| natalie | So, at the suggestion of another member here, I watched my Processor temp in my BIOS. From the time I looked at it, until when I exited, The temperature had climbed from 33 C to 39 C in about 5 minutes. Can anyone tell me what that might mean. | 00:00 |
| Rusty0918 | It is a sata drive | 00:00 |
| rmn | erUSUL, yes, two linies | 00:00 |
| erat123 | has anyone ever gotten openldap working as a server with windows boxes as clients? | 00:00 |
| rmn | -i | 00:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | or mencoder.. im still not clear on how the 2 are related.. | 00:00 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: Yes it is a SATA | 00:00 |
| Uplink | jrib: thanx :D | 00:00 |
| Petein | hi. how can i delete recursively all the files whose name contain the string "AAA" ? | 00:00 |
| jrib | natalie: those temperatures seem fine | 00:00 |
| cmdbbq | Dr_willis_: they are different programs that do essentially the same thing | 00:00 |
| BlueEagle | natalie: Did you have a look in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature? | 00:00 |
| jrib | natalie: well for any processor I've owned anyway | 00:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | Petein with creative use of the find command.. is one way | 00:01 |
| erUSUL | rmn: so the driver is loaded... can you post your « dmesg » output on a pastebin ? | 00:01 |
| natalie | BlueEagle, no I didn't | 00:01 |
| hololight | well, the boot up sequence is two part.... it take it, it is giving you that problem after quite a bit has already loaded? like when it says it is trying to load files to boot the system? | 00:01 |
| cmdbbq | the ubuntu version of ffmpeg doesn't support a few codecs, most notably mp3, for legal reasons, not sure about mencoder | 00:01 |
| jrib | Petein: or with zsh globbing! find works too like Dr_willis_ said | 00:01 |
| BlueEagle | natalie: When your looking at your bios screen your computer is hardly working. But if you watch the temperature while your machine is actually doing stuff you will see a whole other result. | 00:01 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: Well it is in the middle of the base system install when it's giving me that message | 00:02 |
| rmn | erUSUL, interesting line: [ 850.947249] ata1: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 8 secs | 00:02 |
| rmn | [ 858.725083] ata1: hard resetting link | 00:02 |
| natalie | BlueEagle, how would I be able to monitor it while it is running? | 00:02 |
| erUSUL | Petein: use it at your own risk → find folder/ -name '*AAA*' -exec rm {} \; | 00:02 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, but yes the boot is two-part. | 00:02 |
| rmn | erUSUL, it repeats that over and over for ata1 and ata2 (card has two drives) | 00:03 |
| jrib | erUSUL: -delete is easier to write :) | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | rmn: yep... but it is weird that problems appear only by adding more ram | 00:03 |
| IaintheRed | Is there a easy way to apt-get remove the binutils with out removing the other files or is there a way to apt-get install a older version of the binutils? or should I just creat a symbolic link to the currect version to reflect the older version name?? | 00:03 |
| === Sdubs|Away is now known as Srinster | ||
| BlueEagle | natalie: You could repeatedly cat the file and watch the value change or you can use an application that monitors that file for changes and updates a display. | 00:03 |
| jrib | !away > Srinster | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | rmn: maybe the sata cables (or power) loosened when you opened the case | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Srinster, please see my private message | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | jrib: noted ;P | 00:03 |
| BlueEagle | natalie: The BIOS is not the only place where you can read the cpu temperature. | 00:04 |
| BlueEagle | :) | 00:04 |
| rmn | erUSUL, i rewired, and i find it improbable that three distinct wires are broken/loose | 00:04 |
| csilk | natalie, yeah | 00:04 |
| === FiremanEd_ is now known as FiremanEd | ||
| Rusty0918 | hololight: Still with me? | 00:04 |
| jrib | erUSUL: though I'm not sure if it will have a different result. ie it may delete directories | 00:04 |
| rmn | other drives got far rougher treatment, but they're on the mobo and works fine | 00:04 |
| hololight | Rusty0918: Well, I have heard of a few cases (not many), where there was a problem with the system loading the drivers for a SATA cd drive. But since you are saying the desktop version is working fine, I am almost at a loss | 00:04 |
| amrik | hi i am trying to set up vista as a dual boot (ubuntu is my main). what do i need to be careful of to avoid overwriting all my data? | 00:05 |
| natalie | csilk, BlueEagle: Any program suggestions | 00:05 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: alright sounds good. So after I do apt-get install $(for package in $(aptitude -F '%p' search '~Aintrepid-backports~i'); do echo -n ${package}'/intrepid ' ; done) I should replace it with apt-get install $(for package in $(aptitude -F '%p' search '~Aintrepid-security~i'); do echo -n ${package}'/intrepid-security ' ; done) | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | rmn: well; i can not think on any other cause... may be a kernel bug. Report it | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | !bugs | rmn | 00:05 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | jrib: maybe we should add a -type f XD | 00:05 |
| rmn | erUSUL, ok. but *if* it is a bug then it *ought* to return to normal by removing the ram-socket? | 00:05 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: Perhaps it could be a bug in the image itself perhaps. 8.10 server wasn't launched too long ago | 00:05 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: and after that do -security, -updates, and then just /intrepid | 00:05 |
| rmn | erUSUL, for what it's worth i went from 2GB to 4GB (x64) | 00:05 |
| Uplink | lol i have 250 processes | 00:06 |
| jrib | gravemind1: nope, you need to change -backports to -proposed and that stays constant. Then you should start with /intrepid-security, then /intrepid-updates, then /intrepid | 00:06 |
| hololight | Rusty0918: you could try and download the Alternate Installer cd? | 00:06 |
| jrib | gravemind1: you should be running it 3 times | 00:06 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: And since most people download the desktop verison anyways...I guess that may have been overlooked. | 00:06 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: Alternate Installer CD? | 00:06 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: What's that? | 00:06 |
| rmn | Rusty0918, just a different iso with an old, classic installer | 00:06 |
| === mabry_ is now known as ThePredator | ||
| hololight | Rusty0918: The other 'non-ideal' solution is to set up your desktop install as a server.... quite possible | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | rmn: well it may be worth trying just to make sure it is the extra ram. it woulb be weird but with computers you never know | 00:07 |
| nat2610 | how can I see what ressources is using my soundcard ... I don't have any more sound .... I know if I reboot it will work again but I'm curious why right now nothing is played | 00:07 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: alright -- I already ran the first command I showed you, which downgraded some backports I think. I will run it correctly now | 00:07 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: Where do I get that from? | 00:07 |
| VanessaE | I'm trying to examine some files sitting on a friend's Ipod, but when I plug it in, I either get a window with files that I can't actually read (the file manager hangs) or nothing at all happens | 00:07 |
| IaintheRed | anyone here good with binutils? | 00:07 |
| VanessaE | it is an iPod Nano 8GB. | 00:07 |
| nat2610 | or is there anything I can restart in terms of process to get the sound back ? | 00:07 |
| rmn | erUSUL, granted. :) i'll mess with it tomorrow, thanks for your assistance. | 00:07 |
| DavidCanarias | I cant get amsn to work properly. Can anyone help me please??? | 00:07 |
| BlueEagle | !ipod | 00:07 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | rmn: no problem | 00:08 |
| hololight | rusty0918: On the download page, server, off to the right; the link is not very obvious | 00:08 |
| nat2610 | !sound | 00:08 |
| jrib | gravemind1: hmm. Maybe it's easier to just do /intrepid and then upgrade your system after removing -proposed. I don't think my suggestion will work (you'll end up with the same result) | 00:08 |
| 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 | 00:08 |

| flats | Any ubuntu networks around? I could really use a little help. I have a laptop with a wired NIC and wireless ( pretty standard). I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and if I do ifconfig, I have a eth0 eth1 eth0:avahi and lo. My wired works but if I select the globe at the top right my ETH1 shows my SSID of my wireless and a full blue bar yet I get no connection and the ETH1 in ifconfig shows no Address | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | Peddy: yes but keep in mind that the 64 bit plugin is *alpha* | 00:08 |
| earthmeLon | hey buddies!! I'm trying to get Tor+Vidalia+Foxyproxy working in firefox under 8.04 and it seems everything is working, but my ip address is not changing. I had to compile vidalia from source to get it to work and I installed tor from apt-get. Does anybody here have any suggestions for me to help getting my Tor working? | 00:08 |
| habit_ | Hello guys. Advice me please - how to make ubuntustudio bootsplash widescreen? Stretched image looks really horrible. | 00:09 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: I see what you mean | 00:09 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: alright, so just doing /intrepid, then apt-get upgrading | 00:09 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: I'm wondering if its buggy or something | 00:09 |
| jrib | gravemind1: apt-get upgrading only after removing -proposed from sources.list and running apt-get update, yes | 00:09 |
| Peddy | erUSUL: I know, but I'm giving it a shot because the I'm affected by 7 major bugs using the nspluginwrapper way. | 00:09 |
| KillerOrca | flats: any encryption enabled? | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | !tor | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 00:09 |
| gravemind1 | hmm jrib, I have already removed -proposed. | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | Peddy: ok; good luck | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | They need to make a better factoid for that. :() | 00:10 |
| flats | yes it says (WPA/RSN) | 00:10 |
| jrib | gravemind1: you need to put it back for the first command to work | 00:10 |
| Peddy | :) | 00:10 |
| hololight | Rusty0918: Well, another option is to download a previous version and try that, but I dont think you will get much more mileage. | 00:10 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: thank explains why it didn't work then :P alright | 00:10 |
| earthmeLon | That's not very helpful Dr_willis_ | 00:10 |
| Uplink | MTecknology: why is conky acting up on me? it hid all my desktop shortcuts and its on the middle | 00:10 |
| cmdbbq | I am (still;-) following this how to: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5omaxe , but I want to run proftpd from inetd rather than as a standalone, is the command different? when i run the command given (to start the server) I get the following error: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd. | 00:10 |
| hololight | Rusty0918: I would say first try the alt; then if it still doesn't work, set up a desktop install as your web server. | 00:11 |
| MTecknology | Uplink: watch the output | 00:11 |
| erUSUL | Dr_willis_: you are wellcome to try to make it better ;) | 00:11 |
| deigel | earthmeLon: there is a line in the privoxy config file you need to uncomment, then restart privoxy using /etc/init.d/privoxy restart. the line, has to do with fowarding socks4a. also don't use foxyproxy, use torbutton, foxyproxy is not secure. | 00:11 |
| flats | KillerOrcA: Yes, it shows (WPA/RSN) | 00:11 |
| BlueEagle | VanessaE: what happens when you execute the read-sysinfo-extended command? | 00:11 |
| jrib | gravemind1: basically, the command searches for all installed packages that have a version in -proposed, then tells apt to install the version from 'intrepid' repos of that package | 00:11 |
| mib | how can i upgrade the java version. it requires me to have Java 1.5.0 | 00:11 |
| KillerOrca | flats: ok, so you do have encryption enabled on the network? | 00:11 |
| mib | but i only have java version "1.4.2-02" | 00:11 |
| VanessaE | command not found :) | 00:12 |
| === parkerhiggins_ is now known as parkerhiggins | ||
| earthmeLon | deigel. I will use torbutton instead of foxyproxy. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try reading up on what makes it better. I will also edit my pricvoxy config file. Would that be located in my home dir? .privoxy or something? | 00:12 |
| flats | KillerOrca: Yes I do | 00:12 |
| BlueEagle | VanessaE: So you didn't read the link in that article that explains how to manage your ipod nano then? | 00:12 |
| MTecknology | Uplink: gtg- good luck w/ it | 00:12 |
| erUSUL | mib: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:12 |
| jrib | gravemind1: if you want, you can just run the inside part and then deal with the packages manually (specifying /intrepid or /intrepid-security or /interpid-updates yourself as appropriate) | 00:12 |
| Krzysztof | Anyone: I installed Ubuntu 8.10. And I have the nVidia video card for my laptop. But not the latest drivers. 2 questions - Where can I get the latest drivers and will that change the appearance of Ubuntu. Because right now it looks like Knoppix. =/ | 00:12 |
| KillerOrca | flats: have you tried temporarily removing the encryption? | 00:12 |
| mib | sun-java6-jre is already the newest version. | 00:13 |
| VanessaE | BlueEagle, as I said, I've already looked at that page. | 00:13 |
| earthmeLon | deigel: /etc/privoxy/config | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | Krzysztof drivers dont change the 'look' of the desktop.. other then perhaps for the default resolution. | 00:13 |
| BlueEagle | VanessaE: To get the iPod 3rd Generation Nano to work, you may find this article helpful: | 00:13 |
| Krzysztof | Willis: How would I change the resolution then? | 00:13 |
| flats | Killerorca: Ya know I thought I about that, but thought there might be something easy I'm missing. Let me try that. BRB | 00:13 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: I think I'll do them automatically if possible just so I won't mess anything up | 00:13 |
| Krzysztof | Willis: I'm quite new to Linux | 00:13 |
| Rusty0918 | hololight: OK I'm gonna try an older version and see where that takes me | 00:13 |
| hololight | Krzysztof: System-> Administration-> Hardware Drivers | 00:13 |
| VanessaE | I'm told this is not a 3G but rather a 'classic' ipod (it is a nano though) | 00:13 |
| mib | when i quireid java -version. it gives me java version "1.4.2-02" | 00:13 |
| BlueEagle | VanessaE: Where "this" is a link that shows you how it's done in gutsy. However since you're most likely using ibex you would want to check the repository if those packages have made it in. | 00:14 |
| jrib | !multijava | mib | 00:14 |
| ubottu | mib: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives | 00:14 |
| deigel | earthmeLon: its in /etc/privoxy/config the line as it needs to be uncommented, has something that references socks4a so just search for socks4a find the line (in regards to forwarding) then restart it. | 00:14 |
| BlueEagle | VanessaE: if they have not all I can do is suggest you try it as it stands and hope for the best. | 00:14 |
| VanessaE | Ok, I'm on "this" page now reading. | 00:14 |
| Rusty0918 | I'll try 8.04 | 00:14 |
| VanessaE | I got confused, sorry | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | mib: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:14 |
| DavidCanarias | My msn isnt working properly. Can anyone help me please? | 00:14 |

| VanessaE | ..and I'm using hardy actually. | 00:14 |

| Krzysztof | Wait a second....Oh my. Is an EvereX GBook suppose to have Ubuntu on it, like when you purchase it? Or is it suppose to have another OS? | 00:25 |
| sudobash | so I have a friend that has just crashed from updating from 8.04 to 8.10 and he is getting name@name$ and no commands are being recognized.... I dont actually have physical access to this laptop, but I can print something out on his printer through his Router.... I told him to type startx and iwconfig to see if I could get him on his wifi and then I could ssh to him | 00:25 |
| sigma | hey guys. i'm looking at linux bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281647 . I have a problem related to this and it seems the only solution available to me is to compile a new kernel with this patch. true/false? | 00:25 |
| sudobash | but it is saying command not found | 00:25 |
| sudobash | name@name$ | 00:25 |
| gravemind | jrib: alright looks like apt is not doing anything crazy, just downgrading stuff. here goes the /intrepid command | 00:25 |
| hololight | Krzysztof: you can type "lspci | grep nVidia" in a console... somewhere in the result should be the name and model of your card | 00:25 |
| chaqui1 | I've tried reinstalling it, but it hasn't fixed it, I was thinking if I could use an argument to start it in its native resolution | 00:25 |
| BlueEagle | VanessaE: were there any errors when installing the two packages? | 00:26 |
| chaqui1 | or if the game had a safe mod | 00:26 |
| VanessaE | no. | 00:26 |
| KleRoi | mmm Gershwin still there? | 00:26 |
| hololight | chaqui1: the fastest way for me to suggest fixing it (without knowing the speficis of that particular game) is to uninstall it (completely) and then reinstall | 00:26 |
| eddVRS | jrib: entire upgrade output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74077/ | 00:26 |
| hololight | you could also try typing "man game-start-command" in the console and see what it says about arguments | 00:27 |

| KleRoi | ok... well i'll have another question for you guys, how can I format and make a clean install of ubuntu (i have the cd of intrepid) while saving some folders (music, movies)? i dont have any external hd. | 00:28 |
| gravemind | |seb|: use the hardware manager to deactivate the restricted driver I think | 00:29 |
| sudobash | not recognizing commands | 00:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | Krzysztof last i looked it was its own disrto and you could download the iso/isntall it.. Or you could enable the repos and install it on a ubuntu box. | 00:29 |
| Firstru7h | I tried to use the nvidia one so i could get desktop effects but when i rebooted i got the splash screen then a black screen and the login screen sound | 00:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | Krzysztof of course thelast i tried it.. it wasent really worth trying.. :) I would suggest using Ubuntu, and try gos inside virtualbox | 00:29 |
| |seb| | gravemind: thanks..is that the same as System-Preferences-Hardware Drivers? | 00:29 |
| gravemind | |seb|: yes, but it's under administration | 00:30 |

After doing that I can install Windows | 00:37 |

| Flannel | Tyrath: Have you tried #winehq? (thats the wine channel) It's likely a wine issue (bug, configuration, whatever), and not ubuntu specific (although you're welcome to ask here) | 01:06 |
| Flannel | daave: Why did you set a root password to begin with? | 01:06 |
| Flannel | daave, voraistos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 01:06 |
| voraistos | daave: however gdm wont let you login as root, so you need to do it from the vt | 01:07 |
| daave | raven: I know, passwd <myname> and then it will give prompt. | 01:07 |
| Tyrath | Flannel: see the thing is that I'm scared that ubuntu's not reading the disk properly but I could be wrong given it seems to read DVDs properly. even though it does oddly seem to lag at the start when playing DVDs, and the install does stuff up close to the start. | 01:07 |
| daave | thanks all. | 01:07 |
| moxilo_ | update libxml2 now XD | 01:07 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: I'm not terribly proficient in wine, however there may be something you have to do/configure for wine to do its thing. | 01:08 |
| wwpiexec | ok.. i hope there is a fix for this.. I have two sessions, one on tty7 and another on tty9.. I use chvt to switch from one to another.. however... if I am playing music on one.. and switch to another the sound stops.. I think the system disables audio on the other session while gives this session the audio device to use.. can I have it so it doesn't do that?! | 01:08 |

| GodfatherofEire | Could somebody help me. I'm having a /slight/ problem at the moment. The only reason my p key is working is because I've copied it from another window, so I could really use a hand here. I kind of screwed upwith the keybinding | 01:24 |

| KNY | Killer--Tux, it's users on the FTP server | 01:28 |
| jrib | gravemind1: alright, this will give me an excuse to learn about dkms I guess. What does 'dkms status' return? | 01:29 |
| LjL | GodfatherofEire, you said you "screwed up with the keybinding", so perhaps you can tell us what exactly you did | 01:29 |

| KNY | Killer--Tux, are you trying to connect from a windows machine? linux machine? | 01:30 |
| jrib | gravemind1: my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/74099/ . No idea | 01:30 |

| gravemind1 | jrib: is there any way to get debugging info from the hardware manager? That might help find out what's going on. Otherwise, what should I try next | 01:32 |
| jrib | gravemind1: let's see if we can remove the right package so dkms doesn't know anything about nvidia at all. See if removing nvidia-glx-177 does that | 01:32 |
| GodfatherofEire | LjL: I used xbindkeys-config, and I'm not quite sure what I did, but starting with a blank slate would be just fine | 01:32 |

| Naaatan | hey.. I have some extra function keys on my keyboard that Ubuntu doesn't use.. does anyone know how I can assign them ? | 01:33 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: does that mean I have to restart? | 01:33 |
| bazhang | Michael___, not as you envision no. you could !remaster a cd though | 01:33 |
| jrib | gravemind1: see what this returns: aptitude search '~i~nnvidia' | 01:34 |
| spree | BlueEagle, yes, and I explicitly have ALSA picked instead of Pulse for all devices | 01:34 |
| tarelerulz | is there any program for tagging movies ? | 01:34 |
| LjL | GodfatherofEire: ok, knowing you used xbindkeys will definitely help identifying the problem. did you add anything to your ~/.bashrc file? | 01:34 |

| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| GodfatherofEire | I can, but I would rather not do that till I'm sure its fixed | 01:37 |
| LjL | GodfatherofEire, restarting X *is* what will fix it. changes that xbindkeys makes are not permanent. | 01:37 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: done | 01:37 |
| jrib | gravemind1: how is dkms doing? | 01:38 |
| gravemind1 | jrib: it is clear | 01:38 |
| tucuna | which Skype is the best choice in Intrepid? standard, statis or static-osss? | 01:38 |
| GodfatherofEire | LjL, Alrighty then, would ctrl alt backspace do the trick or do I need a full restart? | 01:38 |
| LjL | GodfatherofEire: "sudo apt-get --purge remove xbindkeys", then restart it | 01:38 |
| jrib | gravemind1: k, let's try installing nvidia-glx-177 again | 01:38 |
| LjL | GodfatherofEire: ctrl-alt-backspace will do | 01:38 |

| bazhang | sinuc, install it | 01:46 |
| sinuc | lol | 01:46 |

| r3dux | sammyF - another way to "clean" the src build dir would be to del it and re-extract the src;) | 02:35 |
| DasEI | wend: a usual install takes 2-4 gig for system, then you need space for files (/home) and swap shall be double of ram | 02:36 |

| scunizi | wendy, ok.. then you have a couple of choices.. create a logical volume so you can have more than 4 partitions.. that way you can seperate /home from /root and create a /swap.. otherwise you end up combining /root & /home together and have a seperate /swap.. | 02:38 |

| wendy | 32 | 02:40 |
| ice-nine | wendy: I'd say leave it at 1 gig. With 4 gigs of ram, you won't really need much of a swap at all. | 02:40 |
| Frogzoo | wendy: 32bit = 3.2gig | 02:40 |
| r3dux | Frogzoo, - I thought the .iso format would need some header/meta data or such... will have to give it a whack some time :) | 02:40 |
| musikgoat|main | wendy: if you don't mind not having hybernate, 1GB | 02:40 |
| DasEI | wendy:at such a big ram, consider using 64bit, and, if you don't need to hibernate, swap will be used sparely anyway at that amount | 02:40 |
| Frogzoo | r3dux: you actually mount the iso image as an iso9660 filesystem | 02:41 |
| darkbishop | wendy:32 bit os only will use 3gb ram at most... plus just make 3 gig swap.. tat will solve it.. since it wont be use tat much anyway | 02:41 |
| wendy | wao, so many different points of view | 02:41 |
| ice-nine | lolz... | 02:41 |
| musikgoat|main | heh | 02:41 |
| r3dux | Frogzoo, - Okey-doke, cheers fella. | 02:41 |
| scunizi | Frogzoo, that's an old calculation for wendy .. usually you'll only need 1 gig or less.. more swap can become needed IF you're doing a lot of processing of video or Blender stuff. | 02:41 |

| MadButcher | use wine install.exe | 04:43 |
| freetos00 | dd if=/dev/dvd of=blah.iso bs=1000000 what determines the 1000000 number? | 04:43 |
| MadButcher | in a terminal, wine setup.exe | 04:43 |
| drakeman | DiiPhantom: in my case works with double click | 04:43 |
| usser | mon^rch, yes almost exactly like it, it can use skins from winamp and xmms, and yes there are plugins | 04:43 |

| Shoopuf | Does anyone know how to have different background on each side of the cube? One cube face = one background | 04:59 |

| cak054 | dont know about bugs but this system is working really good 8.10 rocks | 04:59 |
| drakeman | i dont know what to do, i dont thing i have to reinstall my all system to fix that | 04:59 |
| shinoj | yuri_: 8.4 is more stable and with less bug | 05:00 |
| MTecknology | How can I see how much I'm dloading/uploading? | 05:00 |
| cak054 | its not a bug its a feature | 05:00 |

| Sister_Blue | hello how do i format a drive that has fedora on it and load up an ubuntu minimal version ?? | 05:01 |
| MTecknology | shinoj: network usage | 05:01 |
| wos | can anyone tell me how to monitor what is going through my network? | 05:01 |
| raven | wos, if u mean packetwise, try wireshark | 05:01 |
| === grep is now known as grep65535 | ||
| orci | Sister_Blue, do you have ubuntu cdrom? | 05:01 |
| usser | wos, wireshark | 05:01 |
| drakeman | :( | 05:01 |
| pepperjack | wos: wireshark | 05:01 |
| Roasted | My system doesn't pick up my flash drive. Yet my flash drive works on this system in Vista. However, this system in Ubuntu Intrepid 64 bit picks up my external hard drive, mouse, printer, wireless adapter, etc all by usb... but not my flash drive. My flash drive is brand new and worked fine for 3 weeks till two nights ago. lsusb shows nothing about the flash drive. Also - I tried three live CDs, hardy 64, intrepid 32, and intrepid 64. | 05:01 |
| Roasted | All three of those LiveCDs dont pick up my flash drive now either. What gives? | 05:01 |
| Sister_Blue | orci yes | 05:01 |
| wos | raven im not that advanced | 05:02 |
| yuri_ | shinoj: ok. ill stick with it until it is obsoloete | 05:02 |
| shinoj | MTecknology: right click on the panal, click on add to panel, select system monitor | 05:02 |
| LF|KDE | wos download nmap | 05:02 |
| wos | is there something simpler than wireshark | 05:02 |
| conrad_ | hey guys, i need help setting up openssh-server on ubuntu-- first problem is it isn't in the apt-get installer | 05:02 |
| MTecknology | shinoj: command line | 05:02 |
| wos | nmap? | 05:02 |
| MTecknology | wos: h on | 05:02 |
| raven | wos, there's a console tool that just shows speed and number of bytes either way, but i cannot recall its name atm | 05:02 |
| wos | is that in the repositories? | 05:02 |
| orci | wos, check out wireshark | 05:02 |
| raven | nmap is much more difficult than wireshark, wos | 05:02 |
| conrad_ | i can't find ssh anywhere in the repositories | 05:02 |
| MTecknology | raven: that's what I'm looking for the name of :P | 05:02 |
| pepperjack | conrad_: openssh-server is in the base repo | 05:02 |
| wos | wireshark is too advanced for me | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | conrad_: How are you trying to install it? | 05:02 |
| orci | Sister_Blue, just boot from the cdrom and choose defaults | 05:02 |
| shinoj | MTecknology: sorry i dont know. wait for someone who knws it | 05:02 |
| MTecknology | shinoj: lol | 05:02 |
| conrad_ | sudo apt-get install openssh-server doesn't work | 05:03 |
| orci | Sister_Blue, you'll lose everything on your hard drive and get a fresh copy of ubuntu | 05:03 |
| raven | MTecknology, i was just using it to test network speed by piping zeroes like two weeks ago... | 05:03 |
| MTecknology | there | 05:03 |
| MTecknology | netstat -i -c can do what we want | 05:03 |
| Sister_Blue | orci when i tried to boot from the cdrom the cd did not respond instead the fedora system started up ?? | 05:03 |
| MTecknology | not pretty though | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | conrad_: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, make sure you haven't disabled main | 05:03 |
| wos | i just installed a bootleg version of windows vista 64 and want to see if theres some kind of malware clogging up my internet connection. does anyone know how to do this? | 05:03 |
| raven | yeah but tht's really ghetto, MTecknology, there's a pretty program for it | 05:03 |
| EMPulse | # security | 05:03 |
| conrad_ | oh wow... okay, after running updates it finds it.. | 05:04 |
| orci | wos, you ahve to admit that the topic you are interested in is an advanced topic | 05:04 |
| conrad_ | nevermind, sorry to bother! | 05:04 |
| n8tuser | m3lawren-> try and see if udevinfo -q all -n sdX X being your lvm | 05:04 |
| wos | orci not really, i just want to see if some program is using my bandwidth | 05:04 |
| orci | Sister_Blue, your system bios has to be adjusted to boot from cdrom, currently no matter what it boots from the hard drive | 05:04 |
| EMPulse | !say ##ubuntu hello | 05:04 |

| usser | wos, thats what u use wireshark for | 05:05 |
| orci | wos, I am not aware of any other software sorry | 05:05 |
| Sister_Blue | orci i have changed that setting in bios already | 05:05 |
| conrad_ | I have a question about SSH-- can I set it up so I have a different (very long) password for my ssh access but keep a short admin password for sudo functions? | 05:05 |
| wos | would anyone be so kind to assist me in private using wireshark? | 05:05 |
| MTecknology | wos: I'm looking for the exact same thing. I'll let you know if I find it | 05:05 |
| usser | wos, or firestarter lets u see whats connected to and from your computer | 05:05 |
| Roasted | can anybody help me figure out what is wrong with my system recognizing my flash drive? I know my flash drive works... yet ubuntu wont recognize it | 05:05 |
| usser | wos, but its not as detailed\ | 05:05 |
| tieTYT2 | you can put ubuntu on laptops right? | 05:05 |
| raven | im on one right now, tietyt2 | 05:05 |
| pepperjack | tieTYT2: yep | 05:05 |
| pdah | @Roasted : tried to force mount yet ? | 05:05 |
| Jordan_U | conrad_: You can use a private key for ssh rather than ( or in addition to ) a password | 05:05 |
| wos | usser could you help me with wireshark? just for a bit | 05:06 |
| n8tuser | wos-> kindly visit #networking for that kind of request | 05:06 |
| Roasted | pdah - gparted does not pick up my flash drive, nor does sudo fdisk -l... otherwise I'd try to force mount it. | 05:06 |
| pepperjack | tieTYT2: if you're wondering how it will go for yours do a search for the laptop model on ubuntuforums.org | 05:06 |
| tieTYT2 | is there a list of computers I can buy that will install ubuntu to without any issues? | 05:06 |
| usser | wos, im going to sleep sorry | 05:06 |
| ddgoose | raven, try to get microsoft reader to work under wine on intrepid, it would be technical but maybe not so much fun | 05:06 |
| tieTYT2 | i'm thinking of buying a laptop | 05:06 |
| conrad_ | Jordan_U: that is, accept access from only specific ip addresses? | 05:06 |

| bicchi | Where can i find the packages that are been considered for upgrade? Like the pre-release updates. | 05:06 |
| m3lawren | n8tuser: Just to clarify, I already have logical volumes set up and working fine on this LVM volume group, I just created a new logical volume on the same volume group, formatted it, and it doesn't show up. | 05:06 |
| wartalker | when i restart, one daemon warn me to enter password, how i solve it | 05:07 |
| pepperjack | tieTYT2: some laptops come preinstalled with ubuntu also. there are some nice smaller companies and of course dell | 05:07 |
| ddgoose | drakeman, maybe try wiping out your .aticonfig directory and starting over? | 05:07 |

| drakeman | thanks | 05:07 |
| Roasted | pdah - any other ideas? | 05:07 |
| m3lawren | n8tuser: Sorry, the new logical volume does now show up in /dev/disk/by-uuid for some reason. | 05:08 |

| raven | sargento: alt+f2? | 05:09 |
| n8tuser | m3lawren-> i guess it does take a while to create the table entries for your LVM | 05:09 |

| fus10nx | Is there a way to automate alsamixer so it mutes at certain times? | 05:10 |
| sligocki | can someone help me troubleshoot a sound issue. | 05:10 |
| sligocki | new install of 8.10 on a gateway, but no audio. | 05:10 |
| sligocki | tried alsamixer settings (worked on earlier installs). Any ideas? | 05:10 |
| Shadoukun | Whenever I mute my mic in 'Playback' it also mutes in 'Recording'. How do I make it stop doing that? :P | 05:10 |
| tieTYT2 | pepperjack: does a Intel GMA 4500M fall under that category? | 05:10 |
| ddgoose | fus10nx, what do you mean at certain times? | 05:10 |
| n8tuser | fus10nx-> use of cron to shut it perhaps? | 05:10 |
| maxagaz | I begin to ate ubuntu... pidgin quit short after I lauch it, firefox doesn't open my bookmark anymore, nor my modules... | 05:10 |
| m3lawren | n8tuser: Apparently. It was just surprising that other locations such as /dev/disk/by-id were updated quickly while /dev/disk/by-uuid took its time. Either way, it works now, so I'm happy. :) | 05:10 |
| pepperjack | tieTYT2: yeah | 05:10 |
| tieTYT2 | so if it has intel in the name of the graphics card, i'm safe? | 05:10 |
| pepperjack | tieTYT2: honestly nvidia has best drivers atm | 05:11 |
| tieTYT2 | or is it more complicate than that? | 05:11 |
| tieTYT2 | oh | 05:11 |
| pepperjack | tieTYT2: but intel is a safe bet | 05:11 |
| jimmy_ | yo | 05:11 |

| raven | and play my movies and shows with VLC | 05:17 |
| raven | :p | 05:17 |
| Shadoukun | When I mute my mic in the "Playback' tab of the volume controls, it also mutes in the 'Recording' tab. How do I fix it? | 05:17 |
| viridian | .com | 05:18 |
| raven | wow, shameless ad | 05:18 |
| raven | :/ | 05:18 |
| tritium | raven: your laptop supports HDMI audio? If so, which make/model? | 05:18 |
| raven | no audio, just video | 05:18 |
| raven | u need an nvidia 9 series or above for tht | 05:18 |
| pepperjack | Shadoukun: you can do it in alsamixer instead use the f* keys to go between playback and capture | 05:18 |
| raven | or a radeon 48xx | 05:18 |
| raven | tritium chek out the newer vers of my series, gateway fx | 05:18 |
| jimmy_ | hi | 05:18 |
| raven | gf9 series ones shud do it | 05:19 |

| raven | newer video cards have built-in sound cards | 05:19 |

| drakeman | ddgoose: any idea? | 05:20 |
| fus10nx | Can anyone point me in the right direction for logging each time mplayer plays a file? | 05:20 |
| HIV_3ala2 | but it doesnt boot right with the new ubuntu | 05:20 |
| fus10nx | i've bene trying to solve the problem for a while now | 05:20 |
| gigel2006 | How is it possible that my built in ath9k card for my laptop only detects connections with 150PWR and above. I never seen it detect one with a power lower than 150. Any ideas ? | 05:21 |
| Shadoukun | What do you mean use the function keys? >< Pardon my ignorance. | 05:21 |
| raven | fus10nx, its aa bit of a ghetto solution, but if Last.FM supports mplayer and ur talkin bout music.. | 05:22 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven:what ubuntu u have?\ | 05:22 |
| raven | HIV_3ala2, 8.10 ofc | 05:22 |
| raven | i stay w/ the times | 05:22 |
| fus10nx | Raven: what do u mean? | 05:22 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven:did it boot right with nvidia? | 05:22 |
| fus10nx | I just have a playlist with x amount of movie clips that loop for 18 hours a day. I want to log each time a movie is played so I can gereneate reports | 05:22 |
| raven | fus10nx, last.fm scrobbles music u listen to to their website, and if ur playing music in mplayer, and last.fm supports mplayer, u cud pull logs from their site that way | 05:22 |
| raven | HIV_3ala2, yes | 05:22 |
| fus10nx | and say, OK, 1.mpg has play x amount of times and at these times | 05:23 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven:I mean on installation | 05:23 |
| raven | yes | 05:23 |
| fus10nx | oh ha ha i think that's way more than I want to do | 05:23 |
| raven | it showed proper res and everything | 05:23 |
| raven | then i installed the nvidia drivers and still fine | 05:23 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven:why not mine? | 05:23 |
| raven | what gf u got | 05:23 |
| fus10nx | I just figured I could watch the folder in which my files are contained and see when they are accessed | 05:23 |
| raven | i 8800m | 05:23 |
| mau | hii | 05:23 |
| mau | hii | 05:23 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven:I have 7300gs | 05:23 |

| raven | i shunned nvidia everything after gf4 until gf8 | 05:24 |
| raven | so i dunno | 05:24 |
| === mewshi_ is now known as mewshi | ||
| raven | have u tried installing the official drivers | 05:24 |
| raven | ? | 05:24 |
| Arenlor | Hello all, I can't seem to connect to my wireless network, though wired is fine, it has a wep key and even though I enter that it doesn't connect. http://pastebin.com/d222e2c15 is my syslog of it. | 05:24 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: not yet | 05:24 |
| raven | Arenlor, try wicd - fixed that for me | 05:24 |
| raven | Arenlor, google it, install the deb, be happy | 05:24 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: It boot with the vesa settings | 05:24 |
| raven | HIV_3ala2, so try that | 05:25 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: but what about after installation? | 05:25 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: just download driver pack,,,it will be fix? | 05:25 |
| * V1psta is away: I'm busy | 05:25 | |
| wbmj | Arenlor: are you trying to connect wireless with wired connected? | 05:25 |
| tritium | V1psta: please disable that | 05:26 |
| raven | HIV_3ala2, goto nvidia.com, download drivers for linux x86 autodetect, then run the script in a console (with X shut down) | 05:26 |
| raven | if it complains and u cant get X to shut own | 05:26 |
| raven | just type startx | 05:26 |
| sargento | raven, do you know if it is normal that my ubuntu sometimes "pause" when I use Amarok + Amsn + Mozilla?? | 05:26 |
| raven | and the file it mentions | 05:26 |
| raven | delete it | 05:26 |
| pepperjack | Arenlor: try something like sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "routername" key 2131231283123;dhclient ath0 | 05:26 |
| Arenlor | wbmj that syslog has that yes, but it doesn't work either way | 05:26 |
| * V1psta is back (gone 00:00:01) | 05:26 | |
| raven | sargento: no idea. | 05:26 |
| tritium | HIV_3ala2, raven: note that we odn't recommend or support nvidia.com downloads. There are ubuntu-packaged nvidia drivers. | 05:26 |
| tritium | s/odn't/don't | 05:26 |
| raven | tritium: well, i do recommend them | 05:26 |
| V1psta | thats why it did it | 05:26 |
| raven | the ubuntu-packaged ones don't give full functionalityt | 05:27 |
| wbmj | Arlenor: did you disconnect the wired then logout/in | 05:27 |
| raven | and i'm volunteer support | 05:27 |
| raven | :p | 05:27 |

| Arenlor | wbmj yes I did | 05:27 |
| raven | tritium, bad habit. | 05:27 |
| HIV_3ala2 | tritium: coz I got nvidia and I need vesa to install | 05:28 |
| tritium | HIV_3ala2: do as you please, but note that you'll get less support here with nvidia.com downloads | 05:28 |
| HIV_3ala2 | tritium: okay np | 05:28 |
| raven | HIV_3ala2, i use them, they work, but do what ya want mate | 05:28 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: but one more check | 05:28 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: If I have used vesa settings to install ubuntu | 05:29 |
| raven | the nvidia drivers edit ur xorg.conf and back it up | 05:29 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: then after installation,,,,,should the pack do the rest? | 05:29 |
| raven | so it'll set it up for u, then if it doesnt work, u can just restore it | 05:29 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: should I edit xorg? | 05:29 |
| raven | it will edit it for u | 05:29 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: I feel it hard | 05:29 |
| raven | no idea what u mean HIV_3ala2 | 05:30 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: I mean xorg editing needs correct steps | 05:30 |
| raven | the drivers come in a shell script, and the shell script edits xorg for u | 05:30 |
| HIV_3ala2 | raven: i am a noob on ubuntu | 05:30 |
| pepperjack | HIV_3ala2: the big part of nvidia install is not editing xorg. that is fairly easy | 05:31 |
| HIV_3ala2 | ok | 05:31 |
| pepperjack | besides the packages to all that for you | 05:31 |
| user__ | hello | 05:31 |

| Rave1_ | Hi all I am in the process of setting partionsfor a new install I have 4GB Ram in that box do I really need a swap partion | 05:36 |
| raven | no | 05:36 |
| tritium | Rave1_: do you intend to hibernate? | 05:37 |
| sunapi386 | LOL wtf is this guy doing http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2008/11/funniest_video_ever.php | 05:37 |
| raven | Rave1_, u only need swap if <1GB | 05:37 |
| raven | imo | 05:37 |
| tritium | sug1: stay on topic | 05:37 |
| raven | sunapi386, ** | 05:37 |
| tritium | Rave1_: you need swap > RAM in order to suspend to disk | 05:37 |
| Rave1_ | tritium probly no | 05:37 |
| sug1 | tritium: me? | 05:38 |
| tritium | sug1: no, sorry. That was intended for sunapi386. | 05:38 |
| sunapi386 | ;p | 05:38 |
| Rave1_ | OK thanks first time I have had over 1 gb to use | 05:39 |
| raven | i run 2 and 3GB systems | 05:39 |
| raven | and they run flawlessly with no swap | 05:39 |
| tritium | Rave1_: if it were a laptop, you'd probably want swap so you could hibernate it. | 05:40 |
| ccfreak2k | Rave1_, if you run out of physical RAM, you'd need the swap space; otherwise, the kernel would start killing processes until there's some free memory. | 05:40 |
| Rave1_ | just bought this computer played with visa 5min and started to install ubuntu | 05:40 |
| Rave1_ | it is a desktop | 05:41 |

After installing Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 firefox connected to the internet via my ADSL router modem, after I installed VBox and configured Host Interfaces for guest OS XP, Ubuntu doesn't see the internet, however, my VBox Windows XP guest surfs ok.

| DiiPhantom | lol | 05:59 |
| pepperjack | Elda: im not ashamed to be emo | 05:59 |

| tritium | gradin: looks like your linux-restricted-modules didn't configure. Please run "sudo dpkg --configure --pending" | 06:03 |
| raven | gradin, reinstall graphics drivers or re-edit xorg.conf, then reinstall wifi driver | 06:03 |
| DiiPhantom | instead of default 4? | 06:03 |
| DiiPhantom | 4 is the option i want | 06:03 |
| sgraham | alot of things support the idea that the users get removed from the audio group. but..well i dont see an audio group on this box... | 06:03 |

| DiiPhantom | what you are saying doesnt make sense to me | 06:04 |

| gradin | tritium: http://pastebin.ca/1261165 | 06:05 |

| DiiPhantom | omg | 06:06 |
| pepperjack | sgraham: that would be difficult | 06:06 |
| tritium | DiiPhantom: focus on lines 5 and 6 | 06:06 |
| DiiPhantom | i dont get it.... i can put saved but then how does it know that #4 is my saved? | 06:07 |
| tritium | sgraham: the audio group would be listed in /etc/group | 06:08 |
| transporter | guys any one used gnome here | 06:08 |
| sgraham | well yess i can create a groupe but i really dont....hold on | 06:08 |

| Lunks | Can I run a program with a different GTK theme? | 06:08 |
| Lunks | I'd like to run just OO applications with the default Human theme | 06:08 |

| raven | sgraham, try alsa instead of esound? | 06:10 |
| raven | sgraham, ru sure its not the driver? | 06:10 |
| sgraham | raven i have no idea what the problem is. This machine i got with ubuntu preinstalled. so as far has how to troubleshoot the problem...im just lost. | 06:11 |
| user__ | why doesn't it play continuously whn i play a youtube video in firefox? | 06:11 |
| tritium | sgraham: start here: | 06:11 |
| tritium | !sound | 06:11 |
| 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).

Please give me a pointer to solve this problem. | 06:17 |
| sgraham | this thing is pretty picky, allot of the pacages for the hardware come from repos at dell. | 06:18 |

| raven | hehe | 06:18 |
| sgraham | sooo...im leary of upgrading it to an unsupported version and 810 at this point 810 is unsupported by them. | 06:19 |
| raven | but u cud just as easily add those repos to a newer v. of ubuntu | 06:19 |
| raven | sgraham, thats up to u mate, do what u think is best | 06:19 |
| raven | im just throwing my 2 cents in | 06:19 |
| gradin | tritium: so... | 06:19 |
| tritium | gradin: I'm out of ideas. Looks like update-grub is what's failing, preventing one of the packages from being configured properly | 06:20 |

| sgraham | Im allot more comfortable with the straight up debian distro. I know how to compile mods and stuff using module-assisant this buntu stuff just confusses me alot. | 06:21 |

| Cpudan80 | Anyone know why mouse keys get reenabled every time I reboot? | 06:22 |
| tritium | sgraham: ubuntu also has module-assistant | 06:22 |
| raven | versatilis, there may be a better fix for u, but u cud goto a onsole and use alsamixer to turn down the speaker or headphone depending on wut ur using (or right click the volume nd open volume control for gui) | 06:22 |

| * gradin crys cuz hes gonna have to recompile the 802.11eee network stack again for the usb wireless | 06:27 | |
| transporter | can someone tell me the basics of gnome plz | 06:27 |
| raven | sgraham: dmesg | tail | 06:27 |
| versatilis | raven, will compiling the newest alsa drivers solve the problem? Or should I ask in some other channel? | 06:28 |
| gradin | transporter: point and click | 06:28 |
| transporter | nice advice | 06:28 |
| transporter | but | 06:28 |
| raven | versatilis, someone else here may well b able to help u, but i cant | 06:28 |
| transporter | i mean application themes | 06:28 |
| transporter | changing the borders and the look how do i do it | 06:28 |
| onats | !landscape | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about landscape | 06:29 |
| transporter | and how to i tell that gnome is already installed on my sys | 06:29 |
| raven | u can change the rest with super+n, transporter xD | 06:29 |
| transporter | how do i download themes for my sys' | 06:29 |
| versatilis | raven, I asked in ubuntu forums but I got no answer. | 06:29 |
| raven | transporter, gnome-look.org | 06:29 |
| transporter | super+n???? | 06:29 |
| raven | it was a joke, but yeah | 06:29 |
| tritium | gradin: very odd. I have 8.04 on my laptop. No recent kernel updates, and no problems with the last kernel update. | 06:29 |
| raven | windows key + n | 06:29 |
| transporter | oh | 06:29 |
| raven | ;p | 06:29 |
| sgraham | raven the last errors say nothing but i here is the snd card info i think you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/74179/ | 06:29 |
| blue_ | please tell me why firefox no longer will load. It opens in the task bar and then quits. I had a similar problem with skype after i installed uim. | 06:29 |
| transporter | yes i have registered in for gnome-look.org | 06:30 |
| transporter | just click download that's it | 06:30 |
| sgraham | the point is...come on its broke. and they said because someone upgraded to 810 and it fixed it there closeing the ticket? | 06:30 |
| gradin | tritium: what arch? | 06:30 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 06:30 |
| tritium | gradin: i386 | 06:30 |
| gradin | tritium: i'm amd64 | 06:30 |
| raven | sgraham, i strongly suggest u at least replace ur sound drivers, as these seem to suck, but i still say upgrade to 8.10 | 06:30 |
| tritium | gradin: have you looked to see if there is a bug filed against it? | 06:31 |
| sgraham | replace them with what? | 06:31 |
| gradin | tritium: yeah i couldn't find anything | 06:31 |
| tritium | sgraham: did you try the advice on the wiki page I provided you? | 06:31 |
| gradin | tritium: and even then it takes 6 months to get a reply on a bug filed... | 06:31 |
| sgraham | i believe so. what was it again? | 06:32 |
| tritium | !sound | sgraham | 06:32 |
| ubottu | sgraham: 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 | 06:32 |

| clinthexa | good nitetritium | 06:32 |
| aLeSD | mmm | 06:32 |
| paijo13 | is there any bash script to shutdown ubuntu when network is down? | 06:32 |
| raven | clinthexa, i has used bsd | 06:32 |
| clinthexa | thank god raven :) | 06:32 |
| versatilis | alright, ciao! | 06:33 |
| gradin | reinstall time... sometimes i really hate linux... :( | 06:33 |
| lvzimmer | tritium: do you use gnome or kde? | 06:33 |
| raven | clinthexa, i used freebsd, and OSX which is based on BSD | 06:33 |
| === Mustinet is now known as Guest45083 | ||
| tritium | lvzimmer: gnome | 06:33 |
| aLeSD | how could I set that automount allow the read to all the user of the system when it mounts a usbdrive ? | 06:33 |
| clinthexa | i ve just installed 7.0 on this very old laptop raven | 06:33 |
| Guest45083 | treilaninhehehe | 06:33 |
| tritium | clinthexa: good night | 06:33 |
| clinthexa | same to you tritium | 06:34 |
| raven | clinthexa, there IS a ##bsd u know, and probably a #bsd | 06:34 |
| raven | er | 06:34 |
| raven | #freebsd* | 06:34 |
| clinthexa | yeah i did go ther raven and no one is saying anything | 06:34 |
| tritium | Good night, gradin. | 06:34 |
| lvzimmer | tritium: do you see the title and the buttons on the top of you windows? | 06:34 |
| clinthexa | i have ubuntu running on other desktop also | 06:34 |
| raven | that is the way of the bsd ppl lol | 06:34 |
| clinthexa | lol | 06:34 |
| clinthexa | yeah its freaking weird | 06:34 |
| raven | :p | 06:34 |
| tritium | lvzimmer: yes, and good night | 06:35 |
| gradin | tritium: nini | 06:35 |
| raven | i liked bsd, but it's program availability is dwarfed by linux | 06:35 |
| paijo13 | is there any bash script to shutdown ubuntu when network is down? | 06:35 |
| clinthexa | i tried installing ubuntu on this laptop | 06:35 |
| raven | and its wine support comparatively blows | 06:35 |
| clinthexa | yeah i agree with with you Raven | 06:35 |
| ccfreak2k | raven, is ELF emulation not enough? | 06:35 |
| clinthexa | i just find out that ubuntu has an os for mini laptop | 06:35 |
| sgraham | Im now at the point were it wants me to install alsa drivers manually | 06:35 |
| raven | ccfreak2k, its nice, but no, it isnt :p | 06:36 |
| lvzimmer | tritium: good night | 06:36 |
| clinthexa | brb ... raven | 06:36 |
| ccfreak2k | I've never actually used it, but I had heard that it works very well. | 06:36 |
| raven | for ordinary apps | 06:36 |
| raven | but say, for example, hamachi | 06:36 |
| raven | doesnt work. | 06:36 |
| ccfreak2k | So it would probably be better to say, "some programs work in Linux but not in BSD." | 06:37 |
| Guest45083 | teamwiever or etc. for ubuntu ? | 06:37 |
| Conexion | Can anybody recommend a good program for editing HTML, CSS, and PHP in Ubuntu? | 06:37 |
| raven | ccfreak2k, better than how i put it? opinions opinions.. | 06:37 |
| seronis | Conexion: gedit | 06:37 |
| raven | brb. | 06:37 |
| ccfreak2k | I'd say so. | 06:37 |
| Conexion | seronis: Thanks :) | 06:37 |
| Conexion | Ha, oh would you look at that... Didn't even see that one | 06:38 |
| nickrud | Conexion, or bluefish, my favorite | 06:39 |
| Conexion | What advantages does bluefish have? | 06:39 |
| nickrud | it's an html editor, tags, etc. gedit is good for syntax highlighting | 06:40 |
| prathibha | I am trying speech-dispatcher. When I run "spd-say hello" it is silent. Its not displaying any error message. | 06:40 |
| Conexion | Ah, cool. I'll try both :) | 06:40 |
| ccfreak2k | Syntax highlighting is a nice thing to have, | 06:40 |
| Conexion | Thanks | 06:40 |
| Conexion | True | 06:40 |
| nickrud | heh. at the minimum | 06:41 |
| Conexion | Magnify + Rotate Cube looks funny :P | 06:41 |
| nickrud | of course, for all of it including php eclipse is pretty nice: if your machine is reasonably powerful thatis | 06:42 |
| sgraham | I think i found the cure | 06:42 |
| sgraham | but this is lame.. | 06:42 |
| sgraham | http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Or_Kernel_Upgrade | 06:42 |
| ccfreak2k | sgraham, that problem plagues a lot of laptops with Conexant modems I think. | 06:43 |
| ccfreak2k | Or Intel sound or something. | 06:43 |
| ccfreak2k | It's a specific problem. | 06:43 |
| fus10nx | if I run tzselect and select my time zone then ntpdate it still defaults to East Coast AMerican time | 06:43 |
| fus10nx | any ideas? | 06:43 |
| prathibha | I am trying speech-dispatcher. When I run "spd-say hello" it is silent. Its not displaying any error message. | 06:43 |
| nickrud | fus10nx, try using the clock application to set it. right click the date/clock | 06:44 |
| OpenPsycho | i dont see my splash screen at boot..if i try usplash my screen goes blank | 06:44 |
| raven | fus10nx, u hav to tell it a diff time server i think.. i THINK... | 06:44 |
| fus10nx | nevermind | 06:44 |
| fus10nx | dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 06:44 |
| fus10nx | that did it | 06:44 |
| OpenPsycho | alt+ctrl+del doesnt seem to work then as well all i see is a blank screen | 06:44 |
| Conexion | Did you try ctrl + alt + backspace ? | 06:45 |
| Cann0n | how do i get linux on ubuntu? | 06:45 |
| * raven hugs Cann0n | 06:45 | |
| raven | it will be ok | 06:45 |
| darkbishop | ubuntu is linux | 06:45 |
| thiebaude | Cann0n: ubuntu is linux | 06:45 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: do u mean text base? | 06:45 |
| hellotyler | is there some kind of ubuntu newbie chat I could go to ? | 06:45 |
| Cann0n | them what is fadora | 06:45 |
| nickrud | OpenPsycho, try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst , and removing the word splash from the line # defoptions=quiet splash , then run sudo update-grub . That will remove all splash. | 06:46 |
| raven | Cann0n, it is also linux | 06:46 |
| thiebaude | Cann0n: fedora | 06:46 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: is linux tooo.. diffrent distributer. | 06:46 |
| nickrud | hellotyler, this is the place ;) | 06:46 |
| Cann0n | i dont get it | 06:46 |
| raven | Cann0n, give it time :p | 06:46 |
| Cann0n | oh | 06:46 |
| JyZyXEL | where do you turn off the use of state decorations for tasks in gnome-panel? | 06:46 |
| rusty | whats up | 06:46 |
| nickrud | Cann0n, GNU/linux is the combination of the linux kernel and all the other software; each distro uses linux and a selection of gnu (and other) software | 06:47 |
| thiebaude | not much,rusty | 06:47 |
| Cann0n | ok so what is a kernal | 06:47 |
| === rusty is now known as Guest50978 | ||
| darkbishop | cann0n: for example.. if linux is windows... then fedora and ubuntu is like win2k server and winXP.. something like tat | 06:47 |
| Guest50978 | i have a noob question | 06:47 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, that will remove all the splashes but i want to see splash screen | 06:47 |
| hellotyler | i'm virtualizing ubuntu, it seems like a nice OS so far | 06:47 |
| OpenPsycho | what i see at my boot is init image not found bla bla bla | 06:47 |
| Conexion | What's up Guest50978? | 06:47 |
| nickrud | Cann0n, the chuck of software that makes the hardware work, and provides the basic infrastructure for other apps to run nicely together | 06:47 |
| Cann0n | darkbishop, so linux and windows are the same??? | 06:48 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: no | 06:48 |
| Guest50978 | my friend just installed ubuntu, he is at the login screen and he doesnt have a clue what to enter for a username or password | 06:48 |
| raven | LOL | 06:48 |
| nickrud | OpenPsycho, what video card are you using? | 06:48 |
| thiebaude | Cann0n: no way | 06:48 |
| * raven gives Cann0n a sleeping pill | 06:48 | |
| Cann0n | darkbishop, then why you say it is | 06:48 |
| * raven points toward the corner | 06:48 | |
| OpenPsycho | Intel | 06:48 |
| thiebaude | lol | 06:48 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, its intel | 06:48 |
| nickrud | OpenPsycho, init image not found: you mean you don't boot? Or what, I thought you said you at least booted into the gui | 06:49 |
| Conexion | Guest50978: When he installed it, he entered in a user name and password, does he not remember it? | 06:49 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: i said IF linux is windows... | 06:49 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, ok let me explain | 06:49 |
| Guest50978 | nope | 06:49 |
| Guest50978 | he doesnt remember | 06:49 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, when i boot my box...i dont see any thing just the blank screen and after a while the login screen shows up | 06:49 |
| nickrud | ah. | 06:49 |
| Cann0n | darkbishop, you are confusing | 06:49 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, i know that i should be seeing the splash screen the ubuntu logo where we see the animated processing scecnes | 06:50 |
| Guest50978 | Conexion: he doesnt remember | 06:50 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, if you are getting me | 06:50 |
| nickrud | by login, you mean the graphical login screen | 06:50 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: easy to say its.... ubuntu redhat slackware is all linux.. its the same product but been manufature by difrent company.... now u understand? | 06:50 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, yes | 06:50 |
| Guest50978 | yes gui login | 06:50 |
| Conexion | Guest50978: does he even remember the password without the username? | 06:50 |
| Cann0n | i think | 06:50 |
| Guest50978 | conexion nope | 06:50 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, and if i press alt+ctrl+f1 while i dont see anything in the screen...............it than says something regarding k-init or smth | 06:50 |
| Conexion | Hmmm | 06:50 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: finally.... | 06:51 |
| Guest50978 | conexion: is there a default or guest login? | 06:51 |
| nickrud | OpenPsycho, if you do the ctl-alt-f2, what do you see? And after hitting enter? | 06:51 |
| Conexion | Guest50978: He may just need to either run the live CD again and figure out what his info was, or reformat | 06:51 |
| hacked_kernel | I need Ext3 file recovery software? | 06:51 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: dont have anyother question? | 06:51 |

| Conexion | Anybody else know if you can recover login data? | 06:51 |
| nickrud | hacked_kernel, there is, sadly, no such animal | 06:51 |
| Cann0n | so how do i know if i use red hat or slackware | 06:52 |
| Conexion | if you installed and don't know what your stuff is | 06:52 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, same thing | 06:52 |
| OpenPsycho | nickrud, wait :D it seems i dont have the splash image :) lolz | 06:52 |
| nickrud | OpenPsycho, blanks screen? | 06:52 |
| Guest50978 | conexion: i told him about ubuntu and he goes and installs it in 2 hours lol | 06:52 |
| nickrud | or a login prompt? | 06:52 |
| hacked_kernel | nickrud, why there is no software for this? | 06:52 |

| Guest50978 | lol | 06:53 |
| Cann0n | darkbishop, what linux is better | 06:53 |
| supergear | Windows | 06:53 |
| pyro_ | it totally depends on your application cann0n | 06:53 |

| Guest93422 | how to get gtk for gipms? | 06:53 |
| Guest50978 | i like mandriva and ubuntu... user friendly =) | 06:53 |
| nickrud | hacked_kernel, good question. Undelete for ext3 simply doesn't get done. I'm not a file system programmer, so I don't know the exact reason, except I'm told it has something to do with the journaling. If you ask in #linux, you may get a better answer | 06:53 |
| Conexion | Yeah, he may just want to reinstall and write his name and password down, xD I have heard of other ways, but I personally am not sure | 06:54 |
| hacked_kernel | nickrud, thanks | 06:54 |

| Cann0n | i want a easy linux | 06:55 |
| supergear | Cann0n, try Slackware | 06:55 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: depand on what u use for.some like to use ubuntu cos its widelly support and its easy... other admin like to use slackware cos its anoying... and hard to figure out | 06:55 |
| pyro_ | Cann0n To be quite frank Ubuntu would be the easy linux | 06:56 |
| darkbishop | supergear:oh...my bad | 06:56 |
| hellotyler | where can I find shared folders? such as one from a virtualization ? | 06:56 |
| darkbishop | pyro:totally right.... | 06:56 |
| Cann0n | supergear, is slackware better? | 06:56 |
| hellotyler | trying to add my music library to amarok | 06:56 |
| supergear | Cann0n, of course Slackware i better | 06:57 |
| pyro_ | this is if you are using it as a desktop or simply as a spring board into learning about Linux | 06:57 |
| supergear | it runs better and less bloat | 06:57 |
| nickrud | hellotyler, which virtualization? | 06:57 |
| hellotyler | VMWare | 06:57 |
| darkbishop | Cann0n: if you just learn linux.ubuntu would be the best choise... since slackware would take a lot of work just to set up startX... | 06:57 |
| hellotyler | i am running ubuntu on os x | 06:58 |
| Cann0n | startx? | 06:58 |
| thiebaude | !startx | 06:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about startx | 06:58 |
| darkbishop | cann0n: startX is a gui mode... | 06:58 |
| supergear | It doesn't take much work to get X working on slackware | 06:58 |

| fictivetoast | Hey guys - URGENT QUESTION : can I delete my system log files immediately to free space? They've ballooned to 7+ gigs, and I have 0% free left in my root directory, so I'm starting to run into trouble opening/writing to permission files and am afraid that if I reboot the system without any free space I won't be able to get into GDE... details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6208971 | 07:01 |
| Wyld` | Anyone able to point me in a few areas? | 07:01 |
| hellotyler | nothing there unfortunately, nick | 07:01 |
| gigel2006 | Does anyone know a good site to get a shell for IRSSI in ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| nickrud | fictivetoast, sure, you can delete all the compressed ones, no problem | 07:01 |
| supergear | a good shell? | 07:01 |
| nickrud | hellotyler, then maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811046 will have your answer | 07:01 |
| gigel2006 | supergear: shell account | 07:01 |
| hellotyler | found it though | 07:02 |
| nickrud | hellotyler, where? In /media ? | 07:02 |
| supergear | a shell that runs ubuntu i guess you are meaning | 07:02 |
| hellotyler | i found it in vmware help document, it shows up in /mnt/ghfs/ | 07:02 |
| gigel2006 | supergear: a free shell account so my ip won't show in whois when I use IRSSi | 07:02 |
| nickrud | hellotyler, ah, must be a different version then | 07:03 |
| fictivetoast | nick - dumping the compressed ones gives me about 150mb of buffer room, but I've got three 2+ GB txt files that will probably quickly expand to eat that space... is it safe to go ahead and trash those too, assuming that whatever error is filling the log will be reproducable? | 07:03 |
| hellotyler | now amarok is loading my music, hopefully it doesn't freeze now that I set it to ansi | 07:03 |
| Wyld` | fictivetoast, i would remove of offload the archived logs, and then fix whats causing the log blowout | 07:03 |

| koops | hello, i have a problem with skype, ive configure gstreamer and i have no problem with audio and video on any other application but skype, the light on the web cam is on, but cant see the image, any ideas? | 07:05 |
| nickrud | Wyld`, please don't suggest that one, sudo -i (ubuntu policy) | 07:05 |
| Wyld` | ahh kk, roger that | 07:06 |
| fictivetoast | errr.... nevermind, I'm getting a "command not found" when I sudo /etc/cron/cron.daily/syslogd | 07:06 |
| nickrud | /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd <-- fictivetoast (typo) | 07:06 |

| fus10nx | this is my crontab -- 7 2 * * * /wg/scripts/stop_mplayer.bsh | 07:07 |
| fus10nx | and my stop_mplayer.bsh just says: | 07:07 |
| fus10nx | #!/bin/sh | 07:07 |
| fus10nx | then /usr/bin/pkill mplayer | 07:07 |
| fus10nx | any idea why that wouldn't work? | 07:08 |

| fictivetoast | Wyld - I'd like to, but I want to free up at least a bit of space on the disk for functionality before i get to work seeing what's up... viewing the files with nano or gedit is yielding a blank terminal or window respectively... | 07:11 |

| fictivetoast | Nope, it just sits idly after starting a new line with N (as in N-ovember...) - there isn't any space left on the disk, so it probably ran out of room to keep writing | 07:16 |

| sgraham | that fixed it. | 07:16 |
| Wyld` | After_Math, yeah it's a problem with the way MS handles the master boot loader | 07:16 |
| darkbishop | After_Math: maybe u should use winXP rather then vista.... | 07:17 |
| After_Math | Wyld`, thank god, someone who knows something about something | 07:17 |
| sgraham | but i got to tell ya, you cant remove the pulse audio from this machine, it hoses the desktop compleatly. as soon as it gets to loading the pannel aplets that have anything to do with sound, it locks up the entire desktop. | 07:17 |
| After_Math | darkbishop, I would, but after it starts to read the xp cd on a reboot, i get a black screen and nothing else | 07:17 |
| Wyld` | fictivetoast, hmm I'm not sure sorry mate .. I'd really be looking at removing or turning down whatever is causing all that chatter | 07:17 |
| After_Math | Wyld`, what solutions are there, if you know of any? | 07:18 |
| sgraham | night boys and girls | 07:18 |
| Wyld` | After_Math, so you have ubuntu installed, then you installed vista, yeah? | 07:18 |
| Wyld` | After_Math, on another parition/drive | 07:18 |
| gigel2006 | what does this mean and how can I use it in ubuntu "use SSH to "xxxx.xxx.xx" with the username as "register" and the password as "user"" | 07:18 |
| After_Math | Wyld`, well I am trying to install Vista now, I have Ubuntu installed already | 07:18 |
| fictivetoast | Yar... well for now, it looks like the log files will continue to flood, so I'll go ahead and delete them and watch the tail - hopefully by morning someone will be able to help out on the forums | 07:18 |
| After_Math | Wyld`, yes, on a separate partiton | 07:18 |
| fictivetoast | thanks for your help though, still certainly appreciated even if I'm not all the way there yet | 07:19 |
| Leochen | ÖйúµÄÄÇλ¡£³öÀ´ÁÄ | 07:19 |

| After_Math | Wyld`, will look at it, ihave tried a few of these already, but the ones ive seen didnt have much detail | 07:21 |
| nicku | gigel2006: ssh register@xxx.xxx.xx.xx and then you can run irssi with just commmand "irssi" | 07:21 |
| After_Math | Wyld`, ok cool thanks alot | 07:21 |
| nicku | gigel2006: or you can screen it with "screen -S irssi irssi" | 07:21 |

| ubuntu_ | if I want to install a new version of ubuntu rather than upgrading, what's the best way to keep my configuration settings? | 07:39 |
| waan | ubuntu_: backup your home dir | 07:40 |
| waan | ubuntu_: and anything else you want in /etc | 07:40 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: it won't keep your system application settings | 07:40 |
| ubuntu_ | ikonia, you mean settings that are in /etc? | 07:40 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: not all settings are in /etc and not all of your old settings will work with the new application version in the newver version | 07:41 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: just be aware it's not as simple as backup your homedir and it will all be the same | 07:41 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: but it's not far off | 07:41 |
| ubuntu_ | ikonia, so is upgrading the better option then (it | 07:42 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: better than what ? | 07:42 |
| Frogzoo | ubuntu_: backup /etc/ & /home & do an 'dpkg --get-selections' & you're about g2g | 07:42 |
| KillerOrca | anyone know how to install an HP brand printer? | 07:43 |
| ubuntu_ | better than reinstalling (it's for a server that's currently on 6.04) | 07:43 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: for that I'd personally rather do a clean install | 07:43 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: as thats a non-lts version I'd exect things to be obsoleted in 8.04/8.10 thaat could cause you issues during the upgrade, but thats only a personal belief | 07:43 |

| julian_ | my laptop has no com port and i need to program a little ubuntu serial programm | 07:47 |
| ikonia | julian_: what you want to use it for will define how it maybe possible | 07:47 |
| julian_ | so i can sent data there i kinda reroute it to another com port and read it with my other program | 07:47 |
| ikonia | julian_: what application are you using ? | 07:47 |
| the-dead | am just installing gentoo via the ubuntu livecd (intrepid live cd has support my network cards \o/) and noticed that my FN keys work out of the box, even the display brightness adjustment works out of the box. I therefore wonder where ubuntu sets up those keys. I looked for xmodmaps already but couldn't find anything related, looked in the gnome keyboard shortcuts and coldn't find anything either...so can anyone tell me w | 07:47 |

| Beralus | hi to all | 07:50 |
| ubuntu_ | Frogzoo, you suggested 'dpkg --get-selections' - would you use that list to ensure the new install has the same packages installed? | 07:50 |
| ikonia | julian_: just chose another input output port, say IR, bluetooth, etc etc | 07:50 |
| the-dead | ikonia: does ubuntu have a patched version of xorg for that? because on gentoo it didn't work....or do i have to setup anything in xorg for that? (yeah, i still configure my x instead of letting it run with an empty config) | 07:50 |
| ikonia | the-dead: don't believe it's patches | 07:50 |
| ikonia | patched | 07:50 |
| julian_ | ikonia: sorry didnt get what you mean | 07:50 |
| ikonia | julian_: I assume you mean a serial port as a comport (maybe wrong assumption) | 07:50 |
| ikonia | julian_: IR/blueooth etc are all "com ports" | 07:51 |
| julian_ | ikonia: RS232, serial, com port and in the future it will be connected to a kind of a microkontroller | 07:51 |
| ikonia | julian_: ah, I don't blieve you can just make a device node for it , no | 07:51 |

| rand0mabo | ikonia, hrmm.. i'm not quite sure.. in "hardware testing" - it says Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01) | 08:09 |
| rand0mabo | Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) - so i think the atheros is the wireless controller (when in use) and realtek is what i'm using right now | 08:09 |
| ikonia | binarymutant: don't know - ask the guys in launchpad | 08:09 |
| rand0mabo | but i could be wrong | 08:09 |
| rand0mabo | whoa sorry for huge paste | 08:09 |

| aznan | ikonia, what is og | 08:10 |
| ikonia | aznan: oh | 08:10 |
| shinoj | aznan: you then have to kill the process | 08:10 |

| Balachmar | Hi, I'm experiencing a terribly slow upload on my laptop. It is connected through a wired interface. And it should have a much higher upload. Does anyone have an idea what may be the cause? | 08:17 |
| steven__ | hateball, thanks. | 08:17 |
| aznan | ok, problem solve! maybe some glitch just now | 08:18 |
| Balachmar | My upload is 7K now instead of like 1M which is caused by my laptop, since another computer connected to the same network is doing 4M right now... | 08:18 |
| steven__ | hateball: I don't think it shows the USB drive | 08:19 |
| aiwalli | Bojour | 08:19 |
| aznan | how do i open port in transmission, it says port is close and the speed is very slow | 08:19 |
| hateball | steven__╸ You pick the device to change in the upper right corner. Make sure you launch it with superuser rights | 08:19 |
| Arminas | aznan, firewall | 08:20 |
| hateball | steven__╸ Note you also have to unmount the drive before doing certain operations on it. | 08:20 |
| nnull | aznan¬ need to open ports on ure router dude | 08:20 |
| === izibi_ is now known as izibi | ||
| magnetron | aznan→ something else is closing the port, not transmission | 08:20 |
| aznan | do i need to install iptable | 08:21 |
| nnull | magnetron¬ he doesnt seem like the sort that would much around with iptables, surely you think its his router? | 08:21 |
| aznan | im using intrepid | 08:21 |
| steven__ | hateball: launched it using "sudo gparted" found the usb drive, but it won't let me reformat it. i can't do anything to it. | 08:21 |
| aznan | while in hardy, i used deluge | 08:21 |
| nnull | aznan¬ if you havent played with any firewall settings and are using stock install you shouldnt need to change anything | 08:21 |
| nnull | unless something has drastically changed in .10 | 08:22 |

| jeancalvin | hi, without physically unplugging the LAN cable at the back of my computer, is there a way I can simulate going offline (i.e. having no internet connection)? (I'm testing out Gears (google gears).) | 08:28 |

| bthornton | I'm running Netbeans 6.0.1 (package maintainer version) on two separate but similarly-configured Ubuntu 8.04.1 machines. One appears to be integrated with my GNOME desktop using GTK+ controls and the other appears to be using "Java-esque" controls. Any idea why? | 08:29 |
| bthornton | I'm not really a fan of the Java look-and-feel and would like to have the second one look like it does on the other machine... | 08:29 |
| clinthexa | exit | 08:30 |
| jeancalvin | what command can i give my computer to make it go offline (from the internet)? | 08:31 |
| Win2Ubuntu | Hi all. :-) | 08:31 |
| jeancalvin | my comp currently has wired internet connection | 08:31 |
| jeancalvin | Win2Ubuntu: hi you. | 08:32 |
| Win2Ubuntu | Just having a bit of a play, probably not a very important question, but how do i go about using desklets | 08:32 |
| hateball | jeancalvin╸ Are you using networkmanager? Do you still want to have LAN access? | 08:32 |
| jeancalvin | hateball: this is just to test out Google gears, so i need to get online access after about 2 minutes of testing things out offline. Yes, I think I'm using networkmanager, or whatever comes by default in ubuntu 8.10 | 08:33 |
| hateball | jeancalvin╸ Well you can just rightclick the icon in the tray and untick "Enable network" :) | 08:34 |
| jeancalvin | hateball: oh, yeah. | 08:34 |

| homopetteri | what is my nick | 08:37 |
| g33k_gir1 | @ hateball: would that be KUser (User Manager) in KDE? | 08:37 |
| nicku | ubuntu_: with some programs that might work but i too woudn't recommend | 08:37 |
| ubuntu_ | nicku, Bodsda, so is it better to just make the changes again so that it behaves the same? | 08:38 |

| nicku | ubuntu_: yes | 08:38 |
| internethatemach | DCC CHAT C:\STARTKEYLOGGER\ | 08:38 |
| Bodsda | ubuntu_, yes, time consuming i know but its the safest way -- if you use old config files who knows what will happen | 08:38 |
| Bodsda | AdvoWork, correct -- what do you mean by 'admin' ? | 08:39 |
| nicku | ubuntu_: of course you can compare the old and new ones and copy some parts from old confs | 08:39 |

| Kartagis | nicku, cheers | 08:51 |
| jim_p | atax: i dont know what a bs command is, but you can have a look at that script with nano | 08:52 |
| jim_p | drindt: is the network on the vbox machine set to nat? | 08:52 |
| jim_p | Kartagis: gparted if you want gui | 08:53 |
| xjkx | its translated to my language, but ye, i think its the update manager, its in systray and it tells me when there is a new update, jim_p | 08:53 |
| atax | jim_p, Thanks (the book said: I should start the script with the bs -command, .. however it s not part of my distribution and apt doesent find it). Well i ll go about it some other way, thx! | 08:53 |
| ddelec24 | jim_p, no, but i follow fix guide here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda ;) | 08:53 |
| mrynit | how can i tell if a file is executable? | 08:53 |
| phantomcircuit | hey guys there is some process | 08:54 |
| TiMiDo | Myrtti, chmod a+x file | 08:54 |
| TiMiDo | and then you executed with ./program name | 08:54 |
| phantomcircuit | 13817 root 15 -5 0 0 0 R 63 0.0 59:17.70 kcryptd_io | 08:54 |

| drindt | jim_p: in esx terms the box is connected to a vSwitch, but the box get ordinary ip from dhcp in my network | 08:54 |
| TiMiDo | phantomcircuit, please do not paste in here | 08:54 |
| phantomcircuit | these two processes are using 100% of my cpu | 08:54 |
| xjkx | i think Myrtti meant how he would know, if so, try file filename | 08:54 |
| mrynit | i want to see if it is executable not turn it into one | 08:54 |
| phantomcircuit | and i cant seem to figure out hwo to kill them | 08:55 |
| jim_p | Josesordo: and the other one please... | 08:55 |
| nicku | phantomcircuit: kill PID | 08:55 |
| xjkx | Myrtti: also try ls -l and see if it has a +x | 08:55 |
| humancat | isnt aufs should work automatically? for example linpus format and automount SD card if inserted to slot in this aspire one laptop. and in ubuntu aufs even isnt running by default... | 08:55 |
| shameless | exaile can't find my gobject file for some reason, any way to replace said file? | 08:55 |
| jim_p | xjkx: the update manager is a simple frontend to apt | 08:55 |
| mrynit | k | 08:55 |
| xjkx | jim_p: yes. and, the operation being done is apt-get upgrade right ? | 08:55 |
| phantomcircuit | nicku, i did `sudo kill -9 13817` did nothing | 08:55 |
| jim_p | xjkx: yes, when you tell it to upgrade | 08:56 |
| jim_p | does anyone know how can i disable the appearence of custom smileys sent from other contacts in pidgin (msn protocol)? | 08:56 |
| xjkx | then its just funny, coz my apt-get upgrade tells me i have to download 12mb, while update-manager says i have to download 10 :> | 08:56 |
| Prometheus | hola | 08:56 |
| Prometheus | if I want to install ubuntu-server, can I use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD to do it? | 08:57 |
| Josesordo | when I put headphones, the speaker still sound..so I hear sound from both (headphones and speaker)..I got a ASUS notebook | 08:57 |
| Josesordo | I did lspci grep audio: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia | 08:57 |
| nicku | Prometheus: yes | 08:57 |
| Prometheus | nicku: so that's the very barebones installation, aka server without any crud on top? :) | 08:57 |
| Josesordo | tell me the another command pls.. | 08:57 |
| Prometheus | just install cli | 08:58 |
| Prometheus | right? | 08:58 |
| jim_p | Josesordo: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec | 08:58 |
| nicku | Prometheus: yes | 08:58 |
| Prometheus | alright, thanks :) | 08:58 |
| jim_p | Josesordo: i need one more clue to tell you want to do. this one ^^ | 08:58 |

| mmu_man | http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3021 hmm seems the gcc on ubuntu doesn't like itself | 09:00 |

| ChrisW | jim_p: well, on my desktop, under vmware, it behaves as I'd expect, with windows and the like. On my laptop (much smaller screen) under virtualbox, I just seem to get tabs down the elft for each window, and each window takes up the rest of the desktop space | 09:01 |
| ScaryGary8460 | Did anyone respond to my question? | 09:01 |
| asaren | hello | 09:01 |
| Kira | You know how Windows Servers have something called a "domain controller"? What's the equivalent in the Linux world? | 09:01 |
| humancat | ScaryGary8460: sorry im to scared to respond | 09:02 |
| jim_p | ChrisW: can you set the inside vbox resolution? | 09:02 |
| hateball | Kira╸ Depends. You can have NFS for sharing files, and LDAP for authentication | 09:02 |
| ScaryGary8460 | humancat: I'm really not that scary.. It's just a nickname i picked up shooting pool. | 09:02 |
| humancat | :D | 09:02 |
| chazco | Hi... is there a way to downgrade to 8.04.1 from 8.10? | 09:02 |
| ChrisW | jim_p: yep, but I'm just wondering if it's *supposed* to behave differently | 09:03 |
| asaren | any know? How to limit/forbid user access firefox? | 09:03 |
| jim_p | ChrisW: no :( | 09:03 |
| ChrisW | Kira: if you want a domain controller, run samba | 09:03 |

| peppo | does anyone know where one can find packages of the nvidia drivers (proprietary, not free) for kernel 2.6.24-19-rt and Ubuntu 8.10? I can't run .27, it's incredibly unstable on my computer. | 09:03 |
| ChrisW | jim_p: ah wait... if I select the "mobile desktop" option in the installer, would that give me a different window manager? | 09:03 |
| arrust | ciao a tutto #ubuntu | 09:04 |
| peppo | and there doesn't seem to be kernel-headers for 2.6.24-19-rt either, so I can't build nvidia-kernel from source! :/ | 09:04 |
| jim_p | ChrisW: no. you can install openbox, which is ligter, and set openbox to be used in gnome | 09:04 |
| jim_p | lighter and smaller | 09:04 |
| ChrisW | jim_p: ah yeah, but I'm guessing selecting the "mobile desktop" thingy in the installer is what did it, it sounded like it was aimed at laptops... | 09:05 |
| jim_p | Josesordo: thanks a lot. this is tons of info | 09:05 |
| Kira | ChrisW: If I understand correctly, Samba pretty much ports the Windows domain controller protocol to Linux. But other than Samba, does Linux usually have its own equivalent/parallel of the Windows domain controller? | 09:05 |
| Josesordo | How to install drirve for this: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) madwifi doesnt work T_T | 09:05 |
| jim_p | ChrisW: i think that this option installs all sorts of junk like gspa drivers and so on | 09:05 |
| ChrisW | anyway, more important question: does the default window manager have a "right-click-shell-here" lurking somewhere in the file browser? | 09:05 |
| * ChrisW wonders what a gspa driver is :-S | 09:06 | |
| jim_p | ChrisW: there is a package named nautilus-terminal... i think. install it | 09:06 |
| ChrisW | Kira: depends what you want to do... | 09:07 |
| jim_p | ChrisW: the name is nautilus-open-terminal | 09:07 |
| jim_p | Josesordo: give me a sec ok? | 09:07 |

| tafkaz_73 | hi. i am trying to get a raid5 running using the ICP GDT8546RZ for two days now... | 09:08 |
| jim_p | Josesordo: are you on 8.10? | 09:08 |
| tafkaz_73 | and i am near to give up | 09:08 |
| ChrisW | jim_p: well, that brings me to another question... this is my first experience with *desktop* linux, does that add-remove programs menu work with the same resources as apt-get? (and does ubuntu have aptitude?) | 09:08 |
| Ientzy | how can i put static ip to ubuntu 8.10? | 09:08 |
| tafkaz_73 | both 8.04 and 8.10 will install fine but produce errors after the first boot | 09:09 |
| jim_p | ChrisW: add/remove is a stupid app. use synaptic and apt-get/aptitude in terminal if you want | 09:09 |
| tafkaz_73 | anyone knows the problem or any idea what i could try | 09:09 |
| ChrisW | that's not what I asked ;-) | 09:09 |
| nS-Sardin3s-Scho | anyone from Portugal? | 09:10 |
| ChrisW | if I use add/remove, will it interact badly with synaptic or aptitude? | 09:10 |

| bazhang | ChrisW, no | 09:11 |
| jim_p | Ientzy: remove network manager not to mess with it, and go to networ-admin and do the rest | 09:11 |
| jim_p | Ientzy: sudo network-admin | 09:11 |
| jim_p | not me , sorry | 09:11 |
| nicku | ChrisW: it is just a frontend | 09:11 |
| Kengine | does thsi even work ? http://www.irishsilicon.com/2008/11/peap-wifi-ubuntu-810-intrrepid.html | 09:12 |

| jim_p | Kengine: save them! | 09:15 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Why has FireFox in Ubuntu stopped saving pictures when I tell it to? I tell it to save a picture, or a website, and it doesn't create any files.. | 09:15 |
| Chaotic_Descent | did I reach some kind of file limit? | 09:15 |
| Chaotic_Descent | did it take away my permission to create files? | 09:15 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I saved a text file. | 09:16 |
| ChrisW | nicku: thanks | 09:16 |
| Kengine | jim_p: so once the NetworkManager starts connecting I run the three commands right ? | 09:16 |
| ChrisW | I see icons to launch firefox and a mail app on the top bar, how can I add an icon there to launch a shell? | 09:16 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Also, all the thumbnails of the images in my file folders won't load... | 09:16 |

| jim_p | Kengine: can you disable network manager to have more success? if yes, please do | 09:17 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I think something seriously bad happened, but I don't understand what or how... | 09:17 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I expect this kind of thing in Windows. I didn't think Linux could so easily accidentally screw up like this from normal use... | 09:17 |
| jim_p | peppo: cant you install the 2.6.16-19 headers? | 09:19 |
| nicku | Chaotic_Descent: linux is also made by humans.. humans do make mistakes too | 09:19 |
| jim_p | *2.6.26 | 09:19 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I can copy image files... the thumbnails still won't load from them, even after I load the image. | 09:19 |
| jim_p | grrrrrr | 09:19 |
| jim_p | peppo: cant you install the 2.6.24-19 headers? | 09:19 |
| Chaotic_Descent | nicku: I know... this is just... really really messed up and not supposed to happen. | 09:19 |
| jim_p | Chaotic_Descent: remove ff and reinstall it | 09:19 |
| peppo | jim_p, doesn't seem to be enough. seems it wants the -rt header package too | 09:20 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I'm not sure it's a FireFox problem... since there seems to be something wrong with my files to begin with. | 09:20 |
| ChrisW | peppo: I'm guessing the answer is no given your repeated asking and lack of response | 09:21 |
| Chaotic_Descent | what handles image thumbnails in the file browser? | 09:21 |
| jim_p | peppo: wait | 09:21 |
| Chaotic_Descent | is that uh... Gnome? | 09:21 |
| ChrisW | bazhang: yeah, I did that, but no sign of shell in the list of addables, ideas? | 09:21 |
| jim_p | Chaotic_Descent: the file browser itself | 09:21 |
| jim_p | Chaotic_Descent: install pcmanfm and see if you have thumbnails in it | 09:22 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... oh god. how do I fix Ubuntu's file browser if it breaks? :S | 09:22 |
| bazhang | ChrisW, choose application launcher then click forward and choose from accessories | 09:23 |
| dataflow | OMG! =\ so, a complete uninstall of firefox removes all bookmarks? | 09:23 |
| === jim_p is now known as jim_p-afk | ||
| ChrisW | thanks, got it | 09:23 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... I don't think pcmanfm is installing correctly... it's just sitting there with the circle wait cursor... | 09:24 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I think I broke Ubuntu. | 09:24 |
| alexbobp | Hello. I migrated an old installation of mysql by replacing the /var/lib/mysql directory with the old one after installing. Now when I try to upgrade the server, Ubuntu is complaining that the debian-sys-maintenence account doesn't work, because I replaced the user tables and the password is different. Where can I look up what password ubuntu is using, so that I can update the mysql server? | 09:25 |
| Chaotic_Descent | by browsing the internet and attempting to save pictures and web pages. :P | 09:25 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I logged out when I first noticed serious problems, but apparently I have to use the Windows tactic of rebooting. | 09:26 |
| tafkaz_73 | noone knows the icp gdt 8546 ? | 09:26 |
| oblitera | hi | 09:27 |
| oblitera | im thinking about moving from vista to ubuntu | 09:27 |
| JGodbout | Good idea! | 09:27 |
| oblitera | i miss the comiz fusion effects | 09:27 |
| Chaotic_Descent | certain files still won't load their thumbnails after rebooting... what was that file browser I was supposed to install? | 09:29 |
| phoenix_ | questyion: is there any partition manager tool in ubuntu8.10? | 09:30 |
| Chaotic_Descent | pcman file manager I think. | 09:30 |
| kindofabuzz | phoenix_, gparted is one | 09:30 |
| Chaotic_Descent | sorry, I was answering myself. | 09:30 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ok, PCMAN can view the thumbnails that my regular file browser won't load (and just gets that clock icon for all files instead) | 09:32 |
| phoenix_ | kindofabuzz: i mean graphical partition manager not on terminal | 09:33 |
| kindofabuzz | phoenix_, gparted | 09:33 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... oh. this is nice. my FireFox bookmarks are gone. | 09:34 |

| sinan | when i open the network tools, and try to click "configure", it reports: "the interface does not exist", although it clearly does (and i am using it!). Any ideas? | 09:38 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why is this "tracker" app's icon flashing beside my update icon?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MY COMPUTER?! | 09:38 |
| Chaotic_Descent | It's going haywire! | 09:39 |
| oblitera | hey | 09:39 |
| oblitera | Is it possible to run vista from ubuntu | 09:40 |
| kindofabuzz | hmm gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst brings up nothing.. something is wrong with mine too! =) | 09:40 |
| fosco_ | oblitera: with virtualbox | 09:40 |
| jim_p-afk | ok back | 09:40 |
| === jim_p-afk is now known as jim_p | ||
| Chaotic_Descent | is my Ubuntu somehow being hacked? | 09:41 |
| jim_p | Chaotic_Descent: by who? | 09:41 |
| oblitera | fosco_: should i install ubuntu 32bit or will 64bit work with virtual box | 09:41 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... I don't know. | 09:41 |
| fosco_ | oblitera: whatever you want | 09:42 |
| Chaotic_Descent | now the tracker's idle. I've never even heard of the tracker before now. | 09:42 |
| Chaotic_Descent | the tracker had 2 somethings going on... but when I opened it, it didn't show anything... | 09:43 |
| fosco_ | Chaotic_Descent: you are not been hacked, disable tracker in syste, preferences - session if you don't need it | 09:43 |
| fosco_ | system - preferences - session | 09:43 |
| jim_p | Chaotic_Descent, relax! open a terminal and type echo Relax! | 09:44 |
| konglingyun | #ubuntu-cn | 09:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | fosco_: .... huh... looks like I can't open session settings. | 09:45 |
| Chaotic_Descent | it says starting sessions... and then it just disappears. | 09:45 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Ubuntu is totally screwed. | 09:45 |
| fosco_ | open a terminal, go to cd ~/.config/autostart | 09:46 |
| Chaotic_Descent | how do I find out if it's my HD or a software problem? | 09:46 |
| jim_p | Chaotic_Descent, can you logout and login again? | 09:46 |

| jim_p | does anyone know how can i disable the appearence of custom smileys sent from other contacts in pidgin (msn protocol)? | 09:47 |
| Chaotic_Descent | what good is changing my tracker settings if Ubuntu isn't running properly? | 09:48 |
| andjons_ | suddenly nautilus locks up when starting. no errors when starting from console. Any suggestions? | 09:48 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: run what from a terminal? | 09:48 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, try explaining the problem again | 09:49 |
| andjons_ | please help. it seems nautilus locks up when trying to display the files in my home dir. I've looked for suspicous files, but everything looks ok. | 09:50 |
| Chaotic_Descent | first I noticed FireFox wasn't saving HTML pages. then I noticed it wasn't saving images. | 09:50 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, ok, how do you know that FF isnt saving pages? | 09:51 |
| Chaotic_Descent | then it started having problems loading web pages and it froze up when I tried to copy the URL to a link file. so I switched terminals even though I have no idea what to actually do in other terminals, and when I came back and lots of windows were glitched and missing contents. | 09:51 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Because I save "save page as" and hit enter and no files are created. same with image files. | 09:51 |
| snifer | anybody know any private torrent websites?? | 09:51 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, ok, open a terminal and run 'firefox' then save a page -- is there any output in the terminal? | 09:52 |
| remoteCTR1 | can it be that the new implementation of network-manager is bogus like hell??? | 09:52 |
| blip- | hi, i read somewhere that you need to restart ubuntu after installing "Mysql and Apache"... is that true ? | 09:53 |
| binarymutant | do terminal color codes work in the dwm status bar? | 09:53 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: no window pops up when I click "save image as" so now I can't even attempt it. | 09:53 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, reinstall FF | 09:53 |
| Chaotic_Descent | oh. error in the terminal. (firefox:32281): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: | 09:53 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. | 09:53 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, not good -- try reinstalling FF | 09:54 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: do I have to worry about my bookmark files? FireFox seems to have lost track of all of them just recently... | 09:54 |
| jim_p | does anyone know how can i disable the appearence of custom smileys sent from other contacts in pidgin (msn protocol)? | 09:54 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, yes, make a backup of them | 09:55 |
| Frogzoo | Chaotic_Descent: full disk? | 09:55 |
| carpii | grab the FEBE extension for firefox, itll schedule a backup of your profile, or bits of it | 09:55 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Frogzoo: ... hm... I checked one partition but not the system partition... | 09:55 |
| Frogzoo | Chaotic_Descent: nvm then | 09:56 |
| Frogzoo | carpii: ooh nice | 09:56 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... .... partition size... unknown. @_@; that's not good. | 09:56 |
| blip- | can mysql-server-5.0 not be installed on an ubuntu 8.04 liveCD ? I'm getting a permission denied stuff while installing it via sudo apt-get | 09:57 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... why is the partition that Ubuntu is on of "unknown" size? | 09:57 |
| Frogzoo | blip-: does the live have a writable /var? | 09:57 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... it also seems to be unmounted... | 09:58 |
| hateball | blip-╸ mysql is pretty large... perhaps the RAM is full? | 09:58 |
| Frogzoo | Chaotic_Descent: boot off a live cd & fsck | 09:58 |
| Chaotic_Descent | how can Ubuntu's partition be unmounted? | 09:58 |
| blip- | Frogzoo, yes writable with sudo, i was able to copy a file into it | 09:58 |
| blip- | hateball, got 4GB | 09:58 |
| Chaotic_Descent | What's fsck? | 09:58 |
| Frogzoo | Chaotic_Descent: file system checker | 09:59 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, man fsck, as the name may imply, file system check | 09:59 |
| MacGyverNL | Why does the init script snippet at http://rafb.net/p/6HYthF19.html throw all these errors: http://rafb.net/p/GxA7FZ45.html , but when I input the commands on the commandline everything's fine? | 09:59 |
| blip- | btw how come ubuntu liveCD doesn't give an option to copy to ram during boot ? is it that a distro specific thing ? | 10:00 |
| remoteCTR1 | i have tons of errors in nm-connection-editor can someone help me with that pls? | 10:00 |
| Frogzoo | blip-: sounds like it | 10:01 |

| mgolisch | MacGyverNL: that could be whats different | 10:02 |
| Chaotic_Descent | do I need to know anything else before I run the Ubuntu CD and run fsck? | 10:02 |
| Chaotic_Descent | does it matter that the Ubuntu CD I have is an old version? | 10:03 |
| Frogzoo | Chaotic_Descent: nope | 10:03 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, you've backed up right ? | 10:04 |

| Frogzoo | Chaotic_Descent: yeah, best backup before you go there.. | 10:04 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, then be careful before pressing yes or no if fsck prompts you, better yet run it in readonly mode first | 10:05 |

| jeancalvin | Hello, I'm going to install an app (older version of jpilot). Install file says that I need to do "./configure" and then ""make" and then "make install". My question is, will doing those 3 steps start scattering files and bits into everywhere on my computer? Or will it just stay in one folder? | 10:06 |
| andjons_ | please help. what type of file in my home directory could cause nautilus to lock up!? | 10:06 |
| Chaotic_Descent | wait... do I have to backup if my files are on a different partition from the Ubuntu system? | 10:06 |
| bimberi | jeancalvin: most likely the former. Try using checkinstall... | 10:06 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, if you knew what happened to my machine you'd backup every day.... i've been trying to recover stuff from my /home partition for 3 weeks now.... i've lost several months of work..... get an external HDD and bacnup every few days... it's a 1 click thing after you set it up | 10:06 |
| bimberi | !checkinstall | jeancalvin | 10:07 |
| ubottu | jeancalvin: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 10:07 |
| sparrow-jack | Ubuntu is the busiest channel.... whew!!! | 10:08 |
| shinoj | !dh_help | 10:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dh_help | 10:08 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, yes you have to... it may corrupt the partion table. the fastest backup you can do makes use of rsync and the gui front-end grsync..... it only copies over the new files to your backup device...so first time it will copy everything and take ages.... after that it's a few minutes | 10:08 |
| MacGyverNL | mgolisch: Seems the $HOSTNAME var is empty. | 10:08 |

| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, so the real question is, can you afford to lose everything on your HDD right now ? Because this may happen in the worst scenario | 10:09 |
| jeancalvin | bimberi: the app tar.gz comes with an "uninstall". does this mean it will completely uninstall everything it installs? | 10:09 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, i know it's annoying and takes long.. but don't rush... i did and regretted it | 10:09 |

| Chaotic_Descent | blip-: ... so... I can't fix Ubuntu until I buy a new HD? T_T; | 10:09 |
| r2s | I just configure things in the network manager but it seems that it's not connecting | 10:10 |
| Chaotic_Descent | god I hate computers. | 10:10 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why does it have to be so complicated? why can't it EVER be simple? | 10:10 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: are you there? | 10:10 |
| blip- | Chaotic_Descent, it's your call the safety margin you want, try running fsck in *read-only* mode... that won't affect or damage anything | 10:10 |
| shinoj | Chaotic_Descent: what is your problem? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: on and off at the moment, what's up ? | 10:11 |
| sparrow-jack | oten? | 10:11 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: i have massive trouble with this nm-connection-editor | 10:11 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 ok | 10:11 |
| Chaotic_Descent | shinoj: Ubuntu is messing up real bad and I'm being told I should backup my HD before I try to fix it. | 10:11 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: i cannot add a second nameserver because it throws an error window stating that this is read only | 10:12 |
| ikonia | Chaotic_Descent always good advice | 10:12 |
| jeancalvin | bimberi: that link you gave doesn't work. And I've just installed checkinstall. can you tell me how to create a deb now please? | 10:12 |
| shinoj | Chaotic_Descent: what was the problem? | 10:12 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 if the pannel is unlocked and it's being advertised as read only I'd log a bug on launchpad | 10:12 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: you are using the gnome desktop too aren't you ?# | 10:12 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: and after all after having added a wireless connection MANUALLY as it dont seem to recon networks by itself anyxmore i have to manually add nameservers to resolv.conf cos otherwise my cable connectin wont work anymore | 10:12 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: gnome, yes, and there is nothing to unnlock it | 10:13 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 is your dhcp server set to advertise name servers ? | 10:13 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: no unlock button as in hardy | 10:13 |
| bimberi | jeancalvin: works here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall | 10:13 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: on the cable connection i dont have a name server its static and on wifi yes | 10:13 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 so is the problem with the wired connection or the wirless | 10:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: as said the wifi works but the cable doesnt anymore after having added a wifi connection | 10:14 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 interesting, are the cable and wifi networks on the same network | 10:15 |
| Chaotic_Descent | shinoj: problems opening apps like sessions settings or installing applications. can't save image files or web pages from firefox. can't view firefox bookmarks within firefox. can't see image thumbnails of specific files within the normal browser. (PCman seems to be able to though) system partition seems to be unmounted, of an unknown type and size. | 10:15 |
| konglingyun | #ubuntu-cn | 10:15 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: and after having added the nameservers manually in resolv.conf it works again | 10:15 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: nope but have the same dns | 10:15 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 can you share the two ip addresses of the network | 10:15 |
| DJones | Does anybody have experience with the security webcam application "Motion", I'm just trying out the live webcam in a browser and in fire firefox I can view the live stream, but in internet explorer, it wants to save the file, or go online to find an application to open the file with, does anybody know of a solution for this so that an IE user could view the webcam stream generated from an Intrepid server? | 10:15 |
| remoteCTR1 | well the one is 140.78.0.0 and the other is a 10.78.112.0 | 10:16 |
| shinoj | Chaotic_Descent: try one thing, do reinstall ubuntu, without the format options. it doesnt deletes your preferences | 10:16 |
| shinoj | Chaotic_Descent: it should solve the problems | 10:16 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 how can they share the same name servers ? those ranges are massivly different, | 10:16 |
| r2s | how can I connect to my 3G internet with ubuntu 8.10 ??? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: just trying to pickup a picture of what you've got | 10:16 |
| ikonia | r2s ar eyou using a phone or a usb dongle | 10:17 |
| r2s | ikonia: usb dongle | 10:17 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: point is all of our university is well covered with wireless hotspots, so either you connect via cable in the office or outside the office with the uni wireless and then with vpn into the office | 10:17 |
| ikonia | r2s: what netowkr ? | 10:17 |
| shinoj | r2s: are you using using mobile phone? | 10:17 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I just don't know what the problem is. I'm worried I might make it worse. Like what if my HD is dying? | 10:17 |
| r2s | they say that It's easy to connect now in ubuntu 8.10 | 10:17 |
| ikonia | r2s it is | 10:17 |
| r2s | ikonia: how? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 seems a reasonable statment | 10:17 |
| r2s | using ZTE MF622 device | 10:17 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: office has private range and uni has public range | 10:17 |
| ikonia | r2s: what network | 10:18 |
| shinoj | Chaotic_Descent: its nothing related to hareware dying | 10:18 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: hehe thanks | 10:18 |
| r2s | Smart here in the philippines | 10:18 |
| jeancalvin | I did "apt-get install foo" and terminal said the file needed foo1, foo2, foo3. After I "apt-get remove foo", how can I automatically remove its dependencies which were installed, without my having to call them by name? | 10:18 |
| r2s | ikonia: so how? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: so the bottom line of the problem is that now that you have 2 networks defiend (not in use) your name server entry is read only for more than one dns server ? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | r2s: plug it in, open network manager and select "mobile broadband services" | 10:18 |
| agata | :) | 10:18 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: come again? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | r2s: then cofnigure it as per your network provider | 10:19 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: just trying to get a summary, you can't enter the dns servers second entry as it complains it's read only | 10:19 |
| bimberi | jeancalvin: sudo apt-get autoremove | 10:19 |
| r2s | ikonia: already did in the Mobile Broadband settings in the Network Manager | 10:19 |
| ikonia | r2s great, you should be good to go | 10:20 |
| ikonia | r2s: click connect | 10:20 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: it used to be like this: if you have a wireless access point nearby the applet used to show that. now i have to manually set up a wifi connection in order to even HAVE a wifi applet, otherwise it doesnt show | 10:20 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: nope i cant | 10:20 |
| jeancalvin | pidgin question: when I'm in a "/msg" tab with some other user and he types a message to me, I hear a beep. How can I hear a beep too in the main #ubuntu window? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 I'd log a bug for that, that sounds like a genuine bug | 10:20 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: and after having set up the wifi manually all of a sudden the wired connection doesnt find a nameserver unless you manually enter it into resolv.conf | 10:20 |
| MooCows | Hello, I am having a problem with the hardware drivers installing my nVidia driver | 10:20 |
| r2s | ikonia: no connect button | 10:20 |
| jeancalvin | bimberi: thanks again!!! | 10:21 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: agree on that, will do so immediately | 10:21 |
| Chaotic_Descent | shinoj: it's not? it's just software? How did it screw up this terminally? some people are saying I could lose all the data on my HDD. should I be reinstalling or running fsck? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | r2s: you click on the network manager applet in the trop right of the gnome desktop | 10:21 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: thanks for sharing your thoughts:) | 10:21 |
| MooCows | I click activate , however it does nothing | 10:21 |
| bimberi | jeancalvin: np, although I know little of pidgin sorry ;) | 10:21 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: part of that senario I can understand (the blank name service) however I can't understand why your being allowed to get tot hat situation by network manager | 10:21 |
| r2s | ikonia: did that but the configure I made is not visible one Left-click... | 10:22 |
| ikonia | r2s then you've not set it up properly in the mobile broad band, or you physical hardware device is not supported | 10:22 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: well there are several aspects that i dont quite get, for example why is the applet in prreferences now not in administration anymore, how am i supposed to edit settings if i am not being asked for credentials, etc | 10:22 |
| MooCows | Is it possible to install the driver though apt-get ? | 10:22 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 yes, the lack of unlock button concerns me | 10:23 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: somehow this new thing seems a little immature to me... | 10:23 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: out of interest before you log the bog visit system->prefernces->networking and see if the info in there conflicts with the applet | 10:23 |
| ikonia | s/bog/bug | 10:23 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: the info in there is correct i just cannot edit it | 10:24 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 and you have no unlock button there eitehr | 10:24 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: if i start the nm-connection-editor via console it keeps throwing tons of errors | 10:24 |
| stefodnb | Hi. This happens about every second boot, with my special USB keyboard plugged in: http://pastie.org/318588 and the keyboard fails to work. Sometimes after waiting ~5 minutes it starts working however. Any ideas? | 10:24 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: definitely not | 10:24 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 bug logging time | 10:24 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: %100 | 10:24 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: aye! | 10:24 |

| fosco_ | nothing more | 10:31 |
| sveri | hi folks i am trying to set up x on a server and i am stuck, i managed to install fluxbox, can start it with startx too, but i cannot use the mouse or keyboard :( | 10:32 |
| sda | #salmonix | 10:33 |
| |ntegra| | I do that and I'm asked for my user password, that surprises me as I thought I'd be root to do these things? | 10:33 |
| fosco_ | |ntegra|: this is normal | 10:33 |
| fosco_ | no root password is required in ubuntu | 10:34 |
| |ntegra| | ok, ubuntu is different to other linux distros right? (I've been starting (with live cd) as root, then 'adduser' etc then sudo-ing with root's password) | 10:36 |
| ikonia | |ntegra|: ubuntu live cd doesn't log you in as root | 10:36 |
| haptiK | morning | 10:36 |
| haptiK | anyone here going to the ubuntu conference in london thursday? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | |ntegra|: ubuntu is not different from other distros, other distros have sudo too, sudo is a generic unix application | 10:36 |
| ikonia | haptiK: possible yes, and you acn discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:36 |
| stefodnb | |ntegra|: ubuntu aspires to be easier to use so it assumes you are an administrator on a single user machine. hence the single password, called 'the user password' | 10:36 |
| haptiK | can i discuss your mother in there too? | 10:37 |
| sveri | ah, hal and fam were missing | 10:37 |
| sveri | quitr | 10:37 |
| bazhang | haptiK, that is not appropriate | 10:37 |
| ikonia | haptiK that attitude is uncalled for | 10:37 |
| stefodnb | haptiK, fuck you | 10:37 |
| bazhang | stefodnb, no need for that language | 10:37 |
| |ntegra| | ok, thanx for the clarification, I've been using wolvix, slax, puppy, dsl, yoper, knoppix, it's been alot of fun <yes.geek> | 10:38 |
| tehgeek | hmm | 10:38 |
| |ntegra| | stefodnb: it's still hard to hack into though right? | 10:38 |
| * tehgeek has never heard of "Wolvix" I don't think | 10:38 | |

| salmonix | sveri: What dhcp server? You can always check dmesg. | 11:30 |
| sveri | salmonix, in installed dhcp3-server and set it up with firestarter | 11:31 |
| salmonix | sveri: Have you cehcked the config file, if set properly? | 11:33 |

| sveri | ActionParsnip, how to do that? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !firestarter | sveri | 11:37 |
| ubottu | sveri: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 11:37 |
| sveri | ActionParsnip, i know about that | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sveri: you cant just throw in some security and expect it to learn your system. You need to configure it | 11:38 |
| sveri | ActionParsnip, and like i said, i think i configured it right | 11:38 |
| sveri | ActionParsnip, at least there is not much to do wrong | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sveri: well its not working so clearly something is wrong | 11:38 |

| Soepstengel | People. Is it possible to unencrypt an encrypted partition created with the Ubuntu 8.04 alternative installation cd without losing data on it? | 11:45 |
| jrib | pc: yes | 11:45 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: how do I set this up? I have a dir-100 router | 11:45 |
| bazhang | pc yes install em | 11:45 |
| Soepstengel | Somehow my Windows XP installation cd is bitching because I have an encrypted partition. | 11:45 |
| ubuntu_ | jrib, because I have the desktop and alternate cd already... would prefer not to download a new ISO | 11:45 |
| jrib | ubuntu_: why do you want server instead of desktop? | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: web browse to the routers internal ip (you will probably find it http://192.168.0.1) | 11:46 |
| ubuntu_ | jrib, it's for a server installation. desktop would also work, but an optimised server install would probably be better | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: then rtfm | 11:46 |
| seriousstorm85 | does any one know how to solve a wirless network problem? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_ do you have enterprise hardware ? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: or is this on a "home" server | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | <seriousstorm85> - given the details you have given...it depends on the exact problem. | 11:47 |
| ubuntu_ | ikonia, definitely a "home" server :) | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: thing is their is no DEFINITIVE answer, it varys wildly between routers | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_ then you don't want a "server optimised" install as your not using server hardare | 11:47 |
| drindt | my ubuntu starting with runlevel2 is that right? | 11:47 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: I am rtfm but it is different compared to the linksys setup | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: you want a desktop install | 11:47 |
| ikonia | drindt: correct | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | <seriousstorm85> - there are a lot of people with driver upgrade issues, in the video and wireless areas sadly. | 11:48 |
| blinkn1 | hello | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | drindt, yes - | 11:48 |
| drindt | ikonia: in this runlevel the rc.local will not be executed? | 11:48 |
| pc | How do I get the compiz fusion icon | 11:48 |
| ikonia | drindt rc.local is always executed | 11:48 |
| drindt | ikonia: ok | 11:48 |
| jrib | ubuntu_: well if you're sure you aren't going to put a gui on it anway, easiest way is to just download the iso for a server install. Either way you're going to have to download new data anyway as the server kernel isn't on the desktop cd | 11:48 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: I have a portforwarding rule but I can't specify the destinations port if this is the case I need to adapt the listning port in the ssh conf | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | pc, you mean the fusion-iconm | 11:49 |
| sleepy_cat | hi | 11:49 |
| ubuntu_ | ikonia, that makes sense... in terms of security, are there significant risks using a desktop install as a server? | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | pc: sudo apt-get install compiz-setings-manager | 11:49 |
| panfist | how can i force kill a process that really doesnt want to be killed | 11:49 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_ nope | 11:49 |
| sleepy_cat | Do you guys know how to access hidden files via Terminal | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | pc, you mean the fusion-icon ' tool' that lets you controll compiz ? its in the "fusion-icon" pacaklge | 11:49 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: just shutdown all you don't need | 11:49 |
| jrib | panfist: pass -9 to the kill command | 11:50 |
| pc | Dr_willis: is compiz fusion already active, I installed ubuntu 8.1 | 11:50 |
| blinkn1 | i have a question , i don't know if this is the channel for it but here goes. i have a system that has a Pentium D processor 2 GHZ, 945G motherboard and 2GB ram and planning to run ubuntu 32 bit on it with tomcat ,apache http and glassfish server for testing my applications and also for use as a desktop. do you guys think the system is good enough for such tasks ? | 11:50 |
| jrib | sleepy_cat: access in what way? edit them? | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: thats fine, ususally you are able to specify the backend port but i guess you are tied down by your router | 11:50 |
| seriousstorm85 | Dr_willis my wireless card worked fine with 8.04, but since installing 8.10, it does not pick up my home router, it picks up other ones...however logging to one of the routers it picks up, it does not succeed in logging in when using the correct password etc, i have found out that it uses iwl3945, using dmesg | grep -i iwl everything looks normal and workin as it was in 8.04 | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | pc, Ubuntu 8.10 Has compiz installed... | 11:50 |
| alex_ | ls -al | 11:50 |
| pc | how do u access the settings | 11:50 |
| ikonia | blinkn1 more than good enough | 11:50 |
| sleepy_cat | no just enter into that directory | 11:50 |
| waleed | hello, does anyone know how to change the wifi transmission power on iwl3945 driver ? | 11:50 |
| sleepy_cat | like mozilla has .mozilla in home folder | 11:50 |
| jrib | sleepy_cat: cd directory as usual... | 11:50 |
| pc | how to acess compiz settings in 8.1 ubuntu | 11:51 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: that means that when I ssh localy I have to use the external port as well or am I wrong? | 11:51 |
| sleepy_cat | no it does not work for hidden files | 11:51 |
| daveStyle | pc: install compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:51 |
| jrib | sleepy_cat: cd ~/.mozilla | 11:51 |
| stibily | does anyone know much about mounting of ntfs? was working, but now isnt. thnxx | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | seriousstorm85, i would have to say check the forums.. wireless stff can be a bit of a challange to trouble shoot.. Could be some odd dr4iver updated quirk. or somthiong else entirely | 11:51 |
| panfist | jrib thats not working | 11:51 |
| nes | hello | 11:51 |
| jrib | panfist: reboot then | 11:51 |
| daveStyle | pc: new control panel is installed into Preferences | 11:51 |
| nes | 11:51 | |
| seriousstorm85 | Dr_willis thanks | 11:51 |
| nes | 11:51 | |
| FloodBot1 | nes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:51 |
| panfist | jrib well last time i did that i encountered this situation i had problems when the system came back up... | 11:52 |
| nes | is linux great?? | 11:52 |
| ikonia | nes try it | 11:52 |
| blinkn1 | thanks ikonia | 11:52 |
| ikonia | nes: see what you think | 11:52 |
| jrib | panfist: what is hanging? | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | stibily, about eveyr time some one mentions taht 'it used to work and now its not' its due to the ntfs not getting unmounted by windows cleanly when windows crashed.. so boot back to windows.. and scan/check/defrag the drive.. then try it in linux again | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: if you are on the same LAN you can use LAN address, if you are external to your LAN, use your routers WAN IP, you may want to get a no-ip account to save you having to remember your ip address | 11:52 |
| nes | how old you | 11:52 |
| ikonia | nes this is a support channel only, not a chat channel | 11:52 |
| bazhang | nes this is not the chat channel; #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 11:52 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: already have a no ip account | 11:52 |
| nes | okay | 11:53 |
| daveStyle | ikonia: A/S/L ? :) | 11:53 |
| stibily | Dr_willis: i just made sure -twice- that i successfully closed windows down, however i havent checked it for errors | 11:53 |
| panfist | jrib it's a file transfer using rsync to a raid5 array on the ubuntu machine created with mdadm. last time the file transfer just stopped, i rebooted, and the array had to resync ( 7 hours). and the problem keeps happening, so i would like to find out the cause. | 11:53 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: so just change the port in de ssh config on my server then right? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: then your account will resolve your name you have to your ip | 11:53 |
| Dr_willis | stibily, as a test.. try to mount the filesystemmanuyally from the terminal, and look for error messages | 11:53 |
| stibily | Dr_willis: ok | 11:53 |
| jrib | panfist: ah. Then you should describe that in your question to the channel. I don't know about raid | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: whatever makes your router sing with your server. Id make the server use static ip to ease management | 11:54 |
| DaveKong | Is there some way to get better ATI graphic card support than just installing the proprietary driver? Such as using wine to run the windows drivers? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | DaveKong no | 11:54 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: I second that motion | 11:54 |
| panfist | jrib there is nothing kern.log, daemon.log, syslog, messages...strace -p to the rsync process i just blank, like its not doing anything | 11:54 |
| espacious | buildig of an array became slow, there are two arrays being rebuild how can i stop pause one ? | 11:54 |
| DaveKong | ikonia, :( alright thanks | 11:54 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: Not really. Emulating almost never has any luck with hardware rendering | 11:54 |
| espacious | im using mdadm | 11:54 |
| panfist | espacious try "mdadm --stop /dev/mdx" where x is the number of the array | 11:55 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: Proprietary is best your going to get. You could also try the bleeding edge SVN versions but not worth the effort | 11:55 |
| al__ | irc://irc.freenode.net/roundcube | 11:55 |
| ubuntu_ | backing up home dirs... will 'sudo cp /home/* /media/archive/home' get all the files? | 11:56 |
| stibily | Dr_willis: i have managed to mount it now - it was trying to mount to /media/XP, however the folder did not exist, so i created it and now its mounted. but i thought this gets created when its mounted anyway =S | 11:56 |
| espacious | panfist will try the speed droped to almost zero! | 11:56 |
| pc | sudo vudo i know judo --nub | 11:56 |
| jrib | ubuntu_: no | 11:56 |
| daveStyle | ubuntu_: no. it will skip directories I'd imagine | 11:56 |
| stibily | Dr_willis: becos i added a line to my fstab to tell it to automount on startup of ubuntu | 11:56 |
| panfist | if i try to unmount a device, and it says that it's busy, how can i find out what is holding it up | 11:56 |
| jrib | !backups > ubuntu_ | 11:56 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_, please see my private message | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | stibily: no, the mounting folder must already exist | 11:56 |
| daveStyle | ubuntu_: cp -r ............ would be a smarter option | 11:57 |
| === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon | ||
| ubuntu_ | er, yes, I meant cp -r ... thanks | 11:57 |
| stibily | ActionParsnip: ok, somehow it got deleted then, now i know, thanks =) | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | stibily, a mount point does not get 'created' on mounting.. the directory must exist beforhand.. | 11:57 |
| jrib | panfist: http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec6cantkill.html suggests it may be a driver issue. Check the bug tracker maybe | 11:57 |
| espacious | panfist u can force the umount maybe | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | stibily: learning all the time | 11:57 |
| stibily | Dr_willis: ok thank you for your help | 11:57 |
| stibily | =) | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | stibily, some front end tools - DO auto make the directory.. | 11:57 |
| panfist | espacious if i force the umount, i will probably have to resync the array. | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ewww a mount gui, nasty | 11:58 |
| stibily | lol | 11:58 |
| panfist | thanks for the info jrib | 11:58 |
| espacious | panfist maybe | 11:58 |
| DaveKong | what graphic cards are best supported in Linux? | 11:58 |
| sdfwf | alright, why does nfs die when i reboot? just prints mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered | 11:58 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: just a silly question my router is dhcp my eth1 is at this point due to recent changes also dhcp eth0 is static, is changing the dhcp into static on my eth0 going to have an impact on the rest of the devices connected to eth1 | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | DaveKong: id say nvidia | 11:59 |
| stibily | Dr_willis: think im going to try a restart and just make sure that it continues to mount ok, thnx again | 11:59 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: nVidia | 11:59 |
| ubuntu_ | so for archival purposes, tar is a better option than cp? | 11:59 |
| Toznoshio | DaveKong, nvidia's proprietary drivers are pretty darn good | 11:59 |
| pc | ubuntu is alot easier then windows now, it downloads and installs for u with the handy add remove program | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: you can have them both on static as long as they have different ip addresses within your subnet | 11:59 |
| daveStyle | ubuntu_: yep tar.gz is probably the best best | 11:59 |
| DaveKong | ok, thanks everyone... maybe I can sell my ATI and find a navida card for a decent price on newegg | 11:59 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: ok thanks | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | pc, learn to use synaptic, dont rely on the 'add/remove' tool.. its a limited synaptic :) | 12:00 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: is your ATI _that_ bad ? | 12:00 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks daveStyle | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: youo can even have the pc on 2 networks if the system pluggd into 2 routers | 12:00 |
| daveStyle | ubuntu_: np | 12:00 |
| panfist | jrib ok i read that but i'm not 100% clear...i think i can eliminate the problem of faulty hardware because /proc/mdstat tells me the array is fine. i think i can eliminate badly written software because rsync is supposedly very mature. if it's a bad driver, does that mean mdadm is bad, or my motherboard SATA controller driver is bad, or it could be either? or something else? | 12:00 |
| zer0o | hi is there any web master here? i want to put a table in my ws with rounded corners... is that possible? i searched it up on the internet and tried many ways but i couldn't find anything... any suggestion? | 12:01 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, movies are pretty choppy and look more Pixelated than they should, haven't tried playing any 3d intense games | 12:01 |
| jrib | panfist: don't know | 12:01 |
| daveStyle | movies shouldn't really be choppy. Try disabling your 3D effects | 12:01 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: at this point my setup is like this isp <=> dlink <=> server <=> linksys router/wifi accesspoint | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | do i see compiz breaking MORE stuff, shock | 12:02 |
| alsuren | does anyone know how gnome's alt-f2 works? I want a command that will pop up that dialogue, to replace xfrun4 (which is shit) | 12:02 |
| tarelerulz | Is there any program that add meta tags to mp4 ? | 12:02 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: are the movies flickering ? | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !info id3tag | tarelerulz | 12:03 |
| ubottu | tarelerulz: Package id3tag does not exist in intrepid | 12:03 |
| jrib | alsuren: it's part of gnome-panel | 12:03 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, yes they do now and then | 12:03 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, not constantly | 12:03 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: Did you try disabling desktop effects ? | 12:03 |
| alsuren | jrib: It only seems to be brought up if metacity is selected as the window manager. Is there a dbus hook to bring it up? | 12:03 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, I had them disabled before, I have them set to "Normal" atm | 12:04 |
| sdfwf | GARRHH!! WTF!!! nfs worked fine, i reboot, now it's all over RPC ERRORS!! | 12:04 |
| tarelerulz | The reason I want to add tags to mp4 is I want to rip my dvd into that container format . Been looking and geting no where . | 12:04 |
| Toznoshio | alsuren: "gnome-panel --sm-client-id default1" | 12:04 |
| jrib | alsuren: that's not true. Metacity does not need to be running. I don't know if there is a dbus hook that will bring it up | 12:04 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: I have problems with movies on my ATI card when effects are enabled | 12:05 |
| sdfwf | this a common ubuntu issue? or linux? | 12:05 |
| pepie34 | Hi, I want to use hdmi audio output on a intel gma card, I managed to enable it but i only get one channel to work (left but not right) ? I've check all the mixing parameters | 12:05 |
| pepie34 | Have you any idea ? | 12:05 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, ok I will try turning them off | 12:05 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: give it a go | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | pepie34: is the sound set to centre? is the cable ok? | 12:06 |
| alsuren | Toznoshio: what's that supposed to do? I get A panel is already running. | 12:06 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: this is the current layout http://pv-global-it.com/brol/network_layout.JPG | 12:06 |
| pepie34 | it is a hdmi cable so it is transmùitted in digital form | 12:06 |
| pepie34 | so no analog cable problem | 12:07 |
| tominglis | does anyone know where i can find the 2.6.24-18.8-xen kernel? | 12:07 |
| tominglis | the current 2.6.24-21-xen kernel is murder, and this one has been recommended to me | 12:07 |
| CastilleV | K, does anyone know how to remove wine? I installed mIRC to see if it would work, then removed wine. In my panel it shows the wine folder and MiRC even though I uninstalled it. | 12:07 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, Turning down all the 3d settings and turning off effects seems to have improved videos though still skips a frame here and there | 12:08 |
| elc | someone solved the tearing problem when watching videos with ati cards? | 12:08 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: Humm, I only have the problem with the effects enabled | 12:08 |
| Dr_willis | CastilleV, that has nothing todo wih removing 'wine' but uninstalling the windows app using wine.. those icons come from some .Dirctory inyour users home dir.. i forget where.. but you can find/remove them there.. | 12:08 |
| panfist | hey, so i rebooted, and it didn't go down all the way cleanly. after all the normal rebooting output, i got a blinking cursor in the top left corner of a blank screen. i waited five minutes and did a hard reset...and now the array has to resync | 12:08 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: can't help you anymore than that :( | 12:08 |
| scientes_ | http://pastebin.com/m5d714b89 | 12:08 |
| bastid_raZor | how do i set my location for the CLI weather-util package? | 12:09 |
| scientes_ | my kernel post install isnt working | 12:09 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: The application is probably removed but associated files are generally always left | 12:09 |
| DaveKong | daveStyle, ok your help is appreciated | 12:09 |
| daveStyle | DaveKong: :) | 12:09 |
| alsuren | Toznoshio: I already have a gnome panel running: I'm only using xfwm4 because metacity is a shit window manager (doesn't do vertical/horizontal maximisation) and compiz doesn't work on my rage128 | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: ok, which server is runng the ssh server? | 12:09 |
| CastilleV | Dr_willis So I can't get rid of the mIRC files? | 12:09 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: Yep | 12:09 |
| CastilleV | Let alone the wine folder showing in my applications menu? | 12:09 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: Generally removing any program will leave the config files on the system | 12:09 |
| CastilleV | Ah well.....Oh well. | 12:10 |
| elc | someone solved the tearing problem when watching videos with ati cards? | 12:10 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: Usually in the ~/.wine folder or whatever | 12:10 |
| CastilleV | That would explain a bit. | 12:10 |
| CastilleV | What about .deb files? | 12:10 |
| jeancalvin | I accidentaly closed gedit without saving some texts. Are some backup files available somewhere on my computer? | 12:10 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: just 1 server the one just after the dlink | 12:10 |
| scientes_ | http://pastebin.com/m5d714b89 how do i get kernel postinstall to work? | 12:10 |
| daveStyle | "ls -la" in your home folder and you might see some directories for stuff you don't have installed anymore | 12:10 |
| jrib | jeancalvin: check for hidden files in the directory | 12:10 |
| jeancalvin | jrib: thakn | 12:11 |
| soreau | ! paste | 12:11 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:11 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: They will remain whereever after the application has been install/uninstalled | 12:11 |
| jeancalvin | where's gedit folder | 12:11 |
| jeancalvin | ? | 12:11 |
| elc | someone solved the tearing problem when watching videos with ati cards? | 12:11 |
| CastilleV | And uh, is there a way to move a directory to the trash folder? Or better yet, a way to empty folders? | 12:11 |
| CastilleV | VIA terminal | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: yeah id set eth0 to static | 12:11 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: okk thanks | 12:11 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: I've only ever deleted it completely | 12:12 |
| daveStyle | elc: You have a link for that fix ? | 12:12 |
| elc | hehe nope i have no fix ;) i want that fixed among other things .... -_- | 12:13 |
| CastilleV | Ok. Then. So it stays.....*sigh* damn wine folder and user curiosity...... | 12:13 |
| daveStyle | elc: Oh right. I'll second that | 12:13 |
| sidewalk | can i get some help with Google Gadgets? | 12:14 |
| daveStyle | CastilleV: You can show hidden files in your file browser and then send it to trash. No terminal required | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | CastilleV, of course you can remove the files | 12:14 |
| sidewalk | i only have 5 Gadgets, how do i get more? | 12:14 |
| jrib | jeancalvin: I mean in the directory that your file was in | 12:14 |
| elc | to bad just wanted thave a linux for internet mail icq etc... and as media player...but thats to mutch.. | 12:14 |
| jeancalvin | jrib: oh | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | CastilleV, now if you know how.. is the big question.. time to learn some shell basics? the icons in the menu seem to come from the ~/.config/menus/applications-merged files on my system | 12:14 |

| tominglis | does anyone know where i can find the 2.6.24-18.8-xen kernel? | 12:14 |

| jrib | alsuren: it does do vertical/horizontal maximization... | 12:15 |
| sidewalk | Currently I only have 5 gadgets in Google Gadget in Ubuntu 8.10. How do I get more Gadgets? | 12:15 |
| CastilleV | Ah! Thanks Dr_Willis! Found it! | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | google gadgets hage their own homepage with 10000000+s of gadgets | 12:17 |
| CastilleV | So now I just delete it then, right? | 12:17 |
| Slart | sidewalk: how did you install google gadgets? | 12:17 |
| Dr_willis | Anyone noticed a oddity in Brasero - you burn a data dvd.. it burns it, ejext it, then tries to 'verify' the disk.. even tho the tray is open? thus the verify fails? | 12:17 |
| Slart | Dr_willis: last time I did a verify it pulled the disc back in.. might be some new "feature" | 12:18 |
| CastilleV | Havent burned a disc. I do know that sometimes when I run the music player it causes my OS to freeze. | 12:18 |
| Finiras | if i install windows vista it will destroy the ubuntu bootloader. can i then fix it by booting from the ubuntu setup disc? | 12:19 |
| jim_p | Finiras, yes and yes | 12:19 |
| Slart | Finiras: yes, you can reinstall grub from a live cd | 12:19 |

| CastilleV | Cause I don't wanna mess anything up. | 12:20 |
| Finiras | jim_p will it automatically add vista to the bootloader too? | 12:20 |

| Slart | jim_p: nope.. it even answered | 12:21 |

| Dr_willis | CastilleV, thats an old url/book.. but its still worth looking at. :) since its free | 12:24 |
| CastilleV | Well, like I wanna know....With the repositories thing.....Is that a safety thing? | 12:24 |
| zetheroo1 | a friend of mine recently asked my why there are security updates for Ubuntu Linux if there is not virus threat ... I was a bit unsure how to answer that | 12:24 |
| CastilleV | Like 8.0.4 came with GIMP 2.4 but 8.10 comes with 2.6 | 12:24 |
| CastilleV | It is a "Stable version" type thing, yes yes? | 12:24 |
| Dr_willis | CastilleV, Safty is one thing.. stable is another.. :) | 12:25 |
| CastilleV | But it IS a *nix thing, right? | 12:25 |
| Dr_willis | CastilleV, not sure whatyou are asking actually.. ubuntu uses the apt packing system.. its an apt thing. :) | 12:25 |
| Dr_willis | !apt | CastilleV | 12:25 |
| elpargo | hi, I remember there was a page that will show you how to do things in ubuntu with screenshots, anyone remembers it's name? | 12:25 |
| ubottu | CastilleV: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 12:25 |
| Slart | zetheroo1: virus for linux are rare.. but you can still get hacked, rootkitted etc | 12:25 |
| Slart | zetheroo1: there are lots of other bad software out there besides viruses | 12:26 |
| deoks | zetheroo1: Because all security threats isn't viruses. | 12:26 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo1, memory leaks, and other crash-bug fix;s - ask him if EVERY windows update is due to viruses? | 12:26 |
| zetheroo1 | Slart: is that like malware or spyware or soemthing? | 12:26 |
| CastilleV | So wait, no matter WHAT version you use, you can update your stuff through APT? | 12:26 |
| jak_ | hi to all | 12:26 |
| daviem | hi guys, I'm having problems with pulseaudio when the PCM volume is set the zero (mute) - when audio is playing, but PCM muted I get crackling/static noises rather than silence. There seem to be quite a few bug reports about this in ubuntu. Is this a known issue? | 12:26 |

| jrib | daviem: if there are bug reports, it's a know issue, no? | 12:27 |
| CastilleV | I use Acer Jak_ | 12:27 |

| benoitc | hi | 12:28 |

| jak_ | CastilleV: i am searching for a aspire one user, because i need some help with its distribution | 12:28 |
| Slart | !rar | sushiX | 12:28 |
| ubottu | sushiX: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 12:28 |

| farciarz84 | I have a problem with windows in ubuntu - after a while of working they become BLACK (all, althoug instide) in the full-screen | 12:30 |
| Slart | sidewalk: how did you install google gadgets? | 12:30 |
| jrib | alsuren: well it works on the whole title bar in metacity | 12:30 |
| xukun | My usb disk does not auto mount. I have to manually mount it. Is there I way to do this? | 12:30 |
| alsuren | jrib: it's something that kwin, compiz and xfwm4 all do, but not metacity | 12:30 |
| farciarz84 | xukun: fstab | 12:30 |
| Slart | xukun: hmm.. usually usb disks automount.. do you get any errors in /var/log/syslog when you plug it in? | 12:31 |
| hakr | moo cow chicken man | 12:31 |

| farciarz84 | I have a problem with windows in ubuntu - after a while of working they become BLACK (all, althoug instide) in the full-screen | 12:32 |
| Dr_willis | ham, how did you Install beryl? | 12:32 |
| Slart | ham: beryl? sudo apt-get purge beryl might work | 12:32 |
| farciarz84 | If I made it small content appear normally | 12:32 |
| Dr_willis | ham, or are you using the term Beryl whenyou mean 'compiz' ? | 12:33 |
| ikonia | ham what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 12:33 |
| ham | 8.04.1 LTS | 12:33 |
| xukun | Slart, no errors | 12:33 |
| ikonia | ham: beryl does not exist on 8.04 | 12:33 |
| alsuren | jrib: I want to be able to do "right click on maximise" and it will immediately maximise horizontally | 12:33 |
| ikonia | ham: 8.04 uses compiz-fusion to replace berykl | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | !beryl | ham | 12:33 |
| ubottu | ham: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 12:33 |
| xukun | Dr_willis, its ntfs | 12:33 |
| jrib | alsuren: yes. I have that setup right now | 12:33 |
| ham | i download the beryl and install,but beryl can't work correctly | 12:33 |
| ikonia | ham: beryl should not be installed on 8.04 | 12:34 |
| ikonia | ham: beryl is dead and was replaced with compiz-fusion which is already installed on your 8.04 machine | 12:34 |
| Slart | xukun: I don't really know then.. you can try adding the drive to /etc/fstab, also try running some kind of disk check on the drive, ntfsfix might work | 12:34 |
| alsuren | jrib: ah. Have they fixed that bug then? I thought they'd marked it as "wontfix" | 12:34 |
| Dr_willis | ham, try 'sudo make uninstall' in the bery source directory.. and hope it works.. | 12:34 |
| ham | now I know beryl can't be installed in 8.04.1 | 12:34 |
| jrib | alsuren: almost a year ago, I even contributed a patch for it | 12:34 |

| ikonia | ham how did you install it, | 12:36 |
| Slart | maxb: I just have this vague memory of there being one sound when the computer boots (the drums) and then another sound at login.. I might be wrong though | 12:36 |
| maxb | oh, right, I know what you mean | 12:36 |
| ham | i forgot how to install the beryl | 12:36 |

| bazhang | tominglis, choose from grub, no force needed | 13:11 |
| tominglis | i want to run 2.6.24-18-xen rather than the latest one by default on startup | 13:11 |
| tominglis | for my server | 13:11 |
| ikonia | tominglis in the grub menu if there are 4 options, they are numbered downwards 0 = top, 1=next, 2=next etc, if you change the option default= in the /boot/grub/menu.lst to the number you want to boot, you'll be fine | 13:11 |
| olskolirc | do we have an offtopic room ikonia | 13:12 |
| ikonia | olskolirc #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:12 |

| tominglis | ikonia: thanks, if i update from the repository in the future and a new kernel is downloaded, will i have to reorder the numbers again? | 13:12 |
| ikonia | tominglis not, as the new one comes down the old ones should be bumped down with it, but you will need to keep an eye on it as it can cause the need to manually change it | 13:13 |

| merther | My speed tests state that I should be able to download at around 400kps but I'm getting 20-90kps in 8.10. Does anyone have any suggestions? | 13:14 |
| yogandra | ikonia, when i open next tab the address box remember only one web address i.e. latest one , and button remain same. | 13:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | i have messed up my ubuntu 8.10's audio settings | 13:14 |
| ikonia | yogandra disable all your plugins, restart firefox, see if anything changes | 13:15 |
| bazhang | yogandra, you are opening and closing tabs? | 13:15 |
| Slart | merther: are you downloading from something big? ie can they send at 400kbps ? | 13:16 |
| cham_eleon | Aynone here got eclipse working under 8.10 i always get the error that "xrandr is missing" but on 8.04 before i did not have xrandr.. | 13:16 |
| yao_ziyuan | can i let the system use PulseAudio but an individual application (RealPlayer) use ALSA? | 13:16 |
| Slart | merther: also, make sure not to confuse kbs with kB/s | 13:17 |
| bazhang | yao_ziyuan, real player does that already, no setting needed | 13:17 |
| tominglis | ikonia: if i put 'savedefault' after the kernel i want, and change default to 'saved' will that keep the correct kernel even after upgrades, providing it isn't deleted? | 13:18 |
| vorsprung | which ubuntu or debian package has lint for C programs in it? | 13:18 |
| ikonia | tominglis not %100 on that option to be honsest | 13:18 |
| yogandra | ikonia, I have done. But problem remain same. | 13:18 |
| ikonia | honest | 13:18 |
| ikonia | yogandra: I have no idea | 13:18 |
| bazhang | yogandra, one window or many tabs | 13:18 |

| vorsprung | Slart: nope.. what is synaptic? | 13:19 |
| bazhang | yogandra, one window or many tabs | 13:19 |
| vorsprung | Slart: I did apt-cache search lint | 13:19 |
| Slart | vorsprung: the ubuntu gui package manager.. you can use apt-cache too | 13:19 |
| yogandra | bazhang, Promble i am getting is firefox open in full screen and button remain in grayed form. | 13:20 |

| bazhang | yogandra, what is your native language | 13:23 |
| Slart | vorsprung: according to this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis), splint is an open source version of lint | 13:23 |
| vorsprung | Slart: I'm looking at the debian package list and I'm not seeing it there either :) | 13:23 |

| pc | i got a matrix theme going on | 13:24 |
| pc | lol | 13:24 |
| yogandra | bazhang, For what reason you want me to chose any one option. | 13:24 |
| acp_ | !vlookpback | 13:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vlookpback | 13:24 |
| Slart | vorsprung: you're welcome | 13:24 |
| acp_ | !vloopback | 13:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vloopback | 13:24 |
| pc | no more windoze lag......... :) | 13:24 |
| bazhang | yogandra, you open in many tabs, correct? | 13:24 |
| pc | how do I add a folder to my path | 13:25 |
| pc | so I can make a shortcut? | 13:25 |

| Wakatake | hi, is ubuntu remix free? | 13:25 |
| === maki_ is now known as makies | ||
| bazhang | yogandra, then there will be no forward and back | 13:25 |
| === njpatel is now known as njpatel_away | ||
| LjL-Temp | Wakatake: yes | 13:25 |
| PrimeHaxor | plz anyone know how to install ubuntu desktop 8.04 in multiple computers via network? | 13:26 |
| yogandra | bazhang, yes. Refresh and stop too. | 13:26 |
| jrib | pc: use ~/bin | 13:26 |
| Wakatake | is it as easy to install as the normal ubuntu? | 13:26 |
| bazhang | yogandra, that is normal. | 13:26 |
| LjL-Temp | Wakatake: no | 13:26 |
| pc | jrib: is it possible to put digital vibrance on max on linux | 13:26 |
| LjL-Temp | Wakatake: the netbook remix is a set of packages, i don't *think* they have an ISO yet, although that might have changed since i last checked | 13:26 |
| keyhack | I'm going to put together a ubuntu system and I found a mobo I like a lot, but I don't think it has built in wifi, so what PCI wireless card works well with linux? | 13:27 |
| Wakatake | LjL-Temp, aww okie hopefully an iso will be out | 13:27 |
| Diego_BR | Anybody have LPI 117-199 certification? | 13:27 |
| LjL-Temp | Wakatake, still it's not that hard - it's a matter of installing a couple of packages. Netbook Remix is really just an alternative interface for the desktop | 13:27 |
| bazhang | Diego_BR, this is not the channel for that | 13:27 |
| yogandra | bazhang, but refresh and stop button are also grayed | 13:28 |
| Diego_BR | I'm new in the freenode server. what the channel for this? | 13:28 |
| bazhang | !irc | Diego_BR check the last link | 13:28 |

| pc | LjL: how do I open file explorer | 13:30 |
| LjL | pc: i know of no program called "file explorer" | 13:30 |
| pc | lol something to see my files | 13:30 |
| pc | in folders like desktop etc | 13:30 |
| yogandra | Slart, How to start new profile | 13:30 |
| LjL | pc: the "System" menu. | 13:30 |
| LjL | pc: or "Resources", don't remember what it's called. anyway, the menu after "Applications" | 13:30 |
| bazhang | pc what is digital vibrance | 13:30 |
| Slart | yogandra: you start firefox from a command line with special switch.. something like firefox -showprofilemenu | 13:31 |
| ziroday | LjL: Places? | 13:31 |
| Slart | yogandra: try firefox --help for the exact name of the switch.. I can't remember it | 13:31 |
| LjL | ziroday: right. see, i'm not using GNOME, i go by memory | 13:31 |
| Slart | bazhang: I think it's some kind of graphics setting.. increases colour or something | 13:32 |
| bazhang | Slart, thanks :) | 13:32 |
| pc | ljl: i dont have a nvidia card. Its a ml3109 gateway notebookk........ how do i change digital vibrance for a onboard card | 13:32 |
| LjL | pc: oh, i thought Digital Vibrance was an Nvidia-specific term... | 13:32 |
| Slart | it might very well be.. I've only used nvidia cards for the last 10 years or so | 13:33 |
| LjL | well, i can only say that i can see no results in Google for "digital vibrance" unless related to nvidia cards | 13:34 |
| bazhang | pc sans a nvidia card, you cant | 13:34 |
| yaoyanze | how can i get a chinese file about xubuntu? | 13:34 |
| bazhang | yaoyanze, what do you mean a chinese file | 13:35 |
| yaoyanze | a manual with chinese charactor version | 13:35 |
| yaoyanze | because i am chinese,not very good at english,only abc english | 13:35 |
| bazhang | yaoyanze, a manual for what | 13:35 |
| LjL | yaoyanze: try asking in #ubuntu-cn | 13:36 |
| yaoyanze | like basic system manager skill ,how to optimize my own os | 13:36 |
| acp_ | can can any one help me how to fix this FATAL: Module vloopback not found. | 13:36 |
| LjL | acp_: more context please | 13:36 |
| yaoyanze | it's my first play in this chat room, | 13:37 |
| bazhang | yaoyanze, not sure; you could just take the english one and run it through babelfish or google translator | 13:37 |
| yaoyanze | yes,i found that "fish" is a more friendly shell,for me | 13:38 |
| bazhang | yaoyanze, but probably best bet would first ask in /join #ubuntu-cn | 13:38 |
| acp_ | oh sorry, Im using flashcam to make my webcam work in my laptop,this is working before but I dont know why now I get FATAL: Module vloopback not found. when running flashcam -L | 13:38 |
| LjL | acp_: is this an eeepc by any chance? | 13:39 |
| yaoyanze | ubuntu-cn has little good files,especially for basic student like me, | 13:39 |
| acp_ | LjL,: its fujitsu esprimo | 13:39 |
| Slart | acp_: seems like you'll have to compile vloopback yourself | 13:39 |
| Slart | acp_: if the ubuntu forum threads I've found are accurate | 13:40 |
| LjL | acp_: ok, i asked because i've seen this problem on google exclusively with eeepc's. however, it's probably a rather flashcam-specific problem, and it seems to always relate to flashcam too | 13:40 |
| jfreekao | Does anybody here know how to fix problems with SigmaTel in Intrepid | 13:40 |

| Dr_willis | kevin__, proberly best to install vlc and configure the system to use it.. and leave totem alone | 13:44 |
| el | kevin try to deactivate smooth scrolling | 13:44 |
| LjL | kevin__: if you remove it, you'll also remove the "ubuntu-desktop" package, which would be better left where it is | 13:44 |
| LjL | kevin__: can't you just, err, use VLC while leaving totem installed? ;) | 13:44 |

| sudobash | so it looks like the problem that caused the Xorg crash was that Xserver didnt know which video adapter to use even though there is just one there are 2 BusID's for it and I had to specify which one I wanted to use or it failed on trying to find a screen... | 13:59 |

| sudobash | i guess the devs know that a lot of people when upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 are getting multiple display drivers shown in lspci so you have to take the BusID from one of these and input it into your xorg.conf | 14:14 |

| LjL | c0re_, the bug report i posted has a solution | 14:43 |
| Nergoth` | guys, I have question | 14:43 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml: is this a fresh install, or has it been running for a while? | 14:43 |
| avarus | nazim, http://www.ubuntu.de | 14:44 |
| Nergoth` | Debian vs Gentoo vs Fedora vs CentOS vs FreeBSD? What for the server? | 14:44 |
| marcelo_ | hello | 14:44 |
| bazhang | nazim, please stop. no chatting here | 14:44 |
| avarus | Nergoth`, ubuntu server | 14:44 |
| bazhang | Nergoth`, wrong channel | 14:44 |
| mynyml | ConstantineXVI: pretty fresh, but it worked fine until i tried a dual monitor setup | 14:44 |
| marcelo_ | does anyone know why the Monitor Settings Applet show the incorrect refresh rate? It shows 50Hz even though I'm using 60Hz (the monitor built-in status menu shows 60Hz) | 14:44 |
| nazim | i understand it | 14:44 |
| marcelo_ | any hints? | 14:44 |
| marcelo_ | :) | 14:44 |
| Xsss4hell | hololight but howto install it on ubuntu?? | 14:44 |
| Nergoth` | avarus, I have ubuntu server now and I'm disappointed, too many bugs and there is no experimental repository | 14:45 |
| Xsss4hell | hololight I don't know howto install Pear packages in ubuntu | 14:45 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml: you could add "compiz --replace" into a startup item in sys/prefs/sessions | 14:45 |
| mynyml | ConstantineXVI: yea i have. feels hackish though.. | 14:45 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml: but that's a bit of a duct-tape solution if you ask me | 14:45 |
| ForsakenSoul | n8tuser ok I tried it ... the only difference between the connecting and unconnecting is that the access point is different | 14:45 |
| nazim | if i instal in my pc its benifit | 14:45 |
| ForsakenSoul | everything else including the frequency bit rate and signal lever are the same | 14:46 |
| avarus | Nergoth`, mhh...I normally use the distri I can handle myself best | 14:46 |
| nazim | i check ubuntu from web | 14:46 |
| avarus | Nergoth`, and that is slackware | 14:46 |
| ForsakenSoul | including the noise level and ip's etc | 14:46 |
| Nergoth` | avarus, there is no bugs in security but in functionality. theoretically ubuntu have newer packets than debian, but in Debian I don't have any problems | 14:46 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml: try making a new user (or starting a guest session) and see what happens | 14:46 |
| audunh | noob question, what is the path of the ubuntu trashcan? | 14:46 |

| Grimm_ | is there any way to reset the network settings to the factory defaults? other than reinstalling ubuntu | 14:49 |
| SpriteSODA | i've added a driver to the blacklist including all of his aliases and it stills shows up in ndiswrapper -l | 14:49 |
| ikonia | Grimm_ factory default is everything on raoming | 14:49 |
| ikonia | roaming | 14:49 |
| ConstantineXVI | SpriteSODA: you need to pull the driver from ndiswrapper by "ndiswrapper -e driver" | 14:49 |
| Nergoth` | #unix.com | 14:49 |
| Nergoth` | lol :) | 14:49 |
| ikonia | Nergoth why is that funny ? | 14:50 |
| SpriteSODA | its not the driver i installed with ndis, its a driver conflicting with i | 14:50 |
| SpriteSODA | it* | 14:50 |
| ikonia | Nergoth`: this channel is for ubuntu support only - is there an ubuntu issue/question ? | 14:50 |
| SpriteSODA | (i suspect it is anyway) | 14:50 |
| nazim | its | 14:50 |
| Nergoth` | ikonia, I just forgot to write /join :) | 14:50 |
| hololight | SpriteSODA: by blacklisting ndiswrapper all you have done is kept that driver from loading... when you run the program ndiswrapper -l you are telling ndiswrapper to tell you what is inside it. | 14:50 |

| nyarla | i updated hardy to intrepid last week, and i'm still unable to mount password protected samba shares with nautilus. It was working nicely with hardy. What sould I do? | 14:51 |
| SpriteSODA | nono i didnt blacklist ndiswrapper | 14:51 |
| SpriteSODA | i blacklisted a driver named p54usb | 14:51 |
| SpriteSODA | which i suspect is conflicting with my ndis driver | 14:52 |
| ForsakenSoul | hey n8tuser are you still here ? | 14:52 |
| hololight | Sprite: try removing ssb as well | 14:52 |
| SpriteSODA | because my connection gets disconnected after a while and cant reconnect | 14:52 |

| SpriteSODA | still no good | 14:53 |
| vikkio_ | ehi guys | 14:53 |
| Grimm_ | anyone? i have no idea how to reverse the modifications i made, since i just followed a tutorial | 14:53 |
| vikkio_ | someone know how to install glx driver on intrepid ibex? | 14:53 |
| SpriteSODA | where can i find the best driver for my usb adapter for ndiswrapper? | 14:53 |
| LjL | Grimm_: perhaps someone could help if you told us which tutorial you followed | 14:53 |
| hololight | Sprite: did you check lsmod to ensure that they really aren't there? | 14:53 |
| hololight | Sprite: the companies website | 14:54 |
| ConstantineXVI | SpriteSODA: your driver CD | 14:54 |
| vikkio_ | someone know how to install driver intel glx? | 14:54 |
| rue7363 | Grimm_: which tutorial? if you can't tell which steps you have done, how should we know how to reverse them? | 14:54 |
| SpriteSODA | i used the driver cd :( | 14:54 |
| Grimm_ | just a minute | 14:54 |
| SpriteSODA | so it must be conflicts then | 14:54 |
| anubis | Has anyone ever seen where the fonts in a menu or occasional website look like they're "Smudged" ? | 14:54 |
| ConstantineXVI | SpriteSODA: what card? | 14:54 |
| hololight | Sprite: then chances are good that it is not the problem | 14:54 |
| Grimm_ | can i post a link | 14:54 |
| rue7363 | Grimm_: yes | 14:54 |
| hololight | Sprite: when you onnection dies, can you connect to a different network? or is it totally dead till reboot? | 14:55 |
| LjL | Grimm_: i just asked you for one, so yes | 14:55 |
| Grimm_ | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html | 14:55 |
| Grimm_ | this is what i did | 14:55 |
| SpriteSODA | totaly dead | 14:55 |
| SpriteSODA | in lsmod they're gone | 14:55 |
| sliverchair | music is still playing, but I already closed rhythmbox, also checked system monitor | 14:55 |
| Grimm_ | im sure i did something wrong | 14:55 |
| sliverchair | how do stop it? | 14:55 |
| SpriteSODA | but ndiswrapper is '0' under Used | 14:55 |
| SpriteSODA | :S | 14:55 |
| mysteryc | Help with Recordmydesktop. | 14:55 |

| anubis | Has anyone ever seen where the fonts in a menu or occasional website look like they're "Smudged" ? | 14:55 |
| hololight | Sprite: sift through lsmod to be sure that nothing else is loading.... i have had problems with blacklist just not doing the job and things like ssb loading anyway | 14:56 |
| mysteryc | I can't get it to work properly. I am trying to record but I don't know how. I can't find it in the Applications menu, :s | 14:56 |

| SpriteSODA | they're not in lsmod | 14:56 |

| nomingzi | pls advise me a model of LinkSys Wireless adapter (USB) to work well in Ubuntu, or where can i find a list of Ubuntu supported hardware list ? | 14:56 |

| hololight | Sprite: under linux, has it ever worked? | 14:57 |
| SpriteSODA | nope | 14:57 |
| LjL | Grimm_: to reverse what you did, type the following in a terminal: sudo apt-get --purge remove apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq ; sudo sed -i.bak 's/net.ipv4.ip_forward.*/net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0/' etc/sysctl.conf | 14:57 |
| SpriteSODA | im in linux right now and i got connection but its gonna get offline anymoment i guess | 14:57 |

| bobJR | does anyone have a answer to this | 15:04 |
| Dwade09 | hi ikonia | 15:04 |
| Zzeiss | anubis: smudgy-looking fonts mean that the font is not one that you have, so the interpolator is doing the best they can, | 15:04 |
| Vallhalla82 | !ssh | 15:04 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 15:04 |

| the_wise1 | i wanna use ssh to login remotely to my computer at home..like remote desktop | 15:05 |
| Zzeiss | anubis: the fix is to change either the screen resolution or the font till you get pretty results, | 15:05 |
| DerKleidersack | Sorry, is there any way to get the nformation, which HW uses which driver (module)? | 15:05 |
| SpriteSODA | but wlancfg is working | 15:05 |
| hololight | Sprite: hold on, ill take a look | 15:05 |
| SpriteSODA | donno what to do with it | 15:05 |
| SpriteSODA | ok | 15:05 |
| Guest86417 | install wireless driver(ath5k) in ubuntu 8.10 | 15:05 |
| hololight | Sprite: pull that driver | 15:06 |
| fosco_ | the_wise1: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto | 15:06 |
| rue7363 | the_wise1: ssh does not give you remote desktop. you can forward single X applications through it, though | 15:06 |
| bobJR | i guess ill figure it out myself like i always do thanks for the help anyway it sucks to have to overwrite the file so many times because it won't resume | 15:06 |
| mprem | wassup | 15:06 |
| mprem | exit | 15:06 |
| * bobJR idles gonna figure this out | 15:06 | |
| sudobash | i love how the new sshd tells you complete system info when you login | 15:06 |

| SpriteSODA | remove? | 15:07 |
| savid | Anyone here run dual monitors w/ ibex? I have one panel w/ a window list on each screen. On hardy, when I moved a window to a screen, it showed up in that screen's window list. Now, on ibex, both window lists only show the windows from the left screen. It never shows windows from the right screen. Any ideas?? | 15:07 |
| hololight | Sprite: yes | 15:07 |
| the_wise1 | hows does that work | 15:07 |
| SpriteSODA | kk | 15:07 |
| rue7363 | hololight: you can also use ssh to forward arbitrary tcp ports | 15:07 |
| SpriteSODA | btw it has yet to disconnect im now confused :S maybe the blacklisting did the trick | 15:07 |
| rue7363 | hololight: so no need for vpn | 15:07 |
| DerKleidersack | SpriteSODA: Sorry? Do have you meant my question? | 15:07 |
| khanm78 | ill come back later when its not as bussy | 15:07 |

| rue7363 | khanm78: it's always that busy here | 15:08 |
| hololight | yes, but setting up a vpn may perhaps be an easier option in this case... | 15:08 |
| hololight | such as hamachi or the like | 15:08 |
| evan_ | ok i got internet working!! i can ping google.. but i still cant browse... hows that? | 15:08 |
| rue7363 | hololight: no, because it needs root privs. ssh does not. | 15:08 |

| khanm78 | lol rue7363 i was on last night 2am uk time was slower | 15:08 |
| NET||abuse | when i select force version to the medibuntu ffmpeg, it keeps teeling ffmpeg dependancies: libavcodec1d and libavformat1d, are only virtual packages and can't be installed, where can i get these? | 15:09 |
| the_wise1 | how can i connect to my pc at home while at school? | 15:09 |
| hololight | Sprite: ok, waiting game i guess | 15:09 |

| JonathanEllis | psusi: Its a configuration recommended by http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#How_to_make_a_separate_Grub_Partition_ and http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/grub/grubpartition.htm#_Why_Dedicate. Its basically because I want to multi boot. Grubs files are in /boot/grub on my grub partition so when that partition is mounted as /boot/grub then grubs files are actually in /boot/grub/boot/grub. I think this is to deal with [quote from psus | 15:44 |
| julle_ | where is alsa config localted? | 15:45 |
| psusi | JonathanEllis: ahh, when mounted it needs to be in /boot/grub | 15:45 |
| Tapout | Joker_-_, how do you resolve a new UUID? | 15:45 |
| Tapout | or lookup the uuid for /dev/sdb1 ? | 15:45 |
| psusi | JonathanEllis: why not put all of /boot on that partition thoguh? | 15:46 |
| Joker_-_ | julle_: all config files are in /etc/... so it should be in /etc/alsa | 15:46 |

| JonathanEllis | Oh, but it works perfectly on another machine mounted as /boot/grub/boot/grub. Once the OS has booted, the grub files are not used again anyway so it doesnt even need to be mounted by the operating system - I just mount it for convenience so I can easily edit menu.lst if necessary. The first time I specified root as (hd0,0) because I thought it needed the location of /boot/grub rather than /boot. Here I didnt get this error 23. | 15:48 |

Now it works - only it seems the root statement in the grub terminal interface is actually looking for the partition containing /boot/grub.

| erUSUL | pisecx: install cpufrequtils | 16:15 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: would "nice" be of any use in that case? | 16:16 |
| sipior | pisecx: is the cpu genuinely idling, or is it in i/o wait? | 16:16 |
| sipior | pisecx: better: just paste the relevant line from top :-) | 16:16 |

| dvsoftwa2e | anyone? i can't move mouse nor type on keyboard after upgrading to interpid :/ | 16:18 |
| ndf | dtolj: i'm pretty sure some samba utils replace those | 16:18 |
| musikgoat|main | ndf: either way, its not a bad thing really, you just have to know where yours is at in comparison to everyone else | 16:18 |
| mo | #gentoo | 16:18 |
| sipior | Kevin^^: given how cheap disk space is, it's not really terribly useful, and sometimes you find yourself removing configuration files that would have proven useful in the future. | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | dtolj: i think samba has a compatible *net* command | 16:18 |
| dtolj | thanks | 16:19 |
| erUSUL | dtolj: man net | 16:19 |
| ndf | musikgoat|main: yeah i just thought that was standard, every linux distro i've ever used has been /usr/home/ till i saw ubuntu server over ssh on my friend's box | 16:19 |

| vladtsepesh1984 | hi everibody | 16:22 |

| D-- | Olmeca is some good stuff. | 16:24 |
| musikgoat|main | naf: that would probably be in xorg.conf, you can change the settings, find the model of the mouse, and google it with intrepid and jumping, nad see if there are any hits | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | naf: in linux Xserver controls the mouse and keyboard | 16:24 |
| pisecx | Joker_-_: I press d and changed the delay ) | 16:24 |

| D-- | Ease off on the punctuation and restate your question | 16:25 |
| JonathanEllis | vladtsepesh1984: In windows it still downloads it. But it stores it in a temporary folder without telling you and then displays it in internet explorer. Only problem with this is you end up with many temporary file | 16:25 |

| pisecx | One more question, please. One man, not me, was installing ubuntu on his job. He has set proxy server. Now he is at home. He has turned it off via menu. System - Preferences - Proxy, but seems like it is still working, so he can not connect to internet. | 16:33 |
| jun_ | i'm not sure | 16:34 |
| Dr_willis | der0b, check the find man pages and examples online.. its possible theres an option for that. | 16:34 |
| jun_ | i'm using a gigabyte mobo. couldn't find a screen for memory | 16:34 |
| der0b | dr_willis, couldn't find anyting (man pages, google) so I stopped here | 16:34 |
| Joker_-_ | jun_: at boot, u are supposed to see things... one of these is a ram total | 16:34 |
| ronald911 | HEllo.... How can I uninstall Ubuntu through windows, as the ADD AND REMOVE uninstall dont work?? | 16:34 |
| Joker_-_ | jun_: unless you have a boot screen that only shows a big useless picture | 16:34 |
| alesan | re | 16:35 |
| jun_ | yeah, i just get a splash screen | 16:35 |
| alesan | I have a annoying bug here; when I "lock" the screen, it will not ask me for a password to unlock it | 16:35 |
| Joker_-_ | jun_: in that case you'd have to configure your bios not to show that splash | 16:35 |
| alesan | so if I simply move the mouse or press a key I will get the screen back, wich is not very secure | 16:36 |
| DecemberWolf | joker: am trying it now, will let you know :D | 16:36 |
| Joker_-_ | jun_: I think you can "escape" that screen, or at least enter bios with "del" | 16:36 |
| DecemberWolf | joker: wish me luck! | 16:36 |
| Joker_-_ | DecemberWolf: good luck ;) | 16:36 |

| cub | Hello... I seem to have given myself a huge problem, and I disparately need help. After trying out and enjoying the global menu applet for a little while, I now want to go back to my default Ubuntu menu. I'm no longer using the global menu, but when trying to use something such as Totem or my file browser, no menu appears. I have tried about a hundred ways to get rid of the global menu, from apt-get remove to "sudo apt-get clean | 16:46 |
| cub | && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y libgtk2.0-0", and nothing seems to get rid of it. So right now, I have no menus, and that is not good. Does anybody know a way to get rid of the global menu gtk-hack? | 16:46 |

I load this VM with the player, which "works" but there are serious performance issues, CPU usage goes to 100% and the VM freezes completely, every few minuttes/seconds.

| william | new X? | 16:56 |
| Dr_willis | cub, 'global' menu ? | 16:56 |
| mfdavid | I updated my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10.. a few errors appered during upgrade, like "can´t uninstall this and thaT'.... now when I try to boot my noteboot I get an "Error 15: file not found"... recovery mode is not working eaither... damm | 16:57 |

| cub | The global menu applite. It acts like the menu in mac. I used it for a while, but now I want to get rid of it so I can have my normal menus back. | 16:57 |
| uhsf | stupid urxvt won't display ❤ | 16:57 |
| mfdavid | erUSUL: yes. Looks like it cant find the kernel... and looks like ubuntu did not updated my kernel list. | 16:58 |
| hejdixon | If a server runs slow, I would see that on the CPU and/or mem usage, right? | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | mfdavid: you can check from a livecd if the kernel is installed and what /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like | 16:59 |
| Dewni | erUSUL: With a good chance of sounding stupid. So I do the next things: build a raid1 in bios, the install and rebuild the initramfs to get directly into my raid. No need for a separate /boot? I guess I need to do that at install time, otherwise I cannot reach the raid after. | 16:59 |
| Dr_willis | cub, if you added an applet to the panel you can right click to remove it.. Unless you ar referging to some other 'global menu' | 16:59 |
| erUSUL | hejdixon: well there is th I/O too disk performance is important too | 16:59 |
| mfdavid | erUSUL: yeah.. ill do it later... no live cd right now... i really needed this notebook today :( /me thinking about moving back to debian testing.. | 17:00 |
| hejdixon | erUSUL: where/how can I get a overview of that? | 17:00 |
| javaJake | hejdixon: it's a GUI application, but I know gkrellm has an I/O monitor | 17:00 |
| erUSUL | Dewni: no; what i was thinking is just put the module name of the raid driver on the file and rebuild the initramfs. hopefully that way the firmwware is included on the ramfs and the machine can boot | 17:00 |
| Myrtti | shinoj: please join #ubuntu-ops | 17:01 |
| erUSUL | Dewni: maybe you can do that chrooting to the install from a livecd (if you can access the raid from a livecd) | 17:01 |
| N-A | erUSUL: So a 5 minute+ freeze every couple of minutes/seconds is to be expected from using ntfs on linux? Also in spite of following affirmation from ntfs-3g.org: When will be the driver ported to the kernel? When it becomes clear that a huge, complex, feature rich and general purpose file system can not be as reliable and well-performing in hybrid space as purely in the kernel. At the moment there are no such strong indications. In fact, more and more experie | 17:01 |
| cub | This should explain what I'm talking about: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ (Yes, I was dumb and ignored the warning.) | 17:02 |
| Dewni | erUSUL: Thanks a lot. I'll give that a try. I guess I did something wrong because I tried with openSUSE as well, which gave exactly the same issue. | 17:02 |

| Myrtti | shinoj: type /join #ubuntu-ops | 17:02 |

| N-A | I've got problem related to NTFS & VMWare player, i've got an NTFS partition where I've got a virtual machine folder. I load this VM with the player, which "works" but there are serious performance issues, CPU usage goes to 100% and the VM freezes completely, every few minuttes/seconds. The problem goes away if I copy the VM to my ext3 partition. Any and all help appreciated. | 18:39 |

| jfreekao | Bullen: Doubt it. Linux wasn't really made for media. | 18:46 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | mwhit74, that is odd, perhaps pulseaudio issues | 18:46 |

| Bullen | thanks | 18:47 |
| Cluber | jrib: Yeah tried that, no seeing it though. | 18:48 |
| jrib | Cluber: might need to restart nautilus | 18:48 |
| jfreekao | hey. I've got a problem with my WiFi. Earlier today I was on here complaining of a sound problem that turned out to be because I installed NDISwrapper. I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 and now my sound works, but my Wireless Internet doesn't. I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 and my components are out of the box. | 18:48 |
| mwhit74 | s0l1dsnak3123: first what are pulseaudio issues second do you think if i uninstall it, it will fix it | 18:48 |
| jrib | jfreekao: confirm that Hardware Drivers does not list Broadcom STA? | 18:48 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | mwhit74, pulseaudio is a technology that allows you to control volumes independantly of programs | 18:49 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | mwhit74, for example if i wanted flash to be quiet, and my music to be loud, i could set them independantly | 18:50 |
| jfreekao | Oh, hey. That's funny. Earlier it wasn't listing it. | 18:50 |
| mwhit74 | s0l1dsnak3123: oh i guess that makes sense | 18:50 |
| jfreekao | Thank you jrib | 18:50 |
| N-A | Or let me rephrase that: What problems if any might I see if I upgrade some package/software without apt-get and what would the procedure be? apt-get remove followed by install of newer version, and if I want to go back what do I do? If i have to install from source, how do I "uninstall"? | 18:50 |
| jfreekao | and if they're still on, the people who helped me earlier | 18:50 |
| mwhit74 | s0l1dsnak3123: yea i get kinda how it would work, so uninstalling could be a solution | 18:50 |
| cr4z3d | s0l1dsnak3123: speaking of pulseaudio, i upgraded from 8.04 and it seems to still be using ALSA. i'd need to re-configure my sound settings in order to use PulseAudio? | 18:50 |
| Great_Gatsby | ok before i used gnomebaker to format a dvd-rw i could put it in the cd drive and it would automatically mount then after i formated i burned an iso to it and now when i put it in it doesnt automatically mount and i can keep burning the same image to the dvd without gnomebaker saying anything | 18:50 |
| Great_Gatsby | its like its not writing the image to the dvd | 18:50 |
| jrib | jfreekao: you need to reboot after you activate by the way (maybe not, but it's the easiest way) | 18:50 |
| jfreekao | I was planning on it anyways | 18:51 |
| Great_Gatsby | and in the device its saying /dev/sr0 and even when i change it to /dev/scd0 it changes back | 18:51 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | mwhit74, however, uninstalling isn't an option because its hard to configure alsa to work (alsa is the old way) | 18:51 |
| jfreekao | :) | 18:51 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | cr4z3d, it should work by default, you shouldn't notice a difference | 18:51 |
| mwhit74 | Great_Gatsby: is your sn a reference to count of monte cristo | 18:51 |
| mwhit74 | s0l1dsnak3123: its not an option because why | 18:52 |
| Mrono | I'm trying to set up tsocks to tunnel wow, but wow isn't wanting to work with it | 18:52 |
| cr4z3d | s0l1dsnak3123: then where is the interface to change sound levels independently between apps? | 18:52 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | cr4z3d, you need to install that "panel" seperately | 18:52 |
| Great_Gatsby | no mwhit74 | 18:52 |
| Great_Gatsby | reference to a book | 18:52 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | mwhit74, it isn't really worth the hassle, as stuff will work :) | 18:53 |
| wilsonnck | Is anyone aware if there is a way to increase the frequency that the update-notifier icon checks for updates? | 18:53 |
| mwhit74 | Great_Gatsby: what book | 18:53 |
| cr4z3d | s0l1dsnak3123: what's the package name? assuming it's in the repos? | 18:53 |
| ikonia | wilsonnck: look at your cron.daily and cron.hourly files | 18:53 |
| mwhit74 | s0l1dsnak3123: ok thanks for the help | 18:53 |

| s0l1dsnak3123 | mwhit74, i believe peerguardian has a client for linux | 18:54 |

| ikonia | N-A: log a bug for it - but you should have a good reason why you want it upgrading not just "because it may fix a problem" | 18:58 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | ruler: depends on what you are trying to play | 18:58 |
| Osiris_ | I'm french (so excuse my bad english), and i've a problem with ubuntu : | 18:58 |
| mithraic | vim, emacs, kate, etc. work fine. | 18:59 |
| mithraic | I'm at a bit of a loss what avenue to try next. | 18:59 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | ruler: if you can play it in "movie player" it should play in mplayer or xine | 18:59 |
| mithraic | Any suggestions for this? Could rebuilding samba from scratch help? | 18:59 |
| ruler | sol1dsnak3123 what do you use? And is it like windows, so can I breake codecs by using multiple or not? | 18:59 |
| tadcan | Is there a way to retrieve files after pressing empty trash? | 19:00 |

| skyfury | ikonia: yes thought that, but after booting into the other os, how to change back? x_X | 19:08 |
| mwhit74 | any suggestions | 19:08 |
| slayton | skyfury, you could create 2 different /boot/grub/menu.lst files, one with the ubuntu to boot as default the other file has the other os... then just swap out the files and reboot | 19:08 |
| ikonia | skyfury you can't | 19:08 |
| ikonia | slayton how would you swp the files in windows | 19:08 |
| slayton | ikonia, install drivers to mount the ext3 partition then create a batch file to make the swap | 19:09 |
| ikonia | slayton: then you may as well just edit the menu.lst | 19:09 |
| mwhit74 | i am having trouble with amarok crashing, no real 'symptoms' just does it randomly, any suggestions also program won't run sometimes | 19:09 |

| Robert17 | I've been using Ubuntu 8.04 for a while, so I decided to re-format and install 8.10 | 19:16 |
| mwhit74 | wos: i am not sure how to set up the duel boot but there is alot of documentation on it, otherwise you will need to boot from an ubuntu disk and you can partition your disk from it. i have done it but its been awhile since i have messed with it | 19:16 |
| skyfury | ikonia , slayton : thanks anyway! i think i have to try that. wish you both a nice evening! | 19:16 |
| Robert17 | but 8.10 won't install or run from LiveCD :( | 19:16 |
| b4|hraban | Hello, it's me again. I recently installed Ubuntu on a small laptop (like the eee) on a 4GB flash drive, one partition: full space, /, ext3 | 19:16 |
| b4|hraban | with the 8.10 netinstaller | 19:16 |
| wos | !dual boot | 19:17 |
| ubottu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 19:17 |
| mwhit74 | wos: good luck and i wish i could be more help but i have to go | 19:17 |
| b4|hraban | unfortunately, I can now not boot :/ it somehow does not recognize the drive as bootable | 19:17 |
| slayton | Robert17, I upgraded to 8.10 but then came back to 8.04. IMO 8.10 doesn't offer much that 8.04 already has | 19:17 |
| Robert17 | maybe I'll install 8.04 again then | 19:17 |
| tinin | could you reccomend me an application to read aloud texts? text to speech | 19:17 |

| b4|hraban | I am pretty sure this is something silly like setting a bootable flag somewhere but I am getting confused about what's what (bootable flag, mbr, bootloader, grub, etc) | 19:18 |

| linny | i have a 3.2 p4 with HT i intend to run intrepid on anyone got any ideas wether to use hyper threading or not ? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | Guest91654 well - look what it's asking for gtk+-2.0.pc and as the pc are development files - what package do you think you need | 19:31 |
| Slart | Oprtz: well.. the simple solution would be to make sure it doesn't use hibernating and such..check the powersaving settings in ubuntu | 19:31 |
| ikonia | linny use it if you can | 19:31 |
| N-A | I've got problem related to NTFS & VMWare player, i've got an NTFS partition where I've got a virtual machine folder. I load this VM with the player, which "works" but there are serious performance issues, CPU usage goes to 100% and the VM freezes completely, every few minuttes/seconds. The problem goes away if I copy the VM to my ext3 partition. Any and all help appreciated. | 19:31 |

| N-A | kitche & ikonia: So the whole, linux can do ntfs is just hype? And what about wubi installing ubuntu on ntfs? Does that mean that ubuntu installed with wubi freezes for more than a minute every couple of minutes if you install it with wubi? I can see that I've got a problem probably with ntfs-3g but, the solution to me isn't just: "Don't do it" I want to do it, for several reasons, I need to get at the same files from windows for one. I need help to get the job | 19:41 |
| pasteeater | byonix: WPA is a type of wireless encryption. Like WEP, but not as easily bypassed. | 19:41 |
| ardchoille | sushiX: perhaps ask in #kubuntu | 19:41 |

| N-A | kitche: an image? That resides where? | 19:42 |
| maxxist | N-A on your ntfs partition | 19:42 |

| mikebeecham | hmmm | 19:45 |
| kitche | N-A: well your not getting what I m telling you the image is booted via the NT bootloader ande has it's own filesystem inside of it hence it doesn't even need to touch the NTFS filesystem on the host | 19:45 |

| Slart | Oprtz: I don't think it costs money though | 19:47 |
| Slart | Oprtz: but this isn't the place to ask about ubuntu ultimate.. I'm sure they have a site somewhere with info | 19:47 |
| N-A | kitche: So the NT bootloader handles ntfs for the kernel? | 19:47 |
| maxxist | Skky you need to sftp into the machine. and then use standard ftp commands to get it | 19:48 |
| Oprtz | Slart: so wat is the difference between ubuntu 8.10 and ultiamte ubuntu ? | 19:48 |
| kitche | N-A: your still not getting what I m saying the image does not touch NTFS | 19:48 |
| maxxist | Skky pm me | 19:48 |
| Oprtz | Slart: ok sorry my fault | 19:48 |
| Slart | Oprtz: once again.. ask the ubuntu ultimate people | 19:48 |
| kitche | Oprtz: ask the ultimate ubuntu people since th | 19:48 |
| kitche | Oprtz since it's not official ubuntu | 19:48 |
| x-kent | anyone know how can I completely blacklist a module ? | 19:48 |
| Oprtz | oki | 19:48 |
| neozen | !blacklist | 19:49 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 19:49 |
| Slart | x-kent: there's a file.. /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I think that lists modules that are blacklisted | 19:49 |
| maxxist | N-A you used wubi for running ubuntu? | 19:49 |
| N-A | kitche: I know I'm not getting what you're saying, I wouldn't be asking if I got it. The image resides on an NTFS partition, ergo something must read and write to the ntfs partition to be able to run anything from that image. And I expected that to be the linux/ntfs-3g | 19:49 |
| Slart | ah.. a blacklist factoid.. nice | 19:49 |
| x-kent | Slart, I added "blacklist rt73usb" but it's still gets loaded once I plugin the card | 19:49 |
| kitche | N-A: no | 19:49 |
| Slart | x-kent: I'm not sure if you need a reboot to make it "stick" | 19:50 |
| x-kent | Slart, reboot didn't help... | 19:50 |
| N-A | kitche: No? how is ntfs integrity maintained then? | 19:50 |
| maxxist | N-A integrity is maintained by not playing with your ntfs partition information. | 19:51 |
| N-A | maxxist: No, I have problems with ntfs/vmware though, and I was trying to figure out how ubuntu installed with wubi had decent performance when vmware accessing ntfs files locks for minutes at a time | 19:51 |
| kitche | N-A: the NT Bootloader loads the image(the image does not touch the NTFS filesystem) the NT Bootloader understands NTFS | 19:51 |
| x-kent | how can I prevent a module from loading if it's already in blacklist file but still loads up ? | 19:51 |
| maxxist | N-A hmm | 19:51 |
| N-A | maxxist: but the image is in the ntfs partition right? | 19:51 |
| maxxist | N-A yes | 19:51 |
| maxxist | N-A but it doesnt see it like that. | 19:51 |
| maxxist | N-A its weird. i am just going to stop talking about this cause i cant even explain it. | 19:52 |
| Oprtz | is there any other program other than truecrypt? its difficult to understand | 19:52 |
| biberao | hello | 19:53 |
| Slart | Oprtz: I don't think there's anything else that does what truecrypt does | 19:53 |
| N-A | kitche: it loads the image, where? Into memory? Obviously not, so then what? It fakes the physical structure and tells linux that the physical disc is the image? So the image can't grow? and is a raw disc on disc, and in the ntfs a fixed reserved area? | 19:53 |
| biberao | how can i get a guided xorg.conf generated? | 19:53 |
| kitche | N-A: it acts like a hard drive | 19:53 |
| Slart | Oprtz: I'm almost sure there isn't anything easier out ther | 19:53 |
| n8tuser | Oprtz-> are you supposed to really understand the internals of it? | 19:53 |
| kitche | N- | 19:53 |
| maxxist | N-A that sounds about right. | 19:53 |
| kitche | N-A: I would tell you just go read up about Wubi it's all explained on it's page | 19:54 |
| Oprtz | n8tuser: is there any guide how to use truecrypt? | 19:54 |
| sushiX | i searched VirtualBox in synaptic package manager i got a lot of options which one should i choose to install it | 19:54 |
| N-A | kitche: will do, thx though :) | 19:54 |
| maxxist | sushiX I suggest the .deb from virtualbox.org | 19:54 |

| J2daosh | you cant actually change the perms f the files, just the mount point | 20:33 |
| Spasysheep | J2daosh no, not dualboot any more - winXP was deleted, but I can't change DATA to ext3 because linux won't resize ntfs | 20:33 |

| === robertcarpenter is now known as robacarp | ||
| hwilde | diffred, goto System->Admin->Synaptic there are plenty of programs | 20:46 |

| omenek | quilzo: and how to do that? i tried dl'in that older ver i want and compiling it, but it errors at make | 20:48 |
| quilzo | omenek: you probably lack dev-packages | 20:48 |
| angel_ | Hi, just wondering is there any bulk video splitter for ubuntu? | 20:48 |
| ghaith | omenek, don't remove wget.. you'll regret that, many scripts in the system use it, i dont' know for dpkg but some distros use it as the defautl download manager, if you want to downgrade it see the options in synaptic, you have the option to install a specific version | 20:48 |
| quilzo | ghaith: he wants to install an older release | 20:49 |
| mitsOS_ | orea | 20:49 |
| quilzo | omenek: why an older one btw? | 20:49 |
| mitsOS_ | ton ekana alla ke pali den mpeni sto home | 20:49 |
| ghaith | quilzo, yes i know, but if he tries to remove the newone first it'll mess up | 20:49 |
| omenek | quilzo: the 1.10 ver supports dl'in from rapidshare :P | 20:49 |
| omenek | quilzo: and the newer one has problems with loggin | 20:50 |
| ghaith | you can try installing the older version in a seperate directory | 20:50 |
| quilzo | ghaith: if he downloaded the source for the older one first, was able to remove wget without apt whining about dependencies, then compiled and installed wget, I see no obvious problems | 20:50 |
| ghaith | download a bin for it, extract somewhere in your home and use it with ./wget | 20:50 |
| sgraham | n8tuser, yes it supports it but when use the gui ie..(Places-> connect to server) method of connecting to a server, if i look in the .gvfs dir it shows nothing even thoug i am able to browser the directorys via the shortcut on my desktop. | 20:51 |
| sgraham | its pretty frustrating | 20:51 |
| ghaith | quilzo, yeah that could work | 20:51 |
| sgraham | i know it has to mount it somewhere and everything i have found says it mounts it to /home/username/.gvfs/ But i dont see anything there. | 20:51 |
| omenek | OK, so i remove wget by synaptic, then compile the older ver from source, is that it? | 20:52 |
| n8tuser | sgraham-> what is gvfs for which os? | 20:52 |
| omenek | But that doesnt work, i cant remove wget without removin other progs | 20:52 |
| quilzo | omenek: I still suggest installing wget OVER what you have now | 20:52 |

| binMonkey | SpriteSODA: errr. i don't know. wait a while till someone who REALLY knows about wireless answers you. it could be the driver or it could be the network application. | 21:07 |
| rmn | erUSUL, right. I looked at that yesterday, but i couldn't interpret anything useful out of it. no huge red flags, but maybe some useful address info for those who know their stuff | 21:07 |

| n00b | alabamahit - i believe you will need 32 bit to use flash unless its now available for 64 bit | 21:15 |
| Non-Orthodox | IndyGunFreak: just dont know how to make the change... | 21:15 |
| mikebeecham | n00b: I have it installed, but it does not run Photoshop CS4 very well, due to limitations on graphic acceleration | 21:15 |

| ghaith | mikebeecham, hmm ok let my install finish then i'll try it | 21:16 |

Audacity and many other "sound editors" can record *sounds* from the microphone, and then let you do editing (copy&paste) as well as several effects on them. some will also let you work with multiple tracks. but those programs won't let you do *music*, they have no concept of "notes" | 21:55 |

| slayton | Slayer, when you install Ubuntu it will re-format your hard drive and ALL the data will be lost (unless you select a more advanced installation configuration) but it should only take 5-10 minutes | 22:02 |
| eraggo | Slayer: yuup :) | 22:02 |
| ConstantineXVI | Slayer: just make sure to pick "use entire disk" or something to that effect | 22:02 |
| LjL | Natsuki: you can't do that... if "every other user not in your group" has access to a file, then your group has access too | 22:02 |
| FruitBasket | can anyone help me with sound? sound card shows up in alsamixer, volume is up, have tried all of the ports on the back of the MB... still nothing. Works in windows, so it's not bad hardware.. | 22:02 |
| kharloss | ardchoille : i have 3 answers but first 2 are similar ... yours not | 22:02 |
| Natsuki | that sounds weird, but itś what i want to accomplish | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | khamael: so, it depends on how much data is written to the disk ;) | 22:03 |
| Slayer | And, it WILL recognize I-pod, right? | 22:03 |
| n00b | fruitbasket - try using pulse audio | 22:03 |
| LjL | Slayer: the Ubuntu installer will let you select whether you want to shrink your Windows partition to make space for Ubuntu, or use the entire drive and wipe Windows | 22:03 |
| Slayer | I-pods* | 22:03 |
| Natsuki | then... 707 is the same as 777 ? | 22:03 |
| FruitBasket | n00b: ? | 22:03 |
| LjL | Slayer: not if it's a Touch | 22:03 |
| ConstantineXVI | Slayer: which gen? | 22:03 |
| dewente | which command tell me what services is running my server ??? | 22:03 |
| n00b | let me get a link fruit | 22:03 |
| Slayer | I have an I-pod classic | 22:03 |
| slayton | dewente, ps -A | 22:03 |
| FruitBasket | n00b: thanks.. I type it at the console, it just exits. | 22:03 |
| Slayer | the metal one | 22:03 |
| Slayer | with 80 gigs of space | 22:03 |
| LjL | Natsuki: i think that basically, yes | 22:03 |
| Natsuki | awww | 22:04 |
| LjL | !ipod | Slayer | 22:04 |
| ubottu | Slayer: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 22:04 |
| eraggo | Slayer: i have 250gb and it took seconds and then started installation | 22:04 |
| Trif_ | hi | 22:04 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Hey guys how do I add other menus to the panel like applications, places, system? | 22:04 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I know you can edit the contents of these menus, but how do you add more menus themselfves? | 22:04 |
| LjL | PassionFRUI7E: you can't | 22:05 |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, Application, Places, System are the only 3 you can add | 22:05 |
| PassionFRUI7E | There is no you can't in linux. | 22:05 |
| PassionFRUI7E | K nm then. | 22:05 |
| dewente | slayton, good ! ... another option ? | 22:05 |
| LjL | PassionFRUI7E: ok, i'll change my answer then - you're completely on your own doing that | 22:05 |
| ConstantineXVI | PassionFRUI7E: not that I know of, but you can add drawers that do more or less the same thing | 22:05 |
| slayton | dewente, i use ps -A | grep <what I'm looking for> | 22:05 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I understand this, you can't always get the easy way =) | 22:05 |
| Natsuki | iĺl explain you why we need that, we need a system user to fully access those files, but members in the same group to not to see the files of the other members, of course the owner have full access, we can't change the owner of files, nor the group of members, and we can add the system user to this users group | 22:06 |
| dewente | slayton, good ! | 22:06 |
| * FruitBasket reads https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 22:06 | |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, if you want to mess around with the panel config you should talk to the people in #gnome | 22:06 |
| zleap | hello | 22:06 |
| LjL | PassionFRUI7E: the likely answer is that you'll have to modify the menu applet sourcecode, or otherwise find a different applet that will provide the same functionality | 22:06 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I did. | 22:06 |
| ConstantineXVI | PassionFRUI7E: r-click panel, add to panel, drawer, drag stuffs into drawer | 22:06 |
| Stargazer | Hey guys, i'm trying to determine my flash drive's location. 'fdisk -l' isn't returning anything. any ideas ? | 22:06 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I am a programmer. I should be fine. | 22:06 |
| === espacious_ is now known as espacious | ||
| PassionFRUI7E | If there's no easy way I'll just add it to my todo list. | 22:06 |
| zleap | cat /etc/fstab | 22:06 |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, ok good luck | 22:06 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Thanks. ##gnome was less helpful than here anyway. | 22:07 |
| zleap | Stargazer: try cat /etc/fstab | 22:07 |
| LjL | PassionFRUI7E: there is a hack to use the panel as a menubar that will show the current application's menus, MacOS style | 22:07 |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, you going to go into the bowels of gnome to do what it is your describing | 22:07 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Of course. | 22:07 |
| LjL | slayton: not really, just a panel applet | 22:07 |
| ConstantineXVI | PassionFRUI7E: What do you need to do to the menus? | 22:07 |
| PassionFRUI7E | It's still dumb that wasn't original functionality. | 22:07 |
| SpriteSODA | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987344 | 22:07 |
| ConstantineXVI | PassionFRUI7E: er, want to do? | 22:07 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Google and some time lol. | 22:07 |
| Natsuki | :( so i can't accomplish that? | 22:08 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Have it say like applications, places, system, programming, website, etc. | 22:08 |
| dewente | how to send a mail.. to other person connected to the same server ? | 22:08 |
| LjL | Natsuki, someone who has the privilege to belong to a given group also has the privilege to *not* belong to it | 22:08 |
| ardchoille | PassionFRUI7E: wouldn't "programming" fall under applications? there's a menu entry for that. | 22:08 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I like icons and all but I don't like a screen full of them. Just curious it's not vital. | 22:08 |
| raven | dewente, sendmail | 22:08 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Programming directeries. | 22:08 |
| PassionFRUI7E | For different projects/languages. | 22:09 |
| ConstantineXVI | PassionFRUI7E: anything that you can make a shortcut to can be put in a drawer on the panel. not sure if you can put seperate labels on them | 22:09 |
| PassionFRUI7E | My menu would drop to the floor. | 22:09 |
| ardchoille | PassionFRUI7E: you can make new directories inside the menus | 22:09 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I can do shortcuts etc. | 22:09 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I want new menus. | 22:09 |
| Stargazer | Zleap, that didn't show me the flash drive's location, it just told me what is being auto-mounted on startup. | 22:09 |
| PassionFRUI7E | IDC about their contents. | 22:09 |
| root | hello.. i m in recovery mode please i need really of help | 22:09 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Menus should not be too long. | 22:09 |
| zleap | can you work out from that which is the flash drive | 22:09 |

| raven | lol irc as root ftw | 22:09 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: | 22:09 |
| raven | u didnt even change ur sn | 22:09 |
| zleap | i thought fstab gave you all file systems | 22:09 |
| roadfish | I used unetbootin to make a live-USB pendrive. That's nice ... but how would I go about customizing the features on live-USB pendrive with, say persistence-between-booting, emacs, MP3-capability, and adding media-files? I'm aiming to create a "home away from home" on a 16GB pendrive. | 22:09 |
| zleap | where as mtab tells you what is mounted | 22:10 |
| LjL | !u | raven | 22:10 |
| PassionFRUI7E | It's dumb to not include that functionality from start, but I'm not complaining they made this excellent software. | 22:10 |
| ubottu | raven: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 22:10 |
| ardchoille | PassionFRUI7E: so make several submenus inside the Programming menu :) | 22:10 |
| Guest33403 | i have do something with the video card | 22:10 |
| Natsuki | LjL: i thought... 707 means user has full acces, group members has NO access, non-group members has FULL access, | 22:10 |
| Guest33403 | how i can put vesa ?? | 22:10 |
| PassionFRUI7E | That's a lot of dumb clicking. I like stuff at my fingertips =) | 22:10 |
| raven | LjL, i don't want to be taken more seriously, thanks, i'll stick to my version of english | 22:10 |
| Guest33403 | dopkg ... what then ?? | 22:10 |
| mgolisch | can someone tell me why the new gnome-session-properties is that limited? where did all those cool feature go, like tell gnome-ession to not restart stuff like nautilus, the whole tab is missing | 22:10 |
| Guest33403 | dpkg .. | 22:10 |
| mgolisch | why is that? | 22:10 |
| grendal_prime | grrrr now i mounted a remote dir with sshfs and for whatever reason the mounted dir does not show up in the kde file browser?? | 22:10 |
| grendal_prime | does that make any sence? | 22:10 |
| ConstantineXVI | while we're talking about mutilating the panel, does anyone know if there's a way to have a vertical taskbar with horizontal buttons? | 22:10 |
| mgolisch | or where would i set that now? | 22:10 |
| TiMiDo | mgolisch, did you do any updates? | 22:10 |
| PassionFRUI7E | You really shouldn't have anything past applications>submenu. Three clicks is too much. | 22:10 |
| Guest33403 | hey ???? | 22:10 |
| raven | grendal_prime, i recommend asking in #kubuntu | 22:11 |
| Guest33403 | please i m in recovery mode | 22:11 |
| mgolisch | TiMiDo: i updated from hardy to intrepid | 22:11 |
| raven | grendal_prime, or #kde | 22:11 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Did you pay for ubuntu? | 22:11 |
| PassionFRUI7E | No. Chill. | 22:11 |
| balrog | is there an official logo/icon for the sage math package? | 22:11 |
| ConstantineXVI | PassionFRUI7E: have you tried drawers yet? | 22:11 |
| TiMiDo | mgolisch, maybe they we're uninstalled do sudo apt-get install gnome | 22:11 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Private me on them ConstantineXVI? | 22:11 |
| Stargazer | Hey guys, i'm trying to determine my flash drive's location. 'fdisk -l' isn't returning anything. any ideas ? | 22:11 |
| Guest33403 | hello ??? | 22:11 |
| grendal_prime | ya, well it has something to do with gnome though. | 22:11 |
| PassionFRUI7E | This is getting a bit offtopic. | 22:11 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: you need to be more specific :) | 22:11 |
| Guest33403 | how i can put vesa ?? | 22:11 |
| Battosai | Hi | 22:11 |
| Battosai | ?? | 22:11 |
| Guest33403 | i want put vesa how to??? | 22:11 |
| Guest33403 | aoupi | 22:11 |
| Natsuki | whjat do you mean with putting vesa? | 22:11 |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, a while back I was trying to added entries under the Applications option and I was _severely_ discouraged from doing that... | 22:11 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Its in /dev something | 22:12 |
| grendal_prime | actually more like fuse | 22:12 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: what happens when you try to start normaly? | 22:12 |
| raven | Guest33403, nano /etc/xorg.conf.. | 22:12 |
| Guest33403 | gdm do not appear | 22:12 |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, I don't know why but the gnome people are pretty insistent about the layout of the gnome application menu | 22:12 |
| Uplink | Stargazer: whats your flashdrive model and brand name | 22:12 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I don't add anything in apps, I like how that works. | 22:12 |
| Natsuki | you can manually edit the file raven says | 22:12 |
| grendal_prime | sshfs...bizar i cant see it in any of the brows dialog boxes but i can term to it and look at files...werid | 22:12 |
| Guest33403 | no i do not want chnage file xorg | 22:12 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: any error? check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:12 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I just want my other 2 or 3 after it. | 22:12 |
| Natsuki | or try a command to config your video, but i can remember it | 22:12 |
| Stargazer | Uplink, it's a cruzer mini, kinda old. 244mB. | 22:12 |
| Guest33403 | i want start the package for start default video card | 22:13 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I got a cruzer | 22:13 |
| slayton | PassionFRUI7E, the best option would be for you to write a gnome-applet that does exactly what you want | 22:13 |
| LjL | Natsuki: actually after testing it, it would seem that you're right, and i was wrong. | 22:13 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: check for lines starting with EE, somewhere at the end | 22:13 |
| raven | Guest33403, that is the only waay to change the driver | 22:13 |
| Guest33403 | i remeber command was | 22:13 |
| Uplink | Stargazer: so you plug it in and ubuntu doesnt pick it up? | 22:13 |
| wos | can anyone tell me how to open a .bin file? | 22:13 |
| Guest33403 | dpkg ... and something | 22:13 |
| raven | Guest33403, it cud be changed thru a script, but it must be changed | 22:13 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I had to do mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cruzer | 22:13 |
| Natsuki | i guess it is something like sudo dpkg --reconfigure xorg.conf | 22:13 |
| PassionFRUI7E | I think. | 22:13 |
| raven | Guest33403, dpkg --reconfigure xorg | 22:13 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: /etc/init.d/gdm start would start up X... maybe you mean dpkg-reconfigure something? | 22:13 |
| Guest33403 | yesss!!! | 22:13 |
| Natsuki | Guest33403: iḿ not sure on the command let me google it | 22:13 |
| Guest33403 | it is | 22:13 |
| balrog | Natsuki: type this and hit enter: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and answer the questions | 22:13 |
| slayton | wos open it? its binary you can't read it. to run it use ./<filename.bin> | 22:13 |
| Guest33403 | dpkg --reconfigure xorg | 22:13 |
| Guest33403 | thx | 22:13 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Then i did ln -s /mnt/cruzer flashdrive | 22:13 |
| * FruitBasket doesn't like dependancies | 22:13 | |
| Stargazer | Uplink, it is plugged in... i can see it's empty contents. or is it that ubuntu doesn't use /dev/ | 22:13 |
| aoupi | Guest33403: I think it is dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 22:14 |
| slayton | Stargazer, ubuntu uses /dev | 22:14 |
| wos | slayton the fkr wont let me open it | 22:14 |
| bugiam | do i need to autostart compiz fusion icon after installing it? | 22:14 |
| TiMiDo | mgolisch, did it work? | 22:14 |
| PassionFRUI7E | If I wrote my own gnome applet then it would be included in the other applket, the system one. | 22:14 |
| ardchoille | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:14 |
| Uplink | Stargazer: ok so its mounted right? try cat /etc/fstab | 22:14 |
| Natsuki | i guess is as balrog said | 22:14 |
| slayton | wos fkr? | 22:14 |
| aoupi | ardchoille: to late :) | 22:14 |
| Natsuki | LjL: thanks :) | 22:14 |

| Stargazer | Uplink, zleap suggested that. fstab only shows me the auto-mounted stuff that is done at start up. | 22:14 |
| slayton | wos if the file is .bin then it is binary not ascii or unicode it doesn't contain text or anything for tha tmatter | 22:15 |

| notwist | !grub | 22:19 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 22:19 |
| slayton | wos are you trying to install a RPM? they don't work in ubuntu | 22:19 |
| slayton | !rpm | 22:19 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 22:19 |
| aoupi | wos: you want to execute it? | 22:19 |
| wos | yes slayton | 22:19 |
| Natsuki | wos a bin file seems to be an executable, just tupe the full path or ./ before it if you are in the same folder | 22:19 |
| balle_ | hey i can't really get rid of compiz fusion and emerald theme manager, i have tried to sudo apt-get autoremove them both but they kinda keep hanging around does anybody know how to delete them for good? | 22:19 |
| monomayu | anyone who knows a bit about madwifi/ath5? | 22:20 |
| ubd | DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING | 22:20 |
| zleap | the bin file should also be executable | 22:20 |
| zleap | but there should be a jre package in the repros | 22:20 |
| Slayer | hello? | 22:20 |
| slayton | wos, you _CANNOT_ install RPMs in ubuntu, RPMs are for Red Hat based distributions only, Ubuntu is based on debian and uses DEBS what you are trying to do wont work | 22:20 |
| aoupi | ubd: take a deep breath | 22:20 |
| notwist | Uplink: since vista isnt there i guess ubuntu didnt detect it, so that leads me to think there might be something wrong with the vista bootloader | 22:20 |

| Gnodab | I installed Ubuntu via the "install ubuntu as a regular windows program" option, and I alloted it 4 gigs. I reallly like using it, and was wondering if there is any way to expand the amount of disk space allocated to it without having to reinstall the OS? | 22:21 |
| notwist | Uplink: the partition is there and i can see it in ubuntu just not boot | 22:21 |
| Uplink | notwist: oh ok then type this "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 22:21 |
| zleap | can you view the menu.1st file in /boot | 22:21 |
| slayton | heret1c1, Alien will not be able to convert the JRE | 22:21 |

| DavidCanarias | veryangryman: I am having a lot of problems burning DVDs etc., But patience is the name of the game. Thks and good luck | 22:43 |
| ASULutzy | veryangryman: In the console, you can usually just do sudo dd if=/the/path/to/iso of=/dev/cdrom (or something similar) | 22:43 |

| ASULutzy | Quick question, I just got a work laptop, it's pretty basic, Latitude D610, everything works in Intrepid, but the CD-rom drive is ejectable, and if I eject the device I can place an additional battery in the bay. When I do that, dmesg freaks out, and so does kacpid_notify. My question, is there like, some way to unregister /dev/scd0 before I do that so Linux doesn't explode so much? | 22:51 |

| kelvin911 | aoupi: did u compile your own kernel? | 23:06 |

| Dr_willis | chris4585, all 3 of my nvidia systems have working 3d | 23:09 |
| Jape` | ok, I have changed many options in vista to make it look more like xp | 23:09 |
| Jape` | but... | 23:09 |
| chris4585 | Dr_willis, on 8.10? | 23:09 |
| wwpiexec | ldiamond: less than ideal.. but have you tried vncviewer? | 23:09 |
| kelvin911 | i wonder if the compiz work on netbook? | 23:10 |

| Dr_willis | kelvin911, yes it can | 23:10 |
| Tyrath | _steve_: many of my errors I happen to fix from google. Half the time it's just a small little change you need to work out | 23:10 |
| chris4585 | Dr_willis, when did the driver start to work? just curious | 23:10 |

| _steve_ | sorry to be a newbie | 23:10 |

| kelvin911 | but can i get compiz on the dell customized ubuntu? | 23:11 |

| Am0nXz | u dont have to be sorry for that | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> perhaps you can elaborate on what Synergy does that it can not be met with other tools ? | 23:11 |
| chris4585 | Dr_willis, thats odd, on both of my desktop and laptop on the final release I had no 3D, my friend said his worked, I'll see about it, thanks | 23:11 |
| Am0nXz | no one borns being expert | 23:11 |
| * Tyrath wishes there was a bot for wine | 23:11 | |
| ldiamond | n8tuser, Synergy simply creates a server on the machine that has a keyboard and mouse plugged in, then other computers with synergy clients (any OS) can connect to this and be controlled by the server. | 23:12 |
| Tyrath | Am0nXz: have you had window problems in wine? did you fix them? | 23:12 |

| Am0nXz | tyrath, just with the guess additions but nothing else | 23:13 |

| wwpiexec | n8tuser: synergy is a virtual KVM or KVM over IP.. if you have two monitors.. then you'll switch one monitor to be a clone when running VNC... and VNC doesnt transport things properly if you want to do games in one monitor and surf internet in another.. | 23:15 |
| Tyrath | Am0nXz: could you give me the name of the addition? | 23:15 |

| ldiamond | n8tuser, One computer runs windows, the other runs ubuntu. | 23:16 |
| Am0nXz | tyrath, is it for win? | 23:17 |
| Tyrath | Am0nXz: it's for wine | 23:17 |
| isaes | Umm.. I just installed 8.10. After that I installed ati restricted drivers. Got backups from xorg.conf and tried setting dual monitor support with no luck. Now I'd like to get the settings back as they were. Restored xorg.conf, reinstalled fglrx. No luck. Can't get past 1024x768. Is there some other config file that I should erase/modify? | 23:17 |
| wwpiexec | ldiamond: why not buy a digital KM switch?! | 23:17 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser, you should really put a space after the name of whoever you respond to (or not use ->) because Xchat doesnt highlight it. | 23:17 |
| Am0nXz | ohh sorry i was completely wrong | 23:17 |
| Tyrath | Am0nXz: no dramas. thanks anyway | 23:18 |
| ldiamond | wwpiexec, because software is free. | 23:18 |
| Am0nXz | i was thinking bout virual box | 23:18 |
| ldiamond | wwpiexec, and easier to use. | 23:18 |
| isaes | Now, the ubuntu loading bar is in correct resolution (1920x1080).. login screen in dual monitor, and when I log in I get cloned 1024x768. So there's something really odd going on. | 23:18 |

| ldiamond | isaes, well, cant help you! | 23:19 |
| isaes | I've already checked xorg.conf and monitors.xml, but no luck :/ | 23:19 |
| Tyrath | isaes: as a last resort I'd reinstall. if nothing else works. I mean you have just reinstalled so shouldn't be too much of a problem | 23:19 |
| ldiamond | wwpiexec, find another one. (or make one if necessary) | 23:19 |
| isaes | Tyrath: yeah, I believe I did that last time | 23:19 |
| Tyrath | isaes: oh sorry :/ | 23:19 |
| isaes | Tyrath: yeah I mean that reinstalling works, just would like to use that as the last resort. Well... | 23:19 |
| isaes | But it's odd that resolution and dual monitors are still a pain in the butt. | 23:20 |

| dpanman | any one know how to stop vlc from flicking ? | 23:24 |
| aoupi | dpanman: try turning of desktop effects | 23:25 |
| gavagai | aoupi, yeah it's working great. sort of weird to default with the front speakers way down... | 23:25 |
| aoupi | dpanman: crappy workaround but sometimes it's worth it :) | 23:25 |
| gavagai | thanks again | 23:25 |
| aoupi | gavagai: yea I find it pretty odd too :) | 23:25 |

| dpanman | oh desktop effects | 23:26 |
| faryshta | is there a way to burn a .ogm video into VCD or DVD? | 23:26 |

| dpanman | hmm can I do some else in VLC | 23:27 |
| Tyrath_ | how do I grant user privs to /dev/fb0 ? | 23:27 |
| aoupi | faryshta: mencoder is pretty good at converting between formats, but I don't know anything about VCD or DVD format | 23:27 |
| gavagai | aoupi, plus the other annoying thing is why do i need those switches to see all the options in alsamixer? lol. if i open the mixer regularly i get like two volume controls | 23:27 |
| dpanman | to stop flicking | 23:27 |
| faryshta | aoupi, thanks I will try it. | 23:27 |

| Jordan_U | blizzow: Do you use mplayer to play DVD's ? | 23:32 |
| blizzow | vlc, or xine. | 23:32 |
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis its ok | 23:32 |
| nbeebo | hi all, what is ubuntus default terminal shell? | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | blizzow: Because there is a patch for mplayer that allows it to use compiz's video plugin which will probably get rid of the tearing | 23:32 |
| edu__ | I heard that VLC was going to be shipped by default with Ubuntu, is that true, or just a rumour? | 23:32 |

| ubuntu_ | to replace my grub file, do I delete all the stuff that is in /boot that windows put in there, and replace it with my back up grub file? | 23:42 |

| Non-Orthodox | I jsut removed all eye-candy from compiz and it worked | 23:43 |
| Jacroe | so remove the package? or how do I edit the settings of it? | 23:43 |
| ubuntu_ | aoupi: well, I installed windows after grub, and it uses its own boot loader. Before I did I backed up the grub file in /boot. Now it is not in there no more and there are files such as config-2-5-4-generic, memtest86+.bin and other files | 23:43 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Hello. I was having serious problems with Ubuntu last night and had people in here give me a few suggestions. one was to run fsck on an Ubuntu CD, and the other was to reinstall. fsck doesn't seem to be working. | 23:43 |
| aoupi | ubuntu_: thoose files are important :) | 23:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I get: fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda# The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 | 23:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 | 23:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock | 23:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock | 23:44 |

| ubuntu_ | aoupi: so what do i do? | 23:44 |
| aoupi | ubuntu_: you can run sudo update-grub | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | Chaotic_Descent: most likely you need fsck.ext3 not 2. | 23:45 |

| Chaotic_Descent | Oh, sorry for the flood. I forgot copying that text included linefeedds. | 23:45 |

| donnie__ | FruitBasket: ok well I noticed something interesting... let's say it's a tv show.. with 23 rar's sequentially.. if I do that specific scenario and I *rename* the file when its in the middle of beeing extracted, using windows, the linux machine seems to realise it and keeps uincompressing using the new filename... are you following me? I think that's awesome but would like to understand how its possible | 23:54 |
| pieter__ | aoupi: it responded '$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) | 23:54 |

| donnie__ | FruitBasket: let me know if you need be to better explain myself | 23:54 |
| Non-Orthodox | but as far as I understood, it has a bug, and I should downgrade to .15 | 23:54 |
| Non-Orthodox | shouldn't I? | 23:55 |
| FruitBasket | donnie: under linux, it opens a file, or opens a directory. If you change the name, the file is still open. It's a pointer to a thing, not a pointer to a filename. | 23:55 |
| Chaotic_Descent | this is such a mess. | 23:55 |
| swif | Has anyone gotten Bluetooth OBEX to work with any mobile device in Intrepid? The current bluetooth package releases are clearly buggy... Any from-source suggestions or _anything_? | 23:55 |

| na_victo | hi, does anybody have a dell studio?? | 23:55 |
| baboom | hi. when i remove pulseaudio, i cant start my x session. this sucks... what can i do??? | 23:55 |
| donnie__ | aoupi: im efficient still.. because in *one* command I get to uncompress a whole season.. rather than using windows and unrar'ing episode by episode... with linux it might take more time over the network but at least its one command, I can leave my desk come back after a coffee and its done | 23:56 |
| Supari | Hi everyone i have a Dell 6000 Running 8.1 2gb ram..Using ATI propitiatory drivers.. Why is my VIDEO laggy ? and CPU usage 100 % when i watch something ? I have Compiz Completly removed and all effects off! | 23:56 |

| donnie__ | Supari: use envy-ng to install the video accelerated drivers, its awesome | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | Non-Orthodox: what is your point... according to apt-cache policy you have a safe patched kernel | 23:57 |
| === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius | ||
| Supari | i already have accelerated drivers installed | 23:57 |
| Supari | using fglrx | 23:57 |
| donnie__ | Supari: apparently not | 23:57 |
| Supari | fglrxinfo shows ATI drivers | 23:57 |
| donnie__ | i had the same probs with fglrx.. I tell you... use envy-ng | 23:57 |
| Supari | k ill do that but in envy it only shows me the driver i have installed already | 23:58 |
| donnie__ | Supari: choose with eny to first uninstall what you've got, start from scratch with it | 23:58 |
| Non-Orthodox | erUSUL: nvm... | 23:58 |
| Non-Orthodox | just checked... that was old news... | 23:58 |
| Non-Orthodox | dumb me... | 23:58 |

| Jordan_U | Non-Orthodox: The only "bug" is that there are no timestamps, which is how it's been up until now. The real bug was that ordering was changed ( in a compliant way, so I guess the real real bug is in peoples DSL modems ) when timestamps were enabled, so they were disabled. Now enabling timestamps does not change the order so they have been re-enabled. In other words this "bug" has pretty much no noticeable effect. | 23:58 |
| Non-Orthodox | erUSUL: thanks... | 23:58 |
| Non-Orthodox | erUSUL: now I get it... dumb me | 23:58 |
| erUSUL | Non-Orthodox: no problem | 23:58 |
| donnie__ | i never had any problems now on at least 20 machines.. with envy... saved so much time... and im not a fan of automated stuff like this usually | 23:58 |
| Supari | ok i will remove all ati drivers... set xorg to Vesa and use envy is that the idea ? | 23:59 |
| donnie__ | FruitBasket: btw thanks for the answer.. I think I get it | 23:59 |
| donnie__ | FruitBasket: you're saying linux isn't using the filename as a reference... | 23:59 |
