lianimator | NEWK: try the forums. | 00:00 |
Infamous_Cow | the ubuntu forums | 00:00 |
lianimator | NEWK: I didn't catch your problem, I just got here | 00:00 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: you should be able to set any /dev files using udev - atleast I was of that pretense | 00:00 |
JigmeDatse | kasutaja, That's possible. | 00:00 |
NEWK | Well, I'm trying to set up the visual effects | 00:00 |
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 | 00:00 |
tyso1 | ubuntuarmnetbook: the section remove--purge is an invalid operation | 00:00 |
damian__ | UbuntuARMNetbook: my laptops doesnt detect wireless signal, i just installed ubuntu, ms vista was to slow. | 00:00 |
NEWK | but it said it can't do it on this system | 00:00 |
NEWK | I mean | 00:00 |
NEWK | it didn't say that | 00:00 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - I am not sure if you install the wine driver will fix the issue. The wine driver even if the installation is successful, might only work out for the wine apps mate. | 00:01 |
NEWK | but it said that it could't do it | 00:01 |
NEWK | so someone told me to check the drivers | 00:01 |
NEWK | and it said that there's no proprietary drivers on this system | 00:01 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Tyso: sudo apt-get remove --purge | 00:01 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Tyso: please give good space between the commands | 00:01 |
NEWK | I just want to know if this PC is incapable of doing the visual effects or if I can do somethign about it | 00:01 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | see if that works | 00:01 |
zsquareplusc | Tyrath: hm i dont have no framebuffer devices. are you running the desktop edition or what did you do to get them? | 00:01 |
PriceChild | JigmeDatse: it might be that it just its available elsewhere *searches* | 00:02 |
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 | 00:02 |
Tyrath | has no-one never had to reset the /dev/ permissions? I don't understand how no-one has reached this problem. as dev/fb0 is used a lot! | 00:02 |
JigmeDatse | Thank you kasutaja that looks like what I'm looking for. | 00:02 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: yep. i'm using the desktop edition | 00:02 |
cali_ | Help. how do i trouble shoot why my wpn111 not working on 8.10 | 00:02 |
kasutaja | JigmeDatse, apt-cache search whatever | 00:02 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: I installed off the CD | 00:02 |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: if you want to repartition the drive you boot from.. use a live cd (such as the ubuntu desktop cd) | 00:02 |
JigmeDatse | PriceChild, kasutaja answered my question. Thank you everyone. | 00:03 |
damian__ | how can i get my wireless to work? | 00:03 |
eumario | damian__: What wireless card do you have? | 00:03 |
PriceChild | !gimp-gutenprint | JigmeDatse | 00:03 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gimp-gutenprint | 00:03 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplusc: i dont have any blank CD's and from my understanding its possible to do it from a partition tool | 00:04 |
unop | info ... | 00:04 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - I am finding that people are having issues with understanding how to configure the wireless rather than the driver issue. | 00:04 |
PriceChild | JigmeDatse: bah, they got there first, I was almost there :) | 00:04 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - do you think you know how to set the wireless network settings? | 00:04 |
lazukars | On Ubuntu Install, what keyboard layout should I choose. The keyboard is a standard keyboard from Dell. | 00:04 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | lazukars - use North American generic mate. | 00:04 |
JigmeDatse | PriceChild, doesn't matter to me who answers, or sometimes even if I get an *answer* but finding something that will let me figure it out is great. | 00:05 |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: ypu probably mean gparted. you can also create USB boot drives if cdroms are a problem ;-) | 00:05 |
damian__ | eumario: I have a 802.11bga wireless | 00:05 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - eumario is asking you about the make of the card | 00:05 |
PriceChild | JigmeDatse: meh, but its always nice to accomplish something. | 00:05 |
icqnumber | is there any way to stop nm-applet from keyring prompting the password (wpa wlan) every time i start my laptop? on intrepid | 00:05 |
kasutaja | JigmeDatse, PriceChild, thats why gentoo :) | 00:05 |
JigmeDatse | PriceChild you did. | 00:06 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Tyso: were you able to get rid of the firefox mate? | 00:06 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplusc yeah i mean GParted shouldnt it be possible to do it from that? | 00:06 |
PriceChild | JigmeDatse: for future reference, even if you've not got ubuntu, you can search our packages on packages.ubuntu.com/<insert something here> | 00:06 |
javagamer | Is the latest version of hedgewars in the repository? | 00:06 |
zsquareplusc | Tyrath: hm i searched again i dont have these devices. did you do something to get them? like loading a module or running mknod? | 00:06 |
JigmeDatse | PriceChild, yeah, I'm just not sure what to search for. | 00:06 |
JigmeDatse | Let me tag that. | 00:06 |
javagamer | How do I apt-get an unstable package? | 00:07 |
PriceChild | JigmeDatse: i just did 'gimp', then used firefox to search for 'gimp-print' in the page, and found the renaming. | 00:07 |
PriceChild | !debian | javagamer | 00:07 |
ubottu | javagamer: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 00:07 |
damian__ | UbuntuARMNetbook: i set up a laptop with wireless before, this one i dont know what the problem is | 00:07 |
JigmeDatse | Ah, cool. | 00:07 |
damian__ | eumario: I have a atheros 802.11bga wireless | 00:08 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - Great! so you know the things! Are you using 2.6.24-19-generic? | 00:08 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: apparently you can set the permissions using chmod. I'm going to do that | 00:08 |
javagamer | Does Ubuntu not have an unstable repository? | 00:08 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - for some strange reasons, the 2.6.24-19-rt works great for me on all the laptops | 00:08 |
NEWK | so.... | 00:08 |
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... | 00:08 |
otacon967 | ...checked that ndiswrapper had the driver installed and had done the modprobe. I'm out of ideas. My wireless card is a Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02). | 00:08 |
kasutaja | javagamer, the next version is the unstable rep | 00:08 |
lazukars | Installing Ubuntu -- For partitioning, which option should you choose. Guided Resize or Guide use entire disk. | 00:09 |
NEWK | how can I get my visual effects to work? How can I find out whether they will work or not on my PC? | 00:09 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | lazukars - guided resize | 00:09 |
zsquareplusc | Tyrath: yey you can. but this is probably lost when rebooting (as /dev/ isnt anymore a simple folder but a dynamically generated file system) | 00:09 |
javagamer | katsutaja:? The next version of Ubuntu? | 00:09 |
kasutaja | yes | 00:09 |
javagamer | ah | 00:09 |
cali_ | Wireless usb not working. Help. How do I trouble shoot why my wpn111 not working on 8.10. And windows wireless drivers not showing under preferences or administration | 00:09 |
lazukars | UbuntuARMNetbook: is there a reason for that? | 00:09 |
kasutaja | javagamer, whatever intrepid+1 becomes | 00:09 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | lazukars: I am assuming that you would want to save the windows partition existing in your pc ;) | 00:10 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Lazukars: if not - use the entire disk option. ... whole disk will be used :) | 00:10 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian: Try loading this package - http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/base/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-rt | 00:10 |
lazukars | Thanks! | 00:10 |
lazukars | I am going to run a Ubuntu only machine. | 00:10 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - tell me if that works .. Most of your issues will be gone. After the install, while booting you will be presented with the option of kernel-version-rt | 00:11 |
otacon967 | kasutaja, I think I heard from somewhere that it's going to be Jaunty Jackaloupe | 00:11 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - boot the -rt version. This might be the shortest way out of all your pains | 00:11 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplusc yeah i mean GParted shouldnt it be possible to do it from that? | 00:11 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Lazukars - go ahead mate. free your pc from microsoft :) | 00:11 |
PeskyJ | sometimes, a window goes all white and the app doesn't think it needs to redraw itself, is there a way to get gnome to tell the app to redraw itself? | 00:11 |
kasutaja | otacon967, cool | 00:11 |
damian__ | UbuntuARMNetbook: 2.6.24-21 | 00:11 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - this will take time. But lets see if that works. | 00:11 |
ari_stress | PeskyJ i think it's a sign of hang | 00:11 |
paul678 | rdw200169_: are your still here? | 00:11 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - 2.6.24-21-generic or 2.6.24-21-rt? | 00:11 |
kasutaja | PeskyJ, minimize? | 00:12 |
damian__ | UbuntuARMNetbook: generic | 00:12 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - there is a difference between the both | 00:12 |
hacked_kernel | I have 3 USB ports, one of them is USB 2, how can I know which one if them is the version 2 ? | 00:12 |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: i dont know. i wouldn't do it. but if your brave and have your data backed up, try it. you find gparted in system->admin->patitions | 00:12 |
kasutaja | PeskyJ, change size? | 00:12 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - there you are. Kindly get the -rt one :) | 00:12 |
PeskyJ | kasutaja: yeah, resize normally works, this is a fullscreen window though | 00:12 |
damian__ | UbuntuARMNetbook: thanks be back in a bit | 00:12 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplusc im just worried about what will happen if i unmount it | 00:12 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - I shall be waiting for you to get some sleep once you tell me the result :) | 00:13 |
paul678 | can someome kick my nick paul68 thanks | 00:13 |
=== poon is now known as l3r1k |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: you can not unmount / anymway :-) | 00:13 |
SiDi | Hey people | 00:13 |
DocUSN-USMC | anyone know the command for updating OOo | 00:13 |
mortal1 | does anyone here know if ubuntu now supports exsisting encrypted partitions out of the box? | 00:13 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplus what if i boot into the ubuntu live cd and use gparted from there? | 00:13 |
PeskyJ | kasutaja: ahh, alt+space minimise and reopen seemed to do it. | 00:14 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | mortal1 - yes. it is supported out of box | 00:14 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, there is a launchpad repository to add to your sources.list then it's automated (you might have to manually reinstall your dictionnary too) | 00:14 |
nintendork32 | would that work zsquareplus? | 00:14 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | mortal1 - you will need to use configuration commands | 00:14 |
mortal1 | I know before, you basically had to let it have it's way with the partition setup in order to use encrypted partitions | 00:14 |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: that would be a good way. (still make backups :-) | 00:14 |
DocUSN-USMC | SiDi what is it? | 00:14 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main and same for the deb-src | 00:14 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplusc backups would be impossible for me xD | 00:14 |
nintendork32 | well cya | 00:14 |
rOoNy911 | How much usage is it to update to 8.10 ubuntu? | 00:14 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: well chmod did enable me to view it, but if what you say is true for reboot, how can i reset the permissions? | 00:14 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | mortal1 - use: 1) sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils | 00:14 |
DocUSN-USMC | i have the new distro i just need to do the auto update cause it was a pain to go from old to new | 00:14 |
zsquareplusc | mortal1: yes, with the alternate-cd you can select to instal on encrypted partitions | 00:14 |
SiDi | Does anyone know if Ubuntu stickers are still available (esp. for europe/france :p) ? | 00:15 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | mortal1 - 2) ecryptfs-setup-private | 00:15 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Mortal1 - you will be done | 00:15 |
kasutaja | rOoNy911, pretty much :) | 00:15 |
esbatium | hi, i dont have bash but i have it in /bin/bash, can anyone help me? | 00:15 |
irpapabear | hello all | 00:15 |
devslashnull | whats the easiest way to share a folder in ubuntu so i can access it from my macbook ? | 00:15 |
mortal1 | interesting | 00:15 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, you need to add "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" and "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" to the file : /etc/apt/sources.list to get OOo 3 | 00:15 |
DaveDixonII | Can someone help me? | 00:15 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, then it'll pop-up in automatic updates | 00:15 |
rOoNy911 | kasutaja: how many MB is it? | 00:15 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: only if you ask a question | 00:15 |
DaveDixonII | http://pastebin.com/d6dbb6ede | 00:15 |
kasutaja | esbatium, /bin not in path? | 00:16 |
jrib | devslashnull: right click -> sharing options | 00:16 |
devslashnull | jrib where | 00:16 |
esbatium | kasutaja: yes it is | 00:16 |
jrib | devslashnull: on the folder | 00:16 |
zsquareplusc | Tyrath: well if you knew who crates the devices you could tweak that. as a workaround you could put the chmods in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (there is already a file like that you'd edit) | 00:16 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - try the -rt option. I will catch you later. Dont break your head with it if it doesnt work. Try tomorrow with a fresh mind and you might the solution :) | 00:16 |
DaveDixonII | jrib: I have no clue what i am supposed to do on this message: http://pastebin.com/d6dbb6ede | 00:16 |
UbuntuARMNetbook | Damian - And I shall catch you tomorrow. Cant control my sleep now :) :P lol | 00:16 |
devslashnull | um ok | 00:16 |
kasutaja | rOoNy911, most likely half a Gib | 00:16 |
SiDi | rOoNy911, not much afaik. If you're very limited you might find an exact answer looking for the alternate CD or by asking EEEPC owners on the forums | 00:16 |
* UbuntuARMNetbook Good Night and have a nice time here guys | 00:16 |
rOoNy911 | kasutaja: o_O Damnit | 00:17 |
Anacranom | otacon967, do you have both the .inf and the .sys files for the card? | 00:17 |
TJ-42 | ubuntu intrepid is using a later version of a software program than ubuntu hardy, which I am currently using. I don't want to upgrade yet, and so I was thinking of manually installing the newer version. *But*, if I do this, will I screw up the upgrade to 8.10? | 00:17 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: -ENOCONTEXT | 00:17 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: apparently /udev/rules.d/ handles dev permissions | 00:17 |
nibsa1242b | Firefox issue... when I print pages with graphics, only some of the graphics end up on my printout (example, mapquest has small icons for each turn, only some of the icons show up) | 00:17 |
Stargazer | How can i change what shows up in the terminal ? @PR-DE-UK-JP-CA:~$ | 00:17 |
jrib | Stargazer: google "custom bash prompt" | 00:17 |
dr_willis | Stargazer, if you mean the bash prompt? theres howtos on it. :) | 00:17 |
esbatium | can anyone help me? | 00:17 |
DaveDixonII | jrib: im afraid i dont understand. | 00:17 |
DocUSN-USMC | oh ok SiDi i get it, and add them as third party yes | 00:18 |
kasutaja | esbatium, no bash means you cannot run it typing bash or it is not default shell? | 00:18 |
SiDi | Stargazer, the file you need to edit is ".bashrc" located in your home. No idea about the how though. | 00:18 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: but when I looked in that folder I couldn't see anything that said partitions partitions :/ | 00:18 |
jrib | DocUSN-USMC: you need to give more context | 00:18 |
otacon967 | Anacranoun, yes. I have the .sys and the .inf files straight from my vista partition driver store | 00:18 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, yes, but note it might warn you about the origin of the files when you make an update | 00:18 |
esbatium | kasutaja: is not the default shell | 00:18 |
DocUSN-USMC | yeah i get that | 00:18 |
kasutaja | rOoNy911, but as someone said, it depens on your installed packages | 00:18 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, as long as your sources only contain stuff from ubuntu.com and launchpad.net there is nothing to worry about, though | 00:18 |
esbatium | kasutaja: my prompt is only "$" | 00:18 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: you need to give more context | 00:18 |
dr_willis | willis@black:~/Desktop(0 Mb)$ | 00:19 |
Anacranom | otacon967, can you copy them to your /home/username directory? | 00:19 |
Update_Manager | Hey, I got backports repo enabled, and the kernel is being held back. I got 2.6.27.7, and it's "proposing" i install the newest version. I am fully up to date besides that. It's okay to install those then, right? | 00:19 |
DaveDixonII | jRib: Im trying to install InspIRCd 1.1.21 | 00:19 |
rOoNy911 | kasutaja: Installed packages? I have 8.04 right now | 00:19 |
esbatium | kasutaja: $ /bin/bash | 00:19 |
esbatium | $ | 00:19 |
keystr0k | is there an IM client that can make use of my webcam? Pidgin plugin maybe? | 00:19 |
devslashnull | jrib i shared the folder but i dont see it shared on my mac | 00:19 |
DocUSN-USMC | yeah SiDi i used to have compiz fusion on it, but that takes to much resources it looks cool but blah | 00:19 |
Melik | i just cleaned my mouse, holy shit it was sooooo dusty inside | 00:19 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: install it from the repositories using APT | 00:19 |
nibsa1242b | Update_Manager: what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 00:19 |
SiDi | keystr0k, AMSN but i find their interface ugly (in terms of ergonomy/graphical integration) | 00:20 |
Update_Manager | keystr0k, not yet... I *think* Epiphany will soon. Sadly! (BTW is it MSN? If so I THINK aMSN does it) | 00:20 |
DaveDixonII | jrib: I have no clue what you just said dude. :( Sorry | 00:20 |
Update_Manager | nibsa1242b, It's Intrepid | 00:20 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: you don't know what APT or Synaptic are? | 00:20 |
kasutaja | esbatium, chsh does the change | 00:20 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, it's sexy and on my home PC it's just like no difference. Just a bit slow when it has to load the 5 wallpapers (each of them being about 2MB :p) | 00:20 |
Peddy | I want to make a rather complex batch processing script, can anyone help me with it? | 00:20 |
keystr0k | yeah. I cannot believe there isn't a Pidgin plugin for video chat. | 00:20 |
DaveDixonII | jrib: If i install InspIRCd threw Synatic, i get an error saying a file is missing.............. :/ | 00:20 |
jrib | devslashnull: connect to your ubuntu in finder (connect to server or something similar) | 00:20 |
keystr0k | gmail just added video chat within gmail | 00:21 |
SiDi | keystr0k, there might, i didn't really look at it | 00:21 |
marc__ | i was trying to install LAMP for testing purposes on Ibex. tasksel froze on me, and now when i try to install something i get an error saying failed, run dpkg --configure -a. When i do that i get an error about dependtry <= 4 failed aborted. I can no longer install anything. | 00:21 |
SiDi | keystr0k, if you want webcam with your msn friends, amsn is the one with best MSN protocol support | 00:21 |
DocUSN-USMC | lol SiDi but on a laptop its resource using | 00:21 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: tell us *that* error | 00:21 |
nibsa1242b | Update_Manager: I would manually update to the most recent kernel package, I think its 2.6.27-7-generic. When I installed I still had a previous version and it screwed some stuff up | 00:21 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, on my laptop i'll use either awesome or lxde :D | 00:21 |
kasutaja | rOoNy911, the installed packages is like many program you have installed, it can be either full desktop with hundres of progs or barebone server with no UI at all | 00:21 |
esbatium | kasutaja: i type chsh, now i need to logout and login? | 00:21 |
otacon967 | Anacranoun, yes. I can. Does the driver have to be on the ubu partition to use it? | 00:21 |
SiDi | DocUSN-USMC, no gnome/kde for better autonomy :P | 00:21 |
kasutaja | esbatium, don't know | 00:21 |
nibsa1242b | keystr0k: amsn does work alright... I've used it between an XP & Ubuntu machine before and it went smoothly | 00:22 |
DocUSN-USMC | SiDi gnome has its purpose in life | 00:22 |
Update_Manager | Ooooh. Maybe I'll turn off "proposed updates" so that I don't end up messing up Ubuntu. Thank you! :) | 00:22 |
keystr0k | mmkay | 00:22 |
Anacranom | otacon967, is easier to do ndiswrapper that way | 00:22 |

nibsa1242b | Update_Manager: unless you want to test out new features, and file bug reports I would stay away from "proposed updates" | 00:23 |
rOoNy911 | kasutaja: Ok thanks | 00:23 |
jrib | vaffanbruco: what are you doing? | 00:23 |
jrib | DaveDixonII: what did you execute to get that error? | 00:23 |
vaffanbruco | speak espagnol? | 00:23 |
esbatium | kasutaja: my shell its the same :( | 00:23 |

spamoom | Hi, could someone that is familiar with gnome sound controls and skype give me a hand getting skype to detect the microphone device, at the moment skype is sending what I can hear which means in order for people to hear me I have to change the sound settings so that I can hear myself which is terribly annoying :D | 00:23 |
Anacranom | otacon967, i sent invite.. accept | 00:23 |
DocUSN-USMC | thats kinda mean lol jrib lol | 00:23 |
DaveDixonII | jrib: i typed: inspircd | 00:23 |
SiDi | Does anyone know if System76 is still providing free stickers ? | 00:23 |
vaffanbruco | ok todo bien cico | 00:24 |
devslashnull | jrib ok so i did that and now its asking me to log in. i tried using my ubuntu login but it does not work | 00:24 |
jrib | DocUSN-USMC: what is? | 00:24 |
kasutaja | nibsa1242b, search firefox printing preferences, it is feature to save ink | 00:24 |
Fezzler | I need to install some packages: sun-java5-jre + libswt3.2-gtk-jni + libswt3.2-gtk-java | 00:24 |

tripitakit | dynavox: u'r looking for a DVD burning app, i suggestd k3b, that is for kde so it usses Qt libs, | 00:44 |
DocUSN-USMC | donald normal ubuntu? | 00:44 |
thiebaude | Sinani201: have much ram do you have? | 00:44 |
jrib | donald: what? | 00:44 |
Tyrath | zsquareplusc: ah k | 00:44 |
Led-Hed_ | Sinani201: why dont you give us a few more details, so that we can understand the problem. We arent mind readers | 00:44 |
SiDi | dynavox, you can try "apt-cache search qt" to find the good one. or even "aptitude search qt" that will show only packages with "qt" in the name. seek for libqt4 or something similar. | 00:44 |
JonathanEllis | Further to my previous post about volume labels, there is a helpful article here http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/Using+Disk+Labels+on+Linux+File+Systems | 00:44 |
Sinani201 | Well, it worked before | 00:44 |
devslashnull | jrib i do not want to upgrade | 00:44 |

Led-Hed_ | Sinani201: before what? | 00:44 |
jrib | devslashnull: 7.04 is no longer supported | 00:44 |
tripitakit | dynavox: if u apt-get install k3b the qt libs dependencies will be added | 00:44 |
donald | Someone said they used normal ubuntu. I was just curious what that means. | 00:44 |
devslashnull | jrib its 7.1 | 00:44 |
JonathanEllis | !ubuntustudio > bre4kbeat | 00:45 |
Sinani201 | Well, it worked fine until I changed the settings with the screen resolution. But I've tried running the game in every resolution, and it still wont work | 00:45 |
bre4kbeat | i get this error trying to install half life 2 could not be unmounted | 00:45 |
DocUSN-USMC | donald thier is no normal. its what your comfortable with | 00:45 |

cali_ | Wireless usb not working. Help. How do I trouble shoot why my wpn111 not working on 8.10. on version 2.24.1 | 00:45 |
devslashnull | jrib its 7.10 not 7.04. im not gonna upgrade | 00:45 |
donald | I know. It was a rhetorical question. | 00:45 |
Led-Hed_ | when I boot from the 8.10 LiveCD there is no /etc/asound.conf where else might I find those settings? ~/.asoundrc doesn't exist either | 00:45 |
phirestalker | is there a different channel if I want to ask questions about compiling a program? | 00:46 |
dynavox | tripitakit, which gtk app would you recommend? SiDi, thanks for your info. | 00:46 |
JonathanEllis | bre4kbeat: Yes Ubuntu studio has a lot of good audio apps. I have been using it on my laptop for a few weeks now and I think it's really good | 00:46 |
Sinani201 | Ummm... | 00:46 |
Tyrath | anyhow thanks for the help people | 00:46 |
SiDi | dynavox, about burning CDs it's brasero by default, dunny about others. | 00:46 |

bre4kbeat | and give an error? | 00:46 |
Led-Hed_ | phirestalker: you can try the #linux channel | 00:46 |
cali_ | Wireless usb not working. Help. How do I trouble shoot why my wpn111 not working on 8.10. on version 2.24.1 | 00:46 |
tripitakit | dynavox: if Brasero isnt owrking you can try gnomebaker | 00:47 |
bre4kbeat | An application is preventing the volume 'HL2_1' from being unmounted. | 00:47 |
donald | cali: Have you looked at the compatibility list for your hardward? | 00:47 |
donald | hardware | 00:47 |
rohm | anyone have any idea why I would be able to see any of the Windows PCs on my home network? | 00:48 |
dynavox | SiDi, tried Brasero and after much work, the Burn button is greyed out. tripitakit, i'll check out gnomebaker, thanks! | 00:48 |
damian__ | whats a software channel? i was going to install and was told updated version available in software channel. | 00:48 |
johannes_ | hi i ran this command: johannes@kleiner-pc:~/Downloads/wine-1.1.8$ patch -p0 -l cursor-patches-1.1.8.patch and i dont get any response, is it normal, that it takes a long time? | 00:49 |
tripitakit | damian__: it means in repositories | 00:49 |
thiebaude | damian__: what are you trying to install? | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | Umm | 00:49 |
donald | Do you have Samba configured? | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | Does anyone know why my Frets on Fire wont run? | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | Here's some info: | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | When I run it, the screen flickers black for a split second, then it closes. | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | It has worked before, but when I changed the screen resolution, it stopped working. I have tried running it in every screen resolution, but none have worked so far. | 00:49 |
damian__ | ndiswrapper | 00:49 |
FloodBot2 | Sinani201: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | Running it in the terminal gives me the same result, but returns this error: | 00:49 |
Sinani201 | X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) | 00:49 |

brianherman | hi | 00:49 |
rohm | I just installed Samba, but cant find it | 00:49 |
thiebaude | damian__: it should be in synaptic | 00:50 |

brianherman | ? what is circular scrolling? | 00:50 |
pymike | howdy, I'm trying to edit a text file for a game that's in /etc/egoboo. It denies me permission when I try to save it... how do I edit it? | 00:50 |
zsquareplusc | rohm: its a server. there is no icon in the menu for that. if you wanted to know this.. | 00:50 |
bullgard4 | What is the name of the list of the installed program packages on my Ubuntu computer? | 00:50 |
Sinani201 | brianherman: I think it's scrolling sideways with the mouse | 00:50 |
tripitakit | pymike: gksu gedit it | 00:50 |
brianherman | pymike: use this command sudo gedit /etc/egoboo | 00:50 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: synaptics? or "dpkg -l" | 00:51 |
brianherman | tripitakit: u beat me :-( | 00:51 |
pymike | thanks guys :) | 00:51 |
danbhfive | bullgard4: dpkg --get-selections something like that. see !clone if that doesnt work | 00:51 |

jrib | !samba > devslashnull | 00:51 |
ubottu | devslashnull, please see my private message | 00:51 |
jrib | devslashnull: see the docs then | 00:51 |
bre4kbeat | how can i unmount or eject my cd drive when i get an error on an install? | 00:51 |
devslashnull | im not sharing with windows. | 00:52 |
bre4kbeat | ive tried sudo unmount /media/cdrom0 | 00:52 |
donald | rohm: Do you have a local network and any Windows shares on that network? | 00:52 |
jrib | devslashnull: it doesn't matter | 00:52 |
bre4kbeat | sudo umount -f /media/cdrom0 | 00:52 |
pymike | huzzah it worked. ubuntu ftw | 00:52 |
bre4kbeat | nothing works | 00:52 |
dr_willis | bre4kbeat, you mean with WINE game Installs? | 00:52 |
zsquareplusc | johannes_: maybe you need -p1. check the path that are in the patch and if your files can be found with them (the -p settings stripps off the path from the beginning) | 00:52 |
tripitakit | brianherman: anyway it's better use gksu for x applications rather than sudo | 00:52 |
bre4kbeat | yea | 00:52 |
donald | rohm: If you have a local network, do you see it when you select Places | Network? | 00:52 |
lianimator | what does set-int-prop for xinput do? does the config stick or reverts after X restarts? | 00:52 |
dr_willis | bre4kbeat, then ya should say so.. :) in the past ive copied ALL the data files from the game cd's to a single directory and ran the game insatller from that directory.. no need to swap cds at all then | 00:53 |
ogre | okay guys. I have a ipw3945 wireless card and its not working. iwconfig sees the device. any suggestions on what it could be? | 00:53 |
neo644 | How come my sound isnt working for flash? It works for everything else. | 00:53 |
bre4kbeat | good idea | 00:53 |
tripitakit | ogre: try wicd if nm wont work | 00:53 |
binarymutant | tripitakit, why is it better to use gksu? I've read about it but never really go it | 00:53 |
asenine | Hey guys, I have downloaded nvidia-glx-new using apt-get, now how do i set it up? | 00:54 |
jrib | devslashnull: in particular: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/networking-shares.html | 00:54 |
dr_willis | bre4kbeat, anotehr method is to run the installer from a terminal, but not from the 'cdrom' driectory.. ie: from your home dir.. wine /media/cdrom/whatever.exe that sometimes works | 00:54 |
devslashnull | jrib do i need to manually run samba after choosing share folder in ubuntu | 00:54 |
=== paul__ is now known as paul678 |
dynavox | tripitakit, looks like gnomebaker wil work but doesn't seem to work for my application which is to create a DVD that's playable on a DVD player (for TV watching) | 00:54 |
tripitakit | binarydigit: i had the same questions, someone told me that sometimes sudo can give issues with apps | 00:54 |
jrib | devslashnull: I don't remember how samba worked before hardy | 00:54 |
CelticLord | nuit!! | 00:54 |
tripitakit | binarydigit: sorry was for binarymutant | 00:54 |
jrib | devslashnull: that last link should tell you everything step by step | 00:54 |
nickh | Hello - Does anyone know of a decent Analog VU Meter applet that can be used in-line with the default media players in Ubuntu (Intrepid)? | 00:55 |
ericrw | anyone know where I can find the intrepid script for debootstrap? It isn't in the 1.0.10 archive | 00:55 |
tripitakit | dynavox: u can check deeveedee, if i remember well | 00:55 |
dr_willis | !info DeVeDe | 00:55 |
ubottu | devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.11-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1462 kB, installed size 3340 kB | 00:55 |

phirestalker | ok now that I installed the new libtool 2.2.4 I can't compile some programs, what are some things I can do to get them working | 00:55 |
dynavox | tripitakit, ah, DeVeDe, yep, will try it, thanks | 00:55 |
tripitakit | dr_willis: ty, wa devede := | 00:55 |
zsquareplusc | binarydigit: because with sudo, the environment is still set for the current user. so if the application you run writes files, these belong to root but are in your folder. that often so issue until you do that with a file that is required to login. then you might run into problems... | 00:55 |
obvictor | does anyone know how to get a webcam to work with the live video effect on Cinelerra? | 00:55 |
devslashnull | jrib ok thanks i fixed it. i had to do smbpasswd in terminal | 00:55 |
dr_willis | I like DeVeDe.. it just has a few quirks i dont like... | 00:55 |
zsquareplusc | s/so/no | 00:56 |
johannes_ | zsquarepluc maybe its a problem, because it says 8.04 and im using 8.10? | 00:56 |
tripitakit | dr_willis: it is really slowww or I dont remember well ? | 00:56 |
zsquareplusc | dr_willis: lice cacualting file sizes wrong by a factor of 2? ;-) | 00:56 |
dynavox | dr_willis, as long as it works to make a DVD for my parents to use, i like it. Brasero wouldn't | 00:56 |
dr_willis | tripitakit, its using mencoder/ffmpeg as the main work.. so i dont see why it would be any slower then other apps... | 00:56 |
tripitakit | dynavox: brasero is not intende for that use | 00:56 |
binarymutant | zsquareplusc, it's in your ~/ but in a distro like ubuntu why have it in /root? | 00:57 |
asenine | Hey guys, does apt-get install actually install the app as well as download it? If so, I am utterly confused by nvidia-glx-new | 00:57 |
tripitakit | dr_willis: so it was just a bad reminding | 00:57 |
thiebaude | asenine: downlaods and then installs | 00:57 |
dr_willis | dynavox, devede is designed for that task ie: converting videos .. brasero is designed toburn data disks.. : You are thinking everything should be like nero and does EVERYTHING.. :) | 00:57 |
tripitakit | dr_willis: ty for the explanations | 00:57 |
dynavox | tripitakit, it calims to be. it allows DVD projects where you add files and then supposedly burn a DVD, no? | 00:58 |
marcosroriz | Hi I'm currently running the linux 2.6.22.8-generic kernel in Ubuntu Intrepid and does anyone knows if there is a way to display both the verbose and the usplash in the booting? I tried removing the quiet parameter from the boot -- ||||| root=UUID=4152edab-fdbf-4564-b5c4-9b17a0793aa8 ro quiet splash ||||| but that left me only with the versobe boot... | 00:58 |
bullgard4 | zsquareplusc: Synaptics is unrelated to the question which I have put. | 00:58 |
paul678 | rdw200169_: are you still alive my friend? | 00:58 |
asenine | thiebaude: I thought so, but shouldn't there be an nVidia settings panel then? Also, I can't get my res to go up beyond 800x600 for the life of me | 00:58 |
dr_willis | I supposed i could do some test to see if nero does it faster then devede.. but theres so many options to the video-reencoding.. its hard to justify the effort. :) | 00:58 |
tripitakit | dynavox: a DVD is just an optical support | 00:58 |
kri | hi i noticed when i installed ubuntu 8.10 the different installation guide. So i missed to install with fully encryption. If im not wrong the full encryption is still avaible right? | 00:58 |
bullgard4 | danbh | 00:58 |
dynavox | dr_willis, i misunderstood Brasero's terminology, then. | 00:58 |
=== timburke|desktop is now known as timburke |
dr_willis | Devede lets you take various video files and create a playable dvd with dvd menus. Ive not noticed brasero having that feature.. but i do tend touse k3b. | 00:59 |
tripitakit | dynavox: if u want a tv playable dvd with a movie on it it's a different job i guess (but i can be wrong) | 00:59 |
dynavox | thanks tripitakit, i realize it may be for filesystem-based burns. | 00:59 |
dr_willis | making the 'dvd'is the easy part.. converting the videos to the proper format is the hard part.. :) | 00:59 |
thiebaude | asenine: im not sure | 00:59 |
dr_willis | generating a decent dvd menu - is the annoying part. ;P | 00:59 |
dynavox | dr_willis, perhaps that's the problem | 00:59 |
marcosroriz | Hi I'm currently running the linux 2.6.22.8-generic kernel in Ubuntu Intrepid and does anyone knows if there is a way to display both the verbose and the usplash in the booting?

johannes_ | zsquarepluc ah ok I need to change the paths got it | 01:00 |
dynavox | dr_willis, Brasero seemd to be hinting that it could, just showing thumbnails of the included video files | 01:00 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: removing only quiet should give a usplash verbose boot | 01:01 |
dr_willis | or wasit the gnome file manager showing the thumbnails.. | 01:01 |
thiebaude | asenine: do you mean nvidia-settings? | 01:01 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: the intrepid kernel you're using sounds old to me | 01:02 |
JonathanEllis | Hi. I am editing my grub menu. I use volume labels to identify my partitions. Can I use groot=LABEL=<label> rather than groot=(hdx,y)? | 01:03 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: how did you get that kernel in intrepid? | 01:03 |
marcosroriz | tripitakit, update :D | 01:03 |
obvictor | does anyone know how to get a webcam to work with the live video effect on Cinelerra? | 01:03 |
marcosroriz | I wanted something like that...http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ubuntucu4.png | 01:03 |
dr_willis | dynavox, brassero does seem to say it can do that.. nifty.. must be new. | 01:04 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: oh i see :) | 01:04 |
marcosroriz | tripitakit, I remove the quiet but It only shows the verbose | 01:04 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: not any usplah? | 01:04 |
asenine | thiebaude: yes, is that a separate pkg | 01:04 |
thiebaude | Dr_willis:what do i search for in synaptic if i want the latest kernel, im using 8.04 | 01:04 |
asenine | thiebaude: Downloading nvidia-settings, thanks | 01:05 |
thiebaude | asenine: ok | 01:05 |
dynavox | dr_willis, yeah, but after creating a project and clicking Burn, the next dialog has a grayed burn button and it won't go past that no matter what changes are made to the attributes. | 01:05 |
dr_willis | thiebaude, if you update/upgrade it should get it all. | 01:05 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: i did it, removin quiet, and I have a verbose usplash in Intrepid (and Jaunty too) | 01:05 |
dr_willis | dynavox, bummer :) | 01:05 |
thiebaude | dr | 01:05 |
dynavox | dr_wilis, tell me about it! ;) | 01:05 |
dr_willis | dynavox, nero has everyone trained that a 'burning app' also needs to convet and do all this other work. :P | 01:05 |
raboof | hmm. linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-rt contained fglrx, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-3-rt doesn't. | 01:05 |

dr_willis | thiebaude, i rarely worry about it.. :) | 01:07 |

marcosroriz | tripitakit, with splash only (without quite) I get verbose | 01:08 |
dr_willis | shaya, with exactly 4gb.. and 32bit..you might not get full access to all the ram.. | 01:08 |
binarymutant | raboof, what's that? | 01:08 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: so no splah, i got it now :P | 01:08 |
dr_willis | shaya, for 32bit onmy laptop with 4gb.. i lose like 100mb of ram.. | 01:08 |
shaya | edr_willis: in this case, it's a 780G motherboard | 01:08 |
raboof | binarymutant: something related to my radeon video card | 01:08 |
shaya | dr_willis: due to video card? | 01:09 |
binarymutant | raboof, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fglrx&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all | 01:09 |
freddy_engels | ville__: It depends on the computers and network you're using | 01:09 |
shaya | in this case, the video card's ram is out of memory | 01:09 |
dr_willis | shaya, the exact amoung depends on video card and other hardware | 01:09 |
shaya | due to onboard | 01:09 |
johannes_ | what can this mean: http://pastebin.com/m3f4a04d6 ? | 01:09 |
shaya | so I lose 256mb | 01:09 |
high-freq | anyone know how to fix this problem? Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer. | 01:09 |
shaya | so its really 4GB-256 | 01:09 |
tripitakit | marcosroriz: when you say verbose you mean a text verbose boot, am I right? | 01:09 |
marcosroriz | tripitakit, yep | 01:09 |
dr_willis | shaya, that would also take away from it all.. but even with a serpate video card.. you still would not get ALL of the 4gb | 01:09 |
high-freq | i have already edited the /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh and the udev rules | 01:09 |
shaya | leaning towards 32bit | 01:09 |

tripitakit | marcosroriz: so the issue is where the usplash is gone? | 01:10 |
dr_willis | shaya, so do whatever ya want. with 4gb of ram - a few mb iseng going to matter.. | 01:10 |
shaya | so if you have a 512MB card, that has to be mapped | 01:10 |
phirestalker | ok now that I installed the new libtool 2.2.4 I can't compile some programs, what are some things I can do to get them working | 01:10 |

tehdave | Have a sound issue - getting no sound from anything, and when I hit the "test" button in Sound Preferences to test the ALSA driver, I get an error: could not open audio device for playback | 01:10 |

asenine | Hey guys, I have just installed nvidia-settings, which then proceeded to request nvidia-xconfig, which I noticed uninstalled my nvidia-glx-new, but anyway... basically it says that there is a validation error and that it cannot continue due to the absence of driver line in 'configured video device'. I have always sucked at editing my xorg, do I just need to add a line below in the same... | 01:11 |
asenine | ...format with 'driver' at the beginning? | 01:11 |

xim_ | does ubuntu have an equivalent command to netstat in windows that lists all current tcpip connections? | 01:13 |
shaya | dr_willis: the main problem w/ 64bit as I understand it is "plugins" | 01:13 |
shaya | though it also uses more memory due to 64bit pointers | 01:13 |
marcosroriz | tripitakit, nope | 01:13 |
tripitakit | xim_: netstat | 01:13 |

Pyrophelia | phirestalker, yes | 01:22 |
Pyrophelia | Darkbishop, I could but why would I want to? I'm never going to mount this iso again. | 01:23 |

manzur_ | people | 01:23 |
Eight-ten | Pandemic187, easiest way i can think of is to make a backup of your icon theme (your home, then .icons folder) then replace all the icons (eg. volume.png) with the new image. | 01:23 |

tripitakit | high-freq: are you still here? | 01:23 |

Eight-ten | llffrrwcc, oh, so they are in /usr/share/pixmaps maybe? | 01:24 |
tripitakit | high-freq: fine:) are you in intrepid or hardy? | 01:24 |

csilk | UBUSAE, It looks like you need to install GRUB | 01:35 |
f3ng14 | llffrrwcc, I'm poor in english and i'm so tired to read the manpages | 01:35 |

llffrrwcc | carter, most linux music player support ipods | 01:35 |
UBUSAE | but I can I reinstall grub ???? | 01:35 |
tripitakit | carter: gtkpod | 01:36 |
f3ng14 | llffrrwcc, i have spent a whole night to work with this | 01:36 |
jordanv | llffrrwcc: i cant find the 188 beta driver, and if i do find it how do i install it | 01:36 |
pino | "I have a problem with my firefox on my ASUS EEE 900. The CPU Load is very high and is not possible to close ff complete. Only with killall. What can I do?" No ideaß | 01:36 |
UBUSAE | use live cd ? | 01:36 |
csilk | UBUSAE, I will once more link you to the tutorial | 01:36 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: do you know anything about how I can tell if it's using foo2zjs? I don't know where to tell it which driver to use | 01:36 |

jordanv | alright | 01:36 |

UBUSAE | Grub but how ??? | 01:37 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: it's a network one (plugs straight in) - th eIP is 192.168.1.250 - I have no idea of the port number | 01:37 |
csilk | UBUSAE, follow the tutorial word for word | 01:37 |
Gnea | UBUSAE: by reading the website. | 01:37 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: I will try 631 though :) | 01:37 |
llffrrwcc | PeskyJ, what i told you is the cups manager :) | 01:37 |
tripitakit | UBUSAE you need a live cd and reading the tutorial | 01:37 |
csilk | I gave him the luink twice | 01:37 |
UBUSAE | oh ok | 01:38 |
csilk | *link | 01:38 |
Eight-ten | Who knows of a program that fetches album covers and saves them to my disk, that's not dificult to use | 01:38 |
UBUSAE | can it alternate CD ? | 01:38 |
csilk | YES | 01:38 |
Gnea | UBUSAE: you just need to read the website and follow directions. | 01:38 |
llffrrwcc | f3ng14, its too hard to do: telnet smtpserver 25 and write? :) | 01:38 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: oh right, I see | 01:38 |
UBUSAE | but in alternate CD there no gui interface | 01:38 |
UBUSAE | and the website showing tut for gui interface | 01:38 |
tripitakit | UBUSAE: you dont need the gui for that task | 01:38 |
llffrrwcc | PeskyJ, that will help you manage your printers and stuff. | 01:39 |
csilk | UBUSAE, You dont need one, now go follow the tutorial | 01:39 |
Gnea | UBUSAE: if you can't handle a commandline interface, then perhaps linux isn't for you. | 01:39 |
llffrrwcc | its the same concept as swat for samba | 01:39 |
UBUSAE | I will try my best | 01:39 |
llffrrwcc | Gnea, what? you are saying that and you use buntu? :) | 01:39 |
tripitakit | Gnea, give him an opportunity | 01:39 |
Gnea | tripitakit: oh, I am | 01:39 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: ok... seems to have the same info as the printer config tool | 01:39 |
csilk | pfft like he deserves it | 01:39 |
tripitakit | UBUSAE: if u dont understan some steps come back here | 01:39 |

=== lolitsgriff] is now known as lolitsgriff |
csilk | meh | 01:40 |
Gnea | exactly. | 01:40 |
lolitsgriff | Yeah. So still having problems no one is willing to fix/is knowledgable enough to fix. | 01:40 |
tripitakit | cslik he's just afraid | 01:40 |
llffrrwcc | PeskyJ, look at what printer driver says | 01:40 |
lolitsgriff | Can't put discs in my CD drive or 8.10 will crash upon attempting to mount. | 01:41 |
lolitsgriff | How do I fix it. | 01:41 |
csilk | tripitakit, Sounds like you're sugar coating his want to be spoon fed | 01:41 |
llffrrwcc | PeskyJ, you can : modify printer or set printer options | 01:41 |
tripitakit | cslik no i'm not... | 01:41 |
Gnea | tripitakit: give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, show a man how to fish and he'll be set. | 01:41 |
f3ng14 | llffrrwcc, i think i need to read more doc about this | 01:41 |
csilk | some people don't want to fish | 01:42 |
tripitakit | Gnea: i agree 100% | 01:42 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: it seems to have some good help on network printers, how to test the connection which I think is the issue :) | 01:42 |
tripitakit | cslik they'll dye of hunger | 01:42 |
lolitsgriff | 1359 users don't know how to fix this problem? Genius community we have here. | 01:42 |
csilk | tripitakit, That's hardly a bad thing | 01:42 |
llffrrwcc | PeskyJ, just print a test page if its print its not connection issue | 01:42 |
llffrrwcc | if its print bad its driver issue | 01:42 |
llffrrwcc | this all is seteable from there. | 01:42 |
ardchoille | lolitsgriff: and how many of those users are looking at their irc client right now? | 01:42 |
tripitakit | cslik my point is just no need to be rude :) | 01:42 |
llffrrwcc | try some google in order to find what driver works well with your printer | 01:43 |
linuxjoe | hi all, new ubuntu and linux user here | 01:43 |
cali_ | donald | 01:43 |
lolitsgriff | ardchoille: not the point- the point is I haven't gotten an answer, even after googling, being on the forum, and being here for days. | 01:43 |
* llffrrwcc loves kde 2.x | 01:43 |

devslashnull | whats a godo vnc server for ubuntu | 01:43 |
llffrrwcc | if you want to do it the old way, im not sure, but there is prolly an script. | 01:43 |
tripitakit | Gnea: ok sorry, in italian ubuntu-it that waould be really rude ;) | 01:43 |
Gnea | tripitakit: mind if I PM you? | 01:43 |
Eight-ten | llffrrwcc, I know, but banshee isnt doing it, songbird isnt doing it... | 01:43 |
csilk | tripitakit, Yeah I see your point I just find it annoying that you show someone the way, point to very basic easy to follow steps, then instead of reading those steps he insists on asking question that the tutorial answers ion the first line, at least make an effort to just look at the resources provided before getting caps lock crazy on us | 01:43 |

Dr_willis | devslashnull, i got my laptop and desktop set to have the gnome desktop shared that way at least.. | 01:54 |
paul68 | linuxjoe: my laptop can access the internet that's how I'm talking to you right now however my server can't connect to the internet | 01:54 |
devslashnull | Dr_willis, it says connection terminated right away. | 01:54 |
Andrei1 | It shows me /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 in the "Before partitioning" thing and 100% in the "After Partitioning" thing, but when I hit FORWARD, it says it cannot partition /dev/sda1 or something. I used the "Guided" setting. | 01:54 |

mud | Hey all... there was an installer made for Ubuntu 3rd party set up kinnda like automatix2 but it allowed you to install alot of 3rd party apps, including games that where not in .deb's... anyone recall this application? | 01:54 |
PeskyJ | llffrrwcc: The page http://localhost:631/help/network.html#TABLE1 seems to be some help, I changed the device URI from socket:// to lpd:// (It's a QMS printer)... does the /ps on th eend mean to include exactly that? | 01:54 |
devslashnull | Dr_willis, i removed the :5900 part frrom the address | 01:55 |
Xacarith | I'll try back later then... Good luck to all. | 01:55 |
lolitsgriff | csilk: I've had a thread posted for a week or two on the forums with no replies other than myself- but it has plenty of views. I've been camping the IRC for a few days as well with still no reply. And I did Absolutely NOTHING to instigate the problem | 01:55 |
devslashnull | Dr_willis, tyhe exact message is "connection terminated: the server closed the connection" | 01:55 |
Andrei1 | /dev/sda1 is my main harddrive I think, seeing as how it shows a total of 160GB space. For some reason it can't partition that. I tried going to the Manual setting, but I didn't know what to make it Partition as. | 01:55 |
lolitsgriff | csilk: It just started happening after Intrepid. | 01:55 |
linuxjoe | er, yes ari, but its a bit hard to see everything with all the text being typed here, wanna private chat paul and see if we can sort something out m8, I have about 15-20 mins free time | 01:55 |
paul68 | rebooting brb | 01:56 |
csilk | lolitsgriff, the lack of response will be due to the fact no-one has been able to replicate your problem | 01:56 |

lolitsgriff | csilk: Linuxjoe has the same problem. | 01:56 |
csilk | lolitsgriff, Is it exactly the same problem? | 01:56 |
lolitsgriff | csilk: Yes. | 01:56 |
linuxjoe | andrei, r u saying that during the install process, it wont let you choose guided and use all of your hard drive? | 01:56 |

Andrei1 | I mean, it lets me choose guided | 01:57 |
Dr_willis | devslashnull, no hassles with it here from a linuix to linux box.. | 01:57 |
devslashnull | Dr_willis, im connecting from a mac | 01:57 |
linuxjoe | is there anything installed on your hard drive already, or is it split into partitions | 01:57 |
Andrei1 | The problem is that something happens about 15% through the guided install that makes it fail | 01:57 |

ahugh3s | this is crazy, how hard can it be to bloody install mp3, xvid, divx aac... eta codecs on Intrepid. I used easyubuntu on v6.x and yeah... it ROCKED. But it won't work with intrepid. Mediubuntu doesn't list what packages do what... it's bloody annoying | 01:57 |
lolitsgriff | csilk: And they worked fine with Hardy, why wouldn't they work with Intrepid. | 01:58 |

csilk | ? | 01:58 |
Mortuis | How do I call up a pdf file from the command line? | 01:58 |
Andrei1 | No linuxjoe, I was unable to run it off the CD (kept freezing at the loading screen), so I chose "install inside windows" and chose Ubuntu to boot up at the boot menu | 01:58 |
ahugh3s | tah Flannel | 01:58 |
UBUSAE | I will try to see alternative cd tut | 01:58 |
lolitsgriff | csilk: Upgrade. I can't risk the data I have on this computer. | 01:59 |
Andrei1 | and now when I try to fully install it, it won't partition. I don't even know what partitioning means, to be honest. | 01:59 |
linuxjoe | ahugh3, if you open the media player, I think its xmedia player or something it should automatically download the codecs for you m8 | 01:59 |
vox | Mortuis: as in view one from the command line? | 01:59 |
Mortuis | vox: As in launch the viewer from the command line. | 01:59 |

csilk | UBUSAE, your seriously telling me that you didnt even read the tutorial I sent you? | 01:59 |
mud | Ultamatix! wow 2 hrs to find that lol | 01:59 |
linuxjoe | andrei, you cant install linux insdie windows m8, u need to use a piece of software called wubi, google it | 02:00 |

PeskyJ | ahaaa.. in CUPS, is the driver selected by the protocol type? for example socket:// uses one driver and lpd:// uses another? | 02:01 |

linuxjoe | are u using the buntu graphics drivers, or native nvidia ones vox? | 02:05 |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: you really want to format a drive/partition? you need to umont it and then us mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdXXX or whatever options you like. if you take the wrong device the data is lost and not recoverable. do this very carefulè | 02:05 |
devslashnull | Dr_willis, im on 7.10 | 02:05 |
Dr_willis | Guess its optional. :) | 02:05 |

Dr_willis | devslashnull, how did you enable the vnc/shared desktop desktop? | 02:06 |
lolitsgriff | well w/e. I'm gonna get off for the night. Hopefully someone finds a fix. | 02:06 |
linuxjoe | most native drivers aren't written to be fully functional in linux, they dont want us to use linux m8, so I would suggest disactivating the nvidia driver and using the ubuntu ones to see if that cures your problem m8 | 02:06 |
=== jonna is now known as pyrohotdog |

bLand | I have a Atheros AR5007 wifi card but for some reason ubuntu doesn't see it | 02:07 |
zsquareplusc | nintendork32: "dmesg" shows a log and tells you the device name. or while it is mounted, you could use "mount". after formating unplug and replug so that gnome mounts the stick again | 02:08 |
linuxjoe | yeah but nvidia has a working partner ship with microcrap m8, they get paid not to develop properly for linux, and I heard that straight from the horses mouth m8 | 02:08 |
nintendork32 | zsquareplusc is there a GUI to make this less scary? | 02:08 |
csilk | Yeah sorry Flannel, bad day. No excuse for attitude though. | 02:09 |
tripitakit | bLand: are you using network-manager? try with wicd ... | 02:09 |
linuxjoe | try the ubuntu drivers and if they work then use them, I tried official nvidia drivers and they r crap for me m8 | 02:09 |

linuxjoe | no johannes, u need 64 bit version m8 | 02:13 |
Dr_willis | <johannes_> yes you can. force them.. but dont expect them to work... | 02:13 |
vox | johannes_: you can install a 32bit chroot and run 32bit programs from there | 02:14 |
zsquareplusc | johannes_: yes its is possible. but i see a wine packet in my 64 bit ibex | 02:14 |
Dr_willis | johannes_, whats so special about that wine? | 02:14 |
johannes_ | i need one with animated cursor support | 02:14 |
linuxjoe | look for a alternative distro on web which uses deb and supports wine and 64 bit, i think some do | 02:14 |
linuxjoe | wine lets u run windows programs on linux and freebsd o/s's | 02:15 |
vox | linuxjoe: of course ubuntu isnt going to support the nvidia binary. why would they? | 02:15 |

zsquareplusc | johannes_: a complete linux install in a subfolder, you run by typing chroot | 02:15 |
linuxjoe | vox, exactly why would they, unless the offical ones are coded totally differently m8, so try both versions and see which version works best | 02:15 |
Flannel | Shoopuf1: delete the files | 02:16 |

lakitu | is there any log of keystrokes i've made, that i can recover? i just lost a post in IRC, & i'd like to get it back | 02:20 |
PakoTM | please | 02:20 |
philippe_ | zsquareplusc, ok! i'll give it a try, thank you | 02:20 |
supravat | I have found a bug in Ubuntu | 02:20 |
linuxjoe | i am saying the ones installed by the ubuntu o/s are developed by ubuntu, drivers found on nvidias web site are developed by nvidia m8 | 02:20 |
supravat | when I type $sudo su | 02:20 |
supravat | it prompts for password | 02:20 |
Flannel | !enter | supravat | 02:20 |
zsquareplusc | lakitu: some channels are logged. does that help? | 02:20 |
ubottu | supravat: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:20 |
lakitu | zsquareplusc, nah, it was my buffer/editbox | 02:20 |
pillow | wow Ubuntu xchat loads right into freenode, thats why every ones here | 02:21 |
Dr_willis | supravat, dont use 'su' its basicially disabled by default inubuntu,. if you want a root shell use 'sudo -s' | 02:21 |
PakoTM | no hay oper y estan jodiendo el canal | 02:21 |
lakitu | not buffer -- editbox | 02:21 |
lakitu | zsquareplusc, not buffer -- editbox | 02:21 |
Flannel | linuxjoe: that's wrong. | 02:21 |
zsquareplusc | lakitu: if you sent the text, arrow-up scrolls though the history in many clients. if you did not send it, its probably lost | 02:21 |
abortd | how do i search on apt-get through terminal i cant remember for some reason :/ | 02:22 |
Dr_willis | supravat, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 02:22 |
lakitu | zsquareplusc, ok, dang. no big deal. i think i'm going to enable a keylogger on my system for that reason. i am a writer... | 02:22 |
Flannel | abortd: apt-cache search | 02:22 |
vox | linuxjoe: dude, seriously, learn about what the hell you're talking about. the ONLY difference between the ones on the nvidia site, and the ones available on ubuntu, is that the nvidia-glx package maintainers have already downloaded the binary from nvidia and stuck it in a .deb for you. Please, for the love of God, do NOT tell people things you know nothing about. | 02:22 |
zsquareplusc | abortd: apt-cache search | 02:22 |
zmjjmz | Guys, #ubuntu-es has been trolled over. | 02:22 |
pyrohotdog | abortd: apt-cache search string | 02:22 |
Flannel | Dr_willis: He hasnt fully stated his problem, how do you know what he's asking? | 02:22 |
abortd | nice thanks | 02:22 |
Xang | Can anyone op up in ubuntu-es? There is a flooder in the channel. | 02:23 |
zsquareplusc | lakitu: cut instead of delete instead and have glipper or an other clipboard manager :-) | 02:23 |
linuxjoe | is it flannel, soz was private there fer a mo | 02:23 |
Flannel | Xang: #ubuntu-irc is the place to go for that | 02:23 |
pillow | Hey guys i just dual booted vista/Ubuntu and Ubuntu is in 800X600 with no option for a bigger screen rez any ideas? | 02:23 |
linuxjoe | theni f its wrong, I stand corrected m8 | 02:23 |
supravat | I tried but, for the second time when I type the same command it does not prompt for the password | 02:23 |
rendero | hello, anybody knows how to make krfb running at startup, i get a "cannot connect to X server" message when i try my script | 02:23 |
uhsf | my xinetd fails to start | 02:23 |
vox | linuxjoe: you are so amazingly wrong i dont know where to start. | 02:23 |
uhsf | bind failed (Permission denied (errno = 13)). service = auth | 02:23 |
Xpistos | Can someone help me mount a folder on a different system to a folder in my home directory on my laptop? | 02:24 |
uhsf | bad service attribute: logonfailure [file=/etc/xinetd.d/auth] [line=9] | 02:24 |
Xang | Flannel: Thanks. | 02:24 |
Dr_willis | supravat, Huh when you use sudo it 'caches' the password for a few min. so you dont have to reenter the sudo users password. Unless you are having some deeper issue.. | 02:24 |
lakitu | zsquareplusc, i already had a cut, so i re-cut, losing the first words. yeah, clipboard manager =) thanks, i'll look up glipper | 02:24 |
Johnny_5 | when i scp from another computer is it ok 2 stop it then start again on a later date or later time? or does it have to be done in one sitting? | 02:25 |
linuxjoe | supravat, type CTRL and F2 to get into superuser mode, then type gksu and terminal and optionally folder to go straight to chosen folder, it will ask u for password then m8 | 02:25 |
zsquareplusc | Johnny_5: you might want to try rsync | 02:26 |
Johnny_5 | k | 02:26 |
linuxjoe | oops that gksu terminal /etc/whateverfolders | 02:26 |
supravat | linuxjoe: thanks | 02:26 |
linuxjoe | did it work m8? | 02:26 |
Johnny_5 | zsquareplusc: how does that work? | 02:27 |
linuxjoe | damn i missed irc :)) | 02:27 |
linuxjoe | supravat, did it work m8? | 02:27 |
supravat | yup | 02:28 |
linuxjoe | cool m8 | 02:28 |
zsquareplusc | Johnny_5: rsync synchronizes folders/files and only copies the differences. it can also work with ssh so that your data is encrypted in the network | 02:28 |
hatemtmtm | hi every body i have ati x1100 and i need it's driver | 02:28 |
linuxjoe | amazing wot u can learn in a few days on a new O/S eh :)) | 02:28 |
Dr_willis | supravat be VERY carefull when running the filemanager as the root user.. You can easially mess up things.. | 02:28 |
manzur | hello | 02:28 |
Johnny_5 | zsquareplusc: sweet | 02:29 |
linuxjoe | hatemtmtm doesnt ubuntu install a driver that u can use? | 02:29 |
CoJaBo | I can't get mdadm to report when a disk in a RAID array fails, any idea why? | 02:29 |
hatemtmtm | no | 02:29 |
Johnny_5 | zsquareplusc: so how does it work? what's the comand? | 02:29 |
supravat | Dr_wills: yup when I'm superuser it becomes a resposibility | 02:29 |
zsquareplusc | Johnny_5: just be careful that you don't sync into the wrong direction with the mirror/delete option ;-) | 02:29 |
hatemtmtm | when i use it ubuntu doesn't work | 02:30 |
linuxjoe | other than that go to system menu > admin > hardware testing | 02:30 |
zsquareplusc | Johnny_5: i dont use it often. check the man page "man rsync" it has examples | 02:30 |
linuxjoe | it might say that there is an official driver that u can download and use m8 | 02:30 |
rendero | hello, anybody knows how to make krfb running at startup, i get a "cannot connect to X server" message when i try my script | 02:30 |
Johnny_5 | k | 02:30 |
dig | hi, is there any way to restore files association? | 02:30 |
Dr_willis | supravat - ive seen peoople set up their root user themes to be very diffefrent colors. (bright reds) so they can tell what file manager is a root one.. Not sure if that still works these days.. | 02:30 |
pillow | how do you update ubuntu drivers? | 02:30 |
zsquareplusc | rendero: start it when the x session starts, not when the computer boots (i.e. not /etc/init.d) | 02:31 |
linuxjoe | pillow what drivers u want to update exactly m8 | 02:31 |
Flannel | Dr_willis: Of course it works | 02:31 |
LLMP | is it possible for me to listen to my music from my home computer that uses windows media center from my laptop | 02:31 |
pillow | My video card, i just installed ubuntu | 02:31 |
pillow | and my screen rez is stuck at 800X600 | 02:31 |
supravat | Dr_wills: Till now I din't try this | 02:31 |
zsquareplusc | Dig: click on a file of that type, open properties and go to the open with tab to select application | 02:32 |
rendero | zsquareplusc, ok, i know what to do not, but i do not know what to do | 02:32 |
michalski-bj | how do i disable compiz...? | 02:32 |
linuxjoe | PILLOW, go to system menu > admin > hardware testing, it might tell u that there are officla drivers available for u to install m8 | 02:32 |
Dr_willis | supravat, its one of those things thats proberly best to not be doing. :) | 02:32 |
supravat | Dr_wills: I will try it later | 02:32 |
pillow | thanks | 02:32 |
Randomly | With 8.04, can't get on network anymore. Was working fine all year. "Connection Information" shows I got an IP address in the 192.168 range. I can ping the router. I cannot surf to the router, or anywhere else. Email & chat also dead. | 02:32 |

Randomly | Need help. :-( | 02:32 |
manzur | do you people think that packagekit is better than add/remove tool? | 02:32 |
LLMP | when i am on my school server i want to listen and put music on my mp3 player from my school network | 02:32 |
pyrohotdog | michalski-bj: run: metacity --replace & | 02:32 |
LLMP | anyone know hoe | 02:32 |
johannes_ | it works | 02:32 |
LLMP | how | 02:32 |
eitreach | Michaelski-bj: You can install fusion-icon via Synaptic, that makes it easy. | 02:32 |
manzur | do you people think that packagekit is better than add/remove tool? | 02:33 |
LLMP | come on | 02:33 |
linuxjoe | i dont think that linux as advertised by ubuntu is cooked enough for wholesale use at the moment, too many bugs in it | 02:33 |
Xpistos | Can someone help me mount a folder on a different system to a folder in my home directory on my laptop? | 02:33 |
dig | zsquareplusc: is it possible to reset all files association at once | 02:33 |
michalski-bj | pyrohotdog: ok thanks, and how would I re-enable it later? | 02:33 |
pyrohotdog | compiz --replace & | 02:33 |
michalski-bj | ahhhhh ok thanks | 02:33 |
zsquareplusc | rendero: well there is .Xsession or a similar file that is executed when x starts. but KDE (krfb, is from KDE right) might have an option to share the screen too. well the gnome eddition has that in the user preferences | 02:33 |
bullgard4 | What line do I have to add in rsnapshot.conf in order to backup also the list of currently installed packages? Is "backup dpkg -l localhost/" the correct syntax? | 02:33 |
linuxjoe | sorry xpistos I dont have a clue m8 | 02:34 |
zsquareplusc | dig: i dont know how | 02:34 |
LLMP | hello | 02:34 |
ralph | can anyone help me with a problem with my ubuntu 8.10 install | 02:34 |
linuxjoe | hi m8 | 02:34 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: dpgk --get-selections | 02:34 |
linuxjoe | ralph, u just ask your question m8, no need to ask if u can ask ;) | 02:34 |
Randomly | Ralph, go ahead | 02:34 |
JarG0n | how do I determine what format a device is? | 02:34 |
tripitakit | ralph: what is the problem | 02:34 |
linuxjoe | how do u mean format? | 02:35 |
pyrohotdog | michalski-bj: run: I wrote aliases in my .bashrc, bling and nobling. ;) | 02:35 |
ralph | i just installed 8.10,i got too the login window and signed in fine.after that the screen went black and the cursor stayed on. | 02:35 |
JarG0n | linuxjoe> file format | 02:35 |
pyrohotdog | oops, no run. | 02:35 |
LLMP | hello anyone could help | 02:35 |
linuxjoe | most file formats usually have an extension, if it doesn't, i think its either a text file, or a config file m8 | 02:35 |
tripitakit | !any | LLMP | 02:35 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about any | 02:35 |
tripitakit | LLMP ask you question | 02:36 |
linuxjoe | am i right folks? | 02:36 |
JarG0n | linuxjoe> I have a partition, but I think it's formatted FAT, but it needs to be ext3. | 02:36 |
linuxjoe | er ralph, have u rebooted again m8? | 02:36 |
LLMP | i want to download or listen to my music from my laptop and my music is on my desktop | 02:36 |

tripitakit | linuxjoe: also a binary .. | 02:36 |
LLMP | i want to listen to my music from my desktop | 02:36 |
LLMP | that uses windows media center | 02:36 |
linuxjoe | ah yes, I forgot binary, thanks m8 ;) | 02:36 |

LLMP | and i do not need a server right | 02:37 |
LLMP | 8.04 | 02:37 |
LLMP | hardy | 02:37 |
zsquareplusc | LLMP: no, it can also play files from your disk | 02:37 |
linuxjoe | if u have mp3 files on another hard drive and that hard drive is on a windows workgroup (usually MSHOME) just click on NETWORK in PLACES and u should be able to sssee your music files and play em too ;) | 02:38 |
linuxjoe | does that help any LLMP? | 02:38 |
LLMP | not really | 02:38 |
linuxjoe | is your linux pc networked to your windows pc??????????? | 02:38 |
tripitakit | LLMP what is not clear to you? | 02:39 |

george__ | kalhmera | 02:41 |
damian__ | how can i set up mplayer to play dvds by default? | 02:42 |

lovre | i have a problem with firefox flash straming video, the sound is not synchronised with the video... | 02:43 |
jrib | Tetracomm: still? Where did we leave off? Didn't I ask you some questions? | 02:43 |
pillow | linuxjoe: btw, i think its really cool that there are people like you. With windows its nearly impossible to get help on anything directly | 02:43 |
damian__ | how do i get nautilus | 02:44 |
lovre | damian__: ? | 02:44 |
jrib | damian__: nautilus is the name of the file browesr | 02:45 |
tommck | I have searched for hours to try and find an answer to this problem. When I try to start xorg in any way (failsafe mode or whatever), I get the "your session lasted less than 10 seconds" error over and over.. | 02:45 |
zsquareplusc | damian__: that is the file browser. like for placed->home | 02:45 |
Johnny_5 | zsquareplusc: so with rsync i should b able to quick n the middle of a transfer then pick back up where i left off? even after i close the window?? | 02:45 |
linuxjoe | welcome pillow m8, glad to have been able to help m8 | 02:45 |
EJ | tommck: how are you trying to start xorg ? what command ? | 02:46 |
Tetracomm | jrib: We didn't fix it, you didn't reply to my second post. | 02:46 |
zsquareplusc | Johnny_5: yes. just repeat the same command later. | 02:46 |
tommck | EJ - it's GDM by default, but I've tried startx too | 02:46 |
jrib | Tetracomm: what did you say? | 02:46 |
Johnny_5 | k | 02:46 |
tommck | oh, and it's ubuntu 7.10 | 02:46 |
seronis | !samba | 02:46 |

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 02:46 |
Tetracomm | jrib: I had to restart, I don't know. :( | 02:46 |
zsquareplusc | Johnny_5: well. to be exact. when you abort it will need to build up the file list again when you restart | 02:46 |
EJ | tommck: have you been able to get X to start at all with any gui ? | 02:46 |
Tetracomm | But I can't install nor remove any packages, because of that. | 02:47 |
bullgard4 | zsquareplusc: Your answer is false. '~$ sudo rsnapshot hourly' now obtains: "Errors were found in /etc/rsnapshot.conf, rsnapshot cannot continue. If you think an entry looks right, make sure you don't have spaces." But I checked that tabs and spaces are all right in the line that I added. | 02:47 |
jrib | Tetracomm: right. Why are you installing things manually with dpkg? | 02:47 |
tommck | EJ - when it gives me the error, it's graphical, and the login is graphical, but I can't get a window manager in any way | 02:47 |
Tetracomm | jrib: I'm not. | 02:47 |
jrib | Tetracomm: you were before. Why? | 02:47 |
tommck | EJ - I have a .xsession-errors file, but it's not too informative | 02:47 |
Tetracomm | jrib: Someone said to use dpkg -i something. | 02:47 |
JonathanEllis | Hi, Can menu.lst work with root entries using volume labels instead of hd(x,y)? For example [root LABEL=ubuntu8-04]? | 02:47 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: hm. what was the topic again? | 02:48 |
Tetracomm | jrib: But I had that problem from before I used dpkg. | 02:48 |
pillow | linuxjoe: got to love Ubuntu its easy to use, free, and works better than windows could dream there OS could. | 02:48 |
=== john is now known as Guest95229 |
jrib | Tetracomm: yes, but *why*? What is your actual issue? | 02:48 |
bullgard4 | zsquareplusc: What line do I have to add in rsnapshot.conf in order to backup also the list of currently installed packages? Is "backup dpkg -l localhost/" the correct syntax? | 02:48 |
Tetracomm | jrib: The pastebin link I sent you tells you. | 02:48 |
=== baddog is now known as Peer |
EJ | tommck: have you gone thru your xorg.conf ? | 02:48 |
=== Peer is now known as baddog |
jrib | Tetracomm: pastebin: apt-cache policy libsigc++; dpkg -S /usr/lib/libsigc-1.2.so.5 | 02:48 |
Dr_willis | JonathanEllis, I think it can.. You could just duplicate an entry that is working , and try the LABEL method to be sure.. I know fstab can. | 02:48 |
linuxjoe | it works, but it still needs a lot of work to be as friendly as windows | 02:49 |
=== baddog is now known as peer |
tommck | EJ, yeah, it looks fine to me. | 02:49 |
* Dr_willis dosent find windows very friendly at times. | 02:49 |
linuxjoe | if u dont mind getting yer dabs dirty then it is wasy cooler, kinda reminds me of me old amiga :)) | 02:49 |
=== peer is now known as baddo |
tommck | EJ - i even used Envy to reinstall the NVidia drivers | 02:49 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: ah. that one. well dpkg --get-selections prints to stdout you have to redirect the output like dpkg --get-selections > packages.txt later you could then use --get-selections to import the list again | 02:49 |

pyrohotdog | Blanks show up on my desktop, but rhythmbox still asks for a blank. http://pastebin.com/d3cda9084 | 02:50 |
Qebafhzn | a little question: At the partition screen in part 4/7 in the live cd installer, and the "after" bar says "100% Ubuntu" or something (I forget,) does that mean it's going to blank the entire disk to make its partition? | 02:50 |
Tetracomm | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d6360c78e | 02:51 |
bullgard4 | zsquareplusc: What do you mean by "later"? It is a config file. There is no "later". | 02:51 |
linuxjoe | pyrohotdog, I think there is a problem in the latest ubuntu with regard to mounting and using cd's/dvd's | 02:51 |
jrib | Tetracomm: as well as: apt-cache policy libsigc++-1.2 | 02:51 |
pyrohotdog | linuxjoe: Anyone known solutions? I've been losing hair over this issue. | 02:51 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: you backup, i mena later when you're going to use the backed up data to restore your machine in case of problems | 02:52 |
=== baddo is now known as baddog |
Tetracomm | jrib: W: Unable to locate package libsigc++-1.2 | 02:52 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: yes 100% is wiping the disk to make it all for ubuntu | 02:52 |
jrib | Tetracomm: sorry, libsigc++-1.2-5c2 | 02:52 |
danbhfive | pyrohotdog: are you trying to burn a disk? try k3b, see if it gives the same errors. | 02:52 |
Tetracomm | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d4cd49e7f | 02:53 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: How do I set it so that I can have both NTFS and XFS3 on the computer without blanking the entire disc> | 02:53 |
Qebafhzn | ? | 02:53 |
bullgard4 | zsquareplusc: The procedure which you suggest is a procedure of hand-work. rsnapshot is there to do backup automatically. This is a difference. I'd like to backup this one file too but automaticall, not as an additional hand-work. | 02:53 |
bullgard4 | automatically | 02:53 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: use manual partition not automatic one | 02:53 |
jrib | Tetracomm: k, so now where does libsigc++ come from? It's not in intrepid's repositories. Is this an upgrade or fresh install? | 02:54 |
Tetracomm | :( | 02:54 |
Tetracomm | I think I installed it from a .deb package. | 02:54 |
Tetracomm | jrib | 02:54 |
jrib | Tetracomm: remove it using dpkg | 02:54 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: I clocked on the "Manual" radio button, but I don't think it did anything. I exited the installer; this is the computer I want to run linux on. | 02:54 |
Tetracomm | How? | 02:54 |
Qebafhzn | click* | 02:54 |
jrib | Tetracomm: dpkg -r PACKAGE | 02:54 |
[g2] | is there a way to disable SMP via the command line in Grub on Ibex ? | 02:54 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: it will get the list of packages automatically. backing up is usually not the problem. restoring is (if its not just a 1:1 copy..) | 02:54 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: nothing has been done already, u'd follow manual partitioning | 02:55 |
linuxjoe | pyrohotdog, I doint know anyone who has found a solution to this problem yet m8 | 02:55 |
Tetracomm | jrib: Not installed. | 02:55 |
linuxjoe | I came here myself to see if I could find some answers | 02:55 |
[g2] | that would be on -generic and the kernel command line :) | 02:55 |
jrib | Tetracomm: what did you type? | 02:55 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: is there alrready a ntfs partition with windows intsalled on? | 02:55 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: Yes. | 02:55 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: and you want to keep it, right? | 02:56 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: This is mostly an expirimental install. | 02:56 |
Qebafhzn | Yes. | 02:56 |
bullgard4 | zsquareplusc: What do you mean by "it"? rsnapshot will not get the list of packages automatically. It throws an error message. | 02:56 |
zsquareplusc | [g2]: kernel command line: nosmp | 02:56 |
Tetracomm | jrib: nicholas@nicholas-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -r libsigc++-1.2-5c2 | 02:56 |
linuxjoe | k all, I have to go now, btu will hopefully see u all on tuesday if all goes well, cya all and have fun ;) | 02:56 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: so go with manual partitioning | 02:56 |
jrib | Tetracomm: no, you want to get rid of the deb you installed: libsigc++ | 02:56 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: Do I just click on the manual radio button and the next page will have partitioning options? | 02:56 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: then resize the Ntfs one | 02:56 |

jlaroche | !sound | 02:58 |
zsquareplusc | bullgard4: sorry i dont know exactly what rsnapshot solves for you. you were plaing around with dpkg -l and i said dpkg --get-selections may be better in that case. thats all. both commands list packages to stdout. but -l is more for humans than machines | 02:58 |
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 | 02:58 |
tripitakit | !anyone | 02:58 |
ubottu | 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? | 02:58 |
Tetracomm | *prays and presses enter* | 02:58 |
JonathanEllis | Dr_willis: Unfortunately none of my entries are working as I have repartitioned the disc so none of the partition ids (eg /dev/sdax) are as they were when the system was installed. I have added volume labels to all the partitions to make it easier to identify the correct ones. You are right it does work in fstab. Unfortunately I am getting grub error 11 on boot. I really dont want to go back to numbers unless its absolutely necessary. Perhaps I w | 02:58 |

zsquareplusc | Tetracomm: well if you pray before running a command. i ususally do this when dd'ing to a /dev/sdX for exaple ;-) | 03:00 |
tripitakit | bneitsch: i do | 03:00 |
bneitsch | if I modify my ipod with it and then plug it into my Mac also will it still work the same? | 03:00 |
EJ | well in the pastebin i am reading it looks like X Server is already running when it tries to initalize xfce4 | 03:00 |
Tetracomm | zsquareplusc: Oh, lol. :) | 03:00 |
tripitakit | bneitsch: i also will try hipo in the next future | 03:00 |

tommck | EJ - yeah, but what would the name of the executable be? | 03:00 |
bneitsch | hipo I will try that also. I just have my ipod all set the way I like it and started using ubuntu | 03:01 |

raven_ | i am bout to reinstall ubuntu on my laptop | 03:03 |
raven_ | and i was thinking about trying the 64bit | 03:03 |
raven_ | is there any reason to, or not to, consider that | 03:03 |
tripitakit | bneitsch: so u'll have no problems | 03:03 |
raven_ | is anything incompat with 64bit? | 03:03 |
luddite | zsquareplusc : thank god - is there even a #windows? | 03:03 |
raven_ | yes, there is | 03:03 |
raven_ | ##windows | 03:04 |
zsquareplusc | raven_: its easier to get support for 32 bits and there a re a few applications that are easier to get for 32 bits. appart from that 64 bits run fine here. | 03:04 |
raven_ | u can compile a 32bit app on 64bit lin | 03:04 |
raven_ | right | 03:04 |
raven_ | without issue | 03:04 |
raven_ | ? | 03:04 |
tripitakit | raven_: 64 runs fine on my amd too, but i agree, less support and less apps | 03:04 |
FloodBot2 | raven_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:04 |
raven_ | so ubuntu 64 has no 32bit compat? | 03:04 |
raven_ | if that's the case then #%@$ it :p | 03:05 |
zsquareplusc | raven_: hm. that already counts as cross compiling i think | 03:05 |
quagga | in my experience, the only things missed on 64-bit is the proprietary flash player | 03:05 |
Axlbeta | please site in spanish.. ? which is | 03:05 |
Xang | Axlbeta: ubuntu-es | 03:05 |
tripitakit | quagga: i got some java issues too | 03:05 |
Axlbeta | thanks.. Xang | 03:05 |
raven_ | ive been using OSX for the past week | 03:05 |
raven_ | has been a very positive experience, but i gained a new appreciation for linux | 03:05 |
Xang | Axlbeta: No problem. :) | 03:05 |
raven_ | i had no idea how much better it was at wine and X | 03:06 |
zsquareplusc | raven_: yes, ubuntu has several 32 compatibulity libs for the 64 bit system. it is possible to install 32 bit apps. its just not as easy as directly running a 32 bit system | 03:06 |
tripitakit | raven_: i'm gettin deadmoo to try it in a vbox :P | 03:06 |
raven_ | deadmoo is the 64bit edition, yes? | 03:06 |
raven_ | tell me how that goes | 03:06 |
tripitakit | raven_: well no | 03:06 |

jlaroche | I am having trouble getting my 7.1 speakers to work in Ubuntu. I am running version 8.10 64bit and I have a Soundblaster Audigy 4. I've tried Rythmbox, Songbird and Listen Music Player. I dual-boot between Ubuntu and XP and my speakers work just fine in XP (after installing CCCP). | 03:06 |

luddite | i cant "sudo modprobe p4_clockmod" it returns this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71675/ | 03:08 |
Dr_willis | jlaroche, what are you playing that has 7.1 surround sound? In the past when listing to stero mp3's i could mess with the alsa-mixer controlls and mirror the front to the rear.. or some players had extensions/plugins that would convert stero to 4.1 or higher output | 03:08 |
=== caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log |
tripitakit | raven_: sorry for that (deadmoo is Os86X a patched leopard :P) | 03:08 |
tripitakit | raven_: u'd try intrepid amd64 if you look for 64bit | 03:08 |
zsquareplusc | jlaroche: i have no clue, but i saw seveal ALSA devices on my system, one called 7.1 one 6.1 etc. maybe you need to set the player to use one of these | 03:08 |
raven_ | is there a way (other than rolling your own script, which i imagine ill have to do) to make it so that when u click on a disk image (*.img, *.iso, etc) it will mount it automatically and create a desktop icon for it | 03:08 |
raven_ | ala OSX | 03:08 |
EJ | tommck: well i dont see the process running | 03:09 |
tripitakit | raven_: there is gmountiso | 03:09 |
tommck | EJ - me neither :( | 03:09 |

zsquareplusc | raven_: if oyu click on isos the archive manager shows its contents. you really want to mount it? | 03:09 |
raven_ | yes. | 03:09 |
zsquareplusc | ok :-) | 03:09 |
MasterShrek | writing your own script would not be hard... | 03:09 |
raven_ | i know, which is why im not opposed to doing it | 03:10 |
raven_ | i was just wondering if there was something in place | 03:10 |

raven_ | i just realized OSX doesnt see my dvd drive, so no burning ubuntu disk right now.. | 03:10 |
EJ | tommck: run ./Xorg | 03:10 |
tripitakit | raven_: there is a fine app gmount.iso (or a similar name) | 03:10 |
EJ | tell me what happens if anything | 03:10 |
* raven_ gets his ubuntu jump drive | 03:10 |
raven_ | tripitakit, looks like that's just a GUI app for mount | 03:11 |
tommck | ok.. just a sec... | 03:11 |
jlaroche | dr_willis: I am playing mp3 files, flac files, etc. They all play fine in 7.1 under windows... I don't understand why this has to be such an issue in Ubuntu... | 03:11 |
PeskyJ | raven_: you could make a bootable USB memory stick, that's fun | 03:11 |
tripitakit | raven_: yes it is a gui for a loopback mount | 03:11 |
raven_ | already made 5 or so, peskyj | 03:11 |
ReleaseX | how can i see which version of a package is installed through the terminal | 03:11 |
raven_ | i am booting one now | 03:11 |
juancarlospaco | jlaroche, windows out of the box dont play that formats | 03:11 |
Dr_willis | jlaroche, windows drivers are fakeing the 7.1 extra channels.. while by default ubuntu is not.. is the 'core' of the issue. | 03:11 |
zsquareplusc | ah the usb boot thingy.. if it would only work here too... | 03:11 |
ardchoille | ReleaseX: apt-cache policy PACKAGE | 03:12 |
juancarlospaco | jlaroche, just intall codecs like a window box | 03:12 |
zsquareplusc | all the USB stics i wrote did not boot correctly | 03:12 |
ralpho | My cmos dont see usb :( | 03:12 |
PeskyJ | ReleaseX: apt-cache policy <package> | 03:12 |

ardchoille | yw :) | 03:12 |
CoJaBo | I can't get mdadm to report when a disk in a RAID array fails, what do I need to get it to work? | 03:12 |
ReleaseX | peskyj, ditto | 03:12 |
tripitakit | zsquareplusc: maybe is the usb stick, try a differnet one | 03:12 |
tommck | got a basic X desktop w/ nothing on it | 03:12 |
tommck | EJ - so, basic X works | 03:12 |
bullgard4 | What line do I have to add in rsnapshot.conf in order to backup also the list of currently installed packages? "backup dpkg -l localhost/" is not the correct syntax. | 03:13 |
zsquareplusc | tripitakit: i saw a bug in launchpad i'm not the only one. and i used the same stick with a image of the mobile edition (written with dd) that boots well (same stick, same pc) | 03:13 |
jlaroche | juancalospaco - sure... but CCCP does the job with minimum fuss... That is why I am in here asking how to do this in Ubuntu. I have already scoured google, but no luck... | 03:13 |
tripitakit | zsquareplusc: i see. | 03:14 |
EJ | tommck: ok .... that is most likley your xfce4 desktop ... (not totally sure) but i think it is ... are you familiar with xfce4 and wahat it looks like | 03:14 |
jlaroche | What codecs do I need to get | 03:14 |
shl-x | hello,guys | 03:14 |
tommck | EJ - uhh.. not really sure.. | 03:14 |
EJ | tommck: its been a looooooong time since i used xfce4 gui | 03:14 |
tommck | EJ - frankly, I don't care which desktop I use, I just want to be able to run mythtv on this :) | 03:15 |
EJ | tommck: sounds like we need to switch this over to use gnome | 03:15 |
juancarlospaco | jlaroche, all if you like | 03:15 |
PeskyJ | there's only one thing left preventing me from deleting windows.. and that's printing stuff to the laser printer - as soon as I get that sorted windows is gone :) | 03:15 |
tommck | EJ - I tried gnome sessions and gnome failsafe - no dice | 03:15 |

Kanster | tripitakit: yes | 03:20 |

tripitakit | Qebafhzn: u have to run the live cd | 03:22 |

Qebafhzn | tripitakit: Huh> Can I see a graphical guide for this? | 03:23 |
Qebafhzn | Huh?* | 03:23 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: probably it was mounted and u cannot resize it | 03:23 |
PeskyJ | ReleaseX: man apt-get - then do apt-get upgrade adding the option to just list stuff and not actually do work | 03:23 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: Mounted? | 03:23 |
zsquareplusc | PeskyJ: "network printer" is generic. as you found out there are several protocols in use like smb, lpr and socket. i have to use socket for the HP laser printer (i think they call it jet direct) | 03:23 |
juancarlospaco | no one use Ares ? | 03:24 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: the live cd mounts your ntfs partitions | 03:24 |
juancarlospaco | :( | 03:24 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: So I can't resize them? | 03:24 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: so when u go with install, in the gparted, u have to unmount it | 03:24 |
brujo | hey anybody know good tutorial for ioctl? | 03:24 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: So, I unmount it, then I resize it? | 03:24 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: after having unmounted u can resize | 03:25 |
PeskyJ | zsquareplusc: yeah.. I don't know the exact protocol, I just know that foo2zjs is the driver that implements the protocol for my printer... I just can't figure out how CUPS decides which foo* driver to use, must be based on the socket:// or lpd:// prefix but I don't know what to set it to to make it use foo2zjs | 03:25 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: What does mounting do? | 03:25 |

tommck_ | EJ - yeah, I think the next step is a braindead "vesa" video mode X setup, I guess | 03:26 |
brujo | ioctl(console,TIOCSTI,key) ???? | 03:26 |
brujo | is correct? | 03:27 |
tommck_ | EJ - maybe I'll do something low-tech like a fluxbox wm | 03:27 |
CoJaBo | I can't get mdadm to report when a disk in a RAID array fails, what do I need to get it to work? | 03:27 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: What did you say? | 03:27 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: I mean that when you run the installer and the partitioning you have to unmount the partition yu want to resize, within the partitionin program, with a menu entry or a right click | 03:27 |
EJ | tommck: last time i had to deal with this was about 8 years ago ... and it seems that commands have changed a bit | 03:27 |
tommck_ | EJ - yeah.. no big deal.. I'm going to have to get drastic on myself, I think.. | 03:28 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: Okay, so if I want 35 GB for Ubuntu, I just remove 35 GB from NTFS and partition the empty space to Ubuntu? | 03:28 |
tommck_ | EJ - might even contemplate a complete reinstall | 03:28 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: but if u are just trying ubuntu you can also run wubi from the cd using windoes | 03:28 |
EJ | tommck: it dosent set up propely on a fresh install ? | 03:28 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: Real Linux >>> Wubi Linux | 03:28 |
tommck_ | EJ - haven't tried that yet - this is my mythtv backend.. didn't want to take it out for too long | 03:28 |
EJ | tommck: did you install server and then add X ? | 03:28 |
zsquareplusc | PeskyJ: hm, the file name sounds like it is a filter. doesn't it come with an install or readme? one would thing you are not the 1st user :-) | 03:28 |
tripitakit | Qebafhzn: correct, you free those 35 GB form the ntfs | 03:28 |
lp59 | Salut | 03:28 |
tommck_ | EJ - no, started with Desktop install | 03:29 |
Qebafhzn | tripitakit: ok | 03:29 |

bluk | Hi, I have a dual screen setup and in nvidia settings i have it configured so i have 2 seperate x screens. It seems to be working fine, but i can't move my moue to the second screen. | 03:42 |
bluk | Oddly enough if I vnc into the machine from a remote host I can move the mouse to the second screen and see it moving around! | 03:42 |

Qebafhzn | tripitakit: yes, i think | 03:42 |

tripitakit | samacs: what you mean with unflag? | 03:48 |
samacs | here's the thing... | 03:48 |
tripitakit | samacs: anyway try ntfsfix | 03:48 |
bluk | bluk: the monitors are side by side and sharing an edge. And the vnc thing and 2 vnc cnonection is irrelevant... i'm saying physically at the computer not over vnc i can't move the mouse to the second screen it just stops at the edge. But if i remote in to the comp via vnc i can move the mouse to the second montior from the remote host, just never from the actual comp | 03:48 |
Daejeo | tripitakit: can i di something like : if i see subject "callme" i want to run some script callme,pl | 03:48 |
om3 | miesco | 03:48 |
lakitu | thanks, EJ, that worked | 03:49 |

Daejeo | cool | 03:49 |
samacs | I'm trying to install ubuntu from a LiveCD but got this error telling me that the live cd cannot resize anypartition, I googled it and found that when a partition is damaged MBR protects partitions from being changed, is that right? so partitions cannot be made by live cd | 03:49 |
CarlFK | how do I turn on my fan full speed? | 03:49 |
zsquareplusc | bluk: hm. well x2x allows you to move the mouse/keyboard from one to the other x server. but that shouldn't be needed for your setup. | 03:50 |
tripitakit | samacs: u have to run ntfsfix on it | 03:50 |
CarlFK | samacs: or just blow away all the win stuff and create new partitions | 03:50 |
tripitakit | samacs: sorry for my english: use ntfsfix /dev/sda? (your partition dev) to fi it | 03:51 |
tripitakit | *fix it | 03:51 |
EJ | samacs: you could wipe out the partitions so the drive has no partitions and then do an install ... i have seen some disrto's lock up the partitions so Ubuntu cant install be, i simply wiped out all partitions and the let Ubuntu create on a clean drive | 03:51 |
samacs | cannot lose that data | 03:52 |
samacs | :S | 03:52 |
zsquareplusc | backup... | 03:52 |
tripitakit | samacs: just fix it or restart windows eit cleanly and then restart the live | 03:52 |
Daejeo | tripitakit: can i run thinderbird on ssh? | 03:52 |
Kopfsturm | Hm... | 03:52 |
Kopfsturm | this is Eng res? | 03:52 |

zsquareplusc | Daejeo: if you have a local X server, try ssh -X | 03:53 |
tripitakit | Daejeo: what do you mean? | 03:53 |
samacs | thx tripitakit | 03:53 |

Kopfsturm | People, plz, question: I set up "Background transparent" to true in xchat-gnome and now he not running! :( | 03:54 |
samacs | how can I do it? | 03:54 |
mhall119 | newer live cds should have the ntfs3g driver, letting you mount read/write | 03:54 |
tripitakit | samacs: open a terminal pls | 03:54 |
samacs | ntfsfix told that the partition is damaged and have to run chkdsk | 03:54 |
samacs | ok | 03:54 |
samacs | I have a terminal open | 03:54 |
mhall119 | samacs: you should just be able to double-click the drive in Places->Computer | 03:55 |
tripitakit | samacs: sudo fdisk -l | 03:55 |
tripitakit | samacs: and note down then /dev/sda?of the pertition u want | 03:55 |
samacs | got it | 03:55 |

csilk | threeseas, man ls | col -b | lp | 03:57 |
tripitakit | samacs: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda? /media/win (/dev/sda? is the actual sda with the right number) | 03:57 |
samacs | got it | 03:57 |
uhsf | linux got so loud about better webcam support in latest kernels but it's really all so much bs. it's even more broken than it was | 03:58 |
tripitakit | samacs: then go to /media/win | 03:58 |
samacs | now I can see windows files :D | 03:58 |
Kopfsturm | People, plz, question: I set up "Background transparent" to true in xchat-gnome and now he not running! :( | 03:58 |

samacs | yah | 03:59 |
tripitakit | samacs: ok fine.. :) | 03:59 |

mhall119 | om3: depends on what your needs are | 04:01 |
tripitakit | ur welcome | 04:01 |
thiebaude | yup | 04:01 |
om3 | mp3 | 04:01 |
mhall119 | no, I meant do you want something to just play a file, manage a library, integrate with your iPod, etc | 04:01 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, now i sit in simply xchat, but i want xchat-gnome, but after my setups he not running... | 04:01 |
tripitakit | good evening/night/moring to all .. time to rest for me | 04:01 |
om3 | ipod yea | 04:01 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, have you tried closing it and restarting it? | 04:02 |
mhall119 | default rhythmbox should work with you ipod | 04:02 |
mhall119 | amarok too, I think | 04:02 |
mhall119 | or songbird | 04:02 |
mewshi_ | I have a question | 04:02 |
mewshi_ | I have a dual-core processor | 04:02 |
mewshi_ | are there any programs I would find useful? | 04:02 |
mhall119 | try Rhythmbox if you're using gnome, and Amarok if KDE | 04:03 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, yes, and restart and reinstal and fully delete and reinstal again... | 04:03 |
Kopfsturm | >_< | 04:03 |
thiebaude | newshi:what kind of programs? | 04:03 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, why don't you use just xchat instead of xchat-gnome? | 04:03 |
mewshi_ | Things to deal with dual-core procs | 04:03 |
thiebaude | mewshi | 04:03 |
thiebaude | amarok works with gnome | 04:04 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, Hmm... I like xchat-gnome:) | 04:04 |
mhall119 | yes, but amarok uses the KDE libraries, doesn't it? | 04:04 |
mhall119 | or QT at least | 04:04 |
mewshi_ | mhall119, the problem is...? | 04:04 |
mewshi_ | I like amarok | 04:04 |
mewshi_ | *almost* as much as songbird :) | 04:04 |
thiebaude | kde and gnome are inter-changable | 04:04 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, maybe U know, how delete settings-file? | 04:04 |
mewshi_ | songbird is made of win :) | 04:04 |
PeskyJ | xchat is great... my only complaints with it so far are that ctrl+tab doesn't switch between tabs/channels (and you can't configure it to do that, or I haven't figured out how to yet) and that /leave isn't smart enough to know you mean the current channel tab | 04:05 |
crakrjak | Hi all, i just upgraded my machine to 6 GB of ram, 32 bit 8.04 install, i believe i needed to recompile my kernel with PAE enabled which i did and no go, now i suspect i need to enable HIGHMEM64 also, does that sound right? | 04:05 |
mhall119 | thiebaude: yes, I just don't see a need to import all of kdelib if Rhythmbox works for someone | 04:05 |
Stargazer | Is there a way to make gnome-panel's windows... bars... without icon ? | 04:05 |
mewshi_ | so, are there any programs I would find useful for handling a dual-core system? :) | 04:05 |
thiebaude | i agree, mhall119 | 04:05 |
ardchoille | PeskyJ: what about alt+1, alt+2, etc ? | 04:05 |
threeseas | whats wrong with teh following: cat fileattribs.txt | grep 2008-11-15 | ./ I don't want the second pipe but instead the alternative grep pattern | 04:05 |
_raven_ | could someone take a look at a script and answer me a question? | 04:06 |
gavagai | mewshi_, the gnome pan applet for frequency scaling lets you change how the cores behave | 04:06 |
mhall119 | Stargazer: you want to do what now? | 04:06 |
PeskyJ | ardchoille: yeah, that works... but the keys aren't configurable | 04:06 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, installing xchat-gnome to see. | 04:06 |
mewshi_ | Well, I already have that going :) | 04:06 |
_raven_ | i want to take chunks of this eee gnome customizer script and run it on a non-eee system, which is fine for fonts and things | 04:06 |
ardchoille | PeskyJ: true | 04:06 |
kiopes | raven: show the script | 04:06 |
crakrjak | three: whats the ./ for? | 04:06 |
_raven_ | but i want to add OSD notifications for my wifi | 04:06 |
_raven_ | and i need to know if they will work :p | 04:06 |
mewshi_ | is there something I can use to do *both* with the same button? | 04:06 |
threeseas | crakrjak: to output directory line in the file (the file is an ls -l output) | 04:07 |
Stargazer | Mhall119, say like Transmission has it's little lever... it's icon is right next to it's name in gnome-panel (for a window), and nautilus has it's little filing system icon next to it's name... i want to remove that icon. | 04:07 |
=== nintendork32 is now known as nintendork87 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, simply set checkbox to true in Background Transparent. After this xc-g exit and now not running... | 04:08 |
crakrjak | three: ./ is a directory and you are trying to run it, maybe im missing something | 04:08 |
mewshi_ | so, any ideas? | 04:08 |
mhall119 | Stargazer: oh, I have no idea, it may be a theme option, or something you can access in gconf | 04:08 |
PeskyJ | ardchoille: I'm too used to windows apps, heh :) actually there's one other thing that's a bit annoying, it doesn't nick-match unless your nick is a whole word, for example followed by a - or something and it doesn't match | 04:08 |
threeseas | crakrjak: to output directory lines in the file (the file is an ls -l output to file upon which is given to grep ) | 04:09 |
arquebus | anyone know how to enable global menu in gnome?\ | 04:09 |
Stargazer | Ardchoille... same one from tip.it ..? | 04:09 |
moyote | Kopfsturm: well, i haven't any idea, I'm using xchat-gnome and I set the transparency but it works here. | 04:09 |
ardchoille | Stargazer: ? | 04:09 |
PeskyJ | ardchoille: other than that it's fantastic.. way better than anything I ever used in windows | 04:09 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, >_< | 04:09 |
ardchoille | PeskyJ: Preferences > Input box > Automatice nick completiion | 04:09 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, wtf... | 04:09 |
Stargazer | Ardchoille: are you the same one from tip.it ? | 04:09 |
ardchoille | Stargazer: no | 04:10 |
PeskyJ | ardchoille--> some people do this | 04:10 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, maybe my video card?... | 04:10 |
Stargazer | Oh | 04:10 |
Kopfsturm | But other apps working normally... | 04:10 |
Kopfsturm | and compiz working norm... | 04:10 |
Kudi | how do i make a straigt line conky without messing with the offsets the whole time | 04:10 |
moyote | Kopfsturm: I don't know. Can you unset the transparency? This is why I use xchat, it's more powerful with more options. | 04:10 |
texta | hey guy's. | 04:10 |
PeskyJ | ardchoille: did you see how it wasn't highlighted? | 04:11 |
ardchoille | PeskyJ: yep | 04:11 |
texta | Has anyone been able to get Nforce RAID0 configured with Vista mounted? | 04:11 |
moyote | Kopfsturm: are u using an accerlerated desktop? | 04:11 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, no, if only try to reprogramming *.glade files... | 04:11 |
texta | dmraid has configured the set, but it won't let me mount it. | 04:11 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, hm... compiz fussion. | 04:12 |
arquebus | anyone know how to enable global menu in gnome? | 04:12 |
poboy975linux_ | hello, anyone here know how to setup a cuecat barcode scanner in hardy? | 04:12 |
thiebaude | arquebus: what is global menu? | 04:12 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, What do U mean under A D? | 04:12 |
threeseas | argh... bash see the alternative symbol fo rgrep as a pipe | 04:12 |
arquebus | thiebaude- some guy told me to get new themes in gnome you have to enable the global menu, I dont know what it is | 04:13 |
moyote | Kopfsturm: yes, compiz is an accerlerated desktop. I don't know is that makes a difference. It means you have visual effects turned on. | 04:13 |
Kudi | how do i make a straigt line conky without messing with the offsets the whole time | 04:13 |
devslashnull | i have 4 partitions on my 160GB hard drive 1. Linux main partition 2. empty NTFS partition 3. empty Fat32 partition 4. linux swap. is there a way to easily merge partitions 2 and 3 without messing up the boot loader | 04:13 |
thiebaude | arquebus: just downlaod the themes | 04:13 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, And know what? I think, i like now xchat!;) | 04:13 |
mhall119 | Kudi: I'm not sure what you're asking about | 04:13 |
arquebus | thiebaude: ok, I'll look into that | 04:13 |
moyote | Kopfsturm: it it working? | 04:14 |
Kopfsturm | *goues to delete xchat-gnome* | 04:14 |
moyote | Kopfsturm: :-)) | 04:14 |
mhall119 | did you dpgk-reconfigure xchat-gnome? | 04:14 |
lyken2 | hello | 04:14 |
thiebaude | google gnome themes,arquebus | 04:14 |
Kudi | mhall119: you kno the conky style where you have everything in a striangt line at the top or bottom? how do people do that without going crazy with the offsets | 04:14 |
* moyote switches back to xchat | 04:14 |
arquebus | thiebaude: good idea | 04:14 |
thiebaude | i got xchat and pidgin | 04:15 |
sanjiro | I installed Ubuntu 8.10 from live cd, I setup my initial user ... now I'm running aptitude and its asking for root.. do I have to setup root seperately? This is odd. | 04:15 |
sanjiro | ah.. sudo passwd root | 04:16 |
PeskyJ | pidgin sucks for irc, but seems pretty good for IM... I don't really think IRC and IM are similar enough to use the same interface for both | 04:16 |
lyken2 | does anyone dual boot with windows on this channel | 04:16 |
Kopfsturm | sanjiro, no, why root? U have Ur pass for all. | 04:16 |
thiebaude | PeskyJ: i tried irissi | 04:16 |
Kopfsturm | Pidgin good for ICQ!:) | 04:16 |
sanjiro | lyken2: i do | 04:16 |
PeskyJ | thiebaude: I used to use irssi, didn't really get along with it though... it was good for leaving running in a screen session though :) | 04:17 |
Kopfsturm | xchat for IRC, Pidgin for ICQ and all:) | 04:17 |
moyote | lyken2, yes, I do, but I use separate hds for it. | 04:17 |
lyken2 | sajira: do you use firefox on both operating systems | 04:17 |
sanjiro | what's the quickest way to open new terminal? | 04:17 |
joot | lyken2: Ido | 04:17 |
thiebaude | PeskyJ: it was too much for me | 04:17 |
PeskyJ | Kopfsturm: yeah! :) | 04:17 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, are u transparent? :-)) | 04:18 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, Nonono, I scared to set up this thg:) | 04:18 |
tecnicodpc | I bought a acer ASPIRE ONE .... And it came with Win XP .... I installed UBUNTU 8.10 ... Everything seems to work ... but not my wireless device .... why ...????? Is there some kind of codes i need to download ...???? Can someone Plz. help me ...???? | 04:18 |
thiebaude | xchat is easiler than pidgin | 04:18 |
PeskyJ | sanjiro: don't set a password for root... instead use sudo all the time when you want to execute commands as root. If you want to execute lots in a row, you may want to do "sudo su" | 04:18 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, ah, come on, don't be shy. :-)). Although I don't use it either. | 04:18 |
lyken2 | ok, for those of you who of you who use mozilla try adding about:config to the url. I found doubleclick.net as a dnshost in mozilla | 04:18 |
wizzer | ah all updated to 8.10 | 04:19 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, But if xchat like xchat-gnome will broke?;) | 04:19 |
lyken2 | I thought double click.net was for tracking. I is only in windows. | 04:19 |
binskipy2u | hey guys i have a compiz question, if i get it set up exactly how i like it..and i goto appearance and disable all affects.. if i go back there to click on custom effects, will it be as i left it? | 04:19 |
binskipy2u | or will i have to re-set it all up again | 04:19 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, well, unlikely that xchat is broken, maybe something on your system, dependencies, who knows? | 04:19 |
wizzer | isn't doubleclick adware or something | 04:20 |
cali_ | help me. Wireless netgear usb adapter. wnp111 on 8.10 | 04:20 |
Kopfsturm | Fuf... People... sooo English words... I'm from Russia, Vladivostok!:) | 04:20 |
thiebaude | wizzer: that what i thought | 04:20 |
thiebaude | i wouldn't touch it | 04:20 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, well, your English is fine. Better than my Russian. :-) | 04:21 |
mhall119 | binskipy2u: it should be saved | 04:21 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, XD | 04:21 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, U know Rus? | 04:21 |
PeskyJ | lyken2: are you saying mozilla firefox will track you? | 04:21 |
cali_ | is this the room for wireless help | 04:21 |
lyken2 | joot: have you seen the doubleclick.net in your mozilla browser | 04:21 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, how did you install the programs, with synaptic or the terminal? | 04:21 |
tritium | lyken2: no | 04:21 |
digifor | After upgrading to 8.10 sound is not working?? | 04:21 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, nyet. | 04:21 |
mhall119 | cali_: it's the room for generic help | 04:21 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, maybe, what U want? | 04:21 |
PeskyJ | cali_: there's lots about the aspire one and how to get the wireless card working on the ubuntu forums | 04:22 |
deigel | is there a issue with flashplugin-nonfree on intrepid ? i seem to be getting a number of pages that claim its not installed, yet it is | 04:22 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, XD | 04:22 |
cali_ | my usb wireless adabper not working | 04:22 |
joot | lyken2: no but I did not do about: config to find it either | 04:22 |
cali_ | wpn111 on 8.10 | 04:22 |
lyken2 | PeskyJ: I saw a text string that said something like dns.ipv4only string: www.doubleclick.net | 04:22 |
digifor | ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused | 04:22 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, if you installed xchat-gnome using the console, try using synaptic to uninstall and maybe reinstall. | 04:22 |
digifor | What is causing this? | 04:23 |
uman | HI everyone. IM in really big trouble. I powered off my ubuntu 8.10 box without closing down vmware and now i cant open my xp virtual machine. I keep on getting the followin error. Please help. Thanks | 04:23 |
uman | This virtual machine appears to be in use. | 04:23 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, sometimes terminal, sometimes instal\remove app. | 04:23 |
uman | If this virtual machine is already in use, press the "Cancel" button to avoid damaging it. If this virtual machine is not in use, press the "Take Ownership" button to obtain ownership of it. | 04:23 |
lyken2 | Joot: with about:config you can tweak your browser settings to speed up your browser, and you can tweak the security. | 04:23 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, hm.. | 04:23 |
=== nintendork87 is now known as nintendork32 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, what time is it in Russia? | 04:23 |
lukeekblad | Hey, wasup guys>? Hey I just downloaded the last.fm program thing but I need to build it, I dont know how though. I read the readme and it says to build it: ./configure && make what's that soposed to mean? Can someone please write me a code to put in the terminal that will build it or something? that would be awesome | 04:23 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, I have only integrated WiFi... | 04:23 |
zcat[1] | just wondering about those annoying 'XP antivirus 2009' pages that won't let you quit.... I've shown my wife how to use xkill to escape them. Is there a cleaner way of doing it? | 04:23 |
joot | lyken2: yes I understand but it is not something I bother with | 04:24 |
lyken2 | Joot: sorry, misread. someone talking to me. | 04:24 |
mhall119 | moyote: Russia is a very large country | 04:24 |
PeskyJ | lyken2: does that mean it blocks doubleclick by setting a different DNS? | 04:24 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, Maybe U need Windows drivers/ | 04:24 |
thiebaude | lyken2:i did alot of tweaks in about:config | 04:24 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, 14.24 | 04:24 |
joot | lyken2: np | 04:24 |
deigel | is there a issue with flashplugin-nonfree on intrepid ? i seem to be getting a number of pages that claim its not installed, yet it is | 04:24 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, And U? And where are U from? | 04:24 |
tritium | !repeat | deigel | 04:24 |
ubottu | deigel: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 04:24 |
abortd | is it possible to edit partitions booted into ubuntu? | 04:24 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, aha, here it is 23:30, USA Eastern | 04:24 |
tritium | Kopfsturm: please stay on topic | 04:24 |
sanjiro | what do you guys recommend drivers-wise for nvidia 7600 gt? im on dual monitors, only 1 monitor works now | 04:24 |
lyken2 | PeskyJ: I was hoping someone had an answer, but I know an old friend used to say mozilla tracks people | 04:24 |
tritium | lyken2: it's not in about:config | 04:25 |
devslashnull | i have 4 partitions on my 160GB hard drive 1. Linux main partition 2. empty NTFS partition 3. empty Fat32 partition 4. linux swap. is there a way to easily merge partitions 2 and 3 without messing up the boot loader | 04:25 |
lyken2 | tritium: it is not in linux. I found it only in windows xp | 04:25 |
Kopfsturm | <tritium>, ok, sorry:) | 04:25 |
|ns|nR8 | it will mess up the bootload devslashnull, but that can be fixed | 04:25 |
tensei | how do I open nautulis as root so I can copy files into system places? | 04:25 |
tritium | lyken2: which is offtopic | 04:25 |
devslashnull | |ns|nR8, how | 04:25 |
brujo | DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM | 04:25 |
zcat[1] | deigel: adobe quite frequently change the download which breaks the package because the md5sum no longer matches.. I think there's instructions for installing it manually somewhere, basically download the tar.gz, extract libflash.so and copy it to the right directory | 04:25 |
IdleOne | tensei: gksudo nautilus | 04:26 |
cali_ | kopfsturm: i got the drivers and ndiswrapper installed but the "Windows wireless drivers" program dose not show up under admin or preferences | 04:26 |
zcat[1] | !flash | 04:26 |
ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 04:26 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, try using synaptic to uninstall xchat-gnome and then reinstall it and see what happens | 04:26 |
kbrosnan | lyken2: Mozilla does not track individual people, it does keep some overall stats. not sure if the ubuntu builds have that | 04:26 |
Gr33n3gg | Anyone have a Demonoid.com account? | 04:26 |
|ns|nR8 | devslashnull, google fix grub | 04:26 |
Kopfsturm | <moyote>, Not need, now I like to use this xchat;) | 04:26 |
lyken2 | kbrosnan: ok, I hope your right. | 04:26 |
moyote | Kopfsturm, excellent. | 04:27 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, she is installed? o_O | 04:27 |
Clinteger | hey guys | 04:27 |
Clinteger | im using vista, and i want to dualboot | 04:27 |
threeseas | is it possible to get a directory listing that shows full path to each file? | 04:27 |
tensei | IdleOne, Thank you | 04:27 |
zcat[1] | btw gnash sucks majorly, swfdec works a whole lot better | 04:27 |
joot | zcat[1]: where is there a post install link for ubuntu 8.10 | 04:27 |
Clinteger | so is it okay to resize an ntfs partition or is it too much of a hassle? | 04:27 |
IdleOne | devslashnull: use the Ubuntu live cd run gparted and merge the two partitions, if you plan on merging the ntfs with the linux format to the linux filesystem ( ext3 default for ubuntu ) | 04:27 |
IdleOne | tensei: no problem | 04:27 |
mhall119 | Clinteger: it will take a while if it's a big partition | 04:28 |
theJKH | Hey guys all of a sudden my cam didnt work in ubuntu it did perfectly after i used easycam2, so i uninstalled esycam2 and im wandering where i can find a DEB for it out on the net to install eycam2 | 04:28 |
lyken2 | Clinteger: ubuntu is the easiest linux to use. Mostly just click next. WARNING becareful with the partitions | 04:28 |
theJKH | can anyone help me out? | 04:28 |
Kopfsturm | My eyes and brain... so a lot of words... *trying fast reading and translating* | 04:28 |
Clinteger | lyken2, i've used ubuntu before :P | 04:28 |
PeskyJ | Clinteger: the ubuntu installer will resize it for you, you can choose how much spoace it leaves the partition with | 04:28 |
abhishek | @Clinteger: Resizing partitions in the installer... not fun. | 04:28 |
Clinteger | abhishek.. not fun? why is that | 04:28 |
cali_ | ndiswrapper is installed under synaptic package manager but dose not show up under sys preferences or sys admin | 04:28 |
uman | HI everyone. IM in really big trouble. I powered off my ubuntu 8.10 box without closing down vmware and now i cant open my xp virtual machine. I keep on getting the followin error. Please help. Thanks | 04:28 |
abhishek | It takes long | 04:28 |
uman | This virtual machine appears to be in use. | 04:28 |
uman | If this virtual machine is already in use, press the "Cancel" button to avoid damaging it. If this virtual machine is not in use, press the "Take Ownership" button to obtain ownership of it. | 04:28 |
zcat[1] | joot: halfway down the !flash page there's instructions for extracting and installing the plugin manually, that should work on anything from hardy to intrepid... | 04:28 |
abhishek | I gave up after an hour and just formatted the drive... :\ | 04:29 |
IdleOne | uman: take ownership | 04:29 |
joot | zcat[1]: thanks | 04:29 |
Spanglegluppet | hey guys, i'm trying to get lexulous (scrabulous) to work in ubuntu 8.10 using firefox 3.0.3...any help? | 04:29 |
mhall119 | uman, does vmware create a lock file somewhere? | 04:29 |
PeskyJ | uman: there's probably a lock file somewhere.. try in /var | 04:29 |
abhishek | @Clinteger: You can resize the ntfs partition from within Vista I think | 04:29 |
Clinteger | abhishek, will it f*** stuff up? | 04:29 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, try to click right button on Programs (Or how it on Eng Gnome?) and setup. may Ur app not check to true to visible in list. | 04:29 |
tritium | Clinteger: let the installer do it for you. | 04:29 |
Clinteger | k | 04:30 |
Genius314 | I have an iPod 3G nano, and it keeps disconnecting in Ubuntu 8.10. I managed to get it to work in 8.04 with the help of a guide, but now this isn't working. Has anyone gotten a 3G nano to work in 8.10? | 04:30 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, or try run under terminal. | 04:30 |
theJKH | Anyone know eher a DEB package for EASYCAM2 is? | 04:30 |
abhishek | @Clinteger: You have a single HD with extra space? Installer is good enough. | 04:30 |
theJKH | Im tring to find it but i cant | 04:30 |
Clinteger | abhishek, ok | 04:30 |
zcat[1] | just be aware that after you get flash working, things like "XP antivirus 2009" will start working, even though they can't do any damage they do still trap you in the page and nothing short of killing the browser seems to get rid of it | 04:30 |
Clinteger | abhishek, its just my friend told me that its a hassle to resize ntfs partitions, and it can cause problems | 04:30 |
abhishek | @Clinteger: Multiple HDs or multiple partitions... don't go in unprepared. | 04:30 |
Clinteger | well this is just 1 partition :) | 04:30 |
Clinteger | abhishek, wait, i do have 2 drives | 04:31 |
abhishek | :| | 04:31 |
zcat[1] | Clinteger: it can take hours, and you MUST NOT turn off the machine until it's finished... | 04:31 |
Clinteger | abhishek, well im only installing on one of them | 04:31 |
uman | mhall119 pesky yeah there are .lck files but if i delete them and try to open it it says that it cant start cuz the filesystem has been modified so i have to copy back the deleted lck files in the oflder where the virtual machine is. havent checked the var fodler though | 04:31 |
Clinteger | not moving my home to second drive or anything hehe | 04:31 |
PeskyJ | Clinteger: ubuntu installer is pretty good, can't figure out some complex stuff in guided mode, but for simply resizing a partition to make room it will be fine | 04:31 |
Clinteger | zcat[1], yeah, i understand | 04:31 |
Clinteger | PeskyJ, thanks a lot :D | 04:31 |
brujo | fuck | 04:31 |
Clinteger | gonna go do this | 04:31 |
Clinteger | cya guys | 04:31 |
FloodBot2 | Clinteger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:31 |
zcat[1] | Clinteger: mush safer to resize the partition in windows first and install to the free space | 04:31 |
tritium | !language | brujo | 04:31 |
ubottu | brujo: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:31 |
abhishek | yeah, what zcat said. | 04:31 |
cali_ | Kipfsturm how do i run ndiswrapper in terminal | 04:32 |
brujo | i cant send ioctl chars to program running on X | 04:32 |
brujo | :S | 04:32 |
brujo | anyone know how? | 04:32 |
gavagai | are virtual terminals turned on by default? i can't use mine. this is on a laptop. | 04:32 |
abhishek | so, do we have any experts here on ATI drivers? | 04:32 |
tritium | brujo: watch your language | 04:32 |
zcat[1] | actually, much safer to just buy a second drive and not mess with resizing at all ;) | 04:32 |
IdleOne | !ask | abhishek | 04:32 |
PeskyJ | Clinteger: oh.. if you defragment your windows drive before resizing I think it might be much quicker | 04:32 |
ubottu | abhishek: 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. :-) | 04:32 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, run terminal and write ndiswrap and press tab. | 04:32 |
lyken2 | anyone know what toys to use for making a desktop look cool | 04:32 |
Clinteger | PeskyJ, yeah defrag finished like 20 minutes ago :0 | 04:33 |
lukeekblad | Hey, wasup guys>? Hey I just downloaded the last.fm program thing but I need to build it, I dont know how though. I read the readme and it says to build it: ./configure && make what's that soposed to mean? Can someone please write me a code to put in the terminal that will build it or something? that would be awesome | 04:33 |
mhall119 | abhishek: I don't think there is such a thing as an ATI driver expert | 04:33 |
Kopfsturm | <cali_>, if Ur terminal automatical set "ndiswrapper" - U have this app. Press Enter. | 04:33 |
mhall119 | lyken2: Compiz-fusion, avant-window-navigator | 04:33 |
PeskyJ | lyken2: I like the scaler picker... alt+shift+up :) | 04:33 |
DiiPhantom | how i know what version of java i have? | 04:33 |
meoblast001 | how come netplay in my Gens is greyed out | 04:33 |
brujo | is possible to use ioctl(fd, TIOCSTI,char) for a graphical program? | 04:34 |
mhall119 | DiiPhantom: open a terminal and type: java --version | 04:34 |
cali_ | Kopfsturm Ok done | 04:34 |
IdleOne | lukeekblad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware read this it should help you | 04:34 |
abhishek | My screen looks like bad TV reception... I tried installing the restricted driver but that messes up--can't even login. I got the package from ATI website and that fixes nothing. My question is, what works and how can I get it? :( | 04:34 |
lyken2 | mhall119: how does one get the side bar. | 04:34 |
abhishek | I've got an ATI Radeon 2600m | 04:34 |
mhall119 | side bar? | 04:34 |
mhall119 | like the Vista side bar? | 04:34 |
DiiPhantom | mhall119: ok i see alot of stuff there, 4.2? | 04:35 |
Jordan_U | abhishek: I assume it works in another OS? | 04:35 |
abhishek | it works in Vista. | 04:35 |
mhall119 | DiiPhantom: paste it all | 04:35 |
abhishek | :\ | 04:35 |
abhishek | I had it working previously under a Wubi install of Ubuntu 8.04 | 04:35 |
lyken2 | mhall119: something like that. I think damn small linux has one to. | 04:35 |
abhishek | but it's no longer working. | 04:35 |
abhishek | on my fresh install of 8.04 | 04:35 |

mhall119 | lyken2: you can try gdesklets, you can put them all over the desktop, not just a side bar | 04:35 |
theJKH | so does anyone know where i can download a Debian fie for Easycam2?? | 04:36 |
brujo | is possible to use ioctl(fd, TIOCSTI,char) for a graphical program? | 04:36 |

digifor | abhishek, did you have a gui with the livecd? | 04:37 |
lyken2 | mhall119: yeah, but I got tired of seeing everyone else's nice desktops. I want to compete | 04:37 |
abhishek | yeah... blurry there too. | 04:37 |

uman | Anyone here have an ipod touch ? (2nd or 1st gen?) | 04:38 |
Kopfsturm | no | 04:39 |
Spanglegluppet | uman: yes, 1st gen | 04:39 |
abhishek | I'd try to install 8.10 and see if it fixes my problems but the installer for 8.10 doesn't even recognize my keyboard. | 04:39 |
Batsmasher | I have no sound with Intrepid, I installed with wubi, any ideas? | 04:40 |
digifor | abhishek, I was able to insert the livecd > hit F4 >Safe video mode> then booted... I got a good gui.. | 04:40 |
abhishek | @batsmasher: laptop? asus/lenovo? | 04:40 |
Batsmasher | no, it's on my desktop? | 04:40 |
Batsmasher | :) | 04:40 |
wastrel | any way to get this DVD to work? playback is garbled on my system | 04:40 |
Genius314 | My iPod nano 3G keeps connecting and disconnecting. Has anyone gotten it to connect in 8.10? I need help with it. | 04:40 |
abhishek | what sound card? | 04:40 |
tecnicodpc | I bought a acer ASPIRE ONE .... And it came with Win XP .... I installed UBUNTU 8.10 ... Everything seems to work ... but not my wireless device .... why ...????? Is there some kind of codes i need to download ...???? Can someone Plz. help me ...???? | 04:41 |
Batsmasher | yamaha... cant remember model | 04:41 |
PeskyJ | Batsmasher: I noticed the sound in ubuntu is really quiet compared to windows... I think that's already logged as a bug | 04:41 |
metal1 | ya | 04:41 |
Gr33n3gg | tecniodpc: Google your problem, there is tons of threads about that | 04:41 |
digifor | abhishek, ...then I mounted the Ubuntu disk > then in terminal> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:41 |
pirate | very new to a linux based os need help installing a theme | 04:41 |
PeskyJ | techman224: ahh it was you asking about the aspire... there's a forum post all about getting the wireless working on it | 04:42 |
Batsmasher | @Peskyj lol, never thought of that | 04:42 |
sebsebseb | pirate: gnome-look.org | 04:42 |
digifor | abhishek, that worked for me. | 04:42 |
tecnicodpc | ok Thanks Gr33n3gg | 04:42 |
mhall119 | pirate: do you already have a theme? | 04:42 |
sebsebseb | pirate: also blubuntu may be a nice one to get from synaptic | 04:42 |
pirate | seb went there and no help to a newbie | 04:42 |
abhishek | @digifor: to fix the ATI issue or the installer issue? I asked two questions, lol | 04:43 |
PeskyJ | tecnicodpc: um that was meant for you, sorry techman224 | 04:43 |
pirate | hal the one thats under ubunto | 04:43 |
mhall119 | pirate: you download a theme from gnome-look.org, and then install it from the Appearance program | 04:43 |
pirate | how | 04:43 |
sebsebseb | I made a 1GB swap partition and I also have a 4mb or so swap partition, because of the way my partition set up is done, I thought may as well use that 4mb for something. I also think this computer is not using any swap, how to turn it on? | 04:43 |
pirate | ok let me try once again ok | 04:43 |
sebsebseb | swapon did nothing | 04:44 |
sebsebseb | and | 04:44 |
sebsebseb | well no errrors for swapon | 04:44 |
digifor | abhishek, that gave me a workable gui | 04:44 |
thiebaude | sebsebseb: did you check system rsources | 04:44 |
sebsebseb | and nothing else in terminal | 04:44 |
zcat[1] | 'no errors' usually means it worked | 04:44 |
PeskyJ | how does the installer decide how much space to use for swap? it seems pretty made that it created 9GiB of swap when I have 3.5GiB of ram, and on another machine it made 1GiB swap when I only have 1GiB RAM | 04:44 |
sebsebseb | dmesg | grep swap just came up with like a manual type thing | 04:45 |
sebsebseb | thiebaude: where? | 04:45 |
joeb3_ | sebsebseb, run top. does it show swap ? | 04:45 |
=== The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616_ |
thiebaude | sebsebseb: in system monitor | 04:45 |
joot | sebsebseb: I think your swap is toooo small and should be around 512 mb | 04:45 |
abhishek | @digifor: well, I'll try that then | 04:45 |
sebsebseb | Pesky: indeed 9GB of swap is crazy, I would recommend about 1GB in your case | 04:45 |
zcat[1] | general rule of thumb swap = 2* ram up to a gig or two, swap=ram once you go beyond that | 04:45 |
thiebaude | sebsebseb: system.system monitor.memory and swap history | 04:46 |
sebsebseb | joot: I have two now, a 1GB swap and the small 4mb or so | 04:46 |
digifor | I just need sound. Something messed up with pulseaudio after upgrade to 8.10 | 04:46 |
joljam | i need help connecting wireless | 04:46 |
joljam | from command line | 04:46 |
sebsebseb | digifor: ok try this killall pulseaudio | 04:46 |
thiebaude | you have a swap file,sebseseb | 04:46 |
joot | sebsebseb: not sure what the 4mb would do | 04:46 |
thiebaude | !swap | 04:46 |
ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 04:46 |
sebsebseb | joot: just space that it insists to have, because of how my partition set up is done | 04:46 |
sebsebseb | the 4mb | 04:46 |
sebsebseb | thought may as well use it for something, plus to do a 1GB swap | 04:47 |
Gr33n3gg | joljam: GIYF | 04:47 |
sebsebseb | so two swap partitions | 04:47 |
zcat[1] | once you get past 4G you hardly need bother with swap except as somewhere to hibernate to | 04:47 |
joljam | what does that mean... GIYF | 04:47 |
thiebaude | i thought swap was when you run low on memory ram | 04:47 |
Gr33n3gg | Google is your friend | 04:47 |
pirate | whats the differnce in gtk and gdm themes | 04:47 |
Gr33n3gg | Instead of wasting our time, google your problem. | 04:47 |
cellfish | anyone know how to get gtkpod to play music? I can sync and all but whenever i try to play music, it doesn't do a thing | 04:47 |
Baatti | for some reason, my shell script isn't running. I'm getting this message: bash: ./scriptone.sh: usr/bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 04:47 |
joljam | I TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY WITH IT | 04:48 |
thiebaude | pirate: i think gdm is login-manager | 04:48 |
cellfish | installed xmms2, replaced the xmms command in gtkpod with xmms2 and it no longer gives me an error ... it does nothing instead | 04:48 |
Baatti | the first line in my script is: #!/bin/sh | 04:48 |
joljam | I cam here for help | 04:48 |
tritium | joljam: no need for all-caps, please | 04:48 |
joljam | can anyone help me | 04:48 |
digifor | sebsebseb, strange "pulseaudio: no process killed" | 04:48 |
PeskyJ | 9GiB for swap seems pretty high.. I haven't even seen the RAM use go much above 1GiB | 04:48 |
Baatti | caps is cruise control for cool | 04:48 |
Gr33n3gg | joljaml: You didnt provide any details of your problem. | 04:48 |
joljam | caps all was inadvertent | 04:48 |
thiebaude | pirate: gtk is what you need | 04:48 |
zcat[1] | 9g for swap is just silly... | 04:48 |
joljam | I cannot connect to the wireless network | 04:49 |
thiebaude | wow, and i just have 521mb of ram | 04:49 |
joljam | how can i detect the networks in my range | 04:49 |
Baatti | joljam what version of ubuntu you running? | 04:49 |
Gr33n3gg | joljam: Well, what wireless card are you using? | 04:49 |
Miesco | om3? | 04:49 |
joljam | how can I do that from command line.. I am running 8/.04 | 04:49 |
PeskyJ | zcat[1]: I thought that maybe the installer just uses a fixed percentage of the disc space or something. | 04:49 |
Baatti | joljam what wireless card? | 04:49 |
sebsebseb | joeb3: after running top: Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 362916k cached | 04:50 |
zcat[1] | PeskyJ: no idea. It's probably based on the phase of the moon or something... | 04:50 |
joljam | is there any command from command line which gives me the type of wireless card | 04:50 |
wiwin | a | 04:50 |
tensei | is there any reason ALT+F2 shouldn't work in ubuntu 8.04 after i've removed the panels | 04:50 |
Baatti | hrm | 04:50 |
Gr33n3gg | omg... | 04:50 |
zcat[1] | sebsebseb: 'swapon /dev/sda5' or whatever partition swap is on | 04:50 |
Gr33n3gg | joljam: Do you know the brand/model of your wireless card? | 04:50 |
tritium | joljam: is it a pci card? If so, use "lspci" | 04:51 |
JamesJr | If anyone in here owns a forum or website and wants to earn money please send me a message | 04:51 |
PeskyJ | zcat[1]: heh.. well that was a "use entire disc" option on a 300G drive, I've never seen it use any of the sqap yet | 04:51 |
zcat[1] | sebsebseb: and to make it persistent put it in /etc/fstab | 04:51 |
tritium | JamesJr: please don't advertise here | 04:51 |
joljam | think its a lspci | 04:51 |
Baatti | heh | 04:51 |
Baatti | joljam type lspci in your terminal | 04:51 |
tensei | is there a way to find out which command to use to run an application? | 04:51 |
Daejeo | Starting VNC server: no displays configured [ OK ] | 04:51 |
DiiPhantom | here is my java info http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/72704/ | 04:51 |
sebsebseb | zcat[1]: I have two swap partitions the 1GB and the 4mb | 04:51 |
joljam | Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG | 04:51 |
Daejeo | how can i configure the display? | 04:51 |
Baatti | tensei try ./<filename> | 04:52 |
Gr33n3gg | There we go | 04:52 |
zcat[1] | sebsebseb: I wouldn't bother with the 4M. | 04:52 |
DiiPhantom | mhall119: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/72704/ | 04:52 |
tritium | joljam: good, that's easily supported with the ipw2200 kernel module | 04:52 |
joljam | ok tritium | 04:52 |
sebsebseb | zcat[1]: well I thought may as well use it for something, an actsaul partiton that is 4mb what's the point? a swap though why not | 04:52 |
Baatti | joljam, you should upgrade to 8.10, intrepid has a ton of built in wireless help | 04:52 |
mhall119 | DiiPhantom: looks like you don't have any version of Java installed | 04:52 |
tritium | joljam: "lsmod | grep ipw2200 | 04:52 |
zcat[1] | sebsebseb: because it probably takes more than 4M to map out how it relates to real mamory ;) | 04:53 |
zcat[1] | *memory | 04:53 |
DiiPhantom | how i install the newest one or whichever? | 04:53 |
sebsebseb | zcat[1]: what you mean map out? | 04:53 |
mewshi_ | rar? :3 | 04:53 |
tensei | Baatti, in terminal? | 04:53 |
joljam | tritium...http://paste.ubuntu.com/72709/ | 04:53 |
Baatti | my shell script won't run: the first line in the script is #!/bin/sh I'm getting an error of: bash: ./scriptone.sh: usr/bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 04:53 |
zcat[1] | sebsebseb: I don't really know how swap works, but I figure there's some sort of mapping saying where a page is, real ram or in swap... | 04:54 |
Baatti | tensei what about terminal? | 04:54 |
mhall119 | DiiPhantom: from the terminal: sudo apt-get install sun-java6 | 04:54 |
Genius314 | My iPod nano 3G keeps diconnecting/reconnecting in 8.10. Is there anything extra I have to do to get it to work? | 04:54 |
zcat[1] | ... 4M is so small it's a joke. I wouldn't even bother enabling it | 04:54 |
mhall119 | DiiPhantom: from the terminal: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 04:54 |
tensei | Baatti, I got ride of gnome panels and installed AWN, i'm trying to find a way to add programs to the launcher, but I don't know how to figure out the command to run them.. | 04:54 |
unop | Baatti, your error message contradicts your shebang - the error message says usr/bin/sh is not found - you're missing the preceding / | 04:55 |
Daejeo | Starting VNC server: no displays configured [ OK ] how can i configure the display? | 04:55 |
tritium | joljam: excellent. The modele is loaded | 04:55 |
joljam | tritium were u able to figure anything out | 04:55 |
Baatti | unop should the first line of my script.sh be: #!usr/bin/sh ??? | 04:55 |
meoblast001 | why wont netplay work in gens... it's greyed out | 04:55 |
tritium | joljam: please type "iwconfig" and see if any of the interfaces list wireless extensions | 04:55 |
wastrel | Baatti: ls -l /bin/sh | 04:56 |
mhall119 | Baatti: no | 04:56 |
SJr|Nbook | !version | 04:56 |
ubottu | 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> » | 04:56 |
unop | Baatti, no, it should be #!/usr/bin/sh | 04:56 |
Baatti | I tried that as well, and it didn't work either | 04:56 |
wastrel | no it shouldn't since /usr/bin/sh doesn't exist | 04:56 |
Gr33n3gg | joljam: Or type iwconfig <interface> scanning to see APs in the area | 04:56 |
unop | Baatti, or #!/bin/sh rather | 04:56 |
joljam | tritium...http://paste.ubuntu.com/72710/ | 04:57 |
mhall119 | Baatti: from the terminal: which sh | 04:57 |
Baatti | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-11-12 21:19 /bin/sh -> dash | 04:57 |
Baatti | << when I do ls -l /bin/sh | 04:57 |
wiwin | ribkao | 04:57 |
unop | Baatti, right, so your shebang has to call that then | 04:57 |
tritium | joljam: ok, eth1 is your wireless interface, but it says the radio is off. Does it have a physical switch? | 04:57 |
=== nintendork32 is now known as ^sk8rboy^ |
Baatti | so then, #!/bin/sh | 04:57 |
joljam | nothing I know of | 04:58 |
Anacranom | ok, that proves it,,, 8.10 is a train-wreck for n00bs trying to convert to linux! | 04:58 |
wastrel | #!/bin/sh should work | 04:58 |
joljam | tritium | 04:58 |
Baatti | joljam you might have to update your blacklist | 04:58 |
sebsebseb | zcat[1]: sda6 by the looks of it is my 1GB swap | 04:58 |
mindrape | Anacranom: based on what? | 04:58 |
sebsebseb | zcat[1]: so as for dev well let's find out | 04:59 |
joot | tritium joljam ; there is a subtle switch on the front of acer laptops (some) | 04:59 |
Anacranom | mindrape, just scroll up a while,,,,, | 04:59 |
PeskyJ | Anacranom: I wouldn't say that... I'm a noob (well I've used debian a lot on servers but I've never used X before) and I found ubuntu great to switch to | 04:59 |
Baatti | ah, thanks guys | 04:59 |
Baatti | I got my script to run :D | 04:59 |
joljam | this is a dell aptop.... so I tried Fn switch and F2 | 04:59 |
nite_johnboy | Hi - I currently using AcidRip for backing up my movies - Are there other apps out there that would this easier or better ? ? | 05:00 |
unop | Baatti, the error message is quite self explanatory | 05:00 |
tritium | joljam: look again to see if that had any affect | 05:00 |
Baatti | joljam I had trouble with my Atheros wireless drivers... I had to update the BLACKLIST file | 05:00 |
joot | joljam: my last dell had a wireless switch | 05:00 |
thiebaude | Anacranom: i dont have windows on my computer,:) | 05:00 |
nite_johnboy | do this* | 05:00 |
gaintsura | hey all, could someone help me configure sendmail and ldap for use as development of a website? I've got slapd installed and running and I've got sendmail installed, but I keep getting this (and I've never played with either of them beyond a preconfigured system with them installed) http://pastie.org/315909 | 05:00 |
=== ^sk8rboy^ is now known as nintendork32 |
Baatti | unop I think what I did was I didn't save my .sh file after I updated it and tried it again :P | 05:00 |
Anacranom | PeskyJ, mindrape i am a n00b too, and if i were faced with this crap,,, i would have turned away by now, tru, maybe just me but 8.10 is a mess | 05:01 |
mindrape | Anacranom: well I scrolled up and didn't see your issue... | 05:02 |
mindrape | In general I think if you switch to Linux you have to manage expectations... hardware vendors haven't all released open source drivers so there is a lot of hacking that goes on. | 05:02 |
Baatti | Anacranom: I'm digging 8.10 quite a lot right now | 05:02 |
Anacranom | mindrape, not mine,, you are not looking | 05:02 |
mindrape | I'd say Ubuntu is the easiest of the linuces to use... | 05:02 |
jeebster | 8.10 kind of made some files that didn't exist (namely some x264.h from May which I don't recall installing), which made some errors while building mplayer - otherwise it's just been a bit weird :/ | 05:03 |
thiebaude | Anacranom: did you try 8.04LTS | 05:03 |
Baatti | i'd completely agree with mindrape | 05:03 |
mhall119 | Anacranom: the only people that come on here are experts or people having trouble, so it's not exactly representative of the general Ubuntu user population | 05:03 |
Daejeo | i want to install gnome desktop from ssh?/ | 05:03 |
jeebster | All in all - Ubuntu is an easy system to use :) | 05:03 |
Daejeo | what should i type? | 05:03 |
Baatti | hrm... not sure, but maybe sudo apt-get install gnome? | 05:03 |
Genius314 | Okay... my iPod's working now. Is there a way in Amarok to sync my entire collection with my iPod without making an "All Collection" playlist on it? | 05:03 |
Anacranom | mhall119, thats the 1 thing i agree with | 05:03 |
mhall119 | Daejeo: is it an Ubuntu box? | 05:03 |
Daejeo | yep | 05:03 |
mindrape | I'd say in general Linux definitely has issues with hardware support for wireless cards. I probably help 4-5 people a night with just getting their wireless cards up and running. | 05:04 |
PeskyJ | Anacranom: I've spent hours on end getting shit working in windows before now too... I think it's down to system setups and hardware combinations glitching each other... sure windows probably handles more varied setups better but I think ubuntu does a good job handling a fairly wide variety too - I've installed it on 4 different machines so far and not had any serious problems, except with this printer, but that was a nightmare in windows too | 05:04 |
tritium | PeskyJ: easy on the language, please | 05:04 |
mhall119 | Daejeo: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will get you gnome plus some | 05:04 |
jeebster | mindrape: Makes me think it's rather a driver issue, but my eeepc does get weird at times after coming out of hibernation | 05:05 |
=== sean is now known as Guest13342 |
thiebaude | compare how long windows has been out compared to ubuntu | 05:05 |
Baatti | mhall119: what about sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome ??would that work? | 05:05 |
mhall119 | Baatti: I don't think so | 05:05 |
Gr33n3gg | sudo apt-get install gdm | 05:05 |
mindrape | I haven't used Windows for over 5 yrs now. Last install of Windows I had I got a Windows Update which completely obliterated my system. Couldn't boot. | 05:05 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: I knew there was a reason I wasn't going to upgrade to 8.10 yet.. something told me | 05:05 |
Baatti | and think of all the ubuntu distros! | 05:05 |
Baatti | mhall ok | 05:05 |
PeskyJ | tritium: oh yeah :P didn't notice that | 05:05 |
mindrape | In the past 5 yrs I've only rebooted for kernel upgrades... | 05:05 |
Anacranom | thiebaude, i have used ubuntu since 6.10,,, and yes 8.04 is the best, PeskyJ i have 8.04 on 6 boxes and love it,, | 05:05 |
tritium | PeskyJ: no worries ;) | 05:06 |
wastrel | i like intrepid it works fine except for DVD's | 05:06 |
Baatti | well 8.10 just barely broke out...we gotta give it a chance to clean up some bugs | 05:06 |
wastrel | actually i don't like intrepid it won't play dvd's - pointless | 05:06 |
jeebster | Baatti: true | 05:06 |
Baatti | although I haven't had any trouble with 8.10 yet | 05:06 |
jeebster | wastrel: tried building mplayer yet? | 05:06 |
Baatti | the only thing I've had trouble with is some apps through wine, but that'll happen anyway I'd expect | 05:07 |
jeebster | apt-get build-dep mplayer | 05:07 |
thiebaude | Anacranom: im only upgrading my 8.04LTs to the next LTS in 2010 | 05:07 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: same here, I love 8.04, I only go into windows for hardcore gaming, which isn't often, I'm just waiting for luvc to become more accessible by cameras and then I"m going to convert my wife's system to 8.04 or so | 05:07 |
mindrape | wastrel - I'm sure we could fix it w about an hour of troubleshooting. :) | 05:07 |
Veinor | Is there any way for me to examine the memory of a currently-running process? | 05:07 |
mindrape | wastrel - it was broken on my sisters laptop for about a month then she finally told me and I fixed it for her in 30 mins. | 05:07 |
joot | Veiner: free -m | 05:07 |
tritium | joljam: any update yet? | 05:08 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, i play coh, starwars, and am working on splintercell | 05:08 |
Baatti | veinor use your SYSTEM MONITOR | 05:08 |
mindrape | joot - I believe he wants to examine the memory buffer itself. | 05:08 |
mhall119 | Veinor: memdump | 05:08 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, all on linux and better | 05:08 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: my system is very picky... it could also be that I don't really have much time to game, maybe 1 hour a week | 05:08 |
joot | mindrape: My bad :-) | 05:08 |
mhall119 | Veinor: okay, what do you mean by "examine"? | 05:08 |
Veinor | Like. | 05:08 |
jeebster | wastrel: After getting the dependencies, just get the newest mplayer svn (multimedia apps tend to do no "stables" so it's a rule of thumb to get the newest svn) source and hit ./configure and make <3 | 05:08 |
mindrape | ie; the equivalent of SoftIce for Windows.... | 05:08 |
Veinor | I have a program that's using almost a gig of memory and I want to know what the heck it's loading in there | 05:08 |
wastrel | jeebster: you've had success getting dvd playback working with that? apt-get build-dep mplayer and then pull the svn ? | 05:08 |
Baatti | hrm | 05:09 |
Baatti | veinor what program? | 05:09 |
mhall119 | Veinor: memdump will give you everything, then you'll have to weed it out from there | 05:09 |
jeebster | I actually haven't tested the css stuff yet, but from all theory I should say it should work. | 05:09 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: I work more than I play, have to.. got a tight deadline to hit, but stupid crap like what I'm with right now is the set backs, can't seem to get sendmail/ldap going | 05:09 |
PeskyJ | maybe the hep system in ubuntu could set up an IRC connection for the vast majority of people who don't know about IRC to come here for help - mind you probably most people trying linux do know about it | 05:09 |
Veinor | VASSAL | 05:09 |
Veinor | dunno how to explain it | 05:09 |
Baatti | omg | 05:09 |
Baatti | what does memdump do? | 05:09 |
Baatti | that was scary | 05:10 |
Veinor | it's basically an onlien game engine in java | 05:10 |
mindrape | haha | 05:10 |
mindrape | Baatti - it dumps kernel memory. | 05:10 |
mindrape | its probably going to look "scary" | 05:10 |
jeebster | Also wastrel - you'll need subversion too to get the source | 05:10 |
mhall119 | Baatti: it dumps system memory contents to stdout | 05:10 |
Baatti | mindrape so it just dumps all the kernal | 05:10 |
Baatti | ok | 05:10 |
thiebaude | Veinor: java games use alot of memory | 05:10 |
Baatti | thats fine | 05:10 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, u in 8.04 or 8.10? | 05:10 |
Veinor | thiebaude: yes, but 1 GB? for Apples to Apples? | 05:10 |
tritium | bezibaerch3n: punctuation is allowed in IRC. You don't have to hit "enter" after each sentence. | 05:10 |
mhall119 | java uses a lot of memory | 05:10 |
Veinor | When all of the card images combined are maybe 100 MB? | 05:10 |
gaintsura | 8.04 | 05:10 |
thiebaude | i gb is way too much | 05:10 |
thiebaude | 1gb | 05:11 |
Baatti | java has to intepret bytecode into machinelanguage, then perform a task | 05:11 |
Baatti | tons of memory | 05:11 |
jeebster | wastrel: So you practically install the dependencies, subversion and make yourself a folder like Builds | 05:11 |
gaintsura | ldap and sendmail were not setup until now, ldap got setup and partially removed sometime ago (I THINK) | 05:11 |
Veinor | Yeah, but none of the other games I've ran on VASSAL are using 1 GB | 05:11 |
mhall119 | it's not the interpretation that takes up so much memory | 05:11 |
mindrape | yeah, a single Java process can exceed that of an entire Oracle database... hehe. | 05:11 |
jeebster | (where you'll store all of your built apps) | 05:11 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, and in evolution? | 05:11 |
Baatti | but java is pretty portable | 05:11 |
mhall119 | Veinor: probably the game keeps loading the same thing, or not releasing things it doesn't need | 05:11 |
om3 | how can i install quake 4 from the cd | 05:11 |
Veinor | yeah, basically. | 05:12 |
gaintsura | no | 05:12 |
gaintsura | from php | 05:12 |
PeskyJ | om3: install wine first, then just put th eCD in and it should autorun | 05:12 |
Baatti | so yeah, I found this really sweet Administrator Book for linux.... it's free and online... | 05:12 |
mindrape | oh? | 05:12 |
jeebster | wastrel: and after making the folder for specially built apps, you do "svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer" and it'll make a folder "mplayer" and take the newest source code there | 05:12 |
Baatti | how can I get it put on the topic and the bot? | 05:12 |
om3 | wine | 05:12 |
om3 | wat version | 05:12 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: I'm trying to send mail from a php site on my system. and heres the output.. http://pastie.org/315909 | 05:13 |
om3 | ok thx | 05:13 |
tritium | Baatti: that's not suitable for the channel topic | 05:13 |
thiebaude | Baatti: you got a link? | 05:13 |
jeebster | wastrel: After that, you go to the folder and write ./configure (it configures all kinds of stuff specifically for your system) | 05:13 |
PeskyJ | om3: go to "Add/Remove" and search for "wine" then tick it and press apply changes | 05:13 |
Baatti | http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz | 05:13 |
om3 | and steam | 05:13 |
thiebaude | thanks | 05:13 |
jeebster | wastrel: And after that you write "make" in the folder and a process of five to twenty minutes should begin | 05:13 |
om3 | i got alot of game in steam | 05:13 |
Veinor | hmm | 05:13 |
om3 | ok thx | 05:14 |
jeebster | wastrel: After that you can try playing back a DVD with your own pretty and new mplayer by hitting ./mplayer in the folder | 05:14 |
jeebster | :) | 05:14 |
hacker__ | Hi, I'm having upgrading issues: hardy > intrepid | 05:14 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, that looks like a local issue,,,? | 05:14 |
hacker__ | ppc | 05:14 |
gaintsura | yes it is | 05:14 |
gaintsura | as the php site is also local | 05:14 |
Baatti | hrm | 05:15 |
Baatti | #away | 05:15 |
Baatti | !away | 05:15 |
ubottu | You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 05:15 |
Baatti | :( | 05:15 |
PSiL0 | hacker: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/10/22/network-upgrade-for-kubuntu-desktops-804-lts-810/ | 05:15 |
FloodBot2 | Baatti: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:15 |
PeskyJ | om3: not sure about steam.. you probably download the setup program from their site and just run it (also after wine is installed) | 05:15 |
PSiL0 | ? | 05:15 |
Baatti | sorry floodbot | 05:15 |
gaintsura | I'm using a sendmail php function to send mail to test if it works, but those system errors are preventing it from going through | 05:15 |
Baatti | I forgot how to set my away status on here | 05:15 |
tritium | Baatti: also, please see !enter | 05:15 |
gaintsura | Baatti: /away <message> | 05:15 |

Baatti | ok thanks | 05:16 |
gaintsura | =) | 05:16 |
jeebster | wastrel: if it in the end of building (make'ing) gives you an error about x264, just do "whereis x264" and you could find a x264.h file somewhere in /etc/includes. You go there and rename the file "x264.h.old" and ./configure and make again - should work :) | 05:16 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: by the looks of it, it seems like either I didn't configure something right in the sendmail (which I don't know), or in the ldap config (which I also, don't know) | 05:17 |
jeebster | (That is an error I got on 8.10 and a quick way of "repairing" it without even knowing what caused that old x264.h to come there D:) | 05:17 |
bazhang | hacker__, what problems with upgrade to ppc intrepid? is it hanging at 55%? | 05:19 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, well, it is within your local settings,,, without having access to that, which is not advisable, i am not sure how to help other than telling you to look it over, the local config | 05:20 |
e\ectro_ | why does it seem like the sound in intrepid isnt as loud anymore | 05:20 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, what mailserver are you usig? | 05:21 |
e\ectro_ | my speakers are about 50% less than they were in Hardy | 05:21 |
hubar_ | Does WIFI work on thinkpad t61 with intrepid? | 05:21 |
Anacranom | *using | 05:21 |
e\ectro_ | at max volume | 05:21 |
bazhang | hubar_, what chipset | 05:21 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: I've got access, don't worry about that, if you can help me fix it, I'll do it. What mailserver am I sending it to? is that what you mean? | 05:21 |
mattgyver83 | anybody know of a good virtual keyboard app? | 05:21 |
hubar_ | bazhang: hmm, I amnot sure,how do I find that out? | 05:22 |
PeskyJ | e\ectro_: I noticed that to get the same percieved volume, in windows it is set to about 15% and in ubuntu at 85% | 05:22 |
bazhang | hubar_, open a terminal and type lspci and look for it, or paste.ubuntu.com with it and give us the url | 05:22 |
Anacranom | no gaintsura i was asking what sendmail you are trying to use | 05:23 |
mhall119 | mattgyver83: like an on screen keyboard? | 05:23 |
wastrel | 3945abg <3 | 05:23 |
mattgyver83 | sorry, wrong channel. | 05:23 |
TeslaTony | What do I need to change in xorg.conf to make it so I can use quotation marks without the system trying to give me umlauts instead? Oh, and get my right alt key working | 05:23 |
CuriosTiger | draft-n @ 5 GHz <3 | 05:23 |
e\ectro_ | PeskyJ: I have it cranked to the MAX, and its not nearly as loud as it use to be. I have to have it cranked just to hear it. and alsamixer is showing 100% | 05:23 |
scunizi | TeslaTony, maybe change the keyboard layout instead? | 05:24 |
PeskyJ | e\ectro_: yeah, very odd | 05:24 |
slide | Is the upgrade from gutsy to hardy a major upgrade? Earlier I tried upgrading my system from gutsy to hardy and then to intrepid but it failed horribly and I'm wondering if it was most likely the upgrade to intrepid that did it or hardy | 05:24 |
JonathanElli1 | Is there any point in keeping all the old kernels? I have about 9 in my boot menu. I guess the kernel has been upgraded many times but I am wondering why. The most recent one works so I guess I should delete the others? | 05:24 |
bazhang | slide, was the gutsy to hardy upgrade hanging at configuring locales? | 05:24 |
TeslaTony | scunizi: I am trying to get the keyboar to work properly across multiple accounts with three desktop environments | 05:24 |
slide | bazhang, no, technically the upgrade all went fine, no errors or anything. but all my mail system stopped working | 05:25 |
hubar_ | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72719/ | 05:25 |
gaintsura | Anacranom: when I did sudo apt-get install sendmail, it downloaded these: http://pastie.org/315920 | 05:25 |
e\ectro_ | PeskyJ: just fixed it | 05:25 |
mhall119 | JonathanElli1: I think they're going to start putting a cap on that | 05:25 |
e\ectro_ | raised PCM volume | 05:25 |
P_Kable | Hello, anyone with dual nic on intrepid ??? | 05:25 |
LF|Irssi | TeslaTony: have you tried Synergy? | 05:25 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, may want to keep a couple older ones around just in case something like wireless stops working with a newer kernel, the rest you can delete | 05:25 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: When I upgraded from gutsy to hardy it went horribly wrong and I was advised to do a clean install. If you have your /home on a separate partition this is a lot easier | 05:25 |
slide | ugh i dont want to have to reconfigure everything..... | 05:25 |
scunizi | TeslaTony, so changing the keyboard in one account doesn't change it in any of the others? | 05:25 |
Veinor | so is there any way i can use memdump to just look at the memory of a specific process? | 05:25 |
joot | JonathanEllil: I tend to get rid of my old kernels once the latest one proves to meet my needs | 05:25 |
TeslaTony | LF|Irssi: No. Whatś that? | 05:26 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: What will you need to reconfigure? | 05:26 |
LF|Irssi | !Synergy | 05:26 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about synergy | 05:26 |
mhall119 | Veinor: I don't know, try: man memdump | 05:26 |
Anacranom | gaintsura, those look like update files,, not actuals...? | 05:26 |
TeslaTony | scunizi: No. Not even remotely | 05:26 |
LF|Irssi | hang on ill try to find a link or it might be in the repos too TeslaTony | 05:26 |
keith1122 | is there any way to get FL 8 to work on ubuntu | 05:26 |

gaintsura | should I install the recommended and suggested packages it printed with the apt-get? | 05:27 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: If you just want to keep the same applications, just make a list of the ones you have installed after you did the previous install. Then you can sudo apt-get install <paste the list here> | 05:27 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: Wouldnt all your settings be in /home anyway? | 05:27 |

P_Kable | nobody with dual NIC in his system with intrepid ? Am I the only idiot out there :D | 05:28 |
TeslaTony | LF|Irssi: Is synergy for linking multiple computers together? Because that isnt even remotely my issue | 05:28 |
mhall119 | P_Kable: or just the only one with two nics | 05:28 |
tritium | JonathanElli1: no, system-wide settings are in /etc | 05:28 |
scunizi | TeslaTony, don't know if this will help or not but seems right for investigation.. http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.9.0/doc/html/xorg.conf.5.html | 05:28 |
Anacranom | hrmpf gaintsura ok, i'm done, gonna crash, if no help or success by tomorrow, look me up at #seaphor, sorry, i gtg | 05:28 |
TeslaTony | scunizi: Ah...that is at least a start | 05:29 |
slide | you mean /etc? well, that may be the problem, the dovecot stopped working after the upgrade so i dont really want to upgrade again :( | 05:29 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: Well in that case, if it aint broken ... | 05:29 |
LF|Irssi | TeslaTony: I thought you were asking about using multiple keyboards, guess i misunderstood you sorry :) | 05:29 |
slide | right, i just need php 5.2.4 | 05:29 |
scunizi | TeslaTony, it's actually part of the x.org man page.. might be in your system currently with man xorg | 05:29 |
mhall119 | slide: what version do you have? | 05:29 |
slide | 5.2.3 | 05:29 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: I just realised of course the upgrade has broken it. Can you go back to gutsy if that worked to your satisfaction | 05:30 |
TeslaTony | LF|Irssi: No worries. Multiple desktop environments. Multiple accounts. One computer. | 05:30 |
slide | JonathanElli1, yes i restored from a backup so im back to gutsy | 05:30 |
mhall119 | slide: is that what's in gutsy? | 05:30 |
slide | yes | 05:30 |
mhall119 | did you try enabling backports repository? | 05:30 |
slide | i think it is, let me double | 05:31 |
JonathanElli1 | slide: I am struggling to see the reason to upgrade my system every six months. I haven't bothered with intrepid and I dont see the point. If someone can educate me I would be grateful | 05:31 |
hubar_ | bazhang: one more question. :) How do I know what module the "hardware drivers" is enabling? | 05:31 |
mhall119 | JonathanElli1: if the upgrade has nothing you want, don't upgrade | 05:31 |
bazhang | hubar_, did you blacklist the driver like in that post? | 05:32 |
slide | mhall119, yea, its not in backports apparently either | 05:32 |
tritium | JonathanElli1: sounds like you're a good candidate to stick with LTS releases. | 05:32 |
^Cheeky | hello iam trying to follow this tutorial, and when i downloaded tsMuxer and tired to extract it says its not a tar file ? | 05:32 |
hubar_ | bazhang: not yet, I am just curious of how to know that. | 05:32 |
mhall119 | slide, you can see if you can find a .deb for that version | 05:32 |
^Cheeky | i used archive manager and i got that error | 05:32 |
scunizi | JonathanD, if you're running LTS and it's working fine you're good to go for some time.. I upgraded this time because intrepid works with my motherboard and hardy didn't.. otherwise I'd still be on hardy. | 05:32 |
Spanglegluppet | hey, my Firefox in Ubuntu 8.10 is playing up, can anyone help me fix it? | 05:32 |
joot | JonathanEllil: I think you dont need to upgrade unless you want to be up with the latest version Hardy is a lts so it has support for ages yet | 05:33 |
bazhang | hubar_, it will enable the one you need | 05:33 |
hubar_ | bazhang: I am using ndipwrapper for my wireless connection. | 05:33 |
bazhang | hubar_, but need to blacklist the other one | 05:33 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: Is there any reason why things should suddenly stop working with the most recent kernel? Just asking so I can clarify whether I need to keep the old kernels | 05:33 |
tritium | Spanglegluppet: "playing up"? | 05:33 |
hubar_ | bazhang: Do you know how I can know what module that is? | 05:33 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: what things | 05:33 |
slipdipper | ok, so im pretty positive that these wireless broadcom drivers are the cause of my intermitten latency issues.. how can i test this, i see the latency in icmp response times, and via the sniffer, but is there a way i can put the driver into a debug mode or something that will help me identify if its freaking out? (im next to positive its not related to wireless interference, etc..) | 05:33 |
om3 | why i can install punkbuster | 05:33 |
om3 | from quake 4 | 05:33 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, just as a precaution; no known problems here (though best to play it safe and keep a couple) | 05:34 |
=== NeO_Painwithin is now known as Neo_Painwithin |
Spanglegluppet | tritium: yeah, it's acting strange. for example, the url bar doesn't show any text, all of my bookmarks have disappeared, and the loading bar won't appear on the status bar | 05:34 |
Neo_Painwithin | oops | 05:34 |
om3 | i can't | 05:34 |
om3 | i mean | 05:34 |
bazhang | hubar_, it is the one that is needed for that nic | 05:34 |
=== Neo_Painwithin is now known as NeO_Painwithin |
JonathanElli1 | fryguy: nothing has stopped working - hypothetical question in response to bazhang's previous answer | 05:34 |
bazhang | om3 dont use the enter key after one or two words. | 05:34 |
tritium | Spanglegluppet: ah, I didn't fully understand the expression (new to me!). | 05:34 |
slipdipper | iwpriv eth1 | 05:34 |
slipdipper | oops | 05:34 |
NeO_Painwithin | im on Ubuntu riow so its alittle different | 05:34 |
almostdvs | is there a way i can make the "scale" compiz plugin work on a toggle, and so i don't have to hold down the alt key? | 05:34 |
om3 | why | 05:35 |
Spanglegluppet | tritium: that's fine. any idea what's going on? | 05:35 |
tritium | Spanglegluppet: no, not sure. Sorry. | 05:35 |
bazhang | om3 because this is a busy channel and it makes it hard to read | 05:35 |
fryguy | almostdvs: what is in the configuration options is what is available for the plugin, there's no hidden features. The answer to your question is yes, it's right in the configuration | 05:35 |
NeO_Painwithin | hmmm | 05:35 |
bazhang | almostdvs, that would best be answered in #compiz-fusion | 05:35 |
JonathanElli1 | !firefox > Spanglegluppet | 05:35 |
ubottu | Spanglegluppet, please see my private message | 05:35 |
mhall119 | almostdvs: I have scale mapped to a screen corner, that works | 05:36 |
JonathanElli1 | joot: Thanks. What does lts mean by the way? | 05:36 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: long term support | 05:36 |
joot | JonathanEllil: Log term | 05:36 |
joot | long | 05:36 |
almostdvs | fryguy: then maybe the terminology is what is tripping me up, what is that option? | 05:37 |
JonathanElli1 | So Hardy was marked as LTS but Gutsy wasnt? Gutsy was my first linux distro so I am a bit of a newbie | 05:37 |
mhall119 | fryguy: the initiate keyboard combo only keeps scale active as long as you hold the combo | 05:37 |
fryguy | almostdvs: no idea, and i don't have a compiz install in front of me to check | 05:37 |
fryguy | mhall119: there's more ways to enable the plugin than a keyboard combo | 05:37 |
mhall119 | fryguy: yes, I already suggested one | 05:38 |
fryguy | mhall119: so why are you informing me of this? | 05:38 |
mhall119 | but the exact solution he was looking for is not one of them | 05:38 |
mhall119 | fryguy: because your answer to almostdvs was inaccurate | 05:38 |
JonathanElli1 | joot: So Hardy was marked as LTS but Gutsy wasnt? Gutsy was my first linux distro so I am a bit of a newbie | 05:38 |
fryguy | mhall119: the solution he was looking for was "a way for scale to work on a toggle, so he doesn't have to hold down a key" | 05:38 |
tritium | JonathanElli1: yes, Hardy is LTS. Gutsy was not. | 05:39 |
Baatti | should I get heirloom-mailx or mailutils? | 05:39 |
LF|Irssi | JonathanElli1: i believe its every other upgrade is LTS | 05:39 |
joot | JonathanEllil: yes you are correct there will be another lts distro but I cannot recall when | 05:39 |
mhall119 | fryguy: maybe I misunderstood him, but it sounded like he still wanted to use the keyboard | 05:39 |
slipdipper | AAAA | 05:39 |
joot | JonathanEllil: there the distro beginning with J will be lts | 05:40 |
JonathanElli1 | joot and tritium: Thanks. So are the other distros interim bugfixes then or what? | 05:40 |
almostdvs | joot: jaunty jackalope? | 05:40 |
bazhang | joot, thats not right | 05:40 |
cowo- | pemalu | 05:40 |
Baatti | which is better: mailutil or heirloom-mailx? | 05:40 |

ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 05:40 |
joot | bahzang is that not every alternate | 05:41 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: and updates to programs, new versions and such | 05:41 |
tritium | JonathanElli1: the "distro" is Ubuntu. That does not change. The releases are the changing element. | 05:41 |
bazhang | joot, no | 05:41 |
almostdvs | i'm pretty sure jaunty jackalope is not lts | 05:41 |
bazhang | its not | 05:41 |
JonathanElli1 | tritium: Sorry. I knew about the distro/release difference, just typed the wrong thing! My poor tired brain | 05:42 |

babilonia | gays | 05:42 |

wastrel | jeebster: --disable-x264-lavc in configure is probably a better way to handle that. | 05:42 |
fryguy | LF|Irssi: an alliterative description of an animal that starts with the letter that comes after I, which was the name used in the current version | 05:42 |
bazhang | babilonia, do you have an ubuntu support question | 05:42 |
tritium | JonathanElli1: no worries. :) | 05:43 |
fryguy | LF|Irssi: well, not interative, but the adjective starts with the same letter | 05:43 |
fryguy | gah *alliterative" | 05:43 |
jeebster | wastrel: Maybe, but really... The file shouldn't even be there, I had only updated to 8.10 and hadn't installed any x264 package D: | 05:43 |
tritium | babilonia: wrong channel for that | 05:43 |
jeebster | Which is why I promptly seeked it and tried if "removing" the file would help | 05:44 |
wos | !tv >me | 05:44 |
ubottu | wos, please see my private message | 05:44 |
JonathanElli1 | fryguy: Does that imply that intrepid is less stable than hardy? It would be helpful to point that out on the get ubuntu page. I just gave a frustrated vista user an intrepid livecd to play with to see if she liked it. Should I recommend she installs hardy instead? | 05:44 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: no | 05:44 |
wastrel | i have x264 packages installed | 05:45 |
scunizi | Which restricted nvidia driver works best with the 8000 series cards? the 177 (latest in ubuntu) or 171? Or am I better off getting the beta of 180 direct from nvidia? I'm using 177 with very poor performance. | 05:45 |
werdnum | Is it possible to suspend/resume with proprietary nvidia drivers? | 05:45 |
tritium | scunizi: we never recommend non ubuntu-packaged drivers | 05:45 |
gavagai | werdnum, yes | 05:45 |
JonathanElli1 | fryguy: So I am still not clear on the difference between the lts RELEASES (I thank you!) and the non-lts ones | 05:45 |
bazhang | scunizi, did you check hardware drivers? they say which is recommended | 05:45 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: LTS releases get security updates for a longer period than non-lts releases | 05:45 |
=== bruenig_ is now known as bruenig |
scunizi | bazhang, hardware drivers listed two.. 177 was recommended.. but screen draws are s.l.o.w. | 05:46 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: during the period that both are getting security updates (a couple of years), there is no difference between something labeled LTS and something not | 05:46 |
werdnum | gavagai: sudo hibernate-disk doesn't seem to work properly, I get the error "Some modules failed to unload: nvidia / hibernate-disk: Aborting suspend due to errors in ModulesUnloadBlacklist (use --force to override)." | 05:46 |
=== DCPom is now known as DCPorn |
frybye | JonathanElli1: the main difference is that cannonical supports the long term support releases for a longer period or... (more of interest to corperations and firms I guess...) | 05:46 |
=== DCPorn is now known as DCPom |
joot | JonathanEllil: I have had some problems installing 8.10 on older computers with shared memory video cards and gone back to hardy for those but I think on a later macine it is installing ok | 05:46 |
slipdipper | so no one has any idea about debugging those broadcom sta drivers? | 05:46 |
bazhang | scunizi, what were the other choices? the 173? did you try any of the others? | 05:46 |
JonathanElli1 | fryguy: How is it decided which releases are lts? Sounds like someone installing intrepid would need to upgrade earlier thatn someone on hardy then | 05:46 |
joot | machine | 05:47 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: it's determined in advance, on the roadmap of releases. releases are planned out several in advance, with a schedule | 05:47 |
JonathanElli1 | fryguy: So for a newbie it is best to go for an lts release then? | 05:47 |
scunizi | bazhang, 173 I think was the other one.. I'm on a different computer now so I can't check.. I've got a new motherboard with an 8200 card and chipset in it. (amd64 am2+) | 05:47 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: no | 05:48 |
venz | anyone know how to fix this : | 05:48 |
venz | Received disconnect from 67.223.235.29: 2: Too many authentication failures for jason | 05:48 |
JonathanElli1 | because? | 05:48 |
fryguy | because there is no difference between the releases for a few yearrs | 05:48 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, newer kernel has more features and support | 05:48 |
fryguy | JonathanElli1: or in my case, a kernel that renders the system unusable | 05:48 |
JonathanElli1 | OK. Thanks all. That makes a little more sense. | 05:49 |
yao_ziyuan1 | ubuntu is fragile now | 05:49 |

JonathanElli1 | On my 7 year old Dell then I guess I wont be upgrading to intrepid then. Sounds like I would be setting myself up for hassles of it not working on such old hardware | 05:50 |
bazhang | scunizi, I was using the 173 and had some problems, went to 177 and is a bit better but somethings are not so smooth (for 7300 not 8xxx series though) you may wish to check !notes | 05:50 |

droopsta915 | why do my proprietary drivers keep disabling ? | 05:53 |
JonathanElli1 | How would I know if a kernel upgrade caused problems? I have generic kernels 2.6.24-16 through 20 and realtime kernel 21 on this machine. Its a home office PC on a seven year old Dell. I tried the rt kernel to try and get an audio analyzer to work properly (it didnt help) so then I installed Ubuntustudio on my laptop to use the analyzer on and that works a treat. So I guess I could remove the rt kernel from this desktop machine and delete kernels 16 | 05:54 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, if things like wireless stopped working (one indication) | 05:54 |
hacker__ | !enter | 05:55 |
ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:55 |
wastrel | JonathanElli1: it doesn't much matter if the kernel sits around on disk. the one that you boot into is the only one that matters. | 05:55 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: This machine doesnt run wireless | 05:55 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, then likely not a concern, you can delete the older ones (though I would keep one or two around) | 05:55 |
scunizi | bazhang, ah.. yes.. the newer drivers are used for SSE systems. I've got a new board so I assume (dangerous) that it's sse enabled but I'll have to check the bios.. thanks for the pointer. | 05:55 |
JonathanElli1 | Is there any advantage or disadvantage of the rt kernel compared to the generic one for a desktop machine? | 05:56 |
tritium | JonathanElli1: no | 05:56 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, depends what you are trying to do; audio recording for example benefits from the rt kernel | 05:56 |
fryguy | rt kernel is designed to guarantee real time scheduling to programs. It should result in a noticable degradation of program response and general "snappiness" when doing a lot of multitasking, because the rt scheduler will context switch more frequently | 05:56 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: I gathered that about audio recording. I dont use this machine for that. So it sounds like this desktop machine would benefit from going back to the generic kernel - specially as its fairly old hardware | 05:57 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, yup | 05:58 |

^Cheeky | ardchoille, welll ok ..you have to give a file .. but .. the link that iam following says all the programs has the links has to be installed .. does that mean the app is already installed? | 06:06 |
jordan | fryguy, I just said ubuntu says GTK+ Theme Engine not installed | 06:06 |
jordan | it never did this in 8.04 | 06:06 |
jordan | ardchoille, no hense why I'm trying to fix it | 06:06 |

jordan | well I've noticed they removed stuff from apt for 8.10 like emerald | 06:07 |
Baatti | everything I'm reading about Linux talks about how Admins have their home folder as ROOT... yet, nothing is on my ROOT folder in Ubuntu 8.10, please explain | 06:07 |
tritium | jordan: emerald is still in the repos | 06:07 |
tritium | !info emerald | 06:07 |
ubottu | emerald (source: emerald): Decorator for compiz-fusion. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.2-0ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 255 kB, installed size 1380 kB | 06:07 |
^Cheeky | is there any other way to convert MKV to .m2ts format ? | 06:07 |
jordan | tritium, I tried searching for it a few mins ago 0 results | 06:08 |
fryguy | Baatti: that's not really clear. can you elaborate? the home directory for the root user is in /root/ | 06:08 |
ardchoille | jordan: This might be better for searching: apt-cache search engine | grep gtk | 06:08 |
tritium | jordan: see above | 06:08 |
Gnea | Baatti: there's a difference between the root account's home directory (/root) and the root directory of the system (/) | 06:08 |
ssmy | I'm running my server on 7.10. I am trying to install finch (command-line equivalent of pidgin), but it keeps trying to install X. How can I avoid installing x? | 06:08 |
jordan | ardchoille, yea it gives me like 200 packages | 06:08 |
ardchoille | jordan: yeah, noticed that | 06:08 |
fryguy | ssmy: you don't | 06:08 |
jordan | tritium, that really doesn't help me if apt-cache and apt-get can't find it | 06:08 |
Baatti | gnea so, my home directory has access to root, cause I'm the admin, whereas another user (not admin) can't access /root? is that correct? | 06:08 |
tritium | Baatti: you're reading a generic book, not specific to ubuntu. Ubuntu disables the root account, and uses sudo for security. See !sudo for more info. | 06:08 |
Baatti | ah | 06:09 |
jordan | I'll try switching mirrors | 06:09 |
Baatti | I gotcha | 06:09 |
ssmy | fryguy: let's assume I actually want to install finch. | 06:09 |
tritium | jordan: it does help you by pointing out that you need to enable the universe repo | 06:09 |
Baatti | so, any user can run as admin then? | 06:09 |
fryguy | ssmy: so then you install it, apt-get install finch | 06:09 |
jordan | tritium, you mean the third party sources? | 06:09 |
Gnea | Baatti: only if they're set to in sudoers | 06:09 |
tritium | Baatti: no, only those in the admin group | 06:09 |
fryguy | tritium: the root account isn't disabled, you just aren't provided with the password | 06:09 |
Gnea | !sudo | 06:09 |
tritium | jordan: no, the universe repo | 06:09 |
ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 06:09 |
jordan | and how do I enable that? | 06:09 |
tritium | fryguy: no, it's disabled | 06:09 |
Baatti | ah, so sudoers gives admin privs, and they need the admin password | 06:10 |
tritium | Baatti: you grant users sudo access by adding them to the admin group. | 06:10 |
Gnea | Baatti: you should just read the url given by ubottu to truely understand | 06:10 |
fryguy | tritium: that's not true. It's possible to log in as root on a stock ubuntu install without changing anything, therefore the account isn't "disabled" | 06:10 |
ssmy | I'll just install from source, see if that works... | 06:10 |
Gnea | Baatti: then ask questions - it's easier that way :) | 06:10 |
Baatti | gnea and tritium thank you both | 06:10 |
tritium | fryguy: no. "man passwd" and look for the -l (lock) switch. | 06:10 |

=== pc06 is now known as ce_imoet |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, let us see your sources.list | 06:15 |
mindrape | when people say the root account is disabled they mean from logging in... obviously the root account exists and is "usable" | 06:15 |
fryguy | mindrape: and it's possible to obtain a login shell | 06:15 |
mindrape | fryguy - obviously... | 06:15 |
mindrape | but not w the root password. | 06:15 |
mindrape | as its a "faceless" id in Ubuntu | 06:15 |
Gnea | ^Cheeky: avidemux is probably the easiest - and ffmpeg is extendible if it doesn't support what you need out of the box | 06:15 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: can you remind me how to output the source list in the terminal | 06:16 |
tritium | fryguy: read the passwd manpage, if you prefer. The account is "locked". No sense arguing over semantics. | 06:16 |
bazhang | JonathanElli1, /etc/apt/sources.list you can cat that then paste.ubuntu.com with it | 06:16 |

fryguy | tritium: so then why does sudo su - work? and why does logging in as root while having a public key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys work? And why do entries in utmp and wtmp appear when these actions occur (which display a list of logged in users). | 06:17 |
cyphase | when is eog going to get good svg support? | 06:17 |
ardchoille | Born2Learn: gkrellm is a nice thing that onitors all of that in a nice and skinnable gui | 06:17 |

tritium | fryguy: drop it. | 06:17 |
^Cheeky | Gnea, avidmeaux does not support .m2ts i just donwnloaded it | 06:17 |
Gnea | Born2Learn: right-click on your top desktop bar, "add to panel" and select the system monitor - you can customize it to add monitors for all of those things at the same time | 06:17 |
fryguy | tritium: and why does root have a shell associated for it in /etc/passwd | 06:18 |
Born2Learn | ardchoille: Thanks, gonna go google that now =D | 06:18 |

ssmy | Born2Learn: also check out Conky | 06:18 |

Born2Learn | ardchoille and ssmy: thanks :D | 06:18 |
Gnea | ^Cheeky: i'm pretty sure that avidemux doesn't support blu-ray yet. | 06:19 |
scunizi | bryantms, use synaptic | 06:19 |
wizzer | so, none would be | 06:19 |
wizzer | nothing? | 06:19 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: My sources list is at http://pastebin.com/f5b353b6b | 06:19 |

ezzieyguywuf | i'm trying to install the tp-smapi module using http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/howto-extend-life-of-your-thinkpads.html that link. I see that in synaptic i can get the source-code for the module. Where would it put the source code if i downloaded from synaptic, and would i just build the source from there? | 06:19 |
wizzer | k, thank you | 06:19 |
bryantms | but there's no where online to look at it? | 06:19 |

Tetracomm | When I select: "Install to USB drive" it doesn't detect my MP3 player as a USB drive, why? | 06:21 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: I have just removed all the ones connected with synce as I no longer use that but I need to keep the libaqbanking one | 06:21 |

Tetracomm | but it is mounted as a USB drive in Nautilus | 06:21 |
ezzieyguywuf | scunizi: i'll search ubuntu forums for a bit and use that as a last resort. thanks for your help | 06:21 |

iggi | hi | 06:33 |
Zurah | I've looked at them, Gnea, thanks though... This is a strange problem, as the mic works with windows. | 06:33 |
jordan_ | alright another issue, I hooked up my USB headset and when I switched the sound properties over to Logitech USB headset and now music won't play and all audio players kinda have a spaz attack | 06:33 |
jordan_ | at this rate I'm considering downgrading to 8.04 | 06:33 |
Gnea | Zurah: you've made sure the mic and mic boost aren't muted and turned on and that capture is turned on? | 06:33 |
Flannel | fryguy: `sudo -k` will clear your timestamp | 06:33 |
faryshta | Hi, someone here have tried to use the new beta of XFCE? | 06:34 |
ssmy | Zurah: try opening volume control, go to preferences, make sure mic is on. make sure it isn't muted | 06:34 |
Flannel | fryguy: Also, you can modify the timeout in sudoers | 06:34 |
fryguy | Flannel: what do I change to make the timeout instantaneous | 06:34 |
Zurah | I have made sure that the mic isn't muted and that the capture is turned on. | 06:34 |
Flannel | fryguy: Set it in your sudoers | 06:34 |
fryguy | Flannel: set what, there is no mention of time or duration in my sudoers file | 06:34 |
JonathanElli1 | bazhang: So It seems I can choose between disabling updates for Gnucash or upgrading to Intrepid. | 06:34 |
Zurah | Mic boost's on to-- when I try to record anything, however, all that plays back is a loud tone. | 06:35 |
Gnea | Zurah: what are you using to record with? | 06:35 |
telco | I just upgraded to 8.10 and now my screen shuts off in the middle of the boot. The forums is full of similar problems. Can someone here help me out? | 06:36 |
Zurah | The default sound recorder that came with ubuntu 8.10. | 06:36 |
Originooo | hey, i've installed virtualbox on 8.04 but i can't capture the mouse. it looks like virtual box can't find this device. Im using a standard usb one....does anyone know the problem? | 06:36 |
Gnea | I suggest audacity | 06:36 |
joot | telco, are you using a shared memory card? | 06:36 |
Flannel | fryguy: That's because its not given a default value in sudoers, but you can specify it. | 06:37 |
Zurah | LOL How funny. | 06:37 |
fryguy | Flannel: how do i specify it | 06:37 |
^Cheeky | Gnea, i tired using ffmpeg with this line ffmpeg -i file.mkv -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec ac3 file.avi; mv file.avi file.m2ts but it gave me an error : http://pastebin.com/d5bcee5f1 | 06:37 |
telco | @joot I don't think so. Why? | 06:37 |
Zurah | I was wiggling my foot under my desk, bumping the cord on my mic, when suddenly I heard it through my speakers. | 06:37 |
Zurah | It's working now, though I've no idea why. | 06:37 |
Flannel | fryguy: man sudoers, timestamp_timeout | 06:37 |
joot | telco, I had the same prob and decided that was the cause I have gone back to hardy now | 06:38 |
adouba | hi | 06:38 |
fryguy | Flannel: what is the syntax to use? I tried appending it but visudo is telling me that the syntax is wrong | 06:38 |
Zurah | Wait, no! It won't record, but the sound is coming through the speakers. | 06:38 |
telco | @joot I honestly don't know. It's an ATI onboard for my laptop. | 06:38 |
faryshta | Have someone give a try to the beta release of XFCE 4.6? | 06:38 |
Gnea | ^Cheeky: try #ffmpeg | 06:39 |
telco | I am in the process of getting hardy ISO right now. That's my plan too. | 06:39 |
telco | Unless I can figure something out. | 06:39 |
ssmy | Zurah: generally the easiest way in my experience to get microphones to work is just to keep messing with it until it works | 06:39 |
^Cheeky | Gnea, seems dead .. :/ | 06:39 |
joot | telco, I really think that may be your problem but I an not a geek so try your question again in a few minutes | 06:39 |
Gnea | ^Cheeky: just be patient | 06:39 |
^Cheeky | Gnea, ok | 06:40 |
Flannel | fryguy: It it anywhere an option is valid. Defaults would be a good line to append it to. | 06:40 |
Zurah | ssmy, I've been messing for a while. Whatever goes into my mic comes out my speakers, but when I try to record from the mic, it doesn't work. | 06:40 |
telco | @joot It seems to be quite a common problem. Not just my card. Actually I have a desktop machine that I'm using as a server that had the same problem. Or at least it seems the same. But when I boot with the old kernel that one works fine. But this one doesn't work with the old kernel even. | 06:41 |
sanjiro | my sound card is detected, ive checked alsamixer and nothing is muted, regular volume settings nothing muted... what's missing that i need to do to enable sound? | 06:41 |
alex_mayorga | is this already packaged for Intrepid http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php ? | 06:42 |
fryguy | Flannel: I added another Defaults line underneath the first one: Defaults timestamp_timeout=0 and it's giving me a syntax error still | 06:42 |
towlie | if i want to modify a non boot partition, can i use gparted to do it ? | 06:42 |
Flannel | fryguy: Append it to the other line. Don't have two Default lines. | 06:42 |
wastrel | man sudoers is my favorite manpage | 06:42 |
joot | telco, It is a bit odd installed 8.10 on two old machines one just failed and the other just worked both similar spec micro atx sharedmem boards so I really am a bit clueless | 06:43 |
fryguy | Flannel: Defaults env_reset timestamp_timeout=0 still getting a syntax error | 06:43 |
fr500 | hi | 06:43 |
fr500 | i set hddparm to enter standby after one hour of non activity | 06:44 |
Flannel | fryguy: that shouldn't be your sudoers file, unless you've modified it before. Care to pastebin what you've got? (By default, contains no unique information) | 06:44 |
fr500 | but it never goes to standby | 06:44 |
alex_mayorga | !sta | 06:44 |

fr500 | do I need to enable laptop mode? | 06:44 |
towlie | when i run gparted it says scanning all devices but never seems to finish scanning. has anyone else had this problem ? | 06:44 |
fryguy | Flannel: i've never modified my sudoers file before, this is a stock install in a vm that i'm working with right now | 06:44 |
wastrel | fryguy: you're using visudo yes? | 06:44 |
fryguy | Flannel: i don't feel comfortable making changes to this file on a real install until i'm comfortable with what exactly it's doing | 06:44 |
fryguy | wastrel: yes | 06:44 |
towlie | can anyone help me ? | 06:45 |

telco | So I guess now I need to know how to roll back without losing my configuration. I spent a lot of time in 8.04 and it was working flawlessly. I'd hate to have to start fresh. | 06:48 |
abby | I don't know crap about Ubuntu since I got Gentoo | 06:48 |
Flannel | fryguy: Leave it. If it was there, it's there. That's just a spartan sudoers from what I'm used to. Perhaps thats just newer versions. | 06:48 |
abby | anyone? | 06:48 |
qbmaniac | no | 06:48 |

LF|Irssi | what "window" phillipbeynon ? don ttalk to me talk to the channel :) | 06:59 |
Bsims | guestguestnew: I know but its still an easy way to network the two together | 06:59 |
guestguestnew | Bsims, but samba is designed to connect to windows networks? shouldn't linux have its on networking? | 07:00 |
fryguy | guestguestnew: it does | 07:00 |
jujuthecow | how do i uninstall ubuntu? | 07:00 |
ssmy | ]NFS | 07:00 |
tdawgedogg | hey im installing ubuntu 8.04...should i make it a primary or logical partition? | 07:00 |
Bsims | It does but samba is usually less hassle and works with the others | 07:00 |
guestguestnew | fryguy: how do i set it up? | 07:00 |
ssmy | tdawgedogg: do you have existing partitions? | 07:01 |

tdawgedogg | no existing partitions on that drive | 07:01 |
fryguy | guestguestnew: install nfs, add entries to /etc/exports, put those mounts in /etc/ftsab if you want to make them easier to mount, and that's it | 07:01 |
tdawgedogg | but i have a shit load of other drives | 07:01 |
lolo2 | does anyone know how to fix the Unknown encoder 'mpeg4' error in ffmpeg? | 07:01 |
fryguy | Bsims: not only would i disagree that samba is easier, nfs is also measurably faster than samba | 07:01 |
ssmy | guestguestnew: search on the ubuntu forums | 07:01 |
jujuthecow | no partitions | 07:01 |
tritium | tdawgedogg: no need for foul language, thank you | 07:01 |

jujuthecow | tell me about it | 07:02 |
towlie | hey guys i need help. i have 4 partitions 1. is linux 2. is an empty ntfs partition 3. is empty fat partition and 4 is swap. i want to merge partitions 2 and 3 in gparted. do i need to reinstall the boot loader after i do this ? | 07:02 |
* Bsims nods true enough fryguy... its mostly that I've used samba before and not nfs | 07:02 |
tdawgedogg | so i use primary if i dont have any other partitions on the drive? | 07:02 |
ssmy | towlie: maybe? i don't know. if you need to just search the internet for 'reinstall grub' | 07:03 |
ssmy | tdawgedogg: generally, yes. | 07:03 |
jujuthecow | is there a way to play maplestory on ubuntu? | 07:03 |
ssmy | google is your friend | 07:03 |
tdawgedogg | ssmy: also can i choose to install ubuntu without grub bootloadeR? | 07:04 |
jim_p | goodmorning guys. has anyone ever used wifiradar? i cant wait to ditch wicd as well :P | 07:04 |
phillipbeynon | Who can help me with this issue as poste above please? | 07:04 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: this is no error | 07:04 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: i get more or less the same every single time. does the pc boot normally after that?? | 07:05 |
phillipbeynon | pardon me for my ignorance, but I don't understand the signifigance of the statement flly | 07:05 |
Zurah | Any idea why my mic is routed through my speakers, but not able to record onto the computer? | 07:05 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: ?? | 07:05 |
jim_p | Zurah: improper module configuration | 07:06 |
ssmy | tdawgedogg: not really... you need a bootloader. | 07:06 |
ssmy | Zurah: perhaps your mic is for some reason routed through line-in? | 07:06 |
phillipbeynon | Yes, jim_p? | 07:06 |
FluxD | I have a question regarding running an executable. I saw usually you have to do ./name but what if I want to run it form home dir like /home/abc/1234/name. How would I run that? | 07:06 |
joot | philiiipbeynon, Is your computer booting ?? | 07:06 |
Zurah | ssmy, how would I fix that, if it were? | 07:06 |
Bsims | Whats a good perfectly supported motherboard chipset/nic combo for intel... I'm wanting something middle of the road, I don't overclock but do expect rocksolid performance | 07:06 |
tdawgedogg | i keep getting an error when i install ubuntu.....error 5 when i try to boot after install | 07:06 |
tdawgedogg | i have 10 hard drives in this machine...but stilll | 07:07 |
jujuthecow | how do use launch .exe files? Every time i try to it says i need another program to launch a launchable program... | 07:07 |
Bsims | FluxD: /home/abc/1234/name/exe | 07:07 |
mkquist | FluxD: just give the full pathname when you try to run it | 07:07 |
mkquist | FluxD: llike that above.. lol | 07:07 |
FluxD | Bsims, mkquist thanks let me try that | 07:07 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: does it boot normally ? then there is no need to worry. at that point the most worrying circumstance to happen is a kernel panic. | 07:07 |
phillipbeynon | jim_p, no the machine doesn't boot past it. It attepts to load xwindows but then drops to the terminal. | 07:07 |
alex_mayorga | my AltGr key is non functional, any ideas? | 07:08 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: wait. does it show the ubuntu loading screen? | 07:08 |
alex_mayorga | already triple checked my keyboard layout | 07:08 |
FluxD | Bsims, mkquist not working, here is what I am doing /home/fluxd/pisg/pisg (name of exe) | 07:09 |
phillipbeynon | jim_p: the F8 terminal hangs. If I switch to F1 i get "Starting up … Loading, please wait… Ubuntu 8.04.1 (None) tty1 (none) Login:" | 07:09 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: then it loads but it does not reach X | 07:10 |
ssmy | alex_mayorga: broken keyboard? | 07:10 |
cube | is there a speech recognition app? | 07:10 |
alex_mayorga | ssmy, was working just right moments ago | 07:10 |
jim_p | cube: i think festival | 07:11 |
Zurah | ssmy: How would I fix my mic being routed through the line-in? | 07:11 |
alex_mayorga | ssmy, everything works just fine, but the AltGr "modifier", really odd | 07:11 |
tekirai | need help with madwifi someone please PM me | 07:12 |
jim_p | cube: my mistake, festival is text to speech | 07:12 |
ssmy | Zurah: no idea. try looking for people knowlegeable about pulseaudio | 07:12 |
jim_p | tekirai: can you be more specific? | 07:12 |
ohdamnallnics | Can anyone help me install ubuntu on a g3 using USB Thumbdrive? | 07:12 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: what vga are you on? | 07:12 |
cube | jim_p thanks anyway though | 07:12 |
jim_p | cube you are welcome | 07:13 |
bjordan | during install, can ubuntu resize NTFS partitions without loss of data? | 07:13 |
Zurah | Thanks, I'll look that up. | 07:13 |
phillipbeynon | jim_p: correct, it attempts to load. the UBUNTU screen comes up and the progress bar goes half way across before pausing for a while then moving again for a bit, then the creen fills with "/etc/init.d/rc: 317: Permission Denied" | 07:13 |
jim_p | bjordan: before install, yes. open gparted and shrink the partition | 07:13 |
alex_mayorga | ohdamnllnics, clarify "g3", please | 07:13 |
ohdamnallnics | bjordan, you are going to be fine, you can resize NTFS without loss of daddy | 07:13 |
tekirai | my unbunt install uses the restricted driver for an ahteros wifi card in my toshiba laptop but when I go under the network manager it does not work and this is the last piece of hardware that is keeping me from using unbuntu full time need some help getting it to work | 07:13 |
jujuthecow | i installed ubuntu a couple hours ago and now i cant install windows xp pro back on my comp no partitions any idea? | 07:13 |
ohdamnallnics | alex_mayorga, mac g3 | 07:13 |
jim_p | has anyone ever used wifiradar? i cant wait to ditch wicd as well :P | 07:14 |
alex_mayorga | ohdamnallnics, does it have USB boot? | 07:14 |
bjordan | ohdamnallnics, jim_p: thanks (this was for a friend, making the switch) | 07:14 |
FluxD | Bsims, mkquist not working, here is what I am doing /home/fluxd/pisg/pisg (name of exe) is that right? | 07:14 |
jim_p | ohdamnallnics: well you will need a ppc based cd to make the installation there. | 07:14 |
phillipbeynon | jim_p: "What VGA" I'm unsure what your trying to get at here. it is a laptop, so I'm using the LCD. | 07:15 |
mkquist | FluxD: did you set permissions for it? | 07:15 |
ohdamnallnics | alex_mayorga, yeah, the problem is im using a PC, and i want to install ubuntu on the thumbdrive and boot the g3 with it, i already ahve the ppc install cd | 07:15 |
joot | bjordan, it is recommended the you defrag win before doing the resize | 07:15 |
FluxD | mkquist, yup ./pisg works fine | 07:15 |
ohdamnallnics | jim_p, read above lol | 07:15 |
jim_p | phillipbeynon: paste here the output of this lspci | grep VGA | 07:15 |
cube | looks like only way for voice to text in ubuntu is wine with dragon natural speeking | 07:15 |
tekirai | cane someone help with with an atheros wificard | 07:15 |
alex_mayorga | is this already packaged http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt I'm still stuck with a non working Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 07:16 |
bjordan | joot: is it worth restarting to do that, in your opinion? | 07:16 |
mkquist | FluxD: hmm should work... | 07:16 |
ohdamnallnics | can anyone give me an idea of how to copy the ppc iso onto a thumbdrive? | 07:16 |
ssmy | bjordan: look around you can defrag the win partition form linux. google | 07:16 |
joot | bjordan, I truly do not know just quoting conventional wisdom | 07:16 |
jim_p | ohdamnallnics: i read above! last time ubuntu made a ppc live cd was on 6.10! are you sure you will make a kernel yourself to boot it? | 07:16 |
ohdamnallnics | jim_p, i found an 8.04 port on the ubuntu site | 07:17 |
alex_mayorga | ohdamnallnics, use an intrepid wubi install and create a USB startup disk from the iso | 07:17 |
ssmy | ohdamnallnics: look for any old tutorial on making an ubuntu flash drive. also, i thought ubuntu hasn't had a ppc port since like 6.10 | 07:17 |
ssmy | jim_p: woah. you said it. | 07:17 |
jim_p | ssmy: thanks. big brains meet :P | 07:17 |

ssmy | i had no idea | 07:20 |
jim_p | ohdamnallnics: oh. then download the desktop version cd from there and make a bootable usb out of it! | 07:20 |
ohdamnallnics | so, would unetbootin work? | 07:20 |
Baatti | alex_mayorga ok, just a sec, I forget the exact command... something like sudo chmod somethingorother blacklist somethingelse | 07:20 |
ssmy | ohdamnallnics: maybe. | 07:20 |
ohdamnallnics | woudl unetbootin work for a ppc boot? | 07:20 |

werdnum | jim_p: k, thanks :) | 07:25 |
flemco | bye | 07:25 |
jim_p | KentuckyBigFoot: well i have used the fsecure one once to scan a pc. it could not update itself because the kernel could not recognise the ethernet controller. scanning took ~1hour+ and the pc proved to be clean. antivir live cds regemerate daily or weekly | 07:26 |

joebodo | kasutaja im running wubi - it's automatically mounted when i boot | 07:59 |
kasutaja | joebodo, sorry, never tried wubi | 08:00 |
joebodo | kasutaja it installs a sudo partition on a windows ntfs filesystem - | 08:00 |

Surlent777 | courtjesterg_, beats me then. I just upgraded last week and had all sorts of weird stuff happen | 08:27 |
RUMMY | yes. and when I click test I hear sound | 08:27 |
Flashtek | mrpockets: which desktop ? | 08:27 |
matthew_ | courtjesterg_, sudo apt-get install xchat maybe | 08:27 |
Surlent777 | courtjesterg_: including having new programs for some reason, while others disappeared | 08:27 |
RUMMY | but then that sound don't stops | 08:27 |
mrpockets | Flashtek, brand new 8.07 install | 08:27 |
Gnea | even when you turn the volume down? | 08:27 |
AbortD | haha damnit my comp keeps beeping | 08:27 |
Flashtek | mrpockets: Gnome of KDE or what ? | 08:27 |
mrpockets | Gnome | 08:27 |
AbortD | ever since i replaced the power suppliest i hear beeps | 08:28 |
AbortD | supply | 08:29 |
Flashtek | AbortD: get a replacement PSU | 08:29 |
Gnea | AbortD: did you build the system yourself or was it prefab? | 08:29 |
eydaimon | anyway to start up gnome-terminal without borders? | 08:29 |
AbortD | prefab | 08:30 |
Surlent777 | Before I upgraded from 8.04.1 to 8.10, I had both KDE 3, and KDE 4. Then, I had neither, and most of the applications from KDE disappeared. (I use GNOME primarily, but keep other DE's around for kicks) Annoyed, I redownloaded the KDE stuff via Synaptic, and now in KDE the System Settings bit in the menu doesn't work, and neither does Konqueror. What can I do to fix these things? | 08:30 |
AbortD | this is the second power supply i replaced | 08:30 |
AbortD | too | 08:30 |
Flashtek | mrpockets: I don't know the Gnome way of turning off the icons.. but in Kde there is a desktop options box.. | 08:30 |
Gnea | AbortD: did you replace the PSU according to their standards? | 08:30 |
tisch_ | just terminal no x environment? change the innitab file to run at 3, not 5. | 08:30 |
AbortD | haha whats PSU? | 08:30 |
AbortD | power supply unit? | 08:30 |
Gnea | Power Supply Unit | 08:30 |
AbortD | and prolly not :P | 08:30 |
Gnea | therein lies the problem | 08:31 |
AbortD | i said oh look my brothers computer he never uses | 08:31 |
AbortD | could it cause bad things to happen? | 08:31 |
Flashtek | AbortD: yup | 08:31 |
AbortD | like? | 08:31 |
Flashtek | AbortD: smoke... | 08:31 |
AbortD | oh thats it? | 08:31 |
Gnea | AbortD: ask yourself this: does sticking a fork into a power socket cause bad things to happen? | 08:31 |
Flashtek | AbortD: no smoke without fire mate.. | 08:31 |
AbortD | well i mean shit if the power supply catches fire i dont mind | 08:32 |
AbortD | just buy another haha | 08:32 |
chuckmoney | AbortD: basically, if you try to run too much off a PSU it will either underpower certain components or fry them entirely. You could lose anything except basically the case. | 08:32 |
