| ubottu | [Mabus-Wrk]: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:40 |

| chadeldridge | ActionParsnip, still says 100 in network-manager, 1000 in ifconfig and speed is still slow (80mb ish) | 00:53 |

| mrfelton | well, no rootkets at least | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | chadeldridge: you could try specifying speed in /etc/network/interfaces file and set it up there | 00:54 |
| J3nal | ActionPasnip: no pidgin when i use ps -A | 00:54 |
| leequarella | how do I uninstall an app that I installed from source or from a binary? | 00:54 |
| mrfelton | but something is screwey... my upstream is faster than my downstream!!! | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | J3nal: thats why i used ; and not && ;) | 00:54 |
| fakereality | What i mean is to take a panel off the edges of the monitor.. how can I do that? | 00:54 |
| demonspork | chadeldridge, that is all you might be able to get out of a 100mb connection, just because it is rated at something doesn't mean that is going to be actual throughput | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | leequarella: sudo sh ./<binary package name> --uninstall | 00:54 |
| Iskundar | hi guys, i have an Audigy card thats not workin too well, I'm only getting superlow volume sound, with super high volume static whenever the OS makes a sound or i play a song, can anyone help me? | 00:54 |
| _woli_ | can i change a file's icon with the terminal? | 00:54 |
| chadeldridge | ActionParsnip, yeah let me just not use network-manager for the eth0 and see if that works, i had an issue with not getting gateway before | 00:54 |
| mrfelton | latest speed test shows 106Kbps up / 420 kbs down | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | leequarella: you should be in the same folder/directory as the binary insaller | 00:55 |
| mrfelton | that is f##ked up | 00:55 |
| chadeldridge | demonspork, yeah i know, but 80mb on a 1000mb connection is slow :-D | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | leequarella: could also be sudo ./<package name> --uninstall | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | chadeldridge: i dont use it. i think its worthless | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | leequarella: then again.. what was the package? | 00:55 |
| nspyr | anyone know what invalid/corrupt kernel would be? | 00:55 |

| eseven73 | !aptoncd | DarkKnight | 00:59 |
| ubottu | DarkKnight: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 00:59 |
| Alca7raz | fwaokda: have you tried wine? | 00:59 |
| cellofellow | DarkKnight: you can try aptoncd, but all the downloaded packages live in /var/cache/apt/archives. | 00:59 |
| Aethelred | nspyr: nope. | 00:59 |
| cellofellow | DarkKnight: aptoncd helps sort them out | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkKnight: try /var/cache/apt | 00:59 |
| eseven73 | DarkKnight: that will make a iso you can put on usb stick or CD | 00:59 |
| fwaokda | Alca7raz, ya as far as I know zune software doesn't work though wine | 00:59 |
| nspyr | Aethelred: did a search for ghostscript? | 01:00 |
| Alca7raz | fwaokda: ah, well i dont do much full emulation so other than that i wouldn't know | 01:00 |

| eseven73 | yep its an .iso DarkKnight you can burn it to CD or USB i believe | 01:01 |
| Aethelred | nspyr: I did, in Synaptic, search for that. Also for Ghostview. | 01:01 |
| Caduceus | nspyr: WOuld you be able to help me out? | 01:01 |
| eseven73 | DarkKnight: i know for a fact you can burn it to CD/DVD anyways | 01:01 |
| J3nal | ActionPasnip: any idea? | 01:01 |
| Aethelred | nspyr: I have ghostscript installed already. | 01:01 |
| DarkOverlord | . | 01:01 |

| DarkKnight | cellofellow; dont we have that facility in linux | 01:02 |
| cellofellow | DarkKnight: oh, yeah, sure, just not with AptOnCD, it makes an ISO image and lets you burn with whatever program you like. | 01:03 |
| DarkKnight | eseven73; can we burn it to an usb....is it possible...and my usb is ntfs.. | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chadeldridge: interfaces should be ok, i would edit resolv.conf to add dns servers | 01:03 |
| chadeldridge | ActionParsnip, they change all day though .. i plug in about 10 places | 01:03 |
| Caduceus | nspyr: okay | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chadeldridge: ah | 01:03 |
| nspyr | anyone ran linux on a ... ... ... emachine? | 01:03 |
| cellofellow | DarkKnight: you could make the ISO, copy it to USB drive, take to other computer, mount ISO image and Synaptic should recognize it as having packages on it. | 01:03 |
| DarkKnight | cellofellow; its not about burning...its about multisession | 01:03 |
| chadeldridge | ActionParsnip, will it dhcp them ? | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chadeldridge: well try it, just to test | 01:04 |

| chadeldridge | ActionParsnip, ahh nm .. it gave up | 01:08 |
| fryguy | df00z: did you create a gpt partition on the block device? | 01:08 |

| fryguy | ubuntu_portugal: just install jre from the repository | 01:39 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: another reason i am wondering is because the sudoers file even has comment lines that show were this entry should go. | 01:40 |

| ActionParsnip | Anacranom: try some boot options | 01:58 |
| fryguy | randy3434: valid nameservers, either ones that you know, opendns, or ones provides by your isp. read the manpage | 01:58 |

| randy3434 | not sure what the number is/ where that came from... so where does that leave me? | 01:59 |
| yeryry | so.. manually inputting nameservers is probably addressing the symptom not the cause.. | 01:59 |
| fryguy | yeryry: not necessarily | 01:59 |
| randy3434 | i have no idea... how do i tell? | 01:59 |
| randy3434 | i guess i should mention that my router works with every other computer that hooks up to it | 02:00 |

| DarkFuzion | whats the command line for copying folter to somewhere | 02:02 |
| fryguy | DarkFuzion: 'cp' | 02:02 |
| CRASH69 | u.u fryguy, so isnt 8GB enought :/ | 02:02 |
| fryguy | CRASH69: it is, but you decided to partition yourself, and you didn't give enough space in some partitions. so repartition and fix your mistake | 02:02 |
| DarkFuzion | cp and i want to copy it to a spicific folder | 02:02 |
| fryguy | DarkFuzion: so then do that. read the manpage for syntax details | 02:03 |
| Anacranom | ActionParsnip, ahhh, ok, thanks, hrm,, its an older mb, ,,,i'll try to run a debug thanks again | 02:03 |
| DarkFuzion | where is that located lol | 02:03 |
| fryguy | DarkFuzion: man cp | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkFuzion: cp is still used. If the last thing you specify is an existing folder, it will be put into that folder, if not a copy of the folder will be made with the new name | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Anacranom: you could try disabling stuff in bios to reduce complication | 02:04 |
| DarkFuzion | i mean i want to take a folder and put inside another folder | 02:04 |
| randy3434 | darkfuzion: to move it, use 'mv' and do 'mv' foldername1/filename foldername2/filename | 02:04 |

| fep | bazhang, how with aptget? | 02:13 |
| gizm0 | bazhang : yeah i try.. | 02:13 |
| Ltl | kevin_405: in FF, edit/preferences/advanced network, choose no proxy | 02:13 |
| fryguy | kajo: it provides a user interface instead of menu driven | 02:13 |
| kajo | ActionParsnip, did you mean reduce used space by not installing fluff? | 02:14 |
| yiafn | hi everyone~ | 02:14 |
| bazhang | fep, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: ok, when you apt-get / aptitude,/ synaptic, you download a deb | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: the deb gets downloaded and put in /var/apt/cache | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: it will stay there FOREVER until you run sudo apt-get clean | 02:14 |
| fep | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: this is good for dialup peeps as if you uninstall and reinstall you will not redownload as the deb is in that folder still | 02:15 |
| fep | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 02:15 |
| fep | i get this errors | 02:15 |
| Ltl | randy3434: sudo dhclient eth0 try that | 02:15 |
| kajo | ActionParsnip, what does this have to do with what you are talking about? Are you telling me not to install cfdisk because I already have fdisk? | 02:15 |
| lat | Please help with an 8.10 server problem! Adding new users to the network does not stick, that is, they are not added. | 02:15 |
| fryguy | fep, so close the other installer that is open | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: if you do a massive install or an upgrade say from hardy to intrepid you will have LOADS of debs just sat there taking up space | 02:15 |
| randy3434 | alright. the command went through. | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: you have both fdisk and cfdisk by default | 02:16 |
| randy3434 | still no internet in ubuntu | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: you can redeem this space taken up by the debs by trunning sudo apt-get clean | 02:16 |
| fep | oh, ok | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | randy3434: is firefox in offline mode? | 02:16 |
| romeo | what does ! sound mean? i'm really sorry im just new to this | 02:17 |
| randy3434 | :) nope. no chat or torrents either | 02:17 |
| kajo | ok... that sounds like good advice, and I'll do it as I'm short on space, but what does this have to do with fdisk? This sounds awfully random. | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: so you may be able to free a considerable lump of space by running the command | 02:17 |
| xNIAx1 | So I'm fairly new to linux. Does anyone have a site where I can begin my learning? | 02:17 |
| kajo | I am trying to set a bootflag on a usbdrive, is that helps any miscommunication... | 02:17 |
| fryguy | kajo: nothing, no idea why he's recommending it to you | 02:17 |
| jimjimhim | Is there a way to remove pulse audio? It will not allow Nexuiz game to work | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: i see | 02:17 |
| jimjimhim | http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=48057&sid=8118fb14daec36c442e07728f238a49a | 02:17 |
| bazhang | !rute | xNIAx1 | 02:17 |
| jimjimhim | can I safely remove it? | 02:17 |
| ubottu | xNIAx1: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: cfdisk will allow you to do that | 02:17 |
| fep | bazhang, it was already the newest version | 02:17 |
| fep | what then? the movieplayers quit when i play something | 02:17 |
| craigbass1976 | lat, I don't understand what you're trying to do. Network users? | 02:18 |
| xNIAx1 | Thank you | 02:18 |
| bazhang | fep, do you also have w32codecs from medibuntu.org ? what format is the movie | 02:18 |
| kajo | ActionParsnip, ahh.... ok, so, that aside.... running sudo fdisk /dev/<device> will set it as the bootable partition? | 02:18 |
| fep | mpeg and mpg | 02:18 |
| craigbass1976 | What's the best way to install flash in hardy? I tried through add/remove, but still can't watch youtube. Tried by clicking on the link to download the latest flash, and got told that I needed libcairo2, which I DO have and it is the newest version. NOW.... When I try again at adobe's site, clicking on the download link does nothing | 02:18 |
| fryguy | craigbass1976: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 02:19 |
| lat | craigbass1976, yes, add new users to the network. | 02:19 |
| kajo | fryguy, but won't he need to upgrade manually to the latest version of flash 10 to have it work with pulseaudio? | 02:19 |
| onats | help, my installation fails, and it's got something to do with ubiquity | 02:19 |
| fryguy | kajo: no | 02:19 |
| onats | !ubiquity | 02:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubiquity | 02:19 |
| craigbass1976 | fryguy, already at the newest version | 02:20 |
| nbeebo | how do i download more fonts? | 02:20 |
| fryguy | craigbass1976: then flash is installed. If it doesn't wory correctly for you, take it up with adobe | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: it will allow you to modify that disk, you can set the bootable partition therin | 02:20 |
| craigbass1976 | fryguy, hehe | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !fonts | nbeebo | 02:20 |
| fryguy | nbeebo: you download them and put them into ~/.fonts/ | 02:20 |
| ubottu | nbeebo: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 02:20 |
| tea | Alguem pode me ajudar? | 02:20 |
| kajo | ActionParsnip, so does it open a gui or something? | 02:20 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, how do u change firefox from offline mode to online mode | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: its a terminal app | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: gparted may be able to do it | 02:21 |
| craigbass1976 | fryguy, have to take it up with my neighbor. She's still sketchy about linux, and I think she'll shoot me if I don't make it run. Worse, she may go back to vista. I'll keep googling | 02:21 |
| DarkFuzion | in root how do i get to my desktop in command line | 02:21 |
| fryguy | worse? | 02:21 |
| fep | bazhang, still just quits | 02:21 |
| kajo | ok, so what command do I now run to make it flagged as the bootable partition? | 02:21 |
| fryguy | DarkFuzion: phrase that differently. I don't know what you mean | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkFuzion: cd ~/Desktop | 02:22 |
| kajo | I have a browser open that suggests "flag" is it, but I'm wary as I don't know my way around fdisk. | 02:22 |
| randy3434 | :( guess i'm just doomed to not have internet | 02:22 |
| DarkFuzion | ahhh thanks | 02:22 |
| bazhang | kevin_405, under the file menu on firefox uncheck box work offline | 02:22 |
| DarkFuzion | i trying to remeber from what i learned the other day | 02:22 |
| kajo | last two @ ActionParsnip | 02:22 |
| bazhang | fep, well not all mpeg work is this via totem or other | 02:22 |
| DarkFuzion | thanks action | 02:22 |
| regeya | wheeee | 02:22 |
| bazhang | regeya, ?? | 02:22 |
| kajo | & FryGuy | 02:22 |
| fep | bazhang, via mplayer and totem, when i use GNOME Mplayer it plays the sound | 02:23 |
| genii | kajo: "a" | 02:23 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, great that works | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: sudo fdisk /dev/<disk name> (eg. /dev/sda) | 02:23 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, so finally i have fwcutter with wpa | 02:23 |
| kajo | ActionParsnip, already ran that. | 02:23 |
| bazhang | fep, what about vlc and did you install the other codecs I told you to | 02:23 |
| bazhang | kevin_405, nice | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kajo: use cursors to move up and down the partitions then use left and right to select bootable | 02:24 |
| genii | kajo: "m" in fdisk cli tells you all the commands | 02:24 |
| regeya | hey, I'll give ubuntu some kudos: at least networkmanager doesn't fizzarkle firefox, as it does in fc10. I live in a really rural area. I set up fc10 to do dialup, started up firefox...and it was in offline mode. apparently it does that until the ethernet connection is configured by dhcp. fortunately networkmanager is easily removed ;-) | 02:24 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, eth0 there is conflict between b43 , b44 and ssb drivers | 02:24 |
| Weems | Im not getting any sound when I play a video. | 02:24 |
| Weems | its a mkv. | 02:24 |
| bazhang | regeya, the people in #ubuntu-offtopic would be interested to hear that | 02:24 |
| fep | i installed the codecs you mention here | 02:24 |
| bazhang | Weems, using vlc? | 02:24 |
| fep | and now i will install vlc too | 02:25 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, u work hard here.. what do u do for a loving | 02:25 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, u work hard here.. what do u do for a living | 02:25 |
| Weems | tried vlc and mplayer both | 02:25 |
| nbeebo | if i only wanna download packages that start with ttf, what do i do? ttf* downloads everything containing it | 02:25 |
| Weems | they dont work | 02:25 |
| craigbass1976 | fryguy, criminy... I'm still in gutsy. I forgot that I didn't upgrade her to hardy yet... | 02:25 |
| kajo | thank you genii, I guess a should work.... I might be back, cross your fingers guys... I'm trying to make a DSL live boot usb stick, this is the last step. | 02:25 |
| bazhang | kevin_405, the advantage to fwcutter is no need to ndis it every time something big like a kernel changes, much more reliable too | 02:25 |
| dr_willis | kajo, the unetbootin tool can do that also. :) | 02:25 |
| kajo | dr_willis, what can it do? make a DSL boot stick? ;P | 02:26 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, but dont know how to resolve the conflict.. if i have b43 then b44 required by eth0 does work | 02:26 |
| Weems | bahang: did you fix it somehow? | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | kajo, yes.. :) | 02:26 |
| nbeebo | how do i download packages that start with ttf? | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | kajo, and many other disrtos as well | 02:26 |
| panfist | what command will list all the drivers that are loaded? | 02:26 |
| fryguy | panfist: lsmod | 02:26 |
| bazhang | kevin_405, not sure about the conflict, which eth card you have? lspci to paste.ubuntu.com if you cant find it | 02:27 |
| bruenig | lsmod doesn't list all of them just modules | 02:27 |
| raylu | fryguy: some drivers may not be kernel modules | 02:27 |
| bruenig | some modules of course may be compiled into | 02:27 |
| fryguy | raylu: example? | 02:27 |
| panfist | thanks fryguy and raylu | 02:27 |
| raylu | fryguy: um...almost all of them *can* be compiled into the kernel | 02:27 |
| bazhang | Weems, which version of ubuntu are you using | 02:27 |
| panfist | so i see some drivers and i want to unload them, how can i unload them and remove them | 02:27 |
| raylu | fryguy: though ubuntu wisely chooses to compile almost all of them as modules instead | 02:27 |
| fryguy | raylu: example of one in ubuntu that is compiled in? | 02:27 |
| kajo | genii, ActionParsnip, I desided to go ahead and print the paritions with "p" before I ran "a"... and I see a really mix-mash group of stuff, 4 partitions or so it looks like. I expected there to be only one, I just wiped this drive a few minutes ago and then extracted an iso's contents to it. | 02:27 |
| kajo | is this normal? | 02:28 |
| raylu | fryguy: i wouldn't know. you could download the linux-image src and use "make makeconfig" to find out, i believe | 02:28 |
| grdnwsl | has anyone else in here had problems printing more than one copy of a document in Intrepid? | 02:28 |
| kajo | dr_willis, I've never heard of such a program... how does it work? | 02:28 |
| fryguy | raylu: do you think that there are any non-trivial drivers compiled into the kernel? | 02:28 |
| raylu | fryguy: probably not, but, again, i'm not sure | 02:28 |
| genii | kajo: This is a hard drive or some usb stick, or what? I wasn't here at the beginning of this saga | 02:29 |
| kajo | genii, usb stick | 02:29 |
| tsrk | I installed xorg and Fluxbox on top of a server installation and when I start up Fluxbox the mouse appears but won't move at all. Any ideas why? | 02:29 |
| raylu | panfist: you don't want to do that | 02:29 |
| Weems | bazhang: 8.10 | 02:29 |
| kajo | genii, trying to make a liveboot dsl stick. | 02:29 |
| panfist | what is the proper way to install drivers in linux? the instructions on the site tell me to just sync with the repo and make, make install, modprobe. then i was running into the trouble and the solution was to remove all old drivers before proceeding | 02:29 |
| kajo | 1gig. | 02:29 |
| genii | kajo: It's unusual but not imposiible for it to have multiple partitions. | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | kajo, works about the same as the usb-boot-disk tool in 8.10 - use the one in 8.10 if you want to make a Ubuntu boot thumbdrvie - it works very well.. | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 02:29 |
| raylu | panfist: what driver? | 02:29 |
| kajo | dr_willis, I've never used higher than the 8.04 I'm on now, nor do I intend to move beyond this LTS until next one comes around. | 02:30 |
| nbeebo | how do i download packages that start with the lettes 'ttf'? | 02:30 |
| panfist | ivtv, v4l-dvb, whatever you want to call it | 02:30 |
| bazhang | Weems, keep in mind not all mkv will work. if you have all the codecs known installed and it still wont run, then it may never run. something to consider | 02:30 |
| panfist | i have a hauppauge hvr-1600 which only has support in the ivtv mailing list and they wont answer questions unless you are using the bleeding edge driver | 02:30 |
| bazhang | nbeebo, which packages | 02:30 |
| kajo | genii, I guess I'll just type in "a" and come back when/if it fails. | 02:30 |
| fep | bazhang, no, i installed all vlc things, it also quits when i start a movie | 02:30 |
| Abdie_26 | ihink | 02:30 |
| nbeebo | bazhang, ttf-fonts | 02:30 |
| panfist | the developer is basically the only one providing support beyond the most basic questions | 02:30 |
| kajo | genii, when I type in "a" it asks what partition I want to flag bootable: 1-4. :? Any ideas? | 02:31 |
| bazhang | fep, just this particular file or all video in your possession | 02:31 |
| fep | all my video | 02:31 |
| raylu | panfist: i have no familiarity with that, sorry. also, i'll be right back, but you'll need to provide the channel with more specific errors | 02:31 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, will do give me a few min i need to reboot to make wlan0 permenent.. | 02:31 |
| NimalaysiaHere | i try to install JDK , but get error when i run "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun". | 02:31 |
| bazhang | nbeebo, apt-cache search or go into synaptic and search then mark for installation | 02:31 |
| NimalaysiaHere | i try to install JDK , but get error when i run "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun". any help ??? | 02:31 |
| genii | kajo: You said you wiped out the other 4 partitions? If so did you yet make at least 1 new one | 02:31 |
| nbeebo | bazhang, oh yeah forgot i can use synaptic, only did by the cli, thanks | 02:31 |
| bazhang | fep, you have compiz running? how much ram and what other apps you have open | 02:32 |
| kajo | genii, I just wiped the drive in general and then reformatted as fat32... | 02:32 |
| fep | hmmm, i am running compiz, yes | 02:32 |
| NimalaysiaHere | i try to install JDK , but get error when i run "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun". anyone can help ??? | 02:32 |
| fryguy | kajo: using fat32 is almost certainly the wrong choice | 02:32 |
| fep | bazhang, i dont think i have too much open | 02:32 |
| genii | kajo: Interesting improvisation | 02:32 |
| bazhang | fep, that is a big culprit for eating up ram, may want to get fusion icon to switch on and off when not watching movies | 02:33 |
| kajo | fryguy, but I want it to be able to be read by windows machines. Why is that a bad choice? | 02:33 |
| bazhang | kajo, use ntfs | 02:33 |
| kajo | fryguy, isn't that a good choice if I want to use Qino's within windows option? | 02:33 |
| panfist | my errors were in the usage of the device driver, the hardware functionality was broken. that's a driver issue. in order to get to the bottom of the driver issue i need to install the drivers cleanly and properly, i think. i just reinstalled ubuntu and i am getting ready to install the driver from scratch, and i want to make sure it goes alright | 02:33 |
| fep | bazhang, fusion icon ? | 02:33 |
| fep | how? | 02:33 |
| kajo | Qemo, or whatever it is... | 02:33 |
| bazhang | fep, it is a applet that lets you turn compiz on and off from your panel | 02:33 |
| panfist | there is an ivtv driver built into the kernel...do i need to do anything to it before i compile and install the new driver? | 02:34 |
| kajo | bazhang, I'm not hugely familiar with the carious kinds of formatting... what are the pros/cons of nfts vs fat32? | 02:34 |
| genii | kajo: You're trying to make a live-boot usb stick which runs linux but is on fat32? | 02:34 |
| fep | bazhang, i understand, but how do i get that switch in my panel? | 02:34 |
| bazhang | kajo, file limit size for the latter | 02:34 |
| kajo | genii, yes. Have I made a grave error? | 02:34 |
| kajo | bazhang, I have only a 1gig stick. | 02:34 |
| fryguy | kajo: use ntfs | 02:34 |
| bazhang | kajo, this is a usb stick? thought it was a shared hdd | 02:34 |
| kajo | bazhang, no, it's a usbstick I'm trying to make into a DSL liveboot. | 02:35 |
| bazhang | kajo, a bootable pen drive with puppy linux? | 02:35 |
| kajo | DSL, not puppy @ bazhang | 02:35 |
| Weems | bahang: I tried another video and the sound didnt work either | 02:35 |
| bazhang | err damn small linux? | 02:35 |
| genii | kajo: This may work with some booting systems like syslinux. But you're better off to use pure ext2/3 for your linux boot partition and a bootloader, then make some fat partition which to share from, or else use samba if the windows box is another machine than the one you're using the stick on | 02:35 |
| Weems | bazhang: It was a /mp4 this time | 02:36 |
| kajo | genii, I am using syslinux. | 02:36 |
| Weems | .mp4* | 02:36 |
| thomasite | Hello. Firefox just froze. I'd been repeatedly trying to close it but to no avail. How can I close it using perhaps another method? Thanks! | 02:36 |
| fryguy | thomasite: launch xkill and use that, or use the kill command | 02:36 |
| kajo | also, I don't fully understand what you just described... sounds like fancy footwork in the partitioning field. @ genii | 02:36 |
| thomasite | So I just type | 02:36 |
| thomasite | xkill on the terminal? or kill (something)? | 02:37 |
| fryguy | thomasite: either or | 02:37 |
| bazhang | Weems, did you set the sound in prefs from autodetect to alsa ; did wine capture your sound card? what else do you have running at the same time : youtube videos? | 02:37 |
| snarkster | has anyone used the beta of timekpr? | 02:37 |
| kajo | fryguy, why does xkill work so well? Random curiousity, xkill never seems to fail me, and is more immediate than any other method. | 02:37 |
| genii | kajo: I think you should probably visit http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ and follow one of the tutorials ont he botom right for whatever kind of live boot or persistent install system you want | 02:37 |
| Weems | bazhang: no youtube videos | 02:37 |
| Weems | I had skype running | 02:37 |
| kajo | genii, I actually have a page open fron pendrivelinux, and a link from that page led me to the tutorial I am now using. | 02:38 |
| fryguy | kajo: xkill sends a different signal to the window | 02:38 |
| bazhang | Weems, then that is the problem most likely | 02:38 |
| kajo | genii, unfortunately, their instructions involve installing from a windows machine. | 02:38 |
| thomasite | It didn't work :( | 02:38 |
| bazhang | skype tends not to play well with others | 02:38 |
| fryguy | thomasite: so then use the kill command, will probably have to sigkill it (-9) | 02:38 |
| kajo | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6390352#post6390352 that is where my current list of sources is. | 02:38 |
| Etherael | is there a way to stop automounting under ~/.gvfs and mount under /mnt instead? annoying to try and access files in mounted filesystems when all mounted filesystems are under a hidden directory. | 02:38 |
| thomasite | I'll type in "sigkill" ? or just "kill" ? there are options to go with the kill command. i'm confused. :( | 02:39 |
| fryguy | Etherael: you shouldn't be manipulating .gvfs manually | 02:39 |
| Weems | bazhang: I closed skpe and it doesnt work. heres the aplay -a | 02:39 |
| Weems | http://www.pastebin.ca/1288265 | 02:39 |
| Weems | skype* | 02:39 |
| Etherael | fryguy, Why not? | 02:39 |
| fryguy | thomasite: use kill, and if that doesn't work, use kill -9. read the manpage | 02:39 |
| genii | kajo: This one for instance http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/11/01/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/ is not done from Windows but from a Linux livecd | 02:39 |
| Etherael | is it a mounted filesystem or is it not? | 02:39 |
| georgeasott_1 | hi. i installed ubuntustudio from synaptic and now i cant login. cant ctrl alt F1 or anything either | 02:39 |
| fryguy | Etherael: it's a virtual filesystem | 02:40 |
| fryguy | (the v in gvfs) | 02:40 |
| grdnwsl | I'm having a problem where I am unable to print more than one copy of a document unless I have the collate option checked in the print dialog. I'm using Intrepid, but did not have this problem under any previous releases of Ubuntu. Has anyone else experienced this issue? | 02:40 |
| Etherael | fryguy, so I should scrap it and just use smbmount / nfs whatever if I actually want to really use it like a real filesystem and .gvfs is just there for pose value? | 02:40 |
| kajo | genii... I feel like I'm just getting more confused as this goes on. Why can't I just use FAT32, since I'm using syslinux as the tutorial I am following on DSL's wiki prescribes? | 02:40 |
| fryguy | Etherael: what exactly are you doing that makes you think you need to be using .gvfs | 02:41 |
| bazhang | kajo, dsl has a channel; why are you asking in #ubuntu | 02:41 |
| kajo | @ genii, fryguy, under the instructions for converting an iso to usb install: "Mount USB drive, with e.g. mount /dev/sdx1 /flash - can be either FAT16 or FAT32" | 02:41 |
| m1dn1ght | Can anyone think what kind of problem would literally make time slow down on my PC? I've posted on the forums if anyone can help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014087 | 02:41 |
| Etherael | fryguy, I have a codebase under windows on a vm that I want to edit files on and keep under RCS with git, so I just use the VM to run IIS and otherwise forget about it, and run jEdit / git on my linux desktop to actually do work. | 02:41 |
| fryguy | kajo: you didn't tell anybody before that you were using a usb drive. so just use it | 02:42 |
| genii | kajo: fat32 to install linux on is a bad idea because linux file ownership and permissions etc cannot get preserved. Also it is not the native filesystem of the operating system. | 02:42 |
| fryguy | Etherael: so use samba | 02:42 |
| kajo | fryguy, I've repeatedly said, from the beginning and throughout, that this was a usbdrive. | 02:42 |
| Etherael | fryguy, it seems work fine when I just cd into the directories under .gvfs and treat it like a real filesystem, like I was able to git init git add git commit and also jedit all my source files. | 02:42 |
| kajo | bazhang, I guess this is the only support channel I've ever used, as I use ubuntu solely. I'm installing it using ubuntu, also, but I can see merit in trying theirs as well... | 02:42 |
| bazhang | kajo, how does this relate to ubuntu | 02:43 |
| Etherael | fryguy, why does "connect to server" use gvfs if it's a better idea to use samba? | 02:43 |
| fryguy | Etherael: why not just run git on windows and remote branch? pretty offtopic but whatever | 02:43 |
| josinalvo | hi there. I *think* i just created a 8.10 live pendrive with persistent mode. Do I need any boot option to actually use persistent mode, or is it just boot, write stuff and shut off ? | 02:43 |
| kajo | bazhang, this is also not related to DSL itself, these are basic linux questions from an ubuntu perspective. The fact that it is DSL is almost irrelevant... it could be any liveboot. | 02:43 |
| Etherael | fryguy, cause then I'd actually have to use windows to do the RCS instead of what I do now which is just run the server in the background and just use it as a server only and otherwise forget about it. | 02:43 |
| fryguy | Etherael: it isn't a better idea. gnome needs a way to dynamically create mounts to display to a user in nautilus, and so it uses a hidden directory called .gvfs for that purpose. | 02:43 |
| magnetron | kajo→ we can't help you with DSL, but i'm sure that the DSL community can | 02:44 |
| mylogic | I'm trying to install the newest version of the JRE and downloading it from their site. Do I want the rpm.bin or just the .bin for my ubuntu box? O.o | 02:44 |
| genii | josinalvo: So long as you have a writable partiton or area with volume name of casper-rw then it should use it automatically to save changes to | 02:44 |
| fryguy | mylogic: just the bin | 02:44 |
| kajo | genii, I guess that sounds like reason enough. I don't know, then, why the wiki on dsl's official site says it should be fat16 or fat32... I think I'll just switch and try unetboot or whatever was stated. I'm just given conflicting information. :\ | 02:44 |
| Etherael | fryguy, So in what sense is an smb filesystem mounted under ~/.gvfs/ via fuse.gvfs different to an smb filesystem mounted using smbmount under /mnt? different drivers? | 02:44 |
| kajo | genii, thanks for your help, also fryguy and Action Parsnip | 02:45 |
| mylogic | fryguy: thanks, what's the difference though? | 02:45 |
| fakereality | Can someone tell me how to fix those UGLY font problem in XMMS (in the menus) ? | 02:45 |
| fakereality | It's totally unreadable | 02:45 |
| fryguy | Etherael: one, it's fuse, two, it's permissions are different, 3 it's non-persistent | 02:45 |
| fryguy | mylogic: rpm is packaged for rpm-based systems | 02:45 |
| fryguy | mylogic: btw you are most likely going to break ubuntu doing what you want to do, but good luck | 02:45 |
| giacomo | hellp | 02:45 |
| mylogic | grrr | 02:45 |
| hero77 | ciao a tutti | 02:45 |
| hero77 | ci siete? | 02:46 |
| josinalvo | genii: should it use this writable area to changes on / (like installing apps) or just for my personal files in /home ? | 02:46 |
| Etherael | fryguy, Non persistent? ... if you make changes to the filesystem while it's mounted under fuse, they persist after unmounting, so I can only assume you mean you have to remount it every reboot or something manually? | 02:46 |
| koshari | fakereality xmms, they still developing that? i thaught everyone had moved on to its fork audacius | 02:46 |
| fryguy | fakereality: xmms is old and very deprecated and hasn't been developed on in years, and uses a very old graphics toolkit. I'd recommend using something else | 02:46 |
| mylogic | fryguy: I need to have atleast the _2 revision and ubuntu just has the _0 build... is there anyway to safely upgrade to at least revision 2? | 02:46 |
| fryguy | Etherael: if you restart gnome it's gone | 02:46 |
| fryguy | Etherael: the mount that is | 02:46 |
| kaiser10123 | is there channel for banshee? | 02:46 |
| fryguy | kaiser10123: probably #banshee | 02:46 |
| Etherael | yeah, that's ok, considering it's a virtual machine being mounted anyway it's not going to even be up permanently vis having a permanent mount. | 02:47 |
| kaiser10123 | that doesnt work | 02:47 |
| fryguy | kaiser10123: or visit their website and check out the community link and see what they have to say | 02:47 |
| Etherael | so really the answer just seems to be "it's being mounted using fuse instead of smbfs, but it works anyway" | 02:47 |
| genii | josinalvo: As I understand, it will save whatever changes are made. How exactly this works, I do not know the mechanics of. But you can install and remove apps, so it seems all filesystem changes and not just local ones | 02:47 |
| dublpaws | kaiser10123 i think it's at irc.gnome, or wherever the gnome folks reside | 02:47 |
| fakereality | fryguy: I want to use it to connect to my shoutcast server. | 02:47 |
| fryguy | Etherael: right. It has to get mounted somewhere so that gnome programs can manipulate the mounted files. Gnome handles the mounting for you | 02:48 |
| giacomo | I would like to ask you how can I reinstall the file "/etc/init.d/laptop-mode" trough apt-get, I've tried with apt-get install --reinstall laptop-mode-tools (this is the package that should contain that file) but has been useless. I've also tried to move away the laptop-mode file somewhere and reinstall the package, but no success. Do I have to unpack the deb manually and replace the file? | 02:48 |
| Etherael | fryguy, OK, so can I tell gnome to mount it somewhere else? | 02:48 |
| fryguy | Etherael: if you want to handle the mounting yourself, use the standard mechanisms (mount, smbmount, fstab, etc) | 02:48 |
| fryguy | Etherael: no idea, i don't use gnome | 02:48 |
| jtaji | fakereality: try audacious instead | 02:48 |
| fryguy | fakereality: there are plenty of music players that will connect to internet streams | 02:48 |
| Etherael | ok, so back to the original question, does anyone know how to change the mount location for remote filesystems in gnome? | 02:48 |
| n8tuser | Etherael-> where is it mounted now? | 02:49 |
| Etherael | ~/.gvfs | 02:49 |
| dublpaws | there's a neat program called sshfs that mounts filesystems over ssh. | 02:49 |
| n8tuser | Etherael-> are you sure? can you post in pastebin your mount points ? | 02:49 |
| Etherael | n8tuser, quite positive, the relevant line is single so I'll just post it here gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/eric/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=eric) | 02:50 |
| fakereality | thank you guys, audacious works just fine and it has nice skin :) | 02:51 |
| n8tuser | Etherael-> thats the contents of your fstab? | 02:51 |
| Etherael | it sucks for access to the filesystems under .gvfs because any program that doesn't display hidden directories by default you have to manually enter the complete path. | 02:51 |
| chairman | hello guys..i have a built in webcam on a HP Pavilion dv6000 aand its not showing a cam picture on Ibex | 02:51 |
| chairman | Any suggestions | 02:51 |
| fryguy | n8tuser: he's not using fstab, he's relying on gnome to dynamically mount things for him using gvfs | 02:51 |
| chairman | it worked ok before | 02:51 |
| nathan_ | how do i get my graphics card to work on ubuntu | 02:51 |
| nathan_ | ? | 02:51 |
| Etherael | n8tuser, that's the output from mount after the gvfs has been already mounted from within gnome using the "connect to server" dialog | 02:51 |
| fryguy | nathan_: you install drivers for it, and optionally change settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:52 |
| n8tuser | let me digest that.. | 02:52 |
| m1dn1ght | Can anyone think what kind of problem would, quite literally, make time slow down on my PC? I've posted on the forums if anyone can help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014087 | 02:52 |
| * giacomo asks for a gentleman who may answer his question | 02:52 | |
| Etherael | when you click "connect to server" in gnome, it gives you a large dialogue that has a bunch of different server options that you want to connect to, it then mounts the remote filesystem you just gave it the details for under .gvfs in your home directory | 02:53 |
| nathan_ | what drivers do i install for it? | 02:53 |
| Etherael | and when you access the bookmark you created again after logging out, it remounts it. | 02:53 |
| Etherael | and so on, and so forth. | 02:53 |
| fryguy | nathan_: nobody knows what video card you have | 02:53 |
| greencookie | how do I stop gdm from starting up automatically? I wanna start up into tty (so that I can remove gdm and gnome desktop) | 02:54 |
| Etherael | greencookie, alt-ctrl-f1 to go to a tty. | 02:54 |
| fryguy | greencookie: just switch to a vty, and then /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 02:54 |
| greencookie | I remember I had to run some command to delete some startup commands from init.d | 02:54 |
| nathan_ | i hane an ATI gforce 5500 | 02:54 |
| greencookie | fryguy: Etherael does this allow me to remove gdm permanently? | 02:54 |
| fryguy | nathan_: that card doesn't exist | 02:54 |
| fryguy | greencookie: sure | 02:54 |
| Etherael | greencookie, yo ucould remove gdm permanently from x just by removing it from the add/remove programs dialogue. | 02:55 |
| * \\`oot is freaking out about his Samba shares not mounting | 02:55 | |
| Etherael | or apt-get remove gdm probably. | 02:55 |
| greencookie | ok ill try.. brb | 02:55 |
| nathan_ | oh sorry its nvidia | 02:55 |
| ninly | i think you need to use tasksel for gdm | 02:55 |
| nathan_ | got 5 comps got mixed up | 02:55 |
| Etherael | .gvfs is fine, everything about the setup is fine, it's just mounting it in a stupid place (hidden directory) in home dir, and I just want to change that. | 02:56 |
| chairman | still doing the same ..no picture from webcam | 02:56 |
| fakereality | I need help again. How can I stream to shoutcast server with audacious? | 02:57 |
| josinalvo | genii: I'm going to create the partition by hand. Does it need to be ext-something ? | 02:57 |
| nathan_ | does anyone know what drivers i need for my graphics card? its nvidia gforce 5500 | 02:58 |
| chairman | i want it o show streaming videos as well what it use to do | 02:58 |
| panfist | i am in the middle of installing v4l-dvb drivers. including with the driver is a script "unload." I am getting an error during this script that modules are in use. how can i cleanly remove all of these drivers so that this unload script gives me no errors: ERROR: Module compat_ioctl32 is in use by cx18 | 02:58 |
| fryguy | nathan_: the nv driver is installed by default and should work, and the binary nvidia driver from restricted modules should work (if it can be used, you should be prompted to use it after you installed) | 02:58 |
| nathan_ | how do you know if its working? | 02:59 |
| fryguy | do you see a desktop? | 02:59 |
| koshari | panfist sudo rmmod <module> | 02:59 |

| giacomo | hey guys looks like there's a bug somewere in the default laptop_mode start script in init.d, it hangs somewhere without reaching the echo (start|stop|status ... ), how can I print the error line? do I have to debug manually? | 03:02 |
| Etherael | n8tuser, that would work, but it won't make it a permanent change, it would just happen while I was in this gnome session, do you by any chance know where gvfs-fuse-daemon actually is started from so I can change that path? | 03:02 |
| koshari | EDinNY 8.1? you man 8.04.1? | 03:02 |

| kajo | Why is Jack_Sparrow telling you "NO"? Did I miss something? .... Alpert, open a terminal and type in "sudo dhclient". It will ask for your password, which you'll have to give. After doing that, if there is any autoconnect, unencrypted wifi around and your wifi card is properly set up, it will seek out and attempt to connect using DHCP to the strongest available network. | 03:14 |

| Ward1983 | im reading this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization , because i wanted to find out how i can do kernel updates on my persistent live system | 03:40 |
| Ward1983 | it states "If you want to customize further the boot process, you can change the livecd kernel, by copying the vmlinuz and initrd you want in place of the ones you find in extract-cd/casper (don't forget to apt-get the right kernel, the one that matches the livecd one, once chrooted into edit)." but what does that mean? | 03:40 |

| Kevin_ | Hi Everyone.. I'm looking for advice. I setup an Ubuntu server w/ Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Wordpress. It is running terribly slow - about 10 seconds to load the Wordpress site. I came in here earlier and was recommended to install a PHP accelerator. I just noticed, though, that the RAM is sticking steady at 80% usage and the CPU is going way up and way down. Is this normal? | 03:42 |
| JWFoxJr | ok, apparently I guess there is no way to blacklist a driver when booting from the livecd. would it be fair to say that I would have to re-cook the livecd image with the modules blacklisted? | 03:42 |
| giacomo | do you know how can I discover which processes use my hd while the system is in idle? I need to reduce the IO in idle as much as possible | 03:42 |
| Kevin_ | It has a Pentium 4 w/ 512Mb RAM | 03:42 |
| greencookie | fryguy: I cant find wicd in the repos..do i have to download and make it ? | 03:42 |
| fryguy | Kevin_: yes it's normal. wordpress is slow | 03:42 |
| fryguy | greencookie: there is a .deb available from their site | 03:42 |
| incadudeF | do you share your connection with others? | 03:43 |
| greencookie | fryguy: for now ill stick with wpa_supplicant..:D | 03:43 |
| Kevin_ | fryguy: It is like slow to the point of unusability. Is it really that common for WP to use that much resources? | 03:43 |
| fryguy | greencookie: you should really look into it. it's just a simple .deb install | 03:43 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: edits to /etc/fstab have immediate effect, correct? | 03:43 |
| fryguy | Kevin_: wordpress is very much a resource hog | 03:43 |
| Tyrath | does anyone know how to get the skype plugin working in bitlbee? | 03:43 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: immediate for future mounts yes. it won't magically change things that have already been mounted | 03:43 |
| Kevin_ | fryguy: What system specs would you recommend to have a speedy site running? | 03:44 |

| Psi-Jack | I've had the same issues with it. | 04:00 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: ok, guess i' | 04:00 |
| fryguy | Psi-Jack: any other filesystem would have the same issue in this situation | 04:00 |
| ttye0 | fryguy: I am under the impression I can extract that single partition out of the /dev/sda dump and work from there. Do you know how to extract it if I know where it starts and ends? | 04:01 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: ok, guess i'm getting a little closer... Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. | 04:01 |
| Psi-Jack | fryguy: I've seen ext3 in a very immutable state, and STILL recover easily. | 04:01 |
| fryguy | ttye0: you put it back onto another block device | 04:01 |
| fryguy | Psi-Jack: it's an entire disk, not a partition. There's no partition table to look at, so there's no way to determine what partitions are in the file until it's copied to a block device again | 04:01 |
| Psi-Jack | You can loopback mount it if it's a raw image file. | 04:02 |
| ttye0 | fryguy: I opened it up in a couple things such as parted and fdisk and it sees the seperate partitions | 04:02 |
| ttye0 | Psi, how exactly do I do that? When I tried it, it kept asking about anm FS type,. but all the partitions are different | 04:02 |
| fryguy | ttye0: right, you need to create a block device for it so that devfs can create the correct block devices for each of the partitions | 04:03 |
| ttye0 | Hm, alright. How do I create a block device? | 04:03 |
| DarkFuzion | ola ola | 04:03 |
| fryguy | ttye0: easiest way is to just connect a new hard drive | 04:03 |
| Psi-Jack | ttye0: From the manpage of mount: mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop3,blocksize=1024 | 04:03 |

| onetinsoldier | keres: so are you still trying? | 04:04 |
| keres | onetinsoldier: force worked | 04:04 |
| Psi-Jack | ttye0: Alternatively you could POSSIBLY mount it through FUSE. | 04:04 |
| fryguy | Psi-Jack: that works for image files, not hard disk dumps (the hard disk dump has multiple partitions, each of which would be a separate mount point, mount can only mount a single filesystem) | 04:04 |

| ivo | hi, i'm trying to setup dual monitor on 8.10 - the lcd on the laptop, and vga out. the card is intel 855. the tv i'm connecting the vga to supports wide screen (16:9), and the lappy monitor is 4:3.`When I try to even use the same resolution both on the monitor and tv, and disable the "mirror", after logout/login, it displays background on both, but places the taskbar on the tv (i have put it... | 04:05 |
| ivo | ...left of the lcd in the setup), and the mouse is locked only on the lapptop, i can not move it on the tv and to check any menu. any idea what i can try? | 04:05 |
| ttye0 | Hm | 04:05 |
| onetinsoldier | keres: here's the message i'm getting now.. Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. | 04:05 |
| ttye0 | Yeh, it's asing the FS type and since it's the whole hd it isn't mounting it | 04:05 |
| ttye0 | Hm | 04:05 |
| keres | onetinsoldier: did you force it? | 04:05 |
| onetinsoldier | keres: nope.. haven't tried or done that yet | 04:06 |
| ttye0 | Sucks to have a dump of a HD and only need one directory off of the whole thing and not be able to get it :) | 04:06 |
| Psi-Jack | ttye0: Yeah, the only way you could mount it without writing it, is actually quite literally write it to a disk raw back the way it was, or somehow split it up into actual filesystems, but that's practically surgical. | 04:06 |
| keres | onetinsoldier: and did you try 'sudo chown YOURUSER:YOURUSER media/windows' | 04:06 |
| onetinsoldier | keres: did you ever get 'that' message? | 04:06 |
| bullgard4 | riz0n: Yes, there is: In ../gnome-panel/panel-logout.c > case PANEL_LOGOUT_DIALOG_SHUTDOWN: delete the "Hibernate" if clause and re-compile. | 04:06 |

| Psi-Jack | ttye0: I never dump the whole HDD, personally. I dump only filesystems, for this very reason. | 04:06 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: anything? | 04:07 |
| josinalvo | genii: formated ext3, just one partition, and it works fine. Thanks | 04:07 |
| Psi-Jack | At least with singular partitions, you can put it back onto a partition or loop-mount it, and use it, and growfs or shrinkfs it to fit the partition proper. | 04:07 |
| keres | onetinsoldier: no. but i did get a longer one when i had all my UIDs and sdb1's commented out. | 04:07 |
| === bruno is now known as Guest29791 | ||
| ttye0 | So are you saying, that if I had a HD that was at least that big that wasn't formatted and I used dd to write it to that drive that it would be in tact and I could then dd the partion out that I want? | 04:07 |

| fryguy | LSbTJzgefXMjGRH_: that is the default behavior | 04:16 |
| giacomo | fryguy, yes but it looks too amazing to me for not being discovered before ... where's the trick? | 04:16 |
| fryguy | giacomo: no trick, you just flash your bios with a linux bootloader, and that's it | 04:17 |
| fryguy | giacomo: assuming you have supported hardware | 04:17 |
| christian | eh hi, i would like to get the desktop efects in xubuntu, can anybody help me? | 04:17 |
| keres | onetinsoldier: which partition are you trying to mount? by default, the home partition is sda1 iirc. A secondary hard drive always ended up like sdb* or sda* here | 04:17 |
| fryguy | christian: #xubuntu | 04:18 |
| giacomo | fryguy, do you know the name for this? | 04:18 |
| fryguy | giacomo: you pasted an article to it... | 04:18 |
| majnoon | !ot | 04:18 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:18 |
| LSbTJzgefXMjGRH_ | thanks fryguy...Its working right now. I guess Im having a long day my brain is completely fried hehe :-) | 04:18 |
| giacomo | fryguy, but it does not talk about flashing bioses | 04:19 |
| ASULutzy | So something I really ought to know the answer to but don't, how I can change the default to metacity instead of compiz on startup? | 04:19 |
| tylerwilliams | so how would i go about making a partition for ubuntu 8.10 on a computer running ubuntu server? | 04:19 |
| ASULutzy | Where is that setting stored? I'm sure I could fiddle with gnome sessions, but | 04:19 |
| FAJALOU | ASULutzy: i would install fusion-icoon it makes things easier | 04:19 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: i think it has something to do with rcS.d and rc6.d | 04:20 |
| fryguy | giacomo: it's mentioned several times on that page... | 04:20 |
| ASULutzy | FAJALOU: I have fusion-icon, and I can very easily switch back and forth just using compiz --replace etc | 04:20 |
| ASULutzy | But I want it to startup using metacity instead of compiz, since compiz doesn't like virtual X screen sizes over a certain size | 04:20 |
| FAJALOU | ASULutzy: ah. | 04:20 |
| giacomo | fryguy, the word "bios" is never mentioned in the article | 04:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | you guys' ever had papa murphy's pizza? | 04:21 |
| ASULutzy | !ot | IndyGunFreak | 04:21 |
| ubottu | IndyGunFreak: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:21 |
| * IndyGunFreak oops... wrong channel... | 04:21 | |
| IndyGunFreak | ASULutzy: take a paxil, i as in the wrong channel | 04:21 |
| Anacranom | lmao | 04:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | but just so you all know, its awesome.. :) | 04:21 |
| === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic | ||
| fryguy | giacomo: the word BIOS is mentioned more than a dozen times on that page | 04:22 |
| ASULutzy | IndyGunFreak: Sorry, I was used to this channel being helpful and staying on topic | 04:22 |
| * Anacranom 's hero is IndyGunFreak | 04:22 | |
| ASULutzy | IndyGunFreak: Guess it's degraded significantly since then :) | 04:22 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: do you think it has something to do with rcS.d | 04:22 |
| FAJALOU | ? | 04:22 |
| Anastasia | how can I compress files and save from Ubuntu while I am using the cd to boot? | 04:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | ASULutzy: and i have no problem w/ that.. other than when its directed at me... | 04:23 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> what is the exact error? | 04:23 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: i dunno because it is during boot up; therefore it's not there. | 04:23 |
| === keres is now known as keres`zZz | ||
| fryguy | Anastasia: use mount to mount a hard drive and write to that | 04:23 |
| christian | i tried connecting to #Xubuntu but i dont know how | 04:23 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> look in your /var/log/messages or syslog | 04:23 |
| === Guest29791 is now known as Bruno | ||
| koshari | Anastasia to a usb drive? | 04:24 |
| giacomo | fryguy, are you ok? the word bios is only present the comments, not in the article | 04:24 |
| === Bruno is now known as Guest14651 | ||
| fryguy | giacomo: i said the page, not the article | 04:24 |
| === Guest14651 is now known as BrunoBB | ||
| Anastasia | fryguy, I only have this hard drive, not any external one, can I write on this one_ any change I try to do it says I am not owner and cannot create any .zip .rar or even .tar | 04:24 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: all it says is 'configuring network interfaces' and then lags. And then after that it says after i kill it it says something along the lines of terminated in rcS.d and rc6.d | 04:25 |
| Anastasia | koshari, to the same hard drive, internal | 04:25 |
| ASULutzy | So still the question, does anyone know how to make metacity the default instead of compiz? I'm sure I could add something to gnome sessions via system->preferences->sessions, but I'd really like to just know where the default config is stored | 04:25 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: what is the filesystem on that hard drive? | 04:25 |
| koshari | Anastasia you will need to use sudo | 04:25 |
| giacomo | the point is: without changing the bios they have archived a 5 seconds boot from grub to X | 04:25 |
| fryguy | ASULutzy: under the appearance menu, disable 3d effects | 04:25 |
| \\`oot | Hi folks - I just solved (with the help of genii) a HUGE problem with Samba/Lanman connections... is there a wiki I can post the resolution to? I Googled but didn't find anything | 04:25 |
| zhujianhua | hello,everyone | 04:25 |
| nbeebo | when u got gnome-panel non fullscreen, u get those ugly "grab-buttons" on each side, is there a way to remove those? | 04:25 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> there are several scripts in rcS.d/ look for network related | 04:25 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: ok what should i do with it however... | 04:25 |
| giacomo | if it's possible to make it even faster with a linux bios that's another point, but's not the linked article | 04:25 |
| onetinsoldier | hi. i saw a little while ago that someone had an issue dealing with ~/.gvfs. I am hoping for some help with it if possible myself. it is automounting my windows drive and i woud like to get rid of that behavior if possible. anyone know how? | 04:25 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: i am inside it right now. | 04:25 |
| koshari | Anastasia also remember to unmount the drive before rebootong | 04:26 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, what do you mean_ | 04:26 |
| Neff | do you have to use gparted before the installer partitioner will see your drives running off the install CD? | 04:26 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: the hard drive you are trying to write to, what filesystem is it | 04:26 |
| ASULutzy | fryguy: Not what I want, I know how to disable it... Anyway I found it | 04:26 |
| fryguy | Neff: no | 04:26 |
| christian | how can i enter the Xubuntu channel | 04:26 |
| ASULutzy | For anyone who is curious, you can add configuration editor to the gnome menu in system tools | 04:26 |
| shavin | what can i install to record you tube videos on ubuntu? | 04:26 |
| ASULutzy | and it's editable through there | 04:26 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, home | 04:26 |
| ASULutzy | shavin: youtube-dl | 04:26 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: .. no what filesystem is it? | 04:26 |
| Neff | fryguy: why can gparted see my partitions but the installer partitioner can't? | 04:26 |
| ASULutzy | shavin: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl | 04:26 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: HFS+? NTFS? Fat32? ext2? ext3? ufs? zfs? | 04:27 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, I am afraid I dont understand your question | 04:27 |
| sfuentes | i'm having trouble executing a command under another user. su www -c "echo hello" doesn't work under www but it does work with a different user. any reason why this might happen? | 04:27 |
| Anastasia | ah! | 04:27 |
| fryguy | Neff: no idea | 04:27 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, I have not idea | 04:27 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: then we can't help you | 04:27 |
| shavin | ASULutzy: is this a package ? can this be installed from synaptic? | 04:27 |
| Neff | fryguy: would it be because they are all NTFS? | 04:27 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, how can I find out_ | 04:27 |

| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> which one? | 04:28 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: all it says is 'configuring network interfaces' and then lags. And then after that it says after i kill it it says something along the lines of terminated in rcS.d and rc6.d | 04:28 |

| fryguy | !work | xxuriahxx | 04:36 |

| fryguy | Anastasia: df doesn't tell you filesystems. mount does | 04:37 |
| fryguy | Ryno: if you try hard enough, yes | 04:38 |
| Ryno | fryguy: try i will | 04:38 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> i could not think of any that may caused it, i have experienced such but i can attribute it to a wpa_supplicant not working | 04:38 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: i do use wpa... | 04:38 |
| Anacranom | df gives me this header output: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on | 04:39 |

| FAJALOU | n8tuser: but i also use wicd. | 04:39 |

| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> i am not on 8.10 | 04:40 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: ah on 8.04? | 04:40 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> am on 7.10 | 04:40 |

| FAJALOU | n8tuser: o wow nice. | 04:41 |

| Zooback | i've been running ubuntu for years but when i tried making a new install from a shipit live cd, i keep getting a BusyBox error message with initramfs command prompt. how come all of a sudden i can't boot into the graphic installer while i can do this with other linux distros? | 04:44 |
| Anastasia | Anacranom and fryguy Says> Type ext3 | 04:44 |
| bullgard4 | [Solved] | 04:44 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: ok, so then you need to be root to write to that filesystem, since the user permissions won't match up from your actual user | 04:45 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, and how do I do that_ | 04:45 |
| Roy_M | I know I have asked this once before, but, why is it that sudo does not seem to give me real root priveliges sometimes. For example, I am trying to: "echo 335544 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default" and I am getting permissions errors. | 04:45 |
| fryguy | !root | Anastasia | 04:45 |
| ubottu | Anastasia: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:45 |
| fryguy | Roy_M: the bash redirection counts as a separate command, that runs outside of the scope of sudo, if you want to use sudo to echo stuff, use tee | 04:46 |
| eldrood | helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that program?? | 04:46 |
| zetheroo | how do I know if lircd is running or not? | 04:46 |
| Anastasia | ubottu, I know the root password, the thing is I dont know how to use it so I can modify and access the files in my hard drive | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:46 |
| fryguy | zetheroo: the ps command will tell you | 04:46 |
| zetheroo | fryguy: ps command? | 04:46 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: become root and edit the files on the hard drive | 04:46 |

| Anastasia | fryguy, how_ I already tried sudo nautilus, but is the same... | 04:47 |
| Anastasia | fryguy, sudo nautilus wouldnt even show me the files of the hard drive | 04:47 |
| genii | Gah. More sudo <some-graphical-app> | 04:48 |
| Anacranom | Anastasia, do you have ubuntu installed or are you solely on the live cd? | 04:48 |
| fryguy | Anastasia: try gksu | 04:48 |
| Anastasia | Anacranom, Ubuntu is supposed to be installed, but after the upgrade it wouldnt work, thats why I had to go on live cd | 04:48 |
| genii | Anastasia: Since you used sudo now to run nautilus, you probably will have some problems running it as the regular user due to screwy permissions after | 04:49 |

| Oxidize | Anyone able to suggest why ive rebooted and lost sound and have the huge speaker icon flashing on my desktop ? | 04:52 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: ....-,- what? i just renamed /etc/init.d/networking | 04:52 |
| FAJALOU | and it worked fine... | 04:52 |
| fryguy | Oxidize: you probably installed a new kernel version and need to reinstall your sound driver for the new kernel | 04:52 |

| keepsake | Hey, I'm trying to update amsn, but "sudo apt-get upgrade amsn" does not detect the 0.97.2 update (I'm using 0.97). I cannot build from source because it cannot find my tk build dir, though it's installed. Can someone help me install it? | 04:53 |
| gizmo | now im processing install ubuntu | 04:53 |
| Anastasia | Anacranom, that I would like to save# | 04:53 |
| gizmo | its take 3 hrs to install..right? | 04:53 |
| lunakrist_ | carandraug: Good point... I'll check | 04:53 |
| Oxidize | fryguy considerd that but it was working bef,r also tryed running live CD and sound works but same thing with sound icon suddently flashing on dekstop | 04:53 |
| Anastasia | I am sorry, cannot find the question mark | 04:53 |
| Oxidize | desktop* | 04:53 |
| Anacranom | Anastasia, yes | 04:53 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: is that all that i needed to do?? | 04:53 |

| odonil | When installing softwares with the synaptic manager, what is the default installation path? | 04:53 |
| keepsake | fryguy: Yup. | 04:53 |
| gizmo | Anastasia : is that right 3 hrs install the ubuntu..? | 04:53 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: but will it affect it if i have to plug in??? | 04:54 |
| fryguy | Oxidize: like i said, it's because of an updated kernel. a driver can only be linked to a specific kernel. when you upgrade kernel, you have to go and upgrade drivers too | 04:54 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> plugin what? | 04:54 |
| Anastasia | gizmo, about that time, yes | 04:54 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: for ethernet. sorry | 04:54 |
| Oxidize | And that would still effect a live CD boot that was fine previously? | 04:54 |
| gizmo | Anastasia : am i lost everything in my computer after install ubuntu? | 04:54 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> it might, dont know, whats the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces now? | 04:54 |

| the_newbie | I know you are genius, and you may be able to answer my fool question... Is it possible to encrypt emails with gmail using PGP? what about live mail? hotmail? | 04:56 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: what about wicd? | 04:56 |
| keepsake | fryguy: I have, it's not showing the 0.97.2 update | 04:56 |
| fryguy | keepsake: make sure your repositories are configured correctly | 04:56 |
| Anastasia | gizmo, backup means to save all your information somewhere else so you wouldnt lose it eventually | 04:56 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> how it works with the interfaces file | 04:56 |
| keepsake | fryguy: It's from the backports repos, and afaik it's enabled | 04:57 |
| bullgard4 | odonil: You can find that out yourself: Using Synaptic, download a certain package. Do 'sudo updatedb'. Do 'locate <packagename>'.> | 04:57 |
| gizmo | Anastasia : mean like in my pendrive.. | 04:57 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: oh... well it is seemingly working fine w/ no networking file.. | 04:57 |
| Anastasia | gizmo, specially if you are installing for first time the best you can do is to save all your info | 04:57 |

| zetheroo | fryguy: how do I get it to run? | 04:58 |
| odonil | bullguard4: I am actually trying to installing netbeans 6. I want all the installation in the same directory as that provided by unbuntu. | 04:58 |
| fryguy | zetheroo: see if there is a /etc/init.d/ script for it | 04:58 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: going from what to what? right now i am on the internet with wifi on that computer | 04:58 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> init levels, try to go to single and then back to 2-5 | 04:59 |
| zetheroo | fryguy: yes its there ... lirc | 04:59 |
| tylerwilliams | fryguy: i have the ubuntu installation running, but all it is is a greay window that says "install" at the top | 04:59 |
| FAJALOU | n8tuser: why would i need more than one level of that? i changed the name in init.d .... | 04:59 |
| the_newbie | hello, is it possible to encrypt emails with PGP using hotmail? | 04:59 |
| fryguy | tylerwilliams: why are you telling me? | 04:59 |
| fryguy | the_newbie: wrong channel | 04:59 |
| the_newbie | fryguy, where can I ask? | 05:00 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> its how ubuntu simulates sys v unix, the init levels | 05:00 |
| fryguy | the_newbie: no idea. This channel provides support for the ubuntu operating system | 05:00 |
| keepsake | fryguy: ha, problem solved, just downloaded relevant .deb files from packages.ubuntu.com and that did it, thanks =) | 05:00 |

| darnell | any idea on speech recognition and handwriting for ubuntu? | 05:00 |
| Anacranom | Anastasia, i'd run gparted and in i think you said sda1 create a 65g partition named whatever, to ext3, or fat32, and mount as /bak and do a cp /media/disk/home/<yourusernamehere>/where/your/musicis/ /bak and then reinstall 8.04 an leave the 65g /back partition alone until you could re-mount it | 05:01 |
| fryguy | Ward1983: it doesn't matter, it's not an ubuntu problem | 05:01 |
| qcjn | hi, i've changed /boot/grub/dontremember.lst "something=all" to "something=1"..but i still see all the version. Oh yes i've updated | 05:01 |
| fryguy | Ward1983: if you would have the same exact question if you were running fedora, debian, windows, freebsd, or whatever, then it's probably not appropriate for this channel | 05:01 |
| n8tuser | FAJALOU-> am not here to explain to you why you need to go to different init levels, actually its been replaced by events.. understanding how the old system works.. helps to troubleshoot | 05:01 |

| FAJALOU | n8tuser: well its working now; so we wil see. | 05:02 |
| rgov | Any suggestions for a Ubuntu-compatible PDA? | 05:02 |
| fryguy | odonil: depends on the package, and packages will be spread out across various locations on the system | 05:02 |
| Ward1983 | fryguy, he said how to use pgp key on hotmail, you can use mailclients on hotmail aswell... | 05:02 |
| Ward1983 | but ok | 05:02 |
| Anacranom | Anastasia, but would like you to explore fryguy or genii suggestion first, that is last ditch effort | 05:02 |
| fryguy | odonil: there is no "default" | 05:02 |
| darnell | any idea on speech recognition and handwriting for ubuntu? | 05:02 |
| luddite | how do you install a ttf font in ubuntu? | 05:03 |
| fryguy | Ward1983: and those mailclients all have obvious implementations of pgp. And even still, that's not an ubuntu problem, it's an application problem, so it's not appropriate for this channel | 05:03 |
| Intrepid_ | irc.rizon.net | 05:03 |
| fryguy | luddite: put it in ~/.fonts/ | 05:03 |
| roxazer | fryguy: couse i running it from a 4GB usb drive, and the packages is taking like ~3GB of the space | 05:03 |
| lunakrist | carandruag: I had in fact edited the wrong section of menu.lst... d'oh | 05:03 |

| luddite | thanks | 05:03 |
| odonil | When i am installing some third party software using synaptic package manager what is fryguy: the default installation directory ? | 05:03 |
| Ward1983 | fryguy, so if someone asks a grub question its not ubuntu related either, as that is used by other distros aswell | 05:03 |

I'm using a 2.6.27 kernel and the madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 modules (which supposedly support my chipset). I'm wondering if there is a conflict between built-in kernel modules and the madwifi ones I installed myself. the result of `lsmod | grep ath` is here: http://paste.debian.net/23 | 05:28 |
| formode | srizz, Are you certain? If I loose my linux partition I'll loose alot of important data. :( | 05:29 |

| formode | fryguy, would there be a way for her to put the .deb of it somewhere on her computer so she could get it when she was on ubuntu? Last I recall, Ubuntu does not recognize the mac filesystem. | 06:08 |
| GodfatherofEire | OK, still no luck with the sound | 06:08 |
| psypher246 | dongs: um ok, sure | 06:08 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | thanks _2 | 06:08 |
| fryguy | formode: ubuntu works with HFS+ fine from what i remember | 06:09 |
| b3z3rk3r | keepsake, thx.. will give it a go now.. nautilus required? | 06:09 |
| formode | dongs, less rude? | 06:09 |
| psypher246 | dell m6300 laptop is so last century | 06:09 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | !Login control panel | 06:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:09 |
| _2 | !ops dongs has been asked several times to use proper language in here. | 06:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:09 |
| fryguy | formode: read does at least, unsure about write | 06:09 |
| formode | fryguy, it wasn't working 3 months ago when I checked. :-/ | 06:09 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | :( | 06:09 |
| formode | fryguy, Hm, ok, I'll try that. | 06:09 |
| Lou_ | Does Nautilus leave error messages in a file someplace when it crashes? | 06:09 |
| keepsake | b3z3rk3r: Nope, just gedit or something of the like. | 06:09 |
| keepsake | Lou_: Check dmesg | 06:09 |
| Slart | Lou_: the syslog perhaps | 06:09 |
| formode | fryguy, Thanks. | 06:09 |
| dongs | psypher246: i install windows on hundreds of dell laptops from this and last century and have zero problems wiht them. | 06:09 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | how do I get to this 'login control panel'? | 06:09 |
| psypher246 | formode: i'm curious though, how do you get udev to make a device eth0 or eth1 | 06:09 |
| dongs | psypher246: i guess maybe thats just you in this case. | 06:10 |
| psypher246 | must be | 06:10 |
| b3z3rk3r | keepsake, nice, thx.. if i dont come back it worked :P thanks again | 06:10 |
| fryguy | dongs: so then why not just continue using windows? | 06:10 |
| Slart | dongs, psypher246: can we keep it on topic? there is an offtopic channel for this kind of chatter | 06:10 |
| keepsake | b3z3rk3r: Good luck! =) | 06:10 |
| onetinsoldier | dongs: windows has about 1/1000 the flexibility and configurability of linux | 06:10 |
| Lou_ | keepsake and Slart, thanks. I check there. | 06:10 |
| psypher246 | Slart: sorry | 06:10 |
| keepsake | onetinsoldier: True, but I do miss a lot of programs in Windows =P | 06:10 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | more viruses are made for windows in a month than exist in total for linux | 06:10 |
| formode | psypher246, I frankly have no idea. If I was going on a wing, I've play with /dev... You could also check the wiki. | 06:10 |
| dongs | onetinsoldier: thats fine. i dont need "flexibility", i need usability. right now, im wasting time because it decided to arbitrarily rename a network interface without asking the user. | 06:10 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | how do I get to this 'login control panel'? | 06:11 |
| psypher246 | formode: yeah i had the issue with a server, in the end, who cares if it's eth0 or 1 ruight? | 06:11 |
| formode | psypher246, Apparently you? :-P | 06:11 |
| Slart | Until_It_Sleeps: it isn't in system, administration ? | 06:11 |
| dongs | and time is more important than flexibility or configurability or hwatever the fuck, because time is money, unless you're in your parents basement, that is. | 06:11 |
| psypher246 | nah i'm just curious, dongs is the one who is freaked out by it | 06:11 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ok, anybody else know how/what is going on with my systems sound at the moment, cause I havent got a bloody clue | 06:11 |

| formode | dongs, Maybe you should take note of the IRC rules? | 06:11 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | dongs, enjoy your windows viruses | 06:12 |
| onetinsoldier | keepsake and dongs: i don't know why, from my message and your two guys responses.. i am having a major de ja vu moment | 06:12 |
| DBO | something wrong _2? | 06:12 |
| fryguy | dongs: so then go install windows | 06:12 |
| _2 | ops, dongs has been asked several times to use proper language in here. | 06:12 |
| formode | psypher246, is that your problem? | 06:12 |
| keepsake | onetinsoldier: haha | 06:12 |
| psypher246 | yup | 06:12 |
| dongs | fryguy: i do, and i have no problems with it. | 06:12 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | slart: Um, I see a "login window" but not a 'login contol panel', unless thats supposed to be it... | 06:12 |
| dongs | fryguy: do you see me asking ridiculous questions in #windows? | 06:12 |
| dongs | fryguy: i'm here because shit doesnt work. | 06:12 |
| formode | until_it_sleeps, that's the one! | 06:12 |
| dongs | this is pretty simple and basic. | 06:12 |
| DBO | dongs, please watch your language | 06:12 |
| Slart | Until_It_Sleeps: that might be it.. they change names every now and then =) | 06:12 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | :D | 06:12 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | dongs, calm down, you're obviously not smart enough to configure ubuntu so use a microsoft product or pay someone | 06:13 |
| formode | pyspher246, Hm, did you try compiling it from a nightly build? | 06:13 |
| dongs | everyone in here so far has told me to 'watch my language', 'just ask and sit and wait', 'be more polite', yadda yadda, but has so far not produced a single useful comment regarding my actual problem. | 06:13 |
| dongs | MrWizeGuy1983: i will paypal you $20 if you fix my problem in the next 5 minuts | 06:13 |
| DBO | dongs, maybe I can help, can you restate your problem? | 06:13 |
| formode | dongs, so go buy support. None of us here "have" to help you. :-P | 06:13 |
| keepsake | dongs, if we knew how to fix it, we'd have said something. We aren't the developers of the system. | 06:13 |
| psypher246 | dongs, here is why i use linux. stuff i cannot do in windows i can do easily with linux, no virusses, generall more stable and it's just better in everry way. everyday i find a new reason to rather stick with linux | 06:13 |
| dongs | MrWizeGuy1983: the problem is, you're too fucking chicken to even put your actions where your mouth is. | 06:13 |
| fryguy | dongs: so why are you here. If you are having unresolvable problems with ubuntu, and you don't want to take the time to investigate a solution, go run windows and enjoy your machine | 06:13 |
| Slart | dongs: we're only users, we are not employed by canonical.. if you want someone to yell at you can pay them for that service | 06:13 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | dongs, i meant pay someone who lives there, and i'd recommend ndispluginwrapper | 06:13 |
| dongs | MrWizeGuy1983: you dont even know what my problem is, and you're already recommending some ridiculous unrelated solution. | 06:14 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | ..... | 06:14 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | it lets you use windows drivers for wireless cards... | 06:14 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | it's directly related to your issue | 06:14 |
| formode | dongs, you're not getting help because your insulting half the channel, just so you know. | 06:14 |
| fryguy | MrWizeGuy1983: he doesn't have a wireless card | 06:14 |
| dongs | MrWizeGuy1983: this is not a wirless card. | 06:14 |
| dongs | and hte card is working just fine... at eth1 | 06:15 |
| GodfatherofEire | OK, I could REALLY use some help with gettin the sound working. Cause I havent a clue what is going on with it | 06:15 |
| dongs | right after udev renames it for no reason. | 06:15 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, When did it stop working? | 06:15 |
| \\`oot | Hi - is shockwave (.swf) support native in 8.10? | 06:15 |
| GodfatherofEire | formode, bout an hour ago | 06:15 |
| psypher246 | dongs: a really simple google search would also help | 06:15 |
| onetinsoldier | dongs: i was busy for a while trying to figure out my own stuff here. i suppose the obvious has been covered... like cat /etc/network/interfaces | 06:15 |
| dongs | psypher246: been there done that. | 06:15 |
| Slart | \\`oot: 32-bit flash and soon 64 bit flash are available in linux | 06:15 |
| GodfatherofEire | Make that an hour and a half | 06:15 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | \\`oot, kinda, firefox has the default plugin and installs flash for you when prompted | 06:15 |
| dongs | onetinsoldier: yes, obviously. | 06:15 |

| onetinsoldier | dongs: k | 06:16 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, would you try (Close all sound using apps first) please use "sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload" | 06:16 |
| Slart | \\`oot: there aren't to many flash content creation tools available though | 06:16 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | The Login prefrences window does not see my theme archive | 06:16 |
| \\`oot | keepsake: OK... I've hit a page with a bunch of .swf file, but when I click them FireFox wants to download 'em? | 06:16 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | file extension is .bz2 | 06:16 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | \\`oot, go to youtube and it will ask you to install flash | 06:16 |
| keepsake | \\`oot: Weird, do you have the plug-in installed? Check about:plugins. | 06:16 |
| GodfatherofEire | formode: no luck | 06:17 |
| cplab2-58 | hey can anyone tell me how to solve this http://paste.ubuntu.com/87576/ | 06:17 |
| \\`oot | Shockwave flash is installed, yes | 06:17 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, have you restarted? | 06:17 |
| GodfatherofEire | formode: yep | 06:17 |
| formode | formode, have you possibly changed something in your bios/administration or anything? | 06:17 |
| transporter | hi i just found a few commands that could solve my problem could somebody help me in how should i type them in becoz i get a very unusual output with a lot of options | 06:17 |
| === Wick|away is now known as Wickk | ||
| formode | godfatherofeire, have you possibly changed something in your bios/administration or anything? | 06:18 |
| keepsake | cplab2-58: You can't use apt-get to install if you can't connect to the web servers. | 06:18 |
| keepsake | cplab2-58: Download the .deb files and install them manually. | 06:18 |
| GodfatherofEire | foremode: shouldnt have | 06:18 |
| keepsake | \\`oot: Are you using proprietary Flash plug-ins from Adobe? | 06:18 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, That's strange. | 06:18 |
| GodfatherofEire | Indeed | 06:18 |
| \\`oot | keepsake: No? this is a standard install | 06:19 |
| acc_ | Hi, #Ubuntu. I'm trying to do an aptitude safe-upgrade on Hardy, but I'm unable to do so because I'm missing a gpg key to verify linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic. I've Googled for at least an hour with no luck. Any ideas where I might find it? | 06:19 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, if you go system -> Administration -> Sounds and tell me if it's detecting anything? | 06:19 |
| GodfatherofEire | formodel yep | 06:20 |
| Slart | acc_: those keys are usually available through the repository website.. they must be someone on ubuntu.com | 06:20 |
| Slart | acc_: someone/somewhere | 06:20 |
| keepsake | \\`oot: Try installing those. | 06:20 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, Can you try changing the playback options, then trying your sound? | 06:20 |
| \\`oot | OK | 06:20 |
| \\`oot | thx | 06:20 |
| transporter | hi i just found a few commands that could solve my problem could somebody help me in how should i type them in becoz i get a very unusual output with a lot of options | 06:21 |

| darkfuzion_ | im on Xchat now how can you add servers | 06:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | formode: I think... I got it.... ow,,, damn it | 06:21 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion_: howdy! | 06:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | Sound was all the way up | 06:21 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, haha. ^^ Yay. | 06:21 |
| fryguy | dongs: btw the file i was talking about is /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules | 06:21 |
| darkfuzion_ | hey one | 06:21 |
| darkfuzion_ | i installed compiz fuzion and it all works | 06:22 |
| formode | Gah, so is there a reason that, when moving a partition, that gparted copies even free space byte for byte? | 06:22 |
| fryguy | formode: because it can't know what is free space and what isn't | 06:22 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | It sees my other archived files, the ones with .gz extension, but not the ones with the /bz2 extension.... | 06:22 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion_: sweet! w00oties :-) | 06:22 |
| master_ | I have a compaq presario c50, ,,just installed ubuntu on it (8.10)...wifi is not working....can anyone help please?...I'm new to this OS | 06:22 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | .bz2* | 06:23 |
| formode | fryguy, Ah. :-/ That would be a nice feature, it's a clean windows install on a 60 gb partition, so there's like 55 gb of free space. | 06:23 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion_: for your question... at the top menu... XChat --> Network List | 06:23 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Hello? | 06:23 |
| _2 | formode because you are coping a aprtition, and not just the fs. i.e. it isn't reading the content it's just moving it. | 06:23 |
| fryguy | formode: it would also probably be longer to rewrite all of the inode tables so that everything could get rewritten correctly and not move free space | 06:23 |
| derklempner | Can anyone tell me how much system memory Firefox should be using when running? My running processes shows it using more than 80MB... | 06:24 |
| fryguy | derklempner: it'll use however much it needs/can use | 06:24 |
| fryguy | derklempner: i've had my firefox processes using in excess of 2gb of ram before | 06:24 |
| dongs | lol 80mb... | 06:24 |
| keepsake | derklempner: That's normal, don't worry. | 06:24 |
| formode | fryguy, I kind of want it to just, delete itself now. :-P | 06:24 |
| Slart | acc_: I couldn't find them in this short time but the keys aren't secret.. they are probably listed somewhere on a webpage, perhaps the ubuntu wiki | 06:24 |
| master_ | I have a compaq presario c50, ,,just installed ubuntu on it (8.10)...wifi is not working....can anyone help please?...I'm new to this OS | 06:24 |
| Slart | acc_: but I have to get going if I'm going to get to work on time so ask the channel again if you don't find them | 06:24 |
| acc_ | Slart: thanks | 06:25 |
| juancabrito | there's an icon in the top cormer which seems like something about not being connected to a network, but I do have internet, what could it be? this is happening after the last update of the system. | 06:25 |
| fryguy | dongs: you bother looking at that file that i told you to look at? | 06:25 |
| dongs | fryguy: yes, there's shit in there. can i just delete it. | 06:25 |
| fryguy | dongs: no | 06:25 |
| transporter | hi i just found a few commands that could solve my problem could somebody help me in how should i type them in becoz i get a very unusual output with a lot of options | 06:25 |
| dongs | i mean the contents. | 06:25 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: how long have you had it open and how many Tabs do you have open? | 06:25 |
| fryguy | dongs: probably | 06:25 |
| darkfuzion_ | ack i need to get to irc.dashhacks.com in Xchat | 06:25 |
| derklempner | onetinsoldier: about 45 minutes with three open tabs. | 06:25 |
| _2 | darkfuzion_ /server irc.dashhacks.com | 06:26 |
| zhjawe | derklempner: Epiphany Web is a lighte weight web browser,try it,ha ha. | 06:26 |
| derklempner | onetinsoldier: Ands it's hanging right now. Seems to do this a lot, sometimes right after I open the program with just one tab. | 06:26 |
| dongs | deleted, rebooting | 06:26 |
| keepsake | transporter: What are you trying to type in? | 06:26 |
| formode | Will cancelling a partition move (Of windows) ruin any other partitions? I don't want the one windows partition anymore. | 06:26 |
| darkfuzion_ | thanks | 06:26 |
| fryguy | formode: it could | 06:27 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: ok, 80 MB doesn't sound too unusual.. i just opened mine a couple minutes ago.. and have done nothing with it. lookslike it's using about 57 MB | 06:27 |
| keepsake | formode: You can probably just delete the partition altogether | 06:27 |
| p3n1x | installing 64bit ubuntu using my x-fi music and 9800gtx should build fine with the drivers. and support my 24in wide ok too? | 06:27 |
| fryguy | p3n1x: sure | 06:27 |
| dongs | fryguy: well, at least its back on eth0. | 06:27 |

| transporter | keepsake: well i found a thread on ubuntuforums.org well it could solve my problem with the woofer issue | 06:27 |

| jengc0il | hello w0rld | 06:27 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | formode, keepsake, have either of you noticed a BIG problem with the bass levels in intrepid? | 06:27 |
| Spherous | Just needed to get myself the link to tell me how to restore grub :D | 06:27 |
| formode | fryguy,keepsake, it's in the process of moving the partition right now. :-P It would be wise to just let it finish for it's 3 hour thing? | 06:27 |
| jengc0il | i'm now IBEX user | 06:27 |
| formode | godfatherofeire1, Not at all. | 06:27 |
| transporter | keepsake: i did not understand what exactly the author of the thread tried to write and am bit confused | 06:28 |
| formode | godfatheroseire1, my sound is actually better then windows gives me. | 06:28 |
| derklempner | onetinsoldier: Yeah, it sometimes comes back after a few minutes, but it's been over five minutes now and doesn't seem like it's going to recover. | 06:28 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | formode: why I switched from windows: I had no sound | 06:28 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: roger. i'm sorry to hear that | 06:28 |
| fryguy | GodfatherofEire1: ubuntu outputs bitperfect digital streams for me, just like it does in windows | 06:28 |
| formode | godfatherofeire1, then your one step father. :) Try using different settings in the sound preferences. | 06:29 |
| keepsake | formode: Definitely =P | 06:29 |
| keepsake | transporter: Can you link me to the thread, and tell me what command you're having problems with? | 06:29 |
| formode | keepsake. :( I wanted to osx86 my computer tonight, not tommorow. :-/ | 06:29 |
| derklempner | onetinsoldier: Could it be an issue with my RAM? I mixed types to go from 1GB to 1.5GB, and I'm thinking that may be the culprit. I've had other odd happenings as well. | 06:29 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | formode, unfortunately, I'd basically need a system-wide equalizer, but the only thing I know of for that is jackd, etc | 06:29 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: my only thought would be for you to rename(mv) your ~/.mozilla dir and see if that helps | 06:29 |

| darkfuzion_ | thats in the network add part | 06:30 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: yes.. that could have something to do with your issues. | 06:30 |
| keepsake | transporter: What is the command you're having problems with? | 06:30 |
| formode | godfatherofeire1, I mean try changing your soundsystem. :) Pulse, Alsa, and oss all could yeild different results. | 06:30 |
| transporter | keepsake: the last one | 06:30 |
| keepsake | transporter: Can you paste that command? | 06:30 |
| derklempner | onetinsoldier: I figured as much, just wanted confirmation. Thanks for the input. | 06:31 |

| Lou_ | What does that mean? | 06:32 |
| formode | godfatherofeire1, 4 hours to move 60gb? QQ My LAN is faster. | 06:32 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | My primary at that, and I had no back up | 06:33 |

| Lou_ | fryguy, does it say what hardware is failing? | 06:33 |
| DefamedPrawn | ok, I have a 4Gig partition, with 4k used, and only 380Gig available. Why is that? | 06:33 |
| keepsake | transporter: Press Alt+F2, then type in "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" | 06:33 |
| formode | godfatherofeire, Actually, at this point, I kind of want to just delete it haha. | 06:33 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: you should run 'memtest86+. apt-cache show memtest86+ | 06:33 |
| transporter | keepsake: im sorry i did not understand ur question | 06:33 |
| b1n42y | hi all, installed a bunch of packages including bind, apache2, net work managers, sniffers, etc from standard repos now i cant ssh to desktop, browse internet etc, I do believe my hosts file is empty (by way of some network manager gui) | 06:33 |
| fryguy | Lou_: segfaults usually indicate cpu or ram failing or running out of spec | 06:33 |
| formode | fryguy, I understand that. :) | 06:33 |
| yowshi1 | anyone know any goiod programmes for helping one build a webpage? | 06:33 |
| ce_ePhezn | konnichiwa | 06:33 |
| fryguy | yowshi1: vim is a nice editor | 06:33 |
| keepsake | transporter: So first paste that command and run it, do you get a gedit window? | 06:34 |
| Lou_ | fryguy, spec? | 06:34 |
| dwelz | vim is the shit | 06:34 |
| DefamedPrawn | ok, I have a 400Gig partition, with 4k used, and only 380Gig available. Why is that? | 06:34 |
| fryguy | Lou_: specification | 06:34 |
| fryguy | Lou_: running overclocked, too hot, etc | 06:34 |
| keepsake | !jp | ce_ePhezn | 06:34 |
| ubottu | ce_ePhezn: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 06:34 |
| yowshi1 | fryguy: i use gedit but i was thinking omre like dreamweaver | 06:34 |
| transporter | keepsake: could not find the command | 06:34 |
| keepsake | transporter: Press alt+f2 | 06:34 |
| jimmio | Hello all, any issues with QEMU and USB?... I'm installing Windows in QEMU just to sync my iPhone 3G... | 06:34 |
| fryguy | DefamedPrawn: the filesystem reserves 5% of the partition for system use | 06:34 |
| saranya | no one there to answer my question ah | 06:34 |
| keepsake | transporter: Do you see a run application popup? | 06:34 |
| Lou_ | fryguy, ok. Many thanks. | 06:34 |
| transporter | yes | 06:34 |
| DefamedPrawn | fryguy 20gig? I feel ripped off! | 06:34 |
| formode | jimmio, xD I'm still trying to get my ipod touch first gen to work haha | 06:35 |
| fryguy | Lou_: there could be other causes, but that's the most likely cause | 06:35 |
| keepsake | transporter: Type in "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" | 06:35 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| Lou_ | Ok, thanks. | 06:35 |
| transporter | keepsake: k done :D | 06:35 |
| ruhaan_jslip_ | is there a download manger for ubuntu that is similar to flashget? | 06:35 |
| keepsake | transporter: Do you see a text-editor window? | 06:35 |
| transporter | keepsake: yes | 06:35 |
| b1n42y | ruhaan_jslip_: i know theres kget for kde desktop | 06:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Also, would I have any serious problems with rezizing a partition back to its original size? Like, I have a partition with Windoze (ACK), 20 gigs, would It be fine if I just removed it, and resized /dev/sda1 or would that screw me over royally. Again | 06:35 |
| keepsake | transporter: Okay, scroll alllll the way down, and then at the very end of the file | 06:36 |
| jimmio | formode: iTouch and iPhone is encrypted, much like Microsoft's Zune is... so, yeah, Ubuntu is out of the question right now. | 06:36 |
| transporter | keepsake: k | 06:36 |
| ruhaan_jslip_ | b1n42y: kget doesnt support mutiple threeads | 06:36 |
| onetinsoldier | DefamedPrawn: when you install ubuntu, if using the option to manually set up your partitions, you can change that percentage | 06:36 |
| keepsake | transporter: Paste this text "options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL" | 06:36 |
| keepsake | transporter: But replace model with the model you're workign with | 06:36 |
| formode | jimmio, Mhm. :) Pre 2.0 we could SSH in via a BSD subsystem, but that's it. | 06:36 |
| DefamedPrawn | onetinsoldier could I change it now with gparted? | 06:36 |
| keepsake | transporter: So you can try this "options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-ms7195-dig" | 06:36 |
| b1n42y | ruhaan_jslip_: dono then google linux download manager multiple thread support | 06:36 |
| WIGGMPk1 | fryguy: segmentation faults are memory problems.. memory trying to write outside of its assigned locations.. trying to write to read only memory, etc | 06:36 |
| jimmio | formode: Now there's nothing? | 06:37 |
| formode | jimmio, so far. :-/ | 06:37 |
| formode | jimmio, They changed the hashing. | 06:37 |
| jimmio | formode: I say we petition Apple... or boycott... or something =P | 06:37 |
| ruhaan_jslip_ | i like d4x but it cany be minimized to tray | 06:37 |
| ruhaan_jslip_ | which is a pita for me | 06:37 |
| fryguy | WIGGMPk1: memory is not the only hardware cause, an overclocked or overheating processor could cause it as well, as I just mentioned | 06:37 |
| formode | jimmio, I emailed steve jobs, got no reponse. | 06:37 |
| onetinsoldier | DefamedPrawn: hhmm, good question. actually, i would look at man tune2fs | 06:38 |
| transporter | keepsake: k done | 06:38 |
| transporter | keepsake: now what do i do? | 06:38 |
| Neff1 | anyone know why the installer would skip over "preparing partitions" and go to partition screen | 06:38 |
| Neff1 | i'm using 8.10 | 06:38 |
| jimmio | formode: Unless you're Mr. DevelopersDevelopersDevelopers, you're not going to. | 06:38 |
| fryguy | Neff1: ? | 06:39 |
| formode | jimmio, It's generally worth a try. :) | 06:39 |
| keepsake | transporter: Restart, and see if things work. | 06:39 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Also, does anybody in here know of a bootable (i.e. iso image or something similar) that I could use to remove a partion on my HD, and then resize the primary partition? | 06:39 |
| fryguy | Neff1: that doesn't make sense to me | 06:39 |
| fryguy | GodfatherofEire1: gparted has a livecd | 06:39 |
| onetinsoldier | DefamedPrawn: yes... with tune2fs you 'can' change it. it's -m option | 06:39 |
| transporter | keepsake: k will u be here? | 06:39 |
| yowshi1 | fryguy: no? hmmm know any decent html guides for people who dcont know anythng about html? | 06:39 |
| psypher246 | hi all, pls any assistance would be great. i have a completely unusable work PC right now. Cannot browse the internet on either Opera, epiphany or firefox. Since 2 weeks ago my browser just crashes all the time. I have tried safe mode, new profile, re-install ff, all plugins disabled, uninstall java, uninstall flash and a heavy system stress test. Nothing works. FF and other browsers will still randomly crash. I have started a forum post on the probl | 06:39 |
| b1n42y | Neff1: computers have a tendancy to do what they are told, mabye select a different radio box and watch your next button clicks, they are placed in the same spot on most pages during install | 06:39 |
| DefamedPrawn | onetinsoldier ta! | 06:39 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | fryguy, thanks | 06:39 |
| psypher246 | just repeating in case anyone has any new ideas | 06:39 |
| psypher246 | tired disbaling compiz, does not work | 06:39 |
| fryguy | yowshi1: www.w3.org | 06:39 |
| onetinsoldier | DefamedPrawn: :-) | 06:40 |
| keepsake | transporter: Dunno, maybe =P | 06:40 |
| Neff1 | fryguy: when you go to install, it will bring up the "prepare partition right? | 06:40 |
| transporter | keepsake: sweet answer | 06:40 |
| jimmio | formode: I should bring my laptop (Ubuntu 8.10) in to a Mac [genius] and say "It won't f___ing work! Fix it!" and watch as they go "Oh, it's not supported. Sorry. Buy a mac?" | 06:40 |
| transporter | keepsake: really brother stay i will be back and meet u in private chat | 06:40 |
| transporter | :p | 06:40 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | fryguy, it shouldnt cause any problems, correct? Like mismatch between the physical reading and the superblock? cause I just lost all my data the other night to that problem. | 06:40 |
| WIGGMPk1 | fryguy: have to disagree with you there.. sometimes (rarely) would it be caused by a faulty piece of hardware, but it is usually ( 9 out of 10 ) times directly related to memory writing where it shouldnt be.. usually caused by the program using bogus pointers | 06:40 |
| fryguy | jimmio: what would be the point of that? | 06:40 |
| keepsake | transporter: okay =P I'll try | 06:40 |
| yowshi1 | fryguy: thats not a nice guide thats a complicated thingy thing where i dont know where to start | 06:40 |
| juancabrito | can i partition my disk from inside ubuntu to create a new one to install windows, maybe with vmware? | 06:40 |
| WIGGMPk1 | juancabrito: you can create a virtual hard drive with VMWare to install an OS | 06:41 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | hey | 06:41 |
| jimmio | fryguy: To prove how horrible things are getting... everything should work with everything. Write one industry standard binary driver, and have all OS's support it. Done. | 06:41 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an iBook, and I'm having a problem... (ErrorNo: 5). | 06:41 |
| fryguy | WIGGMPk1: a segfault in a very common well known and tested mature application (like nautilus in this case), is pretty unlikely, which is why i suggested hardware failure first, and then mentioned the potential for other causes | 06:41 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | I/O Error | 06:41 |
| ce_ePhezn | hello | 06:41 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | How do I install this: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70428&forumpage=0 | 06:41 |
| darkfuzion_ | wonders if i should install wine and make a full switch to linux | 06:42 |
| fryguy | jimmio: that's never been the case, and that will never be the case, and it's foolish to think so. | 06:42 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | jimmio: then capitalism/competitive free markets would be in trouble | 06:42 |
| fryguy | jimmio: and if it WERE the case, things would probably be pretty bad | 06:42 |
| mylogic | do it darkfuzion_! | 06:42 |
| fryguy | jimmio: systems are built for different uses | 06:42 |
| juancabrito | WIGGMPk1: I know, but I was wandering if that could help improving the performance | 06:42 |
| WIGGMPk1 | juancabrito: create a fixed disc image instead of using a dynamically expanding image and it would speed things up | 06:43 |
| jimmio | fryguy: I'm just sick of NEVER being able to use my OS of choice easily to do something that's "standard" stuff on Windows or Mac... | 06:43 |
| WIGGMPk1 | juancabrito: plus, how much memory are you assigning to the VM, how many cores does your processor have.. its NOT going to run like a native install | 06:43 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Help? Please? | 06:43 |
| _2 | darkfuzion_ being new to it. i would sujest you dual boot for a while. you can remove windows completely after you are comfortable with linux enough to fix your own oops's . | 06:43 |
| fryguy | jimmio: so pick one OS and stick to it | 06:43 |
| darkfuzion_ | yeah | 06:43 |
| darkfuzion_ | i agree | 06:44 |
| dongs | haha.. well now that network works, where's a not-5-years-outdated howto on setting up internet connection sharing? | 06:44 |
| jimmio | fryguy: Ubuntu. But wait, I have an iPhone! So both Ubuntu and Windows. | 06:44 |
| fryguy | or become a software engineer who deals with low-level APIs of multiple operating systems on a daily basis | 06:44 |
| b1n42y | !internet | 06:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about internet | 06:44 |
| WIGGMPk1 | fryguy: true, I understand where your going with it.. but Windows XP SP2 is known and tested OS but it doesnt mean its not going to blue screen and not be the OS's fault | 06:44 |
| b1n42y | asif | 06:44 |
| _2 | dongs why does the age of the howto matter ? | 06:44 |
| b1n42y | !network | 06:44 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:44 |
| fryguy | WIGGMPk1: it's very very rare for windows to blue screen due to something other than a hardware problem | 06:45 |
| WIGGMPk1 | fryguy: just trying to say, most commonly, the problem is memory and the usage of it | 06:45 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | fryguy: that gparted thing shouldnt screw up the superblock should it? Cause I lost all my data to that problem last night due to a faulty partition | 06:45 |
| dongs | _2: if it talks about 2.0 kernels, yes | 06:45 |
| juancabrito | WIGGMPk1: ok. Can I change to a fixed disk my current image? | 06:45 |
| sidhrt | My usb hard drive is not getting detected. anyone help, please... | 06:45 |
| _2 | dongs whatever. | 06:45 |
| fryguy | GodfatherofEire1: it shouldn't, but they have warnings around every piece of partitioning software to make backups for a reason | 06:45 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: dmesg in Terminal and pastebin. | 06:45 |
| WIGGMPk1 | juancabrito: that option has to be selected when you create the virtual disk | 06:45 |
| _2 | dongs have a look at http://howtoforge.com | 06:45 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | fryguy, true that | 06:45 |
| _2 | or is it .org | 06:45 |
| dongs | _2: okay ill go use ipchains right now | 06:45 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | Whenever I try to install Ubuntu on an iBook, it comes up with Errorno 5 (Input/Ouput Error) while installing. I'm using the PPC version... and I want to idealy if possiblej ust remove OSX | 06:46 |
| dongs | i was trying to remember waht the network shit was called in 1.2/1.3 but i forgot. | 06:46 |
| dongs | i dont think it was ipchains then. | 06:46 |
| dongs | somethign even more ridiculous. | 06:46 |
| fryguy | RazorFTW|Styles: you don't want to just remove OSX, you need it for some things still (firmware updates notably, also some disk management stuff you can only do in OSX) | 06:46 |
| WIGGMPk1 | fryguy: how is my statement any less true than? its more rare for a hardware problem to cause a seg fault than it is for a memory problem instead the OS or application | 06:46 |
| robquad | hey all, is there a lamp server metapackage? | 06:46 |
| WIGGMPk1 | fryguy: anyway, this is getting off the rails.. good conversation.. thanks | 06:46 |
| fryguy | WIGGMPk1: 99% of bluescreens in windows are hardware problems | 06:47 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | fryguy, why can't I Just remove OSX Completely and let ubuntu handle it? | 06:47 |
| _2 | !lamp | robquad | 06:47 |
| ubottu | robquad: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:47 |
| fryguy | RazorFTW|Styles: because ubuntu doesn't know how to upgrade firmware on mac hardware, since it's not standard x86 stuff | 06:47 |
| fryguy | RazorFTW|Styles: Macs don't have a bios | 06:47 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | This mac is only going to be used for surfing the web.. well I want to make a linux comp but yea | 06:48 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87591/ | 06:48 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | Why would that matter fryguy , (serioulsy just asking) :P | 06:48 |
| fryguy | RazorFTW|Styles: so then do that, why waste time removing another operating system | 06:48 |
| robquad | _2: My friend hit enter instead of space on the ubuntu server install where it asks what to install. is there a quicker way than reinstalling? | 06:48 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | fryguy, the hd is very small. | 06:48 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: Have you tried unplugging/reinserting the USB key? | 06:48 |
| fryguy | robquad: reinstalling takes like less than 10 minutes, it's probably faster than whatever else you want to do | 06:48 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion_: so what did you end up doing to get xorg working at maximum performance? | 06:48 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: USB drive* | 06:48 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | fryguy, but it is giving me an IO err thats the main issue.. idk wh | 06:48 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | why* | 06:48 |
| fryguy | RazorFTW|Styles: ubuntu needs like less than 10GB to run | 06:49 |
| _2 | robquad did you look at the page ? | 06:49 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | fryguy, I'm aware. | 06:49 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: yes. i have tried. it was working fine till yesterday. | 06:49 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | fryguy, but reguardless, even just trying to install it alongside osx it gives me an io err.r | 06:49 |
| PaddyMullen | I think I screwed up apt-get/python by trying to compile my own python | 06:49 |
| fryguy | PaddyMullen: probably | 06:49 |
| PaddyMullen | I'm trying to remove everything that I can and start from close to scratch | 06:49 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | PaddyMullen, i've done that haha | 06:49 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | wasn't fun to fix :P | 06:49 |
| fryguy | PaddyMullen: dpkg -f | 06:49 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | di it on a nix too haha | 06:50 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: Try "rmmod -f ehci_hcd" and see if that allows connection | 06:50 |
| robquad | fryguy: so there's no package that sets all of that up? | 06:50 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | like, err a server coloed somewhere | 06:50 |
| bzwingzero | Is there any way to force ubuntu to always start in safe graphics mode or force software rendering. My video card is shot and if it attempts hware rendering the entire machine crashes. | 06:50 |
| fryguy | robquad: no idea | 06:50 |
| fryguy | robquad: since you haven't set anything up yet, it's probably easier to just reinstall | 06:50 |
| _2 | robquad at any rate, for install. sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql | 06:50 |
| robquad | _2: yes, but it'll take like half an hour to do all of that, versus just a minute for an apt-get install or ten to fifteen for a full install | 06:50 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: it says operation not permitted | 06:50 |
| fryguy | sidhrt: sudo | 06:51 |
| robquad | _2: that's not the same thing, actually.... | 06:51 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: sudo, sorry | 06:51 |
| robquad | _2: got it anyway, thanks though | 06:51 |
| onetinsoldier | bzwingzero: so you can't get into your window-manager at all right now? | 06:51 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: I find ehci_hcd kind of unreliable, sometimes it works perfectly, other times it doesn't work at all. | 06:52 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: nothing happened. | 06:52 |
| onetinsoldier | bzwingzero: are wanting to be at console level only? | 06:52 |
| bzwingzero | onetinsoldier: sometimes I can but often after running for awhile it dies... taking the system with it. | 06:52 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: Try connecting your USB drive again | 06:52 |
| RazorFTW|Styles | fryguy, on startup I get "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Deamond. Some things, such as tehemes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. Last error message was: did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security polcy blocked the reply, the reply timedout expired, or the network connection was broken. | 06:52 |
| fryguy | bzwingzero: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the vesa driver | 06:52 |
| onetinsoldier | bzwingzero: so do you want console runlevel only? | 06:53 |
| bzwingzero | onetinsoldier: I'd prefer to have X, and I know it runs fine in safe graphics (while on a live disk) | 06:53 |
| keanu | I have a bug - isn't too big of a deal, but thought i'd let everyone know - http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1229582834oj2.png | 06:53 |

| bzwingzero | fryguy: will do. Thanks. | 06:53 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: no result. | 06:54 |
| keanu | fryguy, how can it say it's running on AC and running on battery at the same time? | 06:54 |
| the_newbie | I need help, how can I play a dvd in my computer? | 06:54 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: Can you post another dmesg? | 06:54 |
| eatThisAndDie | keanu: did you just apt-get something? | 06:54 |
| fryguy | keanu: the first message was a timed message that disappears after a few seconds | 06:54 |
| keanu | fryguy, yeah | 06:54 |
| darkfuzion_ | you opem totem player | 06:54 |
| fryguy | keanu: so it's not saying them at the same time, it's a residual message from before | 06:55 |
| keanu | eatThisAndDie, think you highlighted the wrong person ;) | 06:55 |
| onetinsoldier | bzwingzero: i am wondering if that'd the same thing as using the 'vesa' driver | 06:55 |
| the_newbie | when movie player tries to play the dvd, there is an error, where can I get the right codecs? | 06:55 |
| bzwingzero | onetinsoldier: from what i've researched, i'm pretty sure it is. | 06:55 |
| fryguy | the_newbie: ubuntu-restricted-extras has libdvdcss | 06:55 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87594/ | 06:55 |
| eatThisAndDie | keanu: you're the one with the power-related bug rite/ | 06:55 |
| darkfuzion_ | it should ask to dowload codec | 06:55 |
| keanu | fryguy, not really - even when i disconnect the AC power, it still says that it's running off of AC | 06:55 |
| keanu | eatThisAndDie, yeah | 06:55 |
| psypher246 | hey guys, wrt canonical support, they say 9-5. is that gmt? | 06:55 |
| the_newbie | fyguy, how can I install them? | 06:55 |
| onetinsoldier | bzwingzero: if it is then you can specify that as you xorg driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 06:55 |
| keanu | eatThisAndDie, no, i haven't apt-get'd anything recently | 06:55 |
| fryguy | keanu: then your board is apparently doing acpi stuff wrong, file a bug in launchpad | 06:56 |
| the_newbie | fryguy, how can I install them? | 06:56 |
| eatThisAndDie | yeah well i had that too while I was apt-get update distroing. | 06:56 |
| dongs | lol | 06:56 |
| bzwingzero | onetinsoldier: Got it. I just didn't know where the setting was. | 06:56 |
| fryguy | the_newbie: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:56 |
| onetinsoldier | bzwingzero: ok.. cool | 06:56 |
| keanu | fryguy, k - i removed the battery for a few mins, so it seems that it isn't re-registering the settings | 06:56 |
| the_newbie | fryguy, thanks | 06:56 |
| keanu | Power Manager 2.24.0 reports the battery life properly though | 06:57 |
| keepsake | sidhrt: Is it unmounted, or not connected at all? | 06:57 |
| sidhrt | keepsake: it is connected. but its not getting detected .. it used to get automounted before. now nothing happens. | 06:58 |
| nbeebo | when u got gnome-panel non fullscreen, u get those ugly "grab-buttons" on each side, is there a way to remove those? | 06:58 |

| mtaylor | I'm trying to talk a friend through this on the phone, and I'm trying to avoid saying the words "edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 07:15 |
| Meshezabeel | onetinsoldier: I am able to get to the site using a proxy site (http://ninjacloak.com), it pops up the warning message, but does not shut down firefox. There seems to be a gray applet underneath the gy.com logo that says: "An error occured while loading this applet." | 07:16 |

| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: you don't install through a login window | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: it's possible, however unlikely that it's a corrupt download. have you tried tar -t <file> ?? | 07:37 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: you install it using a theme manager from | 07:37 |
| Meshezabeel | onetinsoldier: thanks, using that plugin I get no crashes now :) | 07:37 |
| _2 | sidhrt also. while it's very unlikely, it is possable that it's /sys/ not mounted you can check that with this command ls /sys/ | 07:37 |
| sidhrt | _2: i dont understand .. what is another kernel? | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Meshezabeel: yeah! you're welcome :-) | 07:37 |
| b1n42y | k1dugar:"I am using now separate X screen, so I have two separate desktop." so thats why i said i dont think u can do that | 07:37 |

| RazorFTW|Styles | Hey, I'm trying to install Linux on a iBook and remove mac's os. Now the installer only sees 1/2 the hd (the unpartitioned part) And I refomrat it and select the HFS fiel system for mac( though I dont want mac) and it saids no NewWorld boot partition as found. The yaboot loader requires an apple bootstrap partition, (How can I remove this yaboot boot loader and use the grub one?) | 07:43 |

| ubd | ty ikonia | 07:50 |
| _2 | sidhrt ok. hmmm you are making this difficult aren't you... i mean your system is... | 07:50 |

| sidhrt | _2: umm... i am sorry mate.. but i appreciate all your help... | 07:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: you must be doing something wrong. i just double-checked that command. it absolutely works | 07:50 |
| gizmo | nickharper : so what your step..just do the burn with slower rate..? | 07:50 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be in the same directory as it | 07:51 |
| Meshezabeel | gizmo, check your media first, if it's not your media, check the iso file you downloaded against the md5sum hash (I think it's called) to make sure your iso file is not corrupted to begin with. | 07:51 |
| _2 | sidhrt heh no worries. just trying to hurry here. | 07:51 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | what is that command supposed to do, open it? | 07:51 |
| ikonia | wiehan: is the array still running ? | 07:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: No... just list the file contents | 07:51 |
| b1n42y | gizmo: check your dowload against a checksum first | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: it will verify it as a tar file | 07:51 |
| gizmo | Meshezabeel : i already check my md5.. | 07:51 |
| gizmo | its ok..my md5 same with the hash number.. | 07:51 |
| wiehan | ikonia: I didn't do anything else - so I guess the array is still running | 07:51 |
| sidhrt | _2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87629/ | 07:52 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | well, I just copied and pasted, and it didn't work... | 07:52 |
| b1n42y | ehehe double posts | 07:52 |
| gizmo | but i confuse with media.. | 07:52 |
| Meshezabeel | gizmo, okay, it should be a good iso then | 07:52 |
| nickharper | gizmo: Well, I didn't have another blank disc, so I loaded an older version of ubuntu, Gutsy, I believe, and upgraded from there. But, yes, reburn your disk at a slower burn rate - this should be in the options before you hit the burn button. | 07:52 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps what do you mean it didn't work - what did it do or say | 07:52 |
| gizmo | Meshezabeel : yes iso ok.. | 07:52 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be exact | 07:52 |
| b1n42y | gizmo u can also do a simulation before you burn | 07:52 |
| YankDownUnder | My lighter runs outta fluid every time I try to burn a disk... | 07:52 |
| Meshezabeel | gizmo, I think when you insert the disc, a menu appears asking to install it and other options, one of the options I think is to check disc for defects | 07:52 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | "tar: Vista.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory" | 07:52 |
| gizmo | simulation?media.. | 07:52 |
| b1n42y | YankDownUnder: same | 07:52 |
| Meshezabeel | gizmo, someone can tell me if I'm wrong | 07:53 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be in the SAME directory as the file as I said | 07:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: my Vista.tar.gz file just finished downloading. let me check it with that command... | 07:53 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | fyi the full file name is ubuntu to Vista.tar.gz | 07:53 |
| b1n42y | Meshezabeel: thats what ive been trying to say ... | 07:53 |
| rainabba | If my current directory contains the file "foo (x).ext", why wouldn't the following command list that file? | 07:53 |
| rainabba | ls -1 'foo (x)*' | 07:53 |
| gizmo | Meshezabeel : but i can open the "try ubuntu without change any of my computer" | 07:53 |

| gizmo | nickharper : i will try to burn a new one with the slower burn.. | 07:53 |
| Meshezabeel | gizmo, it doesn't matter, maybe there's one spot on the disc that has problems that isn't detected on live viewing | 07:54 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | is that the correct file name? | 07:54 |
| b1n42y | gizmo: do what Meshezabeel said | 07:54 |
| nickharper | b1n42y: I'm new to this whole thing, so, I do hope you were being honest and not sarcastic! You could dash my dreams away in a moment you know! | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps: I don't know what the file name is, it's your file ! | 07:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: tar -ztf ubuntu\ to\ Vista.tar.gz | 07:54 |
| gizmo | Meshezabeel : so what should i do..burn the new one with slow rate..? | 07:54 |
| wiehan | Until_It_Sleeps: spaces aren't allowed (or not understood) when typing in file names in terminal, thus use: \before the beginning of the space and then type the space or just use TAB for autocomplete | 07:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: worked for me! | 07:54 |

| ikonia | wiehan: sudo of course | 07:55 |
| b1n42y | nickharper: the advice you gave , i was referring to | 07:55 |

| Until_It_Sleeps | **** tar: ubuntu to Vista.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory | 07:55 |
| Meshezabeel | gizmo, well you could check the current one for defects like I mentioned just to see. But you could also try to burn it again at slow speed. Also, maybe try a different brand of disc if possible. | 07:55 |
| sidhrt | _2: | 07:55 |
| gizmo | ok.. | 07:55 |
| ikonia | Until_It_Sleeps how did you run file against it | 07:55 |
| nickharper | b1n42y: Yes, and I was hoping I had gave genuinely good advice. | 07:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Until_It_Sleeps: use Tab Completion | 07:55 |
| gizmo | i use infrarecorder to burn image.. | 07:55 |
| _2 | sidhrt if you have the time, someone here can surely help you find and correct it. but i have to go. | 07:55 |

| sidhrt | its okay _2.. we can finish off later.. | 07:56 |

| wiehan | ikonia: I really appreciate this, maybe I'll send you something in the post if all works out... | 08:18 |

| ikonia | wiehan: no open /dev/sdb with fdisk delete the partition (/dev/sdb1) witht he "d" command, then recreate it | 08:22 |
| ikonia | wiehan: don't forget to do "t" and then "fd" to set the parttiion type to raid AFTER you've recreated | 08:22 |

| LoveGuru | Hi, quick question i just compile new kernel but somehow it won't work so just delete that kernel from every where and in update my grub too but when i did " dpkg --list | grep linux-image " it shows my kernel still there .. i remove kernel thorugh apt-get utility. so why dpkg shows its still there? | 08:23 |
| alex_21 | In gateway goes the name of your router, Netmask is usually 255.255.255.0 and dns is dns | 08:23 |
| ikonia | wiehan: once you have re-created the partitions (don't forget "w" to write and quite fdisk" try the mdadm command I gave you to create the array | 08:23 |
| iaindalton | alex_21: The gateway field in network-manager expects an IP address. So, I'd enter something like 192.168.2.1? Also, what do you mean "dns is dns"? Do I have to enter DNS for the connection to work? That field is in a separate area. | 08:25 |

| wiehan | Photoguy: There is a lot: AWN, Cairo (i think), simdock, the list goes on | 09:22 |
| Photoguy | Aah, which is the best? | 09:22 |
| jim_p | Photoguy, do you want me to make a full list of what each has? | 09:23 |
| Sookie | jim_p, I configured Evolution to access an Exchange OWA account at my office, while configuring, the autentication test works, however afterwards when trying to access the mailbox it is always asking me for the password and failing during the autentication process | 09:23 |
| Photoguy | Or most stable. | 09:23 |
| pakus | Hiya | 09:23 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, oh boy, I've had that problem before | 09:23 |
| wiehan | Photoguy: personally I stopped using AWN because it froze permanently... my pc started to run like it had windows installed | 09:24 |
| jim_p | Photoguy, avant-window-navigator if you dont mind the bar to be on the bottom. wbar if you look for something light | 09:24 |
| pakus | Do you know a good guide to mount a Remote X Server for 50 users? | 09:24 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, so you will be my angeld today if you could give me a hand on this! | 09:24 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, make sure to put in a global address list server (usually the domain controller works fine) | 09:24 |
| Photoguy | Ok, thanks for the advice. | 09:24 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, but I've found it to be very fickle and sensitive | 09:25 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, but I only have http://servername/exchange and my user/password info | 09:25 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, on another tab there is info for the GAL | 09:25 |
| theatrustop | and if that doesn't work, sometimes running the connector setup manually works | 09:26 |
| theatrustop | in short, I gave up on it in the end and just access exchange through imap via thunderbird | 09:26 |
| theatrustop | :) | 09:26 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, yes I know that tab, but I mean that for the server the only infor I have is this: http://servername/exchange, so in GAL should I put just http://servername ? | 09:26 |
| theatrustop | exchange-connector-setup-2.22 is a binary you can run | 09:26 |
| theatrustop | no http://, IP address basically | 09:27 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, I will try | 09:27 |
| theatrustop | I did have it working for awhile myself but then with some exchange patch the calendaring system would just crash the second you loaded it | 09:27 |
| Sookie | theacolyte, well, doesn't work | 09:28 |
| jim_p | has anyone seen/used/witnessed the use of an application similar to this http://www.heise-online.co.uk/images/112274/1/1 ? | 09:28 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, so what is the alternative? My office only has an Exchange server, no POP | 09:28 |
| theatrustop | learn to love accessing the stripped down version (for non IE) via a browser :-/ | 09:29 |
| theatrustop | Newer evolution in intrepid might have fixed problems though | 09:29 |
| dns53 | jim_p there is one in apt, it used to be included but was removed in feisty it's gnome hardware or something | 09:30 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, well, this is really a big handicap for people who want to use Linux in their hostile Microsoft Enviroments | 09:30 |
| jim_p | dns53, the gnome device manager? | 09:30 |
| dns53 | yes | 09:30 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, I use Linux at work, with exchange via IMAP | 09:30 |
| theatrustop | e-mail works which is the important part | 09:31 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, but I don't think they have IMAP working | 09:31 |
| ikonia | wiehan: I'm back | 09:31 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, if so, what software can I use instead? Thunderbird? | 09:31 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, and then, what about with the global agenda? the public folders that all of us share, etc..? | 09:32 |
| pakus | I want to configure a Remote X Server using gnome and NX. Now It's working, but gnome tries to launch applet that won't works remotely | 09:32 |
| obhk_ | does anybody know a command line program for filetransfer over ftps (ftp over implicit tls/ssl)? | 09:32 |
| wiehan | ikonia: hey my friend | 09:33 |
| ikonia | wiehan: how did you get on | 09:33 |
| Kartagis | does ubuntu have a download accelerator like flashget on windows? where i can download files from rapidshare | 09:33 |
| wiehan | ikonia: glad to see you... heck - I've been batteling | 09:33 |
| ikonia | wiehan: ok, so not good thatn | 09:33 |
| ikonia | wiehan: explain the current sitaution | 09:33 |
| ikonia | situaiton | 09:33 |
| wiehan | ikonia: even tried installing evms (a GUI to do this tyoe of thing) | 09:34 |
| ikonia | ughhh no | 09:34 |
| scientes | why does a linux modules [ackage require a image package? | 09:34 |
| ikonia | scientes they are linked to a kernel | 09:34 |
| wiehan | ikonia: Is it possible that we can start right from the top... assuming I've done no prep at all... | 09:34 |
| ikonia | scientes: the image is the kernel | 09:34 |
| scientes | but i load the kernel from nfs | 09:34 |
| ikonia | wiehan ok, lets do that. | 09:34 |
| scientes | but need the modules local of course | 09:34 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, IMAP access will see shared folders | 09:35 |
| wiehan | ikonia: I will be pasting the steps one by one into a text file to later on publish somewhere on the net - There really needs to be an easy guide like you do it out there, let that be my contribution at least... | 09:35 |
| ikonia | scientes I've not followed what you've been doing so can't comment | 09:35 |
| wiehan | ikonia: lets go... | 09:35 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, but try the connector setup in evolution | 09:35 |

| mosiac | so quick question i have ubuntu installed on my notebook and for some reason when i plug a micro sd card in it says i have to be a super user to mount the device how can i tweakk it | 09:36 |
| wiehan | ikonia: if it makes any difference: I am ssh'ing in... and documenting the steps will take a tad longer, so bare with me please | 09:36 |
| Photoguy | *bear | 09:36 |
| ikonia | wiehan: | 09:36 |
| ikonia | wiehan: no problem | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | generalsnus: what is the command you use to mount? | 09:36 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, can you please give me a general steps list for the connector? | 09:36 |

| === rd3000x is now known as Guest76125 | ||

| mosiac | it keeps asking me for a filesystem type | 09:38 |
| mosiac | and no matter what i put it says bad superblock | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mosiac: ok where do you want to mount it? | 09:39 |
| blip- | hi all, I have Kubuntu 8.04 and there is a FAT32 partition on my system... everytime I want to mount or unmount this partition through Dolphin filemanager, I get a prompt to enter my password for root access... the problem is when I shutdown the machine as it's shutting down KDE tries to unmount and gives me a password prompt (gui) but there is on time to type it in..... the end result is I usually lose all the changes i've made on the partition during | 09:39 |
| blip- | that session.... I noticed this partition isn't defined in fstab... is that why it's asking me for passwd every time ? thanks | 09:39 |
| mosiac | i made /media/sdcard | 09:39 |
| Prince | hi all | 09:40 |
| wiehan | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d5e64fc36 (don't mind the 8gb flash disk - and my / is on a 40gb hard drive) | 09:40 |
| generalsnus | ActionParsnip1: i didnt use a command.. i tried to open the usb drive from desktop | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mosiac: ok and what is the partition name (/dev/sdc1 for example) you will see that if you run the commad ikonia said | 09:40 |
| mosiac | its /dev/sdc | 09:40 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, nothing in synaptic under the name of echange-connector | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | generalsnus: if you right click it and select mout you should be asked for a password | 09:40 |
| Prince | does anyone know if there is an development environment for c on ubuntu? | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mosiac: its, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdc is the disk itself. sdc1 is the first partition and you can only mount partitions | 09:41 |
| beni- | hi guys. i installed ubuntu from the live-cd and i saw that exim is running... why that? can i disable it? or is some other process relying on a running mailserver? | 09:41 |
| theatrustop | Sookie, its installed by default with evolution | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mosiac: ok, what file system is it using? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | wiehan: ok, that looks pretty good | 09:41 |
| Unknown0BC | Greetings :D | 09:41 |
| mosiac | now its using fat32 | 09:41 |

| ActionParsnip1 | mosiac: ok then this is easy | 09:42 |
| riz0n | Is there a way to disable/enable accounts in unbuntu without having to delete them or change the password? | 09:42 |
| kris_ | someone can help me with some server questions ? | 09:42 |
| kanchana | hello, I am connected but I dont receive any packets, so actually I have no internet connection... it says it is connected, but nothing works - firefox, ping, nothing | 09:42 |
| ikonia | wiehan: sudo mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 --force /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 | 09:42 |
| Prince | UnknownOBC: did you tried VLC Media Player.. it can play much formats maybe amr. too | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mosiac: sudo moubt /dev/sdc1 /media/sdcard -t vfat | 09:42 |
| dns53 | Unknown0BC i think it is going to be hard, try vlc or mplayer but you may need to compile support for it in ffmpeg | 09:43 |
| Sookie | theatrustop, is it possible to setup thunderbird just knowing http://servername/exchange and user/password data? | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Prince: any player can play any file with correct codecs installed | 09:43 |
| tiyowan | Trying open a gnome-terminal window of a *set* size. Anyone familiar with the command switch to do that? Man page seems to be rather vague on it. | 09:43 |

| mosiac | beautiful thank you | 09:43 |
| ikonia | wiehan yes please | 09:43 |

| ActionParsnip1 | kris_: if you havent configured any security, they are open | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Sorcererbob: oh | 09:47 |

| kanchana | Sorcererbob, I wrote it in terminal and it says: network: unrecognized service | 10:00 |
| psypher246 | --debug goes into some kind of terminal debig mode, don't understand what they want from me after that\ | 10:00 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip1: there is no man page for it | 10:00 |
| gnomefreak | use firefox help | 10:01 |
| psypher246 | what logs should i specifically look for, tried kernel, syslog, messages | 10:01 |
| mrfelton | I'm still batteling trying to figure out what is causing my net connection to be slow ridiculously slow ( a usual 70000kbps down to about 95kbps). I have disabled all services on my laptop, installed the firestarter firewall, kicked everyone off the network except my two laptops... | 10:01 |
| aldin | how do i automaticaly boot vboxdrv module during the boot without "scripting", everytime i had to do modprobe vboxdrv before using vbox, is there some way that kernel remembers my last list of modules? | 10:01 |
| aldin | * scripting - no manualy typing modprobe vboxdrv in some boot script | 10:01 |
| wiehan | ikonia: [======>..............] resync = 34.8% etc.. | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/firefox | 10:01 |
| ikonia | wiehan still building the array | 10:01 |
| luddite | beni : kill it and see what happens. in terminal go "ps aux | grep exim" then find the pid number of the process. then go "kill XXX" | 10:01 |
| theatrustop | wiehan, did you set up a mirror? | 10:01 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip1: our package doesnt have a man page | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psypher246: http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/firefox | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: well everyone elses does | 10:02 |
| gnomefreak | none of our mozilla packages have a man page | 10:02 |
| mrfelton | I don't know what else to try :( | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: good jo i have a few different linux distros installed eh ;) | 10:02 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip1: we didnt make one on purpose | 10:02 |
| Sorcererbob | kanchana: I'm sorry to say it, but I don't recall enough about ubuntu to continue... I've been using CentOS for the last year or so :( | 10:02 |
| dns53 | aldin the file /etc/modules has modules to load on boot | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: why, thats silly | 10:02 |
| Raven | anyone know how to add more options to update-java-alternatives? | 10:02 |
| mrfelton | I checked for rootkits too - none found | 10:03 |
| wiehan | ikonia: oh, so it is rebuilding it in the background? So I need to check back concurrently to see when it is 100%... strange.. | 10:03 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip1: not really since help gives you everything | 10:03 |
| kanchana | Sorcererbob, actually, what's in brief what should I do now? | 10:03 |
| lianimator | Help on JAVA app with Eclipse? JOptionPane.showInputDialog gives a frozen dialog box. Have to Force Quit. | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: well the man page is a few hundred kb in size, every other app has a man page | 10:03 |
| theatrustop | Raven, use the full update-alternatives | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: makes no sense whatsoever | 10:03 |
| ikonia | wiehan: you got it | 10:03 |
| * gnomefreak has way too much work to make any so if someone cares to write one we will add it | 10:03 | |
| axyjo | ActionParsnip1: sure http://pastie.org/342167 sorry for the delay | 10:03 |
| wiehan | lianimator: go to ##eclipse or ##java | 10:03 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip1: i'm just trying anything, every single browser i install crashes randomly while browsinf | 10:04 |
| theatrustop | lianimator, try ##java | 10:04 |
| mrfelton | One thing I have noticed is that firestarter is catching shit loads of outgoing connections to really random port numbers. How can I find out what these are caused by? They all oriinate from my machine. | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gnomefreak: just copy that text, its been done for you (?) | 10:04 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip1: so what logs do i look at?\ | 10:04 |
| dns53 | lianimator adjust the command line options for eclipse to allow java to use more memory | 10:04 |
| rfxcasey | I am planning on installing XP on another drive I need help Identifying the location of all my partitions | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psypher246: any and all you can find | 10:04 |
| mrfelton | if I look up the IP of these connections, they are really really random websites | 10:04 |
| anon | I'm not quite sure how to phrase this, but is it possible to boot an older kernel with intrepid? | 10:04 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip1: wish it was that easy | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psypher246: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles | 10:04 |
| C0p3rn1c | is there more opensuse like gnome menu for ubuntu ? | 10:04 |
| anon | i'm experiencing the exact issue in this thread | 10:04 |
| dns53 | anon sure you can | 10:04 |
| mrfelton | I thought it might have been because someone was bouncing off my apache proxy or something, but I have since turned apache off! | 10:05 |
| anon | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972696 | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: opensuse uses kde doesnt it? | 10:05 |
| anon | which also seems to be related to other threads cataloging high cpu use from Xorg | 10:05 |
| Raven | theatrustop, what is the full update-alternatives? | 10:05 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: they use both | 10:05 |
| lianimator | dns53: care to tell me where to adjust this? in preferences->? | 10:05 |
| rfxcasey | need help setting up XP dual boot with an existing Ubuntu install | 10:05 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip1: IIRC you can choose either DE during install | 10:05 |
| wiehan | ikonia: hang on for me.. it's at 45%... check back in couple of minutes.. | 10:05 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: I'm going to try opensuse today, after there new release, it looks pretty userfriendly | 10:06 |
| psypher246 | after running firefox --debug and get (gdb) promnts what then???\/ | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: theres a replacement menu system for kde i know of | 10:06 |
| gnomefreak | rfxcasey: better off havin windows installed first | 10:06 |
| rfxcasey | gnome | 10:06 |
| gnomefreak | psypher246: hold on we have a wiki on debugging firefox | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: its good to try differernt distros | 10:06 |
| anon | dns53, how would you go about loading a much older kernel in Ubuntu 8.10? | 10:06 |
| theatrustop | Raven, update-alternatives | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: if you install windows then ubuntu the dual booting will be handled for you | 10:07 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: yes, I'm trying to find a system that works best for everyone in my family | 10:07 |
| theatrustop | mrfelton, you have some serious issues then | 10:07 |
| rfxcasey | gnomefreak, I have a tutorial that says all I have to do is save my menu.lst | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: unless you all have identical needs, its not going to happen | 10:07 |
| anon | 2.6.27-7-generic and 2.6.27-9 are available in synaptic | 10:07 |
| mrfelton | theatrustop, yes.. but what!? | 10:07 |
| theatrustop | mrfelton, lsof -i will show you which process has which network connection open | 10:08 |
| gnomefreak | rfxcasey: do it as you wish i just suggested the easiest way | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: if you install ubuntu first, the grub bootloader will be overwritten and need to be reinstalled from live cd | 10:08 |
| dns53 | lianimator edit the command line for the icon, right click the menu and select edit menu, then edit the eclipse icon, do a search google search for the command line option for memory, i don't have it on me | 10:08 |
| anon | but the individual lashi in the thread link above suggested a rollback to hardy kernel 2.6.24-21-generic | 10:08 |
| psypher246 | gnomefreak: thanks although the problem is not with FF but with every browser possible on ububtu | 10:08 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: yeah I figured that, w'll see, it would be much easyer to manage though | 10:08 |
| rfxcasey | gnomefreak, the easiest way doesn't involve wiping out my current Linux install | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: the menu.lst is untouched, its the boot sector on the physical disk that will point to the windows boot loader | 10:08 |
| gnomefreak | psypher246: what exactly is it? | 10:08 |
| anon | to fix the problem | 10:09 |
| dns53 | anon add the sources.list from hardy for example and install it using aptitude/synaptic | 10:09 |
| psypher246 | i'm just grabbing at straws, almost to the point of buying support from canonical but io cannot afford till next year, so completely useless wortk pc till then | 10:09 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, ok I know this I just need some details | 10:09 |
| gnomefreak | rfxcasey: than install windows and use alternate cd to reinstall grub | 10:09 |
| psypher246 | gnomefreak: Cannot browse the internet on either Opera, epiphany or firefox. Since 2 weeks ago my browser just crashes all the time. I have tried safe mode, new profile, re-install ff, all plugins disabled, , disabled compiz, uninstall java, uninstall flash and a heavy system stress test. Nothing works. FF and other browsers will still randomly crash. I have started a forum post on the problem but no resolution yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread | 10:09 |
| anon | dns53, ok to pm? | 10:09 |
| riz0n | Just out of curiosity, is webmin a good web-based application for Ubuntu server? | 10:09 |
| dns53 | anon you could also look through your hardy mirror and download the .deb and install it | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: what do you need? | 10:09 |
| stefg | wiehan: that's actually a quite straightforward thing. The only catch is that teh win installer will overwrite your mbr, so you will have to restore grub afterwards | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !webmin | riz0n | 10:09 |
| ubottu | riz0n: 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. | 10:09 |
| mrfelton | theatrustop, but I don't see anything abnormal... 5xskype, 1xirc, 7xthunderbird, 7xjava + 1 ssh | 10:09 |
| dns53 | anon go ahead | 10:09 |
| riz0n | !ebox | 10:10 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 10:10 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, I need to know how to Identify where my partition are you know like 0,1 and 1,1 | 10:10 |
| generalsnus | how can i get usb disk to mount automaticly on desktop in xubuntu? or how can i make a application launcher on desktop..with the command: thunar /media/$USER/usbdisk-sda1 | 10:10 |
| gnomefreak | psypher246: that isnt a browser bug, that is something on the system doing it | 10:10 |
| theatrustop | psypher246, if you're have crashing issues with everything, its either a shared library got whacked (try aptitude reinstall) or your system has serious RAM consistency issues | 10:10 |
| theatrustop | mrfelton, watch out for Skype, it can turn your system into a routing supernode | 10:10 |
| acedip | i'm getting following errors when i did a fsck on my external drive http://pastebin.com/m57d98048 | 10:10 |
| meckle | Are there any users online who know anything about Zenity? | 10:10 |
| stefg | generalsnus: actually that should be default behaviour. does it not work ? | 10:11 |
| acedip | any help here | 10:11 |
| * mrfelton quits skype! | 10:11 | |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: 0 is the first disk, 1 is the second disk etc. 0,0 is first disk first partition, 0,1 is first disk second partition | 10:11 |
| mrfelton | theatrustop, I never knew that | 10:11 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, I don't know a whole lot about why the storage device manager calls it sda and sdb but in other context it is hdd 0,1 | 10:11 |
| wiehan | ikonia: what's this I hear about restoring GRUB after this? | 10:11 |
| JumboJellyfish | no skype on ubuntu? | 10:11 |
| stefg | !grub | wiehan | 10:11 |
| ubottu | wiehan: 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 | 10:11 |
| Ranakah | JumboJellyfish getdeb.com | 10:12 |
| psypher246 | theatrustop: heavy system stress test. not ram . aptitude reinstall? will that reinstall all apps and not hose my current config? | 10:12 |
| ChrisBookwood | Hi | 10:12 |
| theatrustop | psypher246, you have to name the packages | 10:12 |
| theatrustop | psypher246, you can try debsums too | 10:12 |
| theatrustop | psypher246, see if anything got changed | 10:12 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, Well I know this and when I installed Ubuntu I put it on the second disk which is on a SATA1 controller and later I would put XP on the SATA2 controller for more speed gaming | 10:12 |
| psypher246 | debsums? | 10:12 |
| wiehan | stefg: I know exatly what GRUB is... but wasn't aware of this | 10:13 |
| generalsnus | stefg: no it dosent.. i can find the usb disk at /media/usbdisk-sda1 | 10:13 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, my mobo has both types | 10:13 |
| aiso | hi all -can canybody recommend a good CLI file manager that would let me select multiple (random) files in a folder and then copy them somewhere else? | 10:13 |
| ChrisBookwood | Which email application should I use, if I want to be able to make birthdaycard like email, and other stuff like that? I use evolution at the moment | 10:13 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, and I have 2 drives | 10:13 |
| theatrustop | psypher246, goes through your package repository and verifies checksums on installed files | 10:13 |
| theatrustop | like, all of them | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: i think !grub will tell youo how to identify | 10:13 |
| theatrustop | aiso, midnight commander ? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !grub | rfxcasey | 10:13 |
| ubottu | rfxcasey: 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 | 10:13 |
| gnomefreak | aiso: did you try MC? | 10:13 |
| psypher246 | theatrustop: now THAT is the shit!!! | 10:13 |
| stefg | generalsnus: then check that 'show volimes on desktop' option is checked in the xfce settings | 10:13 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1 yeah the default is menu.lst I have it backed up to a flash disk already | 10:14 |
| theatrustop | psypher246, had a server that subtly whacked libc once in an XFS accident | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psypher246: you could use apt-build and rebuild your system from source | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: well if no disks move then it should be the same | 10:15 |
| psypher246 | theatrustop: k it's running, will it output if there any errors at the end or should i grep for errors?\ | 10:15 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, so how do I know what is the primary drive? | 10:15 |
| theatrustop | run it -c or -s to just show errors | 10:16 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip1: heard bout that. will check it out. the only thing i want to avoid is a re-install, just too much work and no bandwidth | 10:16 |
| stefg | So here we have 'firefox-blurry-fonts'-problem... once again. with every new release and new xorg-version you have to find a different workaround to the font mess in linux .... i'm so tired of it. This time it's espicially | 10:16 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip1: i'll do ANYTHIGN to not re-install | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psypher246: made my firefox and fretsonfire run like a dream | 10:16 |
| stefg | .. especdially the ubuntu pages which got substituted a quite stupid font, which renders bad in firefox | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psypher246: its doesnt reinstall, just makes new files from source with the optomisation you choose | 10:17 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, I have a samsung and a western digital I believe the samsung is on the Sata II controller which I only have one of and the WD is on one of my 2 regular Sata controllers | 10:17 |
| stefg | Anyone already went thru this and has some advice | 10:17 |
| psypher246 | so it's kind of like debian from scratch? | 10:17 |
| ChrisBookwood | Which email application should I use, if I want to be able to make birthdaycard like email, and other stuff like that? I use evolution at the moment | 10:17 |
| theatrustop | ActionParsnip1, I thought the firefox debuild masked out any custom optimization settings? | 10:17 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, my ubuntu install should be on the 1.5Gbs Sata | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: read the !gru stuff, i think it helps identify the drives and partitions | 10:17 |
| riz0n | well it appears that the "Ebox" installation procedures on the page provided by !ebox is inaccurate | 10:17 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, | 10:18 |
| rfxcasey | ok one more question | 10:18 |
| gnomefreak | !ebox | 10:18 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 10:18 |
| tiyowan | stefg: I'm sorry, I missed the description of your problem. Could you repeat it please? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theatrustop: runs the sme customisations here, just smoother as i ave it sse3 ;) | 10:18 |
| gnomefreak | riz0n: what is wrong with the output of !ebox? | 10:18 |
| theatrustop | they must have changed that then | 10:18 |
| theatrustop | I should try it on my 64bit machine with gcc 4.3 and -mtune=core2 | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theatrustop: i can only tell you what i see, maybe they did | 10:19 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, if I had a 2 swap partitions, one on each drive (I did it with partitionmagic....don't ask why) how can I be sure if I delete the one on the future windows disk it won't screw up my machine | 10:19 |
| gnomefreak | ikonia: are you able to edit bot triggers incase i miss the problem with it? | 10:19 |
| riz0n | on the page, it instructs you to put the following line in your sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/juruen/ubuntu/ hardy main then do sudo apt-get update | 10:19 |
| riz0n | when you actually do the update it returns a 404 file not found | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: check the fstabs of the installed linuxes | 10:20 |
| stefg | tiyowan, the problem is that fonts render differently in each version of ubuntu... in intrepid the problem is that a lot of web pages have blurry fonts, because the font substitution stupidly chooses a font which isn't hinted right for this xorg-version | 10:20 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: I just asked in #opensuse and it's gnome, if your interested you can check out the demo here : http://www.novell.com/linux/demos/desktop.html (this is the enterpise edition but it looks the same in opensuse) | 10:20 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, how do I do that | 10:20 |
| ikonia | gnomefreak: I think so | 10:20 |
| rww | riz0n: oh, so the wiki page is wrong, not the factoid? | 10:20 |
| riz0n | the factoid works | 10:20 |
| gnomefreak | riz0n: thats the PPA most likely he dropped the packages but i will look. do yuou have correct repos for it? | 10:20 |
| riz0n | the wiki page isn't | 10:20 |
| tiyowan | stefg: Indeed. My fonts looked horrible when I installed intrepid, but I found a nice fix btw. | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: read /etc/fstab of each system and make sure its not poiting /swp to the other drive | 10:21 |
| riz0n | i dont think i do | 10:21 |
| riz0n | i just want to make sure im using the latest version of the code | 10:21 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: Maybe it's a good idea to port these menu's to ubuntu | 10:21 |
| emman1 | how do i connect to undernet server in a gaim program? | 10:21 |
| gnomefreak | riz0n: ok let me look into it. give me a few minutes | 10:21 |
| stefg | tiyowan so i'm eager to hear it :-) | 10:21 |
| ikonia | emman1 gaim is dead, its replaed with pidgin | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: what menus? | 10:21 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: start menu and configuration tools | 10:22 |
| psypher246 | theatrustop: what shoudl i look for when debsums is finished? | 10:22 |
| emman1 | really? but i still use it with my yahoo account | 10:22 |
| * gnomefreak doesnt have a browser atm so it may be a while | 10:22 | |
| allsystemsarego | tiyowan, how did you fix the ugly fonts? | 10:22 |
| theatrustop | any checksums mismatched | 10:22 |
| emman1 | it still work. | 10:22 |
| ikonia | emman1 what version of ubuntu are you on ? | 10:22 |
| tiyowan | stefg: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/15/tweak-your-font-rendering-for-better-appearance/ <- I had to edit my fonts.conf file. Apparently, there's a patent issue with Apple, which is why this wasn't included in Intrepid by default. | 10:22 |
| rfxcasey | read the !gru stuff, i think it helps identify the drives and partitions????? where do I find this | 10:22 |
| theatrustop | missing is usually ok, some packages don't include checksums | 10:23 |
| stefg | what bugs me most is that especially the ubuntu doc looks terrible.. | 10:23 |
| emman1 | actually im using it in windows | 10:23 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, read the !gru stuff, i think it helps identify the drives and partitions????? where do I find this | 10:23 |
| rww | !windows | emman1 | 10:23 |
| ubottu | emman1: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: theres one in kde called kmenu edit, i dunno what it is in gnome | 10:23 |
| emman1 | i use gaim instead of ym | 10:23 |
| ikonia | emman1: so why are you asking us about it ? | 10:23 |
| psypher246 | theatrustop: well it looked like everything said ok running it again with -a -s swithc (all and silent, only report errors) | 10:23 |
| gnomefreak | riz0n: go to launchpad.net and search for the package and you should see bzr branches on the source page find out what branches are there and you should find a PPA | 10:23 |
| stefg | tiyowan, thx! excellent find | 10:23 |
| emman1 | because gaim is open source, maybe | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !grub | rfxcasey | 10:24 |
| ubottu | rfxcasey: 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 | 10:24 |
| ikonia | emman1 this isn't an open source channel, it's a channel for ubuntu support only | 10:24 |
| gnomefreak | gaim is gone | 10:24 |
| tiyowan | stefg: I'm using an LCD btw. Following the instructions in the post made everything beautiful. Also, you might want to install the liberation and ms font packages. I use liberation as my system default. *Much* better. | 10:24 |
| === aria is now known as Guest32109 | ||
| emman1 | ok sorry | 10:24 |
| C0p3rn1c | ActionParsnip1: ic, ok I will google it some more | 10:24 |
| emman1 | can you tell me a channel for that | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | C0p3rn1c: try www.ask.com too | 10:24 |
| gnomefreak | emman1: try #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:25 |
| ikonia | emman1: try windows | 10:25 |
| emman1 | ty | 10:25 |
| ikonia | emman1: ##windows sorry | 10:25 |
| riz0n | wasn't gaim replaced with pidgin | 10:25 |
| gnomefreak | or windows | 10:25 |
| gnomefreak | riz0n: yes | 10:25 |
| riz0n | gnomefreak thats what i thought | 10:25 |
| rfxcasey | ActionParsnip1, sorry I am pretty newb I don't understand what !grub is | 10:25 |
| theatrustop | riz0n, yes, though pidgin is gaim renamed to not have 'AIM' in its name | 10:25 |
| gnomefreak | riz0n: IIRC alot of the code was replaced as well | 10:26 |
| riz0n | gnomefreak: i am going to install what is in the universe repository. i am just looking for something to administer my web server since webmin is no longer supported | 10:26 |
| Photoguy | I'm trying to install Wbar from the terminal. Here is what it says: http://pastebin.com/m522e0e0 | 10:26 |
| gnomefreak | rfxcasey: go to one of the links from the output of !grub | 10:26 |
| emman1 | so can pidgin now view a cam? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !grub > rfxcasey | 10:27 |
| ubottu | rfxcasey, please see my private message | 10:27 |
| rfxcasey | !grub | 10:27 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:27 |
| stefg | tiyowan, i have them too... it's not that all pages look bad, just some... my guess is that the font-substitution for Helvetica simply takes a bad choice. The trouble in linux is that any given font is optimized for ONE rendering setting. So if you enable full hinting you can throw out all the Nimbus and Free- family and are left with DejaVu/Ditstrem Vera and Liberation | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rfxcasey: ubottu is telling you, hes told you 3 times now | 10:27 |
| saywot | erm, how might one install XINE in Intrepid Ibex (not gxine, not Kaffeine - I know they use the same engine but I'm after the Xine GUI) | 10:27 |
| Photoguy | I'm trying to install Wbar from the terminal. Here is what it says: http://pastebin.com/m522e0e0 | 10:27 |
| Photoguy | It won't work | 10:27 |
| rfxcasey | ok thanks guys I will read this Grub info | 10:28 |
| tiyowan | stefg: Interesting point. I personally haven't noticed anything odd after trying out the tweaks I mentioned. Give it a shot? :-) | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Photoguy that file is not in the directory | 10:28 |
| allsystemsarego | Photoguy, you need to cd into the directory where that file is located | 10:28 |
| Photoguy | I put it on the desktop | 10:28 |
| Photoguy | cd? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: the fact that you can't read the error message and still blindly type "make" suggests you should %100 not be doing this | 10:28 |
| === [kAISAr] is now known as Morbid | ||
| allsystemsarego | Photoguy, cd ~/Desktop | 10:29 |
| Photoguy | Ok | 10:29 |
| === Morbid is now known as djinraz | ||
| Photoguy | I saw "no directory" | 10:29 |
| Photoguy | That's not hard. | 10:29 |
| gnomefreak | ok ill be back need to finish this build :( | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Photoguy you should not be blidnly typing make on a box | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Photoguy is wbar the band width monitor you want ? | 10:30 |
| Photoguy | I'm in the terminal, I have specific instructions http://www.linux.com/feature/128982 | 10:30 |
| Photoguy | No, I just want Wbar. | 10:30 |
| riz0n | Wow, this eBox package is installing a whole bunch of stuff on here. | 10:30 |
| stefg | tiyowan, yeah sure... i'm surprised that the BCI is suddenly turned off in intrpid. since dapper ubuntu came with compiled-in and enabled BCI in libfreetype... so i blamed the new xorg version | 10:30 |
| Photoguy | Is there a better way to install? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info wbar | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Package wbar does not exist in intrepid | 10:30 |
| allsystemsarego | Photoguy, sudo apt-get install bwbar | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Photoguy the radio tool ? | 10:31 |
| riz0n | well i just lost access to my server :/ | 10:31 |
| ikonia | allsystemsarego thats a different package | 10:31 |
| psypher246 | theatrustop: does any of these output mean a problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87708/ | 10:31 |
| tiyowan | Photoguy: Wbar is a quick launch bar...any particularly reason why you can't use something else instead? | 10:31 |
| terryx | can't enable desktop effects, help me please........ | 10:31 |
| Photoguy | what's wrong with wbar? | 10:31 |
| chatty | !ccsm > terryx | 10:31 |
| ubottu | terryx, please see my private message | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Photoguy nothing, but you are not comforatable building it and could do a lot of daamage to your system | 10:32 |
| Photoguy | Ok, is there a somplace else to install it? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: there is an ubuntu package on getdeb | 10:32 |
| Photoguy | Like a .deb file? | 10:32 |
| tiyowan | Photoguy: I'm sure nothing's wrong it, but I think you need to be a bit more knowledgeable when you're compiling stuff. It could end up damaging your system. | 10:32 |
| Photoguy | Oh. | 10:32 |
| riz0n | The last line I seen on SSH before my connection was dropped is: Setting up ebox-network (0.11.99-0ubuntu1) ... | 10:32 |
| Photoguy | Ok, thanks for the warnings! | 10:32 |
| shiv_j | I am able to do sudo apt-get install mplayer but this does not show in synaptic why so? | 10:32 |
| terryx | hey chatty: help me man.. | 10:32 |
| tiyowan | terryx: What was the model of your video card again? | 10:33 |
| chatty | terryx please ask a specific question then | 10:33 |
| terryx | nvidia | 10:33 |
| allsystemsarego | Photoguy, you should stick with installing from repositories unless you're working in a sandbox | 10:33 |
| Stavros | i have a headless machine that's behaving oddly, how can i check the memory/disk? | 10:33 |
| terryx | before its was working very good n cool | 10:33 |
| ikonia | allsystemsarego it's not in the repos | 10:33 |
| terryx | but suddenly its gone | 10:33 |
| ikonia | allsystemsarego: check before suggesting random things | 10:33 |
| tiyowan | terryx: nvidia and? model? As in Radeon, Geforce etc. | 10:33 |
| terryx | geforce fx5500 | 10:34 |
| Photoguy | ikonia, wbar doesn't show up on getdeb.. | 10:34 |
| terryx | my driver already activated | 10:34 |
| chatty | terryx before what; what happened to change it | 10:34 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: mismatches look like they are all config files so maybe they got chnaged as a result of install, but ye geta 2nd opinion | 10:34 |
| terryx | i mean the problem occur today | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Photoguy must have been removed, I was reading an archive post | 10:34 |
| tiyowan | Could someone look into terryx's problem, please? I need to go on a short break. | 10:34 |
| Photoguy | Ah, bother. | 10:34 |
| terryx | and before today it was woreking fine | 10:34 |
| Photoguy | NO other way? | 10:34 |
| Photoguy | *no | 10:34 |
| apollo13 | hi, is firefox on 8.04 crashing after the http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-690-1 update for you? | 10:34 |
| Stavros | is there any way to unmount the system disk? | 10:34 |
| chatty | terryx try disabling then re-enabling | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Stavros not while it's in use | 10:35 |
| Stavros | ikonia: hmm :/ | 10:35 |
| riz0n | Anyone have any idea why eBox install would drop my network connection | 10:35 |
| Photoguy | ikonia, not other way to get the .deb or something? | 10:35 |
| bushd | I got my integrated webcam working but I'm not sure if it was due to the Xawtv or chmod (777) I did on /dev/video0. My question is can I mod /dev/video0 so I won't have to run programs accessing /dev/video0 with sudo (requiring passwords on app launches). | 10:35 |
| allsystemsarego | apollo13, you mean 3.0.5 ? | 10:36 |
| psypher246 | i was tailing /var/log/messages kern debug and syslog, not a single error when FF just crashed AGAIN!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! | 10:36 |
| b1n42y | riz0n: does it need a keep alive command maybe ? | 10:36 |
| apollo13 | allsystemsarego: jup, 3.0.5 came in via that | 10:36 |
| terryx | ITS ALREADY DISABLE | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Photoguy from where, the only on eI can find is here http://code.google.com/p/wbar/downloads/list it's for debian, but it may work depending its' dependencies | 10:36 |
| allsystemsarego | apollo13, works fine so far | 10:36 |
| terryx | its already disable | 10:36 |
| terryx | and i can't enable it | 10:36 |
| psypher246 | this is nuts, why am i wishing to be aback on windows, bad bad thoughts!!! | 10:36 |
| shiv_j | I cannot see some packages in synaptic even though they are installed via terminal. All filter is set in synaptic still... | 10:36 |
| ikonia | psypher246: run firefox from a terminal to get debugging | 10:37 |
| wiehan | ikonia: it is finished at 100& | 10:37 |
| chatty | terryx alt f2 compiz --replace | 10:37 |
| terryx | and my nvidia setting is not working as well | 10:37 |
| dimebar | psypher246: were you running it from the terminal? did it spit anything out there? | 10:37 |
| wiehan | ikonia: it is finished at 100% - What now | 10:37 |
| psypher246 | ikonia: already done that | 10:37 |
| ikonia | psypher246: it's very unlikey the kernel/syslog would care if a desktop application crashed | 10:37 |
| wiehan | sudo mdadm --detail --scan | 10:37 |
| psypher246 | no like i have said all that ever gets reporeted is :aborted | 10:37 |
| ikonia | wiehan: sudo mdadm --detail --scan | 10:37 |
| ikonia | wiehan: you got it | 10:37 |
| apollo13 | allsystemsarego: just found out some /usr/lib/firefox3.0.4 was still running, maybe that's the cause, let's try :) | 10:37 |
| dimebar | psypher246: what plugins/addons do you have? | 10:37 |
| wiehan | ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 metadata=00.90 UUID=2f5a9c35:0dc5194f:d12aac97:1c8d863e | 10:37 |
| ikonia | psypher246 are all plugins disabled | 10:38 |
| ikonia | wiehan thats more like it, | 10:38 |
| riz0n | I guess eBox isn't the way t go. | 10:38 |
| psypher246 | sorry for sdaying this stuff again, but it;s just easier: | 10:38 |
| psypher246 | I have tried safe mode, new profile, re-install ff, all plugins disabled, , disabled compiz, uninstall java, uninstall flash and a heavy system stress test. Nothing works. FF and other browsers will still randomly crash. I have started a forum post on the problem but no resolution yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6391180#post6391180. I am not the only person it seems with this issue : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990649&high | 10:38 |
| wiehan | BUT:::: the one we created earlier is making trouble: | 10:38 |
| wiehan | mdadm: bad uuid: UUID= | 10:38 |
| wiehan | mdadm: ARRAY line /dev/md0 has no identity information. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | wiehan: now put that in a file called /etc/mdadm.conf, all on line | 10:38 |
| ikonia | wiehan: forget that | 10:38 |
| allsystemsarego | apollo13, kill ff and make sure it isn't running somewhere hidden | 10:38 |
| ikonia | wiehan: that will clean up on your next reboot | 10:38 |
| wiehan | ikonia: I trust you | 10:38 |
| Photoguy | ikonia, thank you! | 10:38 |
| dimebar | psypher246: did you have flash open at the time? (flash has given me some trouble in the past) | 10:38 |
| bushd | psypher: It wouldn't be compiz -- your other applications would experience the crashing. | 10:39 |
| psypher246 | flash is not installed | 10:39 |
| psypher246 | the porblem is NOT flash | 10:39 |
| allsystemsarego | apollo13, System-Admin-SystemMonitor - End process | 10:39 |
| riz0n | I guess I should just stick with Webmin... such a shame. | 10:39 |
| bushd | Psypher are you running x86 or 64 | 10:39 |
| apollo13 | allsystemsarego: yeah that was the cause, and now I prefer the console ;) | 10:39 |
| psypher246 | 64bit | 10:39 |
| apollo13 | no* | 10:39 |
| psypher246 | and i just know i am going to spend a week getting my pc reinstalled just to havbe this issue again when i update | 10:40 |
| bushd | I didn't like 64bit myself, running 32bit on my amd64 | 10:40 |
| === AGreenCyber2 is now known as AGreenCyber | ||
| psypher246 | 64bit has been AAAWESOME till 2 weeks ago. so far intreopid 64 has been the BEST ubuntu yet on my machine | 10:40 |
| psypher246 | hardfy SUUUCKED and until intrepid 64 my pc was not nearly as fast as it shold be | 10:40 |
| bushd | Most likely it is FF or flash and I only bring up flash because I know they recently started pushing it out | 10:40 |
| hateball | Nothing wrong with 64-bit... got both Sun Java plugin and Flash for it now :) | 10:40 |
| psypher246 | hateball: excatly | 10:41 |
| blip99 | hi all, i got my 56K dial-up USB modem configured and working. I connected via Knetworkmanager.... the problem is I don't hear the pshhhh pshhhh ting tong sound while it's connecting. I have the volume set on max in the modem config (in knetworkman) as well as system volume. I really need the sound to debug my modem during travels. | 10:41 |
| terryx | NO USE | 10:41 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: have you tried konqueror | 10:41 |
| psypher246 | i have been SOO happy with intrepid 64 till last week | 10:41 |
| psypher246 | no i haven't good idea | 10:41 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: opera | 10:41 |
| riz0n | Guess i get to drive 200 miles to reboot this server that eBox install crashed. | 10:41 |
| blip99 | it's an external USB modem I mean | 10:41 |
| riz0n | Fun. | 10:41 |
| psypher246 | opera and epiphany both crash the same as FF | 10:41 |
| blip99 | 200 miles | 10:41 |
| blip99 | nice | 10:41 |
| riz0n | yeah | 10:42 |
| dimebar | psypher246: hmmm its no other programs crash just browsers? | 10:42 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: or any other pretty good replacement ... then you can slowly as a hobby without going crazy seek the answer you seek | 10:42 |
| ikonia | psypher246 have you considered the fact you may have a hardware issue, such as bad memory ? | 10:42 |
| Photoguy | It says my "administrative rights" password is wrong! I know it's right, it's the same as login, right? | 10:42 |
| dimebar | ikonia: surely that'd affect stuff other than browsers? | 10:42 |
| bushd | Psypher if multiple browsers are crashing then find out the packages they use between them. | 10:42 |
| blip99 | riz0n: can't you got someone else to reboot it ? I'm assuming it's a server at work... maybe only you have physicall access ? | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Photoguy what says that, what command ar eyou using | 10:42 |
| psypher246 | i have already stated that i have heavey system sress test, ram memtest 5 passes no errors, ran stress for 2 hours no errors | 10:42 |
| ikonia | dimebar maybe/maybe not | 10:42 |
| Photoguy | When I try to install the package.. | 10:43 |
| bushd | That will help you narrow down what could be causing the error. | 10:43 |
| Photoguy | It says that. | 10:43 |
| ikonia | dimebar: maybe a bad network card module | 10:43 |
| Photoguy | After clikcing on the .deb | 10:43 |
| wiehan | ikonia: Ok, I did that... are we done? Will GRUB be ok and instact? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: do "sudo dpkg -i $package_name.deb" from the command line in the same directory as the deb file | 10:43 |
| ikonia | wiehan: %100 dne, reboot and it should auto start | 10:43 |
| ikonia | wiehan: it's not a boot drive so grub doesn't care | 10:44 |
| ikonia | wiehan: grub is %100 untouched | 10:44 |
| Gh0stN0te | hi.all | 10:44 |
| psypher246 | ikonia: hardware is not the problem | 10:44 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: also you should take into account all logs and what was happening at time of crash as well as application specific information, do you use your computer for anything else than internet browsing ? | 10:44 |
| riz0n | well i may be able to get someone to reboot the machine later in the day, BUT if the machine doesn't come back up, I'm the only person that knows anything about it to bring it back up | 10:44 |
| amortvigil | hey do all installed debs get saved on youe pc? | 10:44 |
| ikonia | amortvigil: no | 10:44 |
| psypher246 | yes it's my work pc. i have checked messages, debug, kern, and syslog, no errors | 10:44 |
| Stavros | amortvigil: not all | 10:44 |
| riz0n | I just don't get what was going on with the eBox install that would have caused this thing to become unresponsive | 10:44 |
| bushd | Psypher Also, like someone mentioned start firefox from a terminal with firefox -g | 10:44 |
| psypher246 | the rest of the PC is fine, just ALL browsers | 10:44 |

| blip99 | eeeeeeee eeeeeeee | 10:45 |
| ikonia | psypher246: you may want to look at options such as your network card, what model is that and what kernel module isin use | 10:45 |
| ikonia | wiehan: no need for that | 10:45 |
| ikonia | psypher246: where ever YOU put it | 10:45 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: dont only look for errors, i said whats happening in logs at time of crash maybe you can cross ref | 10:45 |

| ikonia | psypher246: check your gateway, | 10:48 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: dono bro look through all of em, i havent got into logs yet, but id be looking into that, sometimes i imagine it is possible for something to initiate - work - but break something else, also what kind of internet adsl, cable? | 10:48 |
| bushd | So run firefox -g /usr/bin/gdb/crashy | 10:48 |
| ikonia | psypher246: ughh sorry again, not you | 10:48 |
| psypher246 | ikonia: ??? | 10:48 |
| psypher246 | lol\ | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Phil__: check your gateway | 10:48 |
| C0p3rn1c | ikonia: I know, but it's still pretty nice | 10:48 |
| psypher246 | b1n42y: doesn't matter i work at an isp at home i have dsl | 10:48 |
| ikonia | C0p3rn1c: try to keep this channel to relevant support please. | 10:49 |
| Phil__ | ikonia - yeah, I did, it matches the one that the rest of the computers are using | 10:49 |
| bushd | I was curious if anyone know why nm-applet has horrible problems with WPA2 GTK connections | 10:49 |
| C0p3rn1c | ikonia: ok | 10:49 |
| psypher246 | well the ojnly logs i know is message, debug, syslog, kern etc | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Phil__: check that gateway is not blocking you | 10:49 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: where does it happen ? | 10:49 |
| psypher246 | everywgere | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Phil__: check your browsers are not using a proxy or marked in "offline" mode. | 10:49 |
| kise | I am using Multidisk, is it possible to add disks to the exsiting array? | 10:49 |
| sidhrt | can anyone help with my usb hard drive problem, please? | 10:49 |
| Photoguy | Sorry ikonia, like this? adams\home\sudo dpkg -i $wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb that is where the .deb is. | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Phil__: try pinging an addresss like www.google.com from your PC then try it from another see if they behave the same | 10:49 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: oh thats easy | 10:50 |
| psypher246 | mmk? | 10:50 |
| Phil__ | ikonia:how do I check the gateway isn't blocking me? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: cd /home/adams ; sudo dpkg -i wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb | 10:50 |
| Photoguy | ok | 10:50 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: the "matrix" has decided you shouldnt have access to itself | 10:50 |
| Photoguy | Thanks! | 10:50 |
| ikonia | Phil__ speak to whoever runs your gateway | 10:50 |
| Phil__ | ikonia - browsers not an issue - its a fileserver w/ no gui | 10:50 |
| psypher246 | b1n42y: bloody neo | 10:50 |
| bushd | psypher Run the firefox debug mode that'll help figure out whats wrong | 10:51 |

| panasonysung | If I dowload and install the kernel updates, will they take over from my current custom kernel? | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Phil__: well check if you've set any blacklisting | 10:51 |
| wiehan | ikonia: can it be bexause it does not have a filesystem yet... | 10:51 |
| bushd | Run it without debug -- can you get to google? | 10:51 |

| shiv_j | plz help fix synaptic every time I add a repo I have to do sudo update-apt-xapian-index | 10:54 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: go test memory via mm86 | 10:55 |
| psypher246 | b1n42y: i did that already | 10:55 |
| bushd | psypher246: That's odd. Open firefox and addon that script blocking addon - cant remember the name right now. | 10:55 |
| psypher246 | allsystemsarego: worked fine | 10:55 |
| rww | psypher246, bushd: noscript? | 10:55 |
| psypher246 | i know which one | 10:55 |
| ShishKabab | Hi. I've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 in a virtual machine. I wanted to test my KDE4 app under Ubuntu. I've installed the libs and the app runs, but the Oxygen skin is missing. Where can I find it? | 10:55 |
| bushd | I guess so, I hated it and blocked it out mentally | 10:55 |
| Photoguy | Is this finished? ot is it still going? (Reading database ... 150971 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace wbar 1.3.3 (using wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement wbar ... Setting up wbar (1.3.3) ... | 10:56 |
| psypher246 | really don't think it will make a diff but will try anything | 10:56 |
| psypher246 | bushd: yeah dittp | 10:56 |
| psypher246 | ditto | 10:56 |
| panasonysung | ok I want to keep my system up to date but how do I revert to a previous custom kernel of mine after I download headers and kernel image files | 10:56 |
| bushd | Well, that would boil it down to parsing scripts (Java, etc) or something core like a package causing it | 10:56 |
| veltsu | My problem is with my sound card in Intrepid Ibex. It does not work no matter what I try. Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to advance? (Changing back to Windows will not be helpful) | 10:56 |
| ikonia | wiehan: just checking something | 10:56 |
| psypher246 | werid, instead of closing, konq comes up with an error page in the browser window\ | 10:56 |
| wiehan | ikonia: ok bud | 10:57 |
| psypher246 | IF ONLY I CAN TRULY RUN A DEBUG ON FIREFOX | 10:57 |
| sky_ | veltsu: try another distro :PP | 10:57 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: I would be looking into konqueror, its the only browser that acts differrently, no crash and yet you cant access google | 10:57 |
| psypher246 | sorry didn't mean to use caops | 10:57 |
| allsystemsarego | ShishKabab, it's called oxygen-cursor-theme | 10:57 |
| ikonia | wiehan no, thats the wrong file to edit | 10:57 |
| veltsu | sky, thank you. I have thought about that too. Also buying a new laptop might be an option | 10:57 |
| Photoguy | ikonia Is this finished? or is it still going? (Reading database ... 150971 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace wbar 1.3.3 (using wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement wbar ... Setting up wbar (1.3.3) ... | 10:57 |
| Vinceman | it irks me | 10:57 |
| ikonia | Photoguy you'll get a prompt back when it's finished | 10:57 |
| allsystemsarego | ShishKabab, sudo apt-get install oxygen-cursor-theme | 10:57 |
| bushd | Does Konq use Java, Flash and the like or is it W3 html only? | 10:57 |
| psypher246 | b1n42y: google worked like 2 times | 10:58 |
| wiehan | ikonia: but that file actually existed with all the proper contents... and the one you mentioned didn't exist | 10:58 |
| psypher246 | but yeah it didn't close, still no errors to work with | 10:58 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: but no crash ? | 10:58 |
| psypher246 | so yeah if anyone knows how to debug FF | 10:58 |
| psypher246 | yup | 10:58 |
| ikonia | wiehan just reading won't be a minute | 10:58 |
| ikonia | wiehan can you pastebin that file for me please | 10:58 |
| sidhrt | can anyone help with my usb hard drive problem, please? | 10:58 |
| bushd | If you ran the -g /usr/bin/gdb/crashy on firefox you should be able to open that file to debug FF | 10:58 |
| sky_ | veltsu: check your PM :P | 10:59 |
| tiyowan | !ask | sidhrt | 10:59 |
| ubottu | sidhrt: 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. :-) | 10:59 |
| tiyowan | Oops | 10:59 |
| b1n42y | well its something in your system then, if its affecting opera, FF but acts differently with firefox, is your work computer the home computer but with differeeent internet connection /> | 10:59 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: What seems to be the problem? | 10:59 |
| trwww | where is the welcome screen xml configuration file? | 10:59 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: *konqeuror | 10:59 |
| === jannes is now known as jannes2 | ||
| sidhrt | tiyowan: its not getting detected when i connect it. | 10:59 |
| === jannes2 is now known as jannes3 | ||
| psypher246 | b1n42y: yeah konq doesn't crash ut doens't give usefull error either | 11:00 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Okay. Please connect the external hard drive. Go to a terminal and type lsusb. Do you see your drive there? | 11:00 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: ya but thats the thing it gives you a clue | 11:00 |
| wiehan | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d58e10cba | 11:00 |
| ShishKabab | I've installed it but it still can't find the oxygen style | 11:00 |
| psypher246 | well it still proves that something other than FF is stuffed | 11:00 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: are we talking about just one computer or 2 | 11:00 |
| psypher246 | just one so far, too scared to run updates on my home pc, at least i can browse there | 11:01 |
| psypher246 | also intrepid 64 | 11:01 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan: how do i know its my drive? | 11:01 |
| ikonia | wiehan: ls -la /dev/md1 please | 11:01 |
| bushd | Psypher did this happen after you let something update? | 11:01 |
| ikonia | wiehan: that si the right file, ubuntu just does it differently again...... | 11:01 |
| bushd | psypher246, or rather start after an update | 11:02 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Type lsusb and paste the output into pastebin.ubuntu.com please. | 11:02 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: have you looked through bootup log | 11:02 |
| wiehan | ikonia: ls: cannot access /dev/md1: No such file or directory | 11:02 |
| psypher246 | well not sure, problem strated a week ago0 and i do updatyes as they come in. NEVER EVER DOING THAT AGAIN. too many times now ubuntu has done the microsoft update kill your computer thing | 11:02 |
| ikonia | wiehan now try /dev/md0 | 11:02 |
| bushd | I don't see why bootup log would affect browsers | 11:02 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87725/ | 11:02 |
| Photoguy | ikonia is this the prompt? normal starting command thing? adams@ubuntu:~$ | 11:03 |
| wiehan | ikonia: /dev/md0: No such file or directory | 11:03 |
| psypher246 | yeah me neither but will check | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Photoguy yes | 11:03 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: i had a problem with no internet connection on my laptop today even though i had connection to my access point, turns out it was a cluster manager i installed to muck around with | 11:03 |
| Photoguy | Ok, thanks. | 11:03 |
| Stavros | does no one here have an eee box? | 11:03 |
| wiehan | ikonia: oops, sorry i know what you meant | 11:03 |
| spunk | Hello! This morning I ran into problems when I tried to install an update for 8.04. The update manager fails with this message: "'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy-security_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'" How can I resolve this? | 11:03 |
| psypher246 | sorry Stavros, i have an eee 701 | 11:03 |
| bushd | psypher246, Well, do you allow prerelease or unsupported updates? | 11:03 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Okay. Could you try connecting the drive to another USB port and repeating the lsusb cmd to see if there's any change? | 11:04 |
| Stavros | psypher246: maybe you can help me, i need to set the flash disk as the first boot device but i have no screen | 11:04 |
| panasonysung | does anyone know if the linux-2.6.27 kernel in the repos has the security vulnerablility that they released in Intrepid Ibex? | 11:04 |
| wiehan | ikonia: nope, ls: cannot access /dev/md0: No such file or directory | 11:04 |
| b1n42y | bushd: good ? im curious also | 11:04 |
| Stavros | psypher246: can you tell me the keystrokes? the bios should be the same | 11:04 |
| psypher246 | lemlemme check | 11:04 |
| ikonia | wiehan ok, so lets try this | 11:04 |
| tiyowan | panasonysung: What security vulnerability? | 11:04 |
| psypher246 | i have backports activated | 11:04 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan; no change ... | 11:04 |
| panasonysung | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-Kernel-Vulnerability-in-Ubuntu-8-10-Update-Today-97543.shtml | 11:04 |
| allsystemsarego | panasonysung, link? | 11:04 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: at least you arent affected by yesterdays virus, hooray for linux | 11:05 |
| ikonia | wiehan: mdadm --scan | 11:05 |
| Stavros | psypher246: can i pm you? | 11:05 |
| psypher246 | what that IE thing | 11:05 |
| ikonia | wiehan: sudo mdadm --scan | 11:05 |
| bushd | The new IE vulnerability? | 11:05 |
| psypher246 | sure | 11:05 |
| b1n42y | ya | 11:05 |
| psypher246 | stavros | 11:05 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Hmm. Do you hear a noise from your drive when you connect it? And does the light turn on? | 11:05 |
| bushd | I'd uncheck the backports for updating | 11:05 |
| wiehan | ikonia: mdadm: --scan does not set the mode, and so cannot be the first option. | 11:05 |
| ikonia | wiehan: sorry --detail --scan | 11:05 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan: yes.. i hear the sound and there's a ;light. | 11:05 |
| bushd | psypher246, Also, update your computer again. | 11:06 |
| wiehan | ikonia: mdadm: metadata format 00.90 unknown, ignored. | 11:06 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Does this external drive work in another computer? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | wiehan ahh | 11:06 |
| ikonia | wiehan: from the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file remove the metadata info | 11:06 |
| psypher246 | bushd: i have, ran updates today as i saw FF updates | 11:06 |
| ikonia | wiehan: remove that wiehan | 11:06 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:06 |
| ikonia | wiehan: remove metadata=00.90 | 11:06 |
| b1n42y | psypher246: i ran those also, all is well here | 11:07 |
| bushd | psypher246, I see those FF updates | 11:07 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan: it was working fine till yesterday. only today it doesnt work.and i havent checked in other computer | 11:07 |
| wiehan | ikonia: ok... and replace it with nothing? | 11:07 |
| bushd | I haven't updated yet though | 11:07 |
| b1n42y | sleep time GL all | 11:07 |
| ikonia | yup, so it will look like num-devices=2 UUID=2f5a9c35:0dc5194f:d12aac97:1c8d863e | 11:08 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Okay. Do you have another computer available nearby to check? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | wiehan: does that make sense | 11:08 |
| bushd | psypher246, I'm installing them myself though you're on a 64bit system so you can't rule out updates causing your issue prior to the new ones. | 11:08 |
| ikonia | wiehan: just a space between the num-devices=2 and then the uuid=blah | 11:08 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan: not until sunday. | 11:08 |
| wiehan | ikonia: i removed it and saved... now whta? | 11:08 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: Do you have Windows available on this machine? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | wiehan: try another sudo mdadm --detail --scan | 11:09 |
| wiehan | ikonia: ok. did that. | 11:09 |
| bushd | psypher246, Have you tried searching to find others with the same bug and how it was fixed? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yo yo yo | 11:09 |
| sidhrt | tiyowan: no. only ubuntu. | 11:09 |
| psypher246 | i found one guy who posted something similar, a reinstall fixed his problem | 11:09 |
| wiehan | ikonia: sudo mdadm --detail --scan resulted in no output?? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | wiehan ok thats fine | 11:09 |
| bushd | Are you using synaptic to deal with the uninstall? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | wiehan: now try a reboot, lets see if /dev/mda1 gets started | 11:09 |
| tiyowan | sidhrt: I can't help you, then. I'd recommend you check out the hard drive in another computer. If it doesn't work there, then I'd try using another USB cable. If it still doesn't work, then probably your drive's fried. | 11:10 |
| ikonia | wiehan: looks like some additional info has been added to mdadm's out put that the config file doesn't like | 11:10 |
| wiehan | ikonia: ok did that.. hang on. thanks. | 11:10 |
| InitMass | i can't start firefox as user but as root it's still possible | 11:10 |
| ikonia | wiehan also comment out wiehan | 11:11 |
| ikonia | wiehan: also comment out DEVICE /dev/hdb /dev/hdc | 11:11 |
| ikonia | in the config file | 11:11 |
| bushd | psypher246, In Synaptic Package Manager find firefox and check Mark for Complete Removal, not just uninstall. | 11:11 |
| ikonia | wiehan: it's only scanning those 2 devices | 11:11 |
| ikonia | wiehan or change it to DEVICE partitions | 11:11 |
| psypher246 | done that already | 11:11 |
| psypher246 | remember this problem is not FF | 11:11 |
| gs | Hello, I am not able to read PDF files from the net. I tried Konqueror; Firefox and also opera. Can any one help me | 11:12 |
| tiyowan | psypher246: I missed your problem. Care to repeat it again? | 11:12 |
| gs | Hello, I am not able to read PDF files from the net. I tried Konqueror; Firefox and also opera. Can any one help me | 11:12 |
| bushd | psypher246, Did you run firefox -g /usr... and find the log? | 11:12 |
| psypher246 | tiyowan: Since 2 weeks ago my browser just crashes all the time. I have tried safe mode, new profile, re-install ff, all plugins disabled, , disabled compiz, uninstall java, uninstall flash and stress tested RAM, CPU, hDD. Nothing works. FF and other browsers will still randomly crash. I have started a forum post on the problem but no resolution yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6391180#post6391180.

| psypher246 | bushd: explain? | 11:12 |
| allsystemsarego | gs, install mozplugger and try again | 11:13 |
| tiyowan | gs: Use evince. | 11:13 |
| gs | where do I get that allsy | 11:13 |
| bushd | psypher246, Try running firefox -g /usr/bin/gdb/crashy | 11:13 |
| Photoguy | Avant winodws manager, but the terminal says this: adams@ubuntu:~$ | 11:13 |
| Photoguy | No! | 11:13 |
| bushd | psypher246, When it crashes go open up crashy | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: why do you keep saying that | 11:13 |
| allsystemsarego | gs, sudo apt-get install mozplugger | 11:13 |
| psypher246 | k and then? | 11:13 |
| bushd | psypher246, Thats your debug log | 11:13 |
| allsystemsarego | gs, or look for it in synaptic | 11:13 |
| Photoguy | Avant winodws manager, but the terminal says this: Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. | 11:13 |
| Photoguy | There, sorry! | 11:14 |
| tiyowan | psypher246: What version of firefox are you using? And what version of ubuntu? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: sounds like you've not got compiz enabled | 11:14 |
| psypher246 | and then what do i do, open a new ff window i'm still on the cli | 11:14 |
| InitMass | bushd, i've tried to make a complete removal of firefox but even after that it's still installed | 11:14 |
| gs | Thanks. I will try and get back. | 11:14 |
| bushd | InitMass, what's you're problem? | 11:14 |
| wiehan | ikonia: ok.. did that... changed to DEVICE partitions (with 's' on end - plurarl) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | ahh well spotted | 11:15 |
| ikonia | wiehan: have you rebooted ? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Webspot: well spotted it should have been partitions | 11:15 |
| psypher246 | tiyowan: intrepid and 3.0.4, could be 3.0.5 aftre this morning | 11:15 |
| InitMass | bushd, firefox can't start as user but only as root. i've tried to remove the firefox user dir, still not working. i then tried to make a complete removal but firefox is still there | 11:15 |
| wiehan | ikonia: rebooting | 11:16 |
| bushd | InitMass, It sounds like firefox file(s) need to be chmodded is all | 11:16 |
| InitMass | bushd, how? | 11:17 |
| imaginativeone | I have an mp3. how do I save it as an audio cd? | 11:17 |

| === sleepy_cat is now known as warrior_du_dead | ||
| tiyowan | psypher246: Um, have you tried "complete removal" from synaptic? | 11:17 |
| psypher246 | yes | 11:17 |
| allsystemsarego | imaginativeone, try mp3burn | 11:18 |
| InitMass | tiyowan, that didn't work for me. it's still there after the removal | 11:18 |
| gs | It did not work. I am still getting the dialog box. It is a PDF file. OPEN WITH and I am not able to associate any prog with it | 11:18 |
| imaginativeone | allsystemsarego: thanks | 11:18 |
| allsystemsarego | trwww, System-Prefs-Appearance-VisualEffects | 11:19 |
| tiyowan | InitMass: Check out what bushd wrote. You've got a permissions problem with your firefox files. | 11:19 |
| wiehan | ikonia: rebooted | 11:19 |
| ikonia | wiehan: how we looking ? | 11:19 |
| gs | allsystemsarego: It did not work. I am still getting the dialog box. It is a PDF file. OPEN WITH and I am not able to associate any prog with it | 11:19 |
| bushd | I was trying to find out where the file resided | 11:19 |
| InitMass | tiyowan, that still doesn't explain why i can't uninstall it | 11:19 |
| wiehan | ikonia: I'm too afraid to do anything without the word from you | 11:20 |
| allsystemsarego | gs, in FF, go to Edit-Preferences-Applications | 11:20 |
| ikonia | wiehan well, cat /proc/mdstat is always safe | 11:20 |
| bushd | InitMass, Basically you need to read man chmod and then find where the firefox file is and change it. | 11:20 |
| allsystemsarego | gs, locate the PDF entry and change the associated action | 11:20 |
| wiehan | ikonia: md1 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1] LOOKS GOOD | 11:20 |
| ikonia | wiehan tahts more like it | 11:20 |

| syberjj | ActionParsnip1 - hey again mate, i did all that, didnt work. i can post the error log if u want to, but i dont know what to learn from it myself | 11:55 |
| quizme | is totem the way to go ? | 11:55 |
| InitMass | ActionParsnip1, i'll try to download from mozilla.org | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | syberjj: i have no idea man, i share the other way which is a breeze | 11:56 |
| Monkier2 | question- anyone been able to activate the advanced view of the catalyst control center for nvidia graphics cards? | 11:56 |
| Monkier2 | the card runs kind of hot at auto fan speed, it makes me nerverous | 11:56 |
| syberjj | ActionParsnip1 - you use ubuntu as the host? does it work fine? what kind of printer do u have? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | InitMass: sudo apt-get install apt-build; sudo apt-build update; sudo apt-build install firefox-3.0 | 11:56 |
| Monkier2 | why did i type nvidia | 11:56 |
| Monkier2 | i meant ati | 11:56 |
| bushd | InitMass, so synaptic thinks you've still got packages around that aren't there? | 11:57 |
| InitMass | ActionParsnip1, does that mean i will build the firefox package? | 11:57 |
| _pants_ | riz0n do a ps -ef |grep pts\/1 then kill the lowest process ID in the 2nd column ( kill 1234 ) | 11:57 |
| quizme | how do i upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 if i have 8.04 now ? | 11:57 |
| blame | Ubuntu installed nvidia drivers and they are not working? Why ask me when they cripple my computer? http://pastebin.ca/1288531 | 11:57 |
| NEOeclipse | damn guess my burner dont like 4x | 11:58 |
| _pants_ | and if it wont die, kill -9 1234 | 11:58 |
| NEOeclipse | burned @ 8x | 11:58 |
| NEOeclipse | burning* | 11:58 |
| InitMass | bushd, if i use the add/remove menu then it will try to remove the -branding package and firefox is depending on that one to i have to use synaptic to remve it | 11:58 |
| InitMass | bushd, i'll try to download and install from mozilla.org | 11:58 |
| bushd | InitMass, Remove those dep. packages then | 11:59 |
| Monkier2 | man, the alpha version of opera is awesome | 11:59 |
| Monkier2 | faster than google chrome | 12:00 |
| Monkier2 | higher acid3 test result than firefox | 12:00 |
| riz0n | _pants_ thanks for the info | 12:00 |
| bushd | InitMass, then try to reinstall. I don't know why there would be an issue but some of the things I've heard about in here are far more odd. | 12:00 |
| _pants_ | np | 12:00 |
| riz0n | and that did it :) | 12:00 |
| _pants_ | processes fork from one, so when you or someone starts a new pty, the process "tree" forks out. killing the lowest PID kills the very top, and all the children die with it | 12:01 |
| abarai_renji | hi, does anyone know an url for compatible joystick in ubuntu 8.10 | 12:01 |
| bushd | abarai_renji, PS3 remote controller :D | 12:01 |
| riz0n | well the session was sitting at bash prompt and was idle | 12:01 |
| InitMass | bushd, ActionParsnip1 think i've found someting now. tried to run to run the package from mozilla.org and changed the owner to the user i'm running as on the package. still can't run as user but root is working. that was when running ./firefox . running ./firefox-bin resulted in "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" for both user and root | 12:01 |
| quizme | does anybody know how to install codecs to view mp4 files on Ubuntu 8.04 ? | 12:02 |

| _pants_ | ps axjf gives a neato tree | 12:02 |
| tiyowan | InitMass: Your ff problem still isn't fixed yet? | 12:02 |
| _pants_ | lol | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | InitMass: i'd try apt-build | 12:02 |

| Flumdahl | when i try to install ubuntu from a usb-stick ... why does it complain about there is no cd in the cd drive? | 12:04 |
| InitMass | tiyowan, no | 12:04 |
| bushd | InitMass, possibly because you're running firefox sans package dependencies being met (packager takes care of that for you) | 12:04 |
| Flumdahl | unetbootin have i used to make my usb stick with the installation | 12:05 |
| hoelk | hi i need some help... i just plugged in a new soundcard.. what do i have to do that ubuntu recognizes it? | 12:05 |
| SpeCon | Is there any function in ubuntu or does there exist any software to get a dia presentation off my pictures on my desktop? For example on apple osx you can now have photo flashes on your desktop while your working. I mean no screensaver but just when you are working the background off your desktop changes all the time with different pictures that i selected? | 12:05 |
| NightDragon | When inserting an item into a linked list, having two pointers prevents having to pay attention to which of the following? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | solocommand: i had some in kde4.2 it wouldnt accept password to get back to desktop, switched to fluxbox, job done | 12:05 |
| NightDragon | i think the answer is "the sequence of operations" | 12:05 |
| NightDragon | you can theroretically add a node with just one pointer, but the order of things would be very important in that case | 12:05 |
| tiyowan | hoelk: Type lspci | grep audio and check whether it shows up, I think? | 12:05 |
| NightDragon | lest you dont want to lose your mem location | 12:06 |
| NightDragon | but if you have two pointers | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SpeCon: you can set your desktop wallpaper as a slideshow | 12:06 |
| solocommand | eh, it seems to be that it just doesn't start; no fade out or anything after the time limit. | 12:06 |
| NightDragon | then things are easily rewired | 12:06 |
| NightDragon | ....right? | 12:06 |
| InitMass | bushd, tiyowan ActionParsnip1 i noticed that firefox had an old process running. after killing that nothing happens when i try to start firefox as user. before i got that window at least | 12:06 |

| obonds | Is this compatible? google just gives noise on the issue | 12:07 |
| Slart | obonds: yes | 12:07 |
| obonds | amd64 is the filename of the 64 8.10 download | 12:08 |
| obonds | why is it named incorrectly then? | 12:08 |
| _pants_ | SpeCon: not that i know of. you could do some hokey looping script that changes it at random every minute but it wouldn't be fancy at all | 12:08 |
| tiyowan | Heh. | 12:08 |
| catmando | can someone recommend a tablet that has good compatibility with Linux? | 12:08 |
| Slart | obonds: it's just called amd64 as some kind of homage to AMD for creating the first consumer 64 bit chip or something like that | 12:08 |

| tiyowan | shikshik: Whatever my tax attorney recommends. | 12:18 |

| tiyowan | chilli0: Hmm, I can't find any reports on that model being tested with Intrepid. But you may experience some problems with your headphone jack and wireless card. The wireless issue has a fix; but no luck on the headphone jack issue. Hope this helps. | 12:24 |
| sinbox | if I want to gt rid of the splash screen on bootup do I need to remove just "splash" from the entry or "ro quiet splash"? | 12:24 |

| Roger_ | what's that xfce desktop like | 12:27 |
| solocommand | what is the super button under compizconfig? | 12:27 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Well. Hibernation/suspend. Annoying internal speaker beeps. A spot of wireles trouble. And a ATI video problem which is a known bug. But it was *well* worth it, I can say that. :-) | 12:28 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan so the wireless didnt work ? | 12:29 |
| tiyowan | Roger_: You can install it if you're using Ubuntu. Install the xubuntu-desktop package. | 12:29 |
| revilodraw | i have 64bit ubuntu, and want flash cos youtube wont work. what do i do? | 12:29 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Oh the wireless worked fine. The problem was that everytime I went into suspend, the connection would be lost. Like I said, just minor annoyances and problems. | 12:30 |
| chilli0 | ah ok | 12:31 |
| vegombrei | hi whats super ubuntu ?? | 12:31 |

| JokeR- | Neaai install 6.06 and then upgraded | 12:35 |
| Vinceman | I hear TWO people say they only make games for windows and MAC | 12:35 |
| Vinceman | but warcraft II was the ultimate game | 12:36 |
| Vinceman | it was the best game ever | 12:36 |
| laeg | solocommand: so i'd have a dir in home that was the large disk? couldn't i make so that in my home dir whenever i clicked on videos or music etc it would link me there? | 12:36 |
| Vinceman | hey wait, somebody was quoting someone | 12:36 |
| solocommand | laeg: probably, just use those folders as the mount point for the disk | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Vinceman: id software make a tonne of games | 12:36 |

| kbrooks | badserii, pidof wine | 12:41 |
| kbrooks | badserii, that returns what? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gsamsa: the make and model means very little, its the make / model of the soundcard according to lspci that matters | 12:42 |

| jim_p | paez, no. not resolution, graphics card! | 12:43 |
| gsamsa | ActionParsnip1: the link didn't help | 12:43 |
| Neaai | solocommand: no. As far as I know that limit is 4G | 12:44 |
| badserii | kbrooks: The problem solved! I had a backup. Thank you all! | 12:44 |
| jim_p | solocommand, in short yes, but i guess you mean for more that 4GB | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gsamsa: ok then you can websearch that some with respect to audio coming out of both devices | 12:44 |
| kbrooks | badserii, can i help though? | 12:44 |

| tiyowan | tsk, tsk. No patience at all. | 12:44 |
| jim_p | solocommand, then you need to go 64 bit | 12:45 |

| kristian1 | dumb question: in the future when i do a refresh install of ubuntu on sda1, should i unmount sdb1 from the directory i have mounted it to before, to keep my data/storage files safe? or does this have nothing to do with each other? just want to make sure i don't lose data on sdb1. then when i have installed ubuntu on sda1 i will just mount it again, and my data should be untouched. | 12:45 |
| Neaai | it's the education era of "I want all to be ready made for me while I take my time to jack off" | 12:45 |
| kbrooks | badserii, pidof <app> or ps aux | grep app | 12:45 |
| Slart | solocommand: it's a 32-bit thing.. | 12:45 |
| magical | hi, if I use envy to install the nvidia driver on gutsy, will that install the newest available release from the nvidia site? | 12:45 |
| Slart | solocommand: you need to either use PAE (which I think is kind of slow) or go 64bit | 12:46 |
| badserii | kbrooks: thanks for hint. One more lesson for me! | 12:46 |
| Slart | magical: I think it will install the one that envy-ng was release with | 12:46 |
| kbrooks | badserii, now, (the pid for the latter command is the 1st number) you need to go to /proc/<pid>/ | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magical: it'll install the newet envy driver, you will also have to upgrade the envy driver if you upgrade your kernel | 12:46 |
| gizmo_ | hello | 12:46 |
| paez | ubuntu 8.10 LTS stuck when loading??how to fix it?? | 12:46 |

| jim_p | paez, cant you access the os? | 12:46 |
| solocommand | Slart: Thanks | 12:47 |
| bastid_raZor | kristian1; you wouldn't need to unmount it, your other partitions would be untouched unless you specify otherwise in the install | 12:47 |
| toxicvomit | the visual effects stopped working!!! help what do i do | 12:47 |
| tiyowan | paez: More specifics please. Where does it hang? On the splash screen? | 12:47 |
| magical | ActionParsnip1, is that the newest nvidia one though? I have to use envy legacy because i'm using gutsy, which is quite an old release, so i don't wanna use it if it'll install the driver that was current when envy legacy came out | 12:47 |
| kbrooks | badserii, then to task/<pid>/fd | 12:47 |
| paez | yes...it must enter any key to continue | 12:47 |
| kbrooks | badserii, ls -l in there | 12:47 |
| NEOeclipse | geez i might just have to take a nap while waiting on this install, lol | 12:47 |
| kristian1 | bastid_raZor : ok, that's what i thought, but i had to make sure. :-) thanks! :-) | 12:47 |
| paez | yup..on splash screen | 12:47 |
| jim_p | paez, at a terminal type lspci | grep VGA | 12:48 |
| casper_ | does anyone know how to fix my video card? i shut ubuntu 8.10 down before proper closing down | 12:48 |
| tiyowan | paez: Tried booting into recovery mode? | 12:48 |
| kbrooks | badserii, notice thaat there are symbolic links that refer to the actual file. the trick here is that these links ARE the actual file | 12:48 |
| casper_ | i get messages like, [ fglrx ] Reserved FB block: Unshared offset: ff7300, size: 88000 | 12:48 |
| jim_p | casper_, what gpu is it? | 12:48 |
| casper_ | radeon 2400hd | 12:48 |
| toxicvomit | it was working fine the last time, today when i started my pc i noticed that the visual effects where turned off, so i try to turn them on again, it says "Desktop effects could not be enabled" | 12:48 |
| paez | yup... | 12:48 |
| casper_ | it worked just 2 days ago | 12:48 |
| jim_p | casper_, ati + fglrx ? | 12:48 |
| badserii | kbrooks: yes, I see! | 12:48 |
| Slart | magical: I'm not sure you should be using the old envy.. it was kind of bad.. could mess up your entire system and so on | 12:48 |
| kbrooks | badserii, so you can do something like cat number > /original/path/ | 12:48 |
| odog777 | whats up | 12:49 |
| solocommand | toxicvomit: restart? check video driver? | 12:49 |
| kbrooks | badserii, and you've just recovered the file from app memory! | 12:49 |
| odog777 | is there anything going down in her? | 12:49 |
| toxicvomit | i tried restarting | 12:49 |
| odog777 | here | 12:49 |
| toxicvomit | how do i | 12:49 |
| jim_p | casper_, i get similar messages in dmesg, but it does boot for me | 12:49 |
| casper_ | jim_p, i first see xfce panel for 1 second, after that its just the backdrop and the mouse | 12:49 |
| toxicvomit | check video driver | 12:49 |
| casper_ | ok | 12:49 |
| badserii | kbrooks: It works like magic! Thank you!!!! | 12:49 |
| Slart | toxicvomit: check this website.. download the compiz-check script and run it.. it might tell you what's wrong http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check | 12:49 |
| paez | its the same in recovery mode..must press any key to continue | 12:49 |
| toxicvomit | k | 12:49 |
| jim_p | casper_, how did you install fglrx? | 12:49 |
| toxicvomit | i'll try that | 12:50 |
| casper_ | just via the graphical interface with the 'restricted drivers' window | 12:50 |
| tiyowan | paez: Really dumb question. It still remains hanged when you press any key to coninue right? | 12:50 |

| odie5533 | How do I find differences in a binary file? | 12:51 |
| aprilhare | paex: how so? | 12:51 |
| bastid_raZor | odie5533; you could try diff file1 file2 | 12:51 |
| Slart | odie5533: not sure if diff will handle binary.. I think it does | 12:51 |
| Slart | odie5533: or you could make a hex dump with "hex" and diff that instead | 12:52 |
| paez | no | 12:52 |
| casper_ | jim_p, yes. but it went fullscreen in 640x480 - i didn't see it untill i moved with my mouse to left top corner. | 12:52 |
| allsystemsarego | odie5533, xdelta or vbindiff | 12:52 |

| dns53 | ronj sendmail | 12:52 |
| ronj | dns53, thanks, looking at it | 12:52 |
| Neaai | dns53: are you sure he needs a full fledged mta ? | 12:53 |
| Neaai | that's sort of overkill | 12:53 |
| paez | no...im do it with myself.. | 12:53 |
| dns53 | yes he does, but once setup it is what he needs | 12:53 |
| paez | my brother is not here | 12:53 |
| paez | everything he can help me | 12:53 |
| Neaai | dns53: ronj: then stay away from sendmail. Use any other mta (exim, postfix) but sendmail | 12:54 |
| ronj | indeed, I have no big needs. just publicizing a personal project to friends/colleagues | 12:54 |
| casper_ | jim_p, that was when i did a ctrl+alt+bksp first | 12:54 |
| ronj | approx 500persons | 12:54 |
| ronj | one mail | 12:54 |
| jim_p | casper_, do you get to a login prompt? or everything stops at the errors? | 12:54 |
| paez | i love ubuntu...maybe i will back into 8.04 | 12:54 |
| dns53 | fair enough, i have not configured it but you will need a mta | 12:54 |

| keres | that's how i figured out they were messing up | 12:55 |
| jim_p | yeryry, you can ls them by size | 12:55 |
| JokeR- | Neaai it wrote me back "/etc/x11/xorg.conf/ no such file or directory | 12:56 |

| casper_ | jim_p, no, i do get a gdm, but i have autologin on since it's my "PC". i don't see the msgs normally, only when i go to alt+f1 and read logs. what i do get when i login: first it seems to init nicely with xfce-panel coming up, then after a few seconds - it can't show nothing more than the backdrop and, the mouse cursor. cursor does move with my mouse but that's it. | 12:56 |
| keres | these files appear on my desktop, but when i try to perform an action with them it always says 'error: file does not exist' | 12:56 |
| Neaai | JokeR-: hmmm. In a graphical setup there has to be a /etc/x11/xorg.conf as it's the X system configuration file. | 12:57 |
| tiyowan | keres: What type of files are they? Names? | 12:57 |
| yeryry | dns53: thanks.. I was expecting to need to use grep or something, but that's better | 12:57 |

| ubottu | Kate4382: 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 | 12:57 |

| casper_ | jim_p, can i remove that option from console i'd like to try it :) | 12:58 |
| Neaai | JokeR-: tough. So you have to reboot twice for any checks ? | 12:58 |
| JokeR- | bastid_raZor :) wrote it whit small letter | 12:58 |

| jim_p | casper_, you said you have autologin? | 12:58 |
| Neaai | JokeR-: exactly like that | 12:58 |

| JokeR- | bastid_raZor how it should be written X11 or x11 | 12:59 |
| Neaai | JokeR-: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver Exactly like this right ? | 12:59 |
| allsystemsarego | keres, if you want CLI then sudo | 12:59 |
| ronj | Neaai, dns53, indeed, both sendmail and exim are far beyond my needs. actually what I need is something similar to the Outlook mailing assistant. provides you a double column table to fill, you insert customized fields in the message body, and voila.

| Slart | omzig: ask the author.. he didn't make a linux version | 13:15 |
| war10ck | apt-get install mirc | 13:15 |
| solocommand | same deal tiyo, selecting compiz from the fusion icon wont let me use more than one row of desktops, reloading it allows it but disables all effects. :/ | 13:15 |

| allsystemsarego | keres right-clicking in nautilus and deleting is the safer way | 13:16 |

| JokeR- | Neaai so? | 13:16 |
| Cakarakoo | Neaai, the DSL router is provided by our ISP provider; We have static IP, and it is working properly, however we have another router (Lynksys) that we want to set up in order to get the WAN IP (as if the first router was working in brige mode) | 13:16 |
| keres | allsystemsarego: i couldn't delete in nautilus. the file did not show up. | 13:16 |

| war10ck | alt - edit options | 13:19 |
| Slart | omzig: I don't think xchat comes with an ident server | 13:19 |
| Neaai | Cakarakoo: so summed up, you want to switch the actual router that has the public ip and is currently doilg NAT, with another dsl router that you have in bridge mode and thus get the public ip directly to the ubuntu box. Am I wrong ? | 13:19 |
| omzig | slart : so i cant runing my bnc account using ubuntu? | 13:19 |

| Neaai | JokeR-: I usually suggest fresh install over upgrades when it comes to desktop systems. Some say if you want to upgdade from release 1 to release 3 for eg, you must go the way 1 -> 2 and then 2 -> 3 Yet, it's much easier if you bachup somewhere your /home/username/ folder (and all the other folders where you have stored your data), do a fresh install, and then restore the folder(s) again. | 13:29 |

| suriro | how can I set AltGr key to act like Alt? | 13:37 |
| jrib | tiyowan: he says he has sound at gdm, so I don't think it's hardware related | 13:37 |
| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip1: hey dude, there? | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | remoteCTRsup bro | 13:37 |
| remoteCTR1 | ayeah:) | 13:37 |
| tiyowan | jrib: Correct. Any ideas? I found two threads on the forums, but they're unresolved. | 13:38 |

| remoteCTR1 | Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 any ideas on that? | 13:38 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: the easiest test to do: add another user to your system and see if you have sound when you logon as that new user. | 13:38 |

| tiyowan | Neaai: He tried that already. No go. | 13:38 |
| jrib | Stephen|Edibles: also, have you rebooted since this first happened and did it happen right away again? ie no sound on login? | 13:38 |
| Stephen|Edibles | jrib, : Have rebooted, I get a sound as the login screen appears but no sounds once logged in | 13:39 |
| jrib | Stephen|Edibles: pastebin: ps -ef | grep pulse | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | remoteCTR1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config not sshd_config | 13:40 |
| tiyowan | Stephen|Edibles: Uh-oh. The threads I dug up relate to the Audigy card. | 13:40 |
| jrib | tiyowan: not really. pulse flakes out on me sometimes and I have to kill -9 some pulse process for my user and login again, but this doesn't seem to be that | 13:40 |
| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip1: both of them | 13:40 |
| Neaai | tiyowan: and I suppose he granted that new user the rights to use audio too. To what I know, those rights are automatically assigned to the first user from the installer, while the manually added ones need also those permitions set manually. | 13:40 |
| bluey | hi, i just got an ipod touch and it wont work bcoz it needs itunes and itunes wont install through wine........ can anyone help me with this problem ? | 13:40 |

| jrib | Neaai: we didn't check that | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | remoteCTR1: could try: sudo rm ~/Xautority* | 13:41 |
| tiyowan | Stephen|Edibles: Wait one. Searching some more on the forums. | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | remoteCTR1: log off, then log in, then try ssh to the box | 13:41 |
| jrib | bluey: yes, you are correct. What you can do is jailbreak it and use ssh. Otherwise, apple put a new hash on the library file that hasn't been reverse engineered yet, so software on linux can't work with your library. Tell apple you don't like this. | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | remoteCTR1: all this on the box you are connecting to | 13:42 |
| ASULutzy | remoteCTR did you figure out your problem? You may have to edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config, if that's set correctly, do what Action said :) | 13:42 |
| Neaai | jrib: Could he see if he has that new user in the audio group? I'm sure his first user is part of that group already but I doubt this is true for his second, later added, user. | 13:42 |
| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip1: already changed that .Xauthority permissions but havent tried to completely remove it yet, think that'll have an impact? | 13:42 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip1: you mean ~/.Xauthority ? | 13:42 |
| jrib | Neaai: go for it | 13:42 |
| bluey | jrib can u send me some links where i can read up on all this? | 13:42 |
| ASULutzy | remoteCTR1: Yea, you can rm it, (this on the server) | 13:43 |
| tiyowan | Forums are showing kernel bug reports for that sound card. | 13:43 |
| jrib | bluey: on jailbreaking you mean? | 13:43 |

| bluey | yes | 13:43 |

| remoteCTR1 | jrib: never mind i understood him;) | 13:44 |
| tiyowan | Stephen|Edibles: I'm with you, buddy, running some searches. Give me a couple of minutes. | 13:44 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: you login as the first user, go to users and groups management and add the second user to the "audio" group. Logout and then login as the second user, and see what you have, if you do have sound or not. If your sound works in gdm, it's not hardware/driver trouble. That trouble would NOT give you any sound at all. | 13:44 |

| tiyowan | Stephen|Edibles: I'm still digging. Follow Neaai's instructions and see if that works. | 13:47 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: that's in bare lines what you have to do to check properly the sound for your system. To be sure, even try to add another 3rd user and use that, to be sure you start from defaults. | 13:47 |
| ASULutzy | onats: If you want the full desktop, VNC | 13:48 |
| onats | ASULutzy, which vnc in particular? | 13:48 |

| ASULutzy | onats: Ok, well, yea, there's always VNC, just want to make sure you know about ssh -CX | 13:49 |
| ASULutzy | onats: that would forward the X output from the server, so if you do ssh -CX the.server.ip.address and then do like firefox | 13:49 |
| ASULutzy | it'll forward the GUI stuff from the server to your client | 13:49 |
| onats | ASULutzy, what's the CX flag stand for? | 13:49 |
| ASULutzy | onats: X is for forward X output, C is for compress it before you send it | 13:50 |

| Neaai | tiyowan: so that can be something with the driver of the audio card? It seems like that from the post you showed me. | 13:51 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: switching should do too. | 13:52 |
| tiyowan | Vinceman: Type lsb_release -a to find out. | 13:52 |
| tiyowan | Neaai: I'm finding a lot of unresolved threads on that particular card on the 'net. From different distros as well. I'm out of ideas. | 13:53 |
| tiyowan | Neaai: But what you wrote it correct, if the login sounds play, then it shouldn't be a hardware problem. | 13:53 |

| Stephen|Edibles | (My headphones were turned up full.) | 13:53 |
| Stephen|Edibles | Okay, so do I just add my normal user to audio now, logout/login and see if that works? | 13:54 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: and what when you logout again from the new users, and login again as the original first user ? | 13:54 |
| tiyowan | Stephen|Edibles: Hey, that's great! | 13:54 |
| Stephen|Edibles | Neaai, tiyowan : Note the original user still has no sound! | 13:54 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: normally, the first user must be already part of the audio group. The installer should have taken care of that | 13:55 |
| Neaai | Stephen|Edibles: yet nothing stops you from confirming this. | 13:55 |
| Stephen|Edibles | Neaai, : I wasnt. I had to create the 'audio' group. Let me try adding my normal user to it | 13:55 |

That means that while the system is ok, how the situation is depends how each user configures their own part of the settings. It's the only explanation why user1 lacks sound while user2 and user3 have sound ok. | 14:05 |

| DarkKnight | hey can anyone give me a solution which i posted at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014856&highlight=aptoncd+update+database | 14:22 |
| jim_p | bahadunn, your answer judges my anser to the 2st question | 14:23 |
| jim_p | *1st | 14:23 |
| adam7 | DarkKnight: did you add the CD as a repo in synaptic? | 14:23 |
| Vinceman | all new applications are good, they have been thought about and they are in perfect working order | 14:23 |
| soundari | Hi | 14:24 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: yes wired only | 14:24 |
| ed0n0n | what does the Ubuntu Alternate CD Image do? | 14:24 |
| Anarh | hi, how can i recover files which have been lost from the ext3 partition | 14:25 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: is wicd a replacement for network manager? | 14:25 |
| adam7 | ed0n0n: gives you a command line (text based) installer | 14:25 |
| Anarh | !recover | 14:25 |
| adam7 | bahadunn: it is | 14:25 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 14:25 |
| dtansey | suggestions for network analysis? I would like to know who (IP) is using bandwidth on my network in a given capture period. | 14:25 |
| jim_p | bahadunn, then you dont need a network manager or wicd! gnome network thing can handle wired perfectly | 14:25 |
| hovse | #ubuntu-pl | 14:25 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: I use manual network config in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:25 |
| ed0n0n | adam7: would it be helpfull for installing a sistem with no network and 256 of RAM? | 14:25 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: been using debian too long I guess | 14:25 |
| adam7 | ed0n0n: it would be faster, but the LiveCD should work fine on that, though | 14:26 |
| GNUtoo | hello is the JMicron 363 chipset(sata) supported by the last ubuntu? | 14:26 |
| soundari | try xubuntu. will work on 256mb ram | 14:26 |
| jim_p | bahadunn, well since you already use the ultimate solution of network configuration, remove network manager! sudo apt-get autoremove network-manager | 14:26 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: okay | 14:27 |
| jim_p | bahadunn, and you fell from debian to ubuntu? | 14:27 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: no | 14:27 |
| jim_p | then? | 14:27 |
| soundari | are you looking for linux terminal project | 14:27 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: still use debian | 14:27 |
| ed0n0n | adam7: I tried to but CD might be scratched, and have burned another. Last time stoped 54%, I hope this time it will finish and install Grub succesfully- | 14:27 |
| * tiyowan grins. | 14:27 | |
| Stephen|Edibles | Okay, this is confusing me to hell and back. At a terminal : "sudo visudo sudoers". This should let me edit sudoers... but all it does is spit back the usage line. | 14:27 |
| greencookie | how do i get kdm to fire up automatically on boot? also how do I start kdm from command-line without using 'sudo'? | 14:27 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: I like ubuntu cause it gives me everything I want in a nice package for a desktop workstation | 14:27 |
| adam7 | Stephen|Edibles: try just visudo /etc/sudoers | 14:27 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: I use debian everywhere else and freebsd | 14:28 |
| epcom | hi | 14:28 |
| onats | i love my quad core!:D | 14:28 |
| onats | suweet! | 14:28 |
| matic | anyone who knows of a proxy-server script to clear cache automatically | 14:28 |
| Stephen|Edibles | adam7: Nope, spits back the usage line | 14:28 |
| greencookie | onats: i want one too :) | 14:28 |
| ed0n0n | is hardy 8.04 or 8.04.1 better for using with old computers? | 14:28 |
| adam7 | Stephen|Edibles: sorry, it's just sudo visudo (man visudo for more questions :) | 14:28 |
| rdz | giganto, start mc: open a terminal and enter 'mc' | 14:28 |
| jim_p | bahadunn, i hate that package! i want to put every app and configuration by myself and not let some stupid mechanism (eg network manager) take over | 14:28 |
| soundari | search in google you will get proxy server cache clear script | 14:29 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: yeah I know what you mean | 14:29 |
| greencookie | anyone know how to start kdm from command line? was it something like 'init.d/kdm start'? | 14:29 |
| adam7 | ed0n0n: neither is better, it depends what you want | 14:29 |
| Stephen|Edibles | adam7: Ah, ta. | 14:29 |
| matic | ed0n0n, use hardy 8.04, it a bit strong | 14:29 |
| adam7 | greencookie: /etc/init.d/kdm start | 14:29 |
| greencookie | adam7: gracias! | 14:29 |
| scientes | is there any way to see why my computer just crashed? | 14:29 |
| Anarh | hi i really need help, i was working with my usb drive and computer crashed and i lost tons of files | 14:29 |
| tiyowan | scientes: System logs. | 14:29 |
| jim_p | scientes, dmesg | tail maybe? | 14:29 |
| adam7 | scientes: /var/log/kernel.log | 14:30 |
| ed0n0n | adam7, matic : I will use 8.04 and else will try with Xubuntu, Thank you :) | 14:30 |
| greencookie | adam7: it still wants root to run it.. | 14:30 |
| tiyowan | scientes: System -> Admin. -> System Log | 14:30 |
| adam7 | greencookie: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart ? | 14:30 |
| scientes | i understand system logs | 14:30 |
| greencookie | adam7: i don't want to log in as root..ill try that however since i have no choice rite now | 14:30 |
| adam7 | greencookie: you can't start kdm unless you are root | 14:31 |
| adam7 | greencookie: if you use sudo you don't have to login as root | 14:31 |
| soundari | you can use ubuntu rescue remix to get your files. one more way is using live cd | 14:31 |
| scientes | eyah theres nothing | 14:31 |
| tiyowan | Shouldn't you use gksudo to start kdm? | 14:31 |
| scientes | it just hard froze | 14:31 |
| adam7 | tiyowan: no, because kdm is the display manager | 14:31 |
| scientes | which reading wikipedia | 14:31 |
| tiyowan | adam7: Ah. :) | 14:31 |
| adam7 | tiyowan: gksudo opens a gtk dialog box which won't be able to run if you don't have a display :P | 14:31 |
| greencookie | adam7: that worked. thank you :) | 14:32 |
| eraggo | good evening. How i can remove pop-up that comes when amarok changes song? | 14:32 |

| wiijii | Afternoon all, has anyone used PSAD at all? | 14:33 |
| wiijii | I could do with a quick hand if possible | 14:33 |

| jim_p | eraggo, you are welcome | 14:34 |
| eraggo | this is reason that i love open-source community :) | 14:34 |
| jim_p | eraggo, fast responces? | 14:35 |
| eraggo | yerr.. | 14:35 |
| eraggo | how long that should spend for microsoft? | 14:35 |
| bahadunn | jim_p: ubuntu is pretty nice besides network-manager though | 14:35 |
| eraggo | solution that won't work and week after problem | 14:35 |
| jim_p | eraggo, well dont ask at ms, ask at people in general (forums, irc) | 14:36 |
| wiijii | Can someone give me some help with iptables/PSAD and logging of unsolicited icmp packets please? | 14:36 |
| eraggo | jim_p you screw joke :S | 14:36 |
| eraggo | screwed* | 14:36 |
| wiijii | Most of it is fine but IPtables doesn't seem to be logging INVALID packets, although it is dropping them | 14:37 |
| jim_p | eraggo, i am terribly sorry :'( | 14:37 |
| eraggo | : | 14:37 |
| me | hi | 14:37 |
| eraggo | :D* | 14:37 |
| bahadunn | wiijii: use shorewall | 14:37 |
| wiijii | no thanks | 14:37 |
| me | how are u all | 14:37 |
| wiijii | The setup I have is working fine apart from logging. Presumably a mistake on my part somewhere | 14:37 |
| jim_p | me, so and so | 14:37 |
| verflixt1234 | hello im stuck in the ubuntu installation | 14:38 |
| bahadunn | wiijii: okay well iptables makes my head hurt | 14:38 |
| eraggo | verflixt1234: how? | 14:38 |
| bazhang | verflixt1234, which part | 14:38 |
| verflixt1234 | i dont see and partitions in the partition manager | 14:38 |
| verflixt1234 | any | 14:38 |
| wiijii | I'm just learning about it, it's pretty intuitive really | 14:38 |
| verflixt1234 | but cat /proc/partitions works | 14:38 |
| wiijii | Although... maybe not intuitive enough, hence my problem, heh | 14:38 |
| eraggo | uh o.O | 14:38 |
| bahadunn | wiijii: I think #iptables would be a better fit for your question | 14:38 |

| JokeR- | hello i have a sound problem. "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" | 15:11 |
| gerhard | but I only find the assaultcube executable | 15:11 |
| Andy_ | ed0n0n, and i was trying from live CD for like 3-4 days? | 15:11 |
| Enverex | scunizi, Well in short what I need to do is convert 65 BMP images to 70% size, 90% quality JPEGs... | 15:11 |
| ed0n0n | Andy: Got the Iso, I will burn it straight if isnt working with the new burned one | 15:12 |
| ed0n0n | but have no ethernet in this PC | 15:12 |
| Feddozz | ikonia can you help me? | 15:12 |
| ikonia | Feddozz: no | 15:12 |
| Andy_ | ed0n0n, yeah try that | 15:12 |
| gerhard | when I type "whereis assaultcube" the terminal responds only the folder where the executable is located | 15:12 |
| JokeR- | hello i have a sound problem. "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" | 15:12 |
| gerhard | but I need the aditional folders | 15:12 |
| ed0n0n | The partitions are created already, shoould I reformat the ext3 partition, after defining mount point in it? | 15:13 |
| m0u5e | JokeR-: you don't get any sound at all? | 15:13 |
| ed0n0n | Im using only 5.4Gb for this partition | 15:13 |
| scunizi | Enverex, shouldn't be an issue.. if they are in the same directory mapivi should be able to do it. Of course it might depend on you ram level.. imagemagick would be the second easiest way to do it. | 15:13 |
| m0u5e | JokeR-: have you checked under hardware drivers, your soundcard might have proprietary drivers | 15:13 |
| JokeR- | m0u5e: yes | 15:13 |
| Enverex | scunizi, Can't find any GUIs for ImageMagick | 15:14 |
| AdvoWork | anyone recommend a program that will allow me to auto mount a UFS formatted HD? | 15:14 |
| omzig | Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 15:14 |
| scunizi | Enverex, nope.. terminal only | 15:14 |
| omzig | whats is that? | 15:14 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork the kernel has ufs support | 15:14 |
| m0u5e | JokeR-: hmmm do you know what soundcard you have? | 15:14 |
| bazhang | omzig, close add/remove, synaptic or others and try again | 15:14 |
| JokeR- | m0u5e: i didnt check. i said yes about your 1st question :) | 15:15 |
| Andy_ | bazhang, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=701 here it works :P | 15:15 |
| stefg_ | I just installed intrepid-i386 from a Desktop CD and then manually installed mdadm and put my /home on a separate raid1 partition. I experience quite annoying harddisk shreddering in ~3 sec. intervals. i checked if the raid1 might be resyncing (no), mount everything with 'noatime,nodiratime' ... doesn't help. i use reiserfs for / and /var, ext3 for /home and some xfs partitons for video and... | 15:15 |
| stefg_ | ...multimedia. How can i find out what's accessing the disks? | 15:15 |
| JokeR- | m0u5e: how can i check? | 15:15 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, ive got a ufs formatted hd, with data on, plug it into the usb port of ubuntu machine, and it wont auto mount though? wheras ext2 for example does? | 15:15 |
| m0u5e | JokeR-: system>administration>hardware drivers | 15:15 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork try to manually mount it | 15:15 |
| Enverex | scunizi, Just wish someone would make a GUI, if one existed I would have finished shortly after I started looking rather than having to research Imagemagick and bash scripting | 15:16 |
| omzig | u mean close my update manager that im doin now? | 15:16 |
| Waltherx | hello | 15:16 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, how do i know the way to mount that drive though? | 15:16 |
| bazhang | omzig, are you using more than one instance of apt? | 15:16 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork same as any other drive but with the UFS file system | 15:16 |
| JokeR- | m0u5e: and? | 15:16 |

| stefg_ | ed0n0n: the CD has a self test-feature, and for the hd there's usually some DOS vendor utility to perfom sanity checks | 15:23 |

| enticingjelly | most noticable in psi | 15:42 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, i have both eth0 and wlan0 working | 15:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | hmmm I'm having difficulties with the repos | 15:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | W: Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.filearena.net/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/s/shadow/login_4.1.1-1ubuntu1.2_i386.deb | 15:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. | 15:43 |
| enticingjelly | it's really really irritating and I can't find *anything* | 15:43 |
| omzig | ok already done.. | 15:43 |
| omzig | tq for your help k? | 15:43 |
| enticingjelly | I already tried switching to another Qt/KDE style and similar things, nothing works | 15:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | I seem to be unable to download important security updates | 15:43 |
| enticingjelly | GTK/Gnome applications work flawlessly | 15:43 |
| hischild | DefamedPrawn, that isn't a ubuntu repo. Did you manually add it? | 15:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | hischild yes. I kind of had to. | 15:43 |
| enticingjelly | I had this problem both on my home workstation and at work. for some reason, it doesn't seem to occur on my home workstation anymore (not entirely sure), however I don't know what's different | 15:44 |

| JokeR- | jim_p: the same message... the same problem... | 15:44 |
| hischild | DefamedPrawn, why did you have to? I can't think of any reason to have to. | 15:44 |
| enticingjelly | for example, whenever I get a new message in an open window in psi, I have to *click* on the window for it to repaint correctly, so that I can read it | 15:44 |
| enticingjelly | also, scrolling in e.g. lists is really awful | 15:44 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, eth0 and wlan0 both are working if i remove network manager | 15:44 |

| hischild | DefamedPrawn, security updates should always be downloaded from the official site, using another site can seriously compromise security of your system. | 15:46 |
| kevin_405 | bazhang, ok thx for ur help so far | 15:46 |

| combo | hello all :) i have question: i was updating & upgrading system via terminal and suddenly I closed the window. now it is written that there are terminated updates. how can I finish the upgrade? | 15:47 |

| hischild | DefamedPrawn, if you can't find the files you need from their site, it might be down or a wrong entry in your sources.list. | 15:48 |

| DefamedPrawn | hischild k thanks. | 15:48 |

| hischild | enticingjelly, you may have to ask again, just saying it's really irritating isn't going to help. | 15:48 |
| stefg | combo: sudo apt-get -f install should do it for you | 15:49 |
| JokeR- | jim_p: no more suggestions? | 15:49 |
| jim_p | JokeR-, i quit. try another live cd or another distro on a live cd and check for sound again | 15:49 |
| enticingjelly | hischild, I typed a lot of lines to describe the problem :( | 15:49 |

| hischild | kevin_405, don't ask random people in this channel. | 15:51 |
| stefg | combo: so sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgarde again | 15:51 |

| kevin_405 | hischild, why is it a random question | 15:52 |
| enticingjelly | Qt applications, apparently (or maybe it's KDE applications or just individual ones, hard to tell) have severe refresh problems, both on my home workstation and at work. most notably in psi. for example, when I have a chat window open and receive a new message into it, I have to actually click into the window for it to repaint correctly, so that I can read it. I also have to do that after typing a message myself. scrolling e.g. ... | 15:52 |
| Jozyx | I just installed Xubuntu on an old Acer with a Ati Trident videocard but I won't let me set the resolution to it's max (1024x768). Now I tried some googling but all the solutions are for 8.04 and I can't seem to figure it out. Could someone go trough the steps with me of adding a resolution? | 15:52 |
| enticingjelly | ... the contact list also only partially refreshes it. GTK/Gnome applications seem to be perfectly fine. I already tried switching to another Qt style, deactivating varios effects in KDE settings (I currently use Gnome, however), all to no avail. I'm under the impression that the problem doesn't appear on my home workstation anymore, though I'm not entirely sure, because sometime the problem is subtle (sometimes it's awful, like ... | 15:52 |
| enticingjelly | ... psi at work) and I don't remember doing anything particular. It's really irritating and I have no new ideas. | 15:52 |
| hischild | combo, what did you type in console? | 15:52 |
| L0neWolf | stefg, where is menu.list by default, root? | 15:52 |

| hischild | combo, pastebin the output please. | 15:53 |
| ASULutzy | Jozyx: The steps should be the same pretty much regardless of version, it should automatically detect them, I would try doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg otherwise you could add some lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and restart X | 15:53 |
| combo | hischild: kk | 15:53 |
| Jozyx | Ok thanks I'll try it out | 15:54 |
| hischild | kevin_405, it is, and you're asking random people in this channel if they know it. If you just ask the question and someone knows it, they'll answer. | 15:54 |
| enticingjelly | I really don't know what to do anymore, any ideas for any workarounds or something? | 15:54 |
| L0neWolf | stefg, thanks, I'll go and find out how to add the entry I need :) | 15:54 |
| combo | hischild: oupss... it looks there is nothing happening after typing that in console, so I have nothing to pastebin for you (?) ;| | 15:54 |

| stefg | Jozyx: my guess is that you are running on the vesa driver... | 15:55 |
| hischild | combo, run this for me --> sudo aptitude update | 15:55 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: It's not available in virtualbox-ose, you have to use the proprietary one | 15:55 |

| stefg | I just installed intrepid-i386 from a Desktop CD and then manually installed mdadm and put my /home on a separate raid1 partition. I experience quite annoying harddisk shreddering in ~3 sec. intervals. i checked if the raid1 might be resyncing (no), mount everything with 'noatime,nodiratime' ... doesn't help. i use reiserfs for / and /var, ext3 for /home and some xfs partitons for video and... | 15:56 |
| stefg | ...multimedia. How can i find out what's accessing the disks? | 15:56 |
| bluey | ASULutzy: will i have to remove my windows image too? | 15:56 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: No, you can use the same image | 15:56 |
| bluey | cool | 15:56 |
| hischild | stefg, you know the locations? then try using lsof | grep <file location> | 15:57 |
| combo | hischild: ok, i'm doing this, but by the way - I remember long long time ago I did same mistake with terminating upgrade and then helped some command with dpkg -reconfigure something, can't remember now :P | 15:57 |
| bluey | ASULutzy: i am trying to run itunes on Vbox... do u think it will work... i mean for connecting to my ipod touch | 15:57 |
| omzig | anyone know what is the short-cut key for enter terminal? | 15:57 |
| hischild | combo, long time ago? perhaps it's still in your history then. try this --> history | grep dpkg | 15:57 |
| dee | Hello. | 15:58 |
| hischild | bluey, if you use the one from their site and not the one from repo's, maybe. Using the one from repo's, no. | 15:58 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: Hmm, it probably will | 15:58 |
| hischild | omzig, you mean ctrl - alt - f2 ? | 15:58 |
| personaV | Anyone able to help me upgrade my ruby install? | 15:58 |
| combo | history, nope it was on previous version of my Kubuntu, before format about year ago ;P | 15:58 |
| stefg | hischild: that is my problem... i have no idea what process is writing where. i just let the box idle, but even 5 minutes after boot i still have that annoying 'charrgg'....'charrg' every 3-5 seconds | 15:58 |
| hischild | combo, ahh ok. Anyway, you did the pastebin? | 15:58 |
| dee | I want to build linux-ubuntu-modules for my kernel but do not know how to say that I have a own kernel. It always tries to get the sources from the standard kernel. | 15:59 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: There are a couple things you can use to interface with your ipod via Ubuntu without a VM, I think gtkpod or something, let me check | 15:59 |
| omzig | that for big window.. | 15:59 |
| omzig | i just want the normal | 15:59 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: Have you tried sudo apt-get install gtkpod ? | 15:59 |
| hischild | stefg, hmm, you tried using top? maybe it shows you what process has a heavy mem usage. | 15:59 |
| PETERPORKER | ciao a tutti | 15:59 |
| bluey | ASULutzy: i hope so. i spent a lot of money on this ipod and i will be damned if it makes me have to dual boot with XP.... no gtkpod doesnt work with ipod touch | 15:59 |
| PETERPORKER | come va...? | 16:00 |
| bluey | ASULutzy: yes i got gtkpod installed | 16:00 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: Ah, so you're right... Well, what I will say is, I've had nothing but great experiences with USB passthrough using the non open source edition of Vbox | 16:00 |
| combo | hischild: yeap, sorki for being late, here you go: http://pastebin.pl/4099 | 16:00 |

| === Guest10322 is now known as chand_ | ||
| bluey | lol.....ya i canged the fstab thing... just cudnt get it to work... now i know bcoz it was OSE | 16:01 |
| hischild | combo, looks right so far. For the next part, this command should run the updates. --> sudo aptitude full-upgrade | 16:01 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: Yea, the OSE does not support USB passthrough whatsoever (other than mounting the folder as a shared folder, but that'd only work for like pendrives and stuff :) | 16:02 |
| combo | hischild: ok | 16:02 |
| hischild | combo, and pastebin that as well please. | 16:02 |
| stefg | hischild: that's not swap shredding.... i use 200 MB out of 4 GB, free -m tells me another 200 MB for buffers and cache... i just boot the box and let it alone, but it never stops accessing the disk every 3-5 seconds... can it be a syslog ---mark--- ? That wouldn't make such an awful noise and head repositioning | 16:02 |
| combo | hischild: ok :) | 16:02 |
| bluey | ASULutzy: wish me luck.. will let u know how it goes | 16:03 |
| stefg | ... and i start wondering if my hd's are getting worn out by it | 16:03 |
| untitled | hi there, where does kubuntu store kde sounds? | 16:04 |
| phazzzz | hello, quick question: is it possible to put mp3 files on my samsung mobile phone using wammu? | 16:04 |
| stefg | Pici: good poinz.. i'll try | 16:04 |
| ASULutzy | stefg: You could install smartmontools and then do sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda (or whatever it is) and check if it's parking the head way more often than it ought to be | 16:04 |
| hischild | stefg, doesn't have to be swap shredding, and that's not why i'm suggesting it. My thoughts were that the program that keeps accessing your disc, has to use either memory or at least has some spiking CPU usage. | 16:04 |
| stefg | ASULutzy: have them already ... hdparm -B 255 and -M 200 are in my local boot script | 16:04 |
| ASULutzy | stefg: Ah ok! | 16:05 |

| kaiser10123 | whats better dual boot or wubi install way | 16:08 |
| combo | hischild: it took a bit of time, but it works as well :) | 16:08 |
| combo | hischild: thanks a lot man! :D:D | 16:08 |
| Pici | kaiser10123: It depends whether you mind re-partitioning your harddrive or not. | 16:09 |
| hischild | combo, you were trying to install a program? see if you can do that as wel. | 16:09 |
| ASULutzy | kaiser10123: Dual boot is better. Wubi stinks | 16:09 |
| kaiser10123 | Pici: i dont mind i usually dual boot or straight linux | 16:09 |
| kaiser10123 | straight linux with xp in virtualbox if not | 16:10 |
| Pici | kaiser10123: Then go with the dual-boot option. | 16:10 |
| ASULutzy | kaiser10123: Wubi offers no real advantages over setting up a dual-boot other than you have to edit your partitions to dualboot | 16:10 |
| combo | hischild: yes, everything works ;P | 16:10 |
| hischild | combo, good to hear! | 16:10 |
| ASULutzy | kaiser10123: But there are several disadvantages to Wubi, so yea :) | 16:10 |

| techorb | kristian1: also, for a list of what's installed, you can run dpkg -l | 16:35 |
| Zarcom | how can I make a system tray? | 16:36 |
| Zarcom | actually let me rephrase that | 16:36 |
| Zarcom | how can I minimize stuff to my panel? | 16:36 |
| Slart | Zarcom: you can add one to a gnome-panel | 16:36 |
| Zarcom | also, I cannot seem to find the control center, I formatted after I messed it up lol | 16:36 |
| Zzeiss | ed0n0n: I would advise against reusing a failing HD. If it's getting block errors, the errors will likely snowball as the disk fails more and more. You're just setting yourself up for a world of hurt by bothering to install on it. | 16:36 |
| Slart | Zarcom: I think that's called a "window list" and it's also available in the gnome panel "Add to this panel" thingy | 16:36 |
| Zarcom | Start: ah ok | 16:37 |
| stefg | kaiser10123: generally yes, but i would be careful that you don't e.g. use firefox2 on one distro and FF3 on the other... you bokkmarks would be converted, so FF2 could no longer see them | 16:37 |

| Slart | Zarcom: either it's not installed by default or it's hidden | 16:38 |
| stefg | kaiser10123: my advice would be to mount the home partition to /mnt/home on the other distro and just link or bind-mount the dirs that you kanow are safe to share | 16:38 |

| kaiser10123 | stefg: i was going have majority same programs on both but dont i have to install programs on both seperately and i was going to dual boot with mythbuntu and sabayon and have xp in virtualbox can i put vdi file in /home too and just make a little space for installs in sabayon and mythbuntu install and store all media and a dynamic vdi for xp so all can be in same place for both sabayon and mythbuntu | 16:40 |
| ed0n0n | Zzeiss: Really? How that happen? | 16:40 |
| Zzeiss | Acedip: Well, fsck _is_ the usual high-level check. Are you worried about low-level issues like lost blocks? | 16:40 |
| benzss | in hardy can network manager request a static ip address? | 16:41 |
| Slart | CarlFK: I think you can download it and put it in your plugins folder manually.. but I haven't seen any repos with it yet | 16:41 |
| Slart | benzss: if it could do that it wouldn't be a static address, now would it? =) | 16:41 |
| CarlFK | Slart: got the url handy? | 16:41 |
| sisif | hischild : so any suggestion on what my cause that error ? | 16:41 |
| Zzeiss | ed0n0n: Consider how many device drivers you have, versus how many you ever use. Consider how many fonts and cliparts and "screensaver pics" you have. If any of those were disrupted, what's the chance you'd notice it? | 16:41 |
| Slart | CarlFK: nope.. but google has to have lots of hits for 64bit flash | 16:41 |
| benzss | slart: what? | 16:41 |
| white-sheep | How do you mount *existing* encrypted luks? | 16:41 |

| Zarcom | start: basically instead of seeing multiple windows on my lower_panel, I basically want to minmize them to "tray icons" | 16:46 |
| Zzeiss | TJ-42: Are you running a multiple-desktop screen manager? Most folks just keep N desktops, one for each application or process. | 16:46 |
| Zarcom | is that possible? | 16:46 |
| white-sheep | PriceChild, What's the second parameter for? Where to mount? | 16:46 |
| Slart | Zarcom: that would depend on the program you minimize.. | 16:46 |
| Zarcom | start: like wine for example | 16:47 |
| Slart | Zarcom: I haven't done this in linux but in windows the program had to hide itself and wait for someone to click the task tray icon and then unhide.. | 16:47 |
| PriceChild | white-sheep: "man cryptsetup" explains what each is | 16:47 |
| TJ-42 | Zzeiss, yea I am, but I don't need firefox taking up a full 24inch widescreen monitor, for example, and it's nice to be able to see multiple things all at the same time, without having to switch desktops | 16:47 |

| HypnoGenX | I'm having some trouble with Ubuntu 8.10. Bought a second hand PC which I intended to use as a convenient office PC, and installed Ubuntu on it. Installation went without a hitch, but the window manager seemingly refuses to load. The login manager works, but as soon as I hit enter the background goes black, and I have nothing but a white mouse pointer. No disk activity, nada. | 17:00 |
| HypnoGenX | Haven't been able to figure out how to get any terminal output instead of X, so I don't have access to any kind of error messages. Anyone have any pointers? | 17:00 |

| soreau | roosel: Lime and Frostwire work fine | 17:02 |
| emilien | !frostwire | roosel | 17:02 |
| ubottu | roosel: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 17:02 |
| roosel | ok well if anyone would like to tell me why.... I installed the .deb file for Limewire but it doesnt appear in any of my lists and if i try to type limewire in bash its an unrecognized command | 17:04 |
| fosco_ | roosel, dpkg -l | grep lime and make sure it is installed | 17:05 |
| roosel | fosco_ : if nothing comes up does this mean it is not installed ? | 17:06 |
| [TiZ] | Hi. I'm trying to add some custom resolutions to my Ubuntu Intrepid, like 768x480, for OpenArena, and 640x400, for DosBox. I have modelines in my xorg.conf, and display subsections too. But I still don't get the custom resolutions at startup. I can add new modes from xrandr, though. So what's going on? | 17:06 |
| fosco_ | roosel, yes, it is not installed | 17:06 |
| roosel | fosco_ can you tell me why that might be ? i ran the .deb file and synaptic said it had installed it successfully | 17:07 |
| roosel | fosco_ 2x actually and both have had the same result | 17:07 |
| fosco_ | maybe package name do not contain "lime" word :-? | 17:08 |
| fosco_ | roosel, install it using sudo dpkg -i *.deb and paste the results in pastebin.com | 17:08 |
| roosel | ok | 17:08 |
| roosel | anyone know the default download location for firefox | 17:10 |
| Slart | HypnoGenX: try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a command line | 17:10 |
| roosel | nvm | 17:10 |
| Slart | HypnoGenX: when you see that one you can switch between several command line shells with ALT+1, ALT+2, ALT+3 etc.. ALT+7 should take you back to X/Gnome.. | 17:11 |
| white-sheep | PriceChild, I got the problem solved. Thanks again. :) | 17:11 |
| PriceChild | white-sheep: great | 17:12 |
| roosel | will ~/Desktop link to the desktop for currently logged person ? | 17:12 |
| Slart | roosel: yes | 17:12 |
| roosel | Slart thx | 17:12 |
| HypnoGenX | Slart: Thanks! Was used to using Ctrl+Alt instead, never figured it might be different. :-P | 17:13 |
| Slart | HypnoGenX: you need ctrl+alt+F# to get out to the first one.. oh.. I see I've made a mistak.. it's ALT+F1, ALT+F2 etc in my second part there | 17:13 |
| roosel | fosco_ install worked when using dpkg | 17:13 |
| fosco_ | ok | 17:14 |
| roosel | fosco_ thanks for your help... just one follow up tho... why would synaptic mess it up ? | 17:14 |
| HypnoGenX | Slart: Hmm...Doesn't respond to either Alt or Ctrl+Alt and any function keys. Infact the entire keyboard seems dead. Num lock and such aren't toggling either. O.o | 17:14 |
| fosco_ | roosel, not sure, but synaptic works with repos and limewire is not in the official repos | 17:14 |
| Markla709 | hey | 17:15 |

| SimonTek | on the update manager, a newer version of a package. passwd. Why do they still make new versions of that? Is it really likely that there has been a bunch of changes? | 17:16 |
| SimonTek | ok I go read changelog | 17:16 |
| SimonTek | ECURITY UPDATE: root privilege escalation via utmp group. | 17:16 |
| SimonTek | - debian/patches/303_login_symlink_attack: upstream fix | 17:16 |
| Pici | SimonTek: Is that a question? | 17:16 |
| HypnoGenX | Slart: The installation worked fine, but booting the live environment to 'try out Ubuntu' has the same issues. | 17:17 |
| SimonTek | not really. i posted my own answer | 17:17 |
| Slart | HypnoGenX: you can try the usualy fixes.. nolapic, noapic just to see if that works.. but it's hard to diagnose something without any kind of error message | 17:18 |
| HypnoGenX | Slart: Indeed. :-\ | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Problems running Livecd... At start or install screen, press F6 and remove splash and quiet, if that does not work do it again but now also add noapic acpi=off before the -- on the command line | 17:19 |
| bonez45 | how would I download....all articles, all links, on a site.. 2 levels deep? | 17:19 |
| guillermo | hello | 17:20 |
| Slart | bonez45: use wget.. or one of it's guis | 17:20 |
| Slart | bonez45: I think there's even a firefox plugin for it | 17:20 |
| HypnoGenX | Yay. Managed to switch to another terminal. Keyboard works fine during boot. So I guess I get to figure out why GNOME and KDE die on me. | 17:21 |

| white-sheep | wiehan -- There are nothing in README. Just bunch of legal and descriptions -- No instruction. However, I looked at Install. Now, that *was* a script. I ran it. It didn't work. I'm looking for older version to resort back to. Yes, I opened the terminal from that window. | 17:44 |
| vesayth | wiehan: The threads I have been reading on the issue did not provide a solution for me | 17:44 |
| raygreen | Where can I find help getting Wine to work on ubuntu 8.1 | 17:44 |

| ubottu | raygreen: 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. :-) | 17:45 |
| vesayth | wiehan: Hence, why I came here | 17:45 |

| Ward1983 | are there daily builds of ubuntu 8.10? | 17:46 |
| white-sheep | Ward1983, No. | 17:46 |
| Ward1983 | white-sheepso there is no way to get hold of a updated liveCD ? only the one with a old kernel is available? | 17:47 |
| hischild | Ward1983, get the minimal CD and install from there then. | 17:47 |
| white-sheep | Ward1983, You're welcome to try the Alpha -- http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha4 | 17:47 |
| Ward1983 | hischild its not to install, its to make a persistent liveboot | 17:47 |
| lenswipe | rambo3: i just closed and reopened the graphical user settings and found that users i deleted earlier have been brought back | 17:47 |

| white-sheep | Ward1983, You should do what hischild said. Use minimal cd and install everything from that point -- You'll get the latest updates from the good ol' servers. | 17:48 |
| Ward1983 | is seems impossible to update the kernel | 17:48 |
| raygreen | bazhang, what is appdb? | 17:49 |
| Ward1983 | oh wait... unetbootin supports netinst right? | 17:49 |
| hischild | !appdb | raygreen | 17:49 |
| ubottu | raygreen: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 17:49 |
| white-sheep | Ward1983, You generally shouldn't make the kernel -- Ubuntu do that for you. | 17:49 |
| Ward1983 | hischild do you know if unetobotin supports netinst? | 17:49 |
| jonty-comp | I don't know whether to install ubuntu on my new tablet PC | 17:49 |

| jonty-comp | does it have any kind of advantages for tablets? | 17:49 |
| hischild | white-sheep, he just wants the latest kernel, not a home made one | 17:50 |
| hischild | Ward1983, i'm not sure. | 17:50 |
| Ward1983 | white-sheep i said updating was not possible, i didnt say i "made" the kernel, or wanted to maek it | 17:50 |
| raygreen | I have checked, and some people mentioned using different versions, but these links are from 2005 | 17:50 |
| Ward1983 | hischild ill check, but i think it does, i never thought of that | 17:50 |

| lenswipe | bazhang: for the thirdtime, i know how to add users, ubuntu just wont let me | 17:52 |
| Ward1983 | hischild yes it does support netinst, both 32 and 64 bit even :D:D:D | 17:53 |
| bazhang | lenswipe, repeating the way you are wont get it fixed. | 17:53 |
| ed0n0n | is wubi recommendable for a first time user? | 17:53 |
| sikander | can anyone send me a message | 17:53 |
| Ward1983 | hischild thanx lol i never even thought of it | 17:53 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, for a demo perhaps, better to try the livecd | 17:53 |
| lenswipe | bazhang: i delete a user, when i reopen the users window the user is still there..... | 17:53 |
| Flannel | lenswipe: Sounds like you've messed up sudo somehow, or removed your user from the sudoers. | 17:53 |
| garrett88 | hey guys, my splash screen wont let the progress bar move unless I hold down my spacebar | 17:53 |
| garrett88 | any ideas what it could be | 17:54 |
| lenswipe | Flannel: also when i create a user the user is created with no home dir | 17:54 |
| Flannel | lenswipe: How are you creating said users? | 17:54 |
| Ward1983 | i'm probably being just retarded but where is the netinst CD? | 17:54 |
| Cobalt | i think i found out why. i guess putting the volume up would help with the sound. sorry guys. thanks. laters. | 17:54 |
| TJ-42 | In Ubuntu 8.04, if I use something like compiz "group and tab windows", and then switch an item, the gnome taskbar appears empty for about half a minute, before finally being updated with the new taskbar items. Any ideas why or what I can do? | 17:54 |
| bazhang | Ward1983, minimal or unetbootin | 17:55 |
| danielbw | I had to downgrade a couple of applications to hardy from intrepid | 17:55 |
| danielbw | how can I tell the update systemt hat I dont want thos applications updated? | 17:55 |
| mahel | lenswipe, try adduser username | 17:55 |
| mahel | danielbw, try aptitude | 17:55 |
| lenswipe | mahel: thats the thing, i want to create a user called mainr51, which i cant do until i delete the mainr51 that has no home dir, and for some reason ubuntu just wont let me do that | 17:56 |
| bazhang | danielbw, you used hardy repos to install on intrepid? | 17:56 |
| hischild | lenswipe, why not just edit that user you already have? | 17:56 |
| danielbw | bahzang, yes I had to downgrade rdesktop and xorg | 17:56 |
| lenswipe | hischild: i dont understand | 17:56 |
| mahel | lenswipe, deluser? | 17:56 |
| Flannel | danielbw: The easiest way is to use Synaptic, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Synaptic | 17:56 |
| bazhang | danielbw, that was a very unwise decision | 17:56 |
| lenswipe | mahel: ok ill try that | 17:56 |
| danielbw | bahzang, you should try to understand why before you pass judgement | 17:57 |
| bazhang | danielbw, you dont want to downgrade things | 17:57 |
| lenswipe | to tell the truth guys everything has been a bit fucked up since i installed xfce | 17:57 |
| fitzdsl | Hi, i've got a problem to install ubuntu-xen-sever (i run intrepid), the install seems fine but it doesn't change my menu.lst, i've got a xen-3.3.gz in /boot but it is the only file with xen reference, i've got no initrd nor vmlinuz | 17:57 |
| Ward1983 | i'm probably being just retarded but where is the netinst CD? | 17:57 |
| Flannel | lenswipe: please watch your language | 17:57 |
| Ward1983 | cannot find it | 17:57 |
| bazhang | lenswipe, no need for that language | 17:57 |
| lenswipe | i apologise | 17:57 |
| Flannel | !minimal | Ward1983 | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Ward1983: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:57 |
| bazhang | Ward1983, unetbootin or minimal | 17:57 |
| Ward1983 | Flannelthanx | 17:57 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang i meant the minimal yes :) sorry i thought it was just called netinst in ubuntu aswell | 17:58 |
| lenswipe | the thing is guys normally i would just re-install but i cant because the ubuntu machine contains my work | 17:58 |
| mahel | danielbw, apt can have priorities by package repository or name, search manuals | 17:58 |
| fitzdsl | does someone have an idea ? | 17:58 |
| danielbw | bahzang, please refer to this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-177/+bug/296167/comments/50 | 17:58 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang ok this is confusing, unetbootin has options for 8.10 netinst, only the minimal is no netinst? | 17:58 |
| danielbw | this is what I followed and it works just fine | 17:59 |
| mahel | lenswipe, whad did deluser do? | 17:59 |
| bazhang | Ward1983, thus my question :) | 17:59 |
| Flannel | Ward1983: minimal CD is a net installer | 17:59 |
| lenswipe | mahel: i tried deluser, and it said that i cant delete the user because the user does not exist, yet i cant add a user with that name because a user with that name already exists!! | 17:59 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang Flannel so unetbootin can only mean the minimal CD if it speaks of netinst right? jsut to make sure | 17:59 |
| Ward1983 | in debian minimal and netinst are not the same iirc so its confusing | 18:00 |
| Flannel | Ward1983: netboot and netinst are different things | 18:00 |
| hischild | lenswipe, pastebin that output then, in a single post ... creating and deleting the user | 18:00 |
| danielbw | well why does ibex have such a nasty bug then? xorg is not working right with xinerama and it's not xinerama and it's not just nvidia. It's xorg. Also rdesktop has a major problem with the caps lock | 18:00 |
| danielbw | these things worked perfectly in 8.04 | 18:00 |
| lenswipe | hischild: sure thing, gimme a sec | 18:00 |

| Ward1983 | Flannel this gets more and more confusing | 18:01 |

| Ward1983 | Flannel so: the ubuntu netinst, where do i find it? | 18:01 |
| Flannel | Ward1983: That's the minimal CD | 18:01 |
| Ward1983 | Flannel or IS it the minimal? | 18:01 |
| Ward1983 | Flannel ah ok :) | 18:01 |
| Flannel | its 8mB, downloads all the packages from the internet | 18:01 |
| jseagle | ??? | 18:02 |
| Ward1983 | Flannel yes i was confused by its size i remembered a larger file for debian netinst (used it a few times) | 18:02 |
| Ward1983 | Flannel thanx again for explaining :) | 18:02 |

| cristi | Blatz: can you tell me the others persmissins to htdocs? | 18:16 |
| Blatz | king, sure I'll test to see if php is working | 18:16 |

| vatts | bazhang: ok but how do they work? | 18:16 |
| ick_ | Slart: libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Input/output error | 18:16 |
| Slart | russ_: first the file need to be marked as "executable", you can do that in nautilus or in a terminal (chmod a+x) then you just type ./filename.bin in a terminal and it should run.. or double click it | 18:16 |
| durka | who wants to help me debug xdmcp | 18:17 |
| Slart | ick_: try googling for that error message.. it might just not work with linux or it might be a configuration issue | 18:17 |
| jeeez | hi, how can i check updates history in the main repo? | 18:17 |
| bazhang | vatts, check out uck, it is quite easy to use (ubuntu customization kit) | 18:17 |

| vatts | ah thanks bazhang | 18:18 |
| ikonia | Formode: what do you mean properly ? | 18:18 |
| cristi | jeeez: try system -> administration -> system log but those are just major changes i think | 18:18 |
| tk3 | hi all - I can't get an rt2500usb wifi stick to work at "G" speed: entering "iwconfig wlan1 rate 48M auto" stil leaves the interface at 5.5M. signal, harware etc. is fine - thoughts? | 18:18 |
| jeeez | cristi: i just want to know wen gcc4.2 was updated to gcc 4.3x | 18:18 |
| ikonia | jeeez: why does it mater ? | 18:19 |
| ya | how do i get youtube to work on fresh install | 18:19 |
| Formode | ikonia, it does to reformat it, and stops, (I'm trying to make it HFS+) but when I reselect it on mac OS, it still says FAT32. >> Gparted says it's HFS | 18:19 |
| cristi | jeeez: can't you reach it an just see when it was last modified? | 18:19 |
| ick_ | Slart: Slart : i only found the link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam#Intrepid/Updated%20Hardy%20current%20issues%20with%20webcams | 18:19 |
| ikonia | Formode: I've never heard of that | 18:19 |
| jeeez | ikonia: it makes my project not work, [see http://www.cyrius.com/journal/2007/05/10#gcc-4.3-include ] | 18:19 |
| Formode | ikonia, it's so weird. | 18:19 |
| russ_ | Slart: I'm done what you said, it is still not installing however | 18:20 |
| ikonia | jeeez: again so why does the date it changed matter ? | 18:20 |
| jeeez | ikonia: because my program used to compile, doesn't anymore | 18:20 |
| ikonia | jeeez: either fix it for gcc4.3 compatability, or put a note that it only works with 4.2 | 18:20 |
| ikonia | jeeez: yes, I understand that, but how does the date it changed make it start working ? | 18:20 |
| nathan | i have gw running on ubuntu but the graphics are acting up, anyone know why? | 18:21 |
| === nathan is now known as Guest70032 | ||
| Flannel | jeeez: Intrepid has 4.3, Hardy has 4.2 | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Nasra: gw ? | 18:21 |
| jeeez | ikonia: am not particularly smart, so if the date matches [the last time i compiled the program], i can be sure the problem is gcc's and not a mistake i made! | 18:21 |
| Guest70032 | guild wars sorry | 18:21 |
| Slart | russ_: no error messages, no results at all? | 18:21 |
| vatts | bazhang: however, do remastersys work like that: you add/remove programs and it does reverse engineering - it packs ubuntu into CD/DVD? | 18:21 |
| Flannel | jeeez: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/gcc-defaults/gcc-defaults_1.62ubuntu3/changelog and http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/gcc-defaults/gcc-defaults_1.74ubuntu2/changelog | 18:21 |

| Slart | ick_: that might be the one.. hard to remember now.. | 18:22 |
| ikonia | thats crazy, they are two different versions | 18:22 |
| emilien | installing seconds linux os , how i part-ion , what risks are there ? | 18:22 |
| jeeez | ok, so in theory, if i remove gcc 4.3, 4.2 takes over rite? | 18:22 |
| ikonia | emilien: managing grub is awkward without a shared /boot partition | 18:22 |
| russ_ | Slart: no I don't get an error messeage.... | 18:22 |
| Blatz | king, php is working on the server | 18:23 |
| Blatz | cristi, I changed the permissions of the htdocs to 777 and still no change | 18:23 |

| bazhang | chairman, sure | 18:24 |
| ikonia | emilien: possible, but more difficult to manage | 18:24 |
| Slart | chairman: google couldn't help you with that? | 18:24 |
| Flannel | chairman: debian.org has links, but this really belongs in #debian not here. Thanks. | 18:24 |
| cristi | jeeez: i don't know if i am right or not but i guess you can look into /usr/bin there you shold find the executable to your gcc version. You can see when it was last modified.. | 18:24 |
| bazhang | chairman, better to ask in #debian though | 18:24 |
| Blatz | king, do you know where the phpmyadmin config file is? | 18:24 |
| Slart | chairman: I would start with www.debian.org | 18:24 |

| Formode | ikonia, I just figured out something new, but sorry. | 18:25 |
| emilien | ikonia, if i make gparted live and resize are there any dangers of wiping drive by accident ? | 18:25 |
| Slart | russ_: oh.. so you *do* get an error message | 18:25 |
| ikonia | emilien: yes | 18:25 |
| cristi | Blatz: and that is...? you should be the owner of the file, and others should have read only or acces files permisions | 18:25 |
| bazhang | roosel, means you should take it there. | 18:25 |
| emilien | ikonia, any safer ways of doing it ? | 18:26 |

| cristi | Blatz: it did yo me. I had them by default "noone" | 18:27 |
| Flannel | jeeez: No. But you can have themboth installed, and tell gcc to use 4.2... I'm just not savvy on the speciics | 18:27 |
| ya | how do i get youtube to work on fresh install | 18:27 |
| russ_ | Slart: sure :) | 18:27 |
| jeeez | Flannel: how about removing it all off, and then installing just 4.2? | 18:27 |
| cristi | Blatz: and that was not right... however, what does it say whe you acces localhots with your browser? | 18:27 |
| Slart | russ_: you can add the part where you try to run it from the terminal too | 18:27 |

| AJC_Z0 | Slart: I saw that and have previously found that to be untrue. compiz uses the X11 screen differently from typical WMs, so unless there is new glue I doubt that trick will work (though I may try it) | 18:43 |

| chairman | how do i do that? | 18:44 |
| TVdee | closer: why this xubuntu -- difference ? | 18:44 |
| AJC_Z0 | closer: There is a Flash 10 package in the repository (or whatever software sources are called). Search for it in the package manager | 18:44 |
| closer | okz | 18:45 |

| TVdee | chairman: Get debian onto ubuntu - use vmware - As Commercial youre killing them, im sure | 18:45 |
| vatts | TVdee: i recommend VBox | 18:46 |

| Lillymon | I'm trying to mount an external USB hard drive, and I'm not having much luck. The command looks good as far as I can see, but I get a "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock".

| ASULutzy | wire42: I think that my other laptop has that card, and I think the Broadcom STA driver worked for it, What jim_ said above, if not there's always ndiswrapper and that "feisty no fluff" guide I mentioned | 19:14 |

| regeya | sankalp: I don't know if it's pertinent to your program, but if you're just wanting dpkg to handle it, and if it works for that, checkinstall can manage some software...basically if it can be installed with a make install it can usually be handled by checkinstall | 19:16 |

| virgo1143 | simple | 19:17 |
| ASULutzy | wire42: Basically you'll just need to install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk(makes it easier) and then point ndisgtk towards the correct Windows driver for your card | 19:18 |
| sankalp | :regeya ok i will research on checkinstall now | 19:18 |
| jim_ | If Ubuntu sees your card it will have Drivers for it,but you have to enabletmem thru hardware Driver in the menu | 19:18 |
| CharonP1 | the same way you get flash working in windows. install flash player | 19:18 |
| LjL | !checkinstall > sankalp (sankalp, see the private message from ubottu) | 19:18 |
| josh | i've down loaded the flash player for ubuntu but the computer says its the wrong architecture | 19:18 |
| ASULutzy | wire42: Yea, I would check System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and if that doesn't work, that feisty no fluff guide is good | 19:18 |
| sankalp | send me once more i couldn't get it | 19:18 |
| LjL | josh: you're on 64-bit? | 19:18 |
| minus18_pundit | is there any alterntive for aptoncd? | 19:19 |
| CharonP1 | flash player is made for 32 bit arch's you will have to go in a it of a circle to get it working on 64 | 19:19 |
| sankalp | probleme here | 19:19 |
| LjL | !checkinstall | sankalp | 19:19 |
| ubottu | sankalp: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 19:19 |

| deepfriedsuqirre | ASULutzy: Not really; I'm 16 and I havn't got another hard disk. I'm also too embarrassed to order one because of the horrifically cringey yet true 'I told you so' my father would rub in my face :P. Unless it would be possible to fit it on another bit of the hard disk I don't have wanted lost partitions on without making data recovery hard for other areas of the hard disk. | 19:29 |

| onetinsoldier | Ward1983: yeah, unetbootin works though. it will copy makke a bootable usb stick. but it does want to put all data at the front of the usb stick. after that, you can put data on the remainder of the usb stick i believe | 19:32 |

| tim_ora | because the internet pretty much says a big no. | 19:33 |
| OpenSores | I don't have a restore button on my trash, I have to copy them back manually | 19:33 |
| roosel | ASULutzy you would assume there is a restore option however in 8.04 I do not see one | 19:33 |
| roosel | how would i do this manually ? | 19:33 |
| roosel | go to the original folder and remove the .trash ? | 19:34 |
| roosel | or is there a place it puts the files | 19:34 |
| onetinsoldier | smahmood: perhaps #ubuntu-devel? or maybe it's #ubuntu-dev, not sure | 19:34 |

Is it a good idea to just give this laptop and expect everything to continue working ok for the next few years? btw it is | 19:34 |
| roosel | ASULutzy im positive | 19:35 |
| roosel | ASULutzy no worries i will do it manually | 19:35 |
| ASULutzy | roosel: Yea, inside the Trash folder I mentioned, there's a files folder and an info folder, the info files have the deletion time and location | 19:35 |
| ASULutzy | But that's weird that isn't available to you | 19:36 |

So I'd say, sure, throw Ubuntu on it, I'd say the curve actually goes something like, very very computer noobish users should use Ubuntu, then the "I have some common sense and need my Outlook 2007 for work" people I'd say need their Windows, and then from there Linux ftw :) | 19:42 |
| OpenSores | is there any known problems with ubuntu that causes it to freeze when file system encryption is used? | 19:42 |
| karbo | Pici: thank you | 19:42 |
| roosel | ASULutzy whats an lolfacebook worm never heard of those | 19:42 |
| Las_ | I'm running Mozilla 3.0.5 and default-jre 1.6-30 but it won;t load | 19:43 |

| wiretapt | facebook apps arent monitered too closely | 19:43 |
| ASULutzy | roosel: I sorta made it up, but there was actually a facebook worm recently that spread through a really stupid scheme. It would post on people's walls with like, "LOL AMG FUNNY VIDZ!" and if you went to it it would be like, "hai, u need new flash" and it would install some malicious stuff if you ran it | 19:43 |

| thebloggu | i use ubuntu 8.10 and removed pulseaudio in order for mpd to work but now, i hear a background noise. even though it is not too loud it is annoying. what maybe causing it ? (btw, sound in sonata (mpd client) can't be controlled from the client, just from the os. think it may show some problem) | 19:43 |

| AlexCBoca | I am having no success setting up remote spooled printers with Ubuntu 8.04. It appears that a firewall or something like one is blocking incoming lpd (port 515) requests before they ever get to the local spooler.Is there a way to enable incoming lpd requests (port 515) on an Ubuntu 8.04 system? | 19:44 |
| wiretapt | yes sir | 19:44 |
| \Kira | Im trying to download a game that only has downloads for linux generic or debian. I know its debian I should choose, but then it asks me for etch or lenny? Im not sure what to select If I run ubunut... | 19:44 |
| OpenSores | thebloggu: is it white noise? | 19:44 |
| Flannel | \Kira: which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 19:45 |
| Bodsda | AlexCBoca, assuming iptables is the firewall you may want to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 19:45 |
| thebloggu | OpenSores, what do you mean ? | 19:45 |
| ASULutzy | \Kira: You could just do Linux generic and compile the source, shouldn't be too hard | 19:45 |
| \Kira | Flannel: kubuntu 8.04 | 19:45 |
| OpenSores | thebloggu: what is the noise like? | 19:45 |
| apo_ | \Kira: I'd take lenny | 19:45 |
| lavagolemking | I'm having difficulty with the touchpad in a Dell XPS. | 19:45 |
| \Kira | ASULutzy: THat was going to be my second choice | 19:45 |
| thebloggu | OpenSores, just like when you listen to radio | 19:45 |
| nomis1804 | ASULutzy: thanks for all the info, im definitely confident enough that ubuntu is the right choice now | 19:45 |
| ASULutzy | nomis1804: No problem, and tell her she can always come back to #ubuntu for help ;) | 19:46 |
| OpenSores | So white noise then. Is is constant or intermittent? | 19:46 |
| Bodsda | \Kira, i believe etch is the stable debian release | 19:46 |
| \Kira | apo_: okay, thanks. If it doesnt work well Ill just compile from source :) | 19:46 |

| shams | how can i install AssaultCube in ubuntu? | 19:46 |
| Bodsda | \Kira, i might be wrong, -- either should work though | 19:46 |
| Flannel | \Kira: Go with lenny. It's closest to what you've got (of course, that doesn't mean it will work) | 19:46 |
| \Kira | Bodsda, Flannel: okay thanks. Ill try lenny, if it doesnt work ill just compile it from source. | 19:47 |
| OpenSores | thebloggu: Is the noise constant or intermittent? | 19:47 |
| thebloggu | OpenSores, constant | 19:47 |
| Flannel | !checkinstall | \Kira | 19:47 |
| ubottu | \Kira: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 19:47 |

| BillyJoe | How would I use the Ubuntu live boot cd to search he hard drive of a system to remove malware? | 19:49 |
| AlexCBoca | In my local office I set up a printer on 10.1.1.1 called lp19. I can print to it easily from 10.1.1.19. I have my router set to redirect port 515 to 10.1.1.1.

| OpenSores | OK. I had a similar problem of horrible white noise coming out the speaker and the moment I moved the antenna to the other side of the desk it almost went away. I untangled the wires and it went completely. | 19:52 |
| lenswipe | anyone got any ideas? | 19:52 |
| AlexCBoca | I have tried everything reasonable to correct this. | 19:52 |
| Odd-rationale | ASULutzy: it is an ati Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02), if that makes much of a difference... | 19:52 |

| samjam1 | I've filed my printer problem here, but I'm hoping someone else has an idea: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309354 | 20:13 |
| stefg | rio: so run firefox --profile-manager and try a new profile | 20:13 |
| fbc | samjam1, will apache 2 multithread? Will it split the load over all the cpu's? | 20:13 |
| Trinitrogen | Another sort of strange problem. Its a fresh install of Ibex, if a window has focus, and I mouse over the minimize/max/close buttons, sometimes the title bar at the top turns grey and the buttons disapear | 20:13 |
| samjam1 | apache2 can multi thread, it depends how you have it configured | 20:13 |
| samjam1 | however even multi-process will split over CPU's | 20:13 |
| samjam1 | (which is the normal apache mode) | 20:13 |
| rio | stefg: projectmanager not starting too | 20:13 |
| mahmood | salam | 20:14 |
| mahmood | kesi nist? | 20:14 |

| slashzul | hi guys how easy is it to upgrade to ubuntu-8.04 from 6.04? | 20:14 |
| fbc | samjam1, it's a quad core | 20:14 |
| freaknasty | my freinds AJF355 cant either | 20:14 |
| stefg | rio: so have you had swiftfox or some third-party firefox installed at any time on that machine (perhaps pre-upgrade?) | 20:15 |
| fivetwentysix | slashzul: pain in the ass. | 20:15 |
| freaknasty | it just says it cant find whatever i try to download | 20:15 |
| mahmood | i'm 8.1 bilakhy | 20:15 |
| freaknasty | are the package servers down? | 20:15 |
| samjam1 | fbc: well as long as you have enough simultaneous requests that are active at once you will use all cores. Often they will be waiting for disk I expect in which case all cores may be idle | 20:15 |
| freaknasty | anybody? | 20:15 |
| freaknasty | package servers?? | 20:15 |
| freaknasty | are the repos down? | 20:15 |
| rio | stefg: nope, just the repo version | 20:15 |

| pckchem | freaknasty: check your internet connection | 20:16 |
| Pici | freaknasty: What error are you getting? | 20:16 |
| stefg | rio: then i'd try reinstalling ... sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox | 20:16 |

| samjam1 | rio: Did you try rm -fr .mozilla/firefox to delete your firefox settings? | 20:17 |
| slashzul | Pici: think its 7.04 , so just apt-get upgrade ? | 20:17 |
| Pici | freaknasty: Can you pastebin the error that you are getting? | 20:17 |
| samjam1 | you won't need to de-install or re-install if that works | 20:17 |
| rio | samjam1: yes, with mv instead of rm :P | 20:17 |
| freaknasty | Pici: sure, | 20:17 |
| Pici | slashzul: 7.04 is no longer supported. It would be much easier to just download a new CD. | 20:17 |

| hwilde | rio, you need to adjust your themes, so follow the link from ubottu, or go ask in #ubuntustudio | 20:42 |
| hwilde | dva5912, use mplayer it works automatically | 20:42 |
| stefg | mohan43u: that is a leftover from a compresion job... safe to remove | 20:42 |
| Tomdbike | Right. I see. That is what I was worrying about. I know Ubuntu 8.10 has the latest kernel but there are a few bugs which keep me with Hardy. Plus I like Hardy cause its really stable. | 20:42 |

| tiyowan | gnome power manager is the package which controls hibernation/suspend. | 21:37 |
| awflame08 | FAJ: I'm not sure, sorry.. | 21:37 |
| simon_r | lost first bit of post. it was having problems getting a clean install | 21:37 |
| FAJ | tiyowan do you know what command it is though? for that dialog to show up? | 21:38 |
| Bodsda | how would i install a deb forcefully ignoring a dependency? | 21:38 |
| tiyowan | FAJ: First of all, do you get those options when you click on your username on the top right? | 21:38 |
| jrib | Bodsda: that's a dumb thing to do really. dependencies are dependencies for a reason. Give more details | 21:38 |
| Beererde | is there a channel for ubuntu mid edition? | 21:38 |
| FAJ | tiyowan i am in 8.04.1 | 21:38 |
| Bodsda | jrib, the dependency is not satisfiable, it has no installation candidate and recommends using the newer version (which i have) | 21:39 |
| tiyowan | FAJ: Okay. But did you get those options before? | 21:39 |
| Beererde | how is the standard gnome wm called? | 21:40 |
| FAJ | tiyowan what i did is i messed it up because I installed 8.10, so i tried to fix it in there, and then i moved back to 8.04.1, and the options stayed there | 21:40 |
| kern | nevermind i fixed my problem | 21:40 |

| Bodsda | glax, that link is good for me (8.10) | 21:44 |
| awflame08 | I'm pretty sure that the window decoraator isn't in its own package | 21:44 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: do you know why i don't have 'metacity' as a choice for seesion at the gdm screen? | 21:44 |
| jrib | Bodsda: where did you get it? I can't find a deb on maniadrive's site | 21:45 |
| simon_r | installing off the cd just causes my computer screen to go black | 21:45 |
| gringo_superstar | awflame08:still the same | 21:45 |
| tiyowan | FAJALOU: I can't seem to find anything. :( I'm running intrepid, otherwise I would've been able to help you out more. | 21:45 |

| pilky | i still see old hostname when i do things like ping etc | 21:46 |
| FAJALOU | tiyowan it's all good, i will keep asking; it's because 8.10 changed it, so it's not in 8.10, only 8.04 | 21:46 |
| jrib | Bodsda: so it's not intended to be used with intrepid since deps may be broken as you just found out. Get the source package and try to rebuild it if you want | 21:46 |
| glax | Bodsda, this is the ip that is searching 91.189.88.31 | 21:46 |
| FAJ | hi in ubuntu 8.04.1, what is the name of the user switch applet, the one that comes up when you hit ctrl alt delete? | 21:46 |

| pilky | nevermind i found the hosts setting | 21:47 |
| tiyowan | onetinsolder: Hmm...not really sure about that. Perhaps some config file setting? | 21:47 |
| simon_r | i did the cd check, however, the install is failing | 21:47 |
| Bodsda | jrib, id prefer to forcefully install it regardless of the dep first | 21:47 |
| mia_tech | anyone could help me install ubuntu over the network to my laptop? | 21:47 |
| jrib | Bodsda: install it properly, it will save you headaches later | 21:48 |
| Bodsda | glax, problem is client side -- ping returns on my machine | 21:48 |
| FreeFull | mia_tech: It's pretty easily as long as you're not trying to do it over wireless | 21:48 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: ok, i hear you. i will try and figure it out. i do have metacity installed | 21:48 |
| FreeFull | easy* | 21:48 |
| gringo_superstar | i did sudo /etc/init etc as you said and still no 3d graphics | 21:48 |
| mia_tech | FreeFull: not my laptop is connected to the network | 21:48 |
| Bodsda | jrib, thankyou for your suggestion, but do you know how to forcefullly install a deb regardless of dependencies or not? | 21:48 |

| dekushrub | i changed my time zone and location for the clock but the weather applet did not update even though the clock did? | 21:49 |

| FAJALOU | and it works | 21:49 |
| glax | but when I do aptitude install xxx it not find the ip | 21:49 |

| mimor | hischild, I don't understand what you're asking. Do you want to ping my dns server? | 22:22 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: yeah doing that | 22:22 |

| sweetgum1 | can someone tell me the name of the gtk package that installs gtk/gtk.h | 22:23 |
| raylu | dassouki: i assume that means you had some trouble with fsck? | 22:23 |
| hischild | mimor, and check if the ip it pings to is the same as what you set it to. | 22:23 |
| raylu | sweetgum1: http://packages.ubuntu.com, search contents of | 22:23 |

| raylu | dassouki: nothing bad will happen if you read fsck --help | 22:23 |
| hischild | mimor, right. you checked your firewall? | 22:23 |
| mimor | hischild, I can ssh using the dns name, not using the ip. I think you misunderstood | 22:24 |
| Flannel | FAJ: right. The stuff all the way on the right is the folder names. The third column is the UID fo those users (1003 for dad, etc) | 22:24 |
| homunq | or what terminal command lets me see keyboard state? | 22:24 |
| hischild | mimor, not at all. | 22:24 |

| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok. now i want you to delete everything for this package area in the file after the 4th line... so that there's only four lines in there for the passwd package | 22:25 |
| mimor | hischild, I can both ping the ip and the dns | 22:25 |
| hischild | mimor i didnt ask you to check your connection. I'm asking if you have a firewall or anything on your server. | 22:25 |
| hischild | mimor, and can you SSH into your server now? on both dns and ip | 22:25 |

| sweetgum1 | raylu; i found libgtk2.0-dev although when i sudo-apt get install it i receive a 404 error | 22:26 |
| Flannel | FAJ: Yeah. that *should* default to /home/theresa for a homedir, if it doesn't, you can specify it as well (or change it later) | 22:26 |

| weboide | hischild: okay, thanks for your help, ill use sudo su for now. ill see if that's a known bug. | 22:48 |
| Flannel | weboide: su asks for the root password, Ubuntu doesn't use the root account (it's locked) | 22:48 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: removed.. so now, install it again ? | 22:48 |
| LjL | Flannel: not if you're doing "su john" like he said | 22:48 |
| Flannel | weboide: `sudo -i` will get you a log in shell | 22:49 |
| weboide | Flannel: even when "su john" ? | 22:49 |
| homunq | First do 3 primaries, then an extended container, then up to 4 extendeds inside that container. demonspork: AFAIK an extended container can't hold more than 4 partitions. | 22:49 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: yes.. then answer 'Y' to installing all the new config files | 22:49 |
| Raffle | hi every time i start up ubuntu it says "Frquency Out of Range - H. Frequency 47kHz - V. Frequency 43Hz" anyone know what that is? | 22:49 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: got it.. hold on letme reinstall it | 22:49 |
| hischild | Flannel, he wants to switch users with it ... shouldn't ask for it | 22:49 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: its not asking me this time when i reinstall | 22:49 |
| tibi | Raffle: it is calibrating timers... no need to worry | 22:49 |

| LjL | Flannel: it works on Hardy here too | 22:50 |
| Hisham | homunq: Should i put /boot on primary part?? | 22:50 |

| arbir | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88093/ this is the error i am getting | 22:50 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, let's still make sure they get installed. ok? do the following.... dpkg --purge --force-depends passwd ...then reinstall it, and you will 'not' be prompted for about the new config files.. but they will be installed | 22:50 |
| weboide | LjL: su [user] works for you on hardy ? | 22:51 |

| arbir | onetinsoldier: same error, i am not able to install it | 22:52 |
| weboide | LjL: i've got -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root | 22:52 |
| homunq | but if not, just blow it all away and start fresh, much easier. | 22:52 |
| LjL | so it is | 22:52 |

| Gnea | !iptables | wiijii | 23:03 |
| ubottu | wiijii: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:03 |
| weboide | LjL, Flannel, hischild : Found it! When Its a program when you hit ctrl-c when it asks for your password it keeps the non-canonical mode activated or something like that. I think that's why. | 23:03 |
| LjL | suup: well you could always use some package that does that for generic URLs and feed it a few Ubuntu mirrors, i guess | 23:03 |
| keres | could someone be kind as to send me the intrepid wallpaper? it's real pretty :) | 23:03 |

| LjL | weboide: ah yes, i think i know what that is, a terminal mode of some description, but i didn't think su used it | 23:04 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: hmmm.. so what to do now ? :-) | 23:04 |
| blip- | shall i keep the .deb so i can uninstall in future ? | 23:04 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: reinstall the whole distro ? :-) | 23:04 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: no... lol | 23:05 |

| Phaedrus2 | raylu, if your suggesting dpkg reocnfigure did all that shit many times does nothing | 23:14 |
| bhsx | so it cant download til synaptic is done doin it's thing... | 23:14 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, even reinstalled glibc-common too | 23:14 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, nada effect mate | 23:15 |
| raylu | Phaedrus2: er...why would glibc affect your locales? | 23:15 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, because its tied in to the default "c" | 23:15 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: If you're on 8.10 afaik the STA driver can work, you can toss ndiswrapper, I did on my personal laptop | 23:15 |
| raylu | Phaedrus2: the default c? | 23:15 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, compiler | 23:15 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, it was offered ona thread as another solution | 23:15 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, Ive read like 100 threads on this so far | 23:16 |
| speaker219 | ASULutzy: didn't want to use that driver, doesn't even support wireless G speeds, and was slower | 23:16 |
| teadict | best way to break a file into pieces for posterior storage? | 23:16 |
| speaker219 | afaik (when I tried it) | 23:16 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: Eh? I get pretty good speeds on it? | 23:16 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, all say similar locale-gen then dpkg -reconfigure or reinstall | 23:16 |
| speaker219 | does it support wireless G? | 23:16 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, does nada | 23:16 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: Yes | 23:16 |
| speaker219 | hm, I must've used it a long time ago then | 23:16 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: Yea, I run g at home, and I can stream video from my desktop to the laptop wirelessly just fine | 23:16 |
| speaker219 | wait, does it support WPA2? | 23:16 |
| speaker219 | trying to remember why i didn't use it ;p | 23:17 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: I believe so, and I don't know that you have to trick out WPA_SUPPLICANT | 23:17 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, onetinsoldier do you know what is the language selector package? | 23:17 |
| ChristianBill | Can anyone help me configure my touchpad? | 23:17 |

| Weems | when Im using my usb headset I cannot get vlc to play sound... | 23:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: no, not exactly. would think it would be the locales and locales-gen packages | 23:18 |
| ribas1 | Invis: extra terrestrial? | 23:18 |
| Weems | but my headphones work normally | 23:18 |
| Invis | No, cos hes only got little legs | 23:18 |
| Invis | :D | 23:18 |
| ribas1 | :) | 23:18 |
| keres | Invis: from urbanterror? | 23:18 |
| Phaedrus2 | onats, I edited the locales both EN and LOcal manually adding the Eng and UTf properly from another thread it did crap too | 23:19 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: i am getting a diff error now | 23:19 |
| Phaedrus2 | oops onetinsoldier read up | 23:19 |
| Jacroe | how do i turn on the keyboard shortcuts so i can press CTRL + 2 and it will take me to tab 2? | 23:19 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok. | 23:19 |

| === _aperson is now known as aperson | ||
| Invis | nope | 23:19 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: i managed to upgrade most of the packages, and now, i am stuck with upgrading the kernel.. | 23:19 |
| secondgenesis | Jacroe: Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts? | 23:19 |
| Invis | what is ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| LjL | Invis: yes | 23:19 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: and this is where the passwd package is failing | 23:19 |
| LjL | !ubuntu > invis (invis, see the private message from ubottu) | 23:19 |
| wiijii | No iptables gurus around then? | 23:19 |
| ribas1 | Jacroe: wondering that myself.... | 23:20 |
| mib_975o21 | Rescue mode (not single-user) in Intrepid Ibex changed (at least from the last time I used it), anybody point me in the right direction? | 23:20 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: well, i couldn't find your message that showed a different error | 23:20 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: Yea, I would definitely at least check it out, I've been very happy so far with it, although I must admit, I was one of the few people that didn't have that much beef with ndiswrapper, it usually worked fairly well fo rme | 23:20 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: one sec.. posting it :-) | 23:20 |
| Jacroe | secondgenesis: I looked and I haven't found anything about shortcuts | 23:20 |
| ASULutzy | speaker219: Still, I'd recommend giving it a look | 23:20 |
| ChristianBill | ribas1: Did you see my message? | 23:21 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88118/ | 23:21 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: sorry, its the same error. my bad | 23:21 |
| meekatron | hello havin problems with ssh. i can access no problems over my internal network but when i try to access from the external network i cant seem to access. seem to have port forwarding all set up ok cant seem to see anything wrong anyone any ideas | 23:22 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, maybe I should do a reinstall here, I need to keep my preferences for wifi and bash, is there a quick way to backup before a reinstall? | 23:22 |
| wiijii | meekatron firewall? | 23:22 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: not your fault..i was actually reading someone else and thought it was you. i'll get back with u in a bit. keep asking about that error every so often. every few minutes... | 23:22 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, I mean everything else is working fine just that perl issue | 23:22 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: yes, i am doing that | 23:23 |
| ASULutzy | meekatron: Sounds like your port forwarding isn't setup right ;) | 23:23 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: would you like to try a thing or two first? | 23:23 |
| meekatron | wiijii: yeagh i think i have port forwarding through the router firewall | 23:23 |
| wiijii | meekatron What about iptables/firewall on the local machine? | 23:23 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, sure such as Ive tried many lol | 23:23 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: i haven't gotten to trying anything with you yet.. i was hoping raylu would have something.. but i guess not | 23:23 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, no worries | 23:23 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: its gotta be somethin stupid prob staring right at me | 23:24 |
| wiijii | Well actually no, you say the internal net can connect? | 23:24 |
| ty | hello, which would be better for webserving: debian or ubuntu? | 23:24 |
| wiijii | So the machine is allowing incoming SSH connections | 23:24 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: ok.. go to /etc/default dir... tell me when you are there | 23:24 |
| Phaedrus2 | sure | 23:24 |
| cmv583 | anyone help? | 23:24 |
| ASULutzy | meekatron: It pretty much has to be a port forwarding issue. I mean if you can do ssh 192.168.0.100 and it works, but when you do ssh your.ip.address.here and it doesn't work, then your router must not be forwarding that to the right machine | 23:24 |
| jayde_drag0n | Jack_Sparrow: hey are you around? | 23:24 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, hrmmm i dont have a /etc/defaults folder ugh.. no etsy ugh | 23:25 |
| danielbw | openoffice 3.0 crashes when i click on any of the application menus (File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Data, Window, Help) using an nxclient X11 session. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed | 23:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: yep.. reinstall | 23:25 |
| ty | !ubuntu rocks! | 23:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu rocks! | 23:25 |
| j_bsdxinu | daniel-w, force reinstall | 23:25 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, I have a default in etc not a defaults | 23:25 |
| Phaedrus2 | am I missing something? | 23:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: ok.... | 23:26 |
| onetinsoldier | then you in there? | 23:26 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, k yes | 23:26 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: i think it might just be a dumb router it is set up properly i`ll have another go.. it does ask me for a password though whe trying to access with my extern ip address which is weird i thik | 23:26 |
| Phaedrus2 | there is a locale file | 23:26 |
| danielbw | j_bsdxinu, force re-install of what? openoffice? | 23:26 |
| parthbakshi | i upgraded from ubuntu 8.04->8.10 and had no issues while upgrading /however gnome startup time is > 1.10 mins any idea how do i reduce this to some acceptable value | 23:26 |
| ASULutzy | meekatron: Oh, so you do get through... hmm, you could check /etc/ssh/ssh_config see if there's something weird in there | 23:26 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, this is what is in locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" | 23:26 |
| Phaedrus2 | LANGUAGE="en_US:en" | 23:26 |
| shake | how can I dump full make output to a file? | 23:27 |
| LjL | Phaedrus2: err, he *said* "default" to begin with | 23:27 |
| jayde_drag0n | okay to anyone who can help, i've just done a frwesh install on my system of everything windows and ubuntu (only for eq reasons) but now i need to edit my grub so it sees windows ubuntu is located "(hd1,0)" and thats /dev/sdb.. windows is located at /dev/sda.. how do i find out what the hd code is so i can enter it into the menu.lst? help a girl out?? | 23:27 |
| danielbw | j_bsdxinu, re-installing openoffice.org does not work | 23:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: ok, hmmm. mine only has.... LANG="en_US.UTF-8" ..but the second line you havemay be allright, i'm not certain. | 23:27 |
| Phaedrus2 | LjL, thank you for the correction, my apologies onetinsoldier | 23:27 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: i sort of get through on y internal ip i get my welcome banner then it asks for password.. with extern ip i dont get welcome banner but it does ask for password | 23:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: run the command locale -a | 23:28 |
| danielbw | j_bsdxinu, I've already done that twice... | 23:28 |
| Phaedrus2 | k | 23:28 |
| LjL | shake: i guess like with anything else, "make >filename" | 23:28 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, has errors at top which I posted to pastebin earlier | 23:28 |
| shake | LjL: I can't get full output to file like that :\ | 23:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: make a backup of the file, take out the second line, and try again | 23:28 |
| ASULutzy | meekatron: Oh, that doesn't sound like a port forwarding issue anymore... I'd paste your /etc/ssh/ssh_config to a pastebin | 23:28 |
| LjL | shake: well, stderr will not be redirected with that syntax, is that the issue? | 23:29 |
| parthbakshi | i upgraded from ubuntu 8.04->8.10 and had no issues while upgrading /however gnome startup time is > 1.10 mins any idea how do i reduce this to some acceptable value | 23:29 |
| m0u5e | where is resolution information stored in gnome...? | 23:29 |
| shake | yes.. I guess | 23:29 |
| bhsx | ok everything's working, thanks ASULutzy | 23:29 |
| ASULutzy | bhsx: No problem, glad to hear it | 23:29 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, same error | 23:29 |
| AndreasMadrid | hi! | 23:30 |
| m0u5e | like... where is monitor resolution stuff stored? | 23:30 |
| shake | LjL: yes.. I guess | 23:30 |
| jayde_drag0n | okay to anyone who can help, i've just done a frwesh install on my system of everything windows and ubuntu (only for eq reasons) but now i need to edit my grub so it sees windows ubuntu is located "(hd1,0)" and thats /dev/sdb.. windows is located at /dev/sda.. how do i find out what the hd code is so i can enter it into the menu.lst? help a girl out?? and if you are looking it up, could you say something to me to i don't spam the | 23:30 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, is a symlink missing or somethinjg?\ | 23:30 |
| AndreasMadrid | why can i install only 4 keyboard layouts in the panel? | 23:30 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: dang.. i'm not sure what to think. i can try and dig around a little | 23:30 |
| LjL | shake: then try "make >filename 2>&1" | 23:30 |
| shake | LjL: thx | 23:31 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, ahh its cool, on another notE i think im gonna reinstall to fix all this mess from going from xubuntu to ubuntu in one system, I need to backup my bash rc and my etho wirless config, | 23:31 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: /dev/sda is (hd0,0) | 23:31 |
| ASULutzy | well, /dev/sda1 is | 23:31 |
| arktvrvs | is there a package to install all the manpages that seem to be missing? like regex(3).. | 23:31 |
| jayde_drag0n | ASULutzy: thank you!!! i'll try that and be back with results | 23:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: ok, sorry i couldn't help.. i wish i could figure out what the heck is wrong there! | 23:32 |
| parthbakshi | i upgraded from ubuntu 8.04->8.10 and had no issues while upgrading /however gnome startup time is > 1.10 mins any idea how do i reduce this to some acceptable value | 23:32 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: If you want to be trickier, you can do sudo blkid /dev/sda1 | 23:32 |
| LjL | arktvrvs: that page is probably in "manpages-dev" | 23:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: good luck man | 23:32 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: and that will you the UUID of the drive, but eh | 23:32 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, no worries, do you know off hand how to backup wireless config and passwords? im checking online now | 23:32 |
| jayde_drag0n | ASULutzy: i'm not sure how it would want me to type that.. let me try it the first way.. if thats not it.. i'll come back and you can help me walk thru it?? | 23:33 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, whops got booted | 23:33 |
| arktvrvs | thanks LjL | 23:33 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: Yea, the easiest way is probably to just do the root (hd0,0) (If windows is on /dev/sda1) | 23:33 |
| arbir | anybody can help me with this problem please ? WARNING: Module /lib/modules/2.6.27-10-generic/kernel/ubuntu/via_chrome9/via_chrome9.ko is not an elf object Failed to run depmod | 23:33 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: nope. at least not for wireless. and as far as passwords go.. i'm not certain it'd be a good idea to try and back them up but i might know where they are | 23:33 |
| raylu | ASULutzy: i find it easier to answer "devices.map" and "sudo fdisk -l" | 23:34 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: ??? i think u addressed the wrong message to me :-) | 23:34 |
| Phaedrus2 | anyone know how to backup a wireless config? | 23:34 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: oops.. sorry | 23:34 |
| ASULutzy | raylu: Yea, I would have done sudo fdisk -l (but she said she knew it was /dev/sda) | 23:34 |
| raylu | Phaedrus2: the networkmanager config? | 23:34 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: nope. at least not for wireless. and as far as passwords go.. i'm not certain it'd be a good idea to try and back them up but i might know where they are | 23:34 |
| arbir | anybody can help me with this problem please ? WARNING: Module /lib/modules/2.6.27-10-generic/kernel/ubuntu/via_chrome9/via_chrome9.ko is not an elf object Failed to run depmod | 23:34 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, im just trying to backup my config so when I reinstall I dont have to do ti all over again | 23:35 |
| raylu | arbir: have you tried running depmod manually? | 23:35 |
| raylu | Phaedrus2: i thought you were reinstalling xubuntu? | 23:35 |
| arbir | raylu: how do i do that ? | 23:35 |
| ASULutzy | raylu: Though, she didn't say that it was /dev/sda1 specifically, I just assumed that, which in retrospect is dumb, since she could have one of those tricky factory restore type partitions and Windows could actually be on /dev/sda2 | 23:35 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: for passwords.. i beleive it's be the files... /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow | 23:35 |
| raylu | arbir: i'd tell you, but i'm not on ubuntu right now | 23:35 |
| arbir | raylu: what are u on ? | 23:35 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, I am but I lost my wpa key and need to keep the one I have on here in the config file | 23:35 |
| arbir | raylu: WIN - DOS ? :-) | 23:35 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok,, get anywhere yet?? | 23:35 |
| raylu | arbir: vista + cygterm | 23:35 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: nowhere yet | 23:36 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, wirless passwords too? | 23:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: no ideas there | 23:36 |
| raylu | Phaedrus2: again, is it configured in networkmanager? | 23:36 |
| ASULutzy | raylu: You can view your wireless password via network manager pretty easily | 23:36 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: its the linuxkernel packages that are causing this update issue, all other packages updated nicely | 23:36 |
| ASULutzy | raylu: Sorry mistel, was meant for Phaedrus2 | 23:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: i have no idea about wireless or wireless passwords | 23:36 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: sorry about the wait not too hot running around the command line... http://pastebin.com/m57b96001 | 23:36 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, I know Im looking for the config file itself like etho config etc.. | 23:36 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: just so that you know, ihad enabled backport | 23:36 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ahh, good. and/or bad? | 23:36 |
| raylu | Phaedrus2: /etc/network/interfaces | 23:37 |
| ASULutzy | Phaedrus2: If you are going to do it, you should add /etc/group to the aforementioned /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow | 23:37 |
| shake | LjL: I'm getting different errors when i stream it to file. Can it cause another errors? Seems strange. | 23:37 |
| Phaedrus2 | raylu, already there lol but thanks cool | 23:37 |
| Jeaton | what's a good webserver for linux? | 23:38 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, i don't know what to think of enabling backports. you didn't enable 'proposed updates'... correct? | 23:38 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: basically three packages | 23:38 |
| arbir | 1. Linux-headers-2.6.27-10 , Linux-headers-2.6.27-10-generic and Linux-headers-generic | 23:38 |
| ASULutzy | meekatron: Do you also have the output of /etc/ssh/ssh_config (instead of sshd_config), I'm wondering if you have the host * line | 23:38 |
| raylu | Jeaton: apache/lighttpd | 23:38 |
| Jeaton | thanks | 23:38 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: let me check | 23:38 |
| allsystemsarego | is avahi critical to the functioning of Ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| jayde_drag0n | ASULutzy: okay i tried that.. and i got the error NTLDR is missing.. did i do it right? the way i re-did my whole computer... i wiped everything off all drives... installed windows first on the first hard drive (because i know that grub would be missing.. then i installed ubuntu on the second drive.. and now just edited grub to resolve the boot issue.. did my installations cause the problem.. or did i put the wrong thing into GRUB? | 23:38 |
| Amun | why should i switch from windows to ubuntu? i don't game hardly... except solitaire... what are the HIGH points of it? | 23:38 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: oops give me a sec | 23:38 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: do sudo fdisk -l and paste the output to a pastebin | 23:38 |
| arbir | all are checked onetinsoldier | 23:39 |
| raylu | Amun: your mouse is slow, your keyboard is fast => the terminal is awesome | 23:39 |
| gimpscape | what is the proper way of disabling services in Ubuntu? I used to eydit filenames in /etc/rc3/ under Debian, but that directory is empty in Ubuntu | 23:39 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: pre-released updates and backports | 23:39 |
| LjL | shake: seems strange indeed | 23:39 |
| raylu | gimpscape: update-rc.d, invoke-rc.d | 23:39 |
| ASULutzy | Amun: This is something to google, but in a nut shell, no viruses, no malware/spyware, it's completely open source and free (not just free in price, but free as in you can modify it how you see fit), it's considerably more secure, the community is awesome, and the next release is going to be "Jaunty Jackalope", (Jackalope is an awesome animal)... So those are a few ;P | 23:39 |
| jayde_drag0n | ASULutzy: http://pastebin.com/m5e09520f | 23:40 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ahhhh, i see | 23:40 |
| raylu | ASULutzy, Amun: on the downside, the current release is named "Interped Ibex"... | 23:40 |
| Izinucs | Amun: no virus's, spyware etc. most everything you use the computer for is either preinstalled or available with just a couple clicks. It's also a great new adventure! Learn something new.. and your computer won't go out of date nearly as fast as on WinXx | 23:40 |
| DjViper | gimpscape: you can do that from the services menu | 23:40 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, you ready to fix this? | 23:40 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: Hmmm, and what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst look like | 23:40 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: so, now what can be done ? what is the cause of this error!!! i am ready to fix this | 23:40 |
| raylu | *intrepid | 23:40 |
| jayde_drag0n | just a sec i'll paste bin it | 23:40 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok... cd /var/cache/apt/archives | 23:41 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: alright | 23:41 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: http://pastebin.com/m72f2aa42 | 23:41 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: in there | 23:41 |
| jayde_drag0n | ASULutzy: http://pastebin.com/d5436d542 | 23:41 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: where are you based ? US or elsewhere ? | 23:41 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: yes... Denver, Colorado USA | 23:42 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: and you? | 23:42 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, I even reinstalled language selector didnt work either as an aside | 23:42 |
| raylu | jayde_drag0n: you'll want to put it either before or after the debian automagic stuff | 23:42 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: Calgary, ALberta, Canada | 23:42 |
| ASULutzy | jayde_drag0n: that looks right to me, the only thing I can think of is add it after the automagic section | 23:43 |
| arbir | its a cold day @ onetinsoldier | 23:43 |
| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: roger that. good try. dang. i can't believe this can't be fixed! | 23:43 |
| jayde_drag0n | ASULutzy: so erase where its at and repaste under the bottom ### | 23:43 |
| Phaedrus2 | onetinsoldier, no shi&* it sucks, its killing me to reinstall that reminds me of winblows too much | 23:43 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: -8F or -22C, with wind chill its -23F or -30C | 23:43 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: been cold here lately too. must be coming from you guys up there. thanks :-P | 23:43 |

| onetinsoldier | Phaedrus2: i'll bet this can be fixed, we just don't know how. it still may be something with glibc/libc6 | 23:44 |
| gimpscape | why I don't see services such as CUPS daemon or MPD under System -> Administration -> Services? I'm sure they are started everytime when I boot | 23:45 |

| Phaedrus2 | Ltl, this maybe the solution Im working on it | 23:56 |
| arktvrvs | lordapex2: you wont get the full 4gigs | 23:56 |
| raylu | white-sheep: are both running linux? | 23:56 |
| arktvrvs | as its reserved for PCI addresses and such | 23:56 |
| white-sheep | raylu -- To be more specific -- Sync-ing both ~/ together. | 23:56 |
| arktvrvs | unless youve a 64bit machine i think | 23:57 |
| lordapex2 | arktvrvs: 10-4 | 23:57 |
| white-sheep | raylu -- Yes, same arch version -- amd64. | 23:57 |
| onetinsoldier | lordapex2: i think that's due to the linux kernel reserving some LOWMEM area | 23:57 |
| Ltl | RickZilla: put the bin in /home/user chmod 755 googleearth.bin then just ./googleearth.bin ; may require sudo, worked for me. | 23:57 |
| raylu | white-sheep: you have a few options. sshfs, nfs, rsync... | 23:57 |

| arbir | onetinsoldier: it worked.. no error | 23:58 |
| lordapex2 | arktvrvs: so is that the limit or can you use the high mem kernel to allow for more the 4gb? | 23:58 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: omg! cool... ok. now wait a moment, i'm thinking | 23:58 |
| Ltl | lordapex2: are you running 32 bit, only x86_64 will see 4gb iirc | 23:58 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88130/ | 23:58 |
| Neff | has anyone here installed ubuntu on a HP notebook? | 23:58 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: tell me if something catches ur eye! | 23:58 |
| lordapex2 | Ltl: yeah 32bit but i was under the impression you could load a 32bit with more then 4gigs if you use a different kernel? | 23:59 |
| white-sheep | Phaedrus2 -- If I installed few said apps, then sync -- Would it appear on the laptop over there? Will Aptitude over there even recognize it too? | 23:59 |

| eseven73 | white-sheep: for cloning aptitude check out aptoncd | 23:59 |
| eseven73 | !aptoncd | 23:59 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 23:59 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok... do you really want those older kernel versions around? | 23:59 |
