| Xarver | Hello, if I use wubi and install ubuntu, will it remove the opensuse installation on my computer? (want to get rid of opensuse) | 00:00 |
| Maizcul | When I installed ubuntu I was pleasantly surprised that everything actually worked, even my wireless card which is from a company i'd never heard of before I got the card. | 00:00 |
| damagu | ActionParsnip isn't that thread talkingabout xorg.conf... where did you get the bit about /etc/modprobe.d/olpc.conf.dist? | 00:00 |
| m_tadeu | so I don't seem to find a corel draw for linux....and still don't know the file extention | 00:00 |
| kitche | Xarver: no since wubi installs a image inside of Windows to boot from | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | damagu: one of the links I gave | 00:01 |
| |GaiJin| | in windows mediacentre, i was able to view certain internet tv's and such... is linux media centre able to do the same... anyone tried it?? or is there a program i should rather be concentrating on?? | 00:01 |

| ward_ | xmbc runs like crap on older hardware (at least the older hardware i tried it on) | 00:02 |
| kristian_ | Can anyone tell me how to enforce the use of a particular graphics driver in Intrepid? Auto-detection doesn't work, and xorg.conf is seemingly obsolete now... | 00:02 |
| damagu | ActionParsnip: You only posted one link didn't you? And that went to a thread talkingabout xorg.conf. Either way do I need to restart my machine for it to work... and does this disable the tap to click or do I then need to use gsynaptics to disable it? | 00:02 |
| |GaiJin| | ActionParsnip: what repos?? | 00:02 |
| oskar- | m_tadeu: cdr was the extension of a normal corel draw file, at least from version 4 to 8 | 00:02 |
| jrib | kristian_: xorg.conf, you're misinformed | 00:02 |
| kristian_ | I am? | 00:03 |
| ward_ | |GaiJin| you can also watch internettv with it yes | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | |GaiJin|: webseach xbmc, the site has a guidew | 00:03 |
| jrib | kristian_: xorg.conf just isn't the place to configure input devices anymore (by default) | 00:03 |
| |GaiJin| | thanks again | 00:03 |
| user__ | georgy_28 if i click on system and hardware dirvers it tells me that support for atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards is enbled | 00:03 |

| ward_ | |GaiJin| same with mythtv, they have pretty nice docs | 00:03 |

| Flannel | Guest43923: blkid will tell you | 00:04 |
| georgy_28 | user__, : ok, but sometimes this driver don't work, so we need the output from the lspci command to know the wifi chip | 00:04 |
| histo | My friend just installed updates he had waiting on ibex. He said there were some errors. He doesn't remember what the errors were. The system was acting "weird" so he restarted and now when he logs in he has no panels no Alt+F2 run dialog but shows his start up scripts and deesktop backgournd. This behavior also happens if he trys gnome failsafe? | 00:04 |

| jrib | histo: you're friend should join here directly so that the issue can be debugged | 00:05 |
| user__ | georgy_28 but this command doesn't say there's even a wifi chip, but somehow it must have been detected, otherwise how come ubunto has activated the atheros driver? | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | histo: if you create a new user and log in as that is it ok? | 00:06 |
| user__ | georgy_28 so there's nothing i can do about it? | 00:06 |
| Izinucs | histo: no failsafe is a terminal prompt for fixing things.. irssi is a terminal irc client.. | 00:06 |
| Guest43923 | oskar-: it only shows 8 0 117220824 sda | 00:06 |
| histo | jrib, he's here but cooking right now. I'm waiting for him to forward ssh so I cna log in and look for erros. | 00:06 |
| georgy_28 | user__, : can you pastebin the output of lspci ? | 00:06 |
| gnutron | h00k: i hesitate to say intrepid broke 'something' try sudo umount /dev/cdrom0 in a terminal | 00:06 |
| histo | Izinucs, no gnome failsafe session is completely different then recover console. | 00:06 |
| Guest43923 | oskar-: although I have 4 partitions... | 00:06 |
| Izinucs | histo: ah.. I was mixing them up.. sorry.. | 00:06 |
| histo | ActionParsnip, haven't tried that yet but as i stated if he selects gnome failsafe from sessions it still has no panel. | 00:06 |
| Guest43923 | Flannel: blkid? It says not found... | 00:06 |

| h00k | gnutron, neither does /dev/cd* (cd anything) | 00:07 |
| Flannel | Guest43923: that's probably true due to busybox. | 00:07 |
| h00k | gnutron, that's why I'm quite puzzled. | 00:07 |

| etherael | hey guys, quick q, I have a system with an onboard and a pci e based video card, both show up in lspci as fara s I can see (01:00.0 and 01:00.1) I'm running two monitors off one and want to run a third off the other, how would I go about doing this? | 00:24 |
| filthpig | jrib: I guess they hope to save money from opening the sourcecode and wait for Iced Tea to mature.. | 00:25 |
| georgy_28 | user__, : open a terminal and type : cd Desktop | 00:25 |
| filthpig | which is pretty un-userfriendly | 00:25 |

| etherael | wiijii, I don't even particularily mind if I run a completely different X process for the other video card, is there a way to isolate X and tell it to run only on a certain videocard? | 00:26 |
| furythor | For all I need, is to add this mode to my xorg.conf 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz | 00:26 |

| leonel_ | Zimbo: but you have any idea? | 00:26 |

| etherael | wiijii, more usable screen space. | 00:27 |
| wiijii | etherael Fair enough. Afraid I've never done that with X, so I'm not sure | 00:27 |
| leonel_ | my pc at job is running ubuntu and i have win in my home | 00:28 |

| wiijii | etherael What sort of screen space? Can you not use multiple desktops? | 00:28 |

| etherael | wiijii, Ideally I like to code with three screens, one for doco one for code layout and one for execution / display / debug | 00:29 |
| Zimbo | leonel: OK, gotcha... if your home PC is 192.168..., that would imply there a router between your home PC and the Internet. There are two things you should do: (1) Set your home PC to a fixed IP address, and then (2) forward port 22 (SSH) on your router to the fixed IP of your home PC | 00:30 |
| georgy_28 | user_ great, now type cd /usr/local | 00:30 |
| smee2 | what folder is .bachrc in? | 00:30 |
| wiijii | Etherael, So you have a third monitor? | 00:30 |
| Zimbo | leonel: Doing #2 is a function of the manufacturer/model of router you're using... they're all similar, however... if you know the model we can probably find a web page that describes the process | 00:30 |
| wiijii | etherael, So you have a third monitor? | 00:30 |
| rellik | anybody here have success with external webcams? I plug my logitech quick cam in, and it shows up as /dev/video0, and from both lsusb (correctly identified) and lsmod (is using usbcore and videodev).. so it seems it was correctly detected, but 'cheese' and 'easycam-gtk' both report that there is no webcam on the system.. any ideas what's going on? | 00:30 |
| etherael | wiijii, yep, two monitors attached to one card, third monitor attached to the onboard. | 00:30 |
| user__ | georgy_28 ok | 00:31 |
| wiijii | etherael, Aaaah sorry, I thought you just wanted another X server... on the same monitor! Heh, stupid. Yeah I use two monitors, couldn't do without them | 00:31 |

| leonel_ | Zimbo: ok, so what about if I want to do same thing in two computer at home, can i redirect to ip address in my router? | 00:32 |
| Zimbo | leonel: Also (3) -- You need to know the actual Internet IP address of your DSL/cable modem connection. It might (probably does) change from time to time, and you use something like dyndns.org to "fix" that problem, but let's worry about that later. For right now, from your home machine, just go to something like http://www.myipis.org/ and note down what it tells you. | 00:32 |
| === vahnx2 is now known as vahnx | ||
| user__ | georgy_28 done. Oh, how i hate xchat here. when i click on another place down in the bar ubuntu doens't change to there, i must first minimize xchat. whith other progs it works. | 00:32 |

| vahnx | i had one before but cannot recreate it | 00:32 |
| smee2 | prahal_: is it hidden? i can't seem to find it | 00:32 |
| etherael | wiijii, I am not sure you can tell a single X process to do that, but I can't imagine you can't just run a second X display and say "hey there's a card at this PCI bus please talk only to it and use driver x" | 00:33 |
| leonel_ | Zimbo: ok, so what about if I want to do same thing in two computer at home, can i redirect to ip address in my router? | 00:33 |
| user__ | georgy_28 many erros | 00:33 |
| prahal_ | smee2, yes . Every dot<file> are hidden | 00:33 |
| Zimbo | leonel: If you have multiple PCs at home, what you have to do is either (1) get your ISP to provide you with multiple IP addresses (usually costs money, so this is not at all a common practice) or (2) you decide to use a non-standard port on the Internet for SSH to the 2nd PC (instead of port 22, use, e.g., 2222), and then have the router direct port 22 to PC #1 (port 22) and port 2222 to PC #2 (port 22) | 00:33 |
| Zimbo | leonel: (The second method there is pretty common...) | 00:34 |
| georgy_28 | user_ : know we must be sure that you have all the packages to build the driver : sudo apt-get install build-essential | 00:34 |

| uc50ic4more | @leonel_: whatever is responsible for your public IP (let's say a router, for example) should have the facility to report the IP to DynDNS.. then, you forward port 22 to the machine you want, and make sure the target machine is open on port 22 and has a VNC server, etc. | 00:52 |
| rellik | prahal_, got it.. but not sure how to use it | 00:52 |
| prahal_ | rellik, could you tell me lsusb output for your webcam ? | 00:52 |
| openly | hi | 00:53 |
| rellik | prahal_, Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express | 00:53 |
| uc50ic4more | @leonel_: having said that, the ddclient software *takes into account* if you are behind a router IIRC.. the better option, though, is to set up "DDNS" on your router | 00:53 |
| NotSoSuperMario | oh, I missed a bit. I meant to say "find /home/geoff/source ! -name *.svn -exec cp '{}' /home/geoff/destination \;" won't copy sub-directories, just the files in them. Can anyone tell me how to get it to preserve the file tree while still filtering out SVN files? | 00:53 |
| nbeebo | well cya all except selfish id**ts like <Maizcul> | 00:54 |
| leonel_ | @uc50ic4more: Ok, I'll try it, Thanks a lot man!!! | 00:54 |
| badawi | !ping | 00:54 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 00:54 |
| uc50ic4more | @leonel_: no problem! | 00:54 |
| prahal_ | any dkms user could tell how to install a module via dkms (without rebooting that , that I know of | 00:55 |
| TGLL | I heard that ubuntu is some derivative of Debian. | 00:56 |
| Maizcul | anyone got ideas on how to get laptops fn keys to work? | 00:56 |
| uc50ic4more | @prahal_: i *thought* that having the dkms package installed attended to updating kernel modules automagically | 00:56 |
| Flannel | TGLL: Debian is the rock on which Ubuntu is built, yes, | 00:57 |
| Nick924em | TGLL, it is based on Debian | 00:57 |
| Maizcul | It's a Sony Vaio PCG-K195BP if that helps at all :/ | 00:57 |
| uc50ic4more | @prahal_: meaning that i was not aware that any kernel module needed to be installed "via dkms" | 00:57 |
| TGLL | So, is it somehow better than Debian? | 00:57 |
| TGLL | or easier to set up? | 00:57 |
| prahal_ | uc50ic4more, don't know yet . I have a 2.6.28 kernel and everyting I need is included | 00:57 |
| prahal_ | thanks | 00:57 |
| [e]Lement | The server vesion is the exact same to setup | 00:57 |
| [e]Lement | The desktop version is much easier | 00:57 |
| Nick924em | TGLL, dont you think we'd be a bit biased to answer that? :) | 00:58 |
| uc50ic4more | @prahal_: my only experience with this issue is VirtualBox , which suggest installing dkms to auto matically update the kernel modules | 00:58 |
| Maizcul | easier to set up i'd say | 00:58 |
| Flannel | TGLL: It tries to accomplish different goals. One of which is ease of use (and set up), yes | 00:58 |
| [e]Lement | TGLL, are you looking to use it for a Desktop or a Server? | 00:58 |
| TGLL | I'm just interested in using it for a home PC. | 00:59 |
| [e]Lement | Yeah, it's alot easier to setup and use. | 00:59 |
| TGLL | And as with Linux in general, it's worth the trouble because of all the free open-source software out there. | 00:59 |
| [e]Lement | Compared to Debian, of course. If you were going to be using it for a server, I would have just told you to use Debian. | 01:00 |
| user__ | georgy_28 no, no success :-( | 01:00 |
| Maizcul | trouble, what trouble? | 01:00 |
| sloopy | TGLL, in my opinion ubuntu is a more refined and user ready desktop os | 01:00 |
| badawi | in NetworkManager, i need help setting the routes for vpn, the "Editing IPv4 routes" dialog, i don't understand this window, what's prefix and metric, all i want is to have all 192.22.22.0/24 traffic go thru vpn which the connection creates | 01:00 |
| prahal_ | rellik, ok you want sudo apt-get install qc-usb-source | 01:00 |

| Maizcul | is there somewhere i can browse through a list of extra keyboard setups? | 01:01 |
| TGLL | How is the technical support for ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| georgy_28 | user_ : strange, go to the madwifi repository i usr/local , do sudo make and pastebin the output please | 01:01 |
| sloopy | TGLL, debian is mostly designed to be a stable reliable OS, whereas ubuntu is more trying to be a workable and decent desktop OS for the people looking for a windows alternative | 01:02 |
| [e]Lement | But it's still stable | 01:02 |
| TGLL | not quite as stable as Windows? | 01:02 |
| sloopy | TGLL, both debian and ubuntu have alot of support | 01:02 |
| [e]Lement | Ubuntu is far-more stable than Windows XP | 01:02 |
| sloopy | TGLL, much more stable then windows | 01:02 |
| TGLL | or vista? | 01:02 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | TGLL, far more stable than Windows, not as stable as Debian stable | 01:02 |
| rellik | prahal_, cool.. so now I've downloaded the source, and I'm ready to make it.. but where do source packages live? | 01:02 |
| sloopy | only thing less stable then vista is Me | 01:03 |
| damagu | Hi all, I am having trouble getting tap-to-click disabled on my trackpad. I have tried following advice on different forum posts but it hasn't worked. I installed gsynaptics but when I run it I get this error:"GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics". I tried adding the line 'Option "SHMConfig" "true"' to my xorg.conf... but that didn't work... I tried "on" instead of | 01:03 |
| [e]Lement | TGLL, Vista has gotten alot better. They are releasing a new OS tho. Microsoft Windows 7 is due out in June / July of 2009 | 01:03 |
| Nick924em | How would i back up all files with filenames starting with journal ... like journal1 journal2 etc...that are in /home/whoever/ with rsync? | 01:03 |
| Maizcul | Tbh, you can only use stable and windows in the same sentan | 01:03 |
| Lagos | Debian and Ubuntu have very similar code bases. Ubuntu tends to make more desktop-friendly configuration choices in the default install. Ubuntu generally has a more extensive set of audio card drivers enabled in the default kernel, for example. | 01:03 |
| Maizcul | sentance* when is not is placed between | 01:03 |
| [e]Lement | And Microsoft Windows 7 is really really good. But that aside. But yes, Ubuntu works best out of box. | 01:03 |
| prahal_ | rellik, /usr/src though it should have been build and installed automagically by dkms | 01:04 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Lagos, there's very little practical difference - I use both regularly - Ubuntu is a bit more newbie friendly | 01:04 |
| TGLL | How can one have a better desktop than the other, if KDE and GNOME are the same? | 01:04 |
| prahal_ | you just need to unplug then plug the camera | 01:04 |
| Lagos | I've seen some notable differences in driver support in the default kernels, Jewfro. | 01:04 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | TGLL, both are nice, it's a preference | 01:04 |
| [e]Lement | I prefer GNOME | 01:04 |
| Maveas | [e]Lement: srly? is it THAT GOOD? | 01:04 |
| Lagos | Userland is very similar. | 01:04 |
| user__ | georgy_28 http://pastebin.com/m3ff0194e | 01:05 |
| sloopy | TGLL, kde and gnome are very configurable, each has its good/bad sides | 01:05 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Lagos, haven't noticed as I've standard older hardware I guess | 01:05 |
| [e]Lement | Yeah, Memory Management was entirely rewritten. So it's not a resource hog anymore. | 01:05 |
| damagu | Oh I also tried adding the option "Movtaptime" (or whatever it was) "0" and someone else said set it to "2" which didn't work either | 01:05 |
| rellik | prahal_, interesting.. never really understood source packages.. so they get downloaded as source, then compiled locally instead of downloaded as a precompiled package? | 01:05 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | TGLL, but I frequently compile my own using latest kernel.org sources anyway | 01:05 |
| mker | TGLL, Gnome and KDE is a matter of taste. You can use KDE apps in Gnome and Gnome apps in KDE. | 01:05 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Lagos, but I frequently compile my own using latest kernel.org sources anyway | 01:05 |
| georgy_28 | user_ : do the same with sudo make install | 01:05 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | TGLL, ignore that | 01:05 |
| Maveas | [e]Lement: sweet.. so how better in performance compared to vista is 7? | 01:05 |
| Lagos | Yeah. | 01:05 |
| TGLL | Is the KDE desktop the same in all linux distributions? | 01:06 |
| sloopy | TGLL, and have both installed on one machine, (like i prefer gnome and my mrs prefers kde) | 01:06 |
| Flannel | TGLL: Not exactly the same, but similar, yes | 01:06 |
| TGLL | Is the gNOME desktop the same in all linux distributions? | 01:06 |
| Flannel | TGLL: Not exactly the same, but similar, yes | 01:06 |
| prahal_ | rellik, well usually you unzip them then ./configure, make, make install . Though the kernel modules for ubuntu are done automtically if you use the package they provide | 01:06 |
| [e]Lement | Maveas, it is a pre-beta version. But people have it running better than Vista, on 1 GB of RAM | 01:06 |
| Nick924em | How would i back up all files with filenames starting with journal ... like journal1 journal2 etc...that are in /home/whoever/ with rsync? | 01:06 |
| Ninina | I had to force a reboot of X and when it came back all my icons had changed and they are very ugly, anyone know how to fix this? | 01:06 |
| TGLL | So, the KDE project makes different versions for different distributions? | 01:06 |
| Maveas | [e]Lement: But HOW much? :) | 01:06 |
| Flannel | TGLL: no, the distros customize them theirselves | 01:07 |
| Maveas | [e]Lement: 10%, 20%, 30% or higher? | 01:07 |

| user__ | georgy_28 http://pastebin.com/m54e64988 | 01:07 |
| [e]Lement | As far as I know percentages were not calculated yet. But startup, shutdown, and everything else is faster. Plus all Vista apps are compatable. But I am sure Ubuntu will still be more stable. | 01:07 |
| [e]Lement | Flannel, it was relating to Ubuntu | 01:07 |
| rellik | prahal_, cool.. I do see the file they wanted me to insmod is now at: /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/ubuntu/qc-usb/quickcam.ko... do I actually have to insmod it everytime or should it just get automatically used (I just unplugged/replugged it and it didn't show up in lsmod) | 01:07 |

| uc50ic4more | @Nick924em: that sounds tricky -- i am sure it's possible, but may require some shell scripting; meaning i am unsure if rsync has that facility itself | 01:09 |
| Flannel | dn_: shred will do while drives, files, etc. | 01:09 |
| prahal_ | rellik, hum weird . You could add it in the meantime to /etc/modules. Does the camera work with the module : "sudo modprobe quickam" | 01:09 |

| AguchoB | i can install hardy perfectly but not intrepid | 01:11 |
| Lagos | The objection to using shred for Reiser is that it is journaled, according to the man page. IIRC, by default Reiser only journals metadata. | 01:11 |
| prahal_ | rellik, does it also build a qc-usb driver or only quickam ? | 01:11 |
| zzlyzq | My linux version is fedora 10. | 01:11 |

| user__ | georgy_28: i see netwoks now! :-) Thank you! | 01:13 |
| Lagos | By journaling metadata only the goal is to keep the filesystem structure itself consistent. It doesn't protect data. This is the default behavior in ext3 and if I recall in Reiser. | 01:13 |
| georgy_28 | user__, wait, we are not finish we have to say to start at startup | 01:13 |

| damagu | Hi all, I am having trouble getting tap-to-click disabled on my trackpad. I have tried following advice on different forum posts but it hasn't worked. I installed gsynaptics but when I run it I get this error:"GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics". I tried adding the line 'Option "SHMConfig" "true"' to my xorg.conf... but that didn't work... I tried "on" instead | 01:15 |
| AguchoB | for me it a bug with the intrepid install and sata drivers... | 01:15 |
| prahal_ | damagu, yep for internal camera (I had the same issue on this eeepc :) but this quickam express is external I bet | 01:15 |
| dn_ | want to work out if i should fire up my old server and run it in that or just take some downtime on the computer with the drive | 01:15 |
| Lagos | The default number of iterations is 25. On a 7.2 RPM SATA drive you're probably looking at 50 MB/s sustained write speed (conservative). | 01:16 |
| Maizcul | depends on HDD speed | 01:16 |
| rellik | prahal_, dmesg output: http://pastie.org/331484 | 01:16 |
| damagu | prahal_ have you tried disabling click to tap on your eeepc... that's what I'mhaving trouble with? | 01:16 |
| dn_ | a rough estimate | 01:16 |
| rellik | damagu, it's a USB webcam so I don't know that my bios knows anything about it | 01:16 |
| AguchoB | any know why happens this issue? | 01:16 |
| user__ | georgy_28 at the end of what file? | 01:16 |
| Lagos | So one iteration of 160 GB will probably take 53 minutes. | 01:16 |
| Lagos | 25 of them will take a day. | 01:17 |
| dn_ | i read that shred -z would take like 3 days | 01:17 |
| georgy_28 | user__, /etc/modules | 01:17 |
| damagu | rellik: sorry. I just fixed my internal one via the bios | 01:17 |

| georgy_28 | user__, no, just sudo gedit /etc/modules end add ath_pci at the end | 01:18 |
| badawi | ok for my routing question, filling in Address: 192.22.22.0 Prefix: 24 Gateway: 0.0.0.0 Metric: 0 seems to work | 01:18 |

| Nick924em | SuSe? ewww didnt they like make nicey nicey with Microsoft awhile back? | 01:20 |
| Lagos | Actually, your drive speed isn't going to be the bottleneck. It's that shred uses /dev/urandom. | 01:20 |

| Ninina | So my desktop changed it's icons to gnome default, but I would like a different set, but when I try to change the theme under system->preferences->apperance nothing happens, I'm using 8.10 | 01:21 |
| georgy_28 | user : are you in gedit | 01:21 |
| uc50ic4more | @mker: just easier to guess, for the most part | 01:22 |
| rellik | prahal_, I appreciate you helping with this.... did you see my dmesg output? nothing seems out of the ordinary about it to me, but I don't see which driver it is trying to use | 01:22 |
| user__ | georgy_28 stupid question. i was in the wrong window, hahahaah | 01:22 |
| Mal3ko | uc50ic4more: hmm ok | 01:22 |
| user__ | georgy_28 i saved it. so now, it's all done? | 01:22 |
| mker | uc50ic4more, actually now that I think about it it's obvious considering you can change the password, thanks though :) | 01:22 |
| uc50ic4more | @mal3ko: well, depending on the complexity of your question, of course | 01:23 |
| paulo_ | #ubuntu-es | 01:23 |
| Mal3ko | i have few things that i don't understand with pure-ftpd...1. how do i change the port? | 01:23 |
| prahal_ | rellik, looks fine and the camera is activated upon insertion :) first step ok . now is xawtv | 01:23 |
| user__ | georgy_28 my question was stupid not yours, heheh, because i was in the wrong window. now i added it and saved it | 01:24 |
| georgy_28 | user__, yes, but when there is a kernel update, you have to go to the madwifi repository, and do sudo make and sudo make again, to compile the driver for the new kernel and reboot. | 01:24 |
| uc50ic4more | @Mal3ko: i do not recall offhand where the pureftpd .conf file is, but it'd probably be set in there.. alternatively, you could investigate a GUI for pureftpd | 01:24 |
| Mal3ko | and one more pureftpd is set to runa as service..and how do i find out the cmd startline used to run the pureftpd service? | 01:24 |
| rellik | prahal_, I have tried 'xawtv -device /dev/video0' .. but it's gives errors: http://pastie.org/331487 | 01:25 |
| Mal3ko | uc50ic4more: im using ubuntu server here so no gui..everything has be done in cmd | 01:25 |
| user__ | georgy_28 uy, the site you gave me? i bookmarked it, and then all the commands just like now? ok. I copied them all to a txt file | 01:25 |
| prahal_ | rellik, does xawtv shows something ? | 01:25 |
| rellik | nope, just black with "???" as the title | 01:25 |
| user__ | georgy_28 Dank U / Merci beaucoup! | 01:25 |
| badawi | how is the -server kernel different from the -generic kernel? | 01:25 |
| prahal_ | rellik, ah it is xawtv -c /dev/video0 | 01:25 |
| dn_ | Lagos: 65MB/s | 01:26 |
| prahal_ | rellik, oh sorry --device works too | 01:26 |
| rellik | prahal_, same errors with -c | 01:26 |

| === porter12 is now known as porter1 | ||
| prahal_ | well for me too though I believed it was an issue with my configuration (cheese and skype works well here) | 01:29 |
| Lagos | /dev/urandom has abysmal sustained generation of random numbers. | 01:29 |
| Lagos | I'm seeing 6 MB/s on my box. | 01:30 |
| === rlt is now known as rww | ||
| mker | Lagos, Please keep your question in *one* message. It makes it easier for us to read and increases your chances of getting an answer. | 01:30 |
| prahal_ | I am trying to find a video grabber that does not use hal | 01:30 |
| dn_ | is /dev/urandom what shred uses? | 01:30 |
| aguchoB | any one? | 01:30 |
| Lagos | By default, yes. ANd urandom is faster than random, as I recall. So if you wanted to overwrite your drive with random data and you had a urandom no faster than mine, one pass over the 160 GB drive would take... 7 hours? | 01:31 |
| * porter1 's hand isn't sealing and he doesn't want to make it worse... ugh! | 01:31 | |
| uc50ic4more | @aguchoB: what flickering problem are you referring to? | 01:31 |
| gnutron | Lagos: it is supposed to do that. urandom | 01:31 |
| kopy07 | Can someone help me with a webcamera propblem? | 01:31 |
| Lagos | 25 passes (which is what shred uses) would take 25 times that, so you'd be running for about a week. | 01:31 |
| mouka | anybody has ever used vsftpd? | 01:31 |
| aguchoB | ati drivers with hardy when you use.. screen savers or compiz | 01:31 |
| mker | kopy07, just ask what you want to know and maybe someone can. | 01:31 |
| mouka | I just need to ask a few questions | 01:32 |
| uc50ic4more | @mouka: yes, w/ FreeBSD a few years back | 01:32 |
| badawi | rlt: i installed the ubuntu desktop edition. but using apt-get i installed kvm and xen, and that installed -server kernel for me, i'm not planning on using virtualization all the time but is it ok to stick to booting -server kernel anyway and dump -generic for my day to day use? | 01:32 |
| mker | mouka, just ask what you want to know and maybe someone can help you | 01:32 |
| Lagos | Now this is an unpopular opinion amongst people who want to show how smart they are security wise, but I really don't think that kind of treatment is necessary. Read The Great Zero Challenge: http://16systems.com/zero/ | 01:32 |
| Shalak | hey guys | 01:32 |
| rww | Lagos: agreed. I just dd if=/dev/zero of=<drive>, myself | 01:32 |
| Lagos | In which no professional data recovery firm has taken up the challenge of showing that they can recover data from a drive which has been zeroed ONCE. | 01:33 |
| prahal_ | I bet somewhat that xawtv got broken in latest packages of ubuntu . | 01:33 |
| Shalak | simple question how do i check which version of ubuntu I have? | 01:33 |
| Lagos | So my approach would be what rww says. | 01:33 |
| mouka | I have a fairly straight forward vsftpd.conf, and yet a user I have added to my system (local user) cannot log in | 01:33 |
| rww | badawi: Depends. Read the stuff on the link I gave you and decide for yourself. | 01:33 |
| rww | !version | Shalak | 01:33 |
| ubottu | Shalak: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 01:33 |
| mouka | I have tried several things to make it work, but nothing seems to work | 01:33 |
| kopy07 | I see the device in /dev but when I used mplayer to view the output I dont get an output, I do get an error but google was no use. When I use VLC to play it i jsut get no putput but do get audio. How can I fix this problem? | 01:33 |
| gnutron | Shalak: lsb_release -a in a terminal. | 01:33 |
| mouka | I am completely at a loss as to what's going on | 01:33 |
| king | hey | 01:33 |
| usser_ | mouka, pastebin it? | 01:33 |
| Ninina | Gah I can't figure out what is wrong, every one of my config files says my Icon set should be Human, the icon set human exists, yet I can't change anything about my desktop apperance and it's stuck on basic gnome | 01:33 |
| Lagos | Do a "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<mydrive> bs=1M count=160K" a few times. I think I got the numbers right. | 01:33 |
| Shalak | ty | 01:33 |
| king | i m new at using irc | 01:33 |
| mouka | usser_: sure | 01:33 |
| king | any idea to get help ? | 01:33 |
| rww | badawi: the -server kernel isn't going to explode if you do desktop stuff, but it might not be best performance-wise. | 01:33 |
| Lagos | That will just write your drive over with zeros instead of random data but you won't be bottlenecked by reading from /dev/urandom. | 01:34 |
| Shalak | ok one more question | 01:34 |
| exodus_ms | king> do you need help with ubuntu or help using the irc channel | 01:34 |

| elad_ | Also - how do I completely disable the PC speaker? | 01:35 |
| uc50ic4more | @Shalak: the new kernel played havok w/ some of the web cams I had set up clients with, but other than that i like 8.10 very much | 01:35 |
| Lagos | dd will overwrite the drive with zeroes. I wish there were an equally simple way to overwrite it with all 1s. You could write a program to do it, but I'm lazy. =:) | 01:36 |
| Lagos | Or like a /dev/ones =:) | 01:36 |
| georgy_28 | user__, : don't forget to recompile by a kernel upgrade !! Otherwise it will not work again And I'm a french Belgian ;) | 01:36 |

| prahal_ | so I am looking after a non hal based application so we could tell what s wrong | 01:38 |

| Tetracomm | Any Skype and Ubuntu users in here? | 01:39 |
| dekushrub | tetraconn, yeah | 01:39 |
| uc50ic4more | @Shalak: meaning, if a program's configuration file(s) take on a new format or contain options or configs that were not in the previous versions, going back to 8.04 may render those configs busted | 01:39 |

| Lagos | If you upgrade through apt-get, it will merely install more recent versions of your programs. It will not erase any files. If you install from the LiveCD, there will be an option not to format the drive. | 01:46 |
| uc50ic4more | @Shalak: yes, you should probably back up any and all files that are important to you before any major operation | 01:46 |

| Lagos | Gravemind, if a user has Write permission on a directory they can add files to it. But if they don't have the eXecute bit set on it, they shouldn't be able to list files inside or access their inodes. | 02:05 |
| uc50ic4more | @gravemind: so to have the directory readable and writeable by it's owner (you, presumably) and writeable but NOT readable by other, i am pretty sure you'd chmod /your/directory rwxrwx-wx | 02:05 |
| prahal_ | rellik, see Contact Us on http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ . They need specific inputs to be able to help I hope they will reach upstream soon (with a new shiny v4l2 version of the driver) so you ll have it working out of the box on next kernel upgrade | 02:05 |

| Akeru_Forsamee | hou5ton: Depends on how many apps you want. A usual Ubuntu install takes less than 1gb, and I assume the rest would just depend on how much room you want to work with | 02:12 |
| uc50ic4more | @storrgie: ok, i am pretty sure you're fine as long as you are not behind a router... if you are behind a router, simply forward port 4111 to the IP of your machine | 02:12 |

| exodus_ms | LoveGuru> what ssh cmd are you using 'hostname' 'ip'? are you using any modifiers | 03:04 |
| joeb3_ | LoveGuru, nat allows outbound connections using your host as the source address. Bridging puts the guest on you local network, just like the host. | 03:04 |
| deadlylife | I deleted /var/lib/dpkg | 03:04 |
| deadlylife | Now I can't use apt- | 03:04 |

| Maveas | joeb3_: yes | 03:05 |
| deadlylife | Jack_Sparrow, do you have any ideas about what to do or where I can find a default /var/lib/dpkg? | 03:06 |
| joeb3_ | Maveas, edit the host you want to add mx for. Mail routing is at the bottom. | 03:06 |
| LoveGuru | exodus_ms: well no i dont have that location . becoz i installed my VMware in Windows. and i do have /etc/Vmware-Tools | 03:06 |
| D-MAN | lordrath so if i could restore wine to its default settings i would be good | 03:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | DavidCanarias use the pastebin to post what all you get as output.. and answer my question about HOW you installed it | 03:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | DavidCanarias which version of ubuntu and have you made any changes to your sources list | 03:16 |

| Jack_Sparrow | RequinB4 that is my thought too.. | 03:16 |
| Maveas | I don't get this | 03:17 |
| Oloryn | or he may have done an apt-get from a Terminal | 03:17 |

| freetown | hello all, can I get an official answer on the LTS of Hardy here? | 03:22 |
| scunizi | craigbass1976, no.. but.. I had to use it for my new motherboard.. hardy didn't support the board but intrepid did. knowing that Feisty worked for you and hardy doesn't .. well.. that typically means that if you did the upgrade path something got borked.. if you have a seperate /home you might consider a fresh install of hardy retaining your /home | 03:22 |
| Maveas | joeb3_: have no idea how it does that? :S | 03:22 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: yes, ask away | 03:22 |
| DavidCanarias | RequinB4: Jack_Sparrow: Just suggested that too! Great minds think a lot. What do I type in terminal? As thiebaude: said do I first sudo apt-get remove serpentine? | 03:22 |
| craigbass1976 | RequinB4, perhaps I need a reboot. Where's the tut you speak of? | 03:22 |
| joeb3_ | Maveas, that's how you put it in, or your router. Change it on the dyndns page. | 03:22 |

| freetown | RequinB4, s/no/new/ | 03:25 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: Hardy gets security updates but the other software in the repositories (ie the stuff you'll get your software from unless you know what you're doing) is all dated to 6 months ago | 03:25 |
| joeb3_ | Maveas, not - now | 03:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | chmac, check the forums for that card.. would be the best way.. there is also a hardware compatibility list somewhere.. hold on I will see if I can dig it up for you | 03:25 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mchelen how often can a nasty crash occur.. depends on the user. read the wubi fac carefully and the problem is mentioned | 03:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mchelen, because booting from a cd is too difficult :/ I dont think so... I would rather not leave my comp b0rked from wubi thanks... the livecd is too easy | 03:36 |

| Paddy_EIRE | mchelen, if they are silly enough to use wubi then come here for support I see it as a waste of time as we *Will Not* cover both OS's for support | 03:37 |
| DavidCanarias | exodus_ms: No comment to my earlier remarks? | 03:37 |
| Maveas | joeb3_: do I have to pay for that service? :S | 03:37 |

| freetown | RequinB4, I'm rolling out Hardy because it is the nearest thing to a LTS distro that supports kvm, virtio on Windows, and proprietary Nvidia drivers | 03:38 |
| freetown | RequinB4, school desktops | 03:38 |
| Parvo | i like the Nvidia drivers | 03:38 |
| exodus_ms | DavidCanarias> not my battle or the place to discuss, just remember that everyone here that helps does so on a volunteer basis, telling someone you appreciate only part of their help is rude | 03:38 |
| joeb3_ | LoveGuru, no changes. Just use an ip address on the same subnet as the host. | 03:38 |
| mchelen | Paddy_EIRE, booting livecd might be a better suggestion, is it easy enough for any user to set up a dual boot with windows from there? | 03:39 |
| joeb3_ | exodus_ms, I was told the check was in the mail. | 03:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mchelen, yes very | 03:39 |
| freetown | RequinB4, about that supported for a few more months...you don't mean it won't get updated CDs/repos after that do you? | 03:39 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: the lesson is, you don't have to worry about things in an LTS release until its no longer supported. The only thing you don't get is newer versions of non-essenial programs | 03:39 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: yes | 03:39 |
| LoveGuru | joeb3_: tx. | 03:40 |
| freetown | RequinB4, ouch...so...the list of non-essential programs is rather important to a point then heh.... | 03:40 |
| exodus_ms | joeb3_> yeah, and I have some ocean front property in arizona i would like to sell ya :) | 03:40 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: I would get ibex ifyou plan on having a big wireless network, but that's about it | 03:40 |
| thiebaude | lol | 03:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freetown anything that is very popular gets backported. | 03:40 |
| joeb3_ | Maveas, I just tried it with my account and it does not work. (mx) Maybe they are charging for it now. | 03:40 |
| freetown | RequinB4, nah, my problem is supporting Windows guests in KVM until I can blow their need away | 03:40 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: it's more important to figure out of if your boxes will work on hardy or not by what's on the boxes instead of looking at the changelog | 03:40 |

| aprilhare | hey: i ant to disk image a harddisk which has a 32 bit install of ubuntu and overwrite it with 64 bit windoze vista. the first step is to backup the 32 bit installation (it still has files i want). how do I diskimage it? | 03:43 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: do some research on libvirt, though, the hardy version seems kind of inferior | 03:43 |
| DavidCanarias | exodus-ms: I do know everyone does this on a voluntary basis and I hope to do the same one day. Everyones great here helping one another, but honestly I don't think my comment was rude. The person concerned helped me up to a certain point and I appreciated that as always!!! My intention was not to be rude under any circumstances OK? | 03:43 |
| freetown | RequinB4, yeah...that is my main bone at the moment | 03:43 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/190904 | 03:43 |
| freetown | RequinB4, it needs a newer version to work with virtio i believe...running kvm from the command line at the moment to get what i want | 03:44 |
| exodus_ms | DavidCanarias> cool | 03:44 |
| Jack_ | \Kira it's the 64bit verison of ubuntu. A 64bit OS. | 03:44 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: then i guess you have your answer | 03:45 |
| exodus_ms | DavidCanarias> have you pastebin your sources.list yet? | 03:45 |
| \Kira | Jack_: yeah, but what does the time for? Whats happening relating ubuntu64 in 20 min? | 03:45 |
| RequinB4 | freetown: keep in mind if you REALLY want hardy you can compile your own versions, but that might be tedious quickly | 03:45 |
| freetown | RequinB4, well, i was hopin LTS would also mean getting newer versions of libvirt :-D | 03:45 |

| freetown | is there an init scritp that will save current iptable rules and load them up on startup? | 03:57 |
| Lagos | There's a question. If I have multiple writers using a file descriptor opened with O_APPEND, will it be safe? My suspicion is it depends on the File System. I think it won't be safe over NFS. | 03:57 |

| DavidCanarias | Jack_Sparrow: I hear clearly what you are saying, but I am clueless as to how would I even begin to do that. I thought upgrading to Intrepid would help avoid some of the problems I have been having, but it seems to have created another one. I am thinking of going over to Linux Mint, maybe it would be easier for me (only because I am a newbie) to delete Intrepid and install Mint from a CD. ????? What do you think and thanks again f | 03:58 |

| Pelo | freetown, sorry wrong nick | 04:13 |
| ziroday | Joshooa: upgrading them how? | 04:13 |
| freetown | freetown, np | 04:13 |

| Pelo | freetown, I mean I had the wrong nick I thought you were the guy with the printer question | 04:14 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: It doesn't. When I click on the GIMP icon from Programs > Graphics, it doesn't load. I get the "Starting GIMP etc" message at the bottom of the screen as though it is about to work, then that goes and nothing happens. | 04:14 |
| freetown | Pelo, sure, no problem | 04:14 |
| jon5000 | xane? | 04:14 |
| jon5000 | no i have not | 04:14 |

| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: ah sorry, was not aware of that. And running gimp from the terminal produces an errors? | 04:15 |
| Pelo | jon5000, sudo apt-get install xane | 04:15 |

| === dmsuperman is now known as the_world | ||

| ziroday | Pelo: jon5000 the program name is xsane and it is installed by default | 04:15 |
| Pelo | ziroday, thank you for the correction | 04:15 |

| aprilhare | how do I create an ISO image file of a harddisk partition using ubuntu? I want to disk image an old ubuntu 32 bit installation :) | 04:15 |
| slimg00dy | He should be able to access his scanner if its installed in CUPS through Xsane. | 04:16 |
| Joshooa | ziroday: But I've tried using Restricted Driver Manager and I can switch from 177 and 172 but it doesn't matter, glxinfo | grep rendering brings back no. | 04:16 |
| Pelo | later folks | 04:16 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: right, well you should be at version 2.6 of gimp not 2.2. Try do sudo apt-get remove gimp and then reinstall it. | 04:17 |
| Lunis | ok so real quick, how can i calculate how big i can make a partition and keep it within the first 1024 cylinders? | 04:17 |

| jon5000 | hmm. terminal says i already have xsane. where do i find it/how do i use it? | 04:17 |
| ziroday | Joshooa: right, well can you please remove the drivers you installed from the nvidia website and install the ones via Hardware Drivers | 04:17 |
| slimg00dy | Applications/Graphics. | 04:17 |
| arrayrand | is it possible for me to detect if someone accessed my pc via a live ubuntu cd? | 04:17 |
| ziroday | jon5000: or you can just type in xsane | 04:17 |
| jon5000 | found it. opened it. "no devices available" | 04:18 |
| Joshooa | ziroday: I did that | 04:18 |
| slimg00dy | Arrayrand: If someone accessed your PC remotely or locally? | 04:18 |
| ziroday | Joshooa: so correct me If I wrong, you are now running the drivers from the ubuntu repo's and not custom installed ones? | 04:18 |
| arrayrand | locally | 04:19 |
| Joshooa | ziroday: Correct | 04:19 |
| Joshooa | ziroday: and wine tells me API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 177.80,but this NVIDIA driver component has version 177.82. | 04:19 |
| arrayrand | i run windows xp. However, i want to detect if my pc was accessed via live ubuntu cd. | 04:19 |
| ziroday | Joshooa: and you are certain you have removed the nvidia drivers from the site | 04:19 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Removed and then installed gimp again... Typed in gimp in terminal, and the same thing occurs | 04:20 |
| athena | hehe | 04:20 |
| Joshooa | ziroday: Well, I did sh to install them, and then used restricted driver manager and selected to use the other ones again, so they are re-enabled. Other than deleted the original file from nvidia I don't know how to uninstall the other drivers | 04:20 |
| booksbuggy | is there any way of disabling the ink test page? | 04:20 |

| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: That is correct... When I try to open gimp through the Applications > Graphics menu, it shows up at the bottom with the "Starting GIMP" message/status thing, then it goes, and nothing happens, the program doesn't open. If I just type in 'gimp' into the terminal, I get the 2.2 installation window thing. | 04:29 |

| slimg00dy | arrayrand: "arrayrand: is it possible for me to detect if someone accessed my pc via a live ubuntu cd?" Remotely, yes, even though you're not using your HDD, your running on RAM which doesn't any any other security measure, least I don't think. So it should be just as easy to get in, however doing any damage is probably not possible because there is no logical disk the OS is running on. | 04:31 |
| trav | so I did sudo /usr/sbin/nm-applet | 04:31 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Yes, yesterday I believe, in an attempt to solve the problem I am having - I downloaded the 2.4 packages and installed them manually. | 04:31 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Could that be causing the problem? | 04:31 |
| trav | and configured using the gnome nm-applet, didn't work | 04:31 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: very likey, and I presume you are running intrepid? | 04:32 |
| nintendork32 | !daemon | 04:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about daemon | 04:32 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: is it possible for you to see that, probably not, unless you have firestarter running and checking your connections. | 04:32 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, i think you are misunderstanding me. I run windows xp. However, i want to know if someone accessed my pc via live linux cd. | 04:32 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: I am now, yes. I just finished the upgrade about twenty minutes ago... I upgraded hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. | 04:32 |
| gleesond | anyone know a tool for remaping the quick launch key on an eee pc? | 04:33 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: Oh, that's different, the only way to see that is through your firewall, even if someone is running a live cd and access's your computer via internet, they're still going to have an ip address, but its hard to tell if they did it through a live cd. | 04:33 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: hmm, I recommend you sudo apt-get purge gimp and all gimp related programs and then manually delete all gimp files you can find. | 04:34 |
| arquebus | gleesond- #eeepc is a good freenode channel for that | 04:34 |

| slimg00dy | point* | 04:35 |
| joeb3_ | trav, that's the manual way. no gui | 04:35 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: so it would be impossible to trace that. | 04:36 |
| trav | joeb3_ no that gets logged when I try and connect using the gnome network manager | 04:36 |

| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: have you searched and made sure you removed all gimp files. Like the ones in your home dir and /etc/gimp? | 04:38 |
| daedhel | hi there | 04:39 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: If it could do that I doubt it would log which files have been copied, I think that feature is just meant to be there to see which device was last connected when the OS crashed. | 04:39 |
| daedhel | is there anyone knowing thunar, wich is XCFE4's file manager? | 04:39 |
| Delicates | Anyone knows what ulimits does the init process have and where they are defined? | 04:40 |

| shaze | I beg and plead to all you great all-knowing geeks, I have a Grub related question, may I ask questions here? | 04:40 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Not yet, but I will be doing that once I have finished removing all the packages, before I try reinstalling | 04:40 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: please :) | 04:40 |
| daedhel | ziroday; they are dead... | 04:40 |
| ziroday | daedhel: you just have to wait | 04:40 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, yes, but if i saw a usb device was connected, then i know someone accessed the computer.. | 04:41 |
| shaze | Hello? Can I please ask a Grub/XP-MBR related question here? | 04:41 |
| shirro | is there a better channel to ask about bluetooth mouse breakage in intrepid? | 04:41 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, so my question is. do you think this data is being pulled from a windows log file? | 04:41 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: If that recovery utility recorded something that didn't need the Windows OS to boot I doubt its from the windows log file. | 04:42 |
| ASrock | yep | 04:42 |
| Some_Person | Why is GParted on the hardy live cd not seeing the partitions on my drive? | 04:42 |
| crabgrass | hi, i'd like to rip a DVD directly to a single, large .vob, but the dvd uses angles and vobcopy can't handle those. anyone know of another way to do this? | 04:43 |
| ASrock | Some_Person: what kind of drive? what filesystems? | 04:43 |
| Some_Person | Some kind of SATA drive. Nautilus sees the partitions. | 04:43 |
| Some_Person | Has some NTFS drives, an ext3 drive, and a swapspace | 04:43 |
| mchelen | crabgrass, proabably you do not want 1 big vob, and any dvd player should accept the original file layout | 04:44 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, i didn't say it did. | 04:44 |
| Some_Person | But GParted claims it is just one big unallocated drive. | 04:44 |

| crabgrass | mchelen: no, i do. im going to use mencoder to get it down to a manageable size once i get it ripped | 04:44 |
| jon5000 | ubotto: thanks for the links. through them i was able to find a link to a deb file that brother put out specifically for my scanner. installed it, but still not recognized. perhaps this has to do with the fact its wireless? | 04:44 |
| Some_Person | I am trying to do some partition editing. | 04:44 |

| necro_ | ubuntu hangs | 04:46 |
| Some_Person | ASrock: nautilus is the ubuntu file manager | 04:47 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, no. However, it could be accessing log files which were on the harddrive.. ? | 04:47 |
| IdleOne | sunil_, prefs>appearance | 04:47 |
| ASrock | Some_Person: try qparted im not posotive but i think its available with synaptic | 04:47 |

| arrayrand | Actually, if i remember correctly, it looks like it was accessing the special partition created by the utility for reformatting. It seemed to be a file which had accrued all the data. | 04:47 |
| Some_Person | Any idea why GParted is not working though? | 04:48 |
| threatrix | can someone help me with an issue im having with an external hard drive | 04:48 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: So, I should remove EVERY single file that is related to GIMP? | 04:48 |
| mchelen | crabgrass, it looks like vobcopy does not support multi-angle | 04:48 |
| crabgrass | mchelen: indeed. know of a similar program that does? | 04:48 |
| sunil_ | IdleOne: Durn. I tried that, and the screen flashed for a moment. Then I got a message that just said "Desktop Effects Cannot be enabled". | 04:48 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: obvious files yes, if not sure ask. Removing the /etc/gimp and ~/.gimp-2.4 are a good start | 04:48 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: If that recovery utiilty doesn't need the OS to boot that means it runs right after post, so if someone did connect the USB then it would detect it, but since it doesn't record whether it pulled files or not, I doub there's any other way to see if that's act was done. | 04:49 |
| Some_Person | So do I need QtParted, or can we get GParted working? | 04:49 |
| sunil_ | Damn - I just got a new card because I wanted the desktop effects. | 04:49 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: there aren't many programs that run after post and before OS boot that could do such logging. | 04:49 |
| slimg00dy | doubt* | 04:49 |
| nintendork32 | i sudo apt-get install daemon to hopefully make daemon running easier, how do i use it? | 04:50 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, so you are saying there aren't windows log files which the utility could be accessing on the harddrive? | 04:50 |
| mchelen | crabgrass, there a lot, check out http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/547667 | 04:50 |

| trav | what's the best linux drive imaging program? | 04:51 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: No, because windows was not booted when live cd's are running, so registry, drivers, services, nothing was running from the Windows OS, it was just off. | 04:51 |
| trav | anything file based like ImageX? | 04:51 |

| mchelen | crabgrass, ok cool, i have heard good thing about dvd::rip too | 04:53 |
| nickrud | Some_Person, a silly question maybe, but is the partition(s) you're working with unmounted? | 04:53 |
| Some_Person | "Critical error during ped_disk_new!" | 04:53 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Alright. Well, I did a search for gimp in Nautilus, and I am getting a lot of repeat file names, ie: gimp20.mo gimp20-libgimp.co and gimp20-script-fu.mo. The files are in the usr/local/share/locale/**Various Abbreviations here**/LC_MESSAGES folders, and then just a load of image files and HTML files. | 04:53 |
| Some_Person | No partitions are showing up in GParted | 04:53 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, i understand that in order for the device to be detected, the utility can't rely on windows log files if it was connected via a live cd. However, i'm simply trying to determine if the utility aggregates its data via windows log files or independently. Then, once that is determined, i can know if the device was connected or not. Regardless if it was within the windows operating system. | 04:53 |
| Some_Person | And yes, nothing is mounted | 04:53 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: you can remove those. If not sure then rename them to something else | 04:54 |
| crabgrass | mchelen: ach, just tried that one. waaay too much hassle, i'd just like a command-line program. once i figure out how to do something, i make little bash scripts to do it for me, and GUIs dont work too well for that =D | 04:54 |
| kranny | msg <nick> help | 04:54 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: There is also a gimp.applications and gimp.keys text file | 04:54 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, so my question to you, is it possible this utility is in fact simply pulling data form a windows log file? Within the utility, it contains alot of other data about my operating system, so i would presume so. all the way down to installed programs, etc. | 04:54 |
| nickrud | Some_Person, I had a problem once with a disk, where gparted showed nothing. sudo fdisk -l told me my disk partition tables were fubar'd. Maybe you'll get a useful error message also | 04:54 |

I used to boot and see the refit menu, and if I select Linux it would take me to GRUB and I would boot from there. 4. I deleted my swap and moved & resized my Linux partition and I created an NTFS partition in the free space. 5. Then when I booted I saw refIT menu, I selected Linux, but all I would see is "GRUB" and | 05:04 |
| slimg00dy | arrayrand: For example, if you had a Live version of Linux on your USB drive, and ran that before windows started, would it log that the USB drive was loaded? | 05:04 |
| Some_Person | Any fix for my problem? | 05:04 |
| Lagos | Do you have a chance to hit 'e' or some other key, louzer? It sounds like grub's menu.lst might be referencing partitions whose numbers have changed. | 05:05 |
| jeet | hi | 05:05 |
| arrayrand | slimg00dy, i'm not sure. I only have on drive, and it was showing up as detected. however, it was already connected, but it looked like an old usb drive of mine was showing up as well which was not currently connected. | 05:05 |

| slimg00dy | arrayrand: Though windows log files won't tell you if there was a transfer in the process. | 05:08 |

| btoogood | JulioNeto what version of ff do you have | 05:18 |
| sysrpl | hey all | 05:18 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: clears all those .deb files. They are cached there so if you remove and then reinstall something you don't have to redownload it | 05:18 |
| tin | Lord`Saladin: run apt-get with no args to get a help screen | 05:18 |
| JulioNeto | slimg00dy, EVERYTHING | 05:19 |
| nickrud | JulioNeto, a willingness to not see most flash content | 05:19 |
| tin | clean - Erase downloaded archive files | 05:19 |
| dn_ | nickrud: thanks | 05:19 |
| JulioNeto | btoogood, 3.0.4 | 05:19 |
| dn_ | anyway, it's rather late | 05:19 |
| dn_ | night all, thanks for the help | 05:19 |
| prohna | fresh install and whenever i startx i get a resolution of 1360x768 even though the highest option i have in xorg is 1024x768 | 05:19 |
| btoogood | JulioNeto ok, mine does and runs good | 05:19 |
| keithclark | ok, another system....how to get microsoft digital sound system USB to work? | 05:19 |
| prohna | i can use xrandr and change it to 1024 no problem but it doesnt stay if i restart x | 05:19 |
| slimg00dy | JulioNeto: Don't have gnash installed while having the Adobe .Deb installed, they cancel each other out, least they did for me. | 05:19 |
| JulioNeto | btoogood, but I'm in Hardy | 05:19 |
| JulioNeto | :/ | 05:19 |
| btoogood | JulioNeto yip so am I | 05:20 |
| JulioNeto | slimg00dy, I have done everything | 05:20 |
| louzer | Is (hd0,2) same as /dev/sda2 ? | 05:20 |
| dinx | morning | 05:20 |
| JulioNeto | btoogood, :/ | 05:20 |
| JulioNeto | btoogood, the 10 one? | 05:20 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Thanks for that one. Also, it says the following are suggested packages: gimp-help-en gimp-help libgimp-perl gimp-data-extras - Should I also install those afterwards? | 05:20 |
| nickrud | louzer, no, that would be sda3 (the hd0 starts counting at 0, sda at 1) | 05:21 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: you don't have to, but you can if you want to | 05:21 |
| btoogood | JulioNeto yip i did a fresh install, used the repo list from another site and did a apt-get update then a dist-upgrade a nd installed flash and it worked | 05:21 |
| louzer | nickrud: thanks | 05:21 |
| keithclark | ok, thanks for listening. | 05:21 |
| slimg00dy | JulioNeto: So I assume you've also installed the flashplugin-nonfree? | 05:22 |
| nickrud | keithclark, welcome to the wonderful world of linux sound. Much better than the past, but still a problem | 05:22 |
| keithclark | nickrud, not a problem. | 05:22 |
| keithclark | nickrud, still dual booting | 05:22 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark: Problem solved? | 05:22 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, nope. | 05:23 |
| JulioNeto | slimg00dy, yes | 05:23 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, nah, sounds like he's found a usable hack ;) | 05:23 |
| prohna | fresh install and whenever i startx i get a resolution of 1360x768 even though the highest option i have in xorg is 1024x768 | 05:23 |
| JulioNeto | btoogood, oh! could you tell what site is it? | 05:23 |
| nickrud | prohna, how about posting a link to the xorg.conf? | 05:24 |
| btoogood | JulioNeto www.ubuntuguide.org/ | 05:24 |
| prohna | nickrud: where could i upload it? | 05:24 |
| nickrud | prohna, http://paste.ubuntu.com | 05:24 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark, nickrud: Give me a moment, I have a nice tutorial I used to solve my sound problems when Ubuntu started using Pulse. | 05:24 |
| ZCool | ÓÐÖйúÈË£¿ | 05:24 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, no way to just switch back? | 05:25 |
| prohna | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/80691/ | 05:25 |
| Roasted | Using Samba, how fast are the average transfer speeds from 1 computer to another on a LAN? | 05:25 |
| prohna | btw this paste thing is very cool | 05:25 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, I've been very lucky with sound; first I had a card that did hardware mixing (stuck with that for years) and now I have an hda that actually has decent config already | 05:25 |
| bzerk1 | hey, Ive recently installed 8.10, I use a VX Nano mouse and sometimes in firefox the rightclick of the mouse does weird things with links. Has anyone else found this happening to them? | 05:26 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark: Not that I'm aware of, but to be fair, once you have pulse working, it is much better than ALSA; it just takes a fair bit of playing around to work. In my experience anyway. Here is the link, though: http://www.blog.arun-prabha.com/2008/05/23/skype-microphone-problem-and-complete-pulse-audio-setup-in-ubuntu/ | 05:26 |
| nickrud | prohna, your definition is off; a sec while I refresh my memory (Depth 1 is wrong for sure) | 05:26 |
| nickrud | prohna, probably just needs to be 24 | 05:27 |
| Lord`Saladin | Keithclark, nickrud: That worked for me, and I believe it includes installing the Pulse Audio Device Chooser which is a great tool. | 05:27 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, Thanks, but way too complicated for me. | 05:27 |
| Saga_ | I'm having issues with CheckGmail apps. Apparently GMail changed their API -- Does CheckGMail work for anybody else here? (Hosted Domain!) | 05:27 |
| Lagos | Linuxlover, my apologies. I was thinking of the BSD tool. | 05:27 |
| btoogood | i have one problem with 8.10 it doesnt allow me to connect to the internet at all, not even through the live cd. But no problems with any other version only 8.10 | 05:27 |
| bzerk1 | Saga_, Yes it works for me. | 05:27 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark: Nah, you'll be fine... Just follow it step by step. I will PM you my IM details, if you like; in case you have any problems? | 05:27 |
| Saga_ | bzerk1, Version 1.13 ? | 05:28 |
| Roasted | no samba users here???? | 05:28 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, Simpler to reboot into windows. Thanks though! | 05:28 |
| bzerk1 | actually, no 1.12* | 05:28 |
| prohna | nickrud: for some reason this exact xorg.conf worked fine with the install i just installed over | 05:28 |
| bzerk1 | Saga_, I used apt-get to install it | 05:28 |
| prohna | only difference is that this is ubuntu server with just fluxbox install | 05:28 |
| Saga_ | Did you ever try the newest 1.13? | 05:28 |
| bzerk1 | nope sorry | 05:28 |
| nickrud | prohna, just changing default 1 to default 24 should do the job; the Default depth looks for 24 | 05:28 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark: That as may be... But wouldn't you rather use Ubuntu? That guide doesn't actually take too long to do, in all fairness; and I'm still a relative newbie to Linux | 05:29 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, I use Ubuntu for everything but sound. | 05:29 |
| prohna | nickrud: alright gonna restart x | 05:29 |
| prohna | nickrud: thank you | 05:30 |
| bzerk1 | Anyone else had problems with the vx nano and firefox under ubuntu 8.10? | 05:30 |
| btoogood | bzerk1 i have with my ethernet | 05:31 |
| nickrud | prohna, it'd been so long since I did an xorg.conf file here, a nice flash from the past ;) | 05:31 |
| bzerk1 | btoogood, a Logitech VX Nano mouse? | 05:31 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark: Well, use it for sound too... I'll give you some help as well, should you get stuck. The dude that wrote that tutorial was good - it all was very easy to follow. | 05:31 |
| prohna | nickrud: this computer doesnt have a video card that ubuntu will see | 05:31 |
| Lagos | date --date='1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC + <number of seconds>' should work for you. | 05:31 |
| btoogood | bzerk1 nope | 05:31 |
| prohna | so every install i do i have to mess with xorg to get things working | 05:31 |
| nickrud | prohna, ah, nice old stuff then | 05:32 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, where to start for just sound support? | 05:32 |
| ekontsevoy | WTF: nslookup resolves a name just fine, but ssh says 'name unknown': http://pastie.org/331603 | 05:32 |
| Roasted | Any Samba Users????? | 05:32 |
| Lagos | date --date='1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC + <number of seconds>' +%T | 05:32 |
| xenoterracid1 | ubuntu have an actual IRC client installed by default? | 05:32 |
| arya | haiiii | 05:32 |
| xenoterracid1 | !update | 05:32 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:32 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, you know what? I read it over, it involves make things and other advanced stuff. Not for me | 05:33 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, sorry. Thanks though. When Linux becomes easier, I shall be there. | 05:33 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, interesting blog that; I've not gotten the mic to work. Wonder if it's adaptable to intrepid. I may experiment with it. | 05:33 |
| lovinglinux | Lagos: thanks a lot. I found an example in the web...date -d '2008-12-05 <seconds> sec' +"%Y-%m-%d %T" | 05:33 |
| nickrud | xenoterracid1, pidgin does irc, but I prefer xchat | 05:34 |
| Lord`Saladin | keithclark: Alright, no worries. | 05:34 |
| B0BBY | Hello People. | 05:34 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, gotta get things easier! | 05:34 |
| Roasted | Anybody here use clonezilla? | 05:34 |
| kindofabuzz | i have WP installed on my home server, but when it sends mail out it sends internally. do i just need to sed up a mail server or something? | 05:34 |
| xenoterracid1 | nickrud: yeah I'm using pidgin, didn't see xchat in programs | 05:34 |
| xenoterracid1 | how do I get a 'run' prompt in gnome | 05:34 |
| bzerk1 | xenoterracid1, remove xchat-gnome and apt-get install xchat | 05:34 |
| xenoterracid1 | it's alt-f2 in kde | 05:35 |
| nickrud | xenoterracid1, same | 05:35 |
| keithclark | Lord`Saladin, Otherwise, Windows works just fine. | 05:35 |
| Saga_ | bzerk1, Do you, by any chance, know where profile for CheckGmail stored on? | 05:35 |
| nickrud | xenoterracid1, if you don't see xchat in synaptic, you need to enable some repos | 05:35 |
| prohna | in fluxbox alt-f2 minimizes all windows | 05:35 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | 05:35 |
| ubottu | In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 05:35 |
| E4emacs4 | just think of terminal as a Enormously, advanced "run box" ;) | 05:35 |
| nickrud | xenoterracid1, those instructions work for intrepid also | 05:35 |
| bzerk1 | Saga_, no sorry.. What is the problem you are having? | 05:35 |
| prohna | xenoterracid1: i always keep irssi installed just in case as well | 05:35 |
| Saga_ | bzerk1, I'm trying to sign in using hosted domain name. | 05:35 |
| prohna | if i have issues and cant say get into x i can try and get here and find help | 05:35 |
| Roasted | Come on, somebody. Clonezilla. Who's used it? | 05:36 |
| Saga_ | I ran the command with -hosted=blah.org | 05:36 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Yeah, I got it to work first time for me using that blog... It was a good guide. And I don't see why it shouldn't work on Intrepid... Only thing I can see that would pose a problem was if the ppa repos haven't been updated. | 05:36 |
| Saga_ | Seems like I should delete the profile first... probably. | 05:36 |
| bzerk1 | Saga_, not a gmail.com address then? | 05:36 |
| Saga_ | bzerk1, No. Hosted domain. | 05:36 |
| bzerk1 | hrm.. Not sure then | 05:36 |
| Lagos | Ah! I once used it briefly for a research project, Roasted. A friend was trying to do file system code formal verification. We looked into using it to capture on disk state. | 05:36 |
| B0BBY | having an issue with sound-juicer. Output format doesn't show mp3. But profile shows mp3. | 05:37 |
| Lagos | But we abandoned it when we found simpler solutions. | 05:37 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: And maybe a change of package names in Intrepid. But, I think it'll work fine if you just check the repo he gives near the beginning | 05:37 |
| castillo | is there any artwix fonts in repository?? | 05:37 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, yeah. I expect most packages are still around, but the sound ones can change radically between releases | 05:37 |
| kes0 | Hello iam banned on ubuntu-se can someone help me pls? | 05:37 |
| Jack_ | I just installed ubuntu without the bootloader. What do I type in to boot my install from the LiveCD? | 05:37 |
| nickrud | kes0, ask in #ubuntu-irc | 05:37 |
| kes0 | I was just telling a joke in ther :p | 05:37 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Ah. I see. | 05:37 |
| kes0 | Ok thx | 05:37 |
| Roasted | Lagos - I'm confused over something. I'm currently trying to use it on the spare computer behind me that I borrowed from work. I'm trying to make an image of my XP install with all of our work programs on it. But it keeps saying the disk is somehow mounted and must be unmounted to work. Yet, I manually unmount it in the command line and it STILL gives me the same error. | 05:38 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: I installed GIMP again, also installed the suggested packages, and I am getting the exact same problem still. | 05:38 |
| JulioNeto | ttks :D Otacon22 | 05:38 |
| JulioNeto | sorry | 05:38 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: When I try through both the menu and terminal | 05:39 |
| xenoterracid1 | update manager won't do a dist upgrade will it? | 05:39 |
| Lagos | Debugging is the art of trying to tell a story and finding where the story went wrong. Some immediate things I would try: run 'mount' without arguments and be sure that it doesn't appear. Make sure I'm using Clonezilla in the right way--Am I trying to clone the correct partition? Am I accidentally telling it to WRITE to a mounted partition? | 05:39 |
| ridha | Hello peeps, I have a simple question: I have a 1 TB hard drive that I used to store data on in Windows, how can I use this hard drive and the data therein with a fresh ubuntu install? I'm new to Linux :( | 05:39 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, what errors? And, when you uninstalled gimp, did you get all it's packages? | 05:39 |
| xenoterracid1 | 'cause dell didn't give me a reinstall disk and I don't feel like fixing things now | 05:39 |
| mker | I use openssh-server for sftp, is there a way to see what is being downloaded? any log? | 05:40 |
| PeterFA | I have a friend who just installed Ubuntu and she has a screen resolution of only 800x600. | 05:40 |
| PeterFA | How do I enable the higher reses? | 05:40 |
| prohna | lots of fun | 05:40 |
| nickrud | PeterFA, what kind of video card does she have? | 05:40 |
| tonyyarusso | !fixres | PeterFA - this might help | 05:40 |
| ubottu | PeterFA - this might help: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 05:40 |
| ridha | would anyone be available to assist with a storage related query? | 05:41 |
| Fear | vlc worked for running my .avi file (mpeg 1 layer 4), ty odd-rationale, Idleone and the rest of those with advice | 05:41 |
| mker | ridha, you won't find out unless you tell us what it is you need help with | 05:41 |
| nickrud | Fear, then you should be able to play it with mplayer if you get the w32codecs, and totem if you get the gstreamer plugins | 05:41 |
| ridha | I'll go again :) | 05:41 |
| ridha | vlc worked for running my .avi file (mpeg 1 layer 4), ty odd-rationale, Idleone and the rest of those with advice | 05:42 |

| ridha | uhh, thats not it | 05:42 |
| nickrud | ridha, just using the up arrow should page though your previous lines ;) | 05:42 |
| xenoterracid1 | !update | 05:42 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:42 |
| prohna | nickrud: im having weird artifacts on screen like parts of windows that disapear when i move the mouse over them | 05:42 |
| ridha | I have a 1 TB drive that I used to stote data in my Windows OS. How can I use this HD and the data in it with uBuntu 8.10? | 05:43 |
| ridha | will it be visible as a HD like it would in Windows, and can I access all the data on it freely? | 05:43 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Yeah, I got all the packages... And the problem I'm having is that when I try to open GIMP through the Applications > Graphics menu, it comes up with the "Starting GIMP" window thing at the bottom of the screen, and then when it goes away, nothing happens and GIMP doesn't open. Then, if I try to open GIMP through the terminal, I get a "GIMP 2.2 Installation" screen, which isn't right, of course, as I should be | 05:43 |
| Lord`Saladin | on the new version as I'm on Intrepid. | 05:43 |
| [Sarai] | Hi! I have an HP pavillion tz2000x running Ubuntu (intrepid) and I'm having an issue with the sound. It beeps a lot, but other than that it does not play sound- i.e. no music, etc. I think it must be a driver issue but I'm not sure what to do | 05:43 |
| Neurologic | ridha, If it's internal, it will be visible under the Nautilis or Dolphin system, to mount it automatically | 05:43 |
| Lord`Saladin | ridha: Yes, you should be able to. Someone correct me is NTFS support still isn't native. | 05:43 |
| ridha | if it is, then there shouldn't be an issue I think | 05:44 |
| Neurologic | Lord`Saladin, no it is, I move things back and forth between windows and linux all the time | 05:44 |
| E4emacs4 | [Sarai], its prolly more of a Pulseaudio server issue | 05:44 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, you got libgimp2.0 and gimp-data on your purge? | 05:44 |
| Neurologic | It is, don't worry =) | 05:44 |
| Lagos | I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I believe by default, Saladin, NTFS support is available but not for writing. | 05:44 |
| [Sarai] | E4emacs4: what can I do? | 05:44 |
| ridha | so if I connect my sata 1tb drive to my ubuntu install, it will be recognized and usable instantly? | 05:44 |
| PeterFA | VGA compatible controller: nVidia GeForce 7150M <-- nickrud | 05:45 |
| Lord`Saladin | ridha, I believe so... Let me double check for you. | 05:45 |
| Neurologic | Ridha, gods willing ;) Yes it /should/. | 05:45 |
| ridha | thank you | 05:45 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: I believe I did. | 05:45 |
| E4emacs4 | ask the gurus here about that [Sarai] , i did it the 'noob' way and just disabled pulse audio lol, prolly not recommended :) | 05:45 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, you'd have to name them explicitly | 05:45 |
| E4emacs4 | what ever works eh? | 05:45 |
| [Sarai] | E4emacs4: I should note I'm a linux n00b, I don't know what a pulse audio /is/! Have a recomendation for a guru to ask? | 05:46 |
| xenoterracid1 | where can I manage windowing effects (compiz) | 05:46 |
| nickrud | PeterFA, try system->admin->hardware drivers, and enabling that driver. | 05:46 |
| nickrud | !ccsm | xenoterracid1 | 05:46 |
| ubottu | xenoterracid1: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 05:46 |
| E4emacs4 | nope [Sarai] just ask, if someone knows they'll reply :) | 05:46 |
| [Sarai] | Okay | 05:46 |
| xenoterracid1 | nickrud: I think they're installed where are the appearance settings | 05:47 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Seems I didn't do a purge for them... the packages were removed automatically, according to the terminal output though. | 05:47 |
| [Sarai] | Uh, question for the floor then. I apparently have a problem with my pulse audio server on my HP pavillion tx2000z computer running Ubuntu. I cannot get it to make sounds other than beeping. Is there a solution and can you frame it in works my linux n00b mind can wrap itself around? | 05:47 |
| nickrud | xenoterracid1, system->prefs->advanced desktop settings, or something like that (not installed here, but it starts with advanced ;) | 05:47 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, ah, aptitude? | 05:48 |
| Drstroker | hi i had a question, running backtrack 3 based on ubuntu, how do i go about getting the video to work on my dell latitude xt, i'm in console but can't startx i've got a ATI® Integrated Graphics Radeon Xpress 1250 | 05:48 |
| Neurologic | !ubottu Pulseaudio | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:48 |
| Neurologic | Oop, lol | 05:48 |
| [Sarai] | lol | 05:48 |
| Neurologic | !Pulseaudio | 05:48 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 05:48 |
| Neurologic | !ESD | 05:49 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: I did a sudo apt-get purge gimp | 05:49 |
| ubottu | esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead | 05:49 |
| [Sarai] | thanks, nl, I'll check that out | 05:49 |
| Neurologic | Sorry for bot spam, just wanted some information | 05:49 |
| === ballzee__ is now known as Sinister | ||
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, then you didn't get the others, unless you ran an apt-get autoremove afterwards | 05:49 |
| nickrud | !msgthebot > Neurologic ;))) | 05:49 |
| ubottu | Neurologic, please see my private message | 05:49 |
| PeterFA | nickrud, when she enables it, does she have to restart x? | 05:50 |
| Neurologic | nickrud, thanks =) | 05:50 |
| nickrud | PeterFA, reboot, actually. It uses a new kernel module, the simplest way to activate it is to reboot | 05:50 |
| SpacePaul | help | 05:50 |
| E4emacs4 | [Sarai], did sounds work in your 8.04? (or is 8.10 your first ubuntu?) If so..what's in 8.10 that you need, that 8.04 doesnt have? *hint 8.04 rocks* and its Long term support :) (LTS) | 05:50 |
| Neurologic | nickrud, Was useful to [Sarai] as well, or I would have, we're trying to figure out her sound problem, except I'm a noob =( | 05:50 |
| Lord`Saladin | ridha: NTFS read/write support is available by default. You just need to do a quick install for the GUI config, which you need to 'activate'the write support. Here is a link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G - And the actual line you need to put into the terminal is: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config | 05:50 |
| [Sarai] | E4emacs4: 8.10 is my first ubuntu and I have been using it for a week max,... | 05:51 |
| ridha | Yay! Thank you (shukran) much Lord'Saladin! | 05:51 |
| nickrud | Neurologic, no problems at all, just poking fun at the bot spam comment | 05:51 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: So, if I do a sudo apt-get purge gimp libgimp2.0 gimp-data and then a sudo apt-get auto-remove afterwards, that should remove everything? | 05:52 |
| nickrud | yes. But if you name them explicitly in the initial purge, you don't need to do the autoremove. | 05:52 |
| E4emacs4 | [Sarai], ok well just incase you cannot get your sound working you could always try the tried and true 8.04, but that would be a last ditch effort. since you already have 8.10 now. | 05:52 |
| Lord`Saladin | ridha: No problems... Sometimes, after you are used to something, you forget what you had to do to get it to work - I guess you take it for granted... But, pleasure to be of help. | 05:52 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Okay. | 05:52 |
| [Sarai] | E4emacs4: oh I should also mention I used WUBI to install it | 05:53 |
| Lord`Saladin | Nickrud: Let me try again. | 05:53 |
| Sareth | I'm looking for infomation on update-initramfs and crypttab. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? | 05:53 |
| E4emacs4 | ok [Sarai] well it kinda slows down around here at this out (they all live in Europe or something ) so just keep asking your question someone will get to you :) | 05:54 |
| [Sarai] | E4emacs4: thanks. I don't want to be a pain | 05:54 |

| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, best one is east coast america, others in europe. LA here. | 05:56 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Ah, I see. I'm in England. | 05:56 |
| Lord`Saladin | So, it is 6am here. | 05:57 |
| Neurologic | Indeed it is. | 05:57 |
| E4emacs4 | hey nick im just north of you central cali | 05:57 |

| Drstroker | any know how i x to work with ATI® Integrated Graphics Radeon Xpress 1250 | 05:57 |
| Lord`Saladin | Neurologic: Nope... I am up late... Been awake all night | 05:57 |
| Neurologic | O_O | 05:57 |
| nickrud | E4emacs4, lived in sacto area. Too hot up there for me ;) | 05:57 |
| Neurologic | I work today, (1 AM here) I can't stay up that late | 05:58 |
| E4emacs4 | aye that it is | 05:58 |
| Lord`Saladin | Neurologic: Ah, that makes sense. I am up so I CAN do some work once this GIMP issue is fixed. | 05:58 |
| nickrud | Drstroker, system->admin->hardware drivers should get you the most up to date driver in ubuntu for your ati | 05:58 |
| E4emacs4 | i was born in Van Nuys nickrud :) | 05:58 |
| ridha | perhaps another question or two before I being installing Ubuntu...I have an EVGA 780i motherboard; will the Driver CD that came with it install all the necessary drivers (binaries?) for ubunto 8.10, or will I need to download and install drivers manually? | 05:58 |
| Sareth | Does anyone know anything about encryption in 8.10? | 05:59 |
| nickrud | ridha, the drivers for it should be in the kernel. You won't be using the ones on the disk that came with the motherboard | 05:59 |
| ridha | excellent, that would be painless...thank you | 05:59 |
| mker | Sareth, just ask what you want to know | 05:59 |
| Lord`Saladin | ridha: It should do... But, the best thing to do is just set up a dual boot for now... That way, you will know if everything works. Is what I did when I first made the move to Ubuntu | 06:00 |
| === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid | ||
| ridha | I want to stay away from dual boot for now, and virtualize other OS's once everything is setup...I have a notebook with XP in the meantime | 06:00 |
| Sareth | I added a drive so naturally I added an entry to crypttab to open it on boot. however update-initramfs says there is an invalid entry in crypttab - | 06:00 |
| Lord`Saladin | ridha: Fair enough. | 06:01 |
| Sinister | anyone good with artwork im looking for a mascot for my web page skunkmilk.com | 06:01 |
| ridha | Suse worked ok when I created a dual boot a while ago, hopefully all will go well again this time :) | 06:01 |
| Sareth | wine 1.0 took aways any need i had anymore for windows | 06:02 |
| Lord`Saladin | Sareth: There's no need for Wine, in my experience. | 06:02 |
| Sareth | anyways, I cant boot normally into my system until I get my crypttab sorted out | 06:02 |
| nexus23 | ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave can someone for the love of god tell me how to fix this nothing on the forums has helped | 06:02 |
| Lord`Saladin | Sareth: There's plenty of software out there that does the exact same as Windows software. | 06:03 |
| nexus23 | and i have nothing open that would be using alsa | 06:03 |
| Sareth | Lord Saladin, Rosetta Stone is why I use it. | 06:03 |
| Ropp | howdy all | 06:03 |
| Ropp | I am trying to install ubuntu and having some trouble | 06:03 |
| Lord`Saladin | Sareth: And unfortunately, I won't be able to help with the crypttab problem, as I don't even know what it is. Lol | 06:03 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ropp, what is the problem? | 06:03 |
| nexus23 | ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | 06:03 |
| nexus23 | what causes this | 06:04 |
| Sareth | Lord`Saladin, thats alright. Im just hoping someone will and while I wait maybe i can help others | 06:04 |
| Cryp71c | Is there anyway of telling which graphics firmware ubuntu 8.1 ships with? On my laptop ubuntu works wonders but w/ other distros it doesn't, and I'd like to find the name of that firmware that's being used. | 06:04 |
| Ropp | well, I select install ubuntu and the progress bar scrolls back and forth then fills about half way- over a period of about five minutes- then I lose video. | 06:04 |
| Ropp | after that not much happens | 06:04 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: No luck... Still opening GIMP 2.2 when I do it from terminal. | 06:05 |
| Sareth | Cryp71c, Its a driver issue. what graphics card do you have | 06:05 |
| Lancelot | what's the port for the transmission bittorrent client? | 06:05 |
| Lancelot | is there a default one? | 06:05 |
| Lancelot | /how do i find mine? | 06:05 |
| timboy | somehow my up arrow got remapped to print... I go to keyboard shortcuts but it shows proper print button... help please | 06:05 |
| Sareth | Lancelot, the best thing is to use a random one. | 06:05 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, very very strange that. try moving your .gimp dir out of the way | 06:05 |
| Lancelot | nevermind ;) | 06:06 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: I did read or hear somewhere about copying your home folder to keep all the settings etc... Any idea how to do that? | 06:06 |
| Ropp | Lord'Saladin: well, I select install ubuntu and the progress bar scrolls back and forth then fills about half way- over a period of about five minutes- then I lose video. | 06:06 |
| bazhang | !home | 06:06 |
| ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 06:06 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, copy all the files and dir's that start with a period from your old home to your new; you may need to chown -R <username>:<username> ~ to change the ownership to the new user | 06:07 |
| nickrud | Lord`Saladin, they're called dotfiles, they are the personal configs | 06:07 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Alright. That's easy enough. | 06:08 |
| mee | can anyone tell me how you make different xchat *profiles*? | 06:08 |
| Lord`Saladin | ropp: I'm not sure, to be entirely honest. | 06:09 |

| mee | how do i run multiple instances of xchat with different proxy settings, as you can run multiple profiles of firefox at the same time with different settings. | 06:10 |
| Lord`Saladin | mee: No idea, to be honest. I've had no reason to run more than one instant of XChat. | 06:11 |
| Lord`Saladin | *instance, rather | 06:11 |
| Keu | mee: why do you need to have different proxy settings? | 06:11 |
| zanberdo_ | it turns out one of my podcasts is now formatted m4a. I'm using rhythmbox as my podcatcher, but evidently I haven't got m4a support. I'm running vanilla ibex atm. Any suggestions for how I can playback m4a formatted audio? | 06:11 |
| mee | Keu, its hard to explain why | 06:12 |
| zeno | how do i defragment my hdd? | 06:13 |
| zeno | ext3 | 06:13 |
| zanberdo_ | zeno you don't | 06:13 |
| seuaniu | zeno, no need in linux | 06:13 |
| Keu | mee: maybe you should look into the IRC client ChatZilla which runs inside Firefox | 06:13 |
| zanberdo_ | ext3 does not require defragmentation | 06:13 |
| seuaniu | the filesystem takes care of itself | 06:13 |
| zeno | seuaniu: zanberdo_ people have told me ext does fragment just less and there is a util | 06:13 |
| bazhang | zeno, no need for ext3 | 06:14 |
| mee | keu you cant even set up chatzilla to use a proxy, can you??? | 06:14 |
| zanberdo_ | zeno it will fragment to some degree, this is true, but the way the fs is laid out you needn't do a thing | 06:14 |
| zanberdo_ | it's not like FAT or NTFS | 06:14 |
| seuaniu | it'll fragment, but it auto-defrags itself in the background | 06:14 |
| Keu | mee: maybe, you can use it with firefox profiles I *think* | 06:14 |
| zanberdo_ | you can find some very good information on the differences between a journaled fs like ext3 and FAT. | 06:14 |
| mee | ahhhh | 06:15 |
| mee | there's the idea | 06:15 |
| zanberdo_ | so, m4a support with rhythmbox? | 06:15 |
| mee | is there an irc proxy _command_? | 06:15 |
| zeno | zanberdo_: ok thx | 06:15 |
| Sareth | zanberdo_:, check out mediabuntus repository for codecs | 06:15 |
| zanberdo_ | Sareth, I have installed w32codec. it's rhythmbox specifically (I think) that is having the issue. | 06:16 |
| ramen | hey can anyone help me with updating apt-file? i'm totally new to linux and idk why i can't update it | 06:16 |
| seuaniu | rhythmbox ought to use gstreamer as the backend, so anything gstreamer has installed, you ought to use | 06:16 |
| seuaniu | check out the restricted codecs for m4a | 06:16 |
| zanberdo_ | I've only just recently switch from using kde to gnome and I'm trying to remain pure (not installing amorak)... | 06:16 |
| Lord`Saladin | ramen: What are you trying to do exactly? | 06:16 |
| ramen | um | 06:16 |
| zanberdo_ | seuaniu, I will see if there is something more I need to do, thanks | 06:17 |
| nexus23 | how do i get the old restricted drivers for bcmcutter that came with gutsy | 06:17 |
| ramen | haha i read this guide online said to just type sudo apt-file update | 06:17 |
| seuaniu | zanberdo_, good luck, amarock is the best media player i've ever seen | 06:17 |
| ramen | but... i get this error... wanna see it? | 06:17 |

| Lord`Saladin | ramen: The command is: sudo apt-get update | 06:17 |
| ramen | hm | 06:17 |
| Lord`Saladin | ramen: not apt-file | 06:17 |
| === co_culu2 is now known as co_funkyyy | ||
| seuaniu | ramen, if you're new, do this: | 06:18 |
| ramen | i installed something called apt-file tho and it said to update it o.0; | 06:18 |
| zanberdo_ | seuaniu, yes, I have enjoyed working with it for the last 2 years. I just can't stand kde 4 and thought I might as well try gnome and see what all the gnome fuss is about | 06:18 |
| ramen | hm? | 06:18 |
| ice_cream | btw, the effect of aptitude and apt-get are pretty much the same now, no? | 06:18 |
| seuaniu | system --> administration --> synaptic | 06:18 |
| ice_cream | apt-get used to fall behind, iirc | 06:18 |
| seuaniu | there'll be a button to update it, and after thats done, hit the other button to mark all upgrades, then apply | 06:18 |
| ice_cream | e.g. aptitude update versus apt-get update | 06:18 |
| ramen | hey cool | 06:18 |
| ramen | i'll try now | 06:18 |
| mattycoze | hey can someone tell me whether it'd be possible to install a source file? it's from this site; http://fold.it/portal/ | 06:19 |
| Lord`Saladin | mattycoze: I do believe you have to compile the source first. | 06:19 |
| ellipsis | I tried installing the xen desktop package | 06:20 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: Grr! Still the same problem. I might have to give it a fresh install, I think. | 06:20 |
| ellipsis | and after the install it asked me to restart | 06:20 |
| ellipsis | and now X won't work | 06:20 |

| Lethain | Im fairly new to Ubuntu, but i have manage to remove the default network option in the top panel, how do I get it back, or anyone any guides i could just read? | 06:22 |
| ramen | i found apt-file in synapsis thingy but i don't have an option to update | 06:22 |
| ramen | just to reinstall | 06:22 |
| ramen | when i try to update it in the console it says it needs my ubuntu disk | 06:22 |
| ramen | and then i get some weird error i think it's about mounting? | 06:22 |
| seuaniu | hit the reload button | 06:22 |
| ramen | it still doesn't have an option to upgrade | 06:23 |
| ramen | i mean | 06:23 |
| ramen | udate | 06:23 |
| ramen | *update | 06:23 |
| ellipsis | any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this? | 06:24 |
| ramen | i guess this apt-file is supposed to tell me something about something about making .tar .gz to packages | 06:24 |
| ramen | or something | 06:24 |
| seuaniu | ramen, lets start at the beginning: what is it you're trying to do? | 06:24 |
| ramen | haha thanks guys um.. | 06:25 |
| ramen | i'm trying to install... this screen capture software | 06:25 |
| ramen | and the packages don't work | 06:25 |
| ramen | cuz something about libraries and that | 06:25 |
| seuaniu | ok, whats it called? | 06:25 |
| ramen | ummmm | 06:25 |
| ramen | lemme check XD | 06:25 |
| FloodBot2 | ramen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:25 |
| ramen | it's xvidcap | 06:26 |
| seuaniu | ok, no tar.gz needed. in synaptic, search for xvidcap. it ought to show up in the box underneath the search box. click the square next to it to to mark for installation | 06:27 |
| ramen | thanks :D i'll give it a shot | 06:28 |
| seuaniu | say ok to the dependencies that need to get installed. hit the apply button, and synaptic will install it for you | 06:28 |
| ramen | no xvidcap in synaptic =( | 06:28 |
| huwenfen1 | i am using pidgin, i register in nickserv, but my register name is huwenfeng, now , my name here is huwenfen1, but in my app settings ,my name is huwenfeng@irc.freenode.net, what's wrong? | 06:29 |
| seuaniu | strange, shows up in mine | 06:29 |
| mattycoze | has anyone got Foldit to work on their machines? | 06:29 |
| Sareth | ramen, in a command console put 'sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get -y install xvidcap' | 06:29 |
| Lord`Saladin | Sareth, what's the -y do? | 06:30 |
| * Lord`Saladin is curious is all. | 06:30 | |
| ramen | haha o.0; it just goes to the next line. i have 7.10 if that's relevant | 06:30 |
| timboy | somehow my up arrow got remapped to print... I go to keyboard shortcuts but it shows proper print button... help please | 06:31 |
| dft_ | Lord`Saladin: I believe the -y is for "yes to install" | 06:31 |

| zerodevice | hi everyone, i've install phpmyadmin and apache into the ubuntu server, and its access by the address http://LAMP/phpmyadmin, but how do i change the path of this phpmyadmin? becoz its too easy to be figured it out. | 06:33 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way i can find out my ubuntu version number using only the terminal? | 06:34 |
| dft_ | did anyone know if they'll offer a binary update via update manager from 8.04 to 8.10 | 06:34 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: lsb_release -a | 06:34 |
| dft_ | like the update from 7.10 to 8.04 | 06:34 |
| Flynsarmy | Flannel, thanks | 06:34 |
| Flannel | dft_: Of course they will. If you haven't been asked yet, you may been to change your upgrade settings (in software sources) to ask about every release, not just LTS | 06:35 |
| Lord`Saladin | zerodevice: Surely you have set passwords for the mySQL database, right? | 06:35 |
| ice_cream | oh, i cant update to 8.10, cause apparently it needs 70mb or so free space on /boot | 06:35 |
| Flannel | ice_cream: You can remove old kernels | 06:35 |
| ice_cream | perhaps | 06:35 |
| ice_cream | but suppose the total space on /boot is 60mb | 06:35 |
| xenoterracide_ | umm... where do I find enterprise apps like postgres and httpd | 06:36 |
| zanberdo_ | ok, I do a lot of work on the cli and I can't stand that the default location for documents, music, etc. all start with a capital letter. Where can I go to change the various default paths. I know simple renaming them doesn't address all the various apps that expect them to be here or there... | 06:36 |
| Flynsarmy | Flannel, lsb_release: Command not found | 06:36 |
| zerodevice | lord'saladin, yes there is username and password being setup. but i would not feel secure so i would like to change the path or folder name so that no one knows. | 06:36 |
| Flannel | ice_cream: That's.... prohibitivly small. | 06:36 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: Thats not normal. You've either got a botched install, or aren't on... a good number of linux distributions. | 06:36 |
| zanberdo_ | postgresql is in the repos | 06:36 |
| ice_cream | xenoterracide_, search for it first using ubuntu's synaptic tool or through terminal with apt-cache search | 06:37 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: How about uname -a,w hat does that tell you? | 06:37 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: `uname -a` that is. | 06:37 |
| mchelen | zanberdo_, its actually pretty safe to just rename them, they are only suggested directories | 06:37 |
| ice_cream | hmm, strange on the postgres.. | 06:38 |
| Flynsarmy | Flannel, Linux sellerbyte.net 2.6.9-023stab048.6-enterprise #1 SMP Mon Nov 17 19:09:18 MSK 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 06:38 |
| Lord`Saladin | zerodevice: Try this tutorial - http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/ | 06:39 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: That's certainly not Ubuntu. Looks to be custom, and they don't have lsb_release available, obviously. | 06:39 |
| xenoterracide_ | ice_cream: the add/remove progs in menu is synaptic right? why don't he same progs show up in that as apt-cache search? | 06:39 |
| zanberdo_ | mchelen, sadly the Places menu does not reflect these changes... | 06:39 |
| Lord`Saladin | zerodevice: Though, apart from that, I am unsure... Apart from just renaming the phpmyadmin folder? Though, I am doubtful the rename would work, as it may affect other stuffs. | 06:39 |
| zerodevice | lord'saladin, thanks | 06:39 |
| Flannel | xenoterracide_: No, Add/remove gives a subset (with stylized names, etc) of the packages. synaptic is system >admin > synaptic package manager. | 06:40 |
| dft_ | zerodevice: you can rename the folder without issue | 06:40 |
| dft_ | it's just a container for the web app | 06:40 |
| xenoterracide_ | Flannel: ah, first time really using ubuntu, thanks | 06:40 |
| ice_cream | xenoterracide_, maybe you need a sudo apt-get update first, then try searching with apt-cache search again | 06:40 |
| btoogood | any problems upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 | 06:40 |
| zerodevice | lord'saladin, im thinking of changing the apache config where it would point other names. and since i havent do any thing in the mysql db, so its ok for now if its anything goes wrong | 06:40 |
| zerodevice | dft_ thanks. i'll do that as well | 06:41 |
| ice_cream | but i cant test it, as i dont have synaptic | 06:41 |
| xenoterracide_ | ice_cream: already took care of all updates | 06:41 |
| Lord`Saladin | zerodevice: Other than that, with phpmyadmin being open source (I believe), you might be able to change the phpmyadmin/index.php file so that it auto redirects to a page that needs a user/password to go back to the index. | 06:41 |
| Flannel | ice_cream: Do you have a particular example we could use? What do you see in add/remove that you're looking for the package name of? | 06:41 |
| Lord`Saladin | zerodevice: If that makes sense? | 06:41 |
| dft_ | zerodevice: if you really wanted too, you could setup a vhost with phpmyadmin directorty as the document root and create a dns cname to that machine | 06:41 |
| ice_cream | Flannel, xeno asking the q, not me =D | 06:42 |
| Flannel | xenoterracide_: Do you have a particular example we could use? What do you see in add/remove that you're looking for the package name of? | 06:42 |
| Flannel | ice_cream: Indeed, apologies. | 06:42 |
| krish | iam using ubuntu 8.10 abd cookies are blocked in my browser. How can I allow cookies? | 06:42 |
| btoogood | is it just me or is firefox slow in 8.04 | 06:42 |
| ice_cream | but my guess is that the synaptic search results have been filtered/limited to certain repositories | 06:43 |
| grendal_prime | grrrrr avant window manager works shitty on ibex | 06:43 |
| Lord`Saladin | krish: That will be in your browser settings; probably under privacy or security settings | 06:43 |

| Lord`Saladin | dft_: I'm pretty sure he meant alias. | 06:45 |
| zerodevice | lord'saladin, dft_, alias* in the phpmyadmin config file and then name it anyword i like. e.g. http://LAMP/whydoilikeheroestvseriessomuch | 06:45 |

| dft_ | zerodevice: ahh | 06:45 |
| dft_ | zerodevice: I'm a vhost junkie | 06:45 |
| mDemocritus | i was mucking around with apache, and it didn't show a new directory that i had created, so i restarted the server, and got a message here-> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/80723/ ...that looks real suspicious, i'm worried my box is compromised, since that sure as heck isn't my ip, and it doesn't trace to my isp (wide open west) and the tracepath to the ip in the error is very suspicious | 06:46 |
| zerodevice | dft_, thanks anyway, at least now i know something like vhost exist. :P | 06:46 |
| mDemocritus | any ideas? | 06:46 |
| Flannel | mDemocritus: The error is normal (no fqdn), but if thats not your Ip, that is odd. Check your hosts file | 06:46 |
| Flannel | !hosts | mDemocritus | 06:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hosts | 06:46 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: what's your external ip? | 06:47 |

| omg | hello i need help connting to wireless network in ubuntu 8.10 it says there no wireless networks there please help | 06:47 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: what did you set for "server name" in httpd.conf | 06:48 |
| mDemocritus | Flannel: i could care less about the error message, but it should just go to localhost or 127.0.0.1, right? | 06:48 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: wait this is ubuntu so apache.conf | 06:48 |
| omg | can someone help | 06:48 |
| Steven2 | hm? | 06:48 |
| Flannel | mDemocritus: localhost, yeah. That page gives localhost as the example. | 06:48 |
| omg | hello i need help connting to wireless network in ubuntu 8.10 it says there no wireless networks there please help | 06:48 |
| Flannel | mDemocritus: It'll take stuff from hosts I believe, if it isn't defined. Which is why I said to check your hosts | 06:49 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: you're "server name" in the global settings is resolving to an external ip address | 06:49 |
| [Sarai] | omg: do you have a broadcom wireless network card? | 06:49 |
| omg | wt is that? | 06:49 |
| mDemocritus | dft_: "server name" isn't found by nano in that file | 06:49 |
| Flannel | mDemocritus: Because it isn't. Create a new file for it | 06:49 |
| mDemocritus | Flannel: nope, nothing wierd in hosts | 06:50 |
| [Sarai] | omg: it's a brand of network cards that isn't automatically supported by ubuntu. I had to download drivers for mine before I could get it to work | 06:50 |
| omg | its a inbuilt wireless card | 06:50 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: one sec, ubuntu's apache setup is different from what I'm used to | 06:50 |
| Flannel | mDemocritus: That's odd indeed. Oh well, go ahead and follow that guide, and it'll be fine | 06:50 |
| Flannel | dft_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20Apache | 06:50 |
| [Sarai] | omg: that's probably the problem | 06:50 |
| omg | where do i get the drivers and what are the drivers i need | 06:50 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: follow the instructions on Flannel's link | 06:50 |

| mDemocritus | Flannel, dft_: thanks for that info... should i be worried? | 06:52 |
| PeterFA | What's the command line way of activating it? | 06:52 |
| dft_ | mDemocritus: no | 06:52 |
| [Sarai] | omg: I think there's an easier way of doing it, though | 06:52 |
| omg | ye but you no when u click networks no internet connections show | 06:52 |
| [Sarai] | mine sort of did it automatically | 06:52 |
| [Sarai] | I'm pmming u okay? | 06:52 |
| Flannel | dft_: We use the debian method, everything (well, separate things) get separate files, etc. | 06:52 |
| omg | when i did i search it said they was a wireless card | 06:53 |

| DMJC | hey | 06:56 |
| mDemocritus | was called musiclist, now just called music. it's in the website root | 06:56 |
| DMJC | is there a distro specific option for where programs will be installed? | 06:56 |
| dft_ | heh, anyone had the chance to work with the EEEpc 901's? | 06:56 |
| mDemocritus | Flannel: oops nm i think i found it | 06:56 |
| DMJC | eg a variable you can use to locate files no matter what distro the program is installed on? | 06:56 |
| DMJC | I'm trying to write a gui frontend to a program | 06:56 |
| Flannel | DMJC: `which program` will give you the full path. | 06:56 |
| Flannel | DMJC: However, just calling the program ought ot work, since its in the path | 06:57 |
| DMJC | I'm not trying to do that tho | 06:57 |
| DMJC | I'm trying to call say dvbscan | 06:57 |
| DMJC | with dvbscan /usr/share/dvbscan/configfile | 06:57 |
| mDemocritus | Flannel: yeah that was my mistake... had a prebuilt version of the site in a subdirectory, and didn't have my path right... whoops. | 06:57 |
| DMJC | it's the path for /usr/share/dvbscan I want to locate on any system | 06:57 |
| DMJC | and use for my frontend | 06:58 |
| mDemocritus | Flannel: it's all good now, thanks | 06:58 |
| omg | im off to maccers later anyone wanna come? | 06:58 |
| DMJC | basically the contents of that dir should become a drop down option | 06:58 |
| zanberdo_ | mchelen, unless I've done something wrong, it's no good. I've renamed the directories and now they are no longer visible in Places. I've dragged the new directories to the places panel in nautilus so they at least show up under bookmarks in places. | 06:58 |
| zanberdo_ | documents is the killer though | 06:58 |
| zanberdo_ | and has been even with kubuntu | 06:58 |
| zanberdo_ | there were a few different files I needed to change in kubuntu in order for kde to properly handle documents | 06:58 |
| zanberdo_ | I'm guess it's the same case here | 06:59 |
| zanberdo_ | as the bookmark to documents in places is not valid | 06:59 |

| stickz | and was seeing if there's one that a lot of people in the community might suggest | 07:20 |
| grendal_prime | just really frustrated | 07:21 |
| [Sarai] | So, I asked this a while back and was told to keep asking since no one at the time had an answer. I have an HP pavillion tx2000z running Ubuntu intrepid, and the only noise my sound card can apparently produce is beeps. I've tried running the patch to fix pulseaudio in flash in firefox, and also downloaded the "restricted ubuntu extras" package to no avail. Suggestions? | 07:21 |
| dft_ | stickz: get them an old pc with a base install;) | 07:21 |
| bdelin88 | lol i just would like a physical book on the terminal | 07:21 |
| SeeWhy | i all | 07:21 |
| bdelin88 | or a guide would be nice | 07:21 |
| gasull | Hi guys. It seems I have Postgres 8.2 and 8.3 running at the same time, so I'm wasting CPU. Should I remove Postgres 8.2 for better performance? | 07:21 |
| bdelin88 | the ubuntu-training wiki is in shambles apparently | 07:21 |
| stickz | Well, I installed Xubuntu for a friend, but he hates digging for information. And then he gets too lazy to dig into how things are working most of the time. | 07:21 |
| grendal_prime | this sounds soo windozy but im going to reboot this thing and see if there is something that didnt get fired up right. | 07:22 |
| stickz | I'll look online for book reviews I guess | 07:22 |

| bdelin88 | lol i killed pulse audio and brought back also on my intrepid install :) | 07:22 |
| dft_ | lordleemo: strange, one sec | 07:23 |
| alex_21 | Anything that is accessed by the GUI is also doable on the command line? And how can I find out how? Is there a tool that I can use to dicover this stuff | 07:23 |
| [Sarai] | Lord` Saladin: thanks will do | 07:23 |

| [Sarai] | Lord` Saladin: I need to reinstall it? | 07:26 |
| dft_ | lordleemo: are you trying to access that port via localhost? | 07:26 |
| bdelin88 | Lord`Saladin: which is why i removed pulse and put alsa on :) i feel like a genious, sorry haha | 07:26 |
| eweb100 | Well that didn't help | 07:26 |
| [Sarai] | oh, nm, I get it :) | 07:26 |
| eweb100 | Is there any way i can rolllback the settings of the last update? | 07:27 |
| lordleemo | dft_: no my friend im older annd wiser than that | 07:27 |
| Lord`Saladin | [Sarai]: I think most of the things should work... Just double check the repositories on the site it gives, to make sure there are repos for Intrepid | 07:27 |
| dft_ | lordleemo: np, good to know my audience | 07:27 |
| eweb100 | Can you rollback the settings of something?? | 07:27 |
| eweb100 | i mean of an update | 07:27 |
| Lord`Saladin | bdelin88: I prefer Pulse, to be honest. | 07:27 |
| alex_21 | Well, I don't know then, maybe Google will be good. I just thought you guys may know a site that I can use to search for this. Not google, but a site made for listing these commands | 07:27 |

| Lord`Saladin | [Sarai]: Seems he only has it for Hardy. | 07:29 |
| bdelin88 | Lord`Saladin: eh, i probably would too but it doesn't work with audacity and i really like audacity, plus pulse had to emulate my alsa drivers | 07:29 |
| lordleemo | dft_: good man been around then eh... im starting to think i might need to just dp a full reinstall | 07:29 |
| [Sarai] | Lord` Saladin: so it won't work for me? | 07:29 |
| Lord`Saladin | [Sarai]: I honestly don't know. | 07:29 |

| dft_ | lordleemo: there must be something declared in /etc/ufw/before.rules that's interfering | 07:30 |
| [Sarai] | Lord` Saladin: I don't think I will... can you think of anything else that might help? | 07:30 |
| eross | here's a question, can i install a .i386 deb on an amd64? | 07:30 |
| Lord`Saladin | [Sarai]: Unfortunately not. | 07:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, have you tried force mounting it? | 07:30 |
| [Sarai] | Lord` Saladin: that's okay, thanks for trying | 07:30 |
| gbear14275 | eross: yes, I just found some instructions on that to install skype, try google about that | 07:31 |
| lordleemo | dft_: give me a sec ill go and look | 07:31 |
| eross | ok | 07:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | eross, yes you can.. you need ia32-libs | 07:31 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: have not tried the mount command in terminal, although I'll go try that now | 07:32 |

| lordleemo | dft_: hit this addy and tell me what you get http://87.123.147.13/ | 07:35 |
| stdiopt | Hey someone here had probs with hd 4850 and compiz/x11? | 07:36 |
| outboard | how do i stop 8.10 hanging when installing when it tries to detect the usb ? | 07:36 |
| wenko | outboard: crtl+alt+del | 07:36 |
| alex_21 | So any idea on my GUI to CLI problem | 07:37 |
| outboard | and that will throw it out of the install | 07:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, what? | 07:37 |
| marshall | i think i need the kernel module hci_usb to get my internal bluetooth working (thinkpad t61p) but it doesnt appear to be packaged with my kernel, how do I get it? | 07:37 |
| dft_ | lordleemo: nothing | 07:37 |
| alex_21 | I need to figure out what actions are taken when pressing a button on a gui. I mean, how to replicate the action the program takes with the CLI | 07:38 |
| outboard | seriously trying to get a dual boot happening is not meant to be this hard | 07:38 |
| alex_21 | For example, how Network Manager adds a netwrok interface via CLI | 07:38 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, HA!... I sure wish life was that easy.. google use "linux command" or "linux command learn" into google and take your pic | 07:38 |
| dft_ | lordleemo: your box is in denmark? | 07:39 |
| ekaw | I have downloaded Gtablix, and extract. But there no *.deb. How I can install Gtablix on my ubuntu ? | 07:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, you can read the source code for network manager on launchpad | 07:39 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: wa able to do that | 07:39 |
| alex_21 | Oh, groan, more Orca speech. I think I will use Voiceover, but then I have to sift thgrough everything, smiley, I am blind you see. Is there any specific site that lists all commands for Ubuntu | 07:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, sorry what? | 07:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, no | 07:40 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, there is no single solitary well of information | 07:40 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: sorry, was able to force mount it although now the partition has fallen off my places list... | 07:40 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, where did you mount it to? | 07:40 |
| alex_21 | Oh, because looking at source code isn't really an option as I am only six months into programming and then I am writting my own front end, based on GNome | 07:41 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: /media | 07:41 |
| alex_21 | Writing, sorry | 07:41 |
| stdiopt | Fglrx instabilitie anyone? | 07:41 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, learn to crawl before you try sprinting | 07:41 |
| alex_21 | I know that saying, but to use Ubuntu I need to write my own front end | 07:42 |
| Paddy_EIRE | stdiopt, try making sense.. or forming better questions | 07:42 |
| outboard | is there a way of telling the installer to ignore usb ? | 07:42 |
| alex_21 | I mean, it is a real joke the accessibility on some packages | 07:42 |
| Lord`Saladin | YES!!! Get in!! | 07:42 |
| outboard | it does fine installing untill it starts probing the usb and then hangs | 07:42 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, well you obviously need something a little more specialised mate | 07:42 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: I managed to get it to work! | 07:43 |
| Lord`Saladin | nickrud: I had to install the getdeb repos for it to work though | 07:43 |
| alex_21 | I know, but no linux is there yet | 07:43 |
| Paddy_EIRE | alex_21, writing your own front-end should take you all of the rest of your life :) | 07:43 |
| lordleemo | dft_: Thankyou for you time and patience my friend very kind of you | 07:43 |
| gbear14275 | alex_21: I assume you have already looked for other options for ubuntu which may be of use to the visually impaired? | 07:44 |
| alex_21 | And, no, I am making a web based front end, so it isn't that hard | 07:44 |
| Lord`Saladin | At least I can do some work now.XD | 07:44 |
| alex_21 | I did, and some packages just drive me up the wall | 07:44 |
| mtholdenss | yo whats up?! | 07:44 |

| gbear14275 | Lord`Saladin: how do you do it? | 07:48 |
| tonyyarusso | outboard: you can do either | 07:48 |

| ziroday | Hi, does anyone know a calendar maker? | 07:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, so long as it is mounted under /media/ then it should be listed | 07:51 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: Open Window with first contact > Click on Conversation > More... > Initiate Chat. That will open a new tab for the group chat. Click on, whilst in that new tab, Conversation > Invite > Then choose who you want to invite. | 07:51 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: is there an easier/safer way you might be able to point me towards? I don't have a problem with google, just not sure what to search for | 07:51 |
| zom1 | I set my girlfriend up with an ubuntu 8.10 disk using a usb stick for persistant until she gets a net harddrive. I tested this on my own pc first and it worked great. Just got hers up and it's spamming "Starting File Browser" things. Anyone know what's going on? | 07:51 |
| gibobo | in the documentation it tales me to downgrade the kernel, is there any other way | 07:51 |
| mker | ziroday, evolution has a calendar | 07:51 |
| zom1 | new* | 07:51 |
| ziroday | mker: calendar maker, as in one I make and then it prints of :) | 07:51 |
| alex_21 | <ziroday> Plenty of web based ones like Google Callendar, but Evolution should do it I think | 07:51 |
| ziroday | alex_21: see above | 07:51 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: Though, that seems more complicated on the new Pidgin. Before, it was just a case of hitting Conversation > Invite and then selecting who you want in | 07:52 |
| tonyyarusso | gibobo: maybe, maybe not. The linmodems people will know better. | 07:52 |
| tonyyarusso | ziroday: scribus is a general-purpose desktop publishing tool. | 07:52 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ah, ziroday: I fixed my GIMP problem. | 07:52 |
| gibobo | ok becaus efor what i've got I have to downgrade to ubuntu 5.10 linux kernel | 07:52 |

| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: awesome, what was it? | 07:53 |
| === root is now known as Tom_Far | ||

| METAL | help anybody know about fan control for laptops? | 07:55 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: I mean gimp, sorry? | 07:55 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Not sure, I went through and *removed* EVERY single gimp file/directory etc... Then purged gimp, libgimp2.0 and gimp-data, and then had to add the getdeb repos, did a sudo apt-get install gimp, and it was fine. | 07:55 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Something told me it had worked, when I tried to put in gimp at the terminal and it didn't let me: "No such command" | 07:55 |
| zom1 | anyone know why the ubuntu livecd in persistent mode is spamming "Starting File Browser" things in the taskbar? | 07:55 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: great | 07:56 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: So, your calendar thing? What are you wanting to do specifically? | 07:56 |
| gbear14275 | Lord`Saladin: man that is tedious to add a bunch of people | 07:56 |
| ziroday | Lord`Saladin: create a calendar, with pictures to give out in paper form | 07:56 |
| gbear14275 | although that is great information! thanks | 07:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, did that work for you? | 07:56 |
| gbear14275 | there a way to add a group of people at a time? | 07:57 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: sorry, no not yet, when i mounted to /mount/ it wouldn't show up in the places list | 07:57 |
| ellipsis | okay | 07:57 |
| ellipsis | I give up | 07:57 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: I noticed that all the other partitions were at /media/disk-X | 07:57 |
| ellipsis | been trying to fix my ATI drivers for the last hour and a half | 07:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, another idea would be to just bookmark it in nautilus | 07:57 |
| === bruno is now known as Guest73939 | ||
| gibobo | tonyyarusso: do you know if there is a channel to talk to someone of linmodens? | 07:57 |
| gbear14275 | so I think i have to make media/disk-3 and then try and mount it to there | 07:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, nautilus bookmarks show up under places | 07:57 |
| tonyyarusso | gibobo: Not that I know of; just the mailing list. | 07:58 |
| ellipsis | I tried installing xen-desktop and for some reason when I restarted after that x didn't start | 07:58 |
| robb_m | Paddy_EIRE, thats the only thing i can think of else to do man.... | 07:58 |
| gbear14275 | i do that with a couple network folders | 07:58 |
| ellipsis | and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ati drivers and X still doesn't start | 07:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | robb_m, there are also a few options with gconf-editor | 07:58 |
| robb_m | Paddy_EIRE, sorry..been lurking....came in and have been following your conversation.... | 07:58 |
| ellipsis | the only way I can boot up into X is by going into recovery mode, running dpkg and fix X | 07:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 07:58 |
| ellipsis | any ideas on how I can debug this? | 07:59 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: Not that I can see. And, it seems that they made that worse... There used to be a list of all your online buddies show up, but that seems to have gone now. Hm. I'm not sure. Try "pidgin group chat mass invite" on Google. Might come up with something for you. | 07:59 |
| Peddy | Bluetooth does not work at all in Intrepid. As in, I can't pair with devices or use OBEX. Can someone please help me? | 07:59 |
| robb_m | Paddy_EIRE, i had the same issue a while back..wanted to see if there was another way, but yeah..those you listed were my only ways i knew as well. | 07:59 |
| Lord`Saladin | Ziroday: Have you tried OpenOffice Presentation? | 07:59 |
| ellipsis | *sigh* | 08:00 |
| gbear14275 | Lord`Saladin: I still have my buddy list show up | 08:00 |
| ellipsis | can anyone atleast give me some ideas on how I can debug this? | 08:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !patience | 08:00 |
| Lord`Saladin | Apparently it is like Powerpoint in some ways, or Publisher, though I've never used it before. That would be the best bet I reckon. | 08:00 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:00 |
| gbear14275 | you might have to have it filter by online buddies, i can't remember how i got mine to show up like that | 08:00 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 08:01 |
| METAL | I8k fan control is this the best for laptops | 08:01 |
| odracir34 | good morning vietnam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 08:01 |
| METAL | LOL | 08:01 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: Thank you for the guidance, I was able to get it working now :) a little mkdir action and it seems to be all set | 08:01 |
| gbear14275 | 8.10 | 08:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbear14275, cool :) | 08:01 |
| sajuuk | hey guys im trying to install GLBCC from a tar and it doesn't seem to be working | 08:01 |
| gbear14275 | if you are really bored... you could point me at a cifs howto... trying to get my wrt54g to log to a file off the router | 08:01 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: Ah. Strange, I'll have to check it, though I don't do group chats often. Have you tried the ctrl key? | 08:02 |
| robb_m | sajuuk, got build-essential? | 08:02 |
| robb_m | sajuuk, sorry...just trying to get the basics out the way first :) | 08:02 |
| gibobo | I just can't understand why ubuntu cannot handle dial-up modems ( on laptops) I tough that it was the easiest of the ways to connect to internet. And I don't get it that it wasn'nt a priority. Ubuntu is supposed to help people who cannot afford an expensive OS, like in poor countries ( africa). Do you think that they all have Wifi and ADSL? | 08:02 |
| sajuuk | yep | 08:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gibobo, dont come to moan here | 08:02 |
| gbear14275 | Lord`Saladin: nope... ctrl wont highlight multple persons, and the only way I found to initiate a group chat was after I was in an IM window already | 08:03 |
| robb_m | sajuuk, what errors if any is it giving you? | 08:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gibobo, you should have checked to see if your modem was supported to begin with | 08:03 |
| sajuuk | i have extracted the tar file | 08:03 |
| klevererthanu | evening all | 08:03 |
| gbear14275 | gibobo: you tried looking for info on google... i find it hard to believe they dont... | 08:03 |
| robb_m | and furthermore pushing !ot there gibobo :) | 08:03 |
| sajuuk | and i go to ./configure in terminal where it is extracted to/at | 08:03 |
| sajuuk | but it does nothing | 08:04 |
| Flannel | gibobo: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/modem.html | 08:04 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gibobo, and ubuntu is not supposed to help people who cannot afford an expensive OS... thats not the mission statement or goal | 08:04 |
| klevererthanu | having problems with flashplayer version reinstallation | 08:04 |
| sajuuk | says the file/folder 404 | 08:04 |
| sajuuk | if you get me | 08:04 |
| gbear14275 | Paddy_EIRE: well... it kinda is, isn't it? bring OS usability to the masses? | 08:04 |
| gibobo | I know, its just that I have been trying to figure it out since two days looking for an answer | 08:04 |
| gibobo | sorry | 08:04 |
| alex_21 | <gibobo> I undertand. Kurdish, which I needed for a volunteer project, as well as for my personal likfe had no screen reade until Febuarry of 08, and only after I put the right people in touch and got coordinating | 08:04 |
| alex_21 | Understand, sorry | 08:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gbarberi, yeah but nothing to do with undercutting anyone on price.. ubuntu abides by the foss principles primarily | 08:05 |
| Flannel | The economic situations of the users is irrelevant. As far as this particular issue is concerned, there's plenty of people who have dial up just because they do, not behcause they have to, so it's irrelevant. | 08:05 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: In that case, I honestly don't know. I have only ever done one group chat before EVER on Pidgin, if not my life, and that was with two people other than myself. Lol. So it worked just fine for me | 08:06 |
| Flannel | gibobo: Did you try the instructions on that page? | 08:06 |
| gibobo | Yes i do | 08:06 |
| Flannel | gibobo: and? | 08:06 |
| gbear14275 | Lord`Saladin: :), I'm an online gamer although not WoW type stuff, its much lamer actually ;), but yeah, mass IM conversations were necessary for coordination | 08:07 |
| cham_eleon | hey guys. after my update to 8.10 my mouse has a "bug". it still moves but i can't click. restart of x solve the problem. i tried serveral mouses, etc. everytime the same :( | 08:07 |
| cham_eleon | sometimes the mouse works for hours but then it stops clicking | 08:08 |
| malv | there a problem with the Ubuntu alternate install cd requesting me to put in the disk which is already in there. Wtf? | 08:08 |
| METAL | laptop or desktop | 08:08 |
| sajuuk | robb_m, what do you think is the problem? | 08:08 |
| gibobo | actually i am on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/PcTel and I not sure that is the right thing to do. can you check it out and tell me what to think. I have the feeling its out of date. | 08:08 |
| robb_m | im not sure sajuuk sorry..... | 08:08 |
| robb_m | honesty wasnt paying attention, was trying to help in another channel.... | 08:09 |
| sajuuk | robb_m, you do your ./configure first yeah? | 08:09 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: You really can't get any lamer than WoW. But, as an alternative that is probably MUCH better...Why not use IRC? Not sure about Freenode as it's so big, but on other networks you can make your own rooms, and set them so only people you want can enter, or even SEE that the room exists. | 08:09 |
| gbear14275 | Lord`Saladin: www.worldofaegis.com, text based strategy game | 08:09 |
| robb_m | sajuuk, it should be ./configure then make and then make install iirc? | 08:10 |
| robb_m | i havent done "source" in quite a while man.....sorry.... | 08:10 |
| sajuuk | robb_m, neither have I, I prefer not to... but im trying to get this BASIC compiler working so I can do some tutorials | 08:11 |
| gbear14275 | so yeah, it takes alot more brains than WoW, but some might argue "at least WoW and Runescape have 3d"... eh, depends on your definitions I guess ;) | 08:11 |
| Peddy | sajuuk: ./configure, make, then sudo make install | 08:11 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: I think I've heard of it... I myself do text-based roleplay. But, I would say IRC is the way forward -- and it further ensure anonymity. I would hate having to give my MSN to all the people I RP with | 08:11 |
| gbear14275 | I had 5 MSN's at one point | 08:11 |
| Lord`Saladin | LMFAO!!! | 08:11 |
| robb_m | Peddy, oh..forgot sudo :( | 08:12 |
| sajuuk | sajuuk@Silver:~/Downloads/glbcc-0.1.0$ ./configure | 08:12 |
| sajuuk | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 08:12 |
| Lord`Saladin | Still, IRC is good for game stuff, as the operator system generally allows for easy social ranking etc etc | 08:12 |
| bakarat | how do i rename a computer in 8.10? | 08:12 |
| bakarat | (graphical way) | 08:12 |
| Flannel | !hostname | bakarat | 08:12 |
| ubottu | bakarat: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 08:12 |
| gbear14275 | :), but yeah, there is a chat client in there... although in needs alot of work... I actually run that game now and the programmer on the team is looking to do an ajax chat setup | 08:12 |
| bakarat | Flannel, problem is that system > administration > networking is...gone? | 08:13 |
| robb_m | bakarat, for kde help try #kubuntu | 08:13 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: How many people would be on the chat? AJAX, from my experience can be BAD if a lot of people are on there, for chat anyway | 08:13 |
| Peddy | robb_m: well, actually you don't have to sudo for some software, and it's probably better to try without sudo and see if it fails, but you forgot the 'make' step in between configure and install ;) | 08:13 |
| bakarat | robb_m, why would i want kde help? :| | 08:13 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: PM me for more info, this is decidedly off topic | 08:14 |
| METAL | what channel do you suggest for getting help with laptops andubuntu | 08:14 |
| sajuuk | so why isn't my configure working? | 08:14 |
| sajuuk | its confusing | 08:14 |
| gbear14275 | hmm... would like to support up to 250 simultaneous... | 08:14 |
| gibobo | Flanel ? are you still there | 08:14 |
| hasan_ | hi | 08:14 |
| robb_m | bakarat, i was assuming since you pused wit the elipses :) | 08:14 |
| gbear14275 | our coder is a pro... he should be able to provide a scalable solution | 08:14 |
| Lord`Saladin | gbear14275: Not much hope of that, I'm afraid, Just for the way it works. PM me, and I will explain | 08:14 |
| robb_m | peddy, no i didnt, i said configure, make then make install :) | 08:15 |
| sajuuk | i did a GUI extract from the tarball, right click> extract, folder extracts glbcc into a folder | 08:15 |
| hasan_ | i have laptob | 08:15 |

| METAL | what is your system | 08:16 |
| alex_21 | AJAX chat? Did someone say AJAX chat? If done correctly that will work great with accessibility software | 08:16 |

| METAL | ouch | 08:18 |
| alex_21 | There are some programs. i am going to use one for my Servers, on the rack they get pretty hot with Ubuntu, but there are programs that will do that. I just don't remember which | 08:18 |
| hasan_ | ubuntu knows all hardwares | 08:18 |
| gibobo | can someone tell me if this page is out of date or if there is any other way to do it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/PcTel , I got the feeling that it is to much of a downgrade of the linux kernel for ubuntu 8.04... | 08:18 |
| hasan_ | but not webcam | 08:18 |

| anothrguitarist | I'm trying to get lxdream to work with an intel graphics card | 08:20 |
| sajuuk | perhaps someone else can download GLBCC and compile it from source and see wot the problem is | 08:20 |
| anothrguitarist | The developer's site says it won't work, but I recall hearing that someone got it working anyway | 08:20 |
| anothrguitarist | The problem is with the open gl drivers or something | 08:21 |
| anothrguitarist | Anyone have advice? | 08:21 |
| jim_p | anothrguitarist, do you have direct rendering now? | 08:21 |
| anothrguitarist | Not sure if I have direct rendering or not | 08:21 |
| anothrguitarist | When I run lxdream, it says it's not doing direct rendering | 08:21 |
| anothrguitarist | Not exactly sure how to get it to do otherwise | 08:22 |
| jim_p | anothrguitarist, at a terminal glxinfo | grep direct | 08:22 |
| anothrguitarist | Says no direct rendering when I grep glxinfo | 08:23 |
| jim_p | anothrguitarist, then this is your problem :( | 08:23 |
| anothrguitarist | :\ | 08:23 |
| anothrguitarist | Is it something I'm stuck with until the drivers are improved? | 08:23 |
| jim_p | anothrguitarist, well i would make a proper xorg.conf and not rely on xorg1.5 silly auto stuff | 08:24 |
| anothrguitarist | Ah, I see | 08:24 |
| anothrguitarist | Have a link where I could read up on that? | 08:25 |

| avatar | hi there. after upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 8.10 I noticed three errors. a) gnome does not save sessions anymore (I learned that this is a gnome problem, not ubuntu specific), b) I got massive problems with hanging firefox as soon as flash was loaded (fixed by de-installing flashplugin-nonfree and installing latest flash 10 beta from adobe) and c) - the problem I was unable to fix until now - problems using konsole. I can type some text and hit return ... | 08:26 |
| avatar | ... - but konsole don't show any output. only after I press another key (return again) I see the output. | 08:26 |

| jim_p | evanotten, can you give me a link of it? | 08:26 |

| mattycoze | hey i've got a problem with volume control with keyboard commands; when i press vol up the volume image comes up and it shows it increasing the volume bar but it doesn't actually increase the volume... is there a way i can couple that control with the master volume? | 08:37 |
| scizzo- | mattycoze: there is no options for that in the keyboard setup in ubuntu? | 08:38 |
| alex_21 | What kind of keyboard is it? | 08:38 |
| mattycoze | scizzo i'll check | 08:38 |
| mattycoze | because at the moment the keyboard command is only modifying the PCM-2 volume | 08:39 |
| scizzo- | mattycoze: if I am not completely wrong you should be able to bind it different in those options for the keyboard but I am not 100% sure | 08:39 |
| mattycoze | alex_21 it's a HP Pavillion laptop dv6000 d.w i don';t think its a driver issue, the keyboard was working fine before i mucked around with something to do with alsa but i'll check the keyboard settings in a sec | 08:40 |
| mattycoze | scizzo nah the keyboard shortcuts were set correctly... | 08:41 |
| alex_21 | I just wanted to see if I know of any issues with the keyboard. I too have an HP wireless keyboard, and The "A" and "Delete" keys are backwards | 08:42 |
| mattycoze | oh okay | 08:42 |

| julian_ | hi can somebody help me reinstalling grub? on sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/media/disk-1 /dev/sda i get the following error: The file /media/disk-1/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. | 08:52 |
| Name1411 | Hello, I tried installing both Ubuntu and Kubuntu , and it will cause my router light to flash like it is in high traffic, yet I am not connected at all. I did not have this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu or Kubuntu and it never made the router light flash like I had high traffic. And to end confusion I didn't have any downloads going, and was unable to connect to my modem, or any other "local" things along with the internet. I have a Dell Ispi | 08:52 |
| avatar | solution to my konsole problem (which is identical to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164635) -> I downgraded my nvidia video driver from 177 to 173 - this needs further testing, but it seems that the problem vanished. | 08:54 |
| Lord`Saladin | Name1411: Sounds like a problem I had some time ago, it started randomly... try taking the ethernet cable out, restart Ubuntu, THEN put the ethernet cable back in; allow it to connect and test again. If that doesn't work, hard reset the router whilst doing the same thing, during the time you have the computer rebooting. | 08:55 |
| Lord`Saladin | That, at least, worked for me. | 08:55 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: Why did it just show up in the new release? I was thinking this was the time to switch. | 08:55 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: The BAM, stupid problem again | 08:56 |
| Name1411 | Then* | 08:56 |
| Lord`Saladin | Name1411: I have no idea. I don't think it is an 8.10 issue - I had it in 8.04. | 08:56 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: I haven't seen it before when I installed Wubi , or the real deal | 08:57 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: Until this version | 08:57 |
| Lord`Saladin | Unfortunately, I never got a cause for the problem, to be honest, I just know that what you describe is EXACTLY what was happening with my machine | 08:57 |
| rage | Hello, is the a program that can monitor a file and output any appended information, sort of like cat filename, but it does not exit and continues to cat contents of the file as information is appended to the end? | 08:58 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: So you are saying for me to try to disconnect the cable, put it back in? reset my modem and the router? | 08:58 |
| Theeb | ubuntu is running fine without the video card driver, should i install the driver for maximum performance? | 08:58 |
| Tokimi | Hi there folks! I've got a USB CD-ROM drive that isn't recognised by my BIOS, and hence, cannot be booted from. The laptop currently has fedora on there and it recognises the USB CD-ROM drive :D How would I go about installing ubuntu whilst already in linux? My primary CD-ROM is dead, btw. | 08:59 |
| Lord`Saladin | Name1411: Just take the ethernet out before shutting down Ubuntu. Restart the computer. Once you have logged back into Ubuntu, put the ethernet cable back in. That should work for you. | 08:59 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: So when I go to reboot to Ubuntu right now, I should have it out. Wait till I get to the desktop, and put it back in , see if it worked? | 08:59 |
| Lord`Saladin | Yes. | 09:00 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: BRB | 09:00 |
| Lord`Saladin | Just make sure you take the ethernet out BEFORE you reboot | 09:00 |

| Lord`Saladin | Though, admittedly, it DID take some time for mine to work again. | 09:13 |
| Lord`Saladin | Properly, at least. | 09:14 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: Are security updates still given to the earlier release? whatever LTS | 09:14 |
| Lord`Saladin | Yes, if you are on 8.04, you still get security updates. | 09:14 |
| Name1411 | Lord`Saladin: So in general, I could install 8.04 without any issues ? | 09:15 |
| Name1411 | if I so desired to anyway. | 09:15 |
| Lord`Saladin | Yes. | 09:15 |
| snek | Name1411: 8.04 is the Long Term Support version.. in a way you could say it is more reliable than installing 8.10 since it has existed longer and has longer guaranteed support/updates | 09:16 |
| Name1411 | Would I be bothered with "there's a big bad distro update!" notices ? | 09:16 |
| snek | Name1411: not by default.. unless a new LTS version is released | 09:16 |
| Lord`Saladin | Name1411: Nope. By default, LTS versions only notify you of LTS releases | 09:16 |
| Lord`Saladin | Lol. | 09:16 |
| rvb | help please | 09:17 |
| Name1411 | Perhaps that's an idea. | 09:17 |
| snek | Name1411: 8.10 is a "normal" version, and LTS will not auto update to a normal version | 09:17 |
| alex_21 | I fixed my server problem I think. Good night. Bani Bash | 09:17 |
| kek | what's the most common cause of having no sound (no error messages, it's just silent)? i can't find any errors in dmesg or syslog and i've checked that the volume is up in alsamixer and gnome volume control. | 09:17 |
| snek | turned off speakers or unplugged jacks? :P | 09:18 |
| Name1411 | Would I still be able to recive the newer desktops, and all that crap? Like KDE4 if I "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" ? | 09:18 |
| snek | Name1411: hmm it depends if it's in the repositories for hardy (8.04).. but i think there's a special KDE4 repo for hardy anyway | 09:18 |
| kek | snek: "but it works in windows" :) | 09:18 |
| Stratton | lol | 09:19 |
| snek | kek: hehe, just fooling around.. i can't say i have had that same problem | 09:19 |
| Name1411 | OK. I'll install it through Wubi before I decide if I want to install it for real. | 09:19 |
| Name1411 | Although Wubi seems slow | 09:20 |
| Name1411 | (NTFS?) | 09:20 |
| snek | name1411: wubi is only a few MB/s slower it seems.. my normal drive does about 75MB/s and in Wubi it does 68MB/s.. so not really that aparant for me | 09:20 |
| Name1411 | Well, when I click "Not now" or something like that on FireFox, it seems to 'animate' longer | 09:21 |
| Name1411 | when saving passwords or not | 09:21 |
| LoveGuru | hi, Need help with ssh .. im using Vmware and Ubuntu as guest OS, Using bridge connection, sshd running i check the process but i can't login to my server :< | 09:23 |
| arooni-mobile | question: is there a way on thunderbird on ubuntu hardy ... can run in the background? or be minimized in the tray | 09:24 |
| snek | i can't say i notice it, but i run Wubi on a core2duo 2.4Ghz OC'd to 3.1Ghz with 4GB ram and a 8800GT 512MB OC'd | 09:24 |
| Joshooa | Does anybody know why I am unable to choose a proprietary driver for my nvidia card? It tries to download but just doesn't activate at all, and every time I reboot I get errors and low graphics display | 09:25 |
| snek | LoveGuru: sounds like everything is setup ok.. i often use the same method and so far haven't had problems.. can you see anyting in /var/log/auth.log? | 09:25 |
| _inxs | hello, i updated to the latest kernel, and ubuntu is now running in low graphics mode, no driver detected, i reinstalled the nvidia driver. Still running on low resolution, cant set it higher. What am i doing wrong | 09:25 |
| snek | Joshooa: what nvidia card/chipset is it? | 09:25 |
| LoveGuru | snek: let me check | 09:25 |
| Joshooa | snek: It's an nvidia 7600 GS and I'm tried to use the recommended 177 driver it tells me to. I just want it to work so I can play WoW again. | 09:26 |
| snek | Joshooa: ok, i have a 7600GS as well, works fine so far.. you might want to check the Xorg and dmesg logs | 09:27 |
| snek | Joshooa: you could try using EnvyNG | 09:27 |
| Joshooa | snek: I'm sure it's xorg, I had 8.04 today and GLX wasn't working right, and I tried updating my driver to the one on the nvidia page which is apparently a big no no, since then it's been all messed up. | 09:27 |
| LoveGuru | snek: i found one entry says " sshd[6203] Server listening on :: port 22 | 09:28 |
| LoveGuru | " sshd[6203] Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22 | 09:28 |
| snek | Joshooa: hmm that was not a good idea no.. you have to uninstall the official one first then (but don't ask me how).. | 09:28 |
| LoveGuru | im trying to connect from my windows box. using putty client | 09:29 |
| snek | LoveGuru: you have no firewall installed? | 09:29 |
| Joshooa | snek: Yeah I can't find out how to uninstall for the life of me. I am almost ready to reformat but I have gigs and gigs of music and videos I can't save first so I am kinda stuck at this point | 09:29 |
| potwak | i'm leaving. bye all. | 09:29 |

| sloopy | snek, can you send some extra computrons over to my laptop? the 1066Mhz P3 is a little short... ;´) | 09:29 |
| LoveGuru | snek: no i dont have any firewall | 09:29 |
| _inxs | hello i updated to the new kernel and everythings messed up,graphic driver, lan driver. I booted in previous kernel, where everything worked perfectly, graphics still f*cked, how is this possible? | 09:30 |
| jim_p | !intel | 09:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel | 09:30 |

| snek | c:\wubi? | 09:31 |
| snek | Joshooa: envyng MIGHT uninstall the original nvidia driver for you... | 09:32 |
| LoveGuru | snek any ideaa? | 09:32 |

| wiehan | I need to ask a bit technical question and need a technical answer: What is the exact difference (if any) between ubuntu and xubuntu except for gnome vs. xfce and a different choice of out-of-the-box applications? Question 2: If I take ubuntu and install a very lightweight window manager such as JWM (j-window manager, or something?) would it be faster than xubuntu (or alternitavely xubuntu running the same JWM) | 09:38 |
| snek | LoveGuru: hmm ok, i'm at a loss then.. | 09:38 |
| LoveGuru | snek: could ya help me with NAT? if i switch again ? | 09:39 |
| LoveGuru | because NAT works fine .. but i dont know somehow it work :< | 09:39 |

| subdolus | Yo, every week or so I get the following when I try 'screen' something: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. | 09:40 |
| zeno | wiehan: 1.none 2.faster, i like xmonad and fluxbox myself | 09:40 |
| subdolus | so every week or so I have to su and chmod it... why does this keep on happening? | 09:40 |
| snek | LoveGuru: maybe depends what the problem is exactly | 09:40 |
| zeno | wiehan: but just install ubuntu server and then install jwm or whatever if you need speed | 09:40 |
| snek | zeno: good point, server is a good place to start :) | 09:40 |
| zeno | i use fluxbox on my ps3, xmonad on my laptop | 09:40 |
| wiehan | zeno thanks for the answer | 09:40 |
| wiehan | zeno another question: what would happen If I install ubuntu-resticted-extras on xubuntu | 09:41 |
| snek | zeno: wow xmonad is pretty damn minimal.. looks good for my old 500mhz laptop :) | 09:41 |

| Syrre | E: Broken packages", does anyone know what to do ? | 09:41 |
| zeno | wiehan: a ton of crud you dont need, just pick the packages you need from restricted extras individually. for instance use mplayer instead of the video codecs there | 09:42 |
| === Stratton is now known as StrattonBRB | ||
| zeno | snek: great for laptops in general, since touchpads suck | 09:42 |
| zeno | Syrre: fire up synaptic and find the fix broken thing | 09:43 |
| snek | zeno: gotta try it out, delicious'd it for the future :) | 09:43 |
| Syrre | zeno: iĺl try that one =P | 09:44 |
| LoveGuru | snek: which VMware are ya using? | 09:44 |
| wiehan | zeno: so mplayer (from ubuntu repositries, and NOT from medibuntu repositries) can run most-all 'restricted formats' such as mp3 and videos which does not work out of the box? | 09:44 |
| snek | LoveGuru: vmware fusion on a mac, and vmware workstation at home under vista64 | 09:44 |
| zeno | snek: its easy to hack too, source is in haskell and tiny | 09:45 |
| LoveGuru | snek: my question is for Vmware Workstation. | 09:45 |
| btoogood | evening all | 09:45 |
| LoveGuru | snek: What did u set there in VMware tab Edit/Virtual network Editor/NAT/EDIT/ There is Gateway right there.. what should i set there? | 09:45 |

| zeno | mabye can though =p | 09:45 |

| btoogood | hey how stable is it to up grade to 8.10 through apt as stated through the wiki? | 09:47 |
| LoveGuru | wiijii: i m using Vmware Workstation and Ubuntu as Guest not virtual box. | 09:47 |
| wiijii | yeah | 09:47 |
| snek | LoveGuru: normally I would say your router ip... but I can't say that for a fact since i can't verify my settings at the moment | 09:47 |

| zeno | wiehan: yup | 09:50 |
| onceuponastack | penrith: do a google search for clamav sourceforge | 09:50 |

| zeno | penrith: none anti virus is a black list which is resource hogging and ineffective | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !best | penrith | 10:01 |
| ubottu | penrith: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:01 |
| zeno | penrith: the better way is good security to prevent the virii | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zeno: its handy for mail servers and samba shares | 10:01 |
| zeno | ActionParsnip1: speaking of which know why when i cped a folder to a samba share its much larger there? ntfs takes more space per file or something? | 10:02 |
| zeno | ActionParsnip1: gmail handles spam/viruses pretty nicely | 10:03 |
| zeno | and now that it has imap works great for me | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zeno: sure, but if you run your own mailserver, its very attractive | 10:04 |

| DeFi | Hi everyone, when my pppoe connection is connected i cannot access my local network, i cannot ping any local ips etc. but when i disconnect it the network works fine again. my friend has the same problem with his ubuntu. | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | subdolus: was just suggesting, sheesh | 10:11 |
| subdolus | ActionParsnip1: if you want to be a super-hero irc tech support dude, you should start with reading the original question | 10:11 |
| belleke | can i use the server edition for a barebone installation? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | subdolus: i did and suggested a solution | 10:11 |
| subdolus | anyone else have any idea why my /var/run/screen dir keeps having to be chmod'd by root? | 10:11 |
| fasta | zeno: do not waste the time of other people. | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | subdolus: forget it | 10:12 |
| blip- | how can i tell ubuntu where my swap partition is ? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFi: does your ppoe connection use the same ip range as your lan? | 10:12 |
| zeno | fasta: yes master i do as you command. would you like a fresh beverage? | 10:12 |
| _inxs | wining hour? | 10:12 |
| fasta | zeno: you made it to my ignore list. | 10:12 |
| zeno | OH NOES how could this have happened to me? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blip-: you add it in /etc/fstab | 10:13 |
| DeFi | ActionParsnip1: No | 10:14 |
| DeFi | it does not | 10:14 |
| filipegarcia_ | can anyone help me creating udev rules in ttyS0 and lp0 port???? | 10:14 |
| DeFi | internet ips are 196 range | 10:14 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | could anyone tell me what download throttle is in rtorrent (ubuntu torrent program) | 10:14 |
| [ZAF]-Coral | ##windows | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFi: ok cool | 10:14 |
| DeFi | my lan ip is 192 | 10:14 |
| blip- | ActionParsnip1: it's already there but using UUID format which may have changed since i changed my partion structure. is it ok to say something like "/dev/sda6 none swap sw 0 0" in my fstab ? | 10:15 |
| wiijii | Does anyone have experience setting up VirtualBox with host networking please? | 10:15 |
| KernalKrunK | hey do any of you guys have folding@home installed? | 10:15 |
| DeFi | ActionParsnip1: do you know why its doing it? | 10:15 |
| [ZAF]-Coral | Wow there are no people in windows :P | 10:15 |
| [ZAF]-Coral | Thanking the lord | 10:15 |
| zeno | wiijii: yes add guest additions | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFi: you'll probably find that ALL data is going down the pppoe connection which wont find your router | 10:16 |
| chn_boy | zeno: at least one panel can't be deleted??? | 10:16 |
| DeFi | ActionParsnip1: well how do i fix it? | 10:16 |
| zeno | chn_boy: im not sure, but if it cant just hide it | 10:16 |
| wiijii | zeno Sorry I should have been more clear. I have Ubuntu server installed on vbox inside Ubuntu desktop | 10:16 |
| DeFi | ActionParsnip1: it shouldnt go that by default | 10:16 |
| zeno | chn_boy: and never open it | 10:16 |
| wiijii | I want to set up static IP for the guest OS. I can't even get the eth0 or br0 bridge to appear in the guest OS though | 10:16 |
| wiijii | I followed the guide at ubuntu help | 10:16 |
| zeno | wiijii: make sure its using nat | 10:17 |
| DeFi | !networknotworkingwithpppoeconnected | 10:18 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:18 |
| wiijii | zeno I did. When I first booted it was using NAT, eth0 appeared, but there was no connectivity. Now I;'ve tried to set up host networking with a bridge, and it's all gone downhill | 10:18 |
| wiijii | Apparently I need host networking to accept connections in the guest OS | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFi: i think you maybe need to add some routes | 10:19 |
| DeFi | ActionParsnip1: it shouldn't do this by default, there must be a way to fix the issue without adding routes manually | 10:21 |
| DeFi | :/ | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFi: i doubt it but it will definately help. i see what you mean though, the 2 different networks being managed due to their addresses | 10:21 |
| DeFi | hmm | 10:22 |
| belleke | can i use the server edition for a barebone installation?its on a laptop with 512mb memory and a processor of 1.6 ghz.will there be problems with the kernel i'm using wifi at home | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | belleke: should be fine with a desktop system | 10:23 |
| zeno | wiijii: do you have guest additions installed? btw dont use ping to test netowrk ping is broken in vbox | 10:23 |
| manish | i have lost my sleep button and power manager. How do i get it back | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiijii: set default gateway to your routers ip and dns server to 10.0.2.3 | 10:24 |
| belleke | thx dude | 10:24 |
| DeFirence | ActionParsnip1, my routes look like this: | 10:25 |

| DeFirence | what route would i need to add or change for it to work ActionParsnip1 ? | 10:26 |
| wiijii | what should /etc/vbox/interfaces look like? I didn't have that file originally, and now I've put the vbox/br0 entries in it | 10:26 |
| manish | ActionParsnip how do i get my sleep button and powermanager back | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFirence: surely it should be 196.209.0.0 instead of 196-209-22-1-nn | 10:27 |
| DeFirence | thats default | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DeFirence: ive not used vpn / pppoe in ubuntu | 10:27 |

| icesword | hello, everybody | 10:34 |
| bob_ | ActionParsnip1: I found a guide online and followed the steps but it didn't work I guess, it was command line. Maybe I should try GUI? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bob_: you can use gparted, fdisk or cfdisk to partition it | 10:34 |
| penrith | hey ice how good r u on linux | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bob_: either is fine, you could even partition in windows and format it in linux | 10:34 |
| bob_ | ActionParsnip1: OK I am going to try that. I'll be back with details. Thank!!!!!! | 10:35 |
| icesword | penrith, err, like what | 10:35 |

| meganox | ActionParsnip1: no idea ;) I'm just reading about LVM and saw an example doing it ext3 and was wondering where i'd got my info from to do it ext2. LVM also requires the distro set up the initrd's properly in order to put / on a LV | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | meganox: ext3 is ext2 wit a journal | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | meganox: considering /boot will be about 10mb, its not wort it | 10:41 |

| ActionParsnip1 | penrith: then run sudo freshclam | 10:51 |

| Theeb | ActionParsnip1, the question should i use it to control the volume or not lol, the PCM | 10:51 |

| wiehan | If I install a VERY light window manager on ubuntu such as xnomad or jwm, and still use gnome applications, such as gnome-games, would that be defeating the whole point of switching to a light window manager, because running a gnome game will place the gnome libraries in memory and will result in no real speed increase??? | 10:55 |

| zaza86 | salve a tutti | 11:00 |
| wiehan | ActionParsnip1: well, any gnome app for arguments sake; and what do you mean the graphics will be lighter - I want the trechincal answer, wouldn't opening a gnome application cause that the gnome libraries will be loaded into the RAM (and especially on a very old computer, with very little RAM - that would be a problem), or am I misunderstanding something? Let me ask this subjectively as well: will there be a bug speed increase running gome | 11:00 |
| wiehan | apps under a lightweight window manger as opposed to under gnome itself? | 11:00 |
| |MUSE| | I dont need one | 11:00 |

| === [c0re] is now known as internetz | ||

| |MUSE| | I was just taking a guess, cause first RAIHAN was spamming, then [c0re].. | 11:01 |

| meganox | you will have more ram available for apps becasue the desktop won't be using as much, even if they are gnome apps you are running | 11:01 |

| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: i think you are mixing window manager with desktop environment | 11:02 |

| msata | Hello all, I have installed ubuntu intrepid fresh install on a vmware box, my problem is that the mouse pointer behaves very strange. When I move the mouse, the pointer that I see, moves a different distance than the one in ubuntu. I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf to compare with my old one from my 8.04 box, and I found it's nearly empty and lacking the InputDevice section. How can I solve this, was this file moved? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: meganox suggestion of running xubuntu uses a lighter desktop environment than gnome but you cna still run metacity on to of it if you want | 11:04 |
| wiehan | meganox: Well, I only have ubuntu 8.10 32bit, so I don't want to download xubuntu, I was planning on installing ubuntu and just downloading jwm or xnomad | 11:04 |
| meganox | wiehan: well as ActionParsnip1 says it will be snappier | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: i'd install ubuntu then use fluxbox for lightness | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: but you will have all the gnome apps you like | 11:05 |
| RAIHAN | oihsdkj | 11:05 |
| wiehan | ActionParsnip1: Why fluxbox instead of jwm or xnomad | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: i personally use kde + fluxbox | 11:05 |
| meganox | wiehan: the main restricion will be on how many apps you can run, not whether they are gnome apps or not | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: personal preference, if you prefer those then use them | 11:05 |
| internetz | hi, i cannot use hddtemp without sudo.. anyidea? | 11:05 |
| meganox | make sure you make a big enough swap | 11:05 |
| wiehan | ActionParsnip1: So my idea of taking ubuntu and using a lighter WM has some merit to it? Will it be worthwhile on this old laptop? | 11:06 |

| meganox | wiehan: you can't install on less than 384MB ram with the desktop cd anyway, you need the alternate cd for that | 11:06 |
| meganox | wiehan: yes | 11:06 |
| RAIHAN | qodwiakklj | 11:07 |
| internetz | meganox, the alternate cd has gnome? | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wiehan: absolutely, the desktop will be more responsive due to less graphical fluff | 11:07 |
| meganox | internetz: yes, it just uses a text-based installer | 11:07 |
| wiehan | ActionParsnip1 & meganox: thanks | 11:07 |
| internetz | oh ok | 11:08 |
| meganox | wiehan: np | 11:08 |

| |MUSE| | victamower: I have the same problem, however I compensate with an amplifier. :P | 11:15 |
| meganox | KernalKrunK: type "ps aux | grep fold" into a terminal window (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) | 11:15 |
| AndyB | Lusule, i believe that error is when there is trouble mounting the selected drive | 11:15 |

| wiijii | victamower obvious question maybe, but with mine, I have a front/rear fader to change relative volume for front/rear speakers.... | 11:16 |

| wiijii | AndyB How d'you mean? You made the boot CD and it doesn't boot? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AndyB: you could always put a small /boot partition on the internal drive | 11:22 |
| meganox | deadlylife: /var/lib/dpkg is completely gone with no backup? i would think that was a very bad situation | 11:22 |
| SlimeyPete | lianimator: check out http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~alanjawi/cs449/code/shell/UnixSignals.htm for a full list by the way :) | 11:22 |

| PeskyJ | does user privileges simply add/remove users from groups or does it do other things too? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AndyB: then you could add the config there to boot the usb | 11:22 |

| ubuntoRoxx | stdiopt: what is an rpm package? | 12:00 |
| ardchoille | ubuntoRoxx: java jdk is in the repos, you need to enable multiverse and then install i8t | 12:00 |

| ardchoille | !terminal | ubuntoRoxx yes :) | 12:20 |
| ubottu | ubuntoRoxx yes :): The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 12:20 |

| ubottu | terryx: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 12:21 |
| stdiopt | whatta? | 12:22 |
| PeskyJ | terryx: by installing the correct graphics driver for your card | 12:22 |
| Neaai | darryl: can't you try to use "sudo su - otherusername" to achive the login as another user ? | 12:22 |
| stdiopt | to restart X we need to sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart? | 12:22 |
| stdiopt | how about ctrl+alt+backspace? | 12:22 |
| terryx | i have nvdiafx5500 | 12:22 |
| terryx | its auto installed | 12:22 |
| terryx | so what i do | 12:22 |
| darryl | Neaai: Let me try that. | 12:22 |
| terryx | ? | 12:22 |
| ardchoille | stdin: ctrl+alt+backspace is a dirty way of doing it, better with sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 12:23 |
| ardchoille | stdin: be advised that will also kill xchat if you're using xchat | 12:23 |

| darryl | Neaai: Ok. | 12:26 |
| stdiopt | probably that restart gives a kill to X and manager | 12:26 |
| stdiopt | wich is not so diferent than ctrl+alt+backspace | 12:27 |
| ardchoille | [e]Lement: evolution integrates mjuch better into other aspects of the desktop than thunderbird is able | 12:27 |

| ActionParsnip1 | guest6294: ive seen that around the plac, have a websearch | 13:06 |
| Neaai | paul68: uid 1000 is by convention the first user added. While the uid will be 1000 at anycase, the name of tha user can differ, but still the first user id will be in most cases if not in all, uid=1000 | 13:06 |

| JoaoRodrigues | doubt it | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | PeskyJ: oic | 13:10 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, my fdisk shows weird stuff | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | PeskyJ: python is good at that | 13:10 |
| daniele | . | 13:10 |
| JoaoRodrigues | where it would show ext3 (my stuff) it shows: W95 Ext'd | 13:11 |
| zoopster | PeskyJ: so maybe gtk based - I would look for a gtk channel - there won't be any specifically ubuntu you will want to find a channel that is related to what you are writing to... | 13:11 |
| blunderbomb | anyhelp would be greatly appreciated | 13:11 |
| dmay | JoaoRodrigues: your partition contains important info? /home? | 13:11 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: usb flash, compactflash? can your bios boot from it? | 13:12 |
| JoaoRodrigues | yep :x | 13:12 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, it has pretty much everthing | 13:12 |
| dmay | JoaoRodrigues: its bad... | 13:12 |
| blunderbomb | zoopster nope | 13:12 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, what happened? | 13:12 |
| blunderbomb | usb flash | 13:12 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, I hit the wrong grub option and it ran the Recovery partition of Vista. Then it started acting like this.. | 13:12 |
| dmay | JoaoRodrigues: omg | 13:13 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, yeah, major fail :x | 13:13 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: if it cannot boot from it...not sure you would want to boot from cd then call usb ...but if you can boot then make a specific call to /dev/sdxx or whatever the device name is you can mount and init from it | 13:13 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, but it didn't run nothing, it just hang usually at the big ERROR screen.. so I supposed it'd be ok.. | 13:14 |
| JoaoRodrigues | any idea on how to get info back? | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JoaoRodrigues: restore from backup | 13:14 |
| blunderbomb | zoopster: so bake a cd bootable...put in a code that calls up the thumb drive to run? a .ini file in particular? | 13:15 |
| JoaoRodrigues | ActionParsnip1: restore from backup? how come? | 13:15 |
| dmay | JoaoRodrigues: only hit i can give: try to mount this partition >>in R/O mode<< and dd it to somewhere | 13:15 |
| pngla | stdiopt, about the resolution problem at login, is it possible to get it to load everything before login? | 13:15 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: erase your windows memory | 13:15 |
| blunderbomb | how do you init from it | 13:15 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, how do I do that actually :x ? (maybe pvt would be betteR) | 13:15 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: boot from cd into grub then use the grub commands to call the kernel from the usb drive | 13:15 |
| dmay | JoaoRodrigues: i dont remember all options of mount and dd commands ) | 13:16 |
| vegombrei | ActionParsnip1: doesnt help :( | 13:16 |
| JoaoRodrigues | dmay, what's the R/O mode? (I'll google it) | 13:16 |
| dmay | JoaoRodrigues: read only | 13:16 |
| stdiopt | pngla i did correct that, almost removing my all homedir setup and reconfiguring stuff, but u should able to do that in a specific file that i'm not aware off | 13:16 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: you will need to test to see 1) if you can see the usb drive prior to the kernel loading - if you cannot boot from usb then most likely you cannot boot from cd and call the kernel from the usb drive | 13:16 |
| JoaoRodrigues | ahm :D | 13:16 |
| blunderbomb | thanks zoopster, grub comes live? shopuld i look for bootable grub then? | 13:17 |
| stdiopt | pngla somewhere in .* files | 13:17 |
| vegombrei | ActionParsnip1: tried the stuff they said in the forum link u sent me .. also im using intrepid those instructions were for breezy i guess | 13:17 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: if you want to boot from cd then mount the usb drive...that's pretty easy and simply mount /dev/sxxxx to a mount point | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vegombrei: what doesnt? | 13:17 |
| pngla | stdiopt I'm not sure I understand what you mean. What config files should I look at? | 13:17 |
| zoopster | blunderbomb: use the ubuntu livecd...you can do it all from there | 13:17 |

| AndyB | ActionParsnip1, Thanks | 13:33 |
| j2daosh | yeah, waiting for everything to come down, not a hard shutdown which cuts the power | 13:33 |
| AndyB | wiijii, Not to good. need to reboot again, shall inform you in a sec =] | 13:33 |
| j2daosh | its not graceful like init 6/init 0 | 13:33 |
| wiijii | AndyB OK | 13:33 |
| j2daosh | but its not a power cut off hard reboot | 13:33 |
| habit | Hello. I have usplash very stretched during boot on widescreen monitor. Looks horrible, advice me please. | 13:33 |
| ikonia | j2daosh: I get that, but if he holds down the power button for 6 seconds it will power off | 13:33 |
| ikonia | 60 seconds sorry | 13:33 |
| j2daosh | yeah, he said he pressed the power button and then waits 60 seconds | 13:34 |
| j2daosh | not holds it down for 60 seconds | 13:34 |
| wrathchild9 | ikonia: if i press the button i get a dialog box which says if i don't choose anything from the list (shut down, reboot, hybernation), it will shut down automatically in 60 seconds | 13:34 |
| ikonia | ahhhh | 13:34 |
| ikonia | your not holding it in | 13:34 |
| j2daosh | :) | 13:34 |
| wrathchild9 | nope i don't :) | 13:34 |

| wrathchild9 | so do you have any idea what causes it? | 13:35 |
| yao_ziyuan | http://i38.tinypic.com/rkpzy9.png | 13:35 |
| ikonia | wrathchild9: I suggest the first thing you do is open a gnome-terminal as soon as you login and run "vmstat 2" it should keep a window active, the next time it hangs see if that window freezes or keeps working | 13:35 |
| === sean is now known as Guest94819 | ||
| blunderbomb | thx for your help zoop..etc the main reason i wanted to boot from usb even with cd.. is so i could eject the cd to use it where many live distros dont let you do that | 13:36 |
| wrathchild9 | ikonia: if it's frozen it does everything just doesn't react to the mouse and keyboard either | 13:37 |
| ikonia | wrathchild9: open the terminal and start the command I suggested before it freezes | 13:37 |
| ikonia | wrathchild9: are the keyboard and mouse wirless ? | 13:37 |
| wrathchild9 | nope | 13:37 |

| wrathchild9 | ikonia: it's strange... it's frozen, but I can do everything via ssh... caps, num and scroll lock don't react | 13:41 |

| wrathchild9 | i've already tried it | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | j2daosh: if you rename your interfaces file and reboot you will get a fresh one, you ca then use your network config tool to setup the connection | 13:42 |
| j2daosh | ubuntu is debian based, fedora is made by redhat | 13:42 |
| wrathchild9 | j2daosh: i've already tried it | 13:42 |
| j2daosh | ActionParsnip1: really now... time to give that a go and see what happens | 13:42 |
| wrathchild9 | j2daosh: it doensn't work | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | j2daosh: i personally use seperate interface files for all networks i use and have a script to copy the right one in | 13:43 |
| j2daosh | ill brb if this dont work | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | j2daosh: cd /etc/network/; sudo mv ./interfaces ./interfaces_old | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | j2daosh: then reboot | 13:43 |
| j2daosh | ActionParsnip1: yeah but im not "paranoid" :P... i just want my wireless to work like it would on windows... a network is near, let me connect to it | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | j2daosh: you could try a different app, like wifi-radar | 13:44 |
| j2daosh | but i get no signal regardless of the AP | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | j2daosh: i just use cli lots so for me it makes sense | 13:44 |

| erUSUL | Neaai: nothing you can still use it. ifaces listed in interfaces will be ignored by network manager | 15:07 |
| cutterjohn | I made the grave error of installing the kubuntu base package last night to take a look at it. Attempted to use it for a few hours, then decided to ditch it in disgust. But now under GNOME I find that my brightness level widget no longer appears AND worse yet I'm stuck with that awful kubuntu splash screen. Does anyone know of an easy way to get those back to the original ubuntu setup again w/o re-installing everything? | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | Neaai: you have to edit interfaces with a text editor though | 15:09 |

| Neaai | erUSUL: I see. Also some other thing I've noticed. My default gateway knows how to route the ip block 169.254.1.0/24. When I add a route for 169.254.0.0/16 to go to my gateway ip, nothing happens. My box and the gateway have public ip addresses. Is there any option that prevents the packets related to the private 169.254 block from ever exiting ? | 15:10 |

| guest6294 | so ... can anyone help me set up my broadcom? I am running the default restricted driver Broadcom STA Wireless and I have trouble connecting to anything. My Broadcom is Broadcom 4311 running on an Ubuntu 8.10. I removed the buggy network manager, and for some arcane reason the wireless is detected as an eth1 instead of a wlan0 or something else. The interfaces file has the correct syntax for it. | 16:11 |
| radecek | hello | 16:11 |
| LjL | guest6294: and it refers to eth1 or wlan0? | 16:12 |
| meganox | guest6294: you could try wicd | 16:12 |
| meganox | !wicd | guest6294 | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 16:12 |
| guest6294 | LjL, it is refered as eth1 | 16:12 |
| guest6294 | meganox: Yeah, I could, if I get my network up lol ... | 16:13 |
| meganox | guest6294: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php | 16:13 |
| meganox | guest6294: you are on irc, i assumed you were connected somehow ;) | 16:13 |
| LjL | guest6294: you could try renaming it (not sure it'd help). edit /etc/iftab and add: wlan0 mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where the X's are your card's MAC address | 16:14 |
| guest6294 | meganox, from another machine :) | 16:14 |
| Neaai | guest6294: I'd think it's correct the refference to eth1 and not wlan0 | 16:15 |
| guest6294 | LjL: another trouble is, if I include the auto eth1 stuff plus the dhcp stuff in my interfaces file, when I try to set the mode manually using iwconfig, it gives me SET failed on device, invalid argument error | 16:15 |
| wiehan | what is the quick and simple command to clear the font cache (or reload it) in ubuntu? | 16:15 |

| guest6294 | Neaai, I dont care how it's named really, i cant connect to anything | 16:15 |
| kbrooks | guest6294, how are you running iwconfig? | 16:15 |
| guest6294 | kbrooks, as root in command line | 16:16 |

| radecek | my ubuntu is stop boot on 7 ports detected, ... new hight speed usb.. Haw can I fix this? tkx :) | 16:16 |
| Neaai | guest6294: when "lspci | grep Broadcom" is it properly listed or has some word 'unknown' there ? | 16:16 |
| LjL | wiehan: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" or "sudo fc-cache -f -v" | 16:16 |

| guest6294 | Neaai: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 16:17 |

| ratpoison | hello! pulseaudio server keeps crashing, Intrepid amd64 user. What to do? | 16:19 |
| guest6294 | well, it is correct, the trouble is ... I dunno, even the LEDS are working in reverse, when the led is off the wireless works and vice versa | 16:19 |
| mphill | DarkKnight: -f is the force parameter, but if it won't mount it won't mount. | 16:19 |
| guest6294 | and I cant afford a macbook so im stuck with this broadcom crap | 16:19 |
| === justizin is now known as bitmonk | ||
| DarkKnight | mphill; so wats th exact command | 16:19 |
| mphill | mount -f device target | 16:20 |
| mphill | or man mount | 16:20 |
| ratpoison | DarkKnight: what are you trying to mount? | 16:20 |
| DarkKnight | patpoison; i have 2 HDD.. one is installed with XP...Xp crashed...and ther are some files on desktop..which i have to get back | 16:21 |
| guest6294 | so, no one can help eh? | 16:21 |
| Neaai | guest6294: This might be useful to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2431305#post2431305 | 16:21 |
| ratpoison | DarkKnight: For ease of use, try typing part of my nick and pressing tab, so that I can tell when you speak to me | 16:22 |
| guest6294 | Neaai: then why the hell those people use an official broadcom driver? | 16:22 |
| ratpoison | DarkKnight: now, first create a temporary folder in /media or /mnt for example, /media/tempdisk | 16:23 |
| mphill | DarkKnight: why are you trying to force the mount? you don't have to do that. is the try NTFS or FAT32? | 16:23 |
| mphill | s/try/drive | 16:23 |
| ratpoison | DarkKnight: this is done with $ sudo mkdir /media/tempdisk | 16:24 |
| pelle2 | inget resultat.. hmm | 16:24 |
| ratpoison | DarkKnight: then it's $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/<appropriate_device_name> /media/tempdisk -f | 16:25 |
| Neaai | guest6294: I believe the results vary on a combination of facts, not only the wireless interface manufacturer. As in chipset/processor too. I've had the same sort of isues with Atheros. One intel laptop used it fine, another that was amd64 didn't use it unless I messed with it for a while and compiled the module myself. | 16:25 |
| n0yd | Does the 8.10 kernel have ext4 support (experimental) built in or would that require a recompile? | 16:25 |
| mphill | ratpoison: XP can also be fat32. But it is probably ntfs if he is having issues mounting. | 16:26 |
| DarkKnight | mphill; i m not sure bcoz i installed XP long time back...most probably shld be NTFS | 16:26 |
| mphill | n0yd: I do not believe so, mkfs.ext4 is there but you can not mount | 16:26 |
| mphill | DarkKnight: then do what ratpoison said | 16:26 |
| n0yd | K, just curious | 16:26 |
| n0yd | Thx | 16:26 |
| ratpoison | mphill: you're right DarkKnight: check your System > Admin > Partition Editor and see what type is your partition | 16:27 |
| mphill | ratpoison: I don't think gparted is installed by default | 16:27 |
| ratpoison | DarkKnight: if such an entry doesn't exist, first do a sudo apt-get install gparted | 16:27 |

| ratpoison | vignesh: and creating packages isn't an admin task? then what is? | 16:31 |

| L0neWolf | ne2k__, I can forward to my IP from the router, I can do it in Windows easily enough but I'm new to Linux | 16:34 |
| SlimeyPete | c0d3dm1nd: trackers communicate via http so I think you can just send a list request of some kind and then parse the response. You'd be better off asking in a web programming channel though. | 16:34 |
| ne2k__ | L0neWolf: install one of the http servers then and forward port 80 to your box through your router | 16:34 |
| c0d3dm1nd | SlimeyPete: Thanks! | 16:34 |
| L0neWolf | ne2k__, is there one you'd recommend in particular? | 16:34 |

| meganox | L0neWolf: yousendit.com, megaupload.com | 16:34 |
| ne2k__ | L0neWolf: haven't used anything other than apache but it's a bit heavyweight for your needs. try lighttpd, boa or fnord | 16:35 |
| L0neWolf | meganox, they'd see it as illegal, it isn't but they'd see it that way | 16:35 |

| kpuljek | i need help disabling the screensaver in ubuntu. i disabled it in screensaver settings, xscreensaver settings, i disabled it in the gconf-editor, i prevented it's processes to start, i checked the box in all of my players to disable the screensaver, and it still goes blank after 10 minutes :| | 16:47 |
| pLr | NicEXE: then repeat your test | 16:47 |
| pLr | pronoy: ubuntu has LTS and non LTS, go to ubuntu.com to read about LTS | 16:47 |
| zleap | kpuljek: that could be a power saving thing for the monitor | 16:47 |
| apelW | how do I use a public key to login to a server? do I need to add command line parametres to ssh? | 16:47 |
| DRebellion | pronoy, long term support (LTS) releases are officially supported with security/bug fixes for much longer than non-LTS releases | 16:47 |
| nil | ne2k__: yep, US/GB, OK | 16:47 |
| NicEXE | pLr: type that to my terminal? | 16:47 |
| pLr | NicEXE: yes | 16:47 |
| kpuljek | zleap: it's not. that i disabled and it didn't do any more problems, this is a screensaver | 16:47 |

| kek | what's the proper way to prevent a module from being loaded (or remove it) at startup? | 16:48 |
| zleap | hmm | 16:48 |
| kek | kernel module | 16:48 |
| apelW | mphill: I know. I mean when I want to connect with that | 16:48 |
| mphill | apelW: then copy .ssh/id_rsa.pub to the host's .ssh/authorized_keys | 16:48 |
| pLr | how can i get the mirror list from synaptic through the command line? | 16:48 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: so would it be advisable to install intrepid ? | 16:48 |
| NicEXE | pLr: permission denied | 16:48 |
| DRebellion | pronoy, i would recommend intrepid | 16:48 |
| pLr | NicEXE: add sudo before the command | 16:48 |
| mphill | apelW: then you will be in ssh key bliss | 16:49 |
| NicEXE | pLr: i did | 16:49 |
| Neaai | pLr: of what's available or what you are using currently ? | 16:49 |
| Pici | pLr, NicEXE: You can't use IO redirection with sudo directly, so do something like: echo "text" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file instead | 16:49 |
| pLr | Neaai: available | 16:49 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: but it won't be supported for long ?! | 16:49 |
| guest6294 | what's the "Default" wireless connection always appearing in ubuntu? For some strange reason, although I broadcast my network name, it is not see, any other network in the neighborhood is seen | 16:50 |
| DarkKnight | ratpoison; its not working that way... | 16:50 |
| pLr | Pici: yes im aware thx | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | pronoy, not as long as the LTS releases, but then you can just update to 9.04 (jaunty) when it comes out! ;) | 16:50 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: yeah...i guess....thanks for support | 16:51 |
| PeskyJ | I've installed mplayer and ubuntu-restricted-extras but still can't play DVDs - mplayer just goes black and unresponsive - is there another package to install? | 16:51 |
| pLr | NicEXE: here it is : sudo echo "www.rapidshare.com rapidshare.com" | tee -a /etc/hosts | 16:51 |
| Neaai | pLr: I doubt there's such a thing. Mirror lists can change everyday so your best bet is to check the webpage, or some convention as in: deb http://XX.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 16:51 |
| pLr | NicEXE: here it is : sudo echo "www.rapidshare.com rapidshare.com" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts | 16:51 |
| DarkKnight | mphill; its not working that way | 16:51 |
| Neaai | pLr: where XX are the country codes of the mirror: it, de, au, etc. | 16:52 |
| mphill | what is the error, msg me | 16:52 |
| pLr | Neaai: when using synaptic under repositories you can choose a list of mirrors, i want to find the file that contains this list | 16:52 |
| bor1 | (hardy -> intrepid upgrade) When running 'apt-get dist-upgrade -s' (hardy -> intrepid), I get the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2". The update-manager graphical tool doesn't work either, possibly for the same reason. apt-get install libsasl2-2 fails with the same error. Ideas? | 16:52 |
| rootrot | how do i run a .sh file? | 16:53 |
| meganox | rootrot: chmod a+x script.sh | 16:54 |
| kebomix | hello , i have boot sector virus and i cant install even Ubuntu and Windows Xp , any Solutions that ? | 16:54 |
| meganox | rootrot: to mark it executable | 16:54 |
| DarkKnight | hey how can we forcefully mount a drive | 16:55 |
| pLr | bor1: apt-get remove libsasl2; apt-get install libsasl2 .. then retest | 16:55 |
| meganox | rootrot: then run it by name | 16:55 |
| meganox | rootrot: e.g. /path/to/script.sh | 16:55 |
| mphill | rootrot: or sh script_name.sh | 16:55 |
| pLr | when using synaptic under repositories you can choose a list of mirrors, where is the file that contains this list??? | 16:55 |
| mphill | rootrot: or sh ./script_name.sh rather | 16:55 |
| rootrot | meganox: david@IceWeasel:~/Desktop$ chmod a+x URT41.sh | 16:55 |
| rootrot | david@IceWeasel:~/Desktop$ URT41.sh | 16:55 |
| rootrot | bash: URT41.sh: command not found | 16:55 |
| rootrot | 16:55 | |
| cutterjohn | LjL: well I wrote a script to drag out all that had been removed, then compared it with partial packages and manually looked over it for other missing items instead of completely re-installing | 16:55 |
| FloodBot2 | rootrot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:55 |
| bor1 | pLr: I thought of that; apt depends on libsasl2, though, so it's not the best solution :) | 16:55 |
| rootrot | nm i gots it | 16:56 |
| Neaai | pLr: I can't find anything about that. I know what you mean, i just don't know where that list is stored. | 16:56 |
| Maizcul | Hey hey | 16:56 |
| apelW | mphill: ok. then what do I do? ssh -Y "hostname" ? | 16:56 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: good idea | 16:56 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: all seems to be goodish again... but ... er.. unclean... but I guess it was a couple days after install anyways | 16:56 |
| pLr | Neaai: yeah I think i need a developer | 16:56 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: also saw the weirdest CPU scaling behavior, manually look at procinfo, the 2 CPUs were listed at running at different speeds... I didn't know that, that was even possible | 16:57 |
| xteejx | ! lunt | DarkKnight | 16:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lunt | 16:57 |

| LjL | cutterjohn: i think it is, i've seen evidence of that happening on my eeepc | 16:57 |
| mphill | apelW: no need for -Y should just be automatic | 16:57 |
| Maizcul | Anyone help me out with keyboard issues? | 16:57 |
| xteejx | maybe not | 16:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pLr do you mean /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 16:57 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: the N10j or the original Eee? | 16:58 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: an EeePC 901 | 16:58 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: SSD? | 16:58 |
| pLr | when using synaptic under repositories you can choose a list of all mirrors, where is the file that contains this list??? | 16:58 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: yes, with Atom processor | 16:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pLr do you mean /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 16:58 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow:not sources.list | 16:58 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: yeah, the N270, they all pretty much come withthat now | 16:58 |
| apelW | mphill: ok. ssh hostname.domainname didn't work from the linux computer. but it still works from the windows computer. | 16:58 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow: it does not contain all ubuntu mirrors | 16:58 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: well, the 900 is still sold with a Celeron | 16:58 |
| Maizcul | I'm on a Sony Vaio PCG-K195BP laptop from 2004, trying to get the "fn" key working so I can do things like "fn"+"F4" for volume up. | 16:58 |
| apelW | do I have to make a new key or does it work for both? | 16:59 |
| Maizcul | I have absolutely no idea how to go about getting it to work :( | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pLr since anyone can create a mirror I doubt you will find a list like that | 16:59 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: yep, plus there's one thats based on a Via C7M or something too, but not Asus | 16:59 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: yes, the HP MiniNote if i'm not mistaken | 16:59 |
| kebomix | hello , i have bad sector virus on my hard disk MBR , and i cant install ubuntu ? !!!! any solutions ? | 16:59 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: anyway, the Atom presents itself as dual-core, and my scaling applets often showed different speeds - although it might just be the applets' fault | 16:59 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow: I have already found the list within the GUI of synaptic.. I want to find the file that has this list | 16:59 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: might be, but I ws thinking about a Japanese one (tiny company) has a PowerVR based GPU integrated (Via) | 17:00 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: Chrome9 maybe? | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pLr can you direct me to the part of synaptic you are refering to.. | 17:00 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: don't know about that | 17:00 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: where are all the softwares installed...i mean which folder...e.g /etc ? | 17:01 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: so how is the Eee? | 17:01 |
| pLr | bor1: you can remove libsasl2-2 i just tested it, it will remove other progs you must take note of and reinstall also, then continue should work... or try apt-get check | 17:01 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow: yes.. loading synaptic 1 sec | 17:01 |
| DRebellion | pronoy, software is spread around the file system, for example /etc/ contains configuration files. | 17:01 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: do you really get TONs of battery life? | 17:01 |
| elad` | How do I get the man files for C/C++ installed? | 17:01 |
| apelW | mphill: can I use the same key for two clients? | 17:01 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: slightly more than 5 hours with wifi enabled (and nothing else enabled) | 17:01 |
| mphill | apelW: yes | 17:02 |
| LjL | elad`: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev | 17:02 |
| apelW | hmm | 17:02 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: so during installation which folder needs to be alloted maximum space....if needed ? | 17:02 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow: Settings -> Repositories -> click on the Download From: drop down -> Choose Other... -> this is the list | 17:02 |
| mphill | teh client get the file .ssh/id_rsa the server gets .ssh/authorized_hosts | 17:02 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow: i just need it from the cli | 17:02 |
| DRebellion | pronoy, i don't understand what you're asking? | 17:02 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: how is it when you are putting more stress on the machine? i.e. ever tried to compile any packages while onbattery? | 17:02 |
| apelW | mphill: and I just need it to have that name and to be in .ssh? ( mphill ) | 17:02 |
| elad` | Thanks. | 17:02 |
| mphill | i think you can even use GNOME's seahorse to do all this graphically. | 17:03 |
| n0yd | mphill, btw, ext4 works fine on default kernel, I tested | 17:03 |
| n0yd | mphill, no gnome mount though, gotta manual mount | 17:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pLr I am on an older release atm that does not have that.. Let me look at something for a sec. | 17:03 |
| Maizcul | Anyone got any ideas on how to get "Fn" key working? | 17:03 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: because...last time i alloted 10 gigs just to /home...a new portion altogether...just thought all the softwares are installed there | 17:03 |
| LjL | cutterjohn: i have compiled some stuff but never really did any benchmarking | 17:03 |
| Forge__ | Hi. I am trying to open an X11 session between my Ubuntu desktop and a Sun server. On the server side the comand was simply "# export DISPLAY=mydesktopip:0.0". I don't know what to do at the desktop end thogh. Any ideas? | 17:04 |
| mphill | n0yd: freal? I must have tested it in an alpha release. I am going to format my USB drive to ext4 to be uber l33t now. | 17:04 |
| n0yd | Whats the preferred method of copying my / partition to another drive besides using dd which would require me to use a live cd so both volumes wouldnt be online | 17:04 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: hmmm... I think that I'm going to hold off on a fallback long batt life portable then... want to see if anyone else releases one with discrete GPUs and maybe the N330... | 17:04 |
| pLr | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 17:04 |
| DRebellion | pronoy, /home is just for per-user configuration, and user's files like music and videos | 17:04 |
| bor1 | pLr: no, I'm pretty sure it's not okay to remove it | 17:04 |
| meganox | pronoy: most software is installed in /usr | 17:05 |
| pLr | bor1: did u try apt-get check | 17:05 |
| LjL | n0yd: it can be "online" (mounted). it just needs to be mounted read-only. that can be done from recovery mode. | 17:05 |
| pronoy | DRebellion: ok...so /usr it is :) | 17:05 |
| Maizcul | I can't use scroll lock without Fn Key >.< | 17:05 |
| mphill | n0yd: as far is know dd is what you use for block copying. Or if you want use tar -cf backup.tar /path/to/drive/ | 17:05 |
| bor1 | pLr: it doesn't report any problems | 17:05 |
| scientes | is there anyway to unlock the cursor | 17:06 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: I made some progress on my LCD resolutions, but I still don't have the proper synch/refresh rates, but now instead of staying comletely black I can see that it looks like it tries to switch res but doesn't quite work, so I suspect refresh/synch values... waiting to hear back from mfg about LCD panel data | 17:06 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: plus another problem | 17:06 |
| scientes | i was moving a gnome-panel and it locked my cursor so i couldnt release or clock on anything | 17:06 |
| scientes | and i had to restart everything and kill my session from the command line | 17:06 |
| pLr | bor1: you have to remove and reinstall them, i just did it, it works, apt-get install ubuntu-minimal gnupg libcurl3-gnutls libldap-2.4-2 ubuntu-keyring <-- After reinstalling libsasl2-2 | 17:06 |
| scientes | as it was about to log me out cause i pressed ctrl-alt-deleate | 17:06 |
| cutterjohn | LjL: and I added my data to the EDID parse failure bug in launchpad | 17:07 |
| scientes | i just lost everything | 17:07 |
| rich_ | good morning, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight to all | 17:08 |

| bor1 | pLr: "apt-get --reinstall install libsasl2-2" gives me the same error | 17:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pLr I did not drop you , I brought up a release with that and I am using synaptic to look at properties in the synaptic install to see if I spot it. | 17:08 |

| outoftime | pLr: will do - thank you! | 17:19 |
| Lo_ | Maizcul, Thanks. | 17:19 |
| Maizcul | No problem :) | 17:19 |
| bor1 | Mohero: ~/.mozilla/firefox/[something].default/.parentlock | 17:19 |
| mphill | Mohero: thats a common issue for me. add the system monitor to your gnome bar, then click it once and go to process. find firefox and kill it | 17:20 |
| mphill | or killall -9 firefox | 17:20 |
| bitmonk | hello, i installed Intrepid into a Xen VM as normal, using the server iso, and then reconfigured the Xen VM to be paravirtualized. The system boots and network services, including ssh, work fine, but I have no login prompt on the xen console after service start messages complete, and wonder if the newer kernel may want different options than those suggested at http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/anilma/2008/07/02/Installing+Ubun | 17:21 |
| Mohero | mphill: no, it's not actually running, the system has been rebooted 2 or 3 times | 17:21 |
| Maizcul | Any ideas on my "Fn" key then? | 17:21 |
| maximilian-schro | hi. i have a problem installing ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop. the installation process cant create a filesystem. i tried to do a filesytem manualy with a qtparted live cd aswell, but no luck. any hint for me? | 17:22 |
| Maizcul | I don't think ubuntu recognises it being pressed, or it does and it ignores it. e.g. in keyboard shortcuts I can't do anything using "fn"+"Z" because it doesn't put down the "Fn" bit | 17:22 |
| mgolisch | maximilian-schro: whats the error you get? | 17:22 |

| sachael | nil, tomboy isn't hierarchical? :( | 17:25 |

| mgolisch | you can build a hierachy on the start note and link to the other notes | 17:25 |
| mgolisch | or something | 17:25 |
| nil | sachael: with the concept of notebooks (i level hierarchy) | 17:25 |

| Maizcul | No need for such severe sarcasm. It doesn't work on more i'm guessing the technical side in that ubuntu doesn't see it being pressed, or sees it yet ignores it | 18:05 |
| konam | can someone help me with my keyboard layout | 18:05 |
| fbc | orochi_, the ATI driver bug I quickly found a fix for online. My hibernation problem I found a fix for online. And all the little nuances I was able to find fixes for online. The virtual box version for intrepid came only a week or so afterwards, so no problem. | 18:05 |
| ppires | basically it was removed without me knowing about it (perhaps i just ignored some info while updating. never saw it coming :( | 18:06 |
| konam | i want to make the right ctrl key a shift key, i just broke my left shift (the one i'm used to use) and i want an alternative. i browsed the keyboard option in preferences but didn't find a way to customize the keyboard my way | 18:06 |
| shiMMer | i got an error while i try to run kismet from my terminal.how to enable?? | 18:06 |
| fbc | Maizcul, :-p | 18:06 |

| nnull | anyway to send video through s-video on gfx card to a tv/dvd player without creating a seperate x screen ? | 18:06 |

| gasto | how do I install Ubuntu in my hard disk by having all the hard disk with just one partition with Windows on it? | 18:07 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: yeah moment, had my mom on the phone | 18:07 |
| mgolisch | :) | 18:07 |
| ppires | Pici: Installed: (none) | 18:07 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, No hurry =] | 18:07 |
| fbc | nnull, yes vlc give you a default output screen option in the advanced settings...as long as you can get you s-video port to be recognized as a second screen. | 18:07 |
| almostdvs | all of a sudden nautilus is opening folders i double click in a new window. i haven't changed any settings, what's going on? | 18:07 |
| erUSUL | gasto: the installer can shrink the windows partition to make room for ubuntu | 18:07 |
| Pici | shiMMer: You need to modify /etc/kismet/kismet.conf manually. | 18:08 |
| gasto | wow, that is cool | 18:08 |
| erUSUL | gasto: if there is enough free space on the drive | 18:08 |
| j2daosh | ok, im at wits end, ill add the freakin lines to my interfaces file to make my wireless work... what do i need to do? | 18:08 |
| mgolisch | ChrisBookwood: strange, never seen that | 18:08 |
| Pici | ppires: Anything in the version table below that? | 18:08 |
| erUSUL | gasto: defragment the windows partition before installing | 18:08 |
| nnull | fbc¬ i can but, whenever i enable my TV it breaks compiz/deco | 18:08 |
| gasto | eruUSUL, so I don't have to worry that the Ubuntu Live CD deletes my Windows/personal files, right? | 18:08 |
| ChrisBookwood | mgolisch, it's weird, yeah... Maybe i just have to live with it for now | 18:08 |
| Frxstrem | gasto: With Ubuntu 8.10, just put the CD/DVD in your drive, and you can install it manually from Windows with no need for an extra partition... | 18:08 |

| orochi_ | fbc: sorry for the delay...that doesn't sound too bad, when i first installed i found that the utility that changed over video drivers for my nvidia card was also pretty buggy but hopefully that's working better now | 18:12 |

| setsanto | Hi, I tried to install Songbird on ubuntu 8.04. I downloaded a .deb file for it since i wasn't sure how to handle the .xpi. When I installed it through terminal, a whole host of errors showed up (many seemed to be related to my Dust theme). Now it shows up as a menu item under applications, but doesn't work. Also, the installer thinks that songbird is already installed, and apt-get remove Songbird has no effect. Any advice? All I re | 18:14 |
| Maizcul | Tundr: My make isn't on the list :/ | 18:14 |
| j2daosh | with no swap, your comp will lock up or applications will just start dying | 18:14 |

| Tundrayeti311 | Maizcu: Is there a generic laptop keyboard, or you could try another brand... | 18:15 |
| ppires | rww: checking | 18:15 |
| Maizcul | I've been through about 20 so far -.-" | 18:15 |

| j2daosh | i added: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 18:16 |
| j2daosh | but that doesn't get me going | 18:16 |

| ghaleb | hello, I have a problem playing my movies in totem and mplayer, the movie started any the sound is ok, but it's blinking ! | 18:16 |
| recon69 | j2daosh: well first i would check to see if you wireless card is supported by ubuntu | 18:16 |
| afief | ajassat, depends on which help you need:) | 18:17 |
| ajassat | Just installed Ubuntu (wubi). | 18:17 |
| j2daosh | it is recon69 i have used it before, but then i rebooted and it stopped working and hasn't worked since | 18:17 |
| rww | ppires: remove anything in there related to OO.org, then try installing again (you'll get 2.4). When the PPA comes back up, you could consider adding the PPA again and upgrading if you need 3.0. | 18:17 |
| j2daosh | where do i add the lines? | 18:17 |
| ajassat | I cannot change my resolution. | 18:17 |
| ajassat | Is there a graphical tool I can use to change it. | 18:17 |
| ajassat | I can only go upto 800x600 | 18:17 |
| ppires | rww: the thing is that i've been using oo3.0 in windows and mac. all my current docs are under that format. i'm afraid i can lose my stuff :( anyway tks a lot for the help mate | 18:17 |
| almostdvs | ajassat: did you enable your graphics card drivers? | 18:18 |
| ajassat | Yes. | 18:18 |
| afief | ajassat, sorry I don't know much about wubi... under normal ubuntu it's under system->preferences->screen resolution | 18:18 |
| ajassat | Yeah. | 18:18 |
| rww | ppires: I would've thought that oo3.0 was backwards compatible with 2.4. That isn't the case? | 18:18 |
| ajassat | It's the same thing. | 18:18 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Grub4dos_tutorial this might help | 18:18 |

| ajassat | WUbi doesn't make any difference. | 18:18 |
| almostdvs | my nautilus behavior has changed drastically and i haven't done anything. has a recent update changed it? and how do i get it back | 18:18 |

| rww | almostdvs: what, specifically, has changed? | 18:19 |
| ajassat | In the Screen Res dialog, I only have the option to go upto 800x600 | 18:19 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: but dont do any of the grubinst thing, all you need to do is find out how to configure that thing and boot it using the windows bootloader | 18:19 |
| ppires | rww: afaik no. and there is no msoffice2007 oxml support | 18:19 |
| j2daosh | im using networkmanager | 18:19 |
| ppires | rww: anyway, thanks dude | 18:19 |
| rww | ppires: you're welcome. Hopefully 3.0 will be back in the PPA soon... | 18:19 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, ok | 18:19 |
| j2daosh | but it's not working with the info im putting in (yes the info is correct). its not even showing signal strength | 18:19 |
| j2daosh | and all it does when i ty to connect is enter the configuration stage and then goes back to disconnected | 18:19 |
| ppires | rww: let's hope so. i guess i'll wait and edit everything in my mac from the time being. once again thank you very much | 18:19 |
| Xepra | gah, why aren't md5 sums on the download page? | 18:21 |

| stumpy | Where do ask for a bug fix to backported to the LTS version of ubuntu? | 18:22 |
| mgolisch | MadChopr: thats normal the architecture is named amd64 | 18:22 |

| mgolisch | MadChopr: thats the right thing to get | 18:22 |
| almostdvs | rww: the buttons for all back forward up and similar actions are gone | 18:23 |
| Maizcul1 | surely theres something easier than going through every single combination of keyboard on the list :| | 18:23 |
| Maizcul1 | ahh well | 18:24 |
| recon69 | j2daosh: well, first thing to do is post the results of "-lspci -nn" and "ifconfig" to the paste bin and give a description of the problem, what you have done | 18:24 |
| rww | almostdvs: almostdvs: open a Nautilus window, go to Edit > Preferences > Behavior and check "Always Open in Browser Windows". If it's already checked, let me know and I'll think up something else. | 18:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | "wmasterX" are the wireless 'control' interfaces | 18:25 |

| ghaleb | mgolisch, yes , the screen shows the movies is blinking I know it's weird ;) | 18:27 |
| mgolisch | ghaleb: what type of movies is that? and do you use compiz? if you go to System-Preferences-Apearance and set desktop effects to none, is it still the same? | 18:27 |
| rww | almostdvs: as an aside, the Nautilus people tried to make non-browser mode ("spatial" mode) the default a while back. As you can imagine, there was an uproar about it ;) | 18:28 |
| ghaleb | yeah I enabled visual effects comes with intrepid | 18:28 |
| recon69 | j2daosh: you can also try run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", you machine might not be running your modified scripts. if you card is fully supported I would recommend using network manager instead of editing config files | 18:28 |

| Flannel | almostdvs: "upgrade" will only make the versions of packages you have installed newer. dist-upgrade will install new dependencies (of the same packages you already have). What's apparently happeend is the PPA has added more depends. You also need dist-upgrade to install new kernel versions (since linux-generic depends on linux-image-version1 and now it depends on linux-image-version2, a new package) | 19:00 |

| Flannel | MHz128: Um, depeding on preferences, they may be automatically cleaned once those versions are taken out of the repositories (versionA is removed when versionB is in the repos, etc). And apt-get autoclean can do this manually, apt-get clean will remove all of them | 19:06 |

| CaShMoNey | no.. | 19:10 |
| m4rc0 | thanks | 19:10 |
| MHz128 | Alt-F2 is able to figure out which program to open based on file type. ie. /use/share/icons/test.png can this be done via command line somehow? | 19:10 |
| Pici | m4rc0: You can tell the gdm not to start when you boot your system. | 19:10 |
| Wyg | Alright, just installed Ubuntu via Wubi. Is there a way I can (in Windows) restart and 'force' Ubuntu to boot? | 19:10 |
| Wyg | Not like, by default. | 19:10 |
| zanberdo | rww: how about remote desktop connection such as to a windows box? I was using krdc | 19:10 |
| rww | zanberdo: tsclient | 19:11 |
| zanberdo | rww thanks! | 19:11 |
| CaShMoNey | zanberdo: I've been fond of vnc | 19:11 |
| Flannel | Wyg: You want it to be set as default permanently? | 19:11 |
| Wyg | No, just as a one-off. | 19:11 |
| rww | CaShMoNey: vnc and windows rdc are different, i think | 19:12 |
| CaShMoNey | rww: I see | 19:12 |
| Fc | 嗯 | 19:12 |
| Flannel | Wyg: That's done by boot.ini, I... don't think you can change that "just for one" boot. But you could set it as default, and then change it back later? | 19:12 |
| CaShMoNey | Flannel: it depends on if it's xp or vista | 19:12 |
| CaShMoNey | rww: it does depend on if it's xp or vista. Which is it? | 19:13 |
| mohbana | hello, is anyone running javafx | 19:13 |
| Wyg | It's XP. | 19:13 |
| JonathanEllis | Hi. I want to install a new release of Ubuntu. I have a dedicated home partition. I plan on doing a clean install rather than an upgrade. Can I simply point the new install at my home partition and will it pick up my settings in my various applications and accounts in pidgin for example? | 19:14 |
| Wyg | Basically I've set the timeout to 0 so it boots into XP 'automatically,' a 'silent' install as it were. | 19:14 |
| rampageoberon | hi, in firefox when i go to print and then under PDF the print button is greyed out, why is this? what can i do t fix it? | 19:14 |
| Wyg | Is there at least some way to force the boot loader to appear on startup? | 19:14 |
| mphill | JonathanEllis: for the most part | 19:14 |
| Flannel | JonathanEllis: Yep. You'll point it to use the home partition as /home, and not format it | 19:14 |
| Flannel | Wyg: Yeah, msconfig, and then change the timeout | 19:14 |
| JonathanEllis | !firefox > rampageoberon | 19:14 |
| ubottu | rampageoberon, please see my private message | 19:14 |
| usser | JonathanEllis, yes that will work. although system-wide settings in /etc will be lost | 19:14 |
| B3z3rk3r | JonathanEllis: yeah, but only to a certain extent iv found. Remember.. backup!!!! | 19:15 |
| Flannel | Wyg: There's a boot.ini tab, where you can change the timeout | 19:15 |
| rww | CaShMoNey: What? | 19:15 |
| CaShMoNey | rww: are you trying to connect to a vista or xp machine via remote desktop | 19:15 |
| afief | JonathanEllis, don't take my word for it, but I was once burned by a fedora install that messed up when I did the same thing, so personally I install the normal stuff then manually edit fstab to mount my /home | 19:15 |
| rww | CaShMoNey: You have the wrong person ;) | 19:15 |
| quar | CaShMoNey: i dont understand exactly from that link what shoud i do.. | 19:15 |
| phoenixz | I just changed the /etc/security/limits file, how can I apply these values without rebooting the computer? | 19:16 |
| CaShMoNey | rww: Ahh my bad so many people with q's | 19:16 |
| rampageoberon | JonathanEllis: umm, not sure that answers/fixes the specific problem. This is only a problem on the desktop, whereas on hte laptop its fine | 19:16 |
| JonathanEllis | rampageoberon: Do you have the pdf print driver installed? | 19:16 |
| JonathanEllis | !firefox | 19:16 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 19:16 |
| mphill | phoenixz: should just start to work | 19:16 |
| Eypr | hey | 19:16 |
| CaShMoNey | quar: What you need to do, is edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and make the adjustments to it as described in that link that I had sent you | 19:16 |
| rampageoberon | JonathanEllis: yes they are installed and it was working earlier | 19:17 |
| phoenixz | mphill: so changing the file and saving it will automaticaly apply these variables? | 19:17 |
| Eypr | can eny one help me setup my xorg.conf for 1080P? | 19:17 |
| JonathanEllis | rampageoberon: Sorry. I was intending to point you in the direction of #firefox to ask your question if noone here can help you. | 19:17 |

| CaShMoNey | m4rc0: You can, You have a choice on what to install | 19:17 |
| quar | CaShMoNey: so can i copy/paste that xorg.conf from link ? | 19:17 |
| m4rc0 | CaShMoNey: thanks | 19:18 |
| mphill | phoenixz: it might be that they need to relogin, but you don't have to reboot. It's Linux... :) | 19:18 |

| Chun | Hi - how can I change which network adapter is used, on the fly? | 19:19 |

| B3z3rk3r | hwilde: or are you specfically trying to downgrade your current install? | 19:25 |

After this i tried going back into vista and it wont boot and gives me the following error: File: \Boot\BCD Status: 0x0000000f, what can i do to ix it | 19:26 |
| jeaton | thanks | 19:26 |
| B3z3rk3r | hwilde: the easiest way would be to simply install the FF2 package | 19:27 |
| Pici | hwilde: You cannot run both versions of firefox at the same time, so you'll need to close 3 if you want to run 2. | 19:27 |
| rww | jeaton: assuming you want the non-free flash plugin, you'd then do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 19:27 |

| mortuis99 | mphill nothing atm i just deleted the partitions and am going to reformat it. What do u recommend i use? | 19:55 |
| afief | nnull, you might wanna try asking at #xorg because it's a very technical question... most of us only have one x screen | 19:55 |

| mortuis99 | just linux | 19:55 |
| nnull | afief¬ more helpful then anyone else hehe :) | 19:55 |
| mortuis99 | mphill just linux | 19:56 |
| afief | nnull, hehe:D guess that's a bonus | 19:56 |

| AndyB | anyone any advice on setting up grub from xp. i have xp on internal and ubuntu on external but cant boot into usb without grub | 19:57 |
| CaShMoNey | stooge, why do you want to do that? | 19:57 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: | 19:57 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: but it would be bad | 19:57 |
| Stooge | why not :) | 19:58 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: I think you can go to "run" then type msconfig and edit the boot config | 19:58 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: if you are looking to wipe your drive, you'd do better to simple use dd and /dev/zero | 19:58 |
| afief | mphill, don't you have to partition that drive first? aka /dev/sdc1? | 19:58 |
| albatros | but still gdm wont work without a file to write in... what file does gdm need to survive or in my case be reborn? and it has to be in tmp... | 19:58 |
| Stooge | dd = double damage? | 19:58 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: man dd | 19:58 |
| Stooge | what is dd? | 19:58 |
| AndyB | CaShMoNey, Excellent, but could you tell me what i should change the boot config to? Im new when it comes to boot settings | 19:58 |

| zanberdo | dd - convert and copy a file | 19:59 |
| Stooge | ok thanks | 19:59 |
| Maizcul | !dd | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd | 19:59 |
| rww | Stooge: the name's explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 19:59 |
| Stooge | i cant understand a word of what you say so i stop asking :D | 19:59 |
| mphill | afief: You can, but if its just storage, i don't, sometimes i do | 19:59 |
| afief | mphill, wow never knew that:D thanks | 19:59 |
| Maizcul | I know how you feel, a fair amount of this is right over my head too xD | 19:59 |
| CaShMoNey | Stooge: Inodes and vnodes are descriptors pointing to file allocation | 19:59 |
| reportin1sjr | how do I clear out swap ram and any corrupt ram? (I'm using about 600mb of ram all together when it should be about 60-70mb) | 20:00 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: man refers to the use of man pages (manual) that you can call for nearly any 'ix command | 20:00 |
| zanberdo | so, if you are told something about a command like 'dd' you can type 'man dd' at the cli (command line interface) to get more information about it | 20:00 |
| Stooge | yes -rd rf *.* | 20:00 |
| mphill | afief: I think mkfs even asks you if you are sure you want to use the whole disk instead of the partition(s) | 20:00 |
| afief | mphill, I wonder if I can mkfs a file... I mean everything is a file right? | 20:01 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: it would have to be more like: sudo rm -rf /. | 20:01 |
| Eypr | ? eny one how can help me with xorg.conf grafik? | 20:01 |
| CaShMoNey | mphill: I don't think so. it asks if you're sure if you want to continue | 20:01 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: but again, I wouldn't recommend it | 20:01 |
| CaShMoNey | cause data will be lost | 20:01 |
| CaShMoNey | Eypr: What video card do you have? | 20:01 |

| CaShMoNey | Eypr: What's wrong? Just want to get it working smoothly? | 20:02 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: the point is that you'd do better to wipe the disk than to arbitrarily delete files. | 20:02 |
| Eypr | damm do you now a god place to go look for to get it running ? | 20:02 |
| zanberdo | Stooge: but I guess it depends upon your goal | 20:02 |

| temppy | reportin1sjr: corrupt ram is a term which describes a hardware problem only solvable by buying new memory | 20:04 |
| afief | fletch1, what do you want to learn?:D | 20:04 |
| Sareth | reportinsjr, Corrupt ram means you probably have a bad memory stick. run memtest86 to find out | 20:04 |
| reportin1sjr | temppy: oh, I mean like from memory leaks. | 20:04 |

| reportingsjr | temppy: there is a command for it, I just can't remember it | 20:05 |

| paul68 | rww: thanks I forgot the extra part lol | 20:08 |
| CaShMoNey | TheoPast: You can try Mac filtering on your router | 20:08 |
| mphill | dimedo: at the login screen, you can select it | 20:08 |
| wysiwyg | __ | 20:08 |
| CaShMoNey | but that really isn't an Ubuntu question | 20:08 |
| rww | dimedo: at the login screen, go to the Action button and hit Session. It should let you select it and make it default | 20:08 |
| mphill | its called the 'session' | 20:08 |
| temppy | reportingsjr: well, you can do this, but I don't think there is much of a point: sudo tee 3 | /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 20:08 |

| cxo | Can you apt-get openoffice-3.0 on 8.04? | 20:09 |
| temppy | reportingsjr: hmm, I don;t think thats correct, one sec | 20:09 |
| afief | fletch1, here's a mini tutorial for you: if you have an operation you want to do on MANY files you can do it this way: for file in *; do echo "do some operation on $file"; done | 20:09 |
| recon69 | TheoPast: if you want to secure your network you need to set that up in you router, open firefox and put 192.168.1.1 in as the address to get you routers setup page. be careful as when you secure your router as you will lose you connection until you setup the password on you computer to match. | 20:09 |
| CaShMoNey | TheoPast: Okay. Umm private message me | 20:10 |
| rww | cxo: It's not in the official repositories for hardy /or/ intrepid yet. There was a PPA for it, but that PPA is currently down. Long story short, no. | 20:10 |

| afief | fletch1, the thing I just gave you is in the shell | 20:10 |
| fletch1 | afief, ok thanks, I'm out guys | 20:10 |

| mgolisch | thats what wubi uses | 20:14 |
| mgolisch | and i showed you the link didnt i? | 20:14 |
| AndyB | LjL, Do you know any other way i could boot ubuntu? my bios doesnt support boot from USB, but i had it working with grub but then i had to wipe it to fixmbr when windows broke | 20:14 |
| holst | is python included in all ubuntu installations? | 20:14 |
| holst | even the minimal ones? | 20:14 |
| mgolisch | download it put it on your c:\ root add it to the boot.ini create the menu.lst voila! | 20:14 |
| holst | "No, it just left" | 20:15 |
| BinaryDragon | yes holt | 20:15 |
| LjL | AndyB: can't you use a live CD? | 20:15 |
| BinaryDragon | yes holst | 20:15 |
| holst | cool. then I will replace my old perl scripts | 20:15 |
| AndyB | LjL, I tried using live cd and running the "grub-install" command but it says it cant find /boot | 20:15 |
| BinaryDragon | holst, what are you trying to do,perl got nothing to do with python | 20:15 |
| chupy | hi, i need help my webcam before i compile a driver works fine but now not how do i uninstall that driver i compile it but sudo make uninstall dont work... what can i do? | 20:15 |
| BinaryDragon | AndyB | 20:16 |
| holst | BinaryDragon: python is somewhat simpler than perl to write error-free code with, for me | 20:16 |
| BinaryDragon | whats the problem with your grub? | 20:16 |
| === Dj_Helix is now known as Dj-Helix | ||
| LjL | AndyB: well, the problem is that as far as i know, GRUB needs, indeed, to have /boot in some partition. i'm not sure it can be in a FAT/NTFS partition. | 20:16 |
| Maizcul | I dislike my college, they force VB6 upon you. | 20:16 |
| dwhsix1 | am I right in thinking that "aptitude -q update" and "apt-get update" have the same effect? | 20:16 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: you cant do that if you dont have a deciacted partition for grub | 20:16 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: use grub4dos | 20:16 |
| BinaryDragon | sorry holst, i thought you was trying to run perl scripts with python | 20:17 |
| AndyB | BinaryDragon, I had to remove grub, as it wouldnt boot windows, so i ran fixboot fixmbr from xp recovery. But then i had no grub to boot into ubuntu | 20:17 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, Ill read up on it now thanks | 20:17 |
| temppy | is there any hotel/community center management software for ubuntu? | 20:17 |
| LjL | AndyB, but when you *had* GRUB, did you also have an Ubuntu partition on your boot drive? | 20:17 |
| AndyB | LjL no i only had ubuntu on my external drive, no partition on internal | 20:18 |
| erik_ | hey, whats the terminal command to edit the "role" of the server? | 20:18 |
| === erik_ is now known as Guest69416 | ||
| Guest69416 | where you can install all tools/libs to compile a source package for instance | 20:18 |
| === Guest69416 is now known as mescon | ||
| BinaryDragon | AndyB, look in google for a grub disk that will let you boot in to ubuntu and even replace the windows mbr, once you do that you can go a modif the grub.cong file to add xp to the grub menu at boot up | 20:18 |
| LjL | AndyB: uhm, i'm really unsure how GRUB might work in such a configuration... did you always keep that external drive connected? | 20:18 |
| Pici | mescon: What exactly are you looking to do? | 20:18 |
| rrittenhouse | In network-manager what does "System-setting" (the checkbox) actually do? | 20:19 |
| LjL | mescon: is that a question? if yes, "sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>" | 20:19 |
| BinaryDragon | LjL, is not really hard to configure all he have to know is the partition where xp is located | 20:19 |
| ramen | can the cd/dvd creator burn .iso? or what app should i use? | 20:19 |
| temppy | AndyB: try googling "Dedicated GRUB partition" | 20:19 |
| AndyB | LjL, yes it was annoying but i had to keep the usb connected | 20:19 |
| Pici | mescon: build-essential is the package needed to compile things generally. | 20:19 |
| AndyB | temppy, Thanks will do now | 20:19 |
| LjL | BinaryDragon: but can /boot be in a Windows partition? | 20:19 |
| mescon | thanks Pici | 20:19 |
| ardchoille | ramen: it can, I did it a few times yesterday | 20:20 |
| AndyB | BinaryDragon, Cool ill google that, think i might be able to download the iso and burn the disk myself | 20:20 |
| mescon | tasksel was the command I was looking for... sorry for the poorly formulated question. | 20:20 |
| LjL | AndyB: then you can certainly replicate that setup - although having a GRUB partition on your internal drive would certainly be handier... | 20:20 |
| mgolisch | or just use grub4dos | 20:20 |
| ramen | ardchoille: cool ty. um how? haha can i just tell it to burn the .iso file to the disk and it will do it correctly? | 20:20 |
| BinaryDragon | LjL no, grub dose not load windows,when ou pick windows in the grub menu ,grub just let the windows MRD do the booting | 20:20 |
| ardchoille | ramen: what happened with me yesterday is it asked if I wanted to burn it as an image, it worked | 20:21 |
| BinaryDragon | in other words there is no /boot in windows | 20:21 |
| LjL | BinaryDragon: GRUB still needs /boot/device.map and other files to *start* at all, though | 20:21 |
| ardchoille | ramboza: Although Brasero (should be installed) can do it too | 20:21 |
| ramen | cool, thanks :D peace | 20:21 |
| LjL | BinaryDragon: if you have no /boot/grub, how could GRUB ever start up? | 20:21 |
| mgolisch | grub4dos its one executable and can be started from the windows bootloader, thats the best aproach | 20:21 |
| AndyB | BinaryDragon, So do you suggest installing GRUB from CD or set up a dedicated partition | 20:21 |
| BinaryDragon | i think that is replaced by /boot/grub/grub.conf | 20:22 |
| mgolisch | it wont affect anything on the internal disk | 20:22 |
| Sareth | LjL, GRUB can be placed inside the MBR of a disk without /boot/grub | 20:22 |
| BinaryDragon | AndyB, no need for Partition | 20:22 |
| AndyB | BinaryDragon, Great thanks, so ill go download the iso | 20:22 |
| mgolisch | whatever | 20:23 |
| BinaryDragon | you can just reinstall grub in the MBR so it can load linux, once in linux just configure grub.cong file with the XP | 20:23 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, Thanks im still reading this page, i am not ignoring your answer its the one im reading the most =] | 20:23 |

| mker | kebomix, think we'll need a little more info than that. what video file? what program? does it freeze with the same file every time? | 20:41 |
| CaShMoNey | and then drag and drop them into brasero | 20:42 |

| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: is this rewritable dvd a "dvd+rw" or "dvd-rw"? | 20:50 |
| mgolisch | i thought you want to copy the disk? | 20:50 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: he might have the wrong medium for regular dvd players | 20:51 |
| oly562 | flima: do a sudo locate -i mac80211 | 20:51 |
| bingungaja | CaShMoNey : thought that's other way, thx man, actually how to manually add url for radio station in amarok ? (now i just click the link by googling) | 20:51 |
| oly562 | let me know if you have some stdout | 20:51 |
| mgolisch | draging the video file might fail often for video cds atleast as those dont realy have a filesystem, the files beeing shown are just somekind of abstraction done by the cd/dvd filesystem drivers | 20:51 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: To be honest the DVD is a Grundig DVD RW. All it says is DVD - Rewritable for DATA 2X | 20:51 |
| oly562 | or sudo modprobe mac80211 | 20:52 |
| CaShMoNey | Hmm even on the packaging? | 20:52 |
| oly562 | http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=howto-iwlwifi here is what i used | 20:52 |
| CaShMoNey | usually the package will tell you | 20:52 |
| oly562 | flima: you have to have the ucode installed | 20:52 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: it does make a difference on the medium you're burning onto | 20:52 |
| cordor | kebomix: not that im sure your problem, but it seems like hardware problem to me. if i were you, 1. remove/reinstall mplayer(i don't use totem). 2. i would try to run memtest86. | 20:52 |

| unstable | I do fdisk -l, and it just says "Linux", so I don't think I can get the filesystem from there. | 20:56 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: with the right medium, You can use any Dvd burning utility to copy your dvd correctly | 20:56 |
| cordor | kebomix: if you update mplayer recent, then that's the problem. try to install older version. | 20:56 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoney: I have just checked the DVD my friend did for me and it's -R??? | 20:56 |
| Yuva | how to launch compiz | 20:56 |
| oly562 | sorry i cant watch the screen , pm , otherwise, i have to do other things | 20:56 |

| Maizcul | ubernoobQ - how do you do the compiz cube? xD | 20:57 |
| mgolisch | Yuva: system-preferences-apearance on the last tab select something other than none | 20:57 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: ya i have done that | 20:57 |
| kebomix | cordor : wut is useful of memtest86 | 20:57 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: This is all strange. Could it be because I am in Europe and you are in the States, maybe??? Im assuming? The DVD sent me which is -R does read OK on my DVD player and computer. | 20:58 |
| glick | anyone? | 20:58 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: nope | 20:58 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: i have kept that at extra | 20:58 |
| lc0788956 | So when i put in my live cd, I can pick the language and choose to just try ubuntu, and the kernal loads, and then thats as far as I get. Anyone have any ideas???? | 20:58 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: i need cube shape | 20:58 |
| mgolisch | DavidCanarias: it might just be that your player has problems with the dvd media you bought | 20:58 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: It's the same way everywhere. The only difference that there might be is the NTSC or the PAL options | 20:58 |
| TJ-42 | a lot of guides online refer to "system->administration->networking" but this no longer exists and "network tools" doesnt seem to be the same thing. what is the equivalent in ubuntu 8.10? | 20:59 |
| mgolisch | DavidCanarias: it can be that it ionly can read -r and its +r or its something else, like they are often collored different and stuff | 20:59 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: rotating the desktops | 20:59 |
| mgolisch | DavidCanarias: or you just didnt copy it properly | 20:59 |
| usser | RivitingOne, what filesystem is it? | 20:59 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: he's admitted already that it's a -r medium | 20:59 |
| usser | RivitingOne, ext3? | 20:59 |
| mgolisch | Yuva: thats not enabled by default install compizconfig-settings-manager and set it up there | 20:59 |
| cordor | kebomix: test computer memory. i guess it's less likely hardware problem if it start freeze for the last couple days, and you happened to update. | 20:59 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: copying it from there is not an issue | 20:59 |
| IsraelC | someone knows how to install a darwin stream server? | 20:59 |
| RivitingOne | usser: yes ext3 | 20:59 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: mgolisch: Taken note of what you say..... but irrespectively I can't even copy to my computer and isn't that odd? | 20:59 |
| mgolisch | i thought the one his friend gave him was -r and that this one worked on the computer and the player | 21:00 |
| kebomix | cordor : yea i updated | 21:00 |
| mgolisch | but maybe i got it wrong | 21:00 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: and did you try sudo? | 21:00 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manage" is this right | 21:00 |
| ecle | kann mir jemand bei meiner soundkarte helfen? | 21:00 |
| mgolisch | DavidCanarias: if its a video dvd that might be normal | 21:00 |
| E-XtraCt | Is it possible to don't install grub while I install ubuntu ? | 21:00 |
| mgolisch | E-XtraCt: yeah use the alternate cd and skit the bootloader step | 21:01 |
| mgolisch | *skip* | 21:01 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manage" is this right | 21:01 |

| eitreach | What is the command called that Alt+F1 uses in Gnome? | 21:01 |
| bluetouff | sorry | 21:01 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: mgolisch: Sorry if there is any confusion!!!! The DVD my friend did is -R and it is in 2 parts.... One part is mpg fotos and the other part is mpg Video. I can read it both on my computer and DVD player. What I cant seem to be is to copy it to my computer and then burn to disc. I am having a hell of a problem!!!! Hope you aren't both getting fed up with me already??? | 21:01 |
| mgolisch | Yuva: compizconfig-settings-manager thats the name | 21:01 |
| === bluetouff is now known as touff | ||
| CaShMoNey | eitreach: usually people, From windows users, call it the "start" button | 21:02 |
| usser | RivitingOne, add the following to /etc/fstab: /dev/sda2 /media/disk ext3 relatime 0 2 | 21:02 |
| mgolisch | eitreach: i think its called yelp | 21:02 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: can i able to find it in package manager | 21:02 |
| glick | can i install ubutnu over an older version with no problem? | 21:02 |
| glick | on a dual boot? | 21:02 |
| === sean is now known as Guest25053 | ||
| mgolisch | Yuva: it should be in the repos | 21:02 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Sorry I didnt answer you so far. No I havent used sudo as I don't know how to yet? | 21:02 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: There's no need to copy it to your computer then to a dvd if you're only copying it | 21:02 |
| eitreach | mgolisch: no, help is F1. I want to use the menu that Alt+F1 produces. | 21:02 |
| mgolisch | glick: thats not recommended id format the / partition atleast | 21:03 |
| mphill | glick: are you going to format the target? | 21:03 |
| lc0788956 | does anyone know why a live cd wont load? | 21:03 |
| glick | mphill, no | 21:03 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: I only have one DVD on my computer thats why I need to copy it first and then burn later to make 20 copies | 21:03 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: I think the reason why you cannot copy it is, because you are trying to put it in a folder that is either read-only, or one that you don't have permissions to | 21:03 |
| glick | actually yeah | 21:03 |
| glick | i was going to | 21:03 |
| glick | but what concersns me is grub | 21:03 |
| cordor | kebomix: i don't know how to install older version of the software. ask someone else. or just update to 8.10 | 21:03 |
| mgolisch | eitreach: oh sorry its a panel-applet no idea how to use that without a gnome-panel | 21:03 |
| usser | RivitingOne, done? | 21:03 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: most burning software keeps the copy in a temp folder | 21:03 |
| glick | since it lists like 10 kernel versions | 21:03 |
| sidney | Yuva can I pm you? | 21:03 |
| usser | RivitingOne, now try to mount it with sudo mount /dev/sda2 | 21:03 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: That could be possible. If I dont have permission cant I rectify this somehow? | 21:04 |
| CaShMoNey | so you can burn more than one session | 21:04 |
| Yuva | sidney: yes | 21:04 |
| mphill | glick: the installer will set everything up for you again | 21:04 |
| eitreach | mgolisch: well.. it is produced where the cursor is placed. so I was hoping to use it for a right-click menu. | 21:04 |
| kebomix | cordor : ok thx very much :D | 21:04 |
| CaShMoNey | yes, You can always go into the console and type "sudo brasero" | 21:04 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Can I not burn it to a permanent folder?? | 21:04 |
| Yuva | sidney: sidney you are welcome | 21:04 |
| mgolisch | eitreach: oh you are not using ubuntu? probaly you mean something else | 21:04 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: I'd make an image, so it's the exact copy | 21:04 |
| glick | sweet | 21:04 |
| glick | cool | 21:04 |
| glick | thanks mphill | 21:04 |
| The | hi there | 21:04 |
| CaShMoNey | or just do it like I said | 21:04 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Can you help me do this then as I dont know how to? | 21:04 |
| mgolisch | eitreach: because alt+f1 just opens the mainmenu applet in gnome-panel | 21:05 |
| mgolisch | on ubuntu | 21:05 |
| eitreach | mgolisch: Hit Alt+F1. It produces a complete application menu in Gnome. I want to be able to trigger that with the mouse, instead of Alt+F1. | 21:05 |
| eitreach | mgolisch: well, I don't have one in my panel.. hm. | 21:05 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: well so you don't waste anymore money, I'd go out and buy the +R dvd's | 21:05 |
| The | i wanna install flash player on youtube but i can't ,, | 21:05 |
| eitreach | perhaps that's the reason. | 21:05 |
| CaShMoNey | and then I can help you from there | 21:05 |
| usser | The, why not? | 21:05 |

| adub | has anyone setup zoneminder before?? | 21:06 |
| kansan | how do i enable the 'see every query log' on mysql server for ubuntu hardy? | 21:07 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Do I understand you then that I can make an identical copy and then directly burn to disc without filing it on the computer first? | 21:07 |
| mgolisch | kansan: i guess its done the same as everywhere else its mysql after all | 21:07 |
| CaShMoNey | kansan: I believe you have a mysql.conf file in your /etc folder | 21:07 |
| kansan | CaShMoNey, ok cool thats a starat; do you know which setting it is? | 21:08 |
| CaShMoNey | kansan: not right offhand | 21:08 |
| mgolisch | CaShMoNey: if you have multiple drives then maybe yes | 21:08 |
| usser | DavidCanarias, burning software will make a copy automatically for you that will be deleted after you're done copying | 21:08 |

| CaShMoNey | basically | 21:10 |

| DavidCanarias | usser: I have copied my conversation I had earlier with two very helpful people: CaShMoNey: mgolisch: Sorry if there is any confusion!!!!

What I cant seem to be is to copy it to my computer and then burn to disc. I am having a hell of a problem!!!! Hope you aren't both getting | 21:10 |

| Illusion | Hello folks. I have a question about .htaccess. option Options -Indexes is set. How can i access a subpage/folder which overides the Options -Indexes? | 21:23 |
| l7 | vitaliy_: maybe try out a full ubuntu livecd rather than using google os | 21:23 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: All done as you say | 21:23 |
| usser | RivitingOne, did mount -a give you any error messages. does your /media/disk have any content | 21:23 |
| mphill | there is no google os | 21:23 |
| l7 | he's probably talking about geos | 21:23 |
| usser | DavidCanarias, now im not familiar with brasero but there has to be an option there to burn an dvd image | 21:23 |
| SomeGuy7337 | kinda there is | 21:23 |
| SomeGuy7337 | gOS | 21:23 |
| l7 | yeah, that thing | 21:24 |
| vitaliy_ | 17, i like google os and if i get the full ubuntu i will still need to find the driver because it is not on there weeb | 21:24 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: Can i filter that somehow to make it easier to find pidgin messenger | 21:24 |
| mphill | thats made by everex, not google | 21:24 |
| SomeGuy7337 | gOS comes with Google Apps | 21:24 |
| CaShMoNey | yes | 21:24 |
| SomeGuy7337 | .... so many talkings, just a quick question- in gconf-editor, at the metacity for the buttons positions does anyone know the spacer tag. Say my name if you have an answer | 21:24 |
| vitaliy_ | cashmonkeyh, yes | 21:24 |
| l7 | vitaliy_: the full ubuntu version probably has better support | 21:24 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, with dmesg I get "too much work for irq17" a whole bunch of times. | 21:24 |
| fa2s | hi, anybody knows if openoffice 3.0 repository is offline? | 21:24 |
| CaShMoNey | ubuntoRoxx: type "ps aux | grep pidgin" | 21:24 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: There is an option for a Video Project, create a video DVD or SVCD or another option Data Project? | 21:24 |
| RivitingOne | usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81026/ is what I got | 21:24 |
| usser | DavidCanarias, do u have a fast internet connection? | 21:24 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: no, there's an option that says burn an image | 21:24 |
| vitaliy_ | 17, im still going to stick with google os because it took me a while to configure everything and i am new so it is a good linux to start with | 21:25 |
| RivitingOne | usser: I get that unable to resolve thing a lot | 21:25 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: okay...its there...how do i then get the window? | 21:25 |
| CaShMoNey | vitaliy_: actually my first os that I learned on was Gentoo. Now that's a great way to start learning things from scratch | 21:25 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: CaShMoNey: Apologies burn an existing CD/DVD image to disc too!!!! My internet connection is only 3MB | 21:25 |
| l7 | i guess you can lead a horse to water... | 21:25 |
| CaShMoNey | click on it, and it'll ask you to find your image on your desktop | 21:25 |
| dblick | When I do: eject /media/ipod, I get: "eject: unable to open `/dev/sdb3'". I don't get this when I so sudo eject /media/ipod. How do I make eject runnable as a user? | 21:25 |
| SomeGuy7337 | just a quick question- in gconf-editor, at the metacity for the buttons positions does anyone know the spacer tag. Say my name if you have an answer | 21:26 |
| mphill | CaShMoNey: I don't think computer newbies should be using stage 1 Gentoo. they will probably go running back to Windows. | 21:26 |
| syslq | What is the best metod to encrypt home folder? | 21:26 |
| mphill | ;) | 21:26 |
| usser | RivitingOne, it looks like your sudo is messed up. add this line to /etc/hosts 127.0.1.1 xavier-desktop | 21:26 |
| usser | RivitingOne, and 127.0.0.1 xavier-desktop | 21:26 |
| CaShMoNey | mphill: LOL I dunno, it made me pay attention to detail | 21:26 |
| vitaliy_ | 17, so do u have any clue of where i can get a driver for intel 855GM? | 21:26 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: CaShMoNey: Do I click on the Burn image (Burn an existing DVD image to disc? | 21:27 |
| dax_roc | keithclark: not sure about that error , try "dmesg | grep ttyUSB" | 21:27 |
| l7 | i don't know what kind of configuration you'd want to do with GoS though, everyone works on ubuntu out of the box | 21:27 |
| usser | DavidCanarias, yes so if u found then do burn, i was going to suggest you install another burning app | 21:27 |
| CaShMoNey | vitaliy_: Try i850 or something like that | 21:27 |
| mker | syslq, when you install with alternate installation disc you can choose to encrypt the harddrive. otherwise you can also choose to have a Private folder but then it's not your whole home folder that's encrypted. | 21:27 |
| mphill | CaShMoNey: boot straping a system is a unique experince to be sure | 21:27 |
| mgolisch | isnt that unsupported ? the gentoo handbook doesnt tell anything about stage1 or stage2 installs anymore | 21:27 |
| fa2s | hi, anybody knows if openoffice 3.0 repository is offline? | 21:27 |
| l7 | vitaliy_: not really, i think your best bet is to install ubuntu then import the desktop things you like rather than the other way around | 21:27 |
| dent | hi | 21:27 |
| l7 | it's up to you though | 21:27 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: How do i find the pidgin messenger? | 21:27 |
| RivitingOne | usser: Says I don't have permissions | 21:27 |
| dent | I ended up with broken sound after an 8.04->8.10 upgrade | 21:28 |
| RivitingOne | usser: to save | 21:28 |
| vitaliy_ | 17, its the same comfig gos was made by ubuntu its debbain if io understand the quation | 21:28 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: so why not read the old documentation. It'll give you the experience and will give you a heads up on what you're looking for | 21:28 |
| mphill | mgolisch: last time i used it gentoo was like. I'm a debian fanboy. | 21:28 |
| dent | Eventually I concluded the problem is no default sink in pulseaudio | 21:28 |
| usser | RivitingOne, ah yea right. cause sudo is messed up. you'll have to reboot into single user mode | 21:28 |
| SomeGuy7337 | just a quick question- in gconf-editor, at the metacity for the buttons positions does anyone know the spacer tag. Say my name if you have an answer | 21:28 |
| usser | RivitingOne, and do it from there | 21:28 |
| dent | anybody knows wat caused that/how to explicitly set one? | 21:28 |
| mphill | you could alway go linux from scratch these days | 21:28 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, [ 771.407829] serial8250: too much work for irq17 | 21:28 |
| CaShMoNey | ubuntoRoxx: "ps aux | grep pidgin" whatever it says, type in "killall pidgin" | 21:28 |
| RivitingOne | usser: how do I do that? | 21:28 |
| RivitingOne | usser: sorry I'm kinda new at this | 21:29 |
| mgolisch | mphill: CaShMoNey : i have done multiple stage1 and 2 install but i dont realy use gentoo often anymore, you can just install something when you need it, it will allways take forever or even brak on ~arch | 21:29 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: CaShMoNey: Up came Image burning set up: Select a disc to write to and appears my DVD inserted, but i says Path None? Image type Let Brasero choose (safest), but the burn is in grey so I cant select it??? Any ideas whats happening not allowing me to burn | 21:29 |
| usser | RivitingOne, restart your machine and when you grub and countdown something like boot in 3...2...1 press ESC | 21:29 |
| LittleKiller | Hi, I have a problem. I have 2 Hard Drives. I have a 500 gig and a 200 gig. I had windows xp on the 200 gig. I installed ubuntu on the 500gig. I have now after a while formatted the 500gig hard drive to ntfs. Now i still have xp on the 200gig hard drive but when i boot it. It still loads the GRUB..and it fails...So XP will not boot. And Ideas? | 21:29 |
| SomeGuy7337 | just a quick question- in gconf-editor, at the metacity for the buttons positions does anyone know the spacer tag. Say my name if you have an answer | 21:29 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, sorry, not correct. | 21:29 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: hit the browse button that looks like a little folder, and then navigate to your desktop | 21:29 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: CaShMoNey: Or do i need to choose the path to the ISO on my desktop? | 21:29 |
| Nikty | hi Largest Linux Ever! =) | 21:30 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: i dont get it...even though i have killed pidgin, and i start it up again. It just first prompts me for a password and then it just disappears | 21:30 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: the path to the iso | 21:30 |
| usser | DavidCanarias, either blank dvd is not really blank. or its not supported or your dvd burner is not really a dvd burner | 21:30 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: But it is there, because i can find it using ps aux | 21:30 |
| guntbert | !repeat | SomeGuy7337 | 21:30 |
| ubottu | SomeGuy7337: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 21:30 |

| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: usser: You are right, I found it and clicked on it and it allows me to burn now. Shall I go ahead and burn then? | 21:30 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: just upgraded | 21:31 |
| usser | DavidCanarias, yea go ahead | 21:31 |
| CaShMoNey | yup | 21:31 |
| mgolisch | ubuntoRoxx: it has a litle tray icon klick on that it should open pidgin again | 21:31 |
| CaShMoNey | ubuntoRoxx: Hmm that's odd because mine works just fine, and I installed this sytem 3 days ago and did the upgrade | 21:31 |
| ubuntoil_ | je suis detour avec mes problemes de reseaux ;) | 21:31 |
| mgolisch | ubuntoRoxx: if thats not it start pidgin from a terminal and look for error messages | 21:31 |
| ubuntoRoxx | CaShMoNey: AHHH yes there it is | 21:31 |
| Nikty | how to DUMP acpi? | 21:31 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: CaShMoney: Did that and its on its way. Fingers crossed it will work. Although I am thinking what CaShMoney: said earlier that I need a +R DVD and I am using -R!!!! :-( | 21:31 |
| SomeGuy7337 | thanks ubottu | 21:32 |

| AndyB | mgolisch, Hi i was wondering if you could offer some advice, ive been trying to use the Grub4DOS you recommended, But im not sure which of the methods to use to install. I dont want to partition my drive, just add to the mbr | 21:33 |
| grndslm | i've got a video i DLed from youtube... i just want to rip the audio to mp3. how do i do that? | 21:33 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: usser: Next time I will buy +R wish somebody has advised me earlier!!! Well its now writing the disc and will take forever I suppose! jejeje | 21:33 |
| Nikty | mgolisch: tnx | 21:33 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, usb->serial is less than one year old. Printer is a TSP600 | 21:33 |
| CaShMoNey | konam: I think that was mentioned earlier, Google search "keytouch" | 21:33 |
| mphill | konam: I think the new version of GNOME will have the function, but I have no clue how to help you today. | 21:34 |
| Nikty | mgolisch: if i have acer_wmi loaded, fixed dsdt or original will be dumped? | 21:34 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: no dont add anything to the mbr, just add the bootloader to your boot.ini so it can be booted via the windows bootloader just like that howto tells you | 21:34 |

| dent | peterloorke: let me aim at you! :) | 21:38 |
| === lordrayden is now known as lordrayden_ | ||
| dent | peterloorke: you want to do that with sources | 21:38 |
| mgolisch | peterloorke: no translations arent saved in those usualy, there are translation files loaded at runtime using gettext | 21:38 |
| konam | dent what? | 21:38 |
| TJ-42 | hmm ok I have a weird problem in ubuntu 8.10. I am connecting to a hidden (non-broadcasting) network that I have saved the settings for. When I reconnect after a reboot, it says "authentication required" and the stored wpa key is different (!) from what I entered before and connected with. I can put in the correct key and things work again, but next time it is back to the old password. | 21:39 |
| ubuntoRoxx | anyone? | 21:39 |
| dent | peterloorke: no need to do that with binaries (.so) for FOSS, + it's almost impossible anyway | 21:39 |
| dent | konam: | 21:39 |
| mker | Maizcul, just ask what you want to know, don't ask if anyone can help you without telling us what the problem is | 21:39 |
| Maizcul | nothing is impossible | 21:39 |
| dent | konam: ehm, sorry for blank line, anyway: you asked about making right shift behave as right alt or... something? | 21:39 |
| Maizcul | trying to get laptops "fn" key to work, i've asked a couple times | 21:39 |
| Maizcul | i get pointed to forums which whilst in essence is good, i'm quite severely n00b | 21:40 |

| Gnea | Maizcul: sometimes you need to get more specific, the channel moves pretty fast and no one really has the time to read scrollback. | 21:40 |
| Maizcul | i can try and follow the steps but i fail at it >.> | 21:40 |
| dax_roc | keithclark: it sounds like the adapter is the problem to me, its using a very high irq , I dont have much experience with serial coms tho , but if you google might find more help | 21:40 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: yeah it should start grub atleast, but without entryies in the menu.lst it wont do much yet | 21:40 |
| mgolisch | :) | 21:40 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, thanks! I appreciate the help | 21:41 |
| Yuva | guys how to use irssi | 21:41 |
| Yuva | ?? | 21:41 |
| CaShMoNey | Yuva: What do you want to do with it? | 21:41 |
| CaShMoNey | lol | 21:41 |
| mgolisch | Yuva: terminal -> type irssi [enter] | 21:41 |
| Gnea | !irssi | Yuva | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Yuva: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 21:41 |
| dent | peterloorke: yeah, look for the plugin source, it probably uses gettext... you could then contribute back | 21:41 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it? | 21:41 |
| dimedo | is there some tool for switching pulseaudio output device per window? some context menu addition or similar. | 21:41 |
| Maizcul | Gnea: laptop "Fn" key doesn't work, e.g. volume+. Asked already, get given forums link. I fail at following the forum links instructions. | 21:41 |
| dent | peterloorke: just find the web of the author/wharever you can download the source | 21:41 |
| Yuva | mgolisch: then how can i connect to ubuntu channel | 21:42 |
| mgolisch | dimedo: no but you can use pavucontrol to switch it per appliction | 21:42 |

| CaShMoNey | sirjoebob: "mv -drf pathtodirectory /pathwhereyouwantit" | 21:43 |
| sirjoebob | CaShMoNey: got it | 21:44 |
| dent | hummesse: also look at grep -r or possibly (if you wanted to filter the files to grep, e.g. with -name | 21:44 |
| Yuva | CaShMoNey: which client you are using | 21:44 |
| hummesse | ok thanks | 21:44 |
| konam | dent can you explain me about the xkb package? | 21:44 |
| CaShMoNey | Yuva: right now I'm using xchat2 | 21:44 |
| CaShMoNey | Yuva: but I've used irssi in the past and learned it by feel | 21:44 |
| dimedo | mgolisch, yes i already know that, i thought of a simpler approach to that | 21:44 |
| mgolisch | i allways use irssi | 21:44 |
| badawi | hummesse: try this instead-> find / -type f -iname '*.txt' -exec grep -H -i kepler '{}' \; | 21:45 |
| rocknroll | help | 21:45 |
| Darknezz | i have a problem: i was trying to install GDM themes after installing i logged out and back in. now it will not load the login screen. is there a way to get on and change the setting back??? | 21:45 |
| rocknroll | Yuva | 21:45 |
| rocknroll | I am yuva | 21:45 |
| rocknroll | connected through irssi | 21:45 |
| hummesse | ill try that badawi, thanks | 21:45 |
| badawi | how can i see the file list of an installed package? what's the command to use? | 21:46 |
| CaShMoNey | I like helping people out in irc channels because it's like doing mathmatical flashcards | 21:46 |
| dent | konam: if only, it's been ages... but look into /usr/share/X11/xkb/* and try http://www.google.com/search?q=xkb - I believe you can map anything to anything with that, but it's bean years, so I don't really know :-( | 21:46 |
| mgolisch | badawi: dpkg -L packagename | 21:46 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, when adding the menu.lst entry for ubuntu on hd(0,1), do i need to add a "Kernal" or "initrd" line of commands? | 21:47 |
| konam | dent thanks | 21:47 |
| gnutron | badawi: dpkg -l will list all installed packages. | 21:47 |
| hummesse | wohoo! worked thanks badawi | 21:47 |
| badawi | mgolisch, gnutron: thanks | 21:47 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: No, just uuid | 21:47 |
| CaShMoNey | and title | 21:47 |
| CaShMoNey | of OS | 21:47 |
| badawi | hummesse: no prob | 21:47 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | is there a problem with wireless cards when upgrading to Hardy from gutsy? | 21:47 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: i think it has to be hd(1,something) as the internals should allways have precendence unless your bios is insane | 21:47 |
| TJ-42 | I have this problem on ubuntu 8.10 that I can't solve. I am able to successfully connect to a WPA2 network the first time. All subsequent times, Ubuntu fails to keep my wpa2 password and substitutes a different wpa2 key. Even if I try to type in my own keep it fails and again shows the old key. I can only connect if I delete the network and retry. I find several bug reports and messages about this, but no solution. Any idea? | 21:48 |
| keithclark | How can I uninstall a usb device? | 21:48 |
| SomeGuy7337 | just a quick question- in gconf-editor, at the metacity for the buttons positions does anyone know the spacer tag. Say my name if you have an answer | 21:48 |
| mgolisch | that wont work, grub4dos cant read ext3 , either try chainloading the grub from the usbhdd or put the kernals on the windows disk | 21:48 |
| mgolisch | atleast i think it cant | 21:48 |
| CaShMoNey | keithclark, Unplug it | 21:49 |
| CaShMoNey | LOL | 21:49 |
| keithclark | It stays there | 21:49 |
| sumo_su | Video Playback is flickering when compiz is turned on... is there a fix for this problem? (ATI card) | 21:49 |
| moonlite | I need to backup 50GB of data to a USB-disk which is FAT32 formatted (which means filesize of max 4GB). I can't just copy over the files since some filenames isn't valid on FAT32 and i also want to keep permissions etc. Any ideas? | 21:49 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | TJ-42, I can't even get my card to connect to my WPA network. | 21:49 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | After upgrading | 21:49 |
| CaShMoNey | keithclark: try "umount" with it plugged in | 21:49 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, ah so this wont work? | 21:49 |
| Maizcul | turn compiz off xD | 21:49 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: but maybe iam wrong, just try to use a entry simmilar to the one on your linux disk | 21:49 |
| === tux7897 is now known as tux7897-afk | ||
| sumo_su | Maizcul: you are smart :o) | 21:50 |
| rocknrol1 | hello | 21:50 |
| morth_ | Could anyone help me please? im dualboot with Linux / WinXP and lastnight on my XP i think i got a virus command prompt came up and my computer made a loud noise so i got scared and rebooted now when i try to access my XP files from Linux it says its not mounted.. is there a way to fix this? | 21:50 |
| Maizcul | :P | 21:50 |
| SomeGuy7337 | sumo_vu: make the video rendering to X11 | 21:50 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: i didnt use grub4dos that often, if it doenst work you still have the chainloader aproach or copy the kernel and initrd to the windows disk | 21:50 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: well with ubuntu, he'd have to use the UUID just like in the menu.lst on the ubuntu installation | 21:50 |
| keithclark | I have a device ttyUSB0 that I want to delete the driver for.....I think I have a bad driver and I want to uninstall it. | 21:50 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: cause well, grub is the one to interpret where the UUID is | 21:50 |
| ZeZu | morth_, try sudo mount -a | 21:50 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, ah yes i can boot into live cd open the usb drive and take the entry from the working menu.lst | 21:50 |
| mgolisch | i dont think grub4dos is that new id go with root (hdx,x), kernel /foo initrd /bar for starters | 21:51 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: yeah try that | 21:51 |
| TJ-42 | gundam_rx78nt1: my sympathies :-/ Does it work if you disable WPA? | 21:51 |
| Maizcul | i wish i wasn't so noob :( | 21:51 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: do some reading | 21:51 |
| adub | has anyone in here install zoneminder before? | 21:51 |
| Maizcul | it just goes over my head -.- | 21:51 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: also, Get a stable os installed, and use a virtual machine to learn about other operating systems | 21:52 |
| Maizcul | vb6 is hard enough >.< | 21:52 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, back in a min, changing accounts | 21:52 |
| Maizcul | Cashmoney: im fairly good with windows 3.1, 95, 98, xp and vista, that count? xD | 21:52 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: nope | 21:52 |
| Maizcul | Cashmoney: Drat. | 21:52 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: But, There are books for linux nubs | 21:53 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: it'll give you the basics of any *nix operating system | 21:53 |
| Maizcul | Cashmoney: People complain about how hard *nix is, but windows 3.1 was worse. I remember spending 12 hours with my uncle trying to get a USB mouse working haha | 21:53 |
| diffred | Hi! How can I get rid of this kinda warnings: Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/animations/small/16x16 of theme oxygen has no size field | 21:54 |
| Maizcul | Give them a size field. | 21:54 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: well *nix is updated every day. 3.1 has been outdated for years now | 21:54 |
| diffred | Maizcul: How? | 21:54 |
| Maizcul | Cashmoney: I know, I was talking of the time when it was new technology. | 21:54 |
| rww | Maizcul: USB mouse in Win3.1? That was probably difficult, given that USB was first supported in either Win95 or Win98, I forget which. Did they have custom drivers or something? | 21:54 |
| etale | hi all, trying to do a fresh install on a messed up computer; how can i use the livecd to mount the old windows filesystem to harvest my old data? | 21:55 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: when I started with linux, I had started with the gentoo distro, and used the howto's to install. It gave me experience to find what I'm looking for | 21:55 |
| guntbert | !ot | 21:55 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:55 |
| pantsman | when I got my first PC with USB, I waited and waited, but a little bus full of cereal never came out :( | 21:55 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: *nix is getting more user friendly every day | 21:55 |
| diffred | How to get rid of Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/animations/small/16x16 of theme oxygen has no size field | 21:55 |
| E4emacs4 | Linux is becoming easier to use than windows lol | 21:55 |
| mgolisch | CaShMoNey: yeah gentoo was quite good to learn how stuff works | 21:55 |
| mgolisch | :) | 21:55 |
| Maizcul | Cashmoney: I tried fedora 6 before, the CD just refused to work XD I installed debian before, that was good, never could get my wireless driver to makefile though, although my USB drive worked with it but not with ubuntu, though that may have sometime to do with the rust on it. Windows is stupidly easy to use | 21:56 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: which is why I suggest it in a virtual machine and documentation :) it'll give anybody the basics of how everything works, and how to troubleshoot common problems | 21:56 |
| keithclark | How to remove a device driver so that I can reinstall it? | 21:56 |
| Maizcul | Wall of text crits you for 99999 | 21:56 |
| dax_roc | keithclark: you would use rmmod to remove the driver and modprobe to re-insert it | 21:57 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: well maybe your drive just needs the filesystem arguement during mount | 21:57 |
| ompaul | rww, it was 98 iirc | 21:57 |
| Darknezz | i have a problem: i was trying to install GDM themes after installing i logged out and back in. now it will not load the login screen. is there a way to get on and change the setting back??? | 21:57 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, thanks | 21:57 |
| Maizcul | Cashmoney: Clear as mud. | 21:57 |
| mgolisch | Darknezz: what did you do to install it? | 21:58 |
| Maizcul | It was the rust. | 21:58 |
| dax_roc | keithclark: but It will normally (re)load the driver when you insert the usb device | 21:58 |
| Maizcul | I scraped a little off and it worked. | 21:58 |
| CaShMoNey | Maizcul: like one of my dvd's wouldn't mount cause it didn't know what filesystem to use in ubuntu, but then I manually mounted it with the filesystem argument and it mounted just fine | 21:58 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, well, I tried it on another machine and the device is fine. | 21:58 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, that is why I was thinking a driver was the cause of the errors | 21:59 |
| linkslice | is there an app i can use to open visio docs? | 21:59 |
| Darknezz | mgolisch: i went into sys/admin/login window and installed the theme that i downloaded | 21:59 |
| mgolisch | linkslice: visio? | 21:59 |
| mgolisch | :) | 21:59 |
| E4emacs4 | visio might work in WINE linkslice | 21:59 |
| CaShMoNey | it will work in wine | 21:59 |
| linkslice | E4emacs4, I don't have visio just visio documents... | 21:59 |
| rww | linkslice: dia or kivio | 21:59 |
| CaShMoNey | office 2007 is fully supported with wine | 21:59 |
| rww | linkslice: not sure if they can read visio documents, but i know they do very similar things, so it might be worth a try. | 22:00 |
| tux7897-afk | cashmoney do you know about office2003 is supported with wine? | 22:00 |
| Zoffix_ | Hello, I'm trying to get Evolution to work with MS Exchange server. It doesn't connect, despite the fact that I googled and other people can connect.

| Darknezz | mgolisch: i can get into terminal using ctrl+alt-f1 but i dont know many commands to get back into the GUI | 22:01 |
| upd | hi, can i ask, why ubuntu and i think also other linux, reset the number of incomming packet, usualy when it come to 3GB ? | 22:01 |
| mgolisch | Zoffix_: but you setup the stuff correctly? | 22:01 |
| Zoffix_ | tux7897-afk, Publisher can't save and I can't start Outlook, haven't tried the rest. | 22:01 |
| CaShMoNey | tux7897-afk: I'm not sure. I was just at the wine site 2 days ago doing some research | 22:01 |
| tux7897-afk | oh ok thanks cashmoney | 22:02 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, I think I will try this in XP to see if the rest of my hardware works. | 22:02 |
| Zoffix_ | mgolisch, I followed several forum posts to the dot. I can login on the Exchange server with the credentials I am using from the browser.. but Evolution refuses. Tells me "Could not locate server ." | 22:02 |
| CaShMoNey | <-- plays Counterstrike in Ubuntu with wine | 22:02 |
| CaShMoNey | works better than in windows | 22:02 |
| mgolisch | Zoffix_: but you used the same url in evolution? | 22:02 |
| Zoffix_ | mgolisch, yeah. | 22:03 |
| mgolisch | strange | 22:03 |
| Zoffix_ | Yeah | 22:03 |
| * Zoffix_ googles some more. | 22:03 | |
| badawi | CaShMoNey: the old one or the new one? | 22:03 |
| mgolisch | lets see if it works for me | 22:03 |
| dax_roc | keithclark: Might be helpfull , I think its that its using a high irq seems to be a problem with some serial modems | 22:03 |
| CaShMoNey | badawi: the old one. I gotta try out the new one. Thanks for reminding me | 22:03 |
| CaShMoNey | lol | 22:03 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, Lets see. I thought I had this working in Ubuntu, but that was before the 8.10 upgrade | 22:04 |
| Maizcul | My wireless decided to DC :/ | 22:04 |

| rampageoberon | hi, i get a gnome-settings-daemon failed to start error every time I login and it takes nearly 10 minutes to load the desktop. what could the problem be? | 22:04 |
| Maizcul | Hmm ... I r need pills. | 22:05 |
| Maizcul | brb | 22:05 |
| adub | has anyone in here install zoneminder before? | 22:06 |
| olskolirc | this is freenode server right? | 22:06 |

| sabayonweb_98445 | anyone have success installing ubuntu on a dell xps one | 22:07 |
| gnuskool | CaShMoNey: no crashes 1.6? | 22:07 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, sorry that took much longer then expected, i copied the entries from the menu.lst to my new on in C, but when i select them from boot menu it says error 17 cannot find drive, it is plugged in | 22:08 |
| Maizcul | mmk back | 22:08 |
| Darknezz | i have a problem: i was trying to install GDM themes after installing i logged out and back in. now it will not load the login screen. is there a way to get on and change the setting back??? | 22:08 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool: nope. and a constant frame rate/ping too | 22:08 |
| Zoffix_ | sabayonweb_98445, I have it at home on Dell XPS M1335 | 22:08 |
| Maizcul | My laptop battery is shot :/ | 22:08 |
| gnuskool | 100fps? | 22:08 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: what does it have for root ? | 22:08 |
| Maizcul | been unplugged for about 5 mins tops and down to 84% | 22:08 |
| sabayonweb_98445 | well the xps one is that all in one desktop | 22:08 |
| gnuskool | CaShMoNey: 100fps?, what card u got? | 22:08 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool even more bro | 22:08 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, nothing it doesnt have a root, it has a uuid which i think is the problem, i believe its the uuid for my internal drive | 22:08 |
| niklaus | hi, when i upgraded i get a message saying /sbin/lrm-video not found. Is it something of concern ? | 22:09 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool: I have a Geforce 8600GT | 22:09 |
| rww | AndyB: yeah, that might be a problem. Sending the UUID factoid your way now... | 22:09 |
| gnuskool | CaShMoNey: i got 60fps lol | 22:09 |
| Maizcul | I only got the 8400GS on my pc =[ | 22:09 |
| rww | !uuid | AndyB | 22:09 |
| ubottu | AndyB: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 22:09 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool: and it gets 99-250fps | 22:09 |
| sabayonweb_98445 | zoffix i generally use sabayon linux and ubuntu here and there but cant get live cd fro sabayon to boot on desktop might try ubuntu on desktop and keep sabayon on my xps m1530 | 22:09 |
| calwig | hi, how can i only chmod on JPG photos? | 22:09 |
| calwig | to have 777 on all of them | 22:09 |
| AndyB | rww. thanks | 22:09 |
| niklaus | Is interpid ok to be upgraded to ? Does it have stability problems ? | 22:09 |
| gnuskool | CaShMoNey: 60fps on xp, havent tried wine yet | 22:09 |
| jeaton | what is a good program that converts video from avi to dvd, and will allow me burn it as well? | 22:10 |
| mker | niklaus, guess it depends on your hardware. some have problems, some, like me, don't. | 22:10 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: No. grub4dos didn't support uuid command. it's patch for grub legacy from Ubuntu | 22:10 |
| Maizcul | Nero Vision Express | 22:10 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool, it's because you have vsync option on for your video card. Take that off, and then try it | 22:10 |
| mortuis99 | i am running ubuntu and want to install TRUECRYPT. where can i get it and is there a GUI available for it? | 22:10 |
| RyanPrior | How do I start a second X server for my video game to run in? | 22:10 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: thats what google grub4dos uuid reveals | 22:10 |
| sabayonweb_98445 | gnuskool: devede | 22:10 |
| niklaus | mker: hardware ,what kind of problems ? | 22:10 |
| sabayonweb_98445 | Maizcul: i never tried that one | 22:10 |
| RyanPrior | !truecrypt | mortuis99 | 22:10 |
| ubottu | mortuis99: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume | 22:10 |
| mker | niklaus, don't know, I haven't had any | 22:10 |
| rww | mortuis99: Truecrypt's website. It's not in any Ubuntu repositories because of complicated licensing reasons. | 22:11 |
| gnuskool | CaShMoNey: yeah tried the vsync off thing, i dont know what's causing it, used to work mint on my other rig | 22:11 |
| CaShMoNey | RyanPrior: why would you need a second xserver? | 22:11 |
| dent | RyanPrior: if you want just an X server: X :1 | 22:11 |
| keithclark | niklaus, I had issues with my graphics card and sound card. | 22:11 |
| Maizcul | i used to use it to turn avis to dvd to watch, but my new tv is HD and my new gcx card has a hd connection so i just watch them direct now | 22:11 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, well i just tried replacing the uuid line with "root hd(1,0) but i got error 12, unrecognised device string | 22:11 |
| dent | RyanPrior: but making use of that is a bit more complicated | 22:11 |
| niklaus | keithclark: which graphics card do you use ? | 22:11 |
| keithclark | ATI X200 | 22:11 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool it's the driver itself that locks it at 60fps, but there is an option to unlock it. It's cause the drivers are new for winblows | 22:11 |
| niklaus | keithclark: i use nvidia geforce FX 5500, i use a nvidia driver | 22:11 |
| rampageoberon | hi, i get a gnome-settings-daemon failed to start error every time I login and it takes nearly 10 minutes to load the desktop. what could the problem be? | 22:12 |
| DavidCanarias | usser: CaShMoNey: Here I am again having eaten!!! Glad to say with your help and pacience I have managed to make an exact copy of the DVD which actually works. Well done to both of you! I am very grateful. Can I ask you about the iso image ? Can I now rename the file and keep it in my Video file for example and then from their make as many copies as I want?? | 22:12 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: its (hd1,0) | 22:12 |
| keithclark | nilaus, As I don't use Nvidia, can't comment on that one | 22:12 |
| SomeGuy7337 | just a quick question- in gconf-editor, at the metacity for the buttons positions does anyone know the spacer tag. Say my name if you have an answer. Do you think that it would be okay to post this on the forum i didn't want because it was so small but no one seems to know the answer so i have little choice | 22:12 |
| RyanPrior | CaShMoNey, dent: I want to have on instance running for my desktop software, another for a fullscreen game. That way, when an instant message or something pops up, it doesn't pop me out of full screen mode. | 22:12 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, would explain it, thanks | 22:12 |
| niklaus | keithclark: i use a onboard sound card. btw did it work on hardy ? | 22:12 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: Indeed you can | 22:12 |
| gnuskool | CaShMoNey: nvidia, where is this option, is it a checkbox ...or a hack? | 22:12 |
| keithclark | niklaus, all hardware worked under hardy | 22:12 |
| rww | SomeGuy7337: I'm not sure what you're asking; please rephrase your question. Also, yes, posting on the forums would be fine. | 22:12 |
| RyanPrior | CaShMoNey, dent: What is the best way to accomplish my goal? I've been lead to believe that having a second X server running is something that has worked for other people. | 22:13 |
| CaShMoNey | gnuskool: it's a check box in the nvidia control panel | 22:13 |
| gnuskool | hmmm, ok bye | 22:13 |
| brianski | am i the only one having problems with menu fonts in opera nxclient, and other closed source programs in intrepid? | 22:13 |
| gnuskool | :D | 22:13 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Thks a lot. So the only problem I could find now is that when I send copies to my friends some of them may not be able to open the DVD because it's -R. If it were +R it would probably be much better and less chance of not reading? | 22:13 |
| morth_ | Could anyone help me please? - i think i got a virus on my XP "using dualboot" and it opened as command prompt then made loud noises i got scared so rebooted now when i try to select to boot WinXP it shows a black screen no winlogo or anything.. and on Linux it says Unable to mount the volume 'WindowsXP'. if i try to access the XP Drive from Linux. | 22:13 |
| jeaton | any programs that will help me to convert from avi to dvd? | 22:13 |
| niklaus | i've this problem of showing man pages when i type info grub for example. How do i download all the info pages ? This is very annoying because in manpage they say refer info and when i do info grub i find the manpage itself | 22:13 |
| brianski | on menus particularly | 22:13 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: Correct | 22:13 |
| DavidCanarias | jeaton: Have you ou tride DVD95 converter? | 22:14 |
| brianski | jeaton: i'd imagine just about any dvd burning app will do | 22:14 |

| RequinB4 | morth_: in addition to that, know that until a proper shutdown from XP you cannot mount the partition in ubuntu | 22:14 |
| CaShMoNey | brianski: for dvd's and making menu's I'd suggest "DeVeDe" | 22:14 |
| niklaus | Is there anyway to download all the info pages ? | 22:14 |
| CaShMoNey | I think that's what it is | 22:14 |
| niklaus | someone help me on this | 22:15 |
| morth_ | Now how would i go on and do that RequinB4 ? | 22:15 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Then I have learnt a lot this evening thks to both of you. Last question I think you mentionned something about the iso being stored in a temp file and disappearing after it's burnt? Or did I misinterprit what you said? | 22:15 |
| runa | heyas :) I've bought a new lcd 22' monitor but I cannot make it work in 1680x1050 (I get max 1400x1050). Any hints? | 22:15 |
| RequinB4 | morth_: that's something you'll have to ask ##windows, i was just mentioning that that is your problem from the ubuntu side | 22:15 |
| Maizcul | reboot | 22:15 |
| morth_ | oh alright thanks. | 22:15 |
| Seveas | runa, get a videocard that supports 1680x1050? | 22:15 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: that's only if you had chosen to use the burning utility to make your copies of the dvd | 22:15 |
| ardchoille | runa: Is the monitor capable of 1680x1050? | 22:16 |
| runa | ardchoille: yep, it's the recommended resolution | 22:16 |
| Maizcul | its a 22" | 22:16 |
| ardchoille | ok | 22:16 |
| RyanPrior | I want to have one X instance running for my desktop software, another for a fullscreen game. That way, when an instant message or something pops up, it doesn't pop me out of full screen mode. Can anybody help me do that? | 22:16 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: so no, you made an image of ur dvd that will stay on your hard drive until you manually delete it | 22:16 |
| SomeGuy7337 | rww: inside of gconf-editor, in /apps/metacity/general/button_layout it lets you set the layout of the buttons and says that you can insert a spacer tag in there to add space between the buttons but no where can i find what that spacer tag is, i have tried multiple things. | 22:16 |
| D3RGPS31 | how do I uninstall X | 22:17 |
| SomeGuy7337 | gosh darn it | 22:17 |
| D3RGPS31 | :D | 22:17 |
| fevel | I tried installing Gunz -TheDuel through wine, it installs fine and downloads all the petches. But when I click in play, the screen closes and nothing happens. Has anyone tried running this game? | 22:17 |
| SomeGuy7337 | rww: i found it | 22:17 |
| SomeGuy7337 | finally thanks | 22:17 |
| SomeGuy7337 | i feel so dumb, i over complicated it so much | 22:17 |
| mgolisch | fevel: look at wines appdb | 22:17 |
| CaShMoNey | D3RGPS31: still don't wanna listen to my suggestion ehh? | 22:17 |
| rww | SomeGuy7337: yeah, it's just "spacer". See the example ;) | 22:17 |
| D3RGPS31 | CaSHMoNey didn't work | 22:17 |
| fevel | mgolisch, it didnt help much has a gold rating | 22:17 |
| mgolisch | fevel: run from terminal | 22:17 |
| RyanPrior | fevel: you might want to ask in #winehq | 22:18 |
| CaShMoNey | D3RGPS31: what didn't work? | 22:18 |
| D3RGPS31 | CaShMoNey init 3 | 22:18 |
| SomeGuy7337 | the spacer tag was "spacer" i tried "|", " ", and many others just did not thinkj that it was that simple | 22:18 |
| runa | ardchoille: I don't see any mention of 1400x1050 in the Xorg.0.log file, but the monitor shows a banner recommending to use 1680x1050 | 22:18 |
| Maizcul | Terminal is coming for me? Run from it, run! | 22:18 |
| fevel | ok | 22:18 |
| CaShMoNey | D3RGPS31: init 3 only puts you to the command line interface | 22:18 |
| fevel | ill try that | 22:18 |
| D3RGPS31 | CaShMoNey i should have told you, the computer has no keyboard, i connect to it through ssh | 22:19 |
| ardchoille | we lost the bot | 22:19 |
| Maizcul | !!lost | 22:19 |
| CaShMoNey | D3RGPS31: doesn't matter, if you use init 3 it'll make the physical workstation/server go into the cli mode | 22:19 |

| rocknroll | yes | 22:20 |
| E4emacs4 | just type E4 than tab | 22:20 |
| RequinB4 | rocknroll: tab | 22:20 |
| junk | hi, i've a problem of info pages not being download. So when i read manpages it says refer to info grub. When i do info grub i see the manpage. It is very annoying .How do i download all the info pages ? | 22:20 |
| rocknroll | yeah | 22:20 |
| CaShMoNey | E4emacs4: but you still have to type in xchat a lil | 22:20 |
| rocknroll | E4emacs4, got it | 22:20 |
| E4emacs4 | try to type at least 2 or 3 letters of their nick first, then tab | 22:20 |
| E4emacs4 | :) | 22:20 |
| rocknroll | E4emacs4, can we enable smiles in xchat | 22:21 |
| E4emacs4 | sometimes you'll have to do TAB several times if theres a lot of people with similar nicks | 22:21 |
| CaShMoNey | :P | 22:21 |
| rww | junk: you need the -doc package for whatever package you're looking for. For example, grub-doc has the info files for grub | 22:21 |
| E4emacs4 | the windows xchat has smilies i think | 22:21 |
| rocknroll | E4emacs4, | 22:21 |

| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Last question tonight..... On the DVD I have two files as I told you. The web cam video part isn't correct on the speach (a failure on the part of the friend that did the recording and didn't check it). I have another DVD of the webcam part that is perfect. Can I copy this and replace the bad one on the iso image I have. Or is this far too complicated. Thks in advance. | 22:24 |
| gnutron | rww: i see. ok | 22:24 |
| rocknroll | what is delphi?? | 22:24 |
| AndyB | CashMoney, I just ran the ubuntu installer, didnt see anything about Journalizing | 22:25 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: If you have an ISO editor, you can | 22:25 |
| rocknroll | is delphi is a programming language | 22:25 |
| gnutron | junk: open synaptic, choose documention section[s] install as you see fit. | 22:25 |
| junk | rocknroll: yes | 22:25 |
| junk | gnutron: thanks | 22:25 |
| junk | gnutron: command line ? | 22:25 |
| jaja921992 | Hello? | 22:25 |
| rocknroll | junk, for what purpose delphi is maily used? | 22:25 |
| gnutron | junk: in term, would be a bit harder | 22:26 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: well ext3 is indeed a journalized parittion, but if you didn't format it like "mke2fs -j /dev/hda" or whatever then it'll give you that error | 22:26 |
| jaja921992 | Can I play civilazation 4 and age of empires 3 on this? | 22:26 |
| rocknroll | junk, what are al the advantages | 22:26 |
| rww | junk: do sudo aptitude, go to doc section, install as you see fit ;-) | 22:26 |
| CaShMoNey | jaja921992: I'd suggest googling it, as this isn't a wine channel | 22:26 |
| junk | rocknroll: wiki, it is just a better version of pascal | 22:26 |
| jaja921992 | pascal sucks | 22:26 |
| jaja921992 | cobol ftw | 22:26 |

| AndyB | CaShMoNeY, Ah gah :( Is there no easy way to just set up grub so i can boot from xp internal and ubuntu external? | 22:27 |
| E4emacs4 | lol rww three birds with one stone eh? | 22:27 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: You can. Just change the drive boot order in the bios | 22:28 |
| CaShMoNey | do a complete install of ubuntu on the external | 22:28 |
| hackintosh411 | Hi Guys. | 22:28 |
| hackintosh411 | I need help. | 22:28 |
| RequinB4 | !hi | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 22:28 |
| CaShMoNey | hackintosh411: with? | 22:28 |
| badawi | what the hell is the guest account! i need to disable it pronto | 22:29 |
| junk | 22:29 | |
| hackintosh411 | When installing a theme this yellow box below says, Theme will not look as intended GTK+ engine not installed. | 22:29 |
| Maizcul | !repeat | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 22:29 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: and then change the boot order when you want to use ubuntu | 22:29 |
| hackintosh411 | What should I do. | 22:29 |
| rocknroll | is it possible to hibernate in linux | 22:29 |
| exodus_ms | install a theme compatible with your settings | 22:29 |
| RequinB4 | rocknroll: yes | 22:29 |
| CaShMoNey | hackintosh411: Umm install gtk | 22:29 |
| rocknroll | RequinB4, how?? | 22:29 |
| rww | hackintosh411: install the required gtk theme engine. The creator of the theme you're trying to install should tell you which one. | 22:30 |
| junk | TCPMSS tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp flags:SYN,RST tcpmss match 1400:1536 TCPMSS clamp to PMTU | 22:30 |
| junk | what is this rule in iptables ? | 22:30 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: did you get that? | 22:30 |
| RequinB4 | rocknroll: It should be in the shutdown screen. If itsnot you probably have an acpi problem | 22:30 |
| rocknroll | RequinB4, how can i hibernate | 22:30 |
| AndyB | CaShMoNeY, Well when in my bios, under boot and HDD, if i set the USB first, when it booots i get Media Test Failure, check cables and Invalid Partition table, usb is plugged in. | 22:30 |
| E4emacs4 | !firewall | junk | 22:31 |
| ubottu | junk: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 22:31 |
| AndyB | CashMoney, you think i should just do a whole fresh install of ubuntu to the external? any specific settings i need when doing so? | 22:31 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: I think it's cause you didn't format the external correctly | 22:31 |
| rocknroll | RequinB4, what is suspend | 22:31 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: can you list the files in grub? and what version of grub4dos did you download? | 22:31 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: yes, do the full install on the usb drive. Then change your boot order. Ubuntu should detect windows | 22:32 |
| isleshocky77 | I don't know if it was a bad mount, but I now have a remnent directory left where I normally mount an external drive. I can't delete it or ls. I get this: "ls: cannot access SDO Large: Input/output error" Any ideas on how to get rid of it? | 22:32 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: in some forum posts it says one needs atleast 0.4.4 as in this release some error in the extfs driver was fixed that causes that issue you have | 22:32 |
| isleshocky77 | ls of it's parent directory returns a listing like this: "d????????? ? ? ? ? ? SDO Large" | 22:32 |
| fevel | please friends, has anyone seen this error? <fevel> please anyone??? | 22:32 |

| CaShMoNey | lol | 22:32 |
| RequinB4 | rocknroll: suspend puts all of your data and current settings into RAM and puts into a minimal power usage mode and locks your screen. Hibernate is like shut down but put all your setings and data etc on your hard drive (swap) | 22:32 |
| CaShMoNey | idiotoso | 22:32 |
| AndyB | CashMoney, I shall attempt this | 22:32 |
| exodus_ms | did you mean CDO or was it SDO? | 22:33 |
| CaShMoNey | idioso | 22:33 |
| fevel | sorry | 22:33 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: Yes. | 22:33 |
| gnutron | isleshocky77: you need to chmod 755 the-directory/ sudo may need to preceed the command. | 22:33 |
| CaShMoNey | AndyB: when it comes to installing bootload "grub" make sure you select your external drive | 22:34 |
| mgolisch | i thought the bios doenst support usb boot? | 22:34 |
| CaShMoNey | so it doesn't touch windows | 22:34 |
| mgolisch | hows that gona work out? | 22:34 |
| grendal_prime | do i need to use session_start() anymore? | 22:34 |
| junk | What is this rule in iptables , it comes default by ubuntu ? "TCPMSS tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp flags:SYN,RST tcpmss match 1400:1536 TCPMSS clamp to PMTU" | 22:34 |
| CaShMoNey | mgolisch: the newer systems do | 22:34 |
| isleshocky77 | gnutron: "chmod: cannot access `SDO Large': Input/output error" | 22:34 |
| grendal_prime | i would assume that i do not. | 22:34 |
| emilien | i just installed arch on other partion but ubunu grub didin't pick it up what i add to grub file ? | 22:34 |
| CaShMoNey | isleshocky77: it's just a mount point. Are you root? | 22:34 |
| CaShMoNey | arch what? | 22:35 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Sorry just seen your reply. What is the repo called for iso editing??? | 22:35 |
| CaShMoNey | I think ISO Master would work | 22:35 |
| isleshocky77 | CaShMoNey: It's directory which was create as a mount point for my external drive automatically. Now the drive is not mounted and that's left. Found it because when I mount the drive it now mounts as 'SDO Large-1' | 22:35 |
| exodus_ms | are you running a mail server? | 22:36 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: make sure you used atleast grub4dos 0.4.4 as this should eliminate the problem you are seeing | 22:36 |
| AndyB | Mgolisch, grr i would have 0.4.3, just one build off | 22:36 |
| mgolisch | :) | 22:36 |
| AndyB | Ill download the latest now and just replace the files except for the menu.lst | 22:36 |
| mgolisch | yeah its confusing the new builds are at the bottom of the page | 22:36 |
| mgolisch | AndyB: yeah | 22:36 |
| mgolisch | :) | 22:36 |
| emilien | CaShMoNey, arch linux | 22:36 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoney: I will try and find it. Thks. Incidently I am trying now to make an identical copy of a DVD film I bought to see if it works, but I think something strange has happened. I will report back in a while if you don't mind? Let me know if you have had enough of me today OK??? | 22:36 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, just updated it to a win_bin 1.0.1 version, rebooting | 22:37 |
| vitamin-carrot | good morning | 22:37 |
| vitamin-carrot | quick question | 22:37 |
| RequinB4 | My HDD LED keeps flickering every 4 seconds. Can i ignore this as normal operation? | 22:37 |
| Erealz | hi their guys | 22:37 |
| RequinB4 | !hi | 22:38 |
| vitamin-carrot | i need to replace my mounted /dos hdd with a new one after i transfere everything across | 22:38 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: some dvd copies are copyprotected, meaning that they are encoded with a security feature to prevent copying. I only know of one program, and that's for windows, and it's called "AnyDVD" | 22:38 |
| CaShMoNey | RequinB4: Yeah, ignore it unless your system starts to be irresponsive | 22:38 |
| badawi | what's the default password for the guest account? | 22:38 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, no change, same error about filesystem | 22:38 |
| mgolisch | hm | 22:38 |
| Mohero | RequinB4: I think you can, yes, there's lots of things that will read/write to your disk even if you think the system is "idle" | 22:38 |
| Maizcul | guest? | 22:39 |
| isleshocky77 | CaShMoNey, gnutron: any other ideas? | 22:39 |
| FiremanEd | 22:39 | |
| FiremanEd | aaal | 22:39 |
| eternalswd | gedit segfaults for me when I try to run it in intrepid. sudo gedit works fine. anyone know a fix? | 22:39 |
| Erealz | I need some help. Im a freelance computer tech and one of my client is in need of a router with about 8 ports can someone recommend a good one? | 22:39 |
| thetrav | ok, so is there any way for me to shut down X and not have it automatically restart? | 22:39 |
| badawi | Maizcul: click on gdm user switcher there's guest session, it creates a giest account | 22:39 |
| vitamin-carrot | Erealz: wot coutry are you in? | 22:39 |
| RequinB4 | Mohero CaShMoNey: I'm just paranoid every since i found out beagle wouldn't stop indexing my hard drive | 22:39 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, also i dont have any option to boot from usb in my boot options if i hit F12 it doesnt list usb but if i go into BIOS and Boot, its in there. but same thing, it wont boot even if i set it to boot usb first | 22:39 |
| thetrav | I should qualify that... I want it to star if I reboot the computer, but until then I don't need it running | 22:40 |
| thetrav | s/star/start | 22:40 |
| vitamin-carrot | Erealz: I would recomend netgear | 22:40 |
| CaShMoNey | RequinB4: it just means your computer is caching programs into ram. | 22:40 |
| Erealz | nyc | 22:40 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: I think you are right again as it won't read the copy I made an error came up. I did the copy as you said and it went thru it very quickly, unlike earlier. In fact the film original film is 6.5gb and its only copied 174 mib which is only probably the title????? Any ideas?? | 22:40 |
| Erealz | usa | 22:40 |
| isleshocky77 | CaShMoNey, gnutron: Nevermind, figured it out. Ran umount on it as a suggestion in a post in google. | 22:40 |
| Mohero | thetrav: you only want to shutdown X for the current session? | 22:40 |
| Erealz | could you linkmeup | 22:40 |
| AndyB | mgolisch, Should i just do the full reinstall of Ubuntu onto the drive, that way it should install grub like it did the first time. I will just need to keep the usb plugged in. I will want to change that, but it can be done once i get it all working again | 22:40 |
| RequinB4 | CaShMoNey: I didn't think the light went off when RAM was acessed? | 22:40 |
| eternalswd | Erealz, netgear has had load issues for me whenever I had used them, I'd go with linksys | 22:41 |
| Mohero | thetrav: you can go into a console (CTRL + ALT + F1 ) then once logged in, run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 22:41 |
| gggggggggg | how do i install a webcam | 22:41 |
| thetrav | Mohero, I want to shut down X for all sessions... I've got the computer in the kitchen and no peripherals plugged in to it... Really I should have set it up different, but to save myself time I'd like to just turn off X | 22:41 |
| gggggggggg | cheese just closes | 22:41 |
| Erealz | welll on newegg all I find is 4 port ones?... | 22:41 |
| CaShMoNey | RequinB4: well it has to cache from hd to ram | 22:41 |
| RequinB4 | CaShMoNey: ah. thx | 22:42 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: that's weird | 22:42 |
| roco324234543345 | How do I install a jdbc driver for MSSQL? | 22:42 |
| vitamin-carrot | Erealz: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=423 | 22:42 |
| badawi | !guest | 22:42 |
| Mohero | thetrav: ok, in that case you can install sysv-rc-conf and remove "GDM" from startup, then you can run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" when you want it | 22:42 |
| exodus_ms | RequinB4> take a terminal and type 'top' or 'sudo apt-get install htop' then you can see exactly what is going on | 22:43 |
| tripzero | I have an interesting problem.... I need to take a package list (via gpkg -l) from a very slimmed down version of feisty, diff it against intrepids default packages, and remove the packages that aren't in the feisty version... | 22:43 |
| tripzero | can anyone help me with that ? | 22:43 |
| thetrav | thanks mohero | 22:43 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: Glad you are of the same opinion. It all went too quickly compared to the earlier one. I wonder what could have happened. Do you think its a problem of the protection on the DVD? | 22:43 |
| Mohero | thetrav: no problem. | 22:43 |
| CaShMoNey | tripzero: I think ubuntu will only update what it has on it's system already | 22:43 |
| exodus_ms | have you tried 'dd ing' the disc? | 22:43 |

| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: it's a good possibility | 22:44 |
| exodus_ms | RequinB4> just thought you could check htop to see if any hdd indexing from beagle was going on | 22:44 |
| RequinB4 | exodus_ms: Actually no, but you reminded me to disable the clamav daemon, thx :) | 22:45 |

| irpapabear | hello all | 22:45 |
| RequinB4 | !hi | 22:45 |
| davelbarton | I have installed VirtualBox with a Windows guest on an Ubuntu intrepid host. After a long, long time working on the installation, I got it to work; now, however, none of the disks attached to the USB work. I have tried several, so I don't think the disk is bad. It has to be somewhere in the system after VirtualBox was in. Can someone knowledgeable in both VirtualBox and ubuntu help me get my disk back? When I try to access it, it g | 22:45 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: i'd make an image just like earlier, like that one guy said. And then do the process like the last one we did | 22:46 |
| badawi | davelbarton: free version of virtualbox doesn't support USB devices | 22:46 |
| FreeFull | I compiled a kernel .deb and when I try to install it, I get an error (output from dpkg showing the error: http://pastebin.com/m15d36553 ) | 22:46 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: I think it's a permissions problem | 22:46 |
| davelbarton | I downloaded the full, non-free version, badawi. | 22:46 |
| davelbarton | Besides, this is in the host system, not the guest. | 22:46 |
| davelbarton | How so, Cashmoney? | 22:46 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: I installed the OSE version, and it works just fine. Don't know about the usb thing, but I'm guessing it's a permissions thing | 22:47 |
| eternalswd | Erealz, from my experience a linksys 4 port router + linksys 5 port switch is still faster than a single netgear router. | 22:47 |
| kernando | Can anyone help? i cant click on pretty much anything when i open a folder or any programs! i have to use my keyboard. but i know my mouse works because ive tried it on other partitions and it works a little bit on this one | 22:47 |
| CaShMoNey | You're running the virtualbox under root or under your username? | 22:47 |
| davelbarton | Thanks for the guess, Cashmoney. | 22:47 |
| CaShMoNey | well I mean with "Sudo" | 22:47 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: I wrote down everything we did earlier and copied it to the letter. I was mystified when it copied so quickly. I will try remaking the iso image and see if it does the same so quickly OK? Be back soon. | 22:47 |
| FreeFull | I compiled a kernel .deb and when I try to install it, I get an error (output from dpkg showing the error: http://pastebin.com/m15d36553 ) | 22:47 |
| davelbarton | Under my username. | 22:47 |
| exodus_ms | !patient | 22:47 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: okay | 22:48 |
| davelbarton | (CashMoney: under my user name.) | 22:48 |
| E4emacs4 | where do you get the non-free version of virtualbox ? | 22:48 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: right opening a console and open virtualbox using sudo | 22:48 |
| CaShMoNey | see if it works, if so, then it's definitely a permissions thing | 22:48 |
| Doller | hey | 22:49 |
| Doller | emeras | 22:49 |
| Doller | :* | 22:49 |
| davelbarton | Cashmoney, I'll try that. However, I must point out that the USB is down even when VirtualBox is not operating. | 22:49 |
| EmeraS | :))) | 22:49 |
| irpapabear | he should have the partitions or drives mount before he run vbox...yes | 22:49 |
| Doller | how are you ? | 22:49 |
| Maizcul | lol, my battery takes 1 hr 30 to charge, and lasts 30 mins xD | 22:49 |
| FreeFull | I compiled a kernel .deb and when I try to install it, I get an error (output from dpkg showing the error: http://pastebin.com/m15d36553 ) Anyone willing to help? | 22:49 |
| Doller | EmeraS u are my girfriend yeah ? | 22:49 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: even with the vm isn't running? Then you must add it your fstab using the UUID | 22:49 |
| EmeraS | No | 22:49 |

| Doller | why ? | 22:49 |

| CaShMoNey | latest or the stablest? | 22:50 |
| CaShMoNey | lol | 22:51 |
| irpapabear | trick question | 22:51 |
| eternalswd | archangelpetro, just check http://packages.ubuntu.com run a search for blender | 22:51 |
| davelbarton | ChashMonkey, when I tried that just now, VirtualBox came up, but did not know what machine was available (under my user name) or which disk was assigned. | 22:51 |

| keithclark | dax_roc, ok, works on XP. | 22:52 |
| davelbarton | (cashmoney, sorry --- my fingers slipped) | 22:52 |
| Guest47799 | Alright dudes. Have looked on ubuntu forums and cannot find an easy newbie fix for this. My Logitech QuickCam Messenger no longer works since upgrade to Intrepid. Any easy ideas that 1) cost nothing (don't want to replace camera as I am sure it still works) and 2) are easy for a numpty to implement. Ta for advice. | 22:52 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: so you navigate to the virtual box you have installed already | 22:52 |
| Saga_ | Can somebody guide me to the right direction? How do I install Mobloquer. I looked at the forums -- There's no luck. Still get the errors on the console. | 22:52 |
| zbyszek | hi can you tell what can i do with .par2 files? | 22:52 |
| Maizcul | zbyszek: whatever you want | 22:53 |
| DavidCanarias | CaShMoNey: It has done exactly the same as the last time and very quickly. If you are interested to carry on with this theme I can pastebin the results of the desktop. I still have the original one we did earlier tonight to be able to compare with the 2 latest ones. Also I have another repo installed which should allow me to iso copy a DVD but it takes a long while. This may interest you too. Confirm first though as you have been h | 22:53 |

| dick-richardson | how do I remove the subdirectory listing from an ls -R? I want the files IN the subdirectory...just not the directory itself | 22:53 |
| dewente | hello, vmware stops working in my ubuntu's pc ! help | 22:53 |
| badawi | CaShMoNey: virtualbox has the sticky flag on and user should be in the group vboxuser or something like that to use it. so it's already running as root | 22:53 |
| dick-richardson | dewente, since the kernel upgrade? | 22:53 |
| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: it really depends on what it's meant to do. Give me the url to the pastebin | 22:54 |
| dewente | dick-richardson, i not sure of | 22:54 |
| Steven2 | hmm | 22:54 |
| davelbarton | From a sudo, I can't. It doesn't see them. I'm sure there is some switch I could use to make the sudo version look at the .VirtualBox directory in my own folder, but I don't know what it is offhand. | 22:54 |
| davelbarton | (CashMoney, the previous was for you.) | 22:54 |
| davelbarton | Cashmoney and Badawi: I'm already in vboxusers. | 22:54 |
| dick-richardson | run vmware-server from the terminal...paste the output into pastebin and paste that link here | 22:54 |
| Steven2 | hi :) | 22:55 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: yes, upon installation, you should automatically be added. But I really think there's no mount point for you to mount to. | 22:55 |
| dewente | ok | 22:55 |
| Maizcul | /afk | 22:55 |
| CaShMoNey | There must be a mount point | 22:55 |
| irpapabear | agrees | 22:55 |
| === gcolley is now known as GColley | ||
| davelbarton | CashMoney, a mount point for VirtualBox? | 22:55 |
| CaShMoNey | no | 22:55 |

| CaShMoNey | for your system | 22:55 |
| irpapabear | no | 22:55 |
| CaShMoNey | for the usb | 22:55 |
| kernando | hmmm has anyone ever had trouble with their mouse and the clicking? | 22:55 |
| davelbarton | CashMoney, there is a mount point for the usb disk, at /media/disk. This worked before installing VirtualBox. | 22:56 |

| DavidCanarias | Cant find the URL for pastebin can anyone help please? | 22:56 |
| dewente | dick-richardson, command no found | 22:56 |

| CaShMoNey | DavidCanarias: a quick way to find it, google | 22:57 |
| keithclark | dax_roc, No worries....working in Linux is like applying bandaids to hardware.....nothing ever works quite right. | 22:57 |
| CaShMoNey | keithclark: no yet anyways. | 22:57 |
| CaShMoNey | cause it's constantly being updated | 22:57 |

| CaShMoNey | in the command | 23:02 |
| davelbarton | CashMoney, any more thoughts? | 23:02 |
| CaShMoNey | for installing a complete copy of ubuntu only on the usb drive? | 23:03 |

| techqbert | Client: Ubuntu 8.10 Server: OpenSolaris 101b. When I ls on this machine on a mounted CIFS share, ls will output the same file many times although only one copy exists. This doesn't happen with my other ubuntu machine that mounts by NFS. Anybody have this problem before? | 23:04 |
| badawi | CaShMoNey: could work, he'll have it as a shared drive | 23:04 |
| CaShMoNey | badawi: if it's unaccessible in the host machine, there is no way samba will fix it | 23:05 |
| kernando | its been like this for a while now ive considered reinstalling ubuntu but i dont want to lose all my information | 23:05 |
| badawi | CaShMoNey: it's the other way around i believe | 23:06 |
| kernando | such as installed programs and saved preferences in my programs playlists etc | 23:06 |
| * badawi is checking the logs | 23:06 | |
| exodus_ms | backup /home and or /etc | 23:07 |
| CaShMoNey | badawi: it's not a shared drive though. It's on the Host computer | 23:07 |
| CaShMoNey | and it isn't able to access it | 23:07 |
| CaShMoNey | so if it's not an accessible share, then how is it a workaround? | 23:07 |
| bender1337 | Hi i have ubuntu 8.10 and it keeps freezing randomly i thinks it my xorg.conf file but don't know what to change. | 23:07 |
| eeboy__ | I am trying to install PHP5 but libapache-mod-php5 doesn't seem to be in the repositories... any suggestions? | 23:07 |
| davelbarton | Exactly, badawi; I can get to my main disk fine, but the USB disk is dead. | 23:08 |
| coppro | Compiz is making my nonfocused windows have a slight transparency to them; this is irritating as I don't like it and it slows my computer down; how do I disable it | 23:08 |
| davelbarton | Interestingly, my palm pilot still is able to backup through the USB. | 23:08 |
| undeclaredx | Hey all.. fresh install of 8.10, compiz/nviida drivers working and what not... I want to get that desktop cube thing worknig (where you can rotate it and go to the next desktop), is there a good guide I can find? | 23:08 |
| kansan | is there a way on thunderbird for ubuntu hardy to .... do the 'archive' functionality that gmail does if you're logged into their web app? if so, how? | 23:08 |
| undeclaredx | eeboy__ - apt-get install php5 should do everything, including that | 23:08 |
| undeclaredx | and install it. | 23:08 |
| roco324234543345 | would someone please tell me how to install MSSQL JDBC drivers ? | 23:08 |
| coppro | undeclaredx: if the drivers are working, you should be able to turn that on in the settings manager | 23:09 |
| undeclaredx | eeboy__ - ideally, apt-get install apache php5 mysql-server | 23:09 |
| undeclaredx | that would be LAMP | 23:09 |
| badawi | davelbarton: so your problem is not with Vbox it's with mounting the usb disk to ubuntu | 23:09 |
| undeclaredx | coppro - where though, which one? | 23:09 |
| jabop | Hi, I'm trying to stop "HTTP Cache Cleaner..." from launching. How can I stop this? I'm running 8.10 | 23:09 |

| coppro | also, rotate cube probably | 23:09 |
| undeclaredx | okay but | 23:09 |
| undeclaredx | how do I rotate it and what not | 23:09 |
| coppro | you change the settings in rotate cube | 23:09 |

| davelbarton | Exactly, badawi, but only *after* VirtualBox was installed. | 23:10 |
| DrX | does Linux have an easy NTBackup equivalent that let you backup your entire OS drive to a share on an NTFS USB drive on a Windows share? | 23:10 |
| E4emacs4 | will the non-free Virtualbox expire after a certain time or something? | 23:10 |
| rebort | hello guys | 23:10 |

| badawi | davelbarton: can us see it with lsusb | 23:12 |
| El_Rigolo | allez | 23:12 |
| undeclaredx | eeboy__ - that will install php, apache, mysql, and get it all working.. you can add phpmyadmin too if you like | 23:12 |

| kernando | not on gooogle | 23:12 |
| rebort | was someone able to run mandvd without any errors???? | 23:12 |
| davelbarton | Badawi, I believe it is FAT32. That's the usual default for external drives these days, for universality. However, I'm not completely sure. | 23:12 |
| E4emacs4 | will the non-free Virtualbox expire after a certain time or something? | 23:13 |
| badawi | E4emacs4: read the license | 23:13 |
| eeboy__ | undeclaredx: It looks like it installed... although it doesn't seem to be interpreting my test php file | 23:13 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: I'd use fdisk to check the partition id is correct and then if it isn't, change it to ext3 if there is one | 23:13 |
| badawi | davelbarton: can you see it with lsusb? | 23:14 |
| Maizcul | Riddle me this, Riddle me that, Who's afraid of the big black bat? | 23:14 |

| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: also, I've read something about usb drives having to be formatted in vfat 16 | 23:15 |

| CaShMoNey | but I thought you just said that nothing USB works? | 23:21 |
| nbeebo | why does conky cover up my desktop icons? | 23:21 |
| Maizcul | them^ | 23:21 |
| Saga_ | Anybody here use Moblock? This is seriously annoying me. | 23:21 |
| peterloorke | i can see machines, and those names but i can't get any other information except the machine names P | 23:21 |
| mbcudmore | unhelpful | 23:21 |
| kernando | oh gee why didnt i think of that | 23:21 |
| peterloorke | their* i mean | 23:21 |
| afief | mbcudmore, the fact that an application can make your *system* unusable is a bug in the system, a bug report would be helpful | 23:21 |
| rebort | do you have apache installed? | 23:21 |
| peterloorke | no | 23:21 |
| afief | mbcudmore, you should try to ssh in remotely to see if the bug lies in xorg or somewhere else... the "system" is rather huge | 23:21 |
| badawi | davelbarton: paste the output of lsusb -v | 23:21 |
| rebort | hmm | 23:22 |
| nil | the way... how do I remove the landscape.canonical commercial from my login message? | 23:22 |
| badawi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:22 |
| mbcudmore | afief, i'll try next time it happens/ | 23:22 |
| * nil is quite shocked do see such a commercial message at login.... | 23:22 | |
| peterloorke | also Mustinet can't see machines under workgroup | 23:22 |
| davelbarton | badawi, sorry about the delay --- my dog went bananas. Yes, I have rebooted many times. I haven't tried just manually restarting dbus. | 23:23 |
| afief | mbcudmore, good luck. my brother had this problem today, turned out it was a race condition when gtk programs(in my case pidgin) open too many windows too quickly | 23:23 |
| jabop | Hi, I'm trying to stop "HTTP Cache Cleaner..." from launching. How can I stop this? I'm running 8.10 | 23:23 |
| kernando | Maizcul, thanks for acknowledging me at least lol oh god | 23:23 |
| badawi | davelbarton: paste the output of lsusb -v to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:23 |
| davelbarton | Cashmoney, I meant to say that none of the UDB *disks* work. The Palm Pilot works. | 23:23 |
| rebort | peterloorke is sharing activated? hdd setup for sharing? | 23:23 |
| robert__ | what does deb mean? | 23:23 |
| dimedo | hi, i configured a german keyboard driver in System/Administation/Keyboard. now if i boot up, the correct driver is still shown up but an US layout is used. but if i then restart xserver, the correct german layout is used. the problem is only related to x, in the framebuffer consoles the german driver is loaded all the time | 23:24 |
| peterloorke | ummmmm.. i guess i don't know | 23:24 |
| rebort | deb is the abreviation for debian | 23:24 |
| peterloorke | how can i be sure if that's activated or not? | 23:24 |
| robert__ | rebort, k, what the hell is that? | 23:24 |
| Maizcul | Debian? All this time I thought it was for Deborah! | 23:24 |
| irpapabear | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ipblock-graphical-ip-blocker.html | 23:24 |
| digitalfiz | omg me too Maizcul! | 23:24 |
| rebort | debian=deborah/Jan | 23:25 |
| justizin1 | is xen Dom0 support in Ubuntu 8.10, or only kvm? I installed ubuntu-xen-desktop and rebooted, new kernel is the one that booted, but xm throws errors. | 23:25 |
| irpapabear | oops | 23:25 |
| MonthOLDpickle | Is there a 64 bit version of ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| mbcudmore | thanks afief. it is frustrating that I cannot force kill such "uninterruptible" apps. i've reduced the problem at least by not opening several apps at system startup, but i think the flash plugin may be involved. I'll try ssh and may do a bug report later. | 23:25 |
| davelbarton | Doing that now, badawi. | 23:25 |
| justizin1 | MonthOLDpickle: yep | 23:25 |
| MonthOLDpickle | For intel? | 23:25 |
| irpapabear | that link was for U saga | 23:25 |
| CaShMoNey | I think I know what's the problem | 23:25 |
| mgolisch | MonthOLDpickle: yeah | 23:25 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: search for usbutils | 23:25 |
| peterloorke | btw windows machines can access my computer in the same network | 23:25 |
| afief | mbcudmore, wait, is it that you can't kill the process or that the system freezes? | 23:25 |
| robert__ | how do you tell what kind of system you have, edgy-dapper-or breezy? | 23:26 |
| mgolisch | MonthOLDpickle: on the download page select 64bit | 23:26 |
| davelbarton | Usbutils? OK. Let me paste, then I'll do that. | 23:26 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: "apt-cache search usbutils" | 23:26 |
| MDWailes | server -ssl irc.ruffdogs.com 6670 | 23:26 |
| mgolisch | robert__: lsb_release -a | 23:26 |
| mbcudmore | can't kill the process, so can't run the application (firefox) and other apps begin to become unintteruptible and freeze as well. so I restart. | 23:26 |
| Maizcul | !ot | 23:26 |
| rebort | go to the harddrive you want to acces and check the properties in the context menu peeterlorke | 23:26 |
| Maizcul | dead bot is still dead | 23:26 |
| irpapabear | !ot | 23:27 |
| CaShMoNey | lol | 23:27 |
| ramen | hi ^^ i've activated "animations add-on" in ccsm but the animations aren't happening... is there something else i need to do to get them to work? | 23:27 |
| afief | mbcudmore, sounds like something is using up insane amounts of memory... you might want to add a memory meter to your task panel(system monitor applet in gnome) | 23:27 |
| peterloorke | haa you mean windows machine's hdd? | 23:27 |
| dewente | hello, vmware stops working in my ubuntu's pc ! help | 23:27 |
| Maizcul | ramen: Give them a pay rise. | 23:27 |
| ramen | haha | 23:27 |
| lovinglinux | Hi. Does someone know a cli app that can display reminders in the system notification baloons? | 23:27 |
| afief | mbcudmore, the best way to kill a process is sudo kill -9 pid(not sure you need sudo, but it doesn't hurt if you know your pid) | 23:27 |
| ChamPro | I'm having an issue connecting to a Samba share (my NAS), though I can connect to a different Samba share (on my server). The "Connect to" dialog does not connect and it seems that it's disregarding capitalization. So the share I want is Volume_2, but in the dialog it insists on saying volume_2 | 23:27 |
| davelbarton | I have been interrupted (very important interrupt). | 23:28 |
| mbcudmore | afief, will do. sometimes the system even refuses to shut down because the process can't be stopped. | 23:28 |
| davelbarton | ChainMoney, I'll check for usbutils. | 23:28 |
| peterloorke | it's ok, i'm sure about thw windows machi$ne's sharing options cuz i can see the same computer by an another windows machine | 23:28 |
| davelbarton | Thanks, everyone, for help and advice. | 23:28 |
| badawi | bye | 23:28 |
| davelbarton | And I'll get that pasted of you're around, badawi. | 23:28 |
| CaShMoNey | davelbarton: I love how you get my name wrong every time | 23:28 |
| afief | mbcudmore, that sounds like something's written in one of those stupid over-used "uninteruptible" code sections... I hate it when people use too many of those | 23:28 |
| ramen | i've offered the effects double salary but they're still not working. anyone else have an idea? | 23:29 |
| mbcudmore | afief, uninteruptible is a keyword in the source code? ingenious. | 23:30 |
| Maizcul | ramen: Company Cars? | 23:30 |
| rebort | peterloorke: it depends on which machine you want to connect to | 23:30 |
| badawi | how can i set the "default session" to be gnome for new users? i installed lxde and that seems to have taken over. now if a i create a new user, when they login, it would be a lxde session not a gnome session | 23:30 |
| === justizin1 is now known as bitmonk | ||
| afief | mbcudmore, yeah something like that, for example in a database you want some stuff to either fully execute or not at all, but it should be VERY small sections and VERY well checked code | 23:31 |
| mrmike | Question, trying to install ubuntu from CD I get the sr0 error, I've since installed using the mini iso but just curious, what caused it not to like my dvd rom? It's an adopted Lightscribe DVD burner from an old HP machine | 23:31 |
| ramen | maizcul: nope, they don't need cars. or something | 23:31 |
| ramen | maizcul: something about a paper plane? idk | 23:31 |
| rebort | peterloorke did it work? | 23:31 |
| rob | anyone mind helping me get an epson stylus 7000F's scanner working in ubuntu? | 23:32 |

| Linuxnoob100 | is there a way to automatically detect my router? im hard wired. ubuntu server 8.04 | 23:33 |
| mgolisch | Linuxnoob100: just configure the network with dhcp | 23:33 |
| ChamPro | I get the same case error when I just type it into Nautilus smb://10.1.1.5/Volume_2 changes to volume_2 when the password dialog comes up | 23:33 |
| Linuxnoob100 | how? | 23:33 |
| rebort | peterloorke do you want to access from your linux machine your windows machine or the other way round? | 23:34 |
| nbeebo | how come some things get invicible behind other transparent things on my desktop? | 23:34 |
| nbeebo | i can make screenshot if u want | 23:34 |
| mgolisch | Linuxnoob100: edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, documentation can be found in man interfaces | 23:34 |
| peterloorke | rebort: i want to connect a windows machine from my linux computer | 23:34 |
| lovinglinux | Why this channel always have 1210 users? | 23:34 |
| rob | Anyone know where i can get drivers for the Epson Stylus CX7000F multifunction 's scanner? Epson doesnt seem to make them available. Any packages out there? | 23:34 |
| nbeebo | because some people got thier names registered i guess | 23:34 |
| ChamPro | related issue, why does the option to connect to a SMB share in Midnight Commander come up on my server (Ubuntu Server) but not on my desktop (Ubuntu as well) | 23:34 |
| peterloorke | i can connect linux computer from a windows machine already. i want the other way | 23:35 |
| zetheroo | I am trying to get a GTK theme to work in Ubuntu without messing up Firefox ... and there is a readme with the package but the Firefox file I am supposed to edit does not exist on my system .... | 23:35 |
| lovinglinux | nbeebo: makes sense. but this number never change. | 23:35 |
| rebort | peterloorke in that case you need to install the apache client | 23:35 |
| nbeebo | lovinglinux, never? propaganda lol | 23:36 |
| peterloorke | allright then i can install it via synaptic right? | 23:36 |
| nbeebo | why does this happen? http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Screenshot.png | 23:37 |
| rebort | peterloorke wait! | 23:37 |
| lovinglinux | nbeebo: yep lol | 23:37 |
| calwig | does anyone know how to use clive?? | 23:38 |
| nbeebo | !clive | 23:38 |
| __mikem | i have a question. When you fix it so you boot linux from a thumb drive, does the /home area exist on the thumb drive as well? | 23:38 |
| rebort | sorry peterloorke, i was wrong. of course not apache, samba. you need samba client/samba server | 23:38 |
| rebort | it depends on what you want to do | 23:39 |
| nbeebo | someone made so i cant use !commands | 23:39 |
| lovinglinux | gtodo | 23:39 |
| n2diy | What is the current version of CVS? | 23:39 |

| peterloorke | i'm trying to connect by samba | 23:39 |
| calwig | nbeebo: seems like clive isnt available thanks | 23:39 |
| ChamPro | n2diy: current as in newest CVS version or current as in newest in the Ubuntu repositories? | 23:39 |
| rebort | but best is will be to have a look at the ubuntu wiki | 23:39 |
| nbeebo | why does this happen?: http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Screenshot.png sorry for long link | 23:39 |

| __mikem | rdw200169: thats a bummer. Is that true for all flash memory? | 23:43 |
| rdw200169 | __mikem: thumbdrives will always be good for storing files and such | 23:43 |
| nbeebo | ChamPro, dammit.. well ill set it on left side, thanks for help! | 23:43 |
| rob | backport repository to use while in interpid? | 23:43 |

| etale | jordo2323 I got a reply from some addres icmp_seq destination host unreachable | 23:44 |
| ChamPro | n2diy: though it really depends on what Ubuntu version you're running | 23:44 |
| __mikem | rdw200169: that really sucks. It would have been really cool if i could just cary my entire linux environment in my pocket | 23:44 |
| rdw200169 | __mikem: it's not the same for all flash media, you have to check the specs for each individual device | 23:44 |

| rdw200169 | __mikem: so you can use the setup on different computers | 23:51 |
| __mikem | the_dark_warrio: oh, I was going to recomend wubi | 23:51 |

| DreaDy | ?? | 23:52 |
| DaveDixonII | kbrooks: I haven't been able to speed it up. It shouldnt take that long. At least 2 minutes | 23:52 |
| rdw200169 | kbrooks: chances are, if you use dhcp for the network, that it wastes time waiting for an ip | 23:52 |
| ubuntoRoxx | ccmonster: Okay...how can i check if there is already a JDK on the machine? | 23:52 |
| gnutron | kbrooks: investigate your dmesg output for clues. | 23:52 |
| btoogood | gnutron: what happened | 23:52 |
| ccmonster | well you should have some java packages installed | 23:52 |
| ccmonster | if that's the case, and JDK is on there, open up synaptic | 23:53 |
| etale | jordo2323 ok dhclient eth0 id doing something weird... now 'no dhcpoffeers received, no working leases in persistent database-sleeping' | 23:53 |
| kbrooks | gnutron: Meaning? | 23:53 |
| ccmonster | and do a search, | 23:53 |
| ubuntoRoxx | ccmonster: Where should they be | 23:53 |
| gnutron | btoogood: are you referring to my intrepid comment? | 23:53 |
| ccmonster | should? Not sure off the top of my head | 23:53 |
| nbeebo | anyone know any good gtk theme manager without the need of gnome? | 23:53 |
| btoogood | gnutron: yip | 23:53 |
| jordo2323 | etale, are you both plugged into a switch? Are you on DHCP or do you have a static Ip? | 23:53 |
| ubuntoRoxx | ccmonster: Can i search the entire system? | 23:53 |
| lauren_ | I would like to know if I can fix the menu lst only by changing the entries | 23:54 |
| gnutron | btoogood: only my observation, its seems to be very common, i'm on hardy yet. | 23:54 |
| ccmonster | yes. Go into System. | 23:54 |
| lauren_ | from 8.04 in 8.10? | 23:54 |
