| bluntz | 8 bits per byte i do believe | 00:14 |
| tyrant | eternaljoy, 1 byte is 8 bit | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | what's the difference between the 64bit desktop and alternate cd, other than the alternate being text based, and apparnatly the user being able to choose which programs to install on installation, as well as making the partition encrypted | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | asterix: you might not notice much difference unless you hve the compiz setting cranked up. install, smms or whatever it is | 00:15 |
| hischild | eternaljoy, divide by 8, then 10% overhead. | 00:15 |
| eternaljoy | zsquareplusc: ok, cheers big ears :-) | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | !info cssm | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Package cssm does not exist in intrepid | 00:15 |
| wiijii | gogzmer OK cheers | 00:15 |
| zsquareplusc | b3z3rk3r: so its not a direct cable connection but over a LAN. ok. so dont turn off firewalls.. :-) you say it works one way? there may be a firewall within the network too | 00:15 |
| asterix | onetinsoldier: I've got a pretty fast new machine so I think it'll be pretty smooth no matter what :) | 00:15 |
| hischild | gogzmer, 10% overhead is a very safe amount to subtract. TCP/IP has quite some overhead on data. | 00:15 |
| quentusrex_ | For some reason ubuntu doesn't detect my display properly. I'm using an hdmi cable. I see the 'desktop' twice on the top half of the screen, and scrambled on the bottom half. | 00:15 |
| tyrant | sebsebseb, with the alternate cd you can install from network also and other technical stuff | 00:15 |
| eternaljoy | hischild: ok! well thats good then. im going on broadband plan that says "UP to 20Mbps"... so that means I can get UP to 2.5MB/s... but in reality it probably will be 1.1MB/s.... right? | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | tyrant: yes that's what I am interested in the technical stuff | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | tyrant: ,but what technical stuff exactly? | 00:16 |
| onetinsoldier | asterix: install this... apt-get install simple-ccsm | 00:16 |
| zsquareplusc | eternaljoy: i'd expect around 2MB/s or a bit more, not just 1.1 | 00:16 |
| onetinsoldier | asterix: tellme when you have that installed | 00:16 |
| eternaljoy | hischild: are wireless modems good? They connect using Wireless in my Notebook? | 00:16 |
| b3z3rk3r | zsquareplusc, haha this is getting complicated.. yes it is a DC cable between the laptop and desktop. But the desktop has other NIC's connecting to LAN which the laptop connects to wirelessly.. see? :P | 00:17 |
| eternaljoy | zsquareplusc: if I got 1Megabytes per sec download. I would be happy. | 00:17 |
| wiijii | What is pulseaudio, and can it be gotten rid of? I want alsamixer to actually show my card mixer levels | 00:17 |
| tyrant | sebsebseb, i dont know anymore but i used it to install from an iso instead of burning it to cd | 00:17 |
| hischild | eternaljoy, depending on how far your central is, you'll get between 1 and 2.3MB/s. That's my experience so far with it. | 00:17 |
| eternaljoy | zsquareplusc: thats 600MB per 10 mins | 00:17 |
| eternaljoy | hischild: gotcha cheers big ears :-) | 00:17 |

| hischild | eternaljoy, yup. Can do more actually, but that's another subject. | 00:19 |
| zsquareplusc | b3z3rk3r: you have different IPs for your own cable than for the other conenctions? did you check the output of "route" on each so that this IP range goes through the 2nd NIC? | 00:19 |
| asterix | onetinsoldier: it opened for a split second and then dissapeared | 00:19 |

| hischild | tyrant, and i got a 20mbit connection and i get 2.3 | 00:19 |
| tyrant | hischild, lucky for you , | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | tyrant: well I guess not in my case, because not going to network install and partition being encrypted I have no reason for this. what features are avaiable on the alternate CD? I could install virtual machine software again and download the ISO and run it in that to find out, but I guess you know since you used it | 00:20 |
| b3z3rk3r | zsquareplusc, im not sure how to do that? can you point me to a guide? | 00:20 |
| asterix | onetinsoldier: okay it's open now on the second try | 00:20 |
| onetinsoldier | asterix: no... this is a different one,and they don't conflict | 00:20 |
| eternaljoy | Acronis Trueimage 11 will only read 8.04, inode 128... but Ubuntu 8.10 started using inode 256 :((( So Im stuck on 8.04 ! BAD MISTAKE UBUNTU :( | 00:20 |
| hischild | tyrant, when it comes to computer stuff, i'm always lucky | 00:20 |
| zsquareplusc | eternaljoy: you can probably configure that with the inodes. or when you upgrade you keep the current filesystem format | 00:20 |
| eternaljoy | any solution? | 00:20 |
| Jaza | can anyone tell me what this might mean ,change the IP Address to an address that’s outside the dynamically assigned range of your network? | 00:20 |
| ilyas_ | where ubuntu mirror i want update my ubuntu 5 | 00:20 |

| actafool_ | deamn | 00:22 |
| actafool_ | this dont works for me | 00:22 |
| zsquareplusc | eternaljoy: isn't that a setting that can only be changed when a partition is formated? (i don't know..) so in a upgrade your filesystem is not formated and keeps the inode setting | 00:22 |
| onetinsoldier | asterix: ok, go to the animations tab.. select some thing for the 'Open Window' and 'Close Window' drop-down menus | 00:22 |

| zsquareplusc | b3z3rk3r: that's just screen sharing. that wont get your files from one side to the other | 00:28 |

| 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).

| actafool_ | okay ty | 00:34 |
| gogzmer | Jaza: apt | 00:34 |
| Gnea | hashbrowns: you'd better pm me | 00:34 |
| gogzmer | Jaza: what are you looking to do? | 00:34 |
| unop | peaces, you might need to get pm-utils to unload your wireless modules before hibernation | 00:35 |
| peaces | unop: can you elaborate more on that? | 00:36 |
| Elite | gogzmer: I am sure it does but lmsensors say no | 00:36 |

| hischild | peaces, it means that it'll disable your wireless before you hibernate, and reload once it comes back out of hibernation. | 00:36 |
| gogzmer | Elite: unfortunately, I am not too much help. Often people come looking to monitor their cpu temp, but their mobo doesn't support it, so I ask that question first so thet they can figure out if it is even possible. If you are sure your mobo does, than good luck...I have never gotten any sensor package to work for me, and since it really wasn't a big deal, I just forgot about it | 00:36 |
| tyrant | get a mac Jaza :P | 00:36 |
| Jaza | thanks but I already have a PC | 00:37 |
| tyrant | Jaza, just a joke | 00:37 |
| peaces | hischild, how do i get that, I'm assuming its a program | 00:37 |
| unop | peaces, copy your /usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults to /etc/pm and then edit /etc/pm/defaults to change SUSPEND_MODULES | 00:37 |
| zsquareplusc | Elite: you dont have output from "sensors"? | 00:37 |
| bluntz | Jaza needs Jpilot methinks | 00:37 |
| Jaza | well, I've been trying to get this to work all day | 00:37 |
| Elite | zsquareplusc: nope notta | 00:38 |
| peaces | unop: ok I'll give that a try | 00:38 |
| zsquareplusc | Elite: you haev run sensors-detect? | 00:38 |
| gogzmer | Is there a way to safely re-size the partitions on my machine without using GParted from a live CD? I keep trying that method, and it keeps failing, telling me I need to do things I already did | 00:38 |
| Elite | zsquareplusc: yes | 00:38 |

| eternaljoy | platius: i followed that, dont work | 00:39 |
| gogzmer | eternaljoy: fresh install | 00:39 |
| gogzmer | :) | 00:39 |
| zsquareplusc | eternaljoy: you need to change from LTS to the fast release cycle. the link above tells you how | 00:39 |
| unop | eternaljoy, sudo aptitude install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade | 00:39 |
| eternaljoy | gogzmer: I cannot.. i need inode 128 | 00:39 |
| eternaljoy | zsquareplusc: what? | 00:39 |
| Jaza | Bluntz I'm trying to figure what this means, Open Installer. | 00:39 |
| Jaza | Click All Packages ? BSD Subsystem ? Install | 00:39 |
| Jaza | Click on All Packages ? OpenSSH ? Install. | 00:39 |
| gogzmer | eternaljoy: backup your data somewhere else, and then do a fresh install, re-formatting to give you the bigger inode size as you go | 00:40 |
| zsquareplusc | eternaljoy: the reason the update manager is doing nothing is that 8.04 is a LTS | 00:40 |
| zsquareplusc | !lts | 00:40 |
| 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. | 00:40 |
| peaces | unop: yeah i just noticed that it says DO NOT EDIT THIS lol | 00:40 |
| eternaljoy | gogzmer: are you listening dude?? i cant. I need inode 128 | 00:40 |

| trifecta | i have to look at it to see | 00:44 |
| eternaljoy | trifecta: yes pls :) | 00:44 |

| trifecta | hmm | 00:45 |
| trifecta | odd | 00:45 |
| hischild | CaneToad, 1. the error. 2. did you put sudo in front. 3. did you update. | 00:45 |
| ribas1 | like i said this is dumb question | 00:45 |
| eternaljoy | <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: the reason the update manager is doing nothing is that 8.04 is a LTS <-- so whats the fix? | 00:45 |
| trifecta | it worked for me but I cancelled the upgrade | 00:45 |
| trifecta | that sounds like a bug | 00:45 |

| superfly500 | from the looks of it IHC9 intel chipset is not supported by ALSA :-( | 00:46 |
| trifecta | eternaljoy, in the update manager theres a button that says upgrade, correct? | 00:46 |
| eternaljoy | trifecta: it says "By default Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will not offer a upgrade to 8.10." | 00:46 |
| trifecta | what | 00:47 |
| superfly500 | nope | 00:47 |
| borbosha | So I am having a problem, on my Dell XPS M1210, where Xorg never displays the OSD and prevents the keyboard from working when adjusting the brightness with the fn+up arrow on the laptop. The only way I have found to fix it once it happens is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up. Any ideas how to fix this? | 00:47 |
| superfly500 | works on vista so i no its not hardware | 00:47 |
| gogzmer | superfly500: For my machine, I have to run under the oss drivers, but I ended up using alsamixer to set the volumes, etc. | 00:47 |
| trifecta | I'm on 8.04 and I started the upgrade, but cancelled for my own reasons. I know you can. | 00:47 |
| zsquareplusc | eternaljoy: well if you already see the "upgrade to 8.10" button it should be fine. if that isn't working - i have no idea | 00:47 |
| borbosha | The brightness actually works it just locks up the Xorg portion of the system. | 00:47 |

| zsquareplusc | CaneToad: looks like the trigger file there is broken. did you have a filesystem error? | 00:49 |
| hischild | CaneToad, can you try and use sudo? | 00:49 |
| hischild | zsquareplusc, got a fix here for him. | 00:49 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: how I do it manusally? | 00:49 |
| Nabbins | thx that works | 00:49 |
| CaneToad | zsquareplusc, no filesystem errors | 00:49 |
| hischild | CaneToad, won't fix the issue at hand, that'll be the next step | 00:49 |
| ari_stress | dietwater: it's from terminal prefs | 00:49 |
| trifecta | dietwater, I think they use Compiz window rules. | 00:49 |
| dietwater | So, how would I change this? | 00:49 |
| trifecta | opacity rules | 00:49 |
| hischild | CaneToad, kill all package managers. ps aux | grep dpkg and ps aux | grep atp should give no result but grep. Confirm? | 00:49 |
| dietwater | I have compizconfig etc. | 00:49 |
| dietwater | Ah. In the config manager? | 00:50 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: you have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file... as root | 00:50 |
| superfly500 | nope oss mixer no good aswell just my lock get a new laptop and its the sound lol last time on my old pc its was the ati card lol | 00:50 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: one moment.... | 00:50 |
| superfly500 | luck* | 00:50 |
| CaneToad | hischild, confirmed, no dpkg or atp processes | 00:50 |
| trifecta | it might be terminal prefs too | 00:50 |
| ermoved | dietwater, that's probably an option in that terminal program | 00:50 |
| trifecta | but i make my whole window semi transparent in the compiz opacity rules | 00:50 |
| ari_stress | dietwater: no need from compiz | 00:50 |
| hischild | CaneToad, go to /var/cache/apt/archives and delete the openssh package if it's in there. | 00:50 |
| === sadasdfs is now known as Koi | ||
| trifecta | yeah do it his wya | 00:51 |
| dietwater | I'm still confused, sorry. | 00:51 |
| trifecta | way | 00:51 |
| trifecta | lol | 00:51 |
| trifecta | where do we access terminal prefs? | 00:51 |
| ermoved | dietwater, there are several ways to accomplish transparency. | 00:51 |
| dietwater | Then which is the easiest and least hacky? =) | 00:51 |
| CaneToad | hischild, the file was there...I moved it to /tmp | 00:51 |
| === Koi is now known as Koi_ | ||
| ermoved | trifecta, it depends on the terminal program.. | 00:51 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: make a backup of the file before yo do anything... cp -v /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list-hardy | 00:52 |
| ari_stress | trifecta: Applications > Accessories > Terminal > Edit > Profile prefs | 00:52 |
| trifecta | you could try going to Edit> Profiles> | 00:52 |
| ermoved | err | 00:52 |
| patrick-1 | does anyone know a piece of software that can convert xvid avi's to a format that i can burn to a dvd? | 00:52 |
| trifecta | yeah | 00:52 |
| trifecta | what ari said | 00:52 |
| ermoved | dietwater, depends on the program. if you're using a default ubuntu install, follow ari_stress directions. | 00:52 |
| bluntz | pat use avidemux | 00:52 |
| Trenter | Question: In ubuntu, say I have a folder that contains a program, what is the best folder in root to put that folder in, aka the program files equivalent of ubuntu | 00:52 |
| patrick-1 | mhh | 00:52 |
| patrick-1 | okay | 00:53 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: cd /etc/apt ...then sudo -i and enter your password | 00:53 |
| markolonius | hey is it possible to apply permissions to a specific directory and all its subdirectories by command line? | 00:53 |
| patrick-1 | bluntz: what tool do i use to burn? | 00:53 |
| dietwater | I thought there was a way to make the default background of windows transparent | 00:53 |
| gogzmer | markolonius: chmod | 00:53 |
| eternaljoy | how do I manusally do it onetinsoldier ? | 00:53 |
| ermoved | Trenter, binary files are typically in [some root strucutre]/bin, such as /usr/bin. | 00:53 |
| bluntz | I use k3b | 00:53 |
| ari_stress | markolonius: sure thing, sudo chmod -R /dir/something | 00:53 |
| gogzmer | markolonius: read the man, its in there | 00:53 |
| tyrant | markolonius, yes | 00:53 |
| camerongroom | how do I find my gimp scripts in ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| kitche | markolonius: chmod -R but becareful since you can screw your system up if you use chmod on the wrong directory | 00:53 |
| sfer2 | /home/username/.gimpx.x | 00:53 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: forget it.. ill stick with 8.04 :P | 00:54 |
| ermoved | Trenter, but you dont install "the program" there. several things have to go in several other places, i'm sure. | 00:54 |
| ari_stress | markolonius: right like kitche said | 00:54 |
| CaneToad | hischild, I re-ran the command with sudo.... same deal.... http://pastebin.com/m1321506 maybe I should try a different mirror? | 00:54 |
| sfer2 | camerongroom^ | 00:54 |
| markolonius | kitche: -R does that dir and all its subdirs? ah | 00:54 |
| markolonius | thanks | 00:54 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: then... sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid | 00:54 |
| sfer2 | camerongroom: /home/username/.gimpx.x | 00:54 |
| camerongroom | sfer2: do I do that in a terminal? | 00:54 |
| hischild | CaneToad, the file in question, /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp, most likely has some content. Back it up somewhere, delete it, then do sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp | 00:54 |
| sfer2 | camerongroom: no, you can just browse to it | 00:54 |
| sfer2 | make sure you can view hidden files | 00:54 |
| camerongroom | thanks | 00:55 |
| dietwater | markolonius: -r stands for recursive =) | 00:55 |
| Trenter | When I try to drag a folder from a .tar.bz2 file into my /usr/games folder it says permission denied, is this normal? I am using an admin ubuntu account. | 00:55 |
| tyrant | g | 00:56 |
| === issa is now known as AslanMan | ||
| CaneToad | hischild, Unincorp is binary.... it is a dbm database, you sure you want to zero it? | 00:56 |
| sfer2 | Now I have a problem with gnome: when i log in, it shows the normal stuff for a couple of seconds and then a command line and then returns me to the login screen, but with kde it's fine. what is going on? | 00:56 |
| hischild | CaneToad, Back it up first. | 00:56 |
| tyrant | Trenter, it is normal because ubuntu doesnt let you log in as root which is the administrator , but u can do so by starting nautilus with sudo | 00:56 |
| ari_stress | sfer2: did it work before? | 00:56 |
| mortici | anyone willing to tell me how to change a device label, one of my secondary hdd's is labeled as "New Volume" but i want to rename it to something else | 00:57 |
| sfer2 | ari_stress: yes, it worked fine until i logged in just this morning | 00:57 |
| sfer2 | well, tried to. | 00:57 |
| tyrant | Trenter, i wouldnt drag and drop a folder ti /usr/games | 00:57 |
| jeeves_Moss | anyone on this FTPD server issue timing out on the LIST command? | 00:57 |
| ari_stress | sfer2: might be a corrupt gnome settings, you can try login to kde, and renaming/backingup the ~/.gnome directory and logon to gnome again | 00:57 |
| sfer2 | Trenter: extract it from command line instead | 00:57 |
| eternaljoy | anyone knbow how to Upgrade 8.04 LTS to 8.10? | 00:57 |
| sfer2 | ari_stress: ive tried that with all .gnome and .gconf folders, hasn't worked | 00:58 |
| edju | want to install gnome, but ubuntu-desktop brings in too much. is a "thin" gnome available? | 00:58 |
| waya-work-s | yeah. | 00:58 |
| sfer2 | eternaljoy: go to update manager and allow it to display upgrades | 00:58 |
| eternaljoy | !upgrade | 00:58 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:58 |
| waya-work-s | try installing gnome edju | 00:58 |
| ari_stress | sfer2: ow.. how about create a new user and try logon with that user | 00:58 |
| ari_stress | sfer2: just to see what's the problem | 00:58 |
| sfer2 | ari_stress: good idea, i will do that and report back. | 00:58 |
| eternaljoy | sfer2: I see UPGRADE TO 8.10.. but when I click it, it says downloading update manager, and then nothing happens | 00:58 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: then... sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid | 00:59 |
| sfer2 | eternaljoy: wait, it has to download | 00:59 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: type that command? | 00:59 |
| eternaljoy | sfer2: no, nothing is hjappening, even 10 mins later | 00:59 |
| tyrant | Trenter, i bet you re doing something wrong as when u install things under linux , the exe goes to usr/local/bin and pics and icons gor to /usr/share/programm and libraries to /usr/LIB so i d be careful | 00:59 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: I type... sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid ? | 00:59 |
| provo | i'm having a weird problem, when i try to delete one of my folders in my home directory i am unable to do so because i keep getting permission denied, why am i not allowed to do this in my own home directory? | 00:59 |

| Seiphas | I have a computer running 8.10, and one of the ext3 drives is reporting errors | 00:59 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: it's a sed command.... | 00:59 |
| waya-work-s | eternaljoy: no | 00:59 |
| zsquareplusc | edju: you can install xubuntu. that has a different window manager but you can still run gnome (or KDE) apps | 00:59 |
| eternaljoy | !sed | 00:59 |

| tyrant | just use gparted tonon | 01:00 |
| ari_stress | hi guys, i download torrent a lot, it surely makes my hdd heavily fragmented, right? | 01:00 |
| Seiphas | ari_stress: what partition type | 01:00 |
| waya-work-s | eternaljoy: nar let update-manager -d do it for you | 01:01 |
| ari_stress | Seiphas: ext3 | 01:01 |
| waya-work-s | its all automated | 01:01 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: this is up to you. yuo have to want it bad... because things don't 'always' go smoothly with an upgrade.. but it's likely you'll be ok.. but you never know | 01:01 |
| eternaljoy | waya-work-s: bash: upgrade: command not found | 01:01 |
| Seiphas | ext3 doesn't really fragment | 01:01 |
| tonon | tyrant i have gparted how does it work? | 01:01 |
| gogzmer | Are there any options to re-size an ext3 partition safely other than GParted? | 01:01 |
| waya-work-s | update-manager -d | 01:01 |
| NkZ | Thats why EXT3 rules over that sucky NTFS | 01:01 |
| waya-work-s | !upgrade | 01:01 |

| eternaljoy | waya-work-s: those steps dont work on that website | 01:01 |
| ari_stress | Seiphas: i've read that article, but with torrent, the protective mechanism can't do much, right? it must be fragmented somehow | 01:01 |

| trifecta | so is steam and source compatibility better with wine nowadays? | 01:09 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: i would just like you to compare the sources.list file and the sources.list-intrepid file... does the intrepid one look all good? | 01:09 |
| trifecta | or winex | 01:09 |
| n8tuser | dannetwork -> let them join your #ownchannel | 01:09 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: Do I want to /dev/sdc If I'm looking to put a partition on the third drive that's currently RAW, I want to make a new partition table there, correct? | 01:10 |
| asterix | emilien: I just got a new computer and thankfully there's no problem on my fresh install. You might try a full removal of firefox and flash and then reinstalling them. | 01:10 |
| bizthepirate | How does one open a .pax archive, like the ones found on Mac OS? I have pax installed, but the man pages really don't help much... | 01:10 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: i would know | 01:10 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: can u see it? | 01:10 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: i wouldnt know | 01:10 |
| hischild | CaneToad, good to hear. | 01:10 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: you can pastebin them | 01:10 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: (the other drives are aptly named /sda and /sdb, and are the appropriate sizes for my first and second drive.) | 01:11 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: what file? | 01:11 |
| eternaljoy | !pastebin | 01:11 |
| 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) | 01:11 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: if the drive you are looking to put it on is currently blank, with no partitions, then I believe so. If the sizes all seem right, then sdc is probably right | 01:11 |
| emilien | asterix:i have latest flash and firefox , flash is recognized , just dosn't work =\ , think firefox reinstall is called for | 01:11 |
| david_28 | hey guys! I have a MAJOR problem in ubuntu I cant click on anything thats on my desktop of in my web browser | 01:11 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: both the /etc/apt/sources.list and the /etc/apt/sources.list-intrepid files.. pastebin them so i can see them | 01:11 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: It names them in the order that it finds them, sda, b, c, usualy as they are listed in the bios | 01:11 |
| trifecta | i don't understand you david_28 | 01:11 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: Ah, here we go. | 01:12 |
| david_28 | trifecta: ok I will explain | 01:12 |
| CaneToad | hischild would you happen to know anything about configuring audio... the recent 8.10 updates seem to have broken my audio | 01:12 |
| === harry is now known as Guest81012 | ||
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: yeah, it just changed a the blank /sdc to 250 GB of free space. | 01:12 |
| hapless | david_28: try ctrl+alt+f2 (sends u to console) then ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to desktop | 01:12 |
| Cygnus__ | Then just make a new partition | 01:12 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91904/ | 01:12 |
| onetinsoldier | ok | 01:12 |
| david_28 | trifecta: my "windows" freezes and then I cant click on anything I cant even terminate my windows | 01:12 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: yup | 01:12 |
| trifecta | david_28, what are your system specs/ | 01:12 |
| david_28 | hapless: well this accures even after reboots | 01:13 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91905/ | 01:13 |
| dannetwork | can some one help me in an other chat i need to set up a chat room that you have to be on my net wrok to get on | 01:13 |
| onetinsoldier | k | 01:13 |
| Halitech | david_28, are you running compiz? | 01:13 |
| Guest81012 | hows ubuntu kde 4 doing??? I heard there are a lot of issues. Is it worth trying or should I stay with 3.5 | 01:13 |
| david_28 | trifecta: I got a Toshiba Tecra 1 | 01:13 |
| gogzmer | CaneToad: I had the same problem when I updated the kernel as apt suggested, but when it broke my sound, I just selected the past kernel from grub instead | 01:13 |
| trifecta | give me specs | 01:13 |
| david_28 | Halitech: yes but I have it turned off | 01:13 |
| trifecta | not the model | 01:13 |
| n8tuser | david_28 -> you can get to ctrl+alt+f1 login and type top to see which process is hogging up the cpu | 01:13 |
| CaneToad | gogzmer, I'll try that...thanks for the clue | 01:13 |
| === Hangwire is now known as Hangwire` | ||
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91904/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/91905/ | 01:13 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: looks good at first glance.. let me take a close look | 01:13 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: Because I went with manual, will I have to manually create a swap file, or does Ubuntu do that from within it's own partition? | 01:13 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: ok | 01:13 |
| === Hangwire` is now known as Hangwire`sleep | ||
| trifecta | david_28, can you open a normal terminal? | 01:14 |
| gogzmer | dannetwork: Litterally just tell whomever to /join #[whateveryouwanttocalltheroom] and they all will be in the same room | 01:14 |
| david_28 | trifecta: yes i can | 01:14 |
| trifecta | just type top | 01:14 |
| Guest81012 | hows ubuntu kde 4 doing??? I heard there are a lot of issues. Is it worth trying or should I stay with 3.5 | 01:14 |
| trifecta | in the terminal | 01:14 |

| Guest81012 | hows ubuntu kde 4 doing??? I heard there are a lot of issues. Is it worth trying or should I stay with 3.5 | 01:14 |
| hischild | CaneToad, hmm not really. Tried the different sound optiosn? | 01:14 |
| david_28 | trifecta: yeah | 01:14 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: ok..have you made nay bakup of the 'sources.list' file? | 01:15 |
| onetinsoldier | any* | 01:15 |
| hischild | CaneToad, sorry if im kinda slow, trying to do death toll in left 4 dead | 01:15 |
| trifecta | david_28, whats your cpu usage | 01:15 |
| n8tuser | dannetwork -> let them join your #ownchannel -- it does not matter windows or mac or linux, get them to freenode and create the channel | 01:15 |
| trifecta | and what process is using most of it | 01:15 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: you will have to do it. THe way I would recomend partitioning a drive is to have a 2GB swap partition at the end of the drive, a 50 GB root (/) partition at the front of the drive, and fill the rest with a data partition where all but SWAP are formatted to ext3 | 01:15 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: cp -v sources.list sources.list-hardy | 01:15 |
| david_28 | trifecta: 42 % and im updating my system now | 01:15 |
| hapless | how can I repair an ntfs drive in ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: so now I type cp -v sources.list sources.list-hardy ? | 01:15 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: yes | 01:16 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: under root? | 01:16 |
| dannetwork | how do i create my own channel | 01:16 |
| trifecta | david_28, is it consistently around 42% | 01:16 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: Gotcha. Should I worry about a sperate /root and /home? | 01:16 |
| trifecta | ? | 01:16 |
| CaneToad | hischild, yeah I can't get any sound out of it with any of the sound devices, even with a USB phone | 01:16 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: yes | 01:16 |
| gogzmer | dannetwork: dude, 5 people have told you...a channel only exists because some user is in it | 01:16 |
| n8tuser | Cygnus__ -> 50 gig for / root is way too much, even a 10gig is more than enuff, save the other space for another partition | 01:16 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: to do a major upgrade.. you will be doing everything as root | 01:16 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: ok done | 01:16 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: ok.. good | 01:16 |
| david_28 | trifecta: nope | 01:16 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: next step? :) | 01:17 |
| Halitech | dannetwork, read up http://freenode.net/faq.shtml | 01:17 |
| trifecta | hmm | 01:17 |
| hischild | CaneToad, default questions first then. It's all set to alsa? | 01:17 |
| trifecta | so its not resources | 01:17 |
| hischild | CaneToad, nothing is muted? Do you hear any noise? static perhaps? | 01:17 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: now.. cp -v sources.list-intrepid sources.list | 01:17 |
| arthur | i have a question i am using ubuntu right now was going to install mandriva, i can use the same home partition for both os's? | 01:17 |
| trifecta | do you know how to open the system monitor? | 01:17 |
| dannetwork | ok thanks i will read up | 01:17 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: done | 01:17 |
| david_28 | trifecta: yes I know | 01:17 |
| trifecta | gnome-system-monitor in terminal | 01:17 |
| trifecta | oh ok | 01:17 |
| Cygnus__ | n8tuser: Yeah, 30 for root does seem like a lot. If I have a /home file, only system files are stored on Root by default, right? | 01:17 |
| david_28 | trifecta: Im quite experinced | 01:17 |
| trifecta | oh | 01:17 |
| trifecta | ok | 01:17 |
| trifecta | sorry :D | 01:17 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: ok.. cross your fingers.... apt-get update | 01:17 |
| david_28 | trifecta: np :D | 01:18 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: ok :P | 01:18 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: I usually don't because I like to just throw all my data into a /data folder, so I make that a partition. If you are more like the kind of person who uses "my documents" for everything, you can create a home partition, otherwise you can turn /home into a symlink that points to the data partition | 01:18 |
| trifecta | not resources then | 01:18 |
| * Cygnus__ crosses fingers for eternaljoy too. | 01:18 | |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: if you dont see me again today, that means it broke :P | 01:18 |
| david_28 | trifecta: I just havent had this problem before | 01:18 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: when that's done... apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:18 |
| eternaljoy | Cygnus__: cheers big ears :-) | 01:18 |
| trifecta | your sure compiz is not running at all? | 01:18 |
| trifecta | no emerald? | 01:18 |
| n8tuser | Cygnus__ -> yes, only system stuff, so if you make that to another partition and put VM or virtuals.. that would give you plenty of ummp | 01:18 |
| Seiphas | I have a hard drive that's getting read errors on every single block. How screwed am I? | 01:18 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: i understand | 01:18 |
| trifecta | ever had problems with compiz-fusion in the past/ | 01:18 |
| trifecta | ? | 01:18 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: ok here goes.. (holds breath ) | 01:18 |
| hololight | while using nautilus I can not 'browse' windows pc's / shares.... but if i manually type in the address I can access a particular pc's shares.... thoughts? | 01:18 |
| david_28 | trifecta: I turned my compiz off because i thought it caused the problem | 01:18 |
| trifecta | oh | 01:19 |
| CaneToad | hischild, if I go into sound preferences, whether I select autodetect, or any of the alsa or oss outputs, clicking test gives no sound at all for any of the options | 01:19 |
| Cygnus__ | n8tuser, gogzmer: So, if I were to make a 10 GB root, 30 GB /home or /data, and a 2 GB swap, I would be good? | 01:19 |
| trifecta | do you have ccsm installed? | 01:19 |
| gogzmer | n8tuser: ive used up almost 50GB of space for root...mostly just from installing random packages, and gnome takes up a few gigs by itself | 01:19 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: ill be back if it works,, if not, ill be back tomorrow :P | 01:19 |
| markolonius | is there a way to apply permissions recrusivly to just files? and not dirs? | 01:19 |
| n8tuser | Cygnus__ -> plenty enuff | 01:19 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: there may be problems getting all the packages to install.. but i'll be here to help you work through them | 01:19 |
| david_28 | trifecta: hmm I dont think so but im not sure | 01:19 |
| n8tuser | gogzmer -> you have installed everything on the dvd? | 01:19 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: sure, it just depends on the number of apps you will be installing, as well as how much data you will be putting in there | 01:19 |
| david_28 | trifecta: Ubuntu has worked fine for several weeks | 01:20 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer, n8tuser: I have two other drives that are NTFS, so I'll actually be most likely dumping all of my files into there anyway. | 01:20 |
| david_28 | trifecta: even months | 01:20 |
| trifecta | so what did you change? | 01:20 |
| gogzmer | n8tuser: I often grab random interesting apps out of synaptic | 01:20 |
| n8tuser | Cygnus__ -> okay, cool | 01:20 |
| david_28 | trifecta: nothing that i can think of | 01:20 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer, n8user: I can store non-system files in root if I wish? | 01:20 |
| Raerlynn | hey guys, I'm having some problems installing it from a Live USB drive | 01:20 |

| elliottm | I'm running 64-bit kubuntu, and I have 4gb of ram installed, but linux is only seeing 3.2gb of it. I ran memtest86 on moth modules individusally, and there were no errors | 01:20 |
| goffio | hello | 01:21 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: yes, but there usually isn't a good reason | 01:21 |
| david_28 | trifecta: but u know now it works again but it will only work for awhile | 01:21 |
| n8tuser | Cygnus__ -> you can, but it doesn not make sense | 01:21 |
| elliottm | why isn't ubuntu recognizing all of my ram? | 01:21 |
| Cygnus__ | n8tuser, gogzmer: Alright. | 01:21 |
| trifecta | lol 4gb | 01:21 |
| actafool_ | who is the best movie player for ubuntu .. | 01:21 |
| actafool_ | ? | 01:21 |
| goffio | is it mandatory to apt-get upgrade before apt-get dist-upgrade? | 01:21 |
| trifecta | wth would you need all of that for? | 01:21 |
| david_28 | trifecta: I started to notice this when I was using firefox and couldnt scroll down or do anything | 01:21 |
| actafool_ | cause i cant stat my subttitles with totem player | 01:22 |
| gogzmer | elliottm: perhaps it doesn't like sheep? | 01:22 |
| trifecta | maybe it's a mouse driver issue | 01:22 |
| Cygnus__ | trifecta: Computing mersenne primes. | 01:22 |
| gogzmer | ;) | 01:22 |
| onetinsoldier | goffio: no | 01:22 |
| actafool_ | start* | 01:22 |
| trifecta | can you use all of the keyboard commands? | 01:22 |
| elliottm | trifecta: it's combination of future-proofing and really good deals | 01:22 |
| Cygnus__ | That's what I use RAM for. | 01:22 |
| david_28 | trifecta: this is a laptop and I have tried an external mouse | 01:22 |
| trifecta | oh ok | 01:22 |
| hischild | CaneToad, hmm odd ... set it to autodetect and run alsamixer in terminal | 01:22 |
| trifecta | heh | 01:22 |
| trifecta | i have 1 gig | 01:22 |
| goffio | whohoo! then i don't have to dl those 200M to upgrade the distro, that's good ;) | 01:22 |
| elliottm | gogzmer: nice try, but it was certified sheep compatible | 01:22 |
| trifecta | and i cant even use half of it in ubuntu | 01:22 |

| trifecta | no swap usage | 01:23 |
| Cygnus__ | Trifecta: Actually, no. It's for any copies of Vista within 100 yards. They suck in ambient RAM, and slow down your system if they can't leech your memory off. | 01:23 |
| Raerlynn | it doesn't seem to want to format the drive | 01:23 |
| actafool_ | tell me one good movie player | 01:23 |

| trifecta | im on xp | 01:23 |

| trifecta | how can i set conky to be always on the bottom | 01:24 |
| goffio | actafool_: or you have the default player, totem | 01:24 |

| caeroe | it's very choppy | 01:24 |
| Stanlin | Hi, May i play Crysis on Ubuntu? | 01:24 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: If you don't want it to be able to swap, and possibly slow down things, but still keep going if it runs out of ram, don't make a swap partition. With no swap space, the OS will just give low memory errors if you reach the limit | 01:25 |
| Kelen | is there any idea for cp command? copy more folders at once. | 01:25 |
| Joel_ | hi, i'm still having trouble with my wireless on my dell inspiron e1505 even after following the tutorial | 01:25 |
| trifecta | yes stanlin | 01:25 |
| mwilson_ | hey guys. Any idea why, after playihng a video, any video after that has funky colors? | 01:25 |
| trifecta | my swap is too big | 01:25 |
| caeroe | on the plus side i can see if my gaming performance is better with 180.18 drivers... | 01:25 |
| trifecta | im going to make it samller | 01:25 |
| gogzmer | mwilson_: too much acid?...oh wait, that would be videos sounding funky colors ;) | 01:25 |
| elliottm | i know my motherboard upports >3.2gb, because memtest86 said it was able to test like 3.7 at once | 01:25 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: I understand the usage of a swap file, I'm just wondering. Windows throws a huge hissy if you don't have any. I'll just throw 2GB to be safe. Should the root partion be set to primary? | 01:25 |
| Raerlynn | any reason why when formatting the drive it seems to stall out? It's a new hard drive | 01:26 |
| mwilson_ | gogzmer that's cute. | 01:26 |

| mwilson_ | now, any file, any player... BUNK | 01:26 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: linux doesn't care, and will use it if it has it and be quiet if it doesn't...and yes...but the others don't need to be logical, unless you need more than 4 partitions on the drive | 01:26 |
| trifecta | who uses conky here/ | 01:26 |
| Seiphas | I have a hard drive that's getting read errors on every single block with e2fsck. How screwed am I? | 01:26 |
| elliottm | Joel_: what card/chipset do you have? | 01:27 |
| caeroe | hate to have to boot windows just to watch a video | 01:27 |
| Stanlin | trifecta: do you have any guide that makes that possible? | 01:27 |
| kingxkobra | will someone help me get a 45 or 50 | 01:27 |
| trifecta | stanlin | 01:27 |
| goffio | mwilson_, well at least that one clue, you will have to check to video libs/drivers for errors | 01:27 |
| trifecta | go on | 01:27 |
| gogzmer | mwilson_: any other vid players do it? Is it only limited to certain vid encodings? | 01:27 |
| Joel_ | the broadcom 1390 | 01:27 |
| trifecta | try wine or winex in google | 01:27 |
| elliottm | caeroe: in KDE, kaffeine is a great player, it hasn't failed me yet | 01:27 |
| trifecta | should be a tutorial | 01:27 |
| david_28 | trifecta: I updated my system and it seems to work again | 01:27 |
| trifecta | hmm | 01:28 |
| kingxkobra | 50 or 45 for 4 1 mnths | 01:28 |
| goffio | mwilson_, try putting the progs on verbose logging, check logs | 01:28 |
| trifecta | idk david_28 that's really weird | 01:28 |
| Joel_ | and Cygnus__ : :-P | 01:28 |
| caeroe | if i could rip the streams to FLV it'd play fine, i can't though | 01:28 |
| Halitech | Seiphas, very, got any vaseline? | 01:28 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: so, should my swap file and whatnot be logical or physical? And what's the difference anyway? | 01:28 |
| caeroe | kinda borked, i hate xp but i like watching Hulu at fullscreen and high rez | 01:28 |
| trifecta | caeroe, im on X64 and i see all flash vids fine | 01:28 |

| trifecta | especially when playing "HD" youtube vids.. | 01:30 |

| CaneToad | hischild I've made some progress.. turns out the alsa volume was down, and the "Test" buttons don't turn it up... I'm still not able to use audio with skype.... symptoms from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/273693 | 01:30 |
| caeroe | i can download youtube, not hulu vids though... last i tried... | 01:31 |
| inktri | !hostname | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 01:31 |
| hashbrowns | Can someone help me correctly setup GRUB for dualbooting XP x64 and Ubuntu 64bit? I've tried several guides but I don't quite understand them. | 01:31 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: sorry, Primary, not Physical... | 01:31 |
| w3wsrmn | kingxkobra: You make absolutely no sense. If you need Ubuntu related help, ask. | 01:31 |
| Cygnus__ | but I should keep them all primary? | 01:31 |

| gogzmer | boxefaq|off: which default? | 01:31 |
| trifecta | one with ub and one with win? | 01:31 |
| kingxkobra | oh im in the wrong room aint i | 01:31 |
| hashbrowns | triefecta: three hdds but ubuntu and windows are on the same physical drive | 01:32 |
| trifecta | oh | 01:32 |
| boxefaq|off | gogzmer, ubuntu 8.10 w/gnome | 01:32 |
| elliottm | I'm running 64-bit kubuntu, and I have 4gb of ram installed, but linux is only seeing 3.2gb of it. I ran memtest86 on moth modules individusally, and there were no errors. I know my motherboard support it, so what's the problem? | 01:32 |
| goffio | boxefaq|off: like 4G i think | 01:32 |
| kingxkobra | srry guys | 01:32 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: If you can, I would say so | 01:32 |
| trifecta | you have to make two partitions | 01:32 |
| trifecta | obviously | 01:32 |
| caeroe | joeb3_: i can too, just fullscreen is choppy. it seems better in 180.18 nvidia drivers though... good enough i think now | 01:32 |
| killerbyte | please tell me what is the best way to mount internal disk file systems so that my user account can write to it? | 01:32 |
| trifecta | uh i havent done it in along time. i use to seperate drives | 01:32 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: I've done that. windows is on partition 1 and ubuntu is on like 5 or something. | 01:33 |
| killerbyte | I have 2 file systems I want to read and write to at the moment | 01:33 |
| trifecta | and set the ubuntu drive to master and the windows drive to GRUB boot options | 01:33 |
| elliottm | Joel_: I wish i could help you, i did a lot of stuff with wireless last year, but nothing with broadcom stuff | 01:33 |
| trifecta | you need to make it so that GRUB is on the default boot drive | 01:33 |
| goffio | killerbyte, what FSs? | 01:33 |
| Stanlin | how to mount an ISO image? | 01:33 |
| killerbyte | both fat32 | 01:34 |
| killerbyte | goffio, | 01:34 |
| trifecta | and then add an option to boot to the windows partition in GRUB | 01:34 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: how do I do that? | 01:34 |
| trifecta | eh, lemme look around | 01:34 |
| killerbyte | goffio, sda2 and sda5 i think | 01:34 |
| hischild | CaneToad, checking bug. Wasn't skype OSS? | 01:35 |
| arthur | what is a good backup tool from the repositories ? | 01:35 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: I was following this guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo but i dont understand Restore the boot sector e.g. dd if=/media/hda/mbr.bin of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 | 01:35 |
| goffio | killerbyte: i would do that with mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /pathto/mountpoint | 01:35 |
| gogzmer | arthur: cp | 01:35 |
| gogzmer | :) | 01:35 |
| arthur | lol | 01:35 |
| killerbyte | goffio, only root can do that i thought? | 01:35 |
| trifecta | man, i don't know, it was so long ago i forgot how i did it :( | 01:35 |
| boxefaq|off | gogzmer, 4 gigs ? | 01:35 |
| killerbyte | goffio, no? | 01:35 |
| goffio | killerbyte: yes, sorry prepend a "sudo" before all | 01:35 |
| goffio | it'll ask for your paswd | 01:36 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: do you know anyone that is good with dualboot setups? | 01:36 |
| CaneToad | hischild, I have not much knowhow about the relationship of OSS and ALSA and how different software uses them....are they just two separate APIs that are supposed to be able to be used side by side, OSS predating ALSA? | 01:36 |
| gogzmer | boxefaq|off: huh? Size of the default gui install? sounds about right | 01:36 |
| arthur | i noticed there are a few in the universe, wasnted easy gui one.... | 01:36 |
| straterra | Does wubi function like a normal ubuntu installation? | 01:36 |
| trifecta | i dont like having two OSs on one physical disk | 01:36 |
| gogzmer | CaneToad: I think that is true, yes (at least that is how my machine seems to be using them) | 01:36 |
| trifecta | i dont know anybody | 01:37 |
| goffio | CaneToad, OSS is an older interface to audio hardware, ALSA is newer but mantains a subsystem that emulates it for older software | 01:37 |
| trifecta | try different guides | 01:37 |
| killerbyte | goffio, root account only has write access though | 01:37 |
| caeroe | bah... still too choppy in hi-rez fullscreen on hulu, i still need to boot xp for it then | 01:37 |
| Stanlin | trifecta: darling, how to install unreal tournament 3 on linux?? i cant find a guide on google | 01:37 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: Well I chose to set it up like this because of read/write performance OS on one HDD games on another and recorded footage on the thrid. | 01:37 |
| * deeri`pening brb mandiin wnet .... | 01:37 | |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: chown to whichever user you want to give access to, or chmod to something that gives them access | 01:37 |
| goffio | killerbyte: add -o user | 01:38 |
| hischild | CaneToad, you run a 64bit system? | 01:38 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, what does chmod do? | 01:38 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: do you know what "Restore the boot sector e.g. dd if=/media/hda/mbr.bin of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1" means from that guide I linked you? | 01:39 |
| trifecta | oh restoring the boot sector is just to restore the old boot sector you backed up | 01:39 |
| hischild | CaneToad, google a bit about OSS and ALSA, long story to explain that | 01:39 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: chmod alters the permissions of the file/directory....man chmod will give you more info | 01:39 |
| goffio | killerbyte: if you want to do all that from /etc/fstab the entire line would be like the following | 01:39 |
| bhsx | does anyone know how to boot a usb install of 8.10 in vbox? or qemu even? | 01:39 |
| CaneToad | hischild, no 32 | 01:39 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: What is this about extended partiions and their creation? | 01:39 |
| gogzmer | !chmod | 01:39 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 01:39 |
| bhsx | instead of rebooting into the usb install... | 01:39 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: how would I do that? | 01:39 |
| Stanlin | bhsx: Virtual machines doesnt support USB booting | 01:39 |
| trifecta | i think dd is just the command | 01:39 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: In the installer? | 01:40 |
| bhsx | you can boot usb with qemu, if i just boot the iso off it, for example | 01:40 |
| goffio | /dev/sda2 /pathto/mountpoint vfat user 0 0 | 01:40 |
| Halitech | bhsx, take a look at mobalivecd if you want to do it from windows | 01:40 |
| trifecta | those are the commands | 01:40 |
| bhsx | thanks, i'll google that | 01:40 |
| hashbrowns | trifecta: okay. | 01:40 |
| bluntz | it would be neat if man pages could be embedded in the irc channel | 01:41 |
| trifecta | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 01:41 |
| gogzmer | bluntz: I am sure there is some bot somewhere that does that | 01:41 |
| trifecta | stanlin i dont know | 01:41 |
| bluntz | handy too | 01:41 |
| trifecta | ill look | 01:41 |
| gogzmer | bluntz: but I wouldn't want all of that in here...to much info, and often very long | 01:41 |
| gogzmer | bluntz: but a PM bot would be cool | 01:41 |
| bhsx | what about the file structure of the usb install? shouldn't it be virtualizeable? | 01:41 |
| bluntz | yup | 01:42 |
| Stanlin | booting from USB on VM is impossible | 01:42 |
| bluntz | but wood it b a bot that dreamed it was a man? | 01:42 |
| hischild | CaneToad, pastebin the output if you run skype from a terminal please. | 01:42 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, goffio is there a way to mount it with 1 command so that my user account can write to the file system? | 01:42 |
| Torgoton | How long should a netboot install take after selecting a mirror? I selected one 40 minutes ago... zzzzzz | 01:42 |
| trifecta | Stanlin, isnt there a linux port for UT3 | 01:42 |
| trifecta | ? | 01:42 |
| goffio | gogzmer,bluntz: besides isn't it easier to type it in a terminal ? | 01:42 |
| Halitech | Torgoton, dpends on the mirror you selected and the connection speed | 01:43 |
| trifecta | I would check on the UT3 forums | 01:43 |
| Stanlin | trifecta: nope :( we are waiting 2 years already | 01:43 |
| arktvrvs | how to i allow directory listin in apache? ive done it before but ubuntu's layout of its configs it pretty botched imho | 01:43 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, which is better to use? chmod or chown | 01:43 |
| RabidLockerGnome | hey guys, using 8.10, have a geforce fx 5200, installed driver, restarted, direct rendering is enabled, but compiz won't stat | 01:43 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: after you have it mounted, run chmod 777 <dir it's mounted to> and that will do it | 01:43 |
| RabidLockerGnome | start* | 01:43 |
| bluntz | hehe was wonderin when youd say it | 01:43 |
| bluntz | hehe | 01:43 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: Depends, chown is usually better, but it is more of a security issue than anything... | 01:43 |
| Torgoton | Halitech: I have a VERY slow machine too. Any way to tell what it's doing? The alt-f4 log doesn't have any activity for 40 minutes. top is not available. | 01:43 |
| goffio | killerbyte, well yes: this would be the command: "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /pathto/mountpoint -o user" | 01:43 |
| killerbyte | goffio, thank you | 01:44 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: if it is just you using the machine, and you have taken all other security precautions, like firewalls, etc, to protect from attack, either is fine | 01:44 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, thank you | 01:44 |
| Halitech | Torgoton, hard to say then, I recall when I installed on a P266 laptop with 96 meg of ram it took quite a while to install | 01:44 |

| trifecta | yikes, that suck Stanlin | 01:45 |
| trifecta | sucks* | 01:45 |
| Stanlin | trifecta: i know darling | 01:45 |

| results | anyone know how to get wine to see serial port on 8.04 | 01:45 |
| killerbyte | goffio, that command gives error | 01:45 |
| Torgoton | Halitech: So far it hasn't really started to install... it started the network, did DHCP, asked for a mirror.... then... nothing. Is there anything I can do to check on it? | 01:45 |
| killerbyte | goffio, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, | 01:45 |
| Gun_Smoke | gogzmer, 222MB worth today just didn't seem right. | 01:45 |
| Cygnus__ | gogzmer: Alright. 20 GB root, 20GB home, 2GB swap. | 01:46 |

| Torgoton | Halitech: bluntz: I have no CD drive. I installed DOS and moved over the netboot files on floppies. eesh. | 01:46 |
| Halitech | Torgoton, sit back and pop a few beers | 01:47 |
| goffio | killerbyte: no sorry if i wasn't clear about it. user is the name of the switch, put it literally without replacing it with your username | 01:47 |
| trifecta | those are the two ways you get windows games running in linux | 01:47 |
| Cygnus__ | if it doesn't work, I nuke the disk and start over. That's why I'm doing it on a fresh drive. I can't loose anything if it messes itself up. | 01:47 |
| CaneToad | hischild, as per workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/273693 I've created /etc/ld.so.conf.d/alsa32.conf and run sudo ldconfig and now skype runs and stays running. Before that, certain operations would cause it to spontaneously exit with error Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so | 01:47 |
| Torgoton | Halitech: Thanks. I'll just sleep on it. | 01:47 |
| bluntz | I used the boot floppies | 01:47 |
| r0ny | hi is it possible for me top downgrade using apt-get | 01:47 |
| killerbyte | goffio, oh right | 01:47 |
| goffio | killerbyte: it is just an option to mount for enabling user (non root) write access | 01:47 |
| Torgoton | bluntz: Ubuntu has boot floppies? | 01:47 |
| bluntz | slid in my wireless card | 01:47 |
| Halitech | Torgoton, you could have gotten the boot floppies and installed that way instead of installing DOS | 01:47 |
| gogzmer | Cygnus__: it's always a nice feeling to know you can do that with clean installs | 01:47 |
| Torgoton | Halitech: What boot floppies? | 01:47 |

| jasunto | i need help with a ufw syntax | 01:50 |
| killerbyte | goffio, ok thanks | 01:50 |

| Torgoton | Halitech: I do have a differently-calibrated sense of fun. | 01:55 |
| Halitech | Torgoton, so I see | 01:55 |
| Torgoton | gogzmer: It had a VESA TSR for Windows 95 support. ugh. | 01:55 |
| killerbyte | goffio, ok thanks | 01:55 |
| ozgurgerilla | Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please? | 01:55 |
| shingi | Could somebody please help me with Totem player | 01:55 |
| goffio | killerbyte: after the -o change the "user" option for this: "iocharset=utf8,umask=000 | 01:55 |
| nwillettjeffries | @shingi what's the problem? | 01:55 |
| shingi | When playing videos (.mov), when I pause the video and then click play to resume playing the totem video player goes blank and I have to close the application and open it again. | 01:55 |
| goffio | killerbyte: (without double quotes) | 01:55 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: ok, to get write permisions on that directory, run sudo chmod 777...that gives full permissions to everyone on the system for that directory...add -R to make it recursive | 01:56 |
| shingi | I mean I get a black screen although the sound will be comming through | 01:56 |
| gogzmer | goffio: using umask is cheating :) real admins only use chmod | 01:56 |
| nwillettjeffries | @shingi hmm...obligatory basic questions. You have the appropriate codecs installed | 01:56 |
| r0ny | onetinsoldier: ok | 01:56 |
| russ | Hi, can somebody help getting digital video capture to work with my Dell Inspiron 1420 1394 interface? | 01:56 |
| shingi | hmm, thats a good question. Thought that maybe since its playing the video then the codecs must be there | 01:57 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, sudo chmod 777 /media/1 -R didnt give me write access either | 01:57 |
| nwillettjeffries | so it does play at least briefly? | 01:57 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: did the permissions change? | 01:57 |
| killerbyte | no | 01:57 |
| onetinsoldier | r0ny: what i am wondering is, where you will get the older version from... i'm thinking i might be wrong about apt-get. you might have to use aptitude | 01:58 |
| goffio | killerbyte: gogzmer, i'm no expert (just found it on a quick google search) but why is it cheating? | 01:58 |
| reportingsjr | Hi, I just installed ubuntu studio and it said it was added to grub, but when I started up my computer again it said loading grub... and started up normal ubuntu without showing the grub menu. What should I do? | 01:58 |
| gogzmer | goffio: is it mounting as read only? | 01:58 |
| r0ny | onetinsoldier: how can i do the same with aptitude | 01:58 |
| gogzmer | goffio: it was just a joke...it is the smarter, more elegant way of doing it | 01:58 |
| shingi | It plays the video ok and I have this problem when I pause the video or open another window e.g. home folder | 01:58 |
| MasterShrek | how do i reconfigure grub? my vista partition seems to have gone missing | 01:58 |
| nwillettjeffries | ok so you do have the codecs then. Are you running compiz? | 01:58 |
| goffio | goffio: but how can be smarter to alter the perms after mounting than to pass an option to mount? | 01:59 |
| ozgurgerilla | Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please? | 01:59 |
| shingi | no | 01:59 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, any idea what is wrong? | 01:59 |
| shingi | I am running 8.10 | 01:59 |
| goffio | goffio: what i try to say is, what advantages does it have? | 01:59 |
| onetinsoldier | r0ny: you start aptitude, press / to start a seach on the package name. then when you have it highlighted, press Enter, then i think at the bottom it will show the available versions | 01:59 |
| gogzmer | goffio: I was saying your way, with umask, was better, more elegant :) | 01:59 |
| onetinsoldier | search* | 01:59 |
| nwillettjeffries | ok so it's not compiz then. Is it when you open any window at all? are there any other programs that involve video playback running (firefox with flash, etc...) | 01:59 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: the only thing I can think of is that it is getting mounted as read only | 02:00 |
| shingi | Its like it does not want me to pause it or open any other window while the video is playing | 02:00 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: otherwise, chmod should work, and you should be able to write to it as root | 02:00 |
| BlueLaguna | Has anyone here been able to use VirtualBox with VRDP on Ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| killerbyte | gogzmer, it stays -rwxr-xr-x after chmod anyway | 02:00 |
| onetinsoldier | r0ny: then you can use the down-arrow to go down and highlight the various versions. press + to mark for installation | 02:00 |
| shingi | There are no any other applications running that involve video | 02:01 |
| goffio | gogzmer: ROFL, i wasn't gettin you pal | 02:01 |
| nwillettjeffries | shingi, those are the obvious issue I could think of...someone else might know. I'm trying to figure it out right now but no guarantees... | 02:01 |
| onetinsoldier | r0ny: hen you press g start start download and installation | 02:01 |
| Raerlynn | hrm question: after installation, I let the machine reboot, removed the live disc, but it just goes to a blank screen | 02:01 |
| Raerlynn | any ideas? | 02:01 |
| nwillettjeffries | is it just .mov files or all video files? | 02:01 |
| gogzmer | killerbyte: right, so the only thing I can think of is that it is being mounted as red-only, which is preventing its permissions from allowing anyone to write...but somehow roots come in as able to write, even though it is mounted in such a way that it cant | 02:02 |
| ozgurgerilla | Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please? | 02:02 |
| goffio | Raerlynn, did you try to switch to a console? that would give you the clue if it is only a video problem | 02:02 |
| === Cygnus__ is now known as Cygnus___ | ||

| goffio | yup | 02:02 |
| Varth | I'm having a problem burning a video DVD with Brasero. Would anyone be interested in helping me out? | 02:02 |
| shingi | so far I have only tried it with .mov files because those are the only i have got | 02:02 |
| r0ny | onetinsoldier: thanks | 02:03 |
| nwillettjeffries | hmm it would be nice to know if it's just .mov files and also whether it's just totem. Like will vlc run it? | 02:03 |
| goffio | Raerlynn: what about booting into rescue mode from grub, then take a look at /var/log/syslog? | 02:03 |
| Raerlynn | I don't even get a grub menu | 02:03 |
| shingi | let me install vlc and see if i still have this issue | 02:03 |
| nwillettjeffries | ok | 02:03 |
| Raerlynn | Just bios, Post, and then blank | 02:03 |
| onetinsoldier | r0ny: yw.. good luck.also, you might have older version in /var/cache/apt/archives which you can use 'dpkg' to install | 02:03 |
| Raerlynn | trying to boot to live disc | 02:04 |
| reportingsjr | Hi, I just installed ubuntu studio and it said it was added to grub, but when I started up my computer again it said loading grub... and started up normal ubuntu without showing the grub menu. What should I do? | 02:04 |
| goffio | Raerlynn, ah then it isn't even booting | 02:04 |
| Raerlynn | it's wierd. has no problem with windows, and I really want a Linux desktop T_T | 02:04 |
| cmdbbq | is it possible to have the "window list" panel applet show only icons, and not the names of windows? | 02:05 |
| Raerlynn | won't boot to a live CD | 02:05 |
| Raerlynn | or Live USB drive | 02:05 |
| nwillettjeffries | @raerlynn how much ram you running? | 02:05 |
| adrian007 | Raerlynn: does your hard disk have an operating system on it allready? | 02:05 |
| Raerlynn | 2GB | 02:05 |
| Raerlynn | and no it shouldn't | 02:05 |
| elliottm | I'm running 64-bit kubuntu, and I have 4gb of ram installed, but linux is only seeing 3.2gb of it. I ran memtest86 on both modules individually, and there were no errors. I know my motherboard support it, so what's the problem? | 02:05 |
| Raerlynn | previously Windows Vista, did a complete reformat | 02:05 |

| corollax | World of Warcraft fits your description quite well. | 02:06 |
| crimsun | corollax: meaning mozilla-plugin-vlc ? | 02:06 |
| nwillettjeffries | @shing kk great. I've had similar problems with totem in the past... vlc or mplayer are the way to go... | 02:06 |
| Raerlynn | But when I tried a dual boot, the status bar froze | 02:06 |
| corollax | crimsun: I shall have to check that out | 02:06 |
| Raerlynn | Tried a reboot to the USB drive, and did a complete reinstall | 02:07 |
| goffio | Raerlynn: that is crazy...you mean it booted to livecd but after install it doesn't anymore? | 02:07 |
| Raerlynn | that's it | 02:07 |
| shingi | Thanks heaps for your help | 02:07 |
| nwillettjeffries | no problem. have fun... | 02:07 |

| nwillettjeffries | @varth is anyone helping you? | 02:08 |
| Raerlynn | hmm | 02:08 |
| ubuntu | guys, i need help installing ubuntu. Its this swap file i dont know how much i should put into it. | 02:08 |
| Varth | Nope. | 02:08 |
| corollax | crazy2k: world of warcraft. It runs spectacularly in wine. | 02:08 |
| corollax | ubuntu: How much RAM do you have? How much HD do you have? | 02:08 |
| Raerlynn | what's "alright" | 02:08 |
| nwillettjeffries | @varth ok so brasero won't burn a dvd? | 02:08 |
| Raerlynn | I force a boot to whichever device I want by pressing TAB during boot to pull a boot menu | 02:08 |
| ubuntu | corollax: I have 4 gigs of ram and i have 8 gigs left that i can dedicate to linux | 02:08 |
| gogzmer | ubuntu: and do you even want it to swap? | 02:09 |
| corollax | ubuntu: With 4 gigs of RAM, you may not even need a swap partition. | 02:09 |
| gogzmer | ubuntu: you don't need a swap file | 02:09 |
| nwillettjeffries | @ubuntu if it's a laptop you'll probably want a swap file if you want to suspend I think...can someone confirm that? | 02:09 |
| ubuntu | you guys sure?, and what about this /root thing how much gigs should i put into that? | 02:09 |
| Varth | nwillettjeffries: Yeah. It lets me add the files and everything, but once I click the burn button on the bottom right and the options dialog comes up, it won't let me actually initiate the burn by clicking the burn button in the dialog. | 02:09 |
| bluntz | small swap if any | 02:09 |
| corollax | nwillettjeffries -- I'l look into it. | 02:09 |
| goffio | Raerlynn, allright would be "boot from CD before trying the hard disks". But if you can get to a menu from POST and select the device from there that's allright too | 02:09 |
| elliottm | ubuntu I usually give 20gb to "/", and the rest to "/home" | 02:10 |
| cmdbbq | elliottm, may i pm you? | 02:10 |
| elliottm | in separate partitions | 02:10 |
| gogzmer | ubuntu: root should be about 20 GB, especially if you are new to linux and want to play around installing other random applications | 02:10 |
| Varth | nwillettjeffries: I've tried pretty much all of the options, but the button remains disabled. | 02:10 |
| mgolisch | it has to be as big as the memory for suspend to disk(hibernate) | 02:10 |
| Raerlynn | yeah, that works, then it doesn't go anywhere after the partitions | 02:10 |
| elliottm | cmdbbq: sure | 02:10 |
| corollax | ubuntu: For security purposes, you should allocate about 1 gig to /var. | 02:10 |
| === Kudak_ is now known as Kudak | ||
| Rawbutt | hello... i have 1 quick questions | 02:10 |
| elliottm | corollax: why? | 02:10 |
| corollax | elliottm: Log files go there -- you don't want excessive log files clogging up your root partition. | 02:10 |
| corollax | ellittm: This is ESPECIALLY true if you're doing a server. | 02:11 |
| nwillettjeffries | that's odd varth. basic questions initally...dvd is in drive? dvd is rewritable or has not been written to before | 02:11 |
| ubuntu | well, i have 16 gigs that i can use on linux because the real partition where i save all my music and stuff is around 450 gigs | 02:11 |
| goffio | Raerlynn: if you can't boot from livecd / usb, you won't be able to rescue your system imho | 02:11 |
| thiebaude1 | wow | 02:11 |
| elliottm | wouldn't make sense to mount /var/long there then? | 02:11 |
| Cygnus___ | Okay, so I got my install up and running, but the display I have plugged into the secondary port on my GPU is flippin' out | 02:11 |
| Varth | nwillettjeffries: DVD is in drive. It's DVD+R. | 02:11 |
| corollax | ubuntu: I'm checking on suspend issues. At present, I'd advise you to skip swap entirely. | 02:11 |
| gogzmer | corollax: unless you don't care about logs, and just pipe them all away to null :D | 02:11 |
| Raerlynn | yeah, last time this happened I pulled the drive out, slaved it to my desktop and reformatted | 02:11 |
| ubuntu | ok | 02:11 |
| corollax | elliottm: At that point, it's really more academic. | 02:11 |
| nwillettjeffries | kk varth let me look into it | 02:11 |
| ubuntu | thx every one | 02:11 |
| Raerlynn | then simply reinstalled windows from there | 02:11 |

| Rawbutt | is that correct | 02:12 |
| Rawbutt | ? | 02:12 |
| nwillettjeffries | oh and varth, is it just some files you're burning or a disk image or video?... | 02:12 |
| corollax | elliottm: I have one for /, one for /var, one for swap, and one for /home | 02:12 |
| bluntz | atheros needs madwifi | 02:12 |
| goffio | Raerlynn: i'd took that as a sign my mobo/controller is broken | 02:12 |
| Varth | nwillettjeffries: An .avi file. | 02:12 |
| Raerlynn | hope not, this my laptop =/ | 02:13 |
| gogzmer | corollax: pretty much all well behaved applications that one will run on a server can be set to auto-rotate the log after it gets so big, or a certain ammount of time | 02:13 |
| nwillettjeffries | kk and internal or external disc burner? | 02:13 |
| goffio | :S | 02:13 |
| Raerlynn | a mobo replacement is not an option | 02:13 |
| gogzmer | corollax: if not, it is easy to set up a quota to monitor it without wasting partitions | 02:13 |
| Rawbutt | yay i got it working thanks | 02:13 |

| justmeyogs | i also get an error when live cd is loading when it detects the laptop is a IBM thinkpad | 02:17 |
| gogzmer | ssh-ing into a server and configuring whatever service you are trying to run often yields better results than attempting to go through a gui...linux is a config-file driven world, and going that route almost always yields the best results | 02:17 |
| cmdbbq | in XFCE there is a way to instruct the window list to display only icons, is this possible in gnome? | 02:17 |

| ruhaan_jslip | anythign with a simple gui wud do | 02:17 |
| nwillettjeffries | @varth not really sure how to fix this. Have you tried maybe a different program to burn it? | 02:17 |
| kdogg | justmeyogs, with the latest version hardy you can use the main disc, but 7.04 you will need alternate cd | 02:17 |
| kdogg | hello m working on a hp a1010n. When I reboot after install, login, it just hangs at a blank screen with the cursor showing. | 02:18 |
| cmdbbq | in other words, the window list applet shows the icons of all the open windows, but doesn't print the names after the icons | 02:18 |
| Varth | nwillettjeffries: No. Do you have one that you would recommend? | 02:18 |
| justmeyogs | ahh ok thanks kdogg...I will have to download it then | 02:18 |
| justmeyogs | whats the ram requirements for hardy? | 02:18 |
| kdogg | justmeyogs, i meant intrepid* | 02:18 |

| gogzmer | ssh is trivial to set up, not just easy | 02:23 |

| Cpudan80 | A21 ? | 02:26 |
| Cpudan80 | ouch | 02:26 |
| Cpudan80 | that is old | 02:26 |
| zsquareplusc | goffio: apt-cache should still work ;-) | 02:26 |
| nwillettjeffries | @justmeyogs xubuntu would be more lightweight if you're concerned about old hardware | 02:26 |
| adrian007 | justmeyogs: the lightest gui would be xubuntu, but i would probably use a server install - ie no gui on that machine | 02:26 |

| robd | I'm looking for a good open source blog package. What would you guys suggest? (I've heard a lot about WordPress...) | 02:26 |
| Org-Mode | that would be xubuntu | 02:26 |
| Cpudan80 | justmeyogs: KDE uses more resources than gnome | 02:27 |
| exodus_ms | [NetSkier, look in 'Updates' Release upgrade should be changed to "Normal Release' | 02:27 |

| Cpudan80 | justmeyogs: XFCE | 02:27 |

| goffio | ruhaan_jslip: as for you GUI question, you always have webmin, but maybe it is too much | 02:31 |
| hischild | D3RGPS31, only removing a part seems rather useless doesn't it | 02:31 |
| ruhaan_jslip | webmin will kill my server lol | 02:31 |
| hischild | !webmin | goffio | 02:31 |
| ubottu | goffio: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 02:31 |

| Cygnus___ | If I'm using NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver (Version 177) do I need to also install Version 173? | 02:32 |
| wiretapt | how do i install the auto .deb installer | 02:32 |
| Torgoton | cQ: There should be two sections. Shockwave is not supported in linux. If you don't see flash below that, then you don't have flash installed. | 02:32 |
| onetinsoldier | wiretapt: you just measn install a .deb package? | 02:32 |
| goffio | hischild, yes but it has all the features (webm*N) has? | 02:32 |

| FAJ | !flash | Torgoton | 02:33 |
| ubottu | Torgoton: 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 | 02:33 |
| hischild | goffio, what, ebox? | 02:33 |
| wiretapt | well normally when u double click a .deb package, ubuntu will open a dialogue that installs it | 02:33 |
| Torgoton | Thanks FAJ, but I have flash. | 02:33 |
| wiretapt | i don't have that in crunchbang | 02:33 |
| goffio | hischild: yes | 02:33 |
| FAJ | Torgoton: o oops :P | 02:33 |
| hischild | goffio, never tried webmin. Just don't complain when you use it, it's highly unsupported and unrecommended. | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | wiretapt: ok, on command line it's... sudo dpkg -i <package> | 02:33 |
| hischild | goffio, webmin that is. | 02:34 |
| Torgoton | FAJ: No sweat. | 02:34 |
| wiretapt | oh is it not included in the openbox shell | 02:34 |
| potwak | why did it says "stack smashing detected" when i executed my C program? | 02:34 |

| derek | I cannot "see" my ubuntu machine from my windows box or macbook, cannot ping it, cannot see samba shares, etc... any idea as to what might be blocking it on the box? | 02:35 |
| gogzmer | potwak: austin powers has infiltrated your compiler? :) | 02:35 |
| onetinsoldier | wiretapt: are you asking me? i don't know. i just know dpkg is included on the command line no matter where you go. | 02:35 |
| Torgoton | cQ: what browser are you using? | 02:35 |
| hischild | !worksforme | goffio | 02:35 |
| ubottu | goffio: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 02:35 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cQ you can see video because you do have a version of flash installed. The issue is that it's an older version. | 02:35 |

| nwillettjeffries | @cq might have been a problem when you installed it. You could try installing it from the medibuntu repositories... | 02:38 |

| ruhaan_jslip | joeb3_: yes | 02:40 |
| ruhaan_jslip | it can ping any oS | 02:40 |

| nwillettjeffries | @ hashbrowns i can help you | 02:48 |
| goffio | hashbrowns, how is your setup? | 02:48 |
| joeb3_ | derek, wifi or using cables? | 02:48 |
| cQ | firefox 46.7mb | 02:49 |
| nwillettjeffries | @Cygnus you running 8.10? | 02:49 |
| derek | joeb3_: wifi. This problem started happening when I moved the linux box to wifi too. It worked when cabled. | 02:49 |
| zhaowm | who use the Java to develop erp software? | 02:49 |
| cQ | gnome system monitor,CPU=8 | 02:49 |
| Thyrif | heya guys | 02:49 |
| hashbrowns | nwillettjeffries: did you get my PM? | 02:49 |
| bazhang | zhaowm, better to ask in ##java | 02:50 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: I am indeed. | 02:50 |
| zhaowm | thank you. | 02:50 |
| joeb3_ | derek, you can't ping the gateway, which is the router. Does 'iwconfig' show you associated with the access point? | 02:50 |
| root__ | how can i disable my mouse wheel by editing xorg.conf? | 02:50 |
| Thyrif | alright, i have a (hopefully) quick question | 02:50 |
| Taladan | Ahhh, I've got it. had the wrong port settings in there. | 02:50 |
| Taladan | working now. | 02:50 |
| cQ | i never seen my swap partition been usage.it is working or not needed? | 02:51 |
| Thyrif | how is compiz making a mess out of my titlebars on my ubuntu8.10 (nvidia) | 02:51 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cQ i don't know enough to tell you how to edit the x.org config files but have you tried the gui setup. Should be under preferences> screen resolution or monitors or something like that | 02:51 |
| bazhang | cQ, wont be used much if at all these days | 02:51 |
| nwillettjeffries | @sry i mean @cygnus there | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Thyrif, which window decorator | 02:51 |
| cQ | i use res=1280x800 | 02:52 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cQ yeah swap is just meant to help when you max out your RAM usage and need more memory. with 2gb of RAM won't need much... | 02:52 |
| Thyrif | bahzang, decorator, you mean gnome? | 02:52 |
| bazhang | Thyrif, could be gtk-window-decorator, emerald | 02:52 |
| cQ | but i still faced with slow performance | 02:52 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillettjeffries: Yeah, I tried that, but I'm not really getting anywhere with the Screen Resolutions thing | 02:52 |
| Thyrif | ohyeah, i tried to get emerald too, but that didnt make a difference | 02:52 |
| bazhang | cQ, check top to see what is using cpu | 02:53 |
| derek | joeb3_: looks fine to me. and btw, it does have a solid internet connection (SSH'd in via the Macbook) http://pastebin.com/d50584b4c | 02:53 |
| Thyrif | it wasnt installed at first | 02:53 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus hmm is it detecting the two monitors at all? | 02:53 |
| hashbrowns | nwilletjeffries: did you get my last few messages? | 02:53 |
| cQ | xorg | 02:53 |
| nwillettjeffries | @hashbrowns yeah sry didn't see em...hold on | 02:53 |
| bazhang | Thyrif, for an experts opinion on that /j #compiz-fusion | 02:53 |
| cQ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/91933/ | 02:53 |
| Thyrif | alright, maybe they' ll know more. thanks bazhang | 02:53 |
| Commie_Cary | omg | 02:54 |
| Commie_Cary | how do i TURN THAT OFF | 02:54 |
| Trenter | turn what off? | 02:54 |

| Commie_Cary | sorry! | 02:54 |
| OsamaK | Hello. I'm using Ubuntu on a live CD. I downloaded its updates last night, but when trying to install them, I got a 'Broken packages' error. I tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" gives dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0130' near line 1:newline in field name `#padding'. | 02:55 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillettjeffries: During boot, yes. I get GUI booting load bar... | 02:55 |
| mosiac | ok all i want to do is be able to put in a micro sd card and it be auto mounted no matter who the user is, how do i do that? | 02:55 |
| Cygnus___ | hmmm... maybe it's working now. | 02:55 |
| Cygnus___ | I just restarted. | 02:55 |
| zhaowm | 02:55 | |
| NetSkier | exodus_ms, I don't see " Release upgrade" in /etc/apt/sources.list. | 02:55 |
| amortvigil | does anyone know how to reboot or shutdown from the fish command shell? | 02:56 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus it's working? | 02:56 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: hello. i might be abot to help with that | 02:56 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillettjeffries: As soon as I get to the log in screen, the monitor on my secondary goes dead. | 02:56 |
| zhaowm | which are you from? | 02:56 |
| Cygnus___ | I tried switching the ports that my monitor was using. | 02:56 |
| phobiac | mosiac: You could add an fstab line to give that drive 777 permission, although 777 might be too high. | 02:56 |
| bazhang | zhaowm, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 02:56 |
| bazhang | amortvigil, which distro | 02:56 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus hmm so log in and open screen resolutions or a hardware manager and see if it's even detecting the second monitor at all | 02:56 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: great I have a presentation about Ubuntu I must be ready in one hour to show all Ubuntu's features. | 02:57 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: what response do you get from? --> ls -la /var/lib/dpkg/updates | 02:57 |
| mosiac | ok i understand edit fstab but after that you lose me | 02:57 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: ok, we'll try to hurry | 02:57 |
| phobiac | mosiac: chmod | 02:57 |
| joeb3_ | derek, sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 02:57 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: Hardware Testing? | 02:57 |
| phobiac | mosiac: It'd probably be safer to just give the drives permission to a group and add all the users you want to that group | 02:57 |
| Thyrif | oh bazhang, btw, im running the default human-theme | 02:58 |
| === kompi13 is now known as cewex_cute | ||
| hafash | Hi | 02:58 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: because I don't see Hardware manager | 02:58 |
| mosiac | how do i do that? | 02:58 |
| bazhang | Thyrif, did you try switching themes | 02:58 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91936/ | 02:58 |
| mosiac | or how can i change what group device permissions belong to? | 02:58 |
| phobiac | mosiac: It'd be in the fstab line. | 02:59 |
| joeb3_ | derek, try your pings now | 02:59 |
| phobiac | mosiac: Let me check the fstab docs | 02:59 |
| Ronux | Hey, I have a horribly noobish question. Been learning linux for the first time and well, i need the root pasword for su and i never made one during the instalation. | 02:59 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: ok, move thos to a temporary area. it should be safe to actually delete them, it's up to you. do you know how to do that? | 02:59 |
| mosiac | ok | 02:59 |
| bazhang | Ronux, use sudo | 02:59 |
| zsquareplusc | !sudo > Ronux | 02:59 |
| ubottu | Ronux, please see my private message | 02:59 |
| FAJ | Ronux: it's better to stay out of keeping root as an active user. | 02:59 |
| mosiac | one of my drives is listed in my fstab but the other isnt but when i click on the other drive it at least mounts | 02:59 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: not really :( | 03:00 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus hmm might not be installed by default, try screen resolutions instead. is it showing 2 monitors or just one? | 03:00 |
| phobiac | mosiac: Is the SD card drive in fstab? | 03:00 |
| mosiac | yeah | 03:00 |
| mker | I have a couple .pdf using the font Garamond which is not embedded and it looks really bad in Evince. How should I deal with this? Is there a way to make Evince show it better? Make it use an alternative font maybe? Make the pdf use an alternative font? What is the easiest way? | 03:00 |
| Thyrif | bazhang, well, after some trying, mostly the human-themes have problems | 03:00 |
| mosiac | its /dev/sdc1 | 03:00 |
| derek | joeb3_: Woo! I can ping & see my shares now. Thank you! Think eth0 will come back up when I reboot? | 03:00 |
| phobiac | mosiac: Okay, you should probably back up fstab before you do anything just to be safe | 03:00 |
| Cygnus___ | @nwillett: Just the one. Of course, I don't know what it's SUPPOSED to look like with two. | 03:00 |
| Ronux | Thanks guys, looks like you bot solved my problem. | 03:01 |
| joeb3_ | derek, yes. Did you assign it a static ip address? | 03:01 |
| mosiac | ok done | 03:01 |
| maldito | how can i convert rmvb to a avi? | 03:01 |
| derek | joeb3_: I don't think so. Where can I tell? | 03:01 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: ok... sudo mkdir /root/badupdates && sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* /root/badupdates | 03:01 |
| SlimeyPete | maldito: try transcode or mencoder | 03:01 |
| SlimeyPete | I think there are GUIs available if you need them | 03:01 |
| SlimeyPete | !transcode | 03:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about transcode | 03:01 |
| meoblast001 | my friend is trying to install ubuntu and his mouse wont move | 03:01 |
| SlimeyPete | ooh, really | 03:01 |
| maldito | where can i get them | 03:01 |
| joeb3_ | derek, is eth0 still plugged into the network? | 03:01 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: I may knew the problem. I have 0 Bytes space! Let me try free some of them. I'm sorry, I didn't note that. | 03:01 |
| SlimeyPete | ubottu is too new-fangled for transcode | 03:02 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:02 |
| derek | joeb3_: Nope | 03:02 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: roger | 03:02 |
| phobiac | mosiac: Hold on a second | 03:02 |
| mosiac | no prob i got lots of time | 03:02 |
| phobiac | mosiac: Are you trying to get this to work for a bunch of users or is it really just one? | 03:03 |
| bazhang | maldito, mencoder | 03:03 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus i think it might not be detecting the second monitor at all. which is odd because it clearly does during boot then doesn't when you hit the lolgin | 03:03 |
| zsquareplusc | OsamaK: apt-get clean to get some space back (all your old installed/upgraded packages) | 03:03 |
| v4vijayakumar | Hi, in case of hibernate, update manager is not automatically updating patches as expected. anyone noticed this ?? | 03:03 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: I freed 805 MB. 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' still doesn't work | 03:03 |
| mosiac | its just me | 03:03 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: ok... sudo mkdir /root/badupdates && sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* /root/badupdates | 03:03 |
| maldito | so after i download what i do? | 03:03 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: done | 03:04 |
| bluntz | anybody Know why Grab Display capture fails but overlay works in xawtv?? | 03:04 |
| Kurowsaki | hello | 03:04 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: Yeah. I mean, it's cloning the output to both displays | 03:04 |
| phobiac | mosiac: Do you know how to use pm? | 03:04 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: then... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:04 |

| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: working? | 03:04 |
| cdecarlo_ | Hi, I've got a Dell TrueMobile Wireless G card in my laptop, It has worked, quite well actually, but it has suddenly stopped? is there a way to check if the card is still working? | 03:04 |
| Cygnus___ | KurowsakI: The bootloader. It lets you load it. | 03:04 |
| phobiac | No, private messages. It's hard to keep track in this channel. | 03:04 |
| bazhang | maldito, there are a number of tutorials on the web (convert rmvb to avi ubuntu | 03:04 |
| mosiac | yeah i do heh | 03:04 |
| Kurowsaki | wut is it cygnus | 03:05 |
| maldito | i try to see one of those but i didnt find anything | 03:05 |
| bazhang | Kurowsaki, ask in #ubuntu-bots or #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 03:05 |
| Cygnus___ | Kuro: The Bootloader? It's the thing that allows Ubuntu to boot. Without it, you would have a BIOS. That's it. The end. Best app for Ubuntu. | 03:05 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus: even after you log in? | 03:05 |
| woli | does anybody have bomberclone? | 03:05 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91939/ | 03:05 |
| uber_noober | Kuro: use GRUB | 03:05 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: It clones the screen across both displays during boot, then as soon as I hit the log in screen, it only displays on whichever display is plugged into the primary port of my graphics card. | 03:06 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: ok.. try what it says... sudo apt-get -f install | 03:06 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus what graphics card/s your running? | 03:06 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: It isn't having trouble with the displays, it's even doing 1920x1080 res on my primary monitor. | 03:06 |
| Ronux | god, ubuntu makes vista feel like a whale in terms of performance | 03:07 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: It's just that the secondary never eveng ets a signal. | 03:07 |
| corollax | Ronux: Vista IS a whale. | 03:07 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: when that done, then to make sure you're all upgraded.. sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:07 |
| corollax | Ronux: Comparatively, Ubuntu is something of a large dog. Perhaps a mastiff. Ahh, good ol' puppy-linux. | 03:07 |
| maldito | rmvb is that same that rm? | 03:08 |
| Ronux | Ha well im still running vista, im using vmware to run linux. Really wanted to learn how to use it and possibly switch over some day. | 03:08 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91941/ | 03:08 |
| corollax | Ronux: Darnit, a proper distribution is slimmed down to nothing more than a command-line! And the only editor you have is Ed. | 03:08 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus hmm so what graphics cards are you running? | 03:08 |
| adrian007 | vista isn't too bad if you have a huge amount of ram in your system, i have the same setup as Ronux | 03:08 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: 7900GS | 03:08 |

| Cygnus___ | nwillett: It apparently isn't listed on the compatibility chart, but the 7900 is. | 03:09 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i would like to write a script that runs as root but that does not recquire a password (ie gksu). how can i do this? | 03:09 |

| mib_nj2u90d8 | i am trying to get my hotmail account integrated with thunderbird, i am lost with the server thing, can someone help please? | 03:09 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus so its a single card setup? | 03:09 |
| Ronux | I have 4gigs, got 512 set for ubuntu right now and its already faster then vista. | 03:09 |

| Cygnus___ | nwillett: Indeed it is. The 7900GS isn't listed explicitly, but the 7900GTX is. | 03:09 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: you're running a LiveCD? i don't think you can get an upgraded kernel on that.. hang on | 03:09 |
| bazhang | tylerknowsthis, the one built into gnome is fine | 03:09 |
| uber_noober | min_nj2..: Chek this out http://lifehacker.com/software/hotmail/check-hotmail-using-thunderbird-34583.php | 03:10 |
| tylerknowsthis | bazhang: which is? | 03:10 |
| mker | tylerknowsthis, the one that comes with ubuntu. just right click the iso and choose "write to disk" | 03:10 |
| bazhang | tylerknowsthis, right click burn to cd | 03:10 |
| Wicked | !mplayer | 03:10 |
| ubottu | mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs | 03:10 |
| uber_noober | min_nj2: use google first then ask questions | 03:10 |
| tylerknowsthis | ok, derr, thanks everybody | 03:10 |
| maldito | where can i get or isntall winMPG | 03:10 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: so should I update others and keep the kernal? | 03:10 |
| zsquareplusc | ezzieyguywuf: you can use visudo to configure if sudo asks for a password or not. you can have single apps w/o pass for example | 03:10 |
| bazhang | maldito, what is that | 03:10 |
| zelda | and please dont tell me to go to Pidgin, cause they told me to come here. | 03:11 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: i'm being called away. i'll be back i a minute | 03:11 |
| adrian007 | Cygnus___: i could be being silly here, but i thought that you had to have two entries in your xorg.conf file for the graphics card and monitor to make it work with multiple displays | 03:11 |
| nwillettjeffries | @cygnus this is pretty basic so i'm not convinced it will work but have you tried going into screen resolution and hitting hitting detect displays or checking the "mirror screens" box? | 03:11 |
| maldito | is a program to convert file to avi mpeg ant more | 03:11 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: ok | 03:11 |
| bazhang | maldito, check the appdb if it is a windows program | 03:11 |
| bazhang | !appdb | maldito | 03:11 |
| ubottu | maldito: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 03:11 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zsquareplusc: can you elaborate on that please? ideally i would like for the program to have root privaleges so that a command that usually recquires sudo in bash can just be run anyways in this script. does that make sense? | 03:11 |
| Cygnus___ | nwillett: I have. | 03:11 |

| goffio | Gun_Smoke, maybe it is some bad config, you can try renaming temporarily your homedir, making a new blank one with the same name, then login to gnome, you'll have your gnome/apps with all the defaults. | 03:19 |

| mn | Anyone know how I can get a copy of an OS to work after I cp it to another drive | 03:21 |
| zsquareplusc | ezzieyguywuf: start with the examples at the end. you can add a line to enable your user to run that specific script with sudo, but without asking for a pass | 03:21 |
| adrian007 | zelda: you could try using the log out applet instead of the user switcher applet | 03:21 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: as root, you are going to need to edit the 'status' file | 03:21 |
| sfer2 | ari_stress: I'm back! | 03:21 |
| mortici | in fstab do i need a line pointing to / or no? | 03:21 |
| DigitalFiz | mn dont think it really works like that, a lot of things have to be changed because the devs change and you needa mbr the drive | 03:22 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zsquareplusc: thanks! | 03:22 |
| sfer2 | and it did work for a new user, but my settings for firefox and thunderbird aren't being carried over even if i bring the folders over! | 03:22 |

| ezzieyguywuf | zsquareplusc: i'm gettin ready to read those examples, but quick question. after reading some of the man pages, i think i gathered that i can assign a directory in which all scripts will be given the right to run as sudo. did i understand that correctly cuz that'd be great | 03:23 |
| Ohmu | how can I have a file on a portable HDD that rm won't remove? | 03:24 |

| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: ok.. what Package is it for? | 03:25 |
| goffio | mn, you have to change where / is mounted to mount from the new device | 03:25 |

| hafash | yes rww | 03:25 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: Linux? | 03:25 |
| rww | Ohmu: not as far as I know. From what I've heard, it's not recommended to do so, either. I'm not sure of the details, though. | 03:26 |
| hafash | can't get a browser plugin to play it | 03:26 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: go up a little and tell me what the line --> Package: ...says | 03:26 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: it'll say something more than just Linux | 03:26 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: Package: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic | 03:26 |
| zsquareplusc | ezzieyguywuf: yes, that might be possible. or use a groups to control who can execute the selected scripts | 03:26 |
| mn | goffio: This is done in GRUB right? in the root=/dev/sda3 line right? | 03:26 |
| rww | hafash: hmm. Perhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272189 might help? | 03:27 |
| goffio | mn: yes, root is the line where you tell grub about the new partition | 03:27 |

| rww | hafash: the Applications preference pane is for downloaded files, not for playing stuff embedded in a webpage | 03:28 |
| mn | goffio: the GRUB config file is flawless. It boots. There are just problems with the permissions or something because it says "GDM cannot write to $HOME. Please contact your system administrator." | 03:28 |

| function1 | soo, pulseaudio sits on top of alsa, correct? | 03:29 |
| goffio | mn: what about fstab? have you put the new partition there? | 03:29 |
| zsquareplusc | function1: yes | 03:29 |
| corollax | function1: More or less. it's a hub for ALSA, ESD, OSS, among others. | 03:29 |
| mn | goffio: not manually. let me check it out right quick. That is /etc/fstab, correct? | 03:29 |
| goffio | mn: yes | 03:30 |
| Cygnus___ | wow, now I'm just having trouble with everything. | 03:30 |
| mn | goffio: I used gparted, btw, if that's of any significance | 03:30 |
| fandi | cindy | 03:31 |
| Sindacious | o. | 03:31 |
| maldito | now what? koshar2 | 03:31 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: there can only be four lines for that package.. if there are more than the four lines shown in my pastebin for that package, then you must remove them. and the 'Status: ' line must be like it is in my pastebin | 03:31 |
| mn | goffio: you called it. it's not in there. How should I got about adding it? | 03:31 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91955/ | 03:32 |
| goffio | mn: do both partitions have the same filesystem? | 03:32 |
| mn | goffio: I think so, if not, one is ext2 and the other is ext3. ill check | 03:33 |
| Seq | If anybody is knowledgeable about scsi: I just added a card (Adaptec 29160LP) and tape drive. Booting never gets passed the SCSI 'BIOS' while detecting devices. Any ideas? | 03:33 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: this is mine <http://paste.ubuntu.com/91956/> | 03:33 |
| koshar2 | maldito ok cd (change directory) to the directory the file you want to chang is loacated | 03:33 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: should I replace all of them to yours? | 03:33 |
| mn | goffio: they are both ext3 | 03:33 |
| hafash | Okay rww -- i will see what I can find from what you gave me -- although I already have Timidity and xmms-midi plugin already installed | 03:33 |
| koshar2 | maldito ie cd /home/myusername/video ect | 03:33 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: no.. my example is from a -11 kernel. | 03:34 |
| function1 | corollax: it looks like from the pulseaudio website i should be able to fool an application into using pulse even though it thinks it is using alsa, does that sound correct? (website seems a little ambigious, looking for better docs) | 03:34 |
| goffio | mn: ok. now cat /etc/fstab and locate the line where / is listed | 03:34 |
| woli | does this have any sense? http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/minicovers/76.jpg | 03:35 |
| corollax | function1: That is the principle behind pulseaudio, yes. The execution seems to leave something to be desired at this point, though | 03:35 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: the only difference is in the line "Status: install ok half-configured", which should be kept? | 03:35 |
| mn | goffio: /dev/sda5 | 03:35 |
| onetinsoldier | OsamaK: i am sorry this has happened to you with a presentation coming up so soon, however... you should have a real installation of Ubuntu running. or at the very least, the persistent version of the cd rather than the live version | 03:35 |

| ubtu99 | I tried killing nm-applet and network manager | 03:38 |

| onetinsoldier | only a little difference, but they are not exactly the same | 03:38 |
| OsamaK | onetinsoldier: I'll keep this, but what about long other lines? | 03:38 |
| jicksta | koshar2: nope. i would've caught on to that. i even tried it in multiple shells, including /bin/sh (which doesn't have tab completion) | 03:38 |

| saturnDriver | ScottG489 use apt-get? | 03:42 |
| function1 | corollax: i have one application, puredata, that really doesnt seem to want to use pulse. apparently it tries to access a specific device address (like hw:0,0) with alsa rather than just 'default', which someone told me bypasses alsa's dmix. but i feel like if pulse was doing its job, (or if the app was really using pulse) then dmix would not be needed. is this wrong? would streams still need to be mixed before they arrive at pulse from a fake alsa i | 03:42 |
| ScottG489 | saturnDriver: I mean a bunch of packages automatically | 03:42 |
| goffio | mn: yes, to be safe you can have two entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst : the original one, to boot safely in your original environment, and a new entry for the new partition | 03:43 |
| saturnDriver | SCottG489 what do you mean by automatically | 03:43 |
| ScottG489 | saturnDriver: So I run one script or something and it will install the list of packages I have listed. | 03:43 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 03:44 |

| koshar2 | dlozarie you either have to go in as sudo or modify the permissions, | 03:45 |

| dlozarie | koshar2: one by one on the subdirectories? | 03:45 |
| kdogg | ubtu99, thanks for advice | 03:46 |
| ubtu99 | kdogg: look it up in google, and if somehow it installs (it has wide support) activate the partition manager and it syncs it | 03:46 |
| CaBlGuY | Jack_Sparrow: u don't know anything about qtella do ya? | 03:46 |
| puff | wos: It has (among other htings) some of my notes from messing with bluetooth stuff. | 03:46 |
| duane | can some one help me get compiz to work? Iam running hardy and have a ati radion 9100. | 03:46 |
| ubtu99 | kdogg: no problem. It drove me nuts too | 03:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CaBlGuY Nope | 03:46 |
| Torgoton | I started my netboot install, and now every ten seconds or so on console4, I see a segfault error ffff0004 and debian-installer exits and restarts. What might be up with that? | 03:46 |
| koshar2 | dlozarie you can recursively change permissiions | 03:46 |
| CaBlGuY | Jack_Sparrow: k. thanks.. | 03:46 |
| dlozarie | so -r | 03:46 |
| jicksta | this is RIDICULOUS: i granted rw privileges to /var/www to everyone, then used the "confluence" user to create a new directory. i sudo mv'd the files in the old directory to the new, deleted the old directory, and renamed the new directory to the old's name. that worked.... | 03:46 |
| jicksta | it's as if the directory inode was bad or something | 03:46 |
| dlozarie | koshar2: sudo chmod -r 777 /opt/subdirectory ? | 03:46 |
| duane | I tried envy, but it didn't work. | 03:47 |
| Slacker | Jack_sparrow: I can no longer use sudo. as I do not have permissions to do sudo anymore | 03:47 |

| koshar2 | jicksta its sometimes a good idea to place your web page in your home dir and symlink to it from /var/www | 03:47 |
| goffio | Slacker, the best way to deal with that is to boot from a livecd, mount the fs and restore the perms | 03:47 |
| joeb3_ | ScottG489, dpkg --get-selections > outfile will copy all your installed packages to a file. | 03:47 |

| goffio | Slacker, do you mean how to know what the exact perms are, or you don't know the commands? | 03:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Slack_: what are you wanting to do? | 03:52 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: in short, I would suggest you reinstall. | 03:52 |

| easotokr | hi everyone, kind of help with xfce keyboard layout, please | 03:53 |
| kdogg | Jack_Sparrow, I just rebooted, and it hung at the peach colored loading screen right after you login, and i cannot bring up a terminal | 03:53 |
| Slacker | PriceChild: lol I did that last week as I accidently did the same thing last week =/. | 03:53 |
| kdogg | Jack_Sparrow, but the mouse works | 03:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kdogg NOt sure what is going on, what version of ubuntu, and what video card? | 03:54 |
| koshar2 | kdogg can you cont alt f2 for a terminal? | 03:54 |
| Slacker | Well I guess I will just reinstall again =/. | 03:55 |
| ubtu99 | kdogg: the fix seems to be to install grub to the MBR | 03:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Slack_: if that's what PriceChild recommends, that's what i'd do | 03:55 |
| Slacker | I got my home directory partitioned off anyways so all I gotta do is make the same users ^_^ | 03:55 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: You could load a live cd and replicate things... but you're talking maybe a million files and directories? | 03:56 |
| Slacker | Well thanks for the help guys. It's pretty discouraging though that linux is so easily broken. | 03:56 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: sudo is meant for system administrators. The command line is that powerful. | 03:56 |
| goffio | Slacker: lol | 03:57 |
| nDevastator | okay so i have read the manual and understand groupadd fully as well as assigning people to groups but yet to understand how i use groups | 03:57 |
| Slacker | 1 accidental / instead of ~/ just ruined the system ;) | 03:57 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 03:57 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: you tell it to do something, and it will do it. | 03:57 |
| easotokr | hi guys..... can someone help me with my keyboard layout problem? | 03:57 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: you shouldn't do that either! | 03:57 |
| nDevastator | after making a group do i have to individual folders and give that group rights or what | 03:57 |
| yaris123456789 | how do i create a swap memory in linux ? | 03:57 |
| Slacker | PriceChild? I shouldn't do what either? | 03:57 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: recursively chmod your entire home directory. | 03:57 |
| goffio | PriceChild, c'mon i was going to keep helping but the crying made me laugh, sorry | 03:57 |
| bimberi | yaris123456789: the 'mkswap' command | 03:58 |
| Slacker | well I keep getting a user's home .dmrc permissions need to be 644 | 03:58 |
| Slacker | etc... | 03:58 |
| yaris123456789 | bimberi: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=100000 | 03:58 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: well then something else is wrong. | 03:58 |
| onetinsoldier | Slacker: with Great Power comes great responsibility... got root? | 03:58 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: if you discover you have a mouse in your house, do you order in an air strike to get rid of it? | 03:58 |
| djhedges | anyone gotten a tablet pen to work? | 03:58 |
| hischild | PriceChild, yup i do | 03:59 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: no, you set some traps and get a cat. | 03:59 |
| goffio | i've lost terabytes and years of work making mistakes, yet i never thought of blaming the OS for that | 03:59 |
| Slacker | PriceChild: No, but I certainly don't rebuild my house when I accidently lock all the doors either. | 03:59 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: not the best analogy... seen as there's another problem causing the mouse to be there, but you get the idea. | 03:59 |
| bagside | nick | 03:59 |
| onetinsoldier | analogies could go on forever | 03:59 |
| PriceChild | Slacker: you haven't locked all the doors, you've flattenned it. Its all still there but none of it is in the right place. | 04:00 |
| Slacker | PriceChild: I try ^_^. Thanks for the help though. Maybe Ill come bother you about my other problem later than. | 04:00 |

| bluntz | guess so | 04:07 |
| trifecta | lol idk i just got back | 04:08 |
| bluntz | seems logical to me | 04:08 |
| bluntz | but most likely its a bad disc | 04:08 |
| Torgoton | OK. Well I'm doing a netboot install. It asked which install components to download. I selected none. Now the main screen is blank, and console 4 shows /sbin/debian-installer segfaults and gets restarted every ten seconds. | 04:08 |
| Slacker | I got a stupid install question =/. | 04:09 |
| onetinsoldier | ok | 04:09 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: do I need t change sources.list? Or its al ready to go now? | 04:09 |
| onetinsoldier | shoot | 04:09 |
| bluntz | ahh netboot | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Torgoton WHat tutorial are you following | 04:09 |
| bluntz | never got around to one of those | 04:09 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: it's all set now | 04:09 |
| eternaljoy | Daffy_Duck_IV: quack | 04:09 |
| Slacker | So I set my home directory on a separate partition, but when I reach the partition manager in the installer I am unable to set it as my home directory | 04:09 |
| Slacker | any suggestions? | 04:09 |
| bluntz | did a net install | 04:09 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: so new secutiry upgrades etc, weill be notified in taskbar? | 04:10 |
| bluntz | booted from floppy | 04:10 |
| Slacker | Oh and I am assuming I check the Manual partiotn manager option. | 04:10 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: they should be... you can always look at your repository option inthe synaptic package manager options and see if they're enabled | 04:11 |
| Torgoton | Jack_Sparrow: There is no tutorial. I'm using linld097 from DOS and using the 386 netboot files: linux and initrd.gz. | 04:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slacker what format did you make the .home | 04:11 |
| Slacker | Oh nevermind, I think I figured i tout I am sorry. | 04:11 |
| Slacker | Jack_Sparrow, it is a ext3 | 04:11 |

| yaris123456789 | okay killall httpd is saying memomry icannot be allocated... | 04:11 |
| yaris123456789 | -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory | 04:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slacker and the installer wont let you set sdax to mount as /home ? | 04:12 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: here... System --> Administration -- Synaptic Package Manager ...then | 04:12 |
| Torgoton | well Jack_Sparrow it's not so easy on this machine: No CD drive, no USB, won't boot from a network. So I'm using the netboot files, and it does begin the procedure. That's not the issue. | 04:12 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: at the top menu... Settings --> Repositories | 04:13 |
| Slacker | Jack_Sparrow: I think I was reading it wrong, I have to click on the edit partition, than I can select use as ext3 partition, than I can set it to /home | 04:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slacker correct | 04:13 |
| Slacker | Jack_Sparrow: Okay cool thank you. I just wont set it to format and it should be fine | 04:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slacker correct again | 04:13 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: then look at the 'Updates' Tab | 04:14 |
| Roritharr | hi guys | 04:14 |
| Torgoton | Jack_Sparrow: I see there's a grub for DOS, which could be useful, but only to help start the process. I've already got that going. | 04:14 |
| Roritharr | just installed ubuntu intrepid on my new acer aspire one netbook... the system monitor shows 2 cpus O_o | 04:15 |
| Roritharr | why is that? | 04:15 |
| Slacker | Dual Core cpu | 04:15 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: Next to "Show new distribution releases" should it be "Normal Releases"? | 04:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Roritharr: perhaps Hyperthreading | 04:15 |
| \kira | Roritharr: it could be dual core, or hyperthreading (makes it look like dual core) | 04:15 |
| Roritharr | the Intel Atom is Hyperthreading capable? | 04:16 |
| Slacker | I dont believe so | 04:16 |
| Roritharr | its just an ordinary Intel Atom n270 | 04:16 |
| Slacker | I believe the i7 seriies is the hyperthreading series | 04:16 |
| Stanlin | can Ubuntu run in Quad Core? | 04:16 |
| Roritharr | i'm quite confused what this means... i mean | 04:16 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: yes... you see the Security updates on there.. correct? | 04:16 |
| Roritharr | its just a netbook | 04:16 |
| \kira | Stanlin: yes | 04:16 |
| HorizonXP | Core i7 reintroduced hyperthreading | 04:16 |
| HorizonXP | Atom N270 is NOT dual-core, it's single | 04:16 |
| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier: yes | 04:17 |
| \kira | Stanlin: as far as I know | 04:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roritharr Perhaps /j #Hardware to ask generic hardware questions | 04:17 |
| HorizonXP | the N3XX one is dual-core | 04:17 |
| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: ok, it sounds like you are all fine and dandy | 04:17 |
| Roritharr | is there a way to fuck an ubuntu installation that hard that it thinks the system has two cpu cores instead of one? | 04:17 |
| uber_noober | LOL | 04:17 |

| onetinsoldier | eternaljoy: :-) | 04:18 |
| Roritharr | yup, its right on the box | 04:18 |
| Slacker | and not a n720? | 04:18 |
| Roritharr | no, just an ordinary acer aspire one for 250€ | 04:18 |

| Nickman1 | hello, i recently installed ubuntu to replace windows xp on my pc, now it runs so slow | 04:20 |
| Nickman1 | please help | 04:20 |
| Roritharr | @uber_noober: model name: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60Ghz | 04:20 |
| LTL | mareen: /var/log/syslog | 04:20 |
| Stanlin | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz | 04:20 |
| mareen | Nickman1, reinstall xp | 04:20 |
| Roritharr | processor : 1 | 04:20 |
| uber_noober | yeah hyperthreading is enabled in BIOS | 04:21 |
| Roritharr | wut | 04:21 |
| Roritharr | wait a second | 04:21 |
| uber_noober | if you only had one processor it would say on processor 0 | 04:21 |
| mareen | LTL, so every time you call syslog(), it's written to /var/log/syslog? | 04:21 |
| exodus_ms | Nickman1, what exactly is running slow? | 04:22 |
| Roritharr | ya, just had to scroll up, there was the other one O_o | 04:22 |
| uber_noober | Rorithar: how many processor lines do u see? | 04:22 |
| uber_noober | also do u see an ht flag | 04:22 |
| Nickman1 | well for instance, this right now, my internet, when i type, its slow to fill into the field | 04:22 |
| Nickman1 | same as amsn, etc | 04:22 |
| Nickman1 | and is not a slow pc | 04:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickman1 if you turn off effects does it speed back up | 04:23 |
| maddash | dmsuperman: hi | 04:23 |
| exodus_ms | Nickman1, go to the terminal and type --> top | 04:23 |
| Roritharr | how is the command to tell the wired lan card to retry acquiring an ip address ? | 04:23 |
| Nickman1 | ive typed top | 04:24 |
| Nickman1 | jack, not sure how to turn off effects | 04:24 |
| Tidus | Roritharr: simply unhook the cable and plug it back in | 04:24 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: You could try "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0" to restart the connection | 04:24 |
| Tidus | networkmanager will try again automatically | 04:24 |
| maddash | dmsuperman: I just compiled 2.6.27.9 with gcc 4.3.2. the kernel's running fine, but I just can't get fglrx to work (argh) | 04:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickman1 which version of ubuntu--specifically | 04:24 |
| Nickman1 | 8.04 | 04:24 |
| uber_noober | Roritharr: try it the way dmsuperman said | 04:25 |

| \kira | whats a graphical sqlite reader? | 04:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickman1 right click background go to wallpaper then far right tab is effects | 04:25 |
| uber_noober | Nickman: it's possible ur card is having a hard time with the graphics | 04:25 |
| maddash | dmsuperman: erm, did you still want to help me/ | 04:26 |
| dmsuperman | maddash: Sorry, I didn't mean I could help you, I meant you'd be better off asking in here | 04:26 |
| Nickman1 | product: 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller is my vid card i think ? | 04:26 |
| Bo_ | irc.scriptkiddie.org | 04:26 |
| uber_noober | say, does anyone know if there's a channel to helo with iptables? | 04:26 |
| Tidus | Nickman1: yeah, that's your video | 04:26 |
| Nickman1 | so my vid card is making it run slow? | 04:26 |
| Nickman1 | but with windows this could run almost any game and all | 04:27 |
| Nickman1 | so cant be that | 04:27 |
| uber_noober | nickman: turn off effects... iahve the same card | 04:27 |
| Nickman1 | ive used weaker systems with ubuntu before | 04:27 |
| joeb3_ | uber_noober, #iptables | 04:27 |
| uber_noober | :-( | 04:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickman1 Did you turn off effects? | 04:27 |
| onetinsoldier | uber_noober: perhaps there's a #firewall | 04:27 |
| Nickman1 | i just did | 04:27 |

| igoogg | after upgrading to 8.10, i had to disable pulseaudio because of skype, which only works with esound. is there a way to have skype working with pulseaudio? | 04:27 |

| Rawbutt | Hi. im having problems adding 2 more panels to my desktop for the full cube effect on compiz. any advice | 04:33 |
| === loki_ is now known as ehauehauhea | ||
| onetinsoldier | Cody_Duncan: i don't know right-offhand then. might have to do what Org-Mode said | 04:33 |
| exodus_ms | igoogg, you can try starting Skype with the option padsp skype | 04:33 |
| fxhp | Jimbo please route that question to ##php | 04:33 |
| Roritharr | that ofcourse doesn't solve the mystery of why i get this sick error message everytime i try to test my audio playback: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 !" "audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink:" "Could not open audio device for playback." | 04:33 |
| Cody_Duncan | I used to have 7.10 installed, but when I tried to upgrade, it got halfway through, then froze, and then I couldn't really get anythiing working, as in, it would not even load up, so I burned a few disks (Desktop and alternate install methods) and have been trying a reinstall. | 04:33 |
| joeb3_ | Jimbo, install libapache2-mod-php5. no config needed | 04:33 |
| igoogg | exodus_ms: padsp? | 04:34 |
| exodus_ms | pulseaudio | 04:34 |
| Cody_Duncan | Also, I just today, before trying to install Ubuntu, installed some new RAM, so now I have a gig, rather than the stock 256. | 04:34 |
| Jimbo | fxhp, so ubuntu's basic install doesn't take care of it? Installing libapache2 is no problem. google is not problem either. didn't want to work more if it's already configured. | 04:34 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, thanks. :) | 04:34 |
| Roritharr | exodus_ms, so i have to? | 04:34 |
| joeb3_ | Jimbo, after install 'a2enmod php5' | 04:35 |
| exodus_ms | Roritharr, sorry, that was for igoogg | 04:35 |
| Org-Mode | Jimbo: yea if you dont install libapache or config it manaully, firefox will just try to download your website as a .php and whatnot | 04:35 |
| Roritharr | np | 04:35 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, ok libapache2 is already there. | 04:35 |
| igoogg | exodus_ms: thanks, i'am looking into it right now. | 04:35 |
| Roritharr | anyone with an idea what this strange error tries to tell me? | 04:35 |
| fxhp | Jimbo I guess the best way to test is to attempt to load a php page | 04:35 |
| Cody_Duncan | Org-Mode, would it be worth trying 8.04? | 04:36 |
| Org-Mode | oh god yes | 04:36 |
| Org-Mode | 8.04 rocks | 04:36 |
| joeb3_ | Org-Mode, 8.10 rocks harder with 64 bit | 04:36 |
| Org-Mode | Cody_Duncan: its a LTS (long term support) :) | 04:36 |
| Cody_Duncan | well, what I mean is, I am trying to use 8.10, but it is not working | 04:36 |
| onetinsoldier | lol.. Version Wars! | 04:36 |
| Org-Mode | lol | 04:36 |
| Cody_Duncan | well, I'll download an alt disk torrent, burn it, and give it a whirl | 04:37 |
| Org-Mode | joeb3_: but 8.10 not a LTS :P | 04:37 |
| joeb3_ | Org-Mode, you got me there.... | 04:37 |
| dmsuperman | Org-Mode, joeb3_: Let's take the version discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please, thanks :) | 04:37 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, the a2enmod doesn't exist. | 04:38 |
| jaw | Figured out a silly Evolution-Exchange trick. I read numerous threads of an issue connecting to exchange in Evolution. Evolution ask you repeatedly for a password. It turns out to be a silly bug. If you type in you exchange mailbox manually it doesn't work. You have to authenticate and let Evolution do populate it. I feel like a moron for not thinking of it 4 hours and 4 reinstalls ago. | 04:39 |
| Cody_Duncan | anyone mind telling me what the difference is between LTS and nonLTS? | 04:39 |
| detrate | hi, maybe this is a dumb question but can you fsck a swap partition? | 04:39 |
| Org-Mode | !LTS | 04:39 |
| 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. | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | Cody_Duncan: LTS means it's a Long Term Support | 04:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: apt-file search a2enmod apache2.2-common: /usr/sbin/a2enmod | 04:39 |
| joeb3_ | Jimbo, do you have apache2 ? | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | Cody_Duncan: Basically, it lasts much longer than the 6-month release cycle in terms of support and repositories | 04:39 |
| jaw | the bugs in lts last longer | 04:39 |
| Org-Mode | lol jaw | 04:40 |
| Cody_Duncan | jaw, a joke I'm guessing | 04:40 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, yes just installed apache2. Verified it works. | 04:40 |

| igoogg | exodus_ms: thanks. :) | 04:41 |
| Cody_Duncan | Org-Mode, should I use the Desktop install, or the alternate disk? | 04:41 |

| cubexde | koshar2: I am not sure what you are talking about, I am trying vermont's suggestion and will get back to you if it doesn't work | 04:47 |

| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: ok... what does this show you... dpkg -l apache2.2-common | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' | 04:50 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: Then I'm not sure...I gabe up on audio issues and just disabled pulseaudio | 04:50 |
| Cody_Duncan | dmsuperman: are you just concerned with drivers or something, because I'm positive the hardware in it is stock (other than the RAM I just put in) and supported, as I've had a successful install before | 04:50 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, that shows the fielname: apache2.2-common | 04:50 |

| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, sorry, the original problem was that while trying to do sudo apt-get install a2enmod, it said that didn't exist. | 04:52 |
| dmsuperman | I got a 3000 for my first personal PC like 5 years ago | 04:52 |
| Abraham | I need to know how to gain acces to a windows desktop by having their IP | 04:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: ok | 04:52 |
| bwayne | mn: edit /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab, for starters. | 04:52 |
| Roritharr | dmsuperman, how to get rid of pulseaudio? | 04:52 |
| the_dark_warrio | I've installed another linux on my laptop, and I had to create a second partition, one for ubuntu and another for fedora. But now I deleted the fedora partition with GParted, and I wanted to have one partition again for Ubuntu. Is it possible? | 04:52 |
| qcjn2 | whats the rooter adress again 127.0.0.1 | 04:53 |
| Org-Mode | well the Dell Demension 2400 that i got from Dell's website was 3 years ago , maybe they had it sitting around for a couple years | 04:53 |
| dmsuperman | mn: You have to make sure go delete all the special folders in the root, such as /dev /proc /sys etc and recreate them as normal empty folders, then edit /etc/fstab and make sure it's pointing to the proper filesystem | 04:53 |
| mn | bwayne: ah, i forgot mtab! i did edit fstab and menu.lst though | 04:53 |
| dmsuperman | mn: And finally make sure /boot/grub/menu.lst points to the proper partition as well | 04:53 |
| uber_noober | Abraham: why> | 04:53 |
| Abraham | just wanna try to see if it works | 04:54 |
| mn | dmsuperman: is there any list of these special folders? | 04:54 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: You can't normally, I edited /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and put "exit" at the top, then did "killall pulseaudio" and finally under sound settings I changed everything from default to ALSA and told VLC and mplayer to use alsa as well | 04:54 |
| dmsuperman | !files | 04:54 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 04:54 |
| dmsuperman | mn: See that factoid, it explains what each of the root directories are for | 04:54 |
| Roritharr | and then it worked? | 04:54 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, probably better to just create a manual entry for apache. | 04:54 |
| mn | k | 04:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: from earlier... joeb3_: Jimbo, after install 'a2enmod php5' ...i believe that joeb3_ meant to do that as a command | 04:54 |
| === indos12_ is now known as diska | ||
| koshar2 | the_dark_warrio it is possable | 04:55 |
| dmsuperman | mn: If I remember correctly, /tmp needs to be emptied, /sys needs to be replaced with an empty dir, /dev needs to be replaced with an empty dir, and /proc needs to be replaced with an empty dir | 04:55 |
| joeb3_ | onetinsoldier, right | 04:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: as root.. a2enmod php5 | 04:55 |
| dmsuperman | mn: And make sure the permissions on them are the same | 04:55 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, I see. That's cool. I have run it and it says module enabled. | 04:55 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, as sudo .... | 04:55 |
| onetinsoldier | yeah!!1 | 04:55 |
| the_dark_warrio | koshar2: How can I do it? I tried resizing my ubuntu partition, but gparted seems not able to do this | 04:55 |
| joeb3_ | Jimbo, now test with a php file | 04:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: yes root = sudo | 04:55 |
| mn | dmsuperman: I get an error that says GDM cannot write to $HOME. How might I fix this? | 04:56 |
| koshar2 | the_dark_warrio you will need to use a live disk because you will have the drive "mounted" also backup first as things can go wrong | 04:56 |
| dmsuperman | mn: You need to chown your home directory to yourself | 04:56 |
| djhedges | any suggestions for apps on a tablet pc? | 04:56 |
| onetinsoldier | mn: ls -ld ~/ | 04:56 |
| dmsuperman | mn: sudo chown -R your_user:your_user /home/your_user | 04:57 |
| the_dark_warrio | koshar2: hmm. I think I will just leave it. Thanks for the answers | 04:57 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, it doesn't process. | 04:58 |
| mn | dmsuperman: i can't even login because GDM can right to this directory, so i can't change my permissions. If I drop to terminal though it gives username@localhost$ and won't allow sudo | 04:58 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: you'll need joeb3_ 's help with that | 04:58 |
| dmsuperman | mn: Restart in recovery mode, it'll let you login as root | 04:58 |
| dmsuperman | mn: Then do it from there, and you don't need sudo | 04:58 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, thanks. :) | 04:59 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, if have a minute.... :) | 04:59 |
| koshar2 | the_dark_warrio its always a good idea to have a backup and also a good idea to have your data on a different partition to the system | 04:59 |
| mn | dmsuperman: alright, i'll try it. | 04:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Jimbo: you're welcome.. use and enjoy apt-file :-) | 04:59 |
| joeb3_ | Jimbo, restart apache. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 04:59 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, :) | 04:59 |
| hashbrowns | I just installed ubuntu in a dualboot scenario and windows still automatically boots. What can I do about this> | 04:59 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, restarted apache twice. no difference. | 05:00 |
| Roritharr | hum, if i killall pulseaudio the error disappears, but sound is still dead :( | 05:00 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: What did you use for your bootloader? | 05:00 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, no reference to PHP in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 05:00 |
| the_dark_warrio | koshar2: I'm always in doubt about how to distribute data in my hard drive. Is it good practice to leave a partition for home? I've already searched on the web, and didn't find good things | 05:00 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: After you kill it, restart alsa again (sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart) | 05:01 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: And if it's still confused, reboot (I know I know, it's not the way to do it, but sound issues sometimes just need a good reboot) | 05:01 |
| mn | dmsuperman: I'll be back to let you know the results. Thnx for the help! :) | 05:01 |
| hashbrowns | dmsuperman: well I dont know if it installed GRUB or not. I'm guessing not since windows still auto boots. How can I install grub without having to install ubuntu again? | 05:02 |
| exodus_ms | !grub | 05:02 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:02 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 05:02 |
| onetinsoldier | exodus_ms: i've made the same mistake with that.... he hasn't lost Windows... quite the opposite | 05:03 |
| exodus_ms | onetinsoldier, cool, thanks :) | 05:03 |

| dmsuperman | pelao91: f-spot | 05:05 |
| Jimbo | joeb3_, ok finally it worked. | 05:05 |
| dmsuperman | pelao91: But honestly, in my opinion, picasa is the best one | 05:05 |
| pelao91 | cool | 05:05 |
| joeb3_ | Jimbo, good. | 05:05 |

| Roritharr | finally, i hear something, just over the connected headphones and extremly silent, but i hear something | 05:07 |
| Jimbo | onetinsoldier, :) | 05:07 |
| Jimbo | nite all! :) | 05:07 |
| n8__ | hello | 05:08 |
| GuitarInc1 | hello. | 05:08 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: Run "alsamixer" from the command line and make sure all yoru channels are turned up | 05:08 |
| Steve132 | uber_noober...I don't know why, but apparently I can't | 05:08 |
| Steve132 | hold on, let me leave and come back | 05:08 |
| n8__ | just installed ubuntu and my hidden restore partition was automatically recognized. how do i remove its entry from 'Places' in gnome panel? | 05:09 |
| hang3r | g'day all, I have a stock kubuntu install, at KDM the mouse and keyboard will not work, mouse disappears after a couple of seconds and I can't login, if i jump into a console and kill Xorg I can startx and KDE appears to load fine, however the mouse and keyboard still don't work. What is going on? Never have this problem with ubuntu | 05:09 |
| n8__ | have already removed it from grub | 05:09 |
| joeb3_ | n8__, remove it from /etc/fstab ? | 05:09 |
| cubexde | vermont: Thanks much! That worked great. | 05:09 |
| yaris123456789 | anyway to limit the total amount of memory apache can use | 05:10 |
| n8__ | joeb3: it is not in fstab | 05:10 |
| cubexde | koshar2: Thanks for helping me :) | 05:10 |
| n8__ | is not mounted, just listed under 'Places' | 05:10 |
| dmsuperman | joeb3_: The places folder automatically recognizes drives with labels | 05:10 |
| kc8pxy | what would cause my on-board sound ports to not show in lspci? disabled in bios only? | 05:10 |
| dmsuperman | joeb3_: Regardless of mount status | 05:10 |
| n8tuser2 | hang3r -> can you post in pastebin your xorg.conf file? | 05:11 |
| onetinsoldier | kc8pxy: if they are disabled in the bios, then they won't be detected | 05:11 |
| n8__ | dmsuperman: so how would i prevent it from showing the hidden restore partition? | 05:11 |
| kelvin911 | hello i dont know why my desktop icons disappear and i cant click on desktop | 05:11 |
| kc8pxy | onetinsoldier: is that the only way it wouldn't show? | 05:11 |
| dmsuperman | n8__: No idea, honestly, I don't use the places menu or nautilus ;) | 05:12 |
| onetinsoldier | kc8pxy: if there is not a linux kernel driver for the type of sound card, i think something would still show in lspci, but i might show as an unknown | 05:12 |
| n8__ | dmsuperman: haha, just would hate for another user to try to access it | 05:12 |
| n8tuser2 | n8__ -> gconf-editor and somewhere in nautilus - i think volume manager, disable show all volumes something like that.. | 05:12 |
| mysticdarkhack | Hey all | 05:13 |
| dmsuperman | n8__: I don't let anybody on my computer either hahaha | 05:13 |
| onetinsoldier | kc8pxy: but that would only be the case if it's not disabled in the bios | 05:13 |
| Roritharr | thanks dmsuperman | 05:13 |
| stan | Why does my vi not work right under putty? (It doesnt like my arrow keys in insert mode; it inserts 'A' and 'B' for up and down isntead of scrolling) | 05:13 |
| mysticdarkhack | Anyone here know a good bandwidth cap monitor that ubuntu can use. | 05:13 |
| Roritharr | it works now | 05:13 |
| n8__ | dmsuperman: true to that. this just annoys me..would like it to stay hidden ha | 05:13 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: Did you get it working? | 05:13 |
| mysticdarkhack | tried searching for it on google but no luck | 05:13 |
| dmsuperman | n8__: Take a look at n8tuser2's suggestion | 05:13 |
| stan | mysticdarkhack, mrtg? | 05:14 |
| Roritharr | ya, pulseaudio killed, restarted alsa, pushed everything in the alsamixer to the top and it worked | 05:14 |
| Roritharr | :D | 05:14 |
| fwaokda_ | my "System>Preferences" menu has gotten really big... is there anyway I can make it into several menus side by side instead of the scrolling function it uses by default? | 05:14 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: Fantastic :D | 05:14 |
| Roritharr | no i hope after a reboot it stays that way :/ | 05:14 |
| Roritharr | +w | 05:14 |

| hashbrowns | dmsuperman: I did what that link said and it didnt work. | 05:15 |
| Brack101 | Hi there | 05:15 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: As long as you edit /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and add "exit" at the top, to prevent it from starting agian, it should be fine | 05:15 |
| Roritharr | it seems, since the ubuntu boot sound played, for the first time :D | 05:15 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: How many hard drives? | 05:15 |
| stan | mysticdarkhack, what do you mean? its a reporting library.. I use it to track bandwidth usage on > 1k servers .. and millions of others use it on millions of other servers/routers.. waht does 'does it work' mean; exactly? | 05:15 |
| dmsuperman | Roritharr: Heh, I don't hear that noise. No idea why, it just doens't make the login noise anymore hahaha | 05:16 |

| cygoku_ | Question : I am under Intrepid Ibex and I would like to know if it is safe to update the GTK+ from GTK+2.14.4 to GTK+2.14.6 ?!?! | 05:16 |
| stan | cygoku_, sure. | 05:16 |
| mysticdarkhack | stan, well what about those that don't have a router and will it still work? | 05:16 |
| Brack101 | so the official Ubuntu help article for VMware tells me to use the "vmware-install.pl" file but I don't have that, I just have VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386 is there some way I can still install it? | 05:16 |
| mysticdarkhack | stan, I probably will get a router soon though since I'm getting a laptop | 05:17 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: Are you sure you installed it to the same hard drive that BIOS boots from? | 05:17 |
| stan | mysticdarkhack, are you slow or retarded? I use it to monitor >1k servers, and ~40 routers. | 05:17 |
| stan | Brack101, how did you get vmware-workstation.......i386? | 05:17 |
| n8tuser2 | stan come on be nice, the holidays are upon.. | 05:18 |
| hashbrowns | dmsuperman: no im not sure. How do I check this? | 05:18 |
| onetinsoldier | cygoku_: what method would you be using to update it? is it in an ubuntu update? i haven't updated for a few days | 05:18 |
| Roritharr | hum, is there a tool with which i can test the webcam? | 05:18 |
| cygoku_ | stan : So it is safe ? | 05:18 |
| Brack101 | stan: I got 100% legally... | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: You'd have to boot into BIOS and look around, it's usually under like "Standard CMOS features" or something similar | 05:18 |
| cygoku_ | onetinsoldier : No, I will install it from source tarball. | 05:18 |
| mysticdarkhack | stan, no but just didn't get what you are saying. Although I get the idea now and thanks for the help. | 05:18 |
| stan | Brack101, jesus dude... I didnt ask if you stole it :) | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: Make sure the boot order tells it to boot to the drive with grub first | 05:19 |
| Brack101 | stan: I downloaded it :) | 05:19 |
| stan | mysticdarkhack, What are you tryign to do? log your network usage per host? | 05:19 |
| onetinsoldier | cygoku_: ok.. you'd batter make sure you let stan know that's how you're planning on doing it | 05:19 |
| stan | Brack101, VMWare doesnt distribute files that come with a .i386 extension.. so you didnt download that file. | 05:19 |
| cygoku_ | Stan .. Is it safe to update the GTK+ from GTK+2.14.4 to GTK+2.14.6 from source tarball?!?! | 05:20 |
| stan | cygoku_, !!! haha. | 05:20 |

| jaw | I mean backup | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | hashbrowns: And you installed grub to the MBR? | 05:20 |
| mysticdarkhack | stan, just monitor my cable usage since comcast put a cap to 250gg/mth | 05:20 |
| Roritharr | hum, why is the "Cablenetwork" button grey? | 05:20 |
| onetinsoldier | cygoku_: that would be a, no | 05:20 |
| cygoku_ | hum | 05:21 |
| hashbrowns | dmsuperman: I think so. Thats what that link you gave me said that would do and I followed the guide to the T. | 05:21 |
| stan | mysticdarkhack, Download and install 'Cacti' is probably the easiest way.. I think it comes with a network usage report built in.. if not.. its trivial to add one. | 05:21 |

| brujo | if i compile with -I /dev/usr/linux/etc... compile with errors but compiler get the linux.h | 05:28 |
| mewshi | And it's not just Compiz; I can't get the OpenGL renderer for KWin to work, and I think they're related. | 05:28 |
| dmsuperman | mysticdarkhack: My far right one is for monitoring stuff, here's a screenshot of it: http://pictures.cjohnson.me/Screenshots/2008-12-23-230822_1280x1023_scrot.png.php | 05:28 |
| hashbrowns | Installed ubuntu after windows and then installed grub. windows is still autobooting. Anyone have a solution for this? | 05:28 |
| mysticdarkhack | dmsuperman, that is wild but people use 2 | 05:29 |
| stan | dmsuperman, whats that white thing? doesnt it cause cancer? (on the left, is that a 17", 19" wide?) | 05:29 |
| brujo | i need a good tutorial | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | brujo: i see. might be that it reuires a certain version of that header file | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman | mysticdarkhack: Then the CRT is for Photoshop and movies, since it's the only CRT (LCDs have terrible picture quality compared to CRT) | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | requires* | 05:29 |
| brujo | mmm | 05:29 |
| stan | brujo, your kernel src isnt in /dev/usr/Linux | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | i'mnot sure | 05:29 |
| brujo | is a very simple module | 05:29 |
| stan | brujo, it should be in /usr/src/linux/ | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman | stan, mysticdarkhack: Then the 22" wide and 17" full LCDs on the left are my main monitors, I have 5 workspaces running on those | 05:29 |
| brujo | yes | 05:29 |
| stan | dmsuperman, thats depressing.. a 17" is about the same size as a 22" wide (the 22 is wider, naturally) | 05:30 |
| n8tuser2 | dmsuperman -> how many video cards runs those 4? pci or agp? | 05:30 |
| dmsuperman | I run a VM 24/7, MPD, 4xgnome-terminal, 2xirssi, 1xbitlbee, thunderbird, ario, firefox, eclipse, rtorrent, mutt | 05:30 |
| mewshi | Hold on, I have a forum post about my issue. | 05:30 |
| stan | n8tuser, I run 4 monitors off my dell laptop fty. | 05:30 |
| stan | fyi* | 05:30 |
| dmsuperman | stan: That's the whole point of a widescreen, it's not supposed to be that much taller :P | 05:30 |
| mysticdarkhack | dmsuperman, I have to say that pretty sweet but don't think I be doing 4 anytime soon | 05:31 |
| dmsuperman | n8tuser2: 2xPCIex16 | 05:31 |
| stan | dmsuperman, dont mind me.. i just bought a 37" lcd tv and realized its not any bigger than a 30" tv for most stuff :( | 05:31 |
| dmsuperman | stan: Yeah, TVs as monitors are pretty pointless | 05:31 |
| mysticdarkhack | dmsuperman, you should checkout the guys at lifehacker ow they set their monitor | 05:31 |
| stan | dmsuperman, what mobo do you have that runs two cards at 16x? Most run the primary at 16, the secondary at 8x | 05:31 |
| dmsuperman | stan: You don't get any more pixel area than a 24" | 05:31 |
| mewshi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019129 <- here it is. This lists the error messages when I try to start compiz (or use compiz --replace) | 05:31 |
| stan | dmsuperman, but to play dvds -- super useful. | 05:31 |
| hashbrowns | Installed ubuntu after windows and then installed grub. windows is still autobooting. Anyone have a solution for this? | 05:31 |
| n8tuser2 | stan -> cool, you have 4 video outputs out of a laptop? | 05:31 |
| dmsuperman | stan: 2x16x :) | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | stan: XFX 780i SLI something-or-other | 05:32 |
| stan | n8tuser, two -- but I have a matrox something or another (dualhead2go maybe?) off one of them. | 05:32 |
| stan | n8tuser, with a docking station I get a DVI + VGA | 05:32 |
| mewshi | So, what should I do? | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | stan: Yeah, dualhead2go | 05:32 |
| brujo | hashbrowns are you sure you install grub after windows? | 05:32 |
| hashbrowns | brujo: yes | 05:32 |
| brujo | hashbrowns try reinstalling grub | 05:33 |
| n8tuser2 | stan and dmsuperman cool stuff to have multiple monitor, someday when i get to upgrade my mobo. :P | 05:33 |
| mysticdarkhack | Well anyway all, I'm off | 05:33 |
| mysticdarkhack | Night all | 05:33 |
| stan | mysticdarkhack, gl with that shitty isp cap | 05:33 |
| mewshi | Gentlemen? What should I do? How can I fix my problem? | 05:33 |
| dmsuperman | n8tuser2: Yeah, I used to run single monitor, wanted more room, found out you could do dualhead, and then I started collecting monitors from various places, and when I finally got a large enough desk I dug out my old 6600, slapped it in, and popped them on the desk | 05:34 |
| stan | newshi, you assume no women use linux and idle on #ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| hashbrowns | brujo: How exactly do I do that? I kind of a need a walkthrough of that kind of stuff. | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | !women | 05:34 |
| ubottu | The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively. | 05:34 |
| brujo | mmm | 05:34 |
| mewshi | Well, it's a general thing. Can I please get some help? | 05:34 |
| stan | mewshi, im too lazy to buffer scroll. | 05:34 |
| brujo | hashbrowns look in google how to install grub | 05:35 |
| brujo | is a lot of tutos | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | mewshi: Honestly, if you can't get help in here try in #compiz-fusion | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | mewshi: When they're there, they're lots of help | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | mewshi: soreau and crdlb are usually the go-to guys | 05:35 |
| stan | dmsuperman, whats that irda receiver looking box in that pic? | 05:35 |
| stan | to the far right; next to the ice tea | 05:35 |
| mewshi | Well, it sounds more like a driver problem than a compiz problem... | 05:35 |
| onetinsoldier | i download a python app. it has 2 files, the python executable app/script, and then a .glade file. where should the glade file go? | 05:36 |
| dmsuperman | stan: IR receiever for my remote | 05:36 |
| dmsuperman | stan: When I sit on my couch, I can control XBMC with it :D | 05:36 |
| stan | lol.. figures | 05:36 |
| mewshi | So, what would you recommend I do? | 05:36 |
| stan | dmsuperman, how is XBMC under Linux? My xbox just died.. and I <3<3<3 xmbc.. but it couldnt handle highdef rips.. and now I have this 1080p 37" tv... and a core duo laptop w/ no lcd.... | 05:37 |
| halycon | Does anyone know where to get SharpMusique? | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | stan: They ported it like almost 2 months ago :D | 05:37 |
| stan | mewshi, dmsuperman just gave you his recommendation. | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | No, mewshi is right, it's not a compiz issue | 05:37 |
| stan | dmsuperman, can you just throw anything at it like xmbc on the xbox? | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | It's a driver issue | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | stan: Yeah, it even reads ISOs like normal DVDs and reads videos out of archives :O | 05:38 |
| stan | no wai. | 05:38 |
| dmsuperman | srsly | 05:38 |
| stan | does it have an interface to my newsgroups account :D | 05:38 |
| dmsuperman | Heh, no idea | 05:39 |

| dmsuperman | But for the most part it works great | 05:39 |
| dmsuperman | I dunno, almost nothing is girlfriend approved, so... | 05:40 |
| dmsuperman | But, it's late, I gotta get up and drive for 3 hours | 05:40 |

| eblume | Hi - I'm having trouble getting my AR242X wireless card working. I've tracked it down to needing non-repository madwifi drivers. I can't seem to build them though, and I vaguely remember ubuntu needing a special package in order to build. | 05:54 |
| eblume | Does anyone know about this? Is there a special package that provides headers to build, etc.? | 05:54 |
| tag | Does anyone know if tracker indexes notes placed on files through nautilus? | 05:54 |
| brujo | in the bootable system yes | 05:54 |
| brujo | is the first device to be checked | 05:55 |
| brujo | look | 05:55 |
| brujo | is the primary disc = first disc to be checked for boot, | 05:55 |
| brujo | if you have grub in the secondary it can;t be started | 05:55 |
| uber_noober | yes it can | 05:56 |
| brujo | but making a reference to secondary | 05:56 |
| uber_noober | i see your point | 05:56 |

| herb | skar: mount -t devpts devpts-chroot /path/to/chroot | 07:19 |
| ferfactor | maco | 07:19 |
| maco | ferfactor: ? | 07:19 |
| herb | skar: there are potential security concerns with that, but it should solve your issue. | 07:20 |
| maco | ferfactor: oh | 07:20 |
| ferfactor | maco, what is the main purpose of that channel | 07:20 |
| ferfactor | sorry i have a tab problem D: | 07:20 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: that card is too old tobe supported by the proprietary driver. stick to the open-source one. you must have a very old machine | 07:20 |
| vahids | #dvb | 07:20 |
| skar | herb: thanks, will try it, u mean programs within chroot can grab stdin/out of programs outside it and so on? | 07:20 |
| maco | ferfactor: debugging & triaging bugs. this one's for support but if it turns out it's a bug not just confusion, we ask people to file bugs, and do a bit of debugging in there to figure out what all to put in the bug | 07:20 |
| almark1 | onetinsoldier: card is old machine is much newer | 07:20 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: i see | 07:21 |
| herb | skar: potentially, yes. | 07:21 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: how new? | 07:21 |
| ferfactor | maco, excelent... i will go there some time :D | 07:21 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: how much newer? | 07:21 |

| r2-d2 | hi | 07:23 |
| exodus_ms | !ot | 07:23 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: roger... you might consider making you own custom kernel, such as the latest one available from www.kernel.org. --> 2.6.28-rc9-git3 | 07:23 |
| r2-d2 | I don't understand why the ubuntu identify my hard disk as SCSI. | 07:24 |
| almark1 | you don't want to be labeled one... so be nice to all and all will be nice. at least that what I try to do | 07:24 |
| r2-d2 | Here I am, installing the 8.10 version of ubuntu operating system. | 07:24 |
| Brack101 | r2-d2, sda doesn't necessarily mean scsi | 07:24 |
| genii | r2-d2: All drives are now recognised through a SCSI compatability layer | 07:24 |
| r2-d2 | oh | 07:24 |
| almark1 | onetinsoldier: thanks, I don't know how I am going to clone my setup, I don't have a .config file to copy to a new kernel | 07:24 |
| maco | almark1: should be one in /boot | 07:25 |
| r2-d2 | I'll be back | 07:25 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: you do have a .config, but you might not know, however... | 07:25 |
| almark1 | r2-d2: i'm afraid that the new kernel only shows IDE drives as Sda sdb and so on | 07:25 |
| b1 | jjovvvael | 07:25 |
| almark1 | onetinsoldier: hey, you might have a point there | 07:26 |
| almark1 | maco: thanks ;) | 07:26 |
| r2-d2 | almark1: thank you | 07:27 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: since the newer 2.6.28 kernel has numerous new options, i almost recommend going through 'all' the options and setting them up yourself. it's wht i did. but there is soooo many options, it took me an entire day. because of trying to at tleast understand some of them that i had no clue about | 07:27 |

| shyam_k | what should be given as "reaches"? | 07:30 |

| almark1 | onetinsoldier: ok thanks I'll try it kernel.org? right | 07:30 |
| herb | skar: it's possible because we didn't do the first, the 2nd didn't solve your problem. | 07:30 |
| almark1 | thank you! | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | maco: roger that. not sure what pbuild is tho. however, for myself, i already have a custom .config for 2.6.28. the guy who would want the jauny one is almark1 | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: talk to maco | 07:30 |
| skar | herb: so /dev is the HOST dev dir, and pts is remounted as devpts-chroot? | 07:30 |
| herb | skar: exactly | 07:31 |
| shyam_k | i mean about configuring tsocks.conf | 07:31 |
| NarbeH | I have problem with Touchpad in Dell xps 1530. | 07:31 |
| maco | almark1: you can get jaunty's kernel from packages.ubuntu.com and use the pbuilder application to build the source package into a .deb that you can install | 07:31 |
| skar | herb: ok thanks will try it | 07:31 |
| maco | onetinsoldier: pbuilder is an app that builds source packages into binary packages | 07:31 |
| almark1 | maco: thanks, where is the info so I can do this? | 07:31 |
| herb | skar: welcome. hope it works. | 07:31 |

| r2-d2 | maco: you think so? | 07:32 |
| almark1 | maco: its not like other distos is it? | 07:32 |
| NarbeH | please help me :( | 07:32 |
| onetinsoldier | maco: why not use kernel-package to make it? | 07:32 |
| Brack101 | r2-d2 it's built into Ubuntu now | 07:32 |

| Gracenotes | hey. I'm having problems playing an http stream which apparently is actually an rtsp stream: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dc8381ce | 07:32 |
| Gracenotes | it's from MIT's OpenCourseWare | 07:32 |
| maco | onetinsoldier: never heard of it | 07:32 |
| maco | onetinsoldier: pbuilder's what i always use for building packages | 07:33 |
| Gracenotes | the links to the media are here: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm | 07:33 |
| Gracenotes | I can't figure out what's wrong -- any ideas? | 07:33 |
| skar | herb: yup this works, though i don't like the idea of all /dev files like sda etc being accessible inside the chroot, with pts being remounted anyway, why does this cause a problem? | 07:33 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: you have to be specific. What exactly do you need help with with the touchpad? | 07:33 |
| almark1 | maco: I mean just point me to it or I can look for the help | 07:33 |
| r2-d2 | Brack101: well, I see that's only thing to do after the installation, write aptitude install compiz, correct? | 07:33 |
| onetinsoldier | maco: i use kernel-package... it makes kernel .deb packages from compiling kernel from source. made for this specific purpose in debian and debian based system | 07:34 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: the touchpad isn't work. for example if i touch it the mouse cursor is doing crazy thing :-s | 07:34 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 07:34 |
| herb | skar: yeah. it is ugly. it's fine for testing, but I certainly wouldn't go to production with it. I would suggest using a more complete virtualization system if you need this type of functionality. openvz, kvm, vmware, virtualbox come to mind. | 07:34 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: Ubuntu 8.10 Kubuntu 8.10 | 07:34 |
| maco | almark1: almark1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 07:34 |
| onetinsoldier | maco: but i may check out pbuild for compiling source apps! thanks | 07:34 |
| almark1 | maco: thanks a lot :) | 07:35 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: plz :( help. i bought my laptop yesterday | 07:35 |
| skar | herb: thanks anyways, would do for me for dev, production probably doesn't need pts anyway | 07:35 |

| exodus_ms | NarbeH, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872153 | 07:35 |
| Brack101 | r2-d2 no you just have to enable it since it's already installed. The way I know to do it is by using the menus System > Appearance > Desktop effects. I'm sure there's a command line equivalent | 07:35 |
| herb | skar: good luck. hope it works for you. | 07:35 |
| Brack101 | you do need to install compiz-config however if you want to change anything | 07:35 |
| NarbeH | exodus_ms: and it will work? :O | 07:35 |
| almark1 | maco: well, I can see I have a lot of reading to do, thanks for your help and onetinsoldier's | 07:36 |
| r2-d2 | Brack101: okay, thank you for the explanation. | 07:36 |
| onetinsoldier | almark1: you're welcome, good luck | 07:36 |
| skar | herb: yup it better work, else the heavy virtual stuff are the remaining options, not light enough for me | 07:36 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: you will have to test it to see if that works | 07:36 |

| cwillu | shyam_k, ctrl+shift+j will give you something, install firebug (firefox web developer extension) if you need more | 07:59 |
| shyam_k | cwillu: like the problem is the browser can access net under proxy, and i want to run the shell command "offlineimap" and so now i am dreaming of having a console inside browser so that i can run that command under proxy | 07:59 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92051/ | 08:00 |
| shyam_k | cwillu: i want something like a shell | 08:00 |
| quizme_ | is there anything like cPanel for Ubuntu? (a script to configure Bind and Virtual Hosts) | 08:00 |
| shyam_k | :) | 08:00 |
| cwillu | shyam_k, you're not making sense, but I think I understand you anyway :p | 08:00 |
| cwillu | shyam_k, you'd need to find an equivilant imap command that supports an http proxy, or something else than can tunnel over http | 08:00 |
| shyam_k | cwillu: bash inside firefox!:) | 08:00 |
| cwillu | shyam_k, ... um, no | 08:01 |
| cwillu | shyam_k, won't do what you think it would do | 08:01 |
| jeff008 | is there any one to help me for part my hardy server whith lvm2? | 08:01 |
| Starnestommy | quizme_: maybe ebox | 08:01 |
| cwillu | shyam_k, something like openvpn would work though (openvpn can connect over an http proxy, and then you'd just use your normal commands in a normal bash shell) | 08:01 |
| shyam_k | cwillu: i just tried configuring proxy for thunderbird.. and even that didnt work!( i have an ip: port as info regarding the proxy and a gateway address too. | 08:01 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: I don't know what to try next | 08:01 |
| herb | shyam_k something like http://freshmeat.net/projects/mindterm/ ? | 08:02 |
| cwillu | shyam_k, the proxy may be intelligently blocking traffic that looks like non-browser'ish things | 08:02 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: so i have to install windows | 08:02 |
| fivetwentysix | whats the point of connecting over a proxy | 08:03 |
| shyam_k | herb: i think ssh is blocked for outside.. | 08:03 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: not necessarily. There might be another solution | 08:03 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, what's the problem? | 08:03 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: :( | 08:03 |
| herb | shyam_k: that's unfortunate. | 08:03 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: touchpad. dell xps 1530 | 08:03 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, a frown isn't a problem | 08:03 |
| almark1 | maco: Hello again, can I get a rt kernel from kernel.org? I need one, because Ubuntu Studio uses them | 08:03 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: looks crazy | 08:03 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, presume that I haven't been watching what you've been saying, and further presume I'm very smart, but also very lazy | 08:04 |
| shyam_k | and etching me to the max, people have m$ outlook working under the network!!!:) | 08:04 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: i think i have to install windows :| | 08:05 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, I still don't have any idea what the problem you're having is | 08:05 |
| Starnestommy | cwillu: his touchpad's cursor is acting crazy | 08:05 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: touchpad isn't working | 08:05 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, at all? | 08:06 |
| almark1 | maco: you still here ? | 08:06 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: it might have something to do with sensitivity | 08:06 |
| shyam_k | NarbeH: did you just try configuring the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 08:06 |
| NarbeH | shyam_k: no | 08:06 |
| keith112123 | hello, does ubuntu work with touch screens | 08:06 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: no i don't think so. | 08:06 |
| shyam_k | just adding the details about the synaptics(assuming that as your touchpad driver) | 08:06 |
| shyam_k | should do it.. | 08:07 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: what does the cursor do when you try to move it? | 08:07 |
| cwillu | keith112123, many/most, although some have issues with being treated as a touchpad rather than a touchscreen (i.e., relative movement instead of absolute movement) | 08:07 |
| fivetwentysix | keith112123 like a tablet? | 08:07 |
| maco | almark1: sorry. the sources should be the same. its just the compile flags, i think | 08:07 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: i can't tell. some times it dont move | 08:07 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: and some times it do crazy things :-s | 08:07 |
| almark1 | maco: do you mean everytime Ubuntu upgraded the kernel, It still retained the rt feature? | 08:08 |
| maco | almark1: i *think* the compiling is what makes it rt | 08:08 |
| almark1 | maco: oh... that makes since | 08:08 |
| keith112123 | yea, like a tablet | 08:10 |
| MHz128 | Using ad-hoc mode, is it possible to connect 2 pc's directly with no router? | 08:11 |
| NarbeH | : (( : (( | 08:11 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: do you know what BIOS version the laptop is using? | 08:11 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: no. how should i know? | 08:11 |
| Starnestommy | NarbeH: it might be shown when you start up your laptop | 08:11 |
| n2diy | MHz128, yes, with a cross over cable | 08:11 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, do you have a pastebin of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 08:11 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: wait | 08:12 |
| MHz128 | n2diy, i meant with wireless cards | 08:12 |
| terryx | getting error while starting ubuntu... | 08:13 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92061 | 08:13 |
| Starnestommy | terryx: what error? | 08:13 |
| cwillu | MHz128, create an adhoc network on one machine, and connect to it from the other. If they're both ubuntu'ish machines (have avahi/bonjour), you should then be able to connect directly using names like foo.local | 08:13 |
| n2diy | MHz128, I don't think so, unless you can put one in bridge mode. | 08:13 |
| terryx | could not mount /dev/disk... | 08:13 |
| cwillu | MHz128, installing openssh-server on one machine will allow you to browse sftp://foo.local/ from the other machine | 08:14 |
| terryx | run chkdsk/r from windows ...this should fix the error | 08:14 |
| terryx | its says that... | 08:14 |
| MHz128 | cwillu, awesome!!! what is avahi/bonjour? | 08:14 |
| quizme_ | Starnestommy: apt-get install ebox ? | 08:14 |
| Starnestommy | quizme_: don't forget to prefix that command with sudo | 08:14 |
| cwillu | MHz128, it's a zero-conf technology that apple and linux/debian/ubuntu have | 08:15 |
| cwillu | MHz128, so once the two machines are on the same network, they can connect, without having to configure ip addresses first | 08:15 |
| herb | MHz128: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf | 08:15 |
| cwillu | !avahi | 08:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi | 08:15 |
| cwillu | silly bot | 08:15 |

| cwillu | NarbeH, what kind of laptop was that again | 08:16 |
| terryx | my file system has 350mb space left...how to increase that..?? | 08:16 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: Dell XPS 1530 | 08:16 |
| IchigoMorino | Whenever I send or receive a message in Pidgin it freezes. It would seem that it is chilly outside and the carrier pidgins are too frozen to deliver anything. | 08:17 |
| MHz128 | hahah | 08:18 |
| allsystemsarego | Hi, I have sound quality issues with my sound card - on the recording/microphone side - how do I go about fixing them? The output from "lspci -nn | grep Audio" is "00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia [1002:4383]" The noise to signal ratio is 5 to 1, I get a lot of static, and my voice is only heard very faintly in the background. Someone suggested that if I have I/O and dma options (or not), to go google for what they | 08:18 |
| allsystemsarego | are for my sound card, but Google didn't turn up anything relevant, or maybe I didn't put in the right keywords. Any ideas? | 08:18 |
| oobe | use amsn | 08:18 |
| terryx | my file system has 350mb space left...how to increase that..?? | 08:18 |
| Grasputin | or pidgin | 08:18 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 08:18 |
| systm | im having an use where firefox 3 is going full screen and covering everything on the screen, whenever it is started | 08:18 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92051/ | 08:19 |
| IchigoMorino | oobe: You shouldn't try to convert people, you should try to help them with their problems. I believe aMSN only supports MSN's protocol, right? Then it wouldn't work for me. | 08:19 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: did you install any plugins and/or have you updated your system recently | 08:19 |
| MHz128 | cwillu, do I use the "Link-Local" setting when creating the adhoc network? | 08:19 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: Kopete | 08:19 |
| oobe | IchigoMorino, yeah good point | 08:20 |
| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: I just installed Ubuntu in a VM, it has worked on all other operating systems I have used it on. And stop trying to convert me please. | 08:20 |
| oobe | Grasputin, You shouldn't try to convert people, you should try to help them with their problems. | 08:20 |
| j3nal | hi there..i having problem with initramfs..i'm not installing wubi..It happen after hang..then i off pc..after that..it show busybox..how to solve? | 08:20 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, line 128 is wrong, it should be ...i8042.nomux=1, not 18042.nomux=1 | 08:20 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, fix that, rerun sudo update-grub, and reboot | 08:21 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: I do tech support for a living man.... most people just want the simplest answer.... | 08:21 |
| Grasputin | So have you done any updates, checked syslog, etc? | 08:22 |
| Grasputin | Made any changes to your firewall? | 08:22 |
| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: If someone is asking how to fix a bruise on a pear; telling them to eat a banana instead isn't going to solve their problem. | 08:22 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: ok let me reset ir | 08:22 |
| cwillu | NarbeH, you fixed the line and reran update-grub, first though, right? | 08:23 |
| NarbeH | Starnestommy: Bios Revision A12 | 08:23 |
| cwillu | (in that order) | 08:23 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: yes | 08:23 |
| cwillu | k | 08:23 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: It does if they are really hungry | 08:23 |
| oobe | IchigoMorino, he gets ur point | 08:23 |

| ikonia | NarbeH: PLEASE stop | 08:24 |
| Grasputin | I've thrown out some questions... give us some background on what's changes since the last time it worked and when it started acting up.... what steps have you taken so far to resolve the issue | 08:24 |
| R0b0t1 | Ty | 08:24 |
| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: The only plugin I have enabled is Nautilus Integration, which was enabled by default so I didn't touch it. I did mess with the settings, but not too much. | 08:24 |
| NarbeH | cwillu: Starnestommy: thq a lot and byeeeeeeeeee :) have fun | 08:24 |

| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: I have AOL, WL, Google, and Yahoo! accounts. | 08:26 |
| mysticalzero | anyone use herrie here? Had no idea why "Sample rate or amount of channels not supported." was displayed when attempting to playback audio. Hmm.... *thinking hard* | 08:26 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: Ya might want to try disabling all accounts, signing into each one and if possible chat someone on each service up, to see what the response is like. Maybe one of the services is lagging and it's causing the whole program to slow down | 08:26 |
| Grasputin | I use AOL, MSN and Yahoo accounts in Pidgin personally as well | 08:27 |
| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: I just tried that. It happens with all four services. Whenever I send or receive a message the whole program freezes. | 08:30 |
| terryx | how do i copy or cut something to /host folder? | 08:30 |
| Grasputin | terryx: Where are you talking about exactly? | 08:30 |
| terryx | from ubuntu desktop to filesystem/host | 08:31 |
| terryx | its says permission denied | 08:31 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: Might try opening up Terminal and running pidgin from there.... send some messages and see if anything catches your eye there | 08:32 |
| cwillu | terryx, what's filesystem/host? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | terryx: there is no /host file system on ubuntu | 08:32 |
| paul68 | hi what is the syntax to chmod a complete dir with subdirs and files? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | terryx: who made /host ? | 08:32 |
| terryx | in the middle of download/installing vlc my ubuntu comes blank screen, says reloading demon(2 times) and logout automatic...what this? | 08:32 |
| Grasputin | You don't happen to be using proxy servers or anything right? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | terryx: deal with one question at a time please | 08:32 |
| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: Does Pidgin print anything in the terminal? | 08:32 |
| rww | cwillu, Grasputin, ikonia: terryx is using Wubi. In Wubi, the Windows partition that the Wubi files are on is mounted to /host/ | 08:32 |
| terryx | ok...when you goto file system in my computer there is a folder called host | 08:32 |
| cwillu | rww, ah, thanks | 08:33 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: Lemme check a few things real quick like | 08:33 |
| ikonia | terryx: where is that file system | 08:33 |
| terryx | yes......rww is 100% correct... | 08:33 |
| rww | paul68: chmod -R | 08:33 |

| terryx | how | 08:35 |
| ikonia | phpmonk: we don't care/need to see it | 08:35 |
| ikonia | terryx: within wubi - no idea | 08:35 |
| phpmonk | ikonia, beta answers is big joke | 08:35 |
| terryx | ok... | 08:35 |
| ikonia | phpmonk: I just said we don't care/need to hear about it | 08:35 |
| ikonia | phpmonk: it is not on topic to this channel | 08:35 |
| rww | terryx: I haven't used Wubi recently, either, so I'm not sure how to help. Are the files you're copying from readable by you? Are you able to create new files in the directory you're copying to? (issue "touch /host/path/to/directory/test" to check) | 08:35 |

| cwillu | paul68, good way to leave yourself open to all sorts of potential security issues, etc | 08:37 |
| IchigoMorino | Grasputin: "gstreamer: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" | 08:37 |
| rww | paul68: No idea. Generally, though, messing with permissions in system directories is a bad idea. | 08:37 |

| paul68 | cwillu: I was thinking that this might be because I don't have enough rights to access the www folder | 08:38 |
| cwillu | paul68, change the group (not the user (chmod -R :yourusername instead of chmod -R username)), and set it on just the subfolder you want | 08:38 |

| cwillu | saranya, locate <piece of name> (database is updated nightly, or by running sudo updatedb) | 08:40 |
| paul68 | cwillu: since I am not even able to create any directories in the www folder | 08:40 |
| cwillu | paul68, so, sudo mkdir /var/www/folder | 08:40 |
| cwillu | and then set the permissions on it | 08:40 |

| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: If it's spitting out a *LOT* of messages about sound related stuff, then I would recommend addressing the sound card to actually resolve the issue | 08:40 |
| paul68 | cwillu: ok will do | 08:40 |
| cwillu | terryx, you know pastebin? | 08:41 |
| Grasputin | Seems Gstreamer's for webcams and stuff | 08:41 |

| ubottu | terryx: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 08:41 |
| cwillu | terryx, pastebin the contents of ~/.xsession-errors | 08:41 |
| rww | IchigoMorino: or you could turn off sounds in Pidgin. There's an option for it in Preferences. | 08:41 |
| saranya | any one know how to find a file is exist in the system or not and where through terminal | 08:41 |
| cwillu | saranya, locate <piece of name> (database is updated nightly, or by running sudo updatedb) | 08:41 |
| cwillu | saranya, pay attention, it's not nice to ask a question, miss the answer somebody typed in 3 seconds later, and then re-ask the question 2 minutes later :( | 08:42 |
| Grasputin | IchigoMorino: rww's got a point as well | 08:42 |
| rww | Grasputin: ah. Seems IchigoMorino left. I wondered why my tab completion stopped working :( | 08:42 |
| terryx | my ubuntu screen goes blank and says reloading demons (2 times) and logout(ask for user and password)..why??????? | 08:43 |

| cwillu | WebcamWonder, where is the package from? | 08:46 |
| WebcamWonder | cwillu: pidgin 2.5.3 | 08:46 |
| ikonia | iamelite: iptables, or a proxy package like squid | 08:46 |
| WebcamWonder | cwillu: A dependency for it | 08:46 |
| cwillu | WebcamWonder, check if the -backports repo has it | 08:47 |
| cwillu | terryx, pastebin the contents of ~/.xsession-errors | 08:47 |
| cwillu | terryx, you just gave me a line of text out of irc | 08:47 |
| WebcamWonder | cwillu: Ok... I have never dealth with the backports before... want to give me a headstart? | 08:47 |

| onetinsoldier | iamelite: i'm not familiar with doing connection sharing, but it's done with iptables as ikonia said. there is an app that might help make it somewhat easy called 'firestarter' | 08:48 |
| cwillu | terryx, open that file, and pastebin the contents | 08:48 |
| rww | WebcamWonder, cwillu: pidgin isn't in intrepid-backports | 08:48 |

| terryx | what file | 08:48 |

| terryx | which is in log? | 08:48 |

| WebcamWonder | Found it... It addressed a critical vulnerability published on 2008-12-24 and was proceeded to be patched with 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3 | 08:51 |

| terryx | even nvidia.. | 09:01 |
| doggzz | help with broked bunty? | 09:01 |
| bazhang | doggzz, what is the exact error message you got | 09:01 |
| cwillu | terryx, nothing jumping out at me from that, can you pastebin /var/log/messages? | 09:02 |
| bazhang | doggzz, paste.ubuntu.com with the exact error message | 09:02 |
| rww | hmm. I vaguely remember a troll that wandered into #ubuntu a while ago. They called Ubuntu "bunty" too. | 09:02 |
| systm | how would i add something to $PATH | 09:02 |
| cwillu | systm, /etc/environment (global), or by doing a set in your ~/.bashrc | 09:03 |
| cwillu | systm, be _very_ careful what you add to your path though | 09:03 |
| doggzz | bazhang bunty error messages --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92080/ | 09:03 |
| cwillu | i.e., your homedir would be a bad idea, as would ./ | 09:03 |
| systm | cwillu: if i wanted to add my adb for android where should i put that then? | 09:04 |
| Starnestommy | br4d_id: I'm not sure how to fix that | 09:04 |
| iamelite | ok i tried using iptables to share my internet connection but it says i must log into a root terminal, which.... its not letting me do. or so says the only tutorial i could find | 09:04 |
| bazhang | doggzz, what were you doing when you got the error; please be very specific | 09:04 |
| cwillu | systm, not sure what that is, but /usr/local/bin is the usual place for customization outside of apt | 09:04 |
| doggzz | bazhang i did a bunty-apt-get-dist-upgrade-edgy-elephant and got that bunty error :( | 09:05 |
| br4d_id | Starnestommy: thanks, it was already a help. Now I will try to google with the error messages | 09:05 |
| iamelite | what is this set of ipv4 settings in my networking | 09:05 |
| bazhang | doggzz, there is no such thing. | 09:05 |
| iamelite | i see one that says "shared to other computer" | 09:05 |
| doggzz | bazhang i did get an error --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92080/ | 09:05 |

| jim_p | ardchoille, evolution can do it | 09:10 |
| ackbahr | Hi! I tried installing and uninstalling and reinstalling all packages with the word "flash" in it, but video streams still won't work.... How do I make this work? | 09:10 |

| Solarbaby | I've spent nearly 48 hours now trying to geti dual monitors working with Xinerama and its been such a nightmare | 09:11 |
| jim_p | ardchoille, seamonkey if it exists then? | 09:11 |
| ubuntu-org | yeah, i've got a disk ubuntu, and it's free, how cool ^_^ | 09:11 |
| jim_p | ackbahr, :) | 09:11 |
| jim_p | ardchoille, btw, cant thunderbird do it? | 09:12 |
| Solarbaby | if an OS is this hard for dual monitors, and it masters so many other things.. I dunno.. its a horrible experience | 09:12 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, what video card? | 09:12 |
| jim_p | ardchoille, and there is also google calendar (dunno if its the same) | 09:12 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, it's generally not hard, but there's alot of really out of date guides out there | 09:12 |
| ardchoille | jim_p: not sure, but I'd like to stay with gnome/gtk apps if possible, and seamonkey is quite large just for a simple diary | 09:13 |
| Solarbaby | Hello cwillu.. Internal video on a Compaq Evo D510 which is a Intel based chipset... and a Voodoo Banshee 16 meg version | 09:13 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, across two seperate cards isn't going to work unless they're almost identical cards :( | 09:13 |
| ardchoille | Solarbaby: this channel works best for support questions, complaining about something is not beneficial | 09:13 |
| Solarbaby | ardchoille: I had to vent.. nobody else I know would even understand what I've been going through | 09:14 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, in theory it's possible, but acceleration is nearly impossible (windows falls back to running both cards under vesa, which might work here, haven't tried it) | 09:14 |
| jim_p | ardchoille, let me look at apt cache then | 09:14 |
| jim_p | cwillu, what cand are you on? | 09:14 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, from a single dual-head card, it's pretty easy though | 09:14 |
| jim_p | *card | 09:14 |
| jim_p | oooops | 09:14 |
| cwillu | cwillu, radeon's, nvidia's, intel's, I have dual-heads on them all :p | 09:14 |
| jim_p | i meann Solarbaby, sorry | 09:14 |
| ardchoille | jim_p: gjots2 looks like it will work, dual pane text editor for groups in a single file | 09:14 |
| Solarbaby | cwillu: I dont care if they do nice graphics or not.. as long as simple software works | 09:15 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, are you trying to dual head across two different cards, one of which is intel, and the other is a voodoo? | 09:15 |
| Solarbaby | cwillu: yes | 09:15 |
| Solarbaby | cwillu: 3d stuff isn't a big issue.. its just a internet computer | 09:16 |
| cwillu | if so, can I suggest that your life would be tremendously easier if you just bought the cheapest nvidia on the market, and used the dualhead on that instead? | 09:16 |
| Solarbaby | cwillu: I would certainly consider it... if its an agp card it has to be very tiny ment for small form factors.. if its ISA then it can be a little larger.. (space issues on this) | 09:17 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, if you insist, I do have a passing interest in being able to do what you want, if you give me an email address I could post you in a week or so (when I have some time) | 09:17 |
| joot | When I issue this command it come back as invalid john@scratchy:~$ autoconf freedroidRPG, 0.11.1 any suggestion please | 09:17 |
| cwillu | Solarbaby, you can get agp's in that form factor | 09:17 |

| cwillu | iamelite, mask is really just a number between 1 and 32 (255.255.255.0 is, for instance, just a really verbose way of saying '24' (255.255.255.0 sets the first 24 bits) | 09:30 |

| cwillu | iamelite, gateway and address need to be the identical for that many bits (so, 255.255.255.0 (or /24), they need to be 192.168.1.x) | 09:31 |
| iamelite | cwillu yeah i remember that, just dont remember what value for a local | 09:31 |
| cwillu | (or 192.168.10.x, or whatever, as long as its the same) | 09:31 |
| cwillu | iamelite, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.somethingIcan'tRemember.x | 09:31 |

| joot | rww: That is the root problem when I cd then ./configure it comes back no such file or dir | 09:35 |
| rww | !locales | Mageiriki-me-bas | 09:35 |
| ubottu | Mageiriki-me-bas: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 09:35 |
| cua0 | cwillu: it's recognizing the external hdd, shows in the gui, but when you click the icon in "places" menu it does nothing. | 09:35 |
| rww | joot: right. What happens when you issue "ls configure"? Do you get any output? | 09:35 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | rww, thanks! | 09:35 |
| rww | joot: sorry, "ls -l configure" | 09:35 |
| joot | rww: I will try | 09:36 |
| cwillu | cua0, sorry, running off to bed, but try figuring out an equivilent mount command, might give you more feedback | 09:36 |
| cwillu | cua0, if you still run windows, might be as simple as rebooting into windows, running a chkdsk on it, and then doing a clean reboot into ubuntu | 09:37 |
| cua0 | cwillu: seems my fstab is not showing properly i'm going to try a few other things. thanks for the help | 09:37 |
| cwillu | if that solves it, ubuntu can be told to force mount it (there's even a chkdsk utility for ntfs), but it's not really considered safe to do so | 09:37 |
| cwillu | (although I do, as I have booted windows on this machine in nearly two years) | 09:37 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | ehm, may i make one more question | 09:38 |
| cwillu | s/have/haven't/ | 09:38 |
| terryx | cwillu: i am here, any progress? | 09:38 |
| joot | rww: ls: cannot access configure: No such file or directory ....this is from desktop where freedroid is | 09:38 |
| cua0 | aye, i think i broke the system when i refused to reboot after kernel update installs. | 09:38 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | Is there a script to install ubuntu ON a bootable usb-stick? | 09:38 |
| rww | joot: what about "pwd"? | 09:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Mageiriki-me-bas: yes... although i don't know if you can call it a script exactly | 09:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Mageiriki-me-bas: it's call unetbootin | 09:39 |
| onetinsoldier | !unetbootin | 09:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin | 09:39 |
| onetinsoldier | hmmm | 09:39 |
| joot | rww: john@scratchy:~/Desktop$ pwd | 09:39 |
| joot | /home/john/Desktop | 09:39 |
| joot | john@scratchy:~/Desktop$ | 09:39 |
| cwillu | Mageiriki-me-bas, onetinsoldier, there are scripts, but there's also a simple menu item in one of the config menus to create a usb bootdevice | 09:39 |
| rww | joot: okay. Let's back up and I'll run through the basic steps... | 09:40 |
| joot | rww: cool | 09:40 |
| onetinsoldier | cwillu: that thing doesn't seem to work for a lot of people from what i've seen, didn't work for me either | 09:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Mageiriki-me-bas: | 09:41 |
| onetinsoldier | oops | 09:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Mageiriki-me-bas: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 09:41 |
| onetinsoldier | cwillu: but thanks! :-) | 09:41 |
| rww | joot: 1) download the .tar.gz file to your Desktop. 2) tar -zxf freedroidrpg-0.11.1.tar.bz2 3) cd freedroidrpg-0.11.1 4) ./configure 5) make 6) make install | 09:41 |
| rww | joot: now. where are you up to in that list? | 09:41 |
| joot | rww: 3 | 09:42 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ file /dev/tty0; /dev/tty0: character special (4/0)' What does '(4/0)' mean? | 09:42 |
| onetinsoldier | rww: you should consider having him use 'checkinstall' | 09:42 |
| joot | rww: then I went cd desktop so that was wrong I guess | 09:42 |
| cwillu | bullgard4, it's a device node, of a particular type (corresponding to a particular driver in the kernel) | 09:42 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | cwillu... | 09:43 |
| rww | joot: Yeah, you need to be in the freedroidrpg directory for configure and make to work. Try doing that and see if it helps ;) | 09:43 |
| simplenewb | how do I connect to my home PC running tightvnc from within ubuntu? I'm on the same home wifi network at the moment. | 09:43 |
| * cwillu wasn't kidding about going to bed now :p | 09:43 | |
| joot | rww: will do back soon... | 09:44 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | cwillu, actually i need one linux installed ON a usb, not a usb to install linux on hard disk. | 09:44 |
| cwillu | Mageiriki-me-bas, look at the eeepc install guides, should largely work the same way | 09:44 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | cwillu,:D | 09:45 |
| bullgard4 | cwillu: Please explain the particularity. I cannot see an assignment to a number 0 and to a number 4 in your message. | 09:45 |
| joot | rww: Success many thanks sorry I am new to compile stuff | 09:45 |
| cwillu | bullgard4, look up major/minor numbers | 09:45 |
| rww | joot: awesome :). Glad I could help! | 09:45 |
| cwillu | bullgard4, and stop keeping me from my warm comfy bed :p | 09:46 |

| onetinsoldier | anyone here, besides me, find the man page for the 'find' command a little unwieldy and wish that they could get started learning it via interactive examples? i have found a great tool/app that does this! | 09:48 |
| cua0 | and i'm out now. thanks for the tip cwillu. it was /etc/fstab corrupted or restored to a previous version and the usb hdd had an unclean dismount from windows so i had to add the -force option in /etc/fstab anyways. | 09:48 |
| cua0 | onetinsoldier: i can honestly say i've never once man'd find | 09:48 |
| onetinsoldier | cua0: oh man.. it's quite a page! if you ask me. the one for lsof looks pretty daunting too, but for some reason i don't have too much trouble understandin it | 09:49 |
| onetinsoldier | cua0: if you're interested... http://www.kbrandt.com/2008/06/pygnomefind-gui-frontend-to-gnu-find.html | 09:51 |

| systm | how would i figure out whats preventing my G1 from being recognized by adb from the Android SDK Tools? | 09:52 |

| Ceres | how do I find what the device name for my wireless network adaptor for my laptop without being connected to a network? | 09:54 |
| Ceres | I am using gutsy on a dell latitude c610 and setting up wpa | 09:55 |
| cua0 | Ceres: usually with those you need to be connected to a hardline first and download the restricted drivers. | 09:56 |
| skringla | Ceres: why do you need the name of the wieless adapter for setting up wpa | 09:56 |
| Ceres | the drivers work fine | 09:56 |
| Ceres | I am just looking for the device name | 09:56 |
| cua0 | oh, hah, i misunderstood | 09:56 |
| cua0 | try lspci | 09:56 |
| Ceres | thanks | 09:56 |
| Starnestommy | j3nal: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 09:56 |
| Ceres | lspci doesn't give device names (like ath0 or something of that sort) | 09:57 |
| Ceres | (or eth0 eth1) | 09:57 |
| cua0 | oh, then do ifconfig | 09:57 |
| Ceres | ifconfig doesn't give that info if it isn't connected to a network | 09:58 |
| Ceres | on the wireless | 09:58 |
| cua0 | should be a -all attribute | 09:58 |
| Ceres | thanks | 09:58 |
| CornholioTR | how do you manually mount an external usb hdd? | 09:59 |

| skringla | CornholioTR: did you try 'sudo fdisk -l' | 10:00 |
| onetinsoldier | CornholioTR: does it show up in fdisk -l ? | 10:00 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as dragon_flam | ||
| CornholioTR | yeah | 10:01 |
| Ceres | thank you cua0, that worked | 10:01 |
| cua0 | Ceres: cool :) | 10:01 |
| onetinsoldier | CornholioTR: ok, then mount it with info from that | 10:01 |
| CornholioTR | ok | 10:01 |
| skringla | CornholioTR: yes, itdid show up on there then? | 10:01 |
| cua0 | skringla: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/09/25/ubuntu-tricks-how-to-mount-your-windows-partition-and-make-it-readwritable/ | 10:01 |
| cua0 | i just used that as reference to mount my usb hdd and windows partition. | 10:02 |
| cua0 | er sorry skringla , i meant to link that to CornholioTR | 10:02 |
| cua0 | CornholioTR: check the link i pasted ^^ | 10:02 |
| skringla | cua0: I thought I had said something really wrong | 10:02 |
| cua0 | not at all | 10:03 |
| cua0 | CornholioTR: it's probably not mounting because it was not unmounted from windows properly. so you'll have to -force it | 10:04 |
| CornholioTR | i last used it with linux | 10:04 |
| CornholioTR | it's ntfs though | 10:04 |
| cua0 | try it that way anyways. | 10:04 |
| kevin34 | sorry to jump in the conversation late but you may be able to use fstab to do what you want | 10:05 |
| skringla | CornholioTR: ntfs suport is buggy, I lost a hole partion doing what you are doing, I would mount it to windows and then unmount it just in case | 10:05 |
| oma-opa_ | hi i found the language-support-de package using synaptic, I want to install it, so openoffice will be in german, the language-support-en is already installed, do I need to uninstall the english one or will the german one be used after installation? | 10:05 |
| CornholioTR | skringla: i don't have win right now | 10:06 |
| cua0 | kevin34: yea, fstab is documented in the link i pasted. | 10:06 |
| skringla | CornholioTR: I sugjest you change the format as soon as posible to fat then, if you can get back into it | 10:06 |
| kevin34 | cool cua0 | 10:07 |

| onetinsoldier | Lou_: you running ubuntu 8.10? | 10:08 |
| skringla | CornholioTR: fat is alot more stable than NTFS unless you never plan on accessing it with windows then ext3 or some thing | 10:08 |
| Lou_ | onetinsoldier, yes. | 10:08 |
| CornholioTR | i originally formatted as ntfs because i had some dvd images | 10:09 |
| CornholioTR | i'll probably format it as ext3 when i get a chance | 10:09 |
| onetinsoldier | Lou_: i would try Applications --> System Tools --> Report a problem | 10:09 |
| onetinsoldier | oma-opa_: what is the language you have your system set to? | 10:09 |
| kevin34 | hey this is wayyyy off topic but does anyone here know much about car insurance? | 10:10 |

| skringla | CornholioTR: I prefer fat because it is compatible with every thing at least on my externals and thumb drives, windows will not read ext3 to my knoedge | 10:11 |
| Lou_ | onetinsoldier, can't. That program is also affected. | 10:11 |
| onetinsoldier | Lou_: roger. hang on | 10:12 |
| kc8pxy | skringla: it will, butnot without lots of convincing | 10:14 |

| bhavik | any one help me for install the printer on workstation in ltsp ubentu server | 10:41 |
| Gnea | !printer | bhavik | 10:41 |
| ubottu | bhavik: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 10:41 |
| kevin34 | yes thats why i just said sorry and didnt know | 10:41 |
| MistDragn | thats the main reason i dont use *nix as my primary OS.. drivers. | 10:41 |
| MistDragn | but i would love to get at some raw packets >:> | 10:42 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: works fine here, most drivers are built-in | 10:42 |
| Gnea | more drivers in ubuntu than in vista, that's for sure | 10:42 |
| MistDragn | yeah i am a die hard winblose user and i haven't ever touched vista except when i absolutely had no choice | 10:43 |
| ardchoille | MistDragn: Building your own computers is easy to learn and allows you to pick and choose hardware that you already know runs well with Ubuntu. | 10:43 |
| Gnea | XP has come a long way, they've done a really good job with it | 10:43 |
| MistDragn | well i am in the market to get a new pc after the holidays | 10:43 |
| yuan | == | 10:43 |
| The_Joe_ | I have a second HDD in my PC - but everytime I login I need to manually mount it and authenticate, is there anyway I can make it mount automatically? | 10:43 |
| MistDragn | but in order to be sold on a *nix dist i'd need to know that i can still game with it | 10:43 |
| Insectoid | Gnea: Seven years later... | 10:43 |

| gui____ | hi | 10:44 |
| MistDragn | just curious if ubunut can run pc compatible games or if i'd need a virtual machine | 10:44 |
| MistDragn | and if so, how much a virtual machine would degrade performance | 10:44 |
| The_Joe_ | MistDragn, Wine/CrossOver/Cedega will _help_, but they're not perfect. | 10:44 |
| ardchoille | !wine | MistDragn you might look into this | 10:44 |
| ubottu | MistDragn you might look into this: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 10:44 |
| gui____ | I have a problem one of my disk is very poor in data transfer all details are there : http://pastebin.com/m45f13fa0 pls help me ;) | 10:44 |
| Insectoid | MistDragn: Wine will let you run some things -- it really depends what type of games you want to run. | 10:44 |
| bhavik | Thank you very much... i go through... | 10:45 |
| RocketJumper21 | MistDragn use WINE or CrossOver | 10:45 |
| MistDragn | wonder if i'd be better off getting a mac with linux core and running ubuntu as an optional boot OS | 10:45 |
| Ad_ | wat about ubuntu as PRIM and wind as VM | 10:45 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: cedega is also great for games, but be prepared to pay for it | 10:46 |
| Gnea | it's cheap, though | 10:46 |
| MistDragn | doesn't that defeat the purpose of open source ;) | 10:46 |
| Insectoid | MistDragn: If you want to pay the "apple tax" -- the smartest thing in my opinion is to build your own box (it isn't hard and you can install everything from xp to Ubuntu to Leopard on it with a little research) | 10:46 |
| The_Joe_ | Gnea, It's GPL so getting it for free is OK. I guess. | 10:46 |
| Gnea | !cedega | MistDragn | 10:46 |
| ubottu | MistDragn: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 10:46 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: not at all | 10:46 |
| sara- | !ubuntu | 10:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 10:47 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: do note: dell sells computers with ubuntu on it, dell makes money off of it. there's nothing, anywhere, that states that you can't make money with it. | 10:47 |
| Insectoid | Now if only Linux accessibility was a little less ... epic fail? | 10:48 |
| Gnea | hrm yes, there are many issues yet to be tackled | 10:48 |
| Gnea | like this pulseaudio thing | 10:48 |
| The_Joe_ | MistDragn, Open Source just means the Source is avaliable - "Free Software" does not mean free. | 10:48 |
| MistDragn | you'd just think if the source was available that someone would make a free version | 10:49 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: there's a difference between "free speech" and "free beer" | 10:49 |
| Insectoid | Gnea: Yeah -- and just generally Orca. I can't believe anyone actually uses that without going mad. | 10:49 |
| The_Joe_ | MistDragn, There probably is, you might even be able to get the source from somewhere and build it yourself | 10:49 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: only if you're blind and interpret things without any common sense | 10:49 |
| ardchoille | Insectoid: perhaps the orca/Ubuntu devs need to hear input from users like you, sounds to me like an opportunity for you to help make things better :) | 10:50 |
| fde | MistDragn: Find a case where that isn't true. | 10:50 |
| MistDragn | the amount of effort to find a case doesn't outweight how bad i care to be right ;) | 10:50 |
| Gnea | MistDragn: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html | 10:50 |
| MistDragn | er, it does :> | 10:51 |
| Insectoid | ardchoille: The Orca devs are very well aware of their issues -- not being able to click Install on the desktop without jumping through hoops on the LiveCD, for instance, they just don't seem to ever make progress on fixing them. | 10:51 |
| fde | MistDragn: You're simply wrong though, every case where a software is GPL, there is a free version around. | 10:51 |
| MistDragn | im fine with that | 10:51 |
| itai-michaelson | hi, i'm getting an error on boot that /home/.dmrc is not owned by user. i found a solution here :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=971110, but my question is- do i need to write HOME and USER in capital letters when inputting the commands? | 10:52 |
| apparle | data gets copied very very slowly on USB flash disk.... whereas it is copied normally on windows | 10:52 |
| ardchoille | Insectoid: patience is a virtue, sometimes devs on one project are also devs on other projects. | 10:52 |
| fde | Insectoid: Complaining in an IRC channel doesn't improve anything, the Ubuntu name is so fitting for open source, its only as good as its separate parts, and right now the only people interested particularly in accessibility are Sun. | 10:53 |
| MistDragn | are there any links in the topic that would enable me to find pro-ubuntu compatible hardware? | 10:53 |
| Gnea | itai-michaelson: it's saying $HOME and $USER not HOME and USER, so yes, they need to be uppercase | 10:53 |
| MistDragn | as well as that would indicate how well ubuntu performs from a music/video media creation standpoint? | 10:53 |
| ardchoille | !hcl | MistDragn | 10:53 |
| ubottu | MistDragn: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 10:53 |
| Insectoid | ardchoille: It's not even so much the devs -- they're quite great guys, it's just gah! They need more people working on this stuff, but when getting the system setup to even start helping is so bloody difficult they won't get said help -- vicious cycle. | 10:53 |
| MistDragn | sweet thx | 10:53 |
| Gnea | fde: complaining does, actually, get attention. complaining in a constructive manner actually does help. | 10:54 |

| MistDragn | i use a mixer for my audio recording, firewire connection. | 10:59 |
| MistDragn | direct line in works but you lose quality | 10:59 |
| ardchoille | mysticdarkhack: you can always copy a gdm theme from /ust/share/gdm/themes and modify it to suit your needs | 11:00 |
| The_Joe_ | mysticdarkhack, What he said. | 11:00 |

| MistDragn | you can't put your username/pass in the command? | 11:10 |
| MistDragn | i know jack about ubuntu | 11:10 |
| MistDragn | i guess it's not smart to have your username pass in a free text file for security reasons | 11:10 |
| The_Joe_ | Of course not | 11:11 |
| MistDragn | write a little encryption/decryption app and run that on startup, have it interpret an encrypted file in order to submit the u/p | 11:11 |

| mysticdarkhack | ardchoille, once agian, thank you | 11:44 |
| ardchoille | yw | 11:44 |
| nibbler | moza: btw, i think best practice is using "save-upgrade"... just for future use.... | 11:44 |
| actafool | anyone know how to fix the problem with screen flickering ? | 11:44 |
| nibbler | actafool: there is 1k possible reasons for screen flickering | 11:45 |
| terryx | my ubuntu hangs random amount of time...some time auto logout in middle of any work...movies...mp3...downloading...what i do?????????????????????? | 11:45 |
| actafool | lol | 11:45 |
| moza | nibbler, does it save the current settings just in case? | 11:45 |
| Koordin | nibbler this is what happens during the minute of "connected" : http://paste.ubuntu.com/92152/ (syslog) | 11:45 |
| mysticdarkhack | Anyone know a good app to monitor bandwidth cap for ubuntu? | 11:45 |
| actafool | fux ;( | 11:45 |
| nibbler | actafool: often TFT screens flicker when connected via RGB signal, bad shielding, wrong freq, broken device etc | 11:45 |
| Fret18 | backup and reinstall | 11:45 |
| mysticdarkhack | just curious here | 11:45 |
| actafool | well my screen isnt tft | 11:45 |
| actafool | its Compaq p700 17' | 11:45 |
| amortvigil | does anyone how to run netcfg in fish? | 11:45 |
| MistDragn | yes. | 11:45 |
| terryx | my ubuntu hangs random amount of time...some time auto logout in middle of any work...movies...mp3...downloading...what i do?????????????????????? | 11:46 |
| nibbler | moza: it just upgrades packets taht you already have on your systems to more recent version, and only breakes packeges once in a while :D | 11:46 |
| MistDragn | terryx; reinstall the OS | 11:46 |
| amortvigil | MistDragn: if you do please tell me | 11:46 |
| actafool | it write requered resolution and refresh frequency must be 1024x768 @ 85 HZ | 11:46 |
| MistDragn | amortvigil: i dont, but someone does | 11:46 |
| actafool | but my refresh freq is 60 hz | 11:46 |
| ardchoille | mysticdarkhack: I use gkrellm to monitor bandwidth, cpu, procs, hd sizes, email, memory, swap and other things, it's a great app | 11:46 |
| actafool | maybe thats the problem idk | 11:46 |
| MistDragn | who's idk? | 11:46 |
| terryx | have done 3-4 times..installed with windows xp...(inside windows) | 11:46 |
| moza | nibbler, ok, thanks, i take good note of this, save-upgrade :) | 11:46 |
| actafool | idk = i dont know | 11:46 |
| Fret18 | terryx: make the files backup and reinstall ubuntu. | 11:46 |
| nibbler | moza: safe, not save | 11:47 |
| nibbler | Koordin: what interface are you using to connect to inet? | 11:47 |
| MistDragn | TCP/IP | 11:47 |
| moza | ok, safe-upgrade | 11:47 |
| mysticdarkhack | ardchoille, well can it monitor bandwidth usage | 11:47 |
| terryx | u understand..inside windows like webui | 11:47 |
| Koordin | nibbler, eth0 for the wifi | 11:47 |
| terryx | dual boot of windows and ubuntu | 11:47 |
| Fret18 | terryx: wubi? | 11:47 |
| terryx | yes | 11:47 |
| nibbler | Koordin: eth0 for wifi sounds strange enough, but ok | 11:47 |
| terryx | wubi......... | 11:47 |
| moza | i'll see if this upgrade did any good to the rest of my problems, have a good day and thanks again | 11:47 |
| MistDragn | wubi. | 11:47 |
| Fret18 | terryx: then, it's a bit worse... | 11:48 |
| terryx | why? | 11:48 |
| mysticdarkhack | ardchoille, comcast and other isp is start to cap bandwidth so just need something to help know my usage | 11:48 |
| Fret18 | terryx: wubi installer will probably have to download all files again. | 11:48 |
| Fret18 | terryx: have you tried loggin in using failsafe mode? | 11:48 |
| ardchoille | mysticdarkhack: oh, no, I don't think gkrellm monitors how much you've used, it just displays the current and last minute or so | 11:48 |
| terryx | no | 11:48 |
| Fret18 | logging* | 11:48 |
| MistDragn | mysticdarkhack; IPCOP? | 11:49 |
| terryx | whats that option for> | 11:49 |
| terryx | ? | 11:49 |
| Fret18 | terryx: try it. There's this option in the login screen. | 11:49 |
| mysticdarkhack | ardchoille, I find app for windows but I'm a full linux user | 11:49 |
| nibbler | Koordin: avahi-daemon[4783]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.2 on eth1.IPv4. <--- avahi binds this ip to eth1, this might be the prblem, you have 2 NICs in same network? | 11:49 |
| terryx | then what? | 11:49 |
| Fret18 | terryx: then try doing an update. | 11:49 |
| terryx | why update | 11:49 |
| Koordin | nibbler, NICs ? | 11:49 |
| nibbler | Koordin: network interface cards | 11:49 |
| terryx | last time i do whole update and my ubuntu gets corrupted | 11:49 |
| Fret18 | terryx: if your Ubuntu has corrupted files, it can probably fix. | 11:50 |
| terryx | i have to install it again | 11:50 |
| mysticdarkhack | MistDragn, you tried it? | 11:50 |
| laperr | is there a ubuntu-ps3 room | 11:50 |
| terryx | how | 11:50 |
| terryx | with upate | 11:50 |
| terryx | ? | 11:50 |
| Fret18 | yes | 11:50 |
| ardchoille | mysticdarkhack: perhaps this? bandwidthd - Tracks usage of TCP/IP and builds html files with graphs | 11:50 |
| terryx | what about last time | 11:50 |
| nibbler | Koordin: like having wlan and cable connected at the same time, or even two of the same kind... | 11:50 |
| keule_on | hi there - i have a problem with the resolution under intrepid - i only have 800x600 and 60hz - there is nothing in my xorg.conf - and i dont have any idea.... the concept in intrepid changed i red - so does anybody have an idea? | 11:50 |
| Fret18 | terryx: my graphics card files were corrupted, but were fixed by an update. | 11:50 |
| nibbler | Koordin: as he is assigning IP to eth1, and you say you use eth0 | 11:50 |
| ardchoille | mysticdarkhack: apt-cache search bandwidth | more | 11:50 |
| mysticdarkhack | ardchoille, guess I'll give it a tried | 11:50 |
| Koordin | nibbler, i have to NICs, one on wifi, and one on ethernet, but the ethernet cable is not plugged and i don't want to use the ethernet interface (eth1) | 11:51 |
| mysticdarkhack | ardchoille, so you not worrying about bandwidth cap? | 11:51 |
| Fret18 | terryx: maybe you've done something wrong during the update setup. Try updating now. If it doesn't work, you'll probably have to reinstall Ubuntu. | 11:51 |
| nibbler | ok, but somehow it is assigend an ip, see the line i pasted b4. so you have 2 interfaces with same ip, this wont work obv. | 11:51 |
| nibbler | Koordin: | 11:51 |
| terryx | let me try one more thing | 11:51 |
| terryx | bye n thanx | 11:51 |
| Fret18 | ok | 11:51 |
| ardchoille | mysticdarkhack: I don't transfer enough to worry about it really | 11:51 |
| Fret18 | no problem. | 11:51 |

| ikonia | kexman_: don't worry about it, let ubuntu manage your kernel | 11:54 |
| kexman_ | nibbler: wll problem is that the guy who did this copyed his menu.lst | 11:54 |
| kexman_ | and that had initrd in it | 11:54 |
| kexman_ | but the file wasnt there | 11:55 |
| ikonia | kexman_: what is the actual problem your having ? | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | and i dont know what he could had did | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | i now have a kernel panick | 11:55 |
| nibbler | kexman_: what is he panicing about? | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | cant mount root fs on unknownblock(0,0) | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | i a now trying with root=/dev/sda1 | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | since that is where my / is | 11:55 |
| nibbler | try changing your root= parameter at boot prompt | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | there was some UUID in that | 11:55 |
| kexman_ | yeah that is what i want to to | 11:56 |
| Quinan | Is there any more update on a fix for using a USB headset with ubuntu? | 11:56 |
| nibbler | ah you did, good | 11:56 |
| kexman_ | but i dont now if i need th f initrd or not | 11:56 |
| ikonia | kexman_: the initrd paramater should be set | 11:56 |
| woody86 | can anyone help me figure out why I can connect to my WPA wireless with NM, but not WICD? | 11:56 |
| kexman_ | ikonia: problem is that there was no initrd there | 11:56 |
| ikonia | kexman_: and you should have the initrd file in your /boot directory | 11:56 |
| kexman_ | and i made one | 11:56 |
| kexman_ | there wasnt any | 11:56 |
| ikonia | kexman_: if your missing files like that I would not trust the integrity of your machine | 11:57 |
| ikonia | kexman_: I would re-install | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | hehehe :) | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | ikonia: well i think its just that | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | that gets made at compile time | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | right ? | 11:57 |
| ikonia | kexman_: no | 11:57 |
| ikonia | kexman_: I think you should re-install your system | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | ikonia: and i think not | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | i am not fond of reinstallations | 11:57 |
| Fret18 | lol | 11:57 |
| kexman_ | and i used gentoo on many ocasions | 11:57 |
| nibbler | kexman_: if its a fresh install anyway, it might be easieset | 11:58 |
| kexman_ | and i think this can be still fixed without reinstallations | 11:58 |
| kexman_ | well if that file is static like the ubuntu kernel | 11:58 |
| kexman_ | could anyone tell me where i could download it | 11:58 |
| ikonia | kexman_ if you are missing core files,I would not trust the integrity of yoru system, thats the reason I'm suggesting you re-install | 11:58 |
| kexman_ | and try it | 11:58 |
| nibbler | kexman_: boot, chroot into it, reinstall latest kernel, should setup everything | 11:58 |
| kexman_ | yeah nibbler that should work | 11:59 |
| kexman_ | one more thing where should i install grub ? to hd0 or hd0,0 if my installation lies on a single /dev/sda1/ | 11:59 |
| kexman_ | nibbler: thnks i was thinking the same | 11:59 |
| ikonia | kexman_: on the boot sector of your boot disk | 11:59 |
| nibbler | kexman_: hd0, but doesnt matter | 11:59 |
| kexman_ | okay | 12:00 |
| kexman_ | i was just trying to minimazi problems :) | 12:00 |
| kexman_ | man this ubuntu was a messed when i looked at it | 12:00 |
| kexman_ | /etc/fstab had only #commented out lines in it :) hihihihi :)) | 12:00 |
| ikonia | kexman_: thats why I suggest you re-install | 12:02 |

| troythetechguy | Good morning. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with the following separate partitions: /, /home. I created another partition for a future distro when I originally set this machine up. If I install ubuntu 8.10 64bit on the spare partition, will I be able to share the same /home directory without any issues? I assume 8.10 will show up in grub and allow me to choose which OS to use (8.04 or 8.10)? Anything else I should consider before s | 12:14 |
| troythetechguy | etting this up? | 12:14 |
| kexman_ | merry christmas nibbler ikonia :) | 12:14 |

| dremits | hey everyone! Just wanted to ask a question regarding the ubuntu article on connecting to the internet using speedtouch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch | 12:20 |
| dremits | The guide mentions extracting the firmware from the hardware but will these changes be then transferred back to the hardware or just stored on my hard drive. The point i'm asking is that if I set the speed touch modem up with Ubuntu, will the modem be affected in anyway when I use it with my other machine running Windows XP? | 12:20 |

| KrossX | Una pregunta, cómo hacer ALSA surround51 como predeterminado? | 12:40 |
| SoundGuyLptop | nibbler_ : but;s an IDE drive | 12:40 |
| nibbler_ | SoundGuyLptop: alternatively your secondary master harddrive has disappered, damages, dead etc | 12:40 |
| ardchoille | !es | KrossX | 12:41 |
| ubottu | KrossX: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | IDE drves show up as /dev/sd## now a days | 12:41 |
| SoundGuyLptop | even in 6.06 ? | 12:41 |
| nibbler_ | SoundGuyLptop: on the shell, type fdisk -l | 12:41 |
| KrossX | Oh, sorry. Thought this was spanish. XD | 12:41 |
| Slart | SoundGuyLptop: ouch.. why are you running 6.06? | 12:41 |
| nibbler_ | KrossX: there is some #ubuntu-es for sure | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | No idea on that SoundGuyLptop - i dont use that old stuff | 12:41 |
| KrossX | Oh, there's no trouble. | 12:41 |
| SoundGuyLptop | Slack_ : because it worked. until today. | 12:42 |
| nibbler_ | hehe | 12:42 |
| nibbler_ | bbl good luck to you SoundGuyLptop | 12:42 |
| KrossX | Question, how to make surround51 device as default in ALSA? | 12:42 |
| KrossX | I can't seem to access the wiki for the asoundrc... and most I found are just upmix for stereo. | 12:42 |
| alec | can anyone tell me how to navigate to a file, rather than a directory? | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | alec, clarify what you mean. | 12:44 |
| alec | im trying to navigate to /etc/hosts. and i either cant or dont know how | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | alec, that makes little sence... what do you mean by navigate? | 12:45 |
| fosco_ | alec: i can't understand the meaning of "navigate to a file" | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | to OPEN a file commane /path/to/file | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | gedit /path/to/whatever.txt | 12:45 |
| alec | ok | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | which makes MUCH more sence then navigate. :) | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | my Tom-Tom Navigates. :) | 12:46 |
| alec | dr_willis: well im jsut following the directions i found online, where they use navigate all the time | 12:46 |
| anold | Hey there am new just trying to learn java any 1 to help me? | 12:48 |
| Vinceman | does anybody know anything about the sound recorder? | 12:49 |
| AshTray- | anold: And what Java has to do with ubuntu ? | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | alec, cant say taht ive ever seen that term to open a file.. You navigate - ie : 'move to' a directory then work on files in the dir... | 12:49 |
| Vinceman | When you use the sound recorder, how do you know that input 'capture' is good enough? My sound is not recorded strongly enough.. :( | 12:50 |
| moza | nibbler_, that upgrade didn't solve my proxy problem :( does anybody have an idea on how to get rid of a proxy under 8.04 ? | 12:50 |
| * dr_willis Navigates to Grandmaws house. but does not Navigate to the Apple Pie :) he opens it.. | 12:51 | |
| Vinceman | nobody records sound? that's impossible | 12:51 |
| Vinceman | there are over 1200 people here! | 12:51 |
| moza | Vinceman, i use audacity to record sound | 12:51 |
| filthpig | anold: I guess there are better channels than this to get help with programming. You can try in #java | 12:51 |
| Vinceman | moza so the standard sound recorder is no good then? | 12:51 |
| filthpig | Vinceman: although there are 1200 people listed here, it doesn't mean they're all in front of their computer all the time | 12:52 |
| moza | and i adjust the capture volume so that it is high enough AND not too high to make noise | 12:52 |
| jercos | yeah, most of us live somewhere you'd have to be insane to be awake at the current hour. | 12:52 |
| moza | Vinceman, i don't know what is the standard sound recorder | 12:52 |
| moza | and if i need another adjustment on the capture, i use alsamixer | 12:52 |
| alec | dr_willis: well i guess i just meant, how do i navigate to the apple pie | 12:52 |
| ardchoille | Vinceman: you also must consider that some of use don't even use sound, I'm not even sure if mine works | 12:53 |
| Vinceman | gnome-sound-recorder 2.24.0.1 | 12:53 |
| filthpig | btw Vinceman, if you right-click on the sound icon, select "open volume control" and go to file - change device and go to the capture device, you can adjust capture levels there | 12:53 |
| slacker_nl | i have a a file /path/to/b.sh and there is a symlink /another/path/to/c.sh, and b.sh uses dirname $0, but when executing c, the dirname is incorrect, what application/cmd can i use to get the correct dirname? | 12:53 |
| jercos | readlink? | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | alec, that would be going to the directory/folder.. with the use of the 'cd' command. | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | cd /home/grandma/kitchen/fridge/ | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | eat apple.pie | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | :) | 12:54 |
| ardchoille | slacker_nl: have you moved the file that /another/path/to/c.sh links to? | 12:55 |
| Vinceman | where's this sound icon? | 12:55 |
| Vinceman | filthpig? | 12:55 |
| moza | Vinceman, probably at the bottom right of your screen if you didn't move the toolbars | 12:56 |
| jimmy__ | Mary X-mas everybody | 12:56 |
| alec | dr_willis: yes i see the difference, but you see what i meant. after all your a doctor. it was just an issue of semantics. | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | alec, semantics kills :) | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | alec, i still use the term 'directory' not folder.. also.. im old-skool | 12:57 |
| clamiax | hi | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | alec, you were allready navigating to the file :) is what had us confused. | 12:57 |
| jercos | well, I mean, you don't cf to a folder, you cd to a directory... | 12:58 |
| slacker_nl | jercos: looks like i need that | 12:58 |
| slacker_nl | tyvm | 12:58 |
| jercos | slacker_nl: indeed. you are quite welcome :) | 12:58 |
| alec | dr_willis: yes, im new to command line, its what had me confused, i thought i could make the file my working directory jsut as i would /Desktop, for example. | 12:59 |
| slacker_nl | i knew there was a command that did it, but forgot the name :) | 12:59 |
| clamiax | I'm trying to get my mini DV videos out of my camera over Firewire/USB on Ubuntu 8.04. I tried to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire#Method%205.%20%27GROUP=video%27 . Unlucky i didn't solved my problem and i get the following error "WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394!" | 12:59 |
| clamiax | I tried to run Kino as root but i get the same problem, i googled a lot (and i'm still googling) but without success | 12:59 |
| alec | dr_willis:but its in fact a different command to open the file. as i have now learned. | 12:59 |
| jercos | clamiax: sudo modprobe raw1394 would be my first instinct | 12:59 |
| clamiax | my camera is a Canon MV900, does anyone have an idea? | 13:00 |
| clamiax | jercos: already did, it was my first attempt. | 13:00 |
| jercos | okay, if you run "id" is "video" one of the groups you are in? | 13:00 |
| clamiax | jercos: i also loaded the dv1394 module | 13:00 |
| SoundGuyLptop | nibbler_: thanks. | 13:00 |
| clamiax | jercos: yes, i'm in the video group. I also tried to run Kino as root, btw. | 13:00 |
| SoundGuyLptop | nibbler_ : hdc1 was the cdrom, we edited in grub to be hda1 | 13:00 |
| martintux1 | cany anyone help me with mysql lamp? | 13:01 |
| jercos | how odd. and ls -lah /dev/raw1394? | 13:01 |
| robinpahwa | My Vim has stopped displaying colors when i use to edit my dot c files or any other program file, it just shows me black text - any body has any idea ? | 13:01 |
| jercos | robinpahwa: does it start showing colors again if you do :syntax on? | 13:02 |
| clamiax | crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 2008-12-24 13:48 /dev/raw1394 | 13:02 |
| clamiax | jercos: that's the output | 13:02 |
| Vinceman | moza the extra options are in open volume control but not in the sound recorder | 13:02 |
| robinpahwa | jercos: yes ... when i use :syn on | 13:02 |
| nibbler_ | SoundGuyLptop: good, strange how it changed..... | 13:02 |
| pcmagas | hey guys | 13:02 |
| moza | Vinceman, then modify them in the volume control, it may help | 13:03 |
| ikonia | pcmagas: yes ? | 13:03 |
| clamiax | hey pcmagas | 13:03 |
| pcmagas | what yes? | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | alec, more fun confusion at the 'lowest' levels of the OS.. even directories are files. :) | 13:03 |
| Vinceman | I tried, the recording volume is still very low | 13:03 |
| moza | (i'm definitely not an expert in sound | 13:03 |
| ikonia | pcmagas sorry, for some reason you got highlighted as if you where talking to me, my mistake, sorry | 13:03 |
| martintux1 | anyone know how to completely reinstall mysql? | 13:03 |
| pcmagas | nm | 13:03 |
| martintux1 | mysql server is totally screwed up | 13:03 |
| ikonia | martintux1: use the --reinstall package | 13:03 |
| ikonia | martintux1: --reinstall option sorry | 13:04 |
| ikonia | martintux1: define screwed | 13:04 |
| martintux1 | but the sock and everything is missing, i have no idea | 13:04 |
| Mallen | ok, ive always wondered this, but do you have to have an anti-virus program (ie. kapersky, Trend) with linux? | 13:04 |
| robinpahwa | jercos: you there ? | 13:04 |
| slacker_nl | robinpahwa: http://pb.opperschaap.net/58 | 13:04 |
| martintux1 | will it help too? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | martintux1: nope | 13:04 |
| jercos | robinpahwa: yeah, add syntax on to ~/.vimrc? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | martintux1: still waiting for you to explain teh problem | 13:04 |
| slacker_nl | robinpahwa: put that in your vimrc, and you can enable syntax with the press of a button | 13:04 |

| Mallen | jako, windows viruses? on my ubuntu box? | 13:05 |
| Ean | Hi all! And Meryr Christmas! | 13:05 |
| robinpahwa | jercos: i m unable to see a .vimrc file in my home directory | 13:05 |
| ardchoille | robinpahwa: you have to create that file | 13:06 |
| jacko | Mallen: that would be, if you run a mailserver and wanna scan for windows viruses through your mail server to protect your userbase | 13:06 |
| clamiax | jercos: maybe do i have to enable something into the camera? I can't see it from my laptop. | 13:06 |
| jercos | robinpahwa: then echo 'syntax on' > ~/.vimrc :-) | 13:06 |
| alec | dr_willis: actually, while were at it, how do i connect to a network (aka, the windows network at my apartment) in ubuntu. i can see the other connected computers but i cant access any files | 13:06 |
| ardchoille | robinpahwa: I created mine from /usr/share/vim/vimrc | 13:06 |
| slacker_nl | robinpahwa: http://pb.opperschaap.net/59 | 13:06 |

| Mallen | jako: but as far as a personal computer, spyware and virus off the internet dont infect linux? | 13:07 |

| clamiax | jercos: THX a lot for your help and time! | 13:07 |
| ikonia | martintux1 normally means mysql isn't running | 13:07 |
| jacko | Mallen: stop being paranoid | 13:07 |
| jacko | Mallen: it's ok to except that linux is pretty safe | 13:07 |
| Mallen | jako: lol ok | 13:08 |
| Mallen | ty | 13:08 |
| slacker_nl | Mallen: it can happen, but it is not very likely | 13:08 |
| davenchris | Good morning | 13:08 |
| clamiax | hey | 13:08 |
| jacko | Mallen: you'd have to be part of the problem for something like that to happen | 13:08 |
| slacker_nl | Mallen: and if it happens, it usually contained to tha user running the virus, not the whole system | 13:08 |
| Mallen | ah, ok | 13:08 |
| davenchris | First timer | 13:08 |
| robinpahwa | Thank you all .. i m trying to make my own .vimrc file | 13:08 |
| allsystemsarego | Hi. Question. Renaming xorg.conf to something else and rebooting will recreate that file from scratch? | 13:08 |
| Mallen | gotcha thanks guys | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | alec, depends.. :) the 'new' way is use the gnome file manager and browse the network/acces the shares.. the command line way is to mount the samba shares with smbmount or similer commands. see the pacakge 'samba-doc' and the books in it.. for all the info you would EVER want on samba. :) | 13:08 |
| jercos | clamiax: sure thing. your ls -l indicated that raw1394 was actually owned by "disk" not "video", does it work after sudo chgrp video /dev/raw1394? | 13:08 |
| slacker_nl | allsystemsarego: noooo | 13:08 |
| ikonia | allsystemsarego: should do | 13:08 |
| ikonia | slacker_nl: ? I thought it created a stock one on restart ? | 13:09 |
| martintux1 | ikonia, i think mysql is already started... | 13:09 |
| slacker_nl | ikonia: no | 13:09 |
| ikonia | martintux1 you need to check | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | alec, also the gnome/file manager/browse method - is VERY flakey for me.. often i have to type in the full path to the machine/sharename for it to pop up the username/password dialog to allow me to access the share | 13:09 |
| martintux1 | how? | 13:09 |
| jacko | Mallen: for instance, you don;t wanna run sshd on port 22 without RSA authentication | 13:09 |
| slacker_nl | ikonia: you need to run dpkg-reconfigure x11-package for that | 13:09 |
| ikonia | martintux1 ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep myqsl | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | allsystemsarego, no need to reboot,.,. just restart the X server.. its worked for me befor. | 13:09 |
| ikonia | slacker_nl interesting | 13:09 |
| jacko | Mallen: that is where people make mistakes, but as stated, you'd have to be part of the problem | 13:10 |

| === Analysto is now known as XIII | ||
| jercos | Ean: hmmm, it's changed a bit since hardy. my solution would be to turn off static application switcher and use application switcher instead, as it has an option to turn off icons. | 13:17 |
| Ean | asdffdsa, I guess you could add that line in sessions. | 13:17 |

| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, you have a good bit of reading to do before attempting to edit your grub | 13:20 |
| clamiax | jercos: though i'm not able to make it work anyway. | 13:20 |
| Pici | asdffdsa: Thats not helpful, this is a support channel. | 13:20 |
| RFXCasey | But I have a specific question | 13:20 |
| Ean | jercos, The strange thing is that the mini-thumbs are gone when you turn off the visual effects... :P | 13:20 |
| asdffdsa | Pici, no sense in typing what's already written in a 20 page tutorial | 13:20 |
| martintux1 | ok, i'm done with this thing | 13:21 |
| asdffdsa | If user *knows* they gotta edit grub, they need to read the whole thing, not have you type it line by line | 13:21 |
| asdffdsa | Any idea about my madwifi issue? | 13:21 |
| martintux1 | any idea how to completely reinstall mysql? | 13:21 |
| RFXCasey | I have read it all | 13:21 |
| ikonia | martintux1: why do you want to re-install | 13:21 |
| ikonia | martintux1: find the problem | 13:21 |
| RFXCasey | It's not just a Grub issue | 13:21 |
| ikonia | martintux1: re-install rarley fixes the problem | 13:21 |
| martintux1 | ikonia, you're right | 13:22 |
| jercos | Ean: well, | 13:22 |
| Pici | RFXCasey: Explain the problem and someone may be able to help you. | 13:22 |
| martintux1 | but i can't really find the problem | 13:22 |
| robinpahwa | asdffdsa: Thanx but i was just giving a try here :) someone might have read one of those syntax i need to customize my vim | 13:22 |
| ikonia | martintux1: what's int he lgos ? | 13:22 |
| ikonia | martintux1: what's in the logs sorry | 13:22 |
| jercos | Ean: I believe selecting none actually switches over to metacity, not compiz. | 13:22 |
| Pici | robinpahwa: 1) make sure you've installed the vim-full package 2) #vim may be able to help you out further | 13:22 |
| RFXCasey | I need to know how to identify my partition and translate the sda1 type stuff to the HD0,0 stuff | 13:23 |
| asdffdsa | robinpahwa, there might be some addon u could use... but I've tried the *numerous* pre-made programming editors and they're *nice*... no sense in seraching so hard to modify vim | 13:23 |
| Ean | jercos, Oh, didn't think of that at all. :P | 13:23 |
| martintux1 | ikonia, | 13:23 |
| martintux1 | http://pastebin.com/m59a3eeb0 | 13:23 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, There's a tutorial on those... the numbers are called major/minor... I had to learn them about 3 weeks ago for an install... I'll find you a guide... brb | 13:23 |
| robinpahwa | Pici: I am also looking in #vim there i find :h ft-c-omni | 13:23 |
| alec | dr_willis: do you know if mount name is going to be the name of the computer, for example HTPC is the name? | 13:23 |
| robinpahwa | asdffdsa: I find this :h ft-c-omni | 13:24 |
| RFXCasey | I have several partitions and I am trying to identify the one with the windows boot files | 13:24 |
| ikonia | martintux1: put the output of "ps -ef | grep mysql" in a pastebin please | 13:24 |
| RFXCasey | when I installed windows it told me I had to make a partition on disk 1 for the windows boot files but the rest of windows is on disk 2 | 13:24 |
| jercos | Ean: you could try the ring switcher, since it doesn't use thumbnails as such... | 13:25 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, for windows to boot it has to be installed first, then linux afterwards | 13:25 |
| termos | hi. i'm running a different WM than gnome but i want gnome-setting-manager to run when i start so i get fonts set correctly. it doesn't seem to work to edit .xinitrc | 13:25 |
| Ean | jercos, Just one problem -> My ring-switcher does actually use thumbnails... >.< | 13:25 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, Windows is picky and demands it be the first partition | 13:25 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, while linux could care less which partition it's on | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | alec, monting basics.. the mount POINT is a directory - that can be ANY name you want | 13:26 |
| martintux1 | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m2db88375 | 13:26 |
| ikonia | martintux1 it's already running | 13:26 |
| ikonia | martintux1: thats good | 13:26 |
| jercos | Ean: :-\ well, I mean, it scales the window directly instead of generating a static thumbnail image... but yeah, the best idea is probably just to use metacity when playing WoW... | 13:27 |
| ikonia | martintux1: so ls -la martintux1 | 13:27 |
| hpd | hello people | 13:27 |
| RFXCasey | Ok the whole story is I had Ubuntu on the first disk and I installed Windows on the second disk, I then resetup Grub and now I need Grub to tell windows to start | 13:27 |
| RFXCasey | It is possible to install Windows after Ubuntu | 13:27 |
| Arodon | I'm having DNS issues: for certain hosts (incl. *.ubuntu.com) wget always fails to resolve the hostname, but ping and dig still work, other hosts (google, yahoo, etc) work fine. What could cause this? | 13:27 |
| Ean | jercos, Aye, maybe. But thanks for the help anyway then. :) And Merry Christmas! | 13:28 |
| hpd | Merry C | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | RFXCasey, theres a example entry in the menu.lst to boot windows off the first hd.. you may be able to set it to boot the 2nd.. use the bios features to boot the 2nd hd and bypass grub.. or install grub to the windows hd.. and swap them out.. so windows becomes the first hd.. | 13:28 |
| ikonia | Arodon: check /etc/nsswitch.conf | 13:28 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, sure, you can install, but good luck getting it to boot | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | RFXCasey, Its very possible.. it alsy pays to understand how machines boot and grub works.. not too hard. if you learn grub :) | 13:28 |
| asdffdsa | just as linux knows if the hd is primary or secondary, master or slave | 13:28 |
| asdffdsa | so does windows | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | The use of the UUID information in the ubuntu grub/fstab - makes ubuntu more smarter about when hds move around | 13:29 |
| asdffdsa | had many windows installs not boot from anything but primary master | 13:29 |
| RFXCasey | I think all I have to do at this point is tell Grub the correct partition containing the windows boot.ini | 13:29 |
| Acedip | how can i generate a cpu temerature log file with temperature entries in time lapes.. ?? | 13:29 |
| Arodon | ikonia: I messed with stuff in that file earlier based on some google hits, but it qdidn't seem to make any difference. fwiw nslookup handles the *.ubuntu.com hosts just fine also | 13:29 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, you don't need the root=hd(x,x) thing in the grub for windows, only for linux | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Arodon can you poaste it | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Arodon: nslookup is FORCED to use dns | 13:30 |

| martintux1 | np, 1 sec | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | meermanr, try X -version or X --version perhaps | 13:32 |

| meermanr | dr_willis: Yes, it is. But it still seems way out from all other references | 13:33 |
| asdffdsa | RFXCasey, Read tutorials on GRUB : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | termos, you mean when you use the 'startx' command? or login via gdm? | 13:33 |
| ikonia | Arodon try changing hosts to just "dns" see what it does | 13:33 |
| termos | dr_willis: login via gdm | 13:33 |
| meermanr | 1.5.2, is that new? I ask because the nVidia readme refers to 6.9.0 and newer, so it seems like a different numbering scheme entirely.. | 13:33 |
| martintux1 | ikonia, ls: cannot access /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock: No such file or directory | 13:33 |
| ikonia | martintux1 kerrking we have a winner | 13:34 |
| dr_willis | termos, because gdm dosent use .xinitrc i think there may be a special gdm session that uses .xinitrc or .Xsession or was it .xsession if you want a custome X session... | 13:34 |
| martintux1 | eh? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | martintux1: first "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" - then "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" see if it re-creates that file | 13:34 |
| Arodon | ikonia: same thing. ping works, but wget fails to resolve archive.ubuntu.com | 13:34 |
| dr_willis | termos, if you select gnome or other desktiop in gdm.. .xinitrc is ignored. :) it uses the gnome.desktop data to pick what to run | 13:35 |
| martintux1 | damn, same thing.... start fail | 13:35 |
| asdffdsa | Brand new laptop, wiped XP, installed Ubuntu 8.10 32bit Desktop... has a strange atheros chipset that the pre-installed madwifi driver does not support... disabled non-working driver... retrieved "special"/working driver package from madwifi, make install'd pkg.. modprobe ath_pci... and it worked... but every time I reboot I have to type "modprobe ath_pci" to get it to function... | 13:35 |
| asdffdsa | The "support for atheros chipset wifi cards" in ubuntu's "hardware drivers" program states the built-in driver is disabled (i have rebooted several times)... how can I get the special madwifi working automatically? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | martintux1 is the start fail message the same? | 13:35 |
| RFXCasey | ok I have a partition just for the windows boot files on the first HD and the rest on windows is on the 2nd. Windows had me do this during install cause it detected Ubuntu was already installed. | 13:35 |

| ikonia | martintux1 check the logs - is it the same | 13:36 |
| asdffdsa | nibbler_ : put what? how? | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | termos, each gdm session entry has its own matching whatever.desktop file that defines what gets ran | 13:36 |
| nibbler_ | asdffdsa: echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules | 13:36 |
| asdffdsa | nibbler_ : ty, merry xmas :) | 13:37 |
| Arodon | ikonia: yes. ping seems to be working fine for everything | 13:37 |
| martintux1 | ikonia, it's the same | 13:37 |

| ehama | asdffdsa, I tried. but didn't help. Thats when I got configuration issues and was set back to low resolution. | 13:47 |
| OchenZloy | any help to me ? or tell me, where shell i ask about router configuration ? | 13:47 |
| keystr0k | I'm looking for a way to burn a .img dvd backup. any suggestions? | 13:47 |
| bakarat_ | i have webdav working in nautilus and it works great....unless the folder name has a space in it, how can i open a directory that has a space in its name? | 13:48 |
| nibbler_ | Andy_: if this hosts any files needed by grub, maybe even only menu.list it might render your system useless if you dont know how to fix it | 13:48 |
| shahrooz | if i add a source url to source.list , i can use directly of the packages are in there ? | 13:48 |
| asdffdsa | ehama : I hear ya... I've got one laptop here with Radeon Xpress that freezes at random (one I'm using now) and is currently unresolved, using ATi driver w/fusion enabled | 13:48 |
| Andy_ | nibble_, what did the first part of yoru sentence mean? | 13:48 |
| ikonia | Arodon: can you run a test with me please | 13:48 |
| shahrooz | hello ? | 13:49 |
| Andy_ | nibbler_, XP and xubuntu are completely in different drive and i guess no way connected.. | 13:49 |
| Henti | hello | 13:49 |
| ehama | asdffdsa, my card is a bit older. so I think I can't use binary drivers. I read the suggestion of using mesa drivers but don't know if it will help. | 13:49 |
| nibbler_ | Andy_: if you are right about no connection, then its save to delete it. | 13:49 |
| shahrooz | somy body help please ! | 13:49 |
| Arodon | ikonia: yea sure | 13:49 |

| Andy_ | nibbler_, if ..it does show the select OS option..I AM DOOMED right? no way to ensure that it wont show up? | 13:51 |
| Arodon | ikonia: it prints out the "Server" and "Address" lines with the dns server we specified, then it gives the "Non-authoritative answer" with an address if 72.5.124.61 | 13:51 |
| shahrooz | ubottu: it's really a robot ! any body know my answer ? | 13:51 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:51 |
| ikonia | Arodon: ok, so your router is acting as a dns forwarder and working correctly, needed to establish that | 13:51 |

| OchenZloy | I have DI-524 D-Link router, and only my friend can't connect to me... all other people, can... and i am already the 3rd day searching for the solution, still can't find. so here i am to ask you about this... (if i set up the connection from the internet to computer [without the router], then he can.., but i can't without it.. really) | 13:59 |
| AshTray- | OchenZloy connect to you wireless or wired ? | 14:00 |
| keystr0k | allsystemsarego, I definitely don't have a 'write to disc' option for that file. | 14:00 |
| OchenZloy | wired | 14:00 |
| nibbler_ | Kartagis: read about pam and /etc/pam.d | 14:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OchenZloy Google port forwarding for your router | 14:00 |
| allsystemsarego | keystr0k, try installing xfburn | 14:00 |
| OchenZloy | Jack_Sparrow.... all people can connect to me | 14:00 |
| OchenZloy | only 1 person cannot | 14:00 |
| AshTray- | OchenZloy does he selected dhcp on his box ? | 14:00 |
| Arodon | ikonia: quite. I spent a while in the wiki looking for clues, but found nothing to explain the different behavior between programs (*.ubuntu.com works fine in firefox also) I temporarily added an address for archive.ubuntu.com in /etc/hosts to carry out updates | 14:00 |
| fde | keystr0k: like I said, just use Brasero or K3B :/ | 14:01 |
| OchenZloy | look, for example i have web server | 14:01 |

| Vinceman | moza, what's are the differences between lossy and lossless sound recording? | 14:02 |
| AshTray- | Did you forwared apache corectly ? | 14:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OchenZloy if he can without your router in place and he cant withit in place. you only have one place to look | 14:02 |
| fde | Vinceman: Exactly as it sounds... lossy loses quality every time you copy it, lossless doesn't. | 14:02 |
| EADG | AshTray-: I get niether. Your doing it wrong. type man telnet | 14:02 |
| keystr0k | fde, .img wasn't recognized as a valid image file type in Brasero... I chose the file anyway. We'll see what happens. | 14:02 |

| Gr33n3gg | Whoops, wrong window. | 14:04 |
| debaser | hi | 14:04 |
| Vinceman | fde what's the advantage of lossy then? | 14:04 |
| fde | Vinceman: lower file sizes | 14:04 |
| Vinceman | much lower? | 14:04 |
| epifanio | from here : http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO#Boot_Ubuntu_from_external_USB_drive_on_MacBook it explain a generic procedure (unluky there arne't detailed information) | 14:05 |

| debaser | is there a way to create a ubuntu live cd with the programs one chooses? Something just like the ubuntu live cd (which can be installed) but only with the things you choose... | 14:05 |
| fde | termos: I can't think of the tools name I'm thinking of... ugh... sorry | 14:05 |
| OchenZloy | all ports are forwarding correctly | 14:05 |
| Vinceman | could it be that you here interference when you record lossy? | 14:05 |
| fde | Vinceman: generally, yes | 14:05 |
| mwas | Vinceman: lowering the size some times loses information | 14:05 |
| Guest23981 | How can I boot with only console from an Ubuntu LiveCD? | 14:06 |
| fde | Vinceman: No, it wouldn't result in interference, it would just be lower quality | 14:06 |

| ardchoille | C0p3rn1c: I have nvidia 6200 graphics card and installing the 93 driver fixed all issues | 14:09 |
| fde | Vinceman: file extensions do not matter on linux... but it likely designates different formats... 'file whatever' to see what the system thinks | 14:09 |
| Gr33n3gg | Guest23981: Use Google. | 14:09 |
| Vinceman | I have recorded a cool osng | 14:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | fde Understood | 14:11 |

| tiyowan | EADG: Hmm...difficult problem this. | 14:25 |
| EADG | tiyowan: Aye. it is. | 14:26 |
| Zzeiss | Am3ndment: OK, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. See what driver you've got. My bet is you have the VESA driver loaded, not "intel". | 14:26 |
| tiyowan | EADG: Just out of curiosity. Why do you want it that way? As in what data do you want to view? | 14:26 |
| Zzeiss | Am3ndment: The older Ubuntus let you pick the driver; 8.10 does not seem to. What you want is probably the "intel" driver. That's what I used to play Portal. :) | 14:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RoyK Looks like some serious editing has gone on in there. If you compile something yourself and add sources and install things it can often trash your dependencies... Which is what it seems to have done with your system | 14:27 |
| Zzeiss | Am3ndment: But I did note that if I didn't load the intel driver, I got nowhere. | 14:28 |

| kdogg | Ok guys , i back with a new version of an old problem :) Last night I install ubuntu Intrepid on an hp a1010n, after rebooting and logging in, the screen went blank and the mouse was still there and moving but no other signs of life. (NumLock), SO today I tried to put the livecd in, (the one I used before to install), and it did the same thing. Windows seems to work fine though.. (rarely the case) | 14:34 |
| debaser | is there a way to create a ubuntu live cd with the programs one chooses? Something just like the ubuntu live cd (which can be installed) but only with the things you choose... | 14:34 |
| Zzeiss | Am3ndment: Nope, you have the "intel" driver loaded. (see line 127 of your pastebin). So... that's not it. Hmmm. | 14:35 |
| joejc | zzeiss: 0.0, whats that mean? | 14:35 |
| joaopinto | !remaster | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 14:35 |
| Jeruvy | debaser: see the alternate cd | 14:35 |
| kdogg | debaser, yes reconstructor but it is young | 14:35 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | there's a problem here. I type "sudo ./scanmodem" in my terminal (in Ubuntu 8.10) and it asks for a password but I CANNOT WRITE ANY PASSWORDS. | 14:35 |
| Zzeiss | Am3ndment: try glxgears. See what the frame rate is. | 14:35 |
| RoyK | arimakun: #ubuntu-es | 14:35 |
| kdogg | oh | 14:35 |
| Vinceman | lossy vs. lossles is a 1:10 factor difference in file size!!! | 14:35 |
| debaser | kdogg: thx | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RoyK upgrading is when those things you added from outside supported repos will cause issues.. We dont have help for that situation | 14:35 |
| RoyK | Mageiriki-me-bas: 8.04 - any ideas how to fix it? I really on't want to reinstall from scratch | 14:35 |
| Pici | Mageiriki-me-bas: Why can't you write the password? | 14:35 |
| Zzeiss | Am3ndment, joejc: you have to let "glxgears: run for a while. Ten or fifteen seconds at least. Then it reports back a frame rate. | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mageiriki-me-bas you type but it does not show.. that is normal | 14:36 |
| RoyK | Jack_Sparrow: what is external repos in those? | 14:36 |
| miik | those assholes at Novell decided to put an EULA on openSUSE, i hope not Ubuntu does same | 14:36 |

| RoyK | Jack_Sparrow: printer??? | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RoyK I read that wrong.. | 14:41 |
| Pici | rutski_: apt-get source packagename where packagename is one of the packages that provides files for that directory. Its mostly ncurses-term | 14:41 |
| RoyK | Jack_Sparrow: afaik no printer is installed | 14:41 |

| epifanio | guys, have you any clue on how to boot my old os (ubuntu-8.10) installed on a external usb drive? googling give me : http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO#Boot_Ubuntu_from_external_USB_drive_on_MacBook . i already have on the internal drive : leopard+refit on the external-drive(the old internal) leopard+ubuntu+refit ... so can i switch to step 5 directly ? | 14:42 |
| Amendment | So, what can i do? | 14:42 |
| guja_nebeska | Fenix|work, I know that. :o) But problem was this: this search u gave me says also this: deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ DIST-wx main, so add that to repo. I change DIST with intrepid, and when I do sudo apt-get update, it says it can't get tar.gz from that http. | 14:42 |
| EADG | Fenix|work: I got mine to make cinninon toast :) | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RoyK looks more like power saving/stepping not sure what al that broken file covers | 14:42 |
| sisif | Jeruvy: i put the firmware to /lib/firmware, then I install compat-wireless. I can see my wifi card in ifconfig an iwconfig, but iwlist scanning don`t get me any AP (and i have one just at my feet). | 14:42 |
| Zzeiss | joejc: hmmm... yeah. That would happen if you don't have a hw graphics card. For some (annoying and not justified IMHO opinion) it seems that compiz is not willing to use software rendering, and goes _outside_ of the standard OpenGL libraries to do it's magic. | 14:42 |
| papa_ | Fenix|work: is the graphic card... i can't change the resolution and refresh rate... | 14:43 |
| Jeruvy | epifanio: I know there were bugs logged when 8.10 was released but I do not know there status. Try searching on launchpad.net | 14:43 |
| joejc | hw? | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix > RoyK | 14:43 |
| ubottu | RoyK, please see my private message | 14:43 |
| Zzeiss | joejc: yes, I've asked the compiz people to fix this, for those of us who do not have a supported graphics card. Like me. :( | 14:43 |
| Fenix|work | guja_nebeska, I believe in *BIG RED* letters on that page it says to <quote>Replace the "DIST" text with whatever is appropriate for your system. (See the table below for a list of supported distributions and architectures.)</quote> | 14:43 |
| RoyK | Jack_Sparrow: I've tried that | 14:43 |
| joejc | Zzeiss: it worked in hardy | 14:44 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | I have this shell executable script which is /home/user/scanModem.2008110606 and i want to install this thing. What should i do? | 14:44 |
| RoyK | Jack_Sparrow: never mind - I found a workaround. I really don't want to reinstall this | 14:44 |

| captainm | joejc: you'll need swap to suspend, and you'll run into problems if you run out of ram | 14:59 |
| fde | xnv: In Gnome, it should tell you about events from you calendar automatically via Evolution Alarm Clock... In KDE, there is also KOrganizer that will do something similar | 14:59 |

| Zzeiss | Melanchol: beyond installing it manually, and adding a line like Driver "intel" into the xorg.conf file device section, no. | 15:00 |
| Melanchol | Ok, thanks :) | 15:00 |
| captainm | joejc: but I don't have use swap with my eeepc and it works fine | 15:00 |
| rutski_ | `man terminfo` uses a lot of escape sequences with the character '[', such as '\E[H\E[2J', I know the '\E' are ESC keys, but what are '[H' and '[2J'? | 15:01 |
| xnv | fde: Is the Alarm Clock independent of the e-mail client? I don't want to use that e-mail client. | 15:01 |
| joejc | captanm: would swap make my computer faster if i already have 2gb of ram? | 15:01 |
| fde | xnv: no its not | 15:02 |
| xnv | fde: Then it doesn't quite fit my needs. | 15:02 |
| bullgard4 | There is a file /etc/mailcap. What does 'cap' stand for in it? | 15:02 |
| fde | xnv: I think something like tasque has notifications of events though, perhaps try that? | 15:02 |
| captainm | joejc: no, it wont make your computer faster, if you have the diskspace I'd use a swap partition. | 15:03 |

| Steve132 | marsje: yes? | 15:53 |
| bysken | lol | 15:53 |
| Steve132 | did you try it and it fails? | 15:53 |
| joaopinto | marsje, yes, but the installer does not run from "Vista," it runs from the live cd :P | 15:53 |
| hyougin | k ill try that.. hope it works ;/ | 15:54 |

| marsje | Steve132: I don't want her to wipe out all of her stuff | 15:54 |
| marsje | joaopinto: I understand that :) | 15:55 |
| n8tuser | marsje -> may i suggest when you boot in the livecd, do a two step process, resize ntfs first, then reboot again to make sure vista is still okay, then next boot to livecd, you can install | 15:55 |
| joaopinto | marsje, if it's a newbie, do not forget to recommend to backup the data | 15:55 |

| chazco | Also, anyone know how to enable lirc for a nova-t usb device? /dev/input/event* doesnt seem to work in 8.10 | 15:56 |
| marsje | n8tuser: so it's technically possible to have the installer shrink a partition? | 15:56 |
| joaopinto | marsje, and make sure he/she does not select "use the entire disk" | 15:56 |
| rehpmag | sudo apt-get update | 15:56 |
| rehpmag | whoops | 15:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marsje No matter what os she has, she needs a backu of anything she cant afford to lose. If you are looking for someone to guarantee that shrinking a partition will work.. It wont happen. | 15:56 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. anyone have vlc installed? If so RUn it and see if the icon for the program has a little Xmas hat for you also? :) | 15:56 |
| rehpmag | lo siento :P | 15:56 |
| n8tuser | marsje -> it is not the installer, you have to run gparted first to resize it, and then reboot again..just to be safe | 15:56 |
| joaopinto | marsje, yes, the installer allows to shink an ntfs part | 15:56 |
| bazhang | dr_willis, yep | 15:56 |
| dr_willis | bazhang, :) easter eggs.. heh heh | 15:56 |
| joaopinto | hum, doesn't the installer allow to resize ? | 15:56 |
| erz3364 | marsje: yes, but the ntfs filesystem has to be "clean" | 15:56 |
| marsje | Jack_Sparrow: got it... | 15:57 |
| n8tuser | joaopinto -> its big risk, i would not do it again | 15:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marsje At the very least, defrag the windows partition.. twice | 15:57 |
| marsje | Jack_Sparrow: ok, we're going to try then | 15:57 |
| hahahhah | hello | 15:58 |
| Hugh | are the uk repositories down, or is it just my server? | 15:58 |
| hahahhah | what's up baby | 15:58 |
| joaopinto | n8tuser, backing up the data is always recommended, using the installer resizing is just as safer as using gparted, they use the same library to perform such operations... | 15:58 |
| n8tuser | joaopinto -> i learned to do things a step at a time when resizing and reformatting ntfs stuff, i've lost some beforehand | 15:58 |

| tiyowan | minus18_pundit: paste.ubuntu.com | 17:07 |
| Halitech | CallumEEEPC, don't mean to sound rude but if you don't know how to change an OS then maybe you should learn how to use Linpus that is installed so if you need assistance you can call the support line | 17:08 |

| Ward1983 | ALfY-, what was the problem? i didnt read it i just came in | 17:36 |
| tiyowan | ALfY-: Because the very fact that you can't ping your router is disturbing in itself. It suggests a problem with your nic or the cable. | 17:36 |
| ALfY- | tiyowan: The NIC shares an IRQ with the Video card, and sometimes USB controller, could that be it ? | 17:36 |
| KarlsBerg | tiyowan, deleting .mozilla/firefox manual run fine !! | 17:36 |

| tiyowan | ALfY-: I'd try to resolve that IRQ conflict, mate. NICs need their own channels. | 17:37 |
| manzur | gnome-main-menu search box should work as a filter, is this possible? | 17:37 |

| sheep | Ward1983: the same way things are always compiled | 17:38 |

| tiyowan | ALfY-: Your interface is up. Your cable's fine. Card's working. Router's ok. But you can't ping your router. This is because the packets aren't flowing. IRQ conflict probably. But I've never seen the symptoms of a NIC with conflicting IRQs before. | 17:39 |

| Ward1983 | ALfY-, you actually get offers? | 17:41 |
| Lee_Lbuczko | hello | 17:41 |
| fungo | there's a way to tell the kernel made by make-kpkg to use the old one modules? | 17:41 |
| tiyowan | ALfY-: What NIC do you have btw? | 17:42 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, if he gets offers then packets obviously do flow lol | 17:43 |

| bluntz | Is grabdisplay broken in xawtv 3.95 ?? | 17:43 |
| ALfY- | Ward1983: Yes, I've had two occasions where it even DISPLAYS the offers in the 'dhclient' output. Unfortunately, the NIC didnt take the offered IP for some reason. | 17:43 |
| ALfY- | tiyowan: I have a RealTek card, RTL-8169 | 17:43 |
| Ward1983 | ALfY-, probably the IRQ conflict, sorry dunno how to resolve that | 17:44 |
| tiyowan | Ward1983: Could you explain to me then why he can't ping his router? Perhaps I might be missing something. | 17:44 |

| mib_6hmx0p | is it possible for me to store my music on an external drive and to play it on my computer without any problems?(using banshee) can banshee play music downloaded from itunes? | 17:45 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, DHCP works like this: offer - discover - request - acknowledge, so if he gets an offer, the discover reacher his gateway, and the offer also reached back | 17:45 |
| tiyowan | ALfY-: Bingo. I'm getting kernel bug reports on that card. | 17:45 |
| zelda | How do I remove a file thats in etc/X11? sudo remove? | 17:45 |
| Ward1983 | reacher == reached | 17:45 |
| tiyowan | Ward1983: I'm not referring to DHCP. I'm talking about ping. | 17:45 |
| sheep | zelda: sudo rm, but be very careful | 17:45 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, now you stated packets were not flowing | 17:45 |

| tiyowan | ALfY-: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256331 <- According to this, the kernel doesn't support the Realtek chip on your NIC. | 17:47 |

| Ward1983 | just using another PCI slot seems to fix it | 17:49 |
| ALfY- | Ward1983: Oh man, I have tried EVERY SINGLE ONE of those GRUB switches, to no avail :) | 17:49 |
| ALfY- | Ward1983: NIC is onboard (Built-in to motherboard) | 17:49 |
| tiyowan | ALfY-: I strongly suspect it's a kernel issue. Enable the onboard NIC and use that. Or try Ward1983's idea of putting the NIC in another slot. My money's on the kernel issue, though. | 17:49 |
| Ward1983 | ALfY-, the link i gave states the best way to change IRQs is just use another PCI slot | 17:50 |

| Accidus | I'll ask again: I have a problem with hibernate: When I tell my laptop to hibernate, it seems to be doing everything alright. Then, when I turn it on again, it starts waking up from hibernation, I get a mouse pointer, but then the machine freezes. The pointer won't move. Hibernation used to work when I first installed Ubuntu, but now it no longer works. I should have enough swap space (I have 3GB ram and my swap is 6GB) | 17:55 |
| tiyowan | Ward1983: Perhaps. But he'd better know what he's doing. | 17:55 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, nice there's a solution there aswell | 17:55 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, its needed to compile your own kernel lol | 17:55 |
| tiyowan | Ward1983: Because it's a kernel issue as well. And I'm not touching those with a six-foot pole. | 17:55 |

| Ward1983 | tiyowan, and then add it to grub menu.lst | 17:56 |
| tomsaso | so any1 can help me with youtube issue ? | 17:57 |

| The_Joe_ | Actually forget that - I got it | 18:01 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, well but the kernel needed to be patched aswell in this case so that would mean he would need to build his own kernel anyway | 18:01 |
| Ward1983 | tiyowan, but when theres no kernel issue its enough ti get the headers and you can compile drivers it states :) | 18:01 |
| ailean | hi. my pc freezes at random intervals. it then responds to nothing, forcing me to restart. can anyone shed any light on the problem? This happens on both Ubuntu and Windows, so I think it is a hardware problem. Would it be the graphics card? | 18:01 |

| energY | Does Ubuntu support MTP devices? | 18:30 |
| J-_ | Does the default Ubuntu installation use AIGLX or GLX? | 18:30 |
| zelda | *pats himself on the back for installing his new GeForce 8500GT | 18:30 |
| ailean_ | Halitech, I froze so had to restart. While doing so I took the opportunity of reading temperatures from BIOS. System temp was 50 deg C and CPU temp was 57 deg C. | 18:31 |
| J-_ | for compiz-fusion that is | 18:31 |
| macd | energY, Yes, but only legacy | 18:31 |
| RizR | got a question about grub background. How do I get pretty and crisp theme (like the one suse uses)? Theme changes doesnt really bring out the required level of detauls. | 18:31 |
| RizR | details* | 18:31 |
| Halitech | ailean_, what type of system do you have? ie INtel or amd? | 18:31 |
| macd | energY, so media devices like the sandisk sansa, work. | 18:31 |
| ailean_ | This one's an intel | 18:31 |
| energY | macd: Legacy? | 18:32 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | macd, my Creative ZEN works fine with Ubuntu, and thats relatively new | 18:32 |
| energY | A Creative Zen, will it work? | 18:32 |
| macd | energY, the latest zune doesnt work for instace. | 18:32 |
| energY | GodfatherofEire1: What progs? | 18:32 |
| Halitech | ailean_, 57 seems pretty high to me, even at heavy load for me I never get above 58C, I have a P4 1.8ghz | 18:32 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Rhythmbox does it fine, but you have to enable MTP support under plugins | 18:32 |
| rjune__ | macd: does the sansa work with mtp? or does it work as a removalbe drive? | 18:33 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | And you have to install libmtp or something from synaptic, but dont quote me on the exact filename, but searching mtp should do it | 18:33 |
| ailean_ | Halitech, this is a 3.4 GHz dual core. perhaps that gets hotter? | 18:33 |
| rjune__ | nmind, answered | 18:33 |
| macd | rjune__, as an MTP device thats syncable through rythmbox among others | 18:33 |
| solmakou | tiyowan have you tried the "Compiz Fusion Icon" it allows you to go between Compiz and Metacity with very no side effects that I've foun | 18:34 |
| SiliconViper | I'm trying to find a way to relay keyboard / mouse events to multiple windows in X. A skim over Google results didn't turn up anything that seemed helpful. Has anyone here done something like this, or have insight as to what I should be looking for? | 18:34 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | energY: Rhythmbox does it fine, but you have to enable MTP support under plugins, And you have to install libmtp or something from synaptic, but dont quote me on the exact filename, but searching mtp should do it (sorry for sendin it twice, but most people look for the name highlights) | 18:34 |

| xc1024 | hi guys. anyone could help me with tablet setup? | 18:35 |
| tiyowan | solmakou: That's the workaround I'm currently using to watch videos on this system. :) | 18:35 |
| ailean_ | Halitech, although that may be hot, i wouldn't say it's such a high temperature as to cause CPU problems. what would you think? | 18:35 |
| Serafeim | hallo! | 18:35 |
| Serafeim | enyone using limewire?? | 18:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Thanks, mackd, so energY, the package name (if you havebnt got it already, is libmtp8 | 18:35 |
| tiyowan | ailean_: What CPU are you running and at what temperatures? | 18:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Whenever I try and compile the .so file , I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92334/, and since I get a big wall of startup text on startup, I would prefer to have a normal usplash, which I cant have because Intrepid uses a different version of shared object files for usplash, I just get the text. So I could REALLY use some help with compiling this | 18:36 |
| LordElph | Ubuntu 8.10, amd64, installed for a week for a so, fully up to date, but now when I log into Gnome, screen goes black for a few seconds, then the login screen comes back....I tried the "x recovery" option in the recovery boot option, but no joy. Anyone got any pointers on how I could diagnose/fix? | 18:36 |
| ailean_ | tiyowan, Intel P4 dual core 3.4 GHz at 57 dec C | 18:36 |
| solmakou | max load? | 18:37 |
| xc1024 | could anyone point me with setting up tablet | 18:37 |
| xc1024 | tried wiki | 18:37 |
| energY | GodfatherofEire1: How do I export? I activated the plugin, can se it and the files. But dont see a s sync button... | 18:37 |
| Pici | GodfatherofEire1: just run 'make' in that directory to run the makefile. Make sure that you have build-essential installed first though. | 18:37 |
| Serafeim | how can i download more than 3 torrents the same time with limewire? | 18:37 |
| solmakou | ailean_ is that under max cpu load? | 18:38 |
| tiyowan | ailean_: That temperature is fine. | 18:38 |
| ailean_ | solmakou, no, probably not. | 18:38 |
| solmakou | tiyowan not if it's idle | 18:38 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Pici, it is | 18:38 |
| ailean_ | tiyowan, solmakou as i say guys, i did have a problem with it in the past which was resolved by removing the thick layer of dust around the CPU heatsink. | 18:39 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | And just make? not ./Makefile? | 18:39 |
| energY | GodfatherofEire1: I managed by myself | 18:39 |
| xc1024 | anyone could help with setting up tablet? | 18:39 |
| ardchoille | Serafeim: I don't believe limewire is supported here | 18:39 |
| Pici | GodfatherofEire1: yes. | 18:39 |
| tiyowan | ailean_: solmakou has a good point. Does your temp. exceed 62-64C when you put load on the system? | 18:39 |
| xc1024 | GodFatherofEirel, yes | 18:39 |
| xc1024 | anyone could help with setting up tablet? | 18:40 |
| ailean_ | tiyowan, it probably does, but I can't get a temp sensor to work... | 18:40 |
| tiyowan | ailean_: And if you were experiencing overheating problems in the past, then "removing the thick layer of dust around the CPU heatsink" is only a temporary solution. Please install an extra fan. | 18:41 |
| Halitech | ailean_, depends on the core, seems some are loaded at 51C | 18:41 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | Pici, also, is there anyway to de-compile, then re-compile an .so for a usplash, cause I have a few I'd like to test, but they're the wrong version, and I dont have the source for them | 18:45 |

| Xisdibik | Hey everyone, I was installing Ubuntu on my samsung NC10 netbook, and the install went flawlessly, but the guide says the wireless needs some drivers from linux-backports-modules-intrepid and when i do the command the guide says to get them, it says that it cannot find them. | 18:47 |
| tiyowan | ailean_: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/61684-10-prescott-temperatures | 18:47 |
| sin360 | I could see them with the windows drivers but it doesn't work to well so I removed them | 18:47 |
| Pici | Xisdibik: What command? | 18:47 |
| Pici | !ot | tiyowan ailean_ (try ##hardware) | 18:47 |

| qlex | tvtime doesn't see it; it says that there's no signal and it can't open /dev/video0 | 18:58 |
| bastid_raZor | LeeQ; create a place to mount it. sudo mkdir /media/drive (or something to that effect) then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/drive | 18:58 |
| qlex | lspci returns: | 18:58 |

| noonubuntu | Hi all | 19:00 |
| ocRob | Hello! | 19:00 |
| carpii | Kavan, it was built 24th November so it must have been after that | 19:00 |
| jtaji | Kavan: changelog says Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:19:02 +0100 http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.24-22.45/changelog | 19:00 |
| Pici | qlex: Have you looked here: http://www.linuxtv.org/ ? They have extensive information | 19:00 |
| Halitech | ailean_, sorry about that, had company drop in .... do you know what core you have? ie prescott, northwood, etc? | 19:00 |
| noonubuntu | i have a canon mf5550 and was wondering if it will work with ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| Kavan | carpii, jtaji: thank you for the answer....what command line obtained that information for future reference? | 19:01 |
| Kavan | I definitely appreciate | 19:01 |
| tiyowan | Halitech: Blokes in ##hardware are helping him out. His case temp's at 50C. Too hot. | 19:01 |
| ailean_ | Halitech, tiyowan tells me it's a prescott. I don't know :) | 19:01 |
| carpii | i just did cat /proc/version | 19:01 |
| qlex | any ideas?? | 19:01 |
| jtaji | Kavan: I searched for 'linux-image' on packages.ubuntu.com | 19:01 |
| jim_p | are atom cpus supported by linux? | 19:01 |
| qlex | sorry, thanks Pici | 19:01 |
| qlex | let me see... | 19:01 |
| Halitech | tiyowan, I was thinking that as well | 19:01 |
| Halitech | ailean_, okay, I'll let the guys in hardware help you out | 19:02 |
| ailean_ | cheers Halitech | 19:02 |
| jtaji | jim_p: yeah I guess those linux netbooks are using them | 19:02 |
| jemark | anyone using a x3100 + compiz and has flickering screen in some programs? | 19:03 |
| Pici | Kavan: You can use https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux in the future too. | 19:03 |
| afief | jim_p: yes, my friend is running ubuntu on one | 19:03 |
| jim_p | jtaji, true, but do they need a custom compiled jernel? | 19:03 |
| jim_p | *kernel | 19:03 |
| Cadman21 | is there a program that will rip dvds to my computer? | 19:03 |
| saturnDriver | can anyone help me play music and have sound in ET at the same time? | 19:03 |
| Xisdibik | Pici i still cant get ubuntu to connect to the wireless | 19:03 |
| tiyowan | jemark: x1400 here. Same problem. No solution at the moment. Install compiz fusion icon and switch to metacity to watch videos without flickering. | 19:03 |
| afief | jim_p: don't think so, he can hardly use synaptic | 19:03 |
| Pici | jim_p: I beleive they will use the i386 kernel just fine. there is also lpia builds of many packages as well. | 19:04 |
| tiyowan | jemark: It's not an Ubuntu issue. Problem's between ATI and Compiz. | 19:04 |
| Pici | Xisdibik: I'm just about to step away from the computer, so I suggest asking the channel again. | 19:04 |
| bastid_raZor | LeeQ; please don't pm :) add -t ext3 after mount. which i'm guessing that your partition is ext3 since it has kubuntu on it | 19:04 |
| oneseventeen | how do you choose a different mirror for apt? | 19:04 |
| jemark | tiyowan, mine is a intel X3100 onboard video card | 19:04 |
| jim_p | sec | 19:04 |
| oneseventeen | I've got 1 day and 23hours remaining on downloading a 3MB perl-modules package | 19:04 |
| tiyowan | oneseventeen: Sys -> Admin -> Software Sources. | 19:05 |
| ALfY- | tiyowan: Can I PM you with my current status ? | 19:05 |
| ubuntu | i/server irc.freakbase.net 6666 | 19:05 |
| tiyowan | ALfY-: Sure. Go ahead. | 19:05 |
| Halitech | noonubuntu, I can't even find an mf5550, are you sure on the model number? | 19:05 |
| jemark | tiyowan, slideshow in f-spot givines flickering... videos are ok here, but googleearth gives also the same flickering... | 19:05 |
| tiyowan | jemark: The issue seems to affect the entire Xnnnn series. | 19:05 |
| Xisdibik | Ok well for anyone then. I can open the wireless networking page and create connection and it asks for SSID: the Mode: then BSSID and then a mac address (whats the BSSID vs SSID?) and does it want the mac address of the router? | 19:05 |
| noonubuntu | Halitech yea Canon Mf5550 | 19:05 |
| Cadman21 | Can Brasero rip dvd to a compuer? | 19:05 |
| Halitech | noonubuntu, check here for known info on printers http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Canon | 19:05 |
| oneseventeen | tiyowan: oops, should have mentioned CLI only... | 19:06 |
| noonubuntu | k | 19:06 |
| Maxxik | why linux sucks? | 19:06 |
| tiyowan | jemark: Quick test would be to open up a terminal, "metacity --replace", test, then "compiz --replace" | 19:06 |
| bastid_raZor | Cadman21; sorta.. it can copy it as an iso | 19:06 |
| LeeQ | bastid_raZor: "Can't find ext3 on filesystem on dev sda1" same thing if I try ext2 | 19:06 |
| tiyowan | Maxxik: Take that elsewhere, please. | 19:06 |
| jtaji | Cadman21: you could use 'dvdrip' | 19:06 |
| bastid_raZor | LeeQ; when you did the fdisk -l what did it say under System for /dev/sda1 ? | 19:07 |
| LeeQ | bastid_raZor: could that be an indication that the drive is fried? | 19:07 |
| noonubuntu | Halitech its not on there at all | 19:07 |
| Cadman21 | I want to put my dvds on my laptop so when I travel I can watch them. if I copy as an iso can I watch them on my computer? | 19:07 |
| LeeQ | bastid_raZor: says "Linux" | 19:07 |
| Halitech | Maxxik, are you in need or support or are you just here to complain? | 19:07 |
| nbeebo | the graphic stuff, is it called fglrx? doefgorffdgfg | 19:07 |
| Halitech | noonubuntu, I know | 19:07 |
| jemark | tiyowan, but you have an ATI card and I have an Intel one... yes, that is one solution but annoying to type that all the time when i want to use the slideshow in f-spot and want to use googleearth | 19:07 |
| bastid_raZor | LeeQ; where you having drives issues before? | 19:08 |
| nbeebo | is it called fglrx or frglx? | 19:08 |
| LeeQ | all started this morning with a GRUB error 17 | 19:08 |
| nbeebo | ill ask in offtopic cause im in a hurry | 19:08 |
| bastid_raZor | nbeebo; fglrx | 19:09 |
| jemark | LeeQ, that means ur Grub doesn't see a partition. | 19:09 |
| Halitech | noonubuntu, only post I find relevant is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=109121 | 19:09 |
| RizR | thinking to change grub->gfxboot due to prettier themes etc. puzzled as to why ubuntu still hasn't adopted it? anyone got any thoughts on it? | 19:09 |
| nbeebo | bastid_raZor, thanks | 19:09 |
| RizR | seems pretty straight forward though. | 19:09 |
| jemark | LeeQ, HD problem mostlikely. | 19:09 |
| bastid_raZor | LeeQ; possibly your drive is having issues. | 19:09 |
| ardchoille | RizR: Some of us don't reboot often | 19:10 |
| bastid_raZor | ardchoille; RizR exactly, my box reboots about once a month. | 19:10 |
| RizR | ardchoille: what about rest of U | 19:10 |
| bastid_raZor | RizR; you may get a better response is #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:10 |
| LeeQ | bastid_raZor: other way to attempt to get files off this HDD? | 19:11 |
| Halitech | RizR, I reboot normally about once a month | 19:11 |
| RizR | bastid_raZor: thanks. | 19:11 |
| RizR | stop gloating about it everyone. we all know about lack of boot. I just asked one question not booting patterns for everyone. | 19:12 |
| bastid_raZor | LeeQ; if you can't get it mounted, as far as i know, no.. if the drive is fried :\ | 19:12 |
| LeeQ | bastid_raZor: crappitty crap | 19:12 |
| Accidus | I have a problem with hibernate: When I tell my laptop to hibernate, it seems to be doing everything alright. Then, when I turn it on again, it starts waking up from hibernation, I get a mouse pointer, but then the machine freezes. The pointer won't move. Hibernation used to work when I first installed Ubuntu, but now it no longer works. I should have enough swap space (I have 3GB ram and my swap is 6GB, working on an Inspiron 1545) | 19:13 |
| shannon | Having a problem on a fully updated hardy install. Every now and then in the middle of a session sound playback completely stops, any player, rhythmbox, mplayer, etc., just shows the progress bar stuck at 0 and no sound plays. Only way to make it play again seems to be to reboot. Searched but can't find anything about this problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? | 19:13 |
| jemark | tiyowan, i saw this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/252094 | 19:13 |

| LeeQ | bastid_raZor: yeah, it's really not the cost of the drive I am concerned about... it's the fact that it fried right after I got everything cofigured the way I wanted it (bind, apache, postfix, dovecot, etc) and right BEFORE I backed it up (that was my project for Friday) | 19:16 |
| tiyowan | jemark: Quick test would be to open up a terminal, "metacity --replace", test, then "compiz --replace" <- Did you try this? | 19:16 |

| ocRob | yaris123456789_: top | 20:28 |
| DasEi | The_Joe_: I found something, but that will delete your config to default, go to a cmd -line (alt-ctrl_F1) , think before : sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity , or wait for another response | 20:28 |

| bastid_raZor | Pienjo; you're talking about kernels? if so you'll have to recompile all the selfcompiled programs and drivers that you manually installed. besides that it should be fairly painless | 20:33 |

| \\`oot | every time my kernel updates I have a new option at reboot - how do I get rid of all but the current one please? | 20:37 |
| Kidfork | When installing something, is it better to sudo it, or to run as root and apt-get (no sudo)? | 20:37 |
| linxeh | \\`oot: remove the kernel packages you dont want (I guess) | 20:37 |
| bastid_raZor | The_Joe_; in ccsm turn window decorations on | 20:37 |
| DasEi | \\`oot:edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:37 |
| The_Joe_ | bastid_raZor, They are on | 20:37 |
| Gun_Smoke | restricted drivers manager front ends what? ndiswrapper? | 20:38 |

| yaris123456789_ | hey guys how do i find out how much ram cpanel is using ? | 20:38 |
| \\`oot | DasEi: No, I actually want to remove the ones I'll never use again... why do they keep piling up? | 20:38 |
| \\`oot | I'm sure they take up system space (disk space) | 20:38 |
| bastid_raZor | The_Joe_; turn them off then back on, i tend to not like borders and the opposite happens to me at times. turning them off then on fixes the reverse issue for me. | 20:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | \\`oot they will always stay until you remove them | 20:38 |
| The_Joe_ | bastid_raZor, I've tried that too | 20:38 |
| \\`oot | Jack_Sparrow: that's my point, HOW? | 20:39 |
| \\`oot | from Synaptic? | 20:39 |
| DasEi | \\`oot:they are located in /boot , can manually remove them | 20:39 |
| linxeh | \\`oot: they take up a tiny amount of space really, but are there because an update might fail, you want to be able to select the old one and boot the system still | 20:39 |
| \\`oot | linux-image-2. ?? | 20:39 |
| linxeh | DasEi: thats not the only place things are... | 20:39 |
| Flannel | \\`oot: yes, in synaptic, linux-image-[version] | 20:39 |
| bastid_raZor | The_Joe_; #compiz-fusion may be a better place to ask if you don't get answers here | 20:39 |
| The_Joe_ | bastid_raZor, All right. | 20:39 |
| Flannel | DasEi: No, removing them manually from /boot is a bad idea | 20:39 |
| linxeh | DasEi: modules are in /lib/modules/, documentation goes in other places. use the proper tools. | 20:39 |
| \\`oot | Flannel: How do most people handle it? | 20:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | \\`oot edit the menu list and rm the kernel entries you dont want.. synaptic of any apt-get option you want | 20:39 |
| Raiders32 | has anyone gotten a Canon i70 portable printer to work with Intrepid? | 20:39 |
| Flannel | \\`oot: by removing the appropriate packages using their favorite package manager | 20:40 |
| \\`oot | Do you all just let them accumulate? | 20:40 |
| \\`oot | ok | 20:40 |
| Flannel | \\`oot: and then clear them out occassionally, yeah. | 20:40 |
| bastid_raZor | \\`oot; i keep the current and 1 previous version .. for just in case purposes. | 20:41 |
| \\`oot | Do I "Mark for removal" or "Mark for Complete Removal"?? | 20:41 |
| e-head | Alright... I downloaded a bunch of codecs from the medibuntu repo, and downloaded mplayer. | 20:41 |
| \\`oot | bastid_raZor: I'm with you, but now I have 7 so... heh | 20:41 |
| e-head | What is this gstreamer all about? Do I need it? | 20:41 |
| Flannel | \\`oot: complete removal | 20:41 |
| Gun_Smoke | When de-activating a driver with restricted drivers manager is it purged as well? | 20:41 |
| \\`oot | gotta run - Merry christmas | 20:41 |

| Johannes_ | i closed the panel with the clock, applications..... | 21:05 |
| gsingh | i've tried this but it won't see it on the network | 21:05 |
| deaflink | hello | 21:05 |
| deaflink | /ho is me | 21:05 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: ok, just wondering | 21:05 |
| deaflink | /ho is me | 21:05 |
| FloodBot3 | deaflink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:05 |
| gsingh | when i use the browse function | 21:05 |
| fde | Johannes_: ok, right click, add panel ... move that to the top or wherever you want... then on that click "Add to panel" and browse through for the things you'd like in it... | 21:05 |
| fde | gsingh: hi | 21:05 |
| s3a | tiyowan, lol that's the drivers for keyboard and mouse | 21:05 |
| Johannes_ | hmm ok | 21:06 |
| s3a | onetinsoldier, (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so | 21:06 |
| tiyowan | s3a: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf - Look in the driver section. :) | 21:06 |
| s3a | onetinsoldier, o wait! it says it's loading radeon driver? so im using radeon then and not fglrx, right? | 21:06 |
| onetinsoldier | s3a: correct | 21:06 |
| s3a | o thanks :) | 21:06 |
| bastid_raZor | Johannes_; i think what you're looking for is 'window list' in the add panel options | 21:07 |
| onetinsoldier | s3a: i can help you get the flgrx driver built as .deb packages | 21:07 |
| Johannes_ | fount everything | 21:07 |
| Johannes_ | now i have to put all things back again | 21:07 |
| fde | Johannes_: obvious ones are Notification Area, Clock, Window List, etc | 21:07 |
| s3a | onetinsoldier, no thanks, it's okay, the open source one hasn't given me a problem but I am just filling a compiz specific bug and needed to include those | 21:07 |
| pyrophelia | how do I get my ubuntu version #? | 21:07 |
| Flannel | pyrophelia: lsb_release -a | 21:08 |

| bastid_raZor | Johannes_; you can right click the item on the bar and select move | 21:09 |
| Johannes_ | ah ok ^^ | 21:09 |
| hlfshell | hey all - whenever I Try to load the printing configuration windows under System -> Administration I get a python error about it not finding the debug module. How can I fix this?? | 21:09 |
| tiyowan | hifshell: The window just says "debug module"? | 21:11 |
| Johannes_ | ok now i got it, thx ;-); and sry for my nooblike appearance, but im new in the linux world.... | 21:12 |
| fde | Johannes_: no apology required, we were all noob's at one time :) | 21:12 |
| idejmcd | what is the codec pack for VLC that i need to convert videos to ipod and how do i get it? | 21:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Johannes_; glad to help out :) | 21:13 |
| lucax | how do i restore usplash defaults? | 21:13 |
| hischild | idejmcd, vlc doesn't use codec packs. | 21:13 |
| Slart | idejmcd: I don't think vlc uses codecs.. or it has it's own codecs built in | 21:13 |
| n000bler | Im having difficulty trying to get the screen resoulution on my 42" sharp monitor to appear properly, any help | 21:13 |
| MatBoy | what can be wrong when the nvidia X server settings don't see my second graphical card ? | 21:13 |
| fde | Slart: It uses codecs, mostly from the mplayer project | 21:14 |
| MatBoy | 8.10 is a real pain :( | 21:14 |
| idejmcd | Slart: i get this error when i try to convert avi to mpeg/aac: p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } VLC could not find encoder "MPEG AAC Audio". Streaming / Transcoding failed: VLC could not find encoder "MPEG-4 Video | 21:14 |
| lucax | MatBoy: why? | 21:14 |
| idejmcd | fde: do you know how i can get missing codecs? | 21:14 |
| MatBoy | lucax: on my P5K it doesn not start that wel, booting hangs, xinerama + nvidia doesn't work ok... never had on 8.0.4 | 21:14 |
| lucax | idejmcd: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restriected-extras | 21:15 |
| fde | idejmcd: is libfaac0 installed? | 21:15 |
| timholum | hello | 21:15 |
| Slart | fde: oh... so you *can* add codecs to it? | 21:15 |
| lucax | MatBoy: disable compiz and try | 21:15 |
| fde | Slart: umm, yes | 21:15 |
| MatBoy | lucax: yep did that, didn't work | 21:15 |
| MatBoy | mhh, now is root on LVM gone :S | 21:15 |
| fde | Slart: Its no different from any other video or audio player on Linux... apt-cache show vlc | 21:16 |
| MatBoy | lucax: or install 8.04 and update ? | 21:16 |
| Slart | idejmcd: uhm.. I have no idea.. I didn't even think vlc could use external codecs... I've got some man reading to do | 21:16 |
| hischild | Slart, it can, but usually it doesn't. | 21:16 |
| lucax | MatBoy: that wont help... can u describe the problem? | 21:16 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan - sorry got pulled away | 21:17 |
| idejmcd | fde: E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restriected-extras | 21:17 |
| onetinsoldier | typo there | 21:17 |
| bastid_raZor | idejmcd; restricted | 21:17 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan - no it says a debug issue and then points to a particular paranethesis in some file......i think my python is screwed up honestly | 21:17 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan - cause i have trouble running scriptsi k new work now too...... so im pretty sure my python is screwed up. | 21:18 |
| fde | idejmcd: ensure that multiverse is enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources | 21:18 |
| tiyowan | hifshell: Hmm...could you please copy/paste the exact error? | 21:18 |
| hlfshell | sure one second | 21:18 |

| hlfshell | there you are tiyowan - http://pastebin.com/m224c3f2 | 21:19 |
| syamajala | hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu, but i can't launch the installer | 21:19 |
| BobPenguin | I'm installing ubuntu on a friend's box. His got an old celeron 750 machine. What would be the lightest linux distribution to install? I would need something that would stand in a good light compared to the win98 already installed in the box | 21:19 |
| syamajala | i booted the cd and there is a menu, but when i select install ubuntu nothing happens | 21:19 |
| Slart | hmm.. I guess I misunderstood the "It doesn't need any external codec or program to work" to mean that vlc had it all "built-in".. but it seems it uses all kinds of external stuff... well well.. something new, every day | 21:19 |
| tiyowan | hlfshell: Thanks. Checking. | 21:19 |
| hlfshell | thanks tiyowan. | 21:20 |
| hischild | BobPenguin, ubuntu will do just fine. And if it's really to heavy, you can install xubuntu on the fly there. | 21:20 |
| onetinsoldier | BobPenguin: plain debian | 21:20 |
| zsquareplusc | BobPenguin: i'm usually happy with standard ubuntu. if the box has 5120MB RAM. otherwise you may want to try xubuntu | 21:20 |
| hlfshell | BobPenguin - i'll second xubuntu | 21:20 |
| timholum | I am having problems routing in ubuntu 8.04, i done the following echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward also edited /etc/sysctl.conf and added net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 then did /etc/init.d/networking restart and /etc/init.d/procps restart yet it still does not route trafic? any ideas | 21:20 |
| Slart | timholum: you ran the first command as root, right? | 21:21 |
| MatBoy | lucax: I can't get X not started using xinerama, compiz is already off. What I also had was that 8.10 failed on the intel HDA | 21:21 |
| timholum | correct | 21:21 |
| zsquareplusc | timholum: so you set the other machines gateway to the one with the forward? | 21:21 |
| timholum | i am root | 21:21 |
| PolitikerNEU | hmm ... maybe a small linux distribution like puppy linux or dsl would do the job better? Xubuntu is rather "fat" so I don't think it is usable on an old machine like that | 21:21 |
| Slart | timholum: because it can be kind of tricky to use with sudo.. | 21:21 |
| alinet | hay guys | 21:21 |
| alinet | mary Xmas | 21:21 |
| syamajala | even if i select try ubuntu nothing happens | 21:21 |
| BobPenguin | hischild, zsquareplus, I did already install ubuntustudio and changed gnome for xfce, but the box is still too slow. Would a clean install of xubuntu be faster? | 21:22 |
| Slart | timholum: I'm not sure if you need to setup some iptables rules just for general routing.. are you following some kind of howto? | 21:22 |
| timholum | yup, and doing a tracert from the other computers ( on both sides ) they all stop at the ubuntu server | 21:22 |
| onetinsoldier | alinet: hi, merry christmas | 21:22 |
| zsquareplusc | BobPenguin: probably not. how much RAM does it haev? | 21:22 |
| tiyowan | hlfshell: Try sudo aptitude update, then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 21:22 |
| BobPenguin | zsquareplus, its got like 350 ram | 21:22 |
| hischild | BobPenguin, ubuntu-studio is much heavier then ubuntu. | 21:22 |
| lucax | MatBoy: i dont know about xinerama, but i have intel hardware and hda as well... whats exactly the problem with sound? did u try using alsa insted of pulse? | 21:23 |
| timholum | i looked on line and thoughts are the only two commands i found unless i want to do nating which i dont | 21:23 |
| zsquareplusc | BobPenguin: that should work. it may help if you stop all unneded services. | 21:23 |
| syamajala | hmm | 21:23 |
| syamajala | it doesn't look like any of the options in the bootloader actually do anything | 21:23 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan - done. testing it now | 21:24 |
| hlfshell | same error tiyowan | 21:24 |
| BobPenguin | ok, gonna try a clean xubuntu install (gee, some more work...) thanks a lot zsquaceplusc and hischild! | 21:24 |
| tiyowan | hifshell: Ok hang on. | 21:24 |
| hischild | BobPenguin, that's what we're here for. | 21:24 |
| Solarium | Good evening guys, i again come with a question :) | 21:24 |
| timholum | i also checked and ufw is not enabled | 21:24 |
| BobPenguin | hey, would fluxbuntu be lighter? | 21:24 |
| syamajala | only the boot from first hd option works | 21:24 |
| syamajala | anyone else have this problem with the ubuntu cd? | 21:25 |
| Solarium | A friend of mine wants to try ubuntu as well, but for him its improtant to be able to use .net framework and sharp c, is it possible to run those in ubuntu ? | 21:25 |
| Slart | Solarium: take a look at mono | 21:25 |
| Solarium | c sharp* | 21:25 |
| MatBoy | lucax: it just hangs on it when I enable HDA in the bios | 21:25 |
| Solarium | Slart, thanks man looking | 21:25 |
| hischild | BobPenguin, it might, but it's not an official distro. | 21:26 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan -any idea? | 21:26 |
| BobPenguin | thanks a lot hischild. Going back to the box now! | 21:26 |
| Solarium | Slart, ahh looks about right, thanks again | 21:26 |
| tiyowan | hifshell: Wait one, please. | 21:27 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | Does anyone know what the "Basic Ubuntu server" option means in the server setup? | 21:27 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan - ok | 21:27 |
| Jeruvy | what is the command to add a gateway so that DNS is passed along to it? route add gw x.x.x.x default ? | 21:27 |
| lucax | MatBoy: /etc/X11/xsession.d/70pulseaudio move that file to /root and then select alsa in system preferences sound and try again | 21:27 |
| === odder_ is now known as odder | ||
| tiyowan | hifshell: Did you upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid? Or is this a fresh install? | 21:27 |
| hlfshell | hardy to intrepid. | 21:28 |
| Slart | Solarium: you're welcome | 21:28 |
| MatBoy | lucax: it hangs during booting | 21:28 |
| lucax | MatBoy: then u should see if something in the motherboard is broken, it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu | 21:29 |
| Grasputin | Jeruvy: check this out, it should help you.... http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-route-add/ | 21:29 |
| tiyowan | hlfshell: I cannot find a lot of information, but this appears to be a debian-related bug tagged as "serious", http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486516. Perhaps a fresh install would eradicate the problem? | 21:29 |
| hlfshell | tiyowan - can't fresh install. it would take me FOREVER to get everything back the way i want it :-/ | 21:30 |
| Jeruvy | Grasputin: I did that but no DNS | 21:30 |
| hlfshell | oh well - thanks anyway :-/ | 21:30 |
| hlfshell | thanks for the help :-) | 21:30 |
| === harry is now known as Guest36806 | ||
| hischild | hlfshell, what's exactly the issue? | 21:30 |
| syamajala | i'm having trouble running the installer | 21:30 |
| tiyowan | hischild: http://pastebin.com/m224c3f2 | 21:30 |
| Grasputin | jeruvy: what exactly are you trying to do, just setup a dns server, route dns queries over a specific interface, etc? | 21:31 |
| syamajala | the cd boots, but just sits at the bootloader menu | 21:31 |
| hlfshell | hischild - I get this error when I run system-config-printer | 21:31 |
| syamajala | selecting one of the options in the bootloader doesn't do anything | 21:31 |
| hlfshell | : | 21:31 |
| hlfshell | hischild -http://pastebin.com/m224c3f2 | 21:31 |
| Jeruvy | Grasputin: auto-config does not work on my network. I can manual config, get an IP add the gateway, but no DNS | 21:31 |
| Grasputin | syamajala: might need to reburn the ISO at a lower speed, same thing happened to me when I burned mine @ 48x | 21:31 |
| hlfshell | also, hischild, all my old python code doesnt work anymore | 21:31 |
| TimS | BBC iPlayer client for Mac and Windows is out! | 21:31 |
| hlfshell | and it definately did at some point | 21:31 |
| Grasputin | jeruvy: I think I understand ya. You can ping things by IP, but nothing else right? | 21:32 |
| hischild | hlfshell, there's some more apps that run on python, might be that python in general is bad? | 21:32 |
| Jeruvy | Grasputin: that is correct | 21:32 |
| Grasputin | have you tried just dhclient eth0.....? | 21:32 |
| tiyowan | hifshell: You could try reinstalling the python packages...but I don't really know the relevant packages you'd need to go about reinstalling. | 21:32 |
| hlfshell | what app, hischild, can i use to test that theory? | 21:32 |
| Jeruvy | Grasputin: no, isn't that autoconfig'ing? | 21:33 |
| hischild | hlfshell, how about python itself? | 21:33 |
| bah | is us.archive.ubuntu.com slow or something? | 21:33 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, what does your ifconfig look like? | 21:33 |
| === NDPTAL85 is now known as A_Very_XMass_NDP | ||

| hlfshell | import debug doesn't work though | 21:33 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: ifconfig looks ok | 21:33 |
| hischild | hlfshell, did you fully upgrade? | 21:33 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, does it show any dns servers? | 21:33 |
| hlfshell | hischild, is there a way to not fully upgrade? or check to see if i did? | 21:33 |
| tiyowan | bah: I've had that complaint earlier today. | 21:33 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: just the gateway | 21:34 |
| energY | spaceinvader: Doh, this isn't the ubuntu channel... | 21:34 |
| energY | Can I rip dvd's using ubuntu? | 21:34 |
| hischild | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <--- this ought to upgrade your current distro | 21:34 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, if its not showing any dns servers then you need to add dns server info | 21:34 |
| hischild | hlfshell, ^ | 21:34 |
| Joke | gg | 21:34 |
| eternaljoy | is there a pgp for ubuntu? | 21:34 |

| eternaljoy | !gpgp | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gpgp | 21:34 |
| hlfshell | hischild - i am fully upgraded, as that really didnt install anything new. | 21:34 |
| energY | Halitech: Can you point me in the rigth direction? | 21:35 |
| Jeruvy | !gpg | 21:35 |
| ubottu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 21:35 |
| eternaljoy | is there a pgp encryption for ubuntu? | 21:35 |
| fwaokda | XFCEntral, no im sorry its the one at the left of the screen in most of these screenshots | 21:35 |
| hischild | hlfshell, that was including the update? | 21:35 |
| hlfshell | hischild - yes i ran that command first | 21:35 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, would be nameserver 192.168.0.1 (if thats your router) plus you may want to add the dns of your isp as well | 21:35 |

| hischild | hlfshell, copy your sources.list to a safe location, change ALL references from hardy to intrepid, then update. This ought to give you many more updates as your sources.list is out of date . | 21:38 |
| hlfshell | ok - this will take a minute. brb hischild | 21:38 |
| antares | hello everyone i've got a slight problem please anyone help ;) ... I just got myself an wifi usb dongle and installed rt73 drivers for it...works great, injects while in monitor mode etc... but when i try to use an usb extension cable.. my Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't recognize the dongle... ???? why? | 21:38 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: ya nameserver 'command not found'. I'll check the link | 21:38 |
| Halitech | antares, could be a bad cable | 21:38 |
| onetinsoldier | hlfshell: you can do what hischild says with one sed command, let me know if you want it | 21:38 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, ok | 21:38 |
| tiyowan | hischild: Isn't that odd that the sources.list didn't get changed automatically? Bad upgrade process, maybe? | 21:38 |
| antares | the weird thing is when the cable is pluged in... ifconfig doesn't work... | 21:38 |
| hang3r | I had the same problem with gnomes network manager, setting a static ip addresss resolved the issue, however setting a static ip address with knetworkmanager still wont work | 21:38 |
| hischild | antares, wlan dongles need a VERY stable transfer rate. Using an extension cable breaks down the signal. | 21:39 |
| antares | Halitech: i just bought it | 21:39 |
| fwaokda | XFCEntral, i'll brb then i'll grab the link | 21:39 |
| hlfshell | onetinsoldier - how do you do that? | 21:39 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: I'd like to see the cmd. :) | 21:39 |
| Halitech | antares, doesn't mean its not a bad cable | 21:39 |
| antares | hischild: i know... but...it should work? i mean...isn't there any "good" cable? | 21:39 |
| antares | i got it with my wlan dongle | 21:40 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: I don't want to modify the dhcp.conf, just manually config. (livecd) | 21:40 |
| hischild | onetinsoldier, hlfshell, yup u can. cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list.bak && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed s/hardy/intrepid/g > ~/sources.list.new && sudo cp ~/sources.list.new /etc/apt/sources.list onetinsoldier, please confirm. | 21:40 |
| ito | hi. I have a quick question. where can I find the log that is created when i try to hibernate my computer | 21:40 |
| ito | > | 21:40 |
| hischild | antares, some dongles are more sensitive to extension cables then others . | 21:40 |
| antares | hischild: i want to place the dongle on my window so i can get better signal.. if it's pluged in directly... bad | 21:40 |
| Flannel | hischild, onetinsoldier: That's not how you should be upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid | 21:41 |
| onetinsoldier | hlfshell and tiyowan: cd /etc/apt --> sudo -i(not sure if just sudo will be ok or not, so sudo -i) then... sed sources.list 's/hardy/intrepid' > sources.list.new | 21:41 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, then it would be /etc/network/interfaces you want to edit | 21:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Flannel: he's already upgraded | 21:41 |
| hischild | Flannel, we're aware of that. lsb_release -a gives intrepid, sources are hardy. | 21:41 |
| Flannel | He's likely got another sources.list in /etc/sources.list.d/ | 21:41 |
| tiyowan | hischild, onetinsoldier: This is *good* info. Gracias. :) | 21:41 |
| Flannel | with Intrepid stuffs, if he'll pastebin his output of sudo apt-get update, we can verify. | 21:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Flannel: apparently there's a question of whether his 'entire'(perhaps customized) file has been completely switched to intrepid | 21:42 |
| antares | hischild: but why would they give you a cable with the dongle if it's not compatible?? | 21:42 |
| sisif | Hello guys. I know this will be a LAME question but, from where can I toggle what icons I get on the desktop ? | 21:42 |
| hischild | antares, beats me | 21:42 |
| antares | should i take it back? | 21:42 |
| antares | buy a new cable? | 21:42 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: :-) | 21:42 |
| hischild | Flannel, good point. Let's see. | 21:42 |
| Luomeng | hi people | 21:42 |
| Flannel | tiyowan: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` (ideally, before you ran that command) | 21:42 |
| hischild | hlfshell, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | sudo apt-get update | pastebinit | 21:42 |
| hischild | hlfshell, uhm make that first pipe a && | 21:43 |
| XFCEntral | sisif: its called Configuration Editor. ill pull up a how to link for you | 21:43 |
| aldur2008 | hi all | 21:43 |
| aldur2008 | anyone know how to install ubuntu on a machine with hardware raid? | 21:43 |
| sisif | XFCEntral : thank you | 21:43 |
| tiyowan | Flannel: Sorry? | 21:43 |
| onetinsoldier | hlfshell: then... cp -v sources.list sources.list.old && cp -v sources.list.new sources.list | 21:43 |
| hlfshell | ???? | 21:44 |
| XFCEntral | sisif: its a pretty quick change but here you go: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t16.htm | 21:44 |
| onetinsoldier | hlfshell: and tiyowan doh! i made a mistake!! | 21:44 |
| Luomeng | i have a question about ubuntu on the Samsung NC10. The instruction guide tells me to type in "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid" into terminal to install the latest wifi drivers, but it doesn't work. Help! | 21:44 |
| antares | hischild: i've been banging my head in to this all day...and in the end...nothing ;( | 21:44 |
| Flannel | tiyowan: run `sudo apt-get update`, then go to patse.ubuntu.com and paste the output of the command there (then hit submit, and give us the URL) | 21:44 |
| onetinsoldier | hlfshell and tiyowan: sed sources.list 's/hardy/intrepid/' > sources.list.new | 21:44 |
| akahige2 | ever since I upgraded to Intrepid, my video performance is totally borked. is there a way to revert to the Hardy version of xorg, or am I stuck having to revert everything to Hardy? | 21:44 |
| tiyowan | Flannel: Why would I do that, mate? :) I haven't got any problem. | 21:44 |
| sisif | XFCEntral : ok, got it from repos. I just can`t remeber what was the app called :) | 21:45 |
| aldur2008 | !bot raid | 21:45 |

| XFCEntral | sisif: ahhhh. enjoy, i think the GNOME desktop looks nice with those icons | 21:45 |
| hlfshell | i ran update with the new list, and am running upgrade now | 21:45 |
| Joelito | for example I just want php5, not apache2* as php5 "suggest" | 21:45 |
| hlfshell | it says there are 11 new packages to install | 21:45 |
| hlfshell | so im letting it do its thing.... | 21:45 |
| koala_man | how do I install an older kernel version? | 21:45 |

| nukem2525 | is anyone aware of a program that allows you to catalogue your movie collection, preferably one that runs on a LAMP server? | 21:48 |
| ito | hi. I have a quick question. where can I find the log that is created when i try to hibernate my computer | 21:48 |
| dewente | how to be a good linux administrator | 21:48 |
| tiyowan | hlfshell: You ran sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade right? | 21:48 |
| Halitech | nukem2525, gcstar I think its called, its in the repos | 21:48 |
| hlfshell | yes tiyowan | 21:48 |
| akahige2 | can I revert the Intrepid version of Xorg to the Hardy version? | 21:48 |
| hlfshell | is there anything else i should do when upgrade is over? | 21:48 |
| hischild | akahige2, no. | 21:48 |
| hischild | hlfshell, check if what was broken before is still broken. | 21:49 |
| tiyowan | hifshell: I don't think so. :) Take a crack at printer config again and see if it works now? | 21:49 |
| hlfshell | well hischild the good news i s i just saw it install a few python updates, os hopefully that means it will be fixed afterall.... | 21:49 |
| Flannel | onetinsoldier: Of course | 21:49 |
| akahige2 | hischild: thanks. so if my video is borked, my option is basically to reinstall Hardy? | 21:49 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: no go. | 21:49 |
| hlfshell | well its still upgrading..... | 21:49 |
| nukem2525 | Halitech: Thanks | 21:49 |
| hischild | hlfshell, might take some time, just let it run | 21:50 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, not sure then but it should be getting the info somewhere | 21:50 |
| allsystemsarego | akahige2, run this command "grep -i Accel /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and post the result | 21:50 |
| J-_ | !spatial | 21:50 |
| Halitech | nukem2525, if you can't find gcstar do a search on video collection and I think you should find it | 21:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about spatial | 21:50 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: ya this issue has me borked. The installed ubuntu's autoconfig ok, but the livecd's refuse | 21:50 |
| hlfshell | Alright - tiyowan hischild onetinsoldier - i am going to let the upgrade run and get me some dinner. Thank you very much for all your help! happy holidays everyone! | 21:50 |
| akahige2 | allsystemsarego: got no output | 21:51 |
| nukem2525 | Halitech, I found it with a google search | 21:51 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, and all connecting to the same router/ISP? | 21:51 |
| atomicfreeze | hello | 21:51 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: yep | 21:51 |
| Halitech | nukem2525, ok, I used it previously and it was nice, even connected to imdb to get info for you | 21:51 |
| allsystemsarego | akahige2, don't just give up, google for "intrepid sluggish video" | 21:51 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, strange | 21:51 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: I think it hates my network :) | 21:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Flannel: i had a 'newb' come here yesterday that wanted to upgrade from hardy to intrepid, but couldn't seem to do it the usual way. (update manager?). someone told them that a major upgrade like that is not supported on an LTS release through the update manager or something to that effect. do you know about this? | 21:52 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, must be a MS product on there somewhere influencing it ;) | 21:52 |
| akahige2 | allsystemsarego: it's not sluggish. if I'm doing anything, xorg chews up >75% of my cpu | 21:52 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: lol. I think it's the /20 network I'm using that the livecd autoconfig isn't agreeing with. | 21:53 |
| Flannel | onetinsoldier: With LTS releases, you need to go to software sources, and choose that you want all (non-LTS) stable upgrades. There' three options actually. One is just LTS, the other is non-LTS (or, 'every' release) and the last is don't notify me, if I remember correctly | 21:53 |
| Flannel | onetinsoldier: That way if you're on Hardy, you can choose to wait for 10.04 before being asked about upgrading | 21:53 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, that could be it | 21:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Flannel: so i told them that, as a former plain old debian user that had upgraded from stable to unstable a few times, i knew how to do it manually. so, they went for it with my sed command, and then did a dist-upgrade. it worked fine for them... just an fyi | 21:54 |
| allsystemsarego | akahige2, ok, then google for "site:bugs.launchpad.net intrepid xorg CPU performance" | 21:54 |
| Flannel | onetinsoldier: There's nothing saying manually won't work fine. You just have to make sure you have the proper metapackages installed (ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard, an appropriate kernel metapackage, and their appropriate -desktop metapackage, if applicable) | 21:54 |
| akahige2 | allsystemsarego: done that. all of the bugs -- including the one that I filed -- are sitting in launchpad marked "confirmed undecided" | 21:55 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: so how do I tweak the routes around to make this work? It has IP and I get add the gateway so getting DNS shouldn't be that hard ;) | 21:55 |
| aldur2008 | anyone know anything about RAID? | 21:55 |
| Flannel | onetinsoldier: update-manager just makes sure everything is in order, and does some other sanity checks and things like that for added safety | 21:55 |
| ishan | hello everybody..just needed some help. Can anybody help me with editing the sudoers file. I want to run a command 'poff' without requiring the password when it is run with sudo. any idea what should i enter in the sudoers file?? | 21:55 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: fyi, I think I read somewhere on the ubuntu site that a fresh install is *preferred* to an upgrade. | 21:55 |
| allsystemsarego | akahige2, ok, then I don't know what to recommend :( | 21:55 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, I think you will need to edit the dhcp.conf file I mentioned earlier to add the name servers | 21:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Flannel: ok, i'll keep tha in mind. i did look over both their hardy and the new sources.list files before i had them do the dist-upgrade to try to determine if anything looked out of pplace.. look good to me so i said go for it | 21:56 |
| akahige2 | allsystemsarego: I appreciate your ideas, though. if I can't revert xorg to the hardy version (which worked just fine), then I guess I'm going to have to revert the whole thing to hardy | 21:56 |
| ishan | could anybody help me in editing the sudoers file | 21:56 |
| ishan | i needed some help in editing the sudoers file..anybody?? | 21:57 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: yeah. i usually fresh install myself. but, in regular old debian, lot of times the sid(unstable) installer does not work, and you only choice is to install stable, the dist-upgrade to unstable | 21:57 |
| mavsman | What is a good icon set I can use to mimic xp? | 21:57 |
| ishan | anybody who could help me in editing the sudoers file?? | 21:58 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: then dist-upgrade* | 21:58 |
| zertyui` | hi 2 all | 21:58 |
| aldur2008 | I've a machine wiht 3 drives in hardware raid mandriva sees it as a single drive but ubuntu doesn't any ideas | 21:58 |
| Halitech | ishan, why do you need to edit it? | 21:58 |
| zertyui` | is there anyone ihere ? | 21:58 |
| tiyowan | onetinsoldier: Gotcha. :) | 21:58 |
| zertyui` | hello | 21:58 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, no we are all figments of your imagination ;) | 21:58 |
| zertyui` | is there anyone hiere ? | 21:58 |
| ishan | Halitech, i need to use the command pon and poff without the need to enter the password. | 21:58 |

| Halitech | ishan, you should already be in the sudoers file | 21:59 |
| zertyui` | is it possible to install ubuntu on web server ? | 21:59 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, yes it is | 21:59 |
| zertyui` | how do u connect to that server ? | 21:59 |
| zertyui` | if the answer is yes | 22:00 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, what server? | 22:00 |
| jedi06 | how do you copy a directory into another directory? | 22:00 |
| zertyui` | the ubuntu web server | 22:00 |
| dewente | one of the most frequent job as linux administrator is working with a websever ? | 22:00 |
| Flannel | ishan: It'd be better to just make another user alias for all of your users (since there are 'users' on your machine that aren't actually users, you probably won't want them being able to disconnect you) | 22:00 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, open a web browser and point it at the IP address or the domain name of the server | 22:01 |
| onetinsoldier | jedi06: cp -R <dir> <dest_dir> ..now wait up a sec | 22:01 |
| zertyui` | incase if u what to reboot the server how do u do ? | 22:01 |
| tiyowan | dewente: The linux documentation project has some good resources that you might find interesting. | 22:01 |
| zertyui` | incase if u what to reboot that web server how do u do ? | 22:01 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, depends on if you have the rights to do that | 22:01 |
| jedi06 | onetinsoldier wait up a sec? | 22:01 |
| XFCEntral | zertyui`: you can connect to your ubuntu server and run commands using SSH | 22:01 |
| onetinsoldier | jedi06: do you really want this dir into a destination dir? or just the files form the first dir into the destination dir? | 22:01 |
| mavsman | zertyui` thanks big dog | 22:01 |
| onetinsoldier | from* | 22:02 |
| zertyui` | i want to use as i use my home linux pc | 22:02 |
| jedi06 | ontinsoldier the whole dir is fine | 22:02 |
| Halitech | XFCEntral, depends on if SSH is enabled on the server | 22:02 |
| dewente | tiyowan, where is it / | 22:02 |
| XFCEntral | Halitech: i would ;) | 22:02 |
| onetinsoldier | jedi06: ok, the what i showed you should be fine... use cp -Rv to see ouput during the command if you want | 22:02 |
| Halitech | XFCEntral, if it was my server at home I would as well but most hosting companies disable SSH | 22:03 |
| ChrisBookwoodEee | what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? I get the error "*** is not a block device" | 22:03 |
| tiyowan | dewente: tldp.org | 22:03 |
| Tr0gd0r2 | what command can I type from ssh to find out my drive size? | 22:03 |
| mn | I used cp -r /mnt/disk /mnt/disk1 and edited GRUB's menu.lst, mtab, and fstab to make the new partition (/mnt/disk1 device is /dev/sda3) kind of work. I can GUI log in (i used chown -R username:root / to enable this) but it logs me in as username@localhost, so I can't use anything administrative. When I try to sudo whatever it says it must be setuid. What can I do to correct this? | 22:03 |
| zertyui` | sorry | 22:03 |
| RabidWeezle | is it possible to upgrade from gutsy to intrepid? | 22:03 |
| RabidWeezle | or do I need to jump to hardy first? | 22:03 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, then you need to download and install the server edition and make sure you enable SSH | 22:03 |
| Flannel | ishan: RabidWeezle you'll have to upgrade to Hardy first, yeah | 22:03 |
| XFCEntral | Halitech: he wants to use it like his linux box at home, apparently. in this case im sure it isnt headless, so System > Reboot or the equivalent should do fine... | 22:03 |
| RabidWeezle | ty | 22:03 |
| zertyui` | is there any provider who give that facility N | 22:04 |
| gorgapor | why is there no installation candidate for python3-profiler? | 22:04 |
| dewente | tiyowan, i am in there... now what link ? | 22:04 |
| hischild | mn, the chown command screwed it all up for you. There's no way to fix this, as you've broken pretty much all the permissions on the files. | 22:04 |
| zertyui` | ? | 22:04 |
| zertyui` | install ubuntu on web server ? | 22:04 |
| ChrisBookwoodEee | what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? I get the error "*** is not a block device" | 22:04 |
| Halitech | XFCEntral, yeah, makes it hard to know what they want when they don't ask a single question that has all the info and makes sense | 22:04 |
| KenBW22 | does anyone know a way i can get Hardy's theme on Intrepid? | 22:04 |
| ishan_ | Halitech, sorry i lost connection..anything that you could do?? | 22:04 |
| XFCEntral | Halitech: right, so far im a bit confused.. | 22:05 |
| mn | hischild: before i did this, I couldn't log in at all! it said nothing could write to $HOME. Do I need to format the drive and re-cp everything? | 22:05 |
| tiyowan | dewente: The entire site, mate. You need to do a lot of reading, and get experience. Can't become a system administrator in a day. :) | 22:05 |
| XFCEntral | zertyui`: would you like to install Ubuntu on a web server you already use? | 22:05 |
| mn | s/drive/partition | 22:05 |
| mn | s/partition/drive* | 22:05 |
| hischild | mn, that for starters. You should copy with the maintain file permissions. | 22:05 |
| zelda | hey whats the red power button called in ubuntu? | 22:05 |
| ChrisBookwoodEee | what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? ave tried with "defaults" but I get the error "*** is not a block device" | 22:05 |
| Halitech | ishan_, <Flannel> ishan: It'd be better to just make another user alias for all of your users (since there are 'users' on your machine that aren't actually users, you probably won't want them being able to disconnect you) | 22:06 |
| dewente | tiyowan, i know that. therefore, linux jobs are well paid | 22:06 |
| hischild | mn, use cp --preserve | 22:06 |
| Halitech | XFCEntral, you aren't alone there | 22:06 |
| zertyui` | no i simply want to use a web server which is running 24 hours | 22:06 |
| odder | the question has been surely asked in here, but: does anybody have any idea how to fix the broken flashplugin-nonfree package? | 22:06 |
| zertyui` | where i want to install ubuntu on it | 22:06 |
| zertyui` | is it possible | 22:06 |
| zertyui` | ? | 22:06 |

| MatBoy | mhh, I have serious issues with LVM, wierd, root fails... seems to be a bug again :S | 22:06 |
| Flannel | zertyui`: You mean a server someone else owns? | 22:07 |
| zertyui` | if yes is it possible to use that web server as we can use a home pc | 22:07 |
| ishan_ | ok. | 22:07 |
| zertyui` | installling software | 22:07 |
| mn | hischild: ok, I will try that. I have to reboot onto a liveCD because I am on the partition I want to copy, but I will be back after this is done. | 22:07 |
| ishan_ | but still i am not able to solve my problem.. | 22:07 |
| Flannel | zertyui`: Yes. However if someone else owns it, you likely won't be able to do that. | 22:07 |
| zertyui` | reboot the pc etc | 22:07 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: what version and architecture of ubuntu are you running? | 22:07 |
| Halitech | zertyui`, google search for LAMP + Ubuntu | 22:07 |
| ChrisBookwoodEee | what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? have tried with "defaults" but I get the error "*** is not a block device" | 22:07 |
| ishan_ | is there anybody who has some experience editing the sudoers file | 22:07 |
| jack-- | hi. http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/i386/libsqlite0-dev/download doesn't work - all mirrors give me a 404. what should i do now? | 22:07 |

| tiyowan | jack--: Feisty is EOL. | 22:08 |
| allsystemsarego | !lamp | zertyui` | 22:08 |
| ubottu | zertyui`: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 22:08 |

| XFCEntral | zelda: what the red button is called? you mean the name of the image file? | 22:08 |
| jack-- | tiyowan: i know. still using it anyway. old computer. | 22:08 |
| zelda | I mean the red button in the top right you click to shutdown the computer or log off? | 22:08 |
| Flannel | ishan_: Yes? Yes, you don't mind having an alias in sudoers listing people you want to use pon/poff? | 22:08 |

| Halitech | zelda, the log off button? | 22:09 |
| tiyowan | zelda: You need to point your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com I think. Google for info. | 22:09 |
| Org-Mode | MatBoy: you make it sound as if thats a bad thing | 22:09 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: i can get that fixed... first and most important thing though, is tomake sure you do not have any kind or version of flash hanging around on your system | 22:09 |

| Flannel | jack--: feisty is EOL and you really should upgrade. You can use old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu in order to get up-to-date for the upgrade to gutsy | 22:10 |
| jack-- | ok, thx. :) | 22:10 |
| MatBoy | Org-Mode: yes it seems so, I thought it didn't had any issues, but it has on LVM for sure | 22:10 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: ok ifconfig is giving me a valid IP shows " inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.255" That mask looks funny to me. | 22:10 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: hm. okay, it think I've found the answer. As the broken package version is 10.0.15.3ubuntu1~intrepid1 | 22:10 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: let me know if you need help uninstalling any type of flash you might have on there | 22:10 |
| odder | ... I think installing a previus version would fix the problem? | 22:11 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, hmmmm, yeah usually it would be 255.255.255.0 ... although your bcast looks odd as well to me | 22:11 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: thats ok. the bcast is correct | 22:11 |
| zelda | How do I add that button back to the panel. | 22:11 |
| zelda | ? | 22:11 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, ok, if you say so :) | 22:11 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: That mask is odd. | 22:12 |
| Halitech | zelda, right click the panel and add button then go through the list to find the log off button | 22:12 |

| Slart | thomas_: this is a support channel for ubuntu | 22:14 |
| XFCEntral | thomas_: not a place to advertise | 22:14 |
| thomas_ | i know, its forbidden why i do ? | 22:14 |
| Slart | thomas_: so either you ask or answer questions about ubuntu support | 22:14 |
| thomas_ | ah ok, sorry | 22:14 |
| Halitech | Jason_WT, you need to make it exacutable then depending on what it is, sudo sh nameoffile.run or maybe not with sudo | 22:14 |
| Luomeng | Really nooby question here, but how come ubuntu won't let me set up a wired internet? | 22:14 |
| Luomeng | i pluged in the ethernet cable | 22:15 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: tiyowan: my installed ubuntu for instance shows "inet addr: 192.168.1.11 Bcast: 192.168.5.255 Mask: 255.255.254.0 | 22:15 |

| Luomeng | and it wont connect | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | Luomeng: do you get errors? | 22:15 |
| Luomeng | no | 22:15 |
| Luomeng | it just says that it won't connect | 22:15 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Now that subnet mark is definitely wrong. | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | Luomeng: does it try to connect? | 22:15 |
| tiyowan | er, mask. | 22:15 |
| Luomeng | yes | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | Luomeng: and what happens? | 22:15 |
| Jason_WT | BCM43: thanks, i typed \ instead of / | 22:15 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: thats the auto-configure :) | 22:15 |
| Luomeng | and it tries to get an ip address for like 2 minutes | 22:16 |
| BCM43 | Jason_WT: lol | 22:16 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, its not wireless is it? | 22:16 |
| hischild | tiyowan, why is that mask wrong? | 22:16 |
| Luomeng | and then it just kinda says it can't connect | 22:16 |
| Jeruvy | Halitech: no pure copper :) | 22:16 |
| === stevo_ is now known as stevo_christmas | ||
| Jason_WT | is there also a way to run if as sudo from the gile manager think, like mycomp, like run as root | 22:16 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: hello? | 22:16 |
| Halitech | Jeruvy, ok, blows that idea | 22:16 |
| BCM43 | Luomeng: have you tried another cable? | 22:16 |
| Luomeng | um no | 22:16 |
| Luomeng | only 1 | 22:16 |
| tiyowan | Hmm. | 22:16 |
| Luomeng | do you think it could be the cable's fault? | 22:17 |
| archan89 | Jason_WT, "gksudo nautilus" that should open the file manager in su mode | 22:17 |
| BCM43 | Luomeng: it might be that. Other than that, it could be whatever you are plugging it into, or it could be ubuntu. | 22:17 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: whats funny is that it works. | 22:17 |
| nibsa1242 | anyone know if there is a way to copy the config for pulse from a working installation to an instillation that isn't working? | 22:17 |
| Luomeng | okay | 22:17 |
| Flannel | Jason_WT: be extremely careful with that, and close it as soon as your done. What are you trying to do that you need super user in a GUI? | 22:17 |
| Luomeng | what happens if its ubuntu | 22:17 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Could you provide some details on your network please? How many machines? LAN? | 22:17 |
| BCM43 | Luomeng: is another computer connected to it? | 22:17 |
| Luomeng | yes | 22:18 |
| BCM43 | the internet that is | 22:18 |

| Jeruvy | tiyowan: the network has 3 subnets, 1.x 2.x and 3.x Router configured for /20 and bcast is ok at 5.255, numerous machines many os's etc. The problem affects livecd's only. | 22:19 |
| ito | can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in ubuntu | 22:19 |
| Flannel | Jason_WT: right, but what sort of administrative activities are you doing? | 22:19 |
| perhamlinux | I wanna buy a usb wireless modem. what brand / chip you suggest that works best and straightforward with linux? | 22:19 |
| BCM43 | Jason_WT: use gksudo | 22:19 |
| hischild | Jeruvy, from what i'm reading so far from your problem, your DHCP server almost seems to hand out wrong data to one of your subnets. | 22:19 |
| BCM43 | perhamlinux: DON'T get a broadcom | 22:20 |
| archan89 | Anyone in here got any experiences with RAlink 2870 chipsets? | 22:20 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: hello and merry christmas! | 22:20 |
| Jason_WT | i was installing the vbox additions and they need to be ran as root | 22:20 |
| perhamlinux | BCM43: anything else works fine? | 22:20 |
| BCM43 | Jason_WT: use gksudo | 22:20 |
| Jeruvy | hischild: I would have assumed that also, except it does get a valid IP | 22:20 |
| BCM43 | perhamlinux: no, but stay away from that one. Unless you want to spend days getting it to work. | 22:20 |
| darkfuzion | onetinsoldier halppy holiday and Merry Christmas to you | 22:20 |
| hischild | Jeruvy, i'm not saying it hands out a wrong IP. Type route and check if the default GW is correct. | 22:20 |
| onetinsoldier | darkfuzion: thanks :-) | 22:21 |
| Jeruvy | hischild: I added the route manually, otherwise it is non-existant | 22:21 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Hmm...my instinct would be to check the router config. | 22:21 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: sorry, something odd happened with my ubuntu (i'm sshing into here through an other computer) | 22:21 |
| hischild | Jeruvy, please, could you check if it is correct? | 22:21 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: ok | 22:21 |
| perhamlinux | BCM43: thanks. what brand works out of the box? | 22:21 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: the output is (null) -- nothing | 22:21 |
| Jeruvy | hischild: will do | 22:21 |
| archan89 | Anyone that had any idea on how to make a Dlink DWA140 functional? | 22:21 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: ok, how about dpkg -l '*flash*' | awk '/^iF/ {print $2}' ...? ..and dangit, i'm being called away for a minute. | 22:22 |
| hischild | Jeruvy, From my point of view, it seems logical to check every step of the way. route is one of these. | 22:22 |
| bluntz | fixed myself -grab display was not broken- it was stolen by motion I think,after killing it TV capture works again!!!!wooooooohooooooo!!!!! | 22:23 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: still nothing, i've got no flashplugin installed in here, removed it a couple of minutes ago | 22:23 |
| tiyowan | hischild: Mask for 192.168.1.x, 2.x, 3.x, ought to be 255.255.255.0 right? | 22:23 |
| Jeruvy | hischild: I'm in agreement there. Ok, router config looks ok. dhcp client DNS is pointing to the gateway | 22:23 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: looks like the intrepid package is broken, as it was working till I've updated it | 22:23 |
| XFCEntral | archan89: ive found the driver i think you will need for your Dlink DWA-140, finding more out | 22:23 |
| hischild | tiyowan, yes | 22:23 |
| haffi | hi | 22:24 |
| archan89 | Oh, thanks XFCEntral. | 22:24 |
| KenBW22 | is there a way to export a theme? | 22:24 |
| ito | can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in intrepid ibex? | 22:24 |
| hischild | Jeruvy, route is a client command, giving you a default gateway and other info. Not the router, that would have been a step bit ahead. | 22:24 |
| bluntz | HOHOHO merry Xmas to ME!!!!!! | 22:24 |
| hischild | Jeruvy, if i sum your problem up, you can't reach internet on the liveCD, correct? | 22:24 |
| BCM43 | perhamlinux: d-link dwl-g12 seems good | 22:25 |
| imaginativeone | how do I adjust the audio? | 22:25 |

| odder | onetinsoldier: definitely. I've installed it about two weeks ago and flash broke; I was so lucky to have an older version in /var/cache/apt/ and installed it; however, today I don't have it anymore and flash no longer works | 22:28 |

| brujo | you can chose the Card | 22:29 |
| kolby | brujo, I'll look there | 22:29 |
| archan89 | XFCEntral, the driver you found, was it the RA2870 drivers? | 22:29 |
| brujo | kolby, tellme if was useful | 22:30 |
| XFCEntral | archan89: yes, i came across that myself | 22:30 |
| onetinsoldier | bluntz: it should help me determine if he actually has a packages who's install is 'broken' | 22:30 |
| bluntz | ahh | 22:30 |
| archan89 | Well, it does detect it now, the network manager just won't consider it as a network card.. | 22:30 |
| bluntz | slik | 22:30 |
| kolby | brujo, my problem still exists | 22:30 |
| brujo | kolby, what problem? | 22:31 |
| kolby | brujo, I think that should have worked though... | 22:31 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: ok, flash works | 22:31 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: just a question: what does the -f do? | 22:31 |
| kolby | brujo, defferent applications use different soundcards | 22:31 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: you sure? ok -f ...means 'fix' | 22:31 |

| odder | onetinsoldier: maybe I'll fill a bug report, then? :-) | 22:38 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: or maybe you found a new bug | 22:38 |
| MilesCom | darkfuzion you're not being nice this issue is over, if you don't have something relevant to say don't say anything | 22:38 |
| Flannel | IdleOne: 'which java' will give you the path. I don't know if itd be that, or /usr/bin/java, but which will let you know | 22:38 |
| nickrud | darkfuzion, you can discuss channel policy regarding profanity in #ubuntu-ops if you like | 22:39 |
| onetinsoldier | odder: the installer scripts are known as 'preinst' scripts | 22:39 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: lol I realised that after I explained. thanks | 22:39 |
| odder | onetinsoldier: ok, i'll look the launchpad over; maybe anyone else got the same problem. Anyway, thanks for the help :-) | 22:39 |

| Rey | Hi all!! | 22:42 |
| Rey | anyone from Brazil? | 22:42 |
| Flannel | !br | Rey | 22:42 |
| ubottu | Rey: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 22:42 |
| Flannel | alchemist22: Please pastebin your sudoers, and I'll take a look | 22:42 |
| Rey | I dont need help yet! | 22:43 |
| alchemist22 | Flannel, sure..although is pretty default | 22:43 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| bluntz | anyone know why a shell script will work when ran in place but fail in cron? | 22:43 |
| cdavis | dovecot isn't starting at boot, what do I have to do to change that? | 22:43 |
| === Out_Cold is now known as Mr_Fixit | ||
| cdavis | Seems like a dpkg-reconfigure or something liek that? | 22:43 |
| === Mr_Fixit is now known as Out_Cold | ||
| XFCEntral | bluntz: permissions issue perhaps? also check that script is placed where cron can execute it. two things i can think of | 22:44 |
| Rey | Why the linux comand "shutdown" dont turn the machine off like the same comand in windows do? | 22:44 |
| alchemist22 | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/92443/ | 22:44 |
| MilesCom | rey: dos is not unix | 22:45 |
| Halitech | Rey, you need to give it a time | 22:45 |
| cdavis | Rey, because windows isn't linux? | 22:45 |
| darkfuzion | linux and windows have different commands | 22:45 |
| Rey | i know | 22:45 |
| cdavis | Rey, shutdown -h | 22:45 |
| bluntz | mv to crons path,good id | 22:45 |
| NicEXE | GNOME does not start... How can I disable compiz using Gnome terminal? (metacity --replace does not work for me... is only a temporary setting that goes to default right after I logout) | 22:45 |
| Rey | i know that comand | 22:45 |
| cdavis | Rey, what is your question then | 22:46 |
| hischild | Rey, shutdown -h <time> | 22:46 |
| Flannel | alchemist22: put the user alias thing up where it says user alias. And try making PPPOE all capitalized. Um, unfortunately my time is up. However the sudoers man page is extremely extensive (with examples), you maybe able to find what you're looking for there. | 22:46 |
| nickrud | cdavis, did you set it up? /usr/share/doc/dovecot* (one of those doc dirs) has a couple things you need to setup | 22:46 |
| bluntz | Im thinkin absolute paths in script prolly need set too | 22:46 |
| XFCEntral | bluntz: that could help | 22:46 |
| bluntz | lemmee c | 22:46 |
| Rey | this comand in linux just shutdown the system but the machine still runing | 22:46 |
| cdavis | nickrud, yes it runs fine but after a reboot I had to /etc/init.d/dovecot start | 22:46 |
| Flannel | alchemist22: Ah yeah, it may be the PPPoE thing, I think names need to be all capitalized | 22:46 |
| onetinsoldier | cdavis: i don't know much about dovecot, but is the script in /etc/init.d there? ls /etc/init.d/dovecot | 22:46 |
| onetinsoldier | cdavis: ok. i see you got it | 22:47 |
| MilesCom | rey, you mean it's supended or hibernating | 22:47 |
| nickrud | cdavis, check /etc/rc2.d/* , see if dovecot is listed. | 22:47 |
| alchemist22 | Flannel, ok...thanx for all the help... | 22:47 |
| Rey | in window otherwise the machine is really turned of | 22:47 |
| Jeaton | do most phones use fat32? | 22:47 |
| alchemist22 | Flannel, lets hope it works... | 22:47 |
| Halitech | Rey, maybe it doesn't know to actually power off because of acpi or some other setting | 22:47 |
| Rey | suspend | 22:47 |
| nickrud | cdavis, stepping away for a few minutes, be back | 22:48 |
| cdavis | nickrud, yes it is there, that means it failed to start for some reason, I will check my logs. thanks | 22:48 |
| MilesCom | rey, can your system shutdown when you use the interface? | 22:48 |
| kolby | I want to remove I module I'm using right now. What file do I edit to make sure it's not loaded when I reboot? | 22:49 |
| alchemist22 | Flannel, u were right...it worked...all i needed to do was to capitalize PPPOE.. | 22:49 |
| onetinsoldier | cdavis: the 'update-rc.d' command might help you out. look at the man page for it | 22:49 |
| hischild | kolby, you add it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 22:49 |
| blaster | hi all | 22:49 |

| blaster | anyone usig the acer aspire one? | 22:49 |
| NicEXE | GNOME does not start... How can I disable compiz using Gnome terminal? (metacity --replace does not work for me... is only a temporary setting that goes to default right after I logout) | 22:50 |
| Rey | maybe in next kernel the shutdown comand work like waited | 22:50 |
| MilesCom | blaster, the aspire one has a good config manual on the ubuntu wiki, if something isn't working | 22:50 |
| onetinsoldier | tstaerk: ubuntu does have chkconfig. you just need to install the chkconfig package | 22:51 |
| onetinsoldier | tstaerk: also see the 'update-rc.d' command | 22:52 |
| Reformer81 | Does anyone know if it is possible to "Copy [a] track to collection" in Amarok 2? This was simple in Amarok 1, but seems missing in 2.0. | 22:52 |

| testestes | mib_z8lrq4 : what kind of external drive you have | 22:53 |
| testestes | the format | 22:54 |
| NicEXE | is there any configuration file for compiz? | 22:54 |
| nibsa1242 | Pulse/ audio will run just fine from the live cd or from a fresh Ibex install... but if I let the system update, I get no sound. Is there a way to copy the config to the live session to my existing install? | 22:54 |

| x-ip | Oh hai samferry! | 22:55 |
| * x-ip Waves at samferry | 22:55 | |
| tiyowan | nibsa1242: Try going to System -> Admin -> Sounds and changing to ALSA? | 22:55 |
| testestes | so you have to format it first, i think | 22:55 |
| x-ip | Oh hai BoomShaka! | 22:55 |

| nibsa1242 | tiyowan: I've done that. I suspect its a kernel issue, but I don't know for sure... Other people with the same 'card' (its a laptop) don't have the issue, but other people with Gateways and the same 'card' do have the issue. | 22:56 |

| jack-- | stupid question: for upgrading from feisty to gutsy, is it sufficient to dl the gutsy-i386 iso? does that have an "upgrade" option? | 22:57 |

| unop | nickrud, are you capable of introspection? :) | 22:57 |
| BoomShaka | so i just dloaded jets_demo.run (some game demo) how exactly do i run this fiule? i did a chmod u+x but i still cant execute it.... any suggestions? | 22:57 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | can smeone please help me, my external drive is read only, I have to right access!! | 22:57 |
| Raza11 | Hey | 22:57 |
| nibsa1242 | tiyowan: it works fine w/t the live session and after a clean install... but If I let the system update I get no sound | 22:57 |
| tiyowan | nickrud: :) | 22:57 |
| * basileus is away: Bimbling | 22:57 | |
| nickrud | unop, no | 22:57 |
| zleap | did you put ./ before the file name when running | 22:57 |
| zleap | or what error are you getting exactly | 22:58 |
| dnyy | I .deb for linux mint will work just as fine for ubuntu, right? | 22:58 |
| BoomShaka | nope, let me try that | 22:58 |
| napnap | 1287 users ? no, this chan is never empty ... <: | 22:58 |
| unop | dnyy, there's no guarantee of that | 22:58 |
| tiyowan | nibsa1242: There's a really good thread on the forums related to pulseaudio...hang on. | 22:58 |
| nickrud | dnyy, possibly, possibly not. | 22:58 |
| BoomShaka | zleap, thanks seems to be running now | 22:58 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | dnyy: linux mint is amazing | 22:58 |
| zleap | np | 22:58 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: hey, what format is your drive, and how are you trying to mount it ? | 22:58 |
| dnyy | unop: hrm, well the linux mint forums is the only place i can find an urban terror deb. I'm not sure if it's made strictly for mint or not. :/ | 22:58 |
| unop | dnyy, the packages on mint could be named differently - and satisifying them on ubuntu could prove difficult | 22:58 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: hey! the drive is unallocated formatt and I just plugged it into the computer and let it do the mounting | 22:59 |
| gverig | for gnome environment, what's the most standard (if there is such a thing) way to work with openGL/keyboard/etc? glut/sdl/other? | 22:59 |
| dnyy | unop: ah, well back to searching then. thanks. :p | 22:59 |
| jack-- | stupid question: for upgrading from feisty to gutsy, is it sufficient to dl the gutsy-i386 iso? does that have an "upgrade" option? | 22:59 |
| unop | dnyy, you could always try manually installing the package to see if it works - that won't cause you damage | 22:59 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: so it's an unformatted drive? | 22:59 |
| ardchoille | dnyy: what are you searching for? | 22:59 |
| dnyy | ardchoille: The new Urban Terror, 4.1 | 22:59 |
| zleap | yay i still got about 1 gb of my usage allowance left | 22:59 |

| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: I used it as a backup drive for my mac | 23:00 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: i can take a screen for you if you want | 23:01 |
| MatBoy | DasEi: ? | 23:01 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: ok, well it's likely its in osx format, or fat32 or something like that | 23:01 |
| DasEi | MatBoy:didn#t you search that trigger ? | 23:01 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: maybe but gparted just says unallocated | 23:01 |
| nibsa1242 | tiyowan: thanks, I've followed one of those threads, but it didn't work. Maybe this is another one... | 23:02 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: if you type 'mount' at the command line, you should see the drive, and the format it is mounted as | 23:02 |
| MatBoy | DasEi: nope, I wanted to see the topic... | 23:02 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: can you access your files on there in read only mode? | 23:02 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | http://mibbit.com/pb/BTHPnw un_dave the drive is read only, I can only view the files on the drive | 23:03 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | also that paste is the result from the mount command un_dave | 23:03 |
| tiyowan | nibsa1242: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 | 23:03 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: ok, that helps. you can see the last line of that? it tells youu that 'disk' is mounted as hfsplus. that's probably your drive. hfsplus is an osx format. | 23:04 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: alrighty, but what can i do with this? | 23:05 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: now, i'm not sure if your read only issue is a mount issue, or permissions. if you use your root account, can you copy anything onto the drive? | 23:05 |
| nibsa1242 | tiyowan: yeah that is the guide I found; I followed it and it still doesn't work | 23:06 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: well, I was wondering if I could create a new partition on the drive to store my data in while keeping the old data safe, is this possible? | 23:06 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: or is creating a new partition not even nessesary? | 23:07 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | also, un_dave, if I run sudo or something in the term, i will be granted root access? | 23:07 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: you mite want to try something like 'su cp myfile.something /media/disk' with out the quotes. | 23:07 |
| nibbler | i need a webcam with full ubuntu/linux/skype support. any recommendations? | 23:07 |
| tiyowan | nibsa1242: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885437 <- Try this? | 23:07 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: you will, but only for that command | 23:07 |

| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 23:07 |
| nickrud | nibbler, ^^ | 23:08 |
| nibbler | great thanks nickrud | 23:08 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: replace myfile.something with a file you have in your current folder. | 23:08 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: well i was planning on transfering my music there and playing it with rythymbox, so as the command you gave might be able to help move the files, rythymbox won't have access to play them? | 23:09 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: if you can write to the hfs partition, creating a new partition is unnessisary. if you have to make a new partition, you'll prob need to resize the current one. | 23:09 |
| nibsa1242 | tiyowan: ok, trying that I'll let you know how it goes | 23:09 |
| crow_ | a friend of mine has ubuntu installed, but she can't get wireless internet on it. it says some drivers are missing.

| alekhine36 | skype suddenly fails to detect webcam and refuses to play sound as well | 23:11 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: if we sort out the permissions issues, it should be fine. | 23:11 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: so i am going to move the files now, right? | 23:11 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: could you post the pastebin link of this command 'ls /media/disk -al' ? | 23:11 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | with su cp myfile.something /media/disk un_dave | 23:11 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: no. i was just hoping to get you to test if you could write to the drive with your root account. | 23:12 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | http://mibbit.com/pb/Ui3fu3 un_dave | 23:12 |
| alekhine36 | i am fed up with this webcam issue. | 23:13 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: ok, i think i see the issue. see the references to 99, and root in there? that means your current user probably doesnt have permissions to write to any of that. | 23:14 |
| quentusrex_ | Hello, I have ubuntu hardy. I have my projector hooked up through hdmi. Every 5 seconds the screen with twitch. How do I get more info on the problem? It doens't happen all the time, just starts randomly when I wake up the box. | 23:14 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | so what's the prognosis un_dave | 23:14 |
| e-head | Hey, I just plugged a USB drive into my system. Is something magical supposed to happen? | 23:15 |
| un_dave | two things to try. please run this command. 'sudo nautilus' | 23:15 |
| Leon | I've got an issue with LinuxMint, wich is based on Ubuntu. Today I installed LinuxMint over Ubuntu and although sleep always worked fine in Intrepid, it does not work in LinuxMint. On resume, the screen stays blank and nothing happens. Any ideas why that could be happening? | 23:15 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | quentusrex_: Is it just the projector screen that does it, and does it happen in the BIOS screen? | 23:15 |
| tiyowan | !mint > Leon | 23:15 |
| ubottu | Leon, please see my private message | 23:15 |
| nickrud | Leon, I'm sure mint has a support system - this isn't it | 23:16 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: that should open you a copy of nautilus with root access. please be carefull in there, because you have full access to your files, and system files, and can break things! | 23:16 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | Leon: i think you need to check your power settings | 23:16 |
| tiyowan | nickrud: Subtle. :) | 23:16 |
| onetinsoldier | e-head: not really. you'll probably need to mount the usb stick, as root, with the mount command first | 23:16 |
| alekhine36 | media/video0 not present | 23:16 |

| eeboy | I am trying to access a remote machine via VNC but it's sitting at the GDE login prompt. Can I "log in" via the command line if I have a secure shell connection with that same box? | 23:20 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: i can view the files, but when I rigt click to create a new folder, "Create new folder" is grayed out, but there is an option that says to "open as root" | 23:20 |
| brohken | hey guys | 23:20 |
| onetinsoldier | e-head: yes. i believe it would auto-mount if the usb stick is added to your /etc/fstab file | 23:20 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: and all this is happening in natalius as a root | 23:20 |
| e-head | ahh. right. | 23:20 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Hmm....try setting a static ip? | 23:20 |
| e-head | how do I figure out what the device name is? | 23:20 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: that's odd. i dont have an option like that! and you should already be root! | 23:20 |
| e-head | would something pop up in one of the log files? Kernel log maybe. | 23:20 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: i am root, this is odd :( | 23:21 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: hehe where the heck is it getting this IP from :) | 23:21 |
| onetinsoldier | e-head: that means you would need to manually edit the /etc/fstab file | 23:21 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: ok. skip that. close nautilus. | 23:21 |
| victor1 | i just installed ubuntu, and my screen resolution is stuck at 640x480 | 23:21 |
| quentusrex_ | Hello, I have ubuntu hardy. I have my projector hooked up through hdmi. Every 5 seconds the screen with twitch. How do I get more info on the problem? It doens't happen all the time, just starts randomly when I wake up the box. | 23:21 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: try this 'sudo mkdir /media/disk/MyFolder' | 23:21 |
| victor1 | can anyone please help | 23:21 |
| quentusrex_ | How do I restart X from the command line? | 23:21 |
| adam7 | quentusrex_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 23:21 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: !!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:21 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: I wrote earlier on...my instinct points to your router config, but it's a bit difficult to diagnose this problem from over here. :) | 23:21 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: ? what | 23:21 |
| onetinsoldier | quentusrex_: or invoke-rc.d gdm restart | 23:21 |
| quentusrex_ | adam7, onetinsoldier, will that restart my other applications or just X? | 23:22 |
| brohken | is there a script i can run to disable bluetooth on startup? on my laptop it just starts automatically. i can easily disable it by Fn+F5 | 23:22 |
| brohken | and i dont want to disable it altogether either | 23:22 |
| adam7 | quentusrex_: it will restart all GUI apps | 23:22 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: well for giggles I changed the router subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, that was the only change | 23:22 |
| alekhine36 | ls: cannot access /dev/video: No such file or directory | 23:22 |
| brohken | thats what im doing now | 23:22 |
| adam7 | quentusrex_: you can't restart X without restarting everything that is running in X | 23:22 |
| quentusrex_ | adam7, what about transcoding applications? | 23:22 |
| Slart | brohken: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop might do it | 23:22 |
| onetinsoldier | quentusrex_: everything | 23:22 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: I right clicked, hit properties, went to the premissions tab and i can change the premissions from root to "jordan" which is me | 23:22 |
| adam7 | quentusrex_: if it's running in X, it will restart | 23:22 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 <- To set static ip/gateway/mask. Backup your /etc/network/interfaces first, though. | 23:22 |
| adam7 | quentusrex_: next time use screen to run your transcoding stuff | 23:22 |
| e-head | onetinsoldier: you have any idea what the device name would be? | 23:22 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: what makes no sense is why does this problem occur ONLY with LIVECD's? | 23:23 |
| e-head | for the purposes of mounting. | 23:23 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: that's great! that should give you access without being root | 23:23 |
| Slart | brohken: that will require a password though.. you could change that in the sudoers file if you really want to | 23:23 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: thats against our policy, the router handles all IP's. the livecd's cannot have static IP's | 23:23 |
| onetinsoldier | e-head: try and see if you can find it with the following command... fdisk -l | 23:23 |
| Slart | brohken: or find something that is run as root already.. perhaps one of the rc.d scripts | 23:23 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: The installed Ubuntu versions work fine? | 23:23 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | wait, I selected my name un_dave and it says the device is a read only file system.... | 23:24 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: fine no issues | 23:24 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Clean installs without updates? Or with updates? | 23:24 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: well most of the machines have been running a while | 23:25 |
| nolimitsoya | any experiences with nordic telenor 3g broadband? im contemplating ubuntu for a friends machine, and would like to know beforehand if its doable | 23:25 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Maybe the LiveCD is fubar'ed on your particular NIC. You using same-brand NICs on all the boxes? Or mix of different vendors? | 23:25 |
| MatBoy | I already had the idea, but it's true that the 8.04 installer is faster than the 8.10 one | 23:25 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: laptops, desktops, servers, I've tried almost every box at my disposal, no luck. | 23:26 |
| mon^rch | so what happens when I recieve a death threat from somebody on this server? | 23:26 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | o_O | 23:26 |
| adam7 | mon^rch: find a freenode staffer | 23:26 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Hmm. Maybe the LiveCDs fubar'ed with your particular router. Highly unlikely though. :) | 23:26 |
| onetinsoldier | mon^rch: i would try the #freenode channel | 23:26 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: well it's not out of the ballpark since we do have a twin-wan router | 23:27 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: sorry. lost connection there for a bit. did you get it working? | 23:27 |
| mib_8oomfc | mkdir -p is giving "No such file or directory"; but this only happens for mkdir a/b where a doesn't exist. Why would it happen with -p? | 23:28 |
| eternaljoy | un_dave, hello | 23:28 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: I wish | 23:28 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Interesting problem though. Normally people's connects work fine off the LiveCD, then fubar. :) But it's the reverse in your case. I'd google for your brand of router; then maybe file a bug report. | 23:28 |
| smokeymirror | hey guys | 23:28 |
| un_dave | hello eternaljoy | 23:28 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: well, I found that the partition on the drive is read only, so no matter the premissions, the drive won't let me do anything, so I need to create a new parititon | 23:29 |
| Jeruvy | tiyowan: ya I'm thinking the same thing, it's certainly not specific to ubuntu tho. I've tested now with 3 other livecd distros and the same problem | 23:29 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: I booted up gparted with root and I am trying to figure out how to resize and create a new partition | 23:29 |
| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: damn. ok. just let me do some quick research on the hfs thing. | 23:29 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | un_dave: you are awesome btw | 23:29 |
| alekhine36 | i dont understand how /dev/video is suddenly missing. my webcam was working till yesterday evening. could this be because of some new installation? | 23:29 |
| tiyowan | Jeruvy: Oh? Well, if you can reproduce the bug on different distros then perhaps it's a kernel issue. | 23:29 |

| un_dave | mib_z8lrq4: you shouldnt have to create a new parttition, because ubuntu can write to hfs partitions fine. it just looks like it's having some issue mounting the drive. it could be dirty, which means it needs a filesystem check command. | 23:32 |

| eternaljoy | onetinsoldier, i followed your steps and it installed and worked.. however, due to old laptop, it was really slow since upgrading to 8.10... so i installed 8.04 from fresh and now laptop runs quick again! sorry to have wasted your time, you were really helpful and patient | 23:36 |
| KenBW22 | XFCEntral: as far as i can tell, they're all just audio, not video streams | 23:36 |
