| Ademan | KenBW22: well what happened? did everything turn ugly? like grey and boxy? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| MiniF | is there a dell mini9 support channel so site? | 00:00 |
| MiniF | Ademan: sorry, what resources? | 00:00 |
| Slart | cehr: the earlier ubuntu version had some problems upgrading.. these days I think upgrading or reinstalling will be about the same | 00:00 |
| KenBW22 | Ademan: iirc yea | 00:00 |
| Ademan | MiniF: oh i meant like web tutorials and stuff | 00:00 |
| MiniF | i dunno | 00:01 |
| Ademan | KenBW22: then I think the issue is with your theme ENGINE rather than the theme itself. (theme engines are chunks of code, themes are basically parameters for that code like color and such) | 00:01 |
| MiniF | i can only find review sites and stuff | 00:02 |
| onetinsoldier | cehr: since the computer is quite old, you might not want to install intrepid. some folks are saying that intrepid runs quite slow if the machine is an old one. just an fyi | 00:02 |
| KenBW22 | Ademan: i think ill try setting a different theme, copying over /usr/share/themes/Human, restartiig then seeing if it works | 00:02 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | how do I right files to an external hdd formatted in hfs+ formatt? | 00:02 |
| MenZa | I'm trying to combine two PDFs (single-page) into one PDF with two pages. Does anyone have an idea how I can do that? | 00:03 |
| MiniF | how do I install skype? | 00:03 |
| cehr | slart: ah, okay, thanks | 00:03 |
| Ademan | KenBW22: to rectify that install the older version of gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks (don't blame me if things go awry though... although the worst that could happen is stuff looks ugly and you have to re-upgrade that package) | 00:03 |
| Slart | MenZa: there are some tools to work with pdfs.. command line stuff. hang on.. I'll see if I can remember what they are called | 00:03 |

| onetinsoldier | cehr: well, what kind of hardware is this old system? in other words, how old is it? | 00:05 |
| Slart | crashsystems: since it's a pretty small space I would go with something that does incremental backups... there are several apps that do that | 00:06 |

| andresmh | Slart, I did not update my package list. I'll run sudo apt-get update | 00:08 |

| Slart | gsingh: ok.. then use that.. see if it works | 00:09 |
| ilmob | hi I was wondering if someone could help. I tried combing through the topics with no success and I've been trying to get the wifi to work and 5 hours later I'm no closer than when I started :( even after following every step in the faq | 00:09 |
| gsingh | do i need to install samba on vista? | 00:09 |
| miaviator278 | #vista | 00:09 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | does anyone know how to mount an external hdd with the hts+ filesystem with FUSE? | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | cehr: yw, good luck | 00:10 |
| adam7 | ilmob: what card/version of Ubuntu are you using? | 00:10 |
| Slart | gsingh: samba is the linux version of windows networking.. so in vista you already have the networking stuff | 00:10 |
| ilmob | xubuntu | 00:10 |
| Leon | ilmob: what is your model, I'll see if I have more luck googling... | 00:10 |
| ilmob | but that room couldn;t help | 00:10 |
| gsingh | right | 00:10 |
| andresmh | Slart, I ran sudo apt-get update, opened Add/Remove Applications and it's still showing no apps | 00:10 |
| MiniF | hi all. I am trying to install Skype but I run into the following errors! http://pastebin.com/m6aa5bfd3 | 00:10 |
| gsingh | so i click on browse printer | 00:10 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: the kernel supports hfs+ natively | 00:10 |
| tiyowan | Slart: At least, that's what MS claims. ;) | 00:10 |
| ilmob | my model of what leon? | 00:10 |
| gsingh | it finds the vista computer | 00:10 |
| adam7 | ilmob: what card do you have, and what version number of Ubuntu? | 00:10 |
| * MatBoy hugs eternaljoy again :P | 00:10 | |
| mib_z8lrq4 | mgolisch: for some reason not for me | 00:10 |
| adam7 | ilmob: run lspci or lshw to find the card information | 00:10 |
| Slart | tiyowan: of course =) | 00:10 |
| gsingh | but it can't find the printer attached to it | 00:10 |
| MiniF | I fowllowed the first two steps in http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/enable-medibuntu-in-ubuntu-810/ | 00:10 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: but write support is not enabled on journaled volumes unless you force it | 00:10 |
| * MatBoy waits until ekinplektrum becomes purple :) | 00:11 | |
| MiniF | any help? | 00:11 |
| Slart | andresmh: do you get any errors when you updated the package list? any output at all? | 00:11 |
| cehr | adam7: hmm, ok, I guess I'll have to do more research then, heh. thanks | 00:11 |
| Leon | MiniF: Why don't you try installing it from the skype website? Maybe that medibuntu stuff is a bit unstable.... | 00:11 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: basicaly dont try to write to it, it will mostlikely break the filesystem | 00:11 |
| adam7 | cehr: I think Intrepid would probably run OK on that computer, though. | 00:11 |
| MiniF | Leon. k. let me try | 00:11 |
| Leon | ilmob: Wifi Card | 00:11 |
| adam7 | cehr: 1ghz isn't too slow | 00:11 |
| Leon | ilmob: Didn't you say that that was what wasn't working? | 00:11 |
| ilmob | ok it's a Dlink DWL 650 | 00:12 |
| Slart | gsingh: can't really help you with that.. no windows servers on my little network | 00:12 |
| garnol | Why are there so many difficutlies with the preinstalled audiodrivers? | 00:12 |
| ilmob | I don't know what version of xubuntu i'm running an old friend did it for me | 00:12 |
| MiniF | Leon: it just downloaded a .deb. what now? | 00:12 |
| adam7 | ilmob: run cat /etc/issue in a terminal | 00:12 |
| Slart | ilmob: lsb_release -a in a terminal | 00:12 |
| miaviator278 | Do you have broken packages when install anything else|MiniF | 00:12 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: works flawless here, it even automounts my osx installations partitions on y usb drive when it plug it in | 00:12 |
| Leon | MiniF: double click the deb, click install and see what happens | 00:12 |
| mn | snap. i am cleaning out my system and I am deleting files, and now nothing can open. If i try it says: "No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: :0.0 What did i delete that I shouldn't have? | 00:12 |
| atlef | MiniF: double click that file | 00:12 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: but id not try to write to it, it works sometimes but it may destroy the filesystem | 00:13 |
| garnol | Why is it possible to macs to start up that fast? And why is my ubuntu not that fast ? xD | 00:13 |
| andresmh | Slart, i did not get any errors. I did get lots of output, most of it looks ok: http://pastebin.com/d2e0f1068 | 00:13 |
| mgolisch | garnol: ? | 00:13 |
| Slart | garnol: doesn't macs use some special kind of bios? | 00:13 |
| === weilawei is now known as weilawei|away | ||
| mib_z8lrq4 | mgolisch: right, it works for you but you can't write files to it? | 00:13 |
| MiniF | it says wrong architecture 'i386' | 00:13 |
| MiniF | i cant seem to install int | 00:13 |
| MiniF | it* | 00:13 |
| ilmob | oh oh8.04 is the version | 00:13 |
| garnol | im no mac guru, but recently my brother baught one and it is really amazing how fast it can boot | 00:13 |
| adam7 | MiniF: what is "it"? | 00:13 |
| cehr | adam7: I guess I could always try, I don't know. I've heard that gnome is a bit bulky, would xubuntu be better? | 00:13 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: as i said writing is only supported for non journaling hfs+ volumes | 00:14 |
| MatBoy | ekinplektrum: great !! xinerama works damn good from the start again with 8.04 | 00:14 |
| Leon | ilmob: is that a pcmcia card? | 00:14 |
| MatBoy | thanks ! | 00:14 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | mgolisch: if you wanted to write a lot of files, you would create a new partition on the drive?? | 00:14 |
| atlef | MiniF: then you have the wrong file, get the 54bit one | 00:14 |
| ilmob | cat/etc/issue does not work | 00:14 |
| MiniF | adam7: skype | 00:14 |
| miaviator278 | 54bit | 00:14 |
| Slart | andresmh: hmm.. "Fetched 3B in 6s (0B/s)".. that doesn't seem right | 00:14 |
| garnol | Slart: is the bios responsible for the boot time? | 00:14 |
| adam7 | cehr: from my experience, Xubuntu is not the fastest distro ever created... I'd just go with a fullblown Gnome. If that's slow, you can always install xubuntu-desktop to get Xubuntu | 00:14 |
| MiniF | how do I get the 54bit one? | 00:14 |
| ilmob | Leon: no that's the version of linux the network adapter is a PCMCIA card DLINK DWL 650 | 00:14 |
| Slart | garnol: it would be a factor afaik | 00:14 |
| MiniF | i don | 00:14 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: but all default partitions created by osx are journaled so id go with somekind of share partition to exchange files between osx and linux | 00:14 |
| MiniF | i dont see a link to the 54bit file. | 00:14 |
| adam7 | MiniF: the 64bit one | 00:14 |
| garnol | Slart: afaik? | 00:15 |
| mgolisch | mib_z8lrq4: like some fat32 as both have decent support for that filesystem | 00:15 |
| Slart | garnol: as far as I know | 00:15 |
| MiniF | where is the link to that? i cant find it on the skype website | 00:15 |
| adam7 | MiniF: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 | 00:15 |
| Slart | andresmh: have you tried using another mirror? | 00:15 |
| wayne_ | how do i find root password? | 00:15 |
| adam7 | MiniF: Google gives a lot of results, you can try some of them: http://www.google.com/search?q=skype+64+bit+ubuntu | 00:15 |
| andresmh | Slart, I will try another mirror | 00:15 |
| mib_z8lrq4 | mgolisch: oh but let's say you if you wanted to write from linux | 00:15 |
| Slart | !root | wayne_ | 00:15 |
| ubottu | wayne_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:15 |
| adam7 | wayne_: yo ucan't | 00:15 |
| Leon | ilmob: Did you take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-G650+ | 00:16 |
| Leon | ilmob: You probably did already... | 00:16 |
| garnol | Slart: So how could i speed up my system boot? | 00:16 |
| cehr | adam7: okay, that makes sense. besides, I like gnome and I'd be a bit apprehensive on giving it up, heh | 00:16 |
| atlef | MiniF: it is in the medibuntu repository | 00:16 |
| ilmob | I did and I have no idea | 00:17 |
| atlef | !medibuntu | MiniF | 00:17 |
| ubottu | MiniF: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:17 |
| adam7 | cehr: I ran gnome on a laptop with a p3 @ 1ghz and it wasn't too bad, but that was a while ago | 00:17 |
| Slart | garnol: apart from the regular stuff (not having tons of apps that autostart etc) there are some tricks.. it won't save you a lot of time but you can shave off a couple of seconds.. google for "ubuntu tweaks" or similar | 00:17 |
| garnol | Slart: ok i ll have a look | 00:17 |
| Leon | ilmob: What do you mean you had no idea. It didn't work? | 00:18 |
| ilmob | Leon I am a complete noob I've never used linux before in my life so all of those forums and FAQs are like reading greek. it's very complicated for the windows user coming in fresh without any knowledge | 00:18 |
| firefly2442 | garnol: I think somebody was working on a system to load things as you type in your username/password (in the background) | 00:18 |
| ilmob | so I try to go through it and do what they say but it didn't work | 00:18 |
| MiniF | what the hell. everything i do just gets errors in apt-get | 00:18 |
| wayne_ | ilmob, im in the same boat as you lol | 00:18 |

| mib_z8lrq4 | mgolisch: of you help me with my problem i will paypal you. I have a drive formatted in hfs+, can I add a new partition in fat32 and use that as an external drive that i can write/read/own from my linux os? | 00:19 |

| firefly2442 | FrozenFire: you might try Bittorrent, speed should be fast from that | 00:23 |

| FrozenFire | firefly2442: I'm installing via Wubi. | 00:23 |
| andresmh | Slart, oh, the update manager just informed me I need to update a couple of programs | 00:23 |

| ilmob | claiming it was way better | 01:02 |
| Zoohouse | hehe it is | 01:03 |
| Don_Miguel | ilmob, most of us HERE think it is ... but that SHOULD be YOUR choice ... | 01:03 |
| Zoohouse | i know it is frustrating at first but once u go over the hump, you will love it :) | 01:04 |
| ilmob | lol I'm sure it is I'm just very frustrated after 5 hours | 01:04 |
| Zoohouse | EKK! poor thing | 01:04 |
| ilmob | honestly i want to cry | 01:04 |
| Zoohouse | how experienced are you with computers? | 01:04 |
| ilmob | I'm pretty good with windows | 01:04 |

| Don_Miguel | ilmob, do you STILL HAVE Windoze on your PC ? | 01:05 |
| ilmob | it is so complicated it's unbelieveable | 01:05 |
| ilmob | and quite frankly the notion that it's very easy out of the box is a bit of a misnomer | 01:05 |
| mgolisch | its different | 01:06 |
| Don_Miguel | yep | 01:06 |
| mgolisch | but i think it much better for what iam doing | 01:06 |
| mgolisch | but all that is a matter of preferences | 01:06 |
| ilmob | can someone just help me get this working? | 01:06 |
| Grassputin | ilmob: that's just because you have found the linux equivalents of window programs... I remember the worried, detached feelings | 01:06 |
| mgolisch | ilmob: what working? | 01:06 |
| Don_Miguel | better for everything_I_ do, too | 01:06 |
| ilmob | I'm sure it's fine I don't care either way I just want the wifi to work and be able to connect when I travel to hostels | 01:06 |
| saturnDriver | ilmob: but computers come pre-installed and configured for windows. Installing windows from scratch is just as complicated as installing ubuntu from scratch | 01:07 |
| Grassputin | wifi should be at the right-ish of the screen | 01:07 |

| devilbad | how to cofigure firewall in ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| ilmob | it's now 8pm | 01:07 |
| LTL | ilmob: whats the model number of your wifi device/card | 01:07 |
| Zoohouse | ok back | 01:07 |
| Grassputin | devilbad: iptables or download the fwbuilder app in Add/Remove programs | 01:08 |
| Zoohouse | ilmob: most problems are because of the wireless chipset | 01:08 |
| rww | devilbad: dunno if there's a graphical tool for it, but the command-line one is ufw (see man ufw) | 01:08 |
| ilmob | dlink dwl 650 | 01:08 |

| ilmob | a1-j3 | 01:08 |

| Grassputin | c4pt: have ya googled it yet? | 01:09 |
| Don_Miguel | c4pt, as I recall, I needed some trweaking with D-Link | 01:09 |
| c4pt | Grassputin: yes i have | 01:09 |
| ilmob | at this point I am done with documentation I've tried before too without any success I need it to work before tomorrow | 01:09 |
| c4pt | Don_Miguel: what driver did you use for that card? | 01:09 |
| mib_eqt5d2 | if I installed hfs-progs do I need to resart for it to work? | 01:10 |
| ilmob | if someone could take me through the steps end to end i cannot tell you how much it would be appriciated | 01:10 |
| Zoohouse | ilmob: what have you read so far? | 01:10 |
| Grassputin | c4pt: if it's Atheros based, then it recently became supported in the kernel I believe | 01:10 |
| ilmob | I couldn;t even tell you I've read dozens of pages | 01:10 |
| ilmob | \and i still know absolutely nothing | 01:10 |
| c4pt | Grassputin: it uses Atheros 5008 | 01:10 |
| Zoohouse | ilmob: Im googling it | 01:11 |
| ilmob | I need someone to take me though this like I'm a total idiot saying step 1 step 2 | 01:11 |
| Zoohouse | ilmob: lets see if someone else had the same problem and how they fixed it | 01:11 |
| === Gryphyyn is now known as Gimped | ||
| sinbox | did we get to find out which chipset is actually in your card ilmob? it went through different chipset depending on the card revision | 01:11 |
| ilmob | I don;t even know if I have a problem | 01:11 |
| Zoohouse | hummm | 01:11 |
| Zoohouse | ok | 01:11 |
| Grassputin | c4pt: then it's most likely supported out of the box | 01:11 |
| Zoohouse | err... | 01:11 |
| ilmob | I just need to be walked through it | 01:11 |

| ChristianBill | Does anyone have experience with installing Ubuntu on an eeepc? | 01:13 |
| Grassputin | ChristianBill: I do not, however from what i understand eeebuntu is a fairly straightforward install | 01:14 |
| Grassputin | Just need an external usb dvd/cdrom drive | 01:14 |
| Grassputin | ilmob: looks like it's an atheros based chipset, so "in theory" it should be supported | 01:14 |
| Grassputin | maybe you do not have dhcp client running | 01:15 |
| ChristianBill | Grassputin: I installed it pretty easy, but the wireless internet is giving me some problem | 01:15 |
| sinbox | Grassputin, depending on the revision they have different chipset, this card is apparently notorious for that, | 01:15 |
| ilmob | see dhcp client I'm not smart with networking or linux so I have no idea what that is means or how I would see it and know that's the issue lol | 01:15 |
| sinbox | Grassputin, talking about ilmob's D-link there | 01:15 |

| Grassputin | From what I've glanced at, it seems to be a common bump in the road | 01:20 |
| nickrud | YankDownUnder, it's going to depend on what you're trying to compile, there are _lots_ of libraries | 01:20 |
| s3a | does anybody know of any brand 7 inch netbook with a hard drive (not solid state drive)? | 01:20 |
| Grassputin | proggies sounds very "script-kiddie" | 01:21 |

| shiMMer | what is it?/ | 01:23 |
| nickrud | YankDownUnder, as a general rule, if it says you need glib (for example) apt-cache search glib | grep -dev will narrow down the package you need to install | 01:23 |
| Kurowsaki | hello | 01:23 |
| zsquareplusc | YankDownUnder: is it a source where ubuntu has a package (or an older version thereof)? | 01:23 |

| Kurowsaki | what is the best .gif image creator application | 01:23 |
| nickrud | YankDownUnder, erm, | grep dev that is | 01:23 |
| zsquareplusc | cbentley: the serevr pretty much everything. this channel is about ubuntu | 01:23 |
| clouder`grr | GodfatherofEire1: the /dev/shm is normal, for ubuntu I believe, the unhide thing showed up once for me, I just needed to update rkhunter and the SSH things you just need to configure /etc/sshd_config not to allow root login. The other two I have no idea you should investigate those | 01:23 |

| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: hello... figure it out yet? | 01:25 |
| Kurowsaki | im going to give it a try | 01:25 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | clouder`grr, in the bootloader, there's the normal Ubuntu 8.10 2.6.9 kernel, and theres another that boots into a root terminal, not an emulator, but like a root version of ctrl alt f1. | 01:25 |
| shiMMer | i need install mt nvidia driver | 01:25 |
| shiMMer | i need install my nvidia driver | 01:26 |
| clouder`grr | GodfatherofEire1: yes, that should work SSH is only for remote access to the computer not physical access | 01:26 |
| zsquareplusc | Kurowsaki: in my opinion time is better spent learning gimp than learning some obscure special tool. with gimp you can also edit your photos :-) | 01:26 |

| crashsystems | How do I autorun a shell script on a pen drive every time I plug it in? | 01:38 |
| nnx | chriswyattuk: OK, so just ignore it? Are there any particularly bad implications for doing that? | 01:38 |
| quizme | how does one migrate email from redhat to ubuntu ? | 01:38 |
| LTL | zsquareplusc: you're right... again | 01:38 |
| shiMMer | zsquareplusc::also think nvidia 177 canot be installed by that way | 01:39 |
| chriswyattuk | NNX: it's just that I had a broken install once after doing a partial upgrade | 01:39 |
| chriswyattuk | but I was running beta software so it would probably be OK to do one in your case | 01:39 |
| zsquareplusc | shiMMer: that's the version i have and i only used ubuntu repositories | 01:39 |
| Ghoul | i have a backup/ directory on a smb share; but the transfer got interrupted; now i don't know which files have been already copied and which not; is there a way for me to continue the copy-paste? i don't want to start a fresh 50gb transfer where 80% is already complete :/ | 01:40 |
| YankDownUnder | quizme, Er...what package? Evo? Kmail? Tweetybird? | 01:40 |
| nnx | chriswyattuk: Ouch. I see. I was afraid of that. | 01:40 |
| jtaji | Ghoul: do you have shell access to the server hosting the smb share? | 01:40 |
| shiMMer | zsquareplusc::it not work for me too | 01:40 |
| chriswyattuk | So, just as a precaution, I wait about a day and the repos are sorted then :) | 01:40 |
| Ghoul | jtaji: yes it's a windows machine | 01:41 |
| shiMMer | zsquareplusc::same with tuntun problem | 01:41 |
| Ghoul | but i see it from here | 01:41 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | LTL, how would I go about removing sashroot? | 01:41 |
| zsquareplusc | Ghoul: there are probably graphical sync applications. i just know the command line tool rsync. it will only copy changes | 01:41 |
| quizme | YankDownUnder: server side POP accounts. | 01:41 |
| jtaji | Ghoul: oh, I was going to suggest rsync... could use that in windows with cygwin | 01:41 |
| sikun | i am having problems connecting to a ad-hoc network.. it just doesn't seem to connect, but if its a router/ap it will connect fine.. the ad-hoc network is setup on a windows machine | 01:41 |
| Ghoul | zsquareplusc: interesting; can i use rsync from now on? | 01:41 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Better yet, how would I forcibly remove a user from a system? | 01:41 |
| zsquareplusc | shiMMer: you have nvidia-glx-177 installed? that's more or less what i had to do | 01:41 |
| YankDownUnder | quizme, Is the mail residing on the server, or local? (Oh, and what ya usin to fetch it - which email package?) | 01:42 |
| shiMMer | zsquareplusc::how to install? | 01:42 |
| jtaji | Ghoul: actually if you just mount the smb share you should be able to rsync to it locally | 01:42 |
| tuntun_ | zsquareplusc, yes I restarted. Now I have just tried it through the menu (system->admin>hardware drivers) and selected activate (it said it was not activated but that is what I selected to do when it first asked me). This time it has asked me for a password, and now it is downloading. | 01:42 |
| Ghoul | jtaji: yes! that's what i'm trying to express | 01:43 |
| quizme | YankDownUnder: on the server. Squirrel mail | 01:43 |
| zsquareplusc | Ghoul: rsync starts by scanning the source and destination folders. and then it copies the missing files. it's a somewhat complex tool. i'd sugest that you take a look at the man page | 01:43 |
| Ghoul | the smba share is automounted in kde4.1 :) | 01:43 |
| zsquareplusc | shiMMer: apt-get install | 01:43 |
| YankDownUnder | quizme, If everything is residing on the server, mate, then ya don't need anything 'cept fer a browser, ya? | 01:43 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: deluser? | 01:43 |
| Ghoul | zsquareplusc: alright; guess i'll read everything about rsync and use taht from now on | 01:43 |
| shiMMer | sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 | 01:43 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsoldier, via sudo su? | 01:43 |
| quizme | YankDownUnder: i'm migrating to a different server | 01:44 |
| zsquareplusc | shiMMer: yep, wrong window ;-) | 01:44 |
| jtaji | Ghoul: not familiar with kde, is it available through a filesystem path? | 01:44 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: of course a command such as that requires root access | 01:44 |
| nnx | chriswyattuk: Alright, I'll wait a few days before doing anything. Thank you! | 01:44 |
| shiMMer | i try | 01:44 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsolder, thanks | 01:44 |
| onetinsoldier | yw | 01:44 |
| YankDownUnder | quizme, Ah - righty-oh - thought you were just doing it from an "end-user" perspective. | 01:44 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetin soldier, I just meant if it could be done via the sudo command or whether it needed a root terminal | 01:45 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: sudo, su = root | 01:45 |
| ChristianBill1 | Is there a way to activate/deactivate wireless networking? | 01:45 |

| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: ok, i see. no, i don't think you'd need a root term(i could be wrong tho). root term might be need to run X stuff | 01:46 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsoldier, well, it worked, so thanks | 01:46 |

| greenfuji | i need help with jar files. Im new to linux and installing programs was meant to be easy using Add/Remove. I use a program which you download as a jar then extract and use a terminal command to run. Where can I copy the extracted files to and how do I setup a shortcut to run the command? | 01:47 |
| mickster04 | sorry, sosgy connection | 01:47 |
| mickster04 | dodgy* | 01:47 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: try installing 'file-roller' | 01:48 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsoldier: Whats the timeout on root access? | 01:48 |
| ramon | i just plugged another hard drive but when i start ubuntu i dont see it in the terminal when i do "sudo cfdisk" what should i do to have this hard drive able to ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| greenfuji | file-roller is an app, can I install from Add/Remove? | 01:48 |
| saturnDriver | greenfuji: Is it a java application? | 01:48 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: hmmm, i forget exactly. it's like 5 minutes, maybe 3 | 01:49 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsoldier, alright, just wonderin | 01:49 |
| Elite | Hey guys, in ubuntu server how do I install SWAT? | 01:49 |
| zsquareplusc | greenfuji: jar files do not need to be unpacked, normally. use java -jar xx to run it | 01:49 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: it's longer than i thought.. it's 15 minutes | 01:50 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsoldier: crap, any way to change that? | 01:50 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Thats a large security hole I'd think | 01:50 |
| zsquareplusc | GodfatherofEire1: sudo timeout? see man sudoers, edit with visudo | 01:51 |
| gsingh | is ogg better than mp3 | 01:51 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | zsquareplusc, thanks | 01:51 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: there is surely a way. i don't know where that config info is at tho | 01:51 |
| KenBW22 | Ademan: you there? | 01:51 |
| sinbox | gsingh, yes | 01:52 |
| onetinsoldier | GodfatherofEire1: then again, maybe i shouldn't be so sure. it might be hard-coded in the sudo binary for all i know | 01:52 |
| MellowDude | hi all | 01:52 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | onetinsoldier, I guess not | 01:52 |
| fde | gsingh: quality wise, they're about the same... difference is, if you encode something as ogg, you still own the file... that and its entirely open source | 01:52 |
| Elite | Hey guys, in ubuntu server how do I install SWAT? | 01:52 |
| fde | Elite: #ubuntu-server | 01:53 |
| MellowDude | i downloaded the i915 driver from intel how do i go about installing it | 01:53 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | zsquareplusc answered how to edit it pretty much, but thanks for the help with sashroot | 01:53 |
| gsingh | is there anyway you can make an ogg file play on the nokia 96 phone | 01:53 |
| fde | MellowDude: its already in the kernel... | 01:53 |
| zsquareplusc | onetinsoldier: timestamp_timeout in sudoers :-) | 01:53 |
| gsingh | cos it can read mp3, wma etc | 01:53 |
| gsingh | but not ogg | 01:53 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| MellowDude | yeah but i read and the one on intel site is better than the one venders have | 01:53 |
| jtaji | Elite: sudo aptitude install swat | 01:53 |
| fde | MellowDude: no its not | 01:53 |
| onetinsoldier | zsquareplusc: ok, thanks. GodfatherofEire1 is the one who was really wanting to know though | 01:54 |
| MellowDude | intel recommends u install it | 01:54 |
| MellowDude | thats what it said on intel site | 01:54 |
| sinbox | doubt it gsingh try looking for different firmware on specialist forums but none of the mobile I've tried would do ogg | 01:54 |
| fde | MellowDude: their driver is GPL, they can't improve on it without releasing it back to the community. | 01:54 |
| Yopu | Off topic: Anyone know a good LiveCD? | 01:55 |
| onetinsoldier | zsquareplusc: ok, i see you told him, cool :-) | 01:55 |
| fde | Yopu: make your own. | 01:55 |
| MellowDude | so intel lie to me | 01:55 |
| fde | MellowDude: if you want to look at it that way, sure | 01:55 |
| Zoohouse | Yopu: what are you going to use it for? | 01:55 |
| nickrud | MellowDude, where does it say that on Intel's site? What I found says the opposite: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&Inst=Yes&ProductID=955&DwnldID=13815&strOSs=39&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng | 01:55 |
| Yopu | Zoohouse: just a lightweight os for when i'm not at my home pc | 01:56 |
| Zoohouse | Yopu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_LiveDistros | 01:56 |
| Zoohouse | http://www.mibbit.com/url/ukxC4i | 01:56 |
| Yopu | thx | 01:57 |
| zsquareplusc | Yopu: why not the ubuntu live cd? when you put it on a usb drive you can even get persistent home | 01:57 |
| Tyrath | is anyone good at rhythmbox? | 01:57 |
| fde | !ask | Tyrath | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Tyrath: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:57 |
| Yopu | zsquareplusc: not a bad idea | 01:57 |
| Tyrath | fde: how do I synchronise with an iPod | 01:57 |
| fde | Tyrath: you can't, you can only play off of the iPod | 01:58 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: I have no problem extracting the jar, I also have no problem running the program using the code supplied from the program supplier, its that the extracted files are in my Documents folder and I have to use terminal to run the program thats what I'm concerned with. I would prefer the contents of the folder to be in a "programs" area and a shortcut to run the program rather then using terminal. | 01:58 |
| Tyrath | fde: so I can't put files on the iPod using Rhythmbox? | 01:58 |
| MellowDude | nvm i build my own driver from scratch | 01:58 |
| fde | Tyrath: pretty sure that's what I just said? | 01:58 |
| Tyrath | fde: so if you had an iPod which application would you use? | 01:59 |
| fde | Tyrath: try gtkpod | 01:59 |
| Tyrath | fde: k thanks | 01:59 |
| fde | Tyrath: I wouldn't purchase an iPod though, they're a rip off | 01:59 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, my video nano works great with banshee | 01:59 |
| KenBW22 | how do i install the "Human" window manager theme? | 01:59 |
| KenBW22 | metacity i assume | 01:59 |
| fde | KenBW22: it'll already be installed | 01:59 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: ok, move the executable to /usr/local/bin ....then i can tell you how to make a shortcut to it | 01:59 |
| Tyrath | banshee == gtkpod ? | 01:59 |
| fde | Tyrath: no | 01:59 |
| KenBW22 | fde: i uninstalled it somehow | 01:59 |
| Tyrath | k | 02:00 |
| mickster04 | im on an asus 900 with ubuntu Ibex, and the scroll click (double two fingered click) no longer initiates the cube effect, could some one give me a clue where to look? | 02:00 |
| Tyrath | which one is better? | 02:00 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, no, gtkpod is a techie program, banshee is a player equiv to rhythmbox | 02:00 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: or, move the executable to wherever you want. then i'll walk you through making a shortcut | 02:00 |
| KenBW22 | mickster04: do you have CCSM installed>? | 02:00 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, no 'better' involved, just preference | 02:00 |
| Tyrath | nickrud: so banshee does synchronise? | 02:00 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, yes | 02:00 |
| zsquareplusc | greenfuji: you can create a laucher in the panel. you enter the command line there and from then on you haev an icon you can click | 02:00 |
| Tyrath | see i don't really care for a player, just something that means I don't have to manually copy files across | 02:01 |
| Tyrath | mplayer works fine for me for playing files | 02:01 |
| Tyrath | but i'll try banshee, thanks | 02:01 |
| mickster04 | KenBW22, i dunno, it works with <ctrl><alt>button1 | 02:01 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, then gtkpod for you, if you're using mplayer for playing stuff ;) | 02:01 |
| fde | KenBW22: ubuntu-artwork I believe ... they switched from gtk2-engines-ubuntulook to gtk2-engines-murrine in intrepid | 02:01 |
| Tyrath | nickrud: all I needs the synchronise. or whatever that feature is called that finds all the music on your machine for copying across | 02:02 |
| KenBW22 | fde: i want the gtk2-engines-ubuntulook, which i have installed | 02:02 |
| Tyrath | as such which is the better out of gtkpod and banshee? | 02:02 |
| fde | KenBW22: no, that is just the engine... hence ubuntu-artwork | 02:02 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, try both, see which you prefer. Not like it costs anything | 02:02 |
| Tyrath | hehe. i'm low on download capacity atm | 02:03 |
| KenBW22 | fde: ubuntu-artwork has the window manager? | 02:03 |
| greenfuji | So the jar extracts a folder with files in it. Do I put the whole folder in /usr.bin/? I enter this command in terminal to run the program "java -cp jts.jar:pluginsupport.jar:riskfeed.jar:hsqldb.jar:jcommon-1.0.12.jar:jfreechart-1.0.9.jar:jhall.jar:other.jar:rss.jar -Xmx256M jclient.LoginFrame ." | 02:03 |
| fde | KenBW22: no, it is the theme | 02:03 |
| Tyrath | I generally veer toward shell apps | 02:03 |
| Tyrath | cause they're low weight | 02:03 |
| nickrud | Tyrath, then gtkpod, low overhead there for sure | 02:03 |
| Rakko | I'm trying to boot Hardy (I know it's not current) on an old computer of mine. It runs Debian fine, but the Hardy CD just drops it into a BusyBox shell. How do I fix this? | 02:03 |
| KenBW22 | fde: the whole excerise here is to get Hardy's theme on Intrepid - im all the way except for the window manager | 02:04 |
| zsquareplusc | greenfuji: no, not /usr/bin. that's reserved for software under package management. i'd make a folder in /opt | 02:04 |
| fde | nickrud: you sure banshee even does synchronization? I'm pretty sure it too can only play from such devices... | 02:04 |
| Tyrath | nickrud: because if gtkpod just handles the ls, cp, mv functions of the basic shell that's not much point | 02:04 |
| fde | KenBW22: I'm not repeating myself again, stop arguing. | 02:04 |
| jeeves_Moss | is there a min install CD anymore to install Ubuntu server from the net? | 02:04 |
| nickrud | fde, I've been using it myself. Tyrath it updates database, etc | 02:04 |
| MellowDude | another thing i forgot to ask | 02:04 |
| zsquareplusc | jeeves_Moss: yes there is | 02:05 |
| MellowDude | how do i get a 3 button serial mouse to work in ubuntu | 02:05 |
| KenBW22 | fde: installing ubuntu-artwork removes gtk-engines-ubuntulooks , which is what i want to keep | 02:05 |
| nickrud | fde, although I did use gtkpod and a custom libgpod for a while, with the manual addition to the ipod's config. Could be the diff. | 02:05 |
| MellowDude | the mouse works great in windows | 02:05 |
| zsquareplusc | jeeves_Moss: start looking for what you want here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/ | 02:05 |
| jeeves_Moss | zsquareplusc, is it a mini CD that then downloads all the packages from the net? | 02:05 |
| * zsquareplusc should publish the 200kb network installer for ubuntu.. | 02:06 | |

| zsquareplusc | greenfuji: use a terminal sudo mkdir /opt/myapp; sudo chown $USER /opt/myapp from then on you can write it as normal user | 02:11 |
| nickrud | CodeWar, have you tried right clicking the time display in the panel, there's a place there to change time and date | 02:11 |
| nazraf | k i did | 02:11 |
| nazraf | but nothing came up i did it before | 02:11 |

| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:19 |
| namespace | DasEi: ok. i was trying to mess around with the cd that pendrivelinux had by mounting the iso and modifying the menu.lst for grub that they had, but i'm not sure if that would have worked or what the menu.lst entry should have been | 02:19 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: it can be harder.. try compiling a somewhat complex app from source sometime... one that doesn't come with a 'configure' script, or even if it does come with one, hehe. | 02:19 |
| fde | KenBW22: I said 'human-theme' ... which is a package | 02:19 |
| nickrud | onetinsoldier, ever compile X 3.6? | 02:20 |
| terli | does anyone know if the wubi project plans to add support for debian? | 02:20 |
| DasEi | detrix:ultra-vnc is even nicer, or do you just want file access ? | 02:20 |
| KenBW22 | fde: thats what i installed, and it reverted me to Intrepid's murrine engine | 02:20 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: I'll take note to try that some time :-D | 02:20 |
| nazraf | k i did that nick | 02:20 |
| nickrud | nazraf, no change? | 02:20 |
| fde | KenBW22: It should have given you the choice of several themes if you look in System > Preferences > Appearance | 02:20 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: hmm, i'm not sure. i did compile X once... many many years ago. it might have been 3.6! | 02:20 |
| detrix | DasEi thanx | 02:21 |
| seeker | doesn't cups in ubuntu have support for IPP printing? | 02:21 |
| nazraf | no same as before a slight flicker and no change | 02:21 |
| fde | seeker: yes | 02:21 |
| greenfuji | so no I need to create a shortcut to run a command which runs out of this folder. Whats the best way to do that? | 02:21 |
| KenBW22 | fde: yea Human was there, but the wrong version of it | 02:21 |
| nickrud | onetinsoldier, many years ago qualifies, it was a strange piece of software | 02:21 |
| mn | where can I get a list of all the default packages/programs that come with ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| DasEi | namespace:do you have any grub in mbr now ? | 02:21 |
| * YankDownUnder tries to pull out hair only to find he shaves his head => GLib !!! Argh! | 02:21 | |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: i can't hardly believe it, but i think that may have been it | 02:21 |
| fde | mn: packages.ubuntu.com ... look at 'ubuntu-desktop' package | 02:21 |
| DasEi | namespace: do* | 02:21 |
| mn | ty fde | 02:22 |
| KenBW22 | fde: there was only 1 Human in there if that's what you mean | 02:22 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: ok, ready? one sec.. ok? | 02:22 |
| namespace | DasEi: yes, i have grub | 02:22 |
| sinbox | ilmob, you still around? | 02:22 |
| nazraf | btw nick how can i address my message to you like you do when you wriet to me | 02:22 |
| DasEi | namespace: what does the menu show / what happens ? | 02:22 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: take your time, you're a champ for helping | 02:22 |
| ilmob | yup | 02:22 |
| fde | KenBW22: if you have gtk2-engine-ubuntulooks ... just click 'customize' and see if its listed | 02:22 |
| nickrud | mn, releases.ubuntu.com/8.10 , any of the *.list files | 02:22 |
| seeker | fde - know of a good doc or faq for someone with little knowlege of setting up/configuring using IPP ? | 02:23 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: at the top menus... System --> Preferences --> Main Menu ...thanks :-) | 02:23 |
| namespace | DasEi: kinda lost me on that question | 02:23 |
| fde | seeker: Its really pretty intuitive... just check out System > Administration > Printing | 02:23 |
| namespace | i relatively new to grub and ubuntu in general | 02:23 |
| fde | seeker: Add > Printer > IPP ... set the IP of the printer, pretty much ready to go | 02:24 |
| namespace | i was always a slakware user | 02:24 |
| fde | seeker: provided the printer is supported at least | 02:24 |
| namespace | but i'm liking what was done with ubuntu | 02:24 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: now it depends on where you want to put it in there.. lets's say it happens to be 'Accessories' | 02:24 |
| DasEi | namespace: ? we can try to fix your current sys, then more specific info is needed, or try a repair with sg-disk, it offers good help | 02:24 |
| seeker | fde - you mean by cups itself or the mini server I have? | 02:24 |
| nazraf | anymore ideas nick | 02:25 |
| F | hi all. I have a USB stick. How can I turn it into a bootable ISO? | 02:25 |
| Stanlin | merry christhams | 02:25 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: oh wait, i believe i forgot something you'll have to do first, hang on | 02:25 |
| nickrud | nazraf, I missed what you said before: you should use my full nickname on the line, it shows the line as red here. | 02:25 |
| DasEi | !usb>F | 02:25 |
| ubottu | F, please see my private message | 02:25 |
| fde | seeker: you're using the CLI atm? system-config-printer and system-config-printer-qt (I believe) make it a lot easier | 02:25 |
| terli | F : unetbootin | 02:25 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: I need to run this command "java -cp jts.jar:pluginsupport.jar:riskfeed.jar:hsqldb.jar:jcommon-1.0.12.jar:jfreechart-1.0.9.jar:jhall.jar:other.jar:rss.jar -Xmx256M jclient.LoginFrame ." in terminal I cd to the directory (now in /opt/myapp) and then type that command. | 02:25 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: just in case.. close that out for now | 02:25 |
| namespace | DasEi: i don't need to fix my current system. that is working fine. i am trying to make a boot cd so that i can use the ubuntu i put on my usb memory stick (on the 3rd partition) | 02:25 |
| greenfuji | onetinesoldier, the face should not be in the command obviously | 02:25 |
| nickrud | nazraf, no. the resetting of the panel completely to default and restarting it has always worked with a fubar'd panel for me | 02:26 |
| F | terli: i have errors when I try installing unetbootin. | 02:26 |
| nazraf | nickrud: i tried the last thing you said nothin happened | 02:26 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: closed | 02:26 |
| F | terli: i am using the new Dell Mini 9. | 02:26 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: do this first... System --> Preferences --> Appearance | 02:26 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: done | 02:26 |
| F | terli: I am using the new Intel Atom processor, so I get some trouble using both i386 and x86_64 things... | 02:27 |
| seeker | fde - not at the cli but I can certainly take at look at that method. :) | 02:27 |
| nazraf | nickrud: could it possibily be set to hidden or something? | 02:27 |
| DasEi | namespace: you want a custom-boot cd from your parti, now I got you | 02:27 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: Interface Tab.. on that tab check "Editable menu shortcut keys" | 02:27 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: done | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: then open up the other window again(Main Menu) | 02:28 |
| namespace | DasEi: basically, i want to be able to take the usb memory stick and go to another machine that does not support booting from a usb drive and boot from the cd which will load up ubuntu from the usb memory stick | 02:28 |
| namespace | DasEi: yeah | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: now it depends on where you want to put it in there.. lets's say it happens to be 'Accessories' | 02:28 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: accessories is fine for now | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: surely you can see on the right hand side 'Add New' | 02:29 |
| KenBW22 | fde: Human isnt listed under Window Manaer | 02:29 |
| KenBW22 | Manager | 02:29 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: yep | 02:29 |
| nickrud | nazraf, possibly, but there should be a few pixels visible. You could run gconf-editor /apps/panel/toplevels/ and check autohide under the bottom and top screens | 02:29 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: errr, 'New Item' i mean | 02:29 |
| rexus | hi guys, where can I find the InstallDir of my ActivePerl? and even how do I know if ActivePerl or ActivePython is installed? | 02:29 |
| nazraf | nickrud k i will do that | 02:29 |
| seeker | fde - starting the system config gives me the same nice UI as I get when Idirectly start via gnome. | 02:29 |
| YankDownUnder | onetinsoldier, I'm giving up - day's half done - found XFce in the channels anyways...was worth a go. | 02:29 |
| DasEi | namespace:I never did that myself, but there is http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ , and maybe someone else is around | 02:29 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: ok.. that's about it... make the new item andenter what the command for the shortcut is | 02:29 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | What do I need to do to connect to wifi by command line? | 02:29 |
| namespace | DasEi: ok, thanks | 02:30 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: i could help you, but i could not get you to answer my yes or no question earlier | 02:30 |
| DasEi | namespace:np, sorry for getting you wrong | 02:30 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: you had said you were missing Glib.. i asked you a few times if had figured it out yet | 02:31 |
| onetinsoldier | you had* | 02:31 |
| saturnDriver | how is 4-channel audio configured in ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| fde | seeker: Yes, its just easier to say the apps name rather than direct you there all the time... | 02:31 |
| YankDownUnder | onetinsoldier, Sorry mate - children are underfoot today - attention span of a gnat I've got | 02:31 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: lol | 02:31 |
| fde | seeker: just go to add a printer, IPP is listed, set the IP, and follow the wizard | 02:31 |
| mickster04 | KenBW22 sorry i disappeared, carry on please!:S | 02:31 |
| miaviator278 | Anyone have their keyboard and mouse stop working after suspending to ram? | 02:32 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: ok, you still missing Glib? | 02:32 |
| mgolisch | miaviator278: usb? | 02:32 |
| KenBW22 | have a look in CCSM, and go to Rotate Cube | 02:32 |
| miaviator278 | mgolisch: laptop - USB is an easy fix | 02:32 |
| nazraf | nickrud i went in but i cant find the auto hide option? | 02:32 |
| mickster04 | an does anyone have a problem with emerald crashing repeatedly? asus eee 900 | 02:33 |

| aoliveira | hi ppl | 02:33 |
| YankDownUnder | onetinsoldier, Just a version diff. Sad but true. S'all right cuz I'm installing from the source channel...saves me a bit of time that - but would like to compile me own stuff as I've done in the past on Fed and Mandribble | 02:33 |
| mgolisch | miaviator278: no idea then | 02:33 |
| namespace | but i still need to figure out how to set the entry correct in menu.lst | 02:33 |
| miaviator278 | mgolisch: LOL - thanks | 02:33 |
| KenBW22 | mickster04: done? | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: ok.. you get the Glib dependency figured out yet? yes? no? | 02:34 |
| nickrud | nazraf, under toplevels, you should see bottom_panel_screen0 , it's in that folder. Same for top_panel_screen_0. If you don't see those under /apps/panels/toplevels, you didn't run the --recursive-unset command properly. | 02:34 |
| YankDownUnder | onetinsoldier, Nah - still a mystery m8 | 02:34 |
| aoliveira | how a fix the lcd bright on ubuntu? | 02:34 |
| mickster04 | KenBW22 it has <ctrl><alt>button1 assigned to initiate cube | 02:34 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: ok, i can help with that | 02:34 |
| KenBW22 | is the plugin enabled? | 02:34 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: you got it? all set? | 02:34 |
| F | can someone help me install unetbootin please? | 02:34 |
| seeker | fde - thanks. I actually tried before joing the channel. There seems to be something I missed because it simply doesn't seem the device using the data I enter. | 02:34 |
| YankDownUnder | onetinsoldier, Howzabout I put the ankle-biters to nap first, eh? | 02:34 |
| terli | (08:32:11 PM) terli: open a gnome terminal | 02:34 |

| miaviator278 | aoliveira: what's wrong with it? | 02:35 |
| mickster04 | KenBW22, yes it does work if i press ctrl alt and the left mouse, but i want it to work with double double finger click aka scroll click | 02:35 |
| KenBW22 | oh right | 02:35 |
| terli | F: is nuts, don't pay any attention to him, his uname -a gives a timestamp from JULY | 02:35 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: i have to go myself, but apt-get install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev pkg-config | 02:36 |
| zsquareplusc | YankDownUnder: you're compiling diff? are you still stuck with the build depenencies? then the apt-get build-dep diff | 02:36 |
| KenBW22 | mickster04: iirc its Button 3 | 02:36 |
| F | but I am having some problems. When I try to run apt-get install unetbootin I get the following error: E: Couldn't find package unetbootin | 02:36 |
| F | do I have to update apt-get somehow? | 02:36 |
| aoliveira | miaviator278: everytime the pc boots the bright is at max | 02:36 |
| YankDownUnder | onetinsoldier, Coolbeans. Roger that. | 02:36 |
| mickster04 | KenBW22 ok, ill try that now | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | YankDownUnder: :-) | 02:36 |
| aoliveira | miaviator278: where could i fix it? | 02:36 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: I entered the command I pasted before and created the shortcut. Nothing happens when I select it. I think it has to do with not being in the directory where it needs to run. I opened a terminal and cd to directery and then ran command and it worked. How do I amend the shortcut command to go to the directory first? | 02:36 |
| DasEi | namespace:that's another thing again then the custom-boot cd is, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html ,with root=/boot of your usb | 02:36 |
| nazraf | nickrud when i typed the gconf-editor /apps/panel/toplevels | 02:37 |
| jordo2323 | Has anyone made a Linksys Wireless USB adapter connect with encryption on? | 02:37 |
| DasEi | namespace:also, different hardware might cause you probs | 02:37 |
| miaviator278 | aoliveira: should be a module | 02:37 |
| aoliveira | miaviator278: in the windows xp the bright is the last configured | 02:37 |
| nazraf | nickrud the conf editor opens burt says bad key or directory name | 02:37 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: past into there what you put in for the command. you probably just didn't make it the full path, or use quotes where they were needed | 02:37 |
| onetinsoldier | paste* | 02:37 |
| Stanlin | yohoo | 02:38 |
| miaviator278 | aoliveira: does the dimmer function work? | 02:38 |
| aoliveira | i always put the brighter to mminimun but when i boot it backs to the same | 02:38 |

| nazraf | nickrud k never mind i had to remove the forward slash | 02:38 |

| F | anyone? | 02:39 |

| nickrud | nazraf, then I'm not sure what your issue is: my next step, in a shotgun approach would be logging out and back in. | 02:39 |
| namespace | DasEi: counts starting from 0, just like a good programmer ;D | 02:39 |
| DasEi | namespace: /dev/sda3 would be hd(0,2) | 02:40 |

| nazraf | nickrud ^ | 02:41 |
| nickrud | nazraf, you can just hit clt-alt-backspace , that works. Call it the nuclear option :) | 02:41 |

| nickrud | nazraf, next, sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel gnome-panel-data | 02:43 |
| rexus | how to find where my ActivePerl was installed to? | 02:43 |
| KenBW22 | mickster04: yea conflicts get a bit too messy for my liking | 02:44 |

| exodus_ms | nazraf, command for shutting down x session from terminal | 02:44 |
| onetinsoldier | rexus: dpkg -L ActivePerl ...? | 02:44 |
| mickster04 | so, just to sort out, title bars have dissappeared which probably has something to do with emerald breakin and crashignre gularly | 02:44 |
| rexus | ok | 02:44 |
| exodus_ms | nazraf, you can also type 'shutdown' in the terminal for a list of options :) | 02:44 |

| exodus_ms | nickrud, do you think booting into recovery mode might help, maybe he trashed some of his system when he turned it off last night? | 02:52 |

| nickrud | nazraf, but: X and gnome have changed how they interact since I last really looked into it, and stuff has changed out from under me. If that last command doesn't do the trick completely I'm not positive where to go next | 02:54 |

| miaviator278 | KenBW22: You got it. | 02:56 |
| nickrud | nazraf, that's good, it's saying it made a backup. Now, restart X one more time | 02:56 |
| miaviator278 | there is other ways to do it. | 02:56 |

| nickrud | greenfuji, personally I'd write a short script that cd'd into the right dir, then ran that command. Then I'd hook up a launcher to the script. | 03:12 |
| roni | greenfuji: will try although i dont remember seeing something like thatthere | 03:12 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: in System --> Preferences --> Main Menu ..he created a shortcut... the command is exactly this --> /opt/myapp/IBJts/"java -cp jts.jar:pluginsupport.jar:riskfeed.jar:hsqldb.jar:jcommon-1.0.12.jar:jfreechart-1.0.9.jar:jhall.jar:other.jar:rss.jar -Xmx256M jclient.LoginFrame ." | 03:12 |
| greenfuji | onetinsoldier: still trying to get around the permissions issue but you may like to now removing the perenthesis also allowed the command to work, albiet without permissions | 03:12 |
| greenfuji | nickrud: how would I create a script? | 03:13 |
| nickrud | greenfuji, onetinsoldier put cd /opt/myapp/IBJts && java -cp ... in the script, put the script in say /usr/local/bin, and then run the script from the launcher | 03:13 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: ok, roger that. it's a long command, and i'm not familier with java or java commands really | 03:13 |

| DasEi1 | fenec: does it show up in bios ? | 03:29 |
| hlfshell | it just said * Starting System Tools Backends system-tools-backends | 03:29 |
| n8tuser | JDStone -> can you post your mount command results | 03:29 |
| fenec | DasEi1 yes it does | 03:29 |
| zsquareplusc | JDStone: and sdb1 is working? did you repartition the drive a moment ago? | 03:29 |
| JDStone | n8tuser: i just did | 03:29 |
| fenec | i can use it in my windows partition | 03:29 |
| greenfuji | nickrud: you champion! it works. So now do I just browse to the script for my shortcut? | 03:29 |
| JDStone | no | 03:29 |
| JDStone | i didn't | 03:30 |
| n8tuser | JDStone -> i did not see it, where? | 03:30 |
| JDStone | it has data on it | 03:30 |
| JDStone | n8tuser: what the hell! I'm trying to mount a hdd and it says "mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt/storage/ busy" | 03:30 |
| nickrud | hlfshell, ok, we're gonna do a little surgery. in a terminal, type sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/system-tools-backend.postinst | 03:30 |
| JDStone | I just accessed the drive a couple of weeks ago | 03:30 |

| JDStone | and the machine has been turned off since | 03:30 |

| n8tuser | JDStone -> thats the exact result of mount command? | 03:30 |
| hlfshell | that files blank nickrud | 03:31 |

| JDStone | yes | 03:31 |
| greenfuji | nickrud & onetinsoldier: you guys are great. All sorted now and I learnt heaps. | 03:31 |

| mn | is there any way to remove the default system themes? | 03:31 |
| n8tuser | JDStone -> confusing, you mentioned you were trying to mount hdd, am referring to just the mount command! | 03:31 |
| hlfshell | oh ok got it up. now what nickrud ? | 03:31 |
| nickrud | hlfshell, you see the line with set -e ? | 03:32 |
| zsquareplusc | JHalstead: \ in front of spaces helps in many situations. | 03:32 |
| hlfshell | yes | 03:32 |
| JDStone | n8tuser: hdd = hard disk drive | 03:32 |
| nickrud | hlfshell, on the line just below it, add exit 0 | 03:32 |

| Nillerz | File-system wise, I should make it the same as Windows, correct? | 03:45 |

| Nillerz | Now, fun question | 03:46 |
| Nillerz | Which ubuntu build should I get? | 03:47 |
| Nillerz | I'm thinking good ol' Xubuntu | 03:47 |
| zsquareplusc | Nillerz: just makes sure you dont select "entire disk" when it asks about partitioning :/ | 03:47 |
| Nillerz | right, of course. | 03:47 |
| dnyy | zsquareplusc: thanks | 03:47 |
| n8tuser | Nillerz -> have you tried wubi yet? or livecd to give you a feel of how ubuntu is like? | 03:47 |

| l337ingDisorder | Interesting quandry here.. I'm connecting to an SSH server running Ubuntu, and I'm using ubuntu as well. I like to use colour prompts, and I've set the remote prompt to use colour but it's not letting colour across until I switch to the root user, then it enables the colour... but both users' bashrc files are the same. Here is the .bashrc contents: http://rafb.net/p/1nicxB86.html | 04:06 |

| nickrud | sdubois92, I've done that 4 times, fracked windows once | 04:17 |
| jrgp | sdubois92, nearly nill | 04:17 |
| nickrud | sdubois92, and quite possibly operator error | 04:17 |
| jrgp | depends on how reliable your hardware is, really | 04:17 |
| sdubois92 | would anyone advise against it? | 04:17 |
| jrgp | not at all | 04:18 |
| sdubois92 | all hardware is reliable until it fails | 04:18 |

| onetinsoldier | Heston: are you on the box that has this problem right now? or is it next to you? | 04:37 |
| LinuxLover4 | zsquareplusc: it sounds easier to just reinstall then apt-get update | 04:37 |
| Heston | onetinsoldier, im currently using it with a wired connection | 04:37 |
| shiMMer | here my result=http://paste.ubuntu.com/92582/ | 04:38 |

| zsquareplusc | Zoohouse: append & to command line or use ctrl+z and "bg" | 04:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Heston: roger.. have you looked into the network-manager? anything in there for it at all? | 04:39 |
| Zoohouse | thanks! | 04:39 |
| Heston | onetinsoldier, when I check edit wireless connections, nothing appears, however I can see the network in KWifiManager | 04:40 |
| gleesond | anyone know how to install icon sets that you download from gnome-look? | 04:40 |
| Heston | although it doesnt allow me to connect | 04:40 |
| Lemonwedge | so, what do i install to be able to recognize windows audio formats? | 04:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Heston: but only you're wired network? is that all you can see in there? | 04:41 |
| dnyy | what format does an icon have to be for the menu? | 04:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Heston: so what's showing up in there for wireless or eth1? | 04:41 |
| Zoohouse | zsquareplusc: thank you | 04:42 |
| shiMMer | then,i use ath5k or ath9k?? | 04:42 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mediubuntu | 04:43 |
| shiMMer | how can i know my driver is best for ath5k or ath9k? | 04:43 |
| onetinsoldier | !medibuntu | Lemonwedge | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Lemonwedge: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 04:43 |
| bork | After reinstalling Intrepid: when my laptop comes out of suspend, the wireless networks that I expect do not show up in network-manager's tools, and I can't connect to them. Everything works before suspending, though. Does anyone know how I could fix this? | 04:43 |
| Heston | onetinsoldier, well like I said, in the regular network connections, I cant find my wireless network, however KWifiManager seems to find it alright | 04:43 |
| Arrowhead212002 | does anyone know of any good tablet utilities for ubuntu i.e. convert writing to txt | 04:44 |
| onetinsoldier | Heston: yeah, i don't know really, sorry. i'm no good at wireless problems | 04:44 |
| tempspace | I've always wondered how good Ubuntu's paid support is | 04:44 |
| Heston | onetinsoldier, no problem, I've got someone else helping me right now aswell so dont worry about it | 04:45 |
| LinuxLover4 | zsquareplusc: i actually just started up the ubuntu server isntallation disk and chose recue mode, then exectued a shell on root, now im running apt-get update. will that fix my problem then? will that update the kernel? | 04:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Heston: ok, good luck | 04:45 |
| Heston | thanks | 04:45 |
| Lemonwedge | how do i clear a rewritable disk? | 04:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Lemonwedge: reformat it? | 04:45 |
| Lemonwedge | theres a song on it but it wont delete | 04:45 |
| Lemonwedge | sure | 04:45 |
| onetinsoldier | what format is it in? | 04:46 |
| onetinsoldier | ext3? | 04:46 |
| Lemonwedge | cdda | 04:46 |
| Lemonwedge | i think | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | Lemonwedge: oh, this a cd/dvd disk? | 04:47 |
| Lemonwedge | yes | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | r/w? | 04:47 |
| Lemonwedge | yes | 04:47 |
| Lemonwedge | oh nevermind | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | i think you have to mount it as udf filesystem type | 04:48 |
| Lemonwedge | it just says cd-r | 04:48 |
| Lemonwedge | but is there still a way to reformat it? | 04:48 |
| shiMMer | how can i know im using 32bit or 64bit? | 04:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Lemonwedge: i would think so... but you'd have to do it as udf filesystem type. i'm not familiar with doing udf stuff really. i should learn how to do it | 04:49 |
| onetinsoldier | hey, anyone know how to reformat a cd-rw? | 04:49 |
| ushimitsudoki | shiMMer: uname -a | 04:50 |
| Theshark | can you mount a filesystem over the net somehow? i have DD-wrt and i also have a telenet account to. | 04:50 |
| stan | uname -a if it says i386 or i686 its 32bit, x86_64 is 64 bit. | 04:50 |
| Lemonwedge | meh, maybe i should just use windows to do this | 04:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Lemonwedge: you probably want to have a look at these packages... udftools, libudf0 | 04:51 |
| Lemonwedge | i need it to be able to put music on itunes and play on a stereo | 04:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Lemonwedge: there might be a frontend that can make use of them, such as gnomebaker or k3b | 04:52 |
| Lemonwedge | if i reformat it will i be able to do that? | 04:52 |

| terryx | .rar file | 04:55 |
| terryx | u mean from terminal? | 04:55 |
| stan | terryx, so you type '.rar file' and it said something about it not being aithenticated? | 04:55 |
| Heston | rraj_be, ##electronics | 04:55 |
| rraj_be | ok thanks Don_Miguel | 04:56 |
| terryx | no...i goto package manager and select it..then its shows its can;t me trusted..something like this... | 04:56 |
| stan | terryx -- if your doing it from the GUI i dunno :(. | 04:56 |
| stan | i am running 8.04 and unrar installs without a warning. | 04:56 |
| terryx | its all right i have done..and its extracting files now | 04:56 |

| Zygot | Theshark: Oh yeah, it's the bomb | 05:05 |
| Haberdasher | I don't really know what to do here. I tried "startx", but that didn't work. | 05:05 |
| ardchoille | terryx: updating your sources is a good thing to do now and then | 05:05 |
| onetinsoldier | Haberdasher: hmm, doesn't seem like you should get a command prompt if you choose to install. what type of installer did you download? the regular LiveCD one? or the alternate installer? | 05:05 |
| ardchoille | terryx: this won't take you to the next ubuntu release, it just updates your sources | 05:05 |
| Zygot | Theshark: what router you got? | 05:05 |
| Haberdasher | The regular desktop LiveCD | 05:05 |
| terryx | before i was doing update my ubuntu gets corrupted and goes to shell while loading | 05:05 |
| Haberdasher | The name of the iso I downloaded is ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386 | 05:06 |
| Haberdasher | If that helps at all | 05:06 |
| ardchoille | terryx: I don't see how that can happen, update just refreshes your sources list, trust me, it's safe | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Haberdasher: ok... roger | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Haberdasher: i don't know what's wrong | 05:07 |
| terryx | are u sure?...because i am using wubi..like dual boot, install inside windows xp........ | 05:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Haberdasher: you should get a gui installer though when you're choosing to install | 05:07 |
| ardchoille | terryx: if you're not going to accept advice from people, how do you expect to resolve problems? | 05:08 |
| Haberdasher | Yeah, that's what I got on my desktop when I installed ubuntu, but I just end up at the terminal when I try on my laptop | 05:08 |
| terryx | ok i do that... | 05:08 |
| ardchoille | terryx: nevermind then | 05:08 |

| mortici | Haberdasher: do you get any error messages | 05:13 |
| shadowClone | hi | 05:13 |
| onetinsoldier | IndyGunFreak: he get a command prompt terminal when he clicks on install ubuntu to the hard drive on his laptop. he says the installer started ok for him on his dekstop system tho, but not working on his laptop | 05:13 |
| Haberdasher | Nope | 05:13 |
| mortici | what happens when you type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart? | 05:13 |
| mortici | minus the ? | 05:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | oneseventeen|afk: could just be some oddbal hardware.. its not that uncommon for some machines to have probs w/ the live CD.. thats why there's an alternate install CD. | 05:13 |
| Haberdasher | One second, rebooting my laptop and trying that | 05:13 |
| namespace | just out of curiosity, what are the instabilities with wubi? | 05:14 |
| mortici | you might not have the x system installed, lack of video drivers, lack of a login manager or lack of a desktop enviroment, which would mean you only got the base system installed :) | 05:14 |

| onetinsoldier | i take it he means other text | 05:15 |
| Haberdasher | But I accidentally installed it without a kernel, because I'm an idiot D: | 05:16 |
| mortici | Haberdasher: no such thing :) you just didn't know any better :) | 05:16 |
| vpew | a bunch of lines that look like this: | 05:16 |

| shiMMer | how to install flash player.i cant watching video on youtube.please help.. | 05:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | shadowClone: well, its a KDE app, so it may just not have been placed properly.. you can manually add it, or use an IRC client that doesn't suck (really, kvirc is awful) | 05:17 |
| vpew | what does that mean? | 05:17 |
| onetinsoldier | shadowClone: try starting it from command line. not everything goes to the gnome menu. you could also intall the 'menu' package, which you probably don't have installed. | 05:17 |
| mortici | id suggest running the command i told you first | 05:18 |
| namespace | uh..."netstat | less" | 05:18 |
| mortici | Haberdasher: then see what happens, and we will go from there | 05:18 |

| mib_cu7fh4j9 | or shutting down, rather | 05:34 |
| mortici | Haberdasher: do you have an amd64 proc? | 05:34 |

| mortici | Haberdasher: okie just making sure :D | 05:34 |
| Haberdasher | =) | 05:34 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: state your problem | 05:35 |
| Haberdasher | Thanks for your help, I'm off for the night, happy holidays! | 05:35 |
| namespace | yeah, that would suck if you waited 4+ hours for the d/l and then found out that it was the wrong file | 05:35 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | i press shut down, and i get a dialog that requirs me to put in my root password before it allows me to shut down | 05:35 |
| onetinsoldier | Haberdasher: good luck, merry christmas | 05:35 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: and when you enter the password, does it work? | 05:36 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | yeah | 05:36 |
| namespace | mib_cu7fh4j9: ok, so if it works, what is the problem? | 05:36 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | yes. i just don't understand why i need to put in my root password to shut down | 05:36 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | i have no other users so i don't think it's that | 05:37 |
| skar | hi, any one know of a utility that can show list of files on a jfs partition, if not recover? | 05:37 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | i need to put in a root password each time i want to shut down | 05:37 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | no matter how old the session is | 05:37 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | i wanted to try to diagnose what it is | 05:37 |
| CallumEEEPC | Hello can someone please help me with EEEUbuntu please? | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | interesting. i don't have to put my root password in to shut down, from X | 05:37 |
| * Haberdasher is back from the dead | 05:37 | |
| CallumEEEPC | How do you add windows to the task bar? | 05:37 |
| jblp | Merry Xmas everyone.! | 05:37 |
| Haberdasher | I just noticed something. When I installed ubuntu on my desktop, I had to create an ubuntu folder under C | 05:38 |
| CallumEEEPC | Like when you minizmize a window it doesnt sit on the task bar | 05:38 |
| onetinsoldier | jblp: merry christmas! | 05:38 |
| Haberdasher | With a bunch of files in it, would I have to do the same on my laptop? | 05:38 |
| jblp | Thank you | 05:38 |
| etan | presently i used ubuntu hardy, if i want ubuntu intrepid which one is better, upgrade hardy or fresh install | 05:38 |
| jblp | Just had to sign in my phone to send this message | 05:38 |
| jblp | Good night all | 05:38 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 05:38 |
| therealnanotube | CallumEEEPC: right click panel, select add to panel, choose "window list" | 05:38 |
| CallumEEEPC | ok ty | 05:38 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | it's kinda a new occurance for me too, it wasn't doing this a week ago. the root dialog thing has weird wording, too "system policy prevents stopping the when other users are logged in" | 05:39 |
| ogre | im lookin for where snort is located. how do i do that? 'locate snort'? | 05:39 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | stopping the when..\ | 05:39 |
| onetinsoldier | ogre: dpkg -L <package_name> | less | 05:39 |
| CallumEEEPC | ok that worked fine! | 05:39 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: what's your output of command "groups" | 05:39 |
| CallumEEEPC | Thanks so much | 05:39 |
| therealnanotube | CallumEEEPC: yw. :) | 05:39 |

| CallumEEEPC | hey do you know how to remove the AWN dock? or dock thing. | 05:40 |
| CallumEEEPC | I dont like it i just want a ubuntu theme | 05:40 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | @callum: sudo apt-get remove avant-windows navigator | 05:40 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | i believe | 05:40 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: hmm... so it's not a groups issue. dunno then... | 05:40 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | sorry, avant-windows-navigator | 05:41 |
| CallumEEEPC | Ok ty | 05:41 |
| CallumEEEPC | I will try that thanks :) | 05:41 |
| therealnanotube | CallumEEEPC: you could probably also just disable it from system -> preferences -> sessions (but uninstalling it like mib_cu7fh4j9 suggests sohuld also work) | 05:41 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | yw, make sure to take it out of your sessions, too | 05:41 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | system > preferences > sessions, look for anything that says Awn or Avant windows navigator and remove it | 05:42 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: go to system -> administration -> authorizations | 05:42 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: see if you have the shutdown auth... | 05:42 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | how do i check that? | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | VWhat is meant by 'kernel process'? | 05:43 |
| onetinsoldier | mib_cu7fh4j9: it's a gui.. up top, themenu up top | 05:43 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: it's listed there ("shutdown system..." items) | 05:43 |
| CallumEEEPC | on eeebuntu i dont have a sessions? | 05:43 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: under powermanagement group | 05:43 |
| onetinsoldier | mib_cu7fh4j9: it's a gui.. up top, the menu up top.... System --> Administration -> Authorizations | 05:43 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: also... since it says "prevents when other users are logged in"... why not check if any other users are logged in? run a "w" command in the terminal. maybe there are some users that shouldn't be there? | 05:44 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | therealnanotube: i'm sorry, i can't find it.. there are two panes, on the left there is a tree view with org and com (etc) and then the right has the details | 05:45 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | therealnanotube: ok! w shows 2 users | 05:45 |
| CallumEEEPC | hey anyone know how to get the UBUNTU clear looks theme please? | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | bullgard4: i'mnot sure i fully understand the question. maybe if i could understand what is causing you to ask this | 05:45 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: that's the one... ok, now...it's under org -> freedesktop -> hal -> power management | 05:45 |
| therealnanotube | CallumEEEPC: hmm, well, then don't worry about the sessions, just uninstall the package. | 05:46 |
| onetinsoldier | bullgard4: as in like, what are you trying to do? is this a message you're getting? | 05:46 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: but first, check with a "w" to see who else is logged in... | 05:46 |
| CallumEEEPC | Nano Tube do you know how to update the themes? i dont have the ubuntu wallpaper or clear looks theme :( | 05:47 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | therealnanotube: i did run 'w", there are 2 users | 05:47 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | however, they both are the same name (richard) | 05:47 |
| davenull | Hello everyone. :) | 05:47 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: ok, i assume that's you... one of them must be the one running x-session-manager, the other your terminal. ok, so no other users... well, find that shutdown authorization, and see what it says. | 05:47 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | not sure why there are two users, if i go to system > admin > users and groups there is only me and root | 05:48 |
| CallumEEEPC | Merry Xmas to you ALL also. | 05:48 |
| therealnanotube | CallumEEEPC: sorry, i've never played with themes, cuz i've always been happy with the default ubuntu theme. :) | 05:48 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | therealnanotube: which shut down authorization in particular | 05:48 |
| davenull | mib_cu7fh4j9: Each time you login, whether in X or via CLI, it shows your username. | 05:48 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | there are several under power-managment | 05:48 |
| CallumEEEPC | yeah I have also, yet i have eeebuntu a ubuntu thats made for eee pc out of the box | 05:48 |
| bullgard4 | onetinsoldier: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.suse.general.german/2003-05/msg03122.html says that 'ps -ef' displays 'kernel processes' in square brackets. | 05:49 |
| mortici | CallumEEEPC: you mean this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Clearlooks+Compact?content=69357 | 05:49 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: yea, there are two, one for "when multiple users are logged in", and one for just shutdown. look at both, doesn't hurt to see what they say. | 05:49 |
| onetinsoldier | bullgard4: ok, reading | 05:49 |
| brohken | hello there | 05:50 |
| CallumEEEPC | No it is a brown / orange theme/ | 05:50 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: compare the two. for me, i have the plain shutdown as "active console = yes", and the one with multiple sessions as "active console = admin authentication". i'm guessing that for some reason ubuntu thinks there are multiple users, so asking for admin auth. | 05:50 |
| onetinsoldier | bullgard4: i don't speak german though. however.... | 05:50 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | ok, for "multiple users" it doesn't look like anyone is granted permissions. for just shutdown, it looks the same | 05:50 |
| CallumEEEPC | Thanks for trying though, It comes default on Ubuntu 8.10 | 05:50 |
| akahige1 | my video performance has been borked since upgrading to Intrepid. my assumption has been that it's an xorg problem, but I'm wondering if it might be a kernel issue... anyone have a thought on that? | 05:50 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: this is not addressing the root cause (as in, WHY ubuntu thinks there are multiple users), but you can probably fix it by setting "active console = yes" in the multiple users shutdown autherization. | 05:51 |
| === quinn1 is now known as quinn2 | ||
| onetinsoldier | bullgard4: i think it means exactly what it says it means... it's a process that is running from kernel code, rather than from an application/program | 05:51 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | there only difference between the two is in multiple it says admin auth and the normal shutdown it only says "yes" | 05:51 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | so you want me to change the "admin auth" to yes | 05:51 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: right, that should fix the symptom, at least. | 05:52 |
| bullgard4 | onetinsoldier: So a 'kernel process' in your definition is a daughter process? | 05:53 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | therealnanotube: ok, thanks a lot for your patience! | 05:53 |
| onetinsoldier | bullgard4: think of it as the difference between a driver and a plain old regular program | 05:53 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: no prob, hope it helps :) | 05:53 |
| CallumEEEPC | See i have the CRUX theme etc, | 05:53 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | therealnanotube: i'm the only "user" on this computer so i don't particularly care why my computer thinks there are 2 users on | 05:53 |
| CallumEEEPC | But no Ubuntu 8.10 orange / brown theme | 05:53 |
| therealnanotube | mib_cu7fh4j9: well, yea... but i'm just curious :) | 05:54 |
| gaminggeek | anyone know if there is a way to get compiz to start after you have enabled compositing in metacity? | 05:54 |
| CallumEEEPC | May i aks what compiz is? | 05:54 |
| CallumEEEPC | ask* | 05:54 |
| gaminggeek | CallumEEEPC: you may it is "desktop effects" | 05:54 |
| CallumEEEPC | Oh Ok thanks! :) | 05:55 |
| gaminggeek | :) | 05:55 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | what's the command to rename again | 05:55 |
| mib_cu7fh4j9 | you handle, that is | 05:55 |
| onetinsoldier | mib_cu7fh4j9: mv | 05:55 |

| CallumEEEPC | The theme I want is Human! | 05:56 |
| CallumEEEPC | I don't have the theme Human! or the background :( | 05:56 |
| therealnanotube | sticky: what was wrong with mib_cu7fh4j9 ? | 05:56 |
| davenull | CallumEEEPC: You can find that one on gnome-look.org :) | 05:57 |
| bullgard4 | onetinsoldier: I know the difference between a driver and a plain old regular program. But I cannot see how this enlightens the meanin g of a kernel process. | 05:57 |
| davenull | bullgard4: What do you need to know? | 05:57 |
| CallumEEEPC | Ok i found the theme human and installed it | 05:59 |
| CallumEEEPC | yet the menu bars/desk top bars arent orange lol | 05:59 |
| CallumEEEPC | only the window is orange | 05:59 |
| davenull | bullgard4: A kernel process, simply put, is a process that is run in kernel space, and has access to kernel operations that a user process(one you or another user runs) does not have access to. | 05:59 |
| === quinn2 is now known as quinn1 | ||
| bullgard4 | davenull: I would like to know what is meant by 'kernel process'. | 06:00 |

| CallumEEEPC | the bar on top and bottom? | 06:01 |
| CallumEEEPC | or should i reboot? | 06:01 |
| davenull | bullgard4: Kernel processes are the processes the *are* the kernel itself, running on your system. | 06:02 |
| bullgard4 | davenull: Thank you very much for providing me this excellent definition. -- A happy Christmas to you. | 06:02 |

| poncho | hey, do you guys know anything about how to install linux on an iphone 3g | 06:24 |
| poncho | ? | 06:24 |
| poncho | well, merry Xstmas | 06:24 |
| Rakko | you too | 06:25 |
| chyea | hey all. is there a way to use apt-get install to install vi/vim with syntax highlighting option enabled? | 06:25 |
| Rakko | no idea about iphone | 06:25 |
| chyea | it seems the one it installed doesn't have this enabled. | 06:25 |
| chyea | or, compiled without it. | 06:25 |
| svensko_laptop | hello, does anyone here know how to extract an xorg.conf from a liveCD? | 06:25 |
| svensko_laptop | i looked at /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it isn't a proper xorg | 06:26 |
| Kira | which apt packages are responsible for providing the GNOME desktop environment? | 06:26 |
| davenull | chyea: You have to set it up in your ~/.vimrc file, or vim will not have hilighting. | 06:26 |
| Kira | "aptitude search gnome" hasn't revealed anything useful. | 06:26 |
| poncho | darn.. i want to install linux on my iphone, i've been trying without success | 06:26 |
| dishiwei | ÄĸöÊÇÖÐÎĵÄ? | 06:27 |
| chyea | davenull, but the "vi --version" command says that the syntax option is not available. when i do ":syntax on" it also says the same thing. | 06:27 |
| davenull | chyea: Be sure to install the 'vim-runtime' package, and then run 'vimtutor'. At the bottom is the path to the example .vimrc you can copy, hilighting is enabled on that. | 06:27 |
| ilmob | ok so after 7 grueling hours and much help I was advised that my computer boots to ipv6 vs ipv4 and in order for me to get the internet to work properly I have to get ipv4 with dhcp working. after 3 hours of researching I have come to nothing but dead ends is there anyone who can help? | 06:27 |
| davenull | chyea: VI, or vim? | 06:27 |
| chyea | vim, sorry. | 06:28 |
| davenull | chyea: Install 'vim-runtime', that is what has that option. | 06:28 |
| chyea | i made a alias for vi -> vim, so i've got a habbit of calling it that. =X | 06:28 |
| svensko_laptop | is there a way to exit X in the live CD? | 06:28 |
| svensko_laptop | to get to the framebuffer? | 06:28 |
| onetinsoldier | chyea: hi... what vim package(s) do you have installed... do, dpkg -l 'vim*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' | 06:29 |
| Kira | (nvm, I forgot to use "aptitude update" first after switching mirror) | 06:29 |
| DarkKnight | hey i installed drupal...though it apperas to be installed in the repository..still i can't find itin my applications list | 06:29 |
| davenull | svensko_laptop: <ctrl><alt><F1> | 06:29 |
| Tim__Reichhart | which hard drive would be best for smb server IDE or SATA? | 06:29 |
| svensko_laptop | davenull: i am interested in completely existing X | 06:29 |
| onetinsoldier | chyea: ok, never mind, i guess you got it figured out | 06:30 |
| svensko_laptop | i am attempting to use Xorg -configure to write a new xorg.conf to carry over to a different OS | 06:30 |
| chyea | onetinsoldier: i only have vim-tiny, and vim-common. will vim-runtime fix this? | 06:30 |
| svensko_laptop | i don't want to have to go through the effort of an install and all | 06:30 |
| davenull | svensko_laptop: Do that, then 'killall gnome && sudo killall gdm | 06:30 |
| davenull | svensko_laptop: No guarantees though, but since it is the live CD, no biggie. | 06:31 |
| svensko_laptop | gnome: no process killed | 06:31 |
| davenull | svensko_laptop: Hmmm... | 06:31 |
| svensko_laptop | is it possible to configure an xorg.conf while inside of X? | 06:31 |
| ilmob | please? I've spend over 10 hours just trying to get the internet to work:( | 06:31 |
| svensko_laptop | do you see what i'm trying to do? | 06:31 |
| freeagy | hi anibody know eeebuntu irc? | 06:31 |
| chyea | onetinsoldier, davenull: installing vim-runtime did not enable syntax highlighting. | 06:31 |
| DarkKnight | hey i installed drupal...though it apperas to be installed in the repository..still i can't find itin my applications list | 06:31 |
| davenull | chyea: What buntu version? | 06:31 |
| davenull | DarkKnight: Drupal is accesable from the web browser, it is a php cms, not an application. | 06:32 |
| freeagy | eeebuntu :) | 06:32 |
| rueffer | is there a program for an ipod | 06:32 |
| Demetrius | Hello :) | 06:33 |
| svensko_laptop | found the location! apparently it's in /var/log | 06:33 |
| chyea | davenull: hardy-something. i don't recall the exact version number - it was several months ago that i installed it. | 06:33 |
| hendershot | can anyone help me pick out a new linux distro for this computer here are the stats | 06:33 |

| voland | have anybody tried to set up network on VirtulaBox 2.1? I need to give internet access to guest using host interfase as a bridge | 06:34 |
| onetinsoldier | chyea: ok... then try, vim-full | 06:34 |
| DarkKnight | davenull; i have seen some people use drupal..and its easy to use them....so how do i access them from the browser | 06:34 |
| svensko_laptop | hendershot: puppylinux is pretty fast | 06:34 |
| svensko_laptop | 90 MB, loads directly into RAM | 06:34 |
| svensko_laptop | minimal set up, high ease of use | 06:34 |
| svensko_laptop | not the prettiest thing though | 06:34 |
| davenull | DarkKnight: It is like a website. http://localhost/drupal/ | 06:34 |
| hendershot | svensko_laptop: thank you,,, i was hoping that it like looks nice | 06:35 |
| onetinsoldier | chyea: yo do know that after you start vim you have to enter a 'vim command' to enable syntax highlighting.. correct? | 06:35 |
| onetinsoldier | you* | 06:35 |
| hendershot | is there anything that would look niec prefreably something like mac | 06:35 |
| svensko_laptop | you can't have 700 mhz, 300 mbs of ram, and a nice looking OS ;) | 06:35 |

| hendershot | svensko_laptop: my xp looked great | 06:36 |
| chyea | onetinsoldier: i know. i use vim every day at work, just not on ubuntu. i'm being lazy and not manually compiling. it looks like vim-full should do the trick. | 06:36 |
| hendershot | svensko_laptop: would SUSE look decent | 06:36 |
| onetinsoldier | chyea: ok, cool | 06:36 |
| svensko_laptop | are you worried about looks or speed? | 06:36 |
| hendershot | both | 06:36 |
| === mca is now known as yudha | ||
| svensko_laptop | i'm sorry but you must make a compromise... | 06:37 |
| hendershot | but mainly speed | 06:37 |
| chyea | wow, vim-full requires 115MB =( | 06:37 |
| hendershot | i need something that will run like on a old windows 98 computer and i mean old | 06:37 |
| davenull | onetinsoldier: Also, and entry in .vimrc enables it by default. | 06:37 |
| shavin | where can i fine tune colors and brightness of screen etc of my laptop in 8.10? | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | chyea, You might want vi-nox | 06:37 |
| shavin | *fine tune | 06:38 |
| onetinsoldier | davenull: true. i set that once a long time ago in the past. | 06:38 |
| svensko_laptop | hendershot: puppylinux CAN look good, if you modify it some | 06:38 |
| svensko_laptop | http://www.puppylinux.org/home/screenshots | 06:38 |
| Demetrius | I'm not online with the computer I installed Ubuntu...so online updates are out of the question???? Am I being unrealistic here? | 06:38 |
| chyea | Jordan_U: what's vi-nox? apt-cache search didn't list anything. | 06:38 |
| hendershot | svensko_laptop: thanks ill look it up what do you think about SUSE | 06:39 |
| svensko_laptop | SUSE will probably run poorly, it's fairly bloated | 06:39 |
| Demetrius | I need to install my Nvideea chipset driver disk...but I don't know how to do that within Ubuntu | 06:39 |
| svensko_laptop | with 700 mhz you really don't have a ton of options | 06:39 |
| ilmob | ok so after 7 grueling hours and much help I was advised that my computer boots to ipv6 vs ipv4 and in order for me to get the internet to work properly I have to get ipv4 with dhcp working. after 3 hours of researching I have come to nothing but dead ends is there anyone who can help? please i've been trying to get internet for 10 hours :( i'm currently on another laptop | 06:39 |
| hendershot | ahh | 06:39 |
| hendershot | so does puppy linux have a like how do you say good programs built in | 06:39 |
| Lillaka | hi there :) | 06:40 |
| onetinsoldier | hendershot: the best you probably going to be able todo for a compromise is xubuntu | 06:40 |
| Lillaka | and merry x-mas | 06:40 |
| svensko_laptop | puppy linux comes with text editors, an excel clone, xine to watch movies with, etc | 06:40 |
| hendershot | so like what im running now | 06:40 |
| hendershot | which is kubuntu | 06:40 |
| svensko_laptop | no... | 06:40 |
| svensko_laptop | KDE = bloat | 06:40 |
| Jordan_U | chyea, It's vim with no GUI | 06:40 |
| hendershot | huh | 06:40 |
| hendershot | so will it have a irc? | 06:41 |
| davenull | ilmob: Is this a fresh install? | 06:41 |
| svensko_laptop | it'll run slow, KDE uses a lot of resources | 06:41 |
| shavin | I hate to say it but i wish ubuntu graphical rendering was as sharp and clear as windows. Could you suggest something guys? | 06:41 |
| svensko_laptop | yes it has IRC | 06:41 |
| hendershot | yah i figured KDE blows balls once i messed with it | 06:41 |
| shavin | I am on ;acptop compaq 6710b, maybe its a drivers issue | 06:41 |

| hendershot | thanks svensko_laptop | 06:42 |
| davenull | ilmob: And did you have an ethernet cable plugged into the computer during the entire install? | 06:43 |
| ilmob | onetinsoldier: i am stupid and this is the first time I have ever used linux | 06:43 |
| svensko_laptop | hendershot: np :) | 06:43 |
| Lillaka | i have some problem to launch the game lbreakout 2, my monitor does not appreciate and tell me "out of range" (in full screen). I can't (or i dont know how) make it's execute in windowed version | 06:43 |
| greenfuji1 | i'd like to make by wireless card ip static. How can you do this? | 06:43 |
| ilmob | davenull: no it does not have an ethernet port | 06:43 |
| JDStone | and I need some advice | 06:43 |
| JDStone | alright, I'm creating my RAID 5 array | 06:43 |
| JDStone | and I need some advice | 06:43 |
| davenull | ilmob: Ok, how are you connecting to the internet? | 06:43 |
| JDStone | what should I set for the --layout option | 06:43 |

| garrett88 | greenfujil : i could be wrong but im pretty sure you can only control that thru your router. | 06:44 |
| P2E | merry christmas, all...I have a hopefully easy question.... I'm using 8.10 and just want ubuntu to start x and run something. no gdm, no window manager, no nothing except the app I choose. what do I need to change? | 06:44 |
| hendershot | hello Son_of_Demetrius | 06:44 |
| onetinsoldier | ilmob: you can use whatever editor you want, you don't have to use 'vi' | 06:44 |
| ilmob | onetinsoldier: I don't know what your talking about don;t I just type this in terminal? | 06:45 |
| ilmob | line by line | 06:45 |
| ilmob | ?? | 06:45 |
| davenull | ilmob: No, on the box with the issues? What kind of internet connection does it have, without ethernet, that leaves us with ISDN, tokenring, dial-up, and a few others. | 06:45 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | thx..4 the recognition hendershot :) | 06:45 |
| Lillaka | can someone tell me how to play that game in windowed mode (and not full beceause "out of range"-Syndrom) ? | 06:45 |
| Lillaka | I have Ubuntu 8.04 | 06:45 |
| ilmob | oh I use a wifi pcmcia adapter | 06:45 |
| ilmob | that works | 06:45 |
| hendershot | yah no problem Son_of_Demetrius | 06:45 |
| ilmob | all I need to know how to do is get ipv4 working | 06:45 |
| P2E | alternatively, I could start up in regular ol' text mode... | 06:45 |
| greenfuji1 | garrett88: on windows I would set the tcp/ip to have an ip address set, i.e. 192.168.1.5, then in my router I could set up port forwarding. Currently the wireless connects randomly to any ip within 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253. I'd like to set it. BTW, large turbo if thats what your nik is from | 06:46 |

| Lillaka | (or german) | 06:48 |

| svensko_laptop | yes and yes | 06:56 |
| ilmob | davenull: I assigned the ipaddress | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | svensko_laptop, Ubuntu just lets X configure almost everything on the fly, you might try running a liveCD of an older version of Ubuntu ( 6.06 is still supported ) which did do a lot of configuration in the Xorg.conf if you think that it will do a better job than puppy linux | 06:56 |
| svensko_laptop | i want one as it would be in archlinux or something similar | 06:56 |
| onetinsoldier | svensko_laptop: please precede any messages directed at me with my nick, ok? | 06:56 |
| ilmob | well someone just told me what to do before I went off and shot myself | 06:56 |
| ilmob | lol | 06:56 |
| svensko_laptop | onetinsoldier: sure | 06:56 |
| onetinsoldier | svensko_laptop: ok, thank you | 06:57 |
| Lillaka | peon: it's the same result but i see now in the termin where the game is installed (maybe there is a config data i can change) i will look | 06:57 |
| davenull | ilmob: Un-assign that, then run ifconfig wlan0 down && ifconfig wlan0 up. | 06:57 |
| sidney | i have no sound in ubuntu 8.10 | 06:57 |
| ilmob | how do I unassign it?\ | 06:57 |
| onetinsoldier | svensko_laptop: i will give you instruction to follow in a just a moment | 06:57 |
| svensko_laptop | onetinsoldier: thank you | 06:57 |
| davenull | ilmob: How did you assign it? | 06:57 |
| ilmob | I can't remember someone just told me how and I tyoed it I actually had no idea what I was doing | 06:58 |
| greenfuji1 | sidney: more info please | 06:58 |
| onetinsoldier | svensko_laptop: How-To get a full /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: | 06:58 |
| leeram207 | ok | 06:58 |
| hendershot | greenfuji1: i like linux alot.. its just im so used to the way xp looks and evverything im just like mainly trying to redo the hard drive with puppy linux on it and just redo everything again lol because some how i burned the iso file wrong and now my display is all messed up. i could try to upload a pic for you of what mine looks like now but it would take a while. what distro are you running? | 06:58 |
| onetinsoldier | 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console termminal 4) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (ie invoke-rc.d gdm stop, this shuts down x-windows completely) 5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory) | 06:58 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Silly question...how can I get my hands on an insruction manual for Ubunt 8.10...then I'll leave you all in peace:) | 06:58 |
| davenull | ilmob: Can you run 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' and paste me the output? | 06:58 |
| onetinsoldier | 6) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old 7) sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 8) now it's time to try your new xorg.conf file by starting x-windows back up --> sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> start | 06:59 |
| davenull | Son_of_Demetrius: The Ubuntu forums, that is the manual, also google ubuntu geek/ | 06:59 |
| greenfuji1 | hendershot: ultimate edition 2.0 gamers | 06:59 |
| peon | Lillaka: personal config data ussualy in your home hidden directory. like .lbreakout_config or something like that you can modify it's content or you can just remove it | 06:59 |
| leeram207 | i'm not good at this | 06:59 |
| onetinsoldier | svensko_laptop: example --> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 06:59 |
| hendershot | greenfuji1: can you help me try to find a package for the kubuntu | 07:00 |
| hendershot | greenfuji1: because i have slow internet :[ | 07:00 |
| davenull | leeram207: You will be, we all started knowing nothing :) | 07:00 |
| sidney | ik the aydigy is listed in systen>preferences>sound but not connected and my speaker icon has a red icon over it | 07:00 |
| Lillaka | peon: yes the terminal say me that the game is in usr/share/games/lbreakout2 | 07:00 |
| ilmob | davenull: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92639 | 07:00 |
| greenfuji1 | hendershot: I'll have a google | 07:00 |
| davenull | ilmob: Thanks :) | 07:01 |
| sidney | No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found i get that error | 07:01 |
| greenfuji1 | sidney: right click speaker icon and see if its muted | 07:01 |
| ilmob | davenull: no thank you | 07:01 |
| davenull | ilmob: You dont have an entry in that for the interface, that is why it doesnt work. | 07:01 |
| leeram207 | good by!!! | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | hendershot, greenfuji1 "Ultimate Edition" is a poor hack of a distro, I don't recommend it if you want anything remotely stable or secure | 07:01 |
| hendershot | greenfuji1: thank you very much and also take a look at the puppy linux there like a few things on there that look like vista and xp | 07:01 |
| Lillaka | peon: but no config data :( | 07:02 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | ubuntu geek...I'll track that davenull...thank you for replying...but just one very quick agonizing question b4 I bid you all goodnight and sweet dreams...how can I laod my chipset driver cd onto Ubuntu 8.10? | 07:02 |
| sidney | no not muted | 07:02 |
| ilmob | davenull: that's all greek to me lol | 07:02 |
| hendershot | Jordan_U: i dont think my computer would even work very well on ultimate | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | sidney, What is the output of "asoundconf list" ? | 07:02 |
| hendershot | Sysinfo for 'Hendershot-desktop': Linux 2.6.27-7-generic running KDE 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), CPU: VIASamuel2 at 700 MHz (1403 bogomips), HD: 2/11GB, RAM: 358/367MB, 123 proc's, 16.53h up | 07:02 |
| greenfuji1 | jordan_U: hows so? I thought it being based on ubuntu 8.10 it would be fine. I am new to this so appreciate the input | 07:02 |
| T1 | how do i delete the temp internet files in ubuntu | 07:03 |
| ilmob | davenull: how would I fix that? | 07:03 |
| davenull | ilmob: Run 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces', then add these two lines at the bottom. http://paste.ubuntu.com/92642/ | 07:03 |
| sidney | with the quotes? | 07:03 |
| easwar | T1: go through clear private data in Edit>>Preferences>>Privacy in FF | 07:03 |
| sidney | i get no out put | 07:04 |
| davenull | Son_of_Demetrius: Why do you need to, the hardware drivers are built into the kernel :) | 07:04 |
| shavin | Jordan_U: I am not very technical, what i meant was the colours, the brightness, the sharpness. In addition to this my past experience with ubuntu on various machines has been that there has always been some amount of graphical corruption in some form. For example when a window opens, when the window is drawn. Last to last year ubuntu used to hang up when a window was launched. It was... | 07:04 |
| shavin | ...attributed to some bug with AMD machines plus some motherboard chipset issue too. | 07:04 |
| Lillaka | peon: i have tryed to remove definitely the game, but it seems that the "full screen option" stay anywhere (and cause out of range) | 07:04 |
| T1 | easwar: how about scanning for trojons and spybots how do i do that? | 07:04 |
| Lillaka | peon: remove by synaptic | 07:04 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I have an extrnal Edirol scd...how do I install it? | 07:05 |
| easwar | T1: you don't need to scan for viruses in linux | 07:05 |
| ilmob | davenull: that command took me to this menu | 07:05 |
| xorlim | T1: www.chkrootkit.org | 07:05 |
| ilmob | where would I type in those lines | 07:05 |
| T1 | easwar: whsy is that? | 07:05 |
| shavin | This time around too, when i open firefox there is a corrupted grahic drawn for a moment befiore the full window comes up. its for a second only but it is there | 07:05 |
| easwar | yeah, that's the best you can do T1 as xorlim said | 07:05 |
| davenull | sidney: Are you running hardy or interpid, if so, try 'killall pulseaudio && pulse audio' press <alt>F2 to get the run box. | 07:05 |
| davenull | ilmob: Ok, what do you see right now? | 07:06 |
| easwar | T1: viruses don't affect linux,the ones that do have already been neutralized | 07:06 |
| peon | Lillaka: you remove it and then install it again? | 07:06 |
| ilmob | davenull: I'll paste hold on | 07:06 |
| easwar | the holes that they target,I meant T1 | 07:06 |
| Lillaka | peon: yes. one time remove and one time remove definitely (all actions made by synaptic) | 07:06 |

| Lillaka | peon: or it is a refresh problem ? (in this case how to know what is supported by the monitor) | 07:08 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | davenull...if I connect my usb scd will Ubuntu 8.10 pick it up immediately?...stewpid question here | 07:08 |
| idefine | is intel 4965agn not supported in 8.10 | 07:08 |
| davenull | ilmob: That is nano, our friendly text editor, just move with the arrow keys, and type EXACLTY wht I paseted you, then press control+x, and press 'y' to save it. | 07:08 |
| Lillaka | peon: ok i try first remove .lgames | 07:08 |
| davenull | It should, Son_of_Demetrius . | 07:08 |

| ilmob | davenull: lines 9&10 you mean? type it in those lines? | 07:09 |
| hendershot | easwar: just on here and the internet | 07:09 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I'll try...because my bro disabled onboard audio on my computer...I don't understand what it's about at the minute | 07:10 |
| Lillaka | peon: result of remove .lgames => bash remove not found | 07:10 |
| peon | Lillaka: or you can try edit it. there is a section "fullscreen >> 1" try change it to "fullscreen >> 0" | 07:10 |
| easwar | hendershot: ohk,KDE version? | 07:10 |

| === eric is now known as Guest39186 | ||
| Lillaka | peon: but now i have made: rm -rf ~/.lgames | 07:12 |

| greenfuji1 | davenull: nope, how do I do that? | 07:12 |
| Lillaka | peon: outpout was nothing | 07:12 |
| easwar | hendershot: as I said,I don't know why that happened and I probably can't help you,I'm usually about installs aand partitioning | 07:12 |
| ilmob | davenull: this I just did in the pate but is this what you want me to type exactly into the text editor? I just need to know 'where' to type it - http://paste.ubuntu.com/92646 | 07:12 |
| davenull | greenfuji1: type 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' | 07:12 |

| P2E | ok, this is awesome, when I'm *in* X, I have no sound. when I'm not, I have sound. I can literally play something in X and hit ctrl-alt-F2 to drop to a terminal, and X is running with the sound app, and the sound starts, and go back to X, and my sound cuts. | 07:13 |
| davenull | ilmob: It is just like notepad, at the bottom of the page, just start typing. | 07:13 |

| hendershot | easwar: thanks anyways :] | 07:13 |

| easwar | Lillaka: just fyi,too | 07:14 |
| Lillaka | easwar: thanks :) | 07:14 |
| onetinsoldier | Lillaka: you won't receive any output from the command. for output it would have had to be like this rm -rfv ~/l.games | 07:14 |
| ilmob | davenull: you have to go very elementary with me do I just use the down arrow to go as far down as possible and start typeing these lines?: | 07:14 |
| greenfuji1 | davenull: it comes up with Reconfiguring network interfaces... SIODELRT: No such process | 07:14 |

| Son_of_Demetrius | davenull...I have sound...thx...what about installing let's say Audacity..or EAC?...how do I do that...pleasae? | 07:21 |

| ilmob | davenull: I did and then it kept looping me around to ask if I wanted to save changes I said yes and it would take me back to the same screen so I just alt+f4 it | 07:22 |

| greenfuji | well not sure. Still trying to get port forwarding working and thats not, but getting the wireless card ip to static is the first start. could be a router issue | 07:24 |

| easwar | hendershot: you have partitioned your drive already for dual boot? | 07:29 |
| davenull | ilmob: You werent root, you didnt have permission to write the file, so you couldnt. | 07:30 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: i think i must talk to my monitor and say him that if he continues => no gift for chrismas ! | 07:30 |
| easwar | Lillaka: lol | 07:30 |
| ilmob | how do I get to root | 07:30 |
| davenull | ilmob: The 'sudo' part is what does that. | 07:30 |
| hendershot | easwar: my drive is partitioned only for kubuntu | 07:30 |
| |peon| | Lillaka: LOL | 07:30 |
| tthorpe | kinda have a complex problem | 07:30 |
| tthorpe | for me at least | 07:30 |
| davenull | ilmob: It runs the command after it on that line as root. | 07:30 |
| tthorpe | I don't think I installed things properly | 07:30 |
| easwar | tthorpe: cut to the chase | 07:30 |
| shiMMer | any1 know what application same with wine.i need install windows game. | 07:31 |
| tthorpe | can't seem to find the big hard drive | 07:31 |
| tthorpe | and I don | 07:31 |
| davenull | ilmob: Understand? | 07:31 |
| ilmob | davenull: ok what do I do now? | 07:31 |
| |peon| | Lillaka: your screen resolution only support up to 800x600? | 07:31 |
| tthorpe | I wanted to put the /home partition on it | 07:31 |
| davenull | ilmob: Do 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces', then add the lines from http://paste.ubuntu.com/92642/. | 07:31 |
| easwar | hendershot: then you need to create partitions for puppy too | 07:31 |
| tthorpe | but I did the quick install thing | 07:31 |
| ilmob | davenull: not at all but I'm coming up to my 12 hour I just need it to work now figure it out later | 07:31 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: in the control panel of my monitor i see that he is using 1024 and 59.91 Hz | 07:31 |
| tthorpe | and when I look at the FS I don't see the big drive at all. | 07:31 |
| bork | After reinstalling Intrepid: when my laptop comes out of suspend, the wireless networks that I expect do not show up in network-manager's tools, and I can't connect to them. Everything works before suspending, though. Does anyone know how I could fix this? | 07:31 |
| tthorpe | chase cut | 07:31 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: no he supports (me and) 1024 | 07:31 |
| davenull | ilmob: Ok, good luck, if you do that last line I sent you, and reboot, it should work. | 07:31 |
| hendershot | easwar: how do i creat a partion? | 07:32 |
| easwar | hendershot: install GParted | 07:32 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: the genome of my display is FP563 | 07:32 |
| easwar | sudo apt-get install gparted | 07:32 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: (don't know his parents but...) | 07:32 |
| davenull | ilmob: If it does not work, run ifconfig, if you see an ipv4 address that starts with 169, you typed your wireless router password wrong. | 07:32 |
| easwar | hendershot: ^^ | 07:32 |
| Rakko^ | Hi. I'm in Intrepid (LiveCD)... but my hard drives don't show up. At all. As in, there are no /dev/hd* files. Help, please. | 07:32 |
| tthorpe | is there sometihng like quicksilver for ubuntu | 07:33 |
| Guest39186 | at this point im running 1GB 900 mhz Amd athlon | 07:33 |
| Guest39186 | Ram shouldnt be the problemo | 07:33 |
| ilmob | davenull: I took off all encryption atm to just get on the internet | 07:33 |
| buttercups | Guest39186, 700? cards to old and not supported, use the open source drivers if you want desktop effects | 07:33 |
| Guest39186 | 7000 | 07:33 |
| hendershot | easwar: Gparted how in the heck do i get that | 07:33 |
| |peon| | hmmm... | 07:33 |
| easwar | tthorpe: what's quicksilver do?search?beagle and tracker | 07:33 |
| davenull | ilmob: Ok, and you should change the ssid(name) of your network too, when we get it all fixed. | 07:33 |
| easwar | hendershot: no internet? | 07:33 |
| Guest39186 | 7000 wont support the open source drivers | 07:33 |
| ilmob | yes I know | 07:33 |
| ilmob | I also need to get it on wpa | 07:33 |
| tthorpe | so on the second hard drive issue | 07:33 |
| tthorpe | and can I move my home partition? | 07:34 |
| davenull | ilmob: That can come later, now is just internet. | 07:34 |
| ilmob | I changed it to ilmob because it was just easier | 07:34 |
| tthorpe | should I have set this up differently? | 07:34 |
| easwar | tthorpe: put sudo fdisk -l and paste link to paste here | 07:34 |
| Flannel | !separatehome | tthorpe | 07:34 |
| ubottu | tthorpe: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 07:34 |
| davenull | ilmob: So, where are you at on this right now? | 07:34 |
| hendershot | 2.261 | 07:34 |
| easwar | Flannel: thanks | 07:34 |
| hendershot | http://puppylinux.com/download/release-4.1.2.htm | 07:34 |

| hendershot | no i have internet its jujst im having a hard time thinking at thse moment | 07:35 |
| ilmob | oh god | 07:35 |
| easwar | hendershot: then connect,open konsole and sudo apt-get install gparted | 07:35 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: (i really thakes off the gift for my monitor) | 07:35 |
| ilmob | davenull: again the loop | 07:35 |
| shiMMer | ubuntu just allowed one download running?? | 07:35 |
| bullgard4 | Rakko^: And if you are trying to boot this computer without a Live CD, is this possible? | 07:35 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | davenull...please..."couldn't find package'...what's that mean? | 07:35 |
| ilmob | ctrl x and then y and I get right back to the same place | 07:35 |
| davenull | ilmob: Ok, you are on ubuntu right? | 07:35 |
| easwar | Lillaka: really no idea.... |peon| | 07:35 |
| ilmob | xubuntu | 07:35 |
| tthorpe | I'm trying to use this computer as a media center, I have a 30 gig raptor drive I'm using as the OS drive and a 300 Gig drive I am using as the storage drive... | 07:35 |
| ilmob | but yes | 07:36 |
| hendershot | ok thanks easwar | 07:36 |
| Rakko^ | bullgard4, yes. it normally runs an old Debian and boots fine. | 07:36 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: whats the command rm things again ? | 07:36 |
| tthorpe | so I'm guessing I should put the home folder on the second drive right? | 07:36 |
| ilmob | ok ok I thnilmob k it may have worked | 07:36 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I typed in 'sudo apt-get...what's the correct parameter after that? | 07:37 |
| easwar | tthorpe: if you wish,and if you do wish,check the link given by Flannel | 07:37 |
| bullgard4 | Rakko^: And can you find the hard disk as /dev/sd*? | 07:37 |
| ilmob | davenull: I think it may have worked | 07:37 |
| easwar | Lillaka: rm <whatever you want to delete> | 07:37 |
| ilmob | what do i do now? | 07:37 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Without quotes of course | 07:37 |
| easwar | Lillaka: only it won't go to Trash to recover later,it'll permanently delete | 07:37 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: peon has give me a command to delete a file or something and the game was working again in windowed mode | 07:38 |

| Guest39186 | anyone have a good xorg file for radeon 7000? | 07:39 |
| easwar | Rakko^: 8.04 onwards(or was it 7.10) all HDDs are referred to as sd* | 07:39 |
| greenfuji | peon, davenull, onetinsoldier: thank you all a lot for helping me today. In 2 days I have learnt heaps about linux. Not sure what to do about Jordan_U comment about ultimate edition, buggered if I want to do all this setup again. Thanks again guys. | 07:39 |
| Rakko^ | bullgard4, but why doesn't the LiveCD mount them automatically? | 07:39 |
| buttercups | Guest39186, I meant to say 7000, its slow because your trying to use fglrx with that card which is unsupported | 07:39 |
| davenull | ilmob: Try 'sudo mousepad /etc/network/interfaces', that should work. | 07:39 |
| onetinsoldier | greenfuji: :-) | 07:39 |

| Lillaka | easwar and peon: ok now it works again in windowed mode (no way to configure from software to try other modes) | 07:40 |
| Rakko^ | and how do I go about mounting the hard drives without specifying -t fstype? Does Ubuntu use anything like automount? | 07:40 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: thanks very much :) it was helpfull | 07:40 |
| hendershot | easwar: its 2:40 am here :} | 07:41 |

| davenull | hendershot: Same here. | 07:41 |
| easwar | hendershot: better off to bed | 07:41 |
| bullgard4 | Rakko^: I do not know why the Live CD does not mount the sd* devices automatically. | 07:41 |
| Guest39186 | actually im not using fglrx at least i dont think i am how do i check | 07:41 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: nice christmas to you two | 07:41 |
| easwar | Guest39186: fglrx=restricted driver | 07:41 |
| hendershot | davenull: where are you.. state? | 07:41 |
| easwar | Lillaka: happy christmas to you too,a similar solution should work for the other games too | 07:42 |
| Lillaka | easwar and peon: and if someone whants to pay me another monitor... ;) | 07:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Rakko^: i suppose you could take a look at the following packages --> afuse, autofs | 07:42 |
| davenull | bullgard4: It is by default, if it were to mount those filesystems, it would expose your system to the possibility of damage, the exact opposite of what a liveCD does. | 07:42 |
| |peon| | Lillaka: yup, now go play with lbearkout! enjoy! :) | 07:42 |

| davenull | Son_of_Demetrius: sudo apt-get install audacity, that is how to install it. | 07:44 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | sudo apt-get...and then how do I type the filenname? | 07:44 |
| tthorpe | how do I give only one user SSH access and force key file use? | 07:44 |
| bullgard4 | Rakko^: Ubuntu is using its own outomounting mechanism. It deviates from Debian's. It is in constant development. I do not know all details. Ubuntu's automount is not quite clear to me. The aim is to make automounting as easy as possible to a neophyte. But Ubuntu's documentation is lacking in pace. (At least that is my impression.) | 07:44 |
| Guest39186 | so what is the open source driver for my card then and how do i get it or install it? | 07:44 |
| davenull | Rakko^: That is by default. | 07:44 |
| tthorpe | the how to is not helpful | 07:44 |
| Rakko^ | is that behavior built into gparted? or did I do something else to trigger it? | 07:44 |

| davenull | ilmob: And that is the default for Ubuntu, no settings changes are needed, just put the CD in the drive, boot off of it, and click install on the desktop, you will have internet in 20 minutes. | 07:54 |
| ilmob | I can't boot off it | 07:54 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | @easwar...don't laugh ok?...Win98 | 07:54 |

| easwar | Son_of_Demetrius: I'm not laughing,go to packages.ubuntu.com | 07:55 |
| ilmob | I didn't install it my friend did | 07:55 |
| ilmob | because installing on a pcgc1vp is not easy | 07:55 |
| onetinsoldier | davenull: she didn't install it.she said some friend in china did it | 07:55 |
| davenull | ilmob: I have one too, the install takes 30 minutes, you just click next a few times. | 07:55 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I'll try that easwar...tx again :) | 07:55 |
| easwar | Son_of_Demetrius: search for audacity,and download the packages which are shown | 07:55 |
| ilmob | apparently that's not what you do I tried installing ubuntu and it wouldn't install before | 07:55 |
| ilmob | he went into this whole text based thing | 07:55 |
| ilmob | I don't know how to do all that | 07:56 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | ok...I'm a very slow learner...but I try to get there | 07:56 |

| kishore | hi how can i mount .iso file in ubuntu 8.10 | 07:56 |
| easwar | Son_of_Demetrius: transfer to flash drive,take it over to Mom's house,then run dpkg -i on them | 07:56 |
| ilmob | I don't have a CD or a way to get one overnight though | 07:56 |
| ilmob | and I need it tomorrow | 07:56 |
| ilmob | I had no idea it would take 12 hours of hell | 07:56 |
| davenull | ilmob: Just go to Ubuntu.com, and download the image, if you have a burner. | 07:56 |
| ilmob | I don't | 07:56 |
| ilmob | or a cd | 07:57 |
| sidney | sudu is the command for superuser? | 07:57 |
| ilmob | and I'm telling you when we didn't use the alternate installer it did NOT work | 07:57 |
| easwar | kishore: sudo mount -t /dev/loop0 or something,google will throw up good results | 07:57 |
| ilmob | we tried and it failed | 07:57 |

| shiMMer | how can i install metasploit framework??what to sudo? | 08:28 |
| Canaen | All of Ubuntu's help files for Wireless seem to point to an application called Network Manager. Synaptic says I have it installed, but I can't find it. It's not where it should be, in System > Admin > Network Manager. I have Network Configurations and Network Tools, but I can't find this thing for the life of me. I can't add it to the menu either, I just can't find it! | 08:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Son_of_Demetrius: go to the directory containing the .deb package you want to install. then do --> sudo dpkg -i <package_name> | 08:28 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Programs have an executable file...shouldn't they open automatically?...sorry onetinsoldier...what's a deb package...patience please for a very slow learner :) | 08:28 |
| ilmob | same issue | 08:29 |
| Slart | Canaen: check the upper right corner for a symbol with 2 computers | 08:29 |
| shiMMer | how can i install metasploit framework??what to sudo? | 08:29 |
| ilmob | before when I went to nm=applet it would list all available networks | 08:29 |
| ilmob | nm-applet | 08:29 |
| Canaen | Slart: it's there, but it doesn't do anything | 08:29 |
| easwar | Son_of_Demetrius: Have you downloaded the packages?? | 08:29 |
| ilmob | noe I get nothing | 08:29 |
| Slart | !repeat | shiMMer | 08:29 |

| Slart | Canaen: or left-clicking for that matter? | 08:29 |
| easwar | kishore: please google search for what I told you | 08:29 |
| Canaen | Slart - it works, it doesn't give me the screens I'm supposed to get | 08:30 |
| ronhalfdanr | how do I reset file & folder permissions when it says I don't own them? | 08:30 |
| |peon| | ilmob: that's wierd... | 08:30 |
| Slart | Canaen: and what screens are you supposed to get? | 08:30 |
| joeb3_ | ronhalfdanr, sudo | 08:30 |
| hyperb0lix | ronhalfdanr: Use the chmod command | 08:30 |
| easwar | ronhalfdanr: become the owner | 08:30 |
| easwar | hyperb0lix: ronhalfdanr doesn't own the file,so chmod will come back with permission denied | 08:31 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: sudo chown then sudo chmod. man chmod and man chown for more documentation goodness | 08:31 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Sorry guys...I'm so confused...I need to download packages right?...can I download them here on this pc...save them to disk...and install them on my Mom's pc? | 08:31 |
| onetinsoldier | Son_of_Demetrius: yes | 08:31 |
| easwar | Son_of_Demetrius: yes,but have you downloaded them yet? | 08:31 |
| PokerFacePenguin | !.deb | 08:31 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 08:31 |
| Canaen | Slart - it has no options for wireless when I left-click. When I right-click, I'm suposed to be able to setup a new wireless connection, enter a network key and hit connect. But I don't get a spot to enter a network key, or a button to click connect. Instead it just opens a Network Connections screen to edit already-existing connections | 08:31 |
| hyperb0lix | easwar: Which is precisely why both our comments work when combined | 08:31 |
| ronhalfdanr | what's driving me nuts is A-I created the folder, B- the permissions were correct, C-yesterday's update hosed it all up | 08:31 |
| N3XT | anyone wanna trade shells plz pm me | 08:31 |

| ilmob | no i simply deleted the lines you told me to add | 08:33 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | nitey-nite :) | 08:33 |
| easwar | ronhalfdanr: then change the permissions as you wish | 08:33 |
| Canaen | Slart - thank you!!! | 08:33 |
| shiMMer | any1 cant answer me?/ | 08:33 |
| davenull | ilmob: The reason you dont see networks is because your wifi card froze, a restart will fix that. | 08:33 |
| ronhalfdanr | so DRV7_VOL1/foldername? | 08:34 |
| shiMMer | how can i install metasploit framework??what to sudo? | 08:34 |
| Slart | shiMMer: just repeat the question every 5 minutes or so if you don't get an answer | 08:34 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: Why? | 08:34 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: I hope you're testing your own boxes | 08:34 |
| onetinsoldier | ronhalfdanr: this stuff is on a dvd? | 08:34 |
| ilmob | davenull: no, I couldn't see anything went in deleted the lines you told me to add before and all of a sudden it worked so those lines broke it | 08:34 |
| davenull | shiMMer: Do you know how to use that? | 08:34 |
| easwar | ronhalfdanr: more likely /media/DRV_VOL1/foldername | 08:34 |
| shiMMer | i need to learn | 08:34 |
| davenull | ilmob: That is normal, just restart. | 08:34 |
| |peon| | shiMMer: have you tried the manual? | 08:34 |
| easwar | |peon| +1 | 08:35 |
| ilmob | but I still can't just use that assigned ip because if I go to a hostel in china that ip might not work | 08:35 |
| davenull | shiMMer: Do you know how to use apt or synaptic? | 08:35 |
| shiMMer | i try make,sudo make.not work | 08:35 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: You shouldn't need to compile it: it's Ruby | 08:35 |
| |peon| | easwar: ? | 08:35 |
| easwar | seconding you |peon| | 08:35 |
| davenull | ilmob: Dont worry, just restart, the last command I gave you foxed your settings, just restart. | 08:35 |
| shiMMer | how can i run t then? | 08:35 |
| easwar | about trying the manual | 08:35 |
| shiMMer | no need to install? | 08:36 |
| ronhalfdanr | no onetinsoldier it's a 1TB drive | 08:36 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: No, no need to install | 08:36 |
| onetinsoldier | ronhalfdanr: ok, roger | 08:36 |
| ilmob | ok | 08:36 |
| ronhalfdanr | and I get no such file or directory | 08:36 |
| ilmob | it's still booting | 08:36 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: Make sure you're root and run one of the msf* programs; msfconsole is a good start | 08:36 |
| |peon| | easwar: i dont know what you mean | 08:36 |
| ronhalfdanr | why is it half the updates screwup my previously set permissions? | 08:36 |
| easwar | ronhalfdanr: you will have to put the proper path | 08:36 |
| |peon| | easwar: oh, i see. lol | 08:37 |
| easwar | |peon|: I seconded you telling shiMMer about reading the manual | 08:37 |
| ronhalfdanr | I think I did easwar | 08:37 |
| ronhalfdanr | unless there's stuff in front of /media | 08:37 |
| shiMMer | msf,msfconsole=not found | 08:37 |
| easwar | ronhalfdanr: what do you want to change the permisssions for? | 08:37 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: If you're doing something illegitimate, then it was a mistake to help you | 08:37 |
| davenull | shiMMer: You need to install metasploit then. | 08:37 |
| shiMMer | i didnt get my answer for installing metasploit framework :( | 08:38 |
| ronhalfdanr | oh just the basics like being able to write to a folder I created and have been writing to for weeks until the latest update | 08:38 |
| Flannel | shiMMer: Metasploit isn't supported by Ubuntu, you're best off asking in their support channels | 08:38 |
| * dr_willis dosent even know what MetaSploit is. | 08:38 | |
| shiMMer | that what i need..IT NOT SUPPORT | 08:39 |
| Slart | Canaen: ok.. when you left click on the network manager, you don't see some wireless networks? | 08:39 |
| hyperb0lix | dr_willis: Script kiddie's wet dream | 08:39 |
| Canaen | nope | 08:39 |
| dr_willis | hyperb0lix, thats what i was 'guessing' but dident know. :) | 08:39 |
| Canaen | list of wireless networks | 08:39 |
| Flannel | shiMMer: You need to ask the metasploit people, not here. Metasplot isn't in Ubuntu | 08:39 |
| Canaen | slant- but I'm right underneath my router | 08:39 |
| hyperb0lix | dr_willis: It's an exploit framework; it's useful for writing exploits... or using the prepackaged ones aimlessly | 08:39 |
| dr_willis | I imagine it has a homepage/forum/docs :) | 08:39 |

| easwar | shiMMer: no paid support here,if you know what I mean | 08:40 |
| Canaen | Is there any way to test if my wireless driver is working or not? | 08:40 |
| Slart | Canaen: hmm.. and if you select "create new wireless connection" | 08:40 |
| hyperb0lix | Err, blindly* | 08:40 |
| easwar | shiMMer: can't complain about non-support | 08:40 |
| Slart | Canaen: and select a security option... you don't get a "password" box? | 08:40 |
| hyperb0lix | Actually, it can be useful to pentesters, I guess... but it certainly makes skiddies' jobs easier | 08:40 |
| ronhalfdanr | DRV7_VOL1/WWI camo done | 08:40 |
| Canaen | slart - there's no create new under the left click. The closest is to right-click, and add a connection under wireless. But still no connect button, and it never does | 08:41 |
| Canaen | slart - my network is open | 08:41 |

| davenull | ilmob: :) | 08:42 |
| Canaen | davenull - nope. Ubuntu doesn't seem to think it exists, even though added it in manually | 08:42 |
| ilmob | so then how do we get wpa and all that? | 08:42 |
| ilmob | will it just work? | 08:42 |
| Slart | Canaen: hmm.. you're sure your wireless network card is working alright? | 08:42 |
| hyperb0lix | ilmob: Yes, it should just work with NetworkManager | 08:43 |
| davenull | ilmob: Go get some sleep, you are done, setup your router for wpa, everything else is ready for it on the laptop. | 08:43 |
| basileus | andrewfree: use screen | 08:43 |
| Canaen | slart - it was right before I switched to ubuntu. I was running XP. How would I tell if it's not? | 08:43 |

| andrewfree | basileus: what | 08:43 |
| davenull | ilmob: Did you get my PM? | 08:44 |
| ronhalfdanr | and of course it won't let me create new folders or rename old ones | 08:44 |
| Slart | Canaen: I'm not really sure.. since I haven't been messing with wireless that much.. on my laptop it just worked out of the box.. guess I'm lucky | 08:44 |
| ronhalfdanr | why is it every other updates screws this basic function and what I have already setup how I want it up? | 08:44 |
| Zygot | ilmob/davenull: what was wrong? (I had him up on a static IP?) | 08:44 |

| ronhalfdanr | it's stupid things like updates hosing already set permissions that make people go back to windows | 08:46 |

| ilmob | i think it's ok now | 08:46 |
| basileus | andrewfree: no screen u need is a program =) | 08:46 |
| hyperb0lix | ronhalfdanr: I know exactly what you mean :/ | 08:46 |
| Makmmr | and also i cannot ping him - while he can ping me | 08:46 |
| andrewfree | basileus: oh found it :P | 08:46 |
| davenull | Zygot: Had to run a dpkg reconfigure on netbase, and reboot :) | 08:47 |
| ronhalfdanr | basic operating system keeps "breaking" when they update it | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, Sounds like his machine may be not responjding to pings. I would suggest telling the channel more info - like How is he trying to access your machine. SSH? Ftp? | 08:47 |
| Zygot | Wow, OK, easy enough. | 08:47 |
| ronhalfdanr | I'd really much rather be getting work done than fixing stupid problems | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, also you may want to start up a 'notes' web page/pastebin site. with information from ping tests and ip# and so forth. this can get hard to trouble shoot at times. | 08:48 |

| hyperb0lix | wartalker: Try to locate the exact download link first | 08:49 |
| ronhalfdanr | and I thought only Adobe crap screwed with your filesystem | 08:49 |
| Flannel | ronhalfdanr: What changes have you made to your file/folder permissions? And what exactly went wrong? It's generally best to ask questions instead of complaining, as the latter won't fix anything. | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, have him try ssh if possible. its a similer service to see the information on connections and stuff then vnc. It may be the isp is blocking stuff.. it will take some testing to track down. You could try hooking the pc directly to the Isp, with no router to prove its not the router doing somthing. | 08:49 |

| Unknown0BC | Anybody here use worldwind ? it does not seem* to do much else than download here by me. | 08:53 |

| hyperb0lix | |peon|: Never used that before :-X | 08:56 |
| happihippo | Merry Christmas! | 08:57 |
| Unknown0BC | Then he should also go say that on #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | infinity_, perhaps. A check of the forums may give better info. Or perhaps theres a setting in the ssh configs to enable limited access and that would use the groups. | 08:57 |
| infinity_ | dr_willis: oops. /usr/bin/ssh-agent is ssh group | 08:57 |
| Unknown0BC | Anyway, anyone here use worldwind ? Got it working properly ? | 08:57 |
| Unknown0BC | :) | 08:57 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis i changed the Firmware Version to V2.06Patch08RU last night and still... the very same , actually i am really confused because every one can access except him - and i mean that "every one lol" | 08:57 |
| |peon| | hyperb0lix: it's usefull in case like that :) | 08:57 |
| ronhalfdanr | still did nothing usefull Slart | 08:58 |
| Arrowhead212002 | does anyone know of any good tablet utilities for ubuntu 8.04 ie convert writing into text? | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, so he cant even ssh or ftp in or anything eh? | 08:58 |
| OchenZloy | no i can't - any port - tcp - at all | 08:58 |
| Mal3ko | guys how do we check glibc library version? | 08:59 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok.. can you do this.. first run ls -l (<-- that's a lower case L) on the folder with these files.. then run your command and after that do another ls -l, copy it all to a pastebin and give us the url | 08:59 |
| === Guest89294 is now known as juro | ||
| Makmmr | dr_willis he can ping me while i cannot ping him from my side to he's is totaly dead line.. from he's to mine only ping goes - how that posible i'm not sure , will ask to ftp/ssh | 08:59 |
| ronhalfdanr | huh Slart? | 08:59 |
| Slart | !pastebin | ronhalfdanr | 08:59 |
| ubottu | ronhalfdanr: 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) | 08:59 |
| Mal3ko | glibc library version.. | 08:59 |
| ronhalfdanr | pastebin won't help, the command executed but did nothing | 08:59 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Rakko | ||
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: the pastebin will help us see if you do something else wrong.. if the files are strange etc | 09:00 |
| ronhalfdanr | what does or where does the -l go? | 09:00 |
| === ccnix is now known as cn-shn | ||
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: after ls.. ie you type "ls -l" then press enter.. it will give you a list of the files with permissions and such | 09:01 |
| ronhalfdanr | huh? | 09:01 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis also the router inside him got "ping" from that also only failure's | 09:01 |
| Makmmr | aka "Ping test" | 09:01 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok.. you have a terminal open, right? | 09:01 |
| ronhalfdanr | yes | 09:01 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: what happens if you type ls and press enter? | 09:02 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: you get a list of files, right? | 09:02 |
| ronhalfdanr | yep | 09:02 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: now type ls -l | 09:02 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: see the difference? | 09:02 |
| ronhalfdanr | yeah | 09:03 |
| xun | hello all, is it possible to setup a ad-hoc connection to the iphone 3g from my laptop(t400, btw it's working beautifully on ubuntu 8.10)? | 09:03 |
| ronhalfdanr | and it tells me what? | 09:03 |
| ronhalfdanr | all the stuff it pulls up is on the OS drive, not the data drive | 09:03 |
| juro | is there an email notification widget for the status bar (thunderbird, 8.10)? | 09:03 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ls -l will tell you the filenames, owner, size, date it was created, permissions etc | 09:03 |
| |peon| | Mal3ko: try dpkg -l | grep libc | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | ronhalfdanr, just for clarification - what filesystem is the datadrive anyway? NTFS? Ext2? ext3? | 09:04 |
| ronhalfdanr | NTFS | 09:04 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok.. where are these files you want to work with? | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | ronhalfdanr, then the permissions must be set by the mountpoint options. NOT the chown or chmod commands.... | 09:04 |
| Canaen | My Wireless is disabled. How would I enable it? | 09:04 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Can you right-click the NetworkManager applet and reenable wireless? | 09:04 |
| ronhalfdanr | Slart: , I have an OS drive, a !TB data drive and a mirrored RAID drive, they are on the data drive | 09:05 |
| ronhalfdanr | I don't even try to access the mirror | 09:05 |
| Canaen | I can't enable it when I right-click; it won't let me check or uncheck the box, though the box is there. It's "grayed out" | 09:05 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: :O I hope your wireless module(s) is/are loaded | 09:05 |
| ronhalfdanr | so to check my data drive I'd type ls -l DRV7-VOL1? | 09:06 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Make sure the wifi interface is up with ifconfig? | 09:06 |
| shiMMer | my bluetooth not work.i can see my bluetooth LED is on but i can find device to pair with.. | 09:06 |
| Canaen | hyper: I'm new. how would I do that? | 09:06 |
| shiMMer | cant* | 09:06 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok, try running this "cd /media/DRV7_VOL1/" | 09:06 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Just run ifconfig from the command line and list the interfaces you find | 09:06 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Should be the rightmost column | 09:06 |
| ronhalfdanr | cd command not found | 09:07 |
| Flannel | ronhalfdanr: Where are you running it? | 09:07 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis also very veird thing is that every one who i got at skype are always online (when they are online) but this friend go offline online like crazy while i am a sure that he is on and i need call him via skype to get him online at my friend list... | 09:07 |
| ronhalfdanr | terminal as sudo | 09:07 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: huh?.. you're still in the terminal, right? | 09:07 |
| |peon| | Canaen: what wireless adapter you use? | 09:07 |
| Flannel | ronhalfdanr: right, don't use sudo. | 09:07 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: not sudo | 09:07 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, sounds more and more like its his router/pc with the issues.. | 09:07 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, got the drive | 09:07 |
| Canaen | there's a "local loopback" which I think is code for wireless? the other two are ethernet. | 09:08 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: now try ls -l again | 09:08 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: lo is for loopback; one of the Ethernet ones might actually be your wireless | 09:08 |
| Slart | Canaen: local loopback isn't wireless.. it's .. well.. the loopback interface..=) | 09:08 |
| ronhalfdanr | dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2008-12-06 12:22 camo-WWI | 09:08 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: eth1? | 09:08 |
| ronhalfdanr | the specific problem folder for now | 09:08 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis but DI-524 don't have black list right? and every one can access so shouldnt be router + as well i changed Firmware so it's like reinstlal windows - i mean if he got black list it should be delted right away.. . | 09:08 |
| Canaen | yes, eth0 and eth1 | 09:08 |
| Canaen | 0 is ethernet, 1 must be wireless | 09:09 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: that's the folder you want to change? | 09:09 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Can you just run iwconfig now? | 09:09 |
| ronhalfdanr | 24 hours ago it was permission to read, write and execute | 09:09 |
| |peon| | not eth* | 09:09 |
| ryan__ | d | 09:09 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Err, is wireless *gone*? Or is it simply not working? | 09:09 |

| ronhalfdanr | that one | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, not sure on that - ive never had a router with a ip# blacklist. May want to google for that specif routers manuals/docs and see if it has some sort of auto-block feature | 09:09 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok.. what's your username? | 09:10 |
| ozzloy | http://pastebin.com/d38cff160 how do i fix this? | 09:10 |
| ronhalfdanr | and 24 hours ago it was owned by ron | 09:10 |
| Canaen | lo, eth1, and pan0 say no wireless extensions. eth1 says IEEE 802.11, no nickname, and Access Point: Not-Associated | 09:10 |
| ronhalfdanr | usernname ron | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | Slart, i belive he mentioned earlier that this is on a NTFS filesystem also... could be a mount issue | 09:10 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Yep, your wireless is there | 09:10 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: try this "sudo chown ron WWI\ camo\ done" | 09:11 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Yet NetworkManager is graying out your wireless? | 09:11 |
| Canaen | yes | 09:11 |
| ronhalfdanr | dr_willis: the drive appears to mount fine, problem is since the last update | 09:11 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis i googled my DI-524 as much as i could didn't find any thing like that & as well my friend doesn't have router , just towerpc fresh reinstaled with windows FW off.. - is there any posibility that he's lancard doesn't like routers or something like that ? - iam just out of ideas already and really pissed on this Rofl | 09:11 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: You could try a reboot first... or you could manually associate/authenticate with an access point | 09:11 |
| Slart | dr_willis: mm.. it might have updated the ntfs3g module or something.. | 09:11 |
| Mal3ko | |peon|: thanks so now how do i upgrade to a newer glibc library? | 09:11 |
| ghm | Merry Christmas everyone. just wanted to ask advice re partition editor. I partitioned my MSI wind wrong and I wanna redo it. Can I do so via ssh-ing into it? And if so what tool can i use? | 09:11 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: We've already established that your wireless interface is there and up, so there shouldn't be a problem associating | 09:11 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: and then try running ls -l again and see if it changed anything | 09:12 |
| Canaen | how would I associate? | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | ronhalfdanr, with NTFS the modes and owndership are NOT changed with chown/chmod - it must be mounted properly to allow users to access it fully. becasue ntfs does NOT support the normal linux style ownership/permissions. thats proberly the core of the whole problem | 09:12 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: It' | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | ronhalfdanr, the permissions dident change.. how it is geting mounted. changed. | 09:12 |
| ronhalfdanr | Slart: nope, root still owns everything | 09:12 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: It's a little dirty... iwlist eth1 scan... iwconfig eth1 essid ESSID or iwconfig eth1 ap BSSID... | 09:12 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok.. let's check the ntfs thingy.. let me check something first | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | Slart, or his fstab is incorrect..or its automounting and he needs to run ntfs-config and set it to allow users.. if its getting auto-mounted-by hal. | 09:13 |
| ronhalfdanr | dr_willis: the crive mounted just fine | 09:13 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Then you can use wpa_supplicant (eww) if it's WPA... or just go ahead and use dhclient/dhcpcd | 09:13 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Or you can try a reboot first :) | 09:13 |
| ozzloy | nm, i fixed it. | 09:13 |
| Canaen | ran iwlist eth1 scan, told me interface doesn't suport scanning | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | ronhalfdanr, you are confusing mounting with 'mounting with the proper options for users.' | 09:13 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: :O It's not in monitor mode, I hope | 09:13 |
| Canaen | I wouldn't know. Could I check/change that? | 09:13 |

| |peon| | Mal3ko: what ubuntu version you use? | 09:14 |
| kelvin911 | i have a question regarding to the audio of ubuntu | 09:14 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok.. we'll start by installing a tool that makes this a little bit easier, it's called ntfs-config | 09:14 |
| Mal3ko | |peon|: i think 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7 | 09:14 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: I would suggest a reboot unless you don't have time and/or don't want to mess with the commands (they can get dirty) | 09:14 |
| ronhalfdanr | something in the update screwed it up dr_willis, it happens regularly with updates | 09:14 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: run "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" in a terminal, that will install it | 09:14 |
| ronhalfdanr | this time it royally screwed it up | 09:14 |
| kelvin911 | why when playing sound in firefox, i cant play any mp3? | 09:15 |
| shiMMer | please help my bluetopth problem.i can see bluetooth icon at top panel but i cant search any devive.i search with my phone but it found nothing.help me | 09:15 |
| hyperb0lix | kelvin911: Try installing the mplayer plugin for FF | 09:15 |

| |peon| | Mal3ko: you want to upgrade to? | 09:15 |
| ronhalfdanr | it's running Slart | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | ronhalfdanr, given you dident even know what 'ls -l' did. excuse me for not taking your 'word' on that statement. You may want to pastebin your 'fstab' file for slart to see also. | 09:15 |
| hyperb0lix | kelvin911: It should be mozilla-mplayer in APT or something | 09:15 |
| ghm | hi is it possible to change partition information without losing data in them? i partitioned my MSI wind 160gb hd wrong and I seem to be able to access only half of it. | 09:15 |
| kelvin911 | it happen the same in my desktoop | 09:15 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis any way thanks for your time. | 09:15 |

| Canaen | thank you | 09:16 |
| zeeeee | hi, every time i come out of suspend i no longer get any sound output. this is on ubuntu 8.10 32-bit on a dell inspiron e1505. any hints? | 09:16 |
| hyperb0lix | kelvin911: Remove PulseAudio??? :O | 09:16 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' | 09:16 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: let me know when it's finished | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, yea. It really does sound like his router is flakey.. From what ive seen you say. :) go swap routers with him! | 09:16 |
| ronhalfdanr | oh gee dr_willis, basic troubleshooting 101, when the only system level change is an update and it repeats problems other updates have caused, pretty good idea where the problem originates | 09:16 |
| kelvin911 | if i dont remove pulseaudio, i cant have more than one application to play sound | 09:16 |
| ronhalfdanr | done Slart | 09:16 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis he doesn't have router ^^ only i got that di-524... | 09:16 |
| kelvin911 | for example if opera is playing youtube audio, icant have sound in vlc or other program like mplayer | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, whats that exactly? | 09:17 |
| hyperb0lix | kelvin911: PulseAudio _allows_ you to play more than one sound at the same time | 09:17 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: then run "gksudo ntfs-config" in the terminal.. you should get a window with one or more hard drives listed | 09:17 |
| kelvin911 | if i play sound in vlc then other applications dont have sound | 09:17 |
| Makmmr | dr_willis D-Link DI-524 | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | Makmmr, and thas a ? | 09:17 |

| Makmmr | just as normal router | 09:18 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok Slart, got the other drives listed | 09:18 |
| kelvin911 | hyperb0lix: i have other way around, in my desktop if i have pulseaudio i dont get more than one sound at the same time | 09:18 |
| Mal3ko | |peon|: yep. cause im having a random freeze issue with an app and i was advised to upgrade the gclib.. | 09:18 |
| Slart | vpew: system, preferences, sound.. second tab I think.. something like "use system sound" | 09:18 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: is the drive you want listed there? | 09:18 |
| hyperb0lix | vpew: You can also disable the bell in gnome-terminal's prefs | 09:18 |
| hyperb0lix | vpew: But that wouldn't be global | 09:18 |
| OchenZloy | Leon :) i cant connect to him, while all other people can. Already the 3rd day trying to do something with that. (Connect = for example radmin/vnc/http) | 09:18 |

| Makmmr | Leon i set up DMZ(Demilitarized Zone) , every one can connect to me even from my isp network , when first xxx.xxx.xxx are same , but one of my friedns cannot, he can ping me , but cannot connect to http / vnc / radmin - and i cannot even ping him | 09:19 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: yes | 09:19 |
| kelvin911 | now back to my netbook. if i killall pulseaudio, problem solved | 09:19 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: but the drive you wanted wasn't there? | 09:19 |
| Makmmr | Leon he also are from my isp ip range | 09:20 |
| Leon | OchenZloy: So you are trying to do port forwaring? | 09:20 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, got them all done | 09:20 |
| davenull | kelvin911: That is the support library to make flash play nicely with pulseaudio. | 09:20 |
| kelvin911 | i killall pulseaudio in my dell mini , i can get more than one sound | 09:20 |

| Makmmr | Leon i got DMZ on , http://mmr.sytes.net work for you ? for all it work , but for OchenZloy it doesn't | 09:20 |
| kelvin911 | so what is pulseaudio for? | 09:20 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' do that, and the problem is solved. | 09:20 |
| Canaen | hyper: same problem, no change. | 09:20 |
| Mal3ko | |peon|: so now..? | 09:20 |
| OchenZloy | no, i use direct connect, for example: http://mmr.sytes.net - will work for you, for everyone, but not to me (it's his web - currently empty index.htm) | 09:20 |
| kelvin911 | but how come i killall pulseaudio and i can solve my problem? | 09:20 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Pulse audio is what runs the sound card on your computer. | 09:20 |
| ganymede | ic | 09:20 |
| kelvin911 | is pulseaudio necessary? | 09:20 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: What wireless driver are you using? | 09:20 |

| davenull | kelvin911: Flash forces it into alsa mode, one audio channel, if you install that package, it will work correctly. And pulse aduio is auto restarted when you killall it, And yesm it is vital. | 09:21 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: did you see the drive we were working on in that list? | 09:21 |
| Makmmr | Leon plus i cannot even ping OchenZloy while all rest can o.O | 09:22 |
| Leon | OchenZloy: So you are the only one that cannot connect to him? | 09:22 |
| ronhalfdanr | nope | 09:22 |
| Makmmr | Leon seem's so | 09:22 |
| OchenZloy | Leon exactly! | 09:22 |
| Slart | ronhalfdanr: what kind of drive is it? anything special about it? | 09:22 |
| Leon | Makmmr: Are you from the same ISP? I had that once with a friend too. | 09:22 |
| ronhalfdanr | and my patience is burnt.................time for beer & bed | 09:22 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Does that make sense? | 09:22 |
| OchenZloy | we already thinking, that there's a something like blacklist in the router. | 09:22 |

| Slart | ronhalfdanr: ok, hope you get it fixed | 09:22 |

| ronhalfdanr | just a standard WD 1TB drive, SATA 2 | 09:22 |

| OchenZloy | yes, we do | 09:23 |
| Leon | Makmmr: Did you try the whole thing without routers on both sides. If it works that way then you know where to search the problem | 09:23 |
| Makmmr | Leon yes , but at the same time also other of my neiberhood with the same isp & same begining xxx.xxx.xxx of ip can connect to me | 09:23 |
| OchenZloy | yes, it works without router | 09:23 |
| Makmmr | Leon he don't have router at all , when i swich off mine then all work fine - i can ping him & he can connect to my pc | 09:24 |

| Makmmr | OchenZloy yes i cannot live without router tk i got not one pc at home | 09:24 |

| Canaen | hyper: STA is what the hardware drivers app told me was another option, besides 43 | 09:24 |

| davenull | kelvin911: Yes, that is what I am saying. | 09:25 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' do that, and the problem is solved. | 09:25 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Hmm, I don't have much experience with Broadcom drivers: I try to avoid Broadcom like the plague | 09:25 |
| OchenZloy | w8w8w8, i don't have a router, Makmmr(my friend) he does. If he plug off the router, then connection is established, if he will turn on it back, then again - dead side | 09:25 |
| Makmmr | Leon i didn't try bring router to OchenZloy.. but when i switch it off -all works perfectly for him ,while the router is on only for him doesn't work , but all the rest world wide can connect to my pc , you can test as well Http://mmr.sytes.net it work perfectly fine | 09:25 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Could you pastebin the output of ifconfig and iwconfig? | 09:26 |
| kelvin911 | but how come when i killall pulseaudio i can play all sound in all programs? | 09:26 |
| Canaen | yea, one sec | 09:26 |
| DarkKnight | hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list | 09:26 |
| OchenZloy | both sides, fresh OS, FW off | 09:26 |
| daredevilthere | HEY ALL | 09:26 |
| kelvin911 | why does it solve it without install any other additional package? | 09:26 |

| terryx | i am using wubi, i want to increase my file system...how? | 09:27 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Pastebin | 09:27 |
| kelvin911 | can i add killall pulseaudio to the startup session? | 09:27 |
| Slart | daredevilthere: please.. caps | 09:27 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: http://pastebin.ca | 09:27 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Because, flash forces pulseaudio into single channel mode, because flash is broken, when you kill it, it releases that channel and no, that ONE SINGLE PACKAGE is all you need to fix it. | 09:27 |
| daredevilthere | HEY HOW TO RENAME REMOVABLE MEDIA WHICH APPEARs ON DESKTOP | 09:27 |
| Slart | !caps | daredevilthere | 09:27 |
| ubottu | daredevilthere: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 09:27 |
| Leon | Makmmr: So the problem is definetly the router... Is the router the latest firmware? In the older firmwares stuff didnt work. You can check in Tools->Firmware | 09:27 |
| daredevilthere | ok i m sorry | 09:27 |
| Makmmr | Leon last night i did change fm... | 09:28 |
| Makmmr | Current Firmware Version: V2.06Patch08RU | 09:28 |
| Makmmr | Firmware Date: Wed, May 07 2008 | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | daredevilthere, try the logical.. right click, properties ? | 09:28 |
| Canaen | Hyper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92685/ | 09:28 |
| Slart | daredevilthere: change the label of the drive.. how to do that depends on what filesystem it's using | 09:28 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Thanks | 09:28 |
| Makmmr | but before this also didn't work | 09:28 |
| Leon | daredevilthere: Its a bit complicated, on a mac it's really easy, what type is the filesystem? | 09:28 |
| davenull | kelvin911: Got it? That is the way the Ubuntu wiki say to fix it, install the package I have given you 6 times, and it is all done. | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | daredevilthere, and it will depend on the filesystem as the very patient Slart implied. :) | 09:28 |
| * davenull goes to bed. | 09:29 | |
| daredevilthere | but i cant change its label | 09:29 |
| DarkKnight | hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list..and i dont know how to start working with it | 09:29 |
| Slart | dr_willis: I figured I would use it all up.. then take my christmas break :) | 09:29 |
| * dr_willis gives Slart a CandyCane for being a good patient helper.. :) | 09:29 | |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Damn, so you can't scan for anything? sudo iwlist eth1 scan? | 09:29 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: That's one of the most important things... | 09:29 |
| daredevilthere | i have renamed my partations in /media directory but they appear as disk1_vol4 on my desktop | 09:29 |
| Canaen | hyper: same result | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | Slart, it just seems the more i hang in linux channels - the more i see the fad. 'the less someone knows on a topic. the more they think they are an expert on everythyinhg' type new users mentality.. Heh.... | 09:30 |
| Makmmr | Leon as well i didn't find for my router FM on their offical web , i got h/w v.B , but they got only a,c,d ? | 09:30 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Gah, what was the result again? | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | Slart, Im seeing this more and more at work also where i work and help others. :) | 09:30 |
| Canaen | http://paste.ubuntu.com/92685/ | 09:30 |
| terryx | i am using wubi with windows xp...why computer ubuntu hangs..?? | 09:30 |
| Canaen | same as iwconfig on pastebin | 09:30 |
| Leon | Makmmr: Yeah they are difficult with firmware updates, the most recent one is 2.07 | 09:30 |
| Makmmr | Leon can you find that 2.07 for b version ? | 09:31 |
| Makmmr | Leon i couldnt' | 09:31 |
| Slart | dr_willis: mm.. that's the cost of popularity I guess | 09:31 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: iwlist shouldn't have the same output as iwconfig | 09:31 |
| Leon | Makmmr: I'll see on the various FTPs I visited, wait... | 09:31 |
| Slart | daredevilthere: this removable drive.. what kind of file system does it use? ntfs? fat32? | 09:31 |
| Makmmr | Leon thanks a lot =) | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | Slart, i think the 'user friendly' (failed) design - has basically made people so lazy in using things for basic tasks.. they cant understand or attempt to learn anything more advanced. | 09:32 |
| Mal3ko | guys..how do upgrade gclib library? | 09:32 |
| kelvin911 | that dont make sense | 09:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: that can be a dangerous thing to update | 09:32 |
| OchenZloy | if it will work, then it will be the best merry cristmas present for us we ever did get | 09:32 |
| Makmmr | Leon i got mine from http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DI-524/Firmware/Rev.B/ | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | I would Like to see some 'set-up-the-ntfs-drives' wizard tool for ubuntu. | 09:32 |
| Canaen | hyper: I made a typo. The output now is "Failed to read scan data: invalid argument" | 09:32 |
| Slart | dr_willis: well.. ntfs-config comes pretty close | 09:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: oh.. wait... gclib? not glibc? | 09:32 |
| wabob | christmas | 09:32 |
| Makmmr | at other webs i didn't find the B vers at all... | 09:33 |
| kelvin911 | i restart the netbook, do killall pulseaudio, then open firefox play a video and open mp3 files i can get 2 programs playign sound together | 09:33 |
| Leon | Makmmr: On ftp.dlink.de there is the 2.07, be sure to use the international not the german version... | 09:33 |
| Makmmr | Leon yeah the de one for me would be a pain :D | 09:33 |
| terryx | i am using wubi with windows xp...why computer ubuntu hangs..?? | 09:33 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92687/ | 09:33 |
| Makmmr | Leon be back in a while ;) | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | Slart, but its not installed by default.. and its really not 'educating' the users.. i enision a tool that asks the users what they want to do with their drives, allow everyone? just 1 user? external only? ect.. walk them through it. a bit and educate them a bit more.. | 09:33 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: yep. gclib. cause im having a random freeze problem with an app and i was advised to upgrade gclib to solve the problem | 09:33 |
| Leon | Makmmr: Wish you luck :) | 09:34 |
| Makmmr | Leon thanks :) | 09:34 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: what version of 'gclib' do you have right now? | 09:34 |
| Slart | dr_willis: ah.. I understand.. yes, that would be good | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | Slart, seems half the issues are with how the system - 'automounts on the fly' the ntfs drives as they are needed.. vs the 'mount from the fstab' method. (which is what i use) | 09:34 |
| |ntegra| | hey guys I got a problem :: when I play music on xmms ,I then can't play sound on youtube :: is there a way to just reset alsa or give both xmms and firefox access to the sound? I've been having to reboot which sux a bit | 09:34 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: im not so sure. maybe 2.8.xx http://paste.ubuntu.com/92683/ | 09:34 |
| tech0007 | how do i mount an SD card read/write? | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | Slart, and of course we all now know that 'Updates break everything' (some how?) :) | 09:35 |
| Canaen | Hyper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92689/. I dunno why I don't get something similar to your's | 09:35 |
| Leon | terryx: Did you try the various troubleshooting tips on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 09:35 |
| Makmmr | Leon ftp://ftp.dlink.de/di/di-524/archive/driver_software/ if not secret witch one? i am quite confused they all are updated at 2008.01.23. | 09:35 |
| Slart | dr_willis: sigh.. indeed we do.. =) | 09:35 |
| Leon | !wubi | 09:35 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 09:35 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Sorry, one sec | 09:35 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Could you do "lsmod | grep b43" | 09:36 |
| === peon|away is now known as peon | ||
| dr_willis | Slart, perhaps we need a 'Down with Security! let sall ntfs/vfat everything - be accessable by everyone, its My PC!' Option... ? | 09:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: please look carefully at the spelling... this entire time you have said 'gclib' ..i do not see any 'gclib' listed there... now, libc6 might be also known as 'glibc' perhaps | 09:36 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Also, could you resend the pastebin link; I accidentally disconnected | 09:36 |
| Canaen | http://paste.ubuntu.com/92689/ | 09:36 |
| Slart | dr_willis: ouch.. don't say things like that.. you'll give people ideas | 09:36 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: woops..typo. it's glibc | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | Slart, thats what people expect It seems.. Instant access to system critical files.. and total virus-bullet proofing. :) | 09:37 |
| Slart | dr_willis: and the cube.. don't forget the cube | 09:37 |
| Mal3ko | where can i get the newest one? | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | Slart, cube is old.. we need a Dodechahedron! | 09:37 |
| Canaen | lsmod gives me a really really long list, grep b43 doesn't seem to do much. It just goes to the next line, but I can't type new commands. perhaps it's waiting? | 09:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: ok, that'svery important. what version of ubuntu are you running? command --> lsb_release -r | 09:38 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: If it's >, just Ctrl+C it | 09:38 |
| Slart | dr_willis: hehe | 09:38 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: The whole command is "lsmod | grep b43" | 09:38 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: | is just a pipe | 09:38 |
| Mal3ko | 8.10 | 09:38 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: 8.10 | 09:39 |
| shiMMer | how to mount my ntfs partition in terminal?? | 09:39 |
| Makmmr | Leon ah lol was looking in archive :D sec downloading :D | 09:39 |
| peon | peon is already registered... | 09:39 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: If there is no result, then b43 isn't loaded, which is good | 09:39 |
| Canaen | hyper: no result | 09:39 |
| wabob | scp root@show me the money my money | 09:39 |
| peon | change nick huh | 09:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: the reason i ask is because, update libc6 is not something you do without an upgrade to the rest of the system normally, as far as i know. updating glibc can be a dangerous thing to do | 09:39 |
| onetinsoldier | update=updating | 09:40 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Blast, that makes no sense! The module is loaded, the interface is up, it is listed with iwconfig, yet you can't scan anything | 09:40 |
| Canaen | apparently | 09:40 |
| peon | Mal3ko: onetinsoldier is right | 09:40 |
| === peon is now known as noep | ||
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: I'm going to google around; see if others can help you in the meantime | 09:40 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: dont worry. i'll do it vm to see how it goes | 09:41 |
| === noep is now known as neuon | ||
| Canaen | some older forum posts about similar problems mention opening up networking (which is no longer an app, though similar ones are around like network manager), and clicking "enable roaming," or "enable wirelss card" and thingsl ike that. but I don't think I can do those | 09:41 |

| Makymmr | OchenZloy "ochenj zhalj" | 09:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: yeah.. ok, that should be ok then. you will likely get very interesting results. so, now how to do it? you will probably have to find the source for it... or, install the jaunty version(jaunty = the next version of ubuntu) | 09:42 |
| OchenZloy | vikini router | 09:42 |
| OchenZloy | Leon, he had updated to the latest version | 09:43 |
| OchenZloy | but i still can't access him | 09:43 |

| shiMMer | how to mount ntfs partition?? | 09:45 |
| Leon | shiMMer: Double click it | 09:45 |
| dr_willis | shiMMer, Or make an entry for it in the fstab to automountit at boot. or with special options | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs | 09:46 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 09:46 |
| Makymmr | Leon it's okay, thanks for help - don't think that i will use another router because it work for every one except OchenZloy.. | 09:46 |
| kalvin | anyone awake in here that can help? | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | kalvin, lots of people in here. :) | 09:46 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: You used the driver given to you by Ubuntu's restricted drivers utility? | 09:46 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: how do i make intreped uses sources from this http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/glibc ? | 09:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: this is a web page where you can manually download the .deb of the jaunty libc6 package | 09:46 |
| OchenZloy | but u need me more, than 2 pcs | 09:46 |

| kalvin | im new to ubuntu and so far everything is fine, but im having trouble streaming movies from my computer to my xbox, im using twonky | 09:47 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: you might as well just install Jaunty on your vm | 09:47 |
| Canaen | hyper: yea. there was the B43, which was open/free/unrestricted, but that didn't seem to work. So I tried the b STA, which is proprietary, and that at least made wireless show up on network manager | 09:47 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: And it suddenly stops working? | 09:48 |
| shavin | is there any app available which allows me to save a pdf fillable form? | 09:48 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: If it's source, you can try recompiling and reinstalling | 09:48 |
| kalvin | anyone familiar w/ streaming to xbox? | 09:48 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: or install libc6(glibc) from source... if you don't install from source, you will have every type of dependency problem possible. and actually, you might have that same problem even if you install from source | 09:48 |
| Mal3ko | onetinsoldier: does this glibc need to be installed with libc6 ? | 09:48 |
| Canaen | hyper: I've done it all through the GUI, I'm not quite so sure how to do compiling. My wireless didn't seem to work at all with the other driver, so I tried the other one. It's a step up, in a way, I guess. | 09:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: libc6 = glibc | 09:49 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Well, you could try reinstalling it through the same Ubuntu utility | 09:49 |
| Canaen | gotcha | 09:49 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Unchecking and rechecking it should work | 09:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Mal3ko: it would be VERY interesting to talk to the character that advised you to upgrade glibc | 09:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | onetinsoldier, Thanks for that update. Do we know what add the issue is with? Updating the system glibc is a bit over-the-top - output of valgrind or gdb would be the first step to pin-point the issue | 09:50 |
| onetinsoldier | IntuitiveNipple: no, i don't know.all i know is what i've pasted in to you really.. see my last message to him right above | 09:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Mal3ko, Updating glibc without rebuilding *ALL* libraries and applications will likely cause a lot of problems | 09:51 |
| shiMMer | how mount ntfs partition using terminal??? | 09:51 |
| xun | hello, any knows how to tether a ubuntu laptop via wifi connection to an iphone 3g? I was using adhoc on windows with pdanet, it was very useful and I really miss it ubuntu. thanks. it | 09:51 |
| Canaen | deactivated and reactivated | 09:51 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: man mount | 09:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Mal3ko, What application are you experiencing the issue with? have you posted a bug report, or searched launchpad bugs? | 09:52 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: Ubuntu should ship with the ntfs-3g | 09:52 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: ntfs-3g support | 09:52 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Anything? | 09:52 |
| hischild | hyperb0lix, afaik it does. | 09:52 |
| Canaen | still disabled | 09:53 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: Bah | 09:53 |
| Canaen | humbug | 09:53 |
| shiMMer | yeah.but it not auto mount | 09:53 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: Add it to your fstab | 09:53 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: I've found some links; they may or may not help | 09:54 |
| Canaen | I'd appreciate 'e | 09:54 |
| Canaen | 'em | 09:54 |
| dr_willis | shiMMer, i you just asked 2 different things.. :) either edi the fstab file, and use mount, or use the mount/ntfs-3g command ith proper options and dont edit fstab. | 09:54 |
| shiMMer | use mount | 09:54 |
| shiMMer | but i need it ato mount on every startup | 09:54 |
| hyperb0lix | Canaen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959451 | 09:54 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: Add it to your /etc/fstab, slap it into your /etc/rc.local, write an init script for it... something | 09:55 |
| neuon | shiMMer: /dev/sda3 /mnt/data ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 09:55 |
| hischild | shiMMer, if it's an internal drive i recommend you edit /etc/fstab. | 09:56 |
| hyperb0lix | shiMMer: If it's an external drive, you should probably generate a UUID for it | 09:56 |
| shiMMer | mine ntfs partiton is /dev/sda2 | 09:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | shiMMer, I think I recall reading that an ntfs partition *WILL NOT* be auto-mounted if its dirty-bit is set... you may need to run a Windows CHKDSK on it | 09:57 |
| * dr_willis seconds IntuitiveNipple 's comment. | 09:57 | |
| hyperb0lix | IntuitiveNipple: You can also change a file, I think | 09:57 |
| Canaen | hyper: that's my same problem! I will try some of the solutions. I couldn't find this link earlier | 09:57 |
| neuon | shiMMer: edit it to your need | 09:57 |
| shiMMer | i dun have windows | 09:57 |

| onetinsoldier | baddj: the best | 09:58 |
| hyperb0lix | baddj: Absolutely | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | shiMMer, so let us guess.. this is an External USB NTFS drive.. that you are trying to acces from a linux machine? | 09:58 |

| shiMMer | my internal drive.i use windows before.i wont format that partition | 09:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | hyperb0lix, one of the ntfs-3g tools can force a change in the NTFS $MFT bitmap, but it isn't recommended | 09:58 |
| onetinsoldier | baddj: do you have a good strong system? or is it an older outdated system? | 09:58 |
| hyperb0lix | IntuitiveNipple: There's always some hack, though :P That's Linux | 09:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | shiMMer, Can you manually mount sda2 ? | 09:59 |
| fefefefe | server irc.quakenet.org | 09:59 |
| shiMMer | what command? | 09:59 |
| baddj | its the latest and gratest harware i built it my self. | 09:59 |
| shiMMer | i am new with ubuntu | 09:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | shiMMer, See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G | 10:00 |
| baddj | is it hard to learn a lot of the commands also what the best the ubuntu with KDE or gnome | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | shiMMer, if you plan on not going back to windows.. you should backup your data and perahps c hange that drive to ext3 soon. :) You can use the ntfs-3g command to mount the thing from the CLI to see if its shown as 'dirty' if so - you can fix it with some other command line tools.. I forget what ones however. | 10:00 |
| shadeslayer | how to install intel 82946GZ/GL graphics driver for my debian lenny | 10:00 |
| onetinsoldier | baddj: oh.. nice. well then, the lastest version of ubuntu should be good for you then. as long as the linux kernel supports all your hardware. somoetimes the latest hardware isn't fully supported | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | shiMMer, that does have some 'risk' but you should be able to at least mount it read only. for now. :) | 10:00 |
| shiMMer | not easy to backup with 120gb full with my files | 10:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | shiMMer, Also, see | 10:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#questions | 10:01 |
| |ntegra| | hey guys I got a problem :: when I play music on xmms ,I then can't play sound on youtube :: is there a way to just reset alsa or give both xmms and firefox access to the sound? I've been having to reboot which sux a bit | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | shiMMer, old 'PC wisdom' - data not worth backing up - is not worth having... :) try ntfs-3g command, and 'ntfsfix' if the filesystem is shown as dirty. | 10:01 |
| baddj | how do i find out if the kernel support the harware as i got a intel Q660, 9400GT GF card, 3x 500GB sata HDD etc,. | 10:01 |
| onetinsoldier | baddj: that's hard to answer | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS | 10:02 |
| onetinsoldier | !best | baddj | 10:02 |
| ubottu | baddj: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | !find ntfsfix | 10:02 |
| ubottu | File ntfsfix found in ntfsprogs | 10:02 |
| baddj | Okay but how do i find out with the linux kernal will run on my hardware | 10:03 |
| hyperb0lix | baddj: Pop in a live CD and see if it works | 10:03 |
| onetinsoldier | baddj: what is the motherboard? | 10:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dr_willis, "ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows" | 10:04 |

| ruhaan_jslip | is there a way i can cap the HDD space of a users home folder? | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | !quota | 10:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about quota | 10:06 |
| onetinsoldier | baddj: ok, probably an Asus P5Q Pro... you should be fine | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | ruhaan_jslip, linux has some quota system. But ive never used it. | 10:06 |
| hyperb0lix | ruhaan_jslip: You should be able to set limits with ulimit and /etc/security/limits.conf | 10:06 |
| hyperb0lix | ruhaan_jslip: Honestly, I've only set process limits, so I can't give a straight answer | 10:07 |
| ruhaan_jslip | ulimit is an appilcation? | 10:07 |
| hyperb0lix | ruhaan_jslip: Yes, it is a command | 10:07 |
| ruhaan_jslip | oh | 10:07 |
| ruhaan_jslip | thnx anyway | 10:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dr_willis, On Linux, there are no tools to do a CHKDSK, The ntfs-3g tools only do what Windows does, to set the 'dirty' bit so Windows CHDSK can do a full scan/fix before the file-system is mounted read/write | 10:07 |
| hyperb0lix | ruhaan_jslip: Check out /etc/security/limits.conf then | 10:07 |

| m0niker | video | 10:13 |
| hyperb0lix | Mayank: What do you want resolved? | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | shadeslayer, i find it very fast... then again. I DONT use wubi. and i dont reccomend using wubi.. it also helps if you have your proper 3d video card drivers installed. | 10:13 |
| m0niker | jk | 10:13 |
| kelvin911 | because the movie it plays back in totem is better than vlc? | 10:13 |

| |ntegra| | Mayank: not enough ram dude, thats what it sounds like to me | 10:13 |
| m0niker | really | 10:13 |
| m0niker | i like vlc | 10:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | kelvin911, It depends on the backend, I think it uses gstreamer | 10:13 |
| m0niker | try fluxbox | 10:13 |
| neuon | Mayank: you use ubuntu 8.10? | 10:13 |
| kelvin911 | in my laptop totem is better than vlc? | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | I tend to use VLC and Gmplayer. | 10:13 |
| m0niker | that what i use | 10:13 |
| |ntegra| | ahhhh mplayer | 10:14 |
| DasEi1 | Mayank: wubi is always half a solution, though freezing isn't typical to me, consider a real dual boot or try virtualisation, often more stable | 10:14 |
| kelvin911 | in my desktop, i cant use totem to play back avi | 10:14 |
| DasEi1 | !virtual | 10:14 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 10:14 |
| hyperb0lix | Mayank: Or framebuffer console if you don't need anything heavy | 10:14 |
| ruhaan_jslip | hyperb0lix: how do i specify a users home direcotory in limits.comf? | 10:14 |
| hyperb0lix | kelvin911: There should be codecs for that | 10:14 |
| ruhaan_jslip | *conf | 10:14 |
| ruhaan_jslip | do i just enter their user name? | 10:14 |
| kelvin911 | so how to make totem to play avi? | 10:14 |
| neuon | 512mb isn't that enough? | 10:15 |
| DasEi1 | kelvin911:sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:15 |
| hyperb0lix | neuon: It should be... unless Mayank has all apps open simultaneously :P | 10:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Mayank, It is worth checking the log files for clues as to what was happening just before it froze - see /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages | 10:16 |
| kelvin911 | GStreamer ffmeg plugin? | 10:16 |
| juro | anyone? moving Ubuntu from one drive to a raid1 pair? | 10:16 |
| Canaen | hyper: broadcom doesn't seem to supply drivers online. Google brings up this page, among others. http://www.bioticaindia.com/bcm4328.html I'm a little wary of downloading a driver from a random google page. | 10:16 |

| ycy | does apt-get dist-upgrade updates the kernel whilst apt-get upgrade does not upgrade the kernel? | 10:18 |
| === gaz is now known as Guest18802 | ||
| hyperb0lix | ycy: dist-upgrade upgrades to a new version of Ubuntu | 10:19 |
| DasEi1 | ycy: upgrades updates the kernel, the other the distro | 10:19 |
| hyperb0lix | ycy: upgrade alone should upgrade the kernel regardless | 10:19 |
| neuon | upgrade only the revision | 10:19 |
| swif | I'd like to find a utility that allows me to compare two folders and find differences in files, including the ability to compare the md5sums of all files in a directory hierarchy... Any suggestions? =) | 10:20 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: You could whip up a shell script to do that | 10:20 |
| Guest18802 | hyperb0lix, my thoughts exactly | 10:20 |
| === Guest18802 is now known as wirefire | ||
| IntuitiveNipple | swif, "md5sum" and "find" | 10:21 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: "diff" too | 10:21 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: You can "diff" directories, too | 10:21 |
| ycy | so with dist-upgrade I have to reboot, whilst with upgrade only I don't have to reboot (because it does not upgrade the kernel) | 10:21 |
| swif | No one happens to have such a shell script, or know of one? ;-) | 10:22 |
| Scrooge_ | swif: fdupes and what the other guys said above | 10:22 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: That's why you write one! :D | 10:22 |
| wirefire | ycy, upgrade will upgrade your kernel also | 10:22 |
| swif | hyperb0lix: :P | 10:22 |
| swif | Thank you all for your suggestions | 10:22 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: diff dir1 dir2 should cover your first need | 10:22 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: find DIRECTORY -type f | xargs md5sum should cover your second | 10:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ycy, No, you're confused. A "dist-upgrade" updates to another Ubuntu release entirely (e.g. Hardy to Intrepid), whereas "upgrade" will install all updates to the installed packages (including the kernel package) for the current Ubuntu version (distribution) | 10:23 |

| swif | hyperb0lix: Thanks a lot =) | 10:24 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: You can put those commands into scripts: dir "$1" "$2" and find "$1" -type f | xargs md5sum | 10:24 |
| DasEi1 | !ask | Koddy | 10:24 |
| ubottu | Koddy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 10:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ycy, That's okay, maybe all the required bits aren't ready yet. the kernel is just another package as far as the package-management is concerned | 10:24 |
| hyperb0lix | swif: Just start with #!/bin/bash and chmod +x the two fresh scripts and drop them in /usr/local/bin | 10:24 |

| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, You could try manually re-installing the apt package. wget http://archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb | 10:37 |
| sfer2 | leon: ohh, okay | 10:37 |
| Leon | He's out of here anyway | 10:37 |
| hischild | IntuitiveNipple, let's not give the man a thousand solutions and let's just wait and see what comes out of the first one. | 10:37 |
| Pe3k | how does locate work? I started sudo updatedb and then locate STH and STH was not found, but command find did find this file; why? manual says that updatedb scanns whole filesystem by default | 10:37 |
| Leon | You can probably just chrage it and will notice when its out of battery because he can't listen to any music... | 10:38 |
| hyperb0lix | Pe3k: Throw in -i if you don't want it to be case-sensitive | 10:38 |
| hischild | Pe3k, locate is case sensitive. | 10:38 |
| ashvala | IntuitiveNipple: Perhaps, after the updates | 10:39 |
| kelvin911 | how do i uninstall msttcorefonts | 10:39 |
| Letter_Z | I can't get my desktop visual effects to change to "Normal", it keeps saying that it can't be activated or whatever | 10:39 |
| Letter_Z | Whats wrong with it? | 10:39 |
| hischild | ashvala, how's the update coming? | 10:39 |
| ashvala | hischild: So far so good.... | 10:39 |
| Pe3k | hischild, hyperb0lix: but I did write right the name.. | 10:39 |
| ashvala | 17 % up | 10:39 |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: well, have you tried... sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts ?? usually works for me | 10:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, You'll only need that if apt-get segfaults whilst trying to do the updates. What I gave you is the manual way to reinstall a known good apt package | 10:39 |
| hischild | ashvala, what stage is it at? downloading, installing, unpacking? | 10:39 |
| neuon | Letter_Z: your vga driver not supported | 10:40 |
| ashvala | hischild: downloading | 10:40 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: uninstall | 10:40 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala: I doubt apt will seg-fault during the download, but it might once it tries to install those packages | 10:40 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: but i dont want the msfont | 10:40 |
| Letter_Z | neuon, no, because it worked yesterday, it stopped working after Firefox botched up and I had to force quit it | 10:40 |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: oh, sorry, my bad. yeah,that i don't know right offhand | 10:40 |
| ashvala | intuitivenipple: Download is not the problem, install & unpacking are the problem | 10:40 |
| Leon | Pe3k: Just try to locate something really generic, like locate bin, and see if it gives you loads of results. If it does, then you can try files that are more difficult to find... | 10:41 |
| kelvin911 | i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras how do i undo it? | 10:41 |
| neuon | Letter_Z: well that's the problem | 10:41 |
| DasEi1 | kelvin: look in synaptic for msfont | 10:41 |
| ichbinesderelch | kelvin911: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, Yes, which suggests apt-get *will* fail after the download stage. If it does, use the manual apt package installation method to reinstall apt | 10:41 |
| DasEi1 | kelvin: sudo apt-get-remove ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:41 |
| ashvala | intuitivenipple: ok | 10:42 |
| Letter_Z | neuon, is there any way I can fix it? Re-install my VGA Driver or something? | 10:42 |
| ashvala | intuitivenipple: that means I am just wasting my bandwidth on the download! | 10:42 |
| neuon | Letter_Z: try login as another user | 10:42 |
| Letter_Z | Okay, let me make one | 10:42 |
| Pe3k | Leon: locate bin works; could be a problem that I have some disks mounted manually? ...they have not record in fstab... | 10:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, No, because once the apt package is fixed, you can rerun the "upgrade" and it'll use the packages already downloaded | 10:43 |
| ashvala | intuitivenipple: Ah, the packages are in /var right? | 10:43 |
| onetinsoldier | ashvala: /var/cache/apt/archives | 10:43 |
| hyperb0lix | Pe3k: locate should only search the filesystem its database was created for... | 10:44 |
| hyperb0lix | Pe3k: Use find if you want to search elsewhere | 10:44 |
| Leon | Pe3k: did you run sudo updatedb while these disks were mounted? | 10:44 |
| Pe3k | Leon:yes | 10:44 |
| Leon | Pe3k: Yeah, hyperb0lix probably knows what he's doing better than I do | 10:44 |
| ashvala | onetinsoldier: should i remove the package winedev there? | 10:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 10:44 |
| ashvala | or rather, can I? | 10:45 |
| hyperb0lix | Leon: :P I doubt that | 10:45 |
| onetinsoldier | ashvala: it doesn't matter what dir you're in to remove a package | 10:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, Removing the package won't uninstall the files from the system. only make it even more problematic to uninstall :) | 10:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala Don't mess with the apt archives unless you're an expert :D | 10:46 |
| Pe3k | hyperb0lix: yes, but I don't want to serach whole system each time and searching only such database file would be better | 10:46 |
| onetinsoldier | ashvala: oh, you can 'rm' the wine package that's in there if you want..that won't hurt anything | 10:46 |
| Leon | hyperb0lix: Shall we have a discussion now about who is more of a n00b? :) | 10:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Pe3k: do you need a good gui frontend to the find command? | 10:47 |
| benjamin1 | Hi Folks, happy xmas :) | 10:47 |
| ashvala | u2 ben | 10:47 |
| hyperb0lix | Leon: Neither | 10:47 |
| neuon | Pe3k: where the file location? | 10:47 |
| ashvala | 33 % complete | 10:47 |
| onetinsoldier | roger | 10:48 |
| benjamin1 | I've got a problem with my firefox. it doesn't load all the pics of a website sometimes. f.e amazon.com | 10:48 |
| benjamin1 | ubuntu 8.1 | 10:48 |
| hischild | ashvala, the downloads? | 10:48 |
| benjamin1 | firefox 3.05 | 10:48 |
| benjamin1 | 6000dsl, 2500 possible connections per minute, 512kbit upload, tested on speed.io | 10:49 |
| benjamin1 | i think its a tcp/ip-setting | 10:49 |
| hyperb0lix | Leon: We are all learning constantly, so I don't like to generalize anyone as a "n00b" :) | 10:49 |
| ashvala | hischild: goin' on & on | 10:49 |
| benjamin1 | under windows i would kow how to configure it, but on ubuntu its another story | 10:49 |
| ashvala | hischild: i will do the updates later, lemme first get apt | 10:49 |
| Leon | hyperb0lix: Well, because Pe3k asked me I am now learning how to use find :) | 10:50 |
| hischild | ashvala, the updates can quite likely have broken your apt, hence me suggesting to try to update first. | 10:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | benjamin1, Is it possible your ISP is using a transparent HTTP proxy - it could be overloaded and dropping TCP connections | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | benjamin1, ive noticed a lot of servers having issues today... could be lag/load, or somthing also. | 10:50 |
| hyperb0lix | Leon: :) | 10:50 |
| neuon | wb wirefire | 10:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | benjamin1, The acid test for that is to access a web-site on a port other than 80 (e.g. use HTTPS (port 443)) and see if that also gets broken files. | 10:51 |
| onetinsoldier | benjamin1: it's also possible for router problems/outages between you and the websites these images come from | 10:51 |
| wirefire | ty | 10:51 |
| Leon | Pe3k: OK, try "find /your/diretory -name yourfilename" | 10:51 |

| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, hang on, let me test it here | 10:53 |
| tiyowan | Hi folks. Merry Christmas. :) | 10:53 |
| benjamin1 | onetinsoldier: yeah me 2. i think it got something with the inetconnectionsettings in ubuntu to do... | 10:53 |
| benjamin1 | because under windows anything loads fine | 10:53 |
| ashvala | sry for flodding | 10:53 |
| Letter_Z | neuon: No, that didn't work, but I just made the account | 10:53 |
| hischild | ashvala, well GL then. | 10:53 |
| onetinsoldier | benjamin1: oh, i see. hmmm | 10:54 |
| ashvala | hischild: why? | 10:54 |
| hischild | ashvala, you're mixing solutions, stopping one solution to do the other. | 10:54 |
| onetinsoldier | tiyowan: Merry Christmas! | 10:54 |
| ashvala | hischild: updates are certainly not the problem! it is the apt program! | 10:54 |
| tuntun_ | Hi. I used to be able to disable the 'system beep' by going to system>preferences>sound>system beep, but it isn't there anymore in Ibex. Can anyone tell me where it is now? | 10:55 |
| benjamin1 | onetinsoldier: can u test this url for me? http://www.amazon.de/Sonderangebote-Restposten-Schn%C3%A4ppchen-Shop-%C3%9Cberblick/b/ref=amb_link_82762593_1?ie=UTF8&node=872398&pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=11J7WPR4FWE9ZYBKMDGH&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=464818473&pf_rd_i=301128 | 10:55 |
| hischild | ashvala, if you installed a program that depends on an updated program, it can most certainly break another program depending on the old version. Since you have 250 updates, you should install those first before making any adjustments. | 10:55 |
| jemark | Merry Christmas! | 10:55 |
| gmathews | Hey all - what is a good .nfo viewer for ubuntu? | 10:55 |
| jemark | gmathews, chmsee | 10:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | gmathews, last i looked .nfo files were just idiotically named TEXT files at least the ones I constaltly find are... | 10:56 |
| jemark | gmathews, oops, sorry. i misunderstood our question :) | 10:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala, That works here (I originally wrote the domain as .org, not .com) | 10:56 |
| jemark | gmathews, *ur | 10:56 |
| gmathews | dr_willis: but in windows for example the DAMN nfo viewer displays ASC art quite nicely | 10:56 |
| zleap | merry christmas | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | and of course inder windows .nfo is used by somthing else in the system.. so all these downloads with .nfo get loaded by somthing wrong. :) | 10:56 |
| hyperb0lix | Happy holidays :) | 10:57 |
| benjamin1 | IIntuitiveNipple: with https it works | 10:57 |
| derjoerg | hello everybody | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | gmathews, woop-de-doo :) from what ive seen.. windows loads them in some reguietry editor.. but i dont install a special app just for .nfo files dont plan on it any time soon either. :) a text editor with Monospaced fonts.. will work | 10:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | benjamin1, That does suggest your ISP is using a transparent HTTP proxy then. Who is the ISP? | 10:57 |
| benjamin1 | IIntuitiveNipple: but the pictures are loaded from a different server... hmm, ill try and load the site in windows one more time to doublecheck | 10:57 |
| === peon is now known as neuon | ||
| jemark | gmathews, have u tried to open the nfo file in gedit? | 10:57 |
| benjamin1 | arcor.de | 10:57 |

| Letter_Z | neuon: No, that didn't work, but I just made the account | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | vi foo.nfo in a terminal? | 10:58 |
| neuon | tuntun: you can blacklist pcspkr | 10:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | benjamin1, ok... don't forget to totally clear the local browser cache else the files will come from the local hard drive | 10:58 |
| benjamin1 | IIntuitiveNipple: but why didn't i'Ve got problems until now? | 10:58 |
| gmathews | dr_willis: i use gedit...I am looking for a proper .nfo viewer. If u guys are on windows check out DAMN nfo viewer and open up an nfo with ASC art and tell me what it looks like | 10:58 |
| ashvala | Intuitivenipple: INstall complete | 10:58 |
| benjamin1 | IIntuitiveNipple: and how to adapt my ffox? | 10:58 |
| jemark | gmathews, i know what it looks like... | 10:59 |
| dr_willis | gmathews, you could always use that tool and wine. if nfo files are so imporntant to ya. I tend to delete .nfo files :) not look at them | 10:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | benjamin1, You should check the HTTP headers returned, see if they reveal a proxy server | 10:59 |
| dr_willis | gmathews, ascii art went out with my 300baud BBS systems. :) | 10:59 |
| jemark | gmathews, http://home.gna.org/nfoview/ | 10:59 |
| neuon | Letter_Z: you login to gnome as another user and try to set it to normal? | 10:59 |
| gmathews | hahaha | 10:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | benjamin1, Alternatively, if you want to try fetching a page from my web server I can examine the server log, see if it reveals a proxy | 10:59 |
| gmathews | I like keeping nfo files though | 10:59 |
| gmathews | even the full release names :P | 10:59 |
| Letter_Z | neuon, yeah, I made another user and switched to that and then tried to change it, it returned the same error | 11:00 |
| benjamin1 | IntuitiveNipple: that would be nice, cause i've got now knowledge how to fish packages under ubuntu :) | 11:00 |
| amerinese | dr_willis: bbs isn't out and neither is ascii art | 11:00 |
| jemark | gmathews, check this out: http://home.gna.org/nfoview/ | 11:00 |
| tuntun | neuon, I read that is not a good solution as it also stops critical beeps. | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | amerinese, yes it is.. :) you just dident get the memo. | 11:00 |
| benjamin1 | IntuitiveNipple:and why isn't this an issue under windows? | 11:00 |
| amerinese | dr_willis: i use a bbs that has over 140,000 people online each night | 11:00 |

| hyperb0lix | neuon: It's a damn good distro | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | derjoerg, You are thinking in windows terms... where no ram is bad.. Linux uses whatever it can as cache.. and frees it up as needed.. You dont need to worry about it. | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | derjoerg, its being used as disk-cache mainly. | 11:08 |
| neuon | Letter_Z: maybe xserver-xorg-video-intel | 11:09 |

| gmathews | hyperb0lix: how do u check fragmentation? | 11:13 |
| ashvala | intuitivenipple: is it now classified as Epic Fail? | 11:13 |

| hischild | IntuitiveNipple, ashvala that's why i told you to run the updates first. | 11:14 |
| gmathews | can fsck be used with my mounted NTFS | 11:14 |
| cafuego | gmathews: ^ | 11:14 |
| hyperb0lix | gmathews: cafuego is ABSOLUTELY correct | 11:14 |
| gmathews | oh cafuego | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | gmathews, no. | 11:14 |

| gmathews | :p | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | gmathews, dont even go there. :) | 11:14 |

| neuon | tuntun: ok | 11:14 |
| sfer2 | just a general question: a 3gb swap is really too much, isn't it? shouldn't a few hundred megabytes be reasonable enough? | 11:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ashvala: No, it just means apt and the backing libs are out of version sync, lemme just grab the correct URLs to fix that | 11:14 |
| === Thehelpfulone is now known as THO|Away | ||
| cafuego | derjoerg: No, that depends 100% on your hardware | 11:14 |
| ashvala | intuitivenipple: ty, | 11:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | hischild: ashvala was running updates first | 11:14 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: If you have enough (subjective) RAM, technically, you shouldn't need any | 11:15 |
| cafuego | derjoerg: having 98% wa is not great, though ;-) | 11:15 |
| ashvala | aptitude: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 11:15 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: It's a good idea, though, especially for a server | 11:15 |
| blame | how do I report a bug, text on menus on certain applications in gnome does not appear at all | 11:15 |
| gluonman | Merry Christmas everyone! | 11:15 |
| hischild | IntuitiveNipple, he broke them off because you were suggesting another solution. | 11:15 |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: ok, the version is... 10.0.1.218 | 11:15 |
| sfer2 | aah, i have no idea why this system ever had 3gb of swap. don't ask me, i didn't install it on this particular machine i've been looking after | 11:15 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: i goto flash test website it says i have version 9 | 11:15 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: The old rules was twice your RAM | 11:15 |
| cafuego | sfer2: Some people still think swap needs to be twice the size of ram | 11:16 |
| gmathews | Ok how do i go about this - I want to use partition magic on my existing NTFS drive to create anothe 20 GB partition with the free space. I want to format this partition into ext3 and incorporate that in my exisitng Ubuntu partition - is that possible? | 11:16 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: wiki pulseaudio | 11:16 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: But it was just a "guideline" | 11:16 |
| cafuego | hyperb0lix: And it was for windows, not Linux | 11:16 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: LNX 9,0,124,0 | 11:16 |
| koala_man | for a desktop box, don't bother with swap if you have more than 1gb | 11:16 |
| sfer2 | it's possible to resize swap after installation with something as simple as gparted, isn't it? | 11:16 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: how to update to version 10? | 11:16 |
| cafuego | sfer2: yup | 11:16 |
| ashvala | pain elevates from 1 broken to several broken packages! | 11:16 |
| hyperb0lix | cafuego: Ah, didn't know that; I've read that it applies to *nix as well | 11:16 |
| ashvala | :( | 11:16 |
| jam^ | I tried to use my USB disk on ubuntu, and now i cant read the data on windows or linux, the filesystem i use on the disk is NTFS any tips? | 11:16 |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: sudo updatedb && locate libflash ..what do you get? | 11:16 |
| cafuego | hyperb0lix: Crufty old unixes, some of them. | 11:16 |
| derjoerg | cafuego: ok, thanks so far. I will monitor bi bo and wa the next weeks with cacti to see the trends | 11:17 |
| hyperb0lix | cafuego: Which is precisely why it's an "old guideline" now | 11:17 |
| sfer2 | cafuego: i guess I'd have to use a live cd to do it, though, as it's currently in use? | 11:17 |
| cafuego | sfer2: You'll want decent swap on a machine that can have processes be idle for a few days - that way they can be put in swap and the ram used as cache. | 11:17 |
| cafuego | sfer2: and you'll want swap on a laptop, so you can hibernate | 11:17 |
| kelvin911 | onetinsoldier: wait | 11:17 |
| sfer2 | sfer2: how much swap would you suggest? | 11:18 |
| sfer2 | wait... | 11:18 |

| sfer2 | cafuego: how much swap would you suggedy? *smacks self over head, makes sure he doesn't go near a computer for the next 8 hours* | 11:18 |
| cafuego | hyperb0lix: I own my nick, I'm perfectly allowed to use it ;-) | 11:18 |

| DasEi | ramon: you can either set permissions with chmod or chown, see man chmod / chown | 11:19 |
| sfer2 | well, i can't give you great detail because i don't have it just here, but it has about 1.5gb ram and it's only really used as a "frontend" for a server (it's not the actual server itself) | 11:19 |
| hyperb0lix | cafuego: :P | 11:19 |
| cafuego | sfer2: I wouldn't bother with swap then | 11:19 |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: i'm not sure what to think | 11:19 |
| ramon | dasei thanks | 11:19 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: You could put in 1 MB | 11:19 |
| cafuego | sfer2: If later on it turns out you need some, you can always add a 512MB swap file on /var somewhere | 11:20 |
| sfer2 | cafuego: i thought 3gb of swap was a bit much anyway. I'll need to use a livecd to change the partition though, won't I? | 11:20 |
| cafuego | sfer2: yep | 11:20 |

| * neuon away | 11:22 | |
| cafuego | also check the reserved disk percentage then | 11:22 |
| sidd | how do i give mount/umount permission for removable media/connected hdd to normal users? | 11:23 |
| ramon | dasei the hard drive is mounted cause shows in the desktop but i am only able to read and write | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | sidd, and what filesystem is this media? i | 11:23 |
| sidd | dr_willis: NTFS | 11:24 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs | 11:24 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 11:24 |
| sfer2 | I really should be off now. I'll attempt this tomorrow when I have a fresh mind and stop asking stupid questions/making obvious mistakes | 11:24 |
| TimMatrix | Merry Christmas to everyone in this room! | 11:24 |
| CaneToad | sidd, you need to put the user option in the /etc/fstab | 11:24 |
| sidd | dr_willis: the same hdd is mounted automatically and shown in <Places> on my other ubuntu machine | 11:24 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: That's how we learn | 11:24 |
| dr_willis | sidd, install/run the ntfs-config tool.. may do it all for ya | 11:24 |
| * cafuego needs to go and pass out as well | 11:24 | |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: hello? did you see my previous message about how to further check the version in Firefox? | 11:24 |
| jorge_ | Merry xmas to all of you guys. | 11:24 |
| DasEi | ramon:if you can write, you can also delete | 11:24 |
| jorge_ | And a happy New Year | 11:24 |
| derek | if you wana view a ntfs file system you just have to mount it | 11:24 |
| dr_willis | sidd, its worth learning how Linux access NTFS drives.. theres some things to watch out for. :) | 11:25 |
| derek | create the /mnt folder and do | 11:25 |
| sfer2 | hyperb0lix: the thing is, ive been asking so many dumb questions just recently that i knew the answer to :P | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | derek, actually they can get auto-moutned on clicking/access :) | 11:25 |
| DasEi | ramon:the command from terminal to remove (delete) is rm, but be carefull with that | 11:25 |
| sidd | CaneToad: which line? a new hdd could be anything from sdb1 to sddN. and on my office Ubuntu, it is mounted as the volume name in /media | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | derek, HAL/Gnome is handy at that. | 11:25 |
| derek | sudo -t mount /dev/(device goes here) /mnt -o force | 11:25 |
| hyperb0lix | sfer2: Which reinforces that newfound knowledge :) | 11:25 |
| sfer2 | i guess it does | 11:25 |
| sidd | dr_willis: yeah, I've been through that. I can mount as root anytime, only, how do i give access to normal users? | 11:25 |
| sfer2 | it's just that the details of ram/cpu aren't exactly my thing ;) | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | sidd, ntfs-config tool..... | 11:26 |
| derek | automount didnt work for me to read / write | 11:26 |
| DasEi | sidd: you can either set permissions with chmod or chown, see man chmod / chown | 11:26 |
| derek | i can only read on an ntfs automount | 11:26 |
| DasEi | sidd:if you want it for the whole hd, which let's say is mounted at /mnt/hd, do a : sudo chown ramon /mnt/hd , assuming username is ramon | 11:26 |
| sidd | dr_willis: roger that :) | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | derek, it pays to learn how Linux handles ntfs drives.. if you have to use -o force.. then you SHOULD be checking that drive with a windows machine really soon. | 11:26 |
| derek | nah | 11:27 |
| moijk | Any way to see the contents of packages without installing them? I'm trying to see what the difference is between the package named 'zend-framework' and the one named 'libzend-framework-php'. they have the same description but why are there two? | 11:27 |
| derek | i dont even really use windows anymore | 11:27 |
| sidd | dr_willis: a while ago i checked and the ntfs_write module was still alpha. is it stable now? | 11:27 |
| derek | i think i had to use the -o force because of an improper shutdown | 11:27 |
| CaneToad | with the apt commands, given a filename, how do you determine what package installed it? | 11:27 |
| ramon | dasei how do i access to my hard drive?...is called mynewharddrive ...should i just cd /home.../mynewharddrive? | 11:27 |
| DasEi | mojik: look in synaptic, or... | 11:27 |
| sfer2 | moijik: will the php one need the other one when you go to install it? | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | sidd, i use the ntfs-3g stuff. so not paid much attention to the ntfs_write stuff | 11:27 |
| janito | moijk, from a terminal: apt-cache show package | 11:27 |

| DasEi | ramon: type mount in trml to get the mountpoint , f.e. /media/disk | 11:28 |
| sidd | dr_willis: coz still when I mount ntfs parts in ubuntu, it says ro file systen | 11:28 |
| onetinsoldier | kelvin911: hello? you still here? | 11:28 |
| derek | it was supposed to be sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/(device name goes here) /mnt -o force | 11:28 |
| DasEi | ramon:where is the hd mounted ? | 11:28 |
| sidd | i guess you have to force ntfs-3g instead of the stock ntfs module | 11:29 |

| dr_willis | Grasputin, unless you really really really want to 'zero' out the drive.. and totally erase it. | 12:16 |
| neuon | kelvin911: or other library | 12:16 |
| kelvin911 | do i follow the guide to convert it to lpia version? | 12:16 |

| dr_willis | Grasputin, use slackware to reinstall grub. | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | Grasputin, or lilo. | 12:19 |

| Dam0 | i hope so | 12:34 |
| DasEi | Dam0: your luck next to sudo was that no subdirs were effcted, any file in / with user-permission (which is seldom) is off | 12:34 |
| t00lzf0nt | Yuji1: I have used gparted for this, dd also works | 12:34 |
| Dam0 | okay thanks everyone | 12:34 |

| ashvala | kelvin911: no problems? ;) | 12:34 |
| hischild | DasEi, he used recursive so it would've gone through every folder. He didn't do it. | 12:34 |
| Yuji1 | t00lzf0nt: DD? GParted will do an exact, EXACT copy? As if to move a partition across hdds? | 12:34 |
| DasEi | Dam0: back to your quest.. 2 hd's ? | 12:35 |
| neuon | tiyowan: well i alreay lol at it | 12:35 |
| Dam0 | ok back to my question....... i have ubuntu installed on both my drives how do i unistall it? | 12:35 |
| Yuji1 | ..."it" ? | 12:35 |
| Yuji1 | From which? | 12:35 |
| kelvin911 | doesnt work | 12:35 |
| t00lzf0nt | Yuji1: gparted uses something similar to dd, I have used it to move an ubuntu partition, a vm partition, and a windows partition. | 12:35 |
| DasEi | Dam0: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 12:35 |

| Yuji1 | t00lzf0nt: No output. | 12:47 |
| sidewalk | can i somehow increase the cache size or something? | 12:47 |
| Yuji1 | sidewalk: Easily. Firefox preferences. | 12:48 |
| Suprano | the problem right now is,that the input is overdriven.. besides the fact that i can'T find any way to fine grade the settings | 12:48 |
| wbmj | sidewalk:right click on a youtube image the fash preferences can be changed | 12:48 |
| DasEi | Dam0:so I don't now how /what you installed, lets have a look in /media/disk | 12:48 |
| Suprano | ubuntustudio seems to use pulse audio | 12:48 |

| Xman | Adriaan: but without loging in through GUI when i press ctrl+alt+f1 the shell comes up nd i login there | 13:08 |
| Xman | Adriaan: i tried it so many times dude | 13:09 |
| Adriaan | Xman, okay, you might be able to fix it from the shell.. why not try running gnome from the shell, so it might return some errors | 13:09 |

| ubottu | ghum: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:18 |
| Yuji1 | scensis: Is Wine installed even ? | 13:18 |

| scensis | Yuji1: Would it be wise to uninstall Wine and install it again? | 13:21 |
| Yuji1 | scensis: Try browsing the CD and double-clicking the exe. :/ Wine should run it. :/ | 13:21 |
| Yuji1 | scensis: I don't see any probable change in Wine from reinstalling it. | 13:21 |

| TimMatrix | scensis: welcome to the world of Ubuntu. I'm a semi-beginner! | 13:27 |

| sidewalk | it loads the clip, flashes once and then doesnt play the clip | 13:27 |
| Yuji1 | scensis: Well autorun.inf tells Windows what file to run. Opening it in gedit/text editor will show what file it runs (exe). Double-click (should execute with wine) the file and Wine will run it. | 13:27 |
| TimMatrix | do anyone know how to turn the microphone on from my webcam (BUILT-IN MIC)?? | 13:27 |

| jotil | what is up with ubuntu not having /etc/inittab, what do i do with runlevels? | 14:38 |
| Mallen_ | Merry Christmas! | 14:38 |
| hischild | !anyone | cristi | 14:38 |
| ubottu | cristi: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:38 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak: I'd love to but since my wireless isn't working, I can't chat from the macbook. | 14:38 |
| biouser | what is cdn.taboolasyndication.com? And why does the browser wait for them when say loading (not loading) CNN video? | 14:38 |
| Dam0 | i am installing unbutu, what do i set my Mount points to? | 14:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: well, boot it and look. | 14:39 |
| Yuji1 | Dam0 why not just do a full format? Fresh. :D | 14:39 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak: I use a live DVD, currently on another computer, I only have one | 14:39 |
| allsystemsarego | Kartagis, I don't think there is such a package | 14:39 |
| Kartagis | photo-uploader - Command line photo uploader | 14:39 |
| DasEi | dam0:something very strange is going on there, if you had been working under a / root under sda, couldn't have been able to remove the partis, so what mount point do you want now ?? | 14:39 |
| Dam0 | becuase i had to delete my old drivw | 14:39 |
| Dam0 | e | 14:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dam0: easiest thing to do if its your irst time, is make a small partition(1-2x your memory) mount as swap, then the rest o the space you're using, mount as ext3 and / | 14:39 |
| cristi | ok then, how do games work in a virtual box with win xp installed? | 14:39 |
| jotil | what i have to do to make ubuntu boot into runlevel 3 as default? edit the grub parameters? | 14:40 |
| biouser | I love how MSNBC video allows the commercial to play but then somehow the video itself will not play... | 14:40 |
| remite | cristi: games not work | 14:40 |
| allsystemsarego | Kartagis, photo-uploader does do imageshack | 14:40 |
| hischild | cristi, games require hardware acceleration which isn't implemented yet. If you can make them run using software acceleration you're fine. | 14:40 |

| allsystemsarego | Kartagis, but not imagebin | 14:41 |
| Kartagis | allsystemsarego, I don't care, thanks anyway | 14:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dam0: are you doing a new install?.. if so, how are you setting up your system, Windows on one drive, Ubuntu on the other? | 14:41 |
| === nat is now known as Guest60529 | ||
| Dam0 | no | 14:42 |
| cristi | hischild, remite thank you, however, what is the best solution to play games on ubuntu; games other than those in add/remove and ut2004 | 14:42 |
| Dam0 | DasEi,,,,,,,, i am nealy there i just need to know what do i mount my second drive too? i dont wanna make a mistake, | 14:42 |
| DasEi | dam0:I#am confused right now, did you run a live cd ? | 14:43 |
| Dam0 | yes i am running it now | 14:43 |
| Dam0 | i am upto prepare partiona | 14:43 |
| Dam0 | a | 14:44 |
| Dam0 | s | 14:44 |
| DasEi | dam0:this is why it was possible to kill your sys | 14:44 |
| remite | cristi: if you want to play windows game you can try use wine/codeweaver winex | 14:44 |
| DasEi | dam0:I suggest you take the 250 gig to master and do a guided, fresh install on whole hd | 14:45 |
| Dam0 | okay | 14:45 |
| hischild | cristi, get opengl games. Those work nearly always perfectly using wine. There are some other games which work just as well with wine. | 14:45 |
| DasEi | dam0:after that it's easy to add the 40 gig | 14:45 |

| sidewalk | i have installed flashplugin-nonfree | 14:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | sidewalk: 8.10 installs pretty easily on an eee, only thing that takes work is the wireless device, and its easy | 14:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | sidewalk: what version of flash is it yousing? | 14:48 |
| sidewalk | IndyGunFreak: i dont have issues with wireless, but with youtube in Firefox | 14:48 |

| cristi | hischild: thanks | 14:50 |
| BrainBrainBrain | everytime when theres a kernel update, grub adds a new line in the bootscreen for all the old ubuntu versions | 14:50 |
| cristi | remite: thank you | 14:51 |
| sidewalk | IndyGunFreak: Ubuntu 8.10, no eeeubuntu | 14:51 |
| remite | cantique: depends | 14:51 |
| cantique | remite: what do you mean? | 14:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | BrainBrainBrain: yeah, are you trying to remove them? | 14:51 |
| allsystemsarego | BrainBrainBrain, uninstall old kernels via synaptic | 14:51 |
| sidewalk | IndyGunFreak: what version of Firefox and what version of flash plugin are you using? | 14:51 |
| jtaji | Dam0: your question is ambiguous because you can mount it where ever you want but probably you want to mount the second partition to /home | 14:51 |
| quatar-it | hi all. Why won't my "beep" play anything? On bug reports they say to use -e ....pcspeak... , or to try with -f 440 ... but nothing. Also doing "softbeep beep" was not useful | 14:51 |
| DasEi | Dam0: first you set up any directory, then you mount to it, frequently with mount, permanent with fstab | 14:51 |
| dsnaike | sidewalk what version of flask are u using | 14:51 |
| remite | u use phone? | 14:52 |

| Sh0rtWave | just outta curiousity, what IRC client does Ubuntu come with? | 14:53 |
| cantique | remite: ya | 14:53 |

| dsnaike | sidewalk be carefull u will find plugins in mozilla folder copy to ff3 plugin folder | 14:58 |

| jotil | i mean jtaji, i am trying to boot into ubuntu headless | 15:01 |
| jtaji | jotil: runlevel 3 won't do it for you by default, redhat based distros use runlevel 3/5 for nox/x, debian based distros use runlevel 2 by default, and the rest of the levels (3,4,5) are the same | 15:02 |
| jim_p | jotil, then you can boot in rescue mode | 15:02 |
| jtaji | jotil: the easiest way to do this is sudo update-rc.d gdm, to prevent X from starting in all runlevels | 15:02 |
| rrr | how do I start X without it automatically starting the WM? | 15:02 |
| jtaji | jotil: err, sudo update-rc.d gdm remove | 15:02 |

| cantique | segosa: why | 15:03 |
| icqnumber | IndyGunFreak, i am not looking for this, i remember that there were the bot command to read about medibuntu packages like: !info packagename | 15:03 |
| jotil | jtaji: funny way of doing it. redhat way seems simpler to me. thanks regardless. | 15:03 |
| jotil | jtaji: appreciate it. | 15:03 |
| cantique | segosa: why only gdm? | 15:03 |
| jtaji | jotil: now if you so desired, you can certainly customize the runlevels, just removing gdm from one of them and switching between, it's up to you | 15:04 |
| segosa | any display manager | 15:04 |
| erry | hai | 15:04 |

| quatar-it | hi all again. How do you make the sound card "beep" (since my pcspeaker is likely to refuse to ..) | 15:04 |

| quatar-it | jim_p: "beep" doesn't work! | 15:05 |
| quatar-it | jim_p: so i wanted to try with the sound card | 15:06 |
| jim_p | quatar-it, beep needs parameters to work. do you enter parameters | 15:06 |
| jim_p | ? | 15:06 |
| quatar-it | jim_p: it should work even without. But i tried with the one suggested in a bug report | 15:07 |
| allsystemsarego | quatar-it, also have a look at softbeep | 15:07 |
| quatar-it | id est: explicitate the device, or the frequencies | 15:07 |
| quatar-it | softbeep beep mute, too :'( allsystemsarego | 15:07 |
| icqnumber | IndyGunFreak, so any idea? | 15:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | icqnumber: i've still not figured out your problem, if you want adobe acrobat, use medibuntu to install it | 15:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | icqnumber: or use evince.. which is w/ a default ubuntu install | 15:09 |

| IndyGunFreak | quatar-it: softbeep beep? | 15:10 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, no bot commands for medibuntu packages | 15:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: thats what i thought | 15:11 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, you need to go to the site and check the list | 15:11 |
| quatar-it | IndyGunFreak: since beep seems to be mute, i tried to redirect its sound to sound card, using softbeep | 15:11 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak, yep | 15:11 |

| brohken | stovicek, i just set the brightness_battery to be 10 as a test and it still lets me go to 100% | 17:59 |

| Kingsy101 | kelvin911 - it isnt there | 17:59 |
| Kingsy101 | ermm 1 sec... | 17:59 |
| stovicek | brohken: while on battery, the power manager is going to raise and lower the brightness based on your activity. brightness_battery would be the max value while idle_brightness would be it's lowest. brightness_dim_battery might be like a step between. But you should be able to manually brighten when need be with your keyboard shorts. | 17:59 |
| kelvin911 | anyone know how to run session manager in terminal? | 18:00 |
| shiMMer | need run kismet.i got an error to run kismet | 18:00 |

| ronhalfdanr | Boohbah: the current problem is the latest updates changed the owner of the data drives to root and pretty much locked me out of tranferring data | 19:15 |

| ronhalfdanr | NTFS config tools causes a boot problem for root on boot but it will boot | 19:17 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, "sudo su - root" in a terminal, then manipulate the files using mc (Midnight Commander) | 19:17 |
| ronhalfdanr | allsystemsarego: would I have to do that every time? | 19:17 |
| djungelkraem | Is there a way to see what packages I have installed? Not packages that came with ubuntu | 19:17 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, until they fix the issue, that's if you file a bug report | 19:18 |

| ronhalfdanr | not an option then allsystemsarego, the most basic funtion of an OS is always having problems caused my updates............might as well go back to XP that was stable for 5 years | 19:18 |
| tavish | hello. is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/92864/ /etc/network/interfaces file ok. i want to add 2 dns too. | 19:18 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, if you want stable, use Hardy Heron | 19:19 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, I'm on Hardy and don't have the issues you're describing | 19:19 |
| ronhalfdanr | allsystemsarego: XP was stable for 5 years one the initial install...........ubuntu has completely hosed my fielsystem within 3 months | 19:19 |
| kem0`2 | hey, I have a trouble setting the tx-power of my alfa 500mW, i keep getting low signal however am 2 feet far away from the AP. | 19:20 |
| piti_ | anyone know if ebox works properly in ubuntu 8.10? | 19:20 |
| ronhalfdanr | if I have to rebuild my software system it will be one I don't have to "fix" every week | 19:20 |
| bef0rd | heh, that worked, but I had to run nvidia-settings as root. should not it be run as root always? I mean like, the launcher should point to gksu nvidia-settings | 19:20 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, Hardy Heron is LTS (long term support) - from that point of view I would regard Ibex as experimental / unstable | 19:21 |
| ronhalfdanr | I don't use Adobe products because they mess with my filesystem, sure not going to keep using ubuntu if it's gonna cause similar problems | 19:21 |
| kem0`2 | hey guys :) anybody here using Alfa 500mW wireless device ?:) | 19:22 |
| tavish | hello. is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/92864/ /etc/network/interfaces file ok. i want to add 2 dns too. | 19:22 |
| djungelkraem | allsystemallsystem that lists packages installed during the ubuntu-instal | 19:23 |
| kem0`2 | damn, i feel ignored :/ | 19:23 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, if you want Ubuntu but at the same need absolute dependability, then Hardy is the answer | 19:23 |
| Stanlin | kem0`2: yes | 19:23 |

| kem0`2 | Stanlin, I have a very low signal, however the AP is right next to me | 19:24 |
| allsystemsarego | djungelkraem, what list of packages do you need? | 19:24 |
| remite | SomeGuy7337: mv | 19:24 |

| djungelkraem | allsystemsarego i need to see packages I HAVE installed :P | 19:25 |
| ronhalfdanr | allsystemsarego: and how much of the mail and other "small" data on my OS drive will be lost if I go back to Hardy and then of course I get to recreate my virtual machines | 19:25 |
| ryaxnb | join #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:25 |
| Stanlin | kem0`2: check the wire conection, the antena, if everything is properly fixed... | 19:25 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, make sure you have a backup of your home directory for when you start using Hardy | 19:26 |
| allsystemsarego | djungelkraem, the command I gave you does that | 19:27 |
| kem0`2 | Stanlin, it works 100% fine on Vista | 19:27 |
| kem0`2 | I think its something that depends on the TX-power, I iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1, and set the TX-power to 27, but still low signal | 19:27 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, the small items you are talking about are stored in hidden directories under /home/ronhalfdanr | 19:28 |
| Stanlin | kem0`2: yeah, call your manufacturer | 19:28 |
| squeee | Could anyone explain to me the difference between KDE and GNOME? | 19:28 |
| kem0`2 | Stanlin, ha? | 19:28 |
| ronhalfdanr | so just copy that folder to something then recopy it after installing hardy? | 19:29 |

| djungelkraem | allsystemsarego: it shows alot of gnome packages too that came with gnome window-manager (installed during the ubuntu-installation) | 19:31 |

| kem0`2 | Lexvegas, does it work fine on BT3 ? | 19:33 |
| allsystemsarego | djungelkraem, yes, but that's what you want, right? if it's on your system, you want it listed | 19:33 |
| Lexvegas | kem0`2, BT3? | 19:33 |
| kem0`2 | backtraack 3 | 19:33 |
| Lexvegas | kem0`2, no idea, it "worked" out of the box for me | 19:34 |

| zleap1 | kem0`2, what are you trying to do | 19:35 |
| tgpraveen | ppl pls help me | 19:35 |
| Lexvegas | kem0`2, it was atcually working pretty good on vista | 19:35 |
| allsystemsarego | djungelkraem, I see, hmmm, then you need to go back to the liveCD, run that command, then find the elta's between the files | 19:35 |

| tgpraveen | i installed a software by downoadiing the deb file. now i want to uninstall it how do i do so? it doesnt show up in synaptic? | 19:36 |
| kem0`2 | yup, it is supposed to be the best wifi device today | 19:36 |
| djungelkraem | allsystemsarego: how would i get to the deltas? | 19:36 |
| allsystemsarego | ronhalfdanr, try that, and make sure your command is recursive | 19:36 |
| tgpraveen | pls help | 19:36 |
| zleap1 | why woud you want to dual boot vista | 19:36 |
| tgpraveen | thx | 19:36 |
| tet3 | But doesn't include creating a third partition if I want to share data between the two OSes. | 19:36 |
| zleap1 | i would single boot linux on top of vista, and do away with vista | 19:36 |
| zleap1 | but that aside | 19:36 |
| allsystemsarego | djungelkraem, there is a program called "meld" that shows you the deltas between 2 files | 19:36 |
| djungelkraem | allsystemsarego: cool thank you - ill look into that :) | 19:37 |

| crystal | Lexvegas, yup | 19:38 |
| zleap1 | what priveledges are set for the new user, | 19:38 |
| tgpraveen | i installed a software by downoadiing the deb file. now i want to uninstall it how do i do so? it doesnt show up in synaptic? | 19:38 |
| tgpraveen | ?? | 19:38 |
| crystal | oh. Not in the wheel directory | 19:38 |
| zleap1 | no point having synaptic, if you are not able to run it, given synaptic needs root | 19:38 |
| zleap1 | or sudo | 19:38 |
| zleap1 | i think | 19:38 |
| allsystemsarego | tgpraveen, dpkg -r <xyzpackage> | 19:38 |

| ronhalfdanr | paxsboy: got a similar problem with my internal data drives, working on the fix now...........just need to know what a few options are before I try it on a spare drive | 19:44 |
| jtaji | crystal: that's what I just gave you | 19:44 |

| tet3 | So this suggests that I can mount the NTFS partition: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:45 |
| jtaji | crystal: nope not that form, it adds an existing user to an existing group | 19:45 |
| zleap1 | admin - users and groups i think | 19:45 |
| crystal | jtaji: Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN | 19:45 |

| tet3 | Should I just have a single NTFS partition for Windows & shared data, and then a single Ubuntu partition for Ubuntu and Ubuntu-specific data? | 19:46 |
| jtaji | crystal: however you want to add the darn user to the group, it needs to be in the admin group | 19:46 |

| juro | hmm, is this such a hard question? I want to move my existing Ubuntu installation from one harddrive to a Raid1 paired harddrive setup. What is the best way to do this? | 19:47 |
| ronhalfdanr | allsystemsarego: sticky bit will probably not set since the only users are me and root and the advantage only look like it affects .exe..........it look slike MAYBE if I set UID/GID it will allow me to do what I want | 19:47 |
| paxsboy | ronhalfdanr: I'm going to try to reformat as fat16 and see if it works any better. | 19:47 |
| ronhalfdanr | FAT 16 sucks in ubuntu paxsboy | 19:47 |
| paxsboy | Huh. | 19:47 |
| crystal | jtaji, lexvegas, that's now how you add a user to a group ... usermod -G groups1,group2, user | 19:47 |
| crystal | -, | 19:48 |
| ronhalfdanr | of the windows filesystems NTFS works best across platforms | 19:48 |
| jtaji | crystal: actually usermod -G is dangerous because it overwrites current groups and you have to give the whole list.... unless you add the -a append option to usermod :p | 19:48 |
| jtaji | i.e. usermod -aG group user | 19:48 |
| crystal | jtaji, yes you're right but you're wrong about using useradd | 19:48 |
| spydon | Does anyone know how I play drm-crippled dvds in ubuntu? | 19:49 |

| leal | mgolisch: http://pastebin.com/m6514a602 | 20:04 |
| mgolisch | so thats the problem | 20:04 |
| mgolisch | xorg uses the nv driver instead of the nvidia one | 20:04 |
| mgolisch | thats why it doesnt work | 20:05 |
| leal | i did change to nv to try it, and see if the procedure to replace would work | 20:05 |
| leal | but i ws using the nvidia one... | 20:05 |
| leal | do you want i change it to nvidia? i think the problem will persist... | 20:06 |
| mgolisch | did you install the nvidia drivers manualy before the update? | 20:06 |
| leal | no, i did the update by the update-manager. | 20:06 |
| mgolisch | and after the update did you boot the current kernel? the old one might not work as it doesnt fit the installed nvidia driver version | 20:06 |
| leal | all the procedure was nice. without errors. | 20:06 |
| leal | i did remove all the nvidia drivers, and did use aptitude to install the new ones. | 20:07 |
| nbeebo | why does this come? http://paste.ubuntu.com/92876/plain/ | 20:07 |
| mgolisch | id allways use the hardware driver thing | 20:07 |
| leal | nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common | 20:07 |
| mgolisch | as it enables building of the kernelmodules on boot and stuff | 20:08 |
| mgolisch | just installing nvidia-glx-foo might not do the trick | 20:08 |
| leal | so, what do you recommend? | 20:08 |
| mgolisch | leal: start jockey-gtk and enable the driver that way | 20:09 |
| mgolisch | if that doenst work we will go through enabling the kernelmodule build and stuff manualy | 20:09 |

| Flare183 | Gnea: Yeap | 20:42 |
| lekremyelsew | i know about wine but are there any ones that i can emulate a windows desktop with | 20:42 |
| br0ken1 | lol pulse_ | 20:42 |
| rinsmaster | chris78v, try tremulous, it rocks :) | 20:42 |
| AshTray- | Flare183: You did it first :) | 20:42 |
| Gnea | Flare183: i suggest you go read it again. now. | 20:43 |
| L0neWolf | allsystemsarego, I thought that too but I hit F11, it goes to fullscreen and then I hit it again and it returns to normal. http://www.r4wr.co.uk/uploads/foxy.jpg that's how it looks, it isn't fullscreen | 20:43 |
| pulse_ | there HAS to be one at least | 20:43 |
| Flare183 | chris78v: Trem is awesome | 20:43 |
| br0ken1 | lekremyelsew, VMware or something like it | 20:43 |
| Flare183 | Gnea: dang it My bad. | 20:43 |
| Flare183 | Sorry about that | 20:43 |
| rinsmaster | chris78v, there are allot of open source games based on the ioquake3 engine | 20:43 |
| soreau | lekremyelsew: google about virtualbox or vmware | 20:43 |
| * Flare183 saw what he did wrong | 20:43 | |
| br0ken1 | it will let you run an actual virtual machine of whatever OS you like | 20:43 |
| lekremyelsew | thx guys | 20:43 |
| rinsmaster | chris78v, also, some good closed ones (still free as in money) like urban terror | 20:43 |
| Polyneux | Greetings, fresh install of 8.10 Server, trying to set it to a static IP with my router, first time I've done it before I just used DHCP, when trying to sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart I get postconf:fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory O_o Maybe I set up /etc/network/interfaces wrong? O_o | 20:43 |
| Gnea | Flare183: I think it'll be alright... go drink some eggnog :) | 20:43 |
| |aspire| | is there any way to setup my software manager such that I do not install from the disk? | 20:44 |
| Flare183 | Gnea: Yeah, thanks for catching that (no sarcasm intended) | 20:44 |
| pulse_ | Polyneux: are you a relative to Molyneux ? | 20:44 |
| jopk | hi | 20:44 |
| AshTray- | Polyneux: Why did you mess around with the network config if you are usign DHCP ? The router assigns you and ip address and then remembers the mac address. | 20:44 |

| br0ken1 | anyone have a suggestion for me. i could not get sshd to stop so i removed it, but now i can still ssh to that machine | 20:44 |
| Gnea | br0ken1: did you try killing the pid? | 20:45 |
| joaopinto | br0ken1, sudo /etc/init.d/sshd stop | 20:45 |
| pulse_ | ok, I need to be away for a while, just flash me if some girls come around and needs help | 20:45 |
| Flare183 | br0ken1: You can't unless you use telnet | 20:45 |
| Gnea | br0ken1: killall -9 sshd | 20:45 |
| Polyneux | AshTray-: I'm not trying to use DHCP, I meant to say I was using DHCP -before- and now I'm trying to put a static IP on it so it doesnt change every time something is restarted. | 20:45 |
| Flare183 | pulse_: ot? | 20:45 |
| allsystemsarego | br0ken1, go to System-Aministration-Serices and disable ssh | 20:45 |
| br0ken1 | i did joaopinto | 20:45 |
| * Flare183 notes that ot = offtopic | 20:45 | |
| br0ken1 | i couldn't stop it like that either allsystemsarego | 20:45 |
| pulse_ | Flare183: it's not off topic, I wanna help with ubuntu related issues | 20:45 |
| Soobi | Does anyone know any hadware devices that would be suitable for my brother (non tech savvy) that connects to his HD TV, so when he puts in his USB stick with a bluray/HDDVD movie on, it'll play straight away?.. Or even any 'media' pc's with auto play for example. Thanks. | 20:45 |
| jopk | I've problems connection a bluetooth device... the BT gui sais "pairing failed" and hidd --connect sais "can't get device information: host down". any ideas how to pair the decive? | 20:46 |
| pulse_ | I never installed ubunto myself but Im sure Ill have interesting suggestions | 20:46 |
| Gnea | br0ken1: if anyone is connected via ssh, it's still going to show sshd running for that connection | 20:46 |
| Gnea | pulse_: running windows? | 20:46 |
| br0ken1 | well i'm not connected, if i try to ssh there now, i still get the password prompt | 20:46 |
| br0ken1 | and i thought that was only if a connection was made | 20:46 |
| L0neWolf | Anybody know why Firefox looks like this http://www.r4wr.co.uk/uploads/foxy.jpg (menu is missing, covers Gnome menubar) when it isn't fullscreen? | 20:46 |
| pulse_ | Gnea: yeah, how did you know?? | 20:46 |
| Flare183 | br0ken1: Try telnet | 20:46 |
| Gnea | pulse_: you're better off installing it before trying to help - there are a lot of specialised things involved | 20:46 |
| Gnea | !wubi | pulse_ | 20:46 |

| pulse_ | Gnea: as long as the girl doesnt find out it's okay | 20:46 |
| Gnea | pulse_: oh, it's her computer? | 20:47 |
| br0ken1 | ps -e | 20:47 |
| pulse_ | Gnea: heh, whatever, I stop annoying you :) | 20:47 |
| br0ken1 | ps -e | grep -i ssh shows nothing | 20:47 |
| Flare183 | L0neWolf: Fullscreen mode maybe? | 20:47 |
| * Org-Mode thinks pulse needs a cold shower | 20:47 | |
| Gnea | br0ken1: ps -axf | grep ssh | 20:47 |
| Flare183 | br0ken1: ps -ea | grep "ssh" | 20:48 |
| noone | wow... so fast.. :) | 20:48 |
| Flare183 | br0ken1: Try that | 20:48 |
| br0ken1 | nothing with either | 20:48 |
| L0neWolf | Flare183, I wish it was that simple. It isn't, I can put it in fullscreen and then when I switch back to normal it is how it should be. Never happened before yesterday | 20:48 |
| br0ken1 | but when u ssh to a machine, u are only prompted for the password if the ssh connection is made right? | 20:48 |
| Gnea | br0ken1: sudo netstat -nap | grep ssh | 20:48 |
| thejapanesegeek | I'm trying to recover some files off of a corrupted NTFS partition. Anyone have any experience with that? | 20:48 |
| dzup | ps <whatever> whithout the - | 20:48 |
| Flare183 | L0neWolf: Broken Session maybe? | 20:49 |
| br0ken1 | it says listening | 20:49 |
| L0neWolf | Flare183, I'm fairly new to Linux, care to explain what that is? o_o | 20:49 |
| Gnea | thejapanesegeek: you should be able to install ntfsprogs and use that to uncorrupt it | 20:49 |
| Gnea | br0ken1: yeah, and it lists the PID with it | 20:49 |
| br0ken1 | k so just kill it now? | 20:49 |
| Gnea | br0ken1: like that: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6658/sshd <--- 6658 is the PID | 20:50 |
| br0ken1 | hmm wtf.. no such PID | 20:50 |
| thejapanesegeek | Gnea: thanks | 20:50 |
| Flare183 | L0neWolf: Firefox has a internal Default session, it might have gotten messed up some how. | 20:50 |
| br0ken1 | k got it now | 20:51 |
| L0neWolf | Flare183, I thought it might be a corrupt file so I tried reinstalling using Synaptic just before I came in here with no luck. Would that fix such an error? | 20:51 |
| br0ken1 | mistyped a number lol | 20:51 |

| r|z0n | Hi there, I have an older laptop (Dell Inspiron 8100) that has a DVD player in it, and I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid on here, however it will not play any DVD's in Totem or VLC.. is there anything special which I need to do to get this laptop to play DVD's | 20:59 |
| |aspire| | allsystemsarego: yes I have that, but when I for example search telnet then I get four packet but only the client is available and not the server | 21:00 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 21:00 |
| carpii | i have a Creative X-Fi soundcard which isnt supported, and also a primitive sound device on my keyboard which was working in the past. But now even this doesnt work. How can I begin troubleshooting it? I dont even know where to start :/ | 21:00 |
| onetinsoldier | keres: although i've never used them, you'll probably want to take a look at and use one of these --> imagemagick, graphicsmagick, gimp | 21:01 |
| allsystemsarego | |aspire|, do you not get telnetd? | 21:01 |
| |aspire| | no, I dont unerstand ??? | 21:01 |
| L0neWolf | Flare183, That got it, something must've been corrupt (odd!) so I moved profile info out, let it create a new one and copied back. All working now, my thanks to you :) | 21:01 |

| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, run the command: dpkg -l | grep libdvd | 21:04 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, what is the output? | 21:04 |
| Flare183 | wp_: The user should say root, but the group should say plugdev | 21:04 |
| r|z0n | I get 3 lines when I run the command, ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 then ii libdvdnav4 4.1.2-3, and ii libdvdread3 0.9.7-11ubuntu2 | 21:05 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras on your system? | 21:06 |
| |aspire| | Gnea: this provides me with more options than the gui which does not make sense at all | 21:06 |
| r|z0n | i am not sure, will package manager tell me if its installed? | 21:06 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, yes, look for it in synaptic | 21:07 |
| r|z0n | no its not installed | 21:07 |

| r|z0n | Says it conflicts with other installed software. | 21:07 |
| |aspire| | allsystemsarego: I dont think it makes a difference | 21:07 |
| r|z0n | i went to terminal and apt-get it | 21:08 |
| r|z0n | its currently downloading it | 21:08 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, ok, do you have the package w32codecs? | 21:08 |
| bonhoffer | is there anyway to use the keyboard to scroll in a terminal window? | 21:08 |
| carandraug | bonhoffer: Shift+Page up | 21:09 |
| Gnea | |aspire|: i don't understand what you mean. there should be a list with a bunch of checkboxes next to them in the first tab | 21:09 |
| r|z0n | i dont think i do, i believe i need it as well, right? | 21:09 |
| bonhoffer | cool -- what is the default window manager in ubuntu? -- i just remember it is pronounced very differently than it is written | 21:09 |
| Gnea | bonhoffer: guh-nome | 21:10 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, are you on 32-bit Ubuntu? | 21:10 |

| r|z0n | yes | 21:10 |
| r|z0n | allsystemsarego, yes 32bit | 21:10 |
| |aspire| | Gnea: I dont get a proper list of the software | 21:10 |
| allsystemsarego | r|z0n, read instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 21:10 |
| |aspire| | I have one OS installed and another in the vm | 21:10 |
| bonhoffer | Gnea, o.k. this is where i am confused -- isn't there something wrapped on top of gnome? | 21:10 |

| itscodyxx | To install Murrine SVT | 21:49 |
| itscodyxx | It needs a version of libpango 1.19 or lower. | 21:49 |

| justizin | i have some things to do today myself other than figure out how to rebuild apt's files. ;) | 23:10 |
| justizin | though, that is an *awesome* reason that nexenta's apt-clone func is teh super useful. | 23:11 |
| ToHellWithGA | jin: i'll see what i can do | 23:11 |
| ToHellWithGA | if that doesn't work i'll come back. thanks | 23:11 |
| MatBoy | mhh, no konserve in ubuntu ? | 23:11 |
| hydester | audacity 1.3.4 is beta, though. still not sure where the latest option would be | 23:11 |
| arbir | justizin: reading through past things..... i dont really understand that..... | 23:11 |
| arbir | justizin: and i was always wondering, is there no way to rebuild this file ? | 23:11 |
| justizin | hydester: it's not very clear what you did to check or what the result is. sharing a conclusion with someone you want help with is not very helpful to them, trying to help you. ;) | 23:12 |
| arbir | justizin: even if it takes 1 hr to rebuild this file.. i am prepared to do this | 23:12 |
| justizin | if your conclusion is that you're screwed, i can't help you, unless you give me a chance to find some evidence contrary to your conclusion which you've overlooked. | 23:12 |
| justizin | arbir: sure, i just don't know how, you need to take this opportunity to learn more about apt, what that file is. | 23:12 |
| hydester | justizin, so what should i show you? | 23:12 |
| justizin | clearly someone spoonfed you a solution which left me in *less* of an ability to help you | 23:12 |
| Promille | hm.. couldnt find out how to determine the bitrate with audacity.. looks to complicated for my simple task :P anyhow know an alternative way? | 23:12 |
| justizin | hydester: outp0ut of a full command and what the command was is a good start. | 23:13 |
| * Org-Mode wants justizin typing abilities :) | 23:13 | |
| justizin | apt-cache audacity may show you more than one option for audacity. if you want a non-beta, you want an older versin. | 23:13 |
| arbir | Promille: you have to read audacity man pages.. | 23:13 |
| justizin | Org-Mode: I took a year-long keyboarding class in 12th grade (about ten years ago) and raced my instructor in the final. | 23:13 |
| Org-Mode | lol | 23:13 |
| MatBoy | is keep the only best GUI solution for backups on a workstation ? | 23:13 |
| justizin | miguel de icaza actually commented that until we chatted the only person he knew who could type faster than him was nat friedman ;d | 23:13 |
| hydester | apt-cache showpkg audacity: http://mibbit.com/pb/fLxUR0 | 23:14 |
| justizin | hydester: that's not what i asked at all, is it? ;) | 23:14 |
| tehloki | I have a pangolin performance from system 76 http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=86 and my bluetooth adapter doesn't seem to exist. What can i do? | 23:14 |
| justizin | showpkg probably resolves what apt-get install would, and shows you. | 23:14 |
| tehloki | could this be a software issue or is it most likely not functioning? | 23:14 |
| justizin | apt-cache search audacity* will have more concise output and contain the information we need to proceed. | 23:14 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm having some trouble getting bluetooth working on a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I know the dongle works in another machine, and it shows up in lsusb on this one, but still nothing in 'hcitool dev' output. What can I check next? | 23:14 |
| memimomo | ok, i remember now, I used envy to install the nvidia driver | 23:15 |
| memimomo | I'm running envy again | 23:15 |
| hydester | apt-cache search audacity: http://mibbit.com/pb/6ZWWtG | 23:15 |
| justizin | tehloki, tonyyarusso: honestly my bt just works, but you guys might want to compare notes and learn from each other's challenges. | 23:15 |
| justizin | memimomo: if something's missing, thinking about where it came from in the first place is always a good idea. | 23:15 |
| justizin | and if something is not provided by apt/dpkg for you, create a tar file with it ;) | 23:15 |
| justizin | and, glad i could help, if only minimally. | 23:16 |
| tehloki | justizin: i don't have a dongle, there is apparently an internal bluetooth device | 23:17 |
| tehloki | the website said the laptop "came with bluetooth" | 23:17 |
| tehloki | although it doesn't show up, and not in windows either. | 23:17 |
| justizin | tehloki: i just don't know much about configuring or debugging bluetooth. i bought a little nipple that sits on my netbook when i want to use my apple keyboard ;d | 23:17 |
| justizin | not in windows, either, eh? | 23:17 |
| justizin | did it come with windows installed? | 23:18 |
| hydester | justizin, did you see my apt-cache search? | 23:18 |
| Suhail | Anyone know the package to get apache's ab? | 23:18 |
| justizin | hydester: sorry must have scrolled off, one sec pls | 23:18 |
| bonhoffer | i just changed the sound output (to headset) in "sound preferences" -- but still getting system sound -- how do i 'reboot' the sound preferences? | 23:18 |
| tehloki | justizin: no, i ran gparted live and made a new partition and installed winxp on it | 23:18 |
| bonhoffer | or force the change to be applied | 23:18 |
| justizin | hydester: okay, so, this suggests there is only one version of audacity. there are a good few other apps which you'll find multiple entries for. python, esp. | 23:18 |
| justizin | tehloki: nothing came installed on the machine? | 23:18 |
| justizin | or, a vendor linux that you blew away? | 23:19 |
| tehloki | justizin: it came with ubuntu. | 23:19 |
| justizin | oh, then, i'd call the manufacturer and ask WTF is up with your bluetooth not working. ;) | 23:19 |
| tehloki | system76 does that. | 23:19 |
| tehloki | i'll do that | 23:19 |
| justizin | yah asus does as well on eee i think, and acer seems possibly on the way to | 23:19 |
| justizin | sorry i can't help more, but i mean, if you buy something with ubuntu on it, make those guys tell you. :) | 23:19 |
| justizin | i know that probably wont get you fixed on xmas day, thoug | 23:20 |
| justizin | i say find ubuntu usb howto or something. | 23:20 |

| hydester | justizin, my real issue is this beta version of audacity uses portaudio19 and doesn't seem to output audio. so i tried the last stable version (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/audacity/audacity_1.2.6-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb) which works great. just was hoping for a more elegant way via apt instead of having to download debs | 23:20 |
| hydester | which then got my wondering why beta was in the main distro source anyway | 23:21 |
| FAJALOU | kitche: it's because my mp3 player only supports mp3 encoding... so i found how to encode in banshee in mp3. thanks for your help | 23:21 |
| justizin | hydester: yah it's really a shame that a beta is in the LTS repository, i'd say, personally, that might be worthy of a bug report. even if someone disputes, you might push and get a policy change or something. | 23:21 |
| hydester | justizin, fair enough. | 23:21 |
| justizin | hydester: you might be able to put that in your own repo, but it still won't be the latest 'audacity' package, you'd have to force a ver#, which is at least as much trouble as just dpkg -i | 23:21 |
| justizin | read about PPA if not famil | 23:22 |

| spottedzebra | whats the channel name for ubuntu off topic | 23:46 |
| Slart | wp_: usually you add something to the mount command (in /etc/fstab) | 23:47 |
| bonhoffer | is there a way to delete all files in a directory tree that are not *.txt files? | 23:47 |

| fbc | donavan, booncer , i think fbi was using knoppix | 23:55 |
| justizin | bonhoffer: man find, i'm pretty sure it has exclude ability, or you can pipe through grep -v, which i often do, to remove entries containing any string. with egrep always, grep sometimes, you can do something like grep -v ^/some/path.*$ | 23:56 |
| justizin | this says "exclude anything beginning in /some/path followed by any number of characters matching any pattern, including none. | 23:57 |
