| Flannel | tzanger: Whether or not 2 lines is "flooding" isn't too important, the more important thing is that using a pastebin is generally a lot easier, since it comes out in oneblock for people, etc. Here it might be interpsersed with whatever else, like floodbots response, etc. | 00:03 |
| Ana_ | DasEi I see that desktop linux is still a bit hassle :), but as said this is a first ubuntu install I have ever had problems with. Sad it's on my own pc :) | 00:03 |

| fde | truebosko: going out on a limb... probably jaunty | 00:17 |
| musikgoat|main | ekontsevoy: its not as much the laptop itself as it is the parts inside, the chipset, the video card, intel is a good bet | 00:17 |
| truebosko | ah | 00:17 |
| zsquareplusc | truebosko: no i dont. i'd guess that a future release will depend on 2.6. but currently a lot of software uses python and libraries. and all must be available for the version. that's why i think it wont be soon 3.0 | 00:17 |

| Flannel | EvolutionXtinct: Its actually already set up. You just need to configure more than one. See /etc/apache2/sites-available/ | 00:30 |

| syslq | fde dunno, I havent use suse for 5 years now | 00:31 |
| syslq | fde I have just migrated from windows vista to linux desktop | 00:31 |
| umer | and unfortunately there is no novell open office edition for linux | 00:32 |
| umer | but it comes with sled i wish i will find some way to install it over ubuntu | 00:32 |
| fde | umer: umm, yes there is... most every distro uses novells branch | 00:32 |
| zsquareplusc | joachimATjku: you're supposed to upgrade gutsy->hardy->intrepid. someone else asked the same a while ago, maybe you can search the chat archive | 00:32 |
| JonathanElli1 | umer: Ubuntu comes with OpenOffice.org preinstalled | 00:32 |
| umer | yes i know | 00:32 |
| umer | but novell open office has some extra features | 00:33 |
| fde | JonathanElli1: there are two branches of OpenOffice.org ... Suns and Novells | 00:33 |
| fde | umer: that is the version in Ubuntu | 00:33 |
| ConstantineXVI | umer: IIIRC those changes have beenmerged into Ooo proper | 00:33 |
| umer | really | 00:33 |
| JonathanElli1 | fde: Oh I didnt know that | 00:33 |
| Flannel | joachimATjku: You shouldn't do it. If you're worried about stability, you might consider sticking with 8.04. | 00:33 |
| umer | that's great | 00:33 |
| Din|BSD | Didnt Novell make deals with Micro$oft a while back? | 00:33 |
| syslq | What is the difference? | 00:33 |
| zsquareplusc | JonathanElli1: you have and other pc with cdrom? and the "broken" one support USB boot? you could put the live cd on a stick | 00:33 |
| EvolutionXtinct | what should a virtual host file look like | 00:33 |
| Flannel | joachimATjku: you'll be able to upgrade from 8.04 straight to 10.04 when its released | 00:33 |
| EvolutionXtinct | can i use the default one and modify that? | 00:33 |
| fde | umer: for instance, Tools > Macros ... that isn't in the Sun branch | 00:33 |
| shadowwulf | can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ?? | 00:34 |
| Flannel | EvolutionXtinct: Yeah, and you can also copy it, etc. | 00:34 |
| umer | great fde | 00:34 |
| EvolutionXtinct | what portions do i need to change on it? | 00:34 |
| fde | Din|BSD: yes... they cross licensed some patents, and Microsoft agreed to market SUSE to their customers. | 00:34 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: Yes I have another computer with CD. Unfortunately the one with the broken cd doesnt support usb boot | 00:34 |
| whabi | hello | 00:34 |
| Flannel | EvolutionXtinct: Put the files in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then "enable" them by symlinking to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ you can use the a2ensite to do this for you. | 00:34 |
| Antioch | Hi guys. I'm new to Intrepid. A long time ago when I installed Ubuntu we had to install a microsoft font pack to get some standard internet fonts. I can't seem to find this package in the repositories and I have noticed that many webpage fonts look different in Intrepid vs Windows. Where can I get this font pack? Thank you!! | 00:34 |
| shahin8r | how do i see if dri is enabled with fglrx? | 00:34 |
| Flannel | EvolutionXtinct: You don't need to change anything by default. What stuff you change depends on what you want to accomplish | 00:34 |
| EvolutionXtinct | well mainly just want to upload a site to here and test out things. | 00:35 |
| umer | guyz did you try rain slick i know many if you hates games same here but it's really cool for those who cares | 00:35 |
| fde | Din|BSD: Note that Microsoft screwed up and licensed Unix from the wrong company... last time they did that, they paid out $1.5 billion for MP3, and Unix is more integral to Vista | 00:35 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: So I was thinking about just putting a small install on to a partition but I dont want to use up nearly a gig to put the whole contents of the livecd on it. | 00:35 |
| Harsha | I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing my USB Modem. Please help. | 00:35 |
| zsquareplusc | JonathanElli1: hm. if the partition was larger you could have copied the live cd there. or network boot. hm | 00:35 |
| shadowwulf | can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ?? | 00:36 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: Of course I could just make a bigger partition but its a bit of a waste of space | 00:36 |
| kindofabuzz | can a bash script run as a symbolic link? | 00:36 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: uhh, sure | 00:36 |
| kindofabuzz | well i guess can the symbolic link to a bash script work? | 00:37 |
| kindofabuzz | ok | 00:37 |
| kindofabuzz | just checking =) | 00:37 |
| joachimATjku | Flannel: k thx then i wait | 00:37 |
| umer | yes it can | 00:37 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: I have windows on that machine as well but I dont trust windows' partition manager - and anyway it wouldnt handle my ext3 partitions | 00:37 |
| darkhamm | how can i configure samba to share correctly folders to share with XBMC? | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | kindofabuzz: Yes, and the value of $0 will be the name of the symlink rather than the actual script name | 00:37 |
| umer | it's like shortcut kind of a buss | 00:37 |
| zsquareplusc | JonathanElli1: hm. if you copy the live cd on a stick but use your hardisks grub to load kernel and initrd from the cd. that should work | 00:37 |
| shadowwulf | can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ?? | 00:38 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: a symlink is just a pointer to a different spot on the drive... it is basically the same as the actual link, but doesn't go away if the main file is deleted, which is how it differs from a hardlink | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: Blank screen before or after logging in? | 00:38 |
| Flannel | joachimATjku: You should still upgrade to 8.04 at least. 7.10 is only supported for about six more months | 00:38 |
| raven | i am havin' major trouble tryin to resize a partition with gparted | 00:38 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: Thanks. Thats a good idea. I think the cd drive may work - it just suddenly wont boot | 00:38 |
| zsquareplusc | JonathanElli1: bah, kernel+initrn are 9.3 MB :( | 00:38 |
| umer | raven try fdisk :) | 00:39 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, logon screen is grey with a white line ... and the desktop is blank with no icons ... using a 8800 GTS | 00:39 |
| kindofabuzz | fde, ln -h for hard then? | 00:39 |
| zsquareplusc | umer: fdisk doesnt preserver the data on the partition | 00:39 |
| neztiti | guys how i can install libextractor and libqt5.dev on ubuntu 8.10 | 00:39 |
| raven | umer, i don't know the blocks i want to use, which most CLI apps seem to want, i know i want to reduce /dev/sd1 by 39GB tho... | 00:39 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: Oh no. CD drive wont even focus | 00:39 |
| raven | zsquareplusc, plus i need that :P | 00:40 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know how to share the www directory via samba? | 00:40 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: default for ln is hardlink, so no flags needed | 00:40 |
| === KatieKitty is now known as Katie-Offline | ||
| lenswipe | that is | 00:40 |
| EvolutionXtinct | for some reason i setup a site-enable of 'test' and when i go to xodus.gotdns.org/test it still goes to my wiki | 00:40 |
| fde | lenswipe: right click > share | 00:40 |
| lenswipe | so that it has read and write access only to me | 00:40 |
| kindofabuzz | fde ahh ok, i learn something new everday =) | 00:40 |
| lenswipe | afk | 00:40 |
| zsquareplusc | JonathanElli1: well, you could put the kernel+initrd on any disk. once it is loaded in the RAM its no longer used, so you could repartition | 00:40 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, i had this fixed once but i had to reinstall ubuntu and dont know how to fix it | 00:40 |
| wos | can anyone tell me how to recover data on an external harddrive i accidentally formatted while in ubuntu install? | 00:40 |
| raven | anyone help me with that? | 00:40 |
| === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty | ||
| zsquareplusc | raven: i find cfdisk much easier to use. but it wont resize partitions. you must delete and recreate (loosing its contents) | 00:41 |
| fde | wos: try using gparted ... it can resize ntfs | 00:41 |
| wos | no one? | 00:41 |
| Harsha | I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing my USB Modem. Please help. | 00:41 |
| umer | what about qtparted | 00:41 |
| rug | oio | 00:41 |
| NBrepresent | Hi, can someone help me to interpret this error message from my logs? http://paste2.org/p/104709 | 00:41 |
| raven | zsquareplusc, http://pastebin.com/m76fab42b | 00:41 |
| JonathanElli1 | zsquareplusc: I think your idea about copying the live cd to a usb stick but booting from the disk based grub is the best idea. I dont want to change the grub partition anyway | 00:42 |
| fde | wos: it is on the Ubuntu installer | 00:42 |
| mEck0 | hi! can someone help me configuring samba manually? I know how to do it via the gui, but want to learn it the manual way. I've read a bunch of howto's but nothing is working :-( the only folder which is being shared is always just print$, which I even haven't configured to share! | 00:42 |
| raven | zsquareplusc, gparted complains and lets me dump this | 00:42 |
| insaneinside | fde: gparted is a partition editor, not a data recovery suite... | 00:42 |
| fde | umer: same thing, different frontend | 00:42 |
| umer | hmm | 00:42 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, any ideas ? | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: Try disabling compiz. After logging in press ctrl+alt+F1 ( you will need to log in again in the tty that comes up ) then run "DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace" then ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X where you will hopefully be able to see your desktop and disable compiz permanently in preferences | 00:43 |
| wos | fde yes | 00:43 |
| wos | fde how do i __recover__ the data? | 00:43 |
| m1dn1ght | Is there a linux program that deals with writing over the space previously occupied by deleted files to ensure they cannot be recovered? | 00:43 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, well then theres no reason to run it .. i want compiz ... and i had it working once ... so why disable it ? | 00:43 |
| wos | m1dnight try boot n nuke | 00:43 |
| m1dn1ght | wos: I'll look it up - thanks | 00:43 |
| zsquareplusc | raven: i see. but cant help. what i know is that previous versions of ntfresize demanded that you defragment the disk using windows. | 00:43 |
| fde | wos: eh... at this point, you likely can't, as the journal his probably been written again | 00:44 |
| x_ | hi | 00:44 |
| dubside | Hello there | 00:44 |
| wos | FUCVKKKKK | 00:44 |
| wos | sorry | 00:44 |
| Din|BSD | O.o | 00:44 |
| wos | OH MY GOD | 00:44 |
| lucax | i had to disable compiz, works horrible on intel video cards........ i dont know if i can go back to previous version of it in intrepid...? | 00:44 |
| fde | wos: tough way to learn the importance of backups | 00:44 |
| m1dn1ght | wos: wait - does using dban involve wiping the whole disk? I was hoping to keep the exisiting data and just wipe the parts currently empty. | 00:44 |
| umer | fde is there any thing like yast in ubuntu . | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: Usually a white screen when logging in means that there is a driver problem screwing up 3D acceleration and thus preventing compiz from drawing | 00:44 |
| zsquareplusc | wos: there are undelete tools for FAT and maybe NTFS (i'd check the windows world for these) and there is just an experimental ext2 undeletze | 00:45 |
| Harsha | I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing my USB Modem. Please help. | 00:45 |
| fde | umer: not really, guidance and the gnome-system-tools ... | 00:45 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, ok ... but the command should at least get me a desktop right ? | 00:45 |
| wos | zsquareplusc i have a fat32 external drive | 00:45 |
| Flannel | wos: Please watch your language | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: If that is the cause of the problem, yes | 00:45 |
| wos | zsquareplusc, what is the name of this software>? | 00:46 |
| keyhack | how do I install the driver for ATI Radeon HD 3200? | 00:46 |
| Flannel | !undelete | wos | 00:46 |
| ubottu | wos: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 00:46 |
| fde | raven: says the resize worked | 00:46 |
| zsquareplusc | Harsha: no clue, but you could use "lsusb" to read the vendor and product ID numbers and use thiese for a google search. like "1234:5678 ubuntu" | 00:46 |
| wos | thanks flannel | 00:47 |
| andresj | hey, i have the DHCP server running in my ubuntu box, and another computer just got an IP address from it (and, if i understand correctly, this means it got a lease). Why is /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases empty? | 00:47 |
| zsquareplusc | wos: there are recovery tools for that one. might not get 100% back but many data. i know that sandisk ships one with the faster CF cards | 00:47 |
| Pretto | Harsha, do you know what modem do you have? | 00:47 |
| wos | cF card? | 00:47 |
| Harsha | Pretto: yes, it is zxdsl 831aii | 00:48 |
| raven | fde: well it didnt... when i rebooted to a usb ubuntu to repartition the ubuntu partition to take the freespace, it was back on windows | 00:48 |
| serenecloud | When I suspend + resume my laptop compiz forgets all my wallpaper settings and I get black, does anyone know of a fix? (intrepid on Acer Aspire One) | 00:48 |
| Flannel | wos: There's a factoid, although ubottu is having issues. | 00:48 |
| syslq | What codecs should I use gstreamer, xine or the ones with mplayer? | 00:49 |
| joachimATjku | can i delete my /var/cache/apt/ before doing a dist-upgrade? | 00:49 |
| fde | raven: I believe the installer should be able to resize the partition too... hit custom and try... nothing is written until you hit Ok or Next or whatever it says | 00:49 |
| jrib | joachimATjku: use apt-get clean. Why do you want to though? | 00:49 |
| wos | factoid? what? | 00:49 |
| Harsha | Pretto: In Windows, I need to install an driver to use the USB harddisk, but they don' t have Linux version of the driver. | 00:49 |
| joachimATjku | running out of disc space | 00:49 |
| zsquareplusc | wos: CF card -> memory used in digital cameras | 00:49 |
| jmccc | where does NetworkManager store its configuration? | 00:50 |
| Flannel | wos: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 00:50 |
| fde | raven: actually it doesn't apply anything until its done asking questions... it presents the entire process that you've requested etc... just make sure NTFS is defragmented | 00:50 |
| jmccc | it's not in /etc/network/interfaces anymore | 00:50 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, how long should i be waiting ? | 00:50 |
| raven | fde: it hasnt been defragged..... ever | 00:50 |
| raven | its 217GB, that would take too long :/ | 00:50 |
| Harsha | Pretto: My modem name is "zxdsl 831aii" | 00:50 |
| lenswipe | fde: thing is.... | 00:50 |
| fde | raven: then boot to Windows and do it... else you'll probably lose data if you try resizing it | 00:50 |
| Pretto | Harsha, do this in a terminal sudo lsusb -v| grep -i vendor | 00:51 |
| raven | fde, the installer resized it on original install w/o prob.. | 00:51 |
| lenswipe | fde: thing is... if i just right click and click share, it shares it, but i dont have read and write permissions on it (well i have read, but not write...) | 00:51 |
| jmccc | /etc/network/interfaces only has lo in it now | 00:51 |
| shadowwulf | anybody know of a good CD labeler that will print two different labels on one sheet of paper ? | 00:52 |
| Flannel | wos: Nothing, you got it. | 00:52 |
| lenswipe | fde: r u there? | 00:52 |
| fde | raven: defragmentation occurs when files on an NTFS partition become dis-contiguous, which means the data is scattered across the drive rather than neatly at the begginning... which means some could be at the end where you're trying to shrink it.... | 00:52 |
| raven | i know what it means :p | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: It should be immediate if it worked, did you press ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X? | 00:52 |
| raven | im just lazy | 00:52 |
| raven | lol | 00:52 |
| fde | lenswipe: There are options for permissions of the folder :/ | 00:52 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, still a blank screen | 00:53 |
| jmccc | does anyone know where NetworkManager stores its config? Maybe I'm missing something stupid... | 00:53 |
| fde | raven: bad time to be lazy unless you don't care about screwing up your NTFS partition? | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: What gfx card do you have? | 00:53 |
| raven | fde, don't care THAT much | 00:53 |
| Pretto | jmccc, gconf i think | 00:53 |
| raven | fde, it'd be nice if i didnt lose it tho | 00:53 |
| Harsha | Pretto: I am in another operating system, can you provide me the detailed steps, that I should follow that involves Internet. | 00:53 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, i have a nvidia GTS 8800 | 00:53 |
| jmccc | Pretto: tks, will check it out | 00:54 |
| fde | raven: I'm talking about there is a risk it'll never boot again | 00:54 |
| fde | raven: just because you don't want to defrag | 00:54 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, worked on 8.04 but doesnt work on 8.10 | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: Did you install the drivers via System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 00:54 |
| fde | raven: there is no telling what might be at the end of the drive... | 00:54 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, i would if i could get to a desktop to see that | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: I mean how did you install the drivers initially? | 00:55 |
| Pretto | Harsha, sorry, do you know if that modem is acting as an usb disc? | 00:55 |
| fde | raven: any important dll's though, or the kernel itself... very bad for you | 00:55 |
| jmccc | Pretto: you mean in ~/.gconf? | 00:55 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, i did at the time yes | 00:55 |
| raven | fde: don't care about the OS lol | 00:55 |
| lucax | extra repositories for compiz?? | 00:55 |
| raven | fde: i am a windows expert, i can fix the OS easy | 00:55 |
| raven | fde: it's my saved games im worried about most, but they arent the end of the world | 00:55 |
| fde | raven: ok, great... then knock yourself out | 00:55 |
| Harsha | Pretto: No, Ubuntu does not detects the USB device. | 00:56 |
| * zsquareplusc whispers "backup" into raven's ear | 00:56 | |
| jmccc | hmm, don't see anything in ~/.gconf or /etc/gconf | 00:56 |
| FistMaker | Hello! Can Anyone Help me set up firestarter? I cant seem to share my Internet connection to my xbox 360 | 00:56 |
| Pretto | jmccc, what kind of info are you trying to find? wireless? | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: To check if I understand, you installed 8.04, installed the nvidia drivers via the Hardware Drivers menu, then updgraded to 8.10 and now have a blank screen, or is this a fresh install of 8.10 where you have not yet installed the nvidia drivers? | 00:57 |
| fde | Jordan_U: so basically, you're pretty confused? :P | 00:57 |
| Harsha | Pretto: ubuntu does not recognises it as an USB disc. | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 00:57 |
| jmccc | Pretto: no, I need to make some changes to add some adapter configurations, I'm sshed into an intrepid box, no gui, /etc/network/interfaces only has lo now, don't see eth0 or eth1 or anything else | 00:57 |
| FistMaker | Intrepid | 00:57 |

| FistMaker | not sure what to call it :) | 00:58 |
| FistMaker | = new to Ubuntu | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: I would recommend using network manager to share the internet rather than firestarter | 00:58 |
| fde | FistMaker: both get the point across, saying both confirms :) | 00:58 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, i installed 8.04 and then upgraded to 8.10 ... 8.04 worked fine and then when i upgraded it does the blank screen thing on 8.10 | 00:58 |
| zsquareplusc | jmccc: use ssh -X and oyu can run gui apps :-) | 00:58 |
| Pretto | jmccc, try gconf-editor and find the following key /system/networking/, maybe it could help | 00:58 |
| FistMaker | How do I use network manager? | 00:58 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, i still have the option of going to 8.04 but i wanted to get 8.10 working so i wouldint have to go back to 8.04 | 00:58 |

| Jordan_U | FistMaker: No, it comes with Ubuntu | 00:59 |
| Harsha | Pretto: No, ubuntu does not recognises it as an USB disc. | 00:59 |

| jmccc | Pretto: tks | 00:59 |
| Pretto | Harsha, sorry, I am not able to help you | 00:59 |
| FistMaker | ok, I see it | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: System > Preferences > Networking, set whatever interface your xbox is connected to to "sharing" | 00:59 |
| fde | FistMaker: right click > edit connections ... | 00:59 |
| Pretto | Harsha, you must inspect kernel messages when you plug your modem | 01:00 |

| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, yes i do | 01:02 |
| Pretto | Harsha, you can use the following command in a terminal screen: tail -f /var/log/messages and plug your usb modem and see what messages will be showed in the terminal | 01:03 |
| FistMaker | What do I do to configure it properly? | 01:03 |

| Buster_Hymen | pumpkinseed: i have no idea then | 01:11 |
| Buster_Hymen | does it feel sluggish? | 01:11 |
| pumpkinseed | buster_hymen: nope | 01:11 |
| xiamx | Pretto, uncheck? but why | 01:11 |
| pumpkinseed | buster_hymen: guess its just one more bug in a multitude of bugs | 01:11 |
| Buster_Hymen | pumpkinseed: could just be your system monitor misreading | 01:11 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, rebooting | 01:11 |

| Buster_Hymen | pumpkinseed: zero, usually. Well let me qualify that. Once i get a service running properly, zero | 01:12 |
| Pretto | xiamx, sorry, i thought you wanted to disable it | 01:13 |

| FistMaker | Shared to other computers? | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: Yes | 01:14 |
| pumpkinseed | buster_hymen: Sorry to do this. I just feel like going back to windows. | 01:14 |

| joachimATjku | i allready did it before | 01:15 |
| Jordan_U | joachimATjku: How did you dist-upgrade, using update manager? | 01:16 |
| jrib | joachimATjku: huh? | 01:16 |
| joachimATjku | apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:16 |

| keithclark | any ideas on how to get a broadcom wireless connection to work? | 01:16 |
| Jordan_U | joachimATjku: Changing your sources.list and running apt-get dist-upgrade is not the proper way to upgrade Ubuntu releases | 01:16 |
| nephlim | woohoo, it worked | 01:17 |
| pumpkinseed | oh well | 01:17 |

| Jordan_U | keithclark: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 01:17 |

| joachimATjku | mhmm never did it in another way | 01:17 |
| wedgeoflemon | does what is listed on the java thing support 8.10? | 01:17 |
| keithclark | Jordan_U: Did that, nothing | 01:17 |

| pumpkinseed | bye guys... when it takes more time to fix bugs than the time I have to use my system its time to go to a better os | 01:17 |
| joachimATjku | sooooo is there a solution to my problem? ^ | 01:17 |
| Buster_Hymen | pumpkinseed: well damn! lol, don't play lottery. I'll be honest though, I find that *nix is much more suitable as a server platform than a productivity desktop/workstation/notebook | 01:17 |
| jrib | joachimATjku: are you trying to use dist-upgrade to upgrade between releases? | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | sambagirl: Yes, but not very well, why are you using a completely unsupported version of Ubuntu from 2005? | 01:18 |
| pumpkinseed | buster_hymen: yeah, I hear you. | 01:18 |
| sambagirl | i have 8.1 but the cd is damaged and i dont have any blank ones to redo it so i can install it for my needs so i happened to have a bunch of 5.x sitting aorund and just used that. | 01:18 |
| Pici | Jordan_U: No, actually, its not. Following the documented upgrade procedures (do-release-upgrade or update-manager) is the proper way to upgrade to a new release. | 01:18 |
| bazhang | sambagirl, its not supported | 01:18 |
| pumpkinseed | buster_hymen: thanks for chatting. and take care of yourself | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | Pici: Re-read what I said, that's what I was telling him :) | 01:18 |
| FistMaker | Jordan_U: did not work, Xbox failed DNS | 01:18 |
| joachimATjku | i changed the sources.list from gutsy to hardy debs and ran an update and afterwards dist-upgrade | 01:19 |
| Pici | Jordan_U: sorry, missed a key word in there :) | 01:19 |
| jrib | joachimATjku: that's not how you upgrade | 01:19 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, any ideas ? | 01:19 |
| Buster_Hymen | pumpkinseed: you too! | 01:19 |
| joachimATjku | thats how i allways did it ( ....well worked in debian (sid) ) | 01:19 |
| jrib | joachimATjku: sure, but that is not how you upgrade ubuntu | 01:20 |
| joachimATjku | so how can i get my missing 425 packages :D | 01:20 |

| hotmonkeyluv | If I had to choose a brand new graphics card under $200, but over $100 with COMPLETE linux compatiblity, what would you suggest | 01:21 |

| joachimATjku | have not rebooted yet :D (I am afraid) :D | 01:21 |
| sambagirl | is there a way that i can install 8.1 iso over my network? | 01:21 |
| centaur5 | jrib: Just out of curiosity what is the proper way to upgrade on a command line system if that's not how to do it? | 01:21 |
| BridgeInhabitant | fg | 01:21 |
| keithclark | Ok, thanks. I must follow pumpkinseed back to windows as well. I hope that the wireless drivers are fixed in a future release. | 01:21 |
| jrib | !upgrade > centaur5 | 01:21 |
| ubottu | centaur5, please see my private message | 01:21 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: You can try using the generic graphics drivers: run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-not-working /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then open your xorg.conf with "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and change Driver nvidia to Driver vesa | 01:21 |

My problem is that I am in the process of introducing linux to a lot of people (hopefully an install-fest in the spring) but frankly if they ask me if their printer, scanner, ... works with linux, I might not be able to answer completely and I need to have a place where I could refer them to to get whatever they want and still be sure that linux would fully recognize them | 01:31 |

| dimedo_ | darkhamm, so you can open some files? | 01:39 |
| greg_ | can anyone plllleeease help me set up my ubuntu box so i can VPN in from outside and access my Samba shares | 01:39 |
| thefawk | someone knows of a repository to upgrade to openoffice.org 3? the one one at launchpad is not working anymore (get 404) | 01:39 |
| sambagirl | umm this version is hoary hedgehog | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | necrogami|work: IIRC you use the same lines that you would add to the menu.lst and just enter them directly at the prompt ( to boot windows, it won't modify the menu.lst permanently ) | 01:40 |
| zsquareplusc | greg_ i'm using ssh/sftp in such cases. more secure :-) | 01:40 |
| darkhamm | dimedo_: when i build a samba share, i can run everything, when i download something in the share, xbmc let me see the file but don't open | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | sambagirl: that's ancient history | 01:40 |
| greg_ | zsquare - i would like it so I could for example mount one of my samba shares as a network drive from work... | 01:40 |
| JoeDaMac | Fist time using any kind of linux. Booting off the live CD, not getting ANY video, whatsoever, Monitor out of range. Even with the textonly install. DVI to HDMI cable from mac mini to my display. Tried the 2 most recent versions, textonly and livecd. Same problem with all of them. | 01:40 |
| === CuriosCa is now known as CuriosTiger | ||
| thefawk | what monitor are you using joe? | 01:41 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, same thing ... white line with grey and a blank desktop | 01:42 |
| dimedo_ | darkhamm, could you please type umask and tell me what it prints out? | 01:42 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, with a cursor | 01:42 |
| JoeDaMac | Its actually an HD TV with HDMI in | 01:42 |
| JoeDaMac | widescreen, 27" | 01:42 |
| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: Was there a cursor before as well? | 01:42 |
| thefawk | try with a regular monitor first | 01:42 |
| JoeDaMac | can't =( | 01:42 |
| thefawk | then you can install what you need to get hdmi video | 01:42 |
| JoeDaMac | well, I could, but that would require getting a monitor ;) | 01:42 |
| wos | can anyone help me with a rescubuntu usb image install please? | 01:42 |
| thefawk | try to get one, I don't know how to fix it without x server | 01:43 |
| JoeDaMac | Hmm. Thing is, I *was* able to get video at one point. | 01:43 |
| necrogami|work | Jordan_U: From Grub Command line how do i check which drives are available. | 01:43 |
| zsquareplusc | greg_: if it is across the internet, i'd use some VPN or ssh tunnel. but IT departments are usually not very happy with users doing their own VPN ;-) | 01:43 |
| bazhang | wos what is rescubuntu | 01:43 |
| JoeDaMac | In the text only install, I just hit return a few times during boot, brought me to a text only installation/cd check screen | 01:43 |
| wos | bazhang, http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/Download | 01:43 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, yes | 01:44 |
| thefawk | I have no idea I have never used a hdmi screen to install, you can try the safe mode I guess. | 01:44 |
| wos | bazhang could you help me please | 01:44 |
| thefawk | is the second option, you can blindly try to hit it pushing down once and enter I guess | 01:44 |
| bazhang | wos what is the problem | 01:44 |
| JoeDaMac | Ooo | 01:44 |
| JoeDaMac | Cool | 01:44 |
| bazhang | wos that is 3rd party software | 01:44 |

| jrgp | I've got a raid5 with 3 identical drives with mdadm mounted at /home. I changed my hostname and since then I've gotta start the raid manually. can I fix this? | 01:46 |
| level15 | lenswipe: what is the problem exactly? | 01:47 |
| lenswipe | at the say so of a guide on ubuntuforums i chmodded my /var/www directory to enable it to be readable and writeable by samba (only for selected users) | 01:47 |
| lenswipe | i was told | 01:47 |
| bazhang | wos describe the exact issue with the drive and someone will try to answer | 01:47 |
| lenswipe | to run this: | 01:47 |
| Pici | !enter | lenswipe | 01:47 |
| wos | i need an ubuntu bud to help me out with stuff like this | 01:47 |
| ubottu | lenswipe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:47 |
| lenswipe | sudo chmod -R 771 /var/www | 01:47 |
| lenswipe | im sure you can all imagine what that would do, my website is no longer readable by apache, and yes, i can easily put it back to 775 except that i run a phpbb board | 01:47 |
| lenswipe | so lots of different things have dfferent levels of permissions | 01:48 |
| wos | well i dont know what happened, i was in the ubuntu install partitioning menu and the drive has disappeared off the radar on both windows and ubuntu ever since then :( | 01:48 |
| dimedo_ | darkhamm, if you're still there, i'm quite sure i know how to fix your problem... | 01:48 |

| Jordan_U | shadowwulf: I don't think this will help, but a way to sort of reset everything would be to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical -a" ( it will take a while ) | 01:52 |
| shadowwulf | Jordan_U, ok, ill try that if thefawk idea doesnt work | 01:53 |

| toyo|desk | hey guys | 01:56 |
| vahnx | Hello | 01:56 |
| vahnx | I should be studying for a Networking test tomorrow, oh well. | 01:56 |
| toyo|desk | do any of you know if there is a way to add a terminal link to the right click function of the desktop | 01:56 |
| vahnx | I'll do it later. | 01:56 |
| shadowwulf | thefawk, i see a splash word at the end of the kernal line but no VGA | 01:56 |
| toyo|desk | so you right click the desktop and have a open terminal button | 01:56 |
| toyo|desk | I am used to opensuse | 01:57 |
| toyo|desk | they have it setup like that | 01:57 |
| vahnx | I just googled it and I see a few results on that. | 01:57 |
| the_dark_warrio | How can I turn Direct Rendering On? | 01:57 |
| FistMaker | OK, i've read and performed the steps for setting up NAT and DHCP and my ICS is still not working | 01:57 |
| vahnx | Just install the 'nautilus-open-terminal' package, log out and back again (or run 'killall nautilus'). Now you have the terminal in your right-click menu. | 01:57 |
| zsquareplusc | idea4gud: looks like someone not knowing about update-rc.d look at that programs man page to get an idea | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | the_dark_warrio: Install the proper drivers for your gfx card | 01:57 |
| toyo|desk | thanks vahnx | 01:57 |
| toyo|desk | :) | 01:57 |
| vahnx | I got that from Google | 01:57 |
| vahnx | Not sure if it will work | 01:57 |
| vahnx | Sounds like it will though | 01:57 |
| DasEi | Ana_: you're fine ? | 01:58 |
| zsquareplusc | idea4gud: it creates links to the runlevels, so that a service is started when the computer boots | 01:58 |
| FistMaker | Can someone help me set up internet connection sharing please? | 01:58 |
| the_dark_warrio | Jordan_U: Ubuntu indeed installed the driver, but there is no direct rendering | 01:58 |
| vahnx | If my one classmate was here he knows how to network share. | 01:58 |
| shadowwulf | thefawk, i see a splash word at the end of the kernal line but no vga | 01:58 |
| FistMaker | my xbox 360 fails DNS everytime | 01:59 |
| FistMaker | cannot get it connected | 01:59 |
| vahnx | Does it work in a different OS? Just a way of troubleshooting. | 01:59 |
| FistMaker | i've followed the steps for ICS,NAT and DHCP on the main site, but it's not working | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: Is there a DHCP server setup on your LAN? | 02:00 |
| FistMaker | Yes | 02:00 |
| zsquareplusc | your's or the ISps one? | 02:00 |
| FistMaker | Set it up according to the documentation on the support site | 02:00 |
| toyo|desk | thanks a lot vahnx that did the trick | 02:00 |
| toyo|desk | :) | 02:00 |
| vahnx | Sweet | 02:00 |
| the_dark_warrio | "Direct Rendering" can be enabled with any graphic card? Event if it is onboard? | 02:00 |
| vahnx | Yeah Google is a good place to search for that stuff. | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: Then you need to setup your xbox manually so the gateway is set to your Ubuntu machine rather than the other dhcp server | 02:01 |
| vahnx | I hate Yahoo and Windows Live search | 02:01 |
| gregbrady | How do I install the Compiz settings manager? | 02:01 |
| idea4gud | zsquareplusc : ok just to make oracle start at run time we do pdate-rc.d | 02:01 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | 02:01 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 02:01 |
| FistMaker | what should I set the gw for my xbox? | 02:01 |
| FistMaker | which I.P.? | 02:01 |
| greg_ | anyone able to help me with open vpn? | 02:01 |
| gregbrady | bazhang: Thank you | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: The ip of our Ubuntu machine | 02:02 |
| toyo|desk | vahnx, yeah I was just getting really irritated not having my rightclick terminal | 02:02 |
| FistMaker | the I.P. for eht1 or eth0? | 02:02 |
| vahnx | That does seem useful, maybe I should do it too. | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | FistMaker: The ip for eth1 | 02:02 |
| shadowwulf | thefawk, any ideas ?? -i see a splash word at the end of the kernal line but no vga | 02:02 |
| FistMaker | ok, i'll give that a shot | 02:02 |
| bryan | can someone help with installing openoffice? i have kubuntu intrepid which came with 2.4. today, i tried to upgrade to 3.0 and it failed, now i can't install 2.4 or 3.0 | 02:03 |

| vahnx | I'm installing it right now don't know what it does though hehe | 02:03 |
| toyo|desk | you press a hotkey or a key sequence and it opens up a run dialogue | 02:03 |

| Jordan_U | bryan: What happened when you tried to update, was there an error message? | 02:06 |
| vahnx | Tried installing OS X on my laptop but it takes 2 hours and theres a chance it doesn't work | 02:06 |
| toyo|desk | :/ | 02:06 |
| darth10 | just type sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, gregbrady | 02:06 |
| toyo|desk | yeah | 02:06 |
| gregbrady | darth10: Will do, thanks | 02:06 |
| toyo|desk | vahnx, yeah there are some cool plugins for gnome-do as well | 02:06 |
| bryan | Jordan_U: i believe openoffice.org-core was held back | 02:06 |
| FistMaker | Now it's WORSE | 02:06 |
| bryan | which caused everything to fail | 02:06 |
| FistMaker | Now the I.P. fails and it wont even attempt to set up the dan | 02:06 |

| vahnx | Does gnome-do create a shortcut launcher somewhere? | 02:07 |
| Fresh78 | whys 8.04 so dang on slow at times | 02:07 |
| toyo|desk | it sits in the notification area | 02:07 |
| gregbrady | bazhang: worked perfectly, thanks again. | 02:07 |
| vahnx | Oh yeah I see that now | 02:07 |
| toyo|desk | or whatever | 02:07 |
| bazhang | Fresh78, you need to provide specific info | 02:07 |
| FistMaker | Jordan_U: Now I.P fails. What do I do now? | 02:07 |
| toyo|desk | I make it start on my session start by adding it to sessions | 02:07 |
| bryan | Jordan_U: no errors just: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 02:08 |

| toyo|desk | vahnx, I decided the checkbox was just too ez | 02:08 |
| toyo|desk | :P | 02:08 |
| bazhang | Fresh78, do you have a support question? or just wish to chat | 02:08 |
| toyo|desk | vahnx, you can change it | 02:08 |

| vahnx | super space seems good. i think my ctrl+space etc. is binded by compiz | 02:09 |

| Jordan_U | bryan: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org" should do it | 02:12 |
| toyo|desk | ardchoille, yes gnome-do is the same thing | 02:12 |
| ardchoille | toyo|desk: installing it now :) | 02:12 |
| toyo|desk | cool | 02:12 |

| gregbrady | darth10: done, but my browser still does not show java enable pages. | 02:14 |
| level15 | gregbrady: 64 bits? | 02:15 |
| Buster_Hymen | which is the best filesystem for a laptop installation? | 02:15 |
| Buster_Hymen | and by best i mean fastest while still being reasonably bulletproof | 02:15 |
| gregbrady | level15: yes | 02:15 |
| Jordan_U | bryan: Sorry, try "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer" | 02:15 |
| Vy_purPle | haiiiiiiii | 02:15 |
| level15 | gregbrady: last time i checked, there was no java plugin for 64 bit linux | 02:15 |
| darth10 | gregbrady, send me the output of 'java -version' | 02:16 |
| level15 | you could use a browser which uses the JRE directly, konqueror, for example. that should work | 02:16 |
| Frogzoo | Buster_Hymen: ext3 of course | 02:16 |
| darth10 | ya dat cud work 2... | 02:16 |
| level15 | Buster_Hymen: i like reiserfs over the rest | 02:16 |
| someone537 | hey guys, I'm in live Damn Small Linux (through VMware) session. how can I run an executable that's stored in on my windows os? | 02:16 |
| Milos_SD | jrib, well... I only see .bash in my home folder... :S | 02:16 |
| darth10 | mozilla has a jre plugin rite? | 02:16 |
| bryan | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0 | 02:16 |
| Frogzoo | Buster_Hymen: thing to remember about laptops, is crashes due to low battery are common | 02:17 |
| Buster_Hymen | Frogzoo, level15 : Those two always seem to come up. what's the big difference between the two? Also, how does JFS compare? | 02:17 |
| apeiron | darth10, Several. | 02:17 |
| jrib | Milos_SD: dash is what /bin/sh is linked to by default. Your user's shell is still bash by default | 02:17 |
| Dante123 | hey is there a wine irc chat?? | 02:17 |
| Frogzoo | Dante123: #winehq | 02:17 |
| jrib | !wine | Dante123 | 02:17 |
| Dante123 | Frogzoo thanks! | 02:17 |
| * jrib looks at ubottu | 02:17 | |
| gregbrady | darth10: http://www.pastebin.ca/1263265 | 02:17 |
| Buster_Hymen | Frogzoo: right. but both ext3 and ReiserFS (and jfs too, if i'm not mistaken) are journaled, right? | 02:17 |
| === Build-A-1ear is now known as Build-A-Bear | ||
| apeiron | !helpp | 02:17 |
| apeiron | !help | 02:17 |
| level15 | i have no experience with jfs. i've read/heard that reiserfs is faster than ext3. i have forced checks of ext2 and ext3 so i prefer reiser | 02:17 |

| Milos_SD | jrib, ok... thanks ... So I didn't do anything that will brake my system :) | 02:18 |

| jrib | Milos_SD: nope | 02:18 |
| greg_ | can anyone help me set up openvpn to allow me to get access to my samba shares outside of my network? | 02:18 |
| metbsd | ext3/2 is more mature | 02:18 |
| apeiron | laggy bot is laggy | 02:18 |
| level15 | but reiser is dying since its lead developer is going to jail, if he's not there already | 02:18 |
| somat | i have a bit problem with samba, some body help me ? | 02:18 |
| jrib | somat: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 02:18 |
| darth10 | gregbrady, huh seems ok.....get a java plugin for the browser ur using... | 02:18 |
| level15 | Buster_Hymen: yes, they are all journaled | 02:18 |
| Frogzoo | level15: reiser's been in jail for ages | 02:18 |
| gregbrady | darth10: browser is firefox | 02:19 |
| Buster_Hymen | level15: yeah i tried reiser on a test box and it's pretty fast. it's considered as reliable as ext3 right? | 02:19 |
| Frogzoo | Buster_Hymen: not really | 02:19 |
| level15 | Buster_Hymen: IMHO, it is more stable than ext3... but you'll find ppl who will tell you otherwise. for me it has worked just fine | 02:19 |
| r2s | in ubuntu 8.10... when you do modprobe.. is it gonna be permanently configured even when I restart??\ | 02:19 |
| metbsd | what doyou guys do if the website don't run well in firefox or konqueror | 02:19 |
| someone537 | hey guys, I'm in a live session of a generic Linux distro and I don't know how to view a directory (I tried 'ls' and 'cd' and 'dir'). all it says is 'events.cal' | 02:19 |
| jrib | gregbrady: you can use icedtea6-plugin for example to get java in your browser on 64bit | 02:19 |
| level15 | r2s: no | 02:19 |
| jrib | someone537: -ENOCONTEXT | 02:20 |
| someone537 | k | 02:20 |
| geeksquad | can you get a browser to work in emacs like a buffer | 02:20 |
| somat | jrib : ok, when i open a file in server, and save it, there is an error message -> 'filename' is not a directory | 02:20 |
| gregbrady | jrib: How to install that? | 02:20 |
| Buster_Hymen | Okay. looks like some google research is in order =) but they're both very well established filesystems, right? | 02:20 |
| r2s | level15: how to I make them permanently modprobed ?? | 02:20 |
| jrib | gregbrady: same as everything else, use your favorite package manager such as Synaptic | 02:20 |
| someone537 | jrib: that did nothing. I'm in a Damn Small Linux session thru VMWare player, btw | 02:20 |
| gregbrady | jrib: got you. I will try | 02:20 |
| jrib | somat: I meant to ask the channel | 02:20 |
| n8tuser | geeksquad -> elinks and w3m perhaps? | 02:21 |
| usser | r2s, add it /etc/modules | 02:21 |
| usser | r2s, *to | 02:21 |
| ellipsis | possibly not the best channel for this, but everyone in #php seems to be asleep | 02:21 |

| geeksquad | whats that i just got emacs | 02:21 |
| jrib | someone537: I meant you aren't providing enough context. But you should ask the damn small linux channel, not the ubuntu channel | 02:21 |
| level15 | r2s: add them to /etc/modprobe.d/insertyourrelevantfilenamehere | 02:21 |
| r2s | Thanks | 02:21 |
| toyo|desk | anyway | 02:21 |

| umer | in a very good maner | 02:27 |
| mau | the amd64? | 02:27 |
| level15 | amd64 = EM64T = intel 64 = x86_64 | 02:27 |
| cmdbbq | mau it is the same thing, AMD just did 64 bit first | 02:27 |
| mau | ok | 02:27 |
| jrib | mau: it's just how the architecture is named | 02:27 |

| akahig2 | level15: is there any way of isolating what's causing firefox to be consuming all the CPU? nothing's changed in the last few days except changing the flash plugin (as part of the pulseaudio fix) | 02:42 |

| arktvrvs | page file* | 02:44 |
| usser | mewshi, nvm... then i have intel. sorry | 02:44 |
| akahig2 | level15: that's true, but FF3 has been much easier on the resources than v2. should the flash plugin be load if nothing has called it, or does it load on startup? | 02:45 |
| alex|xela | level15: debian -> ubuntu | 02:45 |
| ASULutzy | mewshi: you should check your syslog, or do dmesg | tail -f | 02:45 |
| ASULutzy | and see what exactly if anything your box sees when your wireless goes down | 02:45 |

| === vincent is now known as Guest37413 | ||
| ASULutzy | alex|xela: and of course /home (if needed) | 02:47 |
| mewshi | http://pastebin.com/f6db6483d <- this is what dmesg gives me | 02:47 |
| level15 | someone537: i think gnome failed to load completely | 02:47 |
| error404notfound | how can I print the current ruleset of iptables? | 02:47 |
| alex|xela | ASULutzy: pw auth, mainly out of postifx | 02:47 |
| alex|xela | fix* | 02:47 |
| level15 | error404notfound: iptables -L | 02:47 |
| alex|xela | which ties into /etc/shadow | 02:47 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: wubi stinks, I wouldn't use it, I'm sure there's a huge FAQ on Wubi | 02:48 |
| Falstius | metbsd: wubi installation will perform like a normal installation on a slower HD. If you're installing just to play around and learn, wubi is fine. If you want to use Ubuntu as your primary OS or for high performance applications, you should do a normal install. | 02:48 |
| someone537 | i see | 02:48 |
| metbsd | ASULutzy, why? | 02:48 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: Performance reasons, data loss reasons, etc | 02:48 |
| DavidCanarias | I'd like to memorize somehow certain command lines for the terminal so that when I hit one key up pops the command. Is there any way I can do this???? | 02:48 |
| metbsd | so in wubi enviroment, software runs slower than in normal enviroment? | 02:48 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: If your entire operating system resides on an NTFS partition that Windows has full read/write access to (and has all the nice fragmentation issues that NTFS still gets) | 02:49 |
| arktvrvs | DavidCanarias: you are talking about history | 02:49 |
| arktvrvs | it is default behavior for bash. | 02:49 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: On a file on that partition that is | 02:49 |
| metbsd | ASULutzy, except for ntfs fragment, anything else? | 02:49 |
| DavidCanarias | arktvrvs: I don't like history very much!!! jejejej How's that I don't understand? | 02:49 |
| mindrape | DavidCanarias: you could setup an alias for a single letter... ie; if you pushed k it would run a huge command. | 02:49 |
| mewshi | so, based on this http://pastebin.com/f6db6483d does anyone have a clue what's wrong? :( | 02:49 |
| arktvrvs | DavidCanarias: in your terminal, press UP | 02:49 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: The fact that a program or virus in Windows could destroy your entire Linux install | 02:50 |
| Falstius | metbsd: no, it only loads more slowly. Also, if your computer were to crash you're more likely to lose data (or your windows installation could corrupt your wubi file). Like I said, wubi is fine for playing and getting a feel, but it isn't good for your primary OS. | 02:50 |
| DavidCanarias | mindrape: That's what I want to do, but how. | 02:50 |
| mindrape | DavidCanarias: .bashrc | 02:50 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: Or the fact that you are sort of counting on a single file in a Windows install not getting hosed... That's reason enough for me | 02:50 |
| mindrape | man it | 02:50 |
| DavidCanarias | arktvrvs: press UP???? | 02:50 |
| mewshi | Yeah, the up arrow | 02:50 |
| arktvrvs | Yes, UP. The key with the arrow on it | 02:50 |
| DavidCanarias | mindrape: Do I go to terminal and type in .bashrc? And then what | 02:51 |
| level15 | mewshi: i was experiencing the same kind of issues with my laptop after i upgraded to 8.10... same deauthenticated msg. never got to fix them, though, since my laptop's video card burnt | 02:51 |
| metbsd | so i guess wubi is ok for me, i don't want linux be my primary os | 02:51 |
| mindrape | echo "alias k='some long command'" >> .bashrc | 02:51 |
| mewshi | Just kill me... please... it's the humane thing to do... | 02:51 |
| * mindrape kills mewshi... with fire. | 02:51 | |
| DavidCanarias | Ah OK guys the UP key and this seems to remember the last command | 02:51 |

I press Fn-F2 and first, I see "Your wireless adapter is being enabled".. then "restarted" instead of "enabled", then "your wireless adapter has failed to return. Please reboot" | 02:52 |
| donjr_KS | say thanks | 02:52 |
| keewee | Does anyone know why this can be happening? I tried installing "eee-control" instead of "eeepc-config", and also reinstalling the wireless driver. No success | 02:52 |
| _Zeus_ | donjr_KS: you can use 'tell' | 02:52 |
| _Zeus_ | oh wait | 02:52 |

| ASULutzy | mewshi: Have you done any googling? | 02:52 |
| n8tuser | mewshi -> try iwpriv and if any of those parameters is related to your disconnects, maybe signal treshold is too high? | 02:53 |

| nbeebo | my sound is gone, what shoul i do?? | 02:53 |
| DavidCanarias | level15: No problem. One of the things I really like about Linux community is how helpful it is!! | 02:53 |

| nbeebo | it doesnt work, its not the hardware and volume is at max | 02:55 |
| Falstius | metbsd: if you have to reboot to use windows or linux, you probably won't. If you have it as a VM, it is easy to jump from one to another and you can manage resources better. | 02:55 |
| mindrape | nbeebo: lspci <-- is it recognized? | 02:55 |
| arktvrvs | Any error messages? | 02:55 |
| ASULutzy | nbeebo: alsamixer in a terminal ? | 02:55 |
| nbeebo | ill check, i had it before on this install btw | 02:55 |
| mindrape | nbeebo - are you sure the volume is max? type alsamixer at a command line | 02:55 |
| Falstius | metbsd: the only good reason to dual boot a personal machine is if you want to use Linux as your primary OS but there are windows games you can't run in wine and can't live without. | 02:55 |
| nbeebo | yes alsamixer there | 02:55 |
| DavidCanarias | Sorry guys, but in terminal and typing history up pops all the commands with numbers. When I type in the number I want it says command not found. Why? | 02:56 |
| B|ackPanther | Would reinstalling firefox help ? | 02:56 |
| keewee | arktvrvs: well... so it is still an OS made for people who understands it... thought linux would be somehow better :( | 02:56 |
| level15 | DavidCanarias: what shell are you using? | 02:56 |
| mindrape | DavidCanarias: that is just for reference... its showing you chronologically the commands you've run. If you want to run one just push the up arrow key a ridiculous number of times. | 02:56 |
| arktvrvs | keewee: at least linux has tons of docs and encourage you to learn it :) | 02:56 |
| Twar3 | B|ackPanther: Are you using the Window Decorator in Compiz? | 02:56 |
| sachael | DavidCanarias, type a ! in front of the number | 02:56 |
| arktvrvs | as opposed to the 'other' os | 02:56 |
| d0netsFN | is there a command i can use to paste things into terminal? | 02:56 |
| nbeebo | its safe to purge alsamixer then install it again? | 02:56 |
| d0netsFN | instead of clicking, then paste | 02:56 |
| sachael | DavidCanarias, you can also type !! for the last command | 02:57 |
| apeiron | metbsd, I concur with Falstius regarding dualbooting. | 02:57 |
| ASULutzy | keewee: Try learning, open a terminal, check what dmesg says, etc. | 02:57 |
| arktvrvs | d0netsFN: shift+insert.. try it | 02:57 |
| B|ackPanther | Twar3,No,am not using that. | 02:57 |
| keewee | mindrape: thanks, I have those guides, used a windows driver but it made every WPA2 router crash | 02:57 |
| apeiron | Today's machines have more than enough oomph behind them to virtualize. Many chips even have hardware accelerated virtualization. | 02:57 |

| nbeebo | how do i reinstall alsa driver? | 02:58 |
| B|ackPanther | Twar3,Sorry,i was using it.Just checked. | 02:58 |

| arktvrvs | keewee: what problems are you having? | 02:58 |
| nbeebo | its alsa dpkg-reconfigure? | 02:58 |

| ardchoille | I have some conflicting hashes in rkhunter | 02:59 |
| ASULutzy | metbsd: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:59 |
| r2s | mindrape: This is because I got this MF622 3G data card and ubuntu 8.10 detect it as ohci_hcd type | 02:59 |

| mindrape | nbeebo - modprobe modulename | 03:12 |
| arktvrvs | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-modules? | 03:12 |
| fluvvell | keewee, there should be a time delay after turning it on before it finds networks. All scans take some time. | 03:12 |
| fluvvell | keewee, is the adaptor in roaming mode? | 03:13 |
| nbeebo | ok ill try | 03:13 |
| mindrape | keewee - sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 03:13 |
| happycycling | I had to reinstall windows, how do I repair my MBR with GRUB without reinstalling ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| mindrape | keewee - that will force it to scan. | 03:13 |

| mindrape | nbeebo - sudo apt-cache search modules | 03:14 |
| nbeebo | oh ok | 03:14 |
| mindrape | nbeebo sudo /etc/init.d/./hal restart probably | 03:14 |
| keewee | fluvvell, I waited the normal time it always takes to find networks (10-20sec). | 03:14 |
| Roasted | Does anybody here have an A-DATA flash drive, with the rubber orange/black housing? If you do, does it work with Ubuntu? I have one and mine does not work with Ubuntu. It used to, but as of the other day it didn't. Yet my Sandisk works perfectly fine in Ubuntu. So I'm starting to think the A-DATA isn't Linux supported. | 03:15 |
| keewee | fluvvell, in iwconfig it appears as ra0, so I used ra0 for your command.. | 03:15 |
| keewee | "No scan results" | 03:15 |
| mindrape | fde - what part of the greater Phoenix area do you hail from? | 03:15 |
| keewee | (less than a second after pressing Enter) | 03:15 |
| wos | could anyone tell me how to restore a ntfs drive on which the file system is non existent? | 03:15 |
| mindrape | keewee - sudo ifconfig ra0 down ; sudo ifconfig ra0 up ; sudo iwlist ra0 scan | 03:16 |
| mindrape | wos - you will need to use recovery software from www.runtime.org GetDataBack NTFS version oughta do it. | 03:16 |
| Sync08 | I wonder why every application user has /bin/bash login access at /etc/passwd file? (Ubuntu 8.10) | 03:16 |
| mindrape | Sync08 - EVERY user has a shell in /etc/passwd? | 03:17 |
| fluvvell | keewee what happens if you click the wireless icon at the top? | 03:17 |
| Sync08 | mindrape, well its a default installation and I see even deamon , irc users has /bin/bash access .. | 03:17 |
| Sync08 | I mean why they have these rights by default? | 03:18 |
| arktvrvs | You need a shell to run programs. | 03:18 |
| nbeebo | how do i see if my speakers are plugged in? cant find anything in the "control panel" | 03:18 |
| keewee | mindrape, fluvvell, the down works (I suppose.. anyway the light doesn't turn off), the up says "operation not allowed" (translated from spanish). | 03:18 |
| Stargazer | In WMP, i remember i could just hit 'sync' and all my music would eventually end up in my mp3 player, i don't see an easy way of doing this. any ideas ? | 03:19 |
| mindrape | Sync08 - for i in $(awk -F: '{print $7}' /etc/passwd); do echo $i; done; | 03:19 |
| keewee | fluvvell, the icon is for both wireless and ethernet. the wireless part of the menu appears (which normally disappears when the wireless adapter is turned off). | 03:19 |
| nbeebo | how do i see if my speakers are plugged in? cant find anything in the "control panel" | 03:19 |
| jbeitler | what are you trying to sync? | 03:19 |
| keewee | fluvvell, but no networks.. | 03:19 |
| arktvrvs | nbeebo: Probably no way to tell that but to manually check it. | 03:20 |
| Sync08 | mindrape, and what that command exatcly do ? | 03:20 |
| nbeebo | well i know it exists for all hardware.. so i guess ill google | 03:20 |
| alsa | has there been a fix for no sounds in ubuntu 8.10 ? | 03:20 |
| mindrape | Sync08 - it just prints out all the shells from /etc/passwd... mindlessness :P | 03:21 |

| nickrud | nbeebo, the steps you need to take is first, see if the card is recognized by the hardware: lspci , look thorough the output and see if your sound card is there. | 03:26 |
| arktvrvs | there is of course system > administration > hardware testing | 03:26 |

| DavidCanarias | I would like to use the sudo command but I am not used to it. Is there anywhere I can found out what commands I can use? | 03:47 |
| nickrud | keewee, when you reboot, you will see something about grub 1.5 just after the bios. Hit escape, arrow down to the one that has recovery. When you get a blue screen, go to the command line | 03:47 |
| arktvrvs | my realtek im pretty sure is ich | 03:47 |
| mindrape | zerodevice: see that link from ubottu | 03:47 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 03:48 |
| mindrape | netsplit... ride the wave | 03:48 |
| godsyn | nickrud no dice. | 03:48 |

| DavidCanarias | Help with sudo command anyone? Where can I get a list of the possible commands | 03:49 |
| arktvrvs | godsyn: ls W<push TAB> | 03:49 |
| keewee | my /etc/hosts says 127.0.0.1 (hostname).smgroup | 03:49 |
| arktvrvs | DavidCanarias: any unix command | 03:49 |
| mindrape | DavidCanarias: man sudo | 03:49 |
| keewee | is that ok? | 03:49 |
| godsyn | DavidCanarias man sudo | 03:49 |
| keewee | sorry, that was 127.0.1.1 | 03:49 |
| nickrud | godsyn, I would rename that crap using nautilus, it's pretty smart about wierdly named files | 03:49 |
| AnnoyingMouse | my steps: | 03:49 |
| keewee | 127.0.0.1 is to localhost | 03:49 |
| cvd | DasEi, now what next | 03:50 |
| mindrape | DavidCanarias: sudo is just a command to let you use the privileges of another user (root when no parameters are passed)... any command in /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin etc | 03:50 |
| nickrud | keewee, (hostname).smgroup exactly? or the actualhostname.smgroup | 03:50 |
| arktvrvs | keewee: it says (hosname)? | 03:50 |
| nbeebo | no sound, card detected, mixers non-muted and half full, speakers working on other computer.. WHY??? :( | 03:50 |
| AnnoyingMouse | [select song][scanner][select files & directory] ... then waht? | 03:50 |
| dragon1 | can some one tell me where should i place perl scripts in ubuntu 8.10 to get them executed from web browser...? | 03:50 |
| mindrape | nbeebo - lsmod are snd drivers loaded for it? | 03:50 |
| keewee | arktvrvs it says rodrigo-eee.smgroup | 03:51 |
| arktvrvs | nbeebo: close all apps that may be using the soundcard and then open up just one | 03:51 |
| godsyn | arktvrvs it displays the directory. IE : cd W<tab tab> returns "W?adca Lalek 4 - Demon (Puppet Master 4 - The Demon)/" and "W?adca Lalek (Puppet Master)/" | 03:51 |
| arktvrvs | godsyn: then press enter | 03:51 |
| zerodevice | tritium, i've just untar the thunderbird tar file. how do i install it? | 03:51 |
| zerodevice | tritium, coz i have 0% with linux | 03:51 |
| nickrud | AnnoyingMouse, I just ran it on a temp dir, set the dropdown to rename file and directory, set the mask I wanted, hit the wierd green button next to the dropdown and all the selected files were renamed | 03:51 |
| arktvrvs | zerodevice: cd into the directory and read the README or INSTALL file | 03:51 |
| godsyn | -bash: cd: W?adca Lalek 4 - Demon (Puppet Master 4 - The Demon)/: No such file or directory | 03:51 |

| arktvrvs | unless you modify the httpd.conf and add a directory to execute scripts from | 03:57 |
| godsyn | nicrud : possiably.. no clue. | 03:57 |
| gaelfx | wendy_: it's better to pastebin the terminal output when you use the program you're having trouble with, do you know how to do that? | 03:57 |
| arktvrvs | then it must have the execute permission. | 03:57 |

| DavidCanarias | tritium: If a package like k3b doesnt work 100% I thought by removing and trying to find the latest version was an update | 03:59 |

| gaelfx | how can I edit the dependencies in a .deb package so that I can install compiz? | 03:59 |
| tritium | DavidCanarias: you'd end up removing and then installing the same version. | 04:00 |
| AnnoyingMouse | <nickrud> sry: "sudo easytag /media/XXX" | 04:00 |
| DasE1 | cvd : sure about the (too short looking) uuid ? k, line then is : | 04:00 |
| AnnoyingMouse | <nickrud> desperation | 04:00 |
| nickrud | AnnoyingMouse, I installed it just for you, as default as it gets ;) . You should reset the ownership of those files you were working on to yourself, then try running easytag again as a normal user, with no directory | 04:00 |
| tritium | gaelfx: get the source package, and modify it (note that I highly advise against this approach) | 04:00 |
| DavidCanarias | tritium: How can I find out then if there is a newer version | 04:00 |
| AnnoyingMouse | <nickrud> k. i'll try | 04:00 |
| gaelfx | tritium: but what program do I use to edit it? | 04:01 |
| arktvrvs | google is often helpful. | 04:01 |
| nbeebo | i did lsmod and all these were 0; sky2, snd_seq_dummy, snd_seq_oss, snd_seq_midi and snd_pcm_oss | 04:01 |
| keewee | thanks mindrape, arktvrvs, nickrud, the problem was with the script that toggles the wireless... found the way to fix it | 04:01 |
| DasE1 | cvd : UUID=D664-FA0B /media/files vfat auto,user, rw 0 0 | 04:01 |
| tritium | DavidCanarias: there won't be a newer version in the repository unless there is a major bug fix or security fix, until the next releasy | 04:01 |
| gaelfx | tritium: I'm going to use the list posted at packages.ubuntu.com to check against and find out what is wrong with the packages dependcy list | 04:01 |
| _2 | gaelfx if you have to ask that,... | 04:01 |
| arktvrvs | glad to hear it keewee | 04:01 |
| tritium | gaelfx: to edit what? | 04:01 |
| happycycling | any thoughts on how to fix the live cd issue? | 04:01 |

| arktvrvs | wireless problems can be very frustrating | 04:01 |
| keewee | Does anyone know what is that nm-applet asking for my password? Do I need it? | 04:01 |
| nickrud | dragon1, I've never used cgi-bin myself, about the only active stuff I've run is php driven. it's usually /var/www/cgi-bin though | 04:02 |
| AnnoyingMouse | <nickrud> nope. FAT32 disk | 04:02 |
| arktvrvs | nm is perhaps networkmanager? | 04:02 |
| gaelfx | tritium: everytime I download compiz-core, the dependencies are wrong, I need to fix it to install that and be able to do any more updates | 04:02 |

| tritium | gaelfx: I doubt the dependencies are wrong | 04:02 |
| gaelfx | tritium: ok, thanks | 04:02 |
| nbeebo | i did lsmod and all these were 0; sky2, snd_seq_dummy, snd_seq_oss, snd_seq_midi and snd_pcm_oss, can this be why my sound isnt working? | 04:02 |

| arktvrvs | tritium: what is the meaning of 'clone display' in the screen resolution manager? | 04:35 |
| cobb28 | tritium: when i go into the nvidia settings it lists as 1920x1080 and 50hz...this is a newer plasma tv shouldnt it be 60hz minimum? i think it's just the fact that i need to add a line to xorg.conf | 04:35 |
| nbeebo | plug-ins to my sound car* | 04:35 |
| arktvrvs | linguini: ifconfig | 04:35 |

| DasE1 | nbeebo: sudo reboot | 04:36 |
| linguini | arktvrvs: You mean man ifconfig? Is that preferred to ifup? | 04:36 |

| nbeebo | dase1: its the newest version | 04:37 |
| arktvrvs | cobb28: this may not help but ive found it helpful to reboot into the recovery shell and run Xorg -configure then copy the new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then reboot | 04:37 |
| arktvrvs | it gives me many more resolutions to choose from | 04:37 |
| linguini | arktvrvs: Thanks; I'll look at the man page again. Can you tell me if 'ifconfig -a' only shows the loopback interface (and not eth0/eth1), need I look elsewhere? | 04:37 |
| DasE1 | nbeebo: seems like correct driver was loaded before, do a reboot | 04:38 |
| arktvrvs | linguini: try ifconfig lo | 04:38 |
| nbeebo | dase1: oh ok brb then | 04:38 |
| linguini | arktvrvs: Here's what makes it worse - The VM is miles away; I don't have access to the VM either; I have to email my coworker the commands to invoke, and he has to paste them back to me. | 04:39 |
| arktvrvs | linguini: try googling for linux manpage ifconfig :) | 04:40 |
| arktvrvs | usually you only need a couple parameters | 04:40 |
| arktvrvs | namely, the address and netmask | 04:40 |
| arktvrvs | (ssh is a great thing :) | 04:41 |
| linguini | Yes, I'd like to ssh, but I killed my network connection to the VM, and I'm sitting on a console-only linux box that can't VNC to view the VM "console". | 04:42 |

| Diazepam | dombre - i have the same model | 04:50 |
| Diazepam | i have mine working fine | 04:50 |
| Diazepam | do an ifconfig and see if your ethernet adapter is showing | 04:51 |
| dombre | i've done that it is | 04:51 |
| nbeebo | so.. i guess i have sound.. maybe had all along, if i have mixer to max i get lil bit sound, but ALOT of background noice, i guess its because of the hardware | 04:51 |
| Diazepam | check your broadband modem - some need you to power off between disconnecting and reconnecting a new device | 04:51 |
| Diazepam | here in australia some optus cable modems dont have inbult DHCP service | 04:52 |
| DasE1 | nbeebo: don' think so , check in alsamixer: - the icons above sliders are green -pcm is risen - check input/output switches | 04:53 |
| Diazepam | so you need to power cycle the modem if you want to connect a new device and have an ip lease refreshed | 04:53 |
| dombre | interesting I'll give it a shot thanks | 04:53 |
| nbeebo | dase1: ok hope it works | 04:53 |
| Diazepam | its crappy -if this is the case see if you can upgrade your modem | 04:54 |
| nibsa1242b | why won't my computer mount dvd -r disks? | 04:54 |
| dombre | I'll just get a switch that should fix the problem. | 04:54 |
| dombre | I just haven't needed one until now. | 04:54 |

| bungieQord | Does anyone know what command I can use to find out if a file is a directory, regular file, or other? | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | sug1, your use of the term 'to enter' is confuseing.. You want a script to be a macro that 'inputs F5, then clicks?' ive seen no bash method of doing that.. some other tools may be able to do 'macros' like that.. | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | Vinceman, i tend to use k9copy actually.. or dvdrip | 05:04 |
| DasE1 | nbeebo: mostly mono , or tackle the plug, but so far everything looks right, unless you haven't muted / unswitched anything | 05:04 |

| zetheroo | luke-jr: the laptop is online atm ... | 05:06 |
| bryan | Diazepam: yes, it's current as of today | 05:06 |
| Diazepam | bryan - have you done an: $sudo aptitude update | 05:07 |
| zetheroo | luke-jr: I have another USB wireless dongle plugged in that is alowing me to be online | 05:07 |
| zetheroo | luke-jr: but the internal Atheros chip is not working properly | 05:07 |
| bryan | Diazepam: i did a sudo apt-get update | 05:07 |
| zetheroo | luke-jr: even though the proprietary driver is installed and active | 05:07 |
| luke-jr | zetheroo: I don't support illegal drivers. | 05:07 |
| Diazepam | bryan - checked your repositories to ensure they are enabled and reflect the current distro? | 05:08 |
| zetheroo | luke-jr: well actually its not propietary ... I meant the default driver | 05:08 |
| luke-jr | zetheroo: does 'iwlist scan' do much? | 05:08 |
| bryan | Diazepam: they are the current distro plus unsupported updates enabled | 05:09 |

| tritium | zetheroo: what issue are you having with it? | 05:12 |
| sug1 | I need a macro application. Does anyone know of an application to do this? | 05:12 |
| tritium | zetheroo: see the ubuntu 8.10 release notes for the AR5212. There is a required work-around if you suspend/resume. | 05:13 |
| zetheroo | tritium: since installing Intrepid I can no longer connect to visable wireless networks | 05:13 |

| zetheroo | tritium: I can see wireless networks but cannot connect to them | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | chuckc, be sure theres no extra characters - what editor did you use? ive see extra characters added if using notepad.exe or other windows editors. | 05:14 |
| tritium | zetheroo: at any time? Do you suspend/resume? | 05:14 |
| DasE1 | nbeebo: backup /etc/modules and /var/lib/alsa/asound.state , if you want to be ultra-sure, but I don't think you have to | 05:14 |

| gpled | mindrape: do you remember the command to get the mouse working in terminal? | 06:04 |
| gpled | gdm, or something | 06:04 |
| mindrape | gpled - gdm is the gnome display manager | 06:06 |
| mindrape | tritium - its mainly for troubleshooting on bootup. | 06:07 |
| mindrape | tritium - by default I config mine to get console errors written there. | 06:07 |
| tritium | mindrape: no, only during install is that true | 06:07 |
| mindrape | it's not a usable terminal according to standard unix implementations that I've been around. | 06:07 |

| mindrape | and I wasnt the one that insinuated stupidity for leaving it out as an option without realizing its purpose in standard unix. | 06:11 |

| statim | teratoma: i formated a device with mkfs.ext3 before i knew about lvm, and now i sort of know a little about it, and im guessing i should have been using lvm to handle formatting the disk and setting it up for use? i still really dont get it, other than i get the feeling i should have used lvm | 07:08 |
| Guest25962 | hello all | 07:08 |

| pen | hi | 07:14 |
| oOarthurOo | scientes_: I was just trying to tell statim that indeed I had no idea what he was talking about, in a humorous way. But from what I understand about lvm, it's good for encrypting and it's good if you want to be able to add and remove space from a partition. So... if he suddenly decides he needs 200 GB, he can add a 250GB HD to the 30GB LVm and then easily extend the partition. | 07:15 |

Also the wifi is very variable, ranging from 50% to 90% even though the AP is very near by. Can anyone suggest anything we can try? Otherwise we're going to have to go back to Linpus. | 07:31 |

| yanchoABC | so first part runs every 1st minute of the hour during office hours (7 - 16) and 2nd command runs every 15 minutes the rest of hours | 07:37 |
| koshari | yanchoABC thata a bit messy , i would use 2 tabs/ | 07:37 |
| oOarthurOo | qwertyface: As for the wifi, I've found that network manager is not as reliable as windows ever. Even when using lower level tools like iwlist scan it still reports lower values than windows from a similar distance. | 07:37 |

| qwertyface | oOarthurOo: Yeah, I'm a bit embarassed that Ubuntu hasn't worked as well as I said it would though. I don't think the strength is misreported, the throughput is low as well. It's strange, because there's lots of reports of successes with the Acer Aspire One. | 07:44 |

| koshari | all the 4 PCs in our house have linux, i keep windows on the lappie for work | 08:08 |
| koshari | i also have a vm with 2k on it for a couple of specific tasks | 08:08 |
| droopsta915 | koshari: same here, Linux at home, xp for work. | 08:09 |
| jared | the main thing i love about ubuntu is, the lack of spyware, lack of viruses infecting your system. The fact that everything is password protected. The fact that it doesnt treat you like you are a complete moron and dont know how to protect your system, except ask you for a password before ANY major change to your system. | 08:09 |
| jared | and freedom | 08:09 |
| nme | yea yea... | 08:09 |
| jared | if that explains anything properly | 08:09 |
| koshari | jared not on a live usb session its not. | 08:09 |

| jared | i mean installed | 08:10 |
| Tyrath | i'm scared i just really stuffed something up. I changed the ownership of /dev/fb0 to me. will this screw up everything? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | droopsta915: also if you plug into another pc, the hardware will probably not be identical to yours so your config may not work | 08:10 |

| rubydiamond | ActionParsnip, anyone you suggest | 08:15 |
| jared | oh, i wasnt aware. i scanned the topic for an alternative room, i must have missed it | 08:15 |
| jared | thanks | 08:15 |

| Tyrath | ActionParsnip: do you know much about the framebuffer? | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rubydiamond: there's sunbird by mozilla | 08:17 |

| tapas | it seems there is no kcontrol in kde4? | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | rubydiamond: its like "Whih is best, coke or pepsi?" | 08:17 |
| Firbfs_ | pepsi, duh | 08:17 |
| Firbfs_ | ;-) | 08:17 |
| rubydiamond | ActionParsnip, really true | 08:18 |
| jared | i have a question actaully. If i wanted to monitor sensors like fan speed, temp, etc from my notebook, what would i install? where would i begin? lm-sensors? | 08:18 |

| koshari | Firbfs oh whats wrong with mythtv | 08:21 |
| Firbfs_ | GUI is ugly | 08:21 |
| koshari | Firbfs and XBMC is a nice lite one | 08:22 |
| jared | phonon too | 08:22 |
| mhd720 | koshari, i don't see it yet, but i was never sure if it existed. thank you | 08:22 |
| koshari | Firbfs there are a lot of skins avail | 08:22 |
| Tyrath | does anyone know chown and if I happen to change the permissions in it, will that have adverse effects for the O/S if the file I change permissions for happens to be an important file (ie, the frame buffer) | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Firbfs_: xbmc not good enough for you? | 08:22 |
| Firbfs_ | havnt messed with it in awhile, will have to experiment again | 08:22 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: you don't use chown to set setuid. | 08:23 |
| Dyresen | you would use chmod | 08:23 |
| ris_ka | hi | 08:23 |
| Dyresen | setuid is a leading 4 | 08:23 |
| koshari | mhd720 type in a term cd ~/.cxoffice and it will soon tell you if it exiasts | 08:23 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: I've already used chown. if thisis bad what should I do? | 08:23 |
| Firbfs_ | Does myth support h264? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Firbfs_: http://xbmc.org/media/ | 08:23 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: btw chmod doesn't work for boot permissions (only within a session) so it's useless | 08:24 |
| Dyresen | eg chmod 4777 is giving you setuid and then read, write, execute for everyone | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | koshari: you could also use file instead of cd ;) | 08:24 |
| Firbfs_ | ok, will check out xbmc | 08:24 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: only want u+rwx | 08:24 |
| mhd720 | koshari ah i see. not there :P i'm using crossover and trying to access the windows files directly. | 08:24 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: then read the chmod manual. | 08:24 |
| Dyresen | 700 is u+rwx | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | crossover is too rich for my blood | 08:25 |
| Dyresen | chown is for changing ownerships and groups | 08:25 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: the thing I'm worried about is I've already changed permissions of the framebuffer using chown. As such if this is bad is there anyway I can undo this in order that I can actually reboot in futur | 08:25 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: thanks for the number btw | 08:25 |
| jared | ActionParsnip, looks like i need gdesklets with lm-sensors. | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jared: sounds like a plan | 08:26 |
| r2s | anyone knows to fix MF622... it seems not detecting in my freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 | 08:26 |

| r2s | ZTE MF622 | 08:26 |
| jared | ActionParsnip, thanks for the insight tho | 08:26 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: the chmod numbers goes like this. 4,2,1 and that is read,write,exectue so you just ad it up | 08:26 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: Cant help you with framebuffer, I dont care about gui stuff. | 08:26 |

| Firbfs_ | any idea if it comes in english? | 08:27 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: framebuffer affects console too tho, no? | 08:27 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: yes it does. But it's still just eye candy and not productive stuff. | 08:27 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: as such, i typed in chown chris:admin /dev/fb0 - will this stuff up my ability to use the O/S? | 08:28 |
| paul68 | Do you get any notification when you launching your iptable script through the interfaces file during (re)booting process? | 08:29 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: I cant help you with framebuffer. But generally no, root still have access to everything. | 08:29 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: what I'm trying to ask is, will I still be able to interface with the O/S even if I'm changed permissions for the framebuffer? | 08:30 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: sure | 08:30 |
| akonkwa | i'm having problems with my resolution, I'm on Intrepid, i have just installed restricted nvidia drivers, and now my resolution is set to mximum 640x480 , when before i put the driver it was at 800x600(!), When I was on hardy it was on 1280x1024. I tried changing xorg.conf by adding ad "display" subsection with the correct resolution but it still won't work. Any help? | 08:30 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: see cause I'm really scared that cause I changed the permissions for the framebuffer boot will be stuffed up | 08:31 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: just try. Worst case is that you boot in recovery, drop to a root shell and the change the permissions back. | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | akonkwa: what gfx card do you have/ | 08:31 |
| r2s | ActionParsnip: My problem is that in DMESG it is up to usb-storage ignored.. after that there's no movement or process in the MF622 ZTE | 08:31 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: how do I do that? just incase I need to boot in recovery? | 08:31 |
| akonkwa | ActionParsnip: Geforce 5200 | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | r2s: if you read the link it talks about it appearing as a drive | 08:32 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: if you are using ubuntu, you can just pick recoverymode in the grub menue. | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | akonkwa: do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 08:32 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: I don't seem to get a menu before the GUI | 08:32 |

| Tyrath | Dyresen: I just don't want to have to reinstall the O/S again | 08:34 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: ubuntu is the only O/S I have on this machine | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | akonkwa: then you'll need to install the nvidia package for your geforce | 08:35 |
| Tyrath | Dyresen: meaning all my stuff will vanish if I stuff it up | 08:35 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: well, as a last resort you can boot with a cd, mount the disk and then change permissions. | 08:35 |
| akonkwa | ActionParsnip : Do you know where I can find it ? | 08:35 |
| Dyresen | Tyrath: but if you are that scared, why are you messing with unproductive stuff on your system? | 08:36 |

| Tyrath | Dyresen: i'm tryng to get around this | 08:37 |
| akonkwa | ActionParsnip: Could you be more specific (where do I find the driver? Synaptic?) | 08:37 |

| r0land | could anyone help me out with a bandwidth limiter if possible! | 08:43 |
| KenSentMe | I've got a video-dvd iso. How can i add files to that disc and make sure other osses (windows) can read the files and the video on the disc? | 08:43 |
| koshari | is tinyurl a proxy? | 08:43 |
| r0land | the thing is , i have a SIP account on my pc, i want it to take 90 % of my connect, and the other 10 % for everything else... any advice ? | 08:43 |
| goldmetal | ActionParsnip, i see | 08:43 |
| r0land | i've tried trickle, but it doesnt do the trick.. it simply limit the bandwidth on all the interface.. and not by destination/source/application | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | koshari: no, it just makes a url smaller, they host the link for a shortspace of time and create an alias, so if the url of a page is massive (like stupid ebay or googlemaps) you can make it smaller. Its also good for hiding urls of links for email purposes | 08:45 |

| thedoc^ | Hi,new user to ubuntu - reading articles on what I wish to do in the hours to come.

| thedoc^ | just to add briefly to that, I have the old laptop in front of me now with the XP installation CD in and am at the part where setup is asking what how I want to split the 30gb's(28.6gb to be exact) - it was at this time that I thought, why not try ubuntu - so can I just shut down my laptop where it is now and when ready begin the ubuntu/xp dual boot process? | 09:09 |

| Nyquist333 | Pilot_51: I have really slow SATA read speeds. 70MB/s. I've been trying to figure this out. I don't know if it's releated to the new kernel in ubuntu. I wonder if we have a similar issue. | 09:49 |
| Flannel | jgb: mstcorefonts is in multiverse, the package will do all the magic for you | 09:49 |
| jgb | Flannel: ah, thx | 09:49 |
| koshari | BanG if you have kapote installed and wanna run it just type the file name in a terminal | 09:49 |
| thedoc^ | Flannel - thanks for those articles, i saw some similar - but will read this too - my main concern was splitting up 30gb to xp/8.10 | 09:50 |
| BanG | I do not have it installed as I do not know how to unpack the file | 09:50 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: You can always use wubi if you're unsure about repartitioning | 09:50 |
| koshari | thedoc^ you sure can linux supports ntfs quite well now | 09:50 |
| Pilot_51 | I have PATA and it's identified as sda in Intrepid | 09:50 |
| koshari | thedoc the real trick is getting grub sorted, | 09:50 |
| Nyquist333 | Wow. Ok, I won't complain anymore. That has to suck. There is a switch NO_IDE or something that might help. Have you tried that? | 09:51 |
| koshari | Pilot_51 is that a problem? | 09:51 |
| thedoc^ | Flannel - i have at the moment an old ibm thinkpad that i just wiped, and am at the xp partition selector setup section - just decided that i want to try ubuntu on this -so it's a fresh from scratch install | 09:51 |
| Flannel | Pilot_51: thats normal | 09:51 |
| Nyquist333 | No, I think Pilot_51 | 09:51 |
| Nyquist333 | problem is the | 09:51 |
| Pilot_51 | From the looks of it, it's supposed to be that way with recent kernels, but it still seems to cause trouble with hdparm | 09:51 |

| dNetFox | any body know how can i make a irc channel? | 09:52 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: Well, 30G certainly isn't a whole lot. What are you wondering about specifically? | 09:52 |
| jgb | Flannel: mstcorefonts in multiverse is just a meta package, which downloads the exe's just like cxoffice, albeit from the SF servers... | 09:52 |
| Flannel | jgb: Correct. But it runs it successfully (as far as Ive found). | 09:53 |

| jgb | Flannel: cxoffice also runs correctly, IF you are connected to the internet. I am trying to set cxoffice up on a PC that won't have internet connectivity | 09:54 |
| thedoc^ | can i not continue with the xp partition setup? i alread have 30gb to allocate - i was going to follow one of the more recent articles on setting up the dual boot os | 09:54 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: You can definately do that. Ubuntu only takes a few gigs (2?) to install, and will live happily in around 10 or so (giving you some space for your own stuff) | 09:55 |
| Nyquist333 | Pilot_51: Can you run hdparm before it switches? Are the reads faster? | 09:55 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: The easiest way to dual boot is to install windows, then install linux. | 09:55 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: so, go ahead and continue with XP, and go ahead and make that partition your final size, with freespace around it. That'll be the most straight forward way. | 09:55 |
| Pilot_51 | This is what it is before it screws up: | 09:55 |

| Pilot_51 | Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.03 seconds = 56.03 MB/sec | 09:56 |
| Pilot_51 | With hdparm -I before and after, the only thing that changes is the udma setting | 09:57 |
| dNetFox | Flannel: do u know how can i create a irc channel? | 09:57 |
| thedoc^ | so cool Flannel - i have the laptop in front of me - so it says, max size for partition is 28608MB / i'll just create a partition size of 10GB first? | 09:58 |

| thedoc^ | and run a defrag before the live cd install too | 10:08 |
| zaaaa | aiiiiiiiiiiii..... | 10:08 |
| Nyquist333 | There was also something called fstune, it might not be used anymore. I'm new to linux, but I've come across a lot of outdated stuff. You can also run fsck. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | zaaaa: stop please. | 10:08 |
| Nyquist333 | Well, maybe there was a log. | 10:08 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: Yes, when you get to the Ubuntu CD, you'll have a similar screen asking you what to partition, etc. | 10:10 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: You don't have to defrag actually, since you won't be touching that partition. | 10:11 |
| thedoc^ | alright Flannel :) but defragging won't be necessary on a freshly created partition xp install? | 10:12 |
| jin | any program to rip audio and convert to mp3 on Ubuntu? | 10:12 |
| thedoc^ | since perhaps it's being formatted when creating the partition - | 10:12 |
| Flannel | thedoc^: won't be necessary because it'll be fresh, btu also, won't be necessary even if it werent, since you're not resizing that partition, only putting stuff on the unallocated spcae | 10:12 |
| thedoc^ | okay sounds good so far :) | 10:13 |
| jaycee1 | Hi everyone. Does any body know a way to install vlc without internet connection.Maybe a complete deb file with all dependencies and all? My friend needs it. | 10:14 |
| mabus | jaycee1: completely remove the package, clear your apt-cache, reinstall the package, and give him the contents of the directory apt-get downloads too (unsure) | 10:15 |
| dns53 | jaycee1 yes you can get the debs manually, run apt-get clean, and use the download only option | 10:16 |
| jaycee1 | ok thnks everyone | 10:16 |
| mabus | dns53: will download only fetch the contents of dependencies he already has installed though? | 10:17 |
| vinnie | hello all i hav only 3.5 GB left in my partition so now upgradin to 8.10 from 8.04LTS will leave any space behind | 10:18 |

| paul68 | mgolisch: ? | 11:16 |
| bimberi | sinuc: the dget command can do that. otherwise apt-get with the -d switch will download to /var/cache/apt/archives | 11:18 |
| sinuc | bimberi: thanks dude, but just asked because i wanted a quick answer, i found the option a few seconds later in the manpage | 11:20 |
| sinuc | bimberi: but aptitude download is also there | 11:20 |

| guest0020 | I can't acess the forums ,too | 12:18 |
| ogzy | is there a restriction about installing Ubuntu to a laptop and sell it in this way? | 12:18 |
| guest0020 | ogzy: No.You can use the OEM install if you want | 12:18 |
| ogzy | ok | 12:18 |
| ogzy | guest0020, how about if it is charged, i mean can it be sold also? | 12:19 |
| ogzy | guest0020, i mean the OS itself | 12:19 |
| guest0020 | ogzy: I am not a lawyer, but as long as you do not charge for the OS itself, you are free to redistribute it | 12:20 |
| ogzy | guest0020, ok | 12:20 |
| Netcowboy | It's back online | 12:20 |
| `Ams | guys i set up a pptp vpn server on my ubuntu machine. i can connect to it from home but after that i can't browse any websites or do anything at all. someone told me i need to change the iptables can someone tell me which/what to do ? :( | 12:20 |
| Netcowboy | I mean the fourms | 12:20 |
| Slart | ogzy: check the ubuntu.com site.. there has to be some kind of "legal" info | 12:20 |
| jasper_ | wa | 12:21 |
| Netcowboy | `Ams, I'm havn da same problem | 12:21 |
| jasper_ | just installed xubunto today | 12:21 |
| jasper_ | how to put terminal shortcut on desktop? | 12:21 |
| ikonia | `Ams: one you vpn onto that server, that server needs to be able to route you out onto the internet or act as a proxy for you | 12:21 |
| guest0020 | jasper_: Drag it to the desktop from the menu | 12:21 |
| ikonia | `Ams: once you connect to that server, you are no longer "on the internet" but on that server's private lan | 12:22 |
| HiSPeed | mh, funny, i must be the only one ever to use apache >= 2.2.8 on ubuntu ;) | 12:22 |
| NightElf | I have Samsung R560 (CPU: P8400, 4GB DD3Ram, NVidia GFm 9600) Notebook, i've installed Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and like you have heard 1000times my ACPI isnt working, anyone got a solution | 12:22 |
| ompaul | !pptp | `Ams for this reason alone I would not use pptp ever - try openvpn works on lots of different O/S's | 12:22 |
| ubottu | `Ams for this reason alone I would not use pptp ever - try openvpn works on lots of different O/S's: pptp is not good according to Bruce Schneier http://schneier.com/pptp.html here the words insecurity are useful | 12:22 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: iI doubt that | 12:22 |
| ablyss | khmer42: in .bashrc you can have a batch script read "myscript() { command 1 ; command 2 ; command 3 ... ect } ; " its more practical than running a single app | 12:22 |
| jasper_ | whats the latest version for ubunto? | 12:23 |
| jasper_ | ubuntu* | 12:23 |
| HiSPeed | me too.. but since this is so basic I would have expected an answer about the whereabouts of mod_access in ubuntu's apache2 build :) | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jasper_: intrepid | 12:23 |
| HiSPeed | and no, it s not compiled in.. | 12:23 |
| jasper_ | give me some link where to download | 12:23 |
| maek0 | yay ubuntu forms back up now | 12:23 |
| ompaul | jasper_, www.ubuntu.com | 12:23 |
| jasper_ | tnx | 12:23 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: is it not in the modules-available ? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ompaul: that was easy ;) | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !torrents | jasper_ | 12:24 |
| ubottu | jasper_: Intrepid can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). | 12:24 |
| `Ams | Netcowboy; so we both need help :) | 12:24 |
| HiSPeed | ikonia: it s not in apache2 -l, it s not in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/, it s not in mods-available either ;) | 12:24 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: maybe no-one built it | 12:25 |
| `Ams | ompaul; i know about openvpn but pptp works easiest with windows | 12:25 |
| ikonia | `Ams: did you read what I explained to you ? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !vpn | 12:25 |
| ubottu | From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD | 12:25 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: is it in the repo as a seperate download package ? | 12:25 |
| vorsprung | i dunno about 2.2 but isn't mod_access a builtin in earlier versions | 12:25 |
| HiSPeed | yeah.. or to be more specific: _someone_ decided to remove mod_access from the default apache2 (despite it being a pretty much needed DEFAULT module), create a build with it and then upload it to the repos | 12:25 |
| HiSPeed | nope it isnt | 12:26 |
| JMS32 | Hello. I have some trubles with installation of ubuntu: | 12:26 |
| `Ams | ikonia; yes but it's too technical i just want a proxy not learn how to become network technician :) | 12:26 |
| HiSPeed | at least not that i could see | 12:26 |
| ikonia | `Ams: if you want a proxy - why are you using a vpn ? | 12:26 |
| HiSPeed | maybe it got a name like apache2_mod_hahayouwontguesswhatsinhere | 12:26 |
| JMS32 | All installation to hard drive is ok, BUT where is must be GRUB my computer is rebooting. | 12:26 |
| chombee | Is it me, or are unix file permissions silly when it comes to removable devices such as usb drives? A friend just plugged in a usb drive that was previously used on a mac to his ubuntu machine and couldn't access any of the files cause his username doesn't have permission. What's the point in this? It's just annoying, and doesn't actually prevent access, he just has to change the file permissions with sudo, or even create a new user with the same na | 12:26 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: I can't check the repos myself as I don't have an ubuntu install to hand to test, just thinking out loud | 12:26 |
| ikonia | chombee: nothing to do with ubuntu | 12:27 |
| vorsprung | HiSPeed: I don't know a lot about 2.2 but I would guess that the new filters or whatever they are called make some of the stuff mod_access does not so useful | 12:27 |
| gavimobile | folks.. this isnt an urgent question, however my transmission torrent client has been downloading really slow.. no firewall is enabled in my router or ubuntu desktop, and i forwarded my transmission port which is currently open. any ideas/suggestions? | 12:27 |
| chombee | ikonia how so? | 12:27 |
| `Ams | ikonia; because it gives me another IP and that's all i expect from it :) | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: how many peers do you have for the file? | 12:27 |
| HiSPeed | ikonia, well you were going along the same ideas of mine.. i mean come on it s a frigging default module.. in other words: unpack apache2 source, ./configure, make, make install, oh hi mod_access ;) | 12:27 |
| guest0020 | gavimobile: Did you tried with Deluge?Might be a problem with transmission | 12:27 |
| ikonia | chombee: ubuntu didn't invite and define or maintain the linux file system model | 12:27 |
| ikonia | `Ams: you dont - you expect more, as your saying it's not working | 12:27 |
| khmer42 | ablyss: Thanks for the response. I'm still lost though. Basically to explain my problem I have a JavaScript application in ~/workspace/myApp/myScript.js I meed to launch it using the JavaScript interpreter Rhino i.e $ rhino ~/workspace/myApp/myScript.js to save all that typing I want to be able to just type $ myApp from anywhere and the previous command will be launched. | 12:28 |
| vorsprung | chombee: you have to fiddle with groups | 12:28 |
| gavimobile | guest0020, never heard of deluge, however can i resume my current downloads if i set the same download location? | 12:28 |
| `Ams | isn't that given though? lol | 12:28 |
| ikonia | `Ams: no | 12:28 |
| HiSPeed | or is that ubuntu's way of saying "we dont need access restrictions on our webserver, let s all move a little closer instead" ? ;) | 12:28 |
| JMS32 | No ideas? | 12:28 |
| guest0020 | gavimobile: Yes.It makes a hash check | 12:28 |
| gavimobile | ActionParsnip, i have 3 downloads and each one is 12 - 20 | 12:28 |
| chombee | ikonia The problem is that on ubuntu, if you use an external device like that and put your files on it, then it give it to someone else and they plug it into their machine, they can't access the iles without fiddling with the permisssions as root first | 12:28 |
| eviking | my asus eee / ubuntu 8.04 occationally hangs at shutdown. The orange progress bar the shows that is almost 75% "finished". How can i disable the progress bar screen, so I can see what process it freezen on? | 12:28 |
| gavimobile | guest0020, ill give that a try... thanks | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: if you have 2 peers on dialup connections, the file transfer is going to suck | 12:28 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: do'nt know about that.........I would expect it to be available, as you say it is quite a key module | 12:28 |
| gavimobile | ActionParsnip, im on a 1.5 mbps connection | 12:29 |
| guest0020 | gavimobile: It's in the repositories I think, if not the main page of deluge has a .deb package | 12:29 |
| gavimobile | i set my download to 250 download and 50 upload | 12:29 |
| ikonia | chombee: thats nothing to do wiht ubuntu, thats generic across ANY os, mac/windows/etc on any file system that support permissions | 12:29 |
| HiSPeed | i would expect it to at least be available as a separate package, if not compiled into apache itself | 12:29 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: and I would agree | 12:29 |
| NightElf | is there realy no one who knows how to repair acpi | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: try setting the minimum speed higher | 12:29 |
| chombee | vorsprung -- I don't believe so, his ubuntu user has access to usb devices etc., problem is the files on the device are owned by a different username, and their permissions are set to let that user only read them | 12:29 |
| gavimobile | guest0020, good information... however i doubt transmission is the problem because ive never had a problem with transmission before | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | chombee, if its using ext2/3 you could (and this is NOT a good idea), chmod 777, the files/mountpoint/flesystem. Not sure of what problems that may cause later on. | 12:29 |
| gavimobile | ActionParsnip, higher than 250? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: might be called, connect to peers if speed is below | 12:29 |
| gavimobile | i cant get 3 donwloads to total more than 70k | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: i dont use it, i use ktorrent but you might be able to get more speed that way | 12:30 |
| HiSPeed | ikonia: does ubuntu have a way of masking unwanted packages by version number? | 12:30 |
| gavimobile | ActionParsnip, i dont have an option like that in transmission | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: thats the maximum download? | 12:30 |
| chombee | dr_willis What I told him to do was run nautilus as root and use that to recursively change the file permissions | 12:30 |
| ikonia | dr_willis I don't understand the grip with this issue, it's teh same on windows, if you assign permissons to an ntfs file system and put it in anotehr windows box, it will be still owned by the wrong user until administrator takes ownership | 12:30 |
| vorsprung | HiSPeed: read this http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html#module | 12:30 |
| gavimobile | ActionParsnip, yes | 12:30 |
| ikonia | dr_willis: s/grip/gripe | 12:30 |
| ikonia | dr_willis: s/grip/gripee | 12:30 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed nope | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: no minimum download speed | 12:30 |
| gavimobile | my top speed downloads at about 250/300 from a fast server | 12:31 |
| ikonia | HiSPeed: it may be worth just logging a quick bug on this to the apache maintainer team | 12:31 |
| gavimobile | no minimum | 12:31 |
| vorsprung | ikonia: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html#module | 12:31 |
| gavimobile | ActionParsnip, i just found a min limit speed i believe | 12:31 |
| gavimobile | it was in the options for the specified torrent selected | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | chombee, You could just mount the drive once.. and 'sudo chmod -R 777 /media/mountpoint' (i think) and then any system should be able to fully access the drive.. (and yes this IS a bad security risk) :) | 12:31 |
| HiSPeed | vorsprung: lol, argh.. mod_authz_host :) | 12:31 |
| gavimobile | no.. its not it | 12:32 |
| HiSPeed | the apache peeps renamed mod_access to mod_authz_host | 12:32 |
| ikonia | vorsprung NICE find | 12:32 |
| gavimobile | this setting is to specify a limit download or upload speed for a specific torrent | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | ikonia, i dont even know HOW to assign permissions to a ntfs that way under windows. :) | 12:32 |
| HiSPeed | thanks a lot, vorsprung :) | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | gavimobile: hmmm, try limiting your upload a little more, see if it creeps up | 12:32 |
| chombee | dr_willis Yeah I know but I had to advise him on the phone, so I didn't want to risk that, since I have to get him to tell me the mountpoint, | 12:32 |
| HiSPeed | i was starting to think i was having delusions here.. | 12:32 |

| ubottu | jasper_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 12:36 |
| ikonia | `Ams I've explained what you need to do | 12:36 |
| NightElf | I have Samsung R560 (CPU: P8400, 4GB DD3Ram, NVidia GFm 9600) Notebook, i've installed Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and like you have heard 1000times my ACPI isnt working, anyone got a solution | 12:37 |
| Ninina | dr_willis Ok I'll check there | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | `Ams: make sure your ip you are assigned by your vpn is not the same network your other network uses | 12:37 |
| `Ams | ikonia; you haven't or else i would have copy/pasted it into the shell window :P | 12:37 |
| `Ams | ActionParsnip the IPs are set up right | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | `Ams: like 192.168.0.x on both networks will cause a network confusion and you will get nothing | 12:38 |
| ikonia | `Ams I have todl you what needs to be done, I have not given you the exact commands as thats up to you to work out your network ranges | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | `Ams: ok can i have the output of ifconfig in a pastebin please | 12:38 |
| `Ams | ActionParsnip all that's needed now is the right iptables command to get this working... | 12:38 |
| `Ams | ok | 12:38 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: his default gatewa is not routing the ppp range to the internet connected device on his server, it's that simple, and he has no forwarding set up | 12:38 |
| tyrchyus | Hi my theme change when i us amarok.. is a qt problem? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: i'll just check this. Ive seen poor addressing before (too many 192.168.0.0/24 networks) | 12:39 |

| ani | hey guys.when i try to enable the normal visual effects at system->appearance, my alt+tab combination stops working but it does when i disable that and come back to no effects | 12:54 |
| luddite | bugaloo ^ | 12:54 |
| bugaloo | luddite, honestly... I have no idea, lol | 12:54 |
| luddite | hahah | 12:54 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: ok - so your current user is in the "admin" group, which meants it can perform root actions with the use of the "sudo" command | 12:54 |
| luddite | ok | 12:54 |
| luddite | thanks bugaloo | 12:54 |
| bugaloo | but dispatcher always start together when in "auto" mode | 12:54 |
| fosco_ | ani: try super+tab | 12:54 |
| bugaloo | luddite, I don't now about the fluxbox question... I dont use it | 12:55 |
| jasper_ | how can i change logon screen? | 12:55 |
| fosco_ | jasper_: sudo gdmsetup | 12:56 |
| bugaloo | jasper_, gdmsetup | 12:56 |
| ani | fosco_: no it does not work with that | 12:56 |
| luddite | bugaloo -apart from wireless fluxbox is the ultimate on a laptop | 12:56 |
| sinuc | or search for the funky icon that opens the gdm config :P | 12:56 |
| fatherjack | ikonia: hmm whats the reason then i cannot use that disk? i can see some folder but not them all.. but i cant save or anything.. can i do i tried use chmod for that disk but didnt help | 12:56 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: is the disk mounted now ? | 12:56 |
| sinuc | fatherjack: you can check by just typing $ mount | 12:56 |
| fatherjack | ikonia: yes it is, but folders are like "locked" | 12:56 |
| sinuc | read only? | 12:57 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: that disk must be mounted wihtout read permissions for your user | 12:57 |
| sinuc | i didnt follow everything | 12:57 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: where is the disk mounted | 12:57 |
| fosco_ | ani: once desktop effects are enabled, execute ccsm and activate application switcher plugins | 12:57 |
| ikonia | sinuc: looks like just simple file system permissons for a non-privileged user | 12:57 |
| fatherjack | ikonia: emm its in /media/disk | 12:57 |
| jasper_ | where can i download additional logon screens for ubuntu? | 12:57 |
| fosco_ | jasper_: gnome-look.org | 12:57 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: ok, can you show me (in a pastebin if it's big) the output of ls -la /media | 12:58 |
| fatherjack | ikonia: can i unmount it somehow and mount again with privileges? | 12:58 |
| bugaloo | jasper_, also art.gnome.org | 12:58 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: ok, can you show me (in a pastebin if it's big) the output of ls -la /media | 12:58 |
| ani | fosco_: whats ccsm | 12:58 |
| fosco_ | ani: compiz configurator | 12:58 |
| Caesi | hullo, could anyone tell me what red and green-highlighted files mean in the terminal? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Caesi: different file types and permissions | 12:59 |
| Caesi | ikonia: thanks, and what do they mean respectively? | 12:59 |
| fatherjack | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d4d0ce607 | 12:59 |
| cobalt6700 | hi guys, are the forums not working? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Caesi should be able to see the permissons on the files with ls -la | 12:59 |
| Caesi | ikonia: thanks | 13:00 |
| bugaloo | Caesi, green is executable | 13:00 |
| Caesi | ok | 13:00 |
| bugaloo | Caesi, for default | 13:00 |
| Caesi | thanks bugaloo | 13:00 |
| cobalt6700 | ? | 13:00 |
| ikonia | fatherjack: so according to those permissions your user should be able to go into that directory and at least view the contents | 13:00 |
| bugaloo | Caesi, and red I think red are the compressed files | 13:00 |
| ani | fosco_: thanks for that | 13:01 |
| Caesi | ok.. I was just asking because I have three tar files and the first one is marked green whereas the other two are red | 13:01 |
| bugaloo | Caesi, hm... probably the first one is with exec permission | 13:01 |
| fosco_ | Caesi: mostly sure the green one has +x permission | 13:02 |
| sinuc | hmhmhm | 13:02 |
| Caesi | ah ok.. I've just tar xvvf-ed the first one, see what happens ;) | 13:02 |
| sinuc | the mount issue there | 13:02 |
| SeeWhy | hi all | 13:02 |
| bugaloo | Caesi, should work | 13:02 |
| SeeWhy | how about your average boot time ? | 13:02 |
| sinuc | try umount the device, chown youruser:youruser the mountpoint and remount | 13:02 |
| Caesi | thanks a lot bugaloo, ikonia & fophillips | 13:02 |
| bugaloo | Caesi, but if you want to "ungreen" it, hehe... you can chmod -x file.tar | 13:02 |
| Caesi | fosco_: I mean :) | 13:03 |
| Caesi | no I think I'll leave it alone :) | 13:03 |
| fosco_ | :) | 13:03 |
| bugaloo | ok then :) | 13:03 |
| SeeWhy | how about your average ubuntu installation boot time ? | 13:03 |

| sipior | sliverchair: i was thinking of "user agent switcher", but there are many options for this. | 13:39 |

| PassionFRUI7E | Any way to individually pick cursors? | 13:46 |
| dark-a | LjL, i also put up a output command.. would that effect it.. 3 1 * * * /usr/bin/backup > ~/backuplog/bk-`date +"%d-%m-%y"` | 13:46 |
| sunil | jrib: I don't think that trinsans solution will match mine. His problem was that his web server was never running. Mine is. | 13:47 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Cursors reside in ~/.icons. | 13:47 |

| viraptor | I've got a system where some process goes crazy once in a while - load goes up to 8, or so - but the main process on ps goes only up to 10% cpu - how can I find the cause of that load? | 13:48 |
| sunil | jrib: gives a two-line output: | 13:48 |
| sunil | traceroute to faustina (127.168.1.81), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 faustina (127.168.1.81) 0.033 ms 0.009 ms 0.007 ms | 13:49 |
| LjL | dark-a: it shouldn't | 13:49 |
| LjL | dark-a: but, is it actually 1am...? | 13:49 |
| dark-a | not its set for 3 am | 13:50 |
| jrib | sunil: so it looks like it's just firefox then? | 13:50 |
| sunil | no - GET returns a page from faustina.com | 13:51 |
| blip- | hi, can someone please post for me the default menu.lst for an ubuntu 8.04 install ? i want to know what the boot flags are since i've gotten things messed up | 13:51 |
| sunil | so GET seems to ignore the hosts file as well | 13:51 |
| joaospinto | can you help me? need to sync some subtitles | 13:51 |
| jrib | sunil: right | 13:51 |
| jrib | sunil: try telnet | 13:52 |
| steveccc | is there a way to install or convert so i can install a rpm on ubuntu | 13:52 |
| sunil | my network has gone all twilight zone. | 13:52 |
| sunil | Trying 127.168.1.81... | 13:52 |
| sunil | telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused | 13:52 |
| jasper_ | is emerald free to download? | 13:52 |
| jrib | sunil: what are you serving again? | 13:53 |
| sunil | jrib: at least telnet tries the correct ip | 13:53 |
| JMS32 | what differnce with su and sudo? | 13:53 |
| DIFH-iceroot | JMS32: sudo is for one command, su is for "getting root all the time" see also man su and man sudo | 13:54 |
| jrib | JMS32: su is to switch users, sudo is to run a command as super-user | 13:54 |
| sunil | well, faustina hosts my local development web server. As well as offering SSH to the internal network | 13:54 |
| jasper_ | where to download emerald theme manager? | 13:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | jasper_: apt-get i think | 13:55 |
| jrib | sunil: so you expect to get a web page right? telnet faustina 80 does what? | 13:55 |
| dark-a | LjL, its set for 3am | 13:55 |
| LjL | dark-a: no, it isn't. 3 is the minute, 1 is the hour | 13:56 |
| sunil | Yes. I expect to get one the default vhost. | 13:56 |
| Hikefu | jasper_, sudo apt-get install emerald | 13:56 |
| grub_booter | hi - am running intrepid here and quite often getting problems with pulseaudio and alsa - the only fix i've found so far involves a reboot, but does anyone know of a less obtrusive solution? basically, i get "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" when trying to restart pulseaudio | 13:56 |
| dark-a | LjL, in the crontab isnt the order m h dom mon dow | 13:56 |
| Hikefu | jasper_, then run emerald-theme-manager from the command line or look for it in the gnome menu | 13:57 |
| sunil | jrib: telnet just hangs when trying to connect | 13:57 |
| sunil | jrib: no! ... | 13:57 |
| sunil | Telnet does something wierd!... | 13:57 |
| LjL | dark-a: yes. "m h" as in "minute hour". you wrote "3 1", so 3 would be the minute, and 1 the hour. | 13:57 |
| danub | hey all, what is the package that allows me to download themes and desktops and stuff? it was like art manager or something back in ubuntu7.4 | 13:57 |
| jrib | sunil: eh? | 13:57 |
| YukiLEE | sudo cat /dev/input/mice , then move the mouse, but there is nothing. why? | 13:58 |
| sunil | I'll paste... | 13:58 |
| LjL | !paste | 13:58 |
| 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) | 13:58 |
| dark-a | LjL, yea sorry its acutly set as 1 3 in my crontab | 13:58 |

| kanhiya78 | hello everybody , will anybody tell me how to run a program using k develop | 13:59 |
| sunil | jrib: telnet claims to connect to 192..168.1.81 | 13:59 |
| LjL | sunil: it's not weird | 13:59 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: shift+F9 | 13:59 |
| sunil | but, it has actually connected to the localhost | 13:59 |
| sunil | no ? | 13:59 |
| kanhiya78 | it is a simple program to find out sum of two numbers | 13:59 |
| LjL | sunil: well yes, the address is weird | 13:59 |
| Hikefu | !alien | 14:00 |
| 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) | 14:00 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: ok thank u | 14:00 |
| sunil | LjL: it sure is | 14:00 |
| sunil | LjL: it's completely wierding me out | 14:00 |
| Faust-C | how do you reactivate bluetooth w/o restarting | 14:00 |
| dark-a | LjL, have a look at the actual script see if anything is wrong there | 14:00 |
| dark-a | http://pastebin.com/df57d160 | 14:00 |
| danub | anyone know what the package name is for the application that allows for downloading and installing themes from a kde website? | 14:00 |
| sunil | LjL: that address belongs to the webserver, but the result from the GET is actually returning a result from my localhost | 14:01 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: it is not working | 14:01 |
| sunil | LjL: _that_ is highly wierd | 14:01 |
| LjL | dark-a: there shouldn't be a newline after "sudo -u zimbra zmcontrol -v >", i believe | 14:01 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: what's it say? your code probably has bugs in it. | 14:01 |
| Faust-C | !bluetooth | 14:01 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 14:01 |
| mattgyver83 | why is it that everytime i fetch my email from evolution it does not download all of it from the server, i have to fetch like 3 times before im finally current. Is there a max setting somewhere? | 14:01 |
| jrib | sunil: your /etc/hosts has 127.168.1.81, that's correct? You don't mean 192 there? | 14:01 |
| chrisinajar | 127 :| | 14:02 |
| sunil | jrib: gah! | 14:02 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: give me step by step guide i am new to linux and very new to programming | 14:02 |
| sunil | jrib: I stab my eyes! | 14:02 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: what should be file name extension | 14:03 |
| runpain2 | unbeliveable i am running Ubuntu CE on an old hp omnibook 4150 | 14:03 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: step 1: open kdevelop, step 2: open a project, or start a new one, step 3: write your code (there are awesome tutorials out there to teach you basic syntax), step 4: compile (F8) step 5: Run the program | 14:03 |
| dark-a | LjL, sorry its the way pasted I editited with nano | 14:03 |
| DavidCanarias | Can anyone advise if I have a resolvable problem plse? When I Google an adsl speed test I click on a page and have several options. When I click the first I am told Not Found , The requested URL XXX was not found on this server. Do I have to reconfigure something???? | 14:03 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: there aren't filename extentions for binaries in linux. | 14:03 |
| runpain2 | with wireless pcmcia card | 14:03 |
| sunil | jrib: thank you | 14:04 |
| LjL | dark-a, i don't know, try just using /etc/crontab | 14:04 |
| sunil | jrib: I knew I was doing something dumb. | 14:04 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: it'll be like... /path/to/your/project/bin/projectname | 14:04 |
| danub | DavidCanarias: unless you own the webserver hosting whatever link you clicked, not likely anything you can do about it | 14:04 |
| dark-a | LjL, is there a way of checking if cron at least tryed to execute it.. | 14:04 |
| notplus_M | How would I go about getting the java plugin for 64 bit Opera? | 14:04 |
| LjL | dark-a: should be in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages | 14:05 |
| dark-a | LjL, is there a log file somthere | 14:05 |
| jack__ | hey | 14:05 |
| jack__ | idk | 14:05 |

| jack__ | jack me off | 14:05 |
| DavidCanarias | danub: So where would the problem be coming from, any ideas? | 14:05 |
| jrib | LjL: forget something? | 14:05 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: if you're used to windows, nothing will make sense at first... then you'll have more and more "aha!" moments, seeing how logical everything in linux is... eventually you realize how much windows totally doesn't make any sense at all :-P | 14:05 |
| chrisinajar | That's generally the learning curve... | 14:05 |
| bahadunn | has anyone seen constant disk activity during idle when the monitor is off in 8.10? | 14:05 |

| jasper_ | LOL | 14:06 |
| Mythril | what is with vlc showing the color channels at different positions in some videos? | 14:06 |
| danub | if you can browse google, yahoo, aol, msn, etc... its not your problem or can do anything about | 14:06 |
| DavidCanarias | danub: Ah ok thanks. I am trying to do an adsl speed check. Do you a good web site to do this for me? | 14:06 |
| jasper_ | wheew alas all updates downloaded | 14:06 |
| dark-a | LjL, lol.. I should have looked at it straight away.. it says that rdiff-backup which is the original app that I used instead of cp -Rp needs password.. to execute.. | 14:07 |
| jasper_ | took me several hours | 14:07 |
| danub | i believe there is a site called bandwidthspeedtest.com or something similiar | 14:07 |
| waterloo | is there a workaround for installing nvidia-glx 71 series driver in 8.10? | 14:07 |
| danub | thats the one i always use when i need to conduct a quick speed test | 14:07 |
| dorgan | hello everyone | 14:07 |
| jasper_ | clear | 14:07 |
| xxploit | waterloo: download it from nvidia's site and install it? | 14:07 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: i write and saved the program and press f8 to compile it but nothing happens | 14:07 |
| danub | there is also another site called dslreports.com that has a speedtest too that i have used before DavidCanarias | 14:07 |
| dorgan | so i am using exim to relay everything through gmail, most of the time it works...lately I started having issues when its sending cron output | 14:08 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: once it's compiled, if there were no errors, then there is now a binary in the folder you're working out of... | 14:08 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: run that | 14:08 |
| DavidCanarias | danub. Very kind of you and thks for yr help. | 14:08 |
| dorgan | wants to send as root@domain and gmail doesnt like that | 14:08 |
| dorgan | how do i change who root sends as | 14:08 |
| waterloo | xxploit, but the Release Notes say that the 8.10 xorg.conf is not compatible with legacy drivers | 14:08 |
| xxploit | waterloo: is there a reason you want to install such an old driver? | 14:08 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: i press shift+f9 and nothing happened again | 14:09 |
| danub | NP DavidCanarias | 14:09 |
| waterloo | xxploit, yea...coz i got an old geforce 2 card | 14:09 |
| chrisinajar | kanhiya78: then you're code doesn't work, there are some awesome online tutorials on how to program, check them out. | 14:09 |
| dorgan | i am also seeing this in the logs: "A TLS packet with an unexpected length was received." | 14:09 |
| karooga | hi is anyone here still running gutsy? I'm having problems upgrading hplip-data. | 14:10 |
| InHisName1 | When one app fades to grey, what does that mean? | 14:10 |
| dorgan | anyone have an ideas on how to fix this? | 14:10 |
| jrib | sunil: no problem | 14:10 |
| kanhiya78 | chrisinajar: are you able to give me a link please | 14:10 |
| xxploit | waterloo: I think unless something changed, once you install the driver it will complain about something which I forget and will not load X. But if you start X with the --ignore option(maybe its ABI I dont remember anymore) it mite then work. I think that is what used to be the problem with xorg 7.4 and the older nvidia drivers. | 14:11 |
| yowshi2 | why is it locked or not my panel icons keep moving around every few reboots | 14:11 |
| Dj_Deux | hi | 14:11 |

| LjL | irpapabear, are you sure you've got the right person? i haven't asked any question. | 14:26 |
| erUSUL | slayton: no, you do not control it there | 14:26 |
| irpapabear | LiL did you not ask about what wifi cards work in ubuntu? | 14:27 |
| erUSUL | slayton: udev whatch for kernel device events and creates and sets up the divece files for them in /dev/ | 14:27 |
| LjL | irpapabear, no, i didn't. apo did, and he needs one for an EeePc. | 14:27 |
| slayton | erUSUL, how would I use udev to set the group on a device whenever its plugged in? | 14:27 |
| irpapabear | oh my bad...sorry | 14:27 |
| erUSUL | slayton: when you plug your web cam it gets the vent and creates /dev/video0 or wfor example | 14:27 |
| goodmami | are stardict and pcmanx included on a fresh intrepid install? | 14:27 |
| erUSUL | slayton: you have to tweak or create a udev rule for the device | 14:28 |

| slayton | erUSUL, what file would I edit for a dc1394 camera? | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | slayton: it is a webcam? or photo? | 14:29 |
| slayton | its an IIDC camera | 14:29 |
| slayton | but i guess its closer to a webcam | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | slayton: maybe you just needs to add yourself to the "video" group ?? tht seems like a cleaner solution | 14:30 |
| wers | how do I adjust the scroll part of my synaptic touch pad? :) | 14:30 |
| slayton | erUSUL, so I created a video group, added myself to the video group, then did chmgrp video /dev/*1394 | 14:31 |
| slayton | but that didn't work so I thought I'd try udev | 14:31 |

| goodmami | just today I noticed that two new programs (stardict and pcmanx-gtk) were installed, but I did not install them. I wonder if they are part of the default intrepid install, or what. does anybody know? | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | slayton: the video group is already created on the system. and as i can read on /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | slayton: udev already assings firewire devs to video group (or disk group if it is firewire hard disk) | 14:33 |
| onats | help, i'm getting grub error 2 | 14:33 |

| santor | nickrud: i have a pidgin icon and power management, but no network manager | 15:11 |
| SpikeDrak | ActionParsnip: actually top always says i have 75% or more cpu idle but if i add up all the cp% in the list of processes for top its over 100 | 15:12 |

| 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 | 15:18 |
| jerbear | if i've got a patch to an existing package (network-manager-pptp in this case), how would i go about putting the modified package on my ppa (i already have this setup)? | 15:18 |
| user01 | santor, its not giving me the option to do a self signed one | 15:18 |
| user01 | santor, it just says error | 15:18 |
| DRebellion | jerbear, ask in #ubuntu-motu | 15:18 |
| user01 | user01, how do i self sign one? | 15:18 |
| santor | user01: you create it on the server, will a self signed one work? | 15:18 |
| user01 | santor, im on a client | 15:18 |
| santor | user01: i'm a bit confused can you take it from the top and tell me what exactly is going on | 15:19 |
| alonea | DRebellion: but compiling the kernel from source is so much fun! ^_^ (no way do I want to do that now) | 15:19 |
| user01 | santor, ok my company has a citrix server, and i am trying to log into it on my laptop, and they cant help me because the only support windows | 15:19 |
| DRebellion | alonea, well, technically you wouldn't have to recompile the kernel to add a driver, just compile the driver. ;) | 15:19 |
| bahadunn | no one else sees constant disk activity during idle? | 15:19 |
| nbeebo | hi when i have xcompmgr loaded and im watching vlc in fullscreen the place where my dock is is transparent.. fixable? | 15:20 |
| bahadunn | hard drive light on solid? | 15:20 |
| DRebellion | bahadunn, is this 24/7 ? Ubuntu tends to schedule indexing tasks when you're not using the computer. | 15:20 |
| user01 | user01, so i found the ubuntu documentation for installing citrix client app | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | santor: glad yuo got it woking dude | 15:20 |
| alonea | DRebellion: hmm...that would be a bit painful if things go wrong, but I don't know enough about whats going on | 15:20 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: no its when I get up and leave the computer for 10 minutes or so and the monitor is powered off by the computer | 15:20 |
| lucax | ActionParsnip, in ifconfig i dont see wlan | 15:20 |
| santor | ActionParsnip: thanks for your help, wifi-radar seems quite sweet | 15:20 |
| user01 | santor, and i have it installed, configured it fot the https site | 15:20 |
| SOURdiesel | is there an app to check hard drive health? i think my external HD is screwy. | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | lucax: what does lspci say you have/ | 15:21 |
| wers | how do you call the google widgets? | 15:21 |
| DRebellion | bahadunn, there you go. | 15:21 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: then the disk light activity comes on constant until I move the mouse or do some activity on the computer | 15:21 |
| user01 | santor, but i get the certification error | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | santor: yep, i think its better than the default thing | 15:21 |
| santor | user01: i'm not familiar with the software, it sounds like a server issue | 15:21 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: I want it to stop | 15:21 |
| DRebellion | bahadunn, right. So, it doesn't stop after a few minutes? | 15:21 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: my drive will not last long with that crap going on | 15:21 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: no | 15:21 |
| user01 | santor, they have juniper too | 15:21 |
| lucax | ActionParsnip, 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) | 15:21 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: just stays on for hours and hours until I do some activity on the system like move the mouse or something | 15:21 |
| user01 | santor, i tried the java applet but it failed | 15:22 |
| DRebellion | bahadunn, well, obviously you need to find out which process is causing the activity. You could probably ssh into the system without causing it to stop and check with `top'. | 15:22 |
| bahadunn | DRebellion: yes okay I will try it | 15:22 |
| user01 | santor, let me get the error | 15:22 |
| goodmami | Can anyone tell me why some applications have installed that I didn't install? I don't share this computer | 15:22 |
| santor | user01: do you have a windows computer you can try to connect from, if that doesn't work then its probably a server issue, and then you can call the software manufacturer and they can support it | 15:23 |
| DRebellion | goodmami, Ubuntu comes with a great many applications already installed. Is this what you mean? | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | lucax: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964521 | 15:23 |
| slayton | goodmami, b/c other applications depend on them | 15:23 |
| user01 | santor, the IT guy asked if i can import SSL from the control panel like in windows | 15:23 |
| goodmami | slayton, is there a command I can run to see what depends on some package? | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | goodmami: example, firefox needs xul-runner to work so will install it | 15:23 |
| santor | user01: are you running the client in wine? | 15:23 |
| user01 | santor, nope, but i could install it | 15:24 |
| DRebellion | goodmami, you can use `aptitude' | 15:24 |
| raj | help is there anyone here who can help me? | 15:24 |
| goodmami | and DRebellion, no this is after I installed ubuntu... | 15:24 |
| DRebellion | goodmami, check the manpage for exact syntax | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | raj | 15:24 |
| ubottu | raj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:24 |
| santor | user01: so there is a linux version they jsut dont' support it | 15:24 |
| jtisme | anyone have experience using the linksys pcm200 cardbus ethernet card | 15:24 |
| DRebellion | goodmami, right. These are gui apps? Or console packages? As slayton said, many apps depend on other packages. | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jtisme: what does lsusb say it is? | 15:24 |
| user01 | santor, yes . . . well my company doesnt support linux . . . maybe citrix does | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jtisme: te print in the case means less than nothing | 15:24 |
| goodmami | DRebellion, they are gui apps, which is what worries me. I can understand some library being a dependency | 15:24 |
| appye | I would like to know how ubuntu sets the gnome system tools menu to go under system>administration instead of applications>system ... I can do it manually using alacarte or something, but how do I change the default location of new items that would normally go into applications>system? | 15:24 |
| raj | help why is my resolution messed up? i cannot expand the panels for the whole screen. | 15:25 |
| sudobash | citrix supports linux i believe | 15:25 |
| sudobash | for thin clients | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | user01: theres acitrix client for linux | 15:25 |
| jrib | goodmami: apt-cache rdepends PACKAGE | 15:25 |
| goodmami | thank you jrib | 15:25 |
| DRebellion | goodmami, hmm. I've never heard of that happening before... | 15:25 |
| MrEgg964 | Hi all :) Ever since I upgraded to Intrepid on my wifi laptop, my nfs and cifs mount points in /etc/fstab don't get mounted at boot - I have to mount them manually using 'sudo mount -at cifs' or 'sudo mount -at nfs'. Has anybody any idea on how to take care of this? | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: have you install video drivers? | 15:25 |
| santor | user01: see if you can't get ahold of citrix to support there linux client, i don't know anything about hte client | 15:25 |
| jtisme | ActionParsnip, actually i dont have one was looking to see if anyone has had problems with it in ubuntu | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: and configured resolutions? | 15:25 |
| raj | no my video drivers are working | 15:25 |
| user01 | ActionParsnip, i am using the citrix package from their site | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | jtisme: yeah its apparently a bit weird in 8.10 | 15:26 |
| raj | its a laptop and i am using an external monitor | 15:26 |
| sudobash | user01: maybe you could use VM | 15:26 |
| raj | i can use the whole screen but cannot expand the panels | 15:26 |
| santor | user01: is there a citrix package in the repository | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: then you will need to configure the display it kicks out | 15:26 |
| jtisme | ActionParsnip, thanks | 15:26 |
| stefano | ciao | 15:26 |
| goodmami | it seems that it was added when I added language support | 15:26 |
| user01 | santor, i dont think so i downloaded the source and installed | 15:26 |
| santor | sudobash: thats kind of ridiculous ot run a whole virtual machine for a program that is supposed to run natively | 15:26 |
| goodmami | eg, I added support for inputting chinese in scim, and now I have stardict and a bbs client. is that normal? | 15:27 |
| santor | user01: did you check the repositories? | 15:27 |
| user01 | santor, yes | 15:27 |
| raj | resolution is 1440x900 but i disables the mirror tick | 15:27 |
| sidewalk | how do i configure gnome-terminal to use the fone called fixed (the one that is default in xterm) ? | 15:27 |
| goodmami | I don't recall this happening in hardy | 15:27 |
| sudobash | oh i thought he was running a windows app | 15:27 |
| santor | sudobash: no, i asked him if he was running a windows app in wine but he is running a linux app | 15:28 |
| user01 | i followed these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo | 15:28 |
| raj | how do i configure the display? | 15:28 |
| jrib | goodmami: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Recommended%20packages%20installed%20by%20default maybe | 15:28 |
| goodmami | jrib, thanks for the link. that looks like what happened | 15:29 |
| rrittenhouse | How hard would it be to make an ubuntu box that I can put in line with a switch+dsl modem to see what traffic is being sent through it. I'm trying to track a computer sending spam on a network. | 15:29 |
| goodmami | jrib, this may be coincidental, but when I added the language support, the icon on the user switch applet changed to a status indicator (from power button thing) | 15:30 |
| goodmami | jrib, I also ran an update today. do you think this is from the update? | 15:30 |
| sudobash | rittenhouse use OpenBSD PacketFilter logging and tcpdump with a switch... | 15:30 |
| jrib | goodmami: no idea, possibly | 15:30 |
| sudobash | have two ethernets 1 external 1 internal and log with pf | 15:30 |
| goodmami | hmm... ok, well I got half of my worries resolved | 15:31 |
| raj | how do i configure my monitor? i am using an external monitor on a laptop and i cannot expand the panel | 15:31 |
| D-- | I must be partially dyslexic. sudobash's handle keeps looking like my name. | 15:31 |
| appye | I would like to know how ubuntu sets the gnome system tools menu to go under system>administration instead of applications>system ... I can do it manually using alacarte or something, but how do I change the default location of new items that would normally go into applications>system? | 15:31 |
| goodmami | DRebellion, slayton, jrib: thanks for the help | 15:31 |
| apeiron | raj, alt-f1 should open the menu. | 15:32 |
| sudobash | rrittenhouse that is assuming you are admin and can do what ever you want on the network | 15:32 |
| cens0red | hi. I seem to have made a mess of fstab somehow. Do I need a mount point on fstab for swap? | 15:32 |
| rrittenhouse | sudobash, Haha I didn't think about it like that. Yes I am the admin | 15:32 |
| raj | i know i opened the menu .. but i need to configure my display. | 15:32 |
| user01 | can i import security certificates? | 15:32 |
| sudobash | i only thought about cause that is what i am doing | 15:32 |
| sudobash | OpenBSD 4.4 is out now i think | 15:33 |
| rrittenhouse | sudobash, I just wasn't sure what it would take to have the traffic forward from one interface to another so I could capture it. Maybe theres a livecd to do this? | 15:33 |
| sudobash | i am still on 4.3 | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | cens0red: no; just use "none" as mount point | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | !ot | sudobash | 15:33 |
| ubottu | sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 15:33 |
| user01 | sudobash, im still on 4.0 i think | 15:33 |
| cens0red | erta. | 15:33 |
| cens0red | How do I re mount my partition table without rebooting? | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | cens0red: i case of swap is "sudo swapon -a" | 15:34 |
| apeiron | raj, Use the arrow keys to select the items in the menus you need. Start with Screen Resolution perhaps? | 15:34 |
| sudobash | its not that hard and kinda fun cause you have to learn about the filesystem and how much to allocate to each part | 15:34 |
| Na-Fiann | How do I change the workgroup for my windows share? | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | cens0red: for the rest ·sudo mount -o remount -a" | 15:34 |
| sudobash | and then PacketFilter is fun | 15:34 |
| raj | I need to configure the monitor not resolution as i cannot expand the panels to the whole width . | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | sudobash: user01 move openbsd chatter to offtopic or an openbsd chat room; please | 15:35 |
| sudobash | sorry | 15:35 |
| cens0red | erUSUL thanks. Didn't seem to re mount everything as written in fstab though. | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | cens0red: any error msg? | 15:36 |
| user01 | erUSUL, my question is about SSL certificates in ubuntu | 15:36 |
| cens0red | erUSUL I think I know what's going on. I accidentally made a second mount point in fstab for my primary partition. Now I can't unmount it, because mount says device is busy. duh | 15:36 |
| user01 | erUSUL, how do i download them? | 15:37 |
| apeiron | raj, I'm not sure which menu option that is; point is you can get to any option with the keyboard. Unlike certain operating systems (/me glares at OSX) | 15:37 |
| cens0red | brb | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | user01: dunno sorry | 15:38 |
| rrittenhouse | I want to use Ubuntu to make an inline packet "filter" so I can see what machine might be sending spam on my network. Any ideas? Can you at least point me in the right direction? | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | rrittenhouse: maybe a machine with ntop installed and configured | 15:39 |
| onats | !menu.lst | 15:39 |

| Vi5in | has anyone tried to mount their T-mobile G1 on ubuntu? | 16:12 |
| Vi5in | it shows up as an sdb, but has no partition info | 16:13 |
| Vi5in | I have a ricoh card-reader (on a dell xps 1530). If you insert the sd card, it shows up as a block device without any partition info.... BUT you can still mount it. running parted to create a partition and filesystem has no effect. df -h still shows no partition. | 16:14 |
| kion | hi, why there is not the file /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf in intrepid ibex? Thanks | 16:14 |
| hololight | Vi5in: have you tried other cards? | 16:14 |
| sb118 | has anyone been able to set up a bellsouth email in evolution? | 16:15 |
| Vi5in | hololight: actually, I haven't. But apparently this is an issue with the cards that come with the G1 | 16:15 |
| Vi5in | the weird thing is that parted shows a primary partition | 16:15 |
| Vi5in | but df -h only shows the block device (/dev/mmcblk0) without a partition (I would expected /dev/mmcblk0p1) or something | 16:16 |
| hololight | Vi5in: I would say try another card first | 16:16 |
| Vi5in | and hooking up the g1 directly gives me a /dev/sdb, but once again, no partition. and ubuntu can't mount it | 16:16 |
| hololight | Vi5in: any data on the card you would miss? | 16:16 |
| Vi5in | hololight: I'll try that - but I was just wondering what would cause the card to behave like that, especially if it does have a partition and a fs on it | 16:16 |
| shirow | hello, is it possible to install ubuntu on a flash drive and have the ability to install applications etc on it? basically function like a regular install? | 16:17 |
| Vi5in | hololight: nope. I backed up the data, and wiped it clean | 16:17 |
| shirow | I installed it using liveusb but theres no application persistence | 16:17 |
| Vi5in | and it still behaves this way | 16:17 |
| hololight | Vi5in: I am wondering if the partition table is messed up somehow. try to repartition and format it. | 16:17 |
| Vi5in | i ran parted, mklabel, created a primary partition and created a filesystem of it after that | 16:17 |
| hololight | Vi5in: also try another card | 16:17 |
| Vi5in | hololight: yeah, I did that. apparently the cards have a messed up partition table. tried to fix it, but no dice :( i will try another card - I'll see if i can get one | 16:18 |

| shirow | reboot | 16:22 |
| shirow | and still have jedit installed | 16:22 |
| shirow | that doesn't seem to happen automatically | 16:22 |
| hololight | shirow: it should... unless you followed directions for a RO os, such as a live-cd type system | 16:22 |
| shirow | hmm | 16:24 |
| shirow | well, what I did was boot off an ubuntu install CD (8.10) | 16:24 |
| shirow | boot into the live-cd environment | 16:24 |
| shirow | downloaded liveusb and ran it | 16:24 |
| LjL | shirow, you can install to a USB drive like any other drive, but if you just dump the *live CD* to a USB drive, then you'll get nothing but a live CD on USB. you can, for sure, enable persistence, but couldn't you just do a proper install to begin with? | 16:24 |

| Barnicle | We've been having connectivity issues with one of our servers. We've replaced the network card, but with a NIC that was not identical to the first card. | 16:56 |
| Barnicle | If I want to uninstall the old drivers, and install the new one, how can I do this? Also, if I don't have the driver is there a way to get it to auto detect? It's a fairly old NIC card that we had laying around. | 16:56 |
| raj | bob_dylan its an ATI, and it worked with other distributions with no pronblem | 16:56 |
| ikonia | sb118: from what I'm reading you can only use bellsouths network mail servers IF your on their network, which you are not, use your shcools | 16:56 |
| ikonia | schools | 16:56 |

| ikonia | Barnicle what is the card ? | 17:01 |
| endo602 | hi | 17:02 |
| Barnicle | It's an old card. One sec let me take a look. | 17:02 |

| ikonia | Barnicle what model | 17:02 |
| Barnicle | LANKom 9752 | 17:03 |
| ikonia | Shubbar 1.) are you using sudo 2.) what is the exact command your using | 17:03 |
| ikonia | Barnicle: I've never even heard of that, are they supported at all ? | 17:03 |
| Barnicle | well, it says it's from 1996. it's fairly old. | 17:03 |
| Barnicle | intel bought them out | 17:03 |
| ikonia | Barnicle doesn't mean it's supported | 17:03 |
| Shubbar | ikonia, specific: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-177 | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Shubbar and what is the exact error you get | 17:04 |
| SliMM | i just can't belive it | 17:04 |
| Barnicle | ok, so if it was supported and i swapped the cards, would that mean the nic should just work or do i have to installed supporting drivers | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Barnicle: depends if and how it's supportd | 17:04 |
| jrpetro | PLEASE HELP WITH MY NVIDIA PROBLEM | 17:05 |
| ikonia | jrpetro: using caps won't get you anywhere | 17:05 |
| SliMM | is there any reason for my nvidia driver to be disabled? (without the practical possibility of enabling it) | 17:05 |
| Barnicle | Ok. Where can I find a support list | 17:05 |
| ikonia | Barnicle: google, or the kernel notes, there is also an out of date list ont he ubuntu website | 17:05 |

| emorris | hi, a lot of my programs are really laggy. it was fine before i tried to enable the accelerated driver. I've disabled that, and tired reconfiguring xserver-xorg, deleting xorg.conf, and letting it create a new one, etc, etc. But it's still really laggy. Anything else I could try? (Also some of my keys work wrong, like the arrow keys don't work, quite possibly related.) | 17:06 |

| nite_johnboy | IdleOne: On the 1st one you just posted - that would be ok if all was needed was P/Word input. | 17:36 |

| manlymat_83 | Rooster: perhaps its just me, but the fonts in 8.10 are horrible. They are fuzzy, etc. I'm sure there's ways to change them, but the fonts in 7.10 looked amazing | 17:44 |
| GhosT_KiLleR | sorry | 17:44 |
| manlymat_83 | and, 8.10 seems quite slower. | 17:44 |
| IdleOne | manlymat_83, then use 8.04 | 17:44 |
| manlymat_83 | though, the only thing I worry about is if I go back to 7.10, it may be EOL before the next release comes out | 17:44 |
| vahnx | Most Ubuntu distros require at least 512 to function at a tolerable pace | 17:44 |

| skeeel | hello | 17:45 |
| IdleOne | hi skeeel | 17:45 |
| vahnx | You can try changing from Gnome to XFCE, it's like gnome only much faster | 17:45 |
| powertool08 | eix: I have /boot | 17:45 |
| manlymat_83 | vahnx: xubuntu? | 17:45 |
| vahnx | Or fluxbox, but not as useful | 17:45 |
| vahnx | No, you can just install XFCE in Ubuntu | 17:45 |
| eix | powertool08: this is not a real Ubuntu system..I am installing Ubuntu with the MinimalD | 17:45 |
| skeeel | i have a dual screen , all is ok but i want to know if there a possiblity to add a edge resistance (so the mouse don't go from screen to screen easily ? | 17:45 |
| eix | *C | 17:45 |
| vahnx | You dont need to install xubuntu | 17:46 |
| manlymat_83 | Is there a difference between installing xfce in ubuntu and running xubuntu>? | 17:46 |
| RoosterJuice | manlymat_83, that fuzziness you are speaking of is antialiasing... how the human eye is supposed to view text. You either have a horrible resolution monitor, or you have an lcd hooked up with a VGA cable and your vphasing is off | 17:46 |
| vahnx | Xubuntu comes with probably different software bundled | 17:46 |
| powertool08 | eix: I install using the minimal cd's as well | 17:46 |
| vahnx | like instead of gedit theres mousepad | 17:46 |
| skeeel | manlymat_83, i will say no , but no 100% sure | 17:46 |

| manlymat_83 | yeah | 17:47 |
| powertool08 | eix: I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but on my system I made a small 100 mb or so partition for boot kernels and mounted it at /boot | 17:48 |

| doctorow_ | How do I map shift-quotedbl onto 0x30? | 17:48 |
| vahnx | alphabetically | 17:48 |
| RoosterJuice | the antialiasing methods used you can either choose between cleartype (like windows), mac or no anti aliasing | 17:48 |
| RoosterJuice | you dont have to downgrade to get the fonts to look how they did in the old one | 17:48 |
| eix | powertool08: my problem is that the partition wizard did not recognize my partitions, so I went directly to the next step (install base system) by creating /target and mounting the root partition there | 17:49 |

| eix | powertool08: ok, thanks anyway | 17:50 |

| RoosterJuice | cwillu, watch your facts | 17:50 |
| cwillu | and it's called subpixel, calling it cleartype just causes confusion, as neither the config dialog nor the config files use that word | 17:50 |
| cwillu | as long as we're watching facts | 17:50 |
| RoosterJuice | its called antialiasing if oyu want to be specific | 17:51 |
| cwillu | antialiasing is seperate from subpixel | 17:51 |
| cwillu | you don't need an lcd for antialiasing | 17:51 |
| RoosterJuice | you dont need an lcd for either | 17:51 |

| GeorgeA | IdleOne, will try that one. | 18:35 |
| GeorgeA | LjL, I tried that one, i guess I just didn't know how to use it correctly. | 18:35 |
| LjL | jrpetro_: which drivers do you have installed? | 18:36 |
| |TheBarold| | GeorgeA: i believe Thunar has a bulk rename packaged with it | 18:36 |
| LjL | GeorgeA: you just want to turn FileName into Filename? | 18:36 |
| deadman66 | I had 8.04 and had customized GRUB to load my WinXP partition 1st. After upgrading to 8.10, I lost my Win partition in menu.lst. Ideas on how to get it back? | 18:36 |

| sgraham | why the hell are there no tabs in nautilas? | 18:36 |

| arktvrvs | bootscreen black, did you give it time to load up or just give up? | 18:37 |
| GeorgeA | LjL, awesome, thanks | 18:38 |
| nbeebo | bootscreen got black when i tried using the "repair x server" option in rescue mode | 18:38 |
| nbeebo | oh | 18:38 |
| arktvrvs | i didnt say repiar x server | 18:38 |
| arktvrvs | i said Xorg -configure | 18:38 |
| mikebeecham | |TheBarold|: nope... | 18:38 |

| calwig | could anyone give me some advice on how to install an ati driver? | 18:39 |
| |TheBarold| | how do you mount a drive that is not listed, in computer only listed as "ATA Drive"? did "ls" on /dev and has , hda, hda1(main hdd), hda2, hda5, hdb, none of those will mount | 18:40 |
| syslq | Do you bother setting color depth to 32 bit? | 18:40 |
| calwig | I have Hardy and have installed the linux-restricted-modules-server.... however i do not understand as to why it has to install a server to enable a restricted driver for ATI | 18:40 |
| recon | hi guys, what's your favorite way of getting podcasts under linux? | 18:40 |
| LjL | jrpetro_: sorry, i can't find any reason why the effects wouldn't work on your card... | 18:40 |
| deadman66 | javarunner, ty I'll try. my only concern is id'ing my drive correctly. I THINK it's a sd1 (SATA). how do I figure the drive entry? | 18:40 |
| fde | syslq: 32bit on Windows = 24bit with 8 bits of noise... default depth for Xorg is this | 18:40 |

| fosco__ | mikebeecham, killall -9 application | 18:41 |
| AJC_Z0 | Sound was working but now isn't. Running 8.10 with gnome and (default) pulseaudio for playback. No audio tool including paplay will make a sound come out of speakers or headphones. alsamixer shows pulseaudio bar up to max. Hints on how to debug would be most welcome | 18:41 |
| fde | mikebeecham: you can do 'xkill' and select the window to kill... or pkill <app> | 18:41 |
| jrpetro_ | thank you LjL for trying | 18:42 |
| jrpetro_ | anyone else going threw a nvidia problem | 18:42 |
| * fde will never understand why people prefer killall to pkill ... less typing is better | 18:42 | |

| rabe | could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver? | 18:42 |

| arktvrvs | is that so? | 18:43 |

| rp_ | TheBarold: I always use fdisk to find out the device mapping | 18:46 |
| mker | I think there's something wrong with my second harddrive. I'm not completely sure but it looks like whenever I start Vuze which is seeding several torrents from that harddrive everything eventually crashes and I have to reboot the computer by pressing the button. How can I find out if it's the hard drive? | 18:46 |

| hozano | Hi people. I have a problem to add a network bridge on ubuntu. When rebooting, the eth0 and br0 ifaces receive the same IP. I need to restart the network service to these interfaces works fine. I have installed bridge-utils package and my /etc/network/interfaces is in http://pastebin.com/m497138b6. Can someone help me ? | 18:48 |
| Guest77159 | so what shall i do? | 18:48 |

| arktvrvs | nbeebo: if /root/ is where it placed it ok, but on my system its just in / .. and it needs to be moved to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:49 |

| andycaz | how to see bash history? | 18:50 |
| nbeebo | it was in root and i did write what u told me to | 18:50 |
| fosco__ | |TheBarold|, sudo fdisk -l should list all detected drives | 18:50 |
| arktvrvs | andycaz: type history | 18:50 |
| rp_ | hi. I have an old S3 Trio card that ran fine with 1600x1200 under XFree86 but X.org runs it with the VESA server and it refuses to go higher than 800x600 (says the other modes go out of memory) | 18:50 |
| nbeebo | akrtvrvs: i fixed it before but i cannot remember exactly | 18:50 |
| fde | andycaz: cat ~/.bash_history | 18:50 |
| arktvrvs | nbeebo: if you typed it exactly as i said and its made no difference then sorry, thats the only way i know of | 18:51 |
| fde | or history, yes | 18:51 |
| erk1 | !fsck | mker | 18:51 |
| rp_ | does x.org use that much more memory? and if I put in modelines manually will they still be used? (they don't appear to be) | 18:51 |
| ubottu | mker: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:51 |

| arktvrvs | when I do xorg -configure I puts it into //xorg.conf.new (i think, maybe its .eg) | 18:51 |
| nbeebo | ok thanks, anyone know how to fix the black bootscreen problem? | 18:51 |
| miik | if I run 64-bit Linux, is there anyway, I can run a 32-bit binary? | 18:51 |
| arktvrvs | so i mv /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:51 |
| apeiron | miik, just do it. | 18:51 |
| fde | miik: sure... need the 32bit libs though | 18:51 |
| xc1024 | hi everyone | 18:51 |
| rp_ | xorg -configure?? | 18:51 |
| nbeebo | i did Xorg -configure and it told me /root | 18:52 |
| genii | miik: I think package ia32-libs might be needed | 18:52 |
| miik | fedito, how? | 18:52 |
| ikonia | miik: what do you want to run ? | 18:52 |
| nbeebo | when u go rescue mode and cd u start in /root so i guess thats why | 18:52 |
| arktvrvs | ok then, if you moved it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , it should have made the changes | 18:52 |
| arktvrvs | theres no reason to cd really | 18:52 |
| arktvrvs | but oh well | 18:52 |
| jared | hi | 18:52 |

| miik | ikonia, a game only available as 32-bit | 18:53 |
| ikonia | miik: what game | 18:53 |
| miik | ikonia, closed-source commercial game | 18:53 |
| cyball | hi ... is there a possibilit to tell the apt-get install command not to install depencies ? | 18:53 |
| miik | ikonia, Tibia | 18:53 |
| jared | i need an easy to use program for ubuntu that you can create bootable CD's with, that will boot into a DOS environment. | 18:53 |
| fde | miik: look at 'apt-cache search ia32' for a start | 18:53 |
| nbeebo | is it possible to use bash in irssi? | 18:53 |
| arktvrvs | nbeebo: on a default install i only get 800x600 max, after doing that it goes somewhere around 1900 or more.. | 18:53 |
| ikonia | nbeebo is a shell, irssi is an irc client - what do you mena | 18:53 |
| === yann_ is now known as yann_p | ||
| nbeebo | hmmm ok... ikonia: i mean if its part of irssi, to be possible to use bash in it.. kinda i suck at explaining | 18:54 |
| arktvrvs | or was that on my old box.. anyway, it does make a difference. | 18:54 |
| arktvrvs | nbeebo: /exec | 18:54 |
| nbeebo | ok | 18:54 |
| arktvrvs | like /exec ls | 18:54 |
| cyball | nobody who can help with apt-get that does not install dependencies | 18:54 |
| ikonia | nbeebo: how do you expect to use a shell in an irc chat channel ? | 18:55 |
| === sale_ is now known as sale | ||
| ikonia | cyball: what are you trying to install | 18:55 |
| arktvrvs | using /exec -o will forward the output to the current channel | 18:55 |
| rabe | could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver? | 18:55 |
| syslq | I need something to mesure temp and voltage with? | 18:55 |
| nbeebo | ikonie: akrtvrvs told me how to, just /exec then command | 18:55 |
| fde | cyball: can you provide an example of the issue, throw it up on paste.ubuntu.com | 18:55 |
| ikonia | miik: just looked at Tibia should be possible to run it in 32bit mode, it doesnt look like it needs anything special | 18:55 |
| ikonia | rabe: guys in #winehq maybe better to help | 18:55 |
| miik | ikonia, oh, where you looked at it? | 18:55 |
| arktvrvs | doing /exec -o uname -a gives | 18:55 |

| syslq | fosco_ thanks | 18:56 |
| cyball | ikonia. i try to tell apt-get that i do not want all dependencies | 18:56 |
| arktvrvs | dependencies are there for the sole reason that they are needed | 18:56 |
| fde | rabe: try 'sudo aptitude install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search asio.h' ... anything returned? | 18:56 |
| LjL | cyball: using "sudo aptitude --without-recommends install packagename" will install only the really needed dependencies | 18:56 |

| ncash | can anyone help me get my mic working on intrepid? | 18:57 |
| nbeebo | well i cant use nano cause it juses terminal ui... whats a good simple text editor in cli? | 18:57 |
| ncash | nbeebo Vi or vim | 18:58 |
| Finiras | if i change the order of the partitions in gparted because windows vista seems to want the first partition (now its occupied by ubuntu), will ubuntu still boot? (assuming that windows didn't overwrite the bootloader yet) | 18:58 |
| LjL | nbeebo: err, uh? if you are in the CLI, then of course it will use the terminal "UI". | 18:58 |
| === sale_ is now known as sale | ||
| fde | Finiras: if you make the necessary changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst ... sure | 18:58 |
| nbeebo | ljl: i mean the terminal gui, like mc for example, buttons and stuff | 18:59 |
| ncash | mbeebo: replace gedit or nano with vi or vim | 18:59 |
| LjL | nbeebo: nano doesn't have any buttons | 18:59 |
| fde | LjL: guessing he can't figure out the ctrl+whatever functions | 19:00 |
| nbeebo | but i cant use it in irssi.. trying to fix black bootscreen problem, aptitude search works btw | 19:00 |
| LjL | nbeebo: i really don't see why you'd use *any* text editor in irssi | 19:00 |
| vassler | hello i need help! i have a logictech webcam usb, i wounder how to install it or get ubuntu to find drivers for and install, anyone have any ideas? | 19:00 |
| root__ | ls -l | 19:01 |
| root__ | root äger | 19:01 |
| root__ | woho | 19:01 |
| nbeebo | ljl: so i can look in xorg.conf without exiting irssi | 19:01 |
| ikonia | nbeebo: open anoother terminal | 19:01 |
| LjL | ... | 19:01 |
| linny | vassler: could you give us the model no pls | 19:01 |
| fde | vassler: they should be included already... have you tried plugging it in and using for example ekiga to test? | 19:01 |
| ikonia | nbeebo: thats what xwindows is for, or tty's | 19:01 |
| fde | !xwindows | 19:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xwindows | 19:01 |
| * fde hates that term >:| | 19:02 | |
| nbeebo | ikonia: i know but then i need to copy paste everything.. anyway back to fixing | 19:02 |
| LjL | nbeebo: if you can't open another terminal, you can just hit Ctrl+Z to temporarily stop irssi, then do "bg 1" to let irssi keep running, then edit your files. | 19:02 |

| fde | nbeebo: use screen to copy/paste | 19:02 |

| LjL | nbeebo: then "fg" will get you back to irssi. | 19:02 |

| LjL | nbeebo: you're asking the wrong questions, seriously | 19:03 |

| fde | scientes_: but just running 'pulseaudio --stop && pulseaudio --start' should free it - ignore the errors | 19:19 |

| nbeebo | cwillu: no im on 8.04, ive had max res before, but after kernel updates it gets back to 1600x1200 | 19:22 |

| noglorp | and I'm off to #xorg | 19:22 |
| cwillu | nbeebo, does it work properly if you just get rid of the xorg.conf file? | 19:22 |
| nbeebo | cwillu: then reboot? | 19:23 |
| fde | cwillu: it is likely ignoring it now anyways due to BulletProofX, so no biggy | 19:23 |
| scientes_ | there need to be an easier way to reset sound | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | mker: sudo touch /forcefsck | 19:23 |
| scientes_ | /etc/init.d/alsa reset and reload di not work, i had to force quit everything attached to snd and remove and reload the module | 19:23 |
| cwillu | nbeebo, reboot or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 19:23 |
| Anil_1 | hi | 19:23 |
| fde | scientes_: easier than pulseaudio --restart ? | 19:23 |
| Anil_1 | i tried to uninstalled ultamatix, but its still giving me the same problem | 19:23 |
| cwillu | fde, well, 'ignoring' would mean 'using bullet-proof because of xorg.conf issues' in this case :p | 19:24 |
| bbeattie | Is there any way to get parted to write filesystem changes and write a filesystem without a reboot, just as fdisk does? | 19:24 |
| scientes_ | ~$ pulseaudio --restart | 19:24 |
| scientes_ | pulseaudio: unrecognized option '--restart' | 19:24 |
| scientes_ | E: main.c: Failed to parse command line. | 19:24 |
| LjL | Anil_1, reinstall a genuine Ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com from scratch. what you have now is not a supported system. | 19:24 |
| fde | cwillu: well no, BulletProofX ignored it no matter what... its a feature :/ | 19:24 |
| cwillu | Anil_1, you're kinda in 'reinstall ubuntu' mode unfortunately. It would be possible to clean things up, but it's not easy | 19:24 |
| gigel2006 | How can I check my wireless cards taht are available? like in windows in device manager and disable/enable them ? | 19:24 |
| fde | cwillu: ignores* | 19:25 |
| cwillu | fde, bulletproofx only kicks in if the main xorg fails for some reason. Are you confusing the autoconfiguration with bulletproof, perhaps? | 19:25 |
| cwillu | fde, if you have an xorg.conf file, that'll override the autodetection | 19:25 |

| lenswipe | nvm | 19:27 |
| gigel2006 | erUSUL: I already have a wireless card, might it be conflicting ? | 19:27 |
| theclaw | fde: thanks | 19:27 |
| LjL | anil_1: then you still have the same distribution that you had when you asked 5 minutes ago, and that IS NOT a supported distribution, because you have a ton of completely unsupported repositories enabled. reinstall from scratch. | 19:27 |
| fde | cwillu: the monitor is crap, but the Screen Resolution tool allows the resolution I want.... | 19:27 |
| fde | cwillu: If I turn off BulletProofX, it works system wide too | 19:27 |
| erUSUL | gigel2006: there is o reason for that. you may have as many wlan* interfaces as cards are in the system and even more | 19:27 |

| erUSUL | gigel2006: power requirements i guess. there is a limit on the omunt of power a single usb port provides | 19:31 |
| amikrop | I am trying to create an Ubuntu installation USB from Debian, using UNetbootin. But the contents of the .iso file are not extracted in the USB, after the process ends. Any help, please? | 19:31 |
| cwillu | fde, if he had driver "vesa", he's probably not using the right driver, xorg autodetection won't override that | 19:32 |
| fde | cwillu: I am telling you turning off bulletproofx fixes the resolution issues here... you're apparently telling me this is not valid? | 19:32 |

| joedude | I am a newbie with a couple of related questions | 19:40 |
| histo | laku, you need to either use envyng or install the drivers from nvidia. | 19:40 |
| unimatrix9 | i have run unreal on teh ati radeon 9200 , but get very poor performance | 19:40 |
| Hikefu | !ask | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:40 |

| histo | laku, let me doulbe check that though | 19:41 |
| unimatrix9 | any tips are welcome | 19:41 |
| laku | histo: oh, ok, so I'll have to remove the drivers and then reinstall them once I've changed the card? | 19:41 |

| Spirits-Sight | How can I disable iptables firewall | 19:43 |
| joedude | I have a brand new 64 bit machine and when I start the live cd all I get is a root prompt. it is Nvidia FX 1700. Is this because that video card is not yet supported? | 19:43 |
| gigel2006 | help, I have the alfa 500mw and I'm running airodump in ubuntu and I have no PWR, I know it has something to do with mac80211, what can I do ? | 19:43 |
| xorand | gigel2006, google it? | 19:43 |
| histo | laku, it would work if you just put the card in and booted; however, you should install the newer driver from nvidia.com either from their site or with envyng | 19:44 |
| gigel2006 | xorand: tried | 19:44 |
| histo | !envyng | laku | 19:44 |
| ubottu | laku: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 19:44 |
| gigel2006 | histo: I probably need the right keywords | 19:44 |
| Slayer | Hello | 19:44 |
| Slayer | I have an odd prolem | 19:44 |
| histo | laku, There are some performance issues with the nvidia-glx-new package and your card in hardy. Because its newer hardware they added more support in newer drivers that are on nvidia's site and in the intrepid repos. | 19:45 |

| histo | Slayer, Yeah run lspci see if it gives you a chipset. You are probably going to need the firmware. I believe thats a broadcomm card and that would explain your problem. | 19:49 |

| _ViTiNhOw_ | HaxorPrime i want to conect (internet) by usb | 19:55 |

| doofy` | doug__, yea I know, but I'm trying to set up public key authentication for the machine, I figured the config files would be more general than to be in the home dir | 19:55 |
| histo | laku, they both accomplish the same thing. | 19:55 |
| nbeebo | hmm too a billion years but, i removed xorg conf, black screen when reboot, did Xorg -configure, moved it to xorg.conf and changed to vesam and im sure i still got 800x600 | 19:55 |

| Slayer | I have: | 19:56 |

| erk1 | MindVirus: Then it's fishy. You could try sliding the slider up to something other than 0.0 | 20:08 |
| danbhfive | Slayer: does the card show up when you run lspcmcia? | 20:08 |
| histo | Slayer, You have to be more specific. Inspiron ???? What there is usually a number after that. | 20:09 |
| Slayer | 1 min | 20:09 |
| MindVirus | erk1, slider's not at 0.0. | 20:09 |
| MindVirus | It's at 1.5. | 20:09 |
| nbeebo | if i do Xorg -configure and get the file xorg.conf.new(?) is it just to move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or should i rename it too? | 20:09 |
| Slayer | let me get the pages saved and to the PC | 20:09 |
| MindVirus | But I have it set so that it doesn't crossfade between songs on the same album. | 20:09 |
| erk1 | MindVirus: Then try putting it at 0.0. Also, did you restart Rhythmbox? | 20:09 |
| MindVirus | Thought I did, but I'll do it again. | 20:09 |
| sgraham | hey in 8.04 where is the external monitor option? | 20:09 |
| craigbass1976 | jimcooncat, just read somewhere that they might be CMYK encoded, instead of rgb. FF has issues with that I guess; I have not tested on IE. I'm guessing imagemajick could switch them in one fell swoop... | 20:09 |
| histo | Slayer, also does the card have lights on it and do they light up when you insert it? | 20:09 |
| sgraham | like i want to extend my desktop onto a second monitor. | 20:10 |
| Slayer | Um.. no lights at the moment | 20:10 |
| MindVirus | erk1, nope. | 20:10 |
| MindVirus | Doesn't do the trick. | 20:10 |
| histo | Slayer, and does the computer beep at all? You can try to eject the card then type in sudo dmesg -c then insert the card and type in dmesg and see if there is any output. | 20:10 |
| Slayer | be right back | 20:10 |
| Slayer | and it's never beeped when I put in/removed the card, not even with XP | 20:11 |
| jotil | nbeebo: mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf - this will replace the file old file with the new. backup the old file incase things go wrong. | 20:11 |
| jimcooncat | craigbass1976: that's a good guess, and worth a try. good luck! | 20:11 |
| danbhfive | Slayer: also check lspcmcia | 20:11 |

| ekontsevoy | I have a crontab line that looks like "1/5 * * * * mycommand.sh" and it runs every 5 minutes just fine. However, when I suspend/resume the laptop, the task stops running which is annoying. | 20:49 |
| vassler | reenen: what does that mean? | 20:49 |
| vassler | dsmg? tail? | 20:49 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: http://pastebin.com/m608cd5e9 | 20:49 |
| elliotjhug | ratpoison: OK - I think the problems most likely to be with it not finding the definitions | 20:49 |
| umer | dmesg | 20:49 |
| lit3l | hi i'm seeking a good picture viewer, which can run gif, does anyone know ? | 20:49 |
| ravn | hi ppl. Now I'm in deep shit! I have tried to install ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04 from two different burnt cd's on my Fujitsu-Siements Lifebook E and failed twice. Further the harddrive is formated so there is nothing left of the old installation (files were backed up, n.p. there). What the ?!¤#" to do? I searched the internet, but found nothing documented about the fail. The problem is that when booting from the cd, first everything works well, up | 20:50 |
| pecko | lit3l: gwenview :P | 20:50 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: "definitions" ? | 20:50 |
| genii | lit3l: You mean which can show the animations of a gif? | 20:50 |
| umer | vassler dmesg -c | 20:50 |
| Flannel | ravn: Please watch your language. Also, you got cut off at "everything works well, up" | 20:50 |
| lit3l | genii: yes | 20:50 |
| ravn | until either (one of two things happening) 1: the formating of the ext3 partition fails, not saying why or what or 2: the installation fails when copying files, saying there is something wrong with the CD (same on 8.10 and 8.04). An integrity check on the CD | 20:50 |
| vassler | umer: what does that mean? | 20:50 |
| Alexzzz | privet | 20:50 |
| umer | vassler type whatis dmesg | 20:51 |
| ravn | Flannel: I'm sorry 'bout the language, I'm getting a bit frustrated with Ubuntu here... | 20:51 |
| vassler | ?? | 20:51 |
| === remote_ is now known as remote | ||
| umer | it's actually print the current kernel ring buffer | 20:51 |
| Reenen | vassler: what dmsg means is basically debug messages (I assume), and tail means "show me the last 10" | 20:51 |
| DJ_Mario | ravn: you tried both CDs and you get the same problem? | 20:51 |
| danub_ | ravn: that sounds vaguely familiar... does your system havea jmicron controller? | 20:51 |
| Flannel | An integrity check on the CD what? | 20:51 |
| jotil | dmsg - device messages i thought? | 20:51 |
| elliotjhug | ratpoison: "Unable to find definition" <-- that problem - does pulseaudio proceed to stay running or does it die? | 20:52 |
| Reenen | jotil: yes, I think you're right | 20:52 |
| yaser | I have a wifi card working with correct drivers and a lan Inet connection, who can help me create a Wifi hotspot please? | 20:52 |
| ravn | DJ_Mario: yes | 20:52 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: it keeps running | 20:52 |
| vassler | why doesnt ubunutu automaticaly detect a usb web cam?? | 20:52 |
| ravn | danub_: dunno, what is that? | 20:52 |
| vassler | like windows might? | 20:52 |
| Reenen | espc: so you put in your device, ask the system for the last 10 device messages, and you should be able to recognise the usb device | 20:52 |
| DJ_Mario | ravn: is it possible that either (1) your optical (CD) drive is failing or (2) both the 8.04 and the 8.10 install CDs are scratched? | 20:53 |
| danub_ | vassler diid for mine | 20:53 |
| Flannel | vassler: it depends on the webcam. Theres a good deal of support for many webcams, not not all | 20:53 |
| Guinnesss | vassler: It does mine...which on have you got? | 20:53 |
| Flannel | ravn: Did the integrity check pass or fail? | 20:53 |
| elliotjhug | ratpoison: OK - so it does in the end find something that makes it work. When its running like that can you connect to it from the manager? | 20:53 |
| ravn | Flannel: pass | 20:53 |
| danub_ | ravn: do you have a jmicron raid controller | 20:53 |
| vassler | guinnesss: not sure. | 20:53 |
| umer | no | 20:53 |
| umer | vessler : you can see the short description about command by typing whatis dmesg , whatis ls or you can even use man pages which are really helpfull man dmesg , man ls etc | 20:53 |
| sambagirl | is intreptid considered stable or unstable? | 20:53 |
| umer | vassler | 20:53 |
| umer | connect your cam | 20:53 |
| ravn | DJ_Mario: well, I don't know, maybe I should try installing from USB or something... | 20:53 |
| meoblast001 | how do i use software rendering? | 20:53 |
| umer | and type the following command dmesg -c and send us the last message of kernel buffer | 20:53 |
| Flannel | ravn: This is the Desktop CD? Have you tried the alternate CD? | 20:54 |
| ravn | danub_: I don't know, have to check... | 20:54 |
| elliotjhug | sambagirl: stable - with a 6 month support period | 20:54 |
| sambagirl | ok | 20:54 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: to describe my problem more accurately: pulseaudio seems to start properly and then for some reason it crashes, never to be restored. I can't connect even after running pulseaudio from the terminal | 20:54 |
| vassler | wierd | 20:54 |
| yaser | I have a wifi card working with correct drivers and a lan Inet connection, who can help me create a Wifi hotspot please? | 20:54 |

| Flannel | ravn: You should try the alternate CD (of course, if its a hardware issue, it wont help, but alternate has more success than desktop in general) | 20:55 |
| DJ_Mario | ravn: i would reburn the 8.10 image onto a new CD before installing it via USB. | 20:55 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: hmmmm that's a weird coincidence, updates only just showed up, and I have some concerning pulseaudio | 20:55 |
| franko | anyone know how to share an internet connection between wlan0(that goes out internet) and eth0(on which i plugged a Windows PC)? | 20:55 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: I'll check if the updates fix teh prob | 20:55 |
| elliotjhug | ratpoison: try installing those and see if it helps - otherwise I suggest you ask the guys in #pulseaudio - they know the software like the back of their hand | 20:55 |
| yaser | I have a wifi card working with correct drivers and a lan Inet connection, who can help me create a Wifi hotspot please? | 20:56 |
| ratpoison | elliotjhug: o.k. I didn't realise there was a channel for that... | 20:56 |
| umer | vessler: may i know your distro i mean are you using ubuntu 8.10 | 20:56 |
| elliotjhug | sambagirl: for when your back the intrepid ebox packages are broken - you need to get them from the PPA on launchpad - juse google for it. | 20:56 |
| mslot | Im currently installing Anjuta from source, but cant find gnome-build anywhere. Cant I locate gnome-build with Synaptic? | 20:56 |
| josmar | hola | 20:56 |
| josmar | hello | 20:56 |
| earthen | i'm getting an error "importerror: no module named feedparser" anyone know how to fix this | 20:56 |
| Flannel | mslot: whats wrong with the version in the repos? | 20:56 |
| elliotjhug | ratpoison: Well its always best to check with distro first - in case theres a bug thats already known | 20:56 |
| mslot | Flannel, hmmm I cant find it by searching "gnome-build" :) | 20:57 |
| umer | uname -v #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 why don't it's shows the kernel version like 2.6. etc | 20:57 |
| jimcooncat | mslot: you mean build-essentials? | 20:57 |
| Hikefu | earthen, i think you need python-feedparser | 20:57 |
| Flannel | mslot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/anjuta | 20:57 |
| danub_ | type ver | 20:57 |
| danub_ | i think that gives you the version | 20:57 |
| earthen | Hikefu, so just apt-get install python-feedparser | 20:58 |
| danub_ | nope | 20:58 |
| mslot | Flannel, aaah. I cant get code completion to work. I use Ubuntu 8.04. | 20:58 |
| danub_ | type in 'uname -a' | 20:58 |
| Hikefu | earthen, yes | 20:58 |
| ravn | Flannel: what's the alternate cd? | 20:58 |
| Hikefu | !alternate | 20:58 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 20:58 |

| Reenen | jotil: I am on a 3g phone, and just want to see that what I am charged as using in terms of MB is similar to what I have logged that I've used | 20:59 |
| mslot | Flannel, cant get Anjuta and code completion to work at all. | 20:59 |
| aoupi | josmar: icedtea is the best you'll get | 20:59 |
| earthen | Hikefu, thanks man that did | 20:59 |
| mslot | And I dont use intrepid | 20:59 |
| elliotjhug | franko: you may want to try googling for bridging - I think that lets you do it | 20:59 |
| earthen | it | 20:59 |
| aoupi | josmar: at least until sun releases a 64bit plugin | 20:59 |
| Hikefu | earthen, great | 20:59 |
| ratpoison | josmar: Are you referring to the mozilla java plugin? | 20:59 |
| earthen | Hikefu, I love this place LOL | 20:59 |
| jimcooncat | mslot: use the repo version unless you need something special. if you have to make it from source, use checkinstall so you can uninstall it later | 20:59 |
| yaser | franko, have read something about Firestarter? | 21:00 |
| Guinnesss | josmar: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:00 |
| franko | elliotjhug: I followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 | 21:00 |
| josmar | well, for Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 | 21:00 |
| Guinnesss | '; | 21:00 |
| ratpoison | josmar: I just install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras and that takes care of the codec / java / flash crapware out of the way with a single package | 21:00 |
| sambagirl | it seems to me that Enemy Territory should be available with the ubuntu distro and all linux distros :D | 21:00 |
| franko | yaser: yes i tryed firestarter too | 21:00 |
| jotil | Reenen: we use mrtg at work to measure in/out traffic using snmp traps. | 21:00 |
| mslot | jimcooncat, I want code completion. Cant get that from source because create_global_tags.sh fails... Dont know why. | 21:00 |
| franko | but the other PC is able to connect to my www dir but not to go on internet | 21:01 |
| josmar | i never can see little orange java animation when starts to load the website | 21:01 |
| mslot | I havent used checkinstall before. Dont know what it is :) | 21:01 |
| jimcooncat | mslot: sorry, I'm unfamiliar with your particular software | 21:01 |
| elliotjhug | franko: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31632 the iptables approach seems unnessesary | 21:01 |

| kevin1 | Guys, When I showed my hidden files in the home folder I had a map from a older version of gimp called: .gimp-2.4 can I remove the whole map when I got a map called .gimp-2.6? | 21:01 |
| ratpoison | josmar: yes, but does the applet run? | 21:01 |
| jotil | Reenen: but ithink mrtg will be a overkill for you, use vnstat | 21:01 |
| Hikefu | !checkinstall | 21:01 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 21:01 |
| franko | elliotjhug: ok i will try | 21:02 |
| josmar | not, but not correctly, not 100% works.. | 21:02 |

| DigBigBro | Great ubuntu stuff on http://www.digbigbrotherjenson.be , get involved , now ! | 21:03 |
| guedesav | kevin1: well, rename it to something else and run GIMP. If it works fine, then you can just delete it | 21:03 |
| Hikefu | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 21:03 |
| bimberi | MHz128: install kubuntu-desktop | 21:03 |
| genii | MHz128: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 21:03 |

| kevin1 | guedesav: Okey | 21:03 |
| blackpearl | Any PDFFactory Pro alike printer driver fo Ubuntu 8.10 ??? | 21:03 |
| jotil | Reenen: or run vnstat all the time and set it to measure a certain interface | 21:04 |
| Reenen | jotil: thanks, I think I get it... now I must just figure out how to use vnstat, but "man vnstat" should work fine | 21:04 |
| sambagirl | if you have a .run file on it what do you do just click on it to execute it? | 21:04 |
| windowsgavemeara | is it possible to get a cannon pixma mp240 printer to work in ubuntu? | 21:04 |
| ratpoison | josmar: since Java hasn't coded a 64bit plugin yet, the 64bit arch uses the openJDK and IcedTea plugin. These are open source alternatives to the Sun plugins, but they are not 100% compatible. Now that Sun has freed (?) Java expect to see more progress in the future | 21:04 |
| Reenen | jotil: I'd want it to run the whole time | 21:04 |
| jotil | Reenen: vnstat documentation will be able to guide you better. | 21:04 |
| josmar | when i use the original Sun plugin for 64 bits Linux ...then Firewoks blocks, hang, and close.. :-p | 21:04 |

| elliotjhug | morth: that should be 'passwd' not password | 21:05 |

| Crewsr3 | I have my home drive on its own partition and it died. I can go in a see files using testdisk and everything is still there. I have another disk installed and I want to come how copy the whole partition to another folder then formate it and move everything back. I once used a program that started with mn***** that copied everything bit by bit but I can not find it Any ideas | 21:14 |
| yaser | elliotjhug, I have followed a lot of tutorials without sucess, dont know what to check | 21:14 |
| elliotjhug | franko: ok - so I still think that bridging would be your better option - unless you explicitely need that windows box to have an IP address on the network - or for that windows box to host a website of its own | 21:14 |
| yaser | elliotjhug, I think mi wlan0 is correctly working | 21:15 |
| SASGrdBrg | Still_Wandering: No, but by using it to your likings will assure you | 21:15 |
| cwillu | nbeebo, what happens if you delete /etc/xorg.conf and reboot? | 21:15 |
| SASGrdBrg | Still_Wandering: HD's are broken and datas can be forkedIO you know | 21:15 |
| franko | elliotjhug: question: with bridging option i will give an IP address to the win machine or not? | 21:16 |
| nbeebo | cwillu: ive tried that, blank screen | 21:16 |
| SubsonicB | n | 21:16 |
| elliotjhug | yaser: its generally considered better ettiquette to ask the channel - or at least wait for the person to respond before going over the whole problem - but I'll still try help. explain what your current setup is for me and what it is exactly you want to achieve | 21:16 |
| Still_Wandering | Well I guess if it dies on me I'll know it didn't go smoothly xP | 21:16 |
| SubsonicB | i dont know how to change locale and console characters (in a console, i-e doing alt+ctrl+F1, F", etc...), if I open a terminal emulator (konsole) it does work ok since I have the KDE environment configured for the locale es_ES, but in "pure" console it does not show spanisch characters, like accents, and the ñ | 21:16 |

| brandon__ | can anyone help me with my sound? my music and videos play fine but anything in firefox doesnt play sound | 21:16 |
| nbeebo | cwillu: theres alot of different files in X11 tho, xorg.conf.1, 2, 3, backups, failsafe backup.. should i try some? | 21:16 |
| flpwch | Does anyone know about using a HueHD webcam in Ubuntu? Its not recognizing it automatically, and the Amazon.com listings say it works with linux kernel 2.6.x | 21:16 |
| cwillu | nbeebo, no, it should detect everything properly | 21:16 |

| Stormx2 | laughtear: Then once you've got ubuntu installed, install ntfs-3g and move everything in /home over to a fresh NTFS partition, and set it up in fstab. | 21:37 |
| getxsick | skeeel: rewrite your question, please | 21:37 |

| Crewsr3 | SilverBullet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/75399/ | 21:39 |
| nbeebo | userc: i would google that output.. and this is the command to run settings manager: gnome-control-center | 21:39 |

| College_trained | can someone help me out? my graphics card is on the fritz. i tried deactivating and reactivating my nvidia drivers but it won't come out of low-graphics mode. | 21:40 |

| sb118 | nbeebo: okay ill try to figure it out. thanks for the help | 21:40 |
| laughtear | ? | 21:40 |
| Stormx2 | franko: I know. | 21:40 |
| SilverBullet | Crewsr3: how are you trying to mount it | 21:40 |
| javajuice64 | hi -- is java known to work on amd64? Specifically web applets | 21:40 |
| Elmnas | getxsick I runned dpkg -s wireless-tools | 21:40 |
| Elmnas | all was ok | 21:40 |
| Shishire | where can I find a list of hal properties? | 21:40 |
| Hikefu | Elmnas, you should run synaptic with gksu synaptic, not sudo synaptic btw | 21:40 |
| e_rin | hey guys! | 21:40 |
| Crewsr3 | SilverBullet, sudo mount /dev/sda3 This is what I typed | 21:41 |
| Elmnas | why? | 21:41 |
| laughtear | if it depends on the ram, how much ram would be enough for a faster ubuntu without using swap memory? | 21:41 |
| Elmnas | gksu? what that? | 21:41 |
| e_rin | wats the communtion here... | 21:41 |
| e_rin | :) | 21:41 |
| Hikefu | !gksu | 21:41 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:41 |
| SilverBullet | Crewsr3: you need to mount it some where | 21:41 |
| Hikefu | gksu or gksudo works | 21:41 |
| javajuice64 | Hikefu: can you use gksu? I heard they were the same thing | 21:41 |
| laughtear | ?? | 21:41 |
| javajuice64 | Hikefu: I see :) | 21:42 |
| franko | Stormx2: yes, that's true... "i googled" and.... yes ntfs-3g implement file permission / ownership | 21:42 |
| SASGrdBrg | Nicke! din jäkla räka :P .. ere bra ? | 21:42 |
| laughtear | repeat; do we have to use the /swap partition in ubuntu? | 21:42 |
| laughtear | if it depends on the ram, how much ram would be enough for a faster ubuntu without using swap memory? | 21:42 |
| SilverBullet | Crewsr3: example, create a directory and name it something like /stuff and then mount /dev/sda3 /stuff | 21:43 |
| Stormx2 | franko: Sweet ^^ | 21:43 |
| meoblast001 | how do you shut off software rendering | 21:43 |
| meoblast001 | this thing is making me angry | 21:43 |
| Stormx2 | meoblast001: "software rendering"? | 21:43 |
| Mixed_--_ | whoami | 21:43 |
| laughtear | (i'm sick of the slowness of intrepid, it crawls even using firefox..=( ) | 21:43 |
| scientes_ | can i restore my ability to launch new apps in X without restarting? | 21:43 |
| jimcooncat | laughtear: swap helps, even if you have "enough" ram | 21:43 |
| meoblast001 | OpenGL is rendering the PS1 bios screen at 1 frame per second | 21:44 |
| binarymutant | laughtear, what window manager ? | 21:44 |
| SASGrdBrg | laughtear: HUH? | 21:44 |
| laughtear | binarymutant: whatever dude. | 21:44 |
| scientes_ | hibernating i guess flashed my /tmp tmpfs which flashed my X protections and access for new apps | 21:44 |
| SASGrdBrg | laughtear: Media drank too much MoccaLatte ? | 21:44 |
| Elmnas | brb | 21:44 |
| meoblast001 | i think im just gonna hit myself in the head until i get a new computer | 21:44 |
| binarymutant | laughtear, ever tried fluxbox ? and links2 for the browser? They're fast | 21:44 |
| laughtear | i upgraded my ubuntu hardy several months ago, and waiting it to be improved and doing the updates daily | 21:44 |
| sambagirl | i am looking at the systme monitor and it shows 4 cpus when i only have 2 cpus installed xeon 2.8ghz ones. why showing me 4? | 21:44 |
| laughtear | but... | 21:44 |
| Stormx2 | scientes_, I've had issues with hibernation too. Sound not working, network not working, inability to shut down. You should file a bug report. | 21:45 |
| Stormx2 | Worked fine under hardy :( | 21:45 |
| Hikefu | laughtear, you should check out crunchbang linux. it's based on ubuntu hardy. it uses openbox and comes with many great programs. | 21:45 |
| laughtear | SASGrdBrg: my english is not enough to get what you last said | 21:45 |
| sambagirl | hibernation sounds like your running windows :D | 21:45 |
| sambagirl | my macbook works great :) | 21:45 |
| sako | i goto chose an icon for my custom application launcher and i dont see anything | 21:45 |
| scientes_ | Stormx2, your problems with are unrelated, mine is solely with tmpfs filesystems, and resultant X problems | 21:45 |
| sambagirl | so does my thinkpad with ubuntu | 21:45 |
| Hikefu | laughtear, in fact, it has a better selection of ubuntu by far | 21:45 |
| franko | :-S | 21:45 |
| Crewsr3 | SilverBullet, No such luck here is what I did and happened http://paste.ubuntu.com/75407/ | 21:46 |
| Stormx2 | laughtear: Don't worry. I'm a native english speaker and I didn't understand what he said ^^ | 21:46 |
| Hikefu | better selection of preinstalled programs | 21:46 |
| javajuice64 | does java work on 64 bit ubuntu | 21:46 |
| laughtear | Hikefu: i'm tired of running here to there, something to another... need to use my pc as a home user these days buddy | 21:46 |
| laughtear | Stormx2: LOL | 21:46 |
| Stormx2 | javajuice64, yes. | 21:46 |
| Crewsr3 | SilverBullet, BTW thanks for taking time to lend a hand | 21:46 |
| sambagirl | why does system monitor show 4 cpus for me when i just have 2? and al l4 are active. | 21:46 |
| SASGrdBrg | laughtear: You could use some more learnage then i guess | 21:46 |
| Stormx2 | sambagirl, are they all giving different readings? | 21:46 |
| javajuice64 | Stormx2: could you help me troubleshoot then? I think I have the right packages and everything | 21:46 |
| brandon__ | how do i find out which version of flash i have??? | 21:47 |
| javajuice64 | Stormx2: but java web applications aren't working for me | 21:47 |
| Stormx2 | !java | javajuice64, have you read this page? | 21:47 |
| ubottu | javajuice64, have you read this page?: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 21:47 |
| vixey | hi, anyone know how to debug or fix 'Insufficient power to operate USB device.'? | 21:47 |
| laughtear | i'll remember that SASGrdBrg, but now improving to spell your nickname... i think that'd be a real study to make you enough tired.. | 21:48 |
| sambagirl | wow maybe i have 4 cpus in here? :D | 21:48 |
| sambagirl | system actually displays 4 | 21:48 |
| sambagirl | resources shows all 4 active | 21:48 |
| SilverBullet | Crewsr3: watch the syslog while running the command and see what is says... the fs may need checking ....fsck | 21:48 |
| Shishire | what happened to the hal-device-manager after gusty? | 21:48 |

| Hikefu | laughtear, did you install from cd or upgrade. intrepid was unusable for me with an upgrade, works great with fresh install | 21:50 |
| lario | i just downloaded the 64bit libflashplayer.so, but where do I put it? Do I have to remove any nspluginwrapper files?? | 21:50 |
| rdw200169 | richard_: 755 | 21:50 |
| laughtear | could the reason be upgrading from hardy? would an clean installation change things a little faster? | 21:50 |
| binarymutant | what's a command that will display new imap email in mutt? | 21:50 |
| laughtear | it's an upgrade Hikefu | 21:50 |
| SilverBullet | richard: ls -l /home | 21:50 |
| Hikefu | i'd suggest a fresh install. worked wonders for me. | 21:50 |
| richard_ | rdw200169, how can i know it? i typed some commands with 700 and 755 and now im not sure | 21:50 |
| SASGrdBrg | laughtear: i can do many things... many things :P | 21:50 |
| Stormx2 | mezquitale: Testing a bot? | 21:50 |

| yaser | hey | 21:51 |
| javajuice64 | Stormx2: I also had java 5 installed. maybe that is the problem (removing it) | 21:51 |
| rdw200169 | richard_: ls -l /home | 21:51 |
| Stormx2 | Quite possibly. | 21:51 |

| SASGrdBrg | gigel2006: "MC" (but its a pain to use on Debian and Ubuntu systems in editing mode so i had to switch to fedora) ... Now they too have evil-tized it so you could use gedit and enable line count until they realize theyre hampering development | 21:54 |
| alexmart | hello, I have ubuntu 7.10 installed. I've recently installed kubuntu 8.10 on another partition. How do I add kubuntu to /boot/grub/menu.lst ? (When I installed Kubuntu I didn't choose to rewrite the boot so there's no Kubuntu in my grub menu when I turn on the computer.) | 21:54 |
| franko | richard_: /home and subfolders | 21:54 |
| richard_ | ok, thank u guys | 21:54 |
| getxsick | folks, s2disk doesn't work. i got no such device error | 21:54 |
| richard_ | :D | 21:54 |
| franko | ;) | 21:54 |
| Stormx2 | alexmart, check /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:54 |
| SASGrdBrg | gigel2006: noone can deflect coders | 21:55 |
| Stormx2 | You'll need to edit that file. | 21:55 |
| danbhfive | alexmart: where did you have the boot loader written? | 21:55 |
| fiber | hello... quick question... i mount /var/log as a tmpfs but I always get errors that various directories don't exist (which also stops them from logging). is there a way i can make the logger i am using create the filestructure automatically? (sysklogd + klog... standard ubuntu) | 21:55 |
| Shishire | gigel2006, look at the bar on the bottom of the gedit window, it should have a display telling you what line you are currently on | 21:55 |
| gigel2006 | Shishire: right I got it, silly me for not seeing it | 21:55 |

| SilverBullet | Crewsr3: you need to fsck that drive | 21:55 |
| YazzY | after i upgraded my packages a popup window came up asking me if i want to upgrade my system to a newer verion, any idea what this application is called ? | 21:56 |
| Elmnas | how do I change to another file manager I have installed pc man file manager how do I switch to this one? | 21:56 |
| alexmart | Stormx2 , I know I have to edit that file but I don't know what lines to add for Kubuntu 8.10 , I don't know the kernel version and the rest | 21:56 |
| chazco | Hi... does anyone know how to connect to a WPA-Enterprise, PEAP, tkip, mschap-v2 network on Ubuntu 8.10? It worked on 8.04, but 8.10 wont connect :( | 21:56 |
| gigel2006 | Shishire: thanks ! | 21:56 |
| gigel2006 | SASGrdBrg: lol, ok man thanks | 21:56 |
| SilverBullet | chazco: lookk in your /var/log/daemon.log and see if it is associating but timing out on the DHCP lease | 21:57 |
| RobHu | Is there a way to make a bootable Ubuntu USB disk? Either from Mac OS X or from a machine booted in to the the Ubuntu ISO CD? | 21:57 |
| alexmart | danbhfive, it's written by the first install of ubuntu 7.10 , I'm guesing the same partition where ubuntu was installed | 21:57 |
| SASGrdBrg | Ill yell at some Debian people to have this MC stuff fixed because its beyond stupid to try to discard extreme intelligence | 21:57 |
| laughtear | pals, what if i don't use a swap disk and install ubuntu with 2gb's of ram? would it crash? | 21:57 |
| SASGrdBrg | gigel2006: np | 21:57 |
| SilverBullet | chazco: you will say something along the lines of dhcp took too long | 21:57 |
| Rdgcrs | Hi! Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a PC called "server" and made other PCs boot the same OS than the server? My idea is to share everything on the server with other PCs and to made changes that afect all PCs only one time on the server | 21:57 |
| chazco | SilverBullet - It joins, and i can use the netwok etc, but after ~15seconds it dies and refuses to reconnect, constantly prompting for username and password | 21:58 |
| Stormx2 | Elmnas: Just launch it from the applications menu? | 21:58 |
| javajuice64 | Stormx2: however, the java.com test says "Java Runtime Environment is not working on your system" what should I do? | 21:58 |
| r3z` | Anyone? I have enabled /exit | 21:59 |
| Doonz | Quick question. Say i was running software raid on my ubuntu machine and the mobo died. If i replace that mobo with a different mobo will i lose my array | 21:59 |
| laughtear | repeat; pals, what if i don't use a swap disk and install ubuntu with 2gb's of ram? would it crash? | 21:59 |
| SilverBullet | chazco: does the daemon.log show any clues? | 21:59 |
| Stormx2 | javajuice64: I'd imagine you'll need some sort of firefox plugin as well | 21:59 |
| Rdgcrs | All the PCs I want to share use the same hardware | 21:59 |
| Elmnas | y | 21:59 |
| SASGrdBrg | Sweden and the world wants mooore GNU and more Linux! | 21:59 |
| skyfury | im trying to install 8.10 server edition got a raid 10 hardware(?) controller but i fail at the hd setup - any suggestions to get ubuntu finding my hd's ? | 21:59 |
| javajuice64 | Stormx2: synaptic search? | 21:59 |
| Stormx2 | javajuice64, returns nothing useful. | 21:59 |
| danbhfive | alexmart: well, ragardless, if the kubuntu 8.10 has its own menu.lst, you can use a configfile directive: title ... \n configfile (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst where (hd0,0) should be corrected to the correct partition, rather than 0,0 | 21:59 |
| Stormx2 | javajuice64: So I guess maybe your version of java doesn't have the firefox plugin in-built :/ | 22:00 |
| franko | r3z`: your question? | 22:00 |
| SASGrdBrg | skyfury: you have provided no fact on this controller | 22:00 |
| Stormx2 | javajuice64, I'm shooting in the dark really | 22:00 |
| laughtear | ?? | 22:00 |
| SASGrdBrg | skyfury: Adaptec ? | 22:00 |
| danbhfive | alexmart: if you installed grub to the partition, you may be able to use a chainloader +1 statement, but you might as well just use the configfile statement | 22:00 |
| Stormx2 | laughtear, not unless you use 2GB of RAM | 22:00 |
| javajuice64 | Stormx2: do you know if being 64 bit means I have to use a 32 bit browser or 32 bit java or something? | 22:00 |
| skyfury | SASGrdBrg the name of my controller? | 22:00 |
| chazco | SilverBullet - Booting now, one moment | 22:01 |
| laughtear | thank you Stormx2, again and very much..=) | 22:01 |
| laughtear | good nite everyone | 22:01 |
| b33r | javajuice64, you can use iced tea java it's 64 bit | 22:01 |

| DavidCanarias | adnix: dvd player is it available for linux - where? | 22:45 |

| flashprolinux | David: VLC , XINE both are superb | 22:45 |
| arktvrvs | flashprolinux: SMP means its an SMP kernel built or installed on nov 4 i imagine | 22:45 |
| Stormx2 | flashprolinux, I'm not sure what you're asking, but use the -a flag to get kernel version, not -v | 22:46 |
| zetheroo | I need to add my printer (USB) but the adding new printer button is disabled ... | 22:46 |
| arktvrvs | SMP meaning symmetric multiprocessing | 22:46 |

| tanath | DavidCanarias, it's a directory | 23:01 |
| tanath | or should be | 23:01 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> its a mount point to mount disk-image | 23:01 |
| fractal420 | Hello I'm thinking about trying out the "Make USB startup Disk" feature in ubuntu, does it work pretty good? will it remember my settings and other things I change and files? | 23:01 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Where would I find this later then? | 23:01 |
| no_one | ah, perfect. Those man pages are wonderful things arent they | 23:01 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: sorry i can't check against my server cus it's down atm. | 23:01 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, maybe.. i don't understand where is the problem... in the dir Public or in /var/www | 23:01 |
| no_one | :D | 23:01 |
| Supari | Anyone have a clue as to why my Laptop goes into Standby Correctly... but does not want to wake up after ? | 23:02 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: you'll have to check the errorlog | 23:02 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> its a file, so you would find it in the current directory once we unmount it | 23:02 |
| Stormx2 | SuperDefenderX: What? :/ | 23:02 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Ok so after having put all the info in /mnt. What do I do after? | 23:02 |
| tanath | Killeroid, here's how it renders for me: http://img374.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1ij7.png | 23:02 |
| SuperDefenderX | When I step on the peddle my machine makes a funny rattling sound, and i get these strange patterns of thread in the hems of my pants. Does anyone know why??? | 23:02 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, where i could find the log?? | 23:02 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> what have you done so far? | 23:03 |
| bungieQord | does anyone know why my Firefox turns dark for long periods of time and even crashes, all the time | 23:03 |
| turtle_ | no | 23:03 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: So far nothing. I wanted to keep all the info and do it later with tranquility. | 23:03 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: /var/log | 23:03 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> well i guess you are not going to follow me, its useless for me to continue | 23:03 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, found!! this is the log! http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75431/ | 23:04 |
| DeVnOrE | i'm starting my vmware webbserver now so i can check | 23:04 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Apologies. I will do as you say then right now...... OK | 23:04 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, i found also error.log.1 | 23:04 |
| tanath | Killeroid, er, better link: http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/9093/screenshot1ij7.png | 23:04 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> okay do this to create a file, dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=100 bs=1M this means a 100Meg file | 23:05 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, this is the error.log.1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75433/ | 23:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Hi all | 23:05 |
| Cpudan80 | for some reason - the vol up/down/mute buttons on my keyboard control the headphone mixer slider instead of the master mixer slider -- how can I change it? | 23:06 |
| Killeroid | tanath: well, i dont know what to say except deviantart works perfectly on regular firefox 3.0.4 , i am pretty sure the swiftfox devs changed a few settings before rebranding the browser as swiftfox and so those changes might be causing those issues, i recommend you just installing firefox 3.0.4 from the repos and manually changing those settings in about:config that the swiftfox devs changed to make their browser "faster" | 23:06 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: do you have the options FollowSymLinks in your apache config under the default site? | 23:06 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, i think yes!! re-ceck | 23:06 |
| sludge | Voer tekst hier in... | 23:06 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> okay? verify with ls -la disk-image and see if 100meg file is created | 23:07 |
| fractal420 | Hello I'm thinking about trying out the "Make USB startup Disk" feature in ubuntu, does it work pretty good? will it remember my settings and other things I change and files? | 23:07 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: So far I have typed in dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=20 bs=100M and nothing is happening | 23:07 |
| tanath | Killeroid, but i have the same problem on EVERY browser i use, except epiphany-webkit, which crashes when i click on deviations | 23:07 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, where is the .conf??? | 23:07 |
| tanath | Killeroid, even firefox for windows, via wine | 23:07 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> oops, put sudo in the front of that.. have to have root priviledge | 23:07 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: and what permissions do you have on the dir /home/luigi/wwwebserver | 23:08 |
| DeVnOrE | and i | 23:08 |
| DeVnOrE | and its files | 23:08 |
| B_166-ER-X | how can we get a Ban list for a specific chan on xchat ? | 23:08 |
| zetheroo | I am attempting to install cups-pdf from Synaptic ... but its taking forever ... and I am wondering if it is supposed to take this long ... seems to be at the point of "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd" and the hard drive is working non-stop ... what happening? | 23:08 |
| zsquareplusc | zetheroo: is updatedb or tracker running in parallel? | 23:09 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: /etc/apache/sites-available | 23:09 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Typed in sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=20 bs=100M it asked for my password and then ... nothings happening | 23:09 |
| Arod22 | can someone tell me what the default password is for root on ubuntu 8.4? | 23:09 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: probably tracker .. since I did not turn it off | 23:09 |
| zsquareplusc | zetheroo: the install itself should not take long | 23:09 |
| tanath | Killeroid, aha! works in seamonkey | 23:09 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> verify with ls -la disk-image and see if 100meg file is created | 23:09 |
| DeVnOrE | zsquareplusc: there is none | 23:09 |
| Arod22 | oh | 23:10 |
| zsquareplusc | zetheroo: try checking with the system monitor or top | 23:10 |
| sludge | root does not exist in ubuntu | 23:10 |
| zsquareplusc | DeVnOrE: none of what? | 23:10 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> btw you are not paying attention i said count=100 not bs=100M | 23:10 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: yeah trackerd is running... | 23:10 |
| maxbaldwin | how can I find my architecture? nano /etc/cpuinfo ? | 23:10 |
| Killeroid | tanath: hmm, very weird problem you are experiencing, i am totally befuddled | 23:10 |
| Arod22 | ok | 23:10 |
| maxbaldwin | wait, nevermind. | 23:10 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, permission on /home/luigi/wwwebserver http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75435/ | 23:10 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Hav to be patient ... up popped 2.1GB COPIED etc. | 23:11 |
| tanath | Killeroid, yeah, something's weird | 23:11 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: should I End trackerd and tracker-applet? | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> btw you are not paying attention i said count=100 not bs=100M | 23:11 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: How can I delete and do it again then - sorry? | 23:11 |
| Arod22 | im trying to install wine and i ran into a problem.. | 23:11 |
| tanath | Killeroid, well, thanks anyway. i'm good for now | 23:11 |
| apostle | I can ping my machines internally but can't ping internet...help please | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> you can rm -f disk-image | 23:11 |
| tanath | apostle, router? firewall? | 23:12 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, and this is my conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75436/ | 23:12 |
| n8tuser | apostle-> look at your route table via route -n do you have a good gateway? | 23:12 |
| andycaz | how to search for a jpg files in a dir? "find *.jpg /path/dir" didnt work out | 23:12 |
| Killeroid | ttanath: try filing a bug in mozzila's bugzilla or join their irc network(irc.mozilla.org) and ask someone in the firefox channel, maybe someone there can help | 23:12 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: i think you need to set permissions so that www account can read the dir | 23:12 |
| Arod22 | i followed the steps from the winehq website and when i got to the step of going to add/remove programs i got this error | 23:12 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: I tried to end trackerd but it says it is uninteruptible ... wtf? | 23:12 |
| DavidCanarias | Ok done this..... Does that delete my error now so I can start again? | 23:12 |
| apostle | I have a router yes 192.168.2.2 | 23:12 |
| zsquareplusc | zetheroo: if you like your hardisk getting indexed for fast search, leave it on or kill it temporary. i switched it off | 23:12 |
| Killeroid | tanath: try filing a bug in mozilla's bugzilla or join their irc network(irc.mozilla.org) and ask someone in the firefox channel, maybe someone there can help | 23:12 |
| n8tuser | !who | DavidCanarias | 23:12 |
| ubottu | DavidCanarias: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:12 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, how could i set this permission? | 23:12 |
| tanath | apostle, and you can ping the router? | 23:12 |
| Arod22 | Failed to check for installed and available applications | 23:12 |
| zsquareplusc | zetheroo: maybe its running as different user, e.g. root | 23:12 |
| apostle | tanath, yes | 23:12 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: ok.. it worked when i did it the 3rd time | 23:12 |
| tanath | apostle, is the dns failing? | 23:12 |
| DeVnOrE | chmod a+r /home/luigi/wwwserver | 23:12 |
| Arod22 | This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. | 23:12 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: ubottu wants us to go private OK? | 23:13 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: and now the install just finished | 23:13 |
| Arod22 | can anyone tell me how to fix this? | 23:13 |
| zetheroo | zsquareplusc: thanks for your help | 23:13 |
| DeVnOrE | or change the group to www and chmod g+r | 23:13 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> nope, stay put here | 23:13 |
| apostle | I am connected from anothe rmachine | 23:13 |
| DeVnOrE | maybe even recursivly | 23:13 |
| tanath | Killeroid, well it might be something funky with ubuntu, rather than them. it's not affecting you | 23:13 |
| DavidCanarias | ok | 23:13 |
| apostle | and dns works but yes it is failing from that machine on the network but can ping local computers | 23:13 |
| DeVnOrE | chmod -R a+r /home/luigi/wwwserver | 23:13 |
| maxbaldwin | how can I find my architecture? nano /etc/cpuinfo ? | 23:13 |
| DavidCanarias | So is the file deleted so the space is free again so I can start again..... ? | 23:13 |
| === kiosk is now known as prabu | ||
| apostle | the /etc/resolve.conf are identical on the working system and the new system | 23:13 |
| tanath | apostle, does pinging external addresses fail from every machine on your network? | 23:14 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> im not going to respond to you if you dont prefix my nick on your responses | 23:14 |
| Arod22 | ? | 23:14 |
| apostle | tanath, no | 23:14 |
| apostle | tanath, just the new machine | 23:14 |
| fde | maxbaldwin: cat /proc/cpuinfo ... but you probably want to just uname -a | 23:14 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Upps! Apologies..... | 23:14 |
| jason__ | Hi, I'm getting very poor performance running Vino on an AMD 64 3000+ (2.0 Ghz) PC that I'm using as an OpenVPN/Samba File & print server. Even at 800x600 over a 100 mbit wired LAN it's quite slow. This seems to be due to Xorg's high CPU usage. Is there a solution to this issue? | 23:14 |
| tanath | apostle, firewall? check sudo iptables -L | 23:14 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: So is the file deleted so the space is free again so I can start again..... ? | 23:14 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, i've done chmod -R a+r /home/luigi/wwwserver, but this did'nt work yet! | 23:14 |
| fde | maxbaldwin: you don't want to be editing anything in /proc unless you know exactly what you're doing.... | 23:14 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> yes | 23:15 |
| jason__ | I run RealVNC on two windows machines and get much better performance even running over the internet on 1 Mbit upload | 23:15 |
| sludge | I would like to get my logitech quickcam to work i.c.w. amsn in ubuntu intripid, does anyone have got it working? | 23:15 |
| === kiosk is now known as prabu | ||
| maxbaldwin | I did cat /proc/cpuinfo and got what I wal looking for, thanks. | 23:15 |
| DeVnOrE | what url are you using luigi ? | 23:15 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Thks. I will now start from the beginning and put in the first command and come back | 23:15 |
| constantin_ | i have a dual booting laptop with os x and ubuntu with all my music on my os x partition. is there an easy way to have my os x always mounted and keep my music accessible in ubuntu? whenever i try to access the partition through the ubuntu gui it says permission denied | 23:15 |
| fde | sludge: have you tried it yet... it should be supported out of the box... got it working here, sure | 23:15 |
| zsquareplusc | jason_: to get speedy VNC desktops, run a virtual second server with vncserver or such. sharing display 0 is always slower as it need to read the screen back | 23:15 |
| ddelony | I'm going to try running Ubuntu 8.10 on Virtualbox on Mac OS X. Any tips? | 23:15 |
| wedgeoflemon | im having problems with dual booting windows and ubuntu. i remember i set it up for a dual boot, but it doesnt give me the option to start xp. any help please? | 23:15 |
| apostle | tanath, referring to firewall on new system? | 23:15 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, i'm using "http:localhost" | 23:16 |
| fde | ddelony: not related to this channel, you should have no issues though | 23:16 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: is there a index.html in /home/lubic/igi/wwwsservevr | 23:16 |
| vock | Just wondering if someone knew of a messenger client, like pidgin lite? I tried trillian through wine, but I'd prefer something native to linux...I just don't like pidgin's 33 MB resource stamp. | 23:16 |
| tanath | apostle, whichever isn't working | 23:16 |
| sludge | I have tried it many time, but with cheese i do not get a picture. | 23:16 |
| ddelony | fde: Hmm, I thought running Ubuntu under virtualization would be on topic. | 23:16 |
| tanath | apostle, if you can ping from one, but not the other, we should be able to rule out the router | 23:16 |
| apostle | tanath, iptables are alls et to accept | 23:16 |
| constantin_ | i have a dual booting laptop with os x and ubuntu with all my music on my os x partition. is there an easy way to have my os x always mounted and keep my music accessible in ubuntu? whenever i try to access the partition through the ubuntu gui it says permission denied | 23:17 |
| apostle | tanath, I can | 23:17 |
| gwennn | constantin:you must make a link in your home directory | 23:17 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: I got the first one wrong so is this the correct command .... dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=100 bs | 23:17 |
| fde | vock: umm, trillian has about a 50-70mb footprint on Windows... Live Messenger has about the same... its not that much for an IM client | 23:17 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, i didn't see any index.html... | 23:17 |
| jason__ | zsquareplusc, That would be a fine solution. However, why would it affect Xorg's CPU usage to such an extent? Network speed isn't the problem as I'm on a 100 mbit lan. | 23:17 |
| fde | ddelony: its not | 23:17 |
| tanath | apostle, do you have machine-specific rules on your router? perhaps you're only allowing pings & possibly other traffic from the one machine thru whitelisting | 23:17 |
| tim167 | how do i run an *.egg ? | 23:17 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=100 bs=1M this means a 100Meg file | 23:17 |
| constantin_ | gwenn: how do i do that? | 23:17 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, index.html is on /var/www | 23:17 |
| apostle | tanath, I have 3 other machines that access the internet with no problem | 23:18 |
| fde | tim167: what exactly is a .egg? | 23:18 |
| aoupi | tim167: with eggdrop I presume | 23:18 |
| DeVnOrE | try copying it to the public dir | 23:18 |
| tanath | apostle, and you didn't configure anything for them on your router? | 23:18 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: One DVD is 1.3GB and the other 1.9GB so would I need to put more than 100bs | 23:18 |
| vock | fde: On windows, my trillian was only bout 15 MB or so... | 23:18 |
| zsquareplusc | jason__: that i dont know. it may also depend on the viewer. some are broken and request full screen update instead of differential updates every time | 23:18 |
| jason__ | zsquareplusc, also, when i tried using vncserver it just gave me a box with a terminal window. Is there a howto that can assist me in setting it up to show a desktop. | 23:18 |
| apostle | tanath, no I did not....just setting up the ip's statically | 23:18 |
| constantin_ | gwennn: how do u create a link my home dir to achieve that? | 23:18 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, this is my IP: 217.133.74.142 if you want to try to open it.... | 23:18 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> adjust count to correspond to your need | 23:19 |
| jason__ | zsquareplusc, I'm using the VNC 4 Enterprise viewer on Windows. Do you know of any better viewers for windows? | 23:19 |
| tanath | apostle, and the new box can ping the router? and other networked machines? | 23:19 |
| gwennn | run as root ln your address point_a_directory | 23:19 |
| apostle | tanath, yes | 23:19 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser so would I type in 3.2GB?? | 23:19 |
| gwennn | see man ln | 23:19 |
| aoupi | gwennn: that won't really help his permission problem | 23:19 |
| jason__ | zsquareplusc, basically I just want a desktop. It doesn't have to be on :0. | 23:19 |
| tanath | apostle, you might try taking the network offline for a minute to see if it can ping when it's the only machine connected (directly) | 23:19 |
| fde | vock: no, that was the resident memory footprint... more is in shared memory. Difference being, shared memory can be taken over if someone else needs it. | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | i can access the partition | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | just not partitions | 23:20 |
| gwennn | yes | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | errr | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | permissions | 23:20 |
| FloodBot1 | constantin_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:20 |
| gwennn | chmod u+x | 23:20 |
| vock | fde: Thanks, didn't know that | 23:20 |
| sludge | what is the username and password for 217.133.74.142 | 23:20 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, didn't wonk anyway on LAN.. | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | can i chmod i the gui or do i need a console command? | 23:20 |
| aoupi | constantin_: you know how to mount and about /etc/fstab? | 23:20 |
| zsquareplusc | jason__: i think you can create a start file within ~/.vnc/ and launch gnome-session in it. dont remenber its name right now | 23:20 |
| tanath | apostle, but it sounds like something specific to that machine. have you done anything to it yet? | 23:20 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> think a lil bit please, count=100 bs=1M for 100 meg so what you think is 1.2gig ? | 23:20 |
| apostle | its so strange should be working | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | well the drive is already mounted | 23:20 |
| constantin_ | or rather i can see it in ubuntu | 23:21 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: i think i | 23:21 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Sorry being a newbie is a nuisance isn't it? would this be2300bs? | 23:21 |
| fde | vock: Linux enjoys keeping things in shared memory even more than Windows though, because RAM is faster than a hard drive. | 23:21 |
| metbsd | is there software to enable fingerprint scanner? | 23:21 |
| apostle | tanath, I had to manually set up the ipconfig for its network card | 23:21 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: i think i'v located the prob | 23:21 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> okay, im giving up, i dont have the patience right now, | 23:21 |
| DeVnOrE | in your conf-file | 23:21 |
| gwennn | constantin:now make the link | 23:21 |
| zsquareplusc | jason__: $HOME/.vnc/xstartup | 23:21 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, let's hope!!!! | 23:21 |
| tanath | apostle, maybe that had something to do with it | 23:21 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: I understand you. Thanks very much for your patience so far...... | 23:21 |
| constantin_ | what's the exact command i use in terminal? | 23:21 |
| apostle | /sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 23:21 |
| DeVnOrE | give me a sec | 23:21 |
| tanath | apostle, should check your config | 23:22 |
| apostle | tanath, why would I be able to ping internally and not outside and the gateway and the dns are set up properly | 23:22 |
| jason__ | zsquareplusc, ah, thank you - just what i wanted | 23:22 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, yes! | 23:22 |
| metbsd | is there software that let me login with fingerprint? | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | metbsd: Yes | 23:22 |
| tanath | apostle, that is weird... | 23:22 |
| fde | vock: look at 'free -m' for instance... the cached column is available for other apps, but is currently occupied until then for performance... you buy RAM to use it, not to have it wasted... or at least I do. | 23:22 |
| metbsd | Jordan_U: what is it? | 23:22 |
| jason__ | zsquareplusc, I set this up years back on Debian 3.1 but forgot the file to edit | 23:22 |
| unlink | i have an AR242x and have tried ndiswrapper, ath_pci, and ath5k, and with each of them, when i try iwlist $interface scan, i just get "$interface: no scan results" (wireless worked in windows) | 23:22 |
| n8tuser | apostle-> how did you confirm you have good route and gateway? can you post your route -n results ? | 23:22 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: Sorry I wasn't replying to you 1.2gig bit I was replying to my total capacity of the two DVD i.e. 2.3GB = 2300bs | 23:23 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75445/ | 23:23 |
| zsquareplusc | metbsd: there is software that lets you log in with your bluetooth device :-) | 23:23 |
| n8tuser | unlink-> is interface defined if not, $interface will also be blank | 23:23 |
| gwennn | lyou need the exact address pointing your music file | 23:23 |
| constantin_ | gwennn: what's the exact terminal command to make the link? | 23:23 |
| metbsd | what's software to let me use my fingerprint | 23:23 |
| metbsd | ? | 23:23 |
| unlink | n8tuser: i'm just using $interface as a variable to mean "ath0" or "wlan0" depending on the driver | 23:23 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: the 1.2gig would be 1200bs right? Or have you now given up on me forever? | 23:23 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, could i delete my conf and paste your pastebin? | 23:23 |
| tanath | apostle, are you sure the address you're trying to ping is up? try pinging google.com ? | 23:23 |
| b33r | some apps are using A LOT of ram what seems to be the problem?? audacious 250MB, firefox 179MB, pidgin 164MB, nautilus 133MB | 23:24 |
| DeVnOrE | i don't remember if you should finish the DocumentRoot with a / or not i think it's not | 23:24 |
| n8tuser | DavidCanarias-> i've given up on you | 23:24 |
| DavidCanarias | n8tuser: OK, bye | 23:24 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: it's only the <Document that i have changed | 23:24 |
| tanath | apostle, and you can get online with the new box, right? | 23:24 |
| jotil | b33r: that is abnormal | 23:24 |
| fde | metbsd: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+fingerprint&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a knock yourself out, don't be lazy next time | 23:24 |
| apostle | tanath, I cannot | 23:24 |
| b33r | jotil, I know =0 | 23:24 |
| gwennn | ln your address nameofthelink | 23:24 |
| peepsalot | i upgraded to ubuntu intrepid, and now my laptop WiFi LED is always blinking. it never used to blink before. it's kind of annoying | 23:24 |
| tanath | apostle, oh, you can't get online? i thought you just couldn't ping | 23:25 |
| peepsalot | is there a way to just make it on, or off instead of constant blinking? | 23:25 |
| jotil | b33r: top and see what is going on | 23:25 |
| unlink | the only thing i haven't tried is manually compiling a driver -- but that is not an option because i will not be present for future upgrades | 23:25 |
| constantin_ | and will that solve my permission thing gwennn? | 23:25 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: then restart the server sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | metbsd: I have never used it but "thinkfinger" | 23:25 |
| fde | unlink: keep things to one line, makes it easier to follow you... what exactly is your issue? | 23:26 |
| tanath | apostle, n8tuser asked: " apostle-> how did you confirm you have good route and gateway? can you post your route -n results ?" | 23:26 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, just copy the line 11 or all the file? | 23:26 |
| strN00B | i want to partition my Ubuntu systems harddrive into 2 file systems.. one with etx3 (ubuntu OS), and one with NSTF as a shared drive.. will Ubuntu be able to share the NSTF drive? | 23:26 |

| b33r | jotil, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75446/ | 23:26 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: sorry should be sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 23:26 |
| apostle | n8tuser, what was the route command? | 23:26 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: only line 11 | 23:26 |
| gwennn | enter in your music file as root and then chmod u+x nomefile | 23:26 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, done.. | 23:26 |
| unlink | n8tuser: yes, i have seen that, but compiling a driver is not an option for me | 23:26 |
| wedgeoflemon | how do i set up my graphics card? | 23:26 |
| luigi | restarting! | 23:26 |
| jotil | b33r | 23:27 |

| strN00B | i want to partition my Ubuntu systems harddrive into 2 file systems.. one with etx3 (ubuntu OS), and one with NSTF as a shared drive.. will Ubuntu be able to share the NSTF partition? | 23:27 |
| jotil | b33r: restart your X | 23:27 |
| tanath | apostle, 'route -n' | 23:27 |
| b33r | jotil, why? :/ | 23:27 |
| aoupi | constantin_: check out umask | 23:27 |
| constantin_ | umask? | 23:27 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: luigi do "touch /home/luigi/wwwserver/index.html | 23:28 |
| gwennn | constantin take a look at man chmod | 23:28 |
| n8tuser | apostle-> how did you confirm you have good route and gateway? can you post your route -n results ? | 23:28 |
| fde | unlink: no offense, but you should have thought about that when purchasing the hardware... you can just lock the kernel at the current version though if everything works fine :/ | 23:28 |
| tanath | apostle, what's the gateway for 0.0.0.0? | 23:28 |
| apostle | tanath, its not brining up anything now | 23:28 |
| tanath | apostle, that's not right. ;) | 23:28 |
| aoupi | constantin_: umask does wonder for wrong permissions on mounted drives | 23:28 |
| unlink | fde: i didn't purchase the hardware, i'm helping someone else installl linux | 23:28 |
| fde | !holding > unlink | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about holding | 23:28 |
| tanath | apostle, try a reboot? | 23:28 |
| strN00B | i want to partition my Ubuntu systems harddrive into 2 file systems.. one with ext3 (ubuntu OS), and one with NSTF as a shared drive.. will Ubuntu be able to share the NSTF partition? | 23:28 |
| apostle | tanath, what is the exact command I should run to get it going... | 23:28 |
| jotil | b33r: seems like Xorg is causing trouble? not a big deal takes a second. save all your work. hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 23:28 |
| constantin_ | is it an app or a terminal command? | 23:28 |
| aoupi | constantin_: also check out the uid and gid mount options | 23:28 |
| gwennn | but you can also make it graphically | 23:28 |
| fde | !pinning > unlink | 23:28 |
| ubottu | unlink, please see my private message | 23:28 |
| aoupi | constantin_: I'm a bit tired and going to bed now, otherwise I could explain more in-depth :) | 23:29 |
| gwennn | terminal | 23:29 |
| unlink | yeah, i know about apt pinning, but that means no security fixes in the kernel | 23:29 |
| iAreBaboon | hi all, i have a dualboot windows ntfs + ubuntu 8.04... my windows was corrupted so i reinstalled it... although it removed grub it doesn't seem to have reinstalled the MBR properly because i just get a hanging black screen on startup.... anyway how can i re-install grub from a liveCD ? | 23:29 |
| tanath | apostle, have you tried playing with the network manager? | 23:29 |
| fde | unlink: see the bottom of that wiki page... they insisted on keeping the holding info on that page I guess... | 23:29 |
| constantin_ | okay | 23:29 |
| iAreBaboon | is it at all possible actually ? | 23:29 |
| fde | unlink: I wrote the top part | 23:29 |
| constantin_ | i'll just use man uid and man gid | 23:29 |
| b33r | jotil, isn't it better to "fix" the problem instead of restarting X every now and then :/ | 23:29 |
| aoupi | constantin_: man mount, you'll find it in there | 23:29 |
| apostle | tanath, I don't have x installed | 23:29 |
| constantin_ | okay thanks | 23:29 |
| tanath | apostle, you running ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| ddelony | iAreBaboon: Hmmm, does the installer find your partitions? | 23:29 |
| finferflu | hey guys | 23:30 |
| jotil | b33r: what exactly do you think is causing the memory hog? | 23:30 |
| finferflu | i was trying to install 8.04 on a machine | 23:30 |
| zsquareplusc | iAreBaboon: i think this should work. terminal-> sudo chroot /media/<yourubuntuparthere>; update-grub | 23:30 |
| tanath | apostle, i think you run ifdown, and ifup | 23:30 |
| ddelony | iAreBaboon: Does Ubuntu see your Windows partition? | 23:30 |
| finferflu | but after choosing the language, the enter key doesn't work | 23:30 |
| fde | unlink: that way, if you hold it, the kernel won't be upgraded ever again until the option is turned off manually... so you don't have to worry, but you might have to guide them through any security updated that might be an issue | 23:30 |
| finferflu | so I can't proceed with the installation | 23:30 |
| b33r | jotil, I don't know -.- | 23:30 |
| finferflu | any ideas? | 23:30 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, maybe the restarting didn't work: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75451/ | 23:30 |
| apostle | tanath, route -N Dest... 192.168.2.0 Gateway 0.0.0.0 genmask.....255.255.255.0 | 23:31 |
| unlink | fde: yeah, i know about apt pinning, but that means no security fixes in the kernel | 23:31 |
| jotil | b33r: i say restart X. start those 4 applications one by one and see what happens | 23:31 |
| apostle | tanath, should my gateway column say 192.168.2.2 | 23:31 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: and the keypad enter? | 23:31 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: same thing | 23:31 |
| fde | unlink: the top part is pinning, the bottom part is holding... hate that they confuse those two... | 23:31 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: yes it worked that's only a warning | 23:31 |
| jotil | b33r: sounds like an idea or you have something else on your mind? | 23:31 |
| apostle | tanath, how do I get my gateway configure from ifconfig? | 23:31 |
| b33r | jotil, after I restart X it will work just fine but it just starts using more after few hours | 23:32 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, touch did'nt work... | 23:32 |
| jotil | b33r: so you have been down the road already.... | 23:32 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: you have selected your keyboard or do you want an other? | 23:32 |
| rand0m | wow, just being on the google main page.... firefox was just taking up 97% of my system resources | 23:33 |
| tanath | apostle, i don't think ifconfig tells you your gateway | 23:33 |
| b33r | jotil, yeah but I don't want to restart every few hours :/ | 23:33 |
| fde | unlink: your options are: 1) replace the wireless nic with something better supported; 2) hold the kernel and lack security updates; 3) teach the user how to compile the drivers themselves when required; 4) Use an OS with better support for Atheros stuff... that's it. | 23:33 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, impossible to touch /home/luigi/wwwebserver/index.html: any file o dir. | 23:33 |
| jotil | b33r: it is really difficult to say about what is causing the memory hog without monitoring | 23:33 |
| tanath | apostle, but try 'sudo ifconfig down && sudo ifconfig up' | 23:33 |
| rand0m | anyone know if firefox has glitches or like.... bandwidth suxoring problems | 23:33 |
| fde | unlink: Linux is accepting a lot of Atheros drivers right now... but apparently yours isn't there yet | 23:33 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: no, it's the keyboard I want to use, I mean it's just the first screen before starting the liveCD | 23:33 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: wwwserver is misspelled | 23:33 |
| apostle | tanath, I got it | 23:33 |
| unlink | fde: do you know any distributions which have this packaged? | 23:33 |
| iAreBaboon | ddelony, zsquareplusc: to give more detail... basically i have 2 linux OS' + 1 windows. but the windows got corrupted somehow such that grub was able to boot both linuxes but not the windows partition.... i reinstalled via the reinstallation dvd but after the installer restarted i just end up with a bllinking dash forever in place of the old grub.... so i'm not sure why i'm not seeing the... | 23:33 |
| iAreBaboon | ...windows MBR menu like i should.... but anyway i was thinking to reinstall grub and see if i can boot windows that way. so i must do this from a liveCD... i'm currently loaded in ubuntu 8.04 liveCD | 23:34 |
| unlink | sid? | 23:34 |
| apostle | route add default gw 192.168.2.2 eth1 | 23:34 |
| Din|BSD | How do you 'select all' with nano, is that even possible? | 23:34 |
| b33r | jotil, so there's no solution for this? | 23:34 |
| fde | unlink: if ubuntu doesn't, no one does. | 23:34 |
| apostle | tanath, thanks :) | 23:34 |
| tanath | apostle, then check route -n again | 23:34 |
| tanath | apostle, works now? | 23:34 |
| apostle | tanath, yes thanks man :) | 23:34 |
| Fougner | unlink: you searching for Atheros WLAN drivers? =) | 23:34 |
| tanath | apostle, cool. :) | 23:34 |
| fde | unlink: Ubuntu is about as lenient as it gets with non-gpl drivers | 23:34 |
| unlink | Fougner: bingo | 23:34 |
| apostle | tanath, thank man really appreciate it | 23:34 |
| Fougner | unlink: which card? | 23:34 |
| fde | Fougner: yes he is... packaged in a repo | 23:34 |
| unlink | fde: true but some (like sid) are more up-tod-ate | 23:34 |
| tanath | apostle, yw | 23:34 |
| jotil | b33r: you will have to monitor and google,,, | 23:34 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: ha, there. hm. maybe it hangs. i've seen PC's with problems using these menus. things you could do is: 1) check the CD 2) try again 3) install with default, change language later | 23:34 |

| fde | s/on/of/ | 23:35 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, shit! FORBIDDEN again! | 23:36 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: also, the fact that Enter works for selecting the language and stops working right after that is very odd | 23:36 |
| Fougner | unlink: I've had problems with my AR5007EG for like a year, and the I tried patching the kernel with the wireless 2.6 something | 23:36 |
| fde | !language | luigi | 23:36 |
| ubottu | luigi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:36 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: and <TAB>? it should start the line editor. maybe is enter working there | 23:36 |
| luigi | fde sorry!!! | 23:36 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, FORBIDDEN again! | 23:37 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: what to after pressing TAB? | 23:37 |
| jotil | b33r: because i have never had any memory hogging issues on Linux, i am afraid i will not be of much help | 23:37 |
| unlink | fde: i'm just very surprised that ndiswrapper didn't work... /var/log/messages even listed the encryption capabilities of wlan09 | 23:37 |
| iAreBaboon | so my question was basically.... can i reinstall grub to a certain partition while running from liveCD ? or must i reinstall linux completely so it will install grub and hopefully detect my windows and llinux partitions | 23:37 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: enter :-) | 23:37 |
| jadams | I've got an nvidia geforce 9800 XT, massively powerful card. In counterstrike:source under wine, it gets only around 30fps on modest video settings, the same as my previous card. this card should dominate. What am I doing wrong? | 23:37 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: so what does TAB do? | 23:37 |
| Fougner | unlink: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download | 23:37 |
| b33r | jotil, ok thanks anyway | 23:37 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: I think I didn't get it | 23:37 |
| fde | unlink: there are a lot of kernel developers fighting to get ndiswrapper to never be able to work... | 23:37 |
| jotil | b33r: but your Xorg seems a bit too busy for my taste. you might want to look into that. | 23:37 |
| GodfatherofEire | Having a small problem with synaptic, a package tried to install, but failed, and now I cant seem to fix this problem, any ideas? | 23:38 |
| Fougner | unlink: look there, I don't know what you want really, but that's the way I got it working | 23:38 |
| zsquareplusc | iAreBaboon: the commands i gave would install the grub as it was configured for your installed ubuntu. it would restore the menu you had | 23:38 |
| elvirolo | hi everyone | 23:38 |
| unlink | ndiswrapper looks like the best option for me right now | 23:38 |
| DeVnOrE | try changong DocumentRoot and <Document /var/www/privat/> to /home/luigi/wwwserver | 23:38 |
| unlink | that is, it is closer to working than anything else i've tried | 23:39 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, ok. but how? | 23:39 |
| fde | unlink: if your card is listed on Fougner's link, use that... ndiswrapper is a horrible solution, and is considered illegal and unwelcomed. | 23:39 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: well, maybe TAB isnt working with that menu type. the isolinux/syslinux stuff has grown many options and menu stlyes.. if enter isnt working i'd try booting with the default and set the language later. the installer will ask you anyways | 23:39 |
| elvirolo | how do i disable the gnome keyring? | 23:39 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: i'll post a conf for you in about 3min | 23:39 |
| gusto5 | hi, ive lost sound all of the sudden (altogether), any hints? | 23:39 |
| unlink | i've dealt with compiling wireless drivers for awhile... it's ugly and not fun (ipw3945 from nov 2006-mid 2007) | 23:39 |
| kkathman | how would one change the background color of the ubuntu menus ? | 23:39 |
| fde | unlink: it links Windows binary drivers into the linux kernel, against code that is GPL only... so it causes quite the stir | 23:40 |
| b33r | jotil, want me to paste my xorg configuration? | 23:40 |
| unlink | fde: i know what it does | 23:40 |
| GodfatherofEire | kkathman system-preferences-appearance | 23:40 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, thanks a lot! i'm waiting for your post! | 23:40 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: yeah, I tried with default, but no joy, however I still have to see what TAB achieves :P | 23:40 |
| unlink | i had to not only recompile my whole kernel to get it to work, but also remove the whole wireless subsystem and replace it with a patched version | 23:40 |
| kkathman | GodfatherofEire, hmm I dont think that changes the actual ubuntu menu tho...it does change windows and apps tho | 23:40 |
| GodfatherofEire | Like the background for the panels? | 23:41 |
| fde | kkathman: right click desktop > change desktop background ... go to themes tab, customize theme, then play with the colors some | 23:41 |
| zsquareplusc | finferflu: it should show the kernel/parameter line and allow to edit that line. but maybe that fetaure is not possible with the menu on the cd | 23:41 |
| kkathman | GodfatherofEire, the background color of Applications, Places, System | 23:41 |
| stitch_my_smile_ | alt-0 | 23:41 |
| fde | kkathman: the colors of the theme apply to that, yes.... | 23:42 |
| kkathman | its that grungy grey | 23:42 |
| finferflu | zsquareplusc: alright, thanks for that, I will try, else I will burn a new cd and see how it goes. Have a nice day :) | 23:42 |
| fde | kkathman: that means your current theme can't be customized | 23:42 |
| gusto5 | can anyone lend me a hand with sound (or lackthereof) | 23:42 |
| fde | gusto5: depends... lspci | grep -i audio | 23:43 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | kkathman: if you mean the panels, then all you have to do is adjust the panel colors, which will adjust the main menu | 23:43 |

| kkathman | GodfatherofEire, well there are options to customize Windows, Input boxes Selections and Tooltips - which one changes the menu?? lol | 23:44 |
| kkathman | or maybe its border? | 23:44 |

| fde | gusto5: lsmod | grep snd-hda-intel return anything? | 23:44 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | kkathman, if you mean modifying a specific theme to something else, then you'd have to get the source code, and go from there | 23:45 |
| gusto5 | fde, nope | 23:45 |
| kkathman | hmm | 23:45 |
| kkathman | ok | 23:45 |

| Fougner | kkathman: GDM is the login-screen | 23:48 |

| fde | gusto5: lsof /dev/snd/* | 23:48 |
| kkathman | Fougner, ahh ok thanks | 23:48 |
| Fougner | kkathman: and GTK is for gnome environment | 23:48 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | kkathman, The GTK themes are window decorator themes, the GDM themes are the login, and Metacity is the desktop | 23:48 |
| gusto5 | yes response? need to see it fde? | 23:48 |
| unlink | is this packaged in jaunty? | 23:48 |
| zsquareplusc | b33r: these are virtual memory figures. i.e. with all the libraries loaded. but the libraries are also shared between applications. so the real memory used isnt as much as the sum of these numbers | 23:48 |

| Fougner | oh.. I'm confused, you don't mind explain it, do you? | 23:50 |
| gusto5 | fde, i am running intrepid on 2.6.27-7 kernel | 23:50 |
| unlink | i'm wondering if the kernel packages for jaunty have the new madwifi drivers | 23:51 |
| gusto5 | fde, its confusing because it worked since installation till yesterday lol | 23:51 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | unlink, they already have a alpha/beta of Jaunty released? | 23:51 |
| fde | gusto5: for fun then, try 'pulseaudio --stop && pulseaudio --start' ... ignore the errors, and try to play a sound... anything? | 23:51 |
| unlink | no, just some packages uploaded | 23:51 |
| Fougner | unlink: I have no idea.. | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | unlink: Jaunty help is available in #ubuntu+1 | 23:52 |
| b33r | zsquareplusc, but top is saying I'm using a lot I already pasted the output of top :/ | 23:52 |
| wedgeoflemon | when i have the trash on my desktop the trash always apears to be full even when i empty it | 23:52 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Unlink, what sort of packages, like, any specifics? | 23:52 |
| zetheroo | my wireless connectivity and printing is horrible with Intrepid | 23:52 |
| fde | unlink: currently, I don't think Jaunty is being populated with anything new | 23:52 |
| gusto5 | fde, nope | 23:52 |
| unlink | http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ | 23:52 |
| gusto5 | fde, wont recognize --stop or --start | 23:52 |
| mikkel_ | need help! Realtek 8187B - Wireless, Ubuntu 8.10 cannot find the hardware lsbusb-output:Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8198 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 23:52 |
| hmw | i had compiz running, then i accidently unchecked "Mirror Screens" in the resolution settings. Now my Radeon9600 is in clone mode and i cant activate the advanced graphics stuff anymore. Can i reset the thing? Where does the ATI driver store its settings? | 23:52 |
| zetheroo | I can print test pages from the Printing Properties dialog .... but no programs will print at all! | 23:53 |
| fde | gusto5: last guess would be to restart again then, other than that, I have no idea.... | 23:53 |
| gusto5 | okay, thanks a lot fde | 23:53 |
| Serval | I installed KVirc, but where did it go? | 23:53 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | And does anybody have any advice on getting a winprinter to work, like how to somehow adapt it to linux, or would I have to start from scratch to get it working? | 23:54 |
| Fougner | hmw: try "aticonfig --initiate" or something in terminal | 23:54 |
| fde | gusto5: sound is overly finicky on linux, and everything they do to better the situation just makes it more complicated when things go wrong to troubleshoot :( | 23:54 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75460/ | 23:54 |
| hmw | Serval: try "which KVirc" (if KVirc is the program binaries' name | 23:54 |
| kitche | GodfatherofEire2: cups is used most likely unless you have very odd printer | 23:54 |
| Kanzar | hi... i'm trying to set up azureus - the ports have been properly forwarded at the router (at least, the same settings would have worked in windows ?_?), but I am getting 'unable to test port' - am using Firestarter, outbound is permissive by default | 23:54 |
| Serval | where do I try "which KVirc"? | 23:54 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, ok, i'll see the pastebin! | 23:54 |
| fde | Serval: another thing to try: dpkg -L kvirc | grep bin (or without the grep part to see everything it installed) | 23:55 |
| Fougner | Serval: in the terminal =) | 23:55 |
| === darkbishop_ is now known as darkdeeper | ||
| DeVnOrE | luigi: check that the paths are right | 23:55 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | kitche, here's the problem, as far as I know, its as good as a paperweight under linux. At least according to openprinting | 23:55 |
| Fougner | hmw: I mean, "aticonfig --initial" | 23:55 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: and do "chown -R luigi:www /home/luigi/wwwserver" | 23:56 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, can i just copy and paste your conf? | 23:56 |
| DeVnOrE | yes | 23:56 |
| hmw | Fougner: aah! i now remember that i could "repair" stuff with aticonfig in my previous ubuntu, just forgot, that it existed. i will have to download it, but now i think, i am fine. thx | 23:56 |
| Kanzar | ._. | 23:56 |
| metbsd | i need to install nvidia driver 177, where do i fetch it and place it for installation | 23:56 |
| luigi | DeVnOrE, or i had to check each line? | 23:56 |
| gusto5 | fde, no luck, but thanks for your efforts | 23:56 |
| DeVnOrE | luigi: nah | 23:57 |
| Kanzar | alright, now i'm getting "NAT Error - Connection to 203.214.103.162:16292 closed - end of stream during read." | 23:57 |
| darkdeeper | metbsd, nvidia website | 23:57 |

| gaby | hello everyone, i am pretty new to linux and i want to know if and how can i enable system sounds with compiz fusion?ive tried many versions of linux and in none sys sound with compiz wont work!anyone have ideas? | 23:57 |
| Kanzar | i'm fairly certain the port is correctly forwarded at the router, so... what is wrong with my firestarter config? | 23:57 |
| Kanzar | (firestarter is also not reporting any blocked connection) | 23:57 |
| Kanzar | *connections | 23:57 |
| mikkel_ | Need help! RTL8187B works in Vista, but not in Ubuntu 8.10! lsub output: Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8198 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 23:58 |
| Serval | Ok, I found KVirc in /usr/local/bin/kvirc, but how do I run it? | 23:58 |
| kkathman | GodfatherofEire, have you heard of theme engines?? If so, how are these installed?? | 23:58 |
| darkdeeper | Kanzar, did u open ur port in ur computer | 23:58 |
| Fougner | kkathman: you have some of them in Synaptic.. | 23:58 |
| Kanzar | yeah | 23:58 |
| Kanzar | i have | 23:58 |
| Kanzar | oh | 23:58 |
| Ademan | bugs.freedesktop.org has a bad ssl cert according to firefox, reason for concern? | 23:58 |
| Kanzar | just used www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=16292 | 23:58 |
| Kanzar | it says open | 23:58 |
| FloodBot1 | Kanzar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:58 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | Beat me to the punch twice Fougner | 23:59 |
| Kanzar | -_- whoops. anyway, yes, I have forwarded, the utorrent check works, not the azureus check | 23:59 |
| Fougner | GodfatherofEire2: oh, sorry? =) | 23:59 |
| kkathman | Fougner well I was looking for Aurora | 23:59 |
| metbsd | how do i install software.. | 23:59 |
| Kanzar | so, I'll assume that it all works, and it's just azureus' port check which is just weird | 23:59 |
| Fougner | kkathman: that one, I think you have to compile yourself.. | 23:59 |
| Werenerd | evening all, is there anyone here familiar with SSH' from a location outside your home network? | 23:59 |
