| mrwes | Paw: it's version 8.10 | 00:00 |
| elementz | fosco_: ok, so there is no difference between the driver in the repos and the driver provided by nvidia? | 00:00 |
| steve1967 | I wonder when they are going to fix the problem with nvidia display drivers and 3d desktop. In this config the buttons in the title bar wont redraw correctly at times. | 00:00 |
| Halitech | Paw, Ibex is the latest version of Ubuntu | 00:00 |

| Veinor | for some reason, on my dual monitor laptop setup, Ubuntu always treats the laptop monitor as the secondary monitor (it puts the GDM screen on the other one, the panels start there, etc.) | 00:01 |
| Veinor | how do I change this? | 00:01 |
| Paw | Im a sophmore in college, CS major.. just started my programming classes... trying to get ahead by forcing my self :) | 00:01 |

| mrwes | nunocruz, there are several programs....dvd::rip, acidrip, avidemux, etc | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paddy_EIRE It installs a lot of stuff he really should have anyhow.. | 00:04 |
| SergeantPony | anyone using vpnc? | 00:04 |
| Wicked | i already have the restricted stuff installed | 00:04 |
| jbernard_ | SergeantPony: yep | 00:04 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, yeah I prefer to let people install as they go | 00:04 |

| nbeebo | anyone know a good site for guides on how to start a forum? | 00:04 |
| almark | thanks | 00:05 |
| rdw200169 | almark: yeah, just, after installing ubuntu (regular ubuntu), just add the ubuntu studio repos, and apt-get install ubuntu-studio | 00:05 |
| Halitech | nbeebo, phpbb | 00:05 |
| SergeantPony | jbernard: can you help me`with the conf file? | 00:05 |
| cr4z3d | nbeebo: you can try out drupal for a full fledged content management system with forum capabilities | 00:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, ubuntu-restricted-extras does not really convey a lot of information about what you are installing and what it may be used for | 00:05 |
| almark | :rdw200169 hmm its that easy huh thanks | 00:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, I feel people learn better this way | 00:05 |
| rdw200169 | almark: the same thing goes for kubuntu, xubuntu, etc... | 00:05 |
| jbernard_ | SergeantPony: i can try, i use the network-manager interface, so i never have to modify the config file | 00:05 |
| === peoples is now known as crash | ||
| Halitech | psudo, in theory yes, you could host your own domain you purchase from any regsitrar | 00:06 |
| === crash is now known as cash | ||
| nbeebo | halitech no thank you i dont like it.,.. | 00:06 |
| almark | :rdw200169 thats is just to cool :) how do I get the repos, I'm still new to Ubuntu | 00:06 |
| SergeantPony | jbernard: ok, thanks | 00:06 |
| nbeebo | cr4z3d yesi will try whatever that means | 00:06 |
| rdw200169 | almark: check the ubuntu studio website, they have them | 00:06 |
| Halitech | nbeebo, there are lots of forum software out there, just pick one you like the looks of and install it on a server | 00:06 |
| almark | :rdw200169 just repos and apt-get install (studio) is all that I need | 00:06 |
| badawi | SergeantPony: kvpnc might be able to do what you need | 00:06 |
| RobertGonzalez | Halitech: I think there is that option but he says that the installer is telling him that installing without a GUI could lead to things not working right. Seems odd for Ubuntu, but I took him at his word | 00:07 |
| mrwes | Paw, bwahahah...nice | 00:08 |
| Paw | alright restarting! lets se how ubuntu is! | 00:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Wicked, If you open "System > Administration > Software Sources" and look in the "Third-Party Software" and see if the "Partner Repository" is ticked/enabled. | 00:08 |
| rdw200169 | almark: ah, it seems that the ubuntu studio stuff is in the normal repos. | 00:08 |
| === mt is now known as peoples | ||
| jbernard_ | SergeantPony: you'll need your username, group name, passwork and group password | 00:09 |
| Halitech | RobertGonzalez, I would certainly try, something doesn';t sound right or he wanted th gui cause he doesn't want to do things on the command line | 00:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rdw200169 Did they add it for ibex..? Good to know thanks | 00:09 |
| Wicked | Paddy_EIRE, no its not | 00:09 |
| rdw200169 | Jack_Sparrow: almark, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy | 00:09 |
| Paw | Thank you all who helped me, I am now at the desktop of ubuntu!!!! | 00:09 |
| almark | :rdw200196 I'm still new what are repos | 00:09 |
| mikhailt | Halitech: he already left but yea i told him the same thing, some people just don't like to deal with the Cli | 00:09 |
| eseven73 | !yay | Paw | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Paw: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:09 |
| Paw | Now what to do.. | 00:10 |
| almark | thanks guys | 00:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, Ubuntu_Studio is now an official add-on in the same fashion as edubuntu | 00:10 |
| sobersabre | hi. | 00:10 |
| rdw200169 | Jack_Sparrow: almarkthe rules should be the same for ibex, as far as what applications you're installing | 00:10 |
| Paw | umm now that i have it installed and semi working what do i do ahah | 00:10 |
| mikhailt | Paw: you can do whatever you do normally | 00:10 |
| Halitech | mikhailt, I was nervous of it at first but now I find it easier in alot of cases | 00:10 |
| Paw | mik: thats boring lol | 00:10 |
| Wicked | Paddy_EIRE, do i want these enabled? or should i leave them disabled? | 00:10 |
| rdw200169 | Paddy_EIRE: thanks for clearing that up | 00:10 |
| === keres_ is now known as keres`away | ||

| Paddy_EIRE | rdw200169, : | 00:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 00:10 |
| sobersabre | if I am setting up ntp server on a machine, do I need to run ntpdate localhost once in a while, or does ntpd keep system time in sync with the local ntpd ? | 00:10 |
| NickyMC | Yo, yo. | 00:11 |
| Paw | Oh wow.. 161 updates.. | 00:11 |
| mikhailt | Halitech: the scripting and the pipling FTW | 00:11 |
| NickyMC | What's going on people, anyone free to answer a question I have? | 00:11 |
| Paw | mik: you rock! | 00:11 |
| jbernard_ | is there any plan for cutting 8.10.1 to include all the updates since the release? | 00:11 |
| Paw | !ask | NickyMC | 00:11 |
| ubottu | NickyMC: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:11 |
| Halitech | mikhailt, exactly, plus getting info from files quickly with cat | 00:11 |
| === peoples is now known as whack | ||
| myth | not linux related but i bought a new computer and it won't post. the mobo green light is on i hear the harddrives spin up but nothing on the screen | 00:11 |
| myth | i tried an old pci video card but same thing. the keyboard caps lock light lights up for a second on start up but then go very dim | 00:12 |
| Halitech | myth, video card not seated properly, ram not seated properly | 00:12 |
| sobersabre | myth: refer to the manual. | 00:12 |
| qzhzhang | how to show the ppt files in xububntu? | 00:12 |
| myth | and cycling caps lock does nothing | 00:12 |
| mikhailt | Paw: yea there'll be updates everywhere, millions of packages in ubuntu, so many things you can do with it | 00:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Wicked, ok open a terminal "Applications > Accessories > Terminal" and type "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" without the quotes of course.. or just copy paste and answer Yes to any questions | 00:12 |
| sobersabre | probably the CPU is not seated properly | 00:12 |
| almark | :rdw200169 i did see that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy site so I can use that to upgrade intrepid ? | 00:12 |
| rdw200169 | almark: yes | 00:12 |
| RobertGonzalez | Ok, I am back. :) Found out the real issue. | 00:12 |
| myth | i tried a different video card, and now i've taken out the ram entirely | 00:13 |
| Halitech | RobertGonzalez, oh? | 00:13 |
| mikhailt | Halitech: cat and GREP | 00:13 |
| almark | :rdw200169 thank you. | 00:13 |
| rdw200169 | almark: that, or you can seek out those packages in synaptic | 00:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Wicked, Got that? | 00:13 |
| myth | booting a computer with no ram should still be able to get to the bios no? | 00:13 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: do tell us | 00:13 |
| Halitech | myth, no | 00:13 |
| Wicked | Paddy_EIRE, ok doing now. thanks =) | 00:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | cool | 00:13 |
| Paw | What happened to me? | 00:13 |
| qzhzhang | who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? | 00:13 |
| Halitech | mikhailt, don't use grep much | 00:13 |
| rdw200169 | almark: just make sure you get linux-rt, that's the realtime kernel | 00:13 |
| RobertGonzalez | The issue is that the GUI was installed as part of the installation and our admin, the one with the Unix/RH background, is used to going into /etc/initab and telling the gui to not start up on boot. | 00:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Paw, you flooded the channel | 00:13 |
| NickyMC | You know the boot screen, standard one is just ubuntu logo with a loading bar, well is there anyway to make one of those that isn't a picture+loading bar but one where a picture of white foot steps appear and if possible fade, but move a long the screen diagonally . | 00:13 |
| qzhzhang | who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? | 00:13 |
| qzhzhang | who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? | 00:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !paste | Paw | 00:13 |
| Paw | Paddy: how lol :-p | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Paw: 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) | 00:14 |
| qzhzhang | who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? | 00:14 |
| myth | hmm, i'm pretty sure i've booted a computer with no ram, and you get that no memory error from the bios | 00:14 |
| almark | :rdw200169 will I need to recompile the kernel, kernel compiling is fun Do it all the time in Gentoo | 00:14 |
| Halitech | myth, depends on the board maybe, I've never had it work | 00:14 |
| myth | just trying to determine if it's the ram or cpu | 00:14 |
| RobertGonzalez | So he went into preferences and attempted to disable the GDM (which I am totally forgetting what that means right now) and it is telling him that disabling the GDM could result in data loss and system performance issues. | 00:14 |
| mikhailt | myth: not all motherboards support that, but pretty much standard that it just beeps when you power it on but it doesnt boot at all | 00:14 |
| nnull | anyone know how to id go about creating 2 different accounts, the first has compiz enabled with my profile loaded, and the other account has metacity no compiz and dual monitor support (so different xorg.conf per user) ??? | 00:14 |
| rdw200169 | almark: no, that's what linux-rt does for you, it get's the realtime timing working right so JACK doesn't spew errors | 00:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Paw, perhaps I am mistaken :P | 00:14 |
| almark | :rdw200169 I have read on UB studio site they don't have the real time kernel yet, I Don't know what that means thought | 00:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Paw, what where you trying to do? | 00:14 |
| almark | :rdw200169 I have read on UB studio site they don't have the real time kernel yet, I Don't know what that means though | 00:14 |
| myth | i wonder why the caps look goes dim green | 00:14 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: GDM is the Geome Desktop Manager i believe | 00:14 |
| RobertGonzalez | The ideal situation for him is to be able to login to the machine over KVM and land on a prompt then launch the GUI from there if need be | 00:15 |
| myth | like it's half on... | 00:15 |
| RobertGonzalez | mikhailt: Thanks. Sounds about right for what he is doing. | 00:15 |
| fosco_ | RobertGonzalez: do not dissable GDM, or you will get no graphic desktop | 00:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | myth, really? | 00:15 |
| rdw200169 | almark: well, i don't know then, now you know more than me ;) | 00:15 |
| myth | yes | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | myth Power supply? | 00:15 |
| almark | :rdw200169 I can't get jack to work right in Gentoo, so I thought I could try Ubuntu . | 00:15 |
| xat_ | nnull: weren't you the one who asked that xorg.conf per user question before :P | 00:15 |
| Paw | Very General Question, how do i learn how to costumize and make ubuntu the best thing ever? | 00:15 |
| myth | when i first turn it on the caps lock light comes on fully then goes dim green | 00:15 |
| NickyMC | You know the boot screen, standard one is just ubuntu logo with a loading bar, well is there anyway to make one of those that isn't a picture+loading bar but one where a picture of white foot steps appear and if possible fade, but move a long the screen diagonally . | 00:15 |
| nnull | xat_¬ probably why | 00:15 |
| badawi | RobertGonzalez: an alternative can be xdm and kdm | 00:15 |
| myth | and pressing caps lock doesn't after the light | 00:15 |
| Pythonz | hi guys! does firefox3 have a bug in clearing history? | 00:15 |
| RobertGonzalez | So how does one setup the install so that when you login you land on a prompt but can still launch the GUI when and if you want it? | 00:15 |
| Wicked | Paddy_EIRE, well it usally takes a day or two of ff being open for it to mess up.....i hope this fixes this. thanks again | 00:15 |
| myth | brand new power supply | 00:16 |
| nnull | xat_¬ #xorg isnt exactly a free flowing channel :P | 00:16 |
| almark | :rdw200169 Just basic kernel stuff is my game don't get me wrong I'm no guru ;) | 00:16 |
| myth | well everything is brand new | 00:16 |
| xat_ | hmm | 00:16 |
| xat_ | I thought you asked it here | 00:16 |

| === whack is now known as peoples | ||
| Paddy_EIRE | myth, on a laptop or standard keyboard... and as Jack_Sparrow said the power supply or perhaps keyboard cable has a malfunction | 00:16 |

| nnull | xat_¬ i always ask questions in a variety of places | 00:16 |
| Halitech | myth, heatsink and fan both installed properly and the fan plugged into power? | 00:16 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: ummmm. i am pretty sure there is a better way to do that, unfortunately, i am curious as well, i just dont sue gui at all, im sure somebody else here will be able to tell you | 00:16 |
| radecek | Hi I cant visit this site.. why? Is it dns error? >> http://sylva.pravdavitezi.eu/?id=14371 | 00:16 |
| MaT-dg | Pythonz: yes there is | 00:16 |
| RobertGonzalez | Actually, perhaps a better question is are there any installation flags that can be applied during install that would tell Ubuntu to not load certain pieces of the interface at boot/login time? | 00:17 |
| Pythonz | myth: check that the motherboard does not touch your chassie on the bottom incase there is metal | 00:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | myth, and "BRAND NEW" is not infallibly perfect | 00:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | myth You dont have the keyboard plugged into the mouse port do you | 00:17 |
| Pythonz | MaT-dg: is there anyway to fix it? | 00:17 |
| nnull | someone actually gave me the idea how to do it one night but ive forgotten lol | 00:17 |
| myth | no i made sure it's plugged into the keyboard port | 00:17 |
| mikhailt | RobertGonzalez: yes, modifying the runlevel | 00:17 |

| Halitech | myth, depends on the board, some might some might not | 00:18 |
| RobertGonzalez | badawi: Exactly, which is why this challenge came up, because that is the first place he looked to get it the way he wanted (because it is like that on RH systems) | 00:18 |

| nnull | MrWizeGuy1983¬ xorg channel is usually slow responding, but when they get around to answering usually a good one. | 00:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MrWizeGuy1983, do "lspci" in a terminal on the laptop and paste the results to pastebin.. return the link pastebin gives you back here. | 00:21 |

| nnull | np's, good luck. | 00:22 |
| MttJocy | I am not sure if it is here or the application channel I should be asking this, but is it okay if I describe the problem and then perhaps someone can direct me to the correct place or provide help as is appropriate? | 00:22 |

| MttJocy | Anyway, my problem is this, I installed azureus from the ubuntu synaptic, after install it decided to do it's self update and said it had downloaded and update and needed to restart to apply it, and after restarting said the same thing, again and again and again and so on so forth, this does not stop yet it has only downloaded one single update | 00:26 |
| Pythonz | mrwes: no sry I will do that tomorrow :) but thx for telling me :) | 00:26 |
| sobersabre | it's something related to /var/run/acpid.socket | 00:26 |
| mrwes | Pythonz, you should be able to enable the driver for your card in 8.10 | 00:26 |
| systm | mikhailt: i was able to get it to start loading the intro video that shows the publisher | 00:27 |
| Pythonz | mrwes: I just have to enable the drivers right? | 00:27 |
| Martedi | !register > Martedi | 00:27 |

| CaMason_ | is it possible to make files created in a folder to have a specific set of permissions, even if they are altered with chmod? | 00:27 |
| mikhailt | systm: what did you do | 00:27 |
| MttJocy | I thought perhaps it lacked the permissions to modify its own installs so I put the list of installed files from synaptic into a file called "files" and did a sudo chown <user>.<group> `cat files` to change them all to my user it still failed to complete the update it seams | 00:27 |
| robelliott2125 | Hey all, got a wifi prob. Basically I've a CNWL - 311 card, and its only being recognised in ubuntu as 1mb. I found a way to change Belkin's details, but not this one, any ideas? | 00:27 |
| MttJocy | Anyone have any ideas how to help? | 00:27 |
| unop | CaMason_, you can set a umask value - but that affects all files created, not just those in a specific folder | 00:28 |
| systm | mikhailt: i installed libdvdcss but now idk if its gonna load the rest it still didnt work in VLS | 00:28 |
| systm | VLC* | 00:28 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Actually, this particular 8.10 install has succeeded on both machines I have got round to updating yet with working flash so so far so good. | 00:28 |
| mrwes | Pythonz, no problem, good luck with it | 00:28 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, nice one :) | 00:28 |
| mikhailt | systm: so it sound like encrpytion issue | 00:28 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Don't suppose you have any ideas re my actual problem though? | 00:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robelliott2125 is this what you used on the belkin. Speed issue: "force" the speed with sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M to get decent speed (by default i get 1MB/s) | 00:29 |
| systm | mikhailt: it seems that way | 00:29 |
| unop | CaMason_, for files that already exist - you can use chmod again | 00:29 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, let me look over it | 00:29 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Did you not see it? | 00:29 |
| badawi | MttJocy: overwrite /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar with the downloaded file, that should work | 00:30 |
| Kevin__ | Hi Everyone. I'm trying to install Wordpress on Ubuntu Desktop. Whenever I try and access localhost/wordpress, I'm getting the error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/83771/) | 00:30 |
| badawi | MttJocy: i haven't tried it myself btw | 00:30 |
| CaMason_ | unop: ok, thanks. I'll just hack this script | 00:30 |
| mikhailt | systm: google how to play encrypted dvd in ubuntu, first page should show you how to do it | 00:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, have you done the obvious "sudo apt-get install -f" ? | 00:30 |
| araceli | i am running ubuntu 8.04 lts, and I have flash non free installed, but my youtube videos play but are jerky is there a fix? | 00:30 |
| robelliott2125 | Yes Jack_Sparrow, it was working, but under this card it doesn't. Obviously different manufacturers different strings, but just want better than 1mb | 00:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, had to ask | 00:30 |
| MttJocy | badawi, The file it downloaded with the update in is called Azureus4.0.0.4.jar though | 00:30 |
| ubuntoil | Hi, would that be an issue if I totally uninstall pulseAudio -- ubuntu 8.10 / Gnome ? | 00:30 |
| Halitech | Kevin__, did you install php? | 00:31 |
| maxb | Where do I find the documentation for how/when /etc/pm/*.d/* are called? | 00:31 |
| sobersabre | guys, does anybody know if there's a workaround for this bug: Bug #270259 in acpid (Ubuntu Hardy): “Leaks file descriptors and ... | 00:31 |
| maxb | And is this the right place to be looking for restoring hdparm settings on resume? | 00:31 |
| badawi | MttJocy: should be ok to rename i guess, backup the original one just in case, i.e. rename to Azureus2.jar.bak | 00:31 |
| sobersabre | ? | 00:31 |
| roadfish | are there any Linux tools to detect/fix a fake USB pendrive? All the utilities that I've seen are Windows and wine doesn't work ..... Yes, looks like I got suckered into buying a fake USB pendrive on eBay ... I thought with a thousand good user comments that the seller wasn't a scammer. | 00:31 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Huh, It installed fine, this is azreus which is trying to update itself (the synaptic install was okay) just azureus keeps restarting to install the updated version yet failing to do the updating | 00:31 |
| Kevin__ | Halitech, I can access PHPInfo.php from Firefox and it appears to be running. I have version 5.2.5 | 00:32 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, I personally dont like azureus/zune.. not that that helps you any :) | 00:32 |
| badawi | Paddy_EIRE: i can never spell the damn thing right | 00:32 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, I prefered it before the zune thing, but I just stick to using only the "advanced" bit which is like classic azureus | 00:32 |
| almark | :roadfish what usb drive do you have if its a sandisk, I might be able to help. | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roadfish HAve you looked at it with fdisk or gparted? | 00:32 |
| n8tuser2 | roadfish--> what does it mean by fake usb pendrive? | 00:32 |
| roadfish | http://reviews.ebay.com/HOW-TO-TEST-FOR-FAKE-USB-DRIVE_W0QQugidZ10000000003664934 | 00:33 |
| MttJocy | brb then I will give your suggestion a tru badawi | 00:33 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: you need to modify the wp-config.php file beofre you can install it | 00:33 |
| roadfish | read all about it | 00:33 |
| Halitech | Kevin__, ok, actualy it looks like its trying to find files in /etc/wordpress | 00:33 |
| araceli | i am running ubuntu 8.04 lts, and I have flash non free installed, but my youtube videos play but are jerky is there a fix? | 00:33 |
| Kevin__ | mikhailt: Do I need to create a database in PHPMyAdmin? | 00:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, that is because synaptic handles updates and the version of azureus that you are trying to update to a version which is not in the ubuntu repositories | 00:33 |
| roadfish | Jack_Sparrow: I used fdisk. But this is a _fake_ USB pendrive ... what it is reporting is a lie (probably). | 00:33 |
| cappiz | can i have eth0 and eth0:1 both setup with dhcp? | 00:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, there might be a ppa with the latest azureus/zune but it would be a use at your own risk scenario | 00:34 |
| cappiz | i get an error when i try to bring the interface up | 00:34 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: no, that doesn't make sense | 00:34 |
| cappiz | address 192.168.2.200 | 00:34 |
| cappiz | netmask 255.255.255.0 | 00:34 |
| cappiz | gateway 192.168.2.1 | 00:34 |
| cappiz | ops | 00:34 |
| FloodBot3 | cappiz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:34 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: yes, you need to create the db, db user and password, once you do that, you go to wp-config-sample.php file and enter the db name, db user, password and save it as wp-config.php | 00:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roadfish What did fdisk show and what make and model is it supposed to be | 00:34 |
| roadfish | almark: no, not a sandisk. Is a no-name USB pendrive. ... so is 80% likely this is a fake. | 00:34 |

| rdw200169 | cappiz: dhcp is a broadcast protocol, and on any one subnet, there can only be ONE dhcp server | 00:34 |

| tim167 | hello, my network card does not work. i get 'No such device', although on other OSes it works can someone help ? | 00:34 |
| cappiz | rdw200169, its not a dhcpserver | 00:34 |

| cappiz | im rying ot setup to clients | 00:34 |
| cappiz | trying* | 00:35 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Azureus insists on restarting to install it's updates by default if you use the old version that is in the repositories though | 00:35 |
| almark | :roadfish I don't know sorry, I'll be listening to see what you say. | 00:35 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: i know, but what you're referring to is taking dhcp addresses on the *same* interface | 00:35 |
| araceli | I have an intel integrated graphics card and I believe it has 128 mb of ram. | 00:35 |
| almark | :roadfish Did you try it in windows? | 00:35 |
| redrebel | is there a good reason to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10?? | 00:35 |
| n8tuser2 | roadfish--> using dd , you can write in blocks of 512 or even smaller | 00:35 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: hence the eth0:1 alias | 00:35 |
| mcpancakes | I know you guys must be sick to death of GRUB questions, but I don't know what to google to solve this. I've got XP on the drive inside the computer (hd0,0) and Ubuntu on a USB drive (hd1,0). GRUB boots from the USB drive, and the Ubuntu items boot, but the XP item, when I hit enter, it seems to restart GRUB (it flashes GRUB stage 2 for a sec, then shows me the 'select OS' menu again). I'd welcome any ideas as to why this is happening. Also | 00:35 |
| mcpancakes | , the 'root' for the XP item in menu.lst is set to (hd0,0). | 00:35 |
| araceli | its like intel 910 integrated graphics chip | 00:35 |
| cappiz | can one be static then? rdw200169 | 00:35 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Perhaps it's update feature should be turned off in the default config provided by synaptic then, although it is not. | 00:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, you cant disable update checking in azureus's settings? | 00:35 |
| FFForever | how do i stop ubuntu (pulse) from locking my audio to one app only? | 00:35 |
| Halitech | araceli, are the proper drivers installed for it? | 00:36 |
| === _Lurq is now known as Lurq | ||
| badawi | MttJocy: did it work? | 00:36 |
| araceli | yea, everything is working properly. | 00:36 |
| redrebel | my system is running well on 8.04, not sure if I should upgrade to 8.10 | 00:36 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: but, let me make this *clear*, dhcp will not work when competing with another server on a lan subnet, it just causes dhcp collisions (i can't think of a better term) | 00:36 |
| === peoples is now known as lost | ||
| Paddy_EIRE | MttJocy, that would have been among one of the first things I would check | 00:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :P | 00:36 |

| Halitech | araceli, do you have compiz enabled? | 00:36 |
| araceli | yes I do have compiz enabled. | 00:36 |
| cappiz | SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address is the error i get then | 00:36 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: just save yourself the heartache, and *don't* have two dhcp servers on one LAN segment, please! | 00:37 |
| n8tuser2 | mcpancakes--> without the usb pendrive, can you not boot directly to the hd where xp resides? | 00:37 |
| roadfish | Jack_Sparrow: how do I get fdisk to report make and model? | 00:37 |
| whyameye | roadfish: what about taking the simple cmd script for windows given in the link you provided and converting it to bash? Then you can detect at least... | 00:37 |
| Halitech | araceli, try disabling it, it might just be taking too many resources | 00:37 |
| araceli | the standard for 8.04. | 00:37 |
| araceli | ok I can do that. | 00:37 |
| mikhailt | cappiz: why in the world would you want two dhcp on the same lan segment? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roadfish Fdisk wont, just thought you would look at the drive itself | 00:37 |
| cappiz | dhcp servers? | 00:37 |
| almark | oh no server connection to universe failed during a ubuntu studio upgrade What can I do? | 00:38 |
| cappiz | i have ONE server a linksys router | 00:38 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: save yourself some trouble also, and just use the iproute2 commands, i.e. 'ip addr' | 00:38 |
| cappiz | i want to "interfaces" on the ubuntu computer | 00:38 |
| roadfish | whyameye: these are GUI programs and the USB selector doesn't let me pick the USB drive. | 00:38 |
| MttJocy | badawi, NO | 00:38 |
| sobersabre | guys, my acpid leaks file descriptors. | 00:38 |

| sobersabre | actually 8.04.01 | 00:38 |
| mikhailt | rdw200169: he isnt setting up two dhcp server, he is trying to set up two dhcp client on same interface | 00:38 |
| Roasted | Has anybody used CloneZilla LiveCD to create an image on a computer??? | 00:38 |
| araceli | would I need to restart my browser or anything | 00:38 |
| cappiz | no, i need the interface for firewalling - gonna use it for wmware | 00:38 |
| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Can find an option to disable looking for plugin updates, not for the app itself unless I am not looking in the right part of options | 00:38 |
| Halitech | araceli, probably be a good idea | 00:38 |
| whyameye | roadfish: ??? I don't understand. You want to test if it is a fake drive? Why not a bash script to do this? | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roadfish Since this isnt a ubuntu question perhaps you should go to #hardware ? | 00:38 |
| mikhailt | cappiz: installing vmware should set up its own network itnerfaces which you can bridge the same eth0 interface | 00:39 |
| rdw200169 | mikhailt: i know... but i don't know his infrastructure, whether or not he controls the whole network, for example... | 00:39 |

| MttJocy | Paddy_EIRE, Besides, why exactly are the repositories allowing the install of an app in a way set up to constantly nag anyone who installs it to restart the app? | 00:39 |
| rdw200169 | cappiz: agreed | 00:39 |

| rdw200169 | cs_student: sometimes, then again, make sure it has the +x flag set before you try that, or it won't work | 00:40 |
| badawi | MttJocy: maybe you'll need to edit this file and fix the params -> /usr/bin/azureus | 00:41 |
| rdw200169 | cs_student: i.e. chmod +x binary | 00:41 |

| Spoom | mrwes, i've tried with both an absolute starting directory and without, same issue | 00:42 |
| badawi | MttJocy: dpkg -L azureus | 00:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy Can we see your sources.list .................to try and see why you have a problem.. also from a term.. please tell us exactly what lsb_release -a tells you | 00:42 |
| almark | How much better is ardour's latency then say windows (daw ) latency? | 00:42 |
| systm | mikhailt: so check this, my gf's Laptop, Wont play in ubuntu, windows with ridiculous amounts of square artifacts, my desktop, no go, but the xbox 360... perfectly fine | 00:43 |
| === cash is now known as hope | ||
| mrwes | Spoom, but it connects when you try from the command line? | 00:43 |
| Kevin__ | mikhailt and Halitech: I updated wp-config and am now getting "Error establishing database connection" | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy And please use the pastebin and dont paste into the channel | 00:43 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Well, perhaps the .jar it downloads is intended to be run by the main azureus app to fix the /usr/bin file also, thus why it does not work copying it over the main binary | 00:43 |
| Halitech | Kevin__, did you create the database first? | 00:43 |
| Spoom | mrwes, that's correct | 00:43 |
| mrwes | hrmm.. | 00:43 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: did you create teh db first? | 00:43 |
| Roasted | Has anybody used CloneZilla LiveCD to create an image on a computer??? | 00:43 |
| Spoom | ssh jarsene@server.f.q.d.n works fine, gvfs does not for some reason, it eventually gives a timeout error | 00:43 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: try bringing up the cli, type mysql -u root -p | 00:44 |
| === hope is now known as nitridr | ||
| Kevin__ | ?halitech and mikhailt: Yes, I created a database. The DB is the same name as my username... is that ok? | 00:44 |
| mrwes | Spoom, that is weird..... | 00:44 |
| Spoom | indeed | 00:44 |
| badawi | MttJocy: close azurlala and try this java -jar Azur...4.0.jar, as i said i can never spell it, good thing they changed the name :) | 00:44 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, The point is that the synaptic install worked fine, until the app was run then it saw an updated version on the azureus site and tried to self update (not through synaptic) because it is configured to do that in the package from synaptic | 00:44 |
| mrwes | Spoom, in the GUI you are choosing SSH, correct? | 00:44 |
| Halitech | Kevin__, should be | 00:44 |
| Spoom | mrwes, indeed i am | 00:44 |
| almark | How come I cant' see ppl talking in UbuntuStudio ? | 00:44 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: is the wordpress going to be public or internal for yourself only? | 00:44 |
| Spoom | is there any way i could, say, get debug output as to what's causing this? | 00:44 |
| Spoom | i just get an error message stating "Timed out when logging in" | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy The whole point is.. that you manually changed and added repos... and now have a problem | 00:45 |
| Halitech | Kevin__, what did you use for the server address? | 00:45 |
| Babbelaar | hey all, how do I see a list of chat rooms, I thought it was /list ut that freezes my app | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy also from a term.. please tell us exactly what lsb_release -a tells you | 00:45 |
| Kevin__ | hailtech: I'm working on getting the cli up, one second. mikhailt: Internal for now.. I'd eventually like to go external, though. | 00:45 |
| cappiz | how can i bridge eth1 with eth0 then? | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cappiz firestarter | 00:45 |
| Paw | Now that I have ubuntu installed and working I dont know what to do with my self lol. | 00:45 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Interpid 8.10, I could have told you that though | 00:46 |
| Halitech | Paw, break it so you can fix it ~L~ | 00:46 |
| badawi | cappiz: bridge-utils also | 00:46 |
| cappiz | badawi, thats more liek it | 00:46 |
| roadfish | whyameye: is there a bash script that will test a USB pendrive. (and prehaps you would allow /msg so that we don't discuss on #ubuntu) | 00:46 |
| cappiz | i allready have a vuurmuur installed | 00:46 |
| _Zeus_ | hey, I need some help. How can I tell if my system screensaver is on or not? | 00:46 |
| Paw | hali: I dont wanna do that yet :-p, There will be plenty of that | 00:46 |
| Kevin__ | halitech: I tried to bring up the cli and am getting "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 00:46 |
| badawi | cappiz: there's and example in qemu and vbox docs | 00:46 |
| Halitech | Paw, if you are anything like me then yes there will ~L~ | 00:47 |
| badawi | !virtualization | 00:47 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 00:47 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: you sure you type the right password? | 00:47 |
| Spoom | _Zeus_, System -> Preferences -> Screensaver | 00:47 |
| _Zeus_ | Spoom: no, i want to do it in a script | 00:47 |
| Paw | Hali: Also have to get it to support my ATI video card :/ its glitchy | 00:47 |
| Spoom | ah, my apologies, that was not stated | 00:47 |
| _Zeus_ | my fault | 00:47 |
| Pici | _Zeus_: I'd assume that a gconf key would be set, I'd look into that. | 00:47 |
| mikhailt | Paw: focus on the getting the ATI fixed, you dont want to spend alll the time customizing your desktop only to get it screwed up in the end | 00:48 |
| MttJocy | I'll just click restart later when I load it for now, Until I have time to install the proper azureus download from their website, I am sure I have had major issues with the azureus in the repository before when I tried it with an earlier version (7.10 If I remember correctly) | 00:48 |
| Halitech | Paw, good luck, ATI is good but meh in linux | 00:48 |
| Kevin__ | mikhailt: Sorry, got it. :) | 00:48 |
| Roasted | Has anybody used CloneZilla LiveCD to create an image on a computer??? | 00:48 |
| _Zeus_ | ty, pici | 00:48 |
| Paw | Mik: difficult to fix the ati problem? it saids it activated the driver but still may cause problems :/ | 00:48 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: now did you check the wp-config.php to make sure it is the right password | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > Roasted | 00:48 |
| ubottu | Roasted, please see my private message | 00:48 |
| badawi | MttJocy: give me a sec, my download is about to finish, i'll try it for you. usually i just ignore the update | 00:48 |
| MttJocy | Except if I remember right the 7.10 version in synaptic simply crashed without displaying anything but the download from azereus website worked fine | 00:48 |
| mikhailt | Paw: graphic cards are some of the most complicatd thing to get fixed in all linux OS, you just have to read the ubuntu forums and see if anybody got it fixed for your ubuntu version | 00:49 |
| Paw | mik: thanks a bunch... that will be a long search, not only for ati card but for version 8.10 :( | 00:49 |
| Roasted | I'm sorry. Why am I talking to a bot? | 00:49 |
| hugleo | Is ubuntu server reliable to network administration? | 00:50 |
| Spoom | has anyone else had issues connecting to a solaris server through gvfs? | 00:50 |
| Halitech | hugleo, better then windows | 00:50 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted Ubuntu Support questions only | 00:51 |
| Paw | I forgot exactly what ATI Radeon I have can someone tell me how to find out? | 00:51 |
| Spoom | Roasted, this is a channel for ubuntu, not windows, and certainly not for general software | 00:51 |

| Spoom | mrwes, tis blank | 00:51 |
| Halitech | Paw, in a terminal | 00:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted You were not asking for help with ubuntu | 00:52 |
| Spoom | nonexistent, rather | 00:52 |
| Paw | Thanks a ton | 00:52 |
| mrwes | er | 00:52 |
| Roasted | I need help with clonezilla server that's based on ubuntu.... | 00:52 |
| mikhailt | paw: in cli | 00:52 |
| hugleo | Halitech, Do know the bests linux for that? | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mint > roast | 00:52 |
| Roasted | now, anyway, anybody here use clonezilla? I have a realsimple question if anybody here has created an image before with it. | 00:52 |
| Spoom | mrwes, do you mean on the remote server? | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mint > Roasted | 00:52 |
| ubottu | Roasted, please see my private message | 00:52 |
| Halitech | Paw, fosco's will work as well | 00:52 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Well, did you have any more luck than I did? | 00:52 |
| Kevin__ | mihailt: Yep, I just checked the credentials and still have the error | 00:52 |
| Halitech | hugleo, depends on who you talk to and what your needs are | 00:52 |
| Paw | I hit something and now my screen is black :/ | 00:53 |
| Roasted | hey thanks for the boot | 00:53 |
| mikhailt | Kevin__: did you create the db? | 00:53 |
| hugleo | Halitech, monitoring others networks | 00:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paw try alt F7 ? | 00:53 |
| Halitech | hugleo, and some would argue its not linux but a version of bsd | 00:53 |
| Gyron | Can anyone here help me with a Wifi card install? I have the driver. | 00:53 |
| Paw | Jack: nothing. | 00:53 |
| Kevin__ | mikhailt and halitech: Yes, I added both the user and the database and reflected those in the wp-config.php file | 00:53 |
| [TiZ] | Hi. I have a translucent panel, and Quod Libet with the tray icon plugin. QL's tray icon has an opaque background. Any way for me to fix this? | 00:53 |
| [TiZ] | QL is entirely in python, so I can edit the source if necessary. | 00:54 |
| Roasted | Does anybody have any experience with getting CloneZilla working on Ubuntu as a server edition? | 00:54 |
| Halitech | hugleo, not sure what you mean, monitoring others networks | 00:54 |
| badawi | MttJocy: wait it's asking for missing packages | 00:54 |
| Spoom | mrwes, ~/.ssh doesn't exist on the remote server either | 00:54 |

| Paw | Well this is a bummer.. black screen of death.. | 00:55 |
| MttJocy | badawi, What is? | 00:55 |
| Halitech | hugleo, ok, not sure then, I guess any system that is stable and will stay up and running | 00:55 |
| Paw | Restarting Computer I guess :/ | 00:56 |
| mrwes | Spoom, I can't figure it out... | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paw ctrl alt F7 sorrry | 00:56 |
| Paw | Yes tried that to nothing | 00:56 |
| hugleo | Halitech, is ubuntu stable to that? | 00:56 |
| Paw | Just going to force shut down | 00:56 |
| Halitech | Paw, ctrl-alt-f1? | 00:56 |
| istvan | hey, I need some guidence. it isn't really ubuntu related, but where can I find a good irc thread to a free hosting question? | 00:56 |
| Paw | jack: nothing | 00:56 |
| Spoom | mrwes, thanks anyway then... tis just an annoyance, i want to be able to edit files directly with gedit but no matter what it times out | 00:56 |
| Paw | just gonna restartlol | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > istvan | 00:56 |
| ubottu | istvan, please see my private message | 00:56 |
| badawi | MttJocy: it worked, u'll need to edit /usr/bin/azureus and change the classpath line to be like this -> -classpath /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar:$JARS \ | 00:56 |
| Halitech | hugleo, should be | 00:56 |
| eseven73 | ok so Jack_Sparrow i checked sudo blkid for UUID and found out my external usb hdd is /dev/sdb1 (i think, its kinda hard to tell) so how would i make it mount to /media/disk in /etc/fstab? | 00:56 |
| Kevin__ | halitech and mikhailt: I tried the settings with the root user and pass and it worked. Thanks a ton. :D | 00:57 |
| MttJocy | badawi, I think you misunderstand what I am talking about, I installed it from the repos which worked fine, then however because it is turned on by default in the package on the repository it demands the updated version and keeps trying to restart :s | 00:57 |
| hugleo | Halitech, should? :) | 00:57 |
| Spoom | mrwes, oh wait, i'm an idiot, i didn't realize .ssh was a directory :^P | 00:57 |
| Spoom | you want known_hosts? | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 I will paste my fstab for you.. it should help | 00:57 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Huh? | 00:57 |

| eseven73 | ok | 00:57 |
| badawi | MttJocy: u need this package to be installed liblog4j1.2-java | 00:57 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Now you got me more confused | 00:57 |
| === Adam is now known as Stargazer | ||
| Halitech | hugleo, I don't see why not. is it just going to be doing that ask? | 00:58 |
| Spoom | mrwes, there is an entry for gaul.csd.uwo.ca in known_hosts, think i should delete it? | 00:58 |
| badawi | MttJocy: what i'm doing, i'm taking the new .jar file and plugging it in place of the old one, now if ubuntu decides to release a new version, it will overwrite it, but till then this is the workaround | 00:58 |
| MttJocy | badawi, I've never had any issues with azureus updates before, at least not until I decided to install the ubuntu version because I was being lazy | 00:58 |
| eseven73 | Jack_Sparrow: ok for sure it is /dev/sdb1 i just checked with lshw as well as sudo blkid | 00:58 |
| Roasted | Does anybody have any experience with getting CloneZilla working on Ubuntu as a server edition? | 00:59 |
| BotLobsta | anyone know why 'echo -e \\x07' doesnt make my system beep? | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 http://paste.ubuntu.com/83782/ | 00:59 |
| hugleo | Halitech, backups perhaps | 00:59 |
| Stargazer | Hey guys, apparently there's an issue with intrepid+laptops+splash(boot). how do i edit out splash ? | 00:59 |
| mrwes | Spoom, yah... try that | 00:59 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Humz I already have that liblog4j1.2-java thing, but it still didin't work when I put that file in over the Azureus2.jar | 00:59 |
| fletch | how do I access a motion eye camera on my sony Vaio laptop? | 00:59 |
| Halitech | hugleo, then should be good with ubuntu, maybe go minimal install and put xfce on it to keep it lighter | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stargazer gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst remove splash from the command line | 00:59 |
| Stargazer | Jack_Sparrow, so all i do i delete 'splash' from that line ? | 01:00 |
| ooboontoo | Hello, I'd like to know if the wireless router Linksys WRT54G2 works with Ubuntu??? | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stargazer If I understand your querstion.. yes | 01:00 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, It should work no probem | 01:00 |
| badawi | MttJocy: ok great, now edit /usr/bin/azureus and change the -classpath line to look like this -> -classpath /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar:$JARS \ | 01:01 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Is it because I need that classpath megigie | 01:01 |
| mrwes | ooboontoo, yes | 01:01 |
| hugleo | Halitech, what's better ubuntu release? 8.04? | 01:01 |
| ooboontoo | great! then i'll buy it from amazon.com for $44 dollars | 01:01 |
| badawi | MttJocy: yes we're just adding log4j to the classpath | 01:01 |
| Stargazer | Jack_Sparrow, just to be sure we're on the same line: i want to disable the splash. | 01:01 |
| _Zeus_ | Pici, I created a wrapper for the screensaver | 01:01 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Ah, okay give me a minute will try again, need to download the new jar again | 01:01 |
| _Zeus_ | ty | 01:01 |
| mrwes | ooboontoo, I'd put tomato firmware on there | 01:01 |
| ooboontoo | where do I find that? | 01:01 |
| Paw | Anyone have experience with fixing ATI graphics cards on ubuntu 8.10? Would be a great help | 01:01 |
| fletch | anyone know how to use a motion eye webcam for a sony vaio laptop with ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| mrwes | ooboontoo, google tomato firmware | 01:02 |
| ooboontoo | thanks | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stargazer you can try removing splash for a test on boot.. hit escape then e then e and remove splash | 01:02 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, I'd just get it working first, tomato can be nice but not essential | 01:02 |
| Spoom | mrwes, alas, same error: Could not open location 'sftp://jarsene@gaul.csd.uwo.ca/' Timed out when logging in | 01:02 |
| ooboontoo | What does tomato do? | 01:02 |
| Spoom | i'm convinced it's weirdness from the server that's confusing gvfs but i can't fix that as i don't have control over it | 01:02 |
| Halitech | hugleo, 8.04 is an LTS version so I would go with that | 01:02 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, it's custom firmware for the router, can give some extra features (bandwidth use monitoring and some others) and some extra speed but for general use not really needed | 01:02 |
| hugleo | Halitech, thanks | 01:03 |
| eseven73 | ok thanks Jack_Sparrow, one other thing how do i check to see what file system a drive is? | 01:03 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Ah, yeah that fixed it | 01:03 |
| badawi | MttJocy: but you do realize that after doing this step u're running a version that is not supported in ubuntu, u'll need to use the vuze support then. | 01:03 |
| FFForever | why cant 2 programs produce audio at the same time? | 01:03 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, if not careful when installing can also kill the router (although I personally have done it successfully and it's a painless process) | 01:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 sudo fdisk -l last letter is L | 01:03 |
| ooboontoo | Oh, thanks. I might be adding tomato later. I'm glad Linksys WRT54G2 works with Ubuntu | 01:03 |
| eseven73 | ok thanks | 01:03 |
| agustin | hey guys one problem intrepid doest recognize my sata disk on my aus mobo | 01:03 |
| mrwes | dmulholland, jacking up the power on the wifi radio it one of the best features | 01:03 |
| agustin | m2a mvp | 01:03 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Well, I normally used the manual install from them anyway (the ubuntu versions always borked) so that is no biggie | 01:04 |
| dmulholland | mrwes, it it but not essential for the average user :) | 01:04 |
| mrwes | dmulholland, didn't say it was :) | 01:04 |
| MttJocy | badawi, Is there some way to tell ubuntu to hold off on modifying that package till it asks me first? | 01:04 |
| ooboontoo | Will the Linksys WRT54G2 work without tomato? | 01:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pinning > MttJocy | 01:04 |
| ubottu | MttJocy, please see my private message | 01:04 |
| MttJocy | badawi, ie not to stick it in with all the other updates but hold off | 01:04 |
| mrwes | ooboontoo, yes | 01:04 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, yes it will work | 01:04 |
| ooboontoo | OK | 01:04 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Huh? | 01:05 |
| eseven73 | Jack_Sparrow: it says the file system is Linux | 01:05 |
| ooboontoo | :) | 01:05 |
| Pici | ooboontoo: Routers really don't have anything to do with Ubuntu, any router should work with any OS. | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy Sorry, that was probably not right | 01:05 |
| ooboontoo | Well... what if they come with a Windows-only installation CD? | 01:05 |
| dmulholland | Pici, ooboontoo, that is generally the case but some use java software for configuration... | 01:05 |
| Zoasterboy | Anyone here have luck configuring GRUB to load OSX? | 01:05 |
| badawi | MttJocy: i don't know, maybe Jack_Sparrow can help with this one | 01:05 |
| Pici | dmulholland: Thats pretty silly of them :) | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 Ok.. add it to your fstab.. make sure you have created a proper mount point | 01:05 |
| eseven73 | Jack_Sparrow: is Linux file system the same as ext3? | 01:05 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, i will work by accessing an address in the browser to set up the configuration, you can generally ignore the command line | 01:06 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, i mean ignore the windows only cd | 01:06 |
| ooboontoo | Ok | 01:06 |
| ooboontoo | This is the router http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54G2-Wireless-G-Broadband-Router/dp/B0014J07R2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228954587&sr=1-1 | 01:06 |
| dmulholland | Pici, i agree, but so are most software companies :) | 01:06 |
| agustin | any can help me pls | 01:06 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Not quite sure that is what I was looking for, I just want to tell synaptic to hold off updating azureus unless I manually go into synaptic and say otherwise (keep it out of the update manager thing) or better if possible tell it not to update it if the package is bellow version 4.0.0.4 | 01:07 |
| eseven73 | Jack_Sparrow: ? | 01:07 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, can almost guarantee it will work with ubuntu, the more important question is if it will work with your internet connection | 01:07 |
| eseven73 | is 'Linux' file system the same as ext3? | 01:07 |
| ooboontoo | I have a cable modem | 01:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt and stick it in the pastebin | 01:07 |
| ooboontoo | I just have to connect the router to my cable modem, right? | 01:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy Pinning will lock the current app.. | 01:08 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, if you have a cable modem with an ethernet connection then that should work no problem (although some might need configuration details which you can get from your ISP) | 01:08 |

| tacidsky | ooboontoo id setup some security. | 01:08 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Ah, I think I might have found something that might work in synaptic I found Package -> Lock Version | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 there are many linux setups.. ext3 is only one | 01:08 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, I assume now synaptic wont try to update it now? | 01:08 |

| Spoom | http://pastebin.com/m6a8d894f - this is what happens when i connect manually, i'm wondering if the "couldn't set locale correctly" line means anything... i'm trying to connect to this server via SSH in GVFS (i.e. Places -> Connect to Server) but it times out, while working on a terminal, anyone have an idea why that might be? | 01:09 |
| istvan | should i use gimp? | 01:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | afk | 01:09 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, are you using a machine with ubuntu connected directly to the modem? | 01:09 |
| ooboontoo | Yes | 01:09 |
| Zoasterboy | @[TiZ]: Find the image and Gimp it up | 01:09 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, then it shouldnt need much configuration or you would have found it more difficult getting the internet to work in ubuntu :) | 01:10 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Actually no I just noticed it in Syanptic, that pinning thing I thought was something else, it talked about different distributions of Ubuntu and stuff :s | 01:10 |
| istvan | I need batch image croping tho | 01:10 |
| BotLobsta | eseven73, run parted, then type 'print all' and it will show you filesystem types | 01:10 |
| Zoasterboy | Use Gimp and make the background transparent | 01:10 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, the router should be able to automatically configure itself and "just work" | 01:10 |

| agustin | intrepid doesnt recognice my sata hd why??? | 01:11 |
| ooboontoo | Great. How many computer can be connected wirelessly? | 01:11 |
| dmulholland | monkeyb, check software sources for where it's getting the updates from and also check if it is automatically installing | 01:11 |

| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 What does gparted tell you about those partitions? | 01:11 |
| Zoasterboy | One more! | 01:11 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Right OK, all I want it to do is leave the new Azureus2.jar and /usr/bin/azureus I just modified stay put :| | 01:11 |
| eseven73 | ok i have my fstab entry as UUID=<bunch of numbers/letters> /media/disk auto defaults 0 0 | 01:12 |
| dmulholland | ooboontoo, quite a few.... upwards of 10 definitely | 01:12 |
| Zoasterboy | Yes! | 01:12 |
| eseven73 | that should work? | 01:12 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, And I locked the version so it is safe now right? | 01:12 |

| caiges | any good alternatives to muine that don't eat up 350 mb of memory? | 01:12 |
| monkeyb | dmulholland: how do i check if it is automatically installing? | 01:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MttJocy It should be.. but since you added repos and such, I cant be 100% sure | 01:12 |
| n8tuser2 | rzec--> same thing if it was not a vm install, you can not log on as root directly til its configured | 01:12 |
| ooboontoo | Great! That's enough for my mom and my sister's laptop (which have wireless adapaters that work with Ubuntu) | 01:12 |
| derekS | hey guys, am i better off with virtual box or kvm to test other os's in ubuntu? | 01:13 |
| dmulholland | monkeyb, go to System > Adminitration > Software Sources > Updates Tab | 01:13 |
| tacidsky | vbox | 01:13 |
| Halitech | ooboontoo, I would say so ~L~ | 01:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | derekS kvm here | 01:13 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, I don't recall saying I had done that, but yeah I did put medibuntu on | 01:13 |
| derekS | tacidsky, Jack_Sparrow: why to both of yours? | 01:13 |
| tacidsky | to each his own :) | 01:13 |
| dmulholland | monkeyb, also launch update manager and hit check (or "sudo apt-get update" from command line | 01:13 |
| MttJocy | Jack_Sparrow, Needed it for libdvdcss | 01:13 |
| tacidsky | cus virtual box ive used so i guess i see it as easy. | 01:13 |
| eseven73 | Jack_Sparrow: it says its ext3 | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | derekS Personal preference | 01:14 |
| n8tuser2 | Halitech--> which theory was that? hehe...its limited by the dhcp server capability running | 01:14 |
| eseven73 | why did fstab say it was Linux and not ext3? O.o | 01:14 |
| derekS | thanks guys! | 01:14 |
| monkeyb | dmulholland: thanks, that got it for me | 01:14 |
| dmulholland | monkeyb, no worries | 01:14 |
| eseven73 | err not fstab i mean bah w/e that other command was i used | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eseven73 So using my example, you should be able to edit your fstab.. | 01:14 |

| tacidsky | how can i disable the join / part messages in xchat ? | 01:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | ...it works just fine when I run from terminal, but when I assign it to <SUPER>F12 with gconf-editor, nothing happens when I press <SUPER>F12 (but when <SUPER>F12 is assigned to something like firefox it works just fine) | 01:16 |
| Halitech | n8tuser2, if they stay within the same subnet then 253 assuming 1 and 255 are reserved for the server | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tacidsky right click the channel tab | 01:16 |
| MttJocy | tacidsky, I don't believe you can, they are part of the IRC protocol | 01:16 |
| dmulholland | l337ingDisorder, have you set it to run in a terminal? | 01:16 |
| tacidsky | oh thanks :) | 01:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | dmulholland: not sure how I'd do that | 01:16 |
| tacidsky | was looking in prefs | 01:16 |

| l337ingDisorder | Jack_Sparrow: as mentioned, <SUPER>F12 works with other commands instead of the rdesktop command so it's not a conflict | 01:18 |

| badawi | MttJocy: yeah i'm with you on that one | 01:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | weird... I tried switching to metacity window manager and it started working.. switched back to compiz, and it's still working... | 01:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | so it looks like compiz just needed to be restarted | 01:20 |
| dmulholland | l337ingDisorder, when adding hotkeys its always a good idea to restart things... | 01:21 |
| l337ingDisorder | which is strange, cause I had that working <SUPER>F12 keyboard shortcut and all I changed was the <address> part | 01:21 |

| Ayyad | name_name, you sort of need to read the vmware docs though.. but yeah.. its pretty straight forward | 01:41 |

| rdw200169 | jeremy_: no. | 01:52 |
| lstarnes | xorlim: for some reason, ubuntu 8.10 doesn't load the floppy module by default anymore, likely because floppies are rarely used. I'll see if I can figure out how to make ubuntu load that module on startup | 01:52 |

| ubottu | Firefishe: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 01:54 |
| Babbelaar | can anyone explain what the differences would be between installing ubuntu and adding the studio package:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation versus just installing ubuntustudio | 01:54 |
| Firefishe | EMT? | 01:54 |
| Meeso_OS | can I run kubuntu on a comp with 1.8ghz and 256 RAM? | 01:54 |
| Ayyad | Firefishe, if you have 4GB+ ram... plus.. on some benchmarks.. some things do run a bit faster | 01:54 |
| rdw200169 | Firefishe: dang, that's not what i wanted, there are some docs out there that talk about this with ubuntu, and the general consensus is that it's not worth the trouble | 01:55 |
| Firefishe | Ayyad: I have 4GB exactly... | 01:55 |
| xorlim | lstarnes: great! do I boot the computer or do something else like init -q? | 01:55 |

| nnull | guys ive got ubuntu installed on a old p3 600 with 400 meg of ram, got everything working but the sound is very choppy, ive never had ANY sound issues in ubuntu before, any ideas where id start fixing this? | 01:55 |
| Firefishe | rdw200169: No worries :-). I hit the wrong buttons sometimes, too. | 01:55 |
| Firefishe | ^5 | 01:55 |
| nnull | the soundcard is onboard and rather old | 01:55 |
| Ayyad | I think you should go with the 64 bit version then... I know that ubuntu doesnt support PAE by default.. unless you want to compile your own kernel.. go for the 64 bit version | 01:55 |
| rdw200169 | Firefishe: more ram was the primary reason for the push to 64 bit, and that's more of a server thing nowadays | 01:56 |
| Babbelaar | anyone? | 01:56 |
| lstarnes | xorlim: you don't need to do anything else. The modprobe command took care of loading the module and /etc/modules defines extra modules to load when booting | 01:56 |
| xorlim | lstarnes: thanks! I will boot now to see if the effects are in effect. | 01:56 |

I've got debian lenny (testing) on the hard drive right now, and it's giving me nothing short of excruciating headaches ;-). Long dns lookup times, takes my browsers forever to load. I had to use OSS as alsa doesn't work, and my Atheros wireless doesn't work on it. | 01:57 |

| Matson | s/but/bit | 02:03 |
| Ayyad | f4cel3ss, the easiest (not best way) that i can think of is just giving yourself ownership on the directly its mounted.. so as root chown yourUserName /dir/to/mount/point | 02:03 |
| f4cel3ss | J_xinudsb i did that and it says i can only do it with root | 02:04 |
| exodus_ms | nnull, have you tried configuring 'alsamixer' | 02:04 |
| bidossessi | don't use root's name in vain. find the problem, instead of quick-fixing it | 02:04 |
| Ayyad | f4cel3ss, dont try to mount it!!!! it is already mounted (since you can see whats on it) | 02:05 |
| f4cel3ss | ok ok | 02:05 |
| gnutron | Matson: yes use the amd64 iso it supports 64 bit intel/amd cpu's | 02:05 |
| Firefishe | Ayyad: Already been there, done that. DNS resolves to three name servers via my ISP. Oddly, when I switch between dhclient and dhcpcd daemons (remove one, install the other), dhcpcd changes the order of them in /etc/resolv.conf. I notice no difference in lookup times with either. I think I'm just going to install this and be done with it :) . Updates are coming for 4.1 quickly now, so there shouldn't be any problems. | 02:05 |
| Ayyad | bidossessi?? it needs to be done as root (sudo if thats whats bothering you).. but at the end of the day.. its the same thing! | 02:05 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, one possibility. all usb/external hdd stuff should be automounted by hald. so you should not need to doit by hand. | 02:05 |
| Guest66429 | How can I fix a broken KDE from the console; KDE does not start properly. | 02:05 |

| exodus_ms | nnull, ok, hold on pls... | 02:11 |
| nnull | exodus_ms¬ no worries. | 02:11 |
| f4cel3ss | no it dont | 02:11 |
| f4cel3ss | when i unplug it the folder is no loger there | 02:12 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, then it's not a permission issue, since hald knows how to handle that easily on userspace. u need to figure out if you have an ntfs hdd and if you have ntfs-write capabilities installed | 02:12 |
| f4cel3ss | ok how would i find out if i have those capabilities | 02:13 |
| === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire | ||
| bidossessi | well i suppose there is a ntfs-3g package, isn't there? find out if it's installed on your system | 02:14 |
| Sicario | hola | 02:14 |

| schnauzer | When I boot Ubuntu, usplash quits and I see a load of instructions that I can't seem to find in any boot log. It ends in "for more details, see man 8 mount" if that helps. I also had a separate hard drive whose partitions were messed up, but I physically unplugged the drive and commented out its fstab entry. Any ideas? | 02:14 |

| revbelsound | Sicario creo ke nadie habla español | 02:15 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, use the package manager i guess | 02:15 |
| FrozenFire | How long does it usually take for a package to be updated to the latest version of a piece of software? Apparently Sun released 6.11 of Java, and the package in the main repository is 6.10. | 02:15 |
| Ayyad | bidossessi, if he plusgs it in, the folder is there.. if he unplugs it, the folder isnt there.. that concludes that its not a permission issue? | 02:15 |
| bidossessi | Ayyad, yes it does, if you know how hald works | 02:15 |
| Sicario | join ubuntu-es | 02:15 |
| Ayyad | bidossessi, so setting the ownership or the permissions on the mountpoint wont fix this right? | 02:16 |
| nnull | exodus_ms¬ i haven't installed any driver's specifically for the card, assumed it would be using a default driver automatically for me to be hearing sound at all? | 02:16 |

| f4cel3ss | ok i had to install it thx if it still wont work ill let u no | 02:17 |
| imbry | Imbry | 02:17 |
| mamo[at]work | need help | 02:17 |
| bidossessi | Ayyad, there is no mountpoint until the drive is plugged in. hald autocreates and mounts without user (and thus root) intervention. so if there's a read-only message, it means mount has not been able to be done rw | 02:17 |
| mamo[at]work | my wired network not working on 8.10 | 02:18 |
| Izinucs | mamo[at]work: ask | 02:18 |
| darclaine | FrozenFire can I ask what version of ubuntu you are using | 02:18 |
| darclaine | it's connectd with your java comment | 02:18 |

| Guest66429 | iS this the right room for Kubuntu questions, or is this only for Ubuntu questions? | 02:19 |
| Izinucs | mamo[at]work: have you tried right mouse clicking the network icon by the clock and disabling networking then enable it again? might work.. other than that I'm no network guru.. | 02:19 |
| Guest66429 | iS this the right room for Kubuntu questions, or is this only for Ubuntu questions? | 02:19 |
| Ayyad | bidossessi, your correct.. mybad.. i am sort of in the middle of something so i'm not reading everything said. in the case of hald.. you are correct! | 02:20 |
| FrozenFire | darclaine: What sort of bugs? I've been having huge issues with Java recently. | 02:20 |
| t0m__ | O have a lovely flashing while or black effect like a strobe | 02:20 |
| Izinucs | Guest66429: depends on the question.. throw it out there and see if you get referenced to #kubuntu | 02:20 |
| mamo[at]work | Izinucs: okay i try it 1st | 02:20 |
| f4cel3ss | nope no where did i see that | 02:20 |

| philippe_ | Hello. I want to install a theme but I'm not able to. I have download this theme : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Clear+Night?content=91128 but once with the file I just don't know what to do. | 02:21 |

| cluster | I need to connect my laptop to my xbox | 02:21 |
| f4cel3ss | ok what do u want me to look for | 02:21 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, actually, type "mount | grep media" to filter out what we don't need | 02:22 |
| zell0x | ola | 02:22 |

| exodus_ms | nnull, idk, you can try this to see if it helps --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/83815/ might be a little overkill but it might be something you can try if everything else fails | 02:23 |
| lab | #jammaah | 02:23 |
| nnull | exodus_ms¬ ok cheers for your help | 02:24 |
| cluster | i have firestarter but when i run it it says "eth0 not ready" | 02:24 |
| mamo[at]work | Izinucs: i have try that and still not working | 02:24 |
| inktri | hey guys | 02:24 |
| x-ip | cluster, ifconfig shows eth0 up ? | 02:24 |
| inktri | i'm getting video flicker with vlc, mplayer, etc | 02:24 |
| cluster | yeah | 02:24 |
| inktri | what can i do to fix it? | 02:24 |
| Izinucs | mamo[at]work: I'll leave it to others to help you.. I | 02:24 |
| f4cel3ss | bidossessi u still there | 02:24 |
| x-ip | Claw6, no more ideas :S | 02:24 |
| mamo[at]work | okay | 02:24 |
| exodus_ms | nnull, np, wish I could have helped you get your sound running. Stick around, there might be someone else here that could help you more | 02:24 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, did u just install ntfs-3g? | 02:24 |
| Izinucs | mamo[at]work: I'm no good at diagnosing these issues | 02:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | inktri turn off effects | 02:25 |
| mamo[at]work | gonna eat my breakfast 1st | 02:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest14684: you might try update-alternatives --config x-display-manager and update-alternatives --config x-window-manager | 02:25 |
| inktri | jack_sparrow effects under where? | 02:25 |
| inktri | vlc? ubuntu? which menu? | 02:25 |
| cluster | see thats why i am stuck | 02:25 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, it's a kernel module so it will need to be loaded for it to be usable? two ways: reboot or modprobe. i advise reboot | 02:26 |
| x-ip | why eth0 is not ready .... | 02:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest14684: if that doesn't do it then have a look at the man page for update-rc.d. you'll want to make sure you have runlevel startup scripts for kde | 02:26 |
| cluster | i don't know | 02:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | inktri right click desktop, go to wallpaper, last tab on the right | 02:26 |
| f4cel3ss | ok i installed it and this is the error | 02:26 |
| f4cel3ss | Failed to open "/media/disk/midi_G_RSP_v3.2a_TES_Elite_dAd.rar" for writing (Read-only file system). | 02:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest14684: ooops. i maent 'kdm' | 02:26 |
| cluster | i think it is becaus ei followed some how tos that didn't work and they messed it up | 02:26 |
| onetinsoldier | meant8 | 02:26 |
| x-ip | cluster, tryed to remove ur 'eth0' kernel module ? | 02:27 |
| x-ip | and then modprobe it ? | 02:27 |
| inktri | jack_sparrow thanks worked. so i have to do this whenever i play avis? why? | 02:27 |
| cluster | no i don't know how | 02:27 |
| * x-ip goes for more beer | 02:27 | |
| f4cel3ss | ok | 02:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest66429: you might try update-alternatives --config x-display-manager and update-alternatives --config x-window-manager | 02:27 |
| f4cel3ss | see u later | 02:27 |
| bidossessi | f4cel3ss, you can't use it right away that way. for the automagic to happen, you should reboot first (or modprobe the specified module) then it will all start working automatically | 02:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | inktri #compiz can explain and or try to get them behaving for you | 02:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest66429: if that doesn't do it then have a look at the man page for update-rc.d. you'll want to make sure you have runlevel startup scripts for kdm | 02:27 |
| nnull | exodus_ms¬ will do :) | 02:27 |
| x-ip | cluster, are u connected right now with eth0 ? | 02:28 |
| cluster | no i use wireless to get on the internet | 02:28 |

| bidossessi | loool | 02:33 |
| cluster | ok what do you mean by kernel module (i am sorry very new) | 02:34 |
| === andre is now known as Guest81379 | ||
| bidossessi | cluster, you could call it the linux equivalent of a driver, for now | 02:34 |
| === ben_ is now known as isdaft | ||
| Anacranom | cluster, x-ip , why not sudo lshw -C network | 02:35 |
| isdaft | Helloooo | 02:35 |
| x-ip | Anacranom, i didnt know that command | 02:35 |
| cluster | whats that command do exactly, update the kernel? | 02:35 |
| Anacranom | x-ip, for ubuntu, it is very handy | 02:35 |
| x-ip | excellent Anacranom ! | 02:35 |
| x-ip | cluster, nopes, we are trying to know which kernel module use ur network card | 02:36 |
| x-ip | and Anacranom told the solution ;) | 02:36 |
| x-ip | cluster, write the command that Anacranom says | 02:36 |
| cluster | yeah | 02:37 |
| x-ip | and look a string that will say 'driver= xxx ' | 02:37 |

| x-ip | cluster, excellent | 02:38 |
| bidossessi | is there a way i can install syslog-ng without loosing ubuntu-minimal, or can i afford to loose ubuntu-minimal in a normal system without adverse effects? | 02:38 |
| Paw | So how is everyone :/ | 02:38 |
| x-ip | cluster, do this in the terminal : sudo rmmod e100; modprobe e100 | 02:38 |
| bidossessi | Paw, pretty green | 02:38 |
| peleg | look at this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469755 --> I think that I have the same bug in ubuntu 7.10 | 02:39 |
| Paw | Is there anyway to run Ubuntu on safe graphics mode, ubuntu hates my video card.. | 02:39 |
| x-ip | bidossessi, if u need it, install it | 02:39 |
| peleg | That is, whenever I run notify-send from a fullscreen, it is not shown (not only not shown OVER the fullscreen, but not shown at all; for example, if I run it without being in the fullscreen at the moment - I still can't see it from the outside) | 02:39 |
| cluster | i go thtis after modprobe e100 | 02:40 |
| cluster | FATAL: Error inserting e100 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/drivers/net/e100.ko): Operation not permitted | 02:40 |

| tsrk | should /vmlinux be writeable by all? | 02:40 |
| bidossessi | x-ip, like i said, installing it automatically removes ubuntu-minimal. what i want to know is how critical that package is to my daily life | 02:40 |
| x-ip | cluster, ups, sudo rmmod e100; sudo modprobe e100 | 02:40 |
| un_dave | i have a raid 5 array mounted there, and i need to unmount it to check the filesystem before growing it. | 02:41 |
| x-ip | bidossessi, its a 'logger system', not critical | 02:41 |
| cluster | ok done, thanks by the way | 02:41 |
| krizalid | ubuntu-minimal is a meta-package afaik | 02:41 |
| bidossessi | x-ip, talking about ubuntu-minimal | 02:41 |
| krizalid | meta-packages can be removed without any problem | 02:41 |
| x-ip | bidossessi, krizalid told it | 02:41 |
| x-ip | cluster, well, try again firestarte | 02:41 |
| krizalid | make sure it is a meta-package first | 02:42 |
| bidossessi | that was helpful: thanks | 02:42 |
| krizalid | read its description | 02:42 |
| cluster | same error | 02:42 |
| x-ip | cluster, uuhhhh ... lets check at googl | 02:42 |

| peleg | sorry, here: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1645 | 02:45 |
| bidossessi | outboard, i'm sure u can boot in init 3 and use some dpkg script to reconfigure X | 02:45 |
| krizalid | sHaWnMH: Amarok | 02:45 |
| cluster | ok x-ip i found a similiar thread, it tolded me to change the ip to a static but the menus it went on i couldn't find....so how do i do this | 02:45 |
| bidossessi | cluster, does your eth0 show up now? | 02:46 |
| outboard | init 3 ? | 02:46 |
| scientes | what are the default sans and sans-serif fonts in bubuntu? | 02:46 |
| scientes | they are nameless | 02:46 |
| x-ip | cluster, u can do that doing: sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 for example | 02:46 |
| sHaWnMH | kizalid: will amarok be able to sync all the itunes would | 02:46 |
| x-ip | when u reboot, ur changes will be lost | 02:46 |
| un_dave | anyone know if i can safely unmount my /home directory? while the system is running? or will i have to boot from a live cd or something? | 02:46 |
| bidossessi | outboard, yes, during the grub part of your boot up, or later,by typing "init 3" as root | 02:47 |
| x-ip | so you can add this line to rc.local script | 02:47 |
| earthmeLon | Hello everybody!!! I'm having trouble with irssi not beeping on hilites. I am pretty sure I have irssi's setting correct. Is there something I need to do in gnome-terminal? | 02:47 |

| bidossessi | outboard, that should drop you too a non-X runlevel, where you should be able to reconfigre X, but i fail to remember the name of that particular script | 02:47 |
| n8tuser | un_dave-> why would you want to do such a thing? | 02:48 |
| |{urse | bidosessi sudo init 3 | 02:48 |
| |{urse | ? | 02:48 |
| bidossessi | un_dave, you want to resize your /home? | 02:48 |
| genii | |{urse: Because any entry there tells network manager that the interface has been manually configured so it doesn't bother doing anything with it | 02:48 |
| un_dave | n8tuser: its a raid5 array, and i need to chk the fs before i grow the ext3 filesystem | 02:48 |
| t0m__ | ahh bad news on the ATI flickering video and 3D games :( on 8.10 | 02:49 |
| |{urse | OH! well that actually makes sense thx Genii | 02:49 |
| |{urse | =) | 02:49 |
| un_dave | bidossessi: yes. it's on a seperate drive, and i just grew the raid5 drive | 02:49 |

| badawi | how do i find to which package does an installed file belong to? | 02:51 |
| bidossessi | un_dave, you could unmount from init 1 | 02:51 |
| genii | badawi: I just explained it to you. | 02:51 |
| badawi | genii: i'm sure there's an easier way not involving the internet | 02:52 |
| un_dave | bidossessi: whats init 1? | 02:52 |
| druntar_ | It won't let me install the broadcomSTA driver that I know works as it was working fine before I had to reinstall | 02:52 |
| x-ip | cluster, well. .... u'll have to read something about firewalls, and read the documentation from firestarter ... i think that the problem about 'firestarter doesnt start' is 'fixed' ... u have homework ;) | 02:52 |

| genii | badawi: Once a file is extracted from a package it does not keep a record of whence it came | 02:53 |
| bidossessi | genii: rpm allows you to find out wxhat package a file belongs to. aptitude must have its equivalent somewhere | 02:53 |
| cluster | ifconfig | 02:53 |
| badawi | genii: are you serious | 02:53 |
| un_dave | bidossessi: heh, yeah, but i'd have to do that from home anyways i guess. i'll be easier to boot from live cd then? i'm accessing the box from work at the moment. | 02:53 |
| cluster | opps :) | 02:53 |
| badawi | genii: in rpm it's rpm -qf /usr/bin/ls forexample | 02:54 |
| bidossessi | un_dave, safer, and more convenient | 02:54 |
| un_dave | bidossessi: out of curiosity, how would i start in init 1 if i wanted too? | 02:54 |
| genii | badawi: That would work well if ubuntu used rpm. But it doesn't | 02:54 |

| dr_willis | The apt/dpkg system has similer commands.. check the apt-get manuals. | 02:54 |

| Roasted | Does anybody here have any experience with CloneZilla on Ubuntu? | 02:58 |
| bidossessi | in other distros, rc scripts are compartmented by runlevel, so each time you cange, they are rerun, and since X only belongs it init 5, it's automatically killed if you change to any other | 02:58 |

| test34 | nickrud, I guess dd usage is less common then fdisk | 03:21 |
| nickrud | test34, yes. But I went round and round on that one time. it's why I know more about uuid's than I care to :) | 03:21 |
| genii | error404notfound: So you are calling up the site by for instance fqdn in browser but it times out from inside your lan this way? | 03:21 |
| araceli | i have the flash-nonfree plugin | 03:21 |
| bidossessi | it's 4:21 here and my wife wants some sleep. nice meeting the ubuntu community for the first time. for my first day using the distro, it wasn't too bad. see yall later, hopefully | 03:21 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: i can't beleive it since my md5sum looked all good, but i have read that perhaps re-downloading the iso might work. so i'm doing that now from a different server | 03:21 |
| _Zeus_ | cya bidossessi | 03:22 |
| error404notfound | genii: yup/// | 03:22 |
| Luminerd__ | Peace | 03:22 |
| genii | error404notfound: try: tracepath fqdn and see where it dies | 03:22 |
| nickrud | onetinsoldier, if you can, try it on someone elses machine, see if it will get to the desktop. At least you'll know if it's image/hardware issues | 03:22 |
| mamo[at]work | n8tuser: should i pm u and paste it? | 03:23 |
| Luminerd__ | N8tuser, would you mind informing me how to check if it is on the same subnet? I would google it but google is blocked -_- and all I have is my iPhone to IRC with | 03:23 |
| araceli | my flash non free plugin is still running a little slow, and this websites menu, which normally works on windows, is broken snkneogeousaconsumer.com I see large gray errors over wherever flash would be until I click them then flash starts | 03:24 |
| error404notfound | genii: it dies at my gateway... | 03:24 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: it's a kernel message, i that either the kernel that the installer uses doesn't get along with my sata dvd drive, or it's a bug in the kernel, or the iso was not good even tho the md5sum was ok. anyway, i cannot try it on someone elses machine. | 03:24 |
| _Zeus_ | araceli: you might want to look at getting the flash 10 prerelease | 03:24 |
| Awsoonn | onetinsoldier: I did indeed do that, and it's down now, but how about makign it never come up again? :) | 03:24 |
| genii | error404notfound: Looks like your router settings need examination then | 03:25 |
| gerbil | i'm loving 8.10 :) | 03:25 |

| gnutron | gerbil: did you upgrade from hardy? | 03:25 |
| gerbil | nah | 03:25 |
| gnutron | gerbil: ok | 03:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Awsoonn: well, that's why i asked if it was in that file earlier. since it's not in there, i dunno where it came from. you'll probably see again next time you reboot(as you seem to know), but i don't know. someone else might tho! | 03:26 |
| error404notfound | genii: I get this in messages of the gateway: http://pastebin.com/m49ba7867 | 03:26 |
| lordblaa | hi guys - really weird problem here. If i leave any usb drives plugged in when i boot up, they don't work and i get told to run chkdisk and reboot into windows twice, and buffer I/O errors in dmesg - but if i remove it and plug it in again it works fine | 03:26 |
| lordblaa | anyone had anything like this before? | 03:26 |
| genii | error404notfound: "martian" means your router thinks someone is trying to spoof into your network | 03:26 |
| _Zeus_ | araceli: download this file, http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz , and extract the file in the tar to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins | 03:27 |
| gerbil | I'm not very knowledgeable of linux. If I remove pulseaudio, will it affect sound quality? | 03:27 |
| amikrop | What is the best quality video format? | 03:27 |
| gerbil | I need to remove it for skype. | 03:27 |
| _Zeus_ | amikrop: umm, for what? | 03:27 |
| usser_ | lordblaa, yea i had that, couldn't find a fix myself. try running ntfsfix on those drives from ubuntu | 03:27 |
| error404notfound | genii: and that's the only thing I get in logs, may be sysctl.conf is too strict | 03:27 |
| amikrop | _Zeus_: for watching | 03:27 |
| CuriosCat | Anyone running ubuntu 8.10 in vmware get vmware tools to compile successfully (all modules)? | 03:27 |
| araceli | thanks you. ill let you know. | 03:27 |
| _Zeus_ | amikrop: do you care about space? | 03:27 |
| amikrop | _Zeus_: no | 03:27 |
| genii | error404notfound: It's refusing traffic from IPs which are supposed to be internal lan numbers. | 03:28 |
| lordblaa | usser_, what package is it in? | 03:28 |
| Ned_Flanders7 | CuriosCat: not currently but a few days ago I had that | 03:28 |
| gerbil | also would it be better to install flash from the adobe site or get a package? | 03:28 |
| _Zeus_ | amikrop: i guess uncompressed avi will be fine | 03:28 |
| _Zeus_ | i think that would be the best | 03:28 |
| amikrop | _Zeus_: ij, thanks | 03:29 |
| amikrop | * ok | 03:29 |
| usser_ | amikrop, nothing beats uncompressed raw video :) but amount of space taken is enormous. But seriously apple's mp4(h264) is really good | 03:29 |
| error404notfound | genii: any idea how can I reload sysctl.conf? touch sysctl.conf will help? | 03:29 |
| usser_ | lordblaa, ntfsutils | 03:29 |
| incadudeF | damn i getting error: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:29 |

| onetinsoldier | Awsoonn: hehe, sounds good! :-) | 03:30 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: scp? | 03:30 |
| usser_ | zenabo, there are plenty of options, proftpd, vsftpd | 03:30 |

| usser_ | zenabo, try GProftpd | 03:31 |
| zenabo | thanks | 03:31 |
| n8tuser | mamo[at]work-> okay, so just use your ethernet and not also the wifi at same time | 03:31 |
| zenabo | i was gonna ask for u to recomend one | 03:31 |
| error404notfound | genii: I changed sysctl.conf, its loaded at boot time, correct? how can I reload it after a manual change in the conf file. Normally we can reload the conf of most of daemons and etc if we just change the modification time, say by touch, correct? | 03:31 |
| zenabo | ill try that one out | 03:31 |
| _Zeus_ | if all you need to do is remotely access files, i would try scp | 03:31 |
| zenabo | :) | 03:31 |
| mamo[at]work | n8tuser: yup only the ethernet | 03:31 |
| genii | error404notfound: sudo sysctl -p | 03:31 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: would this be on your local network? | 03:31 |

| zenabo | yes | 03:32 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: just setup a nfs server then | 03:32 |
| _Zeus_ | that's not hard | 03:32 |
| jericke | moebody speak spanish? | 03:32 |
| bdizzle | hi | 03:32 |
| zenabo | any tutorial r something? | 03:32 |
| bdizzle | need some serious help with an issue | 03:32 |
| nickrud | !es | jericke | 03:32 |
| ubottu | jericke: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 03:32 |
| n8tuser | mamo[at]work-> now just having the ethernet connected to a router, what is the issue? | 03:32 |
| usser_ | zenabo, nfs is kinda complex, try openssh | 03:32 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: standby | 03:32 |
| usser_ | zenabo, sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 03:32 |
| Ned_Flanders7 | !ssh | 03:32 |
| bdizzle | I'll be patient but I need to get this done tonight | 03:32 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 03:32 |
| zenabo | needed something easy, pratical and quick | 03:32 |
| usser_ | zenabo, once its done from another linux machine on the terminal sftp serveraddress | 03:33 |
| jericke | what is ubuntu | 03:33 |
| bdizzle | I had to take out my hard drive from my laptop and put it into one of those external hard drive enclosure kits | 03:33 |
| n8tuser | Luminerd__-> what is the ip of the host and the ip of the printer? | 03:33 |
| nickrud | bdizzle, ask your question, completely, in one line if possible :) | 03:33 |
| zenabo | usser and if im accessing from windows? | 03:33 |
| bdizzle | trying | 03:33 |
| zenabo | just ip? | 03:33 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: for NFS, use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto for scp, just type scp user@host:/path/to/file /local/file/location | 03:33 |
| bidossessi | zenabo, sftp is built -in gnome now | 03:33 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: if you' | 03:33 |
| bidossessi | guess i'm still up, he he | 03:33 |
| _Zeus_ | *re in windows, you want samba | 03:33 |
| gerbil | does anyone know why title bars of apps like pidgin, firefox, vlc are glitchy | 03:33 |
| usser_ | zenabo, from windows you can use putty, which is a windows implementation of ssh protocol | 03:33 |
| mamo[at]work | n8tuser: to the switch/hub its say not connected.... directly to router still not connected | 03:33 |

| bdizzle | I had to take out my hard drive from my laptop and put it into one of those external hard drive enclosure kits. Windows was able to see the windows partition but not the linux partition of the drive. I tried booting into linux on my desktop and running it from there, but linux won't even see the external drive | 03:34 |
| bdizzle | anyonek know how to get it to mount it and read from it? | 03:34 |
| _Zeus_ | zenabo: you can also use a program called WinSCP in windows | 03:34 |
| Trampboy931 | hey uhh, can anyone help me? im new to linux and i need adobe flash player. | 03:34 |
| bidossessi | !ntfs | 03:34 |

| bdizzle | ok, I'll try that | 03:36 |
| Trampboy931 | wait, zeus what do u mean by "-not free" | 03:36 |

| Trampboy931 | umm, meaning (sorry) | 03:36 |
| Trampboy931 | ? | 03:36 |
| n8tuser | mamo[at]work-> use the command line to check your connectivity, ifconfig to check the status | 03:36 |
| bidossessi | !ifconfig | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig | 03:37 |
| bdizzle | bidossessi: for what? | 03:37 |
| bidossessi | ifconfig is deprecated. use "ip" instead | 03:37 |
| n8tuser | edugonch-> i think there is a bug reported for that.. | 03:37 |
| n8tuser | bidossessi-> dont give mis-information | 03:37 |
| mamo[at]work | n8tuser: which command line im kinda new at linux | 03:37 |
| bdizzle | bidossessi: it claims error -71 | 03:37 |
| edugonch | So I'll need to enter the data every time I restart | 03:38 |
| n8tuser | mamo[at]work-> i gave it to you, ifconfig | 03:38 |
| zenabo | how do u see me network ip in the terminal? | 03:38 |
| edugonch | until it get fixed | 03:38 |
| usser_ | zenabo, ifconfig | 03:38 |
| bidossessi | n8tuser, where would the mis-information be? | 03:38 |
| Trampboy931 | zeus, im absolutly totally new to linux/ubuntu i dont really know what open source is. :/ | 03:38 |
| _Zeus_ | !free | 03:38 |

| Trampboy931 | k | 03:38 |
| Trampboy931 | ty | 03:38 |
| n8tuser | bidossessi-> stating ifconfig is deprecated which is not | 03:38 |
| _Zeus_ | it's not a big deal, though... | 03:38 |
| mamo[at]work | n8tuser: i paste it to u in pm? | 03:38 |
| Trampboy931 | ima try this | 03:38 |
| bidossessi | Avoid ifconfig. It does not show unlabelled secondary addresses, does not show down interfaces by default, and uses an older kernel accessing method. Instead, please use: ip. Examples: ip a, ip r. See !ip for more information about the ip command. | 03:38 |

| n8tuser | mamo[at]work-> okay, your line 3 show your ip address...now what is the issue again? i cleared my buffer i cant scroll back | 03:43 |
| zenabo | installed it.. now? list of commands how can i see it? | 03:43 |
| bidossessi | zenabo, you could share your source folder using samba (nautilus) and look it up in windows with network neighborhood | 03:43 |
| keres | like gtk+, gtkglext, libxml2, zlib, libpng, and libmhash? | 03:43 |
| Trampboy931 | what are all these "read error" or "lost connection" do they just have bad connections? | 03:43 |
| onetinsoldier | incadudeF: that didn't work. try a /msg <message> instead. but you shouldn't do that without asking first tho. not considered proper IRC etiquette to do so without asking first | 03:43 |
| gnutron | zenabo: what are you trying to do, from where? | 03:43 |
| keres | zenable: dependencies i think, not programs | 03:43 |

| tommy_mancino | symlink? | 03:45 |
| n8tuser | mamo[at]work-> am getting confused, can you draw your network layout and show what devices are connected to what? | 03:45 |
| bidossessi | zenabo, nautilus is installed on your ubuntu machine. it's the file browser | 03:45 |
| tommy_mancino | How does the dev user see the ~/public_html folder from the main admin user? | 03:46 |
| scunizi | onetinsoldier, just curious .. what are you chastizing incadudeF for.. I haven't seen anything he's done to object to. | 03:46 |
| gnutron | zenabo: cd \temp putty has pscp builtin, yhis command would copy ubuntu files to c:\temp | 03:46 |
| Severian | lordapex, if you don't mind the command line, mpgtx is a good choice. It lets you edit directly. That is, you don't decode and recode the mp3, so you lose no quality. | 03:46 |
| Trampboy931 | what do u do if it says "time: unknown" just be patient? | 03:46 |
| Trampboy931 | nvm guys it done | 03:47 |
| genii | Trampboy931: Yes. It will either start to report an estimated time, or else timeout eventually | 03:47 |

| araceli | it puts the boxes over it then you click the box and it starts the flash, it is like flash block but not. | 03:51 |
| Severian | keres, I would open synaptic. Search for them and install them if they are found. Most of those, at least, should be there. | 03:51 |

| elvis | anybody knows what this means when you open a media file "Could not get/set settings from/on resource" ???? | 03:51 |

| n8tuser | svchost-> before you upgrade, hang around here for a few days, and see what people complaints are regarding upgrading | 03:58 |
| TritePseudonym | how much HD space does an install of ubuntu use? | 03:58 |

| svchost | and its got vista on there too. my laptop. | 03:59 |
| bidossessi | mamo[at]work, maybe the module for your nic is broken. check if it's been loaded. you said wifi isn't working either? don't you see your hotspots? | 03:59 |
| nickrud | sid, yes, by using eclipse from eclipse.org | 03:59 |
| zenabo | i shared a folder with ubuntu, when accessing from windows get access denied. where to change Login and pass in ubuntu? | 03:59 |
| svchost | but everyone is saying 8.10 has better broadcom support | 03:59 |

| fde | svchost1: ahh, yes... hold on | 04:17 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, applications* | 04:17 |
| fde | svchost1: you do that by following what bidossessi said | 04:17 |
| svchost1 | sorry, i've never actually used linux before really | 04:17 |
| nbeebo | is anyone pro on conky that can help me add a clock into my conky? | 04:17 |
| fde | svchost1: or rather what bidossessi told ubottu to tell you | 04:17 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, basically the same place.. but you might close that and go to System>Admin>synaptic package manager and try there.. you might get an error code that we can use.. | 04:17 |
| svchost1 | kk | 04:17 |
| svchost1 | im reading now | 04:17 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, ok ill try brb | 04:17 |
| joemac1 | My nvidia drivers have stopped working on upgrade to Intrepid. They were fine in Hardy. I have tried 173 driver and 93(?) drivers to no avail. On restart it tells me there is an issue with the drivers | 04:17 |
| fde | svchost1: you want b43-firmware, the .deb here: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/ | 04:18 |
| strider | Any ideas? | 04:18 |
| fde | wonder why he packaged fwcutter and bcm43xx stuff though :/ | 04:18 |
| Aranel | If I install Amarok 2.0, it'll replace my existing amarok, right? | 04:18 |
| bidossessi | fde, to have it all in one place? :) | 04:18 |
| joemac1 | I can't seem to get the 177 drivers for nvidia | 04:18 |
| mcquaid | fresh 8.10 install, admin -> hardware drivers just hangs on 'searching for available drivers' | 04:19 |
| Ned_Flanders7 | idk if this is what you're looking for but theres : b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware in the repos | 04:19 |
| fde | bidossessi: bcm43xx is deprecated, and b43-fwcutter is in hardy I would think... psst, cafuego you around to clarify? | 04:19 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, sunjava or javacc? | 04:19 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, sunjava | 04:19 |
| mcquaid | i applied all updates change synaptic to find fastest rep | 04:19 |
| nexus23 | can someone help me with installing flash in opera | 04:19 |
| fde | Ned_Flanders7: he is getting the firmware that that extracts | 04:19 |
| Ned_Flanders7 | if it does the same thing I would use the repos | 04:20 |
| fde | Me too, which is why I am wondering why cafuego has it packaged in his repo | 04:20 |
| fde | mamo[at]work: of course it supports WPA... what version of Ubuntu? | 04:21 |
| mneptok | BCM43xx devices shouls be handled through Jockey in Hardy or later. | 04:21 |
| mneptok | *should | 04:21 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, since you're so new at this you might enjoy a little reading. the link will allow you to download a pdf book on Ubuntu that you could buy in the store too if you wanted.. good place to start. http://www.scribd.com/doc/8778392/Apressbeginningubuntulinux2ndeditionmar2007 | 04:21 |
| fde | mneptok: would jockey get the firmware automatically? | 04:21 |
| mneptok | fde: shouldn't have to. | 04:22 |
| fde | mneptok: cuz the wiki points you to packaged firmware | 04:22 |
| mamo[at]work | fde: 8.10 but the things is my hardware doesnt supports it | 04:22 |
| mneptok | fde: System > Admin > Hardware drivers | 04:22 |
| bidossessi | mamo[at]work, what chipset do you have there for your wifi card? | 04:22 |
| mamo[at]work | n btw my wired still not working | 04:22 |
| fde | mneptok: then it needs to fetch the firmware, trust me | 04:22 |
| skylarS | is there a vim package that I can get that will give me syntax highlighting without getting vim-full | 04:22 |
| skylarS | ? | 04:22 |
| mneptok | fde: try Jockey. | 04:22 |
| fde | mneptok: I've only set up about 100 broadcom cards, what do I know? | 04:23 |
| qcjn | hi, i think i've got an error in this command, it give's me not a regular file..scp /media/SEAGATE_NEX/Ma\ musique/Rock/Sparks/1974\ -\ Propaganda/ qcjnserv@192.168.0.102:/media/disk/ | 04:23 |

| Trampboy931 | scunizi, ok im gonna try that then | 04:23 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, umm, sorry to say but, i can decide which 1 to download | 04:23 |
| coppro | okay, this is weird | 04:23 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, there's "docs" and "cores" and all sorts of thins | 04:23 |
| * mneptok goes back to paying customers | 04:23 | |
| Trampboy931 | things* | 04:23 |
| FloodBot3 | Trampboy931: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:23 |
| cE_LutcHu | hi | 04:23 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, omg sorry, i meant i cant* decide | 04:23 |

| cE_LutcHu | hai | 04:23 |
| Trampboy931 | FloodBot3, sorry but, what? | 04:23 |
| chaztrip | anyone here using the latest kubuntu? | 04:23 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, hang on I'll look.. did you see my previous post with the book link? | 04:24 |
| coppro | #kubuntu | 04:24 |
| cE_LutcHu | hai | 04:24 |
| gnutron | qcjn: i dunno if scp will support whitespaces | 04:24 |
| fde | mneptok: then take it away with svchost1 | 04:24 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, no i didnt, ill look | 04:24 |
| coppro | wait... that's a speech bubble | 04:24 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: i dunno, its really old laptops | 04:24 |
| nexus23 | how do i get flash working in opera? | 04:24 |
| coppro | probably compiz issues :/ | 04:24 |
| mamo[at]work | cE_LutcHu: halo halo | 04:24 |
| gnutron | qcjn: mv them to a simple dir first | 04:24 |
| svchost1 | i still dont get how to edit sources.list.. | 04:24 |
| gbear14275 | Is anyone hear aware of the ubuntu-vuze update issue? | 04:24 |
| nexus23 | /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so | 04:24 |
| mamo[at]work | cE_LutcHu: apa kabar? | 04:24 |
| nexus23 | its showing up in the plugins | 04:24 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, found it! ill take a look | 04:24 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, do the sun-java-<x>.bin file and it will probably pull in some other things to go along with it. | 04:25 |
| fde | svchost1: don't worry about it... is anything displayed in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers about the broadcom? | 04:25 |
| mneptok | svchost1: did you try Jockey? | 04:25 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: its used lucent/agere | 04:25 |
| qcjn | gnutron: hi, to my knowledge, it did before..but it's a good suggestion | 04:25 |
| bidossessi | mamo[at]work, you should see it in your shell where you ran lshw -C | 04:25 |
| gnutron | qcjn: try tossing in a wilcard at the end | 04:25 |
| mneptok | svchost1: System > Admin > Hardware drivers | 04:25 |
| n8tuser | svchost-> you need to do a tutorial on vim or nano or joe as editors.. | 04:25 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, sorry ill be right back, i gotta go eat | 04:25 |
| gnutron | qcjn: or scp -r maybe | 04:25 |
| scunizi | k | 04:25 |
| qcjn | gnutron: i think that' it | 04:26 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: driver=oricono <-- oricono chipset? | 04:26 |
| fde | mneptok: what was the broken intel NIC in intrepid... not e1000 but the one with the additional letter... did it ever get fixed? | 04:26 |
| coppro | xkill isn't working; How do you get the PID of a window? | 04:26 |
| mneptok | fde: i think the 5100 series have issues. dunno what the bug status is. | 04:27 |
| scunizi | coppro, in terminal type top | 04:27 |
| Ned_Flanders7 | ps | 04:27 |
| bidossessi | mamo[at]work, oricon != boradcom, or i missed something | 04:27 |
| coppro | scunizi: that doesn't help | 04:27 |
| scunizi | coppro, or on the task bar (upper or lower) right mouse click and "add" system monitor.. you can kill stuff there. | 04:27 |
| bidossessi | is there a firwmare for that? | 04:27 |
| coppro | I don't know what window it is | 04:28 |
| coppro | I just want to figure out what the PID is so I can kill -KILL it | 04:28 |
| qcjn | gnutron: that was it ! Thanks ! so thats what it's gonna play, in a couple of minutes | 04:28 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: and i saw this too: 82801DB PRO/ VE (MOB) Ethernet Controler, vendor = intel | 04:28 |

| coppro | does it matter? | 04:30 |
| FloodBot3 | coppro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:30 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: built in | 04:30 |

| === Teiseiii is now known as Teisei | ||
| gnutron | coppro: what kind of 'window'? | 04:30 |
| gbear14275 | mneptok: don't seem to know how to get it working in ubuntu... issue raised itself when trying to use skype the other night | 04:30 |
| gnutron | coppro: a konsole? | 04:31 |
| fde | coppro: the window is on the screen? ctrl+esc should change the mouse curser... then just click the window | 04:31 |
| coppro | gnutron: a gray bubble that looks like a taskbar message or something, but is stuck in the top-left corner of my screen | 04:31 |
| gbear14275 | mneptok: should say ubuntu 8.10 | 04:31 |
| coppro | fde: nope, tried that | 04:31 |
| mneptok | gbear14275: does the mic work in the Sound Recorder app? | 04:31 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, ill be back in a while, ima read up and eat dinner | 04:31 |
| coppro | it apparently isn't sending SIGKILL, which is what I need | 04:31 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, k.. cya | 04:31 |
| gbear14275 | nope :-/ | 04:31 |

| svchost1 | 404 Not Found | 04:31 |
| coppro | wow, it's gone | 04:31 |
| svchost1 | whats up with that? | 04:31 |
| coppro | weird | 04:31 |
| fde | coppro: can you take a screenshot and throw it onto http://imagepaste.com/ ? | 04:31 |
| coppro | nope | 04:32 |
| gnutron | coppro: i did that, telekinesis | 04:32 |
| coppro | thanks | 04:32 |
| gbear14275 | just to be sure, the t61 has a mic located under the fn key right mneptok | 04:32 |
| mneptok | gbear14275: you tell me. it's your laptop ;) | 04:32 |
| coppro | oh, I think I know... it was adept notifier | 04:32 |
| coppro | that thing has never worked for me under compiz | 04:32 |
| coppro | and I just did an apt-get update | 04:32 |
| svchost1 | anyone know why im getting a 404 when i try and install these nvidia drivers? | 04:32 |
| coppro | (btw new adept sucks) | 04:32 |
| gnutron | coppro: compiz does weird stuff | 04:33 |
| gbear14275 | mneptok: lol, looks like a mic... and thats where this saying has to end | 04:33 |
| coppro | oh wait, that's synaptic. | 04:33 |
| coppro | same difference | 04:33 |
| fde | mneptok: can you not do separate devices in jockey? apparently he's having to mess with nvidia stuff now, which I suspect is due to no connection on the machine... | 04:34 |
| gbear14275 | i'm not familiar with the way the device list works in volume control... anyone able to explain why the list is so long and why some devices have labels and others dont? | 04:35 |
| fde | mneptok: seems like it'd be difficult to get jockey to do anything useful without network access btw | 04:35 |
| mneptok | gbear14275: Double click on the speaker icons on the right side of the top GNOME panel. Select Edit > Preferences from the menu. Turn every option on. Go to the Recording tab and bring the volume up and make sure that the speaker and microphone icons are not muted (marked by a red "x" if muted). | 04:35 |
| gnutron | svchost1: 404 is http for file not found | 04:35 |
| mneptok | fde: so use wired. | 04:35 |
| fde | mneptok: he doesn't have wired | 04:35 |
| mneptok | gbear14275: Go to Applications > Sound and Video > Sound Recorder and test. If the microphone does not function, and other microphone input options are available, alter the input options and see if others may work. | 04:35 |
| fde | mneptok: hence getting him to grab it and sneaker net from cafuego's site | 04:35 |
| svchost1 | when i type in su | 04:35 |
| svchost1 | whats the password supposed to be? | 04:36 |
| svchost1 | cuz what i thought it would be, it isnt it | 04:36 |
| fde | svchost1: your password | 04:36 |
| tritium | !sudo | svchost1 | 04:36 |

| svchost1 | my password didnt work | 04:36 |
| svchost1 | lol | 04:36 |
| fde | svchost1: ahh, sudo, not su | 04:36 |
| tritium | svchost1: the root account is disabled. use sudo | 04:36 |
| gbear14275 | mneptok: thanks... i'll play around and report back | 04:36 |
| mneptok | gbear14275: # If the microphone is working properly on the system, you may need to change Skype's input options. From Skype's main menu select Options > Sound Devices and alter the preferences. | 04:36 |

| bidossessi | fde, can't that be done graphically? | 04:38 |
| gnutron | svchost1: sudo /etc/apt/sources.list ...backup first | 04:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | svchost1 do you have gui or cli only | 04:38 |
| gnutron | svchost1: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ...backup first | 04:38 |
| svchost1 | excellent | 04:38 |
| svchost1 | why backup? | 04:38 |
| svchost1 | if i mess it up i'll just wipe it and redo it :-P | 04:39 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi are you there? | 04:39 |
| fde | bidossessi: what do you mean? it'd be nice if you could right click > run as superuser or something, but I don't think its there yet in the menu | 04:39 |
| gnutron | svchost1: insurance | 04:39 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: i guess i should back to 8.04 for this laptop | 04:39 |
| bidossessi | svchost?? wipe it? there's a lot of stuff already there | 04:39 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, fast dinner | 04:39 |
| onefunk | greetings all. | 04:39 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, lol yeah | 04:40 |
| bidossessi | fde, i mean, add repos from a gui (makes it safer for the new-user, less prone to go sudo vi /etc/fstab for instance) | 04:40 |
| fde | bidossessi: yes, you can, and you pointed him at how... but apparently he's ignoring it | 04:40 |
| svchost1 | i got an error | 04:40 |
| svchost1 | something about no public key.. | 04:41 |
| fde | svchost1: just say yes, and/or ignore it | 04:41 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, so what do use to open the flash downloader with? | 04:41 |
| hcq0411 | hey | 04:41 |
| bidossessi | svchost1, you can relatively safely ignore that error | 04:41 |
| fde | Trampboy931: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 04:41 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, the little box on the left of the file name.. click that and choose install.. when done at the top of the box is "Apply" | 04:42 |
| bidossessi | fde, tried that one today, and it didn't work. had to use the deb from the adobe webpage | 04:42 |
| svchost1 | i still dont see the network card | 04:43 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, ack i dont c anything like that im confuzzled | 04:43 |
| mamo[at]work | same here T.T | 04:43 |
| bidossessi | don't you sometimes wish you had a plane handy? lol | 04:43 |
| svchost1 | do i need to reboot to see this stuff? | 04:44 |
| Peter_G | Hello, everyone. I need some help creating a "symbolic link," I was told. I have a laptop running Ubuntu, no internal optical drive. I have an external USB DVD reader. When I try to watch a homemade disc in under Xine, it tells me it can't find any device. I was told a symbolic link will fix this. But when I look, the DVD reader is showing up under cdrom0. Is this part of the problem, or can it be worked around? | 04:44 |
| mamo[at]work | fde , bidossessi : i guess im back to my old 8.04 | 04:44 |
| Formode | Hi All, I have Ubuntu and Windows both installed on my hard drive on seperate partitions. I installed Linux then Windows, I am not getting GRUB come up. Do I need to reinstall it? | 04:44 |
| coppro | Formode: yes | 04:44 |
| svchost1 | im gonna try rebooting i guess | 04:44 |
| svchost1 | see if anything happens | 04:44 |
| coppro | windows will overwrite GRUB with its own bootloader | 04:44 |
| Formode | coppro, Do you know how I would? | 04:44 |
| bidossessi | mamo[at]work, it seems counter_intuitive. did your laptop connections use to work using hardy? | 04:45 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, did you do the install already? | 04:45 |
| === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord | ||
| coppro | Formode: hmm... I believe you make a live CD, chroot into your Linux installation, and run grub-install | 04:45 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, no, i dont know what do to T.T | 04:45 |
| Trampboy931 | oops | 04:45 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, ok.. is Synaptic still open? | 04:45 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, yars | 04:46 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: yes its wired works okay on 8.04, but not the wireless but its okay for me wireless ^^ | 04:46 |
| Formode | coppro, I have read that doing so would overwrite my Master Boot Record, which may bother windows, is that true? | 04:46 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, find sun-java-<number>.bin and to the left of the file name is a box.. put a check mark in it | 04:46 |
| eseven73 | !grub | Formode | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Formode: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:46 |
| coppro | Formode: you may have to modify your boot configuration for GRUB, but other than that, you should be fine | 04:47 |
| bidossessi | guess the update breaks your wired, then. you should report it to the bugs-muncher ubuntu uses | 04:47 |
| Formode | eseven73, Thank you so much | 04:47 |
| eseven73 | np | 04:47 |
| bidossessi | if it hasn't been done already | 04:47 |
| fde | bidossessi: I'd be willing to bet she uses the intel card that is blacklisted due to causes physical damage to cards, but didn't read the release notes to know not to upgrade | 04:48 |
| mamo[at]work | luckyly | 04:48 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, i found sun-java6-bin | 04:48 |
| Trampboy931 | that wrok? | 04:48 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, that's it.. | 04:48 |
| Trampboy931 | work* | 04:48 |
| Trampboy931 | \ok | 04:48 |
| mamo[at]work | i have my 8.04 with me now | 04:48 |
| mamo[at]work | hohoho | 04:48 |
| bidossessi | i really need to sleep now, but this irc linuxing is bloody addictive!! lol | 04:48 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi , fde : thx ya'll | 04:49 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, im installing =D | 04:49 |
| fde | Trampboy931: you probably want to just 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras' it has all this stuff, and codecs and stuff so you can play music | 04:49 |
| tritium | bidossessi: there is no bleeding involved, typically | 04:49 |

| nickrud | au contraire tritium you've done a bit of it yourself, metaphorically | 04:50 |
| gbear14275 | mneptok: hmm... ok I've gotten limited success... I managed to get the sounds to work... although I don't really know why or how my settings affect that... and skype can work with the left speaker only | 04:50 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: i did | 04:50 |
| fde | tritium: speak for yourself, I regularly have a bloody forehead from headbutting things... hah | 04:50 |
| ball | bidossessi: I tried, but failed | 04:50 |
| mamo[at]work | bidossessi: my office using ubuntu 8.04 | 04:50 |
| gbear14275 | mneptok: although if i set the ring out to one device and the sound out to another... the test sound will come out both speakers | 04:50 |
| bidossessi | i'd love to compare notes (i have opensuse running successfully on a few desktops at work with ldap at the back.) maybe there's a blog out there | 04:51 |

| Jack_Sparrow | onefunk Please post a description and not just a link | 04:53 |
| Trampboy931 | scunizi, im on wireless, it says itll take 1/2 an hour | 04:53 |
| bullgard4 | gnutron: oO | 04:54 |
| Severian | onefunk, it means your install did not complete because it needed a program it could not find. | 04:54 |
| scunizi | Trampboy931, that's a slow connection or you have the wrong mirrors chosen to download from.. where are you located? | 04:54 |

| gnutron | bullgard4: it allows you to browse available streams, a good thing. | 04:54 |
| tritium | DefunctProcess: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 04:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onefunk What changes have you made to your sources list | 04:55 |
| gnutron | DefunctProcess: gdm | 04:55 |

| === _Leppers is now known as Leppers_ | ||
| tritium | DefunctProcess: run that command, and you'll be asked to select. | 04:56 |
| DefunctProcess | gnutron, i have both KDE and Gnome I want to be able to choose which manager, right now its kdm but i want to change it | 04:56 |
| vanberge | so - if i do "glxinfo | grep direct" and that comes back yes... why wouldn't i be able to enable desktop effects?? | 04:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DefunctProcess at the login you can pick which you want to use | 04:56 |
| gnutron | DefunctProcess: at the login screen in options choose what you want | 04:56 |
| _svchost | well.. i screwed it up | 04:56 |
| _svchost | i tried installing the nvidia drivers that it said to install on there.. and now the screens always black | 04:57 |
| DefunctProcess | Jack_Sparrow, thanks but thats not the question i asked, I know how to chose gnome or kde session im talking about the login daemon, tritium was correct | 04:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 04:57 |
| DefunctProcess | tritium, I got an error after choosing should i be worried? invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed. | 04:57 |
| _svchost | any recommendations? | 04:58 |
| tritium | DefunctProcess: it was one of the choices, right? So, it should be installed... | 04:58 |
| _svchost | guess not, lol.. | 04:58 |
| DefunctProcess | tritium, yes i chose it gdm was there but after i chose i got that error | 04:59 |

| jrib | onetinsoldier, nexus23: there's no need to sudo that command | 05:03 |
| eseven73 | bjl-: ok cause also there's a JRE 6 plugin too, and fonts, etc | 05:03 |
| nexus23 | i didnt | 05:03 |
| svchost1 | the screen is just black.. nothing on it.. thats the gist of this whole thing.. | 05:03 |

| Severian | svchost1, can you do a Ctrl-Alt-F2? Do you know what that means? | 05:03 |

| onetinsoldier | jrib: oh, roger | 05:04 |
| svchost1 | what will that do severian? | 05:04 |
| eseven73 | bjl-: what i did was in synaptic, i just installed everything that said "JRE 6 blah blah" and it fixed it for me :) | 05:04 |
| eseven73 | have you tried using Opera to see if the java works on that bjl- ? | 05:04 |
| Severian | svchost1, That will take you to a text login. There, you can login and look at the log files. | 05:04 |
| djuhl35 | nexus23, I've never gotten flash to work with Opera... I use firefox | 05:05 |
| nexus23 | i cant take firefox anymore | 05:05 |

| eseven73 | me either nexus23 , Opera for me | 05:05 |
| svchost1 | blah.. forget it. linux isnt worth all this trouble.. | 05:05 |
| djuhl35 | If I could get Opera to use flash I'd use Opera... | 05:05 |
| nexus23 | have you gotten flash working eseven73 ? | 05:05 |
| tritium | svchost1: it certainly is | 05:05 |
| eklypze | hey guys.. anyone using kubuntu 8.10 know how to set console default size upon open? | 05:06 |
| Severian | svchost1, Linux is generally easier than BSD, but use what works | 05:06 |
| eseven73 | djuhl35: what version of opera did you try? the one in the repos does NOT work good (flash broke) | 05:06 |
| nnull | eklypze¬ #kubuntu maybe of better help ;) | 05:06 |
| svchost1 | nah, windows is better anyways.. i was only going to use linux because its more secure. but if i have to spend 40 hours just to get it to work, its definately not worth it | 05:06 |
| eklypze | oh, sorry xD | 05:06 |
| eseven73 | you want the Opera .deb file from opera's site, it has working flash | 05:06 |
| djuhl35 | It was a relatively recent one... 9.6 I think | 05:06 |
| tritium | svchost1: since you mentioned nvidia, did you follow instructions on the wiki? | 05:06 |
| scunizi | svchost, where did you get the nvidia drivers from .. nvidia's site? | 05:06 |
| nnull | eklypze¬ ill forgive you this one time... but if it happens again... i want a kidney. | 05:07 |
| svchost1 | no, i went into the device drivers thingy | 05:07 |
| nnull | :) | 05:07 |
| nexus23 | i did eseven73 | 05:07 |
| nexus23 | still not working | 05:07 |
| Severian | svchost1, windows is not better than anything I can think of. But, good luck. | 05:07 |
| nexus23 | 10 apparently has alot of problems | 05:07 |
| svchost1 | there was an nvidia drivers thing.. i checked it.. and rebooted and now nothing | 05:07 |
| svchost1 | windows works, which is more than i can say for linux | 05:07 |
| djuhl35 | Now I am interested in smart cards... But have no clue where to get the cards or how to set anything up... Google has too many hits to find a starting point | 05:07 |
| eseven73 | Opera 9.62 is what you want djuhl35 | 05:07 |
| vanberge | would anyone help me with glx, etc. base install... glxinfo | grep direct = yes. but can't enable desktop effexts | 05:07 |
| onefunk | jack_Sparrow, thank you. i did that. now i'm not getting the error msg in the terminal. | 05:07 |

| Meshezabeel | heya, my little switch user icon in the top right corner, used to be a circle, now it's always a red triangle, any ideas why? | 05:08 |
| djuhl35 | eseven73, and flash 10 will work? | 05:08 |
| eseven73 | yep | 05:08 |
| tritium | svchost1: do yo have a support question? Otherwise, you're offtopic. | 05:08 |
| Severian | svchost1, Actually Linux works much better than Windows. You may have a problem, but it sounds like it is the hardware you have. | 05:08 |
| jrib | svchost1: if you want support, ask a support question. If you want to complain, please take it elsewhere. Yes, not everything works. That's why channels like this exist. And that's why the bug tracker exists | 05:08 |
| svchost1 | blame my hardware.. | 05:08 |
| onefunk | Jack_Sparrow, i still get this msg when installing progs in synaptic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83848/ any advices? | 05:08 |
| scunizi | svchost1, that's because most drivers are built for windows.. manufacturers are just now opening things up to make it easier on other systems.. | 05:08 |
| djuhl35 | eseven73, I'll give it another try | 05:09 |

| svchost1 | you know what i do to install a driver in windows? i click on an executable file and follow a simple and painless gui, then it works.. linux drivers are all kinds of command line bs, editing stuff with admin priveleges thru the terminal and all kinds of other bs. they ought to wrap all that stuff up in gui's and make it painfully easy to do | 05:10 |

| Formode | Hello, how would I go about finding the (HDx,x) address for my windows partition to apply to GRUBs menu? | 05:20 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, There are several pastebins available. Pick one and go to their main page. Put your text in the big box and send it. It will give you a URL you can put here. That is the way you show big blocks of text to people in this channel. | 05:20 |
| scunizi | !ccsm | vanberge | 05:20 |
| ubottu | vanberge: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 05:20 |

| Severian | almark, I have no idea what you are trying to do. I understand the boot process fairly well, and setting up dual boot and such. What you describe does not make sense. I am not saying you are ignorant. I am saying there is a communications problem with getting your goals defined to me. | 05:38 |

| gbear14275 | Racoon1: you ever used bittorrent? you can get one especially fast using that, OR... just download and burn one | 05:42 |
| Racoon1 | My Webcam functions better under ubuntu and I dont want to get rid of my WIndows XP which is why I installed "Wubi" | 05:42 |
| Formode1 | I installed both OS's just through my own workings, I did the grub restart as per the ubottu's instructions. scunizi. | 05:42 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, I only added at the bottom. There may be more needed, though. What workgroup are you using on your XP machine? | 05:42 |
| gbear14275 | Racoon1: or if you order one they can ship you one for free | 05:42 |
| === nick|here is now known as nick|away | ||
| almark | tries to answer his own questions lol | 05:42 |
| scunizi | Formode1, can you pastbin what's in /boot/grub/menu.list ? | 05:42 |
| bazhang | Racoon1, you can easily dual boot, that is a different topic however | 05:42 |
| Formode1 | scunizi, Yes. :) | 05:42 |
| friendofyhwh | Severian...JCARTES...ah...have not fixed that as yet... | 05:42 |
| gbear14275 | Racoon1: I dualboot both XP and Ubuntu as I did not want to get rid of XP either at first | 05:43 |
| gbear14275 | Racoon1: its very easy to install a dual boot | 05:43 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, So, you see where near the top of smb.conf you need to change that. After tose changes, you need to restart the samba service. | 05:43 |
| Formode1 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6a7cde7 scunizi | 05:43 |
| gbear14275 | jrib: you still around? | 05:44 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, tose -> those | 05:44 |
| Racoon1 | Im wasting my time using Ubuntu for crying aloud | 05:44 |
| almark | :Severian I should have made myself clearer, what I have done is when i installed Ubuntu I didn't want it to install its own grub, I have Gentoo I wanted Gentoo's grub to remain on my MBR I'll type more after a few ppl talk so I don't hog everything. | 05:44 |
| Severian | Racoon1, Ubuntu is not good for crying aloud. I suggest Windows for that. | 05:44 |
| corey | how do u like gentoo? | 05:44 |
| coppro | Severian: trying to configure a mac works too | 05:44 |
| Racoon1 | My webcam is way faster on Ubuntu | 05:45 |
| bazhang | !offtopic | corey | 05:45 |
| ubottu | corey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:45 |
| friendofyhwh | Severian...how to restart samba service? | 05:45 |
| Racoon1 | And I wanted a specific software for my webcam which runs under only linux | 05:45 |
| almark | I like it, but.... you know if you use it. Its a real pain to get things working even in 3 days it takes some real understanding to find out how to make certain things compile the way you want them to. | 05:45 |
| friendofyhwh | easily... | 05:45 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, rebooting the system would work. There is a command line way, but if you don't do it often, just reboot. | 05:46 |
| Racoon1 | Alright well I guess ill come back tomorrow | 05:46 |
| Racoon1 | to try and get this resolved | 05:46 |
| tritium | friendofyhwh: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart | 05:46 |
| bazhang | please take gentoo chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:46 |

| === wangbf is now known as ix8100 | ||
| scunizi | Formode1, ok.. I think I see the problem.. the "root" line in the menu.lst shows windows as (hd0,0).. if it was the second OS installed and the partition used was more toward the end of the drive then the 0,0 reference is incorrect. | 05:46 |
| ix8100 | ii | 05:46 |
| Severian | tritium, that will work for friendofyhwh I just was not sure if he wanted that method. | 05:47 |
| nnull | anyone help me with my sound problem? using alsa its an old onboard soundcard, sound from flash movies in firefox works PERFECTLY! .. any other sounds including ubuntu startup sound ive found so far make terrible speaker damaging noises when trying to play divx mp3 ogg etc audio media, any help guys? | 05:47 |
| Formode1 | scunizi, Oh. Ok. how would I find out which is correct? | 05:47 |
| tritium | Severian: ok | 05:47 |
| gbear14275 | lol, we should have pointed racoon1 to the debian people... they usually are MUCH more tolerant of his type ;) | 05:47 |
| almark | :Severian So because Gentoo's grub is installed in my MBR Ubuntu didn't get the chance to use its own, all Ubuntu did was copy the files for kernel and others to my /boot folder, I then well thats not important. So I had to manually insert the Ubuntu kernel name in the menu.lst in my boot folder. And that is why I'm confused about the files within boot that were installed by Ubuntu. more later | 05:48 |
| gbear14275 | jrib: if you are still about, that helped give my drive a label... but didn't help with the mount point | 05:48 |
| scunizi | Formode1, as you count the partitions, the first is Ubuntu (maybe), then /swap, then windows.. so the correct reference might be (hd0,2) ... that references the 3rd partition | 05:48 |
| friendofyhwh | Severian...tried that in my terminal window but it says unknown initscript | 05:49 |
| scunizi | Formode1, 0=1st partition | 05:49 |
| jrib | gbear14275: the mount point is chosen using the label, unmount and remount | 05:49 |
| Severian | almark, So, are the Ubuntu and Gentoo in different partitions? I assume so. | 05:49 |
| almark | :Severian Yes they are | 05:49 |
| Formode1 | scunizi, Hm. Ok. I think it would be 0,1, then. | 05:49 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, Maybe you don't have samba installed. Check in Synaptic and see if samba is installed. | 05:49 |
| almark | :Severian I had alot to say and more I have to tell you soon | 05:50 |
| friendofyhwh | ok | 05:50 |
| scunizi | Formode1, 0,1 would be the first drive second partition | 05:50 |
| === CuriosCat is now known as CuriosTiger | ||
| Formode1 | scunizi, Thank you, I will try that now | 05:50 |
| scunizi | Formode1, why did you install on a seperate partition? for gaming? if not for gaming vbox might be a solution | 05:50 |
| gbear14275 | jrib: was never mounted when i set the label but its still giving me the same error | 05:50 |
| almark | :Severian due this me having to type the Ubuntu kernel in my Gentoo grub menu.lst All i did was append the names as usual so when I boot up my computer I see Gentoo and others Gentoo kernels in the grub list and ubuntu and xp. More soon | 05:51 |
| Formode1 | scunizi, I installed it for UT3 and Photoshop/Lightroom/Illustrator | 05:51 |
| jrib | gbear14275: what label did you set? | 05:51 |
| Severian | almark, What I usually recomment is called chain loading. You setup each bootable partition with its own grub. The MBR has options for each OS you want to boot It is called chain loading because you will be going from the MBR grub to the partition's grub. | 05:51 |
| nexus23 | eseven73, do things load really slow in opera for you? | 05:52 |
| scunizi | Formode1, ah.. oh.. usually ut has a native installer for linux.. | 05:52 |
| gbear14275 | /media/disk-3 | 05:52 |
| Formode1 | scunizi UT3 has not got one yet and I've had the box over a year, so I gave up on waiting | 05:52 |
| Formode1 | scunizi, Thank you for your help. :) If I do not return it worked! :D | 05:52 |
| jrib | gbear14275: huh? no, choose a name for it like "gbears_usb" or something | 05:52 |
| almark | :Severian I assumed sorry for taking your word but. I didn't know you could chainload other os's besides windows how would I go about doing that? | 05:52 |
| scunizi | Formode1, no problem.. if it doesn't work play with the second number | 05:52 |
| kaiser10123 | im using 1280x768 whats next display up i have 15" laptop | 05:53 |

| gbear14275 | jrib: I think editing my fstab is going to be the only way but am not too keen on doing that | 05:54 |
| eseven73 | nexus23: some sites can be a bit slow, but mostly opera is very fast compared to firefox | 05:54 |
| jrib | gbear14275: whatever, the point is your label should not have a '/' in it | 05:54 |
| scunizi | kaiser10123, that might be close to the native resolution of your monitor. | 05:54 |
| nexus23 | i need to import my firefox passwords to opera | 05:54 |

| jrib | simon_: you're in #ubuntu | 05:55 |
| almark | :Severian thanks. But I do have another question about Ubuntu Studio when it installed to my /boot all the files that was cp to it, If I had the chain loading setup on each grub dir in different partitions would It automatically setup my menu.lst in Ubuntu like it should? | 05:55 |

| scunizi | kaiser10123, you can try.. System>Preferences>resolution and see what the options are that are available. | 05:56 |
| kaiser10123 | scunizi: options not there? | 05:56 |
| gbear14275 | jrib: still no luck with the name containing no /'s | 05:56 |

| Yossarianus | okies, a sec and i'll try | 06:20 |
| jrib | gbear14275: ok so under old user, check that gconf key | 06:20 |
| tytycoon | Yossarianus You used Compizconfig Settings manager? Cause you can save the profiles in it | 06:20 |
| Yossarianus | oh i didn't know | 06:21 |
| Yossarianus | ok :D | 06:21 |
| scunizi | zykes-, not sure but 10% reduction might be within limits for overhead.. there is also some reserved space for ... arg.. I can't remember | 06:21 |

| gnutron | so anyone know how to fix the sound in intrepid, its pulseaudio causing the problem | 06:23 |
| Smegzor | How do I stop the stupid auto network from creating new network entries? It keeps assigning a random IP even though I have set up a fixed IP on a custom network entry. | 06:23 |
| friendofyhwh | Severian...added the line "netbios name = ShoeBoxPC" in the "Global" section...right after the workgroup = JCARTES... and restarted the samba server...but still can't see the ShoeBoxPC on the ShoeBoxPC | 06:23 |
| Gnea | Smegzor: new network entries? | 06:23 |
| aves | gnutron: what exactly is the problem? | 06:23 |
| friendofyhwh | Severian...or for that matter....the machine name of Rachel...which is the XP box | 06:24 |
| aeolien | aves: That's it! Thanks! | 06:24 |
| yagga | almark: got my googlfu on and found that i needed to install flash plugin non=free | 06:24 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, Are you saying you want to see the Linux machine while browsing the network from the Linux machine? | 06:24 |
| aves | aeolien: i'm glad it stayed! =) | 06:24 |
| gnutron | my intrepid upgrade went fine but sound is dead, i did manage to get a sqwealing noise but thats all | 06:24 |
| friendofyhwh | yes...and the other one tooo | 06:24 |
| Smegzor | Gnea: yeah. In the Wired Networks panel I had 4 auto eth0 entries because they are auto created randomly. | 06:24 |
| gnutron | googling says pulseaudio in intrepid is totally whacked | 06:25 |
| aves | gnutron: the only thing I can suggest is to try killing pulseaudio, but other than that, I don't know | 06:25 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, did you restart samba after making the change to the smb.conf file. You just about always have to do that. | 06:25 |
| almark | "yagga thats all huh, what is the apt-get install (flash plugin non=free? | 06:25 |
| friendofyhwh | yes | 06:25 |
| Yossarianus | ok openarena seems to run ok but i can't even run quake 3 | 06:25 |

| Yossarianus | not so far :D | 06:30 |
| Yossarianus | interesting | 06:30 |
| Yossarianus | it never occured that it might be conflictive | 06:30 |
| xyyl | aves i don't know why but it happens to me too | 06:30 |
| scunizi | aves, skype right? it's skype's fault.. it uses oss for sound | 06:30 |
| aves | And by "hog", I mean if a program is running with audio, another program may not be allowed to have audio simultaneously | 06:30 |
| Yossarianus | so any way to keep the neat desktop effects and still be able to run games? | 06:31 |
| aves | scunizi: not skype, Stepmania 4 and Firefox refuse to share the sound =\ | 06:31 |

| Severian | aves, My experience with pulseaudio in Hardy was that it did not work too well for multiple apps. Intrepid seems better, but I have not tested that much. | 06:31 |
| aves | Yossarianus: It doesn't work well with renders | 06:31 |
| aves | Severian: Should I try uninstalling and changing default to ALSA? | 06:32 |

| Yossarianus | another thing i wanted to ask: every time i use the mouse scroll in Krusader it closes | 06:35 |
| almark | :Severian your pretty busy do you have a url I could read at this time? | 06:36 |

| almark | :Severian ok thanks just didn't want to put more on your shoulders | 06:37 |
| almark | np | 06:37 |

| Severian | almark, the grub manual is at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html | 06:39 |
| nnooplo | السم عليكم | 06:39 |
| darryl_ | aves, I spent two hours on thet phone with my PSP tech support folks, they're sending me a new modem. | 06:39 |
| almark | :Severian man those chainloader commands are really confusing don't you think and thanks for your help :) | 06:40 |
| aves | darryl_: good luck with that, because I don't really know what the problem is, sorry! | 06:40 |
| Severian | almark, What you need is something like root (hd0,5) followed by chainloader +1 | 06:40 |
| almark | :Severian and does that mean that all the linux distos have their own /boot? | 06:40 |
| Severian | almark, that is the two lines you want in your main menu.lst. | 06:40 |
| Severian | almark. It does not have to be that way, but I find it less confusing. I try to keep the filesystem separate, except for shared samba drives or somesuch. | 06:41 |
| darryl_ | aves, roger on that! Nobody else knows the problem either! Thanks for the reply. | 06:41 |
| jhambo | I can't for the life of me get kamefu to properly launch my emulators with arguments. Command lines that work in a terminal dont seem to work when I try to put them into kamefu. what's going on? | 06:42 |

| darryl_ | jhambo, what is the command line response? | 06:43 |
| gnutron | aves: i had to tweak some volume settings, bass/treble, but sound is nearly sweet again, total hardy to intrepid went perfect otherwise, thanks a million | 06:44 |
| Severian | friendofyhwh, I guess not. I just checked and my samba shares don't show up when I browse the network looking for the shares on that computer. I have never wanted to do such a thing, so I never noticed. | 06:44 |
| Severian | almark, Sure, go ahead. | 06:44 |

| almark | :Severian And my card is a Ati radeon 8500 | 06:46 |
| friendofyhwh | Severian...ok then, let's address how to see my XP machine "Rachel" on the ShoeBoxPC "intrepid" | 06:46 |
| Severian | almark, I can't say. I have wanted to try Blender, but never have. You may not have a stable version. But, I really don't know. | 06:46 |
| jhambo | darryl_: it works fine on the command line and launches my game. When I put that same command into the field in kamefu configuration, my game doesn't launch. | 06:46 |
| gnutron | aves: no flash issues either, flash sound and amarok or whatever play at the same time, you rock | 06:47 |

| friendofyhwh | no...the machine named "ShoeBoxPC" is the one running Ubuntu 8.10 or aka intrepid... | 06:47 |
| darryl_ | jhambo, ok, I am not familiar with kamfu, but my guess is kamfu doesn't have the same permission you do? | 06:47 |

| jhambo | darryl_: how do I check if "kamefu has the same permission i do"? | 06:54 |
| almark | scunizi thanks for the answer, I dont think so but glxgears work | 06:54 |
| almark | scunizi I don't have compiz atm I will later prob | 06:54 |
| darryl_ | jhambo, are you familiar with permissions, groups, etc...? | 06:54 |
| skylarS | sudo apt-get remove nginx doesn't work on a fresh install with basically nothing else | 06:55 |
| jhambo | darryl_ not an expert but I can do a chmod u+x on a script... | 06:55 |
| scunizi | almark, sorry I'm out of ideas. maybe a larger swap file? or low memory problem... processor old? | 06:55 |
| almark | scunizi It does this in Gentoo too so I know its my ati card or the fast that xfree is to new for my card, and the computer just freezes hard, I have to press the pwr button in just to hard boot the thing | 06:55 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | can anyone tell me how to run 2 separate instances of xchat at the same time with different settings? 2 separate "profiles" if you will? | 06:55 |
| skylarS | E:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code | 06:56 |
| skylarS | (1) | 06:56 |
| almark | scunizi its the DRI module that does it, If I disable it in Gentoo it works but slower and no problems, I have a P4 3ghz runnning ram 1gb | 06:56 |
| nick|away | rookeeeeeeeee: why you need that? and also search it at google. there is no need to reinvent the wheel | 06:56 |
| darryl_ | jhambo, ok, so you can use ls -al, compare the permissions between the two files, or, in a browser, right click the file. | 06:56 |
| skylarS | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/138333 | 06:56 |
| skylarS | basically this bug | 06:57 |
| scunizi | almark, not having used ati, I'm at a loss .. 1gb might be low depending on the graphic. | 06:57 |
| Severian | rookeeeeeeeee, txchat has a -d parameter that allows you to specify a config directory. That should do it. | 06:57 |
| jhambo | darryl_: sorry, which two files? | 06:57 |
| Severian | rookeeeeeeeee, that was xchat, not txchat. | 06:57 |
| skylarS | but I have hardy and the bug is not fixed | 06:58 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | Severian, could you elaborate please, that doesnt give me enough information | 06:58 |
| darryl_ | jhambo, the file name you enter in the terminal. | 06:58 |
| nnull | anyone help me with sound problem? flash movie sound works perfectly, divx/mp3/startup sound are all distorted and choppy, raising the PCM when playing any of these makes sounds like the speakers will pop | 06:58 |
| almark | scunizi we all know that what doesn't work in Linux will in windows, but it works fine in windows because the drivers for ati are in windows. But the ones that are in Ubuntu and Gentoo are either to new or something else I can't remidy, opengl works in linux Ubuntu so I don't know what to do | 06:59 |
| Severian | rookeeeeeeeee, start one from a terminal prompt with a command like xchat -d ~/.xchat2_other | 06:59 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | Severian, how do i run them both at the same time? | 06:59 |
| pb11 | Hey guys | 06:59 |
| almark | scunizi I'll try the blender channel maybe they can shed some light on this | 07:00 |
| scunizi | almark, have you checked ati for any newer drivers .. I seem to remember that they just recently released something new.. a driver or catalyst or something. | 07:00 |
| Severian | rookeeeeeeeee, well you run one and then you run the other. If you don't stop the first one, they'll both be running. | 07:00 |
| darryl_ | rookeeeeeeeee, enter the command twice, or open two terminals. | 07:00 |
| pb11 | I saw a guide to booting Fedora off of a usb key | 07:00 |
| aves | scunizi: isn't catalyst essentially just fglrx right now? | 07:00 |
| pb11 | Is it possible to do that with Ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| wow | so I installed openssh-server. I tried $ ssh localhost and got a connection refused error. what's wrong? | 07:01 |
| aves | scunizi: although I could be mistaken, it's been a couple of months since I've used ubuntu | 07:01 |
| scunizi | aves, or a control center for the drivers.. not sure.. I don't do ati | 07:01 |
| aves | pb11: yep! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 07:01 |

| jhambo | darryl_: the command I enter in the terminal is `aoss zsnes -v 4 -1 1 foogame.smc` | 07:02 |

| gnutron | wow: strangeness | 07:12 |
| aves | almark: if you have the "universe" repository enabled, use "sudo apt-get install envyng-core" | 07:12 |
| pb11 | It's been ~2 years since I've used ubuntu; is wine better at emulating windows now? | 07:12 |
| hateball | pb11❄ a _lot_ | 07:12 |
| aves | pb11: There's been significant improvements, as far as I know | 07:12 |
| wow | gnutron: I'll tinker. thanks for the help | 07:12 |
| aeolien | pb11: Definitely. | 07:12 |
| pb11 | oh thats good | 07:12 |
| aves | pb11: Since the last time I used ubuntu a few months ago, Office 2007 is now working | 07:12 |
| Severian | aeolien, sorry. I don't know I have seen that error whenI accidentally tried to run a program while connected with ssh, but I have not seen it otherwise. | 07:13 |
| pb11 | rebooting everytime I wanted to game was annoyign | 07:13 |
| pb11 | which is why I reverted to windows slowly | 07:13 |
| akio | anyone here have an MSI Wind? | 07:13 |
| pb11 | I kept figuring that I'd reboot back into it to play games in an hour | 07:13 |
| pb11 | >> | 07:13 |
| whuffor | I'm using EAC (Exact Audio Copy) Under wine for ripping my CDs without any problem now. Was a bit of an issue a year or so back | 07:13 |
| akio | (and got wireless working) | 07:13 |
| aeolien | Severian: It's okay. I somehow filled my hard drive, and I borked random bits of Ubuntu. | 07:13 |
| pb11 | Oh also, are there any good uTorrent replacements? | 07:14 |
| monchevique | did anybody play monopoly 3d online? | 07:14 |
| akio | transmission | 07:14 |
| gnutron | wow: sudo invoke.rc.d ssh maybe? jack sparrow knows that method, but ive done dozens of ssh servers no probs?! | 07:14 |
| akio | pb11 | 07:14 |
| whuffor | pb11: I'm using transmission. rtorrent is great if you don't want a gui. You can ssh in and tinker with it remotely | 07:15 |
| skylarS | why does apt-get remove nginx not work? | 07:15 |
| pb11 | :O | 07:15 |
| skylarS | what a bug | 07:15 |
| wow | I'm wondering if once upon a time I was messing with the config file. would reinstalling make it go back to default | 07:15 |
| pb11 | I'm a windows power user, so I won't be going gui-less for a while :( | 07:15 |
| pb11 | Although I am a big fan of minimalism | 07:15 |
| skylarS | wow, probably not | 07:15 |
| pb11 | I like xfce :O | 07:16 |
| whuffor | pb11: Then you have a lot of fun ahead. Tinkering with config files makes you think you're a hacker :P | 07:16 |
| akio | so there are no MSI Wind owners here? | 07:16 |
| dragon1 | can some one help me to install ftp tool,cuteftp on ubuntu 8.10....? | 07:17 |
| akio | dragon1: just use filezilla | 07:17 |
| everettz | Is there a "correct" or "recommended" way to remove pulseaudio and to make sure that applications are no longer trying to use it? | 07:17 |
| Severian | akio, maybe not. I'd like to try one. Do you have demo units available? | 07:17 |
| akio | lol | 07:17 |
| wow | purged config files and reinstalled. that did it. thanks gnutron and skylarS | 07:18 |
| akio | I have a demo right here, it's not doing so well... | 07:18 |
| aves | dragon1: cuteftp itself wasn't made for Ubuntu, so I agree with akio's idea of changing the program, but if you must use it, install it with Wine. | 07:18 |
| dragon1 | akio: is it inbuilt in ubuntu...? | 07:18 |
| AlexOnRuby | i will repeat my question , if anybody can answer meh: installed plugins for mp3 play, everytime i open an mp3 with Totem Movie Player the program just closes without no errors. what could be the problem | 07:18 |
| akio | yep | 07:18 |
| pb11 | does uTorrent work well with wine? | 07:19 |
| akio | pb11: just use transmission | 07:19 |
| Severian | AlexOnRuby, So, what are the errors? | 07:19 |
| akio | it even has a web interface | 07:19 |
| Severian | AlexOnRuby, without no errors would be with errors, so it is a fair question. | 07:20 |
| akio | and encryption | 07:20 |
| pb11 | k | 07:20 |
| aves | dragon1: If you aren't afraid of non-GUI FTP, type "ftp" in Terminal. | 07:20 |
| judgen | how do i change the colours of the cli? | 07:20 |
| akio | don't let the simplicity fool you | 07:20 |
| AlexOnRuby | severian : the error would be that my mp3s don't play :D | 07:21 |
| Severian | judgen, You can edit your .bashrc file to do that. | 07:21 |
| dragon1 | aves:thanks I installed filezilla.... | 07:21 |
| pb11 | So guys, I have a general question | 07:21 |
| judgen | Severian: oh yeah thats it | 07:21 |
| pb11 | Python vs Ruby, what are your thoughts? | 07:21 |
| skylarS | wow, so now try that with nginx | 07:21 |
| pb11 | I want to learn an open-source language | 07:21 |
| AlexOnRuby | ruby all the way pb11 | 07:21 |
| pb11 | Why? | 07:21 |
| skylarS | pb11, python of course | 07:22 |
| pb11 | =\ | 07:22 |
| * pb11 first time programmer | 07:22 | |
| akio | python +1 | 07:22 |
| mirec29_ | dragon: try filezila from http://www.getdeb.net/ | 07:22 |
| Severian | AlexOnRuby, It could several things. Maybe the mp3 files are bad. You might not have the right totem plugin. Have you tried vlc on the mp3 files? | 07:22 |
| gnutron | judgen: edit default profile in terminal menu | 07:22 |
| aves | mirec29_: wouldn't sudo apt-get be faster? =P | 07:22 |
| pb11 | I have no prior coding skills to form an opinion on either of the two | 07:22 |
| Severian | python +1 | 07:22 |
| pb11 | other than they both seem useful | 07:22 |
| pb11 | I've been leaning to python | 07:23 |
| pb11 | why is ruby good? | 07:23 |
| skylarS | anyone know how to more forcefully remove a package.. like quit giving me this error message and get this package the hell out of my face | 07:23 |
| mirec29_ | aves: maybe, not sure | 07:23 |
| AlexOnRuby | pb11: ruby is more development friendly^^ | 07:23 |
| aves | skylarS: try debfoster? | 07:23 |
| Severian | pb11, ruby has good syntax. But, the developers have not been as good at extending it, IMHO. | 07:23 |
| gnutron | judgen: .bashrc just gives you font colors, the edit/profile you can do white on black, fonts etc. | 07:24 |
| joeb3_ | skylarS, apt-get purge package | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | skylarS: sudo dpkg -r --force-all <name> | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | skylarS: man dpkg will help | 07:24 |
| almark1 | why did Envy NG install fglrx-amdcccle: Installed fglrx-amdcccle I have a p4 not an amd? | 07:24 |
| AlexOnRuby | pb11: just try to do some basic stuff in both langauges and see witch one you like better maybe | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | skylarS: try to use: sudo apt-get --purge remove <package> first though as its more graceful | 07:24 |
| Severian | pb11, I speak as someone active in a local Python group, so I may not be completely unbiased. But, it is something we alll talk about. | 07:25 |
| skylarS | ActionParsnip, no luck, nginx bug doesn't allow gracefully removal | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | skylarS: nice | 07:25 |
| * gnutron rocks intrepidly | 07:26 | |
| aves | almark1: amdcccle is the Catalyst Control Centre | 07:26 |
| aves | almark1: it has nothing to do with the processor, don't worry! | 07:26 |
| pb11 | Ruby is more friendly than Python? | 07:27 |
| pb11 | I thought python was supposed to be very intuitive | 07:27 |
| helge_ | ? | 07:27 |
| almark1 | man wuoo good thanks | 07:27 |
| almark1 | amd = ati I forgot lol | 07:27 |
| skylarS | pb11 both are better than eachother but I have only used python 2bhonest | 07:27 |
| aves | pb11: I find python's tab-based syntax a bit counter-intuitive, and kind of confusing | 07:28 |
| pb11 | pb11 both are better than eachother | 07:28 |
| pb11 | is that some buddhist philosophy there >> | 07:28 |
| Severian | pb11, At one time, Ruby seemed to be more consistently object oriented. I think Python is friendlier, but I am not sure what friendly means here. | 07:28 |
| skylarS | correct | 07:28 |
| aves | almark1: yeah, it does get confusing sometimes =) | 07:28 |
| pb11 | I was told to not go for something too OO biased for my first language | 07:28 |
| j3naL | hi...how to de-encrypted | 07:28 |
| j3naL | password? | 07:28 |
| skylarS | go ask a really dumb question in both irc channels and see which group of developers you hate more :P | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | pb11 | 07:29 |
| ubottu | pb11: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:29 |
| almark1 | gotta go thanks all | 07:29 |
| AlexOnRuby | skylarS: rubyst obviously, they hardly answer any question ^^ | 07:29 |
| whuffor | I think that in learning a new language you tend to go for the language with the best tutorials and documentation overall, regardless of how difficult the language really is | 07:29 |
| AlexOnRuby | skylarS: they are to busy developing :] | 07:30 |
| gnutron | developing pulseaudio for moobuntu? | 07:30 |

| skylarS | b/c nginx won't uninstall | 07:31 |
| potwak | hello all | 07:31 |
| aves | skylarS: try installing debfoster | 07:31 |
| Severian | Python will probably have a better future. Guido seems to have a better grasp on where he is headed. Mats has made public statements about being overwhelmed by the project. | 07:31 |
| aves | skylarS: and using that to remove the packages | 07:31 |
| skylarS | aves oh yeah, I just pulled that down | 07:31 |
| potwak | is there a free training certification for ubuntu? | 07:31 |
| Severian | But, if you have a local users group for either, I would start there. Learn one and you can move to the other. | 07:32 |
| aves | skylarS: have you tried it? =P | 07:32 |
| whuffor | I'd like to learn one of those languages too. I used to work with Perl about 10 years ago, but haven't coded anything since | 07:34 |
| nnull | guys ive found the problem for my sound problem ive had all day, when i mplayer a mp3 the AO: is [pulse] instead of [alsa], feeding it commands to use alsa makes it work! so yea can i jsut get rid of pulse without any problems? ifso how pls? | 07:34 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:35 |

| aves | nnull: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 07:35 |
| aves | skylarS: if you have installed debfoster, just type "sudo debfoster" in Terminal, and follow from there. | 07:36 |
| gnutron | nnull: aves url works, it takes some extra switch tweaking in volume controls however, and lower tones to prevent clipping | 07:37 |

| gbear14275 | barrientos: try using either add/remove or synaptic to install the package | 08:02 |
| gnutron | kern: open the keyring and tell it to remember the pass, i did it with evolution and no more prompts. it might work. | 08:03 |

| jim_p | barrientos, apt is the package management tool of ubuntu. the alfa and the omega of what is installed and uninstalled | 08:06 |
| jim_p | vladtsepesh1984, i think OOo3 is in synaptic. install it from there~ | 08:06 |
| barrientos | how do i use it to install nfts 3g? | 08:06 |

| gbear14275 | gnutron: I'll walk barrientos through it in pm if you like | 08:09 |
| gnutron | barrientos: in a terminal or in synaptic search | 08:09 |
| kern | pb11 im sure theres an easier way, however what i did was downloaded gparted live cd.. and i boot that up anytime i want to format something | 08:10 |

| skylarS | almark1, for removing nginx? | 08:12 |
| gnutron | barrientos: install ntfs-config too. synaptic is a GUI package manager in system/administration | 08:12 |
| almark1 | SkylarS yes | 08:12 |
| skylarS | almark1, you can basically just put exit 0 after the shebang in the init script | 08:12 |

| pb11 | okay | 08:17 |
| kern | pb11 u can resize it, but if the drive is full as you say you can split it in half without losing your data | 08:17 |
| wsgordon | jim_p__ can I manually edit the ubuntu install or boot as admin and fix it | 08:17 |
| reenignEesreveR | has anyone installed svn 1.5 on ubuntu 8.04? | 08:17 |
| jim_p__ | wsgordon, depends on what you want to edit | 08:17 |
| kern | pb11 if you have free space then u can make a resized partition | 08:17 |
| === taco is now known as Gumby | ||
| pb11 | Well | 08:18 |
| pb11 | I have enough space to make a partition | 08:18 |
| pb11 | and install ubuntu | 08:18 |
| anr78 | gnutron: jim_p__ : it isn't here either, but vpnc claims that it has to be for it to work.. | 08:18 |
| pb11 | but I'd like to reallocate some more space to it later | 08:18 |
| wsgordon | jim_p__ i need to edit the password file in order to boot the hard drive install, all i have access to is a old knoppix live cd though | 08:18 |
| pb11 | even though windows partition will be fat32 and ubuntu wont | 08:18 |
| pb11 | will that work? | 08:18 |
| jim_p__ | wsgordon, chroot it then! | 08:19 |
| === jim_p__ is now known as jim_p | ||
| gnutron | /bin/sh: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied | 08:19 |
| gnutron | sorry | 08:20 |
| wsgordon | jim_p__ explain a bit, please. once i boot the installed ubuntu system, then how do i get root access to boot | 08:20 |
| kern | pb11 sure u can always change the size of ur partitions, provided you have enough space on ur hdd | 08:20 |
| kern | pb11 u may have to free up some space, back up files onto another hdd or cd roms | 08:20 |
| pb11 | so say | 08:21 |
| jim_p | wsgordon, well you will have to use chroot to "alter" the existing ubuntu installation and change the password | 08:21 |
| gnutron | ../etc/resolv.conf is an ASCII text file, no symlink whatsoever | 08:21 |
| pb11 | my windows is on c:/ right now | 08:21 |
| pb11 | and it has, like, 5 gigs of space | 08:21 |
| pb11 | so I partition that and install ubuntu | 08:21 |
| pb11 | if I clear room on c:/ later | 08:21 |
| ^hellfire^ | siema | 08:21 |
| wsgordon | from the installed ubuntu or the live cd ? | 08:21 |
| pb11 | can I add that to the newly made ubuntu after the fact of install | 08:21 |
| pb11 | fresh install of ubuntu | 08:22 |
| pb11 | I got rid of the old one | 08:22 |
| === ^hellfire^ is now known as hellfire | ||
| pb11 | I stopped using for about a year =\ | 08:22 |
| jim_p | gnutron, my /etc/resolv.conf is a text file! | 08:22 |
| alfred_ | you mean add the free space from the C:\ partition to the ubuntu partition? | 08:22 |
| kern | pb11 so you only have 5 gigs and u want to split that in half for windows and ubuntu? | 08:22 |
| jim_p | wsgordon, you put the live cd in, let it boot, open a terminal, chroot to the ubuntu installation, change password and you are done | 08:23 |
| jim_p | !chroot | 08:23 |
| ubottu | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 08:23 |
| gnutron | jim_p: right, so is a symlink technically, isnt it? but resolv.conf is just a plain old .conf file | 08:23 |
| pb11 | not actually in half | 08:23 |
| pb11 | bad wording | 08:23 |
| pb11 | I want to use the 5 gigs thats free | 08:23 |
| kern | oh | 08:24 |
| pb11 | and split that off | 08:24 |
| jim_p | gnutron, no its a text file as in plain text. no symlink! | 08:24 |
| wsgordon | guide me or a url link please. | 08:24 |
| pb11 | which is no problem | 08:24 |
| pb11 | its reallocating space later | 08:24 |
| pb11 | which I'm wondering about | 08:24 |
| jim_p | wsgordon, ok give me a sec | 08:24 |
| gnutron | jim_p: youre right, there is a way to get into the box and change the pass | 08:24 |
| pb11 | if its not possible I'll have to wait until I clear up more room first | 08:24 |
| alfred_ | reallocating space is possible with gnome partition editor, but there's a chance of failure | 08:24 |
| pb11 | =\ | 08:24 |
| pb11 | Have you tried it before? | 08:24 |
| alfred_ | yes I have | 08:24 |
| pb11 | did it work/ | 08:25 |
| alfred_ | I've done it 3 or 4 times and it worked every time for me | 08:25 |
| wsgordon | jim_p__ where is the user name and password stored ? | 08:25 |
| skylarS | pb11, it's worked 9/10 or better for me | 08:25 |
| jim_p | wsgordon, dunno | 08:25 |
| pb11 | nice | 08:25 |
| gnutron | jim_p: right, i agreed all along. not a symlink. i dunno i need sleep | 08:25 |
| skylarS | pb11, did it ever fail? maybe not | 08:25 |
| wsgordon | It sucks ubuntu hates the dell optiplex. | 08:25 |
| pb11 | would you recommend fragmenting my windows drive before reallocating some of the free space to ubuntu to improve the chances of success? | 08:25 |
| skylarS | wsgordon, vice versa | 08:25 |
| pb11 | defragmenting | 08:25 |
| pb11 | >> | 08:25 |

| pb11 | yeah | 08:26 |
| alfred_ | yeah | 08:26 |
| kern | do it | 08:26 |
| wsgordon | i just know i will use ubuntu before I install vista... ;) | 08:26 |
| alfred_ | back up important stuff, but I think it'll go smoothly | 08:26 |
| pb11 | ok | 08:26 |
| gnutron | wsgordon: its encrypted in /etc/shadow i think | 08:26 |
| pb11 | Anybody here try Ubuntu Studio? | 08:26 |
| kern | i have so much hdd space that i never really had to worry about that i guess | 08:27 |
| Severian | wsgordon, I have Ubuntu installed on a bunch of Dell Optiplexes. I have done it since Ubuntu first came out. Dell uses such generic hardware that it works well. | 08:27 |
| skylarS | pb11, yeah, kind of sucks imho, sounds like a good idea though | 08:27 |
| alfred_ | i've installed the studio kernel on top of a generic one | 08:27 |
| gnutron | wsgordon: install vista first to avoid grub stuff | 08:27 |
| alfred_ | the main difference with ubuntu studio is that it includes lots of media editing apps, that's about it. | 08:28 |
| wsgordon | had vista installed, but I prefer to run a pure linux system, no duel boot | 08:28 |
| LeonSquall | is it possible to install a network printer from windows to ubuntu that is not supported inder ubuntu? | 08:28 |

| LeonSquall | is it possible to install a network printer from windows to ubuntu that is not supported under ubuntu? | 08:28 |
| LeonSquall | cant find a site that explains if that is possible | 08:28 |

| skylarS | that is pretty cool but this laptop is not beefy enough | 08:30 |
| pb11 | What file system is better? | 08:30 |

| pb11 | having a non-NTFS file system won't affect my ability to write to my windows partition will it? | 08:31 |
| skylarS | kern depends on the winduhs but over a gig for XP I would suppose | 08:31 |
| gnutron | kern: i have intrepid on a pentium 1.7 mhz 384 mb ram, runs great | 08:31 |

| PunyHuman | alfred_: yes it is | 08:33 |
| jason_ | hi all | 08:33 |
| jim_p | wsgordon, i cant find a proper chroot tutorial! | 08:34 |

| jason_ | anyone have problems with flashing in opengl programs? | 08:36 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: it is not a WPA problem, security makes no difference. when i left click on networkmanager, everything is greyed out. eth0 and the wireless are both greyed out. when i right click, "enable networking" is ticked and enabled, but "enable wireless" is greyed out and not ticked | 08:36 |
| skylarS | kern, i had to juggle a bunch of howto's but it only took me about an hour or so | 08:37 |

| alfred_ | PunyHuman, could a recent update have affected the driver in any way? | 08:37 |
| kern | im sure it will take me longer haha | 08:37 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: lsusb showsthe adapter, lsmod shows that the modules are loaded, dbus detects the hardware. it is some kind of networkmanager problem from what i can see | 08:37 |
| alfred_ | well that's very strange | 08:37 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: i have not done in any updates in about 2 weeks, pc has been rebooted in between. | 08:38 |
| paranoid_ndroid | I'd like to try to get the source from CVS | 08:38 |

| adv_ | what does it mean for apt not able to get verification? | 08:39 |
| alfred_ | PunyHuman, all I can say is that trying wicd sounds like a good idea. Reinstalling network manager is a good idea, too | 08:39 |

| jim_p | jamil, yea. its a firefox addon | 08:41 |
| alfred_ | PunyHuman, wicd is supposed to work a lot better for usb wireless devices. I would try that, and if it doesn't work, then it's a USB problem | 08:41 |
| gnutron | TheoPast: windows is ok if you spend thousands of dollars on software, but it sucks at networking. | 08:41 |
| jim_p | jamil, assuming that crashes are 99% flash faults | 08:41 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: I have no way of getting wicd on to the pc... it is wireless only, and none of my usb thumb drives are being detected | 08:41 |
| paranoid_ndroid | how do I set an environment variable? | 08:42 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: this seems to me more like a USB problem in general rather than a wireless issue | 08:42 |
| jamil | jim_p: should i install flashblock ? | 08:42 |
| alfred_ | PunyHuman, I had the issue with having only a wireless card, and no others. I suppose you're right, it is a usb problem.. | 08:42 |
| jim_p | PunyHuman, do you have internet connection on that pc? and DO NOT just download the .deb and install manually, use the repo!!! | 08:42 |
| adv_ | what does it mean for apt not able to get verification for some pkgs? | 08:42 |
| jim_p | jamil, yea | 08:42 |
| === _ is now known as Guest51489 | ||
| zeno | got this error in tty1 (wasnt logged in) right before hard freeze: CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error: -112 | 08:43 |
| jim_p | adv_, some authentication key for some repo is missing | 08:43 |
| PunyHuman | jim_p: no, it is wireless only. the router is 300m away | 08:43 |
| adv_ | jim_p: is it dangerous? | 08:43 |
| alfred_ | PunyHuman, you could try booting into a LiveCD and testing wireless/USB functionality there | 08:43 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: who can help me with my usb problem them | 08:43 |
| jim_p | PunyHuman, do you have internet connextion now? | 08:43 |
| gnutron | paranoid_ndroid: /etc/environment or /etc/profile i think. ive used both, those are global settins be aware | 08:43 |
| Acedip | jamil: gettting the updates might help overcome it, assuming u installed a downloaded version of intrepid from torrents.. | 08:43 |
| adv_ | jim_p: is it often ? | 08:43 |
| TheoPast | hay alfred saigh whuts up to bruce four me | 08:43 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: It works fine. it is something that I have done to my system which is causing it not to work | 08:43 |
| jim_p | adv_, depends on the repo, and no its not often | 08:43 |
| PunyHuman | alfred_: livecd works fine but does not help me solve the probem | 08:43 |
| PunyHuman | jim_p: yes, obviously | 08:44 |
| jamil | Acedip: I has feisty which i upgraded to intrepid directly | 08:44 |
| wsgordon | gnutron thanks ill give it a try | 08:44 |
| jim_p | PunyHuman, well use the wicd repo to install it! | 08:44 |
| PunyHuman | jim_p: I am using a different PC | 08:44 |
| jim_p | lol | 08:44 |
| jamil | Acedip: but firefox was running fine till yesterday | 08:44 |
| paranoid_ndroid | gnutron, what is the command? export? | 08:44 |
| alfred_ | PunyHuman: I don't know anything about usb nonfunction | 08:44 |
| Acedip | jamil: ohh.. | 08:44 |
| jim_p | jamil, feisty > intrepid at once? or feisty > hardy > intrepid ?? | 08:45 |
| PunyHuman | does anyone know why usb is just simply not working??? dbus sees the hardware but none of it will do anything... storage devices, wireless adapters. surely someone has had this happen to them before! | 08:45 |
| gnutron | adv_: it means you dont have the pgp key installed | 08:45 |
| jamil | jim_p: at once | 08:45 |
| jim_p | PunyHuman, lsusb | 08:45 |
| jim_p | jamil, no wonder why. you jumped from ff2 to ff3 | 08:45 |
| PunyHuman | jim_p: it shows all of the devices.... | 08:45 |
| gnutron | paranoid_ndroid: i think its 'set' then 'export | 08:46 |
| PunyHuman | jim_p: /dev/sdb1 is normally my usb stick. If I try to mount, it says special device does not exist. even though it shows up in lsusb | 08:46 |
| jim_p | PunyHuman, does dmesg say anything when you plug sth in? | 08:46 |
| jamil | jim_p: infact this page crashes firefox: http://blendernewbies.blogspot.com/search/label/Topology | 08:46 |
| paranoid_ndroid | gnutron, do you have an example? | 08:46 |
| TheoPast | "(03:43:08 AM) alfred_: don't tell anybody, but i really like the new vista program, but if u still wanna meet me for drinks id really like that..." wtf? | 08:46 |
| PunyHuman | jim_p: yes, it shows that it has detected everything | 08:46 |
| adv_ | gnutron: how can i install it? | 08:46 |
| paranoid_ndroid | reboot | 08:47 |
| jamil | jim_p: firefox is still crashing(after installing flashblock) | 08:47 |
| gnutron | paranoid_ndroid: havent done that for quite awhile, i'll take a look though | 08:47 |
| jim_p | jamil, it doesnt for me! | 08:47 |
| jim_p | jamil, ff does crash for me on some sites like www.insomnia.gr/forum | 08:47 |
| Acedip | jamil: got damnit..what was that page..even mine's gone | 08:48 |
| maco | jim_p: i think the proper question wouldve been feisty->gutsy->hardy->intrepid | 08:48 |
| jamil | Acedip: no that site is trusted one | 08:48 |
| jim_p | maco, i missed an alphabet letter | 08:48 |
| gnutron | adv_: the repo site should show how to wget the key and import it using tee to install it in root's keyring | 08:48 |
| jim_p | jamil, it does not crash at the main page though | 08:48 |
| PunyHuman | ? | 08:48 |
| jamil | jim_p: all other pages are opening normally | 08:49 |
| adv_ | gnutron: it's the same repo i always use | 08:49 |
| jim_p | jamil, try cleaning the cache | 08:49 |
| jim_p | jamil, and as last resort, use opera for that site | 08:50 |
| gnutron | adv_: do you get a warning? | 08:50 |
| Acedip | just out of curiosity guys..how many websites are there on the internet | 08:50 |
| paranoid_ndroid | it worked just with export | 08:50 |
| paranoid_ndroid | thanks gnutron | 08:50 |
| Acedip | not the webpages though.. | 08:50 |
| alfred_ | I think there's over 100 million websites | 08:50 |
| gnutron | paranoid_ndroid: ok, heres a cmd line or two actually- NNTPSERVER='netnews.mchsi.com' | 08:51 |
| bitmous1 | anybody know where swiftfox keeps it's configuration files for each user? | 08:51 |
| gnutron | export NNTPSERVER | 08:51 |
| Eredor | hi, i just installed ubuntu on my hp pavilion dv 9000, i've enabled the restricted drivers by nvidia but still cannot increase my screen resolution | 08:51 |
| alfred_ | Acedip: 108 million websites, nearly 30 billion web pages. | 08:51 |
| adv_ | gnutron: not the other times | 08:51 |
| Eredor | also, i can't remember any terminal commands from the short period i used it about a year ago >_< | 08:52 |
| Acedip | alfred_: url ? | 08:52 |
| jim_p | bitmous1, in ~/.swiftfox maybe? | 08:52 |
| jamil | jim_p: from where can i get opera ? | 08:52 |
| Eredor | can anyone help me please? | 08:53 |
| gnutron | adv_: regular ubuntu repo's i dont recall needing to install the signing key. | 08:53 |
| bitmous1 | jim_p: isn't there strangely enough, on either of my accoutns | 08:53 |
| === Teiseii is now known as Teisei | ||
| jim_p | jamil, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and add the opera repo. then use synaptic for the rest | 08:53 |
| vertx | Hi all, I have this problem while logging into my ubuntu box. I'm sure the password I entered is correct, yet the box just returned me to its login prompt. What could be the problem? | 08:53 |
| gnutron | adv_: in synaptic you'll see a few listed | 08:53 |
| Mud|afk | hello | 08:53 |
| jim_p | vertx, select a session | 08:53 |
| Acedip | but alfred_: that figure is as of feb 2007..its 22 now months after that | 08:54 |
| Mud|afk | can somone explain how to put permission to the subfolders also? | 08:54 |
| vertx | jim_p: Do you mean the session wasn't automatically selected? | 08:54 |
| Mud|afk | with chmod it does only main folder | 08:54 |
| jim_p | Mud|afk, chown -R | 08:54 |
| jim_p | or chmod -R | 08:54 |
| Mud|afk | ty :) | 08:54 |
| Mud|afk | thanx \o/ | 08:55 |
| Spark | it seems that ibex's nvidia support now ignores vsync | 08:55 |
| jim_p | not sure if its R or r Mud|afk | 08:55 |
| Mud|afk | I think r | 08:55 |
| Spark | __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK now has no effect | 08:55 |
| gnutron | Mud|afk: chmod -R 755 dir/ for example | 08:55 |
| Spark | the glx support doesn't do anything | 08:55 |
| theeclipse | Hello guys, How can I change my external drive filesystem without losing my data? | 08:55 |
| Spark | and nvidia-settings doesn't work either | 08:55 |
| Mud|afk | ok gnutron :> | 08:55 |
| Mud|afk | second question | 08:55 |
| Mud|afk | I have host allow in my samba share | 08:55 |
| jamil | Is chrome available for ubuntu ? | 08:55 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, you move the data to a safe place and format it to the new filesystem. other methods have non guaranteed results | 08:56 |
| Mud|afk | but..I want a short ip range exampe 10.35.39.20- 10.35.39.40 in there | 08:56 |
| Mud|afk | how I do that? | 08:56 |
| jim_p | jamil, no. unless you want to run it in wine | 08:56 |
| finiras | is there a command that i can run to see if this server can handle SATA hdds | 08:56 |
| Mud|afk | 10.35.39.20-40 isnt working? | 08:56 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: not even gparted ? | 08:56 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, nope | 08:56 |
| gnutron | Mud|afk: i know nothing about samba configs, sorry. | 08:56 |
| Mud|afk | too bad :( | 08:57 |
| jim_p | finiras, does it have sata ports? and sata drives? | 08:57 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: I have lotof problems to make it writable under Debian because it is VFAT, then I thought maybe it is better I change its filesystem, any idea? | 08:57 |
| gnutron | Mud|afk: 10.35.39.0/24 maybe i dunno | 08:57 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, well vfat is as is writable and readable by any os! | 08:58 |
| Mud|afk | gnutron: I want a short list only, only servers must access the share | 08:58 |
| bitmous1 | anybody know where swiftfox keeps it's bookmarks etc for each user? | 08:58 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, where does debian fail? | 08:58 |
| Mud|afk | 20-40 is the server ip range | 08:58 |
| Mud|afk | servers* | 08:58 |
| jim_p | bitmous1, are they different than ff bookmarks? | 08:58 |
| gnutron | Mud|afk: no samba experience for me. | 08:59 |
| Mud|afk | gnutron too bad :( I find nothing with google :o >.< | 08:59 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: It mounts it but the problem is that non-root users do not have permission of write, and plus I can not change its file permissions even by root | 08:59 |
| finiras | jim_p it doesnt have SATA drives, but the thing is, i have this server that is far from me at the mo and i was gonna buy a new hard drive for this, so i need to know if there are any SATA ports. I have SSH access | 08:59 |
| bitmous1 | jim_p: I dunno but I do know when I open it up as root and when I open it up as my user I get two completely different sets of bookmarks etc | 08:59 |
| fy | hiiiialllllll | 08:59 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, can you use an fstab entry for that? | 08:59 |
| jim_p | hey one at a time! | 08:59 |
| gnutron | Mud|afk: samba.org | 08:59 |
| finiras | jim_p i do remember somebody telling me some time ago that it does support SATA but i dont want to risk buying it for nothing | 09:00 |
| jim_p | finiras, lshw will tell | 09:00 |
| jim_p | i think | 09:00 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: this is my entry for the drive : users,iocharset=utf8,exec,rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=002,uhelper=hal,utf8,shortname=winnt,uid=1000,gid=1000 | 09:00 |
| finiras | thx, ill try | 09:00 |
| MrSoundless | hi all I have a rm question | 09:00 |
| fy | gnutron hi | 09:00 |
| MrSoundless | I got a folder with LOTS of files and if I try to remove all with rm *.* it tells me the list is too long | 09:00 |
| MrSoundless | any idea how else I can remove all files | 09:00 |
| fy | > ompaul hiiiiiii | 09:00 |
| jim_p | bitmous1, thats correct. root user and your user are different accounts | 09:00 |
| danaka | holy shit... how many files do you have in that folder | 09:01 |
| MrSoundless | lots of thousands of files | 09:01 |
| ompaul | fy, h | 09:01 |
| bitmous1 | jim_p: right, so I figure the config files, bookmarks etc would be in the home directories of each user, but so far i can't find em | 09:01 |
| fy | > ompaul hiiiiiiiiiiiii | 09:01 |
| fy | how are you? | 09:01 |
| fy | are you a man? | 09:01 |
| MrSoundless | any idea how I can get rid of those? :P | 09:01 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: heres my fstab entry- /dev/sdb1 /media/LOCAL_DISK vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0 | 09:02 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: Thanks man I will try it now | 09:02 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, have you tried setting 2 parameters for this in fstab? defaults,iocharset=utf8 | 09:02 |
| fy | nirina hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 09:02 |
| Zealot12 | Good morning | 09:02 |
| MrSoundless | gm | 09:02 |
| fy | how are you? | 09:02 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: it is the exact line that I copied from my fstab | 09:03 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: you may need to chmod and chown manually at first | 09:03 |
| Zealot12 | Im doing okay. I am having some xconfig issues...serious ones it seems lol | 09:03 |
| vertx | will somebody kick the troll | 09:03 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: I chown the mount point first but after mount it changes it to root | 09:03 |
| jim_p | theeclipse, ok. comment it out and try with these 2 options i gave you | 09:03 |
| krish | how can i implement firewall on my webserver? I am using ubuntu 8.04 server edition with LAMP. | 09:04 |
| adv_ | what pkg do i need for gtk+-2.0? | 09:04 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: setuid to your uid | 09:04 |
| paranoid_ndroid | after all the software used svn | 09:04 |
| Zealot12 | Whenever I try to use the sudo /etc/X11/xorg/conf to change my driver settings, it says "ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'" Then if I type nvidia-xconfig, it says "Using X configuration file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf WARNING: The CorePointer device was not specified explicitly in the layout; using the first CorePointer in the config input list" I dont know whats going on, but I even think my comp is running slower. Any ideas | 09:04 |
| paranoid_ndroid | it seems a lot simpler... | 09:04 |
| fasta | Will anything bad happen if I launch 1000 tar processes in about a second? I.e. will I get some kind of error message? | 09:04 |
| vertx | krish: use shorewall or firestarte, unless you're proficient with iptables | 09:05 |
| ocRob | fasta: try it | 09:05 |
| hc | fasta, are you trying to see what happens if you launch a fork bomb? | 09:05 |
| fasta | hc: no | 09:05 |
| visof | hi | 09:05 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: then sudo chown you:root /media/disk | 09:05 |
| whuffor | MrSoundless: You could try something like this to remove all files from the current directory: find . -name '*' -exec rm {} \; | 09:05 |
| jim_p | has anyone tried fwbuilder? i think is a bit more user friendly than firestarter | 09:06 |
| gnutron | Zealot12: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:06 |
| vertx | jim_p: I use shorewall myself | 09:06 |
| finiras | jim_p any idea how i can see the output of lshw when its too long for the screen of putty to hold | 09:06 |
| gnutron | Zealot12: or editor of choice | 09:07 |
| userbn | yes | 09:07 |
| jim_p | finiras, dump it on a file like so lshw > output.txt | 09:07 |
| jim_p | finiras, or use more to view it page after page lshw | more | 09:07 |
| finiras | thx jim_p, does that stuff work with most output commands? | 09:07 |
| AdvoWork | how can i kill a process if I have it's id? | 09:08 |
| jim_p | finiras, yea | 09:08 |
| jim_p | AdvoWork, killall id | 09:08 |
| jim_p | i think | 09:08 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: It doesnt work | 09:08 |
| gnutron | finiras: lshw > some-filename then open the file in an editot | 09:08 |
| MrSoundless | whuffor: ty, I found it, I just did rm -rf dirname and removed the complete dir :P | 09:08 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: I can not chwon it even by root !! | 09:08 |
| Mud|afk | gnutron: I will join the samba channel for that channel ;) | 09:08 |
| Mud|afk | for that question* | 09:08 |
| paranoid_ndroid | is there anyway to paste from firefox to a terminal? | 09:09 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: it must be mounted first | 09:09 |
| paranoid_ndroid | directly | 09:09 |
| acasla | anyone know why an 8.10 livecd boots on my macbook, but not my acer? | 09:09 |
| whuffor | MrSoundless: Glad you solved it | 09:09 |
| MrSoundless | ty for the answer though :) | 09:09 |
| whuffor | As a rule, the find command is very useful | 09:09 |
| whuffor | Well worth learning | 09:09 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: Yes I know, # chown behdad:root external/ | 09:09 |
| theeclipse | chown: changing ownership of `external/': Operation not permitted | 09:09 |
| jim_p | acasla, is the acer laptop on ati? | 09:09 |
| mrglinux | hi I have ubuntu 8.04 on my server but I have problem with install some package that I need you can see here http://phpfi.com/387271 | 09:10 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: thats 'chown' btw | 09:10 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: lol, man it was a typo | 09:10 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: an external drive eh? | 09:10 |
| acasla | jim_p, the acer has an nvidia geforce 8600m | 09:11 |
| visof | hello , something strange occurred in the above bar in the screen in gnome | 09:11 |
| mrglinux | I install each one but I have problem also | 09:11 |
| visof | i was able to put a lot of the running application on this bar | 09:11 |
| AdvoWork | ive got: rsync 2493 root cwd unknown /home/ZimbraBackups (stat: No such device or address) ive done: kill 2493 and its still there?? | 09:11 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: yes | 09:11 |
| visof | like pidgin, xchat | 09:11 |
| visof | in the right direction | 09:11 |
| mrglinux | any soultion ? | 09:11 |
| visof | now i can't do this i don't know what is the problem ? | 09:11 |
| visof | is there anyone understanding me ? | 09:12 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: i dunno | 09:12 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: Thanks man. | 09:12 |
| calliope | mmmmm gee it feels like I dont even have the right words for my question.. Where/How do I update the list of package sources so that the Update Manger can find the unfound deb files | 09:12 |
| theeclipse | jim_p: Thank you. | 09:12 |
| finiras | err whats that command line text editor called again | 09:12 |
| calliope | ok so I found a software sources in the add/rem apps -> then preferenc | 09:12 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: it is mounted right? | 09:12 |
| calliope | so now where do I find proper source address? | 09:13 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: type 'mount' | 09:13 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: Yes I can mount it, the problem is that other users can not write on it, even by root I can not change its ownership and persmission | 09:13 |
| mrglinux | apt-get install libberkeleydb-perl == The following packages have unmet dependencies: libberkeleydb-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.8.8 E: Broken packages :-( | 09:13 |
| mrglinux | but perlapi-5.8.8 is installed | 09:13 |
| Zealot12 | gnutron: Thanks so much man! So I can now go in and rectify the situation...it was using the wrong driver. The "nvidia" driver, I have an old intel graphics chip so that was *not* gonna fly lol | 09:14 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: hrm, chmod 755 it first maybe | 09:14 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: It is 755 by default | 09:15 |
| finiras | can anybody name a good command line text editor | 09:15 |
| theeclipse | finiras: VIM | 09:15 |
| whuffor | ed or ex had been around forever | 09:15 |
| whuffor | *has | 09:15 |
| gnutron | finiras: nano is easy, vi is powerful, emacs same thing | 09:16 |
| finiras | rite thx | 09:16 |
| gnutron | vi aka vim | 09:16 |
| whuffor | those are fullscreen editors though. The question was for a command line editor | 09:16 |
| theeclipse | finiras: btw if you are under ubuntu why dont you use GEDIT ? | 09:17 |
| Scix | Is it posible to preconfigure WPA securitysettings in the interface file? | 09:17 |
| amdpox | well, I'm guessing he just wants a CLI editor, whuffor | 09:17 |
| whuffor | Mmm. Possibly | 09:17 |
| finiras | theeclipse no im approachign a ubuntu server using SSH | 09:17 |
| Scix | Can't find anything while googleing.. | 09:17 |
| whuffor | You can't always use a gui editor if you for instance connect via ssh or something. | 09:17 |
| finiras | its been long since i did this stuff, forgot most of the commands | 09:17 |
| yourface | HEY!!! | 09:17 |
| theeclipse | finiras: Then use SSH -X | 09:17 |
| dnyy | Is envyng still useful in Ubuntu 8.10? Every mention of it seems geared toward 8.04 | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:18 |
| nnooplo_ | #linuxac | 09:18 |
| whuffor | theeclipse: Why use a gui if you don't have to? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dnyy: I use it | 09:18 |
| yourface | FUCK YOU | 09:18 |
| dnyy | :x | 09:18 |
| finiras | theeclipse im using putty from a windows machine | 09:18 |
| gnutron | Zealot12: read that file, note the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver.xorg command | 09:18 |
| theeclipse | whuffor: Well it is harf to start with VIM, it was just a suggestion | 09:18 |
| amdpox | finiras, then you'd need special software if you wanted to use X forwarding over ssh | 09:18 |
| amdpox | XMing I think it's called | 09:18 |
| dnyy | ActionParsnip: Well when it asks me to pick a driver, only one shows up. I'm guessing it's the correct one? I really don't want to mess anything up. :x | 09:18 |
| amdpox | nano is probably the easiest course | 09:18 |
| theeclipse | finiras: Then as mentioned above, VIM or Nano | 09:19 |
| whuffor | theeclipse: making gui work over a network in a secure way isn't that easy either :) | 09:19 |
| acasla | VIM was the first editor I ever used, from my noob days. It's not too hard, I think | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | dnyy: just instal the driver with auto hardware detection and it'll install what it needs, make sure you run the app with gksudo | 09:19 |
| finiras | amdpox, X forwarding? you mean like send a file from that pc to the one im on now? | 09:19 |
| acasla | i agree that nano is easier than VIM | 09:19 |
| theeclipse | whuffor: Oh alright man ;) | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | +1 nano | 09:19 |
| amdpox | finiras, no, it lets you run GUI apps remotely | 09:19 |
| hc | whuffor, actually ... if you know how to use SSH tunnels its very easy. | 09:19 |
| dnyy | ActionParsnip: I'm running Xubuntu and gksudo/gedit seem to never do anything. Is there a xfce alternative or something? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dnyy: sudo apt-get install gksudo maybe (?) | 09:20 |
| whuffor | hc: Agreed, but you have to learn it first. It can be very convenient | 09:20 |
| theeclipse | dennda: MousePad ? | 09:20 |
| finiras | amdpox i know how it works thx. ive done this a lot before only it was a long time ago so i forgot the names | 09:20 |
| amdpox | dnyy, mousepad is the text editor | 09:20 |
| hc | whuffor, i use it to administrate a bunch of pc's at school, so yeah, it's really easy. | 09:20 |
| Severian | dnyy, You can install gedit on xfce. It installs pretty easily. I assume gksudo would not be bad, but I have not tried that. | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dnyy: according to one post, xfce uses gtk too | 09:21 |
| theeclipse | gnutron: Anyway thanks man! | 09:21 |
| whuffor | hc: I think it's great too. My objection was just that learning how to do that just to use a graphical editor instead of a text editor seemed like overkill and not necessary | 09:21 |
| gnutron | theeclipse: welcome | 09:21 |
| dnyy | Severian: Ah, alright then. It not coming preinstalled had me confused as to if I should install it or not. :p | 09:21 |
| amdpox | xfce is gtk-based, but I think gedit has gnome deps | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | amdpox: im just trying to give him graphical sudo | 09:22 |
| ddoom | how do I disable gdm from starting onboot, without removing it | 09:22 |
| Photoguy | I try to load Rosetta stone using wine vitual desktop, but it says "please insert the correct cd" | 09:22 |
| dnyy | Well it seems there isn't a gnome-based GUI at the moment. :/ | 09:23 |
| Severian | dnyy, xfce has most of the libraries that gedit needs already. You just add the app. I always do that on xubuntu. xubuntu is very nice on my P2/366. Enjoy it. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Photoguy: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1867 | 09:23 |
| amdpox | ddoom, install bum and disable the service | 09:24 |
| hc | whuffor, that's a good point. | 09:24 |
| dnyy | Severian: I do, it runs a lot better with 512MB of RAM than gnome/kde. | 09:24 |
| dnyy | So if there's no GUI for this, I'm assuming sudo will do just fine? | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dnyy: you run: gksudo envyng-gtk | 09:24 |
| amdpox | dnyy, running graphical apps with plain sudo can lead to issues | 09:25 |
| Photoguy | Thanks I'll try that. | 09:25 |
| gnutron | ddoom: you use invoke.rc.d i believe, ask jack sparrow that question | 09:25 |
| amdpox | Photoguy, do you have a language pack CD in? | 09:26 |
| Photoguy | Yes :) | 09:26 |
| amdpox | In the physical drive? | 09:26 |
| Zealot12 | gnutron: it says "Package 'xserver.xorg' is not installed and no info is available" hmmmm | 09:26 |
| Photoguy | Yes | 09:26 |
| ddoom | gnutron: k | 09:26 |
| dnyy | ActionParnsip: It's saying there isn't a GUI, though, other than one for KDE. | 09:26 |
| amdpox | hmmm, I got rosetta working, lemme try to remembe rhow | 09:26 |
| Photoguy | Ok | 09:27 |
| Photoguy | It odes the same with BF2 | 09:27 |
| gnutron | Zealot12: intrepid, probably so, just installed ibex today on one box. | 09:27 |
| Photoguy | Battlefield 2 | 09:27 |
| Severian | ddoom, I would do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:27 |
| amdpox | Severian, that's hardly a permenant solution | 09:28 |

| mrglinux | I check repository for example http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com but when I apt-get install . can not find package but when I manual get with wget I can ... | 09:31 |
| Zealot12 | gnutron: oh I am on Intrepid I believe (its 8.10) | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | danaka: you can also display single interfaces with ifconfig eth0 for example | 09:31 |
| amdpox | mrglinux, have you apt-get updated recently? | 09:31 |
| gnutron | Zealot12: lsb_release -a in a term. intrepid did away with xserver.xorg | 09:31 |
| mrglinux | amdpox yes I had | 09:31 |
| ddoom | btw, I did update-rc.d -f gdm remove which worked | 09:31 |
| Severian | When I am changing services, I normall just adjust the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d, but I don't usually suggest others try it that way. | 09:31 |

| dnyy | Hmm, so that didn't work out. I followed the instructions, it said the driver was installed successfully, restarted, and was told no display device was found. | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | danaka: ktorrent allows encryption, if you dont have kde libs already installed they will be needed too | 09:44 |
| danaka | alright thanks | 09:44 |

| afancy | gregseth: there is many libspam, but in dont know which one | 10:09 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: download audacity, put an hipass filter on your sound and delete high frequencies (perhaps some mid freqs) until your sound is clean enough | 10:09 |
| aaaa`` | i tried to find the solution at forums.. no success :( | 10:09 |
| youshaoyun | OK | 10:09 |
| lianimator | Tch23: and audacity can do this on-the-fly? | 10:09 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: maybe you'll even find an hiss filter built in | 10:09 |
| daftykins | or maybe he'll buy something sensible instead of trying to use a laptop for audio related stuffs :P | 10:10 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: nop audacity have to calculate stuff | 10:10 |

| Tch23 | lianimator: if you want real time effect, it's gonna be painful | 10:10 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: well...a little bit more complicated | 10:10 |
| kern | how come when i set up a wired connection in network manager when i add the netmask as 255.255.255.0 it will hcange it to 24 ?? | 10:11 |
| aaaa`` | Im trying again.. if again failed.. Ill not try again.. | 10:11 |

| kamenoko | kekeke, the problem was with auto-accepted dcc's, it's all better now, thanks for the help :D | 10:11 |
| lianimator | Tch23: ever heard of guitarFX3? | 10:11 |
| daftykins | kamenoko, :) as in they were turned off? | 10:11 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: download jack, download some LADSPA from synaptic, | 10:11 |
| kamenoko | nah, it was turned on | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | daftykins: you can get reasonable SoundBalster PCMCIA card which will do ok audio sampling but yeah for audio stuffs I'd probably jump a mac | 10:11 |
| daftykins | ah ok, cool | 10:11 |
| kamenoko | once i had to confirm a send, it worked great | 10:11 |
| daftykins | onboard sound from a laptop is always going to be highly susceptible to EMI | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | daftykins: dont you just love when peolple dont check the disk at any point then moan the install isnt right | 10:12 |
| SmokeyD | aaaa``: how did you install? Do you have windows as well? Did you erase the whole disk or use existing partitions? | 10:12 |
| Tch23 | lianimator:then jackrack or some realtime effect soft... then hook up stuff like that in jack : Mic In->Jack Rack ->output | 10:12 |
| kamenoko | and cosmic rays | 10:12 |
| daftykins | ActionParsnip1, ja :D | 10:12 |

| Tch23 | ubottu: rooo... I know that I'm speaking to a bot...but I'm wounded | 10:14 |
| afancy | ActionParsnip1: it said the pam is not installect corredtly | 10:14 |

| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: then reinstall it | 10:14 |
| Polysics | i feel stupid for asking for this but... how do i launch a command in a way that makes it continue even if i log out? | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !screen | 10:15 |
| ubottu | screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 10:15 |
| Polysics | i have to do a lenghty geocoding and wanted to be able to turn off the client machine | 10:15 |
| Tch23 | Flannel: I knom man... I should have said "it's out of my reach"... | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Polysics: theres something called screen that does it or something ( i believe ) | 10:15 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: is it clearer | 10:15 |
| chimp | A script im trying to run in init.d needs full network access before it can run, is there a way I can implement this? | 10:16 |
| Tch23 | lianimator: or d'you need some more explainations? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | chimp thats already done | 10:16 |
| cuonglb | hi all | 10:16 |
| chimp | At the minute it seems to run too early, and doesnt connect | 10:16 |
| Photoguy | I'm trying to run Rosetta stone, but when I try to run (under Wine) it says "please insert correct cd-rom" | 10:16 |
| ikonia | chimp: innit sciprts are run as root | 10:16 |
| Flannel | Tch23: Sounds good. Thanks. | 10:16 |
| Photoguy | I have it in a physical drive. | 10:16 |
| daftykins | Photoguy, wine won't map the CD to the Linux system CD mount point automatically | 10:16 |
| lianimator | Tch23: thanks, I'm installing jack-rack | 10:16 |
| Photoguy | Ok.. | 10:16 |
| chimp | ikonia: I realise that, its simply when the script is run from bootup it doesnt find the server its supposed to connect to | 10:16 |
| chimp | but does once its booted | 10:16 |
| ikonia | chimp that doesn't mean it needs root | 10:17 |
| chimp | ahh sorry, badly worded | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Polysics: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-776385.html | 10:17 |
| Polysics | ActionParsnip1, screen is GREAT, thanks :-) | 10:17 |
| chimp | What i mean is i need the computer to have fully connected to the network, before the script is run | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Polysics: np man | 10:17 |
| Polysics | it's useful for a variety of things | 10:17 |
| Tch23 | Flannel: sociological statement : It's weird cause forums push people to "RTFM" and find by themself... While IRC don't.... It may be because forums have limited space while IRC don't... I think I got a forum behavior in the wrong place | 10:17 |
| ikonia | chimp then order it after the networking setup | 10:18 |
| Photoguy | So how do I assign it? | 10:18 |
| chimp | ikonia: How do I do that? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chimp: you could have it test the connectivitys at the strat of the script. Once all are ok, run the next bits | 10:18 |
| chimp | How do i make it run last | 10:18 |
| daftykins | Photoguy, not sure how WINE maps a CD drive | 10:18 |
| ikonia | chimp look at the order of the scripts in /etc/rc2.d | 10:18 |
| Photoguy | Oh. | 10:18 |
| cuonglb | Kernel panic, how can i recovery ? | 10:18 |
| daftykins | is there anything that looks like "drive D" in ~/.wine/ ? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | cuonglb power off and back on | 10:18 |
| daftykins | the place where it puts the "fake" hard disk | 10:18 |
| cuonglb | repeat power off and back on = n lolz :D | 10:19 |
| daftykins | back in a bit, got a job to do | 10:19 |
| daftykins | some IT student can't turn a screen on >_< | 10:19 |
| ikonia | cuonglb thats the only way out of a panic | 10:19 |
| ha6i | can some one help me to troubleshoot audia device? i am using ubuntu 8.10.... | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Photoguy: is there any option to point the 'cd drive' to a folder on the system | 10:19 |
| Robbie_Crash | is there any reason for me to backup ~/.gvfs? | 10:20 |
| Photoguy | Ok, I'll look into it. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Photoguy: like rosettastone.exe -source="C:\somefolder\" | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Photoguy: run the exe with /? on the end | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Photoguy: or maybe theres a reg hack to get round | 10:20 |
| Photoguy | hmm. | 10:20 |

| sdf | first uninstall windows | 10:22 |
| sdf | :P | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !sound | ha6i | 10:22 |
| ubottu | ha6i: 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 | 10:22 |
| ikonia | sdf thats not funny | 10:22 |
| DaveKong | thanks DIFH-iceroot , ActionParsnip1 I would rather not have to open a browser and like getting the many sources compiled for me without other junk | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DaveKong: hmm, gimme a sec then | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DaveKong: xfce4-dict | 10:23 |
| Robbie_Crash | So, is there any reason for me to backup ~/.gvfs or is it something that I won't need an old version of when I rebuild a system? It looks like all it had on my last backup was a bunch of links to smb shares off my Windows boxes which are backed up elsewhere | 10:24 |
| james1979 | ! | 10:24 |

| bullgard4 | nickla1: An uptime in IRC may matter if somebody has knowledge about a message sent/received or not. | 10:34 |

| shrini | ActionParsnip1: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb | 10:34 |
| nickla1 | bullgard4: ok | 10:34 |

| shrini | ActionParsnip1: /etc/fstab will mount on boot time only, I think | 10:35 |
| shrini | ActionParsnip: I want automount | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shrini: it will try, if the usb isnt there it will be ignored | 10:36 |
| shrini | ActionParsnip1: will it mount it, when it finds one? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shrini: if you have it in there it should automount. I dont use automount myself. I prefer to manage my system | 10:36 |
| firetrap | moDumass, maybe because you are upgrading your kernel and the required graphics driver isn't available for that kernel version? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shrini: yeah definately | 10:36 |
| FluxD | Hi, what happened to the www-data user on intrepid? | 10:36 |

| shrini | ActionParsnip1: fine | 10:39 |
| firetrap | moDumass, can't you adjust the resolution? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ultratek: you can alt + drag, im guessing you have an nvidia card? | 10:39 |
| ultratek | ati | 10:40 |
| ultratek | ohh | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ultratek: ok run: compiz --replace & 2>/dev/null | 10:40 |
| moDumass | firetrap, 640x480 lower are the only options | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ultratek: you are missing your window decorators | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ultratek: find a fix for that and you can jump to emerald | 10:40 |
| moDumass | firetrap, its like its not detecting the monitor type | 10:40 |
| firetrap | moDumass, try editing your xorg.conf, you can add extra resolutions in there | 10:40 |
| ultratek | how do i close windows now | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ultratek: alt+ f4 | 10:41 |

| BoogieBoo | ompaul, did you read what I wrote before?? I dont care if PPTP is secure or not, it is my company VPN server and I don't decide wether should be OPeVPN or somehting else, I just need to connect to get files to WORK | 11:34 |

| CaptainMorgan | I have to believe this is an Ubuntu problem... I have a server that of course uses port 80. I have an application that needs to connect to the internet to get content... I'm assuming that it might be acting like a browser since it too needs port 80. When the application is run it immediately fires back with a tcp connection error at port 80, no route to host. I've shut down apache, redirected ports at the router, shut down port | 12:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | s, etc.. anything I can do to all this app to access through port 80? | 12:13 |
| sinuc | CaptainMorgan: what sort of applicatoin is that? | 12:14 |
| sinuc | if its "acting like a browser" it shouldnt need anything at all, ie port forwarding | 12:15 |
| sinuc | check routing and resolv.conf first | 12:15 |
| sinuc | its nevermind if the daemon has port80 some http running, still the routing should work to access any outside port80 site | 12:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | sinuc, it's a small crawler that I hand wrote in Scheme.. why should port forwarding be necessary? | 12:15 |
| trandinhquyet | dvdf | 12:15 |
| Ayyad | no route to host is not an ubuntu problem.. nor is it even an OS problem! (assuming that your server is the one running on port 80) | 12:15 |
| sinuc | crawler? | 12:16 |
| Ayyad | this is a network problem | 12:16 |
| sinuc | what does he crawl? | 12:16 |
| CaptainMorgan | sinuc, the application works fine when I physically leave the network ... so it's something inside the network that's not allowing it to access | 12:16 |
| sinuc | yea, however, i starte with check routing and resolv.conf | 12:16 |
| sinuc | consider. | 12:16 |
| sinuc | nat, dunno | 12:16 |
| cmv583 | anyone know command for install JRE? | 12:17 |

| cyme | okey im new at this ubuntu im trying to move an directory to wine partition and cant understand how to do it | 12:23 |
| cyme | from an ntfs partition | 12:23 |
| CaptainMorgan | no, sinuc can stay, he's being helpful and is an asset | 12:23 |
| usser_ | cyme, your wine partition is here ~/.wine/drive_c | 12:23 |
| CaptainMorgan | Ayyad, any thoughts on what's returned, as I mentioned above? | 12:23 |
| cyme | wllwe where is my mounted ntfs partition | 12:24 |
| Scix | How can I preseed ubuntu-restriced-extras? | 12:24 |
| cyme | well* | 12:24 |
| moDumass | actually gimme a sec | 12:24 |
| allsystemsarego | cyme, use gnome-commander, it's easier | 12:24 |
| usser_ | cyme, type fdisk -l that should show what it is. mount will show where its mounted | 12:24 |
| cmv583 | allsystemsarego: wherein the problem lies, what about command for frostwire? i have .exe. file installed, ahving trouble installing in linux | 12:24 |
| Ayyad | I believe that the 400 error is caused by a malformed request to the server (i could be wrong) | 12:25 |
| usser_ | cyme, sudo fdisk -l rather | 12:25 |
| allsystemsarego | cmv583, why an .exe file, I thought it was the Linux version of frostwire | 12:25 |
| cmv583 | allsystemsarego: me too, i'm kinda new,lol:-[ | 12:27 |
| usser_ | cmv583, sudo apt-get install frostwire | 12:27 |

| moDumass | nup installed, shouldnt "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ask me anything about graphics, mine doesnt | 12:28 |
| allsystemsarego | cmv583, you need gtk-gnutella which is equivalent to frostwire | 12:28 |
| usser_ | moDumass, as of ubuntu hardy it doesnt work anymore all the Xorg configuration is done through xrandr | 12:28 |
| cmv583 | usser_: says can't find package | 12:29 |
| allsystemsarego | cmv583, "sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella" | 12:29 |
| zhjawe | Is there IRC room about image processing and matlab? | 12:30 |
| moDumass | usser_, thanks, il look that up | 12:31 |
| dustrial | zhjawe: i dont think matlab has native image processing? in our lab we use openCV | 12:31 |
| usser_ | cmv583, hm it may not be in the repos after all. i don't remember how i got it installed... you may need to get it from frostwire.com | 12:32 |
| usser_ | cmv583, get the .deb file not .exe | 12:32 |
| steveccc | does anyone here think something like .mac for ubuntu would be useful? | 12:32 |
| moDumass | usser_, what would have caused this, i didnt mess with any video settings | 12:33 |
| dustrial | .mac? you mean haveing a tool to mount macOS-files? | 12:33 |
| usser_ | moDumass, nothing it was a political decision all we've moved to configuring xorg on the fly... dpkg-reconfigure was conflicting with that philosophy | 12:34 |
| magnetron | zhjawe→ you should look for any matlab-related rooms | 12:34 |
| cyme | okey some1 said gnome-commander i got it but i cant get to the wine dir | 12:34 |
| moDumass | ok, cool | 12:34 |
| sken | does anybody know how can i uninstall googlearth? | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, depends on how you installed it. | 12:35 |
| sken | i nstalled it by terminal | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, that tells us very little.. the thing exists as medibuntu packages/repo. or as a download from the google homepages | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis64 | or you could of downloaded a .deb and used that. | 12:36 |
| cyme | okey can some1 tell me how to select the ~./wine dir in gnome-commander | 12:37 |
| sken | yes with a deb dr_willis64 | 12:37 |
| a380 | funciona esto? | 12:37 |
| sken | actually i installed it twice with different ways dr_willis64 | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, then you use the package manager tools to remove it. | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, no idea how the 'different ways' will affect things. | 12:38 |
| petemc | is there an equivalent to debians archive.debian.org, ie a mirror i can grab packages for old releases? | 12:38 |
| strk | The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgdal1-dev: Depends: libcurl4-dev or libcurl-dev E: Broken packages | 12:38 |
| steveccc | dustrial: no .mac is a internet based disk that enables the os to sync bookmarks, files from home directories etc basically to sync your machine so which ever machine is on you have an environment bought in plus access to an internet based disk for backups etc - thus I am asking if people think this would be useful and questioning whether its somthing people may pay a little to canonical for? | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, if i recall right the .bin installer from google, insttalls all the files to a directory in the users home directory. Ive not used that .bin in ages | 12:39 |
| sken | so can you tell me how to uninstall it? | 12:39 |
| dustrial | steveccc: imho i think it can be archived easier with workarounds | 12:40 |
| cyme | okey can some1 tell me how to select the ~./wine dir in gnome-commander | 12:40 |
| badawi | cyme: .wine is a hidden file, you need to select " show hidden files" option | 12:40 |
| moDumass | usser_, what if xrandr doesnt show anything other than 640x480? | 12:40 |

| Fret18 | I need help related to YouTube. | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, the .bin file installed to a directory in the users Home dir.. just delete the dir. | 12:41 |
| kern | whats wrong with youtube | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, but the .bin installer might be more up to date then the one in the repos | 12:41 |
| steveccc | dustrial: i agree you could setup something with rsync or ftp etc but .mac is in theory easy to use for non techies and also supplies the storage which people would have to sort out for themselves - i think its a good idea but just want to ask everyoine | 12:42 |
| steveccc | everyone even | 12:42 |

| ikonia | sken I'm not laughing | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sken, if it installed to the 'googleearth'directory like the .bin did here.. delete that directory.. simple eh? If you used the .deb - use the package manager.. also simple... | 12:44 |

| Fret18 | I use ubuntu 8.04. | 12:51 |
| syberjj | Dr_Willis64 - yeah but the bridge is used to put together one network card with a wireless card on one side (internat network) and one other network card on the other side for the external connection. I have only 2 network cards, one external and one internal. I wonder if the internal card needs to be in a bridge "alone" to change the way the firewal/NAT affects it... but ill take a look at the pages ubottu sent me first | 12:51 |
| ech0s7 | anyone have an ati HD 3400series (with compiz) ? | 12:51 |

| Dr_Willis64 | JCA_, you could insall a vncserver like vnc4server., and just start/stop That vnserver. You dont need X running at all for that.. it would be a hidden desktop so to speak. not shareing the current/visible one.. | 13:06 |

| MacGyverNL | How would I go about doing the following: I have a drive containing 2 windows partitions and 1 linux partition. I want to move the linux OS to a new drive, take out the old one and put in the new one. New drive is accessible through USB (though I'm unsure which mount options to use). Should I boot into linux, is there a way I can easily copy over everything and can I in the same operation use a larger target partition? | 13:31 |
| MacGyverNL | Also, I take it I have to reinstall the bootloader, but I doubt I can do that while the new partition is still on USB. | 13:31 |
| MacGyverNL | This is Ubuntu 7.04. | 13:32 |
| ikonia | MacGyverNL 7.04 is no longer supported | 13:32 |
| MacGyverNL | Though I doubt that would really make a difference. | 13:32 |
| MacGyverNL | ikonia: Does that in any way change the operation I want to perform? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | MacGyverNL: you need to boot from a livecd, mount your new disk, copy the ubuntu partition's data to it, put grub on the correct disk, and change the fstab and menu.lst | 13:32 |
| giganto | ikonia, hi, I did a paste bin of the result of dhclient http://pastebin.com/d7ec593f7 | 13:32 |
| ikonia | MacGyverNL: yes because 7.04 does not have the same libata configuration as 7.10 and greater | 13:33 |

| giganto | ikonia, yup, i did that http://pastebin.com/d7b2f8edf | 13:34 |
| giganto | Halitech, thx | 13:34 |
| MacGyverNL | ikonia: Thanks, if that's all there is to it I think I can manage. I can use tar to copy over the data while preserving permissions, right? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | MacGyverNL it's that easy | 13:35 |

| MacGyverNL | ikonia: Oh, by the way, I made a mistake. It's 7.10, not 7.04. Same operation though? | 13:36 |
| giganto | ikonia, my problem was with eth0 though | 13:36 |
| Halitech | giganto, one of your devices got an IP, just not sure which, whats the output of sudo ifconfig? | 13:36 |
| ikonia | MacGyverNL: yup, but you may want to consider using uuid's in fstab and mnu.lst | 13:36 |
| ikonia | menu.lst | 13:36 |
| ikonia | giganto: then run it against eth0 | 13:36 |

| giganto | Halitech, im at the moment connected to wlan0, I think that's the device which got an ip | 13:37 |

| ardchoille | Photoguy: this is what I told you earlier, but you must have misunderstood | 13:40 |
| giganto | Halitech, im currently staying in a hotel so I can't tell if the router's working. However, I got the hotel's IT people to test out the connection and it worked on their XP machine (person brought a XP laptop in to test) | 13:40 |
| Photoguy | Right, but when I try to install it says it needs dependencies. | 13:41 |
| giganto | Halitech, cable's definitely working and there's light on the port | 13:41 |
| ardchoille | Photoguy: then you're not using the medibuntu repo properly, pelase read that link ubottu posted to you | 13:41 |
| ripps | I've just discovered the weirdest thing ever. My computer runs faster after I suspend my computer. Usually, when I player 720p h.264 video, it stutters and is impossible to play, but after I resume from a suspend, it plays perfectly. Fresh boot, h.264 uses 100% cpu, after suspend about 80%.

| gaelfx | I'm trying to use QQ for Linux in AMD64 Ubuntu, but I can't change input methods, so I looked in /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules or whatever, and immodules lacks any kind of scim reference. I suspect this means that there isn't any kind of installed support for SCIM in with my 32-bit apps, how can I fix that? | 13:43 |
| ardchoille | Photoguy: are you on Intrepid? | 13:43 |
| magnetron | gaelfx→ are you using Pidgin for your QQ chat? | 13:43 |
| Photoguy | Yes. | 13:43 |

| ardchoille | Photoguy: this page has stpe-by-step directions on how to add medibuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 13:44 |
| gaelfx | magnetron: no, QQ just released a 'for Linux' preview, I'm using that | 13:44 |
| ripps | magnetron: But I tested this theory by suspending right after booting, and the I still had the performance gain. Usually I can play h.264, even when my computer has been on for several hours. | 13:44 |

| dupondje | Hello, i'm trying to get my samba server secured, I added 2 users to my linux (jl & tine), now I want to make that 1 has access over everything (del/read/write) and 1 that can read everything and del/write some dirs, I set unix permissions, but it seems like the users that shouldn't be able to delete, can deleted everything ... any id ? | 14:24 |

| TJ-42 | which smart phones will sync with ubuntu? my understanding is that the new iphones will not. Will the android g1 or blackberry bold? | 14:25 |
| barrientos | my HD doesn't work, it happend too with windows, but then i could type the direction folder on the direction bar and that was enough now i can't type it anywhere | 14:25 |
| dayzman | ZeroA4, i see. what is the filename of the kernel? | 14:25 |
| barrientos | and i got a little question.... how can i make the back-slash with the spaion keyboard? | 14:26 |
| recon61 | Halitech, it's just as far as i recall , the networkmanager has most of it own setup files and the interfaces file should be unmodified | 14:26 |

| HymnToLife | rookeeeeeeeee: you need to specify a mount poit | 14:27 |
| HymnToLife | or add an entry for it in your fstab | 14:27 |
| Halitech | giganto, run gksu gedit /etc/network/run/ifstate and add 'wlan0=wlan0' (without the ' ') then save | 14:27 |
| HymnToLife | point* | 14:28 |
| asalwe | hi yall | 14:28 |
| barrientos | now my HD aren't named D: or F: how can i gat into them? | 14:28 |
| Halitech | recon61, I never liked the network manager myself so never used it | 14:28 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | HymnToLife, look at it; i did | 14:28 |
| Halitech | barrientos, where are they mounted? linux doesn't use drive letters like windows | 14:28 |
| giganto | Halitech, back that file as well? | 14:29 |
| HymnToLife | rookeeeeeeeee: no you didn't, you only specified the path of the device to mount | 14:29 |
| Halitech | giganto, probably a good idea | 14:29 |
| HymnToLife | you didn't tall where to mount it | 14:29 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | the device is an entire system HymnToLife | 14:29 |
| HymnToLife | no it is not | 14:29 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | thats what the ip address is HymnToLife | 14:29 |
| HymnToLife | it is a directory within a filesystem | 14:29 |
| HymnToLife | it needs to be mounted at another directory in the local filesystem | 14:30 |
| Halitech | giganto, then run gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces and add iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 14:30 |

| giganto | Halitech /etc/network/run/ifstate doesn't exist | 14:31 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | Jack_Sparrow, this is a networking problem not a partitioning problem | 14:31 |
| HymnToLife | rookeeeeeeeee: when you mount something, you mount it in a directory of the local filesystem, that's called a mount point | 14:31 |
| HymnToLife | and you need to specify it on the mount command | 14:31 |
| barrientos | if i want to write a direction into a HD that in windows was D:\instaladores now how is it on ubuntu? | 14:31 |
| HymnToLife | and if you think you know better, why are you asking ? | 14:31 |

| telexl | Hi. I think I've found a bug in the linux-headers package: I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and sound and nvidia modules aren't compiling. Further investigation showed that the symlinks in linux-headers-2.6.25-2-386 are pointing to the wrong place. Has anyone else seen this, perhaps? | 14:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rookeeeeeeeee In the future, please post a brief description of your problem and not just a link.. all on the same line.. thanks | 14:32 |
| giganto | Halitech, skip that part and add ifcae wlan0 inte dhcp? | 14:32 |
| Halitech | giganto, yeah | 14:32 |
| HymnToLife | Jack_Sparrow: the problem is clear as day | 14:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HymnToLife We always request they please post a brief description of your problem and not just a link.. all on the same line.. thanks | 14:33 |
| HymnToLife | no mount point specified, but someone thinks he knows better, so I'm off | 14:33 |
| barrientos | hey please i really need help i installed ubuntu last night and i can't use two HD i got | 14:34 |
| HymnToLife | and please don't give me that BS, the link given is perfectly sufficient to explain the problem | 14:34 |

| eerf | hi | 14:34 |
| eerf | can explain what sudo su -- does? | 14:34 |
| dpecka_ | hi all | 14:34 |
| telexl | eerf: gives you a root shell | 14:35 |
| recon61 | barrientos: have you looked for the Hdd's in "Places" ? | 14:35 |
| ripps | Does anybody here know what command gnome uses when you mount a drive from the Places menu? | 14:35 |
| telexl | eerf: no, hang on.. should be only one '-' there | 14:35 |
| LjL | eerf: and it's ugly, too, use "sudo -i" when you need a root shell, it's shorter and shinier | 14:35 |
| barrientos | yes | 14:35 |
| Casperov | hey...im trying to delete my boot partion with this command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 ive done it before, but terminal is saying permision denied...how to i make it so that i do have permision | 14:35 |
| Halitech | rookeeeeeeeee, have you created a mount point in fstab? | 14:35 |
| barrientos | i can't get in through places either | 14:35 |
| giganto | Halitech, it now looks like this auto lo | 14:35 |
| giganto | iface lo inet loopback | 14:35 |
| giganto | iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 14:35 |
| recon61 | barrientos: do they show up in you bios? | 14:35 |
| linuxnoop | can i install the mobile linux version via bluetooth | 14:35 |
| barrientos | how do i check that? | 14:36 |
| eerf | telexl: I know what sudo su -(one hyphen) | 14:36 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | Halitech, no i havent. ok didnt know I had to | 14:36 |
| telexl | Casperov: are you logged in as root? | 14:36 |
| Halitech | giganto, no mention of eth0? | 14:36 |
| telexl | eerf: sorry.. it looked like one - on my tty | 14:36 |
| Halitech | rookeeeeeeeee, yes you do | 14:36 |
| eerf | telexl: I am asking sudo su --(two hyphens) | 14:36 |
| LjL | eerf: ah, the two hyphens are to "separate su options from the arguments supplied to the shell" (man su) | 14:36 |
| dpecka_ | would someone show me output of `which {chkconfig,insserv}` .. maybe it needs roots privilegues .. thanks .. i have not ubuntu but have a customer on line | 14:36 |
| dpecka_ | thanks | 14:36 |
| lianimator | sometimes when tray icons appear/disappear, some of them overlap another one (visually only. transparent parts show the image of the icon that was there before.) anyone seen this behavior? or understand the problem? | 14:37 |
| giganto | Halitech, that's the whole file after i added "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" | 14:37 |
| Casperov | telexi: just logged in normally...how do i log in as root | 14:37 |
| LjL | !root > Casperov (Casperov, see the private message from ubottu) | 14:37 |
| Halitech | giganto, ok, add another line with eth0 and the same info but changing wlan0 to eth0 | 14:37 |
| telexl | Casperov: I always do 'sudo su -' | 14:37 |
| LjL | telexl: why not "sudo -i"? | 14:37 |
| telexl | Casperov: that kinda ties in what I was talking with the others about, here | 14:38 |
| giganto | Halitech, after that?? | 14:38 |
| Halitech | giganto, yeah | 14:38 |
| unb | pulseaudio error: W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. | 14:38 |

| telexl | LjL: hmm, yeah, you're right.. | 14:38 |
| eerf | LjL: thanks, cab you explain in more detail? | 14:38 |
| Halitech | save the file and restart networking | 14:39 |
| telexl | LjL: there are so many different ways to get a root shell. | 14:39 |
| eerf | *can* | 14:39 |
| Casperov | ok...how do i get root power :) | 14:39 |
| n8tuser | lianimator-> try on a terminal, xrefresh | 14:39 |
| LjL | telexl: well, "sudo -s" and "sudo -i" are the ones that make sense, the others are either dangerous or just redundant ("sudo -i" corresponds to "sudo su -", while "sudo -s" corresponds to "sudo su", but there's no real reason to chain sudo and su) | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 14:39 |
| 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, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 14:39 |

| lianimator | I installed jack-rack and now my sound doesn't work anymore. any suggestions on how to revert? | 14:42 |
| giganto | Halitech, here http://pastebin.com/d6d857b1d :D | 14:42 |
| eerf | LjL: thanks, can you explain about sudo su -- in more detail? | 14:42 |
| lianimator | I did "killall lashd" and it's working again | 14:43 |
| Halitech | giganto, looks okay, lets try to bring it up sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eerf sudo su is not the best choice | 14:43 |
| arbel | I want to download xubuntu and every time I download the .iso file from the web site, it dos'nt work. am I doing something wrong? | 14:44 |
| lordblaa | hey guys i just got a new computer for the first time in many years and its got all kinds of temp sensors and stuff. When i look with acpi -V it looks like all the cooling is off - just wondering where i should look for turning on/off fans etc as i've never had it before - or is it all definitely automatic? | 14:44 |
| n8tuser | Halitech-> dont let him bring up two nics on same subnet on same host, unless you give him advise to change the route table to make it work | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arbel are you running md5 on the download to make sure you got it | 14:44 |
| eerf | Jack_Sparrow: then what is the best? | 14:44 |
| lordblaa | i know i've had laptops in the past where the cooling didn't work/worked differently in linux so i want to make sure | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eerf sudo for cli or gksudo for gui apps | 14:45 |
| Halitech | n8tuser, he's connected wireless to a seperate location | 14:45 |
| arbel | I don't know | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !md5 | 14:45 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:45 |
| eerf | Jack_Sparrow: what about KDE? | 14:45 |
| n8tuser | Halitech-> cool..thats why i specifically said same subnet same host just to be clear | 14:45 |
| LjL | eerf: "sudo su --" alone is the same as "sudo su". if you put something after the "--", it gets passed as arguments to your shell (for example, bash) | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arbel when you look at the disk you burn do you see one *.iso file of many files | 14:45 |
| telexl | Thanks all. I might be back, this is interesting. | 14:45 |
| Zzeiss | Any pointers on using Ubuntu as a dom0, running Xen under Ubuntu, then Fedora 10 or Mac OSX under Xen? Or am I absolutely nutz? | 14:46 |

| onetinsoldier | hi. i need help getting around problem with installing ubuntu 8.10, if it's even going to be possible for me. it looks like the installer uses a kernel that has a bug that has prevented some people from being able to install. unfortunately my hardware is a victim of this bug and it's preventing me from being able to install | 14:49 |
| king | Are there any OO alternatives? The suite is terrible. Unlike all OS software, it mimicks MSFT Office to the core, and fails horribly. | 14:49 |
| node357 | onetinsoldier, maybe you should try the "alternate" install image | 14:49 |
| eerf | !checksum | 14:50 |

| nvidiahelp | Hi | 14:51 |
| king | LjL, Commonly found on VCDs. | 14:51 |
| n8tuser | lianimator-> oh well, if they overlap, i guess you have to move one of them away | 14:51 |

| badawi | onetinsoldier: hey onetinsoldier, which bug are you talking about? | 14:51 |
| onetinsoldier | node357: i can try it, but it's alsmost certain it uses the same version of the kernel. what i need is a way to install from an already existing linux installation | 14:51 |
| LjL | king: in which case they would merely be renamed mpegs? | 14:51 |
| mahidhar | king vlc is not able 2 play it | 14:51 |
| Halitech | LjL, exactly | 14:52 |
| lianimator | n8tuser: it's not really an overlap. it's a shadow of the previous tray icon in the line. | 14:52 |
| jimcooncat | .dat or .DAT could be any kind of data | 14:52 |
| king | LjL, I guess so. That is the only way VCD players can play it. In the MPEGAV folder structure. | 14:52 |
| king | mahidhar, Is it a VCD? | 14:52 |
| node357 | onetinsoldier, well, worth a shot I guess, don't know much about that bug... | 14:52 |
| LjL | mahidhar: how about you run "file filename" on the file so you can be sure what it actually is | 14:52 |
| nvidiahelp | I have a geforce 9500 card and when i install the drivers through the prompt on 8.10 it kills x and all i get in tty. On 8.04 I do not encounter the problem. I think it is the new xorg. If i install the drivers manually will that help? | 14:52 |

| giganto | Halitech, oops, sry. Lets try that again http://pastebin.com/d2039eb0f | 14:52 |
| mahidhar | LjL it is a viedo file | 14:52 |
| ardchoille | file /path/filename.dat should tell you what kind of file it is | 14:52 |

| king | mahidhar, if you google there is also a complex mplayer string to directly play a VCD if nothing else works | 14:53 |
| n8tuser | lianimator-> i dont know how to fix that..i gave you xrefresh hoping it will repaint it and fix it | 14:53 |

| Halitech | unb, thats the problem with people today, always so serious :) I can't say I have but then again I haven't tried to use a webcam in quite awhile | 14:58 |
| nvidiahelp | ardchoille maek0 think the problem is the new xorg | 14:58 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | could someone please tell me how to setup a server-client relationship on nfs? it doesnt show how on the nfs how to. | 14:58 |
| LjL | berilio: see if the package "gnome-app-install" is installed | 14:58 |
| Ximal | mental note for ikonia , i believe it was the firefox button that messed things up... because now that i've reinstalled and i have the tor an privoxy running on 8.10 there is no issue with synaptics... so i don't know where but somehow along the line of installing aftr putting the tor button on firefox ... everything went haywire ... | 14:58 |
| berilio | LjL, thanks | 14:58 |
| giganto | Halitech, but how would u explain the dhclient ?? | 14:58 |
| ardchoille | nvidiahelp: No idea, but I have seen other with the 9300 having trouble with the drivers | 14:59 |
| unb | Halitech: it was working on 8.04 | 14:59 |
| berilio | LjL, that did the trick, thanks | 14:59 |
| Halitech | giganto, dhclient is your computer and its trying to talk to the router/server | 14:59 |
| Halitech | unb, not sure, whats the output of lsusb? | 14:59 |
| giganto | Halitech, oo i see, I thought it was trying to simulate a connection and check if ur device works | 15:00 |
| nvidiahelp | ardchoille what was their problems? | 15:00 |
| Finnish | Anyone installed ATI 8.12 drivers? My videos are still flashing when compiz is on | 15:00 |
| Halitech | giganto, no, its actually trying to talk to the router | 15:00 |
| barrientos | how can i see both desktops at the same time and move windows between them? | 15:00 |
| ardchoille | nvidiahelp: I don't remember, but the drivers weren't working correctly | 15:00 |
| onetinsoldier | does anyone know of a way to install ubuntu 8.10 from an already existing installation of linux? | 15:00 |
| UnknownUser56 | Something not directly related to ubuntu,but how can I restart downloading with wget from where it left off ( example ,power cut out and I need to restard the download ) ? | 15:01 |
| unb | Halitech: sorry forgot to mention is the build in cam. the error output is "(cheese:8565): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad source:src returned caps which are not a real subset of its template caps" | 15:01 |
| Halitech | onetinsoldier, what version? | 15:01 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | could someone please tell me how to setup a server-client relationship on nfs? it doesnt show how on the nfs how to. | 15:01 |
| giganto | Halitech, well i guess i'll just stick with this wireless then | 15:01 |
| nvidiahelp | ardchoille thanks for the heads up! | 15:01 |

| Halitech | giganto, I would until you have a chance to test it elsewhere | 15:02 |

| onetinsoldier | Halitech: i guess i could say that there's is no 'need' to. just to see what it's all about and join in the ubuntu fun. and it's harder to help people on here if you aren't running the exact same distro as they are | 15:04 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: can't you just install Ubuntu from the CD...? | 15:04 |
| Halitech | unb, I'm thinking its the omnivision one but not sure, think I tried helping someone with it before and in 8.10 it doesn't seem to work | 15:05 |
| giganto | Halitech, I guess that's the best plan for now | 15:05 |
| giganto | Halitech, thanks for ur help then :D | 15:05 |
| nvidiahelp | ardchoille i did the problem seems to be hard to pin down | 15:05 |
| Halitech | onetinsoldier, why not? I'm running Debian here and most things are the same | 15:05 |

| mahidhar | king i got tar package of mplayer from google ...... how 2 install it | 15:05 |
| Halitech | giganto, no problem man, hope you get it figured out and its still working elsewhere | 15:05 |
| mahidhar | LjL i got tar package of mplayer from google ...... how 2 install it | 15:05 |
| mahidhar | i got tar package of mplayer from google ...... how 2 install it | 15:05 |
| LjL | mahidhar, why did you get a tar? | 15:06 |
| lordblaa | best file-index-search-backend-thing? beagle? tracker? strigi? etc? | 15:06 |
| LjL | mahidhar: mplayer is in the *repositories* | 15:06 |
| LjL | !software > mahidhar (mahidhar, see the private message from ubottu) | 15:06 |
| tux91 | What's better for / : ext3, xfs or jfs? | 15:06 |
| LjL | mahidhar: you install it using "sudo apt-get install mplayer", or any other standard installation method. NOT from a tar. | 15:06 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: nope, i wish i could and i've tried to use my sata dvd drive to install almost every way forwards and backwards. but there may be 'something' i haven't tried. anyway, i can't do to what i believe is a bug in the kernel the install uses. do a search on ubuntu 8.10 end_request | 15:06 |
| Halitech | unb, looks like it might be something with the kernel as even gentoo and fedora folks are having issues with that cam | 15:07 |
| onetinsoldier | s/install/installer | 15:07 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier, but then i fear that the kernel the installer uses is the same kernel that you'll get on a final install... | 15:07 |
| Ricki | would anybody tell me how to look at my permissions on any given repo (using svn) | 15:07 |
| cannonball | What other command(s) besides update-rc.d is there to manage init script processing for various runlevels? I'm trying to get a list, similar to chkconfig --list on rpm distros. | 15:07 |
| unb | Halitech: ok, than nothing i can do... the pulseaudio also having problem. | 15:08 |
| ikonia | cannonball thats teh command | 15:08 |
| giganto | Halitech, but using wireless like this is kinda dangerous as well lol, people can just hack in | 15:08 |
| LjL | cannonball: none is installed by default | 15:08 |
| ikonia | cannonball: check config isnt' setup to with with upstart | 15:08 |
| mahidhar | LjL mplayer is not there in add\remove program | 15:08 |
| simplexio | cannonball: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf | 15:08 |
| rjune | cannonball, chkconfig is available in ubuntu | 15:08 |
| LjL | mahidhar: Add/Remove only shows GUI applications, and mplayer is not one. | 15:08 |
| thiebaude | mahidhar: get mplayer from synaptic | 15:08 |
| LjL | mahidhar: type "sudo apt-get install mplayer". | 15:08 |
| Halitech | giganto, most of the script kiddies wouldn't know what to do even if the could get in | 15:09 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: ahhh, but i can always compile and install my own kernel if i can just get the OS installed. i already have a .config waiting for kernel that i have compiled myself recently... config-linux-2.6.28-rc7-git1 | 15:09 |
| nvidiahelp | Anyone have any ideas on the Nvidia problems? | 15:09 |
| lordblaa | i think i'm going to go for strigi - anyone had any problems with strigi or good experiences with other indexers? | 15:09 |
| Halitech | unb, I don't use pulse so no ideas for you | 15:09 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: you could perhaps install from a USB drive? | 15:09 |
| Tch23 | Eyh! Is the RT-Kernel ready to rock with Intrpid? | 15:09 |
| badawi | what's the ncurses version of synaptic called? i'm not talking about apt-get btw | 15:09 |
| unb | Halitech: what you use than? maybe i should change too. | 15:09 |
| mahidhar | LjL k i m getting it ... tnks alot | 15:10 |
| Halitech | unb, I use alsa | 15:10 |
| LjL | !info rcconf | cannonball | 15:10 |
| ubottu | rcconf (source: rcconf): Debian Runlevel configuration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.21 (intrepid), package size 19 kB, installed size 116 kB | 15:10 |
| rjune | badawi, aptitude is what you're thinking of | 15:10 |
| zibri | badawi: aptitute | 15:10 |
| rjune | Halitech, alsa does not preclude pulse | 15:10 |
| zibri | *aptitude | 15:10 |
| webas | hi guys..anyone has notebooks? well i dont even see where to modify screen brightness | 15:10 |
| thiebaude | !jaunty | 15:10 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - UDS December 8th-12th in Mountain View, CA, USA - Jaunty doesn't even really exist yet, but join #ubuntu+1 for help and discussion. | 15:10 |
| rjune | alsa is the driver archetecture, pulse is a mixing daemon | 15:10 |
| badawi | rjune: zibri yes it is thanks | 15:10 |
| giganto | Halitech, yeah i guess, but if you can just capture the packets lying around, and if u know what to look for ... its good enough ?? I dunno much about hacking wireless, I have been trying to do it so that I can get some free wireless back where I stay cos its a pain in the ass to register for one/even be willing to pay for it I thought i'll just hack just to keep things simple lol | 15:10 |
| LjL | badawi: which is really not an "ncurses version of synaptic", as it's quite unrelated to synaptic, but yes, it's probably what you're looking for... | 15:10 |
| unb | Halitech: ok, i will that too. | 15:10 |
| Trinitrogen | Fresh install yesterday, suggestions for a MP3/FLAC player? | 15:10 |

| LjL | !players > Trinitrogen (Trinitrogen, see the private message from ubottu) | 15:11 |
| Halitech | rjune, huh? | 15:11 |
| cannonball | Thanks everybody. I prefer commandline over gui or even ncurses apps, so the fact that chkconfig and sysv-rc-conf can both do it from CLI works for me. Again, thanks to all. | 15:11 |
| Halitech | giganto, but then you run the risk of getting in trouble ;) | 15:11 |
| Samme | hello | 15:11 |
| rjune | Halitech, you said you didn't use pulse, you use alsa. they do two different things. alsa sits on top of the hardware, pulse sits on top of arts | 15:11 |
| giganto | Halitech, lol Im quite save, I know they don't know how to secure their wireless as well | 15:12 |
| shadowwulf | i have a machine, it goes into screensaver mode and when you come out of it, the desktop does not return, any suggestions | 15:12 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: nope... the thing is, even tho i get the end_request: Buffer I/O error in sector xxxxx from my sata dvd drive, the installer/live cd will finish loading up, but if you try to install to hard drive -or- use the option that writes the installer to usb stick, it bombs out with an error. wheni tried writing to usb stick and checked log file, it reported error #256 | 15:12 |
| Halitech | rjune, ok, if you say so, I don't recall seeing pulseaudio installed | 15:12 |
| rjune | you may not have it installed, it's not required. | 15:12 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: but you don't need to use the live CD to save to USB | 15:12 |
| Halitech | rjune, but then again I'll admit I've never gone digging to see it | 15:12 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: you can use several methods to do that from Debian, one of them is the program "unetbootin", there are others though | 15:13 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: but - it *will* still be the same thing as the live CD, mind, just running from USB | 15:13 |
| mib_a8eme5 | Ha | 15:13 |
| rjune | dpkg -s pulseaudio | 15:13 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: ah-ha! this is the kind of thing i beleive i am looking for, thank you! | 15:13 |
| roadfish | ZeroA4: ok, the operation is done and took around 3 hours. thanks again for your comments. | 15:14 |
| mib_a8eme5 | How do you make Ubuntu suck less? | 15:14 |
| rjune | mib_a8eme5, be more specific about your problems. | 15:14 |
| rjune | random ranting will get you nowhere | 15:14 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: note, i'm not particularly endorsing unetbootin, which is not an officially packaged application, and does ugly things such as calling "sudo" all by itself. it's just the only automated "live USB" makers that occurs to me. | 15:14 |
| nvidiahelp | mib_a8eme5 What are your problems? | 15:14 |
| LjL | mib_a8eme5: your question is very much generic. please ask specific questions. | 15:14 |
| Halitech | mib_a8eme5, if you don't like it there are other options out there, like windows | 15:15 |
| mib_a8eme5 | rjune: that is if you ignore that ranting in and of itself doesn't make someone feel better. | 15:15 |
| === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx | ||
| rjune | mib_a8eme5, I do. ranting may feel better temporarily, but does nothing to solve the underlying problem. | 15:15 |
| kaii | question regarding realtime sip peers.. what must i configure, so that asterisk re-reads a sip peer from the database? currently when a secret is changed in the database, asterisk does not recognise this change and the phone fails to register with the new secret. | 15:15 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: ok, understood. i will have a look at unetbootin. i really need some alternate method other than cd and have been wondering if there isn't something. thanks again | 15:15 |
| nvidiahelp | Anyone else having problems with 9000 nvidia cards and ubuntu 8.10? | 15:15 |
| Halitech | onetinsoldier, what about booting and installing from floppy? | 15:16 |
| thiebaude | mib_a8eme5: is there a problem we can help you with> | 15:16 |
| erisch | does anyone know if the load_cycle_count issue is solved in inteprid ibex? | 15:16 |
| rjune | kaii, I'm guessing, but doing a kill -1 on the asterisk pid *should* do what you want. | 15:16 |
| kaii | echan ^ | 15:16 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: another possibility would be to just change your repositories from Debian to Ubuntu, cross your fingers, and dist-upgrade, but that's *very* prone to not only failure, but what is worse, "limited success" (i.e. a system that sort-of-works but is full of problems) | 15:16 |
| kaii | rjune: wouldnt this reinitialize anything ? | 15:16 |
| Samme | Someone knows how ubuntu works on acer aspire one? | 15:16 |
| mib_a8eme5 | I mean overall, like I think you have ubuntu-studio. Is there any version like ubuntu-sucksless? I mean, who calls this a end user OS? Its ok to delude yourself for a while. But look at it. Aren't there enough problems to post a warning saying, beware this is development buggy software? | 15:17 |
| rjune | -1 is a hup, normally it tells the daemon to re-read it's config files. | 15:17 |
| j0sh | erish: didn't experience cycle count raising drastically since 8.04 | 15:17 |
| kaii | rjune: regarding asterisk, this is not a good idea. :) | 15:17 |
| rjune | kaii, asterisk has a cmd-line itself, and that probably has a way to do it. but I don't know what that is. | 15:17 |
| shadowwulf | i have a machine, it goes into screensaver mode and when you come out of it, the desktop does not return, any suggestions | 15:17 |
| archman | anyone experienced some problems with hardware and software by upgrading from gutsy to hardy (lts) ? | 15:17 |
| kaii | rjune: echan, wanted to post this question in #asterisk | 15:17 |
| rjune | hence I prefaced my statement with I'm guesing | 15:17 |
| kaii | :) | 15:17 |
| onetinsoldier | Halitech: is there such a method? i know there used to be. however, lately it looked to me as if Debian dropped the floppy netinst do to --> recent kernels being too big to fit on floppy netinst installer. does ubuntu have a floppy installer for 8.10? is so, where might i get it? | 15:17 |
| nvidiahelp | mib_a8eme5 what do you mean? it is pretty stable. Like all os's that you install yoursefl you should check that your hardware is up to snuff | 15:18 |

| n8tuser | cannonball-> i dont recommend upgrading unless you have really a good reason you have to upgrade | 15:22 |

| nvidiahelp | cannonball why are you on 7.10 | 15:22 |
| Appiah | Paw or Vesa? | 15:23 |
| rjune | cannonball, follow the instructions on their website. | 15:23 |
| Paw | appiah: Basically it hates my graphics card, and yes i was running the driver, but forced to take it off because my computer kept crashing | 15:23 |
| kaii | rjune: theres no reason to excuse, you gave me a good tip :) | 15:23 |

| ubottu | coky: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:26 |
| cannonball | Heh, could not calculate the upgrade. So I'll dig a bit. | 15:26 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, in theory you could "disable" the port by rebuilding your kernel without that driver. | 15:26 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune: i thinks there is a keyboard issue, /var/log/message is growing again and again | 15:26 |
| shadowwulf | hateball, so its a compiz issue yet again ? | 15:27 |
| Ximal | Hi guys ... I can't seem to get phpmyadmin to work by going to 127.0.0.1 i get a file not found error :( | 15:27 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, what's the error in messages? | 15:27 |
| coky | yeh...u di mna | 15:27 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune : no easier way ? | 15:27 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, not that I know of | 15:27 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune : stuff like Dec 11 16:34:36 luxin kernel: [17187385.200000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xc4 on isa0060/serio0). | 15:27 |
| Arnaud1 | Dec 11 16:34:36 luxin kernel: [17187385.200000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e044 <keycode>' to make it known. | 15:27 |
| coky | hi.... | 15:27 |
| hateball | shadowwulf❄ Well I havent had it myself, so I'd go with what kaii says. Altho... for me it works normally, occasionally it wont display the password dialog to let me return to desktop, so I have to kill gnome-screensaver | 15:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Halitech: ok, roger. thank you all the same | 15:28 |
| inzi85 | hi coky | 15:28 |
| coky | emmm... | 15:28 |
| shadowwulf | hateball, kaii, ok thanks guys | 15:29 |
| simplexio | Arnaud1: that sounds easy to fix. | 15:29 |
| J2daosh | did we just have a kernel update in the last day or so? | 15:29 |
| Arnaud1 | simplexio:tell me | 15:29 |
| inzi85 | does anyone know why, sometimes when i plug in a pendrive.. and even after running sudo nautilus.. i can't seem to delete files off the pendrive | 15:29 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | could someone please walk me through this f$#@$n nfs stuff.:( im putting my all into it and not getting anything back | 15:29 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.html | 15:29 |
| simplexio | Arnaud1: hint. you pasted answer | 15:29 |
| mphill | inzi85: maybe hardware failure | 15:30 |
| J2daosh | rookeeee what is the issue? | 15:30 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | i keep on running into a problem when i need to mount something | 15:30 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, loadkeys keyboard disable would do it. | 15:30 |
| inzi85 | mphill.. hardware failure? like how? | 15:30 |
| J2daosh | and that problem is what? | 15:30 |
| t3rror | nm: i found it linux-source | 15:30 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, second line, says use "blah" to make it known. | 15:30 |
| dsandage | is there anyone here that can help me with setting up a postfix/dovecot mail server? | 15:30 |
| rjune | aka map the key | 15:31 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | it ranges from many things | 15:31 |
| mphill | inzi85: flash drives are only good for so many read / writes then they start to die. | 15:31 |
| inzi85 | ahhh ic ic | 15:31 |
| J2daosh | ok... being vague isn't going to help me help you... so pick an error and give it to me | 15:31 |
| inzi85 | mphill : thanks.. | 15:31 |
| mphill | inzi85: if you can not reproduce with another usb drive I would said the thumb drive is end of life | 15:31 |
| inzi85 | oh | 15:32 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | http://paste.ubuntu.com/83998/ | 15:32 |
| mphill | inzi85: personaly the only time that happens if with a linux file system on the usb drive and you don't have permissions | 15:32 |
| bouazza | Hello ! | 15:32 |
| inzi85 | mphill :yah.. but i gave it permissions.. i mean i ran nautilus with sudo.. | 15:32 |
| bouazza | Can someone here help me with a Xorg problem ? | 15:32 |
| olskolirc | are backports safe to use? | 15:32 |
| J2daosh | thats because your mounting wrong | 15:33 |
| J2daosh | you cant mount a network computer, you can however mount a network share | 15:33 |
| LjL | olskolirc: less safe than the main repositories, but they're generally pretty safe, mostly because only end-user applications that aren't dependencies of anything are in there | 15:33 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | why cant i mount the entire computer? | 15:33 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune:don't understand | 15:33 |
| J2daosh | because you cant | 15:33 |
| J2daosh | only a share | 15:33 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | can i mount a drive | 15:34 |
| j0sh | mphill, inzi85: I had the same problem sometimes, but I have faulty USB connectors and it remounts the flash drive a few times ocasionally. Then files are "locked". Comes back to normal after next mount tho... | 15:34 |
| olskolirc | oh ok thanks LjL what is an example of something that is in backports | 15:34 |
| LjL | rookeeeeeeeee: if it's shared | 15:34 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, I linked to a page that I think has the instructions to disable the keyboard | 15:34 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune: what do you mean by blah ? | 15:34 |
| kubuc | after an update yesterday KsystemLog does not start up anymore, i have only a tray icon for 20 seconds wich the disapears, what could be wrong? | 15:34 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | oh i have to "share" it | 15:34 |
| bouazza | I've installed the xorg packages from xorg-edgers | 15:34 |
| LjL | olskolirc: everything at http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/ or at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/ | 15:34 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | now i get it | 15:34 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, Your two lines that you pasted say a key was pressed and I don't know what it is. do this to tell me what it is. | 15:34 |
| obhk___ | hi, when I open scanned books as pdf in evince, it often takes all my memory and freezes all so in the end I have to restart my pc | 15:35 |
| t3rror | is there a decent way to search available packages through apt-get? i prefer command line over gui | 15:35 |
| J2daosh | so share out your c:\, then do 'sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.3/share_name /mount/point' | 15:35 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | thanks | 15:35 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | a lot | 15:35 |
| obhk___ | could there be a solution to this? | 15:35 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune : i tried this command but it does not work | 15:35 |
| bouazza | My glxgears FPS increased from 400 to 900 on my Intel 965GM card | 15:35 |
| bouazza | but | 15:35 |
| LjL | obhk___: using another PDF reader that doesn't cache everything into memory might be a solution | 15:35 |
| kubuc | t3rror, aptitude search [foo] | 15:35 |
| obhk___ | LjL: any suggestions? | 15:35 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, which command? | 15:35 |
| dsandage | fatal: parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout: bad time value or unit; 3600a | 15:35 |
| bouazza | my keyboard is not correctly detected, it's in qwerty and some keys dont work as expected | 15:35 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune : setkeycodes e044 0xc4 | 15:35 |
| dsandage | fatal: parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout: bad time value or unit: 3600a | 15:35 |
| LjL | obhk___: well, i'm a KDE user so i use KPDF, but that's probably not the best idea on GNOME. let me look | 15:35 |
| t3rror | kubuc: thx | 15:35 |
| inzi85 | ahh thanks josh | 15:36 |
| dsandage | any idea what that indicates? | 15:36 |
| J2daosh | my nic card/wireless card just disappeared after a reboot. it sees that i have an eth card, but no wireless card. wtf happened? | 15:36 |
| bouazza | So, how can I reconfigure my laptop keyboard ? Thanks | 15:36 |
| inzi85 | happens to mee sumtimes too | 15:36 |
| kubuc | t3rror, also handy apt-file to search a file within all packages available | 15:36 |
| Paw | Quick question, Hardy has a bunch of solutions for ati radeon graphics cards, is there a way to downground to hardy from ibex? | 15:36 |
| j0sh | inzi85: try remounting if files weren't locked earlier. I described my situation with both fat32 and etx filesystems... | 15:37 |
| bouazza | Paw, yes but you will break your X | 15:37 |
| rjune | Arnaud1, ah, ok. I would look through the URL then and see if you can disable it completely | 15:37 |
| t3rror | kubuc: i will grab it also, thx | 15:37 |
| inzi85 | Josh: thaks | 15:37 |
| LjL | obhk___: epdfview uses the same backend as evince (which may easily mean it gets the same issue). you could always try plain old xpdf, i guess | 15:37 |
| j0sh | inzi85: no problem, hope that works :D | 15:37 |
| Paw | bouazza: what you mean? | 15:37 |
| Casperov | i really have to delete ubuntu....but for some reason...i cant delete the bootloader.....i do not have a windows cd...i have those stupid acer recovery disks that do not allow me to fixmbr!! please help | 15:38 |
| obhk___ | LjL: thanks for the help | 15:38 |
| Oli`` | How can I find out which app is bound to a certain port? | 15:38 |
| Arnaud1 | rjune:ok | 15:38 |
| inzi85 | josh: nxt time my friend comes over i shall check it out | 15:38 |
| Oli`` | I'm trying to get postfix working but there's something bound to p25 already | 15:38 |
| t3rror | kubuc: i am coming from a background in gentoo, just using ubuntu for boxee, but this thing is bloated | 15:38 |
| mphill | Oli``: man lsof | 15:38 |
| t3rror | going to try and lean it up a little | 15:38 |
| inzi85 | Josh ": i'm very new to ubuntu.. using it for only about 6 - 7months.. so.. i'm not really good at it | 15:38 |
| kubuc | t3rror, yes, i use debian myself most of the time | 15:38 |
| inzi85 | Josh : do u know how to use the dvb-utils? | 15:38 |
| bouazza | Paw, the xserver-xorg-core from Ibex will not support the Ati/nvidia drivers from Hardy | 15:38 |
| mphill | Oli``: or try to telnet to it, maybe it will tell you | 15:38 |
| Halitech | Casperov, look into super grub | 15:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Oli``: the lsof command should show that. i'm not really familiar with it tho, so look at the man page for it | 15:39 |
| mphill | Oli``: telnet localhost 25 | 15:39 |
| Casperov | Halitech: wat does this super grub do? | 15:39 |
| badawi | !acroread | 15:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acroread | 15:39 |
| j0sh | inzi85: I use it for about two years now, but I'm still a begginer.. lots to learn and no time... | 15:39 |
| onetinsoldier | ahh, i see was too slow :-0 | 15:39 |
| Oli`` | "ESMTP Citadel server ready" =\ | 15:39 |
| Paw | bouazza: No I am saying, is there a way to downgrade to hardy, instead of using ibex.. | 15:39 |
| badawi | !acrobat | 15:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat | 15:39 |
| LjL | obhk___: you may also want to file a bug against Evince (it would be interesting to try epdfview and see if there's the same problem - in which case, the bug should be filed against Poppler, i guess) | 15:40 |
| LjL | !fishing | badawi | 15:40 |
| ubottu | badawi: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 15:40 |
| SlimeyPete | Paw: as a rule, you can't downgrade - you need to find a Hardy CD and install fresh | 15:40 |
| dam0-away | !install psybnc | 15:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about install psybnc | 15:40 |

| inzi85 | josh : ahh ok no problem. | 15:40 |
| Halitech | Casperov, my understanding is it will allow you to restore the windows mbr | 15:40 |
| Paw | slimey: ah I see, well do you think its worth it? or should i just wait for ati to fix it for ibex? | 15:40 |
| LjL | dam0-away: psybnc is not available in the repositories, however a few other bouncers are | 15:40 |
| inzi85 | josh : i need to find someone who does.. i hate rebooting in to windows all the time.. haha | 15:40 |

| Photoguy | Ok, here is the pastebin for sources.list: | 15:56 |
| crayzee | sketch_, you can probably bypass it by extracting the URL from the source code. | 15:56 |
| Photoguy | http://pastebin.com/m43c5e2ae | 15:56 |
| sketch_ | crayzee how can I get the url for the video ? | 15:56 |
| === alessandro_ is now known as KiNgOfKiLlEr91 | ||
| crayzee | sketch_, but obviously thats a PITA. I'd just boycott the site ;) | 15:56 |
| sketch_ | its not for me its for people that use these computers | 15:57 |
| inzi85 | josh : moving to ubuntu from windows was the best thing that happend to me. .haha.. i've run a virtual box before.. it seemed towork pretty smooth.. although i think had better get myself a another RAM | 15:57 |
| nks_ | Do anyone know how to use vidalia ? | 15:57 |
| Halitech | sketch_, view - page source | 15:57 |
| saurabh | i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system | 15:57 |
| sketch_ | if it was me i would and actually do boycott the site | 15:57 |
| sketch_ | halitech ok so I get the url now where do i put it ? | 15:58 |
| Halitech | sketch_, use wget to download them | 15:58 |
| LjL | Photoguy: just remove the last line and add « deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free » instead | 15:58 |
| drowned | so anyone have a solution to my permissions problem? | 15:58 |
| bcardarella_ | I install git with apt-get install but I don't seem to have access to git itself. I try the git command and I get 'command not found' | 15:58 |
| sketch_ | wget in terminal | 15:58 |
| Paw | drowned: version of windows? | 15:58 |
| Halitech | sketch_, yes | 15:58 |
| bcardarella_ | So I tried to reinstall and I was told it is already at the newest version | 15:58 |
| sketch_ | k | 15:58 |
| saurabh | i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system | 15:58 |
| bcardarella_ | Any ideas? | 15:58 |
| sketch_ | i'll try it | 15:58 |
| Photoguy | But, I want to include non free. | 15:59 |
| sketch_ | saurabh open the audio and make sure the internal volume is not muted | 15:59 |
| Halitech | sketch_, might work in vlc as well with the open url option | 15:59 |
| sketch_ | that happened to me on one pc | 15:59 |
| j0sh | inzi85: of course I meant Virtualbox running great :) And the same with me - I've tried Linux a loooong time ago, and found it hard to use. But when I found Ubuntu I switched almost instantly | 15:59 |
| crayzee | sketch_, you'd have to read the JS to find the URLs I'm afraid - its not obvious. | 15:59 |
| sketch_ | did you see any ? | 15:59 |
| sketch_ | ill try | 15:59 |
| saurabh | no it is not muted | 15:59 |
| sketch_ | open the audio so you see 4 audio volumes | 16:00 |
| sketch_ | not just one | 16:00 |
| LjL | bcardarella_: if that's Git the revision control system that you're looking for, then "git" isn't the right package for that. the package "git" contains the "GNU Interactive Tools" collection | 16:00 |
| saurabh | i see three audio volumes | 16:00 |
| Photoguy | LJL: I want to include the non free apps. | 16:00 |
| bcardarella_ | LjL: ah, lol | 16:00 |
| LjL | bcardarella_: you probably want the "git-core" package | 16:00 |
| mha | noone has some good suggestion for the issue? | 16:00 |
| sketch_ | click device and check each one | 16:01 |
| LjL | Photoguy: and what makes you think that the line that i gave you won't achieve that? | 16:01 |
| bcardarella_ | LjL: cool, thanks | 16:01 |
| j0sh | inzi85: and I also think about getting more RAM lately.. systems' getting messy and quite slow, can't run few heavy things at the same time (eg. Opera and Virtualbox)... | 16:01 |
| Photoguy | Oh, I thought it said non free.. | 16:01 |
| mha | mk. fsck it then. | 16:01 |
| Photoguy | Maybe I'm just a dumb newbie. | 16:01 |
| Photoguy | :P | 16:01 |
| LjL | Photoguy: err yes, it says "free non-free", so that means it will include free apps, and non-free apps | 16:01 |
| Photoguy | Ok, gotcha. | 16:01 |
| Photoguy | :) | 16:01 |

| Photoguy | @LjL umm, how can I make it to allow me to save it? | 16:03 |
| Photoguy | I tried gksudo natulis | 16:03 |
| LjL | Photoguy: you need to open it with "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list". | 16:03 |
| LjL | Photoguy: nautilus isn't a text editor. | 16:03 |
| Photoguy | Oh | 16:03 |
| Halitech | Photoguy, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:03 |
| Halitech | Photoguy, will give you rights to edit and then save the file | 16:04 |

| j0sh | oh guys, anybody experiencing ocasional closing of Opera when closing a tab? Happens to me sometimes and veeeery often to my girlfriend, tells me everyday to do something about it... Anyone? | 16:04 |
| pim_ | I wish to completely remove a package. Therefore I did sudo apt-get --purge remove pidgin. Then I reinstalled, but it remembered my email adress and password. I wish to completely delete all it's data, how do I do that? | 16:04 |
| aadil | j0sh, memory problems? | 16:05 |
| LjL | pim_: there is no standard way to do that. its user-specific data will be contained in your home directory, and APT never touches that. a likely guess is the directory $HOME/.programname | 16:05 |
| saurabh | i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system | 16:05 |

| * Paw is freshly installing Ibex, because it hates his ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card...and continues to cry | 16:05 | |
| j0sh | aadil: can't be, although I didn't do a memtest | 16:05 |
| LjL | pim_: but if it's a GNOME program, then its settings might be stored in gconf. | 16:05 |
| === gioele_ is now known as crik91_2 | ||
| crik91_2 | hi | 16:05 |
| aadil | j0sh, well it can also be a network problem | 16:05 |
| pim_ | LjL where is gconf stored? | 16:06 |
| aadil | have u tried support.opera.com (they have a nice site btw) | 16:06 |
| Halitech | archman, as long as the kernel info is still showing in grub you can | 16:06 |
| aadil | ? | 16:06 |
| Radbrad | anyone like metal music? | 16:06 |
| aadil | coz am afraid i dont know what could be wrong | 16:06 |
| LjL | pim_: gconf is a set of hierarchical XML files. you can edit it with the "gconf-editor" program. | 16:06 |
| saurabh | i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system | 16:06 |

| bullgard4 | LjL: Yes. -- Thank you very much. | 16:06 |

| LjL | archman: in theory you can, but in practice there might be incompatibilities between hardy and the gutsy kernel. also, i don't really know whether the updater might automatically remove the gutsy kernel. | 16:07 |
| codeblue | hey all, Im trying to install my nvidia MX/MX 400 on ubuntu 8.10 but I keeps giving me an error when I restart X saying nvidia module not found, I have it working on nv drivers but I need to use the propriety ones | 16:08 |
| LjL | crik91_2: you might also want to try #ubuntu-it for support in italian | 16:08 |
| archman | i'm better to stay with gutsy... | 16:08 |
| saurabh | i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system | 16:08 |

| rpfaff | im running dual monitors but my background is stretching across both of them as if it were one computer? can i disable this? | 16:08 |
| LjL | archman: you could always try out a Hardy live CD to make sure its kernel works on your system. | 16:08 |
| codeblue | yeah I tryed that | 16:08 |
| drowned | codeblue: try synaptics package maneger then and manually adding the nvidia 177 files | 16:09 |
| crik91_2 | LjL, in Italian community they can't help me...I have said any times coming here! | 16:09 |
| dowN70 | can anyone help me install hamachi | 16:09 |
| j0sh | badawi: thanks. I visited this channel just of curiousity, stayed here as you see :) thought someone might have the same problem or solved it already.

| amerinese | hi i'm sort of new with the ubuntu command line... coming from a windows background... could someone explain to be how i might select all characters from the cursorback to the beginning of a line? and why should SHIFT+UP result in garbage characters? | 16:10 |
| crik91_2 | nobody has been able to solve my problem in two months searches! | 16:11 |
| archman | LjL: probably works, that means not much to me, i demand from new kernel to work with all my apps, especially jackd, so it's like i want to upgrade just to be supported, but my software and hardware setup to remain untouched | 16:11 |
| drowned | amerin: you could just use the mouse | 16:11 |
| saurabh | i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system | 16:11 |
| LjL | amerinese: to select characters, you need to use the mouse. shift+up doesn't really do anything useful in the shell (unless your terminal emulator maps it to something) | 16:11 |
| n8tuser | amerinese-> using a mouse? or you meant via a bash command | 16:11 |
| codeblue | All nvidia-96 are installed | 16:11 |
| drowned | those are the old ones | 16:12 |
| drowned | try installing the 177 ones | 16:12 |
| codeblue | thats the one my card uses | 16:12 |
| LjL | archman: jackd does need the rt kernel, i believe | 16:12 |
| codeblue | others are not compatible | 16:12 |
| badawi | amerinese: which command line? in gnome-terminal or ctrl+alt+f1 thing? | 16:12 |
| Paw | I have an ATI Radeon 9600 i just fresh installed what shall i do so my computer doesnt go boom. | 16:12 |
| drowned | not compatible how so? | 16:12 |
| archman | LjL: right | 16:12 |
| amerinese | yeah, i meant actually SHIFT+HOME i think, but obviously that doesn't work either; the mouse is a way, i was wondering if there were different shortcuts | 16:12 |
| amerinese | gnome-terminal | 16:12 |
| crik91_2 | LjL, what should I do? | 16:12 |
| archman | LjL: no no no it doesn't need | 16:12 |
| [TiZ] | What can I do to recolor gtk hyperlinks for dark themes? | 16:12 |
| codeblue | say no card found | 16:12 |
| codeblue | only picks up with 96 | 16:13 |
| archman | LjL: i don't have it, and i don't have heavy latency | 16:13 |
| badawi | amerinese: highlight with mouse to copy, and middle mouse button to paste | 16:13 |
| LjL | amerinese: no, there aren't. the shell and the terminal emulator are two different things. the terminal emulator *might* map some keys to do things (like selecting text), but it usually doesn't because it can't know whether a program running in it will need those keys for itself | 16:13 |
| hoang | l | 16:13 |
| drowned | try installing envyng | 16:14 |
| amerinese | badawi: okay, gotcha, sorta thinking there might be shortcuts that were different from other things i'm used to | 16:14 |
| allsystemsarego | Which Debian is Ubuntu based on? lenny or sid? | 16:14 |
| almark1 | Hello, I was told yesterday to install EnvyNG to my ubuntu 8.10, but after I did Xorg didn't work anymore, does anyone know how to fix this, I don't know what EnvyNg did so I can't fix it. | 16:14 |
| crik91_2 | LjL: what should I do? | 16:14 |
| badawi | amerinese: FYI for ctrl+alt+f1 you need the gpm package to be installed | 16:14 |
| codeblue | it said operating system not supported | 16:14 |
| LjL | crik91_2: i'm sorry but i don't think i know. but have you checked your mixer carefully? i suppose so. | 16:14 |

| maveric | Hey all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and am having trouble setting up my comp to use the correct driver for a gigabyte geforce 8600 gt. I think I've got the right driver installed, but my resoulution is set to really lose (640x something, i think). Any ideas how to help? I've tried editing xorg.conf to a higher res, but no luck | 16:30 |
| badawi | HURFS: by default it's "quiet splash" instead of vga=795 | 16:30 |
| drowned | maveric: did you try the nvidia control panel from administrations | 16:30 |
| drowned | this is fun...like a giant conversation | 16:31 |
| dekkong | crik91_2: I only see the chat window :) | 16:31 |
| HURFS | badawi: thanks | 16:31 |
| Sniper606 | I notice I have these processes running associated with the evolution email client. I don't use evolution therefore I don't need them starting on startup. How do I make them not start up? | 16:31 |
| crik91_2 | dekkong: I'm sorry: http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1vz1.png | 16:31 |
| maveric | drowned: I've tried going to that, and it asks me to run nvidia-xconfig, which does nothing. | 16:31 |
| drowned | that means you don't have the drivers properly installed | 16:31 |
| inzi85 | rpfaff.. have you installed the restricted driver on ubuntu for ur nvidia card | 16:31 |
| badawi | HURFS: also root=UUID should be your disk UUID as per /dev/disk/by-uuid | 16:31 |
| drowned | did you install them via the hardware properties control panel item | 16:31 |
| drowned | or did you use synaptic | 16:32 |
| maveric | Synaptic | 16:32 |
| drowned | yeah goto the hardware properties item | 16:32 |
| drowned | and enable the nvidia ones | 16:32 |
| maveric | I had this problem last time I installed Ubuntu, but don't have an idea abotu what I did | 16:32 |
| drowned | system>administration>hardware devices or whatever | 16:32 |
| rpfaff | inzi85: yeah | 16:32 |
| maveric | drowned: when I go to hardware drivers, Nvidia isn't listed. Grr | 16:32 |
| drowned | what synaptic packages did you install? | 16:32 |
| maveric | drowned: nvidia-glx-new | 16:33 |
| drowned | i had this problem too but it turned out i needed to activate them from the hardware item after i synapticed them | 16:33 |
| Sniper606 | anyone? | 16:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Sniper606: you probably have evolution-common starting up. have a look at the man page for update-rc.d | 16:33 |
| inzi85 | rpfaff.. | 16:33 |
| Sniper606 | ok thanks | 16:33 |

| destuxor | maveric: I know this is going to sound silly, but did you reboot it after installing the driver through Synaptic? | 16:33 |
| rpfaff | inzi85: idunno, im confused, it works on just my laptop, but cant get it to work on second monitor | 16:34 |

| endgamer | Hi. Is there a dedicated IRC channel for sound questions? | 16:36 |
| crik91_2 | dekkong: you saw the screenshot? | 16:37 |
| maveric | drowned: there's no 177 in there | 16:37 |
| drowned | maveric: just search "nvidia" | 16:37 |
| destuxor | maveric: I'm a little interested in that apt-get didn't find nvidia-glx-177 --- I'm thinking you need to update Synaptic but I don't remember the command | 16:37 |
| drowned | and it should show up as nvidia-glx-177 in the list | 16:37 |
| maveric | sudo apt-get update I think.. will try now | 16:37 |
| Halitech | destuxor, sudp apt-get update | 16:38 |
| Halitech | *sudo | 16:38 |
| drowned | if you don't see it then you need to update your repositories | 16:38 |
| inzi85 | rfaff.. sorry dude.. i wasn't much help | 16:38 |
| destuxor | Halitech: thank you, it's been a while | 16:38 |
| maveric | After updating, still no glx-177 | 16:38 |
| rpfaff | inzi85: np;) | 16:38 |
| Halitech | destuxor, no problem :) | 16:38 |

| p1und3r | strange right? | 16:39 |
| destuxor | drowned: I remember having to do that years ago, but I just installed Ubuntu yesterday and it didn't force me to do that (maybe I clicked OK on a dialog box without reading it). | 16:39 |
| p1und3r | is it from their update? | 16:39 |
| drowned | no it's just the drivers getting shut down in a weird way p1un | 16:40 |

| mib_n3mj30pq | rdesktop -y works, but another doesnt works | 16:51 |
| endgamer | subnus: Even if btnx doesn't identify the mouse automatically, you should still be able to map the buttons one by one. | 16:52 |
| almark | :drowned is it important to update ubuntu with the updates that popup do I really have to? | 16:52 |
| drowned | i personally would | 16:52 |
| drowned | more likely to fix than break | 16:52 |
| emoncrieff | anyone have any advice on slooooow dim under 8.10, which doesn't seem to happen on 8.04? | 16:52 |

| HURFS | should i point the grub towards vmlinuz and initrd.img in the root folder or the ones in /boot that have generic appended to the names? | 16:52 |
| endgamer | subnus: I have the same mouse, and I was able to identify each button in the mapping screens by pressing them, then map them to commands, even though it didn't actually identify the mouse. | 16:52 |

| netzwurm | drowned: yes. i am aware. she really likes books though. | 16:57 |
| Quagmire | I'd like to ask a question or two | 16:57 |
| drowned | let it out quagmire | 16:57 |
| destuxor | reenignEesreveR: your bash shell has changed color because you inadvertantly deleted the 'dotfiles' (hidden files that start with a '.') that were in your home folder. | 16:57 |

| emoncrieff | I take, from the silence, that no-one has ever seen anything like this. So I should probably file a bug. | 16:59 |
| drowned | you have to do it as root user down70 | 16:59 |

| danielbw | hi. I have the latest catalyst drivers, 8.12 installed on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 for amd64. I bought two ATI FireGL V3600's so I can stretch one big desktop across four monitors. I am only able to setup two big desktops: one per gpu, but with two screens each. | 17:03 |

| Nalleman | hi, does anyone know any way to convert a DWG (autocad file) to DXF (common CAD file)? | 17:32 |
| j_xinudsb | is .bash_history | 17:32 |
| LjL | dennisv, the bash history *is* the history of the commands you typed. nothing more nothing less. | 17:32 |
| dennisv | I installed Xubuntu-desktop (sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop), now I want to delete everything related to Xubuntu, so I tried sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop, but this only removed this specific thing | 17:33 |
| j_xinudsb | or less .bash_history | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nalleman I have done that.. but dont remember what I used... gimp can read dxf if I remember correctly | 17:33 |
| destuxor | Coregrl: just googling I found this: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.html | 17:33 |
| LjL | dennisv: try sudo apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop | 17:33 |
| destuxor | Coregrl: I'm thinking the easiest thing to do would be to capture the input as it comes and drop it into a file | 17:33 |

| scotty2 | Good evening : I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me with this installation problem : halfway through (after partitioning) installing 8.10 from the AMD64 alternate I get a 'Media change' message & am told to insert the CD (which is already inserted) | 17:34 |
| LjL | dennisv: (also, perhaps you should have asked your real question in the first place ;) | 17:34 |
| crik91 | dekkong: I don't understand...From yesterday I have: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:34 |
| dennisv | LjL, indeed :) | 17:34 |

| ffej2ffej | (2nd time) When I send an email message from my PHP scripts, it works if I send to my cell phone, but not if I send to my hotmail or gmail accounts. I tried mailq and it told me all the unsuccessful messages were "frozen." I tried to unfreeze them and could not. Any help? | 17:35 |
| dekkong | crik91: but brb | 17:35 |
| jim_p | scotty2, what do you do and it does so? like... what action causes this effect | 17:35 |
| scotty2 | j_xinudsb yes I checked both those things thanks | 17:35 |
| LjL | dennisv: if that command fails, there still is a way to see a list of packages you installed, if they were installed recently, namely: grep install /var/log/dpkg.log | 17:35 |

| jim_p | scotty2, md5summed the iso? burned on low speed? | 17:37 |
| destuxor | Coregrl: ok I'm not having much luck with this, but you can do stuff ilke that with the mouse (sudo cat /dev/input/mice) so I sdon't see why you can't do that with the keyboard. | 17:37 |
| scotty2 | j_xinudsb : Also, I've tried various different boot parameters | 17:37 |

| Quagmire | Jack_Sparrow I know that millions do, but I've heard crazy stuff about using it with vist home prem | 17:57 |
| jim_p | flink, actually it depends on the hardware and the de and the setup you have on both | 17:57 |

| xEPx | I have a quick question... | 17:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | flink and it depends on what you are runing, If you mean Windows games.. no | 17:58 |
| jim_p | flink, my linux boots in 30 seconds, and i am on the xp desktop in 20. the only program i run is the windows sound thing on the tray | 17:58 |

| flink | is it possible to run ubunto on a cd to tryit ? | 17:59 |
| noiz | dunno | 17:59 |
| jim_p | noiz, no. windows cannot install itself from an iso. this is advance linux stuff = space technology for windows | 17:59 |
| LjL | ortsvorsteher: parallel system? quicker? what are you talking about? | 17:59 |
| xEPx | If I plan on installing ubuntu in plans to dual boot, do I partiiton my HDD before I load ubuntu or does ubuntu have a built in partitioning program? | 17:59 |
| noiz | im a noob on linux so i dont know howto do it,but how can i do it then? | 17:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | flink yes, the cd runs in live mode without installing to your drive | 17:59 |
| jim_p | flink, yes. ubuntu and 90 percent of the linux distros come on a live cd | 17:59 |
| noiz | somone told me on wine it is possible to install it whithout having a cd..and im on linux atm | 18:00 |
| ortsvorsteher | LjL: it was for flink, he asked something about. | 18:00 |

| bazhang | webas, you dont need synaptic package manager for that | 18:48 |
| hmw_ | badawi if the checksums differ, i can imagine the following reasons: one version of your cds is corrupted (either damaged or intentionally), so i guess there were really two different versions, and you got the older one | 18:48 |

| sunny | Hey peeps, I'm an experienced windows user who is running my first ubuntu machine. and I've got a problem | 19:03 |
| j_xinudsb | ok, we'll chat later | 19:03 |
| danub | exit | 19:03 |
| drowned | go for broke sunny | 19:03 |
| dbm | LjL: ok my apologize. | 19:03 |
| white_eagle | I need help, problems with drivers after upgrade http://pastebin.com/m4eea7d9d | 19:04 |
| snirp | How dangerous is it to remove "gcc-4.3-base" (sudo apt-get remove gcc-4.3-base) | 19:04 |
| snirp | The warning seems severe.... | 19:04 |
| sunny | When I run youtube videos in FF, the program hangs. | 19:04 |
| sunny | The same things happens in epiphany | 19:04 |
| LjL | snirp, i do believe that having some shape of compiler installed is really pretty necessary | 19:04 |
| sunny | I've installed all the flash plugins for FF, but it still happens. | 19:04 |
| snirp | LjL: planning to reinstall it directly afterwards | 19:05 |
| sunny | I haven't been prompted to install plugins for epiphany, and the flash did load, it just made the prog hang | 19:05 |
| Datz | Hello, only have ssh access to my system with ubuntu, and want to download and istall the latest updates, is this link the correct one to follow? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11103 | 19:05 |
| LjL | snirp: well, i don't know, what's the warning exactly? i think for instance that gcc is needed to start X (as weird as that seems) | 19:05 |
| drowned | what plugin specifically did you install sunny | 19:05 |
| snirp | hold on | 19:05 |
| drowned | cause i found that youtube only works with the nonfree one | 19:05 |
| LjL | snirp: i'm on Hardy so i don't even have that package flavor | 19:06 |
| luca__ | hi everyone | 19:06 |
| FreddyKrueger | when i do john -incremental=All --stdout | aircrack-ng -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -w - test.cap aircrack doesnt get anything from the stdout why? | 19:06 |
| snirp | LjL http://paste.ubuntu.com/84064/ | 19:06 |
| MoLoot_ | I noticed that when I upgraded to intrepid, that some myspace and youtube videos aren't working.. what package do I need? | 19:06 |
| LjL | snirp: ugh, no, you can't do that. it will remove APT. | 19:07 |
| sunny | Drowned: Showave Flash 9.0.r999 and same gnash | 19:07 |
| DASPRiD | hi there. i have a problem: just replaced my geforce 8800gt with 2 geforce 9800gt. after that, the xserver didnt start (gave me the error "no devices found". i installed the newest nvidia drivers, but that didnt help | 19:07 |
| snirp | LjL: somebody seems to have done it: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-953169.html | 19:07 |
| drowned | sunny: you can only have 1 plugin installed at a time | 19:07 |
| snirp | LjL: dpkg not an option? Sorry newbe... | 19:07 |
| drowned | if you have nonfree flash installed then you can't have nash installed | 19:07 |
| LjL | FreddyKrueger: where in that command line did you *tell* aircrack to read from stdin? | 19:07 |
| LjL | snirp: no, because dpkg is also slated for removal in that warning | 19:08 |
| LjL | snirp: what is it that you're attempting to do, anyway? | 19:08 |
| sunny | I don't know what to say, I'm looking in the Add-ons window --> plugins, and that's what I read, 2 entries. | 19:08 |
| drowned | oh i understand sunny | 19:08 |

| sunny | k | 19:09 |
| sunny | what am I looking for? | 19:09 |
| drowned | now just type gnash into the quick search | 19:09 |
| snirp | LjL: shot myself in the foot by trying to update against "debian experimental". Trying to fix all. This package is on my system, but it is wrong version, so other packages won't install. | 19:09 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: hi. i beleive i got the 8.10 installer onto my usb stick with unetbootin, but i was wondering if you could help me for a minute if you not too busy(but you look kinda bust atm). i reckon i need to be able to boot from the stick now. | 19:09 |
| LjL | freeman: ah whoops, i looked but i missed the hyphen anyway | 19:09 |
| drowned | i assume its installed with a green box next to its name | 19:09 |
| LjL | snirp: oh... erm, good luck. | 19:09 |
| woden_ | snirp: No you got that backwards: Ubuntu is like Debian ;) | 19:10 |
| LjL | snirp: (how about you reinstall and save yourself some time?) | 19:10 |
| onetinsoldier | snirp: man, just reinstall | 19:10 |
| sunny | yes, I've got gnash, gnash-common, and mozilla-plugin-gnash | 19:10 |
| drowned | ok click the main gnash one and say mark for removal | 19:10 |
| drowned | it should also remove the other ones you mentioned then | 19:10 |
| meadow | bummer, that in 2008 power management is just ignored | 19:10 |
| snirp | LjL, onetinsoldier: Oh boy. One package ruining my system. Well, will try to uninstall it anyway... | 19:11 |
| woden_ | onetinsoldier: No manual entry for just | 19:11 |
| woden_ | No manual entry for reinstall | 19:11 |
| woden_ | just kidding hehe. | 19:11 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 19:11 |
| sunny | It didn't mark gnash-common | 19:11 |
| sunny | but the other 2 are now marked for removal | 19:11 |
| kbrosnan | sunny: you need to uninstall all those flash versions and install flash non-free | 19:11 |
| onetinsoldier | snirp: it's just one package? what is the package? | 19:11 |
| drowned | ok now search nonfree | 19:11 |
| drowned | it should pull up the flash one | 19:11 |
| onetinsoldier | snirp: apt? | 19:11 |
| snirp | onetinsoldier: gcc-4.3-base | 19:12 |
| meadow | i install kde-icons-crystal and it depends on konsole and kwrite. insane. | 19:12 |
| sunny | drowned: ok, removed | 19:12 |
| sunny | searching nonfree | 19:12 |
| dbm | Im off,bye people. | 19:12 |
| snirp | onetinsoldier: wrong version, so others won't install | 19:12 |
| onetinsoldier | snirp: are you sure? installing that from experimental didn't require all kinds of other dependencies in order to get it installed? | 19:12 |
| Bels1 | does anyone care about the LaptopTestTeam pages on the ubuntu wiki? seems like all the contents is really old | 19:13 |
| LjL | snirp, are you sure it's just *that* one package? | 19:13 |
| LjL | Bels1: try asking in #ubuntu-laptop | 19:13 |
| snirp | onetinsoldier: system runs fine, just missing graphics drivers and flashplugin now. Some other packages install properly in fact. | 19:13 |
| ardiem | how can i restart the jackd service? | 19:14 |
| Bels1 | LjL: thanls.. didn't know that one existed :D | 19:14 |
| olskolirc | how do i upgrade to intrepid from hardy at the command line please? | 19:14 |
| LjL | snirp: that doesn't mean you don't have a whole lot of Debian packages installed instead of Ubuntu ones | 19:14 |
| Ranakah | olskolirc | 19:14 |
| snirp | LjL: how can I be certain? It always seems to come down to THAT one | 19:14 |
| Ranakah | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:14 |
| olskolirc | that didn't do anything for me Ranakah | 19:14 |
| LjL | snirp: uhm, going by memory... aptitude search "~i~Odebian". or lowercase ~o, not sure. | 19:14 |
| administrator | installed ubuntu from one usb to another usb , however i think i installed grub to installer usb and can't boot with out installer usb as i get grub 21 error | 19:15 |

| Ranakah | olskolirc | 19:15 |
| Ranakah | and in update manager | 19:15 |

| olskolirc | nope Ranakah not in my update manager list | 19:15 |
| LjL | snirp: it's like i said. | 19:15 |
| Ranakah | then | 19:16 |

| Ranakah | olskolirc u know where is? | 19:16 |
| sunny | lol, I just switch channels on accident and asked #firefox which nonfree package to download. | 19:16 |
| LjL | snirp: you must use dpkg to force its removal without removing dependencies. perhaps --force-remove-essential | 19:16 |
| sunny | and somebody ansered me | 19:16 |
| olskolirc | synaptic Ranakah? | 19:17 |
| snirp | onetinsoldier: first thing i did after things went wrong | 19:17 |
| drowned | so sunny did you get it going | 19:17 |

| drowned | yeah the only problem i've noticed with nonfree on my system is that videos can sometimes lag really bad | 19:19 |
| drowned | but thats better than no flash at all | 19:19 |
| LjL | snirp: possibly also --force-depends | 19:20 |
| snirp | LjL: will look into the whole --force thing. Thx. | 19:20 |
| tleeonly | anybody know how to fix graphics problems | 19:21 |
| sunny | It is waay better, and as long as it doesn't lag as much as windows did, I'm in better shape. | 19:21 |
| sunny | Thanks fo ryour help | 19:21 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: that one should work i would think... just dpkg --force-depends -r gcc-xxx | 19:21 |
| vagk | hello, I have ubuntu 8.04, but I also want to install a win partition (probably vista). any ideas for problems or any guides available? I can only find for win first then ubuntu | 19:21 |

| drowned | no problem sunny....have fun with ubuntu | 19:21 |
| snirp | thx guys | 19:21 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: about one minute, yes, before i'm off to dinner | 19:22 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: i beleive i got the 8.10 installer onto my usb stick | 19:22 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: but now to boot it... | 19:23 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: to boot it you probably need to convince your BIOS | 19:23 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: which depends entirely on the BIOS | 19:23 |
| haqe43 | can someone tell me the gpg command to just encrypt a file symetrically with a passwd/phrase, no public crypto. | 19:23 |
| sunny | Back to work now. Adios | 19:23 |
| onetinsoldier | i think i might need to know the name of the kernel.. in order to put it into my menu.lst file | 19:23 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: uhm, did you not do it with unetbootin? | 19:23 |
| === latus is now known as latuss | ||
| onetinsoldier | LjL: yes.. i did | 19:24 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: it should do just about... everything automatically | 19:24 |
| tleeonly | can someone help me with graphics problems | 19:24 |
| LjL | haqe43: --symmetric | 19:24 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: it said it was installing a bootloader, but it didn't seem to touch my mbr, whch i didn't really want ti to either if it didn't have to | 19:24 |
| === latus is now known as flacom | ||
| DASPRiD | how to get the busid of the installed graphic cards? | 19:25 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier, it was installing a bootloader *on the USB drive* | 19:25 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: ok, good, that's what i thought it meant | 19:25 |
| talntid | in grub, does it go in order of menu.lst? whatever is defined first in menu.lst is what gets booted? | 19:25 |
| haqe43 | LjL: i do that with gpg -ec file.txt but it asks for user id. I dont have any ids set up, I just want to encrypt it | 19:25 |
| gnutron | DASPRiD: in a terminal type 'lspci -v' | 19:26 |
| LjL | onetinsoldier: whether your BIOS will know how to boot from a USB device or not, i don't know, but modern ones generally do | 19:26 |
| tleeonly | 82815 graphics controller | 19:26 |
| onetinsoldier | LjL: well, i have to figure out how to boot from my usb stick then.. there option in my bios on how to treat the usb stick.. Auto, Floppy, Forced fdd, Hard Disk and CDROM | 19:26 |
| gnutron | talntid: that is correct | 19:27 |
| haqe43 | LjL: sorry my bad. i should be leaving off the --encrypt option, thnx | 19:27 |
| Bodsda | grrr | 19:27 |
| === stalin is now known as BTB_Johan | ||
| onetinsoldier | LjL: but hmmm, perhaps i need to go into the bios and set the boot priority options.. perhaps evenshut down the systme first. anyway. i will get it figured out. thanks for telling about unetbootin! i think it will end up working out for me :-) | 19:28 |

| david_ | bigbawx yup | 19:30 |
| b1gbawx | ok thanks man | 19:31 |
| david_ | bigbawx np | 19:31 |
| erUSUL | b1gbawx: you can restore the conf "sudo update-rc.d kdm deaults" or use startx from terminal or "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start" | 19:31 |
| david_ | startx is best | 19:32 |
| david_ | because kdm may be running and not X | 19:32 |
| drowned | hey guys i have a quick question...if i ever mess up a conf file, is there any way to restore it to default? | 19:32 |
| david_ | atleast if X fails you know what to fix first | 19:32 |
| b1gbawx | im not sure what visual part im running its the one that comes with ubuntu | 19:32 |
| b1gbawx | im guessing its kde | 19:32 |
| david_ | doesnt ubuntu come with gnome ? | 19:32 |
| tritium | drowned: keep a backup of the original before you edit it | 19:32 |
| b1gbawx | they look the same to me | 19:33 |
| tritium | david_: yes | 19:33 |
| b1gbawx | should i use a diff command for gnome | 19:33 |
| erUSUL | b1gbawx: ubuntu uses gnome... kubuntu is the one with kde | 19:33 |
| david_ | Im not not running ubuntu standard flavor so i dont recall thanks tritium | 19:33 |
| erUSUL | b1gbawx: replace kdm with gdm | 19:33 |
| b1gbawx | ok cool | 19:33 |
| drowned | tritium: do u know the backup command from terminal? | 19:33 |
| david_ | amanda or tar drowned | 19:33 |
| tritium | drowned: you simply make a copy (cp <source> <dest>) | 19:33 |
| david_ | those are free | 19:33 |
| david_ | drowned, tar is a good way to make a backup | 19:34 |
| drowned | kk guys thanks | 19:34 |
| tritium | david_: not necessary for a single config file | 19:34 |
| david_ | tritium, good point, I thought he meant full backup | 19:34 |
| tritium | drowned: I'd do something like: cp conf_file confi_file.orig, or whatever you choose to name it | 19:35 |
| drowned | yeah that sounds about right tritium | 19:36 |
| drowned | i remember doing one before but forgot the syntax | 19:36 |
| tritium | ok | 19:36 |

| ChotaZ | I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, how should i proceed to end up with Kubuntu 8.10? And should I do anything after/before? | 19:42 |
| cherva | Since upgrading to 8.10 TTY 1 trought 6 are just black skreeens please help me to fix this | 19:42 |
| david_ | tleeonly, sounds like could be compatibility issue, but did all screensavers not work? | 19:42 |
| b1gbawx | is there a big difference from kde and gnome is there something better then both of them? | 19:42 |
| gnutron | Fenix|work: chmod 755 / | 19:43 |
| david_ | bigbawx I use fluxbox | 19:43 |
| euxneks | b1gbawx, yes there is a big difference | 19:43 |
| tleeonly | not all most won't | 19:43 |
| erUSUL | ChotaZ: upgrade to 8.10 then install kubuntu-desktop there | 19:43 |
| Slart | ChotaZ: there is a meta-package called.. kubuntu-desktop I think.. install that and it will install all the necessary apps .. just the same as if you installed kubuntu | 19:43 |
| afallenhope|work | david_, I'm making a distro based off of ubuntu.. so I'd like to compress and turn it into a live cd | 19:43 |
| erUSUL | !purekde | ChotaZ | 19:43 |
| ubottu | ChotaZ: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 19:43 |
| YaKaS | david_, where i find pisg.cfg | 19:43 |
| euxneks | b1gbawx, it also depends on how familiar you are with linux | 19:43 |
| YaKaS | ? | 19:43 |
| b1gbawx | fluxbox eh? ill check it out | 19:43 |
| euxneks | !puregnome | euxneks | 19:43 |
| david_ | afallenhope|work, hmmm interesting question well your making your own flavor of ubuntu install cd? | 19:43 |
| ubottu | euxneks, please see my private message | 19:43 |
| CharlieBrown | doh, how do I "get someone's attention" ... /<name>? I'm an IRC noob. | 19:43 |
| tleeonly | how do i fix it | 19:43 |
| david_ | YaKaS, umm try this cool thing called google | 19:43 |
| Slart | ChotaZ: then you just select kde at the login screen iirc.. I haven't done that part myself so I'm not sure | 19:43 |
| erUSUL | !who | ChotaZ | 19:44 |

| danielbw | I have the latest catalyst drivers, 8.12 installed on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 for amd64. I bought two ATI FireGL V3600's so I can stretch one big desktop across four monitors. I am only able to setup two big desktops: one per gpu, but with two screens each. There is no way to join all four screens to one big desktop. How can I set it up so that i can have one big desktop across all four monitors without enabing xinerama? | 19:44 |

| tleeonly | david how do i fix it | 19:44 |
| afallenhope|work | david_, pretty much yeah. I'm making my own OS based off of Ubuntu | 19:44 |
| vego | ktos z polski? | 19:44 |
| gnutron | CharlieBrown: type the first few letters of the nick then hit the tab key, it should complete the nick. also works with files in a terminal. | 19:44 |
| Juak | anyone knows how to purge a package after it was apt-get removed WITHOUT --purge? | 19:44 |
| david_ | afallenhope|work, your making your own OS and your asking how to make a live cd? something doesnt compute, your not actually writing a new os correct | 19:45 |
| CharlieBrown | !who | ubottu Thanks! | 19:45 |
| ubottu | ubottu Thanks!: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:45 |
| erUSUL | ChotaZ: after installing kubuntu-desktop you can uninstall gnome see the link ubottu gave you about purekde | 19:45 |
| tritium | Juak: sudo apt-get remove --purge <package | 19:45 |
| tritium | > | 19:45 |
| Slart | ChotaZ: ah.. I missed the part that you are on 8.04.. I'd suggest, as erUSUL said, upgrading 8.10 first.. then install the kde stuff | 19:45 |
| CharlieBrown | gnutron: got it | 19:45 |
| drowned | david_: it sounds like he's making a custom configuration...not a new OS :) | 19:45 |
| lamur | hey guys | 19:45 |
| Slart | Juak: install it again then purge it.. don't know if there is an easier way | 19:45 |
| david_ | drowned, I kinda thought so originally | 19:45 |
| lamur | do you guys know how to restart my network with a command | 19:45 |
| lamur | ? | 19:45 |
| drowned | yeah 1 sec | 19:46 |
| Slart | lamur: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 19:46 |
| drowned | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 19:46 |
| Juak | @Slart: dammit! | 19:46 |
| drowned | damn it | 19:46 |
| lamur | oke thakns slart | 19:46 |
| Alexplay | Where's located dhclient.conf? | 19:46 |
| Slart | drowned: I'm newly caffeinated =) | 19:46 |
| drowned | lol | 19:46 |
| Slart | Juak: yup.. it hurts.. | 19:46 |
| drowned | i had to look it up | 19:46 |
| daaaman64 | what version are we on now? It's been a while since I've upgraded and I think there should be a new version by now. | 19:46 |
| erUSUL | Alexplay: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 19:47 |
| tritium | Alexplay: /etc/dhcp3/ | 19:47 |
| Alexplay | thanks | 19:47 |
| Slart | daaaman64: 8.10 | 19:47 |
| gnutron | Juak: synaptic does complete removal of a package when asked. | 19:47 |
| edju | Does Ubuntu have a tool to select the best mirro for sources.list, like mirrorselect in gentoo? | 19:47 |
| daaaman64 | Thanks Slart, how do I check what version I'm on? | 19:47 |
| MoLoot_ | Alexplay: locate dhclient.conf | 19:47 |
| Slart | daaaman64: lsb_release -a | 19:47 |
| erUSUL | edju: yesp system<Admin>Software Sources | 19:47 |
| Sithys | Sers | 19:47 |
| afallenhope|work | david_, not sure how this is relevant. I just installed ubuntu, installed 5 programs and had my custom scripts/programs and now would like to create a "Distro" | 19:47 |
| Juak | gnutron: but does it for packages that are already uninstalled? | 19:47 |
| tritium | edju: netselect | 19:47 |
| Alexplay | oh nice, thanks | 19:47 |
| MoLoot_ | Hi everyone. I just updated to intrepid and noticed myspace wasn't displaying music player correctly. What's the package to get to fix? | 19:48 |
| Sithys | So ehm...how to install Java for Knuddels? =/ | 19:48 |
| CharlieBrown | If I may, I like using 'aptitude' vs. 'apt-get' ... seems to do a better job figuring out dependencies. | 19:48 |
| daaaman64 | Slart thanks. Is it worth upgrading? I'm on 8.04. I am thinking about doing a fresh upgrade. | 19:48 |
| gnutron | Juak: um, no. i doubt it. | 19:48 |
| edju | tritium, netselect gets debian sources, doesn't it? | 19:48 |
| tritium | edju: not certain. I've not used it. | 19:48 |
| david_ | afallenhope|work, http://www.linux-live.org/ try this | 19:48 |
| Slart | daaaman64: I thought so.. but it would probably depend on what software you are using | 19:48 |
| david_ | netselect never used it I used to use emerge on gentoo | 19:49 |
| afallenhope|work | david_, do you have ANY idea what I'm talking about? | 19:49 |
| daaaman64 | Slart: virtual box and wine are most important to me. ... which sounds kind of stupid. | 19:49 |
| Sithys | Guys...i'm just new on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit and...i don't know how to install java for Knuddels, can you help me please? | 19:49 |
| david_ | isnt apt get, emerge all the same as ports from BSD? | 19:49 |

| keishia | hey guys, how do I find out what kind of RAM I've got? | 19:49 |

| distefam | hello, I'm having trouble with pulseaudio. I've followed the detailed instructions on the forums, however I still can't get pavucontrol to connect, can someone help? | 19:50 |

| Slart | !de | 19:50 |
| Slart | bah | 19:50 |
| daaaman64 | Slart, it isn't intentional. There is no other way around gamedevelopment. And I enjoy TF2. :D | 19:50 |
| jdolan_ | Slart, i did, it doesn't run -- it actually silently exits with an error status. | 19:50 |
| jdolan_ | Slart, i ran a strace to see where it's dying, it's looking for a rather core system library. but it's expecting the 32 bit version. | 19:51 |
| keishia | gnutron: cheers | 19:51 |
| Slart | daaaman64: developing windows games on ubuntu.. kinky =) | 19:51 |
| david_ | tleeonly, try (kill -all ) j/k did you ever get back on if all screensavers work or not? | 19:51 |
| daaaman64 | Slart, I know right? | 19:51 |
| jdolan_ | slart, it's possible to run 32 bit apps on 64 bit OS, correct? | 19:51 |
| afallenhope|work | david_, ty | 19:51 |
| Slart | jdolan_: hmm.. no way to make it be more verbose? -v or something? | 19:51 |
| david_ | afallenhope|work, np | 19:51 |
| tleeonly | 1 or 2 work rest don't | 19:51 |
| mphill | jdolan_: yes | 19:51 |
| Slart | jdolan_: there are some 32-bit libraries you can install .. ia-32 I think they *were* called.. not sure if they are available any more | 19:51 |
| afallenhope|work | david_, read what you wrote wrong lol. | 19:51 |
| jdolan_ | Slart, it's the Jaspersoft reports installer, i'm really not sure. i can get the strace if you want the library name that it's looking for. | 19:51 |
| david_ | afallenhope|work, np | 19:52 |
| Slart | jdolan_: yes, it should be possible.. the problem is usually with libraries.. not the executable itself | 19:52 |
| mphill | ewww, jaspersoft | 19:52 |
| jdolan_ | open("/lib/ld-linux.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) | 19:52 |
| distefam | is anyone familiar with pulseaudio here? | 19:52 |
| jdolan_ | Slart, right. | 19:52 |
| david_ | tleeonly, hmm well could be a problem with compatibility, honestly I don't know its a good question. I will research n get back to you | 19:52 |

| mphill | open office is a 32-bit application so i would assume the 32 library is already there. | 19:54 |
| Fenix|work | gnutron, was chmod -R 770 / | 19:54 |
| daaaman64 | Slart, do you know of anything like emerge for ubuntu? It would be sweet if we had a compiling repository too. | 19:55 |
| Slart | mphill: ooo is 32-bit even on the 64-bit ubuntu??? | 19:55 |
| mphill | the package is ia32-libs | 19:55 |
| daaaman64 | alternatively of course. | 19:55 |
| gnutron | keishia: find the motherboard model number and check the specs | 19:55 |
| woden_ | david_: No, password files. And also, just because I want to and I'm interesting in learning how. | 19:55 |
| david_ | daaaman64, apt get or aptitude | 19:55 |
| Slart | daaaman64: well.. there's apt-get build wich I assume would be kind of the same | 19:55 |
| mphill | Slart: 64-bit processor are more than capable of running 32-bit binaries | 19:55 |
| ChotaZ | Can anyone hit my with some link on how to install Kubuntu over Ubuntu 8.10? | 19:55 |
| mphill | you just need the libraries | 19:55 |
| david_ | woden_, I'm sorry i was being sarcastic, I don't have an answer for you | 19:55 |
| daaaman64 | david_ COMPILING. apt-get just adds packages. Thanks though. | 19:55 |
| james1979 | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 19:56 |
| keishia | gnutron, sorry which one in the list is the motherboard? | 19:56 |
| ChotaZ | thanks james1979 | 19:56 |
| Slart | mphill: yes, I know.. I'm just surprised that they aren't doing 64-bit binaries.. | 19:56 |
| gnutron | Fenix|work: depends if it was recursively done, but it should be 755 not 770 | 19:56 |
| zanberdo | I've associated my iPod to open Rhythmbox automatically and I'd like to disassociate them. How? | 19:56 |
| Fenix|work | gnutron, I know it should be 775... I'm saying my jr. -R 770 on / :) | 19:57 |
| iShock | What should I install for listening to music? | 19:57 |
| mphill | Slart: lots of people are slow to get on the 64-bit band wagon, java, Open office, most people that release as a binary | 19:57 |
| james1979 | iShock : vlc, rhythmbox | 19:57 |
| iShock | Hm vlc | 19:57 |
| mphill | there is flash 64 which works very well i might add, hats off to adobe | 19:58 |

| woden_ | gnutron: In "Passwords and Encryption Keys" I selected "Generate a new key of your own" and I was prompted to create either a "Secure Shell Key" or a "PGP Key". Which one? | 20:04 |
| ChotaZ | Guys, I'm looking to use my ubuntu desktop to watch movies and some anime, is there a good coded pack+player i could get? | 20:04 |

| moDumass | how do i add a screen size to xrandr? | 20:12 |
| mphill | woden_: encryption is very strange. I meant full name. It might be seahorse itself though. | 20:12 |
| hacked_kernel | how to check if a module is loaded or not? | 20:12 |
| ptux | yes, but it doesn't show me my public key, or i 've not recognized it.. | 20:12 |
| Slart | hacked_kernel: modprobe -l or lsmod | 20:12 |
| CharlieBrown | Install | 20:12 |
| niklauzw | ruben_desktop_pc: same problem w/ different kernel? try a previous one | 20:12 |

| woden_ | mphill: I don't think the length of characters in my name is in any way related to the strength of the hash algorithm | 20:13 |
| CharlieBrown | mintonr: Do you have a wired network connection or just wireless? | 20:14 |
| archman | ultratek: sudo apt-get install googleearth | 20:14 |
| hacked_kernel | Slart, modprop -l shows the module while lsmod not, is it ok? | 20:14 |
| mintonr | I have wireless in the house and It says its connected to the net, but i cant browse or update | 20:14 |

| carnage__ | hey, how do i recover grub from the livecd? i installed windows over the mbr but my ubuntu partition is still there | 20:15 |
| ultratek | archman it came back with this line: | 20:15 |
| Slart | hacked_kernel: ah.. modprobe -l shows all modules.. lsmod only shows the ones that are loaded I think | 20:15 |
| ultratek | E: Couldn't find package googleearth | 20:15 |
| CharlieBrown | mintonr: if you can directly connect your computer with an ethernet cable to your modem/router, do that then down load WICD | 20:15 |

| ChotaZ | Hello, its me again | 20:27 |
| Pnux | hey, any other software for taking screenshots that will allow me to take it even if i click on a menu? | 20:28 |
| ChotaZ | i have a question | 20:28 |
| clooluss | Hi. I have an upgrade problem: "Not all updates can be installed" - it tells me to do a partial upgrade, but if i do that it tells me "not all packages could be authenticated" The list of software it mentions seems to be mainly OOo. I have the OOo repository in my software sources. Intrepid 64bit. | 20:28 |
| ChotaZ | when i was upgrading 8.04 yo 8.10 i got a message saying that an error occured reading or writting information to configure NAutilus | 20:28 |
| ultratek | yea | 20:28 |
| ultratek | archman: yes | 20:28 |
| gnutron | Pnux: print-screen button should do the trick. | 20:28 |
| Pnux | thanks gnutron, gonna try it | 20:29 |
| clooluss | Ooops... fell offline. Did I missanything? | 20:29 |
| Fenix|work | clooluss, just the Dixie Chicks | 20:29 |
| b1gbawx | my external hd stopped working when i disabled gnome from starting up when ubuntu started up. do you think that is what is causing my external hd not to detect now? | 20:29 |

| Fenix|work | err | 20:30 |

| nxxs | hi all! | 20:30 |
| fang0654 | cloosuss: You can probably reboot, and do the upgrade again, and it should pick up the rest of trhe packages | 20:30 |
| gnutron | paging led zeppelin.... joke, sorry. | 20:30 |
| fang0654 | cloosuss: It probably has some dependencies on a new kernel that got installed | 20:30 |
| Pnux | gnutron, do you know the name of the one that is preinstalled? | 20:30 |
| ChotaZ | when i was upgrading 8.04 yo 8.10 i got a message saying that an error occured reading or writting information to configure NAutilus | 20:30 |
| gnutron | Pnux: no sorry. | 20:30 |
| nxxs | how does one edit metadata of multimediafiles in avi-containers under ubuntu 8.10? | 20:30 |
| ChotaZ | what am i supposed to do? | 20:31 |
| clooluss | fang0654: I've tried that, have had this problem a few days. Reboot at least once a day. | 20:31 |
| b1gbawx | does anyone have the command to re enable gnome on startup | 20:31 |
| Fenix|work | Thanks tritium ... although I think most here can police themselves quite nicely, it's nice to know there is someone who cares | 20:31 |
| sharperguy | When building a package with dh_make, how do I change the distro it is going to build for? | 20:31 |
| clooluss | fang: Has there been a new kernel release lately? This was a frsh-from-cd install of ibex, not an upgrade from Hardy. | 20:32 |
| fang0654 | clooluss: pretty sure there was one a couple days ago | 20:32 |
| clooluss | fang: OK, how do I fix it? | 20:32 |
| Pnux | clooluss, yea like two weeks ago | 20:32 |
| tritium | Fenix|work: it was a tad offtopic, but I let it go. | 20:32 |
| gnutron | b1gbawx: update-rc.d gdm start or 'on' maybe, not sure | 20:32 |
| fang0654 | clooluss: Did you do the partial upgrade? | 20:32 |
| b1gbawx | i just want to see if its causing my external hd not to work | 20:33 |
| clooluss | Fang: I try to, but it doesn't work. I says that packages can't be authenticated, and then lists a bunch of OOo stuff. | 20:33 |
| fang0654 | clooluss: There isn't an option to continue anyway? | 20:33 |
| clooluss | I run OOo 3.0 from the OOo repository, not 2.X from the standard repo. | 20:33 |
| ramon_ | i am having problem with playing flash videos (youtube) on firefox...using intrepid | 20:34 |
| Fenix|work | tritium, it was actually humour AND it made someone smile... soooo it was win-win for the whole 'make the users feel welcome' experience that is ever so important here... but again this is off topic, I better start talking ubuntu and become a dull boy. | 20:34 |
| Pici | clooluss: Are you referring to the OOo PPA? | 20:34 |
| tritium | Fenix|work: which is why I let it go. All is good. No worries. | 20:35 |
| jshriver | greetings | 20:35 |
| jshriver | how can I print from the cli? I tried lp lpr but gives me an error | 20:35 |
| jshriver | Printing from any X app is perfect | 20:35 |
| clooluss | Fang: No. "It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem... try aagin later... see below for list of unauthed packages." I ddon't think it is a transient network problem. Or if it is a netowrk problem, it isn't a transient one - this has been going on since tuesday or wednesday. | 20:35 |
| * B0ngFrOg is pulling my hair out trying to get a layla20 to show me all the channels (dig and analog) I have a .asoundrc but get a error over it. (the .asound works on this maching with FC9). Any ideas? | 20:35 | |
| ramon_ | does anyone knows how to fix this on firefox with intrepid? | 20:36 |
| gnutron | jshriver: pipe output to 'lpr' | 20:36 |
| clooluss | Pici: Yeah, pp.launchpad...openoffice...intrepid. something like that | 20:36 |
| jshriver | lpr: Error - no default destination available. | 20:37 |
| fang0654 | clooluss: What about if you do a sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade | 20:37 |
| ramon_ | intrepid...what a mess | 20:37 |
| jshriver | I only have one printer and it's set to default in cups | 20:37 |
| juanez | how do i add stuff to xorg.conf in ubuntu 8.10 . seems as if the xorg.conf is extremely small these days and "stuff" (keyboard etc) are automagically setup elsewhere. More specifically i'd like to get this working; http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Logitech_UltraX_Media_Remote | 20:37 |
| Pici | clooluss: PPAs do not currently offer the ability to be signed. So you *will* get an error regarding unauthenticated updates. | 20:37 |
| KrimZon | is there a way to have one specific mounted volume not appear on the desktop? i don't want my ntfs partition on the linux drive to show on the desktop but everything else should | 20:37 |
| linuxkrn | hey all, I'm using apt-proxy to cache my files, but starting today I can't seem to find: /ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 on any servers. Anyone know why or what is pulling it? | 20:37 |

| gravityeyelids | Are there any tools to specify whether ALSA should output to physical card or Pulseaudio? | 20:47 |
| tritium | fang0654: xserver-xorg-video-intel, which should already be installed | 20:47 |

| danaka | thanks | 20:56 |
| Photoguy | What should I set for audio in in skype? | 20:56 |
| Cosmo-san | could be. could be the outside network connection, could be a faulty router, but probably not an ubuntu question | 20:57 |
| joaopinto | Photoguy, for the playback, pulseaudio | 20:57 |
| agustin | Photoguy, what sound card do you have? | 20:57 |
| Photoguy | Umm ,I don't know. | 20:57 |

| dman777 | does qparted have full functionality as gfdisk? | 20:58 |
| fang0654 | ChotaZ: No clue on that one. If it is locked you can try a ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X | 20:58 |
| grendal_prime | ok i cant believe im asking this but ummm...is there a frontside tool for ssh that could use to setup severall port forwarding configs (and like bookmark them)? | 20:59 |
| ChotaZ | I restarted and i could get into the login screen again, selected KDE, but after login in i got a box with 1 hdd image in it | 20:59 |
| dman777 | grendal_prime: putty? | 20:59 |
| ChotaZ | as i clicked it, the box disapeared and now all i have is kdm background | 20:59 |
| grendal_prime | I mean i could build my own scripts but the thing is i have a feeling i will at some point have to pass this administration off to someone. Putty for linux? | 21:00 |
| dman777 | grendal_prime: ya. got it on my laptop | 21:00 |
| LjL | grendal_prime: not following you, what does SSH have to do with port forwarding? | 21:00 |
| Steffan | Hi everyone | 21:01 |
| mintonr | The network manager connected successfully but i can't download updates, or browse the net | 21:01 |
| will__ | Kubuntu with KDE 4: How stable and integrated is this at the moment? | 21:01 |
| dman777 | grendal_prime: but i'm not sure putty will do what you are looking for, will it? | 21:01 |
| ChotaZ | Guys | 21:02 |
| grendal_prime | wholy shit...thanks man there it is...see i never even thought to look for a linux version of putty..Mainly becuse ive always been under the impresson of (why screww up a perfectly good app like ssh) hehehe | 21:02 |
| ChotaZ | I just managed to login, everything seems to be working fine now, but my screen blinks a lot, the computer is about new, any guesses? | 21:02 |
| grendal_prime | well the windows version of it does.. | 21:02 |
| Steffan | I have a webcam connected to my laptop, to test it i tried 'sudo cat /dev/video0', but it did not output some 'garbage'. It did say 'segmentation fault', ubuntu hanged and the scrlck and capslock led blinked. What does that mean? | 21:02 |
| Steffan | Kernel panic? | 21:02 |
| grendal_prime | your webcam does not work? | 21:02 |
| locohost | why would you want to use putty in linux? | 21:02 |
| CarlFK | Steffan: yep | 21:02 |
| smacfarl | anyone install amarok 2.0 on gnome yet? kubuntu has an adept package do I need to have a synaptic one? | 21:03 |
| dman777 | grendal_prime: but i'm not sure if putty does port fowarding. do you know off hand if it does? | 21:03 |
| mintonr | The network manager connected successfully but i can't download updates, or browse the net | 21:03 |
| LjL | smacfarl, Adept and Synaptic use the very same packages. they're just different frontends to the same APT packaging management system. | 21:03 |
| came0 | hey where is the log file where my the commands I type into xterminal? | 21:03 |
| gnutron | Steffan: it didnt like that command :) | 21:03 |
| Steffan | yes, but why not? | 21:03 |
| gnutron | came0: /var/log/ | 21:04 |
| grendal_prime | ok here comes the "banter" I dont want to use putty someone else does not want to use a ...and i quote "command line like appthing" | 21:04 |
| came0 | gnutron: thx | 21:04 |
| locohost | you can create ssh tunnels with putty | 21:04 |
| dman777 | came0: most likely /var/log/X11/ | 21:04 |
| locohost | or, almost any ssh client | 21:04 |
| grendal_prime | ya dman777 it does tunnels just fine | 21:04 |
| smacfarl | LjL: So I added the ppa line from the kubuntu page into the synaptic settings and reloaded, and am not seeing the package when I search on amarok? What am I missing? | 21:04 |
| mintonr | can anyone help? I have connected to my wireless network but can't browse the net or download updates/packages | 21:04 |
| grendal_prime | well at lest the current windows version of it.. | 21:04 |
| gnutron | Steffan: it tried to concatenate a video device, not a normal thing that i know of. | 21:04 |
| cexpert1 | All: I had a MB Nic, plus 2, on my 7.10 server and just pulled. Where is a HOWTO on resetting these? I have static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and not finding the help I need. | 21:04 |
| grendal_prime | i have to test it with my windows test machine | 21:04 |
| dman777 | grendal_prime: wow. i didn't know port fowarding was tunnelling. haha...that's funny about that person. i think putty is pretty friendly | 21:05 |
| Monie | Hey, I'm trying to run ubuntu 7.10 on mac os x ppc, but a box comes up saying busybox | 21:05 |
| LjL | smacfarl: do you remember what the package was called? (or can you give me a link to the PPA?) | 21:05 |
| Steffan | gnutron, ok it is not normal... but it should not crash | 21:05 |
| Monie | What do I type to get ubuntu running? | 21:05 |
| locohost | well, port forwarding is not tunneling | 21:05 |
| === cexpert1 is now known as TBotNik | ||
| dman777 | grendal_prime: ya, the putty on linux is the exact same as windows | 21:05 |
| Steffan | gnutron, it should be 'fool' proof :P | 21:05 |
| SkittleLinux18_ | hey, does anyone here know the terminal command to update adept in kubuntu?? | 21:05 |
| smacfarl | LjL:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main | 21:05 |
| grendal_prime | well the port forwarding through ssh is what im talking about | 21:05 |
| TBotNik | All: I had a MB Nic, plus 2, on my 7.10 server and just pulled. Where is a HOWTO on resetting these? I have static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and not finding the help I need. | 21:05 |
| will__ | SkittleLinux18_: sudo apt-get update | 21:05 |
| locohost | but, you can tunnel a port that is not forwarded/natted/etc/ through a port that is forwarded, | 21:05 |
| juanez | anyone know how to hack the xorg.conf in ubuntu 8.10 ? | 21:05 |
| gnutron | Steffan: i would have expected screen garbage, but crash, yes very possible, no harm done tho' | 21:05 |
| LjL | smacfarl: what does "apt-cache show amarok-kde4" tell you? | 21:06 |
| Static-- | how do i empty root trash can? | 21:06 |
| Static-- | on 8.10 | 21:06 |
| dman777 | juanez: what do you mean by hack? | 21:06 |
| mintonr | I can't connect to the internet through the latest 8.10 build. I connected to my wirless network but cant browse the internet or download updates | 21:06 |
| ikonia | !trash > Static-- | 21:06 |
| ubottu | Static--, please see my private message | 21:06 |
| SkittleLinux18_ | will__: that's apt-get. i need to the command to update adept package manager | 21:06 |
| locohost | do you have an ip, routs? | 21:06 |
| juanez | dman777: make changes to xorg.conf ... seems as if ubuntu 8,10 seriously changed it | 21:06 |
| gnutron | Steffan: be careful what you type, you just might get it! | 21:06 |
| LjL | SkittleLinux18_: same thing. | 21:06 |
| TBotNik | All: Did you understand my Q or do I need to reword? | 21:07 |
| Alexplay | There's nothing wrong if i remove "interface-mtu," line in dhclient.conf? because i don't want it to reset my MTU everytime i run dhclient, i removed it and all seems ok and works like i want, but will this cause any problems? | 21:07 |
| LjL | SkittleLinux18_: they're both just front-ends to APT, an update will update the other. | 21:07 |
| dman777 | juanez: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:07 |
| juanez | dman777: yes, that file | 21:07 |
| Monie | Anyone know how I can get ubuntu to run, just something comes up saying busybox | 21:07 |
| smacfarl | LJL: It says the package is amarok-kde4 and a lot of other stuff this seems like a good response. | 21:07 |
| SkittleLinux18_ | really?? hmm... good to know. I was given one yesterday that was a bit longer, but I don't remember it. | 21:07 |
| dman777 | juanez: why not just edit the file? | 21:07 |
| juanez | dman777: doesnt work any longer it seems | 21:07 |
| LjL | smacfarl: then i don't know why you don't see it in Synaptic (you definitely should), but you can install it with "sudo apt-get install amarok-kde4" | 21:07 |
| mintonr | Can anyone help me with an internet issue? | 21:07 |
| grendal_prime | thanks dman777 that should do the trick ...also now when i make my flash animation tut's i dont have to do those on the windows machine since the interface looks almost identical | 21:08 |
| dman777 | juanez: what is it that you want to change? | 21:08 |
| Steffan | gnutron, huh? Might get crashes when i type 'cat /dev/video0' :S | 21:08 |
| juanez | dman777: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Logitech_UltraX_Media_Remote | 21:08 |
| smacfarl | BTW I think since we bailed out the banks, and we're talking about bailing out the auto companies we should have a public works project for gnome and kde devs. | 21:08 |
| juanez | like to add that in xorg.conf | 21:08 |
| juanez | but no go | 21:08 |
| LjL | smacfarl: does it say the version is 2.0? | 21:08 |
| locohost | mintor, you ignored my question to you | 21:08 |
| ikonia | juanez: you can edit your xorg conf the same as every other release | 21:08 |
| grendal_prime | bail out opensource? | 21:08 |
| dman777 | juanez: you might want to try to put it in the server section | 21:08 |
| grendal_prime | we all get a million dollar check? | 21:08 |
| mintonr | I must have missed it... | 21:08 |
| smacfarl | LjL: Version 2.0-0ubuntu1~ppa1 which looks like the right one? | 21:09 |
| dman777 | juanez: how old is that tutorial? | 21:09 |
| LjL | smacfarl: yes | 21:09 |
| Alexplay | There's nothing wrong if i remove "interface-mtu," line in dhclient.conf? because i don't want it to reset my MTU everytime i run dhclient because it gets configured to 1500 when the interface goes up, i removed it and all seems ok and works like i want, but will this cause any problems? | 21:09 |
| gnutron | Steffan: /dev/video0 is likely a webcam, cat displays text files, it tried to display a video device in a terminal, not likely to work. i never tried it. | 21:09 |
| locohost | Do you have an ip, and routes to any networks? | 21:09 |
| grendal_prime | thats rediculas..now 500,000, not a bad idea (we shouldnt get greedy) | 21:09 |
| dman777 | juanez: oh wait...that's what it saids | 21:09 |
| Steffan | gnutron, but i can cat my mouse input :D | 21:09 |
| juanez | dman777: from sept 2007 | 21:09 |
| dman777 | juanez: you got the driver installed, yes? | 21:09 |
| juanez | evdev ? yes | 21:10 |
| gnutron | Steffan: i've heard of that, yes | 21:10 |
| Albatross | hello | 21:10 |
| LjL | Steffan: you "can", doesn't mean it's a good idea, though, since it'll probably result in mangling your terminal and that's it | 21:10 |
| TBotNik | All: I had a MB NIC, plus 2 3Com NICs, on my Ubuntu 7.10 server and just pulled them. Was previously using for load balance on proxy server, but not using box that way now. Where is a HOWTO on resetting these? I have static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and not finding the help I need. Previous Inet port was the MB NIC but system had ID'd it as eth2, now is eth0, but not coming up on re-boot, even though I change the settings in the "interface" | 21:10 |
| dman777 | juanez: xorg.conf is still being used. you're gonna have mess with those settings to make it fly. | 21:10 |
| xhunter | ok | 21:10 |
| archman | guys how to make file in konsole? | 21:10 |
| xhunter | HELLO | 21:10 |
| dman777 | juanez: you might want to do a lsusb to make sure you got the device label correct | 21:11 |
| juanez | dman777: yeah, it's still used.. but seems something's chagned though. becuase they dont swallow the config | 21:11 |
| Alexplay | someone answer me please | 21:11 |
| TBotNik | Ifconfig is only showing localhost and no eth ports | 21:11 |
| zrak | why i can't edit partitions in gparted | 21:11 |
| mintonr | i have 4 sections when i run the ifconfig,eth0,lo,wlan0,wmaster0-00 | 21:11 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Syslinux says 'Cannot find kernel image: Linux' when I try to boot my LiveUSB made with usb-creator and I don't seem to be able to fix is by changing the paths in syslinux.conf. | 21:11 |
| dman777 | dman777: did you do a modprobe to see if the driver is loaded? or is it in the kernel? | 21:11 |
| zrak | i want to create a new partition from a existing but all the options are blank | 21:11 |
| ikonia | Alexplay: it may / may not cause problems depending on your isp | 21:11 |
| Steffan | archman, echo "test" > test.txt ? | 21:11 |
| ChotaZ | How can i move widgets within a panel in KDE? | 21:11 |
| ikonia | Alexplay: we can't say - try it | 21:11 |
| mintonr | lo has net add of 127.0.0.1 | 21:11 |
| smacfarl | LjL: Will it detect my 1.4 install and suck up the data? | 21:12 |
| dman777 | juanez: : did you do a modprobe to see if the driver is loaded? or is it in the kernel? | 21:12 |
| Buster_Hymen | is there a config file for programs that auto-start when the system boots? | 21:12 |
| mintonr | wlan0 has net add of 192.168.2.3 | 21:12 |
| Tumpster | I have a question on evolution, I've walked through the sync settings and it syncs with my palm just fine, now how do i get it to download my info from my palm to evolution and what do i hit in evolution to sync each time I use it? | 21:12 |
| Albatross | all my programs [i'm in gnome] claim they've run out of space and cant save their add-ons, configurations, and other various things they decide to try and save. I'm on a Wubi installation... what might be the problem? i have tools to grow partitions if i need them | 21:12 |
| LjL | smacfarl: no idea | 21:12 |
| Buster_Hymen | i'm trying to autostart a bittorrent client | 21:12 |
| Alexplay | well, i tried it and it doesn't change my MTU, and i keep my connection to internet | 21:12 |
| Alexplay | so i guess it's ok | 21:12 |
| agustin | ANY ONE KNOWS HOW TO INSTALL REMASTERSYSY IN INTREPID AMD64?????!!!! | 21:12 |
| juanez | lsmod | grep evdev ----> evdev 17696 0 | 21:12 |
| ikonia | agustin: don't use caps | 21:12 |
| xhunter | agree | 21:12 |
| ikonia | agustin: people can read lower case and it get's peoples backs up as it's classed as "shouting" | 21:13 |
| juanez | dman777: lsmod | grep evdev ----> evdev 17696 0 | 21:13 |
| juanez | dman777: so i guess it is? | 21:13 |
| smacfarl | LjL: When I find out, is there some community Ubuntu knowledge base I can report the results to, so other people can read what happened? | 21:13 |
| Tumpster | I have a question on evolution, I've walked through the sync settings and it syncs with my palm just fine, now how do i get it to download my info from my palm to evolution and what do i hit in evolution to sync each time I use it? | 21:13 |
| xhunter | <agustin> no caps please | 21:13 |
| dman777 | juanez: ya, looks like that is good. probably a setting in the xorg.conf that has to be changed. that tutorial can be out of date. | 21:13 |
| Reformer81 | Does the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD contain the partition editor (other than the one in the install)? | 21:14 |
| dman777 | juanez: i can't imagine xorg.conf not being used. | 21:14 |
| Reformer81 | I've tried two versions of the GParted LiveCD and neither will boot. | 21:14 |
| juanez | dman777: it is being used, but xorg.conf doesnt set everything up these days.. (less /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see for yourself) | 21:14 |

| oreoferret | so I once ran linux 0.12 (still have the install document on dot matrix printer) | 21:25 |
| xhunter | the same to you | 21:25 |
| oreoferret | and after all these years.. I want to run it again hah | 21:25 |
| j0sh-x1 | oreoferret: good evening :D | 21:26 |
| LjL | kebomix: /join #ubuntu-bots and "list every video editor" will give a few | 21:26 |
| oreoferret | I can't get Ubuntu (latest version) to work iwth my wireless | 21:26 |
| ruben | and last tiem i tried to do it the old fashioned way it would make me have console mode only | 21:26 |
| calc | oreoferret: its a bit better now, first i used was 1.2.4 | 21:26 |
| Buster_Hymen | navinshenoy: it's bad conduct to ask specific users specific questions... we all saw your question, but people apparently don't know. =) that said, what problems are you having? | 21:26 |
| archman | can anyone pastebin me their wvdial.conf layout? | 21:26 |

| ikonia | oreoferret: could you take that to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 21:26 |
| oreoferret | ikonia - sure | 21:26 |
| toastedmilk | xhunter, In terminal it says it can't run the .run file | 21:26 |
| ikonia | oreoferret: thanks | 21:26 |
| navinshenoy | i can get wifi to work with out encryption.. WPA does not work... i need wpa.. | 21:26 |
| toastedmilk | xhunter sudo sh ./PATH | 21:26 |
| toastedmilk | xhunter, sudo sh ./PATH isn't working | 21:26 |
| juanez | dman777: nah, i guess you'd have to edit stuff in /etc/hal/* | 21:27 |
| calc | oreoferret: what wireless do you have? | 21:27 |
| Buster_Hymen | navinshenoy: look into wpa supplicant... something like that. I know ubuntuforums have a bunch of tutorials | 21:27 |
| juanez | well.. im out | 21:27 |
| dman777 | juanez: wow...so hal will contain xorg? | 21:27 |
| ruben | im going to bring my probel onto the forum theirs too many people having probs here to get an answer because they have to all be replied to | 21:27 |
| mintonr | I need some help with a wireless connection. I have connected to the network but cant browse the itnernet or updates | 21:27 |
| ikonia | dman777: no | 21:27 |
| Buster_Hymen | navinshenoy: and know that wifi is a particularly tricky aspect of ubuntu so it might just not be available with your hardware... you should look at the ubuntu wiki to see if your wifi card is supported | 21:27 |
| navinshenoy | Well i am here after trying to get wpa supplicant to work and failed.. howtos are not very good | 21:27 |
| juanez | dman777: what? no! xorg.conf will be deprectated i'd guess | 21:28 |
| juanez | gnite | 21:28 |
| Firefishe | mintonr: You might go to a terminal and try: dhclient wlan0 (or whatever your wireless interface is set to) | 21:28 |
| Buster_Hymen | navinshenoy: then you're going to need to give us a lot more information. what did you do? what failed? what output did you get? do you have any log files? etc... | 21:28 |
| mintonr | Ok, ill try that Firefishe | 21:28 |

| slashzul | can u downgrade a ubuntu apache2.2.4 to 2.0 ? How EASY is it? | 21:29 |
| toastedmilk | xhunter, Can you help? | 21:29 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: depends on if other things use the dependencies | 21:29 |
| Firefishe | Photoguy: Generally speaking, yes. However, the .deb file is probably still in /var/cache/apt/archives | 21:29 |
| mohbana | what do i need to play wma? | 21:29 |
| ikonia | slashzul: if there is a package availalbe, not too hard | 21:29 |
| Photoguy | OK | 21:29 |
| cppm | photoguy: depends on dependencies, and whether you specify purge to apt | 21:30 |
| slashzul | ikonia: umm , not sure, but I need a specific apache version | 21:30 |
| Photoguy | But better than Windows anyway? | 21:30 |
| mintonr | I get unkown harware address type 801 can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases PERMISSION DENIED | 21:30 |
| navinshenoy | i think i will give up on this wifi thing until ubuntu support for wpa imporves | 21:30 |
| ikonia | slashzul: if there is a package - your fine, if there i not, quite awkward | 21:30 |
| ikonia | mintonr: use sudo | 21:30 |
| dman777 | ikonia: so, hal won't contain xorg, but if i want to edit xorg i do it in a hal config file? | 21:30 |
| Firefishe | Photoguy: cppm is correct. The command: sudo dpkg --purge filename.deb will completely remove it from your system, including the .deb. | 21:30 |
| biophile | I need help with grub. I keep getting 'error 2' during boot. | 21:31 |
| ikonia | dman777: no | 21:31 |
| mintonr | Ikonia: how to use sudo? | 21:31 |
| ikonia | dman777: just edit xorg.conf | 21:31 |

| ubottu | mohbana, please see my private message | 21:31 |
| Buster_Hymen | navinshenoy: well it works very well with some chipsets and not at all with others. you should talk to your wifi card manufacturer to see if they've released drivers for linux | 21:31 |

| typeofkisses | Hi all, sorry about the flooding. Would any of you be able to tell me why this worked in my previous ubuntu but not in 8.10? Thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/84110/ | 21:43 |
| mintonr | http://rafb.net/p/oVHWnp56.html | 21:43 |

| LjL | lanoxx, that's because kde-desktop is *not* the metapackage that Kubuntu is based on. kubuntu-desktop is. likewise, the metapackage that Ubuntu (GNOME) is based on is ubuntu-desktop. | 21:45 |

| Cybolic | aeolien: Actually I'm running Mint, but it's based on Hardy and uses its repos. | 21:53 |
| typeofkisses | And why it does this specifically for gnome-terminal and not other apps | 21:53 |
| Cybolic | aeolien: The ntfs-3g package was also from hardy repos. | 21:53 |
| aeolien | Cybolic: OK, sure! Here's a graphical config program: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config | 21:54 |
| aeolien | Or use Synaptic or Add/Remove to install it | 21:54 |
| Cybolic | aeolien: Thanks, I'll try that :) | 21:54 |
| Cybolic | aeolien: And thank you for your time. | 21:54 |

| keres_ | is photoshop cs3 supported in wine yet? | 22:21 |
| doug___ | what... | 22:21 |
| doug___ | dd | 22:21 |
| makito249 | I am trying to sort lines that all start with + or -. sort sorts by the first alphabetic letter it finds, how do I make it sort by the first character? | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb > keres_ | 22:21 |
| Buster_Hymen | ikonia: no i don't want to run as root | 22:21 |
| ubottu | keres_, please see my private message | 22:21 |
| ikonia | keres_: ask in #winehq | 22:21 |
| ikonia | Buster_Hymen: sudo is not just for root | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ open a terminal and type man dd | 22:22 |
| doug___ | ok | 22:22 |
| keres_ | thanks | 22:22 |
| Buster_Hymen | ikonia: oh really? so i can just enter the password of the respective user? | 22:22 |
| makito249 | sudo -u <username> | 22:22 |
| ikonia | Buster_Hymen: no you have to set it up in the sudoers file | 22:22 |
| Buster_Hymen | ikonia: where is that located? | 22:22 |
| peter1138 | rrplay, makes no difference | 22:22 |
| ikonia | Buster_Hymen: you edit it with the visudo command | 22:22 |
| rrplay | peter1138, defaualt white text ?? | 22:23 |
| doug___ | ok so i want to do a byte by byte copy | 22:23 |
| doug___ | from one drive to the next | 22:23 |
| makito249 | Buster_Hymen: I believe you can run a command as another user by running 'sudo -u <username>'. Maybe ikonia can correct me if I am wrong. | 22:23 |
| doug___ | and how long woudl that take for about 80 gb | 22:23 |
| moDumass | im reading the xrandr man pages but i dont understand what is going on, does anyone get xrandr? | 22:23 |
| ikonia | makito249: sure | 22:23 |
| LMosze | Jack_Sparrow: I gues it's the real thing i downloaded it from ubuntu.com for 2 days ago | 22:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ yes, but there are manay many apps , bootable cd's etc that can handle that | 22:23 |
| Buster_Hymen | okay i'll try both | 22:23 |
| Buster_Hymen | thanks a lot guys | 22:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LMosze ty, it helps us to know.. here is a basic help page for sound issues.. | 22:24 |
| rrplay | peter1138, did you apt-get upgrade from a gui ?? | 22:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sound | 22:24 |
| ubottu | 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 | 22:24 |
| mahfouz | why are the app icons in the panel different from the ones in the menu? | 22:24 |
| Lamo | is there any reason in particular why flash show grey lines while playing and locks up firefox and tops my CPU? | 22:24 |
| doug___ | ok...well i dont mind doing it via terminal, but if there is a gui it would be easier... | 22:24 |
| peter1138 | rrplay, i'd assume it's default white text, i've never changed it | 22:24 |
| typeofkisses | Ah yes the number increased to 6### when I tried it again which I didn't notice before | 22:24 |
| jedi06 | how do you get take a screen shot? | 22:24 |
| doug___ | also how long woudl you assume it would take to write 80gb to a new hdd | 22:24 |
| LMosze | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks allot! | 22:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ running a gui on the drive you want to backup can lead to problems | 22:25 |
| doug___ | the new hdd is fresh and just partitioned | 22:25 |
| peter1138 | rrplay, actually stopping and starting gdm has made a change -- switching to text console now turns the monitor off | 22:25 |
| rrplay | peter1138, play around abit and check it out | 22:25 |
| doug___ | because you wnat to have it unmounted | 22:25 |
| drowned | hey guys I'm having a problem. On battery my screen dims when its inactive but never comes back...does anyone else have this problem? | 22:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ you might want to google up hirenscd.. | 22:25 |
| Lamo | Or why we haven't received the nvidia 180 driver in an update yet? | 22:25 |
| gnutron | jedi06: print-screen button | 22:25 |
| eseven73 | jedi06: you could get a nice GUI screenshot program 'sudo apt-get install ksnapshots' | 22:25 |
| makito249 | Does anyone know how to sort a series of lines by the first character? sort will only sort by alphanumeric characters. | 22:25 |
| peter1138 | rrplay, oh, and the upgrade was done a while ago, several reboots since then, heh | 22:25 |
| jedi06 | I have gimp | 22:25 |
| rrplay | peter1138, you may have to reconfigure your xserver | 22:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > makito249 | 22:25 |
| ubottu | makito249, please see my private message | 22:25 |
| jedi06 | what about just a screnshot of a window not the whole screen | 22:26 |
| peter1138 | i'll try fiddling with rebooting | 22:26 |
| rrplay | peter1138, do you have any nvidia or ati drivers loaded ?? | 22:26 |
| gnutron | jedi06: maybe alt+print-screen | 22:26 |
| typeofkisses | Is there a chatroom just for questions about gnome and gnome-terminal ? | 22:26 |
| roosel | i just installed flash 10 and about:plugins lists shockwave flash and yet flash still doesnt work... | 22:26 |
| doug___ | looks like everything I need thanks | 22:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ great.. | 22:26 |
| jedi06 | got it | 22:26 |
| jedi06 | gnutron yup that is it | 22:27 |
| doug___ | oh i see that drive image does not have usb support | 22:27 |
| doug___ | guess im stuck using norton ghost | 22:27 |
| Lamo | roosel: its because flash doesn't work for crap under linux and never has | 22:27 |
| gnutron | typeofkisses: i don't know, sorry. /list will list channels, very server cpu intensive | 22:27 |
| roosel | it worked fine on 7.1 til flash 10 =( | 22:27 |
| roosel | 7.10* | 22:27 |
| mahfouz | ok, try again, question: why are the icons in the panel different from the ones in the menu? (In gnome) | 22:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ google up g4l ghost 4 linux.. they did change the name but that will get you there | 22:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ohmy > Lamo | 22:28 |

| fernando | hi | 22:28 |
| fernando | goodevening | 22:28 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest60711 | ||
| moDumass | rrplay do you know how to add unrecofniser resolutions to xrandr? | 22:28 |
| peter1138 | hmm | 22:28 |
| roosel | so flash 10 doesnt work on 8.04 ? | 22:29 |
| peter1138 | indeed, booting in single user gives me a text console up until X is started :o | 22:29 |
| roosel | does flash 9 ? | 22:29 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: works fine | 22:29 |
| kansan__ | how do i get the latest sun java (java6 u10)? | 22:29 |
| Lamo | roosel: did you install flash-nonfree | 22:29 |
| dr_willis | roosel, ive seen flash 10 work on 8.04 - but havent messed with it lately | 22:29 |
| doug___ | is that better then the cd you linked to jack | 22:29 |
| roosel | no i ran the .deb installed from the adobe website | 22:29 |
| rrplay | peter1138, do you have any ati or nvidia ddrivers ?? | 22:29 |
| roosel | installer* | 22:29 |
| peter1138 | yes, nvidia | 22:29 |
| Guest60711 | I am running 8.10 system , but when system starts options are only 8.04 ...is that normal? | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doug___ g4l is kinda dated, not sure it will do usb... just trying to point yoyou to a few options | 22:30 |
| rrplay | peter1138, there you go got to fix that ?? | 22:30 |
| Lamo | roosel: maybe you should use the repo one? also there are two other flash packages I had to install last night to get my desktop working | 22:30 |
| gnutron | kansan__: sun-java6-jre i think | 22:30 |
| roosel | Lamo what were the other packages | 22:30 |
| rrplay | peter1138, try reinstalling those properly | 22:30 |
| gwennn | rose: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 22:30 |
| peter1138 | properly? heh | 22:30 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: enable partner repos and refresh package list. flash-plugin should be there | 22:31 |
| rrplay | peter1138, you changed kernels so you may have to simply reinstall them | 22:31 |
| roosel | you cant apt-get flash plugin no more... | 22:31 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: in synaptic of course | 22:31 |
| Lamo | roosel: gnash and swf mozilla not sure the exact names | 22:31 |
| Lamo | roosel: firefox should ask you if you want to install them | 22:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info flashplugin-nonfree | 22:31 |
| ubottu | flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.12.36ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 22:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roosel It sure looks like it is in the repos | 22:32 |
| roosel | go ahead and try it jack | 22:32 |
| roosel | you get a 404 | 22:32 |
| Guest60711 | is it normal I have only 8.04 options at start when my system is updated to 8.10? | 22:32 |
| roosel | Gust60711 what options do you refer to ? | 22:32 |
| Guest60711 | I am referring to start up options | 22:33 |
| Guest60711 | systems on start up | 22:33 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: adobe-flashplugin | 22:33 |
| Guest60711 | and thx roosel for asking | 22:33 |
| j0sh-x1 | !adobe-flashplugin | 22:33 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:33 |
| mcquaid | join #nvidia | 22:34 |
| Guest60711 | I am not intelligent as well and I am not a bot | 22:34 |
| roosel | Guest60711 did you upgrade the system or was it a fresh 8.10 install ? | 22:34 |
| Vantrax | mornin all | 22:34 |
| Guest60711 | I did upgrade | 22:34 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: found it? | 22:34 |
| dniel | is posible to install an ubuntu base-system? | 22:34 |
| dniel | like debian? | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | dniel, dependiosn on what you mean. theres the ubuntu 'jeos' thats a very minimal system. | 22:35 |
| roosel | j0sh-x1 this is what happens if you try apt-get that Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 22:35 |
| Vantrax | yes, you can install debian | 22:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roosel Sure seems to be there for me.. and here too http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/flashplugin-nonfree/download | 22:35 |
| rrplay | peter1138, check this out http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html | 22:35 |
| funkyHat | dniel: like the ubuntu server install? | 22:35 |
| Buster_Hymen | dniel: are you talking about a cli-only system? | 22:35 |
| mcquaid | i've never had a problem before getting vsync to work in linux (usually as long as I disable compiz) | 22:35 |
| peter1138 | ah, i've just removed/purged all nvidia stuff | 22:35 |
| mcquaid | but even with compiz disabled i can't get vsync working in opengl games | 22:35 |
| peter1138 | and removed the x config | 22:35 |
| Vantrax | dniel, most linux versions now are based off redhat or debian, but there isnt really a 'base' system | 22:36 |
| mcquaid | i checked vsync in game, in the nvidia config and tried export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1 | 22:36 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: do you have partner repos enabled? | 22:36 |
| jedi06 | how do you see how large a directory is | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | dniel, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos | 22:36 |
| mcquaid | driver version 177.80 | 22:36 |
| rrplay | peter1138, seee the link above | 22:36 |
| peter1138 | just need to reconfigure X... it's set me up in a lovely 1024x768 interlaced mode | 22:36 |
| toptnc | hi all | 22:36 |
| peter1138 | i will when i get to a browser | 22:36 |
| roosel | j0sh-x1 no i do not | 22:36 |
| dniel | dr_willis: yes I wanna install a base system and then I wanna install my component like kdebase and other aplications | 22:36 |
| toptnc | anyone knows why toshiba_acpi module has been removed from stock kernel? | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | dniel, i dont see the point in doing that.. but its doable. | 22:36 |
| Buster_Hymen | dniel: you can either install ubuntu-server or do a cli-only install with the ubuntu-minimal cd | 22:37 |
| Vantrax | dniel, you'd be better off building a distro from scratch using some of the tools | 22:37 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: enable, refresh list, check | 22:37 |
| Guest60711 | roosel: did you get my answer? | 22:37 |
| roosel | Guest60711 if you manually upgraded your system then you would have to manual edit your grub / boot loader | 22:37 |
| jedi06 | How do you see the size of a directory? | 22:37 |
| dniel | because ubuntu come whit a lot of tools and aplications that I don't use | 22:37 |
| Guest60711 | I get the update automatically | 22:37 |
| roosel | j0sh-x1 honestly im not sure how to add an alternate repo | 22:38 |
| dniel | and I like the fresh instalation | 22:38 |
| peter1138 | rrplay, heh, none of that seems relevant... X itself was working perfectly with the nvidia setup... | 22:38 |
| onetinsoldier | hi all | 22:38 |
| rrplay | peter1138, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 22:38 |
| Guest60711 | and it installed well it seems | 22:38 |
| dniel | and then with aptitude install only that I'll use | 22:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rrplay that does next to nothing in the new release of ub | 22:38 |
| Buster_Hymen | dniel: you could also try remastering an installation cd | 22:38 |
| roosel | Guest60711 and you are most likely using 8.10 atm and just need to update the words in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 22:38 |
| dniel | Buster_Hymen: what is cli-only? | 22:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dniel command line interface | 22:39 |
| rrplay | on x 8.10 xubuntu | 22:39 |
| mcquaid | is there a bug in 177.80 with vsync? | 22:39 |
| dniel | OK! but I don't need a server. I wanna a desktop OS | 22:39 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: start synaptic, use settings menu, select "repositories", go to third party software tab, check the box in line with partner | 22:39 |
| Buster_Hymen | dniel: cli-only is as barebone as it gets. there's no graphical interface--only a command prompt. You'd have to install X and GDM and Gnome and all that yourself | 22:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal > dniel | 22:39 |
| ubottu | dniel, please see my private message | 22:39 |
| Guest60711 | roosel: Is there a command I can make on console and print out to let you find out more accurately? | 22:40 |
| Guest60711 | what is the command to list the system? | 22:40 |
| Vantrax | dniel, the difference between server and desktop is applications and hardening | 22:40 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: then close, refresh list of packages. adobe-flashplugin should be there | 22:40 |
| roosel | anyone know what the cl command is to list version ? | 22:40 |
| roosel | josh-x1 im not sure i have synaptic | 22:40 |
| gnutron | roosel: lsb_release -a | 22:40 |
| dniel | Vantrax: and the kernel? | 22:40 |
| roosel | see that Guest60711 ? | 22:41 |
| gnutron | dniel: uname -a | 22:41 |
| Vantrax | dniel, kernels will be the same base across all linux, just with different extra bits to harden or limit services | 22:41 |
| Vantrax | Anyone know how to edit the apps menu for all users? | 22:42 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: system ->settings -> synaptic package manager | 22:42 |
| xiamx | Is there a way to make ubuntu console fancy & colorful | 22:42 |
| gnutron | Vantrax: alacarte i believe | 22:42 |
| rrplay | peter1138, do you have any desktop effects active ? | 22:42 |
| peter1138 | not currently | 22:42 |
| Guest60711 | see that? | 22:42 |
| rrplay | peter1138, and still no text | 22:42 |
| gnutron | xiamx: edit the default profile, in the terminal menu. | 22:42 |
| peter1138 | am installing nvidia-glx-177... will see what happens | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | xiamx, if You mean the alt-ctrl-f1 'consoles' you can enable the framebuffer and do all sorts of tweaks to it. | 22:43 |
| xiamx | gnutron, I'm not talking about xterm. I mean the native console | 22:43 |
| roosel | j0sh-x1 thx | 22:43 |
| gnutron | xiamx: also edit ~/.bashrc but back it up first. | 22:43 |
| ompaul | Guest19019, you asked what is the command to list the system, if the command you want is uname -a great if not then your question means nothing to me and needs to be written again | 22:43 |
| rrplay | peter1138, sure just try ing to get it for you | 22:43 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: np, glad to help | 22:43 |
| dniel | but... are there any minimal desktop ubuntu? | 22:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest60711 That question was rather vague | 22:44 |
| xiamx | dr_willis: what should I do after enable framebuffer? | 22:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dniel You have been told and shown repeatedly.. the link | 22:44 |
| Guest60711 | roosel : it seems it did not update, in fact | 22:44 |
| frankS2 | anyone know where this is? http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/679/testri5.jpg | 22:44 |
| dr_willis | xiamx, thers several wiki pages on the topic. to enable it - i edit the grub menu.lst to set the proper vga=MODE you will then be able to set different res/modes and fonts, the fbset tool can let you set other things. | 22:45 |
| Guest60711 | it reports 8.04 hardy | 22:45 |
| LjL | frankS2: just what does this have to do with Ubuntu? | 22:45 |
| ompaul | dniel, answer yes: location http://www.xubuntu.com | 22:45 |
| roosel | Guest60711 what were you using to update, typically I use a new installation when upgrading but I use several partitions which makes that more painless | 22:45 |
| xiamx | gnutron: what should I edit in bashrc? | 22:45 |
| xiamx | dr_willis: Thanks, I'm trying it out now | 22:45 |
| kristian1 | Newbie Question : i have irssi installed. if i now type "sudo apt-get install irssi", will it then install the latest version or will nothing happen since it is already installed? | 22:45 |
| gnutron | xiamx: there are some lines you can un-comment to add color | 22:45 |
| dniel | ompaul: no. It's a ubuntu whit Xfce | 22:46 |
| gnutron | xiamx: also some useful aliases | 22:46 |
| Slart | kristian1: it will probably just report that nothing was installed | 22:46 |
| j0sh-x1 | Guest60711: 8.04 is long time support, wont upgrade to 8.10 unless forced | 22:46 |
| dr_willis | xiamx, theres a great many bash howto/guides/tips on tweaking the bashrc, or other bash customization tips. the ABS guide is worth reading. | 22:46 |
| Vantrax | dniel, just check out the different versions of ubuntu, im sure one or two will work. There should be a configuration with what your looking for, else build your own, there are guides online. | 22:46 |
| ompaul | dniel, that is the smallest official ubuntu based distro there is no gnome light version if that is your question | 22:46 |
| Slart | kristian1: since it's already installed.. you can run "sudo apt-get install --reinstall irssi" to make it reinstall it.. if that's what you want | 22:46 |
| Slart | !minimal | 22:46 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:47 |
| xiamx | dr_willis: gnutron: thank you for your help | 22:47 |
| gnutron | xiamx: just read the file carefully, you'll see. | 22:47 |
| xiamx | gnutron: I'm doing it | 22:47 |
| kristian1 | Slart : but if i am using an older version of irssi, and atp got a newer version, will it automatically update if i type "sudo apt-get install irssi"? | 22:47 |
| peter1138 | heh | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | kristian1, it should upgrade. yes | 22:47 |
| peter1138 | seems to work | 22:47 |
| rrplay | peter1138, got text ?? | 22:48 |
| peter1138 | but "Hardware Drivers" thinks no proprietary drivers are installed... how odd | 22:48 |
| Slart | kristian1: I don't think so.. I think you'd have to run "apt-get upgrade" for it to upgrade .. I'm not entirely sure though | 22:48 |
| fernando | I am back | 22:48 |
| kristian1 | dr_willis : ok, good! ) | 22:48 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest82585 | ||
| Guest82585 | I was talking with roosel | 22:48 |
| kristian1 | Slart : hmmm. ok. :( | 22:48 |
| rrplay | peter1138, you got nvidia-settings and accel render ?? etc ?? | 22:48 |
| gnutron | kristian1: you'll only get the version that the repositories are synced with. | 22:48 |
| j0sh-x1 | roosel: found that plugin? I'm pretty curious :) | 22:49 |
| Guest82585 | Guest82585 ok | 22:49 |
| Slart | kristian1: this is only valid if you installed the older version using apt too... apt cannot upgrade something you installed manually afaik | 22:49 |
| gnutron | kristian1: building newer versions can break dependancies, hence your system. | 22:49 |
| Slart | kristian1: but this is only a questions of semantics.. right? if you upgrade irssi by running "apt-get install irssi" or "apt-get upgrade" doesn't really matter.. the end result is the same, or? | 22:49 |
| kristian1 | gnutron : ok, so will i have to sync the repo myself or does it happen auto? | 22:49 |
| Guest82585 | roosel : so it seems i am still on 8.04 and I thought I was on 8.10 thx.... no problem with that ... | 22:50 |
| kristian1 | Slart : ok, that should be no problem since, i used apt-get to get irssi at first. | 22:50 |
| gnutron | kristian1: update and upgrade will keep you in sync | 22:50 |
| rrplay | peter1138, when you are good to go save that xorg.conf | 22:50 |
| Slart | kristian1: "sudo apt-get update" will sync your packagelists with the ones from the repos | 22:50 |
| Guest82585 | but now when I am trying to get updates, my application for updates locks and it is not possible to force it to shut down! | 22:51 |
| kristian1 | gnutron & Slart : oh! i thought this was automatic! :-P | 22:51 |
| gnutron | kristian1: it can be, that is configurable. | 22:51 |
| Slart | kristian1: check in system, administration, software sources, under the "updates" page | 22:51 |
| gnutron | Slart: thank you. | 22:52 |
| kristian1 | ok, so now im updated! :D | 22:52 |
| Guest82585 | welcome back roosel | 22:52 |
| kristian1 | well, i dont really need it to be automatic, just wondering. :) | 22:52 |
| kristian1 | thanks! :) | 22:52 |
| ejer | does anyone know a way to make an encrypted file that can be decrypted without other software (except maybe a linux OS), like a self-extracting zip file? | 22:53 |
| gnutron | kristian1: most ppl prefer to be notified first, thats the default setting. | 22:53 |
| xiamx | how to calculate vga value for framebuffer? if I want 1440x900 24bit, what's the correspond vga value? | 22:53 |
| gnutron | ejer: gnupg is a powerful encryption program. | 22:54 |
| Slart | xiamx: I don't think you calculate it.. you look it up in a list.. google for "vga code" or something like that | 22:54 |
| dathrien | motd/ | 22:54 |
| dniel | Vantrax: I need a distribution like debian. It ask about if you need a base system or a system with gnome | 22:54 |
| kristian1 | gnutron : so sudo apt-get update will sync my list with repo, and sudo apt-get upgrade will upgrade everything ive installed according to repo? :) | 22:54 |
| elvis | ola tudo bem | 22:54 |
| gnutron | ejer: actually, gnupg is the package name. gpg is the program. | 22:54 |
| xiamx | Slart: then how to get the value? | 22:54 |
| ejer | gnutron: yeah I have used most encryption progs, I want something someone could download on a brand new system and decrypt (maybe with no internet, ie off usb, so I can't assume they can install anything) | 22:54 |
| dniel | with ubuntu is it posible? | 22:54 |
| gnutron | kristian1: correct | 22:54 |
| Slart | xiamx: I don't think you calculate it.. you look it up in a list.. google for "vga code" or something like that | 22:55 |
| sybux | hi all | 22:55 |
| dniel | I need ubuntu because it have newer package | 22:55 |
| sybux | anyone know how to change by default the TERM variable to xterm-color in the gnome-terminal ? | 22:55 |
| gnutron | ejer: gpg is the linux equivalent to PGP by phil zimmerman | 22:55 |
| kristian1 | gnutron : excellent! :) thanks for your and Slart's time. :) | 22:55 |
| Slart | kristian1: you're welcome | 22:55 |
| Guest82585 | when i try "system/administration/ updates/verify" my application for updates get in an infinite loop ... anyone knows how to solve it? | 22:55 |
| xiamx | Slart, ok thanks | 22:55 |
| octo_ | what is the kernel named in ubuntu ? | 22:55 |
| ejer | gnutron: i know :) I use it... but it is not installed by default | 22:55 |
| Slart | !info linux-image | 22:56 |
| ubottu | linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.27.9.13 (intrepid), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB | 22:56 |
| temppy | octo_: linux? | 22:56 |
| Slart | vmlinuz something? I'm not really sure what file contains the kernel.. | 22:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest82585 have you made any changes to your sources.list | 22:56 |
| octo_ | what is linux-generic? | 22:57 |
| Guest82585 | recently, yes ... and I want to know if there are fresh updates | 22:57 |
| Slart | !info linux-generic | 22:57 |
| ubottu | linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.27.9.13 (intrepid), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB | 22:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest82585 I would think you have something wrong in there | 22:57 |
| gnutron | octo_: vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic in intrepid | 22:57 |
| Slart | octo_: neither of these are the actual kernel package though.. check the size.. 2kb is a bit small.. | 22:58 |
| Guest82585 | Jack_Sparrow: so doI | 22:58 |
| Slart | !info linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic | 22:58 |
| ubottu | linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic (source: linux): Linux kernel image for version 2.6.27 on x86/x86_64. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.27-9.19 (intrepid), package size 22848 kB, installed size 92124 kB | 22:58 |
| Slart | that's the one with the actual kernel, octo_ | 22:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest82585 stick it into the pastebin so someone can look it over | 22:59 |
| kristian1 | Slart & gnutron : one more question! :-P im currently using my ubuntu machine over putty, but when im on my machine and looking at the gui, there is a red icon at the top, update manager. this is where i can update everything manually via gui. will "sudo apt-get upgrade" do the same as updating through the gui update manager? sorry, this might be a stupid question:-P | 22:59 |
| ejer | compiled kernels are in /boot/ | 22:59 |
| sybux | anyone know how to change by default the TERM variable to xterm-color in the gnome-terminal ? | 22:59 |
| gnutron | kristian1: that signifies updates are ready. | 23:00 |
| Slart | kristian1: not a stupid question.. I think the update-manager uses apt "behind the scenes" to do the actual work.. | 23:00 |
| octo_ | when a new kernel gets installed via update, doesnt it automatically change menu.lst to use the new kernel ? | 23:00 |
| Slart | kristian1: so it should be the same either way | 23:00 |
| Slart | octo_: afaik, yes | 23:00 |
| gnutron | octo_: yes it does update grub. | 23:00 |
| octo_ | i have new than 2.6.24-19 installed but still using -19 in menu.lst | 23:00 |
| Guest82585 | how can I make it? | 23:00 |
| kristian1 | gnutron : ok, but it is the same thing? | 23:00 |
| moDumass | hey all, i can now scroll around a 1440x900 desktop on my no more than im guessing 800x600 screen | 23:01 |
| ejer | sybux: not sure if this does what you want, but to set env: export TERM=xterm-color | 23:01 |
| Slart | octo_: I think it run "sudo update-grub" which searches the /boot/ folder for kernels and adds them to the menu.lst | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pm > dniel | 23:01 |
| ubottu | dniel, please see my private message | 23:01 |
| kristian1 | Slart : ok, that is good! :) | 23:01 |
| moDumass | please just point me in the right direction, i cant fix this | 23:01 |
| octo_ | ill try that and see if it works | 23:01 |
| gnutron | kristian1: apt-get update apt-get upgrade does the same thing, correct. | 23:01 |
| craigbass1976 | was edgy 7.04? Is it too late to do a feisty upgrade? I'm trying to get a box up to at least gutsy | 23:01 |
| sybux | ejer: this is the good thing, but I want it to be by default | 23:02 |
| Slart | !upgrade | craigbass1976, see if there are any info here | 23:02 |
| ubottu | craigbass1976, see if there are any info here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:02 |
| kristian1 | gnutron : ok tha's what i needed to hear! ::) | 23:02 |
| craigbass1976 | Slart, was 7.04 edgy? | 23:02 |
| ejer | sybux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables (scroll down to persistent) | 23:02 |
| moDumass | its like, my screen system>preferences>screen res says 1440x900 50hz but im in 800x600 panning around theat desktop | 23:02 |
| Slart | craigbass1976: I can't really remember the names for all the releases.. sorry | 23:03 |
| Slart | !edgy | 23:03 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. | 23:03 |
| gwennn | octo it must ask you if you want to change menu.lst | 23:03 |
| Slart | tadaaa! | 23:03 |
| === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz | ||
| supernix2 | You know one thing come to mind last night while I was upgrading the Vista box I own and that was there is nothing freely available that tracks and updates all programs installed on Vista like you can with Ubuntu | 23:03 |
| dniel | <Jack_Sparrow> If you persist, I will have to assume yuo are a troll... You have all the answers you needed | 23:03 |
| kristian1 | Slart & gnutron : this would mean i can keep the machine fully updated from another computer via ssh. :) thanks a lot! :-D | 23:03 |
| sybux | ejer: thanx, I will have a look | 23:03 |
| octo_ | ok, grub said it found 2.6.24.22-generic, and said it updated menu.lst, but when I look in menu.lst, it didnt change anything ? | 23:03 |
| craigbass1976 | Slart, nope, did a lsb_release -a and I'm in feisty. Wonder why the upgrade borked... | 23:03 |
| Slart | kristian1: indeed... you can run ubuntu without using gnome/kde.. then apt-get and friends is all you've got | 23:04 |
| gnutron | kristian1: yes you most certainly can. | 23:04 |
| supernix2 | Gnome is working much better for me than KDE was so far | 23:04 |
| moDumass | this is my xrandr output, its messed up http://pastebin.com/d17cf4675 | 23:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | craigbass1976 because feisty has reached eol | 23:04 |
| gwennn | octo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:04 |
| gnutron | kristian1: aptitude is yet another option to do the same thing as apt-get or synaptic. | 23:05 |
| supernix2 | I kept having issues about KDE becoming non responsive after going into sleep mode | 23:05 |
| onetinsoldier | octo_: you didn't have the file open already before you ran update-grub did you? | 23:05 |
| gwennn | octo run as root | 23:05 |
| craigbass1976 | Jack_Sparrow, right, just got sources.list updated so I can grab stuff | 23:05 |
| wsgordon_ | this version of xchat sucks i cant see the on the server. | 23:06 |
| Noxz | I have a bad vfat on a second harddrive after accidently filling up the space...what took should I apt-get ? | 23:07 |
| kristian1 | gnutron : will have a look at that. :) | 23:07 |
| Noxz | to try to fix | 23:07 |
| kristian1 | !aptitude | 23:08 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 23:08 |
| supernix2 | j | 23:08 |
| PeskyJ | is it possible to transfer running X applications to a different logged in user? like xchat for example, if I need to log in as a different user but keep it open, without having to switch users all the time to get back to this window? | 23:08 |
| danielbw | I have the latest catalyst drivers, 8.12 installed on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 for amd64. I bought two ATI FireGL V3600's so I can stretch one big desktop across four monitors. I am only able to setup two big desktops: one per gpu, but with two screens each. There is no way to join all four screens to one big desktop. How can I set it up so that i can have one big desktop across all four monitors without enabing xinerama? | 23:09 |
| Slart | is aptitude really a front end to apt? I'm starting to wonder sometimes.. since I've heard people claim they work differently and not everything installed using aptitude can be uninstalled using apt.. | 23:09 |
| LjL | Slart: the latter part is nonsense, but aptitude is indeed a bit "sui generis" | 23:09 |
| Slart | PeskyJ: I don't think there's an easy way.. I tried doing some time ago but all I found was half-finished apps and drivers.. | 23:09 |
| gnutron | Slart: they all use /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:09 |
| kristian1 | Slart : dunno! anyways i think ill just stick with apt-get for the time being! :) it's official so. | 23:09 |
| five_ | where can i get syntax help with aircrack | 23:10 |
| LjL | Slart: it's got its own logic for handling unused dependencies (it was the first APT interface to have any, before "autoremove" was implemented in Ubuntu's apt-get) | 23:10 |
| gnutron | Slart: i think anyway, pretty sure. | 23:10 |
| PeskyJ | Slart: I figured out how to run xchat as my user when logged in as someone else, using xhost, just thought it'd be nice if I could transfer it around too | 23:10 |
| Slart | thank you all.. and thanks Ljl.. my latin vocabulary is a little bit bigger now =) | 23:11 |
| LjL | five_: have you tried « man <programname> » and « programname --help » ? | 23:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | five_ not here.. perhaps networking or some other | 23:11 |
| CyberGabber | PeskyJ: I'm not sure,<but i believe Package 'screen' will do ( detach /atach screens ) on terminals | 23:11 |
| dahump | lart | 23:11 |

| kristian1 | Slart & gnutron : this is the last question from me now! i promise! ;-D once ive done sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, i wont have to restart my machine, right? it will upgrade and everything will run fine? hopefully. | 23:12 |
| PeskyJ | CyberGabber: I use screen on my server machine... I thought it was just a command line thingy.. you mean you can transfer X-apps with it too? | 23:12 |
| onetinsoldier | apt an aptitudes daddy is dselect | 23:12 |
| Slart | kristian1: you'll have to reboot if you've upgraded your kernel.. but otherwise you should be fine | 23:12 |
| Slart | kristian1: note.. it won't force you to reboot.. but you won't be running the new kernel until you do | 23:13 |
| kristian1 | Slart : what if i am running irssi and then i upgrade irssi, will there be no problem? | 23:13 |
| kristian1 | Slart : ok, thats good. :) | 23:13 |
| CyberGabber | PeskyJ: I'm sorry, only tested it once with terminals. | 23:13 |
| mcquaid | is there a list or something to see typical outputs of sensors (from lm-sensors) for various processors? | 23:13 |
| Slart | kristian1: I'm not really sure about that one.. | 23:13 |
| === Mez_ is now known as Mez | ||
| Slart | kristian1: my personal guess is that you'll keep running the older one until you restart it | 23:14 |
| kristian1 | Slart : alright no problem. i got a lot of help so thanks. | 23:14 |
| PeskyJ | kristian1: it should be ok, but you will have to restart to run th enew version fo rmost apps.. some apps might have a soft-reboot where they save-state, restart, and reload state | 23:14 |
| octo_ | is the program adepto in the repos, or is that something e-fence adds to their Helix ubuntu version ? | 23:14 |

| kristian1 | PeskyJ : ok, as long as nothing stops running, all is good. | 23:15 |
| gnutron | drowned: they work for free, takes time. | 23:15 |
| DigitalFiz | drowned, im sure there is but as its open source im pretty sure they have regular jobs too | 23:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !samba > Rew | 23:16 |
| ubottu | Rew, please see my private message | 23:16 |
| onetinsoldier | drowned: because linux and distros are not big corporations. and even big corporations have limited resources. in linux most things are worked on for free, part-time or what have you. something to think about | 23:16 |
| Rew | Jack_Sparrow I have samba installed | 23:16 |
| kristian1 | PeskyJ : yeah, im using screen. thanks for the heads up. :) whenever i update i guess ill just shut down everything for a small period of time, and let it update and reboot if kernal update. :-D | 23:17 |
| shake-it | Can i upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 8.10 using the normal CD i.e not the alternate CD???? | 23:17 |
| derklempner | Speaking of shared Windows folders, is it common to see file copy errors from a shared NTFS network drive when copying files to my EXT3 partitions? | 23:18 |

| gbear14275 | anyone know of any equalizer packages? | 23:35 |
| russK | can /boot partition be on RAID1 device? | 23:35 |
| keres_ | if you sudo mv will it merge or delete/replace a folder? | 23:35 |
| un_dave | russK: is raid1 mirror or stripe? i forget | 23:36 |
| gnutron | keres_: mv will move anything anywhere if its allowed. | 23:36 |
| russK | raid1 is mirror (i believe - that's my intent) | 23:36 |
| chilli0 | is there a net split going on? | 23:36 |
| gbear14275 | I am really surprised there are not any linux equalizer pacakges or controls :-/ | 23:36 |
| un_dave | russK: in theory, you can boot off mirror, because it just sees one instance of the drive, and uses that. | 23:36 |
| gnutron | keres_: avoid mv to different filesystems | 23:36 |
| n8tuser2 | gbear14275-> what does that do? | 23:37 |

| Artanis00 | I need to move a copy of /home into the parent directory (I copied the old /home to a partition in preparation to move /home off of the root partition (user error upon install)) but ended up with an extraneous home folder in the tree (eg: /media/newhome/home) so when I try to mount the partition as /home it looks like /home/home. I know I need to grab all the hidden files and links so what command can I use to do that? | 23:38 |
| gbear14275 | n8tuser2: basically an equalizer adjusts the sound output of certain frequincies... the treble/bass controls on your radio is in effect a 2 band equalizer | 23:38 |
| un_dave | russK: i think i managed to get it to boot from the mirror, but never managed to get it to mount the rest of the raid 5, to start the rest of the system. | 23:38 |
| russK | un_dave: also, grub docs don't say much about it | 23:38 |
| gnutron | U-b-u-n-t-u: that usually indicates a memory leak or other problem. | 23:38 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | gnutron memory leak? | 23:39 |
| un_dave | russK: yeah. on topics like that, i found the documentation very very sparse | 23:39 |
| gbear14275 | a 31 band EQ for short would have controls to cut up to 31 different different frequency ranges | 23:39 |

| moDumass | any ideas on how to get widescreen compiz and 1440x900 going | 23:42 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | gnutron I thought of that so I tried 4 other avi files and they all ran the cpu up to 100% | 23:42 |
| moDumass | i cant get that happy combo working | 23:42 |
