| woody86 | can anyone help me out, when I boot into 64bit Ubuntu on my 64bit computer, the first thing the screen flashes at me is some error about something in my bio not being correct, and that it's going to cost me 64mb of RAM? Any ideas? | 00:00 |

| Cabay_Jet | @n8tuser: I got a config file with no applicable configurations for my screen, video card, etc | 00:02 |
| tensei | Is there a need to defrag in ubuntu 8.04? Also, can you or should you use ubuntu 8.04 to defrag an NTSF partion? | 00:02 |

| n8tuser | Cabay_Jet-> what do you mean same as before? | 00:03 |
| Flannel | tensei: Yeah | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | woody86, other then dont worry about it.. no. :) its due to how the hardware/bios maps the ram i recall.. I think i lose a few mb here also. | 00:03 |
| tensei | Flannel: thanks | 00:03 |
| Flannel | draco1234: That question would be better asked in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:03 |

| woody86 | dr_willis, thanks :) Do you know how to prevent my 64 installation from going into read-only mode on restart? or why my wireless network disconnects after 2 or 3 mins? | 00:05 |

| MementoMori | zsquareplusc: any other module you would use? | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | woody86, read only - is often done if theres some filesystem issue. I would boot a live cd and fsck the filesystems. | 00:06 |

| cutterjohn | Hi again guys, I've got a quick question wrt new notebook w/ 9600M GT 1680x1050 LCD res, nvidia 177 restricted driver which is only reporting the native LCD resolution to apps (well games). The xorg.conf is virtually empty. Is there a better way to add extra resolutions other than manually specifying all of the modelines and modes then adding them to the xorg.conf file? (new notebook, so I'm somewhat clueless asto the best meth | 00:07 |
| cutterjohn | od and searching forums + net is not helping out much beyond doing the adding modes manually) | 00:07 |
| FabiOne | hi all | 00:07 |
| Xylia2 | Jordan_U: I managed to set up ethernet. Would it be easier to download them to the hard drive of the computer in question? | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | woody86, wireless drivers are often a work in progress... it depends on the exact chipset i imagine. i woudl check the forums for any one else with the same chiset/problems | 00:07 |
| Oneiroii | Oh, well... talk to y'all later. Time to go peel the potatoes. | 00:08 |
| woody86 | dr_willis, well, I meant the read-only only happens in 64 bit, and not in 32 bit | 00:08 |
| cutterjohn | Oh oops, its 32b Ubuntu 8.10 | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | Xylia2: Yes, if you have an ethernet connection then just install fwcutter and it will offer to download those files for you ( and extract the firmware from them ) | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | woody86, it pays to be clear :) that makes no sence however.. I would still fsck the filesytem to be ure they are ok. | 00:08 |

The dvd will mount but will not play. i have tried mplayer and vlc. I also tried hanging the fstype in /etc/fstab from "udf,iso9660" to "auto", Any one have any suggestions please? | 00:11 |
| MementoMori | anyway.. trying to sniff pam-http using ws. maybe it's passing parameters in I way I dont consider | 00:11 |
| woody86 | dr_willis, sorry about that. When I install 64 bit on my computer, when it restarts, it restarts into read-only mode. When I remove 64 bit Ubuntu, and install 32 bit Ubuntu on the same computer, it restarts fine. | 00:11 |
| woody86 | I will still run the fsck though | 00:11 |

| Jordan_U | Xylia2: If you are connected to the internet then all you have to do is install b43-fwcutter, during the install process it will do everything for you | 00:14 |

| evolve_ | hey guys, i'm really deperate now, been working on this for 2 days, and i've really tried everything -- an ubuntu iso will not boot on my inspiron 8200, i've confirmed the disk is burned, i know the cd rom is working, boot order is set properly...the computer just will not boot it | 00:15 |
| evolve_ | any ideas? | 00:15 |
| Izinucs | exodus_ms: no sorry.. and I've run vmware a lot.. have you tried #vmware? or virtualbox as an alternative? | 00:15 |
| Cabay_Jet | evolve_: have you tried an alternate install CD? | 00:15 |
| Sync08 | evolve_ , try to burn your iso with the slower speeds that should work.. | 00:16 |
| jellulabo | Hello all - Anyone know why all of the drop down menus in kde apps are blank? | 00:16 |
| evolve_ | Cabay_Jet: yes -- that can not be read either | 00:16 |
| evolve_ | Sync08: i burned it at several speed, including 1x nothing works | 00:16 |
| Cabay_Jet | Try what sync 08 said | 00:16 |
| Jordan_U | Xylia2: It is downloading the windows driver and extracting just the firmware ( the code that runs on the card, not the actual driver ) so that the firmware can be loaded onto the card, the reason it needs to do this is that boradcom won't allow Ubuntu to distribute their firmware directly | 00:16 |
| evolve_ | (which took me forever btw) | 00:16 |
| zsquareplusc | !usb | evolve_ maybe an alternative? | 00:17 |
| ubottu | evolve_ maybe an alternative?: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:17 |
| exodus_ms | Izinucs, no I can't say I have. I have been told that virtualbox is very good. But to be honest I believe this problem is with the udf fs and being able to read the disk with ubuntu | 00:17 |
| evolve_ | tried from USB stick, bios does not support it | 00:17 |
| Xylia2 | Jordan_U: Okay, makes sense. How do I confirm it did this? I downloaded both of the files you linked after downloading b43-fwcutter, but it didn't do anything that I can see. | 00:18 |
| Sync08 | evolve_, well does bios sees the cdrom/dvdrom device? If yes you are burning your cd wrong | 00:18 |
| Sync08 | evolve_, how do you burn your iso ? | 00:18 |
| cutterjohn | AFK for a minute, in case anyone's looking | 00:18 |
| exodus_ms | Izinucs, thanks | 00:18 |
| evolve_ | Sync08: burning the iso with infrarecorder -- cd's all have booted on another machine =x | 00:18 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: do you have an operating system on it now? wubi variant maybe? | 00:18 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: no OS on it =x | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | Xylia2: Did you actually install b43-fwcutter? "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" in a terminal or with synaptic if you prefer a GUI | 00:19 |
| evolve_ | well, corrupt version of windows from a failed install actually | 00:19 |
| Sync08 | evolve_, then check your data cable of dvd/cdrom device. | 00:19 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libv4l | 00:21 |
| Sync08 | evolve_, sometimes bad datacables does do that.. not only scratched cds :) I can recommend you to change your datacable of dvd/cdrom device then check the BIOS for booting options. Set your dvd/cdrom device as first then it should work.. (Usually it does) | 00:21 |
| cvd-pr | ? | 00:21 |
| evolve_ | I do get Disk error! 0x0C from smart boot manager whenever I attempt any linux cd...could it be possible my bios is too updated and dell has blocked linux from being able to be installed? | 00:22 |

| Sync08 | evolve_, No updated bios has nothing to do with that. | 00:23 |
| MementoMori | demon_: close the other package manager you have opened | 00:23 |
| MementoMori | or use sudo | 00:23 |
| Adamzagursky | why does it kick me into a shell? | 00:23 |
| Sync08 | evolve_, well you can try external cdrom if you have one? or if your bios supports you can try USB booting? :) | 00:24 |

| zsquareplusc | evolve_: network install, yes. but the files you need do not fit on a floppy | 00:26 |
| savageone | flannel: also, for $41 us, the link you sent me is a little much and it ONLY fixes the dvd situation not the mp3 etc | 00:26 |
| Cabay_Jet | evolve_: a network install would be best based off a USB drive | 00:26 |
| savageone | I'm aware of this link regarding the "2 commands" but it's not legal in the us | 00:27 |

| dr_willis | exodus_ms, if you see the files in /media/cdrom0 I belive both mplayer and vlc have a 'play directory' item that will play the files from there. | 00:27 |
| Flannel | savageone: Theres other stuff for media (Fluendo stuff), complete might also include DVD, I'm not sure. | 00:27 |
| thiebaude | savageone: who says | 00:27 |

| dr_willis | exodus_ms, Hmm.. Im out of ideas then. | 00:28 |
| evolve_ | but it seems to be, atleast for me impossible to do a USB drive install since the BIOS does not allow it, i've read articles that it is possible through GRUB, however everything seems very over my head | 00:28 |
| DIFH-iceroot | savageone: libdvdcss | 00:28 |
| Flannel | savageone: Anyway, OEM version is available on the alternate CD (Maybe the desktop CD now) as an installation option. It gives you a temporary user which you (as an OEM guy) uses to set up stuff (install packages, configure desktops, etc) however you'd like for your customers, and then when you're done, you run 'oem-config-prepare' and shut down. Next time the computer boots, it asks (the end user) for a username, password, language, etc. | 00:28 |
| sFEARs | libdvdread3 | 00:28 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sFEARs: a new one? | 00:28 |
| exodus_ms | sFEARs, I also tried to rip the disk to my hdd as an iso so I could try to play from there. dvd:rip could not read the disk as well | 00:28 |

| savageone | flannel: so is this a separate disc I'm downloading or is it an option on the one I've been using? for 8.10? | 00:29 |

| sFEARs | what error do you get exodus_ms | 00:34 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, I apologize what exactly is 'dd' ing? | 00:34 |

| fapman | Hey guys i am trying to install on a external hard drive how ever the system will not format the disk past 33% can i get some help with this issue please | 00:38 |

| dr_willis | evolve_, No. | 00:38 |
| evolve_ | is it suggested? | 00:38 |
| rww | evolve_: no, i did it with a full live cd yesterday | 00:38 |
| _rayo | fapman have you tried dban? | 00:38 |
| fapman | dban? | 00:38 |
| MementoMori | demon_: you have to install libv4l from http://ppa.launchpad.net/lool/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libv4l/ | 00:38 |
| dr_willis | superkiwi, never noticed.. depends on what codec its using i imagine. they are all containers in some form or the ohter.. | 00:38 |
| evolve_ | ok | 00:38 |
| _rayo | google it fapman | 00:39 |
| demon_ | MementoMori, ok | 00:39 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, unrecognized operand `BS'=`1024' | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | superkiwi, why do you need to convert it? | 00:39 |
| savageone | well guys I'm outta here | 00:39 |
| savageone | thanks for the info and good times | 00:39 |
| savageone | g'night | 00:39 |
| thiebaude | some people liked the amiga workstation so they can use amiwm | 00:39 |
| Xylia2 | Jordan_U: How should I download those two files? I saved them to my desktop using firefox, but that doesn't seem to do what you're expecting. | 00:39 |
| exodus_ms | rww, thanks for the link looking at it now! | 00:39 |
| Rhorse | ericjung_, try the #fluxbox channel for more info. | 00:39 |

| dr_willis | exodus_ms, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso bs=2k | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | 00:39 | |
| zsquareplusc | superkiwi: use ffmpeg, mencoder or whatever and use "copy" as audio and video codec to "convert container" only | 00:39 |

| Tablettask | hi! i tried to install 7.10 erlier today... and when i start the live cd my computer just crashes... like you pulled the power cord... do i have to start the live-cd to install ubuntu? (downloading 8.10 as we speak) | 00:39 |
| MementoMori | demon_: and then preload a lib with | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, doh.. lower case accordingto the docs :) | 00:39 |

| demon_ | MementoMori, libv4l-0_0.5.6-1~dooz1_i386.deb or libv4l-dev_0.5.6-1~dooz1_i386.deb?? | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, from what i see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) :) | 00:40 |
| _rayo | fapman yes it helps on stubborn drives | 00:40 |
| MementoMori | demon_: e.g. if you want to run skype you run | 00:40 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, ok, that worked. I had just found it as well :) | 00:40 |

| exodus_ms | dr_willis, what should I expect from the previous command? | 00:42 |
| sFEARs | Tablettask, try booting using the f4 option for safe graphics mode | 00:42 |
| zsquareplusc | Tablettask: no you dont. there is also an "install" option on the live cd. or you can use the alternate cd for a text mode installer | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms it copies the whole dvd to a single file.. you can then try to play that file.. if dd CANT read the whole disk.. then that would point to some sort of disk or drive issue | 00:42 |

| cutterjohn | Hi again guys, I've got a quick question wrt new notebook w/ 9600M GT 1680x1050 LCD res, nvidia 177 restricted driver which is only reporting the native LCD resolution to apps (well games). The xorg.conf is virtually empty. Is there a better way to add extra resolutions other than manually specifying all of the modelines and modes then adding them to the xorg.conf file? (new notebook, so I'm somewhat clueless asto the best meth | 00:44 |
| cutterjohn | od and searching forums + net is not helping out much beyond doing the adding modes manually) ddcprobe returns all resolutions through 1280x1024x24, fails querying EDID. This is a fresh ubuntu 8.10 32bit install. Would there be a better channel to equire about this on? (trivia notebook is an MSI MS-1651 or IOW a GX620) | 00:44 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, thats it | 00:44 |
| x-ip | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, that is a very very odd disk then... what movie is this? | 00:44 |
| x-ip | dr_willis: i love u | 00:44 |
| sFEARs | cutterjohn, sudo nvidia-settings | 00:44 |
| Tablettask | zsquareplusc: and sFEARs : thanks ^^ i'll look into that when i have 8.10... but it doesnt matter what distro it is... tried the openSUSE live-cd as well xD something's strange with my ram i guess | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | x-ip, dont tell my wife. :P | 00:44 |
| cutterjohn | sFEARs: first place I looked only lists native resolution of the LCD panel 1680x1050 | 00:45 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, over_the_hedge | 00:45 |
| maxbaldwin | What's a program that can crop pictures? can gimp do that? | 00:45 |
| rww | maxbaldwin: yes | 00:45 |
| maxbaldwin | k thanks rww | 00:45 |
| fapman | Can some one tell me why my disk tells me i have currupt file but works on other pc's is it because i need to burn it at a slower spped? | 00:45 |
| zsquareplusc | Tablettask: there is a ram checker on the cd :-) | 00:45 |
| cutterjohn | sFEARs: also tried all the various scaling features and still only shows/reports 1680x1050 | 00:45 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, Hmm... I MIGHT have that disk here... | 00:45 |
| demon_ | MementoMori, doesnt work a guy said that he just installed the drivers via wine and it worked so i will try that :P | 00:46 |
| rww | fapman: possibly, yes. It's also possible that your .iso file is corrupt. You can check that with checksumming. But I'd look into burning it slower first. | 00:46 |
| PsiKlopx | rww: so how should I have installed it? I've tried several different methods I found through google, this was the only one that worked. Sorry, I'm a noob. | 00:46 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, I'm going to try 'dd' ing a different disc | 00:46 |
| rww | !md5 | fapman: info on checksumming | 00:46 |
| ubottu | fapman: info on checksumming: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:46 |
| Tablettask | i know that too :P just took to long last time... gonna test it tomorrow when i'm away :P | 00:46 |
| calc | using non-native resolutions on a LCD just looks like crap | 00:46 |
| cutterjohn | it's just for games | 00:46 |
| x-ip | pip | 00:46 |
| rww | PsiKlopx: There's no official way of doing it, and the normal way of doing it unofficially (through a PPA repository) is broken right now... long story short, you don't. | 00:46 |
| chadwickofwv | does anyone have a favorite calendar program that they use for personal use | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, you are in luck.. i do have that disk. :) | 00:46 |
| calc | i tried to fix my aunt's WXP system last night but i couldn't make it go into native res (1680x1050) :\ | 00:46 |
| cutterjohn | and 1680x1050n is too much for the 9600M GT and most games | 00:46 |
| DIFH-iceroot | chadwickofwv: sunbird | 00:47 |
| rww | PsiKlopx: Official line is to wait for it to get added to intrepid-backports / jaunty. | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, brb.. booting up linux to test it.. I DO think i copied it with k9copy for the kids to use in the van.. ages ago. | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, brb... | 00:47 |
| cutterjohn | also some games don't know how to use higher resolutions and just fail to run as the driver will NOT switch to a lower res | 00:47 |
| rww | PsiKlopx: Most of the other ways of doing it you'll find online will cause problems either now or down the road when OO3 hits the repositories. | 00:47 |
| cutterjohn | e.g. Eschalon Book I | 00:47 |
| x-ip | stop | 00:47 |
| * calc *coughs* about OO3 (he is the maintainer) | 00:47 | |
| x-ip | Echelon book I | 00:48 |
| cutterjohn | windowed mode works | 00:48 |
| x-ip | :P | 00:48 |
| calc | i had uploaded a new version earlier this past week but it seemed to blow up so i removed it from the ppa | 00:48 |
| calc | i'll try to get something working early next week | 00:48 |
| PsiKlopx | rww: so anyway to undo what I've done? | 00:48 |
| * calc is on vacation all this week | 00:48 | |
| x-ip | what u done PsiKlopx ? | 00:48 |
| Emphastala | does nautilus keep a cache of networked computers? I just switched change the NIC my windows computer is on... and now nautilus cannot browse its shares | 00:48 |
| rww | calc: awesome :) | 00:48 |
| PsiKlopx | x-ip: installed ooo 3.0 | 00:48 |
| x-ip | PsiKlopx: basically do : (what u done)^-1 ? | 00:48 |
| x-ip | whats the problem with that PsiKlopx ? | 00:49 |
| calc | i'm not sure why it broke with the update i did, so i will have to test it until it starts working, also 3.0.1 is due out early next week as well | 00:49 |

| x-ip | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: what do u mean by 'fix core behaivour' ? | 00:54 |
| x-ip | cfq ? | 00:55 |
| x-ip | isnt | 00:55 |
| x-ip | :) | 00:55 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: do you know what cfq and deadline are? | 00:55 |
| x-ip | u have tools that make it easy | 00:55 |
| x-ip | see shorewall for example | 00:55 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, over_the_hedge didnt display any input/output errors | 00:55 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: do you know what cfq and deadline are? | 00:55 |
| x-ip | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: maybe i know ;) | 00:55 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: say it | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, look on the disk if it mounts.. see what files are tehre.. i see some executable files.. and a 'neroerror.txt' file :) on the comercial dvd.. thats amuseing | 00:55 |
| x-ip | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: what do u want me to say ? | 00:55 |
| cutterjohn | OOC does anyone here with a notebook get a complete list of possible screen resolutions? or do you only get the native LCD resolution? (regardless of GPU) | 00:55 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: there are core component of linux so you must know that to say that windows is slower | 00:56 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: what is cfq and deadline? | 00:56 |

| alex__ | Hey, I have a problem. I have a browser that I want to start at startup, and make full screen, but I have no idea how to do so | 00:56 |
| sFEARs | cutterjohn, if i use nvidia-settings i get a full list of resolutions available | 00:56 |
| Flannel | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: You can use CFQ by setting it in your kernel params. elevator=CFQ | 00:56 |
| alex__ | Can any one help? | 00:56 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | Flannel: im aware, besides cfq is the default | 00:56 |
| x-ip | deadline for me is 'time less to finish something' and cbq is an algorithm to route and manage packets at low level interface by netfilter | 00:56 |
| cutterjohn | sFEARs, er no it doesn't I tried that first... it DOES onmy desktop, but NOT on this notebook | 00:56 |
| rww | !autostart | alex__: add the browser to this | 00:57 |
| ubottu | alex__: add the browser to this: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 00:57 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: no | 00:57 |
| x-ip | what they have in common FSCK_FSCK_FSCK ? | 00:57 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: you have no idea what youre talking about | 00:57 |
| rww | alex__: as for fullscreen, if you're using firefox I know there are kiosk addons that'll do that | 00:57 |
| x-ip | ou ... sorry | 00:57 |
| cutterjohn | sFEARs, it ONLY lists native LCD resolution | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, AHA - dd gives me the exact same 1.4mb you mentioned.. This is.. interesting.. | 00:57 |
| x-ip | maybe u can explain all of us what they are FSCK_FSCK_FSCK ;) | 00:57 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, yeah I see the neroerror.text and the shellexec.exe | 00:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: i/o scheduler, core kernel component | 00:58 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, however i was able to 'copy' the thing with k9copy - im pretty sure... I made a copy for the van | 00:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: ubuntu cant handle its default scheduler, cfq | 00:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: so it lags on big file copies | 00:58 |
| mslot | Hello, isnt there a sort of "quickstart" program for quick locating and start program in 8.04? | 00:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: windows doesnt have that issue | 00:58 |
| macjason0607 | rww, they told me what i needed but they never answered the question on how to get the apps out of my gnome menu | 00:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: so obviously windows is faster | 00:58 |
| cutterjohn | sFEARs, it SHOULD list ALL resolutions at least to 1680x1050, but for some reason it isn't | 00:58 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, I'm going to try k9copy brb | 00:58 |
| Flannel | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: Did you have a support question? Discussion about Ubuntu belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:59 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | x-ip: how am i supposed to take seriously an os that cant handle its on i/o scheduler | 00:59 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | Flannel: im answering his questions | 00:59 |
| rww | mslot: gnome-do, maybe? I'm not sure what you mean. | 00:59 |
| alex__ | Hey, I am still confused. I am using a costome built version of Webkit, and that does the trick except that now I need to package it | 00:59 |
| mslot | rww, yeah!! | 00:59 |
| draco1234 | mslot, you mean like a text box that autocompletes? | 01:00 |
| x-ip | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: lets talk about that in private ;) | 01:00 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, tried k9copy recieved a message 'can't open disc '/dev/scd01/' | 01:00 |
| cutterjohn | sFEARs, even tried a q&d halfway job of adding resolutions which hopeless confused the nvidia driver, so I opted to check here before venturing into xorg.conf hell | 01:00 |
| alex__ | I am making a custome distrobution as follows. I need Ubuntu server with Basic gnome installed. At start up I need it to autolog in and start a full screen web browser I wrote | 01:00 |
| cutterjohn | er +ly | 01:00 |
| mslot | draco1234: gnome-do will do ;P | 01:00 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, well its playint here in mplayer and vlc, but dd dont like it.. and the .vob files are all very small. I wonder if its doing some sort of multi-session trick | 01:01 |
| Flannel | alex__: You can configure GDM to automatically log in a user, and you can use gnome sessions to start the browser | 01:01 |
| === u is now known as Guest65443 | ||
| cutterjohn | sFEARs, any idea if the xorg.conf file is also supposed to be pretty empty on a clean install? my desktop has cruft builtup from 6.06 and earlier so it's not A GOOD COMPARISON | 01:01 |
| === Guest65443 is now known as Guest6 | ||
| Flannel | cutterjohn: It is supposed to be pretty empty, yes. | 01:02 |
| sFEARs | yes cutterjohn.. i don't think you need the info in xorg like it used to | 01:02 |
| cutterjohn | Flannel, so the dri and all the other options are supposed to auto-detect now? | 01:02 |
| Flannel | cutterjohn: Yeah | 01:02 |
| PsiKlopx | x-ip: I actually came in because desktop-integration isn't working for me. I can't get the apps on the menu. rww said doing it the way I did was a no-no, basically. | 01:03 |
| Sierradump | is there a putty program (telnet/ssh) in linux | 01:03 |
| sFEARs | cutterjohn, if the info is in the xorg file it will be used.. but if it's not there it can pull it from other places, i'm just not sure what the other places are | 01:03 |
| rww | cutterjohn: default xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77907/ | 01:03 |
| nickgarvey | Sierradump: yes, it's call "ssh" | 01:03 |
| cutterjohn | Flannel, the screen resolutions too or is that GPU driver dependent? | 01:03 |
| nickgarvey | Sierradump: called* | 01:03 |
| Flannel | cutterjohn: I'm not sure | 01:03 |
| Sierradump | thanks! | 01:03 |
| rww | cutterjohn: (from my newly installed intrepid; first time I'd opened xorg.conf...) | 01:03 |
| nickgarvey | Sierradump: open a terminal and type "ssh host" | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | Sierradump, you can ssh from any terminal. there is a 'putty' program thats identical to pyutty for windows.. (ick) :) | 01:03 |
| alex__ | Ok, so how do you get it to auto log in if I am using reconstructor to build my distrobution | 01:03 |
| alex__ | ? | 01:03 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, tried vlc and pointed it to VTS_01_VOB still nothing | 01:03 |
| Flannel | alex__: Its a GDM configuration option. | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, gmplayer and 'open' disk worked.. trying k9copy now | 01:04 |
| rww | alex__: System -> Administration -> Login Window -> Security -> Enable Automatic Logon is the normal way to do it in Ubuntu. I don't know what reconstructor is =/ | 01:04 |
| Sierradump | what if I need to go in port 23? | 01:04 |
| cutterjohn | rww: yep, thats about what I have, but with the nVidia changes, device and driver | 01:05 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, try playing title 13 if you can. :) thats the main movie.. according to k9copy.. | 01:06 |
| cutterjohn | Flannel, rww, sFEARs: well, thanks for the info. I think that I'm going to try the other slightly older nvidia driver int he repos, 173(1?) and see if it's a 177 bug maybe | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, oope.. title 16 i mean | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, k9copy is working here also. | 01:07 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, tried 16_0 and 16_1 with vlc nothing playing :( | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, check 'dmeg' for any error messages perhaps? | 01:08 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, again I apologize... | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, 'dmesg' command in a terminal | 01:08 |
| Bern684 | hi I have a question, I am new to linux and am having problems getting my wireless connection working on the acer aspire one, have just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 can anyone help? | 01:09 |
| Schuenemann | hey, how do I download a package I already have installed? I want the .deb for a different computer. apt-get install -d package isn't downloading, it says I already have the most recent version | 01:09 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, a lot of text anything in particular I should look for? | 01:09 |
| rww | Schuenemann: go to packages.ubuntu.com and download it from there | 01:10 |
| Schuenemann | rww, is that the only way? | 01:10 |
| rww | Schuenemann: no, but it's usually the easiest | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | Bern684, i saw some large threads/forums onm that machine and ubuntu the other day.. aparently the drivers are not all very good for it yet. You may want to see if theres more info on t he forums | 01:10 |
| rww | !aptoncd | Schuenemann: you could also try this: | 01:10 |
| ubottu | Schuenemann: you could also try this:: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 01:10 |
| Schuenemann | rww, would that help me right now? | 01:11 |
| Bern684 | dr_willis any particular forum that gives the simplest info for the simplest of tired laymen? | 01:12 |
| Mal3ko | how do i list all user accs in my ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| jordan_ | what is the regexp for matching a money such as $1,123.99 | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | exodus_ms, as you try to rip the disk or put it int he drive.. check dmesg a few secs later.. and every few sec. and see if any error messages appear at the bottom of the log. | 01:12 |
| Schuenemann | rww, I located the package there. It has dependencies that have dependencies... | 01:12 |
| x-ip | PsiKlopx: sorry, i would run the openoffice in the shell to see what happens, but dont understand exactly what is ur problem | 01:12 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, this was at the very end [ 9404.288611] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2818439 | 01:12 |
| exodus_ms | [ 9404.492721] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 11273756 [ 9404.692968] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 11273756 | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | Bern684, not really. i was xmas shopping and saw the threads.. Looks like the thing isent quite 100% in ubuntu yet.. | 01:12 |
| b0lland | hi #ubuntu, can anyone recommend command line software that can add text overlay to MPEG video? I'd like to make some batch overlay-stuff | 01:13 |
| Bern684 | dr_willis ok tks | 01:13 |
| alex__ | I have an Accer as well with Kubuntu and can't get the wireless going either | 01:13 |
| alex__ | Acer | 01:13 |
| SuperGeek | If I allow an application access to my keyring always, how can I revoke that permanent permission? | 01:13 |
| jordan_ | is there a simple regexp to match money? | 01:14 |
| Schuenemann | rww, aptoncd only shows the packages in my archive directory. If they were there, I would copy them myself :-/ | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | jordan_, proberly is.. i recall there being several 'regular expression' examples web pages a few months ago when i needed some for specific tasks | 01:15 |
| Schuenemann | Hey, how can I download a package (with dependencies) for one I already have installed? | 01:15 |
| gnutron | \grep '[0-9]\{3\}-[0-9]\{4\}' members.txt | 01:16 |
| cutterjohn | Flannel, rww, sFEARs: actually before doing anything drastic I decided to er *cough* read the X log, and yes I can see that the input methods are from hald now, all the optional modules were selected to load, other options formerly manually specified auto-load, but resolution was from nvidia-auto-selector with a line about no other validated modes available, so it looks like manual specifying for me again first before new driver ( | 01:16 |
| cutterjohn | either of which will be horrendous, but playing with modelines and modes FAR easier to me at least) | 01:16 |
| gnutron | whoops | 01:16 |
| PsiKlopx | x-ip: I can run openoffice in the shell with no problem. just trying to get it on the applications menu. | 01:16 |
| x-ip | ou | 01:16 |
| x-ip | PsiKlopx: u tryed gconf ? | 01:17 |
| x-ip | really i'm not good fixing that kind of problems :S | 01:17 |
| PsiKlopx | sorry, I'm a noob | 01:17 |

| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | how do i enable filesystems | 01:17 |
| ChamPro | how does one get MP3 ripping in Intrepid with Sound Juicer or Banshee? gstreamer0.8-lame is no longer in the repositories. | 01:17 |
| nickgarvey | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: could you reword please? | 01:18 |
| cutterjohn | (nVidia drivers seem to be slipping slightly off the throne from my view ATM, but can't compare to an ATI directly) | 01:18 |
| jordan_ | to match money what do you thing? \$(\d{1,3},?)+\.\d{2} | 01:18 |
| ChamPro | JBrown: Intel has the best open source drivers right now | 01:18 |
| RAdams | by miles | 01:19 |
| x-ip | at all lvles ChamPro ? | 01:19 |
| RAdams | Where do the gtk themes live? | 01:19 |
| cutterjohn | JBrown: you do NOT want OSS drivers for ATI or nVidia, the OSS one both SUCK ALOT... to put it mildly | 01:19 |
| unimatrix | ChamPro: and yet they are broken on my laptop | 01:19 |
| x-ip | i know that video chipsets works well .. .thats my question ChamPro | 01:19 |
| RAdams | I need to delete a GTK theme that won't delete from the GUI | 01:19 |
| exodus_ms | dr_willis, I got to go. Thanks for all your help! | 01:19 |
| mneptok | RAdams: ~/.themes | 01:19 |
| ChamPro | cutterjohn: I'm using the open source DRI drivers for my ATI since they're no longer supported by fglrx. They work well | 01:20 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | i want files organized like | 01:20 |
| cutterjohn | JBrown: well they're ok for 2d | 01:20 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | fast | 01:20 |
| RAdams | cutterjohn: JBrown: NV, the open nvidia driver is fine, so long as you don't need 3d acceleration | 01:20 |
| ART | ls | 01:20 |
| ART | hello | 01:20 |
| RAdams | !hello | art | 01:20 |
| ubottu | art: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:20 |
| RAdams | mneptok: thanks | 01:20 |
| ART | thanks | 01:20 |
| cutterjohn | Radams: see above, but its kind of pointless to have a recent ATI/nVidia w/o 3D... | 01:20 |
| unimatrix | ChamPro: Intel drivers suck, they are broken in Intrepid for GM965... really low performance | 01:20 |
| ART | i am using ubuntu8.10 | 01:21 |
| RAdams | cutterjohn: depends on what you use the machine for, and which values are more important to you. but you and I think alike; I need my 3d acceleration :) | 01:21 |
| cutterjohn | RAdams: may as well get something much cheaper if you only need 2D | 01:21 |
| SuperGeek | If I allow an application access to my keyring always, how can I revoke that permanent permission? | 01:21 |
| Mal3ko | guys, how do i list all user accs in ubuntu? | 01:21 |
| SuperGeek | Mal3ko, cat /etc/passwd | 01:21 |
| cutterjohn | RAdams: me too, which is why I stay FAR away from the OSS ATI/nidia drivers | 01:21 |
| x-ip | Mal3ko: what do u mean ? | 01:21 |
| x-ip | acces in which service ? | 01:21 |
| sethosayher | hey guys | 01:22 |
| RAdams | SuperGeek: encryption and keyrings under system/preferences | 01:22 |
| RAdams | he means accounts, and SuperGeek is right | 01:22 |
| SuperGeek | RAdams, I can revoke those permissions from there? | 01:22 |
| cutterjohn | <--- running along for ill-fated manual resolution mode configuration... at least I don't have to bootstrap gcc then compile X11... | 01:23 |
| RAdams | SuperGeek: yes, iirc. if you don't see it there try system --> admin --> authorizations | 01:23 |
| sethosayher | I was just wonder, what IRC clients do you guys use? | 01:23 |
| sethosayher | **wondering? | 01:23 |
| SuperGeek | Thanks RAdams | 01:23 |
| RAdams | np | 01:23 |
| LjL | !poll | sethosayher | 01:23 |
| ubottu | sethosayher: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:23 |
| RAdams | sethosayher: if you'd like a list of irc clients available, search "irc client" in synaptic | 01:24 |
| hocmin | Every now and then when I apply an update to Ubuntu, my wacom tablet stops working. Does anyone have any idea why? | 01:24 |
| RAdams | hocmin: probably the xorg.conf changing | 01:24 |
| RAdams | hocmin: compare an xorg.conf before and after it stops working -- back up xorg.conf before an update | 01:24 |
| JBrown | cutterjohn: I'm using the ATI version and I'm surprised they'd release suck a crappy driver.. ?!?! | 01:25 |
| RAdams | JBrown: ati has been releasing garbage linux drivers for ages | 01:25 |
| linxeh | RAdams: ATI has been releasing garbage drivers for ages, period | 01:26 |

| RAdams | empty, as in nothing there at all? | 01:27 |
| JBrown | Is there a way to size screens in X by using the keyboard? | 01:28 |
| SunnyDrake | i deleted old and booted again.. and no messages or dmesg file not created :( | 01:28 |
| crism | @JBrown: Depends on the window manager. | 01:28 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: yeah that's it, where the stored passwords are, what kitche said | 01:28 |
| crism | Which one are you using? | 01:28 |
| Schuenemann | how can I download a package (with dependencies) for one I already have installed? | 01:28 |
| JBrown | cris: Which one do you think is the best? | 01:28 |
| crism | I haven’t used X proper in years, sorry. I used to like fvwm. | 01:29 |
| SuperGeek | DistroJockey, hm...don't see anything about Keyring permissions there | 01:29 |
| SunnyDrake | mm where file passwords located.. i will search for a while | 01:29 |
| woody86_ | can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1600x1050)? | 01:29 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: post the output of ls /var/logs | grep -i dmesg to pastebin please, unless it returns nothing, in which case just say so | 01:29 |
| kitche | SunnyDrake: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow but if you get (none) for a hostname unless you didn't give your machine one then your system is seriously broke | 01:30 |
| DistroJockey | SuperGeek, ohh well. Worth a look. Good luck | 01:30 |
| SuperGeek | Thanks, heh | 01:30 |

| evolve_ | ok guys i've finally make some progress, i've gotten ubuntu to atleast begin to boot on my machine using a USB key and kboot_usb then it stalls and says "mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/tmp/<long hash> failed: No such device or address | 01:31 |
| evolve_ | any ideas? | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | zetheroo1, best to wait for it to get in backports I hear. | 01:31 |
| ChamPro | JBrown: the DRI drivers are slower for 3D than fglrx, but suspend and hibernate actually work (so that's nice) | 01:31 |
| zetheroo1 | dr_willis: is it there yet? | 01:31 |
| ubuntu__ | hi. my other computer won't connect to the internet (fresh ubuntu install). help? | 01:31 |
| mutk | Does someone here have a tip as to where Ubuntu development source are kept? I founf a bug in java-openjdk that seems to have been fixed so I'd like to see the source.. | 01:31 |
| alex__ | Acer | 01:32 |
| JBrown | ChamPro: Do you have any issues watching .avi's ? Or dual monitors? | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | zetheroo1, No idea.. I am not to worried about it. :P i suggest you do NOT use unoffical repositories fro it.. theres been dozens of people with big issues with OO3 affecting the whole OS by doing that | 01:32 |
| Flannel | mutk: you can grab the source with apt-get source packagename | 01:32 |

| mutk | Unfortunately I am not using Ubuntu :/ | 01:32 |
| zsquareplusc | mutk: for the current version: apt-get source package should work | 01:32 |
| stefanie | hey... when does openoffice 3 come to intrepid? | 01:32 |
| mutk | All I need is a http link if at all possible. | 01:33 |

| stefanie | any idea? | 01:33 |
| eye_pee | ubuntu__> dmesg | grep eth | 01:33 |
| Flannel | stefanie: It won't ever be in intrepid. It'll be in backports sometime soon though. | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | Flannel, and hopefully it will work. :) - from the horror stories ive heard the last few weeks.. I will stick with the older OOo for now | 01:34 |
| zsquareplusc | mutk: browse packages.ubuntu.com | 01:34 |
| ubuntu__ | did that, everything looked fine :: eye_pee | 01:34 |
| stefanie | Flannel what does backports mean? | 01:34 |
| ChamPro | JBrown: no issues watching movies of any kind and multi-monitor support is great. So if you really care most about 2d and laptop features, then the OSS drivers for ATI work better than the official fglrx | 01:34 |

| dcrews | I need help mounting and image I made with dd. The image is of a folder not a full hard drive | 01:35 |
| ubottu | Lobes06: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:35 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: you mean a partition.. mount -o loop is your friend | 01:36 |

| ubuntu__ | eye_pee: one sec, i'll will have to plug the eth cable in to check it. bb in less than a min | 01:36 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: you have lost your configuration files. unless you have backups, you're going to need to reinstall | 01:36 |
| JBrown | ChamPro: Outstanding !! You made my night :) Thanks | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | zetheroo1, i wouldent worry about it then. :) | 01:36 |
| eye_pee | ubuntu__> :-p ok. hopefully that's not the prob. | 01:36 |
| Lobes06 | Got ya! OK, I have a laptop with Windows XP and Xubuntu...what I want to do is simply replace Xubuntu with Ubuntu 8.10. Can I just run the Ubuntu installation and install over top (its on ext3) or do I need to format and/or repartition? I don't want to screw things up so that I cant get into Windows anymore. | 01:36 |
| ChamPro | RAdams: gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse are already installed | 01:36 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, when I used mount -o loop it said to specify a disk system (eg ext3) and I have not been able to find anything telling me how | 01:37 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: hm. what does file yourimagefile report? | 01:37 |
| ChamPro | JBrown: it really depends on what ATI card you have... the older cards function much better on the OSS drivers. I have a ATI Mobility 9600 Pro (M10) | 01:37 |
| Fezzler | I had to reinstall my Legacy NVIDIA Driver (100.14.19-pkg1) after the Kernel update. Is that normal? | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | Lobes06, just Install the ubuntu-desktop package.. and it will install the ubuntu desktop. :) you can then pick what one to use at the LOGIn screen | 01:37 |
| RAdams | champro: and you still can't play/encode to mp3? what messages do you get from trying to play an mp3 file in banshee? | 01:37 |
| SunnyDrake | RAdams: kitche: in kernel sounds like some mount problem as some read-only warrning i saw.. sound like mount problem... but how i lost them? i only installed a few kernel modules from official reprosry and couple ubuntu-desktop pacages? | 01:37 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, how do I get the report | 01:37 |
| eye_pee | Lobes06> you should be able to do that without any prob. make sure to select advanced (or whatever ubuntu calls it) when installing onto your media. you need to use the existing filesystem and swap partitions. | 01:38 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: just run that in a terminal. "file" identifies whats in a file | 01:38 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: can you boot in recovery mode? | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, how did you install them the first time? | 01:38 |
| Lobes06 | dr_willis and eye_pee, thank you...I'm just worried that Grub will get hosed and keep me out of booting all-together. | 01:38 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Install what, the driver? | 01:38 |
| ubuntu__ | alright eye_pee, you still here? | 01:38 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Or the kernel update? | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | Lobes06, installing ubuntu-desktop wont affect the system at all... | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, the drivers | 01:38 |
| SunnyDrake | RAdams: /root and /home look like ok yes but still (none)login: problem and read-only fs// | 01:38 |
| eye_pee | Lobes06> grub is your friend. he's smart enough to handle it. | 01:39 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: I have to install them via command line | 01:39 |
| Lobes06 | dr_willis: no, but that will keep Xubuntu on the other partition. | 01:39 |
| ubuntu__ | eye_pee: okay, back. | 01:39 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, home.img.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Thu Nov 27 08:56:37 2008, max compression | 01:39 |
| eye_pee | ubuntu__> does ifconfig show a proper eth0 entry? | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | Lobes06, Huh? You can have xubuntu and ubuntu both isntalled 'together' on the same setup. they are just different desktops mainly the core is identical. | 01:39 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: if the configuration files under /etc are gone, you're looking at a reinstall. | 01:40 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: oh, so you need to unpack it before loop mounting -> gunzip | 01:40 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Something about my older AMD CPU that only the old NVIDIA driver works with my GeForce FX5500 APG | 01:40 |
| macjason0607 | guys .. im controlling my ubuntu box via vnc .. its slow as heck .. any ideas or any apps that can help me out speed this up | 01:40 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Without it, Compiz and some other stuff that is graphic intensive don't work | 01:40 |
| [TiZ] | After having difficulties with video playback in compiz, I have decided to abandon the fglrx driver. But now, using radeon, compiz is seriously super slow! What's going on/ | 01:40 |
| fsufitch | hi. does anybody know how to configure the nvidia-settings to not use the adaptive clocking and just have my gfx card operating at full clock all the time? | 01:40 |
| SunnyDrake | btw after update 8.04 LTS - intrepid current programs which use Qt library ( krusader etc) will just eat memory .. i traced with kgdb to Qt library.. | 01:40 |
| zsquareplusc | macjason0607: use vncserver instead of sharing the current desktop | 01:40 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: With it, they fly! | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, if you used envyng, or the .run package from nvidia.com you WILL have to reinstall thenm every time theres a kernelupdate.. if you used the hardware-drivers tool.. it should automatically do the needed updates | 01:41 |
| macjason0607 | zsquareplusc, how much better ? | 01:41 |
| eye_pee | macjason0607> how fast is your internet connection? | 01:41 |
| ChamPro | RAdams: hmmm I think I got it... I had already installed the required LAME libraries, but the references used in Banshee must be in gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse | 01:41 |
| macjason0607 | eye_pee, don't kkjnow the upload speed .. my download speed is fast | 01:41 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: How do I use the hardware-drivers tool? | 01:41 |
| macjason0607 | know* | 01:41 |
| SunnyDrake | RAdams: thnx, hate i'm almost useless in linux :( | 01:41 |
| RAdams | ChamPro: ah. good to know :) | 01:41 |
| StevenX | can someone tell me how to unmount an ipod that doesn't want to amount through a GUI interface? The device is mounted to /media/iPod | 01:41 |
| Brack10 | hi | 01:41 |
| zsquareplusc | macjason0607: it does not need to read back the screen and guess whats changed. try it, its free ;-) | 01:41 |
| ubuntu__ | eye_pee: it shows eth0. but after doing "sudo dhclient eth0" and dmesg grep eth, i'm seeing: eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x7849 advertising O5el Link 0000...also... | 01:42 |
| RAdams | StevenX: sudo umount /media/iPod | 01:42 |
| Brack10 | what's better, ubuntu + KDE or Kubuntu? | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, thats the default tool in the menus and top panel when you first connect.. that | 01:42 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Also, this always kills the resolution of my Login Screen. Anyone know the file I have to edit by hand to fix login resolution. Pretty common. | 01:42 |
| RAdams | StevenX: sudo umount -f /media/iPod if necessary | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, the command line name for it is 'jockey-SOMTHING' | 01:42 |
| RAdams | !best | Brack10 | 01:42 |
| ubottu | Brack10: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:42 |
| macjason0607 | zsquareplusc, from apt-get or go find a vnc server ? | 01:43 |
| StevenX | RAdams: tried that already. says it's not mounted, but the damn thing says not to unplug. | 01:43 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: You mean Tracker? | 01:43 |
| RAdams | StevenX: have you tried restarting? | 01:43 |
| SunnyDrake | Brack10: Kubuntu shipped with many pacages oriented to KDE users so it's out of box solution | 01:43 |
| zsquareplusc | macjason0607: you can apt get it. there is vncserver vnc4server and tightvncserver that all do about the same (sligh differences in features) | 01:44 |
| StevenX | RAdams: gonna do that. thanks. | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, No.. theres a tool/menu item called Hardware-drivers, or restricted-drivers or somthing similer.. | 01:44 |
| macjason0607 | thanks | 01:44 |
| djungelkraem | can i exchange "gnome-wm" to "compiz" in sessions? (for faster logins) | 01:44 |
| DistroJockey | StevenX, maybe it's mounted somewhere else. Check by typing mount in a terminal | 01:44 |
| Brack10 | SunnyDrake, thanks | 01:44 |
| zsquareplusc | macjason0607: if you're using vnc across the internet, consider tunneling it with ssh to get encryption | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, or open a terminal and type jockey<TAB> and see | 01:44 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: I don't have it. | 01:44 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, I hate to sound dumb, but can you let me know what the command is to unpack qz compression | 01:44 |
| ubuntu__ | eye_pee: eth0 link down ..... ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready....... eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 ...........ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0 link becomes ready ..... eth0: no IPV6 routers present | 01:44 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: yes, but I don't recommend it, as that leaves you with no fallback, and it isn't particularly designed to run without gnome-wm present | 01:45 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: gunzip home.img.gz | 01:45 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Not found / jockey | 01:45 |

| ubuntu__ | eye_pee: not seeing one | 01:46 |
| Sierradump | Is ddr3 supported? | 01:46 |
| RAdams | mneptok: not so. installing ubuntu and then kubuntu-desktop would give you gnome and the associated packages and programs as well; kubuntu installer does not | 01:46 |

| macjason0607 | any ideas ? | 01:47 |
| RAdams | Sierradump: yes | 01:47 |
| SunnyDrake | mneptok: Kubuntu is (in my opinion ) ubuntu + kde +kdeapps somewhat tested solution aimed at KDE desktop users :) | 01:47 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, I think it will be close 160 gig hard drive and the zip file is 60 gigs and there is nothing else on the drive | 01:47 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Don't have it | 01:47 |

| ubuntu__ | eye_pee: ^ | 01:47 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, so there is no way to amount the compressed image? | 01:47 |

| dr_willis | !nvidia | 01:48 |

| joeb3_ | macjason0607, run vncserver from a command line to start it. | 01:48 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, well right know i have 20 - 25 sec login in intrepid | 01:48 |
| macjason0607 | i know .. i have to disable remote desktop now and see if vncserver works | 01:48 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: there are compressed loop image formats. but i dont know of one directly using gzip. and compressed images are usually not writable | 01:48 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: I struggled with NVIDIA for a year before someone he knew my older AMD cpu only worked with legacy driver | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, I imagine the nvidia docs state what chipsets need the legacy driver. ;) | 01:49 |
| Havsalt | I wan't to install ubuntu with lxde, clean.... what's the best option; install ubuntu server or xubuntu perhaps? anyone? :) | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers is where that guide says the tool is at | 01:49 |
| bitmouse | oh hey, my computer hangs when check out the network during boot up, when I am not plugged into the ethernet, any ideas? | 01:49 |
| zsquareplusc | macjason0607: vncserver runs its own screen in parallel. connect to yourmachine:1 or whatver screen number it reports when starting | 01:49 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: sounds like something else is happening there. have ou looked through dmesg? | 01:49 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, i dont know what that is | 01:49 |

| dcrews | zsquareplusc, When I built this image with dd of the corrupt home drive I followed some form posting. | 01:50 |
| bitmouse | zsquareplusc: how would I go about shortening that? | 01:50 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg | 01:50 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Yup, from LiveCD | 01:50 |
| RAdams | of course you don't.... djungelkraem, it's where bootup and certain runtime events are recorded. You can read it with the command dmesg. The files are stored in /var/logs/dmesg* | 01:50 |

| MIzuiko | Hi. I've a problem. I'm running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine Vbox, but my maxim resolution is 800x600 and I need 1280x800. How make this? | 01:51 |
| RAdams | !clone | alex_21 | 01:51 |
| ubottu | alex_21: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 01:51 |

| Byrnison | MIzuiko: Install the Vbox addons into the guest system. | 01:51 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: its good to save space. and you can backup and unpack the file directly to a partition with gzip. just mounting the image itself is not so easy | 01:51 |
| cutterjohn | well, that went over like a lead balloon, back to the switch drivers idea... | 01:51 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: post it to pastebin | 01:51 |

| MIzuiko | Byrnison I alrready install but don't resolv | 01:52 |

| dcrews | zsquareplusc, while I'm waiting for it to unzip I have a quick question about data recover. The home drive one day just up and stopped showing up. I can go in with test disk and look at the home folder and subfolders so I used dd to make an image in hopes of mounting the image and then pulling the saveable data from the image, is there another way to get the data from the home drive? | 01:53 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: But you have helped me a number of times so I know you know your stuff | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, and IF you isntall the drivers with that tool.. they shoudl NOT mess things up.. if you isntall them via the 'apt-get install nvidia-XXXXX' they should also get updated as needed.. if you use envyng, or the .run from nvidia.com they will NOT get updated. | 01:54 |
| jnw222 | try photorec if it works barely | 01:54 |
| cutterjohn | dcrews: if all else fails try putting the drive into a USB enclosure then backing up with dd or other sw as the USB enclosures generally don't do all the error checking that regular controllers do | 01:54 |
| ardchoille | A friend gave me an ipod full of music. I've never owned an ipod but Ubuntu sees it as an audio device. Is there a way to copy the music on it to my Ubuntu box? | 01:54 |
| zsquareplusc | bitmouse: it was just an idea. i'd check what the reason really is. you could remove "splash" and "quiet" from the boot options to see the messages. (type "e" in the GRUB menu) or alternatively check the output of "dmesg" for large gaps in the timestamps | 01:54 |
| MIzuiko | Byrnison | 01:54 |

| Fezzler | dr_willis: Cool. So you think I should install Jockey and reinstall the driver for future "protection"? | 01:55 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: look at lines 595-598. are you using hibernate, by any chance? | 01:55 |
| djungelkraem | SunnyDrake, it feels like an eternity | 01:55 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: if you were able to use dd and it did not complain about hard disks error its a good sign | 01:55 |
| draco1234 | Dillizar, try following this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU8GIRUd_g | 01:55 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: maybe you can fix it with fsck. | 01:56 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: sudo apt-get jockey-gtk install I suppose? | 01:56 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, hibernate? no the computer goes up from being totally turned down | 01:56 |
| djungelkraem | turned off* | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, yep | 01:56 |
| cutterjohn | dcrews: ah... no ideas, but you might want to keep it in mind and maybe find a friend to do it or them... if all else fails | 01:56 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: U da man | 01:56 |
| woody86_ | can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1600x1050)? | 01:56 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, I know there are bad sectors when I used test disk so when I ran dd I put in some command to replace errors with zeros | 01:57 |
| Dillizar | thanks draco1234 i will :) | 01:57 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: is the startup time delay you're experiencing occurring after login or before? | 01:57 |
| MIzuiko | help me please | 01:57 |
| cxo | Can you upgrade from Fedora to Ubuntu? | 01:57 |
| Dillizar | wtf draco1234 ??? | 01:57 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, during login | 01:58 |
| MIzuiko | I'm running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine Vbox, but my maxim resolution is 800x600 and I need 1280x800. How make this? | 01:58 |
| cutterjohn | (bah, thats the 2nd time Ive seen people with, appoarnetly, LCDs at non-native resolutions when all I want is to get some of those running myself... maybe trading problems is the solution :D) | 01:58 |
| LjL | cxo: no. | 01:58 |
| zsquareplusc | cxo: not directly. you have to do a new install. but you may be able to keep your /home | 01:58 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, i type my loginname and password - from there it takes 20 sec till i can use my computer - its loading everything in | 01:58 |
| LjL | cxo: they're completely different distribution, you'll need to install from scratch. | 01:58 |
| chuxxsss | preference/resolution settings | 01:58 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: Jockey ago - found the restricted driver for my wireless card but not NVIDIA | 01:58 |
| dekushrub | hey, i installed prism in firefox and it works for every website but pandora, any reason for that? | 01:58 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, I got your private message, I have spent time at the ubuntu data recover sight, I'm looking at the other sight now | 01:58 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: what's your processor/RAM/video card? Has it always been that slow for you? | 01:58 |
| cxo | LjL, annoying | 01:59 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: I don't see how jockey helps install drivers, just seems to report them | 01:59 |
| draco1234 | Dillizar, I heard it might be possible to get dragon natuarlly speaking to work | 01:59 |
| jnw222 | Is there a single command that installs all restriced drivers, and most multiverse programs (sun java, flash)? | 01:59 |
| cxo | zsquareplusc, so how does that work? Does it keep all my settings? | 01:59 |
| Fezzler | dr_willis: I may need to reboot | 01:59 |
| Dillizar | lol draco1234 | 01:59 |
| dcrews | cutterjohn, Good thinking, maybe I can talk my brother into doing it when he stops by the house | 01:59 |
| Dillizar | is there a program so i can use my computer with voice commands :) | 01:59 |
| jnw222 | Is there a single command that installs all restriced drivers, and most multiverse programs (sun java, flash)? | 01:59 |
| jnw222 | :( | 01:59 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, C2D 1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, X1950Pro - no i dont think so | 01:59 |
| RAdams | Dillizar: gnome-voice-control | 02:00 |
| evolve_ | is it possible i need to format my hard drive before i can install off a USB drive? i'm getting a mounting error | 02:00 |
| bitmouse | Could anybody recommend a Light Weight GUI app for setuping up Samba Shares? | 02:00 |
| cutterjohn | dcrews: don't do it unless everything else fails as if its mechanical damage it'll make it worse/kill the drive | 02:00 |
| zsquareplusc | cxo: most applications you run have their settings in /home and are likely to work so, yes. system settings are in /etc but i wouldn't use that directly (backup for reference only) | 02:00 |
| Flannel | jnw222: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:00 |
| jnw222 | ok | 02:00 |
| jnw222 | so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 02:01 |
| dekushrub | hey, i installed prism in firefox and it works for every website but pandora, any reason for that? | 02:01 |
| draco1234 | Dillizar, hehe sorry. if RAdams suggestion doesn't work, look into "voxforge" http://www.voxforge.org/ | 02:01 |
| DistroJockey | jnw222, yep | 02:01 |
| SunnyDrake | djungelkraem, RAdams: looks like a lot of software to bootup :) he have C2D 1.86 approx 1gb memory / ati fglx driver | 02:01 |
| thao | cdt1@yahoo.com | 02:01 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: no, if you run the live cd/installer from an usb stick it should as well ask you what you want to do with your harddrive | 02:01 |
| Fezzler | where's my xorg.conf, in etc/? | 02:01 |
| rww | Fezzler: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:01 |
| zsquareplusc | Fezzler: /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 02:01 |
| dcrews | cutterjohn, I'm pretty sure it is a mechanical issue. Good thing is that there is nothing that important in the home partition. I set this up as a fail safe for when the windoz computers get to many viruses | 02:02 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: djungelkraem: I have lower specs on this laptop and it boots much faster. Let me think for a minute djungelkraem, I'm trying to remember where a specific log is | 02:02 |
| macjason0607 | any ideas ? | 02:02 |
| macjason0607 | i want to force my screen to go to 1024x768 via the terminal | 02:02 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, ok :) im thinking of reinstalling ubuntu to see if it would make any difference :P | 02:03 |
| SunnyDrake | RAdams: XORg + KDE/gnome log? | 02:03 |
| zsquareplusc | macjason0607: xrandr is your friend | 02:03 |
| fonzarelli | macjason0607: xrandr is the program you want to use | 02:03 |
| L1NUX_14SIDE | Hello fellow linux users | 02:03 |
| jaypur | hi id like to know more about ubuntu studio... im on the site right now... | 02:03 |
| Fezzler | HMM. sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf comes up blank? | 02:03 |
| RAdams | jaypur: #ubuntu-studio | 02:03 |
| macjason0607 | lol .. terminal won't run because my reslution is so small | 02:03 |
| jaypur | RAdams, thx | 02:03 |
| zsquareplusc | Fezzler: capital X in X11 | 02:03 |
| rww | Fezzler: the X in X11 should be capitalized | 02:03 |
| Dillizar | draco1234, it works just fine thank you | 02:03 |
| L1NUX_14SIDE | I was wondering of anyone has some experience with setting up ubuntu server | 02:03 |
| Tyler | Hello, after installing Ubuntu 8.10, I noticed a slight problem, It would constantly tell me my password was incorrect when changing networking settings, among other things. | 02:04 |
| Fezzler | bingo | 02:04 |
| Tyler | L1NUX_14SIDE: I do. | 02:04 |
| SuperGeek | What controls applications' access to the gnome keyring service? | 02:04 |
| L1NUX_14SIDE | wonderful | 02:04 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, once this image is unzipped should I be able to mount it with the simple "mount -o loop /home.img /mnt | 02:04 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: yes | 02:04 |
| draco1234 | Dillizar, ah, glad I could help =) | 02:04 |
| maxbaldwin | L1NUX_14SIDE: /join #ubuntu-server | 02:04 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: try making a new user and logging in as that user | 02:04 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, ok 2 sec | 02:05 |
| RAdams | SunnyDrake: no. :) | 02:05 |
| L1NUX_14SIDE | right.. | 02:05 |
| zsquareplusc | dcrews: unless its a disk image including a partition table, then you'd need some offset magic. but guessing from the filename its just a single partition | 02:05 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, cutterjohn Thanks to both of you for your help, I'm going to come back in a bit, this operation is going to take a while | 02:05 |
| alex_21 | Is there a fron end for what is described at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization | 02:05 |
| alex_21 | 02:05 | |
| evolve_ | anyone know why i'm getting "mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/tmp/<hash> failed: no such device or address? | 02:06 |
| alex_21 | ? | 02:06 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, yes I had the home on its own partition | 02:06 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: do you run a command that produces this output? | 02:06 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, brb then - ill log into my other account to see if its any difference | 02:06 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: or within the installer? | 02:06 |
| evolve_ | well, i'm installing using kboot off of a usb stic | 02:07 |
| evolve_ | stick* | 02:07 |
| Eber | does anyone here uses GIMP?!? | 02:07 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: kboot? | 02:07 |
| evolve_ | and it gives me that when i go to boot | 02:07 |
| evolve_ | http://kboot.sourceforge.net/ | 02:07 |
| RAdams | !ask | Eber | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Eber: 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. :-) | 02:07 |
| dcrews | zsquareplusc, I found a great post that talks about offsets just in case, thanks again | 02:07 |
| alex_21 | Yes, voice is listed under Google type Linux accessibility | 02:07 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: it runs off of grub -- its the first thing which has found my USB stick | 02:08 |
| Eber | guys, I need help here... I'm comming from Photoshop and trying GIMP... I'm trying to delete some images areas but instead of it getting transparent, it gets white! how do I do to get it transparent?!? | 02:08 |
| RAdams | Eber: #gimp | 02:08 |
| fonzarelli | Eber: you have to add an alpha channel so that it has a layer of transparency | 02:08 |
| evolve_ | Eber: #gimp, but you have to set the background transparent | 02:08 |
| Eber | RAdams: i'm already there... noone answers me... | 02:08 |
| Eber | fonzarelli: uhmmm, tks! :) i'll try that out! | 02:09 |
| fonzarelli | Eber: Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel | 02:09 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, about the same time - maybe 12-15 sec instead | 02:09 |
| Eber | fonzarelli: TKS :) | 02:09 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: any ideas? | 02:09 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: and the usb stick how did you prepare that one? unetbootin, ubuntus make usb disk or manually? | 02:09 |
| Benutzername | hello, i need held. how can i send fax? | 02:09 |
| alex_21 | Dragon won't work, It is Windows based. Rather, it would be very hard | 02:10 |
| dsdeiz | hi i am setting up lamp for development. how can i change the permission of /var/www ? | 02:10 |
| SunnyDrake | Eber: hmm no probles here check if you have default white background layer :) | 02:10 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, sounds like somewhere (/etc/fstab ?) has a UUID set for /dev/sda2 but the UUID is wrong | 02:10 |
| zsquareplusc | dsdeiz: chown/chmod. but why would you want to do that? | 02:10 |
| alex_21 | Yes, there is a voice command program for Linux | 02:10 |
| Eber | fonzarelli: it worked :) tks man! | 02:11 |
| netpro25_ | 1.0.18a seems to have introduced a headphone jack bug for my Intel Hda card in my dell studio laptop, any temp fix for this? | 02:11 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: i used unetbootin | 02:11 |
| fonzarelli | Eber: welcome :) | 02:11 |
| dsdeiz | uhm, because it doesn't allow me to create files in /var/www/ | 02:11 |
| SunnyDrake | Eber: also there is a settings for "not filled areae" look like in gimp settings | 02:11 |
| Eber | SunnyDrake: fonzarelli 's tip worked for me :) Tks anyway ;) | 02:11 |
| evolve_ | DistroJockey: can i change the uuid? | 02:11 |
| Benutzername | do somone know it? | 02:11 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: hm. that should make it correct. if you had done it manually i had asked you you also copied the hidden files | 02:11 |
| dsdeiz | anyone experienced that? | 02:11 |
| netpro25_ | (headphone jack does not work at all) | 02:11 |
| dsdeiz | also found that on foums | 02:11 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, in /etc/fstab , yes | 02:11 |
| dsdeiz | would this command work? sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www | 02:12 |
| zsquareplusc | dsdeiz: the www folder belongs to www-data and that's good so | 02:12 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, or replace it with /etc/sda2 instead of the UUID | 02:12 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: can you post the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces to pastebin? | 02:12 |
| dsdeiz | ok. i'll go try the command | 02:12 |
| evolve_ | so like mount /dev/sda2 /etc/fstab | 02:12 |
| dsdeiz | thanks | 02:12 |
| zsquareplusc | dsdeiz: several options: a) put yourself in the www-data group b) make a folder/link as root that it yours | 02:12 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, unfortunately UUID's change when you change the partition table | 02:12 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, no! | 02:13 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, http://pastebin.com/d5cafcd7c | 02:13 |
| evolve_ | DistroJockey: oh =x | 02:13 |
| dsdeiz | how do i put myself in www-data group? kinda new here. sorry | 02:13 |
| Benutzername | has no one an idear? | 02:13 |
| zsquareplusc | dsdeiz: adduser user group | 02:13 |
| evolve_ | good thing i didn't type that then =] | 02:13 |
| Benutzername | please | 02:13 |
| alex_21 | Hi, can I have a front end program do what is described at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization | 02:13 |
| alex_21 | 02:13 | |
| zsquareplusc | dsdeiz: need to re login to apply that though | 02:13 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, you need to find which file the boot loader uses that might have a UUID set that is invalid | 02:13 |
| Benutzername | how can i send and receifed fax? | 02:14 |
| === pretto_ is now known as Pretto | ||
| LjL | cxo: still, carrying over your settings from /home might not be the best of ideas, because things in your GNOME desktop (if you use GNOME) will work according to your Fedora configuration... which is a good thing because you will have your stuff as you left it, but also a bad thing because any configuration that's specific to Ubuntu will not be available, and the versions of programs can be different - so you might get weird results. | 02:14 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, probably would have failed, but it didn't look good ;) | 02:14 |
| ByteJuggler | dsdeiz: like zsquareplusc says, but with "sudo" in front | 02:14 |
| evolve_ | DistroJockey: issue is, kboot is very minimal command wise... | 02:14 |
| dsdeiz | is it like this? sudo useradd -G www-data myusername? | 02:14 |
| evolve_ | i'm not really sure how i'd go about that | 02:14 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, I may be totally wrong in my guess that it is UUID related (and I know nothing about kboot) | 02:15 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: network boot :-) then you only need to load kernel+initrd and no mounting afterwards | 02:15 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: network install rather. network boot is something different | 02:15 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: i don't know what nic i have =x | 02:16 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, to me it sounds like it's trying to mount some swap space it is finding in /dev/sda2 | 02:16 |
| DistroJockey | evolve_, but as I said, just a guess | 02:16 |
| ByteJuggler | dsdeiz: no, to use that style of command it's "usermod" not "useradd" | 02:17 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: you do not need to know it as long as its supported :-) do you have easy network access, like DHCP and a router? | 02:17 |
| evolve_ | yes i do | 02:17 |
| ByteJuggler | dsdeiz: useradd will add new user with specified group(s), usermod will modify an existing user | 02:18 |
| xxploit | anyone happen to know why upon loading into gnome(8.10 ibex) that the mouse cursor stays busy for so long. It seems to be related to the window manager since if you disable it upon startup the desktop loads instantly and it not busy. Ive tried replacing metacity with xfwm4 but it still remains busy. Anyone know any info on this? | 02:18 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: i don't have a working cd rom drive in the computer which is half the issue | 02:18 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: the kernel+initrn here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ run the text (alternate) installer and grabs the rest from the net | 02:18 |
| maxbaldwin | kraro, ! | 02:19 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc: i suppose i could try booting that from the USB | 02:19 |
| maxbaldwin | kraro, don't run your IRC client as root! | 02:19 |
| kraro | maxbaldwin: yo? | 02:19 |
| miyako | would anyone be able to tell me the proper way to use iptables to set up a NAT/port forwarding rule, or possibly be able to help me debug mine | 02:19 |
| kraro | arf | 02:19 |
| kraro | coming back thx | 02:19 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: actually you have to go to the subfolder to find "linux" and "initrd.gz" which you would boot | 02:19 |

| gabrielseber | can someone help me? i have a simple question about ubuntu | 02:21 |
| zsquareplusc | !ask | gabrielseber | 02:21 |

| draco1234 | gabrielseber, what is your question? | 02:21 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: does that match your symptoms? | 02:21 |
| chickengeorge3 | hello gabrielseber | 02:21 |
| qcjn | hi, | 02:21 |
| gabrielseber | i have bougth a dell vostro 1310 | 02:21 |
| gabrielseber | it has 4Gb RAM | 02:22 |
| zsquareplusc | gabrielseber: there are also ubuntu channels in other languages | 02:22 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, yes, the background pops up pretty fast but then it takes some time for the gnome panels and things like that to be visible | 02:22 |
| zsquareplusc | gabrielseber: yes, the 64 bit version will support all your ram ;-) | 02:22 |
| gabrielseber | hmm, i just have to download and install a 64-bit version? | 02:22 |
| woody86_ | Can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1680x1050)? After installing the video card driver it still doesn't show up in the "screen resolution" options. I'm running the 177.80 nvidea driver | 02:23 |
| RAdams | djungelkraem: have you tried disabling compiz and booting? | 02:23 |
| zsquareplusc | gabrielseber: depends on what you want. i have installed the 64 bit desktop from the live cd. works well for me | 02:23 |
| bitmouse | Excuse me, how do i add samba to my runlevels on a minimal ubuntu installation? | 02:23 |
| RAdams | !modelines | woody86_ | 02:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about modelines | 02:23 |
| RAdams | of course not | 02:23 |
| RAdams | where are the factoids? that one used to be there | 02:23 |
| djungelkraem | RAdams, ill do that right now :) | 02:23 |
| gabrielseber | i installed a 32bit (the one i had at that moment) | 02:24 |
| maxbaldwin | !brain } RAdams | 02:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about brain } RAdams | 02:24 |
| RAdams | woody86_: you need to add modelines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:24 |
| draco1234 | zsquareplusc, can't 32 bit systems access up to 4 gb or ram? | 02:24 |
| gabrielseber | i'm going to install the 64bit one | 02:24 |
| maxbaldwin | !brain | RAdams | 02:24 |
| ubottu | RAdams: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 02:24 |
| evolve_ | zsquareplusc and DistroJockey: just a thought i had, since this kboot is actually grub, i can enter the grub prompt and use custom commands...would that help me? | 02:24 |
| zsquareplusc | draco1234: up to about 3.5MB only | 02:24 |
| RAdams | maxbaldwin: I know. I'm saying that the factoid !modelines was there before. | 02:24 |
| RAdams | bah gtg... | 02:24 |
| woody86_ | RAdams, I tried finding the modelines thing, but the wiki page isn't there | 02:24 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: for the error you had or for the netinstall? | 02:25 |
| evolve_ | the error i had | 02:25 |
| zsquareplusc | evolve_: dunno | 02:25 |
| maxbaldwin | RAdams, oh, I thought you wanted to check for that one. Sorry! | 02:25 |

| becker` | Hi, I've installed ueagle for my usb modem. I tried "gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/ueagle-atm" and it says "could not write gedit state file..." anyone could help me about that? | 02:25 |
| SuperGeek | Does Ubuntu come with SELinux? | 02:27 |
| draco1234 | becker`, does that file exist? | 02:27 |
| rww | !selinux | SuperGeek: no | 02:28 |
| ubottu | SuperGeek: no: SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 02:28 |
| becker` | draco1234, yes I saw it in /etc but I can't get access to configure the file though I tried gksudo | 02:28 |
| SuperGeek | ah | 02:28 |
| SuperGeek | rww: is apparmor what protects the GNOME keyring? | 02:28 |
| draco1234 | becker`: what if you try "gksudo nautilus", and then navigate to the file? | 02:28 |
| mneptok | SuperGeek: no | 02:28 |
| SuperGeek | mneptok: what protects the GNOME keyring/ | 02:29 |
| SuperGeek | ? | 02:29 |
| becker` | draco1234, how could I do that? I'm very new to linux so I was just following the guide for ueagle and what it says :) | 02:29 |
| kitche | SuperGeek: Gnome protects the gnome keyring | 02:29 |

| Dillizar | draco1234, it shoes just listening its not opening any thing :D | 02:54 |

| JDStone | is there like a list of some of the apps that don't work on 64-bit? | 02:55 |
| draco1234 | Dillizar: i think that's just because it isn't very accurate. If you yell enough things at it, sooner or later it does do something | 02:55 |

| rdvon | I can't my joypad to work, the d-pad or sticks aren't recognized in the game but the buttons work fine | 02:56 |

| rww | draco1234: I guess that's an improvement on the classic "kick it enough times and it'll start working again" troubleshooting step... | 02:56 |
| draco1234 | Dillizar, for example, I just yelled "file file file run run file file", and then IRC said, "are you sure you want to quit?" .... so it does do something..... just not what I want | 02:57 |

| joeb3_ | wereHamster, I don't know of anyother way. | 03:01 |

| PsiKlopx | mneptok: at what point and where would I put log in info. | 03:03 |
| wereHamster | alright, so what do you recommend? sendmail or postfix? | 03:03 |

| draco1234 | Dillizar, One command that always works is "minimize the window" | 03:05 |

| mneptok | PsiKlopx: np np | 03:05 |
| rww | DarkKnight: if that doesn't automatically install mysql, also do sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 03:05 |

| sqrtof-1 | for your purposes. | 03:06 |
| tech0007 | any suggestion for a good video/movie album app? | 03:06 |
| quagga | DarkKnight: its not a matter of what is best; it is what your software requires. unfortunately that is usually mysql | 03:06 |
| mikere | DarkKnight: if you are constructing a web site on your own server, then you will need apache (or another web server) and php (probably php5) | 03:06 |
| DarkKnight | mikere; okk....so its drupal, php5 and Apache2..i suppose | 03:07 |
| DarkKnight | that i have 2 install | 03:07 |
| rww | DarkKnight: the drupal5 package requries mysql-client and recommends mysql-server. It also requires all the php and apache stuff... so just install drupal5 and the other stuff will get pulled in automagically. | 03:07 |
| wereHamster | what's the commandline to reconfigure a package? | 03:07 |
| rww | DarkKnight: so as I said above, sudo apt-get install drupal5 | 03:07 |
| ziroday | wereHamster: sudo dpkg-reconfigure <packagename> | 03:08 |
| CrypticSwarm | quagga: could go with postgres | 03:08 |
| quagga | CrypticSwarm: ah, i didn't know drupal would take that. everything always seemed to insist on mysql | 03:08 |
| quagga | i ended up finding a solution that didn't require a database to avoid it | 03:09 |
| mikere | DarkKnight: just start with what rww said - then if it doesn't get everything, install the missing ones and it should be gtg. | 03:09 |
| DarkKnight | rww; ya i have typed in the command | 03:09 |
| DarkKnight | mikere; ya i have started the installation | 03:09 |

| [TiZ] | Hey, I've had a certain problem with usplash since hardy... It's always drawing artifacts whenever I start up or shut down. Like, pieces of the progress bar appearing above or below it. Can that be fixed? | 03:21 |
| glusce | yes, but i think that my sources.list is too old !!!! Can i update thet ? | 03:22 |
| qcjn | i don't know but someone propose to do uptime & vmstat 1 that i've done i could paste the result | 03:22 |
| gnutron | qcjn: you need to port forward your wan address to your lan machine. or filter NAT | 03:22 |
| qcjn | zsquareplusc: | 03:22 |
| rsquare | [TiZ]: I had that exact same problem. There are several bug reports on Launchpad about that. | 03:22 |
| Flannel | glusce: pastebin it, and we'll take a look. | 03:22 |
| mneptok | [TiZ]: sure, take "splash" out of the kernel boot parameters ;) | 03:22 |
| Flannel | !paste | glusce | 03:22 |
| ubottu | glusce: 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) | 03:22 |
| [TiZ] | mneptok: Haha, very funny. ;) | 03:23 |
| gnutron | qcjn: your i-net address is responding just fine. | 03:23 |
| [TiZ] | rsquare: had? Did you get it fixed? Or did you just turn it off? | 03:23 |
| zsquareplusc | qcjn: or do "w" and paste the "load average" numbers here (one line) | 03:23 |
| JmCourir | Any of you have installed SongBird on Ubuntu 64Bit 8.10 ? | 03:23 |

| newbnewb | I've screwed up my theme (font, buttons, et cetera)... is there an easy way to fix this, or at least an easy gui to use that can fix all of this I need to apt-get? Theme are apparently not the easiest to install here. I am a new ubuntu user. | 03:26 |
| che | hi jmcourir | 03:26 |

| enovativ | the "sudo chmod 666 /dev/boxdrv " did not work | 03:27 |
| DistroJockey | newbnewb, change to a different theme using System - Preferences - Appearance | 03:27 |

| droopsta915 | I'm in the menu.lst. I only want two kernels-Should I change the howmany=2, then delete the third kernel? | 03:28 |
| myr | dnyy, you can get it back by alt+F2 then enter gnome-panel | 03:29 |
| newbnewb | Does not seem to change my fonts back to a regular color (as well as my background underneath text. I can probably get used to this theme. :) | 03:29 |
| newbnewb | At least untill another theme manager comes out. | 03:29 |
| tech0007 | Crewsr3: use ccd2iso to convert it to iso, then mount it as usual | 03:29 |
| zsquareplusc | tech0007: its a image of a partition | 03:29 |
| Lokin | how do I disconnect the last user conected to my server?? | 03:29 |
| mae | I'm very confused about how I set up my ubuntu. I have dual-boot with vista and i have been trying to install WoW. I got the message I needed more disk space, I know I have plenty space. So I reseached a bit and decided to look at my ubuntu partition... only i don't have one, just C: and HP recovery... I'm confused and do not know what to do? | 03:29 |
| DistroJockey | droopsta915, comment out the title you don't want and the lines grouped with it using # | 03:30 |
| tech0007 | Crewsr3: ignore me | 03:30 |
| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: "file /share/homebkup/home.img" prints? | 03:30 |
| Emphastala | probably a silly question but is there an audio equalizer for ubuntu ? | 03:30 |
| joeb3_ | Lokin, how is the user connected? telnet/ssh? | 03:30 |
| BZWingZero | mae: did you install ubuntu through windows (using wubi)? | 03:30 |
| dewente | How can I see the desktop GUI of my server trough vncviewer or browser ? | 03:31 |
| legions | hello | 03:31 |
| dewente | remote connexion | 03:31 |
| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77926/ | 03:31 |
| DistroJockey | fapmaster, are you sure it is freezing? Formatting can take quite a while on a large drive | 03:31 |
| L1NUX_1NS1DE | dewente, yes you can | 03:31 |
| mae | I just installed with the live cd.. popped it in and hit the second option which I think was installing inside vista... but i have dual boot | 03:31 |
| L1NUX_1NS1DE | use vnc | 03:31 |
| dewente | i am using it | 03:31 |
| dewente | but just i can see the terminal only | 03:31 |
| L1NUX_1NS1DE | yeah you have to configure vnc to allow the desktop to be forwarded through vnc | 03:32 |
| BZWingZero | mae: did you boot to the live CD or did you put it in while in Windows? | 03:32 |
| topls64 | why does ubuntu suck so much. my amiga rox! | 03:32 |
| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: ok, then add a -t ext3 to the mount line | 03:32 |
| Flannel | glusce: Alright, what version of Ubuntu are you on now? Breezy still? | 03:32 |
| dewente | give me an example | 03:32 |
| histo | dewente, does you server have a GUI installed? | 03:32 |
| mae | I put it in while in windows vista | 03:32 |
| dewente | histo, yes | 03:32 |
| glusce | 5.10 | 03:33 |
| L1NUX_1NS1DE | do some google searches on vnc and getting a full desktop | 03:33 |
| Flannel | glusce: you can find out with `lsb_release -a` | 03:33 |
| histo | dewente, go on your server and share the desktop | 03:33 |
| fapmaster | DistroJockey, Iv let it sit for 5 to 10 mins | 03:33 |
| rww | mae: then you're running wubi | 03:33 |
| topls64 | how do i compile in vista support | 03:33 |
| dewente | histo, ? | 03:33 |
| DistroJockey | fapmaster, may not be long enough. How big is the drive? | 03:33 |
| Flannel | glusce: alright. Breezy hasn't been supported for a while now. You should upgrade (obviously). Once you upgrade to 6.06, you can upgrade straight to 8.04. | 03:33 |
| histo | dewente, Ssytem > Preferences > Remote Desktop. That will start vnc server with default port of 5900 | 03:33 |
| fapmaster | DistroJockey, 5 to 10 mins on 33% on a 120 gb external hd | 03:33 |
| mae | okay.. I did not know that. but since i on;y have one partition, why does the WoW installer say I do not have enough disk space.. I have 47% empty | 03:33 |
| topls64 | LISTEN TO ME !!!!!!!! LQQK | 03:33 |
| BZWingZero | mae: You must not have made the linux partition big enough for WoW to be installed on it as well. | 03:33 |
| BZWingZero | mae: are you trying to install WoW in linux or windows? | 03:34 |
| histo | dewente, on the client box just open up Applications > Internet > remote Desktop viewer and connect to your server. | 03:34 |
| L1NUX_1NS1DE | I have a server running webmin and for some reason I am not a abe to ping it's static ip adress from a client computer | 03:34 |
| mae | linux | 03:34 |
| mae | I have it installed on windows | 03:34 |
| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77928/ am I typing it wrong | 03:34 |
| __mikem | topls64, what does it mean to "compile in vista support" | 03:34 |
| topls64 | linus is a homo | 03:34 |
| DistroJockey | fapmaster, which part does it say it's doing when it stops? | 03:34 |
| Flannel | topls64: Please stop | 03:34 |
| rww | mae: because it's not calculating free space on your Windows partition. It's calculating free space on the virtual linux partition-in-a-file you made with wubi, which is probably too small. | 03:34 |
| topls64 | i want to run vista under ubuntu so it runs better | 03:34 |
| DistroJockey | fapmaster, does your external drive have a read/write indicator light? | 03:34 |
| jerrylicious | Hey guys I need some help, I just installed ubuntu on Windows and when I load windows from grub, I get this :A disk read error occured. Please restart. Can anyone help?? | 03:34 |
| histo | topls64, use virtualbox | 03:34 |
| histo | topls64, or vmware | 03:35 |
| __mikem | topls64, okay, go out and download virtualbox | 03:35 |
| topls64 | oh | 03:35 |
| dewente | histo, do you know any command line for do it ? | 03:35 |
| __mikem | histo, virtual box will work better for his needs | 03:35 |
| topls64 | virtual box, like a pussy in a porno? | 03:35 |
| fapmaster | DistroJockey, can we take this into another room to escape the spam and yes it has an indacater light | 03:35 |
| histo | __mikem, both accomplish the same thing | 03:35 |
| mae | okay, that makes sense... I have looked into resizing, ownloaded gparted, but i do not have a seperate ubuntu partition... just my c: and hp backup | 03:35 |
| glusce | I HAVE TRIED THAT BUT IT CAN'T BE UPGRADE .... I'ts too old :))) I'm downloading now 8.10 so that's it thanks ffor the time ... | 03:35 |

| DistroJockey | fapmaster, sure join #fapmaster | 03:35 |
| histo | dewente, You don't have GUi access to the server locally? | 03:35 |
| rww | mae: therefore, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I resize the virtual disks? | 03:35 |

| mae | *virtual hug* | 03:36 |
| glusce | from 5.10 to 8.10 | 03:36 |
| glusce | yes | 03:36 |
| Flannel | glusce: No, from 5.10 to 6.06, and then from 6.06 to 8.04, and then you can upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 if you'd like. | 03:36 |
| === Caveman is now known as Guest33633 | ||
| histo | dewente, you also need to be logged in on the server in gnome for that to work. | 03:36 |
| dewente | histo, no | 03:37 |
| L1NUX_1NS1DE | are you upgrading a server glusce | 03:37 |
| myr | I'd stick with 8.04 | 03:37 |
| __mikem | Flannel, I don't particularly like 8.10. I think 8.04 was better | 03:37 |
| rww | mae: in this case, since wine installs stuff in /home, if you use the second option in that link I gave you you're gonna wanna move /home. | 03:37 |
| histo | dewente, I have another option let me look up package names hold on. | 03:37 |

| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: and it seems that the -t should be in front of the filename an mountpoint | 03:41 |

| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, let me try that | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | EvL_Gamer, plug in card.. check dmesg command output.. SOME of those built in readers are not supported for all the media they can read. what kind of card are you trying to access? | 03:41 |
| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, same error | 03:42 |
| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, can you make sense of the dmesg | tail output? | 03:42 |
| EvL_Gamer | the card is a sony memory stick pro. i ran that "dmesg" command, and it output a LOT heh, what should i look for? | 03:42 |

| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: it may print if the ext3 driver is unhappy or if its something else | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | EvL_Gamer, and those cards Might NOT be supported.. normally SD cards are.. and the more common ones.. I dont even have a sony card to test.. I do have a HP DV2000 laptop :) | 03:43 |
| xubuser | guys, for nfs what is the better one? nfs-kernel-server or nfs-user-server? | 03:43 |

| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, what do you mean print? | 03:44 |
| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: you still do have the original image file. then we could play around with the decompressed image and try fsck | 03:44 |

| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: print as in it wrote a message | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | EvL_Gamer, you are usiong a USB card reader? or built into laptop. the issue ive seen is with the 'built' in multi-readers.. USB ones normally always work. | 03:45 |
| quagga | xubuser: the latter. i believe it just interfaces with kernel modules already there | 03:45 |
| xubuser | quagga: ok, sounds cool. Thanks for your help. :) | 03:45 |
| === Caveman is now known as Caveman_ | ||
| dr_willis | EvL_Gamer, normally i do 'dmesg' plug in card.. wait a few secs and check 'dmesg' again.. normally some message shows up about the new card. | 03:45 |
| EvL_Gamer | dr_willis, its built in. i just noticed this though, is it meaningful? usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice | 03:45 |
| Crewsr3 | zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77934/ this is what came of the fdisk | 03:46 |
| hoohoohoo | hohoho | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | EvL_Gamer, check dmesg again.. it may have some new info after that,, | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | dmesg can be a bit.. slow.. :) | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | I dont rember how to tail dmesg output to a terminal.. | 03:46 |
| zsquareplusc | Crewsr3: why fdisk? its a partition, we already verified that with "file". so fdisk wont find a partition table. | 03:47 |

| alex__ | well on my brother netbook i had to download the driver from cvc | 04:29 |
| LF|Irssi | I want to copy a file thats in ~/downloads (its on 192.168.0.196) it needs to go to .199 (on the same network) what would be the exact ssh command for that? | 04:29 |
| __mikem | mneptok, why? | 04:29 |
| sgraham | ok have this machine has an ati radeon 9200 in it. The card has been a champ for my debian testing install. I put the ati perpritary drives on the thing. Now i go to do the same on ubuntu 8.04 and...i cant find the drivers. what gives? all the drives i find on ati's site says they do not support anything lower than 9500. | 04:30 |
| mneptok | LF|Irssi: scp ~/downloads/file.name username@192.168.0.199:~/file.name | 04:30 |
| LF|Irssi | thanks ill try it :) | 04:30 |
| glusce | I have downloaded and extracted brosero ... what now ... how to instal it .... ( I have been using ubuntu for 3 hours so far, don't lought to me ) :) | 04:30 |
| mneptok | __mikem: it implies that DeCSS is being targetted by the movie industry. it's not. it's simply *illegal* in the US. | 04:30 |
| __mikem | mneptok, technically, the mp3 gstreamer codec is illegal in the US to | 04:30 |
| mooglinux | if brasareo is not installed by default it should be in the repositories | 04:30 |
| mneptok | __mikem: "fair use" has nothing to do with libdvddcss | 04:31 |
| sgraham | I cant even tell if the thing is running in accelerated mode. I am able to use the desktop enhancements, sooo it would seem that it is working correctly. | 04:31 |
| __mikem | mneptok, perhaps we should move this conversation to PM | 04:31 |
| EMPulse | Hey guys, do I seriosuly not need an antivirus for ubuntu? | 04:31 |
| mneptok | __mikem: correct. which is why it does not ship in Ubuntu. and the reason we give is that it is illegal, not that "the mean music industry hates this WAAAA!" | 04:31 |
| mneptok | EMPulse: no | 04:31 |
| DistroJockey | glusce, what file did you download? | 04:31 |
| mooglinux | no antivuris needed. its that great! | 04:32 |
| __mikem | mneptok, oh I see | 04:32 |

| binMonkey | i just updated to 1.6.27-9 kernel and my laptop wouldn't boot. it aptitude remove --purge enough to get rid of that update? | 04:32 |
| binMonkey | *2.6.27 etc. | 04:33 |
| alex__ | hey guys some of you know the diff files inside format? | 04:33 |
| scunizi | binMonkey did you have anything special you added to the kernel line of the other kernel? | 04:33 |
| DistroJockey | glusce, your system may not have the requirements for that package | 04:34 |
| binMonkey | scunizi: you mean before the update? no. i just deleted quiet and splash from menu.lst. | 04:34 |
| glusce | waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 04:34 |
| sgraham | the big question i have is there is a line in the howto on this that says. Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager | 04:34 |
| heret1c | does anyone experience sudden unexplained amule crashes, apparently especially when comp has been idle for some time? (8.10) | 04:34 |
| sgraham | there is no drivers availabe in the drivers manager | 04:34 |
| scunizi | binMonkey: ah.. on mine I had to add pci=nomsi to get it to boot | 04:35 |
| DistroJockey | glusce, if you are running Ubuntu 5.10, it's probably better to use some terminal based program | 04:35 |
| binMonkey | scunizi: ok. what does that do? how did you know to add that? | 04:35 |
| mooglinux | glusce: there any particular reason you dont just intstall a later version of ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| DistroJockey | !iso > DistroJockey | 04:35 |
| ubottu | DistroJockey, please see my private message | 04:35 |
| glusce | i didn;t have one | 04:36 |
| scunizi | binMonkey: not sure if you'll need it.. it's just that with my motherboard (newer) the kernel has some issues.. after googling extensively I found that line to add to the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.. no idea if it will do anything for you or not. | 04:36 |
| glusce | i'm downloading 8.10 and it's in iso format , is it posible to install directly or i need to put that iso file to cd ? | 04:37 |
| [TiZ] | I just uninstalled fglrx, and compiz is running seriously slow with radeon. Before I installed fglrx, radeon ran compiz great. What do I do? | 04:37 |
| binMonkey | scunizi: ok. thanks. | 04:37 |
| [TiZ] | I went to #radeon, but they were no help at all. | 04:37 |
| scunizi | glusce: burn to a cd as slow as you can as an image.. not data | 04:37 |
| glusce | Nor suported by 5.10 ... :( hecking for BRASERO_GSTREAMER... configure: error: Package requirements | 04:37 |
| DistroJockey | glusce, it's possible (just may not be easy) | 04:37 |
| mooglinux | glusce: gotta put that to cd. there is the option of a network install, which is convieniant | 04:37 |
| alex__ | you can use a usb to install live cd and install | 04:38 |
| sgraham | tiz just curiouse what card? | 04:38 |
| [TiZ] | sgraham: Xpress 1150. | 04:38 |
| mooglinux | glusce: ive done that before on a computer that had no cd drive. lemme tell ya, getting grub onto a windows 200 computer is an adventure | 04:38 |
| sgraham | ok i have a9200 im struggling with right now..older card | 04:38 |
| glusce | :) | 04:38 |
| sgraham | however, i do have a page that talks alot about how to deal with those cards | 04:38 |

| Kadko | !ubuntu 8.10 splash screen frozen? | 04:39 |
| [TiZ] | sgraham: Did you uninstall fglrx too? My problem is a strange one. Radeon + compiz = awesome, before installing fglrx. Installed fglrx, used it for a while. Now, I uninstalled fglrx. Compiz + Radeon = fail now. It shouldn't work like that. | 04:39 |

| gluonman | Is it possible to copy a collection of folders without copying their contents? | 04:39 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: be more specific | 04:39 |
| scunizi | DistroJockey: was k3b available back then? | 04:40 |
| [TiZ] | sgraham: That page isn't going to help me. | 04:40 |
| DistroJockey | scunizi, hmm, I doubt it | 04:40 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, how is that not specific? If I have a bunch of directories (folders) with contents in them and I want to copy the folders to another location but as empty (without the contents), is it possible? | 04:40 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: ls /proc/ post the output | 04:40 |
| DistroJockey | scunizi, better to look for the terminal based stuff behind the front-ends I think | 04:40 |
| [TiZ] | sgraham: However... a page it linked to MIGHT help. | 04:41 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, what is that? | 04:41 |
| scunizi | DistroJockey: I think you're right.. | 04:41 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: open a console | 04:41 |
| arjem | hiii | 04:41 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman write ls /proc/ and tell me what it says | 04:41 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I know it's console, but what are we trying to accomplish with that command? | 04:41 |
| DistroJockey | scunizi, I've not used terminal based recording stuff. I know it's there, just not what it's called :) | 04:41 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: ls is list | 04:41 |

| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, oh, you mean replace /proc/ with my desired directory? | 04:42 |
| snirks | lol | 04:42 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: yes | 04:42 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, could have made that clear in the beginning. | 04:42 |
| F3d0rA | I have it working using ndiswrapper for now but I prefer the firmware and module method | 04:42 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman do "mv /directory/you/want/tocopy /proc/ | 04:43 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | " | 04:43 |
| mooglinux | smbclient -L is reterning NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. any ideas? | 04:43 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | without quotation marks | 04:43 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, and that will copy the directories as empty to another location? | 04:43 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | yes, then it will prompt you for the destination directory | 04:44 |
| scunizi | DistroJockey: gnomebaker is the google reference for 5.04 cd burning | 04:44 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, couldn't I just include the destination in that above command at the end? | 04:44 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | but first do sudo mv /directory/you/want/tocopy /proc/ | 04:44 |
| DistroJockey | glusce, scunizi : I think cdrecord (aka wodim) may be the one | 04:44 |
| DistroJockey | scunizi, ahh, that's good | 04:44 |
| glusce | trying | 04:44 |
| alex__ | fedora i have a bcm card too i had to add 1 repository and 2 packages to get d43 driver work | 04:45 |
| DistroJockey | glusce, you have gnomebaker ? | 04:45 |
| mooglinux | glusce: if you cant get a cd burnt, do a network install | 04:45 |
| scunizi | DistroJockey: cdrecord has been around forever. I don't know how to use it though. | 04:45 |
| alex__ | google it easy to find | 04:45 |
| DistroJockey | scunizi, yeah, that's why I thought of it. Neither do I :) | 04:45 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, just to be clear "/proc/" is the code that will tell it to copy the directories and not their contents? | 04:45 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | exactly, its the first step in copying the directories without the files contained | 04:46 |
| evolve_ | can anyone tell me how i can create a floppy disk with usb drivers so i can finally boot my USB key? | 04:46 |
| xorlim | I want to use my Windows key to open the Applications menu on Ubuntu. How? | 04:46 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, but I had asked, is it possible to declare the destination on the same line after "/proc/ "? | 04:46 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | xorlim: be more specific, which key | 04:46 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: not yet, its a multi step process | 04:46 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, alright. Thank you. | 04:46 |
| mooglinux | xorlim: the windows key is refered to as 'super'. go in under system>preferances>keyboard shortcuts, it ought to be in there | 04:47 |
| xorlim | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: left hand Meta key, with the Windows logo on it. On a "Windows" keyboard by Logitech. The key between Ctrl and Alt. | 04:47 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | xorlim: do man xorg in console, tell me what it says | 04:47 |

| rww | Shirakawasuna: There's slightly more likelyhood of data loss if you turn off the computer when it's in the middle of writing. However, since you're on an eeePC, you probably want to use ext2 anyway, to decrease writes to your SSD. | 05:06 |

| j0ey | Thank you for that. | 05:06 |

| j0ey | Well uh, there really isn't any going back now. | 05:07 |
| j0ey | After I reboot now I'm screwed. | 05:07 |
| j0ey | :| | 05:07 |
| ardchoille | Are there any ops about? (re: FSCK_FSCK_FSCK ) | 05:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | rww: right. I just wanted to make sure that removing journaling wouldn't say... throughly corrupt the FS if it filled all the way up. It's a 2G SSD, so it's likely it will eventually fill up on accident (the user won't be me) | 05:07 |

| snirks | King_Bob: be more specific | 05:12 |
| sektor1952 | evening | 05:12 |
| King_Bob | Okay , if i already have an app open ( apart from the OS ) that requires use of the sound card and then open up another application , the second application has no sound output , yet the first one does. | 05:13 |
| mooglinux | looking at the output of smbtree, the shares i want to connect to dont show up at all...not even a failed connection (http://paste.ubuntu.com/77955/) | 05:13 |
| tech | i have samsung scx4200 printer driver but how to install tar file. | 05:13 |
| fogobogo | King_Bob: there is a problem | 05:13 |
| scunizi | tech: did you get it from samsung site? then right mouse click and extract | 05:14 |
| sektor1952 | is there a way to install ubuntu via vnc session if you have a headless server? | 05:14 |
| fogobogo | King_Bob: seems like the mixer doesnt like you. | 05:14 |
| glusce_ | yeeeee download and burinig copmleted now instaling ubuntu 8.10 wish me luck | 05:14 |
| fogobogo | King_Bob: im pretty sure theres something on the forums or the wiki about that | 05:14 |
| King_Bob | so at anyone time i can only have one app open that makes use of the sound card , should i close the application to use another app the problem remains, and its doing my head in. | 05:14 |
| DistroJockey | King_Bob, try installing an using pavucontrol maybe | 05:14 |
| B|ackPanther | how do i create an interactive shell ?I want to be able to type a couple of lines in the terminal . | 05:14 |
| gpled | just upgraded to 8.10 now keyboard does not work under x. any ideas how to fix this? | 05:14 |
| King_Bob | DistroJockey , i will look into it now thanks | 05:15 |
| fogobogo | King_Bob: usually it suffices to stop sound ouput on one app and start the other one then | 05:15 |
| juice949 | gpled: what do you mean it doesnt work? describe | 05:15 |
| scriptx | gpled: try booting into singleuser (recovery) and running the x fix boot. | 05:15 |
| DistroJockey | King_Bob, no problem | 05:15 |
| King_Bob | cheers guys , i will be back shortly | 05:15 |
| scriptx | gpled: sounds like your new X config file isn't supporting your kb | 05:15 |
| juice949 | gpled: sounds like the new kb config isnt supported your X | 05:15 |
| hmw | since i activated AGP 8x and FastWrite in xorg.conf, my Radeon9600 wont let me activate dual head anymore. I cant find out, what happened to my graphics card. Is there a way to "reset" the card? | 05:16 |

| Joseph_K | How can I run Wine as root? When I try, I get the error "~/.wine is not owned by you". | 05:17 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, how about undoing the FastWrite edit you made to your xorg.conf? | 05:17 |
| scunizi | tech: you keep asking the same question but don't answer or follow instructions.. find the instructions on the samsung site. | 05:17 |
| LF|Irssi | Joseph_K: try 'sudo wine <application name>' maybe | 05:18 |
| mooglinux | tech, the driver is in the tar file. extract it | 05:18 |
| sektor1952 | what's the best method to do a headless install? | 05:18 |
| DistroJockey | Joseph_K, why do you want to run it as root? | 05:18 |
| B|ackPanther | How can i enter multiple bash lines in the terminal? I want to use that for just testing. | 05:18 |
| GodfatherofEire | Anybody know how to apply an equalizer or something similar to ALSA or ESD that's NOT jackd? | 05:18 |
| tonyyarusso | Hi, I have a mouse now with forward/back buttons, and I'd like to use them to switch workspaces. I looked at !mouse already, but a) I don't really understand it (wiki could use work), and b) it only mentions things specific to applications, like f/b in Firefox, not things in X/Gnome. ANyoen know how this could be done? | 05:18 |
| scunizi | mooglinux: been there and done that with him/her.. no answer.. no followup | 05:18 |
| hmw | DistroJockey of course i removed the entry. with that option, my pc freezed. when i now try to configure dual head, the second screen does another new annoying thing: just stays blank. looks like dualhead is working, but the graphics card has some glitch now. | 05:19 |
| Joseph_K | DistroJockey: Good question. :) I want to run a BIOS update, which I _presume_ will require root privileges. | 05:19 |
| GodfatherofEire | tonyyaruso, possibly using the config manager. | 05:19 |
| gpled | B|ackPanther: first;second; | 05:19 |
| tonyyarusso | GodfatherofEire: gconf-editor you mean? | 05:19 |
| juice949 | sektor1952: ubuntu server | 05:19 |
| GodfatherofEire | tonyyaruso, yep | 05:19 |
| DistroJockey | Joseph_K, bios update via wine. Ouch | 05:19 |
| hmw | DistroJockey new idea: i try to use the setting with "no" | 05:19 |
| B|ackPanther | thanks gpled. | 05:19 |
| rww | Joseph_K: I... kinda doubt that's gonna work even if you do get wine running under root | 05:20 |
| juice949 | gpled: you want to update what? | 05:20 |
| sektor1952 | yes juice I want to do a server install, but do not have a monitor or keyboard on the server | 05:20 |
| truthslave | i just split patitions and installed kubuntu on my hard d with ubuntu... how do i get rid of the kubuntu? | 05:20 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, twinview? | 05:20 |
| gpled | juice949: desktop manager | 05:20 |
| Justin_ | what is the meaning of Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" means in xorg.conf. My windows get no frame if I don't have it | 05:20 |
| Joseph_K | rww, DistroJockey: Well, I want to try. :) | 05:20 |
| hmw | DistroJockey ?? | 05:20 |
| juice949 | gpled: you want to update the package? | 05:20 |
| hmw | DistroJockey i had dual head already. then i just wanted more performance, bad idea. | 05:20 |
| GodfatherofEire | so, nobody knows how I might modify the output of ALSA without using jackd? | 05:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | ALSA or ESD | 05:21 |
| gpled | juice949: the gnome desktop manager | 05:21 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, what are you using for the dual monitor setup? (software wise) | 05:21 |
| hmw | DistroJockey the open source driver | 05:21 |

| mooglinux | hmw, for dual monitor the manufaterers binary would probably work better. the nvida dualhead works very well for me | 05:22 |
| truthslave | yo.. i want to just run ubuntu ,,, can i get rid of kubuntu... i have both | 05:22 |
| scunizi | hmw: sorry don't know one for that. | 05:22 |
| sektor1952 | I know with a centos boot disk I can get a vnc session to launch to connect to a listening vnc client does ubuntu have something similar? | 05:22 |

| BusterHymen | truthslave yes | 05:22 |

| gpled | ls /home shows my users | 05:22 |
| === www4chanorg is now known as moot | ||
| mooglinux | trustslave, you just have to uninstall the kubuntu-desktop package. that will get rid of kubuntu, tho there will be some leftover apps | 05:22 |
| juice949 | gpled: good that means the core system is intact | 05:23 |
| juice949 | gpled: its a precaution for the package update | 05:23 |

| truthslave | how? | 05:23 |
| Justin_ | what is the meaning of Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" in xorg.conf. My windows get no frame if I don't have it. (I have a nvidia card) | 05:23 |
| juice949 | gpled: i want to know the exact name of the file that says something like kernel or vmkernel | 05:23 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, yeah. I assume the OSS driver doesn't do dual monitor too well | 05:24 |
| mooglinux | sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop | 05:24 |
| juice949 | gpled: "ls /boot/" | 05:24 |
| scunizi | Rishab_: try http://localhost:631 and see if you can do it there. | 05:24 |
| King_Bob | no joy :( | 05:24 |
| hmw | DistroJockey negative. it worked very good before i set 8x fast write | 05:24 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, works nice for single though | 05:24 |
| BusterHymen | what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 05:24 |
| truthslave | is that a command? | 05:24 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, ohh, did you undo that change and try then also? | 05:24 |
| BusterHymen | truthslave, yes | 05:24 |
| mooglinux | yea, just enter that into the terminal | 05:24 |
| BusterHymen | it's a command | 05:24 |
| === NULL is now known as MauryPovich | ||
| mooglinux | alternatly you can use synaptic package manager and search for it | 05:25 |

| DistroJockey | hmw, what card was it again? | 05:25 |
| hmw | DistroJockey thats the point. since i tried that, it wont let me undo it really. the second screen now always stays blank. didnt ever do that before. | 05:25 |
| Rishab_ | \scunizi what that ment for ?? | 05:25 |
| hmw | DistroJockey radeon 9600 | 05:25 |
| scunizi | BusterHymen: aptitude has a menu at terminal.. both are pretty much the same at this point. In the past there were some differences as to how they handled dependencies. | 05:25 |
| === MauryPovich is now known as NULL | ||
| DistroJockey | hmw, ooo, same as mine | 05:25 |
| hmw | DistroJockey setting fastwrite "no" doesnt help | 05:25 |

| DistroJockey | hmw, you tried "disable" | 05:26 |
| j0ey | You fucker, where ever you are. | 05:26 |
| suvayu | /join #fedora | 05:26 |
| BusterHymen | GodfatherofEire: you have to be more specific. What kind of trouble are you having? | 05:26 |

| Rishab_ | getting problem while trying to add printer "The CUPS server could not be contacted." the error message comes while going to printing option in system > Administration | 05:27 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, what happens if you run it with no xorg.conf? (rename the file and make sure you know how to rename it back in a terminal) | 05:27 |
| hmw | DistroJockey i think i somehow damaged the card. but it still works with XP | 05:28 |

| Rishab_ | scunizi ??? | 05:28 |
| Justin_ | j0ey, that's terrible | 05:28 |
| hmw | DistroJockey mooglinux i really think, that the card uses some cmos | 05:28 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, or a bad driver | 05:28 |
| j0ey | I fixed it, but yeah I'm very reluctant to take advice in this channel now. | 05:29 |
| LF|Irssi | j0ey: dont let one bad apple spoil it for you man, this is normally a really good support chan :) | 05:29 |
| GodfatherofEire | BusterHymen, well, for some I get prompted for a specific kernel image, and/or asked to run commands from initramfs | 05:29 |
| BusterHymen | j0ey: yeah that sucks... most people will be glad to explain what a command does. it's always a good idea to ask =/ at least you fixed it | 05:29 |

| DistroJockey | hmw, backup your xorg.conf and try that dpkg-reconfigure mentioned at the start of the xorg.conf file | 05:29 |
| j0ey | My question was that my Radeon is using MESA OpenGL drivers. If I install fglrx my X.org goes nuts and will not run. | 05:29 |
| hmw | DistroJockey i backuped the xorg.conf, while it was working. | 05:29 |
| Anacranom | j0ey, never execute a cmd that isnt explained what it does | 05:29 |
| BusterHymen | GodfatherofEire: yikes... i don't have the slightest clue. sorry | 05:30 |
| hmw | DistroJockey it is the same as before, thats 100% affirmative | 05:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | BusterHymen, no prob. | 05:30 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, k, gotta be the driver then | 05:30 |

| j0ey | Yes I have read that. | 05:31 |
| GodfatherofEire | So, anybody have any ideas as to why when I use a USB startup disk I get prompted for a kernel image or have to run commands from a terminal where the user/whatever im recognized as is initramfs? | 05:31 |
| j0ey | In fact, doing what it says to in that guide is what crews up everything. | 05:31 |

| DistroJockey | hmw, ohh :( | 05:33 |
| tonyyarusso | With the new "Guest session" option in 8.10, what user is that defined as, and how can I edit what's allowed for it? | 05:34 |
| Takuya | grr, finally got ubuntu working but I have nvidia issues now. :/ | 05:34 |
| Senri | Has anyone here had compiz-fusion effects not work after an upgrade to 8.10? | 05:34 |
| Takuya | I NEED to use dual head because my internal monitor is busted up a bit | 05:34 |
| hmw | DistroJockey thanks for your help. i am giving up. | 05:34 |
| MFen | how do i make the horrible pidgin certificate warnings go away? | 05:34 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, np, sorry | 05:34 |
| Oneiroii | Senri: For a while, my Compiz was acting funny (parts of it were disabling themselves at random), but now everything is fine | 05:34 |
| mooglinux | Takuya, whatcha tryin to do? | 05:34 |
| Takuya | the nvidia glx drivers were working on 8.10 originally, then I just let the system upgrade, now it won't work , saying nvidia x drivers are not in use currently, and my xorg says "nvidia" is the driver. | 05:34 |
| MFen | where do i get newer certificates, and how do i let pidgin know about them? | 05:34 |
| King_Bob | Just like to say thanks for the advise , i now have my issue resolved :) | 05:34 |
| mooglinux | oh | 05:34 |
| Takuya | I just want to run the nvidia-glx drivers so that I can use dual monitors... | 05:34 |
| mooglinux | new kernal update | 05:34 |
| Senri | Oneiroii, was there anything you did to get them to work? | 05:34 |
| Takuya | yeah, the kernel updated apparently | 05:35 |
| mooglinux | just reinstall the drivers | 05:35 |
| MFen | I keep getting this: "The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin." it's driving me crazy, and google isn't helping | 05:35 |
| Takuya | well | 05:35 |
| Takuya | I did | 05:35 |
| DistroJockey | King_Bob, cool :) | 05:35 |
| Takuya | I think | 05:35 |
| Takuya | I installed the 173 version then reinstlal the 177 using apt | 05:35 |
| Oneiroii | Senri: Just updates, AFAIK - maybe the proposed and backports repos? | 05:35 |
| Takuya | *reinstalled | 05:35 |
| FloodBot1 | Takuya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:35 |
| DistroJockey | King_Bob, how? | 05:35 |
| Senri | Oneiroii, will try, thanks a lot! | 05:35 |
| Takuya | mooglinux, do I have to use apt-get uninstall or something? | 05:35 |
| mooglinux | i recommend downlaoding them from the nvidia website and installing through the terminal | 05:35 |
| bullgard4 | How can I determine the largest file on my computer? | 05:35 |

| mooglinux | you reinstall them lol. the driver has to recompile a new interface for each kernal. a new kernal breaks it | 05:36 |
| Senri | Justin_, I did, try restarting your compy. dfor me | 05:36 |
| DistroJockey | King_Bob, ahh | 05:36 |
| Takuya | also, mooglinux, I have a GeForce8600M GT and it's not showing up on nvidia's site. :p | 05:36 |
| scunizi | Rishab_: try from a terminal... sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart.. and then try again.. | 05:36 |
| Takuya | but it's supported by nvidia-glx supposedly. | 05:36 |
| Senri | justin-n_, *worked | 05:36 |

| Justin_ | Senri, excuse me compy. d? | 05:37 |
| SquareHimself | LF|Irssi: Kernel updates ARE security updates. | 05:37 |

| Senri | Justin_, computer | 05:37 |
| mooglinux | Takuya, hmm...try the ordinarry 8600 gt drivers | 05:38 |
| scunizi | Rishab_: that line was only to restart cups.. did you try to install the printer again after that? | 05:38 |
| Takuya | well I found this | 05:38 |

| MFen | aaaargh | 05:38 |
| Justin_ | Senri, so u can fix it by rebooting? | 05:38 |
| mooglinux | Takuya, thats the one you want, yea. | 05:38 |
| Rishab_ | yes again de same prob.. scunizi | 05:38 |
| DistroJockey | Takuya, looks to be your best bet | 05:38 |
| Takuya | ok | 05:38 |
| Senri | Justin_, that was all r me | 05:39 |
| Justin_ | Senri, i've tried, not work | 05:39 |
| Senri | Justin_, ah, then I do not know. Sorry | 05:39 |
| Justin_ | Senri, it's ok | 05:39 |
| scunizi | Rishab_: the remaining part of cups is a mystery to me.. you might consider reinstall it. | 05:39 |
| mooglinux | Takuya, be sure to install the driver from the terminal. | 05:40 |
| Rishab_ | but how to reinstall CUPS | 05:40 |
| mooglinux | before you can run sh NVIDIA*.run, you have to stop gdm | 05:40 |
| scunizi | mooglinux: have you tried the newer 180 driver? | 05:41 |
| mooglinux | i havent. didnt know it was out | 05:41 |
| Justin_ | mooglinux, how to stop gdm by command line | 05:41 |
| MFen | please .. anyone.. make the horrible pidgin warnings go away | 05:41 |
| Oneiroii | Anyone know if there's a channel for emulation? | 05:41 |
| Takuya | mooglinux, ok | 05:41 |
| ardchoille | justin-: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:41 |
| Oneiroii | MFen: What Pidgin warnings? | 05:41 |
| Takuya | well I'll be back and let's see what happens. | 05:41 |
| mooglinux | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:42 |
| MFen | Oneiroii: | 05:42 |
| MFen | The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin. | 05:42 |
| Takuya | ah. :) | 05:42 |
| MFen | Oneiroii: every 20 minutes on google talk | 05:42 |
| Takuya | ok brb | 05:42 |
| DistroJockey | scunizi, mooglinux : latest I can see is 177.82 | 05:42 |
| mooglinux | 180 is prolly a beta driver? | 05:42 |
| Oneiroii | MFen: ... I have no clue what you mean. I've never noticed Pidgin doing anything with certs | 05:42 |
| snirks | MFen: some claim it is to allow offline messages to be sent to you when you log on. i just reject it since im a security expert | 05:42 |
| MFen | are you running intrepid or hardy? | 05:42 |
| Justin_ | mooglinux, ardchoille , and use startx to restart? | 05:43 |
| Oneiroii | Intrepid | 05:43 |
| MFen | snirks: that doesn't make you a security expert, and it has nothing to do with offline messages. | 05:43 |
| hmw | DistroJockey can you tell me, what differenc there is, if i just restart gdm and reboot? | 05:43 |
| mooglinux | /etc/init.d/gdm start | 05:43 |
| mooglinux | startx might work too | 05:43 |
| snirks | MFen: im still a security expert, and it has to do with offline messages | 05:43 |
| GodfatherofEire | One last problem, when I go to reboot, it only reboots the xorg instead of shutting down the whole computer and booting it up again, any ideas? | 05:43 |
| Justin_ | ok, thanks :) | 05:43 |
| MFen | i already know what it is and why it's there because i asked #pidgin about it. what i don't know is how i get the stupid certificates installed on ubuntu | 05:43 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, GDM is not enough. You would need to restart the X server | 05:44 |
| MFen | snirks: if you were a security expert, you would know how to verify the certificate and accept it | 05:44 |
| hmw | DistroJockey ahaa! how would i do that? | 05:44 |
| flakeparadigm | Hello | 05:44 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, ctrl+alt+bckspace while in X | 05:44 |
| Starnestommy | MFen: try the ca-certificates package | 05:45 |
| GodfatherofEire | Any ideas why my reboots not working properly? It basically just restarts X instead of the whole computer | 05:45 |
| tech_ | joey : i tried but this error come. | 05:45 |
| Justin_ | have anyone ever got blank terminal window with the nvidia driver? how did you fix it? | 05:45 |
| j0ey | GodfatherofEire: sudo shutdown -r now | 05:45 |
| tech_ | tar -xzvf UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz | 05:45 |
| tech_ | tar: UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory | 05:45 |
| tech_ | tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now | 05:45 |
| tech_ | tar: Child returned status 2 | 05:45 |
| tech_ | tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors | 05:45 |
| FloodBot1 | tech_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:45 |
| hmw | DistroJockey hm. then my questions stands: what difference might it be, if i just killed X and reboot. i have the strong impression, that sometimes it needs to reload more than X | 05:45 |
| MFen | Starnestommy: yeah, i already have that, it's installed by default. i'm thinking about installing it from intrepid source. think that'll work? | 05:45 |
| flakeparadigm | I have a question about something very common... A broadcom wireless device. I am trying to get my laptop with a broadcom 4318 chipset to work with a WPA network. It can view the available networks, but it won't connect to the network I want it to. (wpa protected) | 05:45 |
| j0ey | tech_: You should actually just be able to double click it. | 05:45 |
| Oneiroii | MFen: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-lb/2008-August/000166.html | 05:45 |
| Starnestommy | MFen: I'm not sure | 05:46 |
| j0ey | GodfatherofEire: That'll shutdown the computer reboot it now. | 05:46 |
| j0ey | Maybe doing that one time will fix stuff since X is buggin' out. | 05:46 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, reboot should do all. But restarting GDM may not be as much as restarting X (not too sure really) | 05:46 |
| GodfatherofEire | j0ey, I'll give that a shot, how would I modify the script for the menu though? | 05:46 |
| MFen | Oneiroii: thanks, but this is not an msn problem | 05:46 |
| Oneiroii | That may not be the cert you need, but it should be the location, methinks | 05:46 |
| j0ey | GodfatherofEire: No idea how to do that man. Sorry. :x | 05:46 |
| hmw | DistroJockey interesting thing is, i had the impression, its better to gdm restart than ctrl-alt-bs | 05:47 |
| GodfatherofEire | j0ey,No problem, and thanks | 05:47 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, you may be right | 05:47 |
| DistroJockey | hmw, I rarely break my X server (not had to try ;) | 05:48 |
| Oneiroii | MFen: Can you clarify what the issue stems from, then? I'm running the current Pidgin on Intrepid now, on AIM, Y!M, FB, MSN, etc, and have never seen a request/notification about a cert | 05:48 |
| xim | any advice on how to get ubuntu to recognize and install my scanner once its plugged in USB? | 05:48 |
| MFen | Oneiroii: google talk | 05:48 |
| MFen | Oneiroii: it's the same message, different certificate | 05:48 |
| Justin_ | GodfatherofEire, have you tried sudo reboot? does it work? | 05:48 |
| j0ey | There's a reboot command? | 05:49 |
| j0ey | I've been doing it the long way the whole time? | 05:49 |
| tsrk | Why doesn't ubuntu let me chgrp directories that I own without being root? | 05:49 |
| GodfatherofEire | Justin_ I'll give that a shot too if it doesnt work | 05:49 |

| mooglinux | jed73, easiest way i can thinkof is to just pop in the cd, and manually choose which partition to use | 05:53 |

| Hatsjoe` | How do I know what the Vendor Lib of my MySQL Database is? | 06:06 |
| DistroJockey | Takuya, just rename it | 06:06 |
| Takuya | well the failsafe loads fine, but... I need my nvidia driver. :p | 06:06 |
| Oneiroii | j0ey: I wanted it, too, but I just had a nightmare trying to downgrade - OOo 3 is, apparently, broken | 06:06 |
| DistroJockey | Takuya, and reboot | 06:06 |
| joot | joshuah: Does it work for you???? | 06:06 |
| Takuya | DistroJockey: does it matter if the failsafe X works? | 06:07 |
| j0ey | Hah, thank you for the warning. | 06:07 |
| joshuah | joshuah@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install gnomebaker | 06:07 |

| joshuah | thats wat i get | 06:07 |
| LF|Irssi | your forgot sudo | 06:07 |
| DistroJockey | Takuya, xorg removed most dependancies on xorg.conf | 06:07 |
| j0ey | joshuah: Forgot sudo before it dummy. | 06:07 |
| LF|Irssi | you* | 06:07 |
| DistroJockey | Takuya, as of 8.10 | 06:07 |
| j0ey | :p | 06:07 |
| Takuya | hrmm ok. so.. that means? | 06:08 |
| Takuya | (sorry, I haven't been using linux in a while.. ) | 06:08 |
| VistaUser | anyone know a good guide to teach everything i need to know on how to work ubuntu | 06:08 |
| Oneiroii | VistaUser: Just using it :) | 06:08 |
| joshuah | joshuah@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gnomebaker | 06:08 |
| joshuah | Reading package lists... Done | 06:08 |

| FloodBot1 | joshuah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:08 |
| DistroJockey | Takuya, you should be able to boot with no xorg.conf and then install the driver again | 06:08 |
| j0ey | Takuya: Most people's xorg.conf's are actually blank. | 06:08 |
| Takuya | re-install? ack | 06:08 |
| LF|Irssi | j0ey: a good majority of apps you install will say it's removeing ubuntu-desktop, im not sure why it says that, maybe some of the pros in here can explain | 06:08 |
| j0ey | You don't need to configure it anymore, but if you have it configured, it'll use whatever you specify. | 06:08 |
| VistaUser | lol if u just use it ull learn it | 06:08 |
| joot | joshuah: You must use the command exactly sudo means you need root privilege for a while | 06:08 |
| Takuya | jeez, linux changed a lot since slackware 9 haha | 06:08 |
| Hatsjoe` | VistaUser before you start working with Linux, remove that awfull W*nd*ws crap xD | 06:08 |
| VistaUser | if so then i am on a cruddy srt | 06:08 |
| Oneiroii | Oh, wife demands time - TTYL all | 06:09 |
| joshuah | do i have too have gnomebaker downloaded before the command will work? | 06:09 |
| Takuya | ok, so remove xorg.conf, reboot? | 06:09 |
| VistaUser | i did | 06:09 |
| j0ey | LF|Irssi: Because ubuntu-desktop is a metapackages that links everything that comes with teh Ubuntu suite. | 06:09 |
| VistaUser | i had windows vista and i put ubuntu on it | 06:09 |
| j0ey | Takuya: rename it to xorg.conf.old | 06:09 |
| Hatsjoe` | VistaUser the Ubuntu Forums are good teaching guides ;) | 06:09 |
| j0ey | Then try it. | 06:09 |
| Takuya | ok, then reboot? | 06:09 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, those errors mean your repo doesn't have gnomebaker | 06:09 |
| VistaUser | ummm u have link i lost mines | 06:09 |
| j0ey | Nah, just restart X server (ctrl-alt-backsapce) | 06:09 |
| Takuya | ok | 06:09 |
| Takuya | lesse | 06:10 |
| LF|Irssi | j0ey: hmmm it doesnt seem to ruin things by letting it "remove" ubuntu-desktop... | 06:10 |
| Hatsjoe` | VistaUser http://ubuntuforums.org/ ;) | 06:10 |
| joshuah | ok so there is no way too install it then? | 06:10 |
| LF|Irssi | least that's been my experience j0ey | 06:10 |
| VistaUser | ty i like ubuntus layout just havent gotten used to it i guess | 06:10 |
| j0ey | LF|Irssi: It doesn't ruin things, but it's a metapackage that just.. let's say that you had gnome installed only. | 06:10 |
| joot | Distrojockey: are you able to give Joshuah a repo help that can get him a gnomebaker ?? | 06:10 |
| j0ey | IF you wanted everything in Ubuntu, instead of selecting it all by itself, you just select that package. | 06:10 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, even http://www.getdeb.net/ can't find gnomebaker :( | 06:10 |
| j0ey | And it'll select all the stuff it comes with. | 06:11 |
| j0ey | You get me? | 06:11 |
| Hatsjoe` | Question: How do I know what the Vendor Lib of my MySQL Database is? | 06:11 |
| DistroJockey | joot, just tried to, not so far | 06:11 |
| LF|Irssi | yeah makes more sense now :) | 06:11 |
| VistaUser | ooo yah | 06:11 |
| VistaUser | how i partition drive i want to try another OS without going over this one | 06:11 |
| joot | Distrojockey: He wants to burn an iso is there an old burner available | 06:11 |
| DistroJockey | joot, yeah | 06:12 |
| ardchoille | he could always try cdrecord | 06:12 |
| DistroJockey | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hoary/+source/gnomebaker/+builds (no records) :( | 06:12 |
| joot | Distrojockey: maybe you can point him there | 06:12 |
| j0ey | cdrecord will never go out of style. :) | 06:12 |
| ardchoille | j0ey: indeed :) | 06:12 |
| VistaUser | anyone? | 06:12 |
| ardchoille | can't get much older than that | 06:12 |
| DistroJockey | j0ey, yeah, that's the prog I suggested earlier | 06:12 |
| transporter | could somebody help me with a cairo clock theme | 06:12 |
| Xylia2 | Does anyone know anything about getting wireless working for 8.10 on a Mini 9? | 06:13 |
| paul68 | how do I make a complete backup from my current ubuntu keeping all packages that I have installed which I can restore after cleaning out my harddrive? | 06:13 |
| j0ey | Xylia2: Depends very much on what your Wireless card is. | 06:13 |
| transporter | could anybody help me with installing a cairo clock theme | 06:13 |
| j0ey | Go into Synatpic and just type in the vendor of your wireless card and you should be able to find a package. | 06:13 |
| Xylia2 | j0ey: It's BCM4312. | 06:13 |
| joot | joshuah: maybe you can try K3b but I never had any success burning iso with it>>>:-(( | 06:14 |
| Hatsjoe` | Question: How do I know what the Vendor Lib of my MySQL Database is? | 06:14 |
| joshuah | ok i downloaded gnomebaker and it opened with file roller so is there a way too extract it or something so it runs? | 06:14 |
| === Caveman is now known as Guest75804 | ||
| linxuz3r | now its making sense | 06:14 |
| VistaUser | omg this chat uses so dificult words | 06:14 |
| Doonz | Quick question. Say im running software raid. Would it benefeit me going 64bit or sticking with 32 bit? | 06:14 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, as a .tar file? | 06:14 |
| joshuah | yes as a .tar file | 06:14 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, extract it using roller | 06:15 |
| j0ey | Doonz: I don't believe, unless there are optimizations for 64bit that are clearly stated. | 06:15 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, then read the README | 06:15 |
| transporter | can somebody help me with installing a cairo clock theme | 06:15 |
| joshuah | ok what should i extract it too? | 06:15 |
| Takuya | well that was a no - go | 06:15 |
| Takuya | I did that and X says something like | 06:15 |
| Takuya | Ubuntu is running in low-res mode, (EE) no device matcing description in config | 06:15 |
| Takuya | X starts but it's in low-res, and says the nvidia X driver is not running. | 06:16 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, just extract all contents to a folder | 06:16 |
| j0ey | Takuya: Install EnvyNG. sudo apt-get install envyng | 06:16 |
| Takuya | ok | 06:16 |
| === mobile is now known as MadCowBoy | ||
| joshuah | and then run it after? | 06:16 |
| j0ey | Takuya: After you do that, type envyng -t | 06:16 |
| Takuya | hrmm couldn' find package envyng.. | 06:16 |
| DistroJockey | joshuah, it may have a folder structure in it already or you can extract to a clean folder | 06:16 |
| j0ey | Takuya: envyng-core my bad | 06:16 |
| Takuya | :) | 06:16 |

| Fezzler1_ | I put the Trash can on my Desktop but want to change icon. How can I see where the icon is located so I can change it? | 06:17 |
| j0ey | Takuya: Then uninstall/reinstall drivers as needed, make sure you don't reboot after you uninstall or else you'll end up in a terminal shell! | 06:17 |
| DistroJockey | VistaUser, distrowatch.com is a good start ;) | 06:17 |

| Takuya | ok | 06:19 |
| j0ey | Don't restart. | 06:19 |

| VistaUser | u know how to work the OS good lol cause i got alot of question and instead of asking on forums annd flooding it i can ask you? | 06:22 |
| DistroJockey | VistaUser, you can install other desktop managers beside Gnome also | 06:22 |
| Justin_ | j0ey, thanks! | 06:22 |

| Takuya | or something | 06:22 |
| Guest95545 | WHY DOES MY wireless signal fluctuate in ubuntu, both with r8187 and rtl8187? in Windows everything works fine. How can I fix it? I searched google but I don't know good keywords. | 06:22 |
| DistroJockey | VistaUser, I know a bit, a little bit :) | 06:23 |
| j0ey | Takuya: I'm actually not that sure. | 06:23 |
| Takuya | hrm | 06:23 |
| Takuya | well lemme see.. | 06:23 |
| DistroJockey | VistaUser, best to ask clear questions here | 06:23 |
| j0ey | tech_: Then it should just decompress fine. | 06:23 |
| VistaUser | lol i tried KDE4 i liked the clean and apprence | 06:23 |
| LF|Irssi | everything in Windows does NOT work fine, that the case none of us would be here. :) | 06:23 |
| DistroJockey | VistaUser, about Ubuntu that is :) | 06:23 |
| VistaUser | lol ok this terminal thing can i do basically everything with it? | 06:24 |
| === Caveman is now known as Guest44949 | ||
| j0ey | Yeah, a GUI is just showing you stuff the CLI is doing. | 06:24 |
| DistroJockey | VistaUser, yes | 06:24 |
| LF|Irssi | VistaUser: not much you CANT do with a terminal | 06:24 |
| j0ey | CLI = Command Line Interface, GUI = Graphical User Interface. | 06:24 |
| VistaUser | is there a guide for basically just learning about terminal? | 06:25 |
| DistroJockey | GUI = front end to CLI (if written) | 06:25 |
| ardchoille | !terminal | VistaUser | 06:25 |
| ubottu | VistaUser: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:25 |

| DistroJockey | that's why I use .debs ;) | 06:26 |
| j0ey | Sometimes you just gotta grab life by the balls and compile. | 06:26 |

| IndyGunFreak | VistaUser: no, its not a theme, | 06:33 |

| LF|Irssi | hehe IndyGunFreak, yea i learned my lession after upgrading to 8.10, never again. (well i might upgrade when the next LTS is out, but even then im not so sure) | 06:34 |
| Ferrenrock | anyone use sugar? I found the concept a little basic but the idea of using a radically different DE amazing | 06:34 |
| rraj_be | but i cant download 700 MiB in my minimum GPRS bandwidth and it results in Corupted downloads if i download it al through 5 day's ardchoille | 06:34 |
| crispus_ | sugar is awesome, if youre refering to PCP | 06:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | LF|Irssi: i've actually never upgraded Ubuntu, since 6.06... and have really yet to have a problem... i just backup important files regularly.. i don't even keep /home ona separate partition, i just blow away my install and stat over. | 06:35 |

| gbear14275 | distrojockey, I apologize as I'm just learning unix but its a broadcom wireless card in a t61 connecting to a wrt54g running tomato firmware | 06:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ferrenrock: never heard of it. | 06:35 |
| Takuya | does anyone know how to route command-line output to a file? | 06:35 |
| Takuya | stderr as well? | 06:35 |
| ardchoille | rraj_be: Ok, then you might try the upgrade docs | 06:35 |
| DistroJockey | gbear14275, np at all :) | 06:35 |
| rraj_be | sure ardchoille | 06:35 |
| crispus_ | Takuya: ">"? | 06:35 |
| Takuya | well I tried that.. | 06:35 |
| Takuya | lesse | 06:35 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: uptime > filename 2>&1 IIRC | 06:35 |
| ardchoille | Takuya: command > /path/file | 06:35 |
| LF|Irssi | wow IndyGunFreak thats dedication :) | 06:36 |
| Takuya | AHA adam7 thans, I had the filename AFTER the 2>&1 | 06:36 |
| Takuya | :) | 06:36 |
| gbear14275 | distrojockey, thanks if you point me at the commands that spit out device info I can give you exact details | 06:36 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hello... good afternoon... | 06:36 |
| Takuya | this SHOULD work | 06:36 |
| ardchoille | Takuya: but use two ">>" if you want to append instead of over write: command >> /path/file | 06:36 |

| DistroJockey | gbear14275, as in sudo lspci , lshw , lsusb ? | 06:36 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: you have to do > filename before the 2>&1 filename | 06:37 |
| Takuya | oh | 06:37 |
| Ferrenrock | IndyGunFreak: wiki sugar (GUI) | 06:37 |
| LMJ | Hello the chan | 06:37 |
| Takuya | well now it won't run the command? :p | 06:37 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: all the &1 does it tell it to send the stderr to hte same place as > filename | 06:37 |
| Takuya | I did envyng -t > file 2>&1 | 06:37 |
| gbear14275 | distrojockey, yup... those are them :) | 06:37 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: it should run but you won't be able to see the output | 06:37 |
| DistroJockey | gbear14275, :) | 06:38 |
| Takuya | oh | 06:38 |
| Takuya | well it's interactive | 06:38 |

| Takuya | what does tee do? | 06:38 |
| gbear14275 | distrojockey, 3945ABG intel PROwireless | 06:38 |
| ardchoille | Takuya: man tee | 06:38 |

| amd1333 | newsleecher | 06:38 |
| Takuya | my screen is broken :/ | 06:38 |

| Takuya | haha | 06:39 |
| robbiet480 | hey. anyone know how i can span my menu bar across displays. i got a nvidia fx5200 w/ two displays over vga and twinview is working correctly | 06:39 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: why do you need to redirect the envyng output if it is interactive | 06:39 |
| Takuya | so I need to get this stupid thing working to do my dual head | 06:39 |
| Takuya | adam7 | 06:39 |
| ardchoille | Takuya: tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files | 06:39 |
| Xylia | help please, I'm still trying to get wireless to work using the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896713, and I get a ton of errors when I finish step two. | 06:39 |
| Takuya | because I can't tell the error.. | 06:39 |
| Takuya | adam7_: it's like... erroring out and I can't see it. | 06:39 |
| Ferrenrock | amd1333: you can download that for linux you know | 06:39 |
| Ferrenrock | that would be your best option | 06:39 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: cause the ouptut is off the bottom of the screen? | 06:39 |
| Takuya | so I need to put that to a file so I can read it | 06:39 |
| DistroJockey | gbear14275, I imagine that is pretty common. The search I suggested was mainly tweaks to the tcp/ip stack that can improve all connections that use tcp/ip | 06:39 |
| makario | If I were to create a system-wide folder to share videos and music and other files, where's the best place to create this folder? | 06:39 |

| Takuya | adam7_: no it's at part of my screen where it is busted | 06:39 |
| amd1333 | what you mean? download it for linux? i am using newsleecher in wine.?? | 06:40 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hello, i need your advise, i am new here. which is better to use hardy or intrepid? some people said to me intrepid is new, and maybe it not stable right now, but hardy heron is the best choice, izit true? | 06:40 |
| Takuya | so I can't actually read the screen | 06:40 |
| adam7_ | Takuya: run the command, and when it completes, just press ctrl+c a bunch of times to move the ouput up the screen | 06:40 |
| Takuya | the output goes off the screen though | 06:40 |
| Takuya | like | 06:40 |
| joot | * votes for hardy | 06:40 |
| ardchoille | unitedpotsmokers: Intrepid is the latest release, Hardy is an LTS release (Long Term Support) | 06:40 |

| adam7_ | Takuya: or windows? another computer in general? | 06:41 |
| Takuya | not really... not right now | 06:41 |
| Ferrenrock | amd1333: I would google something like 'newsleecher in linux' and read through stuff | 06:41 |
| Takuya | I iknow I could SSH | 06:41 |
| unitedpotsmokers | how about hardy and do a upgrade to intrepid? maybe it should be fine? | 06:41 |
| Takuya | but.. I don't have one | 06:41 |

| Takuya | lemme try something | 06:42 |
| adam7_ | unitedpotsmokers: if you're going to install hardy, then immediately upgrade, you might as well just install intrepid | 06:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | Guest44949: well as descriptive as that is, i would suggest you try telling us what your wireless device is | 06:42 |
| joot | unitedpotsmokers: If you are going to do that you may as well go straight to intrepid | 06:42 |
| DistroJockey | unitedpotsmokers, If you can avoid upgrading, I suggest you do so | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | adam7_: very good point | 06:42 |
| j0ey | Surely there is an equivalent Newsbin reader for linux that runs native? | 06:42 |
| j0ey | I mean, you can use Wine for some stuff, but I'm sure there's a million newsreaders for Linux. | 06:43 |
| ardchoille | j0ey: liferea, I love it for rss feeds | 06:43 |
| ottarw | i love apt-get | 06:43 |

| adam7_ | j0ey: google reader? | 06:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Guest44949: thats not a device, thats a driver | 06:43 |
| j0ey | Someone was trying to get NewsLEecher to run in Wine but couldn't. | 06:44 |

| DistroJockey | gbear14275, maybe router needs a firmware upgrade? | 06:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Guest44949: you have a difficult time answering questions, so i'll just let you wait for someoene else | 06:44 |
| === Guest44949 is now known as Caveman__ | ||

| j0ey | Oh I know it has it's uses, but I'm sure there is a linux alternatvie for a newsbin file downloader thingamajig. | 06:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | well then try a better nickname. | 06:45 |
| DistroJockey | gbear14275, if you didn't restart system and only did router, then I assume it's to blame | 06:45 |

| hmw | a sound (wine game) hangs in a loop. what do i have to reset? how? | 06:46 |

| vae345 | what should i chose for file system, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs or jfs?? | 06:47 |

| gbear14275 | DistroJockey: great stuff... i'm not even scraping the surface of its capabilities, but people smarter than i say that these pre version 4 wrt54g's can be turned into $500+ routers with the open source firmware | 06:49 |
| j0ey | Tell me how it goes, Takuya. | 06:49 |

| gbear14275 | not sure if you use wireless a bunch but I highly recommend grabbing a few extra if you need network repeaters, bridges, anything really | 06:50 |
| ardchoille | Takuya: look into using screen, that way you can have a bunch of windows in one console, so you can run irssi, mutt (email), and lunx(browser) all in one console | 06:50 |

| Oneiroii | Forget all that high level language nonsense... tightly coded ASM is the way to go! | 07:44 |
| frankS2 | (put sudo infront of apt) | 07:44 |
| ChrisStone | okay so basically i can type in commands kinda like command prompt | 07:44 |
| ChrisStone | examples | 07:44 |
| ChrisStone | ? | 07:44 |
| transporter | frankS2 i have already downloaded a screensaver from gnome-look.org | 07:45 |

| ChrisStone | what can i do? | 07:46 |
| ChrisStone | Im completely new to all this | 07:46 |
| ChrisStone | ive been a windows user my whole life | 07:46 |
| Oneiroii | ChrisStone: Well, between shell commands, shell scripts, and assembly, you can do pretty much anything | 07:46 |
| gnutron | windows is a toy | 07:46 |
| transporter | gnutron should i type in the name of the screensaver while doing that | 07:47 |
| ChrisStone | ive heard linux is the preferred operating system for hackers | 07:47 |
| ChrisStone | does that have to do with the terminal | 07:47 |

| Oneiroii | VistaUser: Well, when you installed Ubuntu, was it Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu? | 07:52 |
| WIGGMPk | nathanhelp: its not hard, if you ever took an MCSA or MCSE class, its almost laughable on how MS SAYS THINGS WORK, but its just not the same in the field and in pratice | 07:52 |

| ChrisStone | Oh i have another question. Is wine a recommended download becuase i heard if can cause problems? | 07:52 |
| ChrisStone | it can cause* | 07:52 |
| UnknownUser57 | WIGGMPk:I take it you are what you say | 07:52 |

| joot | VistaUser :If you have a question for the bot prefix with ! | 07:53 |
| Lokin_ | anyone????? | 07:53 |
| VistaUser | ok | 07:53 |
| WIGGMPk | Lokin_: this doesnt answer your question but can be helpful. running a headless server can be difficult, webmin is a nice application that can ease administration, for beginners (no offense, just giving some choices) | 07:53 |
| VistaUser | is it smart? | 07:53 |
| ardchoille | !webmin | 07:53 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 07:53 |
| Oneiroii | LOL | 07:53 |
| apinunt | Are there any other ubuntu support channels? | 07:53 |
| WIGGMPk | UnknownUser57: "you are what you say" what you mean by that? | 07:53 |

| VistaUser | ok | 07:54 |
| WIGGMPk | webmin is an easy install | 07:54 |
| nathanhelp | WIGGMPk: Never taken them :) Been a WUser all my 27 year old life. Just now getting into Ubuntu. confusing commands when you first encounter them but once you understand them and teh principles of usage, it's quite simple. Like today i learned (about 5 minutes ago actually) that I can sudo apt-get programname/package-name, and also apt-get search program-name for potential candidates. | 07:54 |
| Oneiroii | No, it's webmin - just funny that it's "unsupported" | 07:54 |
| mahesh | BLACK THEME | 07:54 |
| VistaUser | !terminal | 07:54 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 07:54 |
| ardchoille | WIGGMPk: but we are not supposed to recommend webmin here | 07:54 |
| jeancalvin | how can i install ipod update/firmware while on ubuntu? | 07:54 |

| mahesh | OYEEE | 07:55 |
| Lokin_ | or Batch* | 07:55 |
| WIGGMPk | ardchoille: aye, but it does help administration on a headless server for first time users.. so I dont RECOMMEND it but its an option lol | 07:55 |
| Lokin_ | WIGGMPk: Any Other Ideas? | 07:55 |
| Lokin_ | I tried making a VERY simple py script but It didn't work | 07:55 |
| Oneiroii | ardchoille: Not disagreeing with you, but you realize that Google's top search results for Ubuntu server installs all suggest webmin? | 07:55 |
| ardchoille | Oneiroii: google doesn't run this channel or make the rules here. When in rome.. ;) | 07:56 |
| WIGGMPk | nathanhelp: that cool that your interested in the command line way of doing things.. but a common thing I found when I started using Linux was that a lot of users are really turned off by the fact of the command line, when you really DONT need to use it.. You can basically do everything you need with a GUI in Ubuntu (some other distro's might not be true Out of the Box) | 07:56 |
| Lokin_ | Anyone???? | 07:56 |
| VistaUser | !dock | 07:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dock | 07:56 |
| Oneiroii | ardchoille: Again, no disagreement from me - merely pointing out that if webmin is disadvisable, we should let the Ubu forums admins know :) | 07:56 |

| === user3 is now known as cow_LUGU0 | ||
| Oneiroii | bitmouse: Theoretically, you set the hostname for the comp you are on in the resolv.conf, so the NAS never gets called | 08:04 |

| nathanhelp | WIGGMPk: "really turned off by the fact of the command line, when you really DONT need to use it.. You can basically do everything you need with a GUI in Ubuntu" I used to. it scared me off using Linux. this is my third try and once i understand things (I used to be quite good with Dos, but then windows GUI came along). Also early version of ubuntu (that i knew of, didnt have the right GUI's... meaning i had to find something i didnt know about and use c | 08:04 |
| nathanhelp | However...I'm back .... and now that I understand that apt get thing im wondering how simple other things are as well. (and of course powerful) | 08:04 |
| ChrisStone | like an antivirus? | 08:04 |
| joot | ChrisStone: no virii in linux | 08:05 |
| bitmouse | Oneiroii: I don't know what you mean exactly, I meant that I pinged a dlink NAS | 08:05 |
| ChrisStone | ooh | 08:05 |
| bitmouse | Oneiroii: or tried to | 08:05 |
| Oneiroii | ChrisStone: If you really feel the need for antivirus, there's ClamAV, but you likely shouldn;t need it | 08:05 |
| ChrisStone | weird. i guess theyre three steps ahead in the game | 08:05 |
| unimatrix9 | everything you do in the gui is an command that can be run from the commandline | 08:05 |

| ChrisStone | Well thank god for the creator of ubuntu. If it where as expensive as windows is i would never be able to experience it. | 08:06 |
| bitmouse | Oneiroii: I tried to ping the NAS I have on my network using it's TCP name, but it didn't work, but when I tried to ping the computer that I am on currently using it's TCP name, it worked, so I assume there is something wrong with using the TCP name is certain circumstances | 08:06 |

| amh | startx returns an message saying it's not installed. | 08:07 |
| Oneiroii | bitmouse: /etc/resolv.conf | 08:07 |
| toupeiro | resolv.conf is your DNS resolver file | 08:07 |
| WIGGMPk | nathanhelp: the way that I see it is, that Ubuntu has done what it took windows to do in less than a quarter of the time.. like Windows 3.1 to Windows XP SP2 (I wont even go to the billion dollar mistake called Vista) took them forever to get it right just to f it all up... Ubuntu was rocky at first (former Debian stable user here) but they transformed what the "Linux Desktop" OS can be... before, Linux was really just a product | 08:07 |
| gbear14275 | anyone have any info on whats offered? i use nod32 on my windows OS | 08:07 |
| ardchoille | bitmouse: find / -name resolv.conf | 08:07 |
| nathanhelp | gralco: My point being that Im here to learn how to use Ubuntu in a good way, rather than rely soly on GUI. | 08:07 |
| WIGGMPk | nathanhelp: but this is more suited for ubuntu-offtopic hehe =P | 08:08 |
| bitmouse | Oneiroii: exactly Oneiroii | 08:08 |
| amh | and then it suggests apt-get install xinit and when i do it it tells me theres nothing to update or install. what the hell is going on? | 08:08 |
| Oneiroii | bitmouse: Yeah. If you try to access a TCP name that's defined in resolv.conf (your local host is auto defined), the nameserver is never called. It just uses the IP given in resolv.conf | 08:08 |
| unimatrix9 | clam antivirus , panda commanline scanner, kasparsky etc , google for linux anti virus | 08:09 |
| pretender | can anyone advise how i can record from the front end (Watch live TV) is there a keyboard shortcut to start recording when watching live tv | 08:09 |
| toupeiro | Oneiroii> I think you are getting resolv.conf and /etc/hosts confused? | 08:09 |
| Oneiroii | bitmouse: And more than likely, the definition of your computer in resolv.conf is something like "MOUSE localhost 127.0.0.1" | 08:09 |
| adam7_ | nomono: hm. well, I'm not sure then. You can ask the channel again and someone else will probably know | 08:09 |
| gralco | nathanhelp: much more flexible then windows command line eh? | 08:09 |
| gbear14275 | interesting... I found this on linux antivirus and clamav isn't mentioned at all, must not have been around in 2002? | 08:09 |
| nathanhelp | gralco: much :) | 08:09 |
| Oneiroii | toupeiro: Is it? Poo. I do switch those | 08:09 |
| gbear14275 | http://www.linux.com/articles/22899 | 08:09 |
| bitmouse | Oneiroii: for some reason my resolv.conf only has this entry, nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 08:10 |
| unimatrix9 | avast http://www.debianadmin.com/avast-antivirus-for-ubuntu-desktop.html | 08:10 |
| toupeiro | /etc/hosts is where you would want to define hostnames with IP's. /etc/resolv.conf is where you would put name servers for DNS resolution | 08:10 |
| VistaUser | ok i think ill try to start basic coding cause i am bored | 08:10 |
| unimatrix9 | f-prot anti virus is an other one | 08:10 |
| bitmouse | Oneiroii: I am using dd-wrt on that server and it will only give me the TCP name for the computer from which I am accessing it, wonder how to change that | 08:10 |
| oOarthurOo | basic... does that language still exist? | 08:11 |
| unimatrix9 | i think there is enough choice for anti virus in linux.. | 08:11 |

| Oneiroii | bitmouse: toupeiro was right, it's not resolv.conf, it's /etc/hosts | 08:11 |
| WIGGMPk | bitmouse: cause your behind router, that is the definitive DNS / Gateway, thats why resolv.conf shows that address | 08:11 |
| === cow_LUGU0 is now known as user3_ | ||
| bitmouse | is there anyway to get these other TCP names, so i can just use them, since I am on my home network? | 08:12 |
| === user3_ is now known as JJAKA_LUGU | ||
| gbear14275 | unimatrix9: what offerings are you aware of... I don't have one installed right now but this convo will probably spur me to get one | 08:12 |
| Oneiroii | bitmouse: The only time it worked for me was to run bind9 on my server, and use static IP for all the local network devices - I'm sure there's an easier way, though | 08:12 |
| nathanhelp | I've had a look in usr/local/bin, theres nothing in there. where else would i look for the installed soundtracker? | 08:13 |
| toupeiro | bitmouse: some routers cache these name records. If it does not, your best bet is to put the names into the /etc/host files (or in windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc) | 08:13 |
| === warren is now known as htrejh | ||
| === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball | ||
| toupeiro | and if you are using host files, be sure you are NOT using DHCP on your NAS, or you could potentially have to update those files a lot. | 08:14 |
| joot | gbbear14275, unimatrix9, you may wish to read this.. http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 08:14 |
| amh | can anyone help me with my gnome issue on 8.10? | 08:14 |
| Oneiroii | nathanhelp: Did you try "locate soundtracker"? | 08:14 |
| WIGGMPk | nathanhelp: might have to install locate "sudo apt-get install locate" | 08:14 |
| unimatrix9 | as i mentioned earlier, there is : f-prot , clam , panda commandline scanner, avast, kaspersky, i believe even macfee has an linux version, now some are paid , some are free, take your pick and google for it , for example, avast anti virus linux | 08:15 |
| nathanhelp | ok thanks WIGGMPk and Oneiroii | 08:15 |
| gralco | nathanhelp: i started using ubuntu during feist, its been its gone a long way, jackalope is going to be a huge change from what i started with | 08:15 |
| bitmouse | cool thanks toupeiro and Oneiroii for the advice, I think I will just go with static IP since it is easier :-[ | 08:15 |
| VistaUser | wow my internet is acting up | 08:15 |
| unimatrix9 | VistaUser , mine too, where are you located? | 08:16 |
| VistaUser | Hawaii | 08:16 |
| unimatrix9 | hmm, i am in the netherlands | 08:16 |
| toupeiro | Bitmouse: No problem. :) Static IP isn't bad. | 08:16 |

| amh | can someone please help me out with this? | 08:17 |
| bitmouse | toupeiro: yeah, it works :) | 08:17 |
| oOarthurOo | amh with what? | 08:17 |
| nathanhelp | i just typed in locate help....terminal went nuts. | 08:17 |
| VistaUser | i think i got virus haha | 08:17 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: i just installed 8.10 and gnome will not work nor reinstall. | 08:17 |
| VistaUser | i wish ubuntu was compatible with everything | 08:17 |
| onimpulse | hey, can someone help me out with something? | 08:18 |
| amh | i wish ubuntu worked.. in the slightest way. | 08:18 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: That is too vague. Please describe in greater detail your problem. | 08:18 |
| unimatrix9 | got to go , bye all | 08:18 |
| Oneiroii | Sweet - my Windows Avast registration is valid for the Linux version | 08:18 |
| toupeiro | Vista> I am sure you will find that Ubuntu is compatible with many more things than Vista is. | 08:18 |
| amh | oOarthurOo:startx says i need to install xinit | 08:18 |
| VistaUser | lol is that true | 08:18 |
| oOarthurOo | amh and have you tried installing it? | 08:18 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: apt-get install xinit says i need to install xinit-common or something. | 08:18 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: Ok... have you tried installing xinit-common? | 08:19 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: and when i run xinit-common i get a message that says nothing was installed or updated etc | 08:19 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: it appears to be already installed. | 08:19 |
| oOarthurOo | amh do you know how to use pastebin? | 08:19 |
| VistaUser | even games compatibles | 08:19 |
| toupeiro | amh> you have no GUI at all right now? | 08:19 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: unfortunately i cant use pastebin in the scenerio. it's on another computyer. | 08:20 |
| amh | toupeiro: no gui at al. | 08:20 |
| amh | all | 08:20 |
| toupeiro | amh> what was the last thing you installed before you lost your GUI? | 08:20 |
| amh | toupeiro: nothing. i just installed off of the CD | 08:20 |
| amh | and than tried running startx | 08:20 |
| jusama15 | Hello I just did apt-get install java-package but I get - E: Couldn't find package java-package | 08:20 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: Ok, you'll have to do your best ... please post the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" | 08:20 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: ok, i will type it out.. i hope its not long | 08:21 |
| Oneiroii | Man, I remember my Gentoo Stage0 days... how far we've come since then... | 08:21 |
| bitmouse | hey this is a strange question, is there a way to run something as a different user while running as root? | 08:21 |
| toupeiro | amh> ok gotchya, a clean CD install then, and you never had a GUI.. my first step would be to do a: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:21 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: Yes... this doesn't sound like a killer problem. Patience sounds like the key to ubuntu bliss here. Too bad you are one of those for whom the default doesn't work well. | 08:21 |
| toupeiro | amh> if you have already done that, there is a package called ubuntu-desktop which I believe if you remove and reinstall, it should grab and dependencies you don't have installed. | 08:22 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: all i see when i run that command are 6 entries that all start with 'deb" and say "interpid-security" | 08:22 |
| butthead | trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/mrv8k but it's not working iwscan isn't showing anything. anyone have any input? or familiarity with ndiswrapper? | 08:22 |
| oOarthurOo | amh that sounds like your problem | 08:23 |
| amh | toupeiro: how do i remove and install? | 08:23 |
| amh | oOarthurOo: ok how do i fix this? | 08:23 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: maybe someone will pastebin a working ... intrepid? ... sources list for you. | 08:23 |
| amh | i need to disconnect this computer im on now to plug in the other machine . | 08:23 |
| jusama15 | Can someone tell me what entries I should have in my sources.list to install java? | 08:23 |
| oOarthurOo | amh what country are you in and what ubuntu version do you have | 08:23 |
| amh | oOarthurOo:: Canada and im using 8.10 | 08:23 |
| jusama15 | All I have is - deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main | 08:23 |
| oOarthurOo | amh ask someone to post the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" who is from us or canada. | 08:24 |
| amh | ok, well first i will try toupeiro's suggestions.. as they are above. | 08:24 |
| oOarthurOo | retype their output and then do this amh: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 08:24 |
| oOarthurOo | amh that will likely say no package found. | 08:25 |
| amh | ok, anything else i should try before i disconnect the internet on this machine? | 08:25 |
| nathanhelp | terminal is searching... how do i tell it to stop searching? *and putting entries into terminal* | 08:25 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: The problem seems to be that you are missing the repositories where all the software is stored. security doesn't have much. You nee the other repositories with all the software. | 08:25 |
| joot | nathanhelp: control c | 08:25 |
| nathanhelp | joot: thanks | 08:26 |
| DDT | #ubuntu_ru | 08:26 |
| amh | oOarthurOo:: is there a way to download the repositories? | 08:26 |
| toupeiro | anh> I just sent you my sources.list file | 08:26 |
| joot | nathanhelp: welcome :-) | 08:26 |
| toupeiro | amh>this might be a long shot, but is your mouse working in the CLI and do you have three mouse buttons? | 08:26 |
| DaemonLee | Problems: Whenever I boot, the status bar freezes unless I press a key. If I press ANY key, it will continue. Shutdown/Hibernation requires the same. | 08:26 |
| vladtsepesh1984 | hi guys i have installed acroread for pdf files, i have it in the office applications menu but i haven't it in the "open with" menu of a pdf....so how can i open a pdf with acroread???? | 08:26 |
| oOarthurOo | amh: There is no need to disconnect the internet. When someone posts there /etc/apt/sources.list you will see what your file should look like. You can copy theirs onto your system, then save and close. Then update and upgrade and after that all should work well. | 08:26 |
| jusama15 | Hello I just did apt-get install java-package but I get - E: Couldn't find package java-package | 08:27 |
| toupeiro | amh> if it is, you can highlight what I sent you. then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and press your middle mouse button to paste what you highlighted | 08:27 |
| amh | toupeiro: got your message. what is CLI and i do have 3 buttons. | 08:27 |
| toupeiro | CLI = command line interface | 08:27 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: apt-cache search -n java | 08:27 |
| amh | toupeiro: no mouse. | 08:27 |

| jusama15 | Do you think it could be my sources.list? Right now all I have is deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main | 08:29 |
| toupeiro | amh> ok, then just get that list into a file on your MAC. I hope mac has ssh tools installed. if they do type: scp <yourfilename> <yourusername>@<yourubuntuIP>:/home/<yourdirectory> | 08:29 |
| vladtsepesh1984 | hi guys i have installed acroread for pdf files, i have it in the office applications menu but i haven't it in the "open with" menu of a pdf....so how can i open a pdf with acroread???? | 08:29 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: first of all there is no need to log into your computer as root, sudo can do anything you need. and hold on while I check something | 08:30 |
| toupeiro | amh> that will copy the file to your linux machine | 08:30 |
| toupeiro | from there you can use sudo to copy it to /etc/apt | 08:30 |
| * calo http://nigma.ru/c&zopux89 | 08:30 | |

| jusama15 | ardchoille, I'm on a remote machine. I will create a user account. | 08:30 |

| === jacob_ is now known as Guest96130 | ||
| ardchoille | jusama15: some of the java stuff is in multiverse | 08:31 |
| toupeiro | amh> those commands I told you to type on your MAC: your MAC should have a command line interface. you will need to type them there. | 08:32 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: enable multiverse, do "sudo apt-get update" (without quotes) and then: apt-cache search -n sun-java6 | 08:32 |
| vladtsepesh1984 | how can i know where is the acrobat reader installed files? | 08:32 |
| jusama15 | ardoille, I don't think I have a multiverse repository | 08:33 |
| jusama15 | Only repo I have is deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main | 08:33 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: it's commented out in your sources.list, you need to enable it | 08:33 |
| jusama15 | Nope, that's the only line | 08:34 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: there's only one line in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 08:34 |
| jusama15 | yes | 08:34 |
| Oneiroii | LMAO - I almost dropped a brick when my Net meter read 4918k Down, forgetting that Avast was scanning a local SMB drive | 08:35 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: hold on while I paste my sources.list | 08:35 |
| jusama15 | ok | 08:35 |
| toupeiro | mods> if you guys have any chat bots in this channel, it may be worthwhile to have default config files like sources.list in them so if peoples get blown up, they can at least get a clean one. | 08:35 |

| DaemonLee | Yo. I'm looking for something that can somehow figure out from the ID3 Tags what the song is, or look it up. My problem is: I have a bunch of tracks that have numbers in the beginning of the actual filename with no IDv2 or IDv3 tags. | 08:38 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: and here is my sources.list but you need to change "Intrepid" to "Hardy" if you use any of it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77992/ | 08:38 |
| Oneiroii | DaemonLee: Try MusicBrainz Picard | 08:38 |

| iarwain1 | filename | 08:40 |
| iarwain1 | >_< | 08:40 |
| ardchoille | iarwain1: he said filenames only have numbers | 08:40 |
| joot | evolve_: I think you need to make your flash drive bootable | 08:40 |
| iarwain1 | ardchoille: no, only numbers in the beginning | 08:40 |
| dany_21a_ | ardantus: music brainz and picard-tagger :) | 08:41 |

| ardchoille | jusama15: and if you change your sources.list you will need to do this to update your sources: sudo apt-get update | 08:41 |
| linuxnoop | how can i install directx on my wine | 08:41 |
| DaemonLee | Oneiroii, Do I wanna just use the Windows installer in WINE? | 08:41 |
| Oneiroii | DaemonLee: Nah, there's a native version out there somewhere | 08:41 |
| jusama15 | yes I ran that command ardchoille. I got the above error | 08:41 |
| DaemonLee | ardchoille, the ID3 tag is technically there, but butchered, or it's half done... | 08:42 |
| ardchoille | jusama15: do you have another package manager open somewhere? | 08:42 |
| DaemonLee | Or there's a bunch of numbers. | 08:42 |
| Ahadiel | linuxnoop, It already supports DirectX to some degree. | 08:42 |
| ardchoille | DaemonLee: Ah, ok, but that isn't what I read ;) | 08:42 |

| WIGGMPk | I have a second hard drive and plan to just use it for Virtual Machines.. should I just make it Extended ?? | 08:55 |
| Defrysk | hotmonkeyluv, http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/About/MadWifi#Hardware | 08:55 |
| hmw | what is a nice wave editor? (i am used to CoolEdit) | 08:55 |
| linuxguymarshall | iarwain1:There is only one problem....im out of blank cds...dun dun dun | 08:55 |
| hotmonkeyluv | Defrysk: thanks, i'll check that out | 08:55 |
| iarwain1 | WIGGMPk: you don't make a hard drive extended. You make partitions extended. And no, it doesn't really matter (just remember, only 4 primary partitions allowed per hard drive) | 08:55 |
| iarwain1 | linuxguymarshall: oh my =/ | 08:56 |
| WIGGMPk | iarwain1: its not going to boot.. just used as a slave for vm's.. | 08:56 |
| linuxguymarshall | iarwain:Yeah, it sucks. I have a huge spindle of DVDs but my burner is on the fritz | 08:57 |
| iarwain1 | linuxguymarshall: that's gotta hurt :D | 08:57 |
| toupeiro | Is anyone familiar with what bootloader the ubuntu usb keychain creator tool uses? | 08:57 |
| WIGGMPk | iarwain1: and you can create a new partition as Primary or Extended.. which is preferred in my situation?? | 08:57 |
| iarwain1 | WIGGMPk: doesn't matter, you can't make a harddrive extended. Partitions, yes | 08:57 |
| toupeiro | i updated mine and am trying to tell it to load a newer kernel, but its not using GRUB | 08:57 |
| iarwain1 | WIGGMPk: doesn't matter :D | 08:57 |
| WIGGMPk | iarwain1: im not trying to make the 'harddrive' extended | 08:58 |
| os1ris25 | I have a quick question. I just downloaded 8.10 and installed it under windows ( one of the install options ) . After install a problem came up. I have a laptop and as soon as i unplug it from the power source the os shows critical battery power and then shuts down. This just came up. It was working and then this just came up ( i don't know if this was from an update ) any ideas why this would happen? | 08:58 |
| WIGGMPk | iarwain1: im asking what type of partition should I FORMAT this harddrive with.. if its a slave, being used for just virtual machines and not an OS... | 08:58 |
| iarwain1 | WIGGMPk: oh, ext3 is fine for almost everything | 08:58 |
| linuxguymarshall | iarwain1:I have a "blank" cd. it mayyy work | 08:58 |
| iarwain1 | linuxguymarshall: whoo! | 08:58 |
| WIGGMPk | iarwain1: what TYPE OF PARTITION.. if you said "Primary" i would use the ext3 filesystem.. but your not answering what im asking | 08:59 |
| os1ris25 | anyone have any dieas? | 08:59 |
| biko | hello | 08:59 |
| iarwain1 | WIGGMPk: because you can't ask decent questions? | 08:59 |
| linuxguymarshall | iarwain1:I tried to burn it on WinBlows earlier and it burned and when it said it was closing disc it ejected it and said the burn failed. Now every computer says it is blank but idk if it iis | 08:59 |
| joot | linuxgumarshall; I am cancelling the one I was sending :-)) | 08:59 |
| iarwain1 | linuxguymarshall: is it rewriteable? | 09:00 |
| WIGGMPk | iarwain1: *sigh* in an effort to stir this into something useful.. can you explain the differences between Primary vs Extended partitions as it pretains to my situation??? | 09:00 |
| biko | exit | 09:00 |
| linuxguymarshall | iarwain1:no | 09:00 |
| linuxguymarshall | WIGGMPk:Google it | 09:00 |
| WIGGMPk | awesome | 09:00 |
| WIGGMPk | why didnt I think of that... a search engine | 09:00 |
| iarwain1 | WIGGMPk: if you're using it for just data, it doesn't matter if you use primary or extended partitions. there is no "real" difference except that you can only have up to 4 primary partitions, and unlimited (as long as you have the space) extended partitions | 09:01 |
| WIGGMPk | didnt even know you could get that info from google.. gee.. | 09:01 |

| bazhang | terryx, first it is hard to believe that you can install ubuntu on a system with only 128 mb of ram let alone run it; second you need to get into your grub menu.lst for the kernel you are booting on the second computer and remove the splash and quiet lines then tell us exactly the errors you are receiving | 09:44 |

| Guest89228 | kandjar..what??? | 09:44 |
| hmw | prakash_ there is a firewall already built in, ipfilter. you can control it with the command iptables. find a good tutorial on the web, because firewalling is quite challenging. | 09:45 |
| bazhang | hmw, it is iptables | 09:45 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 09:45 |
| hmw | bazhang prakash_ the kernel module isnt ipfilter, its "netfilter" | 09:45 |
| prakash_ | Yeah i know that....some other firewall GUIs Please | 09:46 |
| hmw | prakash_ there i dont know any GUI for iptables and i think, it wont help you very much, if you cant use it manually | 09:46 |
| rdw200169 | bazhang, so, you agree it shouldn't be installed on 128mb of ram... | 09:47 |
| prakash_ | Thanks hmw. | 09:47 |
| hmw | prakash_ the default setting of the firewall is "open for everthing" | 09:47 |
| bazhang | rdw200169, more like I doubt it was possible in the first place; however openbox, fluxbox lxde with a minimal install are fine ubuntu solutions. | 09:47 |

| Slart | blip-: the two version don't talk to each other? | 09:57 |
| melodie_ | I need to install grub on Ubuntu partition because I don't want it to manage my other distros | 09:57 |
| jusama15 | How can I find the main directory of an installed program? | 09:57 |
| F3d0rA | Is there a DVD version of 8.10 with both gnome and kde? | 09:57 |
| jusama15 | I just installed a .deb file. | 09:57 |
| F3d0rA | torrent possibly? | 09:57 |
| Slart | F3d0rA: I don't think so | 09:57 |
| F3d0rA | serious? Onlu CD? | 09:57 |
| blip- | Slart: not over ssh.. something related to using ssh keys vs passwords... it's fixed in version 2 so i need it | 09:57 |
| melodie_ | bazhang, I'm being reading all the grub docs on the web, but I receive errors | 09:57 |
| melodie_ | such as | 09:57 |
| melodie_ | stage1 not found on this partition | 09:57 |
| melodie_ | or even 'this volume does not exist" | 09:58 |
| melodie_ | so | 09:58 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, are you pretty good at using the ubuntu alternate cd? | 09:58 |
| melodie_ | if someone knows about reinstall on | 09:58 |
| drh | what is vesa mode? | 09:58 |
| Slart | blip-: hmm.. if you're lucky darcs2 doesn't have a lot of weird dependencies.. then you can just get the intrepid package and install that on the older machine | 09:58 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, I just tried the alternate recuparation | 09:58 |
| F3d0rA | So there is only CD versions ? | 09:58 |
| rothchild | prakash_: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/09/install-google-chrome-on-linux-using-wine.html | 09:58 |

| melodie_ | :( | 09:58 |
| oOarthurOo | melodie_: Try typing all your thoughts on one line please. Not thought, enter, thought, enter. | 09:58 |
| Slart | blip-: if you're unlucky I guess you'd have to do it the other way around.. and use the older version on both computers | 09:58 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, ok, do this, go through the alternate disk, get it to detect the cd rom and the internet, then go to a shell | 09:58 |
| melodie_ | oOarthurOo, not easy | 09:59 |
| F3d0rA | Can you purchase a DVD versions or is DVD just not avaialbe? | 09:59 |
| jusama15 | How can I find the main directory of an installed program? | 09:59 |
| bazhang | F3d0rA, yes there are torrents and dvd versions | 09:59 |
| blip- | Slart: wait i though intrepid was old... or is it 8.10 :D | 09:59 |

Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). | 09:59 |
| hmw | drh: old video cards used this mode of operations. there is a vesa driver, it will be used, if your Xorg doesnt want to use the driver, you selected, because of an error probably. vesa mode thus means, your graphics adapter runs not at optimal performance. | 09:59 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, yes and then ? what with the shell ? | 09:59 |
| oOarthurOo | melodie_: I know, but it makes it easier for people trying to help. | 09:59 |
| F3d0rA | and the dvd versions have both KDE and gnome? | 09:59 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, then, from the shell, mount the partition with your ubuntu in it, and chroot into it | 09:59 |
| Slart | blip-: intrepid is the latest, greatest | 09:59 |
| jusama15 | nvm got it, it's dpkg -L package | 09:59 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, then you can apt-get install grub, if you don't have it | 09:59 |
| Slart | blip-: ie 8.10 | 09:59 |
| oOarthurOo | hmw: Did you get your stuff straightened out? | 09:59 |

| melodie_ | rdw200169, its supposed to be installed, as all the files are there in /boot/grub, and in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc | 10:00 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, can you boot into ubuntu right now? i'm assuming the whole thing is trashed | 10:00 |
| incorrect | the default kernel was not built with modules i need for my tosh laptop | 10:01 |
| Slart | rsp: I heard someone discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic.. go tell them | 10:01 |
| hmw | oOarthurOo no, i gave up. i think my radeon9600 is somehow corrupted, maybe its having some cmos with settings. the open source driver does VERY strange things since yesterday, but i went back to fglrx (single head) and - woohoo - i can watch videos and dvds even with compiz turned on. its a big mess. | 10:01 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, I could boot into it until I reinstall the grub of my other distro on the mbr | 10:01 |
| incorrect | what is the best way to build a missing module? | 10:01 |
| melodie_ | then I tried to put menu.lst entry | 10:01 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, well, you can, from that alternate cd installer, do a grub-install from the chroot | 10:01 |
| blip- | Slart: i found this. does it help http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/darcs | 10:01 |
| melodie_ | but after reboot it could not find the kernel (error 15) | 10:01 |
| rothchild | can anyone tell me why compiz isn't working now? http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b | 10:01 |
| F3d0rA | it returned sorry no torrents | 10:01 |
| oOarthurOo | hmw videos with compiz was a distaster on my system. My fan went mad trying to keep up with my cpu. I Just don't think compiz is ready for primetime yet. | 10:02 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, this sounds like your drive map is all screwed up, in /boot/grub in your uubntu partiton, or whatever partition is hosting /boot | 10:02 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, I need to find the correct syntax to have it at /dev/sda9 though, that's what I'm looking for | 10:02 |
| hmw | oOarthurOo though it should be on my hardware setup. | 10:02 |
| Slart | blip-: give it a try.. gdebi will complain if the dependencies aren't met.. try the older machine first | 10:02 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, yes, maybe the System.map | 10:02 |
| === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball | ||
| rdw200169 | melodie_, the best way to solve your grub problem, is having a separate /boot partition, and mounting that same partition in all your distros | 10:02 |
| F3d0rA | wait its sais the only benefit to DVD is the extra language packs and thats it? | 10:03 |
| melodie_ | but now it's such a big junk in a system map | 10:03 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, false | 10:03 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, yeah, the file that lists for grub where all the drives are | 10:03 |
| hmw | oOarthurOo and actually, now it is. i worked on my xorg setup for about 40 hrs in sum, and i couldnt find a pattern. using the backup copy of xorg.conf does NOT undo certain things, you did, for some strange - no STRANGE reasons. | 10:03 |
| melodie_ | the kernels won't be the same | 10:03 |
| UnknownUser56 | downloading it | 10:03 |
| rdw200169 | melodie_, obviously, but grub needs to find all the kernels, and it usually looks in /boot | 10:03 |
| VistaUser | how come terminal cant open lock file? | 10:04 |
| melodie_ | rdw200169, do you happen to know the syntax I'm looking for ? grub-install /dev/sda9 or grub-install root-device=/dev/sda9 or whatsoever ? | 10:04 |
| oOarthurOo | hmw: 2d is very well supported under linux . :) | 10:04 |

| hmw | melodie_ would it help, if i gave you my menu.lst? | 10:06 |

| arun_ | any video convertors,editors for linux | 10:07 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, it does, with fwcutter | 10:07 |
| melodie_ | hmw, no it won't thanks | 10:07 |
| VistaUser | ty | 10:07 |
| Slart | arun_: mencoder is one converter.. editors are a bit more rare | 10:07 |
| F3d0rA | I kmow you can buy dell Laptop from Dell with Ubuntu on it so I have to assume if you get a Dell Wireless 1505 card which is the BCM4328 Ubuntu supports it right? | 10:07 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, the broadcom drivers are pretty notorious in linux | 10:07 |
| arun_ | video convertors for linux?? | 10:07 |
| hmw | oOarthurOo right now, i am happy with the setup. its just not possible to reactivate dual or triple head, not even in 2D. somethings very odd here. i really gave up. well: now i have a fast 3D setup and its ok, too. | 10:07 |
| bazhang | arun_, ffmpeg | 10:08 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, it's hit or miss as to whether a particular chipset will work *out of the box* on ubuntu | 10:08 |
| melodie_ | I've got nine distros, and some can be booted with initrd /inird.img and this some seems not able to do so | 10:08 |
| melodie_ | ok, thanks anyhow to all, I'll manage otherwise | 10:08 |
| hmw | melodie_ chain loader? *puzzled* is it meant for windows? | 10:08 |
| melodie_ | hmw, no you can chainload anything | 10:08 |
| rothchild | hi does anyone know why compiz has just stopped working for me? The error is here: http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b | 10:08 |
| Tom_1223 | simplexio: I ran bonnie++, where does it output the results to? The results it's returned in the CLI are confusing and sparse considering the time it took to compute. | 10:08 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, but, my memory serves me well on this one, there is the bcm43xx-fwcutter package which can extract firmware drivers from the windows drivers, it's a pain b/c they can't provided the proprietary drivers, you have to *find* them | 10:09 |
| hmw | melodie_ *looking up chainloading with grub* what is your exact problem? | 10:09 |
| oOarthurOo | hmw: That's good. Well, at least you sound mostly happy. I gather you've gotten your fingers dirty in xorg.conf and not had much luck? I don't ask because I've got experience getting it to work.. just curioistity. | 10:09 |
| F3d0rA | rdw200169: but don't work in fedora 10. Only way it worked is using ndiswrapper. I know fwcutter v0.11 now now avaialble to install the broadcom wireless chipsets but even the latest firmware does not hlp my card | 10:09 |
| arun_ | thanks i'll try out them,perhaps i need something like avidemux | 10:09 |
| melodie_ | hmw, in private if you like ? | 10:09 |
| F3d0rA | serious? | 10:09 |
| melodie_ | as I allready explained. :) | 10:09 |
| hmw | melodie_ gotta login with another client. i will page you as hmw_pidgin | 10:09 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, well, then you know more than me | 10:09 |
| melodie_ | ok | 10:10 |
| F3d0rA | rdw200169: An that woudl work on any flavor of linux or the three main ones? | 10:10 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, you mean like kubuntu, xubuntu ubuntu, etc...? | 10:10 |

| deathshadow | arun_: I run well | 10:12 |
| arun_ | u mean just install it'll work deathshadow?? | 10:13 |
| Kajover | any ideas?? | 10:13 |
| F3d0rA | ok will def . Look into it. Maybe it works on the same principle as ndiswrapper which uses the inf and sys window driver | 10:13 |
| arun_ | can i have private chat with u deathshadow?? | 10:13 |
| rdw200169 | F3d0rA, yeah, it works pretty well, but only is supposed to work on the 43xx series of broadcom chips | 10:13 |
| kevin__ | hello | 10:14 |

| rdw200169 | Mal3ko, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 10:15 |
| rdw200169 | Mal3ko, there's an option in there for "allow root access" or something like that, that you just comment out | 10:16 |
| Mal3ko | ok | 10:16 |
| rdw200169 | Mal3ko, check "man sshd_config" for more options | 10:16 |

| Tom_1223 | simplexio: In that case, it's the /dev/hda | 10:18 |
| VistaUser | no i mean is there any packages like what compiz-fusion does | 10:18 |
| rdw200169 | VistaUser, well, ubuntu installs compiz-fusion by default | 10:18 |
| VistaUser | is there any other packages like it? | 10:19 |
| rdw200169 | VistaUser, you mean alternatives to compiz? | 10:19 |
| VistaUser | yes | 10:19 |
| Kajover | what do i need to do to get any attention here?! | 10:20 |
| rdw200169 | VistaUser, not really, there was beryl, but they've merged into one big project (if i remember correctly) | 10:20 |
| rdw200169 | VistaUser, i think that's where the fusion part came from | 10:20 |

| orgthingy | cedega is best for games | 11:39 |
| orgthingy | then crossover then wine | 11:39 |

| huwenfeng | kane77: yes, i mean we two | 11:46 |
| NthDegree | Maveas, with a cloak it's bulletproof against everyone but Freenode staff | 11:46 |
| Maveas | You sure? | 11:46 |
| Maveas | Even an extreme good hacker couldn't get it? | 11:46 |
| NthDegree | Maveas, yes | 11:46 |
| Starnestommy | Maveas: if the user connects but doesn't identify quickly enough they might join channels without their cloak and cloaks can be removed by network ops for misnehavior | 11:46 |

| orgthingy | MY WEBCAME DOESNT WORK | 11:47 |
| NthDegree | Maveas, if the IRCd is vulnerable (hacker) then staff would be attacked, not users :P | 11:47 |
| orgthingy | helpz me!! | 11:47 |
| Maveas | Hmm.. Some guy once got my IP on QuakeNet :S | 11:47 |
| dns53 | Kolka in intrepid it is suppose to allow that, not sure how | 11:47 |
| Starnestommy | Maveas: but these things rarely happen and a I would say that a vhost or cloak is about 99% effective | 11:48 |
| NthDegree | QuakeNet is a bit different | 11:48 |
| NthDegree | Freenode uses a massively different system when it comes to hiding IPs | 11:48 |

| kieko | can i do gksu nautilus ? | 11:49 |
| Maveas | Hmm, I'll just google Tor :) | 11:49 |
| Starnestommy | Maveas: no | 11:49 |
| NthDegree | kieko, use sudo chmod 666 filename | 11:49 |
| NthDegree | kieko, that gives everyone write permission | 11:49 |
| Starnestommy | Maveas: cgiirc and mibbit do, but they're web gateways | 11:49 |
| Maveas | Ok, thanks for the answers NthDegree and Starnestommy :) | 11:49 |
| kieko | NthDegree, chmod 666 filename gives write permission? i thought there were things like x and + | 11:49 |
| dns53 | Kolka you bring up network manager and select the networks to share | 11:49 |
| Maveas | Ahh, I remember the Tor project :) | 11:49 |
| Maveas | And yes, it is very slow.. | 11:50 |
| NthDegree | kieko, yes you can do +w or whatever but the number way is easier to remember for me >.> | 11:50 |
| Starnestommy | NthDegree: many irc networks either ban tor entirely or place restrictions on its use | 11:50 |
| NthDegree | Starnestommy, but we don't do we? =] | 11:50 |
| Kolka | how? :S | 11:50 |

| NthDegree | haha | 11:50 |
| UnknownUser56 | ctrl alt backspace ... | 11:50 |
| kieko | NthDegree, kewl... and if i have a bunch of files how can i do them all at once please? | 11:51 |
| Maveas | I wont use Tor .. It's tooooooo slow xD | 11:51 |
| Starnestommy | NthDegree: freenode requires a hidden service for it which is often temporarily blocked by staff to curb abuse and it's cloaked in a way that makes it easy to ban in many channels including this one | 11:51 |
| NthDegree | kieko, well put more than one filename on the end.. or use wildcards like /path/to/files/* | 11:51 |
| NthDegree | Starnestommy, doesn't the "trusted user" system still exist for Tor? | 11:52 |
| kieko | NthDegree, i'm in the folder in question so, do i just leave a space between each file name and put them all in one sentence? (string?) | 11:52 |
| Starnestommy | NthDegree: gpg-tor does | 11:52 |
| NthDegree | kieko, you'd do something like "file1.txt" "file2.txt" etc. | 11:52 |
| NthDegree | yeah basically | 11:52 |

| ubottu | prakash_621 (you'll get to this eventually anyway, but if you miss it): The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 12:02 |
| sdlwof | in the updates tab, i see ubuntu updates; automatic updates, relase upgrades. under ubuntu updates, i see important, recommended, pre-release, and unsupported. | 12:02 |
| sdlwof | i don't see only a 'releases' | 12:03 |
| Fougner | sdlwof, look at the bottom | 12:03 |
| * melodie_ don't like bots that much... | 12:03 | |
| sporkboy | is there a way I can make closing my lid not shut off screen1 (but still shut off screen0)? | 12:03 |
| overdub | what is "auto eth0"? | 12:03 |
| sdlwof | there's Never, Normal releases, long term supported. | 12:03 |
| sdlwof | do you mean "normal releases" instead of 'releases"/ | 12:03 |
| Fougner | sdlwof, which setting is it now? | 12:03 |
| sdlwof | Fougner, normal releases. There is no option for 'releases' | 12:04 |
| dns53 | sdlwof yes normal releases are the 6 monthly releases, the long term are every 18 months | 12:04 |
| Fougner | hm | 12:04 |
| overdub | when I set up networking from command line, the little icon on the top of the screen thinks i'm disconnected | 12:04 |
| sdlwof | menu options 'normal releases' and 'releases' are different. | 12:05 |
| sdlwof | be specific man, there's some dumb mofo's in here. | 12:05 |
| overdub | when i set up network using the pokey little GUI, my DNS is hosed | 12:05 |
| melodie_ | overdub, an automatic option to make eth0 network interface appear | 12:05 |
| UbuntuUser | ni ni | 12:05 |
| melodie_ | overdub, what does "hosed" mean ? | 12:05 |
| overdub | hosed is slang for not working | 12:05 |
| scientes | how do i search a man page? | 12:05 |
| sdlwof | scientes, /searchstring | 12:06 |
| melodie_ | overdub, try to find a doc to wicd and install it, then try to use it. | 12:06 |
| === scully is now known as scully|away | ||
| scientes | thx sdlwof | 12:06 |
| overdub | ok, thanks for the info melodie_ | 12:06 |
| sdlwof | scientes, :# hops to line# | 12:06 |
| akonkwa | i'm having trouble playing mkv files in vlc, can anyone help? | 12:07 |
| sdlwof | scientes, also after /searchstring keep pushing n to go through the document | 12:07 |
| melodie_ | overdub, it does not belong to official packages, you have to add the repo in your sources.list | 12:07 |
| Lo_ | where do I view/edit startup processes/programmes? | 12:07 |
| wookienz | can i install from live cd onto a striped raid array which contains windows? without wiping windows? | 12:07 |
| Fougner | Lo_, sessions? =) | 12:08 |
| melodie_ | overdub, hum, i'm a little sleepy : was it a wifi matter ? | 12:08 |
| overdub | melodie_: I wonder why the obscurity for such a common thing as having a network connection? | 12:08 |
| Fougner | Lo_, System->settings->sessions | 12:08 |
| melodie_ | overdub, was it a wifi problem or not at all ? | 12:08 |
| kieko | unpack it somewhere and run the glGo.install script. Question: Can someone tell me how to run this install.script? ./install.sh isn't doing it | 12:08 |
| overdub | this is not a wifi connection | 12:08 |
| melodie_ | forget wicd then | 12:08 |
| sdlwof | haha, you people, iwconfig | 12:09 |
| melodie_ | do you have a special network card ? | 12:09 |
| Lo_ | Fougner, Thank you | 12:09 |
| kieko | unpack it somewhere and run the glGo.install script. | 12:09 |
| overdub | I'm going to poke around a bit more, there must be something I'm missing here | 12:09 |
| melodie_ | overdub, | 12:09 |
| melodie_ | do you have a special network card ? | 12:09 |
| kieko | that's what it says; but it doesn't explain how to 'run' it | 12:09 |
| overdub | melodie_: no, same one I've used with Linux for years | 12:09 |
| scion | try to type 'sh install.sh' | 12:09 |
| melodie_ | overdub, I'm just discovering the new Ubuntu... what to say ? | 12:10 |
| overdub | oh, wait, i'm wrong, this is an on board card | 12:10 |
| Fougner | xD | 12:10 |
| melodie_ | overdub, check if no second driver messes up with the right one then | 12:10 |
| overdub | but it does work just fine when I set it up from command line | 12:10 |
| melodie_ | overdub, just check | 12:10 |
| === nenolod is now known as moogle | ||
| melodie_ | overdub, take a look at the return from 'lsmod' and if two network card drivers appear, one must be removed and blacklisted | 12:11 |
| overdub | connects just fine doing ifconfig, route add default gw . . . etc | 12:11 |
| kpuljek | where in ubuntu 8.10 i can find the replacement for this screen: http://www.debianadmin.com/images/network/6.png | 12:11 |
| kpuljek | they've abandoned this tool, and I can't make my way through the new ones :| | 12:12 |
| overdub | but the icon on the menu bar shows me as offline | 12:12 |
| melodie_ | overdub, yes, but when do you loose the connexion ? | 12:12 |
| aira | ? | 12:12 |
| melodie_ | overdub, at reboot, else ? | 12:12 |
| kieko | i have a glGo.install to run. Can someone tell me how? | 12:12 |
| overdub | i don't even think it drops, but the icon shows me offline when i'm online is all | 12:12 |
| Fougner | kieko, tried "sh install.sg?" | 12:12 |
| oskar- | kpuljek, right click on the network icon and select something like "edit connections" | 12:12 |
| kieko | Fougner, no | 12:12 |
| kieko | Fougner, just like that? | 12:13 |
| melodie_ | overdub, then you may want to remove the icon. it won't bother you further. ;) | 12:13 |
| overdub | and then when I try to set it up using "auto eth0", my DNS won't resolve | 12:13 |
| Fougner | kieko, what is this script? | 12:13 |
| overdub | melodie_: hehe, might just come to that | 12:13 |
| kieko | Fougner, it is a go application from Panda IGS | 12:13 |
| kpuljek | oskar-: i've been there, but i really can't make out where exactly to set up the static ip and dns servers :S | 12:13 |
| scion | kieko: either chmod +x file.sh or sh file.sh | 12:13 |
| Fougner | overdub, if you're behind a router, try to set /etc/resolve.conf to the right DNS-server | 12:13 |
| kieko | Fougner, in terminal i have a green glGo.install file | 12:13 |
| overdub | Fougner: it already is, when I set it up manually (at command line) | 12:14 |
| melodie_ | Fougner, he does not have a connexion problem, but a icon network message problem | 12:14 |
| Fougner | sorry =D | 12:14 |
| melodie_ | overdub, if you don't set it up manually, does it connect just after boot ? | 12:14 |
| Fougner | kieko, well that's kinda weird | 12:14 |
| overdub | there was no /etc/resolve.conf file, i had to make it | 12:14 |
| Fougner | overdub, whaaat | 12:15 |
| oskar- | kpuljek, ok, the first tab in the then opening windows should be called something like "cable connections", then there should be connection entries like "Auto eth0" or similar. select and edit them | 12:15 |
| melodie_ | overdub, ! | 12:15 |
| overdub | melodie_: i've not tried to see if it works after reboot | 12:15 |
| melodie_ | overdub, no /etc/resolve.conf but /etc/resolv.conf !!! | 12:15 |
| overdub | my typo | 12:15 |
| melodie_ | ok | 12:15 |
| dns53 | overdub network manager usually generates one from dhcp so it is best not to touch it | 12:15 |
| melodie_ | what did you put in there ? | 12:15 |
| overdub | meant /etc/resolv.conf | 12:15 |
| Bupsss | can anyone help me? i dont get the location for the weather anymore | 12:15 |
| Bupsss | it disappears after i reboot | 12:16 |
| melodie_ | Bupsss, do you have a windows at home ? | 12:16 |
| overdub | dns53: but i'm connecting static, no DHCP | 12:16 |
| kieko | Fougner, http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/glgo/Install.txt | 12:16 |
| dns53 | Bupsss wait a few minutes with your network connected | 12:16 |
| melodie_ | overdub, ok | 12:16 |
| kieko | Fougner, the instructions are very vague | 12:16 |
| kpuljek | oskar-: okay, found it. just one more question - why does it change my subnet mask to 24 everytime i try to enter it? | 12:16 |
| Bupsss | melodie_, yes, why? | 12:16 |
| overdub | going to reboot and see if that sets things strait | 12:16 |
| melodie_ | overdub, what is written in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 12:16 |
| oskar- | kpuljek, do you enter 255.255.255.0? ;) | 12:16 |
| Fougner | kieko, look under windows then ;) | 12:16 |
| Bupsss | dns53 i dont have the city in the list anymore | 12:17 |
| kpuljek | oskar-: yes | 12:17 |
| melodie_ | Bupsss, look at your window you know the weather. ;) | 12:17 |
| Bupsss | -.- | 12:17 |
| melodie_ | overdub, | 12:17 |
| overdub | melodie_: i don't see eth0 there | 12:17 |
| dns53 | Bupsss is the locations hidden, is there a map? | 12:17 |
| Fougner | kieko, is there a script named "glGo.install" somewhere? | 12:17 |
| scion | kieko: open the glo.install script and check the top first line | 12:17 |
| oskar- | kpuljek, it means the same, don't worry | 12:17 |
| overdub | only loopback | 12:17 |
| scion | see what the script languiage | 12:17 |
| scion | is | 12:17 |
| melodie_ | booting does not put things straight, it allows to see if the network config holds ! | 12:17 |
| Bupsss | dns53, i see the location map empty, if i click edit, the list is empty | 12:17 |
| Bupsss | i had 2 cities | 12:17 |
| scion | it may be python, perl, bash, sh | 12:17 |
| kpuljek | oskar-: oh, yes... that makes sense... if the want to confuse newcomers even more :P :) thank you | 12:18 |
| melodie_ | overdub, GNU/Linux is not Windows | 12:18 |
| Bupsss | if i set it again it works, but after reboot, it disappears | 12:18 |
| overdub | melodie_: yes, which would be in my mind setting things strait | 12:18 |
| overdub | melodie_: and thankfully so :) | 12:18 |
| melodie_ | overdub, :) | 12:18 |
| Fougner | kieko, try writing "file glGo.install" | 12:18 |
| scion | you should be able to chmod +x glGo.install | 12:19 |
| scion | and then ./glGo.install | 12:19 |
| * overdub wanders off to go poke, prod, and ponder | 12:19 | |

| oskar- | zer0__, try it on a virtual console, ctrl+alt+f1, login, type "something" and press tab two times | 12:52 |
| prakash_621 | how is the application executed in linux. What extension is the executable files in linux. ???? | 12:53 |

| MarZau | .py .sh .etc... linux programs have alot of extensions | 12:54 |
| Fougner | as far as I know, it's located in different directories | 12:54 |

| kelli | how can i send pic to someone on yahoo chat? | 12:56 |
| zer0__ | need to find it | 12:56 |
| Fougner | prakash_621, just because of the .exe extension doesn't make it execuable, right? | 12:56 |
| chfwiggum | transporter: DEPENDS IF U LIKE POP OR IMAP | 12:56 |
| satrujeet | o i c..those are the rules.. So here I go...I installed ubuntu 8.10 , went for an update and discovered that my wireless is not working.. how do restore it ??? | 12:57 |
| oskar- | chfwiggum, he likes hot(web)mail ;) | 12:57 |
| coax | prakash_621: depending on the tyope of file, a script file needs to be +x for it to be executed alone, and an executable doesnt need an extension | 12:57 |
| chfwiggum | transporter: then google setupt hotmail pop account thunderbird | 12:57 |

| zer0__ | coax,i cant find where gnome sound properties located.. :( | 13:02 |

| zer0__ | lol..it sound preference.i already open it.. btw, what next coax? | 13:03 |
| coax | prakash_621: it's better to not ask someone directly, maybe someone else has the answer | 13:03 |
| lenin | Marzau: Intel graphic card. It's a Toshiba laptop | 13:03 |
| ziroday` | adilson: so you're saying during an update there was a power failure and so xorg didn't upgrade properly? | 13:03 |
| xk001 | adilson, using ext2 or ext3 ? | 13:04 |
| adilson | ziroday, after the update i restarted but when i was on the gdm screen had a power failure | 13:04 |
| adilson | xk001, jfs | 13:04 |
| xk001 | reconfigure xorg and use ext3 to prevent problems in xorg. | 13:04 |
| prakash_621 | Fougner, i dont know where this firestarted is installed ? how to find that ? | 13:05 |
| ziroday` | adilson: okay, try do sudo dpkg --configure -a | 13:05 |
| zer0__ | what next coax? | 13:05 |
| MarZau | lenin , im not familiar with intel under linux, my first guess would be to turn compiz off | 13:05 |
| Fougner | prakash_621, very often, you just type "name-of-the-app" in the terminal | 13:05 |
| lenin | MarZau , Compiz is turned off. Did you see the screenshot? | 13:05 |
| === scully is now known as scully|away | ||
| MarZau | yes definitely looks like a driver issue, but don't know why its doing that sry | 13:06 |
| Fougner | prakash_621, just try "firestarter" in the terminal | 13:06 |
| adilson | ziroday, im getting unable to access dpkg status, a lot of the syystem files have locked to read nly and i think my .Xauthority got messed up as well | 13:07 |

| zer0__ | where is coax???? | 13:07 |
| xk001 | 1 sec | 13:07 |
| SOURdiesel | lenin: are you having video issues with compiz running? | 13:08 |
| prakash_621 | No Fougner, i want to add firestarter in the startup programs, it asks me the location of the program. | 13:08 |
| xk001 | use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:08 |
| xk001 | install linux using ext to prevent those errors in general if power goes off again. i used to used ext2 and get that problem | 13:09 |
| xk001 | *use | 13:09 |
| xk001 | *ext3 | 13:09 |
| xk001 | my damn writing xD | 13:09 |

| Gallez | yes | 13:36 |
| oskar- | KR-data, is there maybe more output of dmesg, where the device file is mentioned? or can you identify the drive in the output of "cat /proc/partitions"? | 13:36 |
| bimmax | Gallez, there you are I knew it will ask you that. it a little bit hard but I managed to have all that stuff work , search via google and you will certainly get some help there, all the best | 13:36 |

| Lu6cifer | In trying to setup GRUB, I used commands such as, "find /boot/grub/stage1," and root (hd 0, 5) or setup (hd0), but it just said partition doesn't exist, or file not found. But I checked Gparted--the partitions are definitely there | 13:43 |

| l0newolf | is there a way to back up specific mouse themes? found one I really like in another distro but want to use in ubuntu | 13:46 |
| bimmax | Lu6cifer, gut boot from the cd/dvd and then use it as live cd and from there you can tweak the GRUb | 13:47 |
| Lu6cifer | Yea, I tried that, but all I got were error messages | 13:47 |
| bimmax | Lu6cifer, when do you get errors? | 13:48 |
| djiezes | Lu6cifer: when doing "root(hd0, " try your tab key , grub should give you all partitions it can boot. | 13:48 |
| Lu6cifer | ok | 13:48 |
| Lu6cifer | Should the GRUB files be under /boot ? | 13:48 |
| djiezes | under /boot/grub | 13:48 |
| Lu6cifer | Because I actually checked the 8.10 partition's /boot dir | 13:49 |
| Lu6cifer | and I don't think I fond any GRUB | 13:49 |
| Lu6cifer | files | 13:49 |
| djiezes | Lu6cifer: and remember grub starts counting at 0 . so sda5 would be hd0,4 | 13:49 |

| liuzhongwei_ | 新手误入。。。。 | 13:54 |

| sdflw | Defrysk, i've tried, it's the pills. she just can't use the mouse with any agile.... | 13:56 |
| l0newolf | ikonia: if I follow the symlinks and copy them to the actual icon folder will that be enough to work? | 13:56 |
| sdflw | instead of a click or dclick, it's a 1/2 click and 1/2 drag, then that's the end of the program... | 13:56 |
| ikonia | l0newolf: depends, but should be | 13:56 |
| ikonia | sdflw: just make the Desktop dir read only | 13:57 |
| Defrysk | sdflw, what ikonia sais souns a smple solution | 13:57 |
| l0newolf | ikonia: understood, thanks for the info :) | 13:57 |
| oskar- | maverick340, make a copy of your smb.conf, then share a folder and then "diff ~/smb.conf-copy /etc/samba/smb.conf" | 13:57 |
| echinos | I'm having a sound issue - I have a server install, and I put an ensoniq card in. dmesg shows it being recognized and the module is loaded, but aplay -l doesn't list the card (as per the sound troubleshooting page from ubottu) | 13:57 |
| sdflw | ikonia, it's not the desktop icons, it's the taskbar, clock, volume, drags it from the top to the left, etc. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | sdflw: make the dir read only so the changes can't be written too | 13:57 |
| echinos | I might not even have the sound system installed properly, but is that only alsa-base in a server install, or do I need all the pulseaudio stuff too? | 13:58 |
| sdflw | then she won't be able to add files to the desktop then? | 13:58 |
| ikonia | correct | 13:58 |
| maverick340 | oskar-, whats does diff ~/smb.conf do ? | 13:58 |
| ikonia | she can add them to her home dir where they are meant to go | 13:58 |

| Maveas | Someone with a RT61 chipset wifi card? | 14:01 |

| poopsniffer | musikgoat|main, wouldn't know how to do that | 14:37 |

| poopsniffer | musikgoat|main, yes, but in order for it to work, even though i changed /etc/passwd to /bin/bash, and used chsh to change it to bash, everytime i click on applications>acc>terminal, i have to type /bin/bash in the terminal to change it.

| erUSUL | Lobes06: the partitioning is already done so a normal install would be easiest | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | Lobes06, easiest is to install ubuntu-desktop, that will let you have both on the same install.. then you could remove the xfce packages if you want.. or keep them if theres tools that xfce has that you like. | 14:58 |
| Lobes06 | So put the Ubuntu in when winodws is running, and choose that second option to install from Windows? | 14:58 |
| consfearacy | gnoob | 14:58 |

| === consfearacy is now known as GNUb | ||

| Lo_ | Lobes06, Then go for standard install from Cd | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | Lobes06, you reinstall then. | 14:59 |
| erUSUL | GNUtoo: is last writte afaik (modification time mtime) | 14:59 |
| Lobes06 | And it won't screw up the grub option to get into Windows? If I lose that, I'll be in trouble! | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | Lobes06, but theres no real need to do that. | 14:59 |
| GNUtoo | erUSUL, ok thanks a lot | 14:59 |

| GNUtoo | erUSUL, if the time and date of the computer is ok...and the computer only have ubuntu...what could possibly mess-up theses dates? | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | GNUtoo: btw you should use relatime instead of noatime ;) | 15:00 |
| Lobes06 | ok will do, thanks everyone | 15:00 |
| SOURdiesel | i don't understand why the OS is using .2% of swap when the system has access to 8gb of RAM. 64 bit. | 15:00 |
| === hugh is now known as Guest53720 | ||
| Lo_ | Ohmu, Depends what yo're using for audio | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | GNUtoo: dunno; not enough info... what do you mean by mess up? time in the future? | 15:01 |
| GNUtoo | erUSUL, for instance for a text that was written the 2008-11-26 ls shows 2008-11-28 | 15:02 |
| GNUtoo | s/ls/ls -l | 15:02 |
| Sk8rdude | does anyone have any ftpd experience? | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | GNUtoo: well maybe you changed the mode (chmod) or some other operation (chown?) that modifies mtime | 15:03 |
| Joeeb | Hello! | 15:03 |
| GNUtoo | erUSUL, i didn't do that for some time... | 15:04 |
| Joeeb | Mite there be anyone who can give me a bit of advice? | 15:04 |

| sanguisdex | is there a place the that can learn advanced terminal operations? | 15:04 |
| Sk8rdude | does anyone have any ftpd experience? | 15:05 |

| okunnig | I just gotto ask, is there a definite solution to the common nvidia + compiz black flicker problem? | 15:06 |
| Lo_ | Hi all on my personal laptop I have no "real" graphics adapter, so sadly no compiz-fusion... One plug-in I really miss in terms of functionality is the widget layer plug-in (F9)... anyone know of a "non-compiz" alternative/similar app? | 15:06 |
| Sk8rdude | GNUtoo: i'm having problems with a specific ftpd ignoring switches on startup | 15:07 |
| GNUtoo | Sk8rdude, ah ok...i used proftpd long time ago and I don't remember well | 15:07 |
| scientes | how do i make a x509 certificate froma key and a crt? | 15:07 |
| Sk8rdude | okunnig: only to turn off compiz for video | 15:07 |
| n8tuser | Sk8rdude-> how did you verify the ignored switch is not enabled? | 15:08 |
| Sk8rdude | GNUtoo: does pro do virtual users? | 15:08 |
| Sk8rdude | n8tuser: the switch tells the server tthe max user limit is 10... when i log in a second time it fails because the max user limit has been reached | 15:08 |
| neptun | hello everybody!!can someone help me to configure a tv tuner with fm radio on ubuntu ? | 15:08 |
| okunnig | Sk8rdude: well, that kinda sucks, I didn't want to drop compiz now that I'm quite used to it | 15:09 |
| GNUtoo | Sk8rdude, don't remember | 15:09 |
| Joeeb | I have Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. I cant for the life of me get my mic to work. | 15:09 |
| Joeeb | Ive played with all the settings | 15:09 |
| xjkx | where is the default jre home here | 15:09 |
| Sk8rdude | okunnig: there's something you can download which is essentially a switch which you can shortcut to so you only have to turn it off for for video playback | 15:09 |
| n8tuser | Sk8rdude-> could it possibly be another flag thats limiting and not the user limit? like perhaps no 2nd user from same ip address? | 15:10 |
| jatt | how do I boot with an older kernel? I suspect the latest upgrade doesn't detect my sound card I wanna test with an older one. In /boot I see older images | 15:10 |
| blubb | I can't compile ndiswrapper to get bcm working: http://pastebin.com/m464a8521 | 15:10 |
| Sk8rdude | n8tuser: i would agree but that switch is also specified in my startup line at 5 | 15:11 |
| n8tuser | jatt-> there should still be /lib/modules/oldversionheredir/ | 15:11 |
| okunnig | Sk8rdude: Oh, my bad here. I actually have a black flash once in a while no matter what I do, It's not related to video playback nor opengl-applications nor fullscreen modes | 15:11 |
| Sk8rdude | n8tuser: even when i take both switches out of the line and start the server it defaults to 1 when the man says it should be 50 | 15:11 |
| neptun | can someone help me to configure a tv tuner with fm radio on ubuntu ? | 15:12 |
| Sk8rdude | okunnig: no idea then... sorry | 15:12 |
| n8tuser | Sk8rdude-> i dont all the intimate details but i suspect its another flag thats preventing a 2nd log on from same ip | 15:12 |
| posto2 | olá | 15:12 |

| n8tuser | i dont know** | 15:12 |

| Sk8rdude | n8tuser: it doesn't make a difference with ip... ive tried logins from different machines | 15:12 |
| Sk8rdude | n8tuser: can i pm? | 15:13 |
| n8tuser | Sk8rdude-> stay here...what is the pid of that app? | 15:13 |
| dust_t | hi whenever i try to watch a movie trailer in seamonkey from apple.com/trailers, it tells me I need the latest quick time plugin. But once I copy the full url of the .mov file it loads using the mplayer plugin. But when i try doing that with wget it always fails. Any idea why that happens ? | 15:14 |
| n8tuser | Sk8rdude-> try cat /proc/pidofsuch/cmdline and see if the switch is listed | 15:14 |

| kke | can i create some kind of template files in /etc/skel that would be "compiled" when doing useradd? | 15:17 |
| Lo_ | what's a nice GUI application for synchronization/backup? | 15:17 |

| Sk8rdude | n8tuser: 'pure-ftpd (SERVER)' so that would suggest it's not using any switches; yet i know it is using some because one switch defines the port to accept connections which i know is working | 15:20 |
| larry | ok this is my prob using berauso i had the movie's i want than select burn wich take's me to another window to comfirm the burn and than no matter what i select the burn button in that window is grayed out and will not let me burn the dvd | 15:20 |

| mrichman | I just tried to change my hostname and now I get "sudo: unable to resolve host securemail" (securemail is the new hostname) | 15:21 |
| Sk8rdude | rjune_: i specified a port outside the normal range... which it accepts connections on and not the default | 15:21 |

| Sk8rdude | un1que then open nautilus with sudo... theres no other way to do it | 15:22 |
| dr_willis | kke, identd is sort of - rarely used these days.. its considered very insecure i recall. | 15:22 |
| Pupeno | How do I switch to the guest user? | 15:22 |
| dr_willis | Pupeno, when you login to gnome as your normal user, that useragent tool widget has a 'guest' item you can use.. | 15:23 |
| kke | dr_willis: yep. but for example QuakeNET irc-network requires forced idents if you have multiple connections from same ip. | 15:23 |
| larry | if this is not a hlp channel can somone tell me what one is and i will go there | 15:23 |
| Lo_ | what's a nice GUI application for synchronization/backup? | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | kke, easier way.. theres random identd servers that are like 4 lines of perl code.. :) start one as a service.. it will give out random identd responses | 15:24 |

| comradekingu | Last release 8.04 was updated to 8.04.1 | 17:04 |
| muzza | i mean, what is its meaning | 17:04 |
| Defrysk | !lts | 17:04 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 17:04 |

| jZed | i was trying to get my mic to work so maybe i screwed up something | 17:06 |
| comradekingu | IZed: Is the sound there before you load the kernel, in bios for example? | 17:06 |
| jZed | but why should it whine in 8.10 latest kernel but not 8.10 earlier kernel | 17:06 |
| mooglinux | usamahashimi, i recommend going to tomshardware.com and looking at their cpu charts | 17:06 |
| ardchoille | Elmnas: the MD5SUMS file is the md5sum so you can check it against the downloaded iso to make sure the download worked ok | 17:06 |
| ichbinesderelch | aperson1: than just do it like you did in windows, open nautilus, go to direcotry usw.. if you wanna do it in terminal there is the "mv" command, move, then it is mv sourcefiles destination, to move all in a folder try mv * destinationfolder | 17:06 |
| Elmnas | I have a problem , ardchoille I have never learned me to put a iso file to a usb and then make it bootable have any good tutorial for that which I made it from windows | 17:06 |
| mooglinux | but yea, i, pretty sure the core2 would outperform it | 17:06 |
| Elmnas | ok ok | 17:06 |
| jZed | it starts whining as the kernel boots, maybe 10 sec after grub | 17:06 |
| ardchoille | Elmnas: I've never down the usb thing :( | 17:07 |
| usamahashimi | mooglinux: ok, lemme check | 17:07 |

| marek_ | im using ubuntu for 4 years, and i have never had such a problems | 17:38 |
| [maurice] | hello, btw | 17:38 |
| Ahadiel | xiroV, Whatever that program you had uses the same package base as Synatpic. | 17:38 |
| xiroV | Ahadiel, i know.. but someone told me to download it, because i had a problem with gnome-do | 17:38 |
| marek_ | please, can you help me? i googled everywhere, | 17:39 |
| xiroV | Ahadiel, I just downloaded Gnome-Do with Synaptic, but i maybe think that its a older version, than the newest release | 17:39 |
| xmehrba1 | I got an error when try to update | 17:39 |
| Manarion | i have a problem. i installed some updates to the system last night, and after that, my sound card doesn't work anymore. anyone have an idea what the problem might be? | 17:40 |
| Ahadiel | xiroV, try http://getdeb.net see if they have a newer version. | 17:40 |
| Ahadiel | xiroV, Or learn how to compile software and download gnome-do's source. | 17:40 |
| exodus_ms | xmehrbal, what are you trying to update and what is the error? | 17:40 |

| exodus_ms | xmehrba1, what are you trying to update and what is the error? | 17:42 |
| marek_ | gosh, what have you done with (k)ubuntu developers, 8.10 dont work at all and 7.04 works great, it is impossible | 17:42 |
| xmehrba1 | I have solved the problem , I just edited the list, I have another problem | 17:42 |
| exodus_ms | Manarion, Try going to to System->Sound. Under "Device," make sure your sound card is selected. You should also play around with the other settings, mostly "Sound playback." Try, for example, OSS instead of ALSA. If that doesn't work, you can try running "alsamixer" from the terminal. Make sure that everything is on. | 17:42 |
| xmehrba1 | exodus I solved the Update error, but I have another problem,would you please help me | 17:43 |
| exodus_ms | xmehrba1, i can try, what is the problem | 17:44 |

| koljo32m | alami: sudo -i | 18:19 |
| LjL | !root | alami | 18:19 |
| ubottu | alami: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:19 |
| jamil_1 | [maurice], I am still getting the same error | 18:19 |

| Sooke | I have a general question for you. I have been a former C/C++ programer under MS platforms for several years, and now I moved to Ubuntu recently; I want to keep programming but I don't know where can I start from; What tools do we have outthere to program using C/C++? frameworks, gui libraries, etc.. thanks | 19:01 |
| Yahovah | meoblast001: Like I said, it's a defense mechanism. | 19:01 |
| meoblast001 | Yahovah, it doesnt even say [OK] during the restart | 19:01 |
| meoblast001 | nor [Fail] | 19:01 |
| Don | how do i install crossover | 19:01 |
| meoblast001 | and /etc/init.d/init.d/ircd-hybrid start doesnt even line break at the end | 19:01 |
| juro | where can I find out why I can't activate the "Visual Effects"? | 19:02 |
| LjL | jamil_1: have you ever actually installed anything from those "proposed" repositories that you have listed (but currently commented out)? | 19:02 |
| Yahovah | juro: glxinfo | 19:02 |
| Scunizi | Sooke: I don't program but I know that "build-essential" will get you many things that are necessary for the environment that you're trying to work in.. | 19:02 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 19:02 |
| meoblast001 | its letting me in now | 19:02 |
| meoblast001 | nvm | 19:02 |
| meoblast001 | no its not | 19:02 |
| islamux | http://paste.ubuntu.com/78101/plain/ | 19:03 |
| juro | Yahovah, it tells me "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual", what does that mean? | 19:03 |
| islamux | http://paste.ubuntu.com/78101/plain/ | 19:03 |
| meoblast001 | it let me in once and then said.... no more | 19:03 |
| Don | how do i install crossover | 19:03 |
| Yahovah | juro: It means you need to enable glx. | 19:03 |
| meoblast001 | maybe i need to wait for ircd-idiot to figure itself out | 19:03 |
| Sooke | Scunizi, Thanks I will try them; Hoever in MS it was quite normal to user a bunch of "usuall tools" like for example VIsual C, C++Builder, gcc, and that's all, so I wanted to know what are the mos common tools in the same way in Ubuntu/Linux | 19:03 |
| MrBougo | hello... i'm trying to replace gedit with geany but I can't figure out how | 19:03 |
| juro | Yahovah, in my xorg.conf? | 19:04 |
| Yahovah | juro: Yes | 19:04 |
| n8tuser | Sooke-> you can use eclipse as an IDE, qt4 ,tk are for guis | 19:04 |
| Static-- | Don: do you have the install file? | 19:04 |
| juro | Yahovah, hmm, I hope I don't stuff that up - took me hours to get my Dell 2407wfp running at 1920x1200 ... | 19:04 |
| MrBougo | I tried editing ~/.local/share/apps/default.list, no chance... I tried affecting the alternatives with galternatives, no chance either... 'open with "text editor"' is still the first choice I get for opening files | 19:05 |
| Yahovah | juro: Then make a backup. | 19:05 |
| Don | no i neet to download it but where | 19:05 |
| n8tuser | Sooke-> and yes gcc are the basic tools for compilation, autoconf and the Makefile are standards too | 19:05 |
| Sooke | n8tuser, ok, so the option will be gcc as compiler, Eclipse as IDE and qt4 as gui framework right? But what is the difference between qt4 and tk? | 19:05 |
| xscottx3 | anyone know when openoffice 3 will be back up and running for download? | 19:05 |
| ardchoille | MrBougo: right click a text file > Properties > Open With tab ? | 19:06 |
| n8tuser | Sooke-> i dont know the pertinent details qt4 vs tk | 19:06 |
| MrBougo | ardchoille, it does not remember my choice | 19:06 |
| Sooke | Also here is another quesiton I come up with, what about "visual" tools like C++ Builder for example? Is there something simmilar in Linux? | 19:06 |
| juro | Yahovah, I would have assumed that the load option 'glx' loads lgx ..... http://pastebin.com/d628cb21b | 19:06 |

| MrBougo | ok ardchoille that was just silly | 19:09 |
| MrBougo | ardchoille, went into the properties, "open with" and selected geany | 19:09 |
| n8tuser | Sooke-> umm checkout eclipse with plugins for c and cross compilations perhaps | 19:09 |
| MrBougo | I would like to know where these associations are stored though... | 19:10 |

| Eurysilas | ikonia: Well, that's the only thing I have to go on. And as far as Xinerama, it quite clearly shows in my logs that it is enabling it. | 20:50 |
| ikonia | !engvyng | Devourer | 20:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about engvyng | 20:50 |
| exodus_ms | Ddevourer, you can use 'lspci' or 'lspci | grep VGA' to get details about the card you want to setup and see if there are any additional drivers you will need to install | 20:51 |
| LjL | wos: yes, that's one of its purpose. the other is to update the modification date of an existing file without actually changing anything in the file (that's what it name comes from, it "touches" files) | 20:51 |
| ferronica | ikonia: kernel 2.6.27-9 not listed in my menu.lst | 20:51 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: are you sure it's not loading the xinerma extension | 20:51 |
| ikonia | ferronica: manually add it ? | 20:51 |
| ferronica | ikonia: will it work? | 20:51 |
| wos | i see, thanks | 20:51 |
| ikonia | ferronica: should do | 20:51 |
| Devourer | exodus_ms, alright. :) | 20:51 |
| Devourer | ikonia, what other supported methods should I try first? | 20:51 |
| ChrisStone | Im so lost with Ubuntu. | 20:52 |
| ikonia | Devourer: what video card do you actually have | 20:52 |
| ChrisStone | I dont know where to go next, | 20:52 |
| ikonia | ChrisStone: what's the problem | 20:52 |
| dime | hi... i really need help atm... my raid just went down | 20:52 |
| ferronica | ikonia: ok, i will give you my menu.lst output append it | 20:52 |
| Devourer | ikonia, I don't know the exact kind but it's some ATI card. | 20:52 |
| ChrisStone | Well im a complete noob... And im just totally lost. | 20:52 |
| Devourer | ikonia, Radeon I think. | 20:52 |
| ikonia | ferronica: I dont need to see it | 20:52 |
| LjL | !documentation | ChrisStone | 20:53 |

| ikonia | dime: what type of raid, software / hardware, raid 0, 1, 5 ? | 20:53 |
| dime | software 5 | 20:53 |
| ChrisStone | okay thanks | 20:53 |
| ikonia | dime: as in mdadm built array ? | 20:53 |
| ChrisStone | ill check that out | 20:53 |
| dime | yeah | 20:53 |
| Eurysilas | ikonia: There's a difference? All I know is, in the bug report I looked at, it said two things worked; uninstalling Compiz, or disabling Xinerama (can't remember if it was extension or what). So, is there a way to disable the extension? | 20:53 |

| R0b0t1 | For some reason I am unable to right click inside programs (except the desktop) and the menus at the top (File, View, etc) will not open. Does anyone have a clue what happened? | 20:53 |
| Devourer | ikonia, haha, thanks. | 20:53 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: you don't need to disable the extension, it's part of the xserver | 20:53 |
| R0b0t1 | It is possible for me to right click on the desktop, it is not my mous. | 20:53 |
| ikonia | Devourer: what's so funny ? | 20:53 |
| ChrisStone | whoever created ubottu is a genius! | 20:54 |
| unkmar_ | hello all. | 20:54 |
| Eurysilas | ikonia: Well, then I'm screwed. I have no clue why my XServer locks, then. | 20:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | Does anybody in here use openSUSE along with Ubuntu? I know its an odd question, but I'm just trying to implement a menu similar to the one in 11.0 | 20:54 |
| unkmar_ | I have a sok question. Simple Onscreen Keyboard. | 20:54 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: what video card do you have ? | 20:54 |
| Devourer | ikonia, just using ubottu and your 1337 skillz at answering 5 people's questions at the same time. | 20:54 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: i would try it at least if you need it badly, , i suppose envyNG is the best guess if tyou have ati or Nivida graphics card but than again the program is not tested on all graphics card but a good try i would say but as someone have told me it is on your own risk ... | 20:54 |
| calebH | GodfatherofEire: have you tried installing gnome-main-menu ? | 20:55 |
| ikonia | Devourer: check the ati document I sent you before using envyng | 20:55 |
| Devourer | matthias_, I'll read the Ubuntu site first and then if that stuff doesn't work I'll try envyNG. | 20:55 |
| GodfatherofEire | calebH, it already is installed | 20:55 |
| Devourer | ikonia, yes, I will. Thanks. | 20:55 |
| ikonia | Devourer: however, just be aware ati support is terrible on linux in general | 20:55 |
| Devourer | ikonia, I've heard about that. I hope it works. | 20:56 |
| gpled | how can i load the sound drivers for ES1983S ? | 20:56 |
| calebH | GodfatherofEire: have you added it to your panel? | 20:56 |
| leohartx | how do i install virtualbox on 64bit system ? | 20:56 |
| heret1c | Eurysilas: reboot in recovery mode, choose "try to fix x-server"? | 20:56 |
| R0b0t1 | For some reason I am unable to right click inside programs (except the desktop) and the menus at the top (File, View, etc) will not open. Does anyone have a clue what happened? It is not my mouse -- it works fine. | 20:56 |
| Eurysilas | ikonia: Well, I THOUGHT it was an Intel i810, but X Server reports 845 GE (intel). In any case, I already tried specifying explicitly the chipset. No go. | 20:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | calebH, I guess i didnt notice that there were 2 separate entries for main menu | 20:56 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: i think you do the right thing, if nothing helps you and you know for sure it is an ATI or nivida give it a try and see if it works ... | 20:56 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: ok, thats good | 20:56 |
| unkmar_ | sok, AKA onboard. Works wonderfully under ubuntu, i even created my own layout. I'm having problems with the copy/version thet is on fluxbuntu. Any ideas? | 20:56 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: so i810 is an intel driver (generic) nothing more, so don't worry about that | 20:56 |
| zsquareplusc | leohartx: you can apt-get install virtualbox-se | 20:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | calebH, at install, there was only 1, now there's 2, so I guess I'm set | 20:56 |
| zsquareplusc | leohartx: you can apt-get install virtualbox-ose, that is | 20:56 |
| heret1c | R0b0t1: did u restart x? | 20:57 |
| calebH | GodfatherofEire: yup. And if you want the search box to appear you need to have beagle installed - FYI | 20:57 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: what I'd do is a) boot into safe mode and test teh vesa X server, b.) change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to change the linx Driver "i810" to Driver "intel" | 20:57 |
| unkmar_ | it worsk: but it appears to be ignoring the font size settings in the keyboard layout file. | 20:57 |
| eugman | I'd like to record a video of me using my desktop. Any suggestions for a tool to do that? | 20:57 |
| GodfatherofEire | Thanks calebH | 20:57 |
| Eurysilas | ikonia: It's already using the Intel driver. | 20:57 |
| calebH | GodfatherofEire: np. Enjoy! | 20:57 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: i thought you said it was using the i810 ? | 20:57 |
| Eurysilas | ikonia: I changed it. But no improvement, so it's back to "Intel". | 20:58 |
| freyyr | hi, I just upgraded to intrepid and now i'm having issues compiling. ./configure is throwing the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" | 20:58 |
| cdeszaq | Does anyone know where I can go to get help figuring out why my Audigy2 7.1 sound card will test OK over all speakers, but will only play over the front left and right? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: well, leave it with intel for now, and test eh vesa driver | 20:58 |
| freyyr | build-essential is installed and worked just fine before the upgrade. | 20:58 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: if it locks with the vesa driver, there is something very wrong | 20:58 |
| R0b0t1 | heret1c: What is the command for that? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | freyyr: gcc -v | 20:59 |
| Eurysilas | ikonia: OK, but with that, I don't get my log out screen. And logging out produces a bland screen, not the "Log In" screen. Or, it did on Gutsy. | 20:59 |
| Eurysilas | *blank | 21:00 |
| ikonia | Eurysilas: what version are you using now ? | 21:00 |
| heret1c | R0b0t1: ctrl-alt-backspace. but you'll loose yr current work. | 21:00 |

| wos | how do i remove a package box option from my package menu anyone? | 21:01 |
| dime | when they went down | 21:01 |
| ikonia | freyyr: what are you trying to build ? | 21:01 |
| dime | so at first, it just said i/o error so i did a reboot | 21:02 |
| dime | when i did, i got a bunch of ata3.0 errors (/dev/sdd) | 21:02 |
| dime | so i unplugged that drive | 21:02 |
| dime | but /dev/sdf might have been doing ok | 21:02 |
| Apthar | thx | 21:02 |
| ikonia | dime: looks like a disk failure sdf isn't looking good | 21:02 |
| gpled | exodus_ms: yep. not sure what 8.10 did to the drivers | 21:02 |
| freyyr | ikonia: idjc (internet DJ console). the one in the repos isn't built with mp3 encoding. | 21:02 |
| dime | when it booted, i did cat /proc/mdstat and it showed md1: inactive with all 5 drives with [S] for spare? | 21:03 |
| ikonia | freyyr: check out the "config.log" or "configure.log" to see the res thats failing | 21:03 |
| ikonia | dime: that will happen yes | 21:03 |
| dime | so i did mdadm --stop md1 and now when i try to mdadm --assemble | 21:03 |
| dime | it says it can't start with 4 devices | 21:03 |

| ikonia | dime: how full was the data on it ? | 21:03 |
| dime | it was ~ 1.1tb used out of 2.5 | 21:04 |
| freyyr | ikonia: ah thanks, i got it, my CFLAGS had the wrong syntax and it was throwing an error so ./configure thought it couldn't produce binaries. | 21:04 |
| heret1c | anyone have experience with how to make amule stop crashing for no apparent reason? have rtfm'ed, to no avail.? | 21:04 |
| dime | sde and sdf were added later and the raid was grown from 1.5tb -> 2.0tb -> 2.5tb | 21:04 |
| ikonia | freyyr: nice spot | 21:04 |
| ikonia | freyyr: check your CXX_FLAGS too | 21:04 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: use sudo lshw and look thru the long list for vga controller and see if the card is visible to the computer ... | 21:04 |
| ikonia | dime: interesting, try using --build instead of assemble | 21:04 |
| Devourer | matthias_, it's not. :\ | 21:04 |
| ikonia | dime: as it won't be able to "assemble" the current raid 5 with a disk missing | 21:05 |
| ikonia | dime: or use mdadm to mark a disk as failed | 21:05 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: is it not what???? do sudo lshw and look for display ... | 21:05 |
| ikonia | dime: eg: your config still wants 5 disks and you've got 4 - you need to mark one as failed so it knows to expec 4 | 21:05 |
| Devourer | matthias_, so I'm wondering if I should disable my integrated graphics card... also, I don't know what I did when that configuration menu came up when I was first trying it. | 21:05 |
| dime | well, since sdd was causing my system not to boot, i unplugged it | 21:05 |
| Devourer | matthias_, only my integrated graphics card is displayed. | 21:05 |
| dime | so i'm already at 5/6 | 21:06 |
| dime | plugged in atm | 21:06 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: have to be an easy way to enable it, let me do some research and see if ai can help you ... | 21:06 |
| dime | wouldn't 4/6 just not give me anything? | 21:06 |
| Devourer | matthias_, alright. | 21:06 |
| dime | as i understand it 4/6 raid 5 is a total loss | 21:06 |
| Devourer | matthias_, I need to reboot, but I'll be right back. | 21:06 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: before you do anything let me see if i can find anything ... | 21:06 |
| ikonia | dime: you "may" get away with it | 21:06 |
| ikonia | dime: hence why I asked how full it was | 21:06 |
| Devourer | matthias_, ok. | 21:07 |
| gpled | exodus_ms: looks like ubuntuforums.org is having proxy problems | 21:07 |
| dime | i may hold out to see if i can possibly recover the data on the disk maybe | 21:07 |
| ikonia | dime: your call | 21:07 |
| dime | because with how r5 is, all the data has to be equallly distributed on the drives | 21:07 |
| dime | i think | 21:07 |

| webBuilder | :( | 21:10 |
| webBuilder | that one does just colors | 21:10 |
| exodus_ms | gpled, did you have a working sound card before updating to 8.10 | 21:10 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: you can manually map names to ips in /etc/hosts | 21:10 |
| zigovr3 | hi all, I don't know why but some files have been installed with the wrong permission by ubuntu (8.04), for example , I can't do "crontab -e", how can I repair that ? | 21:10 |

| gpled | exodus_ms: yep | 21:11 |
| makario | gnutron, zsquareplusc: Thanks. Now, what if I want the same host to have two IP's? (One on a local network, and one using an external IP?) | 21:12 |

| Narani | hello! can anyone tell mehow to open ports? ufw shows that they are open, but nmap still shows them closed??? | 21:12 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: then you need 2 names. like host and host-ext | 21:12 |
| Anpack | whats the best distro/window manager (for HD install) that is fast, people say ubuntu with fluxbox, etc is fast but it takes few mintues to load up a browser even thats not fast. | 21:13 |
| makario | zsquareplusc All right, that's not too much of a hassle. Thanks! | 21:13 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: hey maybe found something ... | 21:13 |
| zsquareplusc | mariusb: /etc/hosts work only on the pc your on. you need a DNS entry if you want worldwide names. there are free services for that | 21:13 |
| Devourer | matthias_, alright. :) What is it? | 21:13 |
| rmitchell | Ampack: the broswer's speed is completely seperate from the window manager | 21:14 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: see this page and see if it applies to you: | 21:14 |
| gnutron | makario: two nics and some fancy iptables rules. possibly other ways. try googling that. | 21:14 |

| Devourer | matthias_, I don't think my ATI card is seen at all, I tried lspci like that other guy did, but I don't see anything but the Intel stuff. I do see my sound card though which is not integrated. I'm pleased that my sound card works so well. | 21:17 |
| nhasian | can someone recommend an HTML editor? bascially i need to have one window show the html code while the other window shows the output like frontpage did. | 21:17 |

| rmitchell | anpack: what kind of hardware do you have? | 21:19 |
| Devourer | matthias_, no, it did.. well... It's weird. Since I put it in, and when I start up my computer, my computer will try and start, I can hear the fan, but then it'll turn off, and then it'll try to start again, and it does this about 2 times before actually starting. | 21:19 |

| floreLG | i have a question about grub--- the linux core has been updating regularly and I have three older versions amongst the boot possibilities. Will these eventually disappear or will I end up with a long list of linux kernels? | 21:29 |
| CaMason_ | Anyone know of a reason why my static IP assignment would keep reverting back to dynamic on reboot? 8.10 | 21:29 |
| * Eurysilas guesses ikonia is MIA. | 21:30 | |
| Flannel | wos: rmdir | 21:30 |
| guntbert | wos: I suggest you try google, there are great tutorials for bash; | 21:30 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: how are you setting it to static? | 21:30 |
| sporkboy | is there a way I can make closing my lid not shut off screen1 (but still shut off screen0) on my laptop? | 21:30 |
| matthias_ | what file is ATI catalyst control cenbter use to get screen resolution when i connect my TV ??? | 21:30 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: right clicking the network icon, edit connections, clicking my 'Auto eth0' in wired | 21:30 |
| Flannel | floreLG: You'll end up with a long list, you can remove the old ones by remove their respective linux-image-[version] packages with your favorite package manager. It's always a good idea to keep one known good one around. | 21:31 |
| Devourer | matthias_, back. I'm in low-graphics mode or something like that. | 21:31 |
| exodus_ms | gpled, have you tried installing following package 'sudo killall pulseaudio' 'sudo alsa force-reload' and then go to System>Preferences>Sound and change everything to ALSA | 21:31 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: -> IPv4, changing to static, clicking add, putting in IP settings. The new IP works. Reboot -> back to static D: | 21:31 |
| matthias_ | Devourer: but on the 2:nd graphics card right ... | 21:31 |
| Devourer | matthias_, like, I had my monitor plugged in to the ATI graphics card, but my monitor stayed blank, so I plugged it back into my integrated grahpics card and I can see the low-graphics version. | 21:31 |
| floreLG | that easy---- synaptic will do the trick then.... thanks | 21:31 |
| gpled | exodus_ms: think all that is for people who have their sound drivers loaded | 21:31 |

| rootsnatch | CaMason_: hmmm that should work, have you tried doing it manually in the text files? | 21:32 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: not sure how to :) | 21:32 |
| gpled | exodus_ms: i can not find the module to load | 21:32 |
| zsquareplusc | CaMason: do you have an old entry in /et/network/interfaces? | 21:32 |
| ircmonk | bring back xmms!!!!! | 21:32 |
| matthias_ | type sudo lshw and look for the test starting with *display | 21:32 |
| CaMason_ | zsquareplusc: that file contains 2 lines.. 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback' | 21:32 |
| zsquareplusc | ircmonk: audacity with refugee skin ;-) | 21:32 |
| matthias_ | so i can see what type of graphics card you are using, i guess intel ... | 21:32 |
| ircmonk | audacity wont work with streamtuner | 21:33 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: google static ip and /etc/network in google | 21:33 |
| zsquareplusc | CaMason_ thats fine then if you want to use the network manager | 21:33 |
| rootsnatch | you will have to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file | 21:33 |
| exodus_ms | gpled, can you not load the maestro3 module, be it OSS or alsa? | 21:34 |
| Devourer | matthias_, it says this under display. ' product: 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller' | 21:34 |

| WIGGMPk | Anyone know how to flip the image of a webcam using the uvcvideo driver.. I tried looking online with no real good answer other then changing the driver source and recompiling | 21:35 |

| Devourer | matthias_, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system and nothing else is showing up in the list. | 21:35 |
| matthias_ | ubuntu will then try to figure iut what driver to use and activate the graphics card if not activated already ... | 21:35 |
| Devourer | matthias_, nothing is showing up. :o I hope the grahpics card isn't broken either. Lol. I looked at the gold connectors on it, and it looks like a few were chipped or soemthing, but I"m not sure if that is how it's suppored to be. | 21:36 |

| MrCollins | umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy.' How can I open my disk tray in order to put in another cd so i can finish installing diablo 2? | 21:50 |
| makario | zsquareplusc It's an audio workstation for my church. The random people who use the account that automatically logs in. I could go the route of a separate account, I guess, but I'd still need it secured. How does one encrypt data? | 21:50 |
| soulc | blah | 21:51 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: there are several ways. you can encrypt single files (nautlis encrypt, gnupg) or partitions or loop mounted disk images (loop-aes) | 21:51 |
| rmitchell | makario, it might be enough just to set the permissions so that only you can read/write | 21:52 |
| CaMason_ | OK, i managed to set a static IP via /etc/network/interfaces. However, my nameservers wont stick in resolv.conf when I reboot :o | 21:52 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: but multiple people that access the data is not so easy. | 21:52 |
| retro__ | anyone know, is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 supported (and working with 3d apps) ? | 21:52 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: still? hmm have you googled for static ip in intrepid? | 21:53 |
| soulc | ok can someone explain to me why cron won't execute a perl script inside a shell script? | 21:53 |
| milos_ | makario, http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2008/10/what-in-my-encrypted-private-directory.html | 21:53 |
| MrCollins | I found out I had to cd out of the dir | 21:53 |
| makario | zsquareplusc, Which encryption way is the best? I'd just put it all in a folder, say "Videos" or "Music" and lock down the folder. rmitchell I'd still be able to stream, though, right? What if I used, say, a mediatomb? | 21:53 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: if you are the only one with root access, using file permissions can also help, so that others can not look at your files. but someone that can boot a live cd can access them | 21:53 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: yes most say to add the IP etc via the interfaces file, then add the nameserver to resolv.conf. I do that, but the resolv.conf file keeps getting trimmed! | 21:53 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: it looks like that might be a bug in intrepid | 21:53 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: yes it seems so | 21:54 |
| MrCollins | CaMason_, what are you permissions looking like in resolv.conf | 21:54 |
| soulc | boy this is good stuff | 21:54 |
| guntbert | soulc: what are you trying to do? | 21:55 |
| makario | (Thanks milos_. I'll look into that. I'm using Hardy, though.) | 21:55 |
| CaMason_ | MrCollins: -rw-r--r-- | 21:55 |
| soulc | I want to know why cron won't execute a perl script inside a shell script | 21:55 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: that seems normal | 21:55 |
| makario | zsquareplusc, I'm not. The default account (the one that automatically logs in) also has adminstrative privileges. | 21:55 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: with ecryptfs (creates a Private folder) partitions and loop-aes you need to have the files mounted to access them. the file permissions (should) ensure that no one else on the box sees these files | 21:55 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: ummmmmm lemme look around | 21:55 |
| soulc | I will binpaste the fifile | 21:55 |
| MrCollins | CaMason_, yeah what rootsnatch said,.... | 21:55 |
| CaMason_ | here's the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/259214 | 21:55 |

| zsquareplusc | makario: it's going to be difficult if an oter user has admin rights too.. | 21:57 |
| makario | zsquareplusc, Okay, plan change. What is the best way to hide a folder on the default account, and still allow "system users" to access it? It doesn't have to be ultra-secure, most of the people around here aren't too tech-savvy. | 21:59 |

| ubottu | Arkael: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 21:59 |
| zsquareplusc | makario: you can create a folder somewhere and use the file permissions. you can create a separate group for all non admin users that are allowed to use it. but each users needs his own account | 22:00 |

| Flannel | mrwes: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this isn't a chat channel, thanks. | 22:10 |
| mrwes | Flannel: ok,,, what are the steps I need to take to compile a kernel? | 22:11 |
| Flannel | !kernel | mrwes | 22:11 |
| ubottu | mrwes: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 22:11 |
| mrwes | Flannel, but I want to anyhow | 22:11 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: turns out, if I unticked 'System Setting's, then closed, then re-ticked it.. it sticks | 22:11 |
| Flannel | mrwes: that's fine. That page will explain how to. | 22:12 |
| MrCollins | Flannel, how do I copy a file from a cdrom to a wine directory | 22:12 |
| mrwes | MrCollins, how's your box running? | 22:12 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: hahah really? | 22:12 |
| MrCollins | mrwes, how do you mean? | 22:12 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: good googling! | 22:12 |
| philjo | Anybody got any ideas why I can't get ubuntu to install? | 22:12 |
| CaMason_ | rootsnatch: yup, it was hidden as a comment in the bug report :D | 22:12 |
| mrwes | MrCollins, cp /mnt/cdrom ~/Drive_c | 22:12 |
| mrwes | maybe | 22:13 |
| MrCollins | so thats cp /mnt/cdrom (space) ~/Drive_c | 22:13 |
| rootsnatch | CaMason_: that is ridiculous, I hope someone makes a patch this is intrepid right? | 22:13 |
| mrwes | Flannel, danke sehr for the link | 22:13 |

| Meshezabeel | if I want to reinstall the new version of ubuntu, can I just keep my home directory, then on installation use the same user name, and it will automatically connect to my existing home directory? | 22:13 |
| Flannel | MrCollins: ~/.wine/drive_c I believe. | 22:13 |
| MrCollins | Flannel, thank you | 22:13 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, do you have /home on a separate partition? | 22:14 |
| Flannel | MrCollins: But you can do it through nautilus too. Just drag stuff | 22:14 |
| Meshezabeel | mrwes, yes | 22:14 |
| MrCollins | Flannel, oh ok :) thanks | 22:14 |
| philjo | can you guys see my messages? | 22:14 |
| Flannel | MrCollins: In your home folder, hit ctrl-h to see hidden files, then you'll see .wine | 22:14 |
| frog_ | a sound in skype doesn't work for me. i ave tried to change it in options(i can choose: HDA NVidia(hw: NVidia1, hw: NVidia0, plughw: NVidia1, plughw: NVidia0), nut no matter what i choose i hear nothing | 22:14 |
| IcyStorm | I need to install this module, and I've downloaded the module source package. I'm reading the instructions on what to do, but terminal keeps saying the package doesn't exist. Do I have to place the .deb in a certain location? | 22:14 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, then yes, although you'll have to reinstall the software packages you added | 22:14 |
| Flannel | philjo: yes | 22:14 |
| philjo | ok thx | 22:14 |
| MrCollins | Flannel, thank you again sir | 22:14 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, the config files will be saved in /home though | 22:15 |
| Meshezabeel | awesome, thanks mrwes | 22:15 |
| mrwes | sir? | 22:15 |
| mrwes | wow! | 22:15 |
| philjo | I've tried a few different CDs, and I always get dumped at Initramfs [70.076906] end_requqest: I/O error , dev sr0 , sector 1431176 [70.076934] Buffer I/O error on sr0 , logical block 178897. Anyone got any ideas why I can't install? | 22:15 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, you doing an upgrade or fresh installation? | 22:15 |
| retro_ | philjo: maybe Cd reader is broken | 22:15 |
| mrwes | Flannel, one more slightly off topic thing....ROLL TIDE! | 22:16 |
| mrwes | heh | 22:16 |
| Meshezabeel | mrwes, fresh install | 22:16 |
| philjo | pretty sure it's some kind of argument with my system. Just wondering if it's memory, or the SATA drives it doesn't like | 22:16 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, good. | 22:16 |
| sere | anyone know y steam wont connect to the net but it works fine in windows | 22:16 |
| Meshezabeel | mrwes, upgrades scare me ;) | 22:16 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, yah me too...never had good luck with'em | 22:16 |
| retro_ | sere: maybe firewall | 22:16 |
| sere | retro_, it just stopped ...was working fine | 22:17 |
| chrismurf | I'm trying to remove "Suspend" from the list of shutdown options, without success. I've set can_suspend to false in gconf, but it's still showing. Any ideas? | 22:17 |
| philjo | is there supposed to be some kind of partition manager or something for doing fresh installs? | 22:17 |
| Flannel | philjo: there is. During the install you'll have a chance to partition | 22:18 |
| philjo | ok I guess I'm crashing out before I get to that. All I see is the logo and the bar bouncing around, then I get dropped with the initramfs error | 22:18 |
| Meshezabeel | mrwes, so I should keep my /home and swap partitions, or should I just get rid of swap too, or does it matter? | 22:18 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, keep the swap | 22:18 |
| Killer--Tux | i added firerstarter to the startup but when i turn on my pc it tell me firestarter dosent have privileges and closes | 22:19 |
| Flannel | philjo: Try choosing the "check CD for defects" line, does that work? | 22:19 |
| mrwes | Meshezabeel, make sure you only format the / partition and not /home | 22:19 |
| paolo | hi. I can't hear sounds anymore... an error has occoured with the audio, some days ago, and now I dunno how to restore the situation.... | 22:19 |

| Meshezabeel | hmmm | 22:20 |
| philjo | I'll go shut off my raid,0 and leave the SATA in RAID in the BIOS... I heard that worked for someone | 22:21 |

| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, since ubuntu has a live disc you can try it out without installing it on your computer | 22:24 |
| amh | ubuntu 8.10 startx returns exec 5: /usr/bin/x11/x: not found | 22:25 |
| amh | xinit : Server Error | 22:25 |
| MrCollins | !diablo2 | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about diablo2 | 22:25 |
| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, so yeah, ubuntu would be a good choice as long as you get the live disc, you might also want to try out some other distro live discs to see what suits you best | 22:25 |
| amh | how do i fix this? | 22:25 |
| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, what are your intentions for checking out linux, that might help you figure out what distro is best for you | 22:25 |
| benzss | good evening fellows | 22:26 |
| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, also know that running from a live disc loads everything to ram, so will run slower than if it is installed on your computer, so check how much ram you have to make sure you can run the live disc decently. | 22:26 |

| forcumang | amh: gdm is gnome desktop management | 22:29 |
| forcumang | you have no desktop | 22:29 |
| forcumang | therefore no gdm | 22:29 |
| amh | is that why im getting no startx? | 22:29 |
| gnutron | amh: restart not retsart right? typo? | 22:30 |
| forcumang | no, that's why gdm doesn't work | 22:30 |

| forcumang | ikonia: he just answered that | 22:30 |
| amh | ikonia: im using server. | 22:30 |
| j0nr | can i access a share on my ubuntu machine from a windows mobile device? As a means of easily transfering data wirelessly | 22:30 |
| ikonia | forcumang: I didn't see that | 22:30 |
| berobero | need some help using nut to connect UPS on ttySx | 22:30 |
| ikonia | amh: why are you using the server version ? | 22:30 |
| forcumang | amh: ...if you're trying to restart, use sudo reboot | 22:31 |
| amh | ikonia: for the servers.. | 22:31 |
| ikonia | amh: the desktop version is targed at home user hardawre | 22:31 |
| ikonia | amh: the desktop version is a fine server and can run anything the server version can | 22:31 |
| amh | forcumang: im not sure what im trying to do.. i just want to get into gnome.. | 22:31 |
| ikonia | amh: I suggest you install the desktop version | 22:31 |
| forcumang | amh: then you need to install desktop ubuntu | 22:31 |
| amh | forcumang: when did this become a requirement for desktop in server? last i used 6.06 server i didnt have this problem at all? | 22:32 |
| mrwes | amh: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 22:32 |
| amh | ok, i need to disconnect this computer to move net over to the ubuntu machine. is there anything else i should try before i go? | 22:32 |
| mrwes | is tired | 22:32 |
| KB1OHY | I upgraded from Hardy to intrepid and now my wireless doesn't work... is there a link I cna check out so I can fix the problem? | 22:32 |
| forcumang | amh: GDM doesn't exist in server only... | 22:32 |
| ikonia | amh: the desktop version is aimed at home user hardware, things like wirless drivers etc etc | 22:32 |
| mrwes | amh: pray? | 22:33 |
| mrwes | heh | 22:33 |
| ikonia | amh: I would strongly suggest you install the desktop version of ubuntu | 22:33 |
| amh | that's exactly what i upgraded for.. wireless drivers... | 22:33 |
| amh | ok, ill do desktop. | 22:33 |
| ikonia | amh: then the desktop version is %100 the install you should be using | 22:33 |
| forcumang | meh | 22:33 |

| mrwes | Giggsteve8, sh00t | 22:34 |
| forcumang | also, server edition runs a lot better on older comps with no gfx cards | 22:34 |
| forcumang | faster* | 22:34 |
| Meshezabeel | Giggsteve8, not if you don't ask your question | 22:34 |

| antoranz | Guys! I'm having problems with the keyboard on X | 22:35 |
| Giggsteve8 | The laptop is an ancient IBM thinkpad, found it in my room. When i boot for the CD I burned, it says the bios is 1999 | 22:35 |
| ikonia | forcumang: yes it is, the Xorg installed on the server is the same as the desktop | 22:35 |
| antoranz | on the VTs, the keyboard is perfect | 22:35 |
| Giggsteve8 | and ubuntu needs 2000... but then it starts to load, then hangs after a bit on a screen with a cursor | 22:35 |
| mrwes | Forcumang: so does puppy | 22:35 |
| mohammed | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 22:35 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | Giggsteve8: you might want to consider installing Xubuntu. It runs a lot better on low resource machiens. | 22:35 |

| mrwes | forcumang, | 22:36 |
| Giggsteve8 | Right after the boot menu | 22:36 |
| Giggsteve8 | after I hit install Ubuntu | 22:36 |
| forcumang | i was just writing an example but found its not really a good one | 22:36 |
| Giggsteve8 | that's the first text that pops up | 22:36 |
| ethana2 | I'm dual booting 8.04 and 8.10, but when I get kernel updates in 8.04, it never applies them | 22:36 |
| forcumang | when i was using desktop in VMWare, it was complete crap, because VMWare has no graphics | 22:37 |
| ethana2 | I have to dual boot because one has features and the other has stability.. | 22:37 |
| ikonia | ethana2: probably because your not using a shared /boot partition | 22:37 |
| Meshezabeel | Giggsteve8, it says "Ubuntu requires the 2000 version of the bios" ??? | 22:37 |
| ethana2 | ikonia: I think I'd have to wipe my Dell Utility partition.. | 22:37 |

| ethana2 | well I'm at my limit of 4 | 22:37 |
| ethana2 | for this MBR type | 22:37 |

| sd32 | whats the name of the third party nvidia driver installer software? | 22:46 |
| Chappy5 | hey gang | 22:46 |
| mumbles | so i bofught 2 new ones | 22:46 |
| ikonia | mrwes: please join #ubuntu-ops | 22:46 |
| irpapabear | hello all | 22:46 |
| ravalox | Okay, installed 8.10 and am having no luck getting sound to work | 22:47 |
| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, for programming? not unless you use a specific compiler/ide that you like, but truthfully, I like programming much better in linux as it is more or less built in | 22:47 |
| rendero | no connection by browsers in a lan pc, only using squid, what is the problem ? | 22:47 |
| ravalox | Is there a rosetta stone for this or do I need to just install Fedora 10? | 22:47 |
| Devourer | ikonia, I figured out what graphics card I have but lspci isn't show it. | 22:47 |
| Stargazer | how do i sync my external hard drive with amarok ? i wanna move all my music i have in amarok to an extrenal hard drive. | 22:48 |
| PeskyJ | I have a problem when using kino (video editing), sometimes it goes wrong and I hear the last ~200ms of audio repeated constantly and I can't stop it. I think the problem is in ALSA, I have tried /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart (and stop then start) but the buffer keeps repeating even when ALSA is restarted - any ideas how to clear it so I don't have to reboot? | 22:48 |
| Meshezabeel | ravalox, rosetta stone teaches you human languages | 22:48 |
| === Joshua_Merrell is now known as Eggbert | ||
| * mumbles wonders where hes going wrong | 22:48 | |
| === Eggbert is now known as Eggbertx | ||
| Meshezabeel | ravalox, or do you mean manual? | 22:48 |
| ravalox | Some set of instructions, I removed pulse to see if that was the issue | 22:49 |
| alex_21 | I am on a Mac network and need to find something that visually looks like ITunes and allows for daap music receiving from my Firefly server. Does such a thing exits? | 22:49 |
| ravalox | it wasn't | 22:49 |
| heret1c | !amule | 22:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amule | 22:49 |
| Chappy5 | anyone know how to force ruptime to add hosts to /var/spool/rwho. ? | 22:49 |
| alex_21 | Exist, sorry | 22:49 |
| heret1c | hah. | 22:49 |
| thorsten_ | Ive the edition www.ultimateedition.info, its very easy, only the xsane doesn't recognize my lide 100 from Canon | 22:49 |
| thorsten_ | scanner | 22:50 |
| Stargazer | how do i sync amarok with an external hard drive ? | 22:50 |
| thorsten_ | For Torrents | 22:50 |
| sloggerkhan | alex_21: rhythmbox, amarok, banshee? | 22:50 |
| sd32 | !nvidia | 22:50 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:50 |
| berobero | is there a special serial cable necessary for ups-pc connection ? or a regular rs232 would work ? | 22:50 |
| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, any other apps you use on windows that you know aren't on linux? | 22:50 |
| irpapabear | likes amarok, hasn't tried banshee | 22:51 |
| ethana2 | Dell said I could wipe it | 22:51 |
| alex_21 | So, Amarock, Rockbox, Banshee, I am blind, so which one looks visually most like ITunes? | 22:51 |
| thorsten_ | Amarok is superb | 22:51 |
| ikonia | ethana2: please stop discussing dell - I asked you a few minutes ago | 22:51 |
| HRshovinstuff | is anyone familiar with the renice command? | 22:51 |
| NeoChivers | Im having Problems setting up any version of ubuntu with my XFX 7600TXT .. its okay, pre-bbot but when it attempts to load the driver for my card it spazzes and shows green vertical lines on my screen ... any help is apperciated? | 22:51 |
| ethana2 | ikonia: sorry, how about this: How do I get a version of Ubuntu with debug symbols compiled in? | 22:52 |
| Phoenix87 | bye! | 22:52 |
| irpapabear | thorsten have ya tired banshee? | 22:52 |
| ikonia | ethana2: strip the binaries | 22:52 |
| ikonia | ethana2: why does debug symbols matter to you ? | 22:52 |
| KB1OHY | !wireless | 22:52 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 22:52 |
| mmarcelo | Meshezabeel hmm... maybe. but i guess i'll probably find equivalent ones for linux. | 22:52 |
| thorsten_ | Amarok you must for your hard drive, i look how its named, a moment | 22:52 |
| sloggerkhan | alex_21: rockbox is for ipods. Rhythmbox is installed in ubuntu by default. Banshee's latest version is interesting because it has video library, but the vid library is lame because it uses gstreamer, not something useful like mplayer, and amarok is kde-style. | 22:53 |
| ethana2 | ikonia: because when stuff crashes I run it in gdb, and it always says 'no debug symbols found' (x100) then 'oh, by the way, this app crashed | 22:53 |
| ikonia | ethana2: oh, you want it WITH debug symbols in | 22:53 |
| ethana2 | ikonia: yes | 22:53 |
| ikonia | ethana2: sorry, I miss-read | 22:53 |
| adub | i am trying to login to my ssh server i just setup | 22:53 |
| adub | shouldnt the pass be what the password is on the given box im trying to login to | 22:53 |
| ikonia | ethana2: there are normally packages with debug sybols in the repo, eg: core-utils, core-utils-debug-sybols | 22:53 |
| adub | for root that is | 22:53 |
| Meshezabeel | ˙(dnʞɔɐq noʎ ǝɹns ǝʞɐɯ ʇsnɾ) sʍopuıʍ ɥʇıʍ ʇooq lɐnp oslɐ uɐɔ noʎ puɐ `(ɹǝʍols ǝq llıʍ ʇı) pɔ ɯoɹɟ ʇsɹıɟ ʇı ʎɹʇ uıɐƃɐ `ɥɐǝʎ `olǝɔɹɐɯɯ | 22:53 |
| adub | this is an odd problem for sure | 22:54 |
| ikonia | ethana2: doubt you'll find all packages the same | 22:54 |
| Meshezabeel | mmarcelo, yeah, again try it first from cd (it will be slower), and you can also dual boot with windows (just make sure you backup). | 22:54 |
| thorsten_ | Amarok! Settings Configure Amarok Collection and klick your drive | 22:54 |
| alex_21 | I still don't see if Rythumbox or Amerocks or Banshee is best. Amerock doesn't include Video support? | 22:54 |
| rww | ethana2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash | 22:54 |
| gnutron | adub: yes. ssh -l username hostname | 22:54 |
| adub | ahh | 22:55 |
| adub | lol | 22:55 |
| thorsten_ | I dont really use banshee | 22:55 |
| alex_21 | I mean, I need to set this up for sighted users who are used to ITunes, and I really don't want to have to change it too much for them | 22:55 |
| thorsten_ | Never needed I tunes | 22:55 |
| ethana2 | rww: ah, so there are better ways to get info on crashes than debugging symbols.. | 22:55 |
| * ethana2 bookmarks page | 22:56 | |
| sloggerkhan | alex_21: It's probably best if you installed them and decided yourself. I haven't used itunes in years. | 22:56 |
| zsquareplusc | adub: root access is normally diabled in sshd's config. ubuntu also has root account disabled by default | 22:56 |
| adub | cool | 22:56 |
| mmarcelo | Meshezabeel ok. thanks for the help, once again. i'm going offline now. :) | 22:56 |
| adub | yes i figured it out | 22:56 |
| alex_21 | I have ITunes on a primarily Mac network. Is ATunes maybe what I want? | 22:56 |
| thorsten_ | Sounds good? | 22:57 |
| Mal3ko | how how i check i already have dependency files? | 22:57 |
| Mal3ko | how do* | 22:57 |
| alex_21 | Well I don't know. As I said I can't see it visually, and orca doesn't work with all of them, so I really don't know how the UI is laid out | 22:57 |
| ethana2 | You know that recent update that went out with the changed ABI? I booted off the kernel it installed and it didn't have sound, but I didn't remember what it said at bootup so I just reverted to the older one... | 22:57 |
| zsquareplusc | alex_21: there are also command line music players | 22:58 |
| ethana2 | I should have commented it out of menu.lst instead of deleting it.. Ok yeah, that was dumb of me | 22:58 |
| alex_21 | That is why I ask you guys for help. Does ATunes have DAAP support? | 22:58 |
| u_boss | I can not install 8.04.... I get to partitioning and it fails.... help please | 22:58 |
| qcjn | gnutron: zsquareplusc hi, you'll become expert ssh :)..just a wink, can't stay..be back later | 22:58 |
| Rdgcrs | Hi! How can I activate USB support on my VirtualBox? | 22:58 |
| sloggerkhan | alex_21: I don't know how it works with a screen reader, but songbird LOOKS a LOT like iTunes if that's the #1 thing. | 22:58 |
| fonzarelli | Rdgcrs: the version in the repos is OSE (open source edition). OSE doesn't support USB | 22:59 |
| zsquareplusc | Rdgcrs: ose or proprietary edition? (the 1st one has no usb support) | 22:59 |
| gnutron | qcjn: :) | 22:59 |
| coremaster | hi | 22:59 |
| alex_21 | Does Songbird have DAAP support, and how do I install Songbird? | 22:59 |
| Yahovah | alex_21: No | 22:59 |
| Rdgcrs | fonzarelli, zsquareplusc: I've the version of the web page www.virtualbox.org | 23:00 |
| fonzarelli | Rdgcrs: which one, there are two versions | 23:00 |
| n8tuser | Rdgcrs-> the one from sun supports usb | 23:00 |
| Rdgcrs | fonzarelli, zsquareplusc: And I get an error when I start every virtualmachine saying USB that can not use USB's | 23:01 |
| Rdgcrs | I think it's the Non-free version | 23:01 |
| NeoChivers | Im having Problems setting up any version of ubuntu with my XFX 7600TXT .. its okay, pre-bbot but when it attempts to load the driver for my card it spazzes and shows green vertical lines on my screen ... any help is apperciated? | 23:01 |

| thorsten_ | Good night, its Midnight | 23:01 |
| undertaker | hi | 23:01 |
| n8tuser | Rdgcrs-> it should say sun xVM when you launched it | 23:02 |
| coremaster | is there a way to run a heavy game like warhammer online with ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| fonzarelli | Rdgcrs: i'm sending you some instructions in a private message | 23:02 |

| heret1c | drog: nope. need it be done immediately after a crash? strace amule? | 23:08 |
| NeoChivers | yeah thats fine .. then i get the ubuntu splash screen .. then it spazes out | 23:08 |
| drog | heret1c, you run the program with strace beforehand and check the logs... something like strace <program> > ~/log.foo | 23:09 |

| drog | (other than the inability to connect) | 23:15 |

| drog | Nith, I wouldnt change permissions like that | 23:16 |
| drog | Nith, what are you trying to accomplish? | 23:16 |
| marek_ | hi what are the names for mirrors for ubuntu? im installin jaunty now and installer asks me for them | 23:16 |
| turban | heret1c, no - i haven't. i see that this is a possibility with intrepid, i'll check it out right away and see what happens... thank you very much | 23:16 |
| Flannel | marek_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. | 23:16 |
| Nith | drog: stop users who ssh in from accessing my configs | 23:16 |
| drog | marek_, afaik it should detect a bunch of different mirrors for you, but you can certainly look for a mirror close to yourself | 23:16 |
| heret1c | turban: have ndisgtk installed? | 23:16 |
| CaMason_ | if my user is a member of a group, and a folder has that group as owner... and chmod is drwxrwxr-x.. should they be abel to write to it? | 23:17 |
| CaMason_ | im getting permission denied atm | 23:17 |
| drog | Nith, they shouldn't have write access, if you want to get rid of their read access I suggest changing the specific files you dont want read instead of all of /etc/* | 23:17 |
| goat|lappy | drog: if you have alot of people ssh'ing in, i would suggest a chroot jail for them... there should be proper walkthroughs on setting that up | 23:17 |
| LF|Irssi | Nith: that is like throwing the baby out with the bath water and very dangerious, just change the permissions PER config, not the entire /etc | 23:17 |
| turban | heret1c, no, but i presume that the tool administrator-> windows wireless drivers can be used? | 23:18 |
| Nith | understood, thanks drog and LF|Irssi | 23:18 |
| LF|Irssi | yw :) | 23:18 |

| CaMason_ | drog: drwxrwxr-x 2 root dev 4096 2008-11-29 22:57 projects | 23:22 |

| CaMason_ | is it because it's owned by 'root' that's causing problems? | 23:28 |
| zsquareplusc | CaMason_: you let your users create subfolders in there? intention? | 23:28 |
| CaMason_ | zsquareplusc: /development/projects is an area for users within the group 'development' to mess around with | 23:28 |
| edju | zsquareplusc, Dunno - use KDE. But, knetworkmanager shows "no wireless network found" | 23:28 |
| drog | cylux, how high-end? | 23:29 |
| jimmygoon | I'm looking for a good media player to reduce duplicates and consolidate multiple music libraries... any good suggestions? | 23:29 |
| walde | Uahh - I wanted to have an option in konqueror to add a folder to amarok playlist. Unfortunately every opened folder (gnome or kde) is being appended to the amarok-playlist now. Which file contains this information? | 23:29 |
| zsquareplusc | edju: ok. do you have a wireless on/off switch on your pc? does "dmesg" show errors? | 23:29 |
| drog | edju, is there a wireless light on your pc? is this a laptop? | 23:30 |
| rww | cylux: If your player has an option to increase buffering times or cache, that could help. I was having issues with choppy video in VLC that got fixed that way. | 23:31 |
| edju | zsquareplusc, dmesg shoed no errors when ndiswrapper was loaded. It is a lap and the wless switch is on. | 23:31 |
| rww | cylux: it's more of a workaround than a solution, but it's better than nothing | 23:31 |
| cylux | drog: Dual Core 3.2 GHz processor and a GeForce 8600 GT and 2GB of RAM | 23:31 |
| cylux | rww: I'll try it out, thanks. | 23:32 |
| edju | iwconfig essid doesn't associate the AP. | 23:32 |
| cylux | rww: But mplayer was also choppy, it isn't just VLC | 23:32 |
| drog | CaMason_, try chowning it to another user | 23:32 |
| CaMason_ | drog: I just tried that.. chown -R test:development /development | 23:32 |
| CaMason_ | still no joy D: | 23:32 |
| drog | cylux, yea that shouldn't have a problem... are you using nvidia drivers? | 23:32 |
| zsquareplusc | cylux: HD streams? try to enable processing for the second CPU (threads for some decoders) | 23:32 |
| drog | zsquareplusc, shouldn't matter, 3.2 on a single core core 2 is more than enough to decode 1080p | 23:33 |
| mrwes | re | 23:33 |
| zsquareplusc | drog: mine is 2.1GHz and it is not enough | 23:33 |
| zsquareplusc | :/ | 23:34 |
| drog | zsquareplusc, what cpu? | 23:34 |
| zsquareplusc | drog: also a core 2 duo | 23:34 |
| CaMason_ | I just restarted and it seems to be working now :o | 23:34 |
| drog | zsquareplusc, that doesnt sound right... | 23:35 |
| zsquareplusc | CaMason_: you did not re-login after adding yourself to the group? | 23:35 |
| CaMason_ | zsquareplusc: no, I wasn't aware that was mandatory :D | 23:35 |
| zsquareplusc | drog: it works unless there is a lot of movment, then it losses some frames | 23:35 |

| Pedrolito | I'm not able to log out then log back in when compiz is enabled, I have to hard reseet the computer. Is that normal? | 23:38 |
| Jagged_ | XThief: you may need to set the user passwd and shell default (and perhaps home dir) | 23:38 |
| XThief | Jagged_ already did it | 23:38 |
| dmulholland | XThief, is there not an unlock button in the users and groups window? | 23:38 |
| zsquareplusc | Pedrolito: no, that is not normal. sounds like a driver issue | 23:39 |
| drog | cylux, the problem only occurs on the sata drive, you can play the same video flawlessly from the ide drive? | 23:39 |
| XThief | dmulholland yes, but its grayed | 23:39 |
