| fallore | My firefox window is giving me a lot of trouble. When I open it is is maximized full screen (an on top of the top and bottom panel) and missing the title bar containing the minimize, maximize and close buttons. All methods of resizing it (Alt + Shift, Alt + Click, F11, etc) that I've tried thus far have failed. Can anyone help me restore my FF back to normal? | 00:00 |
| eternaljoy | catmando: use the 8.04 ALTERNATIVE CD | 00:00 |
| onetinsoldier | i should say that i fixed up the Makefile so it will compile on x86_64.. left that out | 00:00 |
| jabop | fallore: ie4linux | 00:00 |
| eternaljoy | catmando: use the 8.04 ALTERNATIVE CD and tell it to use VLM encryption during install | 00:00 |
| jabop | w00t | 00:00 |
| catmando | eternaljoy: yeah i am | 00:00 |
| fallore | jabop: if you're suggesting a different browser i'd rather not, thanks | 00:00 |
| catmando | eternaljoy: i need a specific setup | 00:01 |
| eternaljoy | catmando: during install... choose VLM encryption | 00:01 |
| eternaljoy | catmando: easy as that | 00:01 |
| catmando | eternaljoy: i guess it's actually a theoretical question | 00:01 |
| eternaljoy | catmando: you dont need anything... during install... choose VLM encryption | 00:01 |

| anto9us | fallore, alt+f7 and alt+f8 will allow you to move and resize respectively | 00:02 |
| fallore | anto9us: neither of those do anything. | 00:02 |
| jabop | fallore: alt+click and drag will work too | 00:03 |

| paulo | #ubuntu-es | 00:03 |

| fallore | anto9us: no | 00:04 |

| corinth | Is there a way to check the md5sum of a burned disc? | 00:14 |

| dr_willis | computer, there is no root password.. the initial user has 'sudo' rights.. and yes it will want their password. | 00:14 |
| computer | user123 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported | 00:14 |
| anto9us | nuts, also try ekiga, cheese doesn't work properly with my built in webcam sometimes where ekiga sees it fine | 00:14 |
| corinth | Thanks, Pici | 00:14 |
| jrib | computer: 'su - ADMIN_ACCOUNT' to login as ADMIN_ACCOUNT then | 00:15 |
| anto9us | computer, you're not in the admin group | 00:15 |
| dr_willis | computer, I guess you could call the 'first' user you made the admin account.. but its rarely called that.. | 00:15 |
| nuts | anto9us, ekiga also reports no cam | 00:15 |
| kristian1 | i have to mount /dev/sdb1 to /HDD and make it remain there even if i reboot, i can't get it to work! any help is very much appreciated! | 00:15 |
| dr_willis | kristian1, make a proper entry in /etc/fstab for the device. | 00:16 |
| nuts | anto9us, also no Fn keys to turn on/off cam | 00:16 |
| anto9us | nuts, it's a built in webcam? | 00:16 |
| catmando | erm | 00:16 |
| scientes | i have a feeling that ubuntu stores system time as local time which is idiotic, how can i check and change this | 00:16 |
| catmando | does anyone know how to pass pageup to irssi from a macbook? | 00:16 |
| DanaG | Windows likes it that way, so Ubuntu does it that way for compatibility. | 00:16 |
| nuts | anto9us, yes built in.. it worked fine when i first installed ibex.. it's an acer crystal eye cam | 00:16 |
| scientes | but windows can be changed easily | 00:17 |
| scientes | windows only did it for compadibility too | 00:17 |
| scientes | with dos | 00:17 |
| rww | catmando: Fn+Up Arrow usually works for me o.O | 00:17 |
| calc | scientes: i'm prety sure it asks you on install | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | so we are grandfathered back all the way to the stone age. :) | 00:17 |
| kristian1 | dr_willis : that's the problem! :( i added "/dev/sdb1 /HDD ext3 defaults 0 0" to etc/fstab, and the hdd will be there, but after rebooting, it no long is used, only the main hdd is used. any thoughts? | 00:17 |
| anto9us | nuts, I'm guessing there should be a key combination to enable/disable then | 00:17 |
| albert_fish | dr_willis can you take a look at this? ive asked a few times without getting assitence and ive noticed you are one of the more helpfull people on here over the last year+? so ifigured id ask you http://pastebin.com/m60af6753 i tryed to set up windows because linux does not yet support my printer and now ive lost grub,following the direction available onine does not work to restore grub | 00:17 |
| catmando | rww: yeah that's what I thought, but it's not doing it | 00:18 |
| catmando | rww: i wonder if going through screen is what's messing it up | 00:18 |
| igorw | kristian1 did you created /HDD directory? | 00:18 |
| calc | scientes: set it in /etc/default/rcS and then set the time like you want (i think) | 00:18 |
| DanaG | http://jvliet.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-system-clock-setting-for-utc.html | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | kristian1, you did somthing wrong then.. or you got somthing else going on. what do you mean by 'the main hdd' ? also - its best to use the UUID= type nameing features that way the same hd always gets mounted to the same place. | 00:18 |
| DanaG | oops, lemme switch into screen. | 00:18 |
| storrgie | Is there a good web editor that will connect to my site using ssh? | 00:18 |
| storrgie | i mean server | 00:19 |
| kristian1 | igor : yes i already made the dir | 00:19 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: gedit? :-) | 00:19 |
| dr_willis | kristian1, if you add that line to fstab.. it wont 'be' there untill you reboot, or run 'sudo mount -a' or 'sudo mount /HDD' so you need to clarify what exactly its doing I guess | 00:19 |
| storrgie | musikgoat|main: its a headless box, i want to edit the files over ssh | 00:19 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: yes, create a "connect to server" connection via sftp (ssh), and then edit with gedit | 00:20 |
| storrgie | musikgoat|main: how do you do that? I know how to do sftp but dont know how to use it. | 00:20 |
| kristian1 | dr_willis : will try | 00:20 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: so start with the "connect to server" and if you plan to do this alot, i recommend creating a bookmark | 00:21 |
| Bluebus112 | Is there any way to limit the download speed when downloading updates and such on ubuntu since it uses my max and I need some for something else I'm doing | 00:21 |

| five_ | ok | 00:53 |
| anto9us | albert_fish, cat /proc/partitions should give you a clue, devices tend to go sda, sdb, etc. and partitions sda1, sda2 etc, | 00:53 |

| root | heh | 00:55 |
| === root is now known as Lasivian | ||
| maxus | thanks for the advice will reseasrch | 00:55 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: try to obtain an ip with dhclient or dhcpcd or whatever you are using | 00:55 |
| Lasivian | yes, yes, I know "never irc as root" | 00:55 |
| anto9us | Genius314, is it configured in the bios? does it have a file system on it? | 00:56 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: and what about link quality shown when you done iwconfig ath0 | 00:56 |
| maxus | btw my laptop doesnt have a disck drive | 00:56 |
| musikgoat|main | Lasivian: you set that in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 00:56 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, all the information you need should be available from sudo iwlist ath0 scan | 00:56 |
| Lasivian | musikgoat|main: hrrm, I changed it there and was still able to ssh 127.0.0.1 and login with root | 00:57 |
| musikgoat|main | Lasivian: restart sshd: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart | 00:57 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, all except the password offcourse :) | 00:57 |
| Lasivian | oh stupid me.. | 00:57 |
| Genius314 | anto9us: Yeah, I have a filesystem on it, and it has most of my files on it. I was running Ubuntu on it before, but then I got a sata drive, installed Ubuntu on it (while the ATA was disconnected) and now I can't see it in Ubuntu... | 00:57 |
| albert_fish | Can someoen PM me and help me out with setting up grub froma live CD? http://pastebin.com/m60af6753 | 00:57 |
| Lasivian | musikgoat|main: is there a setting that would stop external logins? only 127.0.0.1 is working | 00:58 |
| radovich | hi. i have a little problem: when i runa script from shell it executes with command ./script.sh, bur when i doubleclick it it does not. how do i make a shortcut to it that works??? | 00:58 |
| maxus | neogrub im really confused now | 00:58 |
| musikgoat|main | Lasivian: there is, but i'm not sure what it is... check man sshd | 00:58 |
| Lasivian | ok, thanks | 00:59 |
| musikgoat|main | Lasivian: or it could be a firewall | 00:59 |
| gnutron | radovich: whats the very first line in your script? should be: #!/bin/bash | 00:59 |
| unop | radovich, what does the script do? | 00:59 |
| paulfitzpatrick | what do you guys recommend for managing process on a web server, to stop them killing the server - god or monitor? | 00:59 |
| radovich | it is | 00:59 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: dhclient doesn‘t get me an ip and afterwards the AP and channel are still not set | 00:59 |
| anto9us | Genius314, does gparted see it? | 00:59 |
| radovich | executes a game wormux | 00:59 |
| gribouille | hi | 00:59 |
| Lasivian | no, i've gotten as far as being certain it's hitting port 22 inbound :/ | 00:59 |
| jhalstea1 | :/p | 00:59 |
| radovich | unop: it executes a game | 00:59 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: the wlan is open btw | 00:59 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: try iwconfig ath0 ap "ESSID" | 00:59 |
| gribouille | I have speakers on one machine and I want to watch a video on another machine (connected to the former). how can I do that without unplugging the speakers ? | 00:59 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, dhclient won't be successful unless you set all parameters for iwconfig/iwpriv | 00:59 |
| third3ye | Hey there, how can I make a command react to a keyboard shortcut? | 01:00 |
| maxus | heath|OTG i dont understand what you mean by neogrub | 01:00 |
| third3ye | or make a keyboard shortcut execute a command, I dunno :P | 01:00 |
| albert_fish | Can someoen PM me and help me out with setting up grub froma live CD? http://pastebin.com/m60af6753 | 01:00 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, nick|here, that wouldn't work - an AP is a MAC address not an ESSID | 01:00 |
| Genius314 | anto9us: I don't have it installed right now, but I'll try to see if it finds it. | 01:00 |
| heath|OTG | maxus: brb | 01:00 |
| mib_jof61oin | hey guys sorry IE crashed | 01:00 |
| mib_jof61oin | maxus I don't have a repair option either | 01:00 |

| delineator | whats the difference between desktop, server, and "alternate" installations of ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| Genius314 | anto9us: Nope, it doesn't see it... | 01:01 |
| mib_jof61oin | Maxus you there? | 01:01 |
| delineator | is "alternate" for laptops or mobile devices? | 01:01 |
| onetinsoldier | third3ye: been a long time since i looked at doing anything like that, but i think you have to edit the init file | 01:01 |

| lexvegas | does anyone know what the offtopic ubuntu channel is? | 01:01 |
| nick|here | unop: my bad. sorry. fliegenderfrosch try ifconfig then check if ath0 is there. if not ifconfig ath0 up. and bring the interface up | 01:01 |
| mdmkolbe | Help! I just upgraded to 8.10 and now the wireless won't kick in. | 01:02 |
| fliegenderfrosch | unop: I followed the madwifi user guide (http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo) and there it says that the essid should be enough | 01:02 |
| noobnoob | where do i look at all my system specs under the GUI of Ubuntu? | 01:02 |
| unop | delineator, the server release doesn't contain the desktop environment - i.e. gnome or KDE - and contains stuff for web, file, print servers etc .. the alternate CD is just another way of installing ubuntu - i.e. it doesn't have a live GUI environemnt to work from | 01:02 |
| mib_jof61oin | so obviousy I can't get the system repair option in vista...even googled and found out how to. What do I do | 01:02 |
| anto9us | Genius314, do sudo lshw and check that the drive or at least the ATA controller is listed | 01:02 |
| maxus | yes i am here | 01:02 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: by the way, do you get anything when you do iwlist ath0 s can | 01:02 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: ath0 is up | 01:02 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: yes, I get a list with all networks | 01:02 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, yea, in most cases the ESSID and key are enough - but sometimes you have to force the AP | 01:03 |
| delineator | thanks unop, so if i have a gateway 'gaming' laptop, what would be the appropriate installation? | 01:03 |
| radovich | unop: i downloaded a game wormux from a website, because it is newer than in repos, it has a binary executable which dows not work. in a script, it sais #!bin/bash blah blah paths etc, and it works from a console when i ./script.sh, but when i doubleclick, it does not. is there a way to make a shortcut to it that works? | 01:03 |
| fliegenderfrosch | unop: so should it need anything besides essid, AP MAC and channel? | 01:03 |
| noobnoob | where do i look at all my system specs under the GUI of Ubuntu? | 01:03 |
| unop | delineator, the usual one | 01:03 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: when you done iwconfig ath0 essid "YourEssid" then iwconfig you can't see your essid here, that's your problem. can you check in which mode your ath0 is? Monitor, managed? | 01:03 |
| markdrago | Is there a way to force my machine to use the vesa driver? I'm a little lost with an empty xorg.conf. | 01:03 |
| gnutron | radovich: chmod u+x scriptname.sh | 01:04 |
| gribouille | I have speakers on one machine and I want to watch a video on another machine (connected to the former). how can I do that without unplugging the speakers ? | 01:04 |

| markdrago | I'm about to give a presentation at my lug and I need to use vesa to connect to the projector. | 01:04 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: it's enough to set ap for an open network | 01:04 |
| fliegenderfrosch | noobnoob: you could install hardinfo | 01:04 |
| anto9us | noobnoob, System | Administration | System Monitor and select System tab | 01:04 |
| Scunizi | markdrago: try installing grandr for control of xrandr | 01:04 |
| radovich | gnutron: thanx alot! i will try it | 01:04 |
| unop | radovich, are you sure the first line is #!bin/bash ?? and not #!/bin/bash ? | 01:04 |
| third3ye | onetinsoldier: Nothing that can be fixed via X? | 01:04 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: ath0 is managed | 01:04 |
| markdrago | Scunizi: thanks. I'll give that a shot. | 01:05 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, for home environments AP is hardly ever needed - just ESSID and key should suffice | 01:05 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: iwconfig sets the essid, but AP is shown not associated and channel is shown 0 | 01:05 |
| Scunizi | markdrago: xrandr is what controls the video display now.. :( & :) | 01:05 |
| markdrago | Scunizi: gotcha | 01:05 |
| fliegenderfrosch | unop: it’s not even encrypted... | 01:05 |
| jrib | markdrago: you still use xorg.conf to choose your video driver | 01:05 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: try iwconfig channel "Channel" essid "ESSID" rate auto | 01:06 |
| Genius314 | anto9us: What exactly am I looking for in the output? | 01:06 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: but it isn't necessary to do that | 01:06 |
| unop | fliegenderfrosch, this is what i have in my config file - http://pastebin.com/d5a51b10 | 01:06 |

| badawi | !linux-virtual | 01:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-virtual | 01:06 |
| markdrago | jrib: I can get it to use vesa, but it then won't go above 800x600. | 01:06 |
| gnutron | unop: #!bin/bash isn't correct. | 01:06 |
| unop | gnutron, quite right, it's not correct | 01:06 |
| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: there should be a mac filter if you can't connect even with the last command | 01:06 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-server | 01:07 |
| unop | radovich, mind if we have a look at your script - it should work by all means | 01:07 |
| radovich | script is good, just does not execute on doubleclick | 01:07 |
| Genius314 | anto9us: The only drive I see here is my SATA... | 01:07 |
| ninulkin | i need help on russian | 01:07 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: there can‘t be a mac filter, as i can connect with network-manager, it just doesn‘t work from the console. but i’ll try this command | 01:08 |
| gnutron | radovich: if its supposed to output to STDOUT, the a nautilus click isnt going to work. | 01:08 |
| unop | radovich, that's the thing - it should | 01:08 |

| unop | radovich, there's your problem - you are using incorrect paths | 01:09 |
| radovich | that's it | 01:09 |
| unop | radovich, or you aren't changing to the right directory before hand | 01:09 |
| anto9us | Genius314, you sure the ATA controller is enabled then? | 01:09 |
| radovich | but when i execute it from shell with ./ it works | 01:09 |
| Lasiv | ok, when I ssh from a computer on the lan it connects, when I ssh from outside my network it gets refused, is there any way to test and see how far the connection is getting? everything else that is open on my router works fine | 01:09 |
| nick|here | albert_fish: are you using ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| unop | radovich, but at the shell your $PWD is different to the one in which nautilus is at | 01:09 |
| unop | radovich, at the shell, what does the command pwd give you? | 01:10 |
| radovich | the same as nautilus | 01:10 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: i still get AP: Not associated with this last command | 01:10 |
| Genius314 | anto9us: It should be... I can use the CD drive, and they're running from the same connection (this mobo only has one ATA port) | 01:10 |
| unop | radovich, nautilus does not return anything :) | 01:10 |
| jill | hi | 01:10 |
| Lasiv | hrrm, ok, I telnetted it and I get a ssh reasponse, but when I try putty it refuses | 01:11 |
| radovich | unop: yep:) | 01:11 |
| unop | radovich, anyway - you need this on line 2. cd /path/to/game/ | 01:11 |
| radovich | i click, nothing happens | 01:11 |
| fliegenderfrosch | nick|here: i’ve got the feeling that this command doesn‘t really do anything, it quits instantaniously and tha wlan led doesnt blink | 01:11 |
| anto9us | Genius314, the ATA HD has been disconnected? Reconnected properly to same cable and connector? | 01:11 |

| nick|here | fliegenderfrosch: it's normal. it actually seems like to do nothing but it does. and the leds cannot be work unless you've done some special settings. by the way, why you're insisting to connect via command line | 01:12 |

See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 01:20 |
| Caduceus | hackel, ibe got a 11g wireless USB adapter | 01:20 |
| nick|here | maxus: yes | 01:20 |
| maxus | ok will try that now | 01:20 |
| istvan | yess and no, if it solves on ubuntu then probably everything isd solved... here it is | 01:20 |
| gnutron | jill: I don't think it supports it. you might try the CUPS site- http://cups.org/ | 01:20 |
| hackel | Caduceus, ah, okay, that's quite different from a flash drive. Still don't know what the "internet thing" means that you want to get... | 01:20 |
| maxus | nick|here thank you so much for trying to help i cant loose the data on the windows drive its got all my composition work :( | 01:21 |
| Caduceus | hackel, I cant connect to the internet | 01:21 |
| manzur | hey my friend i need one help, maybe it is not about ubuntu, but it is about sending bug, listen: i want to know how do you say "atrazar" in english, i know you say rewind, so how do you say "adelantar"? | 01:21 |
| === trippss is now known as maslowbeer | ||
| Caduceus | should i pop in the CD i got with the adapter? | 01:21 |
| istvan | I just built a somewhat high end rig and know that is together I cannot put any OS on it. on windows says that its a crc error system halted and something similar on ubuntu as well | 01:21 |
| hackel | Caduceus, no, unless the manufacturer randomly supplied linux drivers. Have you searched for that model to see if it's compatible with linux? | 01:22 |
| maxus | it says rescue command not found | 01:22 |
| Caduceus | Where should I check? | 01:22 |
| albert_fish | nick|here: yes im useing ubuntu | 01:22 |
| istvan | I put 4 sata hdds on it, one assigned to windows related oses and one for linuxes, but no luck with any of these | 01:22 |
| hackel | Caduceus, google | 01:22 |
| manzur | istvan: hey my friend i need one help, maybe it is not about ubuntu, but it is about sending bug, listen: i want to know how do you say "atrazar" in english, i know you say rewind, so how do you say "adelantar"? | 01:22 |
| noobnoob | will an external hd made for windows users be plug n play on ubuntu will there be a problem with xferring data? | 01:22 |
| nick|here | albert_fish: which version ? try to boot from cd and rescue broken system , then reinstall grub | 01:23 |
| LjL | manzur: don't randomly use people's nicknames. | 01:23 |
| hackel | noobnoob, I've never heard of making hard drives for a particular operating system. Should work fine. | 01:23 |
| echinos | noobnoob: should be plugnplay, ubuntu has ntfs modules afaik | 01:23 |
| tuxxy__ | hey are the forums down | 01:23 |
| anto9us | istvan, your psu is rated to support that many drives? | 01:23 |
| manzur | LjL: ok my friend | 01:23 |
| hackel | noobnoob, you'll probably want to reformat it as ext3 though. | 01:23 |
| istvan | i don't know but it can provide 950W | 01:23 |
| LoveGuru | Hi, to make linux as ssh server then i can access my box from outside. which packages i do need ? ssh-server or ssh? | 01:24 |
| wan | Hi onetinsoldier: Me again. Have DLed & am building a 2.6.20.4 kernel. When it's done, where will I find the linux-headers? | 01:24 |
| echinos | hackel: no,he wants to read the drive from ubuntu | 01:24 |
| LjL | manzur: the word you'd looking for might be "forward", but it depends on the context. | 01:24 |
| gnutron | istvan: check your BIOS hdd settings maybe. | 01:24 |
| jrib | !ssh > loveguru | 01:24 |
| ubottu | loveguru, please see my private message | 01:24 |
| anto9us | istvan, that's a lot of watts, should be ok | 01:24 |
| LjL | manzur: or "fast forward", or simply "wind". | 01:24 |
| lu6cifer | I'm compiling something, and it asks for boost/bind.hpp--is there someway I can obtain this file without installing the entire boost library? | 01:24 |
| echinos | noobnoob: plug 'er in, go to places, should be there | 01:24 |
| mdmkolbe | nick|here have you forgotten about me? | 01:24 |
| echinos | noobnoob: only catch is ntfs might be read only, not sure about that | 01:25 |
| LjL | manzur: but if you're trying to translate a the words of a program to English in a bug, i suggest you just leave them in Spanish instead. | 01:25 |
| istvan | my fan controller said that on turning on uses only 250 with QX9650, 2 9800 GX2 and 4 1TB hdd | 01:25 |
| istvan | in it | 01:25 |
| nick|here | mdmkolbe: try googling "ubuntu intrepid 3945ABG" | 01:25 |
| LjL | lu6cifer: not easily. what's the problem with installing the whole library? "sudo apt-get install libboost-dev" will get it for you | 01:25 |
| wan | I downloaded & built an older kernel as I'm after the linux-headers for that version. Now it's built, where do I find the linux-headers? | 01:26 |
| mezquitale | what e-mail client that also is able to use newsgroups would you recommend for GNOME??? | 01:26 |
| RequinB4 | istvan: are you trying to have all 4 at once? | 01:26 |
| Caduceus | hackel, i cant find anything about it. | 01:26 |
| McCallister | I'm running xubuntu and seem to have lost my panel (task bar equivalent). How can I get it back? | 01:26 |
| LoveGuru | jrib: what i have to install ? ssh-server , ssh-client or ssh ? | 01:26 |
| Caduceus | will my computer be affected if i put in the cd? | 01:26 |
| istvan | gnutron: I check, I can even partition and install os just doeasn't load. I can't believe that(or at least tqwo that i tried) have MBR issues | 01:26 |
| anto9us | echinos, noobnoob, ubuntu supports write on NTFS provided windows has shutdown cleanly and isn't hibernated | 01:26 |
| jrib | LoveGuru: did you read the link from ubottu? | 01:26 |
| echinos | wan: where'd you get the kernel? | 01:26 |
| lu6cifer | It's just that the library is really large (half a gig when uncompressed) | 01:26 |
| echinos | anto9us: thx\ | 01:27 |
| hackel | Caduceus, what kind of device is it? What is the model? | 01:27 |
| istvan | RequinB4: yes, the motherboard should be able to support 6 sata2 one | 01:27 |
| Daemonik | I'm running a ubuntu ltsp server, nbd-server won't start. http://pastebin.ca/1281237 I didn't delete any configs, it was setup with the ltsp-server-standalone package (I think). What am I missing here? | 01:27 |
| lu6cifer | I want to try and avoid downloading the entire thing | 01:27 |
| unop | McCallister, try launching the xfce4-panel from a terminal or run dialog box | 01:27 |
| MasterShihoChief | ok now i need big help | 01:27 |
| LoveGuru | jrib: alright. :) thx | 01:27 |
| maxus | nick|here couldnt rescue so im installing again onto freespace that i deleted from previous this should at least fix grub? | 01:27 |
| hackel | Caduceus, no, it won't be affected, but it only contains windows drivers. You might be able to use those with ndiswrapper if there are no open-source drivers. | 01:27 |
| MasterShihoChief | now my environment wont stop blinking | 01:27 |
| MasterShihoChief | and my desktop icons are gone | 01:27 |
| Caduceus | What do you suggest I do hackel? | 01:27 |
| nick|here | maxus: which version are you using? | 01:27 |
| Daemonik | I suppose it doesn't matter . . hm | 01:27 |
| maxus | 7.10 | 01:28 |
| wan | echinos: I struggled finding it, eventually turned up in a tarball on a us .edu server | 01:28 |
| gnutron | istvan: try booting a gparted cd | 01:28 |
| hackel | Caduceus, what kind of device is it? What is the model? | 01:28 |
| RequinB4 | istvan: i'm definitly not claiming this will do anything, but i had a problem once with my power supply on ubuntu - can you try using just sata drive (the one you're booting from) and move from there? It'll make diagnostics easier too | 01:28 |
| echinos | wan: ok, so they didn't have headers there too? | 01:28 |
| MasterShihoChief | hello? my windows are all blinking non stop | 01:28 |
| maxus | im assuming all i have to do is install then if it fixes grub error then i just need to edit my grub file again? | 01:28 |
| istvan | gnutron: i did and used it for partitioning for linux distros but nothing, grub starts and then error message kicks in | 01:28 |
| Caduceus | TRENDnet TEW-444UB is the model, hackel | 01:29 |
| keres_ | what is the chown syntax to remove ownership from a folder? | 01:29 |
| anto9us | istvan, are you trying to set up raid or lvm across these drives? you will need to put /boot on a partition by itself | 01:29 |
| echinos | wan: maybe the headers are in the tarball and you didn't see 'em? | 01:29 |
| mdmkolbe | thx nick|here the first link provided some info that helped (at least as work arounds) | 01:29 |

| lstarnes | *ownership | 01:30 |
| istvan | anto9us: no raid yet, I just wanted to start with four plain hdds | 01:30 |
| musikgoat|main | keres_: removing whose ownership? | 01:30 |
| gnutron | istvan: maybe zero the mbr with 'dd' | 01:30 |
| badawi | Yann1: xkill | 01:30 |
| istvan | gnutron: talk to me, what's that? | 01:30 |
| keres_ | i accidentally set ´sudo chown -R keres:keres /usr/´ to do some major work on a series of folders, big mistake | 01:30 |
| Yann1 | badawi: xkill on the splash don't work... | 01:30 |

| musikgoat|main | keres_: oh, thats bad | 01:31 |
| nick|here | istvan: dd -i /dev/zero -o /dev/sda | 01:31 |
| wan | echinos: the tar has a /include directory, but its a totally different structure to the linux-headers-2.6.20-17 in my usr/src | 01:31 |
| anto9us | keres_, chown user:group, you don't remove so much as change ownership and group ownership | 01:31 |
| Recursiv3 | Hello. I am trying to disable the tap to click on my Synaptics touchpad in Ubuntu 8.10. I cannot use gsynaptics because it gives me the error message "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics". | 01:31 |
| istvan | gnutron: I'm using live cd right now, can I do that through this? | 01:31 |
| badawi | Yann1: killall <processname> | 01:31 |
| keres_ | anto9us: is this the same as it was before? | 01:31 |

| matus_ | hello.. I got core2duo 2.6 processor... can I install the 64 bit version of ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| Recursiv3 | There is no tutorial that I have read yet that tells me how to get GSynaptics to work in 8.10. | 01:32 |
| MasterShihoChief | i swear its like pulling teeth to get an damn help around here | 01:32 |
| storrgie | I want to configure my hosts.allow to allow a couple things and set my deny to all, can anyone help me out | 01:32 |
| Yann1 | badawi; right, but I have no idea what the process name of the force-quit applett is.... | 01:32 |
| anto9us | keres_, before what? | 01:32 |
| fliegenderfrosch | Recursiv3: have you tried doing what it tells you to do? | 01:32 |
| keres_ | anto9us: before i changed ownership of /usr/ to my account? | 01:32 |
| RequinB4 | Yann1: iirc its just python | 01:32 |
| istvan | gnutron: this dd doesn't have the -i option. would it work without it? | 01:32 |
| badawi | Yann1: ps -eaf | grep force | 01:32 |
| scientes | can you just issue one command and then allways install -dev packages? | 01:32 |
| keres_ | anto9us: it leaves huge vulnerabilities. i´d rather get it back the way it was :S | 01:33 |
| scientes | its so annoying when building packages | 01:33 |
| hackel | Caduceus, it uses an Atheros AR5523 / AR2112 chip which should work with the madwifi driver. | 01:33 |
| LjL | DON'T RUN THE DD COMMAND GIVEN | 01:33 |
| Caduceus | What does that mean> o_O | 01:33 |
| Caduceus | And what should i do to make it work? | 01:33 |
| dk | is it a good idea to always set swap space even though you have 4gb of memory | 01:34 |
| israelito_solito | hello, can anyone tell me how I can use the S-video cable to switch to my TV? | 01:34 |
| anto9us | keres_, hopefully you've not changed recursively and can just do sudo chown root:root /usr | 01:34 |
| fliegenderfrosch | israelito_solito: xrandr should be able to do that | 01:34 |
| keres_ | anto9us: recursively? | 01:35 |
| fliegenderfrosch | israelito_solito: which ubuntu version? | 01:35 |
| kelen | Hi,i'm a beginner on ubuntu. | 01:35 |
| anto9us | keres_, with -R, don't use that now though | 01:35 |
| israelito_solito | Intrepid | 01:35 |
| Yann1 | badawi: strange, but there's no python process running expect screenlets and printer-applet | 01:35 |
| keres_ | anto9us: sudo chown -r root:root /usr/ ? | 01:35 |
| israelito_solito | 8.10 | 01:35 |
| Yann1 | badawi: grep force returns nothing | 01:35 |
| israelito_solito | Intrepid Ibex | 01:35 |
| anto9us | keres_, no, don't do that, I was checking if you had previously, that's all | 01:35 |
| fliegenderfrosch | israelito_solito: you could check if the tv shows up in the screen settings | 01:36 |
| Caduceus | Are you there hackel? | 01:36 |
| musikgoat|main | keres_: i don't know if root should own the entire /usr directory, i think there will be apps that will not work | 01:36 |
| anto9us | keres_, just do the command sudo chown root:root /usr | 01:36 |
| lorenzo | hi, is there any way I can make the volume out of my laptop louder? Often even if I crank the master up to max, volume is still to low on my ibex. Maybe it's me going deaf but I was just wondering, maybe i can get a bit extra gain and pull it up a tad. Thanks a lot everybody | 01:36 |
| MasterShihoChief | ok well i have had enough this comp is going in the pool, cheers | 01:36 |
| musikgoat|main | keres_: i'm not sure if all /usr directories are supposed to be owned by root, perusing my own | 01:36 |

| lorenzo | RequinB4, how do i do that? | 01:38 |
| anto9us | choklitrein, if this is without a hub then are you using a cross-over network cable and not a standard one? | 01:38 |
| dsch04 | I've just hit a really bizarre "thing" with GNOME Terminal | 01:38 |
| RequinB4 | lorenzo: alsamixer (in terminal) | 01:38 |

| hackel | Caduceus, sorry, madwifi doesn't support USB. You'll have to try to use ndiswrapper. Install the "ndisgtk" package from Synaptic, which will allow you to load the windows driver off of your CD, and with any luck, it will work. :) | 01:39 |
| dsch04 | It doesn't happen in any other window | 01:39 |
| l337ingDisorder | gnutron: Ok I tried putting the file path first, now the error has changed to "/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: No such file or directory" (but I know damn well that file exists as I have it open in pico in another session | 01:39 |
| l337ingDisorder | ) | 01:39 |
| anto9us | choklitrein, it won't work, the wiring on the cable has to be different, the green and orange pairs need swapping | 01:39 |
| choklitrein | anto9us: alright, thanks | 01:39 |
| jtaji | l337ingDisorder: what is the source file, and what is the destination file? | 01:39 |
| l337ingDisorder | gnutron: so if I know the file exists on the host I'm trying to grab it from, why would it say it doesn't? | 01:39 |
| dsch04 | "S" doesn't do anything, just "s" | 01:39 |
| gnutron | l337ingDisorder: give me the path to file you want to copy, or the whole dir. | 01:40 |
| Caduceus | what is the website to the "ndisgtk" thing? | 01:40 |
| lorenzo | RaquinB4, yeah the master's up, capture is 0 but I guess that has nothing to do with it right? | 01:40 |

| istvan | another thing this is more hardware related, can sata optical drive be used on the ide with appropriate sata2ide thing? | 01:40 |
| RequinB4 | lorenzo: there should be a pcm slider | 01:40 |
| hackel | Caduceus, I don't know, it doesn't matter. Just install it in Ubuntu's Add/Remove programs. More details here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 01:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | gnutron: the file I want is on root@server at /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf | 01:40 |
| RequinB4 | lorenzo: or maybe not... nevermind | 01:40 |
| dsch04 | fliegenderfrosch: Ah, you're right | 01:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | gnutron: I just need to copy that to the local filesystem | 01:40 |
| jtaji | l337ingDisorder: so you need scp root@server:/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /path/to/local/dest | 01:40 |

| gnutron | l337ingDisorder: and where do you want it | 01:41 |

| Caduceus | ok thanks hackel | 01:41 |

| noobnoob | !desktop | 01:55 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 01:55 |

| noobnoob | so i couild run kde or sfce on my existing ubuntu system? | 01:56 |
| Loganhoup | !flavors | 01:56 |
| ubottu | !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 01:56 |

| norcim122 | fliegenderfrosch another clue is that has PATH: /root/usr/bin:/root/usr/bin:/root/usr/bin:/root/usr/bin: | 02:05 |

| Asako | try glxinfo | 02:16 |
| scientes | it does it like mkdir -p -- /usr/local/share/gtk-doc/html/libvirt | 02:16 |
| scientes | and doesnt work | 02:16 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: instead try export "CCFLAGS=-g" ...there, i'm pretty certain that's how to do it. | 02:16 |
| scientes | how can i make this work | 02:16 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: and what | 02:16 |
| storrgie | gribouille: i have a FX 360m, i was thinking 370 sorry | 02:17 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: and what's the command to build the .deb package? | 02:17 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: you can see that with echo "$CCFLAGS" | 02:17 |
| gnutron | L3Tum: type reset, or try ctrl+c first | 02:17 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: i don't think the quattro cards work with the default drivers... | 02:17 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: do you have the CCFLAGS environment variable set? | 02:17 |
| froggles | i have an nVidia 8400GS, a pci card. when i watch high quality movies and dvd's there's a random, glitch like ripple accross mplayer/xine. but when i had my prior card (nvidia mx4000), that never happened. | 02:17 |
| gribouille | storrgie, what is the name of the package containing the 177 driver ? | 02:17 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: yes | 02:17 |
| storrgie | musikgoat|main: mine works fine, and 177 glx works fine on most of them | 02:17 |
| mib_b2ny13hw | Hey guys I got my boot fixed by reinstalling ubuntu | 02:17 |

| qcjn | hi gnutron | 02:18 |
| mib_b2ny13hw | now how do I uninstall ubuntu safely? | 02:18 |
| L3Tum | gnutron: what does reset or ctrl+c do? | 02:18 |

| peeps_ | http://pastebin.com/m3a9a9f39 | 02:18 |
| storrgie | quattro? | 02:18 |
| storrgie | u mean quadro? | 02:18 |
| onetinsoldier | bascule: ok. now, as root, or perhaps you can use the 'sudo' command, while in the base_dir, type in sudo debian/rules binary | 02:18 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: sorry, yeah | 02:18 |
| gnutron | L3Tum: reset, resets and clears the terminal buffer, ctrl-c aborts what might be running | 02:18 |
| storrgie | musikgoat|main: yea glx-177 supports them | 02:19 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: i'm going with you on this | 02:19 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: must have been back in the day | 02:19 |
| Scunizi | froggles: the newer nvidia 180.11 driver will probably fix that.. It fixed many of my issues.. install instructions are on the forums.. just search for 180.06 and you'll see it. | 02:19 |
| storrgie | musikgoat|main: well we could check the package information | 02:19 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: is it CCFLAGS or CFLAG? | 02:19 |
| storrgie | http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177 | 02:19 |
| musikgoat|main | storrgie: your right | 02:19 |
| storrgie | musikgoat|main: quadro fx 370 is in there | 02:20 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: hmm, been so long, perhaps it is CFLAG | 02:20 |
| qcjn | gnutron: after the screensaver, my computer stay,s in blackscreen, and i can't have access to the computer, so i have to restart | 02:20 |
| gribouille | there is no nvidia-glx-177 in hardy 64 bit ! | 02:20 |
| storrgie | hmmm | 02:20 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: yep. i think it is CFLAG] | 02:20 |
| storrgie | yes that might be a problem | 02:20 |
| musikgoat|main | gribouille: there should be, thats what i'm running | 02:20 |
| storrgie | gribouille: have you ever installed the nvidia drivers? (from nvidia) | 02:20 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: it's building with CCFLAGS, i'll try CFLAG in a minute | 02:20 |
| peeps_ | why am i getting this error? http://pastebin.com/m3a9a9f39 | 02:20 |
| gnutron | qcjn: just restart x-windows ctrl+alt+backspace i think. | 02:20 |
| gribouille | storrgie, no | 02:21 |
| storrgie | gribouille: that might be a better option for you, why are you stuck in 8.04? | 02:21 |
| qcjn | like ...right now ? | 02:21 |
| gribouille | storrgie, because it's LTS | 02:21 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: i think your right CFLAGS. CFLAGS is for the C compiler options, while i believe that CCFLAGS is for the C++ options | 02:21 |
| storrgie | gribouille: alright well... install the nvidia bin driver, if you want assistance you can message me | 02:21 |
| gribouille | musikgoat|main, are you using 64 bit hardy ? | 02:21 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: know what, i'll export all of them and try again :) | 02:21 |

| gnutron | qcjn: sure, if you have irssi in a screen, you wont drop your irc connection. | 02:22 |
| noobnoob_ | how do i join another irc server and keep these channels open on this server in xchat? | 02:22 |
| gribouille | storrgie, you mean the driver from the ubuntu repos ? | 02:22 |
| qcjn | gnutron: ok | 02:22 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: ok.. but if you are redoing, you need to run a clean command | 02:22 |
| musikgoat|main | gribouille: no, intrepid, i picked up on that late, i'll let storrgie help you :-P | 02:22 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: or remove the dir and unpack it again | 02:22 |
| storrgie | gribouille: just pm me, i cant watch this thread my eyes hurt | 02:22 |

| gnutron | noobnoob_: xchat |help | 02:24 |
| corinth | rg | 02:24 |
| gnutron | noobnoob_: xchat should do multiple servers, though i don't know the exact command. | 02:25 |
| mib_b2ny13hw | where do I type fixmbr in vista reovery mode? Do I start command line or something? | 02:25 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: if you need to clean the source for a clean compile, try sudo debuild clean | 02:25 |

| anto9us | noobnoob, ctrl+t then type /server <address> | 02:26 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: ok got the .deb file!! now to see if it has the debugging information | 02:26 |
| McCallister | Just create new tabs in xchat. | 02:26 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: roger, gl! | 02:26 |
| Bax | I want to empty a .Trash folder on a partition. I can type rm -rf * in that folder and it will delete everything in ONLY that folder, right? | 02:27 |
| mrwes | noobnoob, you can also use Ctrl + W to close a tab -- just like in Firefox | 02:27 |
| mrwes | Bax, heh | 02:27 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: didn't work :( (no debugging symbols found) | 02:27 |
| mrwes | making sure aye? | 02:27 |
| gnutron | peeps_: try mount -t vfat /media/floppy/ | 02:27 |
| anto9us | Bax, provided that folder is the PWD (present working directory) | 02:27 |
| McCallister | is there an easy way to save the open servers/channels you have in xchat so that they open next time you open the program? | 02:28 |
| Yamikuronue | I reinstalled ubuntu after it was working (long story, was trying to do something that didn't work so I ended up reformatting again) and now the desktop won't load. I'm very much unfamiliar with the command line... can anyone help me figure out how to get it back up? | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: dang... well, you can edit the Makefile and see if that works | 02:28 |
| D-MAN | anto thanks that helps allot now i can get paid ! | 02:28 |
| noobnoob_ | gnutron thx | 02:28 |
| gnutron | peeps_: or try mount -t vfat /dev/floppy /media/floppy/ | 02:28 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: we're close i'll try changing config.state in debian | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: ok | 02:28 |
| mrwes | Bax, you can type pwd at the prompt to make sure you're in the correct directory | 02:28 |
| qcjn | gnutron: it was the right command, it restarted, it unconnected xchat, thought.. But i won't know if it's working till the screensaver starts again ? or the energie saver ? | 02:29 |
| gnutron | qcjn: the screensaver probably didnt agree with the box resources or video driver, use another screensaver. | 02:30 |
| L3Tum | when browsing, like to upload pictures, is there a hotkey to view as thumbnails instead of list? I can't select multiple files in list. | 02:31 |
| anto9us | McCallister, yes, ctrl+s and edit the Network server, add favourite #channels seperated by a comma and without spaces | 02:31 |

| gribouille | storrgie, I'm not chatting on the workstation | 02:31 |
| qcjn | gnutron: i did change screensaver ! just before i asked the question i came back to the older one ! | 02:32 |
| the_dark_warrio | sometimes, when scrolling large pages, or text files, the sound interrupts for a while and than starts again. Any hints? | 02:33 |
| gribouille | storrgie, kde | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: Ur-Quan Masters is Star Control released as free open source. i used to play Star Control way back on a game console called a 3DO. | 02:34 |
| qcjn | gnutron: but if i wan,t to use another screensaver and it does the samething (comes black and can't do anything anymore) . Can i restart x? ctrl+alt+backspace ? | 02:35 |
| nbeebo | whats a simple easy good forum solution (SOFTWARE)? lol | 02:35 |
| gnutron | qcjn: yes | 02:35 |
| storrgie | ummmm in gnome there is GDM, what is it called in KDE? | 02:35 |
| onetinsoldier | kdm | 02:35 |
| qcjn | ok, | 02:35 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: ok, for debugging, uqm creates uqm-debug, but debian isn't including it in the .deb | 02:36 |
| storrgie | onetinsoldier: thnnkx., | 02:36 |
| L3Tum | ok so apparently ubuntu does not support thumbnail views when browsing files. so is there a way to select all files or select multiple files when browsing? | 02:36 |
| anto9us | the_dark_warrio, your processor isn't keeping up with the demand, look at what's eating up resources, try different apps for doing what you're doing that are less processor intensive | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: hmmm, you could use checkinstall to make the .deb. but it's more simplistic. the .deb won't contain stuff like all the dependency information and things of that nature | 02:37 |
| Static-- | is there a command to launch gnome gdm, so i can use it as a lock screen? | 02:37 |
| gnutron | L3Tum: gthumb does thumbnails | 02:37 |

| badawi | onetinsoldier: yes otherwise it's uqm | 02:39 |
| L3Tum | gnutron, BazookaAce: Is there either a hotkey or way to change from list view to thumbnail view, or a way to select multiple files from list view? I'm trying to upload some pics but there are almost 400 of them, and I can't select more than one at a time from the list view | 02:39 |

| badawi | ardchoille: it's been there for a looong time | 02:40 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: i'm thinking checkinstall wouldn't include either, but i could be wrong. you would probably need to edit some file in the debian dir, or perhaps the Makefile in base_dir, in order to get it included in the .deb | 02:40 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: if you want i can download this and start looking at it myself | 02:41 |

| Yamikuronue | hmm. Startx gives me "Fatal server error: no screens found" followed by "xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server" followed by "xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error" followed by dumping me back at the command line.

| l7 | another question: how can i start firefox with the same window position and dimensions every time? | 02:44 |
| schnauzer | Static--, ohh, in that case, i think you can use "switch user" for that, if that's the result you want | 02:44 |
| gnutron | Static--: that doesn't make sense to me ! | 02:44 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: ahh, i see. the game is hard, but i have beaten it without cheat. but i have to save a lot and restart from my saves. ;-) | 02:45 |
| fushorts | l7 that should save automagically | 02:45 |
| froggles | Scunizi: is it 180.11 driver or 180.06 ? | 02:45 |
| froggles | you mentioned both | 02:45 |
| schnauzer | Static--, System > Log out [username] > Switch User | 02:45 |
| gnutron | l7: i think system - prefs - sessions you toggle save session settings. | 02:46 |
| froggles | Scunizi: you were talking about the nvidia driver. | 02:46 |
| l7 | hmm, it seems when terminal is occupying the top left corner, firefox will not open in the top left corner as well | 02:46 |
| schnauzer | Your programs will remain, but you will get your login screen instead of a lock screen | 02:46 |

| fushorts | l7, i know if you have advanced desktop settings it is possible for the most part | 02:47 |
| mdmkolbe | Is it (intrepid-backports) ports from older versions to intrepid or ports from newer versions to intrepid? | 02:47 |
| qcjn | schnauzer: will the program still continue, like the music continue playing ? | 02:47 |
| storrgie | how do i install/update my linux headers?!?!?!?! | 02:47 |
| fushorts | l7, you can get that from add/remove programs if you dont have it already | 02:47 |
| anto9us | mdmkolbe, newer versions | 02:48 |
| ardchoille | mdmkolbe: my understanding is that backports are apps from newer versions of Ubuntu | 02:48 |
| l7 | gnutron: hmm, system - prefs - sessions doesn't quite work as it doesn't save window positions but thanks anyhow | 02:48 |

| Bitfish | Yamikuronue, in what? | 02:53 |
| peleg | I type mplayer -really-quiet /home/peleg/.voicemem/voice.wav 2>&1 > /dev/null --- it plays well enough, but still I recieve two error messages ("mplayer: could not connect to socket" and "mplayer: No such file or directory | 02:53 |

| Yamikuronue | [21:28] <Yamikuronue> I reinstalled ubuntu after it was working (long story, was trying to do something that didn't work so I ended up reformatting again) and now the desktop won't load. I'm very much unfamiliar with the command line... can anyone help me figure out how to get it back up? | 02:53 |
| l7 | fushorts: you mean make sure there's a check mark next to all the third party software repos? | 02:53 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: ok, copy. i was going to ask if you wanted to try something. i made the Makefile work for x86_64 for an old program call 'xsnow'. it would need to be edited again to make it work for 32-bit tho | 02:53 |
| SergeantPony | I updated from 7.10 to 8.10 and for some reason it won't boot using kernel 2.6.27-10-generic, it will booot using 2.6.24-22-generic. Any specific reason why? | 02:53 |
| peleg | what's happening? how come mplayer does not shut up? | 02:54 |
| [TiZ] | Desktop won't load? Please elaborate more. | 02:54 |
| Bitfish | Yamikuronue, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 02:54 |
| Yamikuronue | the... gnome or whatever. The GUI. I'm just staring at a command prompt and I've never (before today) used a unix/linux command prompt, though google has been helping me learn. | 02:54 |
| schnauzer | Yamikuronue: "startx" | 02:55 |
| fushorts | l7, on mine it is just a selection on the top that says All available applications | 02:55 |
| Yamikuronue | I tried that. It claims to be running gnome and restarts fine but I'm still at a prompt | 02:55 |
| badawi | onetinsoldier: what do you need? i think xsnow is already there in the repo | 02:55 |
| Yamikuronue | Startx gives me "Fatal server error: no screens found" followed by "xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server" followed by "xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error" followed by dumping me back at the command line. | 02:55 |

| schnauzer | qcjn: thats odd, im not sure what caused thatr | 02:55 |
| [TiZ] | No, that's sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm. It needs a hyphen | 02:55 |
| l7 | fushorts: http://phubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/19/advanced-desktop-effects-settings/ seems to suggest the package is compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:56 |
| Bitfish | ShaunWing, well, lemme see | 02:56 |
| l7 | fushorts: is that the package you're referring to? | 02:56 |
| gnutron | ShaunWing: sudo apt-get install putty | 02:56 |
| Bitfish | ShaunWing, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/putty | 02:56 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: oh, it might be in ubuntu. i'm using regular debian here. it's not in available in debian. but i just got downloading ubuntu 8.10 a bit ago because i thought i'd install it to see what it's all about. | 02:56 |

| [TiZ] | Yamikuronue, another thing you could do is sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 02:57 |
| ShaunWing | tx | 02:57 |
| RequinB4 | [TiZ]: that command does next to nothing in hardy + | 02:57 |
| qcjn | schnauzer: well i did it with the red close button (upper right) disconnect ! | 02:57 |
| Yamikuronue | yeesh, I found the update command and it's apparently got a lot of updates. I'll try both those in one minute when it finishes. | 02:57 |

| badawi | onetinsoldier: it's debian testing with a re renamed firefox and morbid emphasis on sudo | 02:58 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: i'll have three linux installs. debian lenny, debian sid, and ubuntu, lol. and then winxp pro to boot.. lol. i can hardly keep up witjh them all. anyway, i'm off to install. gl with uqm! | 02:58 |
| fattmoley | Can anyone tell me how to start the NVIDIA X Server Settings program with root privileges? Also how do I restart the X Server? | 02:58 |
| anto9us | ohcrapitsgone, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default to whatever line number windows would appear at in that list | 02:59 |
| qcjn | schnauzer: the upper bar right of the time | 02:59 |
| daemonicum | fattmoley xserver restart is ctrl alt backspace | 02:59 |
| fushorts | l7, after it is installed on mine it turns to the compiz name however in the Add/Remove programs list it was the advanced desktop settings name | 02:59 |
| [TiZ] | daemonicium, you can either hide all volumes from the desktop, or show all volumes from the desktop. Nothing in between. | 02:59 |
| onetinsoldier | badawi: a morbid emphasis eh? hehe | 02:59 |
| gnutron | fattmoley: i think its sudo nvidia-settings in a terminal | 02:59 |

| onetinsoldier | badawi: what happens if you don't use sudo? | 02:59 |
| l7 | fushorts: which version of ubuntu do you have by the way? | 02:59 |
| badawi | !sudo | 02:59 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 02:59 |

| anto9us | daemonicum, I think there's a tweak in gconf-editor for that somewhere | 03:01 |
| daemonicum | via diskutil you should get it done | 03:02 |
| [TiZ] | daemonicum, you can either hide all volumes from the desktop, or show all volumes from the desktop. Nothing in between. | 03:02 |
| asrael | ShaunWing why would you need putty? | 03:02 |

| Yamikuronue | sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm says "changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended". I've also noticed my screen is blinking oddly from time to time. | 03:03 |
| [TiZ] | daemonicum, okay. So hit Alt+f2, type gconf-editor, and hit enter. Go to apps -> nautilus, and change show_volumes to false. Done. | 03:04 |

| woden_ | What is the digital photo program for Ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| lifeistoenjoy | mk | 03:32 |
| Xcerca | woden_ for editing ? | 03:32 |
| slayerboyWRK | woden_: there are many, GIMP can be used, you can try Picasa, you can try F-spot | 03:32 |
| tritium | woden_: you need to be more specific | 03:32 |
| McCallister | woden_, great question. There is a photo viewer, but not an importer. Does Picasa have a linux client? | 03:32 |
| gnutron | Yamikuronue: so its a fresh install? | 03:32 |
| tritium | (There are several, that do various things) | 03:32 |
| slayerboyWRK | McCallister: yes | 03:32 |
| woden_ | Xcerca: No, when I plug in my camera it asks me which program I want to open but the list is empty it says "No applications found". | 03:33 |
| Yamikuronue | gnutron: yeah. | 03:33 |
| woden_ | tritium: Did you read my previous comment above? | 03:33 |
| gnutron | Yamikuronue: I'd consider re-installing | 03:33 |
| Xcerca | woden_ you can just open the file location in the file browser nautilus, i would check the forum | 03:33 |
| tritium | woden_: no, I'm giving you some general guidance | 03:33 |
| ThePlastikJesus | is there a way to do a disk cleanup in ubuntu like you would do in windows? | 03:34 |

| Chrisie | woden_: ahh, well I'm still on uBuntu Hardy. But at least here it's the "Removable Drives and Media Preferences" dialogue you want from the System->Preferences menu. My Digital camera import is set to: gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h | 03:34 |

| kreg__ | hi, is this a good idea to use ext4 filesystem in nowdays ubuntu 8.04 ? I want speed, data realibility etc | 03:35 |
| acydlord | welcome | 03:36 |
| woden_ | Chrisie: I don't have "Removable Drives and Media Preferences" | 03:36 |
| rob227 | acydlord: can you spare a little help? | 03:36 |
| izinucs | kreg__, ext4 is not available for Ubuntu yet.. | 03:36 |
| woden_ | Does F-Spot come by default in Ubuntu 8.10? | 03:36 |
| slayerboyWRK | woden_: because you are using a different version of Ubuntu, you have the latest | 03:36 |
| izinucs | woden_, yes | 03:36 |
| acydlord | i'm pretty rusty with my also knowledge | 03:37 |
| rob227 | spare any help (or change if you like southpark?) | 03:37 |
| izinucs | I also don't know much | 03:37 |
| woden_ | Sounds like I should install F-Spot then, since it is supposed to come with Ubuntu 8.10 by default? | 03:37 |
| asdfg | southpark is alright | 03:37 |
| rob227 | oh well thought id ask | 03:37 |
| asdfg | getting a bit tired though | 03:37 |
| slayerboyWRK | woden_: it should be installed already | 03:37 |
| rob227 | soundcard problems are killing me | 03:37 |
| asdfg | what's the issue? | 03:38 |
| slayerboyWRK | woden_: check your applications menu | 03:38 |
| woden_ | alright | 03:38 |
| rob227 | left speaker won't work | 03:38 |
| slayerboyWRK | rob227: laptop or desktop? | 03:38 |
| rob227 | desktop | 03:38 |
| McCallister | rob227, at least you get sound from your left speaker. I get no sound. | 03:38 |
| dnyy | Can I install XP after Ubuntu to daulboot, or does Windows need to be first? | 03:38 |
| izinucs | dnyy, to eliminate headaches.. install win first | 03:39 |
| tyebud | Is it possible to rename a joystick in the system | 03:39 |
| slayerboyWRK | dnyy: windows should be first | 03:39 |
| rob227 | what version of ubuntu you running? | 03:39 |
| tyebud | 8.04 | 03:39 |
| Yamikuronue | dnyy: I tried that earlier. Hence my having to reformat. Windows XP doesn't like non-NTFS disks I think was my problem. | 03:39 |
| outlaw1 | does anyone have experience with ''kino'' for merging mpg files together. i have used ''mpgtx'' and mencoder and ''cat'' with no success ? | 03:39 |
| deefzi | if someone is familiar with RAID-1 with installing ubuntu, a helping hand would be appreciated here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6339667 | 03:39 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: FAT32 should be fine for WinXP | 03:39 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboy: I also might have a bad disk. It kept bluescreening with an error about losing control of the boot partition | 03:40 |
| rob227 | i've decided that my sound card has AIDS in Ubuntu | 03:40 |
| tritium | rob227: please, have some tact | 03:40 |
| Yamikuronue | it did that over vista too, though, originally | 03:40 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: yeah from the sounds, there's something funky going on with your HDD | 03:40 |
| rob227 | sorry just joking | 03:40 |
| bruenig | rob227: AIDS or super AIDS? | 03:40 |
| georgy_28 | outlaw1, : kino can't do that, work only with DV or avi files. Use Kdenlive | 03:40 |
| rob227 | trying to lighten the problem | 03:41 |

| Yamikuronue | slayerboyWRK: I meant my install disk >.> the laptop's brand new, I've just been trying to liberate it from vista | 03:41 |
| rob227 | haha | 03:41 |
| izinucs | outlaw1, also try LiVeS! you'll find it at www.getdeb.net | 03:41 |
| Yamikuronue | ah, sorry | 03:41 |
| gnutron | rob227: right click your volume icon choose preferences, does it list your card? | 03:41 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: try Ultimate Boot Disk and run some tests, then write zeros to the drive 2-3 times, it takes a long time but it cured a problem I had with an old hard drive | 03:41 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: ah gotcha | 03:42 |
| rob227 | its the ICEnsembler silly. Which is set for -c1 | 03:42 |
| tyebud | How would I copy the results of cat /proc/bus/input/devices into a nano instance via the command line? | 03:42 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: are you trying to install 64bit or 32bit Ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| rob227 | -c0 is set to HDA Intel | 03:42 |
| kristian_ | where can i change the resolution in ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| outlaw1 | izinucs: thank you i'll give it a try now . thanks ! | 03:42 |
| Yamikuronue | gnutron: while I'm reformatting, is there any reason why I should change the partition setup instead of just telling it to reformat the partition I installed to? | 03:42 |
| gnutron | rob227: right click your volume icon choose preferences, select audigy | 03:42 |
| izinucs | tyebud, you want it in a txt file? just add ... > <filename> .... at the end of the line | 03:43 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboyWRK: whichever is the normal one ;P my brain's a bit hosed right now | 03:43 |
| rob227 | i would think it should also be set to ICEnsemble but i don't know how to do it. I think i am getting devices confused with channels. I'm a noob | 03:43 |
| gnutron | Yamikuronue: you have windows on it? | 03:43 |
| Yamikuronue | gnutron: nope, not right now. I failed miserably with windows so just wiped it all and put ubuntu on it | 03:43 |
| === et3_ is now known as hipp6 | ||

| izinucs | tyebud, yep | 03:44 |
| gnutron | rob227: does dmesg detect it | 03:44 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboyWRK: yeah. | 03:44 |
| tyebud | izinucs: God I hope this works | 03:44 |
| tyebud | izinucs: Thank you for your help | 03:45 |
| izinucs | tyebud, did it work? | 03:45 |
| rkvirani_ | I love my netbook | 03:45 |
| amikrop | Is the helvetica font included in Ubuntu, without the installation of msttcorefonts? | 03:45 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: what kind of laptop is it? wondering if there's an issue with the integrated video card? | 03:45 |
| tyebud | izinucs: one sec | 03:45 |
| rkvirani_ | so rad with ubuntu netbook remix | 03:45 |
| izinucs | amikrop, probably something similar but not by that name | 03:45 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboyWRK: thinkpad T500. Thinkwiki tells me it ought to work but I have no idea what I'm doing with a command prompt so... got any ideas before I reformat it? | 03:45 |
| gnutron | tyebud: cat /proc/bus/input/devices > some-filename should work | 03:46 |
| thyarrizka | assalamualaikum | 03:46 |
| rob227 | gnutron: not sure what dmesg is. Can you elaborate | 03:46 |
| amikrop | izinucs: ok, thx | 03:46 |
| izinucs | gnutron, kinda like I said :) | 03:46 |
| rkvirani_ | gnutron: CLICK ON THE TERMINAL ICON | 03:46 |
| gnutron | rob227: in a terminal type dmesg |less see if it detects the card | 03:46 |
| rkvirani_ | then type dmesg | 03:46 |
| rkvirani_ | (sorry ops for caps | 03:46 |
| dnyy | Err, internet disconnected. Did anyone answer my question? :x | 03:46 |
| rob227 | ok | 03:46 |
| Yamikuronue | dnyy: To save yourself a headache, windows should come first | 03:47 |
| tritium | To save yourself a headache, windows should not come at all | 03:47 |
| eseven73 | lol | 03:47 |
| dnyy | haha | 03:47 |
| Yamikuronue | lol | 03:47 |
| tyebud | izinucs: No it didn't work. grrr | 03:47 |
| dnyy | If it wasn't for Photoshop CS3 it wouldn't. :'( | 03:47 |
| tyebud | izinucs: i'm going to try something else | 03:48 |
| izinucs | tyebud, what's the cat line your using again? | 03:48 |
| Yamikuronue | tritium: to be fair, I've never had tie winXP desktop fail to come up and dump me at a command prompt like this on a fresh install ;P | 03:48 |
| L3Tum | I installed vista after ubuntu with no problems | 03:48 |
| rkvirani_ | silly vista | 03:48 |
| Baba_B00ie | why don't you replace photoshop cs3 with gimp and other related tools | 03:48 |
| dnyy | L3Tum I read something about windows deleting GRUB or something :/ | 03:48 |
| yeryry | vista uses grub itself.. | 03:48 |
| Baba_B00ie | i don't see how cs3 is so amazing | 03:48 |
| tritium | Yamikuronue: nor have I. But, then again, I don't use windows... | 03:49 |
| tyebud | izinucs: cat /proc/bus/input/devices the text file output worked, but I couldn't copy and paste between nano instances | 03:49 |
| gnutron | windows overwrites the mbr which totally whacks grub | 03:49 |
| dnyy | Baba_B00ie: Deadlines and not having the time (currently) to learn to use Gimp to it's potential. :/ | 03:49 |
| mezquitale | anyone knows how to change the look and feel so it looks like redmond | 03:49 |
| L3Tum | It didn't delete mine, I just used gParted to create a second partition after ubuntu, then installed vista on that | 03:49 |
| === noobnoob_ is now known as noobnoob | ||
| Yamikuronue | tritium: this laptop is my first adventure with linux, I got sick to death of vista and winXP refused to install over it. | 03:49 |
| Yamikuronue | and ubuntu is ncie and pretty and I want to play with it... if only it'd work | 03:49 |
| Yamikuronue | anyway, reformat ho I suppose | 03:49 |
| mezquitale | !look and feel | 03:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about look and feel | 03:49 |
| Baba_B00ie | gimp is frickin' amazing. but i'm no pro at it.. it does way to much than i need.. lol | 03:49 |
| izinucs | tyebud, can you open it in gedit? | 03:50 |
| dnyy | L3Tum: maybe vista got better, who knows. i'm gonna have to go with xp, though. | 03:50 |
| a-l-p-h-a | Instead of VNC, is there a way to remote desktop to a single machine? where by, it's headless, like microsoft terminal server, but for ubuntu/xorg? And allow multiple users to connect to the same machine? | 03:50 |
| tyebud | izinucs: I don't have a windows environment. It's command line only | 03:50 |
| izinucs | tyebud, hang on let me try here. | 03:50 |
| gnutron | I gotta go | 03:51 |
| surfjdh | someone I need help | 03:51 |
| MindVirus | Hi. My gnome-terminal's a bit screwered. When I type a line too long the line disappears seems to move back like 70 characters. | 03:51 |
| tyebud | izinucs: The problem I'm having is that the name I want to copy has special symbols in it. | 03:51 |
| surfjdh | I have a /etc/fstab problem | 03:51 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: when you installed ubuntu, beforehand, did you change your graphics in the BIOS? | 03:51 |
| L3Tum | dnyy: Yeah, I don't know about xp. If it weren't for games, I wouldn't have windows at all | 03:51 |
| MindVirus | The cursor shifts 70 characters left and the line itself goes up a line and back 70 characters, because when I press home, the cursor ends up on the line above. | 03:51 |
| rob227 | gnutron: Not sure if it was detected or not using that method here is the pastebin http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/83306/ | 03:51 |
| tyebud | izinucs: Otherwise I would just type it in myself | 03:51 |
| surfjdh | anyone wanna help | 03:51 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboyWRK: I didn't touch the bios | 03:51 |
| surfjdh | ? | 03:51 |
| surfjdh | I need someone to tell me how to get my sd card to not be read-only | 03:52 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: check the "Before Installation" part http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid_Ibex)_on_a_Thinkpad_T500 | 03:52 |
| izinucs | tyebud, I just did it.. highlight what you want to copy and then go the next instance of nano and middle click .. if you don't have a middle click then the right and left mouse buttons at the same time. | 03:52 |
| tyebud | izinucs: I don't have a gnome, or kde though. I don't even have a mouse :) | 03:52 |
| surfjdh | so anyone wanna help? | 03:52 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: man /etc/fstab | 03:52 |
| surfjdh | ... | 03:52 |
| surfjdh | ok thats not really helpful | 03:53 |
| rkvirani_ | you have to add 'ro' to your /etc/fstab under the options for the sdcard | 03:53 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: uhh learn how to read | 03:53 |
| surfjdh | that makes it READONLY | 03:53 |
| izinucs | tyebud, that was my next thing.. if you don't have a mouse then someone will have to you what the shortcut keys are for middle click .. if there is one. | 03:53 |
| surfjdh | durr | 03:53 |
| surfjdh | i need it to remain rw | 03:53 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: surfjdh didnt you just say you want it read-only | 03:53 |
| surfjdh | or rwx | 03:53 |
| rkvirani_ | 'remain\ | 03:53 |

| surfjdh | 10:52:08 PM) surfjdh: I need someone to tell me how to get my sd card to not be read-only | 03:53 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: hahaaa lmao | 03:54 |
| surfjdh | to not be read-only | 03:54 |
| izinucs | tyebud, you must like the command line only.. or maybe you're just a massochist | 03:54 |
| rkvirani_ | check the write protect tab on the card | 03:54 |
| surfjdh | nope | 03:54 |
| surfjdh | doesn't even have one | 03:54 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboy: great, now you tell me. I bet that's why I have to use the alternate install disk too. When it reboots post-reformat I'll edit the settings | 03:54 |
| rkvirani_ | hrm... what file system is it? | 03:54 |
| surfjdh | I ripped that bitch off i was soo mad | 03:54 |
| tritium | surfjdh: please see above about !enter | 03:54 |

| tyebud | izinucs: LoL. It's an htpc. Barebones boxee install. | 03:54 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: well if you ripped it off then... | 03:54 |
| surfjdh | its for my cell phone | 03:54 |
| surfjdh | it was ro before i ripped it off | 03:54 |
| slayerboyWRK | Yamikuronue: yeah I just found that page :P | 03:54 |
| izinucs | tyebud, what are you doing with it? | 03:55 |
| tyebud | izinucs: Eventually I won't even have a keyboard :) | 03:55 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: then its the filesystem | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | my card reader doesnt ever have the lock mechanism | 03:55 |
| rkvirani_ | did you try formatting it? | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | gparted cant see it | 03:55 |
| Yamikuronue | slayerboyWRK: heh, I feel stupid because I've been staring at it for a while. I skimmed until I read "should work out of the box" and went all "grr" lol | 03:55 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: the card has it | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | but it mounts anyways | 03:55 |
| rkvirani_ | not the card reader | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | wtf is that | 03:55 |
| izinucs | tyebud, got a usb port on it? got a spare mouse? | 03:55 |
| rkvirani_ | gparted cant see it | 03:55 |
| rkvirani_ | I think its corrupt | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | nope | 03:55 |
| izinucs | !language | surfjdh | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | did fsck | 03:55 |
| ubottu | surfjdh: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:55 |
| surfjdh | its fine | 03:55 |
| tyebud | izinucs: I do. But no windows environment | 03:56 |
| rkvirani_ | and it you dont know what a filesystem is then you need to read about computers in general | 03:56 |
| tyebud | izinucs: Mouse wouldn't do any good :) | 03:56 |
| rkvirani_ | fsck eh | 03:56 |
| izinucs | tyebud, doesn't matter.. I don't think you need the gui for the mouse to do it's thing.. worth a try? | 03:56 |
| rkvirani_ | hrm... did it report anything | 03:56 |
| surfjdh | one messed up block | 03:56 |
| rkvirani_ | try running bad-blocks agains the file | 03:56 |
| surfjdh | it fixed it | 03:56 |
| Baba_B00ie | whats a CLI web browser besides lynx ? that's worth a looksy ? | 03:56 |
| surfjdh | the problem lies in a cryptic output from dmesg | 03:57 |
| eseven73 | links2, w3m | 03:57 |
| izinucs | tyebud, that is just for the middle clicks.. obviously it won't move a cursor or anything :-) | 03:57 |
| qcjn | i'm back | 03:57 |
| rkvirani_ | err I think you can set a flag in fdisk | 03:57 |
| rkvirani_ | possibly | 03:57 |
| tritium | surfjdh: you've been told about !enter. Please try it ;) | 03:57 |
| surfjdh | it looks something like this | 03:57 |
| rkvirani_ | what does the filesystem report as in fdisk | 03:57 |

| rkvirani_ | and it looks like your file system is screwed up based on the line you sent me | 03:58 |
| L3Tum | surfjdh: Don't keep pressing enter, with only a few words on each line. Type what you have to say, then hit enter. When you keep pressing enter after each word its called flooding and it gets annoying | 03:58 |
| rkvirani_ | looks like the geometry is messed up | 03:58 |
| qcjn | schnauzer: and see what it does ? | 03:58 |
| tritium | surfjdh: you really need to pay attention to what you've been told/asked | 03:58 |
| surfjdh | I know, it probably is, but I cant reformat it because gparted cant SEE IT | 03:58 |
| rkvirani_ | back the card up and re-parition and then reformat it | 03:59 |
| mastastealth | hey guys, I just threw in a 6800 into a PC running 8.10. I thought since the last card was a Geforce 2 all I needed to do was uninstall and reinstall the nv drivers from 96 to 177. after some fiddling it seems this whole thing has gone out of whack. wireless stopped working, and mouse wont move. am using nv drivers to get X start, can someone help? | 03:59 |
| surfjdh | you hear meGPARTED CANT SEE IT | 03:59 |
| rkvirani_ | surfjdh: why are you GPARTED | 03:59 |

| onetinsoldier | hi. i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10. the cdrom bootas but i get I/O read read errors after what appears to be the end of loading up the installer. as if the kernel is having problems with my sata dvd drive. np with a debian lenny installer in this area. anyone think they can help? | 04:14 |
| izinucs | tyebud, done.. funny the site has a "join" button but it doesn't go anywhere but back to the main page. | 04:16 |
| nickrud_ | onetinsoldier, first, obvious questions: did you check the burn? there's an option on the cd boot menu | 04:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !paste > surfjdh | 04:17 |
| tyebud | izinucs: yeah, they aren't handing invites out right now | 04:17 |

| YellowGTOL | Hello all | 04:18 |
| leofwine | hello | 04:18 |
| tyebud | izinucs: no prob. thanks for the time | 04:18 |
| YellowGTOL | Linux is killin me today :-( | 04:18 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: yes. it goes through that and then the same thing. i''m presented with pages full of message about end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1431680. if there is an actual disaply about the integrity if the cdrom, i couldn't see it | 04:18 |
| McCallister | I have a problem with sound. In the Volume Control options my device is #0: Audigy 1 (Unknown). | 04:19 |
| qcjn | schnauzer: when i look at P.P.S whit Open Office it is super slow ? is it my material , or it does that to everybody ? | 04:20 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: just a while ago another fellow was in here with the same problem. so i know i'm not alone. just an fyi. | 04:20 |
| YellowGTOL | So I have tried everything to install this damn flash player on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit | 04:20 |
| nickrud_ | onetinsoldier, yeah, the burn has to be good enough to get the burn check to run ;) . I'd check the md5sum of the downloaded iso, then burn again, at lowest speed possible. And I've heard some have problems if they've burned the iso to a dvd. Sorta 'out there' info, no links or first hand exp. | 04:20 |
| YellowGTOL | And I can not get this workin for the life of me | 04:20 |
| izinucs | tyebud, it was fun.. | 04:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YellowGTOL That is one of the reasons we try to guide newer users away from 64 bit | 04:20 |
| YellowGTOL | :-( | 04:20 |
| YellowGTOL | It was supposed to be a duel boot system | 04:20 |
| YellowGTOL | But the partitioner had an error | 04:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > YellowGTOL | 04:21 |
| ubottu | YellowGTOL, please see my private message | 04:21 |
| YellowGTOL | And killed everything on the PC lol | 04:21 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: ok, roger. i used 12x speed. i'll try a lower speed and the run md5sum of the iso if i can find it. | 04:21 |
| n8tuser2 | YellowGTOL--> you can dual boot with 32bit ubuntu perhaps? | 04:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YellowGTOL sounds like you didnt defrag your windows partition before resizing | 04:21 |
| YellowGTOL | Its to late now. It already killed my older partitions | 04:21 |
| nickrud_ | onetinsoldier, md5sum /path/to/ubuntu-*.iso ;) | 04:21 |
| CyBurnett | is it safe to remove/uninstall trackerd from Ubuntu 8.04 | 04:22 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: btw, i'm using a cdrom. thanks for your replies and help | 04:22 |
| nickrud_ | CyBurnett, yes | 04:22 |
| YellowGTOL | So what your saying is I should put 32bit Ubuntu on here? | 04:22 |
| n8tuser2 | yes | 04:22 |
| CyBurnett | So if i sudo apt-get remove trackerd is ok? | 04:22 |
| nickrud_ | CyBurnett, yes. You'll also probably lose ubuntu-desktop, but that's only a meta package (list of packages to install upon first installation). You'll want it back when you upgrade to 9.* | 04:23 |
| eseven73 | CyBurnett: that or you could just disable the trackerd service | 04:23 |
| sigp239 | Any idea why it is that when I plug in my digital camera I get two boxes that pop up? | 04:24 |
| mcquaid | i'm following a guide for vncserver on startup and it says to run rc.update.d | 04:24 |
| mcquaid | which hardy doesn't have | 04:24 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: ok, ran the md5sum. so now i need to find out if that value is correct. | 04:24 |
| mcquaid | what's the equiv? | 04:24 |
| sigp239 | Any idea why, when I right-click on the camera volume on the desktop, I see 2 entries for gthumb? | 04:24 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, probably two partitions on that camera's storage | 04:24 |
| n8tuser2 | mcquaid--> update-rc.d | 04:24 |
| sigp239 | nickrud_: How do I check that? | 04:24 |
| mcquaid | thx | 04:25 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, sudo fdisk -l will list all partitions on all media | 04:25 |
| * mcquaid smacks puts palm to forehead picard style | 04:25 | |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, attached media of course | 04:25 |
| CyBurnett | Well, I went into the add/remove program and selected tracer then it said that it would also remove some other stuff, I rebooted and all is ok, Thanks! :-) | 04:25 |
| sigp239 | nickrud_: here is the camera /dev/sdc1 * 1 985 2047746+ 6 FAT16 | 04:25 |
| nickrud_ | onetinsoldier, releases.ubuntu.com/8.10 has a file with the md5sums | 04:26 |
| tim__ | hey i am having trouble with my sound. any one can help? | 04:26 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, then I'm not sure why you're getting two windows. Do they both show the same content? | 04:26 |

| etzerd | Anacranon: what you mean by spell the nick? | 04:31 |
| tim__ | i am having trouble with oss and am getting no sound at all. I have tried some old tricks, but nothing has helped. can anyone help me? | 04:32 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239 two partitions, could be. But that's still a bug, if nautilus opens two windows but both have the same content | 04:32 |
| roger_ | it access disk faster than microcrap | 04:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | steerpike if it is a new install it might be tracker, reading the drive | 04:32 |
| sigp239 | nickrud_: When I remove the 2GB card, it still just shows /dev/sdc1 | 04:32 |
| steerpike | i've had it running for a week now | 04:33 |

| nickrud_ | sigp239, does it still open two windows? | 04:33 |
| McCallister | My sound problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83316/ | 04:33 |
| sigp239 | nickrud_: No | 04:33 |
| steerpike | you're all useless | 04:34 |
| sigp239 | nickrud_: I think it may be creating 2 /media/ mount points? | 04:35 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: the md5sum of the .iso checks out, it's exactly what it should be. i guess my only option is try a slower burn and then try again. thanks again for the help | 04:35 |
| tim__ | McCallister: same problem | 04:35 |
| roger_ | steerpike wtf is up | 04:35 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, then somehow, somewhere something is not right. I'm not the programmer for it, so I'm in no position to troubleshoot it. If you file a bug, explain what you see and offer to provide any requested information ... | 04:35 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, if it was creating 2 /media mount points, you'd see two on the desktop | 04:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roger_ Please dont swear even in shorthand | 04:35 |
| tim__ | McCallister: what engine are you running? oss, ALSA or pulse? | 04:35 |
| roger_ | oh shut up you | 04:35 |
| bazhang | roger_, please stop. | 04:36 |
| nickrud_ | onetinsoldier, that's THE most common cause of those types of errors I've seen | 04:36 |
| roger_ | you quiet to | 04:36 |
| Flannel | roger_: We have simple channel rules and only ask that you respect them | 04:36 |

| nickrud_ | gribouille, looking at it, it's much better than before ;) | 04:41 |
| tim__ | robs227 have you tried fiddling with the controls? | 04:41 |
| sigp239 | How do I set eog to be the default image viewer instead of gimp? | 04:41 |

| nickrud_ | sigp239, right click an image of the type you want to change, select properties and Open with in the dialog box | 04:41 |
| powertoo108 | robs227: I found a post with no sound on left speaker, they said if they adjust the PCM level it works until reboot, could be a temp fix | 04:42 |
| nickrud_ | sigp239, image viewer is eog | 04:42 |
| gribouille | nickrud_, I get some sound, but it is extremely low | 04:42 |
| tim__ | robs227 yeah, sorry i probably wont be able to help. try the #alsa channel | 04:42 |
| powertoo108 | robs227: they also said it was fixed in 8.10 amd64 with the 2.6.27-7-generic kernel | 04:42 |
| robs227 | like i said pulseaudio volume meter registers the left speaker works fine! Because it thinks the sub IS the left speakers. Thanks TIm! | 04:42 |

| exmachina | he used to get an Acer bootup logo | 04:49 |
| nickrud_ | akahige1, right click menu bar, select add to panel, and add the user switcher | 04:49 |
| exmachina | now he can't even go into the BIOS | 04:49 |
| SarahAu | the acer bootup thing is part of the monitor isnt it? | 04:49 |

| powertoo108 | noobnoob: I know... where do you think I got my nick? :) | 05:00 |
| Marfi | exmachina, just like you would hit the power. if they are savvy enough, have them take the cmos battery out (round battery the size of the quarter on the mother board) and make sure there is nothing plugged into it | 05:00 |
| Marfi | exmachina, this basically resets the settings and whatnot, and may get it back up and running | 05:00 |
| noobnoob | irc.2600.net | 05:00 |
| exmachina | Marfi does he hit the power button repeatedly or does he hold it down? | 05:00 |
| Marfi | exmachina, just push it once | 05:00 |
| exmachina | pushing it once doesn't work | 05:00 |
| Marfi | exmachina, make sure the power cable from the back is unplugged | 05:01 |
| joeb3_ | noobnoob, CtrlT to open a new server tab. /server whatever | 05:01 |
| exmachina | it doesn't even turn off when he holds down the power button | 05:01 |
| exmachina | the power cable from the back is plugged | 05:01 |
| exmachina | Marfi, he's on a laptop | 05:01 |
| Marfi | exmachina, ohhhh, i thought it was a desktop | 05:01 |
| exmachina | I told him to unplug the battery | 05:02 |
| Marfi | exmachina, have him unplug the battery and the power cable, let it sit for about a half hour. then i would tell him to plug it back in and try again | 05:02 |

| Marfi | alex_21 gotcha. sorry i couldn't help more. wish i was more up to date on the standards for ubuntu with that. the college i go to has a few deaf students who i help from time to time | 05:18 |
| powertoo108 | bryanbuchanan: possibly | 05:18 |
| eseven73 | yep did that but didnt reboot yet n8tuser2 , not sure if a reboot is even needed | 05:18 |
| Singer2 | quick question, I just got a quad core Pheon with 8GB of RAM.. I'm planning used it for a desktop/development/testing box... should I go for the desktop or server image? | 05:18 |
| Singer2 | consider the RAM? | 05:19 |
| Chrysalis | stupid question but how do i jump to next search result in vim, forgot lol | 05:19 |
| Marfi | alex_21, ****blind. school has a deaf population also =) | 05:19 |
| joeb3_ | Chrysalis, / | 05:19 |
| n8tuser2 | eseven73--> how did you disable acpid ? | 05:19 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: If you're using it for a desktop/dev/testing box, as in like a normal computer, 8GB is entirely overkill :P | 05:19 |
| Chrysalis | joeb3_, jump no next '/' searches | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: But Personally, I went with the normal kernel, 32bit, and just enabled PAE | 05:20 |
| Singer2 | dmsuperman: not really, if I loadup 2-3 instaces of MySQL for work with replciation.. it acutally uses a lot of the RAM | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: Here's a guide to enabling PAE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5347489 | 05:20 |
| eseven73 | oh that was in ubuntu n8tuser2 | 05:20 |
| jtaji | Singer2: if you need a desktop then use the desktop image, no need for server kernel if that's what you're thinking | 05:20 |
| eseven73 | n8tuser2: it was in some settings thing cant recall now which one it was | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: 1: Something is seriously wrong then, MySQL never uses that much memory by default | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: 2: Why run more than one instance? | 05:21 |
| eseven73 | n8tuser2: i think it was under Administration>Services | 05:21 |
| n8tuser2 | eseven73--> if you have used /etc/init.d/acpid stop then no need to reboot | 05:21 |
| Singer2 | jtaji: okay.. so the desktop image will support 8GB of RAM? | 05:21 |
| ardchoille | Is it possible to have aliases for textboxes? Like type in myemailaddy and have that expand to me@foo.com in any app? | 05:21 |
| eseven73 | oh nice, ok ty n8tuser2 :) | 05:21 |
| jtaji | Singer2: 64bit will | 05:21 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: No, it won't which is why you'd need PAE or 64 bit | 05:21 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: That guide I sent you is to enable PAE | 05:21 |
| Singer2 | dmsuperman: I'm working with NDB and also replication | 05:21 |
| dmsuperman | I personally don't want to deal with 64 bit, but to each his own | 05:22 |
| Singer2 | cool, downloading now | 05:22 |
| Singer2 | NDB = memory hog.. as all yoru indexes have to be in RAM | 05:22 |
| dmsuperman | ardchoille: I've personally been looking for a good solution to that. I guess "snippits" is alright, but I couldn't get it to work for me | 05:22 |
| Veinor | Is it possible to control fan speed on a HP Pavilion dv9235nr? | 05:22 |

| alex_21 | Veinor: Yes, download HPs Linux drivers for the fan you want to control. It is an RPM or something though. There is a guide on the Ubuntu Help/wiki pages | 05:24 |
| bdelin88 | i love how brasero converts to that format yet, it is not a native to linux like .iso... | 05:24 |

| dmsuperman | BlearyBram: I couldn't even get it to run with my nvidia drivers | 05:33 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: yea i know man but u sent me to a guide, i mean... isn't there something in the repos? | 05:33 |
| alex_21 | Ubi installs 7.04 and greater. It was official in 8.04 | 05:33 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i'm just in a tight spot and i need this thing to get mounted | 05:33 |
| BlearyBram | bdelin88: calm down first | 05:33 |
| jrgp | bdelin88, what do you need to get mounted? | 05:33 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: If you don't want to follow the instructions then there's not much we can do for you | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | jrgp: He wants to mount a .bin/.cu | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | .cue* | 05:34 |
| bdelin88 | jrgp: ok... brasero made a .bin/.cue of a cd i want to get mounted | 05:34 |
| jrgp | ah | 05:34 |
| jrgp | there's a way of doing that | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | Yeah | 05:34 |
| bdelin88 | jrgp: i know windows has gui programs for this and i am trying to find a quick solution to mount this | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | !iso | 05:34 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:34 |
| jrgp | from the command line | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | Convert to .iso | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | And then mount the iso | 05:34 |
| jrgp | indeed | 05:34 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i am eager to learn :) | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | mount -t iso9660 -o loop path/to/iso /media/mountpoint | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | Something like that | 05:34 |
| bdelin88 | where do i put the path to the .bin/.cue? | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Gotta convert to .iso | 05:36 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: yes, but in order to do that i need the path to the .bin/.cue and then make a path to .iso that i want, right? | 05:36 |
| ardchoille | dmsuperman: sbippits doesn't seem to be what I need. | 05:36 |
| ardchoille | dmsuperman: But, thanks for letting me know about it :) | 05:36 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: bdelin88 Something like that | 05:36 |
| dmsuperman | ardchoille: Are you sure? | 05:36 |
| eseven73 | i dont see how snippets is any easier than emacs macros :/ | 05:37 |
| jrgp | eseven73, use nano | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | maybe im missing something | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | ardchoille: Do you want to basically type ";me" and have it expand to "blah@me.com | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | i do jrgp :) | 05:37 |
| bdelin88 | ... | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | eseven73: emacs macros are emacs only | 05:37 |
| ardchoille | dmsuperman: ye | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | ardchoille: I'm fairly sure it does that | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | ardchoille: With just a bit of finessing | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | dmsuperman: do you have to have compiz? | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | eseven73: Er, of course not | 05:38 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: mount -t iso9660 -o loop path/to/iso /media/mountpoint (i see the path to the iso output file i want, but where do i put the path to .bin/.cue file?) | 05:38 |
| jrgp | it's just extra special effects | 05:38 |
| jrgp | not necessary | 05:38 |
| eseven73 | ah | 05:38 |
| jrgp | but they do look really cool | 05:38 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: You have to convert the .bin/.cue to a .iso like I said | 05:38 |
| ardchoille | dmsuperman: so this ruby script is a daemon and is present at all times without me having to start it each time? | 05:38 |
| jrgp | :3 | 05:38 |
| dmsuperman | jrgp: It's a lot more than that but yeah not necessary | 05:38 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i have gmount so mounting the iso is no problem, i am trying to find out how to convert it to an iso | 05:38 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Right, so read this guide: | 05:39 |
| dmsuperman | !iso | 05:39 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:39 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: bchunk fails miserablyh | 05:39 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i did, the link is broken to the solution i need | 05:39 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: bin2iso | 05:39 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Have you tried googling for bin2iso | 05:39 |
| Singer2 | OMG | 05:40 |
| Singer2 | they stroke | 05:40 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: yes i am trying.. wow i never thought i would have this much trouble with this | 05:40 |
| dmsuperman | Singer2: Hrm? | 05:40 |
| Singer2 | sorry | 05:40 |
| android60 | how long can sata cables be before being problematic? | 05:40 |
| Singer2 | wrong windows.. | 05:40 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: I know it doesn't help now, but in the future a good standard format .iso is always the best thing to rip to | 05:40 |
| alex_21 | Hi, small laptops ther, and I would wonder what the price is. They are ultimately the best for my small school lab project | 05:40 |
| jrgp | android60, forever? | 05:40 |
| dmsuperman | android60: The maximum length is 3 feet afaik | 05:40 |
| Singer2 | android60: depending on quality.. but no more then .9m | 05:41 |
| android60 | so a 3ft cable should be good to go? | 05:41 |
| Singer2 | dmsuperman: the public transit in my major city is ons trike | 05:41 |
| Singer2 | android60: why so long? | 05:41 |
| android60 | i need to be able to run it from the back of the comp to external devices | 05:41 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: that is the problem though man... | 05:41 |
| android60 | just for temporary quick things | 05:42 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: brasero comes with ubuntu and doesn't give you that option! | 05:42 |
| dmsuperman | android60: You want an eSATA cable/port | 05:42 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: it doesn't make any sense you know? | 05:42 |
| Singer2 | have you thought of an esata port/cable? | 05:42 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: I've never had it not give me the option for iso | 05:42 |
| android60 | ya i have the port but i just wanted to see length of the cable | 05:42 |
| android60 | first | 05:42 |
| bdelin88 | it only gave me 3 options for formats | 05:42 |
| dmsuperman | android60: But yeah I'm fairly certain 3ft is the max length for sata, lemme double check for you | 05:42 |
| android60 | ok | 05:42 |
| calc | android60: eSATA cables are apparently good up to 2m | 05:42 |
| dmsuperman | android60: 1m maximum length | 05:43 |
| android60 | ok thanks for the info guys i appreciate it | 05:43 |
| dmsuperman | calc: Really? Last I used them eSATA had the same max as internal | 05:43 |
| calc | android60: but yes regular SATA Is only 1m | 05:43 |
| android60 | ya | 05:43 |
| calc | dmsuperman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA <- if that is accurate anyway | 05:43 |
| * BlearyBram noticed something different: when he ran the LiveCD, the display is fine. | 05:44 | |
| bdelin88 | my god i do not have time to do all this conversion, there must be an easier way | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | Oh yeah it appears to be correct, 2m eSATA 1m SATA | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: This time you waste not running it is time that could be saved if you just started the process | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: It doesn't take that logn to convert a .bin to a .iso | 05:45 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: What happens with bchunk? | 05:45 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i have no idea which one to download and the website lacks a quick explanation: http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/#download | 05:45 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: well bchunk worked fine until it decided to split the entire .iso into 15 different parts | 05:46 |

| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i am not sure if i need CDEmenu client or gCDEmu | 05:46 |

| dmsuperman | bdelin88: What arguments did you pass to bchunk? | 05:47 |
| dmsuperman | DigitalFiz: Disconnect it, power down, power up, reconnect it? | 05:47 |
| DigitalFiz | ahhhh! | 05:47 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: one sec | 05:47 |
| DigitalFiz | i just got like 500 diologs about fspot and opening the ipod drive | 05:47 |

| DigitalFiz | its an ipod touch it doesnt have disk use mode | 05:48 |

| dmsuperman | bdelin88: It appears that it thinks it's an audio CD | 05:52 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: It creates .cdr files when it's an audio CD | 05:52 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: it is an audio cd, but it is supposed to just convert it to .iso | 05:52 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: all i want is .iso, how do i tell it to do that? | 05:52 |
| alex_21 | Ok, thanks. | 05:52 |

| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Do you want to play them back? | 05:53 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Or does it _have_ to be in .iso | 05:53 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: If you just want to play them back, "sox file.cdr new.wav" converts them to normal audio files | 05:54 |

| rdw200169 | l7: you use both, but you have to trick the EFI (mac BIOS replacement) into loading the linux boot camp part, but still allow you to load mac | 06:02 |
| l7 | rdw200169: do the macs with ATI cards not work so well? | 06:02 |
| lxnb | thanks guys! | 06:02 |
| dmsuperman | lxnb: Personally I would never go with 64bit, it's usually full of issues | 06:02 |
| mespejel | Here is my problem: I am using ubuntu with vmware in a macbook. The thing is that there is no video card support for linux using vmware.. my mistake was to open a supertux game.. it freeze. since my main OS is leopard.. i cannot just shutdown the computer with force.. i actually need to shut down it normally. and i cant do it.. cause it is freeze.. everytime i try to log in that happens. | 06:02 |
| mespejel | it just satay like that | 06:03 |
| rdw200169 | l7: it's the ati drivers, they're worse than NVIDIA, but they still work | 06:03 |
| calc | dmsuperman: what issues are those, i'm running it here fine | 06:03 |
| calc | of course i also did the initial porting in debian 5 years ago | 06:03 |
| dmsuperman | calc: Compatibility problems, not everything works easy like it does 32bit | 06:03 |
| LogicalDash | mespejel: type alt+f2 and then xkill | 06:03 |
| LogicalDash | mespejel: then click on the vmware window | 06:03 |
| dmsuperman | calc: Flash has only recently gotten better 64bit support | 06:04 |
| calc | dmsuperman: you still haven't actually said what though | 06:04 |
| LogicalDash | mespejel: it should quietly close | 06:04 |
| calc | dmsuperman: flash worked fine with 32bit on 64bit as well | 06:04 |
| calc | dmsuperman: well as well as flash ever works | 06:04 |
| crawlthewarriork | can anyone explain how come when I use apt-get or add/remove software it downloads really slow but when I use firefox my dl speeds are pretty fast? Is there a config I need to fix? | 06:04 |

| calc | dmsuperman: its constantly crashing on my wife's windows (32bit) machine as well | 06:04 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: any ideas on that output? | 06:04 |
| dmsuperman | Virtual Machines too | 06:04 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Yeah I'm not sure | 06:04 |
| zedu | i dont get audio in flash videos since i upgraded to 8.10 | 06:04 |
| l7 | rdw200169: ah well that's good to know. i suppose the intel drivers are probably the best aren't they? in terms of being open source rather than nvidia's binary blobs? | 06:04 |
| calc | dmsuperman: vmware works fine on amd64 and has for a long time | 06:04 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: If you can get the CD back I'd just rip it to .iso, if not I have no idea | 06:04 |
| LogicalDash | mespejel: unless you mean that the virtual machine is running inside of OSX? in that case you'd have to use OSX's way of killing hung processes | 06:05 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: it says i need the .cue, but can i tell it to just make it an .iso, according to that output? | 06:05 |
| mespejel | LogicalDash: i will try that | 06:05 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Worst case scenario you could try getting poweriso for linux and mount / convert it like that | 06:05 |

| alexserver | hi, I need personal assistance to compile a module within a kernel, I dont know how to do that | 06:06 |
| dmsuperman | calc: I dislike vmware, so vbox for me, and that's had issues | 06:06 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: grr...command lind | 06:06 |
| l7 | mespejel: actually there's a choice of several VM appliances for OSX: vmware, parallels and virtualbox... and also qemu | 06:06 |
| rdw200169 | l7: i followed some excellent tutorials on installing ubuntu on a mac, they won't steer you wrong | 06:06 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: command line* | 06:06 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: You mean "yay command line" | 06:06 |
| l7 | mespejel: and some smaller ones too | 06:06 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: lol, yea...... no, not right now actually | 06:07 |
| calc | dmsuperman: ah, i've tried various other vm's and had issues with them even on 32bit so just stuck with vmware | 06:07 |
| LogicalDash | l7: I thought that qemu == virtualbox? | 06:07 |
| l7 | rdw200169: yeah i'm a bit on the fence about whether to try ubuntu on a newer macbook | 06:07 |
| alexserver | may anyone help me to compile a module within a kernel | 06:07 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i plan on learning that over break, but now is not the time | 06:07 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: That should be able to do it, checking the quick help it appears it can directly convert it to a .iso | 06:07 |
| dmsuperman | calc: Funnily it's the same for me but vbox | 06:07 |
| calc | l7: buy a thinkpad X200 instead :) | 06:07 |
| l7 | rdw200169: how was your experience with ubuntu as far as dual booting osx and ubuntu vs running ubuntu in a VM? | 06:07 |
| dmsuperman | calc: vmware can never do shared folders or audio correctly, at the very least | 06:07 |
| Daemonik | Is there a way to get machines booted from a ubuntu ltsp server to automount the cdrom drive on /cdrom? I would install ltspfs but I'm using this thin-client to connect to an NX server.

| dmsuperman | calc: Plus seamless mode is pretty sexy :P | 06:08 |
| rdw200169 | l7: using rEFIt, it's been a piece of cake | 06:08 |
| l7 | LogicalDash: virtualbox is based on qemu but i think it's a bit more robust | 06:08 |
| dmsuperman | But, I have to go to bed | 06:08 |
| rdw200169 | l7: refit gives me a boot menu, giving me the options of mac or ubuntu, right when i turn it on | 06:08 |
| dmsuperman | Gnight all | 06:08 |
| calc | dmsuperman: hmm i should take a look at vbox then i might have missed it when looking at stuff before | 06:08 |
| alexserver | may anyone help me to compile a module within a kernel | 06:08 |
| bdelin88 | dmsuperman: i have poweriso on my desktop, how in the world do i run this thing... or install it? | 06:08 |

| LogicalDash | mespejel: Well, in VirtualBox there's an option to discard the saved state when the machine is suspended. Does VMWare have something like that? | 06:09 |
| dmsuperman | bdelin88: Yeah, it's an executable | 06:09 |

| rmendoza | hello | 06:41 |
| Severian | jtaji, The problem left is to configure gdm properly, I believe. Instructions on how to setup Gnome on Ubuntu Server or JeOS would probably tell me what is left to do. | 06:41 |
| rmendoza | hello i am new here | 06:41 |
| jtaji | Severian: on ubuntu server installing ubuntu-desktop will work.. your issue is specific to JeOS or your virtualization setup | 06:41 |
| alexserver | calc: could you tell mw who can help me? or where do i have to go so i can solve this unfortunate problem ? | 06:41 |
| calc | alexserver: file a bug report in launchpad? | 06:42 |
| jtaji | Severian: and I'm not at all familiar with JeOS except knowing it's stripped down, including the kernel | 06:42 |
| alexserver | calc: I also have a report regarding ths isue | 06:42 |
| alexserver | calc: but no one hav answered, I suppose because it's a new complain | 06:43 |
| actionfigure | video problem | 06:43 |
| alex_21 | Synchronos: I have no idea about your windows. Blind appologetic smiley. Sorry | 06:43 |
| alexserver | calc: I suppose i need to have patience so hopefully this issue could be solved in next relase | 06:44 |

| renjith | Hi All | 06:46 |
| === DekRNR is now known as jingjing | ||
| Zeroedout | are those package names? | 06:46 |
| renjith | is this possible to get default DNS address while the SetIp option is set? | 06:47 |
| alexserver | calc: thanks for your assistance, you have been so usefull my friend | 06:47 |
| darius12 | would you like recent eclipse packaged for ubuntu? would you be willing to help? | 06:47 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, me? | 06:48 |
| Zeroedout | yes | 06:48 |
| actionfigure | yes | 06:48 |
| actionfigure | those are the names | 06:48 |
| Zeroedout | did you try apt-get install package? | 06:48 |
| actionfigure | no i use the synaptic | 06:48 |
| Zeroedout | and what happened when you tried to install it? | 06:49 |
| actionfigure | i tried installling the i810 but then x doesnt work at all | 06:49 |
| actionfigure | i mean it igonres it i think | 06:49 |
| Zeroedout | did you change the driver in xorg.conf? | 06:49 |
| actionfigure | when i change the driver to i810 in the conf file..thats why it wont startx | 06:49 |
| alex_21 | Good night. Bani bash | 06:49 |
| calc | alexserver: you might want to bring it up on the kernel bug tracker also | 06:50 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, i noticed that i740 was also installed..i uninstalled it since i didnt think i needed it | 06:50 |
| Zeroedout | what error does /var/log/Xorg.0.log give you? | 06:50 |
| actionfigure | let me check | 06:50 |
| calc | alexserver: if they look at it and fix it then it won't matter if the ubuntu people do or not | 06:50 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, i dont know where to start | 06:52 |
| Zeroedout | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 06:52 |
| alexserver | calc: ok, do you know where can i report a kernel bug ? | 06:52 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, i did..i mean for errors | 06:52 |
| calc | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ | 06:53 |
| Zeroedout | what are the last few lines in the log saying? | 06:53 |
| calc | alexserver: it seems they like people to just report about mainline kernels so they might not want the bug without you trying an unpatched kernel first | 06:53 |
| zod21 | whats up fellas!!? | 06:54 |
| Zeroedout | if you need to copy paste, do it to the ubuntu paste | 06:54 |
| shbika | rdw200169:thank you for your response. my Skype is now working with pulse without a problem | 06:54 |
| Everett | Can anyone point me to a resource for assistance with building intltool from trunk? | 06:54 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, just the mouse info | 06:54 |
| Zeroedout | ......yet X doesn't sart? | 06:54 |
| rdw200169 | shbika: oh, cool, sorry i didn't reply quicker, i got sidetracked | 06:54 |
| Everett | Just need to know if there are any options needed for the autogen.sh command | 06:54 |
| iank_ | hi | 06:54 |
| rdw200169 | shbika: padsp also works on realplayer | 06:54 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, x starts....blender looks garbled and crashes...all 3d progs do that | 06:54 |
| iank_ | how are you | 06:55 |
| Zeroedout | anything in dmesg about i810? | 06:55 |
| alexserver | calc: what is an unpatched kernel ? is that a compiled kernel ? compiled from scratch ? | 06:55 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, ill paste it..... | 06:55 |
| shbika | rdw200169:ok I will install realplayer and give it a try | 06:55 |
| calc | alexserver: compiled from scratch downloaded from kernel.org | 06:56 |
| calc | i'm headed to bed i'm at UDS and have the UbuFlu | 06:56 |
| bdelin88 | is there anyone out there that can help me with converting .bin/.cue to iso... this is miserable and complicated and nothing seems to work | 06:56 |
| bdelin88 | even poweriso for some reason | 06:57 |
| calc | bdelin88: you can burn them with nero linux iirc | 06:57 |
| bdelin88 | bchunk put it into a bunch of cdr files | 06:57 |
| bdelin88 | calc: haven't tried | 06:57 |
| calc | bdelin88: bchuck claims to convert | 06:57 |
| calc | bchunk - CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr | 06:57 |
| Architect | Hello Ubuntu community! | 06:57 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, http://paste.ubuntu.com/83369/ | 06:57 |
| calc | cue2toc - converts CUE files to cdrdao's TOC format | 06:57 |
| calc | cuetools - tools for manipulating CUE/TOC files | 06:57 |
| bdelin88 | calc: it's an audio cd and it puts it into cdr, i don't know how to tell it .iso | 06:57 |
| alexserver | calc: hahahaha, wow, this sounds as a challenge for a newbie like me !! I haven't compiled yet a kernel | 06:58 |
| Architect | Does anybody have a solution to my computer displaying a grey screen and doing absolutely nothing upon attempted installation of Ubuntu? | 06:58 |
| calc | oh for an audio cd the cue2toc might work, not really sure | 06:58 |
| calc | bdelin88: .iso isn't audio format though so you don't want that afaik | 06:58 |
| calc | iso refers to iso9660 | 06:58 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: hrmm, when blender crashes, does it give you an error? | 06:59 |
| actionfigure | no | 06:59 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | Architect: do u have ati drivers ? | 06:59 |
| Architect | Aye. | 06:59 |
| calc | ok now i'm off to bed | 06:59 |
| Zeroedout | not even a segfault? | 06:59 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | i was having that problem | 06:59 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | let me tell u | 06:59 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | pain in the ass to get it working | 06:59 |
| actionfigure | i open it usning the menu..let me try the terminal | 06:59 |
| histo | bdelin88, k3b should do it and a host of other burning applications | 06:59 |
| bdelin88 | calc: mounting it is what i want | 07:00 |
| transporter | i would appreciate if somebody could help me with bluetooth file transfers | 07:00 |
| bdelin88 | histo: i just found k3b and it seems to do it | 07:00 |
| bdelin88 | histo: i wonder why it does not support iso | 07:00 |
| Zeroedout | k3b does support iso | 07:00 |
| bdelin88 | histo: it says "Writing Mode: Auto, DAO, TAO, TOC"? | 07:00 |
| histo | bdelin88, bchunk will do it also | 07:00 |
| histo | bdelin88, Disk at once, track at once, etc... | 07:01 |
| bdelin88 | histo: bchunk is terrible in my experience, it converted it to a crapload of .cdr files instead of an iso | 07:01 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, Compiled with Python version 2.5.2. Checking for installed Python... got it! Segmentation fault | 07:01 |
| bdelin88 | histo: which one is .iso? | 07:01 |
| transporter | i would appreciate if somebody could help me with bluetooth file transfers | 07:01 |
| bdelin88 | histo: or nm i see what you are saying, but how do i tell it .sio | 07:01 |
| histo | bdelin88, wlel you have to bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso | 07:01 |
| Architect | DJ_HaMsTa: What did you do to fix it? | 07:01 |
| bdelin88 | histo: .iso* | 07:01 |
| bdelin88 | histo: i did | 07:01 |
| histo | bdelin88, hrm.. well in k3b you should be able to export as iso or sometihgn. | 07:01 |
| Zeroedout | bdelin88: lol, not very helpful, you did remove the old driver and modrpobe i810 right? | 07:02 |
| alexserver | calc: thanks | 07:02 |
| transporter | i would appreciate if somebody could help me with bluetooth file transfers | 07:02 |
| ardchoille | !repeat | transporter | 07:02 |
| ubottu | transporter: 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 | 07:02 |
| bdelin88 | Zeroedout: that is just computer gibberish to me lol, i have no idea | 07:02 |
| dnyy | What would be the system requirements to run XP in a virtual machine? | 07:03 |
| Melik | can i remove qt 4? | 07:03 |
| Zeroedout | modprobe -r <old driver> modprobe i810 (both as root) | 07:03 |
| powertool08 | dnyy: I've done it on my amd athlon xp 2800+ with 1 gb ram and it does ok most of the time | 07:03 |
| Zeroedout | but if you rebooted the pc after installing the driver through synaptic then it wont make a difference | 07:04 |
| bdelin88 | histo: i am in "burn cd image" and it says i can burn an image to an image... but i can't select to burn to an .iso any ideas? | 07:04 |
| dnyy | powertool08: err, I've only got 512MB. I'm startin' to think I'm stuck using CS2 in wine. | 07:04 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, heres my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/83374/ | 07:04 |
| bdelin88 | i do not have time for all this crap, why is this so difficult on linux :( | 07:04 |
| bdelin88 | windows -> poweriso, done | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | so no talking ai/personality type apps (like jarvis in ironman) | 07:05 |
| powertool08 | dnyy: cs2? as in photoshop? GIMP is a pretty good photoshop replacement | 07:05 |
| bdelin88 | linux -> poweriso -> file unsupported, even though it is listed as supported | 07:05 |
| dnyy | powertool08: Well I'm doing freelance work, and don't have the time (at the moment at least) to try and learn new software. But I can't install Windows due to broken CD drive. :/ | 07:05 |
| Zeroedout | bdelin88: it could be a problem with the driver, but maybe you don't have the correct one installed | 07:05 |
| powertool08 | dnyy: It does pretty much everything anyone except top professionals would use, just moved some things around with slightly different terminology on stuff | 07:06 |
| Zeroedout | what is your videocards chipset? you may be able to check with lspci | 07:06 |
| grendal_prime | thats to bad i had a huge project i have to work on and if i had a computer like jarvis (the one in ironman) i would sure get it done faster. | 07:06 |
| bdelin88 | Zeroedout: what driver, it's a cdrw drive? | 07:06 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, you got my message? :) | 07:06 |
| Zeroedout | yea, lol, was talking to actionfigure | 07:06 |
| powertool08 | dnyy: its pretty similar imo so its not hard to pick up if you already have a good grip on photoshop | 07:06 |
| dnyy | powertool08: Well I'll look into it in my free time. I've got another computer to use PS on atm, so no rush. | 07:06 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, intel | 07:07 |
| powertool08 | dnyy: also, if you run the most minimal host system possible and dedicate more to the virtual machine it will help | 07:07 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 04) | 07:07 |
| dnyy | powertool08: The dashed line around the image you're editing always confuses me, makes me think I have the whole image selected. :( | 07:07 |
| Architect | Is there anyone else here who knows how to install even with ATI drivers? | 07:08 |
| grendal_prime | my oldes son does albulm cover art with gimp. He was showing me tonight all these crazy brushes and gradiants he found on the internet. | 07:08 |
| dnyy | Is there an app for converting photoshop brushes to gimp brushes? | 07:08 |
| grendal_prime | he had to walk way from the machine because he said he would be up all night if he kept at it. hehehe. | 07:08 |
| almark | Hello what can I do to get my sound setup properly in Ubuntu 8.10 I did a sound test at the command line, Due to Ubuntu having no alsaconf and I know why it doesn't, I just need to know what to do get my card to work with it. | 07:09 |
| grendal_prime | dnyy: i think they are the same. | 07:09 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, i do see a i810 when i lsmod | 07:09 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: hrmm, it looks lke you're definatly using the right driver....... you did restart your system or atleast modprobe the new driver right? | 07:09 |
| dnyy | grendal_prime: ah, well looks like i'll be playing with gimp tomorrow. hopefully it'll live up to my hopes. :p | 07:10 |
| whynot | When I enjoy music with ubuntu alsa, some process affects alsa and the music used to stop and play. How can I prevent other process from affecting alsa? | 07:10 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: that's why pulseaudio was created... | 07:10 |
| whynot | pulseaudio? | 07:10 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, i didnt have to modprobe since its using the right driver | 07:10 |
| rdw200169 | !pulseaudio > whynot | 07:10 |
| ubottu | whynot, please see my private message | 07:10 |
| almark | When I go to the login screen I can hear the drum sound, and the sound test with the static from a term. | 07:11 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, but then i install the old i810 driver...i change the driver to i810 in xorg and then it wont start x | 07:11 |
| grendal_prime | My understanding is that some stuff there is more of, simply because they are opensource and alot of people are contributing. | 07:11 |
| almark | But that is the only way I can hear sound I have a Audigy Se SB | 07:11 |
| grendal_prime | dnyy: sorry that was for you. | 07:11 |
| grendal_prime | im going to bed. | 07:11 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, are you good at checking these kinda things? if so..i dont mind you sshing my box | 07:12 |
| grendal_prime | was a long ass day night folks | 07:12 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: i don't think there's much i can do. it seems to be a problem with the driver, does glxinfo give you an error as well? | 07:13 |
| Everett | Running h804, is there a howto on upgrading gnome and / or Orca to 2.24.x? | 07:13 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, http://paste.ubuntu.com/83375/ | 07:14 |
| ikonia | Everett: you can't upgrade gnome outside of official ubuntu packages | 07:14 |
| almark | Am I not asking the right questions? | 07:14 |
| sparr | linux says my NIC MAC address is invalid, likely due to a known issue with it being read backwards. Due to this I get assigned a random MAC and an incremented ethXX device number every time I reboot. Is there some way to avoid that? | 07:14 |
| ikonia | Everett: (technically you can but everything would break) | 07:14 |
| ikonia | sparr: get a card thats supported ? | 07:15 |
| Everett | ikonia: should I be able to upgrade to i810 using apt-get dist-upgrade? | 07:15 |
| vladtsepesh1984 | i have a problem....i'm able to sync contact from evolution to ppc with evo2sync msynctool's plugin but i can't sync contact or any other things from ppc to evol....can somebody help me???? | 07:15 |
| sparr | ikonia: its built into my motherboard, and it worked fine for years. up until about gutsy | 07:15 |
| ikonia | Everett i810 is not gnome, thats an Xorg driver | 07:15 |
| ikonia | Everett: and i810 is installed by default, so there is nothing to upgrade to | 07:16 |
| ikonia | sparr: check the bug report on the card, push it forward if it's been broken for that long | 07:16 |
| Everett | ikonia: here is my situation. 1. I'm blind 2. I installed hardy 804 using accessible install (which is broken in intrepid). 3. I need to do some testing with Orca 2.24.x | 07:16 |
| almark | How do I setup sound without alsaconf? | 07:16 |
| visof | how can i change the screen resolution in ubuntu , my graphics card is nvidia Geforce | 07:16 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: so driver seems to be okay, does glxgears crash? | 07:16 |
| Everett | ikonia: Orca 2.22.x is what comes in hardy | 07:16 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, no but it looks garbled | 07:16 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: it might be worthwhile to file a bug report with launchpad | 07:17 |
| ikonia | Everett: well, I don't know about oraca details, but the best thing I can suggest is to log a bug requesting a package update be put into hardy | 07:17 |
| ikonia | Everett: that would be the most sensible thing to not break anything and get eh package you want | 07:17 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, why do xorg.confg look so small in ubuntu. ...in other distros its huge.... | 07:17 |
| Everett | ikonia: is it worth trying to install orca 2.24 from the intrepid repo? | 07:18 |
| rww | Everett: no, that's a Bad Idea | 07:18 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: lol, when i upgraded to intrepid it fucked my xorg.conf, but i restored it to an earlier one, it might have to do with the graphical crash thing | 07:18 |
| Everett | rww: bad like certainly won't work, or might cause problems? Been struggling with trying to get orca 2.24 on any distro all week. | 07:18 |
| rww | !ohmy | Zeroedout | 07:18 |
| ubottu | Zeroedout: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:18 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, http://paste.ubuntu.com/83376/ | 07:19 |
| ardchoille | Everett: I would log a bug report. Given that this is a special circumstance (accessibility) it might go through. | 07:19 |
| Winnipeger | Hi... I want to setup aa fully encrypted triple boot system, fedora 10, Ubuntu Ibex, and Debian Lenny. Setting up just one is easy. But can it be done with three? | 07:19 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, thats my entire xorg.conf file | 07:19 |
| rww | Everett: it's very likely to cause problems | 07:19 |
| rww | Everett: Intrepid does have 2.24, though, so you could upgrade to it if you don't mind the effort... | 07:19 |
| jtaji | actionfigure: the latest xorg configures itself quite effectively, xorg.conf is not necessary in most situations anymore | 07:19 |
| rdw200169 | Winnipeger: you mean, where they all share the same encrypted home directory? | 07:19 |
| Everett | rww: ok, thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty sure bugs on this have already been logged. At least on the broken accessible install. | 07:20 |
| Winnipeger | rdw200169: Yup. | 07:20 |
| actionfigure | jtaji, im having major problems running blender or wings3d..... | 07:20 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: lol, since nothing else is working, try using a more generic xorg.conf and see what happens | 07:20 |
| ardchoille | Everett: even if bugs have been logged, there's power in numbers :) | 07:20 |
| ikonia | Everett: apologiese I lost connection for a moment, only use packages designed for your current release | 07:20 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, where can i get that from? | 07:20 |
| rdw200169 | Winnipeger: i imagine it would be pretty easy b/w lenny and ubuntu, but i don't know about fedora | 07:20 |
| Everett | I don't suppose there's a vbox image of intrepid out there somewhere? | 07:20 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, what if i downgrade to 8.04 | 07:20 |
| Winnipeger | rdw200169: But if that is too complicated, I would be willing to have a separate data partition that they share and separate homes | 07:20 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, is it interpid thats causing this problem/ | 07:21 |
| rdw200169 | Winnipeger: that would be best, it's the standard to have a separate partition for one shared /home | 07:21 |
| actionfigure | jtaji, so far interpid is not working well with my box.... | 07:21 |
| rdw200169 | Everett: why not just install intrepid, thus having an image, in vbox? | 07:22 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: if you've got time to kill, go for it. but if you like, i can pastebin my xorg.conf and you can try that............. | 07:22 |
| warriorforgod | What would cause a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to not work on hardy? | 07:22 |
| rdw200169 | Everett: you can tell vbox to use the .iso of the install image for a 'cd-rom' | 07:22 |
| ikonia | warriorforgod: define not work | 07:22 |
| Everett | rdw: I would love too, but accessible install is broken in intrepid. | 07:22 |
| Winnipeger | Ok... so then I essentially create three encrypted systems using each installer, create an encrypted data partition once using the first installer. That sounds simplest? | 07:22 |
| warriorforgod | ikonia: It says no packages to upgrade | 07:22 |
| ikonia | Everett: as I said, request a package update (log a bug for it explaining your reasons) | 07:23 |
| rdw200169 | Everett: what do you mean, the kernel doesn't work? | 07:23 |
| ikonia | warriorforgod: then your up to date | 07:23 |
| warriorforgod | Wouldn't intrepid be up to date? | 07:23 |
| Everett | rdw: I'm blind and need to use Orca for install. I guess it's time to breakdown and try the long and tricky workaround for intrepid with fingers crossed. | 07:23 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | warriorforgod | 07:23 |
| ubottu | warriorforgod: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:23 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, but how will ubuntu know your xorg if its using different driver names and such | 07:23 |
| Winnipeger | Does Ibex allow the creation of a fully encrypted system that doesn't use all available disk space? I'd need to reserve 14 GB for the other two | 07:23 |
| rdw200169 | Everett: ohhh, i see | 07:23 |
| rww | warriorforgod: you don't upgrade to intrepid with dist-upgrade ;) | 07:23 |
| ikonia | warriorforgod: thats a different distro - | 07:23 |
| rdw200169 | Everett: sorry, i wasn't paying attention | 07:23 |
| warriorforgod | I understand that. When I run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it doesn't upgrade the system. | 07:24 |
| ikonia | warriorforgod: you've jusut been told not to use that to upgrade | 07:24 |
| ardchoille | warriorforgod: that command isn't suppoed to take you to the next release | 07:24 |
| ikonia | warriorforgod: it's better to read how to upgrade before assuming anything | 07:24 |
| Everett | rdw: no problem. I know that an accessible install is possible in intrepid, it just requires a lot of commands to be entered without Orca to get orca up and running. | 07:24 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > warriorforgod | 07:24 |
| ubottu | warriorforgod, please see my private message | 07:24 |
| warriorforgod | I get it now. My bad. | 07:25 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83381/ I just made the main necessary change, should work fine............. just bakcup your one now, mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak | 07:25 |
| StevenX | Where can I find the sources file that tells Ubuntu what repositories to use? | 07:26 |
| Everett | Thanks for all of your assistance confirming what I figured would be what I have to do. | 07:26 |
| rww | StevenX: /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:26 |
| ardchoille | StevenX: /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:26 |
| e-frame | i experienced few times about uncomplete upgrade. i did upgrade via console, but the upgrade notification icon was still telling me about available upgrades. i did upgrade via console once again and find nothing. but when i tried to upgrade via synaptic, there were some upgrades available. then i upgraded it there. so was it normal ? | 07:26 |
| StevenX | ty | 07:26 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, thanks....ill try that soon...downloading 8.04 first before messing this up | 07:26 |
| rdw200169 | rww: ardchoille, speed test! | 07:26 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, thanks for all your help though....... :) | 07:26 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 07:26 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, its greatly appreciated | 07:26 |
| Everett | Just to confirm, there's no way to upgrade from hardy to intrepid from the terminal? | 07:26 |
| whynot | What is OSS? | 07:27 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | Everett | 07:27 |
| ubottu | Everett: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:27 |
| ardchoille | whyameye: open source software | 07:27 |
| ardchoille | whynot: open source software | 07:27 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: lol, don't worry about, if it messes anything up, just mv your old xorg.conf and it'll be back to the way it is | 07:27 |
| rww | whynot: or Open Sound System | 07:27 |
| whynot | Thank you. ESD, OSS, ALSA, PULSEAUDIO.... I'm confused. | 07:28 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: scrap ESD and OSS, they're old and deprecated | 07:28 |
| natalisushka | Hi, how can I know the kernel version from command line? | 07:28 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, but how to i kill X if when i kill it it pops back up again | 07:28 |
| e-frame | simple story: upgrade from terminal only upgrades some packages. other packages only available via synaptic. that is the problem i'm asking | 07:28 |
| rww | Everett: specifically, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended) will work for hardy->intrepid even if you're using a non-server install | 07:28 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: uname -a | 07:28 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: stick with pulseaudio/alsa | 07:28 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: uname -r | 07:29 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: alsa is kinda like hardware-layer, and pulseaudio runs on top of alsa, to provide software mixing | 07:29 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: /etc/init.d/gdm stop (as root, replace with kdm if using kubunutu) | 07:29 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, thanks again :) will do | 07:30 |
| Everett | rww: Looks like that uses the gui upgrade tool. No notes on duing this from the terminal? | 07:30 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: technically, pulseaudio uses alsa to push sound, consequentially, apps that say they use only OSS actually use ALSA, they just don't know it, b/c alsa has OSS-ALSA compatibility | 07:30 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, ardchoille thanks :) now I have a question concerning the kernels, I want to understand what is the use of leaving previous versions that existed before previous updates, and whether I can remove them or not | 07:30 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, one thing....i dont see your depth line in your xorg | 07:30 |
| sushiX | i am not able to access my sessions setting any idea | 07:30 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: further, pulseaudio has ESD compatibility | 07:30 |
| whynot | rdw200169/My computer has low hardware profile, so I hesitate to try pulseaudio, I'm afraid that pulseaudio would make my computer much slower. | 07:30 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: if you don't want to use them, please remove them | 07:30 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: thats all they are there fore | 07:30 |
| ikonia | for | 07:30 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: right at the bottom under "Screen" | 07:31 |
| ikonia | whynot: not really a an overhead | 07:31 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: you can indeed remove old kernels, but it's good practice to keep the current one and the previous one just in case an update causes a problem | 07:31 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: it's possible, but you have to forego the possibility for two apps to push sound at the same time | 07:31 |
| sluimers | Hello, My mouse and keyboard is not working in the login screen after a crashed upgrade from hardy to ibix, can someone help me with this? | 07:31 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, i mean the 1024x768 800x600 etc | 07:31 |
| sluimers | I would like to login | 07:31 |
| ikonia | sluimers: a failed update is probably better to do a clean install to get to a sane situation | 07:32 |
| Zeroedout | X should auto-detect it, if not you can add it in manually under screen | 07:32 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: it's more possible though, that if you downgrade your window environment, you will get a much larger performance boost, like xfce, etc... | 07:32 |
| ikonia | sluimers: it can be quite a long process to work out whats working and not and fix it | 07:32 |
| rdw200169 | whynot: instead of gnome/kde | 07:32 |
| whynot | ok. Actually, I'm satisfied the sound quality of alsa. the only problem is ..while I do some task, that process affects alsa and music. | 07:32 |
| natalisushka | ardchoille, that's what I guessed, keep the current and previous, so just for me to understand the real use of kernels. Are they basic code of linux that bridge software and hardware? | 07:32 |
| almark | why is pulseaudio my defualt in alsamixer, and how do i get my soundcard to work with Sound preferences? | 07:32 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: basically, yes | 07:33 |
| skaboy | hey was up | 07:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | almark, Because pulseaudio is default | 07:33 |
| skaboy | i got a question | 07:34 |
| dbugger | Hello! | 07:34 |
| ikonia | skaboy: please ask it | 07:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !pulse | almark | 07:34 |
| ubottu | almark: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 07:34 |
| almark | :Paddy_EIRE thanks for the answer, but how do I get alsamixer to work, I can't get sound from my soundcards | 07:34 |
| skaboy | on ubuntu the virus works??? | 07:34 |
| natalisushka | ardchoille, what is the difference between linux-restricted and linux-headers? | 07:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !alsa | almark | 07:34 |
| ubottu | almark: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:34 |
| skaboy | do i need a antivirus???????????????????????? | 07:34 |
| rhA | ............ | 07:34 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: That's a but out of my league I'm afraid | 07:34 |
| whynot | rdw200169/I experienced MS- DOS, if I determined to learn linux command I think I can. But I'm too lazy to learn unix/linux command. I'm already accustomed to the GUI environment. | 07:34 |
| ikonia | skaboy: ubuntu is not effected by virus's in the same way as windows | 07:34 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, thanks again :) greatlly appreciate it | 07:34 |
| ikonia | skaboy: one "?" mark is enough | 07:34 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: did it work? | 07:35 |
| natalisushka | ardchoille, thanks :) | 07:35 |
| dbugger | I've been trying for ours to set up a webserver that runs PERL but have no success... either I get a 403 error or i get a Open/save Dialog Box. :( Can someone please help me? | 07:35 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, gone a try soon....burning 8.04 just in case :) | 07:35 |
| skaboy | but do i need 1 or not? | 07:35 |
| ikonia | skaboy: not really know | 07:35 |
| almark | Thank YE | 07:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !virus | skaboy | 07:35 |
| ubottu | skaboy: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 07:35 |
| ardchoille | !antivirus | skaboy | 07:35 |
| ikonia | skaboy: sorry not really "no" | 07:35 |
| ubottu | skaboy: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 07:35 |
| natalisushka | Anyone knows what is the difference between linux-restricted and linux-headers kernels? And what does server or generic refer to? | 07:35 |
| Everett | Just confirming that there is no commandline upgrade to intrepid, not nagging, just using a horribly inaccessible IRC client and this room is busy, might have missed the answer. | 07:35 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: restricted are closed source modules, headers are the kernels headers | 07:36 |
| gcbirzan | Everett: you can try aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade | 07:36 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: lol, the power in linux rests is being able to fix (especially so if you like the command line) let me know it it worked either way :) | 07:36 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: server is a kernel designed for enteprise hardware, generic is for desktop/home user kit | 07:36 |
| skaboy | because there is a video that it says avg antivirus for ubuntu | 07:36 |
| ikonia | skaboy: I really wouldn't worry about it if I was you | 07:36 |
| skaboy | but thank you guys | 07:37 |
| ikonia | skaboy: just use common sense in how you use ubuntu and you'll be fine | 07:37 |
| Everett | gcbirzan: I tried apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade with no luck. is hat the same? | 07:37 |
| whynot | Most of younger generation who are used to window GUI don't know how to input/use command line, and that's one of many reasons they keep using windows, I guess. | 07:37 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, thanks :) But I need a sort of explaination that will help me determine what to use (when grug gives me options) just in certain case | 07:37 |
| gcbirzan | Everett: Yeah. You must have intrepid in /etc/apt/sources.list, instead of what distribution you have now. | 07:37 |
| ardchoille | Everett: apt-get dist-upgrade is not intended to take you to the next release of Ubuntu | 07:37 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: grub won't give you options, grub will only present what you install | 07:37 |
| skaboy | oh and how can use the effects | 07:38 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: kernel-headers and restriced modules are not kernels ether so they won't show up in grub | 07:38 |
| skaboy | or how can i get more effects? | 07:38 |
| ikonia | !compiz > skaboy | 07:38 |
| ubottu | skaboy, please see my private message | 07:38 |
| Zeroedout | whynot: I disagree, i grew up with windows guis and I love linux | 07:38 |
| Everett | ardchoill: not intended, or wont work? | 07:38 |
| almark | Paddy_EIRE: alsamixer does work, But I get no sound no matter what I do, But... I hear drums in the Ubuntu login and If I do a tem sound test then I hear static. Please help. | 07:38 |
| k4rjj | #hamradio | 07:38 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: if you installed the desktop CD - you will get the generic kernel, if you got the server CD you will get the server kernel | 07:38 |
| whynot | zeroedout/ I said MOST not all of them. | 07:38 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: so grub will only present what you installed | 07:38 |
| === david__ is now known as __david | ||
| ikonia | natalisushka: does that make it clear ? | 07:39 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, yes some how. But why do I have both genreic and server? I installed ubuntu from Desktop CD | 07:39 |
| ardchoille | Everett: I've seen it break system more than it helps | 07:39 |
| Zeroedout | whynot: lol, i attribute it to a lack of interest and seld-esteem, "I want my computer to just work!" "what X is broken, the hell is X? windows didn't have a command line i'm goin back" | 07:39 |
| Everett | ardchoille: well, I might give it a shout before muddling through a Orcaless install of Intrepid. Thanks or letting me know that it is a possible option. | 07:40 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: you've installed the server kernel | 07:40 |
| redrebel | how do I upgrade my 8.04 ubuntu to 8.10?? | 07:41 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: thats the only reason, I suggest you open synaptic search for the server kernel and remove it | 07:41 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > redrebel | 07:41 |
| ubottu | redrebel, please see my private message | 07:41 |
| almark | Paddy_EIRE: Did you get my message way back there? | 07:41 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, probably when I selected the option LAMP in synaptic ready packages? | 07:41 |
| redrebel | thanx | 07:41 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: I don't think lamp is linked to a kernel, so no | 07:41 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, so when I am using generic (Desktop), server is useless? | 07:42 |
| sushiX | i am notable to access System > Preferences > Sessions any idea y this could be | 07:42 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: you can only run one kernel at once | 07:42 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, I see. | 07:42 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: if your running the desktop kernel, no other kernel can be run | 07:42 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: I suggest you remove the server kernel to stop any confusion | 07:42 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, how do i restore my menu.lst to it's defaults in terms of what is installed of kernels? | 07:42 |
| sluimers | ikonia, I also have trouble booting from cd-rom and usb-stick | 07:42 |
| ikonia | sluimers: ? | 07:42 |
| Zeroedout | sushiX:try "gnome-session-properties" in the terminal and see what errors it spits out | 07:43 |
| skaboy | the last question sorry but im new on this ! where can i get a tutorial about ubuntu? | 07:43 |
| ikonia | skaboy: ubuntu.com | 07:43 |
| ikonia | skaboy: https://help.ubuntu.com too, | 07:43 |
| sluimers | ikonia, it doesn't seem to recognize the external cd-rom drive | 07:43 |
| skaboy | ok im out later and thankyou | 07:43 |
| ardchoille | skaboy: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation | 07:43 |
| ikonia | sluimers: need to make sure you've got supported hardware, I can't fix unsupported hardware | 07:44 |
| BigMike | hi all | 07:44 |
| sushiX | Zeroedout, it says could not connect to the session manager | 07:45 |
| BigMike | ???? is there a way to deselect all items in the update manager???? | 07:45 |
| shamus | hello | 07:46 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, how do i restore my menu.lst to it's defaults in terms of what is installed of kernels? | 07:46 |
| natalisushka | Guys how do i restore my menu.lst to it's defaults in terms of what is installed of kernels? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: when you remove the server kernel, it will be removed from the menu.lst | 07:46 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, I have edited my menu.lst before, and so it's reduced to a couple of kernels of what I have. I have a back up, but I need to know in case i lost it, or new kernels were installed so i want to have a menu.lst that detects what is already installed and list them | 07:47 |
| sluimers | ikonia, What do you mean supported hardware, at least a usb-stick should be recognized in the BIOS shouldn't it? | 07:48 |
| Zeroedout | sushiX: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/237872 seems to have the same problem | 07:48 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: when you install or remove a kernel it will update menu.lst for you - you never have to manually edit it | 07:48 |
| ikonia | sluimers: don't know, depends on your hardware | 07:48 |
| Zeroedout | sushiX: one solution was to delete the ~/.kde diretory, but I cna't figure out why that would work. Try it anyway, other wise kill X ctrl alt bkspc and see if it still happens | 07:49 |
| Platypus-Man | took about 6 months for my first Ubuntu error to appear on the screen (Fork failed), but just bashed the keyboard and tried to install the updates two more times, and then it worked. :D | 07:52 |
| Platypus-Man | c ya in another 6 months when the next error appears | 07:52 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, in my menu.lst I have 2.6.27-7-generic, while in synaptic I see that I have 2.6.27-8-generic and 2.6.27-10-generic! If 10 is installed, then why isn't it in menu.lst? And that is my need, in such case, how do I make menu.lst have the default list of all installed kernels? (like doing it manually by some command) | 07:53 |
| ikonia | natalisushka 2.6.27-9 is current | 07:53 |
| rice_ | hi | 07:54 |
| ikonia | natalisushka there is only 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27-9-generic in the repos, you should ignore the server kernels | 07:54 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: as I said I suggest you remove them | 07:54 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: it also sounds like you may have the "proposed" repository enabled, I suggest you disalbe that also | 07:55 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: (if you do have it enabled) | 07:55 |
| ardchoille | I don't see 2.6.27-10-generic in the Intrepid repos | 07:56 |
| ikonia | ardchoille: it's not there | 07:56 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, I can see it it's right there in my synaptic, 2.6.27-10-generic from the main repos | 07:56 |
| rice_ | Is there any official solution for to agressive disk parking on laptops? | 07:56 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, didnt work but thanks for your help again :) | 07:56 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: your mistaken, or your not using ubuntu as 2.6.27-19 is not in the main repo as a generic kernel | 07:57 |
| ardchoille | ikonia: could it be that natalisushka has mixed Intrepid and Jaunty repos in the sources.list? | 07:57 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: same error as before? | 07:57 |
| ikonia | ardchoille: I was just yping that | 07:57 |
| ardchoille | ikonia: :) | 07:57 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, no..just blank screen :) | 07:57 |
| sluimers | ikonia, thanks for your help, I think I fixed it :) | 07:57 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, how can i send you a screenshot? | 07:57 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: you are either using the proposed repos, or the jauny repos, could you please pastebin your /etc/apt/source.list file | 07:57 |
| ikonia | !pastebin | natalisushka | 07:57 |
| ubottu | natalisushka: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 07:57 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: and nothing in xorg log or dmesg about i810 not loading? | 07:57 |
| dkT | I can't find my audio cd from audacious in 8.10... Any suggestions? | 07:57 |
| actionfigure | zErOaCid, cant check it if its wont let me get to termainl at all | 07:58 |
| ikonia | sluimers: I didn't do anything, ou sorted yourself out | 07:58 |
| nme | anyone knows how to get rid of it? -> CRON[9416]: Sigfile not found | 07:58 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: ctrl alt F1 will drop you to a terminal | 07:59 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, yeah but the screen is black...cant do anything | 07:59 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, you're right, I have intrepid-proposed | 08:00 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: I suggest you disable that | 08:00 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, why? | 08:00 |
| Zeroedout | actionfigure: that's very strange, antime i've ever had an error in linux i was always able to do that......... lol, good luck | 08:00 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: because proposed updates are not stable | 08:00 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: and you have no need of unstable "proposed" updates | 08:00 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, i see. | 08:00 |
| actionfigure | Zeroedout, thanks....just an old system and i usually dont use ubuntu | 08:00 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: and the kernel is one thing you do *not* want to break | 08:01 |
| rice_ | Is there any official solution for to agressive disk parking on laptops? | 08:01 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, ok, anyway, I can't see that I have 9 installed, I must do that manually? | 08:01 |
| ikonia | rice_: check the bug report - at the moment I don't think so | 08:01 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: uname -r | 08:01 |
| Zeroedout | can't rice just use hdparm and tweak it to his liking? | 08:02 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: I suggest you remove the others first, fall back to -7, then reboot - once you re-open synaptic you'll find it refreshes the correct data without the proposed update | 08:02 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: better to clean up befo going forward | 08:02 |
| ikonia | before | 08:02 |
| rice_ | Zeroedout: hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda stops disk parking but rise temperature of disk (to much). | 08:03 |
| natalisushka | ardchoille, 2.6.27-7-generic | 08:04 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: great, your running a sensible version | 08:04 |
| z987k | what does the ubuntu-standard package do for me? | 08:04 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: that's a good one | 08:05 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: open synaptic and remove (with puprhge) the other kernels | 08:05 |
| === sean is now known as Guest7346 | ||
| drkn00ck3rz | Do we have something like icon manager for setting the size of various icons and their appearance on ubuntu platform ? | 08:05 |
| natalisushka | ardchoille, ikonia should I install 9? | 08:05 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: no - you should remove the others first as I'ave said 3 times | 08:05 |
| ardchoille | natalisushka: follow what ikonia says, he knows his stuff | 08:06 |
| natalisushka | ikonia, Ok :) I understood, I meant, after I remove the rest | 08:06 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: I suggest you reboot then, once youve rebooted synaptic will offer you the updates available to you | 08:06 |
| ikonia | if 9 is one of them - take it | 08:06 |
| ikonia | natalisushka: if 9 is not then you have other problems, that the proposed repos have caused that may stop 9 being installed | 08:06 |

| generalsnus | We have a problem with our thin clients, It seems like each user has 2 instances of the process "ps" running.. using 2% cpu each.. as you imagine..this is a problem when there is 30 users logged on.. cpu load is at 90-100% what can i do? | 09:05 |
| terryx | shrini: what u use for mobile..? | 09:05 |
| mchelen1 | generalsnus, how are clients connecting? | 09:06 |
| mchelen1 | !nvidia | zhjawe | 09:06 |
| ubottu | zhjawe: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:06 |
| mchelen1 | zhjawe, also recommend using envy-ng for that card, use the driver version it suggest | 09:07 |
| mchelen1 | !envy-ng | 09:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about envy-ng | 09:07 |
| mchelen1 | !envy | 09:07 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 09:07 |
| zhjawe | Thank you for your help. | 09:07 |
| zhjawe | My refresh rate is only 50HZ now. | 09:08 |
| generalsnus | mchelen1: clients authenticates with M$ AD, trough the ltsp server | 09:08 |
| ddoom | how I do I setup a script to run on boot | 09:09 |
| mchelen1 | zhjawe, it should be possible to increase the refresh rate even without nvidia drivers, but that should work ok too | 09:09 |
| mchelen1 | generalsnus, is it all handled by ltsp? if so maybe ask in #ltsp | 09:10 |

How can i open a new tab in my terminal window from the commandline ? thanks | 09:31 |

| deepthink | Hello. I'm trying to get my backup system (bacula) to run unsion for each user to sync between computers. The problem is that unison has to be run with the permissions of each user. I have tried to create a small script called run_sync for one of my users. It is owned by the user and has the setuid bit set. The privileges don't seem to be changed. Isn't the setuid bit supposed to make the programs in the script believe that they ar | 09:35 |
| deepthink | e running as the scripts owner? | 09:35 |
| ardchoille | bebop_: yes | 09:35 |
| jim_p | \slash, you mean ALL the available packages? | 09:35 |
| \slash | yeah jim | 09:35 |
| ardchoille | \slash: you're better off using synaptic as that would be a huge list | 09:35 |
| \slash | ah | 09:35 |
| jim_p | \slash, or just the installed ones? | 09:35 |
| ne2k__ | overrider: WOW! I never knew that gnome terminal had tabs! | 09:35 |
| ne2k__ | that is cool | 09:35 |
| bebop_ | Alright, i figured i would tell you since i kinda gave you greif about never getting a response. I think it was a memory allocation issue with the bios | 09:35 |
| \slash | jim letsay i want to search for an available package with * name | 09:36 |
| bebop_ | i updated t the newest version and ran wall-e 720P flawlessly it seems | 09:36 |
| jim_p | ne2k__, prepare for a big surprise. nautilus in 8.10 has tabs too! | 09:36 |
| overrider | ne2k__, dude its soo important. open a new tab by clicking Ctrl+Shift+T | 09:36 |
| \slash | like just to check whats available with that name. | 09:36 |
| overrider | otherwise the windows get scattered all over your desktop soon | 09:36 |
| ardchoille | \slash: apt-cache search package_name_here | 09:36 |
| ne2k__ | overrider: can you move between them with the keyboard | 09:36 |
| ardchoille | \slash: or to only search the package names: apt-cache search -n package_name | 09:37 |
| overrider | ne2k__, yesm Ctrl+Page Up or Down | 09:37 |
| ne2k__ | overrider: ah, cool | 09:37 |
| ne2k__ | that is TOO COOL | 09:37 |
| \slash | ah thanks ard | 09:37 |
| overrider | ne2k__, now if we can figure out how to make a new tab via just one keystroke, eg, aliasing t to Ctrl+Shift|Tab, then it will be even cooler | 09:37 |
| overrider | eg t=new tab, q=close current tab | 09:38 |
| ne2k__ | overrider: that would be a little bit stupid, no? | 09:38 |
| overrider | ne2k__, no, why? | 09:38 |
| \slash | BitchX isnt available? | 09:38 |
| ne2k__ | overrider: so that every time you press t, it opens a new tab?! | 09:38 |
| ardchoille | overrider: and if you happen to mistype a "t" while that app is focused? | 09:38 |
| \slash | only irssi ? | 09:38 |
| overrider | well it would be e+enter | 09:39 |
| overrider | and i don't mistype :-) | 09:39 |
| ardchoille | I find that quite hard to believe | 09:39 |
| nm_ | hi here. Someone know how to establish a vpn with pptp? I doesn't work here :/ | 09:39 |

| BonezAU | Hi, I used sysv-rc-conf to disable some services yesterday and now my wireless will not work. NetworkManager says "Wireless is disabled". I have re-enabled all of the services that I can remember turning off but still can not get wireless to work. Any ideas? Thanks | 09:51 |
| ne2k__ | ocs: I never knew that cups has a web interface. why would it? | 09:51 |
| ne2k__ | ocs: but, I still maintain that your question was crap | 09:51 |
| click170 | How is /etc/resolv.conf maintained? I recently changed my local DNS server from .24 to .20, but my gateway machine still has .24 in it's resolv.conf on boot. I've checked the dhcp configurations and /etc/network/interfaces file | 09:51 |
| ocs | ne2k__: ok, bye bye | 09:51 |
| VerumAddo | can someone tell me why im getting a 404 error when trying to apt-get flashplugin-nonfree | 09:52 |
| davmonster | click170: I want to know that too | 09:52 |
| ne2k__ | VerumAddo: try apt-get update first. then try checking your repository address | 09:52 |
| xray7224 | hey guys | 09:52 |
| ardchoille | VerumAddo: possible a problem with the archive server, nothing you can do about it | 09:52 |
| TiNRiB | are you using a DHCP client? | 09:53 |
| jburd | I'm trying to run multiple operating systems in VirtualBox on Intrepid. However, networking doesn't work in the virtual machine. The network adapter is configured to use NAT on the interface, so I should be able to access anything oustide of the VM, no? | 09:53 |
| click170 | davmonster: I've asked in the Debian channel already, no response | 09:53 |
| TiNRiB | as opposed to static IP? | 09:53 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, are you on 8.04? the package is broken. adobe moved the plugin to another location | 09:53 |
| click170 | I am using DHCP on the external interface, which is to the ISP | 09:53 |
| davmonster | I'm using a DHCP client also | 09:53 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p im on 7.10 | 09:53 |
| ne2k__ | jburd: what is the status of the virtual interface on the virtual machine? does it claim to have an IP address? | 09:53 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, anyway, the package is roughly the same. its flashplugin v9 that adobe moved to another location | 09:54 |
| TiNRiB | im no pro but doesnt having DHCP grab ip also grab DNS | 09:54 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p how do i get apt to look in that location ? | 09:54 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, i am sure it affects all versions from 8.04 and down | 09:54 |
| jburd | ne2k__: 10.0.2.15 is the ip address the virtual interface has. | 09:54 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, adobe also offers a .deb standalone package | 09:54 |
| ne2k__ | TiNRiB: a decent DHCP client lets you override anything like that | 09:54 |
| ne2k__ | jburd: and where did this come from? | 09:54 |
| jburd | /sbin/ifconfig | 09:55 |
| davmonster | I'm using dhcp3 | 09:55 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p not sure how to use those... | 09:55 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, and you can alwais install the plugin by hand. i have done so. opera is on flash 10 and ff is on flash 9 for me | 09:55 |
| deepthink | I have created a script containing only the command "env". It is owned by userA and has the setuid bit set. If executed by userB shouldn't the env reflect userA? | 09:55 |
| jburd | It's assigned via dhcp on an instance of centos 5.2 @ ne2k__ | 09:55 |
| davmonster | I guess ubuntu 8.10 dhcp3 grabs dns by default | 09:55 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, just download the .deb and double click it. instructions will come up | 09:55 |
| jburd | My local computers are on the 192.168.0.0/24 network. @ ne2k__ | 09:55 |
| TiNRiB | trying going static.. and seeing if it keeps the DNS entry | 09:56 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p okay will try it thanks | 09:56 |

| Juliada | Hello everyone! I accidentally uninstalled gnome network-manager, and Internet disappeared... I re-installed the system... Is there a way to keep DHCP internet connection without it? | 09:57 |
| jburd | BonezAU: Have you turned on the switch for your wireless card? | 09:57 |
| nunocruz | hEllo | 09:57 |
| davmonster | if you I've edited /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf and removed the 'netbios-name-servers' entry and the 'domain-nane-servers' entries | 09:57 |
| davmonster | hopefully that will fix | 09:57 |
| === froggles is now known as scrote | ||
| jburd | BonezAU: Also right click on the network manager icon in the notification area and check whether you have "Enable Wireless" checked. | 09:58 |

| ne2k__ | jburd: the real machine, I mean | 10:01 |
| BonezAU | sooo.... can anyone help? | 10:01 |
| jburd | ne2k__: A few kernel upgrades ago, networking was working without my doing anything on it. | 10:01 |
| jburd | ne2k__: Nope. I'm unable to ping 192.168.0.1 | 10:01 |
| \slash | is it just me or does audacious only play local files? network files dont play? | 10:01 |
| davmonster | domain-name-servers | 10:01 |
| jburd | Let me check if I'm able to ping the VM's gateway. | 10:01 |
| ne2k__ | jburd: errm, if it's gateway is 192.168.0.1 then something is really very very wrong. that's not on the same subnet | 10:02 |

| nunocruz | also then to how to resize the disks after installation | 10:02 |
| ne2k__ | jburd: have you checked iptables? it might be that something has been added to the default ruleset that is blocking this | 10:03 |
| jburd | I'll check that too | 10:03 |

| dirty | does any know about kde | 10:05 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p nvm i found it on a 3rd party site | 10:05 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, oh ok | 10:05 |
| davmonster | nunocruz: please elaborate | 10:05 |
| nikin | TiNRiB: why? | 10:05 |
| TiNRiB | i have tried to tweak wine for optimal performance for loads of games. | 10:05 |
| TiNRiB | the FPS just isn't up to scratch | 10:06 |
| Unknown0BC | Greetings :D | 10:06 |
| BonezAU | Hi, I used sysv-rc-conf to disable some services yesterday and now my wireless will not work. NetworkManager says "Wireless is disabled". I have re-enabled all of the services that I can remember turning off but still can not get wireless to work. Any ideas? Thanks | 10:06 |
| TiNRiB | even by going to the latest releases of wine. | 10:06 |
| jburd | ne2k__: I'm facing the same problem in a Windows VM as well. | 10:06 |
| Getterac7 | my keyboard layout is dvorak, but my login screen still types in qwerty... any suggestions? | 10:06 |
| nikin | TiNRiB: ok then no wine tuning.. wht about tuning the game, or tuning the videocard driver? | 10:06 |
| Unknown0BC | How can I get my Ubuntu system to not ask for a password after it comes out of hibernate ? | 10:06 |
| sybux | Hi all | 10:06 |
| TiNRiB | not looked at that... | 10:07 |
| sybux | I'd like to know how to configure postfix with spamassasin so that all spam message are moved to the "Spam Folder" | 10:07 |
| TiNRiB | have you tried at all? | 10:07 |
| ne2k__ | jburd: if they were both working before, and have now stopped, I would suggest it is either something with the virtualization software itself, of the host OS | 10:07 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: what is your wireless card ? | 10:07 |
| Getterac7 | unknown0BC: it's because it locks the screen when it hibernates, i believe. | 10:07 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, rt73usb | 10:07 |
| C0nn0R_ | bonezAU: Have you reinenabled the services you disabled ? | 10:07 |
| Getterac7 | unknown0BC: i don't think there is a way to change that. | 10:07 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, not all of them, just anything to do with networking | 10:07 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p okay i ran the .deb file but i still get the Box saying i need the plugin | 10:08 |
| Adross | hello, i installed a fedora install in virtual box, and i'm trying to ssh into it from the host ubuntu install. the network type is nat, but the ssh just hangs. I know this may not be the right channel, but we all know that you guys are smarter than #fedora | 10:08 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p and i have restarted the browser | 10:08 |
| ne2k__ | Unknown0BC: why would you want to do that? | 10:08 |
| GFree | Getterac7: ahh good ol' GNOME, hiding the options people actually want to see. :) | 10:08 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, did the installation pop any errors? | 10:08 |
| fivetwentysix | I need help with this bug I have, NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0 is displaying my network devices twice... Although I'm not sure if it's a cause to my other problem (random wireless spiking in ping), I'd still like to solve it. I can screen shot it if you don't understand what I mean. | 10:08 |
| TiNRiB | nikin: i had a GTS8800 640MB playing COD4, halflife 2 under wine 1.0 | 10:08 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, is there any way to reset all services back to default? | 10:08 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Have you tried booting in recovery mode and see any errors there ? | 10:08 |
| davmonster | Adross: type ifconfig in the fedorall install at a console | 10:08 |
| nunocruz | Put it the instalation CD | 10:08 |
| TiNRiB | performance was pretty bad with fps around 20 | 10:08 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p only that there was a newer version available via the software repositories | 10:08 |
| nikin | TiNRiB: i tryed to find some config file in the game.. no luck on that.. for the videocard i have no idea. the only thing that coes in mind i somehow disable features so that the game does not try touse them, like particles | 10:09 |
| nunocruz | And make a installation in _HArdDISK | 10:09 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, no, but that would probably not help me. | 10:09 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Hmm.. you can try live cd to see if your wireless works then. | 10:09 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, :| | 10:09 |
| davmonster | Adross: does it display an ip address? | 10:09 |
| nunocruz | yeS live cd | 10:09 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, can you remove it? do you know how to? | 10:09 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, the PC dual boots WinXP and it works fine. It's something i've done to the ubuntu install | 10:09 |
| nunocruz | DAVMONSTER | 10:09 |
| Adross | davmonster: one moment | 10:09 |
| TiNRiB | nikin: turning all the effects down does improve it... but then the game looks shabby. | 10:09 |
| nunocruz | put live cd run on it | 10:09 |
| nikin | TiNRiB: i had GTA_VC run finron a Geforce8400M :D | 10:09 |
| nunocruz | instal on hard disk | 10:09 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p will apt-get remove still work since i installed it with a .deb file ? | 10:09 |
| TiNRiB | FPS? | 10:09 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Tried "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 10:10 |
| davmonster | nunocruz: ah ok, thanks | 10:10 |
| nunocruz | chosse to mantains your other partition it will crete a new one ofr you | 10:10 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, how would that help is multiple "reboot" does not work | 10:10 |
| Getterac7 | anyone know how to change the keyboard layout for the login screen? i want it to be dvorak. | 10:10 |
| BonezAU | is = if | 10:10 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, yes, but you need to know the name. BEFORE you remove it.... what do you see in about:plugins of ff? | 10:10 |
| Rugg | .dpkg -purge xx.deb ?? | 10:10 |
| nikin | TiNRiB: i dont care... :D i like the missions and the driving :D no need for bullet particles :D | 10:10 |
| Everett | Is there a howto for replacing PulseAudio with Alsa or OSS? | 10:10 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Have you looked at your ifconfig ? | 10:10 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, it shows lo and eth0, no wirelss | 10:11 |
| Everett | Basically just getting rid of PulseAudio is what we're shooting for here. | 10:11 |
| TiNRiB | haha yeh sure.. first person shooters.. I meant frames per sec. | 10:11 |
| C0nn0R_ | Its on the motherboard and not through usb right ? | 10:11 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, it's USB | 10:11 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p i dont see an about plugins option... i see an option for add-ons | 10:11 |
| C0nn0R_ | So it should show eth1. | 10:11 |
| C0nn0R_ | Hmm.... | 10:11 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, yes | 10:11 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p its not in that list however | 10:12 |
| nikin | TiNRiB: i am the one whotweaked UT to thepoint where there where no textures at all :D | 10:12 |
| Adross | davmonster: there is no ifconfig in fedora 8 | 10:12 |
| sybux | I'd like to know how to configure postfix with spamassasin so that all spam message are moved to the "Spam Folder" | 10:12 |
| zaggynl | So I thought ext3 didn't fragment: que, ext3 fragments? http://www2.lut.fi/~ilonen/ext3_fragmentation.html | 10:12 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, I just need to know which damn service it is that has to be enabled to make it work :( | 10:12 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, no lol. open a new tab and type about:plugins in the addressbar | 10:12 |
| davmonster | Adross: try sudo ifconfig | 10:12 |
| TiNRiB | and you still got ur a$$ caned? | 10:12 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, do you see flash in there? | 10:12 |
| Unknown0BC | ne2k__, like some people who don't work for te FBI and CIA and arent very paranoid don't need passwords. Some prefer to have the system log them in automatically. Dig ? | 10:12 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p negative | 10:13 |
| Unknown0BC | Thats why I don't like a screen lock to come up after hibernate. | 10:13 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, negative as in "i dont see it there" ? | 10:13 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p its not listed in the list no | 10:13 |
| Unknown0BC | If anybody knows how to remove it please let me know :) | 10:13 |
| ne2k__ | Unknown0BC: ;-) I don't know, I'm afraid. I suspect it's possible. I'd just like to be able to get hibernate to work at all, to be honest | 10:13 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: What is the services listed ? | 10:13 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, ok. remove the package you installed from adobe | 10:14 |
| Adross | davmonster: yes, if have an ip address | 10:14 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, you want me to list the services? | 10:14 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, let me find 9 and install it manually | 10:14 |
| Adross | davmonster: which is the one i was trying to ssh into from the host address | 10:14 |
| jim_p | Unknown0BC, are you on ati? | 10:14 |
| davmonster | Adross: try sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart from within fedora | 10:14 |
| Adross | davmonster: *host machine | 10:14 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Yeah anything to do with networking. | 10:14 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p actually man dont worry about it... its late i will try to get it going tomorrow, thanks for your help | 10:15 |
| BonezAU | "networking" and something like "wpa_ipc$" | 10:15 |
| Adross | davmonster: no joy | 10:15 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p might just end up upgrading to 8.04 | 10:15 |
| Adross | davmonster: didn't work | 10:15 |
| davmonster | Adross: try pinging the ip address of the fedora vm from within ubuntu | 10:15 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Try enabling both of those services. | 10:15 |
| Unknown0BC | ne2k__, Those functions in my experience usually gives problems. My suspend won't work. You might want to man pm-hibernate look at the quirks. | 10:15 |
| StormBlade | how can i change gdm theme while using kde | 10:15 |
| Adross | davmonster: already tried, no response | 10:15 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, well i have the installers. do you want me to upload it somewhere? | 10:16 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: And you may need to reboot to see if that works. | 10:16 |
| Unknown0BC | jim_p, I have ATI redeon yes. | 10:16 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, I did enable both of them and reboot. Google told me to disable them because networkmanager control sthem | 10:16 |
| VerumAddo | jim_p nah thats okay thanks tho | 10:16 |
| jim_p | Unknown0BC, and fglrx installed?? if so, how? | 10:16 |
| BonezAU | i need someone who has had this happen before to help me | 10:16 |
| jim_p | VerumAddo, you are welcome | 10:16 |
| BonezAU | i'm a linux sysadmin so i've tried everything i know about | 10:16 |
| Adross | davmonster: the guest machine can ssh into the host though | 10:16 |
| davmonster | Adross: looks like virtual networking interface is down for vmbox | 10:16 |
| BonezAU | its just a stupid problem that is not documented anywhere | 10:16 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: I have had my Broadcom card act up on me but it was a simple fix. | 10:16 |
| davmonster | Adross: oh. in that case maybe firewall issue or misconfigured sshd on vm | 10:17 |
| Adross | i've turned off the firewall | 10:17 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Looked at your network settings in your System menu ? | 10:17 |
| Adross | where is the firewall config stored? | 10:17 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, yes... shows no wireless adapter | 10:17 |
| Adross | i might just swap out my ubuntu one into the fedora install | 10:17 |
| jim_p | Adross, do you use a gui for setting the firewall?? | 10:18 |
| davmonster | Adross: type sudo /etc/init.d/sshd status | 10:18 |
| C0nn0R_ | modprobe -l rt73usb | 10:18 |
| Adross | jim_p: yes | 10:18 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, sorry i did not catch the conversation earlies, but what does lspci / lsusb show? | 10:18 |
| C0nn0R_ | See if that does anything. | 10:18 |
| gregd | hi guys, is it possible to make my ubuntu being a2dp receiver? | 10:18 |
| Adross | davmonster: it's running | 10:19 |
| jim_p | Adross, what frontend? | 10:19 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, it shows the wireless adapter... dmesg also shows it as being registered | 10:19 |
| gregd | I want to play music wirelessly through my desktop speakers | 10:19 |
| clusby | Hi, has anyone had problems where kern.log, messages, syslog are huge (2GB)? | 10:19 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, can you please paste its line here? | 10:19 |
| clusby | Its all full with "bad: scheduling from the idle thread" messages | 10:19 |
| Unknown0BC | jim_p, what is fglrx ? | 10:19 |
| davmonster | Adross: check fedora-specific firewall gui utility for incoming ssh access | 10:19 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, can't paste it as such since there is no network connectivity to the box :/ | 10:19 |
| C0nn0R_ | Driver for ATI cards. | 10:19 |
| Adross | davmonster: already done, the firewall has since been entirely disabled | 10:20 |
| BonezAU | it shows up in dmesg as soon as you plug the usb adapter in | 10:20 |
| jim_p | Unknown0BC, closed source driver for atis, made by ati , VERY problematic | 10:20 |
| BonezAU | 3 lines of text | 10:20 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, can you give me a clue at least? | 10:20 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: Did your system work when you hook your computer up to the adaptor ? | 10:20 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, not dmesg, lsusb! | 10:20 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, rt73usb: registered | 10:20 |

| jim_p | BonezAU, so its realtek made | 10:21 |
| davmonster | Adross: hm.. at a loss to what it might be | 10:21 |
| davmonster | Adross: try changing vm network adaptor on vmbox if there are other options | 10:21 |
| NET||abuse | huge problem, my laptop freezes up for 5-10 seconds randomly every now and then.. | 10:21 |
| davmonster | Adross: my vmware for example gives NAT, bridged or host-only | 10:21 |
| NET||abuse | how can i go about diagnosing this? | 10:21 |
| alesan | do you have any idea what I have to install to enable the vpn connections? I'd have to login to a CISCO vpn | 10:22 |
| davmonster | Adross: experiment with the other two if they are available | 10:22 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, it shows Linksys WUSB54G blah blah [realtek 73usb] or something similar | 10:22 |
| TiNRiB | davmonster: can you ssh to the VMs whern using NAT? | 10:22 |
| NET||abuse | i'm on 8.10, dell d630 latitude, compiz etc.. | 10:22 |
| TiNRiB | with firewall down. | 10:22 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, thanks. give me some time | 10:22 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, you could have just asked me what chipset it was, i said before it was an rt73usb ;) | 10:22 |
| NET||abuse | uses nvidia nvs135M gpu card | 10:22 |
| davmonster | TiNRiB: I can yeah | 10:22 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, the pc is in a diffent room to where i am so its a bit difficult :) | 10:22 |
| jim_p | ok lol | 10:22 |
| TiNRiB | weird: in old vmware workstation 4.x i could | 10:22 |
| Adross | davmonster: thanks | 10:22 |
| C0nn0R_ | BonezAU: have you tried modprobing the wireless driver ? | 10:23 |
| C0nn0R_ | For your card ? | 10:23 |
| BonezAU | C0nn0R, thanks for ur help, but you don't seem to understand the issue | 10:23 |
| Unknown0BC | jim_p, I don't have problems with my graphics. ( not much ) . Is this related to me wanting to remove the lock screen after coming out of hibernate at all ? | 10:23 |
| davmonster | TiNRiB: I am in vmware ubuntu vm at the moment | 10:23 |
| davmonster | TiNRiB: but not sure about vbox's networking setup | 10:23 |
| johannes_ | does 32bit software work on an 64 bit OS? | 10:24 |
| jim_p | Unknown0BC, there is a "service" that takes care of hibernating and stuff. atieventsd is the name. please disable it if you can. | 10:24 |
| earthling | no johannes | 10:24 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, modprobing works? | 10:24 |
| johannes_ | is there some kind of 32bit emulator for ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| jim_p | johannes_, emulator for what? | 10:24 |
| johannes_ | I want to run labview on a 64 bit kubuntu laptop | 10:25 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, sudo modprobe rt73usb if that does not give erros, and the card is seen, then its that !@#$ network manager | 10:25 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, the module is loaded at boot. modprobing does nothing. there is some form of a service which is not activating at boot which makes networkmanager think that the wireless is disabled. i disabled some services yesterday with sysv-rc-conf and whatever I did, it screwed up the wireless. I don't remember exactly which services i disabled or enabled | 10:25 |
| johannes_ | but there is a 32bit labview version only | 10:25 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, please remove network manager then | 10:26 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, i need network manager, its a laptop and i travel a lot | 10:26 |
| === zcj is now known as zcj0429 | ||
| jim_p | johannes_, i think it will run on wine as usual, provided that labview does run on wine! | 10:26 |
| StevenX | Anyone have a good link on how to boost Ubuntu 8.10 performance? | 10:26 |
| Sivam | Hi All | 10:26 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, try wicd! network manager is 110% problem software | 10:26 |
| johannes_ | i meant the 32bit linux version of labview | 10:27 |
| davmonster | StevenX: in what area? | 10:27 |
| jim_p | johannes_, sec | 10:27 |
| Sivam | I wanted to change the keyboard layout of Ubuntu. Please let me know how to change it. do I have to change the key board layout every time I restart the machine ? | 10:27 |
| earthling | BonezAU : if eth0 shows up in dmesg then its not a problem with network manager | 10:27 |
| hateball | johannes_❄ you'll need the ia32libs (unsure about spelling) package | 10:27 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, how am i gonna apt-get it without a connection? :( | 10:27 |
| StevenX | davmonster, all of them. | 10:28 |
| BonezAU | earthling, yes that is true. the problem is that i have disabled some kind of service at boot which prevents the wireless from working | 10:28 |
| davmonster | StevenX: might help to clarify | 10:28 |
| NET||abuse | rrrr,,, ok, nothing shows up in messages, dmesg has no timestamps so i don't know when anything is arrising. | 10:28 |
| johannes_ | hateball thanks a lot ill have a look | 10:28 |
| jim_p | BonezAU, wired maybe? | 10:28 |
| Erant | I've currently got an Ubuntu Hardy Heron install on my system, but I need devfs, is it even remotely possible to downgrade to a devfs kernel? | 10:28 |

| Omar87 | Is this a correct command to play a sound clip backwards? cat ~/my.mp3 rev | /dev/audio | 10:29 |
| Unknown0BC | jim_p, will disabling that still mean that hibernate will work, but without the screenlock when it comes out of hibernate ? | 10:29 |
| davmonster | StevenX: if you are looking for performance, try a more minimal windowmanager like blackbox or fluxbox | 10:29 |
| BonezAU | jim_p, thanks - but no thanks! if I can get NM working then i'll be more than happy to try WICD | 10:29 |
| jim_p | Unknown0BC, i can assure you about the screen lock, i cant assure you about the hibernate | 10:29 |
| davmonster | StevenX: I usually find this improves responsiveness noticably on lower range hardware | 10:29 |

| Unknown0BC | atieventsd is not intalled on this system jim_p. | 10:32 |
| jim_p | Unknown0BC, how did you check? in fact, how did you install fglrx, if you did so? | 10:33 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | so by just going to /usr/sbin/sshd after generating ssh keys, that would start the ssh serveR ? | 10:33 |
| Tch23 | I got two sound cards (internal and USB). I got the USB as default and I got sound... But the sound level is mad! I can't set it, cause it goes up n down. The left becomes independant of the right... I'm puzzled | 10:34 |
| hischild | DJ_HaMsTa, a bit of the story would be nice. Anyway, this restarts an SSH server. --> sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart | 10:34 |
| hischild | Tch23, use alsamixer on command line. | 10:34 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | hischild: just looking at http://www.offensive-security.com/movies/01intro/01intro.html | 10:34 |

| ikonia | Ximal as I understand this config you've just setup, its saying use tor as a proxy for EVERYTHING except 127.0.0.01 or .local domains | 12:06 |
| neko | ikonia, something like that : umask XXX /some/folder ? | 12:06 |
| ikonia | Ximal: so when you hit the net over http iot wants to use tor (as it's non local) as a http proxy | 12:06 |
| ikonia | neko: just umask xxx should do it for the user | 12:07 |
| Ximal | ok... well i don't understand this if u'd walk me through the fix.. | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Ximal: does that make sese | 12:07 |
| Ximal | i understand that the ip routing is contradicting if that's what u mean.. | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Ximal: let me work out the fie, your going to have to put a rule in that no_proxy enviornment that says something like " 0.0.0.0 or *.canonical or whatever your synaptic repo address is | 12:08 |

| fermio91 | hi all i've a problem with my pendrive... i cannot modify any files inside the stick or create a new one (files inside the stick)... | 12:12 |
| Ximal | u tried using chmod 777 on tht drive fermio91 ? | 12:12 |
| ikonia | fermio91 is the file system fat 32 ? | 12:12 |
| fermio91 | Ximal: no, i won't use it, i would use the simple file manager to open it | 12:13 |
| fermio91 | Ximal: as i done before | 12:13 |

| BonezAU | none of my usb devices are working. can anyone help?\ | 12:14 |
| fermio91 | ikonia: it worked some days ago... | 12:14 |
| marks730 | why the ssh permitrootlogin is yes when i change my ubuntu password - sudo passwd root ?? | 12:15 |
| BonezAU | marks730, root is disabled by default. if you enable it; it also enables shh | 12:15 |
| BonezAU | marks730, ssh rather | 12:15 |
| BonezAU | marks730, logging in as root is frowned apon, you should always use sudo where possible | 12:16 |
| === soso is now known as sosoriri | ||
| marks730 | yes- it's by default - and when i change first time - sudo passwd root - then ssh config make changes.. | 12:16 |

| ikonia | psicobra: emblems ? what do you mean | 12:34 |
| ikonia | peleg: what do you mean by emblems if not the icons | 12:34 |
| gnutron | peleg: you should be able to click the +/-% to the left of 'view as whatever' bar. | 12:35 |
| peleg | ikonia, there's a folder, and you can stick (in Gnome) an emblem on it, such as "Erase", "Art", and so on | 12:36 |

| peleg | ikonia, or just do F9 in Nautilus, and on the left bar choose Emblems. You can then drag them on an icon | 12:45 |
| keystr0k | ikonia, is this something I can change? | 12:46 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, so if i can get to that share, why else wouldnt it work? :S | 12:46 |

| ikonia | fograven so why are you re-installing your nvidai dirvers ? | 12:56 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, ive changed it around a bit, think its working | 12:56 |

| ikonia | rev667: yup, boot the livecd, download another to the desktop, then burn itr | 12:57 |

| fograven | this is the first time I got that alert/warning | 12:57 |
| rev667 | tried that | 12:57 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: look at the permissions on that device | 12:57 |
| ikonia | rev667: what's the problem ? | 12:57 |
| fivetwentysix | rev667: Rip the CD in to a ISO and then burn using that image you created. | 12:57 |
| rev667 | it won't allow me access to the cd | 12:57 |
| fograven | that libc dev package was missing | 12:57 |
| fograven | do I need it? | 12:57 |
| ikonia | fograven why are you re-installing your nvidia drivers to fix the sound/ | 12:57 |
| fivetwentysix | rev667, the cd has to be blank... | 12:58 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, how do i do it? | 12:58 |

| Robbie_Crash | gnutron I don't have 800+GB of space on a remote box. Tarring it up over the network is nope too since I'm only on wireless here. | 12:59 |
| Robbie_Crash | I guess it's not a huge issue, since even non-compressed it doesn't fill up my external, and I only use the external for backups | 12:59 |
| [c0re] | NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied). | 12:59 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, how do i do it? | 12:59 |
| rev667 | i can't eject the live cd while running it, which kinda makes sense, but still leaves me with an unbootable system | 12:59 |
| gnutron | Robbie_Crash: depending on the file formats, you may not get much compression. unless the are text files. | 12:59 |
| AdvoWork | how do you use rsync if you need to put a username, and a host, and a password? ive done the user and hosts like: $username@$host: but unsure about password? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | [c0re] look at the permissons on /dev//dev/nvidiactl | 13:00 |
| Newb`s | [c0re]: cd /dev/ && ls -lh | 13:00 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork password is tough, I don't think you can pass a password | 13:00 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: thought you had to use keys or null password accounts | 13:01 |
| Robbie_Crash | gnutron Someone in here was saying the other night they knocked about 15GB off of 150 of normal data, movies, mp3s, pictures, etc... | 13:01 |
| Robbie_Crash | So I figured I'd try... an 80GB savings would be nice, but not if it's going to turn a 7 hour job into a 5 day job | 13:01 |
| Newb`s | [c0re]: cd /dev/ && ls -lh | grep nvidiactl | 13:01 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, ive seen something like password-file=location but unsure | 13:01 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork you could possible get it to auth against a samba file format ? | 13:02 |

| AdvoWork | ikonia, how do you do that? | 13:03 |
| gnutron | Robbie_Crash: mp3s are compressed to start with, but those figures may be accurate. to an extent | 13:03 |
| [c0re] | Newb`s, ikonia 0 crw------- | 13:03 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork no idea, but as samba is rsync's family I'm making an assumption, not fact | 13:03 |
| Newb`s | [c0re]: k, wait plz | 13:03 |
| Robbie_Crash | gnutron still not worth it | 13:03 |
| Robbie_Crash | no compression is good enough | 13:04 |
| [c0re] | Newb`s, if i run sudo chmod go+rw /dev/nvidia*... its works but i have to do it every restart | 13:04 |
| Newb`s | hum | 13:05 |
| gnutron | AdvoWork: heres my rsync for one directory ifit helps. rsync -avz Music/ linux@192.168.1.101:Music thats local box to remote box. | 13:05 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: thats because of udev | 13:05 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, how do i fix it? | 13:05 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: change the udev rules | 13:05 |
| [c0re] | how do i do it? | 13:06 |
| gnutron | Robbie_Crash: i would connect a slave drive or external and copy | 13:06 |
| AdvoWork | gnutron, cheers, did that ever need a password? | 13:06 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: the rules are in /etc/udev.d | 13:06 |
| kouwe | folks i have a problem, i have a fresh installation of ubuntu 8.10. Only when i put my ATI graphic pci-e card in slot it hangs on boot... Error rc-default 255 .. someone pls | 13:07 |
| gnutron | AdvoWork: yes, it will ask for the destination user's pass | 13:07 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, what should i add there? | 13:07 |
| AdvoWork | gnutron, i need to automate that.. ive seen --password-file=... but cant see how to use it | 13:07 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: look at the rules that control that device and change the permissions on it | 13:07 |
| gnutron | AdvoWork: google rsync, ive seen some good pages on that. | 13:08 |
| uberadm | I want to tell ubuntu not to look for an eth0 ip addy during startup... what config file do I change? | 13:09 |
| Robbie_Crash | gnutron it's already going over to an external. I really don't currently *need* the compression, so I'm going to ignore it for now. | 13:09 |
| ardaking | -it | 13:10 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, KERNEL=="nvidia*", NAME="%k", GROUP="c0re" | 13:10 |
| gnutron | Robbie_Crash: by the time you compressed, they could be copied, the problem is available drives/media etc., good luck tho' | 13:11 |
| gnutron | AdvoWork: http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html ....this has what you need. | 13:13 |
| [c0re] | NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied). | 13:14 |

| neko | i need 664 and 775 | 13:21 |
| gnutron | asfjio: try using a different mirror | 13:21 |

| ikonia | rookeeeeeeeee I was just about to say it's in the konqueror package | 13:28 |
| thiebaude | rookeeeeeeeee: did you enable all your repositories? | 13:28 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | yes thiebaude | 13:29 |
| thiebaude | kewl | 13:29 |
| gnutron | rookeeeeeeeee: it looks to be a very old KDE package, a buggy one at that. | 13:29 |
| Toznoshio | rookeeeeeeeee, kfmclient is the technical name for konqueror | 13:29 |
| gnutron | rookeeeeeeeee: konqueror is kinda cool, it does fish: | 13:30 |
| asfjio | rrecio: i tried two different mirrors and again the same problem. another thing that i see is "Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." this message. | 13:30 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | well im trying to set up torK perhaps this is a bad idea | 13:30 |
| Toznoshio | asfjio, is it a non-Ubuntu repository that gives you the error? | 13:31 |
| rrecio | asfjio: the index files failed to download because the mirrors may be broken | 13:31 |
| Orbur | h | 13:31 |
| asfjio | Toznoshio: no, i don't think so. i get the mirrors from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors | 13:32 |

| scunizi | afancy, ?? what kind of video card? do you know? | 14:26 |
| Ximal | what kind of laptop ... how old ? | 14:26 |
| TuxSympathiser | ximal just over a year old | 14:27 |
| TuxSympathiser | ximal, could it be the killer ethernet bug reported the other month? | 14:27 |
| Ximal | ethernet bug ? | 14:27 |
| scunizi | that's been fixed | 14:27 |
| TuxSympathiser | ximal, yeah with e1000e | 14:27 |
| gnutron | hipitihop: use the intel, thats onboard sound chip, open controls and un-mute and set levels | 14:27 |
| Ximal | the only way it would blow up is if u didn't disconnect the battery and then unplug it to keep the prcessor from o/h | 14:28 |
| hipitihop | gnutron: second device 'Analog Devices AD1985 (OSS...)' | 14:28 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunizi, but ubuntu was freezing only with ethernet connected and when I unplugged the ac from the laptop | 14:28 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunzi, it didn't freeze though when connected by wireless?? | 14:28 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunzi, so could that be why, the killer e1000e bug? | 14:29 |
| thief` | anyone know a good place to find ebooks on ubuntu? | 14:29 |
| TuxSympathiser | and now my lappy is a hole in my desk :-( | 14:29 |

| scunizi | TuxSympathiser, if it was the "killer ethernet" bug your wired nic wouldn't work at all. | 14:29 |
| gnutron | hipitihop: try both, i wish i could be more specific. | 14:29 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunzi, well it doesn't now LOL | 14:29 |

| wjoyce | ? | 14:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wjoyce Try patience | 14:30 |
| hipitihop | gnutron: what are options in the second list, like 'Master, Master Mono, PCM' should these be selected also ? | 14:30 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunizi, did the e1000e bug kill the ethernet streight away or over a period of time due to usage? | 14:31 |
| scunizi | thief`, http://www.scribd.com/ | 14:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | wjoyce did you then apt-get update? | 14:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | scunizi Please dont support his ot in here | 14:31 |
| esenoy | how can I remove a rebel module from the kernel? Console says that it is in use, but i've blacklisted it... | 14:31 |
| gnutron | hipitihop: yes, set those levels up high, especially master and pcm | 14:31 |
| wjoyce | Jack_Sparrow: no i didn't, shall I run that in terminal? | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wjoyce yes | 14:32 |
| wjoyce | Jack_Sparrow: thank you | 14:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo apt-get update | 14:32 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunizi, so is it likely that the system lock ups are harmless to the hardware? | 14:32 |
| hipitihop | gnutron: I don't mean in the levels, but in the speaker icon preferences | 14:32 |
| wjoyce | ubuntu 8.10 is really impressive | 14:32 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunizi they only seem to happen when I unplug/ plug in ac during or before I receive a lot of data such as downloading a file would cause a lock up | 14:33 |
| scunizi | Jack_Sparrow, I haven't been on long enough to know if he's been abusing it.. I didn't see a problem asking about online ubuntu references like an ebook. It was non specific and not a "what's the best, mostest etc".. | 14:34 |
| MatBoy | is it not possible to make softraid on the 8.10 cd anymore ? | 14:34 |
| scunizi | TuxSympathiser, could be.. I really don't know.. | 14:34 |
| gnutron | hipitihop: when you right click, choose open controls, check the controls, if that doesnt work, change device and try controls again. | 14:34 |
| nelson_ | hello | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scunizi It was not for ubuntu ebooks... | 14:34 |
| gnutron | hipitihop: it takes toying with but it'll work eventually. | 14:35 |
| TuxSympathiser | scunizi, hmm ubuntu devs have a way ith breaking things that use to work perfectly in previous versions! | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TuxSympathiser please keep your comments to yourself | 14:35 |
| nelson_ | where are you from? | 14:35 |
| wjoyce | Jack_Sparrow: terminal returned this "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch" | 14:35 |
| scunizi | Jack_Sparrow, Here's the direct quote from above.. the one I answered "anyone know a good place to find ebooks on ubuntu?" I read that as about ebooks for ubuntu | 14:36 |
| TuxSympathiser | Jack_Sparrow, they're linux devs not MS devs | 14:36 |
| TuxSympathiser | Jack_Sparrow, there is no plause in the EULA saying you are not about to bitch about ubuntu devs :-) | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TuxSympathiser this is the support room.. for ubuntu... | 14:37 |
| hipitihop | gnutron: awesome you are a champion. One of the setting using the Intel device had option 'Exchange Front/Surrond' ticked.. turned it off and I have sound. Although I have loud buzzing/ringing | 14:37 |

| iSchadow | ubottu: I already did the whole guide through to configure my touchpad, but I saw the "xinput"... does it do the same as gsynaptics? Would it be wise/unwise to install both at once? | 14:40 |

| nelson_ | who chat with me ? | 14:40 |
| hipitihop | gnutron: yip that helps but not totally gone. as you say, have to play around. I now know enough to be dangerous. thanks | 14:41 |

| Ximal | is there any way to skin the panels at top and bottom ... such as add text to it or something without making it into a wanda type frame ? | 14:42 |
| NuKKleZ | any suggestions on what the best dvd ripper is? | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mobodo # If you want the latest release, then you need to compile it yourself or see if a deb for Ubuntu is available. It will not show up in the repos.. Only critical bug fixes are applied to the current released versions | 14:42 |

| duvet | how do i install lilo? | 14:49 |
| jrib | iDevil: blender is nice (and free!) so if you don't mind learning how to use a new program, it's a good alternative | 14:49 |
| jb-firefoxx | blender is great | 14:49 |
| scunizi | iDevil, time to learn something new :) | 14:49 |
| iDevil | *nods | 14:49 |

| === Guest59652 is now known as TigRa | ||
| gnutron | duvet: GRUB may not like xfs, ext3 is preferred. I would avoid lilo. keep asking. | 14:50 |
| iDevil | just curious.. sudo apt-cache search packname << correct format for searching? | 14:50 |
| scunizi | Toznoshio, I never knew that you could do that in FF with Apt.. | 14:51 |
| gnutron | iDevil: correct | 14:51 |
| duvet | why avoid lilo? | 14:51 |
| iDevil | thanks | 14:51 |
| jrib | iDevil: sudo isn't needed | 14:51 |
| Speppa | How I can burn a mdf/mds image cd file on k3b? | 14:51 |
| Toznoshio | scunizi, that's apturl at work there | 14:51 |
| Ian_Corne | duvet: make a /boot partition as ext3 and use zfs for your / | 14:51 |
| duvet | ok | 14:51 |
| gnutron | duvet: ubuntu uses grub as deault, i havent used lilo since the redhat days. | 14:51 |
| duvet | :) | 14:52 |
| gnutron | duvet: default rather | 14:52 |
| duvet | instead of lilo? | 14:52 |
| scunizi | Speppa, I think you have to convert it to an iso | 14:53 |
| gnutron | duvet: correct | 14:53 |
| duvet | ok thanks | 14:53 |
| iSchadow | can anyone help me get my screen brightness buttons working on my laptop, in 8.10? | 14:53 |
| gnutron | !grub > duvet | 14:53 |
| ubottu | duvet, please see my private message | 14:53 |
| Ian_Corne | ubuntu using grub by default makes it easier when you have kernel updates, they adapt the menu.list for you :) | 14:54 |
| Speppa | scunizi, ok thanks | 14:54 |
| gnutron | someone convince me upgrading from hardy to intrepid isnt premature!? | 14:55 |
| rjune | depends on what you need. | 14:56 |
| scunizi | gnutron, if you are having issues with hardy, sometimes intrepid can fix it.. it did with me.. | 14:56 |
| Ian_Corne | i'm using intrepid because i like to know that i'm using the latest versions of software | 14:56 |
| gnutron | i've never had dist-upgrade problems since ubuntu's inception, but intrepid scares me and hardy works perfectly. | 14:57 |
| Ian_Corne | i'll be using the alpha 4/5 of jaunty too | 14:57 |
| scunizi | gnutron, if hardy works don't fix it.. | 14:57 |
| gnutron | Ian_Corne: thanks for the input. | 14:57 |
| AdvoWork | i know with rsync and ssh you can do rsync ssh i and use a file for a ssh key, but what about without using ssh? | 14:57 |
| gnutron | scunizi: thanks | 14:57 |
| frostburn | i'm using intrepid because i know it's not the latest, but the most stable of the latest... | 14:57 |
| frostburn | running on the bleeding edge hemorrhages... | 14:57 |
| AdvoWork | ie if im doing: rsync -a -u "$FileName" $username@$host:$Backup_locationConfigLocal but i need to pass the key from the ssh file | 14:58 |
| leafw | any ideas why bluetooth applet may show the "Browse device" greyed out? I have the hardware switch on, bluetooth enabled in the BIOS, and enabled in the session and in the services. I even did sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart, to no avail | 14:58 |
| leafw | bluetooth worked fine a few weeks ago. | 14:58 |
| scunizi | gnutron, unless you really like living on the edge :).. but if you actually use the machine for work or something important... stay where you're at. | 14:58 |
| five_ | can someone help me with setting up a wpa tkip peap connection | 14:59 |
| gnutron | scunizi: the edge is good :) multiple boxes means lots of tweaking though :) | 14:59 |
| mikevankuik | can anyone help me with my script and getting it to run @boot time? :( pls? | 14:59 |
| scunizi | gnutron, with lots of boxes you gotta have at least one for a test bed.. right? ..( just trying to help you find an excuse to upgrade) | 15:00 |
| tiyowan | gnutron: I came over to intrepid a week ago from winxp. Had to do some tweaking, but I'm *very* pleased with the results. | 15:00 |
| gnutron | scunizi: thats precisely what i need, a little pushing, thanks | 15:01 |
| * scunizi jumps up and down | 15:01 | |
| tiyowan | gnutron: Just upgrade over the weekend. :-) | 15:01 |
| mikevankuik | I can run the script from its folder but ubuntu won't accept it in its startup file :S | 15:02 |
| c9s | hi all, is there any recommended wave editor ? | 15:02 |
| iSchadow | anyone know a temperature monitor app for linux? | 15:02 |
| tiyowan | c9s...maybe audacity? | 15:02 |
| gnutron | c9s: audacity i believe | 15:02 |
| Ximal | would i need to reboot after uninstalling tor and it's subsidaries ? | 15:03 |
| tiyowan | iSchadow: Yeah....either use Conky or there is a CPU temp. monitor applet available which you can put on your panel.\ | 15:03 |
| bastid_raZor | iSchadow; lm-sensors will be the program needed. then you could use something like conky or the sensor appelt for your toolbar | 15:03 |
| jxander | if i copy some text from an application and then i close the application, i lose the copied text. why? | 15:03 |
| jxander | under xfce | 15:03 |
| matic_ | why would my Hardy refuse to mount drives like flash, cd/dvd and ntfs partition? | 15:04 |
| iSchadow | I just need something to monitor my cpu/gpu once in a while | 15:04 |
| iSchadow | Im-sensors? | 15:04 |
| rjune | lmsensors | 15:04 |
| c9s | thanks :) | 15:04 |
| rjune | that's an L, not an I | 15:04 |
| bullgard4 | In Gutsy Ubuntu provided a package 'linhdd'. Why does Ubuntu not provide it in Hardy any more? | 15:04 |
| tiyowan | iSchadow: The cpu temp applet should do the trick. But I think Conky's much better if you've got some time to tweak around. It monitors *everything*. :-) | 15:04 |
| heinrich | hddtemp | 15:04 |
| kwtm | If I want to see who has been trying to connect to my computer (e.g. SSH into a certain port), which log file do I check under /var/logs? | 15:05 |
| bullgard4 | matic_: Because you played with Hardy and misconfigured it. | 15:05 |
| tiyowan | iSchadow: Here's some of the stuff you can do with conky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky | 15:06 |
| iSchadow | tiyowan: will it also let me raise the tolerated temps? | 15:06 |
| gnutron | Ximal: restarting x may be useful, a hard boot isn't likely needed. | 15:06 |
| gnutron | kwtm: /var/log/auth.log | 15:06 |
| Ximal | thanks gnutron .. i got 12 minutes left on an episode of friday night lights ... and then i'll be doing it.. | 15:07 |
| mikevankuik | anyone here who can help me with my non starting at boot script?:( | 15:07 |
| tiyowan | iSchadow: I don't think so. Conky is a system monitor I believe. If you're running the dell inspiron 8000 series, you could use the i8kutils package to manage your CPU fans and temp. | 15:07 |
| Ximal | btw restarting x is /etc/init.d/xorg restart ? | 15:07 |
| matic_ | bullgard4, you are right, what might I have tampered with? | 15:08 |
| iSchadow | well most of my hardware is intel | 15:08 |
| gnutron | Ximal: negative, if using gnome, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart or ctrl+alt+backspace might work. | 15:08 |
| bastid_raZor | tiyowan; iSchadow the actual package name is lm-sensors | 15:08 |
| Ximal | i'm using basic ubuntu gui | 15:08 |
| kwtm | gnutron: Thanks. I just checked, and I don't find any entries where I tried to SSH in from another computer. What network-related thing can I do to make sure something shows up in the log? | 15:08 |
| bastid_raZor | Ximal; replace xorg with gdm and that will also make X restart | 15:08 |
| iSchadow | bastid_raZor: can't find it with apt-get?? | 15:09 |
| tiyowan | Ok folks, here's an interesting problem. The other day someone had trouble booting from an intrepid install on a usb. An error kept coming, "Stale NFS lock". I've been searching for it but I can't find any info. Has anyone ever encountered this before? | 15:09 |
| gnutron | Ximal: gksudo /etc/init.d/gdm from the gui or sudo from a terminal | 15:09 |
| kwtm | gnutron: for example, could I say "telnet localhost:25" --would that then show up in /var/log/auth.log for sure, to make sure I'm looking at the right log? | 15:09 |
| Ximal | thanks bastid_raZor.. | 15:09 |
| ikonia | tiyowan soundsl ike they made the image from a box that was running NFS | 15:09 |
| ikonia | Ximal: no joy with tor so far, | 15:09 |
| gnutron | kwtm: i would say yes | 15:09 |
| Ximal | it's ok.. | 15:10 |
| jtaji | Kwitschibo: the syntax would be telnet localhost 25 | 15:10 |
| Ximal | i'm going to reinstall tor once i reboot x | 15:10 |
| Ximal | and then i'm going to install tork first | 15:10 |
| jtaji | kwtm: the syntax would be telnet localhost 25 | 15:10 |
| gnutron | kwtm: /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog are useful also | 15:10 |
| bastid_raZor | iSchadow; http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=lm-sensors&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all | 15:10 |
| Ximal | as i haven't done this completely yet... i think it would be pertint to have people install tork as a primary function when installing tor | 15:10 |
| bullgard4 | matic_: Please check first the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'. Secondly, check the output of 'mount'. May be you will find some abnormal lines there and get an idea why. | 15:11 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: I checked out NFS, from what I read on the man page, it's a network file share right? My question is, how would one go about fixing it? I mean is there a kernel option to ignore NFS shares or something? There's a cmd fileshareset, but I don't know. I'm just curious as to how one would fix something like this. | 15:11 |
| kwtm | gnutron, jtaji: Wow, it did show up. (I did "ssh localhost -p 22".) But none of my other attempts did. Okay, that helps me debug. Thanks. | 15:11 |
| bastid_raZor | iSchadow; hardy-proposed repo's is where it is. if you're using hardy | 15:11 |
| iSchadow | bastid_raZor: I'm using ibex and I have enabled all repos but I still can't find it there | 15:11 |

| gnutron | kwtm: in a term use sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log to watch as the file is written in real time | 15:12 |
| Ximal | why would u want internet explorer ? | 15:12 |
| iSchadow | nauticalthinker: question, why IE? | 15:12 |

| nauticalthinker | It's working great, but there's a huge memory leak | 15:13 |
| iSchadow | nauticalthinker: you can download an IE addon for firefox | 15:13 |
| ikonia | nauticalthinker: so what do you want ubuntu do to about it ? | 15:13 |
| nauticalthinker | just asking if any of you have seen this and discovered a workaround or fix | 15:13 |
| scunizi | nauticalthinker, there's ie4linux out there.. but it's mostly for testing web pages etc.. it won't allow you to use sites that are explicitly designed for ie6+ | 15:13 |
| nauticalthinker | that is what I used ie4linux | 15:13 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: I'm going afk, send me a pm if you can think of something or provide any links to resources. Thanks in advance. | 15:13 |
| ikonia | tiyowan: links on what ? | 15:13 |
| kwtm | gnutron: Good idea. Thanks. But now I need my wife's computer to see if a computer can connect from within my LAN, and if it can, then it's my router blocking the SSH attempt. <sigh> I hate debugging this DD-WRT router. :P | 15:14 |
| kwtm | gnutron: will debug later. THx for help. | 15:14 |
| zetix | hello | 15:14 |
| ikonia | tiyowan: are you having this problem - as you said it was someone else | 15:14 |
| Toznoshio | nauticalthinker, use the user agent switcher FF addon | 15:14 |
| gnutron | kwtm: i use dd-wrt its great | 15:14 |
| scunizi | nauticalthinker, a lot of times the agent switcher in FF doesn't work because of the asp and directx that's involved with some sites.. I solved this by installing windows in virtualbox | 15:15 |
| kwtm | gnutron: DD-WRT: lots of features, but user interface can be confusing. (Why is port forwarding under "gaming"!??) Anyway, see ya! | 15:15 |

| LjL | esenoy: which modules is it anyway | 15:21 |
| bravo | wat is difference between sudo apt-get and sudo aptitude ??? | 15:22 |

| mikevankuik | bravo: aptitude is a gui :) apt-get not :P | 15:22 |
| danub | how can i browse data on a tape then? | 15:22 |
| Ximal | now i'm getting a connection refused error when trying to use synaptics ikonia ... | 15:22 |
| ikonia | danub you don't browser it, it's an archive device, what's on it depends how it was written | 15:22 |
| danub | tar is what they used to compress it and put it on the tape | 15:23 |
| gnutron | bravo: they say aptitude deals with dependancies better than apt-get for starters | 15:23 |
| esenoy | LjL: I compiled it from source, but works very bad | 15:23 |
| dalekleader | scunizi: yes, I use vbox as well...but this always worked in the past and I have to remain compatible with the field | 15:23 |
| LjL | esenoy: so not rt61pci? | 15:23 |
| esenoy | LjL: now I can't unload it | 15:23 |
| LjL | danub: then you use tar | 15:23 |
| danub | i just wanna be able to zgrep it and see if the file i am looking for is on the tape without having to run tar | 15:23 |
| scunizi | dalekleader, have you checked #vmware? at least I think that's the channel | 15:23 |
| LjL | danub: for instance, tar f /dev/whateverthetapeiscalled | 15:23 |
| danub | what is the f do? | 15:23 |
| esenoy | LjL: and blacklist it don't seems to work | 15:23 |
| mikevankuik | bravo: I use aptitude if I don't know the correct name of a package :) if I do I just use apt-get :) | 15:24 |

| scunizi | dalekleader, vmware services are alway running in the background.. that's one of the differences with vbox.. if vmware has been setup to start on boot and load a vm.. it's quite possible that's what's grabbing the usb.. if you have a different machine you should be able to connect to the vmware server if you have the "shortcut link" | 15:29 |

| iSchadow | why doesn't Im-sensors show up anywhere in my system? | 15:48 |
| fivetwentysix | jolter, stick with 32-bit, 64-bit applications tend to use more memory since their long variables can hold much larger numbers which means taking up much more memory even if it's not being fully used | 15:48 |

| rafting | scunizi: after I got it working? so how o I get it working int he first place? the thing is I cant even figure iout what I need to fix so it is impossible to get somewhere | 15:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fivetwentysix good point that I had not considered | 15:48 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: yeah i will do so :) | 15:48 |
| n8tuser | rafting-> what type of wifi interface? usb dongle? what chip it uses? <-- you have not responded to this | 15:49 |
| scunizi | rafting, others have ask you questions about what kind of wireless device it is etc.. without response.. maybe they will come back.. I don't have answers for you.. | 15:49 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: I would like to install ubuntu 8.10 on my mothers HP 6715s laptop but it does not work @ all :( | 15:49 |
| fivetwentysix | Although Linux has come a way to supporting 64-bit through a long and bumpy road, I think 64-bit has much less complications | 15:49 |
| recon69 | Hideme_: well since i went to 8.04 and pluseaudio my sound cut out for a couple of seconds every hour or so and about one a week it stops totally saying my device is busy(have to kill pulse audio process and restart app to get sound again). check the ubuntu forums and you'll find more info | 15:49 |
| gnutron | iSchadow: not Im it's lm-sensors, and i think you need an applet to interface w/lm-sensors. | 15:49 |
| fivetwentysix | That it did before.. | 15:50 |
| fivetwentysix | jolter why not? | 15:50 |
| AdvoWork | jrib, rm -r test/{*,.*} gives: rm: cannot remove `.' or `..' | 15:50 |

| jolter | fivetwentysix: I really dont know but i've been doing some readings about hp laptops and linux and that it's a bad combination but I dont know if that's true | 15:50 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: yep, those are the errors you ignore... | 15:50 |
| AdvoWork | ahh i see | 15:51 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: but the PcLinuxOS did work on that laptop though | 15:51 |

| recon69 | n8tuser: unfortunately the network problems i'm having stop me from logging into secure sites and posting to paste bin :( , been driving me crazy for months now | 15:51 |

| fivetwentysix | yeah? | 15:52 |
| Ximal | jrib: no | 15:52 |
| rdw200169 | Ximal: packages.ubuntu.com too, but that's a pain | 15:52 |
| recon69 | jolter: have you tested the CD to make sure there are no error on it? | 15:52 |
| jrib | Ximal: yes... did you mean something different than what you asked? | 15:52 |
| Toznoshio | Ximal, would torbutton-extension work fr you alternatively? | 15:52 |
| n8tuser | recon69-> what other network problems you have? | 15:52 |
| Ximal | no it did not Toznoshio | 15:52 |

| fivetwentysix | jolter, 8.10 is much more polished and has much better hardware support | 15:53 |
| n8tuser | recon69-> besides pastebin is not a secure site to paste.. | 15:54 |
| fivetwentysix | jolter, you should give it a try. | 15:54 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: yeah i'm going to burn 8.10 right now | 15:54 |
| fivetwentysix | jolter, my same computer im using now use to have wireless conflicts, graphic card glitches, and tons of other issues | 15:54 |
| Toznoshio | nesakysiu, cuetools ? | 15:54 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: ok | 15:55 |
| fivetwentysix | jolter, I just switched back to Ubuntu from Vista and I think my hair isnt turning gray | 15:55 |
| recon69 | n8tuser: even so, I can not currently use it, I just hangs and does nothing, I'l try pasteinit | 15:55 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: haha :D | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vista is too bloated | 15:55 |
| nesakysiu | Toznoshio where can i find it? | 15:55 |
| reduz | help! ubuntu doesn't let me change my IP to static in the network config window.. it stays with the dhcp assigned IP, how do i change it? :( | 15:55 |
| fivetwentysix | ActionParsnip, /agree, I wanted to pick up programming again | 15:55 |
| Toznoshio | nesakysiu, apt-get install cuetools | 15:55 |
| scunizi | reduz, click the unlock button before trying | 15:56 |
| fivetwentysix | ActionParsnip, But Vista has too many libraries they force you to use and makes compiling shit in that environment such a mess | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | reduz: try a different app or you can manually code it in /etc/network/interfaces | 15:56 |
| AlexOnRuby | woo | 15:56 |
| AlexOnRuby | lots of ppl | 15:56 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: well in about 10 minutes i'm gonna give that laptop another try | 15:56 |
| reduz | scunizi, what unlock buttun? i don't see anything | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | fivetwentysix: ive not coded under vista, ive made dos apps only :) | 15:56 |
| reduz | ActionParsnip, but why a different app? it's supposed to be this one, i mean i go change the network to static IP and set everything fine, but the ip doesn't change when i close the window | 15:57 |
| fivetwentysix | I installed Direct X with Wine lol | 15:57 |
| scunizi | reduz, go to System>Admin>network and change things there.. that's where the unlock button is. | 15:57 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: Ubuntu 8.10 works really well on my Toshiba Tecra computer :) | 15:57 |
| AlexOnRuby | hello i am a vista user who begins to hate windows really bad. .. can i install ubuntu on one of my windows partition ? | 15:57 |
| AlexOnRuby | :D | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip | reduz: ive never used apps like that, i just set it with the config file (im old school) | 15:57 |
| jolter | fivetwentysix: even though the computer is old :) | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexOnRuby: you could use a VM | 15:57 |
| reduz | scunizi, there's no such thing as System > Admin > Network | 15:58 |
| reduz | scunizi, only network tools | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexOnRuby: or dual boot | 15:58 |
| Toznoshio | AlexOnRuby, google wubi | 15:58 |
| AlexOnRuby | ok | 15:58 |
| AlexOnRuby | tx | 15:58 |
| fivetwentysix | AlexOnRuby, Sure, but you need a partition plan because Linux doesn't run off NTFS devices. | 15:58 |
| Hideme_ | recon69 I killed it.... but how were you restarting it? | 15:58 |
| scunizi | reduz, ah.. I'm on hardy. you must be on intrepid.. I don't know if it's in the repos but. sudo apt-get install nm-appellate.. or do it by hand like it was mentioned before. | 15:59 |
| fivetwentysix | I personally don't see how people can bother dual booting.. | 15:59 |
| n8tuser | reduz-> it may not be in your menu, but you can gksu network-admin & | 15:59 |
| fivetwentysix | Vista isn't that bad to make me want to dual boot with Linux... | 15:59 |
| error404notfound | how can I check if my connections are being going throw a transparent squid proxy? | 15:59 |
| reduz | scunizi, E: Couldn't find package nm-appellat | 15:59 |
| recon69 | n8tuser: no, pastebinit wont work either :( | 15:59 |
| scunizi | fivetwentysix, only if you're into games or have an absolute need for an app that only exists in win. | 15:59 |
| reduz | scunizi, sounds too difficult to do by hand | 15:59 |
| eth01 | netstat -tl | 15:59 |

| urbands | applet | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | scunizi: i game on all my linux machines | 16:00 |
| badawi | error404notfound: stop squid | 16:00 |
| Toznoshio | error404notfound, use a site called what is my ip address | 16:00 |
| fivetwentysix | scunizi: Solved, just install directx with wine... | 16:00 |
| dimebar | the only reason i dual boot is counterstrike | 16:00 |
| reduz | scunizi, also why doesn't the ubuntu network settings window work? isn't it a serious bug? | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dimebar: CS runs great in wine | 16:00 |
| error404notfound | Toznoshio: that will give me my live ip address, what if proxy is running on the gateway.. | 16:00 |
| scunizi | fivetwentysix, so you got directx to install.. doesn't mean the games will run | 16:00 |
| poss | :) | 16:00 |
| dimebar | ActionParsnip: it does but my usb headset doesnt :p | 16:01 |
| n8tuser | recon69-> well, if you have such a complex networking, perhaps you are an advance user and should be able to resolve this yourself | 16:01 |
| === poss is now known as anas | ||

| rjune | fivetwentysix, power. | 16:02 |
| rjune | libraries | 16:02 |
| scunizi | bullgard4, you have to ask the dev's about that.. maybe there's another package that's replaced it. | 16:02 |

| daleklea1er | Q: I have 2 pc's (Xubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 8.10) i am trying to get synergy to work but each machine has a different version. How do you get access to the same packages? | 16:02 |

| dimebar | ActionParsnip: when my current one dies i may do but i can tolerate 2 or 3 boots to windows a week | 16:03 |
| n8tuser | recon69-> the way you have mumbled earlier, you made it sound so complex, | 16:03 |
| fivetwentysix | All I play is DotA/War3, that works with my operating system. | 16:03 |
| scunizi | fivetwentysix, good luck.. if it was that easy then winehq would have to rate different programs as to their functionality | 16:03 |
| fivetwentysix | scunizi: Wine ratings are based on how apps work with wine libs ... | 16:03 |
| bastid_raZor | daleklea1er; it is possible to enable the backports in 8.04 to get some of the 8.10 packages but that isn't always true. | 16:03 |
| LjL | bullgard4: most likely just because debian dropped it | 16:03 |
| fivetwentysix | scunizi: If you import Windows libs, it's like cheating. | 16:04 |

| bastid_raZor | daleklea1er; it would attempt to upgrade what packages are in the backports. you could try to just upgrade a specific package without doing a full update | 16:07 |
| obi_ | can anyone point me in the direction of a good opensource PDF converter. or better still, tell me how to do it with the software that comes with ubuntu | 16:08 |
| bastid_raZor | daleklea1er; you have the option of allowing it to update them or not to. | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | habit: lots. my gues would be a few Tb's | 16:08 |
| recon69 | Hideme_: it'll restart itself, just restart the app you want sound from | 16:08 |
| n8tuser | recon69-> umm, when you say a router, a router in front of your ubuntu or the ubuntu acting as router itself? you have all these external devices causing your issues? | 16:08 |

| obi_ | toznoshio: i assume, yes | 16:08 |
| daleklea1er | bastid_raZor, so if I enable the backport -> upgrade the 1 or 2 packages -> then disable I would be good? | 16:09 |
| dimebar | ActionParsnip: my 'system' is fine; usb headset works fine with ALSA just not with wine | 16:09 |
| Toznoshio | obi_, otherwise use the cups-pdf printer driver | 16:09 |
| ltineo | n8tuser and ubotttu: I followed a guide to make b43xx to work and it did work altough i needed to add wicd to the equation, but now my wireless is disabled and i cannot get it enabled | 16:09 |

| AdvoWork | how can you unmount something when its giving this error: unmount error 16 = Device or resource busy - its not busy or in use, so its stuck | 16:12 |
| n8tuser | fivetwentysix-> umm i think by design, wifi has to listen to beacons being broadcast, you can not possibly have your transmitter constantly on or else you'd flood the airwave noh? | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: lsof | grep <mount point name> | 16:12 |
| Toznoshio | AdvoWork, use lsof to find out | 16:12 |
| daleklea1er | AdvoWork, best to close the process in use | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: that will show files open on the mount | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: you can then ps -ef | grep <thing> and kill its PID if the app is still running | 16:13 |
| n8tuser | recon69-> if the issue is you can not get wireless to work, lets resolve that, but dont get that confused with the results of netstat (services being active) .. two different issues | 16:13 |
| AdvoWork | lsof: WARNING: can't stat() cifs file system /home/theshare :S | 16:13 |
| recon69 | Hideme_: it's only a temporary fix, you will likely have the same problem again. if it get to annoying look at removing pluseaudio and using the only sound system. I dont mind it that much and hope it will get fixed soon | 16:14 |

| n8tuser | outboard-> ill try, so go and look at that log to see what errors you have, and hopefully get some hint on how to fix it | 16:15 |
| roger__ | this drive it's on is old old 13gb ata66 | 16:16 |

| LjL | roger__: and you're doing that by copying everything over to a SMB share...? | 16:16 |
| n8tuser | ltineo-> which chip does your wifi have again? | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | roger__: the speed increase will be nice too :) | 16:16 |
| scunizi | roger__, use partimage to mirror the current partition and restore it to the other drive | 16:16 |
| roger__ | is there a deb for partimage | 16:17 |

| AdvoWork | n8tuser, what did you mena? | 16:17 |
| ltineo | the problem is that wicd doesn't see any wireless interface nor does ifconfig | 16:18 |
| scunizi | roger__, it's a live cd with partimage on it. | 16:18 |
| n8tuser | outboard-> may I suggest a tutorial on learning how to use linux? btw, vim, nano, joe, pine are editors you can use | 16:18 |
| ltineo | i listed my wireless interfaces with lshw -C network and also with iwlist | 16:18 |
| roger__ | i don't have blank cd's | 16:18 |
| recon69 | n8tuser: my wireless works for some things. I just cant use certain sites, like gmail , hotmail, pastebin, a lot of forums ect. keep getting "connection interrupted" or a blank page. and it's intermittent , could work find for a week the stop. I been tring to figure this out for 6 months but every time i think i got a clue it turns out to be wrong. | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: replace sdxx with the partition name in /dev/ (e.g /dev/sda1) | 16:18 |
| n8tuser | AdvoWork-> if unclear , man fuser please to get an idea on how to use this tool | 16:18 |
| LjL | roger__: whatever you do, *don't* copy your installation over by making it go through a SMB share. if anything, tar it. | 16:18 |
| deadkode | n8tuser: pine works as a text editor? | 16:19 |
| roger__ | i dunno what smb share is, but i'm not doing that | 16:19 |
| fletch | *Serious Question* I mounted my Windows Hard Drive onto my Linux Drive using NFTS Driver, but I named it wrong and I'm trying to reverse the process but it's not working, any suggestions? | 16:19 |
| scunizi | roger__, then you have a problem.. got a live cd? maybe you can apt-get partimage on the live cd and use it there.. I've never tried | 16:19 |
| n8tuser | deadkode-> second thing i lost is my memory, what do you expect :P | 16:19 |
| AdvoWork | tried it with sda1, 2, 3 nothing | 16:20 |
| Guest31409 | Can we install Gtalk on ubuntu? | 16:20 |
| deadkode | Guest31409: you can use it with pidgin, which is an amazing im tool | 16:20 |
| scunizi | Guest31409, pidgin works for gtalk.. also wengophone | 16:20 |
| LjL | Guest31409: would that be GNU Talk, or Google Talk? | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | roger__: you could mount both disks and use rsync: http://encodable.com/tech/blog/2006/10/30/Ubuntu_Linux_Hard_Drive_Upgrade | 16:20 |
| scunizi | ActionParsnip, nice link | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: would that work, looks massively cheeky | 16:21 |
| error404notfound | how can I copy an entire directory tree except a certain directory? | 16:21 |
| fletch | *Serious Question* I mounted my Windows Hard Drive onto my Linux Drive using NFTS Driver, but I named it wrong and I'm trying to reverse the process but it's not working, any suggestions? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | scunizi: would that work, its sneaky as hell | 16:21 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: i'm completely not familiar with rsync. myself, i would probably tar it. | 16:21 |
| roger__ | ok after i copy this over i have to edit the fstab right to new drive | 16:21 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: unless of course the two drives are both connected to the same computer, in which case i'd see nothing wrong with "cp" | 16:22 |
| scunizi | ActionParsnip, don't know.. the only thing it wouldn't get is the MBR and grub would have to be reinstalled.. also uuid references in fstab.. sounds like a headache | 16:22 |
| AdvoWork | so how else can i remove it then as i cant get any details of how or by what its being used by :S | 16:22 |
| Guest31409 | deadkode: I am using it, but have issues of connection, when I start it. It does not show up my friends, i have to change the status for me to get connected . | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: just makes one directory look like another with comparisons every now and again, first one would see an empty drive and copy the data over | 16:22 |
| fletch | I mounted my Windows Hard Drive onto my Linux Drive using NFTS Driver, but I named it wrong and I'm trying to reverse the process but it's not working, any suggestions? | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | scunizi: true (tbh id go for a clean install) | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: what did you name wrong? | 16:23 |
| LjL | Guest31409: as far as i'm aware, Google Talk uses the Jabber protocol (or more properly the XMPP protocol), which is an open-source instant messenging protocol, so you can use any Jabber/XMPP compatible client | 16:23 |
| matic_ | fletch, did you backup the fstab | 16:23 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: I added a space so like /media/Windows Drive | 16:23 |
| fletch | matic_: what do you mean? | 16:23 |
| Guest31409 | LjL: Any for suggestion ? | 16:23 |
| scunizi | ActionParsnip, roger__ better to just make a partition for /home .. copy it over and do a fresh install without formatting /home | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: ok then use: sudo umount /media/Windows\ Drive | 16:23 |
| matic_ | fletch, did you edit the file /etc/fstab? | 16:24 |
| ne2k__ | it seems as though the new drivers/ata/pata_it821x driver in hardy/intrepid (2.6.24-22) is completely broken. it also seems that the drivers/ide/pci/it821x driver that worked in feisty (2.6.15-29) is still in the mainstream kernel (2.6.27-8), but has been removed from hardy/intrepid one. this means I need to use an old kernel on my intrepid server. any reason for this? | 16:24 |
| AdvoWork | also doing ls -all shows this weirdness: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? Backups | 16:24 |
| fletch | matic_: no | 16:24 |
| LjL | Guest31409: no, i wouldn't really know which to suggest, but "apt-cache search jabber client" and "apt-cache search xmpp client" shows quite a few | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: then rename / delete the mount point. try to avoid spaces in names, it causes headaches | 16:24 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: did that, unmounted it, then wanted to rename or delete | 16:24 |
| Guest31409 | LjL: Thanks. | 16:24 |
| rdw200169 | Guest31409: Pidgin does XMPP | 16:24 |

| fletch | ActionParsnip: I love you, that works lol thanks | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: np man :D | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: mv = move | 16:26 |
| afallenhope|work | is there a way of making a LiveCD of my current ubuntu install? | 16:26 |
| scunizi | fletch, spaces aren't good in most places.. directory names, mount points, file names... etc | 16:26 |
| fletch | scunizi: yeah I learned the hard way lol | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: you moved the folder to be named a different name in the same location, effectively renaming it | 16:26 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: so to remount? | 16:26 |
| bullgard4 | LjL: Thank you for your thorough explanation. | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: if you mounted it before, press up cursor til you see the old mount command and edit it appropriately | 16:27 |
| LjL | afallenhope|work: not very easily, i guess, but it should be possible | 16:28 |

| fletch | ActionParsnip: I did it visually with the NTFS driver, but it does not see the windows partition anymore | 16:28 |
| roger__ | this partimage doesn't have a gui, it runs in a terminal, did i install it wrong or something | 16:28 |
| LjL | afallenhope|work: by combining those together, it should be doable. it'll take quite an amount of diskspace i suspect. | 16:28 |
| rpfaff | my 3d acceleration works on my laptop but runs very slow on my second monitor, whats wrong? | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: what is the partition name in fdisk? /dev/sd? | 16:28 |
| LjL | roger__: no, it simply *is* a terminal program. | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: sudo fdisk -l will output the partitions. we just need its name | 16:29 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: LjL provided a thorough answer to the question which I put here in the channel. -- Thank you. | 16:29 |
| roger__ | oh no | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: or you can reuse the app you used before | 16:29 |

| Ximal | i've been having trouble with tor and the like .. and i am wandering if there is any way to uninstall tor or to ensure synaptic can get access to the web ? if not i am ok to reinstall if i have too.. i just want to get this done because tor is messing up my ability to receive updates | 16:29 |
| scunizi | roger__, however it runs a type of menu system in the terminal.. so don't worry.. kinda like an old dos program | 16:29 |
| ikonia | Ximal did you install tor through synaptic ? | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: sudo mount /dev/sda2 -t ntfs-3g /media/<mountpoint goes here buddy>/ -o uid=1000 | 16:30 |
| LjL | Ximal: way to uninstall Tor? of course there is, like any program, you'd just "sudo apt-get remove tor" | 16:30 |
| scunizi | roger__, to start it type partimage in terminal after install. | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: as long as you are happy, sweet :D | 16:30 |
| Ximal | yes ikonia ... and if i could find a way to download the entire repository i would just to be able to not have to deal with this issue.. | 16:30 |
| ikonia | Ximal: dpkg can be used to remove tor | 16:30 |
| roger__ | yeah i got it running now | 16:30 |
| Ximal | i tried removing tor through synaptic Ljl and now I cannot even get a connection to the update manager let alone synaptic or the apt-get | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | roger__: sweet :) | 16:30 |
| ikonia | Ximal: I'm trying to work out why tor is not working for you, it looks like a config issue, but I can't see where | 16:30 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: copy that whole thing, even that stuff at the end there? lol | 16:31 |
| LjL | Ximal: you don't need any connection to remove packages. "sudo apt-get remove tor" won't connect to anything. | 16:31 |
| Ximal | well ikonia ... i'm trying to get synaptic to work and unfortunately uninstalling tor made things worse | 16:31 |
| roger__ | i got a ext3 on my other drive already with a swap, so i just make a image and restore it to that right | 16:31 |
| ikonia | Ximal: I suggest you use dpkg to remove it and make sure your proxy settings for ubuntu (not firefox) are removed | 16:31 |
| Ximal | is there a way to turn off the instance of tor that is running ? just in case that's the problem ? | 16:31 |
| LjL | Ximal, do the commands "echo $http_proxy" and "echo $HTTP_PROXY" say anything? | 16:31 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: that didn't work | 16:32 |
| ikonia | LjL: he's got a proxy setting for tor in his env, but as tor is not running it's causing an issue | 16:32 |
| LjL | ikonia: he's probably got a proxy setting for Privoxy though, not Tor itself | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | fletch: if its mounted then you dont need it, if you want it mounted auto at boot you will need to add something like that to /etc/fstab | 16:32 |
| ikonia | correct | 16:32 |
| ikonia | LjL: correct | 16:32 |
| Ximal | 127.0.0.1;9050 | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | fletch | 16:32 |
| ubottu | fletch: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !ntfs-3g | fletch | 16:33 |
| ubottu | fletch: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 16:33 |
| Ximal | HTTP PROXY returned NO response but a clear file | 16:33 |
| LjL | Ximal: so type "export http_proxy=" and "export HTTP_PROXY=", and APT will resume working (only in that specific terminal, though). | 16:33 |
| rpfaff | when i enable visual effects it works fine on my laptop, but runs super super slow on my second monitor? help! | 16:33 |
| Ximal | ahh... | 16:33 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: I'm using NTFS Configuration Tool, but it doesn't see that device anymore | 16:33 |
| Ximal | i wish i had known that before lj; | 16:33 |
| LjL | Ximal: you will probably fix the issue if you remove and purge the "privoxy" package | 16:33 |
| ikonia | LjL: nice idea | 16:33 |
| fletch | ActionParsnip: I'll figure it out, thanks for the help gtg | 16:34 |

| LjL | Izinucs: IMAP is certainly more suited to remote-only storage than POP3, though | 17:01 |

| kubuc | roger_, use dd, man dd howto | 17:08 |
| roger_ | yeah i was just reading about that dd command and just was gonna ask about it | 17:08 |
| roger_ | partimage won't image it cuz it's mounted | 17:09 |
| kubuc | roger_, and you cant save a mounted partition if / is being used | 17:09 |
| LjL | amikrop: it's probably an encoding issue, i.e. the subtitles are encoded using the greek extension of ASCII instead of using UTF-8. you might try converting them with for example "recode", or you could change the variables listed in "locale" in a terminal - and then start VLC in that terminal - to the Greek encoding (i don't know what it's called, however) | 17:10 |
| LjL | amikrop: you might try asking nicely in #ubuntu-gr, as well | 17:10 |
| roger_ | partimage=epic fail | 17:10 |
| roger_ | i only have partitions for ubunut / and swap | 17:10 |
| amikrop | LjL: Opening with Gedit, Save As and choose an encoding is enough to recode? | 17:10 |
| roger_ | so / is always mounted | 17:10 |
| rockstarmike | so no one has ever seen this problem? | 17:10 |
| LjL | amikrop: only if you can get gedit to show it in proper greek in the first place | 17:11 |
| kubuc | roger_, for that you need to boot and run your tool from another partition, like a cd or sub stick or something | 17:11 |
| LjL | amikrop: (which might involve choosing an encoding when you *open* it) | 17:11 |
| roger_ | only thing i got is the ubuntu 8.10 cd | 17:11 |
| amikrop | LjL: I couldn't, though I saved it as two Greek encodings | 17:11 |

| tiyowan | kiloblaster: Ok, good news. :-) You need to compile the drivers for your card and use those drivers. That should fix the problem. Here's the link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html | 17:35 |

| tiyowan | kiloblaster: np, here's another link, btw. | 17:37 |
| kubuc | genii, > tiger its more simular to linux, that is | 17:37 |
| recon61 | the support from http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/ | 17:37 |
| ikonia | kai the instructions you are typing are for if you are running on mac OS | 17:37 |
| tiyowan | kiloblaster: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 <- There's a section on your card there as well. | 17:37 |
| kiloblaster | tiyowan: Shot it :D | 17:38 |

| kai | ikonia, I am trying to boot to mac, grub is installed and i need it replaced because Ubuntu is no longer on my computer | 17:38 |
| Aperculum | is there some app to create quick temporary ftp server? | 17:38 |
| ikonia | kai I understand but I've just told you the instructions you are following are for if you are running from mac | 17:38 |
| edju | I've googled till I've gone nuts. Kaffeine keeps reporting the dvd is encrypted, even though libdvdcss (and libdvdread) is installed. Any pointers, solutions? | 17:38 |
| kai | Ikonia, Okay, so how do i do this from a live CD? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | kai do you have the boot loader you want to use ? | 17:39 |
| tiyowan | kiloblaster: np. :-) I've got a friend in Torino btw. Beautiful country, Italy. Best of luck with your wireless, mate. | 17:39 |
| kai | Ikonia, I was hoping to just insstall the standard mac bootloader | 17:39 |
| kubuc | Aperculum, vsftpd ? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | kai then do that then | 17:39 |
| L0neWolf | DasE1, as I say it's just this one thing and it bugs me so much since it works in Windows but also CentOS with the same flash plugin. | 17:39 |
| ikonia | kai: boot form your mac CD and use the repair options | 17:39 |
| kai | Ikonia I'm trying to :P that's why I am here, It's not working well... Where are the repair options? :S | 17:40 |
| Aperculum | kubuc, quick temporary, like, run it, share few files, and close it | 17:40 |
| Aperculum | no need to be on default ftp port either | 17:40 |
| ikonia | kai if you boot from your mac CD it starts the install phase and there should be a repair menu, people in ##apple or ##mac should know better than me | 17:40 |
| kubuc | Aperculum, just aptitude install it, where you are done aptitude purge it | 17:40 |
| kai | Okay, thanks again! | 17:40 |

| balau | citronbleu-v_, for example, always with the same sites? | 17:51 |
| quizme | kubuc: how do i run cat as an editor ? | 17:51 |
| citronbleu-v_ | no | 17:51 |

| quizme | trancefat: it's easy to use when u get used to it | 17:53 |
| recon61 | hc: suggest you check that you have the video card hardware drivers installed on the laptop, and install the gstream-10-ugly codex , try turn compiz off if on. | 17:53 |
| tiyowan | evans2088: Using it on firefox v3.0 | 17:53 |
| trancefat | quizme: what do u use it for | 17:53 |
| Shrini | My usb is not mounting automatically. why | 17:53 |
| quizme | trancefat: it will make your left pinky hurt. | 17:53 |
| kubuc | trancefat, you maybe want to delve into mc and mcedit too, i use that for quick and dirty projects, or the php plugin for eclipse if you need more | 17:53 |
| hc | recon61, let me check on that package. Compiz makes no difference. | 17:53 |
| powertool08 | webas: also, if everything works when you run a live cd its supported and you only need to look into things which don't autoconfigure | 17:53 |
| quizme | trancefat: i use it for editing files on the server side. are you going to be using a gui ? | 17:53 |
| dimebar | trancefat: if you search for emacs tutorials they'll soon give you an idea of if its for you | 17:54 |
| evans2088 | tiyowan: yea, firefox v3.0, but i dont think i have flash v10 | 17:54 |

| tiyowan | evans2088: Did you install flash using sudo apt-get nonfreeflash? | 17:54 |
| AlexOnRuby | i now realize vista really sucks ! | 17:54 |
| hc | recon61, the drivers for my graphics card are also installed, as is that package. Note that i have it with every video application, including if i stream it of my other pc that has no probs. | 17:55 |
| trancefat | quizme: ok thanks | 17:55 |
| quizme | trancefat: i use OS X, and program in Ruby, so i use Textmate. i just use emacs for servers side edits when i have to. i prefer it over emacs. | 17:55 |
| trancefat | dimebar: ok | 17:55 |
| hc | recon61, and even with vlc i have it. So its not a codec problem. | 17:55 |

| dimebar | trancefat: vim comes with a inbuilt tutorial called vimtutor | 17:56 |
| Shrini | AlexOnRuby: use synaptic package manager | 17:56 |
| quizme | trancefat: if you get really good at emacs, you can do serious stuff and be really productive. but you hae to be kinda hardcore to get to that level. | 17:56 |
| trancefat | dimebar: ok | 17:56 |
| hc | Tw|sT, linux is a box with bricks. You build anything you want from it and use it then. Would you be proud to show you have a box with bricks or would you be proud to show you build a castle from it? | 17:56 |

| hc | Xero, .deb is not equal to a .exe, but more as an installer. | 17:57 |
| Veinor | but on a related note, whenever I open ~ in the file picker, it takes like 10 seconds | 17:57 |
| kubuc | trancefat, nano = simple | 17:57 |
| AlexOnRuby | xero : really ? :] thats cool | 17:57 |
| balau | Shrini, what I have on my ubuntu is that a flash drive does not mount automatically, but when I do lsusb it mounts by itself. | 17:57 |
| Veinor | to populate the list, anyway | 17:57 |
| gibranlp | hey guys, anyone knows hot to add the global addressbook in evolution? | 17:57 |
| dimebar | trancefat: yes but its a minimal install; do 'sudo aptitude install vim-gnome' | 17:57 |
| kubuc | trancefat, no frills | 17:57 |
| trancefat | kubuc: does it have code complete/highlighting for php, as3 | 17:58 |
| tiyowan | Tw|st: Well...Vista is almost 50 mil. lines of code. *nix is 10.5. But I think this discussion is better off in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 17:58 |
| DasE1 | L0neWolf: I had a few sites with probs, now went to synaptic searching for flash and choosin about 13 additional packets (swf n stuff), now the work ! | 17:58 |
| trancefat | dimebar: ok | 17:58 |
| Shrini | balau: for me, t is not working | 17:58 |
| kubuc | trancefat, for that i use mcedit = also simple to use | 17:58 |
| trancefat | kubuc: is that for linux | 17:58 |
| kubuc | trancefat, part of mc | 17:58 |

| tiyowan | evans2088: You need to remove the flash plugin, visit another site that uses flash, it'll prompt you to install the plugin automatically. Should fix the problem. | 17:59 |
| Jo_ | could somebody help me configure evolution for Gmail(IMAP) ? | 17:59 |
| trancefat | kubuc: ok... thanks for th info | 17:59 |
| Veinor | yeah, the gnome file picker is S-L-O-W | 17:59 |
| kubuc | Biolunar, just do aptitude reinstall dpkg [period] | 17:59 |
| hc | recon61, unfortunately, also done that. No high CPU usage, in fact it even drops then (remote terminal with top to check it). Also disabled screen saver and other options like automatic backlight dimming. No luck. | 17:59 |
| evans2088 | tiyowan: i feel bad asking this, but i cant figure out how to remove it, i've been trying to for a little while now i can only disable it for some reason | 17:59 |

| Veinor | hmm, KDE seems to work better | 18:01 |

| tiyowan | biophile: Hang on. | 18:01 |
| kubuc | jedi06, it supports almost all, but does not have ahrdware accelaration for all cards | 18:01 |
| Shrini | jedi06: it supports most of cards | 18:02 |
| jedi06 | dell is telling me that with the ubuntu version of studio 15 it won't run smoothly with 5800 core 2 and faster ram and upgrade cards | 18:02 |
| kubuc | jedi06, HW accel is still ... a bit a mess | 18:02 |
| evans2088 | tiyowan:actually no, to be honest im not sure where it came from, i had never had a problem before but then suddenly it was "updating" to v9.0 and now nothing works | 18:02 |
| jedi06 | I'm online chatting with this guy now | 18:02 |
| recon61 | hc: some sort of paging / hdd issue maybe? | 18:02 |
| NicEXE | Xero: installing blender from a deb file is risky | 18:02 |
| tiyowan | evans2088: What balau said. sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree from the terminal. Then reinstall it again. Then open up firefox, and go to a flash site. Then you'll get the you need a plugin blah to view this site. | 18:02 |
| jedi06 | what about the processor and ram? would it make any difference if you had a 5750 core 2 or an 5800 core 2 | 18:03 |
| hc | recon61, don't have a swap area, 3gb of rams which is used just over 10% (302meg), a 7200rpm HD in it, 1Gb network to stream ... doubt it | 18:03 |
| jedi06 | only difference is the FSB and ram speed | 18:03 |
| hc | recon61, it's really annoying :( | 18:03 |
| tiyowan | evans2088: Do you know whether you have the medibuntu repos enabled? | 18:03 |
| kubuc | jedi06, if you have the bucks any fast cpu has huge beneifits on a desktop, but on a small server it doesnt really mather that much | 18:03 |
| Xero | NicEXE: as far as i'm aware that's how the versions in the repos work, though... if you don't want to install from a DEB blender.org has linux tarballs | 18:03 |
| Izinucs | jedi06: souldn't | 18:04 |
| Izinucs | jedi06: what graphics card? | 18:04 |
| jedi06 | that's what he is telling me right now | 18:04 |
| joaopinto | NicEXE, it's risky depending on the source you have used, the same applies to compiling from the source ;) | 18:04 |

| Izinucs | jedi06: there use to be quirks with 800 mHZ ram. not sure if that's been ironed out or not.. I'm running it on my desktop 800/ddr2 | 18:05 |
| Xero | NicEXE, getdeb.net is a very reliable source, there should be no problems downloading from them | 18:05 |
| tiyowan | biophile: Can you run apt-get? Or do you get errors with that as well? | 18:05 |
| kubuc | jedi06, if you know how to config any linux will happely run with low resources so | 18:05 |
| biophile | tiyowan: no | 18:06 |
| tiyowan | biophile: What you need to do is to run fsck (filesystem checker utility) off a livecd. | 18:06 |

| ubottu | Mi-kun, please see my private message | 19:02 |

| hothollas | is there a default cam program for gutsy? | 19:03 |
| hothollas | application* | 19:03 |

| dkerschner | oh woot i found it, tasksel for the win | 19:04 |

| sere_ | i just recently switched to kubuntu and wonder if ubuntu is faster than kebuntu | 19:05 |
| ikonia | sere_: nope | 19:05 |
| ikonia | sere_: they are the same OS with different desktops | 19:05 |
| soundray | UserC: replace ;; with linebreaks and fill in the proper variable value | 19:05 |
| UserC | soundray, what are linebreaks..? lol | 19:05 |
| LjL | UserC: the Enter key. | 19:05 |
| recon61 | null: is you hardware driver actually installed yet? | 19:05 |
| sere_ | ikonia: oh ok ...so kde and gnome use about the same in resources? | 19:05 |
| UserC | soundray, and i don't understand the meaning of variable value.. | 19:05 |
| UserC | i'm confused now.. | 19:06 |
| Mi-kun | allrighty i found the package manager but it has no extremetuxracer package | 19:06 |
| ikonia | sere_: prett much | 19:06 |
| mircmac | recon61: Yeah, I'm missing or setting something wrong, I've gotten the same results in a fresh install of hardy, intrepid, and ubuntustudio... | 19:07 |
| ikonia | Mi-kun search for tux racer and you'll find it | 19:07 |
| soundray | UserC: just make sure that instead of writing my line literally, you replace all occurences of ;; with a new line (hit Enter). When you get to the second line, you will know what to put instead of my ... | 19:07 |
| tripps | hello. after updating and restarting my hardy heron desktop, I now get a "xgl server setup changed" dialog box. I'm not sure I understand what it's telling me. can someone enlighten me? thx | 19:07 |
| UserC | soundray, ok lol | 19:07 |
| Abu7amza | hello there, I have a question about the window manager | 19:08 |
| [c0re] | how do i apply same themes as i am using to root? (gnome themes) | 19:08 |
| Abu7amza | for some reason, I cant see a title bar anymore | 19:08 |
| Abu7amza | any hint? | 19:08 |
| hothollas | I plugged in a usb cam into gutsy. it lights up. but what application should I use? | 19:08 |
| UserC | soundray, um it did not help.. did i do it wrong? | 19:08 |
| tripps | i also have firefox without any addons or bookmarks - perhaps these are related? | 19:08 |
| UserC | soundray, i wrote | 19:08 |
| UserC | soundray, #!/bin/bash ;; export LC_ALL=... | 19:09 |
| soundray | UserC: hold on | 19:09 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: if you launch applicatiosn with gksudo it will use the same theme | 19:09 |
| UserC | soundray, pressed enter and wrote the rest | 19:09 |
| UserC | soundray, um ok | 19:09 |
| soundray | UserC: you're supposed to write a wrapper *script* | 19:09 |
| Abu7amza | ok, will come later to ask | 19:09 |
| Abu7amza | something came up | 19:09 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, and sudo ? | 19:09 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: no | 19:09 |
| UserC | soundray, um um.. lol | 19:09 |
| UserC | soundray, i'm a new ubuntu user.. lol | 19:09 |
| [c0re] | lol | 19:09 |
| thiebaude | just install the themes from appearence | 19:09 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: you don't use sudo to launch gui applications | 19:09 |
| soundray | UserC: that means you will call the script by its name instead of wine directly. | 19:09 |
| UserC | soundray, could you give me an example with the program notepad? | 19:10 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, dude i am real lazy ass. i dont wanna type gk before sudo | 19:10 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: then don't ask for help about it | 19:10 |
| recon61 | mircmac: can you ping the laptop ip address from the laptop? | 19:10 |
| sjbrown | so I think I've got a Santa Rosa macbook, and I followed the ndiswrapper instructions, but still I can't see any wifi. | 19:11 |
| sjbrown | any suggestions? | 19:11 |

| D-rew | How would I go about sharing an NTFS mount via SMB? | 19:11 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, dude you have no idea how to do it.... | 19:11 |
| recon61 | mircmac: or you loopback address 127.0.0.1 | 19:11 |
| [c0re] | i just wanna know what is the gnome themes settings name | 19:11 |
| juanez | D-rew: you setup SMB (samba). and it wont really matter what filesystem you use | 19:12 |
| D-rew | Ah, okay. | 19:12 |

| soundray | UserC: download this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83654/plain/ | 19:12 |
| keystr0k | The mute button on my apple keyboard pops up the notificaton and shows the red X, but the sound doesn't actually mute. I click it again and the red X goes away... sounds keeps playing. Any ideas? | 19:12 |
| Aradiv | Hi i have a problem with firefox and ubuntu 8.04 | 19:12 |
| mircmac | recon61: I believe so, yes...not at the machine in question so can't test right now. But, I believe I could ping loopback and the defined ip in the laptop | 19:13 |
| Mi-kun | ikonia i managed to install it | 19:13 |
| Mi-kun | but can i pm you about those drivers? | 19:13 |
| UserC | soundray, thanks i'll try that lol | 19:13 |
| Aradiv | the url in the navbar doesn't appear or diplay the real page | 19:13 |
| artha | hi all | 19:13 |
| soundray | UserC: copy the contents to a file named hewine in your home directory. Make it executable by running 'chmod +x $HOME/hewine' | 19:13 |
| recon61 | mircmac: been a while, but pinging you loopback address tests if your lan card is working, | 19:13 |
| sjbrown | keystr0k, maybe it's muting a device other than the speakers | 19:13 |
| sjbrown | like the headphones | 19:14 |
| keystr0k | sjbrown, hmm. | 19:14 |
| nick1 | hi | 19:14 |
| soundray | UserC: then you will be able to run '$HOME/hewine notepad.exe' | 19:14 |
| keystr0k | maybe because I use a dock. I'll check into it. | 19:14 |
| ikonia | [c0re] I do undeerstand how to do it, but you not listening, that is not the way to launch root applications | 19:14 |
| recon61 | mircmac: also check that you have you gateway and subnet address correct | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Mi-kun: we can work on the drivers in here | 19:14 |
| soundray | UserC: can you understand what this does? | 19:14 |
| keystr0k | sjbrown, nope... doesn't mute any of my sound ports. | 19:15 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, sudo ln -s /root/.themes/ ~/.themes | 19:15 |
| [c0re] | lmao | 19:15 |
| UserC | soundray, no but apperently it works.. | 19:15 |
| UserC | lol | 19:15 |
| ikonia | [c0re] I woulnd't suggest that | 19:15 |
| mircmac | recon61: Yes, now that you mention it, that doesn't tell much. | 19:15 |
| fwaokda | I've installed vlc, mplayer, and firefox plugins for both and yet the sirius online radio I can't listen too... anyone have anything I might try to resolve this? | 19:15 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: because you will be launching the root applications WRONG and can cause problems for yourself | 19:15 |
| recon61 | mircmac: also check you have set up the right lan device, you could have configured you wired adaptor instead of your wireless | 19:16 |
| soundray | UserC: I'm flattered and worried now. Flattered because you trusted my code, worried because you shouldn't have. | 19:16 |
| Mi-kun | allrighty | 19:16 |
| recon61 | mircmac: pinging your loopback address tells you that you card is working | 19:16 |
| UserC | soundray, i'll tell you once someone kills my ubuntu box | 19:17 |

| mircmac | recon61: Well, the wired works when a cable is plugged in (it also has a different ip defined) (question: is the gateway for the laptop the wap or the gateway on network connected to the wap?) | 19:21 |

| lazy | i have an question, Can i USE displayconfig-gtk in ubuntu 8.10 to change screen resolution ? | 19:21 |
| ikonia | lazy: probably because there is no makefile | 19:21 |
| Mi-kun | do i even need those drivers btw? | 19:21 |
| Xero | sweetgum: yes, like VMware =] there's a few alternatives, but as far as I know, it's either Wine or a VM | 19:22 |
| lazy | ikonia, bad... | 19:22 |
| fsanchezcv | Xero: im using the one that the guys at ubuntu.com shipped me. I get the menu, select "install Ubuntu" and then theres some loading bar, and after that, the screen is just blank | 19:22 |
| ikonia | Mi-kun: you can use the interneal "nv" drivers which will work, just won't support 3d acceleration | 19:22 |
| ikonia | lazy: tpoy , osrry | 19:22 |
| fsanchezcv | and its been like that for like 15 minutes | 19:22 |

| ikonia | subpar_: #winehq has solid wine support | 19:23 |
| fredl | hello | 19:23 |
| Mi-kun | well i was hoping to run some games on this | 19:23 |
| recon61 | mircmac: gateway setting on the laptop should be the ap's ip address on local network, normally 192.168.1.1. | 19:23 |
| subpar_ | ah | 19:23 |
| fsanchezcv | Xero: the problem is that the computer only has 256 RAM, so we prefer to install it wholly on th ehard drive | 19:23 |
| lazy | then my question is still alive | 19:23 |
| Mi-kun | but im gonna guess i gotta install windows anyway :S | 19:23 |
| ikonia | Mi-kun: then you'd probably want the drivers | 19:23 |
| subpar_ | I haven't tried it yet, so I don't need support really | 19:23 |
| subpar_ | just need to know if it'll be a pain in the arse | 19:23 |
| Lasivian | ikonia: porbably, but source compile instructions don't mention this anywhere | 19:23 |
| lazy | can i use displayconfig in ubuntu 8.10 to change screen resoltuion? thnaks.. | 19:23 |
| fredl | does anybody know if it's possible to use the optical audio output with the snd-hda-intel driver? | 19:23 |
| tripps | great now I don't have any more servers in xchat after updating - wtf | 19:24 |
| crimsun | fredl: yes | 19:24 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: then contact the support people for that package | 19:24 |
| recon61 | mircmac: and i take it you are disconnecting the wired connection when testing your wireless? | 19:24 |
| Lasivian | gee, thanks | 19:24 |
| ikonia | tripps: could you please avoid using phrases like wtf, people know what it means and don't need to see it | 19:24 |
| DasE1 | lazy : apt-cache search displayconfig-gtk :P | 19:24 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: what do you want us to do, we don't make this package ? | 19:24 |

| lazy | DasE1, no , it isn't ( | 19:24 |
| Xero | fsanchezcv: ah, i see... so i assume you have not tried the alternate install CD? | 19:24 |
| lazy | i have already searched for it | 19:25 |
| Lasivian | ikonia, you could not act like a jerk for starters. I asked a question, I didn;t piss in your oatmeal | 19:25 |
| fsanchezcv | Xero: No, how does that work? | 19:25 |
| lazy | it is not is repository. | 19:25 |
| MoLoot | Lasivian: lol - piss in your oatmeal.. haha | 19:25 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: watch your language and attitude, it was a sensible response to offer you | 19:25 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: we don't makke the package, and if there is nothing about it in the README file, how can we support it | 19:25 |
| tripps | can I get my list of xchat servers back by 'refreshing' the package or something? | 19:25 |
| soundray | lazy: displayconfig-gtk is not for 8.10 | 19:25 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: the obvious suggestion is to contact the people who made it | 19:25 |
| MoLoot | ikonia: sorry :) but that was a funny expression... | 19:26 |
| Lasivian | ikonia, then perhaps you should have said "contact the package makers, we can;t help you with that here" first | 19:26 |
| mircmac | recon61: That's what I thought, and I'm pretty sure I checked the gateway setting on the xp box to verify since it's working, yes, wired is discon'd when trying w'less | 19:26 |
| DasE1 | tripps : purge-reinstall it | 19:26 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: thats what I did | 19:26 |
| Xero | fsanchezcv: it's a different way of installing ubuntu, to put it bluntly, you still end up witht the same ubuntu installed but the alternate disc has more options available and it's better for installing on older systems, such as yours | 19:26 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: I offered you the suggestion of the README where it should be, then suggestion you contact the package makers | 19:26 |
| soundray | lazy: what's the problem with your display setup?# | 19:26 |
| lazy | soundray, but what is for ubuntu? how can i change screen resolution | 19:26 |

| soundray | Lasivian: have you tried gqcam? | 19:30 |
| fredl | crimsun - oh really? Ok, I'll try that, I had expected some sort of kernel module option. | 19:30 |
| fredl | crimsun - thanks! | 19:30 |
| lazy | soundray, i answered that there is only one mode that i currently use, it's 640x 480, but i need at least, 1024 x... | 19:30 |
| recon61 | mircmac: thats look wrong, you gateway address should match the wireless access point's ip address , and whats you subnet mask? | 19:31 |

| lazy | soundray, the screen resolution tool that you have mentioned, says also that monitor is UNKNOWN | 19:31 |
| soundray | lazy: then you went on to say how unhelpful this channel is. That's very inappropriate, if someone has just started helping you. | 19:31 |
| mircmac | recon61: Anyway we could connect later when I get in front of the machine (it's 27miles away) and I won't get there until 7PM'ish tonight | 19:31 |
| USSVoyager | greetings all | 19:31 |
| USSVoyager | I have a question | 19:31 |
| USSVoyager | how do I setup SNMP in ubuntu | 19:31 |
| USSVoyager | ? | 19:32 |
| ikonia | USSVoyager: if you search the package manager for SNMP you'll find a few daemons | 19:32 |
| lazy | soundray? i did not say that | 19:32 |
| ikonia | USSVoyager: install one and start to configure the community you want | 19:32 |
| tripps | the new method for eye candy is fglrx, right? no need to run xgl any more. is that correct? | 19:32 |
| ikonia | USSVoyager: I assume your familier with snmp | 19:32 |
| recon61 | mircmac: sound like a good idea, bit hard to fix a network issue from 27 miles away :) | 19:32 |
| USSVoyager | yeah | 19:32 |
| Lasivian | lazy: they're confusing you and me, don;t take it personally | 19:33 |
| lazy | i say that people on #ubuntu-ru aren't frendly, not #ubuntu, it's a big difference between ubuntu and ubuntu-ru | 19:33 |
| soundray | lazy: maybe not, but it doesn't matter to me now | 19:33 |

| iSchadow | how do I install the latest version of GTK through synaptic | 19:33 |
| soundray | Lasivian: no, I can tell you and lazy apart very well. The secret is in the nickname. | 19:33 |

| ikonia | iSchadow: you can only install it if there is a package available | 19:33 |

| ikonia | Tex-Twil: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/$diskID bs=512k | 19:36 |
| ikonia | Tex-Twil: that will write random data to the disk | 19:36 |
| Tex-Twil | ok | 19:36 |

| ikonia | lazy: please stop going on - he doesn't have a correct answer for you at this time | 19:37 |
| iSchadow | isn't grub supposed to have like, an image? when I dual boot I just get a black/white command line selection screen | 19:37 |

| Lasivian | well, I think I know why my webcam doesn't work.. but I don't know how to fix it | 19:38 |

| DasE1 | iSchadow: busybox ? | 19:38 |
| experimental | linux or bsd? | 19:38 |
| iSchadow | dasE1: never heard of it, sorry | 19:38 |
| ikonia | experimental: thats not on topic here | 19:38 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, sudo ln -sf /home/c0re/.themes /root/.themes | 19:38 |
| lazy | soundray, you do not like my attitune on #ubuntu-ru ? | 19:38 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: I said I would not recommend that | 19:38 |
| lazy | soundray, you do not like my attitune to ubuntu-ru? | 19:38 |
| ikonia | lazy: last warning =- drop it now | 19:38 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, why not? | 19:39 |
| DasE1 | iSchadow: do you get a grub error or a (overlined with few rows of text) shell (busybox) ? | 19:39 |
| mircmac | recon61: No the xp latop is a completely different machine with a pcmcia dlink which has worked for years. The new l'top has a intel3945 on MOBO. | 19:39 |
| iSchadow | dasE1: I installed vista first and then ubuntu so I could dual boot. The boot selection screen is only a black/white command line screen with no GUI, however I'd love to have just a bit of colours as I know it can happen | 19:39 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: because your launching gui applicatiosn wrong | 19:39 |
| neonimr | how can I use rsync to execute a remote command before doing the copying? | 19:39 |
| lazy | ikonia, this person was a bit confused and i am trying to explain it | 19:39 |
| Lasivian | actually it's in my video playback, the webcam is supported. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L#Video/3D | 19:39 |
| [c0re] | ikonia, lol really? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | lazy: he's not confused - please drop it | 19:39 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: yes, you need to use gksudo as I suggested earlier | 19:39 |
| DasE1 | iSchadow: so it goes just about customizing grub menu ? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | [c0re]: launching gui apps with sudo will cause you problems down the line | 19:40 |
| Lasivian | where it specifically states: "The Option Clone is especially useful if you want to capture video or photos. Without it you will get a black screen on applications like cheese." but what *IS* clone? | 19:40 |
| lazy | soundray, i do not offenced the ubuntu | 19:40 |
| iSchadow | dasE1: I guess that's it | 19:40 |
| ikonia | iSchadow: you need to look at the "splash" option, there are compressed images ready to be used with it | 19:41 |
| lazy | off | 19:41 |
| lazy | stupid people. | 19:41 |
| DasE1 | iSchadow: there is indeed a grahical more expensive way- personally I avoid it , because it was buggy in the past, sry then | 19:41 |
| soundray | neonimr: not with rsync -- but you can execute a remote command with ssh, and script it together with rsync if necessary | 19:42 |
| UserC | soundray, how do i um recover the file i just replaced with the last command? lol | 19:42 |
| iSchadow | is coloured boots buggy with ibex? | 19:42 |
| soundray | UserC: you didn't replace a file, unless you have a very unusual wine installation. You can restore the original state with 'sudo rm /usr/local/bin' | 19:43 |
| soundray | UserC: you didn't replace a file, unless you have a very unusual wine installation. You can restore the original state with 'sudo rm /usr/local/bin/wine' | 19:43 |
| ikonia | iSchadow: you can do it with any version | 19:43 |
| iSchadow | ikonia: where do I find the option? | 19:43 |
| Lasivian | is there any way to get a notification when a specific package has been updated? | 19:43 |
| soundray | UserC: please use the second version | 19:43 |
| recon61 | mircmac: so how is you AP configured? network is cable modem->firewall/gateway(OpenBSD)-> other wired computers & wap ~> laptops , seem like you may need to configure the new laptop on you gateway(OpenBSD) system and not the wap if it operating as a wireless switch. would need to see the ip/sub-net/gateway address of the OpenBSD, the AP and the laptop to tell what its set up. | 19:43 |
| ikonia | iSchadow: you have to put it in, it's called splash | 19:44 |
| ikonia | iSchadow: you put it in the menu.lst file, it's documented on the grub docs | 19:44 |
| Izinucs | Lasivian: that happens only if the package was installed via apt-get from the repo's.. and updates are typically security issues.. | 19:44 |
| UserC | soundray, well whatever happened it causes wine to open a lot of wine processes almost crashing my pc | 19:44 |
| Izinucs | Lasivian: you won't typically get version updates. | 19:44 |
| soundray | UserC: I see... sorry, I made a mistake | 19:45 |
| UserC | soundray, well i hope this will fix it.. if not i'll have to slowly shut down my comp.. lol | 19:45 |
| iSchadow | ikonia: can I rename the entries in the menu.lst? like rename vista/longhorn (loader) to vista? | 19:45 |
| eltrkbrd | I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 with latest updates and I'm having problems with Flash even though I downloaded latest .deb from Adobe. | 19:45 |
| soundray | UserC: here's the corrected version: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83670/plain/ | 19:45 |
| ikonia | iSchadow: sure, they are just text entries | 19:45 |
| ardchoille | What is the command that launches when you do alt+f2? | 19:46 |
| nibsa1242 | Is there a way to roll back my pulse audio to the previous version, the current version 0.9.10 is not working for me. The previous version worked just fine | 19:46 |
| soundray | UserC: reboot to fix the current problem, or try 'killall wine ; killall wine' | 19:46 |
| recon61 | mircmac: you could have 2 subnets , the BSD router and the WAP router, or you could have one sub net with BSD router and WAP switch. | 19:46 |
| iSchadow | ikonia: can I also make it show JUST Ubuntu/Vista instead of having ubuntu/ubuntu safemode another ubuntu another ubuntu safe mode memtestx86? It looks pretty messy | 19:46 |
| iSchadow | ikonia: or would that possibly screw something | 19:46 |
| UserC | soundray, well i used that command and it worked.. btw i need to change that locale cus without it wine programs stop allowing me to write after 1 character | 19:47 |

| recon61 | mircmac: should wait till you get home so you can check the setup | 19:54 |
| soundray | fdude: not sure if that's possible, but if it is, it would require Ubuntu to see your HDMI interface as a sound card. Check whether you can switch over to it with System-Preferences-Sound | 19:54 |
| alexcorn | joaopinto, that seems to have done the trick. thanks, that was driving me CRAZY for like two hours :) | 19:54 |

| rubbs_ | killerboy, quick question. The volume control, it is a piece of hardware that you want to only control on specific audio channel? | 20:06 |
| soundray | almark: you can turn off visual effects to try and reduce that: System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects | 20:06 |
| aar | Hi, is it safe to keep the tor and privoxy ports open by default in my box (i.e. by starting the daemons every time I boot), or should I keep them closed till I need them? Is it a security risk? | 20:06 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, if so, I what type of laptop do you have. | 20:06 |

| eltrkbrd | I haven't tried downgrading flash plugin | 20:07 |
| eltrkbrd | let me try that | 20:07 |
| eltrkbrd | thanks for all the advice guys | 20:07 |
| USSVoyager | I have a UFW question | 20:08 |
| almark | :soundray When I move the glxgears window I see copies of it you know graphic glitches, The same thing happned when I used Ubuntu Ultimate 8.1 That thing that turns your screen or flips it compiz I think the screen flashed when that happned to, So could I need a downgrade for my card? | 20:08 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, k... I'm checking up on it | 20:08 |
| allsystemsarego | eltrkbrd, have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4343118&postcount=23 | 20:08 |

| odonil | Where can I get third party repository lists ? | 20:08 |

| soundray | almark: just turn off visual effects: System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects | 20:09 |
| sschoonmaker | soundray, almark you are having glx issues too? mine won't even open when I type glxgears http://paste.ubuntu.com/83677/ | 20:09 |

| aar | Mi-kun If it's a script (e.g. called foo) you can run it by typing ./foo | 20:09 |
| almark | :soundray thanks for your info :) I'll try that | 20:09 |
| USSVoyager | anyone? | 20:09 |
| USSVoyager | anyone? | 20:09 |
| recon61 | USSVoyager: maybe because those computer dont have web server | 20:09 |
| soundray | Barackuse: time to get rid of XP and install it all natively, then | 20:09 |
| USSVoyager | it does though | 20:10 |
| Mi-kun | foo? | 20:10 |
| USSVoyager | because if I open 80 to everyone it works fine | 20:10 |

| jNoxx | !seen jim_p | 20:10 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 20:10 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, I think the easiest way to do it is to change the preferences of the volume control applet that is on the panel. If I've read it correctly, the channel that the panel applet is set to is the one the hardware controls also control. | 20:10 |
| Barackuse | soundray: I would but sadly I need the XP for working. Somethings I need it for. | 20:10 |

| tmRDRGZ | Im running a CFG78v4 motherboard with INTEL DUAL CORE proessor vagina ATI radeon graphics card WHAT DO I DO KNOW? | 20:11 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, if that doesn't work, I'm working on some other answers | 20:11 |
| n8tuser | USSVoyager-> umm use the iptables -vL to list that line, what you typed does not easily translate to the iptables rules | 20:11 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, which applet do you mean, sound control applet (asking to be sure) | 20:12 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, yes | 20:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jcarlso chasing dependencies on a program you wish to compile from outside sources can be a pain.. See what all their site says, or look for a deb package | 20:12 |
| aar | Mi-kun, first make sure it's got executable rights, so you type: chmod +x nvidia linux x86 64 something somethnig.run | 20:12 |
| aar | Mi-kun, then you type ./nvidia linux x86 64 something somethnig.run | 20:12 |
| killerboy | nope, it doesn't work that way, it sets ALL controls | 20:12 |
| soundray | jcarlso: I think what you need is libmagick9-dev | 20:13 |
| USSVoyager | iptables? | 20:13 |
| recon61 | USSVoyager: what exactly are you trying to do? that dont make sense to me? | 20:13 |

| soundray | almark: ask the channel a question then | 20:14 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, in other words, when i change vlume with this wheel it sets all volume controls at once | 20:14 |

| Reformer81 | Jack_Sparrow: THanks | 20:16 |
| ardchoille | Reformer81: I've done it, yes | 20:16 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, just to make sure, when you use the hardware control (wheel) it sets the whole system up and down, but you would like it to only control one chanell (ie. pcm or something) right? | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 20:16 |
| nibsa1242 | soundray: because I'm having audio issues, and it started around the same time I installed kubuntu-desktop; additonally I never use KDE. Only KDE apps I use are Kate, Konq, and K3b. I can't even use K3b anymore because upgrading to Ibex means the burner on this machine creates coasters. | 20:16 |
| D-rew | Anybody get gspca compiled for Intrepid? | 20:16 |
| aar | Mi-kun, make sure you navigate to the right directory (i.e. the "folder" were the file is located) and make sure you're spelling the file name correctly. Also, if the file name has spaces, type inverted commas around it, like this: "nvidia linux x86 64 something somethnig.run" | 20:16 |
| sschoonmaker | Jack_Sparrow, do you know anything about glx? http://paste.ubuntu.com/83677/ | 20:16 |

| almark | I have a soundblaster Audigy SE 24bit sound card and I cant hear sound, I have the volume turned up in my mixer, I know the sound works though please help. | 20:17 |
| sschoonmaker | Jack_Sparrow, I would be busy but I cant run my software now that I updated to 8.10 | 20:17 |
| soundray | D-rew: why? It's in the stock kernel | 20:17 |
| gab3 | any way in the shell to identify what TYPE of dram your computer uses? | 20:17 |
| sschoonmaker | Jack_Sparrow, why would it work fine in 8.04 and then refuse to open whatsoever in 8.04 | 20:17 |
| D-rew | It is? | 20:17 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, exactly, it's because when it controls all channels it controls mic recording volume too, and i don't wanna it do set it to full volume (you know what is there if you'll set your mic recording to full volume ;-) | 20:17 |
| recon61 | USSVoyager: well, it's the firewalls on the individual machines you need to change then, not the one on the router. | 20:17 |

| eltrkbrd | I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 | 20:18 |
| jcarlso | soundray: That did the trick, thanks | 20:18 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, found it! | 20:19 |
| soundray | nibsa1242: I doubt that removing packages will fix the issue, but you could try starting with libarts libraries | 20:19 |
| LjL | ardchoille: uhm, i'm not sure it's not just part of the panel (or whatever)... | 20:19 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, go to system/preferences/sound | 20:19 |
| eltrkbrd | simple and did the trick | 20:19 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, ok, tell me please | 20:19 |
| nibsa1242 | soundray: ok, remove or add them? | 20:19 |
| sschoonmaker | my xorg.conf is just the default, but here it is if you want to see: http://pastebin.com/f782b7504 | 20:19 |

| killerboy | rubbs, no problem, it's me who need help :-) | 20:20 |
| eltrkbrd | so guys, should I give up on the adobe flash choppiness problem and ubuntu 8.10 with compiz enabled? | 20:20 |

| soundray | nibsa1242: generally, if you've removed a metapackage like kubuntu-desktop, it should be possible to remove the dependent packages with 'sudo apt-get autoremove' | 20:22 |

| aar | Mi-kun, if you type pwd in your console you will get your Present Working Directory (e.g. /home/Mi-Kun/foo/bar means you're currently in the folder bar). In order to move down a folder (e.g. from bar to foo) you type "cd .." To move up a folder (e.g. from foo to bar) you type cd and the name of the folder (e.g. cd bar). | 20:23 |
| nibsa1242 | soundray: sorry the main issues seems to be this W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. | 20:24 |
| sschoonmaker | before I upgraded to 8.10 my glx worked fine. now it won't open any glx windows whatsoever http://paste.ubuntu.com/83677/ | 20:24 |
| radecek | hi haw can I run a out file? I make I "hello word", bud I can't run this :( | 20:24 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, i think it's in /system/preferences/prefered applications. In there you can hit the drop down and it should have a list of some apps you have installed. Otherwise you can use the terminal command to specify one that isn't on the list | 20:24 |
| soundray | nibsa1242: I doubt whether your problem has anything to do with the KDE packages, but I haven't got any good suggestions (don't let my nick fool you, it's to do with ultrasound rather than audio) | 20:24 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, there might be another way to do it. I'll check into it | 20:24 |
| hwilde | radecek, it's a binary, so put ./ before the name to run it like ./helloworld | 20:24 |
| odonil | Where can I get ubuntu software repository list ? | 20:24 |
| aar | Mi-kun, I reccommend you have a look at basic console commands before attempting to manage your system: http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/basic.shtml | 20:24 |
| hwilde | odonil, /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 20:25 |

| nibsa1242 | soundray: I didn't think it had anything to do with KDE, but I was hoping. What makes no sense to me is that the live cd had sound. Installed, there was sound, then within a week or two... no sound. | 20:25 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, problem is that there is no such entry as dvd player | 20:25 |
| kushal | I have 5.1 speakers but only 3 out of the 5 speakers work on ubuntu. Please help!! | 20:25 |
| radecek | thx :) | 20:26 |
| killerboy | killerboy, only sound player and i've already changed it | 20:26 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, another way you might try is to right click on a dvd and select properties. Many times there's an "open with" tab. From there you can select a player. I'd have to try this method out myself yet. | 20:26 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, try just the media player | 20:26 |
| nibsa1242 | soundray: maybe if I get rid of pulseaudio... what is the best alternative to pulse? | 20:26 |
| soundray | nibsa1242: perhaps the problem is in your user config. Have you tried with a different user? | 20:26 |
| nibsa1242 | soundray: I'll go make one and try that. brb | 20:26 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, if you don't want all your media to go there then I might have another way for you to do it | 20:26 |
| recon61 | USSVoyager: the web server you setting up is behind a second firewall(a router) I take it. | 20:26 |

| soundray | !install | ZummiG777 | 20:27 |
| ubottu | ZummiG777: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| kushal | I have 5.1 speakers but only 3 out of the 5 speakers work on ubuntu. Please help!! | 20:27 |

| eltrkbrd | I guess I'll try rolling back to flash version 9 | 20:28 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, and there is also no open with... when right clicking | 20:29 |
| soundray | eltrkbrd: have you checked for conflicting flash plugins? | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZummiG777 I am aware of the livecd, I understood that the alt was a tex install and NOT a livecd | 20:29 |
| eltrkbrd | kushal: try - http://www.automaticable.com/2008-05-28/how-to-enable-surround-sound-on-ubuntu-hardy/ | 20:29 |
| sschoonmaker | nobody can help get glx working?? it worked fine before in 8.04. I am going to have to reinstall completely http://paste.ubuntu.com/83677/ | 20:29 |
| eltrkbrd | I did that yesterday on my Audigy 2 zs with z5300 5.1 sound system and it works perfectly | 20:29 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, k, got an idea. just a sec | 20:29 |
| kushal | eltrkbrd: thanks I would try it | 20:29 |
| soundray | eltrkbrd: have you checked for conflicting flash plugins? | 20:29 |
| eltrkbrd | yea | 20:30 |
| ZummiG777 | Sorry, my mistake in terminology | 20:30 |
| eltrkbrd | about:plugins | 20:30 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, what version of Ubuntu are you using (ie hardy, intrepid) | 20:30 |
| eltrkbrd | only the adobe 10.0 rc12 plugin | 20:30 |
| eltrkbrd | the latest one | 20:30 |
| eltrkbrd | no others | 20:30 |
| eltrkbrd | it works fine if I disable compiz | 20:30 |
| killerboy | hardy | 20:30 |
| eltrkbrd | I had this problem in 7.10 but it went away when I installed 8.04 | 20:31 |
| soundray | eltrkbrd: compiz is evil | 20:31 |
| eltrkbrd | now I did a clean install of 8.10 and problem is back :( | 20:31 |
| killerboy | eltrkbrd, exactly :-) | 20:31 |
| sschoonmaker | please I don't want to have to reinstall 8.04 | 20:31 |

| nbeebo | killerboy it is | 20:32 |
| hwilde | Nickste, your hosts file should be your internal hostname, aka the output of the command "hostname" | 20:32 |
| ardchoille | eltrkbrd: Metacity on its own can do compositing, though it's not as feature-rich as compiz. | 20:33 |
| Melik | sound card? | 20:33 |
| hwilde | Nickste, dns can point whatever name it wants to you, that is external | 20:33 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, so, did you find something? | 20:33 |
| Melik | what sound card do u have | 20:33 |
| nest | o kurwa co to jest | 20:33 |
| eltrkbrd | the problem is that I have an Asus P4P800-VM mobo (intel 865G chipset for onboard graphics) with P4 2.8GHz HT CPU, and 3GB DDR-RAM with clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 and latest version of adobe flash (installed from .deb) and I get choppy video on all flash unless compiz is disabled | 20:33 |
| Nickste | hwilde: Ermmm... I'm not sure I quite understand that? | 20:33 |
| killerboy | nest, co masz na mysli? | 20:34 |
| loller | i`ve got problems with running videos in websites , they just can`t run , any suggestion what can cause the problem swf-player or flash .. | 20:34 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, I think I might, but it depends on what version of ubuntu you are running. what version are you running (hardy, intrepid?)? | 20:34 |
| eltrkbrd | I check firefox about:plugins and only 1 version of flash is installed | 20:34 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, hardy, i answered before, but you might not have seen it | 20:35 |
| Mi-kun | aar i know those commands but somehow cd desktop doesnt seem to work when im my home directory | 20:35 |
| eltrkbrd | version 8.04 didn't have this problem with flash & video from what I can remember | 20:35 |
| allsystemsarego | eltrkbrd, why did you install flash from .deb and not from the repos? | 20:35 |
| almark | :DasEl I have my card enabled in alsamixer gui want am I doing wrong? | 20:35 |
| ardchoille | Mi-kun: cd Desktop | 20:35 |
| Nickste | hwilde: I'm wanting to run apache and a mail server from this ubuntu setup. I'm not sure whether my hostname should be <servername>.xxxxx.com or just xxxxxx.com in my hosts file? | 20:35 |
| sschoonmaker | help before I upgraded to 8.10 my glx worked fine. now it won't open any glx windows whatsoever http://paste.ubuntu.com/83677/ | 20:35 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, sorry I didn't see it | 20:35 |
| shams | where can i find a good gedit color scheme for php developing? | 20:35 |
| eltrkbrd | well, I tried going into synaptic afterwards and uninstalled/ reinstalled from repos but it was the same version and still same problem | 20:35 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, np, much traffix | 20:35 |
| hwilde | Nickste, it should just be servername. the external dns adds your domain | 20:36 |
| killerboy | sschoonmaker, want help? | 20:36 |
| almark | :sschoonmaker I think the only way to use an Ati card 8500 is to use the older Ubuntu, I might have to do this myself | 20:36 |
| eltrkbrd | I installed from .deb because I didn't know any better I guess... | 20:36 |
| Nickste | ok, thanks :) | 20:36 |
| eltrkbrd | I'm a noob to Ubuntu... | 20:36 |
| sschoonmaker | please I don't want to have to reinstall 8.04 | 20:36 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, I think this will do it. Open up your home folder (or nautilus) and go to /edit/preferences/ then you can go to the media tab | 20:36 |
| almark | :sschoonmaker I don't want to either, but is this the only way, someone? | 20:37 |
| eltrkbrd | this really breaks my back though because without flash working properly it's back to windows | 20:37 |
| sschoonmaker | before I upgraded to 8.10 my glx worked fine. now it won't open any glx windows whatsoever http://paste.ubuntu.com/83677/ | 20:37 |
| almark | :sschoonmaker What card do you have? | 20:37 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, from there you should be able to change the default behavior for dvd's | 20:37 |
| eltrkbrd | If I installed a new video card instead of using the onboard Intel 865G graphics, that would probably help but I don't have another video card... | 20:37 |
| isleshocky77 | Anyone know if there is a plugin or extension to have a summary panel for Evolution? Similar to outlook and Kontact that contains upcoming appointments, tasks, and new email. | 20:38 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, yup, there is somthing, but there is no choice, only totem, or nothing, or ask or open folder | 20:38 |
| sschoonmaker | almark, I have an ati radeion x1200 or something like that | 20:38 |
| brutus | jumpy jaguar is ubuntu's next release? | 20:38 |

| eltrkbrd | thanks guys, maybe better luck on upcoming updates of ubuntu 8.10, firefox, compiz, and flash | 20:43 |
| KemrinH | I need some serious help. I'm using a Dell XPS 1210 running Ubuntu 8.10, and my Keyboard has been disconnecting for some reason. I'll be doing routine tasks like browsing the web or sorting files and it will simply stop working and refuse to accept any imput. The mouse will still work, but I've noticed that whenever my keyboard stops working, I lose the ability to move windows around with the mouse, though I can otherwise interact with them normally | 20:43 |
| Mi-kun | i just gave it permission but i still got permission denied? | 20:43 |
| USSVoyager | why is it ignoring the IP range rules that I have setup | 20:43 |
| DasE1 | sschoonmaker : watched it already | 20:43 |
| eltrkbrd | damn flash, switching back to xp for now... | 20:44 |
| d0kt0rn | eltrkbrd: Why would you? | 20:44 |
| KemrinH | eltrkbrd What's wrong with your flash? | 20:44 |
| eltrkbrd | cause flash is choppy | 20:44 |
| sschoonmaker | DasE1, but it's a laptop, how would I even go about figuring out everything I need to specify | 20:44 |
| brutus | ubottu, what's your purpose? | 20:44 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:44 |
| d0kt0rn | eltrkbrd: what version are you using? 9 or 10? | 20:44 |
| eltrkbrd | I have a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 | 20:44 |

| ubottu | almark, please see my private message | 20:45 |
| KemrinH | almark: What's wrong with your sound? | 20:45 |
| eltrkbrd | the problem is that I have an Asus P4P800-VM mobo (intel 865G chipset for onboard graphics) with P4 2.8GHz HT CPU, and 3GB DDR-RAM with clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 and latest version of adobe flash and I get choppy video on all flash unless compiz is disabled | 20:45 |
| Lasivian | allsystemsarego, drat, thanks | 20:46 |
| sschoonmaker | eltrkbrd, so disable compiz already ok? | 20:46 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, it's strange that there is no configurator for that don't you think, i suppose somebody forgot about in in ubuntu, or gnome | 20:46 |
| eltrkbrd | yea, but that sucks | 20:46 |
| DasE1 | sschoonmaker : there also is a example for a (configured ) xorg, it's no too geeky, but I'm really tired and unconcentrated I can give only direction | 20:46 |
| almark | :KemrinH I hear drums in login but thats it, I cant get sound to work inUbuntu | 20:46 |
| eltrkbrd | with compiz disabled window look like windows 3.1 | 20:46 |
| nbeebo | how to start a forum? | 20:46 |
| Melik | do metacity --replace | 20:46 |
| sschoonmaker | DasE1, so you think it is vsync and hsync and all that? my monitor displays everything perfectly fine. I just can't open glx. It's not a resolution iissue | 20:46 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, this is true, although sometimes the problem is that the media player developers don't add hooks for the gnome environment to easily use. | 20:47 |
| KemrinH | almark Have you opened your Volume Control and checked your settings? | 20:47 |
| almark | :KemrinH If I do a command line sound test then i hear that static sound for testing. | 20:47 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, what media player where you hoping to use? | 20:47 |
| d0kt0rn | eltrkbrd: Sorry that I can be of no help but perhaps if you google your issue or try the compiz channel you'd might get some more usefull help | 20:47 |
| almark | :KemrinH Yep | 20:47 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, mplayer | 20:47 |
| Melik | whats a good alternative to VLC/ | 20:47 |
| DasE1 | sschoonmaker : so you got a vid-driver problem | 20:47 |
| eltrkbrd | I've tried both already, but thanks d0kt0rn | 20:47 |
| killerboy | Melik, mplayer | 20:47 |
| ardchoille | Melik: mplayer | 20:47 |

| Melik | which would u say is better, vlc or mplayer? | 20:47 |
| eltrkbrd | just flash sucks cAAAcks | 20:48 |
| KemrinH | almark have you opened your sound preferences and checked your hardware settings? | 20:48 |
| sschoonmaker | DasE1, ok I would agree to that... how does hacking xorg.conf resolve a video driver problem tho | 20:48 |
| killerboy | Melik, mplayer, only menus don't work, but they will | 20:48 |
| nbeebo | how hard can it be to get info how to start a forum... | 20:48 |
| almark | :KemrinH do you mean alsamixer yes | 20:48 |
| ardchoille | Melik: and if you need dvd menus, try xine | 20:48 |
| KemrinH | almark No, the basic Sound Preferences window in your hardware section. | 20:48 |
| almark | :KemrinH I have it on auto atm | 20:48 |

| Gyron | The driver is installed, but for some reason I am having trouble adding the wireless network connection | 20:50 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, if you do the graphical way (going though the preferences in nautilus, you can specify "other application" | 20:50 |
| KemrinH | Yeah, it gives a bunch of code looking output. I don't know what it means. What should I look for? | 20:50 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, this will allow you to select mplayer from the list. | 20:50 |
| almark | :KemrinH how do I get it detect my card properly? | 20:50 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, there is no "other application" | 20:50 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, at least that's what is allowed on mine, but I'm running intrepid | 20:50 |
| rubbs_ | killerboy, ah. sorry then. not sure then. | 20:51 |
| frith | KemrinH, stupid question, have you tried another keyboard? | 20:51 |
| KemrinH | almark It may not be able to, you may have to configure the sound preferences yourself. | 20:51 |

| KemrinH | frith The keyboard is built in. It's a laptop. | 20:51 |
| almark | :KemrinH yeah but no alsaconf , that was so much easier | 20:51 |
| KemrinH | almark So it's fixed? | 20:52 |
| frith | KemrinH, that is interesting, i thought it was a usb issue for a second | 20:52 |
| almark | :KemrinH hardly | 20:52 |

| brutus | whats more stable? kde or gnome? | 20:52 |
| KemrinH | frith No, I'm not sure what's the problem. I think it's software. | 20:52 |
| jhass840 | hey guys, at boot time one of my partitions showed 42.4% non-contiguous blocks and I'm a little worried about it. What should I do? | 20:52 |
| KemrinH | almark I'm no expert, but I think you should go to Sound Preferences window and see if you can adjust everything to Alsa | 20:53 |
| ghaleb | guys I'm really impressed about nx project .. it's really light!! | 20:53 |

| Mi-kun | how do i switch to run level 3? | 20:53 |
| KemrinH | jhass840 try fisk | 20:53 |

| kroffe | finns det nån hubblista till dc som fungerar | 20:56 |
| recon61 | frith: on one distro is enough for me | 20:56 |

| b52laptop | ppl i have just installed ubuntu | 21:03 |
| fdm | gnutron: thanks, i got already an answer. i was looking for something like fail2ban | 21:03 |
| KemrinH | frith I usually format and fully reinstall, only bringing important files like .mozilla and .purple with me. | 21:03 |
| nikami | i'm sure it runs fine, but the build quality of dells has really gone downhill in recent years | 21:03 |
| b52laptop | and my default xorg.conf is empty | 21:03 |
| frith | Gyron, you should be able to figure it out from there, oh wait you can left click it :) should auto scan for you | 21:03 |

| KemrinH | frith No, I'm using my normal keyboard. When it happens I just have to reboot and everything is fine again. | 21:06 |
| subpar | Caduceus: the usb should be able to work if you just plug it in | 21:06 |
| killerboy | rubbs_, ok, i'm writing simple script, so it should work | 21:07 |
| Barackuse | KemrinH: Yea I know, its a private IP, I realized that once I finished typing it | 21:07 |
| KemrinH | frith It's just that it happens often enough to be really annoying, and I'd like to fix it. | 21:07 |
| recon61 | frith: well, I'm pretty sure my crashers are related to http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/ | 21:07 |
| rubbs_ | Killerboy good to know | 21:07 |
| KemrinH | barackuse Okay. | 21:07 |
| Caduceus | subpar, Its a wireless USB adapter | 21:07 |
| Caduceus | and I use it to get my internet connection | 21:07 |
| recon61 | frith: so how you turn on debugging? | 21:07 |
| subpar | oh | 21:08 |
| nikami | anyone know of a better GUI client than XChat? Its OK, but I loved mIRCs window tiling, plus the insane number of scripts available. Invision rocked my world | 21:08 |
| negge | Does anyone have any recommendations of how I could shrink my Ubuntu installation a little bit. I'm using Intrepid on my Eee and the operating system alone takes up about 3.1 GB of disk space, and this is after I've removed as many unnecessary applications as possible (OO, Evolution, Gimp etc). | 21:08 |
| Caduceus | A guy yesterday told me to download something called nvidriver or something like that. | 21:08 |
| frith | recon61, hang on | 21:08 |
| KemrinH | frith Oh well, thanks for trying to help. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. | 21:08 |
| gnutron | Caduceus: you are here as nikami pointed out, why not download it now and put it on some portable media? | 21:08 |

| k2s | what is the best way to share pictures between two users on Ubuntu 8.10 ? I want to let my wife to work with Picasa under her account and be able to work with the same pictures from my account. | 21:08 |
| subpar | are you using intrepid? | 21:08 |
| nikami | what driver are you looking to install? WLAN? | 21:08 |
| Caduceus | gnutron, where can i download it from | 21:08 |
| genii | negge: Maybe clear your apt cache | 21:08 |
| Caduceus | yes i am subpar. | 21:09 |
| ChrisBookwood | How do I make an application always open on a particular viewport/workspace? | 21:09 |
| KemrinH | k2s You can establish a folder in the home folder to which you both have permissions. | 21:09 |
| nikami | The newest kernels have support for most WLAN chips | 21:09 |
| subpar | Caduceus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 21:09 |

| nikami | lol | 21:10 |
| genii | negge: eg: sudo apt-get clean | 21:10 |
| negge | genii: you mean running apt-get autoclean? | 21:10 |
| subpar | that's the package yr looking for, though I would make sure that your card isn't supported natively first | 21:10 |
| Caduceus | ok which link should i press? :| | 21:10 |
| negge | I already did that | 21:10 |
| subpar | just read the page | 21:10 |
| Caduceus | k | 21:10 |
| subpar | if you can build legos, you can do anything with the wiki | 21:10 |
| genii | negge: Autoclean only dumps some of them, clean dumps all of them | 21:10 |
| subpar | it's all following instructions | 21:10 |
| negge | genii: wow thanks for the tip, it instantly shaved off about 500 MB! | 21:11 |
| nikami | BTW...anyone have an answer to my client question? Anything better than XChat? | 21:11 |
| negge | genii: any other suggestions? I think I've used localepurge once before but it didn't seem to matter that much | 21:11 |
| Caduceus | so put it onto my usb and plug the usb onto the ubuntu computer and it should work? | 21:11 |
| subpar | Caduceus: it might.. ubuntu supports a lot of cards natively, especially in intrepid | 21:11 |
| gnutron | nikami: for a gui irc client, probably not, but you may like irssi. | 21:11 |
| ddggttff3 | hi | 21:12 |
| Caduceus | subpar, I found out mine isnt supported =( | 21:12 |
| LjL | nikami: x-chat is almost certainly the most developed-for GUI client under Linux, so while some non-GUI client may have more scripts available than it, i doubt you'll have much luck with GUI clients. perhaps the most similar to mIRC would be KvIRC, but then it's a KDE application. | 21:12 |
| subpar | then follow the directions on that page | 21:12 |
| nikami | thanks gnutron, but I am definitely looking for a GUI client | 21:12 |
| Caduceus | okay. | 21:12 |
| Caduceus | Thanks | 21:12 |
| subpar | np | 21:12 |
| Xero | ddggttff3: hey, welcome to the ubuntu irc :P | 21:12 |
| genii | negge: Thats the biggest one. Also buildup hapens in /var/log and firefox caches, I have firefox set to clear all stuff when it exits. Rotating logs often also helps with the log buildup | 21:13 |
| Jon5000 | $$ REWARD $$ get my USB FAT32 drive shared over windows network... Will pay | 21:13 |
| subpar | Jon5000: lol google samba | 21:13 |
| gnutron | nikami: you could do mIRC via wine, but... cough, xchat is superior imho. | 21:13 |
| Flannel | !samba | Jon5000 | 21:13 |
| ubottu | Jon5000: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 21:13 |
| LjL | Jon5000: and with that, you've made sure that a few people will never even consider helping you now. | 21:13 |
| nikami | I definitely don't want to put KDE on my laptop. Gnome's network manager is so much better and thats important especially since I switch between a lot of encrypted networks and use WPA2 a lot | 21:14 |
| ddggttff3 | um, can i get some driver help? i use a creative x- fi sound card, and i need help geting my 5.1 to work on ubuntu with the official creative driver | 21:14 |
| LjL | nikami: uh, wait, i'm not a big fan of mixing GNOME apps with KDE apps, but installing KvIRC definitely doesn't mean that you'd *switch* to KDE... | 21:14 |
| Jon5000 | Subpar, I have been ALL OVER SAAMBA. Totally works for all other folders. But the USB drive will not share regardless of what i do with permissions, etc. | 21:14 |
| nikami | I thought about the whole mIRC via wine, but I read that it doesn't run too well and I am definitely looking to migrate to as much OS software as posible. | 21:15 |
| negge | genii: I'll check the log sizes. My system is fairly fresh (installed about a month ago and haven't been used that much) so the buidup is probably quite small... | 21:15 |
| subpar | nikami: then just acclimate to xchat.. it's the best one, better than mIRC after you get used to it | 21:15 |
| powertool08 | I'm trying to use vnc over a ssh tunnel and it is unusably slow, whats a recommended upload speed for the vncserver to be on? Mine is 512kb/s up | 21:15 |
| LjL | nikami: look the only other two GTK clients there are in the repos are Loqui and LostIRC, not much around to try out | 21:16 |
| nikami | why do you think its better than mIRC? More efficient? | 21:16 |
| hwilde | powertool08, you can't just do it via command line? what are you tyring to do (end result) | 21:16 |
| Jon5000 | subpar, in fact I have also noticed other people experiencing the same problem with USB drive shares in forum's etc. Most unsolved, others with solutions that did not work for me. hence my $$ REWARD $$ | 21:16 |
| gnu | salut | 21:16 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest1527 | ||
| subpar | Jon5000: well if it's unresolved, then I doubt anyone would suddenly be able to resolve it for money | 21:16 |
| Flannel | Jon5000: And that's still not the way to go about it. A properly crafted question (complete with whta you've tried, and what else works, etc) would be a much better way to get that question answered. | 21:17 |
| unkmar | I plan to create a fai (fully automatic install) of Ubuntu on a USB flash drive. I'm not understanding the fai instructions. | 21:17 |

| Jon5000 | subpar: just because others' similar issues didnt show up as resolved in the particular forums i found did not translate to "unresolvable" to me.... especially not for the #ubuntu team! | 21:17 |
| hwilde | powertool08, oh I know. you should try tightvnc it has nice cmopression. make sure you tune all hte options | 21:18 |
| unkmar | we can assume the install is for CD, as I know how to create a bootable USB of a CD using UNetbootin. | 21:18 |
| Caduceus | subpar. Are you there? | 21:19 |
| subpar | yeah, but I'm about to head to work | 21:19 |
| powertool08 | hwilde: i'm using x11vnc because its the only option i've found to let me connect to an already running display without starting vnc with X, can tightvnc do this? | 21:19 |
| allsystemsarego | powertool08, alternatively use reverse VNC, it's more secure than straight VNC | 21:19 |

| Charitwo | ProSI2: which nick | 21:32 |
| marek_ | also i would like to create two partitions one for ubuntu one for xp | 21:32 |
| allsystemsarego | dowN70, yes, or otherwise put "apt:ipcheck" in the address bar in Firefox | 21:32 |

| benbloom_ | can somebody tell me either how to resize a window using a keyboard command or where the prefs are for gnome to remember window size/location from firefox use to the next? | 21:35 |
| ProSI2 | Charitwo: but I am unable to switch to it. | 21:35 |
| Charitwo | ProSI2: you also cannot ghost unregistered nicks | 21:35 |
| * benbloom_ has never seen this channel so quiet! | 21:35 | |
| ProSI2 | Charitwo: what do you mean by that? | 21:35 |
| gnutron | benbloom_: in gnome metacity alt+f8 to resize a window. | 21:36 |
| kbrosnan | benbloom_: if your firefox is not remembering its size then firefox's localstore.rdf file may be corrupt. with firefox closed it will be in a subfolder of ~/.mozilla | 21:36 |
| Charitwo | ProSI2: only nicks which are registered can be ghosted by nickserv (due to a password being required), see /msg nickserv help ghost - you'll unfortunately have to wait for the nick to timeout and consider registering to avoid that situation in the future. See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup for how to properly setup a nick | 21:36 |

| benbloom_ | Every time I open firefox it opens in what looks like fullscreen mode. if I then hit f11 it goes into what is actually full screen mode, and if i hit it again it looks like it should in the first place. this is really annoying to have to hit f11 twice every time i open a browser window. is this a bug ? or some preference that i have accidently set?? | 21:42 |

| Halitech | dva5912, boot from your windows install cd, go into recovery and restore the windows boot manager | 21:49 |

| h00k | nbeebo, Yeah, that's definitely Adobes fault for lack of support. Please let them know how you feel. | 22:06 |
| Torne | it creates the dm node for the LV, but doesn't add a table to it | 22:06 |
| Torne | so it can't be mounted | 22:06 |
| pyrak | tonyyarusso, i need to find the location of a drive that isn't mounted yet | 22:06 |
| pyrak | so that i can mount it | 22:07 |
| sjbrown | Halitech, i'm not sure what that means. so the driver is loaded. i'm confident of that | 22:07 |
| iBrick | can i set up dual-booting after i've finished installing both vista and ubuntu? | 22:07 |
| ikonia | Torne: what about if you break the mirror, does it boot then | 22:07 |
| ikonia | iBrick: yup | 22:07 |
| ikonia | iBrick: easier to install vista first, then ubuntu | 22:07 |
| Torne | ikonia: can't unless i boot into a livecd or similar :) | 22:07 |
| tonyyarusso | pyrak: Best way is probably 'ls /dev/sd*', and figure out which one isn't mounted yet by comparing to the previous list then. | 22:07 |
| sjbrown | but i don't think it's doing the right thing with my hardware, or else it is not displaying the networks i know to exist around me | 22:07 |
| Torne | ikonia: initramfs has no useful tools in it, of course :) | 22:07 |
| Ketzusaka | hmm | 22:07 |
| ikonia | Torne: of couse..... | 22:07 |
| nbeebo | h00k, last comment about this on #ubuntu, linux should work harder to fix it, in every way, its not linux's fault wine doesnt work, its windows... well k thanks bye | 22:07 |
| Ketzusaka | Seems like it's not finding the package propery >.> | 22:07 |
| jabop | recon61: I was using thunderbird, which did it successfully. for example, when I read mail in evolution, my iphone still displays it as unread. it's very annoying. | 22:07 |
| jabop | oops, sorry about that | 22:07 |
| jabop | ignore :P | 22:07 |
| === marcel is now known as marceldv | ||
| ikonia | Torne: pondering now....... | 22:07 |
| ikonia | Torne: what actual error is it giving on boot | 22:08 |
| marceldv | Is dkms installed by default in ubuntu intrepid? | 22:08 |
| iBrick | and i need to use grep? is that correct? | 22:08 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, yes, driver is loaded, try sudo iwconfig scan | 22:08 |
| iBrick | -dual booting | 22:08 |
| ikonia | iBrick: no | 22:08 |
| ikonia | iBrick: grep is nothing to do with dual booting | 22:08 |
| sproingie | when wine discovers what proper release engineering is about in its free versions, then linux distros might be able to do something about it | 22:08 |
| tonyyarusso | marceldv: I believe yes, but wouldn't totallly swear to it. | 22:08 |
| Torne | ikonia: device-mapper: table: 254:3: mirror: Error creating mirror dirty log | 22:08 |
| Ketzusaka | is there a way to view the packages available from a single source? | 22:08 |
| ikonia | iBrick: install vista, then ubuntu it should do it all for you | 22:08 |
| Torne | ikonia: is the error that prevents the table from being installed for the lv | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Torne: I'm following, interesting | 22:09 |
| Wickk | for me to upgrade to Ibex from hardy would I have to back up everything and just reinstall all my programs or can I just upgrade and leave all my files on my hardrive? | 22:09 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, sorry, sudo iwlist scan | 22:09 |
| marceldv | I actually need to be sure :) ... Probably found a bug in the apt system.. | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Torne: so the mirroring is breaking it, no need to break the mirror then | 22:09 |
| Torne | ikonia: 254:3 is the node for the real LV | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Torne: yup, make sense, | 22:09 |
| Torne | it happily mapped 0-2, which are the two halves of hte mirror and hte disklog | 22:09 |
| ikonia | marceldv: what's the issue | 22:09 |
| Halitech | Wicked, yes but I'd back up just to bed saef | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Torne: so it mapped the two individual disks, but not the mirror node | 22:09 |
| sjbrown | Halitech, hm. that shows the networks | 22:10 |
| Torne | ikonia: and the log LV as well, yeah | 22:10 |
| iBrick | ikonia: what do you mean? sorry, linux newbie here | 22:10 |
| sjbrown | but i don't see them in the Gnome network tool | 22:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Wickk: you should be able to just upgrade, but it is recommended to make backups of course. | 22:10 |
| ikonia | iBrick: install vista, then install ubuntu, dual booting should be setup automaticlly for you | 22:10 |
| Torne | ikonia: unfortunately google mostly returns references to the dm source code :) | 22:10 |
| Wickk | K thanks, wasn't sure | 22:10 |
| ikonia | Torne: how useful | 22:10 |
| Torne | ikonia: for that error | 22:10 |
| Lasivian | sigh | 22:10 |
| Lasivian | I hate it when I try to fix something and screw up something else that was working | 22:10 |
| * Lasivian reinstalls Ubuntu, again | 22:10 | |
| ikonia | Torne: is there a udev rule assinged for mirrored devices | 22:10 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, ok, good sign, now we just need to connect to it | 22:11 |
| ikonia | Torne: I'm just thinking what could cause the situation | 22:11 |
| marceldv | ikonia: Ok.. After I deinstalled VirtualBox (from the virtualbox repo's). dkms appeared in the 'obsolete' filter. Meaning it has been installed by VirtualBox. | 22:11 |
| iBrick | heh... how do i get both OS's up and running at the same time? | 22:11 |
| ikonia | iBrick: you don't | 22:11 |
| ikonia | iBrick: thats not dual boot | 22:11 |
| ikonia | iBrick: you boot one or the other | 22:11 |
| Torne | ikonia: mirrors are identical to any other dm device to udev, afaik | 22:11 |
| pyrak | how do i ask whether or not a volume is mounted? | 22:11 |
| Torne | ikonia: it's not the device node that's broken, but the dm table itself | 22:11 |
| ikonia | Torne: I would expect so, thinking out loud | 22:11 |
| h00k | iBrick, you could one inside the other with virtualization like Virtualbox | 22:11 |
| Torne | ikonia: dmsetup shows the node as having no table | 22:12 |
| ikonia | Torne: yes, but what would cause the table to not be created | 22:12 |
| Torne | well, that error did, i assume | 22:12 |
| tonyyarusso | pyrak: see if it's in the output of 'mount' / etc/mtab. | 22:12 |
| Torne | since ht next line is ioctl: error adding target to table | 22:12 |
| Torne | :) | 22:12 |
| iBrick | h00k: are there any limitations there? | 22:12 |
| marceldv | ikonia: Ok.. After I deinstalled VirtualBox (from the virtualbox repo's). dkms appeared in the 'obsolete' filter. Meaning it has been installed by VirtualBox. | 22:13 |
| sjbrown | Halitech, i await your wisdom | 22:13 |
| marceldv | ikonia: I mean the 'auto removable' status | 22:13 |
| ikonia | marceldv: does virtualbox depend on dkms ? | 22:13 |
| h00k | iBrick, well, it depends on your amount of system memory, etc that you allocate to the guest operating system | 22:13 |
| marceldv | ikonia: I believe so.. let me check | 22:13 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, do you have a network manager up by your clock? | 22:13 |
| iBrick | i wouldn't need much to just run an ssh daemon would I? | 22:14 |
| sjbrown | i can add one maybe... | 22:14 |
| ikonia | Torne: just looking at my box now to see what would/could cause that senario and there is nothing obvious | 22:14 |
| marceldv | ikonia: virtualbox 'recommends' dkms | 22:14 |
| keystr0k | is there a way to get instant rss feed notifications if there is a new post/feed entry? | 22:14 |
| sjbrown | nm-applet | 22:14 |
| ikonia | marceldv: apologies, but I'm not seeing the problem, you've installed virtual box, it's pulled down a dependency, you've removed virtual box,whats teh issue | 22:14 |
| rafting | How can I turn off the encryption of my wireless network so anyone can sign on? I cant possibly do that from Ubuntu if I cant get on to the netwrok in the firsrt place right because then what would be then point at all? | 22:15 |
| Lasivian | any idea why cheese would suddenly show no resolution options? | 22:15 |
| sjbrown | huh. now it's showing up in there | 22:15 |
| h00k | rafting, reset the router would work | 22:15 |
| Slart | rafting: do you have some kind of wireless router? | 22:15 |
| rafting | Slart: yes | 22:15 |
| Slart | rafting: can't you connect to it using the wired connection? | 22:15 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, yes, that should work | 22:15 |
| lucax | i cant install kubuntu-kde4-desktop thisis what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/83728/ | 22:16 |
| sjbrown | but it doesn't show up in the "Network Settings" dialog | 22:16 |
| veritos | Is there a way to mark a package as automatically installed (for autoremove purposes) at install time? Similar to "emerge --oneshot" in Gentoo. | 22:16 |
| marceldv | ikonia: Well i thought dkms would be install by default on ubuntu intrepid install. | 22:16 |
| sjbrown | the one from System->Administration->Network | 22:16 |
| ikonia | marceldv: it's not a dependency so it won't | 22:16 |
| rafting | Slart: the wired is setup differently it was a huge pain in the ass to get it working in the first place | 22:16 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, if you click on it, do you get an option to connect to wireless networks? | 22:16 |
| nate | anybody know whats up with us.archive.ubuntu.com ? I'm getting 404 errors on feisty/main, feisty/restricted, feisty/universe and feisty/multiverse | 22:16 |
| Lasivian | or how do I reload a driver for a device that's not detecting right? | 22:16 |
| Torne | ikonia: guess i will just have to mess with it. thanks for trying, though | 22:16 |
| ikonia | Torne: still playing here | 22:16 |
| Slart | rafting: then you need to read the manual for the router.. or temporarily use some other computer that *can* connect to the wireless network | 22:16 |
| ikonia | Torne: I've just done a none-root file system and it worked | 22:16 |
| Torne | yeah i've done this exact conversino thign before | 22:17 |
| Torne | on debian | 22:17 |
| sjbrown | Halitech, yes. i just tried to connect to my intended one. it's spinning... | 22:17 |
| marceldv | ikonia: Ok,, thanks anyway :) | 22:17 |
| Torne | on the rootfs even. and that worked :) | 22:17 |
| sjbrown | now it's showing 4 bars | 22:17 |
| Halitech | nate fiesty is I think not supported any longer so the repo is changed | 22:17 |
| Torne | so either it's some freak accident, or the different kernel/initramfs is a problem | 22:17 |
| rafting | Slart: ok im dumb im using vista now, so how can i change the authoirty? and to what? | 22:17 |
| Halitech | sjbrown, ok, you should be connected then | 22:17 |
| Slart | rafting: that would depend entirely on your router.. | 22:17 |
| Slart | rafting: usually is has some kind of web interface where you can change stuff | 22:17 |

| pyrak | the ide is master, and the OS is running off of it | 22:21 |
| Bsims | pyrak: the primary drive will be /dev/sda, the second will be /dev/sdb | 22:21 |
| ikonia | pyrak: your new one would be /dev/sd* | 22:21 |
| Halitech | pyrak, sudo fdisk -l | 22:21 |

| gnutron | agustin: leave pulse alone, concentrate on alsa | 22:29 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: re-installing with no reason it not a good way to resolve something | 22:29 |

| Lasivian | ikonia: well, it's that or reinstall at this point | 22:29 |
| shovi | SAVAGE 2?? | 22:29 |
| ikonia | Lasivian: I'd advise against re-installing things blindly - but thats your call | 22:30 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, what are you having trouble with? | 22:30 |
| exodus_ms | Paw, what is the problem? | 22:30 |

| agustin | to you | 22:32 |
| pyrak | ikonia, so it looks like i only have one unmounted hard disk | 22:32 |
| h00k | Paw, is that booting from the CD? | 22:32 |
| ikonia | pyrak: errrrr no | 22:32 |
| pyrak | oh, which makes sense, because i forgot to plug the usb disk back in | 22:32 |
| Paw | h00k: yes | 22:32 |
| ikonia | pyrak: you have one disk that doens't have a partition table, the disk is 500gb in size, is that your new disk | 22:32 |
| h00k | Paw, check your CD, it might be defective | 22:32 |
| Lasivian | mphill: Suyin corp (it's on my other computer) | 22:32 |
| exodus_ms | agustin, type the persons nick and hit tab, | 22:32 |
| pyrak | ikonia, yes, that all sounds right | 22:33 |
| Paw | h00k: okay let me check, any ways to find out.. | 22:33 |
| HideousNashimoto | hello | 22:33 |
| pyrak | next step: parted? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | pyrak: use a partition tool you chose to put a partition on it | 22:33 |
| h00k | Paw, yes, when you boot from it, there is an option after you select your language | 22:33 |
| mphill | Lasivian: type sudo modprobe -r gspca; sudo modprobe gspca | 22:33 |
| h00k | Paw, something like "Check this CD for defects" | 22:33 |
| HideousNashimoto | I have a folder with couple of other folders and files in it, I want to know how to change permissions so that I have all access to them, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! | 22:33 |
| Paw | h00k, i tried that, and i get the same error. | 22:33 |
| exodus_ms | agustin, is your ubuntu install in English? | 22:33 |
| pyrak | ikonia, what tool do you recommend? | 22:33 |
| agustin | gnutron, i get this when i put alsa in my sound driver audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: No se pudo abrir el dispositivo de audio para reproducción | 22:33 |
| ikonia | pyrak: I use fdisk | 22:33 |
| Roasted | CloneZilla? Anybody? | 22:33 |
| agustin | exodus_ms, nop spanish | 22:34 |
| Paw | h00k: it starts to say the error again while checking for defects | 22:34 |
| Lasivian | halitech: yes, I saw that, but the solution just records to a file | 22:34 |
| Paw | Let me try again. | 22:34 |
| h00k | Paw, okay, it does sound like you need to either re-download the file, or re-burn the CD | 22:34 |
| ExElNeT | lucax: i installed the compiz-kde package | 22:34 |
| Lasivian | mphill: gspca not found | 22:34 |
| HideousNashimoto | I have a folder with couple of other folders and files in it, I want to know how to change permissions so that I have all access to them, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! | 22:34 |
| Paw | h00k: I shall try both, and see what happens.. | 22:34 |
| scottpledger | ok, i feel dumb -- the fix is to set the local storage to unlimited. | 22:34 |
| h00k | Paw, you can check the MD5 Hash against the original to verify your CD image is correct | 22:34 |
| exodus_ms | agustin, Are you comfortable with support in English or would you like a channel for Spanish? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | HideousNashimoto use the chmod command or launch nautlius with gksudo to use it as root | 22:35 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, whats the output of lsusb? | 22:35 |

| ExElNeT | lucax: same error ;/ | 22:37 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, was the webcam plugged in? | 22:37 |
| gnutron | agustin: have you installed alsamixer | 22:37 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Probably not. What's the problem? | 22:37 |
| Lasivian | it's built into the notebook | 22:37 |
| Lasivian | Halitech, it's an Aspire One, built in | 22:37 |

| Roasted | marceldv - I have a test computer here with a fresh installation of Windwos XP on it. The copy of XP is a work issued one. I'm trying to create an image of it for the 500 computers we're getting in next month. But when I try to creat an image, it says the drive needs to be unmounted... yet I'm following the directions picture by picture step by step on this ugide I found. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. | 22:39 |
| agustin | thats all i know | 22:39 |
| agustin | in newbie with ubuntu | 22:39 |
| Lasivian | Halitech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83739/ | 22:39 |
| Izinucs | CarlFK: link doesn't work.. but anyway.. not sure if it will help on 32bit in your situation but take a look at your swap space. You might need to increase it. | 22:39 |
| gnutron | agustin: whip open a terminal and type alsamixer | 22:39 |
| zwerver | someone knows what's happend here: i can't open files via firefox anymore, i have to download them. I think it's my /tmp, that has only 952KB free (but only 1.8 in use, although it says 'some contents unreadable'). any solutions? | 22:39 |
| agustin | yes i put that but it shows the sound driver of my ati 3850hd | 22:40 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, okay, it is being seen | 22:40 |
| marceldv | Roasted: You probably need to download the live cd from clonezilla. When the disks are mounted you can't make an image. | 22:40 |
| Lasivian | Halitech: Ekiga was working, Cheese displayed nothing, then Cheese showed a multi-color "tv" screen and no resolution, then my video flaked out | 22:41 |
| Roasted | marceldv - I did. I'm booted to the LiveCD right now on the test computer behind me. I get the same error each time. | 22:41 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, if you run cheese does it work or give you an error | 22:41 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, ok, not sure then | 22:41 |
| agustin | how did i change the alsamixer soundcard? | 22:41 |
| marceldv | Roasted: You're trying to make an image of the XP box right? | 22:41 |
| Lasivian | I think it was because Cheese needed to be version 2.25, but I couldn;t figure out how to install that from source | 22:41 |
| Roasted | Yes. I am, marceldv. | 22:41 |
| gnutron | agustin: type lspci does it show your audigy card, we were talking audigy werent we? | 22:41 |
| agustin | gnutron, yeap | 22:42 |
| marceldv | Roasted: And you're sure none of the disks is mounted? | 22:42 |
| gnutron | agustin: type lspci, yes it lists it? | 22:42 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, usually its download, extract, then ./configure, make, make install, might need to do them as sudo | 22:42 |
| Izinucs | Roasted: if clonezilla doesn't work for you .. take a look at partimage from the "rescue live cd" | 22:43 |
| Roasted | marceldv -I went to the command line and saw the disk was mounted. I used umount to unmount it, then I used a command to get back into the GUI. Then again it still didn't work. | 22:43 |
| Lasivian | Halitech, aye, but on this thre was no makefile | 22:43 |
| * Lasivian shrugs | 22:43 | |
| Halitech | Lasivian, any readme file? | 22:43 |
| Lasivian | so I pretty much gave up and now I just want to get back to where I was before | 22:43 |
| Roasted | izinucs - I pretty much need to use clonezilla, though. It sems to have cloning speeds that are absolutely unreal, and I have 500 computers to deploy on my own. Speed will help me out so much. | 22:43 |
| gnutron | agustin: right click on your volume control, choose preferences, use the dropdown box and select the soundcard | 22:43 |
| f00fyf00f3rz | Where are owls indigenouss | 22:43 |
| Izinucs | Roasted: wow.. I've never compared the two for speed.. but if you've already looked so be it.. that's a lot of machines. | 22:44 |
| Roasted | besides, cl onezilla is based on partimage from what I've read... | 22:44 |

| agustin | couse i cant select audigy here | 22:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > f00fyf00f3rz | 22:45 |
| ubottu | f00fyf00f3rz, please see my private message | 22:45 |

| === hudock is now known as kane77 | ||
| Roasted | halitech - oh yeah, I have a 10/100 netgear switch here with me. I just don't understand how I am getting the image in the first place. I just assumed I should boot to the liveCD on the main computer, grab the image, then go to the DRBL Server (CloneZilla Server) and deploy it across the network then. | 22:45 |
| gnutron | agustin: i didnt know ATI did audio, choose creative labs | 22:46 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, ok, not sure what else to tell you | 22:46 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest54635 | ||
| Roasted | Out of all of the guides I've read with how to configure your CloneZilla SErver, I have yet to find one that tells me how I get the darn image in the first place. And on top of that, how to wire the thing up. Do the client computers and the server just go to the LAN ports? Does oneget plugged into the uplink? I just don't know and can't find any information on it. | 22:46 |
| agustin | my ati 3850hd have hdmi audio | 22:46 |

| cockn1gger | halitech: so i'm guessing if the video doesn't redetect on reboot i'm screwed? | 22:46 |
| Halitech | Roasted, not totaly sure but I think you just use an install cd | 22:46 |
| cockn1gger | Roasted, not totaly sure but I think you just use an install cd | 22:47 |
| agustin | i choose audigy but when i put alsamixer in the terminal it shows ati | 22:47 |
| cockn1gger | sup guyz | 22:47 |
| cockn1gger | i choose audigy but when i put alsamixer in the terminal it shows ati | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I suggest you guys stop that | 22:47 |
| cockn1gger | I suggest you guys stop that | 22:47 |
| gnutron | agustin: can you change it to creative labs audigy? | 22:47 |
| f00fyf00f3rz | Kick that guy out his tag is so offensive | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | done | 22:47 |
| gnutron | thx jack | 22:47 |
| f00fyf00f3rz | Thank you | 22:48 |
| Halitech | Lasivian, I would hazard a guess you are right | 22:48 |
| ruto | ciao a tutti | 22:48 |
| agustin | gnutron, i dont know how | 22:48 |
| Halitech | Jack_Sparrow, thank you | 22:48 |
| Roasted | Halitech - Meaning what? What install CD? The Windows install CD? Where am I using it? You know what I mean, there's just so many places that aren't covered in these guides I read. | 22:48 |
| gnutron | agustin: just click the dropdown box and make the creative entry stick instead of ATI | 22:48 |
| Halitech | Roasted, from what I can remember of what I've read, when you are setting up your PXE server, you can specify where the image (or cd) is | 22:49 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Could you repeat the error message you're getting? | 22:49 |
| Lasivian | Halitech, thanks | 22:49 |

| Jon5000 | Let me try another question: I have a dual boot setup with Vista, which is running out of space. Ubuntu has a 16gb partition but is only using about 2gb now. can someone advise me on a simple way to reduce ubuntu's partition by about 5gb and give it to windows? | 22:50 |
| gnutron | agustin: try this sudo apt-get install asoundconf-gtk | 22:50 |
| Roasted | Let's put it this way. HOW do I get an image "created" for an image server (clonezilla server) | 22:50 |
| Halitech | Roasted, what is the output of sudo mount? | 22:51 |
| albertico | marceldv, it doesn't have to do with the numlock | 22:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jon5000 use gparted, but I suggest you have a backup whenever you are working at the partition level | 22:51 |
| Roasted | Halitech - well, I have to log out of the gui and into terminal to type any commands... | 22:51 |
| Vhghost | Xchat-gnome not recieving dcc transferes / shows up in transferes window but does not start .. any ideas ? | 22:51 |
| Halitech | Roasted, why? just open a terminal | 22:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vhghost I dont think you are allowed to dcc in here | 22:51 |
| albertico | marceldv, I keep pressing it and typing but doesn't work | 22:51 |
| Roasted | Halitech - I'm booted to the LiveCD of CloneZilla. I'm not in Ubuntu. | 22:51 |
| gnutron | agustin: tell me if that worked, if so, try clicking system/preferences/default sound card in your menu. | 22:51 |
| Vhghost | not here but other chans | 22:51 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Try ctrl+alt+f1 | 22:52 |
| Halitech | Roasted, no terminal option in the menu? | 22:52 |
| Roasted | marceldv - no go. | 22:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vhghost try #xchat or whatever client you are suing | 22:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | using | 22:52 |
| Ketzu | Is there a way to see what packages are available on a repository? | 22:52 |
| Roasted | Halitech - No. Keep in mind, I'm working on two computers here. The one behind me is on the LiveCD for CloneZilla. | 22:52 |
| agustin | gnutron, ok wait a sec | 22:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ketzu synaptic | 22:52 |
| Halitech | Roasted, I know, pretty much ignoring the system you are on ;) | 22:52 |
| Roasted | Halitech - this is the KIND of screen I'm looking at. http://drbl.sourceforge.net/screenshot/?op=show&filepath=album//01_Clonezilla/09_ocs-sr-x.png | 22:52 |
| Ketzu | jack_sparrow: Without a gui | 22:53 |
| marceldv | Roasted: ctrl+alt+f2 neither? | 22:53 |
| Halitech | Roasted, ahhh, got ya now | 22:53 |
| Halitech | marceldv, think old school DOS installer window | 22:53 |
| Jon5000 | jack_sparrow: thank you. my main concern is that i will mess up the windows partition and make it unbootable. key files are all saved elsewhere so i am ok there. its just the OS i am afraid of losing | 22:53 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, it's only windows ;) | 22:54 |
| Roasted | ctrl alt F2 worked... | 22:54 |
| marceldv | Halitech: It's linux live cd. | 22:54 |
| Ketzu | Jack_Sparrow: That doesn't tell me how anyways... | 22:54 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: type 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' in a terminal, goto the http addresses and browse them. | 22:54 |
| Roasted | but the thing is, I dont know how to get the GUI back after I get to terminal besides restarting. I used to have the command for it but I dont know where I got it. | 22:54 |
| Halitech | marceldv, I know but it looks the same so wasn't sure if it would have multiple tty's | 22:54 |
| Ketzu | gnutron; That doesn't help either. I've done that. Packages are there. They aren't locally tough. | 22:54 |
| marceldv | Roasted: alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+f1 ? | 22:54 |
| eseven73 | if i install virtualbox-ose and since it has no usb support, will that mean my usb keyboard/mouse wont work ? | 22:55 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: easy for you to say you are not a newbie like me (probably), and you (probably ) have not completely failed at being able to share USB drives using samba with other windows computers... Cant cut the windows chord just yet. | 22:55 |
| Roasted | marceldv - CTRL ALT F2 worked for terminal. | 22:55 |
| Ketzu | I'm trying to find out why =\ | 22:55 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: try in a terminal, apt-cache search some-search-term | 22:55 |
| marceldv | Roasted: F1 should bring you back to the blue stuff | 22:55 |
| albertico | marceldv, I just fixed it... seems like some settings got changed on the System->Preference->Keyboard dialog | 22:55 |
| marceldv | albertico: Cool | 22:56 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: No results. What's really bothering me is it's working on one system but not another.. | 22:56 |
| ruto | ciao | 22:56 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, I consider myself a newbie in a lot of things even though I've been using Linux for 3 years ... have you checked out the howto on samba? | 22:56 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: are your repositories enabled? | 22:56 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: Not sure =| | 22:56 |
| Roasted | Marceldv - I used the GUI to the very last step of CloneZilla, where I name the image I'm about to make. I went to terminal, unmounted, back to GUI, hit enter... same error. | 22:56 |

| Jon5000 | Halitech: yes. in fact I have been able to share folders fine with samba. I understand the samba.conf file now better than i ever expected i could. its just the darn usb drive (which is fat32) that i cant seem to share. I have asked about it here but no relief. | 22:57 |
| psudo | Hello i just installed ubunutu server on my server how ever i do not have gnome installed i got took to the command line i was wondering if some one could help me install the desktop | 22:58 |
| Ketzu | gnutron; I don't have synaptic. | 22:58 |
| j0hnnyX | Can someone direct me to a wiki that will tell me how to get Iced Tea working so that it won't display improperly | 22:58 |

| marceldv | Roasted: Where is the image written to? | 22:58 |
| eseven73 | if i install virtualbox-ose and since it has no usb support, will that mean my usb keyboard/mouse wont work ? | 22:58 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: Doesn't | 22:58 |
| Roasted | marveldv - I have no idea, to be honest. I'm just following the tutorial I found. I was hoping to search the hard drive after I make the image so I can pull it off of the computer and save it. | 22:58 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, are you sharing a folder on the drive? might not work if you are trying to share the root of the drive | 22:58 |
| marceldv | eseven73: Will work | 22:59 |
| mikhailt | is ubuntu using /etc/network/interfaces as the conf for the interfaces? I can't seem to get it to be enabled even tho the network manager works fine after changing stuff, but modifying the interfaces file doesn't seem to change anything | 22:59 |

| Jon5000 | Halitech: I have tried to do both. I am able to see the drive from the windows pc, but unable to access it (you do not have permission, or some such.) I have messed around wih permissions and ownership, but the drive is fat32 so none of that has worked. | 23:00 |

| Ketzu | gnutron: I'm trying to install passenger. rubygems are being a pain so I'm trying to install it through the aptitude | 23:02 |
| marceldv | Roasted: When you choose local_dev on the first page. Does it ask which partition to load? | 23:02 |
| Halitech | psudo, shouldnt have to , either reboot when its done in stalling or run gdm and it should take you to the desktop | 23:02 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: aptitude should work, use sudo of course | 23:02 |
| Ketzu | The package I'm trying to install is libapache2-mod-passenger; I downlaoded the deb after running into the sources problem, and installed it, but then the .so file isn't being placed properly | 23:03 |
| Roasted | marceldv - It brings up SDA1 80.0GB NTFS... so I hit enter. | 23:03 |

| scientes | /etc/localtime cannot be overwritten: Failed to create file '/etc/localtime.0B04LU': Read-only file system | 23:04 |

| scientes | i cant change the timezone | 23:04 |

| eseven73 | mikhailt: thanks | 23:04 |
| psudo | Halitech, Why dose server edition not come with a gui? | 23:04 |
| j0hnnyX | Cause when I go to chat in Java applets the text all shows up half chopped off | 23:04 |
| j0hnnyX | Just like that image in that link I posted | 23:04 |
| Sylphid|work | and i cant seem to delete it ... although i havent tried in run level 1 | 23:05 |
| mikhailt | psudo: server are usually headless, thus never need GUI for it | 23:05 |
| lubosz | hi | 23:05 |
| Roasted | marceldv - maybe if I plug in my external hard drive and select that to save the image to?? | 23:05 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: you need the development repo enabled, or deb src entry to get source files if i recall correctly. | 23:05 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: correct, chmod and chown did not work | 23:05 |
| scientes | why would /etc be a read only firesystem its not | 23:05 |
| marceldv | Roasted: That should work.. | 23:05 |
| scientes | and there is space | 23:05 |
| lubosz | my apache forbids symlinks to be followed owned by me and the group www-data | 23:05 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Post back any results :) | 23:05 |
| lubosz | symlinks pointed to stuff owned by root are followed | 23:05 |
| lubosz | wtf | 23:05 |
| psudo | mikearr, It should still come with an option on install :D | 23:05 |
| lubosz | isn't apache in the group www-data? | 23:05 |
| scientes | help | 23:05 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: shouldn't. It's a third-party repo. one sec | 23:05 |
| mikhailt | apache is www-ata yep | 23:06 |
| scientes | /etc read-only filesystem ???? | 23:06 |
| mikhailt | www-data | 23:06 |
| sdf | anybody can help me with a 64 bit MUL with x86 architect? | 23:06 |
| lubosz | so, why it forbids me the symlinks | 23:06 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: Upgrading to intreped fixed it | 23:06 |
| R0b0t1 | For some reason when trying to update a program from a .deb, it says "Older version in software channel" and proceeds with the download, but the installed package is not the newer version :| | 23:06 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: i noticed the third party repo, that could pose problems. | 23:06 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: Software isn't in the regular hehe | 23:06 |
| lubosz | user:www-data 775 -> user:www-data Forbidden | 23:06 |
| Roasted | marceldv - Will do. Booting up now. :) | 23:06 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, not sure unless its the way its being mounted | 23:06 |
| lubosz | user:www-data 775 -> root:root works | 23:07 |
| gusto5 | R0b0t1, uninstall previous first and then install new? | 23:07 |
| Roasted | marceldv - it makes sense that it would work like that because I tested this on ANOTHER spare PC I have that dual boots... and it worked then but that's because I was saving the image to another partition. | 23:07 |
| Halitech | psudo, because servers do not use gui's | 23:07 |
| R0b0t1 | gusto5: That did not work. | 23:07 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: how do you mean the way its mounted. I have unmounted and remounted it btw | 23:07 |
| gnutron | Ketzu: i hope my upgrade to intrepid goes well, i havent found the nerve just yet. | 23:07 |
| R0b0t1 | gusto5: When I did that, the "older" version was reinstalled. | 23:07 |
| marceldv | Roasted: So true =) | 23:07 |
| scientes | ahh /dev/sda1 read-only wtf | 23:07 |
| gusto5 | R0b0t1, what's the package for? | 23:08 |
| Ketzu | gnutron: This is on a slicehost, basically just an image extract haha | 23:08 |
| mikhailt | psudo: well, if you wanted GUI, you shouldve started with the regular ubuntu, servers are intended for sysadmins who know they never want GUi and just intend to run it headless | 23:08 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, I'm wondering if you are mounting it as your user or as root, maybe that is having a weird side effect on it | 23:08 |
| R0b0t1 | gusto5: Free Pascal. "fpc" for apt-get, etc. | 23:08 |
| ataufik | dear all... what is the program should I use to as vpn client / dialer in Intrepid? currently vpnc package is already installed. The modem I use is Merlin U630 which not been detected by NM and therefore I have to connet to internet using manual wvdial... | 23:08 |

| Jon5000 | Halitech: hmmm. this is getting out of my league. But I do think that i unmounted and remounted to specifically correct this. Now i dont recall whether the remount as user didnt take and the drive reverted to root or not. i seem to recall that happening but have had to reinstall since then and am not 100% sure. | 23:09 |

| R0b0t1 | gusto5: It says installed version is 2.2.2 (which is what I want, the older one is 2.2.0), although when typing "fpc" on the terminal brings up version 2.2.0 | 23:11 |
| Halitech | psudo, then if you are a good sysadmin you shouldn't need a gui as the machine won't have a monitor attached to it | 23:11 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: thats one thing i didnt try (fstab) mainly because i havent gotten comfortable yet that i understand what i would be trying to do in there... what fstab does and why, eg | 23:11 |

| R0b0t1 | gusto5: No, no... In the synaptic window, it says the installed version is 2.2.2. But what actually runs is 2.2.0. | 23:14 |
| Jon5000 | halitech: how is that different from umount and mount each time. i mean, what little i understood was that fstab just made it so that you didnt have to do that each time... but even after i did that manually it didnt work. what else does fstab do that would be different? | 23:14 |
| gnutron | tim167_: try a hdd partition e.g. /dev/sdaX where X is an arbitrary integer, fdisk -l to see partitions. | 23:14 |
| mikhailt | systm: what exactly are you reading | 23:14 |

| Jon5000 | halitech: thats what i thought. but even when i know where and how its monted, ie in situations where i just mounted it, i wasnt able to share it. So i still am unclear why fstab will help me at this point in my problem. (i can see how it would be helpful if my problem were inconsistency in ability toi share, but i have never gotten the thing shred in the first place) | 23:17 |
| Halitech | cbarreda, probably doesn't have proper ownership to read it, find it with nautilus and right click and go to properties, then permissions | 23:17 |

| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: none that i am aware of and i use ubuntu all the time for servers, the only exception is when you want to do scripting but most of the time you do that on your machien and copying it to the machine | 23:19 |
| jclbrt | tho i wish that verizon had a version of the VZaccess software for linu | 23:19 |
| gnutron | tim167_: you'll need to mount it properly, filesystem type, and permissions. | 23:19 |

| gnutron | tim167_: /dev/sda1 is a block device pointing to a partition. use /etc/fstab to auto mount it. and you can use 'mount' with parameters on the cmd line | 23:21 |

| systm | mikhailt: i believe so, i think is a mounting issue.. or disk decrypting one | 23:21 |
| hatter243 | My totem player has stopped trying to authenticate when connecting to a .htaccess controlled stream. libsoup errors 401. Anyone know a way to get it to ask for the password as I remember it doing not too long ago? | 23:21 |
| mikhailt | systm: you dont see it on the desktop, you try mounting it thur cli? | 23:22 |
| jclbrt | has anyone used Tmobiles wireless broadband | 23:22 |
| marceldv | Roasted: That should be enough for testing purposes :) | 23:22 |
| Roasted | marceldv - I'm not a network administrator, I'm a computer technician... so my intention here is to use spare computers + network accessories to my advantage without implementing things into the network I don't have control of. | 23:22 |
| gnutron | tim167_: man mount or check out the ubuntu site for mounting drives | 23:22 |
| zedster | how can you rebuild a dpkg system when you removed all the usr and var files on mistake? | 23:23 |
| Roasted | marceldv - so what I want to do is use this 80gb 1gb RAM P4 computer (one of them) to use as my official server, and put it in the tech office with the gigabit switch... then whenever I need to image a computer, I'll just bring it in the office, push the image on the local LAN, and be on my way. | 23:23 |
| zedster | it has no memory of what packages I've installed | 23:23 |
| cbarreda | Halitech do you know if evolution has files in folders other than the .evolution folder? | 23:23 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: sorry. not failed to mount it. i meant it fails to find it sometimes (infrequently) and other times assigns it the wrong letter (also infrequent) rendering it unshared and i have to reassign and re-share. even tho infrequent i felt this was unacceptable, and thougt ubuntu would be a more powerful, study and better solution. i am finding that not to be the case | 23:23 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: and you tink moving to ubuntu is going to help with RAID? | 23:23 |
| tim167_ | gnutron, man mount is _very_ long , but thanks anyway...i'll do some reading | 23:23 |
| gloryman_ | Hi all | 23:23 |
| Halitech | zedster, how do you 'mistakenly' remove those folders? | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zedster Easiest is to restore from a backup.. if you nuked dpkg then you have a problem | 23:23 |
| Roasted | marceldv - also, if I get this working, I plan to utilize my laptop as a dual boot (Ubuntu/XP Pro) and use Ubuntu as a server for clonezilla... so when I go to the elementary schools (I work in a school district) I can use my laptop, which I have on me at all times, to push the image in a completely different building miles away from my office. | 23:23 |
| Halitech | cbarreda, not as far as personal files | 23:23 |
| zedster | Halitech: stupidity ? | 23:24 |
| gnutron | tim167_: look on the ubuntu site for mounting partitions, its easier than the man pages | 23:24 |
| hatter243 | Roasted, is wiki.systemimager.org the kind of thing you're thinking of? | 23:24 |
| zedster | Jack_Sparrow: I restored the var/lib from backup | 23:24 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, have you considered that maybe there is a problem with the drive and thats why its not sharing properly? | 23:24 |
| tim167_ | gnutron, ok thanks | 23:24 |
| zedster | but not the usr and such | 23:24 |
| zedster | it won't let me install files | 23:24 |
| cbarreda | Halitech thanks. Guess will try an old windows trick. Create new folders, copy the .db and hope it works | 23:24 |
| Halitech | zedster, guess that answer works as well as any :) | 23:24 |
| Paw | Hey guys I am installing ubuntu, I checked the disk and no errors on it, now I am at a cool back ground, and a grey box in the middle with a cursor, but it is not changing any ideas? | 23:24 |
| systm | mikhailt: its mounted on the desktop, but its like its blank | 23:24 |
| zedster | Halitech: honesty is a good policy right? | 23:25 |
| Roasted | hatter243 - Well, sort of... but I dont use Linux at work besides for my personal troubleshooting reasons. :( | 23:25 |
| malcom2073 | Question: sound worked earlier today, I left my computer sit for about 10 hours and then I just tried to play audio and I've tried banshee and rythymbox, both players lock up when I try to play any audio. When I click "Test" in system -> preferences -> sound settings, it says Failed to connect: connection refused.Any thoughts on what could cause this? | 23:25 |
| RobertGonzalez | mikhailt: No. But we are confident that making the move to Ubuntu was the right choice. Its just that the folks around here are heavy on the Unix experience, not so much on the Linux and what linux they do have is pretty much all RH. Installation in the past has been easy because it was known by experience. Ubuntu is apparently significantly more different than RH. | 23:25 |
| psudo | Halitech, problem "User Switcher" has quit unexpectedly | 23:25 |
| gnutron | zedster: i think you're fubar'd man. i'd be looking for an install disk. | 23:25 |
| psudo | i keep hitting reload but nothing | 23:25 |
| hatter243 | Roasted, suppose you could also try a kickstart network but so far for me that's bit a bit of a troublesome thing to get happy | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tim167_ sudo mkdir /media/blah then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/blah substitute your drive for sda1 | 23:25 |
| Halitech | cbarreda, I wonder if you copy the files to the desktop, make the owner root then change them back to you and move them back, wonder if that would do anything | 23:25 |
| Halitech | zedster, makes it easier to help if we can :) | 23:26 |
| marceldv | Roasted: If you setup multiple virtual machines with virtualbox or whatever virtualization software. You could create a virtual network to test out your setup. You don need multiple system. One system running virtualbox is enough. Though don't expect any superspeed though | 23:26 |
| Halitech | psudo, no idea, never used it | 23:26 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: i am open to this suggestion for sure. but by wrong with the drive i am not sure what you mean. can you explain a possibility>?again, now i think we are over my head. | 23:26 |

| mikhailt | systm: does it work anywhere else? | 23:26 |
| Roasted | Anybody who has used CloneZilla Live, how long did it take to make an image?? I'm making an image now and after 10 minutes its at 2% | 23:26 |
| badawi | !azureus | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pabremer Just ask your question and wait | 23:27 |
| ubottu | azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo | 23:27 |

| _cb | zedster couple of things that have worked for me. 1.- If booting from CD is not working try running Ubuntu from CD and installing from there. If that does not work change mode to safe graphics (F4) on initial install | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | J4k3- Please dont | 23:27 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: dying? that sounds technical. FYI its a new drive, purchased 1 year ago, when it began its natural life. Dying... not to get too existential, but what does that mean? | 23:28 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: i wouldn't say it would be that big of a different, just replacing some of the commands and it still is the same in most of the way, its the question of how fast they update their packages and core stuff | 23:28 |
| Roasted | marceldv - Yeah, like I said, my control over the network is limited... and I always have my laptop with me... so what I need to do will bes ufficient if I can get my laptop working. But I also plan to use the HP computer I'm using now for mass deployment hooked up to our 48 port gigabit switch for when the 500 pcs come. | 23:28 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, means that it is going to stop working....have you used it alot? | 23:28 |
| dalekleader | is it safe to delete files core and core.28687 from te home folder? what are these files for? | 23:28 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: however RH is much slower than Ubuntu for sure on some area, mostly iSCSI | 23:28 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: i mean the other way, Ubuntu is slower than RH | 23:29 |
| J4k3- | Jack_Sparrow: don't what? | 23:29 |
| azimout | dalekleader: yes, you can delete them. some applications create them when they crash | 23:29 |
| RobertGonzalez | mikhailt: Our biggest issue at the moment is that with each iteration of Fedora their support for the previous iteration all but stops. So in order to get the newest versions of software packages we need to install an entirely new OS or make all sorts of changes to the system to handle the newest versions of packages while maintaining dependencies. | 23:29 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Well I don't know anything about CloneZilla. But probably you setup a clonezilla server. And use the live cd to get the image from the server. | 23:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | J4k3- Please dont put up posts like that | 23:29 |
| J4k3- | xen is outrageously easy to implement and use. | 23:29 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Though,, Don't ask me how. Don't know anything about it. | 23:29 |
| dalekleader | azimout, is it normal for them to get 250mb+ each? | 23:29 |
| Roasted | marceldv - I think I know what I did... I think I utilized the entire 80gb drive as an image... whereas I just wanted to use the USED blocks on the HDD as the image. | 23:30 |
| Lasivian | sigh, I just rebooted and my wireless will not connect | 23:30 |
| RobertGonzalez | mikhailt: Of course, since we are more knowledgable in the RH flavor of Linux setting it up is not really an issue. Ubuntu is proving to be a tad more difficult than was expected. | 23:30 |
| Roasted | So basically I was making an image thats 3.5gb into an image thats 80gb with 77gb worth of free space. | 23:30 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: ummm. hard to define alot. I dont think so. It is a 500GB drive that stores photos, music, video and documents. About 230GB is used. Parts of it are It is backed up daily, weekly, and monthly. So i guess its read from somewhat frequently. but not writtent to extensively... | 23:30 |
| Pabremer | I was using Ubuntu 8.04 then I installed Mandriva 2009, but the "mandriva's lilo" did not have the option to Ubuntu so I tried to add Ubuntu in the "lilo.conf" but I failed then when I restarted my computer I cannot access both systems... What can I do to acess Ubuntu again? | 23:30 |
| RobertGonzalez | mikhailt: But I think it is all good. As long as we can install the server version without the GUI and we can manage it as we are now (through remoting in or through SSH) we are golden. | 23:31 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, what format is it? NTFS? fat32? | 23:31 |
| badawi | Pabremer: mandriva uses grub just like ubuntu, and by default it has "othe linux" selection | 23:31 |
| marceldv | Roasted: Ok.. Maybe there's a setting somewhere.. Anyway I gotta go. Good luck !! :) | 23:31 |
| Paw | Need Help: I am doing an install for Ubuntu, I am stuck at a redish background and a grey box.. I can move the mouse but it is laggy.. Any ideas what to do? | 23:31 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: that is why in most of my work, i use ESX to install the OSes even for SQL/Emaiil servers. it is far much easier to set up a new virtualized Ubuntu to test the new OS against our products and softwares and crap like that, once it is done, we move it forward and leave the noncompatibles behind so that we can fix it | 23:31 |
| Roasted | thanks! | 23:31 |
| marceldv | Roasted: No problem! | 23:32 |
| Paw | Need Help: I am doing an install for Ubuntu, I am stuck at a redish background and a grey box.. I can move the mouse but it is laggy.. Any ideas what to do? | 23:32 |
| Pabremer | badawi: ok, but it didn't appear in the grub | 23:32 |
| azimout | dalekleader: yes... can you remember any of your programs crashing recently? | 23:32 |
| pan | can u backup windows by mounting first then tar czvfp backup.tgz? | 23:32 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: Fat32. FWIW, I have seen others posting in forums with similar problems but havent seen any great resolution from the heavens. in some cases the people solved their problem with solutions that didint work for me. | 23:32 |
| Pabremer | badawi: instead of conventional grub, is being used Mandriva's grub | 23:33 |
| azimout | paw: did you get any error messages? | 23:33 |
| Paw | azimout: no | 23:33 |
| dalekleader | azimout, no, it was the first time I saw those files since feb | 23:33 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech: in other cases there was no resolution | 23:33 |
| Halitech | Jon5000, ok, was thinking maybe NTFS which does seem to be flaky at times with mounting | 23:33 |
| mikhailt | Paw: are you after the installation or during the installation | 23:33 |
| RobertGonzalez | mikhailt: ESX? I think I am more n00B than I let on. :( | 23:33 |
| badawi | Pabremer: is mandriva grub on mbr and ubunt grub on /dev/sda2 or something like that? | 23:33 |

| mrwes | anyone know if the ppa repos for open office 3.0 for Hardy will ever be available? | 23:46 |
| tim167_ | when i pipe a sudo command with | and the part after | should also be 'sudo-ed' do i repeat sudo after | ? | 23:46 |
| fosco_ | mrwes: don't think so | 23:46 |
| LjL | tim167_: yes, although it's kind of unusual for *both* parts of a piped command to need sudo | 23:46 |
| mrwes | doesn't make friggin' sense they have them for Ibex, but not for a LTS version | 23:47 |
| erUSUL | tim167_: which command line ? | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tim167_ sudo should hold for 5 minutes (that window only) | 23:47 |
| mrwes | fosco_, thanks... | 23:47 |
| psudo | hmm can some one explain to me what a dns server dose exactly ? | 23:47 |
| tim167_ | LjL, erUSUL its this: gzip -dc /mnt/hdb1/system_drive_backup.img.gz | dd of=/dev/hda | 23:47 |
| psudo | i googled for a definition but uh didnt recive quite what i was looking for | 23:47 |
| Pabremer | I installed Mandriva then the ubuntu's grub dessapeared... Trying to add ubuntu in the mandriva's grub I did something wrong and now i cannot access mandriva and ubuntu... what can i do to access ubuntu again? | 23:47 |
| erUSUL | tim167_: yes you need sudo i this case... | 23:47 |
| Halitech | psudo, translates words into IP addresses so the net can understand them | 23:47 |
| j_xinudsb | wiki DNS | 23:48 |
| etherael | I notice there seems to be no irc server in the ubuntu packages, but that's not that big of a deal because I'm imagining that there's now some new and jazzy better web based collab tool that would do the same job as an irc server would otherwise do that I can whack on my local web server and then hand out the web address to people. Does such a beast exist? | 23:48 |
| azimout | psudo: try wikipedia... | 23:48 |
| tim167_ | erUSUL, ok, but do i have to repeat 'sudo' after the '|' ? | 23:48 |
| psudo | Halitech, So what is the point of having a dns server ? | 23:48 |
| Pabremer | !paste > Jack_Sparrow | 23:48 |
| ubottu | Jack_Sparrow, please see my private message | 23:48 |
| Jon5000 | Halitech, good to chat w. you. gotta run. thanks. | 23:48 |
| kitche | etherael: there is many irc servers in the repos | 23:48 |
| LjL | tim167_: sudo on both, yes. you can also always go to "sudo -i" when doing complex operations like that | 23:48 |
| Halitech | psudo, would you rather have to remember millions of IP addresses? | 23:48 |
| badawi | psudo: dns server translates www.google.com into 66.102.9.104 and ... | 23:48 |
| badawi | !ot | psudo | 23:49 |
| ubottu | psudo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:49 |
| etherael | kitche, hmmm nothing coming up except clients when I search for "irc server" ? | 23:49 |
| erUSUL | tim167_: i will use it only after the | i do not think you need sudo tu unzip a file but you sure need it to wrtte to a raw block device | 23:49 |
| mikhailt | etherael: there are irc servers, you might be looking int eh wrong place | 23:49 |
| * Flare183 laughs | 23:49 | |
| kitche | etherael: hmm odd try to see if unrealircd comes up | 23:49 |
| mikhailt | etherael: usually the servers dont name themselve irc server | 23:49 |
| tim167_ | LjL ok thanks, then I think i found why i got 'permission denied' before :) | 23:49 |
| etherael | checking. | 23:49 |
| LjL | tim167_: actually anyway whether or not you need "sudo" on the "gzip" part depends on what permissions the /mnt/hdb1 mount has | 23:49 |
| etherael | kitche, nope, nothing, and it's searching in all available apps, I'll try apt-get from cmdline h5. | 23:50 |
| Paw | I am happy this irc channel is here.. its helpful :) | 23:50 |
| tim167_ | LjL is it ok to use sudo even if it's not needed (i started the command now, but i could interrupt it if necessary) | 23:50 |
| psudo | badawi, it has somthing to do with ubuntu i am asking the questions because i installed a dns server on my server and i wanted to know how to use it :P | 23:50 |
| LjL | tim167_: it's bad form (and potentially dangerous if you mistype something), but it will work just fine. | 23:51 |
| tim167_ | LjL ok cool, thanks | 23:51 |
| Halitech | psudo, unless you register it then its not going to do anything | 23:51 |
| badawi | psudo: you don't need to have it installed, trust me | 23:51 |
| psudo | badawi just cause i seem like a retard dont mean i dont want to learn how to use it :D | 23:52 |
| jayk- | does ubuntu support ext4? | 23:52 |
| mrwes | uh? | 23:52 |
| Paw | Suggestion: What should I do for ubuntu partion, guided use the largest continuous free space? | 23:52 |
| badawi | psudo: nobody called you that, dns server is for ISPs | 23:52 |

| mrwes | Paw, try a manual and setup a root / , a /home and a swap | 23:53 |
| Flare183 | jayk-: I didn't know that ext4 existed | 23:53 |
| chronographer | mpd wont play music (it usually does) | 23:53 |
| psudo | badawi, i am looking into web and domain hosting :P | 23:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, well how much free space do you want to give to ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| Halitech | badawi, hosting companies will use them as well if they are big enough | 23:53 |

| Paw | indy: Well i had 20 gigs free is that enough for ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| macondo | I'm not able to mount an audio cd, could it be DRM? | 23:54 |
| mikhailt | badawi: no it aint just for ISP, most businesses use it as well not just ISP | 23:54 |
| genii | psudo: When someone requests a domain you own, their browser or so asks how to get there and resolve the name to an ip. So thru a chain of requests finally some box asks your machine "are you the primary nameserver for this domain?" If so then it responds and then they now arrive at your domain | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, if you're this co9njfused, i would ust setup a / and a swap | 23:54 |
| jeremy_ | Coulod somebody please help me set up dual monitors on ubuntu | 23:54 |
| jbernard_ | jayk-: not currently, i believe the testing team is working on it now | 23:54 |
| jayk- | cool | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, 20gigs is plenty, is this machine gonna dual boot? | 23:54 |
| Flare183 | !dualhead | jeremy_ | 23:54 |
| ubottu | jeremy_: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 23:54 |
| jayk- | cool, cant wait for it. :) | 23:54 |
| Paw | Indy: for now until I can figure out enough about ubuntu to take off horrid windows. | 23:54 |
| mrwes | Paw, there are plenty of on line guides http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801404 | 23:54 |
| Halitech | psudo, you would be better off using something like zoneedit.com since it is already registered as a DNS server | 23:54 |
| kitche | jayk-: I believe it does but not sure since I have not touched ext4 | 23:54 |
| Paw | Actually, just going to use it all for ubuntu :-p. | 23:55 |
| jeremy_ | um | 23:55 |
| kitche | Halitech: huh you don't have to register a DNS server | 23:55 |
| genii | psudo: You may want to ask along this line in #ubuntu-server since desktop version does not need or have bind installed | 23:55 |
| jeremy_ | could somebody actually HELP ME set up dual head | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, then i would leave you a little space on the drive for windows. | 23:55 |
| punzada | does anyone know any ncurses based binary news readers? | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | maybe give 15gigs to ubuntu. | 23:55 |
| jeremy_ | not just give me a dictionary definition? | 23:55 |
| === whack is now known as peoples | ||
| Paw | Indy: I am going to take off windows I think. | 23:55 |
| Halitech | kitche, if its not registered somewhere then how will the other servers know to look for it? | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, i w9ouldn't do that, you'll ended up frustrated, and using windows again in less than a week | 23:55 |
| jeremy_ | somebody please help me | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | happens to everyone who does that without at least experimenting first | 23:55 |
| Paw | Indy: I have my laptop with everything I need, My desktop is old and something to fiddle with :-p | 23:55 |
| jbernard_ | jayk-: you're free to use ext4 now, but I doubt ted's got all the kinks worked out yet | 23:56 |
| jayk- | ext4 might be in jaunty? | 23:56 |
| Pabremer | i installed mandriva ubuntu didn't appear in the mandriva's grub... trying to fix it I modificatead the mandriva's grub and now i cannot acces mandriva and ubuntu... what should i do to access ubuntu again? | 23:56 |
| jayk- | alpha1? | 23:56 |
| chronographer | anyone help with audio playback please? http://pastebin.com/m5fc3f7f1 | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, oh, well in that case, that would be a good idea, just tell it to take over the whole drive, and it will do everything else | 23:56 |
| jbernard_ | jayk-: i wouldn't be surprised | 23:56 |
| Paw | Indy: I think I did, It saids Ubuntu 100% so.. yeah | 23:56 |
| Pici | jayk-: Some of it should be in there, but ext4 itself is not finished. | 23:56 |
| kitche | Halitech: easy it's just a config file really that you setup to tell a root server about the DNS but you don't register a DNS server only time you need to register a DNS server is though a registrar so that it actually knows where the domain points to for DNS | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Paw, ok. | 23:56 |
| mrwes | Paw, Have you tried a Live CD to see if Ubuntu will run with your hardware? | 23:56 |
| jayk- | yeah..i shouldnt use ext4 on my mailserver... | 23:57 |
| Paw | Indy: And Windows is crap.. so bye bye :-p I am fiddling with it on my old desktop so when I am ready, I am going to put my laptop into ubuntu! | 23:57 |
| jayk- | with these large drives, fsck takes forever...like 45 minutes | 23:57 |
| Paw | mrwes: I have had ubuntu on this computer before and it runs, but I didnt have time to fiddle and only one computer, so windows went back on it | 23:57 |
| Pici | jayk-: Definitely not, I wouldn't use it unless you are planning to develop the filesystem itself. | 23:57 |
| Halitech | kitche, but you need to register with the root server so it wil accept the information | 23:57 |
| mrwes | Paw, gotcha | 23:57 |
| Pabremer | i installed mandriva ubuntu didn't appear in the mandriva's grub... trying to fix it I modificatead the mandriva's grub and now i cannot acces mandriva and ubuntu... what should i do to access ubuntu again? | 23:57 |
| genii | jayk-: Try running it on a 7 hard drive raid 5 with all 1Tb drives :/ | 23:57 |
| Paw | So now i have a laptop with windows and everything important and a free computer to fiddle with! | 23:57 |
| Paw | So if it goes boom no biggy | 23:57 |
| jayk- | genii: i have a 4gb array with 6 drives and 1 spare | 23:58 |
| jayk- | but im using zfs | 23:58 |
| mikhailt | Halitech: yes you register the domain with the domain registrar and they send the DNS info to the root servers | 23:58 |
| mrwes | Paw, yah I do that too.. I have my desktop running Hardy LTS and my laptop running Ibex | 23:58 |
| Paw | mrwes: Very nice, I have my laptop (dont kill me..) Windows vista, and my desktop setting up ubuntu.. | 23:58 |
| mrwes | although Ibex has been pretty stable | 23:58 |
| Halitech | mikhailt, so the DNS server is still being registered | 23:58 |
| almark | Is is possible to upgrade Ubuntu intrepix 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio, the Studio live cd gave me problems installing. The cd is Ubuntu 8.10 also | 23:58 |
| jayk- | genii: oops..4tb using raid6 | 23:58 |
| kitche | Halitech: no you don't | 23:59 |
| mrwes | Paw, Ibex runs great on my Dell D600 | 23:59 |
| Paw | mrwes: Only thing I think this ati radeon card on my desktop is going to give me some bad news.. | 23:59 |
| Paw | mrwes: I have a hp 64 bit | 23:59 |
| elementz | is there a difference between the nvidia driver provided in the repositories, and the legacy driver? | 23:59 |
| genii | jayk-: It's painful, I know. I usually let it run overnight | 23:59 |
| mrwes | Paw, you might want to go with Ibex then, better support for ATI cards | 23:59 |
| fosco_ | elementz: legacy is for old ones (also provided by repos) | 23:59 |
| Paw | mrwes: Oh really? Damn already started installing lol | 23:59 |
