| wp_ | Slart: thx... I found something that I maybe can use ;9 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| fbc | does ubuntu have an AUTOMATOR like application? You know like the one on a MAC with a gui? | 00:00 |
| Slart | wp_: alright.. what was it? | 00:00 |
| Stanlin | help, how can i debug booting problems??? | 00:00 |
| jkenn337 | hey, if anyone can help me get ubuntu up and running on my dell dimension8200 can you email me at jkenn337@gmail.com? | 00:01 |
| Delvien | Stanlin whats the issue? | 00:01 |
| Slart | fbc: I don't know about the others but I have no idea what you're talking about.. I'm .. using ubuntu.. *surprise* =) | 00:01 |
| wp_ | found the gid | 00:01 |
| jkenn337 | that's, jkenn337@gmail.com ... my name is Josh. | 00:01 |
| fbc | Stanlin, there's alog that get created upon boot, you might want to check that | 00:01 |
| Slart | wp_: that sounds familiar | 00:01 |
| sthiago | Anyone succeded running 8.10 under a VIA chrome9 HC igp? | 00:01 |
| Stanlin | Delvien: my ATI drivers are missing, the boot hangs, but pushing CTRL + ALT+ DEL continues and boots, but i have no clue where is stucked, is there a way to remove the splash Ubuntu logo and follow the booting messages? | 00:02 |
| fbc | Slart, ? what are you talking about? which question were you responding to? | 00:02 |
| Delvien | Stalin boot to recovery mode from grub | 00:03 |
| matthias__ | how can i check if an unit is recognized by ubuntu but not mounted ?? | 00:03 |
| fbc | Stanlin, SYSTEM>>ADMINISTRATION>>system log | 00:03 |
| Delvien | matthias__: unit? | 00:03 |
| matthias__ | by the USB port | 00:03 |
| Slart | fbc: "does ubuntu have an AUTOMATOR like application? You know like the one on a MAC with a gui?" I have no idea what AUTOMATOR is.. | 00:03 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: yes i have bought an Zen mp3 player but when i connectthe supplided USB able no icon show up on the desktop ... | 00:03 |
| Stanlin | fbc thanks | 00:03 |
| Delvien | matthias__: in a terminal "mount" without quotes, pastebin the results | 00:04 |
| sthiago | Is it even possible to run chrome9? i cant even get to any useful screen, on recovery mode i can run root command line, but my attempts didn't work.. | 00:05 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: okey hold on ... | 00:05 |
| [e]Lement | Is there any quick way in Gnome to change the default icon size, and how far they are spaced apart in columns? | 00:05 |
| fbc | Slart, Ahh.. automator is a macro language for the interface.. for example you right click on a file and have it open up in gimp change it into sepia and save it as a gif then open it in thunderbird and attach it to an email | 00:05 |
| fbc | Slart, On a mac it's very powerful and you can automate alot of tedious tasks. | 00:06 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: http://pastebin.com/d6d8768ff | 00:06 |
| Slart | fbc: ahh.. well..that sounds very handy.. the only thing I've seen that even comes close would be xmacro.. but I think it's a bit more primitive | 00:06 |
| spottedzebra | went to ubuntu off topic but they were not helpful. my ext hd recently stopped mounting on windows and ubuntu, the last os it mounted to was ubuntu. it has been experienced to normal usage except dropped a few times ( but i think this is normal, some dont) | 00:07 |
| hischild | Slart, that's called command line? | 00:07 |
| Slart | fbc: but I most linux people would use a script | 00:07 |
| Delvien | matthias__: ok, doesnt look like its recognizing the mp3 player, do a "dmesg" in a terminal and pastebin the results | 00:07 |
| fbc | Slart, yeah but you can't script inside a program.. you can write a script that will open gimp, but not control it once it's open. right? | 00:08 |
| spottedzebra | any ideas would be greatly appericated | 00:08 |
| Slart | fbc: never say never with linux.. most stuff has some kind of python interface or similar | 00:08 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: could be that the Hardware failed, is it plugged in right now? | 00:08 |
| hischild | fbc, but you can use a script to do whatever you would want to have done. Besides, most apps understand CLI commands. | 00:08 |
| Slart | fbc: and lets not forget.. everything you can do in Gimp you can probably do with imagemagick =) | 00:08 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien, no but i can get it if you have any ideas | 00:09 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: get it, plug it in | 00:09 |
| justizin | fbc: learn about gnustep if you like mac-style of development, both are based on NeXTStep. | 00:09 |
| spottedzebra | one second | 00:09 |
| justizin | also etoile for progressively similar desktop env | 00:10 |
| sthiago | VIA Chrome9 on 8.10 ne1? | 00:10 |
| justizin | have to build both from source, no ubuntu packages, to get latest code working, very interesting, not sure how stable. | 00:10 |
| wp_ | Slart: I dound a command under the vfat sying " uid=value and gid=value" but how do I use that to make gid 46? I tried gid=46, gid 46 and 46 without results | 00:10 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: http://pastebin.com/d1e7ae445 | 00:10 |
| * justizin has thought of building a GNOMEStep env to have ObjC and CoreFoundation+friend wrapped around GNOME. | 00:10 | |
| Slart | wp_: I'm not sure.. have you tried googling for it? there must be some kind of tutorial out there | 00:11 |
| spottedzebra | ocRob, you still in here | 00:11 |
| dbu | hi, this is a gstreamer question, what package do i need to run the gstreamer plugin ffenc_h264p i have gstreamer0.10-plugins- good,ugly,bad,ffmpeg, but it is not in the list in gst-inspect... | 00:11 |
| fbc | Slart, justizin , Yeah, i was just hoping there was something user friendly already made. That maybe even included a wizard that would walk you through creating your first macro or something of the like. | 00:11 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien, plugged in. ps im in windows | 00:11 |
| wp_ | Slart: I have seen this kind of documentation before in the man pages, but never had to use it... but I google it then | 00:12 |
| Delvien | matthias__: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd & new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd |||| Do you have your bios set to non-standard full/low speed? | 00:12 |
| justizin | fbc: the environment isn't architecturally similar. automator relies upon the NeXTStep-derived APIs in OSX's Cocoa.. | 00:12 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: just like to ask you, i have in my linux at work dissabled some tty:s but do not remeber if i did the same here ???, do not think so, i have an USB hub connected top the computer and working but still can i, i have 6 usb connections on the computer and right now using 2 USB ports connected | 00:12 |
| justizin | sadly, Apple just isn't as excited about F/OSS as I wish they were. I love my mac's UI, and my ubuntu's console. it's a sad divergene IMO. :/ | 00:12 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra:I don't assist with windows, can you boot into linux? | 00:12 |
| justizin | I mean the freakin' company barely cares about selling computers since the iPhone came out. | 00:12 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: to be honest i have not made any changes in BIOS, this is an Dell laptop, what cna i do right now ??? | 00:13 |
| Delvien | matthias__: Well lets label that as a possibilty, can you plug it into the port on the computer | 00:13 |
| * justizin is afraid OSX will go the way of amiga and be something most folks never see, but hear about from wrinkled geeks | 00:13 | |
| justizin | (and which isn't, thusly, able to positively influence continued development) | 00:13 |
| Slart | fbc: mm.. there might very well be something out there but I haven't seen it.. and I think the demand isn't that big since most people would just go with a command line tool instead of starting a clunky interface | 00:13 |
| fbc | justizin, I know linux would have something better to build off of. I'm not worried about that. | 00:13 |
| justizin | you're wrong, sorry. | 00:13 |
| Delvien | matthias__: still reading over your dmesg. pastebin the results of dmesg | grep -i usb please | 00:13 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien, yea do you know the terminal command for the applet; its something like /nm -applet but im not sure if that is right | 00:13 |
| justizin | linux is a kernel, it has absolutely nothing to do with the 1970s-style gui we use. | 00:13 |
| Slart | fbc: but if you're just going to play with images I would recommend imagemagick.. it does all kinds of tricks.. there are easy command line apps for sending mail too | 00:14 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien, in ubuntu | 00:14 |
| xtknight | dbu, you mean x264enc? | 00:14 |
| justizin | NeXT is the only interesting tech advancement since then in GUI autonomy, and it's only ever been very accepted as OSX. assuming that our foreward-looking licensing stance, as a community, means we'll have Apple's advancements is a logical fallacy. We only leave the door open for Apple to use Linux and license more freely. | 00:15 |
| xtknight | or at least that's an alternative you may use | 00:15 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: Plug in the usb and in a terminal "dmesg | grep -i usb" without quotes, pastebin the results | 00:15 |
| wp_ | A man page problem... I have use flags like -a -t -Th before now... but now I got to use a flag called gid=value.... how to use that? tried a lot of combos without succes | 00:15 |
| dbu | xtknight: maybe, but shouldn't i have ffenc_h264p? | 00:15 |
| xtknight | dbu, otherwise you may need to compile gstreamer ffmpeg plugin with h264 support inside it. or something like that. maybe ./configure options ubuntu has not enabled, or maybe the plugin isnt enabled in that version of gstreamer | 00:15 |
| xtknight | dbu, im not sure what the p at the end is for? | 00:16 |
| dbu | xtknight: me neither. | 00:16 |
| dbu | :P | 00:16 |
| dbu | 1080p quality maybe? | 00:16 |
| Delvien | matthias__: I didnt really see anything in your dmesg to say that it was or was not recognizing your mp3 player, is this a brand new one? (guessing since its christmas | 00:16 |
| Slart | wp_: here's an example.. /dev/sda3 /mnt/fat32 vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 | 00:16 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien, sorry wrong idea there, i need the command for ubuntu to get the applet that tells you what networks are avaliable near you, im not in ubuntu ... yet | 00:16 |
| Slart | wp_: that's for fstab | 00:17 |
| xtknight | dbu, perhaps. googling it yields no results. so i think ffmpeg_h264 would naturally include both progressive and interlaced support though. anyway, i suggest trying gstreamer and ffmpeg cvs to isolate problem areas | 00:17 |
| Orchid` | erver/join #winehq | 00:17 |
| xtknight | ffenc_h264 i mean | 00:17 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: http://pastebin.com/d14f85327 the Zen player is connected and the charging icon is turned on but nothing else ... | 00:17 |
| Delvien | matthias__: model number? | 00:17 |
| Slart | wp_: also this page has some info.. and more links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab | 00:17 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: Im confused then, werent you haveing a HDD issue? | 00:17 |
| dbu | xtknight: ty. | 00:18 |
| wp_ | Slart: hmmmm... so i have to write "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Sony gid=46" to get it working? | 00:18 |
| Delvien | matthias__: jeeeez how long has your laptop been on? | 00:18 |
| hischild | Delvien, yes he was | 00:18 |
| xtknight | yup | 00:18 |
| Slart | wp_: those commands were for fstab.. I think it's different when using the mount command.. hang on | 00:18 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: nm-applet --sm-disable | 00:18 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: a couple of hours seeing movies ... | 00:18 |
| sthiago | Chome9 is possible? :) | 00:18 |
| Delvien | matthias__: i see alot of disconnects. | 00:19 |
| Delvien | matthias__: what's the model of the Zen? | 00:19 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: well i have some problems eith the wireless so i am connected by cable and nit wirelessly ... | 00:19 |
| wp_ | Slart: I am reading your wiki now... and If I change the fstab then I don't need to write a specifik mount command every time, but maybe I am so lucky that it will auto mount my device? | 00:19 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien, thats what i needed thanks | 00:19 |
| Slart | wp_: I think it will be "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Sony -o uid=XXX,gid=XXX" or something like that | 00:20 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: run that with alt F2 or with & at the end of it in the terminal | 00:20 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: hmmm, stupid question but i can not see any model number on it or on the package but let me see the manual | 00:20 |
| Delvien | matthias__: IOW: name of the player, it shouldnt just say ZEN, if so, I want to smite that company. | 00:21 |
| Slart | wp_: I don't think you can just set the gid.. but I'm not sure.. as I said.. I've never played around with fat32 enough | 00:21 |
| pr0nGuy | Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu for the first time. Is someone available who can guide me through? | 00:22 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: ZEN CREATIVE with 2.5 inch scrren | 00:22 |
| matthias__ | screen | 00:22 |
| savvas | wp_: why don't you use ext3? | 00:22 |
| Delvien | slart wp_ like so "/dev/sdd1 /media/external vfat users,defaults,umask=000 0 0 | 00:22 |
| Delvien | slart wp_ thats for my external drive, usb HDD to be exact. | 00:22 |
| Slart | Delvien: ah...nice | 00:23 |
| Delvien | matthias no model number? | 00:23 |
| piksi | pr0nGuy: i'm leaving in a sec but in most cases there's not much to guide through. burn the ISO to a cd with e.g. infrarecorder and boot it up, follow the instructions | 00:23 |
| savvas | pr0nGuy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php | 00:23 |
| piksi | pr0nGuy: first boot from the cd to the desktop to see that all devices are detected etc | 00:23 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: let me check got it as an christmas present ... | 00:23 |
| pr0nGuy | I already put the disk in and I just started, but I'm sure I'll have some ?s. | 00:23 |
| piksi | pr0nGuy: and there are good well written walkthroughs on the net (on ubuntus site etc) | 00:23 |

| wp_ | Delvien savvas slart: The problem is that everytime I mount my vfat drive i am not able to chmod it to 777, (So I am able to load/save music files unto it) it accepts the command but nothing happens | 00:25 |
| pr0nGuy | piksi: I just started the installation, but I'll ask when there is something I don'tunderstand. | 00:25 |
| Delvien | wp_ pastbin your /etc/fstab, and also, how are you mounting it? | 00:25 |
| Delvien | wp_ slart i missed half the convo, sorry for butting in | 00:26 |
| savvas | wp_: ok, why don't you format your drive to ext3 ? I don't know the situation, but if you need it for windows, you can use the fs-driver: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 00:26 |
| Slart | Delvien: no worries =) | 00:26 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: a lot like that one but with 2Gb of memmory ... | 00:26 |
| UnknownUser56 | c | 00:26 |
| Delvien | savvas shouldnt need that, if its fat32, vfat mounting works fine | 00:26 |
| wp_ | Delvien savvas slart: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Sony -o uid=1000,gid=1000 http://pastebin.com/d18b2139d | 00:26 |

| spottedzebra | Delvien: i am not in the ubuntu os | 00:27 |

| wp_ | Delvien savvas slart: the specific purpose is that it is my sony NWZ-A815 mp3-player I try to mount and load with all my good music... and I don't think its software is to happy getting formatted? | 00:28 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: the 2GB version is the one, it is the same but less internal memory | 00:28 |

| Elling_ | so, im completely new to ubuntu, is installing a usb-stick wireless network adapter as hard as it seems? or am i missing something fundamental? i've done some research into ndiswrapper, but im having trouble getting the instructed terminal commands to work | 00:28 |

If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences." | 00:29 |
| Delvien | in your fstab, append: "/dev/sdb1 /media/Sony vfat users,defaults,umask000 0 0" reboot and see if that works. | 00:29 |

| Delvien | memimomo: add any new repos lately? | 00:32 |
| Delvien | matthias__: Zens require a "sync" program ive im not mistaken | 00:32 |
| memimomo | Delvien: no, but I did do some kind of upgrade | 00:32 |
| memimomo | I'm still on feisty fawn | 00:32 |

| Slart | wp_: you're welcome | 00:33 |
| Delvien | memimomo: did your upgrade break anything? | 00:33 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: i saw this on the forum" ou will need to install "libnjb5" to allow the other programs to access the Zen" | 00:33 |
| memimomo | delvien: it broke my nvidia drivers but I recoverd with envy | 00:33 |
| === Tory|Wino is now known as Tory|Issues | ||
| Delvien | matthias__: well there you go, "sudo apt-get install libnjb5" | 00:33 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: but does it have to do with mount the unit ??? | 00:33 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92983/, here is the command and pastebin of "mount" | 00:33 |
| Delvien | memimomo: I wouldnt worry about it too much then, revert to normal repos and if it gives you too much trouble dist upgrade to the next version. | 00:34 |
| Delvien | matthias__: probably. a "handshake" is often required for these wacky mp3 players | 00:34 |
| memimomo | Delvien: how do I revert to a "normat" repository. I didn't touch the sources.list file | 00:35 |
| Stanlin | fbc what is the logs im looking for booting? | 00:35 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: is the usb HDD plugged in? | 00:35 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: the Ipod works right out of the box and some cheaper no display players ... | 00:35 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien: yes | 00:35 |
| Delvien | memimomo: if you havent changed anything, my best guess is the feisty repos are temporarily broken or no longer maintained. | 00:35 |

| matthias__ | Delvien: another question if i like to convert movies to this screen size any default player that does that ? | 00:36 |
| Delvien | Slart memimomo well theres the answer, thanks slart | 00:36 |
| Slart | memimomo: support ended in october.. I think there is an old repository archived somewhere.. | 00:36 |
| memimomo | Delvien: so what do I do? change the sources.list and upgrade? | 00:36 |
| Slart | memimomo: I've seen it mentioned before.. but I don't remember the url | 00:37 |
| memimomo | hmmm | 00:37 |
| Delvien | matthias__: you have to remember, the zen is a less popular player, therefore not alot of people are working on 3rd party apps/drivers to make it work. Ipod is the most popular and most used mp3 player | 00:37 |
| Delvien | memimomo: sec, ill get you the command. | 00:37 |
| memimomo | Delvien: I think I am going to have to do this another day. running out of time. I can just google it | 00:38 |
| memimomo | thanks for your help | 00:38 |
| matthias__ | Delvien: okey, thanks i will get back to you to tell me about this full speed thing on the USBs you told me in a while if you still are there just let me install this perogram from synoptics ... | 00:38 |
| Delvien | memimomo: in a terminal "gksu update-manager -d" on the top it should have "upgrade distro" or something, I do mine by terminal | 00:38 |
| memimomo | ok, thanks a lot | 00:38 |
| Delvien | matthias__: in the bios, there is an option for "high speed usb" just check it out, not sure if that could or could not be it. | 00:39 |
| koshar3 | how could i log events from a live session? could i mount a usb drive and pipe the dmesg outputs to a file on that? because the standard /var/ will be in dynamic ram and wont be able to be accessed on subsequent boots?? | 00:39 |

| matthias__ | Delvien: thanks will restart computer and see if it get mounted ... | 00:45 |
| hansel | zamba - I think you need to get http://freshmeat.net/projects/iptstate/ | 00:45 |
| Delvien | matthias__: k | 00:45 |
| zamba | hansel: if i establish connections directly from my laptop to a remote end, the connection gets terminated whenever i send lots of data to the end.. but if i first ssh to the gateway and from there establish the connection to the remote end, it works just fine | 00:45 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: might wanna check the cables | 00:45 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: could be faulty connection or loose :) | 00:46 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien: whats up with that, it does have a pretty crappy cable | 00:46 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: I'm guessing thats the culprit | 00:46 |

| zamba | i have another problem.. i'm running flashhybrid on a router where i run the os from flash memory.. when trying to remount / in ro mode, i get the following error: | 00:49 |
| zamba | mount: / is busy | 00:49 |
| Delvien | Jonty_ might want to ask the guys in #kubuntu, if that is a KDE app | 00:49 |
| zamba | so some process is keeping / busy | 00:49 |
| Jonty_ | Delvien: ok | 00:49 |
| zamba | how can i figure out which? | 00:49 |
| Delvien | zamba why are you trying to mount / as RO? thats the dir that you are running your OS in | 00:49 |
| === abcdefghijkalmmo is now known as koolzuur | ||
| hansel | zamba - you cant unmount then remount your root filesystem... | 00:50 |
| hansel | you need to change the settings in /etc/fstab then reboot if you really want it ro for whatever reason | 00:50 |
| Org-Mode | zamba: think of / as C:\windows | 00:51 |
| Delvien | only better | 00:51 |
| Delvien | :D | 00:51 |
| Org-Mode | yea! :) | 00:51 |
| === koolzuur is now known as amaizeg | ||
| zamba | Delvien: this is flashybrid | 00:51 |

| savvas | zamba: I think you're trying to use the chroot command? | 00:52 |
| mib_45uzc2 | I just leased an ubuntu 8.10 server, installed ubuntu-desktop on it, now it will not boot up properly and I can't access it, the datacenter guys sent me this "Your server freezes while loading the Ubuntu Desktop (Xfree86). We booted in single mode to start networking but it will not start. Please send instruction on how to stop XFree from loading." | 00:52 |
| Org-Mode | savvas: maybe so, but im trying to tell him / is important | 00:52 |
| Delvien | zamba "flashybrid is a Debian package that automates use of a flash disk as the root filesystem." You still dont want / as ro. You wont be able to do much, and could run into huge errors" | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | hansel: oh crap man, sorry,,, i thought i was in club-ubuntu | 00:52 |
| ksakjas | does the livecd have gparted on it? | 00:52 |

| mgolisch | if not install it | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | i've been doing that w/ more frequency more lately, | 00:53 |
| zamba | Delvien: 'mountro' is a command for mounting / in ro mode.. it then bind mounts parts of the ramfs over / | 00:53 |
| mgolisch | provided you have internet | 00:53 |
| hansel | mib_45uzc2: have them remove that package.. :) | 00:53 |

| Delvien | mib_45uzc2: My first question, why install non-server ubuntu to a server? | 00:53 |
| hansel | mib_45uzc2: running a GUI on a server is NOT a good idea btw... eats up all sorts of resources unnecessarily. | 00:53 |
| zamba | Delvien: believe me, it works | 00:54 |
| Delvien | hansel mib_45uzc2 I agree with hansel, thats where i was going | 00:54 |
| zamba | Delvien: # mount | 00:54 |
| zamba | /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (ro,errors=remount-ro) | 00:54 |
| Delvien | zamba, well ok :P | 00:54 |
| zamba | /ram/tmp on /tmp type none (rw,bind) | 00:54 |
| zamba | /ram/etc on /etc type none (rw,bind) | 00:54 |
| irgumborg | can i do this whole live cd remastering using a live cd? :) | 00:54 |
| irgumborg | i mean without installing ubuntu first | 00:54 |
| mib_45uzc2 | thanks | 00:54 |

| Delvien | irgumborg: I don't believe you can | 00:55 |

| zamba | so my question is still: how do i see which process is blocking /? | 00:55 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien: switched out the cables and still nothing | 00:55 |
| zamba | 'lsof'? | 00:55 |
| savvas | irgumborg: you'll need a second cd drive probably to burn it, because the one with the live cd will be locked :) | 00:55 |
| hansel | Andre_Gondim: you will need to install software to do that... or you can SSH to the box and you can create popups to :0 (their desktop) using some sort of create window command... | 00:55 |

| savvas | why not? i think you can make one | 00:56 |
| hansel | Andre_Gondim: but if you want to use net send messages like in Windows you will need to install a piece of software to do that... | 00:56 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: in other words, I dont think its software related | 00:56 |
| irgumborg | i take it right that ubuntu can be installed onto a USB stick? | 00:56 |
| spottedzebra | Delvien: is it time to look at the warranty and see if i can get a new one then? | 00:56 |
| savvas | irgumborg: you might have better results if you boot from a USB with it, and remaster it as you go | 00:56 |
| Andre_Gondim | hansel, what is the program? | 00:57 |
| Delvien | spottedzebra: Probably. | 00:57 |

| Delvien | precision_: Well how could I tell if you didnt have another cdrom drive :p | 00:59 |
| precision_ | Delvien: when I put a audio cd in the cdrom it works fine, just data cdrom's wont mount. Have you heard of this problem before | 00:59 |
| Delvien | precision_: Yeah, is this a burned data cdrom? | 00:59 |
| ch33zer | Delvien: like 5 years so kind of old. Any clue how to get the install started from command line | 01:00 |

| johan_j | fins det någon svensk här som kan hjälpa mig? | 01:00 |
| Delvien | ch33zer: you can install from the cd using "minimal installation" in the options when you boot to the cd option menu. and then once installed "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 01:00 |

| Blaze_Boy | i'v downloaded kde4-core but it didn't work i then installed kde4 package but it didn't work i have the message dbus cannot load or something ? what should i do? | 01:22 |
| mgolisch | matthias_: it doenst actualy mount the players filesystem but uses some prorietary protcol to exchange files with it | 01:22 |
| mgolisch | just unplug the cable if the transfer is finished | 01:22 |
| mgolisch | thats what i did too when i had that nomad player | 01:23 |
| Decepticon | savvas the command you gave me does the same thing... shows 'PCI (sysfs)' ... and /tmp/testor exists and it is empty | 01:23 |
| matthias_ | mgolisch: so no worry to damage the files or something like it can on SD cards that i mount and unmount ??? | 01:23 |
| dbu | hansel: I mean as in I want to find out the folder that the compiled files are moved to when i run the command, so that i can use them for compiling from source to the correct directory. | 01:23 |
| veloc1ty | Blaze_Boy, what are you trying to do? | 01:23 |
| savvas | Decepticon: what does this command return: sudo lshw -short | 01:23 |
| Marius_ | so what does "quiet" in /boot/grub/menu.lst mean? | 01:23 |
| hansel | dbu - oh... well once you run ./configure it will update the makefile and you can look in there... | 01:23 |
| mgolisch | matthias_: shouldnt be, atlast i never managed to hoss it that way | 01:23 |
| lasivian_ | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/92997/ | 01:23 |
| Blaze_Boy | veloc1ty: installing kde4 on ubuntu hardy | 01:23 |
| carmelo | hi | 01:23 |
| matthias_ | thaks | 01:24 |
| mgolisch | Marius_: it disables display of the kernel messages | 01:24 |
| matthias_ | thanks a lot | 01:24 |
| Decepticon | savvas returns: http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1230254721 | 01:24 |
| mgolisch | Marius_: so it will be quit untill the initrd kicks off | 01:24 |
| veloc1ty | have you tried to install the kubuntu-desktop package? | 01:24 |
| mgolisch | qiuet | 01:24 |
| veloc1ty | that should work out | 01:24 |
| matthias_ | Delvien: thanks to you too ... | 01:24 |
| Blaze_Boy | veloc1ty: i'll try | 01:24 |
| carmelo | shoul i ask something someone?... it's my firs time | 01:24 |
| Delvien | matthias_: np | 01:24 |
| carmelo | first* | 01:24 |
| hansel | !ask | carmelo | 01:25 |
| ubottu | carmelo: 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. :-) | 01:25 |
| savvas | Decepticon: what does this say: echo $USER | 01:25 |
| Decepticon | savvas bizinichi | 01:25 |
| Decepticon | savvas thats who i am on the machine | 01:25 |
| savvas | Decepticon: try: sudo -s | 01:25 |
| Decepticon | savvas ok | 01:25 |
| savvas | Decepticon: and then: lshw -short | 01:25 |
| Flannel | lasivian_: You have type and options merged. It's not type,option1,option2 but type option1,option2 | 01:25 |
| carmelo | ok tkz, i have a problem with pidgin, it freeze when i try to go to account->menagement | 01:26 |
| Decepticon | savvas the output of lshw -short as root is http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1230254842 | 01:26 |
| Guest69097 | HELLO? | 01:26 |
| Guest69097 | does anyone love music? | 01:26 |
| savvas | Guest69097: HELLO! | 01:26 |
| spottedzebra | how do you defrag an external hdd | 01:26 |
| savvas | Guest69097: #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't have a problem/question :) | 01:27 |
| spottedzebra | what's the command or what do you click on | 01:27 |
| unop_ | spottedzebra, on linux, you generally have no need to defrag | 01:27 |
| savvas | Decepticon: while still in root, do: lshw -C storage | 01:27 |
| Decepticon | savvas: http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1230254943 | 01:27 |
| Decepticon | SATA | 01:28 |
| carmelo | i tried to re-instaal it but doesn't work | 01:28 |
| spottedzebra | unop: even an external hard drive | 01:28 |
| Org-Mode | spottedzebra: not if its ext3 | 01:29 |
| unop_ | spottedzebra, an external harddrive is no different to an internal one as far as the kernel is concerned | 01:29 |
| savvas | Decepticon: ls -l /dev/hd* | ls -l /dev/sd* | 01:30 |
| unop_ | savvas, piping ls to ls ?? | 01:30 |
| Decepticon | hmm?? | 01:30 |
| savvas | oops | 01:30 |
| savvas | Decepticon: ls -l /dev/hd*; ls -l /dev/sd* | 01:30 |
| spottedzebra | Org-Mode: how do you know if its ext3 or not | 01:31 |
| Decepticon | savvas http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1230255151 | 01:31 |
| Org-Mode | good point :) | 01:31 |
| unop_ | ls -l /dev/[sh]d* | 01:31 |
| Decepticon | unop_ http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1230255190 | 01:32 |
| unop_ | Decepticon, i think you should redirect that to savvas - i haven't been following the conversation very much | 01:32 |
| Decepticon | hm ok | 01:32 |
| david_ | is there a package for the regular xchat instead of xchat-gnome? | 01:33 |
| carandraug | david_: yes | 01:33 |
| unop_ | !info xchat | 01:33 |
| ubottu | xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.6-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 315 kB, installed size 840 kB | 01:33 |
| Flannel | david_: There is. It's in universe, but if you're using a recent version of Ubuntu, universe is enabled by default | 01:33 |
| krishmish | can some one help me with configuring for YUGMA | 01:33 |
| david_ | i swear i didnt see it, ill check again thanks | 01:34 |
| spottedzebra | unop: was "ls -l /dev/[sh]d*" for me? | 01:34 |
| carmelo | someone has an idea about my problem? | 01:35 |
| david_ | ok i guess im blind. sorry | 01:35 |
| Flannel | david_: No worries. | 01:35 |
| savvas | Decepticon: probably sata, but I'm not 100% sure, neither am I sure why lshw -C disk doesn't print any information about it! | 01:35 |
| carandraug | spottedzebra: "sudo fdisk -l" at least gives you a hint | 01:35 |
| Decepticon | savvas i suppose | 01:36 |
| jeff_ | how do i update my java? | 01:36 |
| savvas | Decepticon: lshw -v | 01:37 |
| unop_ | spottedzebra, no, that was intended for Decepticon (I think). | 01:37 |
| eternaljoy | how can I install Skype on Ubuntu 8.04 pls? | 01:37 |
| eternaljoy | !skype | 01:37 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 01:37 |
| krishmish | can someone help me with YUGMA??A | 01:37 |
| krishmish | !yugma | 01:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about yugma | 01:37 |
| jeff_ | how do i check for updates for JAVA? | 01:37 |
| jeff_ | !java | 01:38 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 01:38 |
| jolo_ | I have a question about TCL. I installed it using Synaptic, latest possible version, 8.3.5-13. I'm trying to install Eggdrop1.6.7, and when I ./configure, it says that my version of TCL is much too old. How do I correct this? | 01:38 |
| jeff_ | !multiverse repository | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:38 |
| gorkhaan | !openvpn | 01:38 |
| ubottu | OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 01:38 |
| jeff_ | hello? | 01:38 |
| jeff_ | !Jeff | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Jeff | 01:38 |
| jeff_ | !anything | 01:38 |
| ubottu | So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. | 01:38 |
| jeff_ | !nothing | 01:39 |
| ubottu | Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. | 01:39 |
| gorkhaan | jeff: apt-get update && dist-upgrade | 01:39 |
| jeff_ | okay thats for java? | 01:39 |
| savvas | Decepticon: lshw -version | 01:39 |
| gorkhaan | That's for everything | 01:39 |
| spottedzebra | carandraug: i looked at that but i can't distinguish if it is ext3 or not, here is pastebin of the command output http://paste.ubuntu.com/93002/ | 01:39 |
| unop_ | jeff_, sudo aptitude update; apt-show-versions -u | grep -i java | 01:39 |
| gorkhaan | if you have already installed java | 01:39 |
| Decepticon | B.02.12.01 | 01:39 |
| Decepticon | savvas B.02.12.01 | 01:39 |
| savvas | Decepticon: you're using ubuntu hardy server? | 01:40 |
| gorkhaan | if not, then: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras this package contains many many gr8 things :) | 01:40 |
| Diiphantom | is there a command to have ubuntu detect external harddrives? | 01:40 |
| Decepticon | savvas, i dont think so: Linux ks361773.kimsufi.com 2.6.24.5-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32 #3 SMP Wed May 28 09:09:25 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 01:40 |
| Decepticon | savvas its based on ubuntu afaik | 01:40 |
| carandraug | spottedzebra: which partition are you trying to guess is ext3? | 01:40 |
| spottedzebra | carandraug: its not a partition its the external hd | 01:41 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ok, kind of a big problem here, whenever I try to run a program that requires root access, ubuntu shuts down on me, need help ASAP | 01:41 |
| savvas | Decepticon: cat /etc/issue | 01:41 |
| carandraug | spottedzebra: sdb then. It's not ext3 | 01:41 |
| Decepticon | savvas http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1230255770 | 01:41 |
| spottedzebra | Diiphantom: you can check to see it they are mounted with "sudo fdisk -l" | 01:41 |
| jeff_ | jeff@jeff-desktop:~$ apt-show-versions -u | grep -i java | 01:42 |

| carandraug | spottedzebra: sdb1 (the only partition in the external HHD) is fat32 so it seems to me | 01:42 |
| jeff_ | libhsqldb-java/gutsy upgradeable from 1.8.0.8-1ubuntu1 to 1.8.0.8-1ubuntu1.1 | 01:42 |
| jeff_ | how do i upgrade it? | 01:42 |
| spottedzebra | carandraug: ok so can i defrag that or not in ubuntu, if so how? | 01:42 |
| savvas | Decepticon: well.. I don't know, I would try to update the lshw application, but never mind, let's not mess it up. Can't you ask the support department? :) | 01:42 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Ok, kind of a big problem here, whenever I try to run a program that requires root access, ubuntu shuts down on me, need help ASAP | 01:43 |
| carandraug | spottedzebra: I don't know if gparted does that. I never had to do such thing. | 01:43 |
| Garnol | What is the best mp3 player for Linux? | 01:43 |
| Decepticon | savvas im not the end user, im being retailed to | 01:43 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Well, even sudo commands screw up and shut down | 01:43 |
| Decepticon | savvas as such i dont think i have support from them | 01:43 |
| unop_ | jeff_, doesn't look like you have an update for java - from that output there | 01:43 |
| carandraug | !best | Garnol | 01:43 |
| ubottu | Garnol: 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. | 01:43 |
| savvas | Decepticon: i think there is a way to read information about devices( cat /proc/bus/pci/devices ) but I don't know how to read that unfortunately | 01:43 |
| spottedzebra | carandraug: well i can't figure out why my ext hd takes so long/ wont mount in ubuntu or windows so i am going to try to defrag it | 01:44 |
| Decepticon | hm | 01:44 |
| jeff_ | !best | Java | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Java: 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. | 01:44 |
| spottedzebra | carandraug: hoping that will help | 01:44 |
| jeff_ | unop_ | 01:44 |
| Khisanth | jolo_: you can get 8.5 as far back as gutsy | 01:44 |

| Chris_Were | lsusb? | 01:48 |
| LiverpoolFC | tnx jeff_ :-) | 01:48 |
| spottedzebra | GodfatherofEire: nothing wrong with being freaked out, its just not going to help you get help | 01:48 |

| jeff_ | sure sure | 01:49 |
| Garnol | carandraug: Do you know mediamonkey? It should more be like a music library. Mostly like Amarok but not that clumsy xD | 01:49 |
| mib_45uzc2 | can I run a windows virtual machine on a server without a gui? | 01:49 |
| Decepticon | what is a hero cookie | 01:49 |

| Chris_Were | i have a belkin 802.11g 54Mbps, you wouldn't be able to give me any help would you? i been going around in circles today | 01:50 |
| Kitkat | guys, I know its possible to direct the output to a file using the > operator. But how can I direct output to my "clipboard" (ie, copy buffer)... for example, if I do "echo abcd" then abcd has been copied to my bufer (as if I selected the text abcd, right click, and hit "Copy") | 01:50 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | spottedzebra, yeah, i know, I've just never had this problem before, and I just had to get rid of the sashroot account because I found it to be a bit of a security concern | 01:50 |
| gorkhaan | hold on a sec | 01:50 |
| mikec | Chris_Were: did you try ndiswrapper? | 01:51 |
| savvas | Decepticon: or break it in two commands: 1) sudo apt-get install smartctl 2) sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda | 01:51 |
| Garnol | carandraug: i didnt hear anything of both, ill go google it | 01:51 |
| Chris_Were | im trying to avoid using it, as i have had no use before, but i think im going to have to try it | 01:51 |
| mikec | it works fine. | 01:51 |
| krishmish | how can i share my ubuntu desktop with another ubuntu desktop thru the internet? | 01:51 |
| mikec | what chipset is in that belkin adapter anyway? | 01:52 |
| sloopy | mib_45uzc2, yes, IIRC you need the virtual x server tho | 01:52 |
| Chris_Were | its a usb adapter | 01:52 |
| krishmish | how can i share my ubuntu desktop with another ubuntu desktop thru the internet? | 01:52 |
| ortsvorsteher | !vnc | 01:52 |
| 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 | 01:52 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | So does anybody have any idea what could cause that sort of problem | 01:52 |
| mikec | Chris_Were: yeah , well the windows .inf driver for it will probably tell you what chip it is | 01:52 |
| carandraug | Garnol: MPD is the server. Sonate is the client. http://sonata.berlios.de/ | 01:52 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | spottedzebra, do you have any idea what could have caused this problem? | 01:55 |

| Decepticon | savvas that looks informative | 01:55 |
| NW2190 | Does anyone know of any data recovery programs that work on lost linux partitions? | 01:55 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: what's that mean ? i have vista and ubuntu on dual-boot... but i get errors: 16, 17, or 18 when grub tries to load. | 01:55 |
| spottedzebra | GodfatherofEire: no man the problems you have are way over my head, i would call myself an average ubuntu user at best | 01:56 |
| Khisanth | vader: you have something else that is using the packages database, do you have the update manager opened? | 01:56 |
| Mike9022 | How can I install the latest version of Pidgin? | 01:56 |
| savvas | Decepticon: http://www.google.com/search?q=ST3250410AS :) seagate barracuda sata 250gb 7200rpm, anything else? :P | 01:56 |
| spottedzebra | godfatherofEire: sorry man | 01:56 |
| Decepticon | savvas thanks a lot, that looks accurate and the info i was looking for | 01:56 |
| gorkhaan | TestingTheTest: Do u have ATA or SATA HDD? | 01:57 |
| mikec | NW2190: foremost recovers lost files | 01:57 |
| vader | khisanth , no, ive logged out and back in and tried to kill aptitude and even removing the lock in /var/cache/apt/archives | 01:57 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: i'm guessing SATA. why ? | 01:57 |
| foznot | shell? Khisanth, what do you mean? for the keyboard? | 01:57 |
| savvas | Decepticon: no problem :) I found it by accident heh | 01:57 |
| NW2190 | mikec, ya that's all i need to do really. Thanks let me see if I can get that to work. | 01:58 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | spottedzebra; no problem, lookin through the logs to see what happened | 01:58 |
| Khisanth | foznot: bash, csh, tcsh, zsh, ... but you already answered that | 01:58 |
| Tillotso1 | a | 01:58 |
| Khisanth | foznot: I have only had the opposite problem get completion where I didn't want it :) | 01:58 |
| clauwn | Hey guys, i have a problem at editing my software sources, there is no entry for the tool called "software sources" in my menu. can anybody tell me the name of this tool so i can add it to the menu? | 01:58 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: Connect your HDD to SATA0 port. In BIOS turn AHCI mode to IDE, if you have something like this at there | 01:58 |
| carandraug | spottedzebra: have you tried searching ubuntu forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=982418&highlight=fat32+defrag | 01:58 |
| foznot | my up arrow key will not recall the last command either | 01:59 |
| mikec | NW2190: its not "complicated" to me, i use it a lot. but you have to use quite a few steps. | 01:59 |
| vader | foznot , check to see if you have the .bash_history file in your home folder | 02:00 |
| clauwn | can anybody tell me the name of the software sources tool??? | 02:00 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | spottedzebra, think I found the problem | 02:00 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: it's a sata II. | 02:00 |
| donavan | anyone know where dvbscan can be found at ... trying to follow the howtos on www.linuxtv.org but I get to the dvbscan stuff and I am at a loss | 02:00 |
| JumboJellyfish | server irc.p2p-network.net | 02:00 |
| vader | khisanth , any idea on what could be locking it? | 02:00 |
| NW2190 | mikec, ya the main problem for me is that the partition is lost (literally). It just dissapeared. So i can't type things like dd_rescue /dev/sda6 /dev/sda2 because i don't have a distinct partition to scan | 02:00 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: That's far okay. Connect your HDD to SATA0 port. In BIOS turn AHCI mode to IDE, if you have something like this at there | 02:01 |
| Khisanth | hmm nope, could be a stale lock ... | 02:01 |
| cappiz | someone that can explain me some reasons for why only get 100Mbit speed over a 1000Mbit line? | 02:01 |
| mikec | NW2190: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1902/1 | 02:01 |
| mikec | read this | 02:01 |
| mikec | recovers based on inodes | 02:01 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | spottedzebra, bug in the thermal monitoring systray icon, set the temp-alarm to sudo init 0, and I guess its glitching such that any root programs trigger it to go off. | 02:01 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: is the SATA0 a physical place ? | 02:01 |
| mikec | i've used to to recovered deleted files from ext3 | 02:01 |
| vader | khisanth, well its a new installation that i just did this morning, wouldnt hurt much to just reinstall it | 02:02 |
| mikec | and other filesystems | 02:02 |
| mikec | foremost is very nice. | 02:02 |
| gorkhaan | testingthetest: SATA0 is a Port on your motherboard. on new motherboars there are usually more than 4 ports | 02:02 |
| Selcal | Went to suse | 02:02 |
| sloopy | cappiz, usually one end isnt 1000Mbit, or cable cant support 1000Mbit | 02:02 |
| Selcal | had to come back for simplicity | 02:02 |
| Khisanth | vader: you could check with lsof | 02:02 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: how do i know which one SATA0 will be ? | 02:02 |
| Selcal | sigh Ubuntu is much bater | 02:02 |
| vader | khisanth , lsof? | 02:02 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: How did u installed ubuntu? Wubi? or to an EXT3 partition? | 02:03 |
| cappiz | ok, shouldn't cat5 support Gbit? | 02:03 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: used vista to shrink hard drive then used LiveCD to install. | 02:03 |
| cappiz | sloopy, i know my switch AND both computers have gbit | 02:03 |
| vader | khisanth, what would i search for? | 02:03 |
| Chris_W | Can anyone recomend a wireless usb adapter that works on ubuntu 8.10 out of the box with no ndiswrapper messing around? | 02:03 |
| sloopy | cappiz, and the cable? | 02:04 |
| NW2190 | mikec, thanks let me see if that works | 02:04 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: I see, and now u cant boot neither of your Operating System right? | 02:04 |
| Khisanth | vader: lsof /path/to/lock/file | 02:04 |
| cappiz | cat5 | 02:04 |
| mikec | ok, anyone know if ubuntu will function without SCSI emulation? | 02:04 |
| cappiz | sloopy, cat5 | 02:05 |
| Chris_W | right ok ive had it. can anyone recomend a wireless usb adapter that works on ubuntu 8.10 out of the box with no ndiswrapper messing around? | 02:05 |
| TestingTheTest | yeah. but it's weird. i used to use my desktop all the time... but i turned it on a week or so ago to update and get some files and turned it off... now i can't access the boot menu. | 02:05 |
| TestingTheTest | @ gorkhaan * | 02:05 |
| carandraug | Chris_W: my Lynksis WUSB54g v4 works out of the box in 8.10 (but not on 8.04 or before) | 02:05 |
| Khisanth | vader: then look at the FD column and then 'man lsof' scroll down to OUTPUT and see which of the things for FD applies | 02:05 |
| gorkhaan | chris_W: Atheros cards are great as I heared | 02:05 |
| sloopy | cappiz, ahh depending on quality some vendors of cat5 wont work with G-enet cat5+ cat6 | 02:05 |
| sloopy | cappiz, preferably cat6 | 02:06 |
| mikec | Chris_W: can you tell me the chipset on that card? | 02:06 |
| cappiz | sloopy, new cables on saturday then :) | 02:06 |
| Chris_W | how can i do that? | 02:06 |
| cappiz | sloopy, how can i see what kind of connecion my eth0 has? | 02:06 |
| Khisanth | hmm | 02:06 |
| mikec | do you have the windows drivers handy? | 02:06 |
| thebloggu | my firefox in ubuntu 8.10 is having cookie session issues, mainly google | 02:06 |
| sloopy | cappiz, yeah would be the best, and make sure its cat6 if your buying | 02:06 |
| cappiz | if its 1000 or 100 mbit connectivity | 02:06 |
| mikec | you can read in the inf | 02:06 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: so? | 02:06 |
| mikec | usually has some garbage about the chip | 02:06 |
| Chris_W | ok ill check | 02:07 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: ... i used to be able to boot up ubuntu on my desktop just fine.. didn't use it for about a week and now this. | 02:07 |
| mikec | btw, often times the ndiswrapper way will work better. | 02:07 |
| thebloggu | my firefox in ubuntu 8.10 is having cookie session issues, mainly google | 02:07 |
| mikec | case point, the driver "wl" for my bcm4311 is crap | 02:07 |
| Chris_W | ok | 02:07 |
| mikec | but b43 or bcm43xx patched for aircrack-ng works better | 02:08 |
| sloopy | cappiz, sudo ethtool eth0 | 02:08 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: I see. Try to boot with LIVECD, and check if is your datas are Readeable. | 02:08 |
| ruhaan_jslip | is there a way to cap HDD usage for a users home folder in ubuntu? | 02:08 |
| lasivian_ | trying to get samba working, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/93009/ | 02:08 |
| TestingTheTest | where do i check gorkhaan ? | 02:08 |
| mikec | ruhaan_jslip: qoutas | 02:09 |
| lasivian_ | including what i'm doing, my fstab, and what i'm getting as results | 02:09 |
| ruhaan_jslip | mikec: can u explain a bit more? | 02:09 |
| * lasivian_ grovels | 02:09 | |
| mikec | just google for linux disk qoutas | 02:09 |
| mikec | pretty easy to set up | 02:09 |
| cappiz | sloopy, thanks - only a 100mbit here yes | 02:09 |
| Chris_W | id doesn't say in the inf | 02:09 |
| cappiz | il buy cat6 then :) | 02:09 |
| sloopy | yeah card will check line capabilitys and then set max speed depending on cabling | 02:10 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: That's piece of cake, just insert your Ubuntu CD, boot with LiveCD, then you can see every partition in "Computer", they gonna be probably unmounted. but if you double click on them, it will mount. | 02:10 |
| cappiz | sloopy, no - hum | 02:10 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: I mean your partitions | 02:10 |
| Chris_W | is cappiz the ubuntu recomended wireless card? | 02:10 |
| cappiz | my lan has 1000mbit link | 02:10 |
| cappiz | Chris_W ? | 02:11 |
| mikec | Chris_W: what the model of the card and the revision? | 02:11 |
| Chris_W | the model is belkin 802.11g 54Mbps | 02:11 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: when i clicked on my main ubuntu partition it says "(some contents unreadable)" ... but that should be normal, right ? i have root on there too. | 02:12 |
| Kijutsu | Quick question; just updated ubuntu to the latest and greatest, and now gnome hangs after login at a black screen and mouse cursor. i've tried gnome failsafe and it does the same. i also get the startup sound from gnome but nothing else. any ideas? | 02:12 |
| cappiz | sloopy, both computers says they have a 1000mbit connection | 02:12 |
| Khisanth | Chris_W: that is not a model number | 02:12 |
| mikec | Chris_W: the real model. like a series of letters and numbers usually | 02:12 |
| Chris_W | ok let me see | 02:12 |
| mikec | look on the back of it or something | 02:12 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: I dont think so... If I mount my partition what contains my ubuntu, I can Read and Write on it, whithout any errors | 02:13 |
| Chris_W | is this is? 4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318 | 02:13 |
| mikec | hm | 02:13 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: i didn't seperate my / from /home so it's all one. | 02:13 |
| mikec | that looked like a uuid | 02:13 |
| Chris_W | it says its a ClassGUID | 02:13 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: yeah, me too | 02:14 |
| lasivian_ | trying to get samba working but it hates me, details/fstab/results are all here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/93009/ thanks | 02:14 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: but your ubuntu cant boot | 02:14 |
| Chris_W | is have a DeviceID | 02:14 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: if you have Vista Installer DVD you can repair it: Get to recovery mode and type: FIXMBR FIXBOOT | 02:14 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: After this your Grub gonna be erased ( from MBR ) | 02:15 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: Google => "Vista restore MBR" | 02:15 |
| mikec | Chris_W: when you plug it in, what does dmesg show? | 02:16 |
| ksakjas | will ubuntu live cd boot off of sata dvd drives? | 02:16 |
| mike1504 | Is anyone familiar with nautilus? Mine runs at a snails pace in su mode, but is fine in normal user mode | 02:16 |
| ksakjas | ? | 02:16 |
| bastid_raZor | mike1504; gksudo | 02:16 |
| Kijutsu | ksakjas, yep.. just set your BIOS to use the SATA DVD drive as a bootup device | 02:16 |
| gorkhaan | ksakjas: Of course | 02:17 |
| ksakjas | ahhh good business thanks | 02:17 |
| mike1504 | bastid_raZor it doesnot matter I usually use gksudo to get there but it is super slow with sudo too | 02:17 |
| Chris_W | nothing to do with the card | 02:17 |
| TestingTheTest | gorkhaan: when i tried to copy/paste my home folder it told me i don't have the correct permissions to read it... how can i ensure /home will be safe after i do that vista thing ? | 02:17 |
| bastid_raZor | mike1504; sudo is not meaht to be used with gui apps. | 02:18 |
| clauwn | hey, can anyone tell me what is executed when i click on "update manager" in system - administration??? | 02:18 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: U can backup it: ALT+F2 gksu nautilus Then navigate to your /home/ folder and backup it | 02:18 |
| mikec | Chris_W: do you have the box? | 02:18 |
| mikec | model number is on the box | 02:18 |
| mikec | usually | 02:19 |
| Chris_W | dmesg does not show anything about my belkin card. i do have the box | 02:19 |
| Flannel | clauwn: update-manager | 02:19 |
| lasivian_ | why would a samba mount be empty? | 02:19 |
| mikec | with the model number i can find the chipset | 02:19 |
| clauwn | Flannel, what exact command? | 02:19 |
| bastid_raZor | !gksudo | 02:19 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 02:19 |
| mike1504 | bastid_raZor Yes I know, but it is super slow using gksudo too. I like the gui log in of gksudo, but nautilus moves at a snails pace using it | 02:19 |
| gorkhaan | <TestingTheTest>: but be careful, do NOT copy the /home/ directory from LiveCD :D | 02:19 |
| Flannel | clauwn: update-manager, perhaps gksu update-manager, but I believe it handles the privledge escilation itself. | 02:19 |
| Khisanth | Chris_W: it should show up in lspci's output | 02:19 |
| Chris_W | the onl number on the box is 802.22g | 02:20 |
| clauwn | thanks | 02:20 |
| mikec | Chris_W: back of the box. | 02:20 |
| mikec | how about this, can you take a picture of the back of card and the back/sides of the box and let me see it? | 02:21 |
| mikec | OR | 02:21 |
| mikec | use ndiswrapper. | 02:21 |
| mike1504 | bastid_raZor when I use konqueror in super user mode it works fine, plenty of speed, and nautilus has not always been then way, but I don't remember anything I did to slow it down | 02:21 |
| magtom2003 | Evening all. Installed Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit this week both on my laptop and desktop...Loveing it, it will only be a matter a days before I'm the "other" os free.

Lock up as, can type move mouse, even do a ctl alt backspace...nothing, I have to hard reboot using the power button...can anybody offer any suggestions on finding out what's | 02:21 |
| Chris_W | there's nothing on the back. theres a seriel number on the bottom but i dont think thats it F5Dv050uk | 02:21 |
| donavan_ | anyone done anything with TV cards ... I am trying to set up my channels using the 'scan' command but there are no initial files for anywhere in the US... can anyone tell me what I need to do ? | 02:22 |

| * lasivian_ rattles a tin cup while saying "samba help, samba help for the hopeless..", *rattle*, *rattle* | 02:23 | |
| Khisanth | lasivian_: if you are already hopeless then what is the point? :P | 02:24 |
| mikec | Chris_W: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=179211 | 02:24 |

| lasivian_ | Khisanth, uh, i'm a glutton for punishment? | 02:24 |
| spottedzebra | is there a program in ubuntu that creates a ghost drive? | 02:24 |
| Flannel | spottedzebra: What's a ghost drive? | 02:24 |
| magtom2003 | anybody have suggestions for random lockup on 8.10 32 bit desktop? | 02:24 |
| lasivian_ | Khisanth, I hate windows as much as I hate Ubuntu when it doesn't work so it's about even? | 02:24 |
| Chris_W | lsusb -v doesnt produce any results | 02:24 |
| bastid_raZor | mike1504; you're in Kubuntu or Ubuntu when nautilus runs slow? | 02:24 |
| Kijutsu | magtom2003, no errors? | 02:25 |
| spottedzebra | Flannel: its like daemontoolslite in windows | 02:25 |
| Flannel | spottedzebra: What does demontools do? | 02:25 |
| lasivian_ | daemontools mounts a cd image as a drive | 02:25 |
| gorkhaan | that's Virtual Drive not ghost drive | 02:25 |
| mike1504 | bastid_raZor I forgot to mention that when I use GKSUDO the terminal has a contiuous bunch of the following ( Translate the Smiley to a P I Thiink, as I cut an pasted )Usage:program_name [address][:port]Usage:program_name [address][:port] | 02:25 |
| Flannel | !iso | spottedzebra | 02:25 |
| Chris_W | thats the one | 02:25 |
| ubottu | spottedzebra: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 02:25 |
| gorkhaan | try this: AcetoneISO2 Google | 02:26 |
| spottedzebra | Flannel: thanks :) | 02:26 |
| Flannel | gorkhaan: No, linux mounts images with mount, you don't need third party tools | 02:26 |
| gorkhaan | I know, but why should we always use terminal? :))))))) | 02:26 |
| anonymice | I'm having a problem with a cron job that is not executed. crontab -l shows this: 15 * * * * ruby /home/anonymice/myfolder/processusers.rb. I can run that command by hand but the cron job won't. | 02:26 |

| remu | Hey everyone....I need serious help. I was transferring pictures and videos from my MMC Pro Duo flash chip, and before the transfer was complete, I mistakenly did "Shift+Delete" in Nautilus.....I was wondering if all is lost? I have not unmounted the chip yet. Is there ANY way of me retrieving those files? | 02:27 |
| Flannel | gorkhaan: You can mount them in the GUI as well. Again, no need for third party tools. | 02:27 |
| valiza1 | Does anyone know if there is a way to save a bootable ISO (say Knoppix for example) to hard drive and then get GRUB to boot from it? | 02:27 |
| Flannel | remu: Fortunately, flash chips are FAT formatted, so you can use one of the undelete tools to probably recover most/all of them | 02:27 |
| gorkhaan | cu all, good night | 02:27 |
| remu | Flannel, is there one you would recommend? | 02:27 |
| remu | Flannel, And I am very glad to hear that, lol. | 02:28 |
| sloopy | onetinsoldier, ping | 02:28 |
| carandraug | gorkhaan: just right click on the iso and choose Open with archive mounter. It comes in Ubuntu 8.10 by default | 02:28 |
| magtom2003 | anybody have suggestions for random lockup on 8.10 32 bit desktop? | 02:28 |
| Flannel | remu: I haven't used any personally, no. But there should be something in the repository, or people here may know of one. | 02:28 |
| carandraug | spottedzebra: just right click on the iso and choose Open with archive mounter. It comes in Ubuntu 8.10 by default | 02:28 |
| booncer | might b yer ram magtom2003 | 02:29 |
| mikec | i swear i would just use ndiswrapper instead of fretting about crap on irc | 02:29 |
| onetinsoldier | sloopy: hello | 02:29 |
| [e]Lement | magtom2003, 8.10 seems very laggy to me. Especially compared to 7.10 and 8.04. I guess my system is just that outdated. | 02:29 |
| mikec | [e]Lement: turn off crap you don't need | 02:29 |
| remu | Flannel, thanks. | 02:29 |
| magtom2003 | system is only 3 mo old... | 02:29 |
| carandraug | remu: I've used some of those recovery software. It was in a external HHD, not a flash card but I'm guessing it's similar | 02:29 |
| mikec | it runs quick on a p4 2.66Ghz | 02:29 |
| onetinsoldier | sloopy: merry christmas :-) | 02:29 |

| [e]Lement | mikec, been there done that. It seems as I upgraded my distros it progressively got slower. | 02:30 |
| remu | carandraug, yes, I'm sure its similar. How did you go about doing that? | 02:30 |

| AngryElf | the new network connection manager in 8.10 blows -- everytime I reboot it creats a new automatic DHCP connection under wired that gets enabled and doesn't use the static connection that I've previously set up with a specific IP -- why? | 02:32 |
| onetinsoldier | sloopy: perhaps i should register on the forums and make a post on there though | 02:32 |
| carandraug | remu: I tried several back then. foremost, magic rescue and another one that I can't rememeber the name. They were pretty straightforward but all run in the terminal | 02:32 |

| remu | carandraug, thanks, ill look into those | 02:33 |

| crystal | hansel, unop_, gtkpod does not work with the new ipods | 02:44 |
| unop_ | spottedzebra, creates a hash that you can compare against one compiled by another source (i.e. distributor, mirror, etc) to know if the copy you downloaded is the exact same as that on the source. | 02:44 |

| ruhaan_jslip | doesnt work | 02:46 |
| rraj_be | the error is i cant build vmmon | 02:46 |
| remu | nicolas, were you able to get information as to how to get dvds playing? | 02:46 |
| ruhaan_jslip | when i ytpe :W vi just types that into the file | 02:46 |
| rraj_be | http://pastebin.ca/1293766 | 02:46 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, you must be in Command Mode for that to work .. press Esc first to get into that mode | 02:47 |
| nicolas | remu: no, I tried downloading all the codecs but still it wont work, Totem attempts to play a movie but then it says that it cant read source | 02:47 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, and note it is :w not :W | 02:47 |
| ruhaan_jslip | pressing esc doesn nothing | 02:47 |
| remu | nicolas, I take it that this is for a retail dvd? | 02:47 |
| yzfR1 | Hi, can anyone tell me if there is a fix for the FN key problems locking up your ubuntu 8.10? I've tried googling it and all i found were confirmations of the bug and no fixes. | 02:47 |
| sloopy | ruhaan_jslip, :wq saves and quits | 02:47 |
| nicolas | remu: YES | 02:47 |
| nicolas | remu: IS THAT Why it wont work???? | 02:47 |
| ruhaan_jslip | pressing esc does nothing | 02:48 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, pressing Esc switches modes .. type :w after that | 02:48 |
| hansel | :q push INSERT? | 02:48 |
| remu | nicolas, Yes, because retail DVDs are encrypted. And for license purposes, Ubuntu can't be shipped with the ability to play them right off the bat. | 02:48 |
| carandraug | remu: my disk was 80Gb and heavily fragmented. I let it ran for two days and then the light went off. Then I ran Magic rescue and it ran for a week and a half | 02:48 |

| nicolas | remu: OHHH | 02:49 |
| unop_ | hansel, with regards to vi. no, :q is short for :quit | 02:49 |
| remu | carandraug, wow, okay, good to know, because I thought it was going to slow...turns out it isnt, haha | 02:49 |
| nicolas | remu: so is there any software available on synaptic that I should know about?? | 02:49 |
| hansel | unop_: that's what I was telling him to do. :) | 02:49 |
| remu | nicolas, yes and no. It is not available in the standard Canonical repositories. | 02:49 |
| unop_ | hansel, i believe his question was "how to save a file" ... | 02:50 |
| hansel | unop_: well if he claims he's been trying :w it ought to have worked and :q will tell him if he needs to still save or not. | 02:50 |
| nicolas | remu: ok, know of any programs that I could search for? | 02:50 |
| remu | nicolas, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#DVD_Playback_Capability and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and | 02:50 |
| remu | nicolas, I've found that ubuntuguide.org can come in handy, I would bookmark it. Good Luck! | 02:51 |

| jason_ | yes very handy | 02:51 |
| dublpaws | I've got a gripe with apt pkg manager, often times `apt-get install somepackage`, and _nowhere_ is it indicated in the install scroll what the actual cmdline name for invoking somepackage. Is there a flag available to force apt-get emit the command name? | 02:51 |
| nicolas | remu: thank you very much, I'm gonna look this up right now | 02:51 |
| remu | nicolas, No worries. | 02:52 |
| ruhaan_jslip | do i have to press colon and w at the same time? | 02:52 |
| hansel | dublpaws: you can apt-cache search SOME-COMPONENT and it will tell you the full package name... not sure if that's what you mean. | 02:52 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, no, : then q then ENTER/RETURN | 02:52 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, or, : then w then ENTER | 02:52 |
| ruhaan_jslip | when i press enter it takes me to te next line | 02:53 |

| ruhaan_jslip | even though i m in command mode | 02:53 |
| rraj_be | http://pastebin.ca/1293766 | 02:53 |
| remu | nicolas, I personally would reccommend the Medibuntu route, because there are other programs available through that repository, things such as GoogleEarth, Skype, Adobe Reader, etc. | 02:53 |
| remu | http://www.medibuntu.org/ | 02:53 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, you're probably not pressing : properly (as you're trying : and w at the same time) - in which case enter will take you to the next line | 02:54 |
| AngryElf | any idea why every time i reboot ubuntu creates a new connectin under my wired network settings and uses that instead? | 02:54 |
| ruhaan_jslip | unop_: i m pressing properly | 02:54 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, Esc then : then w then Enter | 02:54 |
| ruhaan_jslip | ok when i press esc it goes to cmd mode | 02:55 |
| ruhaan_jslip | i type colon | 02:55 |
| ruhaan_jslip | then when i press q it types q in the file | 02:55 |
| dublpaws | hansel: a package might be named "foo" and the program has path /usr/bin/bar nowhere does the installed say "To run program foo you must type $bar" | 02:55 |
| yzfR1 | I have a quick newb question for anyone willing to answer: What is TTY and what does it mean to switch TTY | 02:55 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, it's not entering :q at the very last line, is it? | 02:56 |
| ruhaan_jslip | no its not entering the colon but its entering the q | 02:56 |
| yzfR1 | what does flipping to a VT mean? | 02:57 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, what happens when you press : - is that entered anywhere at all ? | 02:57 |
| carandraug | yzfR1: type Ctr+Alt+FX where X is a 1-6. Use the 7 to come back. | 02:57 |
| RizR | any screenlet that works with lm-sensors? anyone? | 02:57 |
| ruhaan_jslip | unop if i press esc before teh colon then no | 02:57 |
| ruhaan_jslip | but without esc it does appear | 02:58 |
| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, where does it appear? | 02:58 |
| jjore | The 8.10 livecd wants a username/pw when I boot. what do I give it? | 02:58 |

| ruhaan_jslip | in the text file | 02:58 |
| [e]Lement | yzfR1, different ttys | 02:58 |
| hansel | dublpaws - dpkg -L program it will show you the path to /bin and the prog name | 02:58 |
| dublpaws | awesome! thanks hansel ! | 02:58 |
| yzfR1 | [e]Lement, what's a ttys? sorry i'm new to unbuntu | 02:59 |
| carandraug | yzfR1: to a tty. I've also heard calling them vc (virtual console) | 02:59 |
| yzfR1 | ubuntu* | 02:59 |
| [e]Lement | yzfR1, it's basically a way to output stuff from the OS | 02:59 |
| [e]Lement | TTY stands for Teletypewriter. | 02:59 |

| [e]Lement | Can't mess with me | 03:00 |
| ruhaan_jslip | well i m using vim that i m sure of | 03:00 |

| unop_ | ruhaan_jslip, heh - no idea | 03:03 |
| jennifer | so does my vid card not need any restricted drivers from ati? | 03:03 |
| jennifer | ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY | 03:04 |
| hansel | ruhaan_jslip: man nano | 03:04 |
| jjore | Hi. The LiveCD is asking for a user/pw to start. What do I give it? | 03:04 |
| hansel | ruhaan_jslip: to save in nano I believe its CTRL O | 03:04 |
| [e]Lement | hansel, you would be correct | 03:04 |
| ruhaan_jslip | ok thnx worked | 03:04 |
| jennifer | jjore, the livecd should never ask. if you're installing a system then it's asking for what you want to put in. | 03:04 |
| hansel | ruhaan_jslip: have you ever used the man pages before? | 03:04 |
| Flannel | jjore: It shouldn't need one if it's an official Ubuntu iso. Try ubuntu and blank. Have you checked the CD for defects? (boot menu) | 03:05 |
| ruhaan_jslip | nope | 03:05 |
| ruhaan_jslip | link me | 03:05 |
| jennifer | !ati | 03:05 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:05 |
| hansel | ruhaan_jslip: type man nano in a terminal... | 03:05 |
| * jjore will try checking for defects. It is a 8.10 install CD he just downloaded. | 03:05 | |
| ruhaan_jslip | oh | 03:05 |
| ruhaan_jslip | thnx for the help | 03:05 |
| [e]Lement | Jennifer, technically all video cards need a restricted driver. Maybe you don't have one available for your card. | 03:05 |
| hansel | you can do that w most any command... it will give you the 411 on the inner workings of the tool. | 03:05 |
| jennifer | [e]Lement, what about intel cards? didn't think those were really "restricted" | 03:05 |
| [e]Lement | Hm, I don't know if Intel has open source drivers. | 03:06 |
| unop_ | [e]Lement, that's not true - video cards for which open source drivers exist do not need a restricted driver | 03:06 |
| jennifer | indeed | 03:06 |
| [e]Lement | unop_, yes. I was thinking of that after I said it. Haha | 03:06 |
| blue1 | Ive just installed a LAMP server on ubuntu 8.10 and I want to remotely access localhost through hamachi is this possible? | 03:07 |
| [e]Lement | unop_, rather I forgot about Intel cards entirely. | 03:07 |
| unop_ | [e]Lement, having said that - restricted drivers do not always exist either | 03:07 |
| jennifer | and i know the newer ati cards are amd branded. but this one shouldn't be. | 03:07 |

| [e]Lement | unop_, of course. | 03:07 |
| jennifer | my server has an intel card. picked it specifically for that actually :D | 03:07 |
| dublpaws | Nickman1: ifconfig | 03:07 |
| R1_ | Does anyone know why the xorg.conf file in ubuntu 8.10 is almost empty? | 03:07 |
| dfbb | irc://irc.mozilla.org#maildev | 03:08 |
| hansel | Nickman1: ifconfig will show your LAN address... for your WAN ip go to www.findmyip.com | 03:08 |
| dublpaws | Nickman1: note that you may have firewall issues if using residential broadband. | 03:08 |
| unop_ | R1_, the new xorg is automagic - meaning it configures itself automatically without relying on a configuration file (xorg.conf) | 03:08 |
| carandraug | Nickman1: http://www.whatismyip.com/ | 03:08 |
| Nickman1 | which one do i need to have someone from another pc connect to my pc? | 03:08 |
| Nickman1 | LAN or WAN? | 03:08 |
| hansel | Nickman1 - realize that you will need to setup port forwarding on your router if you are NATd | 03:08 |
| hansel | WAN ip... | 03:08 |
| hansel | and you need to config your router to allow them to connect to your LAN ip behind the router. | 03:09 |
| Nickman1 | ouch, how do i do that? | 03:09 |
| Nickman1 | :S | 03:09 |
| hansel | ie; your WAN ip is 1.2.3.4 and your LAN ip is 192.168.1.100 If they connect to 1.2.3.4 the router won't know what to do w their packets. | 03:09 |
| Zzeiss | R1_: Well, mostly automagic. You can (and may need to) override anything. F'rinstance, Ihave to override the driver and HorizSync on this here laptop. | 03:09 |
| ryuho | what's a good little program to graph network activity in ubuntu | 03:09 |
| Decepticon | how can i make my own voip solution | 03:09 |
| Decepticon | ryuho munin | 03:09 |
| ryuho | that i can put on the panel bars | 03:09 |
| hansel | so you go to 192.168.1.1 (assuming you have 192.168.1.100, in most configurations scenarios) and see if your router allows port forwarding. | 03:10 |
| Decepticon | ryuho do you want to see a demonstration of my grpahs | 03:10 |
| R1_ | unop_, so say I installed the application Touchpad which requires shmconfig to be "true" in xorg.conf but xorg.conf does not contain the synaptic input section anymore. Would the only way to enable shmconfig be making a shmconfig file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ dir? | 03:10 |

| hansel | Nickman1 - http://192.168.1.1 | 03:10 |
| jennifer | how can i tell what video driver ubuntu is actually using? xorg.conf is pretty much useless now. | 03:10 |
| Decepticon | Org-Mode what does ntop do? is it ncurses? does it work cli does it look like htop? | 03:10 |
| thirtyechos | why no tor on irc.ubuntu ? | 03:10 |
| hansel | jennifer - lsmod | 03:10 |
| unop_ | R1_, no, as Zzeiss says - you can put directives in xorg.conf to override automagic settings with your own | 03:10 |
| Org-Mode | ntop is webbased | 03:11 |
| Zzeiss | jennifer: take a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:11 |
| R1_ | Zzeiss and unop_, thank you | 03:11 |
| ryuho | thanks Decepticon and Org-Mode ill google from what you guys gave me | 03:11 |
| unop_ | R1_, so it's a matter of creating the appropriate input device section | 03:11 |
| Org-Mode | yw | 03:11 |
| Nickman1 | you want me to opent hat site? | 03:11 |
| Tenkawa | Anyone else noticed something in 8.10 synaptics where if you try to do a quick search on say mysql it comes up with nothing although you can scroll through the list and find plenty of mysql packages in the main list | 03:11 |
| R1_ | unop_, I supposed a quick google search would provide instructions how to appropriately add input device sections? | 03:12 |
| Tenkawa | am I mising something with spm's search syntax? | 03:12 |
| Org-Mode | Decepticon: the ncurses network stat monitor that i know of is iptraf but its text not graphs | 03:12 |
| thirtyechos | Tenkawa its that the other packages have mysql in the discription | 03:12 |
| blue1 | whats the best way to setup access to localhost remotely? | 03:12 |
| Decepticon | Org-Mode iptraf hurts my eyes. ntop what is ntop like | 03:12 |
| unop_ | R1_, sure, but the authoritative source might be the xorg.conf manpage i.e. man xorg.conf | 03:12 |
| Tenkawa | thirtyechos: yeah but it comes up with none in a quick search at all | 03:12 |
| Org-Mode | ntop is webbased munin kinda sorta | 03:12 |
| jennifer | looks like radeon. i see a lot of lines that start with RADEON, and drm = radeon in lsmod. | 03:12 |
| Tenkawa | although apt-cache search or non-searched list shows matches | 03:13 |
| thirtyechos | why can't i use tor with the freenode servers? | 03:13 |
| Tenkawa | just seems oddd | 03:13 |
| Zzeiss | jennifer: Yep. That would be it. | 03:13 |

| Tenkawa | I'll say this though... 8.10 runs great on a former xp running acer aspire one | 03:14 |
| Tenkawa | after tweaking the ath5k stuff it runs great | 03:14 |
| Zzeiss | jennifer: the easy way is to look up the monitor model via google. | 03:14 |
| jennifer | Zzeiss, it's a laptop. | 03:15 |
| Zzeiss | jennifer: and don't be too sure that X will always get it right. I am using a Macbook Unibody, and unless I set HorizSync, I don't get full resolution. | 03:15 |
| jennifer | looks like 1024x768 is the max tho. | 03:15 |
| jennifer | glxgears is 50fps @ full screen. not bad. | 03:16 |
| Zzeiss | jennifer: what laptop is it? | 03:16 |
| jennifer | ah well i think i'm done. merry xmas all. | 03:16 |

| Tenkawa | mikec: I had enough fun with fbsd on my dual x2.... not even going to try efi based equip | 03:17 |
| ryuho | I want something in the panel in ubuntu that tells my current network usage with a little bar or something, any ideas? | 03:17 |

| Tenkawa | I agree | 03:19 |

| mikec | yeah, i install via vmware, then just boot natively | 03:19 |

| ubottu | donavan_: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 03:26 |

| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, remember when you told me to perform sudo apt-get autoremove, something called xutils-dev was removed, can you tell me what just happened? | 03:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, it seems to be installed.. could you reboot and see if it made any difference | 03:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, it removed old dependencies | 03:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no longer needed and consuming space | 03:59 |

| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, yeah other libraries and such that are required to run | 03:59 |
| Paddy_EIRE | most are shared | 03:59 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, Thank you for everything, i'll reboot and come back and let you know the result | 04:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | sure thing | 04:00 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, one more thing before i go | 04:00 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, should i remove the 2 repositories i added after i reboot and see it's working? | 04:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no | 04:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | leave them there | 04:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | essential for updates | 04:01 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, but aren't the repositories i added just personally modified versions of programs by wgrant? | 04:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yes | 04:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | You use them at your own risk | 04:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ppa's that is | 04:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no big deal mostly | 04:02 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, I am confused?? Isn't it better to have updates from original ubuntu repositories rather than someone's personal custom versions? | 04:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, yeah.. but the one in the official repositories is not the one wgrants ppa offers | 04:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | we cannot support and be liable for everyone | 04:04 |
| kurisutofuaa | Is there a gui for editing mount points? | 04:04 |

| terli | bazhang | 04:04 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, so my understanding is i should keep this repository from wgrant, until the official ubuntu repositories have an official update that fixes gnome-power-manager that covers this problem | 04:04 |
| terli | what makes you think I can't actually diagnose and sucessfully correct issues ? | 04:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, well yeah.. that is if you are monitoring the situation | 04:05 |
| terli | I'm a ubuntu tester since hardy | 04:05 |

| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, I'm back and sad to say it did not fix my problems........... So from here it is best if i remove the 2 repositories I've added and continue searching for another solution? | 04:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, I think that package did not install | 04:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, I believe you may have to remove your existing gnome-power-manager | 04:11 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, would that be in add/remove ? | 04:12 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, or would i have to do it through terminal? | 04:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, go to 'System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager | 04:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | search for gnome power manager | 04:12 |
| R1_ | found | 04:13 |
| R1_ | untick and apply? | 04:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | how many? | 04:13 |
| masroorhussain | I need help for my sound while watching DVD | 04:13 |
| masroorhussain | the sound is very low | 04:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, close synaptic and open a terminal | 04:14 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE i see 1 gnome-power-manager | 04:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, cleaner to just purge it | 04:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, yeah thats okl | 04:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, sudo apt-get purge gnome-power-manager | 04:14 |
| R1_ | ok | 04:15 |
| === tgp20 is now known as turbogp20 | ||
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, I find this method cleaner.. but you can use synaptic if you want | 04:15 |
| R1_ | It is currently being purged by t erminal | 04:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 04:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | cool | 04:16 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE it is complete =D | 04:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, when done reboot and then "sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager" | 04:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I would think | 04:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | so it pulls down the ppa version | 04:17 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, i'll perform that after i reboot, then i'll reboot again and see if it works, then i'llcome back with results | 04:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | cool | 04:17 |
| R1_ | Paddy_EIRE, ty again | 04:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | good luck | 04:17 |

| grendal_prime | ok, i need to use recordmydesktop for a project. I need to reroute sound from my mp3 app and record it along with the desktop( its a presentation thing.) But, im really having a hard time understanding how this works. | 04:18 |
| gaintsura | yar why is firefox taking up almost 800mb of virtual mem and almost 500 of physical?? | 04:19 |
| Delvien | grendal_prime: you wont want to have recordmydesktop record the sound, you will want to add it to the video later | 04:19 |
| terli | gaintsura : what version is it | 04:19 |
| gaintsura | terli: full version of just the 3 bit? | 04:20 |
| terli | um... | 04:20 |
| grendal_prime | Delvien: cool and umm how would i go about that? | 04:20 |
| terli | how about the full version. | 04:20 |
| terli | lets hear it in a pm. | 04:20 |
| gaintsura | 3.0.5 | 04:20 |
| gaintsura | oh | 04:20 |
| gaintsura | fail | 04:20 |
| Delvien | grendal_prime: any video editor, im not an expert but i know you will want to add it later, it will have better sound quality | 04:21 |
| Paddy_EIRE | If R1_ comes back looking for me tell her/him that I will be right back.. I am just off for a smoke :) | 04:23 |

| ubottu | mwhit74: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 04:41 |
| davenull | narzy: df | 04:41 |
| genii | narzy: lshw is "list hardware". If you want hard drive sizes, etc use instead something like: sudo fdisk -l | 04:41 |
| mwhit74 | sfer2: i already tried that but thats not what i was looking for | 04:41 |
| genii | narzy: This will also show you what filesystems | 04:42 |
| terli | mwhit74 is this an external ntfs | 04:42 |
| narzy | thanks | 04:42 |
| mwhit74 | terli: yes the code starts our "sudo mount -o loop"... i can't remember the rest | 04:42 |
| wartalker | i run apt-get, You will have to enable the component called 'universe', why? | 04:42 |

| cn28h | Trying to boot 8.10 I get lots of errors from zlib and squashfs.. the cdrom verification fails but taking the md5 of the cd gives correct results. I read similar things from other users that were fixed by passing ide=nodma or acpi=off, but these didn't do it for me.. any ideas? | 04:43 |
| narzy | how do i format /dev/sda as ext 3? | 04:43 |
| terli | mwhit74, linux has no defragmentation problems. all native partitions to our machine are fragmentation-proof. One recommendation I have is to copy all the files off of the drive then re-copy them onto it. | 04:44 |
| cn28h | narzy, usually you don't directly format a device like that.. perhaps you want to format a partition on it? | 04:44 |
| genii | narzy: sda is the entire drive without partitions. You want like sda1 or sda2 or so on | 04:44 |
| narzy | I want the entire disk to be one partition | 04:44 |
| genii | narzy: You need to make one then | 04:44 |
| cn28h | then use cfdisk to do that and then format /dev/sda1 | 04:44 |
| narzy | I'm going to put /home on it. | 04:44 |
| terli | lannoxxthShaddow, apt-get is not aptitude | 04:45 |

| terli | try sudo aptitude dist-upgrade -f | 04:45 |
| mwhit74 | terli: its not a linux partition. its an external drive, formatted for fat32. i had something on it earlier but i can't find/remember | 04:45 |
| narzy | it says "Fatal error Cannot open disk..." | 04:46 |
| terli | mwhit74, ntfs and fat16/32 fragmentation issues are NOT supported by linux. | 04:46 |
| mwhit74 | terli: not good cause i can't get the hd to mount in windows to defrag it | 04:47 |

| moof_ | no usb drive. | 04:51 |
| moof_ | i was told that i could just delete the windows partition and use it's space for storage | 04:52 |
| bazhang | moof_, you have a usb port though correct? | 04:52 |
| moof_ | correct. | 04:52 |
| revilodraw | terli; ok, so what do i do? | 04:52 |
| bazhang | you can use a usb flash key moof_ | 04:52 |
| terli | revioldraw just search for nautilus-named packages in synaptic | 04:52 |
| moof_ | i don't own one | 04:52 |
| terli | all the scripts will show up | 04:52 |
| billybigrigger | does ubuntu have problems with certain wireless encrpytions? what should i be using wep wpa or wpa2? | 04:52 |
| Org-Mode | flash keys are cheap these days | 04:52 |
| moof_ | i'm not really in the proper geographic location to get one | 04:53 |
| moof_ | if it was an option i would've done that already | 04:53 |
| moof_ | haha | 04:53 |

| gaintsura | joljam: as for the last one, if its like virtualbox, yes, other than that, no | 04:56 |
| streenz | moof_, so maybe run "sudo gparted" in terminal, unmount the windows partition, and then create a new one? | 04:56 |
| streenz | er delete it and create a new one | 04:57 |
| moof_ | which one's the windows partition? | 04:57 |
| terli | moof, | 04:57 |
| terli | running mount will show all paritions mounted | 04:57 |
| terli | including the windows one if it happens to be detected | 04:57 |
| T1 | whats a command to open a port for azureus | 04:58 |
| streenz | moof_, the one that is NTFS or FAT and looks the same size of your windows partition should be it :-P | 04:58 |
| moof_ | let me explain to you what's confusing to me | 04:59 |
| moof_ | in gparted i have 2 partitions | 04:59 |
| moof_ | /dev/sda and /dev/sdb | 05:00 |
| moof_ | both are ntfs filesystems | 05:00 |
| moof_ | sda is 3.76 GiB, sdb is 15.03 GiB | 05:00 |
| moof_ | is it safe to assume that sdb is windows? | 05:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | R1_, You there? | 05:01 |
| genii | moof_: Those are two separate disk drives | 05:01 |
| moof_ | i see. | 05:01 |
| moof_ | well | 05:01 |
| Org-Mode | O.o Paddy_EIRE long smoke break :P but i told him you were afk | 05:01 |
| moof_ | then i can't find the windows partition | 05:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Org-Mode, yeah I had an extended one | 05:01 |
| Org-Mode | lol | 05:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I am off to bed | 05:02 |
| moof_ | that can't be right, there's no way my eeepc has 2 disk drives. | 05:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | later ppl | 05:02 |
| Org-Mode | cya Paddy_EIRE | 05:02 |
| tonyyarusso | Has anyone synced a mobile phone's address book and calendar to Evolution on Ubuntu over bluetooth? I'm trying to figure out what is needed in a phone to do so. Is it just the Bluetooth Object Push Profile for VCard and VCalendar, or something separate? | 05:03 |
| genii | moof_: external usb storage counts also as a disk drive | 05:03 |
| moof_ | i have no external usb storage device | 05:03 |
| moof_ | i have an ethernet cable that goes to my router | 05:03 |
| moof_ | and that's it | 05:03 |
| genii | moof_: Maybe ask them in #eeepc whats up with it. Could be there is some internal disk-on-chip or something | 05:04 |
| moof_ | ok, thanks. | 05:04 |
| Grassputin | moof_: try #ubuntu-eeepc as well | 05:05 |
| justizin | speaking of netbook, anyone know about using sd card slot on acer aspire one? | 05:06 |
| Grassputin | card slots are bad juju man.... they're just evil | 05:06 |
| cryz | hi. anyone can tell me if there is a core install available for ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| blacknred01 | does anybody knows how to install "Evolution Jean-Yves Lefort's Mail Notification plugin"? | 05:07 |
| genii | cryz: ubuntu-minimal | 05:07 |
| cryz | genii: thx | 05:07 |
| streenz | justizin, tbh I have one and ive never used the SD slot lol | 05:07 |
| genii | cryz: np | 05:07 |
| streenz | justizin, theres something about the SD slots here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L | 05:08 |
| Flannel | cryz: Check out the alternate CD, and just do the text-mode install. It'll give you ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal (you really do want -standard, minimal isn't very functional) | 05:08 |
| justizin | yah i'm not on 110L, have seen the normal AspireOne page, just no luck following instructions :/ | 05:08 |
| justizin | 110L I think is the EU model with 3G. | 05:08 |
| justizin | I paid $50-100 more and got no 3G :-P | 05:09 |
| justizin | also paid $50 more on Amazon than fricking radio shack charge for one with slightly smaller HD | 05:09 |
| justizin | i mean of all the places, who'd have known radio shack would have this thing i couldn't find at circuit city or anywhere.. | 05:09 |
| justizin | told all my friends in SF to go grab one at radio shack for 350 120G drive same battery and specs as mine, 1.6G atom, 1.0G RAM, WinXP included (no linux with larger battery) | 05:10 |
| shiMMer | what is best application to edit mp3 file??i need make .wav for my ringtones.. | 05:10 |
| streenz | my 1.5gb ram, 160gb hdd one I got at a computer shop for the equivalent of $280 USD ($350canadian) ... 3 cel battery, Linux | 05:10 |
| moDumass | hey all, im trying to create a boot usb but i cant seem to format my thumbdrive | 05:10 |
| moDumass | any ideas? | 05:11 |
| justizin | shiMMer: not sure about ringtones, look at audacity for audio editing on free desktop | 05:11 |
| matthew_ | I'm trying to install video drivers and have followed several sets up directions, anyone care to help me? | 05:11 |
| justizin | moDumass: what've you tried? | 05:11 |
| cryz | maybe someone can confirm this with me... i installed the latest version 8.10, it comes with a bunch of apps that I won't be using, for example, rhythmbox. now let's say i am removing it with aptitude, apt-get, or synaptic. it removes only the rhythmbox package, but none of it's dependencies. which makes sense because the install of rhythmbox took place during the main install so it's didn't record it as being a manual install with automatic inst | 05:11 |
| terli | rythmbox has no dependencies | 05:12 |
| moDumass | justizin, im trying unetbootin, and i can select the usb drive, but it says 900mb used, but also empty so im guessing its possibly full of corrupted data or is unformatted | 05:12 |
| cryz | terli; actually it does. | 05:12 |
| moDumass | JustiziN i would have thaught there would be a "format" option, but i cant find it | 05:12 |
| streenz | moDumass, I format mine using gparted "sudo gparted" in terminal ... find it in the dropdown list, Unmount, then Format To... and choose a filesystem | 05:13 |
| matthew_ | Anyone care to help me install my video drivers? The install script gives me an error that it can't compile the AGPGART module or the kernel | 05:13 |
| cryz | terli; run aptitude, search for the package, check the infos. it depends on 73 libs | 05:13 |
| moDumass | streenz, thanks | 05:14 |
| justizin | moDumass: you need to create vfat partition and mount it before using unetbootin | 05:14 |
| ziroday | cryz: those dependencies are needed by other gnome apps, not just rhythmbox. | 05:14 |
| ccnix_ | ...... | 05:14 |
| ziroday | ccnix_: do you have a question we can help you with? | 05:14 |
| justizin | also consider installing liveusb, google 'ubuntu liveusb' is possible to get it installed from older archives and works fine on intrepid. | 05:14 |
| justizin | just not in intrepid archives for some sad, sad, unchristmaslike reason. :/ | 05:14 |
| matthew_ | Ok, can anyone tell me another room where I can go to get help with installing video drivers? | 05:15 |
| * justizin frowns at canonical discarding xen and liveusb :/ | 05:15 | |
| moDumass | justizin, yeh im trying to install eeeubuntu | 05:15 |
| ccnix_ | no ,thank you | 05:15 |
| justizin | matthew_: can try #linux, sorry i can't help, not much for linux and video drivers in recent times. :/ | 05:15 |
| shiMMer | can any1 help me with kismet??i cant run it.appear some error.i need to put source in kismet.conf i think.i dun know what source im using..please help | 05:15 |
| === ccnix_ is now known as cn-shn | ||
| moDumass | streens, the usb drive isnt on gparted as an option | 05:16 |
| matthew_ | thanks justizin | 05:16 |
| cryz | ziroday; but for example. totem, it depends on totem-gstreamer & totem-plugins. only totem should depend on those. if i remove totem, it won't remove the dependencies | 05:16 |
| justizin | moDumass: okay, whatever you are trying to do with unetbootin, you need to use gparted or something to create a fat16/fat32 (pref fat32, usually called 'vfat') partition, then mount it, and point unetbootin at it. | 05:16 |
| streenz | moDumass, are you sure? if its showing up elsewhere then it should be showing up in gparted... | 05:16 |
| ziroday | cryz: okay, you can file a bug about it :) | 05:16 |
| justizin | once you've done that, I personally grant you permission to use the nick "lessDumass" ;) | 05:17 |
| jjt009 | does anyone know about ldd? | 05:17 |
| moDumass | streens, yeh its strantge, it mounts onto my desktop, as the same size, i just cant select it, but its not showing in gparted | 05:17 |
| nbeebo | why does this come? http://paste.ubuntu.com/92876/plain/ | 05:17 |
| justizin | ldd? | 05:17 |
| jjt009 | the command ldd? | 05:17 |
| jjt009 | dependencies | 05:18 |
| justizin | nbeebo: can you upgrade that app or any dependant libraries? try apt-get install --reinstall amaya or somesuch | 05:18 |
| Decepticon | what can i do to prevent hostile takeover of my server if i am offering a priviledged account to someone with sudo access | 05:18 |
| nbeebo | justizin hmmmm... ok ill try | 05:18 |
| moDumass | streenz, sorry my bad, didnt look deep enough, i see there are other options now, il be back | 05:18 |
| justizin | Decepticon: you can limit sudo access to particlar commands, and you can use group access to delegate shared service-specific access. | 05:18 |
| icepenguin | Decepticon: if you're concerned about someone with sudo access taking over your server, you probably shouldn't give that person sudo access. | 05:19 |
| Decepticon | how can i limit sudo access | 05:19 |
| justizin | if you grant full sudo, i mean, there's not much can be done. modern ubuntu has no root access, only sudo, so that's the greatest access there can be without haxoring. | 05:19 |
| ziroday | can anyone recommend a GTK photo managing app? | 05:19 |
| justizin | Decepticon: read sudo manpage / website / etc.. | 05:19 |
| justizin | it's a bit much for me to editorialize over irc | 05:19 |
| icepenguin | ziroday: I know picasa is available in a linux version, I'm unsure if its GTK however. | 05:20 |
| justizin | ziroday: gnome has something, gphotosomethign or other | 05:20 |
| justizin | F-Spot! | 05:20 |
| justizin | pops up when i plug my iPhone in | 05:20 |
| icepenguin | iphone... bah. my stupid blackberry still won't work properly in linux. | 05:20 |
| streenz | gThumb 2.10.10 An image viewer and browser for GNOME. | 05:20 |
| justizin | well, i mean, you don't need a driver to charge battery over usb ;d | 05:20 |
| cryz | ziroday; but i don't think it's a bug. im starting to believe that's simply how it works. the dependency removal only takes place on packages that were installed manually, manually meaning an installation requested by the user. if you look in aptitude, all the dependencies are flagged as automatic, so thats why when you remove the package the dependencies are removed as well. but in the case of the packages installed by the ubuntu installation, t | 05:20 |
| ziroday | justizin: gphoto2? | 05:20 |
| justizin | but F-Spot / GNOME seem to recognize the iPhone as a camera and ask for importing.. | 05:21 |
| icepenguin | justizin: with the blackberry you do. so lame :( | 05:21 |
| nbeebo | justizin well im doing fresh install now anyways so bye and thanks | 05:21 |
| justizin | ziroday: maybe, f-spot sounds more famil, but maybe i have crossed nerves | 05:21 |
| justizin | icepenguin: really? no charging w/o driver? | 05:21 |
| terli | it's gtk. | 05:21 |
| ziroday | cryz: I can't really be sure of it myself, filing a bug would be the best place for it | 05:21 |
| justizin | i mean, iphone charges over usb to a dumb AC adapter. we have one up on the bed. | 05:21 |
| ziroday | justizin: f-spot is a mono app and I'm not fond of those | 05:21 |
| justizin | so i plug it into my netbook as well, charges fine, just no itunes love ;d | 05:21 |
| icepenguin | justizin: yep, I get a nice error stating that the connection is 'insufficient for charging' if there's no driver installed, regardless of OS. | 05:21 |
| terli | f-spot is MONO? | 05:21 |
| justizin | ziroday: bigot! :-P | 05:21 |
| cryz | ziroday; thanks anyway :) | 05:22 |
| terli | then why doesn't it work on iwndows | 05:22 |
| ziroday | terli: correct | 05:22 |
| justizin | mono == CLR == ISO | 05:22 |
| matthew_ | justizin, everyone in #linux is talking about crap, any other suggestions? | 05:22 |
| terli | *cries* | 05:22 |
| slavsun | terli> yes | 05:22 |
| justizin | matthew_: i am always happy to talk about non-crap. | 05:22 |
| justizin | what am i suggesting on? | 05:22 |
| justizin | me is on an 8.9" screen forgive that you may scroll past fast | 05:22 |
| terli | everything on linux, gtk and gnome included, should either be written in perl or mono. | 05:22 |
| icepenguin | I got it to charge with Barry, but if I try and mount my SD card, infinite reboot loop on the phone. Its so awesome :D | 05:22 |
| icepenguin | terli: Um ew. I'll stick to ruby, thanks. | 05:22 |
| justizin | terli: perl or mono? heh.. | 05:22 |
| matthew_ | justizin: somewhere to find help on getting my video drivers working | 05:23 |
| icepenguin | or pascal :P | 05:23 |
| terli | and the kernel should be all C converted to assembly | 05:23 |

| moDumass | justizin and streenz i found it in gparted, but when i select unmount it is still "scanning all devices" is this normal? | 05:23 |
| justizin | matthew_: i suck at using things that ubuntu doesn't support by default. sorry. i'm trying to get back to my 14-year old roots as i approach 30, but i've become a mac weenie in recent years. :/ | 05:23 |

| ziroday | icepenguin: what card? | 05:24 |
| terli | my wireless drops once every two hours | 05:24 |

| justizin | icepenguin: i have atheros on my netbook, what driver are you using? an dyah, as ziroday ask, what chip? | 05:24 |
| icepenguin | ziroday: er... 2 seconds, gotta see what my macbook has got specifically | 05:24 |
| terli | perfectly normal behavior | 05:24 |
| yan_ | why i am quit, | 05:24 |
| grendal_prime | ya this is not as easy as it sounds.. | 05:24 |
| matthew_ | justizin: lol, I've had to install 1 driver on MAC and every other driver install I've done has been on Windows, so trust me, I'm more lost than you, I'll try to forums, thanks for trying | 05:24 |

| razaccour | how hard is it? | 05:25 |
| icepenguin | justizin: macbook pro (santa rosa chipset). | 05:25 |
| justizin | have you searched google 'ubuntu' plus motherboard, chipset model ? | 05:25 |
| justizin | ah macbook pro.. i am not sure i have wifi working on my MBP, as i don't use it primary. | 05:26 |
| razaccour | ziroday, how hard is it? | 05:26 |
| icepenguin | yeah, I've done all the standard set up stuff, and it works... then just randomly dumps connection every 10 mins. -ish | 05:26 |

| razaccour | oh ok thanks | 05:26 |
| ziroday | shatly: U3 will not work in linux | 05:26 |
| shatly | last time i removed it by formating a hiden partition, but i can not find it this time | 05:26 |

| icepenguin | justizin: *nod* Wired works perfectly for me, but for instance, if I boot the livecd, wifi dies after about 10 mins.. I tried disabling the bgscan but to no avail. I've also compiled the newest madwifi, etc, tried changing networkmanager for wicd, etc. | 05:27 |
| ziroday | shatly: you can just reformat the drive and it will kill it | 05:27 |
| ley | Is anyone here? | 05:27 |
| ziroday | ley: only around 1400 people | 05:27 |
| ley | ah.ha | 05:27 |
| shatly | no, it is some hidden partiton but sudo fdisk -l only list one | 05:27 |
| moDumass | streenz, changed thumb drives and things are looking good | 05:27 |
| ley | Is xbutu more faster than ubuntu? | 05:27 |
| shatly | eath time it is in a windows computer it is re installed | 05:27 |
| ziroday | shatly: does that partition take all the space? | 05:27 |
| ziroday | ley: yes | 05:28 |
| shatly | ziroday: a bit, just want to keep it from lanching automaticaly on windows computers | 05:28 |
| ziroday | shatly: then if you format that partition it will remove U3 | 05:28 |
| icepenguin | justizin: Just umount it from commandline, it ought to pop out... do you have pommed installed? | 05:28 |
| streenz | moDumass, good good... once the USB thumbdrive is formatted... go under System - Administration - Make a USB Startup Disc...... then point it at your ubuntu .iso | 05:28 |
| ley | I want play some windows games,how can I run them? wine is too slow to run 3D games... | 05:28 |
| ziroday | shatly: however for windows and U3 you will need to ask in ##windows | 05:29 |
| icepenguin | ley: eh? I run Oblivion, World of Warcraft, etc, in Wine. | 05:29 |
| shatly | ziroday: no, i formated it to a linux then to fat 32, and the put back into a windows computer, after 30 seconds it restores itself | 05:29 |
| moDumass | streenz, already ahead of you | 05:29 |
| ziroday | ley: besides wine there is cedega a closed source, propriatery version and that is it | 05:29 |
| moDumass | streenz, thanks though, i think it was a bung thumb, other than that its cruising along nicely | 05:29 |
| ziroday | shatly: you will have to ask in ##windows regarding U3 issues | 05:29 |
| icepenguin | ley: if you go to the appdb on winehq.org it ought to have instructions on how to get games working, provided they are able to be run. (not all games will work) | 05:29 |
| streenz | moDumass, k cool, thats exactly what I did to install ubuntu on my Acer Aspire One netbook and its workin great | 05:29 |
| ley | I run Counter-Striker Source slowly in wine... | 05:30 |
| revilodraw | i have some files in my trash can which wont delete, they have a padlock symbol on them, any ideas? | 05:30 |
| ziroday | ley: did you try looking at the fixes/speed increases specified in the appdb? | 05:30 |
| icepenguin | ley: that may be a 3d driver or system issue then, cause all the source engine stuff tends to work *very* well. What have you got for a video card and such? | 05:30 |
| ziroday | revilodraw: open up nautilus as root and then remove them | 05:30 |
| moDumass | streenz, awesome, they had a sale on eepcs, 300 for a 900 with a gig of ram and 12gig hdd (windows), or 450 for linux with 512 megs and 6gig hdd - so im replacing windows | 05:31 |
| ley | I use "free" driver. My video card is Nvidia geforce 7300 Go | 05:31 |
| revilodraw | ziroday: ok, alt f2, gksudo nautilus, password, then how do i open the trash as root? | 05:31 |
| ziroday | !trash | revilodraw | 05:31 |

| icepenguin | ley: you can install it in the restricted drivers section under the admin menu as I recall. | 05:32 |
| revilodraw | ubottu: thanks (i know you are a bot) | 05:32 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:32 |
| streenz | better than the rest of us who arent bots but still might not be intelligent | 05:32 |
| terli | I'm intelligent, whatcha saying willis, I'm INTELLEGENT! | 05:33 |
| ley | Really? Someone told me the driver in the source is excelent | 05:33 |
| icepenguin | ley: if you want 3D gaming on an nvidia card in linux, you need to use nvidia's driver. | 05:33 |
| ley | thanks | 05:33 |
| icepenguin | np. | 05:33 |
| terli | ley, with a nvidia card and wine, you can have it all :-D | 05:33 |

| Pilot_51 | hi, does anyone know how to force an application to use X11 for video? | 05:34 |
| ley | By the way. | 05:34 |
| ley | My browser usually draw a wrong border. | 05:35 |
| jay2 | 21:32:50 pm | 05:35 |
| ley | My system is Ubuntu 8.04 | 05:35 |
| piojunbabia | hello? | 05:35 |
| jay2 | 25/01/2008 | 05:35 |
| piojunbabia | this is my first time to use ubuntu... | 05:35 |
| terli | ley, I recommend upgrading to 10.04 LTS promptly | 05:35 |
| piojunbabia | i need help | 05:36 |
| ley | Can XChat send a picture? | 05:36 |
| Pilot_51 | i'm especially trying to get skype webcam to work without crashing | 05:36 |
| revilodraw | ziroday' thansk | 05:36 |
| icepenguin | Pilot_51: I'd check to see if the given app you're using supports that video output method, i don't think you can just force a given app to use a specific method (SDL, x11, etc, blah), I do believe it has to be build with support for them. | 05:36 |
| terli | !xchat | 05:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat | 05:36 |
| Pilot_51 | i don't see it available in skype | 05:37 |
| tavo | Hi Merry Christmas :D | 05:37 |
| tavo | ! | 05:37 |
| piojunbabia | hey do you know where to get driver for my sound card? | 05:37 |
| ley | I have requested a CD. | 05:37 |
| piojunbabia | please? | 05:37 |
| icepenguin | Pilot_51: its possible it isnt, but if you're using a webcam, that's not a video output issue (unless its viewing someone elses?) | 05:37 |
| piojunbabia | Merry Christmas to all | 05:37 |
| Pilot_51 | i found out that setting video to X11 in VLC gets rid of corruption such as vertical lines and that incoming webcam video in skype had the same vertical lines | 05:37 |
| tavo | I'd like knowing how could I speed up nautilus? | 05:38 |
| piojunbabia | am i invisible here? | 05:38 |
| icepenguin | Pilot_51: ahh its incoming. Do you have desktop effects turned on by chance? | 05:38 |
| ley | Do you know how to disable nvidia power mizer in fedora? | 05:38 |
| Pilot_51 | nope | 05:38 |
| jay2 | hmmm ubuntu does anyone know the next name for the next version? | 05:38 |
| icepenguin | Pilot_51: hmm. | 05:38 |
| terli | piojunbabia: I heartily recommend running sudo apt-get update universe && clear && echo done | 05:38 |
| icepenguin | ley: I'd ask that in #fedora | 05:38 |
| Pilot_51 | the drivers have very weak support for my video hardware | 05:38 |

| Flannel | !anyone | terryx | 05:48 |
| ubottu | terryx: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:48 |
| nik_federmann | dig that autoanswer system ;) | 05:49 |
| terli | gbear14275 : the script you have shown me appears to simply execute the xfce4-terminal command, and then once it finishes execute the ones below it. | 05:49 |
| terryx | i want to increase the size of file system in ubuntu(wubi)? | 05:49 |
| terli | the problem is probably when the terminal command never finishes. | 05:49 |
| gbear14275 | terli: yes, I organized it line by line for easier understanding... i'm trying to setup a desktop terminal but for some reason when trying to run that script it isn't executing right | 05:50 |
| icepenguin | there is a space between #! /bin/bash | 05:50 |

| Flannel | terryx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545519 | 05:50 |
| gbear14275 | does the name have anything to do with it? I named it desktopterminal.sh | 05:50 |
| terli | gbear14275 | 05:51 |
| terli | try running the exact same code in a terminal | 05:51 |
| terli | see what happens will ya? | 05:51 |
| icepenguin | gbear14275: remove the space between #1! and /bin/bash and see if it runs. also, you may have to chmod +x the desktopterminal.sh | 05:51 |
| gbear14275 | terli: I apologize ahead of time... this is my first script attempt | 05:51 |
| terli | its ok | 05:51 |
| icepenguin | unless of course I am way off here on the space | 05:51 |

| terli | Using Cntrl-c will stop the script, no problems. | 06:02 |
| gbear14275 | terli: When I use Ctrl-C it closes the opened terminal... although I think thats ok | 06:03 |

| ultrav1olet | how come such a popular distro lacks normal and absolutely usual script? | 06:10 |
| gbear14275 | Flannel: alright... I will try to do it there... as an alternative do you know any walkthroughs to put a terminal onto the desktop | 06:10 |

| terli | gbear14275 I strongly recommend introducing your issue in #xfce and #bash(#bash first). | 06:11 |
| klaxian | i have tried several brands of DVDs and different burning options without success | 06:12 |

| linuxguymarshall | hey, anyone know of a way to lock down a hard drive's partitions? not just block them from being edited in the local OS but to prevent them from being changed at all | 06:14 |
| terli | klaxian, so a drive burned the disk, but it cannot mount said disk for reading | 06:14 |
| jim_p | linuxguymarshall, crypto | 06:14 |
| klaxian | terli: yes. i have also tried to mount the same disc in several computers running ubuntu (not just the burning computer) and i get the same problem each time. devices not running ubuntu seem to mount the disc fine | 06:14 |
| terli | klaxian , these are data cd's or dvds? please specify. | 06:15 |
| n8tuser | shoot, not even dbus restart will kill Xorg, its taking up 99.1% now | 06:15 |
| klaxian | terli: data DVDs | 06:15 |
| jim_p | linuxguymarshall, crypto wont prevent changes if the partitions are mounted though | 06:15 |
| linuxguymarshall | jim_p: That will make it impossible to edit it from ANYWHERE? Even like an external flash drive with another OS on it? | 06:15 |
| klaxian | terli: CDs do not have this problem | 06:15 |
| terli | klaxian , please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776480, but also remember that ubuntu needs libdvdcss2 to read movies from dvd | 06:15 |
| jim_p | linuxguymarshall, yea i guess so. that is what crypto does | 06:16 |
| klaxian | terli: i have libdvdcss2 installed, but i will read the thread as you suggest. i am burning data, not movies | 06:16 |
| linuxguymarshall | jim_p:thanks | 06:16 |
| jim_p | linuxguymarshall, keep in mind that the drive can be formatted altogether and lose everything in case of eg being stolen | 06:16 |

| moses | also: i want to be picky about the kernal | 06:18 |
| terli | klaxian, as a firm gnome user, I still say try k3b. | 06:18 |
| moses | is that possible with ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| jim_p | terli, i dont se a .amsn folder in my home | 06:18 |
| linuxguymarshall | jim_p:Yeah. I am attempting to make a "game console" of sorts and wanted to make sure that my friends didnt end up installing WinBlows or OSX-x86 on it for ****s and giggles | 06:18 |
| Flannel | moses: Define picky | 06:18 |
| moses | Flannel: i dont want gnome to rape my resources | 06:18 |
| terli | jim_p: that is because it is hiddden. | 06:18 |
| klaxian | terli: if the dvds work in non-ubuntu devices, how can it be a burning problem? | 06:18 |
| shiMMer | how can i test my html writing??what bess application for me?? | 06:18 |
| Flannel | moses: That has nothing to do with the kernel | 06:18 |
| terli | klaxian : your issue could have to do with something I know nothing about. | 06:18 |
| klaxian | terli: seems to be an issue just with intrepid too | 06:18 |
| jim_p | linuxguymarshall, game console on linux? give me a sec to solve my amsn thing and i will be back | 06:19 |
| moses | Flannel: well what is killing my resources on my current ver of xubuntu? | 06:19 |
| linuxguymarshall | jim_p:ok | 06:19 |
| n8tuser | hmmm...just learn gdm restart does not kill X, | 06:19 |
| jim_p | terli, i know its hidden! even with hidden files and folders visible, its not there | 06:19 |
| terli | klaxian, It is probable that something went really wrong inside ubuntu. please file a bug report on launchpad and include the device name and a copy of mount. | 06:19 |
| Flannel | moses: I have no idea. But the kernel won't have anything to do with gnome, or whatever else, using your resources | 06:19 |
| moses | ok im going to install ubuntu because my friends use it | 06:19 |
| klaxian | will do. i see some similar bugs already filed so perhaps someone has already reported this | 06:19 |
| moses | i hope i can learn by using it | 06:20 |
| moses | im currently tring to install fedora | 06:20 |
| moses | its much to heavy | 06:20 |
| moses | for this laptop | 06:20 |
| terli | btw klaxian, I have intrepid and can burn/read disks fine | 06:20 |
| jim_p | linuxguymarshall, one thing i would lock is the bios and bootability from cds and the like | 06:20 |
| n8tuser | moses as compared to which? | 06:20 |
| moses | xubuntu? | 06:20 |
| klaxian | terli: yah it's interesting. seems like this just started recently, but it affects all my intrepid machines | 06:20 |
| linuxguymarshall | jim_p:Yes, that is obvious | 06:20 |
| moses | is that assumption correct? | 06:20 |
| n8tuser | moses i dont think so | 06:20 |
| jim_p | can some amsn user verify that he/she has a .amsn folder? | 06:20 |
| klaxian | terli: do u have proposed enabled? | 06:20 |
| moses | fedora is lighter? | 06:20 |
| n8tuser | moses no, they are about equal | 06:21 |
| jim_p | moses, no, they are equal | 06:21 |
| moses | well fedora can barley load onto my ram | 06:21 |
| moses | for the livecd | 06:21 |
| moses | its quite annoying | 06:21 |
| jim_p | moses, how much ram are you on? | 06:21 |
| terli | moses, get an alternate install disk. | 06:21 |
| terli | !alt | 06:21 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 06:21 |
| krishmish | can someone simulate yugma webconference with me? | 06:22 |
| n8tuser | jim_p-> yes there is .amsn/ | 06:22 |
| krishmish | !yugma | 06:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about yugma | 06:22 |
| moses | can i get the light for xubuntu? | 06:22 |
| jim_p | the light? | 06:22 |
| === terli is now known as terlmann | ||
| moses | err | 06:23 |
| moses | alternate | 06:23 |
| moses | im sorr | 06:23 |
| moses | y | 06:23 |
| klaxian | terli: it might be a kernel config issue...i'm going to try an older kernel to test | 06:23 |
| FloodBot1 | moses: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:23 |
| moses | lol | 06:23 |
| jim_p | moses, please explain me why do you want the live enviroment to load to ram first? | 06:23 |
| klaxian | terlmann: thanks for your help :) | 06:23 |
| moses | ok well im probably wrong | 06:23 |
| moses | im loading the livecd for fedora | 06:23 |
| Flannel | moses: Yes. http://www.xubuntu.org/get the mirrors will have both the Desktop and the alternate CD | 06:23 |
| moses | its currently running quite slow, also i do not know why | 06:23 |
| jim_p | moses, how much ram is on that pc you are on? | 06:24 |
| moses | i think its 512 | 06:24 |
| moses | but im not sure | 06:24 |
| moses | maybe 128 | 06:24 |
| jim_p | moses, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | 06:25 |
| moses | also i think the cdrom drive is exceptionally slow | 06:25 |
| shiMMer | how can i test my html writing??what bess application for me?? | 06:25 |
| krishmish | shimmer ...try bluefish | 06:26 |
| krishmish | or dreamweaver | 06:26 |
| CaptainMorgan | can someone help me with a boot problem? I got three disks, two of which are in a raid 1 setup, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, that runs Linux, Then I got a fresh Windows installation on /dev/sdc, and my grub selection looks like so: titleMicrosoft Windows XP ProfessionaL, root(hd2,0), savedefault, makeactive, chainloader+1, all on separate lines... I've tried hd1,0 and h2,1 both to no avail... with the current h2,0 at least the | 06:27 |
| CaptainMorgan | option goes to "Starting up..." but then it hangs.... any ideas? | 06:27 |
| Yasumoto | shiMMer: also, just plain gedit and firefox works pretty well | 06:27 |
| jim_p | moses, what did that command return? | 06:27 |
| Yasumoto | shiMMer: save the file onto your desktop and open it with firefox | 06:28 |
| moses | lol | 06:28 |
| moses | im a failure | 06:28 |
| moses | i forgot my login | 06:28 |
| Yasumoto | CaptainMorgan: have you tried "sudo update-grub" ? | 06:28 |
| moses | for xubuntu | 06:28 |
| FloodBot1 | moses: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:28 |
| Flannel | moses: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation | 06:28 |
| Yasumoto | CaptainMorgan: (I think that's the command) | 06:28 |
| Flannel | moses: Is this an installed system? | 06:29 |
| moses | currently that is correct | 06:29 |
| twilight | heeo | 06:30 |
| CaptainMorgan | Yasumoto, now why do I need to update it that way? | 06:30 |
| twilight | hello* | 06:30 |
| R1_ | !tty | 06:30 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 06:30 |
| R1_ | tty! | 06:30 |
| Flannel | moses: Alright, reboot, and at the GRUB menu (right after the POST screen, you may need to hit escape to see it) choose the recovery console. From there, you can cat /etc/passwd, and take a look at the usernames on the system. Type "init 2" to finish the boot process and get back to the login screen | 06:30 |
| CaptainMorgan | Yasumoto, update-grub regenerates menu.lst... I'm not sure that's what I want... | 06:30 |
| CaptainMorgan | is it? | 06:30 |
| R1_ | exit | 06:31 |
| moses | Flannel: there are several options; resume, repair, root, xfix | 06:32 |
| jim_p | how can i find the filesystem of a drive from the terminal? | 06:32 |
| Flannel | moses: Are you booting to the liveCD? | 06:33 |
| usser | jim_p, sudo fdisk -l | 06:33 |
| \Kira | Im trying to install a deb program, and it requires a package that I dont have. If I try to install that package via apt get, it returns a package not found error. Saying that the package points to another package. If i try to install that package, I get a error saying its up-to-date. Any help? | 06:33 |
| tonsofpc1 | using idjc, selecting the mp3 option shows "MP3 streaming is unavailable" - how do I enable it? | 06:33 |
| moses | nope i have a previously older version of ubuntu, should i make a livecd of xubuntu? I really want to make an alternate cd for xubuntu | 06:33 |
| jim_p | usser, i thought of that too :( i was thinking of a more specific solution that will tell me about THAT drive and not all drives on my system | 06:34 |
| Flannel | moses: You're booting ot that CD though? | 06:34 |
| jim_p | usser, like a guided fdisk -l | 06:34 |
| moses | i am not this is a fully installed version of xubuntu | 06:34 |
| jim_p | moses, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | 06:34 |
| Yasumoto | CaptainMorgan: Do you think you've made any changes to the menu.lst file? | 06:34 |
| Flannel | moses: You get those options at the grub menu? | 06:34 |
| jim_p | moses, if you dont know how much memory you have, telling you what to use is pointless | 06:35 |
| puppiesRcute | hello all any one got any info i installed ubuntu over again as my main drive and my older ubuntu install wont come back on any way to recover my old stuff from that partition | 06:35 |
| moses | no what i did was, i went to recovery mode boot for the standard ver of xubuntu | 06:35 |

| Odd-rationale | wasabi__: ^ | 06:35 |
| wasabi__ | really | 06:36 |
| Flannel | puppiesRcute: Did you install it on the same partitions? | 06:36 |
| wasabi__ | i only see rdesktop commandline. how do i launch the gui? | 06:36 |
| \Kira | Im trying to install a deb program, and it requires a package that I dont have. If I try to install that package via apt get, it returns a package not found error.

| puppiesRcute | i got a 190 gig and my other is on a 80 installed hardy heron on my 190 and my other will not come back on | 06:36 |
| jim_p | usser, i have 2 and i know exactly what to look for. how will i instruct my friend from the phone though to look up in his? | 06:36 |
| Flannel | moses: Right. You want to choose the recovery mode kernel at the GRUB menu | 06:36 |
| CaptainMorgan | Yasumoto, of course, as my original question says | 06:36 |
| jim_p | bullgard4, on the mbr of the disk | 06:36 |
| zaher | #linuxac | 06:36 |
| CaptainMorgan | how else can I have it point to the new disk? | 06:36 |
| jim_p | \Kira, what do you try to install? | 06:37 |
| Odd-rationale | wasabi__: try tsclient | 06:37 |
| wasabi__ | okay | 06:37 |
| wasabi__ | will do | 06:37 |
| wasabi__ | thanks | 06:37 |
| usser | jim_p, oh. just get him to install ssh server and look for yourself :) | 06:37 |
| jim_p | wasabi__, grdesktop is the gnome app | 06:37 |
| \Kira | Odd-rationale: im trying to install qjoypad, its a graphical end to joy2key | 06:37 |
| jim_p | usser, let him clean himself up when i cant | 06:37 |
| usser | jim_p, pastebinit also helps | 06:37 |
| \Kira | Odd-rationale: it requires the libqt2c102 package, though | 06:38 |
| \Kira | Odd-rationale: sorry, that was the libqt2c102-mt package | 06:38 |
| Odd-rationale | \Kira: are you trying to talk to me? or jim_p ? | 06:38 |

| BinaryBoy001 | Hey, I'm having a hard time playing back songs that i ripped from CD to computer. When i use songbird to play back a song,,a message comes up stating that there is something wrong with the stream. What can I do? | 06:40 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: I think your answer is wrong. It is not only in the master boot record of the disk. Because it is larger than the master boot record. | 06:40 |
| puppiesRcute | any way to recover any thing from my new install and just browse my other partitions maybe | 06:41 |
| jim_p | bullgard4, not the whole grub fits in the mbr, i know. but the stage one does | 06:41 |
| ramjedi | I need help configuring Sound Juicer to rip in mp3 format. The mp3 format appears in the edit format box but not in the output format drop menu. How do I get it into the drop down menu? | 06:42 |

| wasabi__ | sweet | 06:42 |
| wasabi__ | thanks guys | 06:42 |
| CaptainMorgan | Yasumoto, any ideas? | 06:42 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: But my question was not: "Where is stage 1 physically stored on my hard disk?" My question was: "Where is Grub physically stored on my hard disk?" | 06:42 |

| Elevator_Hazard | In GParted, how do I make a partition "active"? I installed ubuntu, then I tried installing vista on a partition I set up but it doesn't meet criteria, I think this is the answer. | 07:03 |
| onnyx | vpew, just tell them to go to http://whatsmyip.org and paste the result | 07:03 |
| CaptainMorgan | Yasumoto, I had some time to review update-grub... what it does is *only* searches /boot for vm* files, thus it's only useful for linux... I removed my menu.lst, and then ran it, after its creation it just output the original menu.lst, *without* any windows option | 07:04 |
| nilson | jim_p, still does not show up | 07:04 |
| nilson | confusing. | 07:04 |

| jim_p | \Kira, its the very first on the top | 07:05 |
| \Kira | jim_p: were is sources.list? | 07:05 |
| jim_p | \Kira, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:05 |
| \Kira | jim_p: gedit not found, I can just use nano, right? | 07:06 |
| jim_p | \Kira, yea | 07:06 |

| EEEPCFTW | Do you know what command/s to type to get a .RAR Extractor? for EEE PC or Linux? | 07:08 |
| aeporwi | what's the url for the video contest I'am a ubuntu? | 07:09 |
| IchigoMorino | EEEPCFTW: 'sudo apt-get install unrar' | 07:09 |
| Kira | When my eth0 is configured by DHCP, by default the /etc/resolv.conf is modified to use the DNS information supplied by the DHCP server, right? | 07:10 |
| justizin | Kira: roughly speaking, yes. | 07:10 |
| IchigoMorino | EEEPCFTW: If you install that you can unrar things from the command line, and most graphical extractors like the one that comes with Ubuntu will then work with rar to. | 07:11 |
| Kira | justizin: so how do I prevent the /etc/resolv.conf from losing extra dns that I put in? | 07:11 |
| kad41 | hi, newb question, but how do i uninstall something? i dont think it even installed cause i run it from my downloads directory. can i just delete it? | 07:11 |
| EEEPCFTW | Ok thanks :) | 07:11 |
| IchigoMorino | kad41: What is "it"? | 07:12 |
| justizin | Kira: edit /etc/network/interfaces and control dns-nameservers config | 07:12 |
| kad41 | its called twonkymedia server | 07:12 |

| IchigoMorino | How do you add application file type associations in Firefox under Edit > Preferences > Applications? | 07:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | Yasumoto, do you think not having anything in /etc/fstab might have something to do with this?? I figure it might but previously I thought no because the system never gets to that point... but since ubuntu is identifying it as /dev/sdc1 then why not edit fstab? | 07:15 |
| onnyx | shatly, do you connect to the same network wired and wireless? | 07:15 |
| shatly | onnyx: no, the problum is we have one wire for 3 computers, and i have no ieda about vista, so i am trying to do it on my laptop | 07:16 |
| jim_p | any ideas on how to make this work Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:c21a Logitech, Inc. Precision Gamepad | 07:16 |
| shatly | the simple sloution would just get a proper router, but this is only for a week | 07:16 |
| kad41 | are you asking me? | 07:16 |
| CaptainMorgan | actually.. no.. I don't think that will make a difference... | 07:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | at boot, the disks are identified by (hd*,*) when it gets to linux then they're named according to /dev | 07:17 |
| onnyx | shatly, so you're trying to have your notebook run as an access point? | 07:17 |
| shatly | onnyx: yes, because it is not vista, and proaly the only one that is going to stay on and not mobal for the most amount of time | 07:18 |
| onnyx | shatly, my guess is you'll have do disable networkmanager. it likes to interfere with anything but the machine as a client | 07:21 |
| shatly | i did | 07:21 |
| Yasumoto | CaptainMorgan: yeah, that's probably not a good thing | 07:22 |
| onnyx | shatly, if you went after this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing), where did it go wrong? | 07:22 |
| shatly | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless | 07:23 |
| shatly | is what i went with | 07:23 |
| Kira | justizin: why don't I see dns-nameservers in the man page of interfaces? | 07:23 |
| shatly | and getting the outher computers connecting to the wifi | 07:23 |
| shatly | seeing the network | 07:24 |
| n8tuser | shatly-> i came in a bit late, what are you trying to achieve? | 07:25 |
| shatly | right now all i want is to creat a ad-hoc network over wifi, and have wired eathernet still work | 07:25 |
| n8tuser | shatly you have one dsl/router/AP ? and how many clients? | 07:26 |
| shatly | i have a Atheros based wifi card | 07:26 |
| shatly | the problum is 3 laptops and only one wired connection | 07:26 |
| shatly | the outher two are *shivers* vista | 07:26 |
| shatly | so i am trying to get it to work on my EEEpc (701) and shae | 07:27 |
| n8tuser | shatly-> the router is also an access point right? | 07:27 |
| shatly | this is just from the dsl modem | 07:27 |
| onnyx | n8tuser, he's trying to share wired internet over his laptop's wireless as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless | 07:27 |
| moses | how do i install a bootloader using gparted? | 07:27 |
| onnyx | shatly, what happens to your eth0 when the wireless clients are connected? | 07:27 |
| n8tuser | onnyx -> listen to my questions okay? | 07:28 |
| n8tuser | shatly-> the router is also an access point right? | 07:28 |
| shatly | i want dsl modem ----> eth0 ---> wifi0 ------> outher lappy's via ad-hoc netork | 07:28 |
| shatly | i never got cliants to connect all the way to my wifi | 07:28 |
| n8tuser | shatly -> once more, is the dsl modem/router is also an accessp point? | 07:29 |
| shatly | i only have done wired or wifi in the pst | 07:29 |
| shatly | past | 07:29 |
| shatly | never ad-hoc on my end | 07:29 |
| onnyx | n8tuser, i'm listening... | 07:30 |
| n8tuser | shatly are you paying attention to my questions? | 07:31 |
| shatly | also if we do somthing to bring my internet down temparaly, i am going into irc via a server, so i will still be here | 07:31 |
| yaris123456789 | hey guys i think i bought a template from a website, and i found exact same on monstertemplates....i got scammed what to do now ? | 07:31 |

| bazhang | !ot > yaris123456789 | 07:31 |
| ubottu | yaris123456789, please see my private message | 07:31 |
| n8tuser | shatly -> if i understood you, its just a plain straight dsl modem no other router functionalities? | 07:32 |
| n8tuser | !who | shatly | 07:32 |
| ubottu | shatly: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 07:32 |
| shatly | yes | 07:32 |
| shatly | n8tuser: yes | 07:32 |
| n8tuser | shatly -> how many ethernet nic cards do you have in your laptop? | 07:33 |
| imaginent | !tab | 07:33 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:33 |
| shatly | n8tuser: it is a eeepc, so i have one wifi, and one wired port | 07:33 |
| revilodraw | is it possible to send files from laptop to phone (inspiron to n96) over wifi? | 07:34 |
| CaptainMorgan | how can I list disks in hd*,* format? | 07:35 |
| n8tuser | shatly -> no other hubs or stand alone router you may have around? | 07:35 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: take /dev/sdXY and it becomes hd(X-1),(Y-1) | 07:35 |
| shatly | n8tuser about 4,000 miles away | 07:36 |
| shatly | n8tuser: my lan party group has a switching capasity of 800 computers | 07:37 |
| n8tuser | shatly then you have to make that wifi work in adhoc mode to have the other two vista clients connect to it in ad-hoc mode | 07:37 |
| revilodraw | is it possible to send files from laptop to phone (inspiron to n96) over wifi? | 07:37 |
| * shatly realises how much easier it is to network 500 wired ports then to create a simple ad-hoc network | 07:37 | |
| NicEXE | where can I find the configuration file for compiz? | 07:38 |
| n8tuser | shatly -> is that close by you can use, whatever that lan party group you are referring to? | 07:38 |
| shatly | n8tuser: the problum is when i go into adhoc mode is that i can not use eth0 for some reasion | 07:38 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, what is the x-1 mean? cuz I have hd0,0 in grub listed and that matches up with /dev/sda1 yet, when I tried to tell grub to boot hd2,0 it hung with "Starting up...", based on your explanation, h2,0 should match /dev/sdc1 | 07:38 |
| nabsha | anyone doing urdu translations here? | 07:38 |
| shatly | n8tuser: that is the 4k miles away i am refering to | 07:38 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: That's correct. | 07:39 |
| shatly | n8tuser: i am in the central us, my routers are in alaska | 07:39 |
| shiMMer | how can i get fluxbox?? | 07:39 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, any idea why it's hanging then? | 07:39 |
| bazhang | https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ nabsha | 07:39 |
| shatly | (and way worse weather here) | 07:39 |
| n8tuser | shatly and no computer store nearby you to purchase a soho type of router? | 07:39 |
| shatly | n8tuser: i am too cheap | 07:39 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: is your root set up properly? Is the kernel there? etc? | 07:39 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, this is what I'm trying to boot: http://pastebin.com/m9976247 | 07:40 |
| shatly | n8tuser: it is for less then a week, so 50 for a router will not work for me | 07:40 |
| NicEXE | where can I find the configuration file for compiz? | 07:40 |
| n8tuser | shatly then in that case, you have to keep on hacking on that wifi card you have to put it in adhoc mode | 07:40 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: ah. If you change your BIOS to boot to that partition first, does windows boot fine? | 07:40 |
| Natanaiel | does ubuntu use binary packages? | 07:41 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: You can also try making it rootnoverify (hd2,0) instead of root (hd2,0) | 07:41 |
| Flannel | Natanaiel: Yes | 07:41 |
| shiMMer | how can i get fluxbox?? | 07:41 |
| zixelex | I want install ubuntu from fllopy disk ? | 07:41 |
| CaptainMorgan | and it hangs with "Starting up..." my root is two disks, both in raid 1 through the alternative installation... the third disk is a fresh Windows installation that boots fine by itself | 07:41 |
| CaptainMorgan | I supposed I'll try rootnoverify.. but I'm not confident... you going to be around a for a bit? | 07:41 |
| n8tuser | shatly are you even able to put your wifi card in adhoc mode and have at least one vista to connect to it? | 07:41 |
| shatly | n8tuser: i think | 07:42 |
| shiMMer | i use my fluxbox session.i open nautilus,then it automatically return to my gnome.it weird...what can i do?? | 07:42 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: Try changing it to hd1,0. You can edit the lines from GRUB itself by hitting 'e' at the menu entry. Makes it quick to try stuff | 07:42 |
| Natanaiel | but what's the diffrence between binary packages az deb packages & ubuntu use which of them? | 07:42 |
| zixelex | I'm have ibm thinkpad 600 | 07:42 |
| shatly | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 07:42 |
| shatly | n8tuser: ^^^ | 07:42 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, I tried h1,0 and it reported back error 13, bad boot sequence, or similar.. h2,0 is the best result so far | 07:42 |
| shatly | look down near the bootom at Atheros based cards | 07:42 |
| shatly | that is what i have | 07:42 |
| Flannel | Natanaiel: Ubuntu uses deb packages. Which is the debian package format, although Ubuntu debs aren't necessarily binary compatable with debian packages | 07:42 |
| NicEXE | where can I find the configuration file for compiz? | 07:42 |
| n8tuser | shatly -> were you able to have the vista connect to it? | 07:42 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, oh ok.. -e will come in handy, thanks! | 07:43 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: We could try mapping, it may be that windows is having an issue not being on sda1 (which isn't uncommon) | 07:43 |
| shatly | n8tuser: it was able to see it but i have a feeling that they were typing in the wrong pass the one time | 07:43 |
| shatly | but i was trying to get my wired reenabled that one time | 07:43 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: map (hd0) (hd2)\nmap (hd2) (hd0) | 07:43 |
| n8tuser | shatly having two nic cards, they are independent of each other | 07:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, isn't that just an issue of which sata cables are where? logically and physically, the first two disks are wired to the first two sata slots.. with the third sata cable on the third disk matching the third slot.. | 07:44 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: No. Windows throws a hissy fit if it's not primary master | 07:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | so if I put the third disk on the mobo's first sata slot, shouldn't that pick it up as sda 1? | 07:44 |
| shatly | n8tuser: as far as i know my wireless is a diffrent card then my wired | 07:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, with regards to map, is that only local? or can that be done at the grub prompt? | 07:45 |
| n8tuser | shatly right, thats why am surprised when you claimed, you had your adhoc working but it affected your eth0 which didnt seem to make sense | 07:45 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: Edit the windows entry, add those two lines near the top. | 07:45 |
| phnom | NicEXE, Depends on the backend, usually it's gconf so it should be ~/.gconf/apps/compiz | 07:46 |
| CaptainMorgan | ah.. ok | 07:46 |
| Desperado667 | Anyone have experience with Lacie network drives? | 07:46 |
| shatly | n8tuser: i had it once, and then i rebooted, and could not get it again | 07:46 |
| shatly | i think i am going to try again when i get some sleep | 07:46 |
| shatly | that may help | 07:46 |

| evilGUI | are you pretty safe in Ubuntu if you don't use ssh? | 07:50 |
| Odd-rationale | evilGUI: ubuntu doesn have the ssh server installed by default... | 07:51 |
| Odd-rationale | so you are pretty safe from other people ssh'ing in... | 07:51 |
| n8tuser | evilGUI -> safe if you dont use the network | 07:51 |

| shiMMer | coz my fluxbox have problem. | 08:08 |
| shiMMer | when im on fluxbox session,i open nautilus then it automatically return to my gnome session..how to fix this?? | 08:08 |
| Org-Mode | use thunar on fluxbox | 08:08 |
| bazhang | shiMMer, it logs you out then logs into gnome? | 08:08 |
| Org-Mode | not nautilus | 08:08 |
| shiMMer | no..i cant righ click..it went to gnome interface | 08:09 |
| ziroday | bazhang: I think he means it loads his nautilus desktop as launching nautilus without the --no-desktop option has it control the desktop by default | 08:09 |
| aboSamoor | Hi, my indexing is enabled. previously it becomes annoying eats 100% of processor for indexing 10 folders. how can I know which folders so I may figure what is the problem. ? | 08:10 |
| \Kira | how can I stop a service from starting on boot? | 08:10 |
| shiMMer | let me try again | 08:10 |

| skullsoup | im on a 64 bit system trying to install mplayer an win64 codecs. im baffled. can anyone help me out? | 08:11 |
| bazhang | skullsoup, from medibuntu.org | 08:12 |
| \Kira | aboSamoor: if your trying to find what folder is taking so much space, you could download a graphical drive mapper. It shows boxes (by default) of your folders. The boxes are bigger and different colored based on folder size and its contents | 08:12 |
| Lunks | My processor is currently not behaving how I'd like to when it comes to power-saving speeds. How can I tweak it? | 08:13 |
| MHz128 | Does the 64bit version of Ubuntu offer any performance advantages over the 386 version? ie. is it faster? | 08:13 |
| ziroday | MHz128: in some places yes, I can find a comparison for you if you want? | 08:13 |
| MHz128 | ziroday, that would be great! | 08:14 |
| ziroday | MHz128: one sec | 08:14 |
| Lunks | I have that CPU speed applet for Gnome, and already have tried reconfiguring it so it would allow me to switch frequencies, but looks like it's *not* doing it at all. | 08:14 |
| Lunks | Little help? :) | 08:14 |
| skullsoup | i have the medibuntu in my sources for apt but cant get them to work. i installed win64codecs but they wont work on my video | 08:14 |
| NicEXE | anyway is ther any way to delete the "Area Zoom" plug-in for compiz? | 08:16 |
| shiMMer | yeah..it ok with "nautilus --no-desktop".. | 08:16 |
| NicEXE | *there | 08:16 |
| shiMMer | but how can i connect to my wireless in fluxbox??what is command for network manager?? | 08:16 |
| ziroday | MHz128: take a look at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_810_vs_fedora_10&num=1 | 08:17 |
| Org-Mode | shiMMer: you should probably be asking fluxbox questions in #fluxbox | 08:17 |
| MHz128 | ziroday, will do! thanks man! | 08:17 |
| ziroday | shiMMer: you may want to see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 08:17 |
| ziroday | shiMMer: the command for network manager is nm-applet | 08:17 |
| shiMMer | it tell me to ask my dist room :( | 08:17 |
| aboSamoor | \Kira: I want to know the folders being indexed now, recently I generated many large trace files [part of my research] and I don't want them to be indexed | 08:18 |
| \Kira | aboSamoor: Cant help you there, sorry | 08:18 |

| click170 | From a programming perspective, is it possible to mount a remote share (for the sake of argument, NFS) temporarily to, say, scan it for files, without requiring root access? Or requiring some special customization of the sudoers file? | 08:24 |
| MHz128 | How do I determine what version of ntfs-3g the repo's have? | 08:25 |
| narzy | how do I partition a new hard drive I installed? | 08:25 |

| Ahadiel | narzy, sudo apt-get install gparted, System => Admin => Partition Editor | 08:26 |
| shoeunited | MHz128, open a console and type: ntfs-3g --help | 08:26 |
| narzy | can I do it from SSH? | 08:26 |
| narzy | or can I screenshare w/ a mac? | 08:26 |
| shoeunited | MHz128, It should list the version @ the top. | 08:27 |
| ziroday | narzy: you can partition with fdisk however it can be complicated and dangerous | 08:27 |
| MHz128 | shoeunited, awesome | 08:27 |
| ziroday | narzy: you can also do ssh -X to do X forwarding and then use gparted | 08:27 |
| shoeunited | np MHz128 :) | 08:27 |
| shishio | anyone here used virtual box? | 08:28 |
| narzy | I did -X and it just looks like a normal SSH | 08:28 |
| ziroday | narzy: if you run a graphical app it should appear | 08:29 |
| ziroday | shishio: yes, you can also ask in #virtualbox | 08:29 |

| narzy | OMG Linux is awesome! | 08:30 |
| narzy | OMG OMG OMG | 08:30 |
| ziroday | MHz128: you can do sudo apt-get build-dep ntfs-3g and it will install the build dependencies of ntfs-3g and then it shoukd work | 08:30 |
| ziroday | MHz128: also see !compile and !latest | 08:30 |
| MHz128 | ziroday, that is too cool :) | 08:30 |

| skullsoup | if anyone knows how to get mplayer working with win64 codecs on 8.10 please message me. | 08:31 |
| narzy | someone had a tutorial on moving your /home directory | 08:32 |

| shoeunited | MHz128, metacity --replace in your startups | 08:32 |
| MHz128 | shoeunited, wrong user? | 08:32 |
| shoeunited | Possibly. lol | 08:32 |
| ziroday | shoeunited: you're talking to the wrong person :), NicEXE is the one with the problem | 08:33 |
| kalvin23 | why cant i make a link of a folder from a external drive? | 08:33 |
| Mpole | Question: Ever since my last sudo apt-get update I have noticed that there is always a package manager working, indicated by the icon on the top right corner of the screen. But I have NOT started any package manager, so, how do I stop this one working in the background? | 08:33 |
| shoeunited | I'm probably too tired to be useful anymore >.< | 08:33 |
| MHz128 | no worries, auto completion isn't that clever... hehe | 08:33 |
| sloopy | narzy, moving your home dir is a rather simple thing to do | 08:33 |
| ziroday | Mpole: that is just the update manager notification icon, the update manager isn't currently running | 08:33 |
| sloopy | narzy, its a matter of copying all data from old /home to new /home and then putting the new /home in /etc/fstab | 08:34 |
| NicEXE | ziroday: I can't login on GNOME session because there is a plugin that makes my PC crash when compiz is loading. so I must dissable compiz to be able to login using the GNOME session (then I can dissable that specific plugin) | 08:34 |
| bullgard4 | What program can I use to edit the panel menubar? | 08:34 |
| ziroday | NicEXE: erm you can remove compiz and then reinstall it later | 08:35 |
| chilli0 | Flannel Thanks | 08:35 |
| shoeunited | sloopy, I've had issue with that in the past. some files get written with the wrong permissions. | 08:35 |

| aboSamoor | ? | 08:36 |
| sloopy | shoeunited, need to copy them in the right way, not just 'cp /home /new/home' | 08:37 |
| napster | http://paste.ubuntu.com/93094/ help please | 08:37 |
| narzy | the tutorial I was reading was all I had to boot from a live CD cause things couldn't be mounted | 08:37 |
| shoeunited | sloopy, I agree, but I figured narzy may need a little more explanation as I had goofed up before myself. | 08:37 |
| narzy | yes I need all the help I can get shoeunited | 08:38 |
| narzy | and sloopy | 08:38 |
| sloopy | using a liveCD makes it simple but best it to use single user mode and be root when you copy | 08:38 |
| narzy | but I want to live on the wild side and do it over SSH | 08:38 |
| napster | is there anyone who can help? please check it http://paste.ubuntu.com/93094/ | 08:38 |
| Mpole | ziroday: but if i try to, say, install a package, i dont get permission, as the /var/bin/ is locked! something like that! | 08:39 |
| shoeunited | napster, which packages? | 08:39 |
| sloopy | narzy, still doable, i have done it with live login... | 08:39 |
| napster | I've no idea | 08:39 |
| napster | but its showing the error | 08:39 |
| sloopy | but not in ubuntu, in fedora... | 08:39 |
| napster | how i can check that which one is causing problem? | 08:39 |
| shoeunited | Oh, try #fedora | 08:39 |
| shoeunited | napster, wait is it happening in ubuntu or fedora? | 08:40 |
| skullsoup | can anyone help me install w64codecs and mplayer on ubuntu 8.10? | 08:40 |
| napster | Ubuntu | 08:40 |
| narzy | sloopy: probably the same the home folder is rather universal... | 08:40 |
| aboSamoor | can I make hard linking on vfat partition ? | 08:40 |
| napster | my fedora 10 is working great | 08:40 |
| sloopy | but should be about the same, since what we are working on doesnt really rely on anything distro specific | 08:40 |
| shoeunited | napster, open synaptic and use the broken package filter | 08:40 |
| narzy | so I have it on /dev/sdb right now and I want it on /dev/sda | 08:41 |
| narzy | and then everything to work right | 08:41 |
| sloopy | narzy, give a me sec i will look up the exact command | 08:41 |
| napster | ok let me check | 08:41 |
| dickinch15 | just a dumb question is ubuntu unix are linux just curious | 08:41 |
| skullsoup | linux | 08:42 |
| napster | Another synaptic is running | 08:42 |

| shoeunited | napster, need to know what the packages are | 08:43 |

| shoeunited | napster, so you were trying to install an updated version of vlc | 08:45 |
| Kalidarn | mm how do u clearsign with a particular key | 08:45 |
| Kalidarn | gpg --clearsign sample.txt | 08:45 |
| sloopy | narzy, mount the new home and use 'cp -axv /home /dev/newhome' | 08:45 |
| Kalidarn | won't let me specify a particular identity | 08:45 |
| napster | no just updating via update manager | 08:45 |
| Kalidarn | i did look at the man file and tried a few things | 08:45 |
| Kalidarn | but yeah | 08:45 |
| napster | as regular update | 08:45 |
| Kalidarn | im trying to sign the ubuntu code of conduct for the ppa :P i want it to use the right key ;) | 08:46 |

| NicEXE | @Mplole using the configuration files not any GUI tool @shoeumited no I am in mythbuntu session but I could logout if you want | 08:47 |
| napster | no | 08:47 |
| sloopy | narzy, have you partitioned and formatted it? | 08:47 |
| napster | let me check | 08:47 |
| narzy | I gparted it with ext3 | 08:47 |

| narzy | http://pastebin.com/d7c4586a | 08:52 |
| Mpole | i ithink am going to get rid of compiz, it's conflicting with my syskernel, lol | 08:52 |
| sloopy | kholerabbi, it should mount automagically | 08:52 |
| Mpole | which i have already started removing! | 08:53 |
| kholerabbi | sloopy: OOOOhhh magic :) | 08:53 |
| shoeunited | apparle, fat32 is more stable as a sharing directory. Though the reported chance of ntfs uncompressed unencrypted screwing up is low, it's still a risk to lose files. | 08:53 |
| kholerabbi | sloopy: afraid not though. | 08:53 |
| triggerhapp | brb all | 08:53 |
| kholerabbi | I'll restart? | 08:53 |
| sloopy | narzy, how is this machine booted? there should be other devices listed | 08:53 |
| MHz128 | shoeunited, the UpdateManager is now telling me that the older version needs to be installed... how can I ignore this? | 08:54 |
| sloopy | kholerabbi, rebooting with it connected before boot will mount it, but automounter should be mounting it, if it has a valid fs on it | 08:54 |
| \Kira | how can I disable services from starting at boot? | 08:54 |
| \Kira | nessus takes FOREVER | 08:54 |

| sloopy | napster, which ever you are comfortable with | 08:55 |
| musictoto | kholerabbi: sloopy is right. what filesystem is your drive ? | 08:55 |
| nbeebo | seems like my cd drive's burning capability isnt working... ive hear u can boot iso from the harddrive.. how? | 08:55 |
| nbeebo | heard* | 08:55 |
| \Kira | burn iso from harddrive? | 08:55 |
| \Kira | you mean boot off of a iso on the harddrive? | 08:55 |
| sloopy | musictoto, heh all this linux knowledge and i cant get a job in IT ;') | 08:56 |
| napster | I'm comfortable with ubuntu as well, as i like to work in Gnome than KDE | 08:56 |
| apparle | the data writing to USB flash disk is very slow, but it is normal in windows, what is the problem? It takes 20min to copy 500MB, where as in windows it takes 5 min | 08:56 |

| enzotib | \Kira, sudo update-rc.d service-name remove | 08:56 |
| \Kira | enzotib: thanks | 08:56 |
| \Kira | enzotib: is the service just called nessus? | 08:56 |
| napster | well i've used windows 6 year, so just feeling problem in using linux | 08:56 |
| Mpole | Compiz is removed, but it is still running... how do i terminate it? | 08:57 |
| enzotib | \Kira, you can check the filename in /etc/init.d | 08:57 |
| enzotib | Mpole, metacity --replace & | 08:57 |

| sloopy | narzy, why is it booting from your sdb device instaed of sda? | 08:58 |
| napster | how i can improve my knowledge about linux? | 08:58 |
| Mpole | done! thanks! | 08:58 |
| narzy | cause that's the way the SATA is plugged in | 08:58 |
| sloopy | napster, hang here and read alot... | 08:58 |
| nbeebo | how u boot an iso from the hard drive? wanna install 8.10 but got no disc | 08:58 |
| shoeunited | napster, reading is one way. I prefer a hands on approach. there are books, cds, seminars | 08:58 |
| sloopy | narzy, ahh new drive (300GB) is sata and old(40GB) is pata? | 08:59 |
| shoeunited | napster, my way though, can cause a lot of frustration. But the beauty of linux is, that when something breaks, you know it's something that you as the user did. | 08:59 |
| nbeebo | napster join #linux or #gentoo | 08:59 |
| narzy | no | 08:59 |

| kholerabbi | sloopy: musictoto: ah. I forgot to put sudo after the ; for the second line :P......... | 09:08 |
| musictoto | :) | 09:08 |

| musictoto | sloopy: he has unrecognised fs | 09:09 |
| sloopy | musictoto, then probly not | 09:09 |
| kholerabbi | I'd like to just wipe it | 09:09 |

| narzy | no | 09:11 |
| narzy | how should I mount it? | 09:11 |
| kholerabbi | musictoto: nah not at all. although I might partition of a section for that... I was thinking on installing intrepid on it-- | 09:11 |
| musictoto | kholerabbi: yes, then ext3 will do | 09:11 |
| sloopy | narzy, make a mount point sudo mkdir /mnt/temp | 09:11 |
| musictoto | kholerabbi: but not for the win/mac partition | 09:12 |
| musictoto | kholerabbi: that should be ntfs | 09:12 |
| sloopy | narzy, then mount it 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp | 09:12 |
| narzy | done | 09:12 |
| musictoto | kholerabbi: post back if it works | 09:13 |
| sloopy | narzy, 'sudo cp -axv /home /mnt/temp' | 09:13 |
| shoeunited | I guess I have a question. How do I update to an alpha build? Yes I want to get to the unstable version. And then, if possible downgrade to intrepid. I know you may wonder why, and if you ask I'll tell you. | 09:14 |

| Ash-Fox | Can somebody tell me where I can get the ext2 defrag tool is? I can't seem to find it in Ubuntu distros. | 10:13 |
| Slart | Ash-Fox: I think there was one a long time ago but it was killing more file systems than it helped | 10:14 |
| onetinsoldier | Ash-Fox: well, have you tried to google for it? | 10:14 |
| Gnea | Ash-Fox: defrag is a microsoft filesystem-based thing, not a *nix fs based thing. | 10:14 |
| Ash-Fox | onetinsoldier, yes, and posts about how defrag isn't needed wasn't useful. | 10:14 |
| enzotib | narzy, you do a lot of errors typing command ppl say you in this channel, be more precise, you can corrupt your installation this way | 10:15 |
| Ash-Fox | Gnea, there is a defrag tool for ext2 filesystems. | 10:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Ash-Fox: see Slart message about t whyit's probably not included ^^ | 10:15 |
| Slart | Ash-Fox: I haven't seen anything new since that one.. just don't fill your ext3 volumes up and it will be fine | 10:15 |
| Ash-Fox | Gnea, and even the ext filesysetms suffer from fragmentation. | 10:15 |
| narzy | oops | 10:15 |
| narzy | so how do i fix this? | 10:15 |
| Ash-Fox | Slart, I'm looking for the tool, not advice on how to use ext3. | 10:15 |
| narzy | create a new user> | 10:15 |
| narzy | ? | 10:15 |
| Gnea | Ash-Fox: if you know about it, why ask? | 10:16 |
| enzotib | narzy, i think your /home is yet in /home, you can see that if you unmount the partition /home | 10:16 |
| Ash-Fox | Gnea, because unlike other distributions, it isn't available in ubuntu's repositories. | 10:16 |
| narzy | how do I unmount it? | 10:16 |
| enzotib | narzy, sudo umount /home | 10:16 |
| Gnea | Ash-Fox: this is true. | 10:17 |
| enzotib | narzy, and next ls -l /home, make me see | 10:17 |
| Ash-Fox | Gnea, it's even in Slackware - it just baffles me /why/ it's not there. | 10:17 |
| Gnea | Ash-Fox: so what's this defrag program called and where is it normally found? | 10:17 |
| Ash-Fox | It's called 'defrag' or 'defrag2' | 10:17 |

| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 10:20 |

| deutsch1988 | I have scan the dial up modem, whar is the next step? please heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp | 10:20 |
| bazhang | Ash-Fox, defrag has not been updated since 1997 | 10:20 |
| enzotib | narzy, now mount you home partition: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home | 10:20 |
| bazhang | Ash-Fox, it is no longer under development and will more than likely cause damage to your system | 10:20 |
| Ash-Fox | bazhang, great :/ | 10:21 |
| Gnea | Ash-Fox: for one thing, your language is not welcome here. for a second thing, if it's not in the repositories, it's not supported, and thus, offtopic. | 10:21 |

| bazhang | deutsch1988_, there may be a driver for that ; you may need to compile it | 10:41 |

| daleharvey | yeh | 10:43 |
| krishnan | i have a netgear wireless router connecting 2 computers and 1 laptop. I am going to buy a network switch. Which network switch should I buy, and which one goes well with ubuntu and win XP? | 10:43 |

| Slart | daleharvey: use ctrl+c to quit that command after you're done | 10:44 |
| Gnea | krishnan: and switches don't care what the OS is | 10:44 |
| Slart | the day they make a windows only-switch is the day I'll start practising my abacus skills =) | 10:45 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | lol. | 10:45 |
| krishnan | Gnea: can i connect my switch to the wireless router, which is connected to the cable company modem? like modem - wireless router - switch - computers? | 10:45 |
| Gnea | haha | 10:45 |
| Gnea | krishnan: yes. | 10:45 |
| sfer21 | krishnan: sure, why not. | 10:45 |

| Gnea | CoUrPsE|DeAd: no idea, i use thunderbird. | 10:46 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | and it hasnt picked up my gmail spam folders either. | 10:47 |
| sfer21 | switches are os independent, really | 10:47 |
| Slart | CoUrPsE|DeAd: I've never used evolution myself but there might be a setting somewhere to only fetch mail of a certain size or age.. that's just a guess though | 10:47 |
| Gnea | CoUrPsE|DeAd: i've used thunderbird with gmail, it works just fine | 10:47 |

| fadzL | sudo auto remvove? | 10:56 |
| Slart | abhii: sudo apt-get purge.... mutt perhaps? | 10:56 |
| eth01 | should remove --purge really | 10:56 |
| Slart | wow.. 4 different solutions.. =) | 10:56 |
| Flannel | eth01: apt-get purge works, but only in more recent Ubuntus | 10:56 |
| onetinsoldier | and none of the mthe one that i would have used.. lol | 10:56 |
| Slart | hehe | 10:57 |

| Slart | onetinsoldier: just to be special =) | 10:58 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 10:58 |
| joaopinto | krishnan, unless you have a specific doubt, you would be better reading a tutorial on how to setup a mail server | 10:58 |
| bimberi | onetinsoldier: there's still ~/.muttrc ;) | 10:58 |
| onetinsoldier | bimberi: ahh, yes. forgot that. thanks :-) | 10:58 |
| Slart | hmm.. would I have to boot into windows to defrag an external ntfs drive?.. or can I do it from a virtualbox vm? | 10:59 |
| fadzL | what is mutt | 10:59 |
| hischild | Slart, ntfsprogs doesn't have a defrag tool? | 11:00 |
| Flannel | fadzL: Its a curses based mail client | 11:00 |
| ardchoille | fadzL: apt-cache show mutt | 11:00 |
| Slart | fadzL: command line mail client | 11:00 |
| Slart | hischild: I don't think so.. I haven't actually checked though | 11:00 |
| fadzL | owh..tq..i m newbie | 11:01 |
| * bimberi wonders what newbies make of "curses based" ;) | 11:02 | |
| quibbler | "curses based" like windows??? | 11:03 |
| onetinsoldier | what do i need to do in Firestarter to allow /DCC file receives? i get a 'Connect', but it's blocked beyond that unless i stop the firewall | 11:04 |
| mossmon | Hey, I'd like to install drivers for my ati radeon 9600, but the open source drivers didn't work properly, so I tried getting the newest catalyst drivers, which are in a .run -file. When I try to open it, it opens it in dosbox, which doesn't seem right. any tips? | 11:04 |
| hischild | Slart, apparently there's no real defrag tool. If you can get it to see the real drive in vbox that'd work, otherwise you'll need windows. | 11:04 |
| onetinsoldier | great curses based prog is 'iptraf'! | 11:04 |
| hischild | onetinsoldier, check the logs, it should be in there. Rightclick and then allow it. | 11:05 |
| onetinsoldier | hischild: ok, thanks, i'll have a look | 11:05 |
| Slart | hischild: mm.. seems it's hard to make a vm see an usb connected drive..I guess I'll have to boot windows then.. or steal the gf's laptop... | 11:05 |
| bimberi | krishnan: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/email-services.html | 11:05 |
| Slart | hischild: thanks | 11:06 |
| hischild | Slart, both would work. If you have VMware working somehow, you can still use that. | 11:06 |
| Slart | hischild: just plain virtualbox | 11:06 |
| rinsmaster | Slart, I have VirtualBox running here with usb support | 11:06 |
| rinsmaster | requires some hacks but it works then | 11:06 |
| krishnan | bimberi: will tht be sufficient for setting up a full fledged email server? | 11:06 |
| Slart | rinsmaster: oh? any serious operations to enable that? | 11:06 |
| pixelated | 'ello all | 11:06 |
| rinsmaster | Slart, Just google like: "Virtualbox ubuntu usb support" ;) | 11:07 |
| rinsmaster | Slart, also, i have the non-opensource version, but as far as i know the same hack works for the oss version | 11:07 |
| roca | is there a prog that handles web servers? | 11:08 |
| Slart | rinsmaster: thanks.. I'm googling | 11:08 |
| mossmon | my ubuntu-supported drivers for ati radeon 9600 don't work properly, is it possible to install the closed source catalyst drivers? | 11:08 |
| mossmon | I can't find anything by googling.. | 11:08 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How do i make thunderbird download all my gmail foldersw? | 11:08 |
| roca | is there a prog that handles web servers ssh or things of that nature? | 11:09 |
| bimberi | krishnan: the packaged referred to (postfix, exim, dovecot, ...) are used in very large installations. So _yes_ I suppose. | 11:09 |
| onetinsoldier | mossmon: howdy. ther's a guide to installing the glrx driver. how-to build.deb packages. i will help with it if you need it. bottom half of the page --> (change libstdc++5 to libstdc++6) | 11:09 |

Where can I configure so that I only get one instance of GThumb when I start my camera? | 11:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 11:17 |
| Gnea | terryx: now, I've given you the URL for wubi, there are some troubleshooting and system requirements there. | 11:17 |

| scientes | if you ship your system with a compression format you should install the tool to open those archives | 11:18 |
| scientes | how can i decompress quashfs | 11:18 |
| Walex3 | silv3r_m00n: do a web searching for configuring your PC for forwarding/routing. | 11:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | Walex3: let me check | 11:19 |
| Walex3 | scientes: if it is "squashfs" that's not an archives format, it is a compresses filesystem. To create it there is a command line utility to read it you need to mount it and have the relevsnt kernel module installed before you do that. | 11:20 |
| onetinsoldier | silv3r_m00n: the 'firestarter' package might be able to help with that. | 11:20 |
| scientes | compressed filesystems are archives | 11:20 |
| terryx_ | what type of power does ubuntu wubi needs? | 11:20 |
| silv3r_m00n | onetinsoldier: let me check that | 11:20 |

| Slart | !webmin | 11:22 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 11:22 |

| Slart | roca: "sudo apt-get install ebox" will do it for you | 11:27 |
| Walex3 | gmathews: if you are a n00b there is some GUI stuff to do that for you, but I can't remember the name... | 11:27 |
| Gnea | terryx_: okay, if you restart the system and go into the BIOS settings, there should be a setting in there, somewhere, for turning HPET on/off | 11:27 |
| co0lingFir3 | hello, does checkinstall not work for libraries? | 11:27 |
| terryx_ | ok | 11:27 |

| gmathews | Does anyobody know the GUI app to mount partitions automatically in fstab? | 11:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: what is the compcache_size_setup thisng you're tying to add to the kernel? i'm just curious as to what it's for/about? | 11:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | onetinsoldier: hischild: thanks that worked using firestarter | 11:29 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: it sounds like you have a bad video driver | 11:29 |

| worldcitizen09 | Gnea I downloaded the Linux mint and the same problem came up. they boot fine in safe graphics mode but then i cannot change resolution later | 11:30 |
| silv3r_m00n | onetinsoldier: one more thing... looks like firestarter must run for this to work...so how can i start firestarter everytime ubuntu starts ? | 11:30 |
| roca | Slart, its giving me this error The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 11:31 |
| roca | ebox: Depends: libapache-authcookie-perl but it is not installable | 11:31 |

| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, i just marked/unmarked things, that's all | 11:31 |
| Slart | roca: hmm.. same thing here.. guess someone made a mistake somewhere | 11:31 |
| terryx_ | gnea, u there, what i do now? | 11:31 |
| Gnea | terryx_: did you get to the BIOS? | 11:32 |
| worldcitizen09 | Gnea, the display driver in windows is VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP. It works fine in Linux with ubuntu 8.04 or linux mint 5 but not with 8.10 etc | 11:32 |
| onetinsoldier | silv3r_m00n: now that you've installed it, i believe it runs everytime you start Ubuntu. however, i do get a 'failed' message about the firestart service starting wheni boot, but i am pretty certain it's running as soon at i enter x-windows(perhpas even sooner) | 11:32 |
| Walex3 | gmathews: it may well be nice. BTW just fopund the page on editing '/etc/fstab' manually: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 11:32 |
| terryx_ | no what i do, turn off or on | 11:32 |
| worldcitizen09 | Can you please think of somehting? | 11:33 |
| gmathews | Thank you Walex3 :) | 11:33 |
| co0lingFir3 | does anyone know where to get a deb for libusb1.0? | 11:33 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: i see. you can try changing the display driver from S3 to VESA when it boots to safe graphics mode | 11:33 |
| Walex3 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions | 11:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | onetinsoldier: hmm...i configured in firestarter and internet connection sharing works fine... now i quit firestarter and it still works fine... so firestarter is not needed again ? | 11:33 |
| nibbler | co0lingFir3: apt-file search libusb | 11:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: roger that. i'm not sure.. i'll poke around a little though | 11:33 |
| Gnea | terryx_: do you know how to restart your computer? | 11:34 |
| Walex3 | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Mounting_NTFS_Partitions_.28with_read.2Fwrite_privileges.29 | 11:34 |
| terryx_ | ok i go then come..wait | 11:34 |
| worldcitizen09 | Gnea can u give me a bit of guidance on that | 11:34 |
| Gnea | as if I have a choice? well, I suppose I could go to bed... :P | 11:34 |
| onetinsoldier | silv3r_m00n: you probably shut the firewall down, but that probably does not disable the iptables port-forwarding | 11:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | onetinsoldier: yeah the iptables once configured are there always and so it shud work from now on always...i think | 11:35 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: when ubuntu starts, does it give you the option of booting into single-user mode? | 11:35 |
| onetinsoldier | silv3r_m00n: yep, i think so too | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | silv3r_m00n, l was thinking firestarter was just a gui/front end.. it sets up the firewal and thats it. :) | 11:35 |
| worldcitizen09 | Gnea perhaps so, I can check later when i boot in there. I know i have to fill in user name and password | 11:36 |
| gmathews | Walex3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions has a script to handle it - Awesome gonnna try it now. | 11:36 |
| silv3r_m00n | dr_willis: yeah ... but firestarter got some good things too like the stats and active connections | 11:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | i was looking for something like this for the past few days | 11:37 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: sounds good. you may also want to read and bookmark this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342115 | 11:37 |
| co0lingFir3 | nibbler: does this search in the repos? | 11:37 |
| hischild | silv3r_m00n, if you want the situation before you activated firestarter, you have to click stop on firestarter. | 11:37 |
| nibbler | co0lingFir3: yes | 11:38 |
| silv3r_m00n | hischild: thats a really useful piece of information... thanks | 11:38 |
| onetinsoldier | silv3r_m00n: ok,what hischild said. i misread your message, sorry. just quiting out of firestarter does not shut it down | 11:39 |
| terryx | gnea: i am back and there is no hyperthreading option in my bios...now what? | 11:39 |
| krishnan | which print server goes well with ubuntu hardy and win XP? | 11:40 |

| terryx | ok...i wait.. | 11:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: hello, at first glance form reading this web page from a google search, it looks like you might have done something that caused a known bug to pop-up on you.... --> http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/CompilingAndUsing | 11:43 |
| Gnea | terryx: now, you need to install the pastebinit package, like this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 11:43 |
| terryx | done.. | 11:43 |
| Gnea | terryx: now, issue this command and paste the resulting URL here... this will help us determine where the problem is: dmesg | pastebinit | 11:44 |
| worldcitizen09 | Gnea I looked at the page. Thanks a lot. My mother board is Gigabyte K8M800 which is mentioned there. however I dont understand the change of settings. Can u please help with xorg etc | 11:45 |
| terryx | so i type dmesg | pastebinit in terminal? | 11:45 |
| CaneToad | anyone seen lousy "G_IO_ERROR_FAILED_HANDLED in the UI" issues in various apps? | 11:45 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: once you are able to boot the system into single-user mode, you will be able to change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf then | 11:45 |
| Gnea | terryx: correct. | 11:46 |
| gizmo | sudo chmod 666 /usr/sbin/sshd<---whats this for? | 11:46 |

| gizmo | thats why im asking here.. | 11:47 |
| gizmo | so? | 11:47 |
| gizmo | can i change it | 11:48 |

| terryx | http://pastebin.com/f75333ebd | 11:48 |
| gizmo | Gnea, if ssh not work anymore why? | 11:48 |
| worldcitizen09 | Gnea is there a motherboard for amd platform that will install ubuntu as a breeze or should i switch over to intel | 11:48 |
| onetinsoldier | gizmo: do you know what 'executable' means? | 11:49 |
| co0lingFir3 | nibbler: unfortunately libusb1.0 ist not in the repos... | 11:49 |

| gizmo | onetinsoldier, no what is it? | 11:49 |
| worldcitizen09 | Gnea I am thinking of upgrading to amd 5000+ or intel dual core | 11:49 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: I really am not sure what is a good motherboard that's new these days | 11:49 |
| dr_willis | Time for Linux Basic Training. :) | 11:50 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: you should stick with AMD | 11:50 |
| Gnea | terryx: good | 11:50 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, thanks, but i still don't see what i have to do | 11:50 |
| worldcitizen09 | Great, Gnea. That is a good suggestion after my heart. But could u recommend a motherboard too like asus etc | 11:50 |
| onetinsoldier | gizmo: it determines whether or not a compiled binary program can be run(executed) | 11:51 |
| Gnea | worldcitizen09: Tyan and Asus are preferable. | 11:51 |

| nibbler | co0lingFir3: might do it..m aybe | 11:52 |
| Gnea | terryx: and add this to your kernel boot line: pci=routeirq | 11:52 |
| worldcitizen09 | gnea thanks will try to do something, otherwise will need help again. | 11:52 |

| worldcitizen09 | bye and thanks | 11:52 |
| Gnea | good luck | 11:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: yeah, i hear you. i don't know either. it's a bug, i guess that Ubuntu has patch the 2.6.27 kernel in Intrepid with that out-of-tree compcache module. you have enabled or diabled some kernel option that has caused this bug to appear for you. what to do? i don't know | 11:53 |
| onetinsoldier | patched* | 11:53 |
| gizmo | Gnea, so how?am i being hack or what? | 11:53 |

| Gnea | terryx: use the first one | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | miro, i have no issues with ntfs or fat. - it is worth the time to read up on how linux acceses both. | 11:55 |
| Slart | miro: you can't install ubuntu on a ntfs or fat32 fs.. but it can read/write files from them | 11:55 |
| benjick_ | Hey | 11:55 |

| roca | which is better nubuntu or backtrack for over all use? | 11:56 |
| terryx | so i do: kernelpci=routeirq | 11:56 |
| Gnea | terryx: make it this: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro pci=routeirq | 11:56 |
| Gnea | terryx: so you're appending 'pci=routeirq' to the end of the kernel line | 11:57 |
| miro | Gnea: to install it on this kind of file sistem. i want ot have dual OS laptop and Windows to be able to readand the linux partition | 11:57 |

| Gnea | gizmo: did you use sudo before? | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | gizmo, linux basics.. to alter 'system type' stuff - you must use sudo | 11:58 |
| gizmo | Gnea, yeah | 11:58 |
| Gnea | gizmo: then use it again | 11:58 |
| miro | gnea: yea dualboot i know that for linux its best to be on ext3 but this cant be readed from windows | 11:58 |

| dr_willis | miro, with the right tools windows can read/write ext2/3 | 11:59 |
| Slart | miro: yes it can.. there are drivers for reading ext2/3 in windows | 11:59 |
| Gnea | terryx: it's for re-routing how the hardware interrupts work with the linux kernel | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | miro, but they can cause issues if used wrngly | 11:59 |
| Guest29258 | Merry boxing day :D anyone care to help me get my Christmas present working? The "instructions for Linux" don't make sense | 11:59 |

| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, one of the reasonss yes | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | heh. Now eeryone is checking. :) | 12:04 |
| terryx | Gnea: is it good if i full upgrade/update ubuntu? | 12:04 |
| Gnea | lol | 12:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: are you using open-source video driver? | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | gizmo, do ls -l /usr/sbin/sshd and check the #s to what others have | 12:04 |
| Gnea | terryx: did you reboot yet? | 12:04 |
| terryx | yes | 12:04 |
| terryx | i am back | 12:05 |
| miro | dr_willis: so if im understand right i will install ubuntu on ext3 partiton wich basicaly cannot be used from windows but with ubuntu i could read/write on the windows partition | 12:05 |
| Gnea | terryx: i would wait for the update.... see how it goes over the next 10 minutes | 12:05 |
| Gnea | make sure it's not going to crash | 12:05 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, one other is i have a earphone not muting speakers and i am hoping to solve that | 12:05 |
| Slart | miro: read this carefull... You can read ext3 from windows | 12:05 |
| Gnea | terryx: there's nothing worse than having the system halt in the middle of software installation - you could end up with a corrupt database | 12:05 |
| miro | with special tools | 12:05 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, how do i find that out? | 12:05 |
| dr_willis | miro, as i said earlier - with the PROPER TOOLS installed on windows.. You CAN read/write ext2/3 from windows | 12:05 |
| gizmo | wait dr_willis | 12:05 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: grep divers /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:06 |
| terryx | i wait 20min. then use sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade...is that fine? | 12:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:06 |
| Slart | miro: as special as adobe acrobat or anything else in windows | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 418340 2008-10-13 14:50 /usr/sbin/sshd | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | gizmo, ok. the #'s match. :) false alarm.. perhaps.. I would still be leary of HOW the permissions got changed | 12:06 |

| Gnea | terryx: just use your computer normally | 12:07 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so | 12:07 |
| terryx | ok | 12:07 |
| Gnea | terryx: worry about updating when you're sure it's not freezing anymore | 12:08 |
| terryx | ok | 12:08 |
| terryx | i am waiting 20min. | 12:08 |
| Gnea | otherwise you will mess your system up more | 12:08 |
| miro | dr_willis: ok last question when i have to show where is the root or main directory i just have to type / right? | 12:08 |
| dr_willis | miro, linux 'fundamentals ' the 'root' of the system filesystem is / ROOT has his own home at /root a users 'main' home directoru is /home/username/ | 12:08 |
| dr_willis | miro, root is used as a word to mean a lot of different things in linux. :) | 12:09 |
| miro | ok i think i get it | 12:09 |
| miro | i will try to install it | 12:09 |
| miro | last question | 12:10 |
| miro | really | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | miro, if you are all scared.. you could install virtualbox under windows and practice with that. No risk to anything | 12:10 |
| miro | 32bit or 64bit for intel core duo procesor on laptop | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | miro, it would depend on your ram and needs | 12:10 |
| terryx_ | Gnea: got freeze again..:( | 12:11 |
| miro | 2Gb ram | 12:11 |
| miro | common needs | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | miro, when in doubt stick with 32bit | 12:11 |
| piksi | i don't see any reason nowadays NOT to install 64bit if the system supports it | 12:11 |
| miro | mostly surfing | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | piksi, a few apps dont like it.. is about all ive noticed also. but if you NEED those apps... | 12:11 |
| miro | in interent and some multimedia | 12:11 |
| Gnea | terryx_: ick :( | 12:11 |
| Gnea | terryx_: try the upgrade | 12:11 |
| terryx_ | u sure | 12:12 |
| piksi | well, i doubt a "normal" user would need "those apps" that aren't compatible with 64bit version anyway | 12:12 |
| terryx_ | i mean its freeze again...why to upgrade | 12:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: ok, roger. i would ask if you have considered downloading and compiling the lastest kernel, but... that is a LOT of work. by that, i mean going through every kernel option and setting them all on your own, perhaps using some parameters from the stock Ubuntu one(for instance...CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=65536), however, i would not expect you to do that, i did it, but it's a LOT of work. | 12:12 |

| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: the reason for the question about what video driver your using is because, if you were using the proprietary nvidia or fglrx(ati) driver, they aren't made ot work with kernel 2.6.28 | 12:14 |

| terryx_ | ok........thanx anyway....u know i someone help me?...i anyway i don;t think so........................ | 12:17 |
| Starnestommy | erry: it depends on what folder it is | 12:17 |
| erry | it's not a system folder | 12:17 |
| moDumass | dr_willis, its EXT3 | 12:17 |
| rinsmaster | erry, why do you want to do that? and on what folder? | 12:18 |
| erry | im not sure ud understand if i explained. | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | moDumass, then you will need to check the files/directories permissions and ownership - to see if your user can access them. | 12:18 |
| rinsmaster | erry, also, what command do you use / what permissions | 12:18 |
| erry | i right clicked it | 12:18 |
| erry | and went were it says | 12:18 |
| erry | properties | 12:18 |
| Rioting_pacifist | !raid | 12:18 |
| ubottu | raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 12:18 |
| erry | and permissions | 12:18 |
| moDumass | dr_willis, when i click ownership it either says "ownership could not be determined" or "root - you do not have permission to change ownership settings | 12:19 |
| rinsmaster | erry, and where was that folder and who owns it? (see that same tab in the properties dialog) | 12:19 |
| erry | rinsmaster, apparently root owns it | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | moDumass, use the terminal. if they are not owned by your user you will need to make them owned by the user, with the proper root ran commands.. 'sudo chown' and 'sudo chmod' | 12:20 |
| moDumass | thanks dr_willis, readin about it now | 12:20 |
| rinsmaster | erry, is the folder in your ~ (/home/yourname)?, then you can make it yours without probs, just execute: chown -R yourname path/to/folder | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | moDumass, you often have this issue if shareing a ext2/3 hard drive btween diffent linux installs and disrtos. | 12:21 |
| === feba is now known as ALT777 | ||
| moDumass | dr_willis, yeh this is a wierd way they put these together, 2 ssd drives, 1 4gig and 1 8gig, os on one and storage on the other | 12:22 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, do i need to mark REALTEK_PHY or one under Ethernet? My ethernet is Realtek | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | moDumass, ahh... they dont show up as 2 drives? or they are using some sort of unionfs, or other way to merge the 2... I got an AcerAspireOne. :) so i dont have that issue.. | 12:23 |
| roca | i installed ebox and now cant find the gui | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | moDumass, I got 120gb hd. :) | 12:23 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Is it worth setting up software raid 0 for performance gains, ive got 3 IDE drives lying about will booting up be faster or slowere (due to extra drivers) | 12:23 |
| === mariusb_ is now known as mariusb | ||
| Kartagis | how can i find out which module activates my ethernet card? | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | Kartagis, look at lsmod output and eliminate the ones its not? :) | 12:24 |
| moDumass | dr_willis, no innitially i thought that ubuntu would format both fdrives on install, but it only formatted the 4 giger and installed itself there, and it left the other as ntfs, which it didnt see | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | Kartagis, or compare the list to the nic modules in - err.. some directory i cant rember... | 12:25 |
| mar | men i ask one answer? | 12:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: i would imagine that you do need to, yes. when compiling a custom kernel this is where you need to figure out what's needed for your hardware. i'd have to google your model(which i do not know exact model you have))it myself and look in the menuconfig to see if that kernel option is exactly the right one for it | 12:25 |
| mar | from greece??? | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | Kartagis most nic modules are shown in /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net | 12:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: but my first instinct says yes | 12:26 |
| roca | i installed ebox and now cant find the gui | 12:27 |
| Stalker72 | What sound card brand has the best Linux drivers? | 12:27 |
| abhii | whenever i open mutt,inbox is emtpty,but i am able 2 send mails,what maybe d problem? | 12:27 |
| abhii | if i rum in shell command fetchmail -v some pop's come in terminal,this is wrong right? | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | !ebox | 12:28 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 12:28 |
| hischild | dr_willis, ebox is broken on intrepid. | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | hischild, get out the glue! :) | 12:29 |
| hischild | dr_willis, ppa from LP works :-) | 12:29 |
| hischild | roca, ebox is a webbased administrative panel. Are you running intrepid? | 12:29 |
| roca | hischild, yes and i just answered my own ? ... aparently they have user guides on their websites... go figure | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | a program with dcumentation and guides? :) | 12:31 |
| roca | i know... technology these days... biblical events are at hand :P | 12:31 |

| matthias_ | Hi, i have a problem, right now i am connected wireless to internet by my dlink router but since a couple of days ago i sometimes loos contact with the router by trying to ping the router and it does not respond on the ping but if i connect an cable between the router and my computer i have internet again, my computer shows wireless connection to router becasue i have the icon with 5 bars in color blue so how can i know if my ro | 12:32 |
| matthias_ | uter is to blame or ubunr u???? | 12:32 |
| matthias_ | sorry for my spellling | 12:33 |
| matthias_ | ubuntu and outer ... | 12:33 |
| matthias_ | router ... | 12:33 |
| hischild | roca, you're aware that it is broken on intrepid? | 12:33 |
| Stalker72 | Can someone name a good brand I can buy a soundcard from which has good Linux support? | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, i like my creative-audigy cards.. i would avoide creative-xfis | 12:34 |
| abhii | any mutt users help please. | 12:34 |
| === gr1ff1n is now known as gr1ffin | ||
| dr_willis | Stalker72, but the audigys are getting rare. :( | 12:34 |
| roca | hischild, yeah i am punching my self in the crotch. just upgraded lol | 12:34 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Do you know of other brands? | 12:34 |
| hischild | roca, no need. Get the PPA from LP and update it. | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, nope. If i buy a sound card.. i get Creative... | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, in this house - its onboard.. or creative add on. | 12:35 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: when you go to do the actual compile, i recommend you use the 'kernel-package' package. it'll create a .deb of your custom kernel for you. and i have some environment variables you can use for it to set the version of your linux-image.deb nicely, if you want them and if you want to copy and paste them into a text file | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, actually the Xfi may have linux support by now. Ive not researched them lately | 12:35 |
| roca | hischild, how so? | 12:35 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Are there any new and good Audigy's? | 12:35 |
| hischild | roca, the 4th reply on the bugreport --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/255368 | 12:36 |
| Evert234 | hello.. can somebody help me install the package ndiswrapper-common? | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, I think they are slowly being phased out. not sure wht ones are stil in stores. I like my Audigy2zs. They really dont need to be the latest and greatest.. thats often what causes problems in linux. | 12:36 |
| hischild | roca, tried it n worked on my box. Haven't seen a problem with it. | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, stick wuith sond cards that have been out a bit - is a safer bet | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | !hardware | 12:37 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 12:37 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Are they good enough for professional headphones? | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, that term means very little to me. what makes Professional so much better then others? | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | So you can listen to Professional MP3's ? | 12:37 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Well, professional headphones require good soundcard ;) | 12:37 |
| onetinsoldier | dr_willis: creatvie open-sourced the x-fi driver a couple of months ago. i am hoping for a good open source driver for it in the future. however, it is possible to compile and install the one they released in November | 12:37 |
| matthias_ | Stalker72: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | sound quality is subjective. :) so i doubt if anyone can answer that wuestion. | 12:37 |
| roca | hischild, ok done thanks ... so i just put in the ip address/ebox? | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, that sounds like a recursive definition... | 12:38 |
| Stalker72 | matthias_ and dr_willis: Thanks! | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | onetinsoldier, so avoide X-Fi unless you want to do some work.. for now.. :) | 12:38 |
| onetinsoldier | dr_willis: yes | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | My Audigy2zs is like.. 3+ yrs old. :) its outlasted like 5 pc's | 12:39 |

| Kartagis | onetinsoldier* | 12:40 |
| hischild | roca, Don't have ebox on this box, that's on my pc at home. try man ebox or something, perhaps read up on the docs. | 12:40 |
| imachine | hi | 12:40 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Asus is not on the list on that website you linked to | 12:40 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: yes? | 12:40 |
| imachine | I downloaded packages from launchpad | 12:40 |
| imachine | how can I get them to work? they're not .deb files. | 12:40 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: That soundcard is not X-Fi though. | 12:40 |
| roca | hischild, lol k thanks | 12:40 |
| imachine | just a folder with a bunch of files inside. | 12:41 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, thank you :) | 12:41 |
| imachine | how can I make that into .deb ? | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, i said earlier. i ONLY use creative sound cards. :) Ive had good luck with most all of them.. except the x-fi | 12:41 |
| matthias_ | anybody knows how to faultsearch if the wireless in muy computer is to blame ot the router it self, i believe the router but not sure ... | 12:41 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Ok :P | 12:41 |
| imachine | dr_willis, I had a vortex once, it was spot on. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, most of the terms in that cards description.. mean nothing to me at all. :) | 12:41 |
| imachine | got it for $10 and sold it for $30 5 years later. | 12:42 |
| imachine | maybe 3 years ;) | 12:42 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: I have Bose Companion 5 speakers right now. They have a soundcard integrated in the subwoofer. If I buy headphones and a soundcard, will I be able to switch between those two audio sources easily? | 12:42 |
| Rictoo | I've been searching on google to no avail: How would I set up alsa to output sound to two seperate sound cards simulteniously? | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | Ultra Fidelity 7.1 PCI Sound Card - means so much more to me then 'not-quite-so-ultra-fidelity' :) | 12:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: you're welcome :-) are you interested in using the kernel-package program(it's a bash script)? would you like the environment variable command for it? | 12:42 |

| MrWhammy | Hi all, small question here: I have an ntfs-partition containing all my music. Unfortunately if I start Rythmbox before I mount the partition (by clicking it in Places, Removable media), it loses track of all files and when I start it again it has to reload all files (40 gig, takes about 10 minutes). Very annoying, so two questions: why does Ubuntu think my ntfs-partition is removable media and why doesn't it automount? | 12:42 |
| webmaster | Кто шарит на русском. | 12:42 |
| imachine | how can I package files | 12:42 |
| webmaster | ? | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, No idea. I normally plug in my speakers and let them alone for years on end.. occasionally i put in headphones in the heaphone jack | 12:42 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, yes i am :) | 12:42 |
| imachine | webmaster, try #ubuntu.ru or smth | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, yoru speakers proberly cost more then my whole PC. | 12:43 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: xD | 12:43 |
| ramon | i am trying to install some stuff and in the terminal i get a message saying i dont have enough space in device...i install a new hard drive and i dont know how to use it for purpose...anyone able to help me?...the hard drive is already in use and working though | 12:43 |
| anstei | hi, i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 from 8.04. pidgin worked fine before, but now it says that tls/ssl libs are missing, but in aptitude they seem to be installed. any ideas besides compiling myself? | 12:44 |
| memphis_ | evert93, which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | ramon, you actually configured the hard drive in some way? or did ya just plug it in and expect it to work? | 12:44 |
| Evert234 | 8.10 | 12:44 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: ok.. you know how to install it i imagine... apt-get install kernel-package | 12:44 |
| sinbox | Rictoo, not sure you can with just alsa go ask in #alsa | 12:44 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: here's how to run it... | 12:44 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: 1) make-kpkg clean ; export VER=$(date +'%Y%m%d') NAMEEXT="-$(hostname)-$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)" | 12:44 |
| Rictoo | thanks sinbox | 12:44 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Ohh wait.. There's a pod connected to the speakers which has two holes; one for headphones and one for mic (I think).. I might be able to use it for headphones. | 12:45 |
| memphis_ | hit applications --> add/remove software and search for Windows Drivers (or something like that) | 12:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: 2) make-kpkg --revision=$VER --append-to-version=$NAMEEXT --rootcmd --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, often if you got somthing in the headphones jack. it auto-disabvles the speakers. | 12:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: wait.. i need to redo #2 | 12:45 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: That's fine. | 12:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: 2) make-kpkg --revision=$VER --append-to-version=$NAMEEXT --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | Stalker72, of course i wonder how one gets 5.1+ sound out of a headphone jack to high end speakers... seems like somthings going to get lost. | 12:45 |
| matthias_ | ramon: what do you mean ???, if the HD is full then you can not i guess by checking with df it will tell if the hard drive is full or not | 12:46 |
| cizra | Hi | 12:46 |
| cizra | How to see the major/minor device numbers in Ubuntu? | 12:46 |
| cizra | In debian the "file" utility shows them | 12:46 |
| ramon | dr_willis i did installed the hard drive and is working...i even set it up for manage it on the graphical interface...but this is one of the messages which is the problem..../usr/bin/mandb: can't write to /var/cache/man/ko/5849: No space left on device | 12:46 |
| Evert234 | memphis, do i need a internet connection to do that? im trying to set up a connection, so i don't have one right now | 12:46 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, do i run it before or after the make? | 12:46 |
| Stalker72 | dr_willis: Oohh. I have one more question. I think Linux finds my speakers as 2.1 speakers (they are physically 2.1), but they produce 5.1 sound. How do I solve that? :P | 12:46 |
| Evert234 | Siemens Gigaset Usb adapter 108 is a WLAN receiver | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | ramon, where is the new drive being mounted to? just mounting it will not free up space on the first hard drive.. You may nee dto move your /home/ or other directories over to it.. to free ups pace on the first hd. | 12:47 |
| ramon | dr_willis in /media/mynewdrive | 12:47 |
| memphis_ | yea, you need a working internet connection for the install of ndiswrapper | 12:47 |
| sinbox | Evert234, not sure you need ndiswrapper for this one | 12:48 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: you do the make menuconfig. then i recommend you make a backup of your .config file, like so --> cp -v .config ../config-config-linux-2.6.28-rc7-git1 (for example). then... run the 'make-kpkg commands i gave you | 12:49 |
| leon | hi | 12:49 |
| leon | merry chris all | 12:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: you never do the 'make' command.. the 'make-kpkg' command i gave replace the 'make' command | 12:50 |
| leon | anyone use wicd on ubuntu? | 12:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: the 'make-kpkg' commands i gave you replace doing the 'make' command. understood? | 12:51 |
| * cizra feels ignored )= | 12:51 | |
| leon | i stall wicd on ubuntu , but now ubuntu startup very slow! | 12:51 |
| Kartagis | yes thanks | 12:51 |
| Dompie | Hi, does anyone know why VLC won't stream wma2 audio? | 12:52 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: good question, just keep asking it every 5 minutes or so. you'll get an answer eventually | 12:52 |
| anstei | hi, i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 from 8.04. pidgin worked fine before, but now it says that tls/ssl libs are missing, but in aptitude they seem to be installed. any ideas besides compiling myself? | 12:53 |
| ramon | dr_willis you there? | 12:53 |
| cizra | onetinsoldier: Heh. Well, actually I'm trying to figure out the major/minors for /dev/hda1. Happen to have one? | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | hmmm? | 12:53 |
| sinbox | actually Evert234 my mistakes it seems you do need ndiswrapper, and you do need an internet connection of some sort to get the drivers | 12:53 |
| leon | ramon , you can search apt-cache search ssl | 12:53 |
| orgthingy | so, i messed up with permissions again and wanna use chown to fix this | 12:54 |
| cizra | anstei: ldd `which pidgin`, check if the libs are there | 12:54 |
| orgthingy | but i seem to have little problem: chown: cannot access `/home/orgthingy/.gvfs': Permission | 12:54 |
| sinbox | Dompie, ask in #videolan channel | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | ramon, mounting the new drive someplace does not free up any space on the other drive. | 12:54 |
| ramon | leon would you explain | 12:54 |
| cizra | anstei: Perhaps you compiled pidgin yourself? | 12:54 |
| leon | let me check | 12:54 |
| ramon | dr_willis i know that but how i do then? | 12:54 |
| leon | private msh to me | 12:54 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: have you tried ls -l /dev/hda1 ?? | 12:54 |
| Dompie | sinbox: ok thnsk | 12:54 |
| orgthingy | nvm, i solved problem after asking :P bye | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | ramon, move stuff over.. mount new drive in proper place.. ie: if you decide to move all of /homes over.. then mount new drive at /homes | 12:55 |
| rinsmaster | anstei, check to which version pidgin is compiled, do: ldd /usr/bin/pidgin | 12:55 |
| MrWhammy | have an ntfs-partition containing all my music. Unfortunately if I start Rythmbox before I mount the partition (by clicking it in Places, Removable media), it loses track of all files and when I start it again it has to reload all files (40 gig, takes about 10 minutes). Very annoying, so two questions: why does Ubuntu think my ntfs-partition is removable media and why doesn't it automount? Or better, how can I fix it :) ? It used | 12:55 |
| rinsmaster | anstei, then check which version you have in /usr/lib | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | ramon, or move /tmp over and link /tmp to /media/newdrive/tmp | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | ramon, totally depends on yoru system and setup and whats taking up all the space | 12:55 |
| cizra | onetinsoldier: O, really, thanks | 12:56 |
| ramon | dr_willis how do i mount the hd to become part of the system then? | 12:56 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: did that work ok for you. get you what you were looking for? | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | ramon, edit fstab.. same as you set any other mountpoint | 12:57 |
| cizra | onetinsoldier: Well, I learned how to see the device numbers | 12:57 |
| cizra | onetinsoldier: Still have to find out the right numbers, though. | 12:57 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: ok... | 12:58 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: i don't have an hda1.. mine are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 | 12:58 |
| cizra | onetinsoldier: Yes, that's the Ubuntu way | 12:58 |
| hspaans | ubuntu way? | 12:58 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2008-12-25 19:11 /dev/sda1 | 12:59 |
| cizra | hspaans: Yes, Ubuntu prefers to access all disks through SCSI emulation | 12:59 |
| cizra | onetinsoldier: Doesn't help, but still thanks | 12:59 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: ok, roger | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | more and more disrots are doing the 'every disk is a scsi disk' way now a datys it seems | 13:00 |
| hspaans | cizra: no, its kernel 2.6 and sata, it has nothing todo with ubuntu | 13:00 |
| anstei | rinsmaster: libnspr4.so.0d, libnss3.so.1d and libssl3so.1d are there as they should be | 13:00 |
| cizra | hspaans: Not only SATA, IDE drives are sd* in Ubuntu as well. | 13:01 |
| rinsmaster | anstei, strange then, try reinstalling pidgin | 13:01 |
| hspaans | cizra: yes that is kernel 2.6 since they are rewriting the IDE-subsystem | 13:02 |
| cizra | hspaans: Well, are you claiming that ALL kernel 2.6 uses /dev/sd* for all disks? | 13:02 |
| cizra | hspaans: You must be mistaken because mine does not. | 13:02 |
| hspaans | cizra: there is nothing ubuntu about it | 13:02 |
| hspaans | cizra: which part of rewrite did you not understand? | 13:03 |
| cizra | hspaans: Well, I personally have my IDE disks as /dev/hd*. And I am truly running kernel 2.6. How do you explain that? | 13:03 |
| isle85 | Hi, I try to find help to create a package for Ubuntu. The program is a java one, which doesn't need any compilation. | 13:03 |
| hspaans | cizra: then you're chipset is still running in pata-mode instead of sata-mode | 13:04 |
| cizra | hspaans: Mm.. OK | 13:04 |
| === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 | ||
| dr_willis | cizra, from what ive seen - it often depends on the chipset/machine - i got one box that shows hd's as hd. :) and the satas as sd. but its an old machine | 13:05 |
| cizra | Oh geez | 13:05 |
| Valenstein | hello! can anyone help? | 13:05 |
| * cizra is mucking around in initrds trying to make his ext4 root mount again | 13:05 | |
| hischild | !ask | Valenstein | 13:05 |
| ubottu | Valenstein: 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. :-) | 13:05 |
| Valenstein | ok... | 13:06 |
| hspaans | cizra: but just use LVM or UUID to get rid of the issues | 13:06 |
| isle85 | need help to create an Ubuntu package | 13:06 |
| cizra | hspaans: I use LVM, it's nifty. But now I don't have a kernel/initrd combo capable of mounting my ext4 root )= | 13:07 |
| gizmo | what is 'su' <--means | 13:07 |
| ortsvorsteher | gizmo: su means switch user... | 13:07 |
| cizra | hspaans: I haven't had so much fun for ages. | 13:07 |
| incidence | man su | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | gizmo, learn to use 'sudo' not 'su' | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | gizmo | 13:07 |
| ubottu | gizmo: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 13:07 |
| hspaans | cizra: ok ;-) | 13:07 |
| cizra | dr_willis: sudo su 9= | 13:08 |
| hspaans | cizra: if you think lvm is nifty, try zfs and zfsboot on solaris ;-) | 13:08 |
| onetinsoldier | cizra: if you wish to find out the UUID of a device to put into your fstab, install 'blkid' | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | ciza what are we trying to do? one does not need to do 'sudo su' -- Use 'sudo -s' | 13:09 |
| Zmajci | After upgrading from gutsy to hardy, numeric pad don't work: i suppose it must be something with X keyb configuration that conflicts with gnome. The command for re-setting x? dpkg ?? (thanks) | 13:09 |
| rinsmaster | or sudo bash :P | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | do NOT use sudo su, or sudo bash. use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' | 13:09 |
| cizra | dr_willis: Heh, indeed. Didn't know about that one. | 13:09 |
| cizra | dr_willis: Why NOT sudo su? | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | go read | 13:10 |
| brutus | where does the command- "bunzip2 -c xxx.tar.bz2 | tar xf - " unpack the stuff to? | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | its redunaant and MAY not set up the settings properly cizra | 13:10 |
| Valenstein | i am novice in ubuntu so... when i try to install something in terminal it asks for root user password... what to do? | 13:10 |
| cizra | brutus: PWD | 13:10 |
| mannn26 | yups | 13:10 |
| cizra | dr_willis: OK | 13:10 |
| cizra | brutus: .. assuming tar has removed the leading slashes, which it usually does. | 13:10 |
| brutus | cizra, thank you | 13:11 |
| onetinsoldier | sudo su? kinda redundant seems to me | 13:11 |
| ortsvorsteher | Valenstein: try to give him your user password | 13:11 |
| Valenstein | tried... doesn't work.. | 13:12 |
| ortsvorsteher | Valenstein: how do you install programs? with sudo? | 13:12 |
| gizmo | so im not the root? | 13:12 |
| dr_willis | command line tools to do 'system type tasks' MUST use sudo normally | 13:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Valenstein: what are you trying to install? | 13:12 |
| dr_willis | sudo SOME-special-system-altering-command | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | :) | 13:13 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, I have a different question. i want to make an image of a cd. should i use genisoimage or dd? | 13:13 |
| eugene_ | hi! I am rather new to Ubuntu and have a problems that I can't solve. :( Could anyone help me? | 13:13 |
| ortsvorsteher | just ask eugene_ | 13:13 |
| cizra | Kartagis: Um, do you want to copy the CD into the hard disk or vice versa? | 13:13 |
| onetinsoldier | Valenstein: sudo apt-get install <package_name> | 13:13 |
| Valenstein | hmm... i just typing "./Install" while in the directory the file is there... install is the file that i need to run... | 13:14 |
| Kartagis | cizra, i want to make an iso file | 13:14 |
| cizra | Valenstein: sudo ./Install then. What's that package, by the way? | 13:14 |
| dmizer | need a graphical sftp client ... filezilla is a no go because i can't use the my openssh keys. sshfs is a no go because i don't want to allow shell access. what other options do i have here? | 13:14 |
| cizra | Kartagis: mkisofs or genisoimage then | 13:14 |
| === mar is now known as mar{troo} | ||
| cizra | Kartagis: .. if you want to make it out of files lying around your hard drive | 13:14 |
| cizra | Kartagis: or dd if you want to make it out of an existing CD. | 13:14 |
| gizmo | in using my terminal..how im going to be a root? | 13:14 |
| Zygot | eugene_: you need to elaborate a little | 13:14 |
| Kartagis | !anyone | eugene_ | 13:14 |
| ubottu | eugene_: 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? | 13:14 |
| cizra | gizmo: sudo -s makes you a root | 13:15 |
| dmizer | gizmo: to get a root prompt, type sudo -i | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 13:15 |
| eugene_ | Thanks! Basically the problem is that all the games here crash. The video freezes with some weird artifact on the screen. I ran the hardware test and it says that my resolution is "impossible with fglrx". My resolution should be 1920x1200. I tried installing the latest ATI drivers but that doesn't help | 13:16 |
| Zygot | eugene_: ouch | 13:16 |
| dmizer | gizmo ... or just prefix all your commands with "sudo" and avoid the root prompt all together. | 13:16 |
| amalji | where can i get 3d games for ubuntu ? | 13:16 |
| Valenstein | yes.. sudo ./Install... it's package of internet dialer installer... so it asks for root password.. | 13:16 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: hmmm, i don't do much of that kind of thing. i would think might end up wanto to use both... piping the dd into genisoimage? i don't now really. seems like you'd need to make the image of your filesystem, then pass it along to the genisoimage. but let me know if you find out the correct way to do it! | 13:16 |
| amalji | I would like to test my graphics card performance on ubuntu | 13:16 |
| wet | alalji, getdeb | 13:17 |
| Dvyjones | Hi! I'm trying to compile WINE with OpenGL, but it complains about no OpenGL-library on the system. Which packages do I need to install to get OpenGL libraries? | 13:17 |
| Zmajci | After upgrade, the numeric pad does not work (num lock IS on), everything else is ok. Some ideas on why? | 13:17 |
| cizra | amalji: aptitude install openarena | 13:17 |
| cizra | Dvyjones: something with mesa | 13:17 |
| Zygot | Kartagis: rip the cd? | 13:17 |
| sidewalk | what application do you guys recommend for sharing optical devices from one Ubuntu machine to another Ubuntu machine? | 13:17 |
| sidewalk | sharing over the network | 13:17 |
| Kartagis | onetinsoldier, I am using genisoimage -R -o file.iso /media/cdrom0 | 13:18 |
| cizra | sidewalk: ssh (= | 13:18 |
| selkies | guys how can i make dual boot after reinstalling d xp ?? | 13:18 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, nfs can do that, or samba has ways to automount the optical disk. | 13:18 |
| Dvyjones | cizra: libgl1-mesa-dev? | 13:18 |
| cizra | Kartagis: OMG | 13:18 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, or use sshfs. | 13:18 |
| Valenstein | cizra: yes.. sudo ./Install... it's package of internet dialer installer... so it asks for root password.. | 13:18 |
| Kartagis | Zygot, no, I want to make a perfect copy | 13:18 |
| cizra | Kartagis: Why didn't you say you're trying to copy a CD into your computer? | 13:18 |
| eugene_ | Zygot: is that some kind of common problem? | 13:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Kartagis: ok.. i was just going to say, i reread your message. yeah.. i think all you need is genisoimage | 13:18 |
| dmizer | a gui sftp client. filezilla is a no go. any ideas? | 13:18 |
| amalji | thank you cizra | 13:18 |
| cizra | Valenstein: ohm. umm.. well, make a root password? | 13:18 |
| amalji | :) | 13:18 |
| cizra | Dvyjones: I dunno | 13:18 |
| Valenstein | cizra: how? | 13:18 |
| cizra | Valenstein: type sudo passwd root | 13:19 |
| Kartagis | cizra, I said I want to make an iso image didn't I? | 13:19 |
| cizra | Kartagis: You didn't say out of what. | 13:19 |
| hischild | cizra, Please don't suggest setting a root password unless you'll be here 24/7 to help with the problems. | 13:19 |
| cizra | hischild: eh. Well, if a script asks for a root password.. OK, I'll shut up now. | 13:19 |
| amalji | any 3d strategy games on linux ? | 13:19 |
| Dvyjones | !opengl | 13:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl | 13:20 |
| Valenstein | well... i have to go thanks for the help! | 13:20 |
| hischild | cizra, then run the script as root | 13:20 |
| fivetwentysix | amalji: linux people don't play games.. | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | amalji, warzone2020 I think is one. :) depends on what you need/want | 13:20 |
| amalji | yeah.. .I know.... :) | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | !find warzone | 13:20 |
| ubottu | Found: warzone2100, warzone2100-data, warzone2100-dbg, warzone2100-music | 13:20 |
| sh1m0n | Hi, I'm new to ubuntu and after installing, which worked pretty fine, i habe a little issue with my apple keyboard. The "<" and "^" are substituted. Using the Keyboard Manager (don't know the exact Name of it) didn't help to change those two keys.... Does anyone have any advice ? | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | oops 2100 :) not 2020 | 13:20 |
| cizra | fivetwentysix: wrong (= | 13:21 |
| selkies | will it still dual boot after reinstalling xp ? | 13:21 |
| amalji | Even I don't play it... Just wanted to try out how it works... So that I can turn a few game freaks into linux users.. :) | 13:21 |
| hischild | fivetwentysix, i still game loads. | 13:21 |
| fivetwentysix | sh1m0n, You forgot to set the keyboard type.. | 13:21 |
| cizra | amalji: OpenGL strategy? Warzone1100 | 13:21 |
| sidewalk | so samba is the best way to share optical devices over the network? | 13:21 |
| cizra | amalji: Or, yeah, whatever the number was | 13:21 |
| eugene_ | so is there really no ideas about "impossible with fglrx resolution"? :'( | 13:21 |
| sidewalk | with automount and stuff like that | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, its one way.. it depends on the details | 13:21 |
| fivetwentysix | sh1m0n, Goto system - > preferences - > keyboard | 13:21 |
| sh1m0n | i set it up as an aplle keyboard | 13:21 |
| cizra | sh1m0n: xmodmap | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, automounting new media may be a bit more complex.. You could just share /media/ | 13:21 |
| sh1m0n | xmodmap? | 13:22 |
| cizra | sh1m0n: (the difficult but powerful way) | 13:22 |
| sidewalk | dr_willis: well i pretty much want to stick a cd or a dvd in one machine, and have them appear on another machine | 13:22 |
| sh1m0n | :-s | 13:22 |
| cizra | sh1m0n: So, try other ways first (= | 13:22 |
| selkies | will it still dual boot after reinstalling xp ? | 13:22 |
| sh1m0n | i will, u know any other? | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, i dont think thats going to automacially happen. | 13:22 |
| Zmajci | selkies: XP will overwrite grub... make sure you have a supergrub disk on hand :) | 13:22 |
| cizra | selkies: Prolly not, it'll run over your boto loader with a steam roller, I guess. | 13:22 |
| dmizer | i need a gui sftp client. i'm using xubuntu (no nautils) filezilla doesn't work. help? | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, i even HATE that automount/popup stuff on a local machine. :) | 13:23 |
| sidewalk | dr_willis: so you mean that there are applications for this for Mac OSX, but not for Ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| hischild | dmizer, sshfs ? | 13:23 |
| selkies | Zmajci: wat is supergrub... plz elaborate | 13:23 |
| dmizer | hischild sshfs doesn't work because i don't have a shell on the server. | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, my APple Machine is a DoorStop. | 13:23 |
| selkies | cizra: how can i then make it dual boot?.. | 13:23 |
| hischild | dmizer, you got ssh access? | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, If you want to compare/contrast/rant/rave about OS's thats for the Offtopic channel. | 13:24 |
| dmizer | hischild no. | 13:24 |
| dmizer | hischild i can sftp in with winscp without a problem though. | 13:24 |
| sidewalk | dr_willis: no, i want a solution for my two ubuntu machines, for a problem which Mac OSX already has solved | 13:24 |
| mkultra | hello | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, it can be done with samba - ive seen it done ages ago or at least somthing similer. but you are getting onto the deeper layers of the OS. GnomeAutoMounting -> samba-> remote-box automounting stuff.. so thers a lot of things that can do wrong. | 13:24 |
| ortsvorsteher | !hello | 13:25 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, i would use sshfs to mount /media/ and see if that work | 13:25 |
| hischild | dmizer, from what i know that also uses ssh for it's connections. | 13:25 |
| ANDIKYU | rtrrtrttr | 13:25 |
| Zmajci | selkies: supergrub is an utility... http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 13:25 |
| ANDIKYU | hk | 13:25 |
| dmizer | hischild yes it does, but it does not get a shell. | 13:25 |
| dmizer | hischild sshfs requires a shell. | 13:26 |
| cizra | selkies: um, someone mentioned supergrub or something | 13:26 |
| dmizer | hischild i am trying to connect to a chrooted sftp server. | 13:26 |
| fivetwentysix | sigh | 13:26 |
| ANDIKYU | arief | 13:26 |
| hischild | dmizer, i see. Sorry then, out of idea's. | 13:26 |
| dmizer | hischild yeesh. | 13:26 |
| selkies | Zmajci: so after reinstalling xp.. will i need it to run from xp (supergrub) | 13:27 |
| cizra | selkies: no, it's probably a bootable CD | 13:27 |
| selkies | cizra: can u elaborate on how to use it.. i am quite new to linux.. | 13:28 |
| cizra | selkies: I have no idea, I've never seen it. But I bet it's an ISO image you need to download and burn, then boot the computer from the supergrub CD. | 13:29 |
| * hspaans notices that this can also be done with the livecd | 13:30 | |
| Zmajci | selkies: if you reinstall XP on a dual boot machine, XP will overwrite grub (bootloader). With supergrub you can re-install your dual boot loader. Supergrub is an utility: you can use it from XP or from a floppy or CD (check out the web page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ ) | 13:30 |

| onetinsoldier | v4vijayakumar: then close out firefox... tell me when you've done all that | 13:53 |
| mrwes | :) | 13:54 |

| AMDMutant | cizra: so make a head | 14:04 |
| cizra | AMDMutant: Give 'em a head, right. But I can't, this is a laptop with a dead video card. | 14:04 |
| AMDMutant | cizra: cool | 14:04 |
| jacobw-uk | cizra: i don't really have any experience with stuff like that but i'd stick a monitor on it until i got it net booting fine before i went headless | 14:04 |
| jacobw-uk | ahh ok | 14:05 |
| onetinsoldier | v4vijayakumar: once you done that, open up firefox and put in the address bar --> about:plugins ..see that it's installed, look at the version and make sure it looks correct | 14:05 |
| jacobw-uk | cizra: is there an external monitor port on the laptop? | 14:05 |
| cizra | Yes, but the video card is dead. | 14:05 |
| jacobw-uk | oh right yeah | 14:05 |
| AMDMutant | cizra: buy a new one | 14:05 |

| onetinsoldier | boss: please don't send me file without asking me first.. please just make your problem description like you have it, but ass url's for pastebin's of your xorg.conf and your Xorg.0.log file in it. for posting to the channel here, not to me. in case you don't know what pastebin is... | 14:45 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: you can use your W980 as gsm modem | 14:45 |
| cizra | pfct: Umm, why do you think you can mount it at all? | 14:45 |
| onetinsoldier | !pastebin | boss | 14:45 |
| ubottu | boss: 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) | 14:45 |
| onetinsoldier | s/ass/add | 14:46 |
| onetinsoldier | lol | 14:46 |
| pfct | AMDMutant: I know, but I want to be able to access the music files | 14:46 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: to read write it you can use software, i forgot... | 14:46 |
| mortuis99 | !trash | 14:47 |
| rinsmaster | lot of netsplits these times | 14:47 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 14:47 |
| mortuis99 | ok i know where trash is how do i empty it? | 14:47 |
| rinsmaster | rightclick, empty trash, or rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* | 14:48 |
| onetinsoldier | boss: ok,i see that you told me you were going to send the file, just saw that now. however, please ask first next time. anyway, make a pstebin of it | 14:48 |
| boss | http://paste.ubuntu.com/93210/ | 14:48 |
| onetinsoldier | pastebin* | 14:48 |
| onetinsoldier | boss: ok, i'll have a look | 14:48 |
| boss | here it is | 14:48 |
| mortuis99 | i have tried dozend of time right clicking and the dirs are still in the trash | 14:49 |
| boss | tnx | 14:49 |
| onetinsoldier | yep | 14:49 |
| pfct | cizra: I thought it should be possible when the phone is in Mass Storage mode. When I connect in Phone mode I can sometimes access using Wammu. In Media mode F-Spot Photo Manager finds all the files, but only makes sense of the photos. | 14:49 |
| scientes | how do i view drv:// locations? | 14:49 |
| rinsmaster | mortuis99, then those dirs are probably owned by root, try: sudo chown -R yourname ~/.local/share/Trash | 14:49 |
| Katangawise | lkjlkjl | 14:49 |
| cizra | pfct: Mass storage, yes. Check dmesg for messages about usb-storage and sdb or something when you plug it in. | 14:50 |

| Zmajci | fter upgrading my numpad don't work properly (it moves the arrow instead of typing numbers). reconfigured xorg.conf, it doesn't help. any suggestions? | 14:50 |
| cizra | Zmajci: Have you tried pressing the Num lock? | 14:51 |
| cizra | Zmajci: Sorry if it sounds dumb | 14:51 |
| Zmajci | cizra: lol... unfortunately.. yes.. makes no difference | 14:51 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: how is it if you use wammu? | 14:52 |
| mortuis99 | rinsmaster one dir was deleted and one is still there | 14:53 |
| onetinsoldier | boss: ok, i think i might nkow what's wrong. old version of flgrx driver. what's the output of the following command? dpkg -l '*fglrx*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2, $3} | 14:53 |
| rinsmaster | mortuis99, does the dir have a lock on it or so? | 14:53 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: yes if you want to manually mount it check dmesg | 14:54 |
| mortuis99 | i went to the dir in the trash and yes there are locks on them | 14:54 |
| rinsmaster | mortuis99, because with the sudo chown thing you just gave yourself the rights, so now you should be able to remove it | 14:54 |
| Zmajci | cizra: all other buttons work corretly, only that the numpad is moving the arrow (quite well) instead of typing. with button number 5 you can even select! but I want numbers back! | 14:54 |
| rinsmaster | mortuis99, then do: sudo chown -R yourname ~/.local/share/Trash | 14:54 |

| Tosko | can someone help me with the laptop hard drive Load_Cycle_Count issue? | 14:55 |
| panfist | from a fresh install of 8.10 x64 I have enabled ATI restricted drivers and installed mplayer. my video playback suffers from screen tearing. i am using an athlon x2 @ 2.4GHz on a 780G motherboard. i think the hardware should be fast enough to playback most video but even standard def gives me screen tearing. what software settings should i be using to get the smoothest playback | 14:55 |
| AMDMutant | anyone use lam-mpi? | 14:56 |
| kerstin | Hi there | 14:56 |
| pfct | AMDMutant: It seems to come up as a SCSI removable disk on sdb | 14:56 |
| pfct | cisra: It seems to come up as a SCSI removable disk on sdb | 14:56 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: sdb it is | 14:57 |
| pfct | AMDMutant: Can I mount this? | 14:57 |
| mortuis99 | rinsmaster i did "chown -R yourname ~/.local/share/Trash" then "sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*" and it is still there | 14:57 |
| kerstin | I have a "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 215CT [Mach64 CT]" and only 800x600 screen resolution - is the hardware too bad or is there something within ubuntu that I can do to improve it? | 14:57 |
| Zmajci | rinsmaster, cizra: it seems like a feature, not a bug, that activate itself just after upgrade... just unable to find HOW to swith it off LOL | 14:57 |
| piojunbabia | hello? | 14:58 |
| piojunbabia | i need help? | 14:58 |
| rinsmaster | Zmajci, yes it is a feature, but I can't find the option either now :P It was once activatable somewhere | 14:58 |
| piojunbabia | somebody here? | 14:58 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 14:58 |

| ubottu | piojunbabia: 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. :-) | 15:00 |
| leon | many | 15:00 |
| AMDMutant | piojunbabia: !hi | 15:00 |
| bazhang | piojunbabia, please ask a question | 15:00 |
| mortuis99 | piojunbabia just ask a question u dont need to get someones attention | 15:00 |
| earthian | Where can I find support for Ubuntu netbook remix? | 15:00 |
| piojunbabia | ok thank you.. | 15:01 |
| ttye0 | earthian: I'd like to know to | 15:01 |
| piojunbabia | i want to know how to install avira anti virus | 15:01 |
| AMDMutant | earthian: to the left and then right... and then right... | 15:01 |
| bazhang | piojunbabia, no need | 15:01 |
| ttye0 | Hah | 15:01 |
| earthian | Thanks | 15:01 |
| viper | strange that my laptop battery drained and my filesystem got corrupted today | 15:01 |
| piojunbabia | bazhang, why? | 15:01 |
| bazhang | !virus | 15:01 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 15:01 |
| viper | vuze lost all its downloading torrents too | 15:01 |
| Zmajci | rinsmaster, cizra: how to reset completely GNOME preference to default? maybe deleting the configuration file (which one?) or with a configuration tool? | 15:02 |
| piojunbabia | !virus | 15:02 |
| piojunbabia | ? | 15:02 |

| kerstin | Hey guys - any tipps for a mach64 ati card in ubuntu 8.10? | 15:02 |
| pfct | AMDMutant: Nothing, the command just drops me back to the prompt | 15:03 |
| piojunbabia | now how to install adobe flash in linux? | 15:04 |
| SlimeyPete | !flash | 15:04 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 15:04 |
| SlimeyPete | though I think firefox can just do it automatically these days | 15:05 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: really? try mount sdb then | 15:05 |
| piojunbabia | i have a very old versio of ubuntu is that procedure ok - the link you gave? | 15:05 |
| onetinsoldier | Zmajci: you might try deleteing all the .gnome stuff in your /home/user directory. but if other settings have been chasnged elsewhere, such as soem settings somehwere in /etc/ then i don't know | 15:05 |
| piojunbabia | i also have older version of firefox | 15:05 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 15:06 |
| SlimeyPete | piojunbabia: what version of ubuntu? | 15:06 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: no info about sdb... | 15:06 |
| leon | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:06 |
| piojunbabia | something called "breezy *" | 15:06 |
| * grobda24 says Happy New Ubuntu Year. | 15:06 | |
| leon | piojunbabia, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:06 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: That has not been supported for quite some time. You will not be able to install software with apt. | 15:07 |
| piojunbabia | what does that mean? | 15:07 |
| piojunbabia | i am not familiar with linux commands | 15:07 |
| Pici | !breezy | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details. | 15:07 |
| kerstin | oh right, happy new year too you guys too ;) | 15:07 |
| pfct | AMDMutant: sudo mount sdb returns no entry in etc/fstab or etc/mtab and sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt returns special device sdb1 does not exist | 15:07 |
| grobda24 | I can see the files in a root owned directory ... how can I hide everything ? | 15:07 |
| SlimeyPete | piojunbabia: just type it into a terminal | 15:07 |
| Pici | SlimeyPete: It won't work. | 15:07 |
| Zmajci | onetinsoldier: thanks. I already reconfigured xorg.conf to default (even screen on vesa)... so I hope it must be gnome.. wish me luck.. thanks folk | 15:07 |
| piojunbabia | ok thanks | 15:07 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: It won't work. | 15:07 |
| SlimeyPete | Pici: Oh. Is Breezy too old? | 15:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Zmajci: for example... cd ~/ && rm -rfv .compiz .gconf* .gnome* .gstream* .gvfs .nautilus | 15:07 |
| xun | Hi guys, quick question. if I create a symbolic link using "mount --bind", will it still be there after I reboot? | 15:07 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: Your version of Ubuntu is too old. | 15:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Zmajci: ok, good luck! | 15:08 |
| Pici | SlimeyPete: EOL April 2007. | 15:08 |
| SlimeyPete | Pici: you really need to get hold of a newer version of Ubuntu. | 15:08 |
| Pici | SlimeyPete: Not me ;) | 15:08 |
| SlimeyPete | erm | 15:08 |
| earthian2 | Hello again.. I am using Ubuntu netbook remix that is Hardy in heart. And i have this message in my syslog: http://pastebin.com/d4fe39a7 | 15:08 |
| SlimeyPete | sorry, mis-tab | 15:08 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt ? | 15:08 |
| SlimeyPete | piojunbabia: you really need to get hold of a newer version of Ubuntu. | 15:08 |
| SlimeyPete | it will be difficult to install a recent version of Flash on Breezy | 15:08 |
| rinsmaster | Zmajci, or install a gnome config manager app thing, it's a bit like the windows registry, you can change allot of stuff | 15:08 |
| gizmo | who know the define of pulpie? | 15:08 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: probably you can't | 15:09 |
| grobda24 | Don't think I phrased that very well ... I can see the files in a root owned directory as a non root user ... how can I hide everything in that directory from non root users ?? | 15:09 |
| Pici | gizmo: Not a topic this channel is for, Try ##linguistics . | 15:09 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: how if you use wammu? | 15:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthian, ubuntu based remix's are like mint.. not supported here | 15:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mint | 15:09 |
| ubottu | The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 15:09 |
| piojunbabia | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:09 |
| rinsmaster | lolz | 15:10 |
| piojunbabia | i found that as an error message | 15:10 |
| rinsmaster | open up synaptic package manager under the system menu | 15:10 |
| rinsmaster | and search for flashplugin | 15:10 |
| rinsmaster | @piojunbabia | 15:10 |
| leon | piojunbabia, you shuold upgrade your os version | 15:10 |
| xun | hello, if I create a symbolic link using "mount --bind", will it still be there after I reboot? | 15:10 |
| Pici | gizmo: chmod -R o-r /that/path That will remove read privleges to Other users. | 15:10 |
| AMDMutant | pfct: xgnokii, gmobilemedia | 15:10 |
| piojunbabia | ca i upgrade my ubuntu online? | 15:10 |
| leon | yes | 15:11 |
| piojunbabia | can* | 15:11 |
| nibbler_ | xun: mount does not make symbolic links, ln does | 15:11 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: Not that version. | 15:11 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: It is too old by many versions. | 15:11 |
| piojunbabia | is there any other way? | 15:11 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: You can download a new CD from http://www.ubuntu.com/download or request a CD from shipit. | 15:11 |
| xun | nibbler_ , i thought you could link an empty folder to another one with "mount --bind" no? | 15:11 |
| Pici | !shipit > piojunbabia | 15:11 |
| ubottu | piojunbabia, please see my private message | 15:11 |
| earthian | Jack_Sparrow, afaik i downloaded that from canonical.com website... which is ermm.. like ubuntu kubuntu edubuntu xubuntu and ubuntu remix.. like one family, isnt it? | 15:11 |
| xun | I'm using it to manage some ftp access | 15:11 |
| nibbler_ | xun: tis works, but thats mounting, not symbolic-linking. there are many ways to achive one goal | 15:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthian, to a degree.. yes.. but many are not | 15:12 |
| piojunbabia | thank you ubottu | 15:12 |
| nibbler_ | xun: mount -obind and ln -s are two of them | 15:12 |
| earthian | :/ | 15:12 |
| piojunbabia | they will send me a cd for free? | 15:12 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: Yes. | 15:12 |
| nibbler_ | xun: but while the link would be preserved, mounts are only done according to /etc/fstab after each reboot | 15:12 |
| xun | nibller_, i see. what method would you recommend using then(so that it won't disappear after reboot) | 15:13 |
| piojunbabia | How long will it take? I am from the Philippines.... | 15:13 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: i 'think' chmod 0600 ...might be what you're looking for | 15:13 |
| nibbler_ | xun: use ln -s to make symbolic links, those dont disapper, but their handling depends on ftp deamon, so check if it wirks | 15:13 |
| nibbler_ | works | 15:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthian, ONce others take ubuntu and add things and change repos and mostly dependencies... it can get ugly to repair | 15:13 |
| piojunbabia | How long will it take? I am from the Philippines.... | 15:14 |
| earthian | but thats a kernel related question | 15:14 |
| Pici | piojunbabia: I don't know | 15:14 |
| piojunbabia | ok | 15:14 |
| xun | niibler_,ya, that's the thing, i think i checked last night and it didn't work, that's why i used "mount --bind", but i'll try again | 15:14 |
| Pici | onetinsoldier: That may interrupt other owner related permissions. chmod g-r is a safer way to go. | 15:14 |
| piojunbabia | i will ask for a cd from that site thank you... | 15:14 |
| grobda24 | onetinsoldier, ok, thanks | 15:14 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: either 0600 or 0700 | 15:14 |
| nibbler_ | xun: there might be an option "follow symlinks" or the like in your ftpd | 15:14 |
| xun | nibbler_, how do I add mount option (such as --bind) for a folder in fstab. I only know how to mount drives | 15:15 |
| Pici | grobda24: That may interrupt other owner related permissions. chmod g-r is a safer way to go. | 15:15 |
| nibbler_ | xun: umm, no idea, option tab need to have bind in it, device is the "sourcefolder" and mountpoint is obv. | 15:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Pici: grobda24 seemed to want pretty tight permission on it | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthian, I am using Ubuntu netbook remix that is Hardy in heart.. Sounds like something you did not get from canonical | 15:15 |
| xun | nibbler_, ok. thanks, I'll check out to see if there is such option in my ftpd, i'm using proftpd btw | 15:16 |
| nibbler_ | xun: keep the possible securityrisks in mind when you do that... | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthian, and that error is not from our kernel, it looks more like you are trying to buyild up your own | 15:17 |
| earthian | hm | 15:17 |
| Pici | onetinsoldier: But if a file is chmodded already to 7xx chmoding to 6xx will break the executable bit for owners, and vice versa. 'o-r' (not g-r, I mistyped) will remove read permissions from everyone else, which is what he wants. | 15:17 |
| earthian | i downloaded mine from launchpad.com got a link from canonical.com | 15:17 |
| piojunbabia | so i do not need an anti virus on my ubuntu right? | 15:17 |
| ardchoille | How do I remove the google search bar from the firefox toolbar? | 15:17 |
| earthian | used usb stick. everything got installed without problems | 15:17 |
| earthian | also I am on acer aspire one | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthian, When are you getting this error, has this system ever run since install etc | 15:17 |
| earthian | yes | 15:18 |
| earthian | its running.. | 15:18 |
| Pici | ardchoille: Right click, customize and just drag it off | 15:18 |
| xun | nibbler_, hmmm... will there still be a security risk even if I've "denied" all write privilege for the account? | 15:18 |
| xun | "anonymous" actually | 15:18 |
| ardchoille | Pici: it doesn't stick that way between firefox launches, the google searchbar returns on its own | 15:18 |
| earthian | everything seems ok with the system. it happens only once each start at around 500 seconds after start as provided in there pastebin | 15:18 |
| AMDMutant | you cant access dir if it isn't +x | 15:18 |
| wobbiebobbie | I install a antivirus because I switch between windows and linux | 15:18 |
| Pici | ardchoille: Hrm. Thats a bug then. | 15:19 |
| onetinsoldier | Pici: perhaps, but this is what grobda24 asked for ---> how can I hide everything in that directory from non root users ?? | 15:19 |
| nibbler_ | xun: only if users could create their own symlinks, maybe even lokal users, and access them via ftp with root privilegs then maybe.... | 15:19 |
| ardchoille | Pici: ah, I thought so | 15:19 |
| onetinsoldier | Pici: ok, anyway, i think what he might want is 0700 | 15:19 |
| xun | nibbler_, then I'm fine I think. this is just for "anonymous" account. there is no other privileges than "read". thanks for the heads up though | 15:20 |
| onetinsoldier | Pici: which is rwx for root only | 15:20 |
| mohbana_ | how do i switch to su in ubuntu? not sudo <command> | 15:20 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: i think your going to want 0700... chmod 0700 <dir> ...that owuld be read, write, and execute for owner only. is that what you want? | 15:21 |
| kerstin | Hey its me again | 15:21 |
| olegb | mohbana_: sudo su | 15:21 |
| mohbana_ | thanks | 15:21 |
| kerstin | how can I force a higher resolution than i can see in the ubuntu interface? | 15:22 |

| kerstin | eehm sorry whats up? | 15:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leon, you can copy that section and duplicate it and that way still have your original option on boot or just make that change | 15:28 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: i am reluctant tohelp with a mach64, however.... imightbe ableto help you get a full xorg.conf file for vesa driver. then you have a full file to work with from there. such as adding in the driver line that specifies what video driver to use for the mach64 | 15:28 |
| onetinsoldier | i might be* | 15:28 |
| grobda24 | onetinsoldier, tried all that. I can still see files in that directory as normal user. Trying to hide dir from disk usage analyser. | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leon, you would copy a section from title to the end of initrd and duplicate the entry for testing | 15:28 |
| kerstin | Ok that soudns good | 15:28 |
| kerstin | but is there any driver to use but the vesa one? | 15:29 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: do this util rn as root? | 15:29 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: do this util run as root? | 15:29 |
| leon | OK, I BOOT MACHINE NOW, PLS WAITING 4 ME | 15:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leon, or just remove those two words and save the file | 15:29 |
| grobda24 | onetinsoldier, no | 15:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leon, yes I will be here finishing coffee | 15:29 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: chmod 0600 didn't even hide it? | 15:29 |
| ardchoille | Pici: purging the ubufox package solved the problem :) | 15:29 |
| onetinsoldier | grobda24: ok, hang on | 15:30 |

| onetinsoldier | grobda24: wubi! bah.. there's you problem i think | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24, Please read the faq on wubi and understand the differences between that and a normal install of ubuntu | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oneseventeen|afk, agreed | 15:31 |

| onetinsoldier | kerstin: ok, not what i have for you takes several steps, ok? shouldn't be too had to follow my instructions though. ready? | 15:34 |

| leon | Jack_Sparrow, network interface congfig will take 1 minute! | 15:34 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: ok, here they come... | 15:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leon, I wont be of much help with that issue, sounds like a marginally supported wireless card.. | 15:35 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: 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 (for example --> 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) | 15:35 |
| littlefish | i see my classmate's Opensolaris OS.it is more beautiful, | 15:35 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: 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 | 15:35 |
| kke_ | onetinsoldier: isn't xorg configless these days? | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | littlefish, Please refer back to my earlier comment on the purpose of this channel | 15:36 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: copy and paste all that into a file on your hard drive and save it | 15:36 |

| kerstin | onetinsoldier: okay | 15:36 |
| onetinsoldier | kke_: sadly, no.. not in most cases | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leon, so you will need to live with the extra boot up minute | 15:36 |
| leon | Jack_Sparrow, it is nomally? | 15:37 |
| onetinsoldier | kke_: at least not for most people tha claim to have an empty looking xorg.conf file, sauch as kerstin said he had earlier, like 10 minutes ago | 15:37 |

| Kira[work] | unop_ is that supposed to include name servers added using the "dns-nameservers" directive in /etc/network/interfaces? | 15:48 |
| unop_ | Kira[work], yes | 15:48 |
| hurleyy | it possible create server stream mms:// in linux? | 15:48 |
| unop_ | Kira[work], assuming dns-nameservers is the right name for the directive there | 15:48 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: yeah, i don't know for sure... post your problem description all on one single line and include pastebin url's of both your xorg.conf file and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file in the line | 15:49 |
| Kira[work] | unop_ that's the problem, the dns-nameservers directive has never been officially documented, though it appears rather a lot in google search results. | 15:49 |

| lakcaj | jtaji, looks like I can do it for security update... better than nothing. Thanks. | 16:03 |
| Aeonis | and installed software? | 16:03 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: you're welcome... good luck | 16:03 |
| kerstin | another question: If i bought a enw motherboard (along with a fitting new grafics card) will i have to reinstall my ubuntu or will it work just fine when i atatch the hard drive to the new system? | 16:03 |
| bazhang | Aeonis, from which version | 16:03 |
| AlveKatt | bazhang: Ok, might take a few minutes. Can't open add remove programs because of this, so I couldn't install x-chat... Ircing from another laptop next to it. | 16:03 |
| shiMMer | Jack_Sparrow::how i can know what must i write on source section in kismet?? | 16:03 |
| Aeonis | bazhang: 8.04. | 16:03 |
| jtaji | lakcaj: I'm not sure if they really mean only security updates there, or it also includes whatever is checked up top, if you want to do it the manual method check here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/keeping-safe/C/updates.html | 16:04 |
| bazhang | Aeonis, you have any 3rd party repos in there | 16:04 |
| Aeonis | And files...we have all of our baby pics on here and I can back them up, but I'd rather not have to. | 16:04 |
| jtaji | lakcaj: sorry wrong link https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html | 16:04 |
| Aeonis | I think I do for Audacity, but I can remove it... | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shiMMer, Why ask me.. I know nothing of kismet (linux) | 16:04 |
| Aeonis | I'm not sure how to tell which are 3rd party though bazhang. I'm rather new. | 16:04 |
| bazhang | Aeonis, as always back up first | 16:04 |
| lakcaj | jtaji, cool, thanks! | 16:04 |
| bazhang | Aeonis, paste.ubuntu.com with sources.list | 16:05 |
| shiMMer | where can i get answer for kismet?? | 16:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aeonis, No backups of baby pics ... I should boot you out just for that.. :) | 16:05 |
| OsamaK | Hello, I have 250GB Hard-Disk on my laptop, I tried Ubuntu 8.10 at it took so long time on the partitioner and stay on 0% (about 15 minutes), I'm trying Kubuntu and I have the same problem, is this normal | 16:05 |
| Aeonis | Well, they're on the camera Jack_Sparrow and I have them, but my externals are all having problems and I have DVD's but no dvd burners | 16:05 |
| Aeonis | I'm trying to get to my sources.list bazhang. This comp has been running a little slow. | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aeonis, Ok, at least you have another copy and you are not risking your masters | 16:06 |
| imaginent | OsamaK: have you checked if your disc is good? | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aeonis, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 16:06 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: new hard drive? well, you'd have to transfer over ubuntu to the brand new hard drive or install it on the new hard drive from scratch. see the 'dd' command to or search google for Unix Ghost to image one hard drive to another | 16:07 |
| Aeonis | What's that do Jack_Sparrow? | 16:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aeonis, takes your sources list and sticks it into the pastebin and gives you a web link to give to us | 16:07 |

| onetinsoldier | kerstin: ok, my bad. yeah, hsould work actually. biggest issue at first might be the UUID of the hard drive in the new system for 'grub'. | 16:10 |

| johnzorn | I can't resolve any names, altho I can work with ips such as connecting to freenode by ip. when I connect to the net in dmesg the last msg is eth1: no IPv6 routers present can this be the problem? | 16:12 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: you're welcome. now that i think of it, the UUID of the drive and all it's partitions might change when put into a new system. however, the old /dev/sdaXX is still supported rather than using UUID's. | 16:12 |

| Jack_Sparrow | oneseventeen|afk, Gimme a brief description.. it looks like the monitor res is not getting picked up. that xorg did not have v/h ratges etc | 16:14 |
| onetinsoldier | kerstin: state your problem description again... | 16:14 |
| Kingsy-eee | Jack_Sparrow - thats not what I was askin, I installed it fine but it seems to have taken up 3GB of space.. that cant be right | 16:15 |
| kerstin | I am using ubuntu 8.10 and i have a ATI Technologies Inc 215CT [Mach64 CT] - the available screen sizes are too tiny (800x600) and i cannot select any higher. xorg log: http://pastebin.com/mb100c3e xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m5cf9b147 | 16:15 |
| Cadman21 | Jack_sparrow: I was watching a movie in full screen and when I came out of full screen thats when I noticed it was not there. | 16:15 |
| bazhang | AlveKatt, where did you get that package | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kingfishr, I was trying to politely let you know that this is ubuntu support.. and that eeepc has other specific support | 16:16 |
| Cadman21 | jack_sparrow; since then I have rebooted and its still not there | 16:16 |
| marry | hello.. I can't delete a folder in my pen drive.. does this has anything to do with ubuntu? | 16:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cadman21, try changing screen res and see if it is hiding off the top | 16:16 |
| Cadman21 | ok | 16:17 |
| ardchoille | Jack_Sparrow: I would think the window manager would fix that type of issue | 16:17 |
| imaginent | marry: Have you checked the permission on the files you want to delete? | 16:17 |
| Kingsy-eee | Jack_Sparrow - sorry, thanks, its just I have read through a few things and nothing really explains why its taken so much room, do you know a good way of finding out whats taking up the space and ultimatly freeing it up? | 16:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ardchoille, You would think so.. | 16:17 |
| bazhang | Kingsy-eee, that is about right for an eeepc | 16:17 |
| marry | imaginent : yes I have. for some reason Its the same even when I modify it.. | 16:18 |
| Kingsy-eee | ah right ok, 3GB just seemed a bit large | 16:18 |
| schone | whats the best ftp server for ubuntu | 16:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kingsy-eee, see how big /var/cache/apt/archives is | 16:18 |
| bazhang | Kingsy-eee, get an external usb key and you wont notice the difference :) | 16:18 |
| bazhang | schone, ask in #ubuntu-bots | 16:19 |
| Cadman21 | Jack_sparrow: I have always used GUI to reset my res. how can I reset it using the terminal? | 16:19 |

| marry | imaginent : sorry I am not so good with console commands, can ya tell me what exactly to type? lol | 16:19 |
| bazhang | Kingsy-eee, either hold your files (media etc there) or install to it and leave the main disk alone | 16:19 |

| OsamaK | So, somehow yeah. Jack_Sparrow | 16:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kingsy-eee: you ust have the one w/ a 4gig hard drive if you're fretting about this. | 16:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OsamaK, did you defrag twice and how much free space is on the drive being resized, that process can take hours.. | 16:21 |

| kelvin911 | stuffs from 2007 is still new to me | 17:01 |

| kelvin911 | but the usb mem sticks out | 17:04 |

The goal is (I think) to have my default route on my laptop pointed so traffic goes through my home server. What tools should I play with to get this t | 18:48 |

| pengwyn | hrehf, CVS? | 18:51 |
| Flare183 | !cvs | pengwyn | 18:51 |
| ubottu | pengwyn: cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ | 18:51 |
| fustrated | nathan__: logg out and under options pick kubuntu.. YOu have to download it first though | 18:51 |
| Flare183 | nathan__: yeap | 18:51 |
| Flare183 | !kubuntu | nathan__ | 18:51 |
| ubottu | nathan__: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 18:51 |
| Flare183 | I used Kubuntu for like 2 years | 18:51 |

| hrehf | pengwyn: what? :( there's actually other erros in the main class, but the package won't magically appear when i fix those | 18:52 |
| nathan__ | Flare183, is there a command i can type into the terminal to make the switch? | 18:53 |
| hspaans | mrox: short answer is no, long answer is maybe with windows in virtualbox | 18:53 |
| kelly_ | hi, f-spot won't import any of my photos either directly from my camera, or from a local copy on the hard drive. | 18:53 |

| kelly_ | ardchoille, will it dump them into f-spot's directories and database? | 18:54 |

| ubottu | byteme__: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 18:57 |

| nathan__ | fustrated, one other question if i wanted to upgrade to 8.10 instead of 8.04 how would i do that | 18:58 |
| hrehf | pengwyn: lol. do you actually write what i say? did you EVER compile java? your comments only waste more of my time, it seems | 18:58 |
| hrehf | write = read :) | 18:58 |
| axisys | actually i dont like g4u for what I want.. i want to have a background backup every weekday as soon as I dock my laptop at work.. | 18:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nathan__, You must follow each upgrade, dont skip// | 18:59 |
| onetinsoldier | nathan__: 'instead'? what are you currently running? | 18:59 |
| axisys | rsync might be the way.. but still looking for other suggestions.. | 18:59 |
| nathan__ | oneseventeen|afk, 8.04 ubuntu | 18:59 |
| axisys | it is to backup data.. not OS | 18:59 |
| carajean | Flare183 if I cant see it anywhere even in media where do i go from there? | 18:59 |
| axisys | i shd have mentioned earlier | 18:59 |
| Jeruvy | axisys: rsync is a very reliable means to backup, but it's not a 'forget' solution. | 19:00 |
| tremby | is there a way to find out what motherboard i have, and how many memory modules/how many free slots i have, from the command line? | 19:00 |
| tonsofpc1 | hmmm... is there any way I can simply set a solid colored background? [gnome on 8.10 Intrepid Ibex] I see color settings but they don't do anything as an image is selected... | 19:00 |
| onetinsoldier | nathan__: ok, i missed what it is you were originally think of upgrading to then. what would that have been? | 19:00 |
| musikgoat|main | axisys: unison is a gtk front end that uses rsync and works well for synchronizing files to multiple places | 19:00 |
| onetinsoldier | !upgrade | 19:01 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 19:01 |

| usser | FisherPrice, open synaptic make sure u have 2.6.27 installed then reboot into that one | 19:08 |
| jadedoto | FisherPrice: The kernel headers were moved around, because the nvidia installer works fine on 2.6.27.x but not on 2.6.28.x yet... probably the same problem you're having | 19:09 |
| tonsofpc1 | akahige1: are/were you running the nvidia drivers? same version? how did you 'upgrae' ? | 19:09 |
| hurleyy | any help???? | 19:09 |

| alphaakenny1 | abhishek go to system-->administration-->login window | 19:16 |
| musikgoat|main | jordo2323: you could add umask=077 option | 19:16 |
| alphaakenny1 | did you install it using a ndiswrapper | 19:16 |
| bashca | joaopinto, i did but stile need help | 19:16 |
| jordo2323 | musikgoat|main, where in the line though in fstab? | 19:16 |
| musikgoat|main | jordo2323: but i dont know if that will help, you cannot chmod a fat32 drive | 19:16 |

| jordo2323 | musikgoat|main, now I can't view it at all | 19:19 |
| musikgoat|main | jordo2323: then remove ;-) | 19:20 |
| jordo2323 | musikgoat|main, already did, any other ideas? | 19:20 |
| musikgoat|main | what are the permissions for /media/MEDIA | 19:21 |
| tonsofpc1 | akahige1: you sure it was -generic and not -rt or -lowlatency or one of those? | 19:21 |
| n8tuser | tesseracter-> before you upgrade, are you sure? can yo try perhaps using another partition just for 8.10 and reuse same /home on it from the old 7.10 ? | 19:21 |
| akahige1 | tonsofpc1: I've only ever run the generics | 19:21 |
| jordo2323 | musikgoat|main, drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 16384 1969-12-31 18:00 MEDIA | 19:21 |
| n8tuser | tesseracter-> you may find that 8.10 has issues and there are no way to drop back | 19:21 |
| tonsofpc1 | akahige1: i suppose its possible that it's a kernel difference then | 19:22 |
| grizlo42 | hi | 19:22 |
| tonsofpc1 | are there any major differences in your x configs? | 19:22 |
| naftilos76 | Hi everybody and merry christmas! I've got an old laptop with a 15" tft having 1400x1050 as its' native resolution. The most i can get out of it is 1152x864! I tried to edit the ~/.config/monitors.xml but no luck...Shall i go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Any other ideas? | 19:22 |
| CaptWho | is there a sysinstall prog that i can run from the shell? | 19:22 |
| grizlo42 | i just got a 530N from Dell with 24 inch HD monitor, but it doesn't seem like its hd........ | 19:22 |
| musikgoat|main | jordo2323: hmm, so only root can write, test with sudo touch /media/MEDIA/testfile | 19:22 |
| adityag | i want to play *.avi files, but i see scrambled video when i open it in movie player or MPlayer, do i need to install any additional codec for it ??? | 19:23 |
| akahige1 | tonsofpc1: I filed a bug against xorg (since it drives the cpu load over 75% when I'm doing anything), but it's marked undecided. was reading on /. that the new kernel has a bunch of video optimization stuff in it, and had the thought that perhaps xorg isn't at fault here. was hoping to get a more informed opinion on that... :) | 19:23 |

| qbmaniac_work1 | if I overwrite the MBR installing windows on another partition | 19:24 |
| musikgoat|main | jordo2323: i would unmount (if needed), change ownership of the mount point (sudo chown user:group /media/MEDIA) to your user and group, then remount | 19:24 |
| alphaakenny1 | adityag-->get the bad, ugly, ffmpeg and the multiverse versions of the bad and ugly | 19:24 |

| FisherPrice | jadedoto: like this kernal issue | 19:30 |
| jadedoto | FisherPrice: Usually I just go back and just continue the upgrade | 19:30 |
| jordo2323 | musikgoat|main, your touch command before worked though....that file wrote... | 19:30 |
| musikgoat|main | yes, because only the owner can write, and its still owned by root... must be the mounting, i don't know if the user option works for vfat, but that is used when mounting smb and other filetypes. | 19:30 |
| Cakarakoo | naftilos76, C/C++ I have been using VIsual C + MFC in Win for 8 years | 19:30 |

| musikgoat|main | jordo2323: do you add sudo before mounting? | 19:31 |
| jadedoto | FisherPrice: The -d switch will put you up with Jaunty devel, so don't do the -d. | 19:31 |
| FisherPrice | kk | 19:31 |
| n8tuser | Cakarakoo-> eclipse with the c++ plugins | 19:32 |

| jadedoto | FisherPrice: Unless you want jaunty-devel.... but I couldn't get the nvidia drivers to work at all, the *.28 kernel completely redid the video system.... | 19:32 |
| jadedoto | FisherPrice: nvidia drivers should work with *.27 | 19:33 |
| Cakarakoo | naftilos76, ok, so I am not going to waste more time trying IDEs, just go with ANjunta | 19:33 |
| FisherPrice | kk | 19:33 |

| pygi | but I need it working on first install! | 19:34 |

| joaopinto | tech08, you can enable the partner repository on your software sources and install the adobe version | 20:05 |
| ardchoille | tech08: the nonfree flash package in the repos hasn't given me any problems yet on 11 computers :) | 20:06 |
| tech08 | so? sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? | 20:06 |

| C0p3rn1c | ardchoille: ok thx, I'll try | 20:11 |

| ardchoille | Letter_Z: [12:24] <Letter_Z> What is the default location of KDE libraries in Ubuntu 8.04? <-- sorry, looked like it to me | 20:25 |
| Letter_Z | ardchoille, I am asking where the KDE libraries in UBUNTU are, the libraries that came pre-packaged with ubuntu | 20:25 |
| Fezzler | Trying to run program with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox:. ./program" How do I confirm if that is the correct path to firefox | 20:26 |
| ardchoille | Letter_Z: oh, I didn't think there were any | 20:26 |
| Letter_Z | Well, I've been running KDE programs with no effort and I didn't install KDE | 20:26 |
| === Jonny is now known as WedgeEPL | ||
| Fezzler | Plus what does the ":." mean after "firefox" | 20:26 |
| C0p3rn1c | ardchoille: I tried the 96 driver + sudo nvidia-xorgconfig, it updated my xorg but I still get low graphics mode | 20:27 |
| ardchoille | Letter_Z: something doesn't sound right about that | 20:27 |
| nbeebo | can i use wubi even thought windows's internet doesnt work? | 20:27 |
| angasule | Fezzler: I think the : is the path separator | 20:27 |
| DVA5912 | nbeebo: yes | 20:27 |
| ardchoille | C0p3rn1c: you mean the 93 driver? | 20:27 |
| nbeebo | DVA5912, thanks ill try | 20:27 |
| C0p3rn1c | ardchoille: I think it was the 96 | 20:27 |
| Letter_Z | ardchoille, I've been using Amarok, KDEGames and other KDE stuff with no problem and I never downloaded KDE, not to mention that KDE is in the repositories | 20:28 |
| ardchoille | C0p3rn1c: ah, you're right, it's 96: nvidia-glx-96 | 20:28 |
| Letter_Z | But what I'm really asking is, what is the defualt directory for libraries in Ubuntu? | 20:28 |
| angasule | Letter_Z: /usr/lib :) | 20:28 |

| vermont | I don't have a disc ripper in my sound/video menu...I don't know what happened to it...what's the program name so I can "apt-get" it? | 20:30 |
| tech08 | ardchoille: do you think it could be from newest nvidia drivers? | 20:30 |
| scoler | y i can't install wine in ubuntu intrepid | 20:30 |
| scoler | .. | 20:30 |
| ardchoille | tech08: actually I think it depends on a lot of things (like how many other people are downloading the same file, your connection, etc) I've seen video vary widely depending on the site | 20:31 |
| ardchoille | !wine | scoler | 20:31 |

| tech08 | ardchoille: it none of the above its all linux. Windows doesn't give me a bit of problem with flash videos.. I have broadband a fast pc, so its something dealing with linux | 20:32 |
| brohken | is there a command to just turn off bluetooth? i guess i can add that to my .profile | 20:32 |
| ardchoille | tech08: ok | 20:32 |
| tech08 | ardchoille: do google search and talking about youtube or flash videos, you will find 10000 of responses | 20:32 |
| tech08 | but no fixes | 20:32 |
| vermont | what's a cd ripper program? there is no longer one in my sound video menu...I'm not sure why | 20:32 |
| ardchoille | waltereo: in the 3 years I have been running Ubuntu exclusivelu, I've not seen that problem | 20:33 |
| angasule | tech08: actually, it's about adobe... | 20:33 |

| bastid_raZor | C0p3rn1c; use the legacy driver or enable the restricted drivers.. nearly all nVidia cards work | 20:34 |
| angasule | waltereo: did you uninstall debconf-i18n ? | 20:34 |
| angasule | or perl? | 20:34 |
| ardchoille | waltereo: I'm curious about something, can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 20:34 |
| C0p3rn1c | bastid_raZor: I tried all drivers using the "hardware drivers" tool | 20:35 |
| tech08 | angasule: okay, but some can get it working fine while others can't? Whats the fix? | 20:35 |
| vermont | so, nobody here has ever ripped a CD in Ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| svcd | sure | 20:35 |
| ardchoille | vermont: music cd? | 20:35 |
| svcd | sure | 20:35 |
| vermont | yes, ardchoille | 20:35 |
| C0p3rn1c | bastid_raZor: olmost all of them, I tried the 96,173,177 | 20:35 |
| angasule | tech08: the only sure fix is to not use flash, since adobe can't make it work well. I use youtube-dl to download youtube videos, then watch them with VLC, for example | 20:36 |
| Mike_92 | Can someone please upload the Glossy theme that comes with hardy, mine was somehow messed up. | 20:36 |
| ardchoille | vermont: I use grip for ripping tacks, you'll need grip and lame both are in the repos | 20:36 |

| Joeseph | n8tuser: I think I found part of the problem... "Please note, the default location for the kernel, according to the driver, is /usr/src/linux." and mine is just /usr/src/ ..... | 20:56 |
| bashca | i just want know what G10 is ?? | 20:56 |
| ameed | C0p3rn1c: Thanks alot | 20:56 |
| n8tuser | bashca-> cat /etc/group to get yourself familiarized, and man usermod | 20:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | bastid_raZor: ok thanks, I'll maybe try that later | 20:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | ameed: you're welcome | 20:56 |

| Torrential | I'm having a bit of trouble launching the latest 64-bit desktop edition of Ubuntu on my Dell XPS M1530 laptop. I put the disc in, it loads the boot screen, I say to launch without affecting the hard drive(I already have Ubuntu installed on a partition but I need to rewrite grub to my MBR so I can use it, I dual-boot Windows) and then it just repeats 'EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with | 20:57 |
| Torrential | ordered | 20:57 |
| Torrential | data mode.' without ever getting past this. | 20:57 |
| ameed | sinbox: are you available ? | 20:57 |
| bastid_raZor | C0p3rn1c; at the end of that guide it suggests envyNG as a last alternative. it is odd that nVidia is having issues. nVidia seems to have excellent driver support. (or so i thought) | 20:57 |

| Joeseph | Does anyone else know of a way to install logitech quickCam connect e 2500 drivers for ubuntu | 20:58 |

| Torrential | Is there some special boot parameter I need to pass for the Ubuntu live-cd to load up on a Dell XPS M1530? A while ago when I installed it, the 8.04 version worked but the 8.10 version does not. | 21:00 |
| mike1504 | Help anyone my gnome desktop is super slow in super user mode. gksu gedit or gksu nautilus are so slow a snail would beat them by a mile. In normal user mode both seem to work fine | 21:01 |

| DVA5912 | Is their a graphical interface to LCD proc? IM used to LCD smartie | 21:02 |
| ameed | sinbox: i just found out that my Dell D830 is 64 bit | 21:02 |
| Torrential | Nobody have any idea why Ubuntu's live-cd would fail to load with the error message EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with | 21:03 |
| Torrential | ordered | 21:03 |
| Torrential | data mode. Commit interval 5 secs. and just repeat this over and over? | 21:03 |
| ameed | sinbox, does this mean i cannot install a 32 bit version ? | 21:03 |
| sinbox | maybe it's something to do with how your SATA controller is setup in the BIOS ameed , you can install a 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine | 21:03 |

| Sarai | I tried restarting, and reinstalling it | 21:10 |
| sinbox | bashca why did you issue that command in the first place and what did it do? | 21:10 |
| ubuntoil | zoed: yeah I found that, but is it reliable ? | 21:10 |
| ameed | sinbox: thanks | 21:10 |
| TwoD | anthony_: open up? As in allow FTP:ing to that folder? | 21:10 |
| zoed | ubuntoil: no idea | 21:10 |
| zoed | I use gnome myself. | 21:10 |
| anthony_ | I guess, just be able to upload HTML files | 21:10 |
| anthony_ | I cannot SCP from my PC to the WWW directory | 21:11 |
| ubuntoil | zoed: why, the hell did they choose kde4 ..? | 21:11 |

| peniel | hi usser | 21:13 |
| anthony_ | now, how do I get to #lamp room? | 21:13 |
| TwoD | anthony_: maybe there's a permissions problem. /var/www is owned by root, but you can do like I did and put a symlink in there to your home folder, or just change owner/rights on it. | 21:13 |

| billybigrigger | how do i run an .sh script? sh blah.sh or ./blah.sh??? | 21:26 |
| Ryou | hi, i can't access the ubuntu forums?? | 21:26 |
| Joeseph | Sorry, does anyone know what "you need to install the Kernel Source for your running kernel" even means? | 21:27 |
| ardchoille | Joeseph: are you trying to install vifeo drivers? | 21:28 |
| ardchoille | *video | 21:28 |
| EightEleven | Joeseph: You can install the kernel source just like you install other packages. | 21:29 |
| Joeseph | ardchoille: I believe I am trying to install gspca drivers for a logitech quickcam e 2500 | 21:29 |
| ardchoille | Joeseph: ah, ok | 21:29 |
| Joeseph | EightEleven: Do I need to install my kernel source ? If so, how do I do that? | 21:29 |
| EightEleven | Joeseph: You know how to install packages with synaptic? | 21:29 |
| unop_ | billybigrigger, the latter way is safer | 21:29 |
| Joeseph | EightEleven: yes I do. sudo apt-get install.... etc. | 21:30 |
| bonhoffer | xpdf is killing me, i just want to select text from a pdf -- is there a better app on ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | Could I get a little help with a Remote desktop connection? | 21:30 |
| EightEleven | Joeseph; Ok, then just search for a package with kernel and source in the description. | 21:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Joeseph: To build/install an out-of-tree kernel module, you *only* need the kernel headers, which should already be installed. | 21:30 |
| ardchoille | bonhoffer: evince | 21:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong | 21:30 |
| Ryou | does http://www.ubuntuforums.org work for ne1 else | 21:30 |
| unop_ | bonhoffer, there's evince .. and there's acroread from medibuntu | 21:30 |
| Joeseph | IntuitiveNipple: So you're saying I shouldn't need to install the source? | 21:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Ryou: There's a problem at the moment, I believe | 21:31 |
| Joeseph | IntuitiveNipple: How can I make sure my headers are installed? | 21:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Joeseph: If you only want to build the gspca module, you only need the kernel headers. | 21:31 |
| sinbox | Ryou works for me. Is your acces point maybe set to onl;y allow cetain machines to connect rather than the other way around? | 21:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Joeseph: Try this: dpkg-query -l 'linux-headers*' | 21:32 |
| billybigrigger | unop_, ok im trying to run ./windowed_1024x768.sh and its giving me an error ./windowed_1024x768.sh: 13: ./bin/main_x86: not found but the /bin/main_x86 exists | 21:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Ryou: There are proxy errors right now for ubuntuforums | 21:32 |
| streenz | I've heard XFCE is "faster" than Gnome, yet on my netbook (1.6ghz Atom CPU, 1.5g ram) they both seem to run the same speed... am I missing something here, or would XFCE only be faster if my RAM usage was lower? | 21:32 |
| billybigrigger | unop_, its a graphics rendering from unigine.com im trying to stress test my cpu's gpu's | 21:32 |
| bonhoffer | unop_, good text copying in those? | 21:32 |
| streenz | er .. higher % used | 21:32 |
| Joeseph | IntuitiveNipple: It seems to say that I don't have them installed. which ones do I install though? | 21:33 |
| unop_ | !kernel source | Joeseph | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Joeseph: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 21:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Joeseph: Do none of them show "ii" in the first column? | 21:33 |
| unop_ | billybigrigger, ./bin/main_x86 is not /bin/main_x86 | 21:33 |
| Steff | Hi guys.. | 21:33 |
| billybigrigger | so should i edit the script and remove the . | 21:33 |
| billybigrigger | ? | 21:33 |
| sinbox | streenz, apparently it is faster on most machines but not all, you could always try a window manager insterad of a full desktop for a greater speed gain | 21:34 |
| Joeseph | IntuitiveNipple: 5 of them show ii in the first column..... does that mean they are installed? | 21:34 |
| unop_ | billybigrigger, i dunno really - maybe you should find out if there's anything special to do before running the script or perhaps if the script is to be run a special way | 21:34 |
| billybigrigger | unop_, try removing the . in the ./bin/main_x86 line and its the same error, without the . | 21:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Joeseph: Yes | 21:34 |
| duffydack | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 21:34 |
| duffydack | oops, didnt see your post ubottu | 21:34 |
| Joeseph | IntuitiveNipple: I'll run the other apt-get for the linux-headers-'uname-r' and run it again to see what happens. | 21:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Joeseph: linux-headers are installed to match each kernel release update so it sounds like the PC has what it needs | 21:35 |
| linkmaster03 | how do I remove and reload a module? | 21:35 |
| streenz | sinbox, I've only ever used Gnome up til now.. would Xfce run faster if all the Gnome-related stuff was removed? ie. will it load/run faster in Xfce if Gnome packages arent installed or are they simply not used when Xfce is run | 21:35 |
| unop_ | bonhoffer, i know acroread lets you select and copy text - but it depends on the security set in the PDF itself | 21:35 |
| ardchoille | streenz: xfce does run much faster without all of the gnome stuff | 21:35 |
| allsystemsarego | linkmaster03, "modprobe -r module; modprobe module" | 21:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | linkmaster03: Assuming the module isn't 'in use', you can do "sudo modprobe -r modulename && sudo modprobe modulename" | 21:35 |
| ardchoille | streenz: also there are some really nice window managers available in the repos, fluxbox seems to be very popular and I like windowmaker | 21:36 |
| pyrophelia | does anybody know of any tools that would let me format a disk in ext4 yet? | 21:36 |
| ardchoille | isn't ext4 still beta? | 21:37 |
| pyrophelia | negative | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | ok | 21:37 |
| Joeseph | IntuitiveNipple: That apt-get seemed to get me past my first error, I'll keep working down and come back if I have more problems. | 21:37 |
| streenz | ardchoille, is there a way to remove all the Gnome packages and strip it down to just the basic ones needed for Xfce? | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | streenz: I'm sure there is, but I don't know how | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | !purexfce | 21:37 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 21:37 |
| sinbox | fluxbox is indeed very nice ardchoille I haven't tried windowmaker yet is it nice? | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | streenz: ah, loook what ubottu just posted | 21:38 |
| ardchoille | sinbox: windowmaker is my favorite, it mimics the NeXT look and feel | 21:38 |
| sinbox | yes there is streenz look on www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 21:38 |
| streenz | ardchoille, aha thats exactly what I was looking for | 21:38 |
| duffydack | you can format to ext4 now... | 21:39 |
| Paolo88 | hi | 21:39 |

| sinbox | is there a windowmaker channel on here ardchoille ? | 21:39 |
| sinbox | ah yes, found it :) | 21:39 |
| duffydack | have done it on a temp partition but cant see any benefit | 21:39 |
| Galaxor | Hello. Does anybody know where I can ask about xmame? #xmame and #mame don't seem to exist. I found a #mame channel using google, but it turned out to be a place where people broadcast about warez, not a discussion forum. | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | sinbox: I' don't know of one, but there is a nice website that explains some things: http://xwinman.org/ | 21:40 |
| jin | !java | 21:40 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | sinbox: idk | 21:41 |

| ardchoille | sinbox: thanks, I'll make note of that | 21:42 |
| radar1976 | I need an ssh shell for about 2 mins | 21:42 |
| neosimago | So overall, what's the consensus on 4 oh? | 21:42 |
| ardchoille | radar1976: this is not the place to solicit that kind of thing | 21:42 |
| radar1976 | I have locked myself out of my router at home but I'm not at home... | 21:42 |

| amnuci | hello ubunters >:D< | 21:43 |

| ardchoille | !ot | 21:43 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:43 |
| radar1976 | I need ssh so I can log into my ssh router as it is blocked my IP | 21:43 |
| pyrophelia | radar1976, in this channel, that's like asking to borrow a prepubescent boy while dressed in a priests outfit. | 21:43 |
| duffydack | get a new ip then... unless you have dedicated, doh | 21:44 |
| radar1976 | it some how thought that my PPTP was an attack and blocked everthing | 21:44 |
| duffydack | or, use TOR | 21:44 |
| radar1976 | a little hard when I'm 500Km away | 21:44 |

| ubottu | imaginativeone: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 21:46 |

| redvamp128 | quick question-- anyone had any issues installing and running ies4linux? 8.04 Ubuntu? | 22:13 |
| duffydack | redvamp128: yeah, it ran ie | 22:13 |
| D3RGPS31 | While I'm on linux my bandwidth is throttled & there are some sites that always time out; http://pastebin.com/mc0f103d has it in detail >.> | 22:13 |
| duffydack | like what ? | 22:14 |
| redvamp128 | no side effects? | 22:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | redvamp128, Last I heard #Winehq would not help you if you had used it. | 22:14 |
| redvamp128 | I have wine 1.1.10 | 22:14 |
| puppiesRcute | Any one know if i can recover my old install of ubuntu installed it to my new hdd and it will not load up the old install | 22:14 |
| redvamp128 | still waiting on 1.1.11 to show up on apt | 22:14 |
| duffydack | redvamp128: i run the stable wine from std repos | 22:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, boot a livecd and save your /home to a usb stick | 22:14 |
| duffydack | upto date wine from winehq might break stuff. | 22:14 |
| puppiesRcute | il try will a 8 gig be big enough | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, You can do it multipole times if not.. | 22:15 |
| duffydack | i`ll only use new wine`s if i have a prob with something.. try that | 22:15 |
| redvamp128 | I added the get current version -- just have to run a command to get it to release the wine and grab the new one | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, 8 should be, but only you know how much stuff you have.. 8 gig here would not hold my directory listing | 22:16 |
| hspaans | D3RGPS31: solves this your issue? : echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn | 22:16 |
| Stormcr0w_ | Hello all. I've just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and also installed the kubuntu-desktop packages. At the end of the installation it asked me which display manager I want to use and I selected kdm. After restarting, I logged back on to my Gnome session, but since then, the component with my name and log off/shutdown options on the top right-hand corner has disappeared. Any ideas? | 22:16 |
| puppiesRcute | k had so many problems didnt know where to start first accidentally deleted my windows then my bootloader then installed it again and it stopped my old install from even showing up im blond | 22:16 |
| Biovore | gnome logout only works with gdm | 22:16 |
| duffydack | Stormcr0w_: yeah, kdm is kde and gdm is gnome | 22:16 |
| === schooladmin is now known as radar1976 | ||
| D3RGPS31 | hspaans: 0 >.> | 22:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stormcr0w_, where you login under options you should be able to get back to gdm login | 22:17 |
| puppiesRcute | think i need a bigger flash drive i think my old install was 15 gig | 22:17 |
| Stormcr0w_ | Jack_Sparrow: I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 22:18 |
| nto | Hiya, I have a lot of rar files I wanna extract. Does anyone know how to write a bash command that'll let it execute unrar -x a001.rar to a060.rar? | 22:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, even if you take the 8 gig dump it into a diff machine and do it twice you will have saved your data | 22:18 |
| redvamp128 | sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 22:18 |
| duffydack | nto: sounds like they are part of a volume set.... | 22:18 |
| nto | duffydack: they're not. | 22:18 |
| redvamp128 | that is how you get back your gnome style login | 22:18 |
| stovicek | nto: rar x *.rar . | 22:18 |
| tripitakit | !cluster | 22:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cluster | 22:19 |
| Stormcr0w_ | Jack_Sparrow: But even after redefining the display manager back to gdm and restarting, when I log back on to GNOME, I still cannot see the missing component | 22:19 |
| hspaans | puppiesRcute: 64GB is becoming cheap | 22:19 |
| redvamp128 | I ran into that issue -- after installing Kubuntu-desktop | 22:19 |
| duffydack | Stormcr0w_: try adding it to the panel | 22:19 |
| puppiesRcute | that might work only prob is the other hdd its on wont let me access it because of permissions | 22:19 |
| nto | stovicek: I tried that but that makes unrar say "No files to extract" even though it finds the right archive. | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stormcr0w_, see hspaans info | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, permissions are not hard to get around since you have physical access | 22:20 |
| puppiesRcute | tried it this blonds stuck though got to read up on it more | 22:20 |
| tripitakit | which clustering fits wiht ubuntu? i've little experience with opnemosix and redhat... | 22:20 |
| puppiesRcute | tried every way to bypass them | 22:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, a dangerous command is gksudo nautilus.. it will let you do anything, even if it is wrong.. | 22:21 |
| Stormcr0w_ | Jack_Sparrow: Do you mean duffydack's? | 22:21 |
| redvamp128 | tried the selection of cmd prompt only -- safe repair mode only then try that command | 22:21 |
| Stormcr0w_ | duffydack: adding it to the panel? from where? | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stormcr0w_, yes | 22:21 |
| puppiesRcute | tried nautilus couldnt get it to work some error saying would always pop up | 22:21 |
| hspaans | Jack_Sparrow: me? | 22:21 |
| duffydack | try selecting all the rars and extract here | 22:22 |
| duffydack | works for me | 22:22 |
| nto | it's not what I'm looking for though | 22:22 |
| duffydack | i mean, i just tested it with 3 archives i made | 22:22 |
| nto | it'll make a lot of uneccessary directories | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | duffydack, I thought he was trying to write a script to do it.. and for that he should /j #BASH | 22:22 |
| sinbox | puppiesRcute, you tried changing the permissions from a live cd? | 22:22 |
| nto | it'll make a dir named a001 a002 and so on with the archive contents inside | 22:23 |
| puppiesRcute | but il try later all blows a kiss to every one for the help ;) | 22:23 |
| duffydack | well, when i extracted, there were not any dirs | 22:23 |
| meoblast001 | do i need to restart Ubuntu to start new kernel modules? | 22:23 |
| puppiesRcute | tried it all seems like im not good with computers its not my forte | 22:23 |
| nto | does your archives contain multiple files? | 22:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puppiesRcute, You will be fine, there is usually good help around | 22:23 |
| stovicek | nto: make sure you use x and not -x as the first is the extract command and second is an exclusion switch | 22:23 |
| Stormcr0w_ | redvamp128: How did you resolve this? | 22:23 |
| puppiesRcute | k i might be back later on most certain about it | 22:23 |
| duffydack | no just 1.. the same file, 3 times | 22:23 |
| nto | stovicek: aye, if I don't pass in a wildcard it works | 22:23 |
| nto | google tells me I'm not the only one having the problem | 22:24 |
| D3RGPS31 | While I'm on linux my bandwidth is throttled & there are some sites that always time out; http://pastebin.com/mc0f103d has it in detail; God, Zues, Linus, someone solve this :/ | 22:24 |

| D3RGPS31 | wired | 22:25 |
| D3RGPS31 | yes | 22:25 |

| ameed | sinbox: so you recommend i go for a ready mail server and pay for it instead of this correct ? | 22:32 |

| evans | hello, I have a few small, noobish questions about the handling of webcams in ubuntu | 22:33 |
| joaopinto | ameed, unless you are ready to deal with spam, you would be better server by using the google services | 22:33 |
| justizin | sinbox: we use mailman, there are many good f/oss solutions. i'm looking at moving to 'listen' which is more like a google / yahoo groups style solution, forum and ML hybrid. | 22:33 |

| luckyone | ameed: I installed postfix, dovecot, and postfix-admin pretty quickly | 22:33 |
| meoblast001 | i need some help recording my screen and having it be detected as a webcam.... how do i do this? | 22:34 |
| evans | doug3: http://www.eeebuntu.org/index.php?page=nbr | 22:34 |
| biggerfisch | evans: ask the questions then | 22:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ameed: Postfix is pretty useful and easy to manage if you use something like Webmin. Dovecot for IMAP/POP3, procmail for mail-sorting rules. | 22:34 |
| luckyone | ameed: you need to make sure you aren't running this off of a cable modem though you will get blocked | 22:34 |
| ameed | luckyone: does it have a web interface? | 22:34 |
| sinbox | I'll look into thos Justizin thanks | 22:34 |
| ozzloy | doug3: eeebuntu.org is based on 8.10 | 22:34 |
| luckyone | ameed: postfix-admin is the web interfac | 22:34 |
| ameed | how can i install it | 22:34 |
| === Brucee is now known as Bruce | ||
| justizin | ameed: i suggest learning to run a personal domain or something, you can get a vm around for like USD$20/mo now, don't risk disconnecting everyone at your company from their email. also, google hosted is free for up to 20 users or somewhat, and offers increased spam protection from postini for something like $6/user/year | 22:34 |
| luckyone | ameed: it is not just a install one package and you go | 22:35 |
| evans | biggerfish: i have a logitech easycam, it remains undetected by any means i can find, and i have no video0 folder | 22:35 |
| Brucevdk | Question, I have a couple of icons I want to install system wide but I want them to install into a seperate icon theme and not hicolor or gnome. At the moment I can only use the icons from that theme if I switch to it. Is it possible to make use it next to my current theme? | 22:35 |

| The_Joe_ | Can someone give me modelines for a standard CRT monitor? | 22:36 |
| Wobert | moijk, ty ftp.debian.org is standart ? | 22:36 |
| biggerfisch | evans: go to the ubuntu wiki ( wiki.ubuntu.com ) and search form "webcams". not all webcams are supported | 22:36 |
| Wobert | moijk, for ubuntu, i am having trouble upgrading from 7 -> 7.10 | 22:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_, You need to find ones for YOUR monitor, you can ruin a crt with the wrong rates. | 22:36 |
| justizin | ameed: read a tutorial on configuring it. it's not easy to do properly. if you don't want to pay a professional to run your mail system, and you don't know how, please don't make it easier for other people to spam the rest of us, and use a free service. ;) | 22:36 |
| justizin | an improperly configured mail system is like an unlocked gun case | 22:37 |
| The_Joe_ | Jack_Sparrow, I know they work - I had them before I reinstalled just now, I seem to have lost them | 22:37 |
| Daejeo | is there any list of compatible Bluetooth Dongles with CSR chip for ubuntu ? | 22:37 |
| hansel | The_Joe - check this out... http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Linux+X+xorg.conf+mode+lines+CRT | 22:37 |
| luckyone | everyone, thoughts on ATI video cards in Ubuntu? are they still as painful as they used to be? | 22:37 |
| moijk | Wobert: no archives.ubuntu.com is on ubuntu | 22:37 |
| The_Joe_ | hansel, Thanks - I will | 22:37 |
| Juhaz | damading even remotely recent crt with wrong modes is highly unlikely, they all have protective electronics | 22:37 |
| moijk | wobert: and your favorite country prefix | 22:37 |
| ameed | hehe :) ok i was just trying to make a stable mail server for our domain ( telejood.com ) we are using communigate and we pay alot for hosting it , looking for a better cheaper solution | 22:38 |
| Juhaz | if it's a museum piece, though... | 22:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_, the point is, there is no one set for any monitor... and guessing with a crt can lead to disaster | 22:38 |
| The_Joe_ | Jack_Sparrow, The point is - they worked before | 22:38 |
| luckyone | ameed: build the server, it isn't hard | 22:38 |
| Wobert | moijk, nice, I am trying to use : sudo vim /ect/apt/sources.list | 22:38 |
| Wobert | moijk, but its empty ? | 22:38 |
| justizin | ameed: yah, i totally understand, which is why i asked how many users you have and if free hosting at google with IMAP and POP and Jabber for 20 people for free would suffice you. | 22:38 |
| hspaans | luckyone: there is a lot of progress for ati/amd support, see the x.org site for the latest details | 22:38 |
| justizin | if that wouldn't suffice you, we can have a longer conversation, but the answer to your original question is, "please, don't" ;) | 22:39 |
| Brucevdk | Nevermind, there's a GTK function to append directories to the search path instead | 22:39 |
| moijk | wobert: etc, not ect | 22:39 |
| ameed | justizin : we have about 30 users now | 22:39 |
| The_Joe_ | hansel, Oh... | 22:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Juhaz, I have seen a few of those museum pieces, expecially from old CAD schools and people still use them because they are big.. and free. | 22:39 |
| Wobert | moijk, lol my bad | 22:39 |
| justizin | get ameedisthebest.org and run your own personal email for a year, then tell me you want to deal with it for your company ;) | 22:39 |
| hansel | The_Joe - any time... any time... | 22:39 |
| CaptWho | say, what are the names of some national chains where i might be able to find a RJ-45 cable tester. I'm specifically in Madison Wisconsin and I'm not holding out hopes for Best Buy or Circuit City. something like Graybar would be nice,, but there's not one here. | 22:39 |
| The_Joe_ | hansel, Don't you think I'd search before asking? | 22:39 |
| Ryou | hi, how can i get ndiswrapper to load automatically at startup? | 22:40 |
| Juhaz | Jack_Sparrow, indeed they do. | 22:40 |
| hansel | The_Joe, are you insinuating google doesn't have the answer to this? | 22:40 |
| ameed | Ok , lets say i get the domain ameed.com what next do i do ? install postfix-admin and configure my domain etc.. and thats it ? | 22:40 |
| denny | ameed: I used fastmail.fm at a previous company, they seemed to have a fairly good service iirc | 22:40 |

| hansel | The_Joe - I will bet you $10,000 USD it does. | 22:40 |
| hansel | Give me the exact make and model of your CRT. | 22:40 |
| vermont | can anyone tell me how to convert .ogg files. Sound Converter won't do it. | 22:40 |
| The_Joe_ | hansel, Can't use dollars here | 22:40 |
| justizin | ameed: find a tutorial, there are a ton of considerations. your question reveals a lack of understanding about the underlying challenges. | 22:40 |
| === schooladmin is now known as radar1976 | ||
| The_Joe_ | hansel, I don't know - that's why I used standard modelines | 22:41 |
| justizin | like, you need to read about what this entails, and then come to us with a question other than "do i just install postfix and bada-bing, i'm in email?" the answer is, yes, probably, but you might also be a bad internet citizen, or have one of a thousand various problems an email system can have. | 22:41 |
| Slart | CaptWho: where in the world are you? I guess national chains isn't the same for you as it is for me =) | 22:41 |
| justizin | i totally encourage you to learn, just saying, you're basically asking us for permission, not information. do whatever you want, but inform yourself, please, before you open a relay that johnny spammer can use to drive up my bandwidth and hosting costs. ;) | 22:42 |
| T`2 | anyone know how to make audio from back ports work? i can only get it to work from the front ports on my PC | 22:42 |
| denny | T`2: in that case you almost certainly have a cable not connected inside your machine :) | 22:42 |
| denny | although usually that goes the other way around | 22:43 |
| ameed | justizin: Thanks alot guys , am new to Linux and trying to learn - am sorry if i was a pain :) | 22:43 |
| evans | Webcam problems, my webcam is detected, lsusb results in Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:08f6 Logitech, Inc. Quickcam Messenger Plus | 22:43 |
| T`2 | dennda, no its a HD audio card.. in windows i can select which ports to select output to | 22:43 |
| evans | but no programs see it | 22:43 |
| denny | do you know if the rear ports are directly on the motherboard, or mounted on an extender slot? | 22:43 |
| T`2 | denny* i mean | 22:43 |
| denny | ah, so the rear ports work in Windows? | 22:43 |
| T`2 | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller | 22:43 |
| T`2 | denny, yup | 22:43 |
| T`2 | denny, i see the read ports volume controls in ubuntu too.. but it seems like alsa is using the front ports PCM as default | 22:44 |
| T`2 | i dont know how to make alsa use the back ones as default | 22:44 |

| sinbox | The_Joe_, if it was working before look for some xorg.conf backup files there usually are a few | 22:46 |
| Daejeo | is there any list of compatible Bluetooth Dongles with CSR chip for ubuntu ? | 22:46 |
| The_Joe_ | sinbox, Yes - on a previous install | 22:46 |
| CaptWho | if someone had the names of some national chains, i could research them and find out if one is local | 22:47 |
| meoblast001 | Flash fails | 22:47 |
| justizin | also, if you're going to switch mail servers, plan in advance, drop your DNS TTL to 5min a week in advance for the MX and related records, and come up with a strategy for forwarding mail that may be misdelivered to the old system after the move. i had a client completely abandon a mail migration because they hired some idiots who basically deleted the CEO's mail and left everyone else without email for 2 days. | 22:47 |

| epona_ | justizin: there's nothing to do it automatically ? | 22:51 |
| epona_ | justizin: like a package to install | 22:51 |
| clouder`grr | How do I remove a specific user from the User Switch applet? | 22:51 |
| justizin | epona_: configuring something to do it automatically is more trouble than doing it by hand. google: ubuntu disk mount and then google later changing mount to automount ;) | 22:51 |
| justizin | you may even have an automounter configured, but, if it didn't work, there is a fail-safe means of mounting the volume, using the mount command, if you create a mountpoint manually, and figure out the device from dmesg. | 22:53 |

| justizin | mib_qsvzec: a VM? yes. can you use it on the local computer? no, you would need a graphical program to display the windows GUI, unless rdesktop has started to support framebuffer output. | 22:54 |
| mib_qsvzec | I just need to access it remotely | 22:54 |
| sidewalk | Jack_Sparrow: but is it also for eee boxes, not only the laptops? | 22:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mib_qsvzec, Try asking in offtopic.. | 22:56 |
| Fzang | is there any any difference between ubuntu and kubuntu, besides the desktop enviroment? Any at all? | 22:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fzang, that is quite a bit of diference... | 22:56 |
| ark_ | Fzang: The name? ;) | 22:56 |
| mib_qsvzec | ok how would I start the VM and route the remote desktop connection to it? | 22:56 |
| jim_p | Fzang, no . kde and gnome is their main difference, they are identical under the hood | 22:57 |
| bizkwet | hi, i have installed compiz fusion, checked some boxes, although i don't know how to know that it works :) | 22:57 |
| Fzang | so there's no hardware difference, package managing or anything? | 22:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bizkwet, ctrl - alt left mouse and move mouse | 22:57 |
| Fzang | hardware compatibility* | 22:57 |
| jim_p | bizkwet, grab a window from the title bar and bounce it around | 22:57 |
| justizin | mib_qsvzec: depends on the vm tech, typically with libvirt there is a vnc server on the host, somehow you can get that data. put it on the network for rdesktop. | 22:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fzang, there are few instances where one will work and the other wont on the same hardware | 22:57 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sidewalk, hope it helps.. | 22:58 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, what wont work on kde that will work on gnome? | 22:58 |
| justizin | virt-manager should be able to connect remotely mib_qsvzec and give you enough to get off the ground. | 22:58 |
| pikario | cool | 22:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Asterisky, I would assume it is possible, but out of the scope of ubuntu - support.. perhaps mythtv or one of those | 22:59 |
| * justizin has never heard of hardware running X, but not running a particular desktop environment, window manager, etc.. | 22:59 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, YOu would need to search the logs for people that had something work in one and not in the other.... like I said we see it occasionally but no rhyme or reason to it | 23:00 |
| Fzang | jim_p: gnome designed apps probably, I once couldn't get Ark to work in gnome | 23:00 |
| Fzang | or are we talking hardware? | 23:00 |

| __MAV | I cannot mount it's root filesystem from my Ubuntu | 23:08 |
| hikenboot | so all the desktop features such as adding compiz can be triggered as normal? | 23:08 |
| allquixotic | unop_ and hspaans: It lists two domains. It's relevant to mention that my situation is complicated by split tunneling on a VPN. I want to access certain sites inside the VPN over the VPN connection, and all other sites outside the VPN with my raw internet connection. That part works flawlessly; I've checked the routing by asking remote servers what my public IP is, and it indeed splits the tunneling fine. | 23:09 |
| sinbox | allquixotic, check opendns | 23:09 |
| jtaji | hikenboot: it will be the same except you will still have the server kernel, which is ok | 23:09 |
| allquixotic | unop_, hspaans: But my search domain lists first the VPN domain, followed by the NAT domain. Both the VPN's DNS server and my router's DNS are capable of public Internet access, and both are fast if you're directly connected to the respective network. | 23:09 |
| Watcht | hi all I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 and used a back up of /var/apt/cache/archive from my previous install to save bandwidth on not having to download em again, i got my packages back but it seems that synaptic shows what is in the archives rather than the repos i have enabled, (i did sudo apt-get update already ;) ) I can still install programs in cmd line but i cant see them in synaptic, anyone have any tips? | 23:09 |
| xurxod | ark_: all good. thank you. | 23:10 |
| unop_ | allquixotic, when you do nslookups against your primary DNS server - are responses fast? | 23:10 |
| __MAV | how can I determine the file system type if I cannot mount it? | 23:10 |

| allquixotic | unop_: What is the command line switch to tell nslookup which dns server to query? | 23:11 |
| hikenboot | one last question for the night how do i restart the restriced driver wizard again apparently it didnt install the best restricted driver out of the three available | 23:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Watcht: that is.... very interesting. perhaps it a gpg key thing? i mean, i don't know, i would have expected things to be all hunky-dory if i had done what you have | 23:12 |
| __MAV | /dev/sdb2: data | 23:12 |
| __MAV | /dev/sdb2 data | 23:12 |
| allquixotic | unop_: The man page is not very descriptive... a plain old `nslookup www.google.com` is slow, but it's not telling me which DNS server it used. | 23:12 |
| unop_ | allquixotic, in the nslookup shell .. server ns1.example.com | 23:12 |
| __MAV | not very informative | 23:12 |

| allquixotic | unop_, hspaans: Wow. In the nslookup shell I put in "server 192.168.1.1" (my NAT DNS) and even websites I haven't visited in forever are VERY fast. | 23:14 |
| jtaji | sinbox: links and lynx are different programs | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | !gksud | hagus | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gksud | 23:14 |
| hagus | What have I done to lose myself as root. | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | !gksu | hagus | 23:14 |
| ubottu | hagus: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | akorpija: use dd for a byte-by-byte copy | 23:14 |
| hagus | ty ardchoille :) | 23:14 |
| dgarr | hagus what does this say: ls -l $(which sudo) | 23:15 |
| hspaans | allquixotic: check you nsswitch.conf for errors | 23:15 |
| Watcht | onetinsoldier: i dunno i mean i have some of the regular repos like community and multiverse and nothing is showing up I'd think that would still show up without gpg keys | 23:15 |
| unop_ | allquixotic, ok, but what is your current primary DNS server? | 23:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | akorpija, a live cd and the dd command will handle it.. | 23:15 |
| hagus | ardchoille sounds like TopoftheForest to me :) | 23:15 |
| akorpija | IntuitiveNipple, i was looking at that but it seems quite extensive and i think i'd have to re-size these partitions, and it keeps the same UUID's so then i'd have to change those later on manually | 23:15 |
| allquixotic | unop_: my primary DNS server is on the NAT, I suppose, because it's the first entry in the list in /etc/resolv.conf -- right? | 23:15 |
| allquixotic | err | 23:15 |
| allquixotic | s/NAT/VPN | 23:15 |
| hagus | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115136 2008-09-01 14:17 /usr/bin/sudo | 23:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | akorpija, there is no way around dealing with uuids unless you are not trying to go to a bigger drive etc | 23:16 |
| sinbox | ok jtaji didn't know that :) (goes to check) | 23:16 |
| hagus | That's the output from what you said, dgarr. | 23:16 |
| tet3 | This: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#What%20should%20I%20choose%20-%2032%20or%2064%20bit? doesn't mention the AMD Turion 64 that's in ym laptop, but it should work, right? | 23:16 |
| onetinsoldier | Watcht: yeah, i don't know, keep asking. i would be interested in seeing if anyone knows what's up there. have you taken a checked out your /etc/apt/sources.list file and made sure it looks ok? | 23:16 |
| unop_ | allquixotic, that could be the problem - if the VPN DNS server is not set to resolve external domains, it could slow things down - is that the case? | 23:16 |
| jtaji | sinbox: also FYI links supports https and lynx does not last time I tried ;) | 23:16 |
| akorpija | Jack_Sparrow, yea hmph this'll be an annoying process heh thanks tho! | 23:16 |
| __MAV | Tried sudo vol_id --probe-all /dev/sdb2 but it gives no output at all | 23:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | akorpija: When I copy from one drive to another, I boot the LiveCD and dd from source to destination, then extend/expand partitions on the destination, then remove the source drive, and boot from the new larger drive | 23:17 |
| dgarr | hagus: somehow your sudo command is not longer setuid which would show -rwsr-xr-x | 23:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IntuitiveNipple, He's gone, but yes I agree. It isnt that hard to do | 23:17 |

| bullgard4 | What is the use of the program 'Autorun Prompt' = nautilus-autorun-software %u? | 23:19 |
| allquixotic | unop_: Whoa. Now we're getting somewhere! I'm getting a _timeout_ when I try to resolve any Internet-facing host using a VPN-provided DNS server that `vpnc` inserts into my /etc/resolv.conf. But when I ask the very same DNS server to resolve an internal DNS name inside the VPN's network, it's instantaneous. | 23:19 |

| allquixotic | unop_: So, to answer your question: Yes, the VPN DNS server is _not_ set to resolve external domains. It just times out. | 23:19 |

| __MAV | jut like DiskEditor from Norton Utilities | 23:21 |
| __MAV | or like so | 23:21 |
| allquixotic | unop_: It seems like if I ask my NAT's DNS to resolve something inside the VPN, I'm gonna get a timeout or error; and if I ask the VPN's DNS to resolve something outside the VPN, I'm gonna get a timeout or error. So I have to choose whether I want to wait for Internet DNS queries or VPN DNS queries?... | 23:21 |

| Tobberoth | Is it possible to change the language of Ubuntu to only affect the interface, not the terminal/keyboard etc? | 23:27 |
| anxiolytic | jim_p: Alright. Well the main problem is that I'm on a tight budget. I'm trying not to exceed $300 for CPU/RAM/Mobo and FHS. Right now I'm looking at no more than $100 for the mobo, and I'll meet the budget beautifully (with shipping) | 23:27 |

If you've read up much on the debate between root shell access and running 'sudo', you'd know that it can be argued both ways.

| Tenkawa | hansel: excellent.. thanks. much appreciated | 23:40 |
| alex_mayorga | only options I have now are memtest+ and XP | 23:40 |
| ZxPwn | it can't find it | 23:40 |
| asterslash | alex_mayorga, if you cant use supergrub | 23:40 |
| cn28h | alex_mayorga, booting from a livecd would be sufficient. From there you can mount your ubuntu install and edit the grub config | 23:40 |
| ZxPwn | what source is it in? | 23:40 |
| ZxPwn | i mean repo | 23:41 |
| Flannel | alex_mayorga: You only have windows and memtest? That is odd. Do you remember where your linux is (what partitions, etc)? We can do it from the grub menu. Actually, you'll likely need a liveCD anyway. | 23:41 |
| crashsystems | Does anyone know if it is possible to create a VM in VirtualBox on Ubuntu, and have that same VM available to each user? | 23:41 |

| hansel | asterslash: whats happening? | 23:42 |
| cn28h | alex_mayorga, just a regular livecd should work fine. Did you try mounting your ubuntu install and then looking at /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 23:42 |
| alex_mayorga | Flannel, ubuntu would be on hd0,1 can you help me boot from GRUB commandl please? | 23:42 |

| meoblast | cn28h: is what Xen | 23:45 |
| hansel | asterlash - how about the setting in Private Data? | 23:45 |
| cn28h | meoblast, was that with modprobe -r or rmmod? I like rmmod because it tells you what modules are blocking you from unloading something | 23:45 |
| hansel | down near the bottom of that configuration panel... | 23:45 |
| hansel | can you go to its details and make sure you dont clear them out? | 23:45 |

| meoblast | cn28h: same error for both | 23:46 |
| cn28h | k | 23:46 |
| Flannel | alex_mayorga: Alright. The only thing we need to know is which version kernel you've got. Which we can determine from within the grub menu. Reboot, and at the grub menu hit 'c' (to get to a grub console) | 23:46 |
| asterslash | hansel, clean personal settings not checked and ask before erase checked | 23:46 |
| Flannel | Joelito: There won't be a point release for 8.10, only LTS releases have point releases | 23:46 |

| alex_mayorga | Flannel, thanks, rebooting as of now, really appreciated | 23:46 |
| meoblast | cn28h: the main reason why is because i have to restart my comptuer everytime i want to run this specific script i have.. and i dont want to have to anymore | 23:46 |
| Joelito | Flannel: ow >.< thanks | 23:46 |
| _MAV | what parameter shuold I add to vmlinuz or whatever | 23:46 |

| meoblast | cn28h: the script works on /dev/video1 | 23:47 |

| _MAV | but i have no access to X servers configuration | 23:47 |
| sdlwof | http://pastebin.com/m13d8aff3 it's gotta be a USB driver problem.... | 23:47 |
| cn28h | meoblast, hm, you may have to close firefox then to unload the module | 23:48 |
| meoblast | cn28h: =( the script still keeps breaking | 23:48 |
| meoblast | cn28h: mjpegtools_yuv_to_v4l: failed to open output video device, aborting. | 23:48 |
| Flannel | alex_mayorga: Alright, type (no quotes) "null (hd0,1)/vml" and then hit tab, we need to know the version number after one of the vmlinuz- entries | 23:48 |
| cn28h | meoblast, did it work before? | 23:48 |
| ZxPwn | Err. What repo does "bridge-utils" come in? I can't install it! Just gives me can't find it | 23:48 |
| meoblast | cn28h: the only way i've found to get this to work is to restart my computer | 23:48 |
| cn28h | hm | 23:49 |
| meoblast | cn28h: yes it works.... only once per ubuntu session | 23:49 |
| ZxPwn | What repo is bridge-utils in guys? | 23:49 |

| cn28h | hm | 23:52 |
| levidos | Jack_Sparrow: the problem is hardware related, and I don't want to restart my computer every hour. any suggestions? | 23:53 |

| meoblast | why cant they make programs that do this for me | 23:53 |
| cn28h | meoblast, perhaps there's a cleaner way to make the recording end, rather than use SIGTERM? | 23:53 |

| Flannel | alex_mayorga: That's.... interesting. Certainly not good. You (apparently) don't have any kernels? Is there no liveCD (maybe not a recent one, but something ese) you could boot to, so we could see exactly what all is/isn't there? | 23:54 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | ta. | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | levidos, If you had not noticed, this is not windows. THere are many devices made just for windows that have no support in linux | 23:54 |
