| arbir | onetinsoldier: no.. i only want one working version | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| arbir | onetinsoldier: rest can goto the trash for all i care | 00:00 |
| raylu | white-sheep: it sounds like what you want is to mount /home with NFS. if the laptop is ever unable to connect ot the desktop, though, you're screwed | 00:00 |
| raylu | *to | 00:00 |
| meekatron | ASULutzy: got it sorted it was the router. dumb thing there was a option in security tab to open ports which didnt work.. but then i found a sub section in the virtualserver menu which had port forwarding in it, and that sorted it.. | 00:00 |
| white-sheep | raylu -- Not mounting -- Sync. | 00:00 |
| white-sheep | eseven73 -- I don't want to create disc then install on the laptop -- I want to know if syncing is possible. | 00:01 |
| raylu | white-sheep: right... look into rsync, i guess | 00:01 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: does this new kernel have ext4 support | 00:01 |
| eseven73 | white-sheep: Rsync or Unison then | 00:01 |
| Anarchy | Hi, im need to recompile PHP5 im on ubuntu 8.04 LAMP, can anyone give me a link or something on how this is done?? | 00:01 |
| raylu | Anarchy: very painfully | 00:01 |
| white-sheep | Okay. Will give it a try -- Thank raylu + eseven73 + Phaedrus2 | 00:01 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, then dpkg --purge them... dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic ..tell me if that runs ok | 00:01 |
| Anarchy | so i hear lol | 00:01 |
| raylu | Anarchy: any reason why you need to recompile? | 00:02 |
| eseven73 | Luckily theres a GUI for Unison and Rsync, just look in the repos for Grsync and Unison-GKT or something like that | 00:02 |
| Anarchy | to add some encryption functions | 00:02 |
| eseven73 | you're welcome white-sheep | 00:02 |
| raylu | Anarchy: download the modules from the repository | 00:02 |
| loca|host | i have a USB Wifi dongle wich takes wlan0 interface name everytime i plug it to my USB connector, i need to run a triggred script when that dongle (and only that) is plugged, anyone know how ? | 00:02 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: from the same directory > | 00:02 |
| arbir | ? | 00:02 |
| alaska | I burned Intrepid to a CD the same way I did for Hardy and when I restart my computer I still get the grub menu. | 00:02 |
| Anarchy | mcrypt | 00:02 |
| Ltl | lordapex2: 32 bit has a limit, that subject is beyond me. google has a ton of info though. | 00:02 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: doesn' even matter what directory you are in at all for that command | 00:03 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: its showing me error | 00:03 |
| raylu | loca|host: i think "man interfaces" will start you off | 00:03 |
| Anarchy | ok | 00:03 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: i 'think' the newer kernels have etx4 support | 00:03 |
| raylu | Anarchy: that's definitely in the repositories | 00:03 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88133/ | 00:03 |
| Anarchy | right i have downloaded it | 00:03 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: i'm not sure. i know the latest beta 2.6.28 ones do | 00:04 |
| raylu | Anarchy: restart your httpd | 00:04 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: the machine is asking me to reboot | 00:04 |
| loca|host | raylu, ok i know those if-up if-post-up ... triggers, what i meant is to detect a specific device to run a trigger on, not an interface, things shall be done using udev as i'm googling, so just orient me if am wrong ... | 00:04 |
| Anarchy | and restarted apache no love | 00:04 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: don't do it yet | 00:04 |
| raylu | Anarchy: how did you download it? | 00:04 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: aright... | 00:04 |
| Anarchy | apt-get | 00:04 |
| rvirding | I am running a dual boot ubuntu 8.10 on a DELL XPS M1330 laptop and have what I hope is a simple question: Soon after I boot ubuntu the fan starts going at full speed and basically doesn't stop until I turn the machine off. This is irrespective of what I am doing. The 1330 is a nice machine but the fan is irritating. On windows the fan follows the work load on the machine. How and where do I... | 00:05 |
| rvirding | ...control this? I have not done any tuning so far. The fan is driving me nuts, but apart from that everything seems to work straight out of the box. | 00:05 |
| raylu | loca|host: pre-up is run only if the interface exists, i believe | 00:05 |
| raylu | Anarchy: what was the package name? | 00:05 |
| miles_ | nvi | 00:05 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: dpkg --purge dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic | 00:05 |
| Anarchy | raylu: one second plz | 00:05 |
| alaska | I burned Intrepid to a CD the same way I did for Hardy and when I restart my computer I still get the grub menu. | 00:05 |
| miles_ | rvirding, what is your gaphic card? ATI? | 00:05 |
| kdogg | . | 00:05 |
| raylu | Anarchy: you're using apache2, right? | 00:05 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: then show me the errors | 00:05 |
| Anarchy | raylu: yes | 00:06 |
| kdogg | . | 00:06 |
| loca|host | raylu, if i bring another wifi dongle, it can take the same interface name, and what if my script was designed to work with one hardware and not another ... (am turning my wifi interface into "master" mode, wich isnt supported by most of the devices) | 00:06 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: sorry, i had typo'd there, as i'm hoping you can tell | 00:06 |
| rvirding | miles_: NVIDIA Geforce 8800M GS | 00:06 |

| mike2001 | i need help to reinstall windows Vista and ubuntu | 00:08 |
| raylu | loca|host: if you use another dongle, it should be wlan1 (i think) | 00:08 |
| alaska | OK I'll try a different approach. I'm re-downloading Intrepid. I'd like to burn the disc in Ubuntu instead of Windows. How might I do that? | 00:08 |
| Anarchy | raylu: ok imma restart apache | 00:08 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: so, shall i restart now ? | 00:09 |
| radek | quit | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: no. do... dpkg -l linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic | 00:09 |
| rvirding | miles_: do you have any idea what it could be and how to fix it? Or where i can get more info? | 00:09 |
| raylu | arbir: you should look inside /lib/modules/... | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: do they show as uninstalled? | 00:09 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: let me check | 00:10 |
| white-sheep | Does anybody know if unison2.13.16-gtk are good? | 00:10 |
| darnell | anyone know any good handwriting recognition software for ubuntu? maybe voice rec too? | 00:10 |
| Ltl | alaska: brasero at low speed, burn as image | 00:10 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88138/ | 00:10 |
| eseven73 | white-sheep: if thats the one in the repos yep | 00:10 |
| * raylu thinks dpkg needs colors | 00:11 | |
| raylu | and apt | 00:11 |
| * eseven73 agrees | 00:11 | |
| white-sheep | eseven73 -- Can you be more specific -- If it's in sudo aptitude search, then yes it is? | 00:11 |
| * raylu <3s emerge's colors | 00:11 | |
| arbir | raylu: whats inside /lib/modules/... | 00:11 |
| eseven73 | aye white-sheep | 00:11 |
| mike2001 | i need help with dual boot ubuntu and vista | 00:11 |
| raylu | arbir: dpkg - warning: while removing linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic, directory `/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic' not empty so not removed. | 00:11 |
| alaska | ok Ltl, thank you. | 00:11 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as insonne | ||

| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, looks good. they're gone... now. i think the system is going to keep wanting/prompting you to install that kernel package that was giving you problems. take off the 'proposed updates' repo | 00:12 |
| eseven73 | yw | 00:12 |
| mike2001 | well i mean have both on computer and start either one | 00:12 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: just doing that | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok.. good. then reboot | 00:13 |
| mrpockets | hi | 00:13 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: oh.. wait | 00:13 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: ok waiting | 00:13 |
| onetinsoldier | did you take off the proposed updates repo? | 00:13 |
| mike2001 | ty | 00:13 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: did you take off the proposed updates repo? | 00:13 |
| mrpockets | anyone know of a song editing program? | 00:13 |
| mrpockets | all i relaly wanna do is pull a chunk out of this song and save it as an MP3 for a ringtone | 00:14 |
| raylu | mrpockets: audacity | 00:14 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: yes i did | 00:14 |
| eseven73 | white-sheep: and of course the first rsync or unison backup will take ages, but after that its very fast because its only updating newer files after the first go around. Kinda obvious, but i just wanted to let you know what to expect :) | 00:14 |
| darnell | anyone know any good handwriting recognition software for ubuntu? maybe voice rec too? | 00:14 |
| raylu | mrpockets: oh. that's probably overkill for what you want, but it'll do it | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, good! hang on | 00:14 |
| arbir | shall i also delete the directory --> /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic | 00:14 |
| arbir | ? | 00:14 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: shall i delete /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic | 00:14 |
| arbir | ? | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: yes | 00:14 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: alright | 00:14 |
| arktvrvs | jeff_: im curious, how fast is your connection and how much do you pay? | 00:14 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier, arbir: it's nice to see what's in it first... | 00:15 |
| miles_ | rvirding, no clue, sorry. I had the same problem with my laptop and it was because of the proprietary ATI drivers (faulty). No fixes, and my laptop actually had a short life because of this :/ | 00:15 |
| n8tuser | arbir-> before you do, are you running the same 2.6.27-7-generic? | 00:15 |
| miles_ | It was litterally burning inside | 00:15 |
| arbir | n8tuser: oh damn! | 00:15 |
| arbir | too late , i removed it | 00:15 |
| raylu | n8tuser: no, he just purged it | 00:15 |
| CAiRO | hi | 00:15 |
| n8tuser | arbir-> oh well, too late.. | 00:15 |
| arbir | raylu: there was a file in it...... i know , just one file | 00:15 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: allright, is it time to reboot ? | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: no, not yet | 00:16 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: alright.. waiting | 00:16 |
| CAiRO | i've compiled my own kernel with PAE enalbed and everything works fine so far, except that the update manager always tries to overwrite my custom kernel packages | 00:16 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: ok, i hear you | 00:16 |
| CAiRO | what could be the reason for that? | 00:16 |
| CAiRO | the packages from the repository arent any newer | 00:16 |
| templaedhel | HELP! windows doesn't get past the welcome to windows xp screen! I have no idea what to do, I think I screwed up partitons | 00:17 |
| rvirding | miles_: damn, macosx and freebsd had problems with network drivers so I was happy when ubuntu worked. Don't want to blow machine though. :-( | 00:17 |
| mike2001 | ok if i installed ubuntu and my recovery disk dont work for vista | 00:17 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: now, before rebooting, you could remove the -9 kernel you have too, you did seem to want to do that | 00:17 |
| tsrk | templaedhel, you might want to go to a windows support channel | 00:17 |
| mrpockets | raylu, this is perfect! | 00:17 |
| templaedhel | is there one on here freenode? | 00:17 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: how do i do that > | 00:17 |
| raylu | mrpockets: while you have audacity, you might as well open a song and set it to play twice as fast. it's funny if you don't modify the pitch :D | 00:18 |
| eseven73 | its ##windows | 00:18 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: i can do that, after i boot into the latest kernel | 00:18 |
| tsrk | templaedhel, not sure, try #windows? | 00:18 |
| raylu | CAiRO: you have one of the linux-image virtual packages installed | 00:18 |
| miles_ | rvirding, my laptop suffered form 80°C temps, maybe it's just the fans on your side | 00:18 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: i'm not sure i have the name of this one right or not.. try dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic | 00:18 |
| arbir | miles_: bring it here , its -25 here | 00:18 |
| raylu | CAiRO: and i don't think it would *overwrite* the kernel. it should download it to a -generic folder | 00:19 |
| raylu | *directory | 00:19 |
| * raylu slaps self for saying folder | 00:19 | |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: tell me a command to list all the available kernels | 00:19 |
| miles_ | :) | 00:19 |
| mrpockets | yeah, I've used Adobe Audition and cake walk to do a lot of post process mixdowns for my band | 00:19 |
| rvirding | miles_: I think it's the fans as air coming out is cool, just wish it set fan to cpu load. | 00:19 |
| mrpockets | so i'm pretty familiar with the art | 00:19 |
| raylu | mrpockets: oh, nevermind then :( | 00:19 |
| mrpockets | lol | 00:19 |
| CAiRO | raylu: if i install the "update" of the kernel image it will overwrite my kernel | 00:19 |
| mrpockets | but it is fun :-p | 00:19 |
| tesseracter | is there a smaller channel for help with Network Manager Applet? or a place i can find cli documentation? | 00:19 |
| raylu | mrpockets: it's only funny if it's the first time | 00:19 |
| CAiRO | raylu: ok, thanks for the hint, ill try to remove the virtual package | 00:20 |
| raylu | CAiRO: no, you should have both kernels installed and both as boot options in grub | 00:20 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: i need to really reboot.. i am having this itch, worse, than when i would want to rush to the washroom :-) | 00:20 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: it's stange..i have been trying to do that and have been getting an unexpected response here... normally it'd be dpkg -l linux-image* | 00:20 |
| raylu | CAiRO: ah, i remember now. linux-image-generic | 00:20 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: you will be rebooting very soon | 00:20 |
| urinal-mini | wow, first time ubuntu user and im kicked to their proprietary irc network | 00:20 |
| CAiRO | raylu: well, ive intentionally tried to give it the same name to avoid other problems | 00:20 |
| urinal-mini | wow | 00:20 |
| arbir | 5.30, my mother wants a ride | 00:20 |
| raylu | urinal-mini: it's a redirect to freenode... | 00:21 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: oh, i see | 00:21 |
| urinal-mini | ah | 00:21 |
| urinal-mini | makes sense to me | 00:21 |
| raylu | urinal-mini: and how can irc networks be "proprietary"? | 00:21 |
| arbir | its 5.20 now... :-) | 00:21 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: go ahead.. reboot if you like.. won't hurt anything | 00:21 |
| urinal-mini | jane get me off this crazy thing, etc, etc | 00:21 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: thanks.... i will be back in 2 mins | 00:21 |
| urinal-mini | not the terminology i meant, but the point got across raylu | 00:21 |
| raylu | urinal-mini: oh. also, given that your name is not jane, i am confused | 00:22 |
| eseven73 | that guy was seriously trolling or something | 00:22 |
| alaska | OK wtf. Every time I DL intrepid it stops in the middle. | 00:22 |
| CAiRO | raylu: ok, i've removed linux-generic and linux-image-generic but the update manager still tries to overwrite my custom packages | 00:22 |
| raylu | CAiRO: um...that would be a bad idea; that causes problems | 00:22 |
| raylu | CAiRO: also, that makes it... not a generic kernel, no? | 00:23 |
| templaedhel | if I were to show a screenshot of my partitons could someone tell me the correct grub settings for my windows partiton? | 00:23 |
| CAiRO | raylu: well, it works for me right now.. i would have other problems if i choose a different name | 00:23 |
| DasEi | ? another machine here is booting up to "running local boot scripts in rc.local" and then hangs. rc.local is empty ,with exit 0. syslog/kernlog shows nothing. When booting in safemode as root, no network. hints ? | 00:23 |
| CAiRO | eg with the restricted modules | 00:23 |
| raylu | CAiRO: no, you wouldn't | 00:23 |
| R0b0t1 | Is there a way to change the computers' name? EG, the name that appears in the terminal. | 00:24 |
| raylu | CAiRO: the restricted modules are compiled against the kernel anyway. you need to do that yourself now, and circumventing that will cause problems | 00:24 |
| onetinsoldier | CAiRO: you compiled you own custom kernel? | 00:24 |
| arktvrvs | R0b0t1: edit /etc/hosts | 00:24 |
| raylu | arktvrvs: i don't think that'll do it... | 00:25 |
| DasEi | R0b0t1: | 00:25 |
| DasEi | !hostname | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 00:25 |
| CAiRO | onetinsoldier: well, basically ive used apt-get source to get the source of the generic kernel image and then ive changed one option | 00:25 |
| arbir | is back | 00:25 |
| R0b0t1 | DasEi: Thank you! | 00:25 |
| * raylu is away | 00:25 | |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: i am back.. rebooted safely | 00:25 |
| DasEi | np | 00:25 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: lets see how the update manager works now | 00:25 |
| arktvrvs | ah thats right, /etc/hostname | 00:25 |
| arktvrvs | and /etc/hosts to go along with it | 00:26 |
| CAiRO | raylu: yes, ive recompiled them.. but if i used a different flavour than generic, i would have to do changed in the restricted modules package, wouldnt i? | 00:26 |
| oOarthurOo | I need help setting up mldonkey... I've got it installed, the gui and the server, but I can't do anything with it. | 00:26 |
| onetinsoldier | CAiRO: roger.. i compile my own custom kernels sometimes. did you use the kernel-package package to make and install it? | 00:26 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: roger that! | 00:26 |
| geimhre | alright, flashplayer 10 doesn't do anything, flashplayer 9 screws up youtube and kills my memory. I can't get rid of it | 00:26 |
| raylu | CAiRO: ...that's not the point | 00:26 |
| raylu | CAiRO: you have to make those changes anyway | 00:26 |
| raylu | CAiRO: the restricted modules are compiled against the kernel | 00:26 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: it says system is upto-date, i have disabled, backports and proposed updates | 00:26 |
| CAiRO | raylu: not right now, ive edited only one kernel config file and compiled | 00:26 |
| raylu | CAiRO: recompiling kernel => recompile relevant restricted modules | 00:26 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: ok, w00oties! | 00:27 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: thakns a ton! | 00:27 |
| CAiRO | raylu: yes, but without manual interaction | 00:27 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: it really helps now./ | 00:27 |
| raylu | CAiRO: huh? | 00:27 |
| raylu | CAiRO: what happens without manual interaction? | 00:27 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: you're welcome! :-) | 00:27 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: now, where can i get the latest chrome for ubuntu ? | 00:27 |
| CAiRO | raylu: yes, ive recompiled them.. but if i used a different flavour than generic, i would have to do changed in the restricted modules package, wouldnt i? | 00:27 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: i'm not sure | 00:27 |
| Neff | does anyone know why installer would not show my HDD even though gparted can see it? | 00:27 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: its run thru wine, that i know | 00:27 |
| raylu | CAiRO: ...for the third time, you have to make those changes anyway! | 00:27 |
| CAiRO | right now i didnt | 00:27 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Megazig | ||
| onetinsoldier | arbir: i have no idea really | 00:27 |
| CAiRO | i dont have to do them | 00:27 |
| jrib | Neff: did you read the release notes? | 00:27 |
| CAiRO | if i keep the name of the flavour | 00:28 |
| Neff | jrib: no | 00:28 |
| raylu | CAiRO: why not? the number of options you change doesn't make a difference (except in how soon something breaks) | 00:28 |
| jrib | !notes > Neff | 00:28 |
| ubottu | Neff, please see my private message | 00:28 |
| arbir | onetinsoldier: no probs.... but thanks for all the help so far.. i must rush now, its 5.30. my mom is waiting | 00:28 |
| jrib | Neff: they mention the issue | 00:28 |
| DasEi | Neff: does bios see it ? | 00:28 |
| arbir | thanks raylu! | 00:28 |
| raylu | CAiRO: cairo, the name is merely a name. if i rename my /etc/fstab to /boot/grub/menu.lst, that doesn't solve any problems | 00:28 |
| CAiRO | raylu: the name of hte flavour makes the difference | 00:28 |
| CAiRO | raylu: sure, the build process has those names hardcoded | 00:28 |
| Neff | DasEi yes windows does too | 00:28 |
| onetinsoldier | arbir: get to it then. you're welcome. see you later... :-) | 00:28 |
| Neff | and gparted does too | 00:28 |
| Neff | but installer doesn't | 00:28 |
| CAiRO | at least if i read those howtos correctly | 00:28 |
| raylu | o.0 | 00:29 |
| raylu | perhaps. but i have to go now; good luck | 00:29 |
| bhsx | ok so... i HAD wireless working... bcm4318, through the Hardware Drivers proprietary driver setup... i did an update THROUGH my wireless... then on reboot it Hardware Drivers says i dont have proprietary hardware | 00:29 |
| bhsx | can anyone help get that working again? | 00:30 |

| tvaughn | 192.168.1.1 | 00:49 |
| wos | i cant forward ports | 00:49 |

| hwilde | bshak1, type in "man cp" | 00:50 |
| tvaughn | true KillerOrca | 00:50 |
| hwilde | bshak1, see the option -R, -r, --recursive; copy directories recursively | 00:50 |
| tvaughn | wos, does it say anything in the web interface about port triggering? | 00:51 |
| tvaughn | or anything about ports at all? | 00:51 |
| Mal3ko | he wants to move folder contents, so mv -R folder/ newfolder/ | 00:51 |
| hwilde | bshak1, so you want something like cp -r SOURCE DEST | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | bshak1, If you really want to move files rather than copy them use "mv" | 00:51 |
| wos | yes tvaughn | 00:52 |
| tvaughn | triggering? | 00:52 |
| Neff | jrib: now it shows my flash drive but still no HDD | 00:52 |
| wos | both but i tried using port forwarding to forward amule ports earlier and it didnt work | 00:52 |

| radlipat | Trinitrogen: there is a safe format | 01:15 |
| radlipat | i do believe | 01:16 |

| radlipat | bazhang: ty | 01:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | shoxy-: what wireless card? | 01:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Kelen: so do i. when you press the g to get the packages, you can see all the packages are going to be installed. at that point... | 01:18 |
| shoxy- | its an intel pro | 01:19 |

| radlipat | Trinitrogen: see pm | 01:19 |
| onetinsoldier | Kelen: you can use the down arrow, then press enter on any/all packages to see what it say about them. but that may not be what you're looking for | 01:19 |

| onetinsoldier | Kelen: ok, you do know about highlighting and pressing Enter on a package to view/read what it's about, correct? | 01:23 |
| Kingsy101 | lol I have been in ubuntu-eeepc for about 4 hours now and no-one has said ANYTHING heh | 01:23 |
| Kelen | onetinsoldier: just about.. | 01:24 |
| templaedhel | can anyone here help me with a quick partitionijng question? | 01:24 |
| fzellinger | shoot | 01:24 |
| onetinsoldier | Kelen: open up aptitude right now... then search for or go to a package, any package, then press Enter on your keyboard. tell me if that's what you're looking for | 01:25 |
| fzellinger | (what's your partitioning question) | 01:25 |
| templaedhel | *asking* | 01:25 |
| templaedhel | okay so I have this setup right now, and windows doesn't work http://imagebin.org/33966 someone said that I need to have windows first, so I'm going to move it infront of the linux one. then in the grub file will the ubuntu be (hd0,2) and the windows be (hd0,1) | 01:27 |
| Izinucs | If my system recognized my scanner and I installed the provided scanning software and drivers in wine, is there a way to pass the device info along to an application in wine? | 01:27 |

| templaedhel | fzellinger:^ | 01:28 |
| jayde_drag0n | hey i've got no sound from flash in firefox and i've already installed libflashsupport.. anyone? | 01:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Kelen: btw, after you have pressed Enter on a package and can see it's details, you can use the down-arrow to go down to the tree-like area under 'Depends'(for example)... you can expand the tree by using the [ and ] keys(the bracket keys on your keyboard_ | 01:28 |
| Izinucs | BazookaAce: maybe getting hot? | 01:28 |
| BazookaAce | Izinucs: Maybe! donno! | 01:28 |
| jayde_drag0n | anyone help a girl out? no sound in firefox.. libflashsupport already installed | 01:29 |
| templaedhel | close your other sound applications the re open ff see if that works | 01:30 |
| fzellinger | Ugh...your picture shows you mixing primary and extended partitions. | 01:30 |
| jayde_drag0n | templaedhel: no | 01:30 |
| Kelen | onetinsoldier: :) thanks advance.. | 01:31 |
| aaaaa | can someone tell me how to hid ip in ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| onetinsoldier | Kelen: you're welcome | 01:31 |
| jayde_drag0n | templaedhel: and thats not a solution.. i want to keep rhythmbox in my taskbar | 01:31 |
| templaedhel | fzellinger: ya, but it started like that | 01:31 |
| n8tuser | what is the setting in gnome using gconf-editor so the partitions are not show on the desktop? | 01:31 |
| drx0drx0 | What would you suggest for backing up your Linux OS (full metal restore or basic install + full restore) besides tar? | 01:31 |
| radlipat | how i format second hardrive? it still has windows stuff on it but idc. i only have 3 gig to work with right now!!! | 01:31 |
| jayde_drag0n | templaedhel: and i know i don't have to do that to watch things in firefox, i've fixed this problem before.. i just don't remember how | 01:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | n8tuser Mounts in /medis should show up automatically | 01:32 |
| tkach | Hi. The sound on my machine does not work. Nothing is muted. Can anyone help me? | 01:32 |
| Jason_WT | has anyone found some info about my problem? | 01:32 |
| Firefishe | tkach: laptop? | 01:32 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: The only way to "hide" your IP, regardless of OS, is to use some sort of proxy (e.g. a web proxy or Tor) | 01:32 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: and even in that case the proxy will know your IP | 01:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | n8tuser that is /media rather | 01:32 |
| tkach | Firefishe...no, an old Dell Desktop | 01:33 |
| n8tuser | Jack_Sparrow-> i dont want it to show up on desktop, i forgot the settings in gnome | 01:33 |
| Firefishe | tkach: What type of sound card? | 01:33 |
| aaaaa | so Wyzarrd there is no way then? | 01:33 |
| n8tuser | Jack_Sparrow-> something about volume-manager have to unlick or something | 01:33 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: Completely hiding your IP is fundamentally impossible | 01:33 |
| tkach | Firefishe...I feel that it's a sound blaster. | 01:33 |
| aaaaa | well wyzarrd i'm useing torrents and i don't want to get in trouble :) | 01:33 |
| aaaaa | i was wondering if there is way to hide ip | 01:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | To Remove Drive Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ | 01:34 |
| fzellinger | templaedhel: unless you have a second drive and plan on completely re-building the partition layouts, I don't know what you mean when you say you are going to "move" the partition. The partition table can't just be re-ordered and point to new locations on the disk | 01:34 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: This isn't the place to ask about how to safely commit copyright infringement | 01:34 |
| aaaaa | i know | 01:34 |
| aaaaa | i'm just saying is there way to hide ip | 01:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !tor | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 01:34 |
| samile | jayde_drag0n: if your using Pulse audio in the terminal try: pavucontrol and check that flash is not muted | 01:34 |
| templaedhel | fzellinger: with gparted I can re order them | 01:34 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: but fundamentally, for another computer on the Internet to send you data, it must know your IP | 01:34 |
| Firefishe | tkach: heh...you feel, huh? Well, um, have you, perhaps tried this: sudo lspci, or sudo hwinfo, or sudo lshw -html > filename ? | 01:34 |
| banisterfiend | hey Sweet Babies, i am trying to delete something in my Trash folder but it says permissions denied....how do i access the trash directory in terminal so i can sudo and rm -f it ? where is the location of the trash directory? | 01:35 |
| aaaaa | so there is software it's gold hide ip how that works? | 01:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !trash | 01:35 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 01:35 |
| \Kira | I used "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" to install a ssh server, and didnt have the time to look at the output and the session became terminated. I looked complete from the glance I took, but there is no ssh port open when I run nmap against the machine | 01:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aaaaa Please take it elsewhere.. | 01:35 |
| drx0drx0 | Anyone know the free equivalent to NTBackup? | 01:36 |
| banisterfiend | ubottu: thanks homes | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks homes | 01:36 |
| aaaaa | what does ip fowrding do? | 01:36 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: When I search Google for "gold hide IP" I find "Hide IP Planinum" from "Gold Software"... that just uses a proxy, according to the description | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aaaaa Not what you think | 01:36 |
| tkach | Firefishe: "Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value]" | 01:36 |
| aaaaa | well i'm paying bills online and lot of people saying ohh get it stop hackers etd | 01:37 |
| onetinsoldier | drx0drx0: search on Google for Ghost Unix... aka g4u | 01:37 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Hmmm. It's just a sound blaster, and a pretty basic one. What version of ubuntu are you using? | 01:37 |
| fzellinger | templaedhel: I assume your problem is that windows is not booting, and that grub may point to that partition as a bootable partition, but it won't actually boot (probably you get a bootloader error message). I am surprised that you have this setup, because even if gparted moves your partitions, I wouldn't expect it to maintain a valid windows master boot record (MBR) | 01:37 |
| aaaaa | but i guess i don't understand ip | 01:37 |
| lucent | Ah, I'm looking to use my builtin wifi adapter for internet access, and then add a usb wifi adapter which will be ignored by NetworkManager and manually configured, how do I tell NM to ignore an wifi interface? | 01:37 |
| Wyzard | aaaaa: It'd benefit you a lot to learn the basics of TCP/IP | 01:37 |
| banisterfiend | what is the way to delete an object from the Trash directory manually? there seems to be both 'info' files as well as the actual trash itself...i should just purge all of it? | 01:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aaaaa what you are asking about has nothing to do with Ubuntu support | 01:37 |
| tkach | Firefishe 8.04 | 01:38 |
| radlipat | !format | 01:38 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 01:38 |
| onetinsoldier | drx0drx0: however, i've never used it and i don't know if it does incremental backups | 01:38 |
| rashire | aaaaa: mobloquer | 01:38 |
| pc_ | hi | 01:38 |
| pc_ | hey | 01:38 |
| pc_ | dudes | 01:38 |
| godgo | Help! --- Where i can find *.deb packages after install them from repositories? | 01:38 |
| aaaaa | Wyzard what's best book | 01:38 |
| pc_ | help me i have a problem | 01:38 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Have you looked to see how alsa is configured? | 01:38 |
| pc_ | whit my ubs and nokia | 01:38 |
| aaaaa | what that rashire | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | godgo /var/cache/apt/archives | 01:38 |
| Wyzard | no idea; I don't have any TCP/IP books | 01:38 |
| lucent | drx0drx0: g4u is a nice utility for imaging systems, if your target is NTFS be sure to have a WindowsXP disc on hand to get the filesystem checked out and marked clean | 01:39 |
| templaedhel | fzellinger: well windows boots up to the thing it shows before the welcome screen then hangs there | 01:39 |
| rashire | peer-Guardian for linux, good for p2p apps. doesnt hide your ip, just blocks connections to "known" ip's | 01:39 |
| godgo | Jack_Sparrow, big thx! | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 01:39 |
| drx0drx0 | does g4u do verify? | 01:40 |
| tkach | Firefishe, could you tell me what to look for | 01:40 |
| rashire | just google "moblock" or "mobloquer" and the page will explain. | 01:40 |
| lucent | drx0drx0: I've used g4u... there's also "bacula" which I haven't used but its description looks interesting | 01:40 |
| aaaaa | does ubuntu have that package? | 01:40 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Have you checked under System->Preferences->Sound? | 01:40 |
| lucent | drx0drx0: go check out g4u, it's easy to download and burn to a cdr | 01:40 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: hello! how you doing buddy? ever get Solaris going? | 01:40 |
| keres | i have a new monitor set up at 1440x900 resolution, and my menus don't work | 01:40 |
| keres | any ideas? | 01:40 |
| rashire | i have it installed on mine, yes | 01:40 |
| lucent | keres: menus don't open? | 01:40 |
| \Kira | I used "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" to install a ssh server, and didnt have the time to look at the output and the session became terminated. I looked complete from the glance I took, but there is no ssh port open when I run nmap against the machine | 01:40 |
| keres | wait, they open, but it takes ~3 seconds for it to load | 01:41 |
| drx0drx0 | lucent: oh, so you boot from CD, you can't run it from a booted syste? | 01:41 |
| keres | lucent: | 01:41 |
| lucent | \Kira: you may have to log into the system and run "apt-get -f install" | 01:41 |
| lucent | \Kira: or re-install | 01:41 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: Hey bud! :) Well, I've gotten 2008.11 in the mail, and it boots nicely. Doesn't recognize my wifi apparatus, though. It's a staunch learning curve, and will take some time. | 01:41 |
| \Kira | lucent: just apt-get -f install? | 01:41 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: Let's take this to ubuntu-offtopic | 01:41 |
| lucent | \Kira: when packages get into a half-installed state, yeah | 01:41 |
| keres | my new LCD widescreen monitor @ 1440x900 has a crazy latency | 01:41 |
| \Kira | lucent: or "apt-get -f install openssh-server"? | 01:42 |
| Firefishe | tkach: I'm at that menu. Check your system settings there. | 01:42 |
| loca|host | can i tell NetworkManager to stop ignore my wlan0 interface so i can play with it just like oldy days using the /etc/network/interfaces ? | 01:42 |
| tkach | Firefishe: everything says Autodetect except sound capture which says PulseAudio | 01:42 |
| \Kira | lucent: ill try it, thanks | 01:42 |
| lucent | keres: and you've installed i.e. not running from livecd? | 01:42 |
| keres | lucent: yes. | 01:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: roger that.. i wasn't necessarily wanting detail about it, but i will go there in case you are wanting to talk about it | 01:42 |
| fzellinger | templaedhel: Oh, I get it. Grub is successfully launching the windows MBR from /dev/sda3, the windows loader starts, but partway into getting the WIndows OS up and running it must try to look to the "first partition" (because it is probably hard-coded) and it gacks. I think that you should have gparted try to move the windows parition first, then just try to boot windows. I realize that GRUB may not have a pointer currently t | 01:42 |
| lucent | keres: could be um, a few different things. GLX or Metacity? | 01:43 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: I'm also helping someone with a sound issue. I should be here for a bit, but will be available for some time to come ;) Wifey's out and about with 'er mom, so I'm free. | 01:43 |
| lucent | err xgl | 01:43 |
| keres | lucent: xgl? metacity? | 01:43 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: roger | 01:43 |
| lucent | keres: you could install "fusion-icon" | 01:43 |
| lucent | run that from the menu, then switch to Metacity | 01:43 |
| lucent | see if that helps | 01:43 |
| keres | lucent: i just switched to my 19'' wide. my 19'' normal works just fine. | 01:43 |
| drx0drx0 | lucent: i don't want to use the entire target drive to hold the image. My OS is like 30G but the drive is 500G. | 01:43 |
| Firefishe | tkach: I"m thinking here. So you've checked all the volume controls? | 01:44 |
| raylu | templaedhel, fzellinger: there is a way to virtually map the partitions | 01:44 |
| keres | lucent: it's just on the menus too | 01:44 |
| lucent | drx0drx0: just go check out g4u and read the user manual for it, it should do what you want if you take the time to learn about it :) | 01:44 |
| Out_Cold | hey guys... i used LVM drives to set up a server... and now i'm trying to figure out what exactly is where... what's the name of the partition editor used with the server edition?? | 01:44 |
| tkach | yes, firefishe (also thanks for your attention to my problem, I appreciate it) | 01:44 |
| templaedhel | raylu: that seems harder then moving them | 01:44 |
| jayde_drag0n | hey i have no sound in firefox at all, and i've run the fix 3 times now | 01:44 |
| drx0drx0 | onetinsoldier: I'm looking for something that does backup & restore to a remote Windows system without an (FTP or NFS) server... | 01:44 |
| chilli0 | Hey all | 01:44 |
| raylu | templaedhel: how so? it's a simple configuration option in menu.lst | 01:44 |
| Firefishe | tkach: I'm no expert, but I'll do what I'm able. | 01:44 |
| lucent | keres: that's pretty strange, but it could be an xgl compiz-fusion bug... so try running Metacity instead of xgl, see if it speeds up | 01:45 |
| chilli0 | Is it possable to make a slide show as my background? | 01:45 |
| Firefishe | tkach: you're welcome :) | 01:45 |
| templaedhel | raylu: okay can I have a tut? | 01:45 |
| keres | lucent: metacity works perfect ^_^ thanks | 01:45 |
| raylu | templaedhel: looking, one second | 01:45 |
| lucent | chilli0: if it is possible, it would likely be implemented as a plugin for compiz-fusion | 01:45 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Are you using pulse audio as the primary interface to alsa? | 01:45 |
| meoblast001 | is there a package for the CIA IRC commit notifier? im not sure if i saw it in aptitude or not... the description and package name isnt 100% understandable | 01:45 |
| raylu | templaedhel: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/map.html | 01:45 |
| lucent | keres: so, I don't know what to say except that there's probably a bug or some plugin that's not behaving right in compiz-fusion | 01:45 |
| keres | ok | 01:45 |
| Firefishe | tkach: no, you said it's on autodetect...nm that last one | 01:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Out_Cold I thought it was.. parted | 01:46 |
| chilli0 | lucent: ok thanks ill lookingto it | 01:46 |

| Out_Cold | Jack_Sparrow, it was another... I use gparted and i know that wasn't it.... and i dunno if gparted actually allows setting up LVMs | 01:47 |
| loca|host | can i tell NetworkManager to stop ignore my wlan0 interface so i can play with it just like oldy days using the /etc/network/interfaces ? | 01:47 |
| lucent | sisto: I'm pretty sure that the system just activates your gnome-screensaver, try those preferences | 01:47 |
| drx0drx0 | lucent: i appreciate the suggestion, but I don't have a DHCP server and I don't have an FTP server so it's a lot of up front work versus an NTBackup-style utility that just backs up the path of your choosing. | 01:47 |
| loca|host | anyone .? | 01:47 |
| raylu | templaedhel: ah. click the link for hide | 01:47 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Right click on the volume applet in the upper right (or lower right, etc.) on the system tray, and open volume control. | 01:47 |
| Jason_WT | where can i find that md4sum for ubuntu | 01:47 |
| lucent | loca|host: I want to know the same thing | 01:47 |
| tkach | Firefishe: done | 01:47 |
| Firefishe | tkach: I want to see if the system is even seeing that card's volume properties | 01:47 |
| tsrk | When I use "echo 'Hello world" > /dev/tty0' it echos fine and makes a new line but the carriage doesn't return. Any ideas on why this is and how to make it return? (I've tried \r but it just echoed that as text) | 01:47 |
| mk123 | raylu: i did ifconfig ath0 up , and the i did 'iwlist ath0 scan' , but the scan returned no results -- am i doing things wrong ? | 01:47 |
| onetinsoldier | drx0drx0: i don't know | 01:47 |
| sisto | lucent: nope it's disabled | 01:47 |

| lucent | drx0drx0: I think you could appreciate the suggestion some more, and then read the manual for g4u which has everything you need ;P | 01:48 |
| sisto | lucent: i tried editing the /etc/default/acpi-support file | 01:48 |
| Jason_WT | tks | 01:48 |

| jayde_drag0n | can someone please help me?!? hey i have no sound in firefox at all, and i've run the fix 3 times now | 01:48 |
| raylu | mk123: iwlist shows something meaningful for ath0? | 01:48 |
| Ward1983 | whats the best way to get flash10 for ubuntu 8.10 64bit | 01:48 |
| sisto | but it didn't work | 01:48 |
| Ward1983 | ? | 01:48 |
| mk123 | raylu: ndiswrapper is shown in lsmod , and ath0 is up in ifconfig, but when i scan i get no results -- when in installed the madwifi drivers I had the same problem that scan just would no work | 01:48 |
| raw | I am currently running VMWare Workstation 6.5 on an Ubuntu Linux 8.10 (64bit) host system. I am running a windows XP guest. Every time I start VMWare, it'll run for about a minute or two and then the whole system will lock up hard. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this and may know how to fix it? | 01:48 |
| tkach | Firefishe: under 'File' it says "Change Device" | 01:48 |
| mk123 | raylu: whats the exact command you want me to run? | 01:48 |
| raylu | mk123: iwconfig | 01:48 |
| lucent | sisto: no-no mate, it's more likely to be a gconf setting or something that tells gnome-screensaver to run in lock mode on suspend | 01:48 |
| Ward1983 | mk123, stupid question but just to make sure: you are sure your AP is up right? | 01:49 |
| mk123 | raylu: dpaste.com/100621 | 01:49 |
| sisto | ok i'm going to check gconf | 01:49 |
| mk123 | raylu: is that considered 'meaningful' | 01:49 |
| templaedhel | raylu: but I want swap not hide | 01:49 |
| Firefishe | tkach: File? I'm in 8.10, so the menu dynamics might be a tad different, although I wouldn't know why. | 01:49 |
| samile | Ward1983: from the adobe website | 01:49 |
| lucent | loca|host: is network manager in your way? | 01:49 |
| Ward1983 | samile, that gave me a 32bit deb | 01:49 |
| \Kira | I have install openssh-server on my system, I can connect from the localhost, but not from any other computer on the network. Im assuming I have iptables or another similar firewall blocking the connection. How can I fix this? | 01:49 |
| raylu | templaedhel: hm. i wonder if map works with partitions too :P | 01:49 |
| drx0drx0 | lucent: the manuals says u can use ftp, local disk partition (dont' have one) or local drive copy. I don't have any of these. Moreover, local drive copy completely destroys the target disk. | 01:50 |
| raylu | mk123: then my only guess is that the card itself is not on | 01:50 |
| sisto | gconf has a lot more settings | 01:50 |
| lucent | drx0drx0: g4u provides those? | 01:50 |
| loca|host | lucent, it is, for one interface only ;) not others | 01:50 |
| chilli0 | does anyone know were i can get, xwinwrap from? | 01:50 |
| Firefishe | tkach: You have Volume Control openb? | 01:50 |
| Firefishe | open | 01:50 |
| slyf | hey guys, having an issue with suspend/hybernate " interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement" doesn't exist | 01:50 |
| tkach | Firefishe...yes I opened alsamixer. "Devices" is not visible anywhere on the window. unless I click 'file' | 01:50 |
| AndreasMadrid | I have a problem with micro in ubuntu. I can't use the micro. the volume control is always down to zero for capture, a can raise it but it falls back down and i can't use voice in messenger thus. what can i do? | 01:50 |
| lucent | loca|host: well, if you just want static IP assignment, you can edit the settings for network manager connections... it works really really nice in Intrepid | 01:51 |
| slyf | I checked history and gnome-power-manager updated a couple days ago | 01:51 |
| Ward1983 | mk123, stupid question but just to make sure: you are sure your AP is up right? and also is sending out its SSID? | 01:51 |
| Firefishe | tkach: close alsamixer | 01:51 |
| lucent | loca|host: associate by mac addr, etc. | 01:51 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Do you have the Volume Control icon available in the system tray? (I'm assuming GNOME). | 01:51 |
| Terralthra | I am trying to install gnome via apt-get on 8.04, and it fails because gnome depends on gnome-keyring-manager, which is apparently unavailable now | 01:51 |
| raylu | templaedhel: actually, it won't | 01:51 |
| slyf | anybody? | 01:51 |
| Terralthra | ideas? | 01:51 |
| lucent | loca|host: the only thing I don't know how to do is tell network manager to ignore a single wifi interface | 01:51 |
| tkach | Firefishe: When I click open volume control that's what it opens | 01:51 |
| AndreasMadrid | I have a problem with micro in ubuntu. I can't use the micro. the volume control is always down to zero for capture, a can raise it but it falls back down and i can't use voice in messenger thus. what can i do? | 01:51 |
| aDeck | czesc/hi | 01:52 |
| templaedhel | raylu: damit | 01:52 |
| lucent | Terralthra: replaced by "gnome-keyring" | 01:52 |
| sisto | lucent: thx that worked through gconf! | 01:52 |
| Terralthra | ok | 01:52 |
| Terralthra | how do I tell apt-get that? | 01:52 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Hmmm...let me check something. | 01:52 |
| mk123 | raylu: how can i check if the card is on? | 01:52 |
| slyf | hey guys, having an issue with suspend/hybernate " interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement" doesn't exist | 01:52 |
| lucent | sisto: really? which setting? I couldn't find it | 01:52 |
| sisto | lucent: thx | 01:52 |
| onetinsoldier | hey, i have metacity installed by am wondering why it doesn't seem to show as an option for a session in gdm. anyone know? | 01:52 |
| null_x86 | hey any good MCEs? Im stuck between Mythbunutu and LinuxMCE | 01:52 |
| sisto | lucent: check "/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings" option. | 01:52 |
| Ward1983 | hmmm he ignores me :p | 01:53 |
| loca|host | lucent, ok so here's my problem: i have a wifi dongle wich i want to get it working in ad-hoc mode, wich NetworkManager wont do, so i did it with the classic interfaces way, and then, when plugging my usb wifi dongle, it gets the ad-hoc mode for 1 moment and then, NetworkManager catch it and fallback to managed mode :( | 01:53 |
| raylu | templaedhel: but i don't think being the first partition is necessary; i think it only has to be the first drive, which may mean the problem is elsewhere | 01:53 |
| lucent | onetinsoldier: things changed. To run Metacity I suggest installing "fusion-icon" and loading it from there | 01:53 |
| Izinucs | onetinsoldier: sessions is for kde, gnome, etc | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | onetinsoldier, metacityis by default used by gnome. its not normally ran by itself. its rather minimal. | 01:53 |
| raylu | templaedhel: can you show me your menu.lst | 01:53 |
| samile | Ward1983: sorry didn't read 64. one mment | 01:53 |
| templaedhel | okay | 01:53 |
| lucent | loca|host: networkmanager does ad-hoc mode | 01:53 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Do you have a list of tabs with things like Playback, Recording, Switches, and Options? | 01:53 |
| Ward1983 | samile, i didn't mean you :D | 01:53 |
| loca|host | lucent, it wonts with my dongle | 01:53 |
| loca|host | arrghh | 01:53 |
| raylu | mk123: this is laptop, right? is there a switch or key combination to enble i? | 01:53 |
| templaedhel | raylu: how do I get that? | 01:53 |
| raylu | mk123: *enable it? | 01:53 |

| lucent | loca|host: oh, your driver doesn't work with it? | 01:53 |
| onetinsoldier | lucent Izinucs and dr_willis: ok, thanks guys. i'll have a look | 01:53 |
| rambo298 | in what directory would i find configuration.php? | 01:54 |
| Terralthra | lucent: How do I get apt-get to recognize the package change? | 01:54 |
| Ward1983 | raylu, can you tell mk123 to check if his AP is up and also sending its SSID (as he seems to ignore my highlights lol) | 01:54 |
| raylu | raw: i'd poke around in /var/log/ | 01:54 |
| tkach | Firefishe: Just "playback" and "switches" | 01:54 |
| drx0drx0 | lucent: that' s what the docs say, which is cool, but not exactly what I need. | 01:54 |
| AndreasMadrid | I have a problem with micro in ubuntu. I can't use the micro. the volume control is always down to zero for capture, a can raise it but it falls back down and i can't use voice in messenger thus. what can i do? | 01:54 |
| mk123 | raylu OMG | 01:54 |
| AndreasMadrid | anyone? | 01:54 |
| raylu | mk123: Ward1983 says to check if your AP is up and also sending its SSID | 01:54 |
| mk123 | raylu THE DAMN SWITCH WAS SET TO OFF, WASTED 2 DAYS FIGHITNG MADWIFI | 01:54 |
| Ward1983 | thanx raylu :) | 01:55 |
| raylu | mk123: :P | 01:55 |
| Ward1983 | LOL | 01:55 |
| mk123 | laaame | 01:55 |
| LjL | !caps | mk123 | 01:55 |

| ubottu | mk123: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 01:55 |
| raylu | mk123: better than spending 2 days compiling openoffice | 01:55 |
| Ward1983 | sorry but stupid is a understatement for that :p | 01:55 |
| mk123 | ubottu: but its not as funny without caps | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:55 |
| loca|host | lucent, unfortunatly yes | 01:55 |
| comradekingu | Killswitch enabled, fight! | 01:56 |
| lucent | loca|host: if you define an interface in /etc/network/interfaces then it should be ignored by network manager on next boot | 01:56 |
| raylu | templaedhel: oh...you have multiple windows installations... i believe hiding is necessary to boot that, no matter how you reorder it | 01:56 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Click on the Preferences button and a dialog box should appear. It should have little check boxes for various other elements associated with your card, essentially to clutter up your volume control display with even more switches, volume sliders, and recording selectiong ;) hee. I want you to check them all if they are there, and then we'll look to see if any of them might be muted. | 01:56 |
| Firefishe | selectiong=selections | 01:56 |
| templaedhel | raylu: no I don't the other one is like norten ghost and its always been there | 01:57 |
| lucent | Terralthra: I have to think there's an easier way to do what you're ultimately wanting to do | 01:57 |
| lucent | Terralthra: *why* are you installing gnome from apt? | 01:57 |
| samile | Ward1983: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/05/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-ubuntu-using-nspluginwrapper.html | 01:57 |
| redryno | norton sux balls | 01:57 |
| === Adam is now known as Stargazer | ||
| raylu | templaedhel: hm. you should consider hiding it and not mapping/reordering anything; see if that helps | 01:57 |
| raylu | redryno: not norton antivirus, ghost | 01:57 |
| Ward1983 | samile, that will work for epiphany also right? just to make sure | 01:57 |
| Ward1983 | samile, because i dont like firefox much | 01:58 |
| Ward1983 | damn i guess not lol | 01:58 |
| Firefishe | Can one view flash video and do java in ephiphany? | 01:58 |
| samile | Ward1983: I belive so, one moment. | 01:58 |
| Firefishe | epiphany, even | 01:58 |
| Stargazer | Where can i get more master page templates for open office Presentation ? | 01:58 |
| tkach | ok, Firefishe I unmuted whatever was muted I'm going to try it. | 01:58 |
| Ward1983 | samile, ok thanx in advance | 01:58 |
| Jason_WT | does the server edition have a gui? | 01:58 |
| Izinucs | Stargazer: google.com openoffice.org | 01:58 |
| Firefishe | tkach...k, tell me how it goes | 01:58 |
| raylu | Jason_WT: of course not | 01:59 |
| Terralthra | lucent: because I installed ubuntu from the minimal install CD | 01:59 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Also make sure the volume is up a bit. Pay close attention to anything with PCM in it. | 01:59 |
| RickZilla | Somebody answered this for me earlier, but I lost it before I got it written down...how do I run a .bin package? | 01:59 |
| templaedhel | raylu: are you sure? | 01:59 |
| Mimi | does anyone know how i can tell wicd to connect to a hidden network everytime? because hidden network doesnt show on list ofcourse :) i can go to "connect to hidden network" and type it there, but would like it automatically | 01:59 |
| raylu | templaedhel: Another problem arises if you installed more than one set of DOS/Windows onto one disk, because they could be confused if there are more than one primary partitions for DOS/Windows. Certainly you should avoid doing this, but there is a solution if you do want to do so. Use the partition hiding/unhiding technique. | 01:59 |
| lucent | Terralthra: oh. well unless you're interested in wasting a lot of time, I suggest installing from the desktop cd ;) | 01:59 |
| lobo | I install xampp and phpeclipse but when press the boton xampp, mysql or apache the phpeclipse appear that message | 01:59 |
| lobo | could not execute external app/opt/lampp/lampp start | 01:59 |
| raylu | templaedhel: from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows | 01:59 |
| loca|host | lucent, lemme try | 01:59 |
| lobo | and what is app??? | 01:59 |
| Terralthra | if I could, I would | 02:00 |
| raylu | RickZilla: sh | 02:00 |
| Terralthra | the laptop has a poor CD drive | 02:00 |
| RickZilla | raylu: Thanks, sorry for asking again | 02:00 |
| ziroday | RickZilla: try ./programname.bin | 02:00 |
| Jason_WT | what does it look like then, does eerything need to be done via console? | 02:00 |
| Terralthra | which overheats after about 5 minutes | 02:00 |
| raylu | RickZilla: you can usually also chmod +x foo.bin, then ./foo.bin | 02:00 |
| Terralthra | I tried installing from the regular CD several times, each time the install failed partially through | 02:00 |
| lucent | Terralthra: ah, I've been there mate... can it boot off USB? | 02:00 |
| tkach | Firefishe: :( no dice. | 02:00 |
| Terralthra | no, it can not | 02:00 |
| raylu | lobo: what...? | 02:00 |
| Terralthra | why does apt-get for gnome not work? | 02:00 |
| lucent | Terralthra: shame about that | 02:00 |
| templaedhel | raylu: that was there when it was just windows, | 02:00 |
| tkach | I'll just google it, I won't hold you up. Thanks, Firefishe | 02:00 |
| Ward1983 | Terralthra, time to buy a USB stick to put the liveCD on (+ it goes tons faster) | 02:00 |

| raylu | templaedhel: pastebin the error please | 02:01 |

| woody86_ | can anyone help me get my wireless working? It works so far, but I can't find any networks on it | 02:01 |
| Firefishe | tkach: sorry, finger slipped | 02:01 |
| lucent | Terralthra: it does work, but it's not just like you can conjure up a few packages and have a full Desktop experience | 02:01 |
| raylu | templaedhel: i dunno. still worth a shot, i think | 02:01 |
| FAJALOU | woody86_: details please? | 02:01 |
| Terralthra | lucent: I am aware | 02:01 |
| Jason_WT | Terralthra: do you get an error about a corrupt cd or HD? | 02:01 |

| raylu | RickZilla: er, the exact error please | 02:01 |
| Firefishe | tkach: Does your card even show up in the Device dialog in Volume Control? | 02:01 |
| Terralthra | Jordan_U: sudo apt-get install gnome fails | 02:01 |
| Firefishe | tkach: i.e., it's not blank, is it/ | 02:02 |
| Firefishe | ? | 02:02 |
| andrewfree | Is there a way to enable, and setup vnc in ubuntu via command line. | 02:02 |
| woody86_ | FAJALOU, what do you need to know? I'm not that great with the command line | 02:02 |
| Terralthra | gnome fails because it depends on gnome-desktop-environment, which depends on gnome-keyring-manager | 02:02 |
| Terralthra | gnome-keyring-manager has no installation candidate | 02:02 |
| raylu | templaedhel: also, ignore what i said about pastbin... | 02:02 |
| RickZilla | raylu: Here's the copy and paste: sh: Can't open GoogleEarthLinux.bin | 02:02 |
| raylu | Terralthra: pastebin the error please | 02:02 |
| Terralthra | .... | 02:02 |
| FAJALOU | woody86_: are you using ndiswrapper? bcm43xx-fwcutter? madwifi? etc etc etc. | 02:02 |
| templaedhel | raylu: there is no error, it just hangs before the welcome screen | 02:02 |
| raylu | RickZilla: sounds like a typo | 02:02 |
| Ward1983 | Terralthra, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=197880 | 02:02 |
| raylu | templaedhel: _ignore_ :P i auto-completed the wrong name | 02:02 |
| Terralthra | raylu: you want me to pastebin from a computer with no desktop environment | 02:03 |
| ziroday | !vnc | andrewfree this might be able to help | 02:03 |
| ubottu | andrewfree this might be able to help: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:03 |
| raylu | Terralthra: install pastebininit | 02:03 |

| RickZilla | It's going now, thanks gang | 02:03 |
| templaedhel | raylu: sorry | 02:03 |

| templaedhel | so can i just comment it out in the grup list? | 02:06 |
| mk123 | Mimi: make a script? | 02:06 |
| raylu | ziroday: you never asked him how he mounted it | 02:06 |
| FAJALOU | woody86_: ok so what you probably need to do is hook that in to a wired connection, disable through 'hardware drivers' and then reenable through 'hardware drivers' | 02:06 |
| templaedhel | or do I have to "hide" it | 02:06 |
| lucent | loca|host: solved? | 02:06 |
| loca|host | lucent, i think restarting NetworkManager should work | 02:06 |
| loca|host | lucent, yes thx | 02:06 |
| FAJALOU | because ironically enough, bcm43xx-fwcutter needs the internet to configure... | 02:06 |
| woody86_ | FAJALOU, ok, let me try... brb... | 02:06 |
| FAJALOU | !broadcom | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 02:06 |
| ziroday | raylu: was getting there, and just checking the drive exists, but yes dnyy what command did you execute to mount the drive | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | FAJALOU, It's b43-fwcutter now | 02:07 |
| FAJALOU | !bcm | woody86_ | 02:07 |
| ubottu | woody86_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:07 |
| FAJALOU | Jordan_U: ah ok. | 02:07 |
| raylu | ziroday: ok | 02:07 |
| Out_Cold | well lucent the 'lvdisplay' shhows "No volume groups found" | 02:07 |
| samile | Ward1983: that looks fine. its the same in so far as the plugin .so is placed in the ~/.mozilla/plugins folder | 02:07 |
| FAJALOU | !broadcom > woody86_ | 02:07 |
| ubottu | woody86_, please see my private message | 02:07 |
| woody86_ | thanks guys | 02:07 |
| lucent | loca|host: cool stuff, remember if you want NetworkManager again you have to comment out the interface in /etc/network/interfaces - cheers | 02:07 |
| ziroday | dnyy: also I presume the drive you want mounted is /dev/sdb2? | 02:07 |
| FAJALOU | Jordan_U: do you still need to use the internet to get the correct configuration files? | 02:07 |
| Ward1983 | samile, damn so no flash in epiphany, ok then im forced to use firefox i guess | 02:07 |
| dnyy | ziroday: I honestly have no clue what name it's given, in partition editor it shows as only "sdb" | 02:07 |
| Ward1983 | samile, but can i uninstall this "thing" | 02:08 |
| lucent | Out_Cold: I guess that's your answer. Did you want to scan for LVM volumes? | 02:08 |
| dnyy | ziroday: the guide i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6326105&postcount=7 | 02:08 |
| ziroday | dnyy: yeah thats fine, okay what command did you do to try an mount it? | 02:08 |
| grendal_prime | im sorry but intrepid sucks | 02:08 |
| ziroday | dnyy: also does your drive appear in /media anywhere? | 02:08 |
| lucent | dnyy: you may have to re-create your kernel's initramfs | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | FAJALOU, Yes ( it's firmware it gets BTW ), there is also a proprietary driver that comes with intrepid that works for some broadcom cards without any extra downloads | 02:08 |
| R0b0t1 | Would someone please tell me the packages to install to get compiz and all the neat affects up and running? | 02:08 |
| R0b0t1 | I bet it's in ubottu. | 02:08 |
| lucent | dnyy: do uh "sudo update-initramfs" | 02:08 |
| grendal_prime | im backing up my data and going back the the factory install of 710 that came with this laptop | 02:08 |
| samile | Ward1983: does it not work in epiphany? | 02:08 |
| ultratek | how do i install the boon login screen? | 02:08 |
| rambo298 | in what directory would i find configuration.php? | 02:08 |
| dnyy | ziroday: now, it doesn't show in /media | 02:09 |
| Out_Cold | well lucent i want to make sure that there are no important LVMs on a particular drive.. trouble is I cannot see which LVMs are where in gparted.. | 02:09 |
| powertool08 | !compiz > R0b0t1 | 02:09 |
| ubottu | R0b0t1, please see my private message | 02:09 |
| Ward1983 | samile, i assumed not? | 02:09 |
| Out_Cold | I am trying to format the drive for a new OS | 02:09 |
| Ward1983 | samile, should it work? then ill jsut try it | 02:09 |
| ziroday | dnyy: okay, is there a folder called sdb in /media? | 02:09 |
| Nyu` | ai | 02:09 |
| R0b0t1 | powertool08: Thanks :) | 02:09 |
| samile | Ward1983: it certainly should | 02:09 |
| raylu | gretchen: 8.04 | 02:09 |
| raylu | er... | 02:09 |
| lucent | Out_Cold: to privmsg! :) | 02:09 |
| ziroday | dnyy: also I need you to pastebin your /etc/fstab please | 02:09 |
| Ward1983 | samile, aaaaah ok then i misunderstood :) | 02:09 |
| FAJALOU | woody86_: ok look at Jordan_U's comment. your card needs to get firmware off of the internet for the wireless to work, so you will need to plug it in via ethernet, and then disable in hardware drivers, (possibly reboot) and then reenable in hardware drivers! | 02:09 |
| samile | Ward1983: fingers crossed, try it out | 02:09 |
| Ward1983 | samile, yeah the alpha is my best shot i guess | 02:09 |
| dnyy | ziroday: Yes, i made it following that guide, but there's nothing in it. Alright, hold on while I paste fstab | 02:09 |

| Aayush | i delete my task bar..... how to add it...... | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | Aayush, Do you want to try to recreate your pannel or just go back to the default configuration? | 02:12 |
| ziroday | dnyy: um, are you any of the people in that forum thread? | 02:12 |
| dnyy | ziroday: nope :X | 02:12 |
| Aayush | Jordan_U, recreate | 02:13 |
| ziroday | dnyy: okay, did you just copy the UUID? | 02:13 |
| dnyy | ziroday: I'm guessing it's not working because the UUID isn't correct. If that's the case, how can I find the correct one? | 02:13 |
| Firefishe | FAJALOU: If you need help with that broadcom chipset of yours, I may be of some use. | 02:13 |
| Jordan_U | Aayush, Do you have one of your pannels left? | 02:13 |
| Aayush | a | 02:13 |
| dnyy | ziroday: yuh, I just copy/pasted hah. | 02:13 |
| Aayush | Jordan_U, ya | 02:13 |
| raylu | dnyy: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 02:14 |
| dule | does anyone know the answer to this: How do I connect to a WEP encrypted wireless network? When I choose it in NetworkManager, it asks for the key, I put it, it tries to connect, but always comes back and asks for the key again... it never connects! Is there something I am missing?? | 02:14 |
| ziroday | dnyy: right, one sec | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | Aayush, Right click it and choose "New Pannel" | 02:14 |
| templaedhel | raylu: is there a command so I can see the different partitions with the (hd0,0) lables right there? | 02:14 |
| ziroday | dnyy: can you pastebin blkid please :) | 02:14 |
| raylu | templaedhel: with the (hd0,0) lables? what? | 02:14 |
| phuzion | How do I go about removing the password for an account so that it must use authorized keys to login via SSH? | 02:14 |
| dnyy | ziroday: want me to pastebin the output of ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid? | 02:14 |
| Ward1983 | samile, only firefox is working | 02:15 |
| Aayush | Jordan_U, i add that way but whenn i minimize windows , it dosent show up there | 02:15 |
| Jason_WT | is ubuntu use md4 or md5 sum? | 02:15 |
| ziroday | dnyy: um raylu asked you to do that, both ways should work. You can pick who you want to go with :) | 02:15 |
| phuzion | Jason_WT, depends, what for? | 02:15 |
| dnyy | ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m6d571da1 | 02:15 |
| powertool08 | phuzion: just disable password logins in your sshd_config | 02:15 |
| dnyy | I just pasted both, heh. | 02:15 |
| phuzion | powertool08, only for one user' | 02:15 |
| Jordan_U | Aayush, You need to right click the pannel -> Add to pannel -> Window List | 02:15 |
| raylu | dnyy: no, mine was an answer to your question | 02:16 |
| basti | anyone here who uses coreavc for 720p movies? i tried it with windows -> video plays smoothly. with ubuntu -> not really :( do you have any hints? | 02:16 |
| dnyy | raylu: ah, well it doesn't show sdb when I do that, only sda1 and sda5 | 02:16 |
| ziroday | dnyy: link? | 02:16 |
| dnyy | raylu & ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m6d571da1 | 02:16 |
| Jason_WT | i am trying to make sure i have gotten the full iso | 02:16 |
| templaedhel | raylu: so I ca see what partitions are called what, aka so I know what to put in the menu.list | 02:17 |
| Firefishe | brb..need to reboot | 02:17 |
| raylu | templaedhel: devices.map | 02:17 |
| ziroday | dnyy: um, the drive was connected when you did that right? | 02:17 |
| andrewfree | ziroday: That got me very lost, now i screwed something up | 02:17 |
| dnyy | ziroday: yes, it's an internal HD. | 02:17 |
| pradeep_ | Which is a nice linux supported 5.1 sound card .. which fits in a express 54 slot | 02:18 |
| raylu | andrewfree: more specific, please | 02:18 |
| ziroday | dnyy: um okay, thats odd as it does not appear. one sec | 02:18 |
| templaedhel | command not found raylu: | 02:18 |
| dnyy | ziroday: kk. and yeah, usually any external drive i plug in mounts itself. :/ | 02:18 |
| raylu | templaedhel: er, it's a file in /boot/grub | 02:18 |
| Jason_WT | was 8.11 released or is 8.10 the newest, i remember seeing that a new one was released | 02:19 |
| ziroday | dnyy: yeah, okay since its internal replace the UUID=bla bla bla bit in your /etc/fstab with /dev/sdb1 | 02:19 |
| raylu | Jason_WT: the next one would be 9.04 | 02:19 |
| KoFish | hi, im in desperate need of help!! my libxcb-render0.so.0 is gone | 02:19 |
| raylu | Jason_WT: (they aren't version numbers. yeah. i know.) | 02:19 |
| Gnea | Jason_WT: there was no 8.11, there is no 8.11, there will never be an 8.11 | 02:19 |
| spike42 | wait, ziroday, what are you responding too? | 02:19 |
| ziroday | dnyy: and that should work, after you restart | 02:19 |
| spike42 | because that sounds like the answer to my problem too | 02:19 |
| samile | Ward1983: I'll just install epiphany and take a look (Opera user) | 02:19 |
| dnyy | ziroday: so it should be '/media/sdb1 /media/sdb ext3 defaults 0 2' | 02:19 |
| ziroday | spike42: I am responding to dnyy, I have no idea what your problem is. Sorry. | 02:20 |
| Djet1313 | Help needed: Whenever I attempt to look at Network under Places, I get "Could not display "network:"Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." | 02:20 |
| Ward1983 | samile, ok thanx | 02:20 |
| csc_ | i really need the help of a guru about networking. here is the situation: i have an host A, which runs host B virtually with vbox. B connects to a VPN. Now what happens is that, although B can get a nameserver from the VPN and can resolve names, I cannot open a simple web page of an http server inside the VPN (so no proxy required), while I can do it from A if i connect to the same VPN. Comparing the routing table of A and B, they are the same. do you have any | 02:20 |
| csc_ | ideas? | 02:20 |
| ziroday | dnyy: nope, /dev/sdb1 instead of /media/sdb1 | 02:20 |
| powertool08 | phuzion: I dunno, not sure if its possible? I'm curious as to why you wouldn't keep all at passwords or move all to pubkey? | 02:20 |
| spike42 | after the last grub update, the menu.lst entry for my xp partition is gone | 02:20 |
| DasEi | ? how do I tell xorg.conf to look for a serial mouse on com1 ? | 02:20 |
| ziroday | dnyy: and in /media the mountpoint is sdb correct? | 02:20 |
| raylu | csc_: i assume you've tried host/dig? | 02:20 |
| dnyy | ziroday: ooh, gotcha. so /dev/sdb1 first, then /media/sdb | 02:21 |
| dnyy | ziroday: yeah | 02:21 |
| Jason_WT | when was he newest one released | 02:21 |
| ziroday | dnyy: yep | 02:21 |
| KoFish | there is something wrong with the ubuntu repo it seems | 02:21 |
| templaedhel | raylu: thank you for all your help but that only gets me the harddrive, not the partitions | 02:21 |
| dnyy | ziroday: alright then, i'll brb after restart | 02:21 |
| csc_ | raylu, i cannot ping since i virtualbox does not support ping. BUT i can use nslookup , and yes, i get the right ips | 02:21 |
| KoFish | i hade to manually download the deb from packages.ubuntu to get the right files | 02:21 |
| csc_ | *right names | 02:21 |
| raylu | templaedhel: paritions are /dev/sd# - 1 | 02:21 |
| victorloverain | d | 02:21 |
| ziroday | spike42: well that won't fix your problem, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and put it in there. !grub has more info | 02:21 |
| raylu | templaedhel: er..yeah; you know what i mean =\ | 02:21 |
| spike42 | ok | 02:21 |
| phuzion | powertool08, I'm a sudoer on most of these boxes, and trying to become more security minded, so I want to use more secure methods of authentication | 02:21 |
| spike42 | thanks | 02:21 |
| templaedhel | raylu: what about extended partitions | 02:22 |
| raylu | csc_: is this a windows machine? | 02:22 |
| Djet1313 | Help needed: Whenever I attempt to look at Network under Places, I get "Could not display "network:"Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." | 02:22 |
| phuzion | The idea is that I'll have two of the three possible authentication methods. What you have (private key file on my flash drive) and what you know (decryption passphrase for the private key file). | 02:22 |
| csc_ | raylu, both ubuntu, A and B | 02:22 |
| csc_ | 8.10 | 02:22 |
| csc_ | the B host is the server edition | 02:23 |
| raylu | templaedhel: they shouldn't matter; the partitions should still have numbers (unless it's lvm or something strange :P) | 02:23 |
| csc_ | the firewall is down | 02:23 |
| templaedhel | okay thanks | 02:23 |
| devin_ | bah, no luck anyone have any idea how to fix usplash from changing to text mode when i boot? i added new hardware and not sure how to fix it | 02:23 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest89137 | ||
| raylu | csc_: how are you trying to open the pages and what's the error? | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | devin_, i normally disable the spash and framebuffer features in the grub menu.lst file. with the options 'nosplash nofb' | 02:24 |
| jamnz | question. i want to add a "network route" in terminal using route or ip route command. what is syntax of command to add a route to 10.72.184.3 ? | 02:24 |
| jamnz | thanks! | 02:25 |
| raylu | dr_willis: i think he wants the other way... | 02:25 |
| csc_ | raylu, i am using lynx on an address of the vpn. the error is not diaplied.. it is always "in a connection state" | 02:25 |
| samile | Ward1983: sorry i'm messing you around here should have checked synaptic versions first. in synaptic/apt-get/aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree its already v 10 | 02:25 |
| csc_ | raylu, all the programs accessing to servers (not only that http) block and wait forver.. | 02:26 |

| Ward1983 | samile, in 64bit? | 02:26 |
| devin_ | dr_willis now that you mention that i did notice an error about the framebuffer =/ but i couldn't find it in dmesg | 02:26 |
| Ward1983 | samile, well that didnt work for epiphany either here, does it work there? | 02:26 |
| Ward1983 | samile, i asked about flash10 because i heard it was a lot better on 64bit systems, i remember i had a ton of problems with flsh9 on my last installation | 02:27 |
| Ward1983 | samile, (just did a fresh install) | 02:27 |
| Ward1983 | old system was 7.10 | 02:27 |
| Jordan_U | Ward1983, There is an alpha Flash 10 which is native 64 bit | 02:28 |

| Ward1983 | Jordan_U, onyl workinf on firefox :( | 02:29 |
| djet | axisys: yeah, it's in beta. | 02:29 |
| Firefishe | djet: Have you considered a dedicated ftp client, like gftp or something? It might work better for you. | 02:29 |
| Ward1983 | Jordan_U, (i prefer epiphany) | 02:29 |
| djet | Firefishe: I have not. But the problem seems to extend to all the drives I need to connect to. Such as the other partitions on my drive. | 02:30 |
| raylu | csc_: strange. wget might help more | 02:30 |
| Firefishe | djet: Ah, I see. Might be a little beyond my ken then. Sowwy ;) | 02:30 |
| raylu | djet: you get a network error when trying to access a local partition?? | 02:31 |
| axisys | djet: where can I get the pkg? | 02:31 |
| djet | Firefishe: Okay. Well I found the following bug report referring to the same error, but it was about 10 months ago. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/185756 | 02:31 |
| axisys | or should I wait till it come out with real version? | 02:31 |
| onetinsoldier | csc_: can you get packages that are on A installed onto B? | 02:31 |
| dnyy | ziroday: It shows up in the side panel in the file browser, but when I click it I get a "Directory does not Exist" Also, for some odd reason, clicking the menu icon on the panel doesn't open a menu. ;o | 02:31 |
| djet | raylu: no. it's a problem dealing with nautilus though. | 02:31 |
| raylu | djet: wait...wrong person | 02:31 |
| mnemonic76 | I need to copy about 300GB of files from an internal HD to an external HD to change the filesystem on the internal HD... what is the best command? | 02:32 |
| raylu | djet: wait, not wrong person | 02:32 |
| DasEi | what can I do when machine hangs at bootup ? | 02:32 |
| mnemonic76 | Or should I just drag and drop, and hope it's all good? | 02:32 |
| djet | axisys: on the adobe site | 02:32 |
| djet | raylu: haha | 02:32 |
| raylu | djet: what do you mean problem dealing with nautilus? | 02:32 |
| raylu | DasEi: take off the quiet option | 02:32 |
| ziroday | dnyy: okay, can you pastebin ls -l /media please | 02:32 |
| csc_ | onetinsoldier, i dont understand what you mean.. | 02:32 |
| Jason_WT | what is the alternate cd? | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | jamnz, "ip route network/prefix gateway" | 02:32 |
| axisys | djet: i know.. i was looking for the pkg.. ofcourse i can just download the installer | 02:33 |
| Ward1983 | mnemonic76, its jsut data right? or is there a OS on it? | 02:33 |
| c0l2e | what's the current kernel of ubuntu 8.10 ?? | 02:33 |
| dnyy | ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m3dc3a976 sdb is empty when I go to it, though | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | csc_: A can download and install updates for instance? am i correct? can B do the same? | 02:33 |
| djet | raylu: like when i click on computer from places i get Could not display "computer". Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations." | 02:33 |
| DasEi | raylu: did that, same as safe mode, hangs at "running local bootscipts in rc.local ) (which is empty exept exit 0) | 02:33 |
| Ward1983 | mnemonic76, if there's an OS on it check dd, thats a tool to make images of partitions | 02:34 |
| ziroday | dnyy: hmm, when you do mount -a are there any errors? | 02:34 |
| mnemonic76 | Ward1983: Just a ton of files on an NTFS drive... I need to reformat as ext3 or vfat or something to use for vista backups... | 02:34 |

| csc_ | onetinsoldier, i am in A now | 02:35 |
| csc_ | onetinsoldier, B works fine outside the vpn | 02:35 |
| ziroday | dnyy: gah, when you do mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 are there any errors? | 02:35 |
| Ward1983 | mnemonic76, so you are saying vista cannot write on NTFS partitions? :s | 02:35 |
| raylu | djet: oh...strange | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | csc_: ok. let's say you want to get a package, you can get it on A. could this package then be installed onto B from A? that is my question. | 02:36 |
| Jason_WT | is it all commands or stuff like when some others ask you what is your language and stuff | 02:36 |
| dnyy | ziroday: must specify filesystem type | 02:36 |
| Jason_WT | like i press numbers from a list of choices to install it | 02:36 |
| ziroday | dnyy: one sec | 02:36 |
| ziroday | dnyy: hmm does your drive appear in gparted? | 02:36 |
| mnemonic76 | There is some kind of bug with Vista backup and the ACL? I don't know all the details, but my wife's laptop has vista, and the backup prog used to work. | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | csc_: is B able to download and install packages and updates directly then? | 02:37 |
| onetinsoldier | or* | 02:37 |
| csc_ | onetinsoldier, why not, trough ssh for instance: i can copy the package to B and then install it from A | 02:37 |
| mnemonic76 | I finally worked out the vista/ubuntu network sharing issues, and now there is some kind of filesystem bug. | 02:37 |

| csc_ | onetinsoldier, yes, but when outside the vpn | 02:37 |
| keres | gimp keeps crashin. | 02:37 |
| ziroday | dnyy: also does mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb | 02:38 |
| Wickk | what's the desktop environment that Xubuntu uses? | 02:38 |
| mnemonic76 | So I want to just workaround the problem by reformatting the partition to ext3 or vfat. | 02:38 |

| woody86_ | FAJALOU, ok, I updated my comp, disabled the driver, restarted my computer, reinstalled the driver and restalted my comp but it's still not detecting my network | 02:38 |
| csc_ | onetinsoldier, i can attach to internet from B when outside the vpn. i can control B from A always, in or out the vpn | 02:38 |
| Wickk | dr_willis: thanks | 02:38 |
| onetinsoldier | csc_: ok. i recommend installing a nice little networking monitor and info tool on both machines, called 'iptraf'. it 'might' give you some insight into what's the problem is | 02:38 |
| Tyrath | the last update I did (ie, today's update) installed some replacement password thing. - is that going to affect my ability to log in? | 02:38 |

| dnyy | ziroday: Same error about missing fs type, bad option, bad superblock, etc | 02:39 |
| checkers | halp can't install flashplayer-nonfree, it downloads the file from adobe but says 'md5sum mismatch' | 02:39 |
| ziroday | dnyy: even with -t ext3? | 02:39 |
| onetinsoldier | csc_: ok, sorry, but i probably can't be of much more help that that little suggestion | 02:39 |
| Tyrath | anyone? | 02:39 |
| Tyrath | did anyone install today's update? | 02:39 |
| dnyy | ziroday: yeah. :/ | 02:39 |
| bshak1 | I need help port forwarding with Apache on Ubuntu. Right now, when I enter my domain name, it takes me to the router page. I can enter the computer's IP Address and it will show me the website. I know I need to forward the ports. How do I do that? | 02:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Tyrath: yes... i think so. i got updates earlier this morning anyway. mostly to do with Firefox | 02:40 |
| bshak1 | the website works on my internal network when i type in the ip address | 02:40 |
| ziroday | dnyy: well I am out of ideas, it could be that the drive is badly formatted. You can format it with gparted but thats a long shot. Anyway I got to run, good luck. | 02:40 |
| eseven73 | bshak1: that is done by accessing your routers admin page | 02:40 |
| mohadib | hello | 02:40 |
| bshak1 | ok... but what do i do on the admin page? | 02:40 |
| dnyy | ziroday: alright, thanks. i formated it the first time with gparted. | 02:40 |
| dnyy | ziroday: should I use something else instead? | 02:40 |
| mohadib | to make fusesmb work i just need to do fusesmb /mnt/point ? | 02:40 |
| mohadib | im doiing that but nothing is showing up at the mount point | 02:41 |
| eseven73 | bshak1: usually its 192.168.0.1 or what not then once you're in, there should be a menu that allows you to forward port 80 | 02:41 |
| Izinucs | bshak1: also you're isp might block port 80 as their fair use rules typically rule out the running of servers. | 02:41 |

| lanwanman | make sure bios is set to boot on cd in first priority | 02:47 |
| lucent | fbc: "top" or "ps aux" ... well there's better ways to do that | 02:47 |
| GodfatherofEire | firefishe, I know, I did that, FF isnt recognizing it | 02:47 |
| Firefishe | GodfatherofEire: stwange | 02:47 |

| lucent | Philip_: depending on how shady and strange your install was alongside Vista, it may be that the bootloader was not "engaged" properly or that Vista just peed all over it | 02:48 |
| Firefishe | GodfatherofEire: Dunno then, as it's working with mine. Ummm, did you restart FF? If not, I'd do a reboot, then try it agian. | 02:48 |

| stovicek | Tyrath: those were security updates. | 02:50 |
| Firefishe | GodfatherofEire: Do not rightly know then, unless the symlink got trashed somehow. I think there needs to be a symlink pointing to the plugin directory where libflashplugin.so is located, perhaps in ~/.mozilla/plugins, or something similar. If not, try re-installing it. | 02:50 |

| ubottu | MrWizeGuy1983: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:08 |
| lucent | paranoid_ndroid: depends on which API is being used to output sound | 03:08 |
| Jason_WT | what is JeOS for | 03:08 |
| Tyrath | what does disable the root password for virtual mean? | 03:08 |
| tgr7 | uaa123 have you gone to the theme manager in ubuntu? | 03:08 |
| lucent | paranoid_ndroid: do you want to intercept the sound being mixed by your audio device, or the audio data that's being sent from the application? | 03:08 |
| powertool08 | I set my screen to big desktop mode with aticonfig -dtop=horizontal, kdm starts in this mode and it works like it should under one user, but when I log into my main user the screen flashes and it reverts to clone mode. Does anyone know what could cause this? | 03:08 |
| paranoid_ndroid | I want to intercept the sound | 03:09 |
| paranoid_ndroid | and record it in .ogg, for example | 03:09 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: could i see /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 03:09 |
| dashavoo | powertool08, can you send me your aticonfig binary please? | 03:09 |
| Jason_WT | is ubuntu JeOS made to be used in like vbox? | 03:09 |
| Tyrath | - that's apprently one of the updates of today's apt upgrade | 03:09 |

| simon_r | hi. i need some help with a bad install w/intrepid | 03:09 |
| powertool08 | dashavoo: the binary? I'm using the driver from ati's site | 03:09 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i'm using my laptop (which has had linux since a year ago when i got it) | 03:09 |
| lucent | paranoid_ndroid: ohh... Zyn | 03:09 |
| dashavoo | powertool08, I can't help with your problem atall, but it will help with my friends :P | 03:09 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: i thought you were on a livecd? | 03:09 |
| lucent | paranoid_ndroid: are you using it with JACK? | 03:10 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | no, i'm booting a livecd on it right now but it takes a while | 03:10 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | it's not up yet raylu | 03:10 |
| paranoid_ndroid | lucent, no, but I have JACK installed | 03:10 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: ok; pastebin it whenever you're ready | 03:10 |

| oo | iiiii | 03:10 |
| paranoid_ndroid | lucent, thank you | 03:10 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i'm not sure if i should follow the instructions on the grub man page from the livecd or not | 03:10 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | i wish i could get direct into a terminal from the ubuntu cd raylu | 03:11 |
| powertool08 | dashavoo: what do you mean by binary? the actual driver file? the name/version of it? something else? | 03:11 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: 10:07:23 raylu> MrWizeGuy1983: in answer to your previous question, it's in the applications menu. also, alt+f2, gnome-terminal | 03:11 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i hate having to boot the whole thing with X and all, i'm better with terminal usually | 03:11 |
| dashavoo | powertool08, /usr/bin/aticonfig | 03:11 |
| jpastore | is there something like "yum whatprovides" in ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| === re5 is now known as ThePopeVcd | ||
| MrWizeGuy1983 | no i mean directly, not gksudo gnome-terminal | 03:11 |

| chairman | is anyone having problems w/their webcams | 03:12 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: i think you can configure the kernel parameters...but you're going to need a web browser | 03:12 |
| powertool08 | dashavoo: oh... don't really have a way of sending you the executable itself... but like I said, straight from ati's site | 03:12 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | elinks is great raylu lol | 03:12 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: heh | 03:12 |
| dashavoo | powertool08, alright, thanks | 03:12 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | unfortunately i'm not having much fun getting this stupid thing to work | 03:12 |
| vermont | hi there. I heard something about a program, or something, that had 'envy' in the title. I'm looking for a driver for my nvidia card. Can I sudo it? does anyone know the command exactly? | 03:12 |
| bambuz | no help for my sound problem? | 03:12 |
| Arrowhead212002 | whats crackin | 03:12 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: you should poke around the parameters and set the runlevel to 3 | 03:12 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i have to be able to get to a terminal to do my magic lol | 03:12 |
| KillerOrca | Ok, I am trying to use a Gparted livecd to copy one install from one hdd to another, but it won't move it over, anyone done this before? | 03:12 |
| Tyrath | actually sorry | 03:13 |
| Tyrath | !virtual machine | 03:13 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 03:13 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | raylu, i'm not sure where to set run level or which parameters you're talking about, what's the config file? | 03:13 |
| raylu | !kqemu | 03:13 |
| ubottu | kqemu is a kernel module (now free under the GPL license) for speeding up the !QEMU virtual machine. Installation instructions can be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/KQEmu | 03:13 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i fear the livecd has frozen, it's taking forever to boot to it raylu | 03:13 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: before you boot, it's f4 (i think) | 03:13 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | nevermind...just went | 03:13 |
| Tyrath | !vm-builder | 03:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vm-builder | 03:13 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | oh awesome, thanks raylu but what do you type? | 03:13 |
| Tyrath | eh :/ | 03:14 |
| powertool08 | dashavoo: I used the ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_x64.run script to install it | 03:14 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: i haven't messed with it. the only thing i've used it for is to turn off acpi | 03:14 |
| Jason_WT | what is a torrent file | 03:14 |
| raylu | Jason_WT: google | 03:14 |
| Tyrath | Jason_WT: something you can extract using a torrent program like rtorrent | 03:14 |
| raylu | i don't think you meant "extract" | 03:15 |
| Jason_WT | so it is like a zip file | 03:15 |
| cakey | hey Jason_WT | 03:15 |
| vermont | hi there. I heard something about a program, or something, that had 'envy' in the title. I'm looking for a driver for my nvidia card. Can I sudo it? does anyone know the command exactly? | 03:15 |
| cakey | seriously.. | 03:15 |
| dashavoo | powertool08, thanks, I will have a look for that... all I can say about the ati stuff in the repositories is "grrr!" | 03:15 |
| Tyrath | raylu: how so? | 03:15 |
| Tyrath | !torrent | Jason_WT | 03:15 |
| ubottu | Jason_WT: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 03:15 |
| cakey | Jason_WT: and everyone who doesnt know what Torrent is... | 03:15 |
| cakey | http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=What+is+a+Torrent | 03:15 |
| cakey | ._. | 03:15 |
| Jason_WT | cakey: what | 03:15 |
| Tyrath | Jason_WT: actually scrap that | 03:15 |
| cakey | GO!!!!!!!!!! | 03:16 |
| raylu | Tyrath: the torrent file merely describes the torrent and lists trackers. you don't extract it. see jason's last message | 03:16 |
| cakey | Jason_WT: http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=What+is+a+Torrent | 03:16 |
| cuonglb | hey guys | 03:16 |
| cakey | same link for those who dunno what torrents are | 03:16 |
| Wyzard | vermont: "envy" is the name of an in-development free driver for nVidia graphics cards, but I don't think it's reached a ready-for-general-use stage yet | 03:16 |
| cakey | >:[ | 03:16 |
| vermont | Wyzard, so what can I do about my Nvidia card? | 03:16 |
| littlejimmy | what's up boys?rn | 03:16 |
| raylu | !nvidia | vermont | 03:16 |
| ubottu | vermont: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:16 |
| cakey | hi girl | 03:16 |
| Tyrath | raylu: so you're saying you can go into this list, find the paths of the files and install them without a torrent application? | 03:17 |
| Wyzard | vermont: hmm, no, I'm wrong, envy is an installer for drivers; the driver I was thinking of is called "nouveau" | 03:17 |
| vermont | also: raylu, thanks. | 03:17 |
| |GaiJin| | is there a way to increase the volume on my laptop, even though i have set everything to max?? | 03:17 |
| raylu | Tyrath: what? | 03:17 |
| vermont | oh ok, wyzard, thank you | 03:17 |
| malianx | |GaiJin|, get an amp? | 03:17 |
| raylu | Tyrath: the torrent appplication processes the torrent file and downloads it from other peers given by the tracker | 03:17 |
| raylu | Tyrath: there are no "paths" to files | 03:17 |
| Tyrath | raylu: ah k | 03:17 |
| littlejimmy | how is your uncle?rn | 03:17 |
| |GaiJin| | yeah | 03:17 |
| cakey | Jason_WT: http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=What+is+a+Torrent | 03:17 |
| Jason_WT | so is the ubuntu torrent file an iso image that i need to use a client to get out | 03:17 |
| |GaiJin| | it was that then | 03:17 |
| Wyzard | vermont: Anyway, Ubuntu's own "hardware drivers" window should be able to install the driver for your nVidia card | 03:18 |
| raylu | Jason_WT: i suggest cakey's link | 03:18 |
| Tyrath | raylu: actually that would make sense | 03:18 |
| Tyrath | raylu: hence why the torrent file itself is pretty small | 03:18 |
| malianx | Jason_WT, A torrent file is pretty much just text. It shows your client how to connect to other clients to download the file(s) in question. | 03:18 |
| roosel | is there a task manager in gnome ? | 03:18 |
| malianx | Jason_WT, Open it with deluge, wait a while | 03:18 |
| TriBeCa99 | having trouble with an install, if anyone can help | 03:18 |
| cakey | Tyrath: http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=Why+is+a+Torrent+file+so+small | 03:19 |
| Tyrath | raylu: ever since torrents started giving me viruses i've tended to keep clear of them. being on ubuntu may change that | 03:19 |
| raylu | it also shows how not to connect to other clients, information which bitcomet parses and promptly ignores | 03:19 |
| Tyrath | cakey: thanks but raylu just explained it to me | 03:19 |
| TriBeCa99 | i have 4 1TB drives, i'm looking to software raid them into 2TB of raid10 | 03:19 |
| malianx | roosel, system -> admin -> system monitor | 03:19 |
| raylu | Tyrath: <3 private trackers | 03:19 |
| cakey | demonoid <3 | 03:19 |
| dashavoo | Tyrath, if you got a virus from a torrent you are downloading the wrong stuff ;) | 03:19 |
| cakey | thats where i got most of my games | 03:19 |
| TriBeCa99 | is there a way to set that up before installing? | 03:19 |
| Jason_WT | so it just tells the client where to go to get the actual iso image? | 03:19 |
| malianx | cakey, careful someone might narc | 03:19 |
| Tyrath | dashavoo: well that may be true... | 03:19 |
| raylu | TriBeCa99: software to set up raid? um... | 03:20 |
| TriBeCa99 | ubuntu software raid | 03:20 |
| TriBeCa99 | i also have fakeraid on the MB | 03:20 |
| snake_ | hello to all | 03:20 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: The "alternate" install CD can do that, I believe | 03:20 |
| Tyrath | dashavoo: even downloading cracks gave me viruses tho lol | 03:20 |
| TriBeCa99 | i've got it | 03:20 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: just pick manual partitioning | 03:20 |
| TriBeCa99 | did | 03:20 |
| TriBeCa99 | deleted the partitions on the drives | 03:20 |
| raylu | oh hey, whatdyaknow. that's what raid10 is :P | 03:20 |
| Tyrath | dashavoo: and crack's are conveniance given you have a habit of loosing CDs | 03:20 |
| TriBeCa99 | but can't figure a way to RAID them | 03:20 |
| vermont | is there away to turn stop ubuntu from making me type my password in all the time? | 03:20 |
| dashavoo | Tyrath, what? you got a virus downloading a CRACK!?!??! omgwtf | 03:20 |
| malianx | vermont, man sudo | 03:20 |
| dashavoo | Tyrath, I agree with you about losing cds | 03:20 |
| Setebos | I have a home network and on a network drive I have a windows game installed that is meant to run on my brothers windows computer. How can I run it on mine without installing anything? | 03:21 |
| cakey | L2Pirate | 03:21 |
| Tyrath | dashavoo: lol. yeah not the best :/ | 03:21 |
| snake_ | i have an ispconfig problem. it doesnt autostart and its a ssl cert fault because i selected yes for ssl cert during the install. can anyone tell me how to disable or delete it ? thank you | 03:21 |
| c0l2e | can I use qemu to test a liveCd ?? | 03:21 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: On each drive, make a single partition that fills the whole drive, and set its type to "physical volume for RAID" | 03:21 |
| raylu | Setebos: also, how does one fly without leaving the ground? | 03:21 |
| c0l2e | how can I graphically boot a liveCD using qemu ? | 03:21 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: then choose "configure software RAID" | 03:21 |
| TriBeCa99 | Wyzard: ok one sec | 03:21 |
| raylu | !qemu | c0l2e | 03:21 |
| ubottu | c0l2e: qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 03:21 |
| raylu | er... | 03:21 |
| Setebos | raylu: So your saying I can't run it from another computer? | 03:21 |
| syuroff | why would it be impossible to find php5-mcrypt_5.1.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb in any of the mirrors? | 03:22 |
| raylu | Setebos: you'd have to install either windows or wine | 03:22 |
| Tyrath | so if i'm not wrong the last ubuntu update secures the login so that other's can't bypass your root password through hacking into your system through a virtual machine? | 03:22 |
| powertool08 | Nobody knows why one user would log in with extended monitor setup while another logs in as clone mode? | 03:22 |
| raylu | c0l2e: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QemuEmulator | 03:22 |
| Tyrath | or something like that... | 03:22 |
| Setebos | raylu: I have wine installed already. I didn't expect it to run without that. I man without installing the game. | 03:22 |
| raylu | Tyrath: yes...something like that | 03:23 |
| Tyrath | dashavoo: hopefully there aren't many linux viruses on torrents that will affect me | 03:23 |
| raylu | Setebos: so...why can't you just wine the game? | 03:23 |
| === exodus_ms is now known as tornadoRally | ||
| keres | does this syntax for scons look right: 'sudo scons build="release"'? | 03:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | @Wyzard: I see there's no RAID10 | 03:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | any idea how raid 5 stacks up? | 03:24 |
| === tornadoRally is now known as shmeg | ||
| Tyrath | raylu: did you look up the bitlbee-skype project? | 03:24 |
| keres | wait, yes, nm | 03:24 |
| raylu | Tyrath: yes...it requires skype running :( | 03:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | i understand it's not as good with software/fakeraid solutions because it's CPU bound and takes longer to calculate parity | 03:25 |
| phpmonk | can anyone tell how to install apache2-mod-perl lib? | 03:25 |
| === shmeg is now known as exodus_MS | ||
| Tyrath | raylu: i thought it only required the skype server to be running :/ | 03:25 |
| Tyrath | raylu: like that was the skyped program | 03:25 |
| Jason_WT | is there a can for bittorrent? | 03:25 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: I used to have a 3x750GB RAID-5 and I added a fourth disk and converted it to RAID-10 for performance reasons | 03:25 |
| Jason_WT | chan* | 03:25 |
| TriBeCa99 | hmm | 03:25 |
| Tyrath | raylu: as such you could save RAM in not loading up the full skype app | 03:25 |
| raylu | Tyrath: Note | 03:25 |
| TriBeCa99 | there's no raid10 option in the installer | 03:25 |
| raylu | Note | 03:26 |
| TriBeCa99 | is it worth trying to use the fakeraid 10? | 03:26 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: Only 0, 1, and 5? | 03:26 |
| raylu | You will see that this implementation of the Skype plug-in still requires a Skype instance to be running. This is because I'm not motivated to reverse engineer Skype's obfuscation layer. (Not mentioning that you should ask your lawyer about if it is legal or not..) | 03:26 |
| TriBeCa99 | yeah | 03:26 |
| TriBeCa99 | that's all i see | 03:26 |
| Tyrath | raylu: ah k | 03:26 |
| Tyrath | raylu: but could a skype instance just not be the skyped daemon? | 03:26 |
| nikitis | Question, i just did an online update via update manager and i think it upgraded the network manager. It says in the tray however that there are no active connections, yet i'm speaking to you. Is this a known bug? | 03:26 |
| weng` | when i tried to issued the command sudo update-grub i got the error: Your /usr is broken, please fix it before call this wrapper | 03:27 |
| weng` | any ideas ? | 03:27 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: I'm surprised... anyway, what I'd do is create a raid1 with just two of the disks, and then later you can manually create a degraded raid10 on the other two, move the data over, break the raid1 and add the remaining two disks to the 10 | 03:27 |
| raylu | Tyrath: sorry, i don't follow... skyped daemon? | 03:27 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | raylu, what's the server name to get here? | 03:27 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: a little tedious, but it's basically the same process I followed to convert my raid5 to raid10 | 03:27 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: chat.freenode.net | 03:27 |
| Tyrath | raylu: one of the progs you need to run bitlbee-skype | 03:27 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | thank you | 03:27 |
| Khomeini | I'm having an issue installing the wireless drivers on my Acer Aspire 1, is there anyone that can help me? | 03:27 |
| Tyrath | raylu: actually it is bitlbee-skype | 03:27 |
| TriBeCa99 | Wyzard: got any links? or will you be around for a while? ;p | 03:28 |
| nikitis | Anyone know what is going on? | 03:28 |
| raylu | Khomeini: not unless you describe the problem in more detail | 03:28 |
| Tyrath | raylu: other than that you need skype4py | 03:28 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: No and no, unfortunately | 03:28 |
| TriBeCa99 | Wyzard: not sure i could tackle that on my own. | 03:28 |
| === malianx is now known as mal|away | ||
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: but others can likely help | 03:28 |
| raylu | nikitis: you could try "sudo invoke-rc.d NetworkManager" | 03:28 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | grub says cannot mount selected partition when i follow the instructions on the grub howto manual raylu | 03:28 |
| Tyrath | raylu: but yeah, you still will need the application on the HD because I think that it interfaces with something backdoor | 03:28 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: I entered "gksudo ggedit /ect/apt/sources.list" but the menu that comes up is black | 03:28 |
| TriBeCa99 | wyzard: can you outline what it involves? | 03:28 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: um...i have no idea what you did | 03:28 |
| nikitis | raylu says parameter is missing | 03:29 |
| raylu | Khomeini: menu? i'd suggest opening a terminal and use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 03:29 |
| Tyrath | raylu: do you use bitlbee? | 03:29 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i tried to follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto to fix an error 18 on grub | 03:29 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | raylu, ^ | 03:29 |
| raylu | Tyrath: not atm, but normally, yes | 03:29 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: I opened the terminal, typed in the command I said and the window that popped up after that was empty. I'll try what you said though | 03:29 |
| raylu | nikitis: oh, sorry | 03:29 |
| raylu | nikitis: tack "restart" onto the end of that" | 03:30 |
| Tyrath | raylu: ah k. so you deleted pidgin? and do you find you can do everything with bitlbee you can do with pidgin? | 03:30 |
| TriBeCa99 | the other problem with my install is the installer doesn't seem to find my LAN port | 03:30 |
| raylu | Khomeini: you did mean "gedit", not "gedit, right? | 03:30 |
| raylu | Khomeini: *ggedit | 03:30 |
| mxweas | Where are login themes stored for gdm? | 03:30 |
| raylu | MrWizeGuy1983: when'd you get that error message? | 03:30 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: make a raid1 with two of the disks, and leave the other two untouched (partition them as "physical volume for RAID" but don't add them to an array) | 03:30 |
| nikitis | raylu, it restarted, but same thing. When I go to edit connections, there are none listed! | 03:30 |
| Khomeini | raylu: On the guide I have it just says gedit | 03:30 |
| raylu | nikitis: no idea then. networkmanager confuses me | 03:30 |

| Khomeini | Raylu: Sorry, misstyped | 03:31 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: Once you're done installing, use mdadm to create a new raid10 array of four disks, but use "missing" in place of the two disks that are part of the raid1, to create a degraded array | 03:31 |
| raylu | Khomeini: um...you don't need to edit the file to do that | 03:31 |
| oinker | hi. my screen shuts down when intrepid loads, even after a fesh install. any clues? | 03:31 |
| raylu | Khomeini: and you also _don't_ want to do that | 03:31 |
| raylu | Khomeini: you can do it from within synaptic. also, there's some gui tool in system > admin > software sources, i believe | 03:31 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: e.g. "missing /dev/sdc1 missing /dev/sdd1" | 03:31 |
| phpmonk | anyone please help how to install apache libs? | 03:31 |
| lucent | fwaokda: which IP do you want, your NIC or your ext ip? | 03:31 |
| alexserver | damn, i need to replace pata_module with amd74xxx within kernel | 03:31 |
| vermont | last question: song bird or amarok? | 03:32 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Well, I'm really just attempting to install Atheros 5xxx drivers for my Acer Aspire 1 Wireless card | 03:32 |
| raylu | Khomeini: but enabling all of them is usually not a good idea unless you're prepared to deal with unstable software/breakage | 03:32 |
| raylu | Khomeini: i suppose you've tried iwconfig? | 03:32 |
| nikitis | raylu, is network manager no longer grabbing information from /etc/network/interfaces? | 03:32 |
| raylu | nikitis: it never did, i believe | 03:32 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: No, I'm fairly new to this whole Ubuntu thing, I've just been following an online guide that doesn't help much | 03:32 |
| raylu | nikitis: someone in here mentioned earlier that configuring an interface in that file will cause nm to ignore it | 03:32 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: Once you have your new array, create a filesystem in it (or LVM or whatever you like to use inside your arrays), and boot a liveCD or something, mount both arrays (the raid1 and the raid10), and copy all the files over | 03:33 |
| raylu | Khomeini: ok, does iwconfig give you any configuration information? or just that there are no wireless extensions? | 03:33 |
| oakmac | I have dual monitors. How can I set a keyboard command to move a maximized window from monitor 1 to monitor 2 and vice versa? | 03:33 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: no wireless extensions | 03:33 |
| raylu | Khomeini: can you show me the guide you're following? | 03:33 |
| Wyzard | TriBeCa99: Once you have your system up and running from the degraded raid10, you can get rid of the temporary raid1 you created, and "mdadm --add" those two disks to the raid10 | 03:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | ok | 03:34 |
| cvtnix | how do i make playback of youtube videos smooth and not choppy? | 03:34 |

| TriBeCa99 | Wyzard: thanks much, i think i can manage that | 03:34 |
| TriBeCa99 | i've got the raid1 setting up now | 03:34 |
| fwaokda | lucent, nvmind i got it thanks | 03:34 |
| Khomeini | raylu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne <- Down in the Wifi section | 03:34 |
| \Kira | Im trying to install xchat from source, and I get this error: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". The slackware solution is to install glibc, but this isnt slackware. I also found that using sudo apt-get build-essential, but it reports build-essential is a invalid arguement. Any help? | 03:35 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: From what I gather the stock drivers are not compatible with the Acer Aspire 1, and I'm attempting to replace them | 03:35 |
| raylu | Khomeini: are we in the 8.10 section? | 03:35 |
| jrib | \Kira: xchat is in the repositories | 03:35 |

| raylu | th3r0n: ...? | 03:37 |
| th3r0n | this is the one i need help on raylu | 03:37 |
| jrib | \Kira: yep. By the way, you wanted 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' | 03:37 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Where is that option, sorry | 03:37 |
| raylu | Khomeini: i'd tell you, but i'm not on ubuntu right now :P. it's on the second or third tab, iirc | 03:37 |
| lwizardl | Khomeini: ok because I'm in the market for a new notebook since my sony viao died | 03:37 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: All right, still looking | 03:38 |
| \Kira | jrib: okay, thanks :) It wasnt my fault, I blame the dude on the forums :D. Im guessing using build essential wouldnt work for a source download, though. Right? | 03:38 |
| alexserver | can anyone help me to solve this issue ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/307829 | 03:38 |

| alexserver | how to compile a module within kernel instead of another one ? | 03:39 |
| raylu | Khomeini: it should contain the word "backports" if you can't find it, i suppose we'll edit sources.list manually | 03:39 |
| alexserver | defn: Menu System/Preferences/Screen Resolution | 03:39 |
| th3r0n1 | raylu: i'm on irssi now and need help figuring out the error 18, think you're up for it man? | 03:39 |

| zombie_ | looking for help here | 03:40 |
| raylu | th3r0n1: ask the channel | 03:40 |
| Khomeini | Ralyu: Now what? | 03:40 |
| raylu | Khomeini: now, you should see lines with backports | 03:41 |
| th3r0n1 | ubuntu people, how can i fix an error 18 on grub? | 03:41 |
| th3r0n1 | it doesn't want to work | 03:41 |
| zombie_ | I did a fresh install and my grub is on the wrong disk | 03:41 |
| zombie_ | I want it on the disk I installed hardy on | 03:41 |
| Acedip | hey guys, i have just run a disk check, and what does this output mean, are my partitions fine or bad http://pastebin.com/m71ff0dc1 | 03:41 |
| \Kira | In the online ubuntu documents there is a article about using ssh "keys" (or something like that) to allow only certain computers to be able to connect and it disables the password feature (I think). He said he did this because he was getting about 4000 password attempts a week. Im not sure if mine has this many, but wouldnt it just okay to disable the root account? Then they would have to guess the account username and password. Or is it not enough? This | 03:42 |
| \Kira | server runs all the time, so what would you recommend? | 03:42 |
| moebius | what's with the massive package upgrade on intrepid today | 03:42 |
| magikid | \What is a good process limit for /etc/security/limits.conf? | 03:42 |
| raylu | Acedip: they were bad, now they're good | 03:42 |
| jbmigel | zombie: man grub-install | 03:42 |
| raylu | \Kira: there's an option to prevent password authentication | 03:43 |
| zombie_ | how can i install grub on my fresh install disk? | 03:43 |
| giacomo | hello! | 03:43 |

| mxweas | How can I change my ubuntu login screen resolution so it is larger than 800x600? | 03:43 |
| jbmigel | zombie_: man grub-install | 03:43 |
| raylu | alexserver: which kernel are you on now? | 03:43 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Okay, removed the comment. Now what? | 03:43 |
| \Kira | raylu: prevent password authentication? For the root account you mean? | 03:43 |
| oinker | my fresh install is buggered, what is a stable version of ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| raylu | Khomeini: ctrl+o, ctrl+x | 03:43 |
| === ThePopeVcd is now known as re5 | ||
| \Kira | oinker: ubuntu 8.10 is the latest stable version | 03:43 |
| raylu | \Kira: you can disable root logins (on be default, i believe) or prevent password authentication for everyone | 03:44 |
| giacomo | Finally I've booted into my ubuntu with my self compiled vanilla kernel with all my needed modules built-inside the kernel. So, now, I want to disable udev and modprobe at boot time. Do you know how can I archive this? | 03:44 |
| oinker | kira: thanks, but it wont boot up - what about b4 8.10? | 03:44 |
| Acedip | raylu: what does this line mean /dev/sdb5: 6050/9641984 files (4.7% non-contiguous), 22277446/38543943 blocks and this one too /dev/sdb1: 11/132192 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 25483/528129 blocks | 03:44 |
| raylu | oinker: this question can be easily answered by visiting the website... | 03:44 |
| \Kira | raylu: what does preventing password authentication for everyone do? If it stops them from logging in, doesnt that remove the whole point of ssh? | 03:44 |
| alexserver | raylu: 2.6.27.9 generic ubuntu distro | 03:44 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Okay, now what? | 03:45 |
| Wyzard | Acedip: That's some basic statistics about your filesystem, printed by fsck after scanning it | 03:45 |
| raylu | Acedip: files present/files allowed by the filesystem (% of files split across blocks), blocks used/blocks available, limited by size of partition | 03:45 |
| oinker | raylu: thanks. but I've cheched websittes, forums, and here, and i cant seem to get an answer... | 03:45 |
| raylu | Khomeini: sudo aptitude update | 03:45 |
| aiuw | What size do I set an image if I want it to the be terminal background | 03:45 |
| alexserver | raylu: the fact is, I need to disable pata-amd and enable amd74xxx so i can read dvd's as normal people should do | 03:45 |
| raylu | \Kira: there are other methods (key) of authentication | 03:46 |
| unop | aiuw, the maximum size of the terminal i.e. when maximised? | 03:46 |
| raylu | oinker: how about the get ubuntu page? | 03:46 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Lots of stuff happened, now what? Thanks for all the help, by the way | 03:46 |
| raylu | Khomeini: now you should be able to run that command | 03:46 |
| Tyrath | anyhow thanks for the help people | 03:46 |
| Acedip | raylu: so u are sure the disks are fine ? | 03:46 |
| Tyrath | ciao | 03:46 |
| aiuw | unop, sure? I just want it to fix the terminal screen w/o having to resize the terminal window | 03:46 |
| \Kira | raylu: I see, would you reccommend the key method, or is the password method okay? btw, root account login is enables by default, I just checked. | 03:46 |
| raylu | Acedip: fsck thinks they are | 03:46 |
| Khomeini | Raylo: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-intrepid-generic? | 03:46 |
| oinker | I've got a good copy of 8.10 on one computer, but on the newer one, afetr it installs, it starts to load, then a black screen | 03:46 |
| vermont | I just installed cairo dock, but now I can't find it. | 03:47 |
| oinker | then nothing for hours | 03:47 |
| raylu | \Kira: the password method is annoying, imo. but the key method relies on the key... if that gets compromised, you're scrood. | 03:47 |
| \Kira | oinker: try booting into safe mode? | 03:47 |
| raylu | Khomeini: yes | 03:47 |
| oinker | is that recovery mode? | 03:47 |
| \Kira | raylu: I see, I think ill stay with the password method, then. Thanks | 03:47 |
| \Kira | oinker: yes, sorry. I meant recovery mode | 03:47 |
| Acedip | raylu: any other tool for an extensive disk check ?? | 03:48 |
| unop | aiuw, well, if you set a background image and it is less than the dimensions of the terminal window - it will appear skewed when maximised - i also believe the gnome-terminal makes smart adjustments when it is not maximised | 03:48 |
| unop | aiuw, try it and see - is what i'd say | 03:48 |
| oinker | yes, been there, done the x server check, disk check, memeory test | 03:48 |
| raylu | alexserver: i have no idea if this will work, but you can download the source from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-9-server | 03:48 |
| raylu | alexserver: and reconfigure, rebuild yourself | 03:48 |
| raylu | Acedip: not that i know of. why? | 03:48 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: "couldn' find package linux-backports-intrepid-generic" | 03:48 |
| oinker | kira: yes, been there, done the x server check, disk check, memeory test | 03:48 |
| \Kira | oinker: I see, well. I guess you could try checking the log files. Im not very familiar with that, though. Mabye somebody else would know? Sorry I cant help you further... | 03:49 |
| raylu | Khomeini: you forgot a bit. "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic" | 03:49 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Thanks | 03:49 |
| \Kira | oinker: it might also be a good idea to see if the live cd works. | 03:49 |
| oinker | kira: live cd works | 03:49 |
| Acedip | raylu: because i really feel that my disk has some problems.. | 03:49 |
| raylu | oinker: remove quiet from the grub boot options | 03:50 |
| mxweas | anyone?> | 03:50 |
| \Kira | oinker: hmm.... The installation might have goofed up at some point. Mabye try it again? I dont know what im doing very well. Someone may have a better answer | 03:50 |
| DiiPhantom | any idea why would a xfer of 3gigs from usb NTFS harddisk to sata hardist with ubuntu slow down? | 03:50 |
| oinker | raylu: isnt that for PC's w/low RAM? | 03:50 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: So this is just downloading old, unsupported modules in hopes of getting me the right drivers? I'm new to the whole Ubuntu thing, trying to learn as I go along | 03:50 |
| alexserver | raylu: so, i need to recompile the whole kernel ? that is a task i dont know how to do | 03:50 |
| DiiPhantom | started with 2.2mbs now its at 1.2mbs | 03:50 |
| raylu | oinker: and debugging | 03:50 |
| \Kira | oinker: raylu has a good idea, id go with that | 03:51 |
| raylu | Khomeini: backports are new and possibly not entirely stable | 03:51 |
| Khomeini | Raylu: Ooh, fun | 03:51 |
| vermont | I just installed cairo dock. on 8.04 it went straight to "system tools" but I changed to 8.10 and I can't find it | 03:51 |
| raylu | alexserver: it's not difficult | 03:51 |
| alexserver | raylu: is there a how to in ubuntu site or something i could read to learn ? | 03:52 |
| nikitis | DiiPhantom, go into your bios and enable hispeed usb | 03:53 |
| raylu | alexserver: i'm not sure if the source package on that page is sufficient. hopefully, it's got their configuration in it | 03:53 |
| nikitis | DiiPhantom, your bios setting somehow got reset | 03:53 |
| DiiPhantom | motherboard bios? | 03:53 |
| raylu | alexserver: if it is, you can just go to /usr/src/whatever and use "make makeconfig" to configure it (it's graphical..ish") and then "make" | 03:53 |
| nikitis | yes | 03:53 |
| DiiPhantom | ok ill do that | 03:53 |
| DiiPhantom | ty | 03:53 |
| nikitis | i had the same problem | 03:54 |
| nikitis | i knew i had usb 2.0, but it was going fast at start then stop to crawling speeds | 03:54 |
| raylu | DiiPhantom: ...is the transfer over a usb connection? | 03:54 |
| nikitis | once i enabled, it went great | 03:54 |
| vermont | anybody? anybody...Bueler. | 03:54 |
| DiiPhantom | from usb hd to sata hd | 03:54 |
| raylu | DiiPhantom: oh, proceed | 03:54 |

| oinker | tty2 | 04:00 |
| onetinsoldier | CntrySheepFahker: have you tried System --> Preferences --> Mouse ? | 04:00 |
| raylu | Khomeini1: it means that ath5k is installed and loaded | 04:01 |
| raylu | Khomeini1: iwconfig | 04:01 |
| CntrySheepFahker | onetinsoldier: it doesn't have a option for scroll and yes I have. | 04:01 |
| raylu | Khomeini1: (modprobe usually produces annoyingly little output) | 04:01 |
| onetinsoldier | CntrySheepFahker: oh.. roger | 04:01 |
| Khomeini1 | Raylu: Stuff is coming up under wlan0, I guess it just doesn't auto connect? | 04:01 |
| raylu | Khomeini1: yep. do you have network manager running (top-right, by default) | 04:01 |
| vermont | One more try: I downloaded Cairo Dock using the package manager...now I can't find it. | 04:02 |
| lucent | raylu: you could suggest modinfo to verify if a module exists | 04:02 |
| CntrySheepFahker | I thought it would be fun trying a new OS, but linux man is a pain. Nothing works right. | 04:02 |
| raylu | vermont: name of the package? | 04:02 |
| mrwes | re | 04:02 |
| lucent | CntrySheepFahker: dell.com buy a 1420n laptop, preloaded with Ubuntu, everything works | 04:02 |
| Izinucs | CntrySheepFahker: it works but you're just not use to it.. probably still thinking in the "windows" way. | 04:02 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: better than being at the mercy of the people who coded your system | 04:02 |
| eseven73 | vermont: sometimes you have to log out/log in to see menu/icon stuff | 04:02 |
| oinker | raylu: tty2 | 04:02 |
| Ward1983 | does anyone use vnuml? i'm trying to set it up but there is no 64bit deb for ediv | 04:03 |
| lucent | CntrySheepFahker: I own a 1420n, it just bloody works. | 04:03 |
| raylu | oinker: did you boot as rescue mode? | 04:03 |
| vermont | eseven73, oh alright. thanks for that. I'll try it now. raylu, if that doesn't work I'll come back and find out the exact package name. | 04:03 |
| raylu | oinker: if not, "sudo dmesg | tail" may help | 04:03 |
| oinker | raylu: no, & ok | 04:03 |
| CntrySheepFahker | Guys ya'll dont have to flame me lol. I know it has potential. But you have to configure everything or know 100 commands to get stuff working. | 04:03 |
| coppro | does anyone have experience with Compiz? | 04:03 |
| Izinucs | That's all part of the adventure | 04:04 |

| coppro | It is making my windows semitransparent when not focused | 04:04 |
| coppro | and it irritates me | 04:04 |
| jbmigel | CntrySheepFahker: you might want to look at the mouse settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf... maybe something weird got in there about scroll | 04:04 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: i'd google harder for your problem :P | 04:04 |
| coppro | and I can't find the way to turn it off | 04:04 |
| keres | how do you change the amount of RAM a program can use? | 04:04 |

| * lucent falls over laughing | 04:49 | |
| earthling | rodolfo: all i want to say about your problem is that, when you download a file sometimes u get a file with the md5 checksum value.. to check the intigrity of the file you do a md5checksum.. the result will be a key value. compare those 2 keyvalues. if they match everthing is ok.. if dont then chances are something a wrong | 04:49 |

| raylu | lucent: lol...this deserves to be on bash | 04:50 |
| Brack10 | raylu: right so I tried deleting MY .mozilla and then replacing with root's .mozilla | 04:50 |
| rodolfo | earthling, yes, I know. but how to run the md5checksum on windows platform? | 04:50 |
| Brack10 | deleting didn't work, so I tried merging, which also didn't work | 04:50 |
| lucent | raylu: it needs to stop before my neighbors complain about the 24-year old man making strange laughing noises | 04:51 |
| earthling | rodolfo: well on a cd checksum sometimes we do get a checksum aerror.. but most of the time even then the cd installation installs without faill. if you are not making a critical server installation and want a installation for your deskyop then you can start installation most of the time | 04:51 |
| raylu | Khomeini: um...? you mean in the gnome sessions config? | 04:51 |
| Flannel | lucent, raylu: Please take this elsewhere. May I suggest #ubuntu-offtopic? | 04:51 |
| raylu | Khomeini: because /usr/bin/netbook-launcher is a "command" | 04:51 |
| lucent | Flannel: I was thinking #ubuntu-flaimbait but if you insist :) | 04:51 |
| \Kira | rodolfo: you can download a program in windows to check md5sums. Google it | 04:51 |

| FrozenFire | Hello everyone. When I first installed Ubuntu, I created a / partition, a swap, and a /home partition. My system is completely borked, and I need to reinstall Ubuntu. How can I do this without risking the destruction of my /home partition? | 05:04 |
| Meta | lucent: No. | 05:04 |
| Meta | raylu: Yes | 05:04 |
| raylu | vermont: you also don't own the world yet | 05:04 |
| raylu | Meta: phpmyadmin | 05:04 |
| threeparrots | mindrape: how exactly does that work | 05:04 |
| Meta | Geh | 05:04 |
| lucent | Meta: uh, it's not likely that you'll get a primer lesson in how to do that right here ;P look for a guide or a forum thread on how to do it | 05:04 |
| raylu | Meta: ? | 05:04 |
| lucent | FrozenFire: depends, like, which partition is /home ? :P | 05:04 |
| Meta | I have MySQL set up, why can't I just use that, raylu? | 05:04 |
| coppro | FrozenFire: I would recommend reinstallilng without touching that partition, then modifying /etc/fstab appropriately | 05:04 |
| raylu | Meta: because it's not trivial | 05:05 |
| TriBeCa99 | hey guys | 05:05 |
| Meta | raylu: Huh? | 05:05 |
| FrozenFire | lucent: /dev/sda6 | 05:05 |
| TriBeCa99 | i need help getting ubuntu to recognize my LAN drivers | 05:05 |
| raylu | Meta: there are plenty of guides on how to login to your mysql server as root from the cli client and create a user | 05:05 |
| TriBeCa99 | it's nVidia nforce LAN | 05:05 |
| onetinsoldier | FrozenFire: in the installer choose to manually set up the partitions. chose to use that /home partition but not to format it. there's a checkbox to check or uncheck concerning the formatting of a partition | 05:05 |
| TriBeCa99 | one barrier is i can't get the box online, obviously | 05:05 |
| mker | FrozenFire, just don't overwite the /home partition when you reinstall. Mount it but don't do any changes to it. The partition manager in the installer is pretty simple so you'll be alright | 05:05 |
| raylu | Meta: (basically, what lucent said) | 05:05 |
| lucent | FrozenFire: yeah just use the partitioner when you install, and mount /dev/sda6 as /home but do not format it | 05:05 |
| Meta | Blah | 05:05 |
| raylu | Meta: if you want to avoid that, phpmyadmin | 05:05 |
| earthling | FrozenFire: my personal fav solution-- take the hard disk out.. connect to other computer as secondry.. then mount that HD back up your artition /home and then do what u like with the HD | 05:05 |
| Meta | You guys suck at helping | 05:05 |
| FrozenFire | onetinsoldier: Won't that still overwrite the data in /home? | 05:05 |
| raylu | Meta: ... | 05:05 |
| GuitarInc1 | threepatriots: ALSA doesn't automatically recognize it? | 05:06 |
| lucent | FrozenFire: I mean "just" well it's a bit freakier to do the first times you try, so just take it slow and confirm everything against your notes | 05:06 |
| heatX | hey guys, i'm new to the OS and i as wondering if anyone could explain to me how to get gOS running on top of ubuntu. i installed using WUBI on windows | 05:06 |
| lucent | raylu: I'm surprised he wasn't root@121.217.105.160 | 05:06 |
| TurboBee | . | 05:06 |
| lucent | heatX: I wish I knew? | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | FrozenFire: if you choose to not format it... what's it going to overwrite? we alkting about a /home partition here. not a partition that contains /etc or /usr | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | talking* | 05:07 |
| earthling | FrozenFire: you can do as lucent says.. but my option is more fun :) | 05:07 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: it never worked. Anyways ill try later. | 05:07 |
| Photoguy | Which Epiphany do I want? there is Gecko, Wbekit, or just plain Epiphany. | 05:07 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: sorry to hear that | 05:07 |
| lucent | lol @ earthling | 05:07 |
| FrozenFire | onetinsoldier: I don't know, perhaps certain settings like .bash? | 05:07 |
| * integraldeviatio lolz | 05:07 | |
| mker | Photoguy, Epiphany-webkit isn't very usable IMO, at least not yet | 05:07 |
| \Kira | I know to restart the ssh dameon you type: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart. But, what if Im changing things in my ssh connection, not the server. I changed the keepalive value, and I want it to be used in the next sessions. How can I do this? | 05:07 |
| Photoguy | Oh? | 05:07 |
| Photoguy | mker: do you know of a lightweight browser? | 05:07 |
| TriBeCa99 | can anyone help me get my nforce LAN drivers up and running? | 05:08 |
| lucent | \Kira: it's complicated, there's a series of in-session commands, and I always forget what they're triggered by | 05:08 |
| raylu | FrozenFire: only the partition mounted at / must be formatted | 05:08 |
| raylu | FrozenFire: the others are optional | 05:08 |
| lucent | \Kira: I think? it's ~ | 05:08 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: Do you know how to set up compiz. I mean I know it comes default and I have my appearance, visual effect on extra. But how do I get cube and stuff working? Any clue? | 05:08 |
| mker | Photoguy, I'd go with epiphany-gecko until the one using webkit has matured. | 05:08 |
| raylu | Photoguy: links | 05:08 |
| lucent | \Kira: man ssh i think | 05:08 |
| TriBeCa99 | it's starting to feel like it'd be easier to tear down two of my boxes and switch to a board it'll pick up on install | 05:08 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: i used to; not any more | 05:08 |
| Photoguy | ok | 05:08 |
| earthling | lucent: sorry .. but i just hate when installation GUI's start doing more than they are supposed to do.. isnt instaling linux using a GUI bad enough :p | 05:08 |
| lucent | TriBeCa99: agree with you on that | 05:08 |
| Photoguy | raylu links? | 05:08 |
| raylu | \Kira: disconnect and reconnect? | 05:08 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: Ok, I wonder if theres a command to bring up a compiz manager or something that has settings or switches. | 05:08 |
| onetinsoldier | FrozenFire: oh.. it might, i'm not certain. you could always start off with a different user, then go in there and make a backup of the files, then create that old user again and start using him again | 05:08 |
| dennister | back...can someone please help me rescue this install? nothing is yet installed onto the mbr on sda2, and I do not want it installed onto the mbr of sda1, where winblows is installed | 05:08 |
| raylu | Photoguy: cli browser :D | 05:09 |
| FrozenFire | Well, thanks all. I'll try what was suggested. | 05:09 |
| \Kira | lucent: ? I think I worded my question wrong.... I changed my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file, and I want this change to happen in the next connection. As far as I know, restarting the ssh dameon restarts the server. | 05:09 |
| TriBeCa99 | lucent lol | 05:09 |
| vermont | I'm sorry I keep popping in and out. I keep getting this error: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 05:09 |
| vermont | E: Unable to lock the download directory. And I can't figure it out. | 05:09 |
| FrozenFire | I'll make a backup just in case ;) | 05:09 |
| lucent | earthling: I remember when installing linux with a bad GUI was enough | 05:09 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: there is a package with a gui manager | 05:09 |
| tiyowan | Photoguy: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Alternatives <- Contains a comprehensive list of software for your Ubuntu system that you might want to try out. | 05:09 |
| [T]ank | I can ssh from the inside network, but not from the outside. Any ideas? | 05:09 |
| raylu | \Kira: disconnect and reconnect? | 05:09 |
| lucent | \Kira: oh, ssh re-reads the config files | 05:09 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: Will I need it? I mean I thought the newest ubuntu comes packed with compiz. I have the bouncy chat boxes now. | 05:09 |
| raylu | vermont: you're not root. add sudo | 05:09 |
| \Kira | raylu: I think i worded by question wrong... I changed my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file, and I want this change to happen in the next connection. Would reconnecting do it? How could I check? | 05:09 |
| raylu | vermont: or, possibly, another package manager is running (pgrep -l dpkg | 05:09 |
| giacomo | is it possible to view the init output in any logfile? | 05:09 |
| lucent | \Kira: like we're confused because we find this pretty obvious, sorry I didn't know what to say | 05:09 |
| raylu | \Kira: ...for the 3rd time, yes | 05:10 |
| * FetusMuncherBBB jumps up | 05:10 | |
| jbmigel | [T]ank you have to configure your router to pass ssh to a specific machine | 05:10 |
| TriBeCa99 | lucent: problem is the board in the ubuntu rig won't OC as well as the one in my gaming rig :-/ | 05:10 |
| sfuentes | [T]ank: maybe ur gateway is block port 22 | 05:10 |
| \Kira | lucent, raylu: sorry, im rather new to servers.... Thanks, though | 05:10 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: again, no idea. i find the animations annoying :P | 05:10 |
| onetinsoldier | vermont: hello? | 05:10 |

| * raylu looks at FetusMuncherBBB | 05:10 | |
| vermont | raylu: oh, I was using the package manager. I typed that command and tried again and it didnt work | 05:10 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: Yeah but its something I wanna c since I come from vista :) | 05:10 |
| vermont | onetinsoldier, hello | 05:10 |
| [TiZ] | Hi. I have the infinite misfortune to be experiencing several problems all at once, and after having just solved other ones. First problem: The login sound is playing AFTER I log in. You know, the drum sound. Second problem: Sound is lagging in some applications, like DosBox and some Wine applications. Third: My /etc/resolv.conf only appears to update correctly when I connect to my university's wifi. If I connect at home, I have to edit my / | 05:11 |
| [TiZ] | etc/resolv.conf myself to get internet access. Can anyone help me with any of these? | 05:11 |
| raylu | vermont: if that command shows anything, you still have a package manager open | 05:11 |
| onetinsoldier | vermont: ok,nvm. i guess raylu got you | 05:11 |
| dennister | back...can someone please help me rescue this install? nothing is yet installed onto the mbr on sda2, and I do not want it installed onto the mbr of sda1, where winblows is installed | 05:11 |
| * FetusMuncherBBB gets excited and strips | 05:11 | |
| lucent | \Kira: no I just get jaded over time and forget that long time ago when I learned this all | 05:11 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: do you know what version of ubuntu I'm using I mean the name like fusion or what not | 05:11 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: system > preferences > ..something. appearance, i think, will have desktop effects | 05:11 |
| vermont | raylu, it doesn't show anything | 05:11 |
| \Kira | lucent: I see. | 05:11 |
| [TiZ] | Ubuntu Intrepid, by the way. | 05:11 |
| gizmo | i dont understand how to wget using terminal | 05:11 |
| raylu | vermont: are you using apt with sudo? | 05:11 |
| vermont | onetinsoldier, I appreciate any help I can get. | 05:11 |
| lucent | [TiZ]: first, your problems make me laugh, because they're so weird and I've had them at one time or another... | 05:12 |
| gizmo | can anyone help me how to wget using terminal..? | 05:12 |
| CntrySheepFahker | raylu: Yeah I done that part of it, and have the bouncy boxes but thats all I notice. not cube spinning 3d stuff | 05:12 |
| jbmigel | gizmo man you like type wget http://download/link/to/freebsd | 05:12 |

| raylu | [TiZ]: the login sound is supposed to play after you login. system > prefs > session | 05:12 |
| onetinsoldier | vermont: if problem persists after having a look like raylu suggested... try what the bot says | 05:12 |
| lucent | Out_Cold: eshattow@zontar:~$ cat /usr/share/dict/words | rl | head -n1 | 05:12 |

| lucent | there's your word | 05:12 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: ah. i think you have to install compiz 'n stuff. | 05:12 |
| Photoguy | What is a good IRC client? I don't like Xchat. Is Chatzilla also standalone? | 05:12 |
| [TiZ] | raylu: That's not the one I mean. I mean the quick little drum beat at the login screen. After I log in, I get the drum beat then the login sound. | 05:13 |
| dotblank | Hey that mode setting in xorg didnot work | 05:13 |
| onetinsoldier | Photoguy: irssi | 05:13 |
| lucent | Photoguy: irssi | 05:13 |
| tiyowan | CntrySheepFahker: Does Compiz Settings show up in your System -> Preferences? | 05:13 |
| onetinsoldier | lucent: :-) | 05:13 |
| Out_Cold | not quite the word i was looking for lucent | 05:13 |
| Out_Cold | lol | 05:13 |
| [TiZ] | lucent: That's funny. Linux sound is so convoluted, huh? It's weird that resolv.conf would break, though. | 05:13 |

| Photoguy | Ok. | 05:13 |
| raylu | [TiZ]: woah... | 05:14 |

| gizmo | ok.. | 05:14 |
| gizmo | sorry2 | 05:14 |
| tiyowan | CntrySheepFahker: You need to install Compiz then. | 05:14 |
| raylu | gizmo: ... in what way does that look like a valid url? | 05:14 |
| [TiZ] | lucent: It seems a lot of people are removing PulseAudio from Intrepid due to stuff like this. Would you recommend this course of action? | 05:14 |
| gizmo | wait | 05:14 |
| jbmigel | gizmo your link is totally messed up... double check it | 05:14 |

| CntrySheepFahker | tiyowan: someone told me compiz is already pre packed with newest ubuntu. | 05:14 |
| raylu | [TiZ]: yes, since you can always install it again :D | 05:15 |
| [TiZ] | lucent: And I use wicd, so I guess I should look to their site to find out about that. | 05:15 |
| gizmo | http://www.psybnc.at/download.html<--this is the link.. | 05:15 |
| lucent | [TiZ]: I don't have a problem with PulseAudio, it just needs some love | 05:15 |
| gizmo | but when i d/l..i never get anything | 05:15 |
| tiyowan | CntrySheepFahker: Ah, it is. Hmmm. But you need to install an additional package to be able to set the fancy cubes et al. At least I had to do. Wait one. | 05:15 |
| lucent | [TiZ]: wicd is probably why you're getting issues with resolv.conf | 05:15 |
| [TiZ] | PulseAudio was awesome in Hardy | 05:15 |
| vermont | raylu: I just did what the bot said...no dice. What I'm doing is going into Package manager marking nvidia-glx-177 and clicking apply | 05:15 |
| [TiZ] | It seems totally broken in Intrepid. What went wrong? | 05:15 |
| jbmigel | gizmo why are you trying to download an html page? dont you think you should enter the link of the .iso file you want/ | 05:16 |
| raylu | vermont: sounds like you used a mouse. | 05:16 |
| dennister | why am i being ignored here? I have been patient while others who come into channel after me get helped | 05:16 |
| mindrape | !patient | dennister | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about patient | 05:16 |
| mindrape | !patience | dennister | 05:16 |
| ubottu | dennister: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:16 |
| gizmo | i dont know where to fine it.. | 05:16 |
| raylu | dennister: there is no mbr on sda2...the mbr is on sda | 05:16 |
| Brack10 | onetinsoldier: Purge and reinstall then restarting X did not work. Now when I click FF it loads for a sec then quits. Sudo firefox still works fine | 05:16 |
| scunizi | dennister, doesn't sound like a rescue.. sounds like a modification .. if you allow it to install grub on sda1 then you can fix it with a windows cd and fixmbr.. but then you'll have to pull the cable off that drive, boot to a live cd and install grub on sdb1.. then the only way to toggle back and forth is changing the boot order of the drives in bios. | 05:16 |
| jbmigel | gizmo you want freebsd 7 then? for x86? | 05:17 |
| vermont | raylu...like a usb mouse? can I not do that? | 05:17 |
| CntrySheepFahker | tiyowan: well in update manager I did see something saying compiz, I installed it also, not sure what it was. | 05:17 |
| gizmo | jbmigel: nope i want psybnc... | 05:17 |
| raylu | Brack10: if it's not a per-user configuration issue, i'm guessing a permission somewhere went screwy | 05:17 |
| gizmo | cancel freebsd | 05:17 |
| raylu | vermont: haha, sorry. i meant you used the gui | 05:17 |
| CntrySheepFahker | tiyowan: do you know command to bring up compiz-manager? just to see if it comes up | 05:17 |
| raylu | vermont: sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177 | 05:17 |
| tiyowan | CntrySheepFahker: "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" form a terminal. Then you should be able to set stuff through System -> Pref. -> Compiz settings. | 05:17 |
| CntrySheepFahker | tiyowan: THanks | 05:17 |
| dennister | scunizi: that's exactly what I want to be able to do: toggle back and forth by changing boot order in bios | 05:18 |
| tiyowan | dennister: Um, what version of Windows are you using? | 05:18 |
| onetinsoldier | dennister: it's busy in here. plaeny of messages. just repeat your problem every few minutes and be patient. some people that could know how to help you might be too busy helping someone else and might not have even seen you problem yet | 05:18 |

| Brack10 | raylu: Is there some way to get my FF output so I can get a better idea of perhaps which permissions? | 05:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Brack10: as i said.. i have no idea, since removing the .mozzila dir doesn't do any good.. sorry | 05:18 |

| FloodBot2 | gizmo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:20 |
| scunizi | dennister, k.. I did that for a while.. you can "hide" the grub menu from others so they never see it and set it up so windows boots first .. if that helps. | 05:20 |
| gizmo | whats that mean | 05:20 |
| onetinsoldier | dennister: i hear you, lol | 05:20 |
| kevdog | going to check out irssi -- xchat in ms you have to pay after a trial period | 05:20 |
| fryguy | kevdog: no | 05:20 |
| mker | kevdog, there should be a free unofficial version too | 05:20 |
| vermont | raylu: oh, ha ha. see I'm retarded | 05:20 |
| jbmigel | gizmo you must have spelt it wrong | 05:21 |
| Brack10 | also when I get this firefox problem fixed...is there a decent widget engine for linux? Screenlets blow, ggl-gtk ruined my computer, gdesklets are useless.... I REALLY miss konfabulator | 05:21 |
| dennister | scunizi: actually, i want the boot order (in bios) to go to sda2, which will have grub with kubuntu the default, and winblows at the end of the choices | 05:21 |
| gizmo | jbmigel: i follow what u type | 05:21 |
| raylu | Brack10: no, but you can make a clock appear in your terminal, which is awesome | 05:21 |
| TriBeCa99 | ok let's try something simpler. how do i configure my ethernet adapter? | 05:21 |
| fryguy | dennister: why do you want your bios to do that instead of a bootloader? | 05:21 |
| tiyowan | dennister: Again, I need to ask why? | 05:21 |
| raylu | TriBeCa99: you said simpler | 05:22 |
| jbmigel | gizmo it works for me.... are you sure you followed it exactly | 05:22 |
| Brack10 | raylu: that is not awesome | 05:22 |
| Brack10 | :( | 05:22 |
| raylu | Brack10: :( | 05:22 |
| vermont | raylu, i had to insert my install disk...that's normal right? | 05:22 |
| TriBeCa99 | raylu: did you see my initial problem? | 05:22 |
| gizmo | jbmigel: yeah2 already done..so how to open the psybnc? | 05:22 |
| raylu | vermont: um... yes and no | 05:22 |
| raylu | vermont: i find that annoying, so i disabled the cd repository | 05:22 |
| raylu | TriBeCa99: raid? | 05:22 |
| fryguy | Brack10: check out conky i guess. I don't waste screen space with random widgets, so I don't know what to tell you | 05:22 |
| jbmigel | gizmo i dont know you're on your own | 05:22 |
| vermont | raylu: I need to restart for it to work? | 05:22 |
| TriBeCa99 | basically i'm not able to get online at all. i've been assuming it's because ubuntu hasn't recognized the onboard LAN | 05:22 |
| gizmo | jbmigel: i mean after download how to open it? | 05:22 |
| TriBeCa99 | but i'm wondering if it's just not configured properly | 05:23 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: ifconfig -a, is there any entries besides lo | 05:23 |
| Brack10 | fryguy: two words: widget layer | 05:23 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: DO you see it when you type "ifconfig"? | 05:23 |
| raylu | vermont: no, just logout and ctrl+alt+backspace | 05:23 |
| raylu | vermont: or, if you're impatient, close anything not important and ctrl+alt+bksp | 05:23 |
| TriBeCa99 | ifconfig shows eth0 | 05:23 |
| fryguy | Brack10: if i need information about my system, i query it | 05:23 |
| jbmigel | gizmo try this command: man tar | 05:23 |
| TriBeCa99 | fryguy and tiyowan | 05:23 |
| scunizi | dennister, so 1 drive but multiple partitions for ubuntu and windows.. but you don't want grub on the mbr.. sorry.. on the same drive you're stuck I think.. if you had a secondary drive it would be possible. | 05:23 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: and does eth0 have an IP address | 05:23 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: If shows the status as UP? Does it have an IP address? | 05:23 |
| Brack10 | fryguy: Can you query weather and stock information? | 05:23 |
| fryguy | Brack10: sure can | 05:23 |
| dennister | ok, to all those who keep asking why: this pc is for a linux newbie...i put all of the linux installation on 2nd big(ger) drive instead of in a 2nd partition on sda1...that way, mbr/ntloader on sda1 does NOT get changed | 05:23 |
| tiyowan | er, it. | 05:24 |
| CntrySheepFahker | tiyowan: THank man I got it working :D, CHeers | 05:24 |
| Dolo | anyone here have an ipod? | 05:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | 192.168.1.71 | 05:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | but my router is DHCP | 05:24 |
| vermont | raylu...one more thing...is that "error: unable to lock etc..." important? Should I do something about it? | 05:24 |
| dennister | scunizi: ^^^^ | 05:24 |
| onetinsoldier | jbmigel: i have used tar enough to come to grips with it..but man, i hate that man page, lol. | 05:24 |
| Brack10 | fryguy: I guess I'm just a visual person | 05:24 |
| raylu | vermont: um...yes... | 05:24 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: what happens if you type 'ping google.com' in a terminal | 05:24 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: Can you do this? ping yahoo.com? | 05:24 |
| raylu | vermont: did you still get that after closing synaptic? | 05:24 |
| raylu | host > ping | 05:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | nothing | 05:24 |
| jbmigel | onetinesoldier lol ya i was just trying to blow him off | 05:24 |
| onetinsoldier | jbmigel: i understand | 05:24 |
| mysticdarkhack | hey all | 05:24 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: Can you ping your router? | 05:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | tiyowan fryguy my router doesn't show it as connected | 05:25 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: ever read the manpage for mplayer? | 05:25 |
| TriBeCa99 | it's not in my DHCP client list ont he router | 05:25 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: i don't care about what your router shows, i care about the behavior on the ubuntu machine | 05:25 |
| vermont | not when I typed it into terminal, everything is installed now I believe. I'm just worried about using the package manager...because it didnt seem like anything else was open, when I tried it the first time. | 05:25 |
| gizmo | jbmigel: how to delete the file that we d/l in terminal? | 05:25 |
| vermont | raylu^ | 05:25 |
| raylu | vermont: right, the package manager locks the db when it's open | 05:25 |
| fryguy | gizmo: use the rm command | 05:25 |
| scunizi | dennister, k.. sda<number> is the first drive... sdb<number> is the second drive.. numbers represent the partitions on a particular drive.. you said kubuntu was on sda2.. that would be the first drive second partition. | 05:25 |
| mysticdarkhack | that may sound dumb, but what is the orange bar over the menu call since I'm trying to opacity it? | 05:25 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: Ignore what your router says for now. Do this, please. ping routerip | 05:25 |
| weternal | hey I'm trying to get Tor working in ubuntu 8.10, what packages do I need, and how should I set them up? | 05:25 |
| mindrape | fryguy - if his router doesnt see it then maybe he's on a different subnet or maybe he's connecting wirelessly to a neighbors AP on accident? | 05:25 |
| raylu | vermont: if you mean whether you should still worry about it, no | 05:25 |
| vermont | raylu: okay thank you! I really appreciate your help. | 05:25 |
| TriBeCa99 | fryguy: google.com is an unknown host, pinging the router shows it unreachable | 05:26 |
| raylu | vermont: that's ubuntu being safe and not allowing two package managers to mess around simultaneously | 05:26 |
| fryguy | mindrape: which is what i'm getting to by trying to have him ping something, i'm working backwards | 05:26 |
| dennister | scunizi: not 1 physical drive with multiple partitions...2 physical drives...yes, exactly, and nothing is yet on mbr of sda2 | 05:26 |
| lucent | weternal: this is documented on the tor website? | 05:26 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: years ago, i have used linux off and on for years. only started using it again about a month ago. but i was around and read the man page when MPlayer first came out | 05:26 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: and what happens if you ping 192.168.1.1 | 05:26 |
| kevdog | tribeca99 -- what exactly is the problem? | 05:26 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: yikes. | 05:26 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: He can't use the net. | 05:26 |
| Dolo | anyone know about ipod and m4b files like audio books | 05:26 |
| * lucent waits for 192.168.1.1 to punch someone in the face | 05:26 | |
| scunizi | dennister, sda2 and sda1 are the same drive .. just different partitions | 05:26 |
| TriBeCa99 | fryguy: unreachable | 05:26 |

| lucent | "shouldn't have pinged." | 05:27 |
| mxweas | I'm using Ubuntu inside of VMWare Fusion, so no modelines are written to xorg.conf, how do I set my default login screen resolution? | 05:27 |

| Photoguy | Is there a .deb for Racer? | 05:27 |

| Photoguy | Open source racing game. | 05:27 |
| lucent | mxweas: great question, don't know the answer myself | 05:27 |
| lucent | mxweas: it used to be configured in a GDM file | 05:27 |
| dennister | sorry 'bout causing the confusion | 05:27 |
| gizmo | how to exit the man tar | 05:27 |
| kevdog | Straight up ubuntu install or some vmware install | 05:27 |
| TriBeCa99 | 255.255.255.0 | 05:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Photoguy: i think there is..seems like i saw one somewhere recently | 05:27 |
| mxweas | /etc/X11/xorg.conf is all I can find :( | 05:27 |

| kevdog | exit man tar by typing :q | 05:28 |
| scunizi | dennister, and are you just installing now to the second drive? | 05:28 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: Can you ping 192.168.1.1? | 05:28 |
| fryguy | tiyowan: he can't | 05:28 |
| raylu | kevdog, gizmo: or just q | 05:28 |
| histo | kevdog, or ctrl+c | 05:28 |
| tiyowan | Hmm. | 05:28 |
| histo | kevdog, or q | 05:28 |
| kevdog | colon then q | 05:28 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: is 192.168.1.1 listed as a route in the route command? | 05:28 |
| TriBeCa99 | tiyowan: unreachable | 05:28 |
| raylu | or...just q | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Photoguy: xracer - Futuristic racing game | 05:28 |
| vermont | one last question for anybody: songbird or amarok? | 05:28 |
| kevdog | ok, just q then fine -- you got me | 05:28 |
| raylu | vermont: exaile | 05:28 |
| fryguy | vermont: neither, i use mpd | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Photoguy: is that it? | 05:28 |
| mxweas | is there a utility I can install to just change it? | 05:29 |
| raylu | kevdog: victory! | 05:29 |
| mindrape | vermont why dont you try them both... ? | 05:29 |
| scunizi | dennister, as in real time .. now? | 05:29 |
| dennister | scunizi: yes, all install onto sdb worked, until installing grub froze entire system...will have to unplug machine and don't want to do entire install over again when it's just installing grub onto mbr of sdb is required | 05:29 |
| fde | vermont: Amarok 2 | 05:29 |
| mxweas | cause I've messed with this config and it doesnt seem to like anything I do | 05:29 |
| Photoguy | no http://www.racer.nl/ | 05:29 |
| TriBeCa99 | fryguy: no | 05:29 |
| kevdog | I lose once again | 05:29 |
| gizmo | very hard to use terminal | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Photoguy: ok, roger | 05:29 |
| raylu | kevdog: now, about your first-born child | 05:29 |
| kevdog | you can have her -- that's fine with me - - I guess I win now ;) | 05:29 |
| vermont | ha ha, word, thanks everyone. I will try them both...and exaile, and mpd. I have some time. (raylu, fryguy, mindrape, fde) | 05:30 |

| justizin | hello, i just installed intrepid onto a core 2 duo e8400 with 4G of RAM, but only 2.9G is recognized, kvm/virt-manager throws an error when i try to create an x86_64 vm, and uname -a says i686.. any ideas what might be up? | 05:30 |
| kevdog | Wired connection having problems? | 05:30 |
| justizin | kernel's package says it is i386/x86_64 | 05:30 |
| scunizi | dennister, installing grub froze your system or did you cancel it? if the install is hosed at this point then yank the connector from sda (1st drive) and reinstall to the secondary drive making sure that grub is written as part of the process. Plug drive 1 back in and test booting from each drive. | 05:30 |
| raylu | weternal: -torrents | 05:30 |
| kevdog | Thats wierd -- | 05:31 |
| fryguy | justizin: if you are using x86, you can only address a certain amount of ram, if you are getting an error trying to use x64, that's probably an issue with your virtualization mechanism | 05:31 |
| kevdog | lshw -C network -- is appropriate driver loaded | 05:31 |
| TriBeCa99 | fryguy: i got 1 line response, showing a list i have no idea how to read. is that running? | 05:31 |
| fryguy | kevdog: of course it is, he has an eth0 interface | 05:31 |
| TriBeCa99 | kevdog: wired | 05:31 |

| lucent | weternal: it's on the tor website, I find it google for "tor anonymous" | 05:32 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: Is the light switched on your network card at the back of the computer? | 05:32 |
| kevdog | sudo dhclient eth0 | 05:32 |
| kevdog | How hard can that be? | 05:32 |
| fryguy | kevdog: don't run it if it's already running | 05:32 |
| fryguy | kevdog: which is what i'm in the middle of checking now | 05:32 |
| dennister | scunizi: yes, installing grub froze system...can't even budge the kvm it's connected to...unpluged kvm and light won't even go off! lol | 05:32 |
| justizin | fryguy: core 2 duo is a 64-bit cpu, my bios reports it as emt64 capable, what do i have to do to get it to address all of the ram? | 05:32 |
| kevdog | sudo dhclient -r eth0 | 05:32 |
| kevdog | sudo ifconfig eth0 down, sudo ifconfig eth0 up, sudo dhclient eth0 | 05:33 |
| scunizi | dennister, kvm might have done it.. when reinstalling go direct and no kvm.. | 05:33 |

| dotblank | Here is my http://pastebin.com/m18744420 yet it defaults back to 1024x768 on monitor1 | 05:33 |
| fryguy | justizin: you are using virtualization, which means you aren't using your processor, you are using virtualization. it's depending on your virtualization software | 05:33 |
| dennister | although i'm sure that when i unplug offending, frozen system, kvm will allow me to access second system it's connected to | 05:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | nice, wow it works | 05:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | that's brilliant | 05:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | so umm | 05:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | the cable had slipped out | 05:33 |

| dennister | sorry, but I was hoping to rescue the almost-finished install so I wouldn't have to do it all over again | 05:34 |
| kevdog | I guess next time I'll make sure that the computer is plugged in or has batteries | 05:34 |
| gizmo | how i want to set profile in one terminal? | 05:34 |
| TriBeCa99 | errr. yeah sorry about that | 05:34 |
| scunizi | dennister, some kvm's cause issues with ubuntu.. other's will hopefully give some input here. I'm not much up on kvm.. Whole install? maybe the best option.. 30-40 minutes tops. . not like windows.. | 05:34 |
| TriBeCa99 | before i switch it over to being a server i'll have to replace that LAN cable | 05:35 |

| dennister | scunizi: i've never had this issue with kvm...installed dozens of systems already with it, and it's never taken 30-40 minutes | 05:36 |
| fryguy | justizin: no idea | 05:36 |
| dennister | but i'll take your word for it | 05:36 |
| Jordan_U | badfish69, Shockwave is only available via wine | 05:36 |
| badfish69 | crap | 05:36 |
| scunizi | dennister, you mean installing ubuntu doesn't take 30-40 minutes? maybe a little exageration.. probably with the updates. | 05:37 |
| tiyowan | badfish69: Shockwave plugin right? | 05:37 |
| lucent | raylu: come on, "is it plugged in?" what do I look like, the kind of person who - oops it's not plugged in! I swear it was a ghost that unplugged it, I've been ROBBED | 05:37 |

| kevdog | e17 users here? | 05:37 |

| gizmo | i dont see any menu in terminal | 05:38 |

| tiyowan | badfish69: Yep. It's there in intrepid. | 05:38 |
| justizin | fryguy: well, did you respond to my last comment about core 2 duo being a 64-bit cpu? that should mean it runs as x86_64 and 64-bit or no, emt64 should mean addressing more RAM | 05:38 |
| onetinsoldier | kevdog: no, but ireally like enlightenment. perhaps i should try e17 | 05:38 |
| Guest7411_955 | hi | 05:38 |
| tiyowan | gizmo: Right-click the terminal and select Show menu bar. | 05:38 |
| gizmo | then? | 05:38 |
| justizin | i'm just trying to figure out why this system is running in 32-bit mode. i fished around for bios options as much as possible.. | 05:38 |
| fryguy | justizin: you are running via virtualization, which means your compatibility is dependant on the virutalization software you are using | 05:38 |
| kevdog | How do you really like enlightenment if you haven't tried it? | 05:39 |
| gizmo | my change menu is invisble.. | 05:39 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: whats the difference of e17 and enlightenment? | 05:39 |
| justizin | fryguy: forget virtualization, the system i installed on the hard drive is 32-bit.. | 05:39 |
| tiyowan | gizmo: Then click on Edit -> Profile Preferences. | 05:39 |
| justizin | on a 64-bit cpu.. | 05:39 |
| fryguy | justizin: so then it'32 bit.. what do you expect it to do? | 05:39 |
| justizin | that's what i'm trying to solve, at the core.. | 05:39 |
| kevdog | e17 latest version of enlightenment | 05:39 |
| justizin | i want to know why my 64-bit cpu is not running as x86_64! | 05:39 |
| justizin | lol | 05:39 |
| onetinsoldier | kevdog: e17 is a newer version? right..? i was an e15 and e16 user.. so i have been a user of enlightenment before | 05:39 |
| justizin | why is that a ridiculous question? | 05:39 |
| tiyowan | justizin: Pardon me for asking this, but any reason why you didn't just install the 64 bit version? | 05:40 |
| fryguy | justizin: because you didn't install x86_64, you installed x86... | 05:40 |
| justizin | tiyowan: there is only one version, the package says it is i386/x86_64 | 05:40 |
| kevdog | oh -- I just started with e17 -- I guess that would mean there were 16 prior versions | 05:40 |
| justizin | i have no option to install x86_64.. please examine your ubuntu intrepid systems and tell me what package i can install.. | 05:40 |
| eseven73 | enlightenment is pretty nice but i just dont like the epplets widgets | 05:40 |
| justizin | if i am overlooking something, i will give you christmas beer :) | 05:40 |
| fryguy | justizin: package? you are talking about a base install. please clarify exactly what you are doing/seeing | 05:40 |
| * raylu wants screenshots of enlightenment | 05:40 | |

| raylu | nevermind | 05:41 |
| tiyowan | justizin: Ok, maybe I'm confused. You're referring to 32-bit Ubuntu installation right? | 05:41 |
| justizin | you assume i'm talking about a base install.. the linux-iimage-* packages say they are 32/64-bit | 05:41 |
| raylu | the little banner-sized images are screenies | 05:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Eterm rockzzz! | 05:41 |
| gizmo | my new profile is disable.. | 05:41 |
| scunizi | justizin, you're overlooking there are two iso's.. one 32 bit and one 64 bit | 05:41 |
| tiyowan | Oh dear. | 05:41 |
| fde | justizin: its amd64 not x86_64 with Ubuntu (and Debian) naming | 05:41 |
| kevdog | Its lightweight if you like that | 05:41 |
| fryguy | justizin: paste output of uname -a | 05:41 |
| tiyowan | !64 | 05:41 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 05:41 |
| justizin | fde: that's certainly odd, and it's not what the packages say.. | 05:41 |
| lucent | is it uname -a time? | 05:41 |
| justizin | you should talk to linux-image-* maintainer | 05:42 |
| justizin | if x86_64 shouldn't be used ;) | 05:42 |
| eseven73 | bah now you guys making me want to log into enlightenment, LOL thanks a lot :P im on xubuntu right now, Xfce ftw | 05:42 |
| fryguy | fde: your base system install is either x86 or x86_64. Whatever system you've installed you can't change it without doing a full reinstall. Some/most packages work the same on both architectures | 05:42 |
| tiyowan | JustinRyan: Buddy, go to the Ubuntu website and check the iso files. There's one for 32 bit. And one for 64 bit. Get the 64 bit one and reinstall. | 05:42 |
| kevdog | Just install e17 from script (svn) -- takes maybe like 10-15 minutes to compile -- reboot -- there you go! | 05:42 |
| gizmo | how to open my new profile? | 05:42 |
| eseven73 | so many window managers, so little time to play wit them all :) | 05:43 |
| lucent | uh, profile? | 05:43 |
| tiyowan | gizmo: Right click on terminal, Profiles -> <yourprofile> | 05:43 |
| lucent | gizmo: what profile? | 05:43 |
| onetinsoldier | eseven73: lol.. i like all the nice and pretty window managers. including xfce4 and kde, icewm is ok by me too | 05:43 |
| fde | fryguy: depends how you define "full reinstall"... you can switch arch via debootstrap... I wasn't the one with the question though, either way | 05:43 |
| gizmo | terminal | 05:43 |
| gizmo | my new profile : iam@gizmo.com | 05:43 |
| kevdog | I want to play with more managers -- need a next victim | 05:43 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: eh, window decorations are a waste of screen space | 05:43 |
| fryguy | kevdog: just use xmonad | 05:44 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: i think i tried icewm last night but couldnt figure out how to start anything, there were no menus/icons at all | 05:44 |
| kevdog | xmonad? never heard of that one | 05:44 |
| === arosenfeld is now known as arosenfeld_ | ||
| gizmo | ok2 | 05:44 |
| gizmo | i got it already | 05:44 |
| gizmo | heheh sorry maybe im to lazy.. | 05:44 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: eye-candy is good candy :-P | 05:44 |
| gizmo | :p | 05:44 |
| tiyowan | Off-topic, but how's enlightenment? | 05:44 |
| lucent | kevdog: openbox, ratpoison, kwm, compiz-fusion, metacity | 05:44 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: i disagree | 05:44 |
| eseven73 | tiyowan: its nice, but im a noob with it so i cant really say much more than that | 05:45 |
| === arosenfeld_ is now known as arosenfeld | ||
| onetinsoldier | eseven73: whaa? it has a panel/start menu at the bottom | 05:45 |
| lucent | kevdog: you can tweak metacity a bit | 05:45 |
| spree | I am trying to print, USB HP psc 1210, and when I try to print a test page it fails, I do the diagnose problem dialog and it says "The printer's temporary state message is: 'Cannot create temporary file' | 05:45 |
| kevdog | compiz-fusion??? | 05:45 |
| spree | this sounds like a permissions issue but i don't know where to look | 05:45 |
| === arosenfeld is now known as arosenfeld_ | ||
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: i understand. but we have to agree to disagree here. ;-) | 05:45 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: ok maybe it was another wm than ice let me check one sec | 05:45 |
| raylu | kevdog: fluxbox? | 05:45 |
| fryguy | metacity is a terrible window manager :/ | 05:45 |
| lucent | kevdog: I change the layout of my window title bar icons such that minimize is the left most (like windowmaker) | 05:45 |
| tiyowan | eseven73: Thanks. I wanted to install KDE, but I heard that KDE 3 isn't supported on Ubuntu, and people find v4 a bit counter-intuitive. | 05:45 |
| kevdog | seems like my old piece of junk test computer runs about 100 times faster with e17 than metacity | 05:45 |
| === arosenfeld_ is now known as arosenfeld | ||
| aperson | what would be the easiest (built in?) way to monitor the up/down speed of eth0 in a terminal? | 05:46 |
| scunizi | tiyowan, vs4 looks good. and not bad navigating it. | 05:46 |
| tiyowan | aperson: System Monitor? | 05:46 |
| eseven73 | tiyowan: yeah, i like KDE but its a bit too heavy for me, im kinda a minimalistic type | 05:46 |
| lucent | spree: IMO I would scour google and look to see who else has your troubles, and then use their solution | 05:46 |
| onetinsoldier | aperson: install iptraf is one | 05:46 |
| tiyowan | eseven73: Same here. | 05:46 |
| raylu | eseven73: exactly. window managers are for noobies | 05:46 |
| raylu | eseven73: just use X | 05:47 |
| lucent | spree: it's common for printing issues to get solved and documented on google-accessible forums | 05:47 |
| tiyowan | scunizi: Thanks for the tip. | 05:47 |
| kevdog | aperson: Ive used conky but must be terminal app | 05:47 |
| spree | lucent, that's not really helping, I have looked at google, about 20 pages so far. | 05:47 |
| === nintendork32 is now known as nintendork87 | ||
| lucent | spree: hmph... which driver is it using? | 05:47 |
| aperson | kevdog: I'll look into that, thanks | 05:47 |
| spree | lucent, Gee, I don't know, how do I find out? | 05:47 |
| aperson | or err | 05:47 |
| aperson | I mean onetinsoldier | 05:47 |
| tiyowan | aperson: Go to System -> Administration -> System Monitor, and click on the Network History tab. | 05:47 |
| kevdog | Just use X ----> crazy -- old unix days -- hated those | 05:47 |
| lucent | spree: i.e. LaserJet 1020 uses like pclmono or something | 05:47 |
| * aperson needs to be able to do this over ssh | 05:48 | |
| lucent | spree: linuxprinting.org | 05:48 |
| jordo2323 | rdpress | 05:48 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: it wasnt icewm it was dwm, i cant figure out how to start any apps with dwm, no menu/icons nothing :/ | 05:48 |
| tiyowan | aperson: But if you want comprehensive system monitoring, I'd recommend conky. Highly customizable. :) | 05:48 |
| spree | lucent, Pretend I have no idea how to answer your question. Because I don't. | 05:48 |
| onetinsoldier | aperson: yeah.. iptraf.. it used ncurses(terminal app) | 05:48 |
| onetinsoldier | uses* | 05:48 |
| lucent | spree: can you guess what linuxprinting.org is? | 05:48 |
| lucent | spree: go there ;P | 05:48 |
| fryguy | eseven73: there is a keybinding to run a command called menu. Take a look at config.h to see settings. also take a look at the documentation on suckless | 05:48 |
| raylu | lucent: not a pokemon? | 05:48 |
| fryguy | eseven73: or just run a better tiling wm, like xmonad | 05:48 |
| lucent | raylu: NOT A POKemon... oh. sorry | 05:48 |
| === nintendork87 is now known as nintendork32 | ||
| hitman1985 | hi at all, what could be my issue, i downloaded desktop ppc image from 8.10 intrepid ibex and i m trying to boot it on a ibook g4 but no boot success whatever i try :( anyone got an idea ? | 05:49 |
| eseven73 | fryguy: ok ty | 05:49 |
| fryguy | eseven73: also, alt-shift-enter should spawn a terminal | 05:49 |
| kevdog | how does a tiling window manager look different than stacking manager? | 05:49 |
| fryguy | kevdog: windows don't stack by default, and they are automatically laid out for you to maximize screen space | 05:49 |
| eseven73 | i dont care for tiling wm's though | 05:49 |
| kevdog | What if you have like 10 windows open? | 05:49 |
| fryguy | kevdog: so then you have 10 windows open, what's the problem? | 05:50 |
| spree | lucent, Tell you what, you are being extraordinarily unhelpful. Do you know why it's saying it can't create the temporary file? Do you know where the temporary files are placed? I bet it's a permissions issue. | 05:50 |
| raylu | fryguy: the obvious? they are smalle? | 05:50 |
| tiyowan | Put 'em in different workspaces. | 05:50 |
| raylu | *small | 05:50 |
| kevdog | 10 windows layed out all in one screen? | 05:50 |
| darcy | can you install eclipse without gcj ? i've got sun-java already but `apt-get install eclipse | 05:50 |
| fryguy | raylu: so then switch to a different layout algorithm, group them with tags, or group them on workspaces | 05:50 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: Put 'em in different workspaces. | 05:50 |
| darcy | sorry.. `apt-get install eclipse' adds like 40 new gcj packages | 05:50 |
| fryguy | raylu: you run into the same issues having 10 windows open at once on a floating wm, it's just easier to manage in a tiling wm | 05:50 |
| spree | lucent, or if you're going to refer me to top level websites please do me a favor and place me on ignore because I really don't need all of that from you. Thanks. | 05:50 |
| kevdog | You guys actually use different workspaces? | 05:51 |
| tiyowan | spree: What seems to be the problem? | 05:51 |
| lucent | spree: keep going, I'm listening | 05:51 |
| fryguy | kevdog: of course | 05:51 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: I shudder when I boot into Windows. Workspaces are a godsend. | 05:51 |
| aperson | iptraf works well | 05:51 |
| spree | lucent, I asked you a direct question. Do you know where the temporary files are created? (yes/no) | 05:51 |
| kevdog | I keep forgetting whats on different workspaces | 05:51 |
| hcMyth | Why does ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso have amd in the name? I'm looking for ubuntu to work on a intel core 2 quad... what's up with that? Thanks. | 05:51 |
| aperson | thanks all who answered | 05:51 |
| lucent | spree: 42. | 05:52 |
| fryguy | using a tiling wm is a lot like switching from windows to linux, you have to take a bit of time to learn/understand the differences and change your workflow a bit, and it leads to things being a lot easier | 05:52 |
| spree | lucent you are now on my ignore list. | 05:52 |
| fryguy | hcMyth: amd64 is the term ubuntu uses for the 64-bit instruction set on top of x86 (because they came out with it first). it's what you want if you want x86_64 for your intel | 05:52 |
| tiyowan | hcMyth: The 64-bit architecture was pioneered most successfully by AMD. :-) | 05:52 |
| spree | I am trying to print, USB HP psc 1210, and when I try to print a test page it fails, I do the diagnose problem dialog and it says "The printer's temporary state message is: 'Cannot create temporary file' | 05:52 |
| hcMyth | thanks! :D | 05:53 |
| tiyowan | hcMyth: Unlike Intel's Itanium project, which was laughable. | 05:53 |
| raylu | fryguy: so what wm do you recommend/use? | 05:53 |
| JHalstead | Does 8.10 have enough on the live CD to read a windows ntfs partition? I need to copy files from a dying windows system for a friend tomorrow and I don't have windows so I don't know what exactly I'll need. any information on this would be greatly appreciated. | 05:53 |
| lucent | that was awesome. guy doesn't want my help :P | 05:53 |
| fryguy | raylu: i use xmonad | 05:53 |
| kevdog | Best part about workspaces was switching between them with the Compiz cube when I used to use that -- got old quick however | 05:53 |
| hitman1985 | hi at all, what could be my issue, i downloaded desktop ppc image from 8.10 intrepid ibex and i m trying to boot it on a ibook g4 but no boot success whatever i try :( anyone got an idea ? | 05:53 |
| anand | anand | 05:53 |
| scunizi | spree, have you checked hp's site for the right driver reference? they might even have a link to the correct linux driver. | 05:53 |
| lucent | kevdog: I'm a big fan of middle-mouse-wheel scroll on desktop activating the desktop switch ;) | 05:53 |
| eseven73 | kevdog: yeah thats the only time i ever used mulitple workspaces | 05:53 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | Hey guys, I ran an update about a week ago and lost my internet connection before finishing, so it installed some of the updates but not all of them. I then continued to use the computer for a while, left, and when I came back the screen was black, moved the mouse around and typed a bit thinking it had went to sleep, odd purple stuff showed up at the top of the screen and it was unresponsive. I tried terminating the X s | 05:53 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: ouch :/ | 05:53 |
| tiyowan | spree: Okay. I'm assuming this printer works with a windows box right? | 05:53 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | Now it will not start up and grub is throwing an error | 05:54 |
| spree | scunizi, That doesn't seem to be the problem, it seems to be a permissions issue | 05:54 |
| hitman1985 | JHalstead, yes it does it will show it as hdd size... media | 05:54 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | Any clue how I go about recovering things? | 05:54 |
| anand | dudes... i'm new here! | 05:54 |
| chilli0 | hi all | 05:54 |
| Arrowhead212002 | so has anyone ever had the issue of the screen saver causing the computer to freeze | 05:54 |
| spree | it's got the right driver, it recognized it immediately and it's the exact model | 05:54 |
| Brian88 | hi, I am running a Wubi installation of 8.04, can I use the 8.10 Cd to upgrade ? | 05:54 |
| onetinsoldier | mib_975o21: soundslike a dying hard drive or some other hardware issue | 05:54 |
| anand | desperately seeking your help | 05:54 |
| chilli0 | im having internet issues | 05:54 |
| chilli0 | im using wireless atm | 05:54 |
| fryguy | Arrowhead212002: i have on a machine that has a poor graphics card | 05:54 |
| TriBeCa99 | ok so now i'm having trouble creating a RAID10 array with mdadm. pretty sure it's not an unplugged cable this time | 05:54 |
| chilli0 | but when i try for lan it doesnt work | 05:54 |
| fryguy | anand: nobody can help you until you ask a question | 05:54 |
| tiyowan | TriBeCa99: :D | 05:55 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: your data is probably okay if hardware is okay | 05:55 |
| anand | i have recently switched from windows to ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 05:55 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: question is, is your hardware okay? | 05:55 |
| spree | tiyowan, yes, it works with a windows box, yes it's the right driver. Where are the temporary files stored? I'll bet the directory has the wrong permissions | 05:55 |
| chilli0 | and i can get into the router but not out of the router | 05:55 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | My "files" are backed up but I have tons of programs that I custom compiled or had to make changes to the config files etc. that are not backed up, and I really don't want to have to repeat all that work | 05:55 |
| hitman1985 | is there a seperate channel for ppc support ? | 05:55 |
| anand | and i've fallen in love with this... | 05:55 |
| chilli0 | any on know what the problem? | 05:55 |
| Arrowhead212002 | well that does reminnd me now that i have yet to install the drivers for my video card | 05:55 |
| hitman1985 | cuz noone seems to have a clue of the prob....? | 05:55 |
| kevdog | plug in the network cable | 05:55 |
| raylu | XD | 05:55 |
| fryguy | chilli0: does /etc/resolv.conf have anything in it? | 05:55 |
| TriBeCa99 | i'm running: mdadm /dev/md1 -C --raid-devices=4 --level=10 missing /dev/sdc1 missing /dev/sdd1 | 05:55 |
| joljam | i am having problems with connecting a usb phone | 05:55 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | lucent: I can only assume so, no errors from my bios, no drive noises etc | 05:55 |
| kevdog | resolv.conf just controls your dns server addresses | 05:56 |
| fryguy | TriBeCa99: don't think you can use mdadm to find 2 missing disks | 05:56 |
| anand | however, there's only one application that doesn't run here.. once that happens, I can just delete windows for good and start using ubuntu full time | 05:56 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: good, no spoon and fork noises??? | 05:56 |
| * lucent shivers | 05:56 | |
| JHalstead | hitman1985: thanks that's what I was thinking/hoping now I get to sleep easy tonight knowing tomorrow I get to rescue a friend from windows, LOL Perhaps I can install 8.10 and she'll be happy using it, we will see. | 05:56 |
| tiyowan | spree: Lemme search the forums for you. I don't know about the temp. files. Normally stored in /tmp and /var/spool I think, but better to check first. | 05:56 |
| joljam | the device is not being identified | 05:56 |
| fryguy | kevdog: that it does, and he can't connect to things on the internet, which leads me to believe it might be the problem | 05:56 |
| TriBeCa99 | fryguy: i'm trying to create a degraded array | 05:56 |
| anand | i am told that it'll run through wine but that's not happening | 05:56 |
| TriBeCa99 | it says in the man page to use the word missing in place of the device | 05:56 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | lucent: nope, just the normal whir of the fans | 05:56 |
| TriBeCa99 | and i was advised to do that earlier as well | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | yes fryguy | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | it has | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | # Generated by NetworkManager | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | domain BigPond | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | search BigPond | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | nameserver 10.0.0.254 | 05:56 |
| FloodBot3 | chilli0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:56 |
| kevdog | You could test that theory by just connecting to an ip address | 05:56 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: I suggest booting a LiveCD and um.. shoot I don't know, making a copy of your home directory | 05:56 |
| fryguy | anand: feel free to ask a question at any time... | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | my bad | 05:57 |
| chilli0 | i didnt mean to flood | 05:57 |
| hitman1985 | JHalstead, just go easy and run it for the first backup steps of live boot no install, to ensure that all your files are available... | 05:57 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: in theory if your home directory is on its own partition you can simply install again and mount it as home, no format | 05:57 |
| fryguy | chilli0: no idea about configuring bigpond | 05:57 |
| chilli0 | its not even big pond | 05:57 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: otherwise you'll want to shuffle that data somewhere else | 05:57 |
| kevdog | How can I flood? | 05:57 |
| kevdog | :) | 05:57 |
| apathadeus | you pour a bucket of water over your computer | 05:57 |
| spree | tiyowan, Well this is interesting, when I cd to /var/spool/cups it says permission denied when i try to do a ls -la as my normal user | 05:57 |
| joljam | someone please help me | 05:57 |
| anand | fryguy: i need to run an exe file from ubuntu using wine.... | 05:58 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | lucent: thats the thing, the stuff I really need is scattered in /etc /sbin /bin etc my home dir is backed up | 05:58 |
| raylu | mib_nqw1e3: also, fsck | 05:58 |
| spree | joljam, ask the question, and ask the channel. | 05:58 |
| fryguy | anand: so then do that | 05:58 |
| joljam | how can i detect my usb drive | 05:58 |
| lucent | chilli0: flood is network IRC setting, excessive 6 lines of text quickly... don't do more than 3 in a row and you're okay | 05:58 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: oh. you're one of THOSE people huh :P | 05:58 |
| anand | when i right click on the exe file and say open using other application and choose wine, nothing happens | 05:58 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | I want my programs not my "files" | 05:58 |
| lucent | mib_nqw1e3: privmsg me I will share my wisdom | 05:58 |
| raylu | anand: run it in a terminal | 05:58 |
| kevdog | can I try that technique? | 05:58 |
| joljam | I have connected my usb phone and its not being detected at all | 05:58 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | thanks :) | 05:58 |
| tiyowan | spree: No luck on the forums. Hmmm.... | 05:59 |
| anand | ok, i've opened the terminal | 05:59 |
| mahfouz | had problems like this as wel | 05:59 |
| spree | lucent, FYI, I didn't really /ignore you but since I told you I did, I have seen you systematically troll one after another person in here as you were trying to on me. | 05:59 |
| CntrySheepFahker | Does anyone know what the super key refers to in compiz? | 05:59 |
| anand | what do i type? | 05:59 |
| joljam | i just installed inrepid today | 05:59 |
| lucent | "USB PHONE" two things I never thought to hear in a commercial product | 05:59 |
| CntrySheepFahker | I can't figure out which key it is | 05:59 |
| JHalstead | hitman1985: oh of course. I'll make sure all data is properly backed up before jumping to far. At this point data recovery and back up is the main priority. Converting another windows system will just be icing on the cake if possible. | 05:59 |
| fryguy | anand: change to the directory that has the program that you want to run, and type "wine <nameofprogram>" | 05:59 |
| spree | lucent, why don't you find somewhere else to harass people | 05:59 |
| joljam | its a magic jack and I used to use it with ubuntu LTS | 05:59 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: winkey, usually | 05:59 |
| lucent | spree: who are you talking to? | 05:59 |
| joljam | with ekiga | 06:00 |
| raylu | CntrySheepFahker: xmodmap --help (-pk, i think) may help | 06:00 |
| spree | lucent, I am speaking to you, troll. | 06:00 |
| CntrySheepFahker | Raylu: let me try winkey | 06:00 |
| fryguy | CntrySheepFahker: it's the windows key | 06:00 |
| fryguy | CntrySheepFahker: xmodmap will list all active modifiers | 06:00 |
| darkfuzion | wazzzup | 06:00 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: howdy | 06:00 |
| anand | dude.. i've installed ubuntu only yesterday.. am a total novice.. i'd really appreciate if you told me the commands to go to the directory | 06:00 |
| mahfouz | flame wars and the forum is already pretty loaded | 06:00 |
| mahfouz | hmm | 06:00 |
| kevdog | anand | 06:00 |
| hitman1985 | JHalstead, yeah, i convinced about 10 ppl to give it a shot so far with 8.04 still and i m updating all the systems as i visit my firends :) | 06:00 |
| fryguy | anand: first of all, what program are you trying to run with wine | 06:00 |

| ubottu | anand: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 06:01 |
| spree | tiyowan, i'll give that a shot | 06:01 |
| fryguy | anand: and where is it located on your computer | 06:01 |
| lucent | spree: off topic any? :) good luck on your printing issue. | 06:01 |

| mib_nqw1e3 | n2diy: At least I don't remember ever having to set it up | 06:02 |
| Jordan_U | anand, If you want, you can also type "cd " then drag the directory into the terminal and it's path will be entered, then hit enter | 06:02 |

| fryguy | anand: now run that installer with wine | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | anand, Just so you don't have false expectations, wine can't run all windows programs, and some that it can run require additional configuration steps ( which you can usually find at the appdb page for that program ) | 06:04 |
| spree | joljam, i wouldn't be expecting anything useful from lucent | 06:04 |
| anand | fryguy: ok | 06:04 |
| kevdog | anand: What are you trying to run -- not everything will work | 06:04 |
| fryguy | kevdog: we know this, you already said it, and he already said what he's trying to run | 06:04 |
| raylu | wartalker: then perhaps its set in /etc/emacs or similar. you could try installing consolas... | 06:04 |
| anand | jordan_U & kevdog: well dudes, i'll try my luck | 06:05 |
| raylu | wartalker: there may also be a console option to set the font | 06:05 |

| raylu | wartalker: but i'm in #emacs territory now :P | 06:05 |
| kevdog | Just my personal opinion -- wine stinks -- just my opinion | 06:05 |

| Slart | \\`oot: apt-get policy? | 06:05 |
| \\`oot | uhmm... yea | 06:05 |
| lucent | joljam: I haven't thought about it, actually, it should be covered under snd-usb-audio kernel module and if it's not, there's either a problem where it's not supported, there's a malfunctioning USB hub, or ehci-hcd is interfering (try sudo rmmod ehci-hcd) to remove usb2.0 support | 06:05 |
| \\`oot | heh | 06:05 |
| anand | kevdog, jordan_U, fryguy: it's opened... let's see it install | 06:05 |

| Slart | \\`oot: I have no idea.. doesn't make sense to me... but the output is nice =) | 06:07 |
| raylu | Acedip: that depends on the command. usually, no | 06:07 |
| \\`oot | Slart: Yes, thanks again | 06:08 |
| fryguy | Acedip: no, if it's still running 'w' might give you information about it that you can deduce a start_time | 06:08 |
| \\`oot | w00t to you sir | 06:08 |
| Slart | Acedip: I think sudo commands might be logged somewhere.. no sure though | 06:08 |
| ScottG | hey im really new to ubuntu and im just trying to get my driver for my graphics card working. I went to "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers" and then tried to activate it but it doesnt seem to do anything | 06:08 |
| anand | fryguy: I see it has installed on my desktop but nothing | 06:08 |
| raylu | Slart: policies control when to update what packages and how to resolve certain kinds of dependencies | 06:08 |
| tiyowan | ScottG: Did you restart your system after clicking Activate? | 06:09 |
| raylu | tiyowan: only X | 06:09 |
| ScottG | A window pops up saying "Downloading and installing drivers" but then it just goes away after half a second | 06:09 |
| raylu | Slart: (i think) | 06:09 |
| anand | fryguy: now should i try it through the terminal? | 06:09 |
| fryguy | anand: i guess | 06:09 |
| Slart | raylu: ah.. that does make a little sense.. apt!.. you're forgiven.. =) | 06:09 |
| ScottG | tiyowan: doesnt seem like it did anything in the first place | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | Acedip, If you ran the command yourself you may be able to get an estimate by looking at how far back it is in your history relative to other commands you ran | 06:09 |
| \\`oot | this must be a bug... when I mount a samba share it puts a shortcut on my desktop - but after a while if I try to double-click it, I get this error "there is no application installed for this file type" | 06:09 |
| tiyowan | ScottG: What video card do you have? | 06:10 |
| n2diy | anand, yes, the terminal is more reliable than a GUI | 06:10 |
| \\`oot | how do you remove mount-points from your desktop? | 06:10 |
| arktvrvs | is there anyway to speed up the console, for example if i mistype something it sits there and searches through packages..? | 06:10 |

| fryguy | arktvrvs: hit ctrl-c to cancel the current running command | 06:10 |
| anand | n2diy: what's the exact command? | 06:10 |
| tiyowan | raylu: Go to know. | 06:10 |
| tiyowan | raylu: er, good to know. | 06:10 |
| ScottG | tiyowan: 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 | 06:10 |
| arktvrvs | i know how to break | 06:10 |

| arktvrvs | i think i should be able to disable that functionality though, as i find it quite annoying | 06:11 |
| fryguy | arktvrvs: disable what functionality | 06:11 |
| onetinsoldier | Acedip: i saw a utility for that the other day, called rootsh | 06:11 |
| arktvrvs | when i mistype a command it sits there and searches through packages to suggest one for me to install to have the command available | 06:11 |
| Jordan_U | arktvrvs, Yes, you can disable command not found magic, let me look at how though | 06:12 |
| tiyowan | ScottG: You could try running "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and checking whether you see flgxr somewhere. | 06:12 |
| ScottG | tiyowan: just restarted with no luck | 06:12 |
| tiyowan | ScottG: That means you're using the ATI drivers. | 06:12 |
| anand | HOW DO I SEARCH FOR A PROGRAMME IN THE TREMINAL? | 06:12 |
| n2diy | Anand, open a terminal, and enter your commands there. | 06:12 |
| giacomo | hello! | 06:12 |
| arktvrvs | if i type 'doobie' for example, it sits there for 5 seconds hunting for the command, not only in $PATH but in the apt-cache | 06:12 |
| fryguy | anand: apt-cache search programname | 06:12 |
| tiyowan | !caps | anand | 06:12 |
| ubottu | anand: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:12 |

| ubottu | It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. Those darned ewoks on the other hand... | 06:12 |
| wt | Is there a way to do the equivalent of "apt-cache search <word1> <word2>" with aptitude's search functionality? | 06:12 |
| kevdog | sudo apt-cache search <package-name> | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | arktvrvs, You can just remove the package "command-not-found" | 06:13 |

| anand | onetinsoldier: this is so cool, mate. thanks! | 06:14 |
| raylu | kevdog: there's no need for it to have root permissions | 06:14 |
| onetinsoldier | anand: you're welcome :-) | 06:14 |
| fryguy | kevdog: lol. you should take some time to review linux system architecture before just going ahead and claiming bs with nothing to support your opinion | 06:14 |
| kevdog | raylu: I can buy that argument | 06:15 |
| tiyowan | Running stuff willy-nilly as root is decidedly bad. | 06:15 |
| Slart | arktvrvs: there is a package for the application that does all that searching.. you could try removing that | 06:15 |

| darkfuzion | ahhh lol | 06:16 |
| darkfuzion | good thing for partitions right lol | 06:16 |
| anand | onetinesoldier: 'cause I can't make head nor tail of what I'm seeing | 06:16 |
| kevdog | fryguy: been using linux a long time -- this don't do sudo crap running rampant in the ubuntu forums -- agree with it in that you can trash your system really easy -- however if you have used linux/unix for a while -- security risk is overblown | 06:16 |
| ScottG | well w/e i g2g | 06:16 |
| tiyowan | ScottG: Okay, a rather stupid question. But you *are* connected to the net when you go to System -> Admin. -> Hardware Drivers right? | 06:16 |

| onetinsoldier | anand: i don't really know that i'm interested in seeing it. but oh, ok | 06:16 |

| darkfuzion | installing wine to test out | 06:16 |
| fryguy | kevdog: yes, and the vast majority of ubuntu users don't understand that, and just run everything as sudo when something doesn't work | 06:16 |
| fryguy | kevdog: ubuntu users aren't typical advanced users | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | darkfuzion, Any programs that rely on libraries working a certain way that wine hasn't implemented or hasn't implemented to work exactly the same way yet will not work | 06:17 |
| kevdog | fryguy: Agreed! | 06:17 |
| virgo1143 | you got that right fryguy | 06:17 |
| fryguy | kevdog: so then your position on the situation is wrong based on the demographic we are dealing with | 06:17 |
| lucent | anand: there's less than 50 commands that most daily *nix users learn... everyone learns a DIFFERENT set of commands though, and yet we all do the same thing | 06:17 |
| kevdog | Thats why I like them -- and don't like them | 06:17 |
| lucent | :) | 06:17 |
| n2diy | tiyowan, run willy nilly as root, lose your Win partition? Oh well. | 06:17 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: The very fact that you've been using linux for a long time makes you understand. Most people would end up doing something stupid as root. | 06:17 |

| Jordan_U | anand, It's probably a bad idea to give random people on the internet access to your computer :) | 06:23 |
| dongs | ^ how do i get a non-fail version of vim | 06:23 |
| dongs | syth syntax highlighting | 06:23 |
| kevdog | fryguy: port 22 will be open -- need to port forward through router -- confident no firewall was activated in this case | 06:23 |
| raylu | clearzen: nvidia-xconfig | 06:23 |
| fryguy | dongs: apt-get install vim | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | dongs, install "vim-full" | 06:23 |
| JulioNeto | raylu, On Win it is working pretty well. (that's the first time that something just works in win) | 06:23 |
| lucent | dongs: look for "ctags" and fim-full | 06:23 |
| * lucent vails | 06:23 | |
| tiyowan | anand: Jordan_U <- Good advice. :) | 06:23 |
| clearzen | Terralthra: tryed it. The logs look normal too. I'm stumped | 06:23 |
| lucent | dongs: vim-vull | 06:23 |
| dongs | Jordan_U: uh, yes, without installing 180megs of gnome libs. | 06:23 |
| lucent | argh. I'm done trying | 06:24 |
| fryguy | kevdog: by firewall i meant anything on the network, including the fake firewall created by NAT on a router | 06:24 |
| raylu | clearzen: you mean nvidia-xconfig? | 06:24 |
| anand | jordan_U: can I send that file across? | 06:24 |
| fryguy | kevdog: do you really find it necessary to make useless corrections to everything that I say? | 06:24 |
| JulioNeto | any idea guys? | 06:24 |
| kevdog | fryguy: uhhh maybe? | 06:24 |
| dongs | hello? | 06:24 |
| dongs | vim-full = no, it installs 180megs of gnome junk | 06:24 |
| lucent | dongs: and... | 06:25 |
| dongs | ... | 06:25 |
| fryguy | dongs: maybe vim-nox will meet your needs | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | anand, If there is nothing confidential about it ( and it's legal to send ) sure | 06:25 |
| Arrowhead212002 | i really hate that if i install inside of windows ther biggest selection i get is 30g | 06:25 |
| raylu | dongs: the "vim" package alone might be enough | 06:25 |
| JulioNeto | hummm | 06:25 |
| fryguy | dongs: i have no idea what you mean by non-fail, you should try to be more descriptive | 06:25 |
| dongs | vim has no syntax highlight | 06:25 |
| clearzen | Terralthra: yeah, it tells me when I reload X my settings are not properly detected and I am not using the nvidia driver but when I check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old it all looks normal no errors | 06:25 |
| anand | jordan_U: nothing illegal about it | 06:25 |
| kevdog | fryguy: dealing with noobs here -- need lots of clarifications | 06:25 |
| lucent | fryguy: !fail looks too close to fail! | 06:25 |
| dongs | i instaled vim-runtime as suggested and that didnt work either | 06:25 |
| dongs | vim-nox is also no-go | 06:26 |
| dongs | i dont need tcl or libruby | 06:26 |
| dongs | i dont use either. | 06:26 |
| spree | lucent, that's really valuable information. maybe you should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:26 |
| onetinsoldier | dongs: install vim-tiny | 06:26 |
| dongs | does that have syntax highlighting. | 06:26 |
| fryguy | dongs: if ubuntu doesn't supply vim packaged with a set of configure-opts the way you want, your best bet would be to go to vim.org and compile it yourself with the exact set of configure opts that you want, since you seem to have a very specific list of what you want | 06:27 |
| onetinsoldier | dongs: oh..i don't know... hang on | 06:27 |
| chilli0 | hello all, i need help getting my LAN working propelry | 06:27 |

| Terralthra | this gnome-keyring-manager bug is so annoying | 06:27 |
| dongs | i dont see how having that requires 180megs of gnome libs. | 06:27 |
| kevdog | chilli0: what do you need? | 06:27 |
| Terralthra | and it's been around for 4 months | 06:27 |
| fryguy | dongs: pretty sure vim-nox provides that | 06:27 |
| Terralthra | such an easy bug to fix | 06:27 |

| dongs | fryguy: it also provides tcl and ruby | 06:28 |
| dongs | neither of which I need | 06:28 |
| lucent | dongs: your needs are a little outside of the "norm" | 06:28 |
| n2diy | mib_975o21, thanks, I'll check it out | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | dongs, You can compile from source | 06:28 |
| kevdog | #ubuntu-offtopic = OMGPP? | 06:28 |
| fryguy | dongs: so then if you don't want tcl and ruby, go to vim.org and compile vim to have the exact set of options that you want | 06:28 |
| * lucent seconds Jordan_U's suggestion | 06:28 | |
| dongs | i was doing that in 1998 | 06:28 |
| error404notfound | I am trying to remove openqrm-server on ubuntu hardy server, and I get http://pastebin.com/m37f60b88 , any idea how can I remove it? | 06:28 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: well help? when the computer is connected to the lan it doesnt work, the internet | 06:28 |
| mib_nqw1e3 | n2diy: someone already made the pbasic syntax file and said where to out it | 06:28 |
| dongs | i was hoping by 2008 tehy would figure out how to do that shit without wasting my time. | 06:28 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: but wireless doe | 06:28 |
| bazhang | dongs watch the language | 06:28 |
| dongs | when i install a text editor in windows | 06:28 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Are you trying to use both at same time? | 06:28 |
| dongs | it doesnt install 200megs of unrelated junk | 06:28 |
| dongs | to do syntax highlighting | 06:29 |
| fryguy | dongs: there's a few dozen configure options, ubuntu isn't going to provides hundreds of different binary packages so that you can get the exact vim that you want. it provides a few common configurations. if you don't like this common configurations, compile it yourself. | 06:29 |
| clearzen | dongs: just a backdoor for the nsa | 06:29 |
| raylu | dongs: instead, you get junk | 06:29 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: no, When i just have lan in it doesnt work | 06:29 |
| lucent | dongs: storage is cheap, quit wasting our time you know? I don't walk into a bank and complain that I'm not legally allowed to take other people's money... | 06:29 |
| n2diy | mib_975o21, I have the .xml flie for it, which works in Kate, but now I'm trying to get it to work in gedit. | 06:29 |
| dongs | lucent: uh what. | 06:29 |
| dongs | lucent: NICE COMPARISON THERE. | 06:29 |
| lucent | dongs: vim-full, it does at least what you want | 06:29 |

| raylu | dongs: it's called an analogy | 06:29 |
| lucent | but it does at least what you're looking for | 06:29 |
| dongs | lucent: yes i know what it does. it also installs 180megs of GUI/X11/GNOME libs. | 06:29 |
| raylu | lucent: i don't either; i steal it | 06:29 |
| lucent | ha @ raylu | 06:30 |
| lucent | :) | 06:30 |
| chilli0 | yes levene | 06:30 |
| Terralthra | so lucent | 06:30 |
| kevdog | chilli0: so you get an ip address? | 06:30 |
| chilli0 | yes kevdog | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | dongs, If you want a distribution that allows you to install just what you need and nothing more then try gentoo, binary distributions can't be all things to all people | 06:30 |
| fryguy | dongs: you've been told what to do, twice. just go and do it | 06:30 |
| chilli0 | yes i do | 06:30 |
| Terralthra | any idea why this gnome-keyring-manager bug has sat unfixed for 4+ months? | 06:30 |
| ushimitsudoki | dongs: you can get syntax highlighting in nano. or are you after it in vim only? | 06:30 |
| kevdog | chilli0: so its either a route or dns problems | 06:30 |
| fryguy | Terralthra: there are thousands of bugs in the system, and not thousands of developers who have knowledge to fix each bug. | 06:30 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: i think it may be a DNS | 06:30 |
| Terralthra | this is a metapackage dependence error | 06:30 |
| clearzen | Terralthra: translation, no one cares enough to fix it | 06:30 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Does the light on your NIC at the back of the computer switch on btw? | 06:31 |
| stdin | dongs: if you just want syntax highlighting, just use nano | 06:31 |
| Terralthra | It's cake to fix | 06:31 |
| lucent | Terralthra: I really don't know, I might joke about chuck norris and the time continuum, but really which bug? | 06:31 |
| chilli0 | Yes it does tiyowan | 06:31 |
| kevdog | chilli0: to prove this can you ping a ip address and get a response? | 06:31 |
| chilli0 | to do that | 06:31 |
| vermont | in 8.04 I was found a way to open and save .docx in Open Office. Does anyone know if I can do it in 8.10 | 06:31 |
| bazhang | lucent please take chat elsewhere | 06:31 |
| fryguy | Terralthra: if you are sure it's easy to fix, that would imply that you know how to fix it. In which case you should contribute your fix | 06:31 |
| Terralthra | the one about gnome-desktop-environment depending on gnome-keyring-manager, which no longer exists | 06:31 |

| dongs | stdin: nano is trash | 06:31 |
| chilli0 | so brb give me about 1mins | 06:31 |
| stdin | dongs: cheaper than vim | 06:31 |
| kevdog | whats different between vi and vim? | 06:31 |
| n2diy | fryguy, your wrong, there are millions of developers working on linux. | 06:32 |
| clearzen | dongs: why is nano trash? do you do a lot of coding in a CLI text editor? | 06:32 |
| fryguy | kevdog: a lot | 06:32 |
| Terralthra | fryguy - I'm pretty sure I don't have access to the apt-get repository's dependence tree | 06:32 |
| fryguy | n2diy: that is true, and there are thousands working on ubuntu, just like i said | 06:32 |
| Terralthra | also, shouldn't vim v. vi. pico v. nano be in offtopic? | 06:32 |
| * tiyowan sighs. | 06:32 | |

| kevdog | That cleared it up for me | 06:32 |
| n2diy | fryguy, Ok, I think we fight for the same side. | 06:33 |
| fryguy | kevdog: there's a list on vim.org | 06:33 |
| * ElijahDuBarryVT is back (gone 09:26:03) | 06:33 | |
| Terralthra | fryguy - exact step necessary: UNDELETE GNOME-KEYRING-MANAGER PACKAGE FROM 8.04 REPOSITORY | 06:33 |
| Terralthra | done | 06:33 |
| chilli0 | back | 06:33 |
| kevdog | is vim more preferrable? | 06:33 |
| fryguy | kevdog: yes | 06:33 |
| vermont | Does anyone know if there's a way to open/save .docx files in 8.10? | 06:33 |
| kevdog | I'm dating myself, since I remember when there was no vim -- only vi or emacs | 06:34 |
| Terralthra | I mean, there are fancier solutions, like make a metapackage which depends on either seahorse or the old keyring-manager, and have gnome-desktop-environment depend on that | 06:34 |
| Terralthra | for example | 06:34 |
| n2diy | vermont, sure Open Office should do that. | 06:34 |
| chilli0 | rm | 06:34 |
| fryguy | kevdog: that was only about 17 years ago | 06:34 |
| Terralthra | but that seems like much more work | 06:34 |
| chilli0 | back | 06:34 |
| kevdog | Dont keep up with the time | 06:34 |
| tiyowan | vermont: The newest version of OpenOffice opens them by default. | 06:34 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: here is the PB http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95997/ | 06:34 |
| Terralthra | than "don't delete packages without updating (rather important!) things which depend on them" | 06:34 |
| clearzen | kevdog: vim is like 15 or 20 years old isn't it? | 06:35 |
| vermont | tiyowan, I can't seem to find a way to save a .docx file though. I guess it's really not a big issue, I was just wondering because I could do it in Hardy. | 06:35 |
| fryguy | clearzen: like i just said, it's about 17 years old | 06:35 |
| kevdog | Unix is older | 06:35 |
| clearzen | fryguy: oh missed that, sorry. I always understood it is a unix program | 06:35 |
| JulioNeto | somebody told to delete the rule of my USB 3G modem in '/etc/udev/rules.d' ... but he didn't tell what rule is it! Ôô How can I find it out? | 06:35 |
| raylu | kevdog: have you heard about this fancy thing called gedit? | 06:35 |
| n2diy | vermont, would manually adding .doc to the file work? | 06:35 |
| arktvrvs | gvim! | 06:35 |
| tiyowan | vermont: No idea, mate. My company's still on an old version of MS Office. | 06:36 |
| fryguy | ^^ is terrible | 06:36 |
| kevdog | raylu: Despise that program -- but do use it occassionally :) | 06:36 |
| arktvrvs | hehe | 06:36 |
| raylu | kevdog: lol | 06:36 |
| vermont | n2diy, I'm sorry. I don't need .doc support. .docx is for word 2007. | 06:36 |
| kevdog | I think I know about 5 commands using vi/vim. Thank god that command keys are the same between the two programs | 06:36 |
| tiyowan | emacs - Almost an OS itself. The only thing it doesn't do is boot. | 06:36 |
| vermont | tiyowan, ok thanks. | 06:36 |

| bazhang | please take text editor remininicences to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:37 |
| n2diy | vermont, ok so .docx? | 06:37 |
| clearzen | kevdog: the major advantage to vim is almost all non windows systems have it built in so it is cross platform | 06:37 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Can you ping by specific ip address? | 06:37 |
| fryguy | clearzen: that isn't true | 06:37 |
| kevdog | clearzen: Wouldn't that be vi rather than vim? | 06:37 |
| \Kira | A file ive never seen before just poped up on my computer. Is there a way I can find information about this file and were it came from and when? | 06:37 |
| clearzen | fryguy: ok in my experience | 06:37 |
| tiyowan | chili0: Can you ping your router? As in ping 192.168.1.1? | 06:38 |
| dongs | \Kira: OMG IS IT A GARBAGE FILE?? | 06:38 |
| fryguy | clearzen: your experience is that a vi-like program has always been available | 06:38 |
| vermont | n2diy, i'm not sure I will try. thanks for the suggestion. | 06:38 |
| dongs | are they TRASHING YOUR RIGHTS?? | 06:38 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Do you have nslookup installed? | 06:38 |
| n2diy | vermont, gl | 06:38 |
| clearzen | fryguy: true | 06:38 |
| \Kira | dongs: lol, no.... Its called "elite.htm" and its filled with random stuff. Almost looks like a program | 06:38 |
| chilli0 | nop | 06:38 |
| \Kira | dongs: lol, nevermind. I figured out what it is :P | 06:39 |
| trojatra | dongs, thank you for that. | 06:39 |
| lucent | shoot, I missed out. \Kira ? :O | 06:39 |
| ganymede | does anyone know what happens with sshfs if the host goes down or the network connection dies? can it still be unmounted? | 06:39 |
| dongs | elite.htm sounds elite | 06:39 |
| kevdog | Ok ping google like ping 72.14.205.100 | 06:39 |
| fryguy | ganymede: yes | 06:39 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: no | 06:39 |
| chilli0 | i mean ok | 06:39 |
| lucent | ganymede: under "normal" conditions, yes | 06:40 |
| kevdog | chilli0: A response? | 06:40 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: i think its ubuntu, like some settings | 06:40 |
| \Kira | dongs, lucent: I turned it execuntable and then removed the .htm part. Turns out its a picture I downloaded a while ago :P | 06:40 |
| kevdog | chilli0: What? | 06:40 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: same error as befor | 06:40 |
| ganymede | fryguy, thanks, and i assume sshfs is really stable right? very low chance of data loss, okay to use as a permanent mount in a production environment? | 06:40 |
| chilli0 | i think its the settings in ubuntu kevdog | 06:40 |
| fryguy | ganymede: probably not | 06:40 |
| \Kira | dongs, lucent: for some reason firefox added a .htm extension.... | 06:40 |
| lucent | \Kira: oh, happens all the time :P what does "file elite.htm" have to say about its content? | 06:40 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Can you ping router or any other computer on the lan? | 06:40 |
| ddalton | hey what r my chances of getting ubuntu on a 2 gb disk? | 06:41 |
| chilli0 | yes | 06:41 |
| fryguy | ddalton: 0 | 06:41 |
| kevdog | Ok, then it may be a routing problem | 06:41 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: i think its ubuntu settings | 06:41 |
| kevdog | chilli0: What does /etc/route look like | 06:41 |
| clearzen | ddalton: use slackware lol | 06:41 |
| \Kira | lucent: its like this matrix thing, my first assumption was that some stupid immature kid hacked me and wanted to brag, but that didnt seem right | 06:41 |
| ddalton | ok | 06:41 |
| lucent | ddalton: Ubuntu Server might fit, I don't suggest a *nix system on less than 6gb disk for normal use | 06:41 |
| kevdog | sudo su me | 06:41 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Type route and pastebin results, please. | 06:41 |
| ganymede | fryguy, have you experienced data loss with sshfs? | 06:41 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: because this all started when i pluged in the wireless and took it out | 06:41 |
| fryguy | ganymede: yes | 06:42 |
| clearzen | ddalton: just kidding. if you want X you need more space | 06:42 |
| PeterFA | What's the iptables save command? | 06:42 |
| ddalton | and is it possible to just tell the install prog to install to a usb (will this allow me to boot ubuntu from my usb where ever I go?) | 06:42 |
| lucent | ddalton: anyways you can get a smaller distro for graphical use but it won't be Ubuntu | 06:42 |
| fryguy | ganymede: NFS is a much better solution for filesystem sharing | 06:42 |
| raylu | lucent: wubi has the option of installing on 4 | 06:42 |
| kevdog | chilli0: take down the wireless then | 06:42 |
| lucent | raylu: interesting point, I guess if you already have Windows | 06:42 |

| n2diy | ddalton, only if the computers you try to boot from support booting from ISB | 06:43 |
| clearzen | fryguy: ok, just personal preference I guess | 06:43 |
| lucent | raylu: mind if I privmsg you for a minute? something on my mind I want to share that's IRC and #ubuntu related | 06:43 |
| ddalton | ok, cool thanks. | 06:43 |
| ganymede | fryguy, i also want to password protect the mount. i cannot do shares per-host because i am on a dynamic IP, it will change so i don't know how to tell the server who should be able to see the share and who shouldn't | 06:43 |

| fryguy | clearzen: if you want to encrypt nfs traffic, you can | 06:43 |
| clearzen | fryguy: with what gpg? | 06:44 |

| chilli0 | kevdog: thats with the wireless in | 06:44 |
| chilli0 | do u want me to take it out? | 06:45 |
| fryguy | clearzen: NFS has been around for decades, and is written into the kernel. sshfs is a random utility FS that runs in userland and has only been around for a couple of years. Which do YOU think is better to use :/ | 06:45 |

| dongs | i got a better question for you | 06:45 |
| kevdog | chilli0: What is the address of your router 192.168.254.254 or 192.168.1.1? | 06:45 |
| dongs | why do opensores faggots have this weird/strange urge to hide shit? | 06:45 |
| raylu | fryguy: sshfs takes 2 seconds to set up, nfs takes a lifetime :P | 06:45 |
| dongs | i mean.. encrypted home directory... secure filesystems.. encryption this and that | 06:45 |
| ganymede | fryguy, when checking whether a user should be able to access the file, it checks user ID# or string? because someone else on the network might have the same uid as me, or by coincidence, the same username | 06:45 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: With wire only. | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | 192.168.254.254 | 06:46 |
| error404notfound | onetinsoldier: can please pm me anything that you find, I gotta leave seat for sometime... | 06:46 |
| onetinsoldier | error404notfound: looks like you've lost all the 'prerm' scripts for thos packages | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan ill take it out in a min | 06:46 |
| fryguy | raylu: vim /etc/exports; exportfs -a; mount on the remote machine; done | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: my router is r 192.168.254.254 | 06:46 |
| fryguy | raylu: it's not that hard :/ | 06:46 |
| clearzen | fryguy: well, I am not running a professional production network so my needs are different. Also, new is not always the lesser option | 06:46 |
| raylu | ganymede: there is a way to sync uids | 06:46 |
| raylu | fryguy: syncing uids :P | 06:46 |
| kevdog | chilli0: on with wire in as someone stated above | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | ok | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | so when im on wire what do i do? | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | ping 192.168.254.254 | 06:46 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: ping 182.168.254.254 from a terminal | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | why 182? | 06:47 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: er, 192. | 06:47 |
| chilli0 | k | 06:47 |
| clearzen | fryguy: but that is why there are options. For different needs | 06:47 |
| chilli0 | brb | 06:47 |
| fryguy | raylu: NIS/kerberos are solutions for that | 06:47 |
| raylu | fryguy: which you then have to set up :D | 06:47 |
| fryguy | clearzen: the original question asker was working in a large production environment | 06:47 |
| kkkyle | anyone want to help a beginner? | 06:47 |
| raylu | fryguy: sshfs, on the other hand, is quicker :D. not that i'm saying it's better... | 06:47 |
| fryguy | raylu: those should be parts of any enterprise production infrastructure | 06:47 |
| fryguy | raylu: you are taking my recommendation out of context | 06:47 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Take down the wireless interface with something like a sudo ifconfig wlan0 down, bring up wired interface: sudo ifconfig eth0 up, Ask for dhcp lease: sudo dhclient eth0, then ping away | 06:47 |
| raylu | !hi | fryguy | 06:48 |
| ubottu | fryguy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:48 |
| fryguy | raylu: the person asking was asking about production environments | 06:48 |
| raylu | oh. didn't know :P | 06:48 |
| n2diy | anybody familiar with adding syntac highlighting to gedit? | 06:48 |
| kevdog | n2diy: no | 06:48 |
| clearzen | fryguy: you are right NFS is better for a business environment I believe | 06:48 |
| n2diy | kevdog, thanks | 06:48 |
| fryguy | clearzen: it's also faster | 06:48 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96000/ | 06:48 |
| clearzen | fryguy: yes it is | 06:48 |
| chilli0 | it worked | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | n2diy, I think it's there by default, just edit the "profile" ( settings ) | 06:49 |
| kevdog | chilli0: try pinging google or something | 06:49 |
| anand | jordan_U: the file is a stock trading application | 06:49 |
| onetinsoldier | error404notfound: i don't know for certain if this would work, but i recommend that you try... apt-get install --resintall <all_those_packages> ...then try your dpkg -r command again | 06:49 |
| anand | jordan_U: you can't download it | 06:49 |
| overrider | what is the better name for a general it company, say there are just those two: packetfox or lemontek ? thanks for a tip | 06:49 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Go back to wire and ping google.com | 06:49 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: i did that b4 | 06:49 |
| kevdog | Loved notepad++ for syntax highlighting -- that was a good windows program -- does worth with wine -- but I hate wine! | 06:49 |
| n2diy | Jordan_U, Yes it is, but I want to add to the list/,options | 06:50 |

| lucent | NFS better than what, for business environment? | 06:50 |
| fryguy | lucent: sshfs | 06:50 |
| chilli0 | k brb gonna do it again | 06:50 |
| clearzen | lucent: sshfs | 06:51 |
| lucent | oh thanks, sorry I missed the context | 06:51 |
| kevdog | chilli0: ping by ip address! | 06:51 |
| lucent | NFS is pretty scary to deploy in a business environment, IMO | 06:51 |
| anand | fryguy: can you help me? can i send the file across to you? | 06:51 |
| clearzen | lucent: you can use tunneling | 06:51 |
| fryguy | anand: what file | 06:52 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: | 06:52 |
| chilli0 | you there? | 06:52 |

| kaimerra | I just started getting this error when booting my generic kernel, kernel panic-not syncing VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0), but my RT doesn't get it, can? | 06:52 |
| kaimerra | *can anyone tell me why its one and not the other? | 06:53 |
| fryguy | anand: why would you send that to me | 06:53 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Ok can you ping by ip address? | 06:53 |
| lucent | kaimerra: ooh, could be that you need to re-run update-initramfs | 06:53 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Go back to wire and do this: ping 209.85.171.100 | 06:53 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: no still doesnt work | 06:53 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Make sure the wireless interface is down!!! | 06:53 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: i take out the wireless every time | 06:54 |
| kaimerra | I did just try reinstalling initramfs, and it updated the generic kernel, but not the RT. same result. | 06:54 |
| anand | fryguy: so that you can check it out and tell me if it works on ubuntu.. 'cause i'm told that not all files work here and i'm brand new to ubuntu.. and if that file works, i'll be able to use this OS full time and will never have to go back to windows again ... ever | 06:54 |
| chilli0 | brb gonna ping 209.85.171.100 | 06:54 |
| fryguy | anand: i'm not going to install your random software on my machine | 06:54 |
| fryguy | anand: and i don't have an ubuntu system around anyway | 06:54 |
| kaimerra | lucent: does the fact that I use LILO play into this? | 06:54 |
| lucent | kaimerra: lilo, for why? | 06:54 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Im not sure what that means -- taking out the card is not taking or destroying the interface you have to use ifconfig up/down commands | 06:55 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: I don't think he's bringing the wireless interface down. | 06:55 |
| lucent | GRUB is the de-facto bootloader for Ubuntu these days | 06:55 |
| mn | I need some help with compiz fusion. I can't get it to display a cube for the desktop. It will only show a sheet with a desktop on either side. Why is this and how can i fix it? | 06:55 |
| clearzen | mn: install ccsm | 06:55 |
| kaimerra | lucent: there is a bug with my laptop and grub that doesn't detect the optical drive | 06:55 |
| kevdog | chilli0: When you have your wired interface setup like you think it should be, can you post the results of ifconfig | 06:55 |
| lucent | kaimerra: oh bugger that | 06:55 |
| anand | fryguy: dude, it's authentic software... you can trust me, man. although i don't see why you can but your help will be appreciateed | 06:55 |

| chilli0 | kevdog: here is the ping http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96002/ | 06:56 |
| fryguy | anand: like i just said i don't have an ubuntu machine around | 06:56 |
| clearzen | mn: yes, you can enable it there | 06:56 |
| lucent | kaimerra: I'm stuck, it's been too long since I last used lilo, ... | 06:56 |
| lucent | sorry mate | 06:56 |
| lucent | I meant LILO... RIP lilo | 06:56 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: my wireless is a little USB netgear one | 06:56 |
| anand | well.. can anybody take a look at my file.. i genuinely need help here... | 06:56 |
| mn | clearzen: I have that | 06:56 |
| kevdog | chilli0: That ping worked -- not sure what address that is -- but the wired is working!!! | 06:56 |
| chilli0 | yepo | 06:56 |
| anand | this is the only file, that's keeping me from using ubuntu full time... | 06:56 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: That's google's address. | 06:56 |
| chilli0 | yeh | 06:57 |
| kevdog | Try to open firefox and then type http://ipaddress | 06:57 |

| chilli0 | o | 06:57 |
| kevdog | http://209.85.171.100 | 06:57 |
| chilli0 | whgat? | 06:57 |
| tiyowan | chill0: Go back to wire and do http://209.85.171.100 in firefox. | 06:57 |
| chilli0 | ok | 06:57 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: not experienced with that kind of device, hm | 06:58 |
| clearzen | *sigh* here goes a reinstall........updating never goes well for me | 06:58 |
| wartalker | how to use find to find file as .xxxx | 06:58 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: Banged up DNS maybe? | 06:58 |
| fryguy | wartalker: find <path> -name *.xxxx | 06:58 |
| kevdog | tiyowan: dns for sure :0 | 06:58 |
| fryguy | wartalker: read the manpage for find | 06:58 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: does 'ifconfig -a' list an additional device? | 06:58 |
| kevdog | tiyowan: Id try opendns servers since something is funky with his right now | 06:59 |
| JulioNeto | lucent, hummm | 06:59 |
| n2diy | Wartalkeer, locate? | 06:59 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: it went to google | 06:59 |
| kevdog | chilli0: So everything is working with your wired except the dns translation | 06:59 |
| wartalker | fryguy: i mean find -type c -print , can that print the .xxx file | 07:00 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: I'm only guessing though, I've never had access to one of those USB cell modems, I'd think it was either a ppp device or some kind of serial device | 07:00 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: But it doesn't make sense. How come he's able to access sites through DNS using wireless and not wired? | 07:00 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: im guessing so | 07:00 |
| JulioNeto | lucent, hum... may be you can help me... | 07:00 |
| JulioNeto | look | 07:00 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: remember to use pastebin.com ;) | 07:00 |
| JulioNeto | lucent, hurum | 07:00 |
| n2diy | tiyowan, the wire doesn't know where to find the DNS server? | 07:01 |
| lucent | 23:35 <spree> The removal of you from ##ubuntu was a great patch | 07:01 |
| dayz-ivxx | woot i'm noob sorry.. is ubuntu 8.10 i686 or x86_64 or neither >.< | 07:01 |
| lucent | whoops, paste buffer | 07:01 |
| fryguy | dayz-ivxx: there is an installer available for both | 07:01 |
| tiyowan | n2diy: You mean incorrect DNS settings for ethernet on the router, right? | 07:01 |
| dayz-ivxx | sweet ty :) | 07:01 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: Have you any clue how to fix a fubar dns? | 07:01 |
| onats1 | what VNC should i install on my ubuntu in order for me to remote to my pc? | 07:01 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=543659 | 07:02 |
| n2diy | tiyowan, could be, or no settings at all? | 07:02 |
| Terralthra | sigh | 07:02 |
| Terralthra | so irritating | 07:02 |
| chilli0 | ok kevdog | 07:02 |
| Terralthra | I wish I could just use 8.10 | 07:02 |
| fryguy | onats1: i'd recommend just using ssh to do remote connections, but if you really want to use the vnc protocol, check out vinagre | 07:02 |
| lucent | onats1: I like using vinagre viewer on Ubuntu systems, depends... are you trying to view a windows box from Ubuntu, or Ubuntu from another system | 07:02 |
| Terralthra | but I can't | 07:02 |
| cplab2-11 | can i know how to mount logical drives from one os to other | 07:02 |
| fryguy | cplab2-11: use the mount command, see it's manpage | 07:02 |
| Terralthra | because Ubuntu decided that moving to a new X which obsoleted older nvidia cards was a great idea | 07:02 |
| * Terralthra sighs | 07:03 | |
| kevdog | chilli0: post your /etc/resolv.conf file | 07:03 |
| tiyowan | n2diy: Agreed. | 07:03 |
| onats1 | lucent,fryguy, i'm going to view it from a windows box | 07:03 |
| CarlFK | how can I tell what package I installed that had exim4 as a dep? | 07:03 |
| fryguy | onats1: like i said, i recommend using ssh to do remote connections | 07:03 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Do you have access to your router? Go to http://192.168.254.254 from ff and post a screenshot of your DNS settings for ethernet. | 07:03 |
| onats1 | fryguy, i want to be able to do vnc.. i need to work on something using eclipse | 07:03 |
| lucent | onats1: oh okay, that is pretty simple I think fryguy would have a more direct explanation than I would ;) | 07:04 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan from ff? | 07:04 |
| fryguy | onats1: so, use eclipse over ssh. i gave you a recommendation if you insist on using vnc | 07:04 |
| cplab2-11 | fryguy: i did with mount command it is get mounted but i cant access the files | 07:04 |
| onats1 | eclipse is with gui? | 07:04 |
| onats1 | can i do that? | 07:04 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Yes. | 07:04 |
| fryguy | onats1: sure | 07:04 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan whats ff? | 07:04 |
| JulioNeto | lucent, I have bought this modem today at morning... When I plugged it on Ubuntu it just open the modem usb card, nothing more, so I went to win vista and installed the driver there and worked as should do. I got back to Ubuntu and plugged the modem again... and NOW it doesn't show me anything, not the usb card 0.o. | 07:04 |
| CarlFK | Terralthra: the nvidia v96 doesn't help? (it worked for my gforce2) | 07:04 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Firefox. | 07:04 |
| Terralthra | CarIFK - v96 doesn't work with 8.10's upgraded X11 | 07:05 |
| JulioNeto | lucent, if I solve this problem (the detection one) My modem will work pretty well ^-^ | 07:05 |
| chilli0 | so kevdog my config file is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96003/ | 07:05 |
| fryguy | cplab2-11: why can't you access the files | 07:05 |
| chilli0 | and tiyowan wired ? | 07:05 |
| tiyowan | JulioNeto: It isn't a Winmodem by any chance is it? | 07:05 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: so, you're saying that this thing contains a USB storage device? or what | 07:05 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: No you can do it form here. | 07:05 |
| chilli0 | kk | 07:05 |
| JulioNeto | tiyowan, I don't think so | 07:05 |
| onats1 | fryguy, can you tell me how to get the gui to work? | 07:05 |
| CarlFK | Terra it's working on my 8.10... | 07:05 |
| onats1 | i'm using putty | 07:06 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: I'm pretty confused by this and don't have any experience to say what to do next :/ | 07:06 |
| JulioNeto | lucent, YES! a storage device :D | 07:06 |
| Terralthra | how did you get it working? | 07:06 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: ah... | 07:06 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan were do i go into?, home network? | 07:06 |
| JulioNeto | *lucent, YES! a storage device too:D | 07:06 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: that's pretty clever. and I don't like it already! :P | 07:06 |
| fryguy | onats1: you run eclipse remotely via ssh, and it runs on local x server | 07:06 |
| cplab2-11 | when i click on that mounted drive i am getting an error as unable to open /dev/hda1 | 07:06 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Look for DNS, yeah. Post a screenshot, please. | 07:06 |
| fryguy | onats1: via x11 forwarding | 07:06 |
| JulioNeto | :p | 07:06 |
| lucent | JulioNeto: privmsg, I'll try to help you out | 07:06 |
| cplab2-11 | fryguy: when i click on that mounted drive i am getting an error as unable to open /dev/hda1 | 07:07 |
| fryguy | cplab2-11: i said use the mount command, not the gui | 07:07 |
| JulioNeto | =D | 07:07 |
| onats1 | fryguy, but what if i'm on windows? | 07:07 |
| JulioNeto | yey | 07:07 |

| AnnonyMouse | no GUI | 07:08 |
| AnnonyMouse | thought og DSL... | 07:08 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Be patient and keep looking around. | 07:08 |
| n2diy | AnnonyMouse, no gui, it fits on a floppy | 07:08 |
| fryguy | cplab2-11: sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp; sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/tmp; done | 07:08 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan unless i make a custom network ip thingo | 07:08 |
| CarlFK | Terralthra: apt-get install nvid...96, rm xorg.conf, reboot. good chance it will just work. | 07:08 |
| chilli0 | ill show yuou | 07:08 |
| negge | what command should I use to unpack .gz files? | 07:08 |
| fryguy | cplab2-11: please read the manpage for mount, like i already told you to do | 07:08 |
| Terralthra | I'll try it | 07:08 |
| fryguy | negge: gunzip | 07:08 |
| negge | fryguy: it says it's not a ZIP archive or something | 07:08 |
| fryguy | negge: that's because it's not, it's a gzip archive | 07:08 |
| Nemykal | What is nvidia-detector actually meant to do? | 07:08 |
| AnnonyMouse | sounds like a plan! thanx! planning a NAS/torrent | 07:08 |
| kevdog | chilli0: have you modified you /etc/resolv.conf igle? | 07:09 |
| AnnonyMouse | fits bill | 07:09 |
| chilli0 | no kevdog | 07:09 |
| chilli0 | erm tiyowan were do i post it | 07:09 |
| fryguy | AnnonyMouse: i'd check out freebsd if it's going to just be a fileserver | 07:09 |
| fryguy | AnnonyMouse: get the option of using zfs | 07:09 |
| cplab2-11 | fryguy: thanks i will do it | 07:09 |
| n2diy | AnnonyMouse, gl, hope you like a CLI | 07:09 |
| negge | fryguy: I need to unpack old Apache access.log files. Should I pass any parameters to gunzip? | 07:09 |
| fryguy | negge: no | 07:09 |
| raylu | negge: no, use zless and zgrep | 07:10 |
| Nemykal | I'm pretty sure I'm using the nvidia drivers on my 8400gs, not vesa, but glxgears seems to be slow and is effected by cpu speed. Is there a way I can tell I'm using nvidia acceleration and not vesa? | 07:10 |
| fryguy | negge: just read the manpage for it | 07:10 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Try photobucket. | 07:10 |
| negge | fryguy: now it just worked, must have been something wrong with the first archive I tried | 07:10 |

| Ultraputz | ok | 07:12 |
| Nemykal | Oh, CarlFK then I guess it works. nvidia-settings works fine. Just weird how glxgears is so reliant on cpu | 07:12 |
| Ultraputz | i'm running xfce and looking for a replacement for the root window / "desktop." | 07:12 |
| mn | What is the command to view the cube desktop with compiz fusion? I can only see a flat sheet when I do what should envoke a cube. Help please | 07:12 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: so what do i do? | 07:12 |
| Plecebo | I am trying to rescue some data from a failing hard drive using ddrescue. I used this command and it is copying the image now... did I make an error? sudo ddrescue -vr 5 /dev/sde /dev/sda /media/Archive/ddrescueLogFile | 07:12 |
| n2diy | anybody familiar with adding syntac highlighting to gedit? | 07:12 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: do i leave it like that? | 07:12 |
| fryguy | i just run without any desktop. my desktop is always completely covered anyway, so icons on it are useless | 07:12 |
| kevdog | chilli0: yes | 07:13 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Change the server to nameserver both lines. | 07:13 |
| kevdog | chilli0: then type ping google.com | 07:13 |
| Ultraputz | i use the desktop as an extension to short term memory, being able to place things where i want them is kind of important. | 07:13 |
| Plecebo | I'm wondering if I will be able to do something like sudo fsck -y /dev/sda | 07:13 |
| kevdog | I love fsck | 07:13 |
| fryguy | i love filesystems that don't require the use of fsck ever | 07:13 |
| chilli0 | so ill go back to wired | 07:13 |
| chilli0 | brb | 07:13 |
| prjg_ | hi guys, was wondering if anyone could help me | 07:13 |
| fryguy | prjg_: nobody can help you until you ask a question | 07:14 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Change both of the server lines to nameserver. Save the file. And restart networking. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:14 |
| kevdog | fsck is almost almost as pleasurable as sudo | 07:14 |
| raylu | kevdog: ... | 07:14 |
| kevdog | tiyowan: good point about the networking restart | 07:14 |
| Plecebo | am I on the right track? Or will writing the image directly to the device not work? | 07:14 |
| kevdog | ? | 07:14 |
| kevdog | raylu: i'll be quiet now! | 07:15 |
| Entelin | is it normal on ubuntu that issuing shutdown -r now will cause the screen to go black and restart almost immediately? as opposed to showing the init.d shutdown procedure? | 07:15 |
| prjg_ | I just installed Xubuntu 7.10 and when it tried to install grub, it gave me a fatal error, now it reboots to a grub prompt....from there, I have no idea | 07:15 |
| Plecebo | the only reason I did that rather then write the image to a mounted drive is that I don't have any drives with enough space to do that :( my largest functioning drive is the same size (400gb) as the one i'm attempting to rescue | 07:15 |
| onats | !xming | 07:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xming | 07:15 |
| raylu | Entelin: livecd? | 07:15 |
| Entelin | no | 07:15 |
| spree | Entelin, no, that's not notmal. are you running a livecd or embedded, something odd like that? | 07:15 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96006/ | 07:15 |
| Entelin | nothing odd, standard install | 07:15 |
| onats | raylu, how do i use this xming? i get an error Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 07:16 |
| Plecebo | Anyone have experience with ddrescue and writing directly to a device, rather then to a mounted partition? | 07:16 |
| chilli0 | o wait | 07:16 |
| Entelin | im running the newest version somthing.10 | 07:16 |
| chilli0 | brb | 07:16 |
| tiyowan | chill0: Did you restart networking? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:16 |
| chilli0 | no i didnt | 07:16 |
| chilli0 | so brb | 07:16 |
| spree | Entelin, maybe your video card is dropping to a mode you can't see when it leaves X. What is your video card? | 07:16 |
| kevdog | chilli0: did you do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:16 |
| Entelin | im not running x | 07:16 |
| fryguy | onats: how are you trying to run the application | 07:16 |
| n2diy | spree, what is "odd" about a live CD? | 07:16 |
| raylu | onats: what did you do? the simple answer is that $DISPLAY was not set, but it should have been set for you | 07:16 |
| fryguy | raylu: he probably is using putty and doesn't have x11 forwarding enabled | 07:17 |
| onats | fryguy, lets say i want to run GEDIT | 07:17 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan some error i did restart it this time | 07:17 |
| ikonia | chilli0: you have no name servers setup | 07:17 |
| spree | n2diy, i don't really feel like going off on a tangent with you, do not even reply to this line. | 07:17 |
| kevdog | Doesnt alt-F6 drop you to a command shell? | 07:17 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: What error? | 07:17 |
| n2diy | spree, ok | 07:18 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan chilli@Prodigy:~$ ping google.com | 07:18 |
| kevdog | So if your screeen is blank and you dont know if the sys crashed, you can drop to a command shell? | 07:18 |
| chilli0 | ping: unknown host google.com | 07:18 |
| tiyowan | :/ | 07:18 |
| raylu | fryguy: xming should start the ssh connection for him | 07:18 |
| ikonia | chilli0: you have name servers configured | 07:18 |
| fryguy | onats: plink -ssh -X user@host gedit right on the xming website | 07:18 |
| spree | Entelin, are you running a bare minimum of services? | 07:18 |
| raylu | onats: did you run xming or xlaunch? | 07:18 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: i dont know | 07:18 |
| fryguy | raylu: no it shouldn't, it uses 3rd party programs like plink to do it | 07:18 |
| userbina_ | hai | 07:18 |
| raylu | fryguy: xlaunch sets it up for you, though | 07:19 |
| ikonia | chilli0: sorry you have "no" name servers setu p | 07:19 |
| onats | the X11 forwarding,do i set that in the server? | 07:19 |
| fryguy | raylu: it might | 07:19 |
| juxo | Anyone have launch her VLC player today ? | 07:19 |
| chilli0 | ok | 07:19 |
| spree | Entelin, if you are not running many processes it will reboot very quickly | 07:19 |
| n2diy | anybody familiar with adding syntac highlighting to gedit? | 07:19 |
| onats | raylu, xming | 07:19 |
| fryguy | raylu: depending on if you configure xming to start a client for you or not | 07:19 |
| Entelin | spree, nope, i know it running through the shutdown sequence, but I thought it was strange that I couldnt see the messages | 07:19 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: He can use his wireless connection okay. The DNS works, but we think his DNS settings for ethernet are incorrect. So we're trying to setup OpenDNS servers from Ubuntu. Help? | 07:19 |
| spree | Entelin, I suppose the main issue here is, 'is there actually a problem here'? | 07:19 |
| raylu | onats: use xlaunch. and yes, enable X11 forwarding | 07:19 |
| Entelin | probably not | 07:19 |
| fryguy | raylu: i usually just start xming without a client, and then have the applications i'm going to run in xmingrc menu, run via plink | 07:19 |
| Entelin | annoyance | 07:19 |
| kevdog | chilli0: is your resolve.conf file still the same? | 07:20 |
| ikonia | tiyowan: is the wirless and wired router the same device ? | 07:20 |
| chilli0 | no | 07:20 |
| spree | Entelin, are you using more than one monitor, or have you ever done a major change in the monitor setup? | 07:20 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: Yes. | 07:20 |
| chilli0 | its been changed back to what it was originaly | 07:20 |
| kevdog | Ok, so lets take a different approach | 07:20 |
| nomad77 | n2diy: start with sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins | 07:20 |
| chilli0 | Ok. | 07:20 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: He's using the same router for wired/wireless. Wireless DNS works ok. Wired's a no-go. | 07:21 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Lets modify the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 07:21 |
| n2diy | nomad77, Thanks, I have that set up already. | 07:21 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: want me to past bin that? | 07:21 |
| tiyowan | chill0: Yep. | 07:22 |
| Entelin | spree, no just one monitor. hmm i noticed it does show a graphical bar thing though durring shutdown, didnt notice that last time | 07:22 |
| kevdog | chilli0: add a prepend line or change the existing one to read: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220; | 07:22 |
| ikonia | kevdog: what are the two different entries in the resolv.conf file between wired and wirless | 07:22 |
| chilli0 | there http://pastebin.com/m22568296 | 07:22 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Could you pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf file as well? | 07:23 |
| tiyowan | Hey wait a minute. | 07:23 |
| chilli0 | there we goes http://pastebin.com/m5ac92db5 | 07:23 |
| kevdog | tiyowan: Something is screwy here: both wired & wireless go through same router, but only in wireless case does the dns lookup work | 07:23 |
| tiyowan | The dh file is showing name-server as 127.0.0.1 for eth0 | 07:23 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: Check out the dhclient file. | 07:23 |
| sky_ | good morning ;] | 07:24 |
| onetinsoldier | hi | 07:24 |
| kevdog | tiyowan: OK -- Im not the one doing this | 07:24 |
| spree | Entelin, oh, it's showing the graphical bar instead of the init shutdown | 07:24 |
| spree | Entelin, that's actually a feature believe it or not | 07:24 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: what? | 07:24 |
| kevdog | chilli0: what what? | 07:25 |
| spree | i don't know how to turn that off though, somebody tell Entelin how to turn the graphical shutdown off so it shows the services turning off | 07:25 |
| kevdog | chilli0: did you edit the file? | 07:25 |
| chilli0 | no | 07:25 |
| ikonia | chilli0: have you modified your dhclicen.conf file bedoe? | 07:25 |
| chilli0 | i havent touched any files | 07:25 |
| ikonia | chilli0: thats nor possibe | 07:25 |
| chilli0 | this all started when i pluged in my wireless | 07:25 |
| ikonia | ahhh thats the default, it's commented out | 07:26 |
| spree | Entelin, what you are seeing is the way it's designed, there's nothing 'wrong' but i know there's a way to turn that off | 07:26 |
| kevdog | ikonia: Im having him edit the dhclient.conf file right now | 07:26 |
| ikonia | kevdog: why ? | 07:26 |
| zErOaCid | anyone has experienced after upgrading the kernel, you got a message: /usr is broken when issuing the command sudo update-grub ? any work around with this ? | 07:26 |
| chilli0 | should i just delete the files? | 07:26 |
| ikonia | kevdog: the file is fine | 07:26 |
| kevdog | ikonia: Im testing a theory | 07:26 |
| chilli0 | it may remake them | 07:26 |
| nomad77 | Entelin: maybe splash=silent verbose on grub root= line | 07:26 |
| kevdog | chilli0: now it will not | 07:27 |
| kevdog | no | 07:27 |
| onetinsoldier | error404notfound: where in the world have you gone too? | 07:27 |
| chilli0 | ok | 07:27 |
| kevdog | chilli0: add the prepend line or change it like I said | 07:27 |
| ikonia | chilli0: it won't | 07:27 |
| kevdog | ikonia: I think the problem lies within the router itself | 07:27 |
| Entelin | yeah ill do that | 07:27 |
| Entelin | thanks | 07:27 |
| GoodC | um... is this the support channel? | 07:28 |
| tiyowan | kevdog: Agreed. | 07:28 |
| fryguy | GoodC: yes | 07:28 |
| kevdog | GoodC: yes | 07:28 |
| kevdog | fryguy: Sorry you beat me to it by 1 sec | 07:28 |
| raylu | GoodC: only on days that end in y | 07:28 |
| GoodC | Does anyone know anything about booting ubuntu onto a powerbook? | 07:28 |
| n2diy | !ask | 07:28 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 07:28 |
| chilli0 | k get me a sec | 07:29 |
| kevdog | chilli0: post your dhclient.conf file when you are done! | 07:29 |
| chilli0 | k | 07:29 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Im running out of battery | 07:29 |
| chilli0 | were is the pretend line? | 07:29 |
| sky_ | GooDc. ppc ? | 07:29 |
| GoodC | intel? | 07:29 |
| chilli0 | o crap | 07:29 |
| kevdog | chilli0: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220; | 07:29 |
| kevdog | Just add this | 07:29 |
| chilli0 | done | 07:29 |
| GoodC | sorry, I dont know what ppc is. | 07:29 |
| tiyowan | chill0: Could you post a screenshot of your router settings? | 07:30 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: Does the dhclient file look all right to you? Because if it is, then I think we ought to have him modify his router settings. | 07:30 |
| Appiah | Anyway I can disable alt + mouse2 ? It kind of interupts some of my games | 07:30 |
| Appiah | in gnome | 07:30 |
| n2diy | GoodC, power book | 07:30 |
| chilli0 | http://pastebin.com/m1c28a7c3 | 07:30 |
| GoodC | yeah its a powerbook intel core 2 duo | 07:30 |
| fryguy | so, a macbook? | 07:30 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan the DNS can only be changed if i change the setting to coustom | 07:30 |
| kevdog | chilli0: dont put a # sign in front of the line | 07:30 |
| GoodC | i already ran refit and used bootcamp to create a 40gb partition | 07:31 |
| chilli0 | k | 07:31 |
| fryguy | GoodC: is it a macbook or a powerbook? | 07:31 |
| chilli0 | done | 07:31 |
| GoodC | powerbook | 07:31 |
| tiyowan | chillo0: Remove the #; restart and check by pinging google.com | 07:31 |
| GoodC | LOL | 07:31 |
| kevdog | Save the file and do a networking restart | 07:31 |
| GoodC | sorry | 07:31 |
| GoodC | its a macbook pro | 07:31 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan so wired? | 07:31 |
| GoodC | just one of those days | 07:31 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Yeah wired. | 07:31 |
| chilli0 | k | 07:32 |
| fryguy | GoodC: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro | 07:32 |
| n2diy | What's the diff. between power book and mac book? | 07:32 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Make sure you do a /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:32 |
| fryguy | n2diy: completely different processor and system architecture | 07:32 |
| GoodC | yeah ive been through that | 07:32 |
| === kj4hzw is now known as lateNightHam | ||
| fryguy | GoodC: so then ask a specific question | 07:32 |
| n2diy | fryguy, bummer. | 07:32 |
| GoodC | the problem is, as far as i can tell, to boot from a cd in mac i should restart and hold the c key while it loads until i see a menu to boot from cd | 07:32 |
| fryguy | GoodC: the apple key | 07:33 |
| GoodC | but mine just hangs for a bit and then ejects the cd | 07:33 |
| GoodC | huh ill try that | 07:33 |
| kevdog | chilli0: Hello? | 07:33 |
| GoodC | thanks, for helpin - im tryin it now | 07:33 |
| fryguy | GoodC: if you did it correctly, linux will be available as an option from the menu that pops up, and refit won't be necessary | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | GoodC, Yes, but you also need the PPC version of Ubuntu, the x86 version will not boot on a powerbook | 07:33 |
| chilli0 | you are all so sexy | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | wait wtf | 07:34 |
| fryguy | Jordan_U: he has a macbook pro | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | ok then | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | im wtfing | 07:34 |
| FloodBot3 | chilli0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | kevdog: im confuzed chilli@Prodigy:~$ ping www.google.com | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | fryguy, Ahh, missed that :) | 07:34 |
| kevdog | chilli0: What? | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | so if i go to firefox i goto google.com , but cant ping google | 07:34 |
| Entelin | ok one other irritation I would like to be rid of, what is the fastest way to switch between windowmanagers? usually I will use windowmaker, however occasionally ill switch to the default gnome one. Normally i have done this by adding a .xsession file, however having to rename it to switch back and fourth is kinda annoying. any better way? | 07:34 |
| sky_ | ping fbi.gov | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | so google.com will open in firefox | 07:34 |
| mn | does one have to have more than 1 desktop to make a cube with compiz? | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | but i cant ping it | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | mn, Yes | 07:35 |
| fryguy | Entelin: gdm sessions should be created automatically when you install window managers | 07:35 |
| sky_ | Entelin> fast is reinstall OS :D | 07:35 |
| fryguy | Entelin: they are in /etc/gdm/ i think | 07:35 |
| fryguy | sky_: lol wut | 07:35 |
| kevdog | chilli0: When did you find this out? | 07:35 |
| Entelin | without gdm since i dont use it | 07:35 |
| chilli0 | when i went wired | 07:35 |
| fryguy | Entelin: what do you use? | 07:35 |
| chilli0 | i went to google.com | 07:35 |
| Entelin | startx & | 07:35 |
| chilli0 | and it work i was YAY | 07:35 |
| mn | Jordan_U:Why can I not have more than 1 desktop? Is it my graphics card or something else? | 07:35 |
| chilli0 | but then when i pinged google. it sayd ping: unknown host www.google.com | 07:35 |
| fryguy | Entelin: startx runs .xinitrc, check the manpage to see if you can make it use a different startup script | 07:36 |
| sky_ | mn> have you enabled direct rendering ? | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | Entelin, There is an option to choose a different session when you login if you use the GDM | 07:36 |
| mn | sky_: not that I know of. Should I? | 07:36 |
| fryguy | Jordan_U: are you even paying attention to chat? | 07:36 |
| mn | if so, how? | 07:36 |
| bingoxXx | hi, I can't connet to 10.* ip addresses while I am able to connect 144.* in a LAN. | 07:36 |
| nomad77 | Entelin your .xinitrc used by startx just comment,uncomment window managers,easier for setting global settings also | 07:36 |
| onetinsoldier | chilli0: while on wired, can you install a package? | 07:36 |
| bingoxXx | what can be the reason? | 07:36 |
| Appiah | bingoxXx: routing | 07:36 |
| JulioNeto | can I delete all the content of "/etc/udev/rules.d"? Is any problem in do it? | 07:36 |
| chilli0 | onetinsoldier: not sure ill try it soon | 07:36 |
| sky_ | mn. sure | 07:37 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Is it working or now? | 07:37 |
| tiyowan | cilli0: Does ping google.com return anything? | 07:37 |
| bingoxXx | Appiah: thx, but how to do that | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | fryguy, Wifi is going in and out, sometimes I am not seeing the most current posts / my post gets there late | 07:37 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: your network isn't routing traffic correctly | 07:37 |
| kevdog | chilli0: I'm taking off for now -- battery is about out -- Ive had this error before too -- don't know why -- I think I rebooted which doesnt make a lot of sense, but things seemed to work themselves out. Good luck on your problems. If you need more help which these experts here can not provide, catch me in the forums. | 07:37 |
| Entelin | often when I want the gnome one ill fire it up as a second instance of x, so gdm is somewhat awkward and I find it gets in the way. but yeah ill probably just have to write a quick script | 07:37 |
| [kP] | hi, anybody use ebox-samba ? | 07:37 |
| Appiah | upload your config to pastebin and let us see it bingoxXx | 07:37 |
| sky_ | mn: enable nonfree graphic drivers. | 07:37 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan give me a min im gonna go wired and see wahts gonna happen | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | chilli0: i recommend installing iptraf, it might help you out | 07:37 |
| tiyowan | bingoxXx: Incorrect router inconfiguration. | 07:37 |
| chilli0 | k thanks kevdog | 07:37 |
| chilli0 | brb | 07:37 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, so how to resolve this issue? | 07:37 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: configure your network hardware correctly | 07:37 |
| LMJ | good morning the chan | 07:37 |
| bingoxXx | while on windows I am able to do that | 07:37 |
| mn | sky_: i have that enabled. I don't think my card need proprietary drivers | 07:38 |
| GoodC | Morning | 07:38 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: or use the route add command to configure static routes in ubuntu (not what you want to do) | 07:38 |
| sky_ | mn: check if you have direct rendering : yes via : glxinfo | grep direct | 07:38 |
| fryguy | what does direct rendering have to do with enabling a second monitor? | 07:38 |
| === Mud|afk is now known as Mud | ||
| chilli0 | ok nm | 07:38 |
| chilli0 | ok nm i thought it was working, but it doesnt work at all again | 07:38 |
| mn | sky_:it says yes | 07:38 |
| Jordan_U | mn, Just add another deskto via ccsm, the option is somewhat cryptically named IIRC, something like "horazontal size" | 07:39 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, can to explain in detail. I am a beginner here | 07:39 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: it's probably not an ubuntu problem | 07:39 |
| sky_ | yeah | 07:39 |
| chilli0 | tiyowan its not working | 07:39 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: so this isn't the right place to be asking, unless you can provide more details that suggest the contrary | 07:39 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: I'm officially out of ideas. My gut instinct is to open your router configuration and configure it from there. | 07:39 |
| Entelin | i love the fact that ubuntu has a working copy of windowmaker, centos ditched it :( | 07:39 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy but it is connecting in windows. | 07:39 |
| saivi | i was updating and for "Debconf: do u want to keep local menu.lst..." msg came, i for curiosity selected open a new shell to compare... | 07:39 |
| chilli0 | ah | 07:39 |
| chilli0 | ok | 07:39 |
| mn | jordan_u:there is an option for number of desktops | 07:40 |
| chilli0 | ill have to kill my self | 07:40 |
| chilli0 | lol | 07:40 |
| mn | sky_: what should I do? | 07:40 |
| sky_ | lol | 07:40 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: so what is the topology of your network | 07:40 |
| saivi | its not responding and i'm stuck | 07:40 |
| n2diy | tiyowan, , chilli0 reset the router to it's defaults? | 07:40 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: what device is doing routing between your 2 separate subnets | 07:40 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, how to check that? | 07:40 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: you go ask your network administrator | 07:40 |
| saivi | i cancelled it and am now in root prompt in "Applying Changes page" what to do? | 07:40 |
| sky_ | mn: you want have CUBE ? | 07:41 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: You need to post screenshots of your router configuration. Are you typing "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" before checking btw? | 07:41 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, or from some commands can't I do that, goind to network admin is the last thing I want to do. | 07:41 |
| mn | sky_:yes | 07:41 |
| Jordan_U | saivi, In what way is it not responding? Can you run "echo test" ? | 07:41 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: i can't help you unless I know what your network topology is and what specifically you want to do | 07:41 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, probably because they are not at all helpful | 07:41 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, ok, but can you suggest if the topology is known where should I look for the changes? | 07:42 |
| sky_ | mn: ccsm-general-desktop size and put on virtual blah blah = 4 | 07:42 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: the router that routes between the 2 subnets | 07:42 |
| chilli0 | ok tiyowan when i go wired and look at my config it has only one line in it and it is, #Generated by NetworkManager | 07:43 |
| tiyowan | bingoxXx: The router. | 07:43 |
| chilli0 | n2diy: i did that | 07:43 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, it is a university lan | 07:43 |
| dayz-ivxx | How do i change the keyboard shortcut for my media player? to a non default media player? | 07:43 |
| saivi | at preset I'm in the root prompt in "Installing software" window.. | 07:43 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: unless you are asking your question incorrectly, you need to go talk to your network administrator | 07:43 |
| nomad77 | saivi: try ctrl +c to kill apt-get,dpkg or whatever process | 07:43 |
| jeancalvin | what file(s) is/are changed when I open up System/Preferences/ScreenResolution? | 07:44 |
| tiyowan | chill0: Mate. I want you to do this all right? "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" Then remove your wireless card. Then try to ping google.com. Then if that doesn't work, "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and tell us. | 07:44 |
| saivi | won't it delete all the other files downloaded? do i need to download them again? | 07:44 |
| jeancalvin | because sometimes that program does NOT say that the configuration file is going to be changed. | 07:44 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, ok, but what can be the issue if it is connecting in windows but not in ubuntu? | 07:44 |
| mn | sky_: wow, I feel really stupid now :) Thnx much for helping me! | 07:44 |
| nomad77 | saivi: no just stops the install,it's recoverable files are good | 07:44 |
| fryguy | bingoxXx: no idea, i don't have enough details about what you are doing to even begin to suggest possibilities | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | saivi, type "exit" and hit return | 07:45 |
| sky_ | mn: you are welcome | 07:45 |
| bingoxXx | fryguy, ok. thanks for the help anyways | 07:45 |
| sky_ | mn: but secret (i am not using Ubuntu :D) | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | saivi, That should let it continue | 07:45 |
| mn | sky_: :) why not? | 07:46 |
| fryguy | sky_: neither am i | 07:46 |
| sky_ | every distro choose his friends and ubuntu said that i am not friend :( | 07:47 |
| prjg_ | can someone help me with a grub problem please? | 07:47 |
| tiyowan | !ask | prjg_ | 07:48 |
| ubottu | prjg_: 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. :-) | 07:48 |
| sky_ | say your problem | 07:48 |
| fryguy | sky_: freebsd here, what are you using | 07:48 |
| GoodC | fryguy: if I boot up fedora on my partitioned macbook pro, can I -simply- boot ubuntu over it later? | 07:48 |
| mn | ah sky_, what distro do you prefer? | 07:48 |
| sidelil | Hello everybody, I'm trying to use cron, I'm editing the file with crontab -e and then checking with crontab -l, and it seems to be correct, but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do to have it working? Thanks a lot | 07:48 |
| fryguy | GoodC: yes | 07:48 |
| sky_ | Fedora10 :] | 07:48 |
| mn | ah, i have never used it | 07:48 |
| GoodC | awesome, thanks | 07:49 |
| fryguy | heh last time i was on a fedora machine was back in fedora 1 | 07:49 |
| fryguy | i use freebsd on all of my machines now | 07:49 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: how long ago was that? | 07:49 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: dunno | 07:49 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: couple years i guess | 07:49 |
| prjg_ | righto, I just got rid of Fedora 10, and put Xubuntu 7.10 in its place - after I installed from the live CD and rebooted, it just puts me to a grub prompt | 07:49 |
| nomad77 | prjg_: root (hdx,y) then second line setup (hdx) then escape boot it up grub reads 1 above so if hda3 would be root (hd0,2) setup (hd0) as an example | 07:49 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: roger | 07:49 |
| GoodC | how do u type the person's name so quickly? | 07:49 |
| fryguy | GoodC: tab key | 07:49 |
| sky_ | i want try again Ubuntu ...:] | 07:50 |
| tiyowan | I remember using red hat um, what was it v4? | 07:50 |
| GoodC | my tab key isnt doing anything | 07:50 |
| fryguy | ubuntu doesn't install on my hardware, for what is apparently no good reason, so other *nix i use | 07:50 |
| fryguy | GoodC: so then get an irc client that doesn't suck | 07:50 |
| nomad77 | lol | 07:50 |
| GoodC | LOL | 07:50 |
| GoodC | im using the one that's bundled with ubuntu | 07:50 |
| fryguy | GoodC: although every irc client i know of supports it, so no idea what you are doing | 07:50 |
| tiyowan | GoodC: What irc client are you using? | 07:50 |
| GoodC | pigeon | 07:51 |
| sky_ | Ubuntu means that i dont know configure debian but i know but there doesnt work for me graphic cards | 07:51 |
| fryguy | pidgin supports it | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | GoodC, Type the first few letters of somebody's nick first, then hit tab | 07:51 |
| tiyowan | GoodC: Typing a couple of characters of the guy's name and then pressing help tab helps too. :D | 07:51 |
| fryguy | sky_: ubuntu means "i want to use debian and have more recent versions of popular packages" | 07:51 |
| chilli0 | every one who helped | 07:51 |
| onetinsoldier | and a compiz that acutally works | 07:51 |
| chilli0 | Thanks so much | 07:51 |
| chilli0 | i managed to fix it | 07:52 |
| fryguy | well i don't use compiz so :/ | 07:52 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: Did it work? | 07:52 |
| fryguy | compiz is pretty poor as a window manager | 07:52 |
| tiyowan | chilli0: What did you do? | 07:52 |

| rathel_ | Anyone use Conky? I'm trying to add audacious to it but I can't figure it out, it's just like "${audacious_status}" right? and the same way for the title and time? It's not working for me. | 07:55 |
| onats | what is the best location to put in downloaded applications like eclipse in the filesystem? | 07:55 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: about the same for red hat 5.0, and i used 5.1 and 5.2, then debian | 07:55 |
| fryguy | onats: if it's a binary distribution the correct location is /opt | 07:55 |
| onats | fryguy, ok thanks | 07:56 |
| jim_p | rathel_, give me a sec to look it up | 07:56 |
| fryguy | onats: eclipse is in repository though so probably use that | 07:56 |
| onats | fryguy, but the eclipse version in the repository is just 3.2 | 07:56 |
| onats | i got the ganymede version | 07:56 |

| fryguy | onats: just learn a real text editor :/ | 07:57 |
| rathel_ | jim_p, Okay. | 07:57 |
| onats | fryguy, well i like all the integrated features of an ide...checkouts, check ins.. code complete, etc. | 07:58 |
| fryguy | onats: my text editor does all of that | 07:58 |
| onats | code completion? | 07:58 |
| fryguy | yes | 07:58 |
| onats | what text editor do you use? | 07:59 |

| n2diy | anybody familiar with adding syntac highlighting to gedit? | 07:59 |
| bazhang | fryguy, onats please | 07:59 |
| jim_p | rathel_, in conky manual page it says that audacious_title is followed by a number that shows the max characters it can contain | 08:00 |
| onats | ok sorry | 08:00 |
| === godsyn^ is now known as godsyn | ||
| jim_p | rathel_, but it does not work for me | 08:00 |
| fryguy | would asking about conky configuration be as off topic about talking about vim configuration? | 08:01 |
| rathel_ | jim_p, Yeah, but the syntax is just ${audacious_status} right? Because it's not working for me. | 08:01 |
| tiyowan | fryguy: Yes. There is a #conky channel. | 08:01 |
| fryguy | tiyowan: so why direct offtopic messages to me and not to rathel_ | 08:01 |
| Arrowhead212002 | WOW!!!! | 08:02 |
| jim_p | rathel_, i put ${audacious_title 60} and no results. i guess it may need to be compiled with the audacious option enabled | 08:02 |
| d6chung | Hi, in a HAL policy file (.fdi), where can I get a list of "key" values? My Googling skills seem to suck today... | 08:02 |

| ehama | Hi. Any way to prevent Firefox from going fullscreen? It began after updating my system yesterday. | 08:03 |
| fryguy | tiyowan: it makes about 80% of this channel be offtopic, but nevertheless | 08:03 |
| chilli0 | ehama: try F11 | 08:03 |
| bazhang | fryguy, please stop | 08:03 |
| rathel_ | jim_p, How do you find the compiled options anyways for packages you download through apt? | 08:03 |
| georgeaf | is it possible to install deb packages on a persistent live usb ? | 08:03 |
| fryguy | ehama: ask in #firefox about how to configure it to prevent window resizing | 08:04 |
| ehama | okay thanks. | 08:04 |
| jim_p | rathel_, from gentoo's wiki or in the apps url i guess | 08:04 |
| tiyowan | fryguy: "does to, does not" seems rather childlish doesn't it? And if you've got a problem with me personally, then that is your prerogative. | 08:04 |
| bazhang | tiyowan, you too please | 08:04 |
| histo | ehama, just close it when its not fullscreen | 08:05 |
| tiyowan | bazhang: Apologies. | 08:05 |
| jim_p | rathel_, let me look about the compiles options in the repo | 08:05 |
| georgeaf | hi everyone, is it possible to install deb packages on a persistent live usb ? | 08:05 |
| histo | georgeaf, yes it should act just like its installed locally | 08:06 |
| ehama | histo, its not when I start firefox. It is when I click links and it prevents me to see the task bar and also the close-resize-minimize buttons are also hidden. | 08:06 |

| histo | ehama, hit F11 or try holding alt and moving the window so You can access those buttons | 08:06 |
| fryguy | onats: using plink is offtopic for this channel, go try asking in ##linux | 08:07 |

| ehama | raylu, yes it should. But it doesn't. | 08:12 |
| madduck | add/remove does work | 08:12 |
| rob | well id like to add or remove users for starter | 08:13 |
| rob | s | 08:13 |
| rob | but i cant do anything | 08:13 |
| rob | its all grayed | 08:13 |
| ehama | raylu, I think I'll just try reinstalling. | 08:13 |
| raylu | ehama: strange. no idea, sorry | 08:13 |
| madduck | i can select the items and then there's some busy cursor and then it stops and nothing opened | 08:13 |
| onetinsoldier | ehama: ok, close firefox. go to your home directory... mv .mozilla .mozilla-fullscreen ..try firefox again | 08:13 |
| raylu | madduck: sudo aptitude isntall | 08:13 |
| ehama | onetinsoldier, trying now. thanks. | 08:13 |
| jim_p | rathel_, in case you look for the audacious option its --enable-audacious=yes|no|legacy | 08:14 |
| onetinsoldier | ehama: ok, good luck | 08:14 |
| raylu | *install | 08:14 |
| madduck | raylu: i know i can use the command line, but I want to fix the gui tools as this is a machine I am handing over to someone who does not want the CLI | 08:14 |
| * cviorel cviorel | 08:14 | |
| raylu | madduck: right... running that may show what's wrong, though | 08:14 |
| rob | since the unlock is grayed its not allowing me to edit the users and this is the admin user | 08:14 |
| madduck | raylu: ok, trying | 08:14 |
| ehama | onetinsoldier, that helped. thanks again all. | 08:15 |
| raylu | little does ehama know, all his preferences are now gone | 08:15 |
| onetinsoldier | ehama: you're welcome! :-) | 08:15 |
| raylu | is this like the 20th time in the last 24 hrs we've suggested getting rid of .mozilla? methinks something is wrong here | 08:16 |
| ehama | raylu, yes but it was a recent install, so doesn't bother me that much. | 08:16 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: if he did what i said... they aren't toally blown away forever | 08:16 |
| madduck | raylu: aptitude performs fine | 08:16 |
| madduck | update-manager also pretends it works fine, i click on check and it says i am up to date | 08:17 |
| raylu | madduck: o.0. running aptitude install didn't show any messages? | 08:17 |
| madduck | which aptitude doesn't believe, it suggests 100+ upgrades | 08:17 |
| madduck | raylu: no. | 08:17 |
| madduck | raylu: well, nothing extra-ordinary | 08:17 |
| rathel_ | I got conky source through apt-get now where is it stored? lol | 08:17 |
| wiehan | ikonia: hey mate, just quickly need to ask/say something | 08:17 |
| raylu | madduck: strange. either reinstall synaptic or show me the output of "sudo aptitude install" | 08:17 |
| tiyowan | madduck: Wild guess. Your software sources are ok right? | 08:17 |
| raylu | rathel_: package name? | 08:18 |
| raylu | tiyowan: aptitude thinks so | 08:18 |
| rob | ** (users-admin:869): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '869' | 08:18 |

| madduck | tiyowan: yes, aptitude performs just fine on the command line | 08:18 |
| madduck | this is the GUI broken | 08:18 |
| d6chung | Never mind, jstest lets me find this out. | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | rob, Do not run GUI apps with sudo! | 08:18 |
| madduck | raylu: okay, can I also reinstall update-manager? | 08:18 |
| rathel_ | onetinsoldier, apt-get source conky | 08:18 |
| omshanti | ok i am having a big problem when i try to save with gedit or gimp or openoffice it crashes instead of saving what do i do | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | rob | 08:18 |
| ubottu | rob: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:18 |

| onetinsoldier | rathel_: do look in the dir where you did the command | 08:19 |
| raylu | madduck: sure :D | 08:19 |
| rathel_ | onetinsoldier, Wow.. lol I thought it would be /usr/src or something.. | 08:19 |
| rob | its still grayed even WITH sudo... why? | 08:20 |
| raylu | omshanti: all 3? where are you saving to? | 08:20 |
| onetinsoldier | rathel_: i keep stuff in /usr/src myself usually. you can move it there now if you prefer | 08:20 |
| omshanti | well i just click save and it crashes, i don't try to save it | 08:20 |
| tiyowan | omshanti: You do have enough space right? | 08:20 |
| raylu | rob: adding and removing can be done with "adduser" and "deluser" | 08:20 |
| madduck | raylu: http://1t2.us/294827 | 08:20 |
| omshanti | how do i check tiyowan? | 08:20 |
| * omshanti opens up a terminal | 08:21 | |
| rob | it still bugs me that it's grayed out and it never used to be | 08:21 |
| tiyowan | omshanti: df | 08:21 |
| rob | so why start now | 08:21 |

| wiehan | hi... yesterday I set up a RAID with excellent help from ikonia in this channel.. it 'worked' or rather seemed to work... The idea was to span a partition over a 160gb and a 250gb so as to use the combined capacity for one folder. Afterwards I started copying files to it and roughly at 160gb (the capacity of the smaller HD) it stopped and said drive was full... I have NO idea how to troubleshoot this, or how to fix this... I don't know | 08:25 |
| wiehan | where to begin - please please help.... | 08:25 |
| tiyowan | !pastebin | wubi | 08:25 |
| ubottu | wubi: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 08:25 |
| onetinsoldier | wubi: you should use a pastebin | 08:25 |
| c0l2e | in udev rules.. how can I create a RUN += which will wait till the script in run to be finished ?? | 08:25 |
| wubi | ok onetinsoldier and tiyowan | 08:25 |

| c0l2e | I've created a udev rules.. but I suspect the it run multiple times | 08:25 |
| raylu | wiehan: you'll have to give us some details about your configuration | 08:26 |
| Terralthra | And when it boots, black screen. | 08:26 |
| rob | i cant change the time as well.... thats grayed out too | 08:26 |
| tiyowan | rob: How man users do you see btw? | 08:27 |
| wubi | tiyowan onetinsoldier raylu: anyway here is the error message. i am concerned about the 2nd to the last line | 08:27 |
| madduck | raylu, jim_p: removing those did not fix the problem. | 08:27 |
| wiehan | raylu: it is a RAID 0 configration, and as I said, the purpose was to make them 1 partition... at the moement the "RAID" partition is mounted as /dev/md1 | 08:27 |
| madduck | after aptitude update, update-notifier tells me about 100+ updates | 08:27 |
| omshanti | tiyowan, when i use emacs it works | 08:27 |
| madduck | but I can't: 1. start synaptic, 2. let update-manager upgrade them, 3. edit sources.list graphically | 08:27 |
| wubi | raylu tiyowan onetinsoldier: it says in the 2nd to the last line "Saving 1/1 dirty records of Inbox" - What does that mean? | 08:27 |
| madduck | in fact, it seems as if downloading sources does not work | 08:27 |
| raylu | madduck: i wonder what happens if you run synaptic in a terminal | 08:27 |
| onetinsoldier | wubi: we need the pastebin url | 08:27 |
| wubi | oh right | 08:28 |
| madduck | raylu: should i tell you? :) | 08:28 |

| scientes | i have nfs as root and it gets to the log in | 08:36 |
| wubi | onetinsoldier: moving the .mozilla folder? after googling i think its an ff3 bug | 08:36 |
| scientes | and then it just doesnt ask for a password | 08:37 |

| onetinsoldier | wubi: yes. moving the .mozilla was going to be my suggestion | 08:37 |

| rob | ive browsed a bunch of forums and asked a bunch of people but nobody knows wtf it's doing it | 08:51 |
| onetinsoldier | rob: i can tell you right now, i'd be the same way. it would drive me nuts unto the ends of the earth | 08:51 |
| raylu | Terralthra: i thnk something is wrong with your monitor configurations | 08:52 |
| recon1025 | is there anyway for me to make a realtime backup of a VMI image onto two different drivers by only using software? | 08:52 |
| raylu | Terralthra: if x is still running, does "xrandr" show anything? also, show me /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:52 |
| recon1025 | yeah very specific request here... =/ | 08:52 |
| raylu | |thunder: no, but it'll do what you want | 08:52 |
| tiyowan | dennister: Are you using the LiveCD right now? | 08:52 |
| |thunder | that happened to me, make sure there is no ' (single quote) in the name of your monitor | 08:52 |
| Terralthra | raylu: xrandr: Can't open display | 08:52 |
| recon1025 | by realtime backup i mean everytime i modify the .vmi in 1 place it will be automatically modified in another place | 08:52 |
| tiyowan | raylu: Terralthra's file shows a problem with the dpi of the monitor...maybe that'll help? | 08:53 |
| raylu | Terralthra: there's a way to set the display for that command. try xrandr --help, set it to :0 | 08:53 |
| Terralthra | raylu: http://pastebin.com/f75428e4 | 08:53 |
| raylu | tiyowan: yes, but i have little idea what i'm doing | 08:53 |
| rob | would running samba with the same login affect gnome's users and groups? | 08:53 |
| dennister | tiyowan: nope...on a different machine...my own | 08:53 |
| rob | do you think samba is what grayed it out? | 08:53 |
| raylu | Terralthra: you forgot a letter in there; found it, though | 08:53 |
| dennister | but i've got one handy | 08:53 |
| rob | because earlier today i setup my network and for the user & pass i used this logon | 08:54 |
| Terralthra | sorry >.> | 08:54 |
| raylu | recon1025: symlink to an nfs/sshfs share? | 08:54 |
| Terralthra | can't get find the option to set display | 08:54 |
| darkrubicant | agh help please | 08:54 |
| recon1025 | symlink? that's like a shortcut isnt it? | 08:54 |
| tiyowan | dennister: Okay. What you need to do is to boot off the LiveCD, then go to a terminal, then type grub-install /dev/X where X is where you want to install it. | 08:54 |
| tiyowan | Terralthra: What nvidia card do you have? | 08:55 |
| onetinsoldier | dangit, that error404notfound guy must have gone to bed. i wanted to know if my 'experimental' command was going to work for him | 08:55 |
| darkrubicant | how do I delete the MBR of my other hard-drive so I can get the windows xp professional cd to stop blue screening | 08:55 |
| recon1025 | its my understanding that symlink is simply a reference to a file | 08:55 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: Is Windows installed on that drive? | 08:55 |
| darkrubicant | I've tried testdisk, and ms-sys neither seem to be doing the job | 08:55 |
| tiyowan | recon1025: Yes. Sort of. | 08:55 |
| rob | oh well i give up for tonight.. ill be back tomorrow.. thanks for the help | 08:55 |
| Terralthra | tiyowan: GeForce4Go | 08:55 |
| darkrubicant | Windows was installed, I've completely formatted it, but the MBR seems to be persistent. | 08:55 |
| rob | ttyl, and goodnight all | 08:55 |
| dennister | tiyowan: ah, ok...thx | 08:56 |
| recon1025 | well tiyowan that wont do. im looking for some type of command line utility for linux that can emulate a RAID1 for simply a file or folder | 08:56 |
| Terralthra | supposed to use the glx 96 driver, if I am correct | 08:56 |
| darkrubicant | for instance, the grub loader on this hard-drive recognizes that that hard-drive still has a MBR that contains windows xp and ubuntu | 08:56 |
| darkrubicant | even though I've inserted a new MBR for windows with Ms-sys and I've attempted to wipe that drive | 08:57 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: Hmmm.... | 08:57 |
| darkrubicant | It's a western digital 250 gig sata drive, I suppose I have a few questions | 08:57 |
| darkrubicant | could it have MBR protection? | 08:57 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: So do you want to that wipe the other drive? | 08:57 |
| darkrubicant | yes | 08:57 |
| dennister | wierd...all of a sudden mouse from kvm isn't working in winblows either...not to worry, tho...thank god i've got usb mice | 08:57 |
| raylu | Terralthra: for now, take out the load "type1" line | 08:57 |
| darkrubicant | I want to wipe the darn thing completely | 08:57 |
| Terralthra | in the xorg.conf? | 08:57 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: Have you tried formatting it then? | 08:58 |
| minus18_pundit | is it possible to use two dial-up connections? | 08:58 |
| darkrubicant | yes I have | 08:58 |
| cherva | us there a way to add shortcuts to some of the nautilus script files ? | 08:58 |
| raylu | recon1025: it will do... what do you need it for? | 08:58 |
| darkrubicant | I've formatted in ext2 and 3, fat32, and ntfs | 08:58 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: What happened then? | 08:58 |
| raylu | Terralthra: one sec | 08:58 |
| darkrubicant | Same error everytime I try and the MBR persists. | 08:58 |
| minus18_pundit | is it possible to use two dial-up connections at the same time? | 08:58 |
| raylu | recon1025: every time it tries to access the symlink, it'll read the file it's linked to instead | 08:58 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: GRUB is still showing entries for booting? | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: if you want it clean you can use a disk scrubber | 08:58 |
| maddox | anyone else having a problem with Firefox lately? | 08:58 |
| darkrubicant | yes tiyowan | 08:58 |
| darkrubicant | ActionParsnip1, such as? | 08:58 |
| darkrubicant | will a disk scrubber kill the MBR as well? | 08:59 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: What error? | 08:59 |
| ZeiP | Does someone have Nokia E51 and use it with Ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| darkrubicant | It gives me a blue screen stop error. | 08:59 |
| dennister | double wierd...usb mouse isn't working either | 08:59 |
| raylu | Terralthra: sudo X -configure | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: there are some on the ultimate boot cd, it alternates bits 5 times per bit to make sure its REALLY hard to recover | 08:59 |
| darkrubicant | I don't care about being really hard to recover, even writing 0's to the whole damn thing would be fine, including the first 46 bits that contain the MBR | 09:00 |
| darkrubicant | bytes or bits. | 09:00 |
| tiyowan | Terralthra: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:00 |
| Terralthra | ok | 09:00 |
| tiyowan | Terralthra: Then try startx | 09:00 |
| Terralthra | which of you should I listen to? =D | 09:00 |
| maddox | firefox keeps popping up a little thing at the top saying "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"...then if you restart it, the same thing happens. over and over again. | 09:00 |
| onetinsoldier | maddox: a few people have had some problems lately, and there will probably always be some niggles with firefox now and then. you really should just state the real problem and question | 09:00 |
| raylu | tiyowan: that's likely overkill | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda (for example replace hda with the name of the drive (not partition)) | 09:00 |
| onetinsoldier | maddox: ok.. you got it out.. cool | 09:01 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: I'd trying using the utilities on the Ultimate Boot CD or Parted Magic or System Rescue etc. | 09:01 |
| darkrubicant | ActionParsnip1, where can I get my hands on the ultimate boot cd, if possible I can also scrub the hard-drive from the operating system i'm on right now, this system has two hard-drives in it, and the hard-drive i'm currently on has Ubuntu, whereas the other drive had ubuntu and windows xp and now i'm simply trying to get windows xp reinstalled on it. | 09:01 |
| tiyowan | darkrubicant: Should wipe it out. | 09:01 |
| maddox | sorry, I thought maybe this was something that was happening to everyone with the new beta or whatever. didn't want to re-type what everyone else had been saying all day | 09:01 |
| tiyowan | raylu: True. | 09:01 |
| darkrubicant | I tried Gparted so far, as well as ms-sys and uh | 09:01 |
| onetinsoldier | maddox: do you have any firefox preferences saved that you really care about right now... like a buck of bookmarks or anything? | 09:02 |
| onetinsoldier | bunch* | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: www.ultimatebootcd.com | 09:02 |
| maddox | no, I use foxmarks | 09:02 |
| raylu | :D | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: its free and awesome | 09:02 |
| Terralthra | tiyowan: fatal server error, no screens foudn | 09:02 |
| Terralthra | found | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: its also got a TONNE of other tools too | 09:02 |
| darkrubicant | nice. | 09:02 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip1: what's wrong with the dd command you gave? | 09:02 |
| darkrubicant | well that's the great thing about ubuntu | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: like drive testing apps from the major hdd manufacturers | 09:03 |
| raylu | Terralthra: which command? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mem testers | 09:03 |
| Terralthra | the dpkg-reconfigure | 09:03 |
| raylu | Terralthra: immediately? or...? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: all good stuff, everyone should have a copy | 09:03 |
| onetinsoldier | maddox: ok. i have something you can try. close out firefox, then in your home directory, do... mv .mozilla .mozilla-restart | 09:03 |
| darkrubicant | yea but it's not for the newbs, heh if I didn't know a thing or two I'd be in deep water trying to recover from this. | 09:03 |
| recon1025 | tiyowan: In essence, I want any changes to file A to be reflected automatically in realtime to File B | 09:03 |
| Terralthra | raylu, sorry, the dpkg-reconfigure works, then the startx flashes immediately to fatal server error: no screens found | 09:04 |
| darkrubicant | I've already tried a bunch of things and so I was at my wits end and decided to ask for help | 09:04 |
| darkrubicant | you say that this ultimatebootcd will do it though? | 09:04 |
| raylu | Terralthra: oh. that makes more sense | 09:04 |
| raylu | Terralthra: show us the new Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf | 09:05 |
| c0l2e | how can I set delays in udev ?? | 09:05 |
| hischild | This is starting to drive me nuts. Whenever i play a video on my laptop it continuously every few minutes or so stops for a few seconds with an apparent reason. The audio keeps on playing, but the entire desktops freezes. | 09:05 |
| Terralthra | hang on | 09:05 |
| maddox | I haven't messed with the command line in awhile. what's the command to move to home directory? | 09:05 |
| hischild | maddox, type cd | 09:05 |
| maddox | duh, thank you | 09:05 |
| raylu | hischild: video player, codec? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | derklempner: yeah, you can scrub the drive clean and it will have no boot sector and no data | 09:05 |
| darkrubicant | good | 09:05 |
| darkrubicant | mistab there. | 09:06 |
| hischild | raylu, tried vlc and totem, with all codecs (gstreamer and w32codecs) installed. | 09:06 |
| c0l2e | created a udev rules to run a script... but I guess.. its not running properly | 09:06 |
| darkrubicant | I didn't want to have to burn a cd if not necessary but I suppose creating a cd with a bunch of useful tools wouldn't be a bad idea. | 09:06 |
| maddox | onetinsoldier - thank you, that appears to have worked | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: try apt-building it. | 09:06 |
| raylu | hischild: what codec is the video? or have you tried with a few? | 09:06 |
| Ranakah | anybody know how to make network adapter realtek rtl8139 to work in ubuntu server? in my desktop work fine, but in server not show it in ifconfig | 09:06 |
| onetinsoldier | maddox: you're welcome :-) cheers | 09:06 |
| gizmo_ | is terminal same like shell? | 09:07 |
| hischild | raylu, _EVERY_ video does it, no exception as to where it comes from, what program i use or which video it is. | 09:07 |
| raylu | gizmo_: terminals hold shells | 09:07 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, apt-what? | 09:07 |
| Terralthra | http://pastebinit.com/f5a7f8ff5 | 09:07 |
| raylu | !tw | gizmo_ | 09:07 |

| Terralthra | http://pastebinit.com/f4e3c51e4 | 09:07 |
| derklempner | ActionParsnip1: I didn't ask anything... LOL | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: its like emerge for gentoo | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | derklempner: yeah sorry man, i was nattering to darkrubicant | 09:07 |
| gizmo_ | raylu: what you mean hold shell?can i create bnc in terminal? | 09:08 |
| raylu | gizmo_: bnc = ? | 09:08 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, so pretty much compile from source? don't see the use, since vlc, totem and mplayer do it. | 09:08 |
| gizmo_ | raylu: psybnc.. | 09:08 |
| derklempner | LOL no worries. Seems weird since I just happened to glance at IRC for the first time in about 3 hours. | 09:08 |
| raylu | !tw | Ranakah | 09:08 |
| ubottu | Ranakah: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 09:08 |
| Ranakah | lol :D i'm not from taiwan | 09:08 |
| Ranakah | :) | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: but you can optomise some, my amd64 system for some reason goes faster as I compile for amd64 with sse3 | 09:09 |
| raylu | Ranakah: o.0 | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: seems faster | 09:09 |
| darkrubicant | you know | 09:09 |
| gizmo_ | raylu: can i create psybnc in terminal.. | 09:09 |
| raylu | gizmo_: no familiarity with that | 09:09 |
| darkrubicant | if I could get some of these games to work in wine, I wouldn't even go back into xp | 09:09 |
| gizmo_ | i mean like freebsd..u knwo? | 09:09 |
| darkrubicant | haha | 09:09 |
| Ranakah | raylu a frend add me this user for psybnc | 09:09 |
| raylu | gizmo_: ...i know freebsd. i don't know psybnc | 09:09 |
| gizmo_ | raylu: how come? | 09:09 |
| darkrubicant | wish wine had better support | 09:09 |
| raylu | darkrubicant: vmware | 09:09 |
| raylu | darkrubicant: virtualbox, qemu | 09:10 |
| darkrubicant | argh | 09:10 |
| fryguy | gizmo_: by create do you mean compile? compilation instructions are typically ./configure; make; (as root) make install. if instructions vary from this they are typically included in a README file in the source code | 09:10 |
| darkrubicant | I haven't messed with virtualbox/qemu | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | darkrubicant: its pretty decent, just needs some extra config some times. check appdb for compatibility | 09:10 |
| gizmo_ | i d/l psybnc in terminal..but i dont know how to open after finished d/l | 09:10 |
| raylu | Terralthra: generating these urls by hand isn't working :P | 09:10 |
| darkrubicant | appdb for wine or for one of the programs raylu listed? | 09:11 |
| Ranakah | for psybnc just download it from psybnc.at, then tar xzvf filename.tar.gz, cd psybnc, make and that's it | 09:11 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, i'll do that once, after i get it all working properly ... because the video can't seem to just keep playing properly | 09:11 |
| Terralthra | well | 09:11 |
| gizmo_ | i d/l psybnc in terminal..but i dont know how to open after finished d/l | 09:11 |
| Terralthra | The one that's generating them kinda does not have an IRC client | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: yea getting that willprobably make it smoother | 09:11 |
| Terralthra | which one did not work? | 09:11 |
| fryguy | gizmo_: by create do you mean compile? compilation instructions are typically ./configure; make; (as root) make install. if instructions vary from this they are typically included in a README file in the source code | 09:11 |
| gizmo_ | can anyon3 help me to solve this.. | 09:11 |
| bazhang | gizmo_, what is that | 09:11 |
| raylu | Terralthra: neither. pastebinit.com isn't valid and neither are the urls at pastebin.com | 09:12 |
| gizmo_ | www.psybnc.at | 09:12 |
| darkrubicant | at any rate, I want to get this ultimatebootcd burnt now I'm excited to try it | 09:12 |
| darkrubicant | haha I'm such a geek | 09:12 |
| gizmo_ | fryguy: maybe sumthing like that.. | 09:12 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: psybnc should compile in any system that has a *nix compatible compiler to what I know. Usually you ./configure then make then make install, in the majority of the cases. | 09:12 |
| Terralthra | http://pastebin.com/f5a7f8ff5 | 09:12 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, aight i'll give it a go | 09:12 |
| gizmo_ | but i dont know how to open psybnc in terminal afteri d/l | 09:12 |
| Terralthra | http://pastebin.com/f4e3c51e4 | 09:12 |
| darkrubicant | thanks for the help ActionParsnip1 and the other person who was helping | 09:12 |
| fryguy | gizmo_: 3 people just gave you almost identical instructions. are you having a specific issue after following this instructions? | 09:13 |
| fryguy | these* | 09:13 |

| ActionParsnip1 | scientes: uber, then install the package | 09:15 |

| sidelil | Hello everybody, I'm trying to use cron, I'm editing the file with crontab -e and then checking with crontab -l, and it seems to be correct, but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do to have it working? Thanks a lot | 09:23 |
| raylu | Terralthra: i wonder if this uses the nvidia driver | 09:23 |

| Terralthra | I can move the x cursor around, but there's nothing to click | 09:25 |

| Neaai | gizmo_: if you got a .tar.gz file as you said for the psybnc, the way to 'open' it would be to go the directory where you downloaded it, and then: tar -zxvf psybncfile.tar.gz | 09:26 |
| talntid | i waited a few minutes and looked outside, and it is still there... | 09:26 |
| Arrowhead212002 | i know what you did wrong | 09:26 |
| talntid | what gives? do i need to use the recovery console? | 09:26 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, i just noticed a new symptom ... i'm rebuilding mplayer while still trying to watch a video. Now that the CPU is under stress, the video has no problems ... it almost seems that the moment the cooling goes on, the video freezes. | 09:26 |
| Terralthra | raylu: gdm started up and I got the login screen; I logged in, and it is now loading stuff | 09:26 |
| Arrowhead212002 | you forgot the apt-get | 09:26 |

| crimsaq | I'm trying to use sudo on a non-primary account, and it won't let me. any way I can add this account to the sudo'rs list? | 09:26 |
| fryguy | crimsaq: add the user to the admin group | 09:26 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: is there any README file there ? | 09:26 |
| onetinsoldier | gabrielcz: hmm, i'm not sure how to fix this. people with this problem have been having a hard time getting it fixed. try... cat /etc/default/locale ..what do you get? | 09:26 |
| raylu | Terralthra: lsmod | grep nvidia. or, Xorg.0.log to be safe :D | 09:27 |
| === kasu is now known as kasu_tesoja | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: hmm, maybe you need some tweaked power stuffs. do you have the newest kernel? | 09:27 |
| gizmo_ | Neaai: nope.. | 09:27 |
| crimsaq | fryguy, where do I go about doing that? | 09:27 |
| fryguy | crimsaq: using the adduser command | 09:27 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: or any INSTALL file? Those files have all the instructions you'd need. | 09:27 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, as always i do, with a fully updated system. Power savings work fine, battery lasts longer then on windows. | 09:27 |
| Terralthra | raylu: http://pastebin.com/f1056194a | 09:28 |
| raylu | dennister: any progress with grub-install? | 09:28 |
| dennister | ok guys...it looks like I have to fix my device map to remove the usb stick | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: maybe the longer lasting is affecting playback | 09:28 |
| gizmo_ | bash: /server: No such file or directory | 09:28 |
| gizmo_ | <--what is this mean? | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: you could give mplayer a lower nice value | 09:28 |
| raylu | Terralthra: sigh. it used the nv driver | 09:28 |
| dennister | raylu: that's what terminal told me to do after i typed in 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdb --root-directory=/media/root | 09:28 |
| Terralthra | =[ | 09:28 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: that there is no /server directory | 09:29 |
| dennister | so it makes sense to fix the system map :) | 09:29 |
| raylu | dennister: ok. open devices.map and delete the line | 09:29 |
| raylu | dennister: renumber as needed | 09:29 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: you think you can fix a locales problem? | 09:29 |
| raylu | Terralthra: show me the current xorg.conf? | 09:29 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: nope :D | 09:29 |
| fryguy | crimsaq: you can also edit /etc/group manually, but this is not recommended because if you mess up in that file bad things happen. It's how I tend to do it because it's usually faster for me, but probably just use the adduser command, which is unfortunately misnomered because it's used for doing basic user editing as well | 09:29 |
| gizmo_ | Neaai: how to get server?have to d/l or w.get | 09:29 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: i hear that! | 09:29 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: i still don't know what gabrielcz is doing | 09:30 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: roger | 09:30 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, i don't understand, how can giving mplayer a lower nice value help? During video playback no video player goes higher then 20% cpu usage, so the cooling only kicks in every few minutes. | 09:30 |
| dennister | oops, not system map, device map | 09:30 |
| Terralthra | raylu: http://pastebin.com/f59a04e16 | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: it might reduce the hangs | 09:31 |
| fryguy | giving something a lower nice value will cause it to use more cpu, not less. | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: id look at it from the cooling side though, rather than the app | 09:31 |
| raylu | Terralthra: add Load "nvidia" to the module section | 09:31 |
| hischild | fryguy, i understand but there's only so much cpu it can use | 09:32 |
| raylu | Terralthra: and change the "nv" to "nvidia" in the device driver | 09:32 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: well I just checked the psybnc official site and got the .tar.gz file. There *is* a README file in there. You have to follow its instructions to install. | 09:32 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, then i don't understand, but i will try it. | 09:32 |
| gizmo_ | i already instal Neaai | 09:32 |
| gizmo_ | i just dont know how to make bnc and the server | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hischild: got me too | 09:32 |
| fryguy | gizmo_: the tarball you downloaded includes full documentation as well. | 09:33 |
| onetinsoldier | gabrielcz: hello? what's happening? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | raylu: theres a tool to populat the xorg.conf file | 09:33 |
| gizmo_ | fryguy: : how to open the read me? | 09:33 |
| gizmo_ | but there dont say how to put server.. | 09:33 |
| fryguy | gizmo_: use the less command, or the more command, or really any text editor | 09:33 |
| onetinsoldier | gizmo_: less README | 09:33 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: now, with any text editor. | 09:33 |

| hischild | ActionParsnip1, right. Well should something odd happen i can still reverse it. Tnx for the help, i'll come back. | 09:37 |

We have configured it now so that it esatblishes a connection via a serial GPRS modem, but when the connection has been made we need to execute a script (or the ability to manually set a route), any suggestions? | 09:38 |
| Kartagis | why would vi give CONVERSION ERROR? | 09:38 |
| ardchoille | ActionParsnip1: probably already installed, it was updated yesterday for all releases | 09:38 |
| gizmo_ | no one teach me.. | 09:39 |
| ardchoille | ActionParsnip1: as to whether or not you *need* it, I don't know | 09:39 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip1, btw, you don't really need avahi, but it'll give you an IP should it fail to find a dhcp server or something else and some other minor stuff. | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ardchoille: oh yes it is and i just got the update, is it necessary for a desktop system though? | 09:39 |
| gizmo_ | so hard for me if just read the document | 09:39 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: follow the instructions given at section (a) of the README file and do as it says. | 09:39 |

| ubottu | gizmo_ read this carefully: 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+) | 09:40 |
| fryguy | suji: otherwise you can use netcat and pipe the output from one netcat into the input of another listening netcat | 09:40 |
| dennister | yes!!! after editing grub lines, now booting into new isntallation :-) | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TimothyP: i dont know about automatically, you could have a script on your desktop that you can manually run | 09:40 |
| Neaai | gizmo_: to what I saw, you have to "make menuconfig" and after you set the configuration right you have to simply "make" | 09:40 |
| bazhang | gizmo_, there are a number of links there you need to read carefully. | 09:40 |
| suji | how to do the netcat. the both system hava ssh | 09:41 |
| raylu | dennister: cross your fingers | 09:41 |
| fryguy | suji: if both systems have ssh, just use scp | 09:41 |

| Kozeris | My friend has problem: yesterday has kubuntu installing on slave hdd while master was xp and then smthng messed with GRUB. He got grub error 25. Today we tried to disconnect xp and install master linux , and we got errorDISK BOOT FAILURE-Insert system disk and press enter. So whe connected Only XP ( removed ubuntu hdd) : all loading ok, then we connected additionaly slave ubuntu hdd, | 09:44 |
| qwyeth | And if not, is there a better channel I should be asking Ubuntu Server questions on? | 09:44 |
| dennister | other than that i'm pretty experrienced at editing grub lines, too, lol | 09:44 |
| Kozeris | its 4 times slower loada, but hdtune shows ok 50mbs both | 09:44 |
| Kozeris | and then if only linux hdd it loads veyr long GRUB, and then grub gives mys hown error | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | qwyeth: you can set it with passwd when you change their password. it sets the time they will be forced to change their password | 09:45 |
| fryguy | So I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a machine, it's an intel core2 processor on a p35 motherboard, nvidia graphics card that runs using the nvidia binary driver.

The liveCDs freeze as soon as the get to the desktop, and the alternative installer freezes pa | 09:45 |
| Neaai | Kozeris: most probably you have to reinstall grub | 09:45 |
| raylu | Terralthra: heh | 09:45 |
| raylu | Terralthra: you have an extra ' | 09:45 |
| raylu | Terralthra: after nvidia | 09:45 |
| dennister | when i get some of these desktops installed properly and stuff I'll find out why mice aren't working in winblows all of a sudden :(...in the winblows channel | 09:45 |
| qwyeth | Yes, I've done that, but that does not answer my question. I want to set random passwords and FORCE the change upon login. | 09:45 |
| fryguy | what else can I try to successfully install ubuntu on this machine | 09:45 |
| Terralthra | whoops | 09:45 |
| DJones | qwyeth: There is the channel #ubuntu-server as well that might be able to help | 09:46 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Kozeris: sounds like the bios is still pointing to the xp disk, change it to boot to the ubuntu disk and it will boot that, if necessary add the xp boot stuffs to /boot/grub/menu.list but if you had the xp drive connected during install this will not be needed | 09:46 |

| hischild | fryguy, can do loads. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: try disabling nnecesssary hardware in bios | 09:48 |

| Vinceman | about that one site | 09:48 |
| raylu | Terralthra: heh. back to the xorg.0.log | 09:48 |
| fryguy | hischild: such as what? that will help me in this situation | 09:48 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: as one guys said, distros choose their friends, and for some machines some distros are not their friend :P try the kernel option pci=noacpi. doubt that will help but might be worth trying | 09:48 |
| dennister | getting those win drivers was hell...and i'm not even getting paid for all this work for someone i hardly know...lol | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: does the ubuntu iso pass md5sum and does the cd check ok for errors? | 09:49 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: already tried that boot option | 09:49 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: ok, roger | 09:49 |
| Vinceman | ActionParsnip1, the results are very old | 09:49 |
| raylu | Terralthra: though, this might be faster for you if you just restored the xorg.conf before you edited it (from x -configure) | 09:49 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: as i said in the original statement, yes it does, and it also installs correctly from the same media on other machines | 09:49 |
| raylu | Terralthra: and used nvidia-xconfig | 09:49 |

| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: did you test your ram. could be worth a try | 09:49 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: ram is fine, runs memtest for 48 hours. Also of note is that several other operating systems listed run correctly | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: do you get the live desktop? | 09:50 |
| fryguy | hischild: i guess i'm asking for specifics as to what to do to the liveusb that will allow me to install correctly where the livecd wouldn't | 09:50 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: i do, and then i can't click on anything, and i lose the ability to do anything with keyboard (although caps lock and numlock still work) | 09:50 |
| Terralthra | raylu: nvidia-xconfig had a validation error: "Data incomplete in file xorg.conf. Device section "configured video device" must have a driver line" | 09:50 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: and the mouse moves, buti can't click | 09:50 |
| hischild | fryguy, did you see me say it would install correctly? I'm trying to rule out possibly faults where it can go wrong | 09:50 |
| Mud | 10:35am <ActionParsnip1:#ubuntu> well thats as clear as mud | 09:51 |
| Mud | ?? | 09:51 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: same behavior occurs on 32-bit and 64-bit of both 8.04 and 8.10 | 09:51 |

| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: ok when you get the desktop, hit ctrl+alt+f1 and you should be able to sleuth from there, if the keyboard fails ther ei dont know whats going on | 09:51 |
| Terralthra | ok, tried again | 09:51 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: virtual terminal switching doesn't work | 09:51 |
| Terralthra | with the proper xorg.conf | 09:51 |
| re5 | It seems java will not uninstall :/ | 09:52 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: like i just said, the keyboard stops being responsive | 09:52 |
| re5 | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 09:52 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: exccept for caps lock and numlock keys | 09:52 |
| re5 | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: maybe in x,but maybe not in command line | 09:52 |
| re5 | any ideas? | 09:52 |
| raylu | re5: run dpkg --configure -a? | 09:52 |
| re5 | yup | 09:52 |
| hischild | re5, the solution is just there --> sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: maybe the x server is flakey for some reason | 09:52 |
| re5 | errors | 09:52 |
| hischild | !apt-fix | re5 | 09:52 |
| ubottu | re5: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:52 |
| onetinsoldier | pastebin the errors | 09:52 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: yes, so i went to the alternative installer, which as i mentioned in the original question, freezes partway through also | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you could even try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade there, see if it helps | 09:53 |
| raylu | re5: show? | 09:53 |
| raylu | hischild: that's not relevant | 09:53 |
| Terralthra | raylu: black screen. again. | 09:53 |
| onetinsoldier | re5: pastebin the errors | 09:53 |
| raylu | Terralthra: after doing what? | 09:53 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: i have tried that, it doesn't accomplish anything | 09:53 |
| Terralthra | after nvidia-xconfig | 09:53 |
| raylu | Terralthra: oh. xorg log :( | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: upgrading with the xserver killed? | 09:54 |
| Terralthra | (and restartint gdm) | 09:54 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: yes | 09:54 |
| hischild | raylu, why is that not relevant? the error is that it's stuck, that will unlock it. | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ok | 09:54 |
| re5 | hischild fixed, thanks dude | 09:54 |
| bullgard4 | /var/backups/ includes on my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer the files aptitude.pkgstates.0, aptitude.pkgstates.1.gz und aptitude.pkgstates.2.gz dated October 2007. Is this not data garbage which I can delete because I have a file dpkg.status.0 dated 12 December 2008 also? | 09:54 |
| raylu | hischild: that doesn't fix the broken java package | 09:54 |
| raylu | hischild: which is what's causing the error | 09:54 |
| Terralthra | raylu: http://pastebin.com/f6f41ec92 | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: well the live cd only needs limited system stuffs, maybe you could try a different keyboard / mouse? | 09:54 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: i've already tried a different keyboard mouse, same behavior occurs | 09:55 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: i've even switched from usb to ps/2 devices, with no change | 09:55 |
| hischild | raylu, i wasn't trying to help him fix the broken package. But you can't fix a broken package as long as the package system was still broken. That command from !apt-fix fixes his package system, allowing him to continue on. Look up a bit, it did fix. | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: then ive no idea, youve shot down pretty much everything as being ok | 09:55 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: k | 09:55 |
| raylu | Terralthra: this looks familiar... xorg.conf again :( | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: id see if anyone else can pitch in | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: and /or ask later on | 09:55 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: too early to repeat, so i'll wait a bit. i've been asking on and off for a day or so | 09:56 |
| raylu | hischild: configuring it should have fixed it too, but in a nicer way | 09:56 |
| dennister | ok guys, i'm going to bed at 5 am here...i should be fine now that i'm back in my comfort zone with a working grub | 09:56 |
| Terralthra | raylu: http://pastebin.com/fc542174 | 09:56 |
| dennister | night all, and thx to raylu and the others | 09:57 |
| hischild | raylu, he already said he tried that | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: best way | 09:57 |
| raylu | hischild: oh, didn't notice | 09:57 |
| hischild | raylu, anyway, his problems are fixed. | 09:57 |
| dayz-ivxx | how do you change keyboard shortcuts for keyboards with "media" buttons to open a non-default(rhythmbox) media player and open my new one | 09:58 |
| stmartin | Can somebody tell me how to put background color of the text of the icons??? | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: maybe have the system power off, disconnect all power inputs and remove cmos battery for an hour. then plug it all back in and fire up | 09:58 |
| re5 | raylu i was able to remove the broken package with package manager once it was unlocked with !apt-fix ;) | 09:58 |
| Arrowhead212002 | can someone help me install songbird | 09:58 |
| dayz-ivxx | arrow | 09:58 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: I have a configured bios whose settings I don't want to lose. | 09:59 |
| Arrowhead212002 | is there a sudo apt-get install command for it? | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: should clear out any old nvram logs etc | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: ok | 09:59 |
| dayz-ivxx | arrowhead212002:i just downloaded it from the site | 09:59 |
| fryguy | what else can I try to successfully install ubuntu on this machine | 09:59 |
| bazhang | Arrowhead212002, you need to install the 3rd party deb | 09:59 |
| raylu | Terralthra: :( | 09:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Arrowhead212002: have you tried apt-get install songbird? | 09:59 |
| raylu | Terralthra: i have no idea | 09:59 |
| fryguy | So I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a machine, it's an intel core2 processor on a p35 motherboard, nvidia graphics card that runs using the nvidia binary driver. Other versions of linux install fine (including archlinux, gentoo, freebsd (doesn't count), debian, and linux from scratch), but neither 8.04, 32-bit or 64-bit, or the alternative installers will install. The liveCDs freeze as soon as the get to the desktop, and the alternative installer freezes pa | 09:59 |
| Terralthra | raylu: I'm pretty sure it's a problem with X | 09:59 |
| stmartin | Can somebody tell me how to put background color of the text of the icons??? | 09:59 |
| esko_ | fryguy, is ubuntu cd tested in cd drive where you are installing it? | 09:59 |
| Arrowhead212002 | dang i forgot about the 3rd party deb... lol im sorry its late lol | 09:59 |
| Terralthra | there's an issue with nvidia's glx 96 and 71 drivers with the X included in 8.10 | 10:00 |
| raylu | Terralthra: but the nv driver was fine. this makes it a problem with the drivers | 10:00 |
| onetinsoldier | Arrowhead212002: nvm, looks like bazhang'g got you covered | 10:00 |
| fryguy | esko_: yes, and the media (all 6 of them) install fine on another machine | 10:00 |
| Terralthra | which is why I tried to install 8.04 | 10:00 |
| Kartagis | why would vi give CONVERSION ERROR? how can I make it not to? | 10:00 |
| fryguy | esko_: and i've tried a different cd drive on the same machine anyway | 10:00 |
| Arrowhead212002 | yeah thats what im running 8.04 | 10:00 |
| Terralthra | but then gnome-desktop-environment dependency bug screwed me there | 10:00 |
| * stmartin urgent helppp | 10:00 | |
| ikonia | stmartin you have to ask a question to get help | 10:00 |
| stmartin | Can somebody tell me how to put background color of the text of the icons.? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: in the limited time you have on the desktop, mount a usb drive and output dmeg to a text file on it | 10:01 |
| ikonia | stmartin: thats taken from the default background colour | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you can then read it offline | 10:01 |
| stmartin | ikonia I don't want it | 10:01 |
| stmartin | I don't want to be transparent | 10:01 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: the dmesg is pretty much the same as it is for any of the other linuxes that install on the machine | 10:01 |
| ikonia | stmartin: then sett he colour in the default background settings | 10:02 |
| stmartin | Only when I click on them, they aren't | 10:02 |
| hischild | fryguy, we just want to see it. Please do it. | 10:02 |
| ikonia | stmartin: and this is urgent ? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: well your system is weird, which isnt the same as your other linux boxes | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you could also output lshw too | 10:02 |
| Terralthra | That the computer requires a minimal install CD + the bug with the metapackage dependences makes 8.04 just Not Work. | 10:02 |
| Terralthra | Which is very annoying, but what can I do? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you are going to have to do something as the system isnt healthy so you need to probe it to see whats wrong | 10:03 |
| Terralthra | 8.10 doesn't work with the nvidia 96 drivers, and 8.04 doesn't work to even get gnome. | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you cant expect it to be the same as the system isnt acting the same | 10:03 |
| stmartin | How to make it? | 10:03 |
| ikonia | fryguy: is it possible to install ssh on teh live environment | 10:03 |
| ikonia | fryguy: then work on it remotly when it hangs ? | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: nice | 10:04 |
| raylu | ikonia: yes, but then you might as well use an alternate install | 10:04 |
| ikonia | raylu: why ? | 10:04 |
| ikonia | raylu: the alternative install hangs also | 10:04 |
| raylu | oh... | 10:05 |
| onetinsoldier | what's mode +J ? | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: even though the gui has hung you can still ssh to it if the system underneath is still running | 10:06 |
| sleepy_cat | webkit-gtk | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you can then run dmesg and see if the kernel is having a bad day | 10:06 |
| Arrowhead212002 | lol ok well im glad that i got that figured out lol :P | 10:06 |
| Arrowhead212002 | idk how i would live without #ubuntu | 10:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Arrowhead212002: what did you end up figuring out? | 10:07 |
| dayz-ivxx | arrowhead212002: what did you do? i'm wonderin if i might have done it incorrect >.< | 10:07 |
| Arrowhead212002 | instead of going the tar.gz route i went the .deb route | 10:07 |
| Terralthra | so, is there any way to get the dependency fixed for 8.04? because that is one hell of a bug =[ | 10:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Arrowhead212002: oh.. i see | 10:07 |
| Arrowhead212002 | yeah | 10:07 |
| dayz-ivxx | ? | 10:08 |
| Arrowhead212002 | tar files are a mess for packets imo | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Terralthra: try sudo apt-get -f install and it will fix it for you | 10:08 |
| dayz-ivxx | lawl i'm filling so stupid i think i'm too tired to understand | 10:08 |
| dayz-ivxx | where'd you find the .deb? | 10:08 |
| dayz-ivxx | feeling!!! | 10:08 |
| dayz-ivxx | HAHA | 10:08 |
| Kozeris | neaai btw before we installed ubuntu, we had ntfs | 10:08 |
| Kozeris | <Kozeris> so it was ntfs[xp] + ntfs[slave,data] | 10:08 |
| Kozeris | <Kozeris> and then winxp loades slow too | 10:08 |
| Kozeris | <Kozeris> what can be problem | 10:08 |
| Kozeris | <Kozeris> its like something with that data which is now ubuntu | 10:08 |
| FloodBot1 | Kozeris: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:08 |
| Arrowhead212002 | dayz-ivxx: i got it here http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird | 10:09 |
| dayz-ivxx | arrowhead212002: thank you :) | 10:09 |
| fryguy | hischild: ActionParsnip1: http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/dmesg http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/lshw | 10:09 |
| Arrowhead212002 | though it only has it for ubuntu 8.01 and 8.10 | 10:09 |
| Arrowhead212002 | er 8.04 | 10:09 |

| suji | how to learn the commands any pdf or website available | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: is your bluetooth internal or is it usb? | 10:12 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: no bluetooth | 10:12 |
| hischild | fryguy, you have an ipv6 router? If not, please give us your entire dmesg, not just a part. | 10:12 |
| fryguy | hischild: i have an ipv6 capable router, yes. that is the complete output from dmesg | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: do you have a usb hard drive attached? | 10:13 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: yes | 10:13 |
| suji | any one say how to learn ubuntu commands | 10:13 |
| fryguy | a thumbdrive i connected so i could grab these files | 10:13 |
| fryguy | although i ended up just transferring them over network | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | !terminal | 10:13 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: is it used to install ubuntu or are you installing from cd or are you installing to the internal hard drive? | 10:13 |
| fryguy | installing from cd to internal hard drive | 10:13 |
| fryguy | standard install, nothing special | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: did you try disconnecting the usb drive when you installed? | 10:14 |
| suji | fryguy please give me a link how to learn the commands in ubuntu | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you want the system minimum | 10:14 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: yes, the first time it was connected was right now | 10:14 |
| fryguy | suji: i don't know anything | 10:14 |
| ikonia | suji you need to use generic linux commands such as guides listed on http://www.tldp.org | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: no printers or scanners or anything, bare bones | 10:14 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: i'm on a minimum hardware set | 10:14 |
| bullgard4 | /var/backups/ includes on my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer the files aptitude.pkgstates.0, aptitude.pkgstates.1.gz und aptitude.pkgstates.2.gz dated October 2007. Is this not data garbage which I can delete because I have a file dpkg.status.0 dated 12 December 2008 also? | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: then all i can suggest is to start ripping hardware out | 10:15 |
| rww | suji: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:15 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: more importantly, i'm on the same hardware set that installs fine for several other operating systems. | 10:15 |
| suji | ikonia thank u verymuch | 10:15 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: There's nothing else I can rip out | 10:15 |
| suji | rww thank u | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: well its a different operating system | 10:15 |
| ikonia | bullgard4 just archives, you can delete them | 10:15 |
| hischild | fryguy, you've still got the onboard audio, onboard lan, firewire enabled. Disable those. | 10:15 |
| hischild | fryguy, then on the bootscreen of the desktop CD, remove the quiet and splash and check where it hangs | 10:16 |
| fryguy | hischild: i've had them all disabled, it doesn't change anything | 10:16 |
| bazhang | http://linuxcommand.org/ suji | 10:16 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: ok. | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you are gonna need a tonne of boot options then to kill off most of your modules and system functionality to get it installed then | 10:16 |
| fryguy | hischild: it gets all the way to the desktop | 10:16 |
| hischild | fryguy, will you just say "i've already done that, didnt work" all the time? | 10:16 |
| hischild | fryguy, you just said it wouldn't ... | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: you need to disable stuff like LAN and onboard firewire | 10:16 |
| ikonia | fryguy does the numlock key turn on the numlock light ? | 10:16 |
| fryguy | hischild: i've spent a significant amount of time debugging this already. I don't run into a problem and run into the channel to get it solved. I spend time resolving it myself | 10:16 |
| fryguy | ikonia: yes | 10:16 |
| fryguy | and capslock works | 10:16 |
| fryguy | but no other keys work | 10:16 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i've swapped keyboard already too (and mouse) | 10:17 |
| hischild | fryguy, then don't bother coming here if you won't even accept help given. | 10:17 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: i have disabled all of it, it doesn't change the behavior i experience | 10:17 |
| ikonia | fryguy: you don't get a full desktop, just the background, somiething like that | 10:17 |
| fryguy | hischild: i'm telling you i've already done these things. | 10:17 |
| fryguy | ikonia: no i get a full desktop | 10:17 |
| fryguy | with icons and everything | 10:17 |
| fryguy | and i can move the mouse | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: he says it boots thn hangs after a while | 10:17 |
| fryguy | i just can't click anything, and the keyboard has the behavior as i described) | 10:17 |
| hischild | fryguy, <fryguy> hischild: i've had them all disabled, it doesn't change anything | 10:18 |
| ikonia | fryguy: so can you click any of the icons/menus ? | 10:18 |
| fryguy | ikonia: correct | 10:18 |
| fryguy | err wait | 10:18 |
| fryguy | i can not | 10:18 |
| hischild | <hischild> fryguy, you've still got the onboard audio, onboard lan, firewire enabled. Disable those. | 10:18 |
| fryguy | sorry i misread | 10:18 |
| fryguy | hischild: i have disabled them in a previous try | 10:18 |
| fryguy | hischild: it doesn't change anything | 10:18 |
| FloodBot1 | fryguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:18 |
| hischild | fryguy, which part did you not understand? I'm not asking you if you have tried it in the past. I"m telling you to do tha tnow. | 10:18 |
| fryguy | hischild: this isn't my first time trying this | 10:18 |
| hischild | fryguy, and i'm trying to help you, but as long as you refuse to work along i can't help. | 10:18 |
| fryguy | hischild: ok, and then after the machine freezes again, what do you want me to do? reboot it and give you a new dmesg? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: if you run lsmod you can rmmod some of the modules loaded to see if its better | 10:19 |
| ikonia | fryguy: you mentioned earlier you have problems with the alternative cd also, is that correct or did I missread | 10:19 |
| fryguy | ikonia: that is correct | 10:19 |
| ikonia | fryguy: at what point does that "hang" seeing as it doesn't use a desktop | 10:19 |
| fryguy | ikonia: right when it actually starts the installation procedure, after all options have been chosen | 10:19 |
| ikonia | fryguy: so it parttiions the disks and all that, and as you hit install, the progress bar appears and it hangs ? | 10:20 |
| fryguy | ikonia: exactly | 10:20 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: what other partitions are on the hd?? | 10:20 |
| kjs | is there a way to get my firefox and thunderbird settings / accounts / bookmarks etc | 10:20 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: 1 ntfs partition, 1 ufs partition | 10:20 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: roger | 10:20 |
| esko_ | fryguy, is your hdd controller marvell? | 10:21 |
| shams | hi, i download AssaultCube and can run it successfully. but after minutes, X servers crashed and i can't restart x or gdm and must reboot my machine. how can i fix this prob or how can i found problem? | 10:21 |
| hischild | fryguy, all partitions, not just those 2. Include the swap as well | 10:21 |
| fryguy | kjs: ~/.mozilla has firefox settings | 10:21 |
| fryguy | hischild: at the time the installation starts, i have no other partitions besides the 2 i just mentioned | 10:21 |
| fryguy | he said other i thought he was referring to "not related to this install", sorry for making an assumption | 10:22 |
| hischild | fryguy, you have another drive, and it clearly shows 4 partitions here, with the swap being in the extended partition. | 10:22 |
| fryguy | esko_: http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/dmesg http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/lshw | 10:22 |
| kjs | fryguy: from windows to linux i ment | 10:22 |
| fryguy | hischild: right, that's from the ubuntu install | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shams: read dmesg and other ubuntu logs to se whats going on | 10:22 |
| fryguy | hischild: as part of what ikonia just discussed with me, the alternative installer gets all the way past partitioning | 10:22 |
| mk213 | can someone quickly give me some advice with wicd | 10:23 |
| * industrialbs audibly fails the latest kernel update with all sorts of words you wouldn't hear in polite conversation | 10:23 | |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info wicd | 10:23 |
| ubottu | Package wicd does not exist in intrepid | 10:23 |
| ikonia | industrialbs drop the /me commands please, if you've got a question ask | 10:23 |
| elatio | hey i have a question. in the main gnome bar it has my name as well as a bunch of status options when i click it. | 10:24 |
| elatio | what's this for? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | fryguy: just walking this through in my head, as your desktop and alterntive symptoms are teh same (hang) I actually doesn't believe they are, more an underlying issue thats displaying this in both | 10:24 |
| industrialbs | ikonia: Well I don't really have a question seeing as I don't know what is going wrong where, I'm just saying that the latest one kills my graphics drivers | 10:24 |
| fryguy | ikonia: any idea what that issue might be, and why it seems to only be exemplified in ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| industrialbs | elatio: Such as online away etc ? | 10:25 |
| ikonia | fryguy: I can think of a few things that could cuase this, but they don't tie in well and are a bit random, hence why I'm trying to put it together in my head | 10:25 |
| elatio | yes, i just fiddled around with them and it changes the pidgin status. does it affect other programs? | 10:25 |
| industrialbs | elatio: Nope, only pidgin | 10:25 |
| elatio | ok, thanks. | 10:25 |
| ikonia | fryguy: I have a test that may provide solid info, but it's a bit long winded and I'm not sure on the results, are you up for it ? | 10:25 |
| industrialbs | Well at least I know something :D | 10:26 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i've gone as far as installing linux from scratch from another linux from scratch system that is using an ubuntu-patched kernel, in case something in the ubuntu patches was causing an issue. I'm sure your test isn't as elaborate as that, so I will give it a try | 10:26 |
| ikonia | fryguy: is this machien on a network | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: do you have another pc? | 10:26 |
| fryguy | ikonia: yes | 10:26 |
| esko_ | fryguy, my best quess add kernel option pci=nommconf | 10:26 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: yes, sort of | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: put the hard drive in the other pc, install to it, then move it over to the intended system and boot | 10:27 |
| onetinsoldier | esko_: what is that kernel option? i think i've seen it before, but i don't know what it is | 10:27 |
| * ActionParsnip1 thinks literally outside the box | 10:27 | |
| ikonia | fryguy: what I'd like you to do is boot from the alternative CD, one it starts uset crtl+alt+F2/F3/F4 to swap to a termina, and install the openssh-server package and configure it on the network | 10:27 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip1: freebsd server in closet, and this laptop running freebsd. I don't have a suitable machine for doing a hard drive transfer | 10:27 |
| ikonia | fryguy: from the remove machine I'd like you to open 3 terminals please. | 10:28 |
| onetinsoldier | esko_: is it no memory management conf? | 10:28 |
| fryguy | ikonia: gimme a minute | 10:28 |
| ikonia | fryguy: once you have the 3 terminals open run "iostat 5" in one windows and let it run, run "vmstat 5" in the other and let it run, then swap back to your main installer screen on the console and start the install | 10:28 |
| ikonia | fryguy: you should have 1 terminal spare for debugging | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fryguy: i'd dig out the server or ask a buddy if you can borrow his system | 10:29 |

| vallhalla81 | hi there can anyone tell me where the desktop themes are saved to? | 10:31 |
| onetinsoldier | vallhalla81: in ~/.themes ? | 10:31 |
| ardchoille | vallhalla81: user themes are in ~/.themes and system themes are in /usr/share/themes | 10:32 |
| fryguy | ikonia: do you happen to know the location of the openssh-server .deb on the alternative install cd (i'm assuming i need to dpkg -i it since there is no apt-get at this point) | 10:32 |
| ikonia | fryguy: you need to get it up on the network and then apt-get it, apt-get should be on the livecd | 10:32 |
| vallhalla81 | ardchoille: cool thank you | 10:33 |
| ikonia | fryguy: I could be wrong, but I think it is | 10:33 |
| ardchoille | yw | 10:33 |
| fryguy | ikonia: wait, do you want me to use the livecd or the alternate installer? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | fryguy: alternative | 10:33 |
| fryguy | apt-get isn't on the alternative cd | 10:33 |
| fryguy | at least not that i see, maybe i need to do some additional configuration | 10:33 |
| ikonia | fryguy: I could have sworn it was as thats how it dos the install | 10:33 |
| fryguy | i'm currently at busybox shell on vty2 | 10:34 |
| gizmo_ | my psybnc is nuthin in my terminal | 10:34 |
| gizmo_ | what a waste.. | 10:34 |
| ottoshmidt | is there any GUI menu to list hardware devices? | 10:34 |
| ikonia | I've not got a box to test on myself, | 10:34 |
| Arrowhead212002 | will VMware esxi run on 8.04? | 10:34 |
| onetinsoldier | ottoshmidt: yes.. lshw and hardinfo | 10:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ottoshmidt: sysinfo | 10:34 |
| bazhang | gizmo_, then you should install something from the repos | 10:34 |
| ikonia | fryguy: one moment, let me see if a lab box is free as I would have put money it beingo n the altcd | 10:34 |
| fryguy | ikonia: find / -name *apt* returns /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode ; /bin/apt-install and /var/lib/apt-install | 10:35 |
| gizmo_ | i already read the readme..i cant open the menuconfig | 10:35 |
| * gizmo_ frustrated | 10:35 | |
| vallhalla81 | ardchoille: i dont seem to have ~/.themes | 10:35 |
| ikonia | gizmo_ what are you trying to do ? | 10:35 |
| bazhang | gizmo_, well then I suggest you install the server from the repos as that seems too difficult | 10:35 |
| gizmo_ | bazhang: repos? | 10:36 |
| gizmo_ | how? | 10:36 |
| ardchoille | vallhalla81: that's not a problem, you can create it, it isn't used unless you manually install themes in your home anyway | 10:36 |

| vallhalla81 | ardchoille: thank you for your help | 10:38 |
| ardchoille | vallhalla81: you're welcome | 10:38 |
| vallhalla81 | Arrowhead212002: virtual box | 10:38 |
| fryguy | Arrowhead212002: i don't know of any emulators, but wine is an implementation of the win32 api that you might find helpful, if you are looking for virtualization software, virtualbox is a common choice | 10:39 |
| Arrowhead212002 | *tipshat* thanks | 10:39 |
| fryguy | ikonia: this shell doesn't even have ifconfig. not sure how i'm supposed to configure a network in this environment | 10:39 |
| ikonia | fryguy: you need to progress the installer a little first | 10:39 |
| ikonia | fryguy: it will setup a small install system to do the install on | 10:39 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i'm at the partitioner, do i need to go further? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | fryguy: I was curious on a side note did either a.) kubuntu b.) xubuntu c.) server install work or hang in the same manner | 10:40 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i have not tried those | 10:40 |
| ikonia | fryguy: not sure if it's setup after the partitioning | 10:40 |
| ikonia | fryguy: the other distros I was just curious as a side issue | 10:40 |
| fryguy | ikonia: the only things I have tried are 8.04 32bit 8.04 64 bit 8.10 32bit 8.10 64 bit and the alternative installers for those 4 | 10:40 |
| termos | is there a seperate channel for ubuntu-eee? | 10:41 |

| gizmo_ | adduser: Only root may add a user or group to the system. | 10:42 |
| gizmo_ | <--- | 10:42 |
| ikonia | gizmo_: user sudo | 10:43 |

| suriro | Hello, everytime I start mplayer it changes LCD brightness. How can I stop it doing that? | 10:43 |

| ardchoille | !terminal | gizmo_ | 10:47 |
| ubottu | gizmo_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:47 |

| gizmo_ | but why i cant run psybnc? | 10:53 |
| gizmo_ | maybe im still noob | 10:53 |
| fryguy | gizmo_: a terminal is a program that runs a command line environment, usually spawned by an initial shell, such as bash. This shell allows you to run commands on the system | 10:53 |
| telaviv | fryguy: hmmm. I guess what I'm looking for is to be able to type cd windows/dir/. Where windows is like a 'fake' directory that it goes automatically to. maybe something using ~ or something? | 10:53 |
| gizmo_ | sorry if im confuse you all | 10:53 |
| ardchoille | gizmo_: do you know what psybnc does? | 10:53 |
| fryguy | telaviv: then you want to create a symlink, take a look at the "ln" command | 10:53 |
| ikonia | gizmo_: the documentation and support methods for pbybnc are listed on it's website, please follow them | 10:53 |
| gizmo_ | ardchoille: yes..its like when we dont have time on mrc..but our nick still in mirc..either we offline or offline | 10:53 |

| Neaai | Kozeris: from what it seems I'd think you have sda with sda1(ntfs) and sda2(ntfs) and then sdb with sdb1(ext3) sdb2(ext3) and sdb3(swap). Where have you installed the grub loader ? | 10:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How can i see if im using ati dirvers? | 10:55 |

| fryguy | CoUrPsE|DeAd: i'm not sure of a more straightforward way | 10:55 |
| Lou_ | The problem is: | 10:55 |
| Lou_ | When I start my computer it boots fine, Kubuntu starts loading, and then about 1/4 of the way through the loading process it gives this message: | 10:55 |

| Lou_ | 2 days ago somehow I missed up my computer's USB flashdrive-detecting settings. I think it happened because I tried to get my wireless Internet connection working, but I don't know for sure what I did that could have missed up the USB part of my system. | 10:56 |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, try 'glxinfo' | 10:56 |
| goog | It all happened when i hit "ctrl+alt+backspace" and then my system said it now runs in low graphic mode and i said "configure" and choosed "lcd panel 1280x1024" which is the resolution i always used. | 10:56 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: you can see in a log file... less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:56 |
| fryguy | goog: system | preferences | appearance | 10:56 |

| FluxD | Hi, can anyone suggest me a cli partition editor that allows resizing | 10:57 |
| fryguy | goog: no idea | 10:57 |
| fryguy | FluxD: gparted has a command line interface i think | 10:57 |
| Lou_ | hischild, Sorry, I didn't know. I'm new. | 10:57 |
| FluxD | fryguy, whats it called? | 10:57 |
| hischild | Lou_, np, we all did it once | 10:57 |
| Neaai | goog: when you issue "ls" the writings of the output are in german ? | 10:57 |
| nightmareshadow | i wonder myself how i would get my wireless network card to run on my ubuntu laptop | 10:57 |
| FluxD | !gparted | 10:57 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 10:57 |
| FluxD | !parted | 10:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about parted | 10:58 |
| goog | Neaai: yes | 10:58 |
| FluxD | !partition | 10:58 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 10:58 |
| fryguy | FluxD: gnu parted | 10:58 |
| ikonia | fryguy: when you boot from the livecd, is it totally unusable from teh moment you boot or does it hang say 2 minutes after ? | 10:58 |
| Lou_ | hischild, Would you happen to know the answer to my problem? | 10:58 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: i'm not so sure it's available in Intrepid. it's normally just called, parted. but i don't see it available | 10:58 |
| fryguy | it hangs within 1 second of seeing gnome desktop | 10:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | is glx the ati driver? | 10:58 |
| hischild | Lou_, does it boot fine? | 10:58 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i have to mash ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a vty before my keyboard freezes | 10:58 |
| Lou_ | hischild, nope | 10:59 |
| Neaai | goog: I'd think not only the locale settings for you are in german, but also the binaries are compiled in german, but I'm not sure. if this is the case, to switch to english you'd have to reinstall, I'm affraid. | 10:59 |
| fryguy | CoUrPsE|DeAd: glx is a specification for 3d acceleration | 10:59 |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, no, it is a graphic api | 10:59 |
| ikonia | fryguy: once you have the vty is the keyboard dead in that | 10:59 |
| fryguy | ikonia: nope | 10:59 |
| fryguy | ikonia: keyboard works fine | 10:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Doh! parted is available! i don't know if it's a new addition or what, coulda swore it wasn't there several days ago | 10:59 |
| Neaai | goog: but I'm not sure, you have to confirm and verify this theory. | 10:59 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Coz everytime i boot it says that the config file was not found, it gives me options to boot in low lvl detail, create config or cancel, | 10:59 |
| ikonia | fryguy: from that vty can you "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" | 10:59 |
| fryguy | ikonia: and then it dies as soon as I switch back to gui | 10:59 |
| hischild | Lou_, not sure actually, the channel would be your best bet as i've got to go for a bit. | 10:59 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i then click creare config, and it says use generic config, or customize config, or cancel. | 10:59 |
| fryguy | ikonia: so you want me to get back on the normal installer? | 11:00 |
| goog | Neaai: i think its somehow possible to change gnome to english. but i dont know how. | 11:00 |
| Lou_ | hischild, the channel? | 11:00 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Everything i do doesnt work except boot in low detail mode. | 11:00 |
| Lou_ | hischild, what do you mean? | 11:00 |
| hischild | Lou_, yes. Ask the question, all on one line, without a name with it. If anyone knows, they'll answer. | 11:00 |
| goog | is there some way to reconfigure the display? which driver is used etc? | 11:00 |
| Lou_ | hischild, Ok. Thanks | 11:01 |
| fryguy | goog: you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:01 |
| Neaai | goog: for gnome most probably you'd have to change the locale. | 11:01 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Im assuming im use VESA and not the ati ? | 11:03 |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, probly | 11:03 |
| fryguy | FluxD: i already told you, gnu parted | 11:03 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Hum, how can i tell what drivers there are to choose from? | 11:03 |
| ehama | CoUrPsE|DeAd, I had the same issue and using the command " sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx" I was able to boot with high resolution again. But let others say what they think first. | 11:03 |
| FluxD | fryguy, any other? or a tutorial to use it? | 11:03 |
| Neaai | fryguy: does parted work in textmode only ? | 11:03 |
| onetinsoldier | sasi: i only know for sure it's in ubuntu. might be in debian too | 11:03 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | ehama, So u still run no ati driver then? | 11:04 |
| sasi | bazhang, yes in debian while building using live-helper | 11:04 |
| fryguy | FluxD: it comes with documentation, also just look at the homepage for the project: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/index.shtml | 11:04 |
| bazhang | sasi, ask in #debian not here | 11:04 |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, what video card do you have? | 11:04 |
| ehama | CoUrPsE|DeAd, yes I have never been able to enable 3d acceleration | 11:04 |
| industrialbs | How do I get the kernel sources using apt-get ? | 11:05 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | radeon 9700 pro. | 11:05 |
| Neaai | industrialbs: most probably you're needing build-essentials | 11:05 |
| ehama | CoUrPsE|DeAd, and I've got a Radeon Mobility 9000 on HP nx9110 notebook. | 11:05 |
| sasi | onetinsoldier, you are telling at the time of logging in | 11:05 |

| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: did you say that you installed the proprietary ati driver? or are you trying to use a built-in(comes with ubuntu and Xorg) Xorg driver? | 11:14 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | um. | 11:14 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i tried to install a proprietary driver i think. | 11:14 |
| GarethAdams | Hey, `ssh remote.example.com -R 8080:orion:80` should make localhost:8080 on my local machine forward to orion:80 from the remote server's point of view, right? | 11:15 |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, yes it is using your ati card (and the fglrx driver) | 11:15 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: were you supposed to post your xorg.conf file, because that's not it... that's the Xorg log file... but still a good one for people to look at | 11:16 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | whoops. | 11:16 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | sorry, thought u wanted log file. | 11:16 |
| * CoUrPsE|DeAd posts xorg.conf | 11:16 | |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the output of 'glxinfo | head -10' | 11:16 |

| absence | hi! everything was fine with my ubuntu install, but after i moved, completely regular LAN networking does not work. it works in windows, but not ubuntu. does anyonw know what could be wrong and how i can troubleshoot it? | 11:17 |
| onetinsoldier | pixelated: what makes you think he X is using the fglrx driver? looks like vesa driver to me | 11:17 |
| kbrooks | GarethAdams, no | 11:17 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | http://pastebin.com/m4f4c347f | 11:18 |
| kbrooks | GarethAdams, -L does that | 11:18 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | That xorg file looks bare... | 11:18 |
| GarethAdams | kbrooks: ah, thanks | 11:18 |
| kbrooks | GarethAdams: but | 11:18 |
| pixelated | onetinsoldier, read a bit above where the VESA stuff starts and it says it loads the fglrx driver | 11:19 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: i know how to get that fixed(the bare xorg.conf file).. but it concerns taking several steps | 11:19 |
| onetinsoldier | pixelated: ok.. perhaps i missed it. sorry. let me take a closer look | 11:19 |
| GarethAdams | kbrooks: but? | 11:20 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, go gentle, im newb. | 11:20 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | :( | 11:20 |
| kbrooks | GarethAdams: -R means remote. so 8080 is on the server, not on the local machine. so in other words, there must be a host named orion on your network for that to work | 11:20 |
| fryguy | ikonia: | 11:20 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: roger... i'll be back in a few | 11:20 |
| Algyz | And why swap uuid changing after restart, maybe this is the reason, why it is not mounted? | 11:20 |

| axyjo | hi all, is it just me or are the apt servers slow today? | 11:25 |
| pixelated | CoUrPsE|DeAd, in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:25 |
| Arrowhead212002 | no i agree with you | 11:25 |
| Arrowhead212002 | they are a lil slow | 11:25 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Now, if i put that in the xorg.conf | 11:26 |
| tiyowan | axyjo: I'm experiencing severe lag today. | 11:26 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | can i run glxinfo straight afterwards to check if its worked? | 11:26 |
| axyjo | Arrowhead212002: they're a lot slow.. my apts are coming in at 4KBps! | 11:26 |
| onetinsoldier | pixelated: that looks good, but he needs a good starting point imo. by that i mean a configured xorg.conf file besides just the driver section | 11:26 |
| absence | networking in ubuntu has suddenly stopped working. everything was fine with my ubuntu install, but after i moved, completely regular LAN networking does not work. it works in windows, but not ubuntu. does anyonw know what could be wrong and how i can troubleshoot it? | 11:27 |

| shavin | I just downloaded a number of updates to my ubuntu 8.10, Now firefox has started bahving strangely. A message bar pops up that firefox has been updated and requires a restart, and yet if i restart firefox the same appears again! | 11:36 |
| fryguy | Quintin: no, they are standard 7200rpm sata drives, i just have a lot of them | 11:36 |
| pixelated | axyjo, yeah drop the modem and get high speed inet? | 11:36 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: i know how to fix that | 11:36 |
| Quintin | axyjo: uhm... that's probably a slow internet connection | 11:36 |
| Quintin | fryguy: elaborate? | 11:36 |
| fryguy | Quintin: raid array of them | 11:36 |
| unop | axyjo, use a different mirror | 11:36 |
| ikonia | fryguy: sorry, was just on the phone | 11:36 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Um. | 11:37 |
| Hikefu | shavin, try killall firefox from the terminal and then start it again. See if it goes away. | 11:37 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, Were you still gunna help me with xorg.conf? | 11:37 |
| Quintin | fryguy: I said 2 physical disks :P you didn't even do test right | 11:37 |
| shavin | would a system restart solve something? additionally this firefox is very buggy too, it freezes a lot and there is a second or two of corrupted graphics before the window is displayed right in the beginning when it is started | 11:37 |
| ikonia | fryguy: what does the gdm log show ? | 11:37 |
| fryguy | ikonia: i went back to the alternative install while you were gone, and managed to get it to complete, no idea how | 11:37 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: in a terminal, go into your home directory. then type in mv .mozilla .mozilla-restart | 11:37 |
| ikonia | fryguy how odd | 11:37 |
| axyjo | pixelated: meh, i've got a 1mbps connection, can't afford anything faster in a country with the second most expensive internet (apparently) | 11:37 |
| shavin | okay | 11:37 |
| Quintin | I have a sw RAID0 with 2x80gb and a 500gb , but it's still not fast enough :( | 11:37 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: close Firefox first | 11:37 |
| fryguy | ikonia: and now i'm having the same graphical issue on an installed system lol | 11:37 |
| axyjo | unop: i've tried 3, all of them are slow. | 11:37 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: i can... yes | 11:37 |
| fryguy | ikonia: doing updates now, and installing the restricted driver from cli to see if that resolves it | 11:37 |
| axyjo | Quintin: all of the other apps on the same system are normal | 11:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | That would be cool if ya did, :) | 11:38 |
| unop | axyjo, ok, what is "slow" ? | 11:38 |
| fryguy | Quintin: I copied between 2 block devices :/ | 11:38 |
| Quintin | fryguy: from the raid to the raid? Or from raid to a diff disk? | 11:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Or was what pixelated pasted going to work fine? | 11:38 |
| fryguy | Quintin: from one raid array to another | 11:39 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok.. roger. np. you mentioned Fedora. you said you are kinda newb but it actually sounds like you have some linux experience | 11:39 |
| Quintin | fryguy: ah. how many disks do you have? hw or sw? | 11:39 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah, but not much. | 11:39 |
| fryguy | one of them is hw, i haven't ported it over to sw yet, one of them i just finished porting over to sw the other day | 11:39 |
| fryguy | Quintin: 5 disks each | 11:39 |
| Quintin | fryguy: in one box? I want to see your case. :P you prefer sw to hw? | 11:40 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: roger... save waht pixelated showed you in a separate file all on it's own for now | 11:40 |
| onetinsoldier | what* | 11:40 |
| fryguy | Quintin: zfs is better than any hardware solution i've seen. | 11:40 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | done. | 11:40 |
| fryguy | Quintin: it's a lot better than the software raid setups that ubuntu/linux provides | 11:41 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i had already stuck it in xorg.conf, i just made xorg.conf-bak | 11:41 |
| === Xtyn is now known as Skeptic | ||

| moijk | the bluefish from cvs asks for a gnome_vfs for url-wrappers. how do i install that, if not already there with the system - then how to configure it? | 11:41 |
| onetinsoldier | pixelated: ok. roger. perhaps that will work without all the steps i was going to have him do | 11:41 |
| fryguy | Quintin: faster, better data redundancy, more flexible for file sharing and disk reallocation, on the fly quota/compression/reservation support | 11:42 |
| pixelated | onetinsoldier, yeah thats why i offered it ;') | 11:42 |
| pixelated | <-- former org.conf guy for a ppc distro of linux ;') | 11:42 |
| Quintin | fryguy: what do you need such great disk thruput for? | 11:42 |

| Quintin | fryguy: So is your / on zfs? | 11:43 |

| pixelated | onetinsoldier, yeah my knowledge is more using ADB or USB kb's and the such, which i would bet he doesnt have ADB kb | 11:44 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: put this all down in a file in your home dir.... ok? you know how to use 'less', correct? | 11:44 |
| pkd | in which programming language is a c compiler written? | 11:44 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yep. | 11:44 |
| onetinsoldier | pixelated: roger | 11:44 |
| pkd | plz | 11:44 |
| fryguy | Flannel: is mentioning nexenta ontopic, or should I bring that to offtopic as well (since it uses ubuntu repositories) | 11:45 |
| pixelated | pkd, usually c | 11:45 |
| pkd | how is that possible | 11:45 |
| Flannel | fryguy: If it's support related, it's on topic. | 11:45 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok, give me just a minute here ok? | 11:45 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yep, np. | 11:45 |
| quanlitruong | I can uses LCD LG 17in with resolutinon 1440 x 900 in Ubuntu, hic hic :( | 11:46 |
| pkd | which language did K & R use to write their c compiler> | 11:46 |
| pixelated | pkd, nothing magical, just takes c source in and put binary out, older version compiles newer version of c compiler | 11:46 |
| pixelated | pkd, they used K&R C | 11:46 |
| Quintin | fryguy: What is the rest of the hardware? | 11:46 |
| Flannel | pkd: It's called bootstrapping, and there's a few ways to do it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers) briefly covers a few of them, but this isn't really topical. You should try #ubuntu-offtopic instead | 11:46 |
| fryguy | Quintin: if you are looking at other data integrity solutions and still want the general feel of ubuntu, the nexenta project is a port of the solaris kernel to the ubuntu repositories, to get over the licensing restriction of zfs. It's goal is to basically allow one to use the zfs filesystem in ubuntu. Something worth considering for data integrity | 11:46 |
| pkd | thank u for this help | 11:47 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok,as i said, several steps to take here. you will be leaving x-windows and shutting it down. then firing it back up when your are done. | 11:47 |
| pixelated | pkd, or the channel #C | 11:47 |
| Quintin | fryguy: is your setup raid5 like? I'm using sw raid0. My concern is SPEED, not data integrity. I hate waiting on computer | 11:47 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | okies. | 11:47 |
| unop | pkd, this might help - http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/chist.html | 11:48 |
| pixelated | onetinsoldier, is ddrprobe still around? or is there another way to get monitor specs? | 11:48 |
| fryguy | Quintin: it's raidz, a proprietary implementation of raid similar to raid5 that doesn't have the write hole, and provides a bunch of other features, some of which i mentioned | 11:48 |
| esko_ | pkd, you can compile c in your brains too | 11:48 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: 1) Log out of X 2) Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 3) Login at console 4) sudo -i 5) invoke-rc.d gdm stop ...there's more | 11:49 |
| pkd | how is that dude | 11:49 |

| pixelated | pkd, you need to read a good book on the subject, google 'compiler dragon book' | 11:51 |
| fryguy | pixelated: scroll up about 10 lines :) | 11:51 |
| shavin | and the momentary graphics ccorruption when the firefox window is displayed at start is still there too | 11:51 |

| pixelated | fryguy, heh 30 years of computer use and i still dont know how to touch type... maybe one of these days i will elarn | 11:52 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: ok... close out Firefox. in your home directory type in the following.... rm -r .mozilla ...then mv .mozilla-restart .mozilla | 11:52 |
| shavin | onetimsoldier: i have alreaady restarted the system. should i still do it? | 11:52 |

| onetinsoldier | shavin: yes | 11:53 |
| shavin | okay | 11:53 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok, good | 11:53 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Is there more or shall i do that now? | 11:53 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: that will get you your stuff back but it means i don't know how to solve the original problem | 11:53 |
| ehama | It seems that 3d acceleration with my graphic card (Radeon 9000 Mobility) is only available with Mesa drivers. Is it worth trying? Like compiling X-Server and DRI etc. Or is it likely that I may crash the screen? Since the guides are scattered I think I may miss some points. | 11:53 |
| vermont | every time I open firefox it goes full screen and I can't even minimize it or get to my taskbars | 11:54 |
| shavin | onetinsoldier: okay thats done. should i restart ff now? | 11:55 |
| ehama | vermont, that seems the new bug in 3.0.5. I had the same issue. | 11:55 |
| ikonia | ehama: recompiling X won't change anything | 11:55 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: 8) invoke-rc.d gdm start ....then come back here. i hope i haven't left anything out, i don't think i have | 11:55 |
| vermont | ehama, was there a workaround? | 11:55 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: yes, sure | 11:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | k, go now? | 11:55 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: yep, good luck! | 11:55 |
| ehama | ikonia, but it says using the "--with-mesa-source=/path/to/mesa " will enable opengl support. | 11:55 |

| === EugenMayer is now known as EugenMayer`aw | ||
| shavin | onetinsoldier: momentary corrupted graphics at startup of firefox are there, the message bar 'restart required' is still there too. | 11:56 |
| fryguy | CAiRO: try running gvim instead, or vim.gnome -g | 11:56 |
| pixelated | CAiRO, gvim | 11:56 |
| ehama | vermont, seems like renaming .mozilla folder first, then running firefox, and again renaming it to .mozilla and running again seems to solve the problem. | 11:56 |
| fryguy | CAiRO: or run :gui after it initially starts up | 11:56 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: as i said.. it would get you your stuff back, but i do not know how to solve the original problem | 11:57 |
| CAiRO | fryguy: ah, ok, i can put that in my .vimrc | 11:57 |
| CAiRO | thanks | 11:57 |
| vermont | ehama, nvm...pressing f11 works | 11:57 |
| shavin | Oh yes, chatzilla etc have returned , well thats good | 11:57 |
| CAiRO | i want to type vi to start vi.. and right now vi starts vim.gnome | 11:57 |
| ehama | ikonia, so do you think there is another way to enable 3d acceleration? | 11:57 |
| ehama | vermont, but every time I restart the buttons still seemed inaccessable. Maybe you don't have that problem. | 11:58 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: ok, that's good. you will have to find someone else that hopefully know how to fix your 'restart required' problem. sorry | 11:58 |
| shavin | onetinsoldier: thanks for your help. | 11:59 |
| onetinsoldier | shavin: ok, good luck | 11:59 |

| aoupi | Bullterd: I guess you could get the time in milliseconds remove 7*24*60*1000(or whatever it is) and convert back to date | 12:25 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: nvm.... there were errors. no need to reboot unless it successfully installs | 12:25 |
| ardchoille | Stiggy: are you using compiz? | 12:25 |
| Stiggy | yes | 12:25 |
| Defined | ikonia: at the top of the log is says syslogd bla bla Restart, and that was at 7:50am this morning | 12:26 |
| aoupi | Bullterd: but that would screw up daylight savings and leap years | 12:26 |
| CAiRO | my locally installed packages have "/var/lib/dpkg/status" as source | 12:26 |
| Defined | its now 2:25pm | 12:26 |
| Bullterd | -c doesnt appear to be a valids wich | 12:26 |
| CAiRO | but only get a score of "100" | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Defined log rotation | 12:26 |
| CAiRO | how can i change that? | 12:26 |
| ardchoille | Stiggy: try avant window navigator: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator | 12:26 |
| ornatespork | Hey, I'm very sorry to ask such a broad question, but is anyone out there willing to explain to me, in language simpler than used on Wikipedia, what exactly makes switching to Ubuntu worth it? I've been a Mac user all my life, and I'm thinking about going to a different OS, and I've heard good things about Ubuntu, but I know next to nothing about it. If it's too big of a question, please don't mind me. | 12:26 |
| aoupi | Bullterd: no wait, it wouldn't nevermind the last part :D | 12:26 |
| Stiggy | ok, thanks :D | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Bullterd: date --date"7 days ago" | 12:26 |
| onetinsoldier | pixelated: where did you go? | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Bullterd: date --date="7 days ago" | 12:27 |
| Bullterd | ikonia: Are you joking?! | 12:27 |
| h4cker_ | Hey people I got a question, for a usb drive what would be the best file system to use for ubuntu and windows? | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Bullterd nope | 12:27 |
| Bullterd | haha | 12:27 |
| fosco__ | ornatespork: too big, just try it and decide :) | 12:27 |
| Bullterd | Thats genius | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Bullterd: date --date="yesterday" | 12:27 |
| Bullterd | ikonia: Cheers Buddy | 12:27 |
| Stiggy | hmm, gives me some error, will try the package manager | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Bullterd: date --date="next day" | 12:27 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | k. | 12:27 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | No errors. | 12:27 |
| aoupi | ikonia: hah! that's awemose | 12:27 |
| Bullterd | can I format it how I want though ? | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Bullterd: date --date='2 year ago' etc etc | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Bullterd: date +%m+d+%y | 12:28 |
| piiile | <h4cker_> probably FAT32 | 12:28 |
| ikonia | for eample | 12:28 |
| Bullterd | date '+\%d-\%B-\%Y' | 12:28 |
| ikonia | example | 12:28 |
| Bullterd | Thats my current one | 12:28 |
| onetinsoldier | h4cker_: they usually come formatted as fat16, which hsould be fine. but i think if you reformat it as fat32 that would be fine too | 12:28 |
| ikonia | date '+\%d-\%B-\%Y' --date="next day" | 12:28 |
| onetinsoldier | should* | 12:28 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | glxinfo brings up a whole lot of stuff now and doesnt error. | 12:28 |
| Bullterd | That quality | 12:28 |
| Bullterd | Again, Cheers Guys | 12:28 |
| ornatespork | Once again, sorry to be a complete newbie and ask these kinds of questions, but 1) am I able to install it on my mac computer? If so, how? 2) is there any risk to my current OS/ files/ etc. if I install a different/second system? | 12:28 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: good! | 12:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 12:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | how do i change mouse cursor ? | 12:29 |
| h4cker_ | Thanks <piiile & onetinsoldier> | 12:29 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, :)) was there anything else to do? | 12:29 |
| allsystemsarego | ikonia, how about date --date="25 days from now" | 12:29 |
| ehama | vermont, sorry I was afk. I'm ready to listen. | 12:29 |
| onetinsoldier | h4cker_: you're welcome :-) | 12:29 |
| ikonia | allsystemsarego try it | 12:30 |
| M4RC0 | hi (hola) | 12:30 |
| allsystemsarego | ikonia, I just did, "date: invalid date `25 days from now'" | 12:30 |
| piiile | stupid question about irc: how can you get all channels displayed? | 12:30 |
| piiile | "/help" doesn't mention anything | 12:31 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | in mirc? | 12:31 |
| NET||abuse | quick helper out on postfix issue, need to up the max message_size_limit from 10240000 to 20Mb, postfix has a default limit set that it must take from somewhere else, but /etc/postfix/main.cf doesn't have that option set, | 12:31 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i can help, not in mirc i cant. | 12:31 |
| ikonia | allsystemsarego date --date='25 days' is what you want | 12:31 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: notthat i can think of right now. perhaps enable the Composite Extension. but that might not do much for you right now as you are just using the vesa driver. however, now that i think about it you might want to specify the radeon driver or whatever is the proper one for a Radeon 9700. | 12:31 |
| NET||abuse | can i just add message_size_limit to main.cf without borking up the config? | 12:31 |
| allsystemsarego | ikonia, ty | 12:31 |
| h4cker_ | U know what I love so much about Ubuntu is how it brings people together! | 12:31 |
| The_Undisputable | hi all, is there any way to send data of any errors when i run live cd....... | 12:31 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah, i wanna be able to use my radeon correctly. | 12:32 |
| odog777 | woah theres a grip of people in here | 12:32 |
| Subdolus | I just wanna run two different programs that use audio | 12:32 |
| Subdolus | :( | 12:32 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: unless you want to skip the Radeon driver because you want to get the fglrx driver going... that's up to you | 12:32 |
| Subdolus | like voip client and movie player | 12:32 |
| h4cker_ | Ubuntu = Humanity to others! | 12:32 |
| fde | ornatespork: Ubuntu dropped official support for PPC afaik... as for the Intel Mac's, you would have to resize partitions more than likely, but if you create space, and ensure it doesn't touch your Mac partition during install, you'd be fine (perhaps throw another hard drive in? although GRUB can't boot off of USB devices afaik, and most Macs can't be modified) | 12:32 |
| Subdolus | halp | 12:32 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | well aint the radio drivers now called fglrx ? | 12:32 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | radeon* | 12:32 |
| === bening is now known as DwiTa | ||
| DwiTa | nop one | 12:33 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | atm, im back at stage one if its using VESA driver. | 12:33 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: the 'proprietary' drivers from ati is called flgrx. but it's not the only driver on the block(available) | 12:33 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: the none free drivers always were, yes... there is also radeon and radeonhd which are open source alternatives which AMD are working on to rival Intel and the 'intel' driver | 12:33 |
| vermont | ehama: I just went to compiz --> workarounds--> disabled legacy fullscreen | 12:34 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Well how do i go bout installing any of these? | 12:34 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: the open-source one from Xorg is just 'radeon' i believe. | 12:34 |
| fde | !radeon > CoUrPsE|DeAd | 12:34 |
| ubottu | CoUrPsE|DeAd, please see my private message | 12:34 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah, thats what i had installed, and you just told me to uninstall em, :( | 12:34 |
| * fde told you nothing | 12:34 | |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Well... | 12:34 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | what i was trying to instal. | 12:35 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | lol. | 12:35 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | not you, :) | 12:35 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | And im not moaning, im just saying, :) | 12:35 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: the radeon driver is probably already installed. however, it just sits there, until it's specified in your xorg.conf file | 12:35 |
| CAiRO | why does this pinning configuration not work: Package: * \n Pin: origin /var/lib/dpkg/status \n Pin-Priority: 600 | 12:35 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Humm k. | 12:35 |
| fde | onetinsoldier: it shouldn't need specifying these days :/ | 12:35 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How can i find out if it is installed? | 12:35 |
| odog777 | are there really almost 1300 people in this room? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | odog777 yes | 12:36 |
| odog777 | fuck | 12:36 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: go into System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ... it the Radeon driver listed atm? | 12:36 |
| fde | is* | 12:36 |
| odog777 | thats a small city dude | 12:36 |
| ikonia | odog777 that language is not called for or weclome | 12:36 |

| ubottu | odog777: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 12:36 |
| onetinsoldier | fde: well, frommy experience so far, it seems like it does. i could be wrong here tho! wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last | 12:36 |
| odog777 | lol @ family friendly | 12:36 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | fde, nope. | 12:36 |
| DwiTa | gnome is good | 12:37 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: dpkg -l | grep fglrx <-- returns anything? | 12:37 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | says no propierty drivers are in use on this syste,m. | 12:37 |
| fde | DwiTa: Gnome is boring but has lots of money behind it... | 12:37 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: yes... dpkg -l '*radeon*' | less | 12:37 |
| odog777 | i apoligize ikonia | 12:37 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | fde, returns 4 lines, want me to pastebin? | 12:37 |
| Kelen | early christmas to everyone. lol | 12:37 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: sure | 12:37 |
| * fde wants to ensure one is the xorg support | 12:38 | |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: would you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file now that it's been configured by Xorg -configure ? | 12:38 |
| odog777 | does anybody know if there is any difference in performance between ktorrent, transmission, vuze, etc? | 12:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | ned #ubuntu | 12:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | <Kelen> early christmas to everyone. lol | 12:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, sure, one sec. | 12:39 |
| odog777 | i'm only interested in download performance | 12:39 |
| fde | odog777: no idea what vuze is... people like deluge though, but the best in your list is likely ktorrent for features | 12:39 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | oh wtf. | 12:39 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | how did i paste that... | 12:39 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | lol. | 12:39 |
| odog777 | yeah i like ktorrent a lot...that's what I'm using at the moment | 12:39 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | http://pastebin.com/m5e093748 | 12:39 |
| Kelen | CoUrPsE|DeAd: Do not copy my christmas.. lol | 12:39 |
| allsystemsarego | odog777, vuze is a memory hog | 12:39 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i dont even know how it got in my clipboard... | 12:39 |
| fde | odog777: they're torrent clients... how exactly do you expect them to differ in speeds? you have any idea how torrent works? | 12:39 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: it's because you are trying to go to fast.. slow downa little | 12:40 |
| odog777 | yes fde I do have any idea how torrents work | 12:40 |
| === FreddyGonzo is now known as minimec | ||
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | http://pastebin.com/m56e922b9 | 12:40 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Thats alot nicer looking .conf file. | 12:41 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: yeah, paste the xorg.conf file now (sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit) | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | You can do 'pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' :) | 12:41 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok.. apparently you installed the fglrx driver through apt-get or aptitude or Synaptic Package Manager... you need to do something a little different here | 12:41 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: try changing where it says "radeon" in all that mess of a "Driver" section with "fglrx" and restart X | 12:41 |
| fde | onetinsoldier: if you recommend getting it elsewhere, I'm going to be angry :P | 12:42 |
| odog777 | condescension | 12:42 |
| onetinsoldier | fde: his /usr/share/ati/flgrx-install.log had errors | 12:42 |
| browdigger | hai ubunteros | 12:42 |
| browdigger | I'm a recent convert | 12:42 |
| browdigger | and have a nagging question | 12:42 |

| FloodBot1 | browdigger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:43 |
| odog777 | ask fde he's the real pro | 12:43 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | wow, that pastebinit is cool. | 12:43 |
| fde | odog777: so you should understand that it just depends on how many people are seeding the file as to speed, not the client itself | 12:43 |
| odog777 | i am aware of that fde | 12:43 |
| * fde wishes they'd install it by default | 12:43 | |
| fde | odog777: then why are you asking which client is better based on download speed? | 12:44 |
| Athena28 | Hola | 12:44 |
| odog777 | forget it | 12:44 |
| fde | odog777: anyway, try deluge and ktorrent... see which you like better | 12:44 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I still like, see no options for dual head. | 12:44 |
| onetinsoldier | fde: and the version he has installed according to dpkg is an old version.. probably doesn't work with the 2.6.27 kernel... that's why he had errors in his /usr/share/ati/flgrx-install.log | 12:45 |
| odog777 | yeah I might give deluge a shot....i am pretty satisfied with features that ktorrent provides though | 12:45 |
| elpablo | salut tout le monde | 12:45 |

| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 12:49 |
| elpablo | thank you | 12:49 |
| cmv583 | fde: I am having trouble with firefox and can't get any help in #firefox | 12:50 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: dpkg --purge fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source fglrx-modaliases xorg-driver-fglrx | 12:50 |
| fde | odog777: intel x86_64 is EMT64... but it was based on AMD64... amd64 was already the arch name within Debian, so they stuck with it to define both | 12:50 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: that will get rid of that OLD version | 12:50 |
| fde | cmv583: ok.. that isn't a question though | 12:51 |

| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: yes.. i didn't know what you had for the fglrx driver. that version won't work | 12:51 |
| odog777 | well i dont know but ubuntu 8.10 64 crashed when i tried to install it on my intel dual core t3200 laptop but 32 bit version installed just fine? | 12:51 |
| fde | cmv583: right click the menu... is "Navigation Bar" checked? | 12:51 |

| ActionParsnip1 | yo yo yo | 12:52 |
| viraptor | let's say a system does 60% wait with just one process (many threads) - how can I check what kind of operations is it waiting on? | 12:52 |
| fde | cmv583: hmm, hit customize and try adding those things back? | 12:52 |
| cmv583 | fde: BRB | 12:52 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: you're welcome.. hehe. the fglrx driver os not small. it will take you a while to download it :-( | 12:52 |
| odog777 | well black screen with some text output I didn't understand and unresponsive to any input | 12:52 |

| mrS | how to install kde3 on 8.10 ? | 12:53 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: you uninstall the old one yet? | 12:53 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | kde3 or kd3? | 12:53 |
| scientes | how do i sidt-upgrade from hardy to intrepid from command line? | 12:53 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, yep, and removed. | 12:53 |
| fde | mrS: ask in #kubuntu ... I'm pretty sure you can't though... although 8.04 is supported for 3 years | 12:53 |
| mrS | kde 3.5.x | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mrS: you have to compile the source | 12:53 |
| CAiRO | oh dear, "Pin: release a=now" did the trick.. who should have known that? | 12:53 |
| mrS | will check | 12:53 |
| mrS | got the answer | 12:54 |
| fde | CAiRO: you after a quick google search, probably | 12:54 |
| odog777 | i dont mind the ubuntu 32 bit but it seems like sort of a waste when i got a dual core 64 bit processor | 12:54 |
| Abhishek | i am very new to linux. i have a .py file how can i build it on my ubuntu 8.10. | 12:54 |
| fde | scientes: the recommended way it 'update-manager -d' ... | 12:54 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok.. good. now. just so i know everything is going to be on the up-and-up with your kernel when it comes time to install the fglrx driver. i want you to reboot now. then come back here, of course | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | scientes: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades (change LTS to normal); sudo do-release-upgrade | 12:55 |
| fde | scientes: wait, scratch that | 12:55 |
| ikonia | ogre_: depends what the text output said I guess | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | scientes: some of that is instruction | 12:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | reboot completely? or just X | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | scientes: so dont copy it as a command | 12:55 |
| odog777 | ubuntu 32 beats the shit of vista 64 thats for damn sure.....I am running a dual boot | 12:55 |
| odog777 | beats the shit out of | 12:55 |
| scientes | it would work fine if you did | 12:55 |
| ikonia | odog777 I've warned you about your langageu | 12:56 |
| ikonia | language | 12:56 |
| fde | Abhishek: uhh... 'python whatever.py' ... you don't need to build anything | 12:56 |
| odog777 | my bad | 12:56 |
| bening | dual boot.. heemm i am running single | 12:56 |
| Abhishek | ow will it run | 12:56 |
| Abhishek | fde:*how | 12:56 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: reboot completely. i want to be certain there won't be any problem with the kernel module unloading/loading since you just uninstalled a kernel module type of driver | 12:56 |
| hischild | which channel do i go to for translations? | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | odog777: the amount of bits is moot for a desktop OS | 12:57 |
| odog777 | i split my hard drive fifty - fifty between vista and ubuntu | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | odog777: only really depends on memory amount in the system but encoding can benefit from 64bit ness | 12:57 |
| Laibsch | Hi | 12:57 |
| odog777 | i do a lot of encoding | 12:57 |

| fde | Abhishek: what do you mean "then"... just do what I told you :/ | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Danny-aka-Recce not here, #ubuntu is not a freenode channel directory | 12:59 |
| Laibsch | I have a problem with update-grub. It keeps generating an incorrect menu.lst. It correctly identifies the kernel 2.6.24-22, but it still write 2.6.24-19 to menu.lst. The system is thus unbootable without manual intervention. Where is update-grub getting that incorrect information from? | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | odog777: devvede makes nice dvds you can even make menu systems too | 12:59 |
| Danny-aka-Recce | Ikonia I'm fairly new to IRCs what's a freenode channel directory? | 12:59 |
| Abhishek | fde: but you havent told me any thing | 12:59 |
| Rabbitbunny | ubuntu 8.10, nvidia fx5500, KDS 19". it's running at 640*480, it does ~1900*1200 under windows. System > Preferences > Screen Resolution offers no other sizes. I thought we weren't supposed to have to mess with xorg.conf anymore? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Danny-aka-Recce a yellow pages of freenode channels | 12:59 |
| adam7 | Abhishek: run your python file with python nameoffile.py at the command line | 13:00 |
| fde | Abhishek: I told you to type "python yourapp.py | 13:00 |
| Danny-aka-Recce | Sorry let me be more specific what's a freenode channel? | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Laibsch: verify you have the expected kernel and manually modify menu.lst, if it doesnt boot, boot to root console and change it back | 13:00 |
| CAiRO | fde: it wasnt particularly quick since none of the pinning guides mentioned it | 13:00 |
| adam7 | Danny-aka-Recce: it's what you're in now :) | 13:00 |

| odog777 | i do my downloading in ubuntu ( no tcp inbound limit although tcip.sys can be modified) and my dvd burning in vista 64 | 13:00 |
| CAiRO | fde: i only guessed it from reading some code snippet | 13:00 |
| Danny-aka-Recce | thanks. Where could I find a directory of channels? | 13:00 |
| CAiRO | and nobody in here or in #debian knew it either | 13:00 |

| adam7 | Abhishek: you can install the tk package -- it's called python-tk | 13:02 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: oh? that could be that the removalof the fglrx driver removed some glx type files | 13:02 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, Think we just went backwards, :( | 13:02 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: don't worry | 13:02 |
| Abhishek | fde: how ??? | 13:02 |
| adam7 | !terminal | Abhishek | 13:02 |
| ubottu | Abhishek: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 13:02 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: if you really want the fglrx driver.. this will be all fixed up. | 13:03 |
| Danny-aka-Recce | Thanks everyone | 13:03 |
| fde | Abhishek: sudo aptitude install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search python.tk | 13:03 |
| adam7 | Abhishek: open the terminal, then type "python nameofmyfile.py" without the quotes, and replacing nameofmyfile.py with the real name of your file | 13:03 |
| fde | !find python.tk | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Found: python-dbg, python-tk, python-tk-dbg, python-tksnack | 13:03 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Well i do now, since the normal ones dont like it either now. | 13:03 |
| adam7 | fde: python.tk is probably in python-tk | 13:03 |

| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: are you running x86? or x86_64?(amd64) | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | adam7: what about apt-build ? ;) | 13:05 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | x86. | 13:05 |
| sky_ | good afternoon | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lo sky_ | 13:05 |
| adam7 | joanna: man nameofcsomething (ie, man printf) | 13:05 |
| adam7 | I think should do it... | 13:06 |
| sky_ | :] | 13:06 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok.. go here and make sure you pick x_86... http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html | 13:06 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | the .run file? | 13:06 |
| fde | ActionParsnip1: apt-file is not even comparable to apt-build... apt-file is just apt-cache for contents of files | 13:06 |

| Ward1983 | fde, so i can also use apt-file to find out what package i need i have a error like this? Can't locate Gnome2/Vte.pm in @INC | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fde: I know but apt-build is a little more hardcore than apt-get, it was a joke | 13:06 |
| joanna | adam7 for some man entries i have result for example for printf it is ok | 13:07 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, I've got ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run on hdd already. | 13:07 |

| Ward1983 | ffs now he leaves lol | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !cron | sidelil | 13:09 |

| Ward1983 | apt-file --help is confusing | 13:10 |
| allsystemsarego | sidelil, you need to use full paths inside cron | 13:10 |
| Ward1983 | ok sudo apt-get uninstall apt-file for it seems to be pure crap | 13:10 |
| onetinsoldier | adam7: yes..but it's the only way to get a good working fglrx for kernel 2.6.27. i use it with no issues, andthe uninstaller script for it works fine | 13:10 |

| icesword | sky_, then he should go to windows# | 13:11 |
| mib_hemrdo | aoupi: sorry, i am not familiar with how to do that | 13:11 |
| sky_ | yes | 13:11 |
| onetinsoldier | adam7: ha, i've enver seen the scripted installer make a .deb on a debian based system yet. it always coughs, spits up and puts out errors | 13:11 |
| sky_ | mount ntfs | 13:11 |
| mib_hemrdo | hiw | 13:12 |
| sky_ | and then go to ntfs and copy | 13:12 |
| mib_hemrdo | how | 13:12 |
| adam7 | mib_hemrdo: Ubuntu can mount a ntfs parition by default | 13:12 |

| ikonia | FluxD what type of raid are you using ? | 13:39 |
| ikonia | FluxD: fakeraid ? | 13:39 |
| FluxD | ikonia, raid 0 | 13:39 |
| rjune_ | ugh, that's fakeraid | 13:39 |
| ikonia | FluxD: what radi technologyu | 13:39 |
| ikonia | rjune_: raid 0 is not fakeraid | 13:39 |
| FluxD | FluxD, I have raid card | 13:39 |
| ikonia | FluxD: what model | 13:39 |
| rjune_ | well, not technically, but raid0 does nothing for redundancy | 13:39 |
| Bluey_ | JasonosaJ: 2.1.0 | 13:39 |
| ikonia | rjune_: fakerade has nothing to do with redundancy - so it's not technically wrong - it's wrong | 13:39 |
| * ActionParsnip1 hates fakeraid | 13:40 | |
| ce_kecut | hi | 13:40 |
| * rjune_ hates raid0 more. I love my data | 13:40 | |

| ikonia | FluxD 3 ware what ? | 13:41 |
| rjune_ | they make a fakeraid card? | 13:41 |
| ikonia | FluxD: sorry, need to be specific | 13:41 |
| ikonia | rjune_: no they don't | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | FluxD: can you give the single line identifying it in lspci output | 13:42 |
| ikonia | rjune_: who said it was fake raid ? | 13:42 |
| rjune_ | didn't think so. | 13:42 |
| rjune_ | nobody. | 13:42 |
| ikonia | rjune_: so what are you going on about ? | 13:42 |

| FluxD | ActionParsnip1, ikonia RAID bus controller: 3ware Inc 7xxx/8xxx-series PATA/SATA-RAID (rev 01) | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ksbalaji: if you log in to text prompt and type: startx | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ksbalaji: what happens? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | FluxD sounds good, so you've used the raid vard's bios (F3 at boot time) to configure the raid meta device ? | 13:44 |
| Kozeris | my friend has 2 hdd : sata and pata, when connect pata as slave , master with xp loads 4xlonger. but when using both speeds 50 mbps, so it something with recognition? | 13:44 |
| Bluey_ | JasonosaJ: thanx man, i am trying something... lemme see how that works | 13:44 |
| FluxD | ikonia, raid0 works fine just want ubuntu to see it as 2 x space | 13:44 |
| JasonosaJ | Bluey_, ok, Another thing, it may work to try older versions of VBox, as it clearly works on some versions, and doesn't on others. | 13:45 |
| ikonia | FluxD so you've configured the raid set using the 3ware bios utility (I think it's F3 at boot up to configure it) | 13:45 |
| FluxD | ikonia, yea | 13:45 |
| absence | ActionParsnip1: i've tried that. the little icon in the upper right corner spins for a while, then it just says it's not connected or something | 13:45 |
| ikonia | FluxD show me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" in a pastebin please | 13:46 |
| absence | ActionParsnip1: same if i disconnect and connect the cable | 13:46 |

| huckleberry | hi guys | 13:50 |
| huckleberry | how do i get the right click to work on my macbook pro touchpad? i'm using ubuntu 8.10 | 13:50 |
| wartalker | when i compile cpp, error: ‘memset’ was not declared in this scope, how can i do | 13:51 |
| asl1 | what would the command?? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | asl1:you also get vim but I find nano more intuitive | 13:51 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | wartalker, Try asking in #C++ | 13:51 |
| ikonia | FluxD so your raid disk is 1500GB in size and you've made a 40GB partition for ubuntu on sda1, and then another with 72GB all your space is allocated in your partitions | 13:51 |
| jimcooncat | looking for a "versioning file system" that works well with hardy. Anyone use something like Tux3, Wayback, or ext3cow? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wartalker: did you sudo apt-get install build-essential | 13:51 |
| asl1 | is very well use the vim | 13:52 |
| huckleberry | hmm | 13:52 |
| FluxD | ikonia, its actually 4 gb on sda1, 1 gb on sda2, and rest on sda3 ( should be 1500 - 5) | 13:52 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: edit you xorg.conf file. in the Section that says Section "Device" ...all the way down at the bottom of that, you need to add a line | 13:52 |
| RizR | hello chaps. got 8.10 nvidia with proprietry driver and twinview and two monitors. thought kde4 is cool as well. logged out (of gnome) and logged back in kde4 and one monitor (secondary of course) is blank. need any extra config for this? | 13:52 |
| ikonia | FluxD sorry, miss-read that | 13:52 |
| ikonia | FluxD so what's the problem ? | 13:52 |
| huckleberry | hmm | 13:52 |
| asl1 | but how can I edit the file from the ftp with vim? | 13:53 |
| Feeernando | hello word | 13:53 |
| ikonia | asl1: you can't edit in ftp | 13:53 |
| rjune_ | asl1: you can't. | 13:53 |
| asl1 | ftp> | 13:53 |
| ikonia | asl1: ftp is file transfer, nothing more | 13:53 |
| FluxD | ikonia, I want sda3 as ( 1500 - 5 ) not 750 - 5 | 13:53 |
| ikonia | asl1: you can't do that | 13:53 |
| RizR | asl1: I suggested mc. did you read my msg? | 13:53 |
| ksbalaji | Hi! Is this ubuntu help channel please? Hello anyone live here? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | FluxD reduce it's size then | 13:53 |
| RizR | asl1: you need to connect to your ftp server from inside mc for that | 13:53 |
| absence | networking in ubuntu has suddenly stopped working. everything was fine with my ubuntu install, but after i moved, completely regular LAN networking does not work. it works in windows, but not ubuntu. does anyonw know what could be wrong and how i can troubleshoot it? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | ksbalaji if you don't ask a question this time you will be banned | 13:53 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Which line am i adding? | 13:53 |
| rjune_ | asl1: both GNOME and KDE provide UI to connect, download, edit, and upload. supposedly mc does too | 13:53 |
| FluxD | ikonia, of? | 13:53 |
| ksbalaji | i> I used to get immediate response here. Am I still connected to Ubuntu help channel? | 13:53 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: wait..let's try something different first.. you with me? close out your editor | 13:53 |
| ikonia | FluxD: use gparted | 13:54 |
| knanand | hi all | 13:54 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | closed. | 13:54 |
| rjune_ | ikonia: I think he's got some issues. | 13:54 |
| FluxD | ikonia, this is ubuntu server | 13:54 |
| ikonia | it's a bot | 13:54 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: ok.. one sec | 13:54 |
| ikonia | FluxD: use parted then | 13:54 |
| wartalker | ActionParsnip1: i have done, it is ok before, i do not know why | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | absence: if you run: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old | 13:54 |
| rjune_ | what would the point be of a stupid bot like that? | 13:54 |
| FluxD | ikonia, okay commands to use on parted, I couldnt understand it clearly from their manpage | 13:54 |
| === qb|sleep is now known as qb|away | ||

| ikonia | FluxD it's an interactive menu | 13:55 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Done. | 13:56 |
| FluxD | ikonia, any links to an exmaple or tutorial? | 13:56 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: i think you said you are wanting dual-head config? | 13:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah. | 13:56 |
| ikonia | FluxD: what are you talking about , it's an interactive menu | 13:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | figured once drivers were installed, i could just choose dual head in the screen resolution options. | 13:56 |
| jimcooncat | knanand: you may have to edit /etc/default/postgresd or whatever it's called. Postgresql opens a port, and most 'buntu daemons are disabled on install. | 13:57 |

| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: there's no mention of fglrx in the log file becasue for some reason, either the xorg.conf file is incorrect or the driver isn't working right. i'm going to look the log file over. you should try to make a one-liiner explaining your problem and has links to your xorg.conf file and your log file and then put the question to the channel | 14:14 |

| bshak1 | I am trying to set up a web server at home. I have it set up with www.dyndns.com where I can access my website at home. The problem is that dyndns is choosing my internal ip address (192.168.whatever). When I use the automatically detected settings on Dyndns (which are not 192.168.xxx.xxx), it doesn't work at all... not even within my network | 14:15 |

| huckleberry | void do you know how to get the right click to work on the macbook touch pad running ubuntu | 14:16 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Tyrath: you can restrict / schedule bandwidth usae for torrents in some clients (ktorrent does it) | 14:27 |
| Tyrath | ActionParsnip1: is that for KDE? | 14:27 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: let jim_p help you out | 14:28 |

| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: you're welcome, and good luck! | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tyrath: i work from home so allow 10k/s during the day, then slightly faster after work, then fully open from midnight | 14:29 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, Good, think i'll need it. | 14:29 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | lol. | 14:29 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tyrath: ifconfig only shows the connection speed to your router | 14:29 |
| Tyrath | ActionParsnip1: that's awesome. So it's almost like nice but for bandwidth instead of progs | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tyrath: if you use pppoe it will say | 14:30 |

| jim_p | Tyrath, i "apt-cache search" them | 14:31 |
| onetinsoldier | jim_p: is your resolution 1280x1024? he might need to change that | 14:32 |
| kaiser10123 | can i use mythtv without using an account to receive tv listing | 14:32 |

| jim_p | kaiser10123, yea, i think so. i have used it once and i did not have such thing | 14:32 |
| Tyrath | jim_p: thanks but if I'm not wrong apt-cache search just finds me progs providing i know the program name | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tyrath: you'll need a way to keep its bandwidth use down or if the app allows config, use that | 14:33 |
| kaiser10123 | jim_p: how do i setup mythtv | 14:33 |
| adil79 | bonjour | 14:33 |
| Tyrath | jim_p: if I were doing what you were suggesting i'd pick maybe apropos or man -k may do it | 14:33 |
| kaiser10123 | i have a hauppauge 878 | 14:33 |
| jim_p | Tyrath, ok what app do you want? synaptic also searched by description. and there is also linuxappfinder.com . no matter what, DO NOT download the debs from there and double click install. use your repos!!! | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !tvcard | 14:34 |
| ubottu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 14:34 |
| jim_p | kaiser10123, i cant help you. let me find some guide | 14:34 |
| Tyrath | jim_p: that's actually a good idea. but i'd use nautilus instead of synaptic | 14:34 |

| Koordin | i have a problem with apt-get when i try to upgrade : http://rafb.net/p/pMqSCK67.html | 14:39 |

| jakechen | how to set Pan? | 14:41 |
| Tyrath | NiSoOo: I'm not a linux expert but personally i don't get why you would. why don't you just change the permissions of the fstab to you? ie, chown <user> /dev/fs* | 14:41 |
| Tyrath | NiSoOo: because then you have all priveledges for it | 14:42 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, nothing. | 14:42 |

| ActionParsnip1 | NiSoOo: isnt that the tool to mount and reset nt password sams? | 14:43 |
| NiSoOo | Tyrath: i dont know about anything of this process, i just know i need to boot it from a cd but i cant (dont have a burner nor usb), so someone told me i should mount the fs and than use it through linux.. | 14:43 |

| Tyrath | NiSoOo: well I've given you the way of mounting the fstab. as for the CD boot, I don't feel confident in helping you. Last time I fiddled with partition related stuff I swiped my whole HD. Hence why I only use ubuntu now, and don't dual boot with XP | 14:45 |
| bewst1 | Linux has elaborate mechanisms for responding to hardware transitions (e.g. docked->undocked, a/c power -> battery) but I don't see any way to integrate that with initial state setup. In other words, if I boot my laptop on battery none of the power saving scripts I've got installed get triggered. What am I missing? | 14:45 |
| NiSoOo | ok. thanks for your help Tyrath, i really appriciate it =] | 14:46 |

| Tyrath | ChristianBill: it's a text browser tho | 15:02 |
| fde | V0iD: actually, the license explicitly gives permission... I can copy and paste the exact line if you'd like? please don't misinform rcmysoft | 15:02 |
| jim_p | chris4585, opera. same features as ff + some more | 15:02 |
| V0iD | but your not selling ubuntu your selling the computer | 15:02 |
| Tyrath | ChristianBill: also if you want a graphical browser try opera. it's more lightweight than firefox | 15:02 |
| onetinsoldier | V0iD: ??? it is allowed. you just have to make sure of a few things. for instance, that they have access to the source code if they want it | 15:02 |
| jim_p | ChristianBill, opera. same features as ff + some more | 15:02 |
| jim_p | sorry chris4585 | 15:02 |
| NiSoOo | V0iD: yes.. that's why it's allowed. | 15:02 |
| rcmysoft | yes please. Thank you | 15:02 |

| jim_p | kaiser10123, a lot less. but new versions of flash sometimes dont work in opera | 15:03 |

| Funnyplay | how to install it properly, | 15:15 |

| onetinsoldier | ChristianBill: look in either your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for Driver "name" ...or look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 15:15 |

| Funnyplay | which of the two methods you advise | 15:18 |
| hischild | sdousley|work, don't use alien, it's highly likely it'll break your package | 15:18 |
| Tyrath | NiSoOo: or you can combine it into one statement, ie: mkdir ~/Desktop/mydir && mount -o -loop -t iso9660 <filename>.iso ~/Desktop/mydir | 15:18 |
| jim_p | sdousley|work, you can but it cant guarantee results | 15:18 |

| Tyrath | NiSoOo: the output directory has to be after the .iso file | 15:20 |

| fudpucker | any idea how to fix this | 15:21 |
| hischild | onetinsoldier, don't use RPM at all, there's the apt system for it. If you really need to use an RPM package, you're doing something wrong. | 15:21 |

| onetinsoldier | hischild: i don't use it either, because i've never gotten rpm's to install the very few times i've ever tried, same thing with aliev... alien never works. unless, it's a very simple little package, then of course, either method works. lol | 15:23 |

| ASULutzy | onetinsoldier: The only time I've used alien was for installing lightscribe stuff on my laptop, but yea, generally better to either find a .deb or compile the source | 15:23 |
| hischild | onetinsoldier, i'll just use the source of the package and compile it myself. I'll always find another way so i don't have to use RPM's. And if there isn't a source available, then i just won't use it. | 15:23 |

| fde | mick02: to do what? one that comes to mind is ebox (I think, somethingbox anyways) which is in most distros... its a pretty extensive tool, but of course it probably can't do packages for everything, which is basically what spacewalk/satellite is | 15:32 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah, i read the xserver log, and it says no device for dbus 1:0:0 | 15:34 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, thanks i will convey. | 15:34 |
| fde | ksbalaji: hischild actually means install kubuntu-desktop... as you're using kde | 15:34 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | so im hoping it makes a good xorg.conf file. | 15:34 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, ho wait! | 15:34 |
| hischild | fde, nice catch there | 15:34 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, well there is a line in xorg.conf that states the bus for the device and you can change it | 15:34 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, fde is right. You should install kubuntu-desktop, since you're using kde instead of gnome. | 15:34 |
| mick02 | fde, ASULutzy, thanks for the feedback. Basically I've got 2 Linux servers on my work LAN but there are approx 200 clients and 8 Windows servers. I'm trying to do an AV upgrade to all the clients in the LAN by pushing the software to all client machines on the network. I'm looking for a Linux equivalent of SMS Server I guess | 15:34 |
| V0id | My friend fde! hehe | 15:34 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | jim_p, Yep, but i dunno what to change it tol. | 15:35 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, what does your lspci | grep VGA say? | 15:35 |
| onetinsoldier | jim_p: he's here if you have any more suggestions for him. i worked for hours to try and get it installed. i don't get it. for me, i made sure i started with a good xorg.conf file with the following command with x shut down Xorg -configure. then i installed the fglrx file, and i was done. | 15:35 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | nothing now, i have uninstalled the ati drivers. | 15:35 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, can you please quote what my friend has to type in his promt command. | 15:35 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, ofcourse. This should do the trick --> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 15:36 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, this command works without drivers and the like. it even works without gui | 15:36 |
| adam7 | onetinsoldier, CoUrPsE|DeAd: have you tried it with no xorg.conf file? are you on intrepid? | 15:36 |
| fde | mick02: there is apt-proxy for any debian machines... then of course spacewalk for the redhat machines... I don't think there is anything that can push .debs AND .rpms currently though | 15:36 |
| onetinsoldier | jim_p: i should say, he does have the actual driver installed. it installed with no errors. just his X isn't configure properly or something | 15:36 |
| Sivam | hischild: for installing kubuntu-desktop u need to update your repositories | 15:36 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | jim_p, Um, crap? | 15:36 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, my friend now on phone says that he does not use kubuntu. | 15:36 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | adam7, Not i havent tried that, and yes i am. | 15:37 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, ask him what which OS he has, and which version. | 15:37 |
| hischild | Sivam, it's a meta package. Why should you update? | 15:37 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, open the terminal and type lspci | grep VGA and paste the output here. it must be one line all in all | 15:37 |
| fde | mick02: and apt-proxy won't do the pushing either... you'd need to maintain meta-packages much like ubuntu-desktop and modify it with anything new you want... then have the clients auto-upgrade | 15:37 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, he says that it is ubuntu 8.04 | 15:37 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, is he using adept or synaptic? | 15:37 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, adept | 15:37 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R300 ND [Radeon 9700 Pro] | 15:37 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Sorry, did vga in lower case. | 15:37 |
| fde | ksbalaji: if he's got adept on his machine, he's using kubuntu, whether he knows it or not :) | 15:37 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, ok. Does he know if he uses gnome or kde? | 15:38 |
| adam7 | CoUrPsE|DeAd: just out of curiosity, why did you not use the hardware drivers manager thing? | 15:38 |
| mick02 | Hmm cheers fde. I reckon I'll do a little bit of research and see if there is anything that I can use. Thanks for the repiles though | 15:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Coz nothing comes up in there. | 15:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | its empty. | 15:38 |
| onetinsoldier | adam7: he is on intrepid... 32-bit | 15:38 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, then you MUST alter the line that says BusID"PCI:1:05:0" to BusID"PCI:1:00:0" | 15:38 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, now how can he find what he uses? gnome/ kde? I feel he uses gnome, | 15:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | jim_p, im using my own .conf now. | 15:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i hav 1:0:0 there. | 15:38 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, notice the numbers on the begining of the line? that is the bus id | 15:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | does it have to be 1:00:0 ? | 15:39 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, there's 2 different stories around. Adept means he uses KDE. Synaptic means that he uses Gnome. This should clarify it all up --> where is his application menu, on the bottom or at the top? | 15:39 |
| fde | ksbalaji: if nautilus is craping out, then its gnome, ask him to confirm that he meant adept manager... he might have both installed | 15:39 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, no its the same | 15:39 |
| gangsterlicious | i tried to install CSF firewall but it doesn't seem to be working. anyone have any ideas? | 15:39 |

| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, use the opensource radeon driver then! | 15:40 |
| bazhang | gangsterlicious, install from where | 15:40 |
| bazhang | gangsterlicious, what OS and what version | 15:40 |
| hischild | fde, that's why i just asked where his application menu is. | 15:40 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | how to install .deb file? | 15:41 |
| fde | Guest14588: dpkg -L apache2 | grep etc (probably, or whatever package you installed for apache) | 15:41 |
| ksbalaji | fde, yes he has both adeptmanager and synaptic installed. But he uses only adeptmanager. | 15:41 |
| ASULutzy | CoUrPsE|DeAd: sudo dpkg -i theNameOfThePackage.deb | 15:41 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, what .deb file?? | 15:41 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: just double click on it in Ubuntu... in cli sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb | 15:41 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, and where is his applicatin menu? | 15:41 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: it's already on your system.. do you have the xorg.conf-vesa file? | 15:41 |
| hischild | *application | 15:41 |
| gangsterlicious | bazhang: from source (http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html). ubuntu hardy. i specified only port 22 open and installed dropbear on port 2222. csf seems to start fine but i can ssh to port 2222. | 15:41 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | thank you. | 15:41 |
| fde | CoUrPsE|DeAd: you almost never had to install actual .debs though... make sure its not in the repos first | 15:41 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, if THAT file exists in synaptic, you install it from there to take care of dependencies | 15:41 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, it used to be at left top | 15:41 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i built the .run file into .deb files. | 15:41 |
| pepperjack | CoUrPsE|DeAd: what are you installing? usually you can find it in the repos | 15:42 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, meaning he uses gnome (correct fde?) | 15:42 |
| bazhang | gangsterlicious, port 2222? | 15:42 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, yes | 15:42 |
| gangsterlicious | not allowing incoming ICMP ping and i can ping the host. iptables -L shows rules loaded | 15:42 |
| adam7 | CoUrPsE|DeAd: what was wrong with using the hardware drivers manager in System -> Administration? | 15:42 |
| gangsterlicious | dropbear is an alternative SSHd daemon running on port 2222 | 15:42 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | adam7, As i told you just before, theres nothing there, its empty. | 15:42 |
| hischild | fde, can you please confirm that he should install ubuntu-desktop? | 15:42 |
| Psi-Jack | Okay, WHY is NetworkManager destroying my /etc/resolv.conf with it's own that's BLANK? | 15:42 |
| JC_Denton_ | trying to run update-manager but it returns: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/login_1%3a4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb: files list file for package `dosfstools' is missing final newline | 15:43 |
| fde | hischild: yes, I agree it should probably be ubuntu-desktop | 15:43 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 15:43 |
| Chiliblue | anyone using a ipod in linux, any app that works like itunes with regard too podcasts, feature I am looking for is tracking whether a popcast has been listen to or not on the ipod | 15:43 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, tell him to install that. It ought to reinstall the bunch of stuff he removed that probably broke it. | 15:43 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, can he type sudo install ubuntu-desktop? thanks he is trying now. | 15:43 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, yes | 15:43 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, better go with the radeon driver then. if the hardware drivers manager cant "say" fglrx, you are out of luck | 15:43 |
| fde | Chiliblue: I like Banshee personally | 15:43 |
| dmsuperman | I'm trying to connect to my VPN at work, which is a PPTP VPN. I get this response: http://pastebin.com/d66f1debb | 15:43 |
| MR_QT | hello | 15:43 |
| dmsuperman | Any idea what I'm doing wrong? | 15:43 |
| Chiliblue | fde does it track whether a podcast has been listen to on the ipod or not | 15:44 |
| adam7 | CoUrPsE|DeAd: try this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx; then reboot | 15:44 |
| adam7 | that's all it should take to get it working. | 15:44 |
| adam7 | theoretically :P | 15:44 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyone? | 15:45 |
| fde | Chiliblue: I believe so... I don't actually have an ipod... waste of money... but I'm 90% sure I've seen that in release notes | 15:45 |
| r0ny_ | hi is there any apt-get stuf for tomcat extra packages? | 15:45 |
| Psi-Jack | # Generated by NetworkManager | 15:45 |
| Psi-Jack | And it's blank beyond that | 15:45 |
| Psi-Jack | My /etc/resolv.conf | 15:45 |
| Psi-Jack | Kinda useless that.. | 15:45 |
| Psi-Jack | Especially when I run my own DNS server. | 15:45 |
| jim_p | r0ny_, you want to install the suggested packages as well? | 15:45 |
| kajo | EMERGENCY! Gnome on 8.04 is not loading, and not even the failsafe, and I have a paper I have to do in the next few hours--college final. The problem: Power went out twice in ten minutes, and I had started loading the computer when it went out the second time. At the login screen, I sign in, and I get this message in an error window: The GNOME session manager was unable to lock the file '/home/<myusername>/.ICEauthority'. Please report th | 15:45 |
| kajo | is as a GNOME bug. Sometimes this error may occur if the file's directory is unwritable, you could try logging in via the failsafe session and ensuring that it is." | 15:45 |
| adam7 | Psi-Jack: if you don't change networks and you use ext3 you can chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf | 15:45 |
| Chiliblue | fde, I have acually just lost my ipod...1st gen nano, so I thinking what I should replace it with, I only use it for podcasts while running but ipods handle podcast really well | 15:45 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: just put in your DNS address above the comments? | 15:46 |
| Psi-Jack | adam7: That's a band-aid for a problem that Ubuntu's startup routine is doing. | 15:46 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, my friend says that he has a message saying that it will take hours?! Is it so? | 15:46 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: Next time NetworkManager starts during init, it'll just replace it again. | 15:46 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: Write the paper using vim! | 15:46 |
| adam7 | Psi-Jack: yes, it is. Just a suggestion. | 15:46 |
| ras1 | anyone to suggest a firewall? | 15:46 |
| adam7 | kajo: write the paper on whatever computer you're using now, and fix the other one later... | 15:46 |
| Psi-Jack | adam7: If this were a laptop, that would be a very bad idea. ;) | 15:46 |
| Arrowhead212002 | does anyone here watch the chris pirillo feed? | 15:47 |
| bazhang | ras1, firestarter | 15:47 |
| kitche | !iptables | ras1 | 15:47 |
| ubottu | ras1: 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). | 15:47 |
| adam7 | Psi-Jack: as I said, if you don't switch networks ;) | 15:47 |
| kajo | ASULutzy, I wish... formatting is a bitch, though, and it's in .doc for the prof. | 15:47 |
| === Guest14588 is now known as kulhas | ||
| === CaT_MaNZz is now known as CaT_MaN | ||
| ASULutzy | kajo: Or alternatively, when you get to the login screen, you could push ctrl+alt+f1, to switch to tty1, then login, then do sudo rm /home/$USER/.ICEauthority (verify that this is smart, I'm pretty sure that it is) | 15:47 |
| Psi-Jack | adam7: Do you know a proper means to fix it though? | 15:47 |
| jim_p | ras1, iptables (linux built in, installed by default, command line only) and fwbuilder (frontend to iptables) | 15:47 |
| kajo | ASULutzy, does anyone know if ASULutzy 's idea is bad? | 15:47 |
| adam7 | Psi-Jack: nope. you can hunt around in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf ( I think) and find a prepend-nameservers option, and try that. | 15:47 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, how many packages did he remove? a few? a dozen? a few hundred? It'll reinstall the packages that he removed. Depending on the network speed and of his pc, it can be fast or can take a bit longer. Hours seems a serious overstatement. | 15:47 |
| OsamaK | Hi, is it possible to install Ubuntu *on* a USB flash drive? if so, where can I find this 'how-to'? | 15:47 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm assuming it's something to do with /etc/networks/interfaces | 15:48 |
| Ax-Ax | could someone help me with installation of usb soundcard?? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936304 | 15:48 |
| Chiliblue | I might get something else. I have a rio karma some where and a sandisk thing running some open firmware. | 15:48 |
| Psi-Jack | adam7: I don't use dhclient. | 15:48 |
| adam7 | OsamaK: yep. Plug the USB disk in when running the installer, and pick it as the destination disk | 15:48 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: Instead of rm'ing it, just mv it | 15:48 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | xorg-driver-fglrx is already the newest version. | 15:48 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: It shouldn't if you don't take out its generated stuff... but hey, you should ensure network-manager-pptp and try configuring it via networkmanager... or just disable networkmanager and use your settings | 15:48 |
| jim_p | kajo, nice idea for me | 15:48 |
| adam7 | Psi-Jack: What do you use? | 15:48 |
| Psi-Jack | adam7: I'm static on m LAN. | 15:48 |
| goog | Hey People! My thunderbird suddenly tells me to set up a new user account when I start it. And all my mail accounts seem to be gone. But I can see them in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/... Any ideas why Thunderbird does not see them anymore? | 15:48 |
| kulhas | does anyone knows how to conf apache auth to use ubunto user/pass ? | 15:48 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: sudo mv /home/$USER/.ICEauthotity /home/$USER/.ICEauthotity.bak | 15:48 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, then make sure you edit your settings accordingly in network tools under adminstration. | 15:48 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | When doing: apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 15:48 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: Then it'll be reversible :) | 15:48 |
| adam7 | Psi-Jack: hm. (Dumb question ->) did you specify the DNS servers in NM? | 15:48 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: Funny thing that.. | 15:48 |
| ksbalaji | hischild, fde, if it takes a long time - what should he do after that please?- Wait - for your recent query - he removed SCIM and a few fonts. | 15:48 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: (you probably already know, but check out update-rc.d for how to disable nm) | 15:48 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, then you have no other way but to use the radeon driver | 15:48 |
| ras1 | thanks | 15:48 |
| Psi-Jack | adam7, hischild: I manually did use the GUI tools, but it FAILED | 15:49 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, after that he should reboot. | 15:49 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | the radeon source driver? | 15:49 |
| Psi-Jack | I had to manually edit /etc/network/interfaces myself. | 15:49 |
| fde | ksbalaji: Installing ubuntu-desktop should have him set | 15:49 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: did you uninstall the 8.12 fglrx driver yet? | 15:49 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, the opensource radeon driver. its name is radeon | 15:49 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | im trying, :( | 15:49 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, why did it fail? I have 3 profiles in it, all with totally seperate settings and routes. Switching goes perfect for me. | 15:49 |
| kajo | ASULutzy, why would deleting it be a good idea at all? What use is that? Is the idea to allow gnome to make a new one? What does this file do? | 15:49 |
| fde | jim_p: *cough*radeonhd*cough* | 15:49 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: Heck if I know. :) | 15:49 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: Yea, the idea is to let gnome make a new one | 15:49 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: When I changed my settings, it was still using DHCP. | 15:49 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, what didnt work | 15:49 |
| Ax-Ax | Can somebody help me with my usb soundcard? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936304 | 15:50 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: I set it to manual static settings, and it contiuned to use DHCPO | 15:50 |
| jim_p | fde, there is also radeonhd but i doubt if his card is supported by it | 15:50 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: Just move it to a backup file and try to login, if it doesn't work you can always mv it back and be no worse for wear... I'm fairly certain I rm'd it before when I had the same problem and everything was peachy | 15:50 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, because you have to enable that profile. Leftclicking the nm-applet gives you options to switch to auto or that profile. | 15:50 |
| OsamaK | adam7, does it work with FAT32 (I guess all(?) USB are in that format. | 15:50 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: I don't know how to do it via cli for nm... but in the gui, you can set it up static.... | 15:50 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: It was enabled. | 15:50 |
| adam7 | OsamaK: no, but you can always reformat the USB | 15:50 |
| ksbalaji | thanks a lot hischild and fde. This should solve it hopefully. He now says that he completed 10% thanks again and bye. | 15:50 |
| kajo | ASULutzy, thanks, I'll try that. | 15:50 |
| adam7 | OsamaK: of course, that will delete all the data on it, but... | 15:50 |
| jim_p | fde, nope, radeonhd supports R500 and up | 15:50 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, odd that it didn't work. Still works for me | 15:51 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: This problem started when I installed kubuntu-desktop, | 15:51 |
| kajo | reading up on the file now, trying to figure out exactly what it's use is. | 15:51 |
| hischild | ksbalaji, no prob. | 15:51 |
| kajo | will be back to thank you or ask more quesitons soon. ;) | 15:51 |
| Psi-Jack | The problem may be that Ubuntu's nm-applet and KDE's Network manager applet, don't work well together? | 15:51 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, perhaps there's another manager mysteriously managing the connection? | 15:51 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: Kubuntu has a (rather uglier) interface for what I'm saying too.... | 15:51 |
| OsamaK | adam7, Can I split it, for 2 partitions, for example one 4GB as EXT3 and the other is FAT32? | 15:51 |
| jim_p | Psi-Jack, the poblem is network manager of 8.10. its a piece of junk. the 8.04 one was a lot better | 15:52 |
| adam7 | OsamaK: yeah, you can if you want. | 15:52 |
| Psi-Jack | jim_p: Yeah! No joke.. | 15:52 |
| fde | hischild: its networkmanager ... he probably doesn't have -pptp installed... or he is trying to make system stuff compete with automation... which in todays linux doesn't work | 15:52 |
| hischild | jim_p, Psi-Jack, so downgrade it :) | 15:52 |
| adam7 | jim_p: it was supposed to better I thought ;) | 15:52 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | jim_p, i get these from ati.com? | 15:52 |
| jim_p | Psi-Jack, not the gnome or kde frontend , the backend is what i mean | 15:52 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: Heh, does 8.04 have KDE 4.1? :p | 15:52 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, what these? | 15:52 |
| kajo | how does one make hidden files shown in terminal? | 15:52 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: yes | 15:52 |
| OsamaK | adam7, Well, nice. I'm going to do that right now :) | 15:52 |
| fde | kajo: ls -a | 15:53 |
| jim_p | Psi-Jack, yea it does | 15:53 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, i'm not talking about versions of kde or going back to 8.04. But there's quite likely a way to downgrade THAT package only | 15:53 |
| latus | in the /etc/cron.allow is the user name only?? | 15:53 |
| fde | latus: what exactly are you trying to do? | 15:53 |
| Psi-Jack | jim_p: Hmmm.. In supported repos? | 15:53 |
| adam7 | kajo: have you run fsck on that disk after the power crash? | 15:53 |
| OsamaK | adam7, btw, what's the minimum size of a USB? | 15:53 |
| jim_p | hischild, Psi-Jack i abandon the nm conversation because i dont know what you want to do | 15:54 |
| adam7 | OsamaK: the minimum size of a USB? can you rephrase that? | 15:54 |
| jim_p | Psi-Jack, ??? | 15:54 |
| latus | fde: I got crontab installed, but the scripts does not work.... | 15:54 |
| Psi-Jack | jim_p: 8.04 has KDE 4.1.3 in supported standard repos (not unsupported extras)? | 15:54 |
| OsamaK | adam7, I mean what's the size needed by Ubuntu to be installed on a USB. | 15:54 |
| jim_p | Psi-Jack, dunno :( | 15:54 |
| onetinsoldier | he probably means minimum size of a usb that you can install ubuntu onto | 15:54 |
| adam7 | OsamaK: ah, that I don't know. I would guess ~4GB, but it could be as small as 1GB | 15:54 |
| fightskillz | hey how do i install a .bin file? | 15:54 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: networkmanager - well the gui - is still kde3... only problem might be build env... but you can grab the source and build it in your current dist | 15:55 |
| jim_p | fightskillz, sudo sh file.bin | 15:55 |
| adam7 | fightskillz: are you sure there is no deb for your program? | 15:55 |
| OsamaK | adam7, well. OK. thanks | 15:55 |
| hischild | jim_p, you said the nm-applet was better in 8.04, hence my suggestion to downgrade that package then back to whichever version 8.04 had. | 15:55 |
| fightskillz | it's for adobe air | 15:55 |
| onetinsoldier | fightskillz: you move or copy it to /usr/local/bin | 15:55 |
| kajo | adam7, I haven't run anything after the crash, that was just a few minutes ago. | 15:55 |
| jim_p | hischild, and how will he do it if he has intrepid repos? | 15:55 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: Oh, I don't use nm-applet, or Gnome for that matter. I use Ubuntu with KDE 4.1 ;) | 15:55 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: Personally I find latest nm to be a joy, most report that it works much better with VPN... if you have networkmanager -pptp installed | 15:55 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, are you there? | 15:55 |
| kajo | what would fsck do to it @ Adam- | 15:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | im here. | 15:56 |
| Psi-Jack | hischild: Just ever SINCE I added kubuntu-desktop, the network-manager crap stopped working on it's own. | 15:56 |
| kajo | @adam7 | 15:56 |
| hischild | Psi-Jack, ok =) | 15:56 |
| hischild | jim_p, find out which version it has, install that version? | 15:56 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: What about in my case, where I don't use Gnome, or nm-applet, but use, instead, KDE from kubuntu-desktop? | 15:56 |
| adam7 | kajo: well, the error said something about not having permissions, and sometimes when the disk is corrupted it will mount readonly, hence my suggestion to fsck it so it will not be corrupted and hence will be mounted read/write | 15:56 |
| Psi-Jack | ** (nm-applet:14629): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 | 15:57 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: umm... I haven't once stated nm-applet ... knetworkmanager has the same options for the most part :/ | 15:57 |
| kajo | ASULutzy, that seems to have worked just fine. Thank you kindly. | 15:57 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: True... But they don't actually work. For me, I had to manually edit /etc/network/interfaces to get it working at all proper. | 15:57 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: Yea, running fsck isn't a bad idea either, you can force an fsck on your next reboot by doing shutdown -rF I believe (after you write your paper, this might be a good idea since you had multiple unclean shutdowns) | 15:57 |
| jim_p | hischild, 0.6.whatever | 15:57 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | jim_p, Yes, im here. | 15:58 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, did you install radeon? | 15:58 |
| jim_p | the driver | 15:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Naw, still trying to find source. | 15:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | or do i use apt-get ? | 15:58 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon | 15:58 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: can look into resolvconf ... it gets you a /etc/resolv.d dir where you can put the other DNS stuff... might avoid NM touching it | 15:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | doh, thanks. | 15:59 |
| kajo | ASULutzy, is fsck like a harddrive error analysis? I've heard this program referenced jokingly before, but don't remember what it does. :P | 15:59 |
| fde | Actually, I think it'd be resolv.conf.d but yeah | 15:59 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, you will have to change the relevant Driver part in xorg.conf | 15:59 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: resolvconf isn't even installed. | 15:59 |
| lit3l | hi, i'm searching for electronic conception tools on linux, if possible whith example and stuff, if you have an idea ... :D thx | 15:59 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version. | 15:59 |
| adam7 | kajo: it stands for FileSystem ChecK | 15:59 |
| genii | kajo: It's like Windows' "scandisk" | 15:59 |
| kajo | adam7, thanks. | 16:00 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: Right now, it's literally NetworkManager fracking things up on it's own. | 16:00 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: do you still have the xorg.conf-vesa file? | 16:00 |
| kajo | Hey, genii, long time no see. ;) | 16:00 |
| jim_p | Psi-Jack, you dont have /etc/resolv.conf ?!?!?!? | 16:00 |
| ASULutzy | Yea, it checks for errors on the filesystem. The easiest way now that I look it up, is to do sudo touch /forcefsck | 16:00 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | onetinsoldier, yes. | 16:00 |
| ASULutzy | kajo: That'll apparently force an fsck on next boot | 16:00 |
| jim_p | CoUrPsE|DeAd, then make the change in xorg.conf | 16:00 |
| kajo | well, I've got to get on that paper. I'll do that after I'm done. Thanks again everyone. | 16:00 |
| genii | kajo: I'm always around :) | 16:00 |
| Psi-Jack | jim_p: Yes, I do. I DON'T have resolvconf, a SEPERATE package installed to auto-manage it, NetworkManager is doing that. | 16:00 |
| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: use that and put the line in it to for the radeon driver | 16:00 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: yes, so my suggestion would hopefully allow NM to ignore that file, and thus your custom config | 16:00 |
| Psi-Jack | resolvconf, the program/package, was a pain in the arse. | 16:00 |

| fde | ASULutzy: try it? But I'm fairly sure only up to 2003 is currently tested | 16:03 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | can i just restart X to check if its working? | 16:03 |
| jim_p | fightskillz, what is that .bin file anyway? at a terminal file something.bin | 16:03 |

| fde | Psi-Jack: Have you at least checked to ensure network-manager-pptp is installed? Just to humor me? You've never confirmed nor denied :/ | 16:05 |
| ASULutzy | fightskillz: just do chmod +x /home/$USER/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin && sudo ./home/$USER/Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin | 16:05 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: fwiw though, I'd say this is more annoying than a simple popup ;) | 16:05 |
| adam7 | fightskillz: try sudo bash AdobeAirInstaller.bin | 16:05 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: It is not installed. | 16:05 |
| ASULutzy | fightskillz: Get rid of that . before ./home | 16:05 |
| rmorales1_ | clear | 16:05 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: so you want nm to work with something you haven't installed the plugin for? you think perhaps that could be the problem? | 16:06 |
| fightskillz | jim_p: they've been working on it.. i believe they're out of beta for linux.. but it's v1.0.. after a while they plan on releasing it on the same schedule as other OSs | 16:06 |

| rmorales1_ | i wanna find a java channell | 16:10 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: Ever since I installed kubuntu-desktop, NetworkManager applets for Gnome and KDE have since failed to function at all, besides telling me my wired connection is connected/active. | 16:10 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: I know for a fact that nm-applet isn't broken for that... its how my other Ubuntu machine is configured... | 16:10 |
| rmorales1_ | anyone know about java channell? | 16:10 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: That break, is what I am trying to repair, instead of band-aid :) | 16:10 |

| onetinsoldier | CoUrPsE|DeAd: yes... ok, you know it then | 16:12 |
| SillyZ | Psi-Jack: any hope to fix that nm-applet ? or should I just plan on setting it manually in /etc/network ? | 16:12 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: I have cable. I use a router. I have nothing to do with anything but LAN on this. | 16:12 |
| SlimeyPete | rmorales1_: you need to be identified with nickserv before you can use ##java | 16:12 |

| Kope | doh ... ok .. l should learn to read :) | 16:35 |
| kkuno | hi | 16:35 |
| Kope | ty | 16:36 |
| genii | Rabbitbunny: I'm pretty sure /home/your-username | 16:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Rabbitbunny: i thought on your Desktop... check home dir too. i set Mozilla(firefix) to 'always ask' where to save to | 16:36 |
| karn` | Slart: where can i download it at? | 16:36 |
| Slart | karn`: !xubuntu | 16:36 |
| Slart | oops | 16:36 |
| Slart | !xubuntu | 16:36 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:36 |
| vazdyk | hi, i installed Ubuntu 5 minutes ago. I am a newbie, so i need help in configuring. The first thing i observed, is that it doesn't show me floppy. What to do? | 16:36 |
| kkuno | I have an ati card, I wonder which video driver does the livecd use by default? | 16:36 |
| fde | Slart: can just use > username or | username ... less noise in channel | 16:36 |
| Slart | fde: of course | 16:37 |
| Pici | vazdyk: Do you have a floppy disk in the drive? | 16:37 |
| fde | vazdyk: Applications > Accessories > Terminal ... type at the prompt: mount | grep fd0 ... tell me if it returns anything | 16:37 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: look at the menu bar... 'Places' | 16:38 |
| karn` | Slart: what has less requirements, hardy or ibex? | 16:38 |
| vazdyk | yes, i have a floppy disk in. The problem is that it don't see device. | 16:38 |
| Mr_Brooks | i've installed truecrypt but when i type command "truecrypt" doesnt work. i could only open it via menu | 16:38 |
| Slart | karn`: I'm not sure.. I would say it's about the same | 16:38 |
| fde | karn`: actually, ibex would, as there will be more bugs and stuff fixed | 16:38 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: if the floppy doesn't show in Places, then try Places --> Computer | 16:39 |
| vazdyk | i wrote, it don't returns anything | 16:39 |
| vazdyk | i tryed, there isn't | 16:39 |
| karn` | fde: so it would be better to get xubuntu ibex? | 16:39 |
| fde | karn`: so less mem leaks and the like... and more work on bringing down gnomes resources | 16:39 |
| Psi-Jack | Okay, here's my problem it seems: | 16:39 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: ok... you know how to get to a command line? (terminal) | 16:39 |
| Pici | !requirements-#xubuntu > karn` | 16:39 |
| Slart | karn`: I don't know if it means anything but it feels like gnome is a little bit snappier in intrepid | 16:40 |
| ubottu | karn`, please see my private message | 16:40 |
| vazdyk | yes, i know | 16:40 |
| NiSoOo | hey, howcan i fix that: | 16:40 |
| NiSoOo | configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables | 16:40 |
| fde | karn`: XFce doesn't have as many people - if anyone - working on the little things that make it less resource intensive... you're probably better off with Gnome if those are your choices | 16:40 |
| NiSoOo | when running ./configure | 16:40 |
| NiSoOo | :S | 16:40 |
| Slart | NiSoOo: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 16:40 |
| kkuno | I have an ati card, I wonder which video driver does the livecd use by default? | 16:40 |
| Pici | !enter > NiSoOo | 16:40 |
| ubottu | NiSoOo, please see my private message | 16:40 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: in terminal command line try --> sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy | 16:40 |
| Psi-Jack | nm-applet, works just fine, even loaded in KDE.. I did afterall, install Ubuntu 8.10, not Kubuntu 8.10. kdenetworkmanager, does show I'm connected, it can disconnect my network, but when I add or change network configs, nothing's done about them. It seems to simply just keep whatever nm-applet setup and nothing else. | 16:40 |
| Slart | NiSoOo: build-essential is a meta package that installs compiler, linker etc and sets up some general stuff required for compiling | 16:40 |
| Pici | kkuno: It should try to use the open source ati driver by default. You can install the proprietary one once you do a real intallation. | 16:41 |
| Slart | kkuno: vesa or the open source radeon I think | 16:41 |
| NiSoOo | ok thanks Slart | 16:41 |
| kkuno | mmm ok | 16:41 |
| NiSoOo | ubottu: please resend it | 16:41 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:41 |
| vazdyk | <onetinsoldier>:mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist | 16:41 |
| kkuno | Pici, and if I use safe mode it uses vesa, right? | 16:41 |
| Pici | kkuno: I beloeve so | 16:42 |
| kkuno | ok | 16:42 |
| Slart | !enter > NiSoOo | 16:42 |
| ubottu | NiSoOo, please see my private message | 16:42 |
| russo | hi guys i had a quick question, i'm trying to start virtualbox with a higher priority than 0, is there any easy way to just change the command that is used to start in the panel? I mean if i do sudo nice it starts up as root, and i don't really want that. | 16:42 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: ok --> cd /media --> sudo mkdir floppy | 16:42 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: Do you have any idea how to get nm-applet and knetworkmanager to play nicely with each other? | 16:42 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: then --> sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy | 16:43 |
| Slart | NiSoOo: ubottu is just a bot.. he's nice and all, even smells good in the morning.. but his conversational skills aren't up to standards yet =) | 16:43 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: no, I never have installed KDE and Gnome on the same system | 16:43 |
| kkuno | Psi-Jack, why do you have to use both? | 16:43 |
| NiSoOo | lol :D | 16:43 |
| vazdyk | <onetinsoldier>:mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist | 16:43 |
| beastax | hiya, is there a method built into ubuntu / linux to set certain applications to use alsa over oss, or is that only dealt with by individual application config files | 16:43 |
| beastax | ? | 16:43 |
| Psi-Jack | kkuno: Namely because I login to both Gnome AND KDE. Personally I use KDE, but others like Gnome better. Multi-user system. | 16:43 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: If nm-applet works in both places... change your kde session to include it rather than knetworkmanager imo | 16:43 |
| kkuno | you can't run nm-applet and knetworkmanager at the same time | 16:43 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: But.. I hate nm-applet. It's so ugly. ;) | 16:44 |
| fde | kkuno: he's not, but they're conflicting in his configs | 16:44 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: ok.. i don't know then, sorry | 16:44 |
| feydr | I have a hourly cronjob in /etc/cron.hourly that run-parts executes but it doesn't seem to do anything; I can put it in my crontab and run it fine w/ '* * * * *' however.. what gives? | 16:44 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: And that doesn't fix the problem, still, of course, just a band-aid. | 16:44 |
| Slart | beastax: there's "aoss" that lets you use some kind of alsa wrapper around an application that only handles oss.. if that's what you mean | 16:44 |
| vazdyk | in older version, as i remember, it worked | 16:44 |
| kkuno | yeah because kde starts the gnome autostarted apps | 16:44 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: sounds like you;d have to make some udev ruleand i'm not familiar with doing that | 16:44 |
| Slart | beastax: but when it comes to the application itself I think the author has to use oss, alsa, pulseaudio or whatever when writing the program.. it isn't something you can just add on later from the os | 16:45 |
| onetinsoldier | vazdyk: sounds like you'd have to make some udev rule and i'm not familiar with doing that | 16:45 |
| beastax | Slart, my issue is that i need to make an app use alsa *instead* of oss, because i have an app that wont work with alsa or aoss that i need to run at the same time | 16:45 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: file a bug at bugs.kde.org ... its not something you'll fix without editing the code imo | 16:45 |
| keres | onetinsoldier: later today, could you compile something for me and then try to see why it crashes? | 16:45 |
| beastax | Slart, ok thanks ill delve deeper into urbanterrors config then | 16:45 |
| vazdyk | ok, thanks :-) | 16:45 |
| chills | hey guys iam trying to install rutilt but it says no package found | 16:46 |
| stwange | I'm having serious trouble installing ubuntu on my sata drives, they just aren't detected. It can, however, detect an external USB SATA Drive - if I installed it on that, then created the same partitions on the SATA drives and dd'd it across, could that possibly work? | 16:46 |
| karn` | Pici, Slart, fde, ubottu, thanks alot guys, ill be back later | 16:46 |
| chills | apt-get install rutilt | 16:46 |

| Slart | karn`: you're welcome | 16:46 |
| chills | iam 8.10 | 16:46 |
| onetinsoldier | keres: it's highly unlikely that i could figure why something crashes. i am willing to try. however, i'm not sure how much longer i'll be around today. probably not much longer | 16:46 |

| Slart | bkovacs: it's gone?.. do you know why? | 16:53 |
| parthbakshi | and my gnome startup speed increased to abt > 1 min .how do i reduce it | 16:53 |
| Pici | chills: Do you want to install off of a CD or from the internet repositories? | 16:53 |
| chills | just the net | 16:54 |
| beastax | Slart, so that script directs et audio output to oss yeah? | 16:54 |
| beastax | but denies capture? | 16:54 |
| parthbakshi | i upgrded to 8.10 from 8.04 and my gnome startup speed increased to abt > 1 min .how do i reduce it to some acceptable level? | 16:54 |
| Pici | chills: Are you using Gnome? KDE? | 16:54 |

| Slart | beastax: the first lines tells alsa/oss that the process should use direct access of some kind.. I don't really remember what that was about.. | 16:56 |
| Pici | chills: Please go to System>Administration>Software Sources and Check all the options on the first tab and uncheck the CDrom options from the second tab and check the security, recommended and unsupported updates on the thrid tab. | 16:56 |

| Solarium | How can i make my firefox and pidgin windows transperent ? | 16:58 |
| chills | Pici, saved my day | 16:58 |
| chills | that's dude... | 16:58 |
| chills | thanks* | 16:58 |
| Pici | chills: sure | 16:58 |
| Slart | parthbakshi: the usual suggestions involve disabling ipv6, making startup scripts run concurrently (althought that didn't do anything for me).. and disabling stuff you don't need/use | 16:58 |
| fde | Solarium: You'd have to patch your GTK to allow it, then find a theme that does it also | 16:58 |
| Slart | Solarium: using compiz (Desktop effects)? | 16:58 |
| fde | Slart: Not really, Compiz is only the window border | 16:59 |
| Solarium | fde, can't got vesa driver only due to having sis graphics card | 16:59 |
| Slart | fde: not really.. compiz can make windows completely transparent | 16:59 |
| parthbakshi | i have intel 4965 wireless chipset and and 8.10 broke it ,i used to kernel panics every 10 mins so i looked up on the net updated the system with backports kernel now it works fine | 17:00 |
| Solarium | Well can't use compiz any way .. so any other sugestions maybe ? :P | 17:00 |
| parthbakshi | however dmesg gives some errors with the wlan drivers | 17:00 |
| fde | Slart: Its not really the Windows though... heh... hard to explain, but it does a lot in the background with composite to get the effect of it being the window, when really its just an image | 17:00 |
| gaintsura | how would I dump a list of all installed packages? | 17:00 |
| fde | Solarium: No, its impossible without hardware support | 17:00 |
| Slart | Solarium: nope.. without compiz it suddenly gets hard =) | 17:00 |
| Solarium | fde, Slart got ya thanks guys | 17:01 |
| parthbakshi | and i think its affecting gnome startup | 17:01 |
| fde | gaintsura: dpkg --get-selection > somefile ... | 17:01 |
| Slart | fde: well.. with composite we're only seeing images anyway.. or did he/she want just the background to be transparent? | 17:01 |
| Solarium | fde, Slart maybe i can do the "fake" transperent cause i can get my terminal window to look transperent | 17:01 |
| parthbakshi | where is gtkrc file located | 17:01 |
| Slart | Solarium: is it really transparent? or is it just showing the wallpaper? | 17:02 |
| Solarium | Slart, showing wallpaper which will be enought for what i am trying to do | 17:02 |
| Ravi | I have a 512MB 800MHz. machine and installed Xubuntu on it..I love it..but when I fun firefox, it slows everything down..any tweaks that you can suggest? Thanks. | 17:02 |
| Slart | Solarium: ah.. well.. perhaps there are some tricks you can try | 17:02 |
| Ravi | :%s/fun/run | 17:03 |
| fde | Slart: But the entire Window is an image... you cant interact with it via compiz... you'd need GTK to support it... | 17:03 |
| ardchoille | parthbakshi: each gtk theme has its own gtkrc file. Have a look in the folders in /usr/share/themes | 17:03 |
| Slart | fde: oh.. you want to be able to click the window behind the firefox window through the background? that sounds nasty | 17:03 |
| fde | Solarium: Neither of the apps you listed have fake transparency support | 17:03 |
| fde | Slart: not me, Solarium | 17:04 |
| Psi-Jack | Okay. Here's an issue I have. | 17:04 |
| cody-somerville | What does this mean? | 17:04 |

| Psi-Jack | I installed mysql-server stuff, and I imported my own mysqldump'd SQL, but because I did that, debian-sys-maint and mysql have problems now starting and stopping. | 17:04 |
| Solarium | fde, Okay damn shame :( btw i am not trying to click any windows behind windows | 17:04 |
| fde | Slart: But no, he wants to be able to have transparency, and still be able to use the program... which isn't possible in GTK apps... for the 10th time | 17:04 |
| fde | Solarium: yeah, that is Slart's interpretation of what I'm saying, not what I am talking about | 17:05 |
| Solarium | fde, lol i wish people would just hear what i mean and not what say :) | 17:05 |

| Milosz | how do i mount an USB stick so it doesn't constantly complain that it can not "preserve permissions" when copying files? | 17:10 |
| fde | nexus23: sudo aptitude install pastebinit && tail -n50 /etc/messages | pastebinit ... this will output a URL... please tell me it | 17:10 |
| Milosz | must be some option to mount but i don't know which | 17:10 |
| mario | Is here someone who takes care for the keyboard configuration? | 17:10 |
| sysdoc | Anyone have a howto to boot to runlevel 3? | 17:10 |
| nexus23 | k fde | 17:10 |
| Slart | fde: I must be missing something very fundamental about this.. we're still talking about making an application appear transparent.. ie seeing windows/desktop/icons etc behind the window | 17:11 |
| sysdoc | ! runlevel | 17:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel | 17:11 |
| sipior | bkovacs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinepaint/+bug/190791 | 17:11 |
| Slart | fde: and still being able to use the application.. ie click buttons, change focus etc as usual | 17:11 |
| nexus23 | fde, ail: cannot open `/etc/messages' for reading: No such file or directory | 17:12 |
| nexus23 | KeyboardInterrupt catched. | 17:12 |
| Jeaton | is there an apache build for ubuntu? | 17:12 |
| fde | Slart: yes we are... and yes you are... pkill -9 compiz.real and notice what happens to the screen... your windows won't have borders... that's basically all compiz is | 17:12 |
| sipior | sysdoc: you can modify /etc/event.d/rc-default, or just make up a valid /etc/inittab (ubuntu, by default, sadly lacks one) | 17:12 |
| fde | !info apache2 | 17:13 |
| ubottu | apache2 (source: apache2): Apache HTTP Server metapackage. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.9-7ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 43 kB, installed size 100 kB | 17:13 |
| Slart | Jeaton: you can install apache from the repos.. I don't know if it's a special build just for ubuntu though | 17:13 |
| n8tuser | !clone | 17:13 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 17:13 |
| mewshi | I'm putting Ubuntu on my girlfriend's computer :) | 17:13 |
| Slart | fde: but I've just made my firefox window transparent.. and I can still use it.. same thing with something I think is a plain gtk app | 17:13 |
| fde | Slart: screenshot? | 17:14 |
| Slart | fde: have you played around with the full desktop effects setting? wobbling windows? windows burning up.. windows folding up into little airplanes etc | 17:15 |
| Slart | fde: ok.. hang on | 17:15 |
| fde | Slart: you realize I mean clicking on buttons and menu items etc when I say interacting? | 17:15 |
| fde | Slart: I don't mean just moving the window around... which is a job of the window manager | 17:16 |

| * hischild seconds the opinion of slart and pici | 17:27 | |
| fde | zimbres: if you don't know, you're using bash | 17:27 |

| corpse | hi | 17:28 |
| sipior | zimbres: printenv | grep SHELL, or just ps | 17:28 |
| EGOR | @guest yep I installed compiz sttings manager | 17:28 |
| Slart | zimbres: there is probably some kind of enviroment variable.. I don't think sh uses colours and such either | 17:28 |
| stormlord | yo | 17:28 |
| zimbres | I have /bin/sh(symbolic link to dash) and /bin/bash . | 17:28 |
| Arrowhead212002 | .7z= dumb archiving format | 17:28 |
| Slart | zimbres: on my computer sh only uses the prompt "$" | 17:29 |
| Pici | Arrowhead212002: Do you have a question? | 17:29 |
| Slart | !dash | 17:29 |
| ubottu | /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 17:29 |
| fde | sipior: out of curiosity, any reason you don't use 'env' itself? | 17:29 |

| Slart | zimbres: I think dash and sh are pretty compatible..if not totally compatible.. bash and sh on the other hand do some things differently | 17:32 |
| sipior | chills: if it automounts, what would you do with the GUI? | 17:32 |
| Arrowhead212002 | for compiz try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 17:32 |
| fde | chills: there is "Disk Mounter" if you right click panel > Add to panel > Disk Mounter | 17:32 |

| chills | thanks fed | 17:32 |
| chills | fde, | 17:32 |

| vesayth | Hello! I just have a small question, more of an annoyance than a problem. My trash bin says there is 1 item in trash but there is absolutely nothing in it. Anyone have any idea why? It started happening after my upgrade to 8.10 (on 64-bit). | 17:46 |
| tavi---- | hello | 17:47 |
| xylog | savid did you restart sshd after you changed the settings ? | 17:47 |
| sysdoc | Does anyone know of a cpanel clone for Ubuntu? | 17:47 |
| hischild | savid, you have to connect using ssh -X (capital X, not lowercase) <remote host>. | 17:47 |
| iso50 | fde: Nevermind I had an extra firefox window open. Thanks | 17:47 |
| tavi---- | someone cam give me a video capture software | 17:47 |

| fde | iso50: lol :) | 17:47 |
| savid | xylog, why would I need to restart sshd on the client? | 17:47 |
| tavi---- | i mean a profesionall one!!!!!!!! | 17:47 |
| savid | hischild, I'm using capital X | 17:47 |
| ikonia | savid: you wouldn't | 17:47 |
| Slart | vesayth: mm.. I get that too.. at the moment I have 2 items.. I just wish it would trust me to tell it when it's empty | 17:47 |
| xylog | you need to allow it on the server | 17:47 |
| tavi---- | and that work fine | 17:47 |
| ikonia | xylog: no you don't | 17:47 |
| tavi---- | not in steps | 17:48 |
| ikonia | savid: ignore that, your fine | 17:48 |
| savid | xylog, It is allowed on the server. X11Forwarding is set to yes and has been for a long time | 17:48 |

| vesayth | slart: Ok. It just sounds like a bug fix that I need to wait on then. I'm just anal about having empty trash >.> lol | 17:48 |
| thegve | sipior, according to the web interface the work printer is now "processing, accepting jobs" after I send a print. I just get a balloon thing on my desktop telling me the printer is not connected. Web interface status does not change. | 17:48 |
| ikonia | RobH1: the ubuntu firewall does not block dns | 17:48 |
| OsamaK | adam7, (or anybody else) I just installed Ubuntu on the USB in the very normal way (just like on local HD), it worked great, but once I plug-it-off, it shoes me a "GNU GRUB error", I guess it just edited the boot sittings of the computer itself. Anyway to solve this problem | 17:48 |
| Slart | RobH1: I think there are some howto's on the opendns site | 17:48 |
| hischild | savid, so let me get this right ... you're connecting via ssh -X <host>, and the $DISPLAY variable remains empty? | 17:49 |
| fde | ikonia: well, if you block the DNS ip, it would...... | 17:49 |
| Guest65717 | what will happen if I stop every process is running | 17:49 |
| Slart | vesayth: hehe.. actually I haven't searched in launchpad.. can't really say I've tried finding out why it behaves the way it does.. but removing it and adding it again fixes it for me | 17:49 |
| ikonia | fde: by default | 17:49 |
| sipior | thegve: hmm. you might try asking in ##cups, see if anyone there has a better idea of what the problem might be. | 17:50 |
| cwillu | savid, sorry, was afk, what os was the server again? | 17:50 |
| fde | Guest65717: your system will restart | 17:50 |
| reformer81 | So what can I do if I've forgotten my password (and I'm the system admin) | 17:50 |
| savid | hischild, yes, $DISPLAY is empty on the server | 17:50 |
| savid | cwillu, both client and server are ubuntu | 17:50 |
| Slart | reformer81: boot into recovery mode | 17:50 |
| fde | Guest65717: easier to just do 'sudo shutdown' though | 17:50 |
| === mike is now known as RawSushi | ||
| savid | server is ubuntu hardy, client is ibex | 17:50 |
| hischild | savid, The server on a local network? if so, please tell me the line you're using to connect. | 17:50 |
| fde | Guest65717: uhh, not restart, shut down | 17:50 |
| Slart | reformer81: then use "passwd" to set a new password.. man passwd for that manual goodness | 17:50 |
| cwillu | savid, what's the exact commandline you're using? | 17:50 |
| Guest65717 | ... | 17:51 |
| reformer81 | Slart: What's the command to change another user's password, though? Is it pwd [user]? | 17:51 |
| Guest65717 | so restart or shut down | 17:51 |
| reformer81 | ahhh... | 17:51 |
| cwillu | savid, and is it a regular user that you're logging into? | 17:51 |
| reformer81 | Slart: Thank you. | 17:51 |
| ikonia | savid: just a thought is the server running a server install ? | 17:51 |
| savid | cwillu, yes regular user | 17:51 |
| Slart | reformer81: I think so.. I'm not sure though.. so check that man page | 17:51 |

| savid | cwillu, ssh -x hostname | 17:51 |
| savid | doh | 17:51 |
| fde | Guest65717: If you end every process, your system will shut down... basically | 17:51 |
| savid | that's not it | 17:51 |
| savid | ssh -X hostname | 17:51 |
| Slart | !alternate | edmoore | 17:51 |
| FloodBot1 | savid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:51 |
| ubottu | edmoore: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 17:51 |
| hischild | savid, copy paste the line please | 17:51 |
| cwillu | savid, -X presumably :p | 17:51 |
| cwillu | big X, not little x | 17:51 |

| === bkovacs[A] is now known as bkovacs | ||

| savid | It's simple. ssh -X hostname.com | 17:52 |
| tavi---- | someone help me? | 17:52 |

| Guest65717 | i'm just stop it | 17:52 |
| Slart | edmoore: ah.. that hurts.. | 17:52 |
| reformer81 | RawSushi: No.... sadly you cannot play your games with a virtual machine | 17:52 |
| reformer81 | Slart: Thanks again. | 17:52 |
| sipior | savid: what's happens if you turn on some verbosity with -v? | 17:52 |
| cwillu | savid, can you pastebin the sshd_config from the server, and the ssh_config from the client? | 17:52 |
| Slart | edmoore: there are ways of doing it.. but I doubt it will be faster than getting the other cd | 17:52 |
| RawSushi | reformer81: well I meant in Linux | 17:52 |
| RawSushi | I need my nividia driver when using Linux | 17:52 |
| tavi---- | a name of a software for video capture | 17:52 |
| RawSushi | I don't need it in the virtual machine. | 17:52 |
| reformer81 | RawSushi: Oh, then yes of course. | 17:53 |
| hischild | savid, set DISPLAY variable on the server to localhost:10.0 and see if it forwards. | 17:53 |

| Marsjanin | Hello. I tried to burn on CD-R a file, thats tame contains some Chinese letters. K3B doesn't like it... :/ WIth Joliet/RR says (even if just symulating or making ISO) "cannot determine size of target image" or sth similar. And with UDF used instead, it burns, and cannot verify. The CD mounts on no drives. | 17:54 |
| edmoore | Slart: I guess i can't install LVM 'posthumously' - it's gotta be done at install? | 17:54 |
| dmartinez | canal es español | 17:54 |
| savid | ikonia, yes | 17:54 |
| ikonia | edmoore: you can install it post install fine | 17:55 |
| Slart | edmoore: oh.. I have no idea.. I've only thought about installing lvm myself | 17:55 |
| hischild | savid, give it a go with -Y instead of -X. | 17:55 |
| Slart | !es | dmartinez | 17:55 |
| ubottu | dmartinez: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 17:55 |
| ikonia | savid: on your client, run xhost+ then setyour display on the server connectied client to $CLIENT_IP:0.0 | 17:55 |
| edmoore | ikonia: likewise raid0? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | edmoore: yup | 17:55 |
| fde | edmoore: Yes, you have to install with LVM if you want to use it... why do you want to though? | 17:55 |
| diffred | dmartinez: nope | 17:55 |
| ikonia | edmoore: however raid0 can't be used as a boot partition and is also suicide | 17:55 |
| edmoore | basically i downloaded the normal 8.10 disc and want to do raid0 lvm, didn't realise you couldn't | 17:55 |
| edmoore | why is it suicide? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | edmoore: because the slightest inconsistancy with any of the desks and your file system is dead | 17:56 |
| savid | hischild, tried -Y, no difference | 17:56 |
| savid | crap | 17:56 |
| ikonia | s/desk/disk | 17:56 |
| savid | ikonia, my local IP? or my public IP? | 17:56 |
| edmoore | ikonia: recommendations instead? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | savid: whatever one the server can talk to | 17:56 |
| fde | edmoore: ahh, this is a server? are you planning on expanding partitions and adding to the storage? | 17:57 |
| ikonia | edmoore: buy a big disk, | 17:57 |
| savid | both server and client are NAT'd | 17:57 |
| ikonia | edmoore: use multiple partitions on small disks | 17:57 |
| ikonia | edmoore: use lvm without raid | 17:57 |
| hischild | savid, ok ... do this --> export > file.tmp, then star out any info you can't give, and pastebin the result. | 17:57 |
| fde | ikonia: raid is fine on lvm | 17:57 |
| savid | hischild, on the server or client? | 17:57 |
| ikonia | fde: raid0 isn't | 17:57 |
| edmoore | fde: no desktop, I just don't trust anything to a single disc | 17:57 |
| hischild | savid, login with ssh -X <host> then do the export | 17:57 |
| ikonia | fde: corruption on the drive = =lvm dead | 17:57 |
| ikonia | edmoore: you don't trust a single disk, but you trust raid 0 ?/? | 17:58 |
| edmoore | mmm - I guess that's wrong | 17:58 |
| fde | ikonia: software raid is suicide... but hardware raid + lvm is my preferred server set up :/ | 17:58 |
| edmoore | maybe I could just daily cron sda to a zip on sdb | 17:58 |
| ikonia | fde: not with raid 0 | 17:58 |
| ikonia | edmoore: why not use raid 1 mirroring ? | 17:58 |
| Slart | fde: why is software raid suicide? | 17:58 |
| OsamaK | Well, how to remove GRUB (or edit it settings to boot directly to Windows without the 'menu' thing): I installed Ubuntu on an USB, but the installer changed machine settings, it shows a GRUB error when I unplug the USB, how to fix this problem? | 17:58 |
| ikonia | edmoore: then you have redudant disks if your disks are important to you | 17:59 |
| fde | ikonia: no... I don't even understand why you'd use raid0 ... no parity | 17:59 |
| ikonia | fde: you wouldnt thats what I'm saying - he WANTS to | 17:59 |
| edmoore | ikonia: ok, raid1 it is | 17:59 |
| Slart | fde: or you're just talking about software raid0 ? | 17:59 |
| edmoore | ikonia: can I set up raid1 mirroring after a standard desktop install? | 17:59 |
| edmoore | this would be software raid1 | 17:59 |
| === jeee is now known as shovi | ||
| ikonia | edmoore: not at install time, but you can certainly do it post install | 17:59 |
| ikonia | edmoore: software raid one (linux, not fake raid) is a very good option | 17:59 |
| fde | edmoore: again though, unless you plan on changing the partition sizes often, there is no need for lvm... just go with raid for data protection | 18:00 |
| === sean is now known as Guest63241 | ||
| fde | Slart: both... mirroring without parity is dumb | 18:00 |
| === h[a]kr is now known as hakr | ||

| Photoguy | Is there a way too download albums a different way in the Rythimbox/Jamendo thing? There aren't any seeders for the torrent, can I download normally? | 18:01 |
| goog | How can i find out all files an app opens? strace? I tried "strace -o trace.txt thunderbird" but the output seems to not show all file access. | 18:01 |
| edmoore | how should i partition the second disc? just one big blank space? | 18:01 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: just buy the albums from any music store | 18:01 |
| ikonia | edmoore: install how you want to on disk one, then we'll worry about setting up your mirroring | 18:01 |
| edmoore | thanks | 18:01 |
| fde | edmoore: don't use software raid... if you don't have hardware support for it, raid isn't useful | 18:02 |

| sipior | goog: check out the -p switch on lsof | 18:02 |

| chimp | siggen gives seg fault immediately after running, is there a way I can debug this so I can file a decent bug report? | 18:03 |

| goog | sipior: hmm.. that lists only the currently open files i guess? | 18:03 |
| savid | hischild, http://pastebin.com/m6feb8f3d | 18:03 |
| sipior | goog: yes. otherwise, you're stuck parsing through strace output. | 18:03 |
| Slart | fde: but what if you don't care about speed.. is software still worse than hardware raid? | 18:03 |
| mmh | hello | 18:03 |
| ikonia | fde: thats nonsense, you've got to help users with acceptable solutions, software raid on linux is more than acceptable. | 18:04 |

Meaning, debian-sys-maint wasn't in the dump so it got completely removed, and now Ubuntu's defacto stuff will not use it because debian-sys-maint doesn't exist? I added it manually, changed the /etc/mysql/debian.cnf to match the new password, but it still fails to work proper. | 18:13 |

| Psi-Jack | ikonia: ROughly put, my mysqldump came from within a Win32-run mysql server, so it did not have debiann-sys-maint | 18:16 |

| hischild | Is there any voice-to-text software available? | 18:17 |
| cwillu | savid, you're ssh'ing from the same user that you're logged in as, right? | 18:17 |

| cwillu | savid, and you're running it from an xterm or gnome-terminal or whatever? not a different linux vterm? | 18:18 |
| cwillu | savid, (just (re)checking the obvious stuff) | 18:18 |
| savid | cwillu, just gnome-terminal | 18:18 |
| cwillu | k | 18:18 |
| ikonia | Psi-Jack: so the password is wrong | 18:18 |
| LjL | hischild: the commercial one was IBM ViaVoice, you might still find the (then freely available) SDK somewhere, and that SDK could be used by some open source software | 18:19 |
| Psi-Jack | ikonia: But it's not wrong. I set it in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf myself. | 18:19 |
| Slart | Tonno: tried mencoder? | 18:19 |

| Lappybox | when I go to play a song with Amarok it says output unavailable the device is busy xine | 18:20 |
| pcmagas | can i ask something ? | 18:20 |
| LjL | hischild: yet another possibility is Sphinx (available in the repositories), but i don't think it's really strong in free dictation, rather only in context-specific grammars | 18:20 |
| pcmagas | because i have a problem with my mouse | 18:20 |
| sipior | pcmagas: it wouldn't be much of a help channel if you couldn't ask anything! | 18:21 |
| Slart | pcmagas: go ahead and ask | 18:21 |
| Tonno | ok | 18:21 |
| hischild | LjL, i'm willing to put quite a bit of effort into it, and it only needs to understand a few words. | 18:21 |

| cwillu | savid, you're ssh_config's are pretty much identical to mine, the differences aren't relevant to this | 18:22 |

| The_Undisputable | is it ok if i burn with nero | 18:22 |
| cwillu | your, rather | 18:22 |
| Tonno | Someone here know where I can find the package winff for 8.04 (in .deb format) | 18:22 |

| cwillu | akahige2, if by 'removable' you mean 'they have an eject icon', that's expected. One needs to unmount shares too | 18:39 |

| Lappybox | ASULutzy, did you see the output? | 18:40 |
| akahige2 | cwillu: I do mean that, but when I browse them, nautilus says things like "these files are on a picture cd" and has a bar to open f-spot -- which is REALLY what I'd like to get rid of | 18:41 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: So it does recognize your sound card, that's a good start | 18:41 |
| cwillu | kneeki, desktop/app settings are stored in the . folders in your home directory, which you can just copy over. Global machine settings are in /etc, although it's typically not appropriate to do generally | 18:41 |

| Lappybox | ASULutzy, so if it recognizes my hardware then has to be soft right? | 18:41 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: Try lspci -v | less and find a line that has "Audio device" and paste all that | 18:42 |

| zphyr | have goy any good soft book | 18:46 |
| sipior | Soopa: vim, emacs, any of twenty others. | 18:47 |
| ASULutzy | Soopa: For Perl stuff you could just use gedit or vim, but if you want an IDE (which is perhaps a bit silly depending) you can use eclipse and install EPIC | 18:47 |
| Lappybox | ASULutzy, did you see my post on pastebin | 18:47 |
| akahige2 | cwillu: that didn't seem to help any. but thanks for the suggestion | 18:47 |
| zphyr | i use perleidt and notpad++ in windows | 18:47 |
| cwillu | Soopa, gedit has basic support | 18:47 |
| zphyr | and scite on linux | 18:47 |
| kneeki | cwillu: How do I go about copying those hidden files from terminal? There is not an XCOPY command in Ubuntu -_- | 18:47 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: I did, it recognizes your card and uses the correct driver, so trying to think what the issue is | 18:47 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: sudo alsa force-reload | 18:47 |
| Soopa | okay, thanks sipior, ASULutzy, and cwillu | 18:47 |
| Alastair_ | cwillu, yea i've decided i'll use it, after all they declared it "stable" some time ago... | 18:47 |
| zphyr | any perl coder here in the room | 18:47 |
| Soopa | I'll probably stick with gedit :-) | 18:48 |
| ASULutzy | zphyr: /join #perl | 18:48 |
| cwillu | kneeki, cp -r, rsync (cp on steroids), or just copy/paste from nautilus | 18:48 |

| zphyr | thank you | 18:48 |
| kneeki | cwillu: Ah, I didn't think nautilus would work. Thanks =) | 18:48 |

| cwillu | akahige2, smb:// mounts should work fine (installing gvfs-fuse will even allow legacy apps to use the mount point) | 18:49 |
| Lappybox | ASULutzy, did that but stillnothing, basically amorak doesnt play anything back niether does ryhtum box | 18:49 |
| cwillu | akahige2, mounting them somewhere other than media might do the trick | 18:49 |

| ASULutzy | Soopa: I would go to the eclipse website and download it from there (there's no sense installing it, that's what's nice about eclipse, you can just run it from a folder) and then from inside of eclipse, you can install the EPIC plugin | 18:50 |
| Soopa | ASULutzy: aha, I see.. thanks, I'll do that | 18:50 |

| ASULutzy | krishnan: I would suggest googling external wireless adapter and linux, I can tell you I have a wireless USB adapter that is supported by the RTL8187B drivers, but I'm not going to say you should definitely buy the one I have | 18:51 |
| akahige2 | cwillu: fair enough | 18:51 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: Yea... I think we may have hit the limit of my usefulness, I believe there's an #alsa channel | 18:51 |

| Katangawise | couseuse82run command su <command> | 19:14 |
| darkrubicant | n8tuser, how do I use that dd? How do I find out where the Windows xp and Ubuntu boot location is in the MBR? | 19:14 |
| moog_ | and i want ubuntu for home use | 19:14 |
| coeus82 | If i'm logged in as a user that is not root, then sudo won't work | 19:14 |
| Katangawise | couseuse82 run command like: su <command> | 19:14 |
| Edward123 | moog_, well if you're not largely going to be using it as a server (e.g. apache etc) then go for desktop | 19:14 |
| darkrubicant | n8tuser, could I get a little more help I'm not an expert on using UBC | 19:14 |
| Edward123 | the only difference will be the software installed moog_, and you can always install more later with synaptic the package manager | 19:14 |
| n8tuser | darkrubicant-> dd always starts at beginning | 19:15 |
| Emin | can anyone help me with themes on ubuntu? | 19:15 |
| moog_ | i felt that server is faster .. | 19:15 |
| darkrubicant | what's dd? | 19:15 |
| darkrubicant | when I load the Ultimate boot disc it comes up with options on what I can use | 19:15 |
| moog_ | i can install server than bring the gnome | 19:15 |
| zx80user | I've just upgraded firefox as per the update pushed through manager-update and now it doesn't work - just displays a grey panel. Is this happening to anyone else? | 19:15 |
| Edward123 | moog_, unlikely. i'd imagine it will just be the choice of packages | 19:15 |
| moog_ | then* | 19:15 |
| bartmon | Hello! Can anyone direct me how to configure Ubuntu as a VPN dial-in client ? My router supports road warrior dial-in nd i'd like to connect to it (NOT to an openvpn server). | 19:15 |
| moog_ | i see | 19:15 |
| moog_ | but they say server is optimized for 686 only | 19:15 |
| coeus82 | when I do "su" I get authentication error because I'm logged in as a user who doesn't have sudo priviledges. | 19:15 |
| coeus82 | Almost like a guest account | 19:15 |
| moog_ | also it uses pae | 19:15 |
| mrsmurfing | I had two NICs in my ubuntu vmware server, and I just removed one... the server is not running on the other NIC.. how do I reconfigure it to work on this NIC | 19:16 |
| coeus82 | but I want to quickly log in as root through terminal, is this possible? | 19:16 |
| Slart | coeus82: sudo -i | 19:16 |
| moog_ | also virtualization is better in the server version | 19:16 |
| mrsmurfing | The NIC is configured in ubuntu, and I can log into the server, but not the vmware console | 19:16 |
| darkrubicant | n8tuser, guess I'm looking for more information because i'm not understanding what you're telling me to do :( | 19:16 |
| Slart | coeus82: I don't know how su works in ubuntu with all the focus on sudo | 19:16 |
| igge | how can I find out what wireless network car I have? | 19:16 |
| fryguy | igge: lspci -vvv | 19:16 |
| moog_ | lspci maybe | 19:16 |
| zx80user | igge lspci | 19:16 |
| Psyrix21 | i was hoping some1 can help me install beep-media-player | 19:16 |
| moog_ | is the 8.04 better than 8.10 ? | 19:17 |
| Psyrix21 | in ubuntu 8.10 | 19:17 |
| igge | ok thanks! | 19:17 |
| n8tuser | darkrubicant-> man dd something like dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda_backup bs=512 count=1 | 19:17 |
| bartmon | Psyrix21: Can't you find in Synaptic? | 19:17 |
| Edward123 | hrm well i'm not sure about PAE moog_, i guess that's down to the kernel. let's see if someone knows more about this | 19:17 |
| moog_ | thank you | 19:17 |
| Slart | moog_: define "better" =) | 19:17 |
| darkrubicant | ok so where it says boot: | 19:17 |
| darkrubicant | I can type man dd, and enter that command? | 19:17 |
| moog_ | faster , much stable ? | 19:18 |
| Psyrix21 | well....im trying to install through terminal using "sudo aptitude install beep-media-player" | 19:18 |
| moog_ | i felt that 8.10 loads faster | 19:18 |
| Slart | moog_: imho it feels a bit faster.. but on the other hand they broke some kernel modules.. my webcam doesn't work anymore | 19:18 |
| moog_ | i see .. | 19:18 |
| bartmon | moog_: Well 8.04 is an LTS release so it should me more stable but not quite bleeding edge. | 19:18 |
| Psyrix21 | and its saying "Couldn't find any package matching" | 19:18 |
| darkrubicant | Psyrix21, try synaptic manager? | 19:18 |
| moog_ | hard to choose | 19:19 |
| doudou | how can i change my keyboard from console | 19:19 |
| moog_ | i might get a 64bit server | 19:19 |
| coeus82 | sudo -i doesn't work.. it asks for the password for "john" which is the user that is logged in.. then it says that john is not in the sudoers file | 19:19 |
| bartmon | Psyrix21: The program is then in a differently-named package. Try "bmpx". | 19:19 |
| darkrubicant | alright n8tuser i'll try doing man dd from that prompt. | 19:19 |
| Slart | coeus82: this is the original user created at installation? | 19:19 |
| Psyrix21 | i'll give it a try | 19:20 |
| moog_ | i like the latest gnome | 19:20 |
| coeus82 | Slart: no, it's a new user. That user is logged in, but rather than me logging into my account (which is the original user) I want to do quick root stuff through his account by logging in throug terminal | 19:20 |
| ryan-c | I'm trying to create a raid array, any ideas what's going wrong here? | 19:20 |
| ryan-c | mdadm -C -e 1.1 --bitmap=internal --name=xtb_raid --level=6 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 missing missing | 19:20 |
| ryan-c | mdadm: You haven't given enough devices (real or missing) to create this array | 19:20 |
| Lappybox | Im having trouble with INTEL HD audio with a pulseaudio sound server any ideas? | 19:20 |
| Slart | coeus82: ahh.. why not add the user you're using now to the admin group then.. that will enable sudo I think | 19:21 |
| Slart | coeus82: but I think sudo might be able to do that too.. or su.. hang on.. let me check | 19:21 |
| bartmon | moog_: AMD64 has been supported for a long time so 8.04 is available for it as well. | 19:21 |
| coeus82 | hmm, but I don't want him to sudo... However, whenever he has a problem, i'd like to just go in there myself and fix it without having to switch user. Basically login through terminal | 19:22 |
| moog_ | yes , i know , i wonder if i have a cd somewhere | 19:22 |
| ASULutzy | ryan-c: and you've definitely got the drives correctly setup using fdisk? | 19:22 |
| ryan-c | er | 19:22 |
| zx80user | ok, nobody answering so I assume it is just me | 19:22 |
| Slart | coeus82: what does "su <youroriginalusername>" do? | 19:22 |
| ryan-c | need to have /dev/mdXX after the -C | 19:22 |
| darkrubicant | alright here goes | 19:22 |
| ryan-c | but | 19:22 |
| ryan-c | now it's sayding | 19:22 |
| wepeel | Hi all. I just upgraded to 8.10 on an older Dell Inspiron. When I use the function key (Fn) and the LCD bightness keys, Gnome hangs up and the keyboard stops working. Logging out and logging back in resolves the problem, but it happens everytime I use Fn+brightness. Any ideas? | 19:22 |
| Lappybox | anyone ever solved Intel hd audio issue using pulseaudio? | 19:23 |
| Slart | zx80user: no such problems for me | 19:23 |
| Psyrix21 | bartmon, there are three packages bmpx, bmpx-dbg, and bmpx-dev.......should i do all three? | 19:23 |
| ryan-c | no | 19:23 |
| jordi_ | hi everyone | 19:23 |
| ryan-c | well i re-created the partitions and it worked\ | 19:23 |
| moog_ | im running 8.10 on a IBM Thinkpad T23 , Pentium 3 1Ghz | 19:23 |
| zx80user | Slart thanks, guess I'll try an X restart and then a reboot and then just cry :) | 19:23 |
| moog_ | im impressed | 19:23 |
| coeus82 | Slart: I think that might work | 19:23 |
| Slart | zx80user: that's what I do when my nvidia driver misbehaves =) | 19:24 |
| coeus82 | Slart: ya, that seems to work | 19:24 |
| Slart | coeus82: yay | 19:24 |
| bartmon | Psyrix21: No, you don't need all three. "bmpx" is enough. | 19:24 |
| Psyrix21 | k | 19:24 |
| jordi_ | i'm using hardy and experiencing some lag-related problems when i use vlc, kaffeine or mplayer. The sound comes 1 second later or so than the picture. Has anybody experienced this? it's not defenetly the computer itself, as i'm monitoring it through snmp and the processor never gets busier than 40% | 19:25 |
| coeus82 | :) | 19:25 |
| Lappybox | ANYONE ? | 19:25 |
| moog_ | is this freenode ? | 19:25 |
| Slart | jordi_: I've seen that on a few movies.. mostly hd stuff I think | 19:25 |
| coeus82 | moog_: yes | 19:25 |
| jdizzle | anyone making progress mapping alt-b to previous word in xterm?? | 19:25 |
| moog_ | ha | 19:25 |
| moog_ | i didnt knew | 19:25 |
| jordi_ | that always happens, when i play avi files or watch dvb-s | 19:25 |
| Slart | jordi_: I've just used the players audio synchronization features | 19:25 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: The folks in #alsa didn't have any clue? | 19:25 |
| Pici | geremy: Yes, you need to register on launchpad to file a bug. | 19:25 |
| fryguy | jdizzle: works out of the box for me | 19:26 |
| zx80user | Slart X restart fixed it, actually :-) | 19:26 |
| Pici | geremy: sorry, mistab | 19:26 |
| Slart | zx80user: yay.. cookies for everyone! | 19:26 |
| dvo | Hi all! Can I add RAID1 + encryption to an LVM partition? (Some older Howto I've read went with RAID1 first, and then LVM on top of it; not knowing that, I started with an LVM install and don't want to scrap everything.) | 19:26 |
| Pici | gregor: Yes, you need to register on launchpad to file a bug. | 19:26 |
| jordi_ | Slart: does kaffeine have this feature? can i set that delay? or may be vlc? | 19:26 |
| Lappybox | ASULutzy, I worked with them but apparently Im using pulseaudio not alsa and Im not having any luck on threads so far | 19:26 |
| vatts | how do i run .deb install in console? | 19:27 |
| moog_ | worths to install 64bit ? | 19:27 |
| vatts | moog_, nope, half of things are broken | 19:27 |
| fryguy | vatts: dpkg -i | 19:27 |
| moog_ | vatts: do you want to install somethoing from a deb package ? | 19:27 |
| vatts | and if you install 32 on 64 it'll fail | 19:27 |
| moog_ | then dpkg -i , yes | 19:27 |
| vatts | fryguy, thanks | 19:27 |
| Slart | jordi_: it's probably buried deep in some config dialog.. mplayer has a keybind that changes the delay | 19:28 |
| ASULutzy | Lappybox: You could always trash pulse and use alsa? http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/ | 19:28 |
| moog_ | then im gonna install 8.04 i386 server edition | 19:28 |
| moog_ | and try it | 19:28 |
| vatts | did anyone try to install newest uck? | 19:28 |
| vatts | it fails at me :< | 19:28 |
| moog_ | i like the live cd concept | 19:28 |
| therealnanotube | vatts: what's uck? | 19:28 |
| therealnanotube | vatts: is it missing an "f"? :) | 19:29 |
| md22 | for a system with 4GB ram which ubuntu version is best to use 64bit or 32 bit ? | 19:29 |
| melter | had anyone had problems with firefox dialogs showing on the wrong screen after the last update? | 19:29 |
| fryguy | md22: 64bit | 19:29 |
| vatts | therealnanotube, GO FREAKING GOOGLE LMAO | 19:29 |
| jordi_ | Slart: ok, it must be very deep hidden though, heheh, cause i've been the whole afternoon looking for it :) i'll try to find it. thanks. | 19:29 |
| md22 | ok | 19:29 |
| Slart | jordi_: you're welcome.. hope you find it | 19:29 |
| therealnanotube | vatts: yea, i know, i couldn't resist the joke. :) | 19:29 |
| vatts | therealnanotube, then stop motherepicfail | 19:30 |
| md22 | never thought the day would come where i remove my windows parittion and format it in ext3 :) | 19:30 |
| === TMN_ is now known as xtmnx | ||
| therealnanotube | vatts: :D | 19:30 |
| Lappybox | ASULutzy, Im sorry can you explain what you mean | 19:30 |
| vatts | some people's jokes like yours are making me goes mad therealnanotube | 19:30 |
| Kope | anyone know how to install WoW WoTLK? I have the dvd mounted , installer pops up in wine, but it won't let me accept the EULA. | 19:31 |
| Lappybox | ASULutzy, http://pastebin.com/m47c3e615 | 19:31 |
| camerongroom1 | does anyone know how I can install adobe flash on my linux system? | 19:31 |
| fryguy | Kope: ask in #wine, or check the appdb on wine-hq | 19:31 |
| therealnanotube | vatts: it's a good thing my jokes are different from those other people's, then. :) | 19:31 |
| jdizzle | fryguy: alt-b does back a word in xterm? | 19:31 |
| Darkfuzion | help my screen freezes on an acer ferrari 3000 after two mins use what does that mean?????????? | 19:31 |
| fryguy | camerongroom1: install the flashplugin-nonfree package | 19:31 |
| fryguy | jdizzle: that's what i said, yes | 19:31 |
| camerongroom1 | no the program | 19:31 |
| jdizzle | it works for me in terminal, but not in xterm | 19:31 |
| Psyrix21 | ty bartmon....worx | 19:32 |
| hendrixski | camerongroom1, when you visit a website which requires flash, a little thing pops up that asks if you'd like Ubuntu to install flash for you | 19:32 |
| fwaokda | how can i kill a program from terminal? | 19:32 |
| fryguy | camerongroom1: you mean the development environment? | 19:32 |
| * vatts no comment | 19:32 | |
| fryguy | fwaokda: use the kill command | 19:32 |
| ASULutzy | fwaokda: see kill and pkill | 19:32 |
| moog_ | kill -9 pid | 19:32 |
| NemesisD | anyone else have any ideas how to fix a missing gnome-panel ? | 19:32 |
| hendrixski | fwaokda, read the man page for "kill" | 19:32 |
| camerongroom1 | I mean the program flash cs4 | 19:32 |
| moog_ | heh | 19:32 |
| therealnanotube | NemesisD: run "gnome-panel" from the terminal? | 19:32 |
| fryguy | moog_: don't kil -9 unless it's necessary. sending sigkill causes it to forcefully exit and will prevent onclose signal handlers from running, so that it will not clean up. It should be used as a last resort | 19:32 |
| fwaokda | ASULutzy, fryguy, hendrixski, thanks | 19:32 |
| Darkfuzion | no ideas? | 19:32 |
| hendrixski | camerongroom1, oh... that thing.... Do you have a Linux version of it? If not, then use Wine to install the .exe I don't know how well that will work though | 19:33 |
| moog_ | and what decides if its necesarry or not ? | 19:33 |
| NemesisD | therealnanotube: says a panel is already running. when you kill it, it instantly respons the proc but i can't see the panel anywhere | 19:33 |
| NemesisD | :| | 19:33 |
| camerongroom1 | ok | 19:33 |
| ASULutzy | moog_: I was about to type that, you shouldn't -9 everything | 19:33 |
| Darkfuzion | ? | 19:33 |
| moog_ | matter of coice | 19:33 |
| moog_ | choice | 19:33 |
| ASULutzy | moog_: Try killing it normally first, always give things a chance to cleanup and die gracefully before exploding them. | 19:34 |
| moog_ | ok | 19:34 |
| moog_ | thanks | 19:34 |
| vatts | ASULutzy, asploding maybe? :D | 19:34 |
| ASULutzy | moog_: In the way that shooting yourself in the foot or not is a matter of choice ;) | 19:34 |
| fryguy | moog_: if kill itself doesn't work, then move on to kill -9. the manpage has a list of common signals with a brief definition of them. | 19:34 |
| zephyr | i have question | 19:34 |
| hendrixski | Anybody recommend a screen-scraping solution where it can fill out a form and iterate through the resulting links finding the email address in the linked page? | 19:34 |
| hendrixski | !ask | zephyr | 19:34 |
| ubottu | zephyr: 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. :-) | 19:34 |
| zephyr | why floodBot has green light before his name | 19:35 |
| jdizzle | fryguy: are you sure you were testing with an xterm and not the terminal (ie alt-f3 brought up terminal) | 19:35 |
| zephyr | ? | 19:35 |
| etyrnal | ha! i just came here today to tell You all that i DIDN"T need any of Your help... and i DID RTFM! ha ha Consider Yourselves useless for the day... err i mean un-needed.. Kidding around. Happy Holidays to ALL. | 19:35 |
| fryguy | jdizzle: yes, i tested it both with my usual urxvt, and an xterm | 19:35 |
| Darkfuzion | so does anyone know if if the hard drive fails if it keeps freezing after trying to update ubuntu???? | 19:35 |
| raylu | hendrixski: it's easier to just parse the html | 19:36 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: Hmm? | 19:36 |
| hendrixski | zephyr, FloodBot1 is admin on the channel | 19:36 |
| moog_ | that might be a hardware problem | 19:36 |
| raylu | hendrixski: as far as filling a form, send the http request with the appropriate get/post information | 19:36 |
| Darkfuzion | like what hard ware??? | 19:36 |
| moog_ | like hdd broken ? | 19:36 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: If you want to check how your hard drive is doing, you could do sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda (or whatever the drive in question is) | 19:36 |
| Darkfuzion | i said hard drive | 19:36 |
| hendrixski | raylu, ah, that makes sense... | 19:37 |
| moog_ | well , my english is bad , sorry :) | 19:37 |
| moog_ | haha | 19:37 |
| AslanMan | hi, anyone knows a good program that compares files (php for example) other than Kompare ? | 19:37 |
| Darkfuzion | ???? | 19:37 |
| fryguy | AslanMan: diff | 19:37 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: But what is your actual problem?The whole system locks after doing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 19:37 |
| Darkfuzion | ahhhh like fujuti | 19:37 |
| NemesisD | AslanMan: vim-diff | 19:37 |
| jdizzle | fryguy: maybe it has something to do with the fact I'm using dvorak... | 19:37 |
| moog_ | whats tet fujuti | 19:37 |
| InfamousBytes | Why can't I post on the ubuntu forums? | 19:37 |
| moog_ | that* | 19:37 |
| Darkfuzion | it locks when im in windows too | 19:37 |
| ASULutzy | jdizzle: You use dvorak? lol | 19:37 |
| hendrixski | raylu, so the page I'd get after entering the data (through get/post) will have links. I would just parse info from those links separately... there's no program that can automate this? I'd have to write it in like Groovy, or Ruby, or.. something, right? | 19:37 |
| juliannojungle | hi all | 19:37 |

| jimjimhim | do I edit/proc/asound/modules? | 19:40 |
| ays | thats why you cannot reply/post anything... | 19:40 |
| keres | InfamousByte: the thread is dead/locked. | 19:40 |
| Suhail | I got something weird going, /bin/sh says python not found when running a crontab even though I can execute python just fine--any ideas? | 19:40 |
| ays | guys, anyone here uses Qt? | 19:40 |

| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: As in it's too hot inside your computer. You should do what I said and check what SMART says about your drive, because it could be RAM, it could be thermal, it could be your hard drive | 19:40 |
| juliannojungle | i've tried a lot to make webcam work on local amsn, but nothing works... | 19:40 |
| === bluey is now known as Bluey_ | ||
| Darkfuzion | ? | 19:40 |
| fryguy | Subdolus: crontab runs using a different path than a normal user, specify the full path to python in the crontab entry | 19:40 |
| raylu | Suhail: what's the crontab entry? | 19:40 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: You should run memtest, check the SMART info, check case temps | 19:41 |
| === Bluey_ is now known as _Bluey__ | ||
| Darkfuzion | how do i do that | 19:41 |
| fryguy | Suhail: read above | 19:41 |
| InfamousBytes | ays Thanks, didn't even notice that. But why would they make it read only? | 19:41 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: Start by reading | 19:41 |
| Darkfuzion | reading | 19:41 |
| hendrixski | raylu, you were right though: http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Solvent | 19:41 |
| Suhail | raylu: the crontab entry is correct, I updated my python to 2.6 | 19:41 |
| Suhail | fryguy: hm interesting | 19:41 |
| The_Undisputable | i have tried to install on free space in my hard drive | 19:41 |
| raylu | Suhail: ...apparently not... | 19:41 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: If you want to check the health of a hard drive (let's say it's drive sda), then you would do the following-- sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | 19:42 |
| mker | Darkfuzion, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983 I had to use this just yesterday and bookmarked it | 19:42 |
| _Bluey__ | someone please help me. i m trying to connect my ipod touch with my itunes on a virtual XP machine on VBox... but i cant seem to connect it :( | 19:42 |
| Suhail | raylu: It worked before I updated my python version | 19:42 |
| ASULutzy | Darkfuzion: If you want to run memtest, restart and boot off a livecd and run memtest | 19:42 |
| raylu | hendrixski: woah, impressive | 19:42 |
| bernie_ | what is a good p2p client to use any more | 19:42 |
| chiliblue_ | how would I auto run something in this case a java app as a user at bootup | 19:42 |
| chiliblue_ | ? | 19:42 |
| mker | bernie_, what kind of p2p you want? | 19:42 |
| hajmola | after a recent update, my laptop won't wake up from suspend if the power is connected. It will wake up reliably on battery, but if the power is plugged in it will not wakeup and requires a hard reboot | 19:42 |
| moog_ | hfsplus saved me | 19:42 |
| juliannojungle | nobody? | 19:43 |
| bernie_ | i dunno i was using limewire for individual songs and files and azureeus for full cds | 19:43 |
| juliannojungle | well, i think that im at the wrong place... ^^'' | 19:43 |
| The_Undisputable | did i downloaded the right package | 19:43 |
| ASULutzy | bernie_: I prefer rtorrent, all command line, but powerful | 19:43 |
| Suhail | oh interesting, I figured out the problem | 19:43 |
| moog_ | azureus is bugged , on 8.10 | 19:43 |
| hendrixski | raylu, yeah, and the screencast is sweet | 19:43 |
| ays | InfamousBytes, maybe it got obsolete or when ubuntu got updated it stopped being "relevant" God knows... | 19:43 |
| _Bluey__ | someone please help me. i m trying to connect my ipod touch with my itunes on a virtual XP machine on VBox... but i cant seem to connect it :( | 19:43 |
| hendrixski | raylu, thanks for the inspiration :-) | 19:43 |
| bernie_ | i was wondering if any of yyou guys new of some good appz for getting music | 19:43 |
| raylu | hendrixski: heh, no problem | 19:43 |
| mker | moog_, what do you mean azureus is bugged? | 19:43 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: You have to use the non-open-source-edition of VBox | 19:44 |
| hendrixski | bernie_, yep, go to deezer.com :-) never need to download music again, just play it on demand | 19:44 |
| hajmola | _Bluey__, why do you need itunes, just use exaile or amarok | 19:44 |
| moog_ | it keeps downloading and installing some .jar file | 19:44 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: you'll have to uninstall the open source edition and go to the virtualbox website to get the non OSE edition | 19:44 |
| moog_ | then it asks for restart | 19:44 |
| chiliblue_ | bernie_: is there a need now Amazon music store has a linux client | 19:44 |
| moog_ | and start over again | 19:44 |
| _Bluey__ | ASULutzy: yes i am using non open source edition | 19:44 |
| jimjimhim | anyone good with sound problems? | 19:44 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: You may have to add a line to /etc/fstab | 19:44 |
| bernie_ | i still have a cd player in my car and like to burn cds though | 19:44 |
| moog_ | k3b is good | 19:45 |
| _Bluey__ | hajmola: does exaile work with 2nd get ipod touch? | 19:45 |
| M3nelvagor | jimjimhim: I got sound problems | 19:45 |
| mker | moog_, not for me it doesn't (vuze 3.1.1.0). try going into settings and turning automated updates off, but I don't think I had to do that. | 19:45 |
| hendrixski | bernie_, you can also get music through magnatunes music store in Amarok music player | 19:45 |
| hendrixski | it's better than iTunes | 19:45 |
| _Bluey__ | ASULutzy: yes i did that too | 19:45 |
| moog_ | update it to 4.0.0 | 19:45 |
| hendrixski | bernie_, or you can do illegal stuff by downloading music files, but I don't recommend that, we're not big fans of that around here | 19:45 |
| hajmola | _Bluey__, not sure... probably not with video | 19:45 |
| moog_ | thats the bugged version i guess | 19:45 |
| keres | i'm having trouble with amarok. it won't start | 19:45 |
| hendrixski | hope that helps! | 19:45 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=125,devmode=664 0 0 something like this (You'll want to modify the devgid= part to match the group id of VBoxUsers | 19:45 |
| hajmola | my laptop won't wake up from suspend if the power is connected. It will wake up reliably on battery, but if the power is plugged in it will not wakeup and requires a hard reboot | 19:46 |
| moog_ | i like deluge | 19:46 |
| mker | hendrixski, doesn't have to be illegal, there's plenty of free music. And it probably depends on where you live too. | 19:46 |
| _Bluey__ | ASULutzy: yes i have done that :( | 19:46 |
| * hendrixski loves this place. I come and get a question answered, I answer a few people's questions. It works out well | 19:46 | |
| fwaokda | how can i uninstall songbird? | 19:46 |
| M3nelvagor | Anybody know another way to unmute sound? Alsamixer is open full, but still I get no sound | 19:46 |
| moog_ | apt-get remove songbird | 19:46 |
| ASULutzy | USB passthrough definitely works in Intrepid with VBox, so you should double check | 19:46 |
| moog_ | sudo | 19:46 |
| Edward123 | fwaokda, or synaptic? | 19:46 |
| hendrixski | mker, there's also deezer.com or songza.com where you don't have to DL the music in the first place. i'm a big fan | 19:46 |
| moog_ | i like songbird | 19:46 |
| hendrixski | mker, but where is there free music? | 19:46 |
| moog_ | is awesome | 19:46 |
| _Bluey__ | do u want to see a screenshot of what it looks like? | 19:46 |
| _Bluey__ | ASULutzy: do u want to see a screenshot of what it looks like? | 19:46 |
| moog_ | on my machine , hendrixski | 19:47 |
| bernie_ | i believe in free mp3s and have been downloading music since the pcs were only 66.6 mhz | 19:47 |
| shoot^ | hey guys. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server from a USB Stick (followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick) but I am getting errors about a lack of a CDRom. Any ideas? | 19:47 |
| moog_ | i have like 400 Gb :)) | 19:47 |
| jadestorm | Can I ask a powerpc ubuntu related question in here or does it have to be the -powerpc channel? (it seems kinda dead) =) | 19:47 |
| camerongroom1 | how do you do a screenshot in linux haha? | 19:47 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: Sure, can you plug in USB mice and stuff? | 19:47 |
| fwaokda | moog_, I'm going to try reinstalling it because it didn't work after installing this first time. said it had an invalid pointer | 19:47 |
| moog_ | hm | 19:47 |
| moog_ | camerongroom1: printscreen in gnome , workd for me | 19:47 |
| hendrixski | hhmmm | 19:47 |
| ASULutzy | camerongroom1: printscreen gets the whole screen alt+printscreen captures just the window with focus | 19:48 |
| hendrixski | Ok, anyway, I'm off to play with firefox's screen-scraper. This looks awesome! | 19:48 |
| moog_ | jadestorm: do you want to install ubuntu on a powerpc computer ? | 19:48 |
| Besogon | How can I get my own "uid" in console? | 19:48 |
| mker | hendrixski, I know there's a site with indie music that you can download but I can't remember the name right now :( If you like streaming music Spotify is pretty neat, the songs are in ogg vorbis and they have instructions for Wine on the site until Linux version comes (basically just install it and it works). | 19:48 |
| raylu | Besogon: echo $UID | 19:48 |
| moog_ | whoami | 19:48 |
| moog_ | i managed to save my data from a hfs partition , and transfer it onto a NTFS one | 19:49 |
| moog_ | this is great | 19:49 |
| moog_ | via ubuntu live cd | 19:49 |
| M3nelvagor | anybody here with sound driver knowledge? or using a dell ? | 19:49 |
| Besogon | raylu: thanks | 19:49 |
| hendrixski | mker, spotify ... lemme take a look | 19:49 |
| raylu | !sound | M3nelvagor | 19:49 |
| ubottu | M3nelvagor: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 19:49 |

| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: at the bottom right of the windows vm window you'll see some icons. the one that looks like a "usb plug" click that and see if your ipod is listed there | 20:04 |
| darkrubicant | jim, I'll get you a link one sec. | 20:04 |
| mon^rch | can somebody help me setup my webcam? | 20:04 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__, Scunizi_: Oh, I just assumed you were actually connecting the device. | 20:04 |
| _Bluey__ | Scunizi_: it is listed but its greyed out | 20:04 |
| darkrubicant | http://jamestombs.co.uk/2008-05-05/getting-creative-x-fi-to-work-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron-8/608 | 20:04 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: are you a member of the vbox group? | 20:04 |
| darkrubicant | that applies to essentially all creative cards jimjimhim hope that helps. | 20:04 |
| darkrubicant | gotta go | 20:04 |
| _Bluey__ | how do i check that? | 20:04 |
| darkrubicant | thanks again ASULutzy | 20:04 |
| _Bluey__ | Scunizi_: how do i check that? | 20:05 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: System>Admin>Group>virtual box | 20:05 |
| jimjimhim | darkrubicant How do I do that? | 20:05 |
| Scunizi_ | none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=125,devmode=664 0 0 | 20:06 |
| raylu | Scunizi_: run "groups" in a termianl | 20:06 |
| raylu | *terminal | 20:06 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: you also need to add the following line in /etc/fstab.. none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=125,devmode=664 0 0 | 20:07 |
| _Bluey__ | Scunizi_: there was only 2 things "root" and "bluey" in the properties box. i ticked against bluey and saved | 20:07 |
| ASULutzy | Scunizi_, _Bluey__: That's only if 125 is actually the correct groupid for vboxusers for him, it may not be | 20:07 |
| mithraic | If I add a second PCI graphics card, will I be able to extend my desktop over the additional monitors? | 20:07 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: then in a terminal type ... grep vboxusers /etc/group to get the righ devgid number to put in that line in fstab | 20:07 |
| _Bluey__ | Scunizi_: i have done the ftab part | 20:07 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: If you weren't a member of the group and now you are, all you'll have to do is log out and back in, and it should work now | 20:07 |
| raylu | mithraic: what graphics cards | 20:08 |
| Scunizi_ | *right | 20:08 |
| mithraic | Or is that only likely to work with multiple displays from the same card>? | 20:08 |
| mithraic | raylu: Am looking at options. | 20:08 |
| _Bluey__ | lemme go check that eral quick | 20:08 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: But you need to make sure that vboxusers' gid is 125 | 20:08 |
| raylu | mithraic: um... how are you going to plug two monitors into the same graphics card? | 20:08 |
| coeus82 | can someone help me get my mouse detected? | 20:08 |
| _Bluey__ | i will reboot just for good measures | 20:08 |
| mithraic | one with two outputs. | 20:08 |
| coeus82 | I'm on ubuntu 8.10 and I can't seem to get HAL to recognize my mouse | 20:08 |
| mithraic | same as i'm doing now :) | 20:08 |
| raylu | mithraic: oh. then of course, that's preferred | 20:08 |
| ASULutzy | _Bluey__: You don't hav to reboot | 20:08 |
| ASULutzy | ugh. | 20:08 |
| mithraic | the thing is, I want three monitors. | 20:08 |
| raylu | mithraic: it sounded like you had one with one atm | 20:09 |
| mithraic | ah, gotcha. | 20:09 |
| raylu | mithraic: then yes, it's possible, though not very easy | 20:09 |
| mithraic | no, the issue now is that the card is ATI, and damn if I can get rotation to work. | 20:09 |
| fudpucker | looks like one of the updates pwned my graphics. i did a fresh install of 8.1 today. then later this afternoon, i decided to do the updates, now when i drag windows between my 2 displays, i see this line, and it moves in conjunction with the window.....anyideas how to fix this | 20:09 |
| raylu | mithraic: though the most trouble involves dynamically reconfiguring it. setting it up once and leaving it there forever is easy | 20:09 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: ASULutzy sometimes you have to reboot.. went round and round trying to restart the right systems yesterday with someone and nothing worked until reboot | 20:09 |
| mithraic | oh, i don't mind, then. | 20:09 |
| raylu | mithraic: i do :( laptop | 20:09 |
| mithraic | i am right in my impression that people have more success with rotation under nvidia cards, yes? | 20:09 |
| ASULutzy | Scunizi_: You have to reboot sometimes, but not when all you did was add yourself to a new group.. He could have just logged out and back in for that one. | 20:10 |
| raylu | mithraic: i wouldn't know | 20:10 |
| ASULutzy | mithraic: If you are asking, "Does fglrx mostly suck?" then the answer is yes | 20:10 |
| seseberg | Hi guys, does anyone have any idea where I could find a good driver for my Dlink DWL-G122? (Ubuntu 8.10) | 20:10 |
| mithraic | ASULutzy: fair 'nuff :) | 20:10 |
| hosoka1 | hello | 20:10 |

| hosoka1 | first timer here :-) | 20:10 |
| Scunizi_ | ASULutzy: yes that's true.. it's the fstab line that typically gets messed up | 20:11 |
| raylu | zakk: why do you need that package? | 20:11 |
| zakk | raylu: which one? | 20:11 |
| raylu | zakk: -dev | 20:11 |

| robbmunson | Guest85418: and what file system does it use? | 20:13 |
| Guest85418 | does anyone know how to clear a comp down using ubuntu then i can reload | 20:14 |
| seseberg | raylu, ndiswrapper is built-in ubuntu 8.10, right? I'm a bit of a n00b | 20:14 |
| raylu | seseberg: no | 20:14 |
| seseberg | ooooooops | 20:14 |
| camerongroom1 | does anyone know a program that is similar to flash for ubuntu? (out puts swf files) | 20:14 |
| Guest85418 | cant get 810 | 20:14 |

| der|kunstler | I would like to add a custom syntax highlight using gedit, can somebody help me ? | 20:14 |
| hosoka1 | Is there anyone here who has experience with, for example, when opening a page and then you see instead of the video picture a fragment of a "play" character ? Previously, I immediately got the video image to see and just click on it and played that ofcourse. Someone experience this before en can tell me what goes wrong here? | 20:14 |
| seseberg | raylu, can I find it in the synaptic package manager? | 20:15 |
| zakk | Jordan_U: it tells me to dpkg --configure -a | 20:15 |

| fryguy | seseberg: untar it and read the README | 20:16 |
| raylu | seseberg: why can't you install from the repositories? | 20:16 |
| raylu | zleap1: yes, why? | 20:16 |
| zleap1 | not sure, i am using 2.4 still | 20:16 |
| fryguy | seseberg: and see if it has an INSTALL file | 20:16 |
| Guest85418 | ok i want a clean comp how do i do it with ubuntu or just in general | 20:16 |
| zleap1 | in calc, does it come up with a dialog box when you delete cell data | 20:16 |
| Neaai | seseberg: check on this: http://www.atlink.it/~conti/articles/d-link-dwl-g122-and-linux/ | 20:17 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: define "clean comp" | 20:17 |
| zleap1 | as one of our members on #dclug is asking | 20:17 |
| Jordan_U | zakk, How did you get to this point? Did you just try to install the package with apt? | 20:17 |
| ASULutzy | bluey: You need to make sure you are in vboxusers, and that the line in /etc/fstab is correct (and that the gid you have there is actually the correct gid of the group vboxusers) then once you do that, you should just create the filter in settings for VBox that says like, "Allow everything" then you the usb icon in the bottom right of VBox should allow you to right click on it | 20:17 |
| seseberg | dude!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!! | 20:17 |
| seseberg | :)) | 20:17 |
| zakk | Jordan_U: I've been using upgrade manager and synaptic | 20:17 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: you might want to head over to #vbox.. they are pretty helpful there and might be able to diagnose what's going on. | 20:17 |
| jorvis | how can I check if I'm getting hardware acc. video after a new install? | 20:17 |
| _Bluey__ | thank you | 20:17 |
| Jordan_U | jorvis, glxinfo | grep direct | 20:18 |
| Guest85418 | how do i format anyone | 20:18 |
| jorvis | Jordan_U - that's what I thought - it says 'Yes' | 20:18 |
| _Bluey__ | Scunizi_: ASULutzy : thank you i will try my luck at #vbox | 20:18 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: what do you want to format to? do you want a wiped hard drive? do you want a linux filesystem, what do you want? | 20:18 |
| seseberg | guest 85418 | 20:18 |
| seseberg | go to www.ntfs.com | 20:18 |

| fryguy | Guest85418: there's no reason to wipe first, but if you are convinced you need to, use that | 20:19 |
| Scunizi_ | _Bluey__: thanks.. didn't know. | 20:19 |
| Guest85418 | lol orry | 20:19 |
| Guest85418 | how do i do that | 20:19 |
| Neaai | seseberg: your mileage may vary though. But that article sheds a lot of light on your problem. | 20:19 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: I guess the question is. Do you want to use Windows or Ubuntu? Because what you format the drive to matters | 20:19 |
| Guest85418 | ubuntu i suppose | 20:20 |
| seseberg | you can always format it to raw | 20:20 |
| seseberg | I mean | 20:20 |
| seseberg | delete the existing partitions..... | 20:20 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: Then you don't need to "wipe it" just pop in the live-cd and tell it to use the entire disk. | 20:20 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: if you want to install ubuntu, the put in the installation disk and install it. it will walk you through partitioning and wipe everything for you, if that's what you want | 20:20 |
| Guest85418 | i have an asus linux system with ubuntu loaded over the top | 20:20 |
| Vooloo | I've had windows XP disc crash, is it possible to create a rescue disc with ubuntu or other linux distro where I can get the files from the harddrive that are still readable? | 20:20 |
| fryguy | Vooloo: just use the livecd | 20:21 |
| Guest85418 | how much gb does ubuntu use | 20:21 |
| Neaai | Vooloo: yes. use the install/liveCD and access the hard drive from there. | 20:21 |
| Sensae | I just installed with the Kubuntu 8.10 disc, restarted. Grub error 17? Why would the installer fail to properly set up grub? | 20:21 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: Do you have an eeepc? | 20:21 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: If you have an eeepc there's a specific Ubuntu distro for the eeepc | 20:21 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: depends on what you install, a default full featured install is 3-4 gigabytes. I doubt anybody in this channel is over 10gigabytes | 20:21 |
| Vooloo | and then what? is it hard to mount the NTFS partitions? how do I transfer files from there to another format? | 20:21 |
| fryguy | Vooloo: you just navigate to the disk and use it, it will mount for your automatically | 20:22 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest6185 | ||
| fryguy | Vooloo: just drag and drop to wherever you want | 20:22 |
| Neaai | Vooloo: it's not hard at all. doubleclicking does the trick, and for the transfer, drag-n-drop does the other trick. | 20:22 |
| Guest85418 | im using a asus netbook its only 8gb | 20:22 |
| Guest85418 | lol | 20:22 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: Then google ubuntu eeepc | 20:23 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: 8gb is plenty for most ubuntu installs | 20:23 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: That might be better for you | 20:23 |
| Guest85418 | whats on it asultzy | 20:23 |
| Guest85418 | is it the same | 20:23 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: it has better driver support | 20:23 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ it's just optimized for a small screen, better driver support, the window manager is easier to use | 20:23 |
| Guest85418 | nice can u give me the link | 20:23 |
| Neaai | Vooloo: basically, stick an usb drive in place, insert the livecd in the drive, reboot, and start transfering once you're in the live environment. | 20:24 |
| Vooloo | ah okay, thanks | 20:24 |
| Guest85418 | i c thats why i was getting flickering | 20:24 |
| goog | Hey People! Is it normal, that under Ubuntu8.04 I cannot use CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to that terminal? (is terminal the right term?) | 20:24 |
| fryguy | goog: no it's not normal | 20:24 |
| seseberg | does ubuntu have like a full device manager | 20:24 |
| Guest85418 | 200mb short of 8.10 | 20:24 |
| seseberg | like windows does? | 20:24 |
| Neaai | goog: and ctrl-alt-f2 ? | 20:24 |
| goog | Neaai: nothing too | 20:25 |
| fryguy | seseberg: not like windows, no | 20:25 |
| Guest85418 | yes its terminal | 20:25 |
| seseberg | damn | 20:25 |
| goog | any other way to get to the other terminals? | 20:25 |
| fryguy | goog: no | 20:25 |
| seseberg | why does everything need to be so command-lineish in ubuntu.......... | 20:25 |
| Neaai | goog: well... you could intentionally kill X and see what happens. | 20:25 |
| fryguy | seseberg: because that's how the system was originally built. X11 was an afterthought. | 20:25 |
| goog | any way to find out what blocks CTRL+ALT+Fx? | 20:25 |
| amine | Hello, I have a few questions about ubuntu - does it use the latest kernel or does it backport security patches to an old stable one? Also, do the repositories have cutting-edge releases or just old stable ones? (e.g. a new version of eclipse comes out, does it get released on the repositories after a few days or after a few weeks when deemed stable/secure)? | 20:25 |
| fryguy | seseberg: and doing things with the command line is almost always faster and easier, so it's the way people tend to do it | 20:25 |
| soho | goog; no it's not normal | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | goog, Try fn+ctrl+alt+F1 ( in case your function keys controll something like screen brightness by default rather than acting as function keys ) | 20:26 |
| seseberg | well...... it just ain't the average person's style u know.... | 20:26 |
| soho | i have no idea except the keys | 20:26 |
| darkrubicant | ok unfortunately unhooking the ide drive didn't change anything. | 20:26 |
| fryguy | seseberg: no | 20:26 |
| darkrubicant | Still got a stop error, this time I recorded it. | 20:26 |
| seseberg | darjubicant, maybe you have BAD sectors on your hard drive | 20:26 |
| seseberg | just my 2 cents | 20:27 |
| fwaokda | Does anyone here know how I could monitor data sent to and from a usb device I connect to ubuntu? | 20:27 |
| ASULutzy | seseberg: I'm sure you can find a GUI app that acts like device manager. I think SuSE has one installed by default doesn't it? | 20:27 |
| goog | Jordan_U: lol, that send my notebook into suspend mode :-) | 20:27 |
| darkrubicant | ALSO why is grub saying that the windows and ubuntu boot loaders are located on a partition that no longer exists, it's saying they are on /dev/sdb2 fdisk doesn't report these as being there... | 20:27 |
| seseberg | I've never tried openSUSE | 20:27 |
| goog | because fn+F1 is suspend. | 20:27 |
| goog | now i dont have a mouse cursor anymore :-( | 20:27 |
| goog | any way to get it back? | 20:27 |
| ASULutzy | darkrubicant: You can use update-grub to fix that I think, darkrubicant if you're installing to a SATA drive, are you doing a slipstream install, or do you have the drivers? | 20:27 |
| Neaai | goog: maybe there's a difference between ALT and ALT-Gr ? (I have an ancient keyb that doesn't have alt-gr and it's still the best of all) | 20:27 |
| _Bluey__ | Scunizi_: hey, what was that non /proc/bus/usb usbfs line u asked to add ?? | 20:28 |
| Necrosan_ | Any better burning software than GAY ASS brasero? | 20:28 |
| darkrubicant | I'm using the windows xp disc | 20:28 |
| fryguy | Necrosan_: k3b | 20:28 |
| ASULutzy | darkrubicant: Because iirc, you need to do that whole "push F6" thing while doing a windows install if you're installing to a SATA drive | 20:28 |
| darkrubicant | what is a slipstream install sorry | 20:28 |
| amine | goog, try ctrl-alt-del to restart X, and then before you log into your account try ctrl-alt-f2/f3/f4 for terminals | 20:28 |
| goog | Neaai: altGR doesnt work either | 20:28 |
| goog | amine: that will probably work | 20:28 |
| Necrosan_ | oh it worked | 20:28 |
| Neaai | goog: you're using that system right now ? | 20:28 |
| fryguy | goog: you have an altGR key on your keyboard? | 20:28 |
| Necrosan_ | i retract my statement | 20:28 |
| goog | Neaai: yes | 20:28 |
| goog | fryguy: yes, tried it, makes no difference. | 20:28 |
| seseberg | why am I wasting my time with ubuntu when I have a Vista license, I just don't know......... sorry guys, I think it's just because I received an original cd and I wanted to try it out | 20:29 |
| seseberg | sorry for bothering you.... | 20:29 |
| seseberg | buhbye | 20:29 |
| Necrosan_ | BRASERO FOR LIFE!!! | 20:29 |
| goog | I wanted to see the other terminals because i noticed on terminal it constantly outputs some error message. Something like "connect debounce faild. port 6 disabled." | 20:29 |
| ASULutzy | darkrubicant: You can't install XP to SATA without drivers generally, you can either create an XP slipstream disc (which automatically loads the drivers) or you can mash F6 when it prompts you to and put a floppy in with the drivers | 20:29 |
| Neaai | goog: well kill X with ctrl-alt-bkspc at least to see whether you can get the terminals after X reloads. | 20:29 |
| goog | Neaai: no, it has been like this for days. | 20:29 |
| hischild | ASULutzy, you can, i've done it dozens of time . | 20:29 |
| darkrubicant | how would the xp disc not have sata drivers for a western digital device, I thought about that, and then told myself no microsoft can't be that stupid | 20:29 |
| hischild | ASULutzy, without drivers, slipstreaming or anything | 20:30 |
| darkrubicant | it loads all kinds of sata drivers, but not western digital ones. | 20:30 |
| ASULutzy | hischild: It dpeends | 20:30 |
| fryguy | ASULutzy: that is only the case if you have raid support or ahci enabled in the bios, if neither of these are enabled then it will install just fine with no extra drivers | 20:30 |
| Neaai | goog: and when you do: sudo "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" can you get the terminals ? | 20:30 |
| darkrubicant | ASULutzy, I swear to god, I've installed it without sata drivers before... | 20:30 |
| ASULutzy | darkrubicant, fryguy: Yea, what fryguy said | 20:30 |
| ASULutzy | darkrubicant: I dunno, WIndows isn't really my speciality, could try joining #windows ;) | 20:30 |
| goog | Neaai: i guess so. I cant try right now, because then irssi goes to hell. | 20:31 |
| jimjimhim | Can anyone help me with my sound problem. I am trying to install a Sound Blaster Audigy SE and I get no sound =( | 20:31 |
| Neaai | goog: don't be lazy to reconnect :p | 20:31 |
| darkrubicant | well the stop error I'm getting says it could be from a bootsector virus, which shouldn't be possible, and that should only be causing intermittent loads not a stop error everytime I try to run the setup disc. | 20:31 |

| Neaai | goog: yeap, suit yourself | 20:31 |
| Jordan_U | goog, screen + irssi = nirvana | 20:32 |
| ASULutzy | darkrubicant: did you try "helping" windows out? use fdisk to set the partitions up correctly and then mkfs it to NTFS? | 20:32 |

| Guest85418 | does anyone know about formatting before an iso install of ubuntu-eee 8.04 | 20:33 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: you ever get ubunutu on that troublesome system? | 20:34 |
| fryguy | Guest85418: you've already asked and been answered, multiple times. do you have a new question? | 20:34 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: no | 20:34 |
| karn` | ok im tryin to install xubuntu ibex and it locks up and the moniter goes blank while its loading the install, i checked the integrity and did a mem test and it seems to all be good.... | 20:34 |
| fryguy | onetinsoldier: well yes, it's installed and freezes on boot now | 20:34 |
| onetinsoldier | fryguy: i see | 20:34 |
| onetinsoldier | oh | 20:34 |
| Guest85418 | if i understood do u think i would re ask with a new find | 20:34 |
| ASULutzy | Guest85418: For the 10th time, you don't have to format. Just put the CD/USB stick in, and tell it to use the whole disk. | 20:34 |

| JonathanD | Anyone know how I can get firefox on ubuntu 8.10 working with websense? | 20:36 |
| SZ | Can somebody tell me how to put background color of the text of the icons permanently (not when they are selected) ? | 20:37 |
| ASULutzy | Amun: It's not like using firefox on Ubuntu is massively different than using IE in Windows | 20:37 |
| fryguy | SZ: change your desktop background color | 20:37 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: how would IE work differently with websense ? | 20:37 |
| SZ | SpArTaKo perdoname, yo no se. | 20:37 |
| JonathanD | Websense here is tied to active directory, I have valid credentials for it, but it doesn't prompt like a typical proxy. | 20:37 |
| n2diy | fryguy, didn't work? | 20:37 |
| fryguy | SZ: in the appearance menu | 20:37 |
| fryguy | n2diy: works for me, no idea | 20:37 |
| SZ | fryguy, I tried nothing | 20:37 |
| Amun | fryguy: whats the best transition. like, how should i get him accustomed to it. i can't just shove it down his throat.... | 20:37 |
| SZ | I have wallpaper | 20:37 |
| ASULutzy | Sensae: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 20:37 |
| fryguy | Amun: no idea what you mean | 20:38 |
| JonathanD | Neaai: IE and FF both work on windows. websense relies (I believe) on the active directory login status of the user on the machine. | 20:38 |
| SZ | I don't want desktop color | 20:38 |
| Amun | windows to ubuntu is different. | 20:38 |
| onetinsoldier | _Zeus_: use 'aptitude' to find out why... open up aptitude in a terminal. search for the nvidia-glx-180 package and when it's highlight, press your '+' key. tell me if you have more questions when you've gotten that far | 20:38 |
| SZ | I have some light wallpaper, and I can't see the icons | 20:38 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: yes, but does IE use Active Directory? you're suggesting it does. | 20:38 |
| SZ | the icon text | 20:38 |
| Jordan_U | Amun, Put two huge icons on thee desktop, one for firefox and one for picasa | 20:38 |
| JonathanD | Neaai: IE can use AD. I don't think it is in this case (otherwise I Should be getting a proxy login prompt on FF) | 20:39 |
| JonathanD | Neaai: I suspect websense actually checks if the machine the request is coming from is logged into AD> | 20:39 |
| Pici | JonathanD: Indeed, thats exactly what happens. | 20:39 |
| fryguy | so then log your machine into AD | 20:40 |
| neo644 | I need help running wxSand 4.4 on Ubuntu. Whenever I run it, I get: ./fsg-4.4: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libexpat1 installed. | 20:40 |
| JonathanD | Pici: any idea how I can get ubuntu to qualify? | 20:40 |
| JonathanD | fryguy: I tried. | 20:40 |
| elbac | When I try to instal Ubuntu on my computer (it has 7.10 on it now) run I run the cd it hangs after I select install to harddrive. Any ideas? It's a Thinkpad T60 | 20:40 |
| ASULutzy | Amun: I think you are overestimating the trickiness of Ubuntu. The fiance's eeepc has Ubuntu installed and she's not computer savvy whatsoever and she's able to navigate around just fine, the thing tells you when you need updates, it places all the tools you'd expect in logical places in the menu, etc. | 20:40 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: you want to use ubuntu then to replace windows in a network that uses AD ? | 20:40 |
| JonathanD | I tried following this. http://anothersysadmin.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/howto-active-directory-authentication-in-ubuntu-804/ | 20:41 |
| cmoijuju | elbac, your computer boot or not? | 20:41 |
| JonathanD | Neaai: no, I want to use ubuntu on a second desktop to suplement my windows machine. | 20:41 |
| JonathanD | on a network that uses AD. | 20:41 |
| elbac | It boots with the currently installed version, however when I try to install it fresh it hangs at "Loading" after I select install to harddrive (or boot live for that matter) | 20:41 |
| Pici | JonathanD: I've never gotten my linux computer at work to properly work on our websense controlled internet access. I'm not sure if authenticating to AD will do it for a Linux machine. | 20:42 |
| fwaokda | I'm getting this error ( fuse: bad mount point `/media/mtp': No such file or directory ) when doing this in terminal ( sudo mtpfs /media/mtp -o allow_other ) anyone know why? how I can resolve this? | 20:42 |
| JonathanD | Pici: thats a shame :( | 20:42 |
| Pici | JonathanD: I didn't spend that much time on it though. | 20:42 |
| fryguy | fwaokda: sudo mkdir /media/mtp | 20:42 |
| ASULutzy | fwaokda: sudo mkdir /media/mtp | 20:42 |
| JonathanD | Pici: I have other means to get around it, but I'd rather do it correctly. | 20:42 |
| Pici | JonathanD: Perhaps you can tunnel your traffic through your Windows PC? | 20:42 |
| cmoijuju | elbac, you have just ubuntu on your computer or it's un multi boot? | 20:43 |
| mker | The control bar in VLC when going full screen has disappeared for me and I don't know if I did it somehow. Is there a setting to activate it again? | 20:43 |

| newlongtestname | I'm using Ubuntu server 8.0.4 without a GUI, just command line, and I've been trying to figure out how to change the resolution, I've looked for 2 hours with no answers...any pointers? I want to change the number of rows and columns of text that appear upon boot... | 20:44 |
| cmoijuju | elbac, do you try in safe mode? | 20:44 |
| MegafEee | hi, what is linux? | 20:44 |
| Pici | JonathanD: Oh, that works. iirc, there is also a client application that can run on windows computers if they are not on AD. I didn't have access to that file, but perhaps that can run under wine. I don't think there is a linux native binary for it. | 20:44 |
| elbac | cmoijuju, let me try to figure out how to boot into safe mode | 20:44 |
| Sensae | I fired up grub. Typing "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns Error 15: File not found. Typing root (hd0,1) returns error 21: Selected disk does not exist. What's going on here? | 20:44 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: And what about adding a second ethernet to the windows machine, do NAT from it and feed the connection to your linux? This is just an idea though. | 20:44 |
| hischild | !linux | MegafEee | 20:44 |

| JonathanD | Neaai: I can't really do that. Long term, I'm exploring this as the possibility of deploying linux to some folks here. Websense is going to stick around though, so I need to find a broadly deployable way to do this. | 20:45 |
| fwaokda | thanks fryguy , ASULutzy | 20:45 |
| elbac | Jordan_U, I just tried the CD in another ThinkPad T60, and the same thinghappened (not the best test) but I'm going to burn a new CD... | 20:45 |
| Sensae | Why wouldn't grub be able to see any of my drives? | 20:45 |
| cmoijuju | elbac, in my opinion you have a component which loose his driver | 20:45 |
| excitatory | how can one reinstall a package AND automatically reinstall its dependencies? I've scoured the net and forums.. doesn't seem possible | 20:45 |
| Guest59141 | LIST | 20:46 |

| SOURdiesel | i just installed intrepid on my ideapad y530. when i open gparted it reads sda1 as using 7.1GiB and 1.1GiB of swap. is this correct? | 20:46 |
| n2diy | fryguy, the command here was /server | 20:46 |
| SOURdiesel | oops 11.1GiB of swap | 20:46 |
| ASULutzy | SOURdiesel: You probably don't need 11 GiB of swap space | 20:47 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: I'm affraid you'd want to check the openLDAP related documentation. Which is overly complicated for my tastes. | 20:47 |
| JonathanD | Pici: I have to wonder if there isn't another way to authenticate. | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | excitatory, Right now, if you run "sudo apt-get -f install" do you get any message about any packages that aren't needed? | 20:47 |
| excitatory | ASULutzy, no, i'm trying to REINSTALL.. i'm making a custom apt repository dvd for my friend's offline install.. i want to install amarok, but i need apt to download its deps so that it will have those too. | 20:47 |
| JonathanD | Neaai: well, I'm already logging into ubuntu using an AD account. This part works. | 20:47 |
| SOURdiesel | ASULutzy: i know. but i'm trying to figure out why it set that partition so large? | 20:47 |
| JonathanD | and in fact my desktop is showing up in AD | 20:48 |
| ASULutzy | SOURdiesel: I never let it do anything auto, better to set them by hand IMO | 20:48 |
| masterspry | hey good day. | 20:48 |
| excitatory | Jordan_U, that's not what i'm trying to do.. read a few lines up | 20:48 |

| marge | I seem to have worong sound card driver loaded. How can I change the module that is loaded? | 20:48 |

| masterspry | i have upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 and somehow my flashplayer ins't working. | 20:48 |
| JonathanD | but I still get blocked by websense ;) | 20:48 |
| marge | lsmod | 20:49 |
| SOURdiesel | ASULutzy: why would it read the sda1 partition as using 7.1GiB? | 20:49 |
| masterspry | i have tried many methods but somehow Firefox is not dectecting it or i don't know really nay help on that? | 20:49 |
| tavi---- | who can give me this kind of things in linux ubuntu? http://www.mircscripts.org/archive/scripts | 20:49 |

| mrcucumber | I need a feature of the current 2.6.25 or greater kernel, however my intrepid installation only has 2.6.24, does anyone know why it's not auto updating to the newer versions shown on launchpad (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux) ? | 20:50 |
| cmoijuju | masterspry, you must install manually flashplayer | 20:50 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: I'd check the messages that websesnse generates for these failed attempts. I'm not familiar with websense though, just heared of it. | 20:50 |
| marge | I have PulseAudio loaded but sound card is really AC97 | 20:50 |
| hischild | mrcucumber, because those kernels aren't in the main repo's yet | 20:50 |
| masterspry | so how can i do that? | 20:50 |
| ASULutzy | excitatory: What about apt-get build-dep | 20:50 |
| mrcucumber | hischild:how might I get them? | 20:50 |
| mlm | is there a way to get a HVR950 TV tuner to work on Ubuntu 8.10???? | 20:50 |
| Pici | marge: PulseAudio is what controls the sound on Hardy and higher. | 20:50 |
| excitatory | ASULutzy, isn't that only for source? when i run it for the amarok package it doesn't work | 20:50 |
| Pici | !pulse | marge | 20:50 |
| ubottu | marge: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 20:50 |

| masterspry | yeah sure | 20:51 |
| hischild | !kernel | mrcucumber | 20:51 |
| ubottu | mrcucumber: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 20:51 |
| masterspry | i hope it helps. | 20:51 |
| hischild | mrcucumber, take a look at those pages, but manually download the kernel you need. | 20:51 |
| ASULutzy | excitatory: Well, maybe what Jordan_U said wasn't a bad idea... I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but you could install amarok, then sudo apt-get remove amarok, and then when you do -f install it'll tell you about all the unnecessary packages you have installed--those packages are the dependencies for amarok | 20:51 |
| marge | alsamixer comes up and says PulseAudio | 20:51 |
| hischild | ASULutzy, there's an easier way ( excitatory ) | 20:51 |
| marge | Trying to get Skype to work. | 20:51 |

| Neaai | JonathanD: but I tell you one thing. In a previous job I had, they used AD and websense and all. Now, with a liveCD, I'd boot up, set the ip addresses and gateway and nameservers as they were in windows, and Iwas good to go. | 20:52 |

| excitatory | hischild, i knew there had to be :D | 20:52 |
| marge | Not sure what to do. | 20:52 |
| Jordan_U | excitatory, If you apt-cache show amarok you can get all of the dependencies, then just feed them to "apt-get install --reinstall" | 20:52 |
| excitatory | I'm this close to just mirroring the official repos | 20:52 |

Also, do the repositories have cutting-edge releases or just old stable ones? (e.g. a new version of eclipse comes out, does it get released on the repositories after a few days or after a few weeks when deemed stable/secure)? | 20:53 |
| ubottu | masterspry cmoijuju: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:53 |

| hischild | excitatory, you need the entire dependency chain for a given application? | 20:53 |
| mrcucumber | hmm actually, looks like I have hardy installed instead | 20:53 |
| Neaai | JonathanD: that means you use maybe a newer release of websense. Or maybe it was deploied otherwise in my case. idk. | 20:53 |
| hischild | cmoijuju, don't suggest using an RPM please. | 20:53 |
| ASULutzy | amine: Heh, you get a brand new release every 6 months, how much more cutting edge do you want ;) | 20:53 |

| amine | ASULutzy, I don't really care about the ubuntu versioning system.. I care about the version of the application running on the system | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | Something else... | 20:55 |
| mrcucumber | any advantage of using 64bit over 32bit? | 20:55 |
| fryguy | mib_mbbh9h: ubuntu typically uses less resources than windows, is free, has a more customizable interface, provides robust programming environments for a variety of programming languages | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | when logging in using AD, I get "Internal error" "Failed to initialize HAL!" | 20:55 |
| fryguy | mrcucumber: faster in some applications, and able to address more ram | 20:55 |
| hischild | amine, the problem is that the versions used in a given version of ubuntu are matched to each other. | 20:55 |

| ASULutzy | mib_mbbh9h: lol, what? | 20:57 |
| Neaai | mib_mbbh9h: the linux tcp-ip stack is the fastest there is in the os arena. If you use servers, you can easily jail them in chrooted environments to get more control in case of breaching. | 20:57 |
| hischild | mib_975o21, fryguy, take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 20:57 |
| fryguy | Neaai: that is not true | 20:57 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mbbh9h: I guess that translates to, "Linux doesn't have Microsoft Visual Studio." haha | 20:57 |
| hischild | fryguy, it is, as this is a support channel, not a discussion channel | 20:57 |
| mib_mbbh9h | fryguy: Except for graphical stuff, configurability and resources, there is no major difference? | 20:57 |
| Neaai | fryguy: which part ? | 20:57 |
| mib_mbbh9h | ASULutzy: Nope | 20:57 |

| mooglenorph | I googled around for book reviews, but everything I could find seemed to be much more advanced than that. | 20:58 |
| fryguy | mib_mbbh9h: not that I know of. You asked a question that is well answered and documented on the wiki, and the full response is several pages long | 20:58 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mbbh9h: Please educate yourself. Google mandatory access control, look up the merits of a mostly modular OS, look at userspace etc... There's plenty of literature on the topic, no sense trolling. | 20:58 |

| excitatory | hischild, yea.. i'm not having trouble manually looking up deps.. i just want a more automated solution since i have several dozen apps i want to do this with. | 20:59 |

| Solarium | moogle, i searched for same type of info / book but didn't find anything nocive friendly | 20:59 |
| Solarium | moogle, so i reserted to using google / frums for the more simplistic questions, the problem i only learn when i have "problems" | 21:00 |
| mib_mbbh9h | ASULutzy: Not trolling here, and btw, I have already read tons of websites on this topic. | 21:00 |
| Neaai | fryguy: well about solaris I read something about it around one year ago. freebsd I could believe to be good. but the article about solaris mentioned some things that made me think about it. didn't understand it all, but seemed a pretty decent article to me. | 21:00 |
| Solarium | mooglenorph, , i searched for same type of info / book but didn't find anything nocive friendly | 21:00 |
| fryguy | mib_mbbh9h: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows <-- some basics | 21:00 |
| hischild | excitatory, use apt-proxy to store the packages on a given system, then copy those over to his system? | 21:00 |

| Jimi__Hendrix | can you install xubuntu from a USB? | 21:03 |
| Neaai | mib_mbbh9h: one thing I remember for example is process isolation. linux claims better, but I can't know for these things are beyond my grasp. | 21:03 |
| [Spooky] | fryguy: You have any tip of a good tool? | 21:03 |
| Talendel | I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed, with the educational add-ons included, but I need to remove access to certain features of the OS. I'm putting this together for a friend's kids, and he wants them to have all the edu stuff, but doesn't want them to be able to go on the 'net, and I want to make sure that their account is restricted. Not familiar with how to do that as I'm more of a RH/SLAX user, so Deb is new to me. | 21:03 |
| fryguy | [Spooky]: dpkg | 21:04 |
| Jimi__Hendrix | autoidentif | 21:04 |
| Jimi__Hendrix | sorry | 21:04 |
| Jimi__Hendrix | can you install xubuntu from a USB? | 21:04 |
| fryguy | Jimi__Hendrix: yes | 21:05 |
| ASULutzy | Jimi__Hendrix: Sure why not | 21:05 |
| [Spooky] | fryguy: Thanks. | 21:05 |
| Neaai | Talendel: for package management, synaptic is your friend. | 21:05 |
| Talendel | Neaai: Been using synaptic. I've got the packages installed, and removed, accordingly. | 21:06 |
| Neaai | Talendel: for network related things, I use /etc/network/interfaces | 21:06 |
| Talendel | Neaai: I just want to make sure that, after I turn it over to them, the *kids* can't mess around with any of that. I need to know how to limit their accounts from even being able to *see* this other items. | 21:06 |
| Jimi__Hendrix | how would i do it? | 21:07 |
| fryguy | !usb | Jimi__Hendrix | 21:07 |
| ubottu | Jimi__Hendrix: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 21:07 |
| Neaai | Talendel: well, the usual *nix tools come handy the same way. chown, chmod, iptables, etc. | 21:07 |
| Jimi__Hendrix | thank you | 21:07 |
| bartmon | Hi! If anyone uses VirtualBox, can you tell me which command your Applications menu shortcut executes? | 21:07 |
| Talendel | Neaai: I'll check /interfaces, and see what I can do in there. Thank you for that. | 21:07 |
| * Talendel nods | 21:07 | |
| fryguy | bartmon: virtualbox | 21:08 |
| Thark | Hello, after inserting my live CD Ubuntu starts to load up then all I see is a mess of garbled lines. I have a GeForce 6800 GS, what could be the problem? | 21:08 |
| Neaai | Talendel: tailoring systems, any system, is best done 'old school'. And those are all there in any flavor of linux. | 21:08 |
| Talendel | Okay. I just wasn't sure if there were different calls to be made, or if there was a different syntax. Not really familiar with the Deb structure, and don't want to bork it. | 21:08 |
| fryguy | Thark: your computer doesn't work with the liveCd. try the alternative install | 21:08 |
| bartmon | fryguy: Which version are you using? OSE? | 21:08 |
| === Guest39167 is now known as amarelunix | ||
| fryguy | bartmon: yes | 21:08 |
| fryguy | bartmon: not on ubuntu, but that is the name of the executable that ubuntu uses | 21:09 |
| Neaai | Talendel: one you'll get to glance it, I'm sure you'll like it. More as time will go by :) | 21:09 |
| fryguy | bartmon: when you install from the repository | 21:09 |
| Neaai | once* | 21:09 |
| Talendel | What I was familiar with, in RH, was the 'Session Manager' option. Let you configure what a user was allowed to even see, after login, along with everything else. | 21:09 |
| Talendel | And, still, thank you for the advice and the info! | 21:09 |
| Neaai | Talendel: see as in what sense ? | 21:09 |
| bartmon | fryguy: I have the proprietary Sun version and it doesn't install any app called virtualbox. The weird thing is that I just upgraded to 2.10 and the menu shortcut just disappeared. | 21:10 |
| Talendel | I really wasn't sure what I was getting into with this, but I had been told that Ubuntu was the easiest for people to get into, so I figured I'd give it a shot, for his kids. | 21:10 |
| CarlFK | is there a command line way to upgrade from hardy to ibex? (that does not include editing sources.list... trying to avoid that) | 21:10 |
| Slart | !upgrade | CarlFK | 21:10 |
| ubottu | CarlFK: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 21:10 |
| fryguy | bartmon: did the propriety version install into /opt? | 21:10 |
| Talendel | Neaai: As in, what programs even appeared in the menu/on the desktop/in the panels, what they were allowed to access, what commands they had access to and didn't, and whether or not they could add or remove anything, and whether or not they could make changes to the panels, themselves. | 21:11 |

| fryguy | bartmon: I don't think that is the right executable, but you can try it | 21:12 |
| bartmon | fryguy: Wait, i realised what i just wrote :P | 21:12 |
| Neaai | Talendel: I'm not familiar with rhel. I'm sure there's something similar to this in ubuntu/debian but i haven't had the need to after all. You might ask for advice in #debian as well. I can tell you're not affraid you're not afraid to mess with the system so it's quite fine :) | 21:12 |
| bartmon | fryguy: I tried launching it already but I get an error: "Unknown application - VBox" even though something is installed by that name. :/ | 21:12 |
| Quartz | does soemwone now how i can change the irc-server at the opera irc-client(sry for my bad english) | 21:13 |
| Quartz | someone | 21:13 |
| Talendel | Neaai: I've had my hands dirty in code, before. Nothing new there, LoL! My main concern is, since the structure is new to me, and I'm trying to have this ready and out the door so that he's got time to wrap it and all(holiday gift for the kids), I want to make sure I don't bork anything, and have to go and fix it before they really even get much use out of it. | 21:13 |
| Freeaqingme | I want to do some QoS, should I look at L7, or something else? | 21:14 |
| Talendel | And, I'll check out #debian. They may very well have some suggestions or advice. | 21:14 |

| diffred | CarlFK: oh yeah that's it !! thanks :) | 21:30 |
| ubottu | EvilPizza: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 21:30 |
| kurrata | <EvilPizza>open consule and tipe in blkid it should give out list of uuid | 21:30 |

| vazdyk | Hi, i installed JDK, not from "Add/remove programs" but i copied BIN file from site and installed. And when i type "java" in terminal, it purpose me to install java. How to correct it? | 21:38 |
| fryguy | raylu: nas stands for network attached storage | 21:39 |
| fryguy | raylu: as opposed to SAN, which stands for storage area network | 21:39 |
| raylu | fryguy: does the nas serve the files or is it just attached to something attached to the network? | 21:39 |
| sacabonos | raylu: I need to use NTFS to have full ACL support so I can just dump the file server that I am using | 21:39 |
| sacabonos | fryguy: thanks for explaining that | 21:39 |
| fryguy | raylu: it can either be configured to share via NFS or samba, or in the case of SANs, can use something like fibrechannel or iscsi to export the direct device to another machine via a network protocol | 21:40 |
| vazdyk | any idea? | 21:40 |

| suriro | CoUrPsE|DeAd: you might want to disable drm in xorg.conf | 21:40 |
| raylu | fryguy: so why does he need to build ntfs-3g? | 21:41 |
| raylu | georgy_28: he doesn't have it insatlled | 21:41 |
| fryguy | raylu: if the drive that he is sharing has an ntfs filesystem on it, then he needs ntfs | 21:41 |
| raylu | fryguy: er, why does he need to build ntfs-3g? | 21:41 |
| fryguy | raylu: i have no idea. he's probably wrong | 21:41 |
| raylu | as opposed to just grabbing it from the repos | 21:41 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tk | 21:42 |
| raylu | :( | 21:42 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: when you share via samba or nfs, you are using the cifs or nfs filesystems, not ntfs | 21:42 |
| jrib | bartmon: your mouse uses evdev by default now. Just use xbindkeys or imwheel like before | 21:42 |
| vax_ | hi | 21:42 |
| bartmon | jrib: Thanks, i'll check it out! | 21:43 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: and if you are exporting as iscsi, it's the initiator machine that controls the filesystem, not the target | 21:43 |
| sacabonos | fryguy: so this means that I can't use NTFS with this NAS | 21:43 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: it doesn't mean that at all | 21:43 |
| heril | where is the keymap file located for the purpose of swaping two keys on my keyboard in the console? | 21:43 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: ntfs is a local filesystem, it doesn't get shared over the network | 21:43 |
| hub_ | i have an USB Stick 8 GB. If i Copy 7.2 GB may of Files on it, then it is freeze on random %... why any idea ? | 21:43 |
| raylu | heril: it doesn't exist by default. ~/.Xmodmap | 21:44 |
| raylu | heril: though the default is in /etc/xmodmap or something like that | 21:44 |
| sacabonos | fryguy: just pear with me am sorry for my ignorance. I just need to know if I need to do something to make this NAS work with my current domain and Active directory and have certain users in my Active directory access certain files and such | 21:45 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: no idea | 21:46 |
| raylu | schmidtm: instead of building ntfs-3g, just get it from the repos | 21:46 |
| sacabonos | fryguy: do you know where can I turn to for help, as google isn't that useful when don't know what your looking for | 21:46 |
| heril | raylu: and that works for the tty consoles? | 21:47 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: you'd probably be better served using cifs | 21:47 |
| raylu | heril: of course not | 21:47 |
| raylu | heril: i'm not sure how to get it to work for the ttys | 21:47 |
| fryguy | sacabonos: you aren't accessing the disks locally, so ntfs permission semantics don't mean much | 21:47 |
| raylu | er... | 21:47 |
| heril | that's what I need, I already had it working for X | 21:47 |
| raylu | sacabonos: instead of building ntfs-3g, just get it from the repos | 21:47 |
| sacabonos | fryguy: and how is that working is it similar to NTFS permissions in windows? | 21:48 |
| fryguy | it's the same permissions as windows fileshares | 21:48 |
| tuxracer | Does anyone here know C? | 21:48 |
| raylu | sacabonos: Since Unslung runs a 2.4 kernel, we have to use FUSE v2.5.3 - Try to use the latest version of NTFS-3G which is v1.2812 as of this writing. | 21:48 |
| fryguy | tuxracer: yes, but your question is probably better suited for another channel, such as #c or #programming | 21:48 |
| jrib | tuxracer: ##c | 21:48 |
| raylu | sacabonos: unslung? | 21:48 |

| srinidhi | hi, I'm using ruby ripper, and I keep getting the error: "Cdrom drive sr0 does not exist on your system! Please configure your cdrom drive first" | 22:08 |
| fryguy | srinidhi: try having it use /dev/cdrom | 22:09 |
| edgimar | fryguy: ok, you mean using the proxy plugin. -- how does it work? If I am on channel X, and disconnect from the proxy for an hour, and then reconnect, will I somehow see all the activity during the last hour? | 22:09 |
| Psyrix21 | what would be a better suggestion for running window programs on linux wine or crossover office? | 22:09 |
| Neff | still isn't working | 22:09 |
| fryguy | edgimar: yes | 22:09 |

| ChUmBo | hi all | 22:11 |
| stz184 | hey, after installing updates on ubuntu 8.10 i get icons of disconnected network in notification (no active connection forund), but I am using the internet right now | 22:11 |
| Neff- | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/88804/ | 22:12 |
| Jason_WT | hello, When i open the network connection, I see never next to auto eth0 what does that mean | 22:12 |
| Neff | i want to see sda1 and sda2 | 22:12 |
| Neff | or be able to browse them | 22:12 |
| nevoeiro | is there any problem with update manager? it is showing a popup saying "not all updates can be installed, run a partial upgrade... blabla" ?? | 22:12 |
| stz184 | Jason_WT same to me after installing updates | 22:12 |
| ChUmBo | i have a problem with my system i just cant get in in grafic mode can any one help me? | 22:13 |
| fryguy | !ask | ChUmBo | 22:13 |
| ubottu | ChUmBo: 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. :-) | 22:13 |

| jrib | D0pamine: try using dpkg to purge it | 22:15 |
| jrib | Neff: permanently or only one time? | 22:15 |
| Neff | ? | 22:15 |
| coeus82 | I have an ekiga question, can I ask here? | 22:15 |
| Neff | permanently would be fine | 22:15 |
| jrib | Neff: install and run 'ntfs-config' | 22:16 |

| test34 | When I change my network address to a static one using the GUI (System - Preferences - Network Configuration), it gets reset to DHCP when I reboot, is that a bug ? | 22:22 |
| Neff | yay it worked! | 22:22 |
| Guest13720 | all right i'm sorry | 22:22 |
| Neff | thanks guys | 22:22 |
| Guest13720 | but how open ControlPanel under wine | 22:23 |
| fryguy | test34: yes, there are lots of issues when using network manager with static IPs | 22:23 |
| Jason_WT | is there a way to drag a window from one WS to another? | 22:23 |
| Jason_WT | WS--workspace | 22:23 |
| test34 | fryguy, what should I do ? | 22:23 |
| fryguy | Jason_WT: you can turn that feature on, or just ctrl-shift-arrowkey to move it for the time being | 22:23 |
| Psyrix21 | use compiz | 22:23 |
| fryguy | test34: use /etc/network/interfaces and disable network manager would be my recommendation | 22:24 |
| Neff | so how do i mount these partitions permanently? | 22:24 |
| jrib | Neff: use ntfs-config... | 22:24 |
| fryguy | Neff: add the corresponding lines to /etc/fstab | 22:24 |

| rdavila | hi folks! | 22:24 |
| itsatrick | I have no idea what I did, but for some reason in gnome, my keyboard is disabled and my mouse scroll bar acts like a text zoom. I think I hit something like ALT+SPACE, but I have no idea. | 22:24 |
| rdavila | I've a litle problem with the microphone when I record audio | 22:25 |
| test34 | ./etc/network/interfaces doesnt list eth0.. only lo .. | 22:25 |
| itsatrick | Anybody know how to get my keyboard and mouse back? | 22:25 |
| rdavila | there is a strange noise | 22:25 |
| Jason_WT | oh, i just right clicked on the top bar and shose move to right | 22:25 |
| rdavila | here is a litle demo: http://www.box.net/shared/55q3c4nypp | 22:25 |
| fryguy | test34: right, because you are currently using network manager for everything, you'll need to add an entry for eth0 | 22:25 |
| Jason_WT | is there a way to make each WS appear on a different moniter? | 22:25 |
| mithraic | Hmmmm, _somewhere_ I have F11 set to maximize windows. I don't see it in Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts, nor in Compiz Settings Manager | 22:25 |
| mithraic | Any other suggestions where it might be hiding? | 22:25 |
| test34 | ok thanks fryguy | 22:26 |
| fryguy | Jason_WT: not with metacity or compiz that i know of. other window managers offer that feature | 22:26 |
| fryguy | Jason_WT: the window manager i use, for example, does | 22:26 |
| mithraic | Ah! It was specific to gnome-terminal. | 22:26 |
| Jason_WT | what is a windows manager | 22:26 |
| fryguy | Jason_WT: a program that controls how windows are drawn on the screen and provides controls for manipulating those windows | 22:26 |
| bartmon | mithraic: No, F11 is the usual hotkey for fullscreen | 22:27 |

| jrib | fryguy: did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for anything interesting? | 22:37 |

| fryguy | jrib: dmesg and Xorg.0.log provide no errors | 22:37 |
| fde | der|kunstler: you don't... if you like fancy colors, use gnome-terminal or konsole | 22:37 |
| jrib | fryguy: using nv now though? | 22:37 |
| der|kunstler | fde, you can't ? isn't there any config file or something ? | 22:37 |
| fryguy | jrib: same behavior with nv and all 4 versions of nvidia in ubuntu | 22:37 |
| vasi | (sorry, ctl-alt-backspace to restart X) | 22:37 |
| sugi | vasi: thank you i think..... i do have unsaved stuff. hwo do i restart gnome?? can i just do it with my "ps -e"? | 22:37 |
| fde | der|kunstler: nope, 'fraid not... that's why its not very popular ;) | 22:38 |
| fryguy | jrib: of note is that all 5 of those drivers work in other operating systems | 22:38 |
| hallowname | der|kunstler: use 'xterm -fg blue -bg black' | 22:38 |
| n2diy | der|kunstler, yes, the file goes in the language folder in that dir, but gedit doesn't like the files format. | 22:38 |

| hallowname | der|kunstler: yup | 22:38 |
| SherlawkDragon | try updating firefox is all I can think of | 22:38 |

| vasi | woops | 22:39 |
| vasi | too late | 22:39 |
| der|kunstler | hallowname, had a very long time that didn't deal with those stuff... .bashrc, that's the answer, thanks :D | 22:39 |
| hallowname | der|kunstler: .bashrc tweakage allows for some sweet terminals tho | 22:39 |
| SherlawkDragon | if you've got a ploblem with a plugin, it shou;d tell you... | 22:39 |
| jrib | fryguy: weird, no idea | 22:39 |

| sugi | vasi: no nautilus was working, but... | 22:39 |
| SherlawkDragon | yotux> what view of the site are you using? | 22:39 |
| hallowname | der|kunstler: heh, im on gentoo now | 22:39 |
| SherlawkDragon | old? new? text? | 22:39 |
| Psi-Jack | fde: Actually.... It's even better than before. Gnome doesn't have the Plasma Desktop or anything close, which I actually like, quite a lot. Minimize to desktop by itself, sucks, but having widgets that are there, and the Dashboard overlap things, instead of minimize things, is a much cleaner more useful approach. | 22:39 |

| hallowname | der|kunstler: yup | 22:40 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: Nothing that Plasma brings can't be done on other desktops... KDE itself is just poor | 22:40 |
| fde | hallowname: I had like 10 patches for KDE3, does that count? | 22:41 |
| yotux | SherlawkDragon: If I use the old verision it work fine, the new verision is where it starts to bog down | 22:41 |

| fde | hallowname: not impressed at all | 22:42 |
| Neff | so how do i use ntfs-config to mount /dev/sda1 permanently | 22:42 |

| yotux | SherlawkDragon: so would use suggest using the old version? | 22:43 |
| kindofabuzz | I don't know what casued it, maybe a flash update. but my flash is installed but firefox does not see it. i go to a site and get the popup and hit to install and it just says it's already installed. what can i do? | 22:43 |
| kindofabuzz | it was working | 22:43 |
| jrib | joaquinm: use #ubuntu-irc | 22:43 |
| fde | hallowname: I hope so... but I'm not sure what its bringing that screenlets/telepathy/gstreamer/etc isn't already | 22:43 |
| vasi | kindofabuzz: there's a flash-setup program that will reset these things | 22:43 |
| kindofabuzz | vasi, what's it called? | 22:44 |
| SherlawkDragon | yotux> yes, that's what I meant by waiting on the new version | 22:44 |
| hallowname | fde: ease of code, plasmoids from javascript and python... | 22:44 |
| vasi | kindofabuzz: i don't remember the name, but try dpkg -L <your-flash-package> | grep setup | 22:44 |

| fryguy | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Intel Core2 Machine, P35 motherboard, nvidia card that works with nvidia binary drivers (6800GT). All 4 current live cds (8.04, 8.10, 32-bit and 64-bit) freeze as soon as I get to the desktop, so I was forced to install using the alternative installer. Now the installed system exemplifies the same problems as the LiveCDs. I've done all of the obvious things (and lots of non-obvious), and can not resolve the issue. Anybod | 22:44 |
| oobuntu | Hello, my USB mouse stopped working in Ubuntu Hardy (apparently after an update). How can I fix it? | 22:45 |
| yotux | SherlawkDragon: Thanks I did not sign up for the new version it just appeared | 22:45 |
| fde | hallowname: those aren't advantages to KDE though, they're advantages to the apps... which you can use in any desktop | 22:45 |
| mrwes | fryguy: you try booting into rescue mode? | 22:46 |
| kindofabuzz | vasi, was i supposed to see anything with that? | 22:46 |

| phix | hey, how do I disable the network manager? or at least get it to stop enabling DHCP on eth0 (as eth0 is in a bridge) | 22:49 |
| fryguy | Jason_WT: it's pretty straightforward. some cause for concern is because it tries to follow posix as well as other standards. Read the FHS (filesystem hierarchy standard), and it becomes pretty obvious | 22:49 |

| FreeFull | kindofabuzz: doesn't say | 22:56 |
| hallowname | fde: im not near the others i mentioned | 22:56 |
| fde | Schuenemann: it'll be /dev/cdrom ... which is fine because your cdrom is /dev/sr0 | 22:56 |

| chazco | Hi.. i'm trying to connect my projector to my Ubuntu PC using s-video. Its a nvidia 7200GS card which i bought for this purpose. However, i either get a cannot set metamode error (in nvidia-settings) or if it does accept settings the projector remains blank. Any ideas? | 23:09 |
| fde | anon: you don't want to... it'll break even more stuff | 23:09 |

| anon | no upgrade | 23:11 |
| Schuenemann | fde, wodim doesn't work, though. It says incompatible medium | 23:11 |

| ganymede | FreeFull, it might be p54. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices <-- look under the table for PCI and USB and look for your card | 23:12 |
| phix | anon: awesome | 23:12 |
| leewang | yea | 23:12 |
| anon | there is usually a CPU spike in xorg | 23:12 |

| mrwes | anno: you running compiz, with visual effects turned on? | 23:12 |
| leewang | its the new flash from abobe | 23:12 |
| FreeFull | ganymede: thanks | 23:12 |
| anon | phix, i'm trying to troubleshoot | 23:12 |
| Schuenemann | fde, it's a CD ISO to a DVD... perhaps the command isn't that simple then | 23:12 |
| lord_hypnos | sers | 23:12 |
| anon | and need help | 23:12 |
| systm | leewang: me? | 23:12 |
| leewang | yea | 23:12 |
| anon | done about all i can | 23:12 |
| itsatrick | quit | 23:12 |
| leewang | sry | 23:12 |
| leewang | i had same problem today after an upgrade | 23:13 |
| systm | leewang: suggestions? and its not that, it doesnt play video anymore, like if i click on an mpg or avi | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | leewang, ff not seing the flash? | 23:13 |
| leewang | i went to empity i think its called | 23:13 |
| fde | Schuenemann: it should be... although you might not have dvd+rw-tools installed? | 23:13 |
| ganymede | FreeFull, under USB, i see this line: p54usb Netgear WG111 V2 | 23:13 |
| phix | anon: /quit life then? is that the next option? | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | leewang, i had the same problem FF not seeing Flash, all i did was totally uninstall flash and reinstall and it recognized it | 23:14 |
| WebcamWonder | systm: MPG and AVI inside firefox isn't handled by flash. They are handled by plugins that support these | 23:14 |
| Schuenemann | fde, dunno... I can record with brasero | 23:14 |
| systm | leewang: epihany | 23:14 |
| karimaz | i have a problem when shutdown my laptop it stops after progress bar and the the power doesnt off | 23:14 |
| fde | anon: I don't think that would be a kernel issue... you have installed the correct video card drivers? | 23:14 |
| Schuenemann | fde, I assume I do | 23:14 |
| leewang | epiphany | 23:14 |
| anon | fde yes | 23:14 |
| systm | WebcamWonder: i know im just stating that, maybe have to re get gstreamer? | 23:14 |
| leewang | iv only installed it today but it fixed the problem i was having with the youtube videos | 23:14 |
| fde | Schuenemann: then you should be able to use wodim... as brasero is just a front end for wodim and other tools | 23:14 |
| anon | 177.80 through synaptic | 23:14 |
| FreeFull | ganymede: v3 doesn't seem to be listed | 23:14 |
| WebcamWonder | systm: You have to get the plugins. IIRC vlc-mozilla-plugin and gnome mplayer have the plugins for firefox | 23:15 |
| fde | Schuenemann: try Brasero now... is it still working? I think your fun dd command might have messed it up... | 23:15 |
| anon | problem doesn't show up right away, only after a few hours | 23:15 |
| systm | WebcamWonder: i was using gstreamer and not vlc to play mpg/avi | 23:15 |
| fde | A few hours of watching movies? | 23:15 |
| anon | fde, a few hours of system uptime | 23:16 |
| leewang | whats gstreamer like? | 23:16 |
| ganymede | FreeFull, hopefully, it just means the table is out of date, and hopefully WG111v2 and WG111v3 use the same driver. also, are you sure it's not WG511v3 under PCI? i can't really offer any help beyond pointing you to those speadsheets. look around on wireless.kernel.org, there might be a mailing list you can ask for further detail | 23:16 |
| anon | if the system is rebooted, the problem does not show up | 23:16 |
| fde | leewang: its the best media backend around, it just lacks functionality :/ | 23:16 |
| fde | leewang: for movies, I'd recommend mplayer | 23:16 |
| leewang | really iv been using totem no problem | 23:16 |
| Psi-Jack | VLC FTW! | 23:16 |
| === `Chris_ is now known as `Chris | ||
| WebcamWonder | systm: Sorry. Got no clue. Never used gstreamer other than a few applications using it here and there | 23:17 |
| techlabb | But VLC is SOOO Ugly | 23:17 |
| fde | leewang: playing DVD's? playing all codecs you throw at it? | 23:17 |
| FreeFull | ganymede: It is USB and it is model WG111v3 | 23:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Psi-Jack: mplayer! | 23:17 |
| Psi-Jack | VLC? Ugly? Ya gotta be kidding me. | 23:17 |
| corinth | Does anyone know where wbar stores its settings? | 23:17 |
| centaur5 | Ever since a flash drive was plugged into a mac Ubuntu mounts it as read only. Is there a quick fix? | 23:17 |
| leewang | yea | 23:17 |
| fde | Psi-Jack: Never got on that bandwagon... I just use the backend stuff that got VLC its name, and use a better frontend | 23:17 |
| karimaz | what is the best vedio app? | 23:17 |
| Psi-Jack | It's a fricken window with a movie playing inside it with a few small buttons. | 23:17 |
| leewang | so far its played everything i tryed | 23:17 |
| fde | karimaz: mplayer | 23:18 |
| Odd-rationale | !best | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:18 |
| Schuenemann | fde, it says the formatting failed arghg | 23:18 |
| Odd-rationale | i personally like mplayer.... | 23:18 |
| fde | Odd-rationale: that is false in this case :P | 23:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | Does anyone here know how to fix the 'uncleanly shut down' message I almost always seem to get w/ this eeepc? It seems to be uncleanly unmounting the sdcard | 23:18 |
| techlabb | PSI ... Functionality is there .. but it looks like crap | 23:18 |
| leewang | i prefer winamp over everything but havent went to see if there is linux version but i dounbt it | 23:18 |
| DigitalFiz | VLC is my choice | 23:18 |
| FreeFull | mplayer can play in framebuffer, which is a major plus for me | 23:18 |
| anon | fde ok to pm? | 23:18 |
| fde | Schuenemann: reboot and try again... perhaps udev will recreate it... cross your fingers it does, as I have no idea where to go from there | 23:18 |
| Psi-Jack | techlabb: Looks fine to me. What do you want? Some anamorphic fading thing that has more eye-candy than functionality and reliability? ;) | 23:19 |
| fde | anon: umm, sure | 23:19 |
| Schuenemann | fde, damn... alright | 23:19 |
| leewang | well i do perfer eye candy over functionality | 23:19 |
| leewang | to a point | 23:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Too much eye-candy == Slow | 23:19 |
| leewang | the biggest seller for me on ubuntu was the desktop cube lol | 23:20 |
| kindofabuzz | function before fashion | 23:20 |
| fryguy | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Intel Core2 Machine, P35 motherboard, nvidia card that works with nvidia binary drivers (6800GT). All 4 current live cds (8.04, 8.10, 32-bit and 64-bit) freeze as soon as I get to the desktop, so I was forced to install using the alternative installer. Now the installed system exemplifies the same problems as the LiveCDs. I've done all of the obvious things (and lots of non-obvious), and can not resolve the issue. Anybod | 23:20 |
| leewang | slow? i didnt think it was possibly for linux systems to run slow | 23:20 |

| ganymede | FreeFull, i don't know what to do with that information if it's not on the device spreadsheets, sorry | 23:22 |
| FreeFull | joshk: get a smartphone then | 23:22 |
| joshk | har de har | 23:22 |
| joshk | i was referring to f-spot, not the eee | 23:22 |
| leewang | kindofabuzz... ok in that case i could see it running slow | 23:23 |
| kindofabuzz | leewang, yeah not everyone has a brand new computer. hell mine is almost 7 years old i think | 23:23 |

| fde | Schuenemann: nope... dd is raw copy from file to file... you could have done damage to your physical drive | 23:29 |
| fde | Schuenemann: cdroms need logic to know how to write to them... dd doesn't do that | 23:29 |
| Schuenemann | fde, I don't think that is possible.. | 23:30 |

| fde | Schuenemann: oh it is | 23:30 |
| Schuenemann | fde, why don't viruses or crackers do stuff like that, then? | 23:30 |

| Bsims | dumb question but why does inconsolata font do line drawings correctly on ubuntu but not in Putty on windows | 23:31 |
| FreeFull | Bsims: Windows sucks | 23:31 |
| Schuenemann | what about windoze users that are navigating as admin? | 23:32 |
| Bsims | FreeFull: Indeed thus the ssh tunnel to my home machine | 23:32 |

| fryguy | gulp: point being what? | 23:32 |
| karl_ | tell Bsims I think encoding problem | 23:32 |

| gulp | ubuntu how may cd? | 23:33 |
| === miranda is now known as Guest94269 | ||
| Enselic | Bsims: probably wrong character encoding moe | 23:33 |
| gulp | can i install additional program? | 23:33 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: yes and its supposed to cover the width of the screen | 23:33 |
| karl_ | Can anyone sugest me a notebook (something P8400 or alike based) that I can use with Ubuntu | 23:33 |
| fryguy | gulp: you boot the livecd and run the installer | 23:33 |
| FreeFull | zetheroo: You might want to create separate panels for each screen | 23:33 |
| Schuenemann | okay, so what should I do now? I need my cd drive back! :-/ | 23:33 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: but I an cloning the screen ... its the same panel on each | 23:34 |
| Bsims | Enselic: I made sure its considering anything via the ssh tunnel utf8 | 23:34 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: is there a way to extend the screen instead of clone? | 23:34 |
| Synusoid | I am going nuts. How do I play rtsp streams (real audio) with Amarok (xine engine)? --> A problem occurred: cook.so - I can't play BBC radios there | 23:34 |
| FreeFull | zetheroo: yes | 23:34 |
| gulp | should you tell me where download ? | 23:34 |
| Enselic | Bsims: and how do you know that is correct? | 23:34 |
| fryguy | gulp: www.ubuntu.com | 23:34 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: how? | 23:34 |
| Schuenemann | fryguy, can't you give me a hand here? | 23:35 |
| sachael | "man mplayer" is OMG! | 23:35 |
| Bsims | Enselic: I beleve ubuntu defaults to unicode by default, but I'll check /etc/sshd | 23:35 |
| fryguy | Schuenemann: why me? i don't know anything | 23:35 |
| FreeFull | zetheroo: Let me find the tutorial for you | 23:35 |

| Schuenemann | ... | 23:35 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: btw I am running Hardy ... not Intrepid | 23:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ first get the specs you're looking for in your price range.. grab an ubuntu live cd, head to the store, try it | 23:35 |
| FreeFull | zetheroo: What graphics card have you got? | 23:36 |
| gulp | only one cd-rom, bat because mandriva have 3 cd-rom for installations? | 23:36 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: oh just Intel ... | 23:36 |
| Schuenemann | I need to recreate /dev/cdrom | 23:36 |
| FreeFull | zetheroo: Same here. High five | 23:36 |
| karl_ | tell OxDeadC0de They will not let me go from one computer to another with a live cd | 23:36 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: cool | 23:37 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: I have been trying to do this for years in Linux ... :) | 23:37 |
| Bsims | karl_: try googling name model and ubuntu | 23:37 |
| gulp | ubuntu witch app for internet have? for irc whitch for axample | 23:37 |
| Schuenemann | fde, /dev/cdrom was removed automatically when I rebooted | 23:37 |
| karl_ | Tell Bsims - Look like no one is running ubuntu on centrnio | 23:37 |
| fryguy | gulp: there are a few dozen packages available for doing irc available | 23:38 |
| Psyrix | I just installed KDE for Ubuntu 8.10, and i log in, and the text is so small....i can't tell what i am doing, can anyone help me? | 23:38 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ then they suck, then find a couple with the specs/price you like.. search for their main components, video adapter (I always get nvidia..), audio adapter, motherboard, (You can find this from all the display notebooks) on google.com/linux | 23:38 |
| tiyowan | karl_: Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - very helpful. | 23:38 |
| FreeFull | Schuenemann: Are you sure your drive is connected properly to the computer? | 23:38 |
| anon | Anyone in chan with the technical expertise to debug or trace bugs in xorg? | 23:38 |
| will00 | is there an easy howto for setting up a vpn server? | 23:38 |
| FreeFull | anon: Try #xorg | 23:38 |
| Schuenemann | FreeFull, yes. It all started when I did dd of=/dev/cdrom. I overwrote it | 23:38 |
| Bsims | karl_: I find that hard to beleve... is it a dell an hp what? | 23:39 |

| will00 | thanks fryguy | 23:39 |
| anon | FreeFull, Xorg devs won't do anything, they point the finger a nvidia | 23:39 |
| camerongroom | it is a .bin file | 23:39 |
| Bsims | how can you tell what charset ssh is using? | 23:39 |
| Enselic | gulp: if you don't care then use XChat | 23:39 |
| fryguy | gulp: www.ubuntu.com highlights all of the features of ubuntu | 23:39 |
| anon | automatically, without even trying | 23:39 |
| FreeFull | Schuenemann: /dev/cdrom should be a symlink to the right device, and it shouldn't be able to get overwritten | 23:39 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: try rebooting it should recreate it if not man mkdev | 23:39 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: any luck with that tutorial? | 23:40 |
| FreeFull | zetheroo: Wait for a second, ok? | 23:40 |
| Schuenemann | FreeFull, it was. It became an ISO | 23:40 |
| zetheroo | FreeFull: sure thing | 23:40 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: you want to man ls | 23:40 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, I don't have this mkdev | 23:40 |

| Bsims | basicaly sudo ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/sdwhatever | 23:41 |
| fryguy | gulp: no | 23:41 |
| gulp | are you sure? | 23:41 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, I did this and the cdrom did not come back. Plus, after I rebooted it was deleted | 23:41 |
| fryguy | gulp: yes | 23:41 |
| gulp | mandriv search alwayes that.. | 23:41 |
| infinity1 | boo! | 23:41 |
| fryguy | gulp: so then use that | 23:42 |
| Bsims | Hrm does it show a /dev/entry for the physical drive? | 23:42 |
| kosiorro | chat.freenode.net:6667 | 23:42 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, like what? | 23:42 |
| gulp | .... i told you again, my computer have 900 amd and 128 ram inside.... is very good for my PC? | 23:42 |
| kosiorro | #kateos-pl | 23:42 |
| fryguy | gulp: yes | 23:43 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, there is only /dev/scd0 now, no /dev/cdrom anymore | 23:43 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ also another good resource http://www.linux-laptop.net/ | 23:43 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, or /dev/sr0 | 23:43 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: Ok this is easy to fix... | 23:43 |
| gulp | ok...you have convinced me.. | 23:43 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: do you have one cd drive or two? | 23:43 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, one | 23:43 |
| karl_ | tell OxDeadC0de None of the resources gives a search on the hardware | 23:44 |
| karl_ | tell OxDeadC0de Looked through both - did not find a model on centrino | 23:44 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom | 23:44 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ nope the hardware itself is usually somewhere in one of those pages on a different model | 23:44 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ that's where google comes in hand | 23:44 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, okay, but I did this before... | 23:44 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-12-19 20:44 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0 | 23:45 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, shouldn't it be ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom btw? | 23:45 |
| karl_ | tell OxDeadC0de I have been googling for some time - can you solve this :) | 23:45 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: the burner part shows up as sr0 | 23:45 |
| Schuenemann | hmm ok | 23:45 |
| Bsims | either will work | 23:45 |
| gulp | can i use only gnome? can i use kde? | 23:45 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ what piece of hardware is in question? | 23:45 |
| puppy | hello? | 23:46 |
| Schuenemann | so, can I try to record anything now? | 23:46 |
| fryguy | gulp: you can use whatever desktop environment you want | 23:46 |
| gulp | reply me please | 23:46 |
| gulp | i understood | 23:46 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ the intel centrino processor lines are fully supported | 23:46 |
| Bsims | Yup but Schuenemann, I'd recomend cdrecord or something vs dd <g> | 23:46 |
| puppy | Can somone help me out? | 23:46 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, ... :-/ | 23:46 |
| fryguy | !ask | puppy | 23:46 |
| ubottu | puppy: 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. :-) | 23:46 |
| karl_ | tell OxDeadC0de CPU - but looks like no one is using this with linux | 23:46 |
| voidmage | I got a new graphics card today, hooked it up with a dvi-hdmi cable. The brightness and color of the picture is off and for some reason my monitor is playing noise on its speakers. The only fix I've gotten to work is hook up to DVI port 2, restart X, hook up to DVI port 1, restart X, fixes it until it goes into powersave mode, then static comes back. Anyone else familiar with this/know a better fix? | 23:47 |
| gulp | System Requirements | 23:47 |
| gulp | Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit PC and Intel based Mac architectures. At least 256 MB of RAM is required to run the alternate install CD (384MB of RAM is required to use the live CD based installer). Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space. | 23:47 |
| gulp | o.O | 23:47 |

| fryguy | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Intel Core2 Machine, P35 motherboard, nvidia card that works with nvidia binary drivers (6800GT). All 4 current live cds (8.04, 8.10, 32-bit and 64-bit) freeze as soon as I get to the desktop, so I was forced to install using the alternative installer. Now the installed system exemplifies the same problems as the LiveCDs. I've done all of the obvious things (and lots of non-obvious), and can not resolve the issue. Anybod | 23:51 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: Hrm paste me the cdrecord command you are using | 23:51 |

| gulp | it is good? | 23:51 |
| Dephisto | hi, does someone have experiences with 3D acceleration and opengl, setting xorg.conf? | 23:51 |

| ohletmeinnowgodd | hi guys, im trying to access my SD card through my laptops SD reader and everytime I pop it in, nothing happens, what should i do? | 23:51 |
| OxDeadC0de | karl_ linux supports more cpu's than windows, keep that in mind | 23:51 |
| almark | Does anyone here use Ubuntu Studio? | 23:51 |
| mon^rch | emil: error says... Couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx | 23:51 |
| voidmage | I got a new graphics card today, hooked it up with a dvi-hdmi cable. The brightness and color of the picture is off and for some reason my monitor is playing noise on its speakers. The only fix I've gotten to work is hook up to DVI port 2, restart X, hook up to DVI port 1, restart X, fixes it until it goes into powersave mode, then static comes back. Anyone else familiar with this/know a better fix? | 23:51 |
| fryguy | gulp: probably. you migth want to look at xubuntu install disc instead for some lower end machines | 23:51 |
| gulp | then, can i update other program' | 23:51 |
| clearzen | fryguy: do you have error logs to look at? can you ssh in from another machine? | 23:51 |
| grendal_prime | adobe flex...sounds like a bandwidth mactruck.... | 23:52 |
| fryguy | gulp: yes | 23:52 |
| fryguy | clearzen: ssh fine, no error logs | 23:52 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, oh... I tried a different DVD and it worked. But the other is brand new | 23:52 |
| fryguy | clearzen: Xorg.log is error free, as is dmesg | 23:52 |
| camerongroom | grendal_crime: would you help me with installing flex onto my ubuntu machine. It doesn't open right and I have no clue what to do. | 23:52 |
| clearzen | fryguy: hmmm, does it freeze when you use the nv driver instead? | 23:52 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: could just be a bad disk and usually you can't reuse a dvd | 23:52 |
| fryguy | clearzen: when i said "I tried all of the obvious things" I meant it | 23:52 |
| ohletmeinnowgodd | guys? | 23:52 |
| Dephisto | halooo | 23:52 |
| fryguy | clearzen: yes, i've tried 5 drivers | 23:52 |
| fryguy | clearzen: all exhibit the same behavior | 23:53 |
| clearzen | fryguy: give me a sec to dig around. | 23:53 |
| adrenaline | fryguy what about your powersupply or source? | 23:53 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, it's DVD+RW. So odd... by the marks it seems it recorded only a bit of data | 23:53 |
| gulp | xubuntu i have reboot it like live,is good but 15 minuts for to be operative! :9 | 23:53 |
| Octoroks | hello, where are applications in ubuntu stored? (firefox, calculator etc...) | 23:53 |
| fryguy | adrenaline: there is no hardware issue, things work fine in several other operating systems, and the machine has been running such other operating systems for a long time | 23:53 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: try telling k3b to blank the dvdrw first then retry | 23:53 |
| Psyrix | I just installed KDE for Ubuntu 8.10, and i log in, and the text is so small....i can't tell what i am doing, can anyone help me? | 23:53 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: it looks like it eather can't read from the source or can't write to it | 23:54 |
| adrenaline | fryguy, I have had bios issue with slackware and not with other machines before | 23:54 |
| Bsims | Psyrix: change font sizes in the options? | 23:54 |
| emil | mon^rch: are you using a different wine prefix? | 23:54 |
| rww | Psyrix: you might get more help over in #kubuntu. They do KDE things better than most of us (but feel free to ask here too :D) | 23:54 |
| adrenaline | I mean other distroes | 23:54 |
| fryguy | adrenaline: i'm on the machine right now, on a different linux, and the graphics card is working fine | 23:54 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, I don't think I could've permanently b0rked the disc, could I? | 23:54 |
| Ceddie | help pls..... | 23:54 |
| Psyrix | rww: k i'll give it a try | 23:54 |
| adrenaline | But you are saying you have to install not in X right? | 23:55 |
| Ceddie | anyone pls help | 23:55 |
| clearzen | fryguy: is it a custom kernel? Have you tried rolling back to an earlier version of the kernel? | 23:55 |
| adrenaline | There is something conflicting | 23:55 |
| fryguy | adrenaline: for ubuntu yes, everything else works | 23:55 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: very unlikely | 23:55 |
| ohletmeinnowgodd | i need some help with mounting my SD card, can someone help me? | 23:55 |
| fryguy | clearzen: it's a fresh install, nothing earlier to rollback to, and the same kernel is working in other linuxes | 23:55 |
| adrenaline | Seems liek there is an issue with ubuntu and your card | 23:55 |
| Octoroks | where are applications in ubuntu stored? | 23:55 |
| fryguy | clearzen: i've gone as far as installing linuxfromscratch and using the same ubuntu patched kernel in that system, and it works fine | 23:55 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: tell k3b to clear the dvdrw | 23:55 |
| adrenaline | Have you tried another older kernel ubuntu install? | 23:55 |
| Bsims | ohletmeinnowgodd: whats it doing? | 23:55 |
| Ceddie | PLS help me!! | 23:55 |
| mon^rch | I'm making a menu item via alacarte, and pointing it to /usr/local/games/quake2/quake2.exe | 23:56 |
| fryguy | Octoroks: typically in /usr | 23:56 |
| clearzen | fryguy: wow | 23:56 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, ok | 23:56 |
| ohletmeinnowgodd | Bsims: nothing | 23:56 |
| OxDeadC0de | fryguy: personally.. i use the nvidia beta driver from their website, keeps my laptop gpu cooler.. | 23:56 |
| fryguy | clearzen: let me repeat myself, i've tried all of the obvious things, and lots of nonobvious things. I'm looking for original ideas | 23:56 |
| clearzen | fryguy: have you looked at the kernel error logs? | 23:56 |
| mon^rch | emil: I'm making a menu item via alacarte, and pointing it to /usr/local/games/quake2/quake2.exe | 23:56 |
| Bsims | ohletmeinnowgodd: it should just show up... | 23:56 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, it says there's no need to format more than once | 23:56 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: that driver exhibits the same behavior as the others | 23:56 |
| ohletmeinnowgodd | Bsims: im trying to access my SD card through my laptops SD reader and everytime I pop it in, nothing happens | 23:56 |
| fryguy | clearzen: no errors | 23:56 |
| clearzen | fryguy: ok then. I just like to cover the bases to make sure | 23:56 |
| Ceddie | My Logitech Webcam does not work with ekiga??? | 23:56 |
| === Ward1983_ is now known as Ward1983 | ||
| Ceddie | My Logitech Webcam does not work with ekiga??? | 23:56 |
| OxDeadC0de | fryguy then it's probably a kernel issue | 23:56 |
| Ceddie | My Logitech Webcam does not work with ekiga??? | 23:56 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: Heh tell it to do it anyway | 23:56 |
| FloodBot1 | Ceddie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:56 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: as i just said it's not | 23:56 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: i've installed the exact same kernel in a linuxfromscratch environment and it works fine | 23:57 |
| Bsims | ohletmeinnowgodd: could be that the card reader is not supported, laptops contain parts from Mars | 23:57 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: the same ubuntu patches and everything | 23:57 |
| Ceddie | pls | 23:57 |
| Ceddie | any help here | 23:57 |
| emil | mon^rch: have you written wine in front of it? "wine /usr/local/games/quake2/quake2.exe" | 23:57 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, yeah, I told it to force it and it says it isn't recommended and that I can mess the disc... but I did anyway | 23:57 |
| Ward1983 | to uninstall compiled software sudo make uninstall is enough right? | 23:57 |
| OxDeadC0de | fryguy exact same kernel with the same build options and command line options? damn | 23:57 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: yes | 23:57 |
| ohletmeinnowgodd | Bsims: i remember it using way back when i tried hardy | 23:57 |
| clearzen | fryguy: when you used linux from scratch did you use the same version of X that is running on the ubuntu machine? | 23:57 |
| fryguy | clearzen: yes | 23:57 |
| ohletmeinnowgodd | Bsims: *working | 23:57 |
| R0b0t1 | Does anyone here use Anjuta? Well, I've come to ask how I can enable the scintilla editor in 8.10, as only the GtkView seems available. | 23:58 |
| Bsims | dunno ohletmeinnowgodd | 23:58 |
| mon^rch | emil: yes I tried that... will try again just to humor myself | 23:58 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: beats me I don't use dvdrw... | 23:58 |
| clearzen | fryguy: can't help you then. Good luck | 23:58 |
| Ceddie | this server seems helpless to me | 23:58 |
| fryguy | clearzen: other noteworthy systems that don't exhibit an issue: gentoo, debian, archlinux, centos, and freebsd | 23:58 |
| leewang | alright time to kill this system lol cya guy/ladies later thanks for helpage | 23:58 |
| petafile | I'm installing on a machine with vista currently installed (plan on dual booting). I have an intel (software, I think since it requires a driver, I think its a pretty standard thing) raid 1 setup(mirroring) and I want to do manual partition, but the partitioner treats it as 2 separate drives, how do I set it up without destroying my raid? | 23:58 |
| OxDeadC0de | fryguy was compositing enabled? could you get it to run anything like just xorg/xterm 2d? | 23:58 |
| clearzen | fryguy: I'll try to think of something. But that is truly odd | 23:58 |
| emil | mon^rch: and for example 'env WINEPREFIX="/home/.../.wine" wine /usr/local/games/quake2/quake2.exe' | 23:58 |
| steve__ | Stoopid n()()b ubuntu question: virgin install on a fit-PC, I | 23:58 |
| Ceddie | everyone is ignoring me | 23:58 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, I see. Well, it's still at 0%. Something is prolly wrong | 23:59 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: nothing runs. I'm running a custom .xsession that spawns an xterm and nothing else | 23:59 |
| steve__ | I'm logged in on the console, but do not get prompted for any administrative tasks... everything remains grayed out... | 23:59 |
| Bsims | Ceddie: not all webcams work with Linux | 23:59 |
| CrOOgie | hi there | 23:59 |
| Ceddie | thanks for reply | 23:59 |
| Bsims | Schuenemann: close it and try it from the command line | 23:59 |
| Schuenemann | Bsims, no, it finished lol | 23:59 |
| OxDeadC0de | fryguy can you switch back to vt while xorg is frozen or ssh in to get dmesg, and xorg.log shows nothing? | 23:59 |
| Ceddie | how to work with ubuntu | 23:59 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: also noteworthy, compositing etc work fine in the other environmnents I listed | 23:59 |
| mon^rch | emil: could you maybe write the full syntax as it should be in alacarte? | 23:59 |
| fryguy | OxDeadC0de: Xorg.log shows no errors | 23:59 |
