| Scunizi | peaces: there should be a network icon up by the date/clock. click that.. if you have wpa or web on your router disable that first. If broadcasting is off turn it on (in the router) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| peaces | Scunizi: what should i do after i disable that? | 00:01 |
| mn | Might anyone be able to help me with getting a screenlet installed? | 00:01 |
| Scunizi | peaces: after disabling teh wpa/wep? | 00:02 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: ask someone how to list the most recently laid down files in /var/cache/apt/archives with ls. or perhaps read the man page for ls and figure it out. or, maybe just try and manully installed the next oldest version of pulseaudio packages in there with the dpkg command and see what happens. it's up to you about reinstalling tho. | 00:03 |
| peaces | Sxunizi: Yeah I just disabled that | 00:03 |
| onetinsoldier | manually install* | 00:03 |
| peaces | Scunizi: Yeah I just disabled the wpa | 00:03 |
| Capn_Fish | rww: I'm trying to disable the auto-creation of recovery boot options | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | peaces: turn on "broadcasting" so the rest of the neighborhood will see your router, including your laptop.. once you've figured out how to connect then you can go back and disable broadcasting and either reestablish wpa/wep or use mac filtering to limit access to your laptop | 00:04 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: i really recommend you keep asking every few minutes for someone to help you figure out your sound problem. but make sure you let them know you installed proposed updates | 00:05 |
| rrplay | mn, some info here http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/17/os-x-like-widgets-with-screenlets-on-ubuntu-3rd-update/ | 00:05 |
| peaces | Scunizi: I have broadcasting on, I don't know even where in ubuntu I would go to be able to see SSID's though | 00:05 |
| caseheart | ontinsoldier, i checked the /var/cache/apt/archives and it shows no new files today, shows friday as last date modified day | 00:05 |
| rww | Capn_Fish: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change "alternative=true" to "alternative=false", then run sudo update-grub | 00:06 |
| rrplay | !screenlets | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 00:06 |
| Scunizi | peaces: up by the clock in the upper right corner there is an icon that looks like windows networking icon.. 2 computer screens, one in front of the other. | 00:06 |
| peaces | Scunizi: yup nothing in there about wireless though | 00:06 |
| Scunizi | peaces: when you click on it what appears in the drop down box.? | 00:07 |
| peaces | Scunizi: just my wired network connection | 00:07 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: ok, roger. what version of pulseaudio do you have installed? | 00:07 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: mine is... 0.9.10-2ubuntu9.2 | 00:07 |
| caseheart | onetinsoldier, forgive me, how do i check that? | 00:07 |
| onetinsoldier | dpkg -l pulseaudio | 00:08 |
| Scunizi | peaces: have you looked in System > Admin > Hardware drivers to see if there are drivers there that are not activated for your wireless card? | 00:08 |
| caseheart | onetinsoldier 0.9.10-2ubuntu PulseAudio sound server | 00:08 |
| peaces | Scunizi: yeah there is one in there that was automatically installed when i started up for the first time | 00:08 |
| Capn_Fish | rww: thanks | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: hmmm, no 9.2 on the end? interesting | 00:09 |
| caseheart | onetinsoldier would you like to see the verbose output from dpkg -l pulseaudio? | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: sure. | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: if you mena all the lines besides the one that list the version number... then no | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | peaces: I'm not on a wireless connection right now to look and play, but right mouse clicking on the icon and left clicking on the icon will give you different options. What you're looking for is for an option to switch from ath0 to something else.. (not sure how it'll be labeled..) | 00:10 |
| caseheart | ok 10-4 didnt know if that would make a difference? | 00:10 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: here' | 00:10 |

| Scunizi | FAJ: he has an atheros card that he can't get connected. drivers are loaded he says from install and can see them in Sys>Admin>Hardware.. | 00:13 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: i probably can't help much with this tho. you need to put the question out to the whole channel like you were before, but just make sure you let them know you installed proposed updates.. if you actually did. btw, try piping your dpkg -l command into less and see it looks a little different. i don't know why my version looks a little different than yours | 00:13 |

| anto9us | Zerocool947, read your package's information provided in synaptic | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: ahh, there you go! entire version number now | 00:14 |
| caseheart | Thx for teaching me that trick o.t.s. | 00:15 |
| Scunizi | FAJ: if you have suggestions for him to try, since he's eating dinner you may consider sending him a /msg or PM so he'll see it later. | 00:15 |
| FAJ | ok | 00:15 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: I did, it didn't provide anything. Also, I restarted and i don't remember what the package is called | 00:15 |

| anto9us | Zerocool947, then, retrace your steps, what were you looking for and why? All packages have a list of installed files. | 00:16 |
| Scunizi | Rdgcrs: uninstall it. | 00:16 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: why? | 00:16 |
| sivel | anyone on the keyring problem? | 00:16 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: you could disable it in sessions | 00:16 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: sudo apt-get update... then sudo apt-get install pulseaudio | 00:16 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: it was a set of utilities for dell laptops | 00:16 |
| Rdgcrs | FAJ: How? | 00:17 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: I found it in the terminal, then downloaded it through synaptic | 00:17 |
| justizin1 | the installer screen wraps at the top and overlaps itself, anyone ever seen this? | 00:17 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: in System>Prefernces>Sessions | 00:17 |
| caseheart | i still get same thing, latest version | 00:17 |
| Rdgcrs | ok | 00:17 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: i wouldn't recommend disabling it though.. | 00:17 |

| onetinsoldier | caseheart: roger. sorry to hear that. you might try rebooting tho. however, i have serious doubts that will help | 00:18 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: what are you using in it's place? | 00:18 |
| anto9us | Zerocool947, so, what do you need help with? Synaptic includes a list of files that each package will install. | 00:18 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: i agree ;) gnome-network-manager sucks | 00:18 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: wicd is really good | 00:18 |
| mn | rrplay: those are the directions i am trying to follow :( | 00:18 |
| === root is now known as Guest72826 | ||
| Rdgcrs | FAJ: The common Debian's way... /etc/network/interfaces... | 00:19 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: well first I need to find the package. Then I need to find what it installed exactly and how I activate it | 00:19 |
| === flaco is now known as flaocm | ||
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: ah that works too... | 00:19 |
| natsukao | hello | 00:19 |
| === flaocm is now known as flacom | ||
| juhls | rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/89567/ | 00:19 |
| caseheart | lol, i will definitely try.....however i fear you are correct. I do appreciate the help, and you DID at least teach me one trick..so....my thanks. I will continue to ask, as I really would like to know WHY as much as fix it... | 00:19 |
| rrplay | mn : WMs and eye-candy are fun !! | 00:19 |
| anto9us | Zerocool947, in terminal, pressing up arrow will step you back through your history of typed commands | 00:20 |
| natsukao | i would to know if there is a video editor that give me the possibility to import files *.flv | 00:20 |
| Rdgcrs | FAJ: I'll try wicd when I have time... thanks! | 00:20 |
| _Ire | whats the command for a new folder? | 00:20 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: I found it in synaptic, but I can't find where It would have installed the program | 00:20 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: you sound like me now.. i almost always want to know 'why'. curiousity killed the cat! lol | 00:20 |
| FAJ | Rdgcrs: ya, i have never had issues with wicd. it works especially well with wifi.... and it removes gnome-network-manager for you ;) | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | natsukao: import flv files? | 00:20 |
| natsukao | yes | 00:20 |
| onetinsoldier | caseheart: good luck to u :-) | 00:21 |
| anto9us | Zerocool947, it may have been a number of programs, look at its file list, it may have put some in /usr/bin or similar | 00:21 |
| caseheart | I recently installed proposed updates, have pulse audio newest version , AC97 audio, just quit working for no reason, everything shows like it should work, but no sound (tested multiple outputs....not a cord , etc)........Anyone have a clue what would cause it to just die? The only thing I have done is install the new updates, and i was trying to install a webcam earlier. | 00:21 |
| mn | rrplay: :) I agree, but this is though for me to figure out. The first time I did it, the botton came up fine. Then I changed the config back like it was, and now I try to put that button back on there and it won't work | 00:21 |
| natsukao | or to import *.ogv files | 00:21 |
| rww | juhls: thanks. Looks like the only repositories you have are official Ubuntu ones. Did you delete the Ubuntu Archive keys by accident or something? | 00:21 |
| juhls | rww, so what are your thoughts? | 00:21 |
| juhls | rww, I don't see how... I never touched it | 00:22 |
| rrplay | mn; cant say that i had tried this one here | 00:22 |
| Scunizi | caseheart: if you installed "proposed" and it goofed something then you should report it as a bug/regression.. that's somtimes the problem with "proposed" | 00:22 |
| rww | juhls: hmm. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-key list" for me? That'll show the keys you have right now. | 00:22 |
| caseheart | Scunizi, could you breifly explain where/how? I have no problem doing that. | 00:23 |
| juhls | rww, sure give me a sec | 00:23 |
| Scunizi | caseheart: htt://www.launchpad.com and search for ubuntu then the package or just search for the package. | 00:23 |
| philsf | if I update the lvm2 package, do I need to reboot (I'm using LVM volumes)? | 00:24 |

| deepfriedsquirre | Hi | 00:24 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Where's the log file for fsck? | 00:24 |
| Scunizi | caseheart: also I think if proposed is still activated, you could look in Synaptic for the package and there might be a link in the description | 00:24 |
| rww | juhls: oh, and if you have any files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, pastebin them too (you can put them in the same pastebin as the apt-key output) | 00:24 |
| juhls | rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/89569/ | 00:24 |

| FAJ | rww: it's not in /var/log/boot | 00:27 |

| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: hello. how are you doing? | 00:34 |
| anto9us | [TiZ], a temporary solution to a temporary problem, yes? | 00:34 |
| jin | what is so great about imap anyway? | 00:34 |
| rww | juhls: nope, which keys sign which repos is just something you have to learn, really. | 00:34 |
| darkfuzion | onetinsoldier:good got a new laptop | 00:35 |
| mrwes | re | 00:35 |
| paulo | #ubuntu-es | 00:35 |
| badr | is it possible to use Logitech wireless dj music system with ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| juhls | rww, where did you get your information? | 00:35 |
| darkfuzion | with Nvidia Gforce Go | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mia_tech: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_pxe.html | 00:35 |
| mia_tech | ActionParsnip: I kind of have it half way... i"m not sure if I"m using the right boot image | 00:35 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Where's the log file for fsck, fsck.ext3 and e2fsck? | 00:35 |
| [TiZ] | Scunizi: I used to start Evolution at startup with Alltray, and I used Mail Notification with it. So I would usually just shut down without properly exiting it. When I start my computer again, much of my mail is unread again, and I get many notifications about them. | 00:35 |
| anto9us | jin, it's great for getting email between disparate and uncooperative clients | 00:35 |
| rww | juhls: for end-users, we usually just include a line on how to install the required GPG key in the instructions for adding the repositoriy | 00:35 |
| [TiZ] | That's my bug. | 00:35 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: oh! must be nice, or i hope it is anyway! no more old ancient radeon 9200 eh? hehe | 00:35 |
| [TiZ] | jin: I'm not sure I want to redownload all 7000 of my e-mails. | 00:35 |
| darkfuzion | lol no way | 00:35 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 00:36 |
| penol | how to mount ipod touch 2gen (2.2 firmware) in ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| darkfuzion | it have amd turion 64 mobile | 00:36 |
| adaptr | penol: plug it in | 00:36 |
| rww | juhls: I forget, to be honest | 00:36 |
| penol | adaptr: It dont show up | 00:36 |
| juhls | rww, makes sense cause you wouldn't expect someone not to have a key in the instal | 00:36 |
| darkfuzion | now i gotta install ubuntu on it | 00:36 |
| adaptr | penol: where | 00:36 |
| penol | and i cant sync files adaptr | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | deepfriedsquirre: /var/log/fsck | 00:36 |
| penol | adaptr: on desktop | 00:36 |
| adaptr | penol: why should it ? | 00:36 |
| deepfriedsquirre | ActionParsnip: Thanks, but it doesn't contain enough | 00:36 |
| darkfuzion | and figure out how to partition it with windows on it | 00:36 |
| adaptr | penol: get a media player that supports it | 00:36 |
| juhls | rww, so somehow I am installing software that doesn't have a key lol | 00:36 |
| penol | adaptr: amarok :/ ? | 00:37 |
| rww | juhls: exactly. Ubuntu adds the Ubuntu keys during its setup. If you follow the Medibuntu install steps, it installs its key... the only time you /should/ have missing keys is if you're using a PPA | 00:37 |
| adaptr | penol: yes, I use amarok | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | deepfriedsquirre: maybe some extra switches gives more info to the log? | 00:37 |
| penol | adaptr: do i need to install some other files ? | 00:37 |
| deepfriedsquirre | switches? | 00:37 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: ahh, nice. so now you can have the 64-bit version of linux. very cool | 00:37 |
| mia_tech | ActionParsnip: ok it says that the boot image is pxelinux.0 but the pc is booting up but not getting the image | 00:37 |
| rww | juhls: which is what i thought was going on at first, but there aren't any ppa lines in there, so i guess not :( | 00:37 |
| adaptr | penol: not that I know of | 00:37 |
| adaptr | penol: you have to configure the ipod in amarok, hat's it | 00:37 |
| juhls | rww, So I've been installing stuff I shouldn't have | 00:37 |
| penol | adaptr: is it hard? | 00:37 |
| white-sheep | There are ~/.bash_login in Mac. What's the equivalent for Ubuntu? | 00:37 |
| adaptr | penol: just go and do it | 00:38 |
| juhls | rww, computer doesn't act differently | 00:38 |
| white-sheep | ~/.bashrc ? | 00:38 |
| penol | adaptr: i will try, and i ask here if google cant help me. | 00:38 |
| juhls | rww, they keys were created for a purpose lol | 00:38 |
| yaris123456789 | hey guys i added index.html to public_html, but it keeps showing Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server | 00:38 |
| juhls | ah well... | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mia_tech: http://www.pyrosoft.co.uk/blog/2007/05/13/ubuntu-pxe-network-install-with-fiesty-fawn-704/ just replace fiesty with intrepid or hardy | 00:38 |
| juhls | Can't turn back time... | 00:38 |
| peaces | can anyone help me to get wireless working? I don't even really know where to begin | 00:38 |
| rww | juhls: well, if you were just using Synaptic or apt-get install packagename, everything from there should have been signed properly. Hence me wanting to know the package name so that I could figure out why it wasn't picking up the key/signature | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | white-sheep, .bashrc And .bash_profile normally | 00:38 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: you just partition normally. just make them all extended partition after yer windows partitions. if you need to re-size the windows partition, well, i'm not familiar with that | 00:39 |
| penol | yaris123456789: change a setting in /etc/apache2/sites-enables/000-default | 00:39 |
| juhls | rww, if it happens again I'll be sure to mark which package | 00:39 |
| FAJ | in tty, how can i scroll up? | 00:39 |
| onetinsoldier | !partitioning | darkfuzion | 00:39 |
| ubottu | darkfuzion: 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 | 00:39 |
| juhls | rww, I just said screw it... I think it was kate or something.. | 00:39 |
| white-sheep | Dr_Willis_AAO -- Do you know how to define your environmental variables? Is that $PATH? | 00:39 |
| darrend | I have an rsnapshot script attempting to log in to a remote ubuntu box to do backups, how should it backup stuff like /etc when there's no root user it can rsh as? | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | white-sheep, .bashrc or .bash_profile for a per user settings... | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | peaces: run lspci and lsusb, one will identify the device, you can websearch from there | 00:40 |
| penol | adaptr: Using Amarok to transfer music to iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G (models introduced in 2008) and all other models of iPod Touch and iPhone that have been upgraded to firmware 2.x does not work: Apple introduced a cryptographic hash into the song database of the device, and as long as the method to compute this hash has not been reverse engineered and implemented within libgpod, updating the database with libgpod will result in your device not | 00:40 |
| rww | FAJ: Shift + Page Up | 00:40 |
| FAJ | rww: thanks | 00:40 |
| juhls | white-sheep, the .bashrc is read by xterminals | 00:41 |
| === dtcrshr is now known as dtcrshr_rua | ||
| adaptr | penol: and you have one of those ? | 00:41 |
| penol | adaptr: yeah :( | 00:41 |
| FAJ | rww: not working? | 00:41 |
| adaptr | penol: sorry, I have a nano that works just fine :) | 00:41 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I ran fsck and /var/fsck/log doesn't contain a lot. How can I get the standard output back? | 00:41 |
| white-sheep | juhls -- I mean -- How do I set environment variables -- Is that by defining the given directory in $path ? | 00:41 |
| juhls | white-sheep, supposedly the .bash_profile or .profile is source by the .bashrc | 00:41 |
| darkfuzion | well i have the whole drive in windows | 00:41 |
| FAJ | rww: nvm | 00:41 |
| juhls | white-sheep, export VARIABLE makes it available to all shells | 00:42 |
| penol | adaptr: Damn, *is running around to find steve jobs, to kill him* | 00:42 |
| groggy | How can I disable the USB hid drivers? | 00:42 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: Theres a bunch of files, but I don't know if they're automatically implemented | 00:42 |
| FAJ | gksu nautilus is refusing to start... does anyone have any ideas as to why? | 00:42 |
| darkfuzion | i think ill ust the guided feture to resize or use WUBI | 00:42 |
| groggy | I've tried putting in a quirk entry, but it doesn't seem to work. | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | groggy: sudo rmmod <whatever> | 00:42 |
| Alastair_ | hurray, i've officially removed the bloatvista from my pc :P from this day on there's only one way - the ubuntu way.. ^^ | 00:42 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: and I don't really know what to do with any of them | 00:42 |
| groggy | "Module is in use". | 00:42 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: roger | 00:42 |
| juhls | white-sheep, without the export it is local... export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/my-dir adds $HOME/my-dir to your path | 00:42 |
| groggy | I don't want it to start up, and I should be able to disable it in modprobe.d/ | 00:43 |
| white-sheep | juhls -- Thanks -- I think I got it -- Basically I just type in -- export LOL=/home/chris/LOL | 00:43 |
| juhls | white-sheep, and makes it available to all shells it is global | 00:43 |
| darkfuzion | and i hopw that work the guided part because i hate to use wubi | 00:43 |
| groggy | I have: | 00:43 |
| groggy | options usbhid quirks=15a4:1001:0x0004 | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | groggy: lsmod will show you whats loaded, you can remove whatever you wish | 00:43 |
| white-sheep | juhls -- Is that correct? What I just said? <_< | 00:44 |
| groggy | ActionParsnip: As I said, it refuses because it's in use. | 00:44 |
| juhls | white-sheep, it sets a variable called LOL with the path you stated.. Use a dollar sign to have it show its meaning | 00:44 |
| juhls | white-sheep, basically yeah | 00:44 |
| anto9us | Zerocool947, you should do some research through your favourite search engine, not everything comes with the documentation you can easily digest, a certain skill level might be required | 00:44 |
| groggy | $ modprobe -r hid | 00:44 |
| groggy | FATAL: Module hid is in use. | 00:44 |
| Ward1983 | i'm following this: http://www.dit.upm.es/vnumlwiki/index.php/Tutorial#Some_Root_Privileges only root@host# su -pc 'uml_switch -tap tap0 -unix /var/run/vnuml/Net3.ctl < /dev/null > /dev/null &' vnuml does not work, it states /var/run/vnuml/Net3.ctl exists but could not be deleted, yet /var/run/vnuml doestn even exist! :s this is very confusing | 00:44 |
| white-sheep | juhls -- Thanks. :) | 00:44 |
| Ward1983 | what can be wrong? | 00:44 |
| FloodBot1 | Ward1983: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:44 |
| juhls | white-sheep, the linux documentation project has a howto on bash | 00:44 |
| groggy | My real question is: what's wrong with the quirk entry? | 00:45 |
| Ward1983 | yeqh sure thqts flooding i guess... :s | 00:45 |
| juhls | white-sheep, and type bash in google and you get a lot of hits | 00:45 |
| Ward1983 | explaining my problem == flooding :) | 00:45 |
| white-sheep | juhls -- I know -- I'm reading up on that. I'm reading on docs on HowTo for MAC // but I know it's similar -- Unix. Thank again. :) | 00:46 |
| C0p3rn1c | white-sheep: for more info about the export command: http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Shells/Configuring_the_Bash_Shell.html | 00:46 |
| juhls | white-sheep, if you are using the bash shell it should be basically the same | 00:46 |
| anto9us | Ward1983, waste of time arguing with/complaining to a bot, they're stubborn and insensitive in my experience | 00:46 |
| rrplay | mn: do have what you want got a seperator after the start ? | 00:47 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: what did this laptop come with? vista? | 00:47 |
| darkfuzion | what sounds good is a Ubuntu Latte | 00:47 |

| FAJ | pastebin.com/m19a1ac56 This can't be good; when i try to gksu nautilus that is the output in terminal... That can't be right help please? | 00:49 |
| Ward1983 | anto9us, doesnt matther, i just found it annoying thats all, i never had this before so something must have changed | 00:49 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: roger. you have a install disk for xp? if so, perhaps you could do what i do. make your own windows partition leaving plenty of room for linux partitions, then install windows, then you can make linux partitions without any need to worry about resizing. but as afar as i know resizing should work fine too | 00:49 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: Sorry to keep bothering you, but I think I have a grasp at what I have to do. The ReadMe is telling me to make a daemon that starts at boot by creating an init file | 00:49 |
| juhls | nonickname2, no zero it out completely dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/(name of usb); then install the whole thing again.... | 00:49 |
| nonickname2 | ah, ok, thanks :) | 00:50 |
| nonickname2 | will try, bbl | 00:50 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: and gives me the few things that I have to set, but I don't know how to do it. Do yo uthink you could help me? | 00:50 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: --> but i installed xp pro ..well? why didn't you leave room for linux partitions? | 00:50 |
| juhls | nonickname2, or you could do the first 512MBs of the stick... I tried that and it never worked for me... SO I just cleared the whole thing | 00:50 |
| FAJ | pastebin.com/m19a1ac56 This can't be good; when i try to gksu nautilus that is the output in terminal... That can't be right help please? | 00:50 |
| anto9us | fourat, I belive squidguard will do what you need | 00:50 |
| juhls | nonickname2, try your luck | 00:50 |
| darkfuzion | because someone said to install windows first | 00:50 |
| darkfuzion | and i tried to install linux first lol | 00:51 |
| Rdgcrs | I use ifup and ifdown to configure my network; wlan0 offers me internet ant eth0 network shared files. Why with this configuration I can't acces to Internet? http://paste.ubuntu.com/89580/ | 00:51 |
| darkfuzion | but oh well i still can make a partition right? | 00:51 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: yes.. but when you install windows you can make you own windows partitions with the windows installer cd | 00:51 |
| darkfuzion | i know i asked that and they said no | 00:51 |
| anto9us | Zerocool947, I'm off to bed soon, you should do some research through your favourite search engine is my advice | 00:52 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: ?? hmm, i don't get that | 00:52 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: oh well. do what ya gotta do! | 00:52 |
| darkfuzion | but i can go and make a partion | 00:52 |
| FAJ | pastebin.com/m19a1ac56 This can't be good; when i try to gksu nautilus that is the output in terminal... That can't be right help please? | 00:52 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Where can I find the log of a terminal? | 00:52 |
| darkfuzion | with the cd | 00:52 |
| deepfriedsquirre | with stdout? | 00:52 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: sure, if you left space, it shouldn't be such a big problem | 00:52 |
| darkfuzion | im sure i have alot of space | 00:53 |
| robert__ | hey guys how would I make all the icons smaller for the system, applications, and places menu? I already have a 1680x1050 resolution and 66dpi | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | deepfriedsquirre: history | 00:53 |
| darkfuzion | cant you partion a drive with a partition maneger? | 00:53 |
| deepfriedsquirre | ~/.history? | 00:53 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: yes you can | 00:54 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: i'm confused. now you're saying you did leave plenty of free space to make linux partitions on? | 00:54 |
| anto9us | Zerocool947, you should check that the init files haven't already been created for you, look in /etc/init.d | 00:54 |
| darkfuzion | no i can make free space for linux with the cd by making a parttition | 00:54 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: did you do a manual or automatic partitioning ? | 00:54 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: ok... cool | 00:54 |
| darkfuzion | right it has a partion manager on the cd ill reboot my system and make a partition | 00:55 |
| Zerocool947 | anto9us: thank you for pointing me in the right direction. The readme says I have to create them, I have some basic (read: very basic) programming experience, so might be able to do something | 00:55 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: you can resize your partitions from a live cd, with a partition manager | 00:55 |
| darkfuzion | i can use the guided feture to make the partion right????? | 00:55 |
| C0p3rn1c | not sure about that though | 00:55 |
| C0p3rn1c | never tried it :) | 00:55 |
| C0p3rn1c | anyone else ? | 00:56 |
| lander2k2 | can anyone tell me how to change runlevel in Ubuntu 8.10? | 00:56 |
| darkfuzion | i mean you can use the slide feture to resize | 00:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: yeah, but you have to boot from a live cd | 00:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: you can't resize a partition you are using | 00:57 |
| darkfuzion | i have the cd they sent | 00:57 |
| mn | rrplay: what is a separator? That little line thing on the bar? | 00:57 |
| darkfuzion | so i can make partition from the live cd | 00:57 |

| rrplay | mn: jusst like in gnome a seperator in the panel | 00:58 |
| C0p3rn1c | darkfuzion: yes create a ntfs partion with GParted | 00:59 |
| C0p3rn1c | its a grafical partition manager | 00:59 |
| mn | rrplay: oh yeah I have that | 00:59 |
| lander2k2 | can anyone tell me how to change runlevel in Ubuntu 8.10? | 00:59 |
| darkfuzion | so get Gparted to do a partion in windows? | 00:59 |
| rrplay | mn: still no good ?? or ok | 00:59 |
| adaptr | lander2k2: exactly the same way as any other linux distro | 00:59 |
| onetinsoldier | lander2k2: as root type runlevel # ..? | 00:59 |

| onetwoth1 | Whenever I try to dualboot windows XP and Ubuntu, I can never get the boot loader both GRUB and the microsoft one to indefinitely recognize the other operating system.

| ellis | Ok. I'm at the alsa-utils file. What should I edit? | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | frojnd: you could use 3 sweeps, 1 set ownership to root *.avi, then set ownership to root for *.srt, then delete recursively as user and the files will not be removed | 01:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onetwoth1 are you mixing ide and sata drives? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | frojnd: i'd make a small test folder to test | 01:23 |
| ozgurgerilla | Starnestommy: ok, well the laptop is Acer Aspire one and ubuntu is the latest version and the wireless don't work because of drivers I think.. I tried the tutorial from google but still doesn't work. | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | frojnd: you will then need to set the owner back to your username | 01:23 |

| tonon | who knows the best way to instal flash? | 01:40 |
| onetwoth1 | Whenever I try to dualboot windows XP and Ubuntu, I can never get the boot loader both GRUB and the microsoft one to indefinitely recognize the other operating system. With the microsoft boot loader Ubuntu doesn't show up at all. With GRUB, windows shows up but wont boot. When I restarted the machine after the one time I did get Windows to boot from GRUB it was no longer on the GRUB menu. I've tried all the guides I can find re | 01:40 |
| onetinsoldier | lander2k2: yes. log out, then press Ctrl+Alt+F1.if you wish to shut the x server down, then... sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !flash | tonon | 01:40 |
| ubottu | tonon: 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 | 01:40 |
| onetinsoldier | lander2k2: that's if your session manager is 'gdm' | 01:40 |
| spanther | 8.04 still gets maintained until 2011 does that mean security fixes or patches for bugs too? | 01:40 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone upgrade to flash 10 and not having problems? | 01:41 |
| CaptainMorgan | I can't downgrade back ... so I've upgraded to 10 and now flash doesn't work | 01:41 |
| CaptainMorgan | firefox | 01:41 |
| anom01y | how can I use the usb floppy drive in my computer ? I have Kubuntu installed, and I get /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device | 01:41 |
| onetinsoldier | lander2k2: you will want to wait until you have done Ctrl+Alt+F1 to shut the x server down | 01:41 |
| masque7 | anyone have any knowledge of LAMP web server? | 01:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | masque7, extensive, yes. | 01:43 |

| eseven73 | masque7: you got 8.04? | 01:43 |
| masque7 | 8.10 | 01:44 |
| dmole | someone tell me Ubuntu supports a resizeable file system that can be more than a few TB, is not Beta, and is not NTFS !? | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | anom01y: put a floppy in the drive and run: sudo fdisk -l | 01:44 |
| frojnd | Does anyone know why this command wont work in a script: unrar e * && rm *.r[0-9][0-9] *.sfv I get a message No fiels to extract, but if I do just unrar e * it will extract Looks like I don't know how to joint two commands. Any ideas ? | 01:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | mickinator, what are you trying to do? | 01:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | can you explain it a little better? | 01:44 |
| eseven73 | hmmm masque7 try this http://lijamez.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/lighting-up-lamp/ | 01:44 |
| lander2k2 | onetinsoldier: thx much | 01:44 |
| anom01y | ActionParsnip: ok I did that it spat out a bunch of info | 01:44 |
| onetinsoldier | lander2k2: you're welcome | 01:45 |
| mickinator | captain morgan: its for a project, im writing a new file manager, and when the user clicks on a file, say .pdf i want the associate app to open | 01:45 |
| masque7 | i've got mysql, phpmyadmin, apache2 all installed. strange how "localhost" doesn't display the directories, just the default apache2 index.html aka "It works!". just trying to add some of my own pages really (yes i'm set up with a dynamic dns service) | 01:45 |
| eseven73 | masque7: thats for a lamp setup in 8.04 but it might work for 8.10 too | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | anom01y: can you put it in a pastebin# | 01:45 |
| veloc1ty | masque7, have you tried clearing the ffox cache? | 01:46 |
| CaptainMorgan | masque7, you'll want to add your web stuff to /var/www where it's installed by default | 01:46 |
| onetwoth1 | Anyone here good with setting up a dualboot system? (XP and Ubuntu) | 01:46 |
| eseven73 | masque7: hrm that site got my lamp up in 15 mins | 01:46 |
| lander2k2 | onetinsoldier: I'm not sure what the session manager is - gdm | 01:46 |
| veloc1ty | i had the same "issue" and after an hour troubleshooting a friend of mine told me that it's working :P | 01:46 |
| CaptainMorgan | I wouldn't upgrade to 8.10 though - on the server, you'll be supported a lot longer on 8.04 | 01:46 |
| CaptainMorgan | LTS | 01:46 |
| masque7 | yeah i know apache's index.html file resides in /var/ | 01:46 |
| lander2k2 | onetinsoldier: I'm running gnome - is that gdm? | 01:46 |
| dmole | onetwoth1: install XP then Ubuntu | 01:46 |
| masque7 | just wondering how i can upload my own stuff via WinSCP | 01:47 |
| w3wsrmn | dmole: JFS seems to fit your conditions | 01:47 |
| mickinator | like what i want to know is if say i clicked on a pdf it opens up pdfview, but how does it know to open that up? | 01:47 |
| onetinsoldier | lander2k2: yes | 01:47 |
| mn | lander2k2: Do you have any other desktop environment installed? | 01:47 |
| masque7 | ((i've got LAMP set up and working - main reason was wanting to use torrentflux so i don't wanan break anything)) | 01:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | mickinator, it's called "preferred applications" | 01:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | System -> Prefs/Admin | 01:47 |
| onetwoth1 | dmole: I did that but I couldn't boot XP after installing Ubuntu. It said something was corrupted, NTLDR I believe. | 01:48 |
| dmole | w3wsrmn: wikipedia did not have it marked as resizeable I'll go have a look | 01:48 |
| lander2k2 | mn: no, just gnome as far as I know - I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed and I haven't installed any other desktop environment | 01:48 |
| w3wsrmn | dmole: It is resizable | 01:48 |
| eseven73 | masque7: ok sorry i thought you just needed to get lamp installed...just keep asking like every 5 mins someone will get to you eventually :) | 01:48 |
| mn | lander2k2: then yes, gdm would be your display manager | 01:48 |
| mickinator | preferred applications isnt what i want | 01:48 |
| mickinator | unless theres a generic command to open files? | 01:49 |
| lander2k2 | mn: k, thx | 01:49 |
| mickinator | thanks by the by though | 01:49 |
| mn | np. glad to help | 01:49 |
| dmole | onetwoth1: that's odd did you get that after booting to grub? | 01:49 |
| anom01y | if I copy files to a floppy disk can I run that disk in windows ??? | 01:49 |
| mickinator | /etc/mime.types? | 01:49 |
| dmole | w3wsrmn: I'll change the wiki page then :) | 01:50 |
| anto9us | mickinator, right click the file, select properties, open with | 01:50 |
| onetwoth1 | dmole: yeah it had Ubuntu and XP on the menu and when i selected XP it threw that error. | 01:50 |

| tsuna27 | I need help what does this mean "Click the Static button and change the IP Address to an address that's outside the dynamically assigned range of your network. This will ensure your iPhone is always contactable at the same address for syncing." | 02:01 |

| onetinsoldier | CaptainMorgan: hang on and i'll see if i can find it | 02:01 |
| === cary__ is now known as Commie_Cary | ||
| tsuna27 | what does an IP dynamically assigned range of you network mean how can I choose one???? | 02:01 |
| enovativ | tsuna27 : whatever your DHCP range is on router..you must make the IP address "static" and use a ip address outside that range | 02:02 |
| Davekong | tsuna27, your router probably has some dhcp setting which uses some range of ip addresses you need to choose one outside that range | 02:02 |
| baz_ | i would like to install ubuntu on an external hd and have it so that if my external hd is plugged in it loads ubuntu and if not, vista loads without even knowing about my external hd - is this possible, if so where would grub go? | 02:02 |
| Spikius | tsuna27, it means that dhcp server auto assigns IP adress to you, to your computer | 02:02 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainMorgan: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 02:02 |
| tsuna27 | spikius: how can i find the numbers | 02:02 |
| enovativ | for example is you have 50 address set for DHCP on your router, and your ip address range starts at 192.1.168.100 | 02:02 |
| enovativ | then your range is from 192.1.168.100 - 192.1.168.150 | 02:03 |
| enovativ | so you could use a "static" address of 192.1.168.155 | 02:03 |
| tsuna27 | so i can pick a random number | 02:03 |
| tsuna27 | and it will work | 02:03 |
| enovativ | it sould | 02:03 |
| enovativ | should | 02:03 |
| Rillaspora | http://www.sexy-sarah.info/?uid=217952 | 02:03 |
| iratik | tsuna27: also .. don't pick your router's ip ... the router ip is usually out of the dhcp range for obvious reasons.... usually the only other static you have to worry about | 02:04 |
| enovativ | as long as it is not in the DHCP range | 02:04 |

| Rillaspora | http://www.sexy-sarah.info/?uid=217952 | 02:04 |
| baz_ | what does it mean if i boot and all my computer says is "grub" - there are no opions nnothing to do, it just shows a black screen and tthe word "grub" | 02:04 |
| enovativ | and you do not go over the requirements of the subset mask | 02:04 |
| asparatu | hello, i have a ibm x41 table pc and I am trying to get the styles to work and i can not | 02:04 |
| FloodBot1 | Rillaspora: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:04 |
| tsuna27 | iratik i choose 192 168 2 321 and now safari does not work | 02:04 |
| enovativ | so as i said before 192.1.168.155 will do fine | 02:04 |
| enovativ | or you could do 192.1.168.180 | 02:05 |

| enovativ | zrak : sorry sir i do not, maybe i should research that way i can be of more better help | 02:06 |
| Spikius | zrak, used it couple of times, first time everything was fine | 02:06 |
| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, ya, I removed them all | 02:06 |
| Spikius | second time, crappy... | 02:06 |
| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, I've been trying them one at a time, deleting them when they don't work | 02:07 |
| Spikius | second time wiundows just said that disks where not formated properly and asked me to format them | 02:07 |
| zrak | Spikius: i can mount the ext3 partition but i when i browse it i get empty partition | 02:07 |
| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, the only one that came sorta close was swfdec, but it was like a bad version of adobe flash | 02:07 |

| enovativ | dmole : i have a external drive that once was used on a linux box, and i then used it on a new install linux box, and for reason when i put it back on the windows box i could not acces anything | 02:09 |
| iratik | ActionParsnip: each of you guys have told him a different subnet ! ... one person told him use 192.1.168 ... you told him 192.168.0. and he used 192.168.2.231 ... lol | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: i was making an example only | 02:09 |
| enovativ | thru research and a few utilities i found out i had a RAW drive..whatever that means | 02:09 |
| enovativ | so i am trying to find a way to convert it back to NTFS | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: we dont know his network address | 02:10 |
| hololight | Anyone notice a high Python cpu load when using the sysmonitor screenlet? | 02:10 |
| baz_ | whats the best irc client fro ubuntu/linux | 02:10 |
| enovativ | i thought i read somewhere it could be done in linux | 02:10 |
| iratik | i know... but he might not comprehend that your example does not factor in his network settings and he might take it literally | 02:10 |
| Spikius | enovativ, the only way is to format partition | 02:10 |
| dmole | enovativ: probably means it can't find the partition | 02:10 |
| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, done... a simple restart of firefox and it should now work, ya? | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: so we made examples with the most used network address based on a class C network, we didnt have enough info | 02:10 |
| Spikius | you cant convert ext3 to ntfs | 02:10 |
| baz_ | i am using pidgin now and i like its cleanliness but not too many features | 02:10 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainMorgan: yes | 02:10 |

| ActionParsnip | baz_: there is no best ANYTHING in life | 02:11 |
| eseven73 | xchat or irssi baz_ | 02:11 |

| dmole | enovativ: you CAN recover | 02:11 |
| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, didn't work :( | 02:11 |
| ActionParsnip | baz_: tell me something where there is a clean cut "best" | 02:12 |
| CaptainMorgan | cleared cache too.. in case that might've had something to do with it | 02:12 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainMorgan: hang on.. i had that wrong. sorry... close out Firefox | 02:12 |
| tarelerul1 | What kind of hardware specs do you need to run the 3d cube and all the rest of the effects ? | 02:12 |

| Spikius | tarelerul1, my pc with gf fx 5500 runs it perfectly | 02:13 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainMorgan: it goes here.... --> ~/.mozilla/plugins | 02:13 |
| Ceddie | Anyone pls help??? when i typed on terminal "ls" it has an error | 02:13 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainMorgan: so just mv the plugins directory down one dir | 02:13 |
| baz_ | actionparsnip: you will be surprised how similar human beings are, we are all organic, we all have 2 eyes and we all think pamela anderson is hot - now if u want to argue between pamela and gizelle we can split hairs but you are certainly not going to tell me try looking at rosie odonell | 02:13 |
| Spikius | so i guess anything beyond gf 4 mx works fine | 02:13 |

| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | baz_: in all of life there is no best, asking for best is completly moot | 02:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, I don't have that plugins directory so I created it | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | baz_ | 02:14 |
| ubottu | baz_: 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. | 02:14 |

| CaptainMorgan | onetinsoldier, success!!! | 02:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | thank you!! | 02:15 |

| Ceddie | dmole: thanks | 02:15 |
| baz_ | actionparsnip: fine maybe "best" wasnt a good word but i should have said "good" - i think anyone can agree that xchat is better than a client in alpha being developed by an elementary school | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | baz_: using irc clients as an example, there arelots or clients, each has different feature sets. If someone suggests a client as "best" but it doesnt have the functionality you want then it is not best, yet smoeone said it was the "best" | 02:15 |

| eseven73 | tarelerul1: i think 9 times out of 10, if and as long as linux recognizes your video card and the drivers made nicey nicey with linux, then you should have no probs with 3d stuff | 02:16 |
| dmole | Ceddie: you could try upgrading or using a rootkit checker to check for problems also check your hardware (RAM + HD) | 02:16 |

| ActionParsnip | does anyone know the factoid to list irc clients? | 02:19 |
| enovativ_ | gparted does not see external drives | 02:19 |

| ActionParsnip | baz_: i'm tab completing your name | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !tab | baz_ | 02:19 |
| ubottu | baz_: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:19 |
| eseven73 | tarelerul1: well if linux really likes your card you wont have to configure it :P hehe | 02:19 |

| kudar | ActionParsnip: can i get dist-upgrade while get-upgrade is unpacking? | 02:42 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; not the IP the outside world sees.. but your internel IP your router gives you. | 02:42 |
| ozgurgerilla | ActionParsnip: I did. now? and it's not a file its a directory. | 02:42 |
| lord_hypnos | how do I check that bastid_raZor ? | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kudar: i wouldnt think so, only 1 process at a time can access the packages | 02:43 |
| sshirley | AP: I read the manpage for interfaces. It didn't immediately jump out at me how to specify my WEP (maybe I didn't read it properly). I will have the following so far: | 02:43 |
| === justizin is now known as bitmonk | ||
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; ifconfig and look for inet addr: | 02:43 |
| sshirley | AP: AUTO WLAN0 | 02:44 |
| sshirley | IFACE WLAN0 INET DHCP | 02:44 |
| FloodBot1 | sshirley: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:44 |
| kudar | is dist-upgrade going to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? | 02:44 |
| lord_hypnos | bastid_raZor: should be thisone 127.0.0.1 | 02:44 |
| daf_ | Can anyone help me with dpkg --configure -a failing? | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ozgurgerilla: i'd strongly suggest a wired connection to get setup | 02:44 |
| daf_ | Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.27.2-inj | 02:45 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; no, you're using a wired connection? | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | daf_: whats its output? | 02:45 |
| lord_hypnos | yes I am | 02:45 |
| daf_ | which is true. I deleted it a while ago. | 02:45 |
| ozgurgerilla | ActionParsnip: ok does mirc work on ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| bastid_raZor | kudar; yes it would upgrade your version to Intrepid | 02:45 |
| lord_hypnos | bastid_raZor: yes i am | 02:45 |
| majnoon | ozgurgerilla, SORTA in wine | 02:45 |
| daf_ | ActionParsnip did you see my response? | 02:45 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; okay, on eth0 what is the inet addr: and Bcast: | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ozgurgerilla: you can run it via wine but its pointless as there are a massed multitude or irc clients for linux, what aspect of mirc do you require? | 02:46 |
| lord_hypnos | I dont use eth0, i use eth1 | 02:46 |
| kudar | bastid_raZor: will i have to update intrepid once it upgrades from hardy to intrepid? | 02:46 |
| lord_hypnos | bastid_raZor: i use eth1 | 02:46 |
| bastid_raZor | kudar; i don't know, i still use hardy. | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | daf_: is it referenced in /etc/modules? | 02:46 |
| ozgurgerilla | ActionParsnip: as long as it does the job it's ok for me. the one your using :) | 02:46 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; fine, what is it for eth1 | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ozgurgerilla: i use pidgin, but something more like mirc would be xchat | 02:46 |
| scresawn | join #gnome-art | 02:46 |
| kudar | bastid_raZor: why? | 02:47 |
| ozgurgerilla | ActionParsnip: thanks, brb. | 02:47 |
| daf_ | ActionParsnip no just fuse,lp,rtc,sbp2 | 02:47 |
| lord_hypnos | bastid_raZor: inet Adresse:80.108.44.188 Bcast:80.108.44.255 | 02:47 |
| Starnestommy | ozgurgerilla: mirc can be run under wine, but native clents such as xchat and irssi work better | 02:47 |
| ozgurgerilla | thanks.. | 02:47 |
| bastid_raZor | kudar; i'm going for stability rather than latest and greatest. this is a home business box that i can't afford to spend 1 minute of downtime. | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | daf_: you could create the file just to keep it happy | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | bastid_raZor: you will never get 100% uptime | 02:48 |
| xai | synaptic keeps giving me this: "can't connect to xyz.com ... could not connect to 192.168.1.1:8080 .. (111 connection revfused) | 02:48 |
| xai | Its a hardy system. | 02:48 |
| daf_ | ActionParsnip ok but then how can I go about deleting it so dpkg doesn't see it. | 02:48 |
| xai | Do I need to upgrade? | 02:49 |
| FAJ | bastid_raZor: if that is what you are going for: then ubuntu LTS is probably the best for you... | 02:49 |
| aeosynth | I want to do a fresh install of ubuntu, do I have to create a brand new partition or is there any way I can use my existing install (ie delete and reinstall everything except my home folder)? | 02:49 |
| I_Am | I'm trying to install ubuntu but it partitioner dosen't see any of my partitions | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | xai: hardy is supported until 2011 | 02:49 |
| bastid_raZor | ActionParsnip; i beg to differ. this box has been upgraded to hardy and in the last 3 months i've had less than 1 total hour of downtime. | 02:49 |
| xai | Or is there some funky proxy setting in synaptic? | 02:49 |
| FAJ | bastid_raZor: stick with hardy then.... personally I think it is really really good. | 02:49 |
| Starnestommy | xai: make sure that synaptic's proxy settings are correct or change the server's you using in system > administration > software sources | 02:49 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; probably the best way to find your router ip would be to google the brand and model.. 192.168.0.1 may work | 02:49 |
| FAJ | bastid_raZor: i tried an upgrade; ended up regressing. | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bastid_raZor: i work for a huge company with a tonne of redundancy and our availablity is 99.9999, we are pushing to get 99.99999 right now | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bastid_raZor: 1 hour out of 3 months is not 100% availability | 02:50 |
| bastid_raZor | FAJ; i have a server that i upgraded that didn't go so well. | 02:50 |
| I_Am | I'm trying to install ubuntu but it partitioner dosen't see any of my partitions | 02:50 |
| FAJ | bastid_raZor: what is wrong then?? | 02:50 |
| bastid_raZor | ActionParsnip; and your point? i prefer to not upgrade. | 02:51 |
| doodle77 | qemu crashed and my mouse is still grabbed! | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | daf_: you could search your files for any containing the module nae | 02:51 |
| bastid_raZor | FAJ; it had issues upgrading but i've fixed since. | 02:51 |
| FAJ | LTS' are normally more stable than anything else. | 02:51 |
| I_Am | I'm trying to install ubuntu but it partitioner dosen't see any of my partitions, but my ubuntu live cd can mount them | 02:51 |
| lord_hypnos | bastid_raZor: i googled but I found nothing but I think its 192.168.1.1 because I can ping that | 02:51 |
| FAJ | I_Am: try formatting through gparted? just a guess... | 02:52 |
| sayeghr | Hey gang, I have a question. I'm trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.1 but I'm getting issues because I suspect that the feisty repositories are no longer there... What do I do? I tried upgrading using the 7.1 alternate cd but it fails on me too. | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bastid_raZor: if the system works, dont fix it, if its broken you need to act. You could analyse access patterns and work on it when there is least access to minimise impact | 02:52 |
| I_Am | FAJ it thinks my disk is blank | 02:52 |
| xai | Starnestommy: i found some $http_proxy that matches, but I don't see where it was set. | 02:52 |
| FAJ | I_Am: are they? | 02:52 |
| daf_ | ActionParsnip what controls dpkg? some config file somewhere? | 02:52 |
| kiko | hi | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bastid_raZor: resolving the issue will allow the system to function better so is like an investment | 02:52 |
| I_Am | FAJ the live cd can mount the other partitions | 02:52 |
| FAJ | I_Am: ok i understand that,,, however, the install cant... have you checked the disk for errors? | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | daf_: dpkg is just a package installer and remover, i dont think it has a config file | 02:53 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; some routers want you to change your subnet.. i have two routers that broadcast wifi then receive the signal and rebroadcast.. those routers require subnet to be changed. | 02:53 |
| I_Am | FAJ yes | 02:53 |
| kiko | how can i install songbird in a dell mini 9 netbook | 02:53 |
| FAJ | I_Am: and nothing then? | 02:53 |
| sayeghr | Anyone know how to get upgrading working with 7.04 to 7.1? Or is it broken now that 7.04 isn't supported? | 02:53 |
| kiko | ? | 02:53 |
| bastid_raZor | ActionParsnip; since hardy is an LTS i have 3 years of no worry. | 02:53 |
| I_Am | FAJ YES | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !songbird | kiko | 02:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird | 02:54 |
| lord_hypnos | bastid_raZor: so what should I set the subnet to? | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kiko: the hardware doesnt matter, ubuntu is ubuntu | 02:54 |
| FAJ | sayeghr: it shouldn't be 'broken' but installing 8.04 from an alternateive maybe? | 02:54 |
| ellis | !info songbird | 02:54 |
| ubottu | Package songbird does not exist in intrepid | 02:54 |
| ellis | ... | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kiko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird | 02:54 |
| sayeghr | Urgh Im starting to think a clean install to 8.1 is in order. | 02:54 |
| FAJ | I_Am: just checking.... is there any information on the HDD's? | 02:54 |
| bastid_raZor | lord_hypnos; i don't know, your routers model and version and google will give you those answers. | 02:54 |
| FAJ | sayeghr: clean installs aren't bad? it would help improve system speed etc. | 02:55 |
| bastid_raZor | ellis; songbird does not have a package, you'll have to snag it from their site and install it manually | 02:55 |
| daf_ | ActionParsnip I was able to use update-initramfs to remove the fake file. I'm clean now thanks for the help. | 02:55 |
| kiko | dell mini 9 runs an ubuntu 8.04 mid edition on an atom processor | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | daf_: no man, smooth move | 02:55 |
| I_Am | FAJ: its a wd sata2 80gb laptop hd | 02:56 |
| kudar | why cant linux-backports-modules-intrepid be found? | 02:56 |
| FAJ | I_Am: is there anything on it? | 02:56 |
| aeosynth | can do i do a fresh install of ubuntu while keeping my home folder intact? | 02:56 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| I_Am | FAJ: the windows partition im on right now | 02:56 |
| bastid_raZor | aeosynth; you would have to move your /home to another partition or back it up somewhere. | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kiko: doesnt matter any at all, its still ubuntu. Its like thinking an install of winrar in windows would be any different on a thinkpad to a dell inspiron. its all the same | 02:57 |
| doodle77 | my mouse is still grabbed after qemu crashed, how do i ungrab it? | 02:57 |
| Davekong | aeosynth, no you don't have to just do not parition the home drive and make a differ user name than the old one | 02:57 |
| FAJ | I_Am: try partitioning windows inside gparted before using the ubuntu installer,,, maybe... | 02:57 |
| sshirley | Can anyone tell me if using NDISWrapper for a network card degrades performance? | 02:57 |
| Ward1983 | can someone check if the coammands that are used here are not good? http://www.dit.upm.es/vnumlwiki/index.php/Tutorial | 02:57 |
| CodeWar | how do I get to expand tree bars using right left arrow keys .. right now I have to use Ctrl+right / left | 02:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sshirley: no its pretty decent usually | 02:58 |
| I_Am | FAJ: i even tired a gparted live cd and got no luck | 02:58 |
| FAJ | I_Am: is it vista? | 02:58 |
| Davekong | aeosynth, oh sorry if your /home is not on it's own partition then yea you have to move it to it's own partition | 02:58 |
| sshirley | AP: Then maybe I am better off using NDISWrapper. I can't seem to get this to work (even though I can scan). | 02:58 |
| FAJ | !ndiswrapper | 02:59 |

| yaris123456789 | hey guys i have a few nameservers, how can i check if they work ? | 02:59 |
| frayedknot | i'd like to use my usb headset to play games under wine, where do i start with this? | 02:59 |
| jimjimhim | I am having a sound problem. It seems to stop working randomly | 02:59 |
| sshirley | ActionParsnip: Is this correct <script src='http://pastie.org/344155.js'></script> | 03:00 |
| Ward1983 | jimjimhim, for some reason i had that too when pidgin sounds were not muted | 03:01 |
| Ward1983 | you never know maybe its the same problem | 03:01 |
| raylu | sshirley: what part of a headless wireless server sounds like a bad idea? | 03:01 |
| sshirley | raylu: I know it's generally a bad idea. But it works for the layout of my house. | 03:02 |
| jimjimhim | Ward1983, it was during dvd playback and sometimes with VLC or Banshee | 03:02 |
| raylu | sshirley: also, it sounds to me that the problem is that you're not sure of your wireless router's configuration | 03:02 |
| Ward1983 | jimjimhim, dunno then sorry | 03:03 |
| btoogood | hi there all, hey i have registered with linuz counter and ubuntu counter just wondering how do I put the certificates in my signature in Kontact | 03:03 |
| === robbmunson is now known as Robb_Away | ||
| raylu | sshirley: switching to ndiswrapper won't fix that. if scanning returns results, you're fine with your driver | 03:03 |
| raylu | sshirley: ndiswrapper won't improve the situation | 03:03 |
| === Robb_Away is now known as robbmunson | ||
| Ward1983 | can someone explain what is bad about the commands used here? and maybe even give an alternative http://www.dit.upm.es/vnumlwiki/index.php/Tutorial | 03:04 |

| yaris123456789 | now i have nameserver, how do i link a domain name to a specific folder on my server ? | 03:04 |
| sshirley | raylu: So I guess I just need to dig a little deeper in fidning out how to configure this. | 03:05 |
| sshirley | raylu: Which pastebin do you all use? I'd like to show you what I have in my /etc/network/interfaces so far. | 03:06 |
| GarthDB | Is there anyone here that could help me with some ubuntu expertice? | 03:06 |
| basti | a nameserver? do you have 100 computers at home sshirley? | 03:06 |
| basti | yaris123456789 i mean | 03:06 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, lol jsut ask the question or nobody CAN reply :) | 03:07 |
| sshirley | basti: I never said anything about a nameserver. I think that was yaris123456789. | 03:07 |
| raylu | !pastebin | sshirley | 03:07 |
| ubottu | sshirley: 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) | 03:07 |
| raylu | sshirley: though pastecode, pastie, etc. are all fine | 03:07 |
| GarthDB | I am trying to install ubuntu on a computer that doesn't seem to like to boot off of the hard drive | 03:07 |
| ozgurgerilla1 | wow ubuntu rocks! | 03:07 |
| sshirley | raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89640/ | 03:07 |
| raylu | sshirley: have you gotten connected at all? if not, i'd suggest messing with iwconfig and dhclient rather than interfaces | 03:07 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: are you still on here | 03:08 |
| ozgurgerilla1 | ActionParsnip: are you around here? | 03:08 |
| enovativ_ | sorry for the delay.... | 03:08 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: thanks - I can boot on the install cd, but it won't boot on my hard drive after installing. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to make a boot cd that will boot the installation on my hard drive | 03:09 |
| GarthDB | that was a bit redundant sounding | 03:09 |
| sshirley | raylu: No I haven't. This is what I get when I do a iwconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89642/ | 03:09 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, it should boot from your harddrive, are your BIOS settings correct? did you remove the CD out of the tray? | 03:09 |
| aiuw | How does one re-install a package and all of the config files with that package | 03:09 |
| enovativ_ | is there a way to convert a external RAW drive to NTFS ? | 03:09 |
| enovativ_ | using linux ? | 03:10 |
| ozgurgerilla1 | can someone help me with my wireless card please, it's a athemos wireless card and doesn't work | 03:10 |
| enovativ_ | i tried gparted...but for some reason ...gparted does not see external drives | 03:10 |
| sebastian | !wireless | 03:10 |

| R0b0t1 | How might I get Transmission (bittorrent client) to minimize to the upper-right like it used to? | 03:10 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, did you try partedmagic? | 03:10 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, uinless it booted a OS before that is offcourse lol | 03:10 |
| aiuw | R0b0t1, minimise it? | 03:10 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I did remove the cd, and you're right it should be booting from the hard drive. | 03:10 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: that might be it | 03:11 |
| R0b0t1 | aiuw: Upper-right, like the Windows system tray. | 03:11 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: are you talking about Partiion Magic or is there a app out there called "partedmagic" ? | 03:11 |

| R0b0t1 | aiuw: Get what I mean? Minimize it to an icon | 03:11 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: thanks | 03:11 |
| raylu | sshirley: if ifconfig shows that you have no ip, "dhclient wlan0" | 03:11 |
| eseven73 | R0b0t1: theres a few toys in synaptic that allows you to minimize or dock any window, just search it for 'minimize' | 03:11 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, and the liveCD has a option "Boot from first harddrive" in the menu btw :p but just fix it instead of using that ugly workaround | 03:11 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, http://partedmagic.com/ | 03:11 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: that dies silently | 03:12 |
| aiuw | R0b0t1, whenever I start it, and click "x" it automatically shows up as an icon in the upper corner | 03:12 |

| R0b0t1 | However when I upgraded to the newest ubuntu, it doesn't anymore. | 03:12 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, did you do a standard install? guided? (or whats the name again in english) | 03:12 |

| lord_hypnos | yes* | 03:14 |
| lord_hypnos | and i still dont know what to do | 03:14 |
| enovativ_ | Ward1983: are you telling me that gparted works on external drives | 03:14 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, did you try booting from the others? its possible grub is installed on another disk, i had that before | 03:14 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: The SATA are running off of a card and I'm not entirely sure the Bios is handling that right | 03:14 |
| raylu | enovativ_: it should... did you select the right drive? | 03:14 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: did you find your answer about your router ? | 03:14 |

| sshirley | raylu: Holy crap!! It just worked!! | 03:17 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, did you try booting from the other 2 disks just to make sure grub is not on them? | 03:17 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: so basically you have one connection from the wall to your modem, and CAT5 from your modem to your NIC card | 03:17 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, then you got to see grub | 03:17 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: but I think I did this last install wrong | 03:17 |
| raylu | Shovi: o.0? | 03:17 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, you get grub error 21 when you boot from the IDE? | 03:17 |
| raylu | er, =\ | 03:17 |
| raylu | sshirley: what'd you do? | 03:17 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, lol please tell that kind of stuff immediately in the future :p errors are important | 03:17 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: No sorry I was trying something new - booting off of a usb | 03:18 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: sorry I was trying it out while talking to you | 03:18 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: yep.. all wired | 03:18 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I was telling you about my previous problems first | 03:18 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, no problem | 03:18 |
| thorin81 | I am running an Acer with Broadcom wireless network card. I installed ndiswrapper but I cannot get the adapter to activate - any help would be great!!!!!! | 03:18 |
| sshirley | raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89647/ I don't get it though. I did the same thing in my /etc/network/interfaces file, restarted the networking, and nothing. | 03:18 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, it indeed has something to do about not recognizing the disk | 03:18 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, at least according to google (google grub error 21) | 03:19 |
| FAJ | !broadcom | thorin81 | 03:19 |
| ubottu | thorin81: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 03:19 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, check the BIOS settings, if you dunno how to set them make some pictures and give the links to someone here | 03:19 |
| FAJ | !info bcm43-fwcutter | thorin81 | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Package bcm43-fwcutter does not exist in intrepid | 03:19 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I am going to try taking out the IDE and installing it on the SATA drives. That was the previous install configuration | 03:19 |
| FAJ | -.- | 03:19 |
| tsuna27 | amarok! | 03:19 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: *One of the Sata drives | 03:19 |
| tsuna27 | !amarok | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok | 03:19 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: btw i dont use a firewall | 03:20 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, that might be faster too | 03:20 |
| israelito_solito | hello, I have a problem with my video card. The video works fine for about 30 minutes and then it gets slow | 03:20 |
| sshirley | raylu: Can you explain what the difference is? Or is it just one of those things? | 03:20 |
| tsuna27 | does any1 noe how 2 make amarok look like itunes? | 03:21 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: The IDE is a larger drive and I'm wanting to use it as file server, but when I have the IDE drive in it doesn't even try to boot off of the SATA, and hangs forever when I tell it to | 03:21 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: that is a bad practice...there is no port forwarding without a router (and or firewall) | 03:21 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, so you cannot even use the IDE with anything? then check your BIOS settings | 03:21 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I might just put the IDE in an external usb case I have and use it that way | 03:21 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: if all you have is a modem with one port for that CAT5 from the modem to your NIC card...you need to get a router | 03:22 |
| === core7 is now known as dedy | ||
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, its definitely not normal | 03:22 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: what for? | 03:22 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, check the BIOS its probably in there somewhee | 03:22 |
| austin | itues on ubuntu | 03:22 |
| rww | !itunes | austin | 03:22 |
| ubottu | austin: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 03:22 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: you can not port forwarding on a modem | 03:22 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: unless the modem has a built in router | 03:22 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: that is what I figured, but I didn't want to spend too much time troubleshooting it. I hate messing with the BIOS, that's why I was trying to boot from cd :) | 03:22 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, there are devices that are modems/firewalls so he might have one of those | 03:23 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: what is the name of your router again | 03:23 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: yeah i think that is the case | 03:23 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: mom I'll give you a link | 03:23 |
| jimjimhim | you need the vendor and model number | 03:23 |
| white-sheep | How do I change JAVA_HOME setting? It is point to JRE when I want to point it to JDK. | 03:23 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: good point.....thanks | 03:23 |
| beefybefay | What's the firefox 64-bit java plugin package called? | 03:23 |
| israelito_solito | hello, I have a problem with my video card. The video works fine for about 30 minutes and then it gets slow | 03:23 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, lol are you like "scared" of the BIOS? | 03:23 |
| jimjimhim | they all run Linux btw | 03:23 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: thanks....let me get that...and i will be better able to assist | 03:23 |
| FAJ | the BIOS is a scary place | 03:23 |
| magnetron | !flash64 | beefybefay | 03:23 |
| ubottu | beefybefay: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 03:23 |
| jimjimhim | =) | 03:23 |
| enovativ_ | in the meantime let me go and try this gparted again | 03:24 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, if it makes you feel a little bit more secure you could make pics of the bios screens and ask on IRC what to choose | 03:24 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: yeah :) I've wasted too much time on past projects in BIOS | 03:24 |
| austin | can you install itunes on ubuntu | 03:24 |
| FAJ | !itunes | austin | 03:24 |
| white-sheep | austin -- You can install Windows on Ubuntu. | 03:24 |
| ubottu | austin: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 03:24 |
| austin | wtf | 03:24 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, still if you're gonna install OSes you NEED to work with the BIOS | 03:24 |
| austin | just tell me i dont need the server.... | 03:24 |
| jimjimhim | !drm | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drm | 03:24 |
| jimjimhim | lol | 03:24 |
| carandraug | is there something as a general equalizer in Ubuntu 8.10? I fell like the sound has more bass since I switched to 8.10 | 03:24 |
| jimjimhim | xD | 03:24 |
| comradekingu | rythmbox and amarok are good candidates | 03:25 |
| jimjimhim | !appledrm? | 03:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about appledrm? | 03:25 |
| austin | does...anyone..know about itune | 03:25 |
| austin | (s) | 03:25 |
| FAJ | austin: listen to what we are saying! | 03:25 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: yeah. So I'm seeing in there that I have two options for hard disk boot priority - my IDE and Bootable Add-in Cards | 03:25 |
| rww | austin: iTunes is, as you've been told repeatedly, NOT AVAILABLE ON LINUX. | 03:25 |
| FAJ | !itunes > austin | 03:25 |
| ubottu | austin, please see my private message | 03:25 |
| jimjimhim | austin, Itunes is not on linux | 03:25 |
| beefybefay | Isn't there a open source 64bit java plugin? | 03:26 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: it should be the previous version (mine is cm450b)of that device http://www.arrisi.com/product_catalog/listers/index.asp?id=391 | 03:26 |
| comradekingu | Apple drm is called FairPlay... | 03:26 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I have the IDE as the primary boot. Is there something more to it than that? | 03:26 |
| FAJ | b/c apple is anti-linux, even though they are built on linux..... -.- | 03:26 |
| carandraug | austin: I think it runs in wine if you really really can't go with an alternative that is in the repositories | 03:26 |
| jimjimhim | "fair" hahhaah! | 03:26 |
| white-sheep | How do I change JAVA_HOME setting? It is pointed at JRE when I want to point it to JDK. | 03:26 |
| jimjimhim | apple is anti-consumer | 03:26 |
| FAJ | carandraug: it works on itunes... sometimes.... it's really bad. | 03:26 |
| rww | jimjimhim: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:26 |
| austin | carandraug: how do i run it on wine? | 03:27 |
| comradekingu | Worst apple-joke is ALAC. Right now you are probably wondering what ALAC is. Its FLAC, only..., yes | 03:27 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, maybe some setting for the IDE is not correct or something, i dunno, you could just look around for stuff like that without changing anything | 03:27 |
| FAJ | austin: why do you need it soooo bad? it doesn't work well on wine... | 03:27 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, also: are you sure the disk is still working>? | 03:27 |
| austin | cause i want to charge my ipod | 03:28 |
| austin | faj: cause i want to charge my ipod | 03:28 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I was using it earlier today. And it didn't seem to have any problems during install | 03:28 |
| FAJ | austin: plugging in your ipod to the usb normally does the trick... | 03:28 |
| jimjimhim | austin, yes, just plug in the usb | 03:28 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, oh wait, that addin card | 03:28 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: that's the SATA card | 03:28 |
| FAJ | !players | austin; these are alternatives | 03:29 |
| ubottu | austin; these are alternatives: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 03:29 |
| jimjimhim | austin, and it should show you its chraging | 03:29 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, maybe its liek this: the mainboard wants to boot from the IDE, regardless of the settings | 03:29 |
| Ward1983 | because of the adinn card lol | 03:29 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I think so | 03:29 |
| austin | ok..ill try | 03:29 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, maybe there are complementary settings for that somewhere | 03:29 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: ok i found a pdf about your modem...it is just a cable modem ..no router features or anything of the sort | 03:30 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, google / manual reading i would say, but still that error 21 is not normal | 03:30 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: Maybe in the Card configuration, but it didn't have anything from what I could tell while poking around | 03:30 |
| austin | oh lol..it worked. | 03:30 |
| enovativ_ | so you can not do port forwarding using this cable modem | 03:30 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: ah thats not good, so I should get one? | 03:30 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: It kept asking me to make an array, which I didn't really want to do | 03:30 |
| enovativ_ | now as far as getting to the "menU' that is something that you may not really need to do since you ca not do port forwarding on just this modem | 03:30 |
| thorin81 | ok - how do I open the command line? | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, then maybe its in RAID mode, sorry never used those cards? | 03:31 |
| FAJ | !terminal | thorin81 | 03:31 |
| ubottu | thorin81: 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 | 03:31 |
| comradekingu | No need to do port forwarding on a bridge modem | 03:31 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: yes you should get one i would suggest a linksys wireless router....if you have more than one machine, and what connectivity around the whole house | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, i know i can set my onboard intel controller on raid, and two other things, forgot the correct names, but one is just normal and one is compatibillity | 03:31 |
| thorin81 | thanks | 03:31 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: i have two PCs, and two laptops...i use the "wireless" feature on my laptops | 03:31 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: it is a Raid card, but I was assumed I could use it as a standard SATA card as well. Maybe not | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, maybe lol | 03:32 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: either way it should have boot from the IDE just fine | 03:32 |
| comradekingu | lord_hypnos: I suggest Asus wireless router. Get something that supports custom firmware. Like tomato | 03:32 |
| lord_hypnos | enovativ: ok I'll do that, I'm gonna move soon and then there will be at least 2 pcs | 03:32 |
| Ward1983 | GarthDB, yes | 03:32 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: i use a Linksys SRX200 | 03:32 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: does the job for me | 03:32 |
| lord_hypnos | so then I connect the modem to the router? | 03:32 |
| jimjimhim | Tomato or DD-wrt | 03:32 |
| comradekingu | lord_hypnos: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato Custom Firmware | 03:32 |
| [ka]killer | what is the line to restart xserv from command line? | 03:32 |
| [ka]killer | its been too long since i had to use it... | 03:33 |
| jimjimhim | dd-wrt has a much larger community and supported hardware list | 03:33 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: does an IDE hard drive have to be master or can it be slave with the CD drive as master? | 03:33 |
| FAJ | [ka]killer: ctrl alt backspace? | 03:33 |
| jimjimhim | http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices | 03:33 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: on gparted i found my external drive..but it doesn't get the option to CONVERT the drive to fat32...it say it will FORMAT to fat32 which makes me believe that i am going to lose all the data on the drive during the "format" | 03:33 |
| [ka]killer | when xserv isnt running FAJ | 03:33 |
| comradekingu | lord_hypnos: DD-wrt has a history of disrespect for GPL, google brainslayer+GPL | 03:33 |
| [ka]killer | thats where the problem started xD | 03:33 |
| GarthDB | Ward1983: I only have one cable and the way it is now I can't get the cable to go the other way | 03:33 |
| FAJ | [ka]killer: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ? | 03:34 |
| axisys | how do I verify if my pinnacle capture card is working? lshw showed it found it http://pastebin.com/f22f1aed2 | 03:34 |
| lord_hypnos | so I should use tomato? | 03:34 |
| [ka]killer | thanks | 03:34 |
| enovativ_ | lord_hypnos: yes you connect your modem to the router | 03:34 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, why not do a back up and then validate it. THEN you can format it =) | 03:34 |
| jimjimhim | ooops | 03:34 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, do you have a backup? | 03:34 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: no i do not have a backup.... | 03:34 |
| comradekingu | lord_hypnos: thats my advice. I use Oleg, but tomato is easy and intuitive. For starters thats a good choice | 03:34 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, well do that first. What was it from a desktop? | 03:35 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: i know...dumb me.....but i was hoping to convert to fat32 or NTFS WITHOUT losing data | 03:35 |
| white-sheep | Anybody here experienced with Java-6-sun-JDK (not JRE) + Plugins? | 03:35 |
| mwhit74 | i am trying to create an unbuntu cd so i can update my version, i have the iso downloaded but i can't get it to write to the cd in my try any suggestions | 03:35 |
| lord_hypnos | thanks, does anyone know how to check which ports are often and which are closed? so that I can have an open port for transmission | 03:35 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- You're using Ubuntu? | 03:35 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: yes it was from a desktop...it was first used on a windows box, and then it was used on a linux box..how it got "corrupted" or "converted" to be seen as "RAW" drive i have no idea | 03:36 |
| FAJ | lord_hypnos: snort, nessus etc etc. | 03:36 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: yes | 03:36 |
| enovativ_ | but i thought i read some where that a "RAW" drive could be converted to FAT32 or NTFS using linux | 03:36 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 --- Right-click on the ISO -- It should prompt Burn using <> Creator. Something like that. | 03:36 |
| thorin81 | How do I add custom packages with what looks like the command line? | 03:36 |
| enovativ_ | i have tried other utilities thru windows and had no luck | 03:36 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx | 03:36 |
| comradekingu | lord_hypnos: http://www.deluge-torrent.org/test-port.php?port=1234 | 03:37 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: thanks for the link...btw...i can't back up the drive because i have nothing that can read the RAW drive contents | 03:37 |
| Ward1983 | mwhit74, sudo apt-get isntall k3b if you would like something nero-alike :) | 03:37 |
| dmole | enovativ_: I thought I told you the problem is not converting ?was I wrong? | 03:37 |
| mwhit74 | Ward1983: nero-like??? what is that | 03:37 |
| white-sheep | !k3b | white-sheep | 03:37 |
| ubottu | white-sheep, please see my private message | 03:37 |
| dmole | enovativ_: you need to recover your partition | 03:37 |
| enovativ_ | dmole: how do i go about doing that ? can i used gparted to do that ? | 03:38 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: yea i tried that, i im not sure if the disk drive is mounting | 03:38 |
| dmole | enovativ_: no | 03:38 |
| enovativ_ | dmole: is there a utility in linux that can "recover" the partition ? | 03:38 |
| dmole | enovativ_: you need some HD recovery tools but it would help if you knew what it was before it got corupted | 03:39 |
| axisys | lspci shows it too | 03:39 |
| axisys | 02:0a.0 Multimedia controller: Pinnacle Systems Inc. AV/DV Studio Capture Card | 03:39 |
| axisys | need a way to capture the feed from it | 03:39 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- What do you mean? When you burned the disc, and it's still in tray -- It'll show up on your Desktop. | 03:39 |
| dmole | enovativ_: do you know? | 03:39 |
| lord_hypnos | nice I found an open port | 03:39 |
| === m1dn1ght_ is now known as m1dn1ght | ||
| enovativ_ | dmole: i am going to assume NTFS....because windws xp only sees but so much GB of space on a FAT32 partition ...am i correct ? | 03:39 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: that would be the problem i have no disk on my desktop showing that it mounted | 03:40 |
| mwhit74 | ps what should i do | 03:40 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- Open the tray and close it again. You might unmount it already. | 03:40 |
| === null is now known as Guest39766 | ||
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: trying that now | 03:40 |
| dmole | enovativ_: NTFS is probable | 03:41 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: cd sounded like it was booting up then quit after about 10 secs | 03:41 |
| lord_hypnos | ok thanks to you all, i gotta go now | 03:41 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: maybe my drive is just f-ed | 03:41 |
| enovativ_ | dmole: so now i have to find HD recovery tools...i used several in windows, and they did not work | 03:41 |
| enovativ_ | so i will research to see if linux offers any | 03:41 |
| thorin81 | Still having issues with how to get Broadcom networking adapter to work. Noob to the interface. The link that was provided seems to be for a seasoned linux user. I cannot figure out how to use it...help much appriciated | 03:42 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- Sorry to hear that -- What were you trying to do? Update, you said? You can just do it right there. | 03:42 |
| white-sheep | Anybody here experienced with Java-6-sun-JDK (not JRE) + Plugins? | 03:42 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: yea, but i have heard/read it was better to uninstall and reinstall | 03:42 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: what's your opinion? | 03:42 |
| dmole | enovativ_: yah there are good ones for linux but they are harder to use you can edit it manualy but you want to avoid that. | 03:43 |
| petafile | I just installed a dual boot sysem with fakeraid, but my ntfs(vista) partition couldn't be mounted during install, is there a utility to add it to fstab for me now, or do i need to do it by hand? | 03:43 |
| centr0 | can anyone suggest a good torrent client? | 03:43 |
| rww | !torrent | centr0 | 03:43 |
| ubottu | centr0: 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 | 03:43 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- Uninstall and reinstall? This is not Windows. >_> | 03:43 |
| rww | centr0: personally, I like Transmission, Deluge, and rTorrent | 03:43 |
| dmole | enovativ_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Lost%20Partition | 03:43 |
| centr0 | rww: ty :D | 03:43 |
| enovativ_ | dmole: i do not want to pay any utility to do what i need done...so i might have to learn how to do it manually | 03:43 |
| enovativ_ | dmole: thanks for the link | 03:44 |
| sshirley | Is there a CUPS IRD channel | 03:44 |
| sshirley | I finally got my wireless networking running!! | 03:45 |
| jkristheking | anyone know how to get rid of the brightness app? my bios alreay handles it and it's really anoying | 03:45 |
| onexused | sshirley: good for you : ) it took me longer than it should have, too. | 03:45 |
| petafile | I just installed a dual boot sysem with fakeraid, but my ntfs(vista) partition couldn't be mounted during install, is there a utility to add it to fstab for me now, or do i need to do it by hand? | 03:45 |
| white-sheep | Anybody here experienced with Java-6-sun-JDK (not JRE) + Plugins? I seek Java-related assistance. :) | 03:45 |
| sshirley | onexused: There's a reason *nix admins make good money :-) | 03:46 |
| mwhit74 | white-sheep: well like install the newer version over the top of the old one | 03:46 |
| jkristheking | dose anyone here have the demonoid channel? i forgot what the stuff is | 03:46 |
| dmole | enovativ_: you should also look up some tools to see if the HD is faulty. + repair the file system | 03:46 |
| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- I suppose you can update but I think it's better that you reinstall it when the latest release came out -- I think you'll just get about same thing -- but you'll lose your setting unless you back up your data. | 03:47 |
| abarai_renji | hi, to the developers:thanks 4 the updates | 03:47 |
| onexused | I'm trying to update from 8.04 to 8.10 using an (alternate) ISO image. The image's MD5sum matches the one on the server I downloaded from (listed on ubuntu.com), but when I try to run /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade, I'm told it can't find a path that definitely is present, and when I try to add the mounted ISO with software-sources, it tells me a bunch of things have bad file descriptors. | 03:48 |
| n8tuser | white-sheep-> whats the deal with jdk 6 ? | 03:48 |

| mwhit74 | white-sheep: well how do i reinstall then? | 03:50 |
| cH3Bz_01 | quit | 03:50 |
| onexused | Okay, when I tried typing sudo /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade this time, it worked. But why can't I add the mounted image or a CD I burn from it in software-sources? | 03:50 |
| dmole | enovativ_: keep in mind that your partition could be ok but the FS on it could be corrupted | 03:50 |

| jimjimhim | yaris123456789, what are you trying to do? | 03:51 |
| quizme | yaris123456789: where did you register your domain? I can help you if you registered it at godaddy | 03:51 |
| white-sheep | n8tuser, I'm switching over from open-source java (jre) to sun-6-java (jdk). I'm trying to develop Java in linux. | 03:51 |

| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 03:53 |

| white-sheep | mwhit74 -- Your download may be corrupted. | 03:53 |

| jimjimhim | yaris123456789, then point it to www on your static IP. Create an A (DNS Record) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types | 03:54 |
| paradizelost | howdy all | 03:54 |

| n8tuser | white-sheep-> im not exactly sure if there is a problem, all you said was you were going to develop using java | 03:55 |
| paradizelost | what bitorrent client would you recommend for RSS torrent feeds? | 03:55 |
| yaris123456789 | jimjimhim: usually isn't it the case that i go to registrar, add the nameservers, and it will automatically link the www.something.com to my server? | 03:55 |
| paradizelost | i've been using Vuze, but i'm wanting to look into other options | 03:55 |
| woli | hi | 03:55 |
| woli | i used to use my wacom like some months ago | 03:55 |
| woli | it worked perfectly | 03:55 |
| rww | !torrent > paradizelost | 03:55 |
| ubottu | paradizelost, please see my private message | 03:55 |
| woli | now it has ceased | 03:55 |
| woli | !torrent > woli | 03:56 |
| ubottu | woli, please see my private message | 03:56 |
| paradizelost | rww i was asking for a recommendation | 03:56 |
| paradizelost | not a list of options | 03:56 |

| jimjimhim | yaris123456789, what nameserver? Yours? | 03:56 |
| yaris123456789 | yes | 03:56 |
| woli | its so simple... yet so complete... | 03:56 |
| jimjimhim | yaris123456789, you set up a nameserver? | 03:57 |
| yaris123456789 | yes | 03:57 |
| white-sheep | n8tuser --- You probably are using JRE -- Java Runtime Environment -- Good for running compiled Java binary. I switched to JDK -- Java Development Kit -- Good for compiling source codes to Java binary -- Then use JRE (it's included in JDK by default) to run the said binary. | 03:57 |

| petafile | is there a command to mount things according to fstab (to check my changes before rebooting, I added my ntfs partition) | 03:57 |
| rww | petafile: mount -a, i think | 03:57 |
| jimjimhim | yaris123456789, then create an A record for that static IP from your ISP. Then open up the ports (port forwarding) in your firewall for http (port 80) | 03:58 |
| petafile | typing man mount always makes me feel a little ghey. . . | 03:58 |
| [e]Lement | lol | 03:58 |
| n8tuser | n8tuser i know the difference between the jre and jdk, now, what is the issue you are having? | 03:58 |
| jimjimhim | petafile, are you like 10? | 03:58 |

| enovativ_ | is it possilbe to use VMWARE workstation on linux, and have a image of Ubuntu Server, and two images of Ubuntu 8.04, and network them together ? | 04:01 |
| yaris123456789 | jimjimhim: how do i create A record in zonefile ? | 04:01 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, yes, I do that all the time. =) | 04:02 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, there are pre-created vmware images from the ubuntu download site | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | white-sheep-> oh i thought you meant you wanted to develop java | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | programs | 04:02 |
| speaker219 | hm | 04:02 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/ | 04:02 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: so you can use VMWARE workstation to do this ? i do not have to worry about using maybe VMWARE ESX (i think it is a new name now) | 04:02 |
| speaker219 | i'm on intrepid (8.10), just installed | 04:03 |
| speaker219 | running a few tasks in the GUI, but other than that nothing | 04:03 |
| speaker219 | there are 176 processes running | 04:03 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, nope you can even use vmware player | 04:03 |
| speaker219 | is this unusual? >.> | 04:03 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: thanks.... | 04:03 |
| jimjimhim | np | 04:03 |
| jimjimhim | yaris123456789, you need to go to the server channel this is for desktop stuff | 04:04 |
| Starnestommy | jimjimhim: I believe this channel also supports server-related questions | 04:04 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: great i have been wanting to know that for a while....going to start teaching myself networking using linux......other would like for me to get a MCSE ....i just can't do it....too many darn tests ...who wants to take 7 tests ? ! | 04:04 |
| Starnestommy | speaker219: that doesn't sound unusual | 04:04 |
| speaker219 | wouldn't this slow things down in general? | 04:05 |
| speaker219 | windows only has ~20 processes running when i'm doing about the same amount of things | 04:05 |

| Zelda1 | are there lots of people having issues with xorg in the 8.10? | 04:05 |
| Starnestommy | speaker219: it depends more on how much CPU and RAM those processes are using than how many processes there are | 04:05 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, don't do it. If you want a cert go for the LPIC. MCSE isn't worth much more than toilet paper these days | 04:06 |
| thorin81 | how do I use custom packages in repositories? any one? | 04:06 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: i agree about the tiolet paper...LOL....what is LPIC...i am going to assume that the LP means Linux Professional | 04:06 |

| HardON | My bad guys | 04:11 |
| HardON | Haha | 04:11 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, Look up your local LUG (Linux User Group) and join it | 04:11 |
| carandraug | thorin81: there's a GUI to do that. But you can only edit the text file | 04:11 |
| jimjimhim | enovativ_, also join your Ubuntu LOco team | 04:11 |
| enovativ_ | jimjimhim: thanks for that info..never thought about that | 04:11 |
| thorin81 | carandraug: how do I find the GUI? | 04:11 |

| [TiZ] | Hi. I used the Alsa 1.0.18 installation script, and then reverted my changes using its -r switch. Now I don't have any sound devices. Can anyone help? | 04:21 |
| xeroz | hello | 04:21 |
| carandraug | thorin81: no. Something should update now and you're ready to install it. I hope it solves your problem with the broadcom adapter | 04:21 |
| woli | paradizelost, i can't help you there then. I ignored the existance of an application with such features. I can recommend you a RSS feed reader, but not torrent, named livefeed | 04:21 |
| thorin81 | carandraug: what do you mean : | 04:22 |
| thorin81 | carandraug: "something should update"? | 04:22 |
| thorin81 | carandraugL | 04:22 |
| thorin81 | carandraug: do I need to do anything to make the update happen? | 04:23 |
| Zelda1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/89670/ | 04:23 |
| xeroz | hey is there any way I can log in as root in ubuntu without sudo? | 04:23 |
| carandraug | thorin81: after you add that line to sources line, it should update the list of available packages. I'm not sure it's automatic (though I think so). Just to be safe, run "sudo aptitude update" on the terminal | 04:23 |
| tsrk | xeros, "sudo passwd root" will set a root password | 04:24 |
| Robyn_M | I'd appreciate if someone could help me - I have a pc configured as a media center. It has an internet connection via an ethernet cable hooked to a WRT54G that's been converted with DD-WRT to serve the internet for the downstairs. It works out of the box in xp so I know it works, but I don't know how to make it work in ubuntu 8.10 | 04:24 |
| tsrk | you can also do the equivalent of a "su" by typing "sudo -i" | 04:24 |
| Psi-Jack | What does Gnome use for it's current sound system? Uses a library now, mostly instead of esound, right? What's that library called? | 04:24 |
| Starnestommy | xeroz: sudo -i is the safest method | 04:24 |

| cmd | Hey guys, I just loaded up ubuntu 8.04, should I upgrade to 8.10? | 04:28 |
| Psi-Jack | What does Gnome use for it's current sound system? Uses a library now, mostly instead of esound, right? What's that library called? | 04:28 |
| Zelda1 | i have even copied xorf.conf from that version and copied it to 8.10 and it isnt working. | 04:28 |
| Hemebond | Psi-Jack: Pulse | 04:28 |
| Psi-Jack | Hemebond: That's not Gnome's sound library. It just CAN use it. | 04:28 |
| jtaji | Hemebond: /srv/svn/ | 04:29 |
| Hemebond | Psi-Jack: That's the default. | 04:29 |
| Hemebond | jtaji: srv? | 04:29 |
| carandraug | thorin81: download this http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/cafuego.gpg and on that same menu (software sources), go to the tab "authentication" and choose "Import key file...". Then choose the gpg file | 04:29 |
| Psi-Jack | Hemebond: Uh huh... I know. but it's not it's sound library it uses. THAT library uses Pulse by default, or at least in Ubuntu it does. | 04:29 |
| Hemebond | jtaji: Wow. Didn't know that was there. | 04:29 |

| Zelda1 | no. | 04:29 |
| Zelda1 | Im having issues with it | 04:29 |
| jimjimhim | cmd, why would you want to? Is something not working? | 04:30 |
| Psi-Jack | sara_: Depends. Do you want current software bleeding edge at the cost of some stability, or do you want stability? | 04:30 |
| xeroz | it says "Cannot Log in as System Asdministrator from this screen" | 04:30 |

| jimjimhim | cmd, I can't help you on "applizing" your setup | 04:31 |

| thorin81 | carandraug: I go to the website and all I get is a page full of gibberish nothing to download. | 04:31 |

| FAJ | sara_: oh wow. | 04:31 |

| carandraug | thorin81: the link is not a page. It's a file. Download it | 04:32 |

| tsrk | and set your password | 04:33 |
| relik77080 | hey whats the command to see which ati drivers are installed? | 04:33 |
| carandraug | thorin81: no problem. You can just open it in firefox and choose to save it as if you were saving a page. Or in the terminal with the command "wget http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/cafuego.gpg" | 04:33 |
| sara_ | FAJ: looks like that MAY have worked | 04:34 |

| carandraug | is there something as a general equalizer in Ubuntu 8.10? I fell like the sound has more bass since I switched to 8.10 | 04:34 |
| sara_ | ill reboot and check | 04:34 |
| xeroz | no. what I mean is when you log in. I got the password right, you just can't log out and log in as root | 04:34 |
| FAJ | sara_: ah the simple stuff ;) | 04:34 |
| xeroz | in Fedora 9 however when I used it, you can | 04:34 |
| relik77080 | hey whats the command to see which ati drivers are installed? | 04:34 |
| thorin81 | carandraug: once I have imported the key what should happen? | 04:35 |
| xeroz | I go to System -> Logout then I log in as Root | 04:35 |
| tsrk | Pici, I didn't suggest one, but he wanted to know how to set one so I told him | 04:35 |
| xeroz | will let me do it in Fedora, won't let me do it in Ubuntu | 04:35 |
| Pici | xeroz: Ubuntu isn't Fedora. Do you know how to use sudo? | 04:35 |
| xeroz | yeah | 04:35 |
| carandraug | thorin81: update and you should have no "Signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" problem this time | 04:35 |
| tsrk | Pici, as a user it's really annoying when I ask a really specific question and people give workaround answers just because of some philosophy that people want to abide by | 04:35 |
| FAJ | !root | 04:35 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:35 |
| Pici | tsrk: I was just providing an fYI. | 04:36 |
| xeroz | I was just wondering if it was possible to log in as root from the start | 04:36 |
| tsrk | Pici, ok, I know the risks of a root password and that is why I don't use one myself, but I'm just giving him the info he asked for | 04:36 |
| FAJ | xeroz: very very very bad idea. | 04:36 |
| tsrk | xeroz, they're right, you shouldn't be logging into root, especially from the GDM | 04:37 |
| xeroz | yes I know that. especially if you are not careful | 04:37 |
| tsrk | ok | 04:37 |

| sara_ | FAJ: yes | 04:38 |
| carandraug | thorin81: now it's done. You can continue with what you're doing. WHy were you trying to add that line in first place? How did you get there? | 04:38 |
| xeroz | so how do I set it so it can display that theme? | 04:39 |
| FAJ | sara_: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub | 04:39 |
| tsrk | xeroz, I haven't actually done that myself, but from a quick search I found this: http://jayant7k.blogspot.com/2007/06/change-boot-splash-screen-ubuntu.html | 04:39 |

| thorin81 | carandraug: nothing comes up | 04:44 |

| Ward1983 | Robyn_M, what card? | 05:04 |
| Robyn_M | Thank you. That's the first response I've gotten | 05:04 |
| Robyn_M | it's an NVIDIA chipset | 05:04 |
| simpleos | did you try MythTV? | 05:05 |
| Ward1983 | Robyn_M, nice :) let me check, don't have a TV here though so cant test | 05:05 |
| simpleos | what are you trying to use it for? | 05:05 |

| Ward1983 | Robyn_M, lol sorry i didn't know | 05:06 |
| Robyn_M | No worries | 05:06 |
| Ward1983 | Robyn_M, is it gonna be only connected to the TV ? | 05:06 |
| simpleos | or an external monitor? | 05:06 |
| Robyn_M | Ward1983 as soon as the tv works, yes | 05:06 |

| Ward1983 | Robyn_M, its made for that | 05:11 |
| Ward1983 | but yoou could also jsut install mythtv on top of 8.10 | 05:12 |
| TestingTheTest | Simpleos, i keep getting: "an installion step failed. ... the failing step is: select and install software" | 05:12 |

| Ward1983 | Robyn_M, about anything most people would want on their mediacenter | 05:14 |

| fryd_ | ?] | 05:23 |

| fryd_ | really tho ??? | 05:23 |
| abbahi | oh by sending a file into their system!!!!!!huh | 05:23 |
| carandraug | billybigrigger: right click on the folder, select properties, choose permissions, change it and select to apply to the contents of the folder | 05:23 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, ya just extract | 05:23 |
| fryd_ | [ ? ] | 05:23 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: then you need +w on the directory, not write on the files | 05:23 |
| abbahi | mailing friend!!!1 then scannning | 05:23 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: doh.. my bad. i forgot something! | 05:24 |
| abbahi | ok ok enough now | 05:24 |

| abbahi | no da,1'st send a file then,u scan it | 05:25 |
| Ward1983 | abbahi, please try to explain your problem once and as clearly as possible, if nobody replies nobody has an answer | 05:25 |
| raylu | !in | abbahi | 05:25 |
| ubottu | abbahi: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India | 05:25 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: another example... dpkg --set-selection < packages ...that's if your filename is 'packages' | 05:25 |
| fryd_ | but you have to use a port right? | 05:25 |
| DasEi | onetinsoldier:just does the update then | 05:25 |
| fryd_ | what port would you use? | 05:25 |
| abbahi | ok,i pasted the error,its telling,Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.). | 05:25 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: yes.. now, apt-get update | 05:25 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, sudo chmod +w ~/BLAH/* doesn't work | 05:26 |
| DasEi | onetinsoldier:just does the update then, doesn't install the file-pakets | 05:26 |

| abbahi | port | 05:26 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: that doesn't set +w on BLAH | 05:26 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: take off the trailing /* | 05:26 |
| fryd_ | ? | 05:26 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: no... to install them, do... apt-get -u dist-upgrade (the -u is optional) | 05:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | will be serching through faqs and checking back here | 05:26 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 05:27 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, same error, read-only filesystem | 05:27 |
| forces_ | what program can I use to burn a ISO file? | 05:27 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: lol... | 05:27 |
| mankash | anybody expert in dev nodes | 05:27 |
| forces_ | in vista | 05:27 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: if you had told us that that was the error earlier, we could have saved you a lot of time | 05:27 |
| forces_ | cause I dont have any program | 05:27 |
| abbahi | ok ubottu.....i'l login in there from next time | 05:27 |
| DasEi | forces_: k3b, see also : | 05:27 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: the problem isn't permissions on that directory, the entire file system is mounted ro | 05:27 |
| DasEi | !burn | 05:27 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 05:27 |
| WebcamWonder | KRaZy_WaKa: I think it is apt-get install -f... I am not sure, look at the man page | 05:27 |
| abbahi | fryd which port u r talking? | 05:27 |
| raylu | !anyone | mankash | 05:27 |
| ubottu | mankash: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:27 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | forces_ you may want to check the #windows channel for iso burning on vista but i would suggest nero burning ROM or MagicISO | 05:28 |
| DasEi | what was the syntay for dpkg to reinstall from a paketfile ? (old !clone trigger) ? | 05:28 |
| fryd_ | that's what I'm asking you?? | 05:28 |
| Jebustek | I just downloaded and burned Ubuntu 8.10, but after I choose a language, it is not doing anything when I press ENTER to any of the options except "Boot from first hard disk. I cannot "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" or anything else, and I do not know what is wrong... | 05:28 |
| abbahi | 657 | 05:28 |
| fryd_ | ? | 05:28 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ahh WebcamWonder that sounds familiar | 05:28 |
| fryd_ | thats the port? | 05:28 |
| DasEi | Jebustek: verified installer-cd (bootoption) ? | 05:29 |
| mankash | what is the meaning of this command #cat /etc/IxNpeMicrocode.dat > /dev/ixNpe IXnpe is a dev node | 05:29 |
| abbahi | yea d number? | 05:29 |
| abbahi | i m not getting ? | 05:29 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, well i havent rebooted my laptop in a few days, and i didnt have this problem last night, and the night before, for the last 4 days its been running i haven't had this problem | 05:29 |
| Jebustek | DasEi, no idea... | 05:29 |
| WebcamWonder | mankash: Dump the contents of that file into the node | 05:29 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, so why all of a sudden is my fs mounted ro | 05:29 |
| mankash | sorry please explian mode | 05:30 |
| mankash | more | 05:30 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: that would depend on what part of it is mounted and the parition format | 05:30 |
| abbahi | hey fryd,i configured a file in home,there i set this no | 05:30 |
| DasEi | Jebustek: the cd has a option check media for defects, does it run ? | 05:30 |
| WebcamWonder | mankash: cat is a command to output the contents of a given file on the standard output stream | 05:30 |
| WebcamWonder | mankash: The > operator dumps the output from the standard output stream into the file on the right hand side of the operator | 05:31 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, well all of my ~/ is afftected, and its ext3 | 05:31 |
| Jebustek | DasEi, no, it does not do anything when I press ENTER either. Maybe I should just try redownloading? | 05:31 |
| abbahi | hey d port no is 587 | 05:31 |
| mankash | that I know but what is the meaning when we are doing it for dev node | 05:31 |
| DasEi | mankash: and the ">" is a pipe to what comes after | 05:31 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: ok, show me the relevant line in "mount" | 05:31 |
| DasEi | !md5 > Jebustek | 05:31 |
| ubottu | Jebustek, please see my private message | 05:31 |
| FAJ | is there a way to upgrade to the latest gnome release in 8.04.1? | 05:31 |

| DasEi | Jebustek: most time it's bad burning, burn at less speed, which app did you use ? burned a cd image to dvd ? | 05:32 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, that first one was df -h, this is mount | 05:32 |

| raylu | billybigrigger: what's your $USER? | 05:33 |

| onetinsoldier | DasEi: did my command not work? | 05:34 |
| abbahi | this is first time using irssi!!!!!!! | 05:34 |
| raylu | abbahi: shut up | 05:35 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, read only fis | 05:35 |
| billybigrigger | fs | 05:35 |
| abbahi | hey cool | 05:35 |
| DasEi | onetsoldier:nope | 05:35 |
| juhls | Anyone use partimage with LVM2? | 05:35 |
| abbahi | really | 05:35 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: ls -ld ~ | 05:35 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | forces_ if you are looking for "free" ISO burning software try a google search on "Open Source iso burners for vista" without the quotes or something to that effect... alternately try the #windows channel... this channel is for Ubuntu Linux Support not Windows Vista | 05:35 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: well what happens that maske you think it's not working? sow me the exact command you are typing in on the command line | 05:36 |
| === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ | ||
| onetinsoldier | damnit.. i can't type cor nothing | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | lol | 05:36 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, lol this is hilarious, i was listening to music before, then when out for a couple beer and dinner come back and my fs is mounted rw, whats going on here? will a simple reboot fix this? as my fs will get re-mounted on boot right? | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | hic | 05:36 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: it might, but would you run that command? | 05:36 |
| saywatmang | hey | 05:36 |
| DasEi | onetsoldier:i don't want to dist-upgrade | 05:36 |
| juhls | I think there is a windows version of cdrecord... If you are looking for a open source burner | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: well what happens that makes you think it's not working? show me the exact command you are typing in on the command line | 05:37 |
| saywatmang | my cpufreq-info shows my CPU is at its max Ghz (2.33) but /rpoc/acpi/processors/cpu0/thorttling shows it's at 25% | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: why don't you want to dist-upgrade? | 05:37 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, ok i did, everything is drwxr-xr-x billybigrigger billybigrigger | 05:37 |
| saywatmang | and its definitly running at 25% telling from how slow things are running | 05:37 |
| saywatmang | anyone have any ideas why these values would be cnflicting ? | 05:37 |
| carandraug | forces_: are you looking for a free and open-source iso burner for windows? Try Infa recorder http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: if you don't do a dist-upgrade, then how do you expect it to work? | 05:38 |
| saywatmang | and cpufreq does actually give me lower values than 2.33 sometimes... like if i unplug my power, it iwll show 2.0ghz instead, because the laptop is running on battery | 05:38 |
| saywatmang | so i feel like htere are two different throttling mechanisms at work | 05:38 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: that's strange... i get the feeling the line you gave me from mount was wrong | 05:38 |
| rww | saywatmang: do you have powernowd installed? | 05:38 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, ill do mount again and pastebin it | 05:38 |
| DasEi | onetinsoldier:I just want to reinstall my pakets from a list, so no dist-upgrade | 05:38 |
| saywatmang | rww, i used to, now i have cpufreqd | 05:38 |
| koshar2 | saywatmang one id the clock speed of your cru and the other os the utilisation of the cpu, many systems scale the systems colck speed of the cpu when on batery power to save energy | 05:39 |
| rww | saywatmang: ah. I was wondering if maybe you have both and it was confusing things. | 05:39 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/89711/ | 05:39 |
| pipcookie | I'd believe /proc. | 05:39 |
| saywatmang | koshar2, which one is utilization ? | 05:39 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: and that's what it will do... the dist-upgrade will install all the packages that were set by the --set-selections | 05:39 |
| forces_ | ok thanks | 05:40 |
| koshar2 | run top and you will see dynamic usage of all processes, | 05:40 |
| raylu | billybigrigger: woah... is ~ not in /home? | 05:40 |
| saywatmang | rww, nah when i isntalled cpufreqq it unsntsalled powenowd | 05:40 |
| DasEi | onetinsoldier:I have stored on another os, gonna reboot and tell you | 05:40 |
| billybigrigger | raylu, say again? ~/ is my /home/billybigrigger no? | 05:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ah genius carandraug... i actually have and use infrarecorder forgot all about it... forces_ thats a definite, i installed it to burn my first ubuntu CD worked like a charm | 05:40 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: have you just done a fresh install? or is this an install that you've had going for a while and you just want reinstall all the packages that are already on it? | 05:40 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: if your cpu is better then a P4, you can rely on only the kernel module cpufreq_ondemand | 05:41 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, i've trid all the diff governers, w/ no effect | 05:41 |
| carandraug | KRaZy_WaKa: yeah. That's what ubuntu tells you to use to burn the Ubuntu ISO in windows in the documentation | 05:41 |
| saywatmang | my process still throttles down to 25% evnetually | 05:41 |
| saywatmang | and then it never comes bakc up until i rebot | 05:41 |
| saywatmang | *processor | 05:41 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: so, you are going to clone what you have on this system onto another? | 05:42 |
| raylu | saywatmang: i believe /proc/cpuinfo will be % of throttled | 05:42 |
| DasEi | onetinsoldier:yes | 05:43 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: what is the problem with that? if you use the right governer there should be no issue, or your cpu is P4 or worse | 05:43 |
| saywatmang | I have a core 2 duo | 05:43 |
| saywatmang | 2.33 | 05:43 |
| saywatmang | there should be no issue but there is | 05:43 |
| saywatmang | i use the performance governer, which should keep it at 100% all the time | 05:43 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | carandraug: good call... doesn't burn copy-protected iso's though, but it really shouldnt be anyway :) | 05:43 |
| saywatmang | and it doesnt | 05:43 |
| saywatmang | once it throttles down to 25% it stays there until reboot | 05:44 |
| saywatmang | no matter if i have 0 programs running | 05:44 |
| saywatmang | and the cpu temp is super cool | 05:44 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: ok. then just do my commands... there is nothing to fear. dpkg --set-selection < packages ; apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade ...that will ensure that you accomplish you goal | 05:44 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: or, one could say that copy-protection really shouldn't be anyway | 05:44 |
| namd3r | If I want to shrink my Windows partition, should I defrag it first? | 05:45 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: should we also code workarounds to make dvd drives read dvds? | 05:45 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: the userspace apps are mostly worthless | 05:45 |
| jacobTS | Hi, I just installed 8.10 and I'm having difficulty enabling my Linksys WMP100 wireless card. Google search returned no solution for me, could anyone give me some assistance? | 05:45 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, like i said ive used ALL the governers | 05:45 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: no there is a difference | 05:45 |
| saywatmang | and i belive the governers only affect hte actual Ghz my machine runs at | 05:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: totally agree... just not trying to condon illegal acts on ubuntu channel ;) | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: that's what you should do on the other system.. thos commands | 05:45 |
| saywatmang | the issue is the throttling % | 05:45 |
| saywatmang | not the Ghz | 05:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | *condone | 05:45 |
| saywatmang | because right now it says im running at full 2.3Ghz, but throttling shows 25% | 05:46 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: userspace and kernelspace, userspace is f*ck*ng up things | 05:46 |
| raylu | jacobTS: output of iwconfig? | 05:46 |
| saywatmang | and i definitly know its running at 25% | 05:46 |
| saywatmang | super f'ing slow | 05:46 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, so what does that mean ? | 05:46 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: just let kernelspace handle it | 05:46 |
| jacobTS | raylu: lo, etho0, eth1, pan0 all say no wireless extensions. | 05:46 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, how ? | 05:46 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: remove the userspace apps | 05:46 |
| cpp32 | reboot | 05:47 |
| saywatmang | which userspace apps ? | 05:47 |
| DasEI1 | onetinsoldier: dpkg --get-selections > pak.txt | 05:47 |
| DasEI1 | sudo dpkg --set-selections < pak.txt && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 05:47 |
| camerongroom1 | Would someone please help me open flash cs3 with wine I have checked the faq and they did not help very much :( Please I'm desperate to get this program working. | 05:47 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: cpufreqd and powernowd | 05:47 |
| raylu | jacobTS: do you have the relevant line from lspci? | 05:47 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, ok lemme try taht | 05:47 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: then "sudo apt-get install sysfsutils" | 05:47 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, wats that for ? | 05:48 |
| jacobTS | raylu: 06:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R | 05:48 |
| raylu | jacobTS: o.0? | 05:48 |

| onetinsoldier | Photoguy: just the full path ofthe filename will probably work, like this /usr/bin/less /home/username/document.txtx | 06:21 |
| Photoguy | What is the command to run something (in the terminal) after typing in the path? | 06:21 |
| Photoguy | Ok | 06:21 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | onetinsoldier: i was reading it the same, yet add/remove programs gives me the same error code after 3 methods i've tried to fix broken packages and i went through the whole of all available applications so it really sux that its giving me this error as my eyes went bugy going through it all :) | 06:21 |
| GT1 | ontas: Are you in a different window manager, like KDE or XFCE? | 06:21 |
| Tim__Reichhart | alright nobody could help its kewl | 06:22 |
| onats | when typing it, should it go back to prompt? | 06:22 |

| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: howdy! | 06:22 |
| darkfuzion | hello | 06:22 |
| darkfuzion | i did it my way lol | 06:22 |
| darkfuzion | i did the guided in the partition | 06:22 |
| kevdog | How the frick do I use gconftool | 06:22 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: so, it's all now? update-manager isn't complainin either, correct? | 06:22 |
| GT1 | ontas: Then that's easy. If you have GNOME installed, just log out, change your session back to GNOME, and log back in. | 06:22 |
| raylu | onats, GT1: kde and xfce are not window managers :P | 06:23 |
| darkfuzion | i got wine Hq installed now its time to test some stuff yes | 06:23 |

| raylu | GT1: gnome, kde, xfce are desktop environments which include window managers | 06:23 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | onetinsoldier: nope just finished update manager before i went to add/remove programs | 06:23 |
| GT1 | raylu: Desktop environments! That was it... | 06:24 |
| onats | there. thats better! | 06:24 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: dpkg -l | egrep 'powernowd|cpufreq' <-- this should not return any line | 06:24 |
| saywatmang | in ubuntu what runlevel is bootup... aka which rc.d dir should i disable the script in so that it doesnt start during bootup | 06:24 |
| raylu | onats: no it's not. you should try xmonad :D | 06:24 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: in this bust channel always precede a message meant for me with my nick | 06:24 |
| onats | raylu, whats that? | 06:24 |
| onats | and how do i get it? | 06:24 |
| raylu | saywatmang: all of them are "boot up" | 06:24 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: ok, good! :-) | 06:24 |
| raylu | onats: it's in the repositories; and it's a window manager | 06:24 |
| riz0n | Can someone give me a location in Ubuntu where user accounts are logged in/ out? | 06:24 |

| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: bust = busy.. sorry | 06:25 |
| * darkfuzion did it with the guided partitions and did resized the the drive and made room for ubuntu | 06:25 | |
| raylu | onats: seriously? | 06:25 |
| onats | you said its good! | 06:25 |
| riz0n | so if someone sudo rm -rf /var/log then there is no way of obtaining any session data? | 06:25 |
| raylu | onats: erm... | 06:25 |
| onats | or is that a joke? | 06:25 |
| raylu | onats: might want to google around a bit first | 06:25 |
| * darkfuzion want to go full time in ubuntu lol | 06:25 | |
| raylu | onats: it is "good," and it was only half a joke | 06:25 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, do i need to purge all of those ? | 06:26 |
| onats | lol ok nevermind | 06:26 |
| raylu | onats: but you should have an idea of what you're about to get yourself into | 06:26 |
| onats | thanks | 06:26 |
| ap107 | hi | 06:26 |
| riz0n | rayla: so if someone sudo rm -rf /var/log then there is no way of obtaining any session data? | 06:26 |
| raylu | riz0n: ... | 06:26 |
| raylu | riz0n: have you see the rest of the stuff in there? | 06:26 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: so, what did the guided partitioning do? resize? all one big partition and filesystem? or something else? | 06:26 |
| raylu | riz0n: session data is also stored in your user's home directory | 06:26 |
| darkfuzion | but all in all i did all my updates and compiz fusion and winehq install | 06:26 |
| GT1 | raylu: So, metacity is GNOME's window manager, then? I've always seen that calle da window decorator, I think. | 06:26 |
| riz0n | raylu: any specific files? | 06:26 |
| raylu | riz0n: removing them doesn't do anything; they'll likely be created again | 06:27 |
| riz0n | raylu: sorry, just curious, had a machine broken into and the /var/log folder was erased | 06:27 |
| darkfuzion | one big partition not sure but it worked lol | 06:27 |
| raylu | GT1: Metacity (pronounced /m..tæs.ti/, rhyming with "capacity" with the stress on the second syllable[1]) is a compositing window manager used by default in the GNOME desktop environment. (wikipedia) | 06:27 |
| raylu | GT1: i *think* it's both | 06:27 |
| onats | raylu, do you know of an app where i can put system monitoring tools on my desktop? | 06:27 |
| onats | or a site that teaches a lot about it? | 06:27 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: roger. but again, in this busy channel, please use my nick if yer talking to me! ;-) thanks | 06:28 |
| raylu | onats: system monitoring like... cpu, ram, etc? | 06:28 |
| Photoguy | After cd directory...then what do I type to start "outlaws.py" | 06:28 |
| raylu | onats: there are applets for your panel | 06:28 |
| onats | raylu, yes | 06:28 |
| Photoguy | Sorry | 06:28 |
| darkfuzion | onetinsoldier: roger that | 06:28 |
| raylu | onats: desktop widgets are um... painful | 06:28 |

| GT1 | raylu: Mind if I PM you? | 06:28 |
| Photoguy | Ah, thanks | 06:28 |
| riz0n | Is there any possibility of unerasing files from the hard drive? | 06:28 |
| raylu | GT1: go ahead | 06:28 |
| darkfuzion | if yu dont mindo | 06:29 |
| raylu | onats: there are plenty of people who have set them up well, but | 06:29 |
| raylu | onats: some of them are buggy, or so i hear. i've never looked into it much myself | 06:29 |
| onetinsoldier | riz0n: with ext3 filesystem? i've been told no | 06:29 |
| raylu | onats: the panel applet works well for me, though | 06:29 |
| GT1 | SWEET GENIUS! 1241 people! O.O | 06:29 |
| riz0n | About the only file in the /home/ folder I have found of any relevence is the .bash_history, is there any other files in the /home folder that can give me any ideas as to who my attacker may be? | 06:29 |
| raylu | riz0n: yes, but it's not worth it | 06:30 |
| raylu | riz0n: are you behind a router? | 06:30 |
| raylu | riz0n: "it" = recovering files off the hd | 06:30 |
| riz0n | No the server is directly linked to the Internet | 06:30 |

| onats | raylu, ok thanks anyway. playing with the panels now | 06:30 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | onetinsoldier: went to applications menu > add/remove... selected all available applications from drop down menu... went through everything to check the apps i wanted for installation and it gave me the error Could not apply changes! fix broken packages first. did synaptic > edit > fix broken packages hit retry in add/remove, same error... did sudo apt-get install -f in terminal as well as sudo dpkg --configure -a... retry | 06:30 |
| onetinsoldier | riz0n: are you using a software firewall at all? | 06:31 |
| riz0n | onetinsoldier: no | 06:31 |
| riz0n | unless ubuntu has one built in | 06:31 |
| qcjn | and when i right click on youtube video You have version 9,0,124,0 installed | 06:31 |

| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: ... | 06:31 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: perhaps i misunderstood, is it still giving you trouble? | 06:31 |
| * darkfuzion need some help in mounting a mp3 player | 06:31 | |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: you selected.. what to install? | 06:31 |
| riz0n | the attacker was even ingenius and telnet 127.0.0.1 so their address wouldn't even appear in the "Last connected from" line in bash | 06:31 |
| riz0n | LTL: the attacker rm -rf /var/log | 06:31 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 06:32 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 06:32 |
| darkfuzion | that was wacked | 06:32 |
| riz0n | yes i know, for future, but im just curious whether or not there is anything i can do to find out history based on what little i may have left on this drive | 06:32 |
| riz0n | yes i know, for future, but im just curious whether or not there is anything i can do to find out history based on what little i may have left on this drive | 06:32 |
| onetinsoldier | pretty quick netsplit tho | 06:32 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: to list them all would require a serious pastebin, but if it would help i can put it up | 06:33 |
| onetinsoldier | riz0n: perhaps you should install... iptraf, and firestarter | 06:33 |

| onetinsoldier | raylu: lol | 06:34 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: you do realize that selecting all of them won't work, right? packages conflict | 06:34 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | onetinsoldier: yes still giving problems, and wow that was interesting, my first netsplit :D | 06:34 |
| onats | is there a way to have 2 independent desktop resolutions on an ati card? | 06:35 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: didnt select all of them, just quite a few, getting back what i once had on a fresh vanilla hardy install, and a few new things | 06:35 |
| onetinsoldier | riz0n: no, not much you can do really. there are log files to look at if you have them, in /var/log.... look at /var/log/messages /var/log/auth, ect | 06:35 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: it's likely that two or more of them conflict | 06:35 |
| riz0n | onetinsoldier: thanks for the info. wish the hacker hadn't erased them ;) | 06:35 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | if i pastebin the apps would you give them a once over to point me in the direction of possible conflicts? | 06:36 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: perhaps you should learn to use 'aptitude' to start off with | 06:36 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: Does your Internet connection have a DHCP server? | 06:36 |
| TestingTheTest | Riz0n, idk. | 06:36 |

| MuZI | lol | 06:37 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: it'd be easier if you pastebinned the output of the installation process | 06:37 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | onetinsoldier: i really like the convenience of gui for mass installs | 06:37 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: also, what onetinsoldier said :D | 06:37 |
| MuZI | Hey, does anyone here use slingbox? | 06:37 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | is dpkg the backend for add/remove in applications menu? | 06:38 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: yes.. | 06:38 |
| TestingTheTest | Riz0n, i'm using a modem and a wireless router. | 06:38 |
| Gnome__ | hi can anyone help me with this error, end-of-central-directory-signature not found? | 06:39 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: you should be able to enter your SSID, wireless password, and be good to go | 06:39 |
| I_Am | anyone here play eve-online on linux? | 06:39 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: and i hear you about the gui being very nice for mass installs. it nice because you get a great view of it all | 06:39 |
| TestingTheTest | Riz0n, what's my SSID ? | 06:39 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: that's a funny question. dpkg is the backend for apt, which is the backend for the gui tools | 06:39 |
| raylu | I_Am: no, but i've been asleep, and that's the same thing :P | 06:40 |
| raylu | I_Am: i suppose you're trying to wine it? | 06:40 |
| darkfuzion | gpg --symmetric file to encrypt | 06:40 |
| I_Am | no it has a linux version | 06:40 |
| raylu | I_Am: :O | 06:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: gotta luv linux :P well technically the inner workings of any OS just more open to the user in linux | 06:40 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, ok all the modules are gone from lsmod, thats good, now i have to try to see if i can make it step down again | 06:40 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: The SSID is the ID name assigned to your wireless router | 06:40 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: how do you mean? | 06:41 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: true.. i think he wanted to know what handled the actual installation of packages tho. but yeah, you're right! | 06:41 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, i have to max out the cpu for a while before it happens | 06:41 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, after every reboot it starts at 100%, but at some point it just throttles downt o 25% and stays there until i rebot | 06:41 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: sometimes your router is named a default name, such as NETGEAR or linksys, or predefined from the factory (look on the bottom of the router for a name) or it may be a name that you have assigned it during configuration. Most the time, however, Ubuntu's network manager will show you the closest detected Wifi SSID's detected in range. Of course, this requires that your router be "broadcasting" its SSID. | 06:42 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, hrm ok it just stepped to 87%... so it may still be happpening | 06:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i really need to start taking notes that way when i mess my install up i don't have to rely on the support channel so much lol | 06:42 |
| TestingTheTest | Riz0n, like when Ubuntu desktop says i've connected to 'BigBear' ? | 06:42 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: Yes | 06:42 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: 'BigBear' would be the SSID of your Wireless Access Point. | 06:42 |
| TestingTheTest | I see. and i enter this how on ubuntu server ? | 06:42 |
| Leewang | thats a sweet nick | 06:42 |
| onetinsoldier | KRaZy_WaKa: ok, raylu hit me with cluebat.. apt-get is the back end to synaptic. but dpkg handles the actuall install and uninstalling of individual packages | 06:42 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: are there any cpufreq modules loaded? | 06:42 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: *whack* | 06:43 |
| Leewang | :404 not found: | 06:43 |
| Neurologic | Does anyone know of a way to get the Oxygen icon set from KDE4 for use on gnome? or perhaps can tell me the package name so I can get it? | 06:43 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: hehe | 06:43 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: but uh, that's correct | 06:43 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: Normally you just click the network icon at the top right corner of your screen next to the system clock. If it has it listed simply click it, otherwise, click to "Connect to hidden wireless network" | 06:43 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, nope | 06:43 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, a thermal module is loaded, not sure if that does anyhting | 06:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | onetinsoldier and add/remove is a "prettier" gui for synaptic application install/removal | 06:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ? | 06:44 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: then you may have to check you bios | 06:44 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: technically, apt-get is the frontend to apt :D | 06:44 |
| onetinsoldier | dpkg handles dependencies too | 06:44 |
| TestingTheTest | Riz0n, i'm talking about Ubuntu Server. i'm fine on Ubuntu Desktop. | 06:44 |
| hspaans | saywatmang: it may the the system is scaling back because the cpu gets to hot | 06:44 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: man... my head spins | 06:44 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, bios is useless, it allows me to turn off speestep, but that automatically leaves the cpu in the lowest state | 06:44 |
| riz0n | TestingTheTest: If I'm not mistaken you use iwconfig | 06:44 |
| raylu | There is no single "apt" program; apt is itself the package name containing the set of tools (and requiring the libraries) that support its functionality. A significant part of apt is a C++ library of functions (another package known as libapt) which are used by these related front-end programs for dealing with packages, such as apt-get and apt-cache. | 06:45 |
| saywatmang | hspaans, yea thats probly what it is, but i was assumng that was controlled by software | 06:45 |

| jbmigel | njk123|nowhere in sound settings i can set it up easy so my keyboard controls mic boost... you tried that/ | 06:55 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: says installation and removal of software failed... there has been a problem during the installation or removal of the following pieces of software... followed by a list of the affected programs | 06:55 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: that list would help :D | 06:55 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: along with the specific messages | 06:55 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: thats after i close the error about fixing broken packages | 06:55 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: so would doing things in smaller batches | 06:55 |

| Win2Ubuntu | whats weirder about this problem is that ive burned stuff before | 06:57 |
| Win2Ubuntu | and that it's just stopped working recently | 06:57 |
| centr0 | just rebooted ubuntu and trying to open firefox but its saying theres a process of firefox already running. did a ps aux|grep firefox but couldnt find the process. any ideas? | 06:57 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: by the way, how are you selecting so many packages anyway? i imagine it'd be painful doing it over and over | 06:57 |
| pvaldez09 | hey all i have a bit of an issue... 8.10 is not reading my bat | 06:57 |
| qr | raylu: that was very helpful, thanks. xpaint is just what I need. | 06:57 |
| raylu | qr: <3 google | 06:57 |
| raylu | pvaldez09: 8.10 doesn't like bats very much :P | 06:57 |
| Neurologic | lol, I have a ridiculous question | 06:58 |
| pvaldez09 | raylu: is there anything i can do ? | 06:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | "add/remove..." bottom of the applications menu, ubuntu hardy | 06:58 |
| Neurologic | How am I to get around the fact I have a space in a folder name, when using like cp or move? | 06:58 |
| raylu | pvaldez09: um... that was a joke. what's a bat? | 06:58 |
| Neurologic | mv* | 06:58 |
| pvaldez09 | raylu: battery | 06:58 |
| raylu | Neurologic: "foo bar" or foo\ bar | 06:58 |
| bastid_raZor | NeuralVictuals; mv file/ name | 06:58 |
| raylu | Neurologic: or tab completion | 06:58 |
| raylu | bastid_raZor: other way :P | 06:58 |
| bastid_raZor | NeuralVictuals; err.. \ | 06:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: and hit retry after i tried the broken package fixes | 06:59 |
| raylu | pvaldez09: oh. no idea :P | 06:59 |
| pvaldez09 | anyone know how i can fix 8.10 not wanting to read my battery | 06:59 |
| raylu | KRaZy_WaKa: right... but you said there were a lot of packages. how are you choosing them every time? | 06:59 |
| Neurologic | raylu, would doing cd ./<filename> work? | 06:59 |
| DHowett | I'm experiencing a rather massive delay sshing INTO an ubuntu (hardy) box on my local network. The only solutions I found on the web were for ssh delays FROM ubuntu. | 07:00 |
| raylu | Neurologic: ...? | 07:00 |
| bastid_raZor | Neurologic; no ./ tries to run a file | 07:00 |
| raylu | DHowett: what ssh client? | 07:00 |
| DHowett | raylu: openssh | 07:00 |
| raylu | bastid_raZor: not if you prepend cd | 07:00 |
| raylu | DHowett: ssh -v | 07:00 |
| fryguy | how can I start pulseaudio outside of gnome? My sound works in gnome, but when I use a different desktop environment sound doesn't work because pulseaudio or something related to it isn't running | 07:00 |
| raylu | DHowett: (or whatever the verbose option is; i forget) | 07:00 |
| njk123|nowhere | jbmigel: i dont have a control for it on the keyboard | 07:00 |
| njk123|nowhere | also there is no mic boost option in the sound settings | 07:01 |
| raylu | njk123|nowhere: messed with alsamixer yet? | 07:01 |
| DHowett | raylu: The long delay appears to be between SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT and the list of accepted authentication modes | 07:01 |
| bastid_raZor | raylu; true, again. | 07:01 |
| Neurologic | raylu, well see I'm confused because it wont even let me CD to that because it doesn't count the space, you know what I mean? | 07:01 |
| centr0 | just rebooted ubuntu and trying to open firefox but its saying theres a process of firefox already running. did a ps aux|grep firefox but couldnt find the process. any ideas? | 07:01 |
| qr | fryguy: you can start it from the command line. The command is pulseaudio :) (might want to read the man page to check what options you can give it. -D is handy) | 07:01 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: DHowett perhaps the machine is very busy... high latency. have you run a top on it? or perhaps vmstat? | 07:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: here was my exact course of action: went to applications menu > add/remove... selected all available applications from drop down menu... went through everything to check the apps i wanted for installation and it gave me the error Could not apply changes! fix broken packages first. did synaptic > edit > fix broken packages hit retry in add/remove, same error... did sudo apt-get install -f in terminal as well as sud | 07:01 |
| njk123|nowhere | raylu tried everything in alsamixer | 07:01 |
| fryguy | qr: that command is running | 07:02 |
| fryguy | qr: it's something else | 07:02 |
| DHowett | onetinsoldier: Yep, already verified. There's practically nothing running on it. | 07:02 |
| raylu | DHowett: i believe there's a way to edit your ssh client's handling of hosts to force it into an authentication mode | 07:02 |
| bastid_raZor | Neurologic; what is the folder name? | 07:02 |
| Neurologic | bastid_raZor, /home/neuro/Documents/Ubuntu Looks | 07:02 |
| jbmigel | njk123|nowhere if you open the speaker in the top right and edit prefernces... you can add mic boost to that control | 07:02 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: sorry, that wasn't meant for you | 07:02 |
| raylu | centr0: this is a long shot, but try pgrep firefox | 07:02 |
| bastid_raZor | Neurologic; cd ~/Documents/Ubuntu\ Looks/ | 07:02 |
| Neurologic | onetinsoldier, I gathered =) No problem, I'm used to it | 07:02 |
| raylu | Neurologic: yes... we've already given you 3 solutions to get there, though | 07:02 |
| onetinsoldier | DHowett: roger.. i have no idea then. i've never done much remote stuff | 07:03 |
| DHowett | onetinsoldier: ah, thanks anyway :) | 07:03 |
| qr | fryguy: well that's the pulseaudio daemon... | 07:03 |
| Scabdates | Why is my webcam that works fine on windows grainy and dark on Ubuntu? | 07:03 |
| Neurologic | raylu, didn't understand what you meant =P However, bastid_raZor's example made a lot of sense | 07:03 |
| raylu | DHowett: you're not using kerberos or anything, are you? how do you intend to authenticate anyway? | 07:03 |
| Neurologic | bastid_raZor, thanks! =) | 07:03 |
| raylu | !tab | Neurologic | 07:03 |
| ubottu | Neurologic: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:03 |
| fryguy | qr: right, refer to my original question. pulseaudio or something related to it isn't running, and i'm not sure what it is I need to start | 07:03 |
| DHowett | raylu: keyfile. Not using kerberos (disabled in sshd_config) | 07:03 |
| bastid_raZor | Neurologic; tab is your best friend when using command line | 07:04 |
| onetinsoldier | DasEi: hello... how's it going with the package cloning? | 07:04 |
| qr | fryguy: afaik there are know related programs that need to be run. Maybe you have a config problem? | 07:04 |
| fryguy | qr: like i said, it works when i am in gnome | 07:04 |
| Scabdates | lil heelp? | 07:04 |
| Win2Ubuntu | does Intrepid suck? should I go to something else? ive had nothing but grief with it? | 07:04 |
| Neurologic | raylu, bastid_raZor, oh! wow! O_O Thanks! | 07:04 |
| centr0 | raylu: thanks, but that didnt do it :( | 07:04 |
| njk123|nowhere | its the bug i say in forums | 07:04 |

| fryguy | DHowett: are you complaining about the pause in ssh logins on debian based systems? | 07:05 |
| yaris123456789_ | can someone help me with x264 & ffmpeg, everyone in those channel is dead for the past 4 hours | 07:05 |
| raylu | DHowett: i wonder what happens if you disable password-based authentication on the server | 07:05 |
| DHowett | fryguy: ... Wait, it's well-known? Yes, actually.. | 07:05 |
| fryguy | DHowett: turn off gssapi in your ~/.ssh/config | 07:05 |
| DHowett | raylu: I was just about to try that :) | 07:05 |
| DHowett | fryguy: Already off | 07:05 |
| DDR_ | Hello. Is there a specific sub-channel for sound problems? I have an unknown playback error. (Same with recording, but one thing at a time.) | 07:06 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | raylu: when i close "Could not apply changes! fix broken packages first." error, it brings up "installation and removal of software failed... there has been a problem during the installation or removal of the following pieces of software... followed by a list of the affected programs" error message with following buttons at bottom "retry" "add/remove more software" "close" this is where i would hit retry after doing syna | 07:06 |
| fryguy | DHowett: hold on, let me find my .ssh/config on a machine that i've already fixed this on | 07:06 |
| Scabdates | Why is my webcam that works fine on windows grainy and dark on Ubuntu? | 07:06 |
| DDR_ | I think that Ubuntu is not running real-time image enhancement on the webcam. | 07:06 |
| DHowett | raylu: Nope | 07:06 |
| DDR_ | I might be wrong, though... it's not an area of expertise for me. | 07:07 |
| Scabdates | DDR_: anyway to fix this? | 07:07 |
| Win2Ubuntu | anyone wiht any ideas why Intrepid seems to not want to read blank DVDs | 07:07 |
| DDR_ | I don't have a webcam for ubuntu, so I am not sure how to solve it. | 07:07 |
| Win2Ubuntu | DDR_ forget webcam. i tried | 07:07 |
| bastid_raZor | Win2Ubuntu; are you on a fresh install? | 07:07 |
| raylu | DHowett: you can also set the logging level on the sshd to debug | 07:07 |
| yaris123456789_ | what i dont understand is, i dl'ed and compiled today's snapshot of x264, now when i svn ffmpeg, and try to compile it, it says "ERROR: libx264 version must be >= 0.65." | 07:08 |
| Win2Ubuntu | no bastid_raZor | 07:08 |
| DDR_ | I just remember having the effect in windows, toggling the enhance effects on and off. | 07:08 |
| raylu | !sound | DDR_ | 07:08 |
| ubottu | DDR_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:08 |
| bastid_raZor | Win2Ubuntu; i was just wondering if you had installed the gstreamer codecs | 07:08 |
| Win2Ubuntu | bastid_razor: most probably, how do i check. the weird thing is that i USED to be able to burn blanks | 07:08 |
| DDR_ | Thanks, ubuttu. | 07:08 |
| DHowett | raylu: Ah.. i tried VERBOSE but couldn't find anything (or where it was going, for that matter) | 07:08 |
| saskia | haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 07:08 |

| \Kira | whats a good text editor that highlights certain things about programming languages? Im not really sure how to explain it. Im looking for a modern one, I think emacs is one, but I also think its pretty old. | 07:08 |
| DDR_ | Less and less often as the weeks roll by. | 07:09 |
| DHowett | fryguy: Also, /home/dustin/.ssh/config line 21: Unsupported option "GSSAPIAuthentication" | 07:09 |
| raylu | DHowett: /var/log/ssh..something | 07:09 |
| raylu | DDR_: ubottu is a bot :P | 07:09 |
| fryguy | DHowett: GSSAPIAuthentication no and PreferredAuthentications publickey,keyboard-interactive,password | 07:09 |
| fryguy | DHowett: i used that on every debian based system i run and it makes logins go faster than default | 07:10 |
| Win2Ubuntu | bastid_raZor: yup got em | 07:10 |
| DDR_ | Ah, did not know. | 07:10 |
| Win2Ubuntu | its so weird how it just would stop working | 07:10 |

| qr | \Kira: It sounds like you're looking for syntax hilighting? I believe gedit does that, and is pretty lightweight. You could also try kdevelop. (Although you really should use emacs :P) | 07:10 |
| jbmigel | Win2Ubuntu are you running a modified kernel? | 07:11 |
| Win2Ubuntu | no | 07:11 |
| DHowett | fryguy: Ah.. no GSSAPIAuthentication support here and the preferredauthentications addition didn't help. I'm not sure if the well-known problem covers sshing from a non-debian system to a debian system.. which is where I'm seeing this slowness.. instead of the other way around | 07:11 |
| Circs | I want to find out if the hp mini 1000 is compatible with ubuntu, where can I find this? I've tried to ubuntu wiki but I must be doing it wrong... | 07:11 |
| Win2Ubuntu | im not that clever | 07:11 |
| Win2Ubuntu | i dont know how to do those sorts of things | 07:11 |
| Win2Ubuntu | im just a basic user really who wants to do basic things...like burn a cd | 07:11 |
| DHowett | Circs: I imagine it is.. those netbooks are mostly all the same, and many come with linux on them already | 07:11 |
| fryguy | DHowett: it works both ways. I ssh back and forth between systems at find speeds | 07:11 |
| raylu | qr: gedit is lightweight? hah | 07:11 |
| === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ | ||
| jbmigel | Win2Ubuntu heh | 07:11 |
| \Kira | qr: syntax hilighting is what I wanted :) Why would you recommend emacs, out of curiosity? | 07:11 |
| DHowett | fryguy: hmm.. then meh.. thanks :) | 07:11 |
| raylu | \Kira: modern != good | 07:11 |
| qr | raylu: it is for a gui editor | 07:12 |
| raylu | qr: i'd recommend vim right now, but that might not be such a good idea | 07:12 |
| raylu | er | 07:12 |
| Win2Ubuntu | i love how stable and secure Ubuntu is but i hate the absolute drama you have to go through to get just even the most basic things working | 07:12 |
| bastid_raZor | \Kira; vim is a great cli editor pull is has a tutorial on how to use it | 07:12 |
| Circs | DHowett: I'd lie t now for sure, because I'm going to buy the aspire one if not. | 07:12 |
| raylu | \Kira: i'd recommend vim right now, but that might not be such a good idea | 07:12 |
| bastid_raZor | s/pull/plus | 07:12 |
| qr | \Kira: because it has 20some odd years of work put into it by people who are very serious about their text editor | 07:12 |
| jbmigel | Win2Ubuntu you dont get any errors in dmesg or anything when it tries to mount the blank? | 07:12 |
| raylu | qr: emacs/vim running in xterm is lighter :D | 07:12 |
| Win2Ubuntu | nope nothing just doesnt work | 07:12 |
| DHowett | Circs: The aspire one is a beautiful little machine, I must say. Ubuntu eee runs nicely on it, from what I've seen.. but I ended up crafting my own distro modification to throw on it. | 07:12 |
| qr | raylu: don't worry, I'm not an emacs zellot, I'm one of the rare people who use both | 07:12 |
| Win2Ubuntu | and when i try to burn in nautilus, it just goes, please insert a bland kvd | 07:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Win2Ubuntu; have you tried to burn in brasero? | 07:13 |
| Win2Ubuntu | yup, thats always been useless | 07:13 |
| \Kira | raylu, qr, bastid_raZor: I think ill go with kdevelop, since im running kde. Mabye ill try porting to vim or mabye even emacs once I get comfy with programming. Thanks for the recommendations | 07:13 |
| jbmigel | Win2Ubuntu maybe your media is bunk | 07:14 |
| Circs | DHowett: You sounds more capable than me. I really just want it to work without too much trouble. | 07:14 |
| Win2Ubuntu | no way | 07:14 |
| raylu | Win2Ubuntu: what is it that you need to burn? | 07:14 |
| Win2Ubuntu | tried it in my dual boot, works fine | 07:14 |
| Win2Ubuntu | tried other media, same | 07:14 |
| Win2Ubuntu | just a movie | 07:14 |
| raylu | \Kira: kdevelop is an ide, vim is a text editor | 07:14 |
| bastid_raZor | \Kira; you have vim regardless of kubuntu or ubuntu.. | 07:14 |
| DHowett | Circs: Ah.. In that case, I'd suggest one that comes with Linux.. It'll be a lot less of a headache in the long run :) | 07:14 |
| raylu | Win2Ubuntu: try dvdrecord; it's a cli tool | 07:14 |
| \Kira | raylu: ide? | 07:14 |
| christian | does anyone know if its possible to bind a keystroke to change your resolution (like giong to system -> preferences -> screen resolution) | 07:14 |
| raylu | \Kira: integrated development environ | 07:14 |
| onetinsoldier | Win2Ubuntu: try checking /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log might want to run tail on them when you're trying you dvd's. example... tail -f /var/log/messages | 07:14 |
| bastid_raZor | !vim | \Kira | 07:15 |
| ubottu | \Kira: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code | 07:15 |
| raylu | Circs: you want it to... "Just work"? | 07:15 |
| centr0 | anyone know a way to kill a process that doesnt show up is ps or pgrep? id search on it but firefox is the problem says its already running and i need to close it. :( | 07:15 |
| Win2Ubuntu | k thanks, i gotta run tho | 07:15 |
| bastid_raZor | centr0; have you tried killall firefox | 07:15 |
| Circs | raylu: Yeah, i'm kind of a whimp | 07:15 |
| \Kira | raylu, bastid_raZor: ah, I see. I would perfer graphical, so I think ill go with kate (if it has syntax hililighting | 07:15 |
| qr | centr0: it probably left a lock file somewhere if it's not in ps axu or top | 07:15 |
| raylu | bastid_raZor: that wouldn't do anything :P | 07:15 |
| qr | centr0: search around in /var | 07:15 |
| raylu | centr0: try moving .mozilla | 07:16 |
| raylu | qr: why would firefox leave a lock in /var? | 07:16 |
| christian | centr0, I would try "ps aux | grep firefox" | 07:16 |
| raylu | \Kira: it does | 07:16 |
| Hemebond | Is there any way to set the video-out as the primary display device? | 07:16 |
| qr | raylu: lots of things put lock files in var | 07:16 |
| \Kira | raylu: Thanks :) | 07:16 |
| Hemebond | If the onboard video is stuffed? | 07:16 |
| raylu | Circs: get a mac. linux doesn't "just work," there's no such thing. linux works for you | 07:16 |
| raylu | qr: er... don't users not have write access to /var? | 07:16 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: is the video-out PCI or what? | 07:17 |
| Circs | raylu: That's kind of rude. I'm willing to work a bit, but I can't write my own drivers just yet. | 07:17 |
| centr0 | thanks guys, raylu: moving .mozilla worked? can you explain why? | 07:17 |
| raylu | Circs: sorry; i just don't like the phrase "just work" :P | 07:17 |
| qr | raylu: my /var/lock is 777 and I don't think I would have changed that manually | 07:17 |
| raylu | centr0: no. but firefox is screwy | 07:17 |
| raylu | centr0: and in the last 2 days, it has solved some very very strange issues | 07:18 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: It's a laptop. | 07:18 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: erm, perhaps I am misunderstanding. When you say video-out you mean what? | 07:18 |
| raylu | qr: it...shouldn't be | 07:18 |
| centr0 | thanks. | 07:18 |
| raylu | ziroday: i think he means external monitor | 07:19 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: do you mean the laptop monitor is broken and you want to use an externel monitor? | 07:19 |
| Circs | raylu: No worries, my pride is intact, it's just I don't have the kernel tattooed on my chest. :) | 07:19 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: The VGA output port on the back. Basically the laptop screen is stuffed, and we are having trouble getting things to use the external monitor. Currently using Knoppix, but X fails. Downloading Ubuntu right now to try that. | 07:19 |
| sythen | morning all | 07:19 |
| raylu | Circs: of course not; you'd have to get a new tatoo every few months | 07:19 |
| Circs | raylu: Yah.... ow | 07:20 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: okay. well ubuntu should appear on both screens | 07:20 |
| raylu | Hemebond: xrandr | 07:20 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: Assuming X starts. | 07:20 |
| Circs | raylu: Do you where I can look to see if it works ok though? | 07:20 |
| qr | raylu: oh really? I've always thought /var/lock was The Place To Put Lock Files (TM), although it seems that only apache is using it on my machine, so I may be wrong. | 07:20 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: of course :), however you should get a terminal on both screens/monitors. | 07:20 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: Yeah, we have a terminal already. | 07:21 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: The user is not used to Linux or CLI though. | 07:21 |
| raylu | qr: apache starts as root | 07:21 |
| raylu | Circs: http://www.linlap.com/, amongst others | 07:21 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: okay, what video card do you have? | 07:21 |
| raylu | Circs: if in doubt, get a thinkpad :D | 07:21 |
| Hemebond | Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 in an HP Pavillion DV9000 | 07:22 |
| raylu | Hemebond: sounds like you're asking for the impossible | 07:22 |
| Hemebond | raylu: I think so. | 07:22 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Hemebond, i had a friend with a similar problem, laptop screen went out and he had an external hd monitor hooked up to it and ubuntu booted up and worked through the external monitor | 07:22 |
| Hemebond | raylu: I'm hoping Ubuntu has better support for the network though, so we can at least get data off it via another machine. | 07:23 |
| raylu | Hemebond: oh wait. X fails on knoppix... i thought the problem was that it was outputting to the lcd screen | 07:23 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: okay, so you have a nvidia card that you want to go the external monitor correct? | 07:23 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | and it is an HP laptop not sure of model though came with xp from OEM | 07:23 |
| raylu | Hemebond: if it tried to start, /var/log/Xorg.0.log should be helpful | 07:23 |
| Hemebond | raylu: X fails and the laptop screen is bright white. | 07:23 |
| Hemebond | raylu: Yeah, tried to get that but without a network connection to it, the user has to move the monitor between the laptop and the workstation because she can't putty to it. | 07:24 |
| Hemebond | raylu: She only has one monitor. | 07:24 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hemebond: he's currently running vista on it due to some issues with verizon vcast with rhapsody not running under linux and it works fine | 07:24 |
| Hemebond | KRaZy_WaKa: It has Windows XP on it, but we can't get into it because of the firewall. | 07:24 |
| raylu | Hemebond: hrm.. i've experienced that pain countless times | 07:24 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hemebond: well with windows issues i go with when in doubt reformat lol... if she has nothing to be backed up on the system that should do it | 07:26 |

| HackfestAZ480 | wowa there is a lot of people in here | 07:27 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: no ethernet connections? | 07:27 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hemebond have you tried networking it with another windows pc? or pull the hard drive and set it up as slave on another windows system then you could pull the files and save them to another hard drive, then reboot her win OS | 07:27 |
| HackfestAZ480 | everything is based on ethernet connections | 07:27 |
| HackfestAZ480 | there is 1 220 people in here. i can't belive that | 07:28 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: Yeah, it gives itself a 127.0 address, and the router doesn't see it at all. | 07:28 |
| onetinsoldier | HackfestAZ480: it get's up to nearly 1500 sometimes | 07:28 |

| Blip | Hey im having trouble in VMWare Workstation 6.5.1, im trying to run Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas, and well everything installs fine and i have DX9.0C but when i run the game the graphics are out of wack... ive also tried setting everything to low, it did not work. can any1 help me out ? | 07:29 |
| Hemebond | jbmigel: The display is stuffed, but I suspect the lack of network is lack of Linux support for the device. | 07:29 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hemebond: my friend had the external monitor work fine during install with xp but once it went to first run wizard the external monitor was inaccesible | 07:29 |
| cryptnix | Blip: good luck | 07:29 |
| cryptnix | lol | 07:29 |
| Blip | lol good luck ?... | 07:29 |
| ziroday | Hemebond: hmm? When you're connected to ethernet by a default ubuntu install it should assign you an IP address unless you have some odd router settings | 07:29 |
| Blip | ive tried everything.. | 07:29 |
| HackfestAZ480 | anyone using frame realay at home ? LMao | 07:30 |
| Blip | lol my luck has run out. | 07:30 |

| cryptnix | to play games | 07:30 |
| cryptnix | wine perhaps but | 07:30 |
| Hemebond | KRaZy_WaKa: Yeah, same thing here. Displays during boot, then goes blank. And fn+key cycling doesn't work. | 07:30 |

| ziroday | Blip: GTA:SA will not work in vmware currently. | 07:31 |
| Hemebond | ziroday: Right now it's in Knoppix. Still downloading Ubuntu. And yes, it should be able to get an IP. | 07:31 |
| Blip | but i need sa-mp ( san andreas multiplayer) so i thought id try VMWare pro. | 07:31 |

| HackfestAZ480 | some day | 07:31 |
| jbmigel | KRaZy_WaKa you need network for that | 07:31 |
| Blip | it works Ziroday, but the graphics are out of wack.. | 07:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hemebond i suppose that may keep you with the firewall issue | 07:31 |
| ziroday | Blip: right, as virtualization cannot do 3D graphics, and it will not work no matter what you try | 07:31 |

| ziroday | mkquist: tried on a folder or file? | 07:33 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hemebond: when windows flubs i've always pulled the hard drive and put it in another win PC and did some major digging to get my personal files off it then reinstalled the HDD in the original computer and reinstall windows... never had a problem with that method although i've always done desktop PCs laptop could prove to be a pain | 07:33 |
| mkquist | ziroday: yep, its missing there too... | 07:34 |
| Hemebond | KRaZy_WaKa: Yeah. If it was a desktop it wouldn't be such a problem. | 07:34 |

| raylu | Circs: my experience with hps on both windows and linux has not been good | 07:39 |

| jbmigel | sara_ you got me... you should probably start by itemizing all the stuff in your cupboards | 07:40 |

| Psi-Jack | onetinsoldier: Ummm.. Why? This is a Gnome question. | 07:43 |

| silv3r_m00n | jbmigel: i tried all options and settings | 07:45 |
| silv3r_m00n | but cudnt get this feature to work | 07:45 |
| Psi-Jack | System Sounds and events do not work on Gnome now, because I no longer use ALSA or PulseAudio. I use OSS. | 07:45 |
| mervin | im new | 07:45 |
| bexamous | silv3r_m00n: it might be old kate odesn't have it, kde4 is defintley working fine for me | 07:45 |
| silv3r_m00n | the thing is that pressing tabs manually to preserve identation is wasting time | 07:45 |
| Psi-Jack | Gnome uses SOMETHING to determine how to play these system sounds, and it's underlying on that API I am talking about. | 07:45 |
| mervin | to just trying linux | 07:46 |
| Psi-Jack | Ubuntu made a script, gdmplay for GDM to have a non-api-wrapped player which uses aplay. | 07:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Psi-Jack: i think you'd better look back at who i was addressing. he is still asking about kde and kate | 07:46 |
| Psi-Jack | onetinsoldier: Okay, but I'm not interested in KDE at all right now. | 07:46 |
| * onetinsoldier hits Psi-Jack with a large trout | 07:46 | |

| raylu | silv3r_m00n: autoindent should be in kate options... click tools in the menu bar | 07:47 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | Circs: also if you download and burn the ubuntu ISO you can run it as a live OS which doesnt affect your existing OS or files | 07:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | jbmigel: bexamous: hi it worked this time .... from tools> identation > normal ........ | 07:48 |
| Baz_1 | raylu: where do the icons that show up come from | 07:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | but didnt work when changed from configure kate | 07:48 |
| Baz_1 | raylu: if i simply download a prog for example | 07:48 |
| jbmigel | silv3r_m00n nice well at least you found it | 07:48 |
| SuperCrackMunkey | lol, because it seems rather busy in here :P Here goes: The installer tells me I don't have a / partition even when I have it set. The first error it gives it just a bunch of question marks. | 07:48 |
| raylu | Baz_1: various places. some pacakages have associated graphics | 07:48 |
| bexamous | maybe applied only to new files | 07:49 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Circs: if the live OS version works and you like it you can double-click the install icon on the desktop to install ubuntu, one of ubuntu's best features i think | 07:49 |
| * scifiguy using intrepid in my toyota, Oh what a feeling! | 07:49 | |
| raylu | SuperCrackMunkey: is / marked as being formatted? | 07:49 |
| Baz_1 | raylu: packages can talk to nautilus without being launched to tell it where the icon is? | 07:49 |
| SuperCrackMunkey | Yes, and I have tried formatting before partitioning aswell | 07:49 |
| raylu | Baz_1: er...what? | 07:49 |
| raylu | Baz_1: packages aren't launched | 07:49 |
| bexamous | if you cahnge it in "settings -> configure kate" it will apply to all new files, if you change it from "Tools -> Indention" it applys it only to current selected file | 07:49 |

| Baz_1 | onetinsoldier: to be specific the launcher has an icon but not the executable | 08:03 |
| onetinsoldier | Baz_1: if i download a file onto my Desktop, say a .tar.gz, it has a tarball icon | 08:03 |
| Baz_1 | onetinsoldier: thats a good point, that is because the OS knows about it | 08:04 |

| dio444 | Hi. So I'm trying to install Intrepid desktop-alternate on a machine without a cdrom. Using this basic technique: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows I got it to boot fine from an extra partition set up specifically for this. My problem is that when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't see the hdd. Now, all partitioning I need is already done, so I'd like to just skip that step and move on, but that does | 08:32 |
| Leewang | lol tobad he couldnt drive his slay without snow for gas | 08:33 |
| Hemebond | raylu: Ubuntu doesn't even get as far as Knoppix. | 08:33 |
| Knoobie | Oh, dio, I had the same question yesterday, if yoiu click on manual, find the ext3, and select it, go through the options it offers you, then it should work. | 08:33 |
| dio444 | there is no "manual" choice on the alternate desktop install | 08:34 |
| Knoobie | Oh, omk | 08:34 |
| dio444 | it's all text mode manual by default | 08:34 |
| Leewang | dio444: what desktop choice has just text? | 08:35 |
| dio444 | but the manual partitioner normally displays the drives, but it doesn't, and I don't know why. I | 08:35 |
| tonyyarusso | dio444: What do you mean "there is no manual choice on the alternate desktop install"? | 08:36 |
| dio444 | Leewang: ? That was not a useful question as far as I can see. It's the ALTERNATE desktop install cd | 08:36 |
| dio444 | I have to use it for 2 reasons, but mainly due to a lack of ram on the target machine | 08:37 |
| dio444 | the other reason is that the machine has no cdrom | 08:37 |
| Leewang | dio444: o ok no i was basically just wondering instead of gnome or kde if i could get a textbox no gui to use | 08:37 |
| koshar1 | Leewang you want minimal or server editions? | 08:38 |
| dio444 | and the alternate iso is the only way that the "boot the iso from hdd" technique described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows works | 08:38 |
| Leewang | koshar1: o ok thank you | 08:38 |
| dio444 | I did it fine with the same ISO in a virtual box. | 08:38 |

| rww | mk123: (that's an answer to its brokenness, not a guide) | 08:56 |
| M1n0rThr34t95 | old technology It been around long enoughto fid out how to crack it] | 08:56 |
| narcarsiss | wheree are system icons stored in ubuntu | 08:56 |
| Leewang | mk123: i dont know because usally by the time a software company puts out a version of software its all ready circulated the hacker fourms and people have allready made hacks/cracks for it and are just waiting its release | 08:56 |
| kanchana | I installed the pcmcia_cs debian package to recognise the ethernet card (Xircom 10/100+Modem 56) | 08:57 |
| rww | M1n0rThr34t95: it's not that it's old, it's that it's flawed. There are plenty of still-secure encryption schemes that have been out for a lot longer. | 08:57 |
| chris4585 | rww, I'm not sure but I just tried that rssowl, I think its a portable app, I just ran it from its extracted folder | 08:57 |
| mk123 | can someone guide me to connect to my WEP from shell | 08:57 |
| kanchana | tonyyarusso, I dont know, quite old one, only 300 MHz | 08:57 |
| rww | chris4585: sounds about right. It's a java app, right? | 08:57 |
| chris4585 | I think, dunno | 08:57 |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana: They usually say somewhere on the case - on mine it's on the very bottom right corner of the display piece. | 08:58 |
| Firefishe | mk123: I'm afraid I am not skilled in that area. | 08:58 |
| Knoobie | Sorry, does someone mind talking me through installing .zip file please? | 08:58 |
| mk123 | can someone here give me network help? | 08:58 |
| chris4585 | Knoobie, right click, extract, then just run the rssowl file, (double click it) | 08:58 |
| narcarsiss | mk123: what you need mate | 08:58 |
| mk123 | narcarsiss: im trying to connect to my wep network from CLI | 08:58 |
| kanchana | the funny thing is, that if I do ping 192.168.1.1 it receives packets (by 64), but when I open firefox it says Address not found | 08:58 |
| chris4585 | Knoobie, that howto was a little outdated it appears | 08:59 |
| rww | mk123: okay. For WEP, take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12045 | 08:59 |
| elanning | Hi, I currently have a dual boot going on and I want to remove the windows partition and add the space to my linux "home" partition, I installed GParted, but cant find a way to add the freed space to my home partition, it will only create a new separate one. | 08:59 |
| mk123 | it seems i've tried everything and i have no idea what im doing anymore | 08:59 |
| kanchana | tonyyarusso, there is one number: 600E, maybe that one? | 08:59 |
| rww | mk123: basically, you edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a couple of lines for your wireless interface, then do sudo ifup interface_name_goes_here | 08:59 |
| chris4585 | elanning, thats because you can't resize a mounted partition, you will have to use the gparted livecd | 08:59 |
| mk123 | rww: tried that | 09:00 |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana: likely, yeah. I'll poke around a little, and meanwhile, could you please !pastebin the output of 'lspci' and 'sudo lshw'? | 09:00 |
| kanchana | I tried to unplug the network cable whether the ping will still work, and it still work! it is very strange... what can I do? | 09:00 |
| rww | mk123: and it's not working? do you get error output, or is it just hanging too? | 09:00 |
| chris4585 | elanning, or at least thats what I think, | 09:00 |
| MitsuviKz | Can someone help me with a Ventrilo issue through Wine? | 09:00 |
| elanning | chris4585: is that a free download somewhere? | 09:00 |
| Knoobie | Ok, sorry, but can you also run through installing JRE or JDK please? | 09:00 |
| mk123 | rww: its dhcp anyway why do i have to give it essid? | 09:00 |
| chris4585 | elanning, it should be, but I think I might be wrong about that | 09:00 |
| rww | mk123: essid is the broadcast name of the network, not a hostname | 09:00 |
| mk123 | rww: commands pass but for some reason i can't connect - scan works though | 09:00 |
| kanchana | tonyarusso, ok, I'll try to do it (now I use different computer, which is on Windows) | 09:00 |
| chris4585 | elanning, I might be wrong about having to use the gparted livecd | 09:00 |
| mk123 | rww: i have the ath5k kernel driver - maybe im missing some encryption dependancies in the kernel? | 09:01 |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana: Also, just to clarify, you have the ethernet card working now, but need help with the modem, correct? | 09:01 |
| Knoobie | Can someone also talk me through installing a JDK or JDE please? | 09:01 |
| rww | mk123: I'm not using an atheros card, so I don't know the specifics, but I don't think you need extra stuff for WEP, just for WPA/WPA2. I didn't need to manually-configure my WEP when I had it, though (networkmanager handled it), so I could be wrong. | 09:02 |
| chris4585 | Knoobie, I think you have to have java runtime installed? | 09:02 |
| Knoobie | Well it's telling me I don't. O.O | 09:03 |
| Firefishe | Knoobie: There are a couple of different ways. You can load a JRE from synaptic, or you can just download the appropriate latest and greatest directly from sun. | 09:04 |
| Knoobie | Ok, thanks. =] | 09:04 |
| M1n0rThr34t95 | has anyone else had problems with Wine and running apps as far as if you try to move them the move to the end of the screen where you can not see then any more | 09:04 |
| MitsuviKz | Can someone help me with Ventrilo over Wine? | 09:05 |
| Enselic | MitsuviKz: What problem do you have? | 09:05 |
| chris4585 | M1n0rThr34t95, I'm not sure about that, but mIRC use to vanish a lot | 09:05 |
| Firefishe | Knoobie: If you only want to run applets, I'd stick to the JRE. If you want to develop, then you'll need the JDK you desire | 09:05 |
| MitsuviKz | A problem with the GSM 6.10 codec...I get this error: | 09:06 |
| MitsuviKz | Failed to get encoder for specified Codec. | 09:06 |

| Knoobie | Ok. =] Thanks. | 09:06 |
| mk123 | rww: im going to get madwifi, screw ath6k | 09:06 |
| M1n0rThr34t95 | yeah it happens with winamp | 09:06 |
| mk123 | or ath5k rather | 09:06 |
| kanchana__ | tonyyarusso, no, I cannot connect to internet any way | 09:06 |
| hermes | there is a new jre out with 64 bit mozilla/firefox support | 09:06 |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana__: Which way are you trying to use though? (ie, what kind of internet connection do you have?) | 09:07 |
| kanchana__ | tonyyarusso, I have a modem ethernet card, it says it is sending some packets, but in fact it is unable to receive anything. Anyway, when I do ping to 192.168.1.1 it receives data. I cannot establish internet connection | 09:07 |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana__: um, modem or ethernet card: pick one. | 09:08 |
| kanchana__ | tonyyarusso, it is on a network. It is a wire connection, I connect a wire to modem and another end to the modem of my laptop. In the modem there are another three wires. With all connected computers I should be able to work as a network, but in the current situation I cant... :-) | 09:08 |
| * Panarchy says Hi | 09:09 | |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana__: Three wires? Not two or four?? | 09:09 |
| tonyyarusso | kanchana__: let me phrase the connection question this way: dial-up, or "broadband"? | 09:10 |
| Knoobie | What would the package be called, I can only find JDE, but not JRE. | 09:10 |
| Blinkiz | I need to find out what is taking up all my space in my home partition. It's a ubuntu server installation so I don't have gui. What tool will give me a nice view of used hard disk space? | 09:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Blinkiz: du will tell you some, although I wouldn't describe it as pretty. | 09:11 |
| Panarchy | Okay, so here are the things left for me to do before releasing my distribution. 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). | 09:11 |

| Knoobie | What is the JRE Package Called in the Synaptic Package Manager? | 09:11 |
| M1n0rThr34t95 | Ubuntu has taken Linux farther than any other distro but I still find little thing that make me go hmm back to Win XP. Like running some Videos and streaming Vids. and dispearring apps using wine | 09:11 |
| kanchana__ | tonyyarusso, the pasted lspci and lshw is on http://pastebin.com/m7346a9bf | 09:11 |

| === five is now known as emo|five | ||
| Blinkiz | M1n0rThr34t95, Yeah, I know what you meaning. Ubuntu ain't as user friendly as winxp or vista. Anyway I think so. To watch and stream video, I use vlc from videolan.org. Its a great video program. Dispearring apps from Wine I don't know about. Maybe newer version of wine? | 09:14 |

Its getting to be annoying because I need to get some files off of it and I'm sick of it demounting halfway through. Whats the problem with it? | 09:16 |
| kanchana__ | tonyyarusso, it seems I have an ethernet card, but one of my friends told me, that it is a modem (I have a slot for telephone line etc. in it) | 09:16 |

| Bunson | theres a full tilt ubuntu app? | 09:18 |
| Tofflos | Hello. I've cloned my harddrive to a new bigger drive using dd. I'd like to resize my / partition to take advantage of the new space. Unfortunately there is a swap partition sitting inbetween the / and the unallocated space which prevents that using gparted. Should I disable swap alltogether? Should I attempt to move the swap partition by moving it to the end of the unallocated space? Should I start using a swap file instead of a swap parti | 09:18 |

| rww | Bunson: yes | 09:20 |
| Knoobie | Yeah, I think so. | 09:20 |
| sky_ | you can play it from your ntfs partition | 09:20 |

| M1n0rThr34t95 | of course I have duel boot so I run it(ful tilt) from wine of my Win Xp part... | 09:20 |

| Panarchy | Some help please | 09:39 |
| tiyowan | systolic: This sounds like a bug on Hardy Heron. Did you use to have sound before? | 09:39 |
| Knoobie | Um, sorry Enselic, I don't understand, it says I don't have an application for this file type. | 09:39 |
| systolic | Yeah | 09:39 |
| systolic | Sound was fine before | 09:40 |
| gfather | hello guys | 09:40 |
| gfather | anyone has strongswan or openswan knowledge ? | 09:40 |
| theatrus | Panarchy, looks like your theme got set to a different one | 09:40 |
| Enselic | Knoobie: ? | 09:40 |
| Knoobie | rpm.bin files, still don't know how to open them. | 09:41 |
| Panarchy | theatrus: Hmm... I'll try and change my theme, see where that gets me | 09:41 |
| rww | Knoobie: where did you get it from? I'll d/l a copy and take a look. | 09:41 |
| Knoobie | I'll just find it again. | 09:42 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 09:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | how to restart apache ? | 09:43 |
| Knoobie | http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com:80 | 09:43 |
| theatrus | Knoobie, whats wrong with the sun-java6-jre package in Ubuntu? | 09:43 |
| Panarchy | wait, lol, don't worry, restarted, and everythings fine! | 09:43 |
| Knoobie | It won't open, I don't know how to open rpm.bin files. | 09:43 |
| ardchoille | wow, spe is quite nice | 09:44 |
| theatrus | well, I'm saying there is no need to install java manually | 09:44 |
| tiyowan | systolic: Could you try booting into an older version of your kernel please? | 09:44 |
| Panarchy | Hi! I've almost finished creating my linux distribution. All that's left for me to do (things that I don't know how to do) are the following: 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). Please tell me how to do the preceding 4 things. Thanks in advance | 09:44 |
| fde | Knoobie: you don't use rpm's on an Ubuntu machine... what are you installing? | 09:44 |
| Knoobie | Java. | 09:44 |
| systolic | How do I do that? | 09:44 |
| theatrus | Knoobie, install the Ubuntu packages for java | 09:44 |
| rww | Knoobie: 1) how come you're not using the package for this that's in the Ubuntu repositories? 2) Download "Linux (self-extracting file)", not the RPM one. The RPM is for RedHat-based systems. | 09:44 |
| fde | Knoobie: do yourself a favor and do the following: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:44 |
| Knoobie | 1) I don't know how. 2) I did. | 09:45 |
| Leewang | bye all crash time | 09:45 |
| fde | Knoobie: no you didn't, you got the rpm file | 09:45 |
| hasibullah | hi there every body | 09:45 |
| rww | Knoobie: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 09:46 |
| fde | Knoobie: Anyway, don't worry about that, this is Linux, we don't wonder around the web aimlessly looking for software... we have apt do it for us | 09:46 |
| Slart | silv3r_m00n: sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart should work | 09:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | Slart: yah i just did it | 09:46 |
| hasibullah | when i am downloading something in u8.04 meanwhile the sound can't support correctly | 09:46 |
| fde | Knoobie: rww means sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin ... but what I said installs that and flash and various codecs you'll want to play your music and movies | 09:47 |
| Knoobie | Well it's installing fine with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre, thanks for the help! =D | 09:48 |
| _2 | fde when did ubuntu-restricted-extras appear in the repos ? | 09:48 |
| evee1611 | hello, I've just have seen, that I can use tabs in my Terminal, how do I create a Tab? | 09:48 |
| rraj_be | is theer any good audio converter in ubuntu | 09:48 |
| fde | _2: umm, around breezy? | 09:48 |
| Knoobie | It's going to take ages, but it's installing none-the-less. | 09:48 |
| theatrus | rraj_be, you can try audacity, does a whole lot of audio stuff | 09:48 |
| fde | Knoobie: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras please | 09:49 |
| rraj_be | wan2 convert wma to mp3 | 09:49 |
| _2 | fde breezy was 6.10 ? | 09:49 |
| rww | evee1611: if you're talking about the ones in gnome-terminal, File -> Open Tab, or Ctrl-Shift-T | 09:49 |
| fde | _2: more like 5.04 | 09:49 |
| theatrus | evee1611, File, Open Tab | 09:49 |
| rraj_be | ok theatrus ty | 09:49 |
| rww | !breezy | 09:49 |

| evee1611 | thanks | 09:49 |
| _2 | fde interesting i don't have that package in dapper 6.6 | 09:49 |
| Knoobie | !Hardy Heron | 09:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Hardy Heron | 09:49 |
| fde | _2: isn't dapper EOL? | 09:49 |
| rww | !hardy | Knoobie | 09:49 |
| ubottu | Knoobie: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 09:49 |
| _2 | fde no it's LTS | 09:50 |
| Knoobie | Thanks. =] | 09:50 |
| rww | !dapper | 09:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. | 09:50 |
| fde | _2: oh, so there is no way to convince you to upgrade to at least hardy? Ubuntu has made a lot of strides since back then | 09:50 |
| _2 | nope | 09:50 |
| Panarchy | Hi! I've almost finished creating my linux distribution. All that's left for me to do (things that I don't know how to do) are the following: 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). Please tell me how to do the preceding 4 things. Thanks in advance | 09:51 |
| * theatrus has a couple of servers running dapper still | 09:51 | |
| ObsidianX | anybody here ever seen the "no protocol specified" xorg error? | 09:51 |
| _2 | fde i was only wondering when the package appeared seeing that i don't have it. i'm not having but the one issue, as i posted earlier can't find message bus but no one answered | 09:52 |
| tiyowan | systolic: Reboot your system. You should be able to select an older kernel from GRUB if you have one. | 09:52 |
| _2 | epiphany: Unable to determine the address of the message bus | 09:52 |
| fde | Panarchy: many addons are already packaged for firefox... look in the repo... it'll use vesa already if the actual card isn't found ... look at gdmsetup... I think that's all? | 09:52 |
| Knoobie | I wish Linux would allow .exe's, it would make things easier lol. | 09:52 |
| rww | _2: it appeared in feisty, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ubuntu-restricted-extras&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all§ion=all | 09:53 |
| tiyowan | Knoobie: Security risk. | 09:53 |
| _2 | rww ah ok. that makes sense, ty. | 09:53 |
| ab-k2 | I have a problem:My Programming is nothing | 09:53 |
| Knoobie | Shame, all this installing through Synaptic is really annoying. | 09:53 |
| Seveas | Knoobie, apt-get install wine :) | 09:53 |
| fde | _2: I'm just saying, dapper is OLD... you might as well be using Windows 98 compared to where Linux is 3 years later | 09:53 |
| ab-k2 | and can not edit it | 09:53 |
| _2 | fde i think i might prefer to be | 09:53 |
| Panarchy | fde: I have installed addons (FireCat and some others), and I want them to 'appear' to the live session user | 09:53 |
| Letter_Z | So yeah, any advice about my dismounting problem? | 09:54 |
| Knoobie | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 09:54 |

| Moniker127 | hey, technical question here: for radeon 4800 series card, is there a way to manually set the fan to a specific speed? | 09:54 |
| Seveas | Knoobie, sudo apt-get install wine :) | 09:54 |
| tiyowan | Knoobie: Type "sudo apt-get install wine" | 09:54 |
| fde | Knoobie: It isn't easier at all, you're just not used to it... and .deb's are basically like .msi's ... Windows just makes things difficult for its users | 09:54 |
| Panarchy | fde? Some more help please | 09:55 |
| Knoobie | Tiyowan, I do and I get the same message. | 09:55 |
| Letter_Z | Everytime I plug my iPod in, it mounts fine, but every time I try and do a transfer, adding music, ripping music, moving files, Ubuntu just randomly demounts my iPod halfway through which messes everything up and its a problem with Ubuntu because my iPod works fine on other OS and computers. Is there any way to fix it and why does it happen? | 09:55 |
| fde | Panarchy: Unfortunately, that's not packaged... do you know how to package software? | 09:55 |
| rww | Knoobie: do you have another package manager open somewhere? another apt-get somewhere, or Synaptic? | 09:55 |
| Knoobie | I have something installing Java, so yeah. | 09:55 |
| tiyowan | Knoobie: Close all other terminal windows and GUI synaptic, etc. | 09:55 |
| ab-k2 | help me,please | 09:55 |
| fde | Panarchy: There are over a thousand people here, please be patient :/ | 09:56 |
| Knoobie | But it's halfway through installing, is it ok to just close it? | 09:56 |
| _2 | fde i mean, i don't really like the dirrection it's moving, so why try to keep up? i still use primarily the console and don't want any machine to do anything that i don't specificly tell it to. | 09:56 |
| rww | Knoobie: that'd be it. You can only have one package manager modifying the package database (installing/removing/etc.) at once | 09:56 |
| fde | Knoobie: then you'll have to wait until that's done before installing anything else... next time, just install everything at once :P | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | Knoobie, Let it finish | 09:56 |
| Knoobie | Ok. | 09:56 |
| ab-k2 | Now I can do nothing | 09:56 |
| tiyowan | Knoobie: Let the poor manager finish its job. :) | 09:56 |
| Knoobie | Sorry, I really know nothing about Ubuntu. | 09:57 |
| === Blip is now known as mkv | ||
| Knoobie | I always thought it acted the same as windows, just looked different. | 09:57 |
| Jordan_U | ab-k2, What is wrong exactly? | 09:57 |
| tiyowan | Knoobie: There's no need to apologize. :) We all learn. | 09:57 |
| Panarchy | fde: No, sorry, I don't know how to package software | 09:57 |
| === mkv is now known as Turkey | ||
| fde | _2: The direction its going? its open source... just start out with a server installer and don't install what you don't want? | 09:57 |
| ab-k2 | my programming can not edit | 09:57 |
| madduck | how can I configure my 8.10 install so that it gets an IP over wlan before a local user needs to log in? | 09:57 |
| Turkey | So hows everyone today. | 09:57 |
| Moniker127 | hey- anyone willing to help me out with something? | 09:58 |
| Panarchy | It's since I'm creating my own distribution, and I want for that on the LiveCD, that the live session user has the same addons as my currently logged in account | 09:58 |
| _2 | fde and hardy would be an improvement over dapper in what way if i do what you said ??? | 09:58 |
| rww | !anyone | Moniker127 | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Moniker127: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 09:58 |
| fde | Panarchy: you can push a default ~/.mozilla/firefox I suppose | 09:58 |
| _2 | fde see my point ? | 09:58 |
| Turkey | Your making your own distro Panarchy ? "Good Luck" :D | 09:58 |
| Panarchy | Turkey: Thanks | 09:58 |
| theatrus | ab-k2 can you rephrase that? | 09:58 |
| Jordan_U | madduck, System > Preferences > Network Configuration set the connection to automatically connect and be a system setting | 09:59 |
| tiyowan | Panarchy: Is it going to be debian based? | 09:59 |
| fde | _2: name it... performance, hardware support, etc etc | 09:59 |

| Panarchy | tiyowan: Will be releasing it later today, and yes, based on 8.10 | 09:59 |
| fde | Panarchy: depends what you're using to create the distro :/ | 09:59 |
| wickedpuppy | does anyone know speech-to-text program for ubuntu? | 09:59 |
| Moniker127 | Because my next one was a statement. I'm trying to install the propitiatory graphics drivers for my radeon card, and i get a message "Systemerror: failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" I havnt finished updating yet. do i need to wait for it? | 09:59 |
| rww | Moniker127: yes | 10:00 |
| Flannel | Moniker127: Yeah, you can only do one package-management thing at a time | 10:00 |
| Moniker127 | oh | 10:00 |
| Panarchy | fde: Remastersys at the moment, since I never got reconstructor to work for me... | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | ab-k2, What is your first language? There are other channels for other languages | 10:00 |
| wickedpuppy | does anyone know speech-to-text program for ubuntu? sorry to repeat.. | 10:01 |
| ab-k2 | but they don't know | 10:01 |
| fde | Panarchy: Not sure with either | 10:02 |
| Moniker127 | Where can I tell whether i'm using 32 bit or 64 bit? | 10:02 |
| rww | Moniker127: uname -a | 10:02 |
| Moniker127 | thanks | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | ab-k2, Can they help you write your question more clearly? I don't understand what "My programming is nothing" means | 10:02 |
| _2 | fde heh, all my hardware is fully supported under dapper, or as fully as it is under any later version; to get one gfx card supported i would have to revert to something with a 2.4 kernel. as per performance. are you saying that the 2.6.18 kernel will outperforme the 2.6.15 ? or was that a refferance to upstart -vs- sysV ? | 10:02 |
| rww | Moniker127: if it says "x86_64" near the end you're using 64-bit | 10:02 |
| Panarchy | fde: Well in that case, can you tell me how to create a link to /opt/myprogram so that when I type in 'myprogram' into the terminal, it will appear anywhere | 10:03 |
| madduck | Jordan_U: nope, that does not solve it. Mind you, this is a WPA2 wifi, so it probably cannot auto-connect unless I can tell network-menager to obtain the passphrase from elsewhere | 10:04 |
| wickedpuppy | Panarchy, either do a soft link , ln -s ... or put /opt/myprogram into your shell path | 10:04 |
| Knoobie | 69% installed. | 10:04 |
| Moniker127 | i wonder why other OSs dont have package managers | 10:04 |
| Panarchy | wickedpuppy: ln -s? | 10:04 |
| Panarchy | Okay | 10:04 |
| wickedpuppy | Moniker127, which OS .. win? | 10:04 |
| madduck | Moniker127: they do. | 10:04 |
| Jordan_U | madduck, It should be able to do it even with a passphrase, did you set it as a system setting? | 10:04 |
| _2 | Panarchy that's a path issue, to use app_name the app has to be in the users path or the path must be supplied. move it to /usr/local/bin or add the path to it's presant location | 10:04 |
| madduck | Jordan_U: yes. | 10:04 |
| Moniker127 | well, only counts if its built in, really | 10:05 |
| Knoobie | Just out Curiosity, how do I install Tremulous? | 10:05 |
| tiyowan | Madduck: I'm able to connect to WPA2 networks fine. | 10:05 |
| wickedpuppy | Moniker127, again ... which OS? | 10:05 |
| [^martin] | hi all, I have a wireless adapter that works fine with a wep hex key. I would really like the adapter to connect at boot time without login and without asking for the password. I've been googling but can't find a solution that works. Any ideas? | 10:05 |
| Moniker127 | well, the other two major ones, osx, and windows | 10:05 |
| Jordan_U | madduck, Does that same connection work via network-manager once you are logged in? Does it re-ask you for your password? | 10:05 |
| Panarchy | _2: Can I use /usr/shar/bin? | 10:05 |
| madduck | Jordan_U: yes and no | 10:06 |
| _2 | Panarchy i.e. export PATH="$PATH:/my/new/apps/are/here" | 10:06 |
| madduck | tiyowan: before login? | 10:06 |
| tiyowan | madduck: Now that I haven't tried. | 10:06 |
| _2 | Panarchy you can but you will have to add that to your path, usr/local/bin is already in the default path | 10:06 |
| wickedpuppy | Moniker127, package manager? you mean creating exe? visual studio?? | 10:06 |
| Panarchy | ln -s '/opt/Metasploit 3.2' /usr/share/bin | 10:06 |
| wickedpuppy | or such as synaptic | 10:06 |
| Panarchy | Would that work? | 10:06 |
| _2 | Panarchy to view your path echo $PATH | 10:06 |
| dea | jad | 10:06 |
| Moniker127 | maybe i'm thinking a package manager is something its not | 10:07 |
| jdk1976 | i don't find a better channel, so i posit this question here, which pertains to batch files in windows. My client is a windows user, whom I now have open in vncsc. there are some changes i have made which require a restart, I would like to make a batch file which will re-open the application, but a further command is needed to activate the application once the exe is started. The user must click the button labeled "Internet Support" | 10:07 |

| madduck | r0land: i am sure someone does. | 10:08 |
| _2 | Panarchy not reccomended but it will work. reccomended is /usr/local/bin/ | 10:08 |

| r0land | hmm k :) | 10:08 |
| Panarchy | _2: But would that apear there for my live session user? | 10:08 |
| _2 | Panarchy that's what the /usr/local/ is for | 10:08 |

| Panarchy | _2: Okay, so can you tell me if this is right? ln -s '/opt/Metasploit 3.2/msfweb' /usr/local | 10:09 |
| _2 | things that are "local to that machine" you can read all about it on the web search linux filesystem structure | 10:09 |
| jim_p | brrrrrradical, do you use compiz? | 10:09 |
| rww | jdk1976: You're asking a Windows question, not an Ubuntu question. Therefore, take said question somewhere else. | 10:10 |
| madduck | r0land: don't ask me. I suggest you prepare a document with all the details and all the configuration you put in place and all the errors and diagnostics you see. | 10:10 |
| Panarchy | jdk1976: Private chat me, I'll help you out | 10:10 |
| r0land | madduck already have it | 10:10 |
| Moniker127 | jdk you can use the start command to start an application via batch file | 10:10 |
| five | could try changing theme from compiz to metacity | 10:10 |
| jdk1976 | thans pan | 10:10 |
| _2 | Panarchy nope. like i said /usr/local/bin and you'll provbably need ot add the name i.e. 3.2/msfweb' /usr/local | 10:10 |
| Moniker127 | start iexplore.exe for example | 10:10 |
| Jordan_U | brrrrrradical, It's because that application is hung and has not yet drawn to the screen, it won't happen if you use compiz ( but the root of the problem, the application being slow / hung will still be there ) | 10:11 |
| Panarchy | If anyone need help with windows, come on my channel: #panarchy | 10:11 |
| Jordan_U | Panarchy, You might want to help out in ##windows instead | 10:11 |

| Moniker127 | how does the ubuntu org make money? | 10:12 |
| Panarchy | sudo ln -s '/opt/Metasploit 3.2/msfweb' /usr/local/bin/msfweb | 10:12 |

| jim_p | brrrrrradical, do you use the correct driver for your gpu? | 10:12 |
| jim_p | Moniker127, canonical provides all the money for ubuntu and the shipping costs and the like | 10:13 |
| brrrrrradical | jim_p: i hope/think so... why would that cause it to remember screenshots? | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | Moniker127, They sell support, but mostly it's because they are funded be a rich guy name Mark Shuttleworth ( the guy who paid to be a space tourist ) | 10:13 |
| _2 | Moniker127 is it supposed to make money ??? | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | brrrrrradical, No idea | 10:13 |
| brrrrrradical | mk | 10:13 |
| Moniker127 | well, i mean, even charaties have operating costs | 10:13 |
| jim_p | brrrrrradical, what gpu are you on? | 10:14 |
| brrrrrradical | it just seems like Ubuntu is storing screenies... and i dont want that | 10:14 |
| * |ns|nR8 still gets no audio in flash videos | 10:14 | |

| tensai_ | I just installed Ubuntu 8.10. Is there a way to use an older kernel without reinstalling from scratch? Where would I read about it? | 10:14 |

| jim_p | Jordan_U, its canOnical :P | 10:15 |
| * Panarchy thanks _2 for all the help given, it WORKED :P | 10:15 | |
| Sofistio | good morning to all | 10:15 |
| jim_p | tensai_, what kernel do you wish to use and why? | 10:15 |
| Panarchy | morn'n | 10:15 |
| Slart | tensai_: just install the older kernel from the repos and set it to default in grub | 10:15 |
| Slart | tensai_: of course.. that limits you to the kernels that is available from the repos | 10:16 |
| jim_p | tensai_, i think you can do it with some apt command | 10:16 |
| Techie | i have a fried sitting next to me that is unable to get his microphone to work | 10:16 |
| jim_p | Slart, i think apt + a hardy repo will allow him to draw a kernel from hardy but only that | 10:16 |
| Sofistio | a little question, how i can start an applet at startup? in particular the applet is gnome remote desktop tnx | 10:16 |
| r0land | does any one have experience with setting up WCCP with squid/cisco! | 10:16 |
| Techie | friend* | 10:17 |
| jim_p | |ns|nR8, have you tried gstreamer-properties? | 10:17 |
| |ns|nR8 | nuh | 10:17 |
| toddoon | hi | 10:17 |
| |ns|nR8 | is that a command ? | 10:17 |
| jim_p | Sofistio, System > Preferences > sessions | 10:17 |
| tensai_ | From what I am able to ascertain with my very limited knowledge thus far (24hr old newb) my Intel 845G driver is not functioning properly in the most current kernel, though posts online seem to indicate that it worked fine in 'Hardy' and 'Feisty' etc. These are previous kernels yes? | 10:17 |
| jim_p | |ns|nR8, yea. set it to use alsa... or remove pulseaudio completely | 10:17 |
| _2 | Techie i thought you were deriding his drug abuse "fried" | 10:17 |
| |ns|nR8 | ok im in there now jim_p, ill let ya klnow how it goes, thanks | 10:18 |
| toddoon | i have some problems with my sounds (i have no sound) can someone could help me to debug this? | 10:18 |
| Sofistio | jim_p: tnx for support | 10:18 |
| Slart | jim_p: yes.. it might work.. the hardy repo wouldn't use any other packages that are available from the intrepid repo (with a higher version number) if I've understood apt correctly | 10:18 |
| jim_p | tensai_, these are previous VERSIONS of the os that had earlier version of XORG | 10:18 |
| Sofistio | to you and to everyone meery christams and happy new year | 10:18 |
| jim_p | tensai_, the kernel is irrelevant to this problem | 10:18 |
| Techie | _2: not quite, maybe later on tonight | 10:18 |
| jim_p | Sofistio, lol to you too | 10:19 |
| Slart | tensai_: I think that might be a combination of kernel+X+drivers.. you might end up having to run hardy altogether | 10:19 |
| monksarana | tonyyarusso, hello, so I finally installed ndiswrapper. Nothing changed, it's still the same | 10:19 |
| monksarana | tonyyarusso, do you think that my problem has a solution? | 10:19 |
| tensai_ | So download a new .iso and start again? | 10:19 |
| jim_p | monksarana, well you need to make ndiswrapper imitate that windows thing you want | 10:20 |
| jim_p | tensai_, hell no. please be more specific about the problem | 10:20 |
| Slart | tensai_: or try to find out what the problem is and see if there might be a workaround available | 10:20 |
| Neurologic | All of a sudden I'm having problems with Firefox. It seems when it's active it's constantly running the processor at like...70% | 10:20 |
| monksarana | jim_p heh, but I dont know what I want from windows thing. I want to have internet connection. | 10:20 |
| Neurologic | It takes forever just to switch tabs | 10:20 |
| Slart | Neurologic: does it get better if you restart firefox? | 10:21 |
| jim_p | monksarana, tonyyarusso : i guess its a wireless problem? | 10:21 |
| Panarchy | Hi! I've almost finished creating my linux distribution. All that's left for me to do (things that I don't know how to do) are the following: 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). Please tell me how to do the preceding 4 things. Thanks in advance | 10:21 |
| jim_p | brb people. breakfast time :P | 10:21 |
| Slart | Neurologic: it might be a firefox problem or a plugin problem.. normall I would blame flash | 10:21 |
| monksarana | jim_p the computer says it is connected, but in fact it doesnt receive any packets. It's just sending kilobytes. Moreover, ping gives a beautiful response. Then what to do? | 10:21 |
| dio444 | Hi. I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd. It works, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. | 10:21 |
| Neurologic | Slart, I don't think so...I've restarted twice now. It happened when I tried to install a new addon, I removed the new addon and it's still stuck at this processor run | 10:22 |
| monksarana | jim_p, it is wired connection, but tonyyarusso told me to install ndiswrapper, so I did it... | 10:22 |
| Slart | Panarchy: creating your own linux distros is a bit offtopic in this channel.. perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic instead? | 10:22 |
| jim_p | monksarana, remove network manager and install wicd or something similar. the connection used to work right? | 10:22 |
| tensai_ | Somebody walked me through editing my xorg.conf file yesterday to use the vesa driver, so that I could complete the install. It was hanging when the desktop started up because my on board 845G intel chipset doesn't seem to work properly. So we used the vesa as a temporary fix and now I'm trying to find a real driver that will give me any kind of decent resolution. | 10:22 |
| Neurologic | Slart, never had this problem with flash before...Should I restart my computer to see if that helps at all? | 10:22 |
| Slart | Neurologic: are you sure firefox is really restarting between runs? pkill firefox is one way you can kill off old processes hanging around | 10:22 |
| monksarana | jim_p, how to remove network manager? and what is it wicd? | 10:22 |
| Panarchy | How do I make my firefox addons the same as my current firefox addons for when I create my LiveCD using remastersys? (Ubuntu 8.10) | 10:22 |
| jim_p | monksarana, will you give me a sec to have breakfast and i promise to help you out ok? | 10:22 |
| Neurologic | Slart, hmm...good point. | 10:23 |
| tensai_ | I made that sound like the chipset is broken somehow - not the case. Ubuntu 8.10 just doesn't like the intel 845g apparently. | 10:23 |
| monksarana | jim_p, if you do it, you are master, because two weeks I solve this and nobody could help me sufficiently... | 10:23 |
| Slart | Neurologic: I think some plugins can start processes of their own too.. I know flash runs through some kind of wrapper that sometimes stays around even after you killed firefix | 10:23 |
| monksarana | jim_p, so after breakfast... | 10:23 |
| _2 | tensai_ you tried i810 ? | 10:24 |
| Neurologic | Slart, I pkill'd it, and am looking through the processes | 10:24 |
| tensai_ | I really don't know how to get it. >.< I downloaded something from Intel's site but it wouldn't compile. | 10:25 |
| |ns|nR8 | jim_p, tried every setting, still no sound, also went into preferences, sound and played with all that. Sound works with everything else, was working fine with 8.04 aswell | 10:25 |
| |ns|nR8 | sux being a newbie | 10:26 |
| Neurologic | Slart, Much better! Thanks! | 10:26 |
| tensai_ | Not when there are people who actually help :) | 10:26 |
| Panarchy | How do I make my firefox addons the same as my current firefox addons for when I create my LiveCD using remastersys? (Ubuntu 8.10) | 10:26 |
| _2 | tensai_ i810 support is in xorg already, just asking if you tried that driver in place of vesa, not trying to cause problems just asking. | 10:26 |
| tensai_ | ?? I really don't know how to do that, like I said I'm very new :) | 10:27 |
| tensai_ | Didn't mean to give you the impression you were causing problems | 10:27 |
| tensai_ | Do I just replace 'vesa' with 'i810' in my xorg.conf file? | 10:28 |
| charafa | je vien d'installer ubuntu et je ne sais pas comment chercher des page web merci de votre aide | 10:29 |
| _2 | tensai_ the same way you edited your xorg.conf yesterday you can edit it today and change the driver "vesa" to driver "i810" and see if it works or no. it was probably a command something like sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:29 |
| tensai_ | yups ty | 10:29 |

| Panarchy | How do I give my currently logged in user all the privileges of root (I know the root pass)? | 10:34 |
| Starnestommy | Panarchy: use sudo | 10:34 |
| Slart | blueskiesokie: hmm.. no, you're right.. but perhaps you could use rsync instead.. that has an "ignore if already exists" option | 10:34 |
| zap_ | try: yes n | cp -i * dir/ | 10:35 |
| Slart | Panarchy: sudo is usually used in ubuntu | 10:35 |
| blueskiesokie | ok .. will look into that | 10:35 |
| Slart | !sudo | Panarchy | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Panarchy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 10:35 |
| Slart | !root | Panarchy | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Panarchy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:35 |
| yanz | How do I install a package? | 10:35 |
| Techie | i have a friend sitting next to me that is unable to get his microphone to work | 10:35 |

| yanz | Like I wanna download aMsn but I dunno how to install | 10:36 |
| Slart | yanz: use synaptic, or apt. sudo apt-get install <packagename> will install a package from command line | 10:36 |
| zap_ | blueskiesokie: yes n | cp -i * dir/ | 10:36 |
| yanz | Thanks Slart | 10:36 |
| Slart | Panarchy: that's not recommended in ubuntu | 10:36 |
| s3ml3r | hi guys | 10:36 |

| dio444 | starnestommy, slart: Panarchy wants to break ubuntu security and make the user actually BE root, because he's trying to get you to make a new derivative live cd distro. | 10:37 |
| s3ml3r | any good plugin sites? | 10:37 |

| Panarchy | Slart: Yes, but how do I do that? | 10:38 |
| _2 | blueskiesokie could also use cp -l if it's on the same fs | 10:38 |
| zap_ | "yes n" will send an infinite number of "n" to the command . | 10:38 |
| Slart | Panarchy: it's not something I will discuss here.. once again.. try #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:38 |
| zap_ | this should tell cp -i to not overwrite anything. | 10:38 |
| Panarchy | dio444: So, how do I do that? | 10:38 |
| _2 | blueskiesokie not n|cp but yes n|cp | 10:38 |

| harlemdavvey | i need some help with a mass storage device | 10:47 |
| runlevelten | ah, so I couldn't just hand things over to bash after x starts to ensure things work for users? | 10:47 |

| harlemdavvey | pleeeeeeeease | 10:47 |
| Slart | runlevelten: I'm not sure if bash can do everything dash does.. any special reason you want to replace dash? | 10:48 |
| runlevelten | my thinking was that if they were nicely compatible, then the only negative upshot would be an impreceptible speed difference if they restarted stuff, etc | 10:48 |
| _2 | tensai_ a man after my own heart | 10:48 |
| harlemdavvey | guys please i need some help seriously | 10:48 |
| Slart | runlevelten: dash is used just because it's a lot lighter than bash.. so replacing dash with bash will probably slow your computer down | 10:48 |
| runlevelten | Slart: yes, I was rather hoping I could hand over to bash after init had started the machines | 10:49 |
| runlevelten | and it's more than one machine | 10:49 |

| rmn | n2diy, but that just makes it easy to do su, not sudo? | 10:59 |
| kanchana | hello, I cannot connect to the internet | 11:00 |
| Moniker127 | aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor. | 11:00 |
| Moniker127 | what does this mean? | 11:00 |
| n2diy | rmn, Hmmm? | 11:00 |
| harlemdavvey | rmn, i tried to set the kernel up by terminal to mount the volume, but there's nothing to do | 11:00 |
| harlemdavvey | :( | 11:00 |
| kanchana | it receives Kbs but doesnt send anything, I have IBM Thinkpad laptop with Xircom ethernet card | 11:00 |
| rmn | n2diy, passwd - change root password. but how does that fix $user not in sudoers? | 11:00 |
| Panarchy | Hi! I've almost finished creating my linux distribution. All that's left for me to do (things that I don't know how to do) are the following: 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). Please tell me how to do the preceding 4 things. Thanks in advance | 11:01 |
| tensai_ | _2 Can I pm you the error I get trying to install intel's driver? | 11:01 |
| kanchana | It says that it is already connected but Firefox and everything else doesnt work | 11:01 |
| rmn | harlemdavvey, so mount /device /mnt/mydisk fails? | 11:01 |
| harlemdavvey | yes rmn | 11:01 |
| n2diy | rmn, It doesn't but fixing sudo comes first. | 11:01 |
| kanchana | also when I ping, it gives beautiful responce - 64 packets in every attempt... this is very strange... is there any way out? | 11:01 |
| rmn | harlemdavvey, with what error | 11:01 |
| harlemdavvey | there is not an error | 11:01 |
| rmn | harlemdavvey, tried as root? | 11:02 |
| harlemdavvey | it simply remains unrecognised | 11:02 |
| kanchana | it is wired network into a router modem, I really have no idea what to do... please, can you help me? | 11:02 |
| harlemdavvey | yes, i tried as root | 11:02 |
| rmn | harlemdavvey, and tried on another OS? | 11:02 |
| harlemdavvey | yes | 11:02 |
| marco | Hi. I have a tv card and the cable is connected to s-video. is there any program for tv? | 11:02 |
| harlemdavvey | it works on win | 11:02 |
| harlemdavvey | oh wait a minute | 11:02 |
| tensai_ | I need help installing a driver DRI package. Can I send my error to somebody pm? | 11:02 |
| Moniker127 | anyone here use a radeon card? | 11:03 |
| Slart | marco: there's plenty.. search for tv tuner or something like that in synaptic | 11:03 |
| harlemdavvey | you talked about mounting the device as root, right rmn? | 11:03 |
| n2diy | harlemdavvey, have you setup your DNS serrvers? | 11:03 |
| Slart | tensai_: use pastebin to share the error message | 11:03 |
| marco | slart thanks | 11:03 |
| harlemdavvey | yes n2diy | 11:03 |
| harlemdavvey | what's the problem? | 11:03 |
| Panarchy | What's the command to save and exit visudo? | 11:04 |
| rmn | n2diy, i don't quite see how that fixes it. the only indication i have that sudo is broken is that no user is in sudoers file | 11:04 |
| rmn | sudo per se is presumably live and well | 11:04 |
| kanchana | also the funny thing is, that it gives the ping even when I plug of the wire of the network | 11:05 |
| kanchana | I have really no idea what to do, I already installed pcmcia_cs driver for the ethernet card, also wicd and ndiswrapper, and still nothing changed | 11:06 |
| kanchana | please, I am desperately sad... :/ is there any help? | 11:06 |
| rmn | n2diy, was that dns-message directed at kanchana ? | 11:06 |
| kanchana | n2diy & rmn nevertheless - I have set up the dns servers well | 11:07 |

| HHH | Èñ¿ì | 11:09 |
| rockhound | hi everyone .... since the upgrade to 8.10, I have wierd keyboard outages ... meaning, alot of keys do work, but for example the arrows do not | 11:09 |
| magnetron | !mp3 | yanz | 11:09 |
| runlevelten | dekkong: k3b is probably the best burning app on desktop linux | 11:09 |
| ubottu | yanz: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 11:09 |
| dekkong | runlevelten: ok thx | 11:10 |
| runlevelten | although is k3b broken in ubuntu? | 11:10 |
| rockhound | I know that xorg is using HAL now and the xorg.0.log shows the keyboard being added correctly | 11:10 |
| runlevelten | check it out, anyway | 11:10 |
| yanz | ubuntu-restricted-extras <- So is that illegal? | 11:10 |
| rockhound | any ideas? | 11:10 |
| magnetron | yanz→ in some countries, it's dubious. it's legal in Sweden, for an instance | 11:10 |
| dio444 | Hi. I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd. It works, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. | 11:10 |
| runlevelten | yanz: it's up to you to check on that for your country/circumstances, etc | 11:10 |
| Relaed | how to use two different fonts for alphabet and CJK characters ? | 11:11 |
| Relaed | in xterm | 11:11 |
| yanz | Ok. I don't think it would be illegal in australia though/ | 11:11 |
| Unknown0BC | Greetings. | 11:12 |
| dekkong | why cant I burn mp3 files with k3b? | 11:12 |
| tensai_ | I'm having trouble compiling my video driver. It's a DRI package. Will somebody look at this log file? http://pastebin.com/m6fd70f0f | 11:12 |
| rockhound | dekkong: have you installed the k3b mp3 plugin? | 11:13 |
| dekkong | rockhound: I dont think so | 11:13 |
| dekkong | rockhound: I only installed the k3b | 11:13 |
| rockhound | dekkong: look at medibuntu.org | 11:14 |
| Unknown0BC | I can play DVD's as long as they are home-made. As soon as I try to play a DVD which is an original my system refuses. I can play the same DVD in Windo_ze XP. But if I try to copy it in windows I always get a problem. Seems because of some kind of encryption related to copy right protection. Is it normal for an Ubuntu system to have problems playing one DVD and the next not ? | 11:14 |
| dekkong | rockhound: where do I get the mp3 plugin? | 11:14 |
| yanz | Thanks for your help ;D | 11:14 |
| tensai_ | Can somebody help me get my intel video driver DRI package to compile? | 11:15 |
| n2diy | Unknown0BC, you hit the nail on the head, copywrite protection, we can't help you break that. | 11:15 |
| runlevelten | Unknown0BC: you may be having trouble with css encryption, which is something movie studios have used to make them awkward to watch | 11:16 |
| runlevelten | if you wish, you can install a package to watch them despite this, called libdvdcss | 11:16 |
| jablo | dio444: Try to remove your windows swap file before yo start the ubuntu installation. | 11:16 |
| mungustas | can I install .deb package to my user folder? I am not in the sudoers list | 11:16 |
| runlevelten | of course, you should ensure this is legally acceptable for your country and circumstances before you do so. | 11:17 |
| dio444 | jablo: there is no windows at all. It's got another linux distro on it. | 11:17 |
| Unknown0BC | n2diy:Well I don't really want to make copies. I just want to play it on my Ubuntu system. But it seems my Ubunto system will not even PLAY DVD's with some kind of copyright protection/encryption on them. | 11:17 |
| runlevelten | Unknown0BC: answered above. | 11:17 |
| dio444 | jablo: the reason for the convoluted install technique is a lack of cdrom, and a lack of any other removable media | 11:17 |
| leafw | I have a problem I don't understand: thinkpad T60p with ATI FireGL V5250. fglrx is installed and not blacklisted, and setup as the driver in xorg.conf. But fglrx is not listed in lsmod! And glrxinfo says "Mesa, Indirect". But glxgears run at 400 FPS! I don't get it: is fglrx running or not? lsmod indicates that it isn't ... since ist's not loaded. | 11:17 |
| leafw | and then. sudo modprobe fglrx says: "FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx" | 11:17 |
| looonger | is there some software for linux capable of previewing partially downloaded avi files? | 11:17 |
| leafw | but /var/log/Xorg.0.log says it's fine! I really, really, don't understand what is going on. | 11:18 |
| runlevelten | looonger: mplayer | 11:18 |
| n2diy | Unknown0BC, roger that. GL, it wasn't worth the hassle for me to figure it out. | 11:18 |
| runlevelten | copy the partially downloaded file somewhere and play it with mplayer, will often be fine | 11:18 |
| runlevelten | @ looonger | 11:18 |
| looonger | runlevelten: mplayer isn't | 11:18 |
| jablo | dio444: What are you trying to achieve? | 11:18 |
| Unknown0BC | n2diy : what is "GL" ? | 11:18 |
| n2diy | Unknown0BC, Good luck. | 11:19 |
| runlevelten | you may be missing codecs, or you may be unlucky with the way the file is constructed | 11:19 |
| Unknown0BC | runlevelten: Can you play encrypted DVD's ( if thats what I should call them ) on your Ubuntu ? Does this mean I cant play any DVD's from the store on my Ubuntu system or is there something I should install with regards to css ? | 11:19 |
| runlevelten | n2diy: it's not really much hassle, I've been watching dvds for years on linux quite happily with kaffeine, the time spent setting the machines up was small. | 11:20 |
| dio444 | jablo: just get it installed on the "thin client" type machine. | 11:20 |
| Unknown0BC | I did play DVD's on one of my previous SuSE setups. | 11:20 |
| runlevelten | Unknown0BC: yes, I can, but because I installed css decryption stuff :) | 11:20 |
| Unknown0BC | mmm | 11:20 |
| runlevelten | Unknown0BC: you should generally speaking install css, win32 codecs and mplayer, realplayer, xine, and vlc if you're keen on video | 11:21 |
| mungustas | can I install .deb package to my user folder? I am not in the sudoers list | 11:21 |
| runlevelten | that's what I do, so I'm not left out in the cold when video of whatever codec arrives | 11:21 |
| runlevelten | :) | 11:21 |
| n2diy | runlevelten, fine business, my system is hardware challenged, so it wasn't worth the bother for me. | 11:21 |
| runlevelten | but for dvd playback, you should look for the uncrippled xine version, and css decryption | 11:22 |
| Unknown0BC | runlevelten: I have all that installed but I'm not sure about css, I have codecs but not sure if they are win32. | 11:22 |
| runlevelten | basically, meidbuntu ;) | 11:22 |
| runlevelten | *medibuntu even | 11:22 |
| runlevelten | !medibuntu | 11:22 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 11:22 |
| runlevelten | Unknown0BC: look there ^ :) | 11:22 |
| Unknown0BC | runlevelten: As I say I can play all sorts of media, even DVD formats but just this encryption prob. | 11:22 |
| Unknown0BC | runlevelten: thanks. | 11:23 |
| runlevelten | Unknown0BC: aye, blame silly IP maniacs for putting us out, heh | 11:23 |
| dio444 | jablo: at this point, I'm thinking it really is some sort of bug in the installer. It's booting great, using that technique I linked to already. It just fails during the partitioning step of the installer to see the hdd. Annoyingly enough, it's already partitioned and ready to go, it's just that the installer doesn't see it to choose it as the install location | 11:23 |
| runlevelten | like you probably are, I am playing properly purchased media - and if I wasn't, css wouldn't be a problem because it would be ripped! | 11:23 |
| runlevelten | punishment for the paying customer, eh? | 11:24 |
| runlevelten | I work on another distro to ubuntu, and let me tell you, most distros would be more than happy to enable it by default if not for legal :)illiness | 11:25 |

| Feddozz | ok thanks all it obviously works, I didn't put the space bye!! | 11:57 |
| xat_ | :P | 11:57 |
| dio444 | dos accepts cd\ too, for the same reason, I'd guess | 11:58 |

| Slart | madduck: not sure if samba does that.. but I would use rsync and have two synchronized copies | 12:03 |

| zephyr | hi everybody | 12:04 |
| Slart | madduck: mm.. perhaps there's an easy gui for it.. or you could setup a script of some kind | 12:04 |

| madduck | georgeaf: you cannot. | 12:23 |
| madduck | (i think) | 12:23 |
| madduck | or rather, you should not, though dpkg-repack might be tempting. it gets dangerous. | 12:23 |

| georgeaf | but isn't that the place when i already downloaded packages ? | 12:26 |
| georgeaf | i want to get the packages which are originally present on the cd | 12:26 |
| sztomi | OMG. It was sooo simple. I only had to change the default media from US letter to A4. :P. And FYI it works with "Foomatic ljet4" driver, and doesn't with the ghostscript one. | 12:28 |
| ardchoille | how do you re-open a page in firefox that you previous typed in the url for? This doesn't seem to work in ff like it used to | 12:28 |
| dio444 | georgeaf: the desktop install cd doesn't really have packages on it. If you had the alternate install cd it might be a different story. What you want is not worth the trouble learning what you'd need to know to make it work. You'd basically have to repackage the packages to get them from your cd. Way more work than a re-d/l | 12:28 |

| nikki_ | (I program, email etc. on Linux and go into Windows to play games for the night) | 12:58 |
| jim_p | nikki_, nvidia has one minor flaw when it comes to drivers in general. every one year or so, a series of cards falls to the legacy category! | 12:58 |
| jim_p | nikki_, this year the 5xxx series fell in there | 12:58 |
| jim_p | nikki_, i do the same roughly | 12:59 |
| nikki_ | Exactly, which got me. I have an FX 5600. That's old though, so I think nVidia is justified. | 12:59 |

| ackbahr | adaptr: Over the internet | 13:51 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: So what do you think of the answer I got? | 13:51 |
| adaptr | ackbahr: then ssh tunneling is the better option | 13:51 |
| adaptr | enzotib: no, you don't need "only an SSH server" - the remote side has to have X installed | 13:52 |
| enzotib | ackbahr, is your host in the hosts.allow of the server, and not in the hosts.deny? | 13:52 |
| ackbahr | adaptr: And running? | 13:52 |
| adaptr | ackbahr: not necessarily running, no, sinc the running part is the display, which is remote | 13:52 |
| adaptr | ackbahr: but you do need all X libraries installed | 13:53 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: I didn't understand a single word of what you just wrote.... | 13:53 |
| ackbahr | adaptr: I'll try it nonetheless.... :) | 13:53 |
| enzotib | ackbahr, on an ssh server there are two files, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny that specify which client can access the server | 13:53 |
| ackbahr | adaptr: Without anymore success! :) | 13:54 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: So I should check if my current client's IP is in the "hosts.allow" list? | 13:54 |
| elvisfuentes | a friend say that there is a project named ubuntu from scratch. I had been looking for on internet And I cannot find anything. what do you know about it? | 13:55 |
| enzotib | ackbahr, read man hosts.allow and hosts.deny | 13:55 |

| Staticwave_Ace | hello all, I'm having a bug problem similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/255839 , network-manager won't save my "system-setting", however I get no error, it just doesn't work | 14:05 |
| bjb1959 | I want to un-install the 180.XX beta nvidia driver and go back to 177.XX driver. any ideas on how to uninstall the beta driver? | 14:06 |
| jim_p | Staticwave_Ace, replace network manager at once then | 14:06 |
| jim_p | bjb1959, how did you install it? | 14:06 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: Well, bad news it's actually not working, I was actually not ssh-ing but was running local apps.... :( | 14:07 |
| bjb1959 | using the nvidia .run file from the nvidia site at the command shell with gdm stopped etc | 14:07 |
| Stalker72 | Are Nvidia drivers better than ATI drivers in Linux (for gaming, etc.)? | 14:07 |
| ps | hi all, when im using elisa screen goes black! im running compiz on an intel gma x3100, any ideas why this could be? how to solve it? | 14:07 |
| Staticwave_Ace | Stalker72: that's a non-sensical question | 14:07 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, they are better by leaps and bounds | 14:07 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: thx | 14:07 |
| enzotib | ackbahr, how can it be? writing in the wrong window? | 14:08 |

| Stalker72 | jim_p: I'm buying a new comp, and I'm wondering if I'm buying Nvidia 260 or ATI 4870. I currently have the Nvidia 9800 GX2. | 14:08 |
| wene_ | nobody knows the answer of this simple question ? ( how to assign a home folder to www-data user ? ) | 14:08 |
| nik0nian2 | I'd always go nvidia, but that's really just personal preference | 14:08 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, i would keep the money and use the 9800 | 14:08 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: No, I had mistyped the ssh command, so I was still on the local computer (my mistake) | 14:09 |
| Guest79551 | Hi folks, just wondering if any of you know a decently priced bluetooth headphone that works with 8.10 | 14:09 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: I'm selling the whole computer | 14:09 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: So I can't ;) | 14:09 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, then its nvidia | 14:09 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: Ok, thx. It's more expensive thoug. | 14:09 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: *though | 14:09 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, for how much ? :P | 14:09 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: How much the 260 costs? | 14:10 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, well you can find a cheaper nvidia that will work for linux just fine. unless you dual boot with win of course | 14:10 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, the entire system | 14:10 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: So any other idea? | 14:10 |
| teseo | hi all members | 14:11 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: About $1,500 | 14:11 |
| jim_p | hi teseo | 14:11 |
| jim_p | Stalker72, wow | 14:11 |
| Stalker72 | jim_p: The currency is high though | 14:11 |
| bjb1959 | jim_p any ideas on uninstalling the beta driver? I used the run file from the nvidia site | 14:11 |
| dio444 | Hi. I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd. It works, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. Maybe | 14:11 |
| jim_p | bjb1959, i think it comes with some uninstal parameter | 14:12 |
| bjb1959 | ok, I'll google that and see if I can find anything. | 14:12 |
| RizR | chaps. got a nvidia gf 5200 card and dual head (twinview/ubuntu8.10/compiz/gnome). when I run things like nexuiz or openarena it splits in two monitors.how to force it to run only one monitor properly? | 14:12 |
| enzotib | ackbahr, so the error wrong auth appears when you launch the app, after having logged in with ssh? | 14:12 |
| jim_p | dio444, cant you use a live cd or cfdisk to partition the drive so as to be ready? | 14:12 |
| odin | to go back to windows | 14:13 |
| jim_p | RizR, its somewhere in nvidia settings i think | 14:13 |
| dio444 | no, it has no cd. and it's IS already pasrtitioned | 14:13 |
| === odin is now known as Guest66842 | ||
| dio444 | the installer just won't see it even though fdisk can from busybox | 14:13 |
| jim_p | dio444, did you format the partitions as well? | 14:13 |
| dio444 | yes | 14:13 |
| Guest66842 | HOW DO I MAKE NEED OR TURN OR SOMEHING TO WIPE A HARD DRIVE USING UBUNTU | 14:13 |
| RizR | jim_p: what sort of option am I looking for there? force single monitor etc or something else? | 14:13 |
| Tisch | I need to disable swap and tried swapoff -a but this didnt work, it says it cannot find the file/folder. What can I do? | 14:14 |
| jim_p | Guest66842, dd it with zeroes | 14:14 |
| dio444 | at the "preparing partitions" step, it shows no hdds to choose to install to, and refuses to continue the installer | 14:14 |
| jim_p | RizR, extended desktop or something | 14:14 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: Yes | 14:14 |

| ubottu | Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 14:19 |

| wene_ | ortsvorsteher: thank you but i dont want to go to the home folder, i want to change it | 14:22 |
| BWM | Sorry... nothin can be done. Ubuntu is very anti-DRM, with good reason | 14:22 |

| Tisch | I need to disable swap and tried swapoff -a but this didnt work, it says it cannot find the file/folder. What can I do? | 14:39 |
| rbs-tito | DaveTarmac: wine --version | 14:39 |
| n8tuser | jajo_-> and what is the issue ? | 14:39 |
| stefreak | i have some trouble with the softmodem of a dell notebook... "Conexant HDA D330 MDC" | 14:39 |
| Ward1983 | aremay, looks fairrrly nice | 14:39 |
| The_Joe_ | I have a relatively old GPU and for some reason I can't go above 800x600 resolution - this is horrible | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jajo_ Make sure you didnt switch cables or knock the other lose.. | 14:39 |
| DaveTarmac | 1.0.1 - is that the latest? | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !modem | 14:40 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto | 14:40 |
| aremay | i just worder is it compatible with intrepid | 14:40 |
| mib_8vdsko | just FYI, im following this guide (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimalold) with the 7.10 (gutsu gibbon) minimal cd | 14:40 |
| mdsmith2 | I have xubuntu-desktop on the cd that I didn't install in the first place, but when I ask apt to install it, it wants to download it, can I make apt get it from the cd? | 14:40 |
| aremay | because, what i've found only for hardy | 14:40 |
| rbs-tito | DaveTarmac: Latest stable, yes, but there are dev releases too | 14:40 |
| VioletsPie | hi | 14:40 |
| I_Am | What is a good program to convert wmv to avi in linux? | 14:40 |
| ps | is feisty still supported? | 14:40 |
| jajo_ | n8tuser: in such hw configuration grub stops with an error | 14:40 |
| rbs-tito | DaveTarmac: 1.1.11 is the very latest, but isnt stable | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pm > gizmo | 14:40 |
| ubottu | gizmo, please see my private message | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !feisty | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. | 14:41 |
| n8tuser | mdsmith2-> possibly, modify the /etc/apt/sources.list to have an entry for your cdrom | 14:41 |
| ps | gracias Jack_Sparrow | 14:41 |
| gizmo | Jack_Sparrow, how you do your ip? | 14:41 |
| DaveTarmac | rbs-tito: rats. I'm trying to get Wrath of the Lich King working, but on the EULA the accept stays greyed out when I get to the bottom of it | 14:41 |
| ortsvorsteher | !eol | 14:41 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ps por nada | 14:41 |
| mdsmith2 | n8tuser: it does, its there by default right? (the original install cd)? | 14:41 |
| n8tuser | jajo_-> make sure your bios settings are correct | 14:41 |
| DaveTarmac | I read somewhere it could be a wine issue - hence my need to check version | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gizmo To find my online ip I use one of the online sites like grc.com | 14:42 |
| n8tuser | mdsmith2-> yeah if you have not removed it from the original | 14:42 |
| rbs-tito | DaveTarmac: Possibly, any relevant output in the terminal? could be as simple as a missing dll message | 14:42 |
| The_Joe_ | It's not an Anti-Linux copy protection is it? | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DaveTarmac Did you install wine from our repos or some other source | 14:42 |
| Darks1n904 | HI | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_ What? | 14:42 |
| DaveTarmac | Jack_Sparrow: I got it from wine.budgetdeciated.com | 14:42 |
| n8tuser | gizmo-> is this you? 180.129.160.119 | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DaveTarmac /j #Winehq | 14:43 |
| The_Joe_ | Jack_Sparrow: That Wine "error" - I'm just speculating | 14:43 |
| gizmo | n8tuser, maybe.. | 14:43 |
| jajo_ | n8tuser, Jack_Sparrow:ok, thanks for now ...I am going to check bios and exact number of grub error .. | 14:43 |
| gizmo | Jack_Sparrow, how i can make my ip like you? | 14:43 |
| gizmo | can i have some tutorial? | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !cloak | 14:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mib_8vdsko that does nothing in the new xorg as in interpid | 14:45 |

| Unknown0BC | Totem did not like to play it neither MPlayer. | 14:45 |

| rbs-tito | Totem is gstreamer based by default | 14:46 |
| The_Joe_ | So does anyone have any ideas about this resolution thing...? | 14:46 |
| Unknown0BC | VLC will not play it either. | 14:46 |
| The_Joe_ | Wow - and VLC plays everything | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_8vdsko you can try livecd and F6 and remove quiet splash and add these xmodule=vesa xdrvr=vesa, res=1024x768 | 14:47 |
| VioletsPie | ive been trying some terminal commands from the documentation and noticed that ubuntu takes up 700+ GB memory | 14:47 |
| rbs-tito | Unknown0BC: sure its a good file? | 14:47 |
| VioletsPie | how is that possible | 14:47 |
| VioletsPie | mb | 14:47 |
| Unknown0BC | rbs-tito, can you play 3gp files with sound ? | 14:47 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: buffers | 14:47 |
| VioletsPie | is it normal? | 14:48 |
| stefreak | this error does not say anything to me on hfsmodem install: http://nopaste.de/p/azATpwiyk | 14:48 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, how is that now done on a normal system please? if i may ask | 14:48 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: Linux manages its memory different than windows | 14:48 |
| VioletsPie | kk | 14:48 |
| VioletsPie | thanks | 14:48 |
| rbs-tito | Unknown0BC: the ones from my phone work fine, yeah | 14:48 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: Can you read me? | 14:48 |
| mib_8vdsko | a live cd is my only hope ? okie dokie | 14:48 |

| stefreak | s/hfsmodem/hsfmodem | 14:48 |
| aremay | !ffmpeg | 14:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ward1983 I would hit e at the grub prompt then e to edit make the changes and B for boot ? | 14:49 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: It keeps stuff in memory until the memory is need. Windows removes stuff from memory as soon as its not needed | 14:49 |
| enzotib | of course ackbahr | 14:49 |
| VioletsPie | i see, thank you I_Am | 14:49 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, wow, you need grub to change the graphics settings :s euh | 14:49 |
| Unknown0BC | rbs-tito with with vlc ? | 14:49 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: Nice, I think I was offline for a while... | 14:49 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, i meant changing GPU drivers | 14:49 |
| rbs-tito | Unknown0BC: Totem too | 14:49 |
| VioletsPie | had trouble getting my video card to work but then i realized i needed to update and voila | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ward1983 No, just one of the ways to force vesa for testing | 14:49 |
| Unknown0BC | What Ubuntu do you have ? | 14:49 |
| Unknown0BC | rbs-tito | 14:49 |
| rbs-tito | Unknown0BC: Though i paid for the fluendo codecs so maybe that had an impact. I'm using intrepid | 14:50 |
| VioletsPie | so far so impressed | 14:50 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, aaaah, so what replaces xorg.conf please? thats the right question | 14:50 |
| ackbahr | enzotib: So after quite some time, I had "ktron: cannot connect to X server 62.203.234.66:0.0" again; but it seems like it tried a little harder this time.... Does it suggest anything to you? | 14:50 |
| The_Joe_ | Hmm only 100 more updates to go... | 14:50 |
| Unknown0BC | rbs-tito: I think i'm simply missing a codec even though I see people recompiled ffmpeg in the past to get supprot for .3gp. | 14:50 |
| enzotib | no ackbahr | 14:50 |
| mib_8vdsko | is there any way to make my linux detect the screens ? | 14:50 |
| Unknown0BC | I did install w32codecs. | 14:50 |
| The_Joe_ | That's a lot of packages for Firefox.. | 14:51 |
| Unknown0BC | I don't need to reboot or something right ? | 14:51 |
| Unknown0BC | :\ | 14:51 |
| stefreak | nobody an idea? | 14:51 |
| rbs-tito | Unknown0BC: Try grabbing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, maybe its in another codec | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_8vdsko can you log into text mode | 14:51 |
| Feddozz | hello! question: I'm using hardy. I have a root partition '/' and a home partition '/home' If i format '/' and install intrepid in it will it use hardy conf and the settings? I already tried to upgrade but the result wasn't great | 14:51 |
| mib_8vdsko | yes, without a problem | 14:51 |
| mib_8vdsko | I'm able to type commands and all, but startx, and the gnome start command both dont do anything | 14:52 |
| fat_rat | echo -ne '\033[01;31m'; fortune; echo -ne '\033[00m' can someone tell whats wrong in this line? first line in fortune isn't red... | 14:52 |
| omid8bimo | hey fellows | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_8vdsko try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst duplicate the existing entry and make the changes I susggested on the second set of commands to try it | 14:53 |
| goog | Hey People! Is it possible to assign a key combination to a shellscript in Ubuntu? For example, I would like to have CTRL+SHIFT+u start a terminal. | 14:53 |

| 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. :-) | 14:53 |
| omid8bimo | because nvidia-xconfig generate this | 14:53 |
| omid8bimo | so when i put some configs inside | 14:53 |
| omid8bimo | it won't start | 14:53 |
| ortsvorsteher | <1enter @ omid8bimo | 14:54 |
| mib_8vdsko | Jack_Sparrow can you explain more ? I opened the file in the text editor, now what ? | 14:54 |
| omid8bimo | what's the solution? | 14:54 |
| VioletsPie | What concept is behind having to enter a password for everything in Ubuntu? | 14:54 |
| The_Joe_ | Does anyone have any idea why I can't go above 800x600 resolution? My screen is too squashed | 14:54 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: it help keep you safe | 14:54 |
| The_Joe_ | VioletsPie: Security | 14:54 |
| VioletsPie | Desktop-side or internet? | 14:54 |
| mib_8vdsko | both ? | 14:55 |
| pronoy | Unknown0BC: were u able to play sound on 3gp then ? | 14:55 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: both | 14:55 |
| omid8bimo | ortsvorsteher: what do you mean? | 14:55 |
| VioletsPie | How important is my password then, should I change it to be "harder"? | 14:55 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: every time you enter your password , make usre you know what its for | 14:55 |
| The_Joe_ | VioletsPie: Depends - Is it likely someone in your house could mess around with your settings? | 14:55 |
| VioletsPie | no | 14:56 |
| ortsvorsteher | omid8bimo: may you try to read your xorg.log to see what happens after you changed your xorg.conf | 14:56 |
| The_Joe_ | Then no need really | 14:56 |
| omid8bimo | maybe the bottom line is how can i generate xorg.conf from scratch? | 14:56 |
| I_Am | VioletsPie: Remember in linux root is all powerful, and 90% of the time you are entering you passwword it is so things can run as root | 14:56 |
| omid8bimo | ortsvorsteher: i did | 14:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_8vdsko find the line that boots your system.. remove quiet and splash save it and if it is the same add the commands I gave earlier to the line | 14:56 |
| VioletsPie | is that the same as sudo | 14:56 |
| Feddozz | Hey guys are you satisfied with intrepid? | 14:56 |
| The_Joe_ | Wtf?! Updates failed >.< | 14:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_ Watch the language.. thanks | 14:56 |

| VioletsPie | gives me "root"? | 14:57 |
| ortsvorsteher | omid8bimo: good! and, what happens? is there any output which shows where the problem is? | 14:57 |

| gamla_ko1san | jbmigel: good question really. maybe you're right =) | 16:23 |

| qcjn | can i name a usb key ? under nautilus ? | 16:24 |
| Neaai | Daniel_Mihaly: maybe it's damaged. if it worked before I can't think why now it says "insert disk" when the disk is there. | 16:24 |
| exodus_ms | gamla_ko1san, system -> administration -> software sources -> Updates -> Release uprgrade -> normal release | 16:25 |
| Daniel_Mihaly | I try another one, if you say that Interpid Ibex disk is the same.. | 16:25 |
| kdogg | sadik, we need to figure out what wireless card you have, then we can find out of your wireless card is even supported. Your pc is a dutch model and i cant find any information on it. | 16:26 |
| Neaai | Daniel_Mihaly: you're trying to install intrepid ibex server, I believe? Well, the server disk and the desktop disk are not exactly the same. They install different things. | 16:26 |

| Neaai | Daniel_Mihaly: ok. | 16:28 |
| Tonno | Neaai, Yes | 16:28 |

| mib_mg0btb | guys can anyone help me with the ebox mailserver? | 16:29 |
| jbmigel | Tonno: nautilus / | 16:29 |

But my HDD's cable only has one plug, so I unplugged the CD drive's and plugged the hard drive in there. But for some reason it didn't want to work; it didn't show up as a device.

| jbmigel | kley did you try going back to nv driver? does it fix? | 16:33 |
| gamla_ko1san | exodus_ms: ...but it didn't work. weird. (I mean, apt-get dist-upgrade didn't work.) | 16:33 |
| Neaai | Jorophose: it should show up normally. See if you can change the jumper settings from cable-select to master or slave in this disk you want to add. Sometimes those jumpers do the trick. | 16:33 |
| kley | actualy i removed network manager applet and reinstaled it | 16:34 |
| Neaai | Jorophose: or the other way around, from master to slave or c-s, or from slave to master or c-s, and so on. | 16:34 |
| exodus_ms | gamla_ko1san, try Update Manager, see if it list an update? | 16:34 |

| DefunctProcess | anyone know why my virtual consoles would be just black screens? | 16:35 |
| syberjj | kley - many wireless cards stopped working since the last kernel update and need new drivers which arent being released by the companies. try checking the main page | 16:35 |
| exodus_ms | gamla_ko1san, cool, but like jbmigel, said if your current version is working.... Why upgrade, it is an lts version | 16:36 |
| Neaai | Jorophose: you said you unplugged your cd drive and plugged the other disk. I asume the cd is in channel-2 ide of the motherboard. I'd expect your own hd to be on channel-1 ide and you're not touching it so normally no boot ordering should be changed. | 16:36 |
| Jorophose | Neaai: ok, then how do I change jumper settings?... | 16:36 |
| kley | i know , but i have no problems since today , and i never nedded my wireless card | 16:37 |
| kley | but now i need your help , cause i think the problem is that i did something , ubuntu is the most beatyful thing i ever seen | 16:37 |
| Neaai | Jorophose: You will have to take that other hd and see the jumpers it has. ide disks normally do have jumpers. There should be a legend explaining the positions of the jumpers, how they should be in each case: master, slave, and cable select. | 16:37 |

| ikonia | x-calibur: most home isp's will block 25 at the network level, so checking with them first will remove a LOT of trouble shooting | 17:49 |
| ScottG | Ubuntu is no better the Windows. | 17:49 |
| x-calibur | neaai, i think it has to do with my domain name, as i`m fairly sure telfort doesnt block port 25 | 17:49 |
| saivin | Ad, i got the jwm. but not sure if it is because of the link u gave. coz, i created ~/.xinitrc and added exec /usr/bin/jwm | 17:50 |
| pckchem | NoiZe | !patience | 17:50 |
| ikonia | ScottG: use whatever works for you | 17:50 |
| x-calibur | ok | 17:50 |
| reepime | !ati | 17:50 |
| Ward1983 | thorin81, dunno ask, if someone can help they will reply (which sometimes takesl ong) | 17:50 |
| x-calibur | i will chack | 17:50 |
| x-calibur | check | 17:50 |
| NoiZe | Ward1983: lol | 17:50 |
| ScottG | ikonia: oh good i finally got someones attention | 17:50 |
| Ward1983 | thorin81, if its a new isntallation you might aswell reinstall it | 17:50 |

| Ward1983 | NoiZe, nvidia by any chance? | 17:50 |
| CntrySheepFahker | so no takers to my questions aww | 17:50 |
| saivin | also i was looking for jwm in the select session page but it is some Run XClient ..something like that | 17:50 |
| ikonia | CntrySheepFahker: what was the question, I didn't see one | 17:50 |
| xc1024 | hi, got problem with gnome. i can't log on. .xsession-errors : http://paste.ubuntu.com/90084/. only one display. | 17:51 |
| CntrySheepFahker | ikonia: How to change pictures/backgrounds in each workspace in gnome.. I know kde does this from what I read. | 17:51 |
| NoiZe | Ward1983: don't know the command to look it up... it's a Dell inspiron 6000 | 17:51 |
| ScottG | ikonia: I just cleanly installed ubuntu, downloaded and installed updates, and I'm still having the same problems on my laptop. About a minute after I log in they keyboard stops working, the GNOME menu's dont work (they just light up when i click on them), if I change the brightness of my monitor the little window doesn't go away, etc............................................Can someone please help!??!?!?!! | 17:51 |
| ikonia | CntrySheepFahker: thats not supported, it's one background per "session" you can't have different per workspace | 17:51 |
| ikonia | ScottG: why ar eyou asking me | 17:51 |
| saivin | anyway got to do some editing before i can hav a decent jwm desktop... :) thanks Ad for the link.. (not sure if u r still here.. :) ) | 17:52 |
| CntrySheepFahker | ikonia: I also found an article that u can do this but u have to disable show desktop in nautilus, and add the pics in compiz, but it doesn't work for me. | 17:52 |
| ikonia | ScottG: I suggest you use whatever operating system you want, rather than shock tacktics to get attention | 17:52 |
| ScottG | ikonia: because ive asked the same question here about 5 times in the past 20 minutes without a response from anyone | 17:52 |
| ikonia | ScottG: also ............................... isnt needed it just takes up space | 17:52 |
| Ward1983 | NoiZe, erm... its kindof hard to configure a computer if you don't know whats inside it :p | 17:52 |
| Ward1983 | NoiZe, do lspci | grep nVidia | 17:52 |
| ScottG | ikonia: then what do you suggest, because i am far beyond frustrated right now. | 17:52 |
| CntrySheepFahker | ikonia: check this link out, he claims u can.. http://anuragbansal.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/how-to-get-different-wallpapers-on-each-workspace-in-ubuntu/ | 17:52 |
| Lartza_ | which is faster? moving to usb 2 device and then out from it or straight with local network windows fileshare | 17:53 |
| Neaai | x-calibur: I see. Well as ikonia said you might want to talk to them. if your domain is currently handled by your isp or any other party, contact them. there are many issues for you might be able to send to the world but not receive as incoming goes to isp. So you might want to do a smartpop configuration but the isp may need to alter stuff on that side too for this. | 17:53 |
| maslen | does anyone know how to gix a screen not found error ? ive tried using multiple window mangers, and its not working | 17:53 |
| ikonia | CntrySheepFahker: I don't think the current compiz version supports it, there are patches to try to make this work, but I don't believe they are in the stock compiz-fusion build | 17:53 |
| Ward1983 | NoiZe, do you get any results from that? | 17:53 |
| maslen | larza usually network, but depends on the speed of the USNa nd the speed of the network | 17:53 |
| Lartza_ | the network seems slow | 17:53 |
| maslen | wired or wireless? | 17:53 |
| Lartza_ | all wired | 17:54 |
| maslen | strange .... 10mbs or 100mbs ? | 17:54 |
| Lartza_ | i think 100 | 17:54 |
| maslen | prob 100, if its anything recent | 17:54 |
| Lartza_ | if my ac adapter supports 100 | 17:54 |
| maslen | the length of the cable can do it sometimes | 17:54 |
| NoiZe | ward1983: nope. But found VGA Controller: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 17:54 |
| maslen | but thats not usually an issue | 17:54 |
| thorin81 | Can anyone help with error: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic' beforeone installing new version I would rather not reinstall if possible... | 17:54 |
| Ward1983 | NoiZe, ok so now you know what GPU it has at least :p sorry cannot help with intel | 17:55 |
| hischild | thorin81, you have the 2.6.27-7-generic kernel installed atm? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | thorin81: it's trying to make a backup of the symlink that /boot has for the kernels, it's complaining about that | 17:55 |
| maslen | Does anyone know how to fix a no screens found error ?????????????????????????????? | 17:55 |
| NoiZe | ward1983: thanks anyway | 17:55 |
| Ward1983 | NoiZe, (just a tip should you ever need it: lsusb works aswell) | 17:55 |
| Ward1983 | NoiZe, noi problem | 17:55 |
| ikonia | maslen: more people will know if you don't use ?????????????????????????? | 17:55 |
| ScottG | Every chat BESIDES this one has offered some sort of help. I looked around and it seemed like ubuntu was the best OS for me to try to start out with linux and learn but im starting to think otherwise | 17:55 |
| thorin81 | hischild: I am not sure - how do I check? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | ScottG: ok, so don't use it | 17:55 |
| Lartza_ | length is pretty long | 17:55 |
| ikonia | ScottG: as I said earlier, if you don't like it/want to use it, don't use it, but stop making "threats" to not use it | 17:56 |
| Lartza_ | from computer to ac adapter to anotehr ac adapter to router to pc | 17:56 |
| ardchoille | thorin81: open a terminal and run: uname -r | 17:56 |
| maslen | 100 meters ? | 17:56 |
| maslen | AC adapter? you're using the network through the electricity in the house > | 17:56 |
| NoiZe | Question: Can anybody help me to set up a external monitor with intel graphiccard? | 17:56 |
| hischild | thorin81, dpkg -l | grep 2.6.27-7 <-- copy paste that please and tell me if it gives an output. DO NOT paste in this channel. | 17:57 |
| x-calibur | ikonia is there a way to check if port 25 is blokked by my isp, as i cant find anything about it/.' | 17:57 |
| hajmola | NoiZe, look into xrandr | 17:57 |
| thorin81 | ardchoille, hisname: it says 2.6.27-9 generic | 17:57 |
| ScottG | ikonia: yes well i still believe it is better but im not getting any help. im not making threats, im asking for help | 17:57 |
| Zerocool947 | Hi, I'm working with i8kbuttons, and I think I almost have it, but I need to know the syntax. Whenever I pass sudo i8kbuttons -u "mixer + 5" it tells me invalid argument. I need to know what my main audio mixer would be called | 17:57 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: contact your isp | 17:57 |
| Ward1983 | ScottG, its not exactly a simple problem, i wouldnt even know where to begin to solve that, the more dificult the problem, the less people that CAN reply, + people with good knowledge generally dont have much time | 17:57 |
| maslen | lartza : those conncetion speeds SUCK, use USB instead, with an external HD for the best speeds then, for sure | 17:57 |
| NoiZe | hajmola: and then? | 17:57 |
| ScottG | ward1983: Then what do you suggest I do? | 17:57 |
| Ward1983 | ScottG, also people do not OWE you any help... | 17:58 |
| Ward1983 | ScottG, wait untill someone replies... | 17:58 |
| ikonia | ScottG: I'm reading what your saying in ##linux to, so - as I said "stop" making threats, and stop saying "oh, it's poor, I may not use it" either wait patiently for help, when someone is free, or don't use it, but your threats are not needed | 17:58 |
| maslen | x:calibur all you would need to do is forward a port from your router, to your computers IP adress, and then use a site like GRC shields up, to test if the port is accessible | 17:58 |
| ardchoille | thorin81: so you're trying to install an older version of the kernel? | 17:58 |
| hajmola | NoiZe, xrandr is a command-utility for managing monitors. There's also a GUI version in the repos called grandr I think | 17:58 |
| hischild | !find grandr | 17:58 |
| ubottu | Found: grandr | 17:58 |
| reepime | When I try to install the ATI Drivers (per the instructions on the forum (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI)) I get an error "bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run: Permission denied". When I try the command with sudo, I get "sudo: ./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run: command not found". | 17:59 |
| hischild | hajmola, yeah. | 17:59 |
| Ward1983 | ScottG, also: tell the people here your mouse didnt even work in windows :@ FFS | 17:59 |
| thorin81 | hischild: I do get info after that, but what am I looking for? | 17:59 |
| x-calibur | maslen, i need port 25 to send mail from | 17:59 |
| hischild | !ati | reepime (ubottu was down before, use this link instead) | 17:59 |
| ubottu | reepime (ubottu was down before, use this link instead): For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 17:59 |
| NoiZe | hajmola: i see both diplay. I want to disable the laptop monitor. Actually i can only have cloned screens or an enlarged. If i use cloned screens i only can have the resolution of the laptor monitor. | 17:59 |
| x-calibur | i cant contact my provider, because its freakin sunday :s | 17:59 |
| reepime | Thanks. | 17:59 |
| PriceChild | ScottG: there are several other avenues for support in ubuntu including paid routes. Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support | 18:00 |
| xiamx | I'm looking for a Video editor on linux simular to adobe premium, and also a good audio editor, any advise? | 18:00 |
| === b33r is now known as Guest86313 | ||
| ScottG | Ward1983: well it did work. it worked better then on ubuntu. To be honest I dont have anything against ubuntu ive just had problems with my new laptop for the past 3 weeks straight and im just at my tipping point right now. | 18:00 |
| maslen | x:cal;ibur go on portforward.com, and forward a port to your computer, they have guides on setting up the routers. Then test if that port is open on http://www.grc.com/intro.htm | 18:01 |
| maslen | (cant give a link on grc, since they make custom URL's or something_ | 18:01 |
| hajmola | NoiZe, to be honest, i have an nvidia card (which doesn't play nicely with xrandr) but look through some xrandr documentation and online tutorials. I'm pretty sure you can do what you want | 18:01 |
| maslen | Can anyone help me with a screen not found error ? still having problems with that | 18:02 |
| x-calibur | ikonia port 25 is open, as i read on a users forum | 18:03 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: don't speak to user, contact your ISP | 18:03 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: I'm not sure how many times I can say the same thing over and over | 18:03 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: contact your ISP to get factual information | 18:03 |
| thorin81 | ardchoille: That is an update that is listed in the Udate Manager - I am just going off of what that is telling me | 18:03 |
| NoiZe | hajmola: thanks.. i managed to do it with grandr | 18:04 |
| vlt | Hello. What does the followinf error message mean? "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3" | 18:04 |
| Zerocool947 | I can find the manpages on i8kbuttons, but I don't know what it means. Could someone please help me decode some of it? | 18:04 |
| x-calibur | yes, i understand, but i wanted this thing to work today | 18:04 |
| x-calibur | and today i cant contact my isp | 18:04 |
| hajmola | NoiZe, nice :) always feels good to fix a problem | 18:04 |

| Davekong | Does anyone know how to make openbox use the menu in ~/.config instead of the global one? | 18:04 |

| Babilomax | hj | 18:05 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: be aware as well LOTS of isp's will bounce mail sent from an home dhcp connection | 18:05 |
| Babilomax | How t connect on irc.evolu.net with XChat ? | 18:05 |
| x-calibur | ikonia, gmail is bouncing my mail ;) | 18:05 |
| Babilomax | Please ? | 18:05 |
| Starnestommy | Babilomax: /help server | 18:05 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: well, I suspect that is the problem | 18:05 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: without any investigation I mean, it is quite common for isp's to bounce home connectins | 18:05 |
| Babilomax | SERVER | 18:06 |
| x-calibur | can i send via my isp`s smtp over php? | 18:06 |
| x-calibur | or via gmail or something like that? | 18:06 |
| ikonia | x-calibur: talk to the guys in ##php about mail() function and how to set it up | 18:07 |
| x-calibur | yes | 18:07 |
| x-calibur | your right | 18:07 |

| Zerocool947 | Jaymac: it's a dell latitude D830. I have i8kbuttons, but I can't quite figure out how to use it | 18:09 |
| biostar | i accidentally clicked remove from panel on my pidgen and gmail checker, now they're gone, how can i get them back up there? | 18:09 |
| hischild | [^martin], you mind removing the odd signs from your nick? makes it hard to type / tab complete. Perhaps it didn't release it's ip? Did you try to manually restart it again after? | 18:10 |
| cq | hello, I have an ubuntu install on one computer that I want to migrate to another computer by dumping it to an external usb disk... can I just rsync it to the disk and install grub? | 18:10 |
| Jaymac | biostar: go to Applications > Internet and click and drag Pidgin to the bar | 18:10 |
| Jaymac | same for gmail checker | 18:10 |
| Neaai | x-calibur: can you send emails from that host if you normally would with say, evolution mail ? | 18:10 |
| [^martin] | hischild: sure - 2 mins | 18:10 |

| biostar | i didn't lose the app launcher icon, but the status icon | 18:10 |
| jtaji | biostar: right click on panel, add to panel... add the notification area applet | 18:11 |
| hischild | MartinE, much better. Thanks. Anyway, sudo dhclient could give you an IP, but did you also try the nm-applet? | 18:11 |
| MartinE | hischild - I've tried ifdown/ifup and the same result | 18:11 |
| biostar | add the what? ..sorry | 18:11 |
| Jaymac | biostar: notification area... scroll downa nd you'll see it | 18:11 |
| MartinE | I had it working fine with nm-applet, I'm trying to switch to a config via interfaces file so that it comes up automatically at boot (it's a wireless card) | 18:11 |
| biostar | ah | 18:12 |
| hischild | MartinE, i see. Oh wait, we're talking wlan here? | 18:12 |
| biostar | thanks jay | 18:12 |
| kdogg | hello can someone with wacom experience look at my xorg file and see if i have it setup properly? http://pastebin.com/d4a3e34f4 | 18:12 |
| MartinE | yeah, tried setting things manually via iwconfig, tweaking interfaces file, everything I could think of, but it just dies as soon as I take it down and back up | 18:12 |
| Carlos_Tico | what is the password for | 18:12 |
| MartinE | but, it works on a reboot (until it drops the connection after about 1/2 an hour) | 18:12 |
| jurtti | thanks all! bye | 18:13 |
| Carlos_Tico | sftp with ubuntu | 18:13 |
| Carlos_Tico | ? | 18:13 |

| loveinvein | anyone know if you can add right click menu items in gnome like in xfce | 18:13 |
| kdogg | yes loveinvein | 18:13 |
| Carlos_Tico | i am trying to see the files from my windows machine on ubuntu | 18:14 |
| hischild | MartinE, hmm ... i see. From what i understand so far, wlan doesn't reconnect automatically. | 18:14 |
| Carlos_Tico | i can see the machine but i cannot see the files | 18:14 |
| Carlos_Tico | when i click on it | 18:14 |
| Lartza_ | maslen: I noticed 13gb isnt the amoun to transfer through electricity | 18:14 |
| IdleOne | Carlos_Tico, put the files on windows in Shared folder | 18:14 |
| Carlos_Tico | oh yeah | 18:14 |
| Carlos_Tico | they are shared | 18:14 |
| maslen | Larza: the electric wired internet speed sucks, highly not reccomended | 18:14 |
| kdogg | Carlos_Tico, did you run network setup wizard in windows and enable file sharing? | 18:15 |
| Carlos_Tico | but i think i need to put the password and user in somewhere in ubuntu | 18:15 |
| Carlos_Tico | right ? | 18:15 |
| Lartza_ | maslen: well i only use it for my internet that sucks too | 18:15 |
| Zerocool947 | Is there any way to get VirtualBox to recognize an OS that's already installed on another partition? | 18:15 |
| Lartza_ | 1mb | 18:15 |
| MartinE | hischild - so the best solution is via nm? I will have to get nm to stop asking for keychain pass then | 18:15 |
| Lartza_ | and there is no other way to connect it | 18:15 |
| kdogg | only if your on windows trying to access a shared ubuntu folder | 18:15 |
| Carlos_Tico | yeah ... no probelm with that i can do it from other windows machine but i have to put the user and password | 18:15 |
| Lartza_ | and the speed didnt suck much on 24mb internet | 18:15 |
| hischild | MartinE, do you use a script to auto restart the networking? | 18:15 |
| maslen | Larza: its speed is around a max of a 11mbs a second if I reemember, but it can get a ton of interference. You could try draft N stuff, it would would probably be a lot faster | 18:15 |
| Lartza_ | wireless didnt work without repeaters | 18:16 |
| bramlet___ | zerocool: not that I know of | 18:16 |
| kdub | can you upgrade 32 bit to 64 bit with an apt-get command? | 18:16 |
| Lartza_ | so that was second solution | 18:16 |
| w33d5 | 6d318c88913586b9d5e9cde84ad22474 | 18:16 |
| Lartza_ | i dont mind it | 18:16 |
| MartinE | hischild - not at the moment (but as a manual restart kills it, I'm guessing a script would too) | 18:16 |
| w33d5 | does anyone know of a script that will take one file of multiple images (with whitespace in between) and separate the images into new files? | 18:16 |
| maslen | Larza: ouch* .... a centrally wired router maybe? a USB drive is defeintly faster | 18:16 |
| Carlos_Tico | any idea | 18:16 |
| kdogg | Carlos_Tico, wich machine do you want the folder to be on the windows or ubuntu? | 18:16 |
| === CntrySheepFahker is now known as blah | ||
| Carlos_Tico | to fix that user and password for samba | 18:16 |
| Lartza_ | centrally wired? | 18:16 |
| === blah is now known as okokok | ||
| MartinE | I just can't quite see why restart kills it, but a reboot can bring it up | 18:16 |
| Carlos_Tico | i want to see from linux the folder of windows | 18:17 |
| eseven73 | kdub: no, you have to install the 64 bit | 18:17 |

| loveinvein | kdogg can you point me to it? | 18:17 |
| maslen | @larza shove a router somewhere in a closet, and run ethernet cables everywhere, mucho fsater | 18:17 |
| Carlos_Tico | i want to share my music between windows a ubuntu | 18:17 |
| Lartza_ | maslen: that was the problem, 10meter cable isnt enough and it would need to run through whole apartment | 18:17 |
| Lartza_ | twice... | 18:17 |
| maslen | you can get up to 100 Meters without intereference | 18:18 |
| maslen | if i rem correctly | 18:18 |
| kdogg | Carlos_Tico, you have to make a password for your windows user | 18:18 |
| Lartza_ | and by the way :D | 18:18 |
| Lartza_ | my ac adapter conencts to another ac adapter on routers port 2 | 18:18 |
| Carlos_Tico | i have a password | 18:18 |
| Lartza_ | but | 18:18 |
| MartinE | hischild - I'm just going to get it setup with nm again (so it at least works!) then see if I can give nm keychain permissions so it doesn't prompt | 18:18 |
| Carlos_Tico | i have a user and a password | 18:18 |
| MartinE | thanks for your response | 18:18 |
| Lartza_ | also other computers ac adapter connects to same ac adapter and port :P | 18:19 |
| Carlos_Tico | but how to put that on the ubuntu machine | 18:19 |
| hischild | MartinE, how did you set it up before then?\ | 18:19 |
| kdogg | Carlos_Tico, but it doesnt work? | 18:19 |
| Carlos_Tico | when i click on the machine | 18:19 |
| Carlos_Tico | it doesnt show my shared folders on windows | 18:19 |
| Carlos_Tico | its empty on ubuntu | 18:19 |
| Carlos_Tico | dont know why | 18:19 |
| Carlos_Tico | or where do i have to put the user and password for the samba share ? | 18:19 |

| Guest57397 | hi, I have install ubuntu 8.10 yesterday on my pc, today I try to run vista on the same machine and I got "BOOTMGR is missing".. any help? | 18:21 |

| kdogg | do you see the windows network icon? | 18:21 |
| MartinE | hischild: before I just did an out-of-the box graphical nm setup; this was trying to move the WEP key into the interfaces file so it came up at boot and stayed up | 18:21 |
| maslen | larza: I understand that, but if they are near each other, and far from the router, an ad hoc network would prob get you better speed, then the powerline. YOu can have BOTH, without any issues, one for sharing files, and one for the internet | 18:21 |
| TestingTheTest | I just plugged in my Flash Drive and i'm getting: "... end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector ..." | 18:21 |

| hischild | Unknown0BC, well that's nice of vlc to inform you that you can't fix it. Second | 19:08 |
| seeker | hischild - optional flags are passed that way? | 19:08 |
| force | is it possible to show the remote IP using the /etc/issue.net file? | 19:08 |
| Unknown0BC | I think vlc is a liar. | 19:09 |
| Unknown0BC | hehe | 19:09 |
| hischild | seeker, compile flags are yes. | 19:09 |

| schwubba1 | does somebody know how i can reinstall an older kernel? need 2.6.20-XX and header for compiling a kmod. | 19:10 |
| hischild | Unknown0BC, looks like you have to convert the video file to another format. http://www.howtoubuntu.com/2007/10/16/howto-convert-3gp-videos-to-mpeg.html | 19:10 |

| vlt | Hello. What could the following error message mean? "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3" | 19:10 |
| MasterShrek | !ask | Jban | 19:11 |
| ubottu | Jban: 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. :-) | 19:11 |
| Jban | alright, give me a sec then and I'll type it all up | 19:11 |
| force | hey, does anyone know wheter it is possible to show the remote IP using the /etc/issue.net file? | 19:11 |
| juancabrito | HI. When I try to use Rosegarden I get a message saying it was unable to find a high-resolution timing source for MIDI performance. It also says i can try running sudo modprobe snd-rtctimer in a terminal, but that doesn't work | 19:12 |
| schwubba1 | MasterShrek: hmm... i am not very familiar with ubuntu. it's installed on my work pc, so i do not know how far away (distributions) the 2.6.20 kernel on ubuntu is.... | 19:12 |

| Unknown0BC | hischild, I don't see why its needed to recompile the whole of ffmpeg... Its just a codec needed... | 19:17 |
| hischild | Unknown0BC, because ffmpeg can be used to transcode on the fly | 19:17 |
| Bert_2 | carpet_the_walls: "rm .*" | 19:17 |
| achadwick | carpet_the_walls, add "-type f" too for safety. | 19:17 |
| * vlt is away until 21:45 CET | 19:17 | |
| usser_ | force, so what i'd do is create .bash_login in your home directory | 19:17 |
| mromblad | hey all. let me get some opinions. which is the more popular in this room. Kbuntu or ubuntu | 19:18 |
| carpet_the_walls | Bert_2: thanks | 19:18 |
| force | vlt: actually I set up my ssh-server daemon to use this file as a banner - on the man page was written that there *are* variables like "%t" for current time, but it doesn't seem to work...is there a way to call a bash script before the banner-file is read (or reading the output oft he script)? | 19:18 |

| Gnea | carpet_the_walls: find . -name ".*" -type f -exec rm {} \; | 19:18 |
| usser_ | force, that file is run whenever a new user is logged in | 19:18 |

| carpet_the_walls | achadwick: what does type -type f do please? | 19:18 |

| usser_ | force, did u modify your ssh server because i think by default it reads /etc/banner not /etc/issue.net | 19:20 |
| Gnea | achadwick: or just find config/ -type f -name '.*' -not -path '*/.svn/*' -exec rm {} \; would probably go faster - less pipe usage | 19:20 |
| carpet_the_walls | thanks | 19:20 |
| force | usser_: no, by default it is /etc/issue.net | 19:20 |
| tonsofpc1 | oh, and this is x86-64 if it matters | 19:20 |
| achadwick | Gnea: but many more forks/execs, potentially. Depends how many files. | 19:20 |
| heinrich_ | jban, what's the partition's filesystem? | 19:20 |
| carpet_the_walls | someone suggested "rm .*", that wont be recurrsive will it | 19:21 |
| Gnea | achadwick: actually, I've found that it works much better in the case of too many files for rm to remove | 19:21 |
| seeker | is there a package "group" of some kind if my configure complains about Ẍ Win dev tools not found ... please install xlib-dev or xorg-x11-devel" | 19:21 |
| howlingmadhowie | carpet_the_walls: nope. without the -r option it will just delete all visible files in the directory | 19:21 |
| Jban | the partitian is ntfs, its an installation of windows xp | 19:21 |
| tonsofpc1 | the system is still working [i'm now sshed into and reconnected to the screen i was using] | 19:21 |
| force | carpet_the_walls: to use recursive deleting add "-r" | 19:21 |
| xxxxx | is there a way to have the output of the ls > command seperate file names by a comma or a line or something? | 19:21 |
| xc1024 | hi, got problem with gnome. i can't log on. .xsession-errors : http://paste.ubuntu.com/90084/. only one display. | 19:22 |
| n8tuser | xxxxx-> pipe it to awk | 19:22 |
| heinrich_ | jban, mount /dev/[drive] /mnt -t ntfs? | 19:22 |
| jacobw | hi there, how do you change the default keyring password in gnome? | 19:22 |
| usser_ | force, yea i think you're right. but it seems issue.net doesnt allow remote ip. so as i said you can do it with the logon script for bash | 19:22 |
| xxxxx | n8tuser: what is that? | 19:22 |
| tonsofpc1 | and it doesn't respond to kill with normal parameters, kill -5 will kill it | 19:22 |
| Jban | how do I find out the drive name? | 19:22 |
| jacobw | also, is it possible to make it remember the password nd not prompt you for it? | 19:22 |
| n8tuser | xxxxx-> man awk | 19:22 |
| juancabrito | I'm using 8.10, how can I get a "low latency kernel" or a "multimedia-optimized kernel" | 19:22 |
| usser_ | force, try this create a file ~/.bash_login and put who in it | 19:23 |
| xxxxx | n8tuser: im really new to linux | 19:23 |
| jacobw | juancabrito: have a look at ubuntustudio | 19:23 |
| n8tuser | xxxxx-> now is a good time to learn these tools | 19:23 |
| usser_ | force, next time you login from ssh you should the output of who command which would tell you all users that are currently logged in | 19:23 |
| xxxxx | just wonder if there is something to add to ls> filename.txt that will make the output more organised | 19:23 |
| heinrich_ | jban, if it's the first drive, do fdisk /dev/sda and find out the partition number there | 19:23 |
| force | usser_: uhm, but I guess this will only executed if the login did not fail, won't it? | 19:24 |
| n8tuser | xxxxx-> kindly google for ls and awk and pipe | 19:24 |
| usser_ | usser_, yes | 19:24 |
| usser_ | err | 19:24 |
| jacobw | xxxxx: its pretty organised when it prints the terminal isn't it? tables etc | 19:24 |

| seeker | jacobw: I'm actually playing with ubuntu studio 8.10 right now.. seems to have quite a lot of stuff, just not the specific item Iḿ here today for :) | 19:24 |
| tonsofpc1 | from the login screen, ctrl+alt+fkey will apparently change VTs, but will not show anything but the mouse cursor stuck where it previously was, over a grey background, it will allow me to change back. | 19:24 |
| jacobw | seeker: whats that then? :) | 19:24 |
| force | usser_: you see the banner before the ssh-login-thing appears | 19:25 |
| n8tuser | tonsofpc1-> those are called console terminals or tty | 19:25 |
| tonsofpc1 | n8tuser: not when they don't work they aren't | 19:25 |
| usser_ | force, really let me test it | 19:25 |
| force | usser_ and with this banner I want to tell the scrippt-kiddie that their hacks will be logged | 19:25 |
| seeker | jacobw: x64 smp cinelerra... but packages are available, they just don seem to be both at the same time :( | 19:25 |
| n8tuser | tonsofpc1-> to change back its ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 or f9.. | 19:25 |
| xxxxx | n8tuser: googling now. thanks and jacobw it is organised but when i open text file in windows its jumbled together seperated by squares | 19:25 |
| usser_ | force, i see | 19:25 |
| tonsofpc1 | n8tuser: i am trying to get to a console term on vt1-6, it is not changing properly | 19:25 |
| n8tuser | tonsofpc1-> what do you meant by changing properly? | 19:26 |
| hischild | n8tuser, it's f7 | 19:26 |
| tonsofpc1 | n8tuser: "8.10, installed 4 days ago, ctrl+alt+f1-6 causes the video output to change sync, then change sync back, then display a pointer cursor drawn over a black background where the mouse cursor was. the cursor does not move with any input and all keyboard inputs appear to be ignored. " | 19:26 |
| jacobw | seeker: have you tried http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#intrepid | 19:26 |
| n8tuser | hischild-> if he had second user logged in, it could possibly go to f8 | 19:26 |
| tonsofpc1 | n8tuser: after killing X and allowing it to reload [via gdm/init, i suppose], from the login screen, ctrl+alt+fkey will apparently change VTs, but will not show anything but the mouse cursor stuck where it previously was, over a grey background, it will allow me to change back. | 19:27 |
| hischild | n8tuser, no signs around names, breaks name highlighting ... still would give him a screen on f7 | 19:27 |

| n8tuser | tonsofpc1 -> yes it will screen when change levels | 19:39 |
| jacobw | juancabrito: rosegarden looks abit outdated to me | 19:39 |

| jacobw | just looking at the rosegarden website, it looks abit old | 19:40 |
| xc1024 | Jacobw : doesn't work | 19:40 |
| juancabrito | jacobw: but maybe it also needs a "multimedia-optimized kernel" | 19:40 |
| juancabrito | jacobw: that's the problem I'm having with Rosegarden | 19:41 |
| jacobw | juancabrito: it doesn't, i have it installed on my ubuntu normal | 19:41 |

| jacobw | xc1024: ok. could you paste the link to the error message again please | 19:41 |
| jeremy_ | and it wont compile or install | 19:41 |
| xc1024 | ok. | 19:42 |
| tonswin | ok, well, it killed the ssh connection... it seems to have killed X, and it showed the "ubuntu studio" screen with the black/white sliding over, went all the way to the right, stopped, and it's stuck there. | 19:42 |
| tonswin | n8tuser ^ | 19:42 |
| jacobw | jeremy_: not really an ubuntu specific problem | 19:42 |

| kevin_ | oO strange a flood bot. | 19:43 |

| jacobw | but past that i'm not too good with X problems | 19:44 |
| jacobw | can you use the failsafe gnome ok? | 19:44 |
| xc1024 | yes | 19:44 |
| tonswin | n8tuser - well, it doesn't appear to be simply a display issue, as attempting to login blind and telinit 5 isn't working... | 19:44 |
| seeker | jacobw - yeah I saw that but I can tell if they are actually x64 AND SMP. | 19:44 |
| jacobw | is it the full gnome as you would expect? | 19:44 |
| xc1024 | well, almost | 19:44 |
| n8tuser | tonswin -> which level are you on now? | 19:44 |
| xc1024 | aonly that i have to go to sessions -> failsafe to enable | 19:44 |

| xc1024 | ok, maybe besides this prompt before session | 19:45 |
| jacobw | xc1024: thats ok until you find a resolution then isn't it? | 19:45 |
| n8tuser | tonswin -> okay, you dont have X nor networking in level 1 | 19:45 |
| xc1024 | what resolution? | 19:45 |
| jacobw | i mean its ok until you can find how to fix the problem | 19:45 |
| howlingmadhowie | cmdbbq: new installation | 19:45 |

| tillux1 | Hi. Is there a way to tell nautilus to always open a new tab instead of a new window? 'Cause this behaviour is quite annoying, particularly because the tab support is quite good. (Even the windows explorer supports this, so nautilus too ought to, doesn't it?). However, a search on google didn't provide answers to this question ;) | 19:54 |

| damjan_ | hy | 19:57 |
| tillux1 | sattelite: I doubt you are looking for *the* gtk+ engine, because it's installed by default. You are most probably looking for an engine for gtk+, like the murrine engine | 19:57 |

| michaelklinckib1 | hischild: yea its still gray. are there any other options besides using a windows pc? | 19:58 |
| tillux1 | sattelite: I know that bug, it reads 'GTK+ Theme engine "" NOT installed' | 19:59 |
| Zalmoxis | plinioplug, try installing the driver for your video card | 19:59 |
| hischild | michaelklinckib1, wouldn't really know. I used the online installer to install wotlk, which worked fine. Didn't need the DVD> | 19:59 |
| tillux1 | because the theme engine called "" actually isn't installed, because there is none engine called like that ;D | 19:59 |

| sattelite | tiluxl what shall i do not then ?:P | 20:00 |
| averno | it ask me for key auth, and password. so it logs in, but at the time to use the application, vino, localhost:5900 says that error, channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused | 20:01 |

| inman | or sourceforge | 20:03 |

| thomc | Hey when I search in synaptic it's not showing all the available packages. Why is this? | 20:17 |
| onetinsoldier | Elite: open up the Synaptic Package Manager... then one of the options is to configure what repositories you have enabled. enable the cdrom and the use synaptic to install it. or you could mount the cdrom, cd to the dir that has the packages, then use dpkg to install it | 20:17 |
| michaelklinckib1 | slart: oh. ok. | 20:17 |
| zcat[1] | Elite, no, me.. ever since I upgraded to intrepid I have a 60hz refresh. It's giving me a migrane! | 20:17 |
| Slart | Yoyoto: or run "EDITOR=gedit sudoedit <filename>" is an even better way.. it does that copy you talked about etc. | 20:17 |
| basy | hi how can i check if motheroard supports pci expres 16x? | 20:17 |

| zcat[1] | hmm, wonder if I can scavenge the xorg.conf from this macine for the other one. Similar card, similar monitor... | 20:22 |
| plinioplug | No, installed 8.10 over 7.10 (have xorg.conf for opensuse 10.2, that works well, too). | 20:22 |
| SudoKing | How do I use java to execute a jar file? java file.jar doesn't work nor java -classpath file.jar | 20:23 |
| zcat[1] | doesn't the installer keep backups whenever it replaces xorg.conf? | 20:23 |
| tillux1 | SudoKing: do you know how the main is called? or try "java file" / "java mainclassname" | 20:24 |

| onetinsoldier | Elite: did you get the cdrom mounted? | 20:24 |
| LTL | plinioplug: one possible hack would be get the exact v-sync h-sync specs off the monitor and plug the specs into the device section of xorg.conf, might work f the proper video driver is working. | 20:24 |
| dan_ | z | 20:24 |
| Elite | onetinsoldier, yea it mounted it | 20:24 |
| hischild | averno, shouldn't have to. Seems to be a server side issue, not really with SSH. I'm afraid won't be of much help. | 20:24 |

| elementz | does anybody know what thats supposed to mean? what are the privacy extensions? | 20:54 |
| onetinsoldier | LTL: there should be a strict warning about enabling that repo, imo. you should expect things to possibly break and be prepared to file a bug report. i know myself, but i wonder if some other people do | 20:54 |

| jim_p | __8472, can you please give us a url for it? | 20:55 |
| LTL | mn: follow the instructions on that page, insure /boot/grub/menu.lst has splash appended of the kernel line | 20:55 |
| carandraug | VioletsPie: did the upgrade come up with a new kernel? Did you try the old kernel or you tried only the recovery mode? | 20:55 |
| onetinsoldier | VioletsPie: ok, roger. for backing up, I recommend searching google for the following... Ghost Unix ...aka g4u | 20:55 |
| jim_p | elementz, do you get any other symptom? | 20:55 |

| tonon | limewire | 21:02 |
| craigbass1976 | What do I use to listen to .pls files. I used to use xmms | 21:02 |
| jim_p | firefly2442, i dont know anything else to help you. may i give you a wiki url? | 21:02 |

| jim_p | firefly2442, pm me if you need explainations on the arch functions | 21:03 |
| LTL | craigbass1976: try pasting the stream url into amarok | 21:04 |
| tonsofpcs | i was added to a group post-login, is there a way i can open a folder that is owned by that group in naut? | 21:04 |
| onetinsoldier | firefly2442: i haven't been following you situation, but perhaps there's and apache group? | 21:04 |
| tonsofpcs | [it tells me i lack permission] | 21:04 |
| firefly2442 | onetinsoldier: oh ok, here's the issue, /var/www/ is owned by root | 21:04 |
| tonon | E: dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 21:04 |
| firefly2442 | onetinsoldier: that's really odd... hmm, ok | 21:04 |
| craigbass1976 | LTL, well, I just installed xmms2 thinking that would work. i'm lazy... want to just clickm on the file and listen... I'll try amarok though | 21:04 |
| tonon | E:_cache->open()failed,pleasereport | 21:04 |
| jim_p | firefly2442, i think the entire /var is only root owned | 21:05 |
| onetinsoldier | firefly2442: well, i'm not familiar with setting up a server, so i'll just be quiet and stick to what i do know, lol. | 21:05 |
| wos | can anyone tell me how to open a wmv file? | 21:05 |
| firefly2442 | jim_p: I did an ls -l inside /var and it says root for www folder hmmmm :/ | 21:05 |
| LTL | firefly2442: just my opinion, changing ownership of /var/www is crazy. | 21:06 |
| jim_p | wos, with any media player and with the w32codecs package installed! | 21:06 |
| firefly2442 | LTL: yeah, I understand why, security risks and all | 21:06 |
| hommeentete | jim_p: it | 21:06 |
| belgacem23 | firefly2442: if you have installed MC ( MidNigthCommander ) , su as root, with MC, go to the directory /var/www/ and with chmod and chown in the popup menu, it's easy to change. | 21:06 |
| hommeentete | jim_p: it's a cavalry | 21:06 |
| LTL | firefly2442: ok. cool. best of luck. | 21:06 |
| jim_p | hommeentete, ? | 21:06 |
| onetinsoldier | firefly2442: i agree with LTL, don't change the permissions unless you read somewhere in the docs that you have to | 21:06 |
| hommeentete | jim_p: the external hard drive i bought -- it was really cheap - 250GB and I just overrode the filesystem | 21:07 |
| cq | I have ubuntu installed and want to install it on a second external USB drive, can I just run the installer somehow, or do I need the ISO image? | 21:07 |
| Snipermaster002 | could somone help me | 21:07 |
| firefly2442 | lemme poke around on the NET some more here.... | 21:07 |

| thepizzanator_ | does anyone have a program for modifying the GRUB bootloader and the usplash through a gui? | 21:07 |

| jim_p | hommeentete, is it ntfs formatted? | 21:07 |
| Snipermaster002 | you guys i need help with the desktop effects | 21:07 |
| thepizzanator_ | i had it before i formatted my hard drive, it was really handy | 21:07 |

| thepizzanator_ | Snipermaster002: it won | 21:08 |
| LTL | wos: totem plays .wmv | 21:08 |

| Snipermaster002 | ati? | 21:08 |
| thepizzanator_ | 'Snipermaster002 it won't let you enable them? | 21:08 |
| wos | oh ok | 21:08 |
| Snipermaster002 | no i enable them | 21:08 |
| Snipermaster002 | and press the keys | 21:08 |
| jim_p | Snipermaster002, ati the gpu maker | 21:08 |
| thepizzanator_ | Snipermaster002: your graphics card, what brand is it? ATI is a brand. | 21:08 |
| Snipermaster002 | but it dont work | 21:08 |
| Snipermaster002 | i dont know | 21:08 |
| Snipermaster002 | how do u check | 21:08 |
| LTL | wos: a click in nautilus should launch it | 21:08 |
| onetinsoldier | firefly2442: i think that usually users make the web site/pages, then the root user installs them, changes the ownership and permissions of the files if needed. users never really go into the web server directories | 21:08 |

| thepizzanator_ | if anyone is availiable to help me find something... | 21:09 |
| belgacem23 | cq: with Unetbootin you can install Ubuntu on a flashdisk. | 21:09 |
| jim_p | wos, totem is preinstalled. you have ti install the w32codecs | 21:09 |
| firefly2442 | onetinsoldier: I guess, it's weird because in previous versions of Ubuntu when I did this, www-data owned that entire folder | 21:09 |
| jim_p | thepizzanator_, ? | 21:09 |
| thepizzanator_ | i had a program for changing grub and possibly the usplash also through a gui. i can't remember its name though | 21:09 |
| LTL | wos: jim_p is correct, w32codecs is a must. | 21:09 |
| Snipermaster002 | ok so i installed the compiz and i dont know what my grpahics card is | 21:10 |
| onetinsoldier | firefly2442: hmmm, roger. there might be an issue, i don't know. | 21:10 |
| cq | belgacem23: I have ubuntu installed already, I just need to do another installation for a drive on a computer that has no CD | 21:10 |

| pgimenez | Just to thank all of you... had solved the problem with my monitor higher resolution (adding ONLY the hsync and vsync on the xorg.conf solved the problem.) Just think the plug'nplay that recognized my monitor does not worked as expected. | 21:10 |

| jim_p | thepizzanator_, these are just NUMBERS inside the grub configuration file! ok the image is a variable! do you need gui for that? | 21:10 |
| jim_p | jeward, install a 64bit kernel | 21:11 |
| thepizzanator_ | jim_p: what i really want to do right now is change the usplash. I downloaded a custom one from gnome-look.org but i can't figure out how to install it. the readme doesn't make a whole lot of sense | 21:11 |
| jeward | jim_p: And everything will wpork fine including flash? | 21:11 |
| jim_p | thepizzanator_, is it a .so file? | 21:11 |

| jim_p | jeward, adobe made a 64bit flash but its still alpha version | 21:12 |
| jim_p | venky10, tell us! | 21:12 |
| kirkt | how can i install some telnet daemon so i can log into my ubuntu server via telnet? | 21:12 |
| Snipermaster002 | haha | 21:12 |
| jeward | jim_p: 32 bit server kernel can use 4G RAM, no? | 21:12 |
| thepizzanator_ | jim_p: can i just send you a screenshot fo everything that was inside the .gz file i downloaded? that might be easier... | 21:12 |
| venky10 | Network doesn't work for the virtual machine | 21:12 |
| thepizzanator_ | of* | 21:12 |
| jim_p | Snipermaster002, you deleted windows. they are gone now. be careful next time | 21:12 |
| theatrus | kirkt, you really don't want telnet | 21:13 |
| jlc | How can I build an i386 kernel for my eeepc from my 64bit quad core? What can I use to make an ubuntu kernel package for cross compiling? | 21:13 |
| Gnea | kirkt: why use telnet when you can use ssh? | 21:13 |
| LTL | kirkt: word of advice use ssh server, not telnet | 21:13 |
| kirkt | Gnea anything will work.. i just need something i can log into | 21:13 |
| Snipermaster002 | so what do u do now? | 21:13 |
| jim_p | jeward, with pae enabled yes. i dont like that option though. 64 bits is far safer choice | 21:13 |
| theatrus | kirkt, apt-get install openssh-server | 21:13 |
| belgacem23 | cq: you don't need a CD. Just an .iso on you HD and a flashdisk. | 21:13 |
| Gnea | jlc: you'd need to configure the kernel to the eeepc specs - #ubuntu-eeepc should know how | 21:13 |
| cq | belgacem23: cool, i'll try it... | 21:13 |
| jeward | jimP: Okay, should I just install a complete 64bit Linux then? | 21:13 |
| ozgurgerilla | Can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card | 21:13 |
| theatrus | jlc, and you can crosscompile, though its some legwork to set it up | 21:14 |
| kirkt | theatrus will it run immediatly or should i configure it and stuff | 21:14 |
| jim_p | Snipermaster002, accept that you lost all your data, make a new partition, install windows in there and restore grub when donw | 21:14 |
| PLC | B'soir | 21:14 |
| jim_p | ozgurgerilla, me | 21:14 |
| theatrus | kirkt, it'll start its self up right away | 21:14 |
| Gnea | kirkt: just stick with ssh, unless you enjoy having people you don't know sniffing your telnet connection to capture everything you type (password included) | 21:14 |
| jim_p | jeward, yea | 21:14 |
| jlc | Gnea: k, I wasn't sure if there was an option to fakeroot or something | 21:14 |
| mrapollo | Hi All. I currently have an ubuntu installation that has no network connection (broke with 8.10 upgrade). Can I boot from a livecd and chroot into the machines environment to install packages using apt-get? I want to try reconfiguring/recompiling the kernel but currently the tools are not installed. | 21:14 |
| jeward | jim_p: Is it easy to get the alpha flash? | 21:14 |
| jlc | fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch arch=i386 flavours="blah" | 21:14 |
| theatrus | kirkt, use 'ssh kirkt@machine' on *nix systems, and something like PuTTY on windows | 21:14 |
| kirkt | i dont think it started automatically, ps -ax | grep ssh brings nothing | 21:14 |
| PLC | je cherche à tester le débit d'un disque dur externe, y a t il un moyen facile pour ce test ? | 21:14 |
| jlc | something like that maybe | 21:14 |
| johnfinch | Hey, I just a have a quick question, I am trying to wrap my wireless, I need to run something in terminal, where do I access this terminal to run things in it? | 21:15 |
| Gnea | jlc: i was referring to the .config, not the compile process | 21:15 |
| PLC | sorry | 21:15 |
| Manc | Can someone help me with this Double Clock Speed Problem? I can't seem to get the solutions I've found to work. | 21:15 |
| jlc | config no worries, its the building that I'm wondering | 21:15 |
| ozgurgerilla | jim_p: my Atheros card doesn't work, I tried so many tutorials but it still doesn't work. any ideas? | 21:15 |
| theatrus | kirkt, did it say it installed successfuly? | 21:15 |
| jim_p | mrapollo, or you can just remove network manager and save yourself loads of time and mental peace | 21:15 |
| jlc | since atom processor is a tad slower than a quad core | 21:15 |
| PLC | i not in the french chan :p | 21:15 |
| kirkt | theatrus yes should i restart or something/ | 21:15 |
| jim_p | ozgurgerilla, lspci | 21:15 |
| Gnea | jlc: why not just try to build it and see if it boots or not? | 21:16 |
| johnfinch | Will someone help me, I have a question about terminals? | 21:16 |
| jim_p | jeward, give me a sec to look it up | 21:16 |
| mrapollo | jim_p: I tried that but it did not fix my network problem. I agree though just fixing the wireless somehow would be much nicer! | 21:16 |
| Gnea | johnfinch: only if you ask the question | 21:16 |
| onetinsoldier | johnfinch: just ask the actual full question | 21:16 |
| jlc | I wasn't sure if there is something in the build process that has to be done for it to get installed on a different arch | 21:16 |
| jlc | I'll build one and see what it makes | 21:16 |
| PLC | is it possible to test the read/write transter to an external HDD (via USB) | 21:16 |
| PLC | transfert* | 21:16 |
| jlc | brb/checking kids nap time.... | 21:16 |
| Gnea | jlc: as long as you have the atom cpu selected in your .config, it should figure itself out | 21:17 |

| GodfatherofEire | mib_qeoc9m, try uninstalling pulseaudio | 21:36 |
| louish | I've just recently installed 8.10 64bit version. And I've been experiencing problems with ac power not showing up on the taskbar, and the battery not charging in my docking station. Everything worked fine in 8.04 64 bit. But since the installation of the new version, it's not charging from the docking station, I have to plug the power directly into the laptop. And when plugged directly into the laptop, the battery status, does | 21:36 |
| GodfatherofEire | It has a tendency to be a little, unfriendly, with Ubuntu | 21:36 |
| firefly2442 | nDevastator: you probably did an upgrade and one is older, just use the newer one (higher version number) | 21:36 |
| johannes__ | HideousNashimoto go to the folder where azures downloads is in type cd Azu and then press Tab | 21:36 |

| LTL | mib_qeoc9m: you'll lose x windows un-installing pulse without extra steps fyi. | 21:36 |
| mib_qeoc9m | GodfatherofEire: I almost hope that does not work, I like pulseaudio :( | 21:36 |
| nDevastator | firefly2442 negative i did a clean install from a live cd... but okay I will use the newer kernel | 21:37 |
| GodfatherofEire | mib_qeoc9m, hold up a sec | 21:37 |
| mib_qeoc9m | LTL: what are you talking about? | 21:37 |

| mib_qeoc9m | LTL: I have removed it and reinstalled it many times on different machines | 21:37 |

| syberjj | bazz - then you cant, you need to tell the router to forward something to your mashine. firewall drops all external connections by default so it doesnt matter what port you use, you need a port to have "forward to port 22 on internal machiene 192.168.1.X" or smth like that | 21:43 |

| usser_ | Neurologic, i've seen that for chess you need to install python gl package its not available by default | 21:49 |

| theatrus | ramvi, I meant reprepro, but its a tool to build debian/ubuntu package repositories | 21:54 |
| Giggsteve8 | mib: Would it be helpful to defrag first, to get it all together? Is there a safe way to do it, other than fresh installing both and partitioning? | 21:55 |
| theatrus | Katangawise, everything has its issues, all depends on your hardware | 21:55 |
| mib_qeoc9m | Giggsteve8: However, much work has gone into the partition editor to allow it to safely resize partitions, and I have never met someone that had a problem with it | 21:55 |
| carandraug | Giggsteve8: by installing that way, it will only create a big file inside windows, it won't resize a partition nor delete anything. So it shouldn't break anything | 21:55 |
| NemesisD | IndyGunFreak: i did not, i wasn't aware of that tool | 21:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | Katangawise: all you can do is install it, stick w/ it, and try. | 21:55 |

| carandraug | Giggsteve8: forget what I just said. It seemed to me that you were installing with Wubi | 21:56 |
| mib_qeoc9m | carandraug: what makes you think he is using wubi? Did I miss something? | 21:56 |
| NemesisD | IndyGunFreak: well it appears that twinview is already disabled in there | 21:56 |
| Giggsteve8 | Carandraug: I don't even know what that is. Hah. Thank you though, you guys are always so helpful | 21:56 |

| NemesisD | lemme restart x | 21:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | NemesisD: ok.... | 21:57 |
| mib_qeoc9m | Giggsteve8: it might actually be good for you to use wubi if this is your first time, like carandraug said it simply installs linux into a file in windows. And allows all the normal dual booting goodness. | 21:57 |

| linny | faduda: depends on the size of your /home dir and the speed of your disks | 22:15 |
| faduda | carandraug rsync is as gibberish to me as dd. Is it too much to want a simple to use gui that works. It's not like backup is an obscure process | 22:15 |
| Slart | R0b0t1: the compiler is written in freepascal? | 22:15 |
| Thanatos | So when I woke up this morning, ibex was mysteriously only allowing 1024x768, now it is only allowing 800x600. I haven't changed a damned thing except fiddling with the resolution manager. Any ideas? | 22:15 |
| R0b0t1 | Slart: Yes, it happens to be. | 22:15 |
| selkies | guys i got Ubuntu 8.10 and i can't connect my external hard disk to it.. help plz | 22:15 |
| carandraug | faduda: rsync -acvSHx --exclude lost+found /home/ /where_you _want_to_backup <--- use this command to backup your home. But do it in a tty after you logout from a X session | 22:15 |
| eseven73 | faduda: have you tried Grsync? | 22:15 |
| Slart | R0b0t1: and needs the latest version to compile the latest version?.. great thinking there | 22:15 |

| Slart | R0b0t1: well.. you need to find precompiled binaries then.. ubuntu doesn't supply those for the version you want.. so I guess you need to go pester the fp developers | 22:16 |

| ubottu | thepizzanator_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:19 |
| faduda | OK, grsync is installed, now where is it in my Applications menu? | 22:19 |
| Slart | selkies: ok, try to write as much information you can, on one line, what kind of hard drive, file system, how you determine that it doesn't work, what you've tried etc... remember.. one line | 22:19 |
| faduda | nm, got it | 22:19 |
| thepizzanator_ | when i shut down my system, i sometimes see a bunch of errors or something with NetworkManager in them scrolling down the screen, before i see the usplash | 22:19 |

| thepizzanator_ | does anyone here have the program installed that emulates the dock from mac os x? what's it called? | 22:22 |
| Koz3ris | did wrong? how to correct? can u pm me ur interface file | 22:22 |
| Slart | thepizzanator_: awn? | 22:22 |
| faduda | eseven73: grsync is looking good, any obvious setting I should select/deselect before I go? | 22:22 |
| thepizzanator_ | does that work with gnome? | 22:22 |
| Slart | thepizzanator_: there are a few.. cairo dock is another one | 22:22 |
| onetinsoldier | thepizzanator_: those erros might be contained in the dmesg command, or in log files that are in /var/log. for instance /var/log/messages or /var/log/kern.log | 22:22 |
| thepizzanator_ | where do i find /var/log/ ? | 22:22 |
| Majestic | faduda: gadmin-rsync | 22:22 |
| eseven73 | faduda: im not sure what you're trying to do exactly, i only caught the last part of your conversation | 22:22 |
| Slart | thepizzanator_: var is a folder in the root folder /, log is a folder in the var folder | 22:23 |
| hischild | Koz3ris, i prefer to stick with the channel. What is in /etc/resolv.conf? | 22:23 |
| thepizzanator_ | onetinsoldier, what's the most popular one/best one? | 22:23 |
| thepizzanator_ | okay, i'll take a look | 22:23 |
| faduda | eseven73: I'm about to backup /home/ to an external drive using grsync, just wondering if theres anything needs checking of it the default settings are good to go | 22:23 |

| NemesisD | IndyGunFreak: that didn't do it but clicking expand in gconfeditor seems to have revived it | 22:26 |
| hischild | Koz3ris, that means there is no dns server set. Do you know your router? It probably also your dns server. do this please --> gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf <-- and put this in it --> nameserver yourrouter <-- where you change yourrouter for your router. | 22:26 |
| faduda | I think I need to do this when I'm less tired, thanks for your help guys | 22:26 |

| onetinsoldier | thepizzanator_: i really can't help too much more than the suggestion of looking at the dmesg command and those log files | 22:28 |

| thepizzanator_ | onetinsoldier, you're right, dmesg is for bootup | 22:31 |

| thepizzanator_ | yeah, okay | 22:32 |
| thepizzanator_ | i'll try installing the drivers on windows, i think that helped last time... | 22:33 |

| hischild | Koz3ris, add the ip of the other machine in the /etc/resolv.conf as a nameserver. You know how to do that? | 22:34 |
| yates | in gnome/nautilus, if i have a subfolder expanded somewhere under the top level folder, how do i create a sub-subfolder? File/Create Folder creates a new folder at the top level folder. | 22:34 |
| yates | or is there a better file manager to use? | 22:34 |
| onetinsoldier | Majestic: or was that just a joke about my nick? lol | 22:35 |
| Majestic | onetinsoldier: and the "shoot up" soup | 22:35 |
| Koz3ris | hischild we have 2 dns ( put dns in resolv.conf right? ) and we put they as nameserver IP, nameserver IP ( 2 lines, different ips) | 22:36 |
| hischild | Koz3ris, can you ping those DNS? | 22:36 |
| Promille | Hey guys. I have a write permission problem. I cant seem to write to on internal 1TB HDD. It is located at sdb1 and it is fat32. My /etc/fstab doesnt even show this partition of the harddrive. Any suggestions? | 22:37 |

| hischild | Koz3ris, that's the same DNS as on your other pc? And can you ping anything by DNS? | 22:39 |
| stefg | Promille: and you should really think about using vfat on a 1 TB drive anyway... | 22:39 |

| Promille | stefg: what do you mean? | 22:40 |
| Majestic | Promille: Dont troll | 22:40 |
| sunapi386 | anyone know about data recovery ? | 22:40 |
| Promille | Majestic: what? i cant write ANYTHING to the drive | 22:40 |
| fifi | pfff | 22:40 |
| Majestic | Schmorgis | 22:40 |
| stefg | Promille: fat32 is designed for filesystem in the 30 GB range.. WinXP doesn't let you create drives bigger than 32 GB with fat32 by default ( for a reason) ... use some modern filesystem on it, taht was designed for a job like that | 22:41 |
| Koz3ris | hischild, we dont have other pc, im on other provider. btw he tried to come in google.lt by ip i gave and its not only pings but opens too | 22:41 |
| Promille | stefg: what filesystem should i try then? | 22:42 |
| Majestic | Promille: something more along the lines of the channel youre in ? | 22:42 |
| alfatau | hello, how to set a forced disk check at reboot? thanks | 22:43 |
| Majestic | Promille: nt fs could be ok too but not adviced | 22:43 |
| stefg | Promille: depends... ext3 is universal, but actually does nothimg right. xfs is good for large files, reiserfs is good for small files.... if you need windows compatibility use ext3 and install an ext3 driver for windows | 22:43 |
| hischild | Koz3ris, it's only the dns that isn't resolving the names into IP's. Setting the correct ip's in /etc/resolv.conf will fix it. Anyway, i need some sleep now, so please ask the channel. | 22:43 |
| hischild | stefg, from my experience XFS is better for loads of small files. | 22:43 |
| Promille | stefg: i dont need windows compability on it. this is just a dump hdd for movies and such.. so you recommend ext3? | 22:44 |
| Majestic | Promille: i reccommend ext3 fs without journalling to be hot | 22:44 |
| Promille | kk.. can i convert from fat32 -> ext3 without loosing data? | 22:44 |
| dyf | hello.. i downloaded some themes from gnome-look and installed them from within Appearance Preferences, but they don't show up with the list of themes.. how can i apply them? | 22:44 |

| Promille | ok, thanks guys | 22:45 |
| Majestic | Promille: fat32 isnt very good :) | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | Promille, You can just copy the files over to a new FS | 22:45 |
| stefg | Promille: since it's pretty standard, yeah... i personally would uzse xfs for that | 22:45 |

| vahnx | works fine for a few seconds then positions in the center | 22:48 |
| vahnx | kinda difficult opening xchat | 22:48 |
| stefg | Promille: you can't convert fat32 into anything on linux .. you need to reformat teh drive | 22:49 |
| Majestic | vahnx: bright light on a laser mouse will have weird effects | 22:49 |
| vahnx | yeah works fine in windows | 22:49 |
| zz_dzup | hello | 22:49 |
| vahnx | i unplugged the mouse too | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | jjanzer_, You can probably change the sources.list after the base install, I think that the installer just chroots into the base system then uses apt-get normally | 22:49 |
| jjanzer_ | Jordan_U: yeah but the install won't complete b/c there are a few corrupted packages it tries to install | 22:50 |
| vahnx | i went into mouse and keyboard settings, no luck | 22:50 |
| alfatau_ | hello, how to set a forced disk check at reboot? | 22:50 |
| sunapi386 | yesterday, i lost a lot of songs that i collected over the years. i was trying to copy all my music from reiserfs to ntfs, since i need them to be playable on xp too. i have a dual boot thing going on, with xp and ubuntu. xp was in hibernation, and i booted up ubuntu to cut the file over from reiserfs partition to the ntfs partition. linux didnt like me mounting the ntfs, and said if i really wanted to, i should use "-o force" o | 22:50 |
| sunapi386 | ption, which i did. it mounted fine, and i can see/use the files whatever. but when i finished cutting the files over, and turned off ubuntu with a hard-poweroff, booted up xp, the files weren't there on the disk. but, strangely, the free disk space went down according to the right amount, which was 30 gb ish. now, i used heirn's boot cd and checked out the disk, most of the utilites could see the music. but they did not have a | 22:50 |
| sunapi386 | disk to copy it out to. (i was recovering from the ntfs because reiserfs recovery is not widely supported) they could not identify my external hard drive. i've also tried ntfsundelete on linux, but it did not work because "the mft is in use".. so the challange remains, how can i get the data out? | 22:50 |

| ubottu | OxDeadC0de: 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+) | 23:01 |

| hischild | ikonia, do you have another second please? | 23:26 |
| ikonia | sure | 23:26 |

| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: ok, now open up the status file with a text editor | 23:27 |
| ikonia | Majestic: few intel cards have the grunt though | 23:27 |

| ikonia | Majestic: it's his call, if he wants solid hardware acceleration I' afraid I'd put my weight behind nvidia for the grunt, but I do use intel myself and find very solid usability as you've suggsted | 23:29 |

| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: you still with me? | 23:29 |
| Majestic | ikonia: A downside to ati and nvidia is you dont know what the <bleeping> they put into that binary | 23:29 |

Everything was fine at first... until i went to login at ssh... - wouldn't recognize my username/password .... Went on site to login directly (had to hook up a monitor and keyboard) .... Still won't recognize my username. I turned off the machine . . hit escape during grub and clicked on recovery mode .... after starti | 23:29 |
| iratik | ng up it says "enter root password for maintenance - (or enter Control D to continue)" ... ... Not sure if the root account is necessarily enabled (i know its not for ssh login) - i know i become root using "sudo -s" ... I press Control D ... it takes me to login - and doesn't reocgnize my username... What do i do!? | 23:29 |
| selkies | carandraug: ya i did | 23:30 |
| TestingTheTest | Is there a way to get a *.deb package with all the needed dependencies ? | 23:30 |
| tonyyarusso | tsrk: Good answer - that's the easy one. 'passwd -l' ("locks" the password. -u reverses it. Details can be found in the passwd man page) | 23:30 |
| Majestic | ikonia: Yes, if required and no other means there it can be good but basically not | 23:31 |
| carandraug | selkies: does the output ends with a buch of dots? ................................................................. | 23:31 |
| |unjustice| | ikonia: aren't nvidia cards still proprietary | 23:31 |
| |unjustice| | ? | 23:31 |
| tsrk | tonyyarusso, ok, but is there a way to set that when creating the user? adduser has --disabled-password and --disabled-login but i'm not sure which to use, or maybe it's neither of those. | 23:31 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: you find one in there yet? if so, show me what the 'Status:' line looks like... | 23:31 |
| selkies | carandraug: that was to show that it ends there | 23:31 |
| ikonia | |unjustice|: yes they are | 23:31 |
| |unjustice| | ikonia: are there freely licensed alternatives? | 23:32 |
| selkies | carandraug: pen drives works well.. it auto mounts but not the hard disk | 23:32 |

| Majestic | ikonia: You see, they will try to add viruses to the dists by any means possible. Flash, binary addons and antiviruses. Just as youll have viruses in your phones | 23:32 |
| ikonia | |unjustice|: nope, only intel as Majestic suggested by they are no-where near as powerful | 23:32 |
| |unjustice| | hmph | 23:32 |
| ikonia | Majestic: don't be silly, they don't add virus's | 23:32 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, for the linux -image: Status: install ok half-configured | 23:32 |
| Blip | hey does anyone know a good firewall to knock out malware on a VMware ? | 23:33 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: ok, that is what you need to search on then.. ok? for every package that's half-configured, you need to change it to this --> Status: purge ok not-installed | 23:33 |
| Majestic | ikonia: then you have learned nothing yet and i shall leave. | 23:33 |
| ikonia | Majestic: ok | 23:33 |
| Third3ye | o.O;; | 23:33 |
| tonyyarusso | tsrk: I believe --disabled-password is analogous to what I just said. Note as it says in the adduser man page, with that option "Like --disabled-login, but logins are still possible (for example using SSH RSA keys) but not using password authentication.", whereas --disabled-login will disallow login entirely (I'm guessing but setting the shell to a null value) | 23:33 |
| Third3ye | I guess the responsibility of knowledge is being an a**hole ^^ | 23:33 |

| TestingTheTest | Tonyyarusso, i need GCC to compile certain things... like a certain ndiswrapper package. | 23:35 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: what is the name of the package showing that status? | 23:35 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, can I change the unpacked to not-installed... its the linux-restricted-modules | 23:35 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: Heya :) | 23:35 |
| destructar | i was able to pair the keyboard but it won't stay connected | 23:35 |
| tonyyarusso | TestingTheTest: and? | 23:36 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: ok, yep.. do those one too then | 23:36 |
| selkies | can someone (PM) and help me out wid connecting the external HDD on Ubuntu8.10.. i can't mount it | 23:36 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, linux-generic too | 23:36 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Probably because you're not in the right folder, why are you compiling wine instead of just installing it from the repositories? | 23:36 |
| destructar | if i hit the space bar it will connect, but no keys will respond. within 3 - 5 seconds keyboard disconnects | 23:36 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: 1.1.10 won't install 07, trying 1.1.11 | 23:36 |

| TestingTheTest | Tonyyarusso, the machine i'm trying to get GCC on doesn't have a connection... so i wanted to know if i could get all the depenencies of GCC into one convinient Debian package(*.deb) | 23:37 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Ah, office 07? Is that reported to be working on 1.1.11? | 23:37 |

| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Well if you did ./someExecutableFile and it said command not found, then ./someExecutableFile doesn't exist, which either means you mistyped it, or you're not in the correct folder | 23:39 |
| tonyyarusso | tauren: LVM options are available on the !alternate (text-only) installer disk. | 23:39 |
| ikonia | tauren: average desktop user, not really | 23:39 |
| hischild | ASULutzy, or he didn't set the executable bit. | 23:39 |

| ASULutzy | hischild, RobLikesBrunch: You're right, hadn't even considered that, try chmod +x ./whateverYouWereTryingToDo | 23:39 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Yeah, I did that already though | 23:40 |
| tauren | ikonia: so even if the average user doesn't use it, is it still a good idea to do so? | 23:40 |
| carandraug | selkies: I've been trying to understand what can be the problem. Seems that most people solved it by upgrading the ntfs-3g package but those posts are old and I find it strange for not working. Can you pastebin "ls /media/"? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | depends what you want | 23:40 |
| * Solidus0079 might be ready to say goodbye to M$ completely for home use soon | 23:40 | |

Is this 'mess' because during the upgrade... the upgrade aborted saying "/etc/fstab.pre-uuid already exists!" ? | 23:41 |
| Solidus0079 | a rest? are they frowned upon here i assume | 23:41 |
| Solidus0079 | ? | 23:41 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, heh yes | 23:41 |
| tauren | ikonia: yeah, i know... i just like the flexibility it gives me | 23:41 |
| selkies | carandraug: sure give me a sec | 23:41 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: chmod: cannot access `./home/rob/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh': No such file or directory | 23:41 |
| tauren | so i can create a shared partition that both systems could use. | 23:41 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: I don't get why that doesn't work | 23:41 |
| tauren | and i could resize the ntfs and ext3 if i need to down the road | 23:41 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: there's a file on my desktop called "install-wine-deps.sh" | 23:42 |
| ikonia | tauren: lvm has nothing to do with that | 23:42 |
| hischild | RobLikesBrunch, does the file exist? note it's case sensitive. | 23:42 |
| ubuntu | my friend put dns to resolv.conf, btu after pc restart its gone and again Ęgenerated by netw manag ( btw we uninstaled it ) , we even tried to set to read only, and then no internet at all | 23:42 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Because you don't want to do ./home | 23:42 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: strange... look at the file again. make sure your changes are still in there | 23:42 |
| ikonia | tauren: infact it has less to do with it, as windows won't be able to use an lvm shared partition | 23:42 |

| Kozeris | hischild, it wa sme asking for that question , we got internet working | 23:43 |
| hischild | RobLikesBrunch, wait, did you do it WITH that period in front of it? | 23:43 |
| needhelpplz | LTL: or they don't work right. | 23:43 |
| hischild | Kozeris, good to hear! | 23:43 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: sudo /home/rob/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh | 23:43 |
| Kozeris | so we only got that problem now | 23:43 |

| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Again ./ means current directory, you don't want that, drop the dot. | 23:45 |

| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Not fun. :P | 23:46 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: it's kinda my bad. i probably should have had you put 'install' rather than 'purge on the 'Status:' line | 23:46 |
| computer | :( | 23:46 |
| LTL | needhelpplz: you could boot a gparted cd but vista may not like that. talk to your sysadmin. | 23:46 |
| hischild | RobLikesBrunch, the period in front makes it use a relative path, whereas if you start with a dash it uses the full path. | 23:46 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: anyway, what did the apt-get command do? anything? | 23:46 |

| mindrape | nkei0 - is it enabled in BIOS? is it enabled via the switch on the laptop? does it show up in dmesg and lspci or lsusb? When you sudo iwconfig do you see any wireless interfaces? | 23:57 |
| mikejet | Anyone else seeing nonstop crashes of Firefox on Ubuntu? | 23:57 |
| hischild | nkei0, not due to a kill switch. Acer Aspire 5520, Atheros Chipset, using the latest Madwifi HAL. | 23:57 |
| mindrape | mikejet - works fine for me.. any specific pages you want me to try? | 23:57 |
| mikejet | A Crash is the grayscale screen. | 23:57 |
| alex_21 | I had an Acer, Aspire and reinstalled Hardy on it, and now the wireless works fine. Before that Hrday and wireless didn't work nicely | 23:57 |
| essial | great, disabling it :p | 23:57 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: every package that's broken... you need to make it so that the area in the file that has that package has 'only 4 lines'.... like this example --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/90356/ | 23:57 |
| mikejet | mindrape: are you on 64? | 23:57 |
| hischild | essial, don't disable stuff you don't understand. | 23:57 |
| devil | help | 23:57 |
| Seveas | mikejet, try with a fresh firefox profile/disabling all extensions/plugins. | 23:57 |
| mindrape | mikejet - 32bit here. | 23:58 |
| essial | thats why i'm asking here | 23:58 |
| nkei0 | mindrape: The bios doesn't have any access to the killswitch, it's a key on the front of the laptop. When I do iwconfig it does show that it has wireless it's just that the radio is off. | 23:58 |
| mikejet | How can you use firefox without flash and extensions? | 23:58 |
| essial | I don't use samba and have no windows systems on my network | 23:58 |
| mindrape | nkei0 - in addition to the "kill switch" can you use an Fn F6 function, as an example to turn the radio on? | 23:58 |
| nkei0 | mindrape: I don't know if it shows up in any of those message things you mentioned, I have looked at the system monitor but it doesn't post anything. | 23:58 |
| iratik | K... Guys ... I'm going to need some serious help here.... I'm looking at the auth.log ... and roughly what i see is PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_ldap.so : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] , another error in the auth.log is "PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_ldap.so" .. What is pam (i vaguely remember doing something with pam when trying to setup LDAP) ? and what might be going on ? | 23:58 |
| alex_21 | Thanks for the hlp | 23:58 |
| alex_21 | Holp, sorry | 23:59 |
| nkei0 | mindrape: Nope, fn+f6 has something to do with the screen | 23:59 |
| alex_21 | Help, sorry | 23:59 |
| ikonia | iratik: don't worry about the ldap error unless you have set up ldap, or tried to | 23:59 |
| hischild | iratik, did you use ldap on your server? | 23:59 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: let me know if you understand that, the area that describes the package can have only thos four lines that my pastebin example has | 23:59 |
| alex_21 | Good day. Shaw bash | 23:59 |
| iratik | Yeah .. at one point i did | 23:59 |
| mindrape | nkei0 - that was an example... F5? F7? etc? any of them relate to the wireless? | 23:59 |
| iratik | But when i upgraded to hardy i saw that ldap was there... didn't need it anymore... so i uninstalled ldap-auth-client | 23:59 |
| hischild | iratik, did you use it the last time on your server, or did you disable it lately, before you upgraded? | 23:59 |
| Seveas | iratik, this may have caused your auth errors | 23:59 |
| mikejet | Try newwestnotes.com and reload about 10 times. Firefox x86_64 will give you a grayscreen CRASH. | 23:59 |
| Kingsy101 | can someone please tell me the difference between ubuntu and eeebuntu? I don't know which to install on my eeepc ... | 23:59 |
| ikonia | the penny drops | 23:59 |
