| zachb1 | I already have ubuntu installed, but I'd like to install a different version to another partition. Is there some way I can do this wo/ a CD/USB disk? | 00:04 |
| qcjn | hi, gnutron | 00:04 |
| arrenlex | !debootstrap | zachb1 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | zachb1: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 00:05 |
| leo_ | gnutron: I uninstall java-common | 00:05 |
| apadox | zachb1, what different version | 00:05 |
| kai | powertool08, how to check which (hd0,x) my vista is installed on? | 00:05 |
| zachb1 | arrenlex: not quite... | 00:05 |
| === andatche_ is now known as andatche | ||
| arrenlex | zachb1: What do you need that debootstrap doesn't provide? | 00:05 |
| zachb1 | apadox: I just want to install a intrepid in a new partition wo/ removing this one? | 00:06 |
| gnutron | leo_: intrepid or earlier? | 00:06 |
| apadox | zachb1, why would you wanna do that ? | 00:06 |
| powertool08 | kai: I'm pretty sure hd0,0 will work for you, windows always assumes its the first and only partition | 00:06 |
| arrenlex | kai: Do you know what drive it's installed on in /dev/? Like /dev/sda2? | 00:06 |
| zachb1 | apadox: ...because I don't want to wipe this partition | 00:06 |
| charm911 | hello! I've been breaking my head on a the firefox flashplayer-nonfree flickering on some sites and playing ok on other sites... anyone have a solution for that? | 00:06 |
| kai | powertool08, arrenlex, Not sure.. Linux was installed first, thankfully, GRUB was not over-written... I am not sure how to check which drive it was installed on though, | 00:07 |
| Mal3ko | what folder is /usr/local/bin <--? | 00:07 |
| arrenlex | kai: What is the state of the system? Do you have a shell? | 00:07 |
| YlandeFaran | How do I open .bin and .cue files? | 00:07 |
| apadox | zachb1, so you want 2 intrepids :) .. or you want to move this one on another partition | 00:07 |
| zachb1 | apadox: I'm not using intrepid | 00:07 |
| apadox | ok | 00:07 |
| Paddy_EIRE | YlandeFaran, what is the bin/cue files of? | 00:08 |
| zachb1 | (hardy) | 00:08 |
| qcjn | hi, would you know of an app that can do flash diaporama that i could put on a website after ? | 00:08 |
| kai | arrenlex :Both seemed to have installed fine, GRUB won't auto detect VISTA and Ubuntu seems to be working fine. (I'm using it right now to talk to you) | 00:08 |
| YlandeFaran | starcraft + broodwar. I want to play them through wine. | 00:08 |
| apadox | zachb1, you need ubuntu cd .. when you boot it and it gets to partition manager go to manual | 00:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | YlandeFaran, ok you can either extract the bin file.. or mount it | 00:08 |
| YlandeFaran | I found a usefull wine-guide, but in that guide they use real cds, mine broke down many years ago. :) | 00:08 |
| zachb1 | I can make the partition just fine | 00:08 |
| zachb1 | apadox: the problem is actually installing it | 00:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !bin | YlandeFaran | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bin | 00:08 |
| apadox | choose partition you wanna use and delete it, create a new partition and format it as / zachb1 | 00:08 |

| rgsteele||work | Hey folks - any takers on this kernel-related problem? http://pastie.org/330424 I apologize for bursting in here and being so brief in framing the question, but I've been hacking at this for quite some time and I'm exhausted :) | 00:09 |
| zachb1 | arrenlex: Maybe it would work. | 00:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | jpds, at the same time.. what works for me may not work for you... go for it | 00:09 |
| gnutron | leo_: which version of ubuntu are you running | 00:10 |
| jpv950 | Paddy_EIRE, thanks | 00:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | YlandeFaran, right click the bin file and choose "Extract here" | 00:10 |
| arrenlex | zachb1: The ubuntu installer (ubiquity) is also available as a package, you might be able to just install that package and launch the installer again. | 00:10 |
| apadox | i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/80079/ when i try to run a game .. i have installed ati drivers but seems like they are not working | 00:10 |

| rgsteele||work | exodus_ms: Nah, it's onboard, and unfortunately the server is a 1U and the only PCI slot is being taken up by a RAID card. | 00:13 |
| arrenlex | apadox: Yeah, your acceleration's fine... dunno, then. Sorry. | 00:13 |
| arrenlex | !anyone | bdelin88 | 00:13 |
| ubottu | bdelin88: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 00:13 |
| apadox | arrenlex, do you know where could i look for help? | 00:14 |
| rgsteele||work | So I can't replace it with something nicer, like an Intel card. | 00:14 |

| droopsta915_ | If I set my desktop effects to none, will that turn compiz off? | 00:14 |
| YlandeFaran | Paddy_EIRE: That did not work, no application avaliable to do that. I probably don't have the right application installed. I can, however burn out them to a CD by klicking the .cue files and use "Brasero disk burner" | 00:14 |
| arrenlex | droopsta915_: Yes, it will go back to metacity. | 00:14 |
| gnutron | leo_: try apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:14 |
| Prez00 | how do I prevent Bluetooth from being activated on startup? I have to be hitting the Fn+wireless keys on my thinkpad to turn it off after startup. | 00:14 |
| droopsta915_ | thanks | 00:14 |
| exodus_ms | rgsteele||work> looks like you have done your homework, routing tables and IP's all resolve with dns. I thought that maybe you installed a new nic with an old ip addressed to it | 00:15 |

| bdelin88 | son of a whore | 00:21 |
| arrenlex | truebosko: The only difference between ubuntu server and desktop is what packages come installed by default. If you install ubuntu-desktop and then install apache on it, you get the same effect. | 00:21 |
| Giraffe | hey, has anybody uesd wicd instead of network manager? it seems it's having trouble finding a hidden network | 00:22 |
| t-l0yal | is the EasyLink Advisor for linux?? | 00:22 |
| truebosko | arrenlex: ah, I didn't know that. That's good enough then, I'll just install Desktop :-) | 00:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | D-MAN what model is it | 00:36 |
| Dracie | D-MAN: what card? | 00:36 |
| grendal_prime | how can i find out what my working sound device is? | 00:36 |
| D-MAN | its ati radeon 1650 pro | 00:36 |
| joelmca | Is there a log that tells you from what IP addresses people have attempted to log into your Ubuntu system remotely? I log in via SSH, but want to see if others have tried too. | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | D-MAN sorry have not messed with any of those. | 00:37 |

| HopFlash | Hi! I have a problem to start with my boot cd from ubuntu. Only the following appears: Grub loading... Error 21 any help? | 00:37 |
| [TiZ] | Hi there. My home partition is reporting to be full at only 1.8 GB. But I know that it's 3.5 GB! What's going on here? How can I fix it? | 00:38 |
| Dracie | bluelist: lets just make sure your graphics card isn't already configured: type this in terminal: glxinfo | grep direct | 00:38 |
| Dracie | TiZ sudo fdisk -l in terminal | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] df -h | 00:39 |
| Dracie | nevermind better idea jack =] | 00:39 |
| hotte- | does anyone know if iwl3945 modul supports ad-hoc?!??! | 00:39 |
| hotte- | 6 | 00:39 |
| hotte- | 00:39 | |
| israel | I found something if someone is interested this is the link http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/geek-to-live-how-to-host-a-personal-wiki-on-your-home-computer-126052.php | 00:39 |
| arrenlex | Dracie: Technically you can have direct rendering without having acceleration, it's better to make sure the OpenGL rendering string to make sure it's not mesa indirect. | 00:39 |
| hotte- | sry | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dracie np, please go ahead and continue with him | 00:39 |
| DasEi | D-MAN: backup xorg.conf d/l the catalyst-suite (ati-hp), put it to /usr/src , sudo sh it, reboot | 00:39 |
| [TiZ] | Ah, wait... I'm looking in GParted and it's saying that 2.7 GB is in use... that sounds more right. But the disk usage analyzer says that only 1.8 GB is in use. Why the discrepancy? | 00:39 |
| Ferrous | that's silly israel | 00:39 |
| israel | see you | 00:39 |
| Ferrous | now look up "home wiki exploits" | 00:40 |
| Ferrous | haha | 00:40 |
| Dracie | TiZ in a terminal type df -h | 00:40 |
| arrenlex | hotte-: Yes, I have used ad-hoc with that card using iwl3945. | 00:40 |
| tiyowan | Hi...anyone here use Empathy on intrepid? | 00:40 |
| Dracie | arrenlex: does it say you have direct rendering though? | 00:40 |
| hotte- | arrenlex, damn :( may you can help me in querry a bit? | 00:40 |
| kitche | [TiZ]: no discrepancy really you have to remember 5% of that 3.5 GB's is being used for root | 00:40 |
| arrenlex | hotte-: What isn't working? | 00:40 |
| [TiZ] | Dracie: df -h says that home is 3.3GB. 2.8 is in use. And 400M is free. | 00:40 |
| Dracie | TiZ - there you go... you can expand that partition if you need to | 00:41 |
| [TiZ] | kitche: So 5% of 3.3 GB translates to 1GB of space not accounted for by the disk usage analyzer? | 00:41 |
| arrenlex | Dracie: Not me, you mean bluelist. I was just pointing stuff out. :) | 00:41 |
| dr_willis | You can change that 5% reserved | 00:41 |
| israel | haha, why silly?, you can have your own wiki in your intranet | 00:41 |
| israel | =P | 00:41 |
| tiyowan | I'm using empathy on intrepid, and I whenever I call a gtalk contact, the mic/vol. is grayed out and no ring tone sounds. Any ideas? | 00:41 |
| kitche | [TiZ]: more like it guesses just like free does most of the time | 00:41 |
| bluelist | Dracie: .... :~$ glxinfo | grep direct | 00:42 |
| bluelist | direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 00:42 |
| bluelist | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect | 00:42 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to free up space in /home, in case it wasn't obvious. I'm trying to use the disk usage analyzer, but there's 1GB of stuff that it's not accounting for somewhere. | 00:42 |
| D-MAN | DasEihave no clue what you just told me to do? | 00:42 |
| Dracie | bluelist: thx | 00:42 |
| DasEi | israel : why don#t you just set up a fileserver accesible only via dmz ? | 00:42 |
| xat_ | [TiZ]: I'm guessing /home is an entirely separate partition? | 00:42 |
| [TiZ] | xat_: Yep. | 00:42 |
| Dracie | [TiZ] sudo apt-get clean | 00:42 |
| xat_ | then things like apt-get clean wouldn't affect that partition, I imagine | 00:43 |
| [TiZ] | Dracie: That didn't help any. | 00:43 |

Any thoughts on where I should look for something that might be useful for a bug report, or a link to an open bug report? | 00:43 |
| DasEi | D-MAN: open a terminal... | 00:43 |
| tiyowan | ok, does on anyone have a gtalk account on a win box? I just need to do a quick audio test. | 00:43 |
| xat_ | [TiZ]: does that home have a single user? | 00:44 |
| D-MAN | DasEi kk | 00:44 |
| [TiZ] | xat_: Yep, just me. | 00:44 |
| Dracie | bluelist: have you installed the appropiate drivers? | 00:44 |
| * leo_-away as the terminator says: I'll be back | 00:44 | |
| DasEi | D-MAN: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_working | 00:44 |
| israel | DasEi: because I want to use the wiki for share some documentation on how to do things by the team | 00:44 |
| israel | we already have a fileserver | 00:44 |
| DasEi | israel : so simply allow the users to change the files | 00:45 |
| bluelist | how do I do that | 00:45 |
| Dracie | remind me what card you got, i forgot | 00:45 |
| DasEi | D-MAN: go to ati hp , find your driver | 00:45 |
| israel | yeah, this is another option, both are ok | 00:46 |
| xat_ | hm | 00:46 |
| D-MAN | DasEi tried that but it didnt do anything | 00:46 |
| Dracie | either you need fglrx or the open source ati drivers | 00:46 |
| DasEi | D-MAN: it did... | 00:46 |
| arrenlex | Dracie: No foss drivers for that card. | 00:46 |
| DasEi | D-MAN: d/l 'ed driver ? | 00:46 |
| Dracie | kk thx arrenlex | 00:46 |
| xat_ | [TiZ]: hm. can't say I have the answer. maybe run disk usage analyzer as root to see if there's anything it isn't picking up under regular user mode | 00:46 |
| bdelin88 | so... | 00:46 |
| israel | all depend of the propose | 00:47 |
| bdelin88 | how do i install one of these... | 00:47 |
| Dracie | bluelist: go into System -> Administration -> hardware drivers | 00:47 |
| D-MAN | DasEi lamens terms please im newb! | 00:47 |
| bdelin88 | http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=628658 | 00:47 |
| Dracie | see about enabling drivers | 00:47 |
| tiyowan | I'm using empathy on intrepid, and I whenever I call a gtalk contact, the mic/vol. is grayed out and no ring tone sounds. Any ideas? | 00:47 |
| DasEi | D-MAN: go to ati homepage , find your driver | 00:47 |
| bdelin88 | anyone know how to install one of these or which one i should install (barry for my blackberry): http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=628658 | 00:47 |
| russe11 | Anybody have any idea where nm-applet stores WEP keys? I want to back up that file before I reformat | 00:47 |
| don | how can I check what ports I have open? | 00:48 |
| [TiZ] | xat_: Okay then. Thanks. | 00:48 |
| D-MAN | DasEi allready did yhat it did nothing | 00:48 |
| tiyowan | don: I think you need to check your iptables. | 00:48 |
| don | I'm new to linux, how do I do that? | 00:48 |
| russe11 | don: you could always nmap yourself | 00:48 |
| bdelin88 | how do i install or configure a .deb file, anyone? | 00:48 |
| mikebot | Would anyone be able to tell me why sound doesn't play from firefox? (so like youtube and such), but occasionally it does. And VLC plays sound, but once I open firefox and attempt to play sound, VLC no longer will (until, I think, I close firefox and re-open it)? | 00:49 |
| russe11 | don: You could just do "sudo nmap localhost" | 00:49 |
| tiyowan | don: I'm new, too. I'm sure someone else here knows the cmd to run from terminal. | 00:49 |
| RequinB4 | bdelin88: double click, but what are you trying to install | 00:49 |
| don | russell thank you, installing nmap now | 00:49 |
| bdelin88 | RequinB4: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=628658 | 00:49 |
| DasE1 | D-MAN: its on the desktop now ? | 00:49 |
| russe11 | don, I think it's possible that you will have some ports open to localhost that are not available to any other users | 00:49 |
| russe11 | *hosts | 00:49 |
| don | russell I need to open a port if it's not | 00:50 |
| tiyowan | mikebot: I read on some of the forums about something related to pulseaudio. | 00:50 |
| RequinB4 | bdelin88: download the appropriate deb for your architecture and version and double click on it. Its not in the repos | 00:50 |
| russe11 | don, that should tell you then. | 00:50 |
| mikebot | tiyowan: Do you happen to have a link? | 00:50 |
| don | okay yeah, shows only 2 ports open, how do I open another? | 00:50 |
| D-MAN | DasEi no | 00:50 |
| bdelin88 | RequinB4: i don't see one for intrepid, should i get closest version? and it says i am missing "libbarry0" i think | 00:50 |
| DasE1 | D-MAN: where did you put it ? | 00:50 |
| russe11 | don, unless you've installed a firewall or something, the only way to "open" a port is to run the app that expects to use it. | 00:51 |
| D-MAN | DasEi did it on a previouse hard drive | 00:51 |
| don | okay I'll give that a shot | 00:51 |
| amikrop | How will we get vendors like Konami, Blizzard and BioWare to write (or just port) games for Linux? :-( | 00:51 |
| tiyowan | mikebot: Hang on. | 00:51 |
| DasE1 | D-MAN: path ? | 00:51 |
| bdelin88 | RequinB4: it says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libbarry0" | 00:51 |
| amikrop | :_-( | 00:51 |
| mikebot | tiyowan: Thanks, I appreciate it. | 00:51 |
| Dracie | mikebot: if your using pulse audio you will have issues when using different sound outputs | 00:51 |
| RequinB4 | bdelin88: you can download that deb from teh same source you just gave me | 00:51 |
| don | Okay, must be that the program isn't running yet. Thanks | 00:51 |
| bdelin88 | rgr | 00:51 |
| D-MAN | DasEi new install other drive was corrupt | 00:52 |
| DasE1 | D-MAN: so d/l it to desktop then ... | 00:52 |
| mikebot | tiyowan: Dracie: It looks like I want to 'killall pulseaudio', but then there is a memory leak or something? | 00:52 |
| mikebot | Dracie: Is there a way for me to not use pulseaudio? | 00:52 |
| [TiZ] | xat_: Found it. | 00:52 |
| D-MAN | DasEi wich one do i download? | 00:52 |
| [TiZ] | It was a huge iso I had deleted as root | 00:52 |
| JECHO | anyone else notice that Ibex takes up a lot of memory? | 00:52 |
| tiyowan | mikebot: Yep. killall pulseaudio should do the trick. | 00:53 |
| amikrop | How will we get vendors like Konami, Blizzard and BioWare to write (or just port) games for Linux? :-( | 00:53 |
| Dracie | mikebot: of course, but you will still have issues | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | amikrop, dont hold your breath. | 00:53 |
| mikebot | tiyowan: According to the following site, people had memory leak issues with killing pulseaudio: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/202089 | 00:53 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: get more users to linux is what you have to do | 00:53 |
| kitche | amikrop: blizzard already does well sort of | 00:53 |
| RequinB4 | amikrop: the same way you get laws past. Get a lot of people to agree with you, use linux, and tell them its in their own interest | 00:54 |
| don | amikrob a majority of people to complain and write in to them would be what it would take | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | amikrop, if they thought they could make a profit from it.. vs the cost of doing so.. they would.. | 00:54 |
| bdelin88 | it's simply demand, there is virtually no demand for linux gaming... and too much risk | 00:54 |
| mikebot | Dracie: So there is no way to not have issues? | 00:54 |
| [TiZ] | How is there risk? | 00:54 |
| kitche | amikrop: considering that ID ports games over to Linux all the time which is part of Blizzard | 00:54 |
| Darkangel42 | i am having problems with my flash player working on firefox, we have updated and installed all adobes and javascript is turned on in firefox, any help??? | 00:54 |
| bdelin88 | bc there is no demand :) | 00:54 |
| Dracie | mikebot: i don't know, but i'm guessing VLC uses OSS or something by default and flash in ffox uses alsa | 00:54 |
| RequinB4 | !flash | 00:54 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:54 |
| mikebot | Dracie: Are either of those two things related to pulseaudio? | 00:55 |
| jgoguen | [TiZ]: if there's no guaranteed sales, they risk losing a lot of money taking the time to port and test their games | 00:55 |
| don | TiZ they have to spend the money to code it and port it and the man hours. If not enough people on linux use the product, they've wasted alot of money and time. | 00:55 |
| zetheroo | I am having sound related issues in Hardy ... sound just stops working all of a sudden and I have to reboot to get it back on | 00:55 |
| Dracie | mikebot: read up on pulseaudio | 00:55 |
| Dracie | !pulseaudio | mikebot | 00:55 |
| ubottu | mikebot: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 00:55 |
| tiyowan | mikebot: The issue seems to be with pulseaudio and gnome-power-manager. | 00:55 |
| [TiZ] | I see. Okay then, thanks for that explanantion. :) | 00:55 |
| bdelin88 | plus they have to set up tech support for it | 00:55 |
| amikrop | Well, Linux has to really get to market share. | 00:55 |
| amikrop | I am quite angry about this. | 00:56 |
| mikebot | Dracie: Thanks | 00:56 |
| tiyowan | mikebot: The bug report says that the gnome-power-manager memory leak problem got fixed in a recent Deb update. | 00:56 |
| mikebot | tiyowan: ALright, I'm just going to try it. | 00:56 |
| bdelin88 | and linux is still at the stage where 70% of it's new user base has no idea what they are doing :) | 00:56 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: how do you think MAC feels? | 00:56 |

| DarkKnight | hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions | 01:03 |
| amikrop | OK. So the solution is that Linux has to get in the market share, as in 30%. That will shake Game-makers and Hardware-makers... | 01:03 |
| bdelin88 | tiyowan: with compiz enabled? | 01:03 |
| CO2Games | I followed the firestarter shared connection guide | 01:03 |

| Cy | bdelin88: But it was working fine till I updated? | 01:04 |
| Hikefu | tiyowan, sorry, I would, but I run openbox without gnome and installing empathy and it's accompanying dependencies drags a lot of unwanted files onto my system. | 01:04 |
| nighthawk08 | got a problem configuring the network card,. anybody help... | 01:04 |
| slayton | bluedusk, to edit the boot order edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:04 |
| CO2Games | but I'm afraid I may have made a few mistakes because my computer is not connected to the modem, but to another router | 01:04 |
| exodus_ms | LjL> ping? | 01:04 |
| tiyowan | bdelin88: Yes, absolutely. With all the bangs and whistles. | 01:04 |
| tiyowan | Hikefu: np | 01:04 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: yes but then we are still dealing with the same directx problem i think, microsoft still holds the bread and butter for gaming platforms | 01:04 |
| amikrop | Well, we MUST do something to make more and more people use Linux. Can't they see it? Windows just sucks... | 01:04 |
| greenmanspirit | anyone else have an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller and have it actually working well in ibex | 01:04 |
| bdelin88 | tiyowan: nice :) quite a lot of improvement then since I tried on my laptop with ati a while back, good news :) | 01:04 |

| lippy | Anyone can provide some LTSP help? | 01:05 |
| amikrop | bdelin88: If Linux gets into the market share, then, games will be ported to OpenGL... | 01:05 |
| nighthawk08 | got a problem configuring the network card,. anybody help... | 01:05 |
| RequinB4 | bluelist: can't help with boot list order, but new X doesn't use xorg.conf for screen res, it actively checks what is allowed by your driver. You can try and reconfigure xorg with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:05 |
| bdelin88 | Cy: updated intrepid? My nvidia crashed as well, I just reinstalled the drivers and let it update kernel/xorg and good to go | 01:05 |
| DasE1 | !ask | lippy | 01:05 |

| tuxdroidfan | can someone help me with mplayer? | 01:05 |
| tuxdroidfan | Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll | 01:05 |
| amikrop | Because the companies' target group will use OpenGL. | 01:05 |
| RequinB4 | !pm | umaxim | 01:05 |
| ubottu | umaxim: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 01:05 |
| tiyowan | bdelin88: It works beautifully. The default install auto-detects the card and lists proprietary drivers as well. | 01:05 |
| DarkKnight | hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions...can anyone plzz help me | 01:05 |
| sjwalters | nighthawk08 whats the story | 01:05 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: but opengl is not near as wonderful :) | 01:05 |

| heogen | hello | 01:05 |
| slayton | tuxdroidfan, are you looking to get mplayer support for windows? This isn't the place go to #mplayer | 01:05 |
| Cy | bdelin88: No Hardy :) | 01:05 |
| heogen | I can't play movie from my usb? | 01:05 |
| Hikefu | amikrop, I love linux, but remember, having multiple OSs sparks competition that is great for everyone. | 01:05 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: ok i will know | 01:06 |
| slayton | renegade420, lots of people have | 01:06 |
| tiyowan | amikrop: Why not just dual-boot? | 01:06 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: i just always see better frames with directx games | 01:06 |
| heogen | When a try to play a movie from the usb | 01:06 |
| heogen | show me this error | 01:06 |
| slayton | heogen, what do you mean? explain your problem | 01:06 |
| bluelist | I don't know if I'm using "new X" | 01:06 |
| amikrop | Hikefu: Yes, if everyone used multiple OSes, then yes. | 01:06 |
| E4emacs4 | renegade420, tried it, didnt like it, went back to 8.04 as fast as i could :) | 01:06 |
| heogen | could not determine type of stream | 01:06 |
| lippy | Can't get ltsp-build-client to work after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Problems with dpkg configure of hal package. | 01:06 |
| slayton | bluelist, are you using 8.04 or 8.10 if you're using 8.10 then you're using the new x | 01:06 |
| RequinB4 | heogen: what file type | 01:06 |
| amikrop | bdelin88: Well, OpenGL can be improved... | 01:06 |
| bluelist | 8.04 | 01:06 |
| tiyowan | amikrop: Personally I read that Vista tanked badly, most of the corp. aren't even considering using it. They'll probably shift to Win. 7 when it RTMs. | 01:06 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: my problem this i can not activate my wifi card it write to me that it turn of but stay use and doesn not activate | 01:06 |
| sjwalters | nighthawk08? | 01:06 |
| DarkKnight | hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions...can anyone plzz help me | 01:07 |
| slayton | bluelist, then you're using the old x configuration | 01:07 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: it's been around and "improving" forever lol | 01:07 |
| nighthawk08 | sjwalters: I am trying to configure the network card,. but without success, it isn't being showed in the ifconfig as well no eth0 | 01:07 |
| heogen | <slayton> I trying to play a movie with Totem | 01:07 |
| Hikefu | amikrop, plus, remember, without windows, we couldn't be selfrighteous linux users | 01:07 |
| Hikefu | :) | 01:07 |
| heogen | <slayton> from my usb | 01:07 |
| slayton | heogen, right I get that but what is the file type what is the error you're getting | 01:07 |
| RequinB4 | umaxim: what is the output of lspci | grep Network | 01:07 |
| amikrop | bdelin88: Especially, if nVidia and stuff take the Linux thing more seriously | 01:07 |
| slayton | heogen, I need more information then "the movie won't play" | 01:07 |
| kitche | DarkKnight: then most likely your printer is not supported but could be supported by using another version I know that's how some HP printers work | 01:07 |
| slayton | heogen, the more specific you can make your question the better | 01:07 |
| renegade420 | Well would anyone recommend ubuntu 8.10 for the eee pc 701 series? | 01:07 |
| amikrop | Hikefu: why not? | 01:07 |
| jeswhy | can i speak here? | 01:07 |
| heogen | <slayton> ok let me put it again | 01:07 |
| slayton | jeswhy, sure, just ask questions | 01:07 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: linux, even though it is very nice right now, just still isn't "there" for the typical user | 01:08 |
| amikrop | bdelin88: why not? | 01:08 |
| sjwalters | nighthawk08 what kind of card do you have? | 01:08 |
| tiyowan | It took a long while for nVidia and ATI to get their act together for Windows as well. | 01:08 |
| Hikefu | amikrop, windows makes me feel good about using linux | 01:08 |
| CyBurnett | Hello! | 01:08 |
| tiyowan | Besides driver support is *horrible* in Vista. | 01:08 |
| DarkKnight | kitche; that's a wiered answer....i just can't buy any printer...possibly i have to make changes to coding | 01:08 |
| DasEi | jeswhy: ubuntu-related, yup | 01:08 |
| RequinB4 | Hikefu: The more i learn how to be a poweruser in windows the more I'm able to make it look like linux. | 01:08 |
| slayton | bdelin88, why not? that depends on who you ask. I've installed ubuntu on my mothers computer she is completely computer illiterate and finds it easier to use then XP | 01:08 |
| nighthawk08 | sjwalters: some sort of ethernet card,. do not know the exact brand... | 01:08 |
| heogen | <slayton> when I open ogle the error is | 01:08 |
| bdelin88 | amikrop: well yes you can take a bunch of steps to make it looks nice and things like that, but it looks very ugly out of the box imo, they need things like screenlets and awn packaged right into it | 01:08 |
| amikrop | Hikefu: :P | 01:08 |
| RequinB4 | heogen: install VLC and open it with that | 01:08 |
| tiyowan | renegade420: Just try out the os with a liveCD on your system. | 01:09 |
| sjwalters | nighthawk08: are you running linux right now? | 01:09 |

| slayton | bdelin88, aesthetics have nothing to do with useability | 01:09 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: lol that is because she hasn't tried installing anything yet :) | 01:09 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: its write to many i just begin use ubuntu and stay study how all work | 01:09 |
| amikrop | bdelin88: That's mostly a marketing issue. | 01:09 |
| nighthawk08 | on the other machine, ye, I am trying to connect it to the web and lan... | 01:09 |
| slayton | bdelin88, um.. have you talked to her? No you havne't I showed her how to use synaptic and she is doing fine | 01:09 |
| zetheroo | does anyone know how to fix a sound issue in Hardy? | 01:09 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: agreed, but the average computer user likes aesthetics :) | 01:09 |
| Hikefu | RequinB4, you're right. With the proper knowledge and effort well spent, both systems can be made to both reflect and suit your own needs. I have nothing against either OS. | 01:09 |
| amikrop | bdelin88: Out of the box image of the product, is marketing. | 01:09 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: but it is does not show my card | 01:09 |
| demonspork | !ask zetheroo | 01:09 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask zetheroo | 01:09 |
| RequinB4 | umaxim: what card do you have | 01:09 |
| slayton | bdelin88, but asthetics don't mean anything why do you think people are downgrading from vista to XP | 01:09 |
| demonspork | !ask | zetheroo | 01:09 |
| heogen | <RequinB4> thank you, but would like to use too ogle | 01:09 |
| ubottu | zetheroo: 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. :-) | 01:09 |
| tiyowan | Aesthetics can be changed. | 01:10 |
| slayton | asthetics don't make up for a crappy experience bdelin88 | 01:10 |
| tiyowan | slayton: Agreed. I did that. | 01:10 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: linksys WUSB300N | 01:10 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: yes, but what if it is not synaptic, what if she has to compile or configure from the command line? | 01:10 |
| lorenzo | hi, i have downloaded Songbird 1.0, how do i install it on Ibex? thanks. | 01:10 |

| nighthawk08 | sjwalters: on the other machine, ye, I am trying to connect it to the web and lan... | 01:10 |
| slayton | bdelin88, well the _average_ user doesn't need to do that then! | 01:10 |
| sjwalters | nighthawk08: so you have two network cards? | 01:10 |
| zetheroo | demonspork: my sound just stops working every now and then and I have to reboot to get it working again ... | 01:10 |
| slayton | heogen, what is the file type? | 01:10 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: honestly, vista is quite nice now, it has come a long way, and performance-wise, it is much more stable and robust from XP, it also know how to keep itself healthy | 01:10 |
| sjwalters | Can you give me a dump of both ifconfig and lsmod? | 01:10 |
| heogen | <ubottu> thank you | 01:10 |
| RequinB4 | umaxim: do you have a CD for the card | 01:10 |
| slayton | bdelin88, sure but 18 months ago nobody would touch it. | 01:11 |
| demonspork | zetheroo, I would suggest postings in the community forums if no one responds to your question here | 01:11 |
| sjwalters | (Priv msg). | 01:11 |
| nighthawk08 | sjwalters: two different machines,. I got a network card in each... | 01:11 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: yes | 01:11 |
| jeswhy | it's my first time to use pidgin, i am still not famillar with it and dont konw how to use it successfully ,there are so many people here... | 01:11 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: yes but that was 18 months ago | 01:11 |
| tiyowan | bdelin88: There was an article comparing vista to xp out in tomshardware.... | 01:11 |
| zetheroo | demonspork: I have a number of errors in my logs pertaining to sound etc ... | 01:11 |
| heogen | <slayton> file_selector_change_root: DVDSetDVDRoot: Root not set | 01:11 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: 18 months ago UBUNTU crashed and burned on my ati laptop and wouldn't even boot x, i speant 4 days trying to get it to work, as an "average" user, that's terrible :) | 01:11 |
| slayton | bdelin88, i'll admit that vista and osX are prettier then gnome with a tricked out compiz setting but still a pretty dead dog is still a dead dog... | 01:11 |
| umaxim | RequinB4: i was installed it before but when i connect to some network ubuntu is freez and stop working i must turn of computer and turn on agan for computer work | 01:11 |
| slayton | bdelin88, again you said that ubuntu ISN'T ready for the average user not ubuntu WASN'T ready | 01:12 |
| RequinB4 | umaxim: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611273 | 01:12 |
| RequinB4 | umaxim: does it work and stop connecting OR does it not work at all? | 01:12 |
| greenmanspirit | DasEl: it has a lot of issues, one being that the speakers don't shut off when you plug in headphones, also when i try to adjust the volume the left and right channel will go to random levels and sometimes it will just send crackling to the speakers, i know the speakers are fine because the crackling wasn't there last week with hardy | 01:12 |
| slayton | bdelin88, anyway this really isn't the place if you want to continue pm me or we can go over to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:12 |
| bdelin88 | slayton: Ubuntu will be sufficient for windows users, IMHO, when a windows user can accomplish everything they can do in windows, but in linux, and do it with a GUI, and much much more | 01:12 |
| zetheroo | does anyone know why my sound fritzes out when I watch something on Youtube? ... | 01:12 |

| RequinB4 | filthpig: there shouldn't be any difference in wine than otherwise - if its compaitble and more powerful with more memory i'll preform better. most of wine's processes go through the main processer | 01:24 |
| MasterAkia | 8.04 | 01:24 |
| DarkKnight | tiyowan; yes i do see... mine is D2568...and i see D2500 series connected to a usb port | 01:24 |

| jeswhy | people here is so kind:) | 01:25 |
| sug1 | slayton: with gui is sudo apt-get install mplayer-gui? | 01:25 |
| arrenlex | fa2s: df -h | 01:25 |
| filthpig | sug1: use Synaptic, or "add/Remove" in your apllications menu | 01:26 |

| ty | what is the subject | 01:26 |
| fa2s | thanks! | 01:26 |
| tiyowan | DarkKnight: Hang on. | 01:26 |
| RequinB4 | filthpig: I'm 80% sure all wine does is convert DX rather than render - but either way there won't be a difference between wine and windows for upgrading besides you might want more memory | 01:26 |
| DarkKnight | tiyowan; okk | 01:26 |
| slayton | sug1, try smplayer | 01:26 |
| nighthawk08 | anybody, know anything about networking? | 01:26 |
| slayton | sere hold on let me find it | 01:26 |
| sere | slayton, ty | 01:27 |
| slayton | nighthawk08, just ask your questions | 01:27 |
| ty | nighthack08: yes | 01:27 |
| nighthawk08 | I got a none active ethernet card, and I am trying to configure it, .... | 01:27 |
| filthpig | RequinB4: well, Wine does deliver very much poorer FPS than a native Windows install, all tests show that.. :/ | 01:27 |
| ty | ok | 01:27 |
| nighthawk08 | it isn't being showed in the ifconfig at all... | 01:27 |
| ty | does ubuntu detect it? | 01:27 |
| nighthawk08 | no | 01:27 |
| ty | is it built in | 01:27 |
| ty | or a card | 01:27 |
| ty | ? | 01:27 |
| nighthawk08 | it is a card | 01:28 |
| ty | ok | 01:28 |
| RequinB4 | filthpig: true, and that loss is going to be true no matter if you have a jeep under your box. I'm talking percent increase | 01:28 |
| slayton | sere how did you install the font? | 01:28 |
| ty | do you know what model it is? | 01:28 |
| testingserver | i don't own this computer, how can i know if its 64 bit or not? | 01:28 |
| nighthawk08 | ty: I do not know the exact brand of it | 01:28 |
| ty | ok | 01:28 |
| sere | slayton, kfontview | 01:28 |
| ty | testingserver: look in your bios startup screen | 01:28 |
| ty | nighthawk08: ok | 01:29 |
| RequinB4 | filthpig: the problem is doing doin the directx its the extra steps required to put it on your screen | 01:29 |

| mistya | hallo! | 01:29 |
| tiyowan | DarkKnight: I can't find any solutions on the forums. I'd recommend you try the 2400 drivers, just get it up and running, and search the Ubuntu forums for anyone else with that model. | 01:29 |
| mistya | i have a kernel problem! | 01:30 |
| RequinB4 | filthpig: conclusion - upgrade and it'll work better, but there's nothing about wine or ubuntu that would make you choose a different card than the one you'd normally upgrade too | 01:30 |
| Veinor | hmm | 01:30 |
| ty | or you can look in hwinfo | 01:30 |
| mistya | my ipw2200 don't work with the latest intrepid kernel.. why? | 01:30 |

| filthpig | hey guys, I just noticed something: When copying flac songs onto my ipod, rhythmbox converts it to mp3 but does not compress the files, so I end up with songs on like 40 mb on the ipod.. that's not quite ideal when you have 2 gb storage :P | 01:46 |
| arrenlex | sug1: It always says that, it doesn't mean anything. As long as it plays... | 01:46 |

| wcdl | could u give me the link to that forum? | 01:54 |
| ty | hold on | 01:54 |
| jrib | hidzalot: you want to install the flashplugin-nonfree package using synaptic. You don't download things manually and install them in general on ubuntu. You install from repositories using synaptic | 01:54 |
| DasE1 | s0|:online ? you mean like log-in on a server ? | 01:54 |
| sug1 | arrenlex: yep. i read this some where. that if you have multiple application open when trying to run another application that needs sound may conflict with it | 01:54 |
| itai_michaelson | ,hi , you know how some applications minimise themsleves into the panel in gnome, like skype . is there a package for that, i'm trying to get that in XFCE | 01:54 |
| arrenlex | ddgoose: Really? I don't know anything about that software... but it's been a long time I've seen something that wasn't a sound server take exclusive control. Why does it do that? | 01:54 |
| NotADJ | hidzalot: If you can't do what jrib said, you can try http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash | 01:54 |

I have a guide here, but it's for xp and vista doesnt have the correct files to follow the tut.

| arrenlex | sug1: Not for many years. alsa has had dmix for forever now, which makes sure multiple applications can use alsa at once and get their sound streams nicely mixed together. | 01:55 |

| anfangs | arrenlex: using SSH to connect to my machine behind a router, is that what is referred to as SSH tunneling? | 01:55 |
| DasE1 | Ferrous: you could use dd from a live cd , if external is at least as big as internal | 01:56 |
| NotADJ | anfangs: Not exactly... | 01:56 |
| jrib | hidzalot: this is easier (once you learn about it) and it's also a lot safer since you are installing trusted programs and not downloading random code from the internet! | 01:56 |
| arrenlex | anfangs: No. ssh tunnelling is using an ssh connection for other protocols, like running tcp over ssh. | 01:56 |
| anfangs | ok | 01:56 |
| NotADJ | ssh user@host -D 8000 is a tunnel. | 01:56 |
| slayton | arrenlex, you can tell ssh to use a different port instead of port 20 | 01:56 |
| sambagirl1 | when you are using apache where do they store the main html file? i forget. | 01:56 |
| slayton | 22 | 01:56 |
| arrenlex | sug1: ddgoose indicates that teamspeak takes exclusive control of the audio soundcard for some reason. Not much you can do about it if that is the case. I don't know of any other programs other than sound servers which do that. | 01:56 |
| sug1 | arrenlex: i had the same issue with teamspeak, but i found some command to change alsa to another audio format and it worked.... what should i do about my mplaer | 01:57 |
| slayton | sambagirl1, try #apache | 01:57 |
| jrib | sambagirl1: default web root in ubuntu is /var/www/ | 01:57 |
| sambagirl1 | thanks | 01:57 |
| sambagirl1 | thanks jribe | 01:57 |
| joeb3_ | sambagirl1, /var/www | 01:57 |
| Ferrous | the external is ten times bigger than the internal hard drive, DasE1. Oi. This keeps getting more and more complicated :P | 01:57 |
| slayton | anfangs, do you know what ports are available? | 01:57 |
| s0| | DasE1, I mean like the partition is in use mounted and all | 01:58 |
| JasonWoof | my ~/Desktop is a symbolic link. When I log in, it uses ~/ as the desktop folder. How do I get it to use ~/Desktop? | 01:58 |
| sug1 | arrenlex: on a side note, how do i install mplayer with gui? sudo apt-get install mplayer-gui *i would like to install it through the terminal | 01:58 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: are you sure? What does 'ls -ld ~/Desktop/' return? | 01:58 |
| arrenlex | sug1: When you run the "gmplayer" command, does it say command not found? | 01:58 |
| JasonWoof | when I double-click Desktop I see the folder contents, I have write access and everything | 01:58 |
| [e]Lement | ......... | 01:58 |
| [e]Lement | JasonWoof, that doesn't make much sense | 01:58 |
| anfangs | slayton: it's the apartment complex's routers. I do not even know how to tell what ports are available. | 01:59 |
| jrib | sug1: the mplayer package includes the gui | 01:59 |
| [e]Lement | JasonWoof, your Desktop and your Home are different. | 01:59 |
| [e]Lement | ~/ = Home | 01:59 |
| slayton | anfangs, you can use nmap to see which ports are open | 01:59 |
| DasE1 | Ferrous: very easy, boot to a live cd and use dd like dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb, then you only have to set boot from usb in bios (and have some time for copy) | 01:59 |
| wcdl | ty: thanks man | 01:59 |
| sug1 | arrenlex: jrib: hahahah never had to use the gui versio of it before. thanks :D | 01:59 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: drwx------------- ... /home/kelly/Desktop/ | 01:59 |
| wcdl | ill read it later | 02:00 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: without the / at the end it shows the alias | 02:00 |
| JasonWoof | eg ends with: Desktop -> /mnt/hostdesktop | 02:00 |
| DasE1 | s0|:that won't work, boot to a live cd (f.e. gparted live) | 02:00 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: ok. So it's not a symlink. It is a different issue. What does this return: gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir | 02:00 |
| mortuis99 | i tried installing with sudo apt get pidgin 2.5.2 and the package want found | 02:00 |
| NotADJ | mortuis99: No spaces | 02:00 |
| DasE1 | Ferrous: see man dd | 02:00 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: what? | 02:00 |
| joeb3_ | mortuis99, sudo apt-get install pidgin | 02:01 |
| RequinB4 | moruis99: case sensitive and no spaces -you can apt-cache search pidgin for the exact alias next time | 02:01 |
| arrenlex | mortuis99: What version of ubuntu? | 02:01 |
| valros | hey about pidgin, how can i set it up to autostart? | 02:01 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: which part wasn't clear? | 02:01 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: if you put a / after an alias dir, it shows the real dir, not the alias | 02:01 |
| mortuis99 | <arrenlex>HH | 02:01 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: why would ls print gconftool? | 02:01 |
| jrib | mortuis99: I told you already that you need to install it from hardy-backports | 02:01 |
| arrenlex | mortuis99: 2.5.2 is in backports. | 02:01 |
| arrenlex | !backports | mortuis99 | 02:01 |
| ubottu | mortuis99: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 02:01 |

| mortuis99 | <joeb3_> that installs an older ver of | 02:01 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: it wouldn't... I gave you a new command to run | 02:01 |
| valros | k | 02:01 |
| jrib | mortuis99: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy pidgin | 02:02 |
| anfangs | slayton: got nmap. trying to use now. | 02:02 |
| joeb3_ | mortuis99, apt-get update to update your repos. | 02:02 |
| jrib | !pastebin > mortuis99 | 02:02 |
| ubottu | mortuis99, please see my private message | 02:02 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: it is definitely a symlink. you gave me the wrong command to test that | 02:02 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: no, I didn't... | 02:02 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: this will show the dest dir: "ls -d symlink/" | 02:03 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: this will show the link: "ls -d symlink" | 02:03 |

| linuxmain | vim has karma of 3. | 02:03 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: show me the command you run and the output that makes you think it is a symlink on pastebin | 02:03 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: ah, ok. I see what you mean. I didn't realize that | 02:04 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: so just don't make it a symlink anymore | 02:04 |
| anfangs | slayton: should I just do "nmap [my remote IP]" ? | 02:04 |
| FAJ | hi i am trying to decrypt an email, but it keeps saying; secret key not found... I am sure i have the correct key from the owner... | 02:04 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: I want my desktop to display a mounted drive. it's mounted at boot time in /etc/fstab | 02:05 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: seems weird to mount it in my home directory | 02:05 |
| ehazlett | i try to execute a binary and it says file not found... but shows up in ls and is executable... any ideas? | 02:05 |
| JasonWoof | could do that though I guess | 02:05 |
| lipinski | JasonWoof: ls -ld symlink will show if it's a symlink | 02:05 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: why don't you just make Desktop a directory of its own instead of a symlink? | 02:05 |
| arrenlex | ehazlett: Are you running it from the local directory? "./executablefile" rather than just "executablefile" | 02:05 |
| [e]Lement | JasonWoof, you are using Ubuntu correct? | 02:06 |
| aloode | Hey urgent!!! how do i set sda2 to sda1~??? here: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z101/goneburger/Screenshot-8.png | 02:06 |
| JasonWoof | lipinski: yep, and "ls -dl symlink/" will show the dest dir | 02:06 |
| slayton | anfangs, you should have an IP like 192.168.X.X or something like that your router will give you an IP... get the IP of another computer and scan _that_ ip. You want your scan to go through your router and to be a scan of inbound traffic | 02:06 |
| JasonWoof | elpargo: correct | 02:06 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: or do you want Desktop to be a symlink to the mounted drive? | 02:06 |
| mortuis99 | jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/80109/ | 02:06 |
| JasonWoof | [e]Lement: correct | 02:06 |
| slayton | anfangs, read the nmap manual ( with man nmap) | 02:06 |
| === slayton is now known as slayton_away | ||
| [e]Lement | What did you do that's causing it to not show mounted volumes on the desktop? Lol | 02:06 |
| elpargo | JasonWoof, 99% sure that wasn't with me | 02:06 |
| aloode | windows wont start im not sure why, i think i have to make sda2 turn into sda1!? | 02:07 |
| [e]Lement | Mine always shows mounted volumes, always has. | 02:07 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: ~/Desktop is a symlink to the mounted drive. If I can, I'd like to keep it that way | 02:07 |
| jrib | mortuis99: you don't have hardy-backports enabled. Enable them in Software Sources | 02:07 |
| JasonWoof | elpargo: correct. sorry about that | 02:07 |
| [e]Lement | [e]Lement, | 02:07 |
| elpargo | no biggie | 02:07 |
| [e]Lement | =X | 02:07 |
| ehazlett | arrenlex: yes: ./executable | 02:07 |
| RequinB4 | [e]Lement: That's really easy to turn off, I did it the day I installed this OS | 02:07 |
| nighthawk08 | I succeeded with reinstalling the network card,. now I can see the eth0, in the ifconfig,. though I do not know how to configure it,. any help....? | 02:07 |
| [e]Lement | Aye | 02:08 |
| arrenlex | ehazlett: You're sure it's not a broken symlink? What does the command "file ./executable" say about it? | 02:08 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: so you're saying the symlink is correct however nautilus is displaying ~ instead of Desktop? What did that gconftool-2 command return for you? | 02:08 |
| [e]Lement | I probably could as well, seeing as I have my mounted drives showing up in one of my panels | 02:08 |
| aloode | im trying to follow this to get it to work: http://pennsylvania.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=2da3b43852b1e4244d3f0ebe0ee78a7c&p=5952892&postcount=10 | 02:08 |
| aloode | but i dont really understand it | 02:08 |
| ehazlett | arrenlex: not it's not a symlink. it is a executable (binary) i built it with ubuntu and then moved it to another system. i thought it may be a library issue, but the file not found through me off... | 02:09 |
| aloode | does deleting a partition with fdisk not delete data? | 02:09 |

| [e]Lement | Hm... | 02:18 |
| [e]Lement | Maybe you should partition an ext3 partition at about 1 GB in size | 02:18 |
| [e]Lement | And install GRUB there | 02:18 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: sorry for my reluctance to paste, I had chat running on a different computer, and this computer I'm having desktop troubles with doesn't have a middle click or an insert key | 02:18 |
| aloode | k | 02:18 |
| anfangs | arrenlex: technically the ubuntu is running in a VM with bridged networking on the server 2008 box | 02:18 |
| [e]Lement | Make sure to set it bootable | 02:18 |
| RequinB4 | aloode | 02:18 |
| lipinski | zerodevice: if you want to save the crontab to another file (say to transfer to another system, etc.), crontab -l > savefile | 02:18 |
| RequinB4 | you can get a free windows recovery iso online | 02:18 |
| arrenlex | anfangs: Does the ubuntu vm have a unique IP? | 02:19 |
| aloode | oh? | 02:19 |
| dietwater | I read the man on tee..whats the point again? | 02:19 |
| stdin | [e]Lement: only windows checks the bootable flag | 02:19 |
| aloode | ive been searching for it for over two days, i could not find it :S | 02:19 |
| dietwater | Well, what new does it do? | 02:19 |
| D-MAN | how dio i get my flash player to work in hardy? | 02:19 |
| dietwater | Other than > and >>. | 02:19 |
| aloode | do you have the link by anychance RequinB4? | 02:19 |
| [e]Lement | stdin, yeah that can cause problems sometimes. | 02:19 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: works ok for me, even if I point it to a different partition. Can you get nautilus to display ~/Desktop if you make it a directory (just to debug). Click on your desktop and hit F5 to reload after making changes | 02:19 |
| dietwater | Ah, -a etc? | 02:19 |
| aloode | i cannot for the life of me find it online :S | 02:19 |
| RequinB4 | dietwater: anycommand | tee file.txt pipes the output of anycommand to stdout as well as to the file | 02:19 |
| jrib | D-MAN: install the flashplugin-nonfree package | 02:19 |
| RequinB4 | aloode, no sorry, use google :P | 02:20 |
| aloode | ... | 02:20 |
| stdin | dietwater: tee lets you raise your permissions too, so "echo foo | sudo tee -a /etc/somefile" works | 02:20 |
| aloode | so you in fact are not sure yourself? | 02:20 |
| dietwater | Well why use that instead of >? | 02:20 |
| D-MAN | jrib did that | 02:20 |
| aloode | because i have searched high and low for it | 02:20 |
| aloode | and cannot find it | 02:20 |
| RequinB4 | stdin: that's actually very important | 02:20 |
| dietwater | Ah. | 02:20 |
| aloode | using google | 02:20 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: sure. oh, one thing I forgot to tell you, I did boot/login without anything at ~/Desktop once | 02:20 |
| jrib | D-MAN: then you are done | 02:20 |
| zerodevice | arrenlex, thanks so, if i were to make it autoshutdown, what should i do? coz the tutorial says use autoclose.cgi, but i dont have that. and im not good ar pearl as well | 02:20 |
| anfangs | arrenlex: i'm sorry. i lied. I have been using NAT to share the host IP. | 02:20 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: maybe that goofed up my settings or something | 02:20 |
| anfangs | arrenlex: i am trying to use bridged now.. | 02:21 |
| DavidCanarias | I am trying to do a speed test for my broadband and keep being told I need Flash Player. I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10... Can anyone please tell me how to install Flash Player using the Terminal? Thks. | 02:21 |
| lipinski | dietwater: use tee if you want output (say, from echo) to display to stdout AND to the file. Use > or >> if you don't want output to display to stdout, only redirected to file. | 02:21 |
| D-MAN | jrib not working when i try to watch you tube | 02:21 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 02:21 |
| dietwater | Oh, dumb me. Thanks. | 02:21 |
| cfedde | How can I teach ubuntu-server to automount SD and usb drives when they are attached? | 02:21 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: what's f5 supposed to do? I just got a ~ in my terminal | 02:22 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: Thks I am doing this now. | 02:22 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: oh, sorry, it reloads when I don't focus the term | 02:22 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: I meant to click on the desktop and hit f5, so it reloads. What does ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs say for desktop? | 02:22 |
| dietwater | lipinski: Sorry for off-topic, but someone asked me today how you wait for a previous command to finish in terminal then do another. Like pipe but no output->input, just wait for finish | 02:23 |
| arrenlex | zerodevice: Do it like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-353182.html | 02:23 |
| jrib | D-MAN: that's kind of vague. pastebin the contents of the page you get when you put "about:plugins" in your address bar | 02:23 |
| RequinB4 | dietwater: man wait | 02:23 |
| dietwater | lipinski: Like mkdir test then cd test | 02:23 |
| arrenlex | lipinski: foo && bar # runs bar if and only if foo completes successfully | 02:23 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: Terminal tells me its installed so do I have to do anything else please? | 02:23 |
| mortuis99 | jrib thenk you for the help on updating ....... im still having problems connecting pidgin to yahoo can you help? | 02:23 |
| arrenlex | lipinski: foo ; bar # runs bar whether or not foo fails | 02:23 |
| dietwater | What if it takes 10 seconds? .10 seconds? | 02:23 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: ahh hah! that one says home | 02:23 |
| dietwater | I swear this was built in | 02:23 |
| jrib | dietwater: command1; command2 | 02:23 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: restart your browser | 02:23 |
| dietwater | Maybe not | 02:23 |
| dietwater | Thanks | 02:23 |
| blahblahx | how can i easily install headers for my running kernel and where will they be? | 02:24 |
| JasonWoof | jrib: so can I just delete my ~/.config and log in again? | 02:24 |
| stdin | dietwater: command1 && command2 | 02:24 |
| dietwater | Perfect, ty. | 02:24 |
| RequinB4 | dietwater: it depends on what exactly you are trying to do | 02:24 |
| dietwater | && is at same time correct?\ | 02:24 |
| stdin | no | 02:24 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: should be easy enough to just edit the file if you want | 02:24 |
| D-MAN | jrib what does that mean? | 02:24 |
| arrenlex | !headers | blahblahx | 02:24 |
| ubottu | blahblahx: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 02:24 |
| D-MAN | jrib lamens please | 02:24 |
| stdin | dietwater: && will only run the nest command if the previous was successful | 02:24 |
| dietwater | Thanks. | 02:25 |
| zerodevice | arrenlex , thanks | 02:25 |
| blahblahx | arrenlex: is that command one line? | 02:25 |
| stdin | dietwater: & is to background | 02:25 |
| arrenlex | blahblahx: Yes. | 02:25 |
| dietwater | Makes sense, I forgot how similar bash is to c except the awesome use of symbols | 02:25 |
| dietwater | yes I know & thanks =P | 02:25 |
| RequinB4 | dietwater: command1 & puts command1 into background and you can do other stuff in your shell | 02:25 |
| jrib | dietwater: command1; command2 runs command2 regardless of whether command1 exited successfully. command1 && command2 only runs command2 if command1 was successful | 02:25 |
| _bk_cutz | Hi! im receiving "No devices detected" at Ubuntu installation. Somebody help me? | 02:25 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: Did all that and tried my speed test to be told I need Flash Player | 02:25 |
| RequinB4 | dietwater: 'wait' waits for all commands in your shell to stop before proceeding | 02:25 |
| Shihan | hi guys... i've installed a package... which created a user but the system seems to think the user doesnt exist... is there somewhere in ubuntu besides /etc/passwd (shadow, group, etc) that deals with user info? | 02:25 |

| jrib | !pastebin | dietwater | 02:26 |
| ubottu | dietwater: 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) | 02:26 |
| RequinB4 | dietwater: read man wait, it depends on your arguments | 02:26 |

| DavidCanarias | stdin: Yes you are right Firefox | 02:27 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: go to about:plugins in the address bar and see if lists Shockwave Flash | 02:27 |
| arrenlex | aloode: Don't depend on that... have a backup when you do partition stuff, and also you should copy and then delete the original when you're sure it worked, to be safe. | 02:27 |

| JasonWoof | lol | 02:35 |
| Ricket | Is it a good idea to use the 64-bit version of ubuntu? is the compatibility of it with hardware similar to that of the 32-bit version? will my nvidia 7900gs card be hardware accelerated? and it can run 32-bit programs still, right? | 02:35 |
| mortuis99 | i have updated the pidgin to the latest version and am still having trouble that i cant log onto yahoo can someone help? | 02:35 |
| joeb3_ | klaxian, system, preferences, removable drives. | 02:35 |
| [e]Lement | mortuis99, I would get in contact with Pidgin's support. | 02:35 |
| jrib | mortuis99: try #pidgin | 02:35 |
| mortuis99 | k | 02:35 |
| klaxian | joeb3_: i don't have that | 02:35 |
| usser | Ricket, i'd recommend it, nvidia should work no problem, 32 bit support is excellent and u can now run flash and java in firefox without jumping through hoops | 02:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | mortuis99: i'm having no problem getting onto yahoo w/ an up to date pidgin... are you using a proxy | 02:36 |
| rdw200169 | [e]Lement: ah, i was jumping in the middle of the converstation | 02:36 |
| arrenlex | Ricket: Your biggest problem will probably be flash player compatibility. Most everything else is supported. Yes, you can still use nvidia. Yes, you can run 32-bit programs, but it might be a little painful, I don't think it ships with 32-bit libraries by default | 02:36 |
| arrenlex | Ricket: How much RAM do you have? | 02:36 |
| joelmca | Does exim install and run by default on Ubuntu Hardy? Thanks. | 02:36 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: Did that no problems. How can I test it is OK | 02:36 |
| Ricket | arrenlex: 2gb | 02:36 |
| usser | arrenlex, i just tried adobe's 64 bit plugin, works like a champ | 02:36 |
| joeb3_ | klaxian, I'm on ub 7.10. What do you have? | 02:36 |
| klaxian | joeb3_: 8.10 :) | 02:36 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: restart firefox again and see if it shows up | 02:36 |
| rdw200169 | joelmca: no | 02:36 |
| mortuis99 | IndyGunFreak no proxy | 02:36 |
| jrib | Ricket: flash isn't really a problem on 64bit anymore. You won't have a java plugin from sun though (you can use icedtea) | 02:36 |
| [e]Lement | I can haz iceweasel? | 02:37 |
| arrenlex | Ricket: You won't really get any benefits from a 64-bit system then... | 02:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | mortuis99: thats very strange, i'll ask the obvious, are you sure you're username/password is correct? | 02:37 |
| Makuseru | Is there any program in Ubuntu that can handle .mdf/.mds(Alcohol 120%'s file format)? | 02:37 |
| arrenlex | Ricket: 64-bit is useful when you have >=4GB of ram | 02:37 |
| [e]Lement | Btw rdw200169, it's cool. We all do it. Lol | 02:37 |
| ComradeHaz | No [e]Lement you muppet, you cannot 'haz' anything. | 02:37 |

| [e]Lement | MASTEROFMADNESS, get one on Debian GNU/Linux | 03:03 |
| DasE1 | starhawk: does the busybox appear at installing or at first boot ? | 03:03 |
| starhawk | [e]Lement while installing | 03:04 |
| MASTEROFMADNESS | is the terminal the same for all linux brands? | 03:04 |
| thiebaude | DavidCanarias: did flash work? | 03:04 |
| [e]Lement | Huh? | 03:04 |
| nazrth1 | any one in here know how to convert a ubuntu 8.10 32bit install to a 64bit install , with out reinstalling everything? | 03:04 |
| [e]Lement | Impossible | 03:04 |
| jrib | nazrth1: nope | 03:04 |
| [e]Lement | You have to reinstall | 03:04 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: This is the location /home/david/Desktop/Downloads | 03:04 |
| starhawk | DasE1 while installing | 03:04 |
| DavidCanarias | thiebaude: Nop!!!! | 03:04 |
| DasE1 | starhawk: (nick is DasE1) did you check the cd for defects ? | 03:05 |
| nazrth1 | iv done it with gentoo | 03:05 |
| joeb3_ | nazrth1, backup your data. reinstall | 03:05 |
| woody86 | can someone help me out getting my wireless card to work? the light on the computer illuminates, but NM doesn,t list any networks | 03:05 |
| nazrth1 | so why can one do it with this install | 03:05 |
| [e]Lement | okay...... | 03:05 |
| starhawk | DasE1 yes | 03:05 |
| [e]Lement | Thats gentoo | 03:05 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: then "cd /home/david/Desktop/Downloads" then "./flashplayer-installer". you can check with "ls" after you cd to see if the file is there | 03:05 |
| [e]Lement | This is.....Ubuntuuuuuuuuuuuuu fail =/ | 03:05 |
| Zoffix | Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 from a "Minimal" CD and I'm having a hard time installing "Restricted Drivers Manager". Anyone have a clue in which package that thing is? | 03:05 |
| nazrth1 | ok thx all | 03:06 |
| RequinB4 | [e]Lement stop being abrasive | 03:06 |
| DasE1 | starhawk: try bootoptions then, like noapic, nolapic... | 03:06 |
| malibu | Azureus uses up way too much memory. Does anyone know of a light weight torrent client that A) downloads multiple files in one windows, and B) has a 'move when completed' option.. This is all I need. | 03:06 |
| arrenlex | Zoffix: restricted-manager I think | 03:06 |
| mystik | hi everyone | 03:06 |
| starhawk | DasE1: what dose that do | 03:06 |
| DasE1 | !bootoptions | starhawk | 03:06 |
| ubottu | starhawk: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 03:06 |
| arrenlex | malibu: I know ktorrent does, but you may not want to install all the kde dependencies... try transmission? | 03:06 |
| mystik | does someone knows if the intel G45 chipset with GMA 4500hd works fine now on intrepid? | 03:07 |
| malibu | transmission looks good but it does not have move when complete. | 03:07 |
| malibu | Not the one in the ubuntu repo, anyway | 03:07 |
| [e]Lement | Is Azureus still being supported in the 8.10 releases? | 03:07 |
| starhawk | DasE1: ok thank you i will do that for now | 03:07 |
| arrenlex | malibu: Ah. Try ktorrent, I guess. I know it does. | 03:07 |
| yowshi | anyone have any idea how to restart npviewer.bin so i can get flash to work without closing firefox every 15 bloody minutes? | 03:07 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: Not getting anywhere now told: command not found | 03:07 |
| alarond_ | DavidCanarias: butting in (i know). why don't u try this - go to some site that requires flash, like metacafe.com or something. then firefox will promt for u to download the additional plugins. | 03:07 |
| [e]Lement | My torrent sites are complaining because Azureus is too old | 03:07 |
| DasE1 | starhawk: it supresses certain hardare specs to make ubuntu install, most times after the install ubuntu can handle the sys without that | 03:07 |
| JECHO | use transmission | 03:07 |
| [e]Lement | brb | 03:07 |
| [e]Lement | I think I'm gonna upgrade to 8.10 | 03:07 |
| malibu | Ok.. I already use k3b and k8copy.. | 03:08 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: what's the output of "ls" | 03:08 |
| nazrth1 | oh one more thing , does any one know any info , on the DOD project on teleporting objects , in france this week ? | 03:08 |
| Zoffix | arrenlex, uh, that is it. It shows up in Synaptic here at the home box, but I searched for "restricted" at $work on that "minimal" install and didn't see it. Well, at least now I know for sure the name of the package. Gonna check the sources tomorrow. Thanks. | 03:08 |
| thiebaude | alarond_:that was my thought too | 03:08 |
| alarond_ | :) | 03:08 |
| malibu | ..so probably not that much more to install | 03:08 |
| arrenlex | Zoffix: I'm looking at packages.ubuntu.com -- seems it's not a full package anymore, but is provided by jockey-gtk | 03:08 |
| * Zoffix writes that down | 03:09 | |
| malibu | JECHO: Transmission does not move when complete | 03:09 |
| mystik | is GMA 4500hd working fine now on intrepid? | 03:09 |

| malibu | JECHO: Some clients move a file to another directory when they are complete | 03:09 |
| malibu | JECHO: I need this, and Transmission does not do it | 03:09 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: After typing in what you said up pops this message : david@david-desktop:~/Desktop/Downloads/install_flash_player_10_linux$ | 03:10 |
| JECHO | ah you want incomplete files to be stored in a different area? | 03:10 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: what's the output of "ls" from that directory? | 03:10 |
| JECHO | ktorrent does that for sure. | 03:10 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: I typed in ls and up came quite a lot of text. Shall I past it here | 03:10 |
| malibu | JECHO: Right.. | 03:11 |
| malibu | JECHO: Yeah i'm trying ktorrent. | 03:11 |
| DasE1 | !paste | DavidCanarias | 03:11 |

| DavidCanarias | stdin: Or do I have to type in something else as well as ls ? | 03:11 |
| JECHO | malibu: good luck | 03:11 |
| malibu | JECHO: I'm also trying mem optimizations to Azureus | 03:11 |
| arrenlex | DavidCanarias: Are you trying to install flash manually? Why don't you just go to www.homestarrunner.com and click "install plugin"? No fuss :) | 03:11 |
| carpeliam | my router is kind of funky, i need to reset it a lot- but i can always log into the router at 192.168.0.1 from windows when it goes down from Windows, never from Ubuntu- anybody know why that would be? | 03:11 |

| stdin | !headers | blahblahx | 03:13 |
| === shane_ is now known as ShaneAu | ||
| ubottu | blahblahx: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 03:13 |
| thiebaude | nazrth1: i heard something about dec 12 and thats all | 03:13 |
| giojotoca | join #ubuntu-es | 03:13 |
| blahblahx | stdin: yeah but how do i install those accompanying -dev packages? | 03:13 |
| arrenlex | blahblahx: The kernel headers are devel packages... what are you trying to do? | 03:13 |
| nazrth1 | thx | 03:14 |
| blahblahx | arrenlex: uhh install vmware tools in a vmware virtual machine. | 03:14 |

| DasE1 | nazrth1:join #ubuntu+1 | 03:14 |
| klaxian | please please help | 03:14 |
| arrenlex | blahblahx: You shouldn't need any dev tools to do that, it should just mount an .iso inside your vm which you install from | 03:14 |
| thiebaude | nazrth1: i think something should be out after the developers conference | 03:14 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste in all the output from ls and click "Paste!", then post back the URL here | 03:15 |
| yowshi | anyone have any idea how to restart npviewer.bin so i can get flash to work without closing firefox every 15 bloody minutes? | 03:15 |
| blahblahx | arrenlex: right i did. but one of the things wont compile. it tells me to check my kernel headers, gcc, make, and binutils. i have all of those installed (im pretty sure: i installed build-essential) | 03:15 |
| swagga | what is the terminal command equivalent to ipconfig in windows? | 03:15 |
| klaxian | swagga: ifconfig | 03:15 |
| DasE1 | swagga: ifup, pppoeconf or ifconfig, basically ... | 03:16 |
| malibu | I have a gnome-terminal process using 112MB RAM... Is that normal?? | 03:16 |
| arrenlex | blahblahx: Are you on intrepid? It might just be too old, I ran into that a few times. The kernel's api changes in subtle ways from release to release, annoyingly enough... sometimes that breaks things until vmware can fix them. | 03:16 |
| arrenlex | swagga: ifconfig | 03:16 |
| klaxian | malibu: it's possible that a lot of that is cached | 03:16 |
| jrib | yowshi: are you on intrepid? | 03:16 |
| DavidCanarias | stdin: I went to the site, put in David Canarias and copied text.... up came the same thing again..... but where do I get the reference from? | 03:16 |

| stdin | DavidCanarias: what address is in the address bar now? | 03:17 |
| malibu | the process is gnome-terminal | 03:17 |
| blahblahx | arrenlex: hmm ill wait then i guess. although i installed my system from ubuntu minimal and i was wondering if i was missing any packages. (it worked for me a few weeks ago in ibex) | 03:17 |

| sambagirl1 | what should the permissions, group and owner be for www when i put joomla in there? | 03:18 |
| thiebaude | malibu: gnome terminal shouldn't use that much | 03:18 |
| joeb3_ | klaxian, can you run gnome-volume-properties ? | 03:18 |
| arrenlex | blahblahx: If you have build-essential and the kernel headers, you should have everything you need. What was the error it gave you? | 03:18 |
| yowshi | jrib: how do i find out if i am running the intrepid kernelk. the hardy kernel options still remained in my boot thingy so i may have loaded that by accident | 03:19 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: I meant from the ~/Desktop/Downloads/install_flash_player_10_linux directory | 03:19 |
| klaxian | joeb3_: brasero somehow made itself the default and there is a known bug with it so i need to use nautilus-cd-burner instead | 03:19 |

| DasE1 | malibu:an empty prompt won't consume so much, but of course you can run very exhaustive cmd's in there | 03:19 |
| klaxian | joeb3_: so now i can open that...however, there is notihng in there about the cd burner app | 03:20 |
| stdin | DavidCanarias: ok, type in "cd ~/Desktop/Downloads/install_flash_player_10_linux" then "ls" and post that. (And don't close the terminal) | 03:20 |

| blahblahx | arrenlex: the important part says: "... after making sure that gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine." | 03:20 |
| yowshi | jrib: what the heck is proposed? | 03:20 |
| joeb3_ | klaxian, storage tab at bottom. not what you need ? | 03:20 |
| jrib | yowshi: repository | 03:20 |

| klaxian | joeb3_: i do not see a storage tab | 03:21 |
| yowshi | jrib: full sentences please | 03:21 |
| jrib | jvrmrtn: it's no longer in the repositories (see the debian bug for why). Consider using irssi or weechat instead | 03:21 |

| rileyw4 | wastrel: Do you think it could have something to do with Compiz? I had Compiz installed, then uninstalled it shortly after, but I may not have properly ended its processes or something, I just closed it. | 03:34 |

| marshall | i often get these hard system lockups that cause me to restart my laptop, i just got another one and decided to check my /var/log/kern.log and found that my wifi was messing up a fair bit (output pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m5588910 ), any ideas how i could resolve this issue? | 03:39 |
| Semidios | it was a new install this morning, then I uninstalled everything related to pulse-audio because it messes up lots of things I need to have working. | 03:39 |
| histo | Semidios, if you think its a specific problem with your user you can temporarily mv your .gconf folder | 03:39 |
| LooieENG | how would I get drivers for my wlan? | 03:39 |
| jjrosaria | sorry, When I connect to Wireless it detects my router but When I try connecting it doesnt its just stuck to connecting and it does not connect. Sometimes it does connect but my comp freezes | 03:39 |
| DasE1 | LooieENG: see | 03:40 |
| DasE1 | !wifi | 03:40 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:40 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: It appears that pulse audio was required to run | 03:40 |
| LooieENG | thank you DasE1 | 03:40 |
| Semidios | lavacano201014, if that was true I wouldn't be able to run in failsafe | 03:40 |
| Semidios | histo, is there any place startup items might be hiding? | 03:40 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: Failsafe doesn't use audio, methinks | 03:40 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: Whatever desktop environment you WANT to use does... | 03:41 |
| shbika | .. | 03:41 |
| Semidios | lavacano201014, its still Gnome... | 03:41 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: Reinstall pulse audio, and set whatever has problems with it to ALSA | 03:41 |
| Semidios | lavacano201014, and my audio is working perfectly in failsafe | 03:41 |
| histo | Semidios, well most of your user prefs are in /home/<username>/.gconf You can mv /home/<username>/.gconf /home/<username>/.gconf.old and then try to login to see if its a setting thats aprboelm | 03:42 |
| Semidios | histo, will do | 03:42 |
| mezquitale | what app comparable go amarok would you recommend for GNOME? I only use it to play my mp3z and make CD's from my playlists | 03:42 |
| LooieENG | long shot | 03:43 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: If that doesn't work, then there must be a reason GNOME wants pulse audio | 03:43 |
| LooieENG | anyone know if the RTL8187B works on 8.10? | 03:43 |
| izinucs | mezquitale, exhaile, rythmbox | 03:43 |
| LooieENG | all I can find on Google is stuff from like 2007/7.x | 03:43 |
| lavacano201014 | LooieENG: Worth a try! | 03:43 |
| lavacano201014 | If it doesn't work right off the bat, you could always fiddle with stuff | 03:43 |
| mezquitale | izinucs, thanks i will try them both | 03:44 |
| lavacano201014 | Maybe make it THINK that it's another similar piece of hardware (like a model that's a year older or something) | 03:44 |
| LooieENG | I seem to remember it didn't work on 8.04 | 03:44 |
| LooieENG | any change it will work on 8.10? | 03:44 |
| Semidios | lavacano201014, but the failsafe is gnome... and all this stuff worked before I upgraded to intrepid. then i started getting bus errors related to pulseaudio | 03:44 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: Well, I don't USE failsafe, so how am I supposed to know that? | 03:45 |
| yanko | hi all | 03:45 |
| lavacano201014 | Wait. | 03:45 |
| lavacano201014 | Hmm. | 03:45 |
| amt2 | Hi, I am trying to compile IPC. The readme file says I should be able to do 'gmake install', but I get 'command not found'. What do I need to do so that 'gmake' works? | 03:46 |
| Semidios | lavacano201014, from all i've read failsafe just doesn't launch anything at log in. | 03:46 |
| lavacano201014 | Semidios: New distribution might mean newer version of pulse audio (hopefully a version that DOESN'T screw up your stuff) | 03:46 |
| Semidios | lavacano201014, new distribution is the one that is screwing up my stuff. | 03:47 |
| lavacano201014 | amt2: Use "make install" | 03:47 |

| nimbus | I thought so. | 03:47 |
| nimbus | not much that can be done about that I suppose on the user's end I'd imagine. | 03:47 |
| LooieENG | ok, quick (I hope) question | 03:48 |
| lavacano201014 | amt2: I'm not sure about "gmake", but I think that it's the same as "make" | 03:48 |
| Ohmu | Can anyone help me get a WAP working? I'm nearly there, but stuck! http://pastebin.ca/1275543 | 03:48 |
| lavacano201014 | amt2: So use "make install" | 03:48 |
| Nick924em | i think gmake is more of a BSD thing, you shouldnt really need gmake | 03:48 |
| amt2 | lavacano201014, ok... i did 'make install' and got a bunch of errors.. | 03:48 |
| lavacano201014 | amt2: Pastebin the readme file | 03:49 |

| arrenlex | Lemonwedge: .tar.gz files are compressed archives, just like .zip. Did you download the source for something? Are you sure it's not already in the repositories? | 03:53 |
| exterminator | when I use cfdisk to partion,it shows this: | 03:53 |

| izinucs | biouser, https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive | 03:58 |
| biouser | Eulalia, go to the windows partition sudo rm -rf / | 03:59 |
| izinucs | biouser, if you add those repos you'll be able to upgrade to the latest version. Beware though on first launch you might get an error.. if you do killall -9 gconf<something> fixed it for me. | 04:00 |
| lavacano201014 | biouser: No, he wants to get Ubuntu off his laptop, and put Windows ON it | 04:00 |
| Eulalia | biouser, how do I go to the windows partition? | 04:00 |
| don | I am trying to change the path to my java. I run export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_11 and then source /etc/profile | 04:00 |
| jrib | Eulalia: don't do that | 04:00 |
| lavacano201014 | Eulalia: Do you have a key for XP anywhere? | 04:00 |
| Eulalia | lavacano201014: Nah, I havve both on my laptop right now | 04:00 |
| LooieENG | here goes | 04:00 |
| Eulalia | lavacano201014: No | 04:00 |
| don | and yet, which java still shows /usr/bin/java | 04:00 |
| LooieENG | will hopefully brb in ubuntu | 04:00 |
| lavacano201014 | Eulalia: Oh, never mind, then I have no clue | 04:00 |
| Eulalia | I have both installed on my laptop right now, but I can't boot ubuntu up | 04:01 |
| droopsta915 | What files do I need for music and videos other than w32codecs? | 04:01 |
| lavacano201014 | Eulalia: That's because Windows forces itself into the MBR. | 04:01 |
| lavacano201014 | Because Microsoft sucks. | 04:01 |
| don | How can I change my java path globally and for good? | 04:01 |
| arrenlex | don: Correct, because /usr/bin is earlier in the path than your addition. The supported way to do this is to set alternatives, I think. | 04:01 |
| arrenlex | !alternatives | 04:01 |
| ubottu | To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. | 04:01 |
| don | arrenlex how do I do that? | 04:02 |
| Eulalia | lavacano201014: I've never been able to use ubuntu much...It freezes every time I boot it | 04:02 |
| jschall | i have flashplugin-nonfree installed on ubuntu 8.10 amd64, and it doesn't seem to be working | 04:02 |
| arrenlex | !alternatives | don | 04:02 |

| lavacano201014 | Eulalia: Then your laptop is (quite surprisingly) unable to run it | 04:02 |
| izinucs | !flash | jschall | 04:02 |
| ubottu | jschall: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 04:02 |
| Eulalia | lavacano201014: any idea how to remove it? :> | 04:03 |
| jschall | izinucs: i just reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree and it worked. | 04:03 |
| lavacano201014 | Eulalia: Go in with a LiveCD and delete the Ubuntu partition with GParted. Then resize the Windows partition to take the whole HD. | 04:03 |
| jtaji | droopsta915: ubuntu-restricted-extras is helpful | 04:03 |
| jschall | izinucs: probably because flashplugin-nonfree works in a nonstandard way | 04:03 |
| biouser | Eulalia, sry, I couldn't resist | 04:03 |
| lavacano201014 | Eulalia: Be warned, Windows might get confused to the point where you need to run a repair install on it with a disc | 04:04 |
| don | found a GUI for doing it...thanks for pointing me in the right direction | 04:04 |
| izinucs | jschall, it has issues on 64 bit.. | 04:04 |
| biouser | Eulalia, I wouldn't have let you do that (erase your whole windows partition) | 04:04 |
| jschall | izinucs: apparently not | 04:04 |

| histo | Eulalia, if you just delete the ubuntu partition you will need to run fixmbr from a windows install disk to get rid of grub | 04:04 |
| jschall | izinucs: seems to work perfectly to me | 04:04 |

| sweatshack | I'm using Ubuntu 64, I'm a newb. I just installed the ATI catalyst drivers using the autoinstaller, and now I'm out a GUI.. I just get dropped off at the text terminal. Can anyone tell me how to undo the driver change? | 04:09 |
| biouser | izinucs, it looks like it want to delete them | 04:09 |
| whyameye | izinucs: divx | 04:09 |
| biouser | remove them | 04:09 |
| qcjn | lavacano201014: but is my command right ? | 04:09 |
| Kadko | biouser: I have nothed that when I have installed btcrt for make bridge connections my sound crash | 04:09 |
| lavacano201014 | qcjn: It should work/ | 04:09 |
| lavacano201014 | work.* | 04:09 |
| qcjn | lavacano201014: ok | 04:09 |
| izinucs | biouser, it should update them with new versions | 04:09 |
| harlequin516 | I'm coming from gentoo and centos, how do i install cryptsetup (luks). It appears as though this is not in the repository. I'm using a simple desktop install of Kubuntu 8.10 | 04:09 |
| Alex_Gren | as-t-il quel qu'un qui pourais m'aidé ici...? | 04:10 |
| don | Okay the alternatives GUI didn't change it | 04:10 |
| izinucs | whyameye, ouch.. not sure but check out LiVeS.. you'll probably find a deb on www.getdeb.net | 04:10 |
| arrenlex | whyameye: try mencoder -ovc lavc -oac lavc -audiofile <your audio file> <video file> -o <video output> | 04:10 |
| biouser | qcjn, man mv | 04:10 |
| don | how can I configure the alternatives my self? | 04:10 |
| jtaji | qcjn: your command moves it up one from the current working directory (pwd), not one up from where the file is | 04:10 |
| lavacano201014 | harlequin516: Are you looking for it through the Add/Remove? | 04:10 |
| swagga | is there a less busy ubuntu help channel / server? | 04:10 |
| lavacano201014 | swagga: Not as far as we know | 04:10 |
| lavacano201014 | swagga: If you have Kubuntu, #kubuntu is there | 04:11 |
| arrenlex | swagga: You can always try the ubuntu forums. | 04:11 |
| izinucs | !who | swagga | 04:11 |
| ubottu | swagga: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 04:11 |
| harlequin516 | I tried apt, and the gui. I think maybe I'm not setup with the right repository, but I think the default should be suffiecient (open source wise) | 04:11 |
| swagga | thanks ubottu ;P | 04:11 |
| qcjn | jtaji: tahnks, cause i was wondering where it was | 04:11 |
| smnab | hello. it is possible to set the internet gateway via the /etc/network/interfaces file. But is there any way to do it from a command line? | 04:12 |
| smnab | I couldn't find any gateway option in ifconfig | 04:12 |
| lavacano201014 | harlequin516: Open synaptic, and use the search function in there | 04:12 |
| don | how can I configure my java path in ubuntu here please? | 04:12 |
| lavacano201014 | Look for "cryptsetup" | 04:12 |
| biouser | smnab, that is right and then /etc/init.d/network restart | 04:12 |
| harlequin516 | "aptitude install cryptsetup libpam-mount" doesn't work | 04:12 |
| swagga | so ubuntu is designed so that you login with your super user account but you dont really have that privilege you have to type it in each time you sudo | 04:12 |
| Alex_Gren | yes smagga... its to prevent you from doing something stupid by accident | 04:13 |
| Alex_Gren | swagga* | 04:13 |
| smnab | biouser: yes, but is there a command, like sudo ifconfig gateway eth1, or something like that? | 04:13 |
| sweatshack | can anybody tell me how to undo the ati driver installation I just did? It won't go into a GUI anymore. I tried to run gedit on xorg.conf but it says it can't load the display | 04:13 |
| swagga | alex_gren so are all the gui based linux distros like that? | 04:13 |
| lavacano201014 | swagga: Actually, I think this is the only one | 04:14 |
| swagga | kudo ubuntu | 04:14 |
| swagga | kudos | 04:14 |
| biouser | smnab, to like set a static ip or something? | 04:14 |
| lavacano201014 | swagga: If you like taking risks, you can run entirely as root | 04:14 |
| Alex_Gren | not sure, ive only used ubuntu XD, but i know OsX is like that too | 04:14 |
| harlequin516 | I get this : Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "cryptsetup" | 04:14 |
| swagga | lavacano201014 how would i do that? i am too paranoid to try that but it would be nice to know | 04:14 |
| smnab | biouser: yes, like how you configure static IP's | 04:14 |
| dmsuperman | harlequin516: Enable universe | 04:14 |

| ubottu | 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 | 04:14 |
| dmsuperman | !info cryptsetup | 04:15 |
| ubottu | cryptsetup (source: cryptsetup): configures encrypted block devices. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.6-6ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 102 kB, installed size 452 kB | 04:15 |
| lavacano201014 | swagga: You have to set the password for root, first (with sudo passwd) but after that, you can just login that way (copy your home folder to /root) | 04:15 |
| dmsuperman | Oh, hrm | 04:15 |
| Alex_Gren | and vista has something like that, but you press OK instead of typing your password | 04:15 |
| storrgie | so I just installed mysql on my box, and connected with mysql administrator. I cant see server logs, service control, or startup parameters.... what do i need to change? | 04:15 |
| ChrisDavaz | How do I access the PulseAudio GUI Configuration? | 04:15 |
| isilion | hi! i want to raise fan speed because i got a p4 prescott and its to hot. noyse is not a problem i tryed sensors detect but it seems to noot work properly. sensors command output only gives cpu temp. pwmconfig dont work. please help | 04:15 |
| arrenlex | storrgie: What are you trying to achieve? What are you trying to fix? | 04:16 |
| smnab | isilion: isn't there a BIOS option to run the fan at "Full"? | 04:16 |
| izinucs | swagga, you don't want to run entirely as root.. don't set a root password.. | 04:16 |
| isilion | smnab, not, unaffortunatelly | 04:16 |
| storrgie | arrenlex: i want to have access to service control and startup parameters | 04:16 |
| Alex_Gren | lol i agree with izinuc on this =P | 04:16 |
| qcjn | it seems i have 2 apache running...could someone help me find out wich one is reachable via wan ? | 04:16 |
| Alex_Gren | just type your password and suck it up, its for your own good | 04:16 |
| qcjn | on 2 differnet computers, of course | 04:17 |
| arrenlex | qcjn: I don't think you can have two different apaches running, because they would conflict with each others' ports. Are you sure it's not two children of a single instance? | 04:17 |
| swagga | lavacano201014 thx i dont think im gonna be trying that until i learn more ive been running ubuntu less than a month i even got it installed on my moms computer she says she wants win back but i know she deep down loves it | 04:17 |
| biouser | storrgie, interesting, I don't have the logs in the gui either | 04:17 |
| Alex_Gren | ohhhh family computer... bad place | 04:17 |
| arrenlex | storrgie: Oh, sorry, I don't know anything about that except adding users and the my.cnf file. :( | 04:17 |
| Cpudan80 | How can I execute a process so that I can close my terminal window? | 04:18 |
| storrgie | biouser: do u have service control? | 04:18 |
| arrenlex | Cpudan80: something & | 04:18 |
| Cpudan80 | arrenlex: doesnt work | 04:18 |
| sweatshack | anyone know how to tell Ubuntu 64 bit to use the default video driver instead of the one I just installed? | 04:18 |
| Cpudan80 | arrenlex: If you close the terminal window, the prog dies | 04:18 |
| isilion | smnab, you know lmsensors? | 04:18 |
| Alex_Gren | dude you should have set up unbuntu/windows dualboot.... you get unbuntu, and your mother gets window$ | 04:18 |
| arrenlex | Cpudan80: Works for me... try typing "disown" before closing | 04:18 |
| smnab | isilion: no, unfortunately. I have a BIOS option to set the CPU fan to "auto" or "full" | 04:18 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 04:18 |
| biouser | storrgie, I don't know what that is, but maybe it is b.c those fiels are empyt anyways, mine are | 04:18 |
| harlequin516 | Universe is selected.... Still don't know what's wrong | 04:18 |
| biouser | storrgie, /var/log/mysql | 04:19 |
| izinucs | swagga, good idea.. mom will acclimate. you just need to keep showing her where to find things that she uses.. maybe her own account with icons on the desktop for what she uses. | 04:19 |
| qcjn | arrenlex: well i have 2 computers, and i don't know wich one is the good one..The one one on my computer shouldn't work to my opinion, cause my rooter forwards it to the other one, but the one i see is on my computer | 04:19 |
| subdolus_ | I have dual-monitors set up here and I want both displays to have their own wallpapers... how do I do this? | 04:19 |
| biouser | subdolus_, painting the doghouse again? | 04:19 |
| storrgie | biouser: no i want to be able to check the service control and whatnot | 04:19 |
| whyameye | arrenlex: with your command it plays the audio in mplayer and not in vlc. What wrapper should I use i.e. avi? | 04:19 |
| biouser | storrgie, what is service control? | 04:19 |
| isilion | hi! i want to raise fan speed because i got a p4 prescott and its to hot. noyse is not a problem i tryed sensors detect but it seems to noot work properly. sensors command output only gives cpu temp. pwmconfig dont work. please help | 04:19 |
| subdolus_ | biouser: uhhh sure.. why not.. | 04:19 |
| sweatshack | anyone know how to restore previous video settings if a driver fails? I'm getting tired of reinstalling Ubuntu | 04:19 |
| izinucs | subdolus_, in gnome you'll pull your hair out trying.. in kde you can do it.. but then it's kde and you might not like it. | 04:19 |
| biouser | subdolus_, just pulling your chain, I don't know how to do that though... | 04:20 |
| arrenlex | whyameye: So it produces a file which has audio in mplayer but not in vlc? | 04:20 |
| Theeb | my volume key shortcut does the job twice, even the mute, it mute and unmute with one hit, any solution for that? | 04:20 |
| qcjn | do you see something there http://qcjn.no-ip.org:81/public/ | 04:20 |
| isilion | sweatshack, try nving if yore using nvidia or ati | 04:20 |
| Alex_Gren | gnome is still sexier then kde btw... -.- | 04:20 |
| arrenlex | whyameye: The default wrapper is always avi, and that is fine. | 04:20 |
| izinucs | sweatshack, just 'cause a driver isn't set right is no reason to reinstall .. it's not windows.. there's other ways of fixing most everything. | 04:20 |
| biouser | sweatshack, go with 32bit next time if you do and wait a year to try 64bit again :/ | 04:20 |
| whyameye | arrenlex: yes correct. And it doesn't play audio in totem movie player either | 04:20 |
| isilion | envyng sweatshack | 04:20 |
| subdolus_ | dangsticles. | 04:20 |
| arrenlex | whyameye: What are the options for audio codecs? | 04:20 |
| subdolus_ | all black background it is | 04:21 |
| sweatshack | I'm using ATI. just installed catalyst. I can't get 32 bit to install on the system | 04:21 |
| izinucs | isilion, not good on 64 bit.. espicially if its nvidia.. | 04:21 |
| sweatshack | I have one of those JMicron boards... took me forever just to get any installation working | 04:21 |
| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: Lies! Isn't this pretty? http://arrenlex.aa.am/screenshots/23525.png | 04:21 |
| harlequin516 | From a very standard Kubutntu 8.10 desktop, what should I do from the commandline to get cryptsetup installed? | 04:21 |
| sweatshack | so how do I use "nving" to restore a previous driver set up? | 04:21 |
| Alex_Gren | no i refuse to accept that KDE is sexier then gnome | 04:21 |
| Alex_Gren | i reject your reality | 04:22 |
| isilion | sweatshack, which way did you installed catalyst? propietar y driver from ati website? | 04:22 |
| whyameye | arrenlex: copy, pcm, mp3lame, lavc, twolame, faac | 04:22 |
| izinucs | arrenlex, wow.. that's hi rez.. taking forever to load | 04:22 |
| arrenlex | whyameye: Try lame, I guess. | 04:22 |
| sweatshack | yes. I used the auto installer from the ATI website for the 64 bit one | 04:22 |
| isilion | sweatshack, did you converted them into deb packages before installing? | 04:22 |
| arrenlex | izinucs: Yeah, slow upload speed is slow. :( | 04:22 |
| ReAn | looking for the package name of the SSH Daemon for apt-get, anyone care to indulge me? | 04:22 |
| isilion | sweatshack, wrong, do that nex time. if you want to uninstall driver, just uninstal deb packages | 04:23 |
| sweatshack | no, I just followed what it said to do in the instructions I think. I just ran the installer | 04:23 |
| genii | ReAn: openssh-server | 04:23 |

| kennyyu | hi there. where can i find the source path of the debug symbols | 04:23 |
| kennyyu | ? | 04:23 |
| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: I sort of feel the same way about gnome... although I have it on my laptop because kde refuses to work with the fingerprint reader. | 04:23 |
| kennyyu | thanks! | 04:23 |
| arrenlex | whyameye: Awesome, yw. | 04:23 |
| sweatshack | I'm entirely new to all linux... I don't know how to uninstall anything from a terminal window. I just want to restore my GUI | 04:24 |
| isilion | type xfix sweatshack | 04:24 |
| ReAn | now all i have to do is figure out why ubuntu.com isn't resolving :/ | 04:24 |
| wcdl | sudo apt-get to install anyprogram | 04:24 |
| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: I like that KDE has a configuration option for everything, but at the same time, it's so annoying KDE has a configuration option for everything. :( | 04:24 |
| wcdl | sudo apt-get reinstall | 04:24 |
| Alex_Gren | lol | 04:24 |
| wcdl | to reinstall | 04:24 |
| harlequin516 | I looked up the package on the website, cryptsetup does not have a repository name associated like universe. | 04:24 |
| arrenlex | wcdl: Isn't it sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 04:24 |
| Alex_Gren | i know... thats what i hate about KDE | 04:24 |
| arrenlex | harlequin516: That means it's in the main repositories. | 04:25 |
| arrenlex | harlequin516: So every ubuntu installation should have it available already. | 04:25 |
| wcdl | yes | 04:25 |
| wcdl | my bad | 04:25 |
| sweatshack | xfix didn't do anything | 04:25 |
| harlequin516 | Ugh! Why not me? | 04:25 |
| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: It sure is powerful though... you can get it exactly how you like it. :D | 04:25 |
| wcdl | to remove sudo apt-get remove | 04:25 |
| harlequin516 | Is it possibly bundled into another package? | 04:26 |
| isilion | sweatshack, xfix turns to vesa driver. reboot | 04:26 |
| Alex_Gren | meh dude, i have what i like with gnome =P | 04:26 |
| sweatshack | but it says that xfix was a bad command | 04:26 |
| Alex_Gren | its like my dream GUI right now | 04:26 |
| Alex_Gren | wait ill screen | 04:26 |
| izinucs | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg .. sweatshack do that in terminal | 04:26 |
| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: And I am delighted with kde 3. :) It's perfect for me. It's awesome that Linux has so many things to make everyone happy. | 04:26 |
| Alex_Gren | and i save as a btm..... less time load time =P | 04:27 |
| sweatshack | I have it rebooting, I'll do that as soon as I get to the terminal | 04:27 |
| isilion | sweatshack, reboot in recovery mode and perform xfix | 04:27 |
| qcjn | gnutron: culd you help me a bit ? | 04:27 |
| izinucs | sweatshack, rebooting is typically not necessary for most anything unless you get a kernel upgrade.. there are other ways.. ctrl+alt+backspace will restart the video/X/gui system | 04:28 |
| biouser | izinucs, that link for Ekiga update totally worked.. that needs to get in the amin repo ASAP! | 04:28 |
| biouser | izinucs, thanks a lot for the tip | 04:29 |
| arrenlex | sweatshack: Probably a nicer way to restart the X system is "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" ... ctrl+alt+backspace is mostly for freezes. | 04:29 |
| biouser | I think I will go post it on the forums | 04:29 |
| osxdude|laptop | hey..... | 04:29 |

| Alex_Gren | btw arrenlex.. you said you are using KDE 3.... you did not upgrade to 4 yet,,,,? | 04:32 |

| Matt2 | Hey there, I have followed this guide to the T, and am having no luck. I have attached my post on the Ubuntu support forums, in an effort to be concise and not waste anyone's time. Thanks! | 04:32 |
| Matt2 | I have followed every step exactly, save for the part in the command prompt at the beginning, when you said to press "ctrl + O" in order to save it. This was not the option for me, instead it was to overwrite it. I just decided to exit, unable to find the save feature, could this be why I have not found success? | 04:32 |
| Matt2 | I am trying to use this Ubuntu based pc to authenticate my school's network, then pass the internet onto my wireless router. | 04:32 |
| FloodBot3 | Matt2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:32 |
| Matt2 | I have tried to test the connection by plugging my second network adapter (usb linksys) directly into my laptop (vista). I seemt o connect to the network w/o a problem, (it is called "linksys 3"), but it is local only. I can't seem to see the ubuntu PC either. No luck plugging to into the internet port on my router either. | 04:32 |
| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: Naw, I tried it out a while ago and it wasn't quite there yet. kde 3 is rock solid and configured just the way I like it... I guess I'll upgrade naturally when it gets into debian testing, but hopefully that won't be for a while. | 04:32 |

| arrenlex | Alex_Gren: Naw, I configured it like twice in my life... I just hold onto my .home folder to make sure I don't lose the conf :) | 04:34 |
| amt2 | why am i not able to copy something into /usr/local/bin? | 04:34 |
| Alex_Gren | and nope, i can join #wine too | 04:34 |
| Alex_Gren | lol | 04:34 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, AH.. makes sense.. instead of dual booting you might consider installed win in a vm with virtual box or vmware. vbox is nice and after it's setup less headache.. from there you can do what you need to with the touch.. | 04:34 |
| arrenlex | amt2: You don't have permissions. Put sudo in front of that. | 04:35 |
| Matt2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/80160/ | 04:35 |
| mabus | so I have an eeepc with a 4gb ssd (only lasts so many writes, but is twice as fast as the sdhc) and a 16gb sdhc. What partitions should I move to the sdhc so I have more space and write less, but take advantage of the mostly static but needed fast files on the ssd? For example I know I want /tmp and /var on the sdhc, and /boot on the ssd | 04:35 |
| Matt2 | Anyone willing to take a look at my case? | 04:35 |
| WildcatMan | izinucs: according to forums u cant sync ipod touch in a VM.. | 04:35 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, if you really want to dual boot you can but here's the deal.. windows like to be installed first .. so backup or image your linux install. wipe the drive, install windows then install ubuntu again and replace all your data.. | 04:36 |
| WildcatMan | izinucs: maybe it was an old article, but i hadnt seen anyhting else about it | 04:36 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, why not.. how does it know | 04:36 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, all it knows is that it's connected to a windows machine. | 04:36 |
| sweatshack | ok I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, and then I restarted. Still at terminal, no GUI | 04:36 |
| WildcatMan | izinucs: i am assume its because of how ubuntu pipes the usb devices when u figure out how to mount them | 04:36 |
| alex_21 | You can install Windows later, use GParted, and then Intall Windows and then use a live CD to fix grub | 04:37 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, ah.. but the usb won't be mounted in ubuntu but in the vm.. to do this with vbox you have to download their "non-free/free" version | 04:37 |
| WildcatMan | hmmm | 04:37 |
| smnab | what is the "route" program? what does its output mean? could someone help me? | 04:37 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, like alex_21 said.. you can install dual boot with windows but it messes with grub and that will have to be fixed. | 04:37 |
| WildcatMan | izinucs: so dont get the one from the package manager.... not the OSE | 04:38 |
| etherael | smnab, the route program allows you to manipulate the routing table in your system. | 04:38 |
| smnab | suppose I want to set 192.168.0.1 as the gateway. should I use 'route' for it? | 04:38 |
| LooieENG | didn't work :( | 04:38 |
| LooieENG | can't get wireless internet | 04:38 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, no .. the OSE version does not have usb support | 04:38 |
| orlok | Has anybody had lvm2 working on ubuntu? | 04:38 |
| jon5000 | Hi. Questions about sharing a drive with Samba | 04:38 |
| etherael | smnab, you could, but typically you won't need to mess with your routing tables, in the event that you *do* need to mess with your routing tables, you should probably use the system network config utility to do it rather than making a single change using the route commandline utility. | 04:38 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, are you going to attempt the vbox solution? if so I'll give you some tips.. | 04:39 |
| alex_21 | Yes, the os version from Sun has USB Suport | 04:39 |
| WildcatMan | izinucs: how does gparted help me?... even if i partition the hardrive as a ntfs file system windows XP install and vista both say there is no partition that meets the criteria | 04:39 |
| alex_21 | Anyone know about mod_proxy_html.c | 04:39 |
| Hydrant | has anyone else experienced flash being choppy on firefox | 04:39 |

| isilion | hi! i want to raise fan speed because i got a p4 prescott and its to hot. noyse is not a problem i tryed sensors detect but it seems to noot work properly. sensors command output only gives cpu temp. pwmconfig dont work. please help | 04:39 |
| jon5000 | can anyone help? I am using samba, and have shared a folder. I now want to find the ubuntu computer on my XP computer. how do i find out the address? | 04:39 |
| alex_21 | <WildcatMan> izinucs: Make some of your disk free space and install Windows into it | 04:40 |
| arrenlex | WildcatMan: 1) using gparted, make empty, unpartitioned space for windows. 2) use the windows install CD to partition that space and install on it. 3) Use the LiveCD to restore grub... see !grub for more info. | 04:40 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, that's the issue.. Win. likes to be first on the drive.. if you just must .. then make space on the harddrive that isn't formatted. | 04:40 |
| etherael | smnab, the manager is not the configuration, it is the manipulator. but to give you the answer you're after, route add (network) gw (gateway) netmask (netmask) | 04:40 |
| smnab | etherael: ok, thanks. that was what i was looking for. | 04:40 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, hang on.. and I'll put a couple things to gether. | 04:41 |
| egc | \X/ | 04:41 |
| sirb | hi all | 04:41 |
| WildcatMan | arrenlex: ive tried that... tried just having it as free space tried just having it as "unformatted" space tried"NTFS" and tried "fat32" wont work unless windows is installed first | 04:41 |
| Alex_Gren | tbqh, i would rather have some form of Vm, and run windows in Ubuntu..... i hate dual-boots | 04:41 |
| jon5000 | anyone? | 04:41 |
| WildcatMan | izinucs: thanks i appreciate it | 04:42 |
| arrenlex | WildcatMan: What do you mean by "doesn't work"? | 04:42 |
| WildcatMan | arrenlex: the windows setup says there is no partitions that meet the criteria | 04:42 |
| arrenlex | WildcatMan: Well yeah, that's why you create them in the setup. | 04:42 |
| sirb | having trouble installing 8.04 LTS on a new server, syslog says it can't find a package (nic-restricted-firmwarexxxx.udeb), can anyone point me in the right direction? | 04:42 |
| alex_21 | Make the partition first in the Hard disk | 04:42 |
| WildcatMan | the only way it will work is if i let it delete then format my primary hardrive | 04:42 |
| etherael | WildcatMan, do you have space that registers as "unallocated" within gparted ? | 04:43 |
| AussieGuy | df is misreporting the amount of space used on my partition. Ive done a full "properties" of the / folder in nautilus, its counted everything totalling 11GB. df says this however.... /dev/sda3 47GB 38GB 8GB 84% / | 04:43 |
| WildcatMan | ethearel: yes ive spent all day trying to do it | 04:43 |
| etherael | WildcatMan, how much space is unallocated? how many slices are there on the disk? | 04:43 |
| AussieGuy | in other words 8GB free of 47GB, or much more than what the full file count nautilus did totalled | 04:44 |
| WildcatMan | ethereael: 150gb of space | 04:44 |
| alex_21 | any help installing Mod_proxy_html | 04:44 |
| etherael | WildcatMan, swap? root? home? how many partitions? what is the full disk size? | 04:44 |
| WildcatMan | ethereael: i have 2 150gb harddisk in my laptop... have ubuntu on one.. ws trying to put windows on the other | 04:44 |
| izinucs | WildcatMan, download the .deb for ubuntu or better yet put their repo in sources on your machine.. | 04:44 |
| smnab | i have a problem. i have set the correct nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf (I used the OpenDNS servers). Yet, when I try to ping www.google.com, it gives an "unknown host" error. I can ping my ISP's router just fine. | 04:44 |
| etherael | WildcatMan, what is the device file for the disk you're trying to put windows on? (like /dev/sdb or /dev/hdc or something) | 04:45 |
| khafra | Can't see the WD 1TB drive I just hooked up in a new Rosewill enclosure that works fine on my Windows XP laptop. | 04:45 |

| khafra | This is Ubuntu 8.04 on a desktop | 04:45 |
| WildcatMan | /dev/sbd1 | 04:45 |
| Alex_Gren | random question is there a open office channel?..... | 04:45 |
| khafra | It's not even showing up in /dev/sd.* | 04:45 |
| etherael | that's a partition, not a disk, if it has 150gb unallocated space, it should just be /dev/sdb ? | 04:45 |

| Oloryn | How do you properly change a Ubuntu machine to Xubuntu? I've got this old Armada 7800 laptop which would probably be better suited for Xubuntu, but the CD drive doesn't like the CD-Rs the other machines I have create. I do have a Ubuntu 8.10 ShipIt CD, and the easiest thing to do seems to be to install it (just finishing) and cross it over to Xubuntu. Do I need to do anything more than fire up Aptitude and install xubuntu-desktop? | 05:10 |
| Chaorain | looks like it will work | 05:10 |
| izinucs | amt2, try apt-cache search <package> to look | 05:10 |
| Chaorain | What is X? | 05:10 |
| Axle | blageh: specifically, a web directory. I want to give them access to the folder our website is in, but not the rest of my computer | 05:10 |

| Chaorain | I've heard about it alot but I don't know what it is | 05:10 |
| sirb | axle: do you understand how file permissions work? | 05:10 |

| blageh | heh | 05:17 |
| blageh | apt-get update | 05:17 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: it is "/usr/share/applications" , not "usr/share/applications" | 05:17 |
| bdelin88 | sry apt-get update, that's what i mean | 05:17 |
| blageh | sudo apt-get update | 05:17 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, ok big mistake then whoops ok | 05:17 |

| Odd-rationale | barbguar: try explaining the problem, so people know if they actually can help... | 05:24 |
| blageh | subpar> weird.... try this command, assuming that your default GW is 10.0.1.1 and nic is eth0: route add default gw 10.0.1.1 eth0 | 05:24 |
| sirb | izi: it is, but i'd much prefer to run the LTS if at all possible | 05:24 |
| subpar | blageh:this might also come into play | 05:24 |
| izinucs | sirb what does the file pertain to.. what does it address that's preventing the installer from running correctly? | 05:25 |
| subpar | eth0 is using r8169 module as a driver, while my wlan0 seems to be using rtl8187 | 05:25 |
| zelrikriando | sirb, I dont get it, just burn the CD or dvd and install it,should be no problem | 05:25 |
| arrenlex | |unjustice|: You need a space between .iso and /mnt/GTA_SA | 05:25 |
| Odd-rationale | [e]Lement: is the problem only occur on the login screen? | 05:25 |
| subpar | at least, when I modprobe -r rtl8187, wireless stops working completely | 05:25 |
| [e]Lement | Yeah | 05:25 |

| Lancao | Hello Expert | 05:28 |
| [TiZ] | Hi there. I'm looking for a good program to change wallpapers. I just removed every wallpaper I had from the backgrounds tab in gnome-appearance-properties (by editing backgrounds.xml). I had so many that it temporarily froze when I started it! So that's why I'm looking for a new app to use. It needs to support the zoom function for wallpapers. | 05:28 |
| subpar | when I upgraded to 8.10, it has a native driver | 05:28 |
| ChrisDavaz | AHHHHHHHHHHH! Is there any possible way to change the volume of an SL500 (has Ideapad firmware) | 05:28 |
| subpar | [TiZ] sudo apt-get install drapes | 05:28 |
| sirb | zel: the file is missing from the distribution, it's not a problem with my copy | 05:28 |
| blageh | maybe try ndiswrapper again? | 05:28 |
| Lancao | I installed Guest Addition But the Win XP sound still not work | 05:28 |
| Odd-rationale | [e]Lement: ok. first open your /etc/gdm/Init/Default as root: gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default | 05:28 |
| barbguar | Odd-rationale: does that help explain the situation? | 05:28 |
| [TiZ] | subpar, drapes seems to use gnome's background list. I want to avoid using that so that I don't slow down gnome appearance properties. | 05:28 |
| subpar | I tried, but it can't find the device | 05:28 |
| bdelin88 | anyone know why ubuntu is not detecting my blackberry? | 05:28 |
| zelrikriando | sirb how do you know | 05:28 |
| ubun2Junky | my server throws me into initramfs when it says it can't find a drive with a specific uuid. I've checked /proc/cmdline and it has root=UUID=9df.... I've used a live cd and checked the uuid on all of my drives and none of them have the uuid it's looking for! Any suggestions? | 05:28 |
| [e]Lement | I prefer pico, but okay =X | 05:29 |
| [TiZ] | I would use Nitrogen, but it doesn't support zoom mode for wallpapers | 05:29 |
| subpar | I think because i can't unbind | 05:29 |
| sirb | zel: i've verified the cd | 05:29 |
| [e]Lement | Alright, and now what Odd-rationale | 05:29 |
| subpar | [TiZ] you can set yr own directory with drapes | 05:29 |
| zelrikriando | sirb, is it the right iso ? | 05:29 |
| [TiZ] | subpar: Oh! I'll check it out then. | 05:29 |
| david_ | Im unable to drag an drop launchers into Awn any solutions? | 05:30 |
| Odd-rationale | [e]Lement: ok. so try adding this line above the "exit 0" : xrandr -s 1400x900 like so: http://paste2.org/p/110465 | 05:30 |
| subpar | [TiZ]: it will also change background automatically at intervals if you wish | 05:30 |
| Chaorain | um how do I launch gnome-alsamixer? | 05:30 |
| Lancao | Yes 1.6 | 05:30 |

| blageh | subpar: heh...i would try to manually add the settings...see if that works, maybe take it from there then? | 05:34 |
| izinucs | sirb, is the nic card in your machine on the motherboard? | 05:34 |

| david_ | tomcheng76, yes as an example I added a simple terminal bash shell to launcher within prefernces and nothing happened | 05:35 |
| izinucs | blageh, I was busy looking at other things and missed what he's installing to.. did you happen to get the reference to the packages the installer is not able to find? something like nic-restricted-<something>.deb | 05:35 |

| david_ | tomcheng76, Im on the website you gave me and I dont understand this * | 05:36 |
| david_ | How do I add launchers to the bar? | 05:36 |
| david_ | Just drag and drop! You can also select "Add" in the Launchers menu of AWN-Manager. | 05:36 |
| david_ | A note, however: this may, in some cases, not work. In that case, launch gconf-editor & from run (Alt+F2) or from the terminal. Change the key in | 05:36 |
| david_ | /apps/avant-window-navigator/window_manager/launchers | 05:36 |
| FloodBot3 | david_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:36 |
| david_ | to include a reference to your launcher. | 05:36 |
| blageh | bdelin88: try apt-get remove on that package, then reinstall maybe? | 05:36 |
| subpar | blageh: thanks anyways for the help. I'm going to give ndiswraper one more shot | 05:36 |
| barbguar | and http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1fa1b904 | 05:37 |
| blageh | good luck | 05:37 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, I dont understand the supposed fix on the wbepage you gave me | 05:37 |
| bdelin88 | blageh: for instance... "sudo apt-get remove cairo-dock" or whatever the pkg is called? | 05:37 |

I need a program for Hardy that I can use to route users to the other servers to offsite the load on the main server. Does anyone know of something good I can use to do this? | 05:37 |

| Odd-rationale | barbguar: ok sorry, i meant to pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" with the device plugged in... my bad... have you tried deleteing the 1GB\040USB\040PEN and plugging the device again? | 05:38 |

| [e]Lement | bdelin88, are you using a laptop? | 05:38 |
| alex_21 | <Rook> Apache witth reverse proxy set up. I'm doing that right now so I can't say it works the best, until I finish installing it | 05:38 |

| blageh | rook> seriously? that is a huge task. dont know where to begin, but you are in for a lot of work. | 05:38 |

| sirb | ok, thanks for your help izi | 05:38 |
| izinucs | sirb, good luck | 05:39 |
| ToddEDM | bdelin88: you need the BB desktop software | 05:39 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, Im running xfce not gnome but I dont have it installed currently | 05:39 |
| bdelin88 | [e]Lement: no, it actually works perfectly out of the box on my laptop (intrepid) and on my desktop (intrepid) it does not charge with the 500ma it needs | 05:39 |
| Rook | Alex, I am using Lighttpd as the webserver, is there anything I can use with that? | 05:39 |
| Odd-rationale | barbguar: well, you will need to do it as root, so be careful: sudo rm -rf /media/1GB\040USB\040PEN | 05:39 |
| tripps | what is up with the sound system when all the apps refuse to play anything any more? audacious, rhythmbox, etc. just show the play icon but nothing happens. reboot fixes it. Is there a process or something I can kill/restart to get it working again? | 05:39 |
| bdelin88 | ToddEDM: I download barry but that didn't do the trick, is BB desktop software something else? | 05:39 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: oh, that would be the root of the problem :) | 05:39 |
| [e]Lement | Sounds weird. My iPhone charges using Ubuntu. I wouldn't imagine an iPhone needing less power. | 05:39 |
| alex_21 | <Rook> Yes, there is probably some reverse proxy modules for it | 05:40 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, meaning? why would what window manager im using make a difference on awn? | 05:40 |
| anonymous_ | anyone body know how to get my mic working? | 05:40 |
| subpar | haha, I just found the problem with ndiswrapper. It was giving me the wrong driver | 05:40 |
| Chaorain | The first command said "ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel does not exist in /proc/modules" | 05:40 |
| Semidios | tripps, i had that same problem. traced it down to firefox being open | 05:40 |
| blageh | rook> check out howtoforge.com and look up load-balancing or clustering with lighttpd | 05:40 |
| izinucs | [e]Lement, ?? that doesn't make any sense.. | 05:40 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: to test, please login gnome and try awn again. | 05:40 |
| alex_21 | <Rook> I don't use that web server, so I don't know for sure | 05:40 |
| ToddEDM | bdelin88: im not sure what Barry is, but BB desktop software is the windows CD that came with ti ... it wont even charge on windows with out it installed | 05:40 |
| bdelin88 | [e]Lement: yes it's some setting that the OS doesn't give usb support to charge the phone... windows does it as well until the driver is installed | 05:40 |
| Chaorain | the second gave a line of code that looks like it worked | 05:40 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, Im not running gnome | 05:40 |
| techqbert | I just mounted a CIFS partition for ~/Videos, ~/Music, and ~/Documents but when I ls ~/Videos, one file will output like 8 times even though there is only one copy. | 05:40 |
| [e]Lement | bdelin88, that's strange. | 05:40 |
| Odd-rationale | [e]Lement: you have two monitors? | 05:40 |
| blageh | subar: yey...great when things finally work | 05:41 |
| tripps | Semidios, interesting. it doesn't do it all the time, however. perhaps it's a plugin or something? i'll kill FF and see what happens | 05:41 |
| [e]Lement | nope | 05:41 |
| bdelin88 | ToddEDM: I am talking about installing it on ubuntu lol, that cd is for windows :-P | 05:41 |

| Odd-rationale | yanko: 32bit? or 64bit? | 05:57 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: no | 05:57 |
| voraistos | that's because of a firefox plugin i think yanko | 05:57 |
| david_ | try that it might work, or you may have to kill pid | 05:58 |
| voraistos | some sort of script blocker or whatever. I used to have this | 05:58 |

| tomcheng76 | david_: can you give me an example? i don't understand proggy name | 05:59 |
| voraistos | proggy name = programme name | 05:59 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, sorry you named a program you wanted to kill I was suggesting to kill -9 HUP then the program name | 06:00 |
| ReAn | hey | 06:00 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, instead of kill PID | 06:00 |
| ReAn | does apt-get need to update it's package list manually? | 06:00 |
| voraistos | ReAn: get another mirror | 06:00 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: oic, i usually use kill PID/ pkill program name | 06:00 |
| ReAn | voraistos: where do i configure the mirrors? | 06:00 |

| Odd-rationale | droopsta915: also nano and vim <-- the best IMO... | 06:02 |

| tomcheng76 | david_: just to remind u, some program cannot use -9 to so the force kill, like postgresql | 06:05 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, i didnt know which ones off hand, do you have a list of them? | 06:06 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: i don't have too, so i only try to avoid using -9 | 06:07 |
| ToddEDM | no one??? | 06:08 |
| snakeface | how do i install "install X11 development libraries"? | 06:08 |
| ToddEDM | i need some help guys | 06:08 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, what do you use to kill without killing entire program? | 06:08 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, like if you had a webserver and had to restart a prog you wouldnt want ot kill it entirely right? | 06:08 |
| endemic | ToddEDM, honestly unless you have a crossover cable or a switch, the easiest way is going to be to use a USB hardrive or thumbdrive | 06:08 |
| endemic | ToddEDM, otherwise you are going to have to configure an ip address, subnet mask, etc on both machines | 06:09 |
| izinucs | david_, you mean if you had a server and evolution froze.. how would you kill evolution? | 06:09 |
| voraistos | snakeface: devel files are usually called dev or devel | 06:09 |
| david_ | izinucs, exactly | 06:09 |
| david_ | izinucs, wouldnt you just sighup it? | 06:09 |
| Odd-rationale | htop is usually a good way to monitor and kill processes... | 06:10 |
| david_ | izinucs, meaning kill -9 HUP | 06:10 |
| izinucs | david_, killall -9 evolution | 06:10 |
| tomcheng76 | david_: usually i use the initscript in /etc/init.d , if there isn't , i use "ps aux |grep "program name" and kill those PID / PID program name if i pretty sure the program name | 06:10 |
| david_ | tomcheng76, this works for a full kill, but not to just retstart it | 06:10 |
| voraistos | snakeface: and libraries are usually called libsomething | 06:10 |
| izinucs | david_, or if you're in termial type top and find the pid of the program and then enter k and the pid number | 06:10 |
| voraistos | snakeface: so what you are looking for is probably called libX11-dev | 06:11 |
| izinucs | david_, or liike tomcheng76 said.. there's lots of ways. | 06:11 |
| snakeface | voraistos: logic at work. thanks bud. | 06:12 |
| ToddEDM | endemic: sorry i was away... ok, i will just transfer over wlan | 06:12 |
| izinucs | david_, one of the unique things about linux is the progams won't take the entire system down when they freeze.. unlike windows | 06:12 |
| tomcheng76 | david_ why not use stop in the initscript but kill -9 ?__? i dont understande | 06:12 |
| Darkangel42 | got a ? 4 yall | 06:12 |
| david_ | izinucs, no I know, Ive been using for sometime, sorry if i come off as newbie, only new to graphical interfaces, Im not good with that, terminal yes lol | 06:13 |
| izinucs | tomcheng76, can you use the initscript to stop .. say .. evolution? | 06:13 |
| endemic | ToddEDM, it will be slower, but probably your best bet if you are more familiar with doing it that way :P | 06:13 |
| david_ | izinucs, yes you can can use start or restart or kill | 06:13 |
| Darkangel42 | does zune work with amarok | 06:13 |
| tomcheng76 | izinucs: in that case i use "pkill evolution" | 06:13 |
| izinucs | david_, :) in the gui you can add the system monitor to the panel and kill from there. restart is another issue. | 06:14 |

| izinucs | Ohmu, you have two wireless connection apps installed.. uninstall one | 06:22 |
| Ohmu | izinucs, I think I only have one.. WiCD uninstalled network-manager | 06:23 |
| izinucs | Ohmu, ok.. | 06:23 |
| blackbird | sorry | 06:23 |
| blackbird | I never done this before | 06:23 |
| blackbird | I got a flicker when I play video | 06:23 |
| blackbird | I suppose to edit my xorg.config? | 06:23 |
| blackbird | and download the new ati drivers? | 06:24 |
| blackbird | is that dangerous | 06:24 |
| arrenlex | blackbird: Do you know what card you're using? Do you know if you're using the free or proprietary drivers? | 06:24 |
| Ohmu | I don't understand the play between the GUI stuff (netweorkmanager / wicd) and the commandline stuff (ifup ifdown sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or dhcp3-server etc) | 06:24 |
| arrenlex | blackbird: Is this flicker in totem? | 06:24 |
| MasterAkia | im having problem with my sound, basically i cant get it to allo wme to use my headset, if i got to terminal and type alsamixer it has my chip as realtekac888 i need to to be my logitech headset to hear stuff and talk right? | 06:25 |
| arrenlex | Ohmu: The GUI stuff (networkmanager) uses the command line stuff (wpa_supplicant, dhclient, etc). | 06:25 |
| blackbird | I am using the restricted drivers | 06:25 |
| blackbird | and it's in all video players | 06:25 |
| blackbird | even vlc player | 06:25 |
| Ohmu | arrenlex, thanks | 06:25 |
| arrenlex | blackbird: Ah. What card? | 06:25 |
| blackbird | ati radon 2600xt | 06:25 |

| blackbird | i am using xchat is there are way to save a favorite room> | 06:26 |
| elvis | anybody knows what this means when you open a media file "Could not get/set settings from/on resource" ???? | 06:27 |
| Doctor_Nick | why will the firefox team never fix the fsync issues plauging firefox? | 06:27 |
| arrenlex1 | blackbird: Also, try something for me... open vlc and go into the preferences. Go to video -> output modules, and check advanced options. Set the video output mode to x11. Does that help at all? | 06:27 |
| blackbird | ok hold on | 06:27 |
| arrenlex1 | Doctor_Nick: What is fsync? | 06:27 |
| dayz-ivxx | has anyone had any problems with updating 1.04 to 1.10? i believe it was a video problem (ati radeon) but i'm not sure it required me to reinstall | 06:27 |

| blackbird | whoa xchat is so hard compare to mirc | 06:30 |
| blackbird | any way | 06:30 |
| blackbird | yeah it worked | 06:30 |
| blackbird | what does that mean? x11 | 06:30 |
| gnutron | tomcheng76: /list | 06:30 |
| arrenlex1 | blackbird: Hmm, weird. You changed vlc from using hardware-accelerated rendering to doing all its rendering on the CPU. | 06:30 |
| bazhang | blackbird, have you tried disabling compiz | 06:30 |
| MasterAkia | How do i get my usb logitech headset and mic to work? i cant hear nething | 06:30 |
| arrenlex1 | blackbird: So the card's doing something funky. bazhang has a good suggestion -- try disabling compiz. | 06:30 |
| blackbird | no no I love compix | 06:31 |
| [e]Lement | blackbird, x11 is how Ubuntu creates windows | 06:31 |

| arrenlex1 | blackbird: Does VLC flicker on xvideo output? OpenGL output? | 06:31 |

| kai1 | Arrenlex, Seems a lot of people are having the same issue as I without solution | 07:00 |
| DaNk | ok i removed firefox-3 and i get this now The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 07:01 |
| DaNk | firefox-3.0: Conflicts: firefox-libthai | 07:01 |
| sekyourbox | gnutron, chmod: cannot access `jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin': No such file or directory | 07:01 |
| gtoast | histo: ok that looks like it worked. Do you happen to know the difference between "Add/Remove" and the Synaptic package manager? | 07:01 |
| kai1 | akorpija, power settings should tell you that if you close the lip of your laptop and it's set to "Do nothing", I think it will do just that, but it sohuld still turn off the screen? | 07:01 |
| sekyourbox | you have to give it execute permissions? | 07:01 |
| DaNk | show do i exclude a package from being installed | 07:02 |
| histo | Aparently add/remove is not using the full repo list. Synaptic package manager uses what ever is in sources.list. Which is what command line apt-get aptitude etc.. would use. | 07:02 |
| histo | !apt > gtoast | 07:02 |
| ubottu | gtoast, please see my private message | 07:02 |
| gnutron | sekyourbox: the file needs to be in your current directory, preferably /home/your-username/ | 07:02 |
| darnell | anyone know of a linux application like http-tunnel | 07:02 |
| darnell | cant get it to run with wine or crossover | 07:02 |
| sekyourbox | gnutron, I just right-click the desktop where the file resides | 07:02 |
| sekyourbox | right-click term | 07:02 |
| gnutron | sekyourbox: can you open a terminal? | 07:03 |
| sekyourbox | gnutron, anyway, i just use the gui to change it to allow execution | 07:03 |
| gnutron | sekyourbox: that will probably work | 07:03 |
| sekyourbox | gnutron, Couldn't display "/home/testuser/Desktop/1.bin". | 07:03 |
| akorpija | kail yea it's set to "Blank Screen" when i close the lid | 07:03 |

| bdelin88 | anyone know of a good audio mixing/editing program besides stupid audacity that's not working | 07:06 |
| tomcheng76 | qnutron: is there a quick way to know the user is identified in the irc server or not? way i found is /msg NickServ info username | 07:06 |
| sekyourbox | bdelin88, see what they use in ubuntu studio | 07:07 |
| dav7 | bdelin88: you might also say why audacity isn't working... it's actually pretty good | 07:07 |
| bdelin88 | ugh | 07:07 |

| bdelin88 | and he left | 07:08 |
| pronto | http://pronto185.com/linux/screens/other/12_04_08_02:02:48window.png how do i stop that from happening | 07:08 |
| kai1 | Anyone, /dev/sda1 == /dev/hd0,2? | 07:08 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: install amarok, its much better | 07:08 |

| dav7 | kai1: no. | 07:08 |
| bdelin88 | AUDIO EDITING | 07:08 |
| histo | bdelin88, what is wrong? | 07:08 |
| dav7 | kai1: and it's (hd0,2). | 07:08 |
| bdelin88 | histo: i am so damn tired of having to configure every little thing i want to install on ubuntu | 07:08 |
| histo | bdelin88, like what? | 07:09 |
| dav7 | bdelin88: well, if audacity isn't working, it's likely a sound issue. there are no real absolutes there; you might just try poking around in preferences->audio | 07:09 |
| bdelin88 | for instance... audacity | 07:09 |
| dav7 | histo: programs, configuration, drivers, X, etc | 07:09 |
| kai1 | dav7, just trying to get grub figured out... my windows partition is on /dev/sda1, so i was looking at something and it looks like it was from sda0 to hd0,1 | 07:09 |
| dav7 | kai1: linux numbers from 1 upwards | 07:09 |
| histo | dav7, bdelin88 Well I run gnome and have to configure very little so perhaps you can eloborate. | 07:09 |
| dav7 | kai1: grub numbers from 0 upwards | 07:09 |
| bdelin88 | it should be an absolute, it tells me that ubuntu doesn't know what the heck is going on and that windows actually does | 07:09 |
| dav7 | kai1: sd[a][1] -> (hd0,0) | 07:10 |
| dav7 | kai1: a -> 0, and 1->0 | 07:10 |
| dav7 | kai1: b->1, 2->1 | 07:10 |
| dav7 | kai1: and so on | 07:10 |
| bdelin88 | bc i run audacity in windows, no problem | 07:10 |
| gnutron | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 07:10 |
| kai1 | dav7, would this be approperiate to load Vista from GRUB dev/sda1 then? : http://pastebin.com/m32524da8 | 07:10 |
| histo | bdelin88, you shoulnd't have to configure audacity in ubuntu. Just install it. | 07:10 |
| histo | bdelin88, sudo aptitude install audacity | 07:11 |
| bdelin88 | histo: I know, that's what I am getting at | 07:11 |
| dav7 | kai1: nuke the "makeactive" line... and make 2 1 | 07:11 |
| histo | bdelin88, what that you have to install something you want to use? | 07:11 |
| bdelin88 | histo: yes i have audacity on ubuntu, and the playback DOES NOT WORK, no sound at all, even though the mixer visuals are reporting that sound is being played, and my sound works fine on this system | 07:11 |
| dav7 | kai1: that otherwise looks like it'd probably work | 07:11 |
| kai1 | Dav7: How do you mean, Nuke? I get an error when loading windows "Error 23: Error while parsing number" | 07:11 |
| histo | bdelin88, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 07:12 |
| bdelin88 | histo: intrepid | 07:12 |
| dav7 | kai1: remove | 07:12 |
| histo | bdelin88, what type of audio file are you trying to play? | 07:12 |
| dav7 | kai1: as in, a bomb nukes and... it's gone... etc... xD | 07:12 |
| kai1 | heh | 07:12 |
| bdelin88 | histo: it's an mp3, and yes i installed the lame mp3 codec | 07:12 |
| kai1 | Gotcha, chief, so this should stop the "error23" thing then? | 07:12 |
| pronto | http://pronto185.com/linux/screens/other/12_04_08_02:02:48window.png how do i stop that from happening ? it happens when ever i ssh some where >.< | 07:12 |

| bdelin88 | histo: yes | 07:13 |
| histo | bdelin88, do you get any errors with audacity? | 07:14 |
| pk | how do you get the coloured nicknames? | 07:14 |

| gnutron | bdelin88: don't you want audacious for simple mp3 playback? | 07:14 |
| sproingie | my goodness wubi is slick | 07:14 |
| histo | bdelin88, ahh audacity dosn't support pulse audio | 07:14 |
| bdelin88 | gnutron: no i want to edit audio files | 07:14 |
| sproingie | is the tool for escaping wubi into a real partition stable? | 07:14 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: i see. | 07:15 |
| bdelin88 | histo: well good news, i have no idea what pulse audio is, i just know i have realtek | 07:15 |
| histo | bdelin88, well audacity has no support for the sound driver that is being used by intrepid | 07:15 |
| bdelin88 | well that's wonderful | 07:15 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: hardy... | 07:16 |
| bdelin88 | unless i can easily downgrade to hardy, i am not setting up this thing again | 07:16 |
| histo | bdelin88, let me see if there is a bug. | 07:16 |
| dayz-ivxx | does the upgrading always go slow o.0 i know i should get higher dl rate then 60 +/- few | 07:17 |
| bdelin88 | i have been tinkering with all of these setups and things and finally have stuff how i want it... and no, i am not going to hardy because of something like this, this is ridiculous | 07:17 |
| bdelin88 | there has to be aworkaround | 07:17 |
| akorpija | does anybody know why my laptop screen stays on even when the lid is closed and i'm using an external monitor? | 07:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Lastime I checked, Audacity was broken with PA | 07:17 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: i wouldn't touch intrepid with a long, long stick. | 07:18 |
| bdelin88 | that's really terrible news though, bc all the other audio editors in the repo that i have downloaded suck | 07:18 |
| bdelin88 | gnutron: then why did they release it | 07:18 |
| Hikefu | bdelin88, maybe you can remove PA and use alsa | 07:18 |
| bdelin88 | gnutron: if their goal is to get new users, and migrate users from windows, why release something that is not good | 07:19 |
| tomcheng76 | bdelin88: sorry, i have only see some of the response, why dont u uninstall pulseaudio ? | 07:19 |
| gavimobile | does ddrescue copy the content of the disk, or the entie disk? | 07:19 |
| bdelin88 | Hikefu: all of my audio is setup on alsa already i thought, according to my sound settings | 07:19 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: great question, i wonder myself. its great if your hardware was tested by the developers. | 07:19 |
| WebcamWonder | If I am not mistaken, The Alsa in Intrepid is just a PA plugin to emulate ALSA if I am not mistaken | 07:19 |
| gavimobile | my disk which im copying is 31.3 gb and my iso ive created with ddrescue is 32.0 gb | 07:19 |
| gnutron | it oughta be in beta still, but thats just my opinion. | 07:20 |
| bdelin88 | i am using REALTEK audio drivers, those are VERY common drivers | 07:20 |
| bdelin88 | ah | 07:20 |
| Hikefu | bdelin88, have you made sure that you have the proper audio out devices properly selected. Perhaps there is a pref in audacity too? | 07:20 |
| bdelin88 | well how much time is this going to cost me | 07:20 |
| bdelin88 | i just want to edit an mp3 file my god | 07:20 |
| bdelin88 | Hikefu: yes, i have tried all of them | 07:20 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: good point, it is good, on the hardware they tested. all else its a crap-shoot. | 07:20 |
| osxfr33k | Which Wireless Laptop PCI-e A/B/G/n would be considered the most comptible or best suited to work out of the box and to be the better performer card? Atheros? Maybe AR5008? Netgear if they make one? | 07:21 |
| bdelin88 | i already still have to figure out how i am going to even just charge my blackberry phone off of usb, which doesn't get the correct amount of current | 07:21 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: In Audacity's sound preferences, can you see something like dev/dsp? | 07:21 |
| osxfr33k | Compatible sorry | 07:21 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: let me look | 07:21 |
| gnutron | gavimobile: man ddrescue in a terminal, i dont know. | 07:21 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: you mean "Device:" under playback? | 07:21 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Yup | 07:22 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: yes i have tried all of them listed, and nothing | 07:22 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Does it list dev/dsp? | 07:22 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: no, only also crap | 07:22 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: no only alsa crap* | 07:22 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Ok, do one thing. Close Audacity completely. Press ALT + F2, and type: padsp audacity | 07:23 |
| waan | How do I get firefox to remember its window position? localstore.rdf already has the correct permissions | 07:23 |
| bdelin88 | done it | 07:23 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: done it, sry | 07:23 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Now go back to the devices, and tell me if you see /dev/dsp | 07:23 |
| Hikefu | bdelin88, have you read this? http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup | 07:24 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: YOU ARE A F*KIN GENIUS! | 07:24 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: pardon my french | 07:24 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: use /dev/dsp. And try to play an Mp3 | 07:24 |
| Hikefu | bdelin88, it specifically addresses audacity and pa | 07:24 |
| WebcamWonder | Hikefu: I am guiding him from there | 07:24 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: hmm that was wierd | 07:24 |
| Hikefu | WebcamWonder, great :) | 07:24 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: ? | 07:24 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: it went gray for a few seconds | 07:24 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: yep it's broken now lol | 07:25 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Yeah that would be the OSS wrapper kicking in | 07:25 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Did it unfreeze? | 07:25 |
| bdelin88 | it unfroze, but still broke | 07:25 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: So, no sound? | 07:25 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: let me try again, got to remember what to type in | 07:26 |
| WebcamWonder | padsp audacity | 07:26 |
| WebcamWonder | Make sure to turn off anything that might be using sound. Just stop all media players | 07:26 |
| bdelin88 | ugh | 07:26 |
| WebcamWonder | It is not necessary, but a precaution | 07:26 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: oops, i launche amarok by mistake :-P | 07:26 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: 1 sec | 07:27 |

| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: think you can help me get my blackberry to charge? :) | 07:28 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Ok. Stable is not the argument. The fact that it actually plays your MP3 is the point :) | 07:28 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Is it playing? | 07:28 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: haha wow... yea it plays and is stable, so two good things | 07:28 |
| bdelin88 | now do i have to padsp every time i run it? | 07:29 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Haha. Yeah, I have been through this mess too many times by now. I have spent too much time googling, reading and experimenting with sound system | 07:29 |
| SmokeyD | hey people. My sound settings do not work. In preferences->sound->sounds I set the login sound to disabled, but I still hear it everytime I log in | 07:29 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Yes, but you can make a shortcut out of it | 07:29 |
| SmokeyD | other sounds that I disabled are indeed disabled, but the login sound isn't | 07:29 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: just set a command for that right? | 07:29 |
| SmokeyD | can I find these settings somewhere in text files? | 07:30 |
| sproingie | wow, amazing what a dpi tweak can do to make linux fonts look less sucktastic | 07:30 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Yup. | 07:30 |
| sproingie | went from 96dpi to 92dpi and it looks terrific now | 07:30 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: see i am not a complete noob at this.... i am just frustrated at the amount of tinkering... | 07:30 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: ...do you have time to work with me on this blackberry issue u think? | 07:30 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: it registers on my usb list and everything, but is not giving it the current that it needs to charge properly | 07:31 |
| WebcamWonder | bdelin88: Audacity is sending your sound to an old sound system known as OSS. PulseAudio captures that and plugs that into its sound system. Essentially, as far as Audacity is concerned, you are on an old sound system :). But hey it works :) | 07:31 |
| cow_lg_nyari | hi | 07:31 |
| bdelin88 | WebcamWonder: hey i don't care as long as i can hear it | 07:31 |
| cow_lg_nyari | iecha | 07:31 |

| MrEgg964 | Hi all :) After an upgrade to Intrepid that went fairly wrong (laptop overheated and stopped in the middle of the process :( ), my nfs and cifs mounts no longer mount automatically at boot. I'm thinking maybe reconfiguring the mount package. Should I try : dpkg-reconfigure mount, or would that be stupid? | 07:44 |
| trav | on windows | 07:44 |
| trav | ok I'm done now | 07:44 |
| sproingie | good golly, that wiki page is a tour de force of useless | 07:44 |
| hischild | bdelin88, he's merely doing his job and well, he was asking for it. | 07:44 |
| hischild | MrEgg964, are the mounts still in your /etc/fstab? | 07:44 |
| Sangoku | why can't i run a .exe file from the desktop of ubuntu? | 07:44 |
| cubic1273 | MrEgg964: check /etc/fstab | 07:44 |
| arrenlex | !exe | Sangoku | 07:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about exe | 07:44 |
| cubic1273 | er, sorry hischild | 07:44 |
| arrenlex | ugh | 07:44 |
| hischild | Sangoku, because you're running on linux, not windows. | 07:44 |
| hischild | cubic1273, why sorry :-) | 07:45 |
| tomcheng76 | Sangoku: select wine as the default applications for exe | 07:45 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: You know how you can't run windows programs on a mac and vice versa? It's like that. | 07:45 |
| Sangoku | so how do i install a program? | 07:45 |
| ikonia | ooh , good eyes | 07:45 |
| ikonia | ops | 07:45 |
| MrEgg964 | Yes, my mounts still are in /etc/fstab - in fact, they get mounted after I manually launch: mount -at cifs and mount -at nfs | 07:45 |
| Sangoku | ok, so how do i do it through wine | 07:45 |
| AB12 | You can run some .exe files using wine, but I wouldn't recommend that until you get more familiar with the linux system. | 07:45 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: What program are you looking to install? There is usually a linux equivalent. | 07:45 |
| hischild | Sangoku, you install the linux versions of software instead of windows software. Wine can do a lot, but far from everything. | 07:45 |
| sproingie | is there a quick howto on how i install my fonts from my windows partition? | 07:46 |
| bdelin88 | and when it can't u just whine... har har har har.... | 07:46 |
| Sangoku | but i would like to use the windows soft while i'm testing the linux progs. | 07:46 |
| AB12 | As a general rule, you can not run windows executables from Linux. | 07:46 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: What software are you looking to run? | 07:46 |
| AB12 | without wine atleast | 07:46 |
| Sangoku | utorrent and winrar | 07:46 |
| sproingie | AB12: and usually not with wine | 07:46 |
| hischild | Sangoku, this might sounds harsh, but you just can't run windows apps from ubuntu. With wine, you can do SOME, but that is far from all. What software do you want to run, we can probably recommend some others. | 07:47 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: both of those have equivalents that are installed by default. The transmission bittorrent client is installed, and I believe rar is too, as part of the file manager. | 07:47 |
| tomcheng76 | Sangoku: deluge for utorrent, file roller for winrar, no need .exe! | 07:47 |
| sproingie | what is it with all the pornmonkeys and warezpuppies on the channel tonight? | 07:47 |
| trav | sangoku: 7zip and azureus | 07:47 |
| trav | run those instead | 07:47 |
| hischild | MrEgg964, and do they also mount if you just type sudo mount -a ? | 07:47 |
| WIGGMPk | can ayone give me a link to Intrepid Ibex alternative cd (daily build) | 07:47 |
| veryangryman | WIGGMPk: www.ubuntu.com | 07:48 |
| sproingie | 7zip is just awesome on windows too | 07:48 |
| hischild | WIGGMPk, there's no real daily build. I suggest you get the minimal CD and make sure you have a network cable plugged in. It will download the required packages during the installation. | 07:48 |
| Sangoku | i know but i want then for now until i familiarise myself with the stadard progs. | 07:48 |

| bdelin88 | having to charge my bb with vbox :( | 07:49 |
| veryangryman | WIGGMPk: ok, cant help you with that | 07:49 |
| arrenlex | AB12: If no one used names, this channel would quickly dissolve into a clusterfuck of "who was that to?" and "who was that 'who was that to' to?" and general confusion and hilarity. | 07:49 |
| AB12 | arrenlex: cool! I Haven't IRC'd in a long time :) | 07:49 |
| Semidios | when I right click on anything in Opera the menu is blank but the icons on the left are there, is there some setting I am missing? | 07:49 |
| Sangoku | i would use the windows progs until i familiarise myself with the MAC. Have never used any Linux OS before and don't know where to start, so if im running the windows progs its easier for me to learn linux | 07:49 |
| hischild | MrEgg964, can you please pastebin the content of /etc/fstab for me? | 07:49 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: How would you use the windows programs on a macintosh? | 07:50 |
| hischild | Sangoku, but therein lies the problem, you can't use windows programs on a macintosh. | 07:50 |
| alarond | AB12: it's a format. when someone's addressing you directly the color change. | 07:50 |
| WIGGMPk | veryangryman: I dont understand why you answered if you didnt read the question... | 07:50 |
| Sangoku | i don't know, lets forget mac. can you guys help me get winrar and utorrent up and running on ubuntu for now? | 07:51 |
| pk | how do you get winrar? | 07:51 |
| === tomcheng76 is now known as tomcheng76_falla | ||
| arrenlex | Sangoku: You can't do it. You can't run windows programs on Linux. Or, you can, but they won't work well and it will be more of a pain to try to set them up. | 07:51 |
| veryangryman | WIGGMPk: i still cant help you with it :~ please talk to someone else | 07:51 |
| Sangoku | sorry, i meant install | 07:51 |
| alarond | Sangoku: why don't u try the linux equivalents. wine is quite unreliable. :P | 07:51 |
| === tomcheng76_falla is now known as tomcheng76|nappi | ||
| hischild | Sangoku, how will you learn to use linux if all you use is windows software. Install azureus, ktorrent or even use transmission and you will have the same as utorrent but more. | 07:51 |
| xat_ | Sangoku: you'd need wine, and even then, integration of winrar with ubuntu would be rather iffy to set up | 07:51 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: Also, honestly, it's a freaking bittorrent client and an archive tool. You really need time to "gradually ease yourself" into a new archive tool? It's got like one menu! | 07:52 |
| MrEgg964 | hischild: http://paste.ubuntu.com/80213/ | 07:52 |
| pk | Sangoku: you'd need wine, and even then, integration of winrar with ubuntu would be rather iffy to set up | 07:52 |
| WIGGMPk | veryangryman: oh im beyond asking you for help, this is just a human physicy curiosity now.. you didnt read the question completely, then you answered.... why? | 07:52 |
| pk | I agree | 07:52 |
| alarond | hischild: yeah that's true. but at first a bit of windows mollycoddling feels . . . relieving! | 07:52 |
| AB12 | Is the a /b/-esque channel or equivalent on this server? | 07:52 |
| === tomcheng76|nappi is now known as tomcheng76|nap | ||

| AB12 | arrenlex: thanks! On my way :) | 07:53 |
| hischild | Sangoku, have you read those pages i made ubottu send you? | 07:53 |

| cubic1273 | MrEgg964: something that happened to me was that networking wasn't enabled when it started trying to resolve hostnames to do my nfs mounts. | 07:54 |
| jaro | hi, I'm new to linux an I'm trying to configure my TV card can anyone point me in the right direction | 07:54 |
| hischild | MrEgg964, hmm seems all just fine. Since they're network mounts, could it be that the network isn't up until you login? | 07:54 |
| gnux | that's interesting | 07:54 |
| arrenlex | !tv | jaro | 07:54 |
| ubottu | jaro: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 07:54 |
| hischild | alarond, what do you mean? | 07:55 |
| AB12 | jaro: Give mythtv a shot! | 07:55 |
| MrEgg964 | Network connection is wifi - it isn't up until I log into my session. I thought that as of Intrepid, wifi was up at gdm? | 07:55 |
| jaro | well bebore I get to mythtv I'm trying to make my card work | 07:55 |
| Sangoku | yes i have his but still dohnt understand | 07:55 |
| alarond | hischild: meant that using linux progs for usual windows tasks is necessary | 07:56 |
| hischild | MrEgg964, no. It doesn't come up until after you login, as i think those settings are account dependend. | 07:56 |
| alarond | but initially it can be intimidating. | 07:56 |
| arrenlex | Sangoku: You cannot run windows programs under Linux. There is no practical, simple way. So, use the linux equivalents. It's easy. Make sense? | 07:56 |
| hischild | alarond, you have to get used to it yes, but after that all things go so much faster. And it didn't even take me a lot of time. | 07:56 |
| lancao | Hi I am also new to Linux how to config the sound in the virtual box for win XP? | 07:56 |
| aftertaf | Sangoku: you can google 'linux windows equivalents' and see a huge table of corresponding sowfware.... | 07:57 |
| jim_p | lancao, do you have the audio enabled in your guest os settings? | 07:57 |
| abli | Hi! what is the preferred way to generate non-utf8 locales? Apparently 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' won't let me choose which locales to generate, is editing a /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local really how this should be done? | 07:57 |
| jim_p | lancao, and which is host and which is guest? | 07:57 |
| abli | (on hardy) | 07:57 |
| jaro | ubottu, thanks, I will read more on that site. would you lease give me an inside on where to go my card config file | 07:58 |
| MrEgg964 | Ok - but I'm still thinking something is wrong with my settings. As another example, my usb external drive doesn't get automatically mounted as I plug it in, and I have to manually mount it. It used to mount automatically in /media. | 07:58 |

| jim_p | abli, i edit /etc/locale.gen and then sudo locale-gen | 07:58 |
| Semidios | when I right click on anything in Opera the menu is blank but the icons on the left are there, is there some setting I am missing? | 07:59 |

| prodigel | hi all. where does ubuntu keep http cookies? | 07:59 |
| jaro | thanks, do you have all this links on a list? you are so fast... | 07:59 |
| hischild | Sangoku, calm down. You want to use ubuntu, then use it. If you only want to use windows software, it might be better to just use windows. | 07:59 |
| aftertaf | prodigel: /var/cookie/jar | 08:00 |
| d-b | ok so no one can tell me if it is by design, that ubuntu will modify the grub on all /dev/sda /dev/hda etc. upon a new server installation. thus making the grubs which should NOT be touched broken when ubuntu is removed etc. | 08:00 |
| aftertaf | prodigel: bad joke ;) | 08:00 |
| d-b | Sangoku: well. what are you trying to do ? | 08:00 |
| jim_p | lancao, there is for me! $ ls /etc | grep locale locale.alias locale.gen | 08:00 |

| aftertaf | prodigel: i think it depends on navigator..... | 08:00 |
| abli | Btw. will anything blow up if I have users who have utf8 set in $LANG and other users who have non-utf8 $LANG? | 08:00 |

| jim_p | lancao, yea | 08:07 |
| abli | hischild, Isn't that page you sent me a bit outdated? localeconf is not available for hardy or intrepid. | 08:07 |

| Sangoku | i give up, my bedtime. see you guys | 08:08 |
| abli | Ok, I ask again: what is the officially reccomended way to set the list of locales to generate (on hardy and intrepid)? 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' does not ask for any settings, localeconf package is not available, and I am sure that editing a file by hand under /var/lib is _not_ the way to do it. | 08:08 |
| maco | xTheGoat121x: maybe you have it disabled? or your speakers are muted? | 08:08 |
| d-b | maco: two hda disks (ide ) i assumed grub was only modified on the disk i installed on. that's all. | 08:09 |
| maco | d-b: which disk did you tell it to install on? | 08:09 |
| maco | d-b: er, which disk did you tell *grub* to install on? | 08:09 |
| xTheGoat121x | maco, those were my first two thoughts... no to both, all other sounds are fine on my system. | 08:09 |
| wudi | 问问，关机执行的脚本是放在/etc/rc0.d里面是吧？ | 08:09 |
| genii | !cn | wudi | 08:09 |
| ubottu | wudi: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 08:09 |
| d-b | maco: wasn't given an option. so i assume the one i put ubuntu on. | 08:10 |
| * wudi says sorry | 08:10 | |
| d-b | its fine i keep a copy of /boot on my usb ^^ | 08:11 |
| lancao | some one said add myself to the groups, so I also added myself to all groups but for winbbin??% I can't do that | 08:11 |
| maco | d-b: the option of where to install grub is in the advanced settings on the last page of the installer | 08:11 |
| jim_p | does anyone know a nice app that can make plots? gnuplot is a bit hard for me | 08:12 |
| d-b | maco: mmm i wasn't in advanced installer i was in the normal one i believe. | 08:12 |
| d-b | jim_p: um charts or plots ? openoffice calc can do some nice things. | 08:12 |
| maco | d-b: the normal desktop installer has an advanced button at the end for configuring that | 08:12 |
| maco | d-b: -_- oh what helpful grub error. 21 apparently means "unknown boot error" | 08:13 |
| jim_p | d-b, plots like... y=x^2 :P | 08:13 |
| d-b | oh um there is another app let me find it for you jim_p | 08:13 |
| Neurologic | Question: I just switched over my theme, and such, made a bunch of appearance customizations, and suddenly my mute button my laptop isn't responding. It used to work, not it's not, any ideas? | 08:13 |
| maco | jim_p: um, do you know python? because cairoplot for python makes beautiful ones | 08:13 |
| d-b | maco: looks like my cable came loose after all then (i think). | 08:13 |
| jim_p | maco, no :( i prefer a gui one please | 08:13 |
| Neurologic | now it's not* | 08:14 |
| d-b | Neurologic: try looking in keyboard shortcuts | 08:14 |
| maco | jim_p: ok. i cant help then. but i agree gnuplot is O_O | 08:14 |
| d-b | jim_p: um there is kmplot | 08:14 |
| jim_p | Neurologic, this does not seem like a theme problem. look at some keyboard shortcut | 08:14 |
| maco | right so back to hat i was asking... is it normal that evolution says 0% migrated after uh...20 minutes? | 08:15 |
| jim_p | thansk d-b | 08:15 |
| Neurologic | d-b and jim_p, keyboard shortcut is accurate. | 08:15 |
| bdelin88 | ok before i go to bed... i have this problem where randomly, ALL of my desktop icons and everything on the desktop, files, directories, etc. all disappear and i can't even right click, what is the deal? (compiz and 3d are still running perfectly btw) | 08:15 |
| jim_p | Neurologic, is that button "recognised" by xorg when pressed? | 08:16 |
| maco | right so back to hat i was asking... is it normal that evolution says 0% migrated after uh...20 minutes? oh, and use 100% of cpu? | 08:16 |
| bdelin88 | i can right-click on anything else, just not on the desktop | 08:16 |
| maco | bdelin88: nautilus crashed | 08:16 |
| Neurologic | d-b and jim_p, This is the mute...touch-key on my dell, and it is recognized, it used to work, all of a sudden it isn't, it may have been the recent updates possibly? | 08:16 |
| bdelin88 | well that is neat | 08:16 |
| bdelin88 | maco: how do i get it to never do that again | 08:16 |
| maco | Neurologic: thatd do it | 08:16 |
| jim_p | bdelin88, killall nautilus and make sure nautilus draws your desktop | 08:16 |
| bdelin88 | maco: because i just restarted and it's like that | 08:17 |
| d-b | maybe. shouldn't tho. | 08:17 |
| Neurologic | maco, why? O_o Do I need to reboot? | 08:17 |
| maco | bdelin88: uh...to never crash? well if you can figure out why it crashed and file a bug, maybe itll be fixed? | 08:17 |
| jim_p | Neurologic, what did you update? | 08:17 |
| bdelin88 | maco: lol ok... | 08:17 |
| maco | Neurologic: if it was the kernel or hal or ....a few othr things, it could be a regression caused by the update | 08:17 |
| bdelin88 | maco: that fixed it | 08:17 |
| alarond_ | everyone: yasm or nasm for learning Asm on intrepid? | 08:17 |
| bdelin88 | alright, night ubuntu, tomorrow, i fix my fstab from hell | 08:18 |
| MethodOne | ls | 08:18 |
| Neurologic | jim_p, just everything that was in the update notification | 08:18 |
| Neurologic | maco, so does that mean I need to reboot or something? O_o I have no idea what a regression is lol | 08:18 |
| jim_p | Neurologic, there is a log somewhere for it, but i dont know where | 08:19 |
| maco | Neurologic: regression means they broke something when they tried to fix something else in an updatee | 08:19 |
| bdelin88 | Hikefu: was i just talkin to you about audacity and pulse? | 08:19 |
| christianp | hi all | 08:19 |
| Neurologic | maco, oh O_o well...bleh, I want my mute button lol | 08:20 |
| alarond_ | christianp: hello there | 08:20 |
| christianp | does anyone can help me in make my virtual desktop larger than the actual one? | 08:20 |
| maco | Neurologic: i'd guess hal, acpi, or your sound driver would control it. most likely is acpi | 08:20 |
| christianp | in 8.04 i add subsection "screen" and virtual | 08:20 |
| bdelin88 | Hikefu: let me just say that i had a much more pleasant experience just uninstalling pulse audio completely and having it go back to alsa, very simple process :) and it worked... | 08:20 |
| victamower | sound out of my rear 5.1 speakers is very quiet, all volume controls are unmuted and turned right up, what can I do? | 08:20 |
| christianp | in 8.10 the same seems not to work | 08:20 |
| maco | victamower: file a bug | 08:20 |
| victamower | speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -twav | 08:20 |
| victamower | I'm using that to test | 08:21 |
| daboss | join #ubuntu.it | 08:21 |
| victamower | I'm sure it's a config issue, I just want to fix it! | 08:21 |
| Neurologic | maco, so basically there's nothing I can do, until there's another update? | 08:21 |
| Hikefu | bdelin88, great. I'm using openbox instead of kde or gnome, with alsa on intrepid, and i'm happier | 08:21 |
| maco | victamower: have you ever had loud sound out of that sound card? | 08:21 |
| maco | Neurologic: you can force it back to the old version... | 08:21 |
| victamower | yes | 08:22 |
| Neurologic | maco, eh, is it worth it? or do they bug fix for things like this? | 08:22 |
| histo | Neurologic, you should have old packages in /var/cache/apt/archives | 08:22 |
| maco | Neurologic: they do do bug fixes for that. if you tag something "regression" in launchpad when you report it, it'll get more attention | 08:22 |
| Neurologic | maco, alright, I'll file a bug report then | 08:23 |
| maco | Neurologic: if you enabled Proposed in System -> Administration -> Software Sources, say that in the bug. that's the repo for testing updates. if any regrssions are noticed in it, they're not released to the Updates repository | 08:23 |
| Neurologic | maco, I don't have that checked | 08:24 |
| maco | Neurologic: ok | 08:25 |
| Neurologic | maco, should I still file it? | 08:25 |
| maco | Neurologic: yes | 08:25 |
| maco | Neurologic: if you run ls -lArt /var/cache/apt/archives it'll show (at the bottom of the trminal) the most recently updated packages. read through the ones that say today's date and see if one is acpi | 08:26 |
| shtrb | where can i get package information (like packages.debian.org ) | 08:26 |
| binarymutant | does anyone know a way to convert firefox bookmarks into something usable from the command line? | 08:26 |
| maco | shtrb: packages.ubuntu.com | 08:27 |
| maco | shtrb: we follow most of debian's conventions, i think | 08:27 |
| jim_p | one more request. i need a simple image manipulation app, like gimp, but single windowed. I have tried all gimp derivatives like gimpshop and all are ... | 08:27 |

| shtrb | maco , thanks | 08:28 |
| Neurologic | What does that mean? | 08:28 |
| maco | Neurologic: that's a folder where updates that aren't done downloading go til they finish downloading | 08:28 |
| Neurologic | maco, oh, well, nothing for today, but yet I did a bunch of updates, I know it O_O | 08:28 |
| Neurologic | maco, unless it didn't work? | 08:28 |
| maco | jim_p: not sure what's wrong with gimp's windows. it's the same way photoshop work. | 08:28 |
| jim_p | maco, a bit less i-require-hald-kde-office app? | 08:29 |
| jim_p | *half | 08:29 |
| maco | Neurologic: ok look at the newest ones then. it might have the dates the packages were made, like yesterday... | 08:29 |
| maco | jim_p: gimp's the reason i started using virtual desktops though :P | 08:29 |
| Neurologic | maco, last one after that is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 527650 2008-12-03 17:04 libsnmp-base_5.4.1~dfsg-7.1ubuntu6.1_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1119072 2008-12-03 17:04 libsnmp15_5.4.1~dfsg-7.1ubuntu6.1_i386.deb | 08:30 |
| jim_p | maco, i dont like gimmp for a) some stuff like effects that require an extra layer that is irrelevant to the original and b) multiple windows mess | 08:30 |
| maco | Neurologic: dont have to read them all...hrm ok hit the up key, then add to the end of what i gave you before: | grep acpi | 08:30 |
| KillGuta | hello all | 08:30 |
| KillGuta | how do I sudo the file manager? | 08:31 |
| maco | jim_p: a) fair enough b) i'm still wondering what mess :P | 08:31 |
| KillGuta | *dolphin? | 08:31 |
| jim_p | hello | 08:31 |
| maco | KillGuta: well it not a great idea because you can break stuff more eaily by accident, but kdesu dolphin | 08:31 |
| Neurologic | maco, just goes to next line, nothing happens? | 08:31 |
| maco | jim_p: i'm looking for the othr one i heard of that was good... | 08:31 |

| dayz-ivxx | did anyone have any problems upgrading to 1.10 | 08:33 |
| Finnish | My primary backup drive is NTFS, so size limit needs to be looked | 08:34 |
| James296 | ok, can anyone here PLZ tell me how to properly replace the Mark All Upgrades icon in Synaptic with a much better looking icon? I already found the icon Id like it replaced with, I just wanna know how to do this | 08:34 |

| Finnish | thanks | 08:35 |
| jim_p | balachmar, do you have an hp printer? | 08:35 |
| maco | jim_p: pixel is the other one | 08:35 |
| snek | shantanu: lol i'm in the same boat | 08:35 |
| James296 | anyone plz help me find that out? | 08:36 |
| shantanu | snek: hehe Hi snek | 08:36 |
| balachmar | jim_p: Yes it is a Laserjet 4100, but it is a network printer on the university network | 08:36 |
| maco | jim_p: Pixel isn't free. it's a commercial photo editor for linux http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2008/01/pixel-photoshop.html | 08:36 |
| maco | jim_p: there's a demo version available though | 08:36 |
| jim_p | James296, synaptic and other gtk apps draw their icons depending on the icon theme you use | 08:36 |
| gnux | test | 08:37 |
| dayz-ivxx | jim_p, lawl thanks xD 8.10 x.x little tired | 08:37 |
| balachmar | gnux:pong | 08:37 |
| jim_p | balachmar, try hplip from the hplip site | 08:37 |
| maco | jim_p: that icon isnt part of the theme though | 08:37 |
| jim_p | maco, really?? | 08:37 |
| James296 | the Mark All Upgrades icon never changes no matter what theme I use... | 08:37 |
| snek | maco: wow that's a nice photoshop clone... i likes! | 08:37 |
| maco | balachmar: go to the printer setup thing | 08:37 |
| jim_p | dayz-ivxx, what was the problem? | 08:37 |
| shantanu | anyone got any interesting news? | 08:38 |
| ziroday | shantanu: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:38 |
| maco | balachmar: system -> admin -> printing | 08:38 |
| Flannel | shantanu: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that, this channel is only fo support | 08:38 |
| maco | balachmar: click new | 08:38 |
| maco | balachmar: Windows Printer via SAMBA | 08:38 |
| maco | balachmar: then just put the IP address in the box on the right | 08:38 |
| jim_p | maco, where can i find darkroom? | 08:38 |
| ziroday | James296: unless your theme has a specific icon for that icon then it will not change | 08:38 |
| maco | jim_p: its in the repositories | 08:38 |
| napster | i want to run .exe files on ubuntu, is there any other way than WINE? | 08:39 |
| === LBSources- is now known as LBSources | ||
| balachmar | maco jim_p: Previously in the new printer dialog I saw Windows Printer via SAMBA. However that option is not available anymore | 08:39 |
| James296 | so how DO I manually change that one icon? | 08:39 |
| dayz-ivxx | jim_p, i just upgraded few days ago and it have lots of errors logging in after the start up i believe it was somthing to do with my video so i reinstalled. | 08:39 |
| jim_p | maco, :| where? | 08:39 |
| arrenlex | napster: No. | 08:39 |
| arrenlex | napster: If you have access to a windows key and install disk you could set up vmware\virtual box for yourself. | 08:39 |
| ziroday | James296: do you have a replacement icon? | 08:39 |
| James296 | yes | 08:39 |
| jim_p | maco, lol i am an idiot, there it is | 08:39 |
| balachmar | maco: My question really is how to get that feature back, which package provides that? | 08:39 |
| ziroday | James296: one sec, and please address :) | 08:39 |
| napster | Wine can run almost every application? | 08:39 |
| dayz-ivxx | wow... i can't type right now maybe i should sleep. | 08:40 |
| snek | napster: hmm not almost anything... | 08:40 |
| arrenlex | napster: No, wine only runs a subset of windows apps, although it gets better with every release. | 08:40 |
| snek | napster: it has problems with some major commercial packages like Adobe CS4 etc | 08:40 |

| maco | snek: wait there's a CS4 now? | 08:40 |
| napster | hmm better idea | 08:40 |
| maco | napster: Wine does up to CS2 | 08:40 |
| snek | maco: err yeah lol | 08:40 |
| maco | snek: didnt CS3 come out like 6 months ago? | 08:41 |
| snek | maco: you missed that?! :D | 08:41 |
| napster | I'm just looking for installing Cs2 | 08:41 |
| napster | and i hope it'll work fine with wine | 08:41 |
| snek | maco: cs4 photoshop rocks, it has GPU acceleration and the whole package includes 64bit versions too, so it can finally use my 4gb ram :) | 08:41 |
| maco | snek: sorry, i dont pay attention to proprietary software releases. some new versions of windows and the mac thing came out in the last 2 years i heard, though! | 08:41 |
| maco | snek: no app should need 4gb of ram... | 08:41 |
| jim_p | maco, cinepaint is not in the repos anymore , it stopped in gutsy :( | 08:42 |
| maco | napster: yeah, cs2 works with wine. google sponsored getting that done | 08:42 |
| snek | maco: depends on your line of business.. my friend runs his own animation studio.. ever tried doing uncompressed video at resolutions over 1080p in a special fx package? ;) | 08:42 |

| maco | jim_p: http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/ according to Wired the not-free is that it's $38 for the non-trial version | 08:43 |
| snek | maco: he is actually running out of ram with his current 4gb setup.. next stop is 8gb, and a fibre connection to the server so his 300MB/s raid5 setup can actually be used properly, gigabit isn't cutting it | 08:44 |
| maco | tri: does "a real live network" count as a tool? | 08:44 |
| ziroday | James296: rename the icon to system-upgrade.png and copy it into /usr/share/synaptic/glade | 08:44 |
| maco | tri: on a not-joking note, you could make a bunch of vm's and virtually network them | 08:44 |
| James296 | I have done that and it doesnt change it... | 08:44 |
| jim_p | maco, i still cant buy it. no paypal or similar. much less than photoshop though | 08:44 |
| rulotherock | somebody help changing mi name to user for xubuntu ?? | 08:44 |

| maco | jim_p: you can always try emailing the dev and asking if they accept checks or money orders or something....worth a shot | 08:45 |
| maco | tri: yeah | 08:45 |
| jim_p | maco, true | 08:45 |
| maco | rulotherock: system -> adminitration -> users & groups | 08:45 |

| snek | tri: but i was running vmware under OSX not under Ubuntu... | 08:46 |

| ziroday | James296: okay. see http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/3 and go down to the Misc Icon Improvements section. Try that icon and make sures its set to ugo=rwx | 08:49 |
| d-b | if that's not rc what is ? | 08:49 |
| jim_p | tri, what cpu are you on? | 08:49 |
| maco | tri: or i thought it was all built in... hrm ok well the easy thing to do is install ubuntu-vm-builder if you're using 8.04 or python-vm-builder if 8.10 and then use that to setup a bunch of vm's | 08:49 |

| tri | jim_p, I am using 1.83 dual core ? | 08:49 |
| d-b | maco: mmm the bug goes back to previous releases | 08:50 |
| rulotherock | ohh tnx !! | 08:50 |
| snek | what's the difference between using KVM and Xen for example? | 08:50 |
| jim_p | tri, does it have virtualization extentions in it? | 08:50 |
| maco | d-b: is that the wrong-disk-when-sata-and-ide-both-there one? | 08:50 |
| d-b | i suggest for the next release give users the option to select the disk to put grub on and only put grub on that disk. | 08:50 |
| d-b | ide and ide. no raid. | 08:50 |
| d-b | etc. | 08:50 |
| rulotherock | wherever xD thats nice ! | 08:50 |
| tri | jim_p, no. | 08:50 |
| jim_p | tri, if not, using kvm (the module) is pointless | 08:50 |
| rulotherock | tnx to all!! cya! | 08:50 |
| ziroday | James296: sudo chmod ugo=rwx <icon> | 08:50 |
| jim_p | tri, you dont gain something | 08:50 |
| maco | d-b: oh thats intereting | 08:50 |
| Flannel | d-b: That question is asked during install. | 08:51 |
| maco | d-b: they do give that option in the advanced settings | 08:51 |
| snek | Does KVM re-use any files? or does it make a full image like vmware? i know xen reuses files from the host OS (afaik) | 08:51 |
| tri | jim_p, How to check it ? | 08:51 |
| Flannel | maco: even not advanced settings now | 08:51 |
| maco | Flannel: i just installed intrepid 2 hours ago. it's still in advanced. | 08:51 |
| d-b | Flannel: apparently it is, but only in advanced and otherwise it seems to like breaking my first grub install. which it really shouldn't be touching at all. | 08:51 |
| jim_p | tri, i have an E4500 that lacks the commands too. the kvm module wont load | 08:51 |
| Flannel | maco: From alternate or desktop? | 08:51 |
| maco | Flannel: desktop | 08:51 |
| jim_p | tri, give me a sec | 08:51 |
| d-b | keep it simple stupid --> implies that we don't touch it unless asked / needed. | 08:51 |
| maco | Flannel: well, i had to redo with net-intall since 1/2-way through install my cd drive conked out again | 08:52 |
| Flannel | maco: The last screen before the summary screen gives you the option of where to install GRUB, doesn't it? | 08:52 |
| James296 | ziroday: did that, still nothing... | 08:52 |
| maco | d-b: er, wouldn't "i need to install on not-th-first-disk" be in the "contains the word 'need' category"? | 08:52 |
| jim_p | tri, cat /proc/cpuinfo take a close look at the flags setion. no vtx (since its intel) = no kvm module | 08:52 |
| maco | Flannel: no. its in advanced on the summary screen | 08:52 |
| ziroday | James296: so you tried the icon from the website? | 08:52 |
| Flannel | maco: Hmmm, that's changed. Alright. | 08:53 |

| maco | KillGuta: you don't | 08:53 |
| ziroday | !root | KillGuta | 08:53 |
| ubottu | KillGuta: 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 | 08:53 |

| evanotten_ | Hello, I was wondering if someone could refer me to a page that will help me upgrade from 7.1 to 8.10. I currently have xp dual booted on my laptop. Is there like an update or will i be required to remove my current version to do a full install? | 08:57 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | evanotten_ | 08:58 |
| ubottu | evanotten_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 08:58 |
| snek | james296: why? and can't you just use commandline instead? sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 08:58 |
| Flannel | evanotten_: you can only upgrade one at a time (7.10 to 8.04, 8.04 to 8.10), but with those two steps, you'll be able to do it. | 08:58 |
| James296 | I prefer GUI based | 08:58 |

| jim_p | James296, i think that file shows what icon is applied to what place. removeing it is just... stupid. you will have the icons, but nowhere to put them | 09:02 |
| jim_p | James296, remove the entire icon theme if you dont use it | 09:02 |
| KillGuta | where can I find skip doctor? | 09:03 |

| James296 | so I take it theres NO way for me to change the icon in Synaptic then... | 09:04 |

| reqqit | snek, why is that? | 09:25 |
| James296 | anyway Im gonna get goin now | 09:25 |
| jim_p | reqqit, well ok. wait until the devs make it into a deb and upload it in the repos | 09:25 |
| xnv | jsbach: You could make a link | 09:25 |

| jim_p | reqqit, lmao. no they are not! you can make debs of everything but it requires extra care. checkinstall does the job | 09:27 |

| jim_p | let me search | 09:28 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: no, apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 09:29 |
| ziroday | Alacran: mythbuntu help is in #mythbuntu. You can install it with sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop. You need to add the XBMC repo's to install it | 09:29 |
| remoteCTR1 | jim_p: ya what ever module is fine for me but i guess i need to find out what is in there first, rigth? | 09:29 |
| reqqit | jim_p, http://packages.debian.org/experimental/imagemagick << that only has 6.4.5 - ok, so I grab the rpm, make a deb, and run checkinstall? | 09:29 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: or the -dev packages of the software you're trying to compile | 09:29 |
| reqqit | I think it would be valuable - or compile it on my system and make a deb from it? | 09:29 |
| scort | 081204 9:15:54 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-federated' | 09:29 |

| Alacran | ziroday, thanks | 09:30 |
| jim_p | remoteCTR1, is this wired or wireless? | 09:30 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: you've installed build-essential already, right? | 09:30 |
| ziroday | reqqit: you should know that checkinstall is still very much a hack and can wreck your system. You shouldn't distrobute it out to the public at large | 09:30 |

| jsbach | Myrtti, i dont know, it's not my machine | 09:30 |
| ziroday | farciarz84: that depends on each program. | 09:31 |
| jean | bonjour | 09:31 |
| remoteCTR1 | jim_p: wireless | 09:31 |
| snek | reqqit: aptitude has better logging of updates and makes it a lot easier to roll back any updates if something goes wrong | 09:31 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: check that you have build-essential first | 09:31 |
| farciarz84 | but how can I find eclipse/plugin? | 09:31 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, i needto get all headers like stdlib.h stdio.h in /usr/include | 09:31 |
| reqqit | aaah ok, thanks | 09:31 |
| ziroday | farciarz84: most programs are in /usr or /opt and config files are in /etc | 09:31 |
| jsbach | thats my goal | 09:31 |
| jim_p | reqqit, well aptitute can make "decisions" on packages and stuff. i think apt when used properly can outrun aptitude | 09:31 |
| jsbach | build-essential - informational list of build-essential packages | 09:31 |
| max80 | hello I can't join #kubuntu to solve KDE issue....please help | 09:31 |
| jim_p | remoteCTR1, have a look here http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_install_Intel_Device_4236_under_sidux_2008-03_(%CE%9F%CF%85%CF%81%CE%AD%CE%B1) | 09:31 |
| jsbach | why would i need that? | 09:32 |
| scort | hi im trying to install mysql-server and it fails to start with [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-federated' | 09:32 |
| snek | jim_p: apt-get does seem a lot faster on slow machines, i agree with that.. and i think you are right that aptitude has a slight better dependency resolver | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: because it's the virtual package that pulls all the tools you need to build stuff in the first place | 09:32 |
| remoteCTR1 | jim_p: i will, thanks so far:) | 09:32 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | what is the command to update the software sources, anyone? | 09:32 |
| max80 | can somebody help me for a KDE problem?? | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | rookeeeeeeeee: sudo aptitude update | 09:32 |
| zetheroo | why is it that in Ubuntu Hardy I cannot share files and folders? | 09:33 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | thanks | 09:33 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: share folders how? | 09:33 |
| jim_p | remoteCTR1, i can give explanations if you need anything. basically the whole thing is from step 2 and below | 09:33 |
| jsbach | ok this looks good | 09:33 |
| zilenCe | hello | 09:33 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, thanks. | 09:33 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: right-click Sharing Options | 09:33 |
| snek | zetheroo: sharing to what other machines? windows or linux? | 09:33 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: okay that is using samba | 09:34 |
| zilenCe | I have a quick question, I have a new intel q9550 and want to install ubuntu - should I use the x86 or 64-bit version? | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: I get this error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. | 09:34 |
| jsbach | ok, as i am here, a simple package manager question.. | 09:34 |
| jsbach | what is the easiest way to list the installed files(with dir info) of a package | 09:34 |
| jsbach | apt-?? ?? | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: libc6-dev: /usr/include/stdlib.h (answer that I got after installing apt-file and doing a search with it) | 09:35 |
| snek | zetheroo: seems it didn't ask you for an admin password so it is trying to configure samba with your normal user, which doesn't have permission for that | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: installed files? | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | hmmm | 09:35 |
| zetheroo | snek: why don't I have the permissions? ... the folders are in my user ... | 09:35 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: go to Systems > Users and Groups > <your username> > User Privilages > Make sure Share files with the local network is ticked | 09:35 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, jah, equery filename package? | 09:35 |
| snek | zetheroo: to configure samba you need admin rights (i guess) | 09:35 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: it is ticked | 09:36 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: and I am also in the sambashare group | 09:36 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: okay, one sec | 09:37 |
| ooooorly | Is there a kino channel? I'm trying to work out why it no file appears in the directory after I export something. | 09:37 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, sorry, to put it cleaerer for mysql-server: apt-{?} mysql-server | 09:37 |
| Lancao | hi any body virtrual win xp on ubuntu? I need help on the sound for win XP | 09:37 |

| jim_p | remoteCTR1, you are welcome | 09:38 |
| blackpearl | can any one tell me command to clean-up Ubuntu | 09:39 |
| farciarz84 | how to use 'find' to search only directory? | 09:39 |
| remoteCTR1 | blackpearl: what do you mean by clean up? | 09:39 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: you're trying to compile mysql-server yourself? | 09:39 |
| _ruben | farciarz84: find -type d | 09:39 |
| farciarz84 | _ruben: tnx | 09:39 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: hmm it "just works" for me. | 09:39 |

| DIFH-iceroot | i am searching for a program which converts png,jpg and gif to svg, any useful tips? | 09:40 |
| jsbach | apt-list mysql-server (?) | 09:40 |
| jsbach | afaik imagemagick makes that kind of stuff, but you'd better check | 09:40 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: in Hardy? | 09:41 |
| jsbach | and gimp | 09:41 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: apt-file show <package> shows where the packages are configured to install the files | 09:41 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: no, intrepid. | 09:41 |
| ziroday | DIFH-iceroot: gimp can convert those | 09:41 |
| ompaul | DIFH-iceroot, imagemagick do "man mogrify" for details | 09:41 |
| jsbach | Myritti, apt-file show mysql-server | 09:42 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: yeah ... Iam talking about Hardy :) | 09:42 |
| jsbach | doesn't show me anything? | 09:42 |
| farciarz84 | _ruben: do U know how t ofind my eclipse dir in ubuntu, whre I can put plugins? | 09:42 |
| ziroday | DIFH-iceroot: wait no it doesn't. Sorry | 09:42 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ziroday: ok, dont know that gim can handle svg-files but i will look at it, thx | 09:42 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ziroday: ok | 09:42 |
| blackpearl | remoteCTR1 : some command was their to get rid of temp files/folder..i cant remember | 09:42 |

| Myrtti | Maveas: is what included in ubuntu? | 09:43 |
| Maveas | GMP. GNU Multiple-Precision Library | 09:43 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, of course, otherwise, i'd have gotten a 'file not found' ;) | 09:43 |

| Dabbu | I have "database management system" as my subject.....in windows we use ORACLE to create tables and use command for different queries and etc...i want to do that in ubuntu...any help ? | 09:44 |
| ziroday | Maveas: if the package is gmp-ecm then nope. | 09:44 |
| Myrtti | Maveas: atleast I have libgmp3c2 installed | 09:44 |
| BlueEagle | Maveas: libgmp3c2 | 09:44 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: what about apt-file show mysql-server-5.0 | 09:45 |
| Maveas | Thanks, ziroday, Myrtti and BlueEagle :) | 09:45 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: Does the SQL server have to be oracle? | 09:45 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: because I got a huge list even with apt-file show mysql-server | 09:45 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: If you are not aware of this, there are a number of server that speak (various diaclects of) SQL. | 09:46 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, i dont. | 09:46 |
| Dabbu | BlueEagle: i dont know..... | 09:46 |
| jsbach | strange | 09:46 |
| mib_7hhcko | hello guys | 09:46 |
| Dabbu | BlueEagle: the command we use in windows oracle will work here or not ? | 09:46 |
| fantomas | !bugs | 09:46 |

| mib_7hhcko | how to use putty | 09:46 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: oh. | 09:47 |
| mib_7hhcko | help me | 09:47 |
| mne | Hi, where can I see which kernel patches have been applied to the ubuntu kernel sources ? | 09:47 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: In most cases MySQL will do the same as oracle for basic queries, but there are differences when it comes to rolling back queries and foreign key restrictions then there are differences. | 09:47 |
| mib_7hhcko | :D | 09:47 |
| Myrtti | jsbach: you did run sudo apt-file update first, right? | 09:47 |
| jsbach | ah | 09:47 |
| Myrtti | mib_7hhcko: erm, putty? why would you use putty in Ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| jsbach | ok i'll do that | 09:47 |
| Dabbu | BlueEagle: so how i will learn them ? | 09:47 |
| mib_7hhcko | ha ha | 09:47 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: google is your friend. | 09:47 |
| mib_7hhcko | no for windows | 09:48 |
| mib_7hhcko | ok | 09:48 |
| mib_7hhcko | i have done nmap scan on squid proxy server | 09:48 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: also postgresql may or may not be more similar to oracle. | 09:48 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, even if i have installed apt-file, i have to initialize a system tool myself.. strange | 09:48 |
| jsbach | Myrtti, so it works now | 09:48 |
| jsbach | thanks | 09:48 |
| Dabbu | BlueEagle: if i want to download ORACLE for linux.......will that work in ubuntu ? | 09:48 |
| jaro | mib, download, dble click and then put address and credentials you are set... | 09:49 |
| mib_7hhcko | it saying port 22 as tcpwrapped | 09:49 |
| mib_7hhcko | it saying port 22 as tcpwrapped | 09:49 |
| snek | dabbu: sure, why not.. might be a bit tricky to setup though | 09:49 |
| Dabbu | snek: tricky ? | 09:49 |
| mib_7hhcko | jaro will you help me out here | 09:49 |
| Maveas | Damm | 09:49 |
| snek | dabbu: well, it's not going to be as easy to configure as a basic mysql/postgresql setup, which would be as easy as: sudo aptitude install mysql-server | 09:50 |
| Maveas | Firefox stalls when I'm trying to logon to my homebanking | 09:50 |
| Maveas | Got Java :S | 09:50 |

| jaro | ok I do not have it infront of me. | 09:50 |
| mib_7hhcko | ok | 09:50 |
| Dabbu | snek: if i install mysql server,i need client also or not | 09:50 |
| jaro | but all you have to do is put the address and the user | 09:50 |
| Maveas | I've got Java and OpenJava installed at the same time - does that make a conflict? :S | 09:50 |
| ooooorly | anyone? | 09:51 |
| mib_7hhcko | proy server ip is 192.168.1.1 | 09:51 |
| snek | dabbu: yes i think so | 09:51 |
| jaro | as long as you have the correct usr and pass. and the server is configure right you can access | 09:51 |
| snek | dabbu: a lot of software i run relies on the mysql-client so i never need to install that when i install the server.. | 09:51 |
| snek | dabbu: because it's already installed by something else | 09:51 |
| Dabbu | snek: ok | 09:52 |
| jaro | are you trying t connect ssh? | 09:52 |
| Dabbu | snek: do u know any guide to swith from oracle to mysql ? | 09:52 |
| mib_7hhcko | yes jaro | 09:52 |
| snek | dabbu: what exactly are you learning? just simple queries? or also stored procedurs/triggers/functions, etc? | 09:52 |
| jaro | and your lnx box is sitting at 192.168.1.1? | 09:53 |
| mib_7hhcko | its saying server unexpectldy closed the connection | 09:53 |
| mib_7hhcko | yes | 09:53 |
| Dabbu | snek: started with queries but we have to learn much more in future | 09:53 |
| snek | dabbu: because most databases are all ACID compliant, which means they all use the same SQL syntax.. | 09:53 |
| mib_7hhcko | the lnx box is likely to be fedora | 09:54 |
| mib_7hhcko | jaro | 09:54 |
| mapreduce | SQL differs a lot between databases. | 09:54 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: http://www.pythian.com/blogs/549/installing-oracle-11g-on-ubuntu-linux-704 will most likely work for 8.10 aswell | 09:55 |
| Dabbu | snek: in college they will give us commad for oracle only | 09:55 |
| Dabbu | BlueEagle: ok | 09:55 |
| mib_7hhcko | jarooooooooooo | 09:55 |
| snek | yeah follow that then.. | 09:55 |
| BlueEagle | Dabbu: and again, google is your friend. | 09:56 |

| arvind_khadri | ikonia: and as of now am on a live cd with ubuntu present at the secondary partition | 10:08 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: appears to be this one: Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller | 10:08 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 I'm not aware of that device, check if it's supported on linux | 10:09 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: found this link here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_install_Intel_Device_4236_under_sidux_2008-03_(%CE%9F%CF%85%CF%81%CE%AD%CE%B1) | 10:09 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri ok - so what have you tried ? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 what is sidux ? | 10:09 |
| snek | sidux is a distro | 10:09 |
| ikonia | but how is the link relevant to ubuntu ? | 10:10 |
| snek | sidux is also debian based | 10:10 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: the general find/boot/grub/ method and the mounting of the drive to a loaction then using grub-install | 10:10 |
| ikonia | snek but how is that link relevant to ubuntu | 10:10 |
| fantomas | !даы | 10:10 |
| fantomas | !lfs | 10:10 |
| ubottu | LFS is linux from scratch www.linuxfromscratch.org; not to be confused with LTS which is the long term support version of ubuntu (6.06 and 8.04) | 10:10 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: good question i have no idea frankly spoken:D | 10:10 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 my first thign would be to find out what kernel modules that card "can" use, before looking at the firmware | 10:11 |
| TheoPast | anyBody still alive | 10:11 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: i also found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=945270 here they spweak of an iwlagn kernel module but i cant find that one | 10:11 |
| snek | ikonia: well a guide for debian or sidux should in theory work for ubuntu, or at least give a general idea of what actions to take, no? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | TheoPast: many | 10:11 |
| TheoPast | familiar with beryl | 10:11 |
| ikonia | snek no as it's calling out non-ubuntu packages, to that guide is invalid | 10:11 |
| fantomas | Am I the only person on the planet who has broken volume control in MOC player on 8.04? | 10:12 |
| ikonia | TheoPast beryl is dead, replaced with compiz-fusion | 10:12 |

| ompaul | snek, no, mainly because things change, sidux is sid based knoppix where klaus goes to get his clues towards its release day, and celtux is downstream of that they are very far from the tree | 10:12 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: just reading the forum thread | 10:12 |

| ikonia | TheoPast not the same thign, hence why it's important you say the correct names | 10:13 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: what should i do? | 10:13 |
| zerodevice | how do i obtain the external ip from ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri I would use the grub shell to re-apply grub | 10:13 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: PCI ID is 8086:4236 | 10:13 |
| ikonia | zerodevice: you need to be on the same network as a dhcp server | 10:13 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: with ubuntu at the primary partition? | 10:14 |
| TheoPast | ikonia: ok....you familiar with it | 10:14 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri it really doesn't matter | 10:14 |
| ikonia | TheoPast: I use it | 10:14 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: so i should follow /find/grub method? | 10:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: can it be that this iwlagn module is only avail in intrepid but not hardy? | 10:14 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 give me a minute or two to finish reading | 10:15 |

| arvind_khadri | ikonia: yes | 10:16 |
| zerodevice | are there any sudo commands to check the external ip? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri right so you want to install grub on the mbr of the disk that is default boot device, while pointing the"root" option at the disk where the state 1 files are | 10:16 |
| kke | songbird deb for amd64 anywhere yet? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | zerodevice: no | 10:17 |
| ikonia | zerodevice: ifocnfig eth0 shows you the stauts of your network card | 10:17 |

| arvind_khadri | ikonia: yeah | 10:17 |
| mostrapotski | use lynks :p | 10:17 |

| snek | ikonia: that won't show it if he's behind a router and wants the external ip | 10:19 |
| ikonia | snek nope | 10:19 |
| ikonia | snek: but thats nothing to do with ubuntu if he wants teh extrernal nat address | 10:19 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: hd0 would be sda and hd1 would be sdb right? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri if you look in /boot/grub/device.map it will show you the maps | 10:20 |

| Kalidarn | hi, i have a Logitech Quickcam 9000... what i've noticed is the framerate in skype is much worse than it is in windows (where i get silky smooth speeds)... i've had trouble getting luvcview to show anything but a black box when opening it | 11:36 |
| Kalidarn | the red light lights up though as if it is taking picture i've tried to get luvcview to view at different resolutions and frame rates.. but it still doesn't want to work | 11:36 |
| penno | thanks ikonia | 11:37 |
| Kalidarn | oh and my webcam is on /dev/video0 | 11:38 |
| Kalidarn | so its definitely pointing to the right place | 11:38 |
| Kalidarn | i could't get guvcview to work either | 11:38 |
| Kalidarn | both seem to crash too | 11:38 |
| Kalidarn | and i have to kill them with killall -9 | 11:39 |
| ooglebutte | !webcam | Kalidarn this might have a clue | 11:39 |
| ubottu | Kalidarn this might have a clue: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 11:39 |
| Kalidarn | (and yeah i know its a supported one) ;) | 11:39 |

| Kalidarn | hmm | 11:41 |
| [e]Lement | Hm | 11:41 |
| chiliblue_ | Solved my amazonmp3 download app install on a amd64 issues | 11:41 |
| [e]Lement | I found another weird bug when updating to 8.10 | 11:41 |
| Kalidarn | mm | 11:42 |
| penno | so u telling me that linux dont get a virus | 11:43 |
| [e]Lement | penno, yes as it is based off the same thing Mac OS X is. | 11:43 |
| Myrtti | penno: it's very, very, very unlikely | 11:43 |
| ikonia | penno read the link, there are different way tto exploit | 11:43 |
| Kalidarn | [e]Lement, no its not actually | 11:43 |
| Kalidarn | ;) | 11:43 |
| [e]Lement | Uh | 11:43 |
| [e]Lement | Yeah | 11:43 |
| Kalidarn | macosx is bsd and mach ;) | 11:43 |
| Kalidarn | linux is not bsd and mach :) | 11:43 |
| [e]Lement | Linux is loosely based off UNIX | 11:43 |
| [e]Lement | BSD is based off UNIX | 11:43 |
| Kalidarn | linux is a unix-like system ;) | 11:44 |
| [e]Lement | They are distant cousins | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | where as osx is unix ;) | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | well more unixy | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | than what linux is ;) | 11:44 |
| ikonia | does it matter ? | 11:44 |
| FloodBot2 | Kalidarn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:44 |
| [e]Lement | Correct | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | ikonia, it means its less posix compliant ^_^ | 11:44 |
| [e]Lement | But as I was saying, they are closer than Mac OS X -> The NT Kernel | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | and doesn't get the special batch that macosx did | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Kalidarn does it matter for the puporse of the question | 11:44 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | haha probably not i didn't read that | 11:44 |
| [e]Lement | Wait | 11:44 |
| Kalidarn | its got nothing to do with getting viruses though | 11:44 |
| [e]Lement | So if we go off topic my lazy ass has to join another channel? | 11:45 |
| Kalidarn | its because most of the software comes through digitally signed repositories | 11:45 |
| puneeth | !nvidia | 11:45 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:45 |
| Kalidarn | and not from random installers, it is possible if you ran an un-trusted .deb file from somewhere on the internet it could do harm penno | 11:45 |
| * [e]Lement installs a rootkit on Kalidarn's PC | 11:45 | |
| [e]Lement | I really want to invest in an eee pc and get Ubuntu EEE | 11:46 |

| Tyrath | Bacta: ahh I see... have you tried disabling some of the advanced package installs at the splash? | 12:25 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: why would you say that | 12:25 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: it's not getting tot he menu stage | 12:25 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: uuid's aren't even referened before that | 12:26 |

| ikonia | arvind_khadri: you shouldn't do that | 12:26 |
| Tyrath | Bacta: I think there's a key you can press which allows you to uncheck package installs off the splash screen | 12:26 |

| Tyrath | Bacta: I'm not 100 percent sure what it is tho, it should say somewhere at splash | 12:27 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: hmm... but there was no other way to run update-grub as # grub people said to do so | 12:27 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: when yu boot, do you get teh grub menu, yes/no | 12:27 |

| ikonia | arvind_khadri: ooh you do | 12:27 |
| Tyrath | Bacta: there also should be an install line and you could delete a few options off the line (possibly not a good idea unless you know exactly what you're doing) | 12:28 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: :) thats why i said its due to UUID's :) | 12:28 |

| jrib | ataufik: install w32codecs from the medibuntu repository | 12:59 |
| erUSUL | !w32codecs | ataufik | 12:59 |
| ubottu | ataufik: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 12:59 |
| lunaphyte_ | ikonia: that much i know. what i don't understand is why, moments later, it's able to just fine. | 12:59 |
| ataufik | jrib, Thanks for quick response. I will try that now | 12:59 |
| snek | lianimator: well, it's tricky.. the last 1gb is partly reserved for your vga card and other incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo like that ;) | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Tyrath: and sometimes if a software is not well maintained they may not keep up to date with changes in the kernel so 2.6.11 or greater it works with, but anything over 2.6.20 it may fail | 12:59 |
| sajuuk | At the moment my laptop monitor is the 'left' but i want it to be the right | 12:59 |
| ikonia | lunaphyte_: because your dns can't resolve the hostname, | 12:59 |
| ataufik | thx for quick response everyone | 13:00 |
| snek | lianimator: if you want to use the full 4gb without problems it is recommended to use 64bit | 13:00 |
| sajuuk | can i do the changes in resolution manager? | 13:00 |
| lianimator | snek: ah. then.... it's fine right? I'm not actually wasting any?? 3GB is more than enough for me I think.. I'll use only about 2GB | 13:00 |
| jrib | lunaphyte_: because it's just a warning. Apache should be starting anyway | 13:00 |
| meganox | jrib: can i just set perms on the mount point while it's mounted? thought i needed to set uid and umask in mount options | 13:00 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: i tried installing the old version via a make and still it couldn't find the headers :/. i'm going to apt the headers and see what luck I have | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Tyrath apt the headers ? do you know what package they are in ? | 13:01 |
| sken | does anybody know how can i convert videos to mp3 in ubuntu 8..10? | 13:01 |
| snek | lianimator: well, it is still a small waste i guess, plus the 64bit version is a bit faster in general.. but if you will never use that much it won't make too much difference | 13:01 |
| lunaphyte_ | jrib: yeah, it does - but with wrong info, breaking things like rewriting in certain cases and use of certain envvars. | 13:01 |
| ikonia | sken: mencoder | 13:01 |
| jrib | meganox: yes, you have to set the permissions while it's mounted and you do it to the mount point (and anything under it). uid and gid options make no sense for ext3 since it can handle permissions in the filesystem | 13:01 |

| arvind_khadri | ikonia: nothing works here :( , can i install only lilo through alternate cd? | 13:02 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: it tells me sometimes... but i don't have to install them i don't think... it might be a simple symlink problem... | 13:02 |
| sajuuk | omg done, thx meganox you made my day | 13:02 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri why do you want to install lilo | 13:02 |
| sken | ikonia how can i install mencoder? | 13:02 |
| rohdef | how do I make my laptop work with a projector | 13:02 |
| lianimator | snek: thanks :) | 13:02 |
| ikonia | sken: it's part of the mplayer package | 13:02 |
| sajuuk | meganox, my hat is off to you | 13:02 |
| lianimator | rohdef: what's your vga card? | 13:02 |
| jrib | lunaphyte_: you should check the apache docs on what that should be. I guess hostname works, but there are probably cases where you'd want something else. #apache probably knows more | 13:02 |
| meganox | sajuuk: glad it worked, i crashed X when i did it ;) | 13:02 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: is it not good to install that? | 13:02 |
| sken | so? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: you need to start giving more info instead of just keep saying "it doesn't work" I can't help you with "it doesn't work" | 13:02 |
| snek | yaser: Tutorials & Tips would be a good place I think: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100 | 13:02 |
| rohdef | lianimator, Intel something, it's an onboard | 13:02 |
| sajuuk | i did that two days ago, i was prepared to do it | 13:02 |
| sajuuk | good night all :D | 13:02 |

| ataufik | another question of WMV, currently I just installed VLC and Mplayer... can I remove it and just use Totem? | 13:03 |
| lianimator | rohdef: how are you going to connect the projector to the laptop? | 13:03 |
| jrib | snek: ffmpeg would be another converting program | 13:03 |
| rohdef | lianimator, normal VGA-cable | 13:03 |
| sken | i have installed mencoder ikonia | 13:03 |
| sken | i mean mplayer ikonia | 13:03 |
| lianimator | rohdef: the blue big thing? | 13:03 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia: the same error came up after i changed the UUID's ,error 17, and now i have fixed the MBR so that atleast i can boot into Windows | 13:03 |
| EZAS | Nvidia restricted drivers + reboot = black screen (8.04) - If I got to recovery, I will be able to see the login screen again, but then teh driver is disabled .. PLEASE HELP... please | 13:03 |
| sken | does anybody know how can i convert videos to mp3 in ubuntu 8..10? | 13:03 |
| EZAS | using an 8800GT 512MB | 13:03 |
| rohdef | lianimator, eh? What blue thing? | 13:03 |
| Matrix2323 | Plz help dont run Windows Media center | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ataufik: sure, you can remove anything you want that you don't need | 13:04 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri right get back to how you where with grub not working, then boot into a livecd, and lets fix this | 13:04 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: ok i just checked the location of the headers it was checking and oddly i already have those headers installed... | 13:04 |
| jrib | sken: ffmpeg or mencoder... | 13:04 |
| meganox | jrib: thanks, my vfat USB drive was my only reference point. there are no default options for ext2/3 in gconf. of course there aren't! | 13:04 |
| lianimator | rohdef: normal vga cable.. like a monitor? | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Matrix2323: huh? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | Tyrath check the location to see ifi t's in the include path | 13:04 |
| sken | jrib which is better? | 13:04 |
| jeaton | i installed ubuntu a little while ago, and now im unable to boot back into windows, it's still an option under GRUB, but it just says "starting up" | 13:04 |
| rohdef | lianimator, yes like an old monitor, new digital monitors (like most lcd-monitors use DVI) | 13:04 |
| Matrix2323 | Ubuntu with wine dont run Windows media center, dont use my tuner tv | 13:05 |
| chiliblue_ | jeaton you get as far as the windows splash screen | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jeaton: check your /boot/grub/menu.lst is correct | 13:05 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: actually it says i must have read/write access to my kernal source tree | 13:05 |
| tdreyer1 | why does nautilus randomly start using 100% of my cpu? | 13:05 |
| snek | Matrix2323: yeah i doubt that's going to work at all... you want to use a native Linux application | 13:05 |
| jrib | sken: depends on your criteria of course. Both will get the job done. ffmpeg is newer and I tend to use that | 13:05 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: do you know where the source tree is? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Matrix2323: xbmc can do all that, WMC is a windows app | 13:05 |
| lianimator | rohdef: not sure on an intel card.. thought it might be nvidia. | 13:05 |
| sken | jrib how can i install ffmpeg | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Tyrath: /usr/src | 13:05 |
| snek | Matrix2323: MythTV might be another option | 13:06 |
| jrib | snek: use APT | 13:06 |
| jeaton | chiliblue_: no, only the next screen after grub, where it just says "starting up.." | 13:06 |
| snek | jrib: you keep using my nick, but you mean someone else :P | 13:06 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: and I just chmod u+rw /usr/src ? | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Tyrath: it is complaining about that header though, in clear english | 13:06 |
| jrib | snek, sken: wow, you're right | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Tyrath: why are you looking at permissisons when the error is in clear english | 13:06 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: i'm trying to install the older driver. and the stack dump is saying i need read/write privs | 13:07 |
| Matrix2323 | but dont run in wine or crossover, for is very good | 13:07 |
| ikonia | Tyrath look in /usr/src | 13:07 |
| sken | jrib how can install ffmpeg? | 13:07 |
| jeaton | ActionParsnip1: /boot/grub/menu.list should be correct, but i can paste it along with fdisk -l if you like? | 13:07 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: it's there | 13:07 |
| jrib | sken: use APT (apt-get or Synaptic) | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jeaton: sure, put it in the same paste | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Matrix2323: xbmc is a similar app, if you want WMC, use windows | 13:08 |
| sken | jrib i installed it via command but ffmpeg didn't appear in menu | 13:08 |
| Matrix2323 | in virtual box working good windows media center?? | 13:08 |
| jrib | sken: it's command line | 13:09 |
| hmw | ActionParsnip1 i give up, this is way too complicated, and i dont even have similar folders/file names. no "application/x-executeable" at all | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Matrix2323: ive not used it in that context, give it a try. id use xbmc instead | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hmw: i dont use gnome so i cant give first hand experience help | 13:09 |
| Tyrath | ikonia: what's bizarre is it tells me the header directory is rwxrwxrwx - meaning all privs granted unless i'm mistaken | 13:10 |
| ikonia | Tyrath: can you show me the exact error message please | 13:10 |
| chiliblue_ | what is the name of ubuntu 8.10? | 13:10 |

| jrib | meganox: well the labels should be changed right away. You just need to remount them. With external disks you could just plug them in again. Not sure what to do with the internal ones | 13:13 |
| hmw | fightskillz you can use "sudo gedit <filename>" | 13:13 |
| Ashgadgets | my apt is broken! | 13:13 |
| Pici | !gksudo | hmw fightskillz | 13:13 |
| ubottu | hmw fightskillz: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:14 |

| kebomix | hmw: yes | 13:34 |
| snek | ataufik: gstreamer plugins are what totem uses to play media files in general | 13:34 |
| wisnut | okay - so has anyone had issues with java on FF, Intrepid 64, tried posted 'fixes' and nothing works? | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | matrix223: i find it bloated but if it works for yuo then cool :) | 13:34 |
| rimas123 | meganox : thanks, but i dont have alt cd and my optical drive isnt working:) | 13:34 |
| hmw | kebomix if you already have the compiz settings manager installed, you just need to activate the plugin "Place Windows" afair | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wisnut: use icedtea | 13:34 |
| snek | ActionParsnip1: you're right, i forgot about that function in IRC.. haven't used it in years :) | 13:35 |
| ataufik | snek : can I use this syntax : apt-get install gstreamer0.10* to install all gstreamer codec? | 13:35 |

| jrib | sken: by "infile" I meant the path to the input file and by "outfile" I meant the name of the output file. So something like: ffmpeg -i foo.avi foo.mp3 | 13:37 |
| Lartza_ | will deb package for debian sid work in gutsy? | 13:37 |
| Jim_Raynor | come on, guys... throw me a little attention here! | 13:37 |
| jrib | Lartza_: no, not in general. Use the ubuntu repositories | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !debian | Lartza_ | 13:37 |
| ubottu | Lartza_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 13:37 |
| jurism | quick question about network/interfaces what is broadcast and network. are they the same as preffered and alternate DNS server in WIndowsXP? | 13:37 |
| Lartza_ | too old | 13:37 |
| ataufik | ActionParsnip1, : thank you... will try | 13:37 |
| Lartza_ | my firend needs wesnoth 1.4.6 | 13:37 |
| jrib | Lartza_: what exactly is too old? | 13:37 |
| tiyowan | Jim_Raynor: What's the problem? | 13:37 |
| Lartza_ | on gutsy rep its 1.2.6 | 13:37 |
| wisnut | default, demo print, divx, gcj (i think this is the problem), quick time, shockware, totem, windows media player | 13:37 |
| reqqit | 'sup guys - so, on modems, screw my conexant winmodem - are there supported USB hardware Fax/Modems? | 13:37 |
| Lartza_ | for debian sid it would be 1.4.6 | 13:37 |

| Jim_Raynor | I can't connect to encrypted wifi networks since I upgraded to the Ibex | 13:38 |

| kebomix | hmw: thx that worked | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jurism: in a class c network, the last octet will be 255 for broadcast and 0 for network | 13:38 |
| Jim_Raynor | No encrypted networking for Raynor | 13:38 |

| ubottu | student: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 13:41 |
| snek | endo602: optical under linux is a problem, let alone x-fi optical.. you're lucky it even works with analog plugs, the drivers are brand new | 13:41 |
| kebomix | guys , i did instructions on this page http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=ipw2200 and i lost my wireless connection ?!!! | 13:41 |
| sken | http://paste.ubuntu.com/80331/ | 13:41 |
| ataufik | snek & ActionParsnip1 : gstreamer0.10-pitfdll installed and still can't play the WMV, I will try snek's advice | 13:41 |
| Jim_Raynor | WPA, WEP... no issues on that version... BUT when I updated to Ibex, game over man! | 13:41 |
| sken | jrib didn't work | 13:41 |
| tiyowan | Jim_Raynor: hold on | 13:41 |
| endo602 | snek should i just stay with windows until its resolved? | 13:41 |
| azfira | ibe_kom | 13:41 |
| snek | endo602: yeah, x-fi is nowhere near complete support under linux | 13:42 |
| jrib | sken: you need to be in the directory that youtube.YouTube_-_eisai_sto_myalo_kati_magiko.flv is in | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jurism: yeah the ip will be 192.168.2.x with netmask 25.255.255.0. network 192.168.2.0. broadcast 192.168.2.255 | 13:42 |
| endo602 | sounds like the best advice i heard in awhile | 13:42 |
| endo602 | i got ubuntu running on a vm | 13:42 |
| endo602 | under vista | 13:42 |
| endo602 | and the sound works | 13:42 |
| sken | you mean to copy paste the video in command line jrib? | 13:42 |
| endo602 | but i will leave it at that | 13:42 |
| snek | endo602: it's using the vmware driver then, that's different | 13:43 |
| jurism | OK. do I need to add DNS server as local IP or my ISP DNS server IP? | 13:43 |
| jrib | sken: no, I mean you are now in ~ (/home/dimitris) in the command line. But your video is not in ~, it is somewhere else right? You want to 'cd' to that directory that it is in | 13:43 |
| sken | explain jrib | 13:43 |
| meganox | jurism: router IP if you have a router | 13:43 |
| tiyowan | Jim_Raynor: Could you open up a terminal and type iwconfig and see what it says please. | 13:43 |
| jurism | ok, thank You! | 13:43 |
| sken | i don't understand jrib explain | 13:43 |

| Lartza_ | outbackwifi: heard of colinux? | 14:38 |
| on5sl | tiyowan: could be..but that's not the problem...it's my samba that is the problem | 14:38 |

| tiyowan | on5sl: What seems to be the problem exactly? | 14:38 |
| rootsnatch | Lartza_: what is colinux? | 14:38 |

| arvind_khadri | ikonia: rebooting now..will be back in few minutes | 14:40 |

| tiyowan | on5sl: I'm not experienced at all in samba...but obviously you need to change the permissions for a particular use from somewhere. | 14:41 |

| kebomix | anybody help me with that http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/1158/screenshotnetworksettinuk7.th.png | 15:19 |
| BenHoltz | i have the problem explained here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634640 | 15:20 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia;sorry tht i didnt mention.....got affected by virus in XP | 15:20 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight so what do you want done ? | 15:20 |
| thiebaude | bbl | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mrthraz That does not look bad... but I need to get ready for class... | 15:21 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; i dumped it in my desktop..and wen i m trying and deleting it....its not getting deleted... | 15:21 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight can you start talking in fact. What do you mean you "dumped it on your desktop" - did you copy the files to your desktop, or are you accessing them from your desktop, how are you trying to delete them, what file system is on the pen drive | 15:22 |
| hogar | yes it brings a cd burner by default | 15:23 |
| snek | DarkKnight: check the owner of the file using a terminal.. "ls -al" will show you some more info than usual.. you might be able to delete them with "sudo rm -f" | 15:23 |
| MrBlueberry | hello | 15:23 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; i copied it 2 desktop.... and in the icon symbol, a lock symbol also appears...though i never put any permission rights upon it...when i delete the files...it says...permission denied | 15:23 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: ok, so who is the owner of the files and what are the permissions on the file | 15:24 |
| MrBlueberry | can anyone help me? I like KDE but there is one little problem: is it better to install KDE on existing Ubuntu system or to install Kubuntu itself? | 15:24 |
| RocknRoll | hi guys | 15:24 |
| ikonia | MrBlueberry just install #kubuntu desktop | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snek be very careful when giving out the force command that you include a path after it.. If yo pass the wrong thing to a beginner they wont know and can erase everything | 15:24 |
| jeaton | i had windows xp on this box, installed ubuntu, and I cannot boot to it anymore, the option is under grub, but it just says "starting up..." | 15:25 |
| TiMiDo | !flash | 15:25 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 15:25 |
| snek | Jack_Sparrow: kk, that's why i didn't include a path behind it ;) | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MrBlueberry sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 15:25 |
| MrBlueberry | thanks :) | 15:25 |
| Wi_Fibre | Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'm trying to install Cedega using the tgz file???? I'm brand new to linux, I just wiped out my XP machine and went full Ubuntu. | 15:25 |
| MrBlueberry | will it be as useful as a Kubuntu installation? | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snek include something like /path/filename just so they know | 15:25 |
| ikonia | MrBlueberry it is akubuntu install | 15:26 |
| snek | Jack_Sparrow: i'll keep it in mind hehe | 15:26 |
| thiebaude | ikonia: i got the floppy in the drive and icon still didn't pop-up | 15:26 |
| BenHoltz | Hey Jack_Sparrow, do you know of any programs that i can use that would solve this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634640 ? | 15:26 |
| ikonia | thiebaude is there a readable file sytem on the floppy | 15:26 |
| MrBlueberry | i mean: i would go for installing just KDE DESKTOP if it was : ) | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snek Very low tollerance for anyone writing that command unclearly or wrong.. | 15:26 |
| hogar | do you know some cd burner to ubuntu 5.04? | 15:26 |
| mrthraz | Jack_Sparrow i dont understand. | 15:26 |
| thiebaude | ikonia:bookmarks for firefox | 15:26 |
| MrBlueberry | i have a Kubuntu CD at all... which is the better way? | 15:26 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; i created those files on my desktop...and then copied 2 my pendrive...then inserted the pd in a virus infected system...so it got affected.....made some changes to the files....and then brought back to my system and saved it back to my desktop | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BenHoltz YOu need to post descriptions and not just links | 15:26 |
| genii | 5.04 ?? | 15:26 |
| ikonia | hogar: 5.04 is not supported any more | 15:26 |
| bazhang | hogar that is eol | 15:27 |
| ikonia | MrBlueberry: you've been told install kubuntu-desktop | 15:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MrBlueberry you can always dual boot both nix | 15:27 |
| lenswipe | how do i mount my file system on my desktop under 8.04? | 15:27 |
| lenswipe | -l | 15:27 |
| bazhang | !eol | hogar as we said before | 15:27 |

| MrBlueberry | thank you for help mates : ) | 15:27 |
| Wi_Fibre | Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'm trying to install Cedega using the tgz file???? I'm brand new to linux, I just wiped out my XP machine and went full Ubuntu. | 15:27 |
| snek | Jack_Sparrow: yeah i've noticed the op's here are quite touchy on things like that.. been trying to better myself but it's hard to keep in mind some people are really, really new to this.. i still consider myself a noob ;) | 15:27 |
| BenHoltz | I need someone to help me find a Graphical network tool that will help me map my network in a visio type diagram? I have tried many already, either they dont work or i cant get them to work | 15:27 |

| snek | lenswipe: you want icons to your mounted drives on your desktop? | 15:29 |
| === etoipi is now known as etotheipi | ||
| lenswipe | snek: yes! | 15:29 |
| ikonia | lenswipe: there are no file systems mounted on the desktop - do you mean the iconss/ | 15:29 |
| Ysangkok | thiebaude you could put it in your startup scripts | 15:29 |
| lenswipe | snek: thats exactly it :D | 15:29 |
| ikonia | lenswipe: that happens automaticlly whena disk is mounted | 15:29 |
| thiebaude | Ysangkok: what folder is that? | 15:29 |
| lenswipe | ikonia: i want my linux file system to apear on the desktop | 15:29 |
| ikonia | thiebaude: just looking in gconf now for the folders | 15:29 |

| Lartza_ | installing wordpress from repository is bad why it is on the documaentation? | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | ikonia: thanks | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | np | 15:30 |
| ikonia | lenswipe: I've sen the screenshot you've posted it 3 times, that should happen when a file system gets mounted automaitclly | 15:30 |
| ikonia | automaticlly | 15:30 |
| Ysangkok | thiebaude: /etc/modules is a list of modules to load at startup | 15:30 |
| ikonia | thiebaude just stuck a floppy in my 8.04 box and it put the icon on the desktop and auto mounted it fine | 15:30 |
| lenswipe | ikonia: yes, but i want my ubuntu partition to mount like that, its not doing O_o | 15:30 |
| Ysangkok | thiebaude: /etc/rc.local is a script which is run at startup | 15:30 |
| ikonia | lenswipe thats a gconf setting for showing icons | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | ikonia: seems like 8.10 has a problem with that | 15:31 |

| thiebaude | 8.04 is no problem with the icon | 15:31 |
| lenswipe | ikonia: yes, its checked, and my ubnutu drive still doesnt show up :( | 15:31 |
| snek | lenswipe: it's not showing you the "Computer" icon? | 15:31 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; i m the owner.... and some files have permission dr-xrwx and other have dr-x | 15:31 |
| Slart | lenswipe: gconf-editor, go to Apps, Nautilus, Desktop.. there are some checkboxes you can try.. I think it takes effect immmediately | 15:31 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, hey i made it... we were missing a small point :) in the menu.lst it said that root (hd1,7) whereas it should have been root (hd1,6) :) i edited it ...thanks for your endless support... without it nothing would have been possible | 15:31 |
| lenswipe | snek: no, i want my ubuntu partition on the desktop | 15:31 |
| lenswipe | snek: it doesnt work thru gconf, cos ive tried it :D | 15:31 |

| lenswipe | Slart: the checkboxes dont work | 15:32 |
| erry | i tried puting the address in nautilus but it didnt bother asking for username or pass so it said i dint have permission to access the folder | 15:32 |
| snek | lenswipe: so you want your root (/) partition to show up like that? i am not sure if that's possible.. | 15:32 |
| Slart | lenswipe: ok.. it doesn't show the root filesystem.. only other drives.. or that doesn't work for you either? | 15:32 |
| genii | hogar: You want to make 8.10 cd but use now 5.04 and no program to make the cd ? | 15:32 |
| lenswipe | no other drives work | 15:32 |
| Slart | lenswipe: you're not running gconf-editor as root, are you? | 15:32 |
| endo602 | if i mount smb and the folder is more memory then on the machine will it work? | 15:33 |
| lenswipe | its just the root filesystem that wont show on the desktop | 15:33 |
| erry | Help | 15:33 |
| hogar | I need a basic data recorder | 15:33 |
| Slart | lenswipe: I'm guessing that falls in the category "works as intended".. | 15:33 |
| lenswipe | Slart: all the checkboxes work, they just dont do what i need to do :) they are for mounting USB keys and things on the HDD, i want my root filesystem on the HDD | 15:33 |

| korcan | I had this issue in the past and don't remember how I fixed it... I think it was something with acpi | 15:51 |

| BeerSerc | Hi there. I want to make the Desktop not-usable for storing files. ideally, the Desktop folder would totally vanish from /home/username. how would I do that? | 15:52 |
| ikonia | BeerSerc hiding it is hard, just make it read only | 15:52 |
| digitalvaldosta | well that's only single user mode. Will I still be able to load X by typing startx and the other users be able to do their thing as usual or will i have to restart and do the other option? | 15:52 |
| ty | you want to make your home folder your desktop? | 15:52 |

| ty | kill nautilus | 15:54 |
| BeerSerc | ? | 15:54 |
| ty | but you wont be able to open any folders | 15:54 |
| livingdaylight | can someone tell me how i i access Linux from an xp machine? I installed Samba on Ubuntu | 15:54 |
| truebosko | snek: No, how do I do this? Actually, I think i downloaded the LiveCD, which just boots into the OS off the CD. Can I check it from there? | 15:54 |
| ikonia | BeerSerc: read only is the best your going to get I think | 15:54 |
| alarond | help pls. there's no sound at all on ubuntu. how do i re-install the codecs. google isn't throwing up anything helpful. | 15:54 |
| truebosko | my HD is being recognized and can be partitioned so I'm not sure that it has an issue | 15:54 |
| DrOni | livingdaylight: if you configured samba correctly your Ubuntu machine will show up in Windows 'network places' | 15:54 |
| snek | truebosko: i think even the LiveCD has a little start menu.. it should be in there | 15:55 |
| DrOni | alarond: are you sure it's a codec issue? | 15:55 |
| livingdaylight | DrOni: automatically? that means i havent' set it up properly it seems | 15:55 |
| BeerSerc | ikonia: hm, OK | 15:55 |
| usamahashimi | How can I determine the maximum download speed of my internet connection (DSL)? | 15:55 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; wen i run the command...i get the output as its a directory..and so it doesn't delete it | 15:55 |
| snek | truebosko: the menu where you choose to boot the livecd, or install to harddrive.. there should be a 3rd option to scan the cd for defects | 15:55 |
| truebosko | snek: thanks, Im checking it out now | 15:55 |
| DrOni | livingdaylight: samba config is rarely setup correctly from install - I'll find you a how to link | 15:55 |
| alarond | DrOni: well i tried everything else. but still no sound. any suggestions? | 15:55 |
| ikonia | BeerSerc: you could do things like rebuild gnome to look at .Desktop int eh home dir that would hide it, but the work level for that is stilling | 15:55 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: rm -rf | 15:55 |
| Windstone | ---> hey, im new to this and tried to download thems - what i did was drag the downloaded content to mt theme window but it didnt work - can someone explain to me how to download and install a theme? | 15:56 |
| DrOni | alarond: is it possible you're using the wrong drivers? I need more details on what you've tried before I can determine what it isn't :/ | 15:56 |
| livingdaylight | DrOni: i'd be grateful... most how-to's were outdated and didn't apply exactly to 8.10 | 15:56 |
| ty | yes | 15:56 |
| berriop | How can I set swfdec in firefox?? | 15:56 |
| ty | Windstone, i know how | 15:56 |

| DarkKnight | ikonia; okk got deleted...thanxx...for the command sudo chmod -R 757 will this work on directories as well | 15:57 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight yup | 15:57 |
| BeerSerc | ikonia: yes it seems I have to live with the readonly thing... as long as my users dont store anything on the desktop, I am happy ... | 15:57 |
| DrOni | livingdaylight: yeah, the constant update cycle of Ubuntu can be like that - but the samba configs are but try this link : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 15:57 |
| ty | !tell arun_ about debian | 15:57 |

| ikonia | BeerSerc best your going to get without major efforts I'm afraid | 15:57 |
| genii | !info swfdec-mozilla | berriop | 15:58 |
| ikonia | BeerSerc: (in my opinion) | 15:58 |
| ubottu | swfdec-mozilla (source: swfdec-mozilla): Mozilla plugin for SWF files (Macromedia Flash). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 44 kB, installed size 296 kB | 15:58 |
| berriop | i have swfdec already installed | 15:58 |
| BeerSerc | ikonia: OK thanks for your help | 15:58 |
| alarond | DrOni: thanks. i got around the problem. the headphone vol was muted. and off i went re-installing codecs. :( | 15:58 |
| usamahashimi | How can I determine the maximum download speed of my internet connection (DSL)? | 15:58 |
| alarond | DrOni: thanks all the same. :) | 15:58 |
| DrOni | alarond: yeah, sounds like the typical kind of thing I do! | 15:58 |
| snek | alarond: hehe i hate it when that happens, do it sometimes too :) | 15:59 |
| DrOni | alarond: glad to be of any help :) | 15:59 |
| ty | oh, does any1 know what "install with driver update cd" does? on ubuntu install? | 15:59 |

| alarond | snek: lol | 16:00 |
| reqqit | berriop, install Firefox 2.0 | 16:00 |
| ty | reinstall firefox | 16:00 |
| arun_ | have anyone heard of bharat operating systems solutions? | 16:00 |
| DrOni | alarond: flash videos via a browser? | 16:00 |
| reqqit | firefox 3.0 is to blame, worst release of $50m a year funded software EVER | 16:00 |
| reqqit | seriously, we should all ask for our google money back | 16:00 |
| truebosko | snek: so hmm, it said "found a defect in 1 file!" and then told me to reboot. Is there somewhere I can actually see what the error is? | 16:00 |
| reqqit | I changed my search engine on firefox to yahoo as a protest, why should google pay them so much money, yeah, they get market share with FF2.0, then release FF3.0, biggest piece of crap ever. on top of that, google have to build chrome to fix things | 16:01 |
| berriop | reqqit: but swfdec may works better, how can i change it??? | 16:01 |
| reqqit | aaand the idiots at firefox moan about it | 16:01 |
| outboard | Opera browser FTW | 16:02 |
| DrOni | I am a big fan of Opera, I can't wait for Chrome to come to Linux though | 16:02 |
| peepsalot | i have a messed up entry in my network manager for wired connections, and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. when I plug in an ethernet cable, it tries to use a connection called "ifupdown (usbo0)" which doesn't work. I added another Wired connection in the settings which works ok, but it always defaults to the wrong one | 16:02 |
| reqqit | berriop, I've given up, firefox routinely freezes and crashes, I just use opera for googling, firefox for redditing, and use flashblock | 16:02 |

| MidnightDevil | i have no sound on my 8.10 system :s what can i do? | 16:03 |
| outboard | ok sorry | 16:03 |
| berriop | reqqit: so with opera this flash problem doesnt happend??? | 16:03 |
| reqqit | bazhang, 80% of what you do on ubuntu is browser based, he has a problem with his, advising him to use opera and flashblock | 16:03 |
| alarond | DrOni: yes. metacafe on mozilla | 16:03 |
| peepsalot | when I try to delete the network connection, it says "Removing connection failed: ifupdown - connection delete not supported (read-only).." | 16:03 |
| reqqit | berriop, yeah, never had opera die on me once | 16:03 |
| Baba_B00ie | firefox is hung up in gnome. how do i get it's process id so i can kill it from CLI | 16:03 |
| berriop | reqquit: or with epiphany?? | 16:03 |
| DrOni | alarond: have you tried another browser? | 16:03 |
| MidnightDevil | Baba_B00ie, ps -u username | grep firefox | 16:03 |
| alarond | DrOni: no. i'm trying it now. | 16:04 |
| Baba_B00ie | ty | 16:04 |
| ty | yes? | 16:04 |
| peepsalot | Baba_B00ie, i think "killall firefox" should also work | 16:04 |
| spirosvii | dfb | 16:04 |
| Baba_B00ie | MidnightDevil, ps -u and kill with the id worked the best | 16:05 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; hey thanx....got solved | 16:05 |
| livingdaylight | DrOni: that samba link is from 2005 | 16:05 |
| MidnightDevil | good to know :) | 16:05 |

| Ohmu | All, I had got a WAP up and running using wicd (ibex host, xp guest). but its glitching. its just disconnected, and emptied out the boxes for manual ip etc. (i filled them in from doing ifconfig wlan0) but now that's not giving an ip. what's going on? can i just choose whatever values I want? ie choose my own gateway ip mask etc | 16:08 |
| DrOni | livingdaylight: alright, well once you have a user with permissions setup (sudo smbpasswd -L -a your_username; sudo smbpasswd -L -e your_username) you can just right click any folder that you wish to share | 16:08 |
| Ohmu | does wicd _define_ ip, gateway etc values for wlan0, or does it need to match the existing values that are in /etc/network/interfaces? | 16:09 |

| NoiseEee | I've managed to get a desired folder on my Ubuntu Server mapped to my WinXP box. However, some subfolders are appearing in the XP view that don't really exist on the Ubuntu box... they may very well be 'deleted' folders... named things like '1EYYTR~U' etc. | 16:20 |
| Odd-rationale | and-ri: in nautilus, go to edit --> preferences --> removable media... and uncheck the browse media when plugged check box. | 16:20 |
| NoiseEee | how can i not list those folders, or really 'delete' them. by the way, this folder is RSYNCd from another machine | 16:20 |
| metho | can 8.10 be discussed here? | 16:20 |

| hendrixski | hey, I'm trying to write a script to back up a bunch of stuff at once... and it requires that I be able to enter a password on a new line... within said script. Does anybody know how to do that? | 16:21 |
| metho | :) | 16:21 |
| hendrixski | for example "mysqldump dbname -u username -p" then somehow have the script automatically provide the password without prompting the user? | 16:21 |
| tyrchyus | sorry but my themes changed alone. is possible a qt4 problem? | 16:21 |
| Odd-rationale | hendrixski: like with sudo ? | 16:21 |
| bazhang | Promille, you mean bypass the update-notifier? | 16:21 |
| Promille | hey. is there any way installing the update which is avaiable automaticly? | 16:21 |

| Odd-rationale | hendrixski: add it to the sudoers file... | 16:22 |
| Promille | bazhang i mean so i dont forget to update everything, that it doesnt remind me that there is any avaible, just download and install them | 16:22 |
| Odd-rationale | metho: http://linuxcommand.org | 16:22 |
| hendrixski | Odd-rationale, well, I'm not using sudo in the script, it might be run automatically through a web-application, and I don't want to introduce bugs | 16:22 |
| ch3| | great.. | 16:23 |
| hendrixski | I just want to enter a password for a database within a script | 16:23 |
| bazhang | Promille, manually then? you can turn off update-notifier and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:23 |

| hendrixski | Odd-rationale, yeah, I was thinking of solving the wrong problem. Trying to get a script to take a prompt and enter a password, the better problem was just not having that prompt in the first place :-p | 16:27 |

| ericjung | I thought you said "tilting" :) | 16:35 |
| norbert79 | outboard: Not really... You might consider removing that specific hardware untill the install is finished | 16:35 |

| norbert79 | outboard: you might switch to the command line interface, and give the command dmesg, or start gnome-terminal using alt+f2, and do the same... | 16:46 |
| zanberdo | bazhang: irrsi is a cli client, right? And pidgin is of course an IM client, so I gather xchat would be the gui irc client, yes? | 16:46 |

| MrCollins | jburd, I have a Logitech webcam and I want to set it up so I can use it to video chat, but it does not work | 17:03 |

| johannes_ | hi, im using kubuntu 8.10 does one of you know a repository, I can use to install the new nvidia 180.08 driver? | 17:03 |
| alessandro | in channels? | 17:03 |
| MrCollins | jburd I am trying to troubleshoot /dev/video0 but I do not know what permissions to pass to it and etc etc...... | 17:03 |
| ericjung_ | Odd-rationale: gnome-nm-applet isn't the right command it seems | 17:03 |
| ericjung_ | Odd-rationale: I can start other apps in fluxbox with your suggestion but not gnome-nm-applet | 17:04 |
| jburd | MrCollins: Have you been able to capture video with this Webcam on Ubuntu before? | 17:04 |
| ericjung_ | Odd-rationale: indeed, ALT-F2 doesn't do anything in fluxbox either | 17:04 |
| DrOni | johannes: install 'Envy-NG', if it doesn't have the latest drivers just download them from the Nvidia site | 17:04 |
| Odd-rationale | ericjung_: maybe it was just nm-applet... | 17:04 |
| Odd-rationale | i forgot... | 17:04 |
| shiMMer | i type xsetroot on terminal n my desktop got probs | 17:04 |
| johannes_ | DrOni thx | 17:04 |
| shiMMer | how to fix?? | 17:04 |

| Odd-rationale | ericjung_: well, there is is fbrun... | 17:04 |
| ericjung_ | Odd-rationale: what is that? | 17:05 |
| MrCollins | jburd, yes the weird thing is, on the Ubuntu livecd, it works.... | 17:05 |

| jburd | @ MrCollins | 17:07 |

| DrOni | ash1: if your bluetooth adapter was detected and installed properly you'll find the options for it under the system settings menu | 17:09 |

| ericjung_ | Odd-rationale: I'll try fbrun and be right back | 17:09 |
| ash1 | DrOni: looks like the adapter wasn't detected | 17:09 |
| bazhang | bug2000, not likely from the ubuntu perspective, not sure about windows though; you can check launchpad to see if there are any such bugs | 17:09 |
| znik | my xorg.conf is also not showing the input devices part | 17:09 |
| DrOni | ash1: well I can't help you then, sorry :( | 17:09 |

| metho | one question regarding bash! | 17:10 |
| ash1 | the only way to enable the driver is on the touch panel (QuickLaunch) of my notebook, and QuickLaunch itself isn't working properly :( | 17:10 |
| outboard | does that help ? | 17:11 |
| norbert79 | outboard: Sounds not good... Did you try to google this error already? | 17:11 |
| nw2190 | It was working fine but then I hooked my laptop up to another monitor the other day and ever since the resolution on my laptop is too low. | 17:11 |
| DrOni | johannes_: unfortunately not from EnvyNG, you'll have to check the Nvidia site and install it manually (instructions on how to do that are included in the tarball file) | 17:11 |
| metho | cant find .bash_script but $PATH exists and i even modified it as well... | 17:11 |
| lxuserNewbie | the capture voice too low even I set to 100% in recording tab, where can i get information about this, please? | 17:11 |
| metho | where is .bash_script?? | 17:11 |
| MrCollins | Can someone help me troubleshoot my webcam issue? I do not know where to begin or I would ask a direct question..... | 17:12 |
| jburd | MrCollins: Can you try checking whether you can capture any video with cheese? sudo aptitude install cheese | 17:12 |
| blip- | hi, for some reason i just logged onto my laptop and there is no sound. i maxed out alsamixer, kmix and restarted ALSA system as well as maxed out Amarok.... but no sound is coming out from the speakers or via headphones... i didn't do anything or install anything for the sound. | 17:12 |
| Odd-rationale | metho: ~/.bash_script does not exists by defualt... unless you crete it... | 17:12 |
| znik | i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ? | 17:12 |
| DrOni | ash1: that QuickLaunch panel might not have linux drivers at all - check the HP site for info on whether Linux is supported or not? | 17:12 |
| Odd-rationale | metho: perhaps you mean ~/.bash_profile? or ~/.bashrc? | 17:12 |
| MrCollins | jburd ill check but I think I tried cheese already | 17:12 |
| johannes_ | DrOni I heard about conflicts, installing a driver via repo after having installed a driver manually, is that correct/ possible? | 17:12 |
| metho | Odd_rationale: yes, i meant .bash_profile | 17:13 |
| znik | i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ? | 17:13 |
| ash1 | DrOni: yeah i'm checking that one out.. | 17:13 |
| metho | Odd_rationale: you know where i can find .bash_profile? | 17:13 |
| Odd-rationale | metho: it should be in ~/ | 17:13 |
| DrOni | johannes_: due to the size and complexities of graphical drivers they aren't included in repos - but there will be conflicts if you install one over the other by ANY means | 17:13 |
| MrCollins | cheese doesnt work | 17:13 |
| ericjung__ | Odd-rationale: i love you | 17:14 |

| furythor | here is paste of my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/80411/ | 17:14 |

| shiMMer | how to set conky run at startup on fluxbox?? | 17:14 |

| ericjung__ | Odd-rationale: thanks for all the help | 17:14 |
| Odd-rationale | shiMMer: add conky & to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file | 17:15 |
| lxuserNewbie | capture voice too low even I set to 100% in recording tab, where can i get information about this, please? | 17:15 |
| Odd-rationale | ericjung__: np :P | 17:15 |
| ericjung__ | Odd-rationale: what does conky do? | 17:15 |
| norbert79 | outboard: Ok, as I have no generic advice, try to turn off acpi at start, before you load up the installer.. Set "acpi=off" at GRUB | 17:15 |
| znik | pottsi lets put up a plea together | 17:15 |
| znik | so that sumone helps us | 17:15 |

| shiMMer | owh..then how to set conky wun at startup? | 17:17 |
| DrOni | znik: basically your trackpad drivers didn't install | 17:17 |
| pottsi | znik: ill pm you if i do | 17:17 |
| Odd-rationale | shiMMer: add "conky &" to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file | 17:17 |
| DrOni | znik: do a google search specifically for your model and see if there are any linux drivers available for it? | 17:17 |
| znik | DrOni but the trackpad is moving but erratically | 17:17 |
| shiMMer | i try | 17:17 |

| norbert79 | bartek: Other way would be on checking the hard drive's analytical reports on S.M.A.R.T. You can install the smart analysing packages under the live CD too by installing smartmontools. apt-get install smartmontools | 17:23 |

| [e]Lement | Just install the checksum tool | 17:24 |

| [e]Lement | You can get it from MS's website | 17:24 |

| znik | pottsi append this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/80416/ | 17:24 |
| bartek | alright | 17:24 |
| Pici | bartek: You can do it from Windows or by using the Check CD for Defects option on the LiveCD. | 17:24 |

| zamba | i only ask here because there's probably some linux savvy users here | 17:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zamba exactly my point.. | 17:56 |
| norbert79 | zamba: does that specific application have this file inside the directory? | 17:56 |
| zamba | so in that sense it's not really ubuntu related.. :p | 17:56 |
| zamba | norbert79: yeah | 17:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | zamba what program are you trying to run and what is the output of lsb_release -a | 17:56 |
| norbert79 | zamba: Look for a shell scripted file... I think you have a file for making that application run | 17:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zamba I say this as we dont use the debian repos, we use ours. So please post lsb_release -a and your sources list | 17:57 |

| norbert79 | tonyyarusso: Finding out PID numbers is much reliable | 18:15 |
| ompaul | DBO, I just did :) | 18:15 |

And I also get emails from ***SECURITY*** in my spool mailbox saying "Cannot resolve dg". "ping dg" says "unknown host dg" too. What the heck? | 18:16 |

| steveccc | hi all - i am learning to use truecrypt which seems to take ages to create a 10gb encrypted file container on ubuntu 8.04 on a p4 2ghz but on a mac with ubuntu 8.10 used under a virtual machine its very quick - do you think this is due to the dual cores on the mac or could a later version of ubuntu be more efficient? | 18:20 |
| [c0re] | ded_, all of them are 10 mb? | 18:20 |
| FreshPrince | Adler aha, komisch, soll ich dir ne mail schicken? | 18:20 |

| norbert79 | !kvm | 18:27 |
| ubottu | kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 18:28 |

| norbert79 | MadChopr: There are companies who use KVM for their virtualizations | 18:29 |
| jrib | MadChopr: i would, yeah | 18:29 |
| norbert79 | MadChopr: KVM is more like the bridge between the real hardware, and the emulated one... You still need an application, like qemu | 18:30 |
| Bertan | tonyyarusso Where do I find this gconf file? | 18:30 |

| [c0re] | jrib, lamme check | 18:44 |
| norbert79 | shiMMer: You can also turn off / on the wifi using Fn+F1 | 18:45 |

Can anyone help me install this theme? | 19:05 |
| LjL | well, i could reverse the question - why *not* use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel, which is there for exactly that purpose? | 19:05 |
| LjL | anyway, here's a question | 19:05 |
| evanotten | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Overglossed?content=74813 | 19:05 |
| norbert79 | LjL: Which you want to also help to solve, right? :) | 19:05 |
| LjL | evanotten: "an error" isn't very useful | 19:05 |
| D-MAN | anyone know how to get guild wars to work on wine? | 19:06 |
| norbert79 | evanotten: Be more specific about the type of the error | 19:06 |
| evanotten | i dont recall the specific error once trying to repeat it now says command not found | 19:06 |
| norbert79 | !wine | D-MAN | 19:06 |
| ubottu | D-MAN: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 19:06 |
| LjL | evanotten: it can't find the command "cp"? that would be most awkward. | 19:06 |
| peleg | If I kill X, will I lose all of the data I have open now? Will it close my terminal with screen there, or will it just restart X and keep any other process (such as the terminal) running? | 19:07 |
| norbert79 | peleg: If you have started your terminal, or application in X, you will loose X when you shut it down | 19:07 |
| Hikefu | You will lose open windows/data | 19:07 |
| Gnome_ | hi | 19:07 |
| evanotten | i am just copying the instructions shown on the page would there be a correction that needs to be made | 19:07 |
| norbert79 | peleg: Save your unsaved changes, and then kill X, otherwise you might lose data | 19:08 |
| peleg | norbert79, Hikefu, thanks. What else can I do? Currently X takes 1333M of virtual memory with no apparent reason; I'd like to clean that somehow | 19:08 |
| korcan | when I set a static IP I can no longer ping any public ip, however I can ping local ip's (192.168.x.x) | 19:08 |
| norbert79 | peleg: I see... Where do you see this information? | 19:08 |
| peleg | norbert79, htop | 19:08 |
| norbert79 | korcan: You might also set your DNS ip adresses in /etc/resolv.conf | 19:09 |
| korcan | I am pinging 4.2.2.2, dns is not the issue | 19:09 |
| peleg | VIRT 1333M, RES 256M, SHR 11,380 | 19:09 |
| korcan | any ideas? | 19:09 |
| oskar- | korcan: maybe the default route? | 19:09 |
| norbert79 | korcan: I have already told you a hint | 19:09 |
| korcan | oskar-, how do I set it? | 19:09 |
| galaga | when i connect to my isp, ubuntu adds some routes i have to delete in order to have internet. what is the recommended way to make the changes permanent? | 19:10 |
| oskar- | korcan: for example: route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 19:10 |
| galaga | i have to *delete* routes | 19:10 |
| [c0re] | !sftp | 19:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp | 19:10 |
| galaga | script in rc.local? | 19:10 |
| LjL | evanotten: no. type "sudo cp --help", does that give an erro? | 19:10 |
| norbert79 | galaga: go to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf ... You should check the documenation to this application in /usr/share/doc/dhcp3 | 19:10 |
| korcan | oskar-, thanks you are a genius :-D | 19:11 |
| norbert79 | galaga: If you use DHCP of course | 19:11 |
| galaga | norbert79: i have a static ip | 19:11 |
| evanotten | yes cp missing destination file operand after 'help' | 19:11 |

| EdwardIII | hey | 19:12 |
| Spark_Plug | any one can tel me from where i can learn ethical hacking by using ubuntu | 19:12 |
| oskar- | korcan: hehe, no ;) i don't know how you configure ip statically, but setting the route manually isn't a good solution, of course. the used mechanism's documentation will tell you... | 19:12 |
| norbert79 | Spark_Plug: Doubt it... Look for any channel about security. This is a support channel. | 19:12 |
| EdwardIII | i'm trying to run dpkg -r php5-sqlite3, but it's telling me only the config files are left and i need to run --purge. but when i try --purge dpkg acts like i've got an invalid syntax? | 19:12 |
| tankpunk | hi all | 19:12 |
| evanotten | when entered with quotes it says help command not found | 19:12 |
| galaga | norbert79: sorry, perhaps i should have mention it first. it's an ubuntu server. should i ask in the relevant chan? | 19:13 |
| roy_hobbs | Hey guys. I've got two problems with OpenOffice.org. 1) I added to launchpad repo so that it would upgrade to OOo3, but nothing is happening. 2) The dictionary doesn't seem to be working | 19:13 |
| Spark_Plug | norbert79: i m also looking for support | 19:13 |
| EdwardIII | ah i see, you just need --purge on it's own, not -r | 19:13 |
| norbert79 | Spark_Plug: But hacking is not a topic of this channel... | 19:13 |

| chfwiggum | evanotten: always leave " " but don't leave ' ' | 19:14 |

| tchough | does anybody know the preferred way to start/restart networkmanager? i know there's no init script for it... is there something else? | 19:21 |
| Gnome_ | not sure | 19:22 |
| steyt | tchough: I usually sudo killall NetworkManager but I'm sure that's not the preferred way... | 19:22 |
| tchough | steyt: yeah, that's what i did to kill it, but i'm just not sure how to get it running again :) | 19:22 |
| whyameye | I can't get a single video encoder to work with ffmpeg ubuntu 8.10 32 bit | 19:22 |
| steyt | oh, just sudo NetworkManager | 19:22 |
| Dabbu | no help ? | 19:23 |
| steyt | (I think, it's been a while) | 19:23 |
| whyameye | the same video encoders DO work on 8.04 64 bit. | 19:23 |
| whyameye | what am I missing? | 19:23 |
| tchough | steyt: that did it, thanks! | 19:23 |
| evanotten | the theme isnt showing up in theme manager even with me extracting to desktop as instructed and running that command line without error | 19:23 |
| klaxian | where does the trash applet get it's info from? it shows 29 files in the trash, but none show when I click it. They are not hidden. Any ideas? | 19:24 |
| evanotten | i really apologize i am just learning and am nub | 19:24 |
| mkquist | tchough: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 19:24 |
| oskar- | !trash | klaxian | 19:24 |
| ubottu | klaxian: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 19:24 |
| frostburn | has the package libsmi2 been removed for 8.10? | 19:24 |
| chfwiggum | evanotten: ur welcome, just take it slow | 19:24 |

| deadvirus | hello, when I try to update hardy to intrepid it shows something like "This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardware in Ubuntu 8.10." | 19:25 |
| deadvirus | should I update? | 19:25 |
| oskar- | klaxian: is .local/share/Trash/info also empty, and the old trash folder? afaik, you can safely delete them, as they should be recreated when used | 19:26 |
| bobbob1016 | My new Ubuntu install isn't detecting my nic, how could I manually find it? | 19:26 |

| oskar- | klaxian: another idea: look for trash folders on other partitions/drives... | 19:28 |
| Dabbu | after installing kde desktop in ubuntu it has changed look of vlc,opera and other ...h how can i back to gnome style ? | 19:28 |
| klaxian | oskar-: after deleting the Trash directory, it got recreated as you said, but the applet still reports 29 files | 19:29 |
| KiberGluk | hi people's | 19:29 |
| andymd | D-MAN_, you should install the program in wine and run it later | 19:29 |
| klaxian | oskar-: i don't have anything else mounted except the temp and system stuff | 19:29 |

| bartek | norbert79: So my install stalled again at 59% on a different hard drive. Maybe I am burning the CD with some incorrect options? Maybe LG Dvd/burners have issues with Ubuntu? There's no way it can be two bad HD's (the one I just tried had a perfectrly fine XP install running on it) | 19:31 |
| klaxian | oskar-: i found the problem. apparently the trash applet had that number stuck in memory or something | 19:31 |
| klaxian | oskar-: removing and re-adding the applet fixed it | 19:31 |
| klaxian | oskar-: thanks for the help :) | 19:31 |
| norbert79 | bartek: I am starting to think, that you have an issue with your CD burner then... ok, try to burn the image at 8x, turn on the "verify" option | 19:32 |
| oskar- | klaxian: that would have been the next: killall trashapplet ;-) | 19:32 |
| deadvirus | can I have 3D aceleration in Intrepid with an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600? | 19:32 |

| norbert79 | StevenD57, starhawk : Try this as a boot option for the LiveCD: all_generic_ide | 20:15 |
| norbert79 | bartek: Good thinking | 20:15 |
| hendrixski | siva_, also, I think it says NTFS (which is Windows filesystem) and Ext3 (which is one of Linux's many filesystems, that Ubuntu uses as default) | 20:15 |
| StevenD57 | so do "F6" for options and enter that all_generic_ide on the command line there? | 20:15 |

| Ricket | for ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, java plugin... i read online that all i need to do is install ubuntu-restricted-extras. but i also read that this installs flash, and i already downloaded abobe's official flash 10 64-bit alpha and copied it into the firefox plugins folder. will it overwrite this flash plugin? should i be concerned or just re-copy the abobe one on top of it? | 20:50 |

| === robertcarpenter is now known as robacarp | ||
| fosco_ | bakarat_: yes | 20:51 |
| dutch | gnutron: okay so the table of ATI cards only goes up to X1300, does that mean nothing else after that is supported, or just not documented? | 20:51 |
| mohbana | if i install via jreu11 via update-alternatives --config java does the webplugin get installed as well | 20:51 |
| gnutron | bakarat_: i don't use it and java/flash etc work fine under x86_64 | 20:51 |
| kattollikisd | Flannel, If I convert it... I will see the same table, backgrounds, picture, letter etc? | 20:51 |
| mphill | Ricket: did you install it into your home directory .mozilla folder? | 20:52 |
| gnutron | dutch: possibly just not documented. | 20:52 |
| Ricket | mphill: no, i copied it into /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins | 20:52 |
| gnutron | dutch: try googling it | 20:52 |
| mphill | Ricket: you can always removed the flash-nonfree at any time as well | 20:52 |
| Flannel | kattollikisd: I have no idea. You might try the openoffice channel | 20:52 |
| mphill | Ricket: that will be over written, follow the install instructions on the website that specify your ~/.mozilla/plugins as the plugin target for the install | 20:53 |
| dutch | gnutron: yeah i tried that, search results are pretty messy. thanks for the help though | 20:53 |
| atilla | is anybody having problem with b43-fwcutter. I have installed 8.04 yesterday and wifi driver was already installed in restricted drivers manager but not usable. and I still can't get any scan results | 20:53 |

| ravn | hi guys, anyone has experience problems with sound after hibernation or suspension on their laptops? I have this problem on the new 8.10. After sleep there is no sound, and I have to reboot to get it back. Rythmbox refuse to start play anything while VLC plays but w.o. any sound...? | 20:54 |
| Ricket | actually i just noticed, all the ubuntu-restricted-extras does is depend on icedtea6-plugin for java... so maybe i'll just install that | 20:54 |
| subpar | when I play avi movies, the screen flashes. It happens only to a lesser extent when I turn all visual effects off. any ideas? | 20:55 |
| Flannel | kattollikisd: #openoffice.org I believe | 20:55 |

| molgrum | so after i updated to ubuntu 8.10 i started getting "cracking" sound and other annoying sound issues and i suspect that pulseaudio is the crook here. i have a sound blaster live (value), what should i do? | 21:24 |
| ryuho-eeepc | how do you manually start scim input systray? | 21:24 |
| Flannel | Agiofws: lsb_release -a will tell you | 21:24 |
| Flannel | Agiofws: also, if this is a liveCD, why does your sources.list look so odd? | 21:24 |
| Agiofws | 7.04 Flannel | 21:24 |
| Agiofws | is there any change to get ntfs-3g on this live system ? | 21:25 |
| Flannel | Agiofws: right. You should download a 8.04.1 liveCD and use that instead. | 21:25 |
| Agiofws | chance ? | 21:25 |
| Agiofws | no thank you that will take untill tommorow to download | 21:25 |
| kieko | i wonderd if someone can help me with Samba? I set Samba up and i can now read ubntu files from my xp-laptop and in ubuntu i can 'see' the xp-laptop but when i go into folder like MyVideo they are empty??? the Question is why? anyone? | 21:25 |
| cobra-the-joker | agiofws , is the server version lighter than desktop version ? | 21:25 |
| NoiseEee | or a 8.10 live CD, if it exists... iirc, ntfs 3g is out-of-the-box on 8.10 | 21:25 |
| Agiofws | cobra-the-joker, MUCH lighter | 21:25 |
| NoiseEee | cobra-the-joker, server has no GUI | 21:26 |
| Agiofws | gr | 21:26 |
| Agiofws | ok ok | 21:26 |
| cobra-the-joker | lol | 21:26 |
| racquad | Hi guys. I'm with trouble with alsa. all I hear is static. but with oss it works all right | 21:26 |
| racquad | any idea? | 21:26 |
| Flannel | Agiofws: Lets try doing this in the meantime... | 21:26 |
| jlc | cobra-the-joker: you could also try xubuntu or cruchbang is built with openbox | 21:26 |
| Agiofws | ok still here | 21:26 |
| Ricket | racquad: make sure it's not muted... i heard static when i muted my speakers | 21:26 |
| Agiofws | use 7.10 repos ? | 21:26 |
| cobra-the-joker | has no gui ???.....i am going to put it on my little bro's comp ...he will kill me if no GUI:D | 21:26 |
| racquad | Ricket: it's not muted, ricket. | 21:27 |
| jlc | cobra-the-joker: you could also try xubuntu or cruchbang is built with openbox | 21:27 |
| Agiofws | cobra-the-joker, build the GIU from there an up | 21:27 |
| sako | Ubuntu is so awesome, I just replaced my debian web server... | 21:27 |
| Agiofws | install xfce ? | 21:27 |
| jlc | crunchbang would probably run nice | 21:27 |
| Agiofws | Flannel, listeing ... | 21:27 |
| cobra-the-joker | crushbang ...with lxde ? | 21:27 |
| siva_ | hrm... what is the default admin password? | 21:27 |
| siva_ | su | 21:27 |
| racquad | <Ricket> if it was muted, I shouldn't hear anything under oss also. but under OSS works fine! | 21:27 |
| jlc | http://crunchbang.org/ | 21:27 |
| jlc | openbox +gtk apps | 21:27 |
| Ricket | racquad: okay, well just a thought. i don't know enough to help you, sorry... i'm still trying to work out my own problems :) | 21:28 |

| Ricket | should i install firefox extensions via synaptic or through the firefox add-ons website? what are the advantages/disadvantages? | 21:28 |
| cousteau | cobra-the-joker: too limited, try xubuntu instead | 21:28 |
| Flannel | siva_: The root account is locked, use sudo instead. | 21:28 |
| jlc | cobra-the-joker: you could install the server version then install something like lxde too | 21:29 |
| siva_ | Flannel: How would I unlock it? | 21:29 |
| Flannel | siva_: Why do you want to? | 21:30 |
| siva_ | not sure | 21:30 |
| siva_ | hah | 21:30 |
| Flannel | siva_: Then theres no reason to. | 21:30 |
| meshe | siva_: sudo passwd | 21:30 |
| siva_ | let's say I want to do some hard core hacking... just a general question | 21:31 |
| NoiseEee | hard-core, as in porn? | 21:31 |
| meshe | better to do sudo -s or sudo su - | 21:31 |
| NoiseEee | or like NSA computers | 21:31 |
| siva_ | better then that! | 21:31 |
| coldhak | all the settings in the sound preferences are set to my usb headset, but I still don't get any sound from most programs, anybody have any ideas? | 21:31 |
| meshe | (the root account is not locked, it just doesn't have a password set) | 21:31 |
| Flannel | siva_: There's no reason to use the root account, even if youre doing "hardcore hacking" | 21:31 |
| Agiofws | Flannel, its doing SOMEthing ... | 21:31 |
| Flannel | siva_: you can use sudo for that | 21:31 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 21:32 |
| siva_ | thanks | 21:32 |

| Agiofws | Flannel, already done thank you | 21:34 |

| grendal_prime | I thought there was a way to add a cd as a repo, then it could use all the backages i have locally. | 21:47 |
| chamuscas | yes a little bit | 21:47 |
| ryuho-eeepc | chamuscas, graphical or text based | 21:47 |
| ali3nwar3 | how do i "stop" remembering my last used files? | 21:47 |
| chamuscas | anxiolytic, yes a little bit | 21:48 |
| anxiolytic | chamuscas: definitely read The C Programming Language if you haven't, but it's not required. Pick up "the Red Book" for OpenGL | 21:48 |
| chamuscas | ryuho-eeepc, both | 21:48 |
| riegersn | is there a good screenshot program that lets you crop and draw arrows and such, im looking for an app to help make screenshots for how to's | 21:48 |
| philjo | every line in C needs to end in a semicolon | 21:48 |
| ryuho-eeepc | anxiolytic, we don't wanna hear read the book ..... | 21:48 |
| anxiolytic | You can try to find SDL tutorials to make basic stuff.. side scrollers, puzzle games, etc. It's like DirectDraw (part of DirectX7, now gone) | 21:48 |
| chamuscas | anxiolytic, the Red Book you say? i should see that, tanks for the advise | 21:49 |
| anxiolytic | I've never been able to find any good docs on SQL | 21:49 |
| anxiolytic | SDL** | 21:49 |
| ryuho-eeepc | philjo, not includes or definnes | 21:49 |
| chamuscas | ryuho-eeepc, do you also have any advise ?? | 21:49 |

| sproingie | nehe is not all that great. google "opengl tutorial" | 21:50 |

| bullgard4 | I recorded an OGG audio stream using streamtuner. I can play it using Audacious. Why does Audacity not play likewise this file? "Audacity had to make a guess at the type of file. Tha Audio may be bogus. If the audio is bogus, try ranaming the file, so that it has the correct extension before opening it." But it is correctly set to 44,1 kHz. The file extension .ogg is correct too. Also the 'file' command prints correct data. (I have ... | 22:24 |
| bullgard4 | ... never used Audacity before.) | 22:24 |
| D-MAN_ | is there any way to set wine back to its original settings? | 22:24 |
| facefaceface | bullgard4: sucks | 22:24 |

| wiijii | Evening all, can someone give me a hand setting up networking in VirtualBox please? | 22:26 |
| Izinucs | radicalboy: xubuntu alternate installer | 22:26 |
| Izinucs | wiijii: might try #vbox | 22:26 |
| wiijii | Have done... pretty quiet over there. Cheers though | 22:26 |
| bullgard4 | Izinucs: It replies: "Error when importing". | 22:26 |
| radicalboy | Izinucs, i can't run desktop? | 22:26 |
| bdelin88 | could anyone take a look at my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/80533/ and tell me why my /dev/ mounts aren't auto mounting with RW privy's at reboot? Thank you!!!! | 22:27 |
| Izinucs | radicalboy: you might try the live cd to see if you can. the alternate install cd is not the server install.. it IS the desktop install,,, it just takes less resources to install with. | 22:27 |
| n2diy | I deleted all the files from my thumb drive, and now the system doesn't see it, when I plug it in,? | 22:28 |
| bdelin88 | could anyone take a look at my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/80533/ and tell me why my /dev/ mounts aren't auto mounting with RW privy's at reboot? Thank you!!!! | 22:28 |
| radicalboy | Izinucs alternate is not only text mode, like terminal? | 22:28 |
| Izinucs | radicalboy: alternate is a text mode install that will install the entire desktop system | 22:29 |
| ali3nwar3 | quentusrex: did you get my PM? | 22:29 |
| radicalboy | and what's the diference between alternate and desktop? | 22:29 |
| Izinucs | bullgard4: that's weird.. no idea.. have you check in the forums or on audacity's site? | 22:30 |
| Odd-rationale | !alternative | radicalboy | 22:30 |
| ubottu | radicalboy: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 22:30 |
| Izinucs | radicalboy: they both install the same thing.. the difference is desktop has a gui before installing. Desktop might not install if your resources are too low, ie memory etc. that's why I suggested the alternate install. | 22:31 |
| Izinucs | radicalboy: think of the alternate install cd as "An Alternate way of installing the Desktop system for Ubuntu" | 22:31 |
| bullgard4 | Izinucs: No, I am quite new to Audacity. | 22:31 |
| wiijii | Anyone have experience with VirtualBox then? I've set up a WinXP install which works networking-wise. Now I've installed Ubuntu-server but the networking doesn't work... | 22:31 |

| oskar- | wiijii: i have | 22:35 |
| bdelin88 | Izinucs: it took me forever to get grub off my hard disks a while back when i decided ubuntu wasn't for me (even though i have now drifted bacl) | 22:35 |
| wiijii | oskar: you got networking sorted with it? | 22:35 |
| Izinucs | bdelin88: yea until you use windows to "fixmbr" then grub is overwritten.. and you'll have to reinstall grub again.. the right way. | 22:35 |
| scientes | i assume all the big email carriers support ipv6 | 22:35 |
| bdelin88 | Izinucs: well that's why he's not supposed to run fixmbr | 22:35 |

| AndyB | wiijii, note that i have tried replacing "root" with "rootnoverify" | 22:38 |
| krel | is there a way to get krdc to full screen to a different monitor than the default in a multimonitor (twinview) setup? | 22:38 |
| jimmio | TuxSympathiser: freezes? | 22:38 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: you know it is the exact same process to replace a font in ubuntu as in windows? You just drop it into the fonts folder man... | 22:38 |
| TuxSympathiser | jimmio, ubuntu totally locks up | 22:38 |
| Izinucs | total_noob_lol: linux is a little different ... not hard .. just different.. after you get into it a while you'll understand why things are done in a certain way and understand the reasoning behind it. | 22:38 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: you just drop them into ".fonts" in your home directory and vuala | 22:38 |
| jeaton | what is a good app that turns mpeg4 and avi into dvd? | 22:38 |
| total_noob_lol | bdelin88 i droped fonts into usr/shared/fonts with nautilus and ubuntu still doesnt see those fonts | 22:39 |
| radicalboy | Izinucs doesn't exist any site with the requirements of version ubuntu? | 22:39 |
| XFCEntra1 | TuxSympathiser: can you recreate the situation that causes the freeze? for example, using flash in firefox or something similar | 22:39 |
| jimmio | TuxSympathiser: That's a first... just a sec | 22:39 |
| total_noob_lol | oh and i have no .fonts directory in home directory, even after i press ctrl + h | 22:39 |
| wiijii | AndyB: two secs... | 22:39 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: you need to put it in your home directory | 22:39 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: you just create one | 22:39 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: ".fonts" | 22:39 |
| total_noob_lol | in home there is only .fontconfig | 22:39 |
| total_noob_lol | no .fonts | 22:39 |
| Izinucs | radicalboy: not sure what you're saying.. | 22:39 |
| krel | to be clear: i'm using krdc to connect from a ubuntu 8.10 box to a winxp box through RDP, and I have a multimonitor setup through twinview, and setting it to fullscreen mode uses the wrong (smaller) monitor, and I want it to use my big monitor. | 22:40 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: make the directory ".fonts" and put your .TTF fonts in there | 22:40 |
| TuxSympathiser | XFCEtra1, yes and no, the exact cause is unknown which is why I need to somehow log what exactly it is which is going wrong | 22:40 |
| kieko | can someone tell me how i run GoGrinder.jar ? | 22:40 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: there is no directory cuz you haven't installed fonts before... | 22:40 |
| Izinucs | bdelin88: total_noob_lol after making the directory and putting your fonts there. you still have to sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig in terminal. | 22:40 |
| bdelin88 | SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WITH MY FSTAB | 22:40 |
| total_noob_lol | its not .ttf files, its .pcf | 22:41 |
| total_noob_lol | will it still work? | 22:41 |
| bdelin88 | Izinucs: i dunno, i just know it worked for me and I didn't have to configure a thing | 22:41 |
| wiijii | AndyB: looks exactly the same as mine... but I have '0' after savedefault | 22:41 |
| bdelin88 | total_noob_lol: not sure, i am new to this as well, just telling you what I did | 22:41 |
| ali3nwar3 | does anyone know how to turn off remember recent documents? | 22:41 |
| wiijii | AndyB: not sure if that will make any difference | 22:41 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: what's the problem? | 22:41 |
| Izinucs | bdelin88: total_noob_lol read the link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 22:41 |
| AndyB | wiijii, hmm let me check | 22:41 |
| wiijii | AndyB: And I assume it's the correct disk? I've messed that up a good few times | 22:41 |
| total_noob_lol | person who said that instaling fonts on linux is same like in windows is a liar | 22:41 |

| XFCEntra1 | TuxSympathiser: you could run "top" in the terminal, or the gui system monitor if you prefer. keep an eye on what processes are running and seem to hog resources. one of the tabs in system-monitor should give you a history of resource usage in a graph, provided you can "unfreeze" ubuntu to look at that data... | 22:42 |
| wiijii | oskar, I want to receive connections from the guest VM (a server running on my Ubuntu machine in a guest VM) | 22:42 |
| TuxSympathiser | XFCEtra1, tried that, I really don't think it is an application | 22:42 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: I have tried several different ways and it's probably syntax related why it's not working, but I need to get those ntfs dev's mounted | 22:42 |
| AndyB | wiijii, ive checked a few on the web and none of them have a 0. . .but none of them work, they are all topics about broken grubs:P so ill try add a 0 after and then ill just run the xp cd | 22:43 |

| bdelin88 | Demonizer: can you link the theme page, and why not get the GTK version, that's the native one for gnome | 22:43 |
| wiijii | AndyB, yes | 22:43 |
| Demonizer | bdelin88, hold on please, I'm going to give you the link. | 22:44 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: put a tab after each "ntfs" and make the space after each of the exec's to a comma | 22:44 |
| bdelin88 | Demonizer: send me a pm please so i can concentrate a little better lol, thnx | 22:44 |
| Demonizer | bdelin88, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=73972&forumpage=2 | 22:45 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: ok one sec, i will repaste it and see if that's right | 22:45 |

| wiijii | AndyB, any luck? | 22:46 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: it should look like this: /dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs auto,rw,user,exec,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0 | 22:47 |
| AndyB | wiijii, no change, when grub loads and i select windows it just says "Starting Up...Grub" and stays like that | 22:47 |
| TuxSympathiser | XFCEntra1, yes, but I haven't found anything from the time when the system froze | 22:47 |
| wiijii | AndyB, was it working previously? What happened to break it? | 22:47 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: alright I'll try that | 22:47 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: think of the separations as 'fields' | 22:47 |
| kneeki | If I wanted to navigate to a mounted network drive using a File Browser, where should I look? | 22:47 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: whitespace chars like space and tab separate fields. different fields have different meanings. commata separate arguments inside a field | 22:47 |
| gnutron | oskar-: well put. | 22:48 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: wouldn't "ntfs" be an argument? And why not "ntfs-3g" like gnutron has it? | 22:48 |
| badawi | where's the inittab file located in ubunt? | 22:48 |

| AndyB | wiijii, it was working fine, but i needed my external usb to be plugged in to boot anything, so i googled, and found if i ran "install-grub /dev/sda" (my internal drive) it would fix it, but now i cant get into windows which is on the internal | 22:49 |
| total_noob_lol | font instaling guide failed me | 22:49 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: ntfs-3g did the windows mounting, but ntfs is a filesystem argument. | 22:49 |

| total_noob_lol | how do i install new fonts | 22:49 |
| total_noob_lol | how do i install new fonts? | 22:50 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: ntfs-3g is a better file system driver for ntfs-partitions... i would choose it | 22:50 |
| wiijii | AndyB, have the disk names changed now that you have unplugged the USB drive? Are you sure XP should be booting from hd0,0? | 22:50 |
| XFCEntra1 | TuxSympathiser: perhaps its a hardware issue. aside from enabling/disabling services, try instead to check if any components are overheated or if the issue is with your RAM. is this a new problem? | 22:50 |
| total_noob_lol | how do i install .pcf fonts ? | 22:50 |
| kneeki | total_noob_lol: Try google yet? | 22:50 |

| oskar- | bdelin88: ok | 22:52 |
| AndyB | wiijii, i believe so, thats what i was attempting to do anyway, so that i could boot the internal without needing the usb plugged in, but now it wont load windows | 22:52 |
| Linuxnoob100 | is it safe to say that I have a bad live CD if it takes +30mins to configure linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server? | 22:52 |

| total_noob_lol | can anyone help me with installing .pcf fonts? | 22:53 |

| ActionParsnip | Linuxnoob100: you should md5 check the CD before installing | 22:54 |
| TuxSympathiser | XFCEntra1, there are no issues running 7.10 however there are with 8.04 and now 8.10 after recent updates | 22:54 |
| raidy | hola | 22:54 |
| meistergrado | so i have a question with sound, when i use alsa all i get is this crackling sound but when i use oss what i am supposed to hear, how do i change everything to use oss instead of alsa | 22:54 |
| jack-desktop | is there anyway to mass edit every file in a directory to change the spaces to periods? | 22:54 |
| Linuxnoob100 | ActionParsnip: I did it said it was fine | 22:54 |
| raidy | hola | 22:54 |
| raidy | a todos | 22:54 |
| byonix | total_noob_lol, i install ms windows fonts in intrepid by copying the fonts, place it in a folder at my home foder named .fonts (with dot in front of it) and it worked fine, no restart required, but if not you need to log out | 22:54 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: sure, use sed | 22:54 |
| XFCEntra1 | outoftime: for a real GNOME browser, try Epiphany as well. it is a GNOME app and versions for WebKit and Gecko should be available in the repositories | 22:54 |
| AndyB | wiijii, yes windows NTFS is on /dev/sda1 | 22:54 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: example? | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Linuxnoob100: then its not due to bad image | 22:55 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: if you meant to say file*names*, use 'rename' | 22:55 |
| outoftime | XFCEntra1: I just tried that, but glancing at it it does not appear to have a bookmark toolbar?? | 22:55 |
| filthpig | hey, do you guys know anything about when Songbird will be available in the hardy repos? If ever? | 22:55 |
| oskar- | Linuxnoob100: maybe you cdrom drive has a defect, press ctrl+alt+f2, enter "dmesg" and see, if the last line are about errors | 22:55 |
| meistergrado | so i have a question with sound, when i use alsa all i get is this crackling sound but when i use oss what i am supposed to hear, how do i change everything to use oss instead of alsa | 22:56 |

| n2diy | I deleted all the files from my thumb drive, and now the system doesn't see it, when I plug it in,? | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | oskar-: or you could check your hdd for errors | 22:56 |
| wiijii | AndyB , is /dev/sda1 bootable? | 22:56 |
| AndyB | wiijii yeah =[ | 22:56 |
| XFCEntra1 | outoftime: Epiphany offers bookmark management as well, but it does so a little differently than, say, Firefox. check out the FAQ on the Epiphany site: http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/FrequentlyAskedQuestions | 22:56 |

| jrib | jack-desktop: which did you mean? | 22:57 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: what about sed? | 22:57 |
| wiijii | AndyB maybe during installation you only set the external as bootable? | 22:57 |
| scientes | how do i "install by task" va command line? | 22:57 |
| wiijii | AndyB 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' | 22:57 |

| ActionParsnip | scientes: in what context? | 22:58 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: it didn't work and nautilus keeps randomly crashing, no desktop icons (when I try to click the sdb dev mounts to manually mount it says "Unable to mount the volume 'media') | 22:58 |
| meistergrado | so i have a question with sound, when i use alsa all i get is this crackling sound but when i use oss what i am supposed to hear, how do i change everything to use oss instead of alsa | 22:58 |

| bdelin88 | oskar-: what is the terminal command "nautilus killall" or something, that's what i need to do | 22:59 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: then use rename. see 'man rename' for examples. Ask me if you still have questions after reading that | 22:59 |
| wiijii | AndyB I'm not sure what the status will be with mounting your /boot partition if it was originally on the external drive | 22:59 |

| StevenD57 | hmmm, that's crummy ubuntu 8.04.1 does not see an intel 82540ep network chip | 23:00 |
| StevenD57 | in my IBM Thinkpad laptop | 23:00 |
| meistergrado | so i have a question with sound, when i use alsa all i get is this crackling sound but when i use oss what i am supposed to hear, how do i change everything to use oss instead of alsa | 23:00 |
| StevenD57 | there does not seem to be a module for it | 23:00 |
| AndyB | wiijii, its already flagged for boot | 23:00 |
| wiijii | AndyB sda1, yeah? | 23:00 |
| TuxSympathiser | XFCEtra1, tat's what I thought at first but it started doing it with the previous kernel after updating some packages ?? | 23:00 |
| AndyB | wiijii yeah | 23:01 |
| scientes | yeah how can i install mail-server "by task selector" like i can ubuntu-desktop?? | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | total_noob_lol: id say that was a fairly decent guide | 23:01 |
| wiijii | AndyB I'm reaching the limits of my knowledge here, but what partition is mounted as /boot? | 23:01 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: i sent you a pm to make it a little easier | 23:01 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: can you open a terminal and type "mount", to check, whether sda1 is mounted or not? if it is not mounted, can you then type "mount /dev/sda1"? | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | total_noob_lol: no need to extract if the file isnt compressed | 23:01 |
| Izinucs | ActionParsnip: I gave him that link earlier.. I think he's expecting linux to be like windows and not yet open to learning a new way. | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Izinucs: ok | 23:02 |
| bengi2008 | bonjour | 23:02 |
| wiijii | AndyB could be something to do with /boot being on the external drive? But then... Grub wouldn't work I suppose if the drive wasn't plugged in | 23:02 |
| wiijii | AndyB Damn... how annoying. Ummmm | 23:02 |
| bengi2008 | je viens de reinstaller ubuntu 8.04 | 23:02 |

| Izinucs | ActionParsnip: just FYI.. If he'll listen to you more than me.. go for it. | 23:02 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: the "mount /dev/sda1" with a "sudo" in front, of course... | 23:02 |

| bengi2008 | il me reaffiche le meme message disant qu'il faut installer le plugging | 23:04 |

| total_noob_lol | thanks ActionParsnip, it works finally | 23:04 |
| AndyB | wiijii, if its the boot order my internal hdd is first | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | total_noob_lol: simple websearching m'lad | 23:04 |
| gnutron | nite_johnboy: man command-name | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Izinucs: looks like me pasting the link is beter than you pasting it :( | 23:04 |

| bengi2008 | #ubuntu-fr | 23:05 |
| nite_johnboy | gnutron: thx being brain dead today - | 23:05 |
| Izinucs | ActionParsnip: just had to hammer it into him twice I guess.. | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | total_noob_lol: apparently Izinucs gave you the exact same link, oh welleh | 23:05 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: *I* don't want you to do anything. If you want to learn them, go for it | 23:05 |
| scientes | thx | 23:05 |
| n2diy | What is the command to mount a USB thumb drive? | 23:05 |
| Izinucs | ActionParsnip: remember me? Izinucs = Scunizi.. :) | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !mount | n2diy | 23:05 |
| ubottu | n2diy: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 23:05 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: rename uses perl expressions, which if you wanted me to do this by myself i'd need to also learn that. | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Izinucs: i remember few names | 23:06 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: right. Which you may want to do... | 23:06 |
| AndyB | wiijii, would running fixboot or fixmbr from windows cd do any damage? i really cant lose some of the stuff on the internal drive, its backed up but would still be a loss | 23:06 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: just maybe... | 23:06 |
| wiijii | AndyB I started a PM | 23:07 |
| StevenD57 | should ubuntu 8.04.1 be able to regognise an intel 82540EP gig-ethernet chip? | 23:07 |

| StevenD57 | from the live CD? | 23:07 |
| StevenD57 | ok | 23:07 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: can you tell me a perl expression that would change spaces into periods? | 23:08 |
| XFCEntra1 | scientes: that should let you do a "one-click" install of postfix and dovecot | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | StevenD57: i'm sure theres a module you can compile or an option to get it going | 23:08 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: escape the period as \. | 23:08 |
| n2diy | ActionParsnip: Thanks, but I don't think that is my problem, I have two thumb drives, one auto-mounts, and the other one doesn't. The one the doesn't recently had it's files moved to the trash. | 23:08 |
| scientes | XFCEntra1, is there any easy way to automatically set them up have them work together? | 23:08 |
| schone | hi all im trying to install java on my gutsy server but keep getting an error about broken packages , here is my output : http://www.mibbit.com/pb/UyHae0 | 23:08 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: use 'rename -n perlexpr' to test. That just tells you what it would do without doing it | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | n2diy: i dont use automount sorry | 23:08 |
| schone | why this occuring? and is there a fix | 23:09 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: i know about escape characters and other things, i however never learned perl. | 23:09 |
| StevenD57 | I looked around in the /lib/modules/ directories and I tried a couple of the modules I found there | 23:09 |
| StevenD57 | but none seemed to see the chip | 23:09 |
| Roland123 | any idea, how to get flash 10 working on a 64bit ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| Roland123 | i seem to have no sound | 23:10 |
| StevenD57 | d'load the flash-x86_64 module | 23:10 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: right. But the man page gives you a template. You don't need to know perl | 23:10 |
| StevenD57 | for Linux | 23:10 |
| [e]Lement | Roland123, you may have two conflicting flashes installed | 23:10 |
| StevenD57 | there is a Alpha/Beta available on Adobe site | 23:10 |
| [e]Lement | Make sure you only have flash10 installed, and nothing else | 23:10 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: the template shows how to remove ".bak" from the end, not how to replace spaces with periods. | 23:10 |
| schone | hi all im trying to install java on my gutsy server but keep getting an error about broken packages , here is my output : http://www.mibbit.com/pb/UyHae0 | 23:10 |

| schone | no | 23:11 |
| funkyHat | Roland123: go to about:plugins in firefox and check flash is only listed once | 23:11 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: ah, well it's: s/IN/OUT/g to replace IN with OUT | 23:11 |
| [e]Lement | Yeah, he beat me to it | 23:11 |
| ericjung | anyone know the name of the little volume control near the clock? | 23:11 |
| kool | do you know how to change the IMEI code | 23:11 |
| [e]Lement | schone, update to Hardy Heron? | 23:12 |
| Zaiden | Hi. When I try to resize my vista partition with the ubuntu installer, it stays at 0% done and won't continue. Is there another way I can resize my vista partition? I tried using the volume shrinker in Vista also but it won't let me shrink it for more than 128MB when I have 95GB free. | 23:12 |
| Linuxnoob100 | hey i hit ctrl+alt+f2 during the install of ubuntu server... how do i get back into the gui? | 23:12 |
| [e]Lement | schone, Hardy Heron is a LTS release so you'll have (now) 2.5 years of support | 23:12 |
| Roland123 | only other thing besides flash is futuresplash.. and i have no idea what that does | 23:12 |
| Zaiden | Linuxnoob100: I think it's alt+F7 | 23:12 |
| [e]Lement | Zaiden, make sure you defragment the partition first as you may lose some files. | 23:12 |
| Linuxnoob100 | nope :( | 23:13 |
| n2diy | Linuxnoob100: ctrl+alt+F6 | 23:13 |
| [e]Lement | [e]Lement, and are you using GParted? | 23:13 |
| schone | [e]Lement: so how do i upgrade from gutsy server to hardy server? | 23:13 |
| benzss | how do i find out what my motherboard is (without opening the case etc)? | 23:13 |
| [e]Lement | Linuxnoob, CTRL+ALT+F7 ? | 23:13 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: oh.. there is nothing on the man page about a "/g" or i would of been correct awhile ago | 23:13 |
| [e]Lement | schone, apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:13 |
| [e]Lement | I believe | 23:13 |
| gnutron | schone: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server | 23:13 |
| [e]Lement | gnutron, he's going from 7.10... | 23:13 |
| Zaiden | I'm using the part of the ubuntu live cd installer that lets you resize a partition. | 23:13 |
| gnutron | schone: it works | 23:13 |
| schone | gnutron: im on gutsy | 23:14 |
| jrib | jack-desktop: g for global. Without it, it means to just replace the first occurence | 23:14 |
| gnutron | [e]Lement: oh, missed that. thanks | 23:14 |
| jack-desktop | jrib: it would of helped if i knew perl expressions then! | 23:14 |
| [e]Lement | I would upgrade to Hardy Heron, as it is a LTS release | 23:14 |
| gnutron | schone: you need to upgrade in increments. | 23:14 |
| [e]Lement | gnutron, I thought dist-upgrade worked | 23:14 |
| schone | gnutron: what do you mean? I ran the apt-get dist-upgrade and its asking em to download something | 23:15 |
| hack | c'è qualcuno italianoooo | 23:15 |
| [e]Lement | schone, that should take care of it. I'm pretty sure it'll fix your issue. | 23:15 |
| [e]Lement | !it | hack | 23:15 |
| ubottu | hack: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 23:15 |
| schone | cool updating now | 23:15 |
| badawi | !vnc | 23:15 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 23:15 |
| gnutron | schone: i mean ubuntu insists you upgrade one version at a time, you cannot skip versions, regular dist-upgrades should do that | 23:16 |
| my_key | i have a problem with the ath5k driver not functioning after suspend/resume (itrepid with linux-modules-backports-generic package installed). Does anybody know how to fix this? | 23:16 |
| [e]Lement | But yeah, I would upgrade to 8.04 schone, as you will still have 2.5 years of support. | 23:17 |

| lenswipe | is gnomenu the same as the one button menu? | 23:21 |
| lenswipe | kina like a start menu? | 23:21 |
| geodome | schone: go to system | 23:21 |
| [e]Lement | geodome, server | 23:21 |
| geodome | oh | 23:21 |
| georgy_28 | schone, cat /etc/issue | 23:21 |
| gnutron | schone: lsb_release -a in a terminal should work. | 23:21 |
| [e]Lement | ^ that's it. I couldn't not remember. Lol | 23:21 |
| geodome | i just installed apache, php and mysql, but when i enter 127.0.0.1 on the browser, it reads "You don't have permission to access / on this server." | 23:22 |
| geodome | what to do? | 23:22 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: is gnomenu the one where you get one button? and all your things are under there like M$ | 23:22 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, should be | 23:22 |
| Izinucs | geodome: how did you install them.. through synaptic or from an outside source? | 23:23 |
| gnutron | geodome: try localhost instead | 23:23 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: im trying to install this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GnoMenu+-+consolidated+menu+for+gnome?content=93057 | 23:23 |
| [e]Lement | geodome, configure apache correctly. Haha. Just kidding mate. Have you ever used webmin? | 23:23 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: is that just a skin for the one button menu? | 23:23 |
| schone | [e]Lement: it still says on im on gutsy | 23:23 |
| schone | http://www.mibbit.com/pb/j9R0H9 | 23:23 |
| [e]Lement | schone, it takes awhile | 23:23 |
| Izinucs | !webmin | geodome [e]Lement | 23:23 |
| ubottu | geodome [e]Lement: 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. | 23:23 |
| carloz | hi all with last update i cant see the color of videos i see all blue | 23:23 |
| geodome | mmm | 23:23 |
| carloz | how i can fix it? | 23:23 |
| schone | it has finsihed downloading and installing | 23:23 |
| Zaiden | Is gparted a program you can install in ubuntu and use to resize the ubuntu partition its installed in? | 23:23 |
| geodome | i use rapache | 23:23 |
| geodome | but it is not doing the job | 23:24 |
| sweetgum1 | guys im trying to compile wine, can someone tell me what package is meant by Xlib/Xfree86 development packages | 23:24 |
| kitche | Zaiden: yes and no since the partition must not be mounted to be resized | 23:24 |
| [e]Lement | schone, this should work: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-server-from.html | 23:24 |
| === shark is now known as Guest89694 | ||
| sweetgum1 | i cant find anything liket hat in the package manager | 23:24 |
| carloz | someone can help me? | 23:24 |
| Izinucs | Zaiden: gparted is typically already installed .. check System>Admin>Partition Manager | 23:24 |
| [e]Lement | Zaiden, should be on the LIveCD | 23:24 |
| kitche | sweetgum1: xserver-xorg-dev most likely | 23:24 |
| sweetgum1 | kitche: thanks alot | 23:24 |
| [e]Lement | hm | 23:25 |
| [e]Lement | Webmin never gave me troubles... | 23:25 |
| [e]Lement | !ebox | 23:25 |
| Pici | !xincludes | sweetgum1 | 23:25 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 23:25 |
| ubottu | sweetgum1: When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following package: xorg-dev | 23:25 |
| Izinucs | sweetgum1: why not just use the one in the repos? point and click install | 23:25 |
| [e]Lement | Then again I've been running Webmin for about 3 years haha | 23:25 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement:im using webmin now on an 8.04 server and it works a treat :) | 23:25 |
| cesurasean | apt-get build-dep apache2.2-common ( E: Unable to find a source package for apache2.2-common ) | 23:25 |
| cesurasean | can someone help me with this? | 23:25 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, I run a Debian server and same. I love it. | 23:25 |
| [e]Lement | Izinucs, by the way: WARNING: the eBox package released with Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is broken and cannot be installed. See bug #255368 for information and unsupported workarounds. | 23:26 |
| carloz | someone can resolve my problem? i see all videos with all players blue | 23:26 |
| cesurasean | !apache | 23:26 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:26 |
| carloz | what plugin is bugged? | 23:26 |
| Izinucs | cesurasean: if you're doing it via terminal.. then search like this.. apt-cache search <file> | 23:26 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: my favourite thing about it is it enables me to manage all aspects of the server remotely, say from school, so i can add FTP users and let my freinds upload things for me to check out later :) | 23:26 |
| benanzo | how do I make it so when I receive emails from daemons on my Ubuntu server, they don | 23:27 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, exactly. I'm too lazy to go conf diving all day long. | 23:27 |
| cesurasean | Izinucs: I always forget that command. Thx | 23:27 |
| cesurasean | I found it now. :) | 23:27 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: same, nice graphical layout, works nicely for me :D | 23:27 |
| benanzo | don't show as being from just 'root' -- but rather the hostname of the server or something? | 23:27 |
| Izinucs | cesurasean: np :) | 23:27 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, I remember the old versions. They were a treat. Previously they didn't hide the modules that weren't in use. HAha | 23:27 |
| andresmh | I am trying to download the files in a bit torrent file, how can I select only a few of the files in the bit torrent? | 23:28 |
| benanzo | use deluge | 23:28 |
| andresmh | was that for me benanzo ? | 23:28 |
| benanzo | I think it's a better BT client than transmission | 23:28 |
| Pici | !who | 23:28 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:28 |
| benanzo | andresmh: yes | 23:28 |
| andresmh | :) thanks benanzo | 23:28 |
| oskar- | andresmh: azureus is also a good one, afaik | 23:28 |
| outboard | trying to install ubuntu dual boot with XP PRO , the installer hung but was nearly done , how do i either , complete the install , or install to the linux partitions that now exist ? | 23:28 |
| andresmh | i was trying to use transmission but i guess is not possible in that one | 23:29 |
| [e]Lement | outboard, what caused the installer to hang? | 23:29 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: yeah, i think its good too that i can install stuff remoely too, i have a freind whos in here right now, and i can fix stuff on his server for him when it breaks using webmin :D:D:D | 23:29 |
| sweetgum1 | (still compinling wine) i need the FreeType Development files can someone tell me what package is reffered to specifically by this | 23:29 |
| benanzo | azureus is OK, but it's really "heavy" -- I find most java apps are | 23:29 |
| AJF355 | oh, hi lenswipe | 23:29 |
| badawi | !networkmanager > badawi | 23:29 |
| ubottu | badawi, please see my private message | 23:29 |
| andresmh | benanzo, oh i hate java apps | 23:29 |
| lenswipe | AJF355: hi, i was just talking about u | 23:29 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: eh, still nothing oskar | 23:29 |
| AJF355 | and also break stuff at times as well lol | 23:29 |
| andresmh | i am going for deluge benanzo | 23:29 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, I have someone like that. I get phone calls at 3 AM. "Uhm, I think I messed something up..." Me: >/ | 23:29 |
| AJF355 | rofl | 23:29 |
| benanzo | andresmh: good move | 23:30 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: they still automount, but I cannot paste into them or write to those mounts... | 23:30 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lemend: lol im usualy up at that time, i stay up till late... :p | 23:30 |
| [e]Lement | benanzo, all java apps are. That's the problem with Java | 23:30 |
| AJF355 | i dont phone tho, i w8 until the next day when i can b bothered to speak to him on msn | 23:30 |
| benanzo | [e]Lement: yeah it's lame | 23:30 |
| Izinucs | lame=mp3 | 23:30 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: See AJF355? hes the one that i ususaly fix stuff for when it craps up :p | 23:30 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GnoMenu+-+consolidated+menu+for+gnome?content=93057 is that just a skin for gnomenu? or is it a seperate program? | 23:30 |
| benanzo | there's a lot of good java apps, but I can't justify using most of them just because they're Java | 23:31 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: do this with an arbitrary file "file": ls -l /media/Windows/file | 23:31 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, I think it's just a widget for the bar. But I dunno | 23:31 |
| AJF355 | so, whats this about webmin breaking thing? | 23:31 |
| funkyHat | andresmh: you can choose which files you want to download in transmission... | 23:31 |
| FreshPrince | gn8 | 23:31 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: would the original gnome-look.org page be of any use to you? | 23:31 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: /home/bryce/Desktop/If I Could Make a Living Out of Loving You - Clay Walker.mp3 | 23:31 |
| [e]Lement | AJF355, the person I am talking about made a bash script to help with deleting users. Ended up he wiped half the users off the box, but their home directories still existed. That was a fun few hours rebuilding users. | 23:31 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: shit that's not right | 23:31 |
| AJF355 | ok | 23:32 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: there: -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 4607062016 2008-12-03 21:39 /media/windows/pagefile.sys | 23:32 |
| AJF355 | thats rly mucked up though | 23:32 |
| andresmh | funkyHat, i tried selecting them, and then clicked "download", nothing happened, i clicked +Add and then it started downloading all of them | 23:32 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: whoah, shit! thats bad!!! i usualy delete users manually | 23:32 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, I think it's a widget. Download it and read the README file. | 23:32 |
| AJF355 | same | 23:32 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: ok thanks | 23:32 |
| Pici | !language | bdelin88 lenswipe | 23:32 |
| ubottu | bdelin88 lenswipe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:32 |
| lenswipe | Pici: sorry. | 23:32 |
| benanzo | anyone know how to make emails from an Ubuntu server be from something other than 'root' | 23:32 |
| bdelin88 | yes yes hush | 23:32 |
| [e]Lement | lenswipe, I fixed the script. And it works now. But here's what I did. I wrote the executable in C++ so he couldn't get smart and edit it. | 23:32 |
| toastedmilk | I need help resetting the default schema for an iPod in gconf-editor | 23:33 |
| outboard | [e]Lement : started endlessly looping trying to access usb deices | 23:33 |
| funkyHat | andresmh: once you've added a torrent file, right click on it then click details, and then you can select which files are downloaded on the files tab | 23:33 |
| badawi | /etc/debian_version -> lenny/sid, where's the file that says: but its actually ubuntu blah ... | 23:33 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: lol, good idea. A little knowledge can be dangerous | 23:33 |
| [e]Lement | outboard, I would have no idea. It's hard to say whether the install is complete or not. You would have to reinstall. | 23:33 |
| lenswipe | [e]Lement: so what was wrong with the script? did it just get into a fixed loop and delete everyone? | 23:33 |
| toastedmilk | I need help resetting the default schema for an iPod in gconf-editor | 23:33 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: you need it again? | 23:33 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: ok, lookup your numeric user id with "id" and add an option to the fourth field in the three fstab-lines: uid=<numeric-user-id> | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | badawi: lsb_release -a | 23:34 |
| zigzag1 | hello I have a .srt file thaat came with a movie i have,how do I get the 2 to work together? VLC doesnt recognize the srt format | 23:34 |
| [e]Lement | badawi, lsb_release -a | 23:34 |
| [e]Lement | Combo breaker =/ | 23:34 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: ok, is that setting permissions just for my user id i assume? | 23:34 |
| badawi | ActionParsnip [e]Lement thanks | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | zigzag1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=568862 | 23:34 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: and you can also put a group id there, if you have reasonable one, for example "users" | 23:34 |
| nn-main | how come the I810 chip is so tarable at 3d? | 23:34 |
| [e]Lement | No problem | 23:34 |
| zigzag1 | TY | 23:34 |
| furythor | still, no good with my monitor. Does anyone know if Nokia Multigraph and ValueGraph monitors had lot differences ? | 23:34 |
| [e]Lement | nn-main, you mean the Intel Video adapter? | 23:35 |
| toastedmilk | I need help resetting the default schema for an iPod in gconf-editor | 23:35 |
| [e]Lement | furythor, there is a way to fix it that no longer works in 8.10 | 23:35 |
| furythor | aaw | 23:35 |
| outboard | [e]Lement: ok but how do i install to the partitions that are alredy there now , if i try to install from the live cd it wants to either use the free space on the xp partition , overwrite the xp partition or use the whole drive | 23:35 |
| [e]Lement | I had the same issue when using 8.04 | 23:35 |
| nn-main | [e]Lement, ya I think its in an P4 dell 3 to for years old | 23:35 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: with uid=... you appear as owner of the files inside the file system mounted there | 23:35 |
| aprilhare | hello: is there a known fix i could apply for the bad printing quality from firefox 3.04? text comes out with apparent bad kernel spacing.. | 23:35 |
| [e]Lement | nn-main, thats the reason. It's old and the Intel Video Adapters were never good | 23:35 |
| * Matthew|Laptop is away: be back later | 23:35 | |
| [e]Lement | outboard, you're going to have to manually edit the partition tables. | 23:36 |
| aprilhare | 3.0.4 even | 23:36 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: ok neato then, i think i understand | 23:36 |
| furythor | So what I am supposed to do ? Write monitor lines by hand ? | 23:36 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: is this change automatic or do i need to reboot again? | 23:36 |
| zigzag1 | ActionParsnip: oops I'm dyslexic, its actually a sfv file, not an srt | 23:36 |
| [e]Lement | aprilhare, seems me typing 8.04 messed ya up. Haha | 23:36 |
| nn-main | [e]Lement, ah because my brother keeps playing 3d games on it and i think he will eventually brake it lol | 23:36 |
| outboard | [e]Lement that should be the third option in the installer ? | 23:36 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: remount: "mount -o remount /media/Windows" and so on... | 23:36 |
| [e]Lement | He won't break it. | 23:36 |
| [e]Lement | Remind me what the third option is, outboard. | 23:36 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: thank you | 23:36 |
| funkyHat | furythor: I would guess it has something to do with either the type of display used or the dead pixel count that gets through the QA (i.e. multigraphs that have too many dead pixels might become valuegraphs) | 23:36 |
| AJF355 | I have to laugh so much about my friends who i have made think that i have hacked mac and renamed everything on it as ubuntu, som people just make me laugh so much sometimes | 23:36 |
| nn-main | anyone know of some really fun 3d games | 23:37 |
| nn-main | that were built for linux | 23:37 |

| Nick924em | mainly linux only has FPS's games, but good luck with your search :) | 23:37 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then mount it once again. | 23:37 |
| geodome | mmm.. so what happens when i create a symbolic link folder on var/www/ to a directory in my home folder? | 23:37 |
| [e]Lement | Dr. Mario | 23:37 |

| geodome | so what to do? | 23:38 |
| geodome | where should i put the files | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | nn-main: apt-cache search game | less | 23:38 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: hm, ok, then: umount /media/Windows; mount /media/Windows | 23:38 |
| karen | anyone know how to get wine to see a volume to extract to? | 23:38 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: with "sudo" in front of each of the commands that need root privileges | 23:38 |
| outboard | [e]Lement that should be the third option in the installer ? | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | geodome: it enables you to access that folder from ~/ rather than having to cd to the www folder | 23:38 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: it says that: $ sudo unmount /media/windows | 23:38 |
| nn-main | anyone know how to speed up java's vm ---- 3d runtime speed | 23:38 |

| aprilhare | [e]Lement, it | 23:39 |
| m_tadeu | hi | 23:39 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: that is why i wrote "umount" ;-) | 23:39 |
| aprilhare | [e]Lement, typnig was never my strong suit :) printing though is important. | 23:39 |
| m_tadeu | is there an app compatible with corel draw files? | 23:39 |
| etherael | anyone know of a way you can treat 2 monitors as three? Ie one works as normal, but the second one contains two "workspaces" for want of a better term, so I can whack a window into a predefined frame and it will maximise out to say 30% and stay there and there's another frame within that workspace that will stick @ 70%? | 23:39 |

| ActionParsnip | m_tadeu: whats the file extension? | 23:39 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone tell me the default schema for an ipod mount_point key in gconf-editor? | 23:39 |
| outboard | manually ,blah blah blah partition , something something something else | 23:40 |
| [e]Lement | toastedmilk, it doesn't seem like it. Maybe you should post on the forums. | 23:40 |
| bdelin88 | oskar-: haha you would think they could afford to put an "n" into that command... sheesh | 23:40 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: package= ntfs-config - Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices | 23:40 |

| bdelin88 | gnutron: what what, what is all that??? | 23:41 |
| [e]Lement | That's weird.. | 23:41 |
| m_tadeu | ActionParsnip: actully I don't know...was trying to install it with wine | 23:41 |
| aprilhare | [e]Lement, i could use seamonkey except it chops off the headers and footers | 23:41 |
| aprilhare | instead | 23:41 |
| davidkap | oskar-: the specs for 1.0 say cap is 12.5 | 23:41 |
| furythor | Howto define monitor settings to xorg.conf if I know that it can support resolution 1280x1024 @ 60Hz | 23:41 |
| Daxx | Anyone one here good with GIMP | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | m_tadeu: genii says theres a linux version | 23:41 |
| kaii | an alias for "unmount" in the default distro could help the support channels alot :) | 23:41 |
| m_tadeu | genii: I only have the windows version...do you know if the license is the same? | 23:41 |
| oskar- | davidkap: 12,5 mbit/s, maybe | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Daxx: id try #gimp | 23:41 |
| [e]Lement | LOL, hm. Lose Lose Scenario | 23:41 |
| outbri | When I open firefox, it opens in a half full screen mode. toolbar and a few things are still visible. When I hit f11, it goes to real full screen, and again and it goes to normal. how do I get it to open normally? | 23:41 |
| === ataufik_ is now known as ataufik | ||
| Daxx | ok ty | 23:41 |
| faryshta_ | furythor, maybe you need to install some driver for your Graphic Card. | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | outbri: maximise it | 23:41 |
| oskar- | bdelin88: ls -l again... | 23:42 |
| gnutron | bdelin88: it will configure your ntfs volumes. otherwise you need sudo chown -R user:group /media/windows/ | 23:42 |
| genii | m_tadeu: Of the license I don't know. It used to come bundled with Corel Linux, but they sell it now as a separate product | 23:42 |
| davidkap | " It is now obsolete, but both of its speeds (1.5Mbps & 12Mbps) are being adopted into USB 2.0" | 23:42 |
| FishieFoo | I have some .ogm files I need to play. Is medibuntu likely to solve that? | 23:42 |
| furythor | I got graphics card fine, atleast acording to that Nvidia X server settings applet | 23:43 |
