| nkei0 | mindrape: not to my knowledge f1-f8 and f11 & f12 are labeled but not for wireless, could it be f9 or f10? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mikejet | I'm not being a troll == now do I FIX THIS?! | 00:00 |
| mindrape | doubtful... | 00:00 |
| * hischild hands ikonia the penny | 00:00 | |
| iratik | Maybe the system's authentication is depending on ldap-auth-client? ... But i never gotten ldap working worth a crap ... but that doesn't mean that the authnetication system wasn't depending on it some how | 00:00 |
| iratik | How do i fix this!? | 00:00 |
| hischild | nkei0, mindrape, those keys vary from brand to brand. | 00:00 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: I'd recommend the eee ubuntu, it's specifically tailored for the eeepc (it uses a window manager that maximizes screen equity among other things... The drivers are all there, etc) | 00:00 |
| iratik | How does authentication work... so i can figure out why its broken and what to do to fix it! ? | 00:00 |
| hischild | mikejet, shouting won't get you answers faster. If there's someone who wants to help, they'll help. | 00:00 |
| nkei0 | mindrape: Nope, I just tried them and they are unrelated. | 00:00 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: My fiance has the eee version of Ubuntu on her eeepc and loves it | 00:00 |
| Seveas | iratik, hopefully you still have auth-client-config installed | 00:01 |
| selkies | carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90358/ | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: i can recommend liquifox theme if you intend to run firefox | 00:01 |
| lorenzo | hi, what is a good and easy program to convert from avi to mp4 (for iPod)? I'm on Ibex. thanks | 00:01 |
| mindrape | nkei0 - hold.. lemme see if I can find something on google for your model. Acer, right? | 00:01 |
| hischild | iratik, if that's really the problem, reboot into recovery mode and reinstall.... ( Seveas, correct?) | 00:01 |
| ikonia | lorenzo: mencoder is very good | 00:01 |
| mikejet | Are any x86_64 users her happy with Firefox stability? | 00:01 |
| iratik | hischild: uh.... thats not even a remote possibility right now | 00:01 |
| Kingsy101 | ASULutzy - ah right cool, well I have a eeepc 901 and I guess I will choose eeebuntu are there any decent tutorials of how to get it installed? | 00:02 |
| mikejet | HERE | 00:02 |
| Kingsy101 | on a 901 | 00:02 |
| hischild | iratik, because? | 00:02 |
| nkei0 | mindrape: yep | 00:02 |
| Seveas | hischild, reinstalling auth-client-config or ldap-thingies will help | 00:02 |
| Kingsy101 | ActionParsnip - you can choose themes? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenzo: theres a 2 sweep set of commands that will decrease siz ebut not quality so much for mp4 | 00:02 |
| carandraug | selkies: did you unplug the external HHD for that command? | 00:02 |
| ikonia | mikejet: very happy | 00:02 |
| iratik | because its a production server and we would loose at least 2 days of data(we have backups ... but ... but... ) | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: in firefox, yes. I find the defauklt one garbage | 00:02 |
| Seveas | iratik, he meant reinstalling those packages | 00:02 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: Yea, the eee ubuntu website has it all documented, it's really really simple, there's like a one click utility that will image a usb pen drive with the iso you download from their site | 00:02 |
| iratik | Seveas: how! ? | 00:02 |
| lorenzo | ActionParsnip, a 2 sweep set of commands? | 00:02 |
| iratik | I'm at like runlevel 1 ... I don't even have "which" | 00:02 |
| ASULutzy | !eee | Kingsy101 | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Kingsy101: Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 00:03 |
| mikejet | ikonia: about 1/10 of the sites with the grayscreen. Have you ever seen grayscreen?/ | 00:03 |
| selkies | carandraug: no its still plugged | 00:03 |
| ikonia | yes, on sites with flash components | 00:03 |
| Kingsy101 | ASULutzy - isnt that tutorial about installing ubuntu rather than eeebuntu? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenzo: let me get a link | 00:03 |
| Seveas | iratik, runlevel 1 not having which? err, that's a completely different problem. That sounds like you've been uninstalling too much :) | 00:03 |
| carandraug | selkies: run the commands "sudo fdisk -l" and " ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/" one immediately after the other and pastebin it please | 00:03 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: You're right, I was just seeing what the bot had to say, go here: http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ | 00:03 |
| venky10 | how to install java on firefox in Ubuntu ? | 00:03 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, ok looks like it worked | 00:04 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: :-) | 00:04 |
| hischild | iratik, can you reboot that server, go to the recovery mode and then reinstall? | 00:04 |
| mikejet | ikonia: how do you visit cnn, huffingtonpost.com, cnn.com, abcnews.com without crashing with a flash related grayscreen? | 00:04 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, thanks, I'll have to reboot to try | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenzo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763611.html | 00:04 |
| lorenzo | ActionParsnip, thanks a lot! | 00:04 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: ok... good luck! | 00:04 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, are you really Richard Stallman? | 00:04 |
| iratik | hischild: recovery mode asks for "root password for maintenance".. I have to edit the line and switch "ro single" to "rw single init=/bin/bash" to get to root | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenzo: check the post by fakeoutdoorsman | 00:05 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: ha! inmy dreams | 00:05 |
| mikejet | I do not understand. I thought Ubuntu was much more mainstream than this. | 00:05 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: ha! in my dreams | 00:05 |
| Kingsy101 | ASULutzy - are tutorials specific to each laptop model? I found --- http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=299663 | 00:05 |
| hischild | iratik, does the root user have a password? | 00:05 |
| ikonia | mikejet: on the rare occasions I get a grey screen for flash sites a few refreshes normally fix it, it appears from what I've seen to do with a memory allocation problem with the 32bit wrapper for flash on a 64bit system | 00:05 |
| Kingsy101 | would that work? | 00:05 |
| iratik | Wait... maybe i can just reset the root passwd ? | 00:05 |
| computer | sup | 00:05 |
| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, heh, I'm not really John Zorn either ;) | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenzo: i got some 350Mb avis down to 135Mb | 00:05 |
| iratik | passwd root? .. and hope that the silly ldap issue doesn't occur when authneticating for root maintenance? | 00:05 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: so we're even then! :P lol | 00:05 |
| selkies | carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90362/ | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !root | iratik | 00:06 |
| ubottu | iratik: 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 | 00:06 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: Just go to http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ and click download, they've made it so simple to do. You just download the iso, and then run the application that you can download via the download link, there's nothing to it | 00:06 |
| Tonno | I put a .gif picture as a background but the .gif picture do look like the .gif at all, it just look like a normal picture, does GNOME do no support .gif picture? | 00:06 |
| mikejet | ikonia: doing "killall npviewer.bin" fixes most sites == look I'm a developer and I want to help. This is crashing All The Time. What is the bug? I don't understand. | 00:06 |
| hischild | iratik, possible yes. Another way would be to use the LiveCD and chroot to your real system. | 00:06 |
| iratik | ActionParsnip: .... if it is asking me for "root password for maintenance" that usually means the root account is enabled | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: install imagemagick, then run: convert <file.gif> <file.png> | 00:07 |
| third3ye | How do I disable the system beep? | 00:07 |
| hischild | iratik, the root account ought to be disabled on Ubuntu systems. | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: then run the command you want with sudo or gksudo | 00:07 |
| lorenzo | ActionParsnip, I am very clumsy with command line, any chance of a program that has a GUI? thanks : ) | 00:07 |
| ikonia | mikejet: npviewer is the 32bit "wrapper" for the 64bit os. | 00:07 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip: Why? | 00:07 |
| GotLinux | lol. | 00:07 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: But to answer your question, it works across all the various eeepc, again you just get the iso, run the app which will put it on a usb to make the usb bootable, plug it in and run it, it was very very simple | 00:07 |
| Kingsy101 | ASULutzy - ah right nice one.. cool, ermm what about installing it on the eeepc is that just sefl explanatory or are there things to be careful about? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: converts the file to something ubuntu definately can use. Im unsure of gif support for wallpaper | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenzo: you can copy / paste to terminal | 00:08 |
| gnahh | what's the name of 8.10 | 00:08 |
| iratik | ActionParsnip: you clearly haven't been paying attention to what is going on .... Authentication is broken buddy... Its depending on pam_ldap.so ... the system wide authentication system that lets you do sudo ... login as anything etc... is broken | 00:08 |
| ikonia | mikejet: from what I've read and researched on the matter it appears that if there is not enough sequential memory slots in the hash map for the player it doesn't open the pluging correclty, which I'm told and haven't checked is because of how a hash map can differ between 32/64bit os | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | gnahh: intrepid | 00:08 |
| gnahh | thanks | 00:08 |
| Tonno | how can I put a .gif picture on GNOME as a background? | 00:08 |
| ikonia | mikejet: part of that is personal research, part of that is depending on input from others | 00:08 |
| mikejet | ikonia: I can write 64-bit c-code. | 00:08 |
| ikonia | mikejet: how is that going to help ? | 00:08 |
| iratik | hischild: here is what i'm going to do ... I went to /etc/pam.d and did "grep -R ldap . " i'm going to comment out all mentions of pam_ldap.so | 00:08 |
| carandraug | selkies: that is strange and I don't know what it means. Add in your post in the ubuntu forums that the partition does not appear when you list "/dev/disk/by-uuid/" and show them the output of "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/" | 00:09 |
| hischild | iratik, don't, not now ... It might even break it more. | 00:09 |
| hischild | iratik, reinstall the ldap thingies first that you didn't do before. | 00:09 |
| iratik | I can always uncomment these lines | 00:09 |
| iratik | lol | 00:09 |
| selkies | carandraug: ok... will do it | 00:09 |
| mikejet | ikonia: I'm flabbergasted that other x86_64 users don't care about Firefox crashing on 10% of websites. | 00:09 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: heh, I know that this stuff can seem daunting, but honestly, this one isn't, just go to http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ then click download, then hit direct download or torrent download (your preference), and then either get the Windows or Linux utility (this utility does everything for you, it copies the .iso cd image to the USB pen drive and makes it bootable) once it does that, you just plug the USB pen drive in and the rest is | 00:10 |
| hischild | iratik, and cost you more time, yes. | 00:10 |
| carandraug | selkies: sorry, I can't be of more help | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: use opera | 00:10 |
| ikonia | mikejet: they do care, but it is a minor issue and how do you suggest it gets fixed ? | 00:10 |
| selkies | carandraug: its alright.. i am glad atleast u gave a shot.. | 00:10 |
| mikejet | ikonia: How does this get fixed? I can write code. I don't know. | 00:11 |
| shadowx | Grrr...TightVNC comes up..but the desktop is all gray | 00:11 |
| ikonia | mikejet: what code do think will fix it ? | 00:11 |
| ASULutzy | mikejet: Submit a patch then :) | 00:11 |
| ikonia | mikejet: adobe flash is closed source, | 00:11 |
| CyberCod | I need some help doing reverse dun over bluetooth for a treo 650... anyone done this before? | 00:11 |
| shadowx | If anyone needs help with something small...I may be able to assist.. | 00:11 |
| ikonia | mikejet: if your a developer, walk the problem through and fix it, if you think you can | 00:11 |
| Kingsy101 | ASULutzy - alrite, thanks for your help! :) | 00:12 |
| mikejet | ikonia: I have never seen a disclaimer on Firefox that says Flash is not supported. Everyone says it works swimmingly. | 00:12 |
| ASULutzy | ikonia, mikejet: What's the word on the new 64 bit flash that was released for Linux, I remember reading an announcement in November about it | 00:12 |
| wunnymush | !gettext install | 00:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gettext install | 00:12 |
| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: No problem, good luck | 00:12 |
| RobLikesBrunch | Is there anyway for me to write a start-up script so I don't have to press alt+f2 and the type emerald --replace | 00:12 |
| CyberCod | !bluetooth | 00:12 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 00:12 |
| CyberCod | !treo | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about treo | 00:13 |
| ikonia | mikejet: what are you talking about, flash is supported and nothing to do with flash | 00:13 |
| lorenzo | ActionParsnip, I think I once used some kind of GUI for ffmpeg, am i mistaken? | 00:13 |
| ozgurgerilla | hi all, my Atheros card doesn't work can someone help me please, i've tried nearly anything | 00:13 |
| ikonia | ASULutzy: a positive beta release package | 00:13 |
| wunnymush | somebody here who knows how to install gettext? | 00:13 |
| ikonia | mikejet: sorry, nothing to do with firefox | 00:13 |
| ikonia | wunnymush: should be installed by default | 00:13 |
| onetinsoldier | mikejet: i haven't followed the whole conversation. flash is working ok for me though. what's a site that causes it to crash? | 00:13 |
| mikejet | ikonia: I know I can't because all the Ubuntu and Linux blogs have "answers" which come back dated from 2006. Seriously, do Ubuntu Help searches. | 00:13 |
| hischild | !info gettext | 00:14 |
| ubottu | gettext (source: gettext): GNU Internationalization utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 0.17-3ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 1937 kB, installed size 7668 kB | 00:14 |
| DaveF | Newbie here, I know Win XP well, but this is my FIRST hour ever with Xubuntu. I am trying to see if the SD card reader on my HP nc8430 notebook can read my new 4 GB SDHC card....thanks. | 00:14 |
| ikonia | wunnymush: the package is called gettext, install it through the package manager | 00:14 |
| hischild | wunnymush, sudo aptitude install gettext <-- ? | 00:14 |
| ikonia | mikejet: this isn't an ubuntu issue | 00:14 |
| wunnymush | ikonia: i try to install geany text editor, and i got a message that says gettext not found | 00:14 |
| huxl3y_ | Does anyone know what this means - | 00:14 |
| huxl3y_ | If after everything you see a network but it doesn't connect | 00:14 |
| huxl3y_ | You might want to try changing the WPA Supplicant on your network manager to wext. On wicd it's the first option when you go into Preferences. | 00:14 |
| wunnymush | aha | 00:14 |
| ikonia | mikejet: this is an issue with flash and the 32bit wrapper for 64bit OS's | 00:14 |
| huxl3y_ | I'm not sure where those prefrences are | 00:14 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Yea, startup scripts aren't hard, just google Ubuntu startup script, basically you write the script, add it to /etc/init.d/ and also to /etc/rc#.d/ with a special prefix | 00:14 |
| wunnymush | ok, thanks | 00:15 |
| mikejet | Ubuntu designers really need to "obsolete" answers to searches from before 2005. Really. Those forum answers are worth than worthless. | 00:15 |
| ozgurgerilla | hi all, my Atheros card doesn't work can someone help me please, i've tried nearly anything | 00:15 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Ok, thanks again. Also, what exactly is the box that appears when you press alt+f2? | 00:15 |
| ikonia | mikejet: no, you need to not take answers from old discussions/relesease | 00:15 |
| mindrape | mikejet - well you can google and restrict the year... there are some OLD tricks that never die which are captured in those forums. | 00:15 |
| mikejet | Good grief. "worse than worseless" I meant. | 00:15 |
| hischild | ozgurgerilla, have you tried getting the latest madwifi-hal? | 00:15 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: I just installed an emerald theme, and in the guide it said to type emerald --replace after pressing alt + f2 | 00:15 |
| ikonia | mikejet: common sense for a developer as you say you are would to not be to blindly apply 2 year old fixes/solutions to a current operating system | 00:15 |
| ozgurgerilla | hischild: i've tried that but don't know how to install it | 00:16 |
| hischild | ozgurgerilla, you have the source package? | 00:16 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: ..and I don't like doing that every start up, thus the need for the script! :) | 00:16 |
| mikejet | ikonia, mindrape: No, all those 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 blog answers show up in Google searches. That is wrong. | 00:16 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: alt+f2 is just a shortcut way to enter a command, saves you the time of opening a terminal window basically | 00:16 |
| CyberCod | I need some help doing reverse dun over bluetooth for a treo 650 | 00:16 |
| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| ozgurgerilla | hischild: no can you provide me the site please and how to install it | 00:16 |
| ikonia | mikejet: no it's not, they are valid posts, don't use them if you don't feel they are appropriate | 00:16 |
| mindrape | mikejet - you apparently didn't read what I typed. You can filter out based on year using google. | 00:16 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Actually, you might not need a startup script, you might be able to do it even more easily, one sec | 00:17 |
| ikonia | this is getting offtopic | 00:17 |
| === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy | ||
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Ok, thanks. | 00:17 |
| mindrape | mikejet - and like I said earlier... the approaches and some of the commands to troubleshoot are NEVER going to change. | 00:17 |
| mikejet | ikonia: How do I fix Firefox x86_x64? Please supply links | 00:17 |
| ikonia | mikejet: there ins't a fix, mail adobe | 00:17 |
| mikejet | ikonia: Thank you. That IS an answer. | 00:17 |
| rulethirty | hello i have the following problem writing files as a user of a group that has write permissions on a directory. please see the following details: http://pastie.org/344579 | 00:17 |
| Anna3 | what directory are all the applications i installed in | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: it helps if you remove java plugins and install 64bit flash | 00:18 |
| rulethirty | i must have some fundamental misunderstanding of linux permissions | 00:18 |
| rulethirty | but everything i have "seems" right | 00:18 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: not a great call as it doesn't work out of the box on ubuntu | 00:18 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, What? | 00:18 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: now you've opened a can of worms | 00:18 |
| DaveF | Where can I get some help with my SD card reader? | 00:18 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, The goal of endusers is to USE internet. | 00:18 |
| hischild | ozgurgerilla, i'm sorry, i don't have the link around anymore. | 00:19 |
| ikonia | rulethirty: that dir has the stickybit | 00:19 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: I think you can just right click on applications, (in the top left), then hit edit menu, click system tools, and then check "Configuration Editor", then hit close, then click applications -> System tools -> Configuration editor, from there, click desktop -> applications -> window manager and change the default to /usr/bin/emerald | 00:19 |
| rulethirty | ikonia, i know; on purpose | 00:19 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: I think that should work | 00:19 |
| ikonia | rulethirty: thats why you can't write, it's owned by root | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: yuo can, in my experience java makes 64bit browsers a bit flaky | 00:19 |
| rulethirty | i want to group to remain | 00:19 |
| ozgurgerilla | ActionParnip: can you please help me resolve my Atheros wireless card, nothing seems to work. | 00:19 |
| ePax | How do i add new guest account on my comp but withouth password for logging in and with limited access? | 00:19 |
| rulethirty | ikonia, the users owner is root | 00:19 |
| ozgurgerilla | hischild: I found it, what do I do now? | 00:19 |
| DaveF | Help! | 00:19 |
| rulethirty | ikonia, but the group is users | 00:19 |
| rulethirty | ikonia, so why would i not be able to write | 00:20 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, Good for you for finding a great OS and a great BROWSER. Really. In this time of year everyone deserves to be satisfied and happy. Good for you. | 00:20 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Ok- trying it now | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: installing 64bit flash on a 64bit system rather than 32bit on 64bit hardware can help too | 00:20 |
| hischild | ozgurgerilla, download the package, follow the instructions on how to install. Sorry i can't be of help, i need to go. | 00:20 |
| rulethirty | ikonia, if the user is in the group "users" | 00:20 |
| ikonia | rulethirty: no it's not | 00:20 |
| ikonia | rulethirty: ohn adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: ive no idea what you mean or what your point is | 00:20 |
| ikonia | rulethirty: there is no "users" written on there | 00:20 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, Exactly. | 00:20 |
| rulethirty | oh? | 00:21 |
| ikonia | gents, lets take this flash ramble else where | 00:21 |
| ASULutzy | ikonia: How is that beta 64 bit flash you mentioned? Worth using, or do you think it's best to hold off | 00:21 |
| rulethirty | wtf | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: all i can do is advise based on personal experience so lose the attitude | 00:21 |
| ikonia | ASULutzy: it's interesting to use, but not mainstream ready | 00:21 |
| DaveF | Help help help please! | 00:21 |
| ikonia | ASULutzy: getting there, very positive beta | 00:21 |
| third3ye | Ok, so my computer keeps freezing randomly -- the kern.log doesn't seem to pick up anything but I'm not sure that I can decipher the log so well | 00:21 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Done. Thanks a lot :) | 00:21 |
| third3ye | What logs should I upload to diagnose my problem? Theres to many of them in /var/log | 00:22 |
| wunnymush | success! i found out that it was in in my packages list | 00:22 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: No problem, I think that works anyway ;) I used that to change my default window manager to metacity from compiz, so I guess setting it to emerald should work too? | 00:22 |
| wiijii | Anyone iptables whizzes here? I'm having a strange problem with dropping and logging if someone could help | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: ive had forefox flakey as hell, after pulling java out which I rarely use ever it was a hell load better | 00:22 |
| CyberCod | I need some help doing reverse dun over bluetooth for a treo 650 | 00:22 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, Agreed. I DO lose the attitude and lose Ubuntu when browsing internet. Flash exists. Deal with it. | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: you could also try apt-building it, its made my firefox significantly slicker | 00:22 |
| ASULutzy | ikonia: Cool, good to know... I use 64 bit on the desktop, but my desktop is more of a headless server these days than anything else, so Flash hasn't really been a significant concern | 00:22 |
| filsuf | hallo all ... so what's the SOLUTION for Intrepid issue with VMWare? | 00:23 |
| DaveF | Ok screw ubuntu, I'm going back to Windows XP, where at least there is a sign of intelligence and I can get some help | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: you didnt read what I said. Install the 64bit release from www.adobe.com will give you 64bit flash | 00:23 |
| mindrape | lol DaveF | 00:23 |
| ikonia | DaveF: ok,bye | 00:23 |
| ASULutzy | filsuf: I'd suggest being more specific | 00:23 |
| Tanuki-kun | Hi all =) | 00:23 |
| wiijii | heh | 00:23 |
| wiijii | So, no IPtables gurus around? Anyone who could take a quick look at my script to see if they can glean something of use? | 00:23 |
| filsuf | Intrepid screws VMWare .... it's well known ... is there already a solution? | 00:23 |
| ikonia | wiijii: try #netfilter or #iptables | 00:23 |
| wiijii | It's such an annoying issue | 00:23 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, I have done that. Please do that yourself. It simply does not work (capitalize that). | 00:23 |

| ikonia | wiijii: they are very good | 00:24 |
| filsuf | you experience that eseven73 ? | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: if you remove the 32bit version and no doubt nspluginwrapper | 00:24 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Well if it doesn't, I'll just figure out how to write a script. | 00:24 |
| mindrape | wiijii - we can take a look then but that isn't the primary purpose of this channel... pastebin please. | 00:24 |
| wunnymush | somebody knows how i can get a flash chat to completely run all the features in Linux? | 00:24 |
| iratik | Okay... I found out that there is an "auth-client-config" on this system | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: and use that, you'll have nice flash runing properly | 00:24 |
| eseven73 | filsuf: yep using vmware server on 8.04 as we speak | 00:24 |
| Tanuki-kun | Anyone had problemes with dual boot and 8.10 ? | 00:24 |
| wiijii | yeah I do realise, and I've asked extensively on #iptables | 00:24 |
| eseven73 | and virtualbox | 00:24 |
| ozgurgerilla | can someone help me sort the madwifi? | 00:24 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Yea, that isn't hard either, basically the script would just be #!/usr/bin/bash emerald --replace, and then you'd place it in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rd#.d/ with a special prefix, no biggie | 00:25 |
| iratik | Can i just remove the file containing all the ldap stuff from /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d ? | 00:25 |
| filsuf | screw this 8.10 | 00:25 |
| filsuf | no issue with 8.04 eseven73 ? | 00:25 |
| bazhang | filsuf, any reason to use vmware over vbox? | 00:25 |
| ASULutzy | filsuf: You came in, didn't describe what problem you are actually experiencing, and now 8.10 is the devil? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | filsuf: then why did you upgrade? | 00:25 |
| perlsyntax | Has anyone install wow with wine on unbuntu 8.10? | 00:25 |
| mikejet | ActionParsnip, Ok. I realize you are trying to help, but no. No. No. I have tried that for months ( capitalizes that ). | 00:25 |
| filsuf | if you dont know the issue ASULutzy ... that means you dont know ... ok | 00:25 |

| eseven73 | 8.10 was released a bit too early just my two cents, i know its not welcomed here, so im shutting up now :) | 00:26 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Ok, thanks again. I need to learn sometime anyway- I really like Ubuntu, I think I'll keep it :) | 00:26 |
| ikonia | filsuf: tell you what - #vmware is the correct place to get support for that product, so take it there if you are going to talk to #ubuntu users like that | 00:26 |

| ASULutzy | filsuf: Because there's only one potential anyone could be experiencing when combining VMWare and Intrepid 8.10, got it, thanks for clarifying | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mikejet: tried what? | 00:26 |
| bazhang | filsuf, without providing specifics you wont get help here; please provide a clear description of the issues you are experiencing | 00:26 |
| filsuf | 8.10 runs on experimental kernel ... I was so dumb that I didnt check that first | 00:26 |
| mikejet | Please purge forum / blog posts from old Ubnuntu versions. Or at least make Recent ubuntu forum posts show up on google first. What Freaking Ever. | 00:26 |
| ikonia | filsuf: no it doesn't | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | filsuf: you fixed something that wasnt broke | 00:26 |
| ikonia | filsuf: it runs on a stable kernel | 00:26 |
| ASULutzy | filsuf: The Ubuntu kernel is stable. | 00:27 |

| VioletsPie | ASULutzy: Nope. I just get scoulded for it all the time | 00:27 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Oh wait- one more question. Is there a task manager equivalent to Ubuntu...so you can force quit programs? | 00:27 |

| RobLikesBrunch | Found myself needing one before :P | 00:27 |
| Tanuki-kun | GRUB doesn't see Windows XP at all. | 00:27 |
| bazhang | Arrowhead212002, dont do that | 00:27 |
| eseven73 | mikejet: theres a trick to that, just type Ubuntu 8.10 after your google search, so like 'vmware help + Ubuntu 8.10' that should eliminate most old, outdated posts | 00:28 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: There is "System Monitor" which I think is in system tools, but that's really just a GUI front end for top and kill | 00:28 |
| ikonia | eseven73: he's long gone | 00:28 |
| eseven73 | ah :/ | 00:28 |
| venky10 | RobLikesBrunch : there is an application that you can add to the panel called Force Quit | 00:28 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: I would suggest doing a bit of reading on the man pages for top and kill and pkill | 00:28 |
| iratik | Can someone please give me a hand ? I need someone to check their /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d directory for an "example_local" profile within one of the files.. I need that entry to restore the authentication system back to its "pre ldap/nss" glory | 00:28 |
| Tanuki-kun | I installed exactly like previous versions of Ubuntu and now it doesn't work =P | 00:28 |
| ASULutzy | just man top, man kill, and man pkill inside of a terminal, it'd be stuff worth knowing | 00:28 |
| wunnymush | i have problem with a flash chat that i'm using...some of the features are missing....how can i solve this problem? | 00:28 |

| Kingsy101 | ASULutzy - one more quick question if thats ok, I was looking at some ubuntu-eee screenshots, is it difficult once its installed to change the theme of it so it looks more like regular ubuntu? | 00:29 |
| ASULutzy | iratik: I don't have an /etc/auth-client-config/ | 00:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | ozgurgerilla: are you still working on that, you shouldn't need madwifi | 00:29 |
| _bryce | only rebooting seems to work which is pretty absurd | 00:29 |
| iratik | ASULutzy: you may not ... but thanks for looking? | 00:29 |

| ASULutzy | Kingsy101: I hadn't actually tried to do that, but I'm sure you can just apt-get remove it | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | ozgurgerilla: did you install those backports like i told you? | 00:30 |
| wunnymush | Guiri: yes, thats what i'm saying | 00:30 |

| nagchampa | does the oem install mode allow you to install updates and such during install? | 00:35 |

| hyperb0lix | ActionParsnip: I guess I was right, and my friend was wrong... chmod a+x is the same as +x; +x is just less typing | 00:36 |
| ozgurgerilla | IndyGunFreak: so now do I just type the sudo at any directory? | 00:36 |
| hyperb0lix | ActionParsnip: Last time I take anyone's word as truth :P | 00:36 |
| Tanuki-kun | ActionParsnip: I made partitions for /, /home, swap and Windows | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperb0lix: a+x will allow ALL to run, +x will only allow execution if you have read acces | 00:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | yes, just copy paste that line in a terminal | 00:36 |

| ASULutzy | gnurph: Use sudo? | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gnurph: use sudo for commands requiring admin power | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gnurph: or use sudo -i to get a root terminal | 00:38 |
| ozgurgerilla | I don't know why | 00:38 |

| ASULutzy | computer: If you had to enter a long series of commands as root, it'd be a lot easier to just have a root terminal instead of typing sudo over and over | 00:39 |
| gnurph | bah - I forgot about the -i option; I was just trying it with a dash and the su was failing. been a while. thanks actionparsnip | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | computer: saves lazy people typing sudo, even though its a better practice | 00:39 |
| Tanuki-kun | Anyway when typing sudo it grants you the root powers for some time. | 00:40 |

| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: install ubuntu first, leave unpartitioned space at the start of the drive, install windows to there, then reinstall grub froma live cd | 00:42 |
| ASULutzy | Tanuki-kun: I would recommend installing XP first, once XP is installed, installing Ubuntu, Ubuntu should do most of the stuff automatically as far as the grub install goes, so long as you make sure it isn't set to "use entire disk" | 00:42 |

| ernestas | 8.10 kubuntu, resolution always resets after restart please help | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Tanuki-kun: does it boot ubuntu OK? | 00:45 |
| Tanuki-kun | nagchampa: Everytime i installed Ubuntu it detected Windows automatically =) | 00:46 |
| ASULutzy | Tanuki-kun: And you made sure you didn't just install over XP, (do sudo fdisk -l and paste the output to a pastebin, want to make sure that Windows is still actually installed) | 00:46 |
| Tanuki-kun | IndyGunFreak: Yes | 00:46 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: perhapss, but if you install ubuntu first, it's not there for it tto detect | 00:46 |
| third3ye | Hey! Anyone had crash/freeze problems with the latest nvidia driver? | 00:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Tanuki-kun: have you tried reinstall grub from the Live CD? | 00:46 |
| Tanuki-kun | ASULutzy: I made separate partitions | 00:46 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: it's not grub detecting xp, it's the ubuntu installer | 00:46 |
| ernestas | me had, got error fatal | 00:46 |
| Tanuki-kun | IndyGunFreak: I tried to install it two times | 00:46 |
| ASULutzy | Tanuki-kun: So just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a line for Windows? | 00:46 |
| ikonia | wunnymush: I've just connected fine | 00:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Tanuki-kun: are you sure you didn't overwrite XP? | 00:46 |
| ikonia | wunnymush: what is missing ? | 00:46 |
| clouder`grr | jigp: also make sure you have libk3b3-extracodecs if you plan on burning mp3 | 00:46 |
| idleone_ | ernestas, #kubuntu | 00:46 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: if you listen to me i'm trying to explain it to you | 00:47 |
| Tanuki-kun | nagchampa: No, because it detected it in the "import settings" thing | 00:47 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 00:47 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: yes, that's part of the ubuntu installer | 00:47 |
| nagchampa | or whatever | 00:47 |
| nagchampa | it's not a grub feature | 00:47 |
| nagchampa | grub will not automatically detect windows xp | 00:47 |
| sweetgum | can someone tell me what the package name is to install java | 00:47 |
| computer | can any1 answer me | 00:47 |
| Tanuki-kun | nagchampa: It did with 8.04 | 00:47 |

| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 00:47 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: that wasn't grub doing it | 00:47 |
| ASULutzy | nagchampa, Tanuki-kun: It usually does automatically detect it in my experience, but even if it didn't, all he has to do is add a few lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst if Windows is actually still there | 00:48 |
| Tanuki-kun | nagchampa, ASULutzy : It is there | 00:48 |
| meekatro1 | i'm logging in to my machine through ssh, i have my banner set up but then below that the text "ubuntu comes with no warranty" etc etc comes up.. how can i get rid of that or change it | 00:48 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: ubuntu would have been detecting it atg some stage and automatically updating your menu.lst file | 00:48 |
| nagchampa | read this | 00:48 |
| ASULutzy | Tanuki-kun: And what happens when you try to boot it? | 00:48 |

| FloodBot2 | nagchampa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:48 |
| ASULutzy | nagchampa: He's saying that the grub entry for Windows is already there. | 00:48 |
| nagchampa | screw you floodbot2, just because i can type fast | 00:48 |
| Tanuki-kun | ASULutzy: I cant, i dont have any windows entry in GRUB | 00:48 |
| wunnymush | ikonia: when i click one of the rooms it should come a small window whit multiple choices to select other rooms | 00:49 |
| nagchampa | ASULutzy: as he just said, there's no entry | 00:49 |
| clouder`grr | meekatro1: I think that's in /etc/motd | 00:49 |

| Weili | thank you, ASULutzy and idleone_: i found them in /tmp... there was no .transmission folder | 00:49 |
| Tanuki-kun | But windows is still there, i mounted the partition to check | 00:49 |
| ASULutzy | Tanuki-kun: Huh? then why did you tell me it was there? Look, just copy paste /boot/grub/menu.lst to a pastebin | 00:49 |

| ncfi1013_ | hi. my desktop widget is frozen. is there a way that i can kill it using system processes and then put a new desktop widget in its place? | 00:49 |

| meekatro1 | clouder`grr: thanks | 00:50 |
| Tanuki-kun | nagchampa: Thanks for the link, i'm trying that | 00:50 |
| ASULutzy | Tanuki-kun: ... I'm asking you to paste it, to a pastebin, so I can paste you back the modified file... Just paste the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst and also the output of sudo fdisk -l | 00:50 |
| Tanuki-kun | !pastebin | 00:51 |
| IdleOne | !paste | 00:51 |

| onetinsoldier | have we lost ubottu | 00:51 |
| IdleOne | you killed it | 00:51 |
| onetinsoldier | ? | 00:51 |
| ASULutzy | nagchampa: I'm almost 100% sure that while installing Ubuntu the several times I've done it, it's detected Windows automatically and configured my grub menu accordingly | 00:51 |
| bazhang | paste.ubuntu.com | 00:51 |
| Tanuki-kun | xD | 00:51 |
| johannes_ | hi I want to shutdown hardy, but when I click on the little red button all I can do is suspend and hibernate there is no shutdown button what can I do? | 00:52 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 00:52 |
| ASULutzy | nagchampa: But I guess clearly it didn't do it for him... I'm hoping he didn't accidentally explode his Windows install | 00:52 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Hi again. I installed wine...but it didn't make an entry in the Applications menu..where do I find it/how do I get it therE? | 00:52 |
| ASULutzy | johannes_: sudo shutdown -h now would work | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobLikesBrunch: it probably won't, until you install an application in wine | 00:52 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: you could do "which wine" | 00:52 |
| Tanuki-kun | ASULutzy: I think the boot thing of windows is lost xD | 00:52 |
| johannes_ | thats ok for me, but my grandma wont understand | 00:52 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASUSLutzy: Which wine? | 00:53 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: Yea, type that in a terminal | 00:53 |
| RobLikesBrunch | IndyGunFreak: So that app will show up then? | 00:53 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: ok | 00:53 |
| IdleOne | johannes_, try removing it from the panel then re-add it | 00:53 |
| nagchampa | Tanuki-kun: windows uses two locations for different parts of its' bootloader | 00:53 |
| nagchampa | the mbr and also the partitions boot record | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobLikesBrunch: most likely, open a terminal and type "wine --version" no quotes, and if it kicks bacfk a version, then its installed | 00:53 |
| johannes_ | ok | 00:53 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ASULutzy: Oh, cool. right | 00:53 |
| nagchampa | so long as you don't touch your XP partition, you juts need to chainload to it from grub | 00:53 |
| RobLikesBrunch | IndyGunFreak: Yeah, it is. 1.1.11 :) | 00:54 |
| AndreasMadrid | hi! I have a problem: Can't get my microphone to work under ubuntu. I have an HP Laptop with an integrated microphone. dobple click on volume always show the right symbol muted, i unmute it, but next tiem i open it it#s muted again | 00:54 |
| usser | RobLikesBrunch, wine itself is not a program more like framework/emulation layer, it doesnt have a gui, well it does for configuration, so theres no need for applications entry. To install/run windows program type wine program.exe | 00:54 |
| ASULutzy | RobLikesBrunch: cool, looks like it's installed, you should just be able to do wine /the/path/to/some/file.exe | 00:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobLikesBrunch: ok, so its installed, most likely, when you install an App, you'll get a "Wine" entry, under Applications.. at least I did. | 00:54 |

| adaptr | AndreasMadrid: you can't, as it doesn't matter | 01:03 |
| nagchampa | ehazlett: there will be a section with a series of lines like "c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux" (that's actually from my gentoo machine, but thye should be similar) | 01:04 |
| AndreasMadrid | adaptr and how can i make my microphone work under ubuntu then? | 01:04 |
| ehazlett | nagchampa: yeah, in /etc/inittab, but ubuntu doesn't have that... they use upstart, and i don't know what the equivalent is... | 01:04 |
| third3ye | How do I find out if my freezes/crashes are driver/hardware related? | 01:04 |
| adaptr | the *microphone* doesn't need working, it's the microphone INPUT that has to work | 01:04 |
| nagchampa | oh, i'm not sure then | 01:04 |
| ehazlett | nagchampa: thanks though... | 01:05 |
| AndreasMadrid | adaptr and how do i get the microphone INPUT to work? | 01:05 |
| adaptr | AndreasMadrid: does your soundcard work ? | 01:05 |
| AndreasMadrid | adaptr: dunno if fully under ubuntu. but i can hear sounds, watch videos, ... | 01:06 |
| adaptr | then increase the volume for the microphone input until stuff starts happening | 01:07 |

| SJr|Nbook | I have been playing with Kubuntu on my new Netbook, and it's become clear to me that KDE hogs too much realstate on the screen, and too many of it's dialogs are too wide for it. What is are some other managers to try? | 01:23 |

| johnzorn | onetinsoldier, updating from 7.10 to8.04 broke my wireless, thats why I'm asking | 01:24 |
| onetinsoldier | johnzorn: nice. did you have to back out the custom boot or whatever it was that you had done? | 01:24 |
| eseven73 | SJr|Nbook: xubuntu is nice 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' | 01:25 |

| nagchampa | how can i manually disable them? | 01:36 |
| bazhang | !minimal | chanibal | 01:36 |
| ubottu | chanibal: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:36 |
| gizmo | ok2.. | 01:36 |
| gizmo | sorry.. | 01:36 |
| chanibal | thanks, ubottu, googled for that a good time and could not find any official image | 01:37 |
| gizmo | bazhang, what is server ubuntu for..?there is an option..dekstop and server.. | 01:37 |
| bazhang | chanibal, it is 9mb iso | 01:37 |
| gizmo | chanibal, user a burn image.. | 01:37 |
| gizmo | *use | 01:37 |
| Firefishe | Heya onetinsoldier, CntrySheepFahker: Well, that taught me one thing: Don't start compiz on a whim. I lost my entire desktop focus and had to restart the x server | 01:37 |
| incubii | 9mb?! thats smaller then debians, damn | 01:37 |
| bazhang | gizmo, please dont chat here. | 01:37 |
| chanibal | hm... thats a bit smaller than i wanted | 01:37 |
| chanibal | probably just a busybox and a kernel | 01:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: roger... hehe. live and let learn | 01:38 |
| pumpkinseed | i am trying to install DeepShredder (a chess program) in Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. The install script says that "no usable Java-Installation was found" but I have Java 1.6 installed. Could anyone help? | 01:38 |
| amt2 | hi, my ubuntu currently has no sound. it was working properly and then after some point it just didn't work, and I don't directly changed any settings. any help would be appreciated. thanks | 01:38 |
| chanibal | and of course some apt | 01:38 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: lol, I had compiz freeze my pc today. | 01:38 |
| bazhang | chanibal, you will need a net connection to get that minimal going of course | 01:38 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: I kept hitting min/max fast as I can to finally c the fire flame. | 01:38 |
| third3ye | None of my wlan devices work -- I have one PCI card (Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps) and a USB dongle (DWL-G122 802.11g rev. B1). The networks are discovered and the network manager tries to connect but it scrambles the WPA code for some strange reason | 01:38 |
| chanibal | ok, so maybe i'm going from the wrong direction here, i want a bare system, but a usable one - it's for a openbox installation | 01:38 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: Well, let's get back to your mouse scroll issue. | 01:39 |
| chanibal | so xorg and stuff will be needed anyway | 01:39 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: sure | 01:39 |
| AndreasMadrid | ok gotta go | 01:39 |
| incubii | chanibal, why not install the server image then install the xorg package afterwards ? | 01:39 |
| chanibal | there was once a virtual package base-system or ubuntu-base or smth, it was kind of what i wanted | 01:39 |
| bazhang | chanibal, if you want a light distro with x included then fluxbuntu or xubuntu would be it | 01:39 |
| chanibal | the server image isn't the same ubuntu, the kernel and other stuff is a bit different | 01:40 |
| chanibal | plus fluxbuntu is bad for what i need it, i know, i have it on my craptop | 01:40 |
| chanibal | through it's still way better than the openbox ubuntu variation | 01:40 |
| bazhang | chanibal, you could also try lxde if you want light yet functional | 01:40 |
| chanibal | the thing is i want a normal, not altered in any strange way bare ubuntu system | 01:41 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: Try this: Applications->System Tools->System Settings | 01:41 |
| chanibal | maybe i'll get the xubuntu and throw away stuff | 01:41 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: When that dialog comes up, under System Administration at the bottom of the page, select Keyboard and Mouse | 01:41 |
| Rabbitbunny | stupid question, where the heck is search? asin, my files. | 01:42 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: k | 01:42 |
| jtaji | chanibal: sounds like you want to start with the minimal cd and go from there | 01:42 |
| chanibal | actually it'd be best if i started with a system with xorg and the all the base utils but no x software or window manager | 01:43 |
| Havelock | hi there | 01:43 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: nothing listed in system settings just a search bar at tom | 01:43 |
| CntrySheepFahker | top | 01:43 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: It's under the Advanced tab. | 01:43 |
| chanibal | xubuntu was a fine distro for me, but it got some weight in the last year and the machine it's going into is not too good (1GHz P3, 384 RAM, Radeon R200) | 01:44 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: Probably need some additional packages. | 01:44 |
| chanibal | plus all the needless packages | 01:44 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: maybe | 01:45 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: Have you considered installing the `ubuntu-desktop' meta package? That will probably do a lot for your desktop experience. May take a bit on a slow connection. If you want to do it, just do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 01:45 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: Otherwise, I'm at the end of my skill set for this particular problem without further research | 01:46 |
| chanibal | ok, another question, anyone seen a good, working media center that doesn't mess up the system and is installable in ubuntu that works well on crappy hardware? | 01:46 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: actually as we been talking I downloaded kubuntu-desktop | 01:46 |
| chanibal | i mean a bare mediacenter - just movies and music, no tvtuner or stuff | 01:46 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: I like gnome interface though lol, kde looks like windows to me | 01:46 |
| CntrySheepFahker | firefishe: Thx for ur help though | 01:46 |
| Firefishe | CntrySheepFahker: Well, kde 4.1 is okay, although it lacks the maturity and functionality of kde 3.5.9/10. I"m a kde man myself, as I just like the environment better. Gnome is fine, too, and works well. | 01:46 |
| incubii | chanibal, you could install the desktop option then just remove gnome ? | 01:47 |
| Decepticon | how to replace this line .... X-WR-CALNAME:Gainesville\, FL Weather - By Weather Underground ...... with X-WR-CALNAME:Weather for 32601 ..... can i use sed 's/X-WR-CALNAME:Gainesville\, FL Weather - By Weather Underground/X-WR-CALNAME:Weather for 32601/g' | 01:47 |

| ASULutzy | tleeonly: Try that | 02:58 |
| tleeonly | how do i do that | 02:58 |
| thebloggu | i installed ubuntu 8.04.1 in my computer | 02:59 |
| thebloggu | and then upgraded to 8.10 | 02:59 |
| ASULutzy | tleeonly: or you could just use telnet I suppose | 02:59 |
| thebloggu | now on boot it gives an busybox initramfs eroor | 02:59 |
| tleeonly | huhh | 02:59 |
| bening | haiaaa | 03:00 |
| Chewie[] | Steve132: did you recently add your cdrom drive (i.e. could it be a master vs. slave issue or something preventing it from booting?) | 03:00 |
| bening | i am happy using ubuntu | 03:00 |
| VSpike | tleeonly: what's the question. out of interest? | 03:00 |
| tleeonly | i want to be able to connect to an online telnet bbs | 03:00 |
| Chewie[] | Steve132: as far as my screen question, synergy only chains keyboard+mouse control. i'm looking for this computer to show up as a secondary display under windows so i can use it to extend my "windows desktop". | 03:01 |
| ASULutzy | tleeonly: so open a terminal, and type telnet the.address.of.it | 03:01 |
| Steve132 | Chewie: Yeah, so you want like, VNC | 03:01 |
| tleeonly | okay i will try that and see what happens | 03:01 |
| bening | hi rsfs | 03:01 |
| Chewie[] | Steve132: i haven't looked to see if VNC will do that. but i've only used VNC for remote control. | 03:01 |
| R0b0t1 | When watching movies in totem player, they seem flickery and flash black and then back to the movie. Is this a reported bug? | 03:01 |
| VSpike | tleeonly: you could try tinyfugue as well | 03:01 |
| bening | hi rafa | 03:01 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: What graphics card do you have? | 03:02 |
| bening | tleeonly-help me | 03:02 |
| Chewie[] | Steve132: see http://www.maxivista.com/ -- that's the app i'm looking to replace. | 03:02 |
| ASULutzy | !ask | bening | 03:02 |
| R0b0t1 | It's proprietary, I remember Ubuntu asking me to install the driver, which I did, ASULutzy | 03:02 |
| ubottu | bening: 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. :-) | 03:02 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: Was it fglrx? | 03:02 |
| R0b0t1 | How might I check? :S | 03:03 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: (Do you have an ati card?) fglrxinfo in a terminal | 03:03 |
| VSpike | tleeonly: actually forget that, it's not in the repos :) | 03:03 |
| johnfinch | How do I get my wireless to connect to a WEP encrypted network? | 03:04 |
| Steve132 | Chewie: yeah, I don't know of a drop-in replacement | 03:04 |
| R0b0t1 | ASULutzy: OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT OpenGL version string: 2.1.8087 Release | 03:04 |
| Steve132 | but if you can find a VNC server for windows and a VNC client for linux | 03:04 |
| Steve132 | you should get the effect you want | 03:04 |
| qcjn | how can i know what's my chipset ? | 03:04 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: So yea, you do. Does it always happen, or only when the video is full screen? | 03:04 |
| thebloggu | i installed ubuntu 8.04.1 in my computer and then upgraded to 8.10 now on boot it gives an busybox initramfs error | 03:04 |
| R0b0t1 | ASULutzy: Always :( | 03:04 |
| riotkittie | qcjn: chipset for what? wireless? | 03:04 |
| hosstell | VNC is the bomb, though I might add that mouse and keyboard response times seem a bit sluggish at time. | 03:04 |
| Nixed | Hi, Can someone tell me how to get Ubuntu to stop recognizing when I've inserted a Disc into my CD/DVD drives? | 03:04 |

| johnfinch | How do I connect to WEP encrypted network? I can see the network but there isn't a place to input a password it seems. | 03:05 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: I think you'll either have to force xv output for videos, or just disable compiz while you're watching videos... Though there may be another way... It's been so long since I installed fglrx on my desktop I don't really remember | 03:06 |
| R0b0t1 | Ah, compiz? | 03:06 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: I would suggest googling fglrx video flicker | 03:06 |
| qcjn | riotkittie: for soundcard | 03:06 |
| R0b0t1 | ... Does that with games, too, the bastard. | 03:06 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | Hi, can someone help me with partitioning my drives to install ubuntu plz? | 03:06 |

| qcjn | crimsun: thanks | 03:07 |
| Nixed | How do I turn off auto-CD/DVD mount detection in Ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| crimsun | qcjn: sorry, that needs to be -nv instead of -v | 03:07 |
| ASULutzy | R0b0t1: You need to change the compiz setting to "Unredirect full screen windows" and then all full screen stuff won't flicker anymore, alternatively, try typing metacity --replace in a terminal window and then play a video | 03:07 |
| tleeonly | hey it works | 03:07 |
| fiyawerx | Is there a list of the differences between ubuntu desktop and server? I'm setting up a server but will also use it as a remote X server for nomachine sessions as well, can't really decide which would be the better base install | 03:08 |

| ubottu | johnfinch: 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? | 03:12 |
| crimsun | thebloggu: 2 minutes? | 03:12 |
| ASULutzy | johnfinch: network manager should be able to do it just fine, normally you just click on the AP and then it should prompt you for the password | 03:12 |
| thebloggu | crimsun, yes, too much ? | 03:13 |
| crimsun | thebloggu: well, try it, first | 03:13 |

| thebloggu | on the internet | 03:13 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: It's probably a good idea to have some swap space unless hard drive space is extremely limited (say on like an eeepc) | 03:14 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy ASULutzy | 03:14 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: swap is the same thing as the Windows page file basically | 03:14 |

| Pandemic187 | hey all. anyone know how to use pidgin screenlets? | 03:14 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ok, so for instance, i want to keep my windows the way it is, which option do i select for the actual ubuntu drive, "ext 3" ? | 03:14 |
| johnfinch | ASULutzy: What is the AP? I can put in the WEP but no password it seems. | 03:15 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: do you have a separate hard drive on which you're trying to install ubuntu? | 03:15 |
| ASULutzy | johnfinch: Er, So when you click on the access point, via network manager (the little applet in the top right) what exactly happens? | 03:15 |
| onats | using tightvnc, how do i connect to the session that's already loaded on my desktop at home? | 03:15 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: But to answer your question, yes, "/" should be ext3 | 03:16 |
| SampsUn | I need help with the integrated mic not working on my Acer Aspire One | 03:16 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | no i dont have a separate drive | 03:16 |
| SampsUn | Anyone? | 03:16 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | its all one drive | 03:16 |
| Pandemic187 | Anyone? | 03:17 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: K, then you'll want to make sure you're not "using the entire drive" unless you don't want Windows anymore. Are you trying to setup a dualboot? | 03:17 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | one drive, it's 80 gigs, i want to keep 55 for windows, and then use 25 for ubuntu | 03:17 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: Ok, well how much RAM do you have? | 03:17 |
| johnfinch | ASULutzy: It pops up a box that says 'Authentication required by wireless network'. It has a drop box where you select wireless security, a box that says 'Key:', a 'WEP Index' and a 'Authentication' All of them are drop boxes save for 'Key:' | 03:17 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | a gig or 2 | 03:17 |

| lyrae | what is a -very- lightweight sound player...doesnt even have to have a GUI, can be command line | 03:18 |
| ASULutzy | johnfinch: Right, you need a password to connect to a WEP network, put your password in the key section | 03:18 |
| SampsUn | Anyone? | 03:18 |
| lyrae | i need it to be light because im calling it as a subprocess from python | 03:18 |

| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy thanks! | 03:19 |
| johnfinch | ASULutzy: The only problem with that is, when I put in the password it wont allow me to click connect though if I put the WEP key number in I can hit connect (it wont connect though). | 03:19 |
| VSpike | lyrae: mpd? | 03:19 |
| ASULutzy | johnfinch: If you are putting in a password it will only allow you to connect if the key is of a correct length | 03:19 |
| nwillettjeffries | would someone be able to help me with an odd problem in terminal? | 03:20 |
| ASULutzy | johnfinch: you're either using 64 bit or 128 bit WEP, so the key you're entering has to be one of two exact character lengths or it can't possibly be a correct key | 03:20 |

| ASULutzy | johnfinch: Heh, for what it's worth, WEP stinks, and it really can be cracked in about 30 seconds, but try "passphrase" and put in your password there... The 40/128 bit keys are the hex values of your network key, not the ascii | 03:23 |
| r3c0n | ?? | 03:23 |

| thebloggu | lyrae, thank you very much :) | 03:28 |
| ASULutzy | TJ-42: home is really the most important, the others you mention could be useful, but unless you're backing up everything, there's obviously still going to be reinstallation to be done, and it could potentially be a hassle | 03:28 |

| Moloot | how would I do a du listing of just the folders in / sudo du -h ?? | 03:32 |
| lyrae | thebloggu: is the driver available from the nvidia site itself? | 03:32 |
| Cadman21 | I tried drag and drop but I get an error message | 03:32 |
| ASULutzy | shausam27: It is, I think you can just do sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:32 |
| Ward1983 | stupid question: if i'm connected via SSH, and i want to close the connection without closing the terminal window, whats the correct way? | 03:33 |
| lyrae | Cadman21: what error? | 03:33 |
| Diiphantom | can someone explain this command to me: | 03:33 |
| lyrae | Cadman21: saying you dont have whatever installed? | 03:33 |
| Diiphantom | sudo start-stop-daemon --chuid teamspeak --chdir /opt/tss2_rc2 --start --exec /opt/tss2_rc2/server_linux | 03:33 |
| VSpike | Ward1983: exit | 03:33 |
| ASULutzy | Ward1983: exit | 03:33 |
| lyrae | Ward1983: exit | 03:33 |
| Cadman21 | installation for them failed | 03:33 |
| Ward1983 | VSpike, ASULutzy thanx | 03:33 |

| tonsofpc1 | so my blackberry bold apparently looks like an ipod to itunes.... does it look like an ipod to any linux software that touches ipods? (and how can i test? do i use mass-storage mode or not?) | 03:33 |
| thebloggu | lyrae, dont think so | 03:33 |
| Ward1983 | lycidas, sorry wrong highlight | 03:33 |
| Cadman21 | can't move directory over directory | 03:33 |
| Ward1983 | lyrae, thanx | 03:33 |
| lyrae | thebloggu: then i don't know. maybe posting in the forums =) | 03:34 |
| lyrae | Cadman21: are you installing the mac theme? | 03:34 |
| Cadman21 | LiNsta-GTK2 | 03:34 |
| thebloggu | lyrae, thanks anyway ;) | 03:34 |
| cjs | Under Ubuntu 8.04, with all the most recent updates, this has me mystified. When I disable the Adobe Reader plugin in firefox, and then set it to use acroread to read pdf files, they come up in evince instead. Thoughts? | 03:34 |
| lyrae | thebloggu: sorry i tried :( | 03:34 |
| cjs | I've checked the /usr/bin/acroread link, and it does like to acroread. | 03:34 |

| Ward1983 | tonsofpc1, itunes is garbage :( | 03:34 |
| lyrae | Cadman21: dont know but i did get that error when installing mac theme. don't remember how i managed to get it working | 03:35 |
| pckchem | cjs: when you disable the plugin ubuntu probably falls back to defaults. | 03:35 |
| pckchem | cjs: what did you *think* it would do? | 03:35 |
| shausam27 | do i need to install extras or is it just commands that i need to seet | 03:35 |
| cjs | I thought, since I picked "use acroread" instead of "use evince" in the applications dialog, it would use acroread. | 03:35 |
| r3c0n | i have the same problem with display drivers the resolution is always 640x800 although i have installed the drivers for the NVIDIA geforce 9500m GS its quite awkward because i have looked all the forums and google but cant find a solution has any1 ever had this issue here ??????????????? | 03:36 |

| unix | ive tried using the default xserver-xorg-video-i810 and it doesnt work or im not doing something right since its the second display | 03:36 |
| cjs | I also thought that, after I'd verified that /usr/bin/acroread really does bring up acroread, and then chose "Use other..." and explicitly asked for /usr/bin/acroread, it would then use acroread. Why would it use evince instead in either of these cases? | 03:36 |

| Ward1983 | Lexvegas, don't rely on this 169 ip crap :p its garbage | 03:37 |
| Cadman21 | lyrae: ok I'll keep looking through the forms | 03:37 |
| pckchem | cjs: just change the setting in preferences | 03:38 |
| ASULutzy | NeonFloss: I don't know how quantitative those descriptions are. Ubuntu is snappy, but that wouldn't be my #1 reason for switching | 03:38 |
| cjs | But the point is, I want to use the stand-alone reader, not the plugin. | 03:38 |
| dr_willis | who cares about saving 30 sec on boot.. when you gain 30+Days of Uptime. | 03:38 |
| dr_willis | :) | 03:38 |

| kudar | why wouldn't linux-backports-modules-intrepid be available? | 03:38 |
| Lexvegas | Ward1983, lol. yeah. | 03:38 |
| pckchem | cjs: the plugin probably handles the request to pass it off to the seperate window | 03:38 |
| TJ-42 | hmm ok ushimitsudoki | 03:38 |
| cjs | pckchem: I don't understand, if I enable the plugin, you're saying I can still use the stand-alone reader? That would work for me. | 03:39 |
| TJ-42 | thank you | 03:39 |
| pckchem | cjs: Yep. thats how I just altered my settings and what you want works for me | 03:39 |
| Ward1983 | Lexvegas, thats "goodluck" networking lol, its much better to just set it up manually | 03:39 |
| pckchem | cjs: I have the plugin still enabled, I just changed my default behavior from the plugin, to the application. | 03:39 |

| pckchem | cjs: hmm | 03:41 |
| everettz | ubottu: My question is anyone using Ubuntu on an eee pc. | 03:42 |
| unix | r3c0n:, try apt-get install nvidia-setings then run nvidia-settings and use that to change resolution and setup xorg | 03:42 |
| r3c0n | i already did | 03:42 |

| rebel_kid | is there a simple command line audio player (all mp3 and ogg) | 03:42 |

| Tyrath | anyone? | 03:43 |
| unix | no one here is gonna read my pastebin | 03:43 |
| cjs | pckchem: This is impressive. Even if I completely remove evince from the applications list for pdfs for firefox, it still uses it. | 03:43 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: Yes, "/" should be installed to ext3 (which is ext2 + journaling) | 03:43 |
| cjs | Could this be some sort of "alternatives"-related thing? | 03:44 |
| pckchem | cjs: Please start your lines with pckchem so they get highlighted for me. Otherwise hard to tell who you're talking to. Like that! | 03:44 |
| cjs | pckchem: Right. Got it. | 03:44 |
| pckchem | cjs: You can backup your profile and reinstall firefox. | 03:44 |
| canthus13 | Anyone know why Samba would quit sharing after a package update? | 03:44 |
| pckchem | cjs: could fix it | 03:44 |
| ASULutzy | unix: That's not true at all, you should do something like, "Hey all, I'm having problem getting my intel945gm working. Here's what I tried and the output of yadda yadda: pastebin.com/whatever" | 03:44 |
| everettz | ASULutzy: Can you tell me if there is a trick to getting the boot device menu to appear at startup? I am completely blind an it seems that I only actually get the boot device menu to popup about 1 time out of 10. | 03:44 |
| gizmo | can i use Xchat to serving mp3 in the irc? | 03:44 |

| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy so use as = "ext 3 journaling file system" mount point = "/" ? | 03:44 |

| ASULutzy | everettz: Though of course this doesn't have much to do with Ubuntu :) | 03:45 |
| pckchem | cjs: Do you know how to do that? | 03:45 |
| everettz | ASULutzy: Well, it is partly related since I can't get Ubuntu installed if I can't access the menu. | 03:45 |
| Steve132 | Is it possible to hotplug Sata drives? | 03:46 |
| cjs | pckchem: I'm working on it. (I'm usually a BSD guy; just switched.) Apparently update-alternatives --list wants a <name> which is for the <name> group. How do I find out the list of names for groups? | 03:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | r3c0n: I had a similar problem, but it turned out I wasn't actually using the NVIDIA drivers, I was using the "vesa" driver instead. (however there was a warning message about this). Have you tried running nvidia-settings? | 03:46 |
| Steve132 | I have an (almost dead) sata drive on my laptop. I'm getting a new one, but I need to recover some of the data off of it | 03:46 |
| ASULutzy | everettz: Her battery is dead and I'm lazy, just mash the heck out of the setup button? (or the select boot device button), I was able to do it on the first try iirc, so just push the button faster maybe? Otherwise contact ASUS for support I guess | 03:46 |
| Steve132 | unfortunately, booting the linux livecd with the drive in causes it to fail with DRDY ERR | 03:46 |
| pckchem | cjs: eek. Ok. BSD. | 03:47 |
| Steve132 | and linux never boots | 03:47 |
| r3c0n | i have run nvidia-settings and doesnt work | 03:47 |
| pckchem | cjs: I have no idea what that command is :) | 03:47 |
| Steve132 | if I take the drive out, linux boots finew | 03:47 |
| pckchem | cjs: Backup ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles/ first | 03:47 |
| Steve132 | is it possible to put the drive in, post boot, and then get it a device profile? | 03:47 |
| cjs | pckchem: Just as background. I know a lot about Unix internals, not so much about Gnome UI stuff. | 03:47 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy i dont understand the swap area thing, should i select "do not use the partition" when creating a new partition using the "edit partition" option? | 03:47 |
| Steve132 | I just want to be able to read what I can from the disk | 03:47 |

| IdleOne | ok I have a very weird issue here. My keyboard stopped working for no apparent reason after upgrade was complete and rebooted | 03:49 |
| pckchem | cjs: Haha. Knock yourself out. | 03:49 |
| everettz | ASULutzy: Ok, I'll give it a try. I looked at Eeebuntu but gnome-orca isn't installed on the Live CD. I think the best plan for me might be to just install Intrepid and then to patch the kernel. | 03:50 |
| canthus13 | IdleOne: Is it a USB keyboard? | 03:50 |
| IdleOne | canthus13, no ps/2 | 03:50 |
| cjs | How on earth do I get a list of the groups available to the update-alternatives program? | 03:50 |
| unix | ive got a question about an intel945gm graphics card someone please help | 03:50 |
| pckchem | cjs: Why do you need aupdate-alternatives? | 03:50 |
| canthus13 | IdleOne: Dunno then. I had the same happen with a usb keyboard... Unplugging it and plugging it back in fixed the problem. | 03:50 |
| ASULutzy | everettz: Yea, I really dig the netbook remix interface that http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ has | 03:51 |
| canthus13 | IdleOne: That won't work with PS/2, though. | 03:51 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy it is saying that when i try to partition 2 gigs that it is too small? :s | 03:51 |
| r3c0n | i have the same problem with display drivers the resolution is always 640x800 although i have installed the drivers for the NVIDIA geforce 9500m GS its quite awkward because i have looked all the forums and google and i run nvidia settings as well but cant find a solution i have tried it all still doesnt work..its a Asus G1SN (AK014C) Laptop.. What can i do ?? telephone someone ?? use 50/50 | 03:51 |
| IdleOne | canthus13, let me try pluggin in the usb KB | 03:51 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: I get the message - unable to mount volume | 03:51 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: Well you want your ext3 "/" partition to be way bigger than 2 GB | 03:51 |
| cjs | pckchem: Oh, I'm just wondering if there's some pdf-reading alternative setting that firefox is running into when it *thinks* it's running acroread. | 03:51 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: also i get a similar message when i try fdisk -l | 03:51 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: your swap could be 2 GB though | 03:51 |
| canthus13 | Anyone have any idea why Samba would suddenly stop sharing after a package update? | 03:51 |
| r3c0n | remove samba and re install ?? | 03:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: fdisk -l shouldn't try to mount the volume (not should you have to mount it to format it) | 03:52 |
| canthus13 | r3c0n: That's gonna suck. | 03:52 |
| cjs | Oh boy! update-alternatives lets me finally fix my damn cursor theme! | 03:52 |
| r3c0n | no idea | 03:52 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: nah, i was just using that to see if the comp could find it | 03:52 |
| pckchem | cjs: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display pdf ? | 03:53 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: anyhow with gparted i can find it | 03:53 |
| IdleOne | canthus13, still no luck | 03:53 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: it apparently has three partitions on it which is bizarre | 03:53 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: is there anyway in which i can have just one partition running on it? | 03:53 |
| cjs | pckchem: That gives me "No alternatives for pdf." Did it work for you? | 03:53 |
| pckchem | cjs: No, like an idiot i sent that before i tried it myself. | 03:53 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: sure. gparted should be able to delete all those partitions and make 1 big one. You WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON THE DRIVE | 03:54 |
| m1chael | does anyone here use xenserver express? | 03:54 |
| r3c0n | i have the same problem with display drivers the resolution is always 640x800 although i have installed the drivers for the NVIDIA geforce 9500m GS its quite awkward because i have looked all the forums and google and i run nvidia settings as well but cant find a solution i have tried it all still doesnt work..its a Asus G1SN (AK014C) Laptop.. What can i do ?? telephone someone ?? use 50/50 | 03:54 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: I haven't really put anything on there... would it be wise to delete the partitions tho? | 03:54 |
| cjs | pckchem: BTW, if you try --all on it, you'll get tons of interesting stuff to play with. | 03:54 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy yes i know, i split 21 gigs for the ext3, now im trying to make the swap area, but when i try to select "swap area" it changes it to the 19 gigs that are used on my windows? | 03:54 |
| cjs | pckchem: But I went through the whole thing and saw nothing related to evince or PDFs. | 03:55 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: If you are *SURE* you don't need any data on the drive, why not? | 03:55 |
| cjs | pckchem: Ah well. I need to get back to work, so I guess I'll play more later. Thanks again for your help. | 03:55 |
| pckchem | cjs: Ahh. By default they are in /etc/alternatives | 03:55 |
| cjs | pckchem: Doh! | 03:55 |

| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: which format is it best to format to: ext2, ext3, fat or linux-swap? | 03:56 |
| pckchem | cjs: Thank you man page :) | 03:56 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: sorry I don't really know what to tell you, you'll have to decide how exactly you want to split up the partitions, and it shouldn't be too complicated once you've decided that, 20 GB for "/" formatted as ext3 should be fine, and you'll probably want at least 2gb to format as "swap" | 03:56 |
| r3c0n | or e-mail | 03:56 |
| KarlsBerg | Hello | 03:56 |
| cjs | pckchem: Presumably the ones without the dots are the groups. | 03:56 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: i take it fat isn't the best option given both ubuntu and mac os x are linux based | 03:56 |
| pckchem | cjs: checking... | 03:56 |
| KarlsBerg | what i need for listen sounds in 3gp videos using totem | 03:56 |

| r3c0n | Envyng is quite cool for Ati and Nvidia drivers | 03:57 |
| r3c0n | i have the same problem with display drivers the resolution is always 640x800 although i have installed the drivers for the NVIDIA geforce 9500m GS its quite awkward because i have looked all the forums and google and i run nvidia settings as well but cant find a solution i have tried it all still doesnt work..its a Asus G1SN (AK014C) Laptop.. What can i do ?? telephone someone ?? use 50/50 | 03:57 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: swap is right out, that is like a temp space for memory. ext3 is the usual default choice, it is a superset of ext3 with journaling. Unless you want to experiment, use ext3. If you want to share the drive with a Windows machine, use NTFS. | 03:57 |
| pckchem | cjs: yep | 03:57 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: er, ext3 is a superset of ext2 | 03:57 |
| pckchem | cjs: looks like nothing there. ls | grep pdf only giving me an option for a converter | 03:58 |
| cjs | pckchem: Right. No mention of evince anywhere. | 03:59 |
| pckchem | cjs: nothing interesting in firefox either | 03:59 |
| cjs | Well, strace will give more info. | 03:59 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: when I tried to format one partition it seemed to just erase the harddisk. now it wants me to select msdos as a partition table type - why is this? i'm using ubuntu | 03:59 |
| cjs | At least I'll be able to find out just what the darn thing is running. | 04:00 |
| pckchem | cjs: :) | 04:00 |
| rww | Tyrath: msdos is the right partition layout for most non-Mac computers. "partition table type" isn't the same as "partition type" | 04:00 |
| pckchem | cjs: well its working fine here and I do a lot of but triage and never seen the error before. Chances are you install got borked somehow. | 04:00 |
| yoyit2 | anyone know what the easiest way to jailbreak an ipod touch, so that i can use it with ubuntu 8.10 | 04:00 |

What can i do ?? telephone someone ?? use 50/50 | 04:00 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy ok, but the issue is, when i try to select 2 gigs, it says "too small" and wont let me partition it, any ideas? :S | 04:01 |
| Tyrath | rww: so if I want to store files from both a mac and ubuntu what would be the correct selection? | 04:01 |
| _Zeus_ | I have multiple local hard drives, and I want to keep them in sync. They won't all always be plugged in. What program should I use? | 04:01 |
| pckchem | cjs: Nope. I use irssi and chatzilla depending on the mood. Sorry | 04:01 |
| rww | Tyrath: if you're partitioning a Mac, I have no idea, because I don't use them. If you're partitioning a regular, BIOS-using PC, then "msdos" is right. | 04:02 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: I think you're doing it wrong, because you don't even actually need to have a swap, that is you can completely avoid creating a swap partition and it will still install | 04:02 |
| yoyit2 | anyone know a quick and easy way to get an ipod touch to work with both vista and ubuntu 8.10 (possibly jailbreak)??? | 04:02 |
| yoyit2 | ?????// | 04:02 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: Otherwise you can try to increase the swap space to 3 or 4 GB | 04:02 |
| Tyrath | rww: i don't get why i can't partition in some unix format compatibile with both ubuntu and max os x | 04:02 |
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy how does the swap area help? :s | 04:03 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: what filesystem is on the drives? | 04:03 |
| _Zeus_ | Chewie[]: ext3 | 04:03 |
| lyrae | has anyone ever used vux? | 04:03 |
| Tyrath | rww: or can I create two partitions? one for mac and one for ubuntu? | 04:03 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: can that change? | 04:03 |
| _Zeus_ | Chewie[]: sure. | 04:03 |
| Diiphantom | anyone knows about this; sudo start-stop-daemon --chuid | 04:03 |
| ASULutzy | mib_mp17mh0n: It's exactly the same as a Windows page file. When your RAM fills up, you can use hard drive space to act as though it were RAM (albeit very slow RAM) | 04:04 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: because mac doesn't support ext natively. You could install hfs on your ubuntu box, or install ext support on your mac box | 04:04 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: i'm not a ubuntu-er per se, but i know zfs could do it. | 04:04 |
| ASULutzy | Tyrath: Are you actually trying to install an OS to this partition? Because if it's just data I'd imagine both could read and write to NTFS and FAT without too much trouble | 04:04 |
| r3c0n | only ubuntu elites can solve this for me ?? http://pastebin.com/d271a3725 | 04:04 |
| yowshi | anyone here familiar with hamachi | 04:04 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: I don't mean "natively", I mean "straight-out-the-box". I think. I don't have a mac | 04:04 |
| === matipuno is now known as ginggangguni | ||
| mib_mp17mh0n | ASULutzy ahhh, ok, sorry didn't know what you meant by page file before. Ok, thanks alot I think i can get it going now, much appreciated | 04:04 |
| yowshi | i need help installing hamachi | 04:04 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: i also know freebsd geom may do it.. but zfs may have a fuse driver. | 04:04 |
| r3c0n | only elites can u solve this ?? http://pastebin.com/d271a3725 | 04:05 |
| Tyrath | ASULutzy: that's what I was hoping | 04:05 |
| ASULutzy | Tyrath: But again, are you actually installing an OS to this partition? | 04:05 |
| ASULutzy | Tyrath: Or is it just for data storage? | 04:05 |
| Tyrath | ASULutzy: the latter | 04:05 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: I thought this was an external USB drive? | 04:05 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: it is | 04:05 |
| ASULutzy | Tyrath: Then format it as NTFS and call it a day? | 04:05 |
| Tyrath | ASULutzy: that's not an option | 04:06 |
| _Zeus_ | Chewie[]: zfs can be installed... any more ideas on what program i would use? | 04:06 |
| rww | Tyrath, ASULutzy: Mac OS X can't write to NTFS | 04:06 |
| ASULutzy | Tyrath: Ah, what about FAT? | 04:06 |
| Tyrath | ASULutzy: that's not an option either but msdos should cover fat | 04:06 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: i'm looking. | 04:06 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: Then put HFS support into ubuntu or ext support in the mac? That not an option? | 04:06 |
| Tyrath | ASULutzy: the only thing i seem to be able to do is write a partition table :/ | 04:06 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: nope | 04:06 |
| ASULutzy | Tyrath: heh, sorry, I know nothing about Macs, but then it seems like your choices are either getting HFS support in Ubuntu or ext in Mac | 04:07 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: you could also script a dd copy operation, but that would become complicated. | 04:07 |
| ASULutzy | That's silly that it can't write to NTFS | 04:07 |
| incubii | rww, it can, just not with its default applications | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | I could imagine the legal argueings apple has over that. :) but i though os-x could do ext2/3 | 04:07 |
| Tyrath | my options: msdos, aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc98, sun, loop | 04:07 |
| _Zeus_ | Chewie[]: I can't read zfs in windows, and that's a nessecity | 04:07 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: where are you getting these options from? | 04:08 |
| yoyit2 | how do i jailbreak an ipod touch?? | 04:08 |
| _Zeus_ | yoyit2: google it? this is an ubuntu forum | 04:08 |
| Tyrath | ushimitsudoki: create a partition table in gparted | 04:08 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: will you need to sync the entire disk or just the files on it? (i.e. will you ever repartition and expect it to sync) | 04:08 |
| ASULutzy | yoyit2: This is an ubuntu support channel, not an ipod support channel | 04:08 |
| _Zeus_ | Chewie[]: just the files | 04:08 |
| dr_willis | http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ OS-X ext2 support - it seems. | 04:08 |
| rww | Tyrath: "msdos should cover fat": msdos is a partition table type. "FAT" is a partition type. They're different. | 04:08 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: yes listen to rww | 04:08 |
| Tyrath | rww: so what should i do? | 04:09 |
| yoyit2 | ASULutzy: but it has to do with getting it to work with ubutnu, as im switching from vista | 04:09 |
| rww | Tyrath: now. You only want this partition for data storage, right? You're not booting any Operating System off it? | 04:09 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tyrath: you are going to put a filesystem (HFS or ext3) when you format it | 04:09 |
| yoyit2 | ASULutzy: FRiggen vista sucks | 04:09 |

| yuni | ghhbh | 04:09 |
| Chewie[] | _Zeus_: then instead of dd i'd say set up some rsync scripts. they would of course require management or integration into hal. there may be an app (i.e. exactly what you're looking for) which automates this. i don't know of one though and i would suggest waiting for someone who does know. | 04:09 |
| yuni | tfhxghg | 04:10 |
| ASULutzy | yoyit2: Being related to Ubuntu and being actual Ubuntu support are two completely different things. If I asked, "Hey all, I'm trying to hack into the Pentagon using <insert Ubuntu package here> would you think that that's Ubuntu support related? | 04:10 |

| r3c0n | can u solve ?? http://pastebin.com/d571871fe | 04:10 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: Have you tried just using envy? I haven't used it in a while but it might be helpful | 04:10 |
| rww | Tyrath: You have three options. The most compatible solution is FAT32, but you can't make files larger than 4GB or have partitions larger than 2TB on it. If those limitations aren't a problem, use FAT32. The other two options are formatting it as EXT3 and making EXT3 work with OS X, or formatting it as HFS+ and making that work on Ubuntu (I think it might work out of the box now. not sure.) | 04:11 |
| Wicked | r3c0n, system>pref>screen resolution? | 04:11 |
| yaris123456789 | how do i wget every file in a directory and skip the downloaded files | 04:11 |

| yoyit2 | ASULutzy: do you know of anyways to get an ipod touch to work with any programs available with ubuntu?? cuz all the programs ive tried dont work | 04:11 |
| rww | Tyrath: either way, just make the partition table type "msdos", because Macs can *read* "msdos" table types, they just can't *boot* from them. | 04:11 |
| r3c0n | the driver all of neither work | 04:11 |
| Tyrath | rww: it's 465.6GB external harddrive | 04:11 |
| r3c0n | i dont understand why | 04:11 |
| rww | Tyrath: are there going to be files larger than 4GB each on it? | 04:12 |

| r3c0n | ill have a look now wicked 1 sec | 04:12 |
| ASULutzy | yaris123456789: man wget | 04:12 |
| rww | Tyrath: then FAT32 isn't an option. Use EXT3 and figure out how to make that work with OS X, or use HFS+ and figure out how to make that work with Ubuntu. | 04:12 |
| Tyrath | rww: the other option is multiple partitions... | 04:13 |
| Tyrath | rww: maybe I could have one partition compatible with the mac and the other compatible with ubuntu | 04:13 |
| rww | Tyrath: yeah, that'd work too. | 04:13 |
| Pilot_51 | Can anyone help? | 04:13 |
| Tyrath | rww: only the partition table still needs a format | 04:13 |
| rww | Tyrath: make the partition table "msdos" type | 04:13 |

| soreau | r3c0n: How did you install your nvidia drivers? | 04:24 |
| dr_willis | yowshi, if you used the .deb it should.. | 04:24 |
| tonsofpc1 | how do I run an XDMCP server [that is, something I can connect to with an XDMCP login screen] ? | 04:24 |
| rww | Wicked: And this is why you don't tell users they're lying to you. Sometimes weird output isn't the user's fault ;) | 04:24 |
| soreau | kudar: Very carefully | 04:24 |
| aiban | thanks! | 04:24 |
| ASULutzy | benjamin1: option 2) sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:24 |
| rebel_kid | !upgrade > kudar | 04:24 |
| ubottu | kudar, please see my private message | 04:24 |
| r3c0n | soreau envyng and i found a guide on ubuntu forums | 04:25 |
| ASULutzy | benjamin1: and then just system -> preferences -> compiz config settings manager -> general settings | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | yowshi, ty the console based apt tools perhaps apt-get remove programname | 04:25 |
| soreau | benjamin1: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects <- set to None | 04:25 |
| ASULutzy | kudar: sudo update-manager -d | 04:25 |
| benjamin1 | ASULutzy: I'll got with option 2, wait a sec... | 04:25 |
| r3c0n | soreau i also downloaded a driver from nvidia website | 04:25 |
| tonsofpc1 | display manager, i suppose i should call it | 04:25 |
| benjamin1 | soreau: try that too... | 04:25 |
| Brack101 | ok new problem. Permissions keep getting messed up. First my ~/.mozilla got locked, then my downloads folder now I get this error from virtualbox out of the blue http://pastebin.com/me0ec7c do I need to kill my profile and start over (please say no) | 04:25 |
| ASULutzy | benjamin1: That's the option I picked too, fixes flickering in full screen, which is really all that mattered to me | 04:25 |
| soreau | r3c0n: Your drivers may not be installed correctly especially if you used envy | 04:25 |
| yowshi | dr_willis: thanks that worked | 04:26 |
| r3c0n | ok 1 sec i will show u all the things i followed | 04:26 |

| MHz128 | I would like to change the number of lines that is scrolled with the mouse wheel... is this possible? (ie. make the scroll wheel scroll further) | 04:27 |
| soreau | r3c0n: They work fine, you just have to install them correctly | 04:27 |
| r3c0n | maybe the pcs broke , time to give up | 04:27 |

| ASULutzy | r3c0n: do this: wget http://blogage.de/files/9124/download -O compiz-check && chmod +x compiz-check && ./compiz-check | 04:28 |
| soreau | yoyit2: You have to open the editor with sudo | 04:28 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: Just copy paste that whole line | 04:28 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: and then paste the ouput to a pastebin | 04:29 |
| yoyit2 | soreau: im REALLY new to ubuntu (ex vista person), so how would i go about doing all this? | 04:29 |
| r3c0n | ok ein moment | 04:29 |

| r3c0n | its not working | 04:31 |
| r3c0n | my ubuntus messed up | 04:31 |
| soreau | yoyit2: Ok, open a terminal and run 'gksu gedit /path/to/file | 04:31 |

| ASULutzy | r3c0n: I just did it. | 04:31 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: it works. | 04:31 |

| ASULutzy | wget http://blogage.de/files/9124/download -O compiz-check && chmod +x compiz-check && ./compiz-check | 04:31 |
| r3c0n | sudo and the command right | 04:31 |
| Steve132 | ASULutzy: I'm running from a liveCD right now | 04:32 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: NO | 04:32 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: Just copy paste exactly this and nothing else | 04:32 |
| Steve132 | but I had to physically disconnect the drive in order to get it to boot | 04:32 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: wget http://blogage.de/files/9124/download -O compiz-check && chmod +x compiz-check && ./compiz-check | 04:32 |
| r3c0n | compiz-check: Permission denied | 04:32 |
| Steve132 | otherwise, the liveCD refused to boot | 04:32 |
| yoyit2 | soreau: k, and it just brought up a big window | 04:32 |
| ASULutzy | r3c0n: cd; wget http://blogage.de/files/9124/download -O compiz-check && chmod +x compiz-check && ./compiz-check | 04:33 |
| soreau | yoyit2: Note that I said /path/to/file | 04:33 |
| Steve132 | I suspect it is because the livecd looks for a hard-drive to extract files to, and, finding the damaged one, it attempted to do so | 04:33 |
| yoyit2 | soreau: now edit and save my code in there? | 04:33 |
| soreau | no | 04:33 |

| ra_ | What is a good size for a Windows XP VM??/ | 04:34 |
| evilbug | ra_- depends on what you want to do. | 04:34 |
| ra_ | Also is it true that a VM can't play games, because it doesn't support direct X? | 04:34 |
| ASULutzy | ra_: That is true | 04:34 |
| Gnea | ra_: untrue. | 04:34 |
| ZhuchoG | ra_, 0mb :) | 04:34 |
| Tboy | hi | 04:34 |
| magikfingerz | ra_, depends on the emulator... | 04:34 |
| soreau | ugh | 04:34 |
| rww | ra_: The OS will need a couple of GB (8-10GB to be safe), then if you have other, large, stuff to put in it, factor that in. And while they're getting better at playing games, most of them aren't good at it. | 04:35 |
| ASULutzy | ra_: If you want to play 3d games you won't be using virtualbox, you could try wine though | 04:35 |
| ra_ | Ok cool | 04:35 |
| Gnea | ra_: vmware will do it, if you have decent 3d hardware, the right drivers, and the vmware tools installed | 04:35 |
| magikfingerz | ra_ recently, VirtualBox has addes experimental 3d support, so maybe you can try one game or two... :) | 04:35 |
| ra_ | How much does Office 2007 take up 1 or 2 gigs? so like 20 gigs of space to be safe? | 04:35 |
| Gnea | ra_: 20gigs is a good bet. | 04:36 |

| Tyrath | thanks for the help people | 04:36 |
| Tyrath | i'm going to try rebooting | 04:36 |
| Steve132 | soreau: are there any kernel flags or options to tell the liveCD to not attempt to mount the hard drive? | 04:36 |
| ra_ | Damn. See it makes a difference, if I can play games I might go a bit larger, but if I am just going to be using Office, and maybe a couple of other office/scientific programs then I would 20-30 gigs should be good | 04:36 |
| ra_ | Is there a safe way to change? | 04:37 |
| soreau | Steve132: It wont mount any drives | 04:37 |
| Steve132 | soreau: alternately, is there a way to "hotplug" a sata drive? | 04:37 |
| soreau | Steve132: Can you explain what the problem is aexactly? | 04:37 |
| darkfuzion | Wazzzup | 04:37 |
| Gnea | ra_: yeah, but it's a bit of a process.... if you can afford 30-40gigs, i say go for it right off the bat | 04:37 |
| soreau | err | 04:37 |
| magikfingerz | ra_ when you create your Virtual Disk, you can use 500GB or more, but don't allocate all disk space, use the option what allocate space as needed, so if, for some reason your VM grows in size, you already have been defined a good partition size... :) | 04:37 |
| soreau | exactly* | 04:37 |
| ASULutzy | ra_: Just add a new virtual disk | 04:37 |
| Bossmanbeta | when i try to stream VLC to file using MP4 encapsulation with MP4 video codec and MP4/aac audio, VLC keeps saying VLC could not find encoder "MPEG AAC Audio". Any way I could add that codec so VLC can access it for encoding audio? | 04:38 |
| Gnea | ra_: at the very least, make sure you use the 2gb filesize option | 04:38 |
| Marupa | Hello, everyone...I'm trying to configure a wifi to ethernet bridge using ubuntu. I want to be able to connect my PS2 and XBOX to a switch, and to my computer, and be able to get online. I have two questions...One, if I'm bridging the connection, will the ubuntu box be able to get online, and Two, can someone point me to a good tutorial for it? The few on the forums don't seem to work. | 04:38 |
| mohadib | I have two xorg.conf files I use.One for three displays, the other for running one display. The latter I use for playing games. X sees my main monitor as being the one on the far left, I would like the center monitor to be the main one when only using one display.I have to unplug the first monitor to get the center monitor to be the active one as is. Any idea how I could achieve this via the config file and not unplugging the first dis | 04:38 |
| ra_ | So magikfingerz, your saying allocate like 70 gigs, but if it isn't used I can use in on the host system instead? | 04:38 |
| kngoworld | Could someone please help me and teach me how to connect my new blackberry bold on ubuntu 8.04? I am a newbie | 04:38 |

| Bossmanbeta | I'll check those links, thanks Gnea | 04:39 |
| rww | ra_: right. If you allocate 70GB, it'll start off with a small hard disk file, then expand it as needed, up to a maximum of 70GB. It won't use that 70GB (theoretically) unless it needs it | 04:39 |
| ASULutzy | benjamin1: no problem | 04:39 |
| Steve132 | soreau: when I have the drive connected, the liveCD boot fails, and prints out errors, probably due to bad sectors...specifically, it prints out messages very similar to http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/19/12 | 04:39 |
| soreau | Steve132: That's not good.. | 04:39 |
| ra_ | rww: but if it is allocated can my host system use it too? | 04:39 |
| Gnea | Marupa: you can do it using NAT | 04:39 |
| magikfingerz | ra_ thats right, | 04:39 |
| ra_ | magikfingerz: Sick | 04:40 |
| Tboy | hello | 04:40 |
| Marupa | Gnea, How do I do this? And will I still be able to get online on the ubuntu box? | 04:40 |
| rww | !hi | Tboy | 04:40 |
| ubottu | Tboy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 04:40 |
| Steve132 | no, its not. I presume that my drive is hosed, I just want to try to get some backups (I found out to my dismay that the last backup I did was...well..missing some things) | 04:40 |
| soreau | Steve132: So why are you trying to use a bad hard drive? | 04:40 |
| fiyawerx | Can anyone help.. I'm getting dropped to the busybox / initramfs shell during boot after about 20 seconds of a black screen, and waiting to type 'exit' doesn't work | 04:40 |
| fiyawerx | it's a fresh install of 8.10 | 04:40 |
| soreau | Steve132: Ah, I see now.. | 04:40 |
| Steve132 | soreau: read above, see, backups | 04:41 |
| Tboy | here so many people | 04:41 |
| ASULutzy | Steve132: lol you could try hot swapping it, what's the worse thing that could happen ;) | 04:41 |
| Gnea | Marupa: yes, it's not quite ethernet bridging (which won't work right with a wireless card) but it will get your game stations talking to the 'net | 04:41 |
| Marupa | Gnea, Good enough for me. | 04:41 |
| ra_ | Virtual box has a 29.5 gig limit on a VM? | 04:41 |
| === vic is now known as Guest84059 | ||

| Gnea | !info ipmasq | Marupa | 04:42 |
| ra_ | Should I use VMware instead? | 04:42 |
| ubottu | ipmasq (source: ipmasq): securely initializes IP Masquerade forwarding/firewalling. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.0.8-6ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 66 kB, installed size 580 kB | 04:42 |
| soreau | Steve132: I've never hot swapped drives like that, but I guess it couldn't do much harm.. | 04:42 |
| mdmkolbe | How do I find out what network services are running on my Ubuntu machine? | 04:42 |
| Gnea | Marupa: check that package out ^^^ | 04:42 |
| Marupa | Gnea, Any GUI? I'm bad at doing stuff to IPTables. | 04:42 |
| Steve132 | ASULutzy: Is that actually possible? Like, you might be jsut messing with me, but, honestly, I know some sata drives support that...(soreau, here is how its relevant) Is there a command that says "Ok, new drive in, check for new drives" | 04:42 |
| Gnea | mdmkolbe: sudo netstat -pan | grep LISTEN | 04:42 |
| Steve132 | or, something? | 04:43 |
| Gnea | Marupa: that's what ipmasq is for | 04:43 |
| Gnea | Marupa: you're basically NATting the connection, or 'masquerading' it | 04:43 |
| Steve132 | or, maybe, since, as we've established, the drive IS mounted and/or otherwise read on boot, (otherwise why is it erroring?) | 04:43 |
| magikfingerz | Hi folks... have a question what i haven't found in the forums or with Mr. google: I have a problem with a joystick, it seems like my ubuntu detects it but cannot use it, If I move the joystick my mouse pointer moves, but cannot use it on games maybe is detected as a pointing device...? :p | 04:43 |
| Steve132 | is there a liveCD command to tell it NOT to do that? | 04:43 |
| rww | Steve132: I tried hotswapping a SATA CD-ROM drive the other day and it didn't work. I thought it was theoretically *supposed* to work with hard drives, though... | 04:43 |
| magikfingerz | somebody with a similar problem...? :) | 04:44 |
| GodfatherofEire | Is there any gui FLV file converter? | 04:44 |
| soreau | Steve132: No, no one is messing with you. And I still don't think this is the best place to ask. But new hardware will show up in /dev, though it wont jump out at you and say 'here I am!'. You could check the output of 'dmesg' to see if the kernel had anything to say about it | 04:44 |
| Gnea | Steve132: the only devices you can hotswap are USB and Firewire - of course, if they're still mounted, you could have issues | 04:44 |
| darkfuzion | lhwifhulfiowiofh;owhoh | 04:44 |

| Bossmanbeta | Gnea, yea, I have the codecs installed, becuase other apps seem to be able to use them (AVIdemux for example I have on the system and can convert just fine) -- I wanted to use VLC instead, but I keep getting the error that for MP3 audio: VLC could not find encoder "MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3". and for AAC: VLC could not find encoder "MPEG AAC Audio". I am betting that VLC is not configured properly to locate the codecs | 04:52 |

| rww | kngoworld: if you're using gnome-terminal, try Shift-Ctrl-V. If you're using a text-only virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.), then I don't think there is one. | 04:53 |
| anvesh_agx | Hi all,I have installed ubuntu successfully and now i want to install windows in another partition.So do i folllow the normal procedures or do i have to config anything else | 04:53 |
| benjamin1 | soreau: can you tell me how to playback x264 content (720p) and 1080p? | 04:53 |
| soreau | IdleOne: I don't know what else to say.. | 04:53 |
| Unr3a1 | nobody? | 04:53 |
| soreau | benjamin1: Unfortunately, no I cannot | 04:53 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: more appropriately, VLC is not primarily an encoder, just a playback mechanism. If Avidemux can do it, then stick with it. Audacity goes great with it. | 04:53 |
| anvesh_agx | I have installed ubuntu successfully and now i want to install windows in another partition.So do i folllow the normal procedures or do i have to config anything else | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | anvesh_agx, windows will overwrite the MBR/GRUB menu so you wull have tor estore that.. and add an entry for windows In the grub menu/config file. | 04:54 |

| benjamin1 | in windows i use coreavc, btw ffmpeg and multicore. but ffmpeg under linux just uses one core, so... its too slow | 04:54 |
| IdleOne | soreau, do you know how I can specify mac address | 04:54 |
| soreau | Unr3a1: I lost you because your post wasn't a single one | 04:54 |
| anvesh_agx | so how do i config grub | 04:54 |
| rww | anvesh_agx: I used http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm last time I had to do that. | 04:54 |
| Gnea | Jaza: are you? | 04:54 |
| soreau | IdleOne: Actually, no :/ | 04:54 |
| Unr3a1 | ok, lemme try again... I apologize | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | !grub | anvesh_agx | 04:54 |
| ubottu | anvesh_agx: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:54 |
| anvesh_agx | ok i'll see that thanks. | 04:54 |
| kngoworld | Could someone private message me if you know how to sync a blackberry on 8.04? | 04:54 |
| soreau | Unr3a1: Have you run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade' yet? | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | anvesh_agx, theres an example grub entry int he menu.lst that boots windows on the first partition/hd. | 04:55 |
| soreau | kngoworld: You'd likely be better off googling | 04:55 |
| Bossmanbeta | Gnea, Avidemux cannot handle the source properly, with AVI containers I get choppy video ... VLC seems to encode just fine... (it isn't primarily a playback mechanism, it has an extensive encoding capability via it's streaming to file or to live-stream) ... I can stream to other formats, but I am trying to specifically stream to file the audio track of movies files in MP3 or AAC audio for playback on a handheld that can only play back cer | 04:55 |

| Unr3a1 | I just purchased a Lenovo S10 netbook, and apt-get is not able to find any packages when I try to use it. I want to install xchat, thunderbird, but it cannot find anything. any ideas what would cause this? | 04:55 |
| kngoworld | Soreau: i have tried for hours but need more detailed help | 04:55 |
| benjamin1 | anyone an idea how to get x264 working under ubuntu 8.10? ffmpeg just uses one Core, so its to slow. | 04:55 |
| IdleOne | how do I restart network? | 04:55 |
| Unr3a1 | soreau: no I have not. I am doing an upgrade through the update manager right now. | 04:55 |

| soreau | kngoworld: Well I don't have any experience with the blackberry, is it a usb device? What exactly is the problem? | 04:56 |
| tonsofpc1 | I just configured gdm to listen for network connections and opened a hole in the firewall for it, rehashed, and killed X... how can I make it actually listen? | 04:56 |
| Bossmanbeta | Gnea, Do you know how to configure VLC where to locate/use the AAC codec (faac I think?) on the system or the LAME encoder? | 04:56 |
| rww | Unr3a1: ocne that upgrade's done, it should find stuff properly. | 04:56 |
| tonsofpc1 | kngoworld: sync with what? | 04:56 |
| benjamin1 | dr_willis: how do i add them to my synaptic sources? | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | !medibuntu | benjamin1 | 04:56 |
| ubottu | benjamin1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 04:56 |
| kngoworld | Soreau: it is a usb device and I need to sync it with my eee pc and hopefully use it as a modem | 04:56 |
| Unr3a1 | rww: kk. just out of curiosity, why would the update matter? | 04:56 |
| tonsofpc1 | afaik, the rim software or over-the-air is the only way to sync... | 04:57 |
| tonsofpc1 | kngoworld: are you paying for tethering/bonding usage? | 04:57 |
| benjamin1 | dr_willis: ohh, thx alot. searched for this illegal repository for some time :) | 04:57 |
| soreau | kngoworld: So your eee pc has no internet access? | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | how do I configure interface eth1 ? | 04:57 |
| rww | Unr3a1: You need to run sudo apt-get update the first time you run apt-get, so it can download a list of available packages. The GUI update manager will do that for you. | 04:57 |
| benjamin1 | ;) | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, its NOT 'illegal' | 04:57 |
| benjamin1 | i know :) | 04:58 |
| soreau | lol | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, you are confuseing the use of the term legal,. :) vs GPL :) | 04:58 |
| Unr3a1 | rww: oh alright. is it because the install disc that I used is not the latest version of the OS? so technically, apt-get cannot find any software for the version of ubuntu that I installed? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, heh - had a large 'discussion' about this topic the other day in here. :p | 04:58 |
| kngoworld | Soreau: it has internet, but if im on the road i need the modem, and i travel a lot | 04:58 |

| IdleOne | benjamin1, how do I configure interface eth1 ? | 04:58 |
| greatbitbucket | Hello, everyone! | 04:58 |

| kngoworld | Tons: i do have the modem package | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, cool.. I just dont want any new people seeing a comment and getting the wrong ideas. | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, i had to convince a guy at work that i COULD in fact legally give him OpenOffice. :) | 04:59 |

| luddite | in the 8.10 ubuntu what is the command to open the gui audio mixer | 04:59 |
| tonsofpc1 | kngoworld: it should tell you how... | 04:59 |
| soreau | dr_willis: lol | 04:59 |
| rww | Unr3a1: Nope, it happens to everyone. Most people use Synaptic, which will also do it automatically, so it's not usually a problem. | 04:59 |
| benjamin1 | dr_willis: thats not true, is it? ;) | 04:59 |
| therealnanotube | hey guys, anyone know of and/or using rsnapshot for backups? | 04:59 |
| tonsofpc1 | there is tethering software you need to run to make it a bound device, i know that, it's not blackberry specific [assuming the blackberry appears as a modem to the pc] | 04:59 |

| kngoworld | Soreau: there is a program called barry but I have not been able to install correctly, very new, also can not mount yet | 05:00 |
| Unr3a1 | soreau: thank you for your input as well... it is much appreciated | 05:00 |
| luddite | rww : brilliant thanks | 05:00 |
| soreau | kngoworld: Alright, what's wrong with installing this 'barry'? | 05:00 |
| tonsofpc1 | kngoworld: mounting is easy, when you connect it, choose mass storage mode | 05:00 |
| rww | luddite, Unr3a1: You're welcome :) | 05:00 |
| luddite | rww - ill add it to fluxboxs keys | 05:01 |
| soreau | Unr3a1: No problem. Repositories are very important. apt-get update should always work without errors | 05:01 |
| kngoworld | Tonsofpc1: I cant get the bluetooth on eee to connect to blackberry | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, yes.. The guy couldent understand how someone can legally give stuff away. :) | 05:01 |
| Unr3a1 | rww: if you dont mind, I just have one more question | 05:01 |
| Unr3a1 | rww: not related to apt-get | 05:01 |

| rww | Unr3a1: Feel free to ask. If I don't know, I'll just tell you to ask the whole channel :P | 05:01 |
| soreau | kngoworld: Hopefully tonsofpc1 has experience with black berry, I only have done my motorolla phone and a couple of ipods | 05:02 |
| tonsofpc1 | kngoworld: that's a problem then, isn't it | 05:02 |
| rww | Jaza: are you having a specific problem with it, or do you need a general overview? | 05:02 |
| kngoworld | couldd you help? | 05:02 |
| tonsofpc1 | kngoworld: yes, I have a blackberry | 05:02 |
| tonsofpc1 | no, I have not synced it to linux, yes I have mounted it | 05:02 |

| DavidC123 | gnea: yes the sound did work in vista | 05:14 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: yeah, but the USB and Sound plugs are separate | 05:14 |
| Cadman21 | just added a new theme and using the drag and drop method and its says "this theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine is not installed" how can I fix that | 05:14 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: it's not a single block of cords plugged into the motherboard. | 05:14 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay, and you're booted into ubuntu now? | 05:15 |

| tritium | Jaza: yes | 05:16 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: thats my graphics card I think | 05:16 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: no, graphics would be: lspci | grep VGA | 05:16 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: also sorry this is a new computer just got it 6 days ago. | 05:16 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: see how it says 'Audio device' :) | 05:17 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: it's okay | 05:17 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: if you type lspci by itself, it will list everything that's on your PCI bus | 05:17 |

| Gnea | DavidC123: hrm, please run this: sudo update-pciids | 05:18 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: then run those commands again | 05:18 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: this is what i got | 05:19 |
| tritium | Jaza: sure you can | 05:19 |
| DavidC123 | Downloaded daily snapshot dated 2008-12-14 03:15:01 | 05:19 |
| Jaza | It tells me it cannot unmount? | 05:19 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: good, now run: lspci | grep audio | 05:19 |
| DrZeus | hi all. Question: ever heard of/seen Acer Grid Vista? I was wondering if there was any multi window stack software like that for Linux? | 05:19 |
| Gnea | Jaza: you probably need to use the gparted livecd | 05:19 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: same thing as before 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio | 05:19 |
| Gnea | Jaza: can't resize a mounted partition | 05:19 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: what about VGA? | 05:20 |
| Jaza | Yes but it won't let me unmount either | 05:20 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: oh shit you think it could be because my monitor is hooked up through dvi | 05:20 |

| tritium | DavidC123: language, please | 05:20 |
| Gnea | Jaza: of course it won't, you need to use the livecd to do it without being booted into the harddrive | 05:20 |

| Geometrian | Hi, | 05:21 |
| Geometrian | I'm trying to install ubuntu on a computer, but it doesn't boot from the CD. I troubleshoot-ed it and determined that the necessary files aren't being written to the CD. Windows thinks it's completely blank and the disk doesn't show physical signs of being filled. I tried both Infra Recorder and ISO Recorder, and neither worked--the disk I get is still blank. Help, anyone? | 05:21 |
| tritium | DavidC123: no worries, thanks. | 05:21 |
| soreau | pan: What does 'lsmod|grep ath' say? | 05:21 |
| DrZeus | any ideas about a multi window display software, like Acer Grid Vista? | 05:21 |
| silv3r_m00n | what software can i use to scan from my scanner ? | 05:21 |
| Gnea | silv3r_m00n: gimp with xscan | 05:22 |
| tritium | silv3r_m00n: xsane | 05:22 |
| === sigsegv is now known as kavon | ||
| pan | it says | 05:22 |
| Gnea | silv3r_m00n: er yeah, xsane | 05:22 |

| pan | ath_pci wlan ath)hal | 05:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | Gnea: tritium : let me check | 05:22 |
| pan | ath_pci wlan ath_hal | 05:22 |
| tritium | silv3r_m00n: it's installed by default under Applications -> Graphics | 05:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: yes its there | 05:23 |
| silv3r_m00n | let me try | 05:23 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: also, would you please install the pastebinit program and use it to pastebin the output of the dmesg command? | 05:23 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: it cant find my scanner ... what else can i use | 05:23 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: no problem is that in the addremove programs thing | 05:24 |
| unlink | as of a recent kernel upgrade, when i resume from suspend, my screen is blank | 05:24 |
| unlink | and the framebuffer is blank as well | 05:24 |
| unlink | i can get X to work again with ctrl-alt-backspace | 05:24 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: i have this hp (printer+scanner in 1 ) ... ubuntu has the drivers for my printer... how can i check for the scanner | 05:24 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: it's easier to install from the terminal: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 05:24 |
| tritium | silv3r_m00n: xsane is the best bet. | 05:24 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: it showing no devices found | 05:25 |
| therealnanotube | silv3r_m00n: applications -> graphics -> xsane image scanner | 05:25 |
| DrZeus | is there anyway to stack windows, so you can see all of them at the same time in the screen? | 05:25 |
| acc_ | #ubuntu: I was trying to install the gnome and kde packages with aptitude, and failed when /var ran out of room. I am using LVM2 and successfully resized /var, so how do I pick up where I left off? "aptitude reinstall gnome kde" simply just re-installs the metapackages. Would "aptitude remove gnome kde && aptitude install gnome kde" be sufficient? | 05:26 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: therealnanotube : i forgot to power on my scanner :)) | 05:26 |
| Gnea | acc_: sudo apt-get -f install | 05:26 |
| DavidC123 | gnea:its installed then i put in dmesg really really long message came up. how do i use pastebin | 05:26 |
| therealnanotube | silv3r_m00n: hehe good one. :) | 05:26 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: dmesg | pastebinit | 05:27 |
| silv3r_m00n | therealnanotube: xsane has detected the scanner... now i shall try scanning something | 05:27 |
| tritium | silv3r_m00n: good ;) | 05:27 |
| acc_ | Gnea: Hmm, I thought I read that we were to favor aptitude over apt-get now? ;-)a | 05:27 |
| DavidC123 | gneo: http://pastebin.com/f72bd8d88 | 05:27 |
| Gnea | acc_: it doesn't matter. :) | 05:27 |
| Flannel | acc_, No, that's not true. | 05:27 |
| fiyawerx | Hey guys.. /quit | 05:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: ah coooool ... it worked perfect | 05:28 |
| ob_ | I just updated 8.10, and now my ati graphics card doesn't work. "sudo fglrx --initial --dtop=horizontal --resolution=0,1440x900" usually fixes a problem like this for me, but not this time. Any ideas? | 05:28 |
| tritium | silv3r_m00n: glad to hear it, buddy! | 05:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | ubuntu is really cool | 05:28 |
| Naicamine | how can i check my drivers to see which do not work? | 05:28 |
| magikfingerz | silv3r_m00n, man, you have awaken... :D | 05:28 |
| soreau | ob_: What does Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers say? | 05:28 |
| magikfingerz | welcome to the real world hehe... :p | 05:29 |
| soreau | Naicamine: That's a really broad question.. try being more specific | 05:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | magikfingerz: yeah ... i just realised that its been long since i booted into windows | 05:30 |
| Naicamine | soreau: sorry, just there was a website where i posted output of a command and it told me which drivers where working | 05:30 |
| ob_ | soreau, I'll have to get the answer from the console---gui doesn't work. | 05:30 |
| Naicamine | i cant remember the site or the command | 05:30 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: is this a desktop or laptop? | 05:30 |
| DavidC123 | gnea:desktop | 05:31 |
| ob_ | soreau, but fglrx is installed. | 05:31 |
| huxl3y_ | can anhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/90496/yone see why my wireless config isn't correct here's my bin: | 05:31 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: desktop | 05:31 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: it's very nice, BTW. :) | 05:31 |
| huxl3y_ | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/90496/ | 05:31 |
| acc_ | Gnea / Flannel: thanks for the pointer. | 05:31 |
| soreau | ob_: What does fglrxinfo say? | 05:31 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: yeah i built it myself very proud of myself. | 05:31 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay, it looks like it's some sort of Intel HD audio... | 05:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | tritium: one more thing.... i want to install some of those good themes i got from kde-looks .... but they need to be compiled i think | 05:31 |
| magikfingerz | soreau, sort of straange messages and configurations of your ATI card... :) | 05:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | where can i find drag drop install themes for kde | 05:32 |
| huxl3y_ | woops what I meant to say is can anyone see why my wireless build isn't correct here's my bin info: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/90496/ | 05:32 |
| soreau | magikfingerz: ? | 05:32 |
| ob_ | soreau, "unable to open display (null) | 05:32 |
| magikfingerz | soreau, but if you want to see something cool, try fgl_glxgears | 05:32 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: when I was hooking these little pins to motherboard there was also a ac97 should i have used that | 05:32 |
| Unr3a1 | rww: ok, after the update, sudo apt-get is working properly | 05:32 |
| soreau | ob_: From a terminal in X? | 05:32 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: nah, if you got it to work with vista, then it's hooked up right | 05:32 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: do you have any /dev/dsp* files? ls -l /dev/dsp* | 05:33 |
| tritium | silv3r_m00n: sorry, I don't use KDE. If you can't get an answer here, try asking in #kubuntu. | 05:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm sure | 05:33 |
| Unr3a1 | rww: shutdown and restart are still not working though | 05:33 |
| Unr3a1 | soreau: apt-get works now, but shutdown doesn't | 05:33 |
| darkwatersyntax | hey | 05:33 |
| soreau | Unr3a1: That's unfortunate | 05:33 |
| ob_ | soreau, not sure. I typed Ctl-Alt-F1 to get the console. | 05:33 |
| Arrick | is there a ubuntu support channel where people can get questions answered? | 05:34 |
| holycow | !project-neon | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about project-neon | 05:34 |
| soreau | ob_: That wont work. Use Applications>Accessories>Terminal | 05:34 |
| soreau | Arrick: no | 05:34 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: I dont know what that means. Type that into terminal then paste it into here | 05:34 |
| magikfingerz | Arrick, well if you are lucky... yes... :) | 05:34 |
| ob_ | soreau, I can't. The gui doesn't work. | 05:35 |
| soreau | ob_: Well that's a problem | 05:35 |
| Arrick | soreau yeah, thats what i thought, it seems as if every time I come in here im ignored for hours, and tend to get help from the ##windows channel before I can even be acknowledged in here. | 05:35 |
| holycow | is flash now natively available in a 64 bit package? the non free adobe version? | 05:35 |
| Arrick | thanks for confirming that though. | 05:35 |
| Unr3a1 | soreau: yea. I guess I will have to just deal with it, and use init | 05:35 |
| tritium | Arrick: are you asking for ubuntu support, or windows support? | 05:35 |
| Jaza | Gnea: I'm assuming once I burn the Gparted live CD I need to re-boot to it? | 05:35 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: yes. | 05:35 |
| soreau | Arrick: Google.com is a really cool site | 05:35 |
| Arrick | tritium ubuntu support | 05:35 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: well, no need to paste... just tell me how many return | 05:36 |
| Gnea | Jaza: correct. | 05:36 |
| Jaza | OK thanks | 05:36 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: I put /dev/dsp* files? ls -l /dev/dsp and it says permission denied | 05:36 |
| Gnea | good luck | 05:36 |
| IdleOne | Arrick, :) you stirring up trouble again old friend | 05:36 |
| ob_ | soreau, is there no solution to the problem? | 05:36 |
| darkwatersyntax | can I private chat with someone? I'm trying to install ubuntu and I'm at the prepare disk space screen and need some extra help | 05:36 |
| buttercups | ob_, have you tried sudo aticonfig --initial | 05:36 |
| Arrick | heya IdleOne | 05:36 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay... the command is this: ls -l /dev/dsp* | 05:36 |
| holycow | arrick the answer to your qeustion is no. | 05:37 |
| MTecknology | Anybody know why I can't connect to my vpn server? It works from a windows client remotely, but not from here. I'm not really sure how to diagnose is | 05:37 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: bash: -l: command not found sorry | 05:37 |
| holycow | Arrick: the kernel is fully modular on boot the system scans the hardware and loads modules for everything it recognizes | 05:37 |
| ob_ | buttercups, yes. Doesn't help. | 05:37 |
| soreau | ob_: Well, if X wont start, edit xorg.conf and change Driver in the Device section from "fglrx" to "vesa", then restart | 05:37 |
| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, is your disk empty...? :) | 05:37 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: i put sorry not terminal | 05:37 |
| Arrick | im trying to find out if there are drivers for my IBM thinkpad t60p before I try to install, becase in the last version, it didnt have any of the ethernet or wireless drivers on it for it | 05:37 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: clear your prompt and try again | 05:37 |
| holycow | Arrick: that means, if it is supported it works out of the box, if it doesn't its almost 99% sure its not supported | 05:37 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: it isn't I have XP on one partition I want to keep | 05:37 |
| holycow | very very few devices fall into the 1% left over | 05:37 |
| Arrick | Intel Pro 1000 wireless and wired? | 05:38 |
| holycow | Arrick: the general advice given to anyone installing linux is to do research prior to installation | 05:38 |
| magikfingerz | OK... so have you an empty partition apart from the used by XP...? :) | 05:38 |
| Arrick | holycow thats why I am asking here | 05:38 |
| tritium | Arrick: have you visted http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki | 05:38 |
| Arrick | not sure where to look about the drivers | 05:38 |
| Unr3a1 | soreau: alright, well, thank you for all the info. I really appreciate it | 05:38 |
| holycow | Arrick: yeah a quick way to check if eveything works is to download the live cd installer and run that | 05:38 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: yes, I want to do a dual boot | 05:38 |
| Arrick | Triphys looking now | 05:38 |
| soreau | Unr3a1: Wish I could help more :) | 05:39 |
| MTecknology | Arrick: that card off hand sound like it should just work | 05:39 |
| holycow | the live cd will bootup and you can check if everything works without touchign anything and spending hours googling | 05:39 |
| holycow | its the fastest way | 05:39 |
| tritium | Arrick: my T43p is supported quite well. I'd be willing to bet the T60 is equally well-supported. | 05:39 |
| holycow | i suppose we should have a some sort of device utility that checks against a master db of known working hardware and gives you a list instead, that would be easier | 05:39 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-12-21 23:53 /dev/dsp the /dev part has a black background with yellow text | 05:39 |
| Unr3a1 | soreau: hey, its no problem. dont worry about it. its not as if I am unable to shutdown the computer at all | 05:39 |
| Gnea | !laptop | Arrick | 05:39 |
| ubottu | Arrick: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 05:39 |
| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, cool, so what you need now...? :) | 05:39 |
| Unr3a1 | brb | 05:39 |
| holycow | and what whatsiface posted is correct took that list is quite good | 05:40 |
| soreau | Unr3a1: Yea, here's another one I like: sudo shutdown -h now | 05:40 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: I see. does this command work: alsamixer | 05:40 |
| soreau | woops | 05:40 |
| tritium | Gnea: thinkwiki is specific to thinkpads, and should serve him quite well | 05:40 |
| dopiwan | hey, in case any developers are in here just wanted to say wow, i just installed 64 bit amd and cant believe how awesome it is | 05:41 |
| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, what size is your another partition...? :) | 05:41 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: yes it does and I cant paste it it is like a graph of some sort | 05:41 |
| holycow | !flash | 05:41 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:41 |
| Gnea | tritium: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki should be added to the factiod then | 05:41 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: I cant find where to select the partition i want, its 20 gigs | 05:41 |
| holycow | dopiwan: is adobe flash native now on 64bit? | 05:41 |

| snikpo | What's the best way to update Java 6 in 8.10? | 05:41 |
| tritium | Gnea: it's specific to Thinkpads, not generic | 05:41 |
| holycow | snikpo: from the repos | 05:42 |
| dopiwan | holycow: no | 05:42 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: same one, it just scanned them and shows a list | 05:42 |
| holycow | dopiwan: thanks | 05:42 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: that's fine - it's actually a text-based GUI. if you move the arrow keys from right to left, you can select different elements.... we're looking for 2: Master and PCM. Are they there? And if so, do they have a 'MM' at the bottom of each 'graph'? | 05:42 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: its like /dev/sda | 05:42 |
| dopiwan | :) | 05:42 |
| Gnea | tritium: cool | 05:42 |
| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, OK... I guess you are installing ubuntu 8.10 right? | 05:42 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: ill take a ss | 05:42 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: correct | 05:42 |
| DavidC123 | and then upload to imageshack | 05:42 |
| Gnea | ok | 05:43 |

| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, ok... and, in the graphic showing your partition... can you sii if there is a division or something like that... or is painted in one color... | 05:44 |
| holycow | dopiwan: adobe says flash 10 is 64 bit native on linux NOT win or mac | 05:45 |
| holycow | lol | 05:45 |
| holycow | what an odd place we find our selves in | 05:45 |

| Lou_ | soreau, this ob back on the computer that is messed up, running with vesa now. Do you still want the results of fglrxinfo? | 05:50 |
| soreau | No | 05:51 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: I put the pulse stop and then ran alsamixer again and it still says pulseaudio | 05:51 |
| soreau | Lou_: Since you're using the vesa driver, fglrxinfo wont do much good | 05:51 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay, ESC and run this, tell me what number you get: ps axf | grep pulse | wc -l | 05:51 |
| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: ok I'm back at that screen you showed earlier | 05:51 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: 4 | 05:51 |
| unr3a1 | soreau: well, I am out. I gotta work tomorrow morning. have a good night. and thank you again for all the info. it is really appreciated... :) | 05:51 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: try this: killall -9 pulseaudio then see if the number changes | 05:52 |
| soreau | Lou_: But you can look for the log file of why x failed in /var/log.. It should be found with something like 'grep -R -i fglrx /var/log' | 05:52 |
| Rebecca_work | Gnea: so if mutt wasn't installed and after installing mutt shows no mail.. then previously mail to root@localhost was vanishing into nullville? | 05:52 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: sorry: sudo killall -9 pulseaudio | 05:52 |
| Naicamine | this is it!! : http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.cgi | 05:52 |
| * soreau stabs pulseaudio | 05:52 | |
| DavidC123 | gnea: it changed to 1 | 05:52 |
| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, ok, once you choose the manual option, then you will be able to choose where to install the system... | 05:52 |

| Gnea | DavidC123: that's fine, is alsamixer working anymore? | 05:55 |
| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, here first you must divide your partition in at least two parts | 05:55 |
| DavidC123 | it says for card hda intel | 05:55 |
| Neurologic | tritium, a game a friend of mine told me to try, Regnum Online | 05:55 |

| magikfingerz | darkwatersyntax, can you tell me if the partition to install ubuntu is detected as empty partition or free space...? | 05:56 |

| DavidC123 | gnea: not hearing any static | 05:58 |
| Rebecca_work | Gnea: so 'sudo mutt' won't work for reading root's email? | 05:58 |

| darkwatersyntax | magikfingerz: I'm not really sure, its not showing the names, you still want me at the prepare disk space and not where its prepare partitions correct? | 05:59 |
| Gnea | Rebecca_work: no, it means that another user account has been setup to recieve all of root@localhost's mail. you can find out with this: cat /etc/aliases | 05:59 |

| DarkWaterSyntax | magikfingerz: how exactly do I go about selecting them? | 06:07 |
| magikfingerz | DarkWaterSyntax, I guess it is NTFS because is your XP partition right? or maybe you have two partitions formatted with ntfs...? | 06:07 |
| DarkWaterSyntax | magikfingerz: nope this is the one I want ubuntu on | 06:08 |
| Lou_ | soreau, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90562/ | 06:08 |
| magikfingerz | DarkWaterSyntax, excellent so, choose the partition and then press "delete partition" don't be afraid, this does nothing, simply "marks" the partition for deletion | 06:09 |
| soreau | Lou_: That's the complete file? | 06:09 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: do you have any audio jacks in the rear of the desktop you could plug the speakers into? | 06:09 |
| flyguy97 | when you press ctl+c at the terminal what signal are you sending | 06:09 |
| DarkWaterSyntax | magikfingerz ok done | 06:09 |
| Gnea | flyguy97: break | 06:10 |

| Gnea | DavidC123: yeah | 06:10 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: they unplugged | 06:10 |
| magikfingerz | DarkWaterSyntax, after that, the partition is marked as free space, so choose that free space and press "create partition" | 06:10 |
| flyguy97 | gnea: thank you | 06:10 |
| DarkWaterSyntax | magikfingerz: just go forward now? | 06:10 |

| bighead47 | Flannel: But how? im dualbooting (xp-ubuntu) and i created this partition with XP so its ntfs, how can i change the type of it? | 06:31 |
| Some_Person | kubuntwo: I just need GParted and the ubuntu installer to be able to see my partitions | 06:31 |
| soreau | ricardo: What happened to glxinfo? | 06:31 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: did pulseaudio start again? | 06:31 |

| ubottu | 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 | 06:31 |
| ricardo | a min | 06:31 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: i just checked alsamixer and yes it did start | 06:31 |
| Some_Person | kubuntwo: A problem is making the last partition slightly larger than the disk actually is | 06:31 |
| Flannel | bighead47: How which part? You don't have any data on it and/or you already have the data backed up? | 06:31 |
| ricardo | where is that page to paste? | 06:32 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay, now we need to turn it off. permanently. ;) | 06:32 |

| DavidC123 | gnea: that will probably help a bunch | 06:32 |
| pedromenezes | my effects arent working on 8.10 in my dell inspiron 1525, what can I do? | 06:32 |
| jim_p | pedromenezes, are you on ati? | 06:32 |
| kubuntwo | Some_Person: hmm sorry no idea then. testdisk is always my last but best solution on partition problems | 06:32 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: let's make sure, first - sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop | 06:32 |
| ricardo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/90572/ there | 06:32 |
| soreau | ricardo: In order to use the settings in ccsm, you'll have to have compiz running, which means you'll have to have your graphics drivers installed correctly. Please come back to #compiz-fusion so we can help you better | 06:32 |
| pedromenezes | jim_p dunno, i recent bought it | 06:32 |
| pedromenezes | =| | 06:33 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: then make sure it's really all gone (seems to take a few seconds to fully shutdown): ps axf | grep pulseaudio | wc -l | 06:33 |
| NineTeen67Comet | can I use Conky to monitor some other servers in my network so they display on my desktop at my workstation? | 06:33 |

| jim_p | pedromenezes, lspci | grep VGA | 06:33 |
| bighead47 | Flannel: I recently installed ubuntu, with Wubi, and this partition just have ubuntu installed, so its empty, how can i apply a good format to run ubuntu properly | 06:33 |
| jim_p | NineTeen67Comet, monitor as in...? | 06:33 |

| DavidC123 | gnea: ill put that in | 06:34 |
| NineTeen67Comet | jim_p: well, so it'll monitor my network boxes like it can monitor my workstation .. so a server/client situation but display it on my desktop. | 06:34 |
| * NineTeen67Comet didn't mean that to sound snarky .. sorry if it came across that way .. | 06:34 | |
| QuiescentWonder | thank you | 06:34 |

| jim_p | pedromenezes, well can you set it (ubuntu) to use the default intel drivers? | 06:35 |
| NineTeen67Comet | jim_p: think Google just turned up a little tutorial .. | 06:35 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: then you'll need to: sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove | 06:35 |
| jim_p | NineTeen67Comet, monitor their activity? | 06:35 |
| pedromenezes | jim_P how? | 06:35 |
| bighead47 | no, i just download wubi and set it to install on a partition i made in windows (so its ntfs) | 06:35 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: ok done | 06:35 |
| Flannel | bighead47: So you're trying to install ubuntu with wubi? You don't need to partition for that | 06:36 |
| NineTeen67Comet | jim_p: Yeah, it'll monitor hdd use, network activity, ram, cpu load etc etc . I just want to have a few of my servers showing my live stats on my desktop .. | 06:36 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: ok, check System->Preferences->Sound | 06:36 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: everything is at autodetect | 06:36 |
| sparr | There does not seem to be a way to disable a single automatically detected mode (resolution + refresh rate) by way of xorg.conf. Is there some way to remove an incorrectly detected mode later, manually perhaps? | 06:37 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay, set them to ALSA | 06:37 |
| profXavier | anyone run Ubuntu in a virtual machine, on top of a Windows platform, if so, what are you using on the host to do so ? | 06:37 |
| bighead47 | Flannel: i know but i had this empty partition there | 06:37 |
| jim_p | NineTeen67Comet, that assumes you have a script that can ssh to the server and run an app like htop and return the output | 06:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | how can i reduce the size of icons in openoffice toolbars ? | 06:37 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: once that's done, try rhythmbox | 06:37 |
| jim_p | pedromenezes, let me find the compiz site | 06:37 |
| LurkersA | profXavier: Use VMware | 06:37 |
| LurkersA | profXavier: Works vica versa as well | 06:38 |
| Flannel | bighead47: Right, you don't need it. You'd be better off re-absorbing that partition into your main windows install, and then using wubi. Or just use that partition to install Ubuntu properly (not wubi, but real dualboot). If you want to do that, that's easy enough too. | 06:38 |
| blbrown | what is a simple image viewer I can just type at the command line | 06:38 |
| DavidC123 | gnea: darn still no sound | 06:38 |
| NineTeen67Comet | jim_p: Looks like a simply -X ssh session will do it. I'll just have to squirt out a bash script that'll fire it up .. | 06:38 |
| Circs | Flannel: I'm having a bit of an issue, when you get a moment could I get a hand? | 06:38 |
| profXavier | LurkersA do you use it yourself now ? | 06:38 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: okay, close rhythmbox, and try the cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp in the terminal again | 06:39 |
| bighead47 | Flannel: i used Wubi coz i can boot.. my cd-room is having some issues so i cant boot any windows now | 06:39 |
| Flannel | Circs: What options does it give you? We can just do manual resizing, it's easy enough | 06:39 |
| LurkersA | I have used it before profXavier. I use it to emulate other OSes on my Ubuntu too | 06:39 |
| bighead47 | Flannel: cant* | 06:39 |
| Circs | Flannel: Yeah it does, I'm just confused is all | 06:39 |
| DavidC123 | syntax error. Last token seen: / | 06:39 |
| DavidC123 | Garbled time | 06:39 |
| Gnea | what? | 06:39 |
| profXavier | LurkersA supposedly Server is free to use, but after downloading it, to start a new virtual machine, I cannot see where to do so | 06:40 |
| Flannel | bighead47: Er.. so, you already have a working wubi install? What are you trying to do with the other partition? I don't really understand | 06:40 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: are you sure you typed it correctly? | 06:40 |
| bluck | WHO CAN COMPILER A SOURCE FOR ME ? | 06:40 |

| pedromenezes | thanks, jim_p | 06:41 |
| bluck | ubottu ok | 06:41 |

| profXavier | LurkersA must you pay for Player though ? | 06:41 |
| bighead47 | Flannel: i have 2 problems, im getting this (Wrong format) error when ubuntu is loading, but i still log in. The second problem is that is says (in FileSystem) that i just have 1gb free and just 6 used.. but that partition (in windows) have 30gb | 06:41 |
| Gnea | DavidC123: GOOD. that means it's working like it should | 06:41 |

| zerodevice | i have my bluetooth device connected to ubuntu | 06:42 |
| Circs | Flannel: What do you need to know to help me? | 06:42 |
| Flannel | bighead47: Right, with a wubi install, you have a "virtual" partition which is just a big file on your windows. That's the freespace wubi is reporting, is how much of that fileis empty space | 06:42 |
| zerodevice | but i cant scan the ubuntu from my phone | 06:42 |
| LurkersA | profXavier: Workstation is the one you want if you want to shell out $400, but it is just, the most awesome product I have ever used.... But player does the job | 06:42 |

| bluck | Gnea fuck u | 06:45 |
| Flannel | Circs: Right. Easy to do. If this is brand new, the first thing you should do is defragment the harddrive through windows. This isn't really necessary, but having a non-fragmented (it may already be non-fragmented) windows partition makes it easier to shrink | 06:45 |
| jim_p | zeno, serial! | 06:45 |

| Gnea | ksbalaji: cheers | 06:46 |
| jim_p | zerodevice, i would try closing network manager for a start and retry | 06:46 |
| Flannel | Circs: alright, before we start the installer, fire up Gparted and shrink it (create as much freespace as you want) | 06:46 |
| jim_p | zeno, serial interface. or parallel | 06:46 |
| zerodevice | jim_p, you mean the network service from the bluetooth? | 06:47 |

| jim_p | NineTeen67Comet, i think you are doing it the wrong way. i think running ONE conky on the monitoring pc and use the output of some other app to monitor the server. maybe some nagios will do | 06:52 |

| jim_p | NineTeen67Comet, cant nagios output to text? simple text. otherwise point it (conky) to the nagios web interface and use grep to isolate the info you need | 06:55 |
| Jgamerx | thx guys | 06:55 |
| Pilot_51 | I installed Skype on my laptop a couple days ago with no problem | 06:55 |
| Pilot_51 | native of course | 06:55 |
| the_newbie | Jgamerx, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 06:55 |
| NineTeen67Comet | jim_p: yes it can, but still, it doesn't simply show live stats on my desktop "stuck to my desktop" like GKrellM and Conky can .. Nagios is also a bear to keep setup .. I've got 14 machines (8 servers) and setting Nagios up for them took days for me. | 06:56 |
| jim_p | NineTeen67Comet, make a script then that will run the conky right after ssh login | 06:57 |
| ggeecko | i made a symlink and I wanna delete but keep getting this .....Error "Not on the same file system" | 06:58 |
| NineTeen67Comet | jim_p: that's what I'm thinking might work .. just need to find out how to give my pw when the script knocks on the other machines ssh door .. | 06:58 |

| nagchampa | i want to use normal resolutions, but no desktop effects | 07:06 |
| nagchampa | there has to be a way just to disable desktop effects on the install cd | 07:07 |
| gaintsura | O.o | 07:07 |
| nagchampa | but otherwise install normally | 07:07 |
| _2 | gaintsura if by disk you intended to mean filesystem then fsck. | 07:07 |
| shani^work | jim_p : 3d Labs inc. | 07:07 |
| ZhuchoG | nagappan, did you install video drivers? | 07:07 |
| nagchampa | did you mean me ZhuchoG ? | 07:07 |
| kubuntwo | ggeecko: sure that its the symlink you want to delete? | 07:07 |
| nagchampa | where do i install the video drivers, ii would think the xorg drivers would all be installed, and it's just got to be configured differently | 07:08 |
| nagchampa | how's that managed in ubuntu? | 07:08 |
| gaintsura | BusyBox v 1.1.3 Enter help for a list of built-in commands\r\n(initramfs) [198.890802] ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) | 07:08 |
| kubuntwo | ggeecko: you have to unlink the symlink. not the folder you have linked to | 07:08 |
| gaintsura | ^^ WTF | 07:08 |
| ZhuchoG | nagappan, what video card you have? | 07:08 |
| nagchampa | i'm not nagappan btw :P | 07:08 |
| shani^work | jim_p : Do ubuntu support this graphic/video card ? 01:001 Display Controller : 3dLabs WildCar III 6210 (rev 01) by 3b Labs inc. | 07:09 |
| _2 | gaintsura looks like the "initramfs" i.e. probably didn't finish booting. | 07:09 |
| ggeecko | kubuntwo: I wanna delete the shortcut I placed on my desktop | 07:09 |
| jim_p | shani^work, the thing is "does linux support this?" | 07:09 |
| ZhuchoG | emm | 07:09 |
| ZhuchoG | i stupid :)) | 07:09 |
| jim_p | shani^work, i have only found one similar reference in gentoo wiki | 07:09 |
| kubuntwo | ggeecko: so its not unlink /mnt/disk... its unlink ~/Desktop/your.symlink | 07:09 |
| nagchampa | intel 845 | 07:09 |
| ZhuchoG | nagchampa, in xorg.conf intel driver? | 07:10 |
| shani^work | jim_p : I am sure it supports cause on the manufacturer website the drivers for suse , redhat is available , I think ubuntu never worked on this cause there is no thread on forums or in bugs report | 07:10 |
| gaintsura | _2 this system has (over the past 12 hours) become SO incredibly slow at bios that I'm considering telling the owner it has uber fail and never buy compaq again | 07:10 |
| jim_p | shani^work, do you have a url for drivers for it? | 07:10 |
| nagchampa | it's probably the vesa driver | 07:11 |
| nagchampa | yeah, vesa | 07:11 |
| ggeecko | kubuntwo: worked....thx | 07:11 |
| kubuntwo | ggeecko: welcome | 07:11 |
| nagchampa | like i said, i had to install using safe mode grpahics | 07:11 |
| jim_p | nagchampa, for the intel card? | 07:11 |
| shani^work | jim_p : hold on let me find it | 07:11 |
| nagchampa | yes jim_p, for the intel card | 07:11 |
| holycow | . | 07:11 |
| nagchampa | there is only one card | 07:11 |
| ZhuchoG | nagchampa, make "intel" in driver | 07:12 |
| jim_p | nagchampa, the driver for intel cards is named "intel" | 07:12 |
| nagchampa | the problem is this all or nothing approach ubuntu seems to have | 07:12 |
| nagchampa | you can't just say, use the normal driver, just disable the desktop effects | 07:12 |
| gaintsura | hmm, anyone know why initramfs keeps giving me that message? | 07:13 |
| jim_p | nagappan, but the intel driver can do desktop effects | 07:13 |
| DarkKnight | hey can anyone help me with this....when i run fsck it shows me this message: fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=ab5d3f4d-1d37-4614-aad3-d3051671a4db' | 07:13 |
| nagchampa | yes, i know what the driver is called | 07:14 |
| dyf | hello.. i have a problem.. when i hit ctrl-alt-f1.. the screen flickers and i can't see the command line | 07:14 |
| shani^work | jim_p : here is the link of driver : http://www.3dlabs.com/content/Legacy/drivers/driverSelect.asp | 07:14 |
| _2 | DarkKnight use real device addressing | 07:14 |
| Pilot_51 | Does Ubuntu have an Alt+Tab equivalent? | 07:15 |
| DarkKnight | _2; real device addressing...whats that?? | 07:15 |
| jim_p | shani^work, which one is yours? | 07:15 |
| jim_p | Pilot_51, yea... alt+tab | 07:15 |
| _2 | DarkKnight fsck /dev/hda9 <<< example only. blkid can show what is where... | 07:15 |

| nibbler | pyrak: you just have to know how they are called | 07:19 |
| jim_p | shani^work, let me look it up | 07:19 |
| shani^work | jim_p : i am waiting for your responce | 07:19 |
| GodfatherofEire | Whats the terminal command for exiting an application, but not FORCING it to exit? Like, just basically telling it to exit properly? | 07:20 |
| nibbler | pyrak: fglrx is ati if i'm right, might be mistaken | 07:20 |
| vermont | what's that one applet thing thats like windows sidebar? | 07:20 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: hello. i have a usb memory stick, but i haven't formatted it. but i am familiar with formatting. what is the question? | 07:20 |
| === sm is now known as Guest31278 | ||
| pyrak | nibbler, http://pastebin.com/d27068489 | 07:20 |
| _2 | DarkKnight then your system isn't seeing any filesystems .... but that can't be.... idk. | 07:21 |
| === core5 is now known as cew_BeTe | ||
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: i played once with that but it's been to long , so i don,t remember. It shows me 2 partition | 07:21 |
| === cew_BeTe is now known as cewbEte | ||
| jim_p | shani^work, there is install.s that does the compile and install | 07:22 |
| nibbler | pyrak: no idea, try lshw :) | 07:22 |
| === cewbEte is now known as cew_BetE | ||
| kubuntwo | GodfatherofEire: you can send the desired command using kill -SIGNUM where SIGNUM is the signal you want to send. i think you want the TERM signal which is number 15 | 07:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | Anybody know what that command would be? | 07:22 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: 1 in fat 16 and 1 in ext2 | 07:22 |
| DarkKnight | _2; actually i have 2 HDD's...one HDD has XP and the other Ubuntu...so before booting i select which HDD i require | 07:22 |
| shani^work | jim_p : can i install redhat drivers available for my video card on ubuntu ? | 07:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | kubuntwo thanks | 07:22 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: your usb stick it showing as if it has two partitions? ok | 07:22 |
| cew_BetE | cew aQ | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | blghkljnf | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | gkhjfgjhgkjnlg | 07:23 |
| kubuntwo | GodfatherofEire: welcome. better example: kill -15 13245 (12345 is the PID. you can get it with ps ax) | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | BETE | 07:23 |
| FloodBot2 | cew_BetE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | BETE | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | BETE | 07:23 |
| FloodBot2 | cew_BetE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:23 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: thats normal with what i ve done. so now i want to make just one in fat | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | BETE BANGED | 07:23 |
| GodfatherofEire | kubuntwo, what if I dont know the PID? | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | BETE BANGED | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | SEBEL | 07:23 |
| jim_p | shani^work, its not an actual red hat package. its a zip file containing the sources and a script | 07:23 |
| cew_BetE | NYEBELIN | 07:23 |
| FloodBot2 | cew_BetE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:23 |
| luddite | y audio wont allow multiple apps to play at once | 07:23 |
| _2 | DarkKnight show me the command you typed | 07:24 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: you want to make it so that it's just one partition on there? | 07:24 |
| kubuntwo | GodfatherofEire: you can check the pid with "ps ax | grep appnametoken" for example if you want to kill pidgin you type "ps ax | grep pidgin" to get its pid | 07:24 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: yes | 07:24 |
| DarkKnight | _2; u mean blkid | 07:24 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: ok, so use parted or gparted to repartition it | 07:24 |
| _2 | DarkKnight yes full line | 07:24 |
| dyf | hello.. i have a problem.. when i hit ctrl-alt-f1.. the screen flickers and i can't see the command line | 07:24 |
| GodfatherofEire | kubuntwo, any simpler way? | 07:24 |
| DarkKnight | _2; okk a sec | 07:24 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: gparted, is open...how ? | 07:25 |
| kubuntwo | GodfatherofEire: not from konsole afaik. you can also check the pid with "top" | 07:25 |
| cew_BetE | gah isok | 07:25 |
| GodfatherofEire | That doest require opening a terminal (Just trying to get Pidgin, etc to exit properly via GNOME Do) | 07:25 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: unmount first | 07:25 |
| jim_p | shani^work, the script does make an .rpm file in the end though | 07:25 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: in the far upper right corner you should be able to select the device | 07:25 |
| vermont | I heard there was something like window's sidebar but i forgot the name of it | 07:25 |
| qcjn | it is selected | 07:25 |
| DarkKnight | _2; http://paste.ubuntu.com/90599/ | 07:26 |
| jim_p | shani^work, so better extract the sources and make install it yourself | 07:26 |
| cew_BetE | cccccccccccccccccuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeebbbbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllll | 07:26 |
| nagchampa | wtf | 07:26 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: it is selected | 07:26 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: yes. you don't want ti mounted while you repartition it or format it. i think gaprted formats it when it's done partitioning | 07:26 |
| onetinsoldier | it* | 07:26 |
| ZhuchoG | vermont, screenlets? | 07:26 |
| _2 | DarkKnight bery odd, can't happen ! | 07:27 |
| vermont | ZhuchoG: I'm not sure i just want like an rss feed a weather thing and a calender | 07:27 |
| _2 | very | 07:27 |
| GodfatherofEire | kubuntwo, any ideas on what I would use for GNOME Do so that I could shut it down? | 07:28 |
| DarkKnight | _2; wonder | 07:28 |
| ZhuchoG | vermont, you may use KDE4 with plasmoids :) | 07:28 |
| ZhuchoG | or use screenlets | 07:28 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: when i unmount the other one it looks like the first one get's mounted again | 07:28 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: maybe i have to redimension | 07:29 |
| ZhuchoG | but i like conky for this | 07:29 |
| kubuntwo | GodfatherofEire: you can simply use the gnome process viewer (dont know what its named in ubuntu because i am on kde). press ctrl+esc to spawn it. there you should be able to kill the processes with the signal you want | 07:29 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: the system is auto-mounting it i think | 07:29 |
| luddite | i cant kill a process using kill | 07:29 |
| vermont | zhuchog is that Kubuntu thing, cause I'm running Ubuntu...or does it work on both | 07:29 |
| _2 | DarkKnight maybe try sudo rm /etc/blkid.tab* ;sudo blkid | 07:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | kubuntwo, forget it, itd be easier just to close it I think | 07:30 |
| zeno | how to remove all old kernels and associated stuff? | 07:30 |
| zeno | need space | 07:30 |
| _2 | DarkKnight should clear it's cache and rebuild it. | 07:30 |
| kubuntwo | GodfatherofEire: :) ok. | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | hey all, how can qcjn keep the system from auto-mounting a usb stick? he wants partition it | 07:30 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: could it be that i have to delete one | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: maybe | 07:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 07:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | how can i add more users ? | 07:31 |
| DarkKnight | _2; http://paste.ubuntu.com/90602/ | 07:31 |
| GodfatherofEire | onetinsoldier: why not just use umount? | 07:31 |
| smokeymirror | hey is any help active right now? | 07:31 |
| _2 | DarkKnight yeah that's more like it. | 07:31 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire: he say he has 2 partitions. he umounts one then it auto-mounts the other | 07:31 |
| DarkKnight | _2; ya..so we need sudo | 07:32 |
| GodfatherofEire | onetinsoldier, thats odd | 07:32 |
| ZhuchoG | vermont, screenlets in repository and you dont need kde for it. conky too | 07:32 |
| qcjn | GodfatherofEire: that's what i did but when i umont the second one the first one gets mounted again | 07:32 |
| smokeymirror | hey guys | 07:32 |
| _2 | DarkKnight doesn't need it here, it's possably a group/permissions issue for you. but at any rate, the "real" device is the /dev/* column | 07:32 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire: i thought so too.. | 07:32 |
| vermont | thanks ZhuchoG | 07:32 |
| GodfatherofEire | Then again, I've never dealt with a partitioned USB key before | 07:32 |
| smokeymirror | would anyone here be able to help me with tethering and 64bit ubuntu? | 07:33 |
| shani^work` | Sorry Got DC | 07:33 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: ok, i think i ll try to delete | 07:33 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: are you sure it's auto-mounting? you sure the one partition get mounted when unmount the other? have you checked by typing just 'mount' on a command line? | 07:33 |
| shani^work` | jim_p : i was got disconnected | 07:33 |
| paul68 | is there a irc channel for questions concerning iptables? | 07:33 |
| _2 | DarkKnight you can compare the uuid from your fsck command and the real device run fsck on the real device if it happens to be mounted either dismount or remount readonly first. | 07:33 |
| jim_p | shani^work, did you get my last message? | 07:33 |
| GodfatherofEire | well, sorry I couldnt help, not sure I'd be much help anyway, cause I kinda screwed up my last attempt at partitioning. | 07:34 |
| shani^work` | jim_p : so you told that in the end it gives .rpm file ? then will it supports the ubuntu 8.10 ? | 07:34 |
| GodfatherofEire | Suffice it to say, that didnt go well | 07:34 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: i don't really understand you,re proposition | 07:34 |
| _2 | DarkKnight if you need more info just give a yell | 07:34 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: pen the terminal and type ??? | 07:34 |
| jim_p | shani^work, in order to avoid that .rpm, which is not installable on ubuntu, you will compile the driver from source | 07:35 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: open | 07:35 |
| shani^work` | jim_p : but the source is not available to download :/ , | 07:35 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: ok, now simply type in --> mount | 07:35 |
| zeno | how to remove all old kernels and associated stuff? | 07:35 |
| GodfatherofEire | jim_p, theres always alieb | 07:35 |
| onetinsoldier | zeno: dpkg --purge <package> | 07:35 |
| GodfatherofEire | !alien | shani^work | 07:35 |
| ubottu | shani^work: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 07:35 |
| DarkKnight | _2; ya...so the problem is with files of the other disk i suppose...bcoz it clearly indicated that they are ntfs paartitions... | 07:36 |
| kubuntwo | shani^work`: if you really need to install a rpm use "alien" but i dont recommend it :) | 07:36 |
| jim_p | GodfatherofEire, i dont trust alien. if i have to convert something to a .deb, i'd mbetter build it from source to a .deb | 07:36 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: i can see them | 07:36 |
| jim_p | shani^work, it is! | 07:36 |
| onetinsoldier | zeno: might be better to use aptitude... then find the package and use the underscore key | 07:36 |
| jim_p | shani^work, it is in the file i just downloaded | 07:36 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: so, they show as being mounted? | 07:36 |
| GodfatherofEire | jim_p, I havent had a problem yet, but I would do the same, but seeing as how its not available, then you gotta do what you have to | 07:37 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: here's one /dev/sdd2 on /media/disk-1 type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 07:37 |
| _2 | DarkKnight caution, partition type is not always equal filesystem type. blkid and fdisk -l may yeld different types for a given device | 07:37 |
| jim_p | zeno, dpkg -r package --purge | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: wb, why are you so quiet? :-) | 07:37 |
| shani^work` | jim_p : so i have to use alien to install it ? or i should recompile it ? i m puzzeld , i have to fix it cause its my job in a company :/ | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: yep... looks like it's mounted | 07:37 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: chatting with people in kde-cafe, and working on learning about documents in kde | 07:38 |
| jim_p | shani^work, i would compile it from source, and into a .deb if you want | 07:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: roger that | 07:38 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: so the only way out i can think of is deleting one, as soon as i unmount it | 07:38 |
| shani^work` | jim_p : plz do it, i will be thankful to you | 07:38 |
| chalcedony | does anyone know if there is a wiki thing that will run on ubuntu? | 07:38 |
| chalcedony | i decided i like how mediawiki works | 07:39 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: what you think ?? | 07:39 |
| _2 | DarkKnight also looking at gparted might be helpful, just a thought. | 07:39 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: might do the trick, but i think there should be some way to keep the system from auto-mounting either one at all. i'm trying to look and see what i can find. but you can try whatever you want if you want | 07:39 |
| ushimitsudoki | chalcedony: for your own use? check zim out | 07:39 |
| chalcedony | ushimitsudoki: yes | 07:40 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: i'd imagine :) | 07:40 |
| zeno | jim_p, thx | 07:40 |
| Org-Mode | chalcedony: yeah like ushimitsudoki said, zim is bout the best desktop wiki for linux | 07:40 |
| chalcedony | ive been using vim .. | 07:40 |
| Org-Mode | :/ | 07:40 |
| joejc | anyone know if its possible to use an ipod as an external hd to run ubuntu off of | 07:40 |
| _2 | chalcedony vim != zim | 07:41 |

| Jangari | I've switched to using alpine for email and I'm configuring it as my 'preferred' email application with the command '/usr/bin/alpine "%s"', except if I click on a mailto: link on a webpage, it'll open up an alpine message window with "mailto:[emailaddres]" as the to: field. Is there a way to strip it out? | 07:53 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: i don't know what to think | 07:53 |
| _2 | mib_n9780p88 yeah. samba | 07:54 |
| Kernel | !puregnome | 07:54 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » | 07:54 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: but it,s not closed, it says to wait but it doesn't move,..stay's at 1/3 | 07:54 |

| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 07:56 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: here's the report http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1291323 | 07:56 |
| onetinsoldier | the purgegnome in ubottu seems a little backwards there | 07:56 |
| arunvkumar | anybdy know any video and audio chat soft other than kopete? | 07:56 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier why ? | 07:57 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| arunvkumar | anybdy know any video and audio chat soft other than kopete? | 07:57 |
| holycow | ubotu is shared by #kubuntu and #ubuntu | 07:57 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier you can remove things that are running without it killing them depending on the shell scripts in the package of course | 07:57 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier or was that not a typo "purgegnome" ? | 07:58 |
| arunvkumar | anybdy know any video and audio chat soft other than kopete? | 07:58 |
| arunvkumar | anybdy know any video and audio chat soft other than kopete? | 07:59 |
| _2 | !repete | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about repete | 07:59 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: perhaps i'm not seeing something right there? it seems to me that it tells you how to purge kde... not gnome | 07:59 |
| mib_n9780p88 | _2 there is samba, gsambad and kinfocenter, just the regular samba you recommend? | 07:59 |
| Jangari | !alpine | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alpine | 07:59 |
| Jangari | gah | 08:00 |
| Jangari | !pine | 08:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pine | 08:00 |
| onetinsoldier | !purgegnome | 08:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about purgegnome | 08:00 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier correct, you are not seeing it right, and thus didn't spell it correctly. "puregnome" | 08:00 |
| LurkersA | !chocolate | 08:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about chocolate | 08:00 |
| LurkersA | Drat | 08:00 |
| LurkersA | :( | 08:00 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier as in "purekde" | 08:00 |
| onetinsoldier | !puregnome | 08:00 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » | 08:00 |
| Flannel | Jangari: pine is non-free, we use mutt instead. You'll want to look into registering it with the alternatives system. Your original question didnt make sense, what's your problem? | 08:00 |
| onetinsoldier | ok.. thats how you 'purge gnome'? | 08:00 |
| Jangari | i use alpine, but i find that people still refer to it as pine | 08:01 |
| _2 | pure != purge purekde will purge gnome | 08:01 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier ^ | 08:01 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: here,s what it says in the terminal , since i've opened gparted from the terminal http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1291326 | 08:01 |
| Jangari | my problem is that the to: field gets filled with the address including the 'mailto:' protocol... actually, i haven't tested whether that's even a problem. hold on a sec | 08:01 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: ok... it just struckme as strange that purgegnome tells you how to remove KDE right off the bat | 08:02 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier incorrevt | 08:02 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier incorrect | 08:02 |
| trifecta | what | 08:02 |
| trifecta | hello | 08:02 |
| arunvkumar | anybdy know any video and audio chat soft other than kopete? | 08:02 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier the word is not "purge" it is "pure" puregnome | 08:02 |
| Flannel | !repeat | arunvkumar | 08:02 |
| ubottu | arunvkumar: 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 | 08:02 |
| LurkersA | arunvkumar: amsn | 08:02 |
| LurkersA | Flannel: To be fair, he did wait ~5mins | 08:03 |
| arunvkumar | LurkersA: not for msn its yahoo | 08:03 |
| akahige1 | ever since updating my hardy system to intrepid, my video performance has been completely borked. is there a way to revert to the hardy version of xorg? would that even work? | 08:04 |
| Jangari | hmm, the mailto: doesn't block the message, but it screws the header slightly | 08:04 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier thus it follows that if one want's a "puregnome" system they would have to purge kde and any other desktop besides gnome | 08:04 |
| LurkersA | arunvkumar: Ah, wasn't specified | 08:04 |
| Flannel | Jangari: that sounds like a misconfiguration in the browser itself, actually. | 08:04 |
| holycow | akahige1: well you can compile from scratch and install but its a good bit of work | 08:04 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: it's a little hard for me to read some of that since it's not in my native tongue, but perhaps there's something wrong with your usb stick? | 08:04 |
| holycow | akahige1: it would be easier to just reinstall | 08:04 |
| holycow | what video card are you using? | 08:04 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: ok, i'm looking.. hang on | 08:05 |
| arunvkumar | LurkersA: sory | 08:05 |
| arunvkumar | is thr any soft | 08:05 |
| arunvkumar | ?? | 08:05 |
| LurkersA | arunvkumar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients Take a look there for one that suits your needs | 08:05 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: coult it be that there is something with read and write right's ? | 08:05 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: ok.. i see. sure enough, i read it wrong! | 08:05 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier also if one wants a "purekde" system they would have to purge gnome from their system | 08:05 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier :) | 08:06 |
| arunvkumar | LurkersA: ok thnk u | 08:06 |
| * onetinsoldier puts on his glasses à° à°šà° | 08:06 | |

| Jangari | pfft | 08:06 |
| Jangari | i can't believe no one tried that | 08:06 |
| onetinsoldier | qcjn: could be... | 08:06 |
| _2 | Jangari they did | 08:06 |
| Jangari | oh, okay | 08:06 |
| akahige1 | holycow: reinstall hardy? | 08:07 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: qcjn is trying to repartition his usb stick. would you care to take a quick look? | 08:07 |
| chalcedony | _2 do you like vim better or do you have other things you like better? | 08:07 |
| _2 | pastebin ? | 08:07 |
| _2 | chalcedony i generally use mc for editing | 08:08 |
| _2 | chalcedony i'm not a vim fan nor do i care for emacs | 08:08 |
| chalcedony | _2: what's that? | 08:08 |
| _2 | !info mc | 08:08 |
| ubottu | mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:4.6.2~git20080311-2 (intrepid), package size 2085 kB, installed size 6256 kB | 08:08 |

| chalcedony | i knew about the file manager, i'm a command line fain | 08:09 |
| chalcedony | fan | 08:09 |
| _2 | chalcedony example: mc -e ~/.bash_history | 08:09 |
| bullgard4 | Nautilus shows for every listed file a 'Type'. What file lists all possible 'Types' that Nautilus can show? | 08:09 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: qcjn gets an error that has me wondering if the usb stick has gone bad. here is the pastebin. http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1291326 | 08:09 |

| _2 | qcjn can you run the command again but prepend lc_all please. LC_ALL=C <command here> | 08:11 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it's basiclly just the type of file it is, eg: normally based of the extension of the file | 08:11 |
| moza | hello, i'm looking for a chan about computer screws, does anybody have an idea where i could find something like that? | 08:11 |

| chalcedony | moza: maybe #hardware | 08:11 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier yeah i'm trying to get him to translate it for us | 08:11 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: What do you mean by "the" gnome docs? I do not know a collection that is comprehensive. | 08:11 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: docs.gnome.org | 08:11 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: roger that | 08:11 |

| ikonia | AnythingJe: thats only a meta package | 08:28 |
| Flannel | Draceee: Alright, do this: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* && sudo apt-get update | 08:28 |
| qcjn | _2: yes, thanks, says everything was succesful | 08:29 |
| _2 | qcjn welcome | 08:29 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: did you figure out what was going on with qcjn's usb stick? | 08:29 |
| AnythingJe | ikonia: So removing it won't do anything? | 08:29 |
| Flannel | Draceee: if you're worried about removing those, you can do this first: cp /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* ~/dpkg/temp | 08:29 |
| ikonia | AnythingJe: not really | 08:29 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier see above your post ^ | 08:29 |
| qcjn | onetinsoldier: thanks to you to | 08:29 |
| samhassell | AnythingJe: rename /etc/rc2.d/S25pulseaudio to ~s25pulseaudio | 08:29 |
| Draceee | How do I copy from here? | 08:29 |
| samhassell | AnythingJe: that will stop it loading on boot | 08:29 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier in short trying to partition a dvd was the error | 08:30 |

| onetinsoldier | _2: roger that | 08:30 |

| terryx | please help me someone | 08:34 |
| Draceee | Ok done without error | 08:34 |
| Flannel | Draceee: Just the mkdir and the copy? | 08:34 |
| Draceee | mkdir -p ~/dpkg/temp returns nothing | 08:34 |
| ikonia | terryx: I old you, ask a question and wait for a response, constantly making noise about it won't get you far | 08:34 |
| _2 | Draceee it shouldn't return anything, no error means no error | 08:35 |
| Draceee | Right | 08:35 |
| terryx | ok plz hurry | 08:35 |
| dangit | does anyone know a good visual tail tool that allows for stuff like highlighting? | 08:35 |

| ValentineX | How to fix this movie playback problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=493901&page=2 | 08:37 |
| Draceee | Sweet, it worked | 08:37 |
| Draceee | Thank you very much good sir | 08:37 |
| Flannel | Draceee: That sometimes happens if you lose power/interrupt/etc stuff while its doing package management stuffs. Also, now do this: rm -r ~/dpkg | 08:37 |
| soreau | Lou_: Which video card model do you have? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: slow movie playback is normally down to a.) a bad video codec support b.) your video card not setup correctly c.) your machine not powerful enough to play it back | 08:37 |
| Draceee | Yea i believe thats what happened | 08:38 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: but at windows it was all fine :( | 08:38 |
| Draceee | Well thanks | 08:38 |
| Draceee | Im off now | 08:38 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: how does that effect anything ? | 08:38 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: windows does not have the same codec support, your video card support is different, so only c.) is removed | 08:38 |
| Lou_ | soreau, radeon 1950, I think. | 08:39 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: how to setup my card? | 08:39 |
| soreau | Lou_: lspci|grep VGA | 08:39 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: what video card do you have ? | 08:39 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: intel 82865G integrated Graphics controllet | 08:40 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: thats normally setup fine by X out of the box | 08:40 |
| ValentineX | controller* | 08:41 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: what codec is the file encoded with and what player are you using to play it with ? | 08:41 |
| prodigel | hi all. anyone using elinks? (#elinks channel is idle) I'm trying to remap "open in new background tab" action to ctrl-enter and it doesn't work. | 08:41 |

| _2 | is the epiphany browser taboo or something ? i have asked about this error message several times over the last two days and no one has acted like they even saw my question. or am i invisable ? | 08:41 |

| _2 | ** (epiphany:4884): WARNING **: Unable to connect to session bus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus | 08:41 |
| ikonia | _2: if no-one knows the answer, they won't respond | 08:42 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: Hmmm I wonder if your card is using hardware accelration | 08:42 |
| Lou_ | soreau, I completely removed fglrx files and reinstalled them, using synoptic. | 08:43 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: what | 08:43 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: have you checked launchpad for bug reports on epiphany? | 08:43 |
| _2 | ikonia normally i agree. but i have addressed it in several ways, not the least of is "can anyone help me find out what message bus this error is talking about, could it be dbus by any chance" which normally would have gotten some sort of a response | 08:44 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: if you do a glxgears -info in aterminal look at the text it displays, do you see GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI Intel(R) in the text (scroll up) | 08:44 |
| soreau | Lou_: The ati open drivers have preliminary support for your card. If you would like to try them, remove all fglrx packages, run /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh if it exists, then install xserver-xorg-video-ati and change "fglrx" to "ati" in xorg.conf | 08:44 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier no but im using dapper, surely the bugs would have been addressed by now. | 08:44 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: oh, i see, and i agree. | 08:44 |
| ikonia | _2: new bugs are found every day | 08:45 |
| pusycat81 | salut | 08:45 |
| _2 | but the package hasn't been updated/patched in months | 08:45 |
| Lou_ | soreau, will that driver support 2 monitors at 1440x900 resolution? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | _2: so ? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | _2: new bugs are found every day | 08:45 |
| _2 | true | 08:45 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: GL_RENDERER = Software Rasterizer | 08:45 |
| ikonia | ah ha ! | 08:46 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: it's using software aceleration, which is why it's slow | 08:46 |
| ValentineX | :-S | 08:46 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: so? | 08:46 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: if you edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and scroll down to a place where you see Identifier "Configured Video Device" | 08:46 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: do you have anything under that line ? | 08:47 |
| Draceee | I installed a package...where can I find it now? | 08:47 |
| soreau | Lou_: What is the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE'? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Draceee: what package | 08:47 |
| Draceee | Skype | 08:47 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: how to edit that file xorg.conf | 08:47 |
| ikonia | dangit: it will be on your applications menu | 08:47 |
| onetinsoldier | Draceee: dpkg -L <package_name> | less | 08:47 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: open it with a text editor | 08:47 |
| DefamedPrawn | hey I just tried to put my ubuntu 8.10 PC on suspend, and now it won't come out again. Is there some combination of keys I'm supposed to use, or should I force restart? | 08:47 |
| _2 | ikonia at any rate, it's more likely something NOT RUNNING on my system than a bug. but i do start dbus-daemon -system when i start a gui so it shouldnt be dbus "key word may be shouldnt" | 08:47 |
| ikonia | dangit: under internet | 08:47 |
| Draceee | I installed the skype for windows version first | 08:47 |
| Draceee | so how can i get rid of that? | 08:47 |
| dangit | ikonia, what's it called? | 08:48 |
| ikonia | dangit: what's what called ? | 08:48 |
| ikonia | dangit: of the editor | 08:48 |
| ikonia | dangit: can't find it, still looking | 08:48 |
| Draceee | nvm im goo | 08:48 |

| ValentineX | ikonia: command? | 08:48 |
| soreau | uh oh | 08:48 |
| soreau | Lou_: Well then, you can probably get more detailed information in #radeon for your card with the open driver | 08:48 |
| onetinsoldier | Draceee: you want to get rid of the package you just installed? is that correct? | 08:48 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: use whatever text editor you like to use | 08:48 |
| ValentineX | FloodBot2: hi | 08:48 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: i dont know any | 08:48 |
| dangit | ikonia, ah k | 08:48 |

| ValentineX | ikonia: dont know linux | 08:49 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: use the command sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:49 |

| ikonia | ValentineX: change that to "intel" | 08:53 |
| _2 | terryx sounds like a security setting | 08:53 |
| _2 | terryx does it log out or does it crash ? | 08:54 |
| lenin | hello all.......... I upgraded from Hardy latest version to Ibex . and after an week .. the integrated "shutdown+IM status indicator" button disappeared how to enable that? | 08:54 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: changed how to save this nano editor? | 08:54 |
| terryx | security setting, i have clean installed ubuntu 2-3 times and its just loggout...itsself | 08:54 |
| terryx | not crash | 08:54 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: no idea, it normally says at the bttom is it ctrl+x ? | 08:54 |
| Slart | terryx: I'm guessing your X server crashes and restarts.. looks the same as a logout | 08:54 |
| bioman | Hi ! | 08:55 |
| terryx | before i think problem with my agp card | 08:55 |
| _2 | terryx how can you tell the differance whether it logs out or crashes ? | 08:55 |
| hischild | Which program can auto organize my music according to it's music tags? \ | 08:55 |

| murkem | anybody know how to get realplayer installed on ubuntu? | 08:55 |
| Lou_ | soreau, thanks. I'll be patient. I appreciate your help very much. | 08:55 |

| ValentineX | ikonia: i did exit it asked me to save, i saved :) now next? | 08:56 |
| terryx | i have free space 1.7gb | 08:56 |
| ikonia | ValentineX: restart and you should be good | 08:56 |
| _2 | terryx you can tell the differance in a log out and a crash by reviewing the logs in /var/log/ the Xorg.* logs in particular | 08:56 |
| terryx | enough i think... | 08:56 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: wao no software etc installation like windows? | 08:56 |
| ikonia | ValentineX pardon ? | 08:57 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: can you log in at the console terminal? after it logs you out try Ctrl+Alt+F1. then check some log files. such as /var/log/messages and /var/log/auth, and as _2 says, /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 08:57 |
| terryx | no no its like when u logg of | 08:57 |
| hischild | Slart, not exactly. Say i have a music file from AILD with title Seperation from the album An Ocean Between us. I want the player to physically rename the file to /home/hischild/Music/AILD/An Ocean Between us/01 - Seperation.mp3 (it's the first song of that album) | 08:57 |
| lenin | hello all.......... I upgraded from Hardy latest version to Ibex . and after an week .. the integrated "shutdown+IM status indicator" button disappeared how to enable that? | 08:57 |
| terryx | i have opened xorg.0.log | 08:57 |
| terryx | now..??? | 08:57 |
| _2 | terryx "<terryx> no no its like when u logg of" you mean it gives the option to shutdown restart or logout ? | 08:57 |
| ValentineX | ikonia: i remember windows there to fix problem or to install drivers u need to pass through installations always, in linux just word editing can fix the problem? | 08:58 |

| _2 | terryx should have open session for ... and close session for ... if you have many open but few close then you may have crash rather than logout | 09:04 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: i don't know exactly what you;d be looking for in there. just thought you might see your user being continually denied access or something to that effect | 09:04 |
| Serraphyn | Is it possible to share desktop and displays between 2 computers? like for duel monitor having one mouse and keyboard(without KVM or virtual desktop?) | 09:05 |
| terryx | i don't know..i thing the problem with utorrent | 09:05 |
| nagchampa | when i hit eject on my cd drive, it says unable to mount media | 09:05 |
| nagchampa | of course it can't, i've not put any in yet | 09:05 |
| _2 | Serraphyn yes and there is an infonode | 09:06 |
| _2 | !desktopsharing | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about desktopsharing | 09:06 |
| _2 | pfft i forgot the name | 09:06 |
| terryx | i wodnload & installed wine and then using utorrent its logout 2 times but while i am talking to u guys...i have closed my utorrent its does not happen | 09:06 |
| lolita | e | 09:06 |
| terryx | what u think about that? | 09:06 |
| bioman | please | 09:06 |
| lolita | he | 09:06 |
| lolita | poy | 09:06 |
| ikonia | terryx: I think you have wasted peoples time by not telling the facts | 09:06 |
| commander_ | hi guys | 09:07 |
| ikonia | terryx: you said you logged in and it logged you out | 09:07 |
| terryx | what?? | 09:07 |
| ikonia | terryx: now it turns out you've logging in, running torrent software and after a period of time it's logging you out | 09:07 |
| terryx | no | 09:07 |
| terryx | i was working on my computer(in ubuntu) | 09:07 |
| * _2 still thinks most likely something on terryx's system is crashing | 09:08 | |
| terryx | and keeps utorrent on(on download) then its logout | 09:08 |
| ikonia | terryx: thats not what you said at the start | 09:08 |
| ikonia | terryx: you said it logs you in then back out | 09:08 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 09:08 |
| KST_ | What is better in beetwin windows and ubuntu? | 09:08 |
| terryx | yes | 09:08 |
| terryx | thats what i am saying right now | 09:08 |
| ikonia | terryx: thats different than logging in, working, using torrent software, using wine then it crashes and dumps you back out | 09:08 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: but only when you run utorrent? | 09:08 |
| holycow | KST_: depends entirely on your definition of 'better' | 09:08 |
| _2 | KST_ most everything | 09:08 |
| silv3r_m00n | i just logged in using xfce .... is there any kind of configuration area for xfce ? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | terryx: so I think you have wasted peoples time | 09:08 |
| holycow | try and decide for your self | 09:09 |
| bioman | Who knows how to get monitor modelines ? | 09:09 |
| holycow | you no longer need to set modelines | 09:09 |
| ikonia | bioman: its documented in the xorg documents | 09:09 |
| ikonia | bioman: x.org | 09:09 |
| holycow | xorg has totally changed | 09:09 |
| terryx | no no i mean my ubuntu start i work, watch movie but not for more time its logout | 09:09 |
| terryx | whats that mean | 09:09 |
| tiyowan | Good afternoon, folks. | 09:09 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: you have made it sound like.. you log in, and you are logged right back out, like almost immediately | 09:09 |
| terryx | no no | 09:10 |
| _2 | holycow i think he's getting a "no screens found" or something like | 09:10 |
| ikonia | terryx: I suggest next time you try to ask for help you explain the problem properly as I won't be wasting any more time on this | 09:10 |
| bioman | I need to know HorizSync and VertRefresh in xorg.conf | 09:10 |
| terryx | i have never said that | 09:10 |
| holycow | _2: good point | 09:10 |
| terryx | now see right now i am in ubuntu...if i open utorrent i been logout automaticaslly | 09:10 |
| bioman | running ubuntu livecd there's nothing in xorg.conf | 09:10 |
| terryx | may be its because of utorrent or something else | 09:11 |
| terryx | thats why i am asking u for helping me | 09:11 |
| tiyowan | terryx: Are you using Wine to run utorrent? | 09:11 |
| terryx | yes | 09:11 |
| ardchoille | maybe utorrent is craching xorg? | 09:12 |
| bioman | tiyowan: use deluge | 09:12 |
| jercos | Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an odd problem with an old clie... udev doesn't seem to be hooking the serial device up to a device node... | 09:12 |
| terryx | i have done that before 5-6 days no problem, then the problem occurs suddenly | 09:12 |
| jercos | gpilot and pilot-xfer will happily connect to it via listening on "usb:", but I'm going for a PPP link | 09:12 |
| tiyowan | bioman: Not me. -> terryx | 09:12 |
| bioman | tiyowan: Oops | 09:12 |
| jercos | udev spins off 7 or so device nodes not suitable for communication, /dev/usbdev* stuff... | 09:12 |
| terryx | is there any problem with wine | 09:12 |
| ardchoille | terryx: why are you using wine to run utorrent when there are many native Linux torrent clients? | 09:12 |
| tiyowan | terryx: Um, is there any particular reason why can't use a native torrent client for linux? | 09:12 |
| jercos | ideas? | 09:13 |
| lenin | can anybody tell me how do I turn back on the 'automatic update notification icon' ?? it got disabled after an update failed due to bad internet connection... no broken packages is reported there after | 09:13 |
| terryx | no reason i am just new to ubuntu or linux | 09:13 |
| terryx | i don;t know anything much | 09:13 |
| terryx | right now i am using transmission | 09:13 |
| terryx | u suggest something else | 09:13 |
| _2 | terryx maybe it's a conspiracy, maybe they are hacking into your box via utorrent <.< >.> o.O | 09:13 |
| terryx | tell me good one | 09:13 |
| terryx | ohhhhkkkk | 09:14 |
| terryx | is it possible? | 09:14 |
| onetinsoldier | anyting is possible | 09:14 |
| tiyowan | terryx: There's lots of them. bittornado, deluge, ktorrent, rtorrent, etc. | 09:14 |
| terryx | so first i remove wine from my system? | 09:14 |
| theatrus | terryx, don't need to | 09:14 |
| terryx | which is good n with features? | 09:14 |
| terryx | ok | 09:15 |
| theatrus | terryx, I like both transmission and ktorrent | 09:15 |
| terryx | ktorrent is good | 09:15 |
| hischild | i also like deluge. | 09:15 |
| soreau | ! u | 09:15 |
| ubottu | Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 09:15 |
| tiyowan | terryx: Personally, transmission does the job for me. | 09:15 |
| terryx | i have running this but not good speed | 09:15 |
| terryx | its always goes idle itself | 09:16 |
| _2 | soreau u hit the nail on the head when u said that, u did | 09:16 |
| enigma | hi, I have problem. I have DELL desktop PC, and I just install ubuntu 8.10 without connecting to internet | 09:16 |
| enigma | now <I\m connected | 09:16 |
| enigma | and my question is | 09:17 |
| _2 | !repos > enigma | 09:17 |
| enigma | how to install graphics drivers? | 09:17 |
| ubottu | enigma, please see my private message | 09:17 |
| soreau | _2: Tell ubottu, I didn't say much of anything ;) | 09:17 |
| terryx | so i can reinsert my agp card or not? | 09:17 |
| rozinblue | .. | 09:17 |
| tiyowan | enigma: System -> Admin. -> H/W Drivers. | 09:18 |
| Paingel | !repos | 09:19 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 09:19 |
| jercos | :( so you guys are more for windows->ubuntu migration support than for serious technical questions? | 09:19 |
| enigma | tiyowan: but this list is empty | 09:19 |
| hischild | !ati | enigma | 09:19 |
| ubottu | enigma: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:19 |
| _2 | ok maybe epiphany needs gconf server to be running ??? | 09:19 |
| sdousley|work | Hi All, fairly new to Ubuntu, just setting up a server, which only has SSH access, how can I setup the firewall to allow UDP connections for SNMP (port 161) | 09:19 |
| theatrus | jercos, not really no | 09:19 |
| tiyowan | jercos: We're all volunteers. Everyone contributes what they know to solve the problem. | 09:20 |
| _2 | so how does one start gconf server ? | 09:20 |
| jercos | theatrus: oh. okay. so if I get no responses, basically I should look elsewhere? | 09:20 |
| terryx | tell me | 09:20 |
| theatrus | jercos, however, I don't have any particular tidbits to help you there - is the device supposed to map a serial emulation port? | 09:20 |
| hischild | jercos, you can just ask again a bit later. I've had questions that the hardest of IT techs didn't know at first, took 12 hours to find it out eventually with a dozen people. | 09:21 |
| bioman | if I install from a livecd will I have a "real" xorg.conf ? | 09:21 |
| tiyowan | jercos: What's the problem, by the way? I missed it. | 09:21 |
| hischild | bioman, define real. It'll work, yes. | 09:22 |
| terryx | tell me can i re-insert my agp card? | 09:22 |
| jercos | theatrus: the USB hotsync protocol revolves around essentially using a virtual USB->serial converted | 09:22 |
| jercos | converter* | 09:22 |
| _2 | bioman that is not installation methood specific it is version specific short answer probably not | 09:22 |
| gavi | i have a question related to gpilot.. is #ubuntu a goodplace to ask? | 09:22 |
| bioman | hischild: I mean a normal xorg.conf, not the one you have when you use the livecd | 09:22 |
| terryx | ikonia: tell me can i re-insert my agp card? | 09:22 |
| theatrus | jercos, true, true | 09:23 |
| jercos | my problem is that I want to connect my clie over a USB line to my Ubuntu PC via a PPP link. I think I can handle PPP itself, but when I try to connect/hotsync from the palm no new device nodes that are of any use to me are created | 09:23 |
| lenin | how do I listen to songs in esnips? | 09:23 |
| _2 | bioman that is not installation methood specific it is version specific short answer probably not | 09:23 |
| enigma | tiyowan: I have Intel integraded VGA | 09:23 |
| lenin | in IBEX ? | 09:23 |
| enigma | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 09:23 |
| theatrus | I wonder how gpilot handles it then... it might be using libusb | 09:23 |
| enigma | and I don't know where I could find drivers | 09:23 |
| theatrus | so that might mean there is no internal kernel driver | 09:23 |
| theatrus | well, he didn't wait around for answers :) | 09:24 |
| tiyowan | jercos: Yikes. I've got no experience with that. | 09:24 |
| jercos | tiyowan: me neither, that's why I'm here :P | 09:24 |
| _2 | bioman the latest version of xorg doesn't really use xorg.conf by default it can use one if you want to write it, but defaults to a 'one size fits none' approach | 09:24 |
| jin | whenever I am writing files to disk constantly, firefox becomes very slow :( | 09:25 |
| sexcopter | hi, can anyone tell me how to determine the graphics driver currently in use, on ubuntu 8.10 | 09:25 |
| enigma | theatrus< so what in this case? | 09:25 |
| ziroday | sexcopter: you can see in your xorg log | 09:26 |
| _2 | sexcopter grep driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 09:26 |
| sexcopter | ziroday, _2: thanks | 09:27 |
| KST_ | <b>d</b> | 09:27 |
| gavi | folks, i can sync in ubuntu with my treo 650, but im having trouble installing a language... has anyone done this? or have a bit of expirence with this in order to assist me? | 09:27 |
| theatrus | enigma, for that chip, you're all drivered up | 09:27 |
| parashute | can someone help me with ndiswrapper | 09:27 |
| gavi | Parashute i can try | 09:28 |
| jercos | parashute: I suspect so... Ask away, and we'll try to answer your questions... | 09:28 |
| gavi | did u install ndiswrapper, and or the gui | 09:28 |
| parashute | gavi: im trying to get ath0 interface to be created im using ndiswrapper | 09:28 |
| gavi | parashute, do u have the driver of your wifi card? | 09:29 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: welcome back :-) | 09:29 |
| parashute | gavi: ndiswrapper is the driver , no ? | 09:29 |
| soreau | Lou_: First, check that you have direct rendering working. Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? | 09:29 |
| gavi | parashute, no | 09:29 |
| KST_ | , | 09:29 |
| gavi | you need to download the windows driver for your wifi card | 09:29 |
| gavi | and the inf files are what is needed | 09:29 |
| ziroday | KST_: do you have a problem we can help you with? | 09:29 |
| parashute | gavi: obviously - i've loaded that | 09:29 |
| parashute | gavi: theres no kernel driver though | 09:29 |
| parashute | gavi: its AR5007EG/AR242x | 09:30 |
| gavi | just a sec | 09:30 |
| _2 | anyone know a command to start gconf-server ? | 09:30 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Heh. Thx. I'm afftected by the Mediterranean underseas cable problem. | 09:30 |
| ziroday | _2: its um err, gnome-settings? | 09:30 |
| tiyowan | jercos: Not much help here, but have you checked out http://www.raoult.com/palm/? | 09:30 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: oh. i wasn't aware of the problem. but now you got me thinking about googling it | 09:31 |
| _2 | ziroday hmmm i'll give it a shot | 09:31 |
| enigma | theatrus, what you mean (all drivered up) | 09:31 |
| ziroday | _2: correction: try gnome-settings-daemon | 09:31 |
| enigma | my anglish is not very good | 09:31 |
| KST_ | what is anglish? | 09:31 |
| jercos | tiyowan: indeed I have :) it was one of my first stops... unfortunately, this clie has no serial number, and I have no clue as to how I would emulate that procedure without a serial number for my device... | 09:31 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: You're lucky. I'm getting the worse of it. No limewire/torrents, intermittent disconnects, etc. | 09:31 |
| theatrus | enigma, you don't have to install anything special to get intel integrated cards to work in Ubuntu last I checked | 09:32 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: sorry to hear that :-( | 09:32 |
| ziroday | KST_: do you have a problem we can help you with? | 09:32 |
| KST_ | no thanks | 09:32 |
| gavi | parashute, when u cllick on the black computers near the time, do u see wireless networks | 09:32 |
| tiyowan | jercos: So...if you could get the serial number for your device, that'd at least enable you to try that procedure? | 09:32 |
| enigma | theatrus but the higest resoultion is available is 640... | 09:32 |
| ziroday | KST_: you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 09:32 |
| alex_21 | Hi, I know this is weird, but does anyone know where to get wallpaper that is the texture of fruits? | 09:32 |

| enigma | 640*480 | 09:33 |
| enigma | and it's quite non comfortable | 09:33 |
| jercos | tiyowan: you misunderstand. the device does not send an iSerial with the USB connect message. it does not *have* a serial number. | 09:33 |
| enigma | to work | 09:33 |
| dapper-daniel | hej! does aireplay work with ipw2200 and ubuntu kernel 2.6.27? or do I need any patches for the driver? | 09:33 |
| parashute | gavi: im using CLI | 09:33 |
| _2 | ziroday ok, thanks, and it wasn't gconf-server ;/ | 09:33 |
| gavi | Paraselene_, sounds like ur ahead of me | 09:33 |
| gavi | i installed a wifi with ubuntu on a dlink card | 09:33 |
| ziroday | _2: so gnome-settings-daemon worked? | 09:34 |
| rebel_kid | alex_21, please read the topic for this channel. it may be better to ask in a social channel like #defocus or ##socialites | 09:34 |
| gavi | sorry | 09:34 |
| enigma | so, what I should do to ubuntu look again to drivers? | 09:34 |
| alex_21 | Hi, I know this is weird, but does anyone know where to get wallpaper that is the texture of fruits? Like a wallpaper with a Kiwi texture? | 09:34 |
| alex_21 | Please | 09:34 |
| onetinsoldier | alex_21: or perhaps even some channel like #gimp | 09:34 |
| jercos | tiyowan: as such, I cannot create a udev rule to *create* a device to use with pppd | 09:34 |
| _2 | ziroday it ran, but epiphany still says ** (epiphany:4891): WARNING **: Unable to connect to session bus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus | 09:34 |
| tiyowan | jercos: Ah. My bad. | 09:34 |
| rastar | morning | 09:34 |
| soreau | alex_21: Search on gnome-look.org or kde-look.org | 09:34 |
| alex_21 | I am using it for developement of Ubuntu applications | 09:34 |
| soreau | alex_21: Or just google it :) | 09:35 |
| ziroday | _2: that sounds like a dbus compared to gconf issue, You running LXDE, Openbox or something similar? | 09:35 |
| tiyowan | enigma: Go to System -> Admin. -> H/W Drivers. If it doesn't auto-install drives and everything is fine, then you don't need anymore drivers. | 09:35 |
| tiyowan | er, drivers. | 09:35 |
| ziroday | alex_21: you might even have some luck asking in #ubuntu-artwork | 09:35 |
| _2 | i sussposes i could blank all my logs and then try it | 09:35 |
| _2 | ziroday blackbox yeah | 09:35 |
| _2 | ziroday but dbus and hald are running | 09:36 |
| alex_21 | Well, my problem is that I can't see it, so are the gnome-look pictures labeled nicely | 09:36 |
| alex_21 | ? | 09:36 |
| enigma | tiyowan | 09:36 |
| enigma | list is empty | 09:36 |
| ziroday | _2: ah, I would check the permissions on .dbus or something similar in your homedir and make sure they are extremely permissable | 09:36 |
| enigma | list of drivers | 09:36 |
| tiyowan | enigma: That is normal behavior. | 09:36 |
| enigma | so how to set higher resolution | 09:36 |
| alex_21 | Ok, thanks | 09:36 |

| nagchampa | is there a way to use the eject button next to an optical drive to eject it if it's empty? | 09:45 |
| tood | well when i let ubuntu do every thing while i m setup it it made only one partation called filesystem nothing else | 09:45 |

| KST_ | hi | 09:48 |
| jmk | hi | 09:48 |
| jim_p | tood, that is the main partition in every linux os. other partitions and drives are just mounted in there | 09:48 |
| KST_ | Welcome to #ubuntu | 09:48 |
| tood | i want to make 3 partations not only one partation | 09:48 |
| jmk | what are you doing here? | 09:48 |
| _2 | Kartagis hmmm sorry i'm not familear with "cifs" maybe i shouldn't have jumped in... | 09:48 |
| KST_ | I was waiting for you | 09:48 |
| theatrus | tood, for any particular reason? | 09:48 |
| _2 | !cifs | 09:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cifs | 09:48 |
| jmk | oh really | 09:48 |
| underdog5004_ | is there any way I can make a tar and export it to a remote box without saving it first onto the localhost? | 09:49 |
| _2 | Kartagis porbably "from what i gather" the share is shared as readonly ??? | 09:49 |
| Kartagis | _2, I don't have a problem with cifs, I have problem with /media/KINGSTON which is vfat | 09:49 |
| tood | well no but do i have to work like this i mean is this how linux work with only one partation when i had windows i had 3 partations | 09:49 |
| * _2 looks again. | 09:49 | |
| scapor | Does someone here have an idea how to automate printing a lot of PDF files at once ? I have a directory with a lot of PDF files and they all have to be printed ... | 09:50 |
| theatrus | tood, since you'll need to resize your partitions, you're going to have to launch from the live CD and use the partitioning tool provided | 09:50 |
| jim_p | scapor, make a nautilus script | 09:50 |
| tiyowan | tood: When you install Ubuntu, you have an option to make separate partitions and mount your /home dir on one them. That is, essentially, I think what're you trying to do. | 09:50 |
| theatrus | tood, there isn't much reason to but you're welcome to if you'd like | 09:50 |
| _2 | Kartagis and sudo rm /media/KINGSTON/somethingerother fails ? | 09:50 |
| jim_p | scapor, i dont know how to print from command line though | 09:50 |
| scapor | jim_p: I wouldn't know what command to use to print a PDF as I'm used to use evince for that | 09:51 |
| tood | oh thx guys for ur help i get it now | 09:51 |
| Kartagis | _2, yes | 09:51 |
| _2 | Kartagis sudo touch /media/KINGSTON/boo | 09:51 |
| jim_p | scapor, you gave me an idea! wait there | 09:51 |
| scapor | jim_p: I'm now thinking of finding a tool to make of all pdf's 1 document .. seems like tsomething the pdfjam package could help me | 09:51 |
| _2 | tell me what that says Kartagis | 09:51 |
| tiyowan | tood: And for making additional partitions, use gparted. | 09:52 |
| Kartagis | _2, rm: cannot remove `P1040606-kucuk.jpg': Read-only file system | 09:52 |
| tood | gparted | 09:52 |
| tiyowan | !gparted | 09:52 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 09:52 |
| Kartagis | !gparted | tood | 09:52 |
| ubottu | tood: please see above | 09:52 |
| _2 | tell me what that says Kartagis sudo touch /media/KINGSTON/boo | 09:52 |
| jim_p | scapor, - pdfjoin concatenates multiple PDF documents | 09:52 |
| scapor | damn installing PDFjam needs to dl half a gigabyte :| | 09:52 |
| tood | ok thx guys | 09:53 |
| Stavros | i installed postfix but now i want to remove it, what did ubuntu come with by default to send mail to local users? | 09:53 |
| Kartagis | Read-only file system _2 | 09:53 |
| scapor | jim_p: yupà , that's what I found in thge pdfjam package | 09:53 |
| jim_p | scapor, its its latex dependencies | 09:53 |
| Kartagis | Stavros, ssmtp I think | 09:53 |
| onetinsoldier | scapor: really..? that does seem like a lot | 09:53 |
| scapor | that's like downloading allmost a full CD-rom just for 1 tool | 09:53 |
| Stavros | Kartagis: ah, thanks | 09:53 |
| * onetinsoldier goes to look at depends for pdfjam | 09:53 | |
| scapor | oh no it's only 300 Mb I see now .. but still a lot | 09:53 |
| jim_p | scapor, there is also pdfedit | 09:54 |
| trifecta | HOW DOES I USE BERYL | 09:54 |
| theatrus | trifecta, by turning off your capslock key | 09:54 |
| _2 | Kartagis sudo mount -o remount,rw,dmask=000,fmask=111 /media/KINGSTON && sudo touch /media/KINGSTON/boo | 09:54 |
| jim_p | scapor, do you have openoffice 3? you can import all of them to a single doc and print them from there | 09:54 |
| _2 | Kartagis see what that says | 09:55 |
| theatrus | trifecta, and then enabled desktop effects in the appearence preferences panel | 09:55 |
| scapor | jim_p: nope, I'm on an old PC now running and old Ubuntu version as my main computer is about to be repaired | 09:55 |
| onetinsoldier | scapor: i don't know how big pdfjam is itself, it depends on a few textex packages, textex is a pretty large package | 09:55 |
| scapor | but I'm downloaiding pdfjam right now | 09:55 |
| Kartagis | _2, that succeeded but sudo rm * gave me the error again | 09:56 |
| scapor | this download limit I have is going to be reset soon anyway | 09:56 |
| scapor | just takes some time it seems | 09:56 |
| _2 | Kartagis rm /media/KINGSTON/boo | 09:56 |

| kirkt | hello all. what are my alternatives when it comes to putting GUI as light weight as i can on ubuntu server? i know this is a bad practice but this is a virtual box i'm using to learn on. | 09:58 |
| ButterflyOfFire | Ubuntu 8.10 of course | 09:58 |
| Kartagis | _2, that succeeded | 09:58 |
| _2 | Kartagis ok, so the filesystem is not readonly. so lets have a look at your command that is failing | 09:58 |
| jim_p | scapor, i am out of ideas then | 09:58 |
| Kartagis | sorry for delay | 09:58 |
| onetinsoldier | ButterflyOfFire: please state the problem, thoroughly | 09:58 |
| ButterflyOfFire | ok oneleaf | 09:58 |
| ButterflyOfFire | onetinsoldier | 09:59 |
| onetinsoldier | ButterflyOfFire: preferably all on one singleline | 09:59 |
| _2 | Kartagis not a problem | 09:59 |

| ButterflyOfFire | I have a problem with Nvidia GeForce 6100 on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bits. I tried to install EnvyNG and choose the right driver but nithing works. I tried both 177 and 173 but none works. It seems as if it displays the X on the top of my screen but I cannot see anything. Now i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and work with low resolution 800x600 but the Nvidia Driver is not enabled. | 10:01 |
| _2 | Kartagis try full path insted rm /media/KINGSTON/* | 10:01 |
| _2 | Kartagis also -R is recursive if that's desired. | 10:02 |
| sikun | i am trying to install ubuntu from a flash drive so far i have got the flash drive booting into the alternative install, but it still looks for the cd for the install files... can i set a boot option to tell it to look for the files on the flash drive? | 10:02 |
| Kartagis | _2, in a sec, the USB disk is on another computer | 10:02 |
| Kartagis | _2, -r is recursive afaik ;) | 10:03 |
| _2 | so is -R | 10:03 |
| Kartagis | oh, okay | 10:03 |
| _2 | Bax wait | 10:03 |
| _2 | typo i put 18 not 10 my bad ^ | 10:03 |
| digifor | On Ubuntu 8.10. Have Lotus Domino 8.5 installed. Error "Unable to bind to port: Port=6400 errno=98 "Address already in use" | 10:03 |
| digifor | How can I fix? | 10:03 |
| onetinsoldier | ButterflyOfFire: i can't help much, but start by pasting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file into a pastebin. then state your problem just like you did above(use the up arrow to recall your message), and include the url to the pastebin in your message | 10:04 |
| digifor | I think problem related to MTA | 10:04 |
| ButterflyOfFire | ok onetinsoldier | 10:04 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 10:04 |
| Bax | _2: that a command error or just a copy error? Your command just adds +10 to the numerical file name of each file, right? | 10:04 |
| _2 | Bax yes it add + 10 to the number of the name | 10:05 |
| sikun | exit | 10:06 |
| _2 | Bax any time you see a command like that you can add an echo to see what it would do. i.e. for q in {1..10} ;do echo "mv $q $(($q+10))" ;done | 10:06 |
| onetinsoldier | ButterflyOfFire: also, in case you don't know, you can go here to try and change your resolution... System --> Preferences --> Screen Resolution | 10:06 |
| ButterflyOfFire | @ onetinsoldier, here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/f3a4e5ed5 | 10:07 |
| _2 | and if you put my typo in you will see the error that would have resulted ... a double move on the first 8 files... | 10:08 |
| yao_ziyuan | what is ubuntu's default html editor? | 10:08 |
| theatrus | the default text editor is gedit, though you're free to use what you like | 10:08 |
| _2 | yao_ziyuan vim | 10:08 |
| theatrus | such as vim, emacs, nano, kate, etc etc | 10:08 |
| ButterflyOfFire | yao_ziyuan, you can use Kompozer | 10:08 |
| yao_ziyuan | i need a WYSIWYG html editor | 10:09 |

| Bax | _2: I'm having trouble executing your command both literally and recursively. The files in name are ####.jpg and I want to shift the digit by +10 for multiple files at once. | 10:16 |

| _2 | Bax that's why i asked the first question if the name is only a number | 10:17 |
| jim_p | _Nike_, is your ubuntu in english? then Desktop is the name | 10:18 |
| _Nike_ | ok | 10:18 |

| _2 | Kartagis sounds like path issue. you can wget the files in question from your home dir ? | 10:20 |
| Kartagis | _2, yes I can | 10:21 |
| _2 | Bax for a true replacement of numbers in multichar file names you'll have to get creative. something like tr or sed | 10:21 |
| Kartagis | _2, maybe I have to reboot | 10:21 |

| Jordan_U | pao, If I recall correctly ubuntu moble is just for cell phones and Ubuntu netbook remix is a main menu which happens to be used by eee Ubuntu | 10:26 |
| Jordan_U | pao, So the only one that has and iso is eeeUbuntu :) | 10:26 |
| dns53 | pao i'm running eeeubuntu hardy on my 701, there are better kernels and scripts to modify the default install like get the extra function keys working | 10:26 |
| xeroz | anyone know the script for the drop down menu? | 10:26 |
| Neurologic | So, I'm having dramas...I can't figure out how to install something from a bin file...Can somone help me? | 10:26 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, What are you trying to install? | 10:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: you run a bin file | 10:26 |
| _2 | Neurologic bash filename.bin | 10:26 |
| dns53 | pao netbook remix is a different launcher and a modified set of gnome applets to look like the screenshot | 10:27 |
| pao | dns53: is there a intrepid equivalent for eee ubuntu? | 10:27 |
| Jordan_U | _2, Not executables are scripts, and not all scripts bash scripts, so that won't always work | 10:27 |
| terryx | jordan_u: sorry crashed again...what i do now | 10:28 |
| terryx | ? | 10:28 |
| Draggin | Sounds like you guys are on exactly the topic I want to ask about... | 10:28 |
| Neurologic | onetinsoldier, _2, those wont work, it says "command not found" | 10:28 |
| dns53 | pao i think so | 10:28 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, Do you know what driver you are using? | 10:28 |
| terryx | intel | 10:28 |
| _2 | Jordan_U first part true second part not applicable matters not if a script is a bash script | 10:28 |
| terryx | how do i check | 10:28 |
| pao | dns53: Jordan_U: thanks :-) | 10:29 |
| Draggin | I downloaded and unpacked an application which works fine if I double-click the .sh script in the folder, but if I add it to the menu, it simply doesn't execute - absolutely nothing happens... Any ideas? | 10:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: i never gave a command to try ;-) | 10:29 |
| Jordan_U | _2, Yes it does, if it's a perl or zsh script it will fail | 10:29 |
| Jordan_U | _2, The #! line is not interpreted by bash | 10:29 |
| Neurologic | onetinsoldier, you said you run it, so I tried ./<filename> and just <filename> neither work =P | 10:29 |
| terryx | when i goto hardware drivers its written no drivers use in this system | 10:29 |
| terryx | any idea? | 10:29 |
| _2 | Jordan_U and explain why so it's not applicable. the command would either run or tell him/us what needed to be done. | 10:30 |
| Draggin | Jordan_U - was that last answer directed at me? | 10:30 |
| Finnish | How do I output video (and sound) from my laptop via HDMI? It has ATI radeon HD3450 | 10:30 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: ok, roger that. you have made it executable, correct? try file <file_name> | 10:30 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, What are you trying to install, you probably don't want to use the .bin file but a .deb or synaptic | 10:30 |
| Jordan_U | Draggin, no | 10:30 |
| Neurologic | Jordan_U, doesn't have a .deb or package...Believe me =P I've looked | 10:30 |
| terryx | jordan_u, how do i know my driver's name? | 10:30 |
| Draggin | Jordan_u - okay :) Cause I didn't understand that :D | 10:30 |
| tauren___ | doing a fresh 8.10 install with dual monitor (nvidia geforce 9500gt). both monitors show desktop and mouse goes acroos all of it. But i can't move windows all the way onto the 2nd monitor, it stops partway onto the screen. ideas? | 10:31 |
| _2 | Neurologic did you try bash filename.bin ? | 10:31 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, Make sure that it is executable, chmod +x <filename> or right click and go to properties | 10:31 |
| Draggin | So does anyone else in here ever have problems with executing scripts from the menu? | 10:31 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: try file <file_name> ...what's the response? can you view the file with less <file_name> ? | 10:32 |
| _2 | Draggin script location "can" affect that | 10:32 |
| Jordan_U | _2, No, he would get a cryptic error like "bash: use: command not found" if it were a perl script for instance | 10:32 |
| AdvoWork | I know ubuntu hasnt got the best support for reading UFS formatted HD's but im sure I read it can, anyone know how I can read/write data to a HD in this format? | 10:33 |
| Neurologic | _2, Yep. Jordan_U, It is. onetinsoldier, it's an executable, it says ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, stripped | 10:33 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, Are you running 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu? | 10:33 |
| Neurologic | Jordan_U, 32 | 10:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Neurologic: i don't know why ./<file> isn't working then | 10:33 |
| Hi | ¸ð¶ó°à ¸»Ã» Çغ¸¼¼¿ä~~ | 10:34 |
| terryx | how to install video drivers in ubuntu..can anybody tell me? | 10:34 |
| kaushal | hi | 10:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | !details | 10:34 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 10:34 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, What happens when you ./file.bin it? Does it give any error? | 10:34 |
| _2 | Neurologic set permission to executable and run it like any other executable /path/to/file/filename | 10:34 |
| kaushal | any one here has configured modem on Ubuntu Server 8.04 | 10:34 |
| Draggin | _2 - could you clarify? Where would the script possibly not work? And what can I do to make it work from the menu | 10:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | !modem | 10:34 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto | 10:34 |
| _2 | Draggin in someone elses home dir ? | 10:35 |
| xeroz | anyone with experience making their own themes by editing the gtkrc-2.0 file? | 10:35 |
| Draggin | _2 - okay, the file is inside a folder in my own home directory, and like I said, it works fine either from the command line or by double clicking it... | 10:35 |
| _2 | Draggin or in your home if you don't specify the full path in your /menu/launcher/ | 10:35 |
| Neurologic | Jordan_U, command not found? O_o bash: ./RegnumOnlineInstall_32: Permission denied neuro@synaptic:~/Documents/Games$ sudo ./RegnumOnlineInstall_32 sudo: ./RegnumOnlineInstall_32: command not found | 10:36 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, ls -l RegnumOnlineInstall_32 | 10:36 |
| theatrus | Neurologic, chmod +x RegnumOnlineInstall_32 | 10:36 |
| Kartagis | does sudo apt-get remove d4x* give me dependencies too? | 10:36 |
| Neurologic | _2, Jordan_U ...oh wow. Ok, "Allow running file as an executable" wasn't checked =( | 10:37 |
| Draggin | _2 - just looked it up - definitely has the full path to the script in the launcher | 10:37 |
| Neurologic | I feel like a twat | 10:37 |
| theatrus | Neurologic, yup :) | 10:37 |
| _2 | Draggin wait, i think i see what you are doing. i would suggest not putting scripts dirrectly into the menu but rather putting them some place like ~/bin and making launchers for them in your menu | 10:37 |
| Jordan_U | Draggin, What exactly did you enter as the command to be run in the launcher? | 10:37 |
| Neurologic | Jordan_U, _2, thanks for all your help, sorry about wasting your time, I just missed that. | 10:37 |
| Jordan_U | Neurologic, np :) | 10:38 |
| ceda_wrk | I have a thin client-computer, stripped down that I mounted in my old music tape case. It boots from USB and I've got a 2.5" IDE-drive in a "IDE-to-USB case". I've run "debootstrap hardy" on it, then added linux-image-386 and xubuntu-desktop. | 10:38 |
| Draggin | Jordan_U - this is the exact entry in my launcher: /home/uriel/SFE-Standalone/savage.sh | 10:38 |
| _2 | Neurologic some times all we need is someone to put their fingure on what we already know :) | 10:38 |
| terryx | why my system keeps crashing? | 10:38 |
| ortsvorsteher | !details | terryx | 10:39 |
| ubottu | terryx: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 10:39 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: hello u there? | 10:39 |
| ceda_wrk | my issue is that while booting I get "Waiting for root" after 60 seconds, and after 70 seconds the usb-storage stuff prints [sdb] to the console | 10:39 |
| ceda_wrk | really don't know what to do about that, anyone got a clue? | 10:39 |
| _2 | Draggin err umm i was typing while you were. but if you are using a launcher to reach the script and the script is executable it "should" work... | 10:39 |
| terryx | ok...i have ubuntu.8.10 and my system keeps crashing mostly when i play movies...i have ejected my veido card(nvidia) because of this but no use... | 10:39 |
| Jordan_U | Draggin, Can you pastebin the script, maybe it doesn't run if stdin isn't a terminal or something like that ( if that specifically is the problem then modifying the script or just checking the "run in terminal" box should do it ) | 10:40 |
| ceda_wrk | my /etc/fstab uses vol_id (-u) instead of /dev/sdb3 | 10:40 |
| terryx | and one more thing i have installed ubuntu 2-3 times today but still noi use | 10:40 |
| Draggin | Jordan_U, _2, I will pastebin the script quickly and give you the link | 10:40 |
| ceda_wrk | terryx: reinstalling doesn't normally help (like Windows) | 10:41 |
| amerinese | terminal highlights links. is there any way to alter terminal so that it can also recognize paths and allow me to execute a custom command? i'd like to click on a path and view it in nautilus | 10:41 |
| ceda_wrk | terryx: try using another video player and see if that hangs your compute rtoo | 10:41 |
| ceda_wrk | terryx: players: mplayer, vlc, totem, xine | 10:41 |
| amerinese | (that should be gnome terminal) | 10:42 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: yes | 10:42 |
| terryx | tell me play who can handle subtitle like vlc | 10:42 |
| Draggin | Jordan_U, _2 - here is the script: http://pastebin.com/d47ca5688 | 10:42 |
| dns53 | amerinese yes you can, you edit your .basrc file, you can change a lot of it if you want | 10:42 |
| terryx | my screen goes different like some colors and then hangs... | 10:42 |
| Draggin | Jordan_U, _2 - I think I already see what's wrong though... | 10:43 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: i did driver to "intel" in xorg conf , after reboot it was hard for me to boot with normal graphics | 10:43 |
| Draggin | I should have just read the comments in the script :) | 10:43 |
| _Nike_ | ubuntu don't like me, I can't save one file in "home" permission denied, how can I've permission to make all ? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX what do you mean, hard for you to boot | 10:43 |
| terryx | And if i re-insert my nvidia card..how do i install its drivers..? | 10:43 |
| jercos | _Nike_: could you be more specific? | 10:44 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: i got ubuntu display error, that ... i forgot :-s .... that was to start ubuntu with lower graphics, unable to parsel configuration file etc | 10:44 |
| terryx | ceda_wrk, tell me..? | 10:44 |
| Jordan_U | Draggin, Thought you would, the reason it doesn't work in the launcher is probably that the launcher sets the current working directory to your home directory rather than the directory the script is in | 10:44 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX try changing the driver line to "i810" | 10:44 |
| ceda_wrk | terryx: what codecs are you using? (try aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse) | 10:45 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: oh i was also thinking to do so :D | 10:45 |
| _2 | Draggin well other than the fact that the path should be quoted >>>> LD_LIBRARY_PATH="~/libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ./silverback.bin <<<< and assuming that "libs" is in your home dir make it full path as i posted, the script is fine. | 10:45 |
| ceda_wrk | terryx: "like vlc"? I can use mplayer and vlc with subs without problems | 10:45 |
| terryx | ceda_wrk, i don't understand, tell me steps plz.. | 10:45 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: and identifier to Identifier "Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller" | 10:45 |
| Bax | what's the wildcard character, like *, but for specific characters in a file name, like 00##.jpg where each # is a number? | 10:45 |
| ceda_wrk | terryx: but if you find that mplayer plays the file and vlc doesn't, then the problem is vlc | 10:45 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX identifier does nothing, don't worry about that | 10:45 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: should i change identifier also? | 10:45 |
| === DASPRiD|off is now known as DASPRiD | ||
| Draggin | Jordan_U, yeah - that seems it was exactly it - it's running beautifully off the menu now :) | 10:45 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: ok | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 10:46 |
| terryx | no the file plays but vlc close itself in some minutes.. | 10:46 |
| Draggin | Jordan_U, _2 - thanks for the advice. Next time I'll try to read before asking silly questions :) | 10:46 |
| terryx | i can install mplayer from package manager | 10:46 |
| terryx | ? | 10:46 |
| Jordan_U | Draggin, np :) | 10:46 |
| Draggin | Ciao everyone! | 10:46 |
| ikonia | terryx yes you can | 10:46 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: i am going to reboot thanks | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: run vlc from command line, you will get outputs when it crashes | 10:46 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, Yes | 10:46 |
| ValentineXX | ActionParsnip: welcome | 10:46 |
| ikonia | terryx: open the package manager and search | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: sudo apt-get install mplayer | 10:47 |
| terryx | ceda_wrk, so can i re-insert my graphic card(nvidia fx5500 256mb)? | 10:47 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip, The problem is that I think it's his whole system that crashes | 10:47 |
| ButterflyOfFire | onetinsoldier, problem of my Grpahic Card solved. I installed the driver from the NVIDIA website and modified the resolution in xorg.conf in the SubSection "Display". Compiz Works ! The only problem I have now is the decorations of the applications :p | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: ah so not just vlc | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: you need 2 extra lines in xorg.conf | 10:48 |
| AdvoWork | anyone know how to install gnuparted from the terminal? ive tried sudo aptitude install parted-1.8.8 but it cant find anything | 10:48 |
| ButterflyOfFire | What are these lines ActionParsnip ? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork it's called gparted | 10:48 |
| onetinsoldier | ButterflyOfFire: allright! that's dounds very good, except i don't know what the problem with your windows decorations is. and really, i haven't done anything for you, you solved the problem yourself. | 10:48 |
| apelW | where do I find kppp 4:3.4.2 ? | 10:49 |
| apelW | I need that version | 10:49 |
| Jordan_U | AdvoWork, "sudo apt-get install parted" ? | 10:49 |
| ButterflyOfFire | @ onetinsoldier thanks ^^ | 10:49 |
| ikonia | apelW if it's not in the repo's it's not package for ubuntu yet | 10:49 |
| apelW | parted? | 10:49 |
| tiyowan | Okay, this is interesting. Before installing Storage Device Manager, I could use the fdisk -l and vol_id commands. After installing SDM and configuring two volumes, both fdisk and vol_id return the error: Cannot open /dev/sda. Running Intrepid. | 10:49 |
| apelW | ikonia: it is an old package | 10:49 |
| apelW | I need the old version | 10:49 |
| terryx | got crashed again... | 10:49 |
| terryx | now what i do | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: in screen section Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" | 10:49 |
| terryx | this time i get error message... | 10:50 |
| apelW | are there any archives? | 10:50 |
| terryx | ceda_wrk, i got error message this time | 10:50 |
| Joe90 | Hi, need help with wireless on Hardy | 10:50 |
| ButterflyOfFire | ok ActionParsnip ;) I'll do this right now and pastebin my new xorg.conf ;) | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: http://osdir.com/ml/video.opengl.compiz.general/2007-11/msg00025.html | 10:50 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: shoe people the error message. pastebin it if it's long | 10:50 |
| onetinsoldier | show* | 10:50 |
| Neurologic | Erk! O_O All of a sudden my appearance is broken O_O | 10:51 |
| _2 | tiyowan just a thought on that, check if the owner or group changed for the device | 10:51 |
| neil_d | I have mounted a drive via nfs and an icon is appearing on the Desktop :( how do I stop it. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: that line may just do it, try others from that guys screen section | 10:51 |
| Joe90 | Wireless worked without problem on Gutsy, died after upgrade to Hardy | 10:51 |
| terryx | The greater application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use different one... | 10:51 |
| AdvoWork | Gparted is picking up my external HD fine. Its formatted in UFS and system EFI GPT, any ideas how I can mount it? | 10:51 |
| terryx | thats it | 10:51 |
| balony | What package contains the desktop update manager? | 10:51 |
| apelW | so, where do I find kppp 4:3.4.2 ? | 10:51 |
| Jordan_U | Joe90, What chipset and did you do anything to get it working in Gutsy? | 10:51 |
| jercos | apelW: what do you need it for? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork ubuntu has read only support for ufs, so you should be able to mount it fine | 10:52 |
| Joe90 | Its broadcomm | 10:52 |
| tiyowan | _2: Excellent idea. Hang on. | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | neil_d: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/25/hide-partition-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ | 10:52 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: no, it gave error message now at the time of starting ubuntu "(EE) No device detected" | 10:52 |
| _2 | epiphany wont open gives this reason. ** (epiphany:5012): WARNING **: Unable to connect to session bus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus | 10:52 |
| Jordan_U | !icons | neil_d | 10:52 |
| ubottu | neil_d: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) | 10:52 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX pastebin your xorg.conf | 10:52 |
| tiyowan | neil_d: That's normal behavior. If you want to stop it, then go to gconf.editor. Applications -> Nautilus -> Desktop and uncheck the Visible Volumes option. | 10:52 |
| _2 | anyone have ideas on that ? | 10:53 |
| Joe90 | In Gutsy just enabled windows driver and everything worked | 10:53 |
| terryx | The greater application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use different one...what does it mean | 10:53 |
| mnielson | did you check this out Joe90 http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/11/02/wireless-networking-on-eeepc-701-ubuntu-810-intrepid/ | 10:53 |
| levi_ | hello. hi can i check if java is installed? | 10:53 |
| terryx | its keeps crasing my pc | 10:53 |
| rww | balony: update-manager | 10:53 |
| Joe90 | mnielson: will do | 10:53 |
| sproaty | is it possible for the windows key single press to open up the ubuntu menu? (I've installed the menu bar custom panel app) | 10:53 |
| ikonia | terryx it means the login manager "greater is crashing" | 10:53 |
| levi_ | hello. hi can i check if java is installed? | 10:53 |
| _2 | levi_ dpkg -l | grep -i java | 10:53 |
| terryx | so how to fix this | 10:53 |
| balony | rww: thanks | 10:54 |
| dns53 | levi_ type java --version | 10:54 |
| mnielson | good luck just a guess, wireless is always a pain with linux | 10:54 |
| ikonia | terryx most likley configure your video card | 10:54 |
| ikonia | !nvidia > terryx | 10:54 |
| ubottu | terryx, please see my private message | 10:54 |
| goog | Hey People! Which email client do you use these days? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | goog: there are many, what do you want from your client | 10:54 |
| sproaty | thunderbirds are go! | 10:54 |
| coldstove | mnielson/not at all. It was easy for me to use wireless. | 10:54 |
| rww | evolutions are, umm, evolving! | 10:54 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90709/ | 10:55 |
| tiyowan | _2: Thanks for the tip. "sudo fdisk -l" returns the info. I think SDM took over my drive. :) | 10:55 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 10:55 |
| goog | ikonia: to work. to not write data to disk (i only use imap accounts). | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mnielson: not if ou buy stuff off the hcl.my wifi works out of the box | 10:55 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX looks like that driver doesn't support your card | 10:55 |
| terryx | no not nvidia | 10:55 |
| mnielson | I've had more problems with wireless than just about anything else | 10:55 |
| levi_ | dns53, it says: Unrecognized option: --version Could not create the Java virtual machine. | 10:55 |
| mnielson | alot of wifi does | 10:55 |
| ikonia | terryx: you said it was nvidia gefore 5500 | 10:55 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: :-s | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mnielson: yeah but thats ecause broadcom is rife and they refuse to release open drivers cos they suck | 10:56 |
| ValentineXX | ;'( | 10:56 |
| _2 | tiyowan yes it probably changed the group for the device you can ls -l /dev/sda and add the group to your user account | 10:56 |
| onetinsoldier | ikonia: i think he's been asking if he should put that card back in | 10:56 |
| goog | i dont like email clients that need a configuration. i would like one that just works like "email --serve =... --user ..." and doesnt write anything to disk. | 10:56 |
| onetinsoldier | ikonia: he has said it took that card out and is now using integrated intel chip | 10:56 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX if you "man intel" you'll find the driver options for the intel driver, check and see if there are any that may help you forward | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | goog: then where would your email go when they are prersented to you? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | onetinsoldier: thats up to him then | 10:57 |
| coldstove | wireless network is different story. It's a big headache. | 10:57 |
| onetinsoldier | ikonia: i agree | 10:57 |
| dns53 | levi_ try -version | 10:57 |
| _2 | tiyowan i personally don't like the idea of users being able to access raw devices tho, it's a security hole | 10:57 |
| sproaty | does anyone know why x-chat keeps putting this red line across the room at random intervals | 10:57 |
| goog | ActionParsnip: in memory. | 10:58 |
| terryx | why my xchat window closes everytime..and shows in terminal segamantation fault... | 10:58 |
| tiyowan | _2: Yep. Changed the group to "disk". Thanks, mate. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Whether to keep SDM or not; because the way it is right now, it's quite good that it prevents me from accidentally doing some sort of dmg. | 10:58 |
| rww | sproaty: it's a markerline, and theoretically all messages after it are new. Settings > Preferences > Interface > Text box > "Show marker line" | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | goog: well make a ram disk and make your email client download mails to that | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | goog: just set the emails to not delete off the server | 10:58 |
| Jordan_U | sproaty, It does that when you use another window so that you know the last comment you "saw" ( before you switched to another application and presumably stopped looking ) | 10:58 |
| goog | ActionParsnip: i use imap. nothing is deleted on the server anyway. | 10:58 |
| neil_d | ActionParsnip: tiyowan: thanks, that worked, is it possible to just remove one of many ? | 10:58 |
| sproaty | ah, that's cool, thanks. | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | neil_d: you could create symlinks to the ones you require | 10:59 |
| sproaty | It seems to kick in after not viewing for [x] seconds | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | goog: i think the ramdisk is the solution you need | 10:59 |
| tiyowan | neil_d: I wouldn't know about that. But you could do it with some tweaking. | 10:59 |
| coldstove | ram is very cheap these days | 10:59 |
| AdvoWork | anyone know how I mount a drive of type ufs? is it like mount /dev/sdb1/ ufstype=44bds /mnt/external? | 10:59 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: it's beginning to sound like you are having memory module problems. i recommend you run memtest86+ for a while | 11:00 |
| neil_d | ActionParsnip: tiyowan: not going to that much trouble. it is ok how it is. | 11:00 |
| terryx | onetinsoldier, i have done that | 11:00 |
| onetinsoldier | terryx: ok.. roger | 11:00 |
| mnielson | were there some downgrades for the partition manager on install from ubuntu 7 to 8? | 11:00 |
| ButterflyOfFire | back again :p | 11:01 |
| tiyowan | terryx: You dual-booting Windows? | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 11:01 |
| onetinsoldier | ButterflyOfFire: welcome back :-) | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | neil_d: its not trouble at all, its a single command | 11:01 |
| _2 | ActionParsnip hmmm building on that idea couldn't one mount /dev/ram14 ~/.mail/something via the system thus making all mail exist only in ram ??? like /var/lock | 11:01 |
| mnielson | I remember being able to resize directly from the installer before, not so now? | 11:01 |
| ButterflyOfFire | thanks onetinsoldier | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: i guess so yeah, no mail on hdd then | 11:01 |
| terryx | yes i have dual windows | 11:01 |
| ButterflyOfFire | @ ActionParsnip that didn't solve the problem of decorations | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/installing-ufs-support-175822/ | 11:01 |
| terryx | i goto xorg.0.log then what? | 11:01 |
| rww | mnielson: the "7" and "8" in recent version numbers refer to their year of release. There are two different versions of Ubuntu with each number: 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10. And you should still be able to resize from the installer: i did it the other day =/ | 11:02 |
| tiyowan | terryx: Copy your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and paste it into paste.ubuntu.com. | 11:02 |
| terryx | ok | 11:02 |
| _2 | terryx command sudo apt-get install pastebinit ;pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:03 |
| Terabyte | hey | 11:03 |
| terryx | well..how do i copy..and where to go | 11:03 |
| staaleu | If I configure my disks in BIOS to use AHCI, the ubuntu installer finds them, but windows crashes on boot. If I use IDE (enhanced or compatible) windows works fine, but ubuntu can't find my harddisks. Will a never version of the ubuntu installer be better at finding the disks? | 11:03 |
| Terabyte | i keep getting @http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gawk/gawk_3.1.5.dfsg-4build1_i386.deb@ when i try to install cd burning software ... or any cd burning software using the package manager | 11:03 |

| onetinsoldier | staaleu: i have the same issue | 11:03 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: when you installed Ubuntu, what did you have it set to in your bios? | 11:04 |
| mnielson | rww, hmm gave me hell today I decided to try out ubuntu as a desktop (love the server!) and managed to entirely toast my windows partition | 11:04 |
| Terabyte | a bunch of packages can't be found, this is happening acros all cd burning software | 11:04 |
| magnetron | staaleu→ which version are you using? | 11:04 |
| staaleu | I haven't installed it, but I could find the disks when I set to ahci | 11:04 |

| staaleu | magnetron, pretty recent net install. | 11:04 |
| terryx | got it | 11:04 |
| staaleu | magnetron, but not the latest | 11:05 |

| ButterflyOfFire | ok ActionParsnip (look at my screenshot http://is.gd/cVqW | 11:06 |

| staaleu | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/11/06/usb-xubuntu-810-install-via-the-usb-creator/ <- xubuntu 8.10 should be recent enough then? | 11:06 |

| terryx | /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:06 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: i see. i'm thinking the ubuntu installer, and kernel updates, does not have the driver for IDE HDD's compiled into it, or as modules. i'm just guessing here tho. if i compile my own custom linux kernel, i don't have this issue | 11:06 |
| mnielson | did that help Terabyte? | 11:06 |
| _2 | terryx command sudo apt-get install pastebinit ;pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log # that both installs and pastes the log file it's two commands seperated by ; | 11:06 |
| tiyowan | scientes: sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade. | 11:06 |
| mnielson | it should update the repository cache | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: i'm familiar with the glitch | 11:06 |
| Terabyte | i didn't see you m,essage mnielson | 11:06 |
| scientes | could not find package | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: you can use alt to help move the windows and alt+f4 to close | 11:06 |
| ButterflyOfFire | ok | 11:06 |

| Terabyte | ok | 11:07 |

| mnielson | run into that all the time | 11:07 |
| staaleu | onetinsoldier, did installing with ahci in bios mess up your windows install? Ie. could grub still boot into windows? | 11:07 |
| terryx | its says unable to read from /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:07 |
| Terabyte | well i get a bunch of errors when i do that too mnielson | 11:08 |
| mnielson | what is the error you get now? | 11:08 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: it's not an issue becaue i compiled support for both in my kernel.. both IDE HDD support and AHCI is in my custom kernel | 11:08 |

| Kem0` | hey guys, I`ve purchased the powerful Alfa 500mW wireless card, ubuntu 8.1 automatically installed the drivers, but it has a very slow signal and the LED doest blink, in Vista it works absulotely fine. | 11:08 |
| mnielson | hmm, try this sudo dpkg --configure -a | 11:09 |
| staaleu | onetinsoldier, I am just wondering about how grub handled everything, but I guess you had no problems (since you installed with ahci | 11:09 |
| Kem0` | mnielson, me ?:) | 11:09 |
| mnielson | and then run apt-get update | 11:09 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: no.. installing with AHCI on in my bios does noting to my windows | 11:09 |
| onetinsoldier | nothing* | 11:09 |
| tiyowan | terryx's file seems to be ok. Someone take a look? | 11:10 |
| mnielson | don't know Kem0 | 11:10 |
| Terabyte | mnielson, same again | 11:10 |
| sproaty | Is there any way to make the "open with application" menu list all programs alphabetically? would make it much easier to find | 11:10 |
| Kem0` | mnielson, is there any configuration to let the usb takes "power" from the usb ? | 11:11 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, Do you need those extra options in your xorg.conf? | 11:11 |
| terryx | what options? | 11:11 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: What seems to be the problem? I missed it. | 11:11 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: when booting with grub, it's no problem as along as both IDE and AHCI are in ther kernel, because then grub can read the disk no matter what the setting is in the bios | 11:11 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: does that make sense? | 11:11 |
| staaleu | onetinsoldier, yeah | 11:12 |
| ButterflyOfFire | @ ActionParsnip, I'll try to find the solution :) thank you very much and thanks to onetinsoldier too ;) | 11:12 |
| staaleu | just trying to see if I can find a 64bit version off xubuntu 8.10 | 11:12 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, It looks like you probably have more in your xorg.conf than needed, it may help to let Xorg auto configure things instead ( though this is mostly a guess ) | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ButterflyOfFire: its some option like that | 11:12 |
| Terabyte | tiyowan, i'm trying to install cd burning software, but when i try to install (from supported applications in add/remove) it gives me a bunch of errors 404 not found packages could not be obtained etc) | 11:12 |
| ButterflyOfFire | ok ;) | 11:12 |

| Terabyte | tiyowan, W: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gawk/gawk_3.1.5.dfsg-4build1_i386.deb to be exact is the first one | 11:13 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: Did you try changing to another server? | 11:13 |
| Terabyte | nope, how do i do that | 11:13 |
| sproaty | For some reason, python scripts open in a text editor but I want them to execute on double-click | 11:13 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: System -> Admin. -> Softwae Sources | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | SportChick: chmod +x nameofscript | 11:14 |
| terryx | so...any sugession | 11:14 |
| Jordan_U | terryx, Can you pastebin your xorg.conf and / or try running "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak" and try restarting X ( if you can't get back into X, the gui, after doing this booting into recovery mode and running "mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf" will restore things back how they were | 11:14 |
| Terabyte | tiyowan, there's still a set of things i miss when i change server | 11:16 |
| Terabyte | as in when i actually make the change, and download the changes, there are some files it can't find (not when i click add.remove) | 11:17 |
| tiyowan | Terabyta: Still getting not found errors? | 11:17 |
| Terabyte | yes but this time when i change server | 11:17 |
| onetinsoldier | staaleu: windows won't be messed up at all. grub just writes to the disk's mbr. it doesn't touch windows or anything. however if you use the default kernel, you might not be able to boot windows because grub can't read the disk when you turn change AHCI to IDE. but again, windows itself won't be messed up | 11:17 |

| ikonia | Terabyte keep with fesity then | 11:19 |
| _2 | Terabyte you need the "oldreleases" repo for that | 11:19 |
| ikonia | onetinsoldier no I've not been following, what's up? | 11:19 |
| Terabyte | how do i get that | 11:19 |
| Terabyte | _2.. | 11:19 |

| onetinsoldier | ikonia: staaleu> If I configure my disks in BIOS to use AHCI, the ubuntu installer finds them, but windows crashes on boot. If I use IDE (enhanced or compatible) windows works fine, but ubuntu can't find my harddisks. Will a never version of the ubuntu installer be better at finding the disks? | 11:20 |
| mnielson | old respositories should still work though right? | 11:20 |
| Terabyte | mnielson, i have no idea, | 11:20 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: I think what _2 means is that you have to add the oldreleases repo to your sources.list and take it from there. | 11:20 |
| Terabyte | how do i do that | 11:20 |
| ikonia | onetinsoldier what controller is it ? | 11:20 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: No clue. But I'll google it for you. | 11:21 |
| _2 | tiyowan yes they move the packages to oldreleases.ubuntu.com i think that's the spelling anyway | 11:21 |
| onetinsoldier | ikonia: my sata controller? | 11:21 |
| Terabyte | so if i change the server to oldreleases.ubuntu.com | 11:21 |
| ikonia | onetinsoldier the one thats being a problem | 11:21 |
| trifecta | How does I use the internet? | 11:22 |
| sproaty | trifecta: Good question | 11:22 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: Well the stuff is at old-releases.ubuntu.com. Wait one. | 11:22 |
| Terabyte | ok | 11:23 |
| _2 | Terabyte i'm not sure of the url but it's something like deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com fiesty main restricted universe multiverse | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | trifecta: you use a web browser to send http requests to a server via a URL | 11:23 |
| _2 | Terabyte in your /etc/apt/sources.list you can edit by hand. | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | trifecta: this is transported via the tcp protocol to port 80 on the server | 11:23 |
| Terabyte | lol ok | 11:23 |

| sproaty | any fix to that amarok "cleaning HTTP cache" annoying pop-up-and-then disappear window? | 11:25 |
| onetinsoldier | ikonia: i'm sorry, i'm not sure i understand the question. my sata drives are listed as being controlled by intel ICH10R | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | SportChick: the question was how do i browse the web,I simply explained the mechanics | 11:25 |
| tiyowan | Terabyte: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-950590.html <- This post might help in adding the repo. I can't seem to find the exact path. But if you're not comfortable with editing config. files on your system, then get a friend to do it for you. :) | 11:25 |

| ButterflyOfFire | @ ActionParsnip thanks => the final result http://is.gd/cVxr | 11:27 |
| trifecta | the other one was : HOW DOES I USE BERYL | 11:27 |

| Kartagis | how can I set mplayer subtitle charset to utf-8? does anyone know? | 11:57 |
| FearMoth | I just installed Ubuntu Server 8.10. Port forwarding is set up correctly on my router, but I can't connect to my computer at that port over the internet. I've installed moblock but even with moblock disabled, nothing can see my forwarded port. Is there anything else that could be blocking connections to that porT? | 11:58 |

| Prime | Is there any good guide on dual booting vista and ubuntu? | 11:58 |
| Prime | Help please | 11:58 |
| tiyowan | !vista | 11:58 |
| ubottu | vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | FearMoth: can you connect to the server from within youor own lan from a different pc? | 11:58 |
| Mayank | i mean if i add 2 download i want the second auto start...u understand? | 11:58 |
| tiyowan | My bad. | 11:58 |
| FearMoth | ActionParsnip: yes | 11:58 |
| Prime | I give up | 11:58 |
| FearMoth | ActionParsnip: and I can connect to opened ports on my windows PC over the internet too, just not to my linux box | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | FearMoth: then either your port forwarding is bad, you have some firewall rule to drop traffic outside your lan or you are connecting to the wrong IP externally | 11:59 |
| JC_Denton_ | # dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic (--configure): # subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10 | 11:59 |
| FearMoth | ActionParsnip: where can I view/modify firewall rules? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | FearMoth: man iptables will show you how to output all rules, if you havent set any up then you dont have to worry about it | 12:00 |
| _2 | !ufw | 12:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 12:00 |

| Kartagis | ActionParsnip, heading there, thank you | 12:02 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: There's a lot of 'net traffic about that controller chip. I don't think flashing the BIOS is going to fix it. The controller manufacturer isn't going to do anything about it as well probably. I think you'll have to wait for kernel support on this one. Interesting chip this one. | 12:03 |
| abraxxa | levidos: tail -f /var/log/* -n 0 | 12:03 |

| levidos | thanks abraxxa | 12:04 |
| abraxxa | jesus_: if you have 64bit ubuntu download the flash 10 alpha from adobe and just copy the .so file into the firefox plugins dir which having firefox closed and uninstall all other flash plugins before | 12:04 |

| floyd | hello, any one have an idea to get autodesk maya 8.5 workiing on inntreppid ibex? | 12:27 |
| wiijii | I was just wondering if echo-replies actually count as invalid | 12:27 |
| abraxxa | wiijii: what do you mean with 'invalid'? | 12:27 |
| wiijii | If I send a tcp SYN/ACK without the first SYN being sent, it gets correctly flagged as invalid | 12:28 |
| wiijii | abraxxa I mean invalid as in iptables state matching to invalid | 12:28 |
| abraxxa | wiijii: packets that have no connection matching, ic | 12:28 |
| FearMoth | abraxxa: when I test other ports from utorrent.com/testport.php?port=xxxx they show up as open, just not ports that i've recently opened it seems, although they are allowed through by my router. do I need to configure this manually or something? | 12:28 |

| FearMoth | abraxxa: I don't use upnp. the port forwarding on my router seems to work fine, I test other ports and they show up as ok. but I just added a couple new rules to test it, and they get through to my linux box but the port checker still says that it's closed | 12:31 |

| jim_p | archman, its a general bug of gnome. use glipper (gnome clipboard app) to avoid that situation or... go to kde L( | 12:51 |
| === sarah is now known as Guest80833 | ||
| jim_p | :( | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | glipper is handy in other ways also. | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | archman: you need an app like klipper to manage that | 12:51 |
| bullgard4 | man gnome-volume-manager: "gnome-volume-manager = GNOME daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices." Is 'the GNOME automounter' identical with gnome-volume-manager? See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-volume-manager/+bug/147150 | 12:52 |
| erUSUL | archman: that's the way the Xwindow paste operates... each app is responsible of its "copies" if you close the app you loose the "copies" | 12:52 |
| jim_p | bullgard4, i dont think so. the one may be a part of the other | 12:52 |
| jim_p | erUSUL, then why kde keeps them? | 12:52 |
| saleem | Hi guys | 12:52 |
| saleem | Which better for using kde or gnome in ur opinion | 12:53 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: hm. I'd like to know it more precisely. | 12:53 |
| saleem | ? | 12:53 |
| Pici | bullgard4: Try asking in #ubuntu-bugs if you're trying to figure out where to file that bug. | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | saleem, deoends on what you like.. try both.. use what you want. | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | saleem, i mixx and match kde and gnome apps.. so i always install both | 12:53 |
| saleem | Aha | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | saleem: i prefer kde but with fluxbox | 12:54 |
| erUSUL | jim_p: it uses a clippboard manager by default like (g|k)lipper. gnome does not use one neither do other Desktop Envoirments and/or window managers | 12:54 |
| Pici | !best | saleem | 12:54 |
| ubottu | saleem: 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. | 12:54 |
| jim_p | saleem, i prefer gnome for its simplicity but i do think that kde apps are light years ahead of their gnome "opponents" | 12:54 |
| saleem | aha i already installed the both | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | saleem: or just pure fluxbox | 12:54 |
| saleem | but i dont know which better for usin | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | saleem: there is no "best" its only better for you, use which you prefer | 12:54 |
| saleem | ok | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | saleem, 'better' for what.. :) Tey both are useable. | 12:54 |
| saleem | ty | 12:54 |
| jim_p | erUSUL, so... kde already has the thing that is supposed to exist in every de! | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | saleem: run each for a month or so, see which you like | 12:55 |

| lucax | i want more screensaver for my screen besides ubuntus repos ones! where can i find more?? :) | 12:56 |

| dr_willis | lucax, check the package manager tools for extras.. for starteres | 12:56 |

| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: so the issue now is there's a video file or 2 in themix that i need to recover.. i'm making an image of the disk with ddrescue for now, how do i then go about scanning the disk for other stuff | 13:25 |
| A4Tech | and google anything on this particular error does not | 13:26 |
| _empty | adaptr: any suggestions how to stop it from starting gdm or what its called.. | 13:26 |
| A4Tech | =(( | 13:26 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: ok,, so i've copied the 8 gb of raw disk image into an img file... i'm not sure how to get lost files out of that image. | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: try foremost | 13:26 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: foremost,, ok, awsome.. i'll give it a bash :) | 13:26 |
| adaptr | _empty: hit ctrl-alt-F1 to reach a console, log in, and run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; sudo killall Xorg | 13:26 |
| prahal_ | A4Tech, it looks like your bluetoot device is not detected | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mkdir ~/recover; sudo foremost -t <type to recover> -i <image file> -o ~/recovery | 13:27 |

| Armored_Azrael | abraxxa: Sorry, my bad--looks like ubuntu just didn't unmute my speakers, and the mute/unmute was controlling the PA mute/unmute. Fixed | 13:29 |
| prahal_ | hum lsusb does not tell if it is "detected" in the mean that a module knows it | 13:29 |

| uberspaced | adaptr thanks. | 13:43 |
| uberspaced | looking into it. | 13:44 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: yes | 13:44 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | before ubuntu 8.** I didnt have totem movie player using over 50% of my cpu but with both 8.04 and 8.10 it did... anyone know why? | 13:44 |
| delaneys | is it possible an update messed up my network manager | 13:44 |
| ushimitsudoki | Rizr: In general options, you can set the outputs. By default, it will try to force maximizing to only one monitor | 13:45 |
| jim_p | delaneys, what network manager do you use (which version)? | 13:45 |
| uberspaced | adaptr does it come installed with some sensible defaults? | 13:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | Rizr: so you can set it there, or maybe disable Compiz if you want to test it | 13:45 |
| levidos | c:\windows\explorer.exe is missing. help please. | 13:45 |
| uberspaced | err, well, it started the daemon already, i guess it's ready to go... | 13:45 |

| Gnea | levidos: /join #windows | 13:45 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: what's the option in general options? | 13:46 |
| prahal_ | A4Tech, hum weird it has capability bluetooth_hci :-/ | 13:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | RizR: i think it is Display Settings > Outputs. | 13:46 |
| onetinsoldier | hi all | 13:47 |
| A4Tech | prahal_: What other programs have to go to my phone? for bluetooth | 13:47 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: outputs got 640x480+0+0 which is probably position and size? | 13:47 |
| ranjithk | Hi guys | 13:47 |
| RickX | does anyone know of a plugin for rhythmbox that will allow it to export the playlist so it can be printed on a cd cover? | 13:48 |
| ranjithk | i need a professional look to my ubuntu 8.10 .. Like Mac.. But i don't want the exact MAC theme.. any suggestion? | 13:48 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: what should be the value? My full desktop resolution is 2560x1024 | 13:48 |
| RickX | Amrok hsa such a script in which it exports to inkscape | 13:48 |
| prahal_ | A4Tech, bluez is the middle layer . blueman is not at fault only bluez does not report the adapter correclty | 13:48 |
| ushimitsudoki | RizR: right if you uncheck detect outputs it will probably mazimize across both monitors. I just tried it and it worked for me. I did not have to enter the full resolution. Try both, though if one doesn't work | 13:48 |
| dimebar | ranjithk: clearlooks or gilouche | 13:48 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: needs X restart? | 13:49 |
| A4Tech | prahal_: What should I do? | 13:49 |
| ushimitsudoki | Rizr: i didn't need one | 13:49 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: unchecking detect outputs didn't work for me. | 13:49 |
| ranjithk | any other suggestion guys? | 13:49 |
| ushimitsudoki | Rizr: Then try entering the 2560x1025 manually in the outputs section as well | 13:50 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: i take that one back. works. | 13:50 |
| ranjithk | Thanks dimebar, gilouche looks cool.. | 13:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | RizR: Hooray! | 13:50 |
| abeck | good morning all | 13:50 |
| prahal_ | A4Tech, I would try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez-utils/+bug/284982/comments/33 ie adding those repository if not already done and upgrade | 13:51 |
| prahal_ | it seems the blueman repo has more up to date bluez too | 13:51 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: cheers :-) one more thing. ideally a separate combination to maximize window across monitors and default action to do it on one. What do you reckon about that? | 13:51 |
| nathan7 | Hi, I'm looking for a way to get a scanner without Linux drivers working. I have the Windows driver disk, but I can't use that normally. Is it possible to run it with something Wine-ish? | 13:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | RizR: to my knowledge compiz doesn't support that. You can set per-window sizing, but it's not quite the same thing. I tried to get that "maximize" and "REALLY maximize" working once and couldn't find a good solution | 13:52 |
| beto | erwer | 13:53 |
| uberspaced | adaptr read the doc for denyhosts; fail2ban was mentioned in there | 13:53 |
| beto | e ai galera | 13:53 |
| RizR | ushimitsudoki: gonna try using outputs options. may be get somewhere. cheers for this :-) | 13:54 |
| A4Tech | prahal_: I have all the packages for bluetooth installed from the repository | 13:54 |
| ramon | what program should i install to be able to see the shared files in my network? | 13:54 |
| uberspaced | fail2ban will eventually remove the rule blocking the host; I installed that. Do you see a reason why one should be used instead of the otehr? | 13:54 |

| enigma_ | I switch to CRT to see login form | 14:13 |
| gmathews | terminal is all you need - that is what my sensei told me. | 14:13 |
| alphawolf83 | harlemdavvey, what do you mean with create a new panel? | 14:13 |
| harlemdavvey | yea, it's all i need but i don't know how to use it xxD | 14:13 |
| Gnea | enigma_: okay - if you press ctrl-alt-F1, it should take you to a console - then use ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the GUI | 14:13 |
| shahrooz | hwilde: well ? what're you think ? | 14:13 |

| gmathews | i have it enabled - but nothing is happening | 14:17 |
| shahrooz | onetinsoldier: that's it ? | 14:17 |
| hwilde | Gnea, enigma_, see it is repeatedly trying to find your hsync and vrefresh? line 687-688 keeps repeating. you need to specify those in the config file | 14:17 |
| shahrooz | onetinsoldier: first . and second .. | 14:18 |
| prahal_ | Magilla, looks liek gconfaudiosink is set to pulseaudio and pulseaudio has died | 14:18 |
| Magilla | ah | 14:18 |
| Magilla | how do I fix it? | 14:18 |
| onetinsoldier | shahrooz: ok.. the 'ls'(not 'la', lol) looks ok. yes, it's fine | 14:18 |
| enigma_ | hwilde I'm not very good in using ubuntu, but probably I set it in xorg.conf? | 14:19 |
| prahal_ | Magilla, either switch to alsa in preferences> sound , or restart pulseaudio ($ pulseaudio) by hand when it crashes | 14:19 |
| enigma_ | could you look at it | 14:19 |

| enigma_ | so maybe my xorg.conf isn't good at 100% | 14:20 |
| onetinsoldier | shahrooz: no..it's fine.. i got the same thing from the output of the 'ls' command. sorry if i'm being confusing, i've been up too long | 14:21 |
| Gnea | enigma_: okay, your xorg.conf is trying to force a specific display down your monitor's throat. your monitor is saying: "uh, no." | 14:21 |

| ope_ | any ideas? | 14:21 |
| gmathews | lol Gnea nice use of metaphors there. | 14:22 |
| enigma_ | Gnea, why? | 14:22 |
| Kurowsaki | hello | 14:22 |
| Gnea | enigma_: because different monitors have different frequency ranges, and this is especially true between CRT and LCD displays | 14:22 |
| Magilla | I'm getting this error when I choose OSS: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Device is being used by another application | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | enigma_ You need to set the right v/h values for your monitor not random ones. You can also try removing the two lines and seeing if it will find them on its own | 14:22 |
| Kurowsaki | hey how do i change my graphics back to when i move my screen it wobble like jello | 14:22 |
| prahal_ | enigma_, the fact that it works when you switch back from CRT ... probably means that this line does more harm than good (if I understood well you still have out of range issue with it (wasn't the issue with the crt beforehand ? | 14:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | enigma_ set the wrong value on a old crt and it can go poof.. literally | 14:23 |
| hwilde | shahrooz, that is an odd message. can you run it again and see if it works the second time please | 14:23 |

| Gnea | enigma: did you try resetting your xorg.conf? | 14:42 |
| ^Migs^ | it starts when I log in. I want it to start when I boot. | 14:42 |
| hwilde | Jack_Sparrow, his sources.list seems legit. maybe iran is having repo trouble. I don't understand the invalid http reply header | 14:42 |

| Gnea | enigma: good. can you get to ctrl-alt-f1 with the LG LCD? | 14:42 |
| ^Migs^ | perfect! Thanks! | 14:42 |

| tiyowan | hwilde: The Middle East is currently experiencing 'net disruptions as well because of the undersea cable cut. | 14:44 |
| hwilde | shahrooz, first to make the backup sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup | 14:44 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: which cut? | 14:45 |
| hwilde | ohhh right that cable in the ocean. maybe that is trouble. | 14:45 |
| hwilde | Gnea, : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7795320.stm | 14:45 |

| hwilde | shahrooz, delete everything in there and hten copy and paste mine from the pastein http://paste.ubuntu.com/90840/ | 14:45 |
| Timbo | i'm stuck at a resolution way lower than the monitor can handle | 14:46 |
| hwilde | Timbo, buy a newer monitor ;) | 14:46 |
| shahrooz | hwilde: done | 14:46 |
| hwilde | shahrooz, ok save the file and | 14:46 |
| Timbo | actually i think it's probably more likely to be a driver problem | 14:46 |
| hwilde | shahrooz, pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" please | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Timbo manually add the info to your xorg.conf | 14:46 |
| Timbo | Jack_Sparrow: bah, as i feared :( | 14:47 |
| shahrooz | hwilde: ok | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Timbo not that bad.. | 14:47 |
| hwilde | Timbo, it's not hard, do you know what resolution you want | 14:47 |
| Timbo | yeah 1280x1024 | 14:47 |
| Timbo | it's just a bit crap to have to still do that, in 2008 :| | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Timbo the hardest part is finding your real v/h refresh rates | 14:47 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: The BBC link's got the info. Everything's snafu'ed for a while. | 14:47 |
| prahal_ | Magilla, killing the process would not help as it is a session process (ie restarted automatically). Yes I have just seen a ubuntu fr doc that was telling one had to be in pulse and pulse-access (also pulse-rt) . Though I am not and it is working (but I am running jaunty something may have changed) | 14:48 |
| hwilde | Timbo, well what year is your monitor from if it doesn't send EDID ? ubuntu will recognize almost any new monitor | 14:48 |
| Timbo | couple of years old at the most | 14:48 |
| hwilde | riiight | 14:48 |
| Timbo | DGM L-1731 | 14:48 |
| Magilla | prahal_: the audio works for days, but after 3-7 days uptime, it stops working | 14:48 |
| onetinsoldier | Timbo, do you currently have an empty xorg.conf file. i don't mean totally empty, but no values in there for the sections? | 14:49 |
| Magilla | prahal_: seems more like a cumulative thing, like a memory leak, than a permissions issue | 14:49 |
| Timbo | onetinsoldier: yup, i've dpkg-reconfigured it | 14:49 |
| aboSamoor1 | how can I load sans font in my tty ? | 14:49 |
| prahal_ | Magilla, ok so this trick is definitely not a requirement . Killing the process restart it . Does it also fix the permission error ? | 14:49 |
| Timbo | using the nvidia (as opposed to nv) driver btw | 14:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Timbo: and still empty after doing that? | 14:49 |
| Timbo | yes | 14:50 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: that's interesting. according to this: http://tinyurl.com/8gr733 the quake happened 5 days ago, yet it's only been out for less than 24 hours? | 14:50 |
| Magilla | prahal_: I can't kill the process | 14:50 |
| Magilla | prahal_: it won't let me | 14:50 |
| tiyowan | Timbo: http://www.epsilonpc.co.uk/productinformation?code=L-1731 may have details on your refresh rates. | 14:50 |
| prahal_ | Magilla, pkill pulseaudio gives you a permission error ? | 14:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Timbo: i have instructions you can try if you like.. no guarantee it will fill out your file, but it usually works | 14:51 |
| Magilla | prahal_: I'll try that way. I was using pulseaudio --kill | 14:51 |
| Timbo | http://pastebin.ca/1291496 | 14:51 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: Interesting, indeed. Depends really. Some places are getting service, some not, some for only some part of the day, etc. | 14:51 |
| Timbo | tiyowan: thanks | 14:51 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: true, and it could have been an aftershock | 14:51 |
| prahal_ | then in your ubuntu version it may be run as a daemon . sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart if this file exists? | 14:51 |

| Magilla | prahal_: that's much easier than rebooting | 14:58 |
| prahal_ | Magilla, yup it works because you have autodetect and it use alsa if pulseaudio is killed. You could restart pulseaudio to see if pulseaudio behing restarted fixes the permission issue . Else just kill pulseaudio when it becomes crzy and you ll have sound | 14:58 |

| prahal_ | Magilla, then you may want to edit /etc/default/pulseaudio PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START and set it to 0 (the value I had by default but your version seems to have a different one ... probably an upgrade issue | 15:04 |
| hwilde | shahrooz, ok so after your internet settles down, you will want to restore the backup file you made, first save mine sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.US sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.backup /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:04 |

| Gnea | hwilde: heh, my cd drive on my laptop went over a year ago, the only way i can reinstall is via netboot - and ubuntu does that very well :) | 15:09 |
| Magilla | Kurowsaki: no, there is no spyware | 15:09 |
| Gnea | Torgoton: probably. | 15:09 |
| prahal_ | hum weird . beyond my understanding as to why /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start a second version of pulse then :-/ if you don't have the autostart the setup is really different from jaunty and I will not attempt any tweaks in fear I might make it worst than it is already . Hope the issue get resolve any time soon | 15:09 |

| bobbob1016 | Slart, I've been google-ing, and reading the man pages, I can't seem to get that working. I did "ln -s TARGET" as the manpage has for the second form, to link TARGET to the current directory, and it isn't working. | 15:44 |

| refefer | joshua__: do you have a question? | 15:44 |
| hwilde | bobbob1016, the command is ln -s EXISTINGFILE SYMLINK | 15:44 |

| matthias_ | hwilde: yes i have my wpa at home working but no connecting to an linksys ap i do not let me in but on an windows pc it can | 15:46 |
| hwilde | bobbob1016, try a simple example like this: ln -s /tmp linktotemp | 15:46 |
| Faust-C | Jack_Sparrow: yeah did that and the new icon themes dont work but ones that came w/ ubuntu do | 15:46 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, geforce4 ti 4200 | 15:46 |
| Faust-C | i installed these via apt as well, kinda odd | 15:47 |
| hwilde | bobbob1016, that will make a symbolic link called "linktotemp" then if you type cd linktotemp it will put you in /tmp directory | 15:47 |
| Slart | bobbob1016: you're welcome | 15:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Faust-C then the theme/icons selected/added are not compatibler | 15:47 |
| hwilde | matthias_, click up in the network manager, do you have wpa options | 15:47 |
| bobbob1016 | hwilde, I meant that it worked now, I must've had some syntax error before, thanks again to you and Slart. | 15:47 |

| kiwi_ | Jack_Sparrow, hwilde just to make sure. i installed eeebuntu a few days ago and used synaptic and aptitude as well. so you recommend to use only one of these? in that case i prefer aptitude. | 15:54 |

| dethstar | korcan, man visudo | 15:56 |
| hwilde | alexmax, yeah those are tricky when you have to accept and hit ok or whatever | 15:56 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: what is the name of the header file it says you are missing? | 15:56 |

| thebloggu | tiyowan, btw, do you think 8.04.1 LTS may have better support ? since i had some problems with the kernel too in 8.10 | 16:12 |
| Koordin | hi, i have an annoying problem, every 5 minutes i have to write 'sudo dhclient' in order to reconnect | 16:12 |
| hwilde | kiwi_, aptitude and synaptic are basically the same thing tho. | 16:12 |
| kiwi_ | onetinsoldier,synaptic doesnt look too bad. what do you think. aptitude or synaptic? :-) | 16:12 |
| Koordin | (on windows i have no problem keeping a connection longer) | 16:12 |
| jonjoe | hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer | 16:12 |
| onetinsoldier | apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, dpkg, add/remove programs... lol | 16:12 |
| bakermd | Anyone have experience installing Ubuntu on a CF card? I have an IDE to CF card adapter, and a 4GB CF Card. Install shows all kinds of errors... not sure what to tell from it | 16:12 |
| mogra | if my vote counts, I vote aptitude | 16:13 |
| hwilde | kiwi_, synaptic is whate veryone else uses | 16:13 |
| hspaans | kiwi_: what is wrong with dselect? | 16:13 |
| jonjoe | hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer | 16:13 |
| bakermd | DRDY ERR / ICRC ABRT | 16:13 |
| hwilde | bakermd, what kind of cf card is it | 16:13 |
| bakermd | SanDisk Extreme III | 16:13 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: I think so, I've checked the ubuntu site, and the 8.10 *definitely* supports your card. What I want us to do is to get rid of that envy stuff, install the proprietary drivers from nvidia, then try to modify xorg.conf if need be. | 16:13 |
| mogra | hwilde: if we all used what everyone was using, we'd be using Windows, now wouldn't we? :D | 16:13 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: well, this one isn't ubuntu, but the author gives a process that should work in ubuntu: http://james.jamesandkristin.net/install-gentoo-linux-on-a-dell-inspiron-e1705 | 16:13 |
| bakermd | 200x card - 30 MB/sec | 16:13 |
| bakermd | 4GB | 16:13 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok | 16:14 |
| jonjoe | hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer | 16:14 |
| kiwi_ | hwilde, ok, i go with that one. finally. point. | 16:14 |
| bakermd | I have it set to 5V mode | 16:14 |
| onetinsoldier | kiwi_: aptitude. it has a btter tracking system, and smarter dependency solving, supposedly. it tracks whether a package was auto-installed to solve a dependency | 16:14 |
| onetinsoldier | better* | 16:14 |
| kiwi_ | onetinsoldier, hmmmm, in that case ... | 16:14 |
| axisys | what is the right way to change my hostname. i want it to stick followed by reboot as well | 16:14 |
| FrozenPY | Hello, i cant boot the installation of Ubuntu, i've tried downloading 8.04 and 8.10, the BIOS is configured to boot from the CD/Room, when it tries to boot it says (Press ESC to boot from CD), press ESC and nothing happends, i see the XP windows.. i tried booting from USB, but i get the same error, and i changed the CD/Room and the same, any help? | 16:14 |
| jonjoe | hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !install > jonjoe | 16:15 |
| mogra | aptitude also _is_ the package manager, rather than just being a front-end | 16:15 |
| ubottu | jonjoe, please see my private message | 16:15 |
| axisys | just change is /etc/hosts file and reboot? | 16:15 |
| hspaans | jonjoe: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en <-- this can also work for ubuntu | 16:15 |
| Koordin | hi, i have an annoying problem, every minute i have to write 'sudo dhclient' in order to reconnect | 16:15 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, done, restarted x and now seems using vesa (or at least not using the envy one :P ) | 16:15 |
| bakermd | Koordin: You could cron it... | 16:15 |
| ryan___ | quit | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tiyowan Are you trying to install on a dell laptop | 16:16 |
| Koordin | bakermd: or i could try and fix the problem | 16:16 |
| nightrid3r | FrozenPY check the cd in windowsxp if it has only one file on it you made an error burning it. you should burn it as an image to work | 16:16 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Okay, go to H/W drivers again. Remember we want the prop. drivers. | 16:16 |
| hwilde | onetinsoldier, I like the batter tracking system. it leads me to a lot of cookies | 16:16 |
| bakermd | Koordin: Sorry, was being sarcastic. Are there entries in /var/log/messages when the problem occurs? | 16:16 |
| Koordin | bakermd: :) | 16:16 |
| Milos_SD | I can't install lexmark z2320 driver on AMD machine... here is the error: Lua error detected: While parsing install.lua: config/run.lua:1047: attempt to concatenate local 'cpu_speed' (a nil value) .... is there a way to fix this? | 16:17 |
| tiyowan | Jack_Sparrow: Well, I've got intrepid on an inspiron 9400; x1400 mobility radeon. The only issue I had left is flickering video. When I switch to metacity, it works. | 16:17 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok, straange, a lot.. before envy if i went to restricted drivers nothing appeared. now after uninstalling and deactivating it does appear and i may activate it.. | 16:17 |
| onetinsoldier | hwilde: hehe, i gave my baby a cookie, he said, tanks for ebby ting | 16:17 |
| stareux | \me dsq | 16:17 |
| stareux | \ qsd | 16:17 |
| FrozenPY | nightrid3r: i know, its good. when i start window i can even see the Autorun MSG from the cd | 16:17 |
| * stareux qsd | 16:17 | |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, should i, or restart ? | 16:17 |
| ikonia | stareux please stop | 16:17 |
| d33p61u3 | hi ppl. I need some help. my sound stopped working on my laptop when i turned it on this morning. Was working hundred percent. I know it's not the hardware (sound works from a live cd) but i have no idea where to look for a solution. I only get a little static noise from my speakers when something is suppose to be playing | 16:18 |
| nightrid3r | FrozenPY did you check the md5sum before burning? | 16:18 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Oh good. Yeah activate those drivers and restart. | 16:18 |
| FrozenPY | yes, its good | 16:18 |
| Koordin | bakermd: no there is not | 16:18 |
| bakermd | hmm | 16:19 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: Could you check this our, please? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-967778.html | 16:19 |
| bakermd | Koordin: What do you see when issuing ifconfig after the 1 minute has elapsed ( and you are offline ) | 16:19 |
| drizzy77 | wunnymush: thanks for the steps to setup x-fi sound card yesterday, worked perfectly and I finally have sound on my machine. | 16:19 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, rebooting | 16:20 |
| Koordin | bakermd: i'll try next deconnection : ) | 16:20 |
| FrozenPY | nightrid3r: yes, its good, checked it with MD5 Check Utility v2.3 | 16:20 |
| onetinsoldier | wunnymush: can i get that? | 16:20 |
| Charley | hi is someone able to help me with my ubuntu problem? | 16:20 |
| tiyowan | !ask > Charley | 16:20 |
| ubottu | Charley, please see my private message | 16:20 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: did you try turning all desktop visual effects off? | 16:21 |
| nightrid3r | FrozenPY maybe some setting in the bios. it should work cos u have xp on the machine | 16:21 |
| bakermd | ;) | 16:21 |
| onetinsoldier | drizzy77: did you use that open-sourced drivers that creative released back in november? | 16:21 |
| Gnea | Charley: not if we don't know about it | 16:21 |
| nightrid3r | Charley don't ask to ask | 16:21 |
| onetinsoldier | drizzy77: or is there something newer now that hey've been open-sourced? | 16:21 |
| Koordin | bakermd: http://rafb.net/p/EQwlN628.html (i'm using the wifi connection) | 16:22 |
| FrozenPY | nightrid3r: the settings should be good coz tried "Choose Default Setting", then i just changed the boot secuence | 16:22 |
| Charley | i just installed ubuntu and i have a linksys wusb11 that i cant install can someone help me figure this out | 16:22 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: The problem disappears when I switch to metacity. It's only with compiz that it acts up. I've researched the problem, and it seems that the ATI drivers seem to have a slight problem with Compiz. I think the compiz team is working on it though. But from what I've gathered, it's an ATI problem; because when I disable the prop. drivers, all is good. | 16:23 |
| nightrid3r | FrozenPY strange, this should do it, i'm out of options now | 16:23 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, done, now you want the xorg.conf ? | 16:23 |
| drizzy77 | onetinsoldier: i think it was just the drivers released back in November | 16:23 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: yeah, that seems to be the consensus | 16:23 |
| bakermd | Koordin: So that would be wmaster0 then, correct? | 16:23 |
| FrozenPY | nightrid3r: =[ nobody knows =\ | 16:23 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Okay. Does everything seem to be good visually? | 16:23 |
| onetinsoldier | drizzy77: roger. do you have a link to instructions or anything? | 16:23 |
| Koordin | bakermd: eth0 i think ; how can i check ? | 16:23 |
| FrozenPY | but with Wubi it get a good install.. but i dont want wubi.. sucks | 16:24 |
| thebloggu | no, resolution extremely low | 16:24 |
| thebloggu | 640x480 i think | 16:24 |
| === Kudak_ is now known as Kudak | ||
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Verify that the prop. drivers are enabled in H/W drivers? | 16:24 |
| drizzy77 | onetinsoldier: not with me, i am at work and have them wrote down at home | 16:24 |
| GuilhermeCunha | eth1 e eth0 with equal ip address | 16:24 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: interesting. what card? i have noproblem with compiz, with settings maxed if i choose to max them out | 16:24 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, but it is using compiz | 16:24 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, yes | 16:24 |
| onetinsoldier | drizzy77: roger that. wish i could get them! :-) | 16:24 |
| Koordin | GuilhermeCunha: but i have no ethernet cable connected, so eth1 should be off | 16:24 |
| axisys | i got the hostname change instruction from ubottu | 16:25 |
| bakermd | Koordin: eth0/1 should be physical - and yes, the fact that eth0 and eth1 have the same address is incorrect - make sure to disable one of the interfaces | 16:25 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, evidently the headers are not included with libglib2.0-dev | 16:25 |
| dethstar | :( | 16:25 |
| Koordin | bakermd: which one i disable ? and how ? i have no physical cable connected | 16:25 |
| Charley | i have a linksys usb11 that i dont know how to set up.. i checked the web and couldnt find anything that would help me.. does anyone have an anwser? | 16:25 |
| drizzy77 | onetinsoldier: if you are on later today i can get them to you when i get home | 16:25 |
| bakermd | So on my Install Ubuntu on CF issue - I can not even boot the Live CD when the IDE-CF is connected - but can if the IDE is disconnected | 16:25 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: X1400 mobility radeon. It works fine with all the effects. Only problem is flickering video. To fix that, I need to switch to metacity. But then no 3D. :) It's a minor annoyance actually. | 16:25 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: give me the exact error message you get.. do you have the pkg-config package installed? | 16:25 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Okay, *now* we need your xorg.conf file, please. | 16:25 |
| hwilde | dethstar, what file do you want | 16:25 |
| Koordin | i'm almost sure that eth0 is my wifi connection | 16:26 |
| bakermd | Koordin: Are you using CLI or GUI? I use CLI, which would be sudo ifconfig eth1 down | 16:26 |
| hwilde | Koordin, type "iwconfig" and it will tell you which are wireless | 16:26 |
| Koordin | ok eth0 is the wireless one | 16:26 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: oh, roger.. i think i get a little flickering too with opengl stuff like screensavers. otherwise no flicker | 16:26 |
| bakermd | That should not be the case... very odd | 16:26 |
| bakermd | Run the iwconfig as hwilde suggested | 16:26 |
| bakermd | brb | 16:27 |
| thebloggu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901 | 16:27 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, yes I do have pkg-config installed, and the error message says "You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed" | 16:27 |
| Koordin | bakermd: that's what i've done to tell that eth0 is the wireless one | 16:27 |
| tiyowan | Gnea, onetinsoldier: Could you guys help me with thebloggu's problem? He's running intrepid with the nvidia prop. drivers on a geforce4 ti 4200 card. The nivida drivers support his card, but now we're getting very low resolution. | 16:27 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901 | 16:27 |
| onetinsoldier | drizzy77: i might not be here, but no worries. at least i have sound with an onboard sound card for now... but my X-Fi is also sitting in a PCI-e slot just waiting. ;-) | 16:28 |
| hwilde | dethstar, sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev | 16:28 |
| dethstar | hwilde, already been done | 16:28 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Thanks buddy. Now I need to do some more digging. Wait one. | 16:28 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: what version of the nvida driver do you have installed? | 16:28 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok, thank you very much :) | 16:28 |
| thebloggu | 96 | 16:28 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, 96, sorry | 16:28 |
| mostyfriedman | I want to enable database relations in phpmyadmin and I can't figure out how to do that in ubuntu .. anyone willing to help ? | 16:28 |
| hwilde | dethstar, what is this a configure script or something? | 16:28 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: 173 doesn't work? | 16:29 |
| dethstar | hwilde, yes | 16:29 |
| hwilde | dethstar, can you pastebin the configure script please | 16:29 |
| Finnish_ | Anyone online with ATI Radeon HD3450 (or something like)? I'm having problems with HDMI output | 16:29 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, supposingly wont because my card is legacy i think | 16:29 |
| hwilde | mostyfriedman, /join #mysql | 16:29 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: ok, that's different than what you said before. before you said GLib headers... so, that means the Glib headers dependency was solved | 16:29 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, only 71 and 96 support it | 16:29 |
| mostyfriedman | hwilde, it's ubuntu related question because the packagers have changed the ways files and directories are | 16:29 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: okay, I wasn't sure how far back it had gone | 16:29 |
| Koordin | i've written "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" and my connection seems to have become stable | 16:30 |
| hwilde | mostyfriedman, the mysql people will be able to help you more than anyone here. | 16:30 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: I checked the nvidia page on the ubuntu site. The prop. drivers shipping with intrepid support his card. | 16:30 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: try... apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev | 16:31 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: hello | 16:31 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Ok, buddy. Now type this from a terminal please, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" | 16:31 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: so what happens when you load X up? | 16:31 |
| amerinese | anyone using the fish shell? does your "save_function" function work? mine is missing. 8.10, fish version 1.23 | 16:31 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, tiyowan dont know if it helps, but it maybe another kind of problem because i go to nvidia-settings and the monitor detected is crt but my monitor is lcd | 16:31 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: He's stuck on 640x480. | 16:31 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, done that :P | 16:31 |
| komputes | any good command line tools to show you your public IP address? | 16:31 |
| nblracer | need some help, i\mounting a raid; it is a hardware base promise fastrack tx2000, the os is on another drive | 16:32 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: safe-mode? | 16:32 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, nothing, it behaves normally but very low resolution | 16:32 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Ok. So you can't change the resolution from nvidia settings right? | 16:32 |
| ikonia | nblracer the way I'm reading the info on your device it is a windows fakeraid device | 16:32 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, already installed the libgtk2.0-dev package... thanks | 16:32 |
| nblracer | i would like to mount it as read only, btw | 16:32 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: ok.. what is it your are tying to compile? | 16:32 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, the new pifgin | 16:32 |
| nblracer | ikonia: meaning? i saw that there was linux drivers | 16:33 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, only to 320x240 and 640x480 | 16:33 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, the new pidgin | 16:33 |
| ikonia | nblracer the device is classed as a "fake raid" controller from teh documents I'm reading, there are linux drivers but they are VERY old and don't look compatible with modern kernels from what I'm reading | 16:33 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: where cani get it? | 16:33 |
| mogra | does the Intel chipset work fine in 8.10? including Intel X3100 graphics? | 16:33 |
| ikonia | nblracer: I'm just reading a little more on them now | 16:33 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: i will download it and try to compile it | 16:33 |
| Playboy_ | Would it be advisable to dual boot Linux on my Intel Mac? | 16:33 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Still digging. Could you pastebin your xorg.conf again? Gnea could take a look at it. | 16:33 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please? | 16:33 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, pidgin.im | 16:33 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, Gnea and on Configure i can only choose separate x screen.. | 16:33 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: how did you download the source? | 16:34 |
| mogra | Playboy_: should work just fine. Can even use Apple's Boot Manager, iirc. | 16:34 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, Gnea xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901 | 16:34 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: yeah, saw that, looking for the logfile | 16:34 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, by selecting the download link... | 16:34 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Ah yes. Post the logfile, please. | 16:34 |
| Playboy_ | mogra: k, i'll look into it. Thanks. | 16:34 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, brb | 16:34 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: ok | 16:34 |
| nblracer | ikonia: thanks; ubuntu seems to see the hardware fine each drive.partition, just not as a single raid disk | 16:34 |
| onetinsoldier | !pigdin | 16:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pigdin | 16:35 |
| ikonia | nblracer: I've just read on teh release notes that the drivers are only for the 2.4 kernel so the fake raid setup from your windows build won't be visable | 16:35 |
| onetinsoldier | !pidgin | 16:35 |
| ubottu | The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 16:35 |
| Finnish_ | !hdmi | 16:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hdmi | 16:35 |
| ikonia | nblracer: it also appears that the drivers for linux where very bad anyway even if they where usable in a 2.6 kernel | 16:35 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, Gnea /var/log/Xorg.0.log here http://paste.ubuntu.com/90907 | 16:35 |
| asymetrixs | hi, what do i need if i use a raid controller which supports hotplug? do i need special kernel modules which support this hotplug feature too? | 16:35 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, did big foremost scan on the disk image i took from the camera's sd card,, it recover about 30 avi,mov and mpg files but none of them are playable according to totem and vlc | 16:36 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: version 2.5.3 tarball? | 16:37 |
| nblracer | ikonia: is there any work around, should i down grade kernels, an Open source software drivers that can be used | 16:37 |
| echinos | !sound | 16:37 |
| ikonia | nblracer don't downgrade the kernel, a 2.4 kernel won't work and open soruce software won't work on it | 16:37 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 16:37 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: okay, looks like you've got the right driver, but it's not catching the monitor correctly... what monitor do you have and what sort of connection is it using? | 16:37 |
| Playboy_ | Linux is not supported by bootcamp :( | 16:37 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Hey, looks like you've got some monitor problems. What's your monitor's model? | 16:37 |
| ikonia | nblracer: there are notes of using the 2.6 kernel to get a fake raid array built but it has to be assembled from scratch (wiping the disks) and doesn't seem to support rebuilding existing arrays | 16:38 |
| NET||abuse | and recovered 1900 images alltogether,, there are about 20 or 30 that are not viewable at all and another 30 or so that are viewable but like 3 different images spliced together, and then another bunch with greyed out sections. | 16:38 |
| nblracer | ikonia: or is my best bet to part ion my drive and install win Xp on it? | 16:38 |
| mogra | Playboy_: huh, I know YDL used to work fine with bootcamp | 16:38 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: by connection, I mean: VGA, DVI or HDMI | 16:38 |
| mogra | oh, wait, that was Chooser, bootcamp's predecessor | 16:38 |
| ikonia | nblracer I don't know how that card works in windows, but I it seems a better option than linux | 16:38 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, tiyowan Samsung SyncMaster 710N LCD with VGA | 16:38 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: nice. one sec | 16:39 |
| Playboy_ | mogra: ah | 16:39 |
| nblracer | ikonia: last question, you have been a great help; will a bootable version of Windows like BartPe see the raid | 16:40 |
| ikonia | nblracer: no idea | 16:40 |
| ikonia | nblracer: I suspect not | 16:40 |
| ikonia | nblracer: the guys in ##windows may help better than that | 16:40 |
| alexmax | I'm net-installing ubuntu 8.10 on a virtual server. I got an error message that it couldn't download a certian package, yet i hit continue and installation continues. Did it 'fix' it somehow or is the installtion going to flip out when i reboot? | 16:40 |
| loufoque | lately whenever I connect with ssh in command line to another server my password is asked with a GUI even though my public key is already on the server. How do I disable this? | 16:41 |

| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: i see you have some stuff in there, but it loos a little on the empty side. | 16:43 |
| Sergej-FSE-Suhl | uirc.net | 16:43 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: try commenting out the bit in xorg.conf about loading the glx module | 16:43 |
| wunnymush | stil having problem to get a flash chat site to load all the features on it | 16:44 |
| hwilde | wunnymush, please go here and tell me what version you have http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 | 16:44 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: looks a little on the empty side. is this all stuff that's been manually entered in? | 16:44 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777564 <- maybe? | 16:44 |
| wunnymush | hwilde: i'll do that | 16:44 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, no, it was generated from the driver install | 16:44 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, exactly the same, drivers load but resolution low | 16:45 |
| CntrySheepFahker | Does anyone know why when I try to watch a streaming/ flash video online the sound doesn't work and the picture is very choppy/laggy? | 16:46 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: Maybe he needs to reconfigure xorg.conf and manually select his display? | 16:46 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: i was thinking something similar :) | 16:46 |
| === CntrySheepFahker is now known as CntryTrousrTrout | ||
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: ok, roger. i know of a way to generate the file that might work better for you. then, with that file, you would specify the driver that you want to use and any options(such as "AddARGBGLXVisuals") by entering them in manually | 16:46 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | anyone? | 16:46 |
| wunnymush | hwilde: this is the version: LNX 10,0,15,3 | 16:46 |
| hwilde | wunnymush, ok so that is a good sign. now what page are you trying to view that doesn't work | 16:47 |
| alexmax | is there a command that can time how long it takes for a process to complete? | 16:47 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: So how would we go about doing this? I'd to like to learn how to fix stuff like this. :) | 16:47 |
| hwilde | alexmax, put the word time before the command | 16:47 |
| garthdb | Sorry - Newbie question. I just installed Ubuntu and I have a few other hard drives on the system, but when I try to save anything to them it says it can't read or write to them. Any ideas on how to fix this? | 16:47 |
| hwilde | garthdb, are they windows drives | 16:48 |
| garthdb | hwilde: I formatted them with GParted to ext3 | 16:48 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: however, it might not work any better at all. but you wouldn't lose anything by trying. it's up to you | 16:48 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, how ? | 16:48 |
| hwilde | garthdb, are they mounted ? | 16:48 |
| garthdb | hwilde: yup | 16:48 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, of course :) | 16:48 |
| wunnymush | hwilde: http://chat.sol.no i can use the chat, but the chat dropdownmenu doesn't work, and when the chat window apear it's missing a big element | 16:48 |
| hwilde | garthdb, what are the mountpoints | 16:48 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: it requires a number of steps.. but it's not too bad. just make sure to make a backup of your current xorg.conf file... i will paste in the instruction in the next couple of lines. | 16:49 |
| garthdb | hwilde: one is /media/iTunes | 16:49 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, backed up already | 16:49 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | Does anyone know why when I try to watch a streaming/ flash video online the sound doesn't work and the picture is very choppy/laggy? | 16:49 |
| garthdb | hwilde: I'm using it for a itunes media server | 16:49 |
| garthdb | or so the is the plan | 16:50 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Follow onetinsoldier's lead. It's time to do some xorg.conf surgery. :) | 16:50 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok :) | 16:50 |
| jreyes33 | I have a question | 16:50 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: i have no idea if this will work at all. actually, since you guy have been trying to much, i get a bad feeling it won't. but here goes | 16:50 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console termminal 4) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (ie invoke-rc.d gdm stop, this shuts down x-windows completely) 5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory) | 16:51 |
| onetinsoldier | 6) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old 7) sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 8) now it's time to try your new xorg.conf file by starting x-windows back up --> sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> start | 16:51 |
| jreyes33 | can anybody help me out here? | 16:51 |
| hwilde | garthdb, type in cd /media/iTunes then type "touch test.txt" | 16:51 |
| Jonatan | Hej | 16:51 |
| soundray | jreyes33: just ask | 16:51 |
| garthdb | hwilde: permission denied | 16:51 |
| hwilde | wunnymush, that chat does not look right to me. | 16:51 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: what you can do is copy and paste that all into a text file and save it on your hard drive so you can read it with the 'less' command | 16:52 |
| hwilde | garthdb, ok so it's mounted as root or something | 16:52 |
| hwilde | garthdb, you need permissions on the mountpoint | 16:52 |
| jreyes33 | ok, I'm installing ubuntu on my friend's computer and there are conflicts with the graphics card (i guess) because we can't get the graphic installer to work | 16:52 |
| garthdb | hwilde: can I chmod it with sudo? | 16:52 |
| wunnymush | hwilde: it worked fine when i used windows | 16:52 |
| soundray | jreyes33: what graphic installer? | 16:52 |
| Gnea | onetinsoldier, tiyowan, thebloggu: I was thinking step 5) would be sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 16:52 |
| garthdb | hwilde: I'm sure I'm getting all the terms wrong :) | 16:52 |
| fungo | make-kpkg apply the ubuntu patches to the kernel i'm compiling? | 16:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea: have you done that before? it's like, yuk! | 16:53 |
| torero | !ru | 16:53 |
| ubottu | ПожалуйÑта поÑетите #ubuntu-ru Ð´Ð»Ñ Ð¿Ð¾Ð»ÑƒÑ‡ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð¿Ð¾Ð¼Ð¾Ñ‰Ð¸ на руÑÑком Ñзыке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 16:53 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: the normal installer, the one everyone uses | 16:53 |
| soundray | garthdb: first, you should check whether it's writable as sudo: 'sudo touch test' | 16:53 |
| Gnea | onetinsoldier: yeah, it's pretty minimalistic... it works sometimes | 16:53 |
| soundray | jreyes33: so you're having trouble with the CD? | 16:53 |
| Nbomb3 | I just installed Ubuntu on my computer, in double-boot mode, and in Windows, my speakers and everything work fine. But in Ubuntu, my speakers are only putting out maybe half the sound they should be, and on top of that, the headphones don't work at all in Ubuntu... | 16:53 |
| garthdb | hwilde: it doesn't give me an error | 16:54 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: From what I can get from the forums, he needs to select his screen *manually*. Let's see what happens. | 16:54 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan tried step 5 and the screen went black | 16:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea: this way it's done by the Xorg guys, and has worked quickly and nicely for a few guys. it doesn't always work out tho. | 16:54 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: did you leave x-windows? | 16:54 |
| thebloggu | yes | 16:54 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: yeah | 16:54 |
| torero | !ru | 16:54 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: yeah, but i checked it for errors and it has none. I have already tried with two 8.10 CDs and one 8-04 | 16:54 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: did you shut x-windows down completely? | 16:54 |
| soundray | jreyes33: how far do you get in the boot process? | 16:54 |
| Gnea | onetinsoldier: well, just in case it doesn't work, we've got bases covered | 16:55 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, i think so, i stopped gdm and went to the terminal | 16:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea: roger that | 16:55 |
| soundray | garthdb: did it create the test file when you tried with sudo? | 16:55 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: hmmmm, strange | 16:55 |
| hwilde | wunnymush, this is what the page loks like to me: http://helios.aethon.com/tracker/hwilde/juleradio.png | 16:55 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: i get to the menu where you can choose to run ubuntu, install it, memtest, check cd, etc. after I select install or run I get some graphic issues | 16:55 |
| garthdb | hwilde: yup looks like it did | 16:56 |
| torero | #ubuntu_ru | 16:56 |
| soundray | jreyes33: please describe | 16:56 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Give a shot at trying the full series of steps onetinsoldier posted? | 16:56 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan it went completely black, control-c, control-z, control-alt-backspace dont work | 16:56 |
| unr3a1 | hey all | 16:56 |
| wunnymush | hwilde: that's the radiowindow | 16:56 |
| unr3a1 | how can I make a usb drive bootable in linux? | 16:56 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: you didn't go to Ctrl+Alt+F7 did you? | 16:56 |
| thebloggu | no | 16:56 |
| onetinsoldier | ok | 16:56 |
| Gnea | !usb | unr3a1 | 16:56 |
| ubottu | unr3a1: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 16:57 |
| garthdb | hwilde: I'm assuming I should just change the permissions at the mount point, what would be the best to change them too? | 16:57 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: I selected run ubuntu from live cd and I get to see the progress bar, but after it's completed the screen stays black with some spots in the middle, sorry I can't get a screenshot | 16:57 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea: anyway, that command usually creates a pretty full xorg.conf file | 16:57 |
| unr3a1 | Gnea: I already have ubuntu installed. What I want to do is put the image on the USB flash drive, and make the drive bootable. I know how to do that in windows, but not when I am logged into linux | 16:57 |
| garthdb | hwilde: I should have to "admin" type users and I like them to both be able to read at write to it | 16:57 |
| garthdb | hwilde: *two | 16:58 |
| unr3a1 | Gnea: nvm... I see it | 16:58 |
| soundray | jreyes33: thanks, that makes it much clearer. Have you tried the "Safe Graphics" option? | 16:58 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan it went completely black, control-c, control-z, control-alt-backspace dont wor | 16:58 |
| Gnea | unr3a1: :) | 16:58 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan wait | 16:58 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: not yet, don't really now how | 16:58 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: can you switch to ctrl-alt-f1? | 16:59 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan i pressen alt-control-f1 and it went to terminal again | 16:59 |
| hwilde | garthdb, I dunno but the issue is you don't have permisisons on the mount point | 16:59 |
| soundray | jreyes33: it's one of the options on the menu you described earlier. | 16:59 |
| tiyowan | Gnea, onetinsoldier: Is it possible to take the monitor section from the xorg.conf file here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65925 and post it into his file? Because the one in the link is using the same display as his. | 16:59 |
| mekr | Im in Live CD right now, installing ubuntu, in Manual Disk formating section, need help, i can install it in 1 disk (26gb total size) and its ntfs, i need to create other partitions of the 26gb disk? | 16:59 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: instead of trying to run gdm, you can test it with X itself ... just type X and press enter... it may take a little while, but if it works right, you should get a grey screen with an 'x' cursor - ctrl-alt-backspace should back it out | 16:59 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan it says Xorg: symbol error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vga_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86GetPciVideoInfo | 17:00 |
| onetinsoldier | OH! | 17:00 |
| Gnea | oh my | 17:00 |
| tiyowan | Umm... | 17:00 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: ok, let me see what happens. Thanks. one more question: does this mean I'm going to have problems with the graphics card when ubuntu is already installed? | 17:00 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan this after it went to the terminal | 17:00 |
| thebloggu | lets test x now | 17:00 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: that is certainly a problem | 17:01 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: that might work (the monitor section) | 17:01 |
| garthdb | hwilde: thanks for helping me trouble shoot it | 17:01 |
| soundray | jreyes33: that's hard to say, because at this stage we don't know exactly what the problem is. Is there anything unusual about this machine or its graphics that you know of? | 17:01 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier X worked | 17:01 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: that command usually creates a nice full xorg.conf file... but then you have to specify the driver in it | 17:01 |
| russ | how can I set the different wallpaper on dual monitors? | 17:02 |
| Gnea | thebloggu: check your driver in xorg.conf | 17:02 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: I'm thinking, instead of having him manually reconfigure his xorg.conf file, we could *cheat* by getting the screen section in there. | 17:02 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Could you post your xorg.conf now? | 17:02 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan xorg.conf is the same | 17:02 |
| Gnea | tiyowan: well, if he needs to, we'll give that a shot.. he seems to be making some success | 17:02 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: my friend told me he has just removed his graphics card and is now running on the mainboard graphics, but Windows isn't having any problems with that | 17:02 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan including the commented glx part | 17:02 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: well, what about that error? | 17:03 |
| soundray | jreyes33: do you know the make of the onboard graphics chip? | 17:03 |
| thebloggu | Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan should i try to reconfigure x again ? | 17:03 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: alli know is that error message you got absolutely must be solved before anyting is going to work right | 17:04 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: I'm not sure, it's a Biostar mainboard. But so far the installer is already running | 17:04 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, how ? | 17:04 |
| unr3a1 | Gnea: Thanks for the link. Much appreciated | 17:05 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: that i don't know | 17:05 |
| Gnea | thebloggu, tiyowan, onetinsoldier: yeah, try tiyowan's idea with the monitor section | 17:05 |
| soundray | jreyes33: I see, is he just booting the installer for the first time with the "new" setup? | 17:05 |
| Gnea | unr3a1: cheers :) | 17:05 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: I've got no clue about that symbol error. | 17:05 |
| mekr | Im in Live CD right now, installing ubuntu, in Manual Disk formating section, need help, i can install it in 1 disk (26gb total size) and its ntfs, i need to create other partitions of the 26gb disk? or just install it and format it ? | 17:05 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, yes.. version 2.5.3 tarball, and I'm running intrepid 64bit | 17:06 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: but yes.. go with Gnea and tiyowan for now.. add the screen section from that page. i'm googling the error | 17:06 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | Does anyone know why when I try to watch a streaming/ flash video online the sound doesn't work and the picture is very choppy/laggy? | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | mekr, the installer can resize if you want it to.. I normally resize with gparted and leave part of the HD unalocated.. and let the installer install to that. | 17:06 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: roger. i downloaded it. busy with another fellow for the moment | 17:06 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, what should i do ? | 17:07 |
| jab | my sound isnt working, checked alsa, any ideas? | 17:07 |
| soundray | CntryTrousrTrout: perhaps you're using gnash. Install flashplugin-nonfree instead. | 17:07 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: if you mean with the safe graphics, yes. But if you mean if he has booted ubuntu before, no. This is the first time he's installing/trying to install ubuntu | 17:07 |
| tiyowan | Gnea, thebloggu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90928/ <- This has got the screen section, but ATI drivers. | 17:07 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: I downloaded shock flash from their site. | 17:07 |
| soundray | jreyes33: I mean first time since he removed the graphics card | 17:07 |
| mekr | dr_willis: ill create a new partition, may i choose logical or primary? | 17:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea and tiyowan and thebloggu: there is a hit on bugs.launchpad.net... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/265035 | 17:07 |
| soundray | CntryTrousrTrout: remove that and gnash (if it's installed) and install flashplugin-nonfree through the package manager. | 17:08 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, can you make a paste of what you think it may be ? | 17:08 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Could you post your xorg.conf again please? Lemme check. | 17:08 |
| Gnea | !bug 265035 | 17:08 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: what i said, when he had his graphics card he never tried installing ubuntu or any linux distro | 17:08 |
| dr_willis | mekr, linux can use either one. | 17:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea and tiyowan and thebloggu: looks like it might be an ABI problem and an as yet unsolved bug for this other guy that had the issue | 17:09 |
| mekr | dr_willis: whats the difference? | 17:09 |
| wunnymush | hwilde: where do i upload my chatwindow? | 17:09 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, , http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901 | 17:09 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: If this helps heres plugins I have installed from about:plugins http://pastebin.com/m29958065 | 17:09 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: ok, i'm going to try it out now | 17:09 |
| MisterChief | I had to cancel in the middle of downloading/installing updates because of my crappy wifi connection. Now I can't update without it puking errors everywhere. | 17:09 |
| Gnea | onetinsoldier: nice call | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | mekr, disk partiioning basics.. check google/wiki pages.. In short. You can have 4 Primary Partitions per disk.. One can be an Extended partition that holds Logicals... | 17:09 |
| MisterChief | anyway to fix this? | 17:10 |
| jab | could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100% | 17:10 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Hmm...but the binary drivers supports his card. And I've got people with his display model using intrepid properly. And his display works (somewhat) using envy. | 17:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea: thanks. but i didn't read the bug thread too closely. take a look if you haven't yet | 17:10 |
| Gnea | onetinsoldier: k | 17:10 |
| soundray | CntryTrousrTrout: okay, in that case installing the packaged version won't make a difference | 17:10 |
| Arrick | hey all, im having a problem getting my laptop (running latest stable) to record music using audacity, any ideas? | 17:11 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: roger.. take a look at my link. i'm going to try and help dethstar for now | 17:11 |
| Arrick | I need to get it to record | 17:11 |
| soundray | jreyes33: any difference when trying the Safe Graphics option? | 17:11 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Thanks. | 17:11 |
| onetinsoldier | yep | 17:11 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | so then I do have plugins I need thus far correct? | 17:11 |
| thebloggu | onetinsoldier, thank you :) | 17:11 |
| soundray | CntryTrousrTrout: as far as I can tell, yes | 17:11 |

| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok | 17:12 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: So anymore suggestions? | 17:12 |
| The_Joe_ | I've installed the Restricted nVidia drivers but apparently my max resolution is 640x400 - which I know it's not | 17:13 |
| tiyowan | Oh dear. *same* problem as thebloggu's. | 17:13 |
| dekkong | The_Joe_: do you have Nvidia X-Server Settings? | 17:13 |
| soundray | CntryTrousrTrout: check whether something else is hogging your CPU | 17:13 |
| The_Joe_ | dekkong, Yes | 17:13 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: yes. It's actually now working. But it's not working in full resolution, i.e. if you move the mouse to the edges of the screen you get to scroll the screen. Monitor res: 1440x900 | 17:13 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, ye | 17:13 |
| The_Joe_ | dekkong, I can't change the resolution there either | 17:13 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, yes | 17:13 |
| dekkong | The_Joe_: hmm | 17:14 |
| thebloggu | The_Joe_, welcome to the club :P | 17:14 |
| dethstar | anyone used the new dell keyboards.. I hate them | 17:14 |
| The_Joe_ | thebloggu, Got t-shirts? :P | 17:14 |
| jab | could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100% | 17:14 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Ok. I need you to copy the Monitor section into your xorg.conf file okay? But make a backup first, please. | 17:14 |
| hischild | dethstar, that's offtopic here. | 17:14 |

| AutoMatriX | The_Joe_, resolution problem in your Xorg ? | 17:14 |
| KST_ | hi | 17:15 |
| KST_ | hi | 17:15 |
| soundray | jreyes33: that's likely to be okay once the system is installed properly. Your friend may have to enable a proprietary driver then (System-Administration-Hardware Drivers). | 17:15 |
| The_Joe_ | AutoMatriX, Yes | 17:15 |
| jab | could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100% | 17:15 |
| resnostyle | hey guys. i am intereted in installing ubunut on a new windows machine using a dual boot. i installed it on one machine with 2000 pro and it worked but i am curious how well it would work with XP. | 17:15 |
| Gnea | !sound | jab | 17:15 |
| ubottu | jab: 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 | 17:15 |
| Arrick | misterchef you could always delete temp files and see if it allows you to run it | 17:15 |
| AutoMatriX | The_Joe_, just coming in, so I did not see the eact question ... but I might have an anwer | 17:15 |
| Anacranom | resnostyle, the same | 17:15 |
| Pici | resnostyle: IT would work exactly the same. | 17:15 |
| jab | could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100% | 17:15 |
| Gnea | tiyowan, thebloggu: the intrepid way of configuring X seems to have changed radically | 17:15 |
| resnostyle | jablo: i found pluggin headphones will allow me to hear when sounds isnt coming out speakers (laptop) | 17:15 |
| The_Joe_ | AutoMatriX, Ok - well I've installed the Restricted nVidia Drivers and my resolution won't go higher than 640x400 | 17:16 |
| Gnea | !repeat | jab | 17:16 |
| ubottu | jab: 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 | 17:16 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: After copying the Monitor section, I want you to copy the entire Screen section into you xorg.conf file, except for the line beginning with Device. | 17:16 |
| The_Joe_ | AutoMatriX, The card is an old GeForce2 MX200 if it helps | 17:16 |
| jab | thanks reno | 17:16 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, are they "enabled" and "in use"? | 17:16 |
| jreyes33 | soundray: I've worked with that before. So that's it, thanks a lot! Right now it's in the installation process. Thanks | 17:16 |
| thebloggu | The_Joe_, Geforce legacy ? once again, join the club | 17:16 |
| AutoMatriX | The_Joe_, nost very 'nice' but it worked using the Xorg config file I stole from a 7.04 version ;) | 17:16 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, Yes - as far as I know | 17:16 |
| thebloggu | time to make some tshirts :P | 17:16 |
| resnostyle | Anacranom: pici: have you heard of major problems when doing this? i am nervous about changing my xp install to put this up there. | 17:17 |
| The_Joe_ | thebloggu, Sounds like a good idea! | 17:17 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: Such as? Now I do have compiz running, but it doesn't effect my video from harddrive. SO I dont know there. Umm my sound source is HDMI, which took me awhile to even get it working, but ive tried default alsa ect and no go. As far as hogging cpu I wouldn't know how to check that. Ive had linux for 4 days now. | 17:17 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, go to system>admin~>hardware... and it ill show | 17:17 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, Yes it definitely is | 17:17 |
| thebloggu | The_Joe_, if my xorg.xonf solves the problem i tell you The_Joe_ | 17:17 |
| The_Joe_ | thebloggu, Thanks | 17:17 |
| Hoffly | Hi guys, i have been trying for ages not to set up alsa. i got it working for a2 days then mysteriously after a reboot it stopped working. I read that OSS is better but that dosent work either. | 17:18 |
| Anacranom | and u have installed nvidia-settings ? | 17:18 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: After copying the monitor and screen sections, I want you to pastebin your file again so I can take a look. | 17:18 |
| === odder_ is now known as odder | ||
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: ok, i'm installing libgtk2.0-devright now | 17:18 |
| jab | thank you reno, plugging headphones made it work for some reason *throws hands up* | 17:18 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, Yes. That installed with the drivers | 17:18 |
| soundray | CntryTrousrTrout: one way is to run gnome-system-monitor and click on the '%CPU' header to order processes by CPU use. | 17:18 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, okay | 17:18 |
| resnostyle | jab, i know its quite weird. | 17:18 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, the sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings ? | 17:18 |
| resnostyle | jab, i checked on the internet and noticed someone else used that as soltuion even after everything is completed correctly. | 17:19 |
| AutoMatriX | The_Joe_, so I guess you might download a live version of ubuntu 7.04 and copy and paste your xorg.conf :) | 17:19 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: i just got ./configure --prefix=/usr to complete successfully | 17:19 |
| joejc | can anyone help me with a problem? | 17:19 |
| The_Joe_ | AutoMatriX, If only the burner worked | 17:19 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: doh! wait! | 17:19 |
| Karti | Hi all, quick question about another user with admin rights on the pc. I would like to get my wife to move away from Windows(It won't be easy) but if I clone my drive and add her as a user are there specific groups that she has to be in to amend add software etc. Many thanks | 17:19 |
| resnostyle | joejc: i would advise you just state you problem, instead of asking can someone help you. | 17:19 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: not quite yet... XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. | 17:19 |
| Pici | resnostyle: No, I've had no issues with any dual boot installs I've done. 2000 is not much different than XP. | 17:19 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, Yes yes yes - it's installed | 17:19 |
| soundray | joejc: that's impossible to tell without a description of the problem | 17:20 |
| ackbahr | Hi! How do I suspend (stop) and restart a process from command line (SSH)? | 17:20 |
| AutoMatriX | The_Joe_, I'll paste mine then, it is also an olg Geforce | 17:20 |
| The_Joe_ | !ask | joejc | 17:20 |
| ubottu | joejc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:20 |
| The_Joe_ | AutoMatriX, Ok - thank you | 17:20 |
| resnostyle | ackbahr: you need the id number, then run kill | 17:20 |
| soundray | ackbahr: Ctrl-Z to suspend, 'bg' to make it run in the background, 'fg' to return it to the foreground. | 17:20 |
| aaron_ | test | 17:21 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, i'll pastebin my xorg.conf and you can look at the subsection with the resolutions.. | 17:21 |
| ackbahr | resnostyle: but what signal do I send? | 17:21 |
| ackbahr | (for start and stop) | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | ackbahr, you may want to check out some bash guides and 'job controll' chapters. | 17:21 |
| soundray | ackbahr: please try my suggestion first | 17:21 |

| Anacranom | The_Joe_, http://pastebin.com/f9f4d0d0 | 17:21 |
| Pici | dethstar: The easiest way to ensure that you have all the build dependencies for something that is already in the repositories would be to do a: sudo apt-get build-dep packagename | 17:22 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, forget to erase a screen section :P | 17:22 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, Ok - I'll try it | 17:22 |
| dr_willis | ackbahr, 'screen' may be very worth learning about. :) its a handy tool for keeping jobs in the background | 17:22 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, sorry wrong box | 17:22 |
| joejc | i just upgraded and i cant use the visual effects any more and becuse my graphics driver isnt working and when i reinstal it and restart i get an error a need to use the default graphics configuration | 17:22 |
| dethstar | Pici, it will do that for a package that you're compiling from source? | 17:22 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, wait 1, i send the correct one | 17:22 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, Ok | 17:22 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: you will need to install the following... apt-get install libstartup-notification0 libstartup-notification0-dev | 17:23 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Put the entire device section first. Then the monitor section. Then the screen section. | 17:23 |
| whyameye | ever since I switched to FF/ubuntu I've had this problem with flash have some flash menus etc. showing up BELOW jpgs etc. on a web page when they are supposed to be on top. Any known fix for this? | 17:23 |
| soundray | ackbahr: 'man kill' in that case. The docs of the program should tell you what it does when you send the various signals. | 17:23 |
| ackbahr | soundray: ok | 17:23 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, thx.. I'll try that | 17:23 |
| ackbahr | dr_willis: I'll look into it | 17:23 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: that's not all.. hang on | 17:23 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, k | 17:23 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: cpu resources is cpu1 4 percent cpu2 is 10 percent, under %cpu only process is the windows I have up at this time.. | 17:24 |
| joejc | ne one? | 17:24 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Module section first. Then device. Then monitor. And finally screen. | 17:24 |
| The_Joe_ | Anacranom, May not need to - someone is sending me their xorg which is for legacy nVidias | 17:24 |
| Pici | dethstar: If the package is already in the repos, then it will get the build-depends for that package, which are likely the same thing for the new source. | 17:24 |
| ackbahr | soundray: It doesn't tell much about what the various signals do, actually.... | 17:24 |
| Anacranom | The_Joe_, ok, well here it is if you want to take a look, i manually input the resolutions i wanted... http://pastebin.com/f3e9c2cd0 | 17:25 |
| soundray | ackbahr: that's because it depends on the program that receives the signals how it deals with them. | 17:25 |
| adrenaline | anybody know how I can change my default browser in ubuntu? | 17:25 |

| onetinsoldier | dethstar: apt-get install libmeanwhile1 libmeanwhile1-dev | 17:30 |

| amikrop | soundray: to reinstall the package it installed it | 17:33 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, like Pici said.. I ran the build-dep for pidgin and it everything else I needed. Which happened to be alot. | 17:33 |
| amikrop | soundray: no package installed it. it was there by default | 17:33 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: well the way I did it was through appearance and back to default appearance no the extra .. within compiz itself is there a checkbox to disable all compiz for time being? | 17:33 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, which funny, because I thought since I hadn | 17:33 |
| amikrop | soundray: can you send it to me, please? | 17:34 |
| onetinsoldier | dethstar: ahhh, i see. i have to remember that... build-dep! | 17:34 |
| dethstar | onetinsoldier, purged the old pidgin.. then the deps would still be there | 17:34 |

| Torne | when i set my screen resolution to 1920x1080 all fonts below a certain size become hideously ugly. They look fine at 1360x768... | 17:41 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: I'm here, buddy. | 17:41 |
| robophred | christianp if I recall properly, I did it from a guide in the ubuntu wiki | 17:41 |

| amikrop | soundray: thanks | 17:42 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: so.. what did you guys find out for thebloggu ? | 17:42 |
| isle85 | hello, I have a pb but I read a message that could be the fix I was looking for. The pb is that I don't understand where to "boot with a parameter irqfixup". someone could help ? | 17:42 |
| energY_ | How do I share a printer using cups? | 17:42 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, done, logging in now | 17:42 |
| hwilde | isle85, does your systme boot or not | 17:42 |
| fosco__ | Hangwire, nothing will be deleted | 17:42 |
| isle85 | yeap | 17:42 |
| unr3a1_ | how do I mount an ISO to my virtual cdrom drive? | 17:42 |
| soundray | !mountiso | unr3a1_ | 17:43 |
| ubottu | unr3a1_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning. | 17:43 |
| hwilde | isle85, open a terminal type "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 17:43 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: DSL on the floppy? Not just a bootloader? | 17:43 |
| Hangwire | fosco__ thank you for the help :) | 17:43 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, exactly the same.. | 17:43 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Well, we're trying a custom-made xorg.conf file. | 17:43 |

| joejc | on the boot loader screen it has the os version followed by the kernal version can and change the kernal? | 17:43 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: roger. | 17:43 |
| isle85 | hwilde: yes, but I read that : "Dead USB after startup" Re: Dead USB after strartup! | 17:43 |
| isle85 | Quote: Originally Posted by jcaveman If your booting with the noapic option, you might want to add irqfixup to the boot options.

Adding irqfixup to the boot options kept the usb ports from being disabled. | 17:43 |

| === radu11_ is now known as radu11 | ||
| thebloggu | tiyowan, yes | 17:44 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: what is too difficult? | 17:44 |
| mib_gzov5guf | Hello All | 17:44 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Ok. Last try. *Reboot* your system, then try to change the resolution from nvidia settings again. And check whether it's detecting it as an LCD now. | 17:44 |
| christianp | tonyyarusso, i make a boot floppy... it starts a system... and then? how can i boot fromusb? | 17:45 |
| xaeroe | is it possible to get smooth fullscreen flash video with 8.10 x64? i tried the plugin from synaptic and the alpha. regular size is ok, fullscreen is extremely choppy | 17:45 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok | 17:45 |
| hischild | How can i let a script execute a command on a remote box via SSH? Got passwordless login. | 17:45 |
| isle85 | This is the problem hwilde : I typed what you said | 17:45 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, mayve a just should change to 8.04 | 17:46 |
| soundray | hischild: 'ssh username@remotehost /path/to/script' | 17:46 |
| christianp | tonyyarusso, it asks for the kind of boot i want to do (a lot of options) | 17:46 |
| christianp | but now? | 17:46 |
| hischild | soundray, the /path/to/script can be on the remote server? | 17:46 |
| hwilde | isle85, ok good so now you have a text editor right ? | 17:46 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: A few questions: a) can your system read CDs but not boot them, or does it have no CD at all? b) how old is the system (approx.)? | 17:46 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Give the reboot a shot first, then let me know how that went. | 17:46 |
| soundray | hischild: yes | 17:46 |
| hischild | soundray, and anything can be done as long as no user input is required, correct? | 17:46 |
| christianp | tonyyarusso, it have no cd | 17:46 |
| isle85 | hwilde: yes, but where to add that parameter ? which line ? | 17:47 |
| Neppord | DRebellion: what about this driver(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD) | 17:47 |
| christianp | i don't know how old isit | 17:47 |
| mib_gzov5guf | I've recently installed ubunto 8.10, when I try to activate Nvidia drivers, I get an empty error message and nothing happens what the problem? | 17:47 |
| christianp | i boot from floppy and now dsl is wating for my choose in a "boot:" prompt | 17:47 |
| joejc | whats command to edit grub? | 17:47 |
| hischild | mib_gzov5guf, you have to update first. Go to the update screen and click on reload. | 17:47 |
| hwilde | isle85, you are looking for a line near the top that says # kopt | 17:47 |
| christianp | now how can i say "starts from usb?" | 17:47 |
| ks | what's good way to set JAVA_HOME in ubuntu, in centos i have /alternative? | 17:47 |
| mib_gzov5guf | before updating the system, no dialog box appeared | 17:48 |
| ks | is /etc/profile a good way? | 17:48 |
| hwilde | isle85, delete the # sign so that line is uncommented, then add your irqfixup to the list of options | 17:48 |
| DRebellion | Neppord, interesting... I don't think I've come across that one before. Looks good. | 17:48 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | soundray: do you know why my firefox doesn't have this location? /etc/firefox/firefoxrc . I am using firefox 3.0 though I do think I'm going to try to add command FIREFOX_DSP="aoss" | 17:48 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: *Approximately* how old? I'm trying to figure out if it can just boot USB natively. | 17:48 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: DSL is the wrong floppy to use for this. | 17:48 |
| christianp | no it can't | 17:48 |
| soundray | hischild: if you wanted to run X programs via the ssh link, you'd have to ssh -X | 17:48 |
| isle85 | hwilde: is it this one ? : # defoptions=quiet splash | 17:48 |
| hwilde | isle85, you are looking for a line near the top that says # kopt | 17:48 |
| christianp | tonyyarusso, ah,ok | 17:48 |
| soundray | hischild: user interaction isn't normally a problem | 17:49 |
| hwilde | isle85, # kopt=root=UUID=a608355f-cfbe-4627-a7b3-c83942161322 ro | 17:49 |
| christianp | so, what other? | 17:49 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: all right. Let me double-check whether a utility does USB - brb. | 17:49 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, the same | 17:49 |
| isle85 | hwilde: ok, I saw it. What to do if I can't boot with that new option | 17:49 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: I'm out of ideas then. :( | 17:49 |
| joejc | any one know the command to edit grub??? | 17:50 |

| sysdoc | Firefox>What is the switch to have it open with the profile manager? | 17:50 |

| mogra | joejc: JFGI, http://www.google.com/search?q=edit+grub | 17:50 |
| hwilde | isle85, well you could/should try it manually first, if you hit ESC to get into grub, hit down to the kernel line, hit E to edit, go to the end of hte line and add the option you want to test, hit enter to boot. if it works, make it permanent in the file | 17:50 |
| hischild | soundray, I've got my laptop and pc tightly integrated with each other, but now i want to automate the features i've implemented so far. The audio is send to the pc from the laptop, file sharing via sshfs from pc to laptop and vice versa is running and synergy for a single keyboard/mouse for both. I can do all of this in a single script, but i prefer to only have to run 1 script instead of 2. | 17:51 |
| thebloggu | joejc, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:51 |
| ks | uh never mind i'll use /etc/environment | 17:51 |
| sysdoc | !firefox profile manager | 17:51 |

| christianp | tonyyarusso, i try feather linux, with the same problem | 17:52 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: It looks like it does, provided that your BIOS is new enough to at least understand the presence of the USB drive. | 17:52 |
| bidossessi | christianp, what problem? | 17:52 |
| christianp | it's waiting for a choice | 17:52 |
| christianp | boot: | 17:52 |
| The_Joe_ | joejc, As root! | 17:52 |
| The_Joe_ | joejc, And backup first | 17:52 |
| tonyyarusso | christianp: The floppy you want to make is SBM - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager. You will then prepare the USB drive with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick. Alternatively, you could look into any of the network options listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations. | 17:52 |

| sjust1216 | tried envy and the ones from repository | 17:58 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: No luck with thebloggu yet. Now I'm thinking maybe it's a known issue or something. Reconfiguring x shouldn't give that symbol error. | 17:58 |
| bidossessi | sjust1216, i didn't do anything, special, just ran the distribution upgrade, and all was working... | 17:59 |
| sjust1216 | I'll give it a try | 17:59 |
| CntryTrousrTrout | Does anyone know why when I watch movies from websites the video has no sound and the video is also choppy. Although plain audio does work in the browser itself. | 17:59 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: well, did you ever read the link i gave? about the known bug? | 17:59 |
| bidossessi | sjust1216, so maybe you could remove whatever you have installed, clean up your cache and start from scratch (just with nvidia of couser :)) | 17:59 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: nvm... i see what you're saying now | 17:59 |

| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: There's a possible fix there...hmmm.... | 18:05 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: ok, good luck. you'll probably have better luck with your hardware with 8.04 ;-) | 18:05 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: You *could* try renaming /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so.off, then following onetinsoldier's steps again to see whether you get an auto-generated xorg.conf file. | 18:05 |

| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok, last try how ? | 18:06 |
| onetinsoldier | thebloggu: you might wait for one very last try! tiyowan says there might be a possible fix there. he 's reading about the bug right now | 18:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | BacTalan Are you following our tutorial on how to do that? | 18:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | topsub ebox seems to have some issues as well as webmin.. | 18:07 |
| topsub | does ebox work the same as webmin? | 18:07 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: First, rename the file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so.off. | 18:07 |
| thebloggu | can i do that from command line ? how ? | 18:07 |
| topsub | lol so seems there isn't a good solution for this huh? | 18:07 |

| tiyowan | thebloggu: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console terminal 4) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (ie invoke-rc.d gdm stop, this shuts down x-windows completely) 5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory) 6) make a backup of your old xorg.co | 18:09 |

| onetinsoldier | tiyowan and thebloggu: well the original copy of might still be in your home directory | 18:32 |
| onetinsoldier | of it* | 18:32 |

| andax | what is the ubuntu way to configure wlan to come up automatically on boot? I don't like this 'windowmanager handles network' thing. I know how to set it up and all, I'm just asking if there is an 'ubuntu way' like setting it up using a gui or something. ? | 18:36 |
| shausam27 | hi | 18:36 |
| Org-Mode | lol what is the "ubuntu way"? | 18:36 |
| n8tuser | andax -> man interfaces | 18:36 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan and thebloggu: perhaps he should use the file created by the Xorg -configure command, then add the Screens section from that post you found that had the same monitor as he does? i dunno | 18:37 |
| Seveas | Org-Mode, first street on the left from main street ;) | 18:37 |
| Org-Mode | haha | 18:37 |
| joejc | nexus23, id use ntsf so if ur using a windows machine you can still use it | 18:37 |

| andax | Org-Mode: this ubuntu thing seems to be aimed at the complete newbie, it even setup my mobile broadband in 2 seconds after connecting the phone, everything is working out-of-the box, zero errors... so it seems to be that there should be a way to configure wireless to come up at an earlier runlevel without needing to create a startup script for it. | 18:39 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Oh wait. I have it here. Wait one | 18:39 |
| thebloggu | tiyowan, ok thank you | 18:39 |

| andax | Seveas, thanks for the help, now off to reboot and see if it comes up :) | 18:42 |
| mnemonic76 | The one that asks all the questions to determine the keybd layout. | 18:43 |
| Seveas | andax, let me know, I've never tried it :) | 18:43 |
| Seveas | damn | 18:43 |
| Twile | shausam27: Compact your files into an archive | 18:43 |
| Twile | then you can password protect the archive | 18:43 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Overwrite your xorg.conf with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/90996/, then try. | 18:43 |
| Seveas | mnemonic76, system -> prefs -> keyboard comes close but it doesn't ask the questions. It does show pictures of layouts though so you can compare | 18:43 |
| n8tuser | shausam27 -> will the use of ACL help? | 18:43 |

Originally, he was using the envy drivers, but that caused his display to distort. After installing the binary drivers, his system detects his LCD as a CRT. Trying dpkg reconfigure came up with a symbol error. But we found a fix for that. He's stuck at low reso | 18:52 |

| amen51 | ikonia, there are many kernels | 19:19 |
| jeff008 | ok i try it hspaans ;) | 19:19 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Hey mate, I'm back. Any luck on your problem yet? | 19:19 |
| amen51 | and two versions of ubuntu | 19:19 |
| sara- | Gnea, on my machine? | 19:19 |
| ikonia | amen51: how many versions of ubuntu or linux do you have on that machine | 19:19 |
| amen51 | i'm seeing my older menu.lst | 19:20 |
| ikonia | amen51: are you using a shared /boot partition | 19:20 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, restarted x and no logo | 19:20 |
| amen51 | no | 19:20 |
| ikonia | amen51: stop asnwering questions I'm not asking | 19:20 |
| Gnea | sara-: that's a joke, right? | 19:20 |
| c0p3rn1c | shanenvy: yes, check http://compiz-fusion.org | 19:20 |
| ikonia | amen51: thats the problem then | 19:20 |
| sara- | no Gnea | 19:20 |
| amen51 | ikonia, what is the problem | 19:20 |
| Gnea | sara-: why would I install it on your system? | 19:20 |
| ikonia | amen51: grub is reading the menu.lst from your other /boot partition, this is what happens if you don't set multi-boot up and just blindly install operating systems next to each other | 19:20 |
| sara- | dunno | 19:20 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: let me guess, still bad resolution | 19:21 |
| Gnea | !freenx | 19:21 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 19:21 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, resolution is equal and nvidia-settings detects the monitor as crt | 19:21 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, yes | 19:21 |
| c0p3rn1c | well I got to go | 19:21 |
| c0p3rn1c | cu later | 19:21 |
| shanenvy | Wow, it says press ctrl+alt+right arrow to move it...All it does is switch desktops..Desk 1 and Desk 2 | 19:21 |
| Gnea | sara-: the documentation is there, it's very easy to follow, people here use it and it works. you can't go wrong with it. | 19:21 |
| shanenvy | It doesn't work. | 19:21 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: I don't think it's using the nvidia driver | 19:21 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: I think it's falling back to vesa which is why your shaving poor performance | 19:21 |
| amen51 | ikonia, it used be woking | 19:21 |
| ziroday | shanenvy: by default ubuntu's compiz is not set to use the desktop cube. | 19:21 |
| crash- | c.arcti.ca | 19:21 |
| ikonia | amen51: so ? | 19:21 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, what should i do ? | 19:22 |
| sara- | well im such a noob first i forget my password for root then i forget my password AND username after i intalled ubuntu (did this twice earlier on today re installing each time simply because i dont/cant do techie things like alter certain files to regain root access) ... so dunno, i might go wrong with it... | 19:22 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: I can work this through with you, but I can't at this exact seconds as I'm on a slow connection and not long now until I get off a train | 19:22 |
| amen51 | it was reading the menu.lst in /boot on my new partition | 19:22 |
| ikonia | I can work this through with you in approx 3 minutes | 19:22 |
| ikonia | amen51: it's not now | 19:22 |
| amen51 | ikonia, ok what do you suggest | 19:22 |
| ESphynx | hey guys | 19:22 |
| Alex_Gaynor | I'm having a problem with my laptop(running Ubuntu 8.10) I'm getting very frequent hard crashes(flashing Caps and Scroll lock keys) pretty soon after booting, less then 10 minutes in I would say, what can I do to diagnose this(I'm at a root shell on that machine) | 19:23 |
| ESphynx | what's the name of the fancy installer that auto get dependencies? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | amen51: using a shared /boot partition so only one grub version is installed | 19:23 |
| ziroday | sara-: to find your home partition you can ls -l your /home dir | 19:23 |
| ikonia | ESphynx: synaptic | 19:23 |
| ESphynx | thanks ikonia | 19:23 |
| ESphynx | ikonia: DOes it come with ubuntu by default? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: 35 minutes sorry | 19:23 |
| ikonia | ESphynx: yes | 19:23 |
| sara- | ziroday, anoutherday perhaps | 19:23 |
| ESphynx | ok cool thanks | 19:23 |
| ziroday | ESphynx: or the backend which is apt-get | 19:23 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, ok, can you explain briefly what you intend to do ? maybe i can search information ? or do you think it's better to go 8.04 as i said ? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | ESphynx: system -> administration -> menu | 19:23 |
| mnemonic76 | seveas: looks like there is a package called keymapper to do what I want... I am trying it now. | 19:23 |
| ziroday | sara-: what exactly are you trying to do? | 19:23 |
| sara- | ziroday, i am rather fond of a file system | 19:24 |
| amen51 | ikonia, is there a guide somewhere which i can use to avoid messing up my system | 19:24 |
| soundray | Alex_Gaynor: it could be overheating, or it could be a RAM problem, or it could be something more obscure. I'd run memtest86 on it for a while first thing | 19:24 |
| ESphynx | ziroday: right but apt-get doesn't auto get dependencies ... | 19:24 |
| theatrus | ESphynx, yes it does | 19:24 |
| theatrus | so does aptitude and synaptic | 19:24 |
| Alex_Gaynor | soundray: I really hope it's not a heating problem(it's subzero F here :P ), I've run memtest before, for some reason it always freezes up right after I start it, I've replaced RAM 3 times now | 19:25 |
| ESphynx | theatrus I thought last time I tried it didn't? | 19:25 |
| ziroday | ESphynx: apt-get installs dependencies as well :), what exactly are you trying to do? | 19:25 |
| sara- | well my lappy is next door and my flatmates using it, he wants to sit in the living room whilst watching his rats give birth... i need to hav the camera stream through the net to a site, and be able to watch it here in the sitting room | 19:25 |
| amen51 | ikonia, thanks anyways | 19:25 |
| soundray | ESphynx: aye? apt-get does install dependencies for you... | 19:25 |
| ESphynx | strange | 19:25 |
| === Mud|shower is now known as Mud | ||
| ESphynx | I would have thought it didn't... trying to instruct someone how to install my .deb package | 19:26 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: sure, check the xorg logs to see if there is a reason it's faling back, then start forcing xorg to use nvidia config if it likes it or not | 19:26 |
| Alex_Gaynor | soundray: I also don't have these crashing problems on windows, which si why I'm reticent to think it's a hardware issue | 19:26 |
| ziroday | ESphynx: what command are you giving him? | 19:26 |
| theatrus | but if memtest is basically locking up... | 19:26 |
| chipt4 | Hi, I'm looking for help with my ubuntu server.. I am wondering if there's a way to browse what all packages are available through aptitude.. or more specifically, is there a package for phpmyadmin? | 19:26 |
| ikonia | chipt4: apt-cache search | 19:27 |
| theatrus | apt-cache search phpMyAdmin | 19:27 |
| ESphynx | ziroday i'm telling him to run synaptic right now :P | 19:27 |
| carandraug | chipt4: aptitude search phpmyadmin | 19:27 |
| ikonia | chipt4: if you use the desktop ubuntu install you can use the synaptic gui whic makes things much easier | 19:27 |
| ESphynx | oh ziroday, it's cause my package isn't on the Ubuntu repo | 19:27 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/91033 | 19:27 |
| Tetracomm | Could you recommend a decent video editor for Linux? | 19:27 |
| ESphynx | so apt-get doesn't work, it's the other dpkg or what not installer command | 19:27 |
| Gnea | sara-: well, unless you're willing to pay someone in here, you're going to have to do it yourself (and if it breaks and you have no 'net access, then how would you fix it if you don't know how to do it?) | 19:27 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:27 |
| ziroday | ESphynx: thats correct, if he's using ubuntu you can ask him to download the .deb package and then double click to install it | 19:28 |
| chipt4 | k, it returned 'phpmyadmin - Administrate MySQL over the WWW' so is 'phpmyadmin' the package name, and the rest the description? | 19:28 |
| ESphynx | ziroday double click runs synaptic by default? | 19:28 |
| jonaskoelker | hello all. I've enabled sticky keys and flagged "Disable on simult. keypress" to off, yet I keep getting popups asking me if I want to turn sticky keys off when I press two keys at the same time. How do I turn the popups off? | 19:28 |
| chipt4 | ikonia: it's a server, i'm ssh'd in | 19:28 |
| theatrus | dpkg is a backend package manager, it won't go finding deps for you, but it still enforces them | 19:28 |
| theatrus | chipt4, yup | 19:28 |
| === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk | ||
| carandraug | chipt4: yes | 19:28 |
| ziroday | ESphynx: gdebi runs on double click for .deb packages | 19:28 |
| chipt4 | awesome guys, thanks | 19:28 |
| ijustam | what's the word on pulseaudio | 19:28 |
| ijustam | is still a pile | 19:28 |
| ijustam | is it* | 19:29 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: According that it, x is still having trouble detecting your display. | 19:29 |
| chipt4 | also, i've heard you're not supposed to use apt-get, instead use aptitude install.. is this correct? i'm on 8.04 lts | 19:29 |
| ziroday | ijustam: it depends on what you are doing | 19:29 |
| soundray | Alex_Gaynor: Ubuntu and memtest86 are different enough that if both crash, I would blame the hardware. Also, it crashing 10 minutes after booting points toward hardware. | 19:29 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: most interesting according to that it's using the nvidia driver ok, and it likes the logo option, but it's not displaying it | 19:29 |
| ESphynx | ziroday : right and i think gdebi doesn't work to get dependencies, but synaptic does | 19:29 |
| ikonia | chipt4: no, apt-ge tis fine | 19:29 |
| jonaskoelker | chipt4: apt-get and aptitude are fairly interchangable | 19:29 |
| ijustam | ziroday: i dont even know if i use it | 19:29 |
| ikonia | chipt4: apt-get is fine | 19:29 |
| ijustam | but my sound doesn't work so i want to blame it :s | 19:29 |
| jonaskoelker | chipt4: aptitude is slower, has more search options and writes a nice log file. | 19:29 |
| chipt4 | right on.. thanks | 19:29 |
| ziroday | ESphynx: gdebi _should_ do dependencies but can't be certain :) | 19:29 |
| jonaskoelker | chipt4: pick your tradeoff ;) | 19:30 |
| soundray | Alex_Gaynor: I wouldn't be surprised if it crashed under MS Windows, too, if you ran something demanding. | 19:30 |
| chipt4 | i'm in no hurry and log files are always nice, so i'll stick with aptitude :) | 19:30 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, dont know what to do.. | 19:30 |
| jonaskoelker | ijustam: pulseaudio@ubuntu works fine for me. pa@debian otoh... :( | 19:30 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: nvidia-settings is also detecting thebloggu's LCD as a CRT. | 19:30 |
| chipt4 | thanks a million, you guys are really helpful [and not snooty like some linux channels! :) ] | 19:30 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, really i think it may be better to install 8.04 | 19:30 |
| Alex_Gaynor | soundray: I do a fair amount of demanding work under windows(and I actually was't doing anything demanging under Ubuntu) soundray: Doesn't the fact that memtest crashes point to it being a hardware, but not memory, I would think memtest is specifically built to survive bad memory so it can test it | 19:30 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: I can work this through with you in 35 minutes as I said, but I'm about to get off a train and not on a good connection to do this | 19:30 |
| ikonia | tiyowan: crt doesn't really make a big deal any more, it's just a name, what is important is that it can't get the edid info for the monoitor | 19:31 |
| Delvien | SSH problem, I connect through the same network its fine and takes my RSA fingerprint, when i connect from outside the network it says RSA fingerprint aut failed. | 19:31 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: if you want to install 8.04 please do so | 19:31 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: *nod* | 19:31 |
| erisch | i can ping my router but i cant ping a ubuntu pc or a windows pc, any ideas? firewalls of windows is offline | 19:31 |
| soundray | Alex_Gaynor: I can't answer that definitively, but your argument sounds reasonable | 19:31 |
| sonoma | /join #xubuntu | 19:31 |
| ikonia | erisch: what command are you using exactly | 19:31 |
| erisch | ikonia: ping ip | 19:32 |
| Alex_Gaynor | soundray: Any idea as to how I could go about diagnosing it(whatever *it* is) | 19:32 |
| ikonia | erisch: please show me the exact command | 19:32 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, i woukd like to solve the problem but since the support of my card is low maye it's better to go back | 19:32 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, or should i try to solve it ? | 19:32 |
| der|kunstler | after coming from sleep, my network doesn't work, is this a known problem ? | 19:32 |
| joejc | if i upgrade to jaunty would that fix my problem with compiz and mt drivers? | 19:32 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: according tot he docs that card is still supported | 19:32 |

| reepime | Can someone help me? I have lost my ability to use sudo | 19:33 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, what do you think i should do ? | 19:33 |
| ikonia | erisch: fyi 192.168 addresses are non-routable so it doesn't matter if you share them with us | 19:33 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: your call totally | 19:33 |
| jonaskoelker | reepime: whata happens when you try? | 19:33 |
| Alex_Gaynor | soundray: Not really any more, and the laptop is warmer to the touch than when I first powered it on this morning | 19:33 |
| reepime | reepime is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 19:33 |
| joejc | any one know what would fix my problem with compiz and my drivers? | 19:33 |

| der|kunstler | ziroday, forcedeth module, nvidia MPC55 | 19:33 |

| der|kunstler | ziroday, let me get you the exact info | 19:34 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, ok, no problem | 19:34 |
| Gnea | joejc: what problem? | 19:34 |
| ikonia | erisch: where are you pinging it from | 19:34 |
| ghost3 | hi, my brothers are going to iraq at the beginning of next year. they are wanting to know if they could make a ubuntu recovery partiton on the laptops. cd's and sand do NOT get alone and the less they have to carry with them the better. I did a google search with no results. any help would be nice. | 19:34 |
| erisch | jonaskoelker: no internet in between, pc-router-pc, everything is in a local lan | 19:34 |
| Alex_Gaynor | soundray: ok thanks | 19:34 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: ah right, erm you can try rmmod the driver before you sleep and then modprobe it on wake | 19:34 |
| jonaskoelker | reepime: mine looks like this: http://rafb.net/p/7YkPau51.html | 19:34 |
| thebloggu | ikonia, do you know when you're coming back ? | 19:34 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, ah, that does the trick right ? coming back from sleep it does modprobe again ? | 19:35 |
| jonaskoelker | reepime: download it. Reboot your box; in grub, edit your kernel command line to say init=/bin/sh | 19:35 |
| erisch | ikonia: my current adress is 192.168.178.36, its a local area network | 19:35 |
| reepime | grub? | 19:35 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, I did rmmod after the wake though... | 19:35 |
| joejc | before i upgraded to 8.10 they worked fine but now when i install and reboot i get and error and need to use default graphics configuration | 19:35 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: hmm? For now manually I am saying rmmod the driver then go to sleep. When you wake up modprobe the driver again. If that works we can set it up to work automatically. If it doesn't we can try something else :) | 19:35 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, I try to run dhclient on the NIC, but the thing is it stays forever sending DHCP requests | 19:35 |
| tiyowan | thebloggu: Could you wait for ikonia to get off that train and onto a better connection? | 19:35 |
| jonaskoelker | reepime: [grub: two seconds] once linux has booted, type cp /home/reepime/sudoers /etc/sudoers; chown root:root /etc/sudoers; chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers; init 6 | 19:36 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, is there a script that runs on wake ?, like /etc/local but for wake ? | 19:36 |
| jonaskoelker | reepime: when you boot, "press ESC to enter boot menu" | 19:36 |

| Gnea | joejc: well, 173 is the one that supports your card. | 19:45 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, yeah, you both. I'll add a line to /etc/acpi/suspend.d/70-modules-unload.sh to remove the module on suspend, then I'll add another line to /etc/acpi/reload.d/35-modules-load.sh, to load the module on resume | 19:46 |
| Awsoonn_ | Gnea: I should note that lsusb says I have an 'analog devices' based product. but it's branded as ZOOM ADSL Series 0376 | 19:46 |
| joejc | ill tell u if it works after i reboot | 19:46 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: sounds good | 19:46 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, it's a BUG probably, module forcedeth is not safe to leave loaded on suspend. It must be removed from $MODULES_WHITELIST | 19:46 |
| Gnea | Awsoonn_: yeah, it doesn't matter what it says on the outside usually | 19:47 |
| soundray | der|kunstler: it might be more appropriate to make those settings in /etc/default/acpi-support | 19:47 |
| HairyDude | never mind, sources.list said hardy when it should have said intrepid | 19:47 |
| Gnea | joejc: sounds good | 19:47 |
| JuleTecki | Hi there, can anyone tell me why my /etc/networking/interfaces is read-only as root? 8.10 server | 19:47 |
| jeff008 | and whith the alternate i don't know how to have a consol tty | 19:47 |
| jeff008 | it the reason why i try to install hardy on lvm2 with the live cd ;) | 19:47 |
| der|kunstler | soundray, lemme check that file, I don't like hacking and breaking things :/ | 19:47 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: its possible, however different people have different mileage, plus the forcedeth driver is open source, or not? | 19:47 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, correct | 19:48 |
| der|kunstler | soundray, MODULES_WHITELIST is on that config, but it's empty, apparently the module is unloaded ?... maybe | 19:48 |
| Awsoonn_ | Gnea: I clicked the link to ueagle-atm as teh most obvious choice but the information there is only up to date for 7.04 | 19:48 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: then I would file a bug with the forcedeth maintainers saying that it doesn't play nice with suspend | 19:48 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, do you have info on how to get to them ? | 19:48 |
| shanenvy | How do I completely download something once the file is on my desktop? | 19:49 |
| natbet | how would I install a .patch file? It's a patch to fix some errors in synergy. | 19:49 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: not on me currently, I can try and find it if you would like? | 19:49 |
| der|kunstler | soundray, actually, there's something really neat on that config: "Add modules to this list to have them removed before suspend and reloaded" | 19:49 |
| Gnea | Awsoonn_: no, that should work just fine | 19:49 |
| ziroday | shanenvy: can you rephrase your question? | 19:49 |
| soundray | der|kunstler: :) | 19:50 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, that would be good. Are the bugs tracked through launchpad ? | 19:50 |
| Gnea | Awsoonn_: try it and see what happens - i bet you it works :) | 19:50 |
| nexus23 | my clock keeps changing | 19:50 |
| der|kunstler | soundray, heh! :P | 19:50 |
| shanenvy | The file is on my desktop, but it's not downloaded, what do I do? | 19:50 |
| nexus23 | i used tzselect to select my time zone | 19:50 |
| ijustam | where is Trash kept? | 19:50 |
| nexus23 | .Trash ijustam | 19:50 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: ubuntu bugs yes, forcedeth probably not | 19:50 |
| Gnea | !trash | ijustam | 19:50 |
| ubottu | ijustam: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 19:50 |
| der|kunstler | soundray, I think the only thing that is not already thought on ubuntu, is the key to understand women :P | 19:50 |
| ijustam | ubottu: ahh thx | 19:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ahh thx | 19:50 |
| der|kunstler | soundray, heh! must be in the docs someday :P | 19:51 |
| roozbeh | HI Guys | 19:51 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, got it | 19:51 |
| roozbeh | I have a problem | 19:51 |
| Gnea | !bot | ijustam | 19:51 |
| ubottu | ijustam: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 19:51 |
| shanenvy | ziroday: The file is on my desktop, but not downloaded, how do I download it? | 19:51 |
| roozbeh | _ruben: HI | 19:52 |
| ziroday | shanenvy: erm open up firefox, go to the downloads window and redownload it? | 19:52 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, another question... the config is lost on restart, if I set up static IP addresses on the network manager... | 19:52 |
| shanenvy | Whenever I download something it never works unless it's a terminal code. | 19:52 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: hmm it appears the forcedeth drivers are unmaintained, I would file the bug in launchpad for now | 19:52 |
| joejc | im back, it didnt work | 19:52 |
| bernier | Hi, is it normal that everytime I want to install nvidia drivers usung apt-get, apt tries to uninstall xserver-xorg? | 19:53 |
| ziroday | der|kunstler: and not sure about network manager. Sorry. | 19:53 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, ok, I will post a bug and see how can it be resolved | 19:53 |
| Foxkilo_ | Trying to get dual monitors to work on an old radeon 7000 and 8.1 Which drivers should I use? | 19:53 |
| Gnea | joejc: did you reconfigure X to point to nvidia? | 19:53 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, I think the networkmanager stuff was reported already | 19:53 |
| joejc | no | 19:53 |
| Gnea | joejc: okay, it won't work until you tell it to use it | 19:53 |
| joejc | ok | 19:53 |
| joejc | how do i? | 19:54 |
| JuleTecki | Hi there, can anyone tell me why my /etc/networking/interfaces is read-only as root? 8.10 server | 19:54 |
| Gnea | joejc: check System->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 19:54 |
| der|kunstler | ziroday, I'll reboot and see if it works, brb | 19:54 |

| ghost3 | hi, my brothers are going to iraq at the beginning of next year. they are wanting to know if they could make a ubuntu recovery partiton on the laptops. cd's and sand do NOT get alone and the less they have to carry with them the better. I did a google search with no results. any help would be nice. | 19:56 |
| aboSamoor1 | how can I apply fstab changes without restarting the server ? | 19:56 |
| Geomancer | Would anyone be willing to help me with my pptp connection problems? I've been working on it for a couple of weeks now. | 19:57 |
| joejc | gnea: after i go to hardware drives what do i do? | 19:57 |
| Gnea | joejc: do you see anything listed there? | 19:57 |
| trentor | Does anyone know of any problems running wine in ubuntu, whenever I click my install button nothing happens... | 19:57 |
| joejc | yes the the 173 witha green light next to it and the two other drivers | 19:58 |
| trentor | 173 nvidia driver? | 19:58 |
| Gnea | joejc: are the other 2 drivers nvidia or something else? | 19:59 |
| joejc | ghost3: you could install ubuntu on a external hd | 19:59 |
| joejc | nvidia | 19:59 |
| Gnea | trentor: depends on the program - not all of them work | 19:59 |
| ghost3 | joejc: what copying the alt install cd image and have grub boot the image. could I get it to do that? if so how would I go about doing that so they can reinstall? | 20:00 |
| Gnea | joejc: okay, clearly something is wrong then. please open a terminal and type this: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 20:00 |
| trentor | Gnea: The odd thing is that the install button does nothing, I've been having a lot of problems with buttons and itemsin ubuntu not working | 20:01 |
| aboSamoor1 | trentor: try running wine filename in terminal | 20:01 |
| Gnea | joejc: sorry... dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia | 20:01 |
| Slart | trentor: your install button? I can't remember a install button.. for wine? or for some program? | 20:01 |
| Gnea | trentor: which 'install' button, exactly? | 20:01 |
| trentor | For wine, I got to uninstall wine, then "Install.." button to install software. I am not really sure why it would have me go to the wine "uninstaller" to go to install my windows software. | 20:02 |
| donavan_ | is there any way to use the ctrl key like you would in windows ... as in I want to select multiple items by holding the ctrl key while clicking ? | 20:02 |
| trentor | And wine in the terminal can only run programs, it cannot install them to my knowledge | 20:02 |
| ziro`_ | how can one get a list of groups via cli? | 20:02 |
| Gnea | donavan_: yes, it 'just works' | 20:02 |
| joejc | gnea: this is what i got; ii nvidia-173-kernel-source 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu4 NVIDIA binary kernel module source | 20:02 |
| joejc | ii nvidia-173-modaliases 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu4 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive | 20:02 |

| Gnea | joejc: i recommend using pastebinit | 20:03 |
| Slart | trentor: oh... that's an odd way.. why not just run the windows installer file instead | 20:03 |
| Weems | when I tried to install nvidia: 180 I got this http://pastie.org/345094 | 20:03 |
| Gnea | joejc: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 20:03 |
| RobotCow | !tell joejc about pastebin | 20:03 |
| ubottu | joejc, please see my private message | 20:03 |
| donavan_ | Gnea: I wish that were the case ... is there something I can check to see what is going wrong ? | 20:03 |
| Gnea | donavan_: weird that it's not working right... are you using nautilus? | 20:03 |
| ghost3 | ok. better question. could I copy the ubuntu alt install cd image to its own partiton and add a grub menu option to boot and reinstall ubuntu? if so could someone give me some direction please? thanks | 20:03 |
| SantaCoz | hey guy we have a fellow with a unichrom video chipset that has the apparopriate driver already downloaded but needs someone to walk him through the installation ... the read me file is rather complex for a new user can anyone do that for him ? | 20:03 |
| trentor | slart: will linux recognize windows msi files along with the exe files? | 20:03 |
| Slart | trentor: have you tried? I'm not sure | 20:04 |
| The_Joe_ | trentor, Only with Wine or equivalent | 20:04 |
| trentor | I'm half tempted to try winelib after this :S | 20:04 |
| Gnea | lunchtime. | 20:04 |
| donavan_ | Gnea:it doesnt seem to work no matter what I am in even in virtualbox ... the key board works cause I can do a ctrl-alt-backspace and it works no problem | 20:05 |
| Slart | trentor: this page seems to offer some help.. http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_MSI | 20:05 |
| joejc | how does pastebinit work? | 20:05 |
| donavan_ | Gnea: and just for the record it doesnt not work in nautilus either | 20:05 |
| ziroday | joejc: try doing cat command | pastebinit | 20:06 |
| Slart | joejc: here's an example ... ls | pastebinit will send the output from ls to a pastebin and resturn the url | 20:06 |
| Gnea | joejc: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia > file.txt && cat file.txt | pastebinit && rm file.txt | 20:06 |
| Gnea | donavan_: works just fine here | 20:06 |
| Slart | joejc: cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit will copy the file /var/log/syslog to pastebin etc | 20:06 |
| Gnea | donavan_: perhaps your keybindings got caught up | 20:06 |
| Slart | joejc: cat itself just prints out a file | 20:06 |
| trentor | Does anyone have a helpful internet link as to understanding how linux installing works in comparrison to windows. I recently made the switch to linux and that is a main aspect I am struggling with. | 20:06 |
| donavan_ | Gnea: any idea how I check that | 20:07 |
| Slart | !install | 20:07 |

| Slart | bah.. wrong factoid | 20:07 |
| Flannel | trentor: What do you mean "linux installing"? Installing software? installing the whole OS? | 20:07 |
| trentor | installing software | 20:07 |
| Gnea | !keybinding | donavan_ | 20:07 |

| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 20:07 |
| Slart | trentor: most software in linux is installed by downloading something called a package awesomeprogram.deb, it very similar to a msi file in windows. | 20:07 |
| Flannel | !components | trentor | 20:08 |
| ubottu | trentor: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 20:08 |
| kb2wdi | \quit | 20:08 |
| Flannel | trentor: That one will discuss how the repositories work (first and second), this will give you an overview of the (more complicated/detailed) way of installing stuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 20:08 |
| Geomancer626 | Any suggestions at all on what to do about my vpn problems? I'm running a dd-wrt router as my gateway and if I'm actually connected to the dd-wrt then I have no problems with pptp. However, it doesn't work when connecting from another network. | 20:08 |
| Slart | trentor: there are several different package systems.. apt (used by debian and ubuntu) uses deb-packages, fedora/redhat uses .rpm packages.. suse has yet another one I think | 20:08 |
| Flannel | trentor: The easier way is through "add/remove programs", which is somewhat self explanatory (check what you want, install it) | 20:08 |
| joejc | gnea: http://pastebin.com/f42e6991e | 20:09 |
| Foxkilo_ | Trying to get dual monitors to work on an old radeon 7000 and 8.1 Which drivers should I use? | 20:09 |
| benedek | trentor: for Ubuntu, look for "debian packages" (ending: .deb), you can install most of them easily | 20:10 |

| Flannel | trentor: Of course, Synaptic is the same way (select what you want, hit apply, it installs), it just gives you the entire repositories to choose from, which means you'll en up seeing libraries, etc. | 20:10 |
| Flannel | !away > ElijahDuBarryVT | 20:10 |
| ubottu | ElijahDuBarryVT, please see my private message | 20:10 |
| Flannel | benedek, trentor: no, you don't need to go fishing around the internet for debs, check the repositories, it's probably there already. | 20:10 |
| benedek | trentor: also check the synaptic manager, it might have more packages | 20:11 |
| trentor | See, I've been having lots of mysterious problems with installing software. Like I installed EnvyNG because my nvidia card was not working with extra graphics, but yet I cannot find EnvyNG nor Wine on my add/remove programs even though they are installed. | 20:11 |
| Gnea | joejc: okay, you need to: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-177-modaliases nvidia-71-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases, reboot, make sure 173 is selected and is set to 'green', then pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (in that order) | 20:12 |
| benedek | trentor: how exactly did you install EnvyNG? | 20:12 |
| Flannel | trentor: Right, add/remove only shows you a small subset of the programs available. Use synaptic package manager to seeeverything | 20:12 |
| ziroday | trentor: on the drop down list did you select "All Applications"? | 20:12 |
| trentor | ziroday: yes | 20:12 |
| Slart | trentor: add/remove might only show you a selection of packages.. try running synaptic instead (system, administration, synaptic) | 20:12 |
| trentor | I installed envyNG through terminal, and I believe wine too, dont remember tho | 20:12 |
| Slart | trentor: does "sudo apt-get install wine" look familiar? | 20:13 |
| benedek | trentor: if you didn't install it through the package manager (apt-get or dpkg), then it won't be in the list of applications | 20:13 |
| zhobbs | I've installed the flash deb from adobe and have tried sym linking and copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/plugins and firefox still won't see it | 20:13 |
| trentor | i know what that command is :P I dont remember if I installed it through their .deb file, I think when i installed the deb file it threw an error then did sudo apt-get install wine | 20:13 |
| trentor | ah ok, thank you benedek | 20:14 |
| cousteau | weird, Firefox should be able to see Adobe Flash since the moment you installed it | 20:14 |
| ardchoille | Whoa, gthumb has a tool that creates very nice looking photo galleries for websites. I didn't know that existed :) | 20:14 |
| Flannel | trentor: It will show up in synaptic | 20:14 |
| cousteau | do you have another Flash version instaled? | 20:14 |
| benedek | trentor: no problem :) | 20:14 |
| iratik | Here it goes ... my cron broke when upgrading to ubuntu hardy from ubuntu dapper | 20:14 |
| trentor | see, even searching "wine" under all in synaptic it shows nothing | 20:14 |
| Flannel | trentor: Even if you just installed it manually (download the deb, and install it manually, and it'll still show up) | 20:15 |
| cousteau | zhobbs: do you already have another Flash installed? | 20:15 |
| zhobbs | Flannel, don't know...this is a fresh install | 20:15 |
| benedek | trentor: yeah, wine should be there | 20:15 |
| Flannel | trentor: Pastebin the output of `apt-cache policy wine` | 20:15 |
| fr500-work | hey | 20:15 |
| zhobbs | cousteau, this is a fresh install, so I didn't manually install it until I d/l'd the deb from adobe | 20:15 |
| * ElijahDuBarryVT is back (gone 00:05:15) | 20:15 | |
| joejc | restarting... | 20:15 |
| trentor | http://paste.ubuntu.com/91066/ | 20:16 |
| cousteau | zhobbs: if you open Firefox and go to Plugins, it should be a Shockwave plugin | 20:16 |
| zhobbs | cousteau, not there | 20:17 |
| Flannel | trentor: yeah. You installed it manually (download the deb, install the deb), but that should still show up in synaptic | 20:17 |
| cousteau | ... 32 bits or 64? | 20:17 |
| zhobbs | cousteau, 32 | 20:17 |
| trentor | Is it better to install programs in ubuntu through the terminal or manually | 20:17 |
| Flannel | trentor: also, if you want to use the winehq version, you should add the winehq repository, not just download individually | 20:17 |
| cousteau | did you restart Firefox after installing Flash? | 20:18 |
| Flannel | trentor: it doesn't matter. Terminal is easier for instruction over IRC, obviously | 20:18 |
| zhobbs | cousteau: yes, several times | 20:18 |
| benedek | I have a problem in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex; every time I start the system, Ubuntu sees the ethernet card as a "new" one, so it uses another eth name (instead of eth0). I'm at eth81 now and I have to reconfigure it every time I start the system. | 20:18 |
| Flannel | trentor: All of the apt frontends work with the same data, so you can switch back and forth at will, etc. It's a lovely thing ;) | 20:18 |
| cousteau | including ChatZilla, if you are using it? | 20:18 |
| trentor | It is, <3 linux | 20:18 |
| zhobbs | cousteau: not using Chatzilla | 20:18 |
| wos | hi. can anyone tell me how to install skype for i386 on a x86_64 system? | 20:18 |
| zhobbs | cousteau: checked to make sure firefox wasn't running in ps | 20:19 |
| trentor | This is the first time using linux it is not giving me a hard time, tried a lot in the past but only having success now, something must have changed in the last few years :P | 20:19 |
| zhobbs | cousteau: installing via: sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb | 20:20 |
| wos | hello. could anyone tell me how to install a i386 app on a 64 bit system? | 20:20 |

| RobotCow | yes | 20:21 |
| wos | THANKS | 20:21 |
| Gnea | joejc: any luck? | 20:21 |
| benedek | wos: there also appears to be instructions in the Ubuntu forums; google it | 20:21 |
| joejc | no | 20:22 |
| Gnea | joejc: got the xorg.conf ready? | 20:22 |
| joejc | one sec | 20:22 |
| zhobbs | ahh, there is output from the firefox command: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] | 20:23 |
| gnome_fan | hello avery one | 20:23 |

| RobotCow | cousteau, right click file in nautilus, properties, open with tab | 20:24 |
| alex_21 | I want to put Ubuntu on my phone, but I cant figure out if my phone is supported | 20:24 |
| joejc | how do i use pastbin? | 20:24 |
| RobotCow | alex_21, is there not an HCL? | 20:24 |
| cousteau | RobotCow: that's the problem, it doesn't affect gnome-open, only Nautilus | 20:24 |
| joejc | i thoight i got it but i dont | 20:24 |
| trentor | joe go to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 20:25 |
| cousteau | e.g. MP3's are open with Amarok from Nautilus, but with VLC from gnome-open | 20:25 |
| whyameye | cousteau: they are both the same user? (gnome-open and nautilus?) | 20:25 |
| cousteau | yes | 20:25 |

| nintendork32 | I'm trying to buold dosbox and it requires sdl 2.30 | 20:28 |
| RobotCow | alex_21, try searching your phone model on ubuntuforums.org | 20:28 |
| cwillu | Tim__Reichhart, #apache may be of more use, although a2enmod and a2dismod may be what you're after | 20:28 |
| cousteau | nintendork32: no idea; look for it here http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=sdl | 20:29 |
| cousteau | but dosbox is on repos | 20:29 |
| cwillu | Tim__Reichhart, debian, ubuntu, etc use a slightly non-standard config setup for apache (same file formats, but split up across files in a way that makes working with apt alot easier | 20:29 |
| benedek | nintendork32: you can look like this: apt-cache search libsdl | 20:29 |

| Quagmire | I'm embarrassed to ask this, but what is the best way to go about seeing if a certain factory built computer is ubuntu compatible? I had to shelve running ubuntu on my new Asus x83 laptop (no DVD support) and I've found a pretty decent deal on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop for around $400, but I need to find out if it is compatible. | 20:30 |

| manzur | have anyone in here got problem with metacity composite manager¿? | 20:30 |
| nintendork32 | Pici, it's not on the repositories | 20:30 |
| cwillu | manzur, more specific? | 20:30 |
| === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx | ||
| Slart | Quagmire: search the forums for the model/manufacturer.. or bring a live cd to a store that sells it | 20:30 |
| Pici | !info dosbox | 20:30 |
| cwillu | manzur, I usually just use xcompmgr directly (xcompmgr is embedded in metacity to provide compositing, but none of the options are exposed) | 20:30 |
| ubottu | dosbox (source: dosbox): A x86 emulator with Tandy/Herc/CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA graphics, sound and DOS. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.72-1.1build1 (intrepid), package size 654 kB, installed size 2120 kB | 20:30 |

| puzzola | ciao | 20:32 |
| cwillu | manzur, turn off the compositing option in gconf-editor, and install xcompmgr | 20:32 |
| cousteau | wos: you must download the package to a folder and then type "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture" and the name of the package | 20:32 |

| Pici | alex_21: The ubuntu mobile community is in #ubuntu-mobile, they may be able to help you more. | 20:35 |
| cwillu | manzur, this has no bearing on your problem. I've used in a several machines, although I've preferred to use xcompmgr to gain access to some fairly important options | 20:35 |
| === bonobo is now known as maverick_man | ||
| manzur | cwillu: what options for examnple | 20:35 |
| manzur | ? | 20:35 |
| Pici | manzur: Matacity is not a compositing window manager. Compiz is. | 20:36 |
| Pici | s/Matacity/Metacity/ | 20:36 |
| manzur | Pici: but it has one | 20:36 |
| cwillu | manzur, as I said, metacity's compositing manager _is_ xcompmgr, built internally. Which means you don't have access to any of the options which work around issues with particular cards, etc | 20:36 |
| cwillu | manzur, clientside vs server side is the big one | 20:36 |
| Quagmire | Slart One more thing ...how do I report a CD/DVD drive that is not compatible? I think it would be wrong to not let the powers that be know about my problem. | 20:36 |

| Adam-85 | Hi all | 20:37 |
| donavan_ | if I am using 8.04 and keep it updated is there any reason to upgrade to 8.10? | 20:37 |
| cwillu | Pici, metacity has an embedded version/fork of xcompmgr since 7.10. It's got all the buggyness of xcompmgr, without any of the options to work around them :p | 20:37 |
| Adam-85 | I new one at Ubuntu | 20:37 |
| Gnea | joejc: sorry, had to take a call. checking now | 20:37 |
| cwillu | manzur, for now, just run it in a terminal ('xcompmgr') | 20:38 |
| Pici | donavan_: If you don't want to, you don't have to. | 20:38 |
| Slart | Quagmire: you might need a launchpad account to be able to file the report.. but you'd need that anyways for reporting bugs and such | 20:38 |
| Adam-85 | and need some help , can anyone do that for me | 20:38 |
| dirki | hey guys what is the current ubuntu desktop os? | 20:38 |

| manzur | cwillu: ok | 20:41 |

| iso50 | Why is my Add/Remove Applications blank ? | 20:43 |
| Akiv1 | Anyone have any ideas? | 20:43 |
| manzur | cwillu: and metacity composite manager is abandoned as well¿? | 20:44 |
| championsleague | which is better linux or unix? | 20:44 |
| cwillu | manzur, and very little was done to fix any of those problems when it was included in metacity as its compositing mode (hence why it's not enabled by default, or exposed in any preferences page) | 20:44 |

| ubottu | championsleague: 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. | 20:55 |
| whyameye | Stanlin: envy, but I wouldn't recommend it for new ubuntu versions. | 20:55 |
| horstle | hi | 20:55 |
| Xitruz | Gnea: the thing is I ain't using "ipw" as the guide is referring to. :/ | 20:55 |
| cwillu | Devyll, make a new user via admin and log in, see if that's what you had in mind | 20:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | youknowme: what version of pidgin? | 20:55 |
| cwillu | Devyll, if so, you can clean up your other user by comparing the folders involved | 20:55 |
| Stanlin | whyameye: im using 64 bits Ubuntu 8.10... should i use the propietary drivers tested by developers?? | 20:55 |
| Gnea | joejc: weird.. okay, can you please: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit | 20:56 |
| Devyll | cwillu , already did that .. ist's working very slow ... | 20:56 |
| youknowme | IndyGunFreak: 2.5.2 | 20:56 |
| cwillu | Devyll, but if you've done lots of mucking about while learning, and just want everything cleaned up, just reinstalling might be an easier option | 20:56 |
| Gnea | Xitruz: well, you should, since that's what the C90S has... unless your lspci says otherwise | 20:56 |

| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:56 |
| whyameye | Stanlin: yes I use the proprietary drivers for 64 bit 8.04 nvidia. Works great. | 20:56 |
| benedek | Gnea: are there any criteria when the Network Manager sees an interface? It seems weird to me that I don't have to enter the password when I change something there | 20:57 |
| cwillu | Devyll, that you have conflicts in the package manager isn't a great sign. It can be cleaned up, (and would be a good learning experience), but's it's quite involved | 20:57 |

| IndyGunFreak | Crewsr3: thats really something to ask in #pidgin as its application specific... why not just use a real IRC client? | 20:58 |
| cwillu | Devyll, I _think_ you can just reinstall and resize the original partition. Either way, you might want to consider setting up a seperate partition for /home when you install, makes experimenting with different distros alot easier, reinstalls, etc | 20:58 |
| youknowme | IndyGunFreak: ANything else you could think of? | 20:58 |
| Adam-85 | I downloaded libc6_2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7_i386.deb and when install ask me for findutils | 20:58 |
| benedek | Gnea: Well, if I leave everything as it is, the network manager in Gnome sees eth81 as a wired network device. I can change its settings as a normal user (it doesn't prompt me for a password). | 20:58 |

| benedek | Gnea: So maybe it doesn't see my eth0, which I made by changing the udev rules, because I don't have the rights. Or I might be seeing this entirely wrong :-/ | 20:59 |
| Adam-85 | ok | 20:59 |
| Crewsr3 | IndyGunFreak, would you recommend having my IRC program load up that way? | 20:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Crewsr3: you can do that if you want, but, and this is strictly opinion, Pidgin is not a very good irc client | 20:59 |

| Stanlin | whyameye: works!! | 21:01 |
| benedek | Gnea: I already did that, but after a reboot, the Gnome Network Manager doesn't see it | 21:01 |
| johannes__ | lsashme what do I need to do? got to the folder and type sudo make uninstall Makefile ? | 21:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Crewsr3: its easy when you look through it... I've got xchat to open up 3 servers when I started it.. 2 servers have 2 channels, and 1 server has 3 channels.. its quite easy.. | 21:01 |
| benedek | Gnea: Only ifconfig. I can get into the intranet, but not the internet. | 21:01 |

| Stanlin | whyameye: thank you , i just moved from Vista 64 PenUltraUltimate... which sucked crashed all the time.... and im stable in Ubuntu again | 21:01 |
| cwillu | Adam-, that's nice. anyways, use synaptic on a machine with a net connection, select the packages you want to install (but don't apply), and then under file use 'generate a package download script', run the resulting file, and take _all_ of the downloaded files to the machine without a connection | 21:01 |
| lsashme | johannes__: I would think you would just type sudo make uninstall | 21:01 |
| Stanlin | what is better Vmware or Virtualbox?? | 21:02 |

| ubottu | adam-85: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:03 |
| Gnea | benedek: if i were you, backup your important files on there and reinstall 8.10 from scratch | 21:03 |

| riaal | I see, thanks lsashme | 21:07 |
| lsashme | riaal: that way I still have the original line, just inactive because of the # | 21:07 |
| benedek | maybe I'll try it one more time | 21:07 |

| JWFoxJr | cwillu: vmware seems dog slow - and I understand that I can run Windows under now....is this correct? | 21:08 |

| cwillu | Geomancer626, feel free to ping me if you ever have openvpn questions | 21:13 |
| * cwillu hints | 21:13 | |
| lsashme | Delvien: I'm actually clutching at straws at the moment, though! Never seen that before. | 21:13 |
| kudar | Gnea: the headers in /usr/src are not headers for my current kernLA | 21:13 |
| LTL | joejc: just a guess search opengl in synaptic or update manager of choice. | 21:14 |
| lsashme | Delvien: one other thing, you might like to check out the processor activity on the desktop while mounting the drive: Does it go into furious activity or just wait? | 21:14 |
| benedek | Gnea: Anyways, I appreciate the help, I'll try this one more time. | 21:15 |
| lsashme | Delvien: that would indicate whether some program is running to do some kind of useless automagic operation, or whether there is some unnecessary waiting going on. | 21:15 |
| cwillu | Delvien, is the other machine running windows? are you doing a clean unmount on windows before you reconnect it? | 21:15 |

| mrintegrity | I have an eee901 with ubuntu 8.10 and can't get the touchpad working, the fdi file modificatin doesnt do anything | 21:16 |
| lsashme | cwillu: nope, they're both debian, see his previous comments. | 21:16 |
| mrintegrity | ubuntu seems to ignore xorg.conf in 8.10 | 21:16 |
| cwillu | Delvien, (especially if you're using ext2/3 on it, as windows only has an ext2 driver, so you might be running a really long fsck every mount) | 21:16 |
| FoxKilo4 | I need Internet Explorer to access my Bank S/ware,Can't get it to run on Wine Any help Other than use Windoze? | 21:16 |
| riaal | as anyone manage to get the routing for pptpd vpn working? | 21:16 |
| riaal | has* | 21:16 |
| lsashme | cwillu: one is straight 8.10, other was upgraded from 8.04 | 21:16 |
| mrintegrity | FoxKilo4: use ies4linux script, works everytime | 21:16 |
| cwillu | Delvien, lsashme, sounds like dma isn't on | 21:16 |
| lsashme | cwillu: that could be a point! | 21:17 |
| lsashme | cwillu: what do we use to check that, hdparm? | 21:17 |
| cwillu | mrintegrity, mostly. Also, the syntax changed for some thing (much simpler, but different) | 21:17 |
| cwillu | lsashme, hdparm or sdparm | 21:17 |
| lsashme | cwillu: aah, OK. | 21:17 |
| cwillu | lsashme, /var/log/kern.log might be interesting too | 21:17 |
| mrintegrity | cwillu: how to set up shmconfig then? | 21:17 |
| lsashme | cwillu: good point! | 21:18 |
| FoxKilo4 | !mrintegrity Tks looks good will give it a go | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:18 |
| cwillu | mrintegrity, sorry, no idea (never used shmconfig) | 21:18 |
| cwillu | mrintegrity, module loading works the same way, but there may be xrandr support for synaptics touchpad config now (maybe?) | 21:18 |
| lsashme | cwillu: last time I had problems with dma was when I had misconfigured a kernel. Very slow drive throughput, but I don't remember slow mounting. | 21:18 |
| Quazion_ | Is feisty removed from the apt-get archives? | 21:19 |
| hallowname | anyone here want to test a shiny new plasmoid? openbrain.sf.net artificial intelligence on your desktop... still buggy... so not -that- intelligent... but intelligence none the less | 21:19 |
| cwillu | !feisty | 21:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. | 21:19 |
| === Kira is now known as Guest65942 | ||
| Quazion_ | hmm | 21:19 |
| cwillu | !eol | 21:19 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 21:19 |
| Quazion_ | i see | 21:19 |
| lsashme | RIP feisty. Will be missed. | 21:19 |
| * cwillu was quite fond actually | 21:19 | |
| Quazion_ | *ponders* someone how my apache stopped working on feisty | 21:20 |
| david38840 | Hi everyone | 21:20 |
| Quazion_ | can i try nd upgrade to gutsy? | 21:20 |
| cwillu | Quazion_, if you have a server that you want to be able to largely ignore for months/years at a time, you probably want to use one of the lts releases | 21:20 |
| lsashme | Delvien: sounds like your laptop takes a while to boot.... | 21:20 |
| cwillu | Quazion_, yep, should work | 21:20 |
| lsashme | !lts | 21:21 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 21:21 |
| cwillu | Quazion_, although I don't know off hand enough to walk you through it | 21:21 |

| david38840 | I'm having a problem since install my new printer HP Photosmart D5460. It's fine when printing normally, but when I ask it for special paper and photo quality it doesn't like it and I cant shut it down. When I reboot up comes an error and I had to reprogram Ubuntu. Does anyone know why please? | 21:22 |
| lsashme | energY_: Anagramarama is a bit tougher, but nice for two people to play together. | 21:22 |
| energY_ | I was thinking more like glob2 | 21:22 |
| wubrgamer | does anyone have a guide for setting up a headless printer server under ubuntu 8.10 ? | 21:22 |

| wubrgamer | i installed a barebones command line installation | 21:26 |
| wubrgamer | and then i installed ssh | 21:26 |
| wubrgamer | and THEN i installed cupsys | 21:26 |
| benedek | joejc: Ah, I don't know if that's possible, but it could be. KDE can do it... | 21:27 |
| theatrus | wubrgamer, change /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Listen parameter to just be :631 | 21:27 |
| FoxKilo4 | Xitruz Is your card listed in System-Admin-Hardware drivers? | 21:27 |
| alex_21 | lsashme: I need to do this as the alternative will cost me three hundred dollars plus a new phone | 21:27 |
| wubrgamer | theatrus: will that also fix the authentication stuff? | 21:27 |

| crazy2be | the message has a title of "Boot Loader", with varying messages | 21:33 |

| crazy2be | eg, the "check CD for defects" comes up with "check" | 21:34 |
| wubrgamer | theatrus: any ideas? | 21:34 |
| lsashme | david38840: apt-get update, and when that's done, if it still doesn't work, try apt-get -f install | 21:34 |
| david38840 | lsashem: I was using Intrepid, but had problems and a friend lent me the ubuntu 8.10 Desktop edition. Is this the full program as I am a bit lost | 21:34 |

| elninja | Odd-rationale, Not exactly what I'm looking for. | 21:36 |
| lsashme | Odd-rationale: not really. | 21:36 |
| cwillu | Xitruz, okay, what's the problem? | 21:36 |
| elninja | The one I'm looking for works through SSH, I believe. | 21:36 |
| lsashme | elninja: maybe ssh -X | 21:36 |
| benedek | YamiFrankc: You might try ndiswrapper if you haven't done so already. It uses Windows drivers. | 21:36 |
| LTL | wubrgamer: drop the secure socket address, e.g. http only | 21:36 |
| wubrgamer | LTL: how? | 21:36 |

| Odd-rationale | freenx uses ssh. | 21:37 |

| cwillu | elninja, my usual trick is to run the vnc server and viewer via ssh, the server as DISPLAY=:0, and the viewer just connecting to 127.0.0.1, and displaying over ssh -X :p | 21:39 |
| elninja | lsashme, That sounds familiar... lemme check and see if that was it | 21:39 |
| lsashme | david38840: that means it's updating libc6 (the C library) and it's doing what needs to be done to make it happen properly. | 21:39 |
| cwillu | elninja, ugly as all hell, but works | 21:39 |
| lsashme | cwillu: cute :-P | 21:39 |
| david38840 | lsashme: Thks. Do I have to wait or can I exit? | 21:39 |
| cwillu | elninja, use Xephyr, not xnest | 21:39 |
| Xitruz | cwillu: the wireless wont work :P | 21:39 |
| cwillu | elninja, Xehpyr has render accel | 21:39 |
| riaal | anyone know alot about routing in linux? | 21:39 |
| Xitruz | cwillu: good wxplanation xD | 21:39 |
| lsashme | david38840: Wait until it's done, and it gives you your prompt back. | 21:39 |
| cwillu | riaal, I do, but I'm in demand right now :p | 21:39 |
| ortsvorsteher | !routing | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about routing | 21:39 |
| ortsvorsteher | !route | 21:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about route | 21:40 |
| lsashme | david38840: I assume you're working in some kind of terminal, not in aptitude or synaptic? | 21:40 |
| cwillu | lsashme, like it? :) | 21:40 |
| elninja | cwillu, do you try to control the same X session as the local console? or why do you choose to use VNC? | 21:40 |
| ortsvorsteher | !net | 21:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about net | 21:40 |
| ortsvorsteher | !networking | 21:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about networking | 21:40 |
| cwillu | elninja, ya, I misunderstood what you wanted | 21:40 |
| Pici | !fishing | ortsvorsteher | 21:40 |
| ubottu | ortsvorsteher: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 21:40 |
| david38840 | lsashme: Yes in Terminal. The prompt is back so I will exit and have to restart the computer. Be back soon. Thks for yr help and assitance. its appreciated | 21:40 |
| wubrgamer | anyone with cups experience? | 21:40 |
| lsashme | cwillu: Hey, if it works, I guess. A bit heavy on the network maybe? | 21:40 |
| cwillu | elninja, use a Xephyr on your local box, and run apps in it via ssh | 21:40 |
| ortsvorsteher | Pici: :) | 21:40 |
| lsashme | david38840: cross thumbs... | 21:40 |
| elninja | Ah. Thanks for the help. | 21:40 |
| cwillu | lsashme, not terribly, no more than vnc itself is | 21:40 |
| riaal | cwillu: would you have any idea how to route a vpn tunnel? I have a working tunnel to the server, I want to terminate and route all trafic out different interface | 21:41 |
| lsashme | cwillu: I guess. But maybe xnest over ssh would be lighter? | 21:41 |
| cwillu | lsashme, vnc is more efficient that x | 21:41 |
| lsashme | cwillu: Oh, that's good news! | 21:41 |
| lsashme | cwillu: I plan to use it soon.... | 21:41 |

| nDevastator | !ESD | 21:49 |
| ubottu | esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead | 21:50 |
| david38840 | errr, sorry guys I am completely lost!!!! | 21:50 |
| crazy2be | guntbert: so the image is therefor fine | 21:50 |
| nDevastator | how come i can only have 1 sound channel at a time | 21:50 |
| nDevastator | what i gotta do to fix this | 21:50 |
| david38840 | lsashme: sudo what??? | 21:50 |
| lsashme | david38840: instead of apt-get install amsn, try sudo apt-get install amsn | 21:50 |
| cwillu | riaal, packet forwarding needs to be on in the kernel, and then you just be able to just add the correct routes between the interfaces (setting up the right gateways/routes on any others machines affected) | 21:50 |
| lsashme | david38840: sorry, I didn't finish my sentence because cwillu finished it for me ;-) | 21:50 |

| cwillu | !universe | 21:51 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 21:51 |

| agampher | !sudo make me a sandwich | 21:51 |

| david38840 | cwillu: Sorry I dont understand what you were trying to tell me . sorry | 21:51 |

| archman | if i have 2gb ram, will it make sense to increase swap from 500mb to 2gb? | 21:51 |

| lsashme | david38840: if it's already installed, you clearly have them installed! | 21:52 |
| riaal | cwillu: The only think I have done is setup the tunnel and verified that it worked, the guides out there doesn't seam to bother what happens to the traffic, will it terminate in the server by default? | 21:52 |
| cwillu | david38840, change it to "sudo apt-get something something" | 21:52 |

| thirdwheel | windows lets you do it in the control panel | 21:52 |

| joejc | is there a bluetooth program thats ez to install and allows me to acses all of my phone including the address book etc | 21:52 |
| ortsvorsteher | !gparted | 21:52 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 21:52 |
| lsashme | thirdwheel: will check.... | 21:52 |
| cwillu | riaal, so apps on the server would be able to use that network transparently, and hosts on the far network would be able to ping the server, etc | 21:52 |
| guntbert | crazy2be: yes, I see. I wouldn' expect that, but maybe xubuntu is different ;-) - no just kidding - got no more ideas - sorry | 21:53 |
| david38840 | lsashme: Now can you help me with this tab business for the names?? How does that work as I have been wondering for some time now | 21:53 |
| lsashme | thirdwheel: I'm sure it's in /proc/acpi somewhere. | 21:53 |
| cwillu | riaal, if the server is acting as a gateway, then it needs to be configured as such, in addition to anything vpn related | 21:53 |

| crazy2be | http://paste.ubuntu.com/91136/ | 21:53 |
| cwillu | riaal, there's lots of good guides to setting up linux as a gateway/router though, which I think should be all you need if you know how the things actually work and just don't know how to configure them on linux in particular | 21:54 |

| qwerty2008 | nDevastator, uninstall pulseaudio | 21:54 |

| crazy2be | i guess i'll post to the fourms then | 21:59 |

| benedek | chadeldridge: but I think Ubuntu depends on the exact ID of the drive, so reinstalling would be best | 22:30 |

| Slart | \kira: wall will send a message to all terminals, I think | 22:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | riaal: Have you tried using poptop? | 22:33 |
| LTL | david38840: install cupsys, then http://localhost:631 to configure. | 22:34 |
| benedek | \kira: set the DISPLAY environment variable to :0.0 and you can use zenity or anything similar | 22:34 |
| LTL | david38840: thats a good start, yes | 22:34 |
| Slart | \kira: I don't know of anything that will give you a popup-message though | 22:34 |
| benedek | worfed: I'm not experienced with hardware, but I think it's enough; swap should be as fast as possible, though | 22:34 |

| \kira | benedek: I tried zenity, but it returned a error saying it cannot open the display. It makes sense becaue Im routed through a machine with no active display | 22:35 |
| natbet | shane__: ndiswrapper -i *path to driver* | 22:35 |
| benedek | shane__: ndiswrapper -i file | 22:35 |
| tiyowan | Priswell: Yikes. My mistake. /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Sorry. I've been awake too long. | 22:35 |
| C0p3rn1c | wubrgamer: Linux has great performance and is more secure than winxp | 22:35 |
| Gnea | !ndiswrapper | 22:35 |
| Gnea | oops | 22:35 |
| LTL | david38840: i think so yes, search in synaptic for cups | 22:35 |
| benedek | shane__: don't forget to load the module (modprobe ndiswrapper or add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules) | 22:35 |
| CntryTousrTrout | Does anyone know how to fix movies played on youtube,hulu ect? | 22:35 |
| benedek | \kira: have you set DISPLAY via ssh? (don't use ssh -x) | 22:36 |

| \kira | benedek: it wouldnt work either way, ive tried something similar with firefox :( There is no display on the machine im connecting to before I connect to the other machine, so it returns a error | 22:37 |
| shane__ | when i try the path to driver it gives me no file found at usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219 | 22:37 |
| cwillu | Geomancer626, gotta set up bridge or routing on the machine, there's lots of guides around for that on a linux machine | 22:37 |
| CntryTousrTrout | c0p3rnlc: yes movies have no sound and they are wayyyyyyyyyy choppy and keep refreshing like a bad connection.. Normal web operations have sound just not streaming/ or flash movies. | 22:37 |
| LTL | wubrgamer: gotta run, best o luck | 22:37 |

| CheesyWe1sel | Ever since i upgraded to hardy, fn+f2 displays my battery info. its nice, but i dont want it on fn+f2. how do i change it? | 22:37 |
| david38840 | LTL: Thks. I checked and there are quite a few cups already installed. | 22:37 |
| natbet | shane__: how did you install ndiswrapper? | 22:37 |
| benedek | \kira: so there's no X running there? | 22:37 |
| cwillu | Geomancer626, it's not specific to open, openvpn just gives you a tap device that you do what you want with | 22:37 |
| tiyowan | Gnea: ubottu | 22:37 |
| shane__ | from install disk | 22:37 |
| shane__ | with synaptec | 22:37 |

| natbet | shane__: apt-get install ndiswrapper-1.9? | 22:37 |
| \kira | benedek: no, its a server and I dont really need it to run. It would just slow down my clients, and there is 15 of them at the moment, so I cant really just turn it on for a short second | 22:38 |
| david38840 | LTL: What was this about localhost: 631??? Any help pease | 22:38 |
| shane__ | it tells me that 1.9 is the newest | 22:38 |
| natbet | shane__: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 I mean | 22:38 |
| Gnea | david38840: open your browser, go to: http://localhost:631/ to configure your printer | 22:38 |
| onats_ | anyone know of a video compression tool for ubuntu/linux? | 22:38 |
| C0p3rn1c | CntryTousrTrout: maybe it's a overlay problem? But I can't help you with the sound problem. | 22:38 |
| Gnea | onats_: ffmpeg | 22:38 |
| Geomancer626 | cwillu: Oh, I think I get it. I'll try to look around for how to set up bridge or routing. | 22:38 |
| CntryTousrTrout | Yeah no one seems to know here | 22:39 |
| CntryTousrTrout | and it's basic I know it is | 22:39 |
| onats_ | Gnea, thanks | 22:39 |
| david38840 | Gnea: Thks a lot. Ive done that and will give it a try. Hope I have better luck this time round. Thks again | 22:39 |
| manzur | can we set nautilus to full screen¿? | 22:39 |
| bazhang | CntryTousrTrout, you need to give more info | 22:39 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: what is? | 22:39 |
| manzur | cwillu: can we | 22:39 |
| CntryTousrTrout | bazhang like how much more info? | 22:39 |
| tiyowan | CntryTousrTrout: What seems to be the problem? | 22:39 |
| shane__ | natbet, yes it is installed i did it with synaptec and when i sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 it tells me that ndiswrapper 1.9 is the newest | 22:39 |
| natbet | hmm | 22:39 |
| CntryTousrTrout | sound doesn't play on youtube or hulu movies, and the pictures is super choppy and keeps refreshing every 2 sec. | 22:39 |
| manzur | can we set nautilus to full screen¿? | 22:39 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: probably because pulseaudio has hogged your sound device | 22:40 |
| tiyowan | CntryTousrTrout: Sounds like flash/pulseaudio. | 22:40 |
| bazhang | CntryTousrTrout, what video card, driver and how installed, are you running compiz, does the problem persist with compiz disabled, what version of ubuntu, what version of flash and how installed | 22:40 |
| shane__ | ill try and run the path again and see if i can get it | 22:40 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: well sound on plain audio works like pronuciations on dictionary sites | 22:40 |
| CntryTousrTrout | its just movies on the web | 22:40 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: that's different | 22:40 |
| bazhang | CntryTousrTrout, then its flash | 22:40 |
| CntryTousrTrout | tiyowan: I thought it was flash too, but I have flash 10 installed | 22:40 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: it doesn't matter - flash and pulseaudio simply do not get along | 22:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | \kira: Have you investigated xipmsg or gipmsg ? | 22:41 |
| tiyowan | CntryTousrTrout: That fact is irrelevant. | 22:41 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: what is pulseaudio and should I uninstall it? | 22:41 |
| chipt4 | situation: i have a directory with about 15 gzip files, with tar files inside.. is there a quick way to decompress them all without typing gzip -d [filename] then tar -xf [filename] for each file? | 22:41 |
| manzur | cwillu: can we set nautilus to full screen¿? | 22:41 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: you can try changing the default outs in System-Preferences->Sound to all point to ALSA and restart firefox | 22:41 |
| \kira | IntuitiveNipple: no, ill look into them | 22:41 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: pulseaudio is the root of all that is evil. | 22:41 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: well I use hdmi to my lcd tv | 22:42 |
| manzur | \kira: can we set nautilus to full screen¿? | 22:42 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: that shouldn't matter... at least it looks nice :) | 22:42 |
| benedek | chipt4: maybe tar xzf *.tar.gz ? | 22:42 |
| bazhang | CntryTousrTrout, not important here | 22:42 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: so how can I get rid of pulseaudio? or do I need it | 22:42 |
| bazhang | manzur, dont repeat | 22:42 |
| CntryTousrTrout | no I mean I use hdmi as sound also | 22:42 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: well try the ALSA thing i suggested first and see if that helps or not.. it sometimes does | 22:42 |
| david38840 | Gnea: I opened the localhost CUPS, but I couldnt find my pritner on it | 22:42 |
| C0p3rn1c | Gnea: is pulsaudio default ? | 22:42 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ok brb | 22:42 |
| Gnea | C0p3rn1c: these days, yes | 22:42 |
| CntryTousrTrout | thx guys btw | 22:42 |

| levidos | HLEP! my keypad buttons are moving the mouse... i have no clue how did i activate this and how to disable it :P | 22:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CntryTousrTrout: All, see the very useful PulseAudio guide in forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 | 22:42 |
| Gnea | david38840: perhaps it's not installed | 22:43 |
| manzur | bazhang: can we? | 22:43 |
| levidos | numpad | 22:43 |
| praet | levidos: disable mouse keys | 22:43 |
| \kira | manzur: I dont know what nautilus is. Im logged in via ssh through a machine with no X server running and into a machine im trying to send a graphical message | 22:43 |
| bazhang | manzur, wait 5 or 10 minutes between questions | 22:43 |
| Gnea | !patience | manzur | 22:43 |
| Gnea | argh! | 22:43 |
| bazhang | heh | 22:43 |
| C0p3rn1c | Gnea: but it's the only sound system that supports serving sound to multiple programs at the same time ? | 22:43 |

| praet | levidos: Keyboard accessibility | 22:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tiyowan: There's others like how to do 8.1 sound config really easily | 22:44 |
| benedek | chipt4: does that work? | 22:44 |
| CntryTousrTrout | Gnea: okay they all say HDA NVidia NVIDIA HDMI (ALSA). i remember I changed them to that for hdmi sound to work.. remember ive had linux 4 days now so I'm ignorant.. | 22:44 |
| C0p3rn1c | Gnea: eh, I don't think it's decent, just asking you if it's so :) | 22:44 |
| levidos | thanx praet | 22:44 |
| Gnea | C0p3rn1c: 9 out of 10 people come in here with sound problems. 9 out of 9 times, turning off pulseaudio and/or removing it solves the problem. | 22:44 |
| onats_ | !iphone | 22:44 |
| chipt4 | benedek: no, it's saying Not found in archive | 22:45 |
| bazhang | onats_, you need to jailbreak the phone | 22:45 |

| onats_ | bazhang, yeah i've jailbroken and unlocked the phone | 22:45 |
| C0p3rn1c | Gnea: is there an alternative sound system that supports supplying sound services to multiple programs at the same time? | 22:45 |
| benedek | chipt4: Ah, do for i in *.tar.gz ; do tar xzf $i; done | 22:45 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: ha, that's cool. give firefox a reboot and see how it sounds | 22:45 |

| chipt4 | oh | 22:48 |
| chipt4 | word | 22:48 |

| mirak | hspaans: yes but its more transparent and automtic | 22:52 |
| chipt4 | nice thx | 22:52 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: that makes little sense, considering that the HDMI cable itself only carries video signal - your audio signal is going through a different wire, regardless of the fact that it's labeled 'HDMI' | 22:52 |
| david38840 | Gnea: OK I will try again and see what happens. Hope the system doesnt go down again. See you later!!! | 22:53 |
| C0p3rn1c | wb ubottu | 22:53 |
| bazhang | tonon, you have the wine repos? why do you need that version? | 22:53 |
| mirak | benedek: not its a software suit. you then see all the partitions of the image in /dev/ | 22:53 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: and keep in mind my music plays fine, my movies on hd plays fine, normal sounds on web sound fine.. Just streaming video/ flash video | 22:53 |

| tonon | bazhang it has the fix for a problem instaling world of warcraft | 22:53 |
| NotADJ | Does anyone here segfault after changing acct settings in evolution? | 22:54 |
| austin | can anyone help me? | 22:54 |
| bazhang | tonon, current version of wine runs wow fine | 22:54 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: maybe have 2 wires inside main wire, but it still hdmi sound quality from hdmi cable. | 22:54 |
| bazhang | austin, emerald? | 22:54 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: well, however you've got it rigged, were you able to get everytyhing pointed to use ALSA? and did you restart firefox? | 22:54 |
| tonon | yes bazhang i here it does, but when trying to instal from a cd it does not alow me to acept the end users agreement] | 22:54 |
| claudio | i need to know for one asus a6r with ram 192 mb wich ubuntu is ok? | 22:55 |
| CntryTousrTrout | Gnea: I didn't change it because they all are on alsa hdmi already.. | 22:55 |
| bazhang | claudio, xubuntu perhaps or fluxbuntu | 22:55 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: so if you restart firefox and head over to youtube or hulu, is there any difference? | 22:55 |
| sikun | i have a laptop which the processor is running at 160 degrees.. is that too hot? | 22:56 |
| claudio | but i try to use xubuntu but the screen when start the install is black... | 22:56 |
| mirak | hspaans: its related to evms device mapper lvm and such | 22:56 |
| Geomancer626 | How to I route my openvpn tap device on a windows box to get an internet connection? | 22:56 |
| tonon | does anyone know how to upgrade wine to version 1.1.11 | 22:56 |
| claudio | i try also with 32 bit | 22:56 |
| Gnea | Geomancer626: you'd have to ask in #openvpn and/or #windows | 22:56 |
| tiyowan | sikun: Um. 160F, right? | 22:56 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: No, because what I had set up was same b4 I needed help :(. Unfortunately I didn't have to change anything cause what you wanted me to do is how I already had it set up in first place. | 22:57 |
| nellery_ | what is the name of the panel applet which shows your taskbar applications, such as pidgin? | 22:57 |
| sikun | tiyowan: yes | 22:57 |
| bazhang | tonon, yes. enable the wine repos after adding them to sources.list | 22:57 |
| frostburn | anyone here use gnome-do? if so have you had any success with using mailing to evolution contacts? | 22:57 |
| nandemonai | nellery_: notification area :) | 22:57 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: then open up a terminal and type: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop | 22:57 |
| tonon | bazhang can you walk me through that? | 22:57 |
| nellery_ | nandemonai: ah, there we go. Thanks a lot | 22:57 |
| nandemonai | nellery_: No worries. | 22:58 |
| quentusrex23 | Help!!! I have a server with 3 hard drives, one small and two large. The one small one died which had the OS installed, and the other two had LVM mounted for them both. How do I 'remount' the LVM drives? | 22:58 |
| sikun | tiyowan: yeah, its 160 degrees F | 22:58 |
| tiyowan | sikun: That's 71C. Very dangerous. I'm surprised it is running at all. | 22:58 |
| bazhang | tonon, its quite simple; add the repository via directly editing the sources.list or via synaptic package manager | 22:58 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: done | 22:58 |
| sikun | oh wow | 22:58 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: now what? | 22:58 |
| sikun | hmm.. well i'm gonna power it down | 22:58 |
| sikun | lol | 22:58 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: okay, now what number does it give you: ps axf | grep pulseaudio | wc -l | 22:59 |
| claudio | bazhang but for you flexubuntu is sure work in my laptop? | 22:59 |
| tiyowan | sikun: Is it a laptop or a desktop? | 22:59 |
| sikun | laptop | 22:59 |
| sikun | its now 61 C | 22:59 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: 3 | 22:59 |
| david38840 | Gnea: No luck. I tried to print what I wanted but its tellling me my printer isnt connected and it is? | 22:59 |
| tiyowan | sikun: Touch it from underneath. Feel hot? | 22:59 |
| bazhang | claudio, no guarantees, you may wish to try the alternate installer then add a light window manager like flux, xfce, lxde or the like | 22:59 |
| austin | i have a question about Emeralad | 22:59 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: i see... sudo killall -9 pulseaudio && ps axf | grep pulseaudio | wc -l any difference? | 23:00 |
| claudio | i understand | 23:00 |
| mirak | hspaans benedek . I found it, its called multipath-tools | 23:00 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: difference in what the number? | 23:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonon: bazhang: Win 1.1.11 isn't in the winehq repos as yet | 23:00 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: 1 now | 23:00 |
| Gnea | david38840: you forgot a step: Help->About | 23:00 |
| sikun | tiyowan: no, its just a little warm | 23:00 |
| benedek | mirak: Cool | 23:00 |
| kerik | hey guys | 23:01 |
| tonon | bazhang i am trying to upgrade to the development version, synaptic manager cant help me | 23:01 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: good. restart firefox, again, and see how youtube/hulu work | 23:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonon: bazhang: check the repo for the 1.1.11 files http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/ | 23:01 |
| bazhang | tonon, no need for that | 23:01 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ok | 23:01 |
| bazhang | IntuitiveNipple, you can directly address tonon | 23:01 |
| tiyowan | sikun: Hmm...I'd suggest you go to BIOS and check the readings on the CPU fan sensors from there. Because if your box gets this hot, someday it's going to fry itself. Maybe one of your fans isn't working. | 23:01 |
| kerik | anybody know how to make Ubuntu accept the fact that I have a nVidia 6600go video card? I have seen a guide online, but it seems like it won't work for me... | 23:01 |
| david38840 | Gnea: I did this and it said eye of Gnome 2.24.1 does that help at all? | 23:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bazhang: I was making sure you both knew, since you were recommending tonon uses the repo | 23:02 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: it's important to restart firefox because it still thinks it's being routed through pulseaudio, which isn't there anymore - it's not smart enough to figure it out on its own so you have to baby it a little | 23:02 |
| tonon | i have the tar.bz2 file downloaded how do i upgrade to it | 23:02 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: I had no idea really what we just did, but no it didn't work :( | 23:02 |
| bazhang | IntuitiveNipple, actually I was recommending he dont, but he insisted | 23:02 |
| sikun | tiyowan: well i just got this laptop, but in the bios there are no options for anything dealing with cooling i have already checked.. | 23:02 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: Yeah I had firefox closed and just opened it up.. | 23:02 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: okay, let's try 2 more things... first of all: sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove | 23:03 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: second, logout then log back in | 23:03 |
| ballzee | i just added a new motherboard now i cant get my system toe anyone know why ? boot unless i use the disk to boot the sda driv | 23:03 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: OK | 23:03 |
| quentusrex23 | Help!!! I have a server with 3 hard drives, one small and two large. The one small one died which had the OS installed, and the other two had LVM mounted for them both. How do I 'remount' the LVM drives? | 23:03 |
| markl_ | crap, i broke the /etc/group file on a remote box and now i can't sudo. is there a good exploit on 8.04 to edit root-owned files? | 23:03 |
| kerik | anybody who know what kind of driver I can use for zepto znote6515 monitor? | 23:03 |
| tiyowan | sikun: Then I suggest you g et it checked out by a 'tech. Seriously. 71C is way too hot. | 23:03 |
| sikun | hmm | 23:03 |
| sikun | kk | 23:04 |
| sikun | thanks for the help | 23:04 |
| mib_b4wqxm | hey guys | 23:04 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ok, but really quick did I just remove pseudo compelete by that command? | 23:04 |
| benedek | markl_: you can always use a LiveCD to get to all the files | 23:04 |
| austin | HELP | 23:04 |
| mib_b4wqxm | i was trying to install some cool effects on ubuntu | 23:04 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: nah, you just prevented it from starting up when the system boots | 23:04 |
| mib_b4wqxm | i can't seem to install any themes | 23:04 |
| austin | me either | 23:04 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ok thought so, i thought u couldnt remove it from that web site.. brb | 23:04 |
| relik77080 | hi - i found out my wireless card is disabled.... its a Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG | 23:05 |
| relik77080 | some please help | 23:05 |
| relik77080 | i've searched google but I dont understand what to do | 23:05 |
| kerik | please help guys....how to make a nvidia geforce 6600go work in ubuntu? | 23:05 |
| Gnea | relik77080: is it on a laptop? | 23:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonon: If you have the source-code you'd need to build it, which implies knowing quite a bit about how to build for the Ubuntu platform too. I suspect that may be beyond your current capabilities. I recommend waiting for 1.1.11 to be provided for Ubuntu in the Wine repository | 23:05 |
| tiyowan | relik77080: Go to a terminal and type ifconfig. Do you see wlan0 as UP? | 23:05 |
| Gnea | !nvidia | kerik | 23:05 |
| ubottu | kerik: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:05 |
| Gnea | relik77080: is there a little switch to slide on the side of the laptop, or a FN+F4 key combo? | 23:06 |
| tiyowan | kerik: Well, what seems to be the problem? Is you system booting? Are you having display problems? Do you need the install the drivers? Please provide more details. | 23:06 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ok back, now u want me to try it? | 23:06 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: yeah | 23:07 |
| markl_ | benedek: unfortunately it is remote; I am hoping to find some kind of exploit so I don't have to drive down there :) this makes me wish I had used Solaris, I always seem to be able to find sploits for that | 23:07 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: nothing man | 23:08 |
| axod | anyone point me to a howto guide for setting up apple bluetooth keyboard+mouse on ubuntu? | 23:08 |
| scientes_ | where do "i dont know" bugs get assigned to | 23:09 |
| scientes_ | i need to move a bug to that "project" | 23:10 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: any other ideas :( | 23:10 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: what's the video like? is it choppy or smooth? | 23:10 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: its like shit lol | 23:10 |

| hlfshell | Does anyone have any clue what is going on? | 23:10 |
| bazhang | CntryTousrTrout, please watch the language | 23:10 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: choppy, and it keeps refreshing like im on dialup | 23:10 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: please don't talk that way here, it's unappreciative | 23:10 |
| CntryTousrTrout | bazhang: sorry | 23:10 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: sorry | 23:10 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: okay, do you remember what the packagename of flash that you installed? | 23:11 |
| orangey | hey all. | 23:11 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: mm all I know is I think I went to flash site I think | 23:11 |
| orangey | I realize this is a bit off-topic, but what's everybody's favourite flickr replacement? | 23:11 |
| relik77080 | hi - i have an intel pro wireless 3945abg - and for some reason it wont work. Can someone provide some guidance please | 23:12 |
| bazhang | orangey, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:12 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: then that's probably the source of the problem - installing from the site instead of from the ubuntu repo will mess things up | 23:12 |
| orangey | bazhang: thanks! | 23:12 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: do you recall if you installed it system-wide or in your homedir? | 23:12 |
| cousteau | "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot"... and about 3 minutes waiting | 23:13 |

| tiyowan | relik77080: Is your wireless card switched on? As in do you see the Wi-fi light? | 23:14 |
| relik77080 | the light doesnt come on at all | 23:14 |
| lab-1 | hlfshell : use apt-get and apt-cache search | 23:14 |
| cousteau | maybe I need to profile my boot? | 23:15 |
| austin | i have a question about emerald | 23:15 |
| hlfshell | lab-1 - shouldnt it be installed by default though? | 23:15 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: alright, run this command: locate libflashplayer.so | 23:15 |
| lab-1 | hlfshell : type apt-cache search debug |grep python | 23:15 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: if it helps I issued a command like dpkg --install [filename].deb | 23:15 |
| tiyowan | relik77080: Do you have windows on your system as well? | 23:16 |
| lab-1 | hlfshell : see the corresponding package (for example xxxx) | 23:16 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so | 23:16 |
| relik77080 | tiyowan: i ran lshw and it says wireless network DISABLED - but i've tried toggling the front mounted switch - doesnt help...... tiyowan yes i have xp as a dual boot | 23:16 |
| lab-1 | hlfshell : and type apt-get install xxxx in root shell | 23:16 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: in that case, run this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flash | 23:16 |
| hlfshell | i know that lab-1 - my question is more along the lines of shouldnt the debug module come with ubuntu set up already? | 23:16 |
| tiyowan | relik77080: Does the wi-fi work from windows? | 23:16 |
| relik77080 | tiyowan: yes it did - but i recently formatted windows and havent reinstalled | 23:17 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.12.36-1hardy1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 | 23:17 |

| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: bingo. sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin then, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 23:17 |
| lab-1 | hlfshell : i don't know, maybe you should check the ubuntu website | 23:17 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ahh did it install flash for hardy not intrepid? | 23:18 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: looks like it - but flashplugin-nonfree is fully supported, so it should work after this | 23:18 |
| Gnea | *should* | 23:19 |

| chadeldridge | I have more questions about cloning my disk to a new sdd. Basically my home is already split out to its own partition .. would it be better to just reinstall ubuntu on the new ssd and use my current files in /home .. how would i transfer my current home to the new disk ? | 23:21 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: nope still nothing :(((( | 23:21 |
| tiyowan | relik77080: Do you see a line beginning with "Network controller" when you run lspci? | 23:21 |

| bazhang | Mallen_, sudo apt-get install packagename | 23:22 |
| deadamerican | mallen just kidding bro | 23:23 |
| lab-1 | kerik : have you tried to do so with the monitor ? | 23:23 |

| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: and you restarted firefox? | 23:23 |
| masom | Hi, i'm currently installing ubuntu 8.10 server edition and I was wondering why it is installing gimp-help-common, openoffice-comon/thesaurus and other language specific applications. it seems it is because of language-support-writing-en but i don't understand why it is being installed on a LAMP + Virtualization server o_O | 23:23 |
| relik77080 | are u sure? because i heard that some people's wifi light wouldnt come on - but the card was still enabled | 23:23 |

| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: ok | 23:24 |
| kerik | calc: Is that the line I should put in Terminal? - it doesn't seem to work? | 23:24 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: you should have a list of plugins listed that firefox uses... one should say Shockwave Flash... | 23:24 |
| calc | kerik: yea | 23:24 |
| bazhang | relik77080, how many entries in ifconfig and what are they | 23:25 |

| kerik | calc: yeah...it just doesn't seem to work for me...just skips to next line... | 23:25 |
| klikklak | right, I think I'll take a peek at bugzilla | 23:25 |
| kerik | hmm...well...I guess I am using a binary driver... | 23:25 |
| calc | kerik: can you view the file eg less /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 23:25 |

| calc | DarkWaterSyntax: should be installed by default afaict | 23:28 |
| calc | DarkWaterSyntax: try typing g++ at the terminal | 23:28 |

| kerik | calc: me neither...could it be because I wanna use a binary driver? | 23:30 |
| cousteau | Pici's right, it's "build-essential", without an S | 23:30 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: okay, i didn't know there was an update, so I have r15 now too... and it's working just fine | 23:30 |
| tiyowan | Priswell: Hmm...could you try an experiment for me? Put it in the LiveCD and click on Try Ubuntu. Does that get you to the desktop ok? | 23:30 |
| calc | kerik: well it might not find any instances of EDID in the log file if you aren't using a regular driver | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Turtle2 Here are the basics.. assuming your video card is setup correctlky | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse | 23:31 |
| calc | kerik: i don't really know since i try to stay away from binary only drivers since they are generally really buggy | 23:31 |
| relik77080 | ffs :S is there anyone who can help diagnose if i have a hardware or software problem | 23:31 |
| kerik | calc: How do I make it use a regular driver? | 23:31 |
| Priswell | tiyowan: I've already tried the live cd. I can tell you that I get the same result. | 23:31 |
| Priswell | I installed it using the alternate cd | 23:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Mallen_ Who are you talking to. | 23:32 |
| calc | kerik: oh the solution for that is to avoid Nvidia like the plague ;-) | 23:32 |
| calc | kerik: since Nvidia is very open source unfriendly | 23:32 |
| * calc gone now | 23:32 | |
| kerik | calc: great thing that I have my card then :) | 23:32 |
| Mallen_ | Lol, someone cursed up | 23:32 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: package manager | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kerik it usually has more to do with monitor res not getting detected, than the video card/driver | 23:33 |
| kerik | anybody who can help me get my geforce 6600go to work in 1280x800 resulution? | 23:33 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: so what do ya need me to do? | 23:33 |

| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: or are u just saying I got the newest one and u didn't know about it | 23:33 |
| kerik | Jack_Sparrow: hey Jack ...long time no see....have you got any idea on how I can make it find a compatible driver for my monitor then? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | kerik: monitors don't have drivers | 23:33 |
| tiyowan | Priswell: Ok. I need you to pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file please. | 23:34 |
| kerik | ikonia: ok...howcome there are a choice between 200X different monitors in the monitor setup? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | kerik: just definitions of the monitors capabiities | 23:34 |
| Darknezz_ | loufoque: gcc??? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | kerik: and what monitor setup is this ? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | kerik: as in what tool is asking you | 23:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kerik I usually try generic lcd settings.. I can paste a sample xorg that I have used to get some results.. | 23:35 |
| kerik | Jack_Sparrow: would be awesome | 23:35 |
| nacho_ | where do themes are stored? | 23:35 |

| kerik | ikonia: when I'm rebooting for trying to make the comp use another driver for my video card...here I can choose which monitor I have....the thing is that I don't know the manufacturer... | 23:36 |

| kerik | ikonia: it's a laptop... | 23:36 |
| AndreasMadrid | HELP! i can't get my microphone to work und ubuntu | 23:36 |
| AndreasMadrid | what can i do? | 23:36 |
| Priswell | tiyowan: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is blank | 23:37 |
| ikonia | kerik: it doesn't just ask you to do this on it's own, you have to select something that asks you | 23:37 |
| ikonia | kerik: what tool are you using | 23:37 |
| kerik | ikonia: I'm not really sure...it's just one that pops up when I reboot after setting the driver I wanna use | 23:37 |
| ikonia | kerik: how did you select the driver you want to use, what tool ? | 23:37 |
| kerik | ikonia: true....I use the system-->admin--> hardware... | 23:37 |
| ikonia | kerik: so you enabled the nvidia driver ? | 23:37 |
| AndreasMadrid | Anybody can help me? | 23:37 |
| kerik | ikonia: if that's what you asked, then yeah :) | 23:38 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: i could not find workaround on that link | 23:38 |
| ikonia | kerik: no, I'm asking you | 23:38 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: I just tried something man, I plugged in headphones to front jack of pc, youtube works through it. Although video still skippy and doesn't play right.. So I guess it's a hdmi problem I dunno... right now its playing on head phones but not my tv through hdmi | 23:38 |
| bazhang | relik77080, hang on a second | 23:38 |
| kerik | ikonia: yeah I know...and that's what I did... | 23:38 |
| tiyowan | Priswell: Okay. Please run "X -configure" and tell me what it says. | 23:38 |
| ikonia | kerik: that shouldn't ask you for monitor configuration on reboot | 23:38 |
| bazhang | linux-restricted-modules-common relik77080 | 23:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kerik which nvidia? | 23:39 |

| mann26 | anyone can help me | 23:39 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: so if i install that - it should be solved? | 23:39 |
| kurrata | hi, i was wondering if i can somehow make user account without password in ubuntu since now it says i need 6 char pass when i try to make it | 23:40 |
| bazhang | relik77080, there is another option if that fails but try that first | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kerik I have 3 6600's here, mostly still on gutsy or hardy, but still many similarities when it comes to forcing the res. | 23:40 |
| mann26 | after installation i cann not find my partition frow ubuntu explorer "place" | 23:40 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: its already installed | 23:40 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: should i remove and reinstall?? | 23:40 |
| kerik | ikonia: the thing is that when I have made the enable of the driver it tells me to reboot...when I do so I can choose the resolution and all that....but as my monitor is a wide screen 1280x800 and I'm only capable of choosing 800x600 it kinda sucks | 23:40 |
| ikonia | kerik: on reboot it should not ask you to configure a monitor | 23:41 |
| bazhang | relik77080, the other option is to enable intrepid backports | 23:41 |
| kerik | Jack_Sparrow: it's always a puzzle?...any cowboy tricks? | 23:41 |
| kerik | ikonia: well...it doesn't...but it will still only offer me 800x600.... | 23:41 |
| bazhang | linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic relik77080 | 23:41 |
| AndreasMadrid | Nobody can help? | 23:41 |
| ikonia | kerik: it doesn't ? what are you talking about | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kerik quick dirty.. boot a gutsy or other livecd that works and steal the xorg.. | 23:41 |
| tiyowan | Priswell: Sorry. The proper cmd is "sudo Xorg -configure" Could you run that please? | 23:41 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: should i expect any problems? | 23:41 |
| ikonia | kerik: you've just told me it prompts you for what monitor to use | 23:41 |
| kerik | ikonia: no I told you that I can choose...but as far as I see it, I will have to choose one to get my correct resolution back... | 23:42 |
| ikonia | kerik: how can you chose, it shouldn't be asking you to choose anything | 23:43 |
| kerik | Jack_Sparrow: maybe a rookie one here....how do I steel the xorg? | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kerik can we take this pm please. | 23:43 |
| kerik | ikonia: well...it does... | 23:43 |
| ikonia | now it does ? | 23:43 |
| ikonia | you just said it didn't | 23:43 |
| kerik | Jack_Sparrow: of course... | 23:43 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: should i restart after its installed? and do i need to do anything to activate the backport? sorry if these are silly questions | 23:43 |

| AndreasMadrid | Gnea: anything? my courrent micro is not supported. And i don't wanna buy one that doesn't work either | 23:48 |
| Gnea | AndreasMadrid: micro innovations?! | 23:48 |
| hischild | Gnea, microphones | 23:49 |
| Priswell | tiyowan: OK, got: "Fatal server error: Server is already active for displaying 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/ .xo-lock and start again." | 23:49 |
| AndreasMadrid | Gnea: I have an HP laptop with integrated micriophone. Don't know if it's very innovative or not, but i can't capture sound under linux | 23:49 |
| Gnea | hischild: well, when people mean 'microphone', they usually say 'mic' | 23:49 |
| AndreasMadrid | Gnea: HP Pavillion | 23:49 |
| hischild | Gnea, i agree, but i knew this was about a mic and not micro :-) | 23:49 |
| Gnea | AndreasMadrid: OIC... sorry, misunderstood. micro innovations is probably the *worst* manufacturer of microphones and webcams | 23:50 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: i still cant seem to get the wireless started | 23:50 |
| bazhang | relik77080, the firmware seems to be loaded; could you set the nic up and down again | 23:50 |
| Melik | hey Org-Mode, sorry to bother you again but do you know how to autorun specific programs on openbox? | 23:50 |
| Gnea | hischild: :) | 23:50 |
| Melik | im pretty sure it should be similair to fluxbox | 23:50 |
| tiyowan | Priswell: From terminal: "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure" | 23:50 |
| Org-Mode | well if its anything like flux, it requires editing the start scripts Melik | 23:51 |
| Gnea | CntryTousrTrout: can you pastebin the output of this please: cat /proc/asound/cards | 23:51 |
| AndreasMadrid | Gnea ah, then i misunderstood. I though you were talking about some new tehcnology, hehe. I don't know the manufacturer. Is there a command to find that out? | 23:51 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: i flicked the wifi hardware switch - no change | 23:51 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: Enable Wireless' is still greyed out | 23:51 |
| bazhang | relik77080, the kill switch (ie hardware)? | 23:51 |
| Gnea | AndreasMadrid: if it's builtin, then it should be alright... did you check your mixer settings to make sure the dB boost is on? | 23:51 |
| relik77080 | yea | 23:51 |
| Org-Mode | Melik: and flux is a clone of openbox if im not mistaking, or a derivitive , so it prolly is a start up script | 23:51 |
| Melik | yeah i only have a menu.xml and rc.xml | 23:52 |
| apfelkuchen | Stanlin: also, change /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda2 from my example, obviously | 23:52 |
| Org-Mode | i bet its rc.xml | 23:52 |
| hischild | Org-Mode, flux meaning fluxbox? | 23:52 |
| CntryTousrTrout | gnea: 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia | 23:52 |
| CntryTousrTrout | HDA NVidia at 0xfe020000 irq 21 | 23:52 |
| bazhang | relik77080, okay; you need to restart with the switch set to on (dont mess with it in future, use terminal commands to get it going) | 23:52 |
| AndreasMadrid | Gnea I have no db boost in my mixer. Only mute/unmute and volume for caputere. All i can say is that it's an HP laptop with integrated webcam and micro. Webcam works, but micro not. | 23:52 |
| Org-Mode | yeah hischild i meant to say a deriviitive of blackbox not openbox | 23:52 |
| Melik | nah doubt it, rc is my hot keys file | 23:52 |
| Melik | and menu.xml is the menu | 23:52 |
| hischild | Org-Mode, fluxbox is in .fluxbox/startup | 23:53 |
| Melik | hold on ill try to go dig around | 23:53 |
| Org-Mode | i know | 23:53 |
| Melik | hischild, u know anything about openbox? | 23:53 |
| relik77080 | bazhang: problem is its a slider style switch - theres no 'on' state - it just toggles between | 23:53 |
| Org-Mode | hischild: he swas asking about openbox | 23:53 |
| relik77080 | know what i mean? | 23:53 |
| Org-Mode | was* | 23:53 |
| hischild | Melik, what's up? | 23:53 |
