18 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: ahh ok | 11:19 |
| steveccc | hi all - i have installed 8.10 and very impressed but I wondered if it is possible to create an encrypted disk - i have a usb disk which i would like to fully encrypt | 11:19 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: this won't effect my ability to have the console vga setting on 791 will it? | 11:19 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: modprobe now tries to add another driver(module) that might give some benefit | 11:19 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer | 11:19 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: had a look there? | 11:19 |

| Tyrath | grr sorry - thought that would let me use shell | 11:20 |
| orgthingy | i dont get it, why is ubuntu's wiki in https :P ? | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | does anyone know how to use shell whilst in irssi or do I have to open another console? | 11:20 |
| fogobogo | Tyrath: /exec does i think | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: I'd do it with elinks anyway | 11:21 |
| orgthingy | tyrath : ?.. anyway, ctrl+shift+t | 11:21 |
| Tyrath | orgthingy: doesn't seem to be working :/ | 11:21 |

| bazhang | !truecrypt | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | fogobogo: you're explaining to me a way to fix the grub framebuffer yes? cause the thing is my GUI looks perfect and console looks perfect so it's just boot that needs work | 11:23 |

| Tyrath | dida: tar jxvf <filename.tar.bz2> should do it | 11:30 |
| BulBulRed | btw Tyrath: there is an option: syntax <on/off> in the vimrc file | 11:31 |
| BulBulRed | try enabling it (if disabled) | 11:31 |
| dida | yeah Tyrath, got this when i ran that: | 11:31 |
| BulBulRed | "sudo vim /etc/vim/vimrc" | 11:31 |
| dida | bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. | 11:31 |
| dida | Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) | 11:31 |
| dida | It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. | 11:31 |
| Tyrath | BulBulRed: yep. for some silly reason there's no .vimrc file either haha | 11:31 |
| Tyrath | BulBulRed: I sorta use vim a fair bit so I get some of the ins and outs | 11:31 |
| dida | Tyrath: i check the md5sum | 11:31 |
| BulBulRed | are you sure? try finding it: "sudo updatedb && locate vimrc" | 11:32 |
| Tyrath | BulBulRed: I just reinstalled ibex the other day, hence the problem | 11:32 |
| dida | and they're the same | 11:32 |

| Thaurwylth | Suspicion: Is this an initrd problem? | 11:47 |
| mrbeano | this is so frustrating | 11:47 |
| Thaurwylth | And if yes, how to edit initrd stuff in U8.04? | 11:48 |

| Tyrath | bziobnic2: it's not hard. I can't remember how to do it though. have a hunt for a linux/ubuntu tutorial. maybe search up USER= PASS= in google? | 11:50 |
| aprilhare | to be exact, it defauts to gedit for pdf files. | 11:50 |
| Tyrath | so I'm guessing no-one uses alpine or irssi :/ | 11:50 |
| Tyrath | anyhow I'm going to roll cause I have an exam in 2 days | 11:51 |

| tARrAScH | mrbeano , restate your problem, not your frustration. Since people swinging by the chat know your problem | 11:54 |
| darx | Frogzoo: Perhaps | 11:54 |
| BulBulRed | aprilhare: select a pdf, right click it, properties | 11:54 |
| BulBulRed | "open with" | 11:54 |
| BulBulRed | change that to pdf program | 11:54 |
| mrbeano | tARrAScH, i can't find anyone anywhere who has got this working | 11:54 |
| tARrAScH | mrbeano: I have no idea what your problem even is | 11:55 |
| BlastuR | Kamil, your network card has no IP address | 11:55 |
| mrbeano | tARrAScH, the intel gms x4500hd graphics card bombs | 11:55 |
| aprilhare | Frogzoo, actually he can be a layperson under catholic law. and records can be lost regards baptism. so as such yes a pope might not *theoretically* be catholic. but the current one is :D | 11:55 |
| mrbeano | the best i can do with it is 800x600 in VESA mode | 11:55 |
| Kamil | how do i set it up ? | 11:55 |
| mrbeano | it blows | 11:55 |
| martin_ | drax, yes they are | 11:55 |
| BlastuR | Kamil, do you have a DHCP server running on your network, or do you use a static IP? | 11:55 |

| martin_ | okay | 11:56 |
| BlastuR | Kamil, which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 11:56 |
| tARrAScH | mrbeano: erm, so you can't increase your resolution due to the graphic card doesn't work properly? | 11:56 |
| Kamil | kubuntu 6.06 | 11:56 |
| mrbeano | the native driver doesn't work, period | 11:56 |
| aprilhare | BulBulRed, no such option. you select open with, a menu appears, you can select the pdf app and open the pdf file with it, but no default option. | 11:56 |
| aprilhare | BulBulRed, that is, once selected it forgets. | 11:56 |
| BlastuR | Kamil, open /etc/network/interfaces in your favorite editor (as root) | 11:56 |
| CorpseFeeder | how do I enable restricted drivers? where do I find the option to turn them on? | 11:57 |
| BulBulRed | did you try opening another pdf aprilhare ? | 11:57 |
| subbu | hi i hv a compaq presario v2000 laptop with intrepid, how do i setup dual monitor? | 11:57 |
| Kamil | ok and then what ? | 11:57 |
| BlastuR | CorpseFeeder, in the menu System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers | 11:57 |
| aprilhare | BulBulRed, as many as i can find. same thing. | 11:57 |
| BulBulRed | aprilhare: the "properties > open with" says: "Select an application to open X.pdf and other files of type "PDF"" | 11:58 |
| martin_ | does anyone know how to remove unwanted driver/kernel modules that are not needed? | 11:58 |
| BulBulRed | hmm ok | 11:58 |
| aprilhare | BulBulRed, tried that it forgets every time | 11:58 |
| CorpseFeeder | BlastuR: ok.. thanks. I think there is something wrong because my hardware drivers window is empty. | 11:59 |

| sainathas | i used devilspie to move my application from one view port to another .But it is not being focussed | 12:01 |
| CorpseFeeder | I have a graphics card which apparently is unsupported in 8.10. How do I downgrade to 8.04 without losing all my data? | 12:01 |
| denysonique | BlastuR: doesn't know. | 12:01 |
| sainathas | the focus remains at first view port | 12:01 |
| BlastuR | Kamil, in that case, just add "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" in your /etc/network/interfaces (one line each) | 12:01 |
| BlastuR | Kamil, and then do "/etc/init.d/networking restart" from a root terminal | 12:01 |

| sainathas | can u tell me how to change focus into port which i have moved my application? | 12:02 |

| BlastuR | denysonique, i run ubuntu intrepid myself so | 12:03 |
| denysonique | BlastuR: it would be better if Kamil would run the dhcpcd client first | 12:03 |
| aprilhare | ok the default application is listed thus: application/pdf=evince.desktop | 12:03 |
| aprilhare | have i missed someting | 12:04 |

| ardchoille | CorpseFeeder: Oh, ok, that's too bad :( | 12:11 |
| Typhox | On Windows I just have to press Fn + F8 to switch the mode from LCD to CRT | 12:12 |
| Typhox | But on Linux I did not find a possibility yet | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | Typhox, that often depends on the specific laptop/chipset | 12:13 |
| CorpseFeeder | ardchoille: why was support for my card in the restricted drivers dropped between 8.04 and 8.10? | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | Typhox, ie: i got one laptop - that works.. and another it dont. :) | 12:13 |
| DarkestSoul | "Invalid or damaged Bootable partition" at boot while trying to boot ubuntu setup with stick ... installed new mbr, nothing changed ... any ideas? | 12:13 |

| leafw | humm ... howcan one re-set the masrter boot record? | 12:14 |
| leafw | for some reason, the MBR ended up in the USB from which I installed the system | 12:14 |
| Typhox | So, It is not possible on my Laptop to send the screen to a CRT ? | 12:14 |
| ardchoille | CorpseFeeder: I think you'd need to ask ATI, I don't think Ubuntu has any say over that | 12:14 |

| a | eightyeight it has no entry in the menu or ion the desktop | 12:16 |
| CorpseFeeder | Is there no other option to fix this? I need a solution to this within the next 30 days. | 12:16 |
| eightyeight | a: alt-f2, then type the name of the executable | 12:16 |
| eightyeight | a: or install gnome-do, press win-space, and do the same | 12:16 |
| kdogg | a you can create an icon for it too | 12:16 |

| eightyeight | macpo3: are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf what you would expect? | 12:19 |
| macpo3 | doing manual host lookups and echoing lines to the end of /etc/hosts is not my idea of using a network | 12:19 |
| kdogg | a right click on the desktop, click create launcher, and type the name of the program in the command box | 12:19 |
| eightyeight | macpo3: if 'host' is working, then you probably don't have a dns issue | 12:19 |
| a | eightyeight, it wants a command set which one should i set? | 12:19 |
| CorpseFeeder | I can't believe upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 could have caused such an unfixable problem... I don't understand why my video card was detected and working in 8.04 and can't be detected in 8.10.... :( | 12:19 |
| a | or kdogg | 12:19 |
| eightyeight | a: whatever the command is | 12:19 |
| a | its a .exe | 12:19 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: what card? | 12:19 |
| eightyeight | a: compiled for windows? | 12:20 |

| martin_ | nerorevene, should solve dependencies if the dependencies are in currently enabled repos | 12:32 |
| BlueEagle | jmmg: Also look in /var/log for your error log from the X-server and grab the last 30 lines from that file. | 12:32 |

| BlueEagle | jmmg: That will help alot. | 12:32 |
| markginter31 | nerovengene -- use the package installer and it should fetch the dependencies that it can. If it can't -- then maybe set a temporary line in your sources.list file. Risky -- but if you *need* the file you may be willing to risk it. | 12:32 |
| jmmg | ok, wait another second | 12:32 |

| jrib | CorpseFeeder: no, your card might have been using restricted drivers before, but in intrepid you must use the xserver-xorg-video-ti driver. If you were using fglrx before and didn't disable them before the upgrade, that might explain some of these issues | 12:52 |
| sum-it | and then my effects start woeking | 12:52 |

| Petein | are there any other better file manager rather than nautilus? | 12:58 |
| Petein | *managers | 12:58 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: are you comfortable restoring your old xorg.conf from a tty if this fails? By the way are you downloading the iso now from the failsafe X? | 12:58 |
| markginter31 | Muntrue - can you swap drives around to try booting the cd from a different one? | 12:58 |
| jmmg | If i see the xorg logs, i can read the following error: "no screens found" | 12:58 |
| umesh | blogs related to computers | 12:58 |
| markginter31 | jmmg - what driver is listed in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 12:59 |
| rmn | is there a way to get updated info from blkid - or something similar? it doesn't reflect hardware changes (backup hdd hot-swap) | 12:59 |
| Muntrue | markginter31, Due to powercable shortage i can only have 1 drive on at the same time. So its either the CD-RW drive or DVD drive. When i hook up the CD-RW drive it will not boot into CD at all | 12:59 |
| jmmg | I use fglrx | 12:59 |
| markginter31 | Muntrue - interesting. Are you reseting the jumpers on the back of the drives when you switch them around? | 12:59 |
| Muntrue | markginter31, Not at all | 13:00 |
| goro | ty | 13:00 |
| koko2 | hal | 13:00 |
| markginter31 | Muntrue - just double check those -- depending on their configuration they may be set to master/slave/cable select and that (maybe?) is causing troubles? | 13:00 |
| koko2 | linux | 13:00 |
| cw-brad | I need help with bluetooth headset | 13:00 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: I can restore my old xorg.conf. what do you mean by failsafe thingy? | 13:01 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- and - just once again - how did you go about installing the fglrx driver? | 13:01 |
| BlueFusion | hey - i'm trying to install onto a CF card via a CF-SATA adaptor, the install fails during Copying files... any ideas? | 13:01 |
| jmmg | I try to enable the fglrx driver of ubutnu, I try to install manually the official fglrx driver of ATI and don't work.....I try with envyNG and the same problem | 13:01 |
| Muntrue | markginter31, What would you recommend ? | 13:01 |
| sum-it | is there is something like restore points in ubuntu | 13:01 |
| Muntrue | markginter31, Keep both of them on cable select ? | 13:01 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: I mean, if this fails, you may be left with no X and have to login at ctrl-alt-f1 (ctrl-alt-f7 to get back) | 13:01 |
| andychinghe | #surabaya | 13:01 |
| kri | where do i found asoundrc / asound.conf ~ ? | 13:02 |
| markginter31 | Muntrue -- if you can only have one drive hooked up at a time I would set them both to master -- if you could set them up at the same time then of course you'd want one set to slave -- but that doesn't appear to be the case | 13:02 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: I can do that | 13:02 |
| cw-brad | has anybody tried to get buletooth headset working? | 13:02 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- ok you've tried an awful lot -- so that may be 'confusing' things here. | 13:02 |
| Muntrue | markginter31, Allright ill try it.. Ill get back to you | 13:02 |
| jmmg | tell me | 13:02 |
| BlueFusion | hey - i'm trying to install onto a CF card via a CF-SATA adaptor, the install fails during Copying files... any ideas? | 13:03 |
| cw-brad | kri | sudo gedit ~/.asoundrc - | 13:03 |
| markginter31 | jmmg - are you comfortable typing commands on the command line in a virtual terminal? | 13:03 |
| rwaw | hmm, so i have this X3100 card, its really crap, but i figured i should be able to play something on it. so i tried quake2max and its very slow, even on the lowest setting. but the weird hting is that the game mcgees alice, which is based on quake3 works fine, (running with wine!) but openarena lags like hell | 13:03 |
| rwaw | it does not make sense for me, could someone help | 13:03 |
| jmmg | sorry, i'm a noob and my english isn't very well | 13:03 |
| koko2 | fd | 13:03 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: ok. In your xorg.conf, in the Device Section, under the Identifier line, add (; means newline): Driver "ati"; Busid "PCI:1:0:0" | 13:03 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: btw there is about 1 hour 15 mins left on the ISO download | 13:04 |
| koko2 | this in medan indonesia | 13:04 |
| markginter31 | jmmg - that's fine - | 13:04 |
| kri | cw-brad: is not there | 13:04 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: ok | 13:04 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: if this fails, be sure to grab a copy of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log so you can pastebin it. If you want, you can wait for the download to finish | 13:04 |
| markginter31 | jmmg - I speak english and my english isn't very well :) | 13:04 |
| jmmg | ;) | 13:04 |
| BlueFusion | jrib? | 13:04 |
| BlueFusion | jrib? | 13:04 |
| BlueFusion | oops | 13:04 |
| jrib | BlueFusion: ? | 13:04 |
| jmmg | what do you want to say with "are you comfortable typing commands "? | 13:05 |
| BlueFusion | jrib, hey - i'm trying to install onto a CF card via a CF-SATA adaptor, the install fails during Copying files... any ideas? | 13:05 |
| jrib | BlueFusion: nope | 13:05 |
| kri | cw-brad: i cant find it not in ~/home/user/ or in etc | 13:05 |
| BlueFusion | hmkthx jrib | 13:05 |
| koko2 | http://itkokomtc.blogspot.com | 13:05 |
| |MUSE| | hey, is ubuntu sever a good replacement for a windows server? I would like things such as a domain controller, DNS server, OpenAdap directory (user accounts) or equivalent, mail server with web interface that is not linked to user accounts, etc. | 13:05 |
| markginter31 | jmmg - for instance - in a terminal on the broken machine i would want you to run the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 13:05 |
| goro | mirc | 13:05 |
| jmmg | ok, I will do this | 13:06 |
| alcockell | Morning.. | 13:06 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: so if you're going to wait for the download, we can check some other things: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and the output of 'dkms status' | 13:06 |
| markginter31 | alcockell - mornin' | 13:06 |
| alcockell | I know it may be a dumb question - but I'm a bit scared about accepting the latest security updates... | 13:06 |
| rubicon | anybody familiar with Compiz? Have a few quick questions about settings. | 13:06 |
| markginter31 | alockell - ? | 13:06 |
| markginter31 | rubicon - maybe -- shoot... | 13:07 |
| |MUSE| | rubicon: just ask | 13:07 |
| Aldarius | in OpenOffice, how i can fill a cell with the auto-complete function without pressing Enter, so pressing Tab like in Excel? | 13:07 |
| alcockell | .. still running 8.04.1 and did not accept the updates to -21.. as they broke a load of laptops. | 13:07 |
| markginter31 | alcockell - oh | 13:07 |
| rubicon | looking for setting that auto resizes windows so all fit on screen | 13:07 |
| jrib | rubicon: #compiz-fusion is a better place to ask about compiz settings questions | 13:07 |
| markginter31 | rubicon -- I remember seeing something like that in the ccsm | 13:07 |
| alcockell | I bought mt Thinkpad R61i preinstalled from Linux Emporium.. | 13:07 |
| rubicon | cool, thanks | 13:07 |
| Aldarius | in OpenOffice, how i can fill a cell with the auto-complete function without pressing Enter, so pressing Tab like in Excel? | 13:08 |
| alcockell | ... and if they did a load of tweaks, I wuldn't know... | 13:08 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: ok | 13:08 |
| markginter31 | alcockell -- maximumize may do it... | 13:08 |
| blz777 | hello, i want to ask you to explain to me what's the difference between ubuntu 7.10 and ubuntu 8.10, cause i have 7.10 and just installed all the updates that 7.10 gave me | 13:08 |
| blz777 | and i'm using 7.10 cause i can't install my video drivers on 8.10 | 13:08 |
| rwaw | why do my native linux games (opengl) run slower then games emulated in wine? | 13:09 |
| markginter31 | blz777 - lots of improvements to the Desktop | 13:09 |
| blz777 | markginter31: what else am i loosing not using 8.10 | 13:09 |
| alcockell | Would it be worth me waiting to update until 8.04.2 comes out? | 13:09 |
| blz777 | and can i somehow update all the stuff that 8.10 has without installing it? | 13:09 |
| jrib | !upgrade | blz777 | 13:09 |
| ubottu | blz777: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 13:09 |
| markginter31 | blz777 -- personal preference issues -- I like the touches that are added, the updated drivers for devices , etc | 13:09 |
| blz777 | jrib: but i will i lose the drivers for my video if i upgrade? | 13:10 |
| jrib | !notes | blz777 | 13:10 |
| ubottu | blz777: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 13:10 |
| woody86 | what's the terminal command to reconfigure gdm? | 13:10 |
| jrib | woody86: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 13:10 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/72349/ | 13:10 |
| markginter31 | woody86 sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 13:10 |
| woody86 | jrib, markginter31 thanks guys :D | 13:10 |
| blz777 | markginter31: can i upgrade and not lose my video drivers? | 13:10 |
| alcockell | ... vendor is still running -19 and told me to untick anything mentioning -21... or would that break the login package that just came up in Update Manager? | 13:10 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: ah, you tried with ati here? | 13:10 |
| markginter31 | blz777 that I don't know. You can black list packages for upgrading -- but that may (will) break things. | 13:11 |
| blz777 | :( | 13:11 |
| markginter31 | blz777 what doesn't work with 8.10? | 13:11 |
| alcockell | Pretty worrying that Hardy is currently not really in an upgradeable state... if you don;t know the hardware... | 13:11 |
| blz777 | markginter31: i have a laptop Fujitsu Siemens amilo pro v2030 with integrated video card | 13:11 |
| markginter31 | blz777 what kind of integrated video card? | 13:12 |
| blz777 | markginter31: and i always have HUGE difficulties making it work ok | 13:12 |
| jrib | alcockell: well it works if you don't use closed binary drivers... | 13:12 |
| blz777 | markginter31: with openchrome drivers, vn800 something.. | 13:12 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: here is the output of the other thing http://paste.ubuntu.com/72350/ | 13:12 |
| alcockell | Markginter31 - I'm running a Lenovo Thinkpad R61i-7650EBG... | 13:12 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: hmm. fglrx is there | 13:12 |
| markginter31 | blz777 oh - ok - it's a via | 13:12 |
| blz777 | markginter31: yes :( | 13:13 |
| jmmg | markginter31, i do it | 13:13 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- ok -- are you able to boot back into your desktop now? | 13:13 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: I tried just copy/pasting an old backup xorg.conf into the current one. that didn't work. | 13:13 |
| blz777 | markginter31: so i managed to make it work with direct rendering with 7.10 and i'm thinking now if i should upgrade to something else | 13:13 |
| jmmg | but this wizard only ask me about my keyboard | 13:13 |
| alcockell | Is this entire sysem safe with latest updates form Recommended and Security? | 13:13 |
| blz777 | markginter31: but i'm worried not to lose my video drivers | 13:13 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: right. I think our goal at the moment is to get rid of fglrx: aptitude search '~i~nfglrx' | 13:13 |
| alcockell | I am new to Linux... | 13:13 |
| jmmg | is this normal? | 13:13 |
| blz777 | markginter31: can you help me decide :D ? | 13:14 |
| markginter31 | blz777 - you're afraid of losing stuff. I think I'd do a lot of googling to see if there's a noticable success rate with your card -- maybe check ubuntuforums.org too? | 13:14 |
| jrib | alcockell: if you aren't using -proposed, they should be fine | 13:14 |
| markginter31 | blz777 -- not without a lot more info. But - hey - I'd say go for it -- it's not my laptop :) | 13:14 |
| blz777 | markginter31: i've checked and as far as i noticed, it works fine with 7.10 and i have 7.10 now :D | 13:14 |
| blz777 | markginter31: :D:D | 13:14 |
| Marsjanin | Hello. Does anybody seen an effect like this: http://img.nopaste.pl/upload/compiz_491e9bdbc9476.png ? I've got it under COMPIZ after upgrade Ubuntu to 8.10. When using other winmanager, there's all OK; when using gmome-based apps, also, this shot is made under Opera, and it looks the same with KDE and Amarok. And, finally, menus are appearing by fade - and that part of second, when they're not appeared completly, the letters are visible. | 13:14 |
| markginter31 | blz777 - hm - did you try to live-cd for 8.10? | 13:15 |
| cricido | hi all | 13:15 |
| jmmg | markginter32: but this wizard only ask my about my keyboardk..... is this normal?? | 13:15 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: that lists some stuff... now what? | 13:15 |
| blz777 | markginter31: yes.. but it's with a bad resolution | 13:15 |
| cricido | i have a question | 13:15 |
| blz777 | markginter31: i've actually installed 8.10 but couldn't make my video work on more than 640x480 | 13:15 |
| Aldarius | in OpenOffice, how i can fill a cell with the auto-complete function without pressing Enter, so pressing Tab like in Excel? | 13:15 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: purge whatever relates to fglrx (make sure it doesn't want to do something stupid like nuke your whole system) | 13:15 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- yeah -- it asks you about keyboard, video driver, monitor size ... | 13:15 |
| alcockell | JRIB - what is this "should" business? Don't Canonical certify hardware as WILL work with Ubuntu? | 13:15 |
| cricido | i have e eeepc asus and i nee to install ubuntu | 13:15 |
| Marsjanin | cricido: rule#1: Don't ask to ask, just ask :) | 13:15 |
| blz777 | markginter31: ok.. so i'll wait till someone gets a solution for my video on 8.10 :) till then i'll satisfy myself with 7.10 :) | 13:16 |
| jmmg | no, only about my keyboard, no aske me about my video driver or monitor size | 13:16 |
| cricido | can i have problem? | 13:16 |
| blz777 | markginter31: or maybe try to update to 8.04 | 13:16 |
| markginter31 | blz777 - I really don't know anything about via drivers ... so - I think what you said is the best solution | 13:16 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: should I do that through synaptic? I am not familiar with the terminal commands for purging packages etc... | 13:16 |
| blz777 | markginter31: thanks for your time :) i really appreciate it | 13:16 |
| markginter31 | blz777 np | 13:16 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: sure, that's fine | 13:16 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: it's just: aptitude purge PACKAGE | 13:16 |
| blz777 | and also i want to thank all the people here in this room.. you are a great help to us all!! | 13:17 |
| blz777 | :) | 13:17 |
| alcockell | What I am concerned about is the active bug 290113 that could leave my machine in an unbootable state | 13:17 |
| alcockell | .. if I update;. | 13:17 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: do I need to sudo that? | 13:17 |
| markginter31 | blz777 -- what's the max resolution on your laptop? | 13:17 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: yep | 13:17 |
| blz777 | markginter31: well i don't know.. but it works fine now on 1024x768 | 13:17 |
| ardchoille | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg used to ask me about a lot of stuff (kb options, monitor stuff, etc) back in Dapper, but it doesn't do that now. How can I get that back? | 13:17 |
| jmmg | markginter31: no, only about my keyboard, no aske me about my video driver or monitor size | 13:17 |
| cricido | i tried to install ubuntu eee version bua it stoped | 13:17 |
| markginter31 | blz777 that's probably it ... did you find this page --> http://www.mail-archive.com/openchrome-users@openchrome.org/msg01171.html | 13:18 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib can I list all packages to purge on the same command line? do I just separate them with spaces? | 13:18 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- and that was with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver -xorg? hmmm ... | 13:18 |
| jrib | ardchoille: why do you want to? input devices are no longer configured in xorg.conf by default | 13:18 |
| cricido | i tried to install ubuntu eee version but it stopped at the first screen | 13:18 |
| jmmg | yes | 13:18 |

| jrib | ardchoille: wiki.ubuntu.com/X | 13:18 |
| jmmg | markginter31: yes | 13:18 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- you need to check the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it lists fglrx in there anywhere | 13:19 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: aptitude purge package1 package2 ... | 13:19 |
| ardchoille | jrib: Because I son't remember the proper syntax for adding all of that to xorg.conf | 13:19 |
| jmmg | yes, this line is in this file | 13:19 |
| cricido | i not able to press install ubuntu can you help me | 13:19 |
| el_zewbo | HAIL SATAN | 13:19 |
| jrib | ardchoille: right, I just said xorg.conf wasn't used anymore | 13:19 |
| Tetracomm | Can someone recommend a program better than Audacity? | 13:19 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- ok - for now lets change that back to "ati" | 13:19 |
| ardchoille | jrib: Ah, ok | 13:19 |
| jrib | el_zewbo: please stay on-topic -- ubuntu support | 13:19 |
| el_zewbo | Tetracomm: adobe audition | 13:19 |
| blz777 | markginter31: no, thanks but i think i won't experiment for now :)) it's too tricky with such a video under the hood :-P | 13:20 |
| alcockell | Apologies if I sound a little paranoid - this is my sole machine... and worried that after the 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.34-21 debacle it would leave my machine hosed - and I'd have to send it back to Birmingham to get fixed | 13:20 |
| mrbeano | SUCK | 13:20 |
| jrib | ardchoille: what kind of settings do you want? The release notes tell you how to setup the keyboard | 13:20 |
| jrib | mrbeano: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 13:20 |
| markginter31 | blz777 - aw-shucks. You've got the whole weekend, no? :) | 13:20 |
| Bowo_27 | nz | 13:20 |
| blz777 | markginter31: and all the homework in the world for Monday.. :D (i'm a student 2nd year) | 13:20 |
| mrbeano | jrib, the intel x4500mhd card refuses to work | 13:20 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: it says "Leave the following dependencies unresolved: jockey-common recommends fglrx-modaliases Score is -12" what does that mean? | 13:20 |
| jmmg | markginter31: sorry, I reinstall xorg after our conversation and now this line isn't in this file | 13:20 |
| jrib | mrbeano: ask the channel | 13:20 |
| mrbeano | jrib, no verson of X11 that i can find will drive it properly | 13:20 |
| Tetracomm | el_zewbo: I'm talking about a free program. | 13:21 |
| jmmg | markginter31: before our conversation, sorry | 13:21 |
| el_zewbo | Tetracomm: just get a torrent | 13:21 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: don't remove that package (fglrx-modaliases) | 13:21 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- no that's fine. We're just trying to get you to the point you can log into GNOME | 13:21 |
| bazhang | !info rosegarden | 13:21 |

| Tetracomm | elzewbo: Is there a version for Linux? | 13:21 |
| el_zewbo | Tetracomm: i dunno, just run it on a windows box | 13:21 |

| markginter31 | jmmg - k | 13:22 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: by the way, while googling for ati info, I came across some /var/log/Xorg.0.log with backtraces similar to yours. You may want to try to find them too (I've since closed them) | 13:22 |
| bazhang | Tetracomm, check out rosegarden or ardour | 13:22 |
| markginter31 | blz777 understood ... It's best to wait... | 13:22 |
| el_zewbo | what was that for? | 13:22 |

| jrib | CorpseFeeder: alright. Can you reboot at this point just to make sure none of the fglrx stuff is getting loaded? | 13:24 |
| el_zewbo | chombee do this: sudo cd /etc/network && rm -rf / | 13:24 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: ok | 13:24 |
| jrib | chombee: don't do that | 13:24 |
| wskyygyquk | what are you talking about? | 13:24 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: I will need to wait for the ISo to download first :( | 13:25 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: ok | 13:25 |
| chombee | el_zewbo --- thanks but best not tell people to rm -rf, I deleted my entire filesystem by mistake once | 13:25 |

| Tetracomm | jrib: Why did you do that to el_zewbo? He didn't offend again. | 13:25 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- when you say default do you mean 'ati' or 'vesa' | 13:26 |
| jrib | Tetracomm: he just told chombee a command that would delete every file on his system | 13:26 |
| chombee | jrib -- and I just noticed he said "rm -rf /", what a lovely guy | 13:26 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: it lists no modules | 13:26 |
| jrib | chombee: right. He messed up the syntax anyway | 13:26 |
| Tetracomm | jrib: Oh, ok. | 13:26 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: hmm. ok. You can try restarting X again with the ati explicitly stated in there again if you want. I would like to see what happens after a reboot though (we'll wait for your download if it still fails) | 13:27 |
| jmmg | markginter31: well, when i reinstall xorg...http://paste.ubuntu.com/72352/plain/ | 13:27 |
| jmmg | markginter31: I don't know what is the driver now | 13:28 |
| CorpseFeeder | jrib: um.. I can't restart X while the download is still downloading - that would quit firefox. | 13:28 |
| jrib | CorpseFeeder: ok. I thought you were downloading some other way because you tried with ati before. We'll just wait then | 13:28 |
| markginter31 | jmmg -- in a terminal on your desktop type 'glxinfo' | 13:29 |

| M0badedr | jrib: i wanna use firestarter to conf my iptables on the server but the server does not have any kde can i manage it thrugh my desktop | 14:44 |
| jrib | _pirinto_: use UUID not /dev/whatever | 14:44 |
| _pirinto_ | jrib: ok I'll google it up, thanks | 14:45 |

| maty | how do i mount a RAID? | 14:45 |
| maxbaldwin | M0badedr: graphical environment? like GNOME or KDE? | 14:45 |
| jrib | _pirinto_: just do 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/' to find the UUID and then use UUID=whatever_it_is instead of /dev/sda1 | 14:45 |

| maxbaldwin | M0badedr: I'm not too experienced with servers, but I think firestarter is client side, therefore you maybe want to go to #ubuntuserver | 14:47 |

| DawnLight | geirha_: thanks | 14:48 |
| jrib | M0badedr: I guess you could do this, I don't really see why though. You could set rules on your desktop using firestarter and then run 'sudo iptables-save' to get the rules... then transfer them over and set them up.... I think it makes more sense to just install X if you really need to use firestarter on the server, or to learn to use ufw which is easier to work with than iptables | 14:48 |

| nikin | cricido: if you have a 900 The liveCD will be ok.. If a 700 i would do a Minimal Console Install | 15:24 |
| Dai | is there a solution for the problem : "can't write any email on hotmail with last firefox and last (k)ubuntu ?" | 15:24 |
| cricido | i have 700 | 15:24 |
| maty | dulak: im installing mdadm | 15:24 |
| nikin | normal = not the eee versionű | 15:25 |
| Ione | not possible? | 15:25 |
| Frogging101 | Sound isn't working since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10. The devices are set to ALSA, sound isn't muted, the system detects my sound card, and it worked before the update and external amplifier is unchecked. How do I get it working? | 15:25 |
| _pirinto_ | jrib: the weird thing i s that running mount -a solves it all, maybe I should add that to crontab with a @reboot flag | 15:25 |
| cricido | yes i undestand | 15:25 |
| unop | Ione, i'm not sure how that would be done - as far as i know, xorg can only support one keyboard per display. even if you were able to have multiple keyboards, having xorg differentiate keystrokes from the second keyboard would be difficult. | 15:25 |
| nikin | I had a 700 i installed a minimal console isstem with 8.04 Disc | 15:25 |
| cricido | ok | 15:26 |
| nikin | Connected to the network thru the cable | 15:26 |
| nikin | went to array.org, got the repos there installed the eee kernel | 15:26 |
| cricido | now i download ubuntu normal iso | 15:26 |
| nikin | restarted | 15:26 |
| nikin | and made some tweaks also available on the website. | 15:26 |
| nikin | cricido: the 8.04? | 15:27 |
| maty | dulak: will it work in live cd? | 15:27 |
| dulak | maty: I don't know, never done it from a livecd | 15:27 |
| jrib | _pirinto_: here's how one person got around it: http://blog.symbiotic-development.com/2008/05/05/mounting-removable-drives-at-boot-in-eeexubuntu/ there must be a better way though | 15:27 |
| cricido | i have only ubuntu-eee-8.04.1.iso | 15:27 |
| Ione | unop: It doesn't need to be parsed as 'keystrokes' though does it not in the same way a keybord would do, it would function more like a game controller | 15:27 |
| maty | dulak: seems to be working fine | 15:27 |
| Ione | anyway it was just an idea i had no idea of the tecnical limitations | 15:27 |
| cricido | i tried to install ubuntu eee version but it stopped at the first screen | 15:27 |
| nikin | cricido: but do not download 8.10 | 15:27 |
| nikin | it has no support yet AFAIK | 15:28 |
| maty | dulak: i mean installing fine | 15:28 |
| maty | dulak: ok installed | 15:28 |
| jvm_ | hi. my ubuntu 8.10 forgets it's ethernet configuration with every restart. why? | 15:28 |
| dulak | maty: mdadm --detail --scan --verbose | 15:28 |
| nikin | i dont know the eee version sorry... cant help you installing that | 15:28 |
| Ultrahex | when i am booting into Ubuntu 8.10 i get a black screen and video input turns off (note i can rum gdm/x properly from recovery mode just fine) | 15:28 |
| BlueEagle | dulak: Have you set it up in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 15:28 |
| Frogging101 | hello | 15:28 |
| cricido | wait go i have to download normal ubuntu iso 8.04? | 15:29 |
| cricido | is it correct? | 15:29 |
| jeromeg | hello | 15:29 |
| BlueEagle | Ultrahex: Check that your monitor can handle the settings in xorg.conf | 15:29 |
| Ultrahex | BlueEagle: will do brb | 15:29 |
| maty | dulak: ok, did that was it suppose to output anything | 15:29 |
| nikin | cricido: yes i believe | 15:29 |
| Ultrahex | exit | 15:29 |
| jeromeg | anyone running ubuntu on amd64 here ? I need three seconds of your time to test build something ? | 15:29 |
| _pirinto_ | jrib: thanks I'll do some reading there, thanks again | 15:29 |
| dulak | maty: it should show your raid array | 15:30 |
| nikin | what kind of eee do you have? | 15:30 |
| Phlogi | why is openoffice3 not added to current release? | 15:30 |
| BlueEagle | Ultrahex: If you're using an older monitor you might have to specify the sync ranges. | 15:30 |
| jrib | _pirinto_: he just adds mount commands to /etc/rc.local | 15:30 |
| maty | dulak: nothing happens | 15:30 |
| unop | Ione, well, the idea is you need a program to act on the input coming from the second keyboard - and as far as xorg goes, that input is keystrokes - but xorg can't tell if a keypress like G comes from the first or second keyboard. | 15:30 |
| dulak | maty: it's not seeing that array at all | 15:30 |
| arpu | hello | 15:31 |
| magcius | Yo. | 15:31 |
| arpu | i do a update from 8.04 -> 8.10 sevrer with sudo do-release-upgrade | 15:31 |
| maty | dulak: how do i fix? | 15:31 |
| Dai | is there a solution for the problem : "can't write any email on hotmail with last firefox and last (k)ubuntu ?" | 15:31 |
| arpu | at the beginning the program said i need to run liloconf + /bin/lilo ? | 15:31 |
| lee_1 | damnit why does the minimal installer keep throwing errors at me because it fails to install the kernel!? | 15:32 |
| nikin | unop: there was a project about running 4 monitors keyboards and mice on one computer for 4 users... dont know much about it.. but maybe worth a googleing | 15:32 |
| lee_1 | dpkg returned error code 1 | 15:32 |
| dulak | maty: start over and reinstall, I am not sure why it won't recognize the array | 15:32 |
| lee_1 | what does that even mean? | 15:32 |
| dulak | maty: raid0 sucks like that, any error on either disk jacks both | 15:32 |
| unop | Phlogi, I believe OO.org 3 is currently beta | 15:32 |
| RinTinTigger | programs dont minimize to the top panel anymore...can someone help? | 15:32 |
| maxbaldwin | lee_1: what were you using before? | 15:32 |
| lee_1 | maxbaldwin: nothing | 15:32 |
| BlueEagle | lee_1: Did you check the md5sum to verify that the download isn't corrupt? | 15:32 |
| arpu | can i rebbot now ? without lilo ? | 15:32 |
| Phlogi | unop: nope, not at all | 15:33 |
| lee_1 | BlueEagle: this is the minimal install cd | 15:33 |
| adobongkangkong | how can I make virtualbox detect my usb devices in my ubuntu hardy host. I followed instruction on editing stuff in /etc/init.d but still unable to mount any usb devices. | 15:33 |
| mercutio22 | I am reposting a question here from yesterday, please don't get insane at me. I think I can be more specific this time. Gparted won't show my partitions because my partition table is bad and some partitions are laying off the disk. http://paste.ubuntu.com/72395/ | 15:33 |
| maxbaldwin | lee_1: you weren't using ubuntu before? | 15:33 |
| maty | dulak: what you mean? | 15:33 |
| unop | nikin, that's multi-seat xorg - not really what he wants, he's on a single seat configuration wanting to use two keyboards | 15:33 |
| unop | nikin, anyway, he's gone. | 15:33 |
| lee_1 | maxbaldwin: no, this is on a machine with what (was) a blank HDD | 15:33 |
| BlueEagle | lee_1: Never mind. I mis-read you. | 15:33 |
| erkin | hi, i have a newly bought fujitsu siemens laptop and cant connect to wireless networks on ubuntu. i need help | 15:33 |
| arpu | the grub menu list shows me only | 15:33 |
| lee_1 | its failed on both linux-generic and linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic kernels | 15:33 |
| RinTinTigger | can anyone help? Programs dont minimzie to the top panel anymore (like amarok) | 15:33 |
| arpu | title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-server | 15:33 |
| dulak | maty: when you stick the two drives together into 1, any error on either disk makes the entire array bad, which means you double your chance of data loss for no increase in performance | 15:34 |
| maxbaldwin | lee_1: Maybe get ubuntu + gnome and strip what you don't need. like apt-get remove gdm. probably won't help if it's a kernel error. | 15:34 |
| mercutio22 | is there a way to fix it? I know they are starting at the proper cylinders, its just the end thats messed up | 15:34 |
| BlueEagle | erkin: in a terminal run `lspci` and identify which kind of wireless network adapter you have. | 15:34 |
| nikin | unop: i see... i was just thinking on how they separated the keyboards in that project... :) | 15:34 |
| kampret | hi | 15:34 |
| lee_1 | maxbaldwin: i dont want to do that, i'd rather build a system up than cut one down | 15:34 |
| adobongkangkong | how can I make virtualbox detect my usb devices in my ubuntu hardy host. I followed instruction on editing stuff in /etc/init.d but still unable to mount any usb devices. Do i need linux headers installed? If so which one? | 15:34 |
| lee_1 | why the heck is it failing at the kernel, its like the last task in installing the base | 15:34 |

| froduntu | jrib, I solved it, just wanted to relay, turns out I didn't have pulse audio | 15:34 |

| maxbaldwin | lee_1: can't help you, sorry. | 15:35 |
| lee_1 | :( | 15:35 |
| mercutio22 | so, is there a way to take away that last cylinder from partitions 4 and 7? | 15:35 |
| adobongkangkong | !virtualbox | 15:35 |

| Dai | is there a solution for the problem : "can't write any email on hotmail with last firefox and last (k)ubuntu ?" | 15:35 |
| froduntu | jrib, I'm talking about my previous issue not being able to log into ubuntu | 15:35 |
| jeromeg | anyone running ubuntu on amd64 here ? I need three seconds of your time to test build something | 15:35 |
| unop | nikin, well, they separate each set of devices to a particular display and run multiple displays. | 15:35 |
| BlueEagle | mercutio22: gparted should be able to do that iirc. | 15:35 |
| jrib | froduntu: ah, right. I forgot about you :) Glad you got it | 15:35 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | does anyone here have experience with tvtime? | 15:36 |
| NoVARaif | morning all - I just recently upgraded my home server from 8.04 LTS to 8.10, and now my samba shares and printers are unavailable to either my Windoze or Mac boxes.... anyone up to sharing some troubleshooting pointers? | 15:36 |
| jrib | froduntu: in the future use the person's nick when responding to questions | 15:36 |
| unop | Phlogi, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 15:36 |
| Tetracomm | jrib: Someone told me to. | 15:36 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | for some reason it seems to not work with my tv-card, even though its flawlessly detected | 15:36 |
| maty | dulak: how do i fix? | 15:36 |
| froduntu | jrib, that's ok you were really busy, at the time | 15:36 |
| BlueEagle | erkin: Read the link that ubottu provided and hollor back when you've got a more spesific idea as to where it fails. :) | 15:36 |
| froduntu | jrib, so I just left quietly... but thanks | 15:36 |
| erkin | thx BlueEagle | 15:37 |
| jrib | Tetracomm: well I don't see why | 15:37 |
| lee_1 | argh, now its going red and telling me it failed to run dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.8~somestuff.deb | 15:37 |
| mercutio22 | BlueEagle> gparted can't see my partitions, it gives an error "Can't have a partition outside the disk! | 15:37 |
| lee_1 | this is a rather problematic cd | 15:37 |
| maty | dulak: im going to put the hardrives back into the network thing and see if it works :\ | 15:37 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: what about other TV programs? motv xawtv? | 15:37 |
| NoVARaif | I've looked at the samba logs, reinstalled samba after backing up my smb.conf, and am not sure where to go from here? | 15:37 |
| Tetracomm | jrib: I really want to install some plugins and GnuSound. :( | 15:38 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: i have problems getting xawtv to work, is there a channelscan somewhere? | 15:38 |
| lassesandberg | hello guys.. im about to use distro upgrade thingy to upgrade to 8.04 (from 7.10).. im wondering is it possible to set up a system restore point or something, anything short of taking a snapshot backup of the entire partition.. its because last i tried upgrading like taht ubuntu went haywire and had to reinstall, and start from scratch, would hate for that to happen again | 15:38 |
| kri | hi, i have to open alsamixer with the command 'alsamixer -D hw:0' to get everything up, what do i have to do so i get the same (master + PCM etc not just master) when i just hit 'alsamixer'? | 15:39 |
| lee_1 | so it fails installing the kernel, then if I try to install again it fails at libc6 | 15:39 |
| maxbaldwin | lassesandberg: backup ~/ then do it. | 15:39 |
| trypto | hey guys | 15:39 |
| lee_1 | ok, how much space is required for the ubuntu "base" system | 15:39 |
| trypto | is there someone who's a BLOGGER? | 15:39 |
| maxbaldwin | hello trypto | 15:39 |

| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: not in xawtv but there is one in motv | 15:40 |
| lassesandberg | maxbaldwin wont that only backup my user? are you sure if i then went back and overwrote that my entire ubuntu system would restore to 7.10 as it is now? | 15:40 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: where do i get motv? | 15:40 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: sudo apt-get install motv | 15:41 |
| maty | dulak: do you know general linux | 15:41 |
| maxbaldwin | lassesandberg: if you have settings you want to keep, backup ~/. if you don't care, and have certain files, back them up to a flash disk or something. | 15:41 |
| icqnumber | is there a way to activate input methods options in firefox, like it is for other gtk applications? | 15:41 |
| Ultrahex | BlueEagle: so i checked my xorg.conf it seems to be fine, i even added the resolution settings that were missing but still the same thing happens | 15:41 |

| lassesandberg | maxbaldwin: its not just settings, its the entire system.. if my distro upgrade fails and ubuntu completely screws up and wont start, will my personal user settings make any difference? | 15:42 |
| bazhang | trypto, try in #ubuntu-offtopic not here | 15:42 |
| * NoVARaif wonders if there is anyone who could help with his samba troubleshooting efforts? | 15:42 | |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: ok then lets fall back to tvtime | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: sup? | 15:43 |
| maty | is it possible to change the owner of a file if your the owner but you dont have permissions to change it:\ | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: samba is easy | 15:43 |
| Ultrahex | maty: root/sudo | 15:43 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: so what do you experience in tvtime? | 15:43 |
| BlastuR | hey.. i have a dual monitor setup, (nvidia based card).. it seems to work fine, i have 2 desktops. The only problem is, when i start programs on screen 2, they appear on Screen 1 .. and i can't move them back to screen 2 (they just move to workspace #2 of screen 1) | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | maty: sudo chown <new owner> <file> | 15:44 |
| unop | maty, only root can give files away like that. | 15:44 |
| NoVARaif | morning ActionParsnip1 ! I upgraded from 8.04 LTS to 8.10 last week.... Samba seems to have lost it's mind after working previously for a couple versions of ubuntu | 15:44 |
| maty | Ultrahex: I cant | 15:44 |
| BlastuR | anyone know how to configure ubuntu to start programs in the "focused" screen instead of always screen #1? | 15:44 |
| maty | i cant access root | 15:44 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: i open the software and start a channel scan, but no channels are detected, i already tried a different cable, but that doesnt seem to be the problem | 15:44 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: Now, my shares and printers are unavailable to my Windoze and Mac clients | 15:44 |
| Ultrahex | maty: why can you not run sudo or use root >? | 15:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | unop: can the original owner of the file transfer ownership? | 15:44 |
| mdddddd | !ops | 15:44 |

| thiebaude | hi actionparsnip | 15:45 |
| Ultrahex | I am still fighting with the issue that Ubuntu 8.10 boots into a black screen... i can only boot into Ubuntu from recovery mode manually and everything for the most part works, any ideas | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hi thiebaude | 15:46 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: so i cannot figure out, where the problem is, whether tvtime has problems with the card, the card with the system, or the card with the broadcaster. ive set PAL europe, there is not much more settings to make. i tried the tvtime configurator, which doesnt have more settings either | 15:46 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: back inna few | 15:46 |
| Markooki | is there any particular problem with downloading ubuntu or xubuntu? i've been trying to download it many times, firefox, gwget, bittorrent, it always fails. ubuntu servers are over-used? | 15:46 |
| lee_1 | what are the kernel option differences in linux-image-2.whatever-generic and *-server? | 15:46 |
| Ultrahex | Markooki: try a differnt mirror | 15:46 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: did you try other settings? | 15:46 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: i tried the tvtime-scanner as well, which didnt detect any signals, so id like to test out whether tvtime is linked correctly to the card | 15:47 |
| Markooki | but why dont they use torrents? | 15:47 |
| Ultrahex | Markooki: there is torrents for Ubuntu | 15:47 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: france is SECAM | 15:47 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: well yeah ill try some out... really not much to mess around with | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lee_1: its a server kernel more optomised for server use (background processes more attended would make sense) | 15:47 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: thanks, but im in germany ;) | 15:47 |
| lee_1 | ActionParsnip1: ok | 15:47 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72400/ | 15:47 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: Germany is PAL BG :D | 15:48 |
| Bupsss | hi, is it possible to do a make in a specific dir? | 15:48 |
| Markooki | Ultrahex: yes, but there are also connection exceptions :'-( | 15:48 |
| Bupsss | i mean creating the files in a folder i want | 15:48 |
| nikin | rien-ne-va-plus: did you try to hook up a video or a DVD on it? | 15:49 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: yeah so thats my current setting...are there other tools to at least test the tv-card? like a raw scanner like it exists for dvb-t ? | 15:49 |
| icqnumber | is there a way to activate input methods options in firefox, like it is for other gtk applications? | 15:49 |
| Ultrahex | Markooki: then there must be something wrong with your system/internet cause i am fine grabing packages etc | 15:49 |
| kat | Hey everyone. I have NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, and just upgraded to 8.10 and now it doesn't work. Im in "low resoution mode". How do I make it work? | 15:49 |
| eternau74 | hi, does somebody know how to get the ip of a certain website? | 15:49 |
| eternau74 | there was a command but I can remember it | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: looks nice, id add "valid users = <username>" to each. and also add "invalid users = root" for security | 15:49 |
| lee_1 | eternau74: hostname domain.com | 15:49 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | nikin: i have another tv-card (dvb-t) and a dvd drive plugged to the system, but i want to watch via the analog tv-card | 15:49 |
| unop | eternau74, dig domainname.com | 15:49 |
| lee_1 | host*!! | 15:49 |
| lee_1 | not hostname xD | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: have you ran sudo smbpasswd <user name> | 15:50 |
| mooded | kat, go to system->system settings->hardware drivers or smth like that. there install nvidia proprietary drivers (177 series) | 15:50 |
| eternau74 | there we go, thanks =) | 15:50 |
| kri | where is the bashrc in ubuntu? | 15:50 |
| icqnumber | is there a way to activate input methods options in firefox, like it is for other gtk applications? | 15:50 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: I'll do that .. brb | 15:50 |
| Markooki | Ultrahex: i don't think it's the same servers for images, as packages.. seems most servers are running heavy since the release of 8.10 | 15:50 |
| maxbaldwin | kri: ~/.bashrc | 15:50 |
| sloucher | just ping it eternau74 "ping yahoo.com" | 15:50 |
| cricido | where can i find eee ubuntu version ? | 15:50 |
| lee_1 | sloucher: but host is designed for that job specificially | 15:50 |
| unop | Bupsss, it depends, do you want to build the source in a certain directory or install the compiled binaries to a specific target directory? | 15:50 |
| maxbaldwin | sloucher: ping www.yahoo.com. I think it needs the www | 15:50 |
| kat | mooded, i've done that.. but when i restart it says it doesnt work | 15:51 |
| bazhang | !eeepc | 15:51 |
| ubottu | Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: also make sure you can ping between the systems by name and ip for completenesss | 15:51 |
| Bupsss | unop, i want to build the source in a certain directory.... i dont want to overwrite the files in my system | 15:51 |
| unop | maxbaldwin, yahoo.com and www.yahoo.com probably point to different hosts - both are valid | 15:51 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, quick-locale-switcher | 15:51 |
| kat | mooded, it says this driver is activated and currently in use.... ? but it's not | 15:51 |
| maxbaldwin | unop, okay. | 15:51 |
| icqnumber | bazhang, what is this | 15:52 |
| maxbaldwin | wasn't sure, I thought web sites needed the www. | 15:52 |
| mooded | kat, how did you get the info that its not in use ? | 15:52 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, its a ff plugin to change input method | 15:52 |
| kat | mooded, when i restarted | 15:52 |
| mooded | kat, do a "glxinfo| grep -i direct" | 15:52 |
| icqnumber | !info quick-locale-switcher hardy | 15:52 |
| ubottu | Package quick-locale-switcher does not exist in hardy | 15:52 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, not in repos; get from firefox addons site | 15:53 |
| unop | maxbaldwin, not necessarily, the www is just a convenience and most hosts forward to www if not specified like google.com and yahoo.com, etc | 15:53 |
| kat | mooded, a bunch of lines saying "GLX missing on display" | 15:53 |
| mooded | kat - is glx loaded in your xorg.conf then ? (did you manually adjust anything in that file, btw ?) | 15:53 |
| maxbaldwin | unop: ok, sure. I know my school doesn't do that. | 15:54 |
| kat | not that i know of.... but mooded , brb. i gotta do something. | 15:54 |

| dr_willis | lee_1, lilo is rarely used these days.. | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: yu could put the samba server on static ip then add an entry to it in your HOSTS file | 15:58 |

| ActionParsnip1 | NoVARaif: via ip or name? | 15:58 |

| bazhang | Masticor1, what is dvd95 | 15:58 |
| icqnumber | bazhang, i think it is something else, i need that option every time i right click on the input field in firefox, in pop up menu-> input methods->cyrillic transliterated in firefox | 15:58 |
| mooded | fus10nx, i guess you mean the "gnome panel" | 15:58 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, not sure there sorry | 15:59 |
| the_alamo | where can i find the blueprint for the next release of ubuntu? | 15:59 |

| Masticor1 | bazhang: dvd ripping tool | 15:59 |
| bazhang | Masticor1, try k9copy | 15:59 |
| mooded | fus10nx, i guess you could just remove the panel via right-click->delete this panel.. (but i dont know if thats a useful thing) | 15:59 |

| mooded | lee_1, only know grub failing when the boot-directory is on an xfs-partition or at least not on a ext3-partition.. | 16:01 |
| ty | Masterkiller: acid-rip works great | 16:01 |

| rsc- | oh oops. | 16:02 |
| rsc- | wrong window. | 16:02 |
| mooded | lee_1, sure it works.. but lilo sucks compared to grub ,) | 16:02 |

After this, MacOS and Ubuntu works, but Windows bluescreens after a few seconds of its progress bar (it worked before installing Ubuntu). I installed refit, gptsynced, whereafter Windows couldn't find hal.dll; I fixed the boot.ini, and Windows once again starts booting; ho | 16:03 |
| mooded | lee_1, you dont have that option in lilo.. (for example when you switch kernels asf..) | 16:03 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: server has been static IP forever ;) | 16:03 |
| lee_1 | mooded: meh, this is only a vm for testing, i wanted to get a base system, although I wouldn't really call even an ubuntu base system "small"... | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | good, then add the name / ip to the windows hosts file and it will circumvent dns | 16:04 |

| Polysics | my webcam refuses to work on 8.10 | 16:13 |
| Polysics | i've installed the v4l packages from the PPA | 16:13 |
| Skyrail | mooded: yeh it's there :/ | 16:13 |
| sye | I miss windows - not! | 16:13 |
| Polysics | and put the LD line in /etc/profile | 16:13 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: where can I check, on the ubuntu box, to see if it's denying HTTP calls from the client machines? | 16:13 |
| Polysics | but i suspect i am missing the gscpa module in the kernel | 16:14 |
| Polysics | if my webcam uses the gscpa module, shoudl i see something like that in lsmod? | 16:14 |
| locustmage | the only thing i miss about windows is the games.. Wine is too buggy and Cedega costs | 16:14 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: I can ping the silly thing, now by IP and name, but firefox on the client is still lost lol | 16:14 |
| Polysics | locustmage, do like me, buy a xbox 360, less money, always run newer games | 16:14 |
| mooded | Skyrail, so what exactly are you doing where you think there should be something completed via tab ? | 16:14 |
| * NoVARaif is thinking about recycling the network stack | 16:14 | |
| platius | Polysics; install gspca-source | 16:14 |
| UnknownUser56 | try ip:port ? | 16:14 |
| Polysics | platius, then? | 16:15 |
| Polysics | if theere is a then :-) | 16:15 |
| Skyrail | mooded: well I've done it before on numerous previous installs, apt-get install <use tab completion of package names here> | 16:15 |
| Roland123 | while trying "make install" the app tells me that can't find SDL.h... where to get it? | 16:15 |
| platius | Polysics; phone call | 16:15 |
| locustmage | yeah but the big one I want to play is on PS2 (which i have just not online) and windows... FFXI Im a big FF freak and ive never played that one yet | 16:15 |
| UnknownUser56 | google is hiding the headers | 16:15 |
| lee_1 | Roland123: probably in some libsdl-dev or something | 16:15 |
| TheLostShaman | alllopp | 16:16 |
| TheLostShaman | anybody can help me plz | 16:16 |
| lee_1 | Roland123: likely libsdl1.2-dev | 16:16 |
| Phlogi | why is openoffice3 not added to current release? I don't get it... that sucks | 16:16 |
| JaxxMaxx| | FFXI is not that great. may have improved in the years its been since I was a player, though | 16:16 |
| locustmage | because they thought they would let open office work out their bugss | 16:16 |
| mooded | Skyrail, oh.. that kind of completion would be new to me.. i guess its a bash-specific configuration thing then... prolly in /etc/bash_completion - but cant you tell any details.. | 16:16 |
| Polysics | i guess you can get a PS2 for vry little money these days | 16:16 |
| Skyrail | mooded: fair enough, I'll just use apt-cache search from now on then :) thanks | 16:17 |
| locustmage | i read the release details. same reason Kubuntu isnt relying fulling on KDE 4 | 16:17 |
| mooded | Skyrail, np ,) | 16:17 |
| Polysics | it might be jsut me, but since i got the 360 and a good lcdtv i never booted a windows game again :-) | 16:17 |
| locustmage | well the issue is before i got into linux i bought the windows version of FFXI and then i never had the internet... | 16:17 |
| platius | Polysics; http://lwn.net/Articles/291036/ here is a list of supported devices | 16:18 |
| locustmage | now i do and i run linux. ironic huh? | 16:18 |
| Roland123 | lee_1: tnx, but any idea on GL/glext.h? | 16:18 |
| Polysics | platius, the cam works flawlessy in 8.04, i just wanted to avoid downgrading the kernel if possible | 16:18 |
| Polysics | also because i have no idea HOW to downgrade :-) | 16:18 |
| locustmage | well i dont try to compare MMORPGs, but rather a fan of the series | 16:19 |
| lee_1 | Roland123: No idea, if its to do with OpenGL, its probably a libsomething :) try looking for lib*-dev packages in synaptic | 16:19 |
| Polysics | after quitting WoW i won't play another MMORPG again | 16:19 |
| ashleyp | http://www.unsere-nackte-pyjamaparty.net/?id=1083665 | 16:19 |

| Polysics | i actually get more support on my free ubuntu than on my paid windows, but maybe it's just me | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Polysics: you have a number you can ring to get answers | 16:48 |
| alcockell | Point taken, Polysics.. I suppose it's a different mindset. | 16:48 |
| Guest73983 | mez i think u can google that | 16:48 |
| Guest73983 | 2 simple to think | 16:48 |
| Polysics | then again, things like the v4l bug make me want to set things on fire :-) | 16:48 |
| alcockell | ... which can even be a bit of a mental switch if you happen to work in professional IT support... | 16:49 |
| Polysics | ActionParsnip1, ever tried actually calling? :-) i think i solved problems the guy at the call center had, the last time i tried :-) | 16:49 |
| mon^rch | lol | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Polysics: ive never needed it. i have the web | 16:49 |
| Polysics | at least ubuntu doesn't make you "expect" anything, everything that comes is good, being it free and not asking anything in return save for the occasional small donation | 16:50 |

| alcockell | Polysics - however, there are higher customer expectations around Ubuntu now - especially with it being the default install on some laptops.. | 16:51 |

| bazhang | please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:51 |

| ikonia | ActionParsnip1: it's not an ubuntu release | 16:51 |
| jrib | dmulholland: you can use ~/.icons/ | 16:51 |
| bazhang | ActionParsnip1, he is muted | 16:51 |
| Lavagolemking | ikonia: I can also see the installed files on /media/disk. | 16:52 |
| ikonia | Lavagolemking: the partition types are marked as HPFS/NTFS | 16:52 |
| ikonia | Lavagolemking: the ubuntu installer wouldn't do that | 16:53 |
| alcockell | Nah - sounds like XP or Vista.. | 16:53 |
| Palomides | how do I create an image of a disk? | 16:53 |
| alcockell | Or W2003.. | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: didnt think so, there's a mandriva ultimate :) | 16:53 |
| Lavagolemking | Yes, but gparted is reading a FAT16, NTFS (9.77 GB) and a giant EXT3. | 16:53 |
| eydaimon | How can I make the sound louder? It's awefully soft, and my headphones don't have a volume control | 16:53 |
| ikonia | Lavagolemking: fdisk is only showing 2 partitions which is a worry | 16:54 |
| Polysics | i probably have a different problem - maybe the webcam isn't even supported | 16:54 |
| Lavagolemking | The installed encountered a "fatal error" in installing GRUB. | 16:54 |
| bazhang | eydaimon, open terminal and type alsamixer | 16:54 |

| ikonia | Lavagolemking: looks like your disk layout i corrupted there | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Lavagolemking: I would a.) reboot to make sure the disk was read correctly b.) re-install | 16:59 |
| abchirk | what is a good recording program for voice? | 16:59 |
| Lavagolemking | It's a brand new computer, so I'm guessing the disk isn't corrupt. | 16:59 |
| NoVARaif | ActionParsnip1: odd... I just tried a "sudo ufw status" and was told it's not loaded? rofl | 17:00 |
| mooded | Lavagolemking, ikonia said the layout might be corrupt not the disk itself. | 17:00 |

| bsnider | does anybody know where archive mounter mounts images? what is the path? | 17:03 |
| frith | what package has php file info? | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bsnider: make it mount something, then run mount in terminal. it will say | 17:04 |
| Rioting_pacifist | its wierd tho because the system works perfectly just both x and cli but the screen is unusable | 17:04 |
| Lavagolemking | ikonia: The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) failed. | 17:04 |
| Rioting_pacifist | and the system used to suspend/resume ok (when it worked) | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Rioting_pacifist: you could restart x but it kinda defeats the point of suspend | 17:04 |
| Rioting_pacifist | ActionParsnip1: that doesnt do anything, both the cli and x stay screwed | 17:05 |

| ldiamond | ActionParsnip1, I already tried purging, but not all of the above, Ill try them next time FF crashes | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nalys: id chown the folder to you just to make sure its got the right owner | 17:18 |
| mooded | vladuz976, the last one i talked to finally reinstalled 8.04.. since none of the nvidia-drivers worked in 8.10 for him / her / whatever | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ldiamond: it basically removes firefox and all its gumf, then cleans your apt-cache so you are forced to download fresh | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ldiamond: or you could use opera :D | 17:19 |
| vladuz976 | mooded, so for some people it works, for others it doesn't? | 17:19 |
| vladuz976 | mooded, what does it depend on? | 17:20 |
| mooded | vladuz976, i guess solving it depends on your knowledge about kernel-compiling asf... | 17:20 |
| icheyne | is there a workable alternative to sun-java? | 17:20 |
| icheyne | I can't get it to work | 17:20 |
| mooded | vladuz976, i have 9800gtx nvidia and it works.. (but i installed 8.10 directly, no update or so) | 17:20 |
| ldiamond | ActionParsnip1, yea I already downloaded opera, but I kinda like google toolbar in FF, and some other extensions | 17:20 |
| vladuz976 | mooded, i am thinking of doing that too | 17:20 |
| ldiamond | ActionParsnip1, so Opera wouldnt be as nice (eventho its faster, for now) | 17:20 |

| nalys | Stargazer: read my questions, I had the same problem, I think you maybe deleted these files directly from an external device could that be? | 17:24 |

| benjamin | hi | 17:58 |
| benjamin | I need some help... | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ask | benjamin | 17:58 |
| ubottu | benjamin: 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. :-) | 17:58 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside... if you left click on connection manager and go to the subheading "vpn" it doesn't list the vpn you added? | 17:58 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: try this: cat /var/log/syslog | grep IP_ADDRESS_OF_CONNECTING_COMPUTER | 17:58 |
| sigmab3ta | rdw200169_: for the record it was kern.log i was looking for =) | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: when you fire it up you'll have flash | 17:58 |
| rdw200169_ | sigmab3ta: see, you're already outpacing the teacher, good ;) | 17:58 |
| lostinside | koruptidpryde, It's listed but not available | 17:59 |
| manzur | hello! | 17:59 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, hmm | 17:59 |
| benjamin | I can;t get proftpd to work..... I have set it up... etc.. it is active... I try and log into it from localhost and everytime I get login incorrect | 17:59 |
| benjamin | any ideas? | 17:59 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, is the dial-up USB modem connection to a wired or cell network? | 17:59 |
| rdw200169_ | benjamin: proftpd is pretty complicated, have you considered vsftpd? | 17:59 |
| lostinside | Ev-do koruptidpryde | 18:00 |
| benjamin | nope | 18:00 |
| benjamin | :) | 18:00 |
| ElFede | i cannot start KDE when I boot from the HD installation, DCOPserver is missing | 18:00 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, EVDO should be supported under the "Mobile Broadband" section of NetMan | 18:00 |
| transporter | ok gimme just a min k action parsnip1 | 18:00 |
| benjamin | is it better? | 18:00 |
| lostinside | ok wait lemme check | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: np man, tab complete my name dude | 18:01 |
| sigmab3ta | next question: in dmesg, what is the meaning of those numbers on the left? i can surmise they're some method of keeping time, but it's incomprehensible to me | 18:01 |
| YmS | soundray: how do change the workgroup ? | 18:01 |
| rdw200169_ | sigmab3ta: it's like the unix time in complicated form | 18:01 |
| rdw200169_ | sigmab3ta: zulu time on crack | 18:01 |
| rdw200169_ | sigmab3ta: down to the millisecond i believe | 18:01 |
| ElFede | what is DCOPserver? | 18:02 |
| benjamin | I am trying vsftp | 18:02 |
| sigmab3ta | i see | 18:02 |
| Nikyo | rdw200169_: I know it is dropping the connection when I use the ubuntu computers name. It's weird becasue I have allowed that computer to connect to the ubuntu computer using the policy in firestarter. So it can be a port that firestarter is blocking, because any port that is being requested should be allow per poilcy. Connecting to the i.p. address accoss the LAN to ubuntu comptuer is fine, just not requesting a name. If I disable fiestarte | 18:02 |
| Nikyo | r, I can connected using the ubuntu computer name. | 18:02 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, I have to admit to not being a guru.... so I'm sort of bouncing ideas in hopes that we reach a fix for you.. the "two heads are better than one" theory, lol | 18:02 |
| rdw200169_ | sigmab3ta: syslog puts those in a more useful form for you ;) | 18:02 |
| mark___ | So. Linux to Mac file transfer | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mark___: id use samba | 18:03 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, samba will == win | 18:03 |
| YmS | Stephan nee | 18:03 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: unless there's a NAT Firewall getting in the way | 18:03 |
| Nikyo | rdw200169_: sorry I was typing to fast, forgive SP | 18:03 |
| lostinside | koruptidpryde, sure lol | 18:03 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: are you doing this through a NAT Router? | 18:03 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, you can also share via NFS.... will be a little harder to do tho | 18:03 |
| mark___ | What about my friend's ignorance of his computer's name? | 18:03 |
| mark___ | How do I cure that? | 18:04 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, hammer? | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mark___: get him to find it out | 18:04 |
| mark___ | He doesn't know how. It's a Mac | 18:04 |
| tolstiy | anybody uses wm-based phones? | 18:04 |
| sigmab3ta | rdw200169_: well tailing the kern.log is making it eradable too | 18:04 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, don't hate on the mac.... one sec and I'll see what I can do | 18:04 |
| Lucifer_ | tolstiy yes | 18:04 |
| Lucifer_ | !ask | 18:05 |
| sigmab3ta | i mostly just wanted to see if i was right about whether or not it was timekeeping | 18:05 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 18:05 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, is he on the same physical network at the moment? | 18:05 |
| === pro is now known as bigtimenoob | ||
| mark___ | No | 18:05 |
| transporter | k actionparnship1 | 18:05 |
| mark___ | He's offline | 18:05 |
| transporter | awwww | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: better? | 18:05 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, okay.... so how were you planning to get to the shared files? | 18:05 |
| soundray | YmS: by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf -- see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html | 18:05 |
| transporter | k i typed in the command that he gave me | 18:05 |
| mark___ | I was planning to send him one | 18:05 |
| transporter | gave me a bunch of stuff | 18:05 |
| tolstiy | i can't get access to my phonebook and storage card | 18:05 |
| transporter | hmmm | 18:06 |
| bigtimenoob | Hey guys I have a question, I deleted wine files doing sudo nautilus , and now when I do sudo apt-get purge wine, then sudo apt-get install wine, it just shows the same wine file that has them all deleted | 18:06 |
| lostinside | koruptidpryde, didn't found that but I got into another thing, I install Kvpnc I got some error messages | 18:06 |
| bigtimenoob | any ideas? | 18:06 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, that I understand.... but are you trying to do so over a network or the internet? | 18:06 |
| YmS | soundray: I love you :) | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: install all it says and the wrapper will manage flash for you | 18:06 |
| mark___ | The internet | 18:06 |
| lostinside | koruptidpryde, debug: [pppd] sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] | 18:06 |
| lostinside | debug: [pppd] LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests | 18:06 |
| Nikyo | rdw200169_: Nope.. this is going across the LAN. On another computer on the lan, I can add that to firestarter policy and then connect thru the local LAN like say my ubuntu computer is 192..168.1.50, If put that into vnc, no problem. Now if I put in the ubuntu name from that same computer on the lan and put in the Ubuntu computer name say "happyUbuntu" then it drops. Maybe I should talk to the firestarter DEV team? | 18:06 |
| transporter | no its says command not found | 18:06 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, be right with you | 18:07 |
| Azureus | How can i add new user accounts in openssh? | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: at what point? | 18:07 |
| soundray | YmS: okay, let's plan our wedding | 18:07 |
| lostinside | :) | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Azureus: you dont, the local accounts are used | 18:07 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: did you add the host hames to /etc/hosts? so firestarter can translate the hostname to ip address? | 18:07 |
| YmS | lol | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: can you pastebin me the who text? | 18:07 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, then a "local" exchange method won't help you unless you guys set up a vpn.... I would recommend using a direct file transfer using pidgin.... the mac client I believe is "Adium" | 18:08 |
| transporter | it gives me a bunch of stuff says something multiverse and says at the end something like this | 18:08 |
| mark___ | Pidgin fts are damned slow :( | 18:08 |
| transporter | im trying | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !paste | transporter | 18:08 |
| ubottu | transporter: 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) | 18:08 |
| AzizLight | hi everybody | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mark___: fts? | 18:08 |
| transporter | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 18:09 |

| mark___ | file transfers | 18:09 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: in order to use hostnames in place of ip's, you HAVE to either have a DNS server that can translate that hostname (that firestarter can reach) or, you have to have an entry in /etc/hosts | 18:09 |
| illissius` | hi | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: use pastebin! | 18:09 |
| transporter | there it is man | 18:09 |
| illissius` | problem: my VTs are sometimes (e.g. now) completely blank | 18:09 |
| benjamin | great thanks :) | 18:09 |
| === bigtimenoob is now known as ted_____ | ||
| AzizLight | I know there is a shortcut to use the argument used with the previous command in a terminal but what is that shortcut please? | 18:09 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, okay.... well then you need to find a direct connection method that is linux/mac.... let me attempt to do the work for you by google. :-P | 18:09 |
| UnknownUser56 | My ubuntu 8.10 iso finished downloading,what problems do I have to face during install ? | 18:09 |
| benjamin | it is much easier | 18:09 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: otherwise, firestarter has no idea what to use for ip address, b/c hostnames don't matter to firestarter | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: do you have synaptic running or anything like that | 18:09 |
| transporter | ya | 18:09 |
| Azureus | ActionParsnip1: well...if i want to connect to my ssh server using openssh client for windows i do not get to chose the user..instead i get to write the password for a user that does not exist on the ssh server's machine | 18:09 |
| UnknownUser56 | any experience for installing it,do tell | 18:09 |
| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: or iptables, for that matter | 18:09 |
| mark___ | I was going to use gFTP | 18:09 |
| illissius` | (I ctrl-alt-F* from X to something else, and get a black screen. ctrl-alt-F7 back to X works fine.) | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: thats why, close it when its appropriate | 18:09 |
| transporter | close it now | 18:10 |
| transporter | and then type in the command | 18:10 |
| LongbowSir | Greetings I have a question about the possibility of reverting from Ubuntu 8.10 back to 8.4 ??? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Azureus: how do you connect to the ssh server? | 18:10 |
| ikonia | LongbowSir: not really | 18:10 |
| rdw200169_ | LongbowSir: good luck ... | 18:10 |
| LongbowSir | darn ! | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: yep, you can only have 1 app connected to the packages | 18:10 |
| UnknownUser56 | why longbowsir ? Anything particlar | 18:10 |
| Azureus | ActionParsnip1: ssh -w0:0 serveraddress | 18:10 |
| transporter | oh ok | 18:10 |
| koruptidpryde | mark___, if he is connecting to you then you need to install an FTP daemon on your system and forward the FTP port on your router to your machine | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !downgrade | LongbowSir | 18:10 |
| ubottu | LongbowSir: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 18:10 |
| transporter | can u gimme the command one more time plz :) | 18:11 |
| LongbowSir | all My video quit since the change to 8.10 | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Azureus: try ssh username@server | 18:11 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, okay.... I'm drawing a blank... my PPP knowledge sucks | 18:11 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, what wireless provider are you using? | 18:11 |
| lostinside | koruptidpryde, Sudani | 18:11 |
| soundray | illissius`: the default text mode seems to be incompatible with your video setup. Try setting vga=0x317 or similar as a kernel boot option | 18:11 |
| soundray | !bootoption | illissius` | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bootoption | 18:11 |
| soundray | !bootoptions | illissius` | 18:11 |
| ubottu | illissius`: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | transporter: better? | 18:11 |
| Azureus | ActionParsnip1:but i need the -w0:0 parameter..i'm gonna try ssh -w0:0 username@server | 18:11 |
| koruptidpryde | lostinside, ouch.... okay, let me see... | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Azureus: sounds good | 18:12 |
| lostinside | koruptidpryde, it's not listed | 18:12 |
| illissius` | soundray: it's inconsistent though... after some boots, the VTs work fine, at other times they don't (like now) | 18:12 |
| illissius` | i have no clue what makes the difference | 18:12 |
| Nikyo | rdw200169_: Ah.. that that's why.. I'll work on what you said.. I can understand now what is going on, Thank You so much for your help! | 18:12 |

| rdw200169_ | Nikyo: hey, no problem | 18:12 |

| LongbowSir | so is their any time table as to when the fixes will come out so video chat will work again? | 18:13 |
| soundray | illissius`: it's video mode black magic. Try my suggestion -- alternatives to 0x317 (which is for 1024x768) are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers | 18:13 |

| krish_ | can anyone help me with ajax programs | 18:40 |
| rdw200169_ | cyberfin: what you can do, when you re-install--and this means i'm assuming you keep /home on a separate partition--is just install without specifying a separate /home partition | 18:40 |

| szx0 | LjL, that's true I'm going to try that now | 18:40 |

| mora_ | Ubuntu has started freezing for me after upgrade to 8.10 (never experienced that earlier, had ubuntu installed since 7.04 on this computer). I dont use compiz. Anyone know how i can troubleshoot that? any log I can look in after booting up again for example? | 18:43 |

| LjL | cyberfin: also, having "stuff" (as in third-party packages/repositories) can definitely do harm on upgrading. | 18:44 |
| Koordin | uninstalls* | 18:44 |
| matthew | valon that is a compiz issue | 18:44 |
| doctor | mora_: i always have a freezing issue when i distupgrade. this occurred between 7.10 and 8.04, and again from 8.04 to 8.10 | 18:44 |
| valon | matthew, do you know how to fix it ? | 18:44 |
| matthew | use metacity | 18:45 |
| mora_ | doctor: so.. it goes away eventuelly? is that what you are saying? | 18:45 |
| doctor | mora_: no. | 18:45 |
| matthew | or find a good gtk 2.x theme | 18:45 |
| joaopinto | doctor, you mean, using the update manager ? | 18:45 |
| doctor | mora_: the best solution i've found is to put your /home on a separate partition and just reinstall the base system instead of upgrading. | 18:45 |
| doctor | joapinto: correct. | 18:45 |
| krish_ | doctor pls use some hot water to release the freeze | 18:45 |
| matthew | I use a greyhound theme works great | 18:45 |
| valon | matthew, what about emerald | 18:45 |
| matthew | I don't use emerald | 18:45 |
| doctor | joaopinto, correct. | 18:45 |
| cyberfin | that answers my question then. Thanks LjL. My thought was to create a new user and upgrade from that account, importing old configs and files as and when needed from the backed up home folder | 18:45 |

| mora_ | doctor: alright. thanks for the tip. Iäve got home on a separate partition so i guess I should be able to reinstall w/o too much trouble. | 18:47 |
| matthew | Have you tried installing the drivers with envyng | 18:47 |
| krish_ | nosorog, u can install it using a computer with ubuntu installed on it | 18:47 |
| valon | matthew, no | 18:47 |
| matthew | valon, sudo apt-get install envyng | 18:47 |
| cyberfin | Off I go, wish me luck... bb. | 18:47 |
| joaopinto | mora_, that is not likely to be related to the upgrade process itself | 18:47 |
| doctor | mora_: just be smart and rename your home directory first with the livecd. and back /etc/ up in case you need to reference anything. | 18:47 |
| matthew | if it doesn't see it you probably need to enable universe and multiverse repos and reload | 18:47 |
| matthew | once you install it do | 18:48 |
| matthew | sudo envyng -t | 18:48 |
| valon | ok | 18:48 |
| matthew | it will get your drivers and install it for you | 18:48 |
| matthew | just follow the directions | 18:48 |
| joaopinto | mora_, if your system freezes with the new kernel/xorg. reinstalling will not help | 18:48 |
| doctor | mora_: you can then just copy stuff like your .mozilla, .purple directories/etc directly into the new home directory and you'll be fine. you can even copy your desktop settings, and then you won't even lose your wallpaper. ;] | 18:48 |
| Koordin | hi i have a weird problem ; when i try to uninstall tcl/tk8.4, apt-get uninstalls also ocaml ; and when tcl/tk8.4 is installed, this bring forth conflicts with tcl/tk8.5 and amsn does not work. so how can i do to remove tcl/tk8.4 without removing ocaml ? | 18:48 |
| ghostlines | if mail is sent with tls security via port 587, can everyone still receive it? | 18:48 |
| joaopinto | Koordin, you can't, because ocaml needs tcl/tk8.4 | 18:49 |
| netizen | halloo to all | 18:49 |
| mora_ | joapinto: perhaps, but I've got to try something... gotta start somwhere :) | 18:49 |
| joaopinto | ghostlines, yes, that encryption is just between your client ant the smtp server | 18:49 |
| Koordin | joaopinto: so how can i do ? because amsn needs tcl.tk8.5 and there is a conflict between those | 18:49 |
| mora_ | doctor: alright, thanks alot for your help. | 18:50 |
| joaopinto | mora_, there are specific procedures to debug system freezes, reinstalling is not one of them :) | 18:50 |
| doctor | mora_: sure. | 18:50 |
| mora_ | jaopinto: could you point me in the right direction? | 18:50 |
| doctor | joaopinto, while normally i'd agree with you my upgrade issues were all but unresolvable. | 18:50 |
| doctor | joaopinto: i spent multiple days debugging each time, and the freezing was never the only issue. recently moving from hardy to intrepid, for example, x wouldn't restart or shut down - it'd just hang until a hard-reboot. | 18:51 |
| verwilst | hi | 18:51 |
| joaopinto | doctor, well, I am just advocating this process after a discussion with the ubuntu developers, we strongly discouraged me to not suggest fresh reinstall | 18:52 |
| verwilst | doctor: talking about freezes after being idle? | 18:52 |
| joaopinto | they... | 18:52 |
| verwilst | btw, somebody has the problem that he has to click several times before the click is actually "registered" in intrepid? | 18:52 |
| doctor | joaopinto: had idle freezes when i went to hardy. but if suggesting a clean install isn't kosher, i'll stop suggesting it. | 18:52 |
| valon | matthew, i cant seem to get envyg | 18:53 |
| Meshach | Well, nevermind I got ies4linux working.. IE6 at least. | 18:53 |
| Meshach | later guys | 18:53 |
| verwilst | i sometimes have to click 5 times before it's actually clicked | 18:53 |
| * Meshach waves goodbye | 18:53 | |
| matthew | valon did you see my private message | 18:54 |
| mora_ | joaopinto: got a freeze just now, sry. Could you point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot this, then? | 18:54 |

| fryguy | pianohacker: check if you are using evdev for your input devices, and try defaulting back to the standard xorg way of doing input devices | 19:09 |
| mikebeecham | I wonder if anyone can help. I have an album in wma format. it wont let me edit the ID3 tags. When I look at the properties of each of the individual files, the permission options are all greyed out...how can I change this? | 19:09 |
| fryguy | paul68: are both interfaces on the same subnet? | 19:09 |
| pianohacker | fryguy: Thanks, I believe I am; would that just involve creating the necessary entries in xorg.conf? | 19:09 |
| fryguy | pianohacker: right | 19:09 |
| pianohacker | awesome | 19:09 |
| kho_zhi | yo all , does it matter i continue using without the nvidia driver ? | 19:09 |
| fryguy | pianohacker: likewise, if you are using standard methods, try using evdev. I'm guessing the keyboard is getting "desynced" on the usb bus, gets redetcted, with default settings | 19:10 |
| fryguy | kho_zhi: no it doesn't matter | 19:10 |
| paul68 | fryguy: yes but different ip's eth0 is on 192.168.0.10 and the eth1 is on 192.168.1.22 | 19:10 |
| kho_zhi | ok thanks | 19:10 |
| Guest38416 | I have an issue with ubuntu with a clean install of 8.04, recompiling the kernel fixes the problem but I lose sound and wireless. Is there a way to get all the information I need right now to make the sound a wireless work and then recompile and use that info in order to fix what changes after I recompile? | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Guest38416: why are you recompiling the kernel ? | 19:10 |
| musikgoat | paul68: those are different subnets, if you mask is 255.255.255.0 | 19:10 |
| fryguy | Guest38416: just reinstall/recompile the drivers for the new kernel | 19:11 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: mask is 255.255.255.0 | 19:11 |
| fryguy | paul68: then those are different subnets, and you will need to define a route between them | 19:11 |
| DiiPhantom | hello all | 19:11 |
| paul68 | fryguy: how do I achieve that? | 19:12 |
| fryguy | paul68: use the route command | 19:12 |
| jim_p | can i group my "contacts" in pidgin, protocol-wise? all msns together, all ircs together and all jabbers together | 19:12 |
| HarigeHarry | Everybody "A TABLE" | 19:12 |
| fryguy | jim_p: you can organize your buddy list however you want. just drag and drop entries around | 19:12 |
| musikgoat | paul68: also if you want permanent static routes, you can read this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html | 19:13 |
| fryguy | jim_p: keep in mind that an alias can have multiple screen names associated with it, and the point of pidgin is to make your different protocols transparent and not matter | 19:13 |
| |Dede| | fryguy: Can Windows still affect if Ubuntu can mount the partition, even after it has been shut down? | 19:13 |
| paul68 | fryguy: this is the result of route -n http://paste.ubuntu.com/72491/ | 19:13 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: occasionally it can, yes | 19:13 |
| |Dede| | fryguy: I cannot access my partitions... It says "Unable to mount" | 19:13 |
| DiiPhantom | hi all, i am very new here, i get around very easey in windows, but im having dificulti here | 19:13 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: look at ntfsfix | 19:14 |
| tripitakit | |Dede|: if win has been closed not properly it can freeze the partition... | 19:14 |
| DiiPhantom | can anyone help me with installing my nvidia drivers? | 19:14 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: assuming it's an ntfs partition | 19:14 |
| jim_p | fryguy: not my buddy list. i know how to do that. i just want my msn contacts to be seperate from the jabber ones for instance. making a group to group all msn contacts and name it "msn" is hillarious | 19:14 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: they should already be installed | 19:14 |
| tarelerulz | I am trying to get friend to try Ubuntu/linux out . How much space does Ubuntu really need to work? | 19:14 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: if you go into the system menu, you'll see an administraiton menu, then a hardware drivers menu | 19:14 |
| |Dede| | so that means, startup windows, and shut it down properly, and it should work? | 19:14 |
| DiiPhantom | well its not detecting my refresh etc etc | 19:14 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: you should be able to enable it in there | 19:14 |
| yaser | any one knows whether its possible to have rounded corners in Gnome menus? | 19:14 |
| DiiPhantom | let me see | 19:14 |
| tripitakit | DiiPhantom: look at the restricted driver icon on the panel or in the system/admin menu | 19:14 |
| fryguy | jim_p: your contacts ARE your buddy list, unless i'm misunderstanding whta you mean | 19:14 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: can I pm you please | 19:15 |
| musikgoat | paul68: no, i'm not a routing guru, sorry, just giving you a pointer | 19:15 |
| yaser | tarelerulz, not very much, I cant be more precisa but I can ensure that with 4Gb you are fine | 19:15 |
| fryguy | talisein: couple gigabytes for standard installs | 19:15 |
| DiiPhantom | it says "no propietary drivers are in use on this system" | 19:15 |
| jim_p | fryguy: yes they are. but i cant make smaller groups of them to keep the protocols seeprated | 19:15 |
| jim_p | fryguy: can i make an example? | 19:15 |
| |Dede| | trpitakit: so that means, startup windows, and shut it down properly, and it should work? | 19:15 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: not saying that you are but need to understand this also | 19:15 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: what video card do you have ? | 19:15 |
| fryguy | jim_p: yes, you can, but i'm saying you should be grouping PEOPLE together, not protocols | 19:15 |
| DiiPhantom | evga 8800gts | 19:16 |
| tripitakit | |Dede|: yes it's a good try | 19:16 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: or just use ntfsfix like i said | 19:16 |
| musikgoat | paul68: everyone benefits from public convo's | 19:16 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: in the menu do you see any drivers available for use ? | 19:16 |
| DiiPhantom | nope | 19:16 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: true there | 19:16 |
| DiiPhantom | in that same window u mean?> | 19:16 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: thats right | 19:16 |
| DiiPhantom | no nothing its empty | 19:16 |
| tripitakit | fryguy: do ntfsfix unfreeze a froze ntfs too? | 19:16 |
| fryguy | 8800GTS isn't supported by the nvidia driver included in 8.04 if i remember correctly. not sure if that's applicable here or not | 19:16 |
| tarelerulz | yaser, The iso is 600+ and all most 700 mb . Is any of that compress and therefor uncompressed when you install it. | 19:16 |
| fryguy | tripitakit: pretty sure | 19:16 |
| DiiPhantom | i have 8.10 | 19:17 |
| tripitakit | fryguy: ty, didnt know taht | 19:17 |
| |Dede| | fryguy, do I have to download that? | 19:17 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: ok what do I need to according to this example so that eth1 can communicate with eth0 | 19:17 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: can you please pastebin the output of the command "lspci" please. | 19:17 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: no idea | 19:17 |
| jim_p | fryguy: lets say my friend X is online on msn, and my friend Y is online on jabber. pidgin shows both of them as online, in an "online" list with an icon that denotes their protocol | 19:17 |
| tripitakit | |Dede|: probably u need tu apt-get install it | 19:17 |
| yaser | tarelerulz, yes of course | 19:17 |
| musikgoat | paul68: this is a more detailed outline and clear info: http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugrouting.html | 19:17 |
| DiiPhantom | ikonia: want me to put it in the terminal right? | 19:17 |
| |Dede| | E: Couldn't find package ntfsfix | 19:17 |
| fryguy | jim_p: right | 19:17 |
| yaser | tarelerulz, it is decompressed, I would say that to 1.2-1-,4Gb | 19:18 |
| ikonia | DiiPhantom: yes please and pastebin the output | 19:18 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/ntfsfix.html | 19:18 |
| yaser | tarelerulz, 1.2-1,4Gb | 19:18 |
| DiiPhantom | wat do u mean with pastebin :( | 19:18 |
| jim_p | fryguy: i want X to be on msn users and Y to be on jabber users! | 19:18 |

| Azureus | how can i edit /root/.ssh/authorized_keys ? | 19:18 |
| ikonia | Azureus: open it in a text editor | 19:18 |
| ikonia | Azureus: although your root user should not have an authorized_keys file | 19:19 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: ok thanks | 19:19 |
| fryguy | jim_p: so then manipulate the groups to do that. it's trivial to create new groups and move users around. No idea why you would care what protocol you are using to connect with somebody, but just create a new group and move them around however you want | 19:19 |
| ikonia | Azureus: more so as ubuntu locks the root user | 19:19 |
| DiiPhantom | brb | 19:19 |

| Azureus | well..i tried to edit it with a text editor but it couldn't be saved | 19:19 |
| tripitakit | |Dede|: ntfsfix comes with the ntfsprogs package | 19:19 |
| fryguy | toffer_dif: ffmpeg has provider better performance and quality in my experience | 19:20 |
| ikonia | Azureus: why are you setting up ssh keys for the root user | 19:20 |
| ikonia | Azureus: ubuntu locks the root user | 19:20 |

| AnythingJe | Hey guys, I'm trying to get Ushare to work (streaming to my xbox360) It runs fine, but the xbox times out when it tries to connect (it can see it, just can't connect). I don't have iptables, and I've disabled ufw... any ideas what it could be? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | Uplink: ok - then leave it 10 - 15 minutes between repeats | 19:23 |
| tarelerulz | Thanks , fryguy , my Friend is hardcore windows user and not someone that really wants to switch if he can't undo thing in case he don't like it. That is why I ask about all that. I know with Ubuntu there are lot of way to try it out . I don't know other then how to install it and run it. | 19:23 |
| tripitakit | Uplink: but it's not polite to repeat so often a question... pls wait someone to answer | 19:24 |
| fryguy | tarelerulz: i'm a windows user as well, glad i could help | 19:24 |
| ikonia | Azureus: that tutorial is doe debian not ubuntu, ubuntu has some differences with regard to the root user | 19:24 |
| ghostlines | how to get postfix to send mail via port 587 | 19:24 |
| rdw200169_ | AnythingJe: It might be the default iptables drop policy | 19:24 |
| rdw200169_ | AnythingJe: you can't get rid of iptables | 19:24 |
| AnythingJe | /etc/init.d/iptables start | 19:24 |
| AnythingJe | bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: No such file or directory\ | 19:24 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: iptables has no policy defined by default | 19:24 |
| |Dede| | fryguy: What should I enter as "device"? I tried "System" and "/media/sda1" of which both wont work :S | 19:24 |
| Azureus | Ikonia: can you suggest me an easy to follow tutorial, if it's not too much that i ask ofc ...:) | 19:25 |
| fryguy | |Dede|: if your partition is sda1, it would be /dev/sda1 | 19:25 |
| rdw200169_ | AnythingJe: ikonia: no, ubuntu, by default, implements iptables drop on input,output,forward | 19:25 |
| |Dede| | fryguy: thanks | 19:25 |
| tripitakit | |Dede|: </dev/sda1 | 19:25 |
| ikonia | Azureus: I don't know of one off the top of my head | 19:25 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: default policy on my install is none | 19:25 |
| rdw200169_ | ikonia: there's no such thing as that | 19:25 |
| rdw200169_ | ikonia: check the output of iptables -L | 19:25 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: I just did | 19:25 |
| AnythingJe | so how do I change that to allow all (I'm within a network, so will be fine)? And why don't I have an /etc/init.d/iptables? | 19:25 |
| Cipher | hey guys | 19:26 |
| rdw200169_ | ikonia: so you have a line like Chain INPUT (policy DROP) | 19:26 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: no | 19:26 |
| rdw200169_ | ikonia: then the iptables kernel modules aren't loaded | 19:26 |
| Cipher | anyone know how to make my ubuntu810 support plug and play usb harddriver | 19:26 |

| rdw200169_ | ikonia: it's bad not to have any firewall whatsoever | 19:27 |
| tripitakit | ikonia: fast | 19:27 |
| fryguy | default iptables on my system is drop on input/output/forward as well | 19:27 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: I have network related firewalls, not host based | 19:27 |
| AnythingJe | would "ufw disable" do the trick? does ufw work by creating iptables rules for me? or are they two separate firewalls that both have to be disabled? | 19:27 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: and thats the default ubuntu install | 19:27 |
| rdw200169_ | look, i'm not arguing this | 19:28 |
| ikonia | rdw200169_: neither am I | 19:28 |

| AnythingJe | musikgoat: awesome great, so "ufw status" gives me "Firewall not loaded" should imply that I allow all connections, right? | 19:30 |
| musikgoat | AnythingJe: yes | 19:30 |
| AnythingJe | Guess that still doesn't explain why my xbox times out when it tries to connect to Ushare :-/ | 19:30 |
| kaos_nk2 | is there a way to control the file manager that automount is used with on ubuntu? | 19:31 |

| kaos_nk2 | I'd like to replace nautilus with rox-filer | 19:31 |
| Entied | Is there a webcam which works straigh out of the box? | 19:31 |
| fryguy | kaos_nk2: automounting happens at the filesystem level, any filemanager you use will show the effects of it | 19:31 |
| musikgoat | AnythingJe: does the xbox see the ushare? | 19:31 |
| joaopinto | Entied, Logitech E3500 | 19:32 |
| tarelerulz | TI can see it I have sen tutorial about doing just that. | 19:32 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: maybe u mean the default file manager | 19:32 |
| paul68 | musikgoat: do you know the command for showing your ipfonfig with default gateway? | 19:32 |
| kaos_nk2 | tripitakit: quite possibly | 19:32 |
| ikonia | paul__: netstat -rn | 19:32 |
| fryguy | paul__: use route to show the default gateway | 19:32 |
| paul68 | ikonia: thanks | 19:32 |
| rdw200169_ | paul__: or ip route | 19:32 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: so the question is how to make rox you default file manager | 19:32 |
| === john is now known as Guest85702 | ||
| kaos_nk2 | tripitakit: I don't suppose merely removing nautilus would help? | 19:32 |
| kaos_nk2 | tripitakit: so it seems, yes | 19:32 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: no it wont helo | 19:32 |

| |neon| | how do i install a gtk theme under gnome? | 19:33 |
| kaos_nk2 | tripitakit: so, where is the default file manager defined? | 19:33 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: at the moment i cant remember | 19:33 |
| ikonia | |neon|: open the look and feel menu and drag the theme in | 19:33 |
| kaos_nk2 | ah, alright | 19:33 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: i'd look for it.. | 19:33 |
| fryguy | |neon|: one way is to put it under ~/.themes and it will show up in the preferences | appearance dialog | 19:33 |
| |neon| | kaos_nk2: thx | 19:33 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: but i'm sure if u google fo that quetion u'll find it out | 19:33 |
| Guest85702 | lost all files on my desktop dropped to a root shell and i can see them with the ls command. I also can't currently view or write anything to my desktop any ideas on how to fix it? | 19:33 |

| ikonia | Guest85702: define lost all files | 19:33 |
| ikonia | Guest85702: what happened | 19:33 |
| rdw200169_ | Guest85702: you gotta kill nautilus | 19:34 |
| kaos_nk2 | well I saw some examples of replacing nautilus with other file managers, but most of them were scripts used in place of nautilus, there must be a way to define the default file maanger? | 19:34 |
| Guest85702 | there no longer appear on my desktop | 19:34 |
| tripitakit | kaos_nk2: funny, one reason for me to upgrade to interpid is the tabbin in nautilus! | 19:34 |
| musikgoat | AnythingJe: can you pastebin your ushare.conf? | 19:34 |
| rdw200169_ | Guest85702: when you kill nautilus it'll restart on it's own | 19:34 |

| fryguy | |neon|: do what i said before, put it into your ~/.themes directory and it will show up in the dialog (if it's just gtk and not a whole theme you will need to click customize and find it there) | 19:36 |
| ikonia | |neon|: |neon| then it's not a valid theme file | 19:36 |

| Frogging101 | fryguy: where do I find steam? | 19:41 |
| fryguy | bombshelter13: because networkmanager isn't running until you log in | 19:41 |
| Hoj0 | you probably need the true type font for the program you want to use in wine | 19:41 |
| Frogging101 | where do i get the fonts | 19:42 |

| DiiPhantom | yea | 19:46 |

| illissius | Q: in a VT, in env | grep -i lang I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8, but if I do the same in konsole in KDE, I only have LANGUAGE=en_US, which means my KDE session isn't using UTF8 | 20:03 |

| fryguy | DiiPhantom: put them into ~/.themes | 20:05 |
| === Neurolysis__ is now known as Neurolysis | ||

| DiiPhantom | where i do though? i know of gnome-look but its like people just go and dump things there, i dont see something like an application for them | 20:06 |
| Cloffy | Hi there, I have a couple of ubuntu problems I wanted to check out | 20:06 |
| musikgoat | paul68: and what is the output of ifconfig? | 20:06 |
| DiiPhantom | whats gtk1 and gtk2? | 20:06 |
| fryguy | DiiPhantom: you download a theme, put it into ~/.themes | 20:06 |
| bruenig | they are tool kits, one came before the other one, guess which | 20:06 |
| DiiPhantom | ok | 20:06 |
| Cloffy | I re-graded from Kubuntu, and now my mouse pointers are screwed up and changing from what they were in Kubuntu to like this Ubuntu theme | 20:07 |

| michalski-bj | hello can? anyone recommend a graphical GPG manager | 20:07 |
| un | Cloffy: plenty of other 'less vague rooms for your topic' | 20:07 |
| PsynoKhi0 | looking for opinions at to why ubuntuzilla can't write to .gnupg when I'm the owner of that folder, note that ls -al will only show ??? instead of privileges unless I drop a sudo in front | 20:08 |
| bcurtiswx | hey all, in intrepid how do i set my hostname and domainname, | 20:08 |
| Cloffy | un, yeah? | 20:08 |
| un | Cloffy: are you having a problem with ubuntu? | 20:08 |
| Cloffy | yupp | 20:08 |
| Cloffy | un, yes, I am | 20:08 |
| un | bcurtiswx: the file /etc/hostname | 20:08 |
| bcurtiswx | un, ty | 20:09 |
| un | Cloffy: what's your problem? | 20:09 |
| PsynoKhi0 | bcurtiswx: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts I think | 20:09 |
| === d0netsFN is now known as d0nets | ||
| un | bcurtiswx: PsynoKhi0 is right | 20:09 |
| PsynoKhi0 | bcurtiswx: changing them can make you lose sudo though afaik, be careful | 20:09 |
| Cloffy | un, I have several. The first would be minor but irritating: the mouse pointers keep changing among two themes. And the application for setting them doesn't really work. | 20:09 |
| russell__ | how do I log in to add name to my account? | 20:10 |
| bcurtiswx | PsynoKhi0, really.. lose sudo... seems odd | 20:10 |
| xcerca | anybody know how i can transfer pics and movies to my psp in ubuntu ? | 20:10 |
| un | Cloffy: when the pointer changes like that, it is due to the program that's controlling it (which might give it an X11 pointer, a KDE pointer, or a GNOME pointer) | 20:10 |
| PsynoKhi0 | bcurtiswx: didn't happen to me but read about it a couple of times | 20:10 |
| un | Cloffy: try changing your mouse themes across all environments | 20:10 |
| droopsta915 | should i disable proprietary drivers? | 20:11 |
| fryguy | no | 20:11 |
| Cloffy | un, like... how? I mean... in, say, skype it changes to a KDE theme... but how can I stop that? | 20:11 |
| un | droopsta915: not unless you want some of your hardware to stop working :) | 20:11 |
| droopsta915 | fryguy: is that for me? | 20:11 |
| bcurtiswx | PsynoKhi0, may i pm you? | 20:11 |
| fryguy | droopsta915: yes | 20:11 |
| droopsta915 | ok thanks | 20:11 |
| Cloffy | un, I re-graded from Kubuntu to Ubuntu | 20:11 |
| un | Cloffy: ccsm (compizconfig-settingsmanager) can set a universal mouse theme I think... | 20:12 |
| Cloffy | un, ok, let's check it out | 20:12 |
| PsynoKhi0 | bcurtiswx: at your own risks | 20:12 |
| un | Cloffy: systemsettings, for kde mouse, gnome-appearances, for gnome mouse, xfce4-control-panel, for X11 mouse | 20:12 |
| fryguy | .Xdefaults can as well | 20:12 |
| musikgoat | Cloffy: how did you "re-grade" | 20:12 |

| \Kira | my ubutnu server isnt recognizing anything when I put a disk in. I know the machine tends to not automount things... How could I mount the cd? | 20:14 |
| daMaestro | w00t | 20:14 |
| Cloffy | musikgoat, ubottu, ok, I'll check it out - but I got rid of all KDE I could in Synaptics (except for some important looking libraries) | 20:14 |
| fryguy | \Kira: use the mount command | 20:14 |
| daMaestro | so there is a new driver for the BCM4328 ... what's it's name/upstream? | 20:15 |
| un | \Kira: sudo mount /cdrom | 20:15 |
| michalski-bj | can anyone here point me in the direction of a good gui for gpg key management | 20:15 |
| Cloffy | musikgoat, ubottu, un: I don't want to get rid of some of my KDE applications though :p | 20:15 |
| \Kira | fryguy: yeah, I know that part, but I dont know the device location | 20:15 |
| un | michalski-bj: kde-look.org: qgpg | 20:15 |
| fryguy | \Kira: /dev/cdrom, though it should be in your fstab so you don't need to specify it | 20:15 |
| michalski-bj | un: thank you | 20:15 |
| \Kira | un: mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist.. It doesnt seem to find it | 20:15 |
| musikgoat | Cloffy: oh, well, that command removes a ton of un-needed stuffs, skip what you wish | 20:16 |
| un | Cloffy: then use compiz to set a universal mouse theme, or the applications i noted above... | 20:16 |
| \Kira | fryguy: /dev/cdrom doesnt exist | 20:16 |
| musikgoat | the libs and stuff are what could fix the mouse issue | 20:16 |
| daMaestro | is it just supported by the b43/fwcutter driver now? | 20:16 |
| Cloffy | un: yeah, I'm looking for it :) | 20:16 |
| un | \Kira: sounds like a hardware issue? didn't wiggle free did it? | 20:16 |
| fryguy | \Kira: look at dmesg and /var/log/messages and make sure the cdrom was actually detected | 20:16 |
| musikgoat | Cloffy: un's advice may be the easiest solution | 20:16 |
| \Kira | fryguy: okay | 20:16 |
| rien | hi guys, i've got a really strange problem with cups and windows. i can print from windows using a cups printer, but it doesnt work from word2007 | 20:17 |
| \Kira | un: well, I have 3 different drives that ive tried on two different computers, and neither work, mabye Its something im doing... Im gonna look at dmesg, one sec | 20:17 |
| rien | i mean, i can print the testpage, from acrobat reader, from an editor but not from word 2007 | 20:17 |
| musikgoat | paul68: did you get things worked out? i was waiting to see your ifconfig to confirm your eth0 and eth1 info | 20:18 |
| Cloffy | musikgoat, un: I double checked but am still unable to find how to change the pointers in CompizConfig :-/ | 20:18 |
| lorenzo | hi, some of my applets disappeared from the icon tray. Like the network manager, and even deluge, amule, rhythmbox wont appear up there. how do i fix it please? thanks a lot | 20:18 |
| un | rien: cuz word 2007 sucks... :? i dunno tho, i just had to say that... | 20:18 |
| rien | un: lol thanks for the highlight -_- | 20:19 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: lost connection can you please post your remarks again thanks | 20:19 |
| un | Cloffy: google it, i think it's under the General Settings page... you have to know the X11 mouse theme name... | 20:19 |
| defo_ | hi | 20:19 |
| Cloffy | un, oh, yeah, I remembered - I did that.... didn't work | 20:20 |
| \Kira | un, fryguy: I didn't find anything in dmesg that resembled a cd drive, but I dont know exactly were to look. I think this is a problem ill try on the forums, because its been bothering me for the longest time and I havnt gotten around the fixing it. | 20:20 |
| musikgoat | paul687: paste your ifconfig output | 20:20 |
| \Kira | un, fryguy: thanks for the help | 20:20 |
| defo_ | how do I mount a .bin CD rom image, it has no .cue file, i've tried to mount it with loopback but it says the filesystem is not iso9660 :( | 20:20 |
| fryguy | \Kira: is the drive detected in BIOS? | 20:20 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: from the server or my laptop? | 20:20 |
| un | Cloffy: that's wierd, might have typed it wrong, it's case-space-special charachter sensitive, for some reason... try the other apps i mentioned, they make it easier... | 20:20 |
| \Kira | fryguy: well, the server is headless, so I cant currently look | 20:20 |
| musikgoat | paul687: from the server/router | 20:21 |
| fryguy | \Kira: no serial console that can look at the bios? | 20:21 |
| un | defo_: try poweriso... | 20:21 |
| \Kira | fryguy: I wouldn't know, I dont know anything about serial consoles | 20:21 |
| Jordan_U | lorenzo: Try right clicking the pannel -> Add to pannel -> Notification area | 20:21 |
| Cloffy | un, I did just now, I typed in the right name, hit Enter, the pointer changed in that window, but moving out of the window it changed back again | 20:21 |
| Cloffy | un, maybe I just need a compiz --restart | 20:22 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72519/ | 20:22 |
| un | Cloffy: yea, i dunno, that's wierd, might be an artifact from your upgrade... my mouse theme is universal... | 20:22 |
| un | Cloffy: no compiz --restart wont help... | 20:22 |
| Cloffy | un: oh, ok | 20:22 |
| un | Cloffy: maybe an X11 restart? but i doubt it... restart X11 with Ctrl+Alt+Bkspc | 20:23 |
| Cloffy | un: I have had several restarts since the install - no good | 20:23 |
| lorenzo | Jordan_U, awesome, that fixed it! thanks a lot! | 20:23 |
| Cloffy | un: besides, it looks like it's half this theme half that | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U | lorenzo: np | 20:24 |
| musikgoat | paul687: is this machine intending to be a bridge? | 20:24 |
| Cloffy | un: just checked: hovering over OpenOffice's menu and title bar - the pointers change accordingly | 20:25 |
| Oprtz | somebody please have a look on the link, why i get this error, i can use my internal camera with ekiga but... http://unhabitat.org.pk/hr | 20:25 |
| fryguy | musikgoat: it wouldn't be a bridge, it would be a router | 20:25 |

| krypt0h | hi. i managed to get the 8.04 alternate cd on a usb drive, and it boots from it | 20:25 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: no the purpose is that I connect from lan towards my server and practise with iptables | 20:25 |
| musikgoat | fryguy: ok, i'm just wondering why he isn't using a general .1 addess for the lan side | 20:26 |
| krypt0h | the only problem is that the installer cannot detect a cdrom and the installer fails | 20:26 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: the layout of my network is as follows isp router eth0 server eth1 switch with wifi | 20:26 |
| fryguy | musikgoat: because he has no idea what he's doing | 20:26 |
| musikgoat | fryguy: fair enough, paul687 ok, thanks, one sec | 20:26 |
| musikgoat | paul687: is eth0 and eth1 static? | 20:27 |
| paul687 | fryguy: I know I'm not that smart but I'm trying to figure this out so bare with me | 20:27 |
| fryguy | paul687: and you have your kernel configured to do packet routing on eth1 right? and a dhcp client to hand out address to devices connected on the eth1 switch | 20:27 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: hold on | 20:28 |
| krypt0h | anyone know how i can get the installer to look on the usb drive for the files rather than a cdrom? | 20:28 |
| musikgoat | if so, for your sake and others, set eth1 to 192.168.1.1, fryguy dhcpd doesn't really have to be running | 20:28 |
| paul687 | fryguy: dhcp is configured | 20:28 |
| crazy3k | Does anyone know how do I know the IP of the router I'm connected to? I want to access it's configuration via web. | 20:28 |
| musikgoat | fryguy: at least to get things started | 20:29 |
| Cloffy | OK, next problem - is there a way to have Compiz running, but still to have an old-school Alt-Tab without any darn thumbnails? | 20:29 |
| Nubbie | krypt0h: download an ibex net installer | 20:29 |
| === david is now known as Guest30377 | ||
| === Guest30377 is now known as __david | ||
| fryguy | Cloffy: ccsm can configure pretty much every aspect of compiz that you want | 20:29 |
| No1 | crazy3k :- portforwarding.com | 20:29 |
| Cloffy | fryguy: yeah, I know, but tweeking that never solved the problem | 20:29 |
| fryguy | Cloffy: then you are out of luck | 20:30 |
| PiraTaG | hi | 20:30 |
| PiraTaG | hola | 20:30 |
| PiraTaG | xD | 20:30 |
| Cloffy | fryguy, the thumbnails won't go away :) | 20:30 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: eth0 and eth1 are static | 20:30 |
| Cloffy | fryguy, and turning the crap off leaves me with no Alt-Tab | 20:30 |
| fryguy | Cloffy: then you are out of luck | 20:30 |
| krypt0h | Nubbie: whats that? isn't there an option i can pass at boot time? | 20:30 |
| PiraTaG | como instalo el efecto berly en mi ubuntu? | 20:30 |

| enterusername | does anyone here use CCONTROL and ubuntu with distcc" | 20:30 |
| jannott | Phuck! I just deleted /boot folder :O | 20:30 |
| paul687 | musikgoat:just a remark if I put eth1 to 192.168.1.1 doesn4't this interfear with the wifi that has as gw 192.168.1.1? | 20:31 |
| fryguy | paul687: right | 20:31 |
| poppy75 | hey, how can i list all the mysql user accounts? | 20:32 |
| musikgoat | paul687: the wifi is not giving out IP's is it? you have it set to AP mode? | 20:32 |
| fryguy | poppy75: ask in #mysql | 20:32 |
| poppy75 | fryguy i did but noone answered | 20:32 |
| un | Cloffy: disable all the switcher plugins in compiz (ring, switcher, box switch, etc...) | 20:32 |
| fryguy | poppy75: that doesn't give you an excuse to ask in here | 20:32 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: true but since the default gw is 192.168.1.1 I'm getting in trouble right | 20:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | poppy75: just select users from the mysql.user table | 20:32 |
| musikgoat | paul687: you don't have to have the eth1 be .1 but in normal conventions, you set the gw for your lan (eth1) to .1 | 20:32 |
| kri | do i have to run gconf-editor as root to get the changes to apply? | 20:32 |
| Cloffy | un, that leaves me with no Alt-Tab at all | 20:33 |
| krypt0h | ok, so when i boot from the USB drive, what do i have to do to get it to not check the cdrom drive and just load everything off the usb drive? | 20:33 |
| poppy75 | fryguy yes because noone ever asks about applications in here | 20:33 |

| === Exodus is now known as ThrashMetal | ||
| un | Cloffy: say what? you install is flipped up, or their alt-tab won't go back to regular? | 20:35 |
| musikgoat | paul687: what do you mean the def gw is 1.1, on what device? the wifi should just be a switch on your lan, allowing the wireless and wired lan devices (all in the .1.x range) to talk, and all internet traffic should head for the def gw (eth1), which "should" be .1.1 | 20:35 |

| SANiK | Hello - would any of you know if there exists an AMD Ubuntu live CD that looks like Mac OS X | 20:39 |
| SANiK | I do know one can get Ubuntu to look like OS X, but I'm wondering if there's a premade live CD | 20:39 |
| dr_willis | SANiK, one was on 'distrowatch' just the other day.. not 64bit.. but it sure tried to look like OS-X | 20:39 |
| majnoon | how force disk check on next boot?? | 20:40 |
| paul687 | musikgoat: done that but still no go on pinging from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 | 20:40 |
| fryguy | SANiK: there is not, at least nothing officially sanctioned | 20:40 |
| dr_willis | SANiK, and its not 'official' :) and was 8.04 not 8.10 release based also.. but i did work | 20:40 |
| un | Cloffy: no... debian isn't what you want if you didn't get the mouse pointer thing... | 20:40 |

| _mortal | hi, Is there a good driver for WinModems? | 20:41 |
| un | Cloffy: maybe mint, or partition /home and / and /usr separate, that way you can change systems, but not settings, or lose your files... | 20:41 |
| dpick | is there a way to change to directory with a space in it with mc? | 20:41 |

| Annirak | Hi, I have a clean install of 8.10-server amd64. The CPU fan has been running at 100% since I installed and it's driving me crazy. The BIOS was not controlling the fan properly, but I figured that Ubuntu should be able to do the job. How can I get this fan under control? | 20:42 |
| musikgoat | paul687: PM ok? | 20:42 |
| === russell__ is now known as triphoppa | ||
| paul687 | musikgoat: ok | 20:42 |
| Cloffy | un: but are the settings that universal? won't different distributions have different... ideas about where things should be? | 20:42 |
| Cloffy | un: ok, that was a silly question :p | 20:42 |
| GSMX | fryguy: i know, but are there any must-have feautures rhythmbox or banshee don't have? | 20:43 |
| fryguy | GSMX: no idea. try it out and see if you prefer it over other players | 20:43 |
| dpick | GSMX: its pretty buggy, and doesn't really any features amorak doesn't | 20:43 |
| dpick | GSMX: it just looks like itunes | 20:44 |
| GSMX | i saw it's not in the normal repos :/ | 20:44 |
| GSMX | they refer to getdeb.com | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | Cloffy: There are relatively few actual differences between distributions, they run almost all the same software with minor differences in version / patches | 20:44 |
| fryguy | Jordan_U: i would offer a differing opinion to that | 20:44 |
| Cloffy | Jordan_U: yeah, I sorta realize that. I was just wondering about, say GUI settings... | 20:45 |
| rdw200169_ | GSMX: they just released a new beta, it's pretty interesting | 20:45 |
| owen1 | how to install only the minimum when using aptitude install? | 20:45 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 20:45 |
| Jordan_U | Cloffy: Gnome is Gnome, Compiz is Compiz. | 20:45 |
| Neodemi | has anyone here ever successfully used gnomoradio/ | 20:45 |
| meoblast001 | i have a hardy haron ISO.. how do i use it as an upgrade medium wihout burning it? | 20:46 |
| rdw200169_ | GSMX: if you just get the tarball, it will run from the expanded tarball without any 'make' | 20:46 |
| vicky_ | does anyone know the name of that tool that reads broken partitions and recovers files? Its like disk tools | 20:46 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: mount it on loopback device | 20:46 |
| rdw200169_ | GSMX: it's a good way to see if you want it or not | 20:46 |
| meoblast001 | fryguy: how | 20:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | meoblast001 you dont unless it is the server edition that you have | 20:46 |
| GSMX | rdw200169_: that's how i came there :P but if dpick says it has a itunes like interface, i'm not going to try it, itunes sucks | 20:46 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: using the mount command, read the manpage | 20:46 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 20:46 |
| Cloffy | Jordan_U: but evidently I have run into some compiz problems while switching from KDE to GNOME | 20:46 |
| meoblast001 | and its alternative | 20:46 |
| rdw200169_ | GSMX: the best 'music' player i've used is foobar2000, using wine, it's not without it's difficulties, though, getting working straight in linux | 20:47 |
| fryguy | i use foobar2000 as well, but in windows, not via wine | 20:47 |
| enterusername | does anyone use CCONTROL in compilign | 20:47 |
| enterusername | i cant get it to work its saying Failed to create pipe:24 | 20:47 |
| dpick | GSMX: foobar2000 is awesome, its what i use on windows, i use moc (music on cosole) in linux | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | meoblast001 if the disk is alt then you can add it as a source and upgrade | 20:47 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 20:48 |
| meoblast001 | but its not a disk... its an ISO | 20:48 |
| meoblast001 | i dont have any more blank cd's | 20:48 |
| rdw200169_ | dpick: GSMX; well it's possible to use it in ubuntu ;) | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | !iso | meoblast001 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | meoblast001: 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. | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | meoblast001 you can mount an iso, but way easier to spend a nickel and burn a cd | 20:48 |
| dminor_ | wadddup! | 20:48 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: why not just upgrade through the upgrade manager and download packages, are you worried about bandwidth usage or something? | 20:48 |
| enterusername | where can i find documentation on cc? | 20:48 |
| dpick | rdw200169: i tried it via wine, i just don't really like using wine | 20:48 |
| GSMX | wine always has some kind of buggy feel | 20:49 |
| dminor_ | does anyone know how to revoke execute privelages? | 20:49 |
| fryguy | dminor_: chmod -x | 20:49 |
| dminor_ | i mean for an entire user | 20:49 |
| fryguy | dminor_: not possible | 20:49 |
| meoblast001 | fryguy: i hate having to download a lot of data and slow down my internet connection | 20:49 |
| rdw200169_ | dpick: GSMX, like i said, it's not without it's difficulties | 20:49 |
| dminor_ | i thought maybe you could give them aliases for what they need to run | 20:49 |
| dminor_ | someone said you could | 20:49 |
| fryguy | dminor_: then you would need to execute the contents of those aliases | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | dminor_: disable the account. | 20:50 |
| fryguy | dminor_: and you would need to execute a shell | 20:50 |
| rdw200169_ | dpick: GSMX, regardless, in my perspective, it was worth it | 20:50 |
| dminor_ | ? | 20:50 |
| triphoppa | hello | 20:50 |
| triphoppa | I registered this nick but I cant speak in the ##C chan how do I speak? | 20:50 |
| rdw200169_ | dpick: GSMX, on top of everything, foobar is by far the fastest at scanning a collection | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | dminor_: if the user can not execute anything the account/computer is useless | 20:51 |
| dminor_ | you can do this in windows | 20:51 |
| GSMX | rdw200169_: true | 20:51 |
| dminor_ | well in windows there are parental controls | 20:51 |
| fryguy | dminor_: well you can't do it in linux | 20:51 |
| dminor_ | you can disable all programs but the ones that you want the user to run | 20:51 |
| dminor_ | in vista at least | 20:51 |
| rdw200169_ | dpick GSMX, but exaile and songbird are picking up quick | 20:51 |
| triphoppa | how do you "speak" in another chan? | 20:52 |
| dminor_ | what irc client? | 20:52 |
| meoblast001 | uhhhh software sources manager cant find the new cd | 20:52 |
| fryguy | !upgrade | meoblast001 | 20:52 |
| ubottu | meoblast001: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 20:52 |
| triphoppa | xchat | 20:53 |
| dminor_ | sorry no idea, did you try /join ing a channel? | 20:54 |
| dminor_ | like /join #linux | 20:54 |
| triphoppa | I'm in the chan but I cant speak | 20:54 |
| dminor_ | i use esc + 1,2,3 | 20:54 |
| seronis | can someone refer me to a good irc client for ubuntu that lets you turn off all the stupid system messages and supports ctrl+tab for switching between channels ? | 20:54 |
| dminor_ | to switch windows | 20:54 |
| meoblast001 | i did that | 20:55 |
| dminor_ | seronis, irssi is good, but like i said you have to use esc + 1,2,3 for swithcing channels | 20:55 |
| meoblast001 | and it doenst prompt me to upgrade | 20:55 |
| meoblast001 | software sources manager cant find the cd | 20:55 |
| fryguy | dminor_: or alt, or ctrl-n ctrl-p | 20:55 |
| fryguy | dminor_: or alt + arrow keys | 20:55 |

| Xtreme_Great | I got a D-Link DWL G122 wireless card, and I can't make its promiscuous mode work in Ubuntu Hardy | 21:08 |
| moshdj2uk | After upgrading (downgrading?) to 8.10 today, I have no sound, no wireless network, pidgin crashes constantly, and more. eth0 is working, just. After a minute or so, the connect halts, but doesn't drop. Why is my networking buggered up and how do I get my wireless working again? | 21:08 |
| meoblast001 | if i have to deal with this crap i just wont upgrade | 21:08 |
| Xtreme_Great | I checked ubuntuforums, and found that rt-73 (it was something like that) would work. Installed that. Even installed the linux-wlan-ng, but all in vain. Nothing works.. What should I do? | 21:09 |
| fryguy | Xtreme_Great: so find a set of drivers that support promiscous mode and install those | 21:09 |
| meoblast001 | brb im gonna restart | 21:09 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: seems like a perfectly reasonable option | 21:09 |

| moshdj2uk | Jordan_U: Already done, with very little luck. :( | 21:10 |
| Xtreme_Great | fryguy: That's what I'm asking: Which one would work, because the tech support says that the chipset is not present to support monitor mode, but i found out on ubuntuforums that it was working for them. Rather it's a prism chipset. Technically that should work. Isn't that? | 21:10 |
| fryguy | dminor_: the same way you create a shortcut to anything else, xterm is probably in /usr/bin/ | 21:10 |
| le000 | it still doesnt works | 21:10 |
| fryguy | Xtreme_Great: no, different chipsets work differently | 21:11 |

| deathtech | Im having a really hard time with getting my wireless set to start at boot, I have followed multiple tutorials, and for some reason i just cant get it to come up. I have to log in locally through gnome and use network manager to connect. I use this Machine as a toy, so i can browse the web and goof off at work, so obviously it is quite important to me | 21:25 |
| fryguy | dminor_: unsure if that's an option in metacity or compiz, but there are dozens of window managers available. You can certainly find one that has the features that you want | 21:25 |
| dr_willis | dminor_, thats normally a window maanger feature.. not seen that in any of them lately.. there may be a way.. but ive not seen it. | 21:25 |
| Basmati | &quit | 21:25 |
| funkyHat | Guest12703: I guess you've tried playing with all the settings in the network manager applet? Sorry I'm a little stuck for ideas here, there's a request on brainstorm that seems related http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/14688/ | 21:26 |
| fryguy | deathtech: networkmanager doesn't start until gnome starts, so you need to log in. if you want your wireless interface to be up before that, look at iwconfig, /etc/network/interfaces, and iwconfig | 21:26 |
| dminor_ | what is a minimalistic window manager that has tiling? | 21:26 |

| root_ | i have issues with some apps that only wanna run as root and it would be easier to just transfer all to root | 21:53 |
| ikonia | CoJaBo: yes, thats just a stripe size, you'll find that won't make a difference unless you mirror it into your raid stripe sizes | 21:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | root_: just use sudo | 21:54 |
| csilk | root_, deffinatly not a good idea | 21:54 |
| Billy | root_, stupid question, but how do I load up a terminal without actually logging in? | 21:54 |
| Billy | cd only way? | 21:54 |
| CaptainCanuck | guys whats the equivalent of System> Administration> Network for 8.10? | 21:54 |
| root_ | i know its not a good idea but i wanna try it out | 21:54 |
| ikonia | Billy: what ? | 21:54 |
| scientes | X resumes to a screen but is frozen, cant log in in terminal, read errors on every activity | 21:54 |
| ikonia | Billy: how do you expect to launch a terminal without logging in | 21:54 |
| fryguy | Billy: there are virtual terminals on 1-6, not sure if that's useful to you or not | 21:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Billy: crtl + alt + f1 | 21:54 |
| root_ | yeah ctrl+alt+f1 | 21:54 |
| Billy | i can't see the screen due to graphics | 21:54 |
| scientes | Nvidia SATA controller card | 21:54 |
| fryguy | scientes: known issue in some suspend configurations, the uuid of the drive changes on resume | 21:54 |
| fryguy | Billy: ctrl-alt-f1 | 21:54 |
| CaptainCanuck | root_ whats the equivalent of System> Administration> Network for 8.10? | 21:54 |
| vasil | hi guys | 21:54 |
| Billy | ctrl alt f1 should give me a terminal | 21:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | root_: dont use something stupid like a root for yur work, just use sudo | 21:54 |
| csilk | root_, "try it out"? it's going to be exactly the same only you will be logged in as root | 21:55 |
| ikonia | Billy: boot into "safe" or "recovery" mode from the grub menu | 21:55 |
| csilk | what is there to try? | 21:55 |
| Billy | right, im going for it, back soon to tell how it went | 21:55 |
| Billy | ikonia, ahh yeah, thanks | 21:55 |
| Billy | be back | 21:55 |
| scientes | fryguy, so maybe would fix if i mounted by /dev/sxx??? | 21:55 |
| root_ | it's all pretty much the same | 21:55 |
| csilk | root_, yeah, just much more dangerous | 21:55 |
| root_ | comapred to what ? | 21:55 |
| fryguy | scientes: no idea | 21:55 |
| csills | Hello anybody familiar with midi playback for firefox on ubuntu? | 21:55 |
| * Chiselhuk_Plus1 wonders if she's invisible and what she'll do with her new powers! | 21:55 | |
| root_ | yeah im willing to be dangerous for my stuff to work | 21:55 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !root | root_ | 21:55 |
| vasil | anyone up for a challenge? | 21:55 |
| ubottu | root_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:55 |
| ikonia | Chiselhuk_Plus1: we don't need to see you wonder that in this support channel please | 21:55 |
| CoJaBo | ikonia: Is there a way to find out is Ext4 supports it? I'd guess it would since it is based on Ext3, but is the command to do Ext4 any different? | 21:55 |
| CaptainCanuck | root_: my problem is the exact same as this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-863724.html | 21:56 |
| ikonia | CoJaBo: read the man page | 21:56 |
| csilk | root_, your stuff will work without being dangerous | 21:56 |
| ikonia | CoJaBo: thats all I've just done | 21:56 |
| CaptainCanuck | except i cant find System> Administration> Network | 21:56 |
| CoJaBo | ikonia: Which one or ones should I read? | 21:56 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | ikonia:: I asked a question and got no reply, is why I'm asking. :) | 21:56 |
| root_ | where does the root home directory reside? | 21:56 |
| fryguy | root_: /root/ | 21:56 |
| csilk | root_, /root | 21:56 |
| root_ | ok cool | 21:56 |
| csilk | root_, what wont work as a normal user, I'm sure there is a simple way to fix it | 21:57 |
| * dr_willis finds its scary that someone running as root.. is asking those kind of questions... | 21:57 | |
| dr_willis | :) | 21:57 |
| ikonia | Chiselhuk_Plus1: as I said - we don't need to see you ponder it, ask a question and wait for a reponse, filling up the channel with more noise makes other peoples questions get lost | 21:57 |
| root_ | i cant remember lol but it would make life easier just running as root | 21:57 |
| csills | * I run ubuntu apps as root sometimes | 21:57 |
| yereth | hi guys | 21:57 |
| csilk | root_, it will ultimatly lead to life being harder running as root | 21:57 |
| root_ | oh | 21:57 |
| root_ | i dont see how | 21:57 |
| yereth | I just installed ubuntu 8.10, instead of kubuntu 8.04 | 21:57 |
| vasil | was wondering if someone could help? - got vaio vgn-nr330e running on ubuntu 8.10 but wireless is not working | 21:58 |
| ikonia | yereth: install the package kubuntu-desktop if you want it to be like kubuntu | 21:58 |
| yereth | and now I am experiencing very shaky graphics in urbanterror, a quake 3 mod | 21:58 |
| csilk | root_, one wrong/bad command etc and game over for your installation | 21:58 |
| matthieu_ | hi | 21:58 |
| yereth | ikonia: no.. I'm just having trouble with my graphics | 21:58 |
| csills | anyway does anybody know much about getting midi playback going on ubuntu? | 21:58 |
| fryguy | yereth: so install a graphics driver that supports 3d acceleration | 21:58 |
| yereth | I have the nvidia restricted drivers installed | 21:58 |
| CaptainCanuck | root_ basically i want to know how to change a DNS address on intrepid | 21:58 |
| dr_willis | root_, i dont see how it makes it easier... but do what you want.. take a hammer to your pc if you want. :) we dont care.. | 21:58 |
| yereth | and I get a steady 60 fps, which is capped | 21:59 |
| yereth | but it still looks shaky | 21:59 |
| yereth | without frame droppings | 21:59 |
| fryguy | CaptainCanuck: edit /etc/resolv.conf, but you should find the cause of the problem though, because it will reset on you | 21:59 |
| root_ | yeah i run windows in the same machine without an anti-virus as i run as admin on that, i'm a safe guy | 21:59 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Wot software can I use to resize a jpg file to make it smaller to email? :) | 21:59 |
| yereth | you guys have a clue how this could be? | 21:59 |
| CaptainCanuck | the cause is rogers, the fucking shit heads (its an ISP) | 21:59 |
| dr_willis | Chiselhuk_Plus1, gimp is handy | 21:59 |
| fryguy | Chiselhuk_Plus1: imagemagick | 21:59 |
| yereth | my videocard is by far good enough | 21:59 |
| root_ | so if i copy all files from /home/user on top of /root will everything like transfer over? | 21:59 |
| gva123 | hi all | 21:59 |
| paul__ | can somebody help me out with a nasty route problem on my server ? | 21:59 |
| csilk | root_, windows won't allow you to easily nuke itself, linux will | 21:59 |
| nothing12345 | Hi, could anyone help me with Counterstrike source? | 22:00 |
| fryguy | root_: when you blow up your system by running as root, don't come back here asking for help | 22:00 |
| yereth | can I tweak my xorg.conf to get a more steady performance? | 22:00 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | dr_willis: Thank u, I believe it's user friendly too? | 22:00 |
| root_ | hehe in windows just delete a random reg key and it will explode lol | 22:00 |
| === [baddog] is now known as baddog | ||

| dr_willis | Chiselhuk_Plus1, my wife can use it.. its a full featured image editor... | 22:00 |
| ikonia | vasil: mind your language please | 22:00 |
| root_ | hey its my system and i make images from time to time, i can just restore | 22:00 |
| gva123 | i have a dell d830 running interpid, i recently updated my bios and it seems that i brick the machine, does anyone have an idea how to recover? | 22:00 |
| nothing12345 | I have just 14 fps^^ | 22:00 |
| * csilk facepalms | 22:00 | |
| yereth | did anyone experience shaky graphics on urbanterror or another opengl game with 8.10? | 22:01 |
| fryguy | root_: have fun | 22:01 |
| csills | facepalms? | 22:01 |
| paul687 | ikonia can you give it a try to help me out with a route problem on my server? would be much appreciated | 22:01 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | dr_willis: Good to know your wife is a convert like me! lol | 22:01 |
| ikonia | paul687: what's the problem ? | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | root _ while its restoreing some day after you trash the system... youmay want to read up on bash/shell basics. :) | 22:01 |
| root_ | i don't see how it's dangerous running as root if you know what you're doing | 22:01 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | dr_willis: Thank you for your assistance! | 22:01 |
| csilk | root_, but you dont know what you're doing | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | root_, i dont think we are convinced you do know what you are doing. | 22:01 |
| btQuark | hello everybody | 22:01 |
| un | root_: cuz i can take over your computer from irc... that's why it's dangerous... lol | 22:01 |
| root_ | really... | 22:02 |
| yereth | no one can help me here? | 22:02 |
| yereth | :( | 22:02 |
| btQuark | did anyone try the radeon or radeonhd drivers here? | 22:02 |
| un | root_: yeah... root isn't a good idea... | 22:02 |
| tensei | Is there anyway to set the top gnome panel in ubuntu 8.04 back to default settings? Or do I have to manually do it? | 22:02 |
| Commie_Cary | yus | 22:02 |
| ikonia | yereth: what do you want ? | 22:02 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 22:02 |
| paul687 | ikonia: I have at this point the following setup isp dlink router with 192.168.0.1 eth0 ip 192.168.0.10 server eth1 with ip 192.168.1.1 linksys/ap | 22:02 |
| Commie_Cary | btQuark, no 3d accel | 22:02 |
| gva123 | i have a dell d830 running interpid, i recently updated my bios and it seems that i brick the machine, does anyone have an idea how to recover? | 22:02 |
| btQuark | i am suffering from that fucktarded fglrx driver and a firegl v5200 | 22:02 |
| ikonia | yereth: your using a closed source 4rd party driver | 22:02 |
| meoblast001 | i noticed a bug that made me very angry and i dont know where to post it at | 22:02 |
| paul687 | and can't connect from linksys to eth0 and vice versa | 22:02 |
| root_ | oh well im gonna risk it | 22:02 |
| sambagirl | if i use ubuntu desktop in stead of server, the only real difference is that the desktop is complete and graphicl as the server is watered down but i wont lose aything i should just gane more things right? | 22:02 |
| un | root_: i love when ppl do... | 22:02 |
| Commie_Cary | btQuark, it has no 3d acce; | 22:02 |
| yereth | ikonia: my graphics are extremely shaky on a quake 3 game, while I have nvidia drivers installed that came packaged with 8.10 and I do have a steady 60fps | 22:02 |
| un | root_: makes you learn more... good for ya | 22:03 |
| yereth | ikonia: I don't understand why it's still shaky :( | 22:03 |
| root_ | yeah it does | 22:03 |
| ikonia | yereth: as I said your using a 3rd party closed sourced driver.... | 22:03 |
| fryguy | sambagirl: the kernel is a bit different too | 22:03 |
| ikonia | paul687: sorry, explain that again, what's your router ip | 22:03 |
| meoblast001 | i was playing Sonic 3D Blast in Gens fullscreen opengl on.... i wanted to save my progrss so i exited fullscreen... as soon as i exited fullscreen, gnome screensaver started... gnome screensaver and opengl fought for top level rendering.. i tried typing in my password about 600 times and it kept telling me i was wrong... where should i file that bug at? | 22:03 |
| yereth | ikonia: yes, but yesterday it worked perfectly when I was still running kubuntu 8.10 | 22:03 |
| sambagirl | but it should still be able to do what i would do in server still yes? | 22:03 |
| root_ | thats why its so easy to become a master at learning windows, it messes up all the time so u get experience at fixing it | 22:03 |
| btQuark | Commie_Cary : i've read different things that starting from 1.2.3 radeonhd is supposed to have 3d and the manpage of radeon talks about dri too | 22:03 |
| ikonia | yereth: your using a different destop now | 22:03 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: launchpad | 22:03 |
| Commie_Cary | :O | 22:04 |
| yereth | ikonia: so I should just accept performance getting a downgrade? | 22:04 |
| Commie_Cary | btQuark, REALLY!?! | 22:04 |
| csilk | the aweful ting is, root_ may well run as root without ever nukeing his system making him believe root is the best way to run a linux machine, eventually that may translate into his future unix admin career where strangley the bank he works for loses millions thanks to an apache running as root error -_- | 22:04 |
| meoblast001 | fryguy: but under what? opengl, gens, or gnome-screensaver? | 22:04 |
| btQuark | and that fscking fglrx driver completeley fails on video+compiz | 22:04 |
| yereth | ikonia: or you suggest if I'd use KDE4 it could be different? | 22:04 |
| ikonia | yereth: no, I didn't say that, but go back to kubuntu and see if the desktop makes a difference | 22:04 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: it'll get put in the correct place (or likely just thrown away) | 22:04 |
| btQuark | Commie_Cary: no bs. read their manpages. radeonhd even has a ppa | 22:04 |
| yereth | ikonia: can try | 22:04 |
| Commie_Cary | btQuark, I know, im using that stinky flgx driver | 22:04 |
| meoblast001 | fryguy: why would it get thrown away? | 22:04 |
| btQuark | Commie_Cary: BUT on 8.10 they crash | 22:04 |
| paul687 | ikonia: the layout is as follows isp mode; => dlinkrouter with 192.168.0.1 eth0 with ip 192.168.0.10 server eth1 with 192.168.1.1 and linksys ap | 22:04 |
| fryguy | meoblast001: unsure | 22:04 |
| Commie_Cary | btQuark, awww | 22:04 |
| CoJaBo | Is it possible to even use Ext4 in Ubuntu? | 22:05 |
| meoblast001 | i thought i was gonna start having an i hate linux day today but i quickly forgave it | 22:05 |
| Commie_Cary | btQuark, but video+compiz issue can be fixed with VLC | 22:05 |
| ikonia | paul687: ok, so what's eth0 plugged into | 22:05 |
| === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs | ||
| Iamelite | I keep trying to use gparted, and whenever i unmount to make changes, it automatically remounts. (Xubuntu 8.10) | 22:05 |
| btQuark | at least the nvidia drivers work until you experience that fucking black window bug | 22:05 |
| Commie_Cary | use VLC, but on the VLC settings | 22:05 |
| Aero745 | Hello everyone, I have interpid thinkpad laptop and after reinstalling open office packages yesterday I noticed my sound stopped working today | 22:05 |

| fryguy | quentusrex: add the user in question to the group | 22:05 |
| nothing12345 | Does anyone here convert Videos for the PSP with MEncoder or ffmpeg? | 22:05 |
| fryguy | nothing12345: i build a 25 machine encoder farm at work that uses mencoder and ffmpeg | 22:06 |
| btQuark | Commie_Cary: it's like going back to stoneage cpu-based unaccelerated rendering by freewill | 22:06 |
| dr_willis | nothing12345, i have ages agoo.. followed some guide/faq i saw on the mplayer/mencoder faq/docs | 22:06 |
| btQuark | that actually created real load on my core duo whilst not looking too good | 22:06 |
| nothing12345 | hm | 22:06 |
| nothing12345 | I wanna convert vid's 4 the psp to h264 and aac | 22:07 |
| Aero745 | Hello everyone, I have interpid thinkpad laptop and after reinstalling open office packages yesterday I noticed my sound stopped working today | 22:07 |
| nothing12345 | I dont need a gui.. | 22:07 |
| paul687 | ikonia: and I can reach my server from that side and I can also reach my server when I am directly connected to the linksys | 22:07 |
| paul687 | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72559/ | 22:07 |
| nothing12345 | Does anyone have the perfect parameters 4 the psp? XD | 22:07 |
| dr_willis | nothing12345, what does a gui have to do with it.. :) i recall the mencoder faq mentioned how to covnet to psp video format. | 22:07 |
| ikonia | paul687: you've got 2 default routes | 22:08 |
| dr_willis | nothing12345, nothing is perfect.. i imagine i depends on your needs and the video you are convertring | 22:08 |
| nothing12345 | I just found "convert to MP4 - MP4 Codec" not to H264 | 22:08 |
| paul687 | ikonia: I also checked that when I have an ip 192.168.1.2 directly connected to eht1 I can ping eth1 and can also ping eth0 but can't ping dlink at 192.168.0.1 | 22:08 |
| billy | recovery mode fixed it, couldnt actually remove the package :) | 22:08 |
| Aero745 | Hello everyone, I have interpid thinkpad laptop and after reinstalling open office packages yesterday I noticed my sound stopped working today, can someone help me diagnose. I also noticed that my alsamixer has only one bar "master" usually it has a ton of them | 22:09 |
| paul687 | ikonia: ok how do I resolve this please? | 22:09 |
| ikonia | paul687: will I would remove the default route 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 | 22:09 |
| snikker | someone know how set 3d view with cairo dock? | 22:09 |
| ikonia | paul687: as your internet is provided by eth0 | 22:09 |
| billy | how can I install the ATI proprietary drivers when it doesnt work when I load up after installing when it automatically does it? | 22:09 |
| ikonia | paul687: so eth1 doesn't need a default route | 22:09 |
| fryguy | billy: are you sure your card is supported by that driver | 22:10 |
| paul687 | ikonia: ok how do I do this please? | 22:10 |
| Marcinq | Jesus Who tell me how can I log in to root | 22:10 |
| fryguy | !root | Marcinq | 22:10 |
| ubottu | Marcinq: 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 | 22:10 |
| ikonia | route del | 22:10 |
| ikonia | Marcinq: you don't login as root | 22:10 |
| ikonia | Marcinq: thats disabled | 22:10 |
| fryguy | it's actually not disabled, you just shouldn't do it | 22:10 |
| Sandblasted | hi | 22:10 |
| ikonia | fryguy: the root password is disabled | 22:11 |
| Aero745 | Hello everyone, I have interpid thinkpad laptop and after reinstalling open office packages yesterday I noticed my sound stopped working today, can someone help me diagnose. I also noticed that my alsamixer has only one bar "master" usually it has a ton of them | 22:11 |
| paul687 | ikonia: and then sorry still learning so I don't know the complete syntax or is this going to delete all routes? | 22:11 |
| Marcinq | Sudo....what ? | 22:11 |
| fryguy | ikonia: "sudo su" will log you in as root in a default install of either 8.04 or 8.10 | 22:11 |
| ikonia | Marcinq: sudo $command" | 22:11 |
| ikonia | fryguy: no - that will give you a root shell, you can't login as root at either a tty or a desktop | 22:11 |
| Sandblasted | i have to questions... can anyone help me | 22:11 |
| Sandblasted | ? | 22:11 |
| Arbe | how do i list all users in ubuntu through command line? | 22:11 |
| ikonia | Arbe: cat /etc/passwd | 22:11 |
| csilk | !ask | Sandblasted | 22:12 |
| ubottu | Sandblasted: 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. :-) | 22:12 |
| Arbe | oh | 22:12 |
| Arbe | thank | 22:12 |
| Arbe | sXD | 22:12 |
| Aero745 | ikonia, do you know anything about sound in ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| Arbe | *thanks XD | 22:12 |
| FloodBot2 | Arbe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:12 |
| fryguy | ikonia: ikonia sudo su - provides a login shell, equivalent to logging in as root. There's more ways to obtain a login than through a getty or a display manager | 22:12 |
| Sandblasted | ok | 22:12 |
| ikonia | Aero745: depends what the question is | 22:12 |
| raboof | my system is using APIC, and various devices (2 usb ports, my sound card and my network card) are assigned to IRQ 16. | 22:12 |
| volpe | ciao | 22:12 |
| Marcinq | sudo su but id doesnt work | 22:12 |
| Arbe | "don't use Enter as punctuation" D: | 22:12 |
| ikonia | fryguy: your just nitpicking now | 22:12 |
| Sandblasted | tank-u | 22:12 |
| Arbe | that's what i do the most D: | 22:12 |
| volpe | !list | 22:12 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 22:12 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i would argue you are doing the same | 22:12 |
| paul687 | ikonia: and then? sorry still learning so I don't know the complete syntax or is this going to delete all routes? | 22:12 |
| raboof | if i understand correctly, it's good for realtime audio performance to move the usb ports and eth0 to higher IRQ channels | 22:12 |
| ikonia | fryguy: not in relation to what the guy is asking | 22:12 |
| raboof | how do I do that? | 22:12 |
| Sandblasted | so. first question | 22:12 |
| Aero745 | ikonia my sound stopped working lol,alsa mixer only has one bar "master" and that's it, usually it has lots of different bars for microphones and stuff. Sound is unmuted and my music player gives no error or anything | 22:13 |
| Arbe | okay so next question: how do i list all ftp accounts? | 22:13 |

| csilk | !root | Sandblasted | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Sandblasted: 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 | 22:14 |
| ikonia | Arbe: what control pannel ? | 22:14 |
| ikonia | Sandblasted: put the user in the admin group | 22:14 |
| Arbe | WebFusion. It's a dedicated server company. The control panel is terrible :P | 22:14 |

| lenswipe | Baati: rather than sharing individual home directories i used to just share a folder called homes | 22:38 |
| dr_willis | lenswipe, the default smb.conf file in the /etc/samba/ dir has comments that you uncomment to let each user access their own home directory as a share.. you MUST give the users a samba passwiord beforhand with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' however | 22:38 |

| Pici | gbear14275: Yes. The -server kernel supports PAE, -generic does not. | 22:39 |
| lenswipe | dr_willis: i want to shre the folder homes so that depending on the password typed each user gets a different share mapped to them | 22:39 |
| lenswipe | it used to work before | 22:39 |
| gbear14275 | pici, so go 64bit desktop version if I need 4 gig of ram support? | 22:39 |

| absion | i was wondering if there's a way to just restart the driver/service without restarting the whole system | 22:42 |
| LjL | i kinda had that feeling. | 22:42 |
| lenswipe | dr_willis: its hard to explain in this busy chatroom | 22:42 |

| dr_willis | lenswipe, i can pastebin my smb.conf if you want.. | 22:42 |
| scientes | how do i deal with this | 22:42 |
| ironfroggy_ | and i've reverified that the fingerprint in my agent matches that of the public key in the remote authorized_keys | 22:42 |
| ironfroggy_ | Anyone have a tip for debugging this from this point? | 22:42 |
| lenswipe | dr_willis: can we just take this toPM because its hard in this busy chatroom, thanks :) | 22:42 |

| declension | anyone got a clue how to fix this kinda error from wine; Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 177.80, | 22:43 |
| declension | but this NVIDIA driver component has version 177.82. Please make | 22:43 |
| declension | sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components | 22:43 |
| declension | have the same version.? | 22:43 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: the permissions of public and private key files need to be very specific. ssh -vvv should give you a clue as to what is wrong with the setup | 22:43 |
| arno-t | hi anyone got experience with comparing processors? I'd like to know what is best: a 2.4GHz Celeron or a 1.5GHz Pentium 4? | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | lenswipe, http://pastebin.com/f2e163a99 | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | if you want to compare.. i gotta go check on the wife.. be back in 20 min or so. | 22:43 |
| fryguy | arno-t: would need to know quite a bit more than that about the processors | 22:43 |
| Pedro | hi could anyone help me configuring dwm for ubuntu? thanks | 22:43 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: ssh-add would complain about that, no? | 22:43 |
| ironfroggy_ | local private key is readable only by me | 22:44 |
| fryguy | Pedro: dwm is configured by editing config.h and recompiling it. as far as I know, ubuntu only provides a default configuration. if you want to change it's configuration you will have to grab the source yourself | 22:44 |
| ironfroggy_ | and its verified in my agent | 22:44 |
| sambagirl | if i have a ethernet connection from my macbook to my thinkpad do i need a cross over cable or can i just use a regular ehernet cable? | 22:44 |
| Pedro | fryguy: where do i grab the source | 22:44 |
| fryguy | Pedro: wwww.suckless.org/dwm i think is the url | 22:44 |

| TheMafia | Anyone aware of any tricks to getting Evolution on Intrepid workign with Exchange? I have duplicated settings from a Gutsy system and still can't connect | 22:46 |
| fryguy | Pedro: sounds like your dns configuration is wonky then, it's dns entry hasn't been updated in quite some time so your dns provider shouldn't be out of date | 22:46 |
| Pedro | fryguy: what do you mean | 22:46 |
| gbear14275 | I'm thinking about just going in and deleting repositories... there any reason... i SHOULDN'T do that? | 22:46 |
| Pedro | fryguy: how do i fix my dns | 22:46 |
| arno-t | fryguy, ok its a pentium 4 1.5GHz/256/400/1.75V well that's what is printed on it. And the celeron is according to /proc/cpuinfo 2.4Ghz 128kB cache, stepping 9, .. anything else? | 22:46 |

| high-freq | in the kernel source...so how do i make oldconfig | 22:47 |
| fryguy | Pedro: a temporary way is to edit /etc/resolv.conf, if you are using dhcp to obtain information from your ip however you will need to change dhclient configuration so that it doesn't overwrite dns entries. If you are using network manager change from roaming to dhcp and specify dns entries there. | 22:47 |
| Pedro | fryguy: what? | 22:48 |
| Pedro | fryguy: i dont know if i have dhcp or not | 22:48 |
| ironfroggy_ | I'm curious, when watching the verbose output doing an ssh connection, it distinguishes between messages saying its "Offering public key:" and "Trying private key:" but what do those mean when they all the keys it tries are my private keys? | 22:48 |
| fryguy | Pedro: then you do | 22:48 |
| Pedro | i just turn my computer on and my internet instantly works | 22:48 |

| fryguy | Pedro: i can't make it clearer | 22:49 |
| ironfroggy_ | stackd: you dont run an ISO | 22:49 |
| stackd | it wont run and i want to run lunix ;/ | 22:49 |
| Lin | stackd: iso file should be burn on a cd | 22:49 |
| xubuser | Hello People. | 22:49 |
| fryguy | stackd: you can use daemontools to mount an iso image in windows | 22:49 |
| xubuser | is Urban Terror in one of the ubuntu repos? | 22:49 |
| fryguy | stackd: which will allow you to view the contents of it and run it | 22:49 |

| Pedro | fryguy: when i try to edit it it says "permission denied" | 22:50 |
| Pedro | and then it doesnt let me open it | 22:50 |
| fryguy | Pedro: you need to have root permission to do it | 22:50 |
| Pedro | fryguy: ? | 22:51 |
| ns5 | hello? | 22:51 |
| ns5 | I am having name server woes | 22:51 |
| ironfroggy_ | stackd: you should probably play around with a Live CD before doing any installation. | 22:51 |
| ns5 | with the BIND tool | 22:51 |
| ironfroggy_ | ns5: is your nick just a coincidence? | 22:51 |
| jlaroche | hello everyone. I need some help setting up 7.1 speakers in Ubuntu 8.10 (64bit) | 22:51 |
| ns5 | yeah | 22:51 |
| fryguy | Pedro: are you sure the domain doesn't work as provided? I highly doubt your isp is giving you a dns server with a hole at this one domain | 22:51 |
| Myrtti | Pedro: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf | 22:51 |
| fryguy | jlaroche: what's wrong with them | 22:51 |
| Pedro | fryguy: it doesnt open | 22:51 |
| Pedro | firefox does even give out any errors | 22:51 |
| Pedro | Myrtti: | 22:52 |
| Pedro | Myrtti: bash: sudo: command not found | 22:52 |
| ironfroggy_ | Pedro: define "doesnt open" | 22:52 |

| jlaroche | fryguy: i am using songbird | 22:52 |
| fryguy | jlaroche: playing back mp3s? | 22:52 |
| Pedro | fryguy: i just tried to open it with gedit instead of kedit and now it says the file doesnt exist | 22:53 |
| Pedro | fryguy: wtf | 22:53 |
| Pedro | just tell me how i get the source for dwm | 22:53 |
| ironfroggy_ | Pedro: maybe the site's server is down? | 22:53 |
| jlaroche | fryguy: yeah. Also... I dualboot between ubuntu and winxp and I have 7.1 in xp (under itunes and whatever other software) | 22:53 |
| fryguy | jlaroche: almost every mp3 is only recorded in 2 channel stereo, it doesn't contain any sonic information in the rear or center channels, so there is ntohing for the speakers to play back | 22:53 |

| Fephisto | Hey, some questions about ubuntu: If it works on wubi, will it necessarily work on normal ubuntu install? (i.e., I won't have to worry about not having the drivers if it works on wubi) Also, do I have to worry much about networking or will it autoconfig? (I now pretty much nothing about networking despite my experimentation). I'm half-considering wiping my current system with Vista and... | 22:53 |
| Fephisto | ...going totally Ubuntu, thanks. | 22:53 |
| jlaroche | fryguy: it works fine in windows | 22:53 |
| ironfroggy_ | Pedro: maybe it has to do with your session there. maybe its a bug in their code and its crashing like that. | 22:54 |
| ironfroggy_ | try some browser other than firefox? | 22:54 |
| hipdad | hello? | 22:54 |

| fryguy | whoops | 23:05 |
| Pedro | fryguy: what? | 23:05 |
| fryguy | Pedro: might have something to do with WEEVIL.PWNS.MS | 23:06 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: no, this was installed weeks ago, then i stopped using my laptop for a week or so, booted it up again and had this issue | 23:06 |
| fryguy | Pedro: probably call your ISP | 23:06 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | almost as if it broke itself, annoyingly enough | 23:06 |
| Ganandorf | i am using gimp 2.0 how do i update it to teh newest version | 23:06 |
| Pedro | fryguy: my isp is really bad :( but ill try thanx | 23:06 |
| Aero745 | Codemaster|Mobil: As I understand, your login screen shows up fine, you log in and you get nothing but a black desktop? | 23:06 |
| r0lly | HOLA | 23:07 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: that was the issue this morning; i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and the gnome-panels show up, now, but the fonts are messed up, background doesn't show up, and it isn't using the theme it is set to supposed to be using | 23:07 |
| arno-t | fryguy, I saw the discussion took off a bit up there... :( ok its a pentium 4 1.5GHz/256/400/1.75V - well that's what is printed on it. And the celeron is according to /proc/cpuinfo 2.4Ghz 128kB cache, stepping 9, .. anything else I should detail? | 23:07 |
| r0lly | spanish | 23:07 |
| fryguy | arno-t: processor stepping, core revision, fsb. | 23:08 |
| Aero745 | Codemaster|Mobil: so you have theme/font issues on a fresh install? | 23:08 |
| nothing12345 | does anyone have cedega? | 23:08 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: semi-fresh, yes | 23:08 |

| nothing12345 | I get only 15 fps when I want to play counterstrike source with wine 1.0 :( | 23:09 |
| Aero745 | Codemaster|Mobil: Semi-fresh? Where did you get your distro? I'm just trying to trace the cause of the problem because this shouldn't happen on a fresh install | 23:09 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: this is normal intrepid | 23:10 |
| Aero745 | from the website? | 23:10 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | yes | 23:10 |
| jordan_ | how can you see what version of ubuntu you got? | 23:10 |
| arno-t | fryguy, well I can't see those in cpuinfo... any tool/program to get those values? | 23:10 |
| fryguy | !version | jordan_ | 23:10 |
| ubottu | jordan_: 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> » | 23:10 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | i've installed compiz, eclipse, a few other things and used it for a week or two so it's not necessarily fresh | 23:10 |
| Aero745 | can you fix the fonts by going to System>Pref>appearance? | 23:10 |
| fryguy | arno-t: no | 23:10 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | but not much has been changed | 23:10 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: i'll see | 23:10 |
| fryguy | Codemaster|Mobil: compiz is installed by default, what exactly did you do | 23:11 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: if i switch the rendering around, nothing changes | 23:11 |
| seriousstorm85 | hi, i have recently upgraded to Ibex but for some reason i can't seem to find my router from the available wireless in previous ubuntu versions i didn't have this prblem and i even upgraded to ibex using my wireless router | 23:11 |
| Aero745 | Codemaster|Mobil: Go to the "fonts" tab, and play around with that. I don't know what you mean by "messed up" is the antialiasing not working or font too small? | 23:11 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | the font's too large | 23:11 |
| joebodo | !wifi | 23:11 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:11 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | and my theme isn't being used, more or less | 23:11 |
| arno-t | fryguy, ok would the best maybe be benchmarking with some tool, reboot and try with the other cpu then benchmark that, maybe? | 23:11 |
| Aero745 | so if you reduce the font size there, the old font remains? | 23:12 |
| MeRodent | Codemaster|Mobil, you haven't changed screen res have you? | 23:12 |
| fryguy | arno-t: probably | 23:12 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | yes i have | 23:12 |

| Meshach | Hello all. I installed xvidcap and when I try to record something it closes. | 23:13 |
| r0lly | ok | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | how do i remove files in a dir but keep one dir that's in that dir =) | 23:13 |
| Aero745 | I don't know what to tell you codemaster, it seems like some config file was changed to mess it up, you can try reinstalling GDM if you want - just back everything up | 23:13 |
| richard_ | Firefox 3.0.4 is out and cannot see it on the repos, how do i do to 3.0.4 appear on the repos, or add mozilla repos? | 23:13 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: lovely :/ | 23:13 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | how would i go about reinstalling GDM entirely | 23:13 |
| fryguy | kindofabuzz: probably the easiest way is to move that one dir to like /tmp, delete everything, then move it back | 23:13 |
| seriousstorm85 | hi, i have recently upgraded to Ibex but for some reason i can't seem to find my router from the available wireless in previous ubuntu versions i didn't have this prblem and i even upgraded to ibex using my wireless router | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | fryguy, ok, no filters for rm? | 23:14 |
| samurai | fryguy: I have just upgraded to intrepid on a machine. Compiz and all worked fine before. I have an nvidia graphics card whose driver is being used currently but each time I try to get compiz-fusion working it complains about an intel driver | 23:14 |
| Aero745 | Codemaster|Mobil: this isn't a common problem, and I'm sure ubuntu didn't detect the fact that you haven't used it for a while and broke itself, sorry I can't be more help | 23:14 |
| fryguy | kindofabuzz: depends on what you need to do | 23:14 |
| icqnumber | !info libpam-keyring | 23:14 |
| Aero745 | I'm not sure what else to tell you | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Package libpam-keyring does not exist in intrepid | 23:14 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: so how would i completely reinstall gdm | 23:14 |
| icqnumber | !info libpam-gnome-keyring | 23:14 |
| ubottu | libpam-gnome-keyring (source: gnome-keyring): PAM module to unlock the GNOME keyring upon login. In component main, is optional. Version 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 27 kB, installed size 104 kB | 23:14 |
| fryguy | richard_: it won't be in the repositories for a while (and i think ubuntu policy won't put it there until version 9.04) | 23:14 |
| nintendork32 | help, the terminal isnt loading | 23:15 |
| Lin | hi. my gdm session is starting with wrong resolution leading to a blank screen, after I login my resolution back to work (1280x1024), how can I force GDM to start in that resolution (1280x1024)? | 23:15 |
| Aero745 | codemaster|Mobil: so if you reinstall ubuntu-desktop you think this problem will come back? | 23:15 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: I've already done that :/ | 23:15 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: that's what fixed the panels | 23:15 |
| richard_ | fryguy, then how do i do? , Download the .deb and install? first uninstall 3.03? if yes how :p | 23:15 |
| richard_ | :D | 23:15 |
| Aero745 | In that case, if he themes aren't being applied on a fresh install, I'd say your ubuntu image is bad | 23:15 |
| fryguy | richard_: you are on your own for doing package maintenance outside of what is provided in the ubuntu repositories | 23:16 |
| Aero745 | try validating it | 23:16 |
| seriousstorm85 | hi, i have recently upgraded to Ibex but for some reason i can't seem to find my router from the available wireless in previous ubuntu versions i didn't have this prblem and i even upgraded to ibex using my wireless router | 23:16 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Aero745: it's not completely fresh, i'd say it's a few weeks old, so | 23:16 |
| Meshach | I installed xvidcap and when I try to record something it closes. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 | 23:16 |
| ironfroggy_ | ok so could someone tell me the difference between 'Offering public key: some key here' and 'Trying private key: some other key' and why ssh says one or the other about a particular key? | 23:16 |
| nintendork32 | hmm ever since yesterday ubuntu has sucked | 23:16 |
| nintendork32 | everything crashing | 23:16 |
| nintendork32 | and i am not reinstalling ubuntu i have already done that once | 23:17 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: ssh works by exchanging a pair of keys, one which is publicly available, and another which is known only to you (typically called id_rsa on modern versions of ssh). A key-exchange occurs so that both the ssh client and the ssh server can verify the integrity of keys and the identify of the user connecting | 23:17 |
| Meshach | nintendork32: You must be doing something wrong.. | 23:18 |
| nintendork32 | Meshach what can i do wrong by going to Aplications-Aceesories->terminal | 23:18 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: this is all stuff i understand. but i dont understand why it says its "Offering public key" in this particular instance, and giving the location of what is, in fact, a private key file. | 23:18 |
| Insectoid | I'd ask in #wubi but it looks to be empty: Does wubi modify the vista bcd store? | 23:18 |
| seriousstorm85 | hi, i have recently upgraded to Ibex but for some reason i can't seem to find my router from the available wireless in previous ubuntu versions i didn't have this prblem and i even upgraded to ibex using my wireless router | 23:18 |
| Billy | i have vista and ubuntu dual booting. I want to remove ubuntu (as im going to install 8.04 instead of 8.10) but I don't want to wreck it such that I can't boot into vista, whats the best way to go about that? | 23:18 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: what is the file that it is offering | 23:18 |
| nintendork32 | Think i should update to 8.10 | 23:19 |
| jordan_ | i just dled flash player and then i try to play something in firefox and it says don't have flash player, how do i check if i have it installed? | 23:19 |
| Meshach | nintendork32: Lots of things go wrong when you type the wrong thing in the terminal. | 23:19 |
| nintendork32 | ive heard bad things abour it | 23:19 |
| fryguy | jordan_: about:plugins | 23:19 |
| nintendork32 | Mesach i cant open it | 23:19 |
| fryguy | nintendork32: so then don't upgrade | 23:19 |
| Meshach | nintendork32: It's not bad. Very good. | 23:19 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Billy: if you remove 8.10 and install 8.04, it'll still install grub and let you boot into vista | 23:19 |
| nintendork32 | fryguy: i havent done it | 23:19 |
| ironfroggy_ | it is my /home/ironfroggy/web.id_rsa which is the private key for the web user at the remote box | 23:19 |
| * nintendork32 updates | 23:19 | |
| Billy | Codemaster|Mobil, will it not leave ubuntu 8.10 in the menu? | 23:20 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: why do you have the private key of another machine | 23:20 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | well, i'll try to reinstall gnome, i hope it works | 23:20 |
| jlaroche | Thanks for the help guys. | 23:20 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | Billy: it wont have 8.10 | 23:20 |
| mepholic | 𝑺𝑼𝑷 𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺 | 23:20 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: to authenticate when i access it? | 23:20 |
| Billy | Codemaster|Mobil, cheers, will give it a go | 23:21 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: you are doing this backwards and wrong | 23:21 |
| thompa | Hi. how do I purge kubuntu-desktop? | 23:21 |
| jordan_ | fryguy what do you mean about:plugins you mean in firefox? | 23:21 |
| ironfroggy_ | i have to have my private key in order to authenticate as the remote user, correct? | 23:21 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: if you want to connect to a remote machine, you generate a public private key pair, and put the public key into authorized_keys on the remote machine | 23:21 |
| Aero745 | Hello everyone, I have interpid thinkpad laptop and after reinstalling open office packages yesterday I noticed my sound stopped working today, can someone help me diagnose. I also noticed that my alsamixer has only one bar "master" usually it has a ton of them | 23:21 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: yes... thats what i have. | 23:22 |
| ironfroggy_ | i have the private key here and it has the public key in authorized_keys. thats what ive said. | 23:22 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: so why do you have the private key of another machine | 23:22 |
| jordan_ | how do you get rid of joining and leaving messages in xchat? | 23:22 |
| ironfroggy_ | and i know this has worked in the past. it was used to checkout my working copy (svn) and now i can't update. | 23:22 |
| ironfroggy_ | because i can't authenticate. | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | jordan_ right click on the tabs/channels and its in the menu items | 23:22 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: like i said, you are doing it backwards and wrong | 23:22 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: i dont understand what you are saying. i have exactly the setup you described me as needing. | 23:22 |
| ironfroggy_ | i have my private key _here_ | 23:23 |
| ironfroggy_ | and the other machine has the matching public key _there_ | 23:23 |
| ironfroggy_ | isnt that precisely what you said? | 23:23 |
| zsquareplusc | ironfroggy_: mannuall yuse ssh to connect once (not using svn). does it print errors? maybe the server fungerprint has changed, or your key has wrong permissions | 23:23 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: yes, and that's not what you were asking about before. before you were claiming that ssh was using the private key of another machine | 23:23 |
| cloudy_nz | fungerprint? | 23:23 |
| LF|Irssi | lol | 23:23 |
| zsquareplusc | thanks for proofreading :-) | 23:24 |
| ironfroggy_ | zsquareplusc: that is what i am trying to test it. i verified the fingerprints all match. i get no errors, it simply says its trying the key but then goes on to try others. i assume the key fails. and then it asks me for a password. | 23:24 |
| ironfroggy_ | the user has no password. | 23:24 |
| fryguy | does the private key file have the correct permissions? | 23:25 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: i dont understand what you mean there, but that isnt my situation. my situation is, in fact, as you describe it should be. | 23:25 |
| ironfroggy_ | yes. | 23:25 |
| ironfroggy_ | if it didnt, ssh-add would have refused it. | 23:25 |
| jordan | So firefox still thinks i don't have flash player? | 23:25 |
| LF|Irssi | Its ok Jorden Opera in ubuntu refuses to think i have Java | 23:25 |
| mEck0 | hi! I removed my printer from CUPS web-interface, then I saw there was a segmentation fault and I wasn't enable to click on any links in the interface anymore, got like page cannot be shown... so I rebooted ubuntu 8.10 and though it would be ok, but now I can't even log in into ubuntu :( doesn't work with gnome or not even via a terminal :( what can I do? I have access to a root terminal from recovery mode. can I list user accounts from the t | 23:26 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: then you don't have the authorized key file set up correctly on the remote machine. | 23:26 |
| Dominik2 | how can I set up printer shareing, and or file shareing over a wirless router network (internet -> router -> 3 laptops, id like those laptops to be able to comunicate) | 23:26 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: thats the first thing i checked. it contains the matching public key. | 23:27 |
| zsquareplusc | ironfroggy_: so you have added your private key to your local ssh-agent? or are you passing it on the command line? | 23:27 |
| kemalist | ubuntu seems to provide random problems on my Compaq Presario C795EL | 23:27 |
| kemalist | it panics randomly | 23:27 |
| varlena | Can someone give me the executive summary of the risks of updating to ubuntu 10? I won't have to reload stuff I've apt-get'd will I? | 23:27 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: then to the best of my knowledge your installation of ssh is broken on either the client or the server. I don't know what else to offer you | 23:27 |
| PeskyJ | I just plugged in a scanner and ran X-sane which seems to eb what comes with ubuntu, it complains a lot about no colour ICC/ICM profile and I've had a search and can't find one for this scanner (Epson CX6400) - is there such a thing as a default profile I can use? | 23:29 |
| zsquareplusc | ironfroggy_: if the server was updated and your key is some months old, it maybe one of the ones suffering from that security issue. thus the server might have a blacklist and reject your key | 23:29 |

| fryguy | ironfroggy_: didn't i tell you that the permissions for ssh are very very specific? | 23:37 |
| n9xph | nsomniac my solution was to install 7.10 instead because it works well | 23:37 |
| |Porsche | ive tried that already | 23:37 |
| ironfroggy_ | zsquareplusc: but .ssh/ would need to be writable for that, not just ~ right? | 23:37 |
| icqnumber | is there any way to stop nm-applet from prompting the password (wpa wlan) every time i start my laptop? | 23:37 |
| |Porsche | my problem is quite peculiar my sound work, but suddenly it stops working | 23:37 |
| ironfroggy_ | fryguy: yes and i checked everything that i knew of mattered. i checked permissions on all my keys, private and public, and .ssh/ | 23:37 |
| icqnumber | it is so boring... | 23:37 |
| zsquareplusc | ironfroggy_: yes, unless ssh is also reading other files from ~ | 23:37 |
| fryguy | ironfroggy_: and the problem was .ssh/ right? i guess that wasn't checked | 23:37 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, can | 23:37 |
| ironfroggy_ | no | 23:38 |
| iamelite | dr_willis, I simply MUST get this ****er to boot. I feel i am so close and i just learned of this trick. | 23:38 |
| ironfroggy_ | the problem was /home/web/ | 23:38 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, can't it remember the passwd? | 23:38 |
| ironfroggy_ | not /home/web/.ssh/ | 23:38 |

| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:38 |
| |Porsche | icqfroggy: yes there is you have to configure your laptop so that it will connect during the bootup sequence | 23:38 |

| rdw200169_ | iamelite: so what, you're trying to boot from firewire, right | 23:39 |
| NsOmNiAc | yes it is | 23:39 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, it can, it is a keyring prompt, | 23:39 |
| iamelite | Its slightly bigger letters | 23:39 |
| vaurdan | can someone help? | 23:39 |
| unop | iamelite, it is on IRC - and you don't have to, so why do it? | 23:39 |
| |Porsche | icqnumber: check this out http://dilationtime.wordpress.com/2008/06/07/linux-automating-wireless-connection/ | 23:39 |

| ronny | anyone got an idea how to set up network-manager in order to make it asign a fixed ip + network/dnsforwarding to a usb net device (my openmoko freerunner mobile phone) | 23:39 |
| rdw200169_ | iamelite: mac or pc? | 23:39 |
| rathel | Some websites won't load for me, I'm thinking it may be my ISP but I thought somebody here might have some ideas to try, I tried restarting my modem and routers and use different computers/OS's and nothing seems to work. | 23:39 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, there is a package for automatic keyring login | 23:39 |
| iamelite | rdw200169_ imac g3 | 23:39 |
| vaurdan | fysaen, I already write it... | 23:39 |
| vaurdan | I've a problem. How do I activate my PC Speaker on ubuntu? alsamixer doesnt activate it | 23:39 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, which one? | 23:40 |
| rdw200169_ | iamelite: well, i'm sure it's similar to setting up a separate linux partition on a mac, using something like rEFIt | 23:40 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, libpam-gnome-keyring? | 23:40 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, if so i have it installed | 23:40 |
| paul687 | rdw200169_: hi how are you I need your help my friend | 23:40 |
| rdw200169_ | iamelite: since this isn't related to ubuntu, i'm sorry, but i can't help more, you should research rEFIt | 23:40 |
| iamelite | rdw200169_ I am attempting to install ubuntu on my imac g3 however i do not have a working disk drive | 23:41 |
| Eressolar | vaurdan: What is the result of the command " lsmod | grep pcspkr " | 23:41 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, see this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/ | 23:41 |
| ironfroggy_ | zsquareplusc, fryguy: thanks for all the help | 23:41 |
| zsquareplusc | vaurdan: if you use the speaker applet to open the mixer. then check eth settings of the mixer. there may be options for "mono out" or somthing that enable the controls for that output | 23:41 |
| rdw200169_ | iamelite: right, but you're discussing a highly specific situation, that can only be solved by doing more research into the workings of EFI | 23:41 |
| vaurdan | vaurdan@neopt:~$ lsmod | grep pcspkr | 23:42 |
| vaurdan | pcspkr 4224 0 | 23:42 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, is it for intrepid? | 23:42 |
| rdw200169_ | iamelite: and finding out if rEFIt, or something like it, can solve your problem | 23:42 |

| NEWK | I tried to turn on the visual effects but I got "desktop effects could not be enabled" | 23:42 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, don't think it matters | 23:42 |
| rdw200169_ | iamelite: IF rEFIt is capable of booting from firewire, then you must figure out how to get the boot manager thing working, regardless, this is a rEFIt related issue, not ubuntu | 23:42 |
| Eressolar | vaurdan: using gnome and 8.10? | 23:43 |
| icqnumber | !info libpam-keyring | 23:43 |

| vaurdan | *8.4 | 23:43 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, it is, because there is no such a package in intrepid | 23:43 |
| kasutaja | libpam-gnome-keyring | 23:43 |

| vaurdan | Eressolar, 8.4 and Gnome | 23:44 |
| NEWK | Hey, I tried to turn on the visuall effects but I got an error. Does that mean I can't do that on this PC or do I need to keep fiddlign with it or install soemthing? | 23:44 |
| kasutaja | rathel, can you ping these? | 23:44 |
| Eressolar | vaurdan: Alright, I don't remember the exact setting in 804, but try System > Preferences > Sounds > and under another tab at the top of the window should have an option for activating pc speaker. | 23:44 |
| rathel | kasutaja, Yes. | 23:44 |
| kasutaja | rathel, wget these? | 23:45 |
| vaurdan | Eressolar, no I dont | 23:45 |

| Fezzler | kasutaja: I don't understand output | 23:46 |
| kasutaja | rathel, then this is browser issue instead | 23:46 |
| zsquareplusc | NEWK: maybe no 3d acceleration of your graphics card. you may need to install restricted drivers to enable 3d support. check out the "drivers" item in the preferences | 23:46 |
| AzizLight | when I hold Alt and use the mouse (left click) I can move the window. How can I disable that please? | 23:46 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, i have this package installed by default | 23:46 |
| kasutaja | Fezzler, the output is in table, which has header, ii means installed | 23:47 |
| Eressolar | vaurdan: Hrm, sorry then. I know there's an option under the sound options to toggle the pc speaker, but I can't recall its location in 8.04 | 23:47 |
| icqnumber | kasutaja, habe you tried that your self? | 23:47 |
| icqnumber | have* | 23:47 |
| Fezzler | kasutaja: so "un" mean uninstalled | 23:47 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, did you change your password? | 23:47 |
| rathel | kasutaja, Wait, I can wget 1 but not the other. | 23:47 |

| icqnumber | is there any way to stop nm-applet from keyring prompting the password (wpa wlan) every time i start my laptop? on intrepid | 23:48 |
| zsquareplusc | NEWK: sorry i don't know its name in english. it should be in the system settings (admin?) | 23:48 |
| NEWK | thanks, I'll check there | 23:49 |
| kasutaja | icqnumber, but do you have gnome-keyring installed? | 23:50 |

| otacon967 | Problem. My wireless card is not responding in 8.04. I have followed the instructions in the help. Installed the ndiswrapper GUI front end (forget what its called) and used the driver that my windows vista partition uses for the wireless card. The "Use Windows Driver" window says that the driver is installed, but the wireless still is not functioning. I also went into the terminal and... | 23:52 |
| otacon967 | ...checked that ndiswrapper had the driver installed and had done the modprobe. I'm out of ideas. | 23:52 |
| JigmeDatse | I'd like to get gimp-print installed on my sister's Hardy computer, and it looks like it won't install, so I'm wondering if there's an alternative that provides similar functionality. | 23:53 |
| AzizLight | how can I disable the Alt+Drag(left moust) shortcut in ubuntu please? | 23:53 |
| rathel | kasutaja, No, he's on different ISP, I can't get to those on any computer on my network. | 23:53 |
| hakr | no one? | 23:53 |
| zsquareplusc | hakr: with "lsusb" you can get a list of USB devices. find the webcam and search the web for the numbers (like 1234:5678) | 23:53 |
| Tyrath | would anyone know how I can change the permissions of /dev/fb0? I've looked up tutes but I don't get it. Apparently the permissions are set in the /udev/rules.d directory but I can't find the file that does /dev/fb0 | 23:53 |
| kasutaja | rathel, most probably your ISP. Find some proxy, if you really need these | 23:54 |
| Anacranom | otacon967, what chipset is your card? | 23:54 |
| JigmeDatse | I'm more a gentoo girl myself, but I thought Ubuntu would be easier for them to use. | 23:54 |
| PriceChild | JigmeDatse: What do you mean by "won't install", what're you doing and what's the error? | 23:55 |
| Tyrath | the issue it that everytime I try to run fbi I get the message cannot open /dev/db0 Permission Denied | 23:55 |
| kasutaja | rathel, but I am curious why some of there are wget-able | 23:55 |
| otacon967 | Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) | 23:55 |
| cali_ | my wpn111 wireless adapter is not working on 8.10 | 23:55 |
| rathel | kasutaja, Yeah I know proxying works, I am using tor and it seems to work. | 23:55 |
| kasutaja | Tyrath, sud? | 23:55 |
| Tyrath | /dev/db0 = /dev/fb0 | 23:55 |
| NEWK | OK, I checked out my drivers... | 23:55 |
| kasutaja | Tyrath, sudo? | 23:55 |
| * UbuntuARMNetbook Waves hello to all | 23:55 | |
| NEWK | it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 23:55 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | Has someone been able to get the webcam working with Ubuntu 8.10 | 23:56 |
| JigmeDatse | PriceChild, I'm not totally clear, but it looks like a dependency is missing, or gimp-print is completely missing. | 23:56 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | ? | 23:56 |
| NEWK | What does that mean in regards to my visual effects? | 23:56 |
| Tyrath | kasutaja: I can use sudo yes. but that becomes annoying when I try to run fbi through other progs. I'd rather someone tell me how to alter the permissions | 23:56 |
| damian__ | i down loaded the driver for my laptop wireless, but its a .exe file. what can i do to get the driver working? | 23:56 |
| PriceChild | JigmeDatse: could so you're trying sudo apt-get install gimp-print ?/ | 23:56 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | damian - the .exe files do not work for Ubuntu | 23:56 |
| Tyrath | kasutaja: I should have the permissions I don't understand why | 23:56 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - You will have to find drivers within repos of Ubuntu or download the source code and compile it yourself | 23:57 |
| tyso1 | does anyone know a link to how i can remove the built in version of fire fox and upgrade to the newest version? | 23:57 |
| JigmeDatse | PriceChild, to get my sister to do so, yes. | 23:57 |
| === nickklau is now known as marcules | ||
| Tyrath | damian__: you can open .exe files using wine | 23:57 |
| damian__ | how do i get my wireless to work? | 23:57 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | tyso1 - try purge command | 23:57 |
| PriceChild | !gimp-print | 23:57 |
| damian__ | if i use wine, will that install the driver? | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gimp-print | 23:57 |
| tyso1 | arm net book what is that? | 23:57 |
| PriceChild | !info gimp-print | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Package gimp-print does not exist in intrepid | 23:57 |
| kasutaja | Tyrath, as you can sudo you have the permissions, but for safety and security reasons admin actions cannot be performed as user | 23:57 |
| Tyrath | could anyone help me change my udev permissions? or do I have to reinstall udev or something? | 23:57 |
| JigmeDatse | PriceChild, I think I could figure it out if I was infront of her computer, but it's a 12 hour drive away from me. | 23:58 |
| PriceChild | JigmeDatse: There doesn't appear to be a package called gimp-print in Ubuntu. | 23:58 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - I have just joined the room. So what is the acutal issue you had with the wireless | 23:58 |
| PriceChild | JigmeDatse: have you added a 3rd party repository and are trying to use that? | 23:58 |
| Tyrath | kasutaja: before I reinstalled ibex I had permissions. for some reason now I don't | 23:58 |
| nintendork32 | im wanting to repartion my disk so /home will be its own partition but it seems i have to unmount root (/) that doesnt seem safe | 23:58 |
| tarelerulz | damian__: ndiwrapper is how I got my wireless working. as for the .exe that might be an installing program . So you could use wine to run it . | 23:58 |
| zsquareplusc | Tyrath: i thing fb0 is there at boot time even before udev is run. so it is not set up with udev rules | 23:58 |
| kasutaja | Tyrath, you did something special to get these? | 23:58 |
| === paulj1 is now known as pauljw | ||
| JigmeDatse | I don't recall adding a 3rd party repository, but I may have. That may be the solution. | 23:59 |
| eumario | Alright, I have a problem with Gnome-Screensaver on my EeePC with Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1, whenever I lock the screen with the Gnome lock Screen, I move my mouse to unlock it, enter my password, and it doesn't accept it. Any thoughts? | 23:59 |
| Tyrath | kasutaja: opening a basic program shouldn't require typing sudo unless it's configuration related | 23:59 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | tyso - the command is: sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox | 23:59 |
| Tyrath | zsquareplusc: so how would I set up its permissions then? | 23:59 |
| UbuntuARMNetbook | Tyso - try that and let me know if that helps | 23:59 |
| NEWK | This channel is too crowded to get good support | 23:59 |
| NEWK | is there a less crowded one? | 23:59 |
| Tyrath | kasutaja: nope. just reinstalled ibex | 23:59 |
| kasutaja | JigmeDatse, maybe it's replaced by gimp-gutenprint | 23:59 |
| JigmeDatse | PriceChild, I am not set on gimp-print, but it's what I'm using in Gentoo, and it does wonders for my printing. | 23:59 |
| lianimator | NEWK: #ubuntu-offtopic? | 23:59 |
