| bjmuggs | elgrco: i found one but when i boot it it can;t seem to install it | 00:01 |

| outboard | raylu is there an easy way of binding to a particular address ? | 00:05 |

| linuxman410 | has anyone else tried to make a lean install of ubuntu the article on how to do it is on distrowatch | 00:07 |
| rww | nicklas_: they're two different non-Ubuntu distributions based on Ubuntu, neither of which we can provide support for here. Try asking on the forums for each distro. | 00:07 |
| Saga_ | nicklas_: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=32606 | 00:07 |
| elgreco | linuxman410, if you want a lean ubuntu, just go with gentoo or something like that | 00:08 |

| uber_noober | is there an option to install grub on root partition for chainloading purposes? I didn't see one when I tried installing ubuntu | 00:10 |
| kitche | uber_noober: using the alternate cd yes and by hand yes | 00:10 |
| coolyum | what happened to the port for bsd-airtools | 00:10 |
| temppy | Samba isnt working for me, on Intrepid. It used to work on Hardy. Any suggestions? | 00:10 |
| vaxius | uber_noober: yes, manual install, though | 00:11 |
| coolyum | i want dstumbler but i guess freebsd removed it from the ports tree | 00:11 |
| vaxius | !grub | uber_noober | 00:11 |
| ubottu | uber_noober: 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 | 00:11 |
| nicklas_ | Saga_: i have read it now, think im gonna stick with my installed eeebuntu 2.0, based on ubuntu 8.10 ... it has a better look, and the awm by default | 00:11 |
| uber_noober | vaxius: i'm trying to multiboot and i have installed grub on its own partition. trying to chainload. should i install ubuntu via the alternate install cd? | 00:11 |
| uber_noober | will that give me an option to select where grub is placed? | 00:12 |
| _chris___ | raylu, did u get all of the info u needed? | 00:12 |
| vaxius | uber_noober: you could just use the regular desktop cd, and then reinstall grub manually afterwards; i'm not aware of an option during install | 00:12 |
| coolyum | ne one have problems with wireless ex wlan0:avahi taking place of wlan0 | 00:13 |
| uber_noober | coolyum: i did | 00:13 |
| uber_noober | it was a pain to get ridd off | 00:13 |
| raylu | _chris___: ...you got kicked. like the bot and i said, use pastebin | 00:14 |
| hypnus9 | Uber_noober: doesn't grub just install to the root partition by default on install? | 00:14 |
| CarlFK | would runing apt-proxy cause "untrusted versions of the following packages... xserver-xorg" (and 100 or so more.. proably all of them) | 00:14 |
| JCDG | hello, has someone fully implemented SElinux on Intrepid?? | 00:14 |
| vaxius | hypnus9: no, it installs to mbr by default | 00:14 |
| coolyum | i got ubuntu 8.04 on one of my old laptops and it does it everytime i restart | 00:14 |
| Dom | Hi guys, just a quick question hw long does ubuntu take to load on average and on its first ever start up? | 00:14 |
| hypnus9 | Oh ok. I have my /boot file on a separate partition right now. | 00:15 |
| uber_noober | hypnus9: yes, but I already have grubs on its own partition sda1, so I'm trying to chainload the multi os-es, and i don't want ubuntu installing a new grub on the mbr | 00:15 |
| l7 | Dom: about 2-3 minutes, depending your system | 00:15 |
| vaxius | Dom: depends on your system, but mine is about 30 seconds i think | 00:15 |
| hypnus9 | uber_noober:ok | 00:15 |
| CarlFK | Dom does that include the "indexting" thing? | 00:15 |
| _chris___ | raylu, how do i use pastebin? i dont see that on y screen | 00:15 |
| vaxius | l7: 2-3 MINUTES? wow, that's a long time | 00:16 |
| hypnus9 | uber_noober: have you just tried editing /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 00:16 |
| Dom | Thanks, that means i have a problem then, mine is hanging when it begins loading scsi devices | 00:16 |
| l7 | vaxius: well maybe 1-2. i've got a rather slow drive | 00:16 |
| coolyum | did u run a script to fix prevent wlan0:avahi from starting at boot or did u blacklist the driver | 00:16 |
| uber_noober | see that's not the problem | 00:16 |
| uber_noober | hypnus9: that's not my problem, i already have dbian and slackware running, but i tried isntalling ubuntu and it's not giving me an option to install grub on its own root partition | 00:17 |
| uber_noober | coolyum: do u use ndiswrapper? | 00:17 |
| raylu | !pastebin | _chris___ | 00:18 |
| ubottu | _chris___: 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) | 00:18 |
| zsquareplusc | uber_noober: let it do it and then reinstall your own grub with your own menu.lst. it's probably the fastest way | 00:18 |
| _chris___ | raylu, ubottu thanks ill post the stuff there | 00:18 |
| coolyum | no my driver is native (ralink chip) rum4 driver | 00:18 |
| uber_noober | yeah, but do u connect via the network manager? | 00:19 |
| hypnus9 | uber_noober: are you trying to make more than 4 primary partitions on /dev/sda? | 00:19 |
| uber_noober | hypnus9: ??? | 00:20 |

| Ward1983 | zsquareplusc, the casper-rw partition and file are only for the home dir or also for installed applications? | 00:26 |
| zsquareplusc | Ward1983: not sure. one is -rw and the other -cow i think one of them is for the entire disk | 00:27 |
| DarkKnight | SlimeyPete; i just wanted to partition such that when I keep installing packages...i should not run of disk space and also i should have maximum capacity to store my personal files | 00:27 |
| Ward1983 | zsquareplusc, ah then i must have missed a part i only read about -rw | 00:27 |
| zsquareplusc | DarkKnight: then dont make separate /home partition. (though i prefer to have one) | 00:28 |
| eseven73 | DarkKnight: you got a 160 gig hdd, stop worrying lol | 00:28 |
| eseven73 | plenty of room | 00:28 |
| Dj_Luck_E | wowo i never left here lol | 00:28 |
| SlimeyPete | Oh. Give 40GB to /, the rest to /home. 40GB should be more than enough for every package you could ever want, and then some. | 00:28 |
| Dj_Luck_E | so i want both xp and ubuntu | 00:29 |
| DarkKnight | zsquareplusc; eseven73; so while instllation if i opt for "entire disk" option i.e let it select its own way of partitioning.....so wouldn't be there any problem | 00:29 |
| Dj_Luck_E | i love partitioning drives | 00:29 |
| l7 | zsquareplusc: hey thanks for that tip. are there any downsides to the profile message besides slowing down the next boot though? | 00:30 |

| Jack_Sparrow | koshar1 good point, I wrongly assume people will get that part right | 00:58 |
| Ward1983 | zsquareplusc, yep just a partition labeled home-rw and a partition called casper-rw will do for full persistence :) jsut tested with the regular 8.10 install cd | 00:58 |

| Formode | mrcollins, Ok, well, there's two ways we can do this. :) We can go try to enable the right plugin for you to do it, or we can just revert back to default compiz settings, up to you. :) | 01:43 |
| usser | weasel8, and the dvd plays on windows or other players? | 01:43 |
| MrCollins | Formode, lets go default, how do we do it? | 01:43 |
| MrCollins | Formode, where do I select defaults? | 01:43 |
| weasel8 | usser: plays fine on my other laptop, which runs arch linux (this one is for my sister) | 01:43 |

| Formode | mrcollins, have you tried launching it (If it's there) from the GNOME menu? Applications -> Games | 01:47 |

| koshar1 | weasel8 run an app from terminal and look for errors | 01:47 |
| weasel8 | koshar1: ok, let's see | 01:48 |
| usser | weasel8, try reinstalling libdvdcss2. sudo dpkg --purge libdvdcss2 | 01:48 |
| evilGUI | I just installed a murrine them and it's not skinning gedit any idea why? | 01:48 |
| usser | weasel8, and sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 01:48 |
| MrCollins | Formode, nothing there | 01:48 |
| MrCollins | Formode, I have to issue terminal commands | 01:48 |
| Formode | mrcollins, Did you install it from a .deb file? | 01:49 |
| evilGUI | ah nm its because I used sudo | 01:49 |
| MrCollins | Formode, | 01:49 |
| MrCollins | Formode, yeh. | 01:49 |
| Formode | mrcollins, can you pastebin the output from your terminal when you try to launch it for me? | 01:49 |
| Formode | !Pastebin | Mrcollins | 01:49 |
| weasel8 | koshar1: running gxine from the terminal, I get this error: for a bunch of different files: warning: configuration item media.dvd.raw_device points to a non-existent location /dev/rdvd | 01:49 |

| MrCollins | Formode, thanks I know about pastebin and Ill post the output there | 01:50 |
| weasel8 | killer--tux: i don't know what you mean. you mean when somebody puts it in their computer, a menu automatically pops up? | 01:50 |

| MrCollins | Formode, what are you talking about? please dont post my output there? | 01:51 |
| weasel8 | killer--tux: pretty sure that requires software on the dvd to automatically launch when it's inserted. you'd have to write the software yourself and even then linux won't let it launch itself (but windows will) | 01:51 |
| Fatou | does VUZE has a chat room? anyone ? | 01:51 |
| weasel8 | fatou: I dunno, why don't you google it or something? | 01:52 |

| MrCollins | Formode, how will I get in trouble if I post the output to the pastebin? | 01:52 |
| RawIsWar | leave Asta Luego | 01:53 |
| Formode | mrcollins, You won't get in trouble if it's on pastebin. If you paste it directly to IRC people won't be hapy though. | 01:53 |
| Formode | !Pastebin | Mrcollins | 01:53 |
| weasel8 | killer--tux: ok, so you have to find out how to write some menu software and have it launch when the dvd is inserted. | 01:53 |
| MrCollins | Formode, I never said I would post it in here. read above what I wrote Formode | 01:53 |
| weasel8 | Formode: MrCollins never said he was going to paste it here | 01:54 |

| MrCollins | Formode, do not feel bad it is ok. | 01:54 |
| killer--tux | o ok thanks | 01:55 |
| weasel8 | killer--tux: yep. sorry i couldn't help more | 01:55 |
| MrCollins | Formode, could it be my video drivers? | 01:55 |
| RawIsWar | leave bye | 01:55 |
| Formode | mrcollins, can you tell me what you see when you enter "glxgears" please? | 01:55 |
| MrCollins | Formode, I see the gears spin | 01:56 |

| weasel8 | evilGUI: shouldn't be | 01:57 |
| gaintsura | rustybin: sudo apt-get install firefox-3 | 01:57 |
| Formode | mrcollins, sudo apt-get install python-pygame :) | 01:57 |
| robm06 | Thanks all | 01:57 |
| rustybin | gaintsura, i'll try that, thanks | 01:58 |
| Fatou | When I boot up with ubuntu to read my windows drive sometime it refuses to mount saying that the disk was not properly shut down. Any reason why ? | 01:58 |
| gaintsura | rustybin: np, if its not firefox-3 its firefox-3.0 | 01:58 |

| raylu | eseven73: what feature of onenote? | 02:02 |
| CaneToad | vaxius/raylu I presume the Australian ubuntu mirror isn't up to date? | 02:02 |
| eseven73 | raylu: like books i guess | 02:02 |

| dietwater | I can download all the themes I want. Wheres the location of all of them? | 02:07 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | eseven73 file system | 02:07 |
| harushimo | this should work for Intrepid Ibex or Hardy Heron | 02:08 |
| zsquareplusc | eseven73: squashfs is a compressed file system. it used on the live cd to squezze more data on it for the live system | 02:08 |
| osxdude | I have a Fujitsu Lifebook A series sitting in front of me...Right now it has no internet in the Ubuntu Live CD. I do not plan on installing Ubuntu cause I just want to move a file. I cannot use USB, Ethernet, or wireless. How can I get these drivers? | 02:08 |
| harushimo | I still get the fd0 error with Hardy Heron | 02:08 |
| dietwater | You...want to move a file? | 02:08 |
| raylu | osxdude: floppy/cd? | 02:08 |
| eseven73 | oh zsquareplusc can i use it to put stuff on my external hdd? Its ext3 though prolly not hah? | 02:08 |
| zsquareplusc | osxdude, no internet? with an ethernet cable? | 02:08 |
| tvaughn | i know right | 02:08 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | harushimo I sometimes do but I see the error twice and after aminute it finishes the install | 02:08 |
| tvaughn | i had wifi issues but never ethernet | 02:09 |
| osxdude | raylu, first of all i'm running off of the ubuntu Live CD. and there is no floppy drive | 02:09 |
| harushimo | I can't get into the cd at all | 02:09 |
| osxdude | zsquareplusc, no. | 02:09 |
| harushimo | even the one that canonical sent me doesn't work | 02:09 |
| gatewaydrug | anybody here running vlc? i need some help | 02:09 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | harushimo do you get the first menu | 02:09 |
| zsquareplusc | eseven73: compressed filesystems are often not good at writing. that's no problem on a cd as that is only written once, but more difficult for a R/W system | 02:09 |
| jrib | gatewaydrug: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 02:09 |
| rww | !ask | gatewaydrug | 02:09 |
| ubottu | gatewaydrug: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:09 |
| harushimo | its get to the menu after that, it doesn't work | 02:09 |
| eseven73 | zsquareplusc: ok ty | 02:10 |
| zsquareplusc | osxdude no cable? or... you have an ethernet cable but it doesnt work? | 02:10 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | harushimo and at that menu what do you see when you remove quiet and splash like I asked | 02:10 |
| dietwater | Where are my gtk+ themes located? | 02:10 |
| harushimo | the options for the cd | 02:10 |
| jrib | dietwater: why? | 02:10 |
| redrebel | how come I can't view my windows shares in my ubuntu 8.10 through nautilus? | 02:10 |
| harushimo | like install ubuntu, check cd for defects... | 02:10 |
| rww | dietwater: the .themes directory in your home directory | 02:10 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | harushimo # To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 02:10 |
| exodus_ms | !samba | redrebel | 02:11 |
| tvaughn | i tried to remove splash and it wouldnt boot | 02:11 |
| ubottu | redrebel: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

| Panarchy | Okay, well currently installing remastersys | 02:11 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | harushimo If you do that .. you should see more about waht is going on.. Have you tried that | 02:11 |
| harushimo | okay I'll try that | 02:11 |
| dietwater | Thanks. | 02:11 |

| Fatou | osxdude, you may need to remove the hard drive | 02:12 |

| Fatou | and install a usb reader on it | 02:12 |

| vaxius | harushimo: oh, nvm then | 02:12 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | gatewaydrug .file means hidden, have you enabled viewing hidden files | 02:12 |
| Fatou | and copy your files from another computer | 02:12 |
| gatewaydrug | bingo... i havent... thanks jack | 02:12 |
| osxdude | Fatou, I can barely access the HDD in Windows, so, eh, I could try to put the file in some random directory...thanks for the idea :P | 02:13 |

| harushimo | I'll try your thing and come back on later | 02:13 |
| zachb | Maybe I'm being too hopeful, but is there a way I can do FIXBOOT for my windows partition from within linux? | 02:13 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | harushimo | 02:13 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | np | 02:13 |
| sweetgum | can someone tell me how i can add to the list displayed when i type env | 02:13 |
| zachb | ...or should I ask in a windows help place? | 02:13 |
| raylu | CITguy-Hermes: what's the difference? | 02:14 |
| zachb | ...or boot windows without a boot sector? | 02:14 |
| tvaughn | fail, i almost fell off my chair :( | 02:14 |
| n8tuser | CITguy-Hermes-> you want it displayed in the remote computer after you ssh'ed in to it? | 02:14 |
| raylu | CITguy-Hermes: or, rather, where do you want the gui to be displayed? | 02:14 |
| CITguy-Hermes | n8tuser: yes | 02:14 |
| jcmoffitt | I installed Ubuntu on my Dell Latitude E6500 but I can not get the wireless portion to work | 02:14 |
| raylu | any particular reason? | 02:14 |
| xiangfu | zachb: you can boot windows without a Windows MBR, | 02:14 |
| rww | CITguy-Hermes: try this: DISPLAY=":0" commandname | 02:15 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | zachb you can try the livecd option to boot the first hd | 02:15 |
| n8tuser | CITguy-Hermes-> umm i dont think thats easily done, and who do you expect on the other end to interact to it? | 02:15 |
| rww | CITguy-Hermes: not sure if it'll work, though | 02:15 |
| raylu | CITguy-Hermes: any particular reason? | 02:15 |
| koshar1 | jcmoffitt care to be more specific | 02:15 |
| usser | n8tuser, its actually easy if the Xserver is running what rww said will work | 02:16 |
| raylu | !work | jcmoffitt | 02:16 |
| ubottu | jcmoffitt: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 02:16 |
| eseven73 | CITguy-Hermes: you could try VNC | 02:16 |
| jcmoffitt | I guess the OS does not recognize the wireless card on the laptop | 02:16 |
| n8tuser | usser-> you sure? whose DISPLAY will own it at remote end? | 02:16 |
| koshar1 | jcmoffitt you wanna rectify it or just summorise | 02:17 |
| === danopia_ is now known as danopia | ||
| jcmoffitt | eth0 works because I am using it to chat, the wireless network connection does not work, because the wifi light is not on. | 02:17 |
| usser | n8tuser, as i said if xserver is running there it gets display :0 so setting DISPLAY before running a command will cause to run on the local xserver display | 02:17 |

| nibsa1242b | I have this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/132106 . Only solution seems to be compiling a custom kernel. Is this the most up to date guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ? | 02:18 |
| usser | n8tuser, ehm well i thought he meant he ssh'ed into the machine so he did login and if there's somebody logged in to the machine(past gdm, kdm) it will work :) | 02:19 |
| gatewaydrug | im trying to edit a .hosts file and it says that i dont have permision to do it... how is that so and how do i get it | 02:20 |
| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: you've never compiled a custom kernel before? | 02:20 |
| eseven73 | !sudo | gatewaydrug | 02:20 |
| ubottu | gatewaydrug: 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) | 02:20 |
| mon^rch | how do I check if someone's been trying to ssh into my machine? | 02:21 |
| n8tuser | mon^rch-> look in the logs | 02:21 |
| vaxius | mon^rch: sshd log | 02:21 |
| jrib | mon^rch: /var/log/auth.log will log it | 02:21 |
| mon^rch | which ones? where? | 02:21 |
| gatewaydrug | i understand that, but im just clicking the save button, im not doing it in terminal, so where do i tell it sudo? | 02:21 |
| gatewaydrug | im using gedit | 02:21 |
| mon^rch | ty jrib | 02:21 |
| vaxius | gatewaydrug: sudo gedit .hosts | 02:22 |
| eseven73 | gksudo gedit | 02:22 |
| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: have you ever compiled a custom kernel before? | 02:22 |
| aluink | what's going on with flash 64-bit? | 02:22 |
| zsquareplusc | !gksu > vaxius | 02:22 |
| ubottu | vaxius, please see my private message | 02:22 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | vaxius Please suggest gksudo gedit.. it is much safer | 02:22 |
| aluink | i can't find anything that's working | 02:22 |
| gatewaydrug | how do i go about that jack | 02:22 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | !flash64 | 02:22 |
| ubottu | You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 02:22 |
| raylu | gedit's configuration files don't really matter that much...sudo is fine :P | 02:23 |
| nibsa1242b | onetinsoldier: not on Ubuntu... the last message says the bug might be fixed, I have to check | 02:23 |
| gatewaydrug | the hosts file isnt gedits, its VLCś | 02:23 |
| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: ok, roger | 02:23 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | gatewaydrug I really need to go.. but gksudo gedit path/file | 02:23 |
| raylu | gatewaydrug: we know. run the command anyway | 02:23 |
| vaxius | Jack_Smirnoff: it's a frontend to sudo and does the same thing | 02:23 |
| raylu | vaxius: not quite | 02:23 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | vaxius NO it is NOT | 02:23 |

| eseven73 | ah | 02:25 |
| raylu | nibsa1242b: (onetinsoldier is a masochist) | 02:25 |
| koshar1 | SuNDeC afaik the live creater amkes a build of the cussent version/ | 02:26 |
| * onetinsoldier pats his nice 2.6.28-rc8-git2 kernel on the head | 02:26 | |
| dietwater | Are there any programs to more easily modify gtk2 themes? | 02:26 |
| dietwater | GUI etc. | 02:26 |
| aluink | jack: it was running fine, and then it just stopped working, i think an update messed something up | 02:26 |
| Jack_Smirnoff | Take care.. need to get dinner started.. | 02:26 |
| aluink | jack: this is FF2.0 | 02:26 |
| nibsa1242b | onetinsoldier: raylu I generally have more pressing things to do with my time. If I wanted to watch things compile, I'd run gentoo | 02:26 |
| delfick | hello, I just attempted to use dd to copy one parititon to another (did that right, and it was working) however, it's a massive drive and it was taking a very long time and dd has no verbosity at all. I ended up getting impatient and cancelling it. However by the looks of it, it was very close to finishing (trying to do anything with the resulting files comes up with errors to do with stale nfs or something). Is there a way to make dd only | 02:26 |
| aluink | i'm running 3.0 | 02:26 |
| raylu | nibsa1242b: that's why, when running gentoo and/or compiling kernels, you let it run and do something else | 02:27 |
| SuNDeC | koshar1, i want to create a vesion of Fedora 10 on my flash drive, not Ubuntu. and the only OS i have is Ubuntu | 02:27 |
| eseven73 | i'd never have the patience for Gentoo | 02:27 |
| lukedoomer | hi guys, I forgot a package/protocol, which allows hardware access thorugh network. could anybody remind me its name? | 02:27 |
| raylu | eseven73: i thought i did, twice. i was wrong, twice | 02:27 |
| eseven73 | lol | 02:28 |
| nibsa1242b | delfick: you'd have to know EXACTLY where it stopped to resume from that point... you might be able to start further back from where you think it stopped and continue | 02:28 |
| raylu | lukedoomer: what kind of hardware? | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | lukedoomer: iptables? | 02:28 |
| raylu | and here i was thinking sftp :P | 02:28 |
| lukedoomer | may be ide / sata device | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | lukedoomer: perhaps i didn;t understand the question | 02:28 |
| raylu | perhaps the question was very poorly worded | 02:29 |
| lukedoomer | not iptables. I know vista has the functionality also | 02:29 |
| delfick | nibsa1242b: hmm, ok then. all I know how to use dd is "dd if=/dev/sda6 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1k", what do I do to start say three quarters into sda6? | 02:29 |
| nibsa1242b | raylu: onetinsoldier Alright onetin, if you are a masochist... maybe you can help me. I'm connecting a printer over a serial port by way of a usb-->serial port adapter. | 02:29 |
| koshar1 | SuNDeC you may be able to do it using a vm | 02:29 |

| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: i know nothing about setting up printing. just an fyi | 02:29 |
| raylu | lukedoomer: sounds like samba | 02:29 |
| nibsa1242b | delfick: read the man page or a guide online; I forget exactly what it is and wouldn't want to steer you wrong | 02:29 |
| lukedoomer | sorry, thats all I can remember after a half year | 02:29 |
| delfick | nibsa1242b: ok then, thnx anyways :p | 02:30 |
| nibsa1242b | onetinsoldier: thats fine.... just sounds masochistic doesn't it? | 02:30 |
| lukedoomer | not samba / nfs. it allows accessing hardware device directly | 02:30 |
| raylu | lukedoomer: the hard drive directly? sftp? | 02:30 |
| delfick | nibsa1242b: hmm, seek and skip options look about right | 02:31 |
| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: yeah. years ago, with Red Hat, like you, i set up printing. i didn't enjoy it | 02:31 |
| lukedoomer | thanks guys, maybe I should look for more tips about it by myself | 02:32 |
| nibsa1242b | onetinsoldier: yeah... well its an old printer... only has parallel & serial ports; no computers in my house have either type of port and I don't think ubuntu auto detects serial port printers. | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | serial port printer? EGADS.... | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | Ubuntu did auto-detect my larallep port Laserjet6l and set it up | 02:33 |
| n8tuser | USB is serial | 02:33 |
| harushimo | it didn't work | 02:33 |
| eseven73 | is symlinking folder A to backup folder B a decent or ok way to back things up? I know it doesn't compress or anything, but i figured its a "set-and-forget' way of backing things up... | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: roger that. yeah parallel port is dead. can't even buy a computer with one anymore it seems like. | 02:33 |
| SuNDeC | koshar1, ok, i will give it a try. installing virtualbox | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | callins usb 'serial' is like calling... a ModelT a 'race car' :) | 02:34 |
| nibsa1242b | onetinsoldier: no, and serial ports have been long gone... but motherboards often have headers for them | 02:34 |
| raylu | eseven73: .......... | 02:34 |
| n8tuser | but it is serial .. usb is serial | 02:34 |
| raylu | eseven73: symlinking doesn't copy the data at all | 02:34 |
| eseven73 | raylu: when i look in folder B it shows all the files | 02:35 |
| vaxius | dr_willis: usb: universal Serial bus | 02:35 |
| raylu | eseven73: right...it's a symlink. the files are still stored in one place | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | vaxius, but ie said a serial port.. not usb.. so now everyone is confuse as to what he really has... | 02:35 |
| onetinsoldier | nibsa1242b: yeah, i think the computer i'm using right which i just built about 6 weeks ago has header for a serial port.. but no port | 02:35 |
| aluink | where's a good place to put details on how to install flash-10 in 64-bit? | 02:35 |
| eseven73 | ah gotcha raylu ok thanks :) | 02:35 |
| raylu | eseven73: that's why you can instantly symlink 1TB of data | 02:35 |
| vaxius | dr_willis: mkay | 02:35 |
| aluink | this was a pain in the ass and i'd like to let others know | 02:35 |
| jrib | aluink: just install teh flashplugin-nonfree package.... | 02:35 |
| jrib | aluink: there are no pain in the ass details | 02:36 |
| raylu | aluink: let adobe know | 02:36 |
| aluink | jrib: doesn't work, the link in hte package gets a 404 | 02:36 |
| nibsa1242b | onetinsoldier: sounds right to me... its only because lots of hardware still uses serial ports on an enterprise level | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | I cant say that ive ever had miuch problems with se4tting up printers under linux.. i mossed the original problem with the usb/serial digression.... | 02:36 |
| jrib | aluink: what version of ubuntu? | 02:36 |
| eseven73 | raylu: ok i was wondering why it like instantly "transfered" my entire /home folder :) | 02:36 |
| eseven73 | I guess ill stick with Unison and Rsync | 02:36 |
| aluink | jrib: i think what happened was when i ran dist-upgrade, it screwed it up | 02:37 |
| raylu | eseven73: scp isn't good enough for you? | 02:37 |
| Panarchy | Okay | 02:37 |
| Panarchy | Back now | 02:37 |
| aluink | the problem is that it gets a 404 on the tar.gz download, but marks the package as successfully installed, so you never know until you try to watch that fav youtube vid of yours ;) | 02:37 |
| evilGUI | doing a upgrade is never a good idea it's faster to backup your home directory and do a fresh install | 02:37 |
| Panarchy | &#$@! | 02:37 |
| jrib | aluink: yeah that happens when adobe moves around the tar.gz. However, I don't think that's the case atm | 02:37 |
| aluink | jrib: how can i know what version of ubuntu i'm working? | 02:37 |
| Panarchy | It's 784.3MB | 02:37 |
| eseven73 | raylu: never tried it, I just usually use Rsync and Unison to back everything up | 02:37 |
| tritium | aluink: lsb_release -a | 02:38 |
| jrib | !version | aluink | 02:38 |

| aluink | 8.04.1 (Hardy) | 02:38 |
| evilGUI | tritium: I know | 02:38 |
| jrib | aluink: what version of the flashplugin-nonfree package? (apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree) | 02:39 |
| aluink | jrib: well, atm, when i do apt-get install nonfree, i get a 404 | 02:39 |
| rascal999 | I've got a big problem, vista crashed so I powered down computer in partial rage. When I go to reboot it says, missing operating system followed by some jargon characters | 02:39 |
| zsquareplusc | Panarchy: apt-get autoremove and apt-get clean. remove logs in /var/log (some files must be there, but they can be empty) | 02:39 |

| aluink | 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 | 02:39 |
| tritium | evilGUI: then don't say it's never a good idea | 02:39 |

| evilGUI | rascal999: restore grub? | 02:39 |
| woden | What is the ftp client for Ubuntu? | 02:39 |
| rascal999 | evilGUI: yes, how do I do this? | 02:39 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: delete everything. lol | 02:40 |
| jrib | !ftp | woden | 02:40 |
| ubottu | woden: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd | 02:40 |

| n8tuser | a good tip to know, if one is resizing a windows partition like ntfs, DO NOT remove or mess around with networking, it can possibly lock up or freeze and will corrupt windows partition | 02:41 |
| evilGUI | rascal999: while you are at it check to see if the partitions are still intact | 02:41 |
| jrib | aluink: copy a "hardy" line in your /etc/apt/sources.list and change "hardy" to "hardy-backports". Then run 'sudo apt-get update' | 02:41 |

| dr_willis | ampwyo, given how hard it is to upgrade the cpu.. if its ONE or the other.. id up the cpu.. ram is easier to upgrade later.. as for ram.. 2 will proberly do ya.. but more is always better | 02:54 |

| Yoyoto | Hey Uhmm I cannot partition my harddrive using the linux CD | 02:54 |
| Ash-Fox | avidemux, haven't heard of that one. By the way, I recommend stayin away from Cinelerra - it's one of those "WTF" interfaces. | 02:55 |
| Yoyoto | my hard drive seems to be ntfs | 02:55 |
| hellhound | onetinsoldier: do any of these work with evolution? I am looking for something will will display an icon in the tray and change icon when there are messages and if I click the icon it brings up evolution.... i don't know why this is not a built in feature of Evolution like it is with kmail | 02:55 |
| onetinsoldier | hellhound: geximon is another... and you might check out gdesklets, although i don't know if gdesklets has one or not | 02:55 |
| ampwyo | so none of the mythical performance decrease with more ram then | 02:55 |

| Yoyoto | Vaxius nope it just shows the entire drive as Full | 02:56 |
| Yoyoto | Vaxius: 50gb ARE free | 02:56 |

| echinos | Ok, I have a sound issue - everything trying to use sound hung, so I ctrl-alt-bksp to restart X, opened rhythmbox, and it turned grey and hung | 02:56 |
| Panarchy | ampwyo: you speaking of the CPU>RAM thing? | 02:56 |
| bazhang | Panarchy, what is the point of that exercise | 02:56 |
| echinos | How do I tell what is going on? | 02:56 |
| Panarchy | bazhang: To free up space | 02:56 |
| Panarchy | How do I sort packages by size? | 02:56 |
| vaxius | Yoyoto: you need to resize the partition if it's filling the drive before you can create a new one | 02:57 |
| ampwyo | i think so | 02:57 |
| echinos | Panarchy: are they downloaded files, or do you mean with apt-cache search or something? | 02:57 |
| tritium | Panarchy: please stop repeating! | 02:57 |
| FluxD | tritium, I trust you but I know for sure 1 box is like 3 months older than the other and its files are older. Example 2008-05-14 10:46 <--- newer box 2008-07-22 12:26 <--- older box | 02:57 |

| vaxius | Yoyoto: you don't defrag entire drive, you defrag partitions | 03:08 |
| echinos | ritowqi: a single package, you mean? | 03:08 |
| ritowqi | i mean use apt-get | 03:08 |
| pieps | benzap: have you tried setting your hostname in /etc/hosts ? | 03:08 |
| vaxius | Yoyoto: anyway, what's the problem? | 03:08 |
| echinos | ritowqi: just apt-get <packagename> | 03:08 |
| fluffywarthog | echinos: any better shortcut? using a laptop keyboard, and there's no + key | 03:08 |
| echinos | ritowqi: If there is a newer version, it will be installed | 03:09 |
| echinos | ritowqi: but run apt-get update first | 03:09 |
| raylu | echinos: *install | 03:09 |
| echinos | fluffywarthog: you can do the minus key and it will go to the largest size after it goes past the smallest one | 03:09 |
| onetinsoldier | ritowqi: apt-get install <package> ..if newer version is available.. it will install it | 03:10 |

| Xavier | yeap | 03:26 |
| ty | ok | 03:26 |
| pieps | ewe2003: that would be the hostname that it's asking for | 03:26 |
| Xavier | why you ask? | 03:26 |
| onetinsoldier | ewe2003: try dig -x IP address ...lloks like the hostname is --> c-76-27-100-234.hsd1.ut.comcast.net | 03:26 |

| ty | what is that? | 03:26 |
| ewe2003 | and my domain name is just my wireless name?... total nube | 03:27 |
| Xavier | it's a term used for dual monitor setups with an nvidia card | 03:27 |
| vaxius | Xavier: so don't use it | 03:27 |

| Anacranom | ty, couldnt pay me enough to... | 03:27 |
| ty | do what? | 03:27 |
| tritium | !xrandr | Xavier | 03:27 |
| ubottu | Xavier: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 03:27 |
| Xavier | ty: that'll all work fine =) | 03:27 |
| ty | ok | 03:27 |
| ty | does the cube look crisp? | 03:28 |
| Anacranom | ty, get a hp with ati? nope i couldnt do it | 03:28 |
| tritium | Zzeiss: are you certain it's supported on linux? | 03:28 |
| pieps | eegh HP? | 03:28 |
| ty | is setting up compiz easy on ati's? | 03:28 |
| Xavier | ty: haven't tested the cube yet, more interested in gaming atm - Prey works great, but i'm trying to get it in only one screen | 03:28 |
| pieps | my experiences with HP laptops have been less than stellar (and good luck getting a decent warranty) | 03:28 |
| Zzeiss | tritium: there are two web pages claiming it does, and giving howtos. Neither works, and several other pages say that it used to work, but no longer. | 03:29 |
| Xavier | ty: compiz works right out of the box with 8.10 | 03:29 |
| ty | but is compiz setting up easy on an ati? | 03:29 |
| ty | oh | 03:29 |
| ewe2003 | error channel_register error getaddrinfo name or service not known.... | 03:29 |
| ty | what about 8.04, ill never go 8.10 again | 03:29 |
| onetinsoldier | ewe2003: if you don't have the 'nslookup' and 'dig' commands, you'll need to install the dnsutils package | 03:29 |
| tritium | Zzeiss: linuxtv.org would be where I'd check to be certain | 03:29 |
| Zzeiss | ty: If your mobo has intel graphics, it _will_ run compiz just fine. | 03:29 |
| Zzeiss | tritium: OK, lemme check there. Thanks! | 03:30 |
| pieps | ewe2003 - you might not need the domain... | 03:30 |
| ty | ok | 03:30 |
| ewe2003 | dnsutils package. okay. i'm running from a bootup disk. would that make any difference? | 03:30 |
| ty | i need to know if ati and compiz work out of the box in ubuntu 8.04 though | 03:31 |
| CaneToad | on ubuntu 8.10, what do you do when the CUPS web on http://localhost:631/ asks you for a username/password? | 03:31 |
| vaxius | ty: yes | 03:31 |
| ty | do you need xserver-xgl for compiz to work, i did on my older laptop to get compiz working | 03:31 |
| ty | but my old laptop had a bad graphics chip, lol | 03:31 |

| axisys | i can connect to other servers at work.. but w/ same laptop i am trying to connect to my ubuntu server | 03:33 |
| ty | and restart graphics server? | 03:33 |
| onetinsoldier | ewe2003: so you're running from a livecd? does it have dnsutils installed? if not, i doubt that you can install any packages on a livecd | 03:33 |
| axisys | how do I debug? | 03:33 |
| cuonglb | ty : lolz :D | 03:33 |
| ty | you can install packages on live cd | 03:33 |

| ubottu | dowN70: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 04:00 |
| FAJ | dowN70: use the command gnome-power-cmd.sh shutdown and set it to run at x hour during the day | 04:00 |
| aeosynth | faj: I'm looking at the preferences right now and don't see it. There is an option 'maximized windows don't cover the bar', but that doesn't help with gnome-panel because I guess it's not a window. | 04:00 |

| onetinsoldier | raylu: haha... me neither! | 04:00 |

| Gruelius | onetinsoldier: Gives "STANDBY" for the disks even when im writing and reading to/off them | 04:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Gruelius: oh..i see. well, i use hdparm to put my other drive in standby and check it's status. and yes, it's a sata drive | 04:05 |
| Gruelius | only for the sata disks. I cant get sdparm to work properly does anyone know common problems with it | 04:05 |

| raylu | telaviv: it wasn't a question | 04:06 |
| djet13 | cidesign: yes | 04:06 |
| telaviv | eseven73: lol! no app would take that much. I'm asking in theory. When you program in asm the addresses will only ever be 32 bits. In this sense to have access to more than 4 gigs of information seems impossible, because their simply aren't that many addresses | 04:06 |
| FAJ | aeosynth: you could try making the number of pixels that the gnome-panel is smaller... | 04:06 |
| Anacranom | hosstell, without software to replicate it for you, my best guess would be to copy/paste the images to a OO and resize as needed, then once you have them verify in gimp... | 04:06 |

| nachohi88 | linuxman410, after a clean install u don't have it on ur menu? | 04:17 |
| sweetgum | does anyone here use sourcenavigator? | 04:17 |
| linuxman410 | the lean install has advantages it only takes my computer 1 min 2 seconds to boot to desktop | 04:17 |
| onetinsoldier | beilabs: well, flash for linux 64-bit userspace is very new yet. adobe just released that thing like a month ago.. so probably no package maintainer yet. | 04:18 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, what's ur problrm so? | 04:18 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: I'm back and my Ubuntu is still broken | 04:19 |
| Brack101 | still around? | 04:19 |
| linuxman410 | my problem is i am trying to figure out how to put update manager in menu so i do not have to do it through terminal | 04:19 |
| willyyxx | Does anyone know anything about RaQ4 cobalt servers? | 04:19 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: dang... well, i can try. if raylu is here perhaps he can get you fixed up | 04:20 |
| Daps | can anyone tell me where i can get info on beryl? | 04:20 |
| genii | !beryl | 04:21 |
| ubottu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 04:21 |
| usser | Daps, beryl is outdated you compiz | 04:21 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, see if u have it installed first.. should be at System>Administration>Update manager | 04:21 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: sweet, when we left off you had me delete /home/myuser/.sbin I believe | 04:21 |
| Daps | usser: what is the new thing? | 04:21 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: it was the .dbus dir | 04:21 |
| Brack101 | right | 04:21 |
| Brack101 | it didn't work | 04:21 |
| Brack101 | :) | 04:21 |
| onetinsoldier | dang | 04:21 |
| linuxman410 | it is not there i want it to be there but can not figure out how | 04:21 |
| mareen | I inherited a server running lighttpd on dapper... I updated/upgraded via apt-get... but lighttpd is still 1.4.11, whilre the newest one available from the source is 1.4.20. is it safe to run such an old version? | 04:22 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: anything about it in less /var/log/messages ??? | 04:22 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, ok just right click to Applications an choose Edit menu | 04:22 |
| djet13 | genii: okay for some reason the last torrent dl wasn't complete even though it showed up as being complete.... thanks for the help! | 04:22 |

| mareen | since lighttpd is universe, is it possible there could be security issues? | 04:22 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ccms | 04:23 |
| eseven73 | !ccms | 04:23 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: where are you? need your help... | 04:23 |
| eseven73 | oh good grief | 04:23 |
| eseven73 | !ccsm | 04:24 |
| ubottu | 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 | 04:24 |
| Brack101 | oh also my ntfs volume isn't working | 04:24 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, on the left part choose Administration and see if its on the list | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | there we go :) | 04:24 |
| Brack101 | to add to the symptoms | 04:24 |
| linuxman410 | ok now what | 04:24 |
| Daps | !ccms ?? eseven73 what is that? | 04:24 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:24 |
| linuxman410 | it is not on list | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | Daps it will allow you to set up compiz | 04:24 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: roger. well one thing at a time. we need to get that dbus error thing fixed first | 04:24 |
| Brack101 | okey dok | 04:25 |
| eseven73 | Daps im not a compiz user so I probably couldn't help you much, but you could try joining #Compiz-fusion | 04:25 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, so choose new element and put as type Application | 04:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: post the error in pastebin | 04:25 |
| spanther | vaxius: are you still there? | 04:25 |
| Daps | thanks so much eseven73 | 04:25 |
| eseven73 | np | 04:25 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: you mean in kern.log? | 04:26 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, NAme: Update manager and command: /usr/bin/update-manager | 04:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: wherever you can copy and paste that dbus error from, put it on a pastebin | 04:26 |
| Brack101 | oh | 04:26 |
| Brack101 | ok | 04:26 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, commentary box its not necessary | 04:26 |
| russ5811 | Hi all. I just installed moblock and set it to startup by default (sessions). But when I reboot, i get the following error: "Required configuration file "/var/log/moblock.log" could not be found in the default path. | 04:27 |
| russ5811 | Please specify a different path" Moblock and it's GUI will work, but it is not running. Any suggestions? | 04:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: i will be afk for a few minutes... | 04:27 |
| raylu | russ5811: sudo touch /var/log/moblock.log | 04:27 |
| russ5811 | thanks raylu | 04:28 |
| raylu | russ5811: that will create the file if it doesn't exist, which may fixt the problem | 04:28 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: when I run pidgin as sudo and double click a name on my buddy list...note IRC works fine http://pastebin.com/m148a3e7 | 04:28 |
| linuxman410 | i di that and when u try to open it gets an error | 04:28 |
| Gruelius | does this line sound fine for hdparm.conf | 04:28 |

| FloodBot2 | Gruelius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: i will be afk for a few minutes... brb | 04:28 |
| raylu | Brack101: why are you running pidgin as root...? | 04:28 |
| telaviv | if anyone is still interested in how 32-bit systems can have more than 4 gigs of address space, is because pentiums actually are 36-bits! look up PAE | 04:28 |
| pengo | is there a good repo that has more recent stuff than the stock standard intrepid repo? | 04:29 |
| Brack101 | raylu: it does it on my user too, but I'm running as sudo because I can't get the error when I just run pidgin for some reason | 04:29 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, What kind of installation did u do? What version? | 04:29 |
| raylu | Brack101: what happens when you run "dbus-launch"? | 04:29 |
| Brack101 | raylu: this is just a symptom of a catastrophic failure I had after trying to install ggl-gtk....X doesn't start automatically, sound doesn't work, NTFS volumes won't mount, programs keep crashing | 04:30 |
| revive | how can i irc over telnet? | 04:30 |
| linuxman410 | 8.10 it was a lean install as discribed in a article on front page of distro watch | 04:30 |
| raylu | revive: by telnet, do you mean ssh? | 04:30 |
| eseven73 | revive: use ssh instead and use irssi for the irc client | 04:30 |
| axisys | is there a way to increase the verbosity of dmesg? i am wishing to see some log whn plug in a nullmodem to it | 04:30 |
| revive | yes | 04:30 |
| eseven73 | telnet is evil | 04:31 |
| Brack101 | raylu: http://pastebin.com/m6d3c5aa0 | 04:31 |
| spanther | well okay goodnight everyone | 04:31 |
| revive | telnet is mean? | 04:31 |
| eseven73 | it is not secure | 04:31 |
| eseven73 | !ssh | 04:31 |
| 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/ | 04:32 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, put in console "whereis update-manager" | 04:32 |
| revive | ssh is secure? | 04:32 |
| eseven73 | yes | 04:32 |
| nachohi88 | linuxman410, it will show where its actually the update manager | 04:32 |
| raylu | Brack101: how did you install ggl-gtk? | 04:32 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: it's called google-gadgets.. i also installed it after he went to bed last night.. np here, but... | 04:33 |
| Brack101 | raylu: I installed the deb package from getdeb and the Ubuntu idiot GUI | 04:33 |
| raylu | Brack101: er, where did you download it? | 04:33 |
| Brack101 | then uninstalled with a command that onetinsoldier gave me | 04:33 |
| tyler_d | what is the command to run visual(interactive) apps as sudo? | 04:34 |
| aeosynth | ignore +ChanServ | 04:34 |
| Brack101 | having trouble finding it | 04:34 |
| droopsta915 | My E-book says ubuntu has device manager? Do I need to install this, beccause I can't find it. | 04:34 |
| vaxius | tyler_d: gksudo | 04:34 |
| raylu | tyler_d: gksu | 04:34 |
| Brack101 | can't remember what I searched for | 04:34 |
| tyler_d | TY | 04:34 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: it may depend on what gadet he might have installed with the program. when you install the gadgets, it warns you with some of them about possible security risks and the permissions that they need. many have been tested and give no such warning, many have apparently not been | 04:35 |
| Brack101 | raylu: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Google+Gadgets | 04:35 |
| vaxius | tyler_d: ignore me, when raylu said | 04:35 |
| vaxius | tyler_d: *what | 04:35 |
| raylu | vaxius: gksudo is a symlink to gksu; both are ok :D | 04:35 |
| vaxius | raylu: mkay | 04:35 |
| raylu | Brack101: you downloaded the intrepid 32-bit? | 04:36 |
| Brack101 | raylu: correct | 04:36 |
| tiyowan | Hi folks, | 04:36 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: Good point, I guess I underestimated the risk | 04:36 |
| sherl0ck | anyone paste been me the file /etc/init.d/hdparm?? its missing in newer version ubuntu | 04:36 |
| eseven73 | pastebin* :P | 04:37 |
| russ5811 | raylu, thanks for the help earlier. new problem now with moblock: it is listed as "MoBlock is not running" when i click the start button in the GUI, I get the following messages: Error 7: missing file /etc/moblock/guarding.p2p. Check the blocklist setting. BLOCKLIST is set in /etc/moblock/moblock.conf I'm new at this so can anyone tell what this means? | 04:37 |
| sherl0ck | ha* | 04:37 |
| sherl0ck | russ5811 use iplists | 04:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: roger.. i understand. i have taken plenty of risks in my day. but i always understand the implications. at any moment i am prepared to reinstall if needed. but it does suck to have to | 04:37 |
| sherl0ck | http://sourceforge.net/projects/iplist | 04:37 |
| russ5811 | how sherlock, what do you mean? | 04:38 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: I have the windows mentality, "it's just a little widget program" | 04:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: lol | 04:38 |
| russ5811 | ok. thanks | 04:38 |
| Brack101 | not realizing how incredibly complex and integrated into the OS it must be | 04:38 |
| sherl0ck | iplist does the same as moblock, just better IMHO | 04:38 |
| russ5811 | give it a shot. thanks again | 04:39 |
| Brack101 | it was awesome when it worked | 04:39 |
| sherl0ck | they have debs at sourceforge too | 04:39 |
| Brack101 | even used wobbly windows | 04:39 |
| raylu | russ5811: it means what it says. in /etc/moblock/moblock.conf you have BLOCKLIST set to /etc/moblock/guarding.p2p, which doesn't exist | 04:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: yeah.. it's working here and fairly cool | 04:39 |
| vaxius | Brack101: wobbly windows got annoying for me after the novelty wore off | 04:40 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: although i haven't tried the wobbly windows | 04:40 |
| linuxman410 | Failed to execute child process "/etc/update-manager" (Permission denied) this is error now i tried what you said | 04:40 |
| raylu | Brack101: nothing in the deb looks particularly harmful, though the getdeb website doesn't look too...legit. | 04:40 |
| russ5811 | raylu, any idea how i can change that? | 04:40 |
| raylu | russ5811: just open it up in a text editor | 04:40 |
| Brack101 | vaxius: I'm still at the novelty stage...plus when I disable it my windows lag while dragging | 04:40 |
| Brack101 | raylu: ok point taken | 04:40 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: the .deb, just allows you to install all kinds of other stuff(gadgets) | 04:41 |
| Brack101 | raylu: in retrospect, the blog post wasn't too entirely legit either | 04:41 |
| Brack101 | so anyway | 04:41 |
| Brack101 | I need to fix this... | 04:42 |
| Brack101 | how can I get X to start up at least | 04:42 |
| raylu | Brack101: i was thinking that too. how did you start X? | 04:42 |
| Brack101 | raylu: startx after logging in | 04:42 |
| pengo | is there a good repo that has more recent apps than the stock standard intrepid repo? | 04:42 |
| pengo | e.g. vuze, blender... | 04:43 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: i had him check /etc/rc3.d.. the symlink for gdm is in there | 04:43 |
| pr0cess0r | hi all ! | 04:43 |

| genii | pr0cess0r: Put a slash in front of your first /proc | 04:44 |
| onetinsoldier | but then, i don't know what dbus does exactly, or at all really | 04:45 |
| pr0cess0r | but its a script that use this command | 04:45 |
| genii | pr0cess0r: Also you might want a ; or a && after i386 | 04:45 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: good, neither do i :D http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html#whatis | 04:45 |
| onetinsoldier | ok,looks like dbus allows other processes to communicate with each other | 04:45 |
| genii | pr0cess0r: Wait, no, forgot chroot syntax a sec, that is correct. But the proc needs a / | 04:45 |

| corey | NoelJB, closer but not quite exactly wanting to mount it on login, just on request of the resource | 04:50 |

| Brack101 | that one seems significant | 04:56 |
| Brack101 | and also quite similar to my pidgin error | 04:56 |
| tiyowan | raylu: 8-) | 04:56 |
| raylu | Brack101: also explains why sound is borked... | 04:56 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: i have some of these myself... onobo-activation-server (travis-6184): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-jexj8ilfqy: Connection refused | 04:56 |
| Anacranom | genii, run as what access ? its a permissions error, ? i dont pretend to have the answer, but know you gotta look at the error, please i am a n00b and trying to learn all i can, ty for any future help ;-) | 04:56 |
| droopsta915 | thanks | 04:56 |
| Arrowhead212002 | i think my pidgin got influenza | 04:56 |
| XenutH | ANYONE KNOW PULSE AUDIO FOR PCI CARDS | 04:57 |
| Brack101 | hmmmm | 04:57 |
| raylu | Brack101: i wonder what happens if you run dbus-cleanup-sockets | 04:57 |
| Anacranom | Arrowhead212002, the "bird-flu" lol nice | 04:57 |
| raylu | !caps | XenutH | 04:57 |
| ubottu | XenutH: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 04:57 |
| Arrowhead212002 | lol | 04:58 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Sounds like a bug. Hang on. | 04:58 |
| XenutH | ok well i have conflicts with HDA intel and pci sound | 04:58 |
| Arrowhead212002 | ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS? | 04:58 |
| Brack101 | raylu: the most useless notification evar: Cleaned up 0 sockets in /tmp; 0 sockets are still in use; 0 in unknown state | 04:58 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: yes... probably a know bug | 04:58 |
| onetinsoldier | known* | 04:58 |
| genii | Anacranom: What is it you are saying? I do not recall any issue you had. Or perhaps you are also pr0cess0r ? | 04:58 |
| daas88 | buenas | 04:58 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Maybe this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/286285/comments/55 ? | 04:59 |
| raylu | Brack101: when you said you ran startx, was that as root? | 04:59 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: ok, looking now, thanks | 04:59 |
| Brack101 | no | 04:59 |
| Brack101 | raylu: I ran it as my username | 04:59 |
| Anacranom | genii, no, was following his issue, trying to learn, thats all | 04:59 |
| daas88 | good evening | 04:59 |
| radlipat | ok if im running xubuntu what is a program i can play mp3s in? | 05:00 |
| raylu | Brack101: oh...logout of gnome; x should close. sudo gdm | 05:00 |
| Brack101 | ok | 05:00 |
| eseven73 | Amarok | 05:00 |
| XenutH | The issue is with the Pulse Audio and it keeps looking to my on-board sound card even though i've disabled it in the BIOS, when i use the on-board sound it seems to Chirp away | 05:00 |
| eseven73 | !players | 05:00 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 05:00 |
| Brack101 | should I use gdm instead of startx? | 05:00 |
| Brack101 | don't answer that brb | 05:00 |
| raylu | XenutH: try poking indexes in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 05:01 |
| genii | Anacranom: From livecd everything gets run as root user anyhow. But he seems to want to make a particular directory the top directory from inside which to build an application or so | 05:01 |
| Anacranom | genii, visit me at #seaphor, ask ikonia about me, i just am here trying to learn | 05:01 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-579167.html has more info, too, if this is indeed the problem. | 05:01 |
| Arrowhead212002 | but on a serious note... FOr some reason... i've installed compiz no problem on this machine several times.... though this time around when i did install it the advanced desktop settings was in my menu. then i restarted my computer and it hasnt been there since | 05:01 |
| Anacranom | ohhh,,,, i missed the live cd part, sorry genii | 05:02 |
| genii | Anacranom: Since he seems to have left anyhow, much is moot now :) | 05:02 |
| tiyowan | Arrowhead212002: Um, but compiz is in fact installed right? | 05:02 |
| Brack101 | raylu: ok I'm in sudo and everything works fine | 05:03 |
| Anacranom | well, still feel free to visit... ty genii | 05:03 |
| Vantrax | tiyowan, compiz is installed by default in 8.04 | 05:03 |
| Brack101 | also sudo gdm didn't work so I had to sudo startx | 05:03 |
| raylu | Brack101: what did sudo gdm do? | 05:03 |
| Brack101 | raylu: it said command not found | 05:03 |
| tiyowan | Vantrax: I'm aware of that. Check out Arrowhead212002's problem. | 05:04 |
| Arrowhead212002 | yeah it is installed along with all its libraries and little extras | 05:04 |
| raylu | Brack101: "which gdm" | 05:04 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: i read it. i don't know really. bonobo has some small bug probably. or perhaps it was just that i was trying to do something where i needed 'sudo' | 05:04 |
| duanedesign | how can i find a voiced user | 05:04 |
| raylu | Brack101: (run it as a command) | 05:04 |
| Arrowhead212002 | ive tried completely removing and installing it and that still yelided no results | 05:04 |
| Brack101 | raylu: I'm glad you specified that lol | 05:05 |
| Brack101 | raylu: it did nothing | 05:05 |
| tiyowan | Hmm. Should you really "sudo" startx? | 05:05 |
| raylu | Brack101: ls /usr/sbin/gdm | 05:05 |
| raylu | tiyowan: xinitrc should make it start a login prompt, right? | 05:05 |
| Brack101 | ls: cannot access /usr/sbin/gdm: No such file or directory | 05:05 |
| Brack101 | I guess that's a problem | 05:05 |
| Brack101 | :) | 05:05 |
| droopsta915 | whats the command to turn my chm file to pdf using chm2pdf? | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | yeah | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: yep... problem found | 05:06 |
| Brack101 | ok great....sooooooo | 05:06 |
| genii | droopsta915: I would assume to be in the dir which contains your .chm file and then: chm2pdf winhelfilename.chm | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: so, apt-get install --reinstall gdm | 05:06 |
| NoelJB | droopsta915: man chm2pdf | 05:06 |
| tiyowan | raylu: yEP. | 05:07 |
| Brack101 | reinstall never fixes my problems | 05:07 |
| Brack101 | but I'm trying | 05:07 |
| genii | droopsta915: Also reading the man page for the command as NoelJB suggests can't hurt | 05:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: just do it | 05:07 |
| tiyowan | raylu: But does startx not work? | 05:07 |
| Brack101 | okey dok | 05:07 |
| Arrowhead212002 | lol it really didnt fix mine | 05:07 |
| NoelJB | genii: nor can http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=chm2pdf&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=chm2p | 05:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: then ls /usr/bin/gdm | 05:07 |
| Brack101 | ok brb | 05:07 |
| mankash | I assign through command line assign an ip address to the interface | 05:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: ok... | 05:07 |
| mankash | how can I chnage the configuration to dhcp | 05:07 |
| Brack101 | ls: cannot access /usr/bin/gdm: No such file or directory | 05:08 |
| raylu | tiyowan: it did, but there were things (audio) he needed to be root for | 05:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: after a reinstall? | 05:08 |
| Brack101 | yes | 05:08 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: /usr/SBIN/gdm | 05:08 |
| NoelJB | no caps, just emphasizing. | 05:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: oh.. woops | 05:08 |
| tiyowan | Uh-oh. Looks like GDM's toast. | 05:08 |
| Brack101 | it said this invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed. at the end of -reinstall | 05:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: ls /usr/sbin/gdm | 05:08 |
| raylu | Brack101: dpkg -l gdm | 05:08 |
| NoelJB | oh, that's not good. | 05:08 |
| Brack101 | ls: cannot access /usr/SBIN/gdm: No such file or directory | 05:09 |
| tiyowan | Brack101: dpkg -l gdm | 05:09 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: all lowercase please. | 05:09 |
| raylu | Brack101: it's case-sensitive :P take off the caps | 05:09 |
| mankash | how can I change the configuration of network interface back to to dhcp | 05:10 |
| Brack101 | http://pastebin.com/m46658bd6 | 05:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: if your in X the action "reload" failed is probably ok | 05:10 |
| tiyowan | Hmm..gdm's not toast. | 05:10 |
| raylu | mankash: /etc/network, though try the network manager applet first | 05:10 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: I found a comment that running dpkg-reconfigure gdm fixed it for someone. | 05:10 |
| Brack101 | ok | 05:10 |
| Brack101 | maybe I should try restarting first | 05:11 |
| mankash | ok | 05:11 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: +1 | 05:11 |
| Brack101 | after all it did say I need to when I reinstalled | 05:11 |
| Brack101 | plus sudo startx fixed all my probs so | 05:11 |
| Brack101 | brb | 05:11 |
| Arrowhead212002 | hey i just fixed my problem!!! yay | 05:12 |
| raylu | i think i'm more acquainted now with gnome than i want to be :( | 05:12 |
| Arrowhead212002 | incase anyone was wondering and i feel like a dumas but here is the line that saved me sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:12 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: et al... thanks for helping this guy. i couldn't figure out his problem last night(well, i solved on of his problems). | 05:13 |
| onetinsoldier | one* | 05:13 |
| tiyowan | Arrowhead212002: Bravo. | 05:13 |
| === duanedesign is now known as duanedesign_ | ||
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: next time someone comes in with my symptoms, you can tell them sudo dpkg -reinstall gdk or whatever it was you just told me | 05:14 |
| Brack101 | everything works! | 05:14 |
| Cainus | hey...anyone know why when I boot to commandline, my keyboard seems to be remapped for a few key characters (like / and |) ? can someone recommend a term to google for or something so I have a place to start? | 05:14 |
| Brack101 | rayu, onetinsoldier: thank you so much you guys fixed me up! | 05:15 |
| Anacranom | nice job onetinsoldier ;-) | 05:15 |
| onetinsoldier | w00t! you're welcome.. and thanks to all that helped! | 05:15 |
| tiyowan | Reinstall gdm fixed it? Great! | 05:15 |
| Brack101 | yeppers | 05:15 |
| [TiZ] | Hi. I'm experiencing a strange problem with my internet. Well, I can't access it. I can connect to my wi-fi network, but I can't access the internet. This is strange, because I can do so from a custom LiveCD I have, and my brother's computer is working just fine too. Does anyone know what might cause this? | 05:16 |
| === duanedesign_ is now known as duanedesign | ||
| Brack101 | ok some of the problems | 05:17 |
| Brack101 | firefox bookmarks no longer work | 05:17 |
| Brack101 | lolol | 05:17 |
| tiyowan | [TiZ]: Type ifconfig and pastebin your wireless interface? | 05:17 |
| Brack101 | I have such a love hate relationship with Linux | 05:17 |
| Brack101 | this is about the 10th time I've installed linux | 05:18 |
| eseven73 | only 10? lol that's nothing | 05:18 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan: That would be impossible. Sure, I can do it from the LiveCD. But the liveCD is working. The installed OS is not. It can't access the internet, so I can't pastebin it. :( | 05:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: look in /root for your firefox bookmarks might be in there.. just a guess. look with ls -a and you'll see hidden dirs | 05:18 |
| icarus | does ubuntu have common issues with intel integrated graphics? | 05:19 |
| Brack101 | onetinsoldier: no, they're broken...as in if I add a bookmark it doesn't show up | 05:19 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan: Actually, what I can do... and it will probably take a while... is to reboot to the installed OS, ifconfig, output to a file, boot to the live CD, and then pastebin it. | 05:19 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: you are logged in as yourself? | 05:19 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack101: ok, roger that. | 05:19 |
| Brack101 | icarus: I had problems installing on a Dell OptiPlex GX260 with integrated 8 mb intel...the computer doesn't get hardware accel | 05:19 |
| Brack101 | not my computer, my sister in law | 05:19 |
| tiyowan | [TiZ]: Okay...well in that case. You need to *boot* into Ubuntu and just check ifconfig to see whether your interface is getting an ip assigned. | 05:20 |
| icarus | im trying to get my friends graphics up and running with hardy, but hardware drivers isn't detecting anything for his comp | 05:20 |
| Brack101 | icarus: same here, never got it fixed :( | 05:20 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: in case something got corrupted, you could close firefox, move ~/.mozilla out of the way (blowing away any current config) and run it again. | 05:20 |
| Brack101 | icarus: try messing around with bios settings? | 05:20 |
| raylu | icarus: what does "isn't detecting anything" mean? | 05:21 |
| icarus | well his integrated graphics are fairly larger than 8 mb | 05:21 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan: What if I already know that it is? This CD... or DVD, rather... takes a while to boot. I'd like to gather up a bunch of things to try, and do them all at once. | 05:21 |
| icarus | raylu: basically hes using mesa | 05:21 |
| icarus | the funny thing is, is that glxgears is working for him | 05:21 |
| icarus | so opengl is rendering | 05:21 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: ls -A is more useful than ls -a. also, fedora has alias l.="ls -Ad .*" | 05:21 |
| icarus | but stuff like zsnes doesn't want to run | 05:21 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: ok, thanks for the tip :) | 05:21 |
| tiyowan | [TiZ]: No worries. && Could someone take a look here? | 05:22 |
| [TiZ] | Oh, also! I forgot to mention. I can ping my router, but I can't ping a site like, say, ubuntu.com. I can even go to the router config page in Firefox. | 05:22 |
| raylu | [TiZ]: "host google.com" | 05:22 |
| mindrape | [TiZ] what is your local IP address? 192.168.0.x? Likely your cable modem doesn't have a WAN ip... try going to 192.168.100.1 | 05:23 |
| tiyowan | [TiZ]: You can go to your router page right? | 05:23 |
| Brack101 | noeljb, fixed my problem thanks | 05:23 |
| mindrape | [TiZ] your router is 192.168.1.1 probably... your cable modem is 192.168.100.1. Make sure it is not having issues. | 05:23 |
| tiyowan | Guys...TiZ is using the LiveCD to access the net from the same box and router. | 05:24 |
| DarkFuzion | i need help in getting ati proprietary drivers | 05:24 |
| tiyowan | DarkFuzion: System -> Admin. -> Hardware Drivers | 05:24 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: what did? | 05:24 |
| DarkFuzion | it show nothing in it lol | 05:24 |
| [TiZ] | Thanks for clearing that up, tiyowan. I guess I wasn't clear on that. | 05:24 |
| raylu | icarus: could you have him run "lsmod | grep vesa"? | 05:24 |
| === phantomcircuit_ is now known as phantomcircuit | ||
| [TiZ] | And yes, I can get to my router page. | 05:24 |
| Brack101 | NoelJB: deleting ~/.mozilla | 05:24 |
| raylu | Brack101: no | 05:25 |
| raylu | Brack101: just move it elsewhere | 05:25 |
| Brack101 | raylu: I moved it to the trash in case | 05:25 |
| Brack101 | worked perfectly | 05:25 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion: for what version of ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| tiyowan | [Tiz]: I think either your card's not getting an ip address, or maybe your gateway address is wrong. | 05:26 |
| NoelJB | Brack101: ok | 05:26 |
| icarus | raylu: what will that do? | 05:26 |
| raylu | icarus: also, what card does he have anyway? | 05:26 |
| DarkFuzion | 8.10 | 05:26 |
| raylu | icarus: show whether the vesa modules is loaded | 05:26 |
| DarkFuzion | Ati radeon mobility | 05:26 |
| icarus | its mesa he has loaded though, not vesa | 05:26 |
| raylu | !ati | DarkFuzion | 05:26 |
| ubottu | DarkFuzion: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:26 |
| icarus | raylu: its some weird integrated intel graphics | 05:26 |
| DarkFuzion | thanks | 05:26 |
| Brack101 | ok thanks for everyone's help | 05:26 |
| raylu | icarus: lsmod for mesa, vesa, intel then :D | 05:27 |
| icarus | i did a search, but only found a few hits from really old fiesty forum posts | 05:27 |
| tiyowan | Does anyone know the CLI cmd. to get the default gateway for an interface? | 05:27 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion: the ati flgrx proprietary drivers don't work with kernel 2.6.27.. need to wait | 05:27 |
| Brack101 | I will now continue to use Linux instead of windows because of your help | 05:27 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan: That could be. What would I do to fix those? | 05:27 |
| DarkFuzion | need to wait until it does???? | 05:27 |
| raylu | tiyowan: i believe it's ifconfig's Bcast | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion: perhaps i shuold be more specific the ati "8.11" flgrx proprietary drivers don't work with kernel 2.6.27.. need to wait | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion: yes.. need to wait until ati makes a newer version (8.12) that does | 05:28 |
| DarkFuzion | i thought they have a 8.12 | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion: perhaps.. it'd be news to me tho! | 05:29 |
| tiyowan | I'm on an ATI X1400. Drivers work, but they don't work with Compiz. Video flickering problems. | 05:29 |

| n2diy | joeb3_, yes! thanks | 05:30 |

| \\`oot | mine isn't "detected" I guess? | 05:30 |
| mikebot | How can I convert flac files to .alac (apple lossless)? | 05:31 |
| \Kira | mindrape: thats for changing owners and groups, right? | 05:31 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion: ok, [TiZ] also says that 8.12's are out.. i'm going to see if i can get them. | 05:31 |
| joeb3_ | DarkFuzion, xchat? | 05:31 |
| DarkFuzion | ok ill go look too man | 05:31 |
| mindrape | \Kira chown root:root then chmod 744 | 05:31 |

| DarkFuzion | im on ubuntu 8.10 pig what ever | 05:31 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan: Okay. I'll pastebin ifconfig and netstat -rn. Should I do it from here on the live CD too? To have something to compare to? | 05:31 |
| n2diy | raylu, it works, thanks. | 05:31 |
| DarkFuzion | im gona go get Xchat | 05:31 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: yes.. and with a fairly new video card.. so i need latest drivers. the 8.11's did work for me with kernel 2.6.26, which was nice | 05:32 |
| [TiZ] | Fortunately, I'm on Radeon Xpress 1150. I can use the open drivers. :) | 05:32 |
| tiyowan | [TiZ]: Good idea. | 05:32 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: what card do you have? | 05:32 |
| \Kira | mindrape: 744? I understand the last two digits, but I dont understand the first one. Is it recommended to always have it at 7? The man page didnt explain what it does very well | 05:32 |
| jmvancleve | i can't get skype to register my voice when i speak... | 05:32 |
| [TiZ] | Alright. I'll be back as soon as possible. | 05:32 |
| DarkFuzion | where do you get xchat? | 05:32 |
| qcjn | hi. I've seen that i can use, or install kdesktop easyly. And i like to see how i like it. But would it affect compiz-fusion if i change to kde desktop ? | 05:32 |
| raylu | \Kira: if you don't want to do it numerically, you can use u/g/o + - = rwx | 05:33 |
| raylu | er, that was confusing | 05:33 |
| raylu | \Kira: if you don't want to do it numerically, you can use u/g/o +/-/= r/w/x | 05:33 |

| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: X1400 Mobility. 2.6.27 kernel. I get video flickering. How would I find out the version of the ATI drivers? Maybe getting new ones'll help me, too. | 05:33 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: mine's an HIS IceQ4 4850 HD 512 MB | 05:33 |
| mikebot | My mistake--I'm trying to convert .flac to .m4a (apple lossless). Any GUI program in ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: check in /usr/share/ati... | 05:34 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: But if I switch to metacity, it's all good. Ok, thx. | 05:34 |
| \Kira | raylu: thanks raylu, but mindrap explain the numeric system to me :) I just didnt get the first digit | 05:34 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: there should be an ati control panel you can start up | 05:34 |
| raylu | \Kira: the benefit of doing it the other way is you don't have to specify all the permissions | 05:35 |
| radlipat | ok i installed frostwire and it actslike its gonna open but never does the animation cursor even bounces for it anyone else figure this problem out???? | 05:35 |
| \Kira | raylu: yeah | 05:35 |
| raylu | \Kira: so, for example, if you only want to give read permissions to all, you can chmod +r ... | 05:35 |
| raylu | \Kira: oh, ok | 05:35 |
| \Kira | raylu: thanks, though :) | 05:35 |
| NoelJB | radlipat: how did you install frostwire? | 05:35 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Catalyst Control Center says my drivers are 8.54.3 | 05:35 |
| radlipat | i went to frostwire.com | 05:35 |
| radlipat | and downloaded it and installed it with adept | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: ok. roger... sounds like a little bit older version, hang on | 05:36 |
| DarkFuzion | hey | 05:36 |
| radlipat | there is a linux version on site | 05:36 |
| NoelJB | so I see. and it tries to automatically install. | 05:36 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Hey, thank you so much for checking this out. This is the *only* issue I have left remaining with my intrepid which I haven't been able to fix. | 05:37 |
| radlipat | no i think i had to search for it | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: i think those are 8.10's | 05:37 |
| \Kira | If I use the recursive option in chmod or chown, it wont follow symbolic links, right? I wouldnt want it to change any important files, and im not sure exactly whats in that directory | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: what window manager do you get flicker in? | 05:37 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: I get flickering in Compiz. | 05:38 |
| NoelJB | radlipat: I haven't looked at it, but am wondering ... is it architecture independent? Or does it matter that it tries to download an x66 package for an x86_64 OS? | 05:38 |
| DarkFuzion1 | did you fing the 8.12 yet lol | 05:38 |
| === balrog is now known as Guest28233 | ||

| icarus | utilityes: ctrl-alt-backspace oepns help menu | 06:00 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan: Oh. Well what's an MAC address? :P | 06:01 |
| NoelJB | radlipat: use cfdisk | 06:01 |
| * Gnea watches a certain needle hit a red area | 06:01 | |
| radlipat | no no like !repete | 06:01 |
| tiyowan | [TiZ]: It's like an unique ID number for your wireless card. :-) | 06:01 |
| raylu | icarus: ... | 06:01 |
| radlipat | but for partition | 06:01 |
| dudus | utilityes: I had this problem once.... try ubuntu/ubuntu or root/ubuntu | 06:01 |
| radlipat | ing | 06:01 |
| utilityes | icarus: nop ctrl alt backspace restart the x window and this live cd continues ask me for user and password | 06:01 |
| icarus | raylu: im only kidding | 06:01 |

| Gnea | radlipat: is english your first language? | 06:01 |
| [TiZ] | tiyowan, okay. Thanks for your help anyways. | 06:01 |
| icarus | utilityes: just sudo su - | 06:01 |
| radlipat | yes | 06:01 |
| icarus | there is no pass for live cd | 06:02 |
| [TiZ] | Oh, and by the way, #ubuntu. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace kills your X server. Don't use it ever. ;) | 06:02 |
| DarkFuzion1 | anyone know how to install the ati 8.12 driver that is a run? | 06:02 |
| Gnea | radlipat: then please, stop typing like someone who doesn't know how to speak it correctly and ask your question properly. | 06:02 |
| icarus | [TiZ]: sometimes is usefl | 06:02 |
| icarus | if stuff freezes | 06:02 |
| [TiZ] | Okay, not "ever". But don't use it to make ubuntu faster or to get a help menu | 06:02 |
| Cainus | anyone know how to install the console-data or kbd packages? I get 404's everywhere | 06:02 |
| [TiZ] | I promise neither of those will happen | 06:02 |
| robertMB | raylu, http://pastebin.com/d33765057 | 06:02 |
| Xavier | tiz: i think he was trying to be funny but failed miserably ;/ | 06:03 |
| Gnea | Cainus: do a sudo apt-get update and try again | 06:03 |
| Cainus | Gnea: yeah... no dice | 06:03 |
| mewshi | so, if I keep my /home/mewshi directory, but install 64-bit ubuntu, will all my settings be here still? :) | 06:03 |
| [TiZ] | Xavier, obviously. I'm doing much the same now. :P | 06:03 |
| typ30 | Ctrl+Alt+Backspace | 06:03 |
| utilityes | icarus: how make that (sudo su-) !!!! if this live cd is asking for user!!!!!!!!!!!! | 06:03 |
| Gnea | Cainus: are you sure you have the correct package names? | 06:03 |
| aeolien | Hi! I'm trying to play World of Padman, but custom levels give me a "Failed to open <file> for writing." error. Any ideas? | 06:03 |
| Cainus | Gnea: yep... I find them in apt-cache search | 06:03 |
| typ30 | Alt+F1 work fine | 06:04 |
| Gnea | utilityes: you really don't need to use so many !'s, we can understand you just fine without them. | 06:04 |
| icarus | utilityes: you're using the typical ubuntu hardy livecd? | 06:04 |
| utilityes | dudus: ubuntu / ubuntu doesnt work and root / ubuntu too doesnt work | 06:04 |
| [TiZ] | Well, I'm gonna go reinstall ndiswrapper, and then reinstall my wireless driver in it. | 06:04 |
| [TiZ] | Hopefully it will work | 06:04 |
| albech | no virtualbox kernel modules for 2.6.24-22? | 06:04 |

| raylu | robertMB: does dbus-launch give an address and PID | 06:05 |
| raylu | robertMB: and does dbus-cleanup-sockets do anything? | 06:05 |
| Xavier | i wonder what he meant by i'm doing much the same now O.o heh | 06:05 |

| icarus | utilityes: maybe reboot | 06:06 |
| icarus | utilityes: sudo su - just takes you to a root account | 06:06 |
| icarus | utilityes: understand there is no pass for the livecd | 06:06 |
| robertMB | raylu, debus-clean..... cleans up 0 sockets | 06:06 |
| utilityes | icarus: ok no pass i will try again | 06:06 |
| Gnea | Cainus: oh my... I would highly recommend upgrading to gutsy and then hardy, if you can | 06:06 |
| raylu | robertMB: hrm. could you show me /var/log/user.log ? | 06:06 |
| Gnea | Cainus: feisty does not have supported packages like that anymore | 06:07 |
| Xavier | has anyone installed Prey using the new installer for linux that was released? works great | 06:07 |
| robertMB | raylu, http://pastebin.com/d48a06984 | 06:07 |
| eweb100 | I keep FREEZING!! PLEASE SOMONE HELP! | 06:08 |
| Cainus | Gnea: shouldn't apt-get upgrade-dist do that? | 06:08 |
| dudus | utilityes: try ubuntu with no password | 06:08 |
| Xavier | eweb100: are you getting an error message? | 06:08 |
| tiyowan | Xavier: Are you trying the ATI 8.12 drivers btw? | 06:08 |
| raylu | robertMB: i don't suppose there's anything interesting in /var/log/user.log.0 either? | 06:08 |
| eweb100 | xavier: no just a random freeze... | 06:08 |
| Cainus | err dist-upgrade | 06:08 |
| Gnea | eweb100: i suggest a space heater. | 06:08 |
| eweb100 | xavie: no its fine.. everything freezes but my mouse | 06:09 |
| eweb100 | xavie: i can still use my mouse | 06:09 |
| Gnea | Cainus: are you catching any 404's with that? | 06:09 |
| Gnea | eweb100: er, sorry. | 06:09 |
| Xavier | eweb100: your install may be corrupt or your hardware may be failing - the first thing i would do is try taking out sticks of ram | 06:09 |
| robertMB | raylu, not really Dec 12 18:09:43 ubuntu810 libvirtd: Shutting down on signal 15 | 06:09 |
| eweb100 | gnea: lol its k | 06:09 |
| Gnea | eweb100: you might want to try watching syslog to see if there are any errors when it freezes | 06:10 |
| eweb100 | xavie: take them out? | 06:10 |
| \Kira | how can I log terminal output to a file? | 06:10 |
| eweb100 | gnea: how do i monter systemlog | 06:10 |
| Xavier | tiyowan: i don't recall what the version number was, i just know it's the newest one ;) | 06:10 |
| Cainus | Gnea: no... but dist-upgrade doesn't really do anything either... it says 0 packages were installed | 06:10 |
| robertMB | raylu, lol all i did was remove the applet for a sec to move some other stuff around on the pannel... didn't think it would be this hard to look at wifi networks | 06:10 |
| Gnea | eweb100: open a terminal and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog | 06:10 |
| Gnea | Cainus: then the system is fully up to date. if you want newer packages, you need to upgrade the entire distribution. | 06:11 |
| Gnea | !upgrade | Cainus | 06:11 |
| ubottu | Cainus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:11 |
| eweb100 | xavie: ok you said something about....ram? | 06:11 |
| Xavier | eweb100: if you still have control of your mouse, forget ram | 06:11 |
| eweb100 | xavie: i have never had it crash on the vista side | 06:11 |
| eweb100 | xavie: ok | 06:11 |
| Gnea | Xavier: if the ram is it, he could always let it run memtest+ | 06:11 |
| raylu | robertMB: wait a sec... what happens if you right-click the panel and click add? | 06:11 |
| ndf | how come i can't edit options for screensavers in gnome, but kubuntu has the function for that? | 06:11 |
| NoelJB | robertMB: next time, you only need to unlock things, not remove them. | 06:11 |
| eweb100 | xavie: i just kinda...you know sit there and realize that my thing has forzen | 06:12 |
| Xavier | gnea: it's faster to just take ram sticks out haha if you know how | 06:12 |
| eweb100 | xavie: this has bin happining for the past 3 installs.. Meaning i have REinstaled ubuntu 3 times to try to fix the problem | 06:12 |
| * raylu forgets that networkmanager is a panel applet, not an app with a notification icon | 06:12 | |
| Xavier | gnea: just one at a time until you determine which one is failing, but in his case since he still has control of the mouse, it sounds more like an Ubuntu issue | 06:12 |
| robertMB | raylu, first thing i tried nowhere to be found | 06:12 |
| Cainus | Gnea: thanks... I'm working on it ;) | 06:13 |
| Gnea | Xavier: generally, that behavior is discouraged in here. most people don't have the knowledge to pass A+, and since ubuntu comes with memtest86+ already, might as well use what's already there instead of taking a chance of messing someone's system up further. | 06:13 |
| eweb100 | xavie: any ideaz? | 06:13 |
| ndf | how do i change screensaver settings? the screensaver config program doesnt have a settings button for configuring individual screensavers. | 06:13 |
| veltsu | has anyone in the history of mankind had a problem with Intrepid Ibex, acer 5100 and sound card? I cannot get sound to work. Please advice. | 06:13 |
| eweb100 | gnea: taking out ram is alot easyer than sucssuflly runing memtest | 06:13 |
| robertMB | NoelJB, lol yea I was going to try a new set up, but removing an applet from the tray should not cripple a systems network :\ | 06:13 |
| eweb100 | gnea: i remeber i was a noobz once. | 06:13 |
| Gnea | eweb100: if you feel inclined to do so, then go for it. :) | 06:14 |
| eweb100 | gnea: no its a ubuntu side problem, ime guesing | 06:14 |
| NoelJB | robertMB: actually, what did you do? network icon is on the notification area, and doesn't have a remove on the context menu. | 06:14 |
| Gnea | eweb100: that's why i suggest not diving straight into the hardware. :) | 06:14 |
| eweb100 | gnea: true true.. | 06:15 |
| robertMB | NoelJB, Just right click and removed, im using xubuntu | 06:15 |
| raylu | robertMB: sudo invoke-rc.d dbus restart | 06:15 |
| NoelJB | robertMB: Ah. Nevermind then. | 06:15 |
| icarus | you gotta love gimp | 06:15 |

| raylu | robertMB: then nm-applet | 06:15 |
| Gnea | eweb100, Xavier: there was this kid in my A+ class once who was so proud of the fact that he could take apart and put back together a computer faster than anyone else in the classroom. Of course, it didn't always work and there were always spare screws and other little nick-nacks leftover when it was back together. | 06:15 |
| raylu | robertMB: if it still doesn't run, | 06:16 |
| DarkFuzion1 | cool coolcool ready for standyby | 06:16 |
| ndf | how do i change settings for screensaver? the screensaver config dialog doesn't have a settings button for individual screensaver settings | 06:16 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion1: what's up? you're ready for the install now? | 06:16 |
| raylu | robertMB: hrm =\ nevermind | 06:16 |
| DarkFuzion1 | yup ready to learn | 06:16 |
| eweb100 | gnea: rly? or is that just someting you found of a fourm? | 06:16 |
| DarkFuzion1 | want me to pm you ? | 06:16 |
| Xavier | eweb100: eh taking them apart and building them is a breeze, it's understanding the bios and being able to tweak voltages that impresses me ;) | 06:16 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion1: oh. you need instructions on how to install? | 06:17 |
| DarkFuzion1 | yeah | 06:17 |
| Gnea | eweb100: Really. | 06:17 |
| DarkFuzion1 | i am def new to the run | 06:17 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion1: ok, np. you've downloaded the file? | 06:17 |
| DarkFuzion1 | yeah done it | 06:17 |
| ndf | how do i change settings for screensaver? the screensaver config dialog doesn't have a settings button for individual screensaver settings. anybody? cmon... | 06:17 |
| Gnea | eweb100: needless to say, he wound up dropping out of the program. :) | 06:17 |
| Xavier | eweb100: your issue doesn't sound like there would be an easy fix, given that you have already tried reinstalling ubuntu 3 times | 06:17 |
| eweb100 | gnea: phailz? | 06:17 |
| raylu | robertMB: if that doesn't work, i'm out of juice :P i need to get to studying | 06:17 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion1: do sudo -i | 06:17 |
| Gnea | eweb100: epic failz. | 06:17 |
| mosahin | where is the themes folder? I have problems with DarkRoom theme and I want to reinstall. | 06:17 |
| raylu | robertMB: you could try reinstalling gnome-network-manager | 06:17 |
| eweb100 | gnea: ftl. | 06:17 |
| Gnea | :) | 06:18 |
| eweb100 | xavie: ya that is the problem.. | 06:18 |
| dudus | ndf: did you try xscreansaver? | 06:18 |
| dudus | ndf: xscreensaver | 06:18 |
| Xavier | eweb100: it could have something to do with the mobo driver that ubuntu is defaulting to when you install | 06:18 |
| eweb100 | Gnea, xavie: The funy thing is, is that when i went over to xfce it never crashed | 06:18 |
| onetinsoldier | DarkFuzion1: then cd to the dir where you have the .run tell me when you're there | 06:18 |
| DarkFuzion1 | i pm you onetinsoldier | 06:18 |
| ndf | dudus: that's what i'm talking about | 06:18 |
| onetinsoldier | ok | 06:18 |
| Gnea | eweb100: that's quite interesting... | 06:19 |
| dudus | ndf: you sure? the one that comes with ubuntu is gnome-screensaver, try to install xscreensaver from synaptic | 06:19 |
| eweb100 | gnea, xavie: and all i was doing was chaging the session | 06:19 |
| Formode | Hello, trying to help a friend get her internet working, she's on an iMac with a wireless router, can anyone help | 06:19 |
| Formode | ? | 06:19 |
| ndf | dudus: ok if i do that will it appear in system>preferences seperately? | 06:20 |
| Xavier | eweb100: apparently your pc doesn't have "made for ubuntu" written on it like ours does =) | 06:20 |
| eweb100 | xavie: damn ant dat true. | 06:20 |
| dudus | ndf: I think so, but I'm not sure... anyway you could launch it from terminal by typing xscreensaver | 06:20 |
| Cainus | Gnea: I'm getting 404's from do-release-upgrade ... | 06:20 |
| eweb100 | xavie: maby its just being mad at me because ime 13... or something of that sort? | 06:20 |
| Gnea | Cainus: o.O | 06:20 |
| ndf | yeah but that will launch the set screensaver won't it? | 06:20 |
| ndf | i want the config program | 06:20 |
| Xavier | it's passed your bed time! | 06:21 |
| Xavier | >.< | 06:21 |
| Cainus | i guess feisty is so ancient they don't keep the packages for it anymore? | 06:21 |
| ndf | Xavier: it's 6:21am here :P | 06:21 |
| Gnea | Cainus: looks like you've fallen behind.... got a cd burner? | 06:21 |
| Xavier | haha! | 06:21 |
| dudus | ndf: I think xscreensaver has an advanced tab where you can adjust some settings for some screensavers | 06:21 |
| eweb100 | xavie: ya...ya...ya...1 am isn't to bad for a schoolnight | 06:21 |
| Cainus | yeah I'm getting the latest via .torrent ATM | 06:21 |
| dudus | ndf: I'm not sure, I never tried because it's useless IMHO, but you could try it... it won't hurt | 06:21 |
| ndf | dudus: i know, but won't 'xscreensaver' in terminal just launch a set screensaver and not the config program? | 06:21 |
| Gnea | Cainus: yeah, it was a fiesty fawn, but bambi got hungry... | 06:21 |
| Cainus | heheh | 06:22 |
| Gnea | ;) | 06:22 |
| Xavier | eweb100: i hear the latest version of opensuse is tasty these days, maybe you could give it a go? | 06:22 |
| eweb100 | xavie: Ehh.. does it have gnome? | 06:22 |
| \Kira | Do you put the & before or after a command to have it run in the background? | 06:22 |
| eweb100 | xavie: because ive only seen it with kde | 06:22 |
| dudus | ndf: why don't you just try it and tell me l8er | 06:22 |
| Gnea | eweb100: you could also try elivecd, if you're down with enlightenment | 06:22 |
| mosahin | before | 06:22 |
| Xavier | eweb100K it can yeh | 06:22 |
| Gnea | \Kira: after | 06:22 |
| mosahin | ^ | 06:23 |
| mosahin | sry | 06:23 |
| \Kira | Gnea: thanks | 06:23 |
| eweb100 | gnea: lolz enlightment | 06:23 |
| Xavier | eweb100: if i recall from a long while back, i think you get to choose during the install which GUI you'll be using | 06:23 |
| Illarane | Why does evolution get run every time I plug in my power cable? | 06:23 |
| Gnea | eweb100: it runs on the OLDEST of systems - only needs a min of 64mb ram and 100mhz proc | 06:24 |
| Illarane | It's really getting annoying now, and uninstalling it just changes it to a popup saying the command couldn't be found. | 06:24 |
| Gnea | eweb100: i put it on an older celern with 256mb... runs great | 06:24 |
| eweb100 | gnea: well.. i am sling two nvidia 9800 with 6 gigs of ram so ime good. | 06:24 |

| ubottu | tleeonly: 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. :-) | 06:26 |
| eweb100 | vantrax: lol | 06:27 |
| \Kira | if there a way I can constantly append terminal output to a file? script doesnt seem to do it constantly, Im running a command in a screen ssh terminal, and I want it to keep recording after I close the ssh session | 06:27 |

| Gnea | mikebot: http://code.google.com/p/winff/ | 06:30 |

| eweb100 | formode: no whitch one | 06:31 |

| Gnea | eweb100: basically, all of the radio telescopes that are pointed out into space store all of the data on some supercomputers... then they get guinea pigs, like me (heh), to run the boinc client that downloads some of that data and scans it, uploads it, and downloads a new set.. over and over and over | 06:35 |

| tnoy | earthmeLon, I was able to wiggle the connector in the jack and the sound in the 'dead' channel would come in and out | 07:23 |
| tiyowan | earthmeLon: Step 1. Check the connections. Step 2. Check the headphone in another PC. | 07:23 |
| earthmeLon | No tnoy it was just static discharge. I was kinda hoping that my computer just thought that my headphones were still plugged in and I could convince it otherwise, but I dont know how to do that or if that's even the problem | 07:23 |

| tnoy | brusteve, last couple things I can think of.. first, try using /dev/sdb1 (or check which partitions are on the usb drive: fdisk -l /dev/sdb).. Next, try adding another command line option: -boot c | 07:54 |
| omshanti | i want to use xmms. how do i set it up? | 07:54 |
| brusteve | tnoy: i tried the first one already, i'll try the second one now | 07:55 |
| tnoy | brusteve, the '-boot c' option will force booting from the harddrvie (which you define using -hda /dev/sdx#). | 07:55 |
| nbeebo | omshanti, it isnt supported at all kinda.. i think theres audalicious | 07:55 |
| nbeebo | !audalicious | 07:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about audalicious | 07:55 |

| cplab2-58 | jim_p, hischild; not all packages.....i have installed very few necessary packages....i want to get all the necessary packages probably around 100 altogether | 08:06 |
| tnoy | brusteve, Oh, I wasn't aware you even got a boot splash. Your theory on the sda/hda could be right. If you can edit the files on the drive you might be able to change the /etc/fstab options | 08:06 |
| brusteve | tnoy: oh wait, it's still mounted on the desktop, that might be it!!! | 08:06 |
| hischild | !clone | cplab2-58 | 08:07 |
| ubottu | cplab2-58: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 08:07 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58, ok, these are in apt's cache i presume. do you have them on cdrom now? | 08:07 |
| vegombrei | i need some help configuring a2dp i think ... i got a set of bluetooth headphones but i just cant get it to connect to my computer ... it shows up in bluetooth devices and stuff but there's no option to send sound to headphones | 08:07 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58, give me a sec, phonecall | 08:07 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; no someone told me to use aptoncd to get the packages on cd | 08:07 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p, hischild; no someone told me to use aptoncd to get the packages on cd | 08:08 |
| angah | EADG: can u give ur opinion? | 08:08 |
| hischild | !info aptoncd | 08:08 |
| ubottu | aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.98-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 207 kB, installed size 1528 kB | 08:08 |
| hwsmsm | windows | 08:08 |
| hischild | cplab2-58, and what seems to be the problem with it? | 08:08 |
| cplab2-58 | hischild; so if i use aptoncd....whatever packages i have installed on system will get on cd?? | 08:09 |
| tnoy | brusteve, if it STILL doesnt work, I'd just play around with a few of the cmd line options. Like, '-snapshot' might bypass any issues if you cant write to the drive | 08:09 |
| EADG | angah: I've used wget from the command line in the past to download Digg & Reddit for offline reading. I'd suggest a gui version. | 08:09 |
| tinytitan | I really need a DxDiag.xml and I'm not about to touch windows lol. | 08:09 |
| hischild | cplab2-58, from what i'm reading here, yeh ... so you won't have to redownload it all again. | 08:09 |
| brusteve | tnoy: nope, i unmounted the drive, still doesn't work... same error | 08:10 |
| tnoy | sucks | 08:10 |
| cplab2-58 | hischild; so when i put it on other system....how will i install it using this cd | 08:10 |
| hischild | cplab2-58, don't have experience with it, but i'm fairly sure it'll show itself. Sec, i'll check | 08:10 |
| EADG | angah: gwget if your using Gnome, kget-kde4 if you run KDE. | 08:10 |
| angah | EADG: has it gui? | 08:11 |
| hischild | cplab2-58, http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/screenshots/restore-dialog-big.png | 08:11 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; did u get what i said?? | 08:11 |
| hischild | cplab2-58, he's afk, phonecall. | 08:11 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58, yes, just got back | 08:11 |
| EADG | angah: not wget. wget is cli only, but gwget & kwget-kde4 are gui... so says apt-cache :) | 08:12 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; ohh...okk | 08:12 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; did u get what i said?? | 08:12 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58, yea | 08:12 |
| Djon | Вы все бараны Пошли все нахуй!!! | 08:12 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; i got idea how to create aptoncd... | 08:12 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58, apt-oncd will get YOUR packages on the cd? or the ones from online? | 08:13 |
| DarkFuzion | russian | 08:13 |
| Djon | Вот и я говорю хорошая идея | 08:13 |
| Djon | Ес еп | 08:13 |

| ubottu | Djon: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 08:13 |
| hischild | jim_p, only those which he has already installed. | 08:13 |
| DarkFuzion | privet | 08:13 |
| angah | EADG: does it has setting for login such as from rapidshare account? | 08:14 |
| Djon | Хай | 08:14 |
| jim_p | hischild, will apt-oncd isolate those? then no problem from me | 08:14 |
| brusteve | tnoy: My best guess is that it's booting from the first partition (/boot) but then it can't find the second, which contains all the good stuff | 08:14 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; using aptoncd we can get packages from online.....now from this i want to install packages...how do i do that | 08:14 |
| Djon | Ты откуда? | 08:14 |
| EADG | angah: No idea, never used Rapidshare with wget :/ | 08:14 |
| hischild | jim_p, how do you mean isolate those? It's pretty much what the !clone factoid does, but without the need to download. And ofcourse, it needs more space. | 08:15 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58, add that line to every sources.list on your pcs deb file:///media/cdrom/repo ubuntu something | 08:15 |
| fdoving | hi. is there a shortcut to maximize windows vertically? | 08:15 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; is that the correct code.... | 08:15 |
| jim_p | hischild, for instance. if he is on gnome + some installed packages, i suppose he does not want the entire kde that the repo has :P | 08:15 |
| Shik | Hi | 08:15 |
| angah | EADG: i want to download from rapidshare | 08:16 |
| hischild | jim_p, ofcourse. It'll only copy the packages he's already got installed, so he can replicate his current installation. | 08:16 |
| cplab2-58 | jim_p; or will this work...in repositories....i check cd drive | 08:16 |
| jim_p | cplab2-58,the "/repo ubuntu something" part changes | 08:16 |

| jim_p | vietnow, why dont you just mount it through fstab like normal? | 08:48 |
| vietnow | heres the odd thing.... It just randomly showed up in my /media/ | 08:49 |
| jim_p | vietnow, then use fstab and FORCE it to mount in /mnt | 08:49 |
| Yossarian | okay this is really pissing me off. there are some WMA's that i can't play or convert | 08:49 |
| vietnow | I have no clue why, or if It will mount when I restart my pc | 08:49 |
| jim_p | Yossarian, it seems they are DRMed | 08:49 |
| rww | kurrata: oh, okay. In a normal File Browser window, you could use Ctrl++, Ctrl+-, and Ctrl+0 to do it (or Ctrl and the scroll wheel). For the desktop, I'm not sure, but I'll take a look and see if i can find anything. | 08:50 |
| vietnow | I was just wondering if you could tell me exactally what to put in my fstab, with my directory names and such | 08:50 |
| Yossarian | jim_p: that was my guess. but what can i do? | 08:50 |
| jim_p | vietnow, fstab is the permanent solution for mounting. it survives reboots and the like because thats what its supposed to do > provide a CONSTANT place for mounting everytime | 08:51 |
| kurrata | <rww> k, thx coudnt find enything usefull in google | 08:51 |
| jim_p | Yossarian, does soundKonverter convert them? | 08:51 |

| Yossarian | i can't really get them again | 08:53 |
| Yossarian | and i deleted MS completely | 08:54 |
| rww | kurrata: you can do it for individual icons by right-clicking the icon and choosing "Stretch Icon...", then dragging the little boxes that appear. You can set the default for all icons in both File Browser and the Desktop by opening File Browser and changing Edit > Preferences > Icon View Defaults: Default zoom level. | 08:54 |

| jim_p | Kohvihoor, ati's fglrx is incompatible with xorg 1.5 that 8.10 has | 09:12 |

| Kohvihoor | yea i know. | 09:12 |
| Kohvihoor | good thing i have nvidia card at work. :D | 09:13 |
| jim_p | Kohvihoor, did you install fglrx? | 09:13 |
| hischild | iminhell, i don't understand how a makefile can be the source of dvd playback trouble. Can you explain it? And do this for me and give me the output .. uname -a | 09:13 |
| Kohvihoor | i didn't do anything, because installation bootup froze before i could even see anything past usplash | 09:13 |

| blip- | hi all, I have a FAT32 partition for sharing stuff between the dualboot windoze and linux. But i'm losing data when I shutdown from linux as it isn't unmounting. The reason for that is when I mount it via Dolphin file manager KDE prompts me for a password, likewise when I unmount it prompts... so when I shutdown the password prompt comes up to unmount but i have no time to type it before X turns off. I checked fstab and found that the partition | 09:14 |
| blip- | isn't defined in there... must it be ? Is that the cause of the permissions request ? thanks | 09:14 |

| hischild | iminhell, and do you have the libdvdcss package from medibuntu installed? | 09:18 |

| hischild | iminhell, well i would always suggest to be on the latest kernel, which would be the -9 kernel in this case. You've tried the fix they gave? adding it to .bashrc | 09:19 |
| gusto5 | hello, im interested in changing the 'on battery' dim from 40% to 60%, how can i accomplish this? | 09:19 |

| Kohvihoor | tho i run dual monitors, so it's a bit different. | 09:20 |
| owen1 | how to record myself using the terminal? | 09:20 |
| iminhell | hischild: It wouldn't add to the .bashrc. At least when I looked at the files I saw nothing relating to dvdcss | 09:20 |
| jim_p | Kohvihoor, somewhere in there is the Option"DesktopSetup" "single" change that and add the other monitor under mine | 09:21 |
| JollyRoger | omfg... can anyone tell me what the java plugin install command is for firefox..... ie tried this about a hundred times.. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 09:21 |
| hischild | iminhell, that's because .bashrc isn't related to libdvdcss, dvdcss or anything for that matter. However, what you'll be adding there will affect all applications. Are you willing to try it? | 09:21 |
| Kohvihoor | in 8.04 i used aticonfig | 09:21 |

| mr_boo | bullgard4: but the ntfs choice is graymarked unlike fat16, fat32, ext2 etc. | 10:48 |
| zzxxzz | The trash icon is not working properly with a new ubuntu 8.10 install. It always appears empty, and states "No items in Trash" when pointed to,although there is content in the trash directory. Right clicking the icon DOES allow me to delete the files in the trash, and left clicking the icon opens the directory displaying the deleted files. | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: you could try attaching it to a windows box to see if the reader is ok and check the disk for errors | 10:48 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, i don't have a windows box with me here lol | 10:48 |
| mr_boo | giganto: does your system work as you wish btw? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: but the system is TRYING to pick it up as /dev/sdb which would yield a partition /dev/sdb1 but it appears corrupt. | 10:49 |
| mr_boo | giganto: (too lazy to read log) | 10:49 |
| Ludoza | On Ubuntu 8.10 server how do I install/enable the package kernel-patch-mppe. linux-pptp needs it to connect to a microsoft vpn The error I get is "/usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in pppd." | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: does your lappy not have a card reader built in? | 10:49 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, yeah it does | 10:49 |
| giganto | mr_boo, umm what do u mean as I wish? lol | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip2 | zzxxzz: is there a setting to point the trash icon to another folder? maybe its changed from default | 10:50 |
| mr_boo | giganto: well, does it boot for example? | 10:50 |
| giganto | mr_boo, umm yes? otherwise i won't be here using irc lol | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: if sdb shoed in fdisk output you could fsck it to maybe repair | 10:50 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, hmm ... i dun wanna risk losing any data lol | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: id try the reader in another system and even a different os | 10:51 |
| mr_boo | giganto: just looked funky that sda1 was swap and marked as boot partition | 10:51 |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest15296 | ||
| mr_boo | giganto: system was stated to sda5 but nevermind | 10:52 |
| giganto | mr_boo, ah i remember now, I set the swap partition before I set the boot partition | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: try this | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: sudo modprobe -r sdhci; sudo modprobe -r mmc_block | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip2 | the | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: sudo modprobe sdhci; sudo modprobe mmc_block | 10:53 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, i inserted the card into the internal card reader and nothing seems to work | 10:53 |
| giganto | lol | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: wait 10 seconds then try sudo fdisk -l again | 10:53 |
| giganto | [ 2994.924094] tifm_core: SmartMedia/xD card detected in socket 0:0 | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: ahhh if the internal card reader wont work its probably the card | 10:53 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, hmm ... | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: if you put it in the camera you may be able to connect it via usb | 10:54 |
| mr_boo | bullgard4: do you have any idea if gparted is supposed to be able to handle ntfs partitions? | 10:54 |
| zzxxzz | ActionParsnip2: Left clicking the icon opens ~/.local/share/Trash/files which is where the deleted files are, and right clicking the icon allow me to remove them. Only the icon always indicates the Trash is empty and when pointed at displays "No items in Trash". | 10:54 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, oh yeah ... | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip2 | zzxxzz: have you been playing with icons? | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: i'd try the remove modules, reload modules | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: could also reboot with the card in, see if it likes that | 10:55 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, hmm i dun have the usb cable for the camera... didn't bring it with me since i thought the card reader would work. Do u still want me to run the code sudo modprobe -r sdhci.... again? | 10:56 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, i haven't ran those code yet | 10:56 |
| xukun | is there a way to create 100 video card load? | 10:57 |
| zzxxzz | ActionParsnip2: Haven't done anything but install the OS on a new notebook, move some files from an old system, and browse the internet. | 10:57 |
| arnuld | when I use "slocate filename" I get this: slocate: fatal error: Could not find user database '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db': Permission denied | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip2 | giganto: id go for the reboot personally, with the card in the built in reader | 10:57 |
| giganto | ActionParsnip2, okay i'll try that. Brb | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip2 | arnuld: you need to update the database maybe | 10:57 |
| arnuld | ActionParsnip2: but after updating the DB, it still the same :( | 10:58 |
| xukun | anybody please? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | arnuld: try sudo in front of the command, just to test | 10:59 |
| arnuld | ActionParsnip2: root is for *updating* the DB | 10:59 |
| zzxxzz | xukun: Perhaps opening and playing several video files simultaneously? | 11:00 |
| mr_boo | to be honest, i've forgotten where my windows xp boot cd is | 11:00 |

| k21 | thx rww | 11:10 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Still no luck? | 11:11 |
| Wakou | could someone help me, please with a CLI commmand...? | 11:11 |
| tiyowan_ | Wakou | !ask | 11:11 |
| aprilhare | Wakou: what sort of CLI command? there are a few of them. | 11:11 |
| Wakou | I would like to wipe a disk of everything EXCEPT media file and documents.... | 11:12 |
| JollyRoger | tiyowan, nah it still wont work. | 11:12 |
| rebel_kid | can i set volume from terminal? if so can i chain commands (im using kalarm to run a command after a specified time) is there another simple method to do this? | 11:12 |
| tiyowan_ | Wakou: Copy what you need to another disk, then wipe out everything. | 11:12 |
| Wakou | lol.... | 11:12 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Was it working breaking? | 11:12 |
| h3adnut | that url doesnt help me | 11:13 |
| tiyowan_ | Wakou: ? | 11:13 |
| JollyRoger | No, just no sound at all. | 11:13 |
| Wakou | I was hoping for a nifty CL command | 11:13 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Doh. I meant, was it working before? | 11:13 |
| JollyRoger | i have it set to the right config. my logitech headphones. | 11:13 |
| h3adnut | mr_boo | 11:13 |
| JollyRoger | well until i installed ubuntu, lol yes. | 11:13 |
| Wakou | (I don't know unix too well) but... | 11:13 |
| syberjj | guys every time i install ubuntu its the same problem. is there a SIMPLE way of getting samba to work? the only way I got my ubuntu system to see windows shares was to install webmin and change the workgroup using it. I edited the smb.conf file manualy MANY times to change my workgroup but it never helps. now i see the other workgroup listed but i cant see any computers in it. there is another ubuntu server in that network acting as a fi | 11:14 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Okay...hmm. Try typing "killall pulseaudio" from a teminal. Then check please. | 11:14 |
| Wakou | DEL *.* -*.mp3, *.avi, *.doc sort of thing... | 11:14 |
| tiyowan_ | Wakou: man rm | 11:15 |
| NET||abuse | wow, i have alot of crap outs of synergy client on my machine,, what does it mean when the process is marked "defunked" when i use ps aux | grep syn | 11:15 |
| JollyRoger | Nothing happed. | 11:15 |
| NET||abuse | i have to kill -9 the process as quicksynergy can't kill it when it's defunked like that. | 11:15 |
| NET||abuse | or is it defunced? | 11:16 |
| Wakou | ? that would give me the syntax for the rm command? | 11:16 |
| NET||abuse | no first one i think | 11:16 |
| JollyRoger | pulseaudio: no process killed | 11:16 |
| Wakou | ... ty tiyowan.. | 11:16 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Hmm...could you go into System -> Preferences -> Sound and try changing random stuff to ALSA? :-) | 11:16 |

| syberjj | jollyroger, close firefox before testing | 11:17 |
| farnsworth_ | hi | 11:17 |
| farnsworth_ | im looking for a skypeclient, but not the original | 11:18 |
| farnsworth_ | is there one | 11:18 |
| syberjj | jollyroger - on most systems flash has the nice "addition" of blocking the sound by using the old sound system. so before you can test it cloase firefox and all sound apps, then open the sound apps u wanna test again | 11:18 |
| syberjj | farnsworth_ www.skype.com and download the original for linux? | 11:18 |
| farnsworth_ | nah | 11:18 |
| farnsworth_ | i read the wikipedia-critics | 11:19 |
| JollyRoger | hmm | 11:19 |
| farnsworth_ | not good. | 11:19 |
| JollyRoger | 1 sec. | 11:19 |
| rww | farnsworth_: skype's protocol is proprietary and heavily-obfuscated, so i doubt there's a good third-party client for it. | 11:19 |
| syberjj | farnsworth_ - i use it all the time. its not as pretty as the windows version but worked 100% so far | 11:19 |
| JollyRoger | well the test works fine. only after im done testing, i checked youtube and still no sound. | 11:20 |
| tiyowan_ | farnsworth_: Skype's code is closed-source. | 11:20 |
| h3adnut | so what the fu** i can do against this error | 11:20 |
| farnsworth_ | syberjj: yes, it works fine, but its closed and send encrypted date to $servers | 11:20 |
| mr_boo | how do i tell my ubuntu system to use another linux-swap partition as first choice? | 11:20 |
| tiyowan_ | farnsworth_: A GPL Skype client does not exist as of now. | 11:20 |
| farnsworth_ | hm ok | 11:21 |
| syberjj | JollyRoger - its kind of complicated - flash doesnt use ALSA so it only allows one sound app at a time | 11:21 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Um..do you get sound when you try to play MP3s? | 11:21 |
| tiyowan_ | JollyRoger: Because if you do, then that means that Flash is up to no good. | 11:21 |
| JollyRoger | well i dont have any mp3's on here at the moment but i can try projectplaylist | 11:21 |
| allsystemsarego | JollyRoger, do you have libflashsupport on your system? | 11:21 |
| rebel_kid | i cant seem to find a way to control volume through terminal, i need a command to set the master volume | 11:21 |
| syberjj | JollyRoger - There is some way of installing flash the right way, dont remember it now though.. | 11:22 |
| allsystemsarego | rebel_kid, try aumix | 11:22 |
| JollyRoger | i have no clue | 11:22 |
| syberjj | Can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu to see windows fileshares? i freaking hate samba right now.... | 11:22 |
| rebel_kid | allsystemsarego, ty | 11:22 |
| allsystemsarego | syberjj, Places-Connect to server? | 11:23 |
| JollyRoger | mp3's are a no go. | 11:23 |
| allsystemsarego | !samba | syberjj | 11:23 |
| ubottu | syberjj: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

| k21 | command to install xchat in terminal plz | 11:25 |
| syberjj | allsystemsarego - i want to see all computers from a workgroup using places>network. only way i got this to work was by installing webmin and configuring samba through there to join the workgroup i wanted it to join. all other sorts of workgroup change (including manual edit of smb.conf > "workgroup = WORKGROUP" didnt work. | 11:25 |
| rww | k21: sudo apt-get install xchat | 11:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | k21: sudo apt-get install xchat | 11:25 |
| allsystemsarego | JollyRoger, go to add/remove and install ubuntu restricted extras | 11:26 |
| syberjj | allsystemsarego - and i realy dont want to isntall webmin again | 11:26 |
| rebel_kid | allsystemsarego, now do you know how to enter two commands on one line? ex aumix do this and vlc do this | 11:26 |
| JollyRoger | there already installer. | 11:27 |
| allsystemsarego | rebel_kid, use a semicolon (;) to separate the commands | 11:27 |
| rebel_kid | allsystemsarego, thats what i thought, didnt work :( | 11:27 |
| k21 | should we first download xchat?? | 11:27 |
| allsystemsarego | JollyRoger, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 11:28 |
| allsystemsarego | rebel_kid, I need more details | 11:28 |
| k21 | see, previously im using fedora | 11:28 |
| JollyRoger | are you sure its a flash problem ? mp3's do not work either. | 11:28 |
| allsystemsarego | syberjj, not sure if I can help | 11:29 |
| allsystemsarego | JollyRoger, even with VLC? | 11:29 |
| rebel_kid | allsystemsarego, might be a problem in kalarm, command runs fine in terminal, ty | 11:29 |
| JollyRoger | nothing. | 11:29 |
| syberjj | allsystemsarego - k thx anyway | 11:29 |

| rww | Tyrath: bitlbee is an IRC server that connects to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, etc., so you can talk to people on those networks from within your irc client | 11:41 |
| Tyrath | rww: I want to get as many progs as i can on shell to save memory | 11:41 |
| farnsworth_ | OhNos: f2 | 11:41 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:after i enable the restricted ati driver and reboot my monitor will out of range again.. | 11:41 |
| farnsworth_ | not 2 | 11:41 |
| Tyrath | rww: oh | 11:41 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Hmm...could you explain what you mean by "out of range" please? | 11:42 |
| mr_boo | is it recommended to edit the /proc/swaps file? | 11:42 |
| Photoguy | I'm having trouble with Blender..after minimizing sometimes it doesn't restore when I try to! | 11:42 |
| tww6644 | mr_boo: you can't | 11:42 |
| tiyowan_ | mr_boo: Be careful. | 11:42 |
| Photoguy | Ubuntu 8.10 | 11:42 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:"Out of Range" pop up on my screen monitor and it goes blank after that | 11:43 |
| tombee | Gah keep getting random crashes on intrepid on my 1st gen Macbook. Machine just completly locks, can't move mouse or anything. Anyone else had similar problems? | 11:43 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Ah gotcha. What card are you using? | 11:43 |
| tww6644 | mr_boo: /proc/swaps is a read only file, even for root. it is not a real file, it just read information from the kernel | 11:43 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:ati sapphire 256MB 9550 | 11:44 |
| mr_boo | tww6644: should i use the "swapon" command then instead? | 11:44 |
| AltinT | tiyowan_: yes but every time i launch amarok, they need to reload, and it takes a lot of time ... any faster ways? | 11:44 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Roger. Wait one, please. | 11:44 |
| allsystemsarego | !swap | mr_boo | 11:44 |
| ubottu | mr_boo: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 11:44 |
| tww6644 | mr_boo: yes, swapon/swapoff is for turning on/off swap | 11:44 |
| Mulletar | when someone has a minute I think I screwed my MBR | 11:44 |
| tiyowan_ | AltinT: Um, try another player? | 11:44 |
| mr_boo | tww6644: many thanks | 11:44 |
| AltinT | tiyowan_: which ones are there | 11:45 |
| AltinT | ? | 11:45 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:ok,and i cant run my compiz :(( | 11:45 |
| Photoguy | Is there a shortcut for System monitor? | 11:45 |
| tiyowan_ | AltinT: Well...look in Add/Remove Programs. | 11:45 |
| Photoguy | Kind of like Cntrl+Alt+Delet? | 11:45 |
| AltinT | ctrl+est i think | 11:45 |
| AltinT | esc* | 11:45 |
| mr_boo | wonder why that tut and others recommend making a swap file rather than assicoate a partition | 11:46 |
| OhNos | farnsworth_: same, just sits there. my mouse can move though | 11:46 |
| ubuntu008 | Photoguy: try installing screenlets | 11:46 |
| allsystemsarego | Photoguy, you can define it with ubuntu-tweak | 11:46 |
| Photoguy | Screenlets? | 11:46 |
| Photoguy | Ok | 11:46 |
| ubuntu008 | Photoguy: yes screenlets, or gkrellm, conky | 11:46 |
| Tyrath | rww: when i first started it up it wouldn't work. it explained that there was a read/write permission flaw with a specific folder - i set u+rw for that folder and it still gives the same error :/ | 11:46 |

| Mulletar | I can't boot XP via GRUB after I have just installed Ubuntu. Can anyone help me with this | 11:47 |
| farnsworth_ | DarkFuzion: i got a 9000 and it works (ati opensourcedrivers; shipped with ubuntu) | 11:48 |
| rww | Tyrath: I remember needing to do some reconfiguration of it to get it to work right with Ubuntu. I'm about to go to sleep, though, and don't remember what I did. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bitlbee might help, maybe? | 11:48 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Ok. Are you in recovery mode now? | 11:48 |
| DarkFuzion | what that | 11:48 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:yes | 11:48 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:48 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Wait. | 11:49 |
| rww | Tyrath: or just use one of the public bitlbee servers (see bitlbee's homepage) if you don't mind sending your login credentials to some random server | 11:49 |
| Tyrath | rww: thanks for the heads up. i'll give it a shot | 11:49 |
| DarkFuzion | farnsworth shipped with the cd? | 11:49 |
| farnsworth_ | DarkFuzion: just install ubuntu and i guess it will just works fine even in opengl | 11:49 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Is your GUI started up now? | 11:49 |
| Tyrath | rww: also would you know how compatible it is with skype? | 11:49 |

| Tyrath | rww: apparently it supports skype but i don't know if that means it allows me to make calls, etc. | 11:49 |
| DarkFuzion | how do i get compiz | 11:49 |
| imed | im with you | 11:49 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: It doesn't work? | 11:49 |
| xukun | Skry^, how do I install doom? | 11:49 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:gui is working fine | 11:50 |

| imed | yes of cours | 11:50 |
| OhNos | if all keyboard shortcuts are doing nothing, I'll be forced to reboot won't I? | 11:50 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:but i am not using ati driver i think | 11:50 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Are you using the ATI drivers right now? | 11:50 |
| Tyrath | DarkFuzion: sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome | 11:50 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Check by going to System -> Admin. -> Hardware Drivers please. | 11:50 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:how to check whether i am using it or not? | 11:50 |
| Mulletar | I think that I told GRUB to install on my windows partition on my other disk and now I can't boot XP | 11:50 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:wait a sec | 11:51 |
| imed | can i speak en french | 11:51 |
| tiyowan_ | Mulleter: Boot from a Win disc, go to the recovery console, and trype fixmbr. This'll wipe out GRUB. Then do a reinstall of GRUB from the LiveCD. | 11:51 |
| rww | imed: no. If you want to speak in French, do it in #ubuntu-fr. | 11:51 |
| Tyrath | imed: you knwo that answer to that | 11:51 |
| Mulletar | I know spanish if that helps | 11:51 |
| Tyrath | imed: vas-au #ubuntu-fr, vas-y! | 11:51 |

| imed | but in ubuntu have few image | 11:56 |
| d-b | Lunz: sorry. i thought he was being a troll for a second. | 11:56 |
| rww | imed: right-click on the desktop, hit the bottom option on the menu that pops up ("Change Desktop Background" if you have Ubuntu configured to be in english), select an image from the window that pops up or click the + Add... button. | 11:56 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: When you activate the ATI drivers, they seem to set an incorrect monitor configuration in your xorg.conf file. That causes your monitor to go out of range. | 11:56 |

| r3dux | imed, you could vm it | 11:58 |

| tiyowan_ | Mulletar: No worries, mate. :-) | 12:00 |
| justaquickquesti | hey guys | 12:00 |
| relik77080 | hey - my sound through totem has stopped working - but continues to work through vlc.... whats going on? | 12:00 |
| Mulletar | a lot of shit has gone wrong for me in the last 20 hours and this is one that I don't need but sounds like I can fix. | 12:00 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/86208/ | 12:01 |
| r3dux | relik77080, sounds like totem is trying to use a diff sound card/system | 12:01 |
| imed | im now in vm,and i like to go to partion D tha exite sur wine | 12:01 |
| tiyowan_ | Mulletar: I had to deal with a lot of issues when installing Ubuntu, too. At one point, I thought I'd wiped my 100 GB disk. But thankfully, I had not. | 12:01 |
| r3dux | relik77080, I'd fiddle w/ totem options | 12:01 |
| relik77080 | r3dux: also sonbird crashes when i play a song (it has been stable so far) and I think is related | 12:01 |
| sohaib | Ebtihaj | 12:02 |
| justaquickquesti | can anyone confirm if opera is gone from the partner repository? | 12:02 |
| sohaib | http://www.olpc.blogsky.com | 12:02 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Um...according to this, you're using the ATI drivers. | 12:02 |
| r3dux | relik77080, I installed the 1.0.18 alsa to get sound working in the first place, then use asoundconf set-default-card to switch between onboard and external USB soundcards (because can't mute headphone w/ onboard) - try newest alsa | 12:02 |

| syberjj | how do i make ubuntu join a windows network? | 12:03 |
| relik77080 | r3dux: but sound works through vlc just fine | 12:03 |
| r3dux | I use compiz-fusion. It's still buggy. Using "fusion-icon" to reload window manager/decorators helps a bit | 12:03 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:ok but i think the resolution is too high?but it doesnt set my screen resolution | 12:03 |
| relik77080 | and nothing has been added or removed since yesterday when everything worked | 12:04 |
| r3dux | frackn eye-candy... nice when it works, mostly a pain in the a$$ | 12:04 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Are you in recovery mode now? | 12:04 |
| pybe | syberjj, what do you mean "windows network" | 12:05 |
| relik77080 | i just tested sound playback through the sound preferences - and theres seems to be a problem - it says connection refused | 12:05 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:yes,i did not reboot yet. i already enable the ati restricted driver if i reboot now my screen will goes blank because of out of range | 12:05 |
| pengo | i've given up on audacity.. are there other similar apps? | 12:05 |
| justaquickquesti | are they updating the opera package for 9.6? | 12:05 |
| JollyRoger | hey does anyone use crossover for linux ? | 12:05 |
| syberjj | pybe - i cant get ubuntu to join the same Domain as the windows boxes (for example WORKGROUP) | 12:05 |
| Thurin1 | JollyRoger, I've tried it - why? | 12:05 |
| Thurin1 | The results are not much better than the latest Wine to be honest. | 12:06 |
| Mulletar | nothing is ever easy is it tiyowan_? | 12:06 |
| JollyRoger | well i just installed GTA SA with it and i need to replace the main exe file and i cant find the actual directory to let me do so lol. | 12:06 |
| relik77080 | is there a way to reset the sound server? | 12:06 |
| relik77080 | from the terminal? | 12:06 |
| Mulletar | Well my XP disk is at a friend's place so I guess that It'll have to wait eh? | 12:06 |
| simplexio | justaquickquesti: if i recall right, its not in ubuntu repo but .deb from opera page works | 12:06 |
| tiyowan_ | Mulletar: Makes it fun. :-) | 12:06 |
| Thurin1 | JollyRoger, It should usually be ~./whatever... | 12:06 |
| Mulletar | indeed | 12:06 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:any idea? | 12:07 |
| pybe | syberjj, do you want to join a workgroup or a domain? | 12:07 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Okay. I want you to *activate* the ATI drivers, please. Ok? Then I need you to type a series of commands. Best if you note this down. | 12:07 |
| Mulletar | Well thanks again tiyowan_. I'll ttyl | 12:07 |
| simplexio | justaquickquesti: i have 9.6 but i dont rememeber did i install it from repos or did i just got it from opera homepage | 12:07 |
| JollyRoger | well i went to hom cxgames but i cant find the programs etc..etc.. folder | 12:07 |
| JollyRoger | home* | 12:07 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:i am ready,shoot | 12:07 |
| r3dux | relik77080, tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart ? | 12:07 |
| relik77080 | ok so my alsa drivers are working but pulse audio has died | 12:07 |
| justaquickquesti | simplexio: it was in the ubuntu partner repo (version 9.26), along with flash 10 | 12:07 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:already activate the ati driver | 12:07 |
| justaquickquesti | they removed it :/ | 12:07 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Finally: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm | 12:08 |
| mossmon | join #ubuntu-fi-offtopic | 12:08 |
| syberjj | pybe - in linux its called "domain name" and is set in administration>network>general>donain name. in windows its called Workgroup. i cant get the ubuntu box to join the workgroup called JUNG | 12:08 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: You'll go into text-mode okay? Don't panic. Just note down these cmds. | 12:08 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_:ok | 12:08 |
| JollyRoger | i cant figure out if the directory is hidden or what not :\ | 12:08 |
| relik77080 | r3dux: when i pick Alsa from the sound preferences - i get sound - but pulseaudo is refusing - is there an equivalent command to restart the pulse sound driver | 12:09 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: er, Finally: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 12:09 |
| r3dux | relik77080, sorry mate - never used pulseaudio =/ | 12:09 |
| syberjj | relik77080 - try running the program with AOSS in front of the command | 12:09 |
| relik77080 | i suspect a restart will fix this - but its really annoying | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip2 | JollyRoger: if its prefixed with a . - its hidden | 12:09 |
| JollyRoger | is there anyway i can view it ?? | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip2 | JollyRoger: ls -a | 12:10 |
| JollyRoger | ls -a ??? lol... | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip2 | relik77080: id imagine you'd be playing in /etc/init.d/ | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip2 | JollyRoger: yes, ls -a (all) | 12:10 |
| r3dux | Nice one, syberjj - I'd never heard of aoss | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip2 | relik77080: to start and stop stuff | 12:10 |
| k21 | is there a way to download individual updates at a time from all the available updates from one site?? | 12:11 |
| pybe | syberjj, do you have samba installed? | 12:11 |
| syberjj | r3dux - i use it with wine to make wine programs use the alsa sound driver | 12:11 |
| relik77080 | ActionParsnip2: I'm sorry thats way over my head | 12:11 |
| JollyRoger | i still have no clue how to view the directory with that lol... | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip2 | relik77080: well you stopped pulse didnt you? | 12:11 |
| Guest57830 | can someone please tell me whre i can change the application launchers hotkey? it's driving me crazy!!! it won't open with alt+f2 | 12:11 |
| syberjj | pybe - yes. ive tried editing the workgroup throught the smb.conf to but it still didnt help... kinda desperate here i never get samba to work | 12:11 |
| relik77080 | syberjj: I'm aware of the aoss command - but have never needed it with native programs | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip2 | JollyRoger: in terminal, navigate to the directory containing the possibly hidden folder / file | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip2 | JollyRoger: and type ls -a | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !shortcuts | Guest57830 | 12:12 |
| ubottu | Guest57830: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 12:12 |
| pybe | syberjj, is there a firewall on the box? | 12:12 |
| relik77080 | ActionParsnip2: I just switched the preferred sound device to alsa - but when i switch back to pulse the problem persists | 12:12 |
| syberjj | pybe only way i got my ubuntu box to join the wokgroup i wanted was installing webmin and then changing the workgroup through it. but i dont want to isntall webmin again >.< | 12:12 |
| JollyRoger | it just shows the same crap, nothing new when i enter the cxgames directory | 12:13 |

| ActionParsnip2 | !webmin | syberjj | 12:13 |
| ubottu | syberjj: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 12:13 |
| syberjj | pybe - no no firewall | 12:13 |
| pengo | i've given up on audacity.. are there other similar apps? | 12:13 |
| syberjj | ActionParsnip2 - read again what i said, I DONT want to use it lol | 12:13 |

| ActionParsnip2 | syberjj: sudo apt-get --purge remove webmin | 12:14 |
| Guest57830 | ActionParsnip2: i tried that, but even if i change it, nothing happens (though the changemetnss are being saved) | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip2 | syberjj: you can change it via ssh, | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip2 | syberjj: your workgroup | 12:14 |
| pybe | syberjj, does your conf look like this http://pybe.pastebin.com/f2bf94c0c | 12:14 |
| relik77080 | actually i have another problem too - i use deluge to download torrents - occassionally when the downloads finish - I lose network connectivity - requiring a restart too - any ideas anyone? | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip2 | syberjj: is it for samba sharing or just the pc in general? | 12:15 |
| syberjj | actionparsnip2 pybe - my config is default since i dont want to create any shares on this PC, I changed the "workgroup = JUNG" but it still didnt help (used sudeo gedit ....smb.conf). I jsut want to be able to see all computers and the samba fileserver that are in the workgroup JUNG | 12:16 |
| r3dux | relik77080, use ktorrent ;) | 12:16 |
| tiyowan_ | I hope Lunz isn't stuck in text-mode. :/ | 12:16 |
| relik77080 | im on gnome - and never really liked ktorrent when i tried it back on 7.10 | 12:17 |
| syberjj | actionparsnip2 pybe - the "windows" workgroup JUNG | 12:17 |
| pybe | syberjj, can you paste your conf in pastebin.com | 12:17 |
| r3dux | relik77080, seems okay to me, only used it since 8.10 tho | 12:17 |
| syberjj | pybe k sec | 12:17 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: Hi. How's it going? | 12:18 |

| === Guest57830 is now known as AltinT | ||

| cableroy | is there a dedicated channel for mdadm help out there? i got serious problem with my raid5 | 12:20 |
| relik77080 | r3dux: ActionParsnip2 could the deluge problem be related to its daemon that continues to run? | 12:20 |

| r3dux | wiki 3G | 12:20 |
| tiyowan_ | !3G | 12:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 3G | 12:21 |
| syberjj | ActionParsnip2 - i have a workgroup called JUNG. in it are windows boxes and a ubuntu samba fileserver. I want to join the network JUNG with this new ubuntu box im adding to the group. i already tried changing that line do workgrou = JUNG but it didnt help, I was able to see the workgroup JUNG then but there were no other PCs in it | 12:21 |
| sabgenton | mobile internet? | 12:21 |
| Lunz | tiyowan_: can you give me the command again | 12:21 |
| relik77080 | a workaround to the problem i've found is to disable moblock - and then reenable - but that seems like really odd behaviour | 12:21 |
| tiyowan_ | Lunz: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Finally: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 12:21 |
| pybe | syberjj, you need to edit it with the workgroup name and restart samba | 12:22 |
| tiyowan_ | From what I know, 3G is the third generation of mobile data services. | 12:22 |

| sabgenton | its in ubuntu promotional guff so I thought it might be obvious to some | 12:22 |
| sabgenton | yeah | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip2 | pybe: i asked him if it was for samba loads :( | 12:22 |
| sabgenton | so it has mobile internet suport | 12:22 |
| sabgenton | k | 12:22 |
| r3dux | relik77080, moblock... ahh Just looked it up. Used to have a stack of probs w/ peerguardian. Mostly it crashing 10 mins after I'd gone to bed, taking the torrent client down w/ it | 12:22 |
| sabgenton | that was my first guess | 12:22 |
| JollyRoger | wow, i didnt expect this much trouble :\ | 12:23 |
| pybe | ActionParsnip2, loads? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip2 | pybe: lots of times | 12:23 |
| pybe | ActionParsnip2, i see. AFAICT he just wants to be able to browse the workgroup JUNG | 12:24 |
| r3dux | Are machines on the JUNG workgroup set to share anything? If not... you'll see machines, but not access anything on 'em | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip2 | pybe: oh, well he can. That will only change the workgroup his shares appear in if browsed from another comuter | 12:25 |
| syberjj | pybe to restart samba is it enough to go to administration> services and unselect samba, close it, open it again, select samba and apply? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | syberjj: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 12:25 |
| pybe | syberjj, in console sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 12:25 |
| pybe | lol | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | syberjj: that gui method is god slow | 12:25 |
| r3dux | grins | 12:25 |
| syberjj | actionparsnip2 yeah lol but i didnt remember the command... ok lets test now... | 12:26 |
| pybe | syberjj, all service type things are in /etc/init.d | 12:26 |
| relik77080 | i give up - think a restart is simply the easiest solution... as long as it actually works | 12:27 |

| kelvin911 | how come file roller doesnt have terminal command to unrar? | 12:38 |
| sabgenton | does wubi install grub or does it just use ntloader? | 12:39 |

| kelvin911 | why? | 12:43 |

| pybe | kelvin911, tar czvf blah.tgz /mystuff | 12:43 |
| syberj2 | pybe - there are about 20 computers in the JUNG group including another ubuntu box using samba and i cant see any of them | 12:43 |
| pengo | ActionParsnip2: it's only for ripping CDs | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip2 | pengo: bah | 12:44 |
| kelvin911 | why tar is better than zip or rar? | 12:44 |
| kelvin911 | or 7zip ? | 12:44 |
| r3dux | vinnie_, mount them. For a NTFS drive you'd first create a folder to mount to (sudo mkdir /mnt/windows), then use sudo mound -t NTFS /mnt/windows /dev/sdXX where xx is sda1, sdb2 -- whatever your drive is | 12:44 |
| r3dux | "sudo mount" | 12:44 |
| jrib | kelvin911: tar is just what is used more and rar isn't free | 12:44 |
| pybe | syberj2, can you ping and rsolve the etc? Do you have dns or wins? | 12:44 |
| justaquickquesti | kelvin911: depends on what you want to do with the files | 12:44 |
| prahal_ | how do one report a bug ? I tried to use reportbug but it tells me I need to be subscribed to a list (the name of the list I forgot , having it would resolve my issue too | 12:44 |

| r3dux | Andy80, UMTS sounds pretty new tech... I'd be surprised if NetworkManager was even aware of it | 13:01 |
| trae | I'm trying to migrate from this tmp laptop I set up ( I installed LAMP - Trac - Zenoss and a few other things ) I want to take a snapshot of this machine and put it on another machine I can use for a server. what is the easiest path to making that happen (aside from just starting over from scratch) | 13:02 |
| tiyowan | !clone | trae | 13:02 |
| ubottu | trae: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 13:02 |
| Andy80 | r3dux: I'm a bit surprised of listening to that! Since it's one of the most discussed features of NetworkManager 0.7 | 13:02 |

| r3dux | clone ftw. If you actually "clone" a drive all the h/w is diff and things flip out | 13:03 |
| trae | tiyowan: will that allow me to grab say all my configs and such ? | 13:03 |
| r3dux | Andy80, Then I'm very wrong - and I apologise for clouding the issue :) | 13:03 |

| BeBeLuShuL | but how to set it up on my ubuntu ? | 13:26 |

| napnap | but in my pam configuration I don't see any pam_time module..any idea ? | 13:27 |
| jrib | Junglenut: so what would compiling have to do with that? | 13:27 |
| gaelfx | ok, I'l try restating. 'apt-get -f install' wants to remove the following packages: f-spot, fast-user-switch-applet, gnome-applets, gnome-panel and ubuntu-desktop. I don't think I want any of those removed, is it possible that my dependencies lists are out of whack? can I fix it by dumping them and re-updating? | 13:27 |

| skoef | Tyrath: ensure yourself your ircd is running and that it is listening on 127.0.0.1:6667 (or ::1 of course) | 13:41 |
| hischild | DASPRiD, you're probably running an entirely different X session as well, meaning it'll have everyting seperated from the first session. | 13:41 |
| n8tuser | Tyrath-> are you serving anything on port 6667 ? <-- are you serving ? | 13:41 |

| Raylz | hi i get a connection timed out when trying to access a friends pc via ssh | 14:10 |
| jrib | gaelfx: don't see what's happening. Obviously the info apt is using is for a package other than the ubuntu package. I have to go now though. Someone else will help | 14:10 |
| Raylz | he already enabled port forwarding | 14:10 |
| Slart_ | hal_v2: I think the icon you're looking for is the network manager | 14:10 |
| Slart_ | hal_v2: afaik it should still be there.. unless you're uninstalled it or something | 14:10 |
| gaelfx | jrib: thanks man | 14:10 |
| Raylz | he doesnt run iptables | 14:10 |
| hal_v2 | Okay, well network manager isn't in the list of things to add to panel. | 14:11 |
| sachael | please, can someone grep his /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache for "nautilus" or "folder" or "inode"? Thanks | 14:11 |

| Slart_ | hal_v2: under? it's in the same space as the pidgin icon, the skype icon, the tracker icon and so on.. the place where running program put their icons | 14:13 |
| IdleOne | jesper_, folders with a . in front of the name are hidden hit ctrl+h to unhide | 14:13 |

| Pici | iluminator101: I don't see how this is Ubuntu related. Try #ubuntu-offtopic or google. | 14:55 |

| veltsu | honestly guys, who's messing with my mind here? Just now I got my soundcard to work but then i noticed my wireless was not functional. A restart and now it's vice versa: network is ok but no sound...this must be some elaborate prank. Ha ha, very funny | 15:31 |
| DarkKnight | Jack_Sparrow; through Synaptic..i install anjuta...it shows that it one of its dependencies is the gcc-4.2.....but even gcc is required...so such similar problem may occur with other packages | 15:31 |
| tewmten | is there any way I can invoke the network configuration script used during the ubuntu installation, but in an already running installation of ubuntu? | 15:31 |

| Stormx2 | Dvyjones: What did you do? | 16:02 |
| bastid_raZor | Guiri; for kubuntu try #kubuntu they may be of more help | 16:02 |
| coddy | hey all | 16:02 |
| rrohde | hwilde: Clients can access the internet if we masq. But - when masq, we lose the Client's original IP address, as it is masked with that of the Ap | 16:02 |
| Pici | Guiri: Are you using KDE or OpenBox? | 16:03 |
| nite_johnboy | hwilde; of course not ... will try it though - I picked one up the other day that outputs a list of all hardware devices in comp. to a .html file - that's a nice one to have. | 16:03 |
| Dvyjones | Stormx2: ps aux | grep pulseaudio, then kill -9 the pid :P | 16:03 |
| hwilde | rrohde, ok I follow you so far, your clients can associate to the AP, and they get an IP, and they can get to the internet. now what is the issue? | 16:03 |
| Guiri | Pici - Openbox right now. I have Openbox isntalled on Kubuntu and can select the session at the KDM. But I want pypanel to load with openbox somehow | 16:03 |

| hwilde | crackintosh, /Volumes/Backup/mysqldump_`date +%Y%m%d`.sql | 16:04 |
| Pici | Guiri: Mentioning Kubuntu just seems to confuse people, just ask for help with Openbox. | 16:04 |
| crackintosh | hwilde: thank you | 16:04 |
| yaaar | well, i'm back | 16:04 |
| rrohde | hwilde: the issue is that in doing so, we are not getting the actual client IP address. Instead we get the IP addy of the AP, as the AP masquerades them. We would like to have the same effect for the client getting to the internet, but with the client keeping his initial IP so we can work with it | 16:04 |
| yaaar | rebooting had no effect. | 16:05 |
| hwilde | rrohde, but that's not how your AP works | 16:05 |
| Veinor | is there any sort of repository of general ubuntu tips/tricks/whatever? | 16:05 |

| bastid_raZor | \\`oot; avant-window-navigator is the actual command name and it should be installed in /usr/bin/ if you installed from the repo's | 16:07 |
| rrohde | hwilde: the client IP is being routed through a proxy, which displays some info on the client's browser before he reaches the internet | 16:07 |
| nite_johnboy | hwilde; I thought that what is was - but was not certain. | 16:07 |
| hwilde | yaaar, might sound silly... reboot your printer? | 16:07 |

| Veinor | i mean, like, does it just cover basic stuff like redirecting and pipes, or does it get into tricky stuff like editing xorg.conf and the like? | 16:09 |
| nite_johnboy | hwilde; So If what I'm looking at with this command - it gives me a list of all the different shell commands I've ever used - correct? | 16:09 |
| py_ | I've a feisty box installed, which hasn't been update for a while. Now when I try "apt-get update" it fails with several 404. Looking at the repositories, it looks like there is no "feisty" directory anymore (eg look there: http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/). What am I supposed to do to be able to install stuff on the box? | 16:09 |
| yaaar | hwilde: there's no one else (and no other computers) here | 16:09 |
| hwilde | nite_johnboy, yep. and you can execute them with !495 or whatever line number. just put the ! in front. you can also do like !h and it will match the last command that started with h | 16:09 |
| hwilde | Veinor, I didn't memorize the entire books. they cover lots of stuff. | 16:10 |
| bazhang | py_, its end of life (feisty) | 16:10 |
| Veinor | i'll check them out | 16:10 |
| bazhang | !eol | py_ | 16:10 |
| ubottu | py_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 16:10 |
| hwilde | py_, change be.archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com | 16:11 |
| yaaar | hwilde: i turned the printer off then on; no change. | 16:11 |
| \\`oot | Hi again, if there is a program on the Applications menu, how do I figure out what the CLI command to run it is? | 16:12 |
| hwilde | \\`oot, right click on the menu, edit menus, find hte thing you want, right click, properties | 16:13 |
| meganox | \\`oot: easiest way is right-click add to panel then right click on the new panel icon and select properties | 16:13 |
| meganox | \\`oot: that's faster than bringing up the menu editor | 16:13 |
| \\`oot | thank you! | 16:13 |

| L3Tum | jtanner, thanks | 16:37 |
| zenit | gasmask: you configured the network manually? | 16:37 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, I dunno maybe I read wrong what are you trying to do again ?? | 16:38 |
| jtanner | L3Tum: vim-gnome is the package name | 16:38 |
| gasmask | yeah, all computers have static IPs | 16:38 |
| hwilde | Guiri, have you tried googling about your question ? | 16:38 |
| Guiri | yeah. doing so now and not finding much. Seems like a simple syntax error | 16:38 |
| gasmask | zenit:yeah, all computers have static IPs | 16:38 |
| bazhang | Guiri, what question | 16:38 |
| mr_boo | hwilde: i want to force ubuntu to use my /dev/sdb1 partition instead of my /dev/sda3 for swapping | 16:38 |
| L3Tum | jtanner, do you happen to know the difference in the gnome one and the gtk one? I have gnome gtk+2 | 16:38 |
| soopaulo | gghghgthghh | 16:38 |
| zenit | gasmask: I would check first the default gateway, then dns. | 16:38 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, that is in /etc/fstab | 16:38 |
| Guiri | bazhang: I'm trying to figure out how to add pypanel and conky to load to my /usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop | 16:39 |

| Guiri | to load them at boot | 16:39 |
| mr_boo | hwilde: in fact, i've got two swap partitions | 16:39 |
| jtanner | L3Tum: gtk = gnome | 16:39 |
| mr_boo | hwilde: one created later by myself | 16:39 |
| bhasu_ | hwilde :: actually itz detecting as a cdrom device ...it has a in built mass storage to store the windows drivers ....i googled it ..but i couldint find a solution for that ... | 16:39 |

| mr_boo | hwilde: now i want to convince ubuntu to suddenly use this new swap drive | 16:39 |
| gasmask | zenit: would you still be able to access the LAN if that was the problem, and if so, were is the conf. file? | 16:39 |
| Stormx2 | "a. Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only). - thats a read-only connection (its auto). You can only edit it when you rename the connection otherwise the above error will show." from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7. How can I rename the connection? | 16:39 |
| Guiri | No, the base install is kubuntu but it shouldn't matter - the sessions are all stored in /usr/share/xsessions | 16:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mr_boo Perhaps in /etc/fstab | 16:40 |
| mr_boo | gotta try | 16:40 |
| zenit | gasmask: yes, you would still be able to access the lan, but not Internet. | 16:40 |
| Stormx2 | Failing that, how can I use the old GNOME Network dialog to configure connections? This obviously isn't working | 16:40 |
| mr_boo | hope its recommended to edit fstab | 16:40 |
| === ding is now known as viezerd | ||
| zenit | gasmask: not sure if you use network manager, or the traditional way. Anyway, dns is set in /etc/resolv.conf, netstat -rn will show the routing table. Look at destination 0.0.0.0. | 16:41 |
| Andy_ | uh I am new to linux and its derivatives..I have xubuntu installed 8.0.4 now the problem I am facing in that I installed xchat from a site..any idea how ot install it without again making the add/remove manager to download it? | 16:41 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, that is in /etc/fstab | 16:41 |
| mr_boo | i already can change with "swapon" and "swapoff" but that's not a permanent solution | 16:41 |
| zenit | gasmask: if you configure network the traditional way, then look in /etc/network/interfaces | 16:41 |

| Pici | bastid_raZor: Looks like they are looking up values from gconf | 16:42 |
| bazhang | Guiri, dont know much about openbox config; I had tried something like that with lxde (ie conky) and had a bit of luck | 16:42 |
| Andy_ | any suggestings for my problem? | 16:42 |
| n8tuser | Andy_-> being new to linux, why do you attempt to do things differently? why not follow the accepted procedure? | 16:43 |
| mr_boo | this is my fstab, http://pastebin.com/m433cb313 | 16:43 |
| fosco_ | Andy_, DO NOT download anything, just use package manager: sudo apt-get install xchat | 16:43 |
| Andy_ | ah thank you i will try that | 16:43 |
| bastid_raZor | Pici; this seems to be done at exactly the same time daily and run in succession, | 16:43 |
| vernet | hey... I'm trying to make a quick graphical installer for some software, I just need it to copy some files to various spots in a user's home directory, and there are some really large files, so it needs a progress bar... anyone know some installer software that is well suited for my needs? | 16:43 |
| vernet | something similiar to vmware-installer but that is free for me to use | 16:43 |
| Andy_ | n8user ..i try things differently to know them and wel..if i already DL'ed it why would i want the manager to do it again? | 16:43 |
| gasmask | zenit: destination 0.0.0.0. has a gateway of my router with flags of UG. Also, /etc/network/interfaces looks to be configured correctly... | 16:43 |
| Arrowhead212002 | hey just wondering.... im trying to put a folder in my /usr/shared/sounds folder and it says i dont have permission to do that .... | 16:44 |
| Pici | bastid_raZor: Are you sure they are running that manually? It may be a program requesting those gconf keys in an odd manner. | 16:44 |
| zenit | gasmask: that sounds correct, how about dns? | 16:44 |
| Andy_ | okay so i wont download anything manually | 16:44 |

| mr_boo | hwilde: sorry for bothering you further but do you think i could just exchange the text "/dev/sda3" with my desired "/dev/sdb1"? | 16:45 |
| mgagne | I have a quick question regarding Ubuntu as part of a Xen setup (domU) | 16:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Andy_ It is much safer to stick with the versions in our repos | 16:45 |
| mr_boo | hwilde: in my fstab, http://pastebin.com/m433cb313 | 16:45 |
| Andy_ | sudo apt-get install mozilla? will that update my mozilla? | 16:45 |
| bastid_raZor | Pici; i don't think they are doing it manually no, i just don't know what it is their account is doing.. as far as i know they hardly ever login to this box which is why i am confused by this. | 16:45 |
| n8tuser | Andy_-> i suggest you read up a book on ubuntu or linux in general, to get you acclimated | 16:46 |
| Andy_ | yeah ia m already reading tuts.. | 16:46 |
| Andy_ | gusty wiki | 16:46 |
| amortvigil | what is that killspkr command actually? | 16:46 |
| Andy_ | any thanks for your help... | 16:46 |
| Andy_ | anyway* | 16:46 |
| n8tuser | Andy_-> it will only update up to the latest supported version in the repository, sometimes repository does not have the latest version, at it requires testing (and takes time) | 16:47 |
| bastid_raZor | amortvigil; most commands have a man page.. man commandname | 16:47 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, you sure. worst that can happen is you reboot with no swap and switch it back | 16:47 |
| Stormx2 | I still can't get this network to work. the "ifupdown (eth0)" device listed in System>Preferences>Network is malconfigured, I CAN'T edit it, I can't delete it. Adding another config does nothing. I'm completely stumped. Any ideas? | 16:47 |
| plan9 | so i haven't had sound since some early update of intrepid | 16:47 |
| plan9 | it worked after install, it still works if i boot the livecd | 16:47 |
| amortvigil | bastid_raZor: you funny guy:P if you knew the command youd saw id spell it wrong... | 16:47 |
| mr_boo | hwilde: my biggest concern is the gooey after "/dev/sda3" | 16:47 |
| plan9 | worked fine in previous versions also | 16:48 |
| n8tuser | Stormx2 -> can you elaborate on your network layout? whats connected to which? | 16:48 |
| plan9 | what could be the problem? | 16:48 |
| Pici | bastid_raZor: They might have a proxy setup to browse the web.. | 16:48 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, oh you need the UUID | 16:48 |
| hwilde | there is a way to find the UUID of a /dev/sdb1 | 16:48 |
| hwilde | let me remember | 16:48 |
| Andy_ | ah...and ..i like want ot have this software installed and its most probably not on the list..i can download it..and in windows it used ot have a start.exe to run..so i can get the .tar file and again how would i execute it? bte its a game bot | 16:48 |
| Stormx2 | n8tuser, one ethernet card, eth0. wired up to the router. I don't care if it's DHCP or static. I can ping stuff but not resolve addresses, because there is no default nameserver defined. I can't define it, it says it's read only. Also the netmask has mysteriously been set to "4". My brother plugged his phone in yesterday evening and BAM! this happened. | 16:49 |
| bhasu_ | hwilde :: my usb modem has a mass storage and modem .....its detecting only mass storage ...in dmesg too .. | 16:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 16:49 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 16:49 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, sudo blkid | 16:49 |

| gasmask | n8tuser: np, I have a central fileserver located at 192.xxx.xxx.90, it was setup with a static IP via /etc/network/interfaces. comparing the interfaces file with another computer that can access the internet, the only difference is that the file server has entries for "network" and "broadcast" that the working one doesn't... | 16:50 |
| mr_boo | hwilde: many, many thanks | 16:50 |
| hwilde | mr_boo, sudo blkid you should get somethin like /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" UUID="5c60b197-d30d-402d-b6ec-89b9a034649e" | 16:50 |

| FreeFull | Buster_Hymen: Yes, and don't mount the partition. | 17:24 |

| FreeFull | Buster_Hymen: Before you restart, you can use the mount command to check what the partition name in /dev is | 17:25 |

| cgillogly | anyone know how to get firefox to recognize the default application for a filetype... I have deluge set as my default but when i click it wants to use transmission... I know I can browse and find the binary, but I want it to recognize my default app? | 18:44 |
| nonix4 | cristi: try some of the mixers, like alsamixer or that mixer applet - may have invidual controls for each output | 18:44 |
| ruffleS | cgillogly, is deluge set to be the default program for that type of file? | 18:44 |
| RawIsWar | cgillogly..... isnt't that under preferences>applications | 18:45 |
| cgillogly | ruffleS, yes... | 18:45 |
| genii | strongarm82: You can use nmblookup to find the IP of a Windows machine or Samba server of a given NetBIOS name. | 18:45 |
| ruffleS | cgillogly, edit / preferences / applications | 18:45 |
| cgillogly | RawIsWar, doesn't list it there, because this would be the first time i open a torrent | 18:46 |
| strongarm82 | genii: how do i do that? | 18:46 |
| Ward1983 | yesterday i made a persistent live bootable external harddrive with unetbootin, it works great but can i make my own user instead of the liveCD user? | 18:46 |
| Ward1983 | also is there a trick to do kernel updates on a persistent live system? | 18:47 |
| genii | strongarm82: eg: You have some windows box on network called "george" then: nmblookup george | 18:47 |
| RawIsWar | cgillogly... OK... is there an option in Deluge to set as default torrent or one in transmission to unset? | 18:47 |
| eds | If i take a hard drive with linux on it and put it in a new machine is there a way to automatically find the new hardware? ( specificaly the Ethernet cards) | 18:47 |
| genii | strongarm82: It will report back the LAN IP of the box who's Windows network name is "george" | 18:47 |
| cgillogly | RawIsWar, not that I can see | 18:47 |
| strongarm82 | genii: thanks - easy enough :) | 18:47 |

| MarvinPA | StrongArm. Huh. Brings back memorys | 18:48 |
| RawIsWar | cgillogly........ there must be somewhere... sorry can't help much further as am an rtorrent user :-) | 18:48 |
| cgillogly | RawIsWar, my work computer seems to have gotten FF to use Deluge as the default without me doing anything but my home computer isn't doing the same | 18:48 |
| cgillogly | RawIsWar, ok | 18:48 |

| Ward1983 | euh... why does audacious just stop outputting sound once every 2 minutes? | 18:57 |
| onetinsoldier | eds: it might be pretty automatic. i think the kernel in ubuntu pretty much has all it modules saved in it's initrd image(initrd.img). | 18:57 |
| cedoku | oui | 18:57 |
| l7 | kasansweat: yeah, you could do that too | 18:57 |

| bazhang | iso50, you want a preinstalled windows install to be planted into a new virtualbox or vmware virtual machine? | 19:03 |
| onetinsoldier | eds: ok, roger. good luck | 19:03 |
| iso50 | bazhang: Yes, right now I'm dual booting, but would like that install of windows to run inside a VM on ubuntu | 19:03 |
| puttblug | I've got an interesting ufw question if someone might oblige me .... host X eth0 192.168.1.133 tun0 10.8.8.94 (the ufw host), trying to set up a ufw forward rule to forward any incoming traffic on 10.8.8.4:12345 -> 192.168.1.5:12345 .... rule tried: ufw allow from 10.8.8.0/24 to 192.168.1.5 port 12345 | 19:04 |
| bazhang | iso50, not sure about that one; I know that a vm can be moved to bare metal, you may wish to investigate in #vbox | 19:04 |
| puttblug | ends up with failure, UFW INPUT BLOCK in syslog. | 19:04 |
| puttblug | unsure why. | 19:04 |
| hwilde | your name is inappropriate | 19:04 |
| korogiannos | iso50: Because windows is a little picky on hardware changes, and a VM is like being on a new machine, I'd just go with a fresh install of windows within the VM | 19:05 |

| hwilde | kurrata, you are already root in the script? then just su <username> | 19:06 |

| hwilde | cris_core, you should start by asking a question | 19:12 |
| Pici | GodKilla-: 9.04 or 8.10? | 19:12 |
| unop | hwilde, though you would need some way of checking whether the $UID is 0 at the beginning of the script - and execute it only if $UID is 0 | 19:13 |

| onetinsoldier | hwilde: ahh, i see now | 19:19 |
| hwilde | onetinsoldier, i'm pretty sure you hav to activate then reboot | 19:20 |

| hendrixski | crackintosh, :-( that's bad news, I hate flash, but we gotta have this one thing done in flash, and we'd have to swap it out every now and then | 19:41 |
| hendrixski | Demios, you can use "su" in ubuntu, it's just not enabled by default because it's bad practice | 19:41 |
| freddy__ | hi - I just destroid my apt-get :-( I ran a dpkg -i sudo dpkg -i nvidia-glx-legacy_71.86.04+2.6.24.14-21.51_i386.deb and now I cannot do anything - no apt-get update because of unfilled dependencies ? | 19:41 |

| onetinsoldier | cris_core: ok, just had to be certain. now why envy wouldn't showing up for you i'm not sure. you have updated the package list(reload), correct? | 19:43 |
| Demios | hendrixski: bad practice on a single user machine, in which the owner does not want to logout to term before being able to do concurrent root/admin stuff? | 19:43 |
| crackintosh | hendrixski: send me a /msg and show me what it is | 19:43 |
| cris_core | Yes | 19:44 |
| Pici | Demios: You don't have to logout to use sudo. | 19:44 |

| Demios | i'm tired of typing sudo befor every command | 19:44 |
| Demios | and having to input my pass word every now and then | 19:44 |
| Pici | Demios: sudo -i will give you an interactive sudo session, akin to using su on other Linux distros. | 19:44 |
| Stormx2 | Demios: sudo -s | 19:44 |
| Demios | i just want to su, get a boatload done and be done with it | 19:44 |

| daysleepr | hello all i'm trying to setup X11 forwarding over SSH... i've enabled it on the sshd server, but when i do `ssh -X (server ip)` or `ssh -Y (server ip)` i just get a normal connection | 19:55 |
| woli | lianimator, also, I have my unfocused windows' titlebar with certain transparency, where do I fix that? | 19:55 |
| daysleepr | do i need to enable it on the client, too? or is there some software used for this interface? | 19:55 |
| Pici | daysleepr: Are you running another x server locally? | 19:56 |
| daysleepr | yes | 19:56 |
| rybz | hi all | 19:57 |

| whyameye | daysleepr: I had a feeling. :-) you can run gnome-terminal from your ssh connection if you prefer that sort of thing. | 19:59 |
| rybz | about des encryption | 19:59 |

| whyameye | daysleepr: what sort of internet connection is between the two machines i.e. local or through the internet? | 20:01 |
| daysleepr | local | 20:01 |
| rybz | how getting the good channel for my problem ? | 20:01 |
| daysleepr | the main issue is the old machine is old... not ubuntu, etc | 20:01 |
| daysleepr | so i'm having a hard time getting VNC or the like compiled on there | 20:02 |
| whyameye | daysleepr: is it gnome? | 20:02 |

| dk | hi. why are symbolic links set to 777 permissions by default? | 20:04 |

| bazhang | daysleepr, but your questions are concerning fedora correct? rpm repos etc? | 20:11 |
| usersam | ech0s7, did you do a fresh install to get fglrx working? | 20:11 |

| ompaul | brooksbp, tell us what the problem is, that way if I know anything about the issue I can help if I don't, well I can't but right now I don't know - you need to ask the channel to see if anyone is an expert in this domain | 20:16 |
| brooksbp | So I SSH'd into my blade running Ubuntu 8.10 and did a "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 20:17 |

| maltepalte | i have mysql installed on a ubuntu machine, with a lot of power - quad xeon cpu:s, and a large raid volume with 15k rpm disks. however, when benchmarking with a simple script that creates a database in mysql, and then creates 1000 tables inside the db, i get extremely poor performance; 5 tables created per second. compare that with my laptop, that gets about 150 tables per Asecond | 20:30 |

| usersam | onetinsoldier, not this then? http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xorg-driver-fglrx | 20:35 |
| unimatrix9 | a few hours ago i installed the fgrlx drivers for an radeon 9200 pro, but the xorg of 8.10 did not support the card, had to downgrade to 8.04 | 20:35 |
| onetinsoldier | usersam: i would download the this file... ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run, make it executable, and then run it while i'm in x-windows, then reboot... that's how i would install it | 20:35 |

| onetinsoldier | usersam: ok. going to look at link now. | 20:35 |

| zenit | JugglerLKR: You know, specific hardware is not always standards-compliant, like the extra software i windows to utilize som of the features. I wouldn't blame it on the distro before knowing a bit more about it. | 21:19 |
| tripps | ubuntu people: once I've painfully set up my ubuntu box to use ugly/restricted repos to play dvds and the like, please do not undo all my work with updates or distro upgrades. kthxbai. | 21:19 |
| simplexio | mabus: no. not easily. if you have ext3 you could try google avout ext3 file recovery | 21:20 |
| grendal_prime | ok i need serious help with gvfs. | 21:20 |
| swpowers | I'm hosted at a VPS so the only upgrade path is actually a complete reinstall. | 21:20 |
| rww | RequinB4: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M, where sda is whatever your harddrive actually is, and 1M is the block size (and you can tinker with it to see what value of bs is fastest) | 21:20 |
| raylu | thesuliban1980: i have no idea. also | 21:20 |

| geekahedron | i cannot install ndiswrapper on 8.10; i'm getting compile errors when trying to 'make' the latest version | 21:21 |
| zenit | JugglerLKR: sure | 21:21 |
| grendal_prime | i need to be able to connect to a website with...well some sort of ssh based protocol. I need to be able to edit web documents with quanta. But for whatever reason in ibex i cannot bet the kio server working with quanta. | 21:21 |
| gnice | Anyone know how to configure a dual-head ati x1300 system at different resolutions using fglrx? | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | geekahedron: Are you sure that your card needs ndiswrapper? | 21:21 |
| grendal_prime | is there a way to use gvfs and have it actually mount to a folder so that i can then edit the file with quanta plus as if it were a local file. | 21:21 |
| Sephi | I'm having some problems running ubuntu (8.10 from LiveCD) in normal mode on my computer. After I try to log in, the screen goes black, the mouse cursor turns into the loading one, and stays stuck without any animation, though the mouse will still move. | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | grendal_prime: I think it does that by default, in ~/.gvfs | 21:22 |
| grendal_prime | Jordan_U: one would think..but i see nothing there. | 21:22 |
| swpowers | Jack_Sparrow: is there no other option than upgrading? I'm hosted on a VPS and the only "upgrade" I can do is a full re-install. | 21:23 |
| Jordan_U | grendal_prime: I just tried "mounting" an iso via "Archive Mounter" and it | 21:23 |
| mabus | simplexio: I have been googling but not much luck | 21:23 |
| mabus | I am using ext3 | 21:23 |
| geekahedron | Jordan_U: it's a belkin f5d7010 pcmcia card, version 4 | 21:23 |
| Jordan_U | grendal_prime: .... and it's showing up in ~/.gvfs | 21:23 |
| Sephi | anyone? | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | geekahedron: Do you know what chipset it uses? | 21:24 |
| geekahedron | Jordan_U: not specifically, how do i tell | 21:25 |
| the_newbie | hello, I am planning to buy an external video card to record video in my computer, which one would you recommend to buy, that is compatible with ubuntu? | 21:26 |
| zenit | JugglerLKR: I double-checked btw, and the last button on top does indeed create both a button press and release event. | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | geekahedron: lspci , and look for a line that looks like your wireless card ( or just pastebin the entire output ) | 21:26 |
| oloapem | siiiiiiiiii | 21:26 |
| oloapem | ciaooooooooooo | 21:26 |
| RequinB4 | rww: thanks, anyway to determine which bs is fastest or just guess? | 21:26 |
| Zooback | i just got ubuntu 8.10 straight from canonical and when i boot from the cd and click install ubuntu, i get a message saying BusyBox v1.10.2 and a command prompt beginning with (initramfs) | 21:26 |
| Turtle2 | xamoo on 64 bit? it wont start | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | grendal_prime: How are you using gvfs? | 21:27 |
| gnice | the_newbie, record what type of video signal (ie: connector) | 21:27 |
| Turtle2 | \xampp | 21:27 |
| kosse | trying to run wow under wine on a nvidia 9600 GT. wow locks up the machine after a minute or so. Anyone know anything about this card and the driver support for it? | 21:27 |
| grendal_prime | well shut my mouth that does work...as ugly and slow as it is it does work.. | 21:27 |
| * Sephi doesn't feel like repeating himself for a third time | 21:27 | |
| rww | RequinB4: There probably is, but I ended up just running 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M, 10M, 100M, etc., for about 20 seconds each and choosing the largest. | 21:27 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Hm i have it and run it ok... | 21:27 |
| grendal_prime | Jordan_U: ive tried that before and it was not working for whatever reason. | 21:27 |
| rww | RequinB4: choosing the fastest ** | 21:27 |
| nbeebo_ | how do i change the amount of desktops in gnome? | 21:28 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: hmmm | 21:28 |
| JugglerLKR | zenit: then you're lucky | 21:28 |
| gnice | kosse: I think it's just a variant of the 8800gts | 21:28 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: You have installed the Nvidia 3D driver? | 21:28 |
| Direc | hi! I'm trying to run batik with tiles@home, but I keep getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/svg/SVGDocument | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | grendal_prime: I'm just that good :) | 21:28 |
| kosse | I've installed the driver using envyng | 21:28 |
| the_newbie | gnice, I need to record a video from an ultrasound device that has a BNC connector as output, but I am planning to buy an adapter from bnc to s-video, rca, svga | 21:28 |
| mindrape | nbeebo_ right click on the panel display on the bottom right corner and choose Preferences then set the # workspaces there by rows/columns | 21:28 |
| geekahedron | Jordan_U: 07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 21:28 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: I'm assuming thats what I need to do | 21:28 |
| RequinB4 | rww: aight, that's basically what i figured. is the syntax exactly 10K, 1M, etc and not 1024 etc | 21:28 |
| rww | nbeebo_: if you have the workspace switcher applet, right-click on it, hit preferences, then change "Number of Workspaces". If you don't... ummm... add it then do that =/ | 21:28 |
| the_newbie | gnice, so basically, any video input is ok | 21:28 |
| rww | RequinB4: i think either works. check the man page ;) | 21:29 |
| nbeebo_ | mindrape, rww thanks | 21:29 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: what version of the driver are you running? | 21:29 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Ok, let me give you a line... | 21:29 |
| bruenig | rape is not funny | 21:29 |
| raylu | last RequinB4 | 21:29 |
| raylu | o.0, ignore that | 21:29 |
| RequinB4 | ok | 21:29 |
| Direc | the only clue seems to be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fop/+bug/268930 | 21:29 |
| gnice | the_newbie, sorry I am not familiar with bnc capture devices | 21:30 |
| Jordan_U | geekahedron: Going to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers should get it to work ( unless you are following a guide that told you to blacklists b43 before installing ndiswrapper ) | 21:30 |
| the_newbie | gnice, but I can use an adapter to convert signals to s-video, svga or rca | 21:30 |
| Zooback | i just got ubuntu 8.10 straight from canonical and when i boot from the cd and click install ubuntu, i get a message saying BusyBox v1.10.2 and a command prompt beginning with (initramfs) can anyone help? | 21:31 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Add SET gxApi "OpenGL" in the Config.wtf file in your wow folder... | 21:31 |
| gnice | the_newbie, I would look at an external canopus box | 21:31 |
| bruenig | busybox woot | 21:31 |
| Jordan_U | Zooback: You might try the alternate ( text based ) install CD | 21:31 |
| jayde_drag0n | whats the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? | 21:32 |
| iuri | hi there! how do i check what is the version of ubuntu i use? | 21:32 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: pretty sure I've done that but let me double check. I've made so many changes... | 21:32 |
| Jordan_U | iuri: lsb_release -a | 21:32 |
| Zooback | alright Jordan_U thanks | 21:32 |
| Jordan_U | Zooback: np | 21:32 |
| the_newbie | is there anyone here that knows of a particular video capture device that works fine with ubuntu? | 21:32 |
| jayde_drag0n | whats the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? | 21:33 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | the_newbie: you mean like a tuner card? the pvr-150 works well | 21:33 |
| chazco | Hi... if I downgrade from 8.10 to 8.04 (to fix wifi regression) will my separate /home still be compatible? | 21:33 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: ah I had it in there but all lower case. is that going to make a difference? | 21:33 |
| Sephi | I just used imgburn to verify my ubuntu 8.10 liveCD, and it says it's an ok disc. | 21:33 |
| mr_polite | still running 8.04 here have teh legacy driver issues | 21:33 |
| the_newbie | FirstAmendmentFa, does it needs any tweaking to make it work with ubuntu, or it works right out the box? | 21:33 |
| jayde_drag0n | whats the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? | 21:34 |
| mr_polite | still running 8.04 here. have the legacy NVIDIA driver issues been resolved for 8.10? | 21:34 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Maybe im not sure... Then i use "wine /blabla/wow/Launcher.exe" | 21:34 |
| RequinB4 | chazco: probably, your config files (the .hidden files in ~) might not apply | 21:34 |
| TecnicoDPC | hello 2 all | 21:34 |
| Sephi | I'm having some problems running ubuntu (8.10 from LiveCD) in normal mode on my computer. After I try to log in, the screen goes black, the mouse cursor turns into the loading one, and stays stuck without any animation, though the mouse will still move. | 21:34 |
| Jordan_U | chazco: With a few exceptions, yes | 21:34 |
| Sephi | I've actually installed ubuntu though, wubi install. | 21:34 |
| geekahedron | Jordan_U: that worked, thanks. i thought the newest version should support it but didn't know where to look | 21:34 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: what version of the nvidia driver are you using | 21:34 |
| gnice | the_newbie, PVR-150 will do nicely. Avoid the HVR cards as they do not have good analog support. | 21:34 |
| Jordan_U | geekahedron: np | 21:35 |
| chazco | RequinB4 / Jordan_U - Hoping stuff like app configs will work mostly. Thanks :) | 21:35 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | the_newbie: right out of the box | 21:35 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Let me check... | 21:35 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | the_newbie: Hauppauge manufactures it | 21:35 |
| the_newbie | FirstAmendmentFa, gnice, thanks for the tip | 21:35 |
| jayde_drag0n | hey if i knew what key words to use to google this i wouldn't need to ask, but i'm a girl in need, so can someone please take 5 seconds and tell me what the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? | 21:35 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | no problem =) | 21:35 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: 177 | 21:35 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: k lemme try this | 21:36 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | Can somebody help me interpret my lspci output? I can't find my wireless card... http://paste.ubuntu.com/86540/ | 21:36 |
| CarlFK | for testing multi-head i edit xorg.conf and init.d/gdm restart - which very often doesn't give me a disply, even though the .conf hasn't changed. - how can I just run X and not bother with a wm? | 21:36 |
| jmyers | can you see my message? | 21:37 |
| CarlFK | yep | 21:37 |
| jayde_drag0n | someone.. anyone..??? please.. 5 seconds | 21:38 |
| Sephi | jayde_drag0n, I'm asking someone on another network | 21:38 |
| jmyers | cool thanks, I'm making an irc client and I'm testing | 21:38 |
| jayde_drag0n | Sephi: thank you!!! :-) | 21:38 |
| Sephi | df -h | 21:38 |
| Sephi | try that | 21:38 |
| Sephi | no wait | 21:38 |
| Sephi | the guy lied | 21:39 |
| RequinB4 | jayde_drag0n Sephi: df -h; sudo fstab -l doesn't seem to show what you want | 21:39 |
| gnice | jade - df -h should work | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jayde_drag0n sudo fdisk -l last letter is L HD start at 0 sda start at 1 | 21:39 |
| RequinB4 | if you dont have a formatted and mounted partition df -h won't show it, the question is how to list the available hard disks even if they are not formatted. | 21:39 |
| Ruby_Fulcrum | Hello. I have been having a heck of a time getting Ubuntu installed. Every single time I've tried it fails the disc integrity check. I've tried burning from two different machines on three different burners and two brands of cd with no luck. Any ideas what might be going on please? | 21:39 |
| gnice | Can anyone suggest a better channel to get fglrx advice? | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RequinB4 gparted | 21:40 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | I have / on a reiserfs partition. is it a bad idea to disable fsck checks at startup? If not, how would this be done? | 21:40 |
| jayde_drag0n | Jack_Sparrow: okay so if it says sdc1 then its hd0,0 sdc2 is hd0,1? or 2? | 21:40 |
| RequinB4 | Jack_Sparrow jayde_drag0n: yeah i'd just suggest gparted | 21:40 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Please let me know how it worked for you, you can pm me if you want to. | 21:40 |
| blublu | hello there | 21:41 |
| RequinB4 | i had this earlier | 21:41 |
| LurkersA | Hey Guys, How would I go about listing the names of attached drives in terms of sdc1, sdc2 etc? | 21:41 |
| ty | sup | 21:41 |
| jayde_drag0n | Jack_Sparrow: i'm using gparted right now.. i have to redo my entire system.. format 2 hard drives, put linux on one.. and windoze on the other.. i'm gunna do win first then ubuntu so grub gets fixed, but i usually have to manually enter the windows lines into grub and it wants the hd codes for those lines.. so was trying to prepare in advance | 21:42 |
| rww | FirstAmendmentFa: I don't know if it's a good idea, but you'd do it by making the sixth (last) field in /etc/fstab 0 for your rFS partition. | 21:42 |
| cidesign | LurkersA: mount | 21:42 |
| CarlFK | ubuntu-desktop - how do I tell it to boot to a login: , not start x? | 21:42 |
| berilio | where can i find gnomes kde application alternativas | 21:42 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | rww: thanks. what sort of complications can arise from doing that? | 21:42 |
| cidesign | LurkersA: will show mounted drives | 21:42 |
| LurkersA | cidesign: Thanks | 21:42 |
| rww | FirstAmendmentFa: umm. your filesystem won't get checked at startup. if there's errors on it, they won't get detected at startup. | 21:43 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | rww: i ask because mine interrupts usplash every time to show me some fsck text output and it's rather annoying | 21:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jayde_drag0n since you are redoing everything, consider a separate /home too | 21:43 |
| ruhaan_jslip | i am looking for a FTP server with a GUI for ubuntu any suggestion? | 21:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !separate | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about separate | 21:43 |
| rww | !ftpd | ruhaan_jslip | 21:43 |

| RequinB4 | jayde_drag0n: the hd(0,0) notation is created by grub, not the file system. | 21:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !home | 21:43 |
| kosse | [Spooky]: same results | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 21:43 |

| blublu | can someone tell me plz how to disable the polling in the networkmanager? | 21:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jayde_drag0n Please see that tutorial.. it is a great idea and will help you in the future | 21:44 |
| blublu | networkmanager should not configure eth0 | 21:44 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: What version of Ubuntu do you use? | 21:44 |

| ruhaan_jslip | is there one i can find in the ubuntu repos? | 21:44 |
| rww | Manther: System > Administration > Software Sources, then uncheck everything under "Installable from CD-ROM/DVD" | 21:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jayde_drag0n just take the space you are allowing for / root and add a partition for /home along with it | 21:45 |
| Manther | rww: Thanks a lot! | 21:45 |
| [Spooky] | kosse: Ok, i installed wine with "sudo apt-get install wine". Maybe you can try it to? | 21:45 |
| blublu | plz its urgent :/ | 21:45 |
| Uplink | how do i cp files? | 21:45 |
| rww | Manther: that error is happening because apt is looking for the CD you used to install Ubuntu which, presumably, is no longer in the CD drive :) | 21:45 |

| FirstAmendmentFa | Jack_Sparrow: my wifi card works... i just don't see it in lspci and i'm wondering what the chipset is | 21:46 |
| FirstAmendmentFa | or did i miss something in the documentation? | 21:47 |
| rww | Manther: ah. Well, if you don't actually want to use it, just uncheck that section, like I said. If you do, I think there's a way of adding CDs from the same place, so maybe removing the existing entries then doing that would help. | 21:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FirstAmendmentFa Find Network Card Chipset: "sudo lshw -C network" in a terminal it will show the networking card/chipset | 21:47 |

| rww | FirstAmendmentFa: is it possible that it's connected to your computer by USB, not PCI? Mine's an onboard wireless chipset but is usb, so I need to use lsusb to see it. | 21:47 |
| Manther | rww: I tend to like keeping my cd-rom tray empty :P | 21:47 |

| Jack_Sparrow | rand0m k3b or brasero | 21:55 |
| rww | !burning | rand0m: personally, I'd say brasero, but here's the full list | 21:55 |

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 21:55 |

| TDT | Hey all. I'm trying to install Ubutu onto a machine, over network USB. I'm running into issues with doing this, and was curious if there was a way, from live cd, tu run ubiquity in such a way that it'll install from the network, instead of from the CD? | 21:59 |
| chiliblue | I managed to wipe mine out doing something | 21:59 |
| Slart | ddubbsmax2: the usual stuff also applies.. shut down services you don't need.. keep the footprint small if possible and so on | 21:59 |
| phineas | I feel stupid, how? | 21:59 |
| rww | chiliblue: mine's not quite virgin, but I haven't messed with any group stuff: uid=1000(robert) gid=1000(robert) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),123(admin),124(sambashare),1000(robert) | 21:59 |

| rand0m | any idea what to do ? | 22:00 |

| chiliblue | psusi: thanks for that | 22:00 |
| rww | rand0m: are your fans spinning up properly? if not, linux might not be detecting them properly | 22:00 |
| ruhaan_jslip | can someone please help me to install pureadmin | 22:00 |
| rand0m | hrmm | 22:01 |
| Slart | rand0m: might also just be something you can configure/setup that isn't done by default/automatically | 22:01 |

| rookeeeeeeeee | Jack_Sparrow, can you tell me how to install safari? | 22:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rookeeeeeeeee nope | 22:10 |
| ikonia | kambiz_: most home routers won't allow ssh access or run an ssh server | 22:11 |
| hischild | kambiz_: you're trying to SSH into a bxo that's on the local network using the external IP from your router? | 22:11 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | isnt it compatible with ubuntu? | 22:11 |
| genii | kambiz_: Then double/triple check that the ports forwarding is really set up properly on the router | 22:11 |
| linuxman410 | there is a walk through on how to install safari on the net | 22:11 |

| onetinsoldier | hi. i am running the ati fglrx driver and would like to check out the compiz window manager. i have seen conflicting descriptions/info on how to enable the Composite Extension. some say to use >Option "Composite" "1"<, other say to use >Option "Composite" "Enable"<. i am wondering which is the correct way, what else i might need to do before trying compiz? and lastly, the best method for starting up the compiz wm. | 22:12 |
| booksbuggy | rookeeeeeeeee you can try installing it through wine | 22:12 |
| rww | rookeeeeeeeee: as you were told yesterday, Safari is for Mac and Windows only. If you want a webkit browser to test webkit compatibility, use epiphany-webkit. If you want Safari, use wine. | 22:12 |

| rww | onetinsoldier: I use fglrx, and I only needed to do System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > Normal to get compiz turned on. For more advanced settings, see !ccsm | 22:13 |

| rookeeeeeeeee | what does it not have to do with ubuntu | 22:14 |
| ikonia | rookeeeeeeeee: it has nothing to do with ubuntu in that your operating system is not stopping you | 22:15 |
| kambiz_ | hischild, i can connect to my local ip via ssh | 22:15 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | how do you know | 22:15 |
| ikonia | rookeeeeeeeee: what is geekpanties ? | 22:15 |
| rookeeeeeeeee | thats a network, i guess you're right, nevermind | 22:15 |
| schmrz | kambiz_: You should route the ssh port of that ssh box to the router's external ip | 22:15 |
| ikonia | rookeeeeeeeee: I can't see a network called that | 22:16 |
| ikonia | rookeeeeeeeee: what is the website/url for it ? | 22:16 |

| kambiz_ | schmrz, installing nmap | 22:18 |
| Danu | Sorry my english is pretty bad | 22:18 |
| schmrz | hsichild: i don't see why. If ssh port is routed to routers ip then he should be able to connect through routers ip. | 22:18 |
| hischild | kambiz_: no, to use the external IP and ssh to your box. | 22:18 |
| eseven73 | rookeeeeeeeee: why would you want to join another #Ubuntu besides this one, its doubtful they have 1300+ users and or as experienced as the folks in here :) | 22:18 |

| hischild | schmrz: you can't ssh from your local pc, to your router, out on the internet and back into your network again. You just can't. | 22:19 |
| Danu | they send me here Mr rww | 22:19 |

| kambiz_ | hischild, yeah i've asked others to do that and it hasn't worked. people can ping the external ip but can't ssh in from outside | 22:19 |
| hischild | kambiz_: then your port forwarding is wrong or not working properly | 22:20 |
| Gnea | !helpme | Danu | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Danu: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 22:20 |

| rww | Iradieh: ln -s FolderB/FileC FileA | 22:28 |
| Iradieh | rww: thanks alot | 22:28 |
| rww | Iradieh: then I think you have to do something with tar to make it preserve symlinks, give me a sec | 22:28 |
| Gnea | Iradieh: If you want to learn linux, you'll need to learn the linux way too. | 22:28 |

| mkm1 | hello, i am using both windows and ubuntu, my problem is i can use my wireless with windows, but can't use it on ubuntu. I found that there is a ndiswrapper software which installs windows inf files to linux understandable. I downloaded the deb file from packges.ubuntu.com but shell gives ndiswrapper utilities not found error. Possibly i am installing package correctly, do you know which... | 22:29 |
| mkm1 | ...packages are used, so i download them from windows and install on ubuntu? | 22:29 |
| ikonia | linuxman410: samba is normally used for sharing services between ubuntu and windows systems | 22:30 |
| rww | Iradieh: actually, nvm, it looks like tar preserves symlinks by default, so you should be good to go with just the ln -s command | 22:30 |

| rww | Evilkiksass2: correct. intrepid doesn't come with "mail" installed. | 22:30 |

| Alpert | I want to Dual Partition my computer | 22:34 |
| rww | onetinsoldier: Huh. I don't have that extension enabled, but Compiz works fine for me. Whatever works for you, I guess :) | 22:34 |
| Gnea | tynar: perhaps you don't have the latest firmware | 22:35 |
| Alpert | I have a Windows XP and I want to dual partition with Ubuntu | 22:35 |
| Fred95100 | have you seen sodasucks.com? | 22:35 |
| onetinsoldier | rww: my appearance visual effects preference was already at 'Normal'. however, i went ahead up upped to 'extra'. but that does not take me into the compiz wm... | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: you can resize partitions with gparted in the lve cd, backup important data before starting just in case | 22:35 |
| Rods_Tiger | Each time I install the flash plugin it doesn't sink in, and each time it requires me to install it again, but it says it already is, but it isn't. Obviously. | 22:35 |
| onetinsoldier | rww i'm stillinthe default metacity wm | 22:35 |
| Alpert | If I do this, will this whipe my computer, causing all of my programs on Windows to delete? | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: no it should be ok, but as is life. Nothing is 100% garunteed | 22:36 |
| Alpert | Ok | 22:36 |
| Alpert | one more question | 22:36 |
| rww | onetinsoldier: you're sure? Like, metacity is showing up in ps -AH and compiz isn't? | 22:36 |
| Alpert | I'm downloading Ubuntu from the Ubuntu website, does that come with GParted? | 22:36 |
| RequinB4 | Alpert: yes | 22:36 |
| rww | Alpert: yes, it's on the LiveCD. | 22:36 |
| greenman | Is it wise for me to get avast. If so im having trouble trying to install it | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: its part of the cd so yes. If you get web access ni the live cd you can install any app you may need | 22:37 |
| Alpert | So, all I do is put it in my CD Drive, and GParted will autostart | 22:37 |
| onetinsoldier | rww: i hear that the compiz wm has a 3d spinning cube... do you have that? | 22:37 |
| ruhaan_jslip | Alpert: its more bandwidth efficeint to get gparted directly | 22:37 |
| kudos | hello people | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: no, the live desktop (running purely in ram) will boot | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: there will be a menu system like all ubuntus and you can run any app you wish (including gparted) | 22:38 |
| rww | onetinsoldier: I could get most of Compiz to work, but not the cube thingie. Maybe if I turned on that extension it would work... | 22:38 |
| Slart | greenman: why did you want to install avast? | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: before undertaking this, i'd research some | 22:38 |
| Alpert | Ok, I just downloaded gparted | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpert: but as I said, backup important data | 22:38 |

| ActionParsnip | aridite: you could forward x from the system you ssh'd to | 22:51 |
| Whippy | i cant paste anything in - the machine is offline :( | 22:51 |

| hischild | ActionParsnip, wouldn't be running on his desktop then, would it ... | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | aridite: x forwarding is enabled by default in openssh-server | 22:51 |

| tvaughn | im having an issue when playing a fullscreen game the computer screen darkens and i have to press a key and since its mostly mouse control i dont hit keys often how can i disable the autosleep function when in fullscreen? | 22:54 |
| hischild | aridite, ssh to your desktop with the -X setting to enable X forwarding, Then do export DISPLAY=":0.0" and every app you run from that point in that session will be run on the desktop. | 22:54 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, it's not VNC i'm worried about, but the network usage would go rather high with it usually. | 22:55 |
| aridite | hischild, ah yes, ingenious - thanks again | 22:55 |

| kindofabuzz | 0 for windows %100 ubuntu =) | 22:56 |
| coddy | :) | 22:56 |
| coddy | yep | 22:56 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, ofcourse. but imagine that you're on a network that is rather low on network, or has to support some streaming video's ... wouldn't it be better to go for the most elegant solution? Anyway, straying offtopic here. | 22:56 |
| idejmcd | haha, kindofbuzz, seriously, any suggestions? | 22:56 |
| coddy | 100% Ubuntu | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: absolutely, I was merely suggesting one solution | 22:57 |
| idejmcd | wow, seriously, i want some sincere help | 22:57 |
| idejmcd | not joles | 22:57 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, a valid suggestion i should add! | 22:57 |
| idejmcd | i go into offtopic for jokes | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: but yours is more elegnt | 22:57 |
| abby | idejmcd, if you have a large enough harddisk just distribute it equally | 22:57 |
| coddy | well i do need wifi | 22:57 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, well you can make zenity pop up on a screen, vnc makes that kinda hard to do. | 22:58 |

| hischild | idejmcd, i'd get the apps on the storage drive, 10gb for windows and ubuntu, and use the rest as storage. | 22:58 |
| abby | idejmcd, ok. Using Windows to play games? | 22:58 |
| Demios | err static network=static address | 22:59 |

| hischild | ActionParsnip, true there. You happen to know if the hosts file comes before or after the DNS? | 22:59 |
| Mulletar | I've got an MBR issue that I'm not sure if the solution I have is a good one | 22:59 |

| idejmcd | ubuntu swap? | 23:00 |
| coddy | swap is good | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: yep, its funny to put something like www.google.com 216.218.248.145 | 23:01 |

| daysleepr | it works... thank's y'all | 23:01 |
| Demios | going to dc and tr again | 23:01 |
| EADG | hmm, did I spell that right? Swop? Swap file? Oh my. | 23:01 |
| idejmcd | coddy: what is swap? | 23:01 |
| coddy | why put your IP | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: thats the ip of rotten.com | 23:01 |
| idejmcd | EADG: is that so you can move files between the 2 OS's? | 23:01 |
| abby | idejmcd, you could just max out the Windows partition and dedicate a folder on it for storage. Use NTFS-3g to write to it from Ubuntu. | 23:01 |
| Mulletar | after Ubuntu install GRUB won't allow me to boot to XP. Heard I should do FIXMBR. I did but Grub is still intact. I've also heard that I need to do both FIXMBR and FIXBOOT. will fix boot solve my issue? | 23:01 |
| coddy | idejmcd I think swap is what it uses to boot | 23:02 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, i do it with their favorite site, a dutch one ... they seriously don't like it when that happens, they all Q.Q that it's broken again. The magic touch always seems to work. | 23:02 |
| hischild | coddy, no. | 23:02 |
| schnauzer | !swap | 23:02 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 23:02 |
| hischild | idejmcd, no | 23:02 |
| fw1 | close | 23:02 |
| EADG | idejmcd: If you run out of memory Ubuntu will temporarly store files on the HDD. | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: its useful for spyware, spybot adds 127.0.0.1 for loads of spyware site names which is nice | 23:02 |
| idejmcd | and you can designate that to the swap? | 23:02 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | hischild, yep | 23:32 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: shall I remove the eth0 entry from interfaces and try again | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: you could | 23:33 |
| phineas | kindofabuzz when I cd to the directory and paste the folder name it say's no directory or file | 23:33 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: sure - how do i set lo to static ip | 23:33 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | hischild, like, all the files SEEM to be intact, but the problem is its just not loading properly | 23:33 |
| jghfhehgg | Hello? | 23:33 |
| jghfhehgg | What does the 'MCE' in LinuxMCE stand for? | 23:33 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, well then it's not there then | 23:33 |
| phineas | hmmm | 23:33 |
| kindofabuzz | it's not trying to trick you =) | 23:33 |
| Spherous | Hey, so I have an iso image that I downloaded, and I'm going to burn it, but everytime I do, it says that its not a valid image. Its iso, and I've done this many times, why isn't it working this time? | 23:33 |
| zaapiel | sookie's mine! | 23:33 |
| zbyszek | hi, how can i install yo frankie? | 23:33 |
| phineas | kindofabuzz do I include the file extension too? | 23:33 |
| zbyszek | is there any deb package? | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: i think with it being loopback i'd assume it would be 127.0.0.1 | 23:33 |
| kupesoft | jghfhehgg: Media Centre Edition -- google would have told you faster ;p | 23:34 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, exactly what are you doing again? you've compiled the source? | 23:34 |
| phineas | no | 23:34 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | spherous, are you using unetbootin or the standard Ubuntu? | 23:34 |
| jghfhehgg | :D Thanks | 23:34 |
| phineas | That's what I need to learn how to do | 23:34 |
| kindofabuzz | !compile | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 23:34 |
| phineas | thank you | 23:34 |
| Spherous | GodfatherofEire1: standard Ubuntu | 23:34 |
| jghfhehgg | Is that like the same as *cough*Windows XP MCE*Cough* | 23:34 |
| akurei | nacht! | 23:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | spherous, for some reason, it only loads a ubuntu derivs and linux mint correctly, so you probably ought to use Unetbootin | 23:35 |
| Whippy | ActoinParsnip: not sure what I do with that address or why weŕe having to go there | 23:36 |
| demonspork | how do I monitor bandwidth usage upstream and downstream in ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| Spherous | GodfatherofEire1: I've never had a problem with that before... I just right click it, hit write to disc and it does, but when I do that now, it says its not a valid image type | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: its a manual config instead of using pretty gui tools | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: could try a reboot | 23:37 |
| kern | i have a grub problem i have duall boot... when i try to load windows.. it says bootmanager is missing or something what to do? | 23:37 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: Iĺl reboot... | 23:37 |
| Spherous | GodfatherofEire1: It could of gotten corrupted when I downloaded it though, I haven't tried to redownload, its 2.19GB so it takes a good 7 hours to redownload -.-" | 23:37 |
| kindofabuzz | demonspork, search around in Synaptic, several choices, can't think of any off hand though | 23:37 |
| bastid_raZor | demonspork; you could install netspeed then add it to your panel | 23:37 |
| kindofabuzz | btop i think is one | 23:37 |
| Sebastianito | hi where are the settings for my graphic card? | 23:37 |
| phineas | kindofabuzz it still say's "No such file or directory" | 23:37 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Ah, wait, never mind, I'm thinking you meant for USB | 23:38 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Sorry | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Sebastianito: what make / model? | 23:38 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, i still don't know what you're trying to do other than compiling something | 23:38 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Spherous, see above | 23:38 |
| jereth | can anyone assit me with a ubuntu /wine/sea3d issue | 23:38 |
| Sebastianito | ActionParsnip: im using eee pc and i just want to check the settings of it, because its running in minimal right now | 23:38 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, you have data on that partition you need to keep? | 23:38 |
| EADG | kindofabuzz: phineas needs to learn how to cd to a dir. | 23:38 |
| kindofabuzz | cd /dir | 23:39 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, from what i've seen so far recovering is quite eehm ... hard | 23:39 |
| Sebastianito | ActionParsnip: i dont know the name of the graphic card | 23:39 |
| phineas | I figured out how to cd | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Sebastianito: run lspci, it will tell you your video card | 23:39 |
| Spherous | GodfatherofEire1: Yeah, I just opened KTorrent and it yelled at me saying it was corrupted and started to redownload it itself D: Hopefully it goes fast | 23:39 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | hischild, yes | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jereth: winehq will give hints how to get your app running | 23:39 |
| phineas | I have the package on my desktop | 23:39 |
| n2diy | does gnome have an app. like Kdevelop? | 23:39 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, cd ~/Desktop | 23:39 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | hischild: I take it that could be a problem? | 23:39 |
| jereth | uh i tried there its not a listed app it runs i just have no map | 23:39 |
| Sebastianito | ActionParsnip: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller | 23:39 |
| === jghfhehgg is now known as BleedingMe | ||
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, not a problem, it would just be easier to recreate it all. However, i'll see if i can find a safe way of fixing it. | 23:40 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | hischild: how hard is "hard"? | 23:40 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: restart did not help. no connections showing in the wired connections gui and connection still appearing disabled. | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Sebastianito: then you'll need to configutre your system for that card, you'll probably find you have the driver installed | 23:40 |
| === BleedingMe is now known as Bleeding_Me | ||
| === Bleeding_Me is now known as Until_It_Sleeps | ||
| phineas | kindofabuzz, maybe if I put sudo in front of "./configure"? | 23:41 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, took me 4 hours to get my xfs drive back up and running, i succeeded at it in the middle of the night ... we'll get it working. | 23:41 |
| Sebastianito | ActionParsnip: then how do i configure? | 23:41 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, no | 23:41 |
| kindofabuzz | no need to | 23:41 |
| kindofabuzz | unless that folder is unzipped to something your user doesn't have permissions | 23:41 |
| kindofabuzz | untarrd*? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Sebastianito: webseach that card and you will get guides on how to set it up. Yuo could even websearch ubuntu on eee pc and get exact guides | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: does sudo /sbin/ifup eth1 work? | 23:42 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, whatever you do, DO NOT mount the drives read/write until we're done and all that. Don't even try to write to them, it can only screw things up. | 23:42 |
| Sebastianito | ActionParsnip: thats what i've done and i installed a configured kernel for my eee pc and when i restarted i got these settings | 23:42 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, what are you on right now? a live cd? | 23:42 |
| phineas | kindofabuzz, I dont know If I have to compile it or install it how can I tell which one I have to do? | 23:42 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: Iĺl try it | 23:42 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, untar the source to your desktop, then cd ~/Desktop/<source dir name>, ./configure, make, sudo make install | 23:42 |
| Spherous | Ugh, shitty, gotta redownload this thing at an average of 8KB/s I really wish I could get faster internet here.. -.-"! | 23:43 |
| jojozhou | hey | 23:43 |
| jojozhou | how do I complete uninstall firefox? | 23:43 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, you have to compile it first before it can install, it's just code | 23:43 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: it reports eth1 already configured | 23:43 |
| kindofabuzz | jojozhou, sudo aptitude purge firefox, then rm -Rf ~/.mozilla | 23:43 |
| georgy_28 | phineas, : what package you try to compile ? | 23:44 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, you have enough space to make a full copy of the entire drive to work on? | 23:44 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, on a different disc ofcourse. | 23:44 |
| phineas | georgy_28, that would be a "lib usb" | 23:44 |
| * Symmetria dances a happy dance as his ubuntu box running a squid rproxy finally gets some load and seems to be handling it well | 23:44 | |
| Symmetria | heh pushing 48 hits a second now | 23:44 |
| phineas | I got it! | 23:44 |
| kindofabuzz | yay! | 23:45 |
| phineas | Thank's guy's | 23:45 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild, I think I might've missed a bit, my wireless cut out on me | 23:45 |
| georgy_28 | great | 23:45 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, you probably did indeed. | 23:45 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, took me 4 hours to get my xfs drive back up and running, i succeeded at it in the middle of the night ... we'll get it working. | 23:45 |
| phineas | Ive been trying to figure this out for 1 over a year | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: ok, does ifconfig eth1 look good? | 23:45 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, whatever you do, DO NOT mount the drives read/write until we're done and all that. Don't even try to write to them, it can only screw things up. | 23:45 |
| Sebastianito | ActionParsnip: u dont know whats wrong? | 23:45 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: checking | 23:45 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, what are you on right now? a live cd? | 23:45 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, you may want to read about checkinstall, you'd run that instead of make install to create a .deb for future use | 23:45 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire1, you have enough space to make a full copy of the entire drive to work on? On a different disc ofcourse. | 23:45 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild: yep, livecd | 23:45 |
| phineas | ok | 23:45 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, see the above. | 23:45 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild, wait, what? on the last bit | 23:46 |
| kindofabuzz | phineas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 23:46 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, you have a second disc that is larger then the disc with the broken partitions? | 23:46 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: yes eth1 looks ok on ifconfig | 23:46 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild: er no | 23:46 |
| phineas | kindofabuzz, you have been very helpful! but I have to go now. | 23:47 |
| phineas | bye everyone | 23:47 |
| phineas | all 1300 of you :p | 23:47 |
| zbyszek | hi | 23:47 |
| zbyszek | error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisfile.so.3: cannot open shared object file | 23:47 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, hmm kk, so even more careful work is required then. Any partitions mounted? | 23:47 |
| zbyszek | what should i do now? | 23:47 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild: nope | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: then you win, yes? | 23:48 |
| [David]WS | Why was Until_It_Sleeps banned? | 23:48 |
| [David]WS | He's asking me in another channel | 23:48 |
| [David]WS | he forgets | 23:48 |
| jrib | [David]WS: tell him to join #ubuntu-ops | 23:48 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, no swap either? | 23:48 |
| [David]WS | {{done}} | 23:49 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild, not even thats mounted | 23:49 |
| GodfatherofEire | thats /dev/sda5 | 23:49 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: sadly no... it still says networking is disabled and no wired connection appears in the box | 23:49 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, you have any place you can dump the files? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: if ifconfig says you have an ip, it doesnt matter what anything else says | 23:50 |
| GodfatherofEire | hischild, as a matter of fact, yes | 23:50 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: you are right - ignoring the gui reports i just tried the browser and it connected fine. | 23:50 |
| GodfatherofEire | Would take a while though | 23:50 |
| n2diy | Anybody here working with PIC microcontrollers with Ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: thanks for your help - where did you learn this stuff? | 23:51 |
| noamsml | Does anyone know why, when compiling something on a 64-bit OS, I'd get "error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set" | 23:51 |
| noamsml | ? | 23:51 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, well, there's a number of options we can go with. We can go ahead and try to set your old partition table back, see if we can rescue individual files or back up a paritition in general. | 23:52 |
| cris_core | The repeat keys function on my computer is to fast so that it triggers to easily, even when I have it set to the longest setting. Is there a way to fix this? | 23:52 |
| === gds_lumut_ is now known as chanthie | ||
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, if you want to check for yourself, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 23:54 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | hischild, sorry, my internet connection is a little... unreliable | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: i like to know where configs are held rather than use guis | 23:54 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire2, np. we've got some options around, you have any preference? --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Whippy: im black belt google-fu and 2nd dan ask.com-chi | 23:54 |
| kindofabuzz | noamsml, you probably have to tell the copiler to use both provessors or soemthing | 23:54 |
| kindofabuzz | processors* | 23:54 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | :O | 23:55 |
| hischild | noamsml, because your CPU doesn't support a 64bit arch. | 23:55 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | hischild, whatever gets my hd workin | 23:55 |
| * Until_It_Sleeps can speak! | 23:55 | |
| noamsml | hischild: I'm running a 64-bit OS | 23:55 |
| noamsml | It seems that editing the makefile and changing ix86 to x86_64 eliminated it | 23:56 |
| hischild | noamsml, the error looks like a kernel error to me | 23:56 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire2, any preferences on it? | 23:56 |
| === dtfora is now known as dtcrshr | ||
| GodfatherofEire2 | hischild: whatever is the least likely to do damage | 23:56 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | So, It says I need "Kubuntu" to install MCE. Is that just an application, or a full blown OS? | 23:56 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | hischild, so basically, not really, provided they mostly work the same | 23:57 |
| stroyan | cris_core: You can also read and set the repeat rate with the xset command. That may allow a larger range for the delay time. | 23:57 |
| cris_core | Hello room. I hope someone can help me. The repeat keys function on my computer is to fast so that it triggers to easily, even when I have it set to the longest setting. Is there a way to fix this? I am running ubuntu 8.10 | 23:57 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | ach, such a quick transition from XP to Ubuntu O_o | 23:57 |
| cris_core | Ok How do you set the xset. I am very new to Ubuntu | 23:57 |
| hischild | GodfatherofEire, what storage device you got to store the files on? | 23:58 |
| stroyan | cris_core: The "long" delay from the "keyboard preferences" dialog is 1.5 seconds. That seems plenty long. | 23:58 |
| cris_core | It does not work for me. At the longest setting it's still about .3 sec or so | 23:58 |
| hischild | type faster? | 23:59 |
| Whippy | ActionParsnip: cool! thanks again - Iĺl post a low pri query on the forums to get the gui bit sorted. | 23:59 |
| Whippy | bye all | 23:59 |
| frozennoodle | anyone know how to make transparent menu bars | 23:59 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | hischild: sorry bout that, 16gig USB | 23:59 |
| stroyan | cris_core: You can start a terminal with "applications accessories terminal" menu item. Then type "xset q" to see the settings. | 23:59 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | But I have 40 gigs of data, so not larger than the Hdd | 23:59 |
