| katafox | enerya i mean i clicked the icon with the two computers showing i'm connected and clicked "manual configuration" and set up my wireless and wired connection.... | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arthus, ctrl-alt F2 when you get a black screen, see if that open a text terminal | 00:19 |
| kupesoft | anyone running Ubuntu on an HP mini 1000? | 00:19 |

| arthus | Jack_Sparrow: I get a blank screen | 00:19 |
| thirdwheel | of ubuntu? I said Intrepid | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arthus, ctrl-alt F2 when you get a black screen, see if that open a text terminal | 00:19 |
| MatBoy | thirdwheel: uhm testing ? | 00:19 |
| * DVA5912 vm's windows | 00:19 | |
| x0r | zoor: now googling solution you (for interest) | 00:19 |
| thirdwheel | MatBoy, production version | 00:19 |
| enerya | katafox - ahh, bad bad, do not have both ethernet and wireless connected to same router at same time, only one at a time, your pc does not know which to take, wired or wireless | 00:19 |
| MatBoy | thirdwheel: I advise 8.04... installs better and no bugs | 00:20 |
| arthus | x0r: no error code, it hangs on "loading manual drivers" | 00:20 |
| katafox | so just disable the wired? | 00:20 |
| enerya | katafox - that is why it is confused.. | 00:20 |

| Firky | Jack_Sparrow, what are those ?? | 00:20 |
| nathanhelp | where do i find program files (eg where abouts would i look for a window asking for Pidgin). More helpful an answer would be... How is ubuntu directories structed compared to windows - c:\program files | 00:21 |
| zoor | x0r: I'm writing an error log on the ubuntu forum. Maybe someone recognize this. I've looked around but nothing is as crazy as my problem. But the last thing that should leave a person is hope :) | 00:21 |
| Ahadiel | nathanhelp, It's most likely /usr/bin/pidgin | 00:21 |
| MatBoy | thirdwheel: 8.10 kinda s*ck actually and has many bugs during the install | 00:21 |
| thirdwheel | nathanhelp, most programs install in either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Firky, alsa and pulseaudio are the two different types os sound architecture for a better choice of words. /#alsa has a channel and #pulseaudio I think has one | 00:21 |
| enerya | MatBoy - i second that! | 00:21 |
| x0r | zoor: I was just writing about that, that you could show the xorg.conf to us :) | 00:21 |
| MatBoy | enerya: yes we did before ;) | 00:21 |

| MatBoy | thirdwheel: good luck ! it will work :) | 00:23 |
| arthus | Jack_Sparrow: I hit the ctrl+alt+F2, it just goes into an extended boot process with a bunch of jibberish | 00:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zoor, nvidia and xinerama are a bad mix if you want to use effects | 00:23 |
| sfer21 | freq18hz: what do you need help with? | 00:23 |
| kaiser10123 | quest i am getting dell mini 9 in the morning i want to know is it possible to make my external harddrive be bootable with both the windowsxp install disk and the ubuntu live cd | 00:23 |
| asdffdsas | freq18hz, my advice, don't use synaptic unless you HAVE to... as you can break your ubuntu pretty severely with misuse | 00:23 |
| kaiser10123 | i want to use one external to install both without haveing to go change it to other after i install one? | 00:23 |
| freq18hz | Flannel: im noticing that tons of things I am looking for are not coming up, irssi, tons of others, yet I can find them with apt-get | 00:23 |
| Flannel | asdffdsas: That's wrong. | 00:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arthus, bunch of jibberish doesnt explain what it is telling you. either tell us what it says or read up so you can ask better questions | 00:23 |
| sfer21 | kaiser10123: I think you'll have a problem with doing that with xp... | 00:24 |
| arthus | Jack_Sparrow: i know, i'm getting you a paste | 00:24 |
| asdffdsas | Flannel, synaptic IS dangerous and can screw your install up completely... that's WHY they added add/remove which won't let you break it so easy! | 00:24 |
| Flannel | freq18hz: They use the same cache. Try hitting 'reload' (although, if theyre showing up in apt, youve likely already reloaded) | 00:24 |
| dummyhead31 | freq18hz: are you sure you have enabled all the repositories (universe, multiverse,) | 00:24 |
| zoor | Jack_Sparrow: ok.. But all I'd really want to is to get thus awful refresh rate thingy to get solved first. No meaning in getting effects if my eyes are so sore they cant even look at the screen :) | 00:24 |
| sfer21 | asdffdsas: here's a tip: don't delete things in synaptic when you don't know what they are | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | asdffdsas, Synaptic is not dangerous, unless YOU change the sources it uses | 00:24 |
| MatBoy | Flannel: I'm reinstalling with a MD with ext3 for /boot only ;) | 00:24 |
| Flannel | asdffdsas: No, it can't break your installation. It can remove programs to your installation, but that's not breaking. | 00:24 |
| hspaans | asdffdsas: they both use the same backend | 00:24 |
| kaiser10123 | sfer21: how big are the wubi partitions likr is there a 10gb and a 5gb? | 00:25 |
| Flannel | freq18hz: How are you searching? | 00:25 |
| freq18hz | Flannel: I have hit reload, and it still does not come up. I have all the respositories checked in Software Sources | 00:25 |
| freq18hz | searching for ALL | 00:25 |
| freq18hz | quicksearch | 00:25 |
| asdffdsas | sfer : example, You check to remove "java", and it removes half the software on your computer.. .it's easy to misuse! | 00:25 |
| kaiser10123 | maybe i can take the xp install in has and uninstall all the extra crap then do a wubi of xubuntu that is 10gb? | 00:25 |
| dummyhead31 | freq18hz, that's the problem, use the search button instead | 00:25 |
| asdffdsas | Anyways, I've broken installs twice using synaptic, and I'm no idiot.. .was simply trying to remove somethign like java and it took half my software on the comp away | 00:25 |
| arthus | Jack_Sparrow: here's a photo: http://skitch.com/arthus/9i4i/cam | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | asdffdsas, Do you have a question.. chat is for other channels.. | 00:25 |
| Flannel | freq18hz: You're just starting to type irssi with all of them listed? | 00:25 |
| dummyhead31 | Quick search is meant for searching INSIDE of your main search | 00:26 |
| x0r | zoor: install mesa-utils (if not already) and post command "glxinfo" and "glxgears" somewhere | 00:26 |
| Diiphantom | im going to reinstall ubuntu 8.10 how can i save my bookmarks from firefox? | 00:26 |
| x0r | and give me the link | 00:26 |

| arthus | the last command it stalls at is "run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" | 00:27 |

| usser | ghostlines, short of rebooting and seeing if it picks it up? | 00:34 |
| usser | ghostlines, google for model and see if its supported, then just modprobe the correct kernel module | 00:34 |
| compengi | badzero, you seem to be in the wrong place. this is a supporting help channel, it has nothing to do with packaging. please refer your request to #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-desktop | 00:35 |
| freq18hz | so I cant see the ok buttons....so if I drag the window up, it stops at the top panel, basically I can never see the bottom, I have to move to my bottom workspace to see the bottom of the window | 00:35 |

| sfer21 | arthus: what | 00:37 |
| sfer21 | 's your issue? | 00:37 |
| hspaans | arthus: no one can fix this issue only based on a screenshot, you need a bugreport for this | 00:37 |

| eduardopl | After a while, some of my applications just don't open anymore. For example, amarok, kaffeine, nautilus and kile don't open if I try to open them some hours after I logged on ubuntu. Does someone know why? | 01:00 |

| eseven73 | !gksu | 01:01 |
| 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) | 01:01 |

| hckyplayer024 | hi im trying to install ubuntu on an older computer. The Live CD hasnt worked because my CD drive doesnt like it for some reason. Ive been able to make a bootable copy on my hard drive and when Ubuntu starts i click installer. However when the installer gets to the partitioner, everything is gray. Anyone have a solution? | 01:02 |
| etyrnal | how do i find out if ethernet bridging is built into the kernel i am using? | 01:02 |
| ldiamond | hspaans, I just cant find this package | 01:02 |
| JCusick | eduardopl, if you open a terminal and execute "top" that will give you your memory usage... | 01:02 |
| stan | etyrnal, try using brutil | 01:03 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: empathy in 8.10 is working | 01:03 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, is this the same hard drive you are using to boot off? | 01:03 |
| Slart | x0r: irc itself doesn't do colours.. it's probably your client that makes certain lines colored.. like those containing your nick for example | 01:03 |
| hckyplayer024 | yeah. | 01:03 |
| nathanhelp | thanks compengi. | 01:03 |
| ldiamond | hspaans, this is an older version, I want the latest version that enables more features | 01:03 |
| etyrnal | stan, meaning... just try to use it, and if it works -- it's there? | 01:03 |
| x0r | Slart: so am I being black-blue? | 01:03 |
| stan | etyrnal, sure? | 01:03 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, yeah that would do it | 01:03 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: you need ubuntu 9.04 for that | 01:04 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel, I thought this was the problem but I have no other way to install it.... | 01:04 |
| compengi | nathanhelp, no problem :) | 01:04 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, you can't really modify a hard drive that | 01:04 |
| etyrnal | stan, tring to troubleshoot a bridge | 01:04 |
| nathanhelp | can someone give me a hand in working through this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 | 01:04 |
| Slart | x0r: I don't know what kind of colours you're seening.. you're black on white on my screen.. except when you say Slart.. then your line gets orange on black | 01:04 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, you can't really modify a hard drive that's in use | 01:04 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, do you have another that you can use? | 01:04 |
| ldiamond | hspaans, there has to be a way for me to build their latest version with 8.10... | 01:04 |
| compengi | ldiamond, i think you should be fine downloading the build dependencies from repos. i believe this part is missing | 01:04 |
| etyrnal | none of the brctl docs explain how to check the kernel for ethernet bridging support | 01:04 |
| Slart | x0r: it's all configured in whatever client you're running | 01:04 |
| x0r | Slart: :o I'm seeing myself as gray only | 01:04 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel, you mean install another harddrive into the computer and do it like that? | 01:04 |
| stan | etyrnal, insmod /lib/modules/version/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko | 01:05 |
| ldiamond | compengi, I installed the package called "telepathy" which includes empathy... still cant build the newer version | 01:05 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: say basicly you need gnome 2.26 for it | 01:05 |
| afeijo | hspaans: dd says it is a directory, I need to create several isos one for each .vob? | 01:05 |
| x0r | Slart: thanks, I though I was just as "visitor" | 01:05 |
| buntoaster | compeng:i cant find it | 01:05 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, yeah | 01:05 |
| hspaans | afeijo: directory? | 01:05 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel - ive tried to do it with my USB drive, but theres no option in my bios to boot from USB and the alternate CD doesnt work | 01:05 |
| paranoid_ndroid | when coming from suspension the wireless takes 20-30 seconds to connect. how can I force it to connect? | 01:05 |
| hspaans | afeijo: please only post your command | 01:05 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, is this a laptop or desktop? | 01:06 |
| compengi | ldiamond, do you understand that before building, you need to install specific dependencies for ubuntu from repos to be able to build it? | 01:06 |
| afeijo | hspaans: sudo dd if=/media/cdrom/VIDEO_TS/ of=/home/feijo/panda.iso | 01:06 |
| compengi | buntoaster, how did you start your game? | 01:06 |
| hspaans | afeijo: if=/dev/scd0 is you cdrom | 01:06 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel its a desktop | 01:06 |
| buntoaster | compengi: it says found in user/local/games but i can't find the file | 01:06 |
| enerya | paranoid_ndroid - it has to search for strongest signal? perhaps removing it from roaming mode? | 01:06 |
| ldiamond | Yes, and I have absolutely no idea what dependencies I need. That's why I came here | 01:06 |
| Slart | x0r: it doesn't make a difference if you're registered or not.. of course, registering has other advantages such as "owning" a nickname | 01:06 |
| ldiamond | ( compengi ) Yes, and I have absolutely no idea what dependencies I need. That's why I came here | 01:06 |
| buntoaster | its in other | 01:06 |
| afeijo | hspaans: no its not, it say io error | 01:07 |
| paranoid_ndroid | enerya, it's configured to automatically connect to one connection. It doesn't recognize anyother | 01:07 |
| sloopy | afeijo, trying to make an iso of a movie? | 01:07 |
| compengi | buntoaster, type "locate <game>" and it would list all the files having that name that you need | 01:07 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: empathy is now part of gnome so you need to update large parts of gnome since a lot of libs are being updates for 2.26 | 01:07 |
| compengi | ldiamond, are you building "empathy" or "telepathy" | 01:08 |
| enerya | paranoid_ndroid - yes, and how many modes a +b +g +n ? | 01:08 |
| afeijo | sloopy: yes, or just duplicate the dvd video | 01:08 |
| buntoaster | compengi: in terminal? | 01:08 |
| hspaans | afeijo: then its a no go area | 01:08 |
| compengi | buntoaster, sure | 01:08 |
| ldiamond | compengi, telepathy includes empathy from what I've seen | 01:08 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel- i was thinking of removing the hard drive and putting it into another computer and using that CD drive to install onto the harddrive. but thats a last resort. Do you know how to make the Live CD just work? | 01:08 |
| === h[a]kr is now known as hakr | ||
| enerya | paranoid_ndroid - i say you just have to learn to be patient | 01:08 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: what features are you missing btw? | 01:08 |
| sloopy | afeijo, drop the VIDEO_TS part and then it will make an iso of the dvd | 01:08 |
| paranoid_ndroid | enerya, it connects automatically | 01:08 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, what happens when you use the live cd? | 01:08 |
| compengi | ldiamond, what's the package name you are building? | 01:08 |
| ldiamond | hspaans, I dont seem to be able to receive offline messages | 01:08 |
| nathanhelp | Does anyone have some availabilty to just help explain things when i come up them, if i dont understand them? I'm working through this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 | 01:08 |
| etyrnal | stan, so "/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko" -- would seem to indicate i have it then -- sorry for the n00bishness | 01:08 |
| afeijo | sloopy: I did try it first, Ill try again | 01:09 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: for which protocol? | 01:09 |
| enerya | paranoid_ndroid - so its a non-issue | 01:09 |
| paranoid_ndroid | enerya, I'm sure there's a command that I can write | 01:09 |
| buntoaster | says its in usr file | 01:09 |
| ldiamond | hspaans, msn and gtalk (jabber) irrc | 01:09 |
| paranoid_ndroid | it's linux :p | 01:09 |

| hspaans | afeijo: you need to use the DEVICE and that is /dev/scd0 for most people | 01:10 |
| enerya | paranoid_ndroid - try ifdown and ifup | 01:10 |
| chilli0 | hi all | 01:10 |
| afeijo | hspaans: if its not scd0 here, how to find it out? | 01:10 |
| chilli0 | how can i set up a extender display? onto a nother screen | 01:10 |
| ldiamond | compengi, E: Couldn't find package build-dep | 01:10 |
| arthus | is there any way to non-destructively upgrade? | 01:10 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel, it just says that the disk is unvalid. but it works on other computers just fine. Im pretty sure its something with the CD drive | 01:10 |
| buntoaster | compengi:how do i delete? no rite click delete | 01:10 |
| hspaans | afeijo: see which device is mounted on /media/cdrom with mount | 01:10 |
| x0r | hey, I still have 2 pyhton version (2.5, 3.0). How can I remove just the other one, as when I try, I get a huge list of programs to be removed too. How can I remove only the other Python. Removing normally will even remove my xubuntu-desktop, as that uses Python too.. | 01:10 |
| enerya | arthus - why do you insist on upgrading? | 01:11 |
| LordMetroid | I can't get my CD rom to working | 01:11 |
| compengi | ldiamond, sorry 'sudo apt-get build-dep empathy' | 01:11 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, could well be, do you have a cd drive you can throw in? | 01:11 |
| arthus | enerya: or reinstall, I guess | 01:11 |

| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to view the contents of a zip file without installing any other programs or extracting it? | 01:12 |
| thirdwheel | x0r, what is your problem? | 01:12 |
| enerya | x0r - yes because there are many dependencies on python | 01:12 |
| hspaans | afeijo: should not matter | 01:12 |
| abarbaccia | Flynsarmy: you just need to install zip and unzip then the archive manager can take care of it | 01:12 |
| ldiamond | isnt there a IM prog out there that works with sound, video and offline messages? | 01:12 |

| thirdwheel | x0r, is it a problem having more than one version of python? | 01:13 |
| x0r | yes | 01:13 |
| Flynsarmy | abarbaccia, sorry i meant from the command line | 01:13 |
| buntoaster | compengi: ty | 01:13 |
| enerya | Flynsarmy - if you had the jar a java archiving tool, you can use it like tar tvf file.zip | 01:13 |
| abarbaccia | Flynsarmy: sudo apt-get install unzip then unzip <filename> | 01:13 |
| hspaans | ldiamond: you best hope is telepathy in the near future | 01:13 |
| thirdwheel | x0r, care to elaborate? | 01:13 |
| Flynsarmy | abarbaccia, that extracts it. i want to view the contents without extracting | 01:13 |
| enerya | abarbaccia - there is jar to do those kind of work | 01:13 |
| compengi | ldiamond, 'amsn' is for only msn though, and it's not stable. pidgin supports multi-protocols and offline messages, but not vv | 01:13 |

| hspaans | ldiamond: but don't expect video/audio support for msn and gtalk for now | 01:14 |
| thirdwheel | x0r, why is having two versions of python a problem? | 01:14 |
| compengi | buntoaster, you are welcome ::) | 01:14 |
| hckyplayer024 | thirdwheel, im trying to look for one. do you have any other way for me to get ubuntu onto my computer | 01:14 |
| Flynsarmy | energY, tar tvf test.zip: This does not look like a tar arachive | 01:14 |
| hckyplayer024 | ?if i boot from another partition would that work | 01:14 |
| enerya | Flynsarmy - jar not tar | 01:14 |
| x0r | thirdweel: low memory :o | 01:14 |
| abarbaccia | Flynsarmy: sorry i misunderstood ur question | 01:14 |
| energY | Flynsarmy: ? | 01:15 |
| ldiamond | I guess I'll have to create my own Video/Audio conference app then... | 01:15 |
| Flynsarmy | enerya, bah. too complicated. i'll just install atool and type 'als test.zip' which does the trick | 01:15 |
| compengi | ldiamond, instead of that, help already built applications on that task :D | 01:15 |
| cylux | Hey, I have a usb device and in lsusb it shows up, how do I mount it? | 01:16 |
| enerya | Flynsarmy - the less you learn about tar or jar, is to your disadvanage :P | 01:16 |
| compengi | ldiamond, 'amsn' supports video conference as far as i know. but it's buggy | 01:16 |
| arthus | I cannot boot. System fails at "Loading manual drivers..." | 01:16 |
| x0r | thirdweel: ehm... can I not remove either pythons :(? | 01:16 |
| thirdwheel | hckyplayer024, i'm not sure sorry, if you have another hard drive you can throw in to put the live cd stuff on you could do it that way | 01:16 |
| jtaji | x0r: you can't just replace python 2.5 with python 3 you installed from outside the package system, so many things on your system rely on python 2.5 | 01:16 |
| hckyplayer024 | yeah ill try that. but for sure its not seeing the partitions because im booting off the same hard drive right? I just wanted to make sure? thanks thirdwheel | 01:17 |
| x0r | jtaji: both pythons are installed on synaptics | 01:17 |

| compengi | iscrat, then it's more simpler than that | 01:24 |
| jaredtizzle | http://p.opsat.net/v/1l2 - any idea why this happens with msttcorefonts? | 01:24 |
| compengi | iscrat, just 'sudo rm -R folder/' | 01:24 |

| jeff__ | compengi, it just opened another firefox window. | 01:25 |
| x0r | to all: solved my problem! thanks for all :) | 01:25 |

| gap | nogagplz: I installed 180.11 yesterday but I didn't notice any difference from the 177.82... plus my glxgears is not that smooth knowing that it gives me 2000+ FPS | 01:26 |
| iscrat | yes, at the moment | 01:26 |
| zc00gii | unop_ ifconfig, usually ifconfig -a | 01:26 |
| etyrnal | unop_, sorry ifconfig | 01:26 |
| olskolirc | Xchat isn't ready for compiz-fusion.....took out my gorgeous transparency | 01:27 |
| lukasz | hmm | 01:27 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, what do you want to know? | 01:27 |
| x0r | gap: 2000+ fps? that is HUGE! | 01:27 |
| hocem | amarok is bloqued and do not respond..can i reset it? | 01:27 |
| LordMetroid | Can I load initrd, etc. for doing a netboot installation from within my old system so I do not need to use the CD-ROM reader? | 01:27 |
| lukasz | Thnx for enabling my forum account btw | 01:27 |
| hocem | or should i reset the computer? | 01:27 |
| compengi | iscrat, http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3683 | 01:27 |
| etyrnal | unop_, just trying to troubleshoot why a bridge i am trying to setup doesn't seem to be having the effect expected | 01:27 |
| energY | etyrnal: windows? | 01:28 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, and that be? | 01:28 |
| compengi | jeff__, correct | 01:28 |
| energY | oh crap... | 01:28 |
| olskolirc | yeah i wanna know too | 01:28 |
| w3wsrmn | zc00gii: That's odd a man page wasn't installed along with the command. Here's a paste of it: http://pastebin.com/d1988dde9 | 01:28 |
| iscrat | thanks! | 01:28 |
| etyrnal | unop_, i have a machine that i am trying to give LAN/inet access via eth1 on my Ubuntu box -- eth0 has LAN and inet | 01:29 |
| lukasz | Hmm Ubuntu is very interesting | 01:29 |
| x0r | could someone direct me to page showing all the commands in here? (e.g. /join -room-, /me -text-) | 01:29 |
| compengi | iscrat, in terminal>edit>profiles>edit>general>uncheck 'Terminal bell' | 01:29 |
| lukasz | I heard that Ubuntu doesn't like raid :P | 01:29 |
| qwexe1 | hello everyone, I just build a new PC, I created a install cd 64 bit 8.10, when I try to boot from it, I get nothing but a screen of I/O buffer error | 01:29 |
| olskolirc | Kubuntu is addictive | 01:29 |
| jaredtizzle | http://p.opsat.net/v/1l2 - any idea why this happens with msttcorefonts? | 01:29 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, ok - and i assume eth0 and eth1 are part of the bridge? | 01:30 |
| tonsofpcs | qwexe1: sounds like the issue i had, try reburning the cd with a fixed lower speed | 01:30 |
| c9h291 | ls there any user who use amarokultracover? | 01:30 |
| etyrnal | energY, nay - ubuntu 8+ | 01:30 |
| etyrnal | unop_, yes | 01:30 |
| olskolirc | I fell asleep here the other night i was on fire to do so much haning in there till the last drop | 01:30 |
| zc00gii | w3wsrmn, what is special device? | 01:30 |
| lukasz | Now back to the question! My webcam picture is upside down how can I fix that? | 01:30 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, what ip address did you give the bridge interface? is any? | 01:30 |
| gap | anyone tried ubuntu 9 ? | 01:30 |
| olskolirc | any work on gnome3 or is that just a rumor | 01:30 |
| olskolirc | word* | 01:30 |
| qwexe1 | ok, this is 2 separate cd's, one worked fine on another pc | 01:30 |
| zc00gii | is it the devce I want to install it to?(eg: /dev/sda2) | 01:30 |
| etyrnal | unop_, it got 192.168.69.44 | 01:30 |
| gap | the alpha version | 01:30 |
| compengi | gap, #ubuntu+1 for that | 01:30 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: 3.0 comes after 2.28 | 01:31 |
| w3wsrmn | zc00gii: That would be the device where you wish to create the HFS... | 01:31 |
| olskolirc | oh i don't know hspaans im on Kubuntu | 01:31 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, ok, the host (s) on the eth1 side have what IP addresses? | 01:31 |
| core1 | jomlo | 01:31 |
| olskolirc | I can't stand ubuntu | 01:31 |
| etyrnal | unop_, 192.168.69.* | 01:31 |
| zc00gii | w3wsrmn, partition aswell correct? | 01:31 |
| core1 | jomblo | 01:31 |
| iscrat | compengi - thanks! | 01:31 |
| lukasz | Anyone have a fix for a webcam upside down? | 01:31 |
| x0r | to all: hey, seriously: Where can I see all the chat commands?! | 01:31 |
| olskolirc | I test drove kde4.2.....buggy........gorgeous though comes out at the end of January | 01:31 |
| compengi | iscrat, welcome :) | 01:31 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, and the eth0 side? | 01:31 |
| lukasz | I have an Asus G1S ! | 01:32 |
| energY | lukasz: Turn it around | 01:32 |
| etyrnal | 192.168.69.* | 01:32 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: basicly an API-break moment, so 3.0 is about 18 months away | 01:32 |
| lukasz | oops | 01:32 |
| etyrnal | energY, i was going to say that | 01:32 |
| lukasz | damn tab | 01:32 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, ok, can hosts on the eth1 side ping hosts on the eth0 side? | 01:32 |
| w3wsrmn | zc00gii: No, you only have to specify the device, eg /dev/sdaX | 01:32 |
| lukasz | energY how do I do that? | 01:32 |
| olskolirc | 2010 I heard hspaans I can't find a youtube on it...check out its credibility | 01:32 |
| gap | lukasz: intall "cheese webcam booth" and select the upside down effect.... :) | 01:32 |
| energY | lukasz: You take the webcam, and flip it over so the top is down. | 01:32 |
| zc00gii | w3wsrmn, that includes the partition, where X is the partition | 01:32 |
| lukasz | ok | 01:32 |
| energY | etyrnal: I am fastest! | 01:33 |
| lukasz | I am installing kopete atm | 01:33 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: 2.26 comes in march 2009, 2.28 in sep 2009, and 3.0 in march 2010 | 01:33 |
| etyrnal | unop_, the only host on the eth1 side is directly connected to eth1 via ethernet cable and is headless - it was working when connected into the LAN inanopther room however | 01:33 |
| compengi | energY, i thought it's shipped by default with GNOME :| | 01:33 |
| x0r | olskolirc: do you use Windows more than Linux? | 01:33 |
| qwexe1 | I am going to try to get the exact error before I bug you guys again, bbl | 01:33 |
| olskolirc | I don't have windows except in vbox | 01:33 |
| olskolirc | i just don't use ubuntu im on kubuntu | 01:34 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: and its not going to be a KDE3.0 or KDE4.0 moment luckily | 01:34 |
| lukasz | I will have to install drivers as well, I will do that asap | 01:34 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, i seem to be asking too many question and getting nowhere :) tell me your problem and anything that can help support troubleshooting it. | 01:34 |
| etyrnal | unop_, in another room -- on a real switch - but i have to locate the machine in this room now, and the only available port is the space NIC (eth1) on the ubuntu box =) | 01:34 |
| olskolirc | kde4.2 comes out in a month hspaans | 01:34 |
| x0r | olskolirc: I wouldn't decide something is bad, if I only use alpha or beta version.. | 01:34 |
| olskolirc | its in beta now hspaans | 01:34 |
| olskolirc | oh I didn't say it was bad. x0r I fell in love with it | 01:34 |
| x0r | olskolirc: :) | 01:35 |
| olskolirc | how can the kde team do better than 4.2 | 01:35 |
| etyrnal | unop_, just trying to get the 2 nics on the unubtu box to be bridged such that the machine dangling off eth1 can see the rest of the lan/inet connected to eth0 | 01:35 |
| Slart | x0r: try writing /help in your client.. | 01:35 |
| lukasz | I hope you guys fix mirrors soon for Ubuntu 8.04 TLS | 01:35 |
| lukasz | Some of them are slow :( | 01:35 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, well .. that's what i asked - can hosts on the eth0 side ping this host ? | 01:35 |
| olskolirc | im bored | 01:35 |
| inx-live | lukasz, what happened with the web cam? | 01:35 |
| lukasz | Holdon I cannot do that atm | 01:36 |
| x0r | Slart: well that answer have to be really be a very difficult to write, as nobody else didn't have the time to even start writing that! | 01:36 |
| lukasz | I am installing kopete | 01:36 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: kde is a dead end because of qt :( (this is due to there dependens on a commercial third party that needs to make money) | 01:36 |
| === inx-live is now known as mdg | ||
| bobbob1016 | How can I start an app via ssh, and have it pop up on the current machine? As in how can I ssh into a PC and have my SSH start mplayer with a movie? | 01:36 |
| etyrnal | unop_, sorry - no they can not -- i thought You were asking if the host on the eth1 side could | 01:36 |
| lukasz | Hopefully this solution will work for kopete :D | 01:36 |
| bobbob1016 | I remember it was Display=:0.0 mplayer /path/to/file or something, but not sure the exact syntax | 01:36 |
| x0r | : where can I test the commands? | 01:37 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, can the headless host ping the bridge - can the other hosts ping the bridge? | 01:37 |
| etyrnal | unop_, i get 'destination host unreachable' | 01:37 |
| compengi | bobbob1016, ssh is a secure shell, you can work with it only in frames everything that can be done in text mode. no visual. | 01:37 |
| Slart | x0r: I don't think people are lazy.. it's just that when someone asks questions like that it kind of shows they haven't used google.. haven't read the documentation etc.. so if you answer that question they will just keep on asking about trivial stuff | 01:37 |
| nachohi88 | where is stored what i download with wget? | 01:37 |
| * olskolirc still trying to get over them taking xmms and now hes trying to kill kde | 01:37 | |
| Ahadiel | nachohi88, Whatever directory you ran it from. | 01:38 |
| etyrnal | unop_, all the devices on the LAN side (eth0) can ping the ubuntu box (bridge) | 01:38 |
| x0r | Slart and to all: I'm not that kinda noob | 01:38 |
| olskolirc | they better not EVER discontinue kde | 01:38 |
| olskolirc | it won't happen | 01:38 |
| darnell | how do i fix the bluetooth "obex push not supported" problem? | 01:38 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: xmms is being dropped upstream by debian | 01:38 |
| olskolirc | what does that mean hspaans | 01:38 |
| Slart | x0r: here's a first tip.. write your question in google.. see if you get any good hits.. if the first hit answers it you shouldn't have to ask it | 01:38 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: that means it will also disappear from ubuntu unless they have to much time and money | 01:39 |
| etyrnal | unop_, could this just be a simple issue of not having a crossover cable? | 01:39 |
| x0r | Slart: yes, google is our friend.. | 01:39 |
| darnell | how do i fix the bluetooth "obex push not supported" problem? | 01:39 |
| gap | guys can someone explain how to edit the vertical and horizontal refresh rate ?? because I was experimenting with wobbly windows the other day and I found out that if i move a window up and down, the animation is very smooth, but if i move it sideways, a very annoying tearing is showing up across the window... | 01:39 |
| olskolirc | but kde 4.2 isn't out yet and the beta is hot hspaans :-( | 01:39 |
| olskolirc | this is sad for me | 01:39 |
| Slart | x0r: and there's usually a channel called #test for testing stuff | 01:39 |
| x0r | gap: could you show the wobbly windows settings? | 01:40 |
| olskolirc | if im stuck with gnome im beating the s* out of tux | 01:40 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, you don't seem to answer all my questions. If a host is connected directly to another, you need a cross over cable connecting them. | 01:40 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: kde will never be out of beta, since they need to change there code and api every couple of years | 01:40 |
| pikario | hi, how can i disable all additional workspaces? | 01:40 |
| etyrnal | unop_, sounds like a stupid question, BUT all my other machines are Apple and they have ethernet ports that automatically compensate/configure for a situation wherein crossover is needed | 01:40 |
| x0r | olskolirc: KDE wouldn't even be here, if there wouldn't be so many windows users. Gnome is meant to be the most-linux, if compared with KDE | 01:40 |
| olskolirc | its stable hspaans Im just not with this plasma bleeding even in the 4.1 right now | 01:41 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, can you ping the headless machine from the bridge (or vice versa) ? | 01:41 |
| CrazyDiamond | HI can anyone offer me some assitance with 8.10 | 01:41 |
| gap | xor: wobbly windows was an example... another example is when I turn the desktop cube I get the same results... | 01:41 |
| etyrnal | unop_, the only question i can not answer directly, is that the host on the eth1 side has NO keyboard, mouse, or monitor | 01:41 |
| olskolirc | x0r, they share the same things | 01:41 |
| x0r | CrazyDiamond: let's hear it | 01:41 |
| olskolirc | I just like more control over my gui and gnome doesn't give it to me | 01:41 |
| etyrnal | unop_, i can NOT ping the headless machine from the bridge. | 01:41 |
| compengi | unop_, cross over cables are needed when you want 2 pc's directly connected between each other, when there's a hub between them, then you'd need straight through cable to connect them | 01:41 |
| lukasz | Finally Kopete is installing :D | 01:41 |
| x0r | olskolirc: yes, but the look is different.. | 01:41 |
| CrazyDiamond | my user switcher panel applet keeps crashing all i want to do is put it in the panel so i can see my name and have the options to log off ec | 01:41 |
| unop_ | compengi, that's what i said. | 01:42 |
| olskolirc | yesh x0r thats why im not on gnome...I hate the look | 01:42 |
| gap | xor: what option in wobbly windows are you looking for ??? | 01:42 |
| etyrnal | unop_, the headless machine's MAC doesn;t show in brctl showmacs br0 | 01:42 |
| CrazyDiamond | also im gettin an annoyin system beep on occasions id like that stopping also :P | 01:42 |
| olskolirc | ive been with kde since red hat 6.2 | 01:42 |
| x0r | olskolirc: windowzz user! | 01:42 |
| olskolirc | tried enlightenmet for a while | 01:42 |
| Slack_ | What are popular linux games that are out their | 01:42 |
| Slart | CrazyDiamond: the system beep can be shut off in system, preferences, sound.. something like use system alert | 01:42 |
| olskolirc | others, blackbox | 01:42 |
| olskolirc | i live kde | 01:42 |
| Slart | !games | Slack_ | 01:43 |
| ubottu | Slack_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 01:43 |
| olskolirc | x0r, I havn't been a windows user in 12 years | 01:43 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, did you add eth1 to the bridge ?? | 01:43 |
| [[thufir]] | I'm in the live cd, installing, and am at using the scripted install. How do I ensure that sda is untouched and only sdb is changed in terms of partitions? I'm a bit wary of data loss. | 01:43 |
| olskolirc | you was probably in grade school then | 01:43 |
| compengi | Slart, i thought you were asking the question about popular linux games. nick "Slack" seemed similar to you :P | 01:44 |
| gap | Slack: http://rangit.com/software/top-8-linux-games-of-2007/ | 01:44 |
| ciapsadm | Hi | 01:44 |
| ciapsadm | :) | 01:44 |
| etyrnal | unop_, yes - i did brctl addif eth0 and i did the same for eth1 then ifconfig br0 up | 01:44 |
| x0r | oslkolirc: *you misled the path of destiny, it is inevitable..* | 01:44 |
| lukasz | Ok Now the problem is Kopete is upside down | 01:44 |
| CrazyDiamond | i read one site i can do it in terminal the system beep but i get errors | 01:44 |
| CrazyDiamond | im using ubuntu 8.10 btw | 01:44 |
| Slart | compengi: hehe.. just talking to myself.. nothing to see.. move on =) | 01:44 |
| lukasz | I chose effects and it worked but Kopete still seems upisde down | 01:44 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, ok, and brtcl show br0 verifies that? | 01:44 |
| olskolirc | I liked debian too | 01:44 |
| compengi | hehe | 01:44 |
| etyrnal | unop_, yes - absolutely | 01:44 |
| hspaans | olskolirc: its not funny to see your bugfixes disappear (and appear) due to rewrites. it happend to me both with KDE1 and KDE2 | 01:44 |
| olskolirc | i left debian and got ubuntu then kubuntu | 01:44 |
| perlsyntax | I try to install wingware with the deb file but it not working any ideas? | 01:44 |

| olskolirc | kde 4.1 is the only kde that is running a muck on me | 01:45 |
| MatBoy | man, ubuntu install was done in less than an hour, totally setup, everything installed :D | 01:45 |
| etyrnal | unop_, through a switch, yes | 01:45 |
| lukasz | Why is kopete upisde down picture in my webcam? | 01:45 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, but not when connected directly ? | 01:45 |
| perlsyntax | does anyone know anything about deb file? | 01:45 |
| olskolirc | I dont like that we don't have a choice | 01:45 |
| energY | MatBoy: is that good or bad? | 01:45 |
| olskolirc | Id rather kde 3.5 | 01:45 |
| Slart | perlsyntax: what are you trying to install? | 01:45 |
| MatBoy | energY: good ! | 01:45 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, they are connected directly now, aren't they? | 01:45 |
| x0r | hspaans: kde 1 and 2 was pretty long time ago.. the coders were less-skilled | 01:45 |
| etyrnal | unop_, yes - had not tried that specific test | 01:46 |
| energY | MatBoy: A lot bether than xp at least. | 01:46 |
| lukasz | Is there a solution for kopete upside down webcam? | 01:46 |
| perlsyntax | http://www.wingware.com/downloads/wingide-personal | 01:46 |
| etyrnal | unop_, gonna try now brb | 01:46 |
| unop_ | etyrnal, yea, you might need a crossover cable. | 01:46 |
| perlsyntax | Slart that what i try to install. | 01:46 |
| Slart | perlsyntax: ok.. so you downloaded it? tried just double clicking on it? | 01:46 |
| MatBoy | energY: the default install is faster, but U installed all additional software and made all settings that I need :) | 01:46 |
| bobbob1016 | compengi, I did it before, I don't mean I want to get gui through the terminal. I have an ubuntu box hooked up to my TV, and I want to SSH into it, and start videos with mplayer to play on the same machine that I went into with SSH | 01:46 |
| etyrnal | unop_, can't ping it | 01:46 |
| hspaans | x0r: has nothing todo with less-skilled, more with morons from trolltech but this goes offtopic | 01:47 |
| perlsyntax | i did that and nouthing happons. | 01:47 |
| CrazyDiamond | can i reinstall single applets? | 01:47 |
| etyrnal | unop_, sorry i wasted Your time -- but i appreciate Your effort very much - thank You -- gonn go see if i can make a xover cable | 01:47 |

| iscrat | smart )) | 01:55 |
| olskolirc | so paltalk was never going to give linux ppl paltalk b/c they are afraid that we will tear up their servers and now they give us a half a* paltalk through the browser and no sound | 01:55 |
| x0r | software is like sex, it's best when it's free | 01:55 |
| yanom | it is called snowballz | 01:55 |

| tonsofpcs | i just get another prompt and the process is still D | 01:55 |
| compengi | tonsofpcs, when you run ps aux, what user does it give? | 01:55 |
| merther | update manager states 32.7 kB/s | 01:55 |
| tonsofpcs | 1000 | 01:55 |
| bazhang | please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:55 |
| olskolirc | paltalk is still free x0r | 01:55 |
| tonsofpcs | i've tried as su | 01:55 |
| x0r | sorry ubottu, will remember it | 01:55 |
| hspaans | merther: to mirror maybe slow | 01:55 |
| olskolirc | there used to be a good linux room there | 01:55 |
| x0r | olskolirc: I have no idea, which is paltalk x) | 01:56 |
| yanom | when i start snowballz, it gives an error about xfree86 | 01:56 |
| yanom | why is this? | 01:56 |
| hspaans | merther: the mirror even | 01:56 |
| olskolirc | omg x0r | 01:56 |
| x0r | :D | 01:56 |
| Slart | perlsyntax: you've installed software from a website.. it's not in the official repositories.. we have no way of knowing what it does, how it works, if it works, how to configure it etc.. you'll have to ask the people who supplied the software to you | 01:56 |
| olskolirc | if you have windows in vmware or vbox, download it | 01:56 |
| compengi | yanom, do you have it installed? | 01:56 |
| dummyhead3 | merther: Go to software sources (in System> administartion) and Select a different server, there is a button to choose the best server for you | 01:56 |
| olskolirc | you will lose your underground mind x0r | 01:56 |
| yanom | yes | 01:56 |
| tonsofpcs | i really have no problem with them running, but I can't get any audio out :( | 01:56 |
| yanom | i got it from the repositorys | 01:56 |
| x0r | olskolirc: I have windows primarly | 01:56 |
| olskolirc | why x0r ? | 01:57 |
| merther | checking | 01:57 |
| olskolirc | I have trained so many ppl to linux who have never heard of it x0r on paltalk | 01:57 |
| bazhang | xorl, olskolirc please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:57 |
| x0r | olskolirc too slow PC to have virtual pC | 01:57 |
| hspaans | merther: the NL-mirror has multiple gigabit connections, just a minor hint | 01:57 |
| olskolirc | oops | 01:57 |
| x0r | sorryy | 01:57 |
| x0r | should we join (/join #ubuntu-offtopic, is it)? | 01:57 |
| olskolirc | dual boot x0r | 01:58 |
| olskolirc | shhhh | 01:58 |
| olskolirc | bazhang, might see that | 01:58 |
| olskolirc | ok im done | 01:58 |
| x0r | k | 01:58 |
| merther | random download online is topping at 182 KB/sec better at least. I'm checking that other mirror now | 01:58 |
| lukasz | Maybe its cause Kopete is not a good program hmm | 01:58 |
| olskolirc | kopete sux | 01:59 |
| Slart | merther: 32.7 kB/s = 32.7 kilo-bytes per second.. which is the same as 32.7 * 8 kbit/s = 261 kbit/s | 01:59 |
| olskolirc | i like pidgeon | 01:59 |
| compengi | olskolirc, pidgin | 01:59 |
| moj0rising | Hi. Anyone know a good way to run ubnuntu without a monitor? When I try doing this, I get a message from x/ GDM saying that it can not detect the proper refresh rates, etc. There's a lot on the forums and google about it but what I've tried so far didn't work. | 01:59 |
| Slart | merther: unless I've got the units mixed up | 01:59 |
| merther | gottcha | 01:59 |
| olskolirc | yeah that | 01:59 |
| yanom | does anyone know why my snowballz crashes with an xfree86 error? | 02:00 |
| merther | too bad though cause windows'll do 400 instead of 200 | 02:00 |
| Flannel | moj0rising: What are you trying to do with it? (is it a server or what?) | 02:00 |
| Slart | merther: are you talking to me? | 02:00 |
| olskolirc | yanom, reconfigure your xserver | 02:00 |
| yanom | snowballz is an RTS game. | 02:01 |
| compengi | moj0rising, if you want to run it without monitor, why do you need xorg-server or gdm/ | 02:01 |
| merther | Slart: ya, I'm checking that other mirror ant it seems to be downloading now at 509 kB/s. Much better | 02:01 |
| moj0rising | flannel, it is a server and a mythbuntu box... | 02:01 |
| Zombie | Anyone here familiar with setting up a Nintendo WiiMote under Ubuntu?? | 02:01 |
| moj0rising | ...I want it to be able to boot without a monitor for when I just want to use it for serving files and playing music | 02:01 |
| Flannel | !anyone | Zombie | 02:01 |
| merther | System should be updated in 13 minutes instead of 3 hours now. Thanks much guys | 02:01 |
| ubottu | Zombie: 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? | 02:01 |
| patb | hey | 02:02 |
| Slart | merther: ah.. well.. mirrors can be overloaded, cables can be broken etc etc but there should be at least one or two mirrors with reasonable speeds | 02:02 |
| compengi | moj0rising, why ubuntu-desktop then? i think ubuntu-server is much lighter than desktop | 02:02 |
| moj0rising | ...in the future, I'll hook a projector to it but for now, I want it to be headless and accepting remote x sessions and/ or vnc sessions. | 02:02 |
| hspaans | merther: please change back when you're done | 02:02 |
| olskolirc | ubottu you are no LadyByte | 02:02 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:02 |
| Zombie | I'd just like to know how compatible Hardy is with the WiiMote. | 02:03 |
| olskolirc | yeah, thats my point lol | 02:03 |
| moj0rising | compengi: because I will be using mythtv to display movies and such in the future. | 02:03 |
| Zombie | I'd like to avoid an upgrade to Intrepid. | 02:03 |
| merther | I'll put it back to the Canada one when I'm done. the Main one is the one I'm on now. | 02:03 |
| Flannel | Zombie: It's extremely. What are you trying to do with the wiimote? | 02:03 |
| x0r | Slack_: if still interested about the popular linux games: http://techgage.com/print/top_10_free_linux_games, and to see all the games available for linux, here is a link: http://www.playdeb.net/available_games.html | 02:03 |
| olskolirc | Intrepid is nice Zombie you would be impressed | 02:03 |
| Flannel | Zombie: check out wmgui | 02:03 |
| olskolirc | except now with kde4x i feel like i wsted a lot of time making those kde themes | 02:04 |
| olskolirc | now I have to learn plasma | 02:04 |

| olskolirc | sorush20, sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 02:05 |
| compengi | sorush20, did you install ubuntu-restricted-packages package? | 02:05 |
| olskolirc | nonfree didn't work for me | 02:05 |
| moj0rising | any ideas on booting without a monitor, guys/ gals? :) | 02:05 |
| x0r | Zombie: even jaunty jackalope is already very good! it is so stable that I couldn't crash it, no matter what I tried to do.. There is this one bug though... when you mouse-over a link, it blinks.. (even though the blinking calms down as the time passes..) | 02:05 |
| Slart | moj0rising: hmm.. I do it all the time.. can't remember having to do anything special | 02:05 |
| Slart | moj0rising: except disabling the monitor check in the bios | 02:06 |

| ac3_0f_spad3s | could anyone tell me how to change your root name? | 02:06 |
| Flannel | Zombie: Right. There's lots of tools available for that. check out wmgui for a demo of connecting/etc, wminput is an input driver, which I believe uses libcwii (through python-cwiid) | 02:06 |
| x0r | ubottu: you seem to know pretty much.. why aren't you admin :)? | 02:06 |
| Slart | moj0rising: I run xubuntu.. I think I upgraded to intrepid.. not really sure though | 02:06 |

| === alsohttperrorFri is now known as chilli0 | ||
| moj0rising | hm. that might be an important difference, Slart. I think intrepid (what I have on this box) is different there. | 02:07 |
| x0r | ubottu: about yourself tell | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:07 |
| somethingclever | slart not the search box, the ad ddress box, it used to defaul to google | 02:07 |
| x0r | lolll | 02:07 |
| Flannel | ac3_0f_spad3s: that's your username. Not roots username. You don't need to change the root username, because you don't need to log in as root. | 02:08 |
| MatBoy | man wow, flash 10 is damn fast on 64 bits | 02:08 |
| MatBoy | never seen it that fast before !! | 02:08 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | how do you change your username? | 02:08 |
| compengi | sorush20, ubuntu-restricted-extras contains everything you need | 02:08 |
| chilli0 | hi all | 02:08 |
| Flannel | ac3_0f_spad3s: I believe if you bring up users and groups you can do it there. You can also use usermod to do it. | 02:08 |
| compengi | ac3_0f_spad3s, you can't change your username, you can create a new one instead | 02:08 |
| chilli0 | can anyone help me out with getting a laptop webcam working? | 02:08 |
| somethingclever | can anyone help me out? | 02:09 |
| Flannel | compengi: That's entirely not true | 02:09 |
| moj0rising | When I looked at xorg.conf, I found it to be very sparse compared with every other xorg.conf file I've seen. It doesn't have any information on resolution or refresh rates in it. I guess that's done automatically on boot in intrepid and that might be why I'm having a problem. | 02:09 |
| compengi | Flannel, you can? | 02:09 |
| Flannel | compengi: Of course | 02:09 |
| patb | i got someone nosin around in my sys and i found hidden pid's | 02:09 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | Flannel: will i have to start from scratch? | 02:09 |
| * MatBoy is happy with flash 10 !!! | 02:09 | |
| compengi | Flannel, never new that | 02:09 |
| Flannel | compengi: you may not be able to do it while you're logged in as yourself though. | 02:09 |
| Flannel | ac3_0f_spad3s: No, you just have to change your username. | 02:09 |
| compengi | aha | 02:09 |
| surfzoid1 | CREAZY IRC chanel lolll | 02:09 |
| Slart | somethingclever: oh.. I see.. didn't know it did that.. hmm.. didn't find anything in the preferences.. what is it doing on your firefox? searching with some other engine? | 02:09 |
| moj0rising | chilli0: what issues are you having w/ the cam? | 02:10 |
| chilli0 | moj0rising: ubuntu doesnt know it there , i think , im a noob so yeh | 02:10 |
| MatBoy | wow amazing guys !! update to flash 10 :) it's great ! | 02:10 |
| patb | hey i used unhide and found hidden pid's in ubuntu is it bad? | 02:11 |

| tonsofpcs | is there a way i can change runlevel but leave certain processes untouched? | 02:12 |
| sorush20 | I have done those but its still not working | 02:12 |
| x0r | hey has anyone here tried linux gentoo? | 02:12 |
| patb | yeah | 02:12 |
| patb | not bad | 02:12 |
| tonsofpcs | yes, try #gentoo | 02:12 |
| moj0rising | chilli0: that's okay. try doing this: unplug the cam (betting it's usb, right?).. open a console and type sudo dmesg | tail -f ...then plug the cam back in. Do you see anything in the console when you do that? | 02:12 |
| patb | takes long to install stuff | 02:12 |
| chilli0 | moj0rising: its a laptop webcam built in | 02:12 |
| patb | have to compile evrything | 02:12 |
| x0r | even if you are a leet? x) | 02:12 |

| chilli0 | moj0rising: its a lenovo Y530 | 02:13 |
| moj0rising | you can also give something like this a shot: dmesg | grep cam and see what comes up. | 02:13 |
| patb | yeah if you know how to config properly you can shave it | 02:13 |
| hspaans | x0r: your power bill is lower then your friends with the gentoo box | 02:14 |
| moj0rising | ah. okay. lenovo generally has good support for linux and a lot of people run it on them (I run kubuntu on an n200 myself... try googling your model for that. | 02:14 |
| Slart | somethingclever: there's a setting called keyword.URL in about:config that might be what you're looking for | 02:14 |
| sorush20 | I have followed you instructions but they have not worked. | 02:14 |

| patb | is ubuntu supposed to have hidden pid | 02:15 |
| Flannel | trailbrain: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official | 02:15 |

| stan | patb: ubuntu does not have any 'hidden' processes. | 02:15 |
| chilli0 | up* | 02:15 |
| Slart | patb: what processes is it? | 02:15 |
| lukasz | My webcam still appears upside down in programs :( | 02:15 |

| hspaans | x0r: try gentoo or freebsd todo a merge or a ports upgrade and watch your powermeter spin like hell | 02:16 |
| stan | patb, i suggest you boot off a live CD and determine whats going on. | 02:16 |
| trailbrain | thanks flanel! | 02:16 |
| chilli0 | stan: yes it does | 02:16 |
| lukasz | Like In Kopete and amsn :( | 02:16 |
| \kira | How could I force a user to log off via the command line? | 02:16 |
| moj0rising | okay. well have you googled your laptop model? something like "lenovo Y530" linux or "lenovo Y530" ubuntu should do it. | 02:16 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | is it wise to set a strong password or can i set a password of medium strength? | 02:16 |
| stan | chilli0, no -- it doesnt. | 02:16 |

| ac3_0f_spad3s | doesnt ubuntu have protection against brute force attacks Flannel | 02:17 |
| x0r | yes | 02:18 |
| hspaans | \kira: you may want to try -15 instead of -9 first | 02:18 |
| Slart | \kira: yes.. it's just less to type compared to kill -9... and it sounds way cooler =) | 02:18 |
| patb | one mi | 02:18 |
| Slart | \kira: but I think that deep down it's the same | 02:18 |
| stan | moj0rising, Perhaps... which is totally not what the question was, nor relevant, nor 'hidden' processes. | 02:18 |
| patb | checkin again | 02:18 |
| Flannel | ac3_0f_spad3s: not by default, you could add it (see DenyHosts). But still, you should have a strong password regardless of brute force protection | 02:18 |

| Slart | [[thufir]]: no lines that start with "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx" ? | 02:30 |

| JCusick | have you checked the config files to make sure that it's listening on localhost and port 80? | 02:31 |
| moj0rising | [[thufir]]: that looks right. I have shaw too and that's what my router's resolv.conf file has (similar, actually -- nameserver 64.59.144.92 nameserver 64.59.144.93) | 02:31 |

| [[thufir]] | moj0rising: ah, good to know :) | 02:32 |
| Susie | x0r: All of them? Will that uninstall it successfully? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think that's how it worked | 02:32 |
| moj0rising | yeah. :) you can try making a backup of your resolv.conf and putting those dns servers in there if ya like | 02:33 |
| moj0rising | that might work for you. | 02:33 |
| Guest44550 | yes and on my firewall port 80 is fine | 02:33 |
| Guest44550 | i sent you a pm | 02:33 |
| Slart | [[thufir]]: ok.. let's try this.. "gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" and change that first nameserver line to use 208.67.222.222 instead of whatever is there now | 02:33 |
| jtaji | Susie: yeah you shouldn't do that, have you tried going into Synaptic and searching and removing all vmware packages? | 02:33 |

| leon | i have problem about apt-get. apt-get can not handle http 302. anyone have some ideas? | 02:34 |
| x0r | Susie, if remove complete remove through synaptic or terminal is done, you have no choice but to manually remove | 02:34 |
| Slart | [[thufir]]: then save the file and close the editor | 02:34 |
| [[thufir]] | Slart: ok | 02:34 |
| Susie | jtaji: I have, and all vmware packages are not installed | 02:34 |
| jtaji | Susie: or you could figure out what package an installed file is from with dpkg -S path/to/file | 02:34 |
| JCusick | Guest44550, check /etc/httpd for the config file, read it, there are explanations | 02:34 |
| KSI_DarLxKnighT | well dis is neat | 02:34 |
| Susie | jtaji: Let me try that. | 02:35 |
| Flannel | leon: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 02:35 |
| KSI_DarLxKnighT | "leaving" | 02:35 |
| Susie | jtaji: I can't seem to find the file of the program itself. There are so many vmware files to hunt through | 02:36 |
| leon | Flannel, nice c u again. my ubuntu is v810. | 02:36 |
| [[thufir]] | Slart: thanks | 02:36 |
| Flannel | leon: Odd. What repos are giving you a 302? | 02:36 |
| JCusick | Guest44550, cd to /etc/http or httpd, I forget, then do an "ls" to see the files there | 02:36 |
| jtaji | Susie: how about the ones in /etc/init.d or /usr/lib you mentioned? | 02:36 |
| Slart | [[thufir]]: it works now? | 02:36 |
| moj0rising | tonsofpc1: you can try backing up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then runnning sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg as specified in the first few lines of the xorg.conf file. | 02:36 |
| leon | Flannel, i add part iii respos , such as wicd | 02:37 |
| moj0rising | tonsofpc1: make sure you back up the conf file 1st though. | 02:37 |
| Slart | [[thufir]]: now, this isn't a lasting solution.. it might break the next time you update your ip from the dhcp server.. or it might break the next time you restart.. so write down that ip number so you can do this again | 02:37 |
| Susie | jtaji: The ones I am trying give the result of "dpkg: *filename* not found | 02:37 |
| Flannel | leon: You'd just have to resolve the 302 manually then. I imagine apt won't honor 302s for security purposes | 02:37 |
| JCusick | Guest44550, if /etc/httpd does not exist, then apache is not installed. Did you install it with apt-get? | 02:37 |
| draginxx | When will ubuntu's sources pick up mysql 5.1? | 02:38 |
| JCusick | (or /etc/http) I forget | 02:38 |
| pathfinder662 | Hello everyone, I recently just set an Ubuntu server acting as a router for my home network. I have everything working, but I am having problems with ufw. I open a port for example: 6113 yet that port is still blocked. Is anyone able to help with this issue? | 02:38 |
| Slart | draginxx: perhaps in the next version? ubuntu doesn't usually upgrade packages in a release | 02:38 |
| patb | huh | 02:38 |
| [[thufir]] | Slart: yes, works for now. thanks very much. | 02:38 |
| moj0rising | tonsofpc1: also remember that messing with that can make your video situation worse -- no GUI at all if you mess it up. If that happens, log in text mode and move your backup xorg.conf file back where it was and run the "reboot" command. | 02:38 |
| nickrud | JCusick, not true for ubuntu, /etc/apache2/* is the config (and httpd.conf is normally empty) | 02:39 |
| patb | is my system really compromise | 02:39 |
| Guest44550 | yes i installed it with get apt-install | 02:39 |
| Slart | draginxx: unless it's some kind of small security fix or such | 02:39 |
| stan | patb, YES. | 02:39 |
| leon | Flannel, but why the repos provider such respons that need http 302. | 02:39 |
| JCusick | nickrud, thanks | 02:39 |
| Flannel | JCusick, Guest44550: it's /etc/apache2/ | 02:39 |
| tonsofpc1 | moj0rising: yup, i figured as much | 02:39 |
| draginxx | Slart, oh, is there a launchpad source for MySQL then? There's got to be a way to keep up | 02:39 |
| moj0rising | tonsofpc1: cool. I'm betting the reconfigure routine will work for ya. good luck. | 02:39 |
| Flannel | leon: No idea. You said it was a third party repository? You'd have to check it out with them | 02:39 |
| Slart | draginxx: there is a backports repository.. no guarantee that it will show up there though | 02:40 |
| Guest44550 | /etc/apache2/: is a directory | 02:40 |
| Slart | !backports | draginxx | 02:40 |
| ubottu | draginxx: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 02:40 |
| Flannel | Guest44550: do this: `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` Does it give you any errors? | 02:40 |
| draginxx | thanks mate :) | 02:40 |
| moj0rising | gonna roll. later, everyone. | 02:40 |
| nickrud | JCusick, if you're familiar with apache, you'll find the config broken up into various files under /etc/apache2; a2enmod/a2dismod and a2ensite/a2dissite enable/disable | 02:40 |

| rainabba | I'm having a major issue with glxinfo. I've got an nVidia GTX 260, running Ubuntu Hardy x86_64, enabled Desktop Effects, installed fusion-icon, and I've installed the nVidia binary drivers from nvidia.com. When I execute glxinfo, I get bumped back to the login screen. If I start fusion-icon from a terminal, the same happens though I can start it from the Applications menu without any trouble. | 02:40 |

| [[thufir]] | when the installer writes that the partition table for sda will be changed: http://pastebin.ca/1295590 that seems a problem. I don't want the partitions on sda to change, there's data there. I've done the manual option and am just installing to sdb. | 02:41 |

| kitche | hikenboot: use rbash as a shell :) | 02:41 |
| x0r | BellinXFelon, that's the best video player forl inux | 02:41 |
| rainabba | stan: LoL. No, it's the 2nd best card on the consumer market right now (bested only by the GTX 280) | 02:41 |
| marceloplt | Helloooooo | 02:42 |
| marceloplt | what you from guys? | 02:42 |
| Flannel | guestguestnew: I'm not sure that's accurate, but it's chown owner:group /path/to/file | 02:42 |
| stan | rainabba, well.. i woudlnt say 2nd best.. but im just kidding with you :) | 02:42 |

| BellinXFelon | thats lame | 02:43 |
| KenBW22 | Slart: sed being a text editor? | 02:43 |
| BellinXFelon | on some streams it says that its playing but all that comes out is sound | 02:43 |
| JCusick | Guest44550, so when you restart, all is OK? | 02:43 |
| Slart | KenBW22: nope.. a stream editor.. man sed for that warm fuzzy "I found more documentation than I know what to do with"-feeling =) | 02:43 |

| Guest44550 | no connnection to kocalhost server is refused in thunderbird for my hotmail account g-mail is fine | 02:45 |
| patb | firewall shows nothing but i do have hidden processes | 02:45 |
| tons2000 | well, tried that, still max res 800x600 | 02:45 |
| Slart | KenBW22: yes, you can make it do all kinds of stuff | 02:45 |
| JCusick | geez.... thuderbird connects to a mail server, not a web server | 02:46 |
| jtaji | Susie: if you install things other ways it can be difficult to remove completey, however you can prevent it from starting by just doing: sudo update-rc.d vmware remove | 02:46 |

| Kadko | Hello guys, i have a little problem, recently i have uninstalled accidently a library of my video driver from the terminal, how can i undo that uninstallation? | 02:46 |
| Flannel | Kadko: Just reinstall it | 02:47 |
| darnell | can someone help me with bluetooth | 02:47 |
| JCusick | gnu.org has the "books" for both sed and awk and they'reboth pretty good | 02:47 |
| Guest44550 | that's correct pop and smtp are fine and green lighted just on my hotmail account can't connect | 02:47 |
| gopp | likewise is telling me Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080047] | 02:47 |
| JCusick | I'm not sure that hotmail allows that | 02:47 |
| Slart | KenBW22: a quick example.. say I want to change all "Alabama" to "Washington" in a textfile called cities.txt.. I could do this by running the following command in a terminal, "cat cities.txt | sed s/Alabama/Washington/ >newfile.txt" | 02:47 |
| qwexer | what would make my live CD not boot and give buffer I/O error message? | 02:47 |
| === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb | ||
| tons2000 | so i switched video cards, new card is only showing 800x600 available, hwo can i fix this? | 02:48 |
| JCusick | maybe pop. go to the hotmail site for help | 02:48 |
| KenBW22 | Slart: is it like grep wher it takes one line at a time? | 02:48 |
| Slart | KenBW22: cat just prints out a file.. then it pipes it to sed, sed changes stuff.. and at last we send it all to a new file called newfile.txt | 02:48 |
| JCusick | I've never used thunderbird for hotmail, only gmailand my own imap server | 02:48 |
| donalddoyle_ | need help downloading AIM | 02:48 |
| ortsvorsteher | Guest44550: hotmail doesnt allow other clients than something from mickeysoft. | 02:48 |
| Kadko | Yes but it doesnt install again because i have typed the name wrong on terminal for example Aptitude install gtkspell and the terminal uninstalled a program called nvidia-xconfig and i acepted that because i havent read only press Y | 02:48 |
| Susie | jtaji: That would be great. I was mostly concerned with the five seconds or so it was adding to my boot time | 02:48 |
| Flannel | Kadko: Right, just reinstall nvidia-xconfig | 02:49 |
| Slart | KenBW22: afaik it does it's thing on the whole stram.. regardless of lines | 02:49 |
| Kadko | let me see wait | 02:49 |
| Guest44550 | ok but why is my localhost server connection refused/failed | 02:49 |
| Susie | jtaji "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vmware exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)" | 02:49 |
| Susie | jtaji: "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vmware exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) | 02:49 |
| Susie | " | 02:49 |
| Paddy_EIRE | qwexer, possibly a corrupt download/disc/burn... try downloading and burning a fresh iso.. also how are you burning the image to begin with? | 02:49 |
| JCusick | Because thunderbird is not a web browser, it's a mail user agent | 02:49 |
| KenBW22 | Slart: the reason it matters is because i want to move stuff around between lines, as well as reference stuff from previous lines | 02:49 |
| KenBW22 | Slart: is that possible with sed | 02:50 |
| Slart | KenBW22: but sed has been around a long long time so there are lots of tutorials and howto's out there.. | 02:50 |
| JCusick | try to connect with mozilla/firefox | 02:50 |
| donalddoyle_ | need help downloading aol instant messenger | 02:50 |
| Flannel | donalddoyle_: Have you tried pidgin instead? | 02:50 |
| Susie | jtaji: Should I force it or would that be harmful? | 02:50 |
| jtaji | Susie: go ahead and add the -f option, sudo update-rc.d -f vmware remove | 02:50 |
| donalddoyle_ | yes | 02:50 |
| Guest44550 | iv'e have seen other successfully install yahoo/hotmail/mail.com and send and receive e-mail | 02:50 |
| bazhang | donalddoyle_, gaim is now called pidgin | 02:50 |
| donalddoyle_ | i am talking about aim | 02:50 |
| donalddoyle_ | from aol | 02:50 |
| [[thufir]] | if you have two hard drives, is there some trick to installing to just one hard drive? I'm getting messages that the partiton table has changed for both no matter what I try. | 02:50 |
| Guest44550 | could it be iptables firewall | 02:50 |
| JCusick | Ken, it's possible... but complicated, usually sed and awk together will acconplish that | 02:50 |
| Flannel | donalddoyle_: Right, what is wrong with pidgin? | 02:51 |
| jtaji | Susie: all this does is remove the links to /etc/init.d/vmware in the /etc/rc*.d/ directories which cause it to start, you can always recreate them | 02:51 |
| donalddoyle_ | i am currently using pidgen | 02:51 |
| bazhang | donalddoyle_, downloading from where | 02:51 |
| Slart | KenBW22: there is very little that sed can't do when it comes to searching and replacing.. but like most powerful tools it takes some time to get to know | 02:51 |
| donalddoyle_ | i am using pidgen to talk to my friends on aim | 02:51 |
| naknomik | I want to nfs export a directory in read-only and read-write modes (with different names of course) how do I do that? | 02:51 |
| JCusick | Guest44550, try firefox and tell me what you see | 02:51 |
| donalddoyle_ | and i cant video chat | 02:51 |
| nickrud | aol doesn't make a linux version, does it? | 02:51 |
| KenBW22 | Slart: but useful in the future? | 02:51 |
| Flannel | nickrud: Not of any recent version, no. | 02:51 |
| kitche | KenBW22: if you want to you could use sed to write a whole paper :) | 02:52 |
| Slart | KenBW22: oh indeed.. if you learn grep, awk, sed and regular expressions you might just be able to conquer the world in some weird way | 02:52 |
| Guest44550 | try firefox as in what | 02:52 |
| JCusick | doesn't pidgin connect to aol? | 02:52 |
| Susie | jtaji: That seemed to do it. Thanks. :) | 02:52 |

| Guest44550 | could it be iptables firewall | 02:52 |
| KenBW22 | Slart: lol. i think i have soe understanding of regexp - from Dreaamweaver actually but i think it's similar | 02:52 |
| donalddoyle_ | all i want is an application to let me video chat with AIM | 02:52 |
| JCusick | Guest44550, have you tried firefox yet? | 02:53 |
| Guest44550 | yes i'm on ubuntu linux 8,10 | 02:53 |
| Slart | KenBW22: yea, regular expressions are pretty much the same everywhere (with some small exceptions) | 02:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | donalddoyle, "all I want" does not make something immediately gratifying | 02:53 |
| JCusick | and firefox won't connect to localhost? | 02:53 |
| donalddoyle_ | ok | 02:54 |
| donalddoyle_ | i know it doesnt | 02:54 |
| Guest44550 | how is that done? typing in 127.0.0.1 | 02:54 |
| JCusick | iptables will not stop local connections unless you have told it to. | 02:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | donalddoyle, you could try running AIM in wine | 02:54 |
| donalddoyle_ | how can i learn more on how to use ubuntu | 02:54 |

| JCusick | ah... well, that will do it, you are connecting but there is no index | 02:56 |
| darnell | seriously? its hard to get help in this channel... all I want is assistance with bluetooth!! its a well known problem with intrepid. is there a fix? | 02:56 |
| Slart | KenBW22: if you run into problems there's always #ubuntu or #bash | 02:56 |
| JCusick | check the docs, it's too complicated to explain on irc... go to apache.org and read the manual | 02:57 |

| Flannel | Guest44550: Put stuff in /var/www and make sure its readable by www-data (making it world readable is generally the easiest way) | 02:57 |

| JCusick | try a simple file called index.html (and use html tags in the file for best results) | 02:58 |
| darnell | Paddy, i explained my problem multiple times in detail | 02:58 |
| darnell | for hours | 02:58 |

| darnell | i've even gotten it to work with a iphone ... | 03:02 |

| Flannel | Guest44550: Ah. Best to keep it in channel. You can use sudo with cp to copy stuff there. If you're completely out of place with the command line, you can use `gksu nautilus` to open a nautilus window with elevated privledges. Be *extremely* careful with that, and close it as soon as youre done (copy the files, then make them world readable) | 03:04 |
| nickrud | darnell, have you tried looking on the bugtracker; it may be a known regression | 03:04 |
| darnell | slart..thanx for letting me know that. | 03:04 |
| JCusick | quite the opposite, unfortunately | 03:04 |
| Slart | darnell: I can't remember why it was broken.. I think I found some kind of reason somewhere but I don't remember it atm | 03:04 |
| Flannel | Guest44550: A better long term solution is to add yourself to the www-data group, and then give group write permissions to /var/www (after changing its owner to www-data:www-data) | 03:04 |
| nickrud | darnell, and if it isn't logged and your phone worked with previous versions they'd probably appreciate/hate a bug report | 03:05 |
| mindrape | The more cutting edge a tool/protocol/etc is is inversely proportional to the likelihood that it will work, darnell... just as an FYI. | 03:05 |
| Slart | darnell: basically I've given up.. I use a wire to connect my phone while I wait for jaunty | 03:05 |

| meoblast001 | atrus: idk..... maybe i need to update..... how does vista get every app to do that? it should be connected with the GTK controls to make the transparency i think | 03:24 |
| Boohbah | Mimi: is that not what you wanted? | 03:24 |
| Mimi | Paddy_EIRE, doing it in aptitude, won't it also tell apt-get? | 03:24 |

| Accidus | I'm having problems with hibernating. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. When I hibernate, the machine freezes upon resume, just before the login screen appears. Nothig but physical reset unfreezes it. The mouse pointer won't even move. If I disable compiz, I sometimes manage to hibernate once, but the second time it freezes again. My swap space is 6GB for a 3GB RAM. I've tried to log at the boot log, but shut down seem to go alright, | 03:45 |
| Accidus | whereas nothing was written to log upon resume. Anyone knows what might cause this, or what can I do to better diagnoze the problem? | 03:46 |
| [[thufir]] | per http://pastebin.ca/1295590 , will sda lose data? I didn't make any changes, but the installer keeps talking about changes to the partition table. | 03:46 |
| Accidus | I've searched the forums and google, but didn't find anything relevant that wasn't decreed 'fixed' | 03:46 |
| steve1984 | can someone help me with a situation i am having with my chipset drivers for ubuntu 8.10 | 03:47 |
| steve1984 | is any one here | 03:48 |
| trupheenix | hi i'm facing a major bug with the git package on Ubuntu hardy. http://paste.uni.cc/19553 Please check that out, basically it's adding files which I specified to ignore under .gitignore. it's completely incorrect. Can anyone push an upgrade for the existing git-core package? I tried the exact same commands on Intrepid Ibex and it worked perfect. | 03:48 |
| natnayr89 | Accidus: im also having that problem with my hibernate, doesnt seem to hibernate as well in a proper manner, i think the reason is due to the linux distributions not having the proper drivers used in DELL inspiron | 03:48 |
| Accidus | natnayr89: You too, eh? Suspend works great, but hibernate breaks, right? | 03:48 |
| steve1984 | i need to find linux drivers for my intel integrated graphics DG35EC motherboard | 03:49 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: it should just work out the box | 03:50 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: unlike windows, linux comes with drivers out the box | 03:50 |
| steve1984 | not for linux no drivers came with it for linux | 03:51 |
| natnayr89 | Accidus: yeah, i think its a dell issue | 03:51 |
| steve1984 | i only get 480 by 640 res. | 03:51 |
| Accidus | Damn. | 03:51 |
| natnayr89 | Accidus: ive a inspiron 9300 here with me | 03:51 |
| steve1984 | well i guess my motherboard is too edvanced for linux then | 03:51 |
| GreedyB | Anyone know why my blkid shows the wrong information? I'm trying to modify my fstab but blkid is showing the wrong information | 03:51 |
| Accidus | natnayr89: 9300? I thought it was fixed with that one... | 03:51 |
| natnayr89 | Accidus: nt sure yet | 03:52 |
| steve1984 | rich?? | 03:52 |
| natnayr89 | Accidus: when was it fixed? | 03:52 |
| Accidus | I looked it up in some forums and I thought people said it was fixed. | 03:52 |
| Accidus | I'lll try to find that thread again. | 03:52 |
| natnayr89 | Accidus: with the new ubuntu? | 03:52 |

| Accidus | natnayr89: I think so, yea. I'm still trying to look it up. BTW, do you have that annoying bug with the Fn keys? | 03:56 |

| tensei | boohbah: ?? how would that go? do I type it in the terminal? | 04:05 |
| Dom1 | it might work just fine. I haven't used cinelerra in about 2 years but basically you just | 04:05 |
| rep | just gotta check the power supply | 04:05 |
| Dom1 | hit import or something, select the file | 04:05 |
| Boohbah | MenZa: that is not generally useful when the information could be obtained from lspci. | 04:05 |
| Dom1 | and throw it on the timeline. | 04:05 |
| steve1984 | i have the terminal window open and all that stuff is dosplayed | 04:05 |

| steve1984 | ok thankyou | 04:08 |
| Dom1 | to be more precise about my issue: something apt-related is generating a bad sources.list line | 04:08 |
| Dom1 | it should say | 04:08 |
| Dom1 | something like http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 04:08 |
| Dom1 | but instead it's generating: | 04:08 |
| Dom1 | something like http://.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 04:08 |
| bazhang | Dom1, please paste.ubuntu.com with sources.list | 04:09 |
| Dom1 | sure. | 04:09 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: I think you have a very recent graphics card in your computer, this could be causing the trouble.. il find a soloution. | 04:09 |
| steve1984 | thanx | 04:10 |
| steve1984 | its not a graphics card though its onboard integrated intel graphics | 04:10 |
| Slack_ | whats the syntax for a .tbz2 instal | 04:10 |
| bazhang | Slack_, what package | 04:10 |
| Boohbah | steve1984: should use the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver. | 04:10 |
| steve1984 | all that i know is that i am able to use dual moniters on windows xp and vista with it | 04:11 |
| Slack_ | i just know its a .tbz2 | 04:11 |
| pikario | hi, i need to format my sd card... but it's not being recognized in gparted as a device. it's mounted, however, and is perfectly readable as /media/disk | 04:11 |

| bazhang | Slack_, best to find if package is in the repos first | 04:11 |
| rsteenwyk | From the shell, how can I move all of the contents of a folder but not the folder itself to another location? | 04:11 |
| Boohbah | Slack_: tar xjvf file.tbz2; cd file/; make; sudo make install | 04:11 |
| Slack_ | Boohbah: thank you | 04:12 |
| steve1984 | well i installed 8.10 today and it didnt pick it up i would have worked and when i went into the hardware drivers app it didnt come up with anything | 04:12 |
| Boohbah | Slack_: but you won't be able to manage it with ubuntu's package management tools | 04:12 |
| steve1984 | so what do i do | 04:12 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: does system --> preferences --> screen resoloution only list 640x480? | 04:13 |
| steve1984 | u trying to say i have to learn how to write a driver for it | 04:13 |
| dummyhead3 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1017988 | 04:13 |
| steve1984 | it only lists that | 04:13 |
| steve1984 | thats right rich | 04:13 |
| eseven73 | !tab | steve1984 :) | 04:14 |
| ubottu | steve1984 :): You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:14 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: so you have another screen hooked up to it and both only do 640x480? | 04:14 |
| steve1984 | i dont have the other hooked up right now im still trying to find the right driver for graphics chipset on linux | 04:14 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: i thought maybe it might not be detecting your monitors capabiilitys correctly | 04:14 |
| steve1984 | ive ran 1024 and 1280 res,'s on these moniters before | 04:15 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: I cant find many problems with your graphics chipset so it could be your monitor. | 04:15 |
| eseven73 | steve1984: sorry ubottu wasnt very helpful that time, what i was meaning was you can easily type someones nick on IRC by typing like the first two or three letters then press TAB key :) | 04:15 |
| rsteenwyk | Does anyone know what command I need to use to move all of the contents of /Folder to /Folder2 without moving /Folder into /Folder2? does that make any sense? | 04:15 |
| steve1984 | its a compaq flat panel 5017 | 04:15 |

| NemesisD | hi all. for some reason when i try to delete a file i have to permanantly delete the file because it can't be moved to the trash. Whats up with that? | 04:17 |
| Dom1 | one confusing thing, it seems like the 'feisty' dir has been removed from all the mirrors | 04:18 |
| Dom1 | probably cause old, but I can't install anything at all and this is blocking me. | 04:18 |
| Dom1 | but yea, any insight would be useful. if not I was going to hack apart the update-manager code and see what's going wrong when generting this bad server name. | 04:18 |
| bazhang | Dom1, you are wishing to upgrade? that is feisty which is eol; need to use old-releases.ubuntu.com if so | 04:19 |
| Dom1 | I couldn't find any bugs that quite matched this. | 04:19 |
| eseven73 | Dom1: why not just reinstall 8.04 or 8.10? upgrading from such and old release is a pain | 04:19 |
| Dom1 | hm gotcha, I could do that. | 04:19 |
| steve1984 | i am here | 04:19 |
| Dom1 | I was hoping to take the cheap lazy way out, but if it's that bad I can maybe redo it. | 04:19 |
| eseven73 | its not 'bad' its a pain | 04:20 |
| Dom1 | I had a ton of custom dev libraries installed was the only reason I didn't want to go from scratch | 04:20 |
| Dom1 | I wasn't aware of old-release.ubuntu.com | 04:20 |
| Boohbah | steve1984: have you checked here? http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+intrepid+dual+monitor+intel | 04:20 |
| Dom1 | *releases | 04:20 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: you might want to try rebooting into live cd with a different monitor so that it redetects it, see if it finds your resoloution. | 04:20 |
| eseven73 | Dom1: doubtful those old custom libs would work now anyways | 04:21 |
| Boohbah | steve1984: there are a number of ways to do dual monitor support, so you may have to try some things | 04:21 |
| steve1984 | can anyone tell me how to get a .rpm install file to work in ubuntu 8.10 \ | 04:21 |
| eseven73 | steve1984: thats not recommended | 04:21 |
| Boohbah | steve1984: can't find a .deb for it? ubuntu and 3rd-party repo's have almost everything | 04:21 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: tell us what it is, we will most likly find you a .deb | 04:22 |
| steve1984 | lol i dont car about the dual support in linux i just want my graphics drivers to work for 1280x1024 so i can play my wow and stuff sucks when your using linux but your graphics suck | 04:22 |

| Boohbah | steve1984: the same driver is available in the ubuntu repo's you don't need an rpm | 04:23 |
| steve1984 | so if i reboot into a live cd | 04:23 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: you could try opensuse, if that fails, that is another good linux distribution :) | 04:24 |
| steve1984 | and it does detect it does that mean i have to reinstall my current linux | 04:24 |
| Dom1 | I'll do that and if it's not done being setup in 2 days when I need it for an event I can just boot the old one. | 04:24 |
| dummyhead3 | steve1984: you can install alien, and use it to convert that rmp | 04:24 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: if that works then we are making progress, maybe we get it working in normal installation too | 04:24 |
| steve1984 | ive tried installing knoppix open suse and fedora and slakware all of them failed at installation | 04:25 |

| nibsa1242 | DiiPhantom: and it is a window that says "File Operations, Preparing, Preparing, Preparing" and then does nothing. | 04:27 |
| RichW1 | steve1984: perhaps try my livecd idea and come back later... | 04:27 |

I'm relatively new to linux, do u know of some troubleshooting tips i can try? Maybe how to check what drivers are installed? | 04:29 |
| steve1984 | yeah ya dont know how many packages ive downloaded and installed to day to get this thing working right and nuthing works i hate intel | 04:29 |

| wolter | RukusX, here is something about the xvideo | 05:02 |
| wolter | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_video_extension | 05:02 |
| wolter | i would recommend you to wiki all of them | 05:02 |
| nibsa1242 | sleepy_cat: alright, well all 20GB of stuff in my trash folder is finally removed thanks so much... | 05:02 |
| crdlb | RukusX: OpenGL is lovely, but that doesn't mean you need to use it for video playback | 05:02 |
| sleepy_cat | nibsa1242: ok if thats your preference.. I was just saving your time with that cmd.. | 05:02 |
| RukusX | what makes it lovely? i am concerned over video quality. | 05:02 |
| sleepy_cat | nibsa1242: happy to help :) | 05:02 |
| sean_aus | crimsun: thanks.. im currently upgrading to the 4.. update in progress.. | 05:03 |
| crdlb | RukusX: XVideo is a protocol designed specifically for video playback | 05:03 |
| RukusX | i see | 05:03 |
| nibsa1242 | kurrata: Windows needs to think that its boot drive is the master. I think there is a way to tell grub to tell windows that it is the master so that it works ok | 05:03 |
| Shoopuf | Anybody use the php-geshi package? My PHP is having a hard time finding the include_once geshi.php | 05:03 |
| SilentDis | kurrata: I've seen this. windows gets 'picky' if it's not the pirmary server. you have to futz with grub a bit to 'mask' so windows appears to be the first drive. I cannot for the life of me remember exactly how it's done, but I'm pretty sure it's on the !grub info page. | 05:03 |
| sleepy_cat | the code i was talking was "rm *" make a note of it so that in future when u meet such problems u can save ur time with this code | 05:03 |

| RukusX | wait it think i get it, if i think of opengel correctly, it relies alot on CPU power, and Xvideo by the looks of it can make use of your video hardware | 05:04 |
| wolter | steve198424, so what is your final decision? | 05:04 |
| kurrata | SilentDis: k, will read that stuff | 05:04 |
| sathorned | how can i get the sony gc1 net sharing cam to work | 05:04 |
| nibsa1242 | kurrata: you need to use the map command in your menu.lst file for grub | 05:04 |
| wolter | steve198424, there are also some things modified in the gui that you may dislike. | 05:04 |
| steve198424 | its me i was talking on pidgen before lol | 05:04 |
| RukusX | thanks guys for the help, i think i'm all good now. | 05:04 |
| kurrata | nibsa1242: used map already ;) | 05:05 |

| wolter | like the sound preferences. They are a lot more simple, but therefore less customizable | 05:05 |
| steve198424 | dislike??/ like what ?? | 05:05 |
| wolter | dummyhead3, its not very good for irc. | 05:05 |

| steve198424 | obf213, ???? | 05:08 |
| obf213 | steve198424: yeah? u 've got some ideas mate? | 05:08 |
| RukusX | wolter and crdlb, the conclusion i have come to is, Xvideo makes use of your video hardware controllers, thus relying less on your CPU power, whereas OpenGL relies on your CPU to process video streams, putting a strain on your CPU and not making any use of video hardware controllers | 05:09 |
| csc_ | is there a way to start an x application on the ***remote*** display? (no x forwarding): something like "ssh remoteuser@remotemachine xclock" where xlock starts on the display defined in remotemachine | 05:09 |

| cjs | Can anybody here tell me how to get rid of nautilus. All my old 8.04 session information appears to be ignored in 8.10. | 05:09 |
| rainabba | Running Hardy 8.04 with nVidia GTX 260 and my drivers seem to have gone to the dump. Not sure what I changed, but after installing the nVidia binary package (.run one from their site), things were working. I did a reboot for something else and now gnome comes up in "low resolution" mode. I tried running the installer again, then nvidia-xconfig. No luck. xorg.conf shows that I'm running 'nvidia' driver, but when I run nvidia-settings, it says | 05:10 |
| cjs | Or, failing that, can someone tell me where I should go for support on gnome session management issues? | 05:10 |
| RukusX | wolter as well, Xvideo makes use of other hardware accellerated features of your graphics card, like motion compensation, and overlays, | 05:10 |
| nibsa1242 | kurrata: ok, what you need to do is follow directions from: http://blog.firetree.net/2005/08/26/duel-boot-windows-with-grub/ pay attention to the map part under the windows entry | 05:10 |
| wolter | Very useful information, RukusX. | 05:10 |

| dummyhead3 | #ubuntu | 05:10 |
| dxdt | How can I get the version number of pkg not yet installed with Aptituted? For example if I want to check the version number of Liferea in the repos? | 05:11 |
| RukusX | wolter whereas, if you wanted to do ANYTHING that your video controller could do using OpenGL, not Xvideo, it would rely solely on your CPU | 05:11 |
| wolter | RukusX, are you sure about that? Paste the source please. | 05:11 |
| nibsa1242 | kurrata: that tricks windows into thinking its the master drive so it'll boot property... if it doesn't think its the master it refuses to boot | 05:11 |

| steve198424 | im able to view all of my windows files on my linux no problem | 05:13 |
| yitz_ | miyavi: Install ntfs-3g | 05:13 |
| wolter | RukusX, the keyword is "lack" in "the lack of an OpenGL Framebuffer Object or pbuffer, the use of an OpenGL environment like XGL makes xv hardware accelerations impossible." | 05:13 |
| miyavi | I don't know where to go to view them | 05:13 |
| dummyhead3 | yitz, to use Shockwave, you need to install firefox with wine and then install shockwave | 05:13 |
| neher | yitz: Shockwave is not really supported. You can run it in Wine. I reccomend you just do a google or two. | 05:13 |
| antonia-laptop | brb | 05:13 |

| enerya | nedwell - how do you run that proxy if you have such a user? | 05:14 |
| bin10101 | all I can find is crontab or rc.d but I really need this program to run in a normal window with sudo privs. Unfortunately it has a lot of output and needs to be babysat from time to time. any ideas on how to get around this? | 05:14 |
| miyavi | yitz_ now what? | 05:14 |
| enerya | bin10101 - look around /etc/network/ifup.d or ifdown.d | 05:14 |
| RukusX | wolter so what you are saying is, there is no OpenGL hardware acceleration? | 05:15 |
| nedwell | enerya: openssh should run it by itself, right? Then I can just plink(windows) into it using that username for proxy access. I just don't want that to be accessible via putty (windows) for direct terminal access. | 05:15 |
| jabagawee | how can i check what groups a user is in? | 05:15 |
| jabagawee | via command line | 05:15 |
| wolter | RukusX, I am actually saying the opposite of that. | 05:15 |
| Flannel | jabagawee: "groups username" | 05:15 |
| yitz_ | miyavi: Usage: ntfs-3g <device|image_file> <mount_point> [-o option[,...]] | 05:15 |
| jabagawee | Flannel, and who says the command line isnt intuitive? | 05:15 |
| Flannel | jabagawee: No one I know ;) | 05:16 |
| jabagawee | also, how do you add yourself to groups that you're not in? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | jabagawee: adduser user group | 05:16 |
| wolter | RukusX, the lack of a framebuffer, that I imagine that it is some sort of wierd thing, makes OpenGL hardware acceleration imposible, whereas the presence of it, makes it totally possible. | 05:16 |
| enerya | nedwell - i am not 100% sure, but look in /etc/passwd if you can run ssh at login | 05:16 |
| jabagawee | Flannel, again, duh. | 05:16 |
| Boohbah | jabagawee: groupadd | 05:16 |
| nedwell | thanks | 05:17 |
| Boohbah | jabagawee: sorry, not groupadd, that's for adding groups | 05:17 |
| RukusX | wolter well i won;t argue with you, i just honestly dont understand enough to. haha | 05:17 |
| jabagawee | Flannel, apparently, adduser didnt work | 05:17 |
| Flannel | jabagawee: you'll need to use sudo. sudo adduser user group | 05:17 |
| Flannel | jabagawee: And changes won't take affect until you log in again | 05:17 |
| Flannel | (if that user is currently logged in) | 05:17 |
| jabagawee | ah | 05:18 |
| bin10101 | enerya: not following, those dont run in viewable terminal...do they? am I missing something? | 05:18 |
| wolter | RukusX, ah that's ok haha. I just didn't want to defame OpenGl. | 05:19 |
| enerya | bin10101 - try it, put a script there that requires a terminal or console | 05:19 |

| RukusX | i never thought much about OpenGL until Ubuntu and compiz | 05:20 |
| narzy | I have a basic config file that should work I can connect to the smb server via the cli on a remote mac | 05:20 |
| wolter | I used to admire DirectX, now I realize that it is one of those Windows-only nasty products. | 05:20 |
| enerya | narzy - type smb and press tab twice to see all the cli for smb | 05:21 |
| wolter | It works well, indeed. But it is egotistic from Windows to keep it to theirselves. | 05:21 |

| RukusX | wolter that opens up a new door of understanding for me | 05:30 |
| RukusX | lol | 05:30 |
| ^Neil^ | perl update broke my scripts? | 05:30 |
| wolter | I supposed haha. | 05:30 |
| RukusX | also puts me back on square one | 05:30 |
| ^Neil^ | happened to anyone else? | 05:30 |
| RukusX | wolter, you just un-engineered my answer for me. Now i'm not sure again which video output is better for me, OpenGL or Xvideo. lol i just want best perofrmance and quality | 05:31 |
| wolter | RukusX, I'd tell you to go for OpenGL. | 05:32 |
| RukusX | i was always feeling that i should | 05:32 |
| wolter | I really don't know anything about Xvideo, but from what I have read, OpenGL is the father of Xv. | 05:32 |
| maximilian-schro | hi. i have a question about my home directory. i moved it to a second hard drive/partition. i added it to the fstab file and it seems to work fine after rebooting but how do i remove/delete the old folders? where do find them? :S | 05:33 |
| wolter | RukusX, anyway, you should not be worried about that, I don't think you will notice a difference, unless you have a low-end graphics card. | 05:33 |
| wolter | RukusX, which graphics card do you posses? | 05:33 |
| RukusX | wolter well if i think back to what i have learnt about compiz, etc... its uses OpenGL correct? and it would not run properly on my computer until i enabled hardware acceleration and Direct Rendering | 05:33 |
| Fezzler | thanks got it | 05:34 |
| eseven73 | :) | 05:34 |
| RukusX | so if OpenGL makes no use of hardware accerlaration, then what the heck was that? | 05:34 |
| RukusX | lol | 05:34 |
| ov3rfl0w | Hi | 05:34 |
| RukusX | i have a intel 915gm i think | 05:34 |
| RukusX | its 915 at least | 05:34 |
| jtaji | maximilian-schro: if you do 'sudo mount --bind / /mnt' your original home contents will be at /mnt/home and you delete them with 'sudo rm -rf /mnt/home/*' then unmount again with 'sudo umount /mnt' | 05:35 |
| RukusX | i know on my windows theatre machine, i had better performance when i enabled hardware acceleration | 05:35 |
| RukusX | obviously | 05:35 |
| wolter | RukusX, it does. | 05:35 |
| ov3rfl0w | I got some problems with the alsa-tools package. I've just download using the wget. But I can't install it. | 05:35 |
| RukusX | so, i was concerned that by using the wrong output i was not making use of hardware accelleration, but mabe i am confused about this on a codec level and not an output level | 05:36 |
| wolter | RukusX, OpenGL uses hware accel | 05:36 |
| jtaji | maximilian-schro: note that the empty /home needs to remain on the / disk to be used as the mount point, so delete the contents, not the directory itself | 05:36 |
| RukusX | i have noticed linux works alot on function, not feature | 05:36 |
| rainabba | Anyone else here running the GTX 260/280? Having any trouble? | 05:36 |
| wolter | RukusX, I do not recognize your graphics card. What games did you use to play on Windows? | 05:37 |
| ov3rfl0w | It just appears ./ac3dec and ./gitcompile: 3: aclocal: not found | 05:37 |
| RukusX | wolter, bottom line, then WHY give me the choice of Xvideo or OpenGL if there is no difference? | 05:37 |
| demdem | I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I keep getting 'could not access the cd' when trying to install to a slave drive? | 05:37 |
| narzy | how do I release / renew my ip address via cli | 05:37 |
| RukusX | wolter, i never used this computer on windows | 05:37 |
| wolter | RukusX, as I told you, I ignore most of the information describing Xvideo. But if Xvideo itself uses OpenGL, then I'd take a wild guess and say that OpenGL is better. | 05:37 |
| enerya | narzy - dhclient eth0 | 05:37 |
| soreau | RukusX: You've been on the longest troll rant I've seen in awhile now | 05:38 |
| RukusX | lol | 05:38 |
| wolter | To all of that you may feed yourself from one only thing: OpenGL uses hardware acceleration. | 05:38 |
| RukusX | i'm just trying to understand | 05:38 |
| wolter | soreau, is learning sinning? | 05:38 |
| RukusX | soreau, just trying to understand | 05:38 |
| RukusX | that wolter | 05:38 |
| RukusX | errr | 05:38 |
| RukusX | thanks wolter | 05:38 |
| wolter | ah no problem. | 05:38 |
| joeb3_ | ov3rfl0w, I think aclocal is in the automake package | 05:38 |
| Lakota | I have GPS-500 sirf III pharos and cant get it to work threw virtula box guest xp with all addons and is latest versions of Ubuntu and Vbox and usb is turned on in Vbox settings, im trying to make xp see the gps for maping | 05:39 |
| wolter | But tell me, which games did you use to play? | 05:39 |
| soreau | wolter: I was just being observant | 05:39 |
| narzy | nice! | 05:39 |
| RukusX | i wasnt ranting about anything | 05:39 |
| narzy | thanks | 05:39 |
| soreau | Trolling is not sinning, but it's easier to learn by reading | 05:39 |
| ov3rfl0w | joeb3_, I have already resolve my problem. | 05:39 |
| wolter | soreau, ah ok, I thought you were discretely shushing him. | 05:39 |
| ov3rfl0w | Thanks. | 05:39 |
| demdem | would anyone happen to know how to install ubuntu to a slave drive inside of windows or be able to point me to a tutorial? | 05:39 |
| demdem | trying to avoid making another partition on the master drive | 05:40 |
| RukusX | soreau, i tried reading, but i didnt know what i was reading or where to begin, and whatever i had was obviously the wrong road. i do not regret my "troll rant" as much as it maybe have annoyed you, i am sorry. | 05:40 |
| jjt009 | hey guys what's the command to go through all the terminal commands you've run? | 05:42 |
| soreau | RukusX: It's no problem http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7588 | 05:42 |
| jjt009 | search through all of them | 05:42 |
| joeb3_ | jjt009, history or use the up arrow | 05:42 |
| soreau | RukusX: Many users have similar questions when learning about video rendering methods | 05:42 |
| IcemanV9 | demdem: sudo fdisk -l (will show you two drives ... in my case, sda & sdb) | 05:43 |
| empiric | any one knows any good open source Document managemet system | 05:43 |
| jjt009 | joeb3_: hmm...that seems to be leaving out some commands i ran recently | 05:43 |
| ov3rfl0w | There is a form to redetect my sound card? I've just know that I did not have the alsaconf. | 05:43 |
| jjt009 | joeb3_: does the terminal window in which the command was executed matter? | 05:44 |
| joeb3_ | jjt009, did you run all the commands in the same terminal window? If not, you'll have to close it. | 05:44 |
| kiall | QQ - I'm looking for a simple screen magnifier to go with the gnome screen ruler - I'm a web developer, and quite often need to take pixel perfect measurements off design flats - I just cant seem to find something that doesnt require turning all the assistive tech stuff on... any suggestions? | 05:44 |
| jjt009 | joeb3_: nope -- this is a command i ran a few days ago, in another login | 05:44 |

| jjt009 | joeb3_: how do i consolidate all of the commands from different windows | 05:46 |

| ik | *shrug* | 05:51 |
| ik | assinine, but ok | 05:51 |
| sirstan | Flannel: update-manager -d would have sufficed as well. | 05:51 |
| eseven73 | kids :/ | 05:51 |
| Flannel | sirstan: Except there may be other things you need to know. Jaunty isn't stable; it's alpha software, etc. | 05:51 |
| ik | *sorry, I meant 'asinine' | 05:51 |
| sirstan | Flannel: arguably -- ubuntu is debian *unstable* :) | 05:52 |
| Paddy_EIRE | sirstan, a thank you would have been prefered for Flannel rather than criticising | 05:52 |
| Flannel | sirstan: no, when they're being developed, stability literally is day-to-day sometimes. It's not meant for regular human consumption | 05:52 |

| chilli0 | sirstan: can u use chilli0 , and i need to see my card details like what version and stuff is | 06:07 |
| racarter | no i mean, once you've installed everything.. then say you want to switch to gdm or kdm or whatever | 06:07 |
| erisco | soreau, it doesn't make any sense at all | 06:07 |
| sirstan | chilli0: what versions of what stuff? i cant tell you how to get the info you want; if you cant tell me :D | 06:07 |
| racarter | bah i'll worry about that when it comes up i guess | 06:07 |
| soreau | erisco: This would mean it's not specific to ubuntu and thus you would need to ask in a hardware support channel or forum like #hardware | 06:07 |
| chilli0 | sirstan: i need to find out the source type and driver | 06:08 |
| dxdt | if you ./configure then make, shouldn't there be files to run before you do a make install? I don't see any. I'm confused | 06:08 |

| racarter | does anyone ever stare at their terminal for long periods of time? | 06:09 |

| natnayr89 | hi, i get the error of "SYSLINUX, Could not find kernel image: Linux" when i try to boot Windows XP. Earlier accidently set syslinux to configure my windows OS partition. Now i cant load Windows. | 06:15 |
| eseven73 | Guest64260: you can search google for an enemy territory .deb those usually work pretty good | 06:15 |
| Guest64260 | any one here know how to get wolfstein enemy territory for linux | 06:15 |
| racarter | i don't know, i don't have an ipod on me right now | 06:15 |
| erisco | soreau, one of the blurry things was the applications menu. I opened it and hit auto, it cleared up, and the rest of the blurry patches are gone | 06:15 |
| erisco | soreau, still weird... | 06:16 |
| lwizardl | Anacranom, ok thanks | 06:16 |
| Guest64260 | o thnx | 06:16 |
| eseven73 | np | 06:16 |

| eseven73 | Guest64260: hmmm maybe getdeb.net.net or just google it | 06:17 |
| Guest64260 | ok thanks alot | 06:17 |

| ubottu | impi wtf is a swear even if masked...: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:17 |
| impi | i know it is... thats why i used it | 06:17 |
| erisco | soreau, it has never done that in the past anyways | 06:17 |
| impi | i'm a bit frustrated | 06:17 |
| eseven73 | i can see that | 06:18 |
| primesuspeckt | linux will definitely frustrate you | 06:18 |
| nickrud | natnayr89, may I suggest you ask on the syslinux mailling list: I can pretty much guarantee you won't find someone here that will be able to answer that question: http://www.zytor.com/mailman/listinfo/syslinux | 06:18 |
| eseven73 | primesuspeckt: naaa thats the fun part of linux ;) | 06:18 |
| primesuspeckt | must admit...it is | 06:18 |
| primesuspeckt | i had nothing to do until i got on it | 06:19 |
| primesuspeckt | windows is now boring | 06:19 |
| natnayr89 | nickrud: ok thanks | 06:19 |
| nickrud | natnayr89, I wish you luck, it really sucks to lose access to an os like that | 06:20 |
| mike | mgobrien | 06:20 |
| Toes | primesuspeckt: how many commands do you use when doing stuff :( | 06:20 |
| Anacranom | lwizardl, my son has not got it yet, , sorry | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | What are 'rtnetlink messages'? (There is a manpage man rtnetlink but I do not understand its intention.) | 06:20 |
| === mike is now known as Guest43027 | ||
| primesuspeckt | lol....google is my main command. takes me hrs to do jus about anything | 06:20 |
| primesuspeckt | jus pretty much follow the directions from searches | 06:21 |
| impi | anyway instead of pointing obvious things out to me... can you please tell me what causes this or how to prevent this... | 06:21 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, my guess is they mean messages in /var/log/syslog relating to rtnetlink | 06:21 |
| primesuspeckt | i don't know what i'm doing...i'm new | 06:21 |
| lwizardl | Anacranom, no problem all I find are for redora (rpm) on the disc and ubuntu won't let me copy or open any files on the disc inside Ubuntu | 06:21 |
| primesuspeckt | but i got everything i need pretty much working solid....after about 6 days now | 06:21 |
| Toes | primesuspeckt: what if someone posts a set of malicious commands on the net, then google bombs them so they show up high in the results for common problems :( | 06:21 |
| Anacranom | lwizardl, convert to .deb? | 06:22 |
| nickrud | primesuspeckt, you lucky dog, it took me months to get a well working system years ago :) | 06:22 |
| Toes | primesuspeckt: be afraid.. they are all out to get you :( | 06:22 |
| lwizardl | Anacranom, it won't let me copy direct from the disc unless I do it from terminal as sudo. but I completely doubt that maya installer is only 12mb | 06:23 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Thank you for your information. | 06:23 |
| nickrud | impi, did you try sudo eject? | 06:23 |
| primesuspeckt | hopefully that's not the case....most people using linux and posting the directions tend to be good natured....and for the growth of linux | 06:23 |
| v_ | hello | 06:23 |
| primesuspeckt | something like that would hurt it | 06:23 |
| eseven73 | lol nickrud old skool linuxer eh? I was almost hooked on linux back in the red hat 5.2 days, but i got skerred and ran back to windows lol, then came back to linux when Ubuntu 7.04 hit , havent looked back since :) | 06:24 |
| impi | nickrud: mhmmm... i already said i did :) | 06:24 |
| C0nn0R_ | Finished reloading moblock old blocklists. | 06:24 |
| nickrud | impi, the usual reason you can't unmount a cdrom is because you have some process still open to a file on the cd | 06:24 |
| C0nn0R_ | Since the current ones are total nazis. | 06:24 |
| Toes | :( | 06:24 |

| nickrud | impi, I've had little luck with force; lsof | grep /dev/cdrom* has been my saviour over the years | 06:27 |

| worldcitizen | or rather, any good alternatives? | 06:30 |
| eseven73 | Amarok maybe? | 06:30 |

| fuertesfj | Paddy_EIRE - ive used ubuntu b4 i even have it in an external hard drive for my desktop | 06:31 |
| MenZa | impi: It's the same thing on Windows. If an application locks the CD drive, then you can't eject it | 06:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | fuertesfj, you run ubuntu from an external usb hdd... heh that must be slow D: | 06:31 |
| nickrud | impi, I don't kill them, I close the connection. usually it's cuz I have a shell open on another desktop <-- see elkbuntu spelling changes ;) | 06:31 |

| MenZa | v_: Try checking the 'help' menu in Ekiga, or see http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Main_Page | 06:32 |

| treyk4 | I'm having a problem installing ubuntu. After choosing either the install or the try ubuntu option, it loads for a bit, but then comes up with an error message that it repeats every 7 seconds or so: "[122.849374] end request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1424592 \n [122.849458] Buffer I/O erroron device sr0, logical block 356148 | 06:35 |

| OxDeadC0de | treyk4 sounds like a bad cd | 06:36 |
| treyk4 | OxDeadC0de: i doubt it, this is the 2nd copy i've made | 06:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | treyk4 maybe bad iso? how'd you download it | 06:37 |
| rww | treyk4: there should be an option in the boot menu to verify the CD | 06:37 |
| fuertesfj | Paddy_EIRE - it has touch screen technology that has become useless with ubuntu and so has the fingerprint recognition | 06:38 |
| OxDeadC0de | sr0 is cdrom I'm almost positive about that.. so it's a problem with either your drive, the media, or the image | 06:38 |
| OxDeadC0de | treyk4 /|\ | 06:38 |
| treyk4 | rww: i've already tried that, no problems with it. | 06:38 |
| rww | treyk4: if that fails, verify the MD5 of the .iso you downloaded, and try burning at a slower speed | 06:38 |
| eseven73 | treyk4: try burning the iso slower if you havent already been down that road | 06:38 |
| rww | treyk4: it passes that? hmm | 06:38 |

| MenZa | GodfatherofEire: Which player are you using? | 07:07 |

| fuertesfj | do you live in america, if you do, would you advise i go to tiger direct to see if the can extract any info. | 07:08 |
| MenZa | That does sound rather weird... I remember there's a program that'll capture the keypress code, which you can use to set actions for in a config file... but I forget what it's called, let alone how to use it properly. Sorry. :( | 07:08 |

| MenZa | vjacob: What do you mean? | 07:35 |
| aero1 | good point, let me check | 07:35 |

| Mez | do1mps: or just edit the sound in something like audacity, and change the preferences to a new sound :D | 07:35 |

| aero1 | yes it does, do you want to see it? (where do I paste it?) | 07:36 |

| Clark3934 | but I am a *nix noob | 07:38 |
| aero1 | Seveas, the drive works perfectly in vista | 07:38 |
| gralco | MenZa since the package is just in development should it still say that I'm using the 1.1.11 release? | 07:39 |
| aero1 | Seveas, As a matter of fact I usually reboot to vista to use it | 07:39 |
| narzy | Clark3934: Good luck, I was smoking the christmas tree the whole time I did it... | 07:39 |
| theatrus | aero1, its quite possible only a portion is broken | 07:39 |
| MenZa | gralco: Er, what do you mean? | 07:39 |
| aero1 | Seveas, could it be because it's NTFS, and the drivers kinda stink? | 07:39 |
| vjacob | seveas: what do u mean? | 07:39 |
| cdt | hey am new to this what going on | 07:39 |
| Seveas | vjacob, you just said you reload kernel modules. The only good reason to do that is needing special arguments to modprobe | 07:40 |
| theatrus | aero1, i.e., the part windows is contained on currently has no media defects, but the part linux is on is messed up - try a disk test utility, seagate has a good one for their disks | 07:40 |
| gralco | MenZa the last release I used was 1.0.1 and it says that under 'about' and still says that after I ran the './configure' file | 07:40 |
| aero1 | theatrus, any time I try to copy to it, anything larger than 100mb, there is a high chance that it will hang after 200mb or so, this ALWAYS happens, and this NEVER happens in vista | 07:40 |
| narzy | Clark3934: start here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 07:40 |
| MenZa | gralco: Where is the output of your terminal? | 07:40 |
| gralco | MenZa: no its in the wine configuration area | 07:40 |
| aero1 | Theatrus, my vista/ubuntu are on the same drive in my laptop, I am trying to write to an external drive, which is locking up in ubuntu after a certain number of mb (always random) regardless if it's one file or lots of small dirs | 07:41 |
| kalvin_ | hello, im new to linux, i just recently installed 8.10 and im trying to run this vmplayer, but for some reason when i click on the icon, it doesnt work | 07:41 |
| narzy | that tutorial got it working for me | 07:41 |
| error404notfound | anyone here has experience with using preseed configuration to install ubuntu on multiple machines? | 07:41 |
| Seveas | aero1, no, this is a 'hardware error' (which could be hardware driver bug, but not filesystem driver bug) | 07:41 |
| vjacob | seveas: perhaps, however I do nnot think I need special arguments | 07:41 |
| vjacob | do you? | 07:41 |
| baber | MenZa: when i typed sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gpc * this error appear http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=ulwch | 07:41 |
| Seveas | vjacob, then you should not need to reload those modules | 07:41 |
| vjacob | seveas: not even if the harddrive was inserted after boot? | 07:42 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, I've done a bit of that, its somewhat a pain to figure out what preseed values you can actually use | 07:42 |
| Mez | baber: is soemthing else running (system updater, or similar) | 07:42 |
| vjacob | and it's not automatically detected in kernel (according to dmesg) ? | 07:42 |
| Seveas | vjacob, no. Should be autodetected | 07:42 |
| Clark3934 | narzy: I will start there. Will it effect me much that it's from 2006? | 07:42 |
| error404notfound | theatrus: that's exactly what I think :P | 07:42 |
| narzy | no | 07:42 |
| Seveas | vjacob, if autodetection is broken you have an entirely different problem :) | 07:42 |
| narzy | just means they figured it out 2 years before we did | 07:42 |
| Clark3934 | ok | 07:42 |
| vjacob | seveas: only thing is, it's not | 07:42 |
| Clark3934 | haha | 07:42 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, you can use debconf-getselections to dump out a preconfigured machine | 07:42 |
| vjacob | well then :) | 07:42 |
| vjacob | that's why I'm trying to do this the ugly way | 07:42 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, and then try to use similar values as d-i values | 07:42 |
| error404notfound | theatrus: well my issue is that I want hostname to be entered manually at install time as well as one user account. Also I want sources.lst to use a localserver instead of ubuntu mirros... | 07:43 |
| narzy | bookmarked that page... :) | 07:43 |

| theatrus | sfuentes, some code can execute faster in 64bit mode | 07:48 |
| sfuentes | err no advantage | 07:48 |
| Seveas | sfuentes, no noticeable advantage. In fact x86_64 is slower than x86 on the same clock speed | 07:48 |
| sfuentes | :/ | 07:48 |
| theatrus | Seveas, thats not universally true | 07:49 |
| Seveas | theatrus, on a proper architecture that wouuld be true, not on x86_64 :) | 07:49 |
| saler | Flannel, did u use rtorrent before | 07:49 |
| markus | hi... | 07:49 |
| theatrus | the bigger constraint usually ends up being memory bandwidth | 07:49 |

| theatrus | Seveas, not in my experience | 07:51 |
| sfuentes | what's the point of making a Turion64 chip then? | 07:51 |
| steve198424 | wil that still work with an intel board and intel 64bit processor | 07:51 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, iirc that won't override the default entries, so it could be using both | 07:51 |
| do1mps | get i any chance to gparted can create a NTFS-Formatted Partition? Ubuntu 8.10 can write to my WIndows-Partition, but gparted seems it cannot create it (it is in the List, but greyed out). Did i just miss a Packet to install? | 07:51 |

| Seveas | theatrus, in mine it is (40G+ mysql instance, which we keep mostly in cache with 32G memory) | 07:51 |
| steve198424 | ok thankyou | 07:52 |
| theatrus | steve198424, its just called amd64 since AMD was the first to produce that extension | 07:52 |
| error404notfound | theatrus: hmm, then culd you please explain the cure, I didn't really get it.. | 07:52 |
| Seveas | sfuentes, marketing value :) 64bit is the future | 07:52 |
| steve198424 | ok can i ask one more thing | 07:52 |
| Seveas | theatrus, that's one thing the rpm distros did better, they call the arch by its official name: x86_64 :) | 07:52 |
| theatrus | Seveas, my 100GB postgres instance is quite happy with its 32GB machine :) | 07:52 |
| vjacob | solved it. it seems I misunderstood the BIOS options, and that there was one more sub-menu of boot devices to choose of. | 07:53 |
| steve198424 | i am running older version of 8.10 now before i restarted all of my external drives and sata's were working now it wont mount anything any advice?? | 07:53 |
| theatrus | Seveas, but I agree with you on pointer memory in relation to Java | 07:53 |
| markus | looking for support on eee pc- installing w-lan on eee 900 | 07:53 |
| Seveas | steve198424, look in dmesg for errors. Pastebin specific errors | 07:53 |
| steve198424 | ok | 07:54 |
| sfuentes | so its true that 64bit cpus take up more memory? | 07:54 |
| theatrus | Seveas, which basically makes bloated java apps into super bloated java apps | 07:54 |
| Seveas | sfuentes, cpu's don't consume memory | 07:54 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, yes, 64bit applications can and probably will consume more memory, it may not matter to you however | 07:54 |
| realengin | Anyone who knows a free program for working with flash in ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, if your machine has less than 4GB of ram and you intend to keep it that way, just install the 32bit version | 07:55 |
| sfuentes | theatrus: why would it not matter? | 07:55 |
| markus | anybosy can help me to get the file rt2860sta-dkms_1.8LK_all.deb ?? | 07:55 |
| Seveas | sfuentes, on a 64bit machine, a pointer is twice as large as on 32bit machines. Thus apps that use many, many pointers (java example from theatrus) will be bigger | 07:55 |

| error404notfound | theatrus: okay, got it... any idea about account and hostname? | 07:56 |
| sfuentes | sounds like 64bit sucks for laptops | 07:56 |
| Sa[i]nT | markus, http://download284.mediafire.com/5elis9sln93g/jfrgzemgnjz/rt2860sta-dkms_1.8LK_all.deb | 07:56 |
| MenZa | sfuentes: Depends on the laptop. | 07:56 |
| steve198424 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/94892/ | 07:56 |
| sfuentes | since most laptops have less than 4gigs | 07:56 |
| markus | ich komme auf den genannten link leider nciht drauf. | 07:57 |
| steve198424 | i just pasted it all cuz i dont know what specific errors your looking for | 07:57 |
| sfuentes | i should have researched this before :( | 07:57 |
| sfuentes | will have to reinstall | 07:57 |
| Seveas | sfuentes, with windows vista that changed to laptops having at least 3G. Maybe windows 7 will force you to have 4+ G and a 64bit machine :) | 07:57 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, its not going to break anything | 07:57 |
| sfuentes | Seveas: yeah i see that its inevitable that laptops will have 4gig+ of memory | 07:58 |
| markus | mediafire laeuft hier nicht. | 07:58 |
| markus | sitze bin china... ist der greatwall grund dafuer? | 07:58 |
| Seveas | !de | markus | 07:58 |
| sfuentes | theatrus: i only have 512megs of memory ... thats why i installed xubuntu | 07:58 |
| markus | sorry .. | 07:59 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, you can set default account password info, lemme paste it | 07:59 |
| sfuentes | trying to conserve my ram | 07:59 |
| do1mps | Markus: Hier wird englisch gesprochen, für deutsche Hilfe gehe zu #ubuntu_de - und ja, es könnte die große Firewall sein. | 07:59 |
| error404notfound | theatrus: nope, I want it to prompt for a new account and hostname... | 07:59 |
| Seveas | hmm, 64bit machine and 512 meg? Which manufacturer is that insane? | 07:59 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, oh hmm | 08:00 |
| theatrus | error404notfound, that one I'm not familiar with | 08:00 |
| steve198424 | how can u run anything on a 64bit machine with only 512 | 08:00 |
| sfuentes | Seveas: lol Gateway | 08:00 |
| sfuentes | its a hand-down laptop | 08:00 |
| steve198424 | lol gateway is cheap | 08:00 |
| sfuentes | can't complain when its free! | 08:01 |
| steve198424 | whats the max ram it can run | 08:01 |
| sfuentes | 2gigs | 08:01 |
| steve198424 | theatrus, did u get that pastebin i put in | 08:02 |
| sfuentes | so im going to eventually upgrade to 1.5 gig | 08:02 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, if you can, you might as well put a 32bit version on it, but if stuff is smooth sailing you can ignore it for now | 08:02 |
| sfuentes | theatrus: i was starting to play with gwt today when i came across this 64bit problem with java | 08:03 |
| steve198424 | does anyone here have any comments (good or bad) about the intel core 2 duo e 7200 | 08:03 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, well, anything Java is a memory hog overall :( | 08:03 |
| ]L[iNu]X[ | we giorno | 08:03 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, you can use a 32bit JVM | 08:03 |
| Arelis | Hello people. I have had a mac for about one year now and have previously been using Ubuntu. I have stopped using Ubuntu because the sudden problems it caused were eating away my time. They were hardware problems, from my other pc. I want to try out Ubuntu on my Mac, see how it goes there. But i do not want to damage anything, that means no dual boot. Something like Wubi. How do i install ubuntu safely? | 08:04 |
| sfuentes | theatrus: you are right ... but seems like 64bit in my case seems completely useless | 08:04 |
| sfuentes | or pointless i should say | 08:04 |
| theatrus | sfuentes, yeah, pretty much | 08:04 |
| narzy | anyone ever set up afp on ubuntu? | 08:04 |
| lintunen | Does anybody have any advice on how to stop kernel packages getting upgraded via automatic update (aside from un-ticking the box every time) ? I've tried locking in Synaptic but they still get overridden. | 08:05 |
| narzy | better yet a VPN? | 08:05 |
| hfmls | hi | 08:05 |
| theatrus | narzy, VPN client or server? | 08:05 |
| narzy | server | 08:05 |
| frybye | hi when trying to run vuze 4 for the first time i see in the terminal that i need to get a newer swt.jar for my amd64 pc.. when I get it will it be enough to put it just in /usr/share/jave or do i need to copy it to the 3 other locations that the old version shows up at?? | 08:05 |
| Arelis | Anyone? | 08:05 |
| sfuentes | theatrus and Seveas: thanks for the valuable info | 08:05 |
| hfmls | anyone using kaffend with dvb? want to know how to getthe best quality with codecs and so. please. | 08:06 |
| narzy | L2tp over ipsec | 08:06 |
| frybye | e e e /java .. sorry.. | 08:06 |
| steve198424 | does anyone here have any comments (good or bad) about the intel core 2 duo e 7200 | 08:06 |
| Sa[i]nT | Arelis, Get a real computer. | 08:06 |
| theatrus | Arelis, you could use Wubi on Windows | 08:06 |
| Arelis | Sa[i]nT: Gee, thanks for the support. I have a mac now. | 08:06 |
| theatrus | Arelis, or use VMWare Fusion (i believe it will run on that) | 08:06 |
| lockwood_dev | the e7200 is fast enough | 08:06 |
| Arelis | will be a lot slower, right? | 08:06 |
| Computech | someone know what the name was of that virtual computer programm for linux? | 08:07 |
| theatrus | Arelis, certain things, yes | 08:07 |
| grayhane | what program to use in place of the F Spot program that is loaded by default ? | 08:07 |
| theatrus | Computech, VirtualBox? VMware? kvm? xen? | 08:07 |
| Arelis | VirtualBox | 08:07 |
| Sa[i]nT | Get Qemu | 08:07 |
| Computech | theatrus, whats the best one from then (exept vmware) | 08:07 |
| hfmls | guys how do i mount a ntfs partition? | 08:07 |
| theatrus | Computech, ease of use, virtualbox | 08:07 |
| rww | !ntfs | hfmls | 08:07 |
| ubottu | hfmls: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 08:07 |
| Computech | does virtual box have some kind of support for 3d games? | 08:08 |
| theatrus | Computech, for server virtualization, kvm is easier to adapt (i.e., no special kernels) | 08:08 |
| hfmls | !ntfs-3g | 08:08 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 08:08 |
| theatrus | Computech, if you're trying to do games, you should try WINE | 08:08 |
| Computech | theatrus its just for home use :) | 08:08 |
| Computech | nah its not for games | 08:08 |
| theatrus | Computech, check their application support index | 08:08 |
| Computech | but i was just asking | 08:08 |
| MenZa | Computech: I wouldn't count on it. !wine is your best bet. | 08:08 |
| treyk4 | is there any way to easily view a jfs partition from windows? | 08:08 |
| theatrus | pretty much any full virtualization thing basically doesn't pass through 3d | 08:08 |
| Computech | MenZa, ok | 08:08 |
| theatrus | with the exception of VMware 6.5 | 08:09 |
| theatrus | and then only barely | 08:09 |
| Computech | theatrus, i c | 08:09 |
| lockwood_dev | virtual box 2.1 does 3d | 08:09 |
| Computech | does virtualbox have some kind of virtual machine drivers to? (like vmware does) | 08:09 |
| MenZa | What do you mean, Computech? | 08:09 |
| theatrus | WINE does a pretty good job at 3d Windows apps, so if the application can run on that its your best bet | 08:10 |
| rww | Computech: like VMWare Tools? yes | 08:10 |
| Computech | rww, ok | 08:10 |
| alaqsory | salamu alikum | 08:10 |
| Computech | MenZa, i ment what rww said | 08:10 |
| hfmls | using gksudo ntfs-config, i chose mount, and then it says an error ocorred | 08:10 |
| do1mps | Computech: Its as easy as vmware, works good for me | 08:10 |
| Computech | k i go try virtual box | 08:10 |
| nibbler | virtualbox has a very nice seamless mode | 08:10 |
| alaqsory | I have a problem with a program called aptoncd | 08:10 |
| Computech | nibbler seamless? | 08:10 |
| frybye | hi when trying to run vuze 4 for the first time i see in the terminal that i need to get a newer swt.jar for my amd64 pc.. when I get it will it be enough to put it just in /usr/share/java or do i need to copy it to the 3 other locations that the old version shows up at?? | 08:11 |
| MenZa | Computech: meaning, you can run your Windows applications, seemingly on your Ubuntu box; e.g. hide your desktop and just show the windows. | 08:11 |
| nibbler | Computech: just gives you the windows taskbar into your linux desktop, and nicely integreats windows-windows into your desktop | 08:11 |
| Computech | Menza, oh thats nice | 08:11 |
| alaqsory | when i click on the create an error message appears | 08:11 |
| nibbler | actually just sets windows desktop to transparent i think | 08:11 |
| alaqsory | it is FATAL -> Failed to fork. | 08:11 |
| Computech | i go try that nibbler | 08:11 |
| nibbler | i use it for my pokersites.... | 08:12 |
| bullgard4 | man iproute: "At least, the options CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV (or CONFIG_RTNETLINK) must be compiled into the running kernel." But they are not in my Ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.6.24-22-generic. Why are they not compiled in? | 08:12 |
| ReXiO | Hi, I have Installed XP after Ubuntu and now grub is gone... I follow instructions at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD but I receive an error on the last command , what to do? =( | 08:14 |
| nibbler | ReXiO: normaly you do it the other way around... | 08:14 |
| theatrus | bullgard4, what makes you think they're not? | 08:14 |
| alaqsory | any one help me, I loaded many packages and want to take a copy of them | 08:15 |
| bullgard4 | theatrus: I do not think. I have checked it. | 08:15 |
| MenZa | alaqsory: Try dpkg --get-selections >> packages and save the file 'packages'; it contains a list of your packages | 08:16 |
| hfmls | i cant mount my ntfs :S dunno whats happening | 08:16 |
| ReXiO | nibbler: which way? | 08:17 |
| MenZa | alaqsory: I forget the command to deploy the packages, though | 08:17 |
| alaqsory | MenZa i will try and will tell you the result | 08:17 |
| nibbler | ReXiO: first xp, then linux. as xp isnt aware of anything else but micrsoft, but linux cares... but it can only care if its bootloader isnt externally overwritten :) | 08:17 |
| MenZa | alaqsory: The result should just be a list of packages you have installed | 08:17 |
| SkiiBum | hey, how do I change totem audio output to my headset? | 08:18 |

| Computech | theatrus, in the settings of a virtual machine in virtual box there is an option, enable 3d :) | 08:18 |
| alaqsory | yes it is | 08:18 |
| ReXiO | nibbler: heheh , yeah, but I tought I dont need windows, now I want to restore GRUB any help? | 08:18 |

| alaqsory | but how can i take a copy of them | 08:19 |
| bullgard4 | theatrus: I have filed > 20 bug reports to Launchpad. Some of them are now almost 2 years old and have not been fixed. | 08:20 |
| theatrus | bullgard4, and from what I see netlink hasn't been an optional part of linux since like 2003 | 08:20 |
| war | hello | 08:20 |
| hfmls | forced the mount. its ok now | 08:20 |
| hfmls | does anyone knows if its possible to use newcams with kaffeine | 08:21 |
| nibbler | newcams? | 08:21 |
| hfmls | newcamd | 08:21 |
| bullgard4 | theatrus: What do you mean by "be an optional part of Linux"? | 08:21 |
| war | i think by operating systems | 08:22 |
| theatrus | the option is not required | 08:22 |
| theatrus | and in fact the ip utility works just fine here, on a stock intrepid kernel | 08:22 |
| ia | hello. i've tried to compile custom kernel by this note - http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2008/10/28/how-to-compile-a-custom-kernel-for-ubuntu-intrepid , but i've got error message - "get_debug_info: Can’t create a handle for a new debug session. // makedumpfile Failed.". (see comment #26 - i have the same problem). could anybody tell me, please, how to solve this problem? | 08:23 |
| theatrus | and if its bothering you so much, feel free to define it and recompile your kernel | 08:23 |

| bakarat_ | since the crash also takes down my running VMs etc...it is VERY annoying | 08:33 |
| steve198424 | bakarat, sounds like a harddrive issue | 08:34 |
| steve198424 | hfmls, sounds like u just need to get a live cd and go from there | 08:34 |
| bakarat_ | steve198424, how can i make sure? | 08:34 |
| hfmls | my onboard graphic card is "made" to play hd movies with dxva, how can i get the best video settings in ubuntu? | 08:35 |

| hfmls | besides evertyme i play a video the screen flicks. | 08:38 |
| steve198424 | but what kind of hardware are you running | 08:38 |
| hfmls | i can i check if im gettind 3d acceleration | 08:38 |

| xun | "add the force_io=1 module parameter to thinkpad_ec in /etc/modprobe.conf (or your distribution's equivalent" | 08:39 |
| xun | I'm running ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, there is no modprobe.conf file, only "modprobe.d/" folder, and I couldn't find "tinkpad_ec" in there in any of the files. which file should I edit and how should I edit it? thanks for your help. | 08:39 |

| bakarat_ | steve198424, thanks :) | 08:40 |
| hanibana | any idea? | 08:40 |
| hfmls | do u guys know if theres an irc channel dedicated to dvb ? | 08:40 |
| steve198424 | bakarat, im researching | 08:41 |
| steve198424 | i dont think so hfmls, too complex | 08:41 |
| === sysscan is now known as mutagen | ||
| steve198424 | now maybe theres one for video software in general but not one that solely focuses on that one subject | 08:42 |
| hfmls | brb | 08:42 |
| === mutagen is now known as MU7463N | ||
| xun | so does anyone know? | 08:42 |
| jtaji | Xully: you could make a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and ut your required option in there | 08:42 |
| Clark3934 | I just set up samba per this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605) but my windows machines do not recognize the shares on my ubuntu server. what's a quick command to make sure samba is running? Will samba automatically start up if it restart my server? If not, how do i make it do that? | 08:43 |
| xun | jtaji: if the instrction says " "add the force_io=1 module parameter to thinkpad_ec in /etc/modprobe.conf (or your distribution's equivalent", what file should I make in there? | 08:43 |
| ReXiO | hanibana: are you using gpart? | 08:43 |
| jtaji | xun: the name shouldn't matter | 08:44 |
| hanibana | ReXiO: yes, but is it relevant?! I don't mean resize partitions or drives...! | 08:44 |
| xun | jtaji, i see. so only what's in the file matters? if so, in my case what should I write on the line? | 08:44 |
| jtaji | xun: /etc/modprobe.d/options might also be the apropriate file to add it to | 08:44 |
| hanibana | Just changin the size of my windows... | 08:45 |
| hhss2 | hhghjf | 08:45 |
| steve198424 | bakarat, your going to have to search more forums if i was infront of your computer i could maybe help more im sorry | 08:45 |
| steve198424 | youll figure it out | 08:45 |
| steve198424 | i gotta do this reformat ill be back in less than an hour | 08:45 |
| jtaji | xun: just guessing here based on the options file... 'options thinkpad_ec force_io=1' | 08:45 |
| hhss2 | hi | 08:45 |
| bakarat_ | steve198424, ok, thanks | 08:45 |
| eseven73 | Clark3934: not sure but you can try /etc/init.d/samba restart | 08:45 |
| xun | thanks jtaji, should I just add "thinkpad_ec force=1" or "tp_smapi force=1"? | 08:45 |
| eseven73 | Clark3934: and yes samba should start automatically at boot | 08:46 |
| Clark3934 | ok thanks! | 08:46 |

| pepperbob | Clark3934: you could try "testparm -v" and see if it produces any errors. | 08:47 |
| xun | jtaji, so should i still try to put thinkpad_ec in there first? | 08:48 |

| jim_p | TokenBad, i dont know how to express it. grub fools xp that their drive is 1st and linux 2nd. let me find a link | 09:23 |
| Kruxer | I wanna an application like Netsupport school in linux but the Open source one! | 09:23 |
| codecowboy | dangit: not specifically but I had that in my syslog yesterday. It wasnt a random gdm crash, it was a consistent gdm crash at boot after either installing virtualbox or the machine not shutting down correctly. fsck -y resolved it for me. see here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6454592#post6454592. | 09:23 |
| Kruxer | do any one know? | 09:23 |
| dangit | codecowboy, for me it just randomly happens when i'm working | 09:24 |
| jim_p | aaron_thenew, the driver for your wireless is inside the kernel, its named ath5k. can you please sudo modprobe ath5k and tell us if you get any errors | 09:24 |
| jim_p | Kruxer, what does netsupport do? | 09:24 |
| tu | hello | 09:25 |
| aaron_thenew | jim_p, i get FATAL: Module ath5k not founf | 09:25 |
| Kruxer | jim_p, It's for The server that you can control users with that like vnc! | 09:25 |
| codecowboy | dangit, my best advice would be to look into how to log the gdm process (or locate its logs) and post to ubuntuforums.org with the contents of those logs with a description of the problem (if you haven't done so already). | 09:25 |
| jim_p | aaron_thenew, uname -r and what ubuntu version are you on? | 09:25 |
| automatik | has anyone used a database with linux? | 09:26 |
| Kruxer | jim_p, but sometimes you can lock all computers and the users can look at your computer(server) | 09:26 |
| jim_p | Kruxer, there are tons of vnc aps in synaptic! from proper gtk to jaba based | 09:26 |
| jim_p | *java | 09:26 |

| amuro | vimix, dont have gparted installed here | 09:54 |
| stefodnb | nano was made to be a free clone | 09:54 |
| EgYPaRaDoX | type mount in the terminal.. | 09:54 |
| EgYPaRaDoX | it should display devices that are mounted.. | 09:54 |
| TokenBad | jim_p, will try...but have to reboot | 09:54 |

| Slart | mobile_madness: kind of like the difference between a Jeep and a SUV (bad comparison but it's the best I can think of atm) | 10:38 |
| mobile_madness | but what separates them apart | 10:38 |
| Nilesh | two cores? | 10:38 |
| mobile_madness | besides tht stupid intel thing | 10:38 |
| Nilesh | does it means 2 processors ? | 10:38 |
| Slart | 2 cores.. not 2 processors | 10:38 |
| mobile_madness | yes Nilesh | 10:38 |
| mobile_madness | dual core means a motherboard capable of supporting 2 processors | 10:39 |
| AMDMutant | ant! | 10:39 |
| Nilesh | yes my question is..... what do you mean by 2 cores ? | 10:39 |
| mobile_madness | if u got a Pentium D u definately have 2 processors onit | 10:39 |
| Nilesh | thanks mobile madness | 10:39 |
| mobile_madness | well .. 2 cores in the sense it can support two processors | 10:39 |

| ql | thanks | 10:40 |
| mobile_madness | yes correct | 10:41 |
| mobile_madness | Slart: i never said tht :) | 10:41 |
| mobile_madness | I said dual core means motherboard capable of supporting 2 processors | 10:41 |
| Slart | mobile_madness: "mobile_madness> dual core means a motherboard capable of supporting 2 processors" | 10:41 |
| MenZa | ql: try uname -a | 10:42 |
| mobile_madness | yes Slart its true | 10:42 |
| MenZa | I'm 2.6.27-7. | 10:42 |
| Slart | mobile_madness: I've got a quad core motherboard.. I promise there's no way I can put 4 processors on it | 10:42 |
| bullgard4 | What is a "rtnetlink message"? (See man rtnetlink) | 10:42 |

| Marinna | Buenos dias. | 10:49 |
| Marinna | ¿Alguien puede ayudarme? | 10:49 |
| samthetwohippman | once you unistall the gnome panel, you will not have anything to reinstall it with | 10:49 |
| astro2k | is there a way to make a backup? | 10:50 |
| Nilesh | Sometimes when i start my vlc player, it hangs and I have to restart my system to resolve this problem. | 10:50 |
| samthetwohippman | so you need to press cntr alt F2, and it will bring you to the terminal, and you can apt-get install the gnome panel | 10:50 |
| Nilesh | anybody came across such weird problem. | 10:51 |
| samthetwohippman | astro2k:_ yeah dd | 10:51 |
| astro2k | could my install cd be bad? it did the same thing when i loaded the live version | 10:52 |

| raboof | Heliodor: why not? | 10:54 |
| lillis | I have installed the latest ubuntu server dist on my iBook G4 (using the macppc version that is). Everything went easily. Then I installed xubuntu-desktop and launched it, which also went fine. It told me it had some (automated?) updates to isntall and gave me the option to reboot, so I did. But I was sent to blank(black) screen instead, and nothing happened. Couldn't bring up another shell with CTRL+ALT+Fkey or anything like that, so I chose to | 10:54 |
| archman | Heliodor: so better to always reinstall from scratch to be updated? | 10:54 |
| cebit | Should I install the Hardware Driver from Add/Remove programmes ? | 10:55 |
| lillis | Is there a way to get into soem sort of terminal/failsafe mode from yaboot? | 10:55 |
| Heliodor | archman: Yeah, you could try it though, but beware for broken packages | 10:55 |
| Slart | archman: afaik the LTS releases are no different than regular releases when it comes to upgrading | 10:56 |
| === EgYPaRaDoX is now known as Guest65956 | ||
| Heliodor | archman: simply change the source list to the dist you want to use and to a dist upgrade | 10:56 |

| Nilesh | <silv3r_m00n> - what error ? | 11:00 |

| ikonia | bullgard4: is it a driver messages ? | 11:09 |
| ubottu | Package libjack does not exist in intrepid | 11:09 |
| ikonia | bullgard4 isn't it something to do with a wirless card kernel module | 11:09 |
| archman | ikonia: libjack? 0.109 maybe? | 11:09 |
| Nilesh | which is better xubuntu or ubuntu | 11:10 |
| Nilesh | ? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | archman: the libs should come with jack should they now | 11:10 |

| Nilesh | i would like to know the advantages with xubuntu | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Nilesh: it has a smaller foot print | 11:10 |
| Nilesh | hmm | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Nilesh: xfce is a smaller/lighter requirement than gnome/ubuntu | 11:11 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: It is a term related to networking, not necessarily to wireless. | 11:11 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: I thought "rt" was a wirless kernel module, | 11:11 |
| clou | is the non ubuntu gnome "ubuntu-desktop-environment" faster than "ubuntu-desktop" ? | 11:11 |

| ikonia | clou: no | 11:11 |
| ikonia | clou: it's a theme nothing more | 11:11 |
| clou | the ubuntu gnome seems to me very slow when i compare it with other distros | 11:11 |
| ikonia | clou: I'll say it again - remove the packages you don't want/themese you don't want | 11:12 |

| lillis | how do i reach my main haddrive from the terminal launched from an install disc | 11:15 |
| ikonia | isle86 depends what version youc lient wants | 11:15 |
| lillis | i.e. how do i correctly mount it | 11:15 |
| ikonia | isle86: your "client" wants sorry | 11:15 |
| samthetwohippman | cebit:_ are you using intrepid? if so, then check out this webpage: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 if you are using an earlier version, then just replace the 810 with whatever version you are using. Read the whole thing very carefully, becuase it is easy to missunderstand parts of it. | 11:15 |
| isle86 | I need my computer to tell dyndns what is my dynamic ip associated to my dyndns domain name | 11:16 |

| cebit | 10x a lot ... just one more question .. what is intrepid ? | 11:17 |
| isle86 | ok, thanks | 11:17 |
| samthetwohippman | intrepid is version 8.10 | 11:17 |

| ikonia | archman: I meant the clean up process of the installer | 11:19 |
| archman | ok | 11:19 |
| peace | how to install programs if always they ask to put cd in cdrom..? - this is so annoying | 11:20 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin do you mean moveistorm as in moviestorm.co.uk | 11:20 |
| ikonia | peace go to system -> administation -> softwatre sources menu, and uncheck the "CD source" box | 11:21 |
| bazhang | peace, remove cd from sources.list | 11:21 |
| PokerFacePenguin | ikonia: yes | 11:21 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin that does not work on linux | 11:21 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin: it needs Windows or MacOS if you read teh requirments | 11:21 |
| PokerFacePenguin | ikonia: know of a similar program for linux? | 11:21 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin no | 11:21 |
| peace | ikonia im on kubuntu..can you tell me the same way for kubuntu? | 11:21 |
| PokerFacePenguin | ikonia: i did install it in a vm on win on my ubuntu box, but it acts kinda flaky | 11:22 |
| ikonia | peace no idea of the menu system for kubuntu, however if you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out he line that starts with "deb xxx cdrom" | 11:22 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin so ? | 11:22 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin: thats nothing to do with linux/ubuntu | 11:22 |
| peace | bazhang but i cant edit that file... | 11:23 |
| ikonia | peace once you have commented out that line with a # if you do a sudo apt-get update it should re-read that file and stop asking you for a cdrom | 11:23 |
| ikonia | peace: use sudo to launch and editor to edit ir, eg: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:23 |
| PokerFacePenguin | ikonia: remain quiet if you don't have something positive to say | 11:23 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin no - I'm explaining to you the facts | 11:23 |
| bazhang | peace, sure you can kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of cd entry then save and update | 11:23 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin: if you don't want to know the correct response don't ask the question | 11:23 |
| cebit | samthetwohippman it reads information about nVidia and ATI video support only ... but nothing about x3100 | 11:23 |
| PokerFacePenguin | ikonia: i was asking for help ...sue me | 11:23 |
| bazhang | PokerFacePenguin, please lose the attitude | 11:23 |
| cebit | And.. yes.. I do have the latest version of Ubuntu | 11:24 |
| ikonia | PokerFacePenguin: I'm just exaplining, it's not supported on linux as the website says, and a vm not performing isn't really linux/ubuntu's issue | 11:24 |
| samthetwohippman | cebit:_ go to this website: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/ it will help. I promise. Just type in the question that you have | 11:24 |
| samthetwohippman | cebit:_ x3100 what: who is the manufacturere? | 11:25 |
| peace | okay thanks it worked.. ikonia bazhang.. but it was possible only with the help of others :| | 11:25 |

| cebit | :) | 11:36 |
| bazhang | xserver-xorg-video-intel should be the driver you use cebit | 11:36 |
| samthetwohippman | What you should do is try another OS and if it still has the same problem, then it is the computer. you could have a problem with your laptop screen | 11:37 |
| lvr | what's the difference between "writable = yes" and "read only = no" in smb.conf? Can't add files to my fileshare from my winbox tho it's set "writable = yes" :-/ | 11:39 |
| samthetwohippman | cebit:_try a live cd, like kubuntu, or some other distribution like knoppix, and/or a few other distributions, and if the problem remains the same, you might have a hardware problem with your laptop. Should be under warantee still | 11:39 |

| samthetwohippman | cebit:_ just checking....you have plenty of ram to run a live cd. if the problem doesn't persist in the live cd, then, as bazhang said, you may have a bug in the driver. | 11:42 |

| dr_willis | KenBW22, xming is soo handy. I have my linux machines X apps showing up on the Windows desktop. :) or ya can do it fullscreen. or run a whole desktop | 11:47 |
| cyrusgod | :) | 11:47 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, yea.. ya sort of need a X server on windows to display the apps :) | 11:47 |
| stefodnb | looks fine dunno | 11:48 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: that makes sense | 11:48 |

| dr_willis | KenBW22, http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ seems to be an up to date site with info.. some other sites are a bit old | 11:49 |

| kop | is there a way to DL all the packages for 8.1 ? I'm heading for the land of no internet | 11:53 |
| MenZa | ...all the packages? | 11:53 |
| vlt | Hello. What is a reccomended file system for USB media sticks in a linux only environment? | 11:53 |
| kop | erm yes all.. | 11:53 |
| MenZa | vlt: ext3 is good. | 11:53 |
| MenZa | kop: That's a lot of data. | 11:53 |
| claus | Hi, I'm having problems to mount usb devices under 8.10. As soon as I connect an MP3 player, my usb keyboard stops working.How can I fix this? | 11:53 |
| dr_willis | vlt ext2/3 or if shareing btween different machines - could use vfat | 11:53 |
| kop | MenZa, better a lot than none | 11:53 |
| rww | vlt: ext2. ext3 has journalling, which increases the number of writes to disk which, theoretically, reduces the life of your USB stick. | 11:53 |
| dr_willis | vlt sort of depends on what youa re doing wih the sticks. | 11:54 |
| MenZa | kop: Still, you want to download every single package from the repositories? | 11:54 |
| rww | vlt: I'm not convinced by the anti-journalling argument, but I've heard it a lot, and I'm no expert *shrug*. | 11:54 |
| rufsketch1 | hey all | 11:54 |
| kop | It would take more than a few min to explain why but yes | 11:54 |
| dr_willis | You can get 2gb THumbDrives for $5 now. :) im not too worried about them wearing out. | 11:54 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: im a bit stuck with this xming | 11:55 |
| rufsketch1 | I am not an ubuntu user. but this comes closer to an ubuntu question than anything else. so I came here looking for help | 11:55 |
| rww | dr_willis: exactly. Plus I've never had a USB drive wear out. They usually die due to washing-machine-related issues | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, you did read the docs at http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ ? :) | 11:55 |
| rufsketch1 | I need info on how to compile a kernel that will allow fglrx to work | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | rww, Grandson tried to flush mine :) | 11:55 |
| bobbob1016 | I installed zfs-fuse, and I made a zpool and everything. I'm trying to share it via nfs, when I restart my nfs server, it says I need the right fsid, anyone know what that is? | 11:55 |
| rufsketch1 | ubuntu's kernel allows this | 11:55 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: kind of, theyre not very friendly | 11:56 |
| MenZa | kop: I really don't recommend doing this, but you can do sudo apt-get install * to install them. mind you, this is several gigabytes of data, and not all packages will be useful for you. o_O | 11:56 |
| rufsketch1 | and my distros does not for idealogical purposes | 11:56 |
| MenZa | kop: Godspeed if you do. | 11:56 |
| rufsketch1 | can someone point me in the right direction as far as kernel configuration goes? | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, install the packages.. run the xming wizard, connect to remote box.. unless thers somthing more specific ya want to do. | 11:56 |
| rww | rufsketch1: which Linux distribution are you using? | 11:56 |
| rufsketch1 | rww: sidux | 11:56 |
| KenBW22 | "run the xing wizard" - that wasnt shown to me | 11:57 |
| kop | MenZa, that is the crux of the issue I don't need all the pkgs but need to have them availible | 11:57 |
| vlt | dr_willis: I just want to the stick to share data between different ubuntu machines (and users). Could there be any problems when using ext? | 11:57 |
| kop | I just need to dl thewhole thing | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. last i used sidux they had some script/tool that set up the nvidia/fglrx stuff.. but then again.. you may want to try the sidux channels... | 11:57 |
| MenZa | kop: In that case, sudo aptitude download * | 11:58 |
| rufsketch1 | vlt: what problem are you having? | 11:58 |
| kop | that easy ? | 11:58 |
| MenZa | yup | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | vlt with ext2 it WILL keep ownership and permissions.. thus user bob may or may not be able to read/write user Bubba's files on that stick | 11:58 |
| MenZa | But are you sure you have the room for it? | 11:58 |
| rww | rufsketch1: Hmm. Try asking in the channel #ati (/join #ati) on this server. #ubuntu can't help with non-Ubuntu problems. | 11:58 |
| rufsketch1 | rww: ok, thanks | 11:59 |
| rufsketch1 | i'll try | 11:59 |
| kop | MenZa, this from an old BSD usr that had to deal w/ slo or no internet for months | 11:59 |
| vlt | rufsketch1: I want to put a file system on an empty USB storage stick and don't know which to choose best in a linux only environment. | 11:59 |
| MenZa | kop: still, this is terabytes of data we're talking about | 11:59 |
| * dr_willis dumped sidux for ' idealogical purposes ' | 11:59 | |
| dr_willis | vlt if just using it to transfer files and you want everyone to read them with no hassles.. vfat prioberly is the best bet | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | vlt if it messed up you can always try other fs's later.. not likt its hard to change them | 12:00 |
| kop | MenZa, TB I got connection I don't | 12:00 |
| * rww has never heard of sidux, but prefers distributions that give users the ability to satisfy their ideology, rather than requiring it | 12:00 | |
| MenZa | heh | 12:00 |
| MenZa | Good luck with it, kop | 12:00 |
| vlt | dr_willis: ok, thanks. I just thought there was a (usable) OSS alternative to vfat ... | 12:01 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: i think i have it right, but now it's trying to log in using username "Kenneth" when my username is "kenneth". i assume it's pulling that from the Windows machine. how do i override that? | 12:01 |
| rufsketch1 | rww: well, as it is. fglrx works with linux by acting illegally agains the gpl. so it's not hard to see why they don't wish to support it. that said | 12:01 |
| * rufsketch1 prefers distros with ridiculously good hardware support >_< | 12:02 | |
| rww | vlt: vfat or ext2. vfat has a 4GB file-size limit and no permissions, but is readable by non-Linux operating systems. ext2 doesn't have either of those limits but isn't Windows or OS X readable by default | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | vlt ext2 and 3 are useable.. but as i said.. a Linux native FS - WILL keep ownership/permissions - that may be a good thing.. or bad thing.. depending on your needs | 12:02 |
| rufsketch1 | rww: ati seems dead quiet :( | 12:02 |
| rww | rufsketch1: fglrx doesn't violate the GPL. The issues involved are complex and off-topic for this channel, though. | 12:02 |
| claus | what is the cause if an usb device is mounted only temporarily? | 12:02 |
| kop | MenZa, it's this or thumb drive by RFC1149 | 12:02 |

| claus | i just installed usbmount, but that doesn't seem to help. | 12:03 |
| rww | Enselic: does Ctrl-Alt-F2 work? Sometimes, F1 doesn't work for me but F2 does... I never bothered figuring out why. (I'm on 8.10 too.) | 12:03 |
| Enselic | rww: nope F2 fails too | 12:03 |
| dr_willis | Enselic, thers a xorg.conf option to disble it.. but Its not disbled by default. could be compiz is grabbing some key input.. but im not sure it can grab That combo. | 12:04 |

| zoed | Enselic: it looks at each installed package and then searches through the packages available through a repisotory | 12:06 |
| archman | how to get -dev of the program i'm installing from source? (i need new jackd for ardour, which i also want to build from source...) | 12:08 |
| archman | for dependency | 12:08 |
| riz0n | does anyone know of a way to convert URL files (the links used by Internet Explorer in Favorites) to files that can be imported into Mozilla Firefox bookmarks? | 12:08 |
| zoed | Enselic: I mean, the information of currently installed packages is available and the information of packages available in activated repositories is available, so somehow a command can combine them. | 12:08 |

| archman | hateball: my question is: if i install jackd via sources, will ardour scons recognize new jack? | 12:11 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: does this xming have a compulsory "donation"? | 12:11 |
| zoed | archman: maybe you should just upgrade from gutsy? | 12:11 |
| Enselic | zoed: I'm confused, but maybe you are looking for debfoster? Run that and it will ask you about packages you installed yourself | 12:11 |
| hateball | archman⚘ any reason you're still using Gutsy? | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, Not that i have ever seen.. and i jsut downloaded/installed it.. You do have to download it from the Sourceforge page - that other URL/docs has bad links. | 12:11 |

| dinar | how can i check cd burned from iso? | 12:16 |
| dinar | (but it is dvd burned with cd iso) | 12:16 |

| ikonia | archman: yes you can, as when you compile something it creates the libs as well as the binaries, no, as in when you use the make file to install it installs teh binaries as awell as the libs, you'd have to manually copy each lib into place | 12:17 |
| archman | tnx | 12:17 |

| claus | how do I know the exact location of the devices? they are a=) my usb keyboard and b) an MP3 player (/media/EMO). the mount would be /dev/>something>,though. | 12:21 |
| anh | hello | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, i like the terminal program 'terminator' :) its a multi-gnome-terminal app thats hand - saves me from having 3+ xterms open. | 12:21 |
| Jurgentje | Bossmanbeta: what exactly is the problem? | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, you can run putty and with the right putty options get apps X forwarded also.. but i just launch a xterm.. easier then using putty | 12:21 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: what's up with gnome-terminl? | 12:21 |
| KenBW22 | terminal* | 12:21 |
| archman | ikonia: so, by default make make install i do not have devel files installed on system? | 12:22 |
| ikonia | archman no you will install development libs, headers and binaries with that command, which will cause a miss-match which is why I'm saying you should never do that | 12:22 |

| Bossmanbeta | Jurgentje, it seems to import music fine from local directories, but it won't play any audio files.... though I can play mp3's fine in VLC and XMMS or Audacity | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, http://freshmeat.net/projects/gnometerminator/?branch_id=70626&release_id=268543 | 12:23 |
| dinar | now i am making iso file back from dvd | 12:23 |
| Bossmanbeta | Jurgentje, it's version 1.4.1 on Hardy... the program works fine, other than it won't play any of the audio files. I know it uses gstreamer, but other media players i run also use it, and they play the files fine. | 12:23 |
| dinar | with k3b | 12:23 |
| dinar | and then will check it | 12:23 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: gnome-terminal has tabs, no? | 12:23 |
| dinar | i tried md5sum /dev/cdrom but that has not matched | 12:24 |
| LordMetroid | !development | 12:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about development | 12:25 |
| archman | ikonia: devel libs? will they be recognized by scons (i'm trying to install new ardour2.7, which requires at least jack 0.109. (gusty is not supported); so i'm trying to pull it as much as it goes with gutsy, cause i love it, and i don't have any reason to upgrade, except this) | 12:25 |
| AMDMutant | dr | 12:25 |
| archman | ikonia: you say i should not install via sources either? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | archman: well thats a touch call | 12:26 |
| mrwes | hello ikonia | 12:27 |
| ikonia | archman: I would not advise doing what your suggesting, I would advise taking the distro forward to a more supported base system, as each application has a knock on effect eg: jack depends on $X, $X dpeends on $Y etc etc etc | 12:27 |
| ikonia | mrwes: hello | 12:27 |
| archman | ikonia: but isnt installing from sources used for this cases, when you have no other way? | 12:27 |
| archman | ikonia: yes...let me think of it... | 12:28 |
| ikonia | archman: well again, yes a no. It is a valid method if you know what you are doing and how to maintain your system and ensure no conflicts | 12:28 |
| ikonia | archman: I appriciate you have no other reason to move to hardy or intrepid, however if you move to a supported version or more active version you can request a package update | 12:28 |
| ikonia | archman: where as you won't get it for gutsy | 12:29 |
| dinar | imade cd iso back from dvd with k3b and checked it matched | 12:29 |
| ikonia | archman: does that make a little more sense ? | 12:29 |
| archman | yes, but.. | 12:29 |
| archman | :D | 12:29 |
| mrwes | ikonia : you think LTS will ever be more than 3 years for the desktop version? | 12:29 |

| Stavros | hello | 12:32 |
| Stavros | what does the slider called "stored in reserved extra space" do in usb-creator? | 12:33 |
| nbeebo | ive been trying for about 15 hours or more to install ubuntu without working cd, what could i do? | 12:33 |
| Stavros | nbeebo: why without a cd? | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, you can have a set of space reserved fpr persistant storage for the user to user that is saved to the card. for docs and so forth.. its handy. :) | 12:34 |
| nbeebo | stavros, cd drive isnt working | 12:34 |
| zoed | Stavros: it enables you to store changes in the ubuntu live system. e.g. you can boot the usb drive and then use add/remove to install new programs. If there is enough "reserved extra space", these apps will be saved. | 12:34 |
| Stavros | nbeebo: install it to a usb and install from there | 12:34 |
| zoed | you can also save stuff on desktop etc. | 12:34 |
| biberao | back | 12:34 |
| biberao | hello | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, i set mine to be 512mb for my casual user. :) | 12:34 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: yes, but what's stored there? what if i don't set anything to that? | 12:34 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: is it the size of the /home dir | 12:34 |
| Stavros | ? | 12:34 |
| biberao | i need to configure my xorg because i dont get a good resolution would anyone help me set my modeline and things like that please? | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, anything your user changes/adds is stored there. the thing makes a bootable live-cd thing with persistant storage.. basically. Not the same as a normal install | 12:34 |
| nbeebo | stavros, ive been trying bot i cant boot from it | 12:35 |
| Stavros | if i want to upgrade a package, does it get saved in this space, or in the rest? | 12:35 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: hmm yes, but you can still run apt on it and install things, no? | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, any extra installed packages go there also. | 12:35 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: so it makes sense to set it to as much as i can? | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, using apt-get update/upgrade may or may not cause issues.. since its NOT the same as a full install. | 12:35 |
| Stavros | hmm | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, yes. I set mine to fill up most all the thumbdrive | 12:35 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: ah, thanks... so if i set it to less, the rest of the space will just be unused and lost, i take it? | 12:36 |
| mrwes | dr_willis: how's the preformance on a usb? Better than a cd? | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, you may NOT want to run a 'update/upgrade' since that may take up a lot of space. | 12:36 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: ah, thanks | 12:36 |
| === mgjs is now known as mgs | ||
| dr_willis | Stavros, you can still mount the thumbdrive and access the space as vfat if you want.. or do like i do and use the TD. also for windows files. | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | mrwes, its useable.. but slow :) faster then cd.. MUCH faster to install. | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | mrwes, a lot depends on your thumbdrive | 12:37 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: ah, i see, so it leaves a vfat partition and formats what you specify as ext2, i take it | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | Stavros, it has a ext2 filesystem in a file | 12:37 |
| nbeebo | how do i install ubuntu from usb? | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | I think. :) | 12:37 |
| Stavros | oh, interesting | 12:37 |
| Stavros | dr_willis: thanks for your help | 12:37 |
| Stavros | ! | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | nbeebo, use unetbootin, make a bootable live thumbdrive.. boot. use install icon. | 12:37 |
| nbeebo | dr_willis, ive done that before didnt work ill do it again then thanks.. | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | nbeebo, or use that usb-boot cd from a 8.10 install. | 12:38 |
| leon | i have problem . desktop shell enviroment will get all var from .bashrc .bash_profile? | 12:38 |
| mgs | I have a problem regarding NFS shares. I have shared a directory, which holds a drive mount in it, ie. I've shared /data and one of the subdirs contains a drive mount from the fstab file. I can easily see the contents of the NFS share, until I try to browse the drive mount. Does anyone know a way to allow me to see the files on the drive mount trough NFS? | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | nbeebo, its worked here.. some issues are often with specific thumbdrives and geting them bootable.. | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | nbeebo, thers also docs at pendrivelinux web site on doing it manually. | 12:38 |
| mrwes | dr_willis so you can use the flash drive for installations? | 12:39 |
| Kelen | How can i go back before last upgrade of some packages with Firefox? | 12:39 |

| leon | i have problem . desktop shell enviroment will get all var from .bashrc .bash_profile? | 12:39 |
| nbeebo | dr_willis, how can I* | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | mrwes, with unetbootin you can take the alternative-installer cd and make a very fast installer thumbdrive | 12:39 |
| mrwes | dr_willis does it take a 'snapshot' of your current installation, or is it just the basic installation like the cd? | 12:39 |
| kop | Z for Zombie but ?? | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | nbeebo, i imagine thers not an issue.. its just a matter of getting the right installer files set up on it. unetbootin may be having a issue.. try the manual method at the pendrive site. or try booting a 8.10 live cd . and let IT make one.. | 12:40 |
| mrwes | dr_willis is there a link with a HOWTO on that? | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | mrwes, it uses the iso file. it does NOT clone your current install | 12:40 |
| mrwes | ok | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | mrwes, i install/run unetbootin.. run it.. point it to .iso and go! :) | 12:41 |
| nbeebo | dr_willis, i got no cd so i cant do that but ill make it manual when i have the power to... | 12:41 |
| mrwes | dr_willis that's gotta fly | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | nbeebo, try making the device from a different machine. :) friends or so forth.. if one machine has no cd. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | mrwes, i had to 'tweak' the thing to get it to use the nvidia drivers properly however. :) but thats life. | 12:42 |

| ranok | error404notfound: that's the command | 13:12 |
| error404notfound | ikonia: processes like pidgin,skype,firefox,evolution,twinkle... | 13:12 |
| ikonia | error404notfound kill them ? | 13:12 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: they are real time apps | 13:12 |
| ranok | ikonia: that's not helping | 13:12 |
| error404notfound | ikonia: hmm, but I am using them all... | 13:13 |
| Lasivian | How can I set ctrl-esc to bring up the application menu? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | ranok: its the truth, | 13:13 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: your reading email, im'ing, browsing the web, chatting on skype and installing vbox | 13:13 |
| ranok | ikonia: he's looking for how to dump the ram cache of the virtual memory, | 13:13 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: then you need more ram | 13:13 |
| ikonia | ranok: it won't be cache thats holding him up in my opinion | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | vbox loves ram. | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | :) | 13:13 |
| ranok | ikonia: the command I gave will flush everything to disc | 13:13 |
| ikonia | those apps are in use so won't be swapping out | 13:13 |
| error404notfound | ikonia: yup... see I am here as well... writing blog, checking mail, and on a call with a friend on skype... | 13:14 |
| ikonia | ranok: I don't think it will make a difference, but I'd be interested to see if it dos | 13:14 |
| ikonia | does | 13:14 |
| dado_pusing | ikonia : i was reload the php5 with a2enmod php5, but it doesnt work | 13:14 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: you need to buy more ram is the bottom line, as I disagree with (doesn't mean he's wrong) ranok that clearing your rams's cache will matter | 13:14 |
| ikonia | dado_pusing: did you restart apache ? | 13:14 |
| dado_pusing | ikonia : absolutely | 13:14 |
| onetinsoldier | dr_willis: i'm curious... how much ram is needed for smooth running vbox in your opinion? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | dado_pusing: what does the log file say | 13:15 |
| Lasivian | eesh, what id I wander into here | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | onetinsoldier, depends on what you are running in the vm. :) I normally use it to test out live cd's so i can get buy with giving the VM 512mb or so. | 13:15 |
| ranok | ikonia: it should, as the LRU policy is is share memory, even it it's not being used | 13:15 |
| * Lasivian protests with a big sign saying "FREE MORE RAM!" heh | 13:16 | |
| dado_pusing | ikonia : wait, i'll check it out | 13:16 |
| ikonia | ranok: I'm disagreeing - but as I said, I'm interested to know if it makes a difference | 13:16 |
| ikonia | ranok: certainly not stating it's a "fact2 | 13:16 |
| ikonia | " | 13:16 |
| onetinsoldier | dr_willis: i see. i might check out a vbox installed sometime so i was just wondering | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | every time ive ever seen someone try to 'tweak' linux ram ussage like they do in windows.. it never matters :) Linux is smarter about ram ussage then the users are. | 13:16 |
| dual | If I use top and pres Shift+M I get memory usage. Is there something similar for swap usage? | 13:17 |
| Lasivian | users should not need to know about ram management 99% of the time | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | Lasivian, one of those areas they all want to worry about. :) but shoudl really be focusing on other things | 13:17 |
| Lasivian | Amiga memory management comes to mind | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | I still have several amigas ;) | 13:18 |
| mrwes | I'm more worried about which wallpaper I'm going to use next | 13:18 |
| mrwes | heh | 13:18 |
| ranok | ikonia: I'm just saying that depending on how happy error404notfound's swap is | 13:18 |
| Lasivian | the Amiga managed memory better than any system i've ever seen | 13:18 |
| fraeon | dr_willis: I know a guy who still sells them | 13:18 |

| Major_Sam | i'm trying to install songbird, could someone help me with this? | 13:18 |
| ikonia | ranok: only one way to see | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | Fraeon, Ive sent several to people ive met on irc who wanted them :) | 13:19 |
| ranok | ikonia: that it might be advantageous to free up ram so vbox can take more | 13:19 |
| Lasivian | anyway, back to business. I want to make the "Applications" menu come up with "ctrl-esc", where might I edit this little tidbit? | 13:19 |
| Rec0 | erUSUL: I know but on which one would be the best solution | 13:19 |
| Fraeon | I think I still have an a500 somewhere | 13:20 |

| gmathews | Hello - in my BIOS should the Nvidia RAID be turned on for SATA? | 13:22 |

| Rec0 | my first HDD ist with my data (Primary Master) there is no system running on it... my second hdd is with ubuntu (primary slave)... and my third is with windows (secondary master) where should i install grub to??? if i'd install it on the windows partition the ntldr would be not working so should i setuo grub to ubuntu or the free disk?? | 13:23 |
| ikonia | Rec0 on the boot sector of the disk your machien boots first | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | :) | 13:24 |
| gmathews | ikonia: for some reason by turning it on - I am not getting a SATA Hard resetting link in dmesg | 13:24 |
| gmathews | otherwise I will get it every 10 minutes | 13:24 |
| ikonia | gmathews because it behabves different | 13:24 |
| ikonia | gmathews: disable it, you don't need it | 13:24 |
| Rec0 | well i can make it boot from evry possible disk | 13:24 |
| gmathews | ikonia: but If i disable it the error starts again :/ | 13:24 |
| Rec0 | but i think it cant boot from secondary can it?? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | gmathews do the erros cause you problems ? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | Rec0 depends on your motherboard | 13:25 |
| bodobacs | Help please! I added this line "user ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff" to sudoers file, but it doesn't do anything. Is it possible there should be activated somewhere? | 13:25 |
| gmathews | ikonia: it resets my SATA link - so that means a lock up every 3 to 4 minutes | 13:25 |
| ikonia | Rec0: it doesn't matter which disk it boots from as long as grub is on the mbr of the disk it DOES boot from | 13:25 |
| ikonia | gmathews your machine locks up ever 3 - 4 minutes ? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | gmathews: if you have your disks in "raid" move it is most probably your OS will not see the disks at all | 13:25 |
| gmathews | Dec 29 15:13:36 Open-Sourced-Machine kernel: [ 364.478156] ata4: SError: { PHYRdyChg LinkSeq TrStaTrns } - ikonia | 13:25 |
| Rec0 | ok then ill try to setup grub to my secondary | 13:26 |
| gmathews | that is the error i keep getting | 13:26 |
| gmathews | if RAID is OFF.. | 13:26 |
| ikonia | gmathews and your machine is locking up ever 3 - 4 minutes ? | 13:26 |
| gbear14275 | anyone here famliar with wmcrtrl... I am having some problems troubleshooting the "sticky" command within wmctrl and not sure where to go. | 13:26 |
| gmathews | i was ikonia yes | 13:26 |
| Lasivian | damn you people! you just ignore me long enough that I found the answer to my own question! slackers! </sarcasm> | 13:26 |
| gmathews | I mean ikonia : yes. | 13:26 |
| gmathews | ikonia: Now it is fine with RAID on - so I am assuming it is safe | 13:26 |
| ikonia | gmathews if running it in raid mode means you can see the disk and it stops the erros, do that, but I didn't think you'd be able to see the disks | 13:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Lasivian: lol | 13:27 |
| ikonia | gmathews: if it's working fine - leave it alone | 13:27 |
| Rec0 | i did find /boot/grub/stage1 and it gave me (hd1,0) so i have to set it as root right?? so the command would be root(hd1,0) | 13:27 |
| gmathews | okay looks like it is stable for now | 13:27 |
| bigcx2 | hey all | 13:27 |
| Rec0 | right? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | Rec0 sounds good | 13:27 |
| bigcx2 | does anyone know how to use http authentication with apt-get ??? | 13:27 |
| bigcx2 | does anyone know how to use http authentication with apt-get ??? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | bigcx2 do you mean over a proxy ? | 13:28 |
| Lasivian | is there an echo in heree? | 13:28 |
| Rec0 | so then i need to set it up so setup (hd1,0) | 13:28 |
| ikonia | Rec0 no | 13:28 |
| Rec0 | ? | 13:28 |
| gmathews | bigcx2: by setting your details in the preferences in Synaptic should be enough | 13:28 |
| bigcx2 | ikonia: no, just regular | 13:28 |
| gmathews | bigcx2: Your PRoxy accound details that is | 13:28 |
| ikonia | Rec0: no, that would be the same "PARTITION" | 13:28 |
| ikonia | bigcx2: none of the repos should need authentication | 13:28 |
| bigcx2 | ikonia: not using synaptic, just plain ol' apt-get | 13:28 |
| Rec0 | just setup (hd1) | 13:28 |
| Rec0 | ? | 13:29 |
| bigcx2 | ikonia: i'm using my own | 13:29 |
| ikonia | Rec0: better | 13:29 |
| ikonia | bigcx2: not sure | 13:29 |
| gmathews | bigcx2: I was using Ubuntu through a proxy and after setting the details in Synaptic - apt-get in terminal worked as well | 13:29 |
| Rec0 | ok then ill try it thanks a lot ikonia | 13:29 |
| bigcx2 | hm | 13:29 |
| Lasivian | is there a debug window or mode where I can see all the details of what i'm doing in X? | 13:29 |
| gmathews | bigcx2: otherwise u have to edit bash.bashrc and enter it there | 13:29 |
| Lasivian | I want to know what the OS is "thinking" in the background | 13:30 |
| bigcx2 | if i know what env. vars need set then i'll set them | 13:30 |
| bigcx2 | but i don't know what they are | 13:30 |
| gmathews | Lasivian: type dmesg | 13:30 |
| gmathews | bigcx2: let me find them | 13:30 |
| bigcx2 | gmathews: k thx | 13:30 |

| jrgp | hmm, ubuntu manual partitioning doesn't offer the option of resizing partitions | 13:33 |
| jrgp | anyway I can resize a few partitions manually without booting gparted? | 13:34 |
| jrgp | (in the install) | 13:34 |
| ikonia | jrgp install gparted on yoru system | 13:34 |
| lyrae | gmathews: it works | 13:34 |
| gmathews | lyrae: Sweet. | 13:34 |
| ikonia | jrgp: you can't do it if the partitions are mounted/in use | 13:34 |
| lyrae | gmathews: thanks | 13:34 |
| jrgp | I know that, I'm installing from the ubuntu boot cd | 13:34 |
| ikonia | jrgp so then you can use gparted on that cd | 13:34 |
| jrgp | ah, ok, I'll have to restart, boot to the cd again, and pick "try without any changes" then? | 13:35 |
| onetinsoldier | jrgp: clicking on 'edit partition' doesn't allow you to change you mind about the size? are you sure> | 13:35 |
| onetinsoldier | ? | 13:35 |
| jrgp | it doesn't let you move the partition around the disk | 13:36 |

| poomalai | hello friends, My sendmail program is too slow to send emails,.... Please help me | 13:37 |
| ikonia | poomalai areyou going direct onto the internet or relaying through your isop | 13:37 |
| DIFH-iceroot | poomalai: try #sendmail | 13:37 |
| ikonia | isp | 13:37 |
| gmathews | ikonia: is 'fsck -y /dev/sda5' the proper command to run for my NTFS partition in recovery mode? | 13:37 |
| ikonia | gmathews don't run fsck on ntfs, never with -y | 13:38 |
| gmathews | ikonia: how can i check it for errors then? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | gmathews: there is a tool (I can't reemmber it's name) to mark an ntfs partition as clean, but I never recommend it, boot into windows and use chkdisk | 13:38 |
| poomalai | ikonia, I am not sure what are you asking about.... I am using DSL connection and i am using dyndns | 13:38 |
| gmathews | Damn it I hate booting into windows... :/ | 13:38 |

| poomalai | Can u please suggest me how to setup sendmail... i am a newbie to both linux and sendmail | 13:39 |

| jrgp | on a system with 2gigs of physical ram, is a swap partition of 1gig good enough? | 13:40 |
| ikonia | Rec0: thats nothing to do with grub | 13:40 |
| Rec0 | ok | 13:40 |
| poomalai | Is there any other way? | 13:40 |
| ikonia | Rec0: ntldr is held on your windows partition, grub doesn't touch that | 13:40 |
| onetinsoldier | poomalai: setting up sendmail can be pretty complex. as DIFH-iceroot suggested, you might want to ask in the #sendmail channel, and do a lot of reading | 13:41 |
| Rec0 | maybe the mistake is in the menu.lst? | 13:41 |

| Lasivian | like the way X has a "keyboard shortcuts" setup | 13:50 |
| ikonia | earthen it is NOT stable | 13:50 |

| DIFH-iceroot | gmathews: ok, then sorry for my anwser, did not know that | 13:50 |
| gmathews | DIFH-iceroot: haha no worries mate :) | 13:50 |
| earthen | onetinsoldier, ikonia I know it's beta but does it crash every 5 min is what i want to know | 13:51 |
| ikonia | fulat2k is your home dir on a seperate partition | 13:51 |
| ikonia | earthen it does | 13:51 |
| ikonia | earthen: it is not in a stable state | 13:51 |
| fulat2k | ikonia, unfrotunately not. it's all in sda2 | 13:51 |
| ikonia | fulat2k then you need to wipe /dev/sda2 | 13:51 |
| onetinsoldier | earthen: it is a beta... but it is a very good and well behaving beta. no, it is very stable. it really is better than some final releases i've seen | 13:51 |

| drkop | gmathews: only? i have hardy | 14:17 |
| aslan | I have sound and it's fine, until I start listening to something with flash | 14:17 |
| onetinsoldier | saler: the lastest version is apparently 1.10... installed by sudo apt-get automake | 14:17 |
| abhi1 | <scunizi>i tried googling the answer,strange i din't get answer?maybe i should'nt have hided volume of drive? | 14:17 |
| aslan | then the sound from the local system doesn't work.. . no sound at all... | 14:17 |
| lvella | is the program mkntfs installed on live cd? | 14:17 |
| flo-isback | KevinK: in firefox search for about:plugins make sure t | 14:17 |
| aslan | and then if I try to start flash again sound doesn't work.... | 14:17 |
| aslan | I have to reboot to fix the issue. | 14:17 |
| aslan | I have tried restarting alsa as well as pulse and it still doesn't work. | 14:17 |
| gmathews | drkop: it is an additional feature during the installation of Intrepid where u can check it to auto log in - not sure what app you need for Hardy. | 14:17 |
| saler | onetinsoldier,wait :) | 14:17 |
| aslan | does anyone have ideas? | 14:17 |
| onetinsoldier | saler: but i don't think it hurts to install the various versions of automake that are available if you choose to | 14:18 |
| flo-isback | KevinK: make sure only one flash else could cause conflict | 14:18 |
| drkop | gmathews: are you talking about autologin as is or with etoken? | 14:18 |

| ikonia | fulat2k the check box is to enable/disable fomatting of the partition, if this is a system partition you need to format it | 14:19 |
| scunizi | abhi1, it's a switch in the gconfig editor you want to look for. there use to be a menu item called "alacarte" I believe that gave access to gconfig. Weird I can't find it in my Hardy install right now.. It's usually off the Applications menu and in Intrepid I believe it was moved to System/Admin and renamed it.. | 14:19 |

| Eli_Turk | onetinsoldier, Okay. Thanks. | 14:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Eli_Turk: all the other stuff is, i think, available for install into Ubuntu through Synaptic or apt-get | 14:33 |
| _Andrew_ | # | 14:34 |
| onetinsoldier | Eli_Turk: if you want.. i'll go through this with you step by step | 14:34 |
| Diiisk | sinbox: only on program at a time | 14:34 |
| baber | i installed gpc in ubuntu for pascal programing with this command i compile file gpc -c *.pas but i don't know with what command can run program after compile who can help me? | 14:35 |
| Eli_Turk | onetinsoldier, Wow. Okay then. I'm ready. | 14:35 |
| Venko | Can anyone help me? I'm trying to find the package which includes libboost_regex.so | 14:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Eli_Turk: ok, this will take us some time,and you have to be a little patient with me, as i am on a brandnew install here and i don't have hardly anything installed at all. we will have to be installing a number of things in order to get this to compile | 14:37 |
| Venko | I've already installed libboost-regex1.34.1 and libboost1.35.0 | 14:37 |
| Venko | No luck | 14:37 |
| Eli_Turk | onetinsoldier, Sounds ok to me. | 14:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Eli_Turk: ok, cool. i just downloaded wxRemind-100. let me unpack it | 14:38 |
| KevinK | flo-isback: The installation is telling me Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, | 14:38 |
| KevinK | or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): | 14:38 |
| sinbox | I've had that happen to me too Diiisk but then I didn't see that as a problem, have you checked that it is not just "some" program" which won't share the sound or is it the same with all of them | 14:38 |
| KevinK | I put in /usr/lib/mozilla but it says WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path. | 14:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Eli_Turk: dothe following, so there is no problem doing stuff as root user --> sudo -i ..then enter your password | 14:39 |
| jeltsch | Hello, anyone here who was successful in activating fglrx via jockey (the "Hardware Driver" app)? | 14:39 |

| Eli_Turk | onetinsoldier, I do that in the terminal? | 14:40 |
| Diiisk | sinbox: Well it's a problem, whenever i play MP3 on Audacious or Amarock I can no more hear skype or pidgin notifications :( | 14:40 |
| onetinsoldier | Eli_Turk: yes. we will be doing everything in the terminal | 14:40 |

| anarky97 | Hi, I'm having trouble installing the official nvidia driver for my gfx card. It won't activate, and when I reboot, x serv won't start, so I have to reconfigure it to basic settings, and that does no good. Any advice? My card is a 6600 | 14:41 |

Doing that maybe you can see what the last thing is that happens before things explode. Other than that, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/kern.log, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log could all potentially have something useful | 15:17 |

| haeger | how can i fix this? | 15:34 |
| Decepticon | is there some guide | 15:35 |
| Decepticon | !user | 15:35 |
| ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 15:35 |
| Decepticon | !sudo | 15:35 |
| ubottu | 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) | 15:35 |
| ikonia | Decepticon open the useradmin gui, add a user, then in groups drop him into the admin group | 15:35 |
| Decepticon | what is the useradmin gui | 15:35 |
| Decepticon | where is it | 15:35 |
| ikonia | Decepticon system -> administartion -> users and groups | 15:36 |
| Decepticon | oh i dont have a gui | 15:36 |
| Decepticon | this is my other computer | 15:36 |

| Xman | !pastebin] | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin] | 15:36 |
| Xman | !pastebin | 15:36 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 15:36 |

| ikonia | Decepticon then use useradd or adduser and put him in the admin group | 15:37 |
| Decepticon | how to put him in the admin group | 15:37 |
| bakermd | Okay - so update on my Cannot Boot from CF card issue -- If I take the device and plug it into another computer ... IT BOOTS PERFECTLY... ??!!?? So doggone confused now | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Decepticon use the commands I gave you | 15:37 |
| Decepticon | useradd to make a new user, but what command to add to admin group | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Decepticon read the syntax of the command | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: if you can't do this - you need to use the gui# | 15:38 |
| Decepticon | ok thanks | 15:38 |
| Jeruvy | sorry if this is the wrong channel, but is there some correlation between .NET and MONO? | 15:38 |
| ichbinesderelch | Decepticon: gpasswd -a username admin | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Jeruvy mono is an open source implimentation of .net | 15:38 |
| a-l-p-h-a | Anyone know how to enable font smoothing in java (jre1.6.0_11) ? | 15:38 |
| Decepticon | ichbinesderelch that takes care of adding and putting him into admin? | 15:38 |
| madsj | I have trouble with my wireless network; wireless networks are not being found, despite the driver (rt2860sta, ralink chip 2860) being loaded | 15:38 |
| Jeruvy | ikonia: ah I'll have to peek at that. thanks :) | 15:39 |

| madsj | using the gnome-network service | 15:41 |
| madsj | (in the gnome panel in the top) | 15:41 |
| Decepticon | there is no gui | 15:41 |
| ichbinesderelch | madsj: put the output of "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" in a pastebin pls | 15:41 |

| ikonia | Decepticon: why are you not reading it ? | 15:43 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: man userdel will show you the manual pages for userdel, likewise for man adduser and man gpasswd | 15:43 |
| Decepticon | ok | 15:43 |
| ikonia | crackintosh if it's not mounted it won't list it | 15:43 |
| cesar_bo | Hello, the reprepo package isn't on the intrepid repository, anyone knows why? | 15:43 |

| ASULutzy | Xman: I would direct this stuff at the channel though, not specifically me :) | 15:48 |
| Decepticon | i cant find anything on changing users | 15:48 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: It looks like your X server is not very happy at all | 15:49 |
| Xman | ASULutzy: sory to disturb u dude but i want to tell u that i saw something like infinite loop in the last file Xorg.0.0log | 15:49 |
| AJC_Z0 | Decepticon: You can test a new login account from another user's shell with "su - $user" or replace your shell with "exec login" and log in | 15:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | You can also switch to a VTY (CTRL-ALT-F2, etc.) and log in there | 15:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | In Gnome, you can try the user switcher | 15:51 |

| Decepticon | what did i do wrong | 15:51 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: I'm a bit busy | 15:51 |
| ikonia | Decepticon did you read the synatix for the command/ | 15:52 |
| Xman | ASULutzy: sorry to disturb u but i even don't no what to google. If u can tell me that i'll feel oblige | 15:52 |
| Xman | :) | 15:52 |
| Decepticon | no | 15:53 |
| Broly | Xman, maybe you should be using windows xD | 15:53 |
| ikonia | Decepticon why not? | 15:53 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: I've suggested that 4 times to you and you just keep going blindly | 15:53 |
| Decepticon | its a bit dense for me | 15:53 |

| Decepticon | what do you mean | 15:53 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: then contact the person who supports your box to admin it for you | 15:53 |
| Xman | Broly: i just use windows for gaming only and the other work is done on ubuntu | 15:54 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: That line about the infinite loop: EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Decepticon I meant your "remote" machine, sorry | 15:54 |
| Decepticon | he left, now i admin it... | 15:54 |

| mga | #ubuntu-es | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Decepticon then I suggest you contact the person and exaplin you can't admin it | 15:54 |
| Decepticon | its just this beginning part | 15:54 |
| Decepticon | i dont make users or add them to sudoers everyday | 15:54 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: What version of ubuntu are you using? | 15:54 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: lsb_release -a | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Decepticon pretty serious part, and if you can't understand the syntax at this level - it's unwise for you to continue on this machine | 15:55 |
| mshkaji | hi there! i need help on how to configure moodle database in ubuntu | 15:55 |

| xNler | killingman ? | 15:56 |
| Pici | Broly: Don't do that. | 15:56 |
| Broly | why not | 15:57 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: then look for something like "Intrepid EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. " Or ask others in the channel about this bug, there seem to be lots of other people experiencing similar issues | 15:57 |
| AJC_Z0 | Decepticon: Look at the output of "id -a" when adding a secondary group membership before and after login | 15:57 |
| ASULutzy | Broly: Because it's a support channel, not a LOLLERSKATES channel | 15:57 |
| Pici | Broly: Because its unneeded and only creates excess scrolling in this channel. | 15:57 |

| mshkaji | hi there! i need help on how to configure moodle database in ubuntu | 16:01 |
| Decepticon | well i logged out and logged back in and somedude, the new user, still cannot sudo without being told off that this incident will be reported | 16:02 |
| noiz | hi | 16:02 |
| norbert79 | Decepticon: Whom password do you use for sudoing? :) | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Decepticon if you read the syntax as I said you'll understand how to check the users group validity | 16:02 |
| Decepticon | norbert79, i use the password of the new user, somedude, that i created | 16:02 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/286792 looks like this bug is known | 16:03 |
| noiz | hehe i didnt know nowhere else to go whith my problem than here as this place always helped out | 16:03 |
| noiz | Is there absolutly any other way to open ports besides the router page? | 16:03 |
| norbert79 | Decepticon: I see... I was asking because it's a common error using the root's password | 16:03 |
| Decepticon | i looked at id -a for the user, and it seems to be the same stuff as my user, with some minor differences, so i dont understand why he cant sudo but i can | 16:03 |
| Decepticon | ikonia syntax of what command should i look at | 16:03 |
| norbert79 | Decepticon: Is the user listed in /etc/sudoerrs, or does it belong to the same group than your user? | 16:03 |
| noiz | because i cant acces my router page for some reason,it doesnt even ask me the password anymore, | 16:03 |
| noiz | or maby could you guys direct me to somewhere else i can get help? | 16:04 |
| Decepticon | norbert79 the user was added to admin group but is not in /etc/sudoers | 16:04 |
| Pici | noiz: Try ##networking | 16:04 |
| ichbinesderelch | Decepticon: in sudoers file, there is stated that all users in grp admin may have the right to use sudo | 16:04 |
| Decepticon | ichbinesderelch well its not working | 16:05 |
| norbert79 | Decepticon: /etc/sudoerrs is the file for handling SUDO... I don't know how yours is right now set, but check the content, maybe your default user was autmatically included | 16:05 |
| norbert79 | ichbinesderelch: Unless it has been changed | 16:05 |
| ASULutzy | Xman: I would consider not using the intel driver and using vesa for now, that should at least leave your machine in a working state, even if you can't get compiz or fancy 3d stuff to work | 16:05 |
| noiz | heh pici like ##networking is active | 16:05 |
| Pici | noiz: Your question is offtopic for #ubuntu, I'm just telling you what the proper channel is | 16:05 |
| gmathews | Good day - when running Ubuntu in recovery mode why is it that when I want to run fsck It says that /dev/sda6 is mounted - how do i run fsck theb? | 16:05 |
| {}zombie | use a live cd | 16:06 |
| norbert79 | gmathews: Start Ubuntu in recovery mode, or umount that filesytsem | 16:06 |
| noiz | yeah well ok iv found people who helped me even more offtopic than this on this channel but oh well this is not ym day:P | 16:06 |
| norbert79 | gmathews: if you cannot unmount it, go to recovery mode | 16:06 |
| ASULutzy | gmathews: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot should take care of it | 16:06 |
| gmathews | norbert79: what is the command for umounting it? sudo umount /dev/sda6? - this is the partition on which Ubuntu is installed | 16:07 |
| Skaag | I have a weird situation, an intel nic is in the system, I configure it via ifconfig, but I can't ping the gateway... the nic was replaced, even the motherboard was replaced... it loads to eth1 instead of eth0, and is an intel e1000 | 16:07 |
| norbert79 | gmathews: You have to go to recovery mode then | 16:07 |
| gmathews | ASULutzy: what does sudo touch /forcefsck do? | 16:07 |
| Skaag | mii-tool shows the link is active | 16:07 |
| norbert79 | gmathews: You cannot do a fsck on a mounted filesystem, (right now it is your /) | 16:08 |
| Skaag | I tried booting to an earlier version of the kernel, still nothing | 16:08 |
| ASULutzy | gmathews: Makes a file called forcefsck in the root directory which upon next boot, will tell the system to run fsck | 16:08 |
| {}zombie | can someone tell me how to change the mount point of my mp3 player? | 16:08 |
| gmathews | ASULutzy: does it only last one time - as in it will only run fsck after one reboot? | 16:08 |
| earthen | where can i find a good sorces list I need to change mine cause the can one's are really slow | 16:08 |

| Pici | earthen: System>Administration>Software sources can help you find a closer mirror | 16:09 |
| root_____ | norbert79 and gmathews you can fsck a mounted fs if it's mounted read only sudo mount -no remount,ro / && sudo fsck /dev/root | 16:09 |
| ASULutzy | gmathews: Yea, should only last one time, if it doesn't, you could always do sudo rm /forcefsck if it's still there after fsck runs | 16:09 |

| gnk | how to uninstall programs wihich installed by make install?? | 16:16 |
| lukasz | How do i install amarok 2.0? | 16:16 |
| demonbell | gnk : You should can do make uninstall | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | gnk: if the makefile does not have an uninstall option (sudo make uninstall) you will have to delete all files one by one by hand | 16:17 |
| gnk | demonbell: not works | 16:17 |
| demonbell | or make remove - I do not remember | 16:17 |
| demonbell | hmm | 16:18 |
| webmind | ubottu, sorry | 16:18 |
| ubottu | It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. Those darned ewoks on the other hand... | 16:18 |

| JMS32 | How to install fonts (.*ttf) ? | 16:18 |
| demonbell | strange... | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | gnk: that's one of the resons compiling from source is not recomended... | 16:18 |
| Skaag | can someone help me with a weird network issue? requires serious guru... | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | !checkinstall | gnk use this the next time | 16:18 |
| ubottu | gnk use this the next time: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 16:18 |
| mker | Skaag, don't ask for help without explaining the problem. | 16:19 |
| Skaag | I tried explaining the problem earlier, nobody responded | 16:19 |
| Skaag | I tried to entice people by saying it's a serious issue ;-) | 16:19 |
| gnk | ok, thanks all | 16:19 |
| Skaag | not a trivial thing | 16:19 |
| rmn | disregard, reformatted partition with small -b argument | 16:19 |
| gnk | and where are my executable files stored?? | 16:20 |
| gmathews | lukasz: do u still need the install for amarok 2.0? | 16:20 |
| pschorf | Does anyone here know anything about a "Couldn't write registers: Input/output error." message in GDB? | 16:20 |
| Skaag | I setup eth0 just fine, and it has worked for almost a year, but yesterday something happened and it no longer works. the card is still configured but I can no longer ping anything. | 16:20 |
| mker | Skaag, it doesn't entice, it annoys :) I'd try the forums if I were you though, sometimes it's easier getting help there for complex problems | 16:20 |
| erUSUL | gnk: usually compiled programs end up under /usr/local/ hierarchy | 16:20 |
| JMS32 | How to use new fonts withous restarting X-server? | 16:20 |
| norbert79 | JMS32: fc-cache | 16:21 |

| earthen | anyone know of a repo for openoffice 3 | 16:22 |
| lukasz | :p | 16:22 |
| ikonia | earthen PPA's are the only ones | 16:22 |
| ikonia | earthen those are use at your own risk | 16:22 |
| earthen | ikaros, PPA? | 16:22 |
| Skaag | nothing was updated | 16:22 |
| pschorf | earthen, personal package archives | 16:23 |
| norbert79 | JMS32: I have my own fonts placed in /usr/share/fonts/Windows (I refer to that directory with that name). Copy all the fonts with root authoprity and set 644 rights to all of them. The current X will aujtomatically update the font cache, but if it doesn't, run fc-cache after you have placed them. Newly opened applications will see the new fonts instantly, and every user will be able on using them this way | 16:23 |
| gmathews | lukasz: Okay u need to add http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu as a repository | 16:23 |

| gmathews | lukasz: did u use deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main | 16:26 |
| norbert79 | Administrator: Simple: Does yíour WIfi work right now? | 16:26 |
| ikonia | !ndiswrapper | 16:26 |
| ichbinesderelch | Administrator: if the linux one do not work or are not available | 16:26 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:26 |
| lukasz | In a moment I will | 16:26 |
| erUSUL | Administrator: check if there is a native driver for your card | 16:26 |

| norbert79 | Administrator: You should also consider installing Backport modules or restricted moules, if the support for your wifi card is missing | 16:27 |
| gmathews | lukasz: what do u mean lol - u want Amarok yea? | 16:27 |
| Lasivian | how do I upgrade from 8.4 to 8.10? | 16:27 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > Lasivian | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Lasivian, please see my private message | 16:27 |
| orgthingy | hi | 16:27 |
| lukasz | Yes I want but I need restricted extras | 16:27 |
| Administrator | I'm trying to use a Linksys WPC54G v3 on Ubuntu 8.10; and it seems to recognize the card when I plug it in, but none of the available wireless networks are detected. | 16:27 |
| norbert79 | Administrator: And if you still lack wifi support, THEN you might consider installing ndiswrapper | 16:27 |
| orgthingy | how can i make my lovely controllers and joysticks work? | 16:27 |
| Lasivian | ack | 16:27 |
| pschorf | ^_XeNe_^, we're pretty antisocial | 16:27 |
| gmathews | lukasz: let me know after u have added that line in your sources list | 16:27 |
| pschorf | Does anyone here know anything about a "Couldn't write registers: Input/output error." message in GDB? | 16:27 |
| norbert79 | Administrator: try to install backport modules, and restricted modules | 16:27 |
| ikonia | pschorf: there is no need for that comment to pschorf just drop it | 16:28 |
| Lasivian | thanks | 16:28 |
| norbert79 | Administrator: Maybe that will help... Check if you have enabled Wifi support by pressing Fn+Fx (the button on your laptop) | 16:28 |
| ikonia | pschorf: what package are you gdb'ing | 16:28 |
| orgthingy | anyone knows how to make my controllers and joysticks work in linux? | 16:28 |
| Administrator | norbert79: I'm fairly new. What are backport and restricted modules? | 16:28 |
| norbert79 | orgthingy: Just plug it in | 16:28 |
| lukasz | I have added | 16:28 |
| norbert79 | Administrator: Those are packages which are add-ons to the kernel | 16:28 |
| lukasz | What do i do next gmatthews | 16:28 |
| pschorf | ikonia, it's happening on anything I try...even a hello world program | 16:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 16:28 |
| gmathews | okay lukasz open Synaptic -> Refresh | 16:29 |
| lukasz | ok | 16:29 |
| norbert79 | Administrator: use apt-search backport | grep linux for listing backported modules | 16:29 |
| gmathews | lukasz: i mean reload :) | 16:29 |
| norbert79 | !backport | 16:29 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 16:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | i am looking for a ms-access like db application for linux .... ???????? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | pschorf: if you go to #gcc and ask for help / docs understanding gdb output I'm sure they will point you in the right place | 16:29 |
| norbert79 | !backport-modules | 16:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:29 |
| ikonia | silv3r_m00n: sqllite? | 16:29 |
| ASULutzy | orgthingy: should just be able to plugin, but jscalibrator is pretty useful | 16:29 |
| bonez39 | why is us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu not working today? | 16:29 |
| orgthingy | ok | 16:29 |
| maggiorana | sera | 16:30 |
| orgthingy | bonez39 : there are many mirrors, use others | 16:30 |
| norbert79 | !it | 16:30 |

| silv3r_m00n | ikonia: what abt a frontend ? | 16:30 |
| orgthingy | you dont have to use the US one :p | 16:30 |
| gmathews | !za | 16:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about za | 16:30 |
| silv3r_m00n | something like openoffice base but better | 16:30 |
| ikonia | silv3r_m00n there is a front end called olive something - olive branch maybe | 16:30 |
| lukasz | I need to reboot brb | 16:30 |
| ikonia | silv3r_m00n: open office can link into sql lite databases | 16:30 |
| monitor | boa tarde | 16:30 |
| pschorf | ikonia, I was in #gdb earlier and they sent me back here to see if anyone else had this issue | 16:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | ikonia: let me check | 16:31 |
| norbert79 | have to ruush, bye! | 16:31 |
| monitor | gostaria de saber como faço pra instalar os clientes no meu servidor | 16:31 |
| ikonia | pschorf you need to read up and understand what it is, i/o problems could be something similar to can't write/read memory, or can't write/read disk | 16:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | ikonia: ok i opened openoffice database | 16:31 |
| F-3000 | Hello! Is it possible to make full copy of current system with something like "sudo cp /* /mount/hd2/*" ? | 16:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | ikonia: now how to create a sqlite db ? | 16:31 |
| monitor | yes | 16:32 |
| praet | F-3000: i think you should use a disk copy (partion to another) | 16:32 |
| ikonia | silv3r_m00n sqlite is a flat file database, you create it using definitions like access, openoffice database is it's own application | 16:32 |
| gmathews | silv3r_m00n: #sql | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | F-3000: well you need at least "cp -a" but tar; cpio or a patition clonning program are more apropiate for that task | 16:32 |
| praet | F-3000: search dd | 16:33 |
| * Lasivian pushes the button on her upgrade.. see you on the other side! heh | 16:33 | |
| gmathews | Lasivian: good luck :P | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | pschorf: have you tried "sudo gdb ..." maybe it is a permissions issue... (like not being able to access /dev/mem or somethiung like that) | 16:34 |
| === Moo is now known as Guest60470 | ||
| F-3000 | praet: would it be easy to restore the system from the image made with dd? | 16:35 |
| lukasz | Hi gmathews | 16:35 |
| lukasz | I am back | 16:35 |
| erUSUL | !info partimage | F-3000 | 16:35 |

| lukasz | Now what do I do after I added the respitory | 16:35 |
| gmathews | Hey lukasz : did you reload in Synaptic? | 16:35 |
| F-3000 | erUSUL, is that on livecd? | 16:36 |

| Reklamiarz2 | Happy New Year >> http://85.14.95.36/ogien_z_dupy.gif << | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | F-3000: dunno but you can install it or use a specific partimage livecd | 16:36 |
| lukasz | What do I search for? | 16:36 |
| gmathews | lukasz: After reloading search for amarok-kde4 | 16:36 |
| gmathews | lukasz: install and enjoy - :) it is a bit buggy...I switched back to Amarok 1.4 but you can see for yourself | 16:37 |
| lukasz | Could not mark all packages for installtion gmathews | 16:37 |
| gmathews | Hmm thats weird | 16:37 |
| lukasz | yeah | 16:37 |
| F-3000 | erUSUL, praet: What I'm attempting, is to make a full copy of current Kubuntu installation for later restoration, if Ubuntu fails to work properly on my friend's laptop, to avoid the need to reinstall the whole Kubuntu. | 16:37 |
| gmathews | I didnt get that error...I did exactly what u did lukasz | 16:38 |
| lukasz | hmm | 16:38 |
| Mac___ | birkoff : do you try the packet of https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | F-3000: then use partimage or/and clonezilla | 16:38 |
| bazhang | birkoff, which version of ubuntu | 16:38 |

| n3m3s1s4u | ok.... | 16:40 |
| bazhang | birkoff, the latest version of ubuntu has a usb-creator as an option built in | 16:40 |
| n3m3s1s4u | How can I make Ubuntu - look like this though? | 16:40 |
| gmathews | n3m3s1s4u: look like what ? | 16:40 |
| SexyMarty | quick question.... I have a TON of files that all have a .1 after the file extension... so they're like "xxxxxxx.jpg.1"... would there be any quick way for me to batch rename them all to get rid of the .1? | 16:40 |
| gmathews | SexyMarty: I saw a mass renaming application on getdeb.net once try there | 16:41 |
| ikonia | SexyMarty for i in `ls *.1` do mv $i `echo $i | sed 's/.1//g'` done | 16:41 |
| CarlFK | SexyMarty: man rename "For example, to rename all files matching "*.bak" to strip the | 16:41 |
| CarlFK | extension, you might say rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak " | 16:41 |
| gmathews | or you can follow ikonia hahaha :p | 16:41 |
| SexyMarty | thanks guys | 16:41 |
| bazhang | birkoff, you can also /msg ubottu usb for more info and links | 16:42 |
| n3m3s1s4u | gmathews: um.....the menu system for Gnome... | 16:42 |

| masrawy_ | #linnuxac | 16:43 |
| F-3000 | erUSUL: would you know if it works to do restoration while running version that's going to be overridden? Or is it required to boot on livecd or on limited console? | 16:43 |

| ikonia | conrad_ it's better/easier to create a new one and delete your old | 16:44 |
| Mimi | conrad_, here in IRC? /nick TheNickYouWant | 16:44 |
| Mimi | Oh | 16:45 |
| conrad_ | ikonia how do i go about using my old settings and homefolder? | 16:45 |
| ikonia | conrad_ copy them from your old /home dir to your new one | 16:46 |
| lukasz | Here it is gmathews http://rafb.net/p/PT0APP21.html | 16:46 |
| earthen | I have intel 64 bit cpu do i still pick amd64 cause it's the only 64 option i see | 16:47 |

| masrawy_ | #linuxac | 16:47 |
| ikonia | masrawy_ stop saying that | 16:47 |
| earthen | ikonia, thanks again :) | 16:47 |
| Mimi | conrad_, go to Users and Groups (under Settings -> Administration I believe) and you can create a new one there | 16:47 |
| Mimi | conrad_, then move all your stuff to the new user folder in /home/YourNewUser | 16:48 |
| Mimi | conrad_, if you show the hidden files on that folder, and copy them to the new one, it should tranfer most of the settings | 16:49 |
| F-3000 | erUSUL, praet: I'll try clonezilla. Thanks for your help. :) | 16:49 |

The first entry with a "description" of "Network controller" appears to be my hardware; but the other, with a "description" of "Wireless interface" says "*-network:1 DISABLED". What does this mean? | 16:55 |
| conrad_ | a123.168.1.3 is a Folder | 16:55 |
| ikonia | conrad no thats an ip address | 16:56 |
| conrad_ | a192.168.1.3 | 16:56 |
| conrad_ | no thats a folder | 16:56 |
| conrad_ | look carefully | 16:56 |
| woli | masom, did you see the option of autologin after a period of time? | 16:56 |
| lyrae | conrad_: restart the nfs daemon | 16:56 |

| woli | !sound | 17:03 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| lukasz | Help pls | 17:05 |
| woli | vivid, what's the problem with it? | 17:05 |
| Ground0_ | woli just ask maybe someone here would know a good bet would be a forum (preferably a graphic/art community) | 17:05 |
| vivid | it does nothing.. | 17:05 |
| vivid | device is unmanaged, yet im connected, how do i get it to manage my eth0 connection is basically what im after | 17:06 |
| Ivan____v | Does anyone know of a dial up modem that works with relatively little configuration and that I can purchase online within the next few days for around less then 60 with shipping? | 17:06 |

| Kartagis | when I am home, I want my laptop's /etc/resolv.conf to read nameserver 192.168.1.2 instead of 192.168.1.1. how can I do that? at work, I have no problems | 17:12 |
| locohost | you could make a startup script with some if statements | 17:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Kartagis; possibly your router is assigning you an IP? | 17:13 |
| locohost | that too, its kinda the job of dhcp to take care of that | 17:14 |
| Kartagis | bastid_raZor, you mean I should disable dhcp? | 17:14 |
| locohost | no, i dont think thats what he ment | 17:14 |
| locohost | i think it means, dhcp should populate your resolv.conf | 17:14 |
| lukasz | I get an error and can't install Form repo | 17:15 |
| locohost | whats the error? | 17:15 |
| bazhang | lukasz, paste.ubuntu.com with the error | 17:15 |
| bastid_raZor | Kartagis; no, i mean your router may have your laptop a static ip of .2 .. you could change that in your router to have your MAC address of your laptop set to .2 instead of .1 | 17:15 |

| CarlFK | sirstan - there is apt-get and aptitude. I hear aptitude "does more stuff" - and i have found it takes longer... I think the graphical thing is based on aptitude | 18:08 |
| rpag | Paddy_EIRE, what part of eire? | 18:08 |
| lukasz | What is the solution Paddy? | 18:08 |
| Juaco | rpag: i'm no expert, but have you checked the hostname is available? (must be the same as the ServerName directive) | 18:09 |
| matthew | can i have better quality sound on alsamixer | 18:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lukasz, "System>Administration>Software Sources" then choose third-party software tab | 18:09 |
| sirstan_ | CarlFK, ive never had aptitude take considerably longer than apt-get .. this is the first time ive done a full 8.10 to current update .. and its taking hours. | 18:09 |
| rpag | Juaco, hm one sec | 18:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lukasz, choose to add a repo then add this line without the quotes "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ubuntu hardy main" | 18:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lukasz, you will then need to update/upgrade | 18:10 |

| Paddy_EIRE | ah | 18:11 |
| rpag | Nilesh, i'm trying to setup a vhost to run a rails app, but i get the error ; NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts. | 18:12 |
| rpag | even when using the default vhost config. | 18:12 |
| Juaco | grobda24: check man pages for commands mkswap and swapon, they're pretty straightforward | 18:12 |

| grobda24 | Juaco, ah, thanks :) | 18:13 |
| Lothsahn | bazhang: it'd be nice if they didn't remove support from the repositories, so I'd have to manually change this. | 18:13 |
| Nilesh | may i know what settings are you trying ? | 18:13 |
| bazhang | Lothsahn, nice going | 18:13 |
| Juaco | roag: yes | 18:14 |
| Nilesh | rpag - may i know what settings are you trying? | 18:14 |
| midnight_user | should I enable laptop-mode ? | 18:14 |

| bazhang | sinbox, what do you want to remain? | 18:25 |

| Paddy_EIRE | sevenseeker, well what I would advice would be to use this place religiously before you take the plunge and spend money on something | 18:32 |

| sevenseeker | Paddy_EIRE: indeed I will... I don't want to get stuck with drivers that are rarely updated or just not available | 18:33 |
| sekinto | danand_: But I kind of want to do every package separately, and it is a big list. Would I have to whip out Bash to accomplish this? | 18:33 |

| Paddy_EIRE | sevenseeker, sure.. just so long as you are aware that there is always help with these matters :) | 18:34 |
| Arunwils | but they r not responding | 18:34 |

| sirstan_ | tim167, this isnt the place. you could easily do that with perl. try #perl | 18:34 |

| sinbox | sekinto, did you take a look at the psychocat link? | 18:36 |
| ardchoille | tim167: you might look at man find | 18:36 |

| yamanickill | i keep trying to install ubuntu, and it says that there might be a faulty cd/dvd or harddrive. It says "The following file did not match its source copy on the CD/DVD" several times, and then it quits. i've tried reburning the cd, redownloading it, using a USB stick, using a different HDD, using another HDD. but it happens on every one of them | 18:40 |
| sekinto | sinbox: I guess I could go through each one, that might take awhile though. | 18:40 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: Are you burning at low speed? | 18:40 |
| yamanickill | i've tried both fast and slow MenZa | 18:40 |
| sinbox | exactly, you can edit that list and take out the ones you want to keep sekinto, or at least I think so. | 18:40 |
| sirstan_ | yamanickill, run the memory test. | 18:40 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am getting an input signal out of range when i try to start armyops any fix? | 18:40 |
| bazhang | yamanickill, sounds like the md5 error | 18:40 |
| LetsGo67 | How do I edit GRUB so that Windows XP starts by default, please? | 18:40 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: You should always burn slowly. Have you tried checking the md5sum of the iso once downloaded, and of the disk itself when burnt? | 18:40 |
| MenZa | !burning | yamanickill | 18:41 |
| ubottu | yamanickill: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 18:41 |
| MenZa | -_- | 18:41 |
| bazhang | its !md5 | 18:41 |
| Jaffarkelshac | sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst LetsGo67 change the default option | 18:41 |
| yamanickill | i have done MenZa, and i've also tried crunchbang as well, so its not just the normal ubuntu that does it | 18:41 |
| LetsGo67 | Thx bud. | 18:41 |
| yamanickill | i'll go recheck the md5 | 18:41 |
| MenZa | Great. | 18:41 |
| Jaffarkelshac | LetsGo67: its line 15 i think | 18:42 |
| yamanickill | thing is, i've also used cds that worked before | 18:42 |
| LetsGo67 | thx again :) | 18:42 |
| yamanickill | and also cds that i got with linux format, and linux magazine | 18:42 |
| needhelp | hello, my MBR is screwed. I can't load with grub, The only way to enter my system is with a KNOPPIX live CD. Are there any way to fix the MBR for Ubuntu from within the Knoppix live CD ? | 18:43 |
| yamanickill | needhelp: you can try and use SuperGrubDisk | 18:43 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am getting an "input signal out of range" when i try to start armyops game any fix? | 18:43 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: Sounds like your CD drive might be fubar'ed. | 18:43 |
| yamanickill | MenZa: thats what i thought...so i tried a usb drive instead. and it did the same thing | 18:44 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am not sure, but you can fix grub with ubuntu live cd needhelp | 18:44 |
| LetsGo67 | jaffarkelshac, I think it's easier to use qtgrub, just for next time. :) 'Cause I'm lost in that file. | 18:44 |
| costlyeffects | after i share an entire pc where will it show up on my other computer | 18:44 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: That sounds very weird. Motherboard? O_o | 18:44 |
| LetsGo67 | !grub | 18:44 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 18:44 |
| yamanickill | MenZa: thats what i didn't want you to say | 18:44 |
| needhelp | yamanickill: perhaps yes, but problem is: This computer doesnt have burner, and the other computer (which I am trying to fix atm) doesnt have internet. | 18:44 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: I honestly can't find any other ideas. RAM perhaps? Try running the memory test on the CD. | 18:44 |
| ASULutzy | yamanickill: If the USB drive says the same thing, are you sure the download went ok? I would md5sum the .iso you downloaded | 18:44 |
| LetsGo67 | !qtgrub | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about qtgrub | 18:45 |
| MenZa | ASULutzy: He has md5sum'ed it, and checked it post-burn | 18:45 |
| sekinto | sinbox: Some of the things on there make no sense what-so-ever though; why would Ruby even be on that list??? | 18:45 |
| Jaffarkelshac | oh, LetsGo67 i guess what ever works for you. did that work then | 18:45 |
| needhelp | Jaffarkelshac: But I don't have ubuntu live cd. I know I can download it and burn it, but... see the reply to yamanickill | 18:45 |
| yamanickill | ASULutzy: i have done, and i have also used cds that worked before | 18:45 |
| LetsGo67 | jaffarkelshac, how do I install it, though? | 18:45 |
| LetsGo67 | Who's FloodBot? | 18:45 |
| yamanickill | see i am worried that it will be the MB cause i've had some problems with my MB since i got it | 18:45 |
| costlyeffects | anyone? | 18:46 |
| sinbox | Well, I'm not sure sekinto I didn't write the list, I am going to use the gnome one but I'll be sure to check it carefully first though | 18:46 |
| Jaffarkelshac | never used it before LetsGo67 | 18:46 |
| ikonia | costlyeffects: what good is saying "anyone?" | 18:46 |
| yamanickill | needhelp: can your computer boot from usb? | 18:46 |
| costlyeffects | ikonia i was asking you about this earlier | 18:46 |
| yamanickill | if so, use UNetBootIn to burn SGD to a USB drive, and boot off that | 18:46 |
| jeroen- | Hdelp! | 18:46 |
| sinbox | costlyeffects, places > network | 18:47 |
| needhelp | yamanickill: i am not sure, I could look in the BIOS if there's any option for it. Can SuperGrubDisk be installed on a usb disk ? | 18:47 |
| ikonia | costlyeffects: yes so what good is saying anyone. if they didn't see your question, anyone doesn't tell them about it, if they don't know the answer saying anyone won't make them know | 18:47 |
| jeroen- | I bought a nividia 7300GT and now only I see is a breige/white/brown screen | 18:47 |
| yamanickill | needhelp: any ISO you burn to cd/dvd can be installed onto a usb disk, using Unetbootin | 18:47 |
| MenZa | !nvidia | jeroen- | 18:47 |
| ubottu | jeroen-: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:47 |
| sekinto | sinbox: Maybe it would be better just to remove the icons in the Gnome menu, it isn't like those extra packages will bog down the system at all... they just sit there looking pretty taking up a little hard drive space. Plus I might use them in the future anyway. | 18:47 |
| bazhang | jeroen-, which version of ubuntu, which drivers installed and from where | 18:48 |
| LetsGo67 | !qgrubeditor | 18:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about qgrubeditor | 18:48 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: 8.10 and I installed 173 | 18:48 |
| jeroen- | but before I installed that I had teh same problem | 18:48 |
| yamanickill | MenZa: any other ideas? apart from my motherboard being useless. | 18:48 |
| podman | sweetlord, never been in a room with this many people haha | 18:48 |
| bazhang | jeroen-, from the hardware drivers? is not 177 recommended? | 18:48 |
| torx | net | 18:48 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: I dont know, I only have a cli | 18:49 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: None whatsoever; except you could try checking the RAM. | 18:49 |
| sinbox | in my case I made the mistake of not paying attention and installing a full ubuntu when I just wanted the minimal command line install only sekinto | 18:49 |
| LetsGo67 | thx man ttyl | 18:49 |
| Scix | when i used DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer at boot, I'm getting the message that pkgsel/include command in my preseed file is invalid. It does not exists :S | 18:49 |
| bazhang | jeroen-, cli? why would you need xserver drivers then | 18:49 |
| yamanickill | ok, i'll go reboot and check the ram. could that make the difference? really? | 18:49 |
| bazhang | yamanickill, what are you using to burn this | 18:49 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: i cant use X | 18:49 |
| yamanickill | burn ubuntu? bazhang? | 18:50 |
| bazhang | jeroen-, boot into safe mode | 18:50 |
| jeroen- | ok | 18:50 |
| needhelp | yamanickill: thanks for the tip. I will try downloading ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso and put it on a memory disk using unetbootin | 18:50 |
| bazhang | yamanickill, to burn the iso | 18:50 |
| jeroen- | 1 m | 18:50 |
| abdlmlksmh | hi, could any body help me? i've bought an hp laptop, DV9823, and installed Ubuntu, everything seem to be working exept my WiFi and Bluetooth. thank you | 18:50 |
| MenZa | yamanickill: I'm not sure if it can. It's worth a shot, though. | 18:50 |
| yamanickill | bazhang: i used the built in cd burner to burn it to cd, and unetbootin to put it on the usb stick | 18:50 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am getting an "input signal out of range" when i try to start armyops game any fix for this? | 18:51 |
| yamanickill | but i think crunchbang might just be about to work | 18:51 |
| yamanickill | its gotten higher than any of them have done | 18:51 |
| bazhang | yamanickill, then it is likely the media if md5 sum passes as well as the disk integrity check | 18:51 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: yes I am at the recovery menu | 18:51 |
| yamanickill | bazhang: but i tried cds, usb drives, and 3 different harddrives | 18:51 |
| podman | anyone here have experience with webcams in ubuntu. i'm finally entering web 2.0 :p | 18:52 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: I did a xfix | 18:52 |
| bazhang | yamanickill, what I meant was the media (ie cd quality, sometimes are name brand but are in fact counterfeit) | 18:52 |
| jeroen- | is that want you ment? | 18:53 |
| jeroen- | are should I drop to the root prompt | 18:53 |
| bazhang | jeroen-, did you install nvidia-settings | 18:53 |
| sirstan_ | podman, web 2.0 isnt about webcams. | 18:53 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: no not yet | 18:53 |
| siaw | so i accidentally deleted deleted my Desktop folder and now all my files from my ~/ folder is on the desktop, how do i change it back to ~/Desktop ? | 18:53 |
| podman | sirstan_: i joke :p | 18:53 |
| jeroen- | no network in safe mode | 18:53 |
| yamanickill | bazhang: i tried 2 different brands. and my usb drives are kingston and cruzer | 18:54 |
| lukeW | hi | 18:54 |

| lukeW | i have a problem with sound in intrepid - having to use killall pulse-audio a lot | 18:54 |
| lukeW | does anyone have a fix? | 18:54 |
| yamanickill | but it looks like crunchbang is about to install properly :D | 18:54 |
| Ben1 | hey guys, anyone know how small you can get ubuntu server edition? | 18:54 |
| podman | i've been looking at logitech quickcam 9000 and philips spc 900 | 18:54 |
| podman | they seem to be on the list to get working easily in ubuntu.. | 18:55 |
| sirstan_ | benl: ~5 inches | 18:55 |
| Ben1 | lol thanks sirstan | 18:55 |
| stefg | Ben1: if you press it really hard you can get away with 500-600 MB | 18:55 |
| ace_III | Hi, Just installed samba on Ubuntu 8.04 and when logging in from a winxp machine, following error: create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators | 18:55 |
| sirstan_ | Ben1, i bet you could get it really small with a tiny usb disk! | 18:55 |
| podman | ps, i suck with hardware :-/ | 18:55 |
| feitingen | podman: they sounds like good candidates, you might want to check the gspca website | 18:55 |
| yamanickill | sirstan_: thats huge. | 18:55 |
| sirstan_ | yamanickill, its usually impressive when viewed. | 18:55 |
| Ben1 | oh dear what did i start.... | 18:56 |
| yamanickill | sirstan_: what was it on? | 18:56 |
| sirstan_ | yamanickill, CDR? | 18:56 |
| yamanickill | 5 inches...ok lol | 18:56 |
| lukeW | podman, have you seen the Clique HUE HD? I was thinking about buying that | 18:56 |
| lukeW | but i'm not sure how great it is with ubuntu | 18:56 |
| podman | haven't heard of that | 18:56 |
| yamanickill | dance with me geeks...it has installed :D:D:D | 18:56 |
| jeroen- | bazhang: installing 177 now | 18:56 |
| jeroen- | live cd is also not loadinf\ | 18:57 |
| jeroen- | g | 18:57 |
| _M4rk_ | does anyone know how i can install imap on ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| jeroen- | also brown screem | 18:57 |
| jeroen- | n | 18:57 |
| ace_III | iks tghere something wrong with samba on ubuntu hardy ? | 18:57 |
| sirstan_ | ace_III: works fine here. | 18:57 |
| DIFH-iceroot | _M4rk_: imap is a protocoll not a program | 18:57 |
| Ben1 | anyway, I want to set up a web proxy server running squidguard. all it needs is linux, apache1, squid and squidguard. The hard drive I have is 512Mb | 18:57 |
| lukeW | anyone know what's up with pulseaudio in intrepid? | 18:57 |
| sirstan_ | Ben1, checkout smoothwall | 18:58 |
| _M4rk_ | DIFH-iceroot: how do i set it up? | 18:58 |
| yamanickill | *dancing* | 18:58 |
| stefg | _M4rk_: all major mail apps support the client side, if you want an IMAP capable mail server look at ebox | 18:58 |
| DIFH-iceroot | _M4rk_: what do you want to do? using an imap mail-box? then use thunderbird | 18:58 |
| feitingen | lukeW: i got pulseaudio working fine, do you have the alsaplugin for pulseaudio installed? | 18:58 |
| lukeW | i don't remember dealing with that in particular | 18:58 |
| lukeW | i'll have a google thx | 18:59 |
| costlyeffects | can someone please help me setup my simple 2 computer network :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( | 18:59 |
| _M4rk_ | i want to make it so i can send and recive emails on my server? | 18:59 |
| podman | dang... can't find that site i had with the list... | 18:59 |
| feitingen | lukeW: googe for the perfect pulseaudio setup or something like that, it is a very good guide | 18:59 |
| jeroen- | still no effect | 18:59 |
| ikonia | costlyeffects: stop with all the :( stuff | 18:59 |
| ikonia | costlyeffects: just ask a question and wait for an answer please | 18:59 |
| Ben1 | sirstan_ I have looked into that stuff... im gonna have one machine as a firewall running IPCOP, but I want the squid on a separate box. it's a thin client with 256 ram and 512 DiskOnChip. unfortunately it is currently running winxpe and doesnt boot coz of drivers | 18:59 |
| stefg | costlyeffects: ... running which OS ? | 18:59 |
| lukeW | feitingen, thx - it's been really bugging me lately, so it'll be great to have it sorted | 18:59 |
| costlyeffects | both ubuntu | 19:00 |
| ikonia | costlyeffects: what is the actual issue ? | 19:00 |
| stefg | costlyeffects: i'd use sshfs... much simpler than samba or nfs | 19:00 |
| podman | it wasn't this one either: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html | 19:01 |
| === gary_ is now known as Guest3486 | ||
| ace_III | sirstan_ on 8.04? it works when i use ubuntu as clietn - no problem but with winxp as client, it doesn't work | 19:01 |
| costlyeffects | i simply cant get the computers to connect with nfs. i want to be able to use drives on my of my pc on my laptop as if they were my laptops drives | 19:01 |
| stefg | costlyeffects: install openssh-server on both machines and use the 'connect to server' applet to connect to the other machine (using ssh as protocol) | 19:01 |
| ikonia | costlyeffects: ok, so what have you done and what is the exact error/problem | 19:01 |
| costlyeffects | i post the errors and get yelled at or get ignored | 19:02 |
| podman | was trying to do some googling and see if it were possible to get a sony handycam to work as a "webcam".. i so suck at hardware | 19:02 |

| lukasz | Its fine | 19:11 |
| lukasz | I had installed new Amarok | 19:11 |
| Zambezi | I installed Ubuntu on (sdd), it asked if I wanted to install grub to master boot record which apparently was hde. And after that hde (LUKS-partion) isn't possible to decrypt. Is it possible grub erase the whole drive? | 19:12 |
| bazhang | lukasz, did not paddy suggest telepathy? | 19:12 |
| [Spooky] | ASULutzy: Nah there i must know the SSID? | 19:12 |
| lukasz | I will install it again | 19:12 |
| ASULutzy | [Spooky]: It should list all the SSID's it sees, it basically just gives a graphical frontend for iwlist <dev> scanning | 19:13 |
| onetinsoldier | sevenseeker: hello. have you considered using the ati fglrx driver? it works great for most ati cards. an open-source driver may work ok too | 19:13 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 19:13 |
| ASULutzy | [Spooky]: Just left click it | 19:13 |
| meoblast001 | my friend has a laptop and he wanted to install ubuntu but he told me when he booted the cd, his laptops mouse wouldnt work... he said when he went back to vista it worked though | 19:13 |

| sevenseeker | onetinsoldier: yes, I used that in the past with mixed results (> 5 years ago), but am spec'ing out some systems now. I wasn't happy with ATI's official fglrx drivers and the open source ones didn't support my card then. I am glad to hear they work good now | 19:15 |
| lukasz | I have tried the new Amarok | 19:15 |

| usser | costlyeffects, pastebin your exports, did u run exportfs -a after you edited the file | 19:43 |
| costlyeffects | yes | 19:43 |
| jrgp | in NetworkManager, what does Link-Local only do for wired ethernet connections? | 19:43 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | well is debian supported here in case the query might be a bit ubuntu related? | 19:43 |
| costlyeffects | usser: /home 192.168.1.2(rw,no_root_squash,async) | 19:43 |
| lukasz | I will reboot | 19:43 |
| lukasz | I will see you all sooon maybe toomarow | 19:44 |
| usser | costlyeffects, cool now do sudo exportfs -a and sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-server restart | 19:44 |
| A4Tech | hello again | 19:44 |
| hateball | smokeymirror: well there should be a manual or something. either you push the button... or it's a fn+something combination | 19:44 |
| Pici | sh4d3sl4y3r_: No, thats what #debian is for. | 19:44 |
| smokeymirror | ok | 19:44 |
| A4Tech | Pici help me please | 19:44 |
| smokeymirror | there was only a slip that came with my laptop no windows cd or anything | 19:45 |
| usser | costlyeffects, also that ip address in /etc/exports specifies which computers are allowed to connect if you're not connecting from that ip the access will be denied | 19:45 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | lol my question is something which #debian will send me to #ubuntu and the vice versa, lol.. by anyways thanks | 19:45 |
| smokeymirror | ill go look in that and see | 19:45 |
| smokeymirror | thanks for your help i will be back later if i still cannot figure it out | 19:45 |
| smokeymirror | thanks a lot hateball :) ja matane | 19:45 |
| Pici | A4Tech: With? | 19:45 |
| A4Tech | Pici with bot | 19:45 |
| Pici | A4Tech: Care to join me in #ubuntu-bots then | 19:46 |
| A4Tech | Pici die chennel =( | 19:46 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | ok i wil ask in ubuntu-offtopic then .. xD | 19:46 |
| costlyeffects | usser same error | 19:46 |
| usser | costlyeffects, is the ip you're connecting from 192.168.1.2 | 19:47 |
| costlyeffects | yes | 19:47 |
| ska | I just installed a Dell Latitude D600 , but eth0 doesn't have a driver. | 19:47 |
| usser | costlyeffects, are u trying to mount the exported directory on the local machine? | 19:47 |
| ska | At least it doesn't show in dmesg. | 19:47 |
| usser | costlyeffects, try changing the ip in /etc/exports to 127.0.0.1 | 19:47 |
| recon69 | got a problem installing "sudo apt-get libpng12-dev" , anyone know what going on? | 19:48 |
| ozzloy | i want my machine to run a network script on boot. what's the proper way to do this? | 19:48 |
| eseven73 | recon69: you forgot 'install' | 19:48 |
| ozzloy | in ubuntu 8.04? | 19:48 |
| eseven73 | 'sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev' | 19:48 |
| jrgp | costlyeffects, make the ip this to allow anyone to mount: 192.168.1.0/24 | 19:48 |
| costlyeffects | ok usser i did that and it gave the same error | 19:48 |
| usser | costlyeffects, or if u want to allow anyone on your network change it to this /home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) | 19:48 |
| usser | costlyeffects, make sure you do exportfs -a and sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart each time you edit the file | 19:49 |
| max9ai | Is somebody here? | 19:49 |
| eseven73 | nope | 19:49 |
| max9ai | Really? oO | 19:49 |
| eseven73 | ;) | 19:49 |
| danand_ | ozzloy: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ ?? | 19:49 |
| danand_ | ozzloy: and /etc/network/interfaces file ?? | 19:50 |
| costlyeffects | actually, this time it said: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 127.0.0.1:/home | 19:50 |
| nickguest | hi guys, i'm running xubuntu-live but when running fsck it sayd i dont have fsck.ntfs... how to get it? | 19:50 |
| nickguest | *says | 19:50 |
| usser | costlyeffects, try this /home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) | 19:50 |
| Flannel | nickguest: As far as I'm aware, Linux still can't fsck an NTFS partition | 19:51 |
| usser | costlyeffects, and mount it with sudo mount 192.168.1.2:/home /mnt | 19:51 |
| recon69 | eseven73: well, it's a friend and he had install in the command, was 8.10 , saw a post in the forums reporting similar , wondering if it's a known bug with 8.10? | 19:51 |

| raylu | usser: why would you mount something at /mnt? | 19:51 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Ok, how do I make /usr/share/vuze/ writable by anyone/thing? | 19:51 |
| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: you don't want to do that | 19:51 |
| nickguest | Flannel really? stefg thx | 19:51 |
| stefg | !permissions | Hondo_Kitsune | 19:52 |
| ubottu | Hondo_Kitsune: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:52 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | raylu: I do want to do that, Vuze cannot update unless I do it | 19:52 |
| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: then run vuze as root | 19:52 |
| ozzloy | danand_: thanks! | 19:52 |
| nickguest | Flannel and why exists fsck.ntfs then? | 19:52 |
| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: or install it to your home dir | 19:52 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | raylu: I shouldn't need to | 19:52 |
| usser | raylu, thats what this directory is for :) | 19:52 |
| jme | Having a weird power management issue here - my GNOME Power Manager insists I'm on AC power even when it's disconnected from the charger, with battery discharging | 19:52 |
| Flannel | nickguest: If it exists, then I'm mistaken | 19:52 |
| eseven73 | recon69: im not familiar with that lib, you'd problably have to google for the "bug" or just keep asking, just dont repeat more than like every 5-10 mins. | 19:52 |
| lukasz | I have succesfull Amarok 2.0 working :D | 19:53 |
| raylu | usser: no, you're mounting it at /mnt instead of a directory inside /mnt | 19:53 |
| raylu | nickguest: it looks for fsck.[file system name] | 19:53 |
| raylu | nickguest: so if fsck.ntfs were ever developed, it would work without additional configuration | 19:53 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | raylu: It was a .DEB package | 19:53 |
| stefg | nickguest: but Flannel is right... ntfs is proprietary, so there'S no linux implementazion of chkdsk for ntfs. you can only force to mount a damaged ntfs to rescue files, but this doesn't repair anything and is dangerous | 19:53 |
| usser | raylu, yea. i just got used to doing it that way, i guess separate mount points in mnt is the proper way | 19:53 |
| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: well, whoever packaged that didn't think that through. it's still possible to install debs in your home dir | 19:53 |
| lukasz | Thank you for your help everyone you made my day :) | 19:53 |
| eseven73 | recon69: you can try to find the bug in http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ | 19:54 |

| eseven73 | oops https* recon69 | 19:55 |
| nickguest | ok thank you guys | 19:55 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | raylu: Can't you just tell me what to type to set the perms. The link you gave me makes no sence to me | 19:55 |
| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: i didn't give that link and, again, you don't want to do that | 19:55 |
| stefg | Hondo_Kitsune: so you want the 'admin' group to have write access to that dir (b/c only admins/members of the sudoer group should be avble to do an update | 19:55 |
| williammanda_ | I'm have trouble executing bin file.....I get bash: ecs.bin: command not found...I am in the directory where the file is located...any ideas? | 19:55 |
| nickguest | i go, goodbye | 19:55 |
| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: it defeats the purpose of having permissions if you hand out write access | 19:55 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest1869 | ||
| jme | Hondo_Kitsune: you can chmod 777 it, but again you're probably making a mistake to do that | 19:55 |

| raylu | Hondo_Kitsune: that only means it's less stupid | 19:56 |
| trae | are there any howto's on setting up: D-Link DWL-AG132 USB wireless network adapater "card"? | 19:56 |

| AngryElf | why are ubuntu's 64 bit iso's labled "amd64" when other manufacturors make 64-bit cpus? | 20:00 |
| jme | AngryElf: other OEMs use the AMD 64-bit instructions | 20:01 |
| Pici | AngryElf: Because they conform to AMD's 64bit specification. | 20:01 |

| ASULutzy | max9ai: Core2Duo's support 64 bit, CoreDuo's do not, iirc | 20:04 |
| Slart | williammanda_: it's not ECS.bin or Ecs.bin? linux is case sensitive | 20:04 |
| Kartagis | Pici, I already have prepend domain-name-servers in dhclient.conf. do i need to disable modem dhcp for that to take effect network-wise? | 20:05 |
| max9ai | Is amd64 better choise for core2duo? x_X | 20:05 |
| Slart | williammanda_: can you do a pastebin with the output from "ls -l" <-- that's an lower case L and from "./ecs.bin" | 20:05 |
| Slart | !paste | williammanda_ | 20:05 |
| ubottu | williammanda_: 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) | 20:05 |
| Flannel | max9ai: They're both fine choices for the processor. The question is: Do you want a 32bit OS or a 64bit OS? | 20:05 |
| Pici | Kartagis: No, that option will add your custom dns servers before any ones specified by the normal dhcp process. | 20:05 |

| Slart | max9ai: the speed difference is small.. I don't think you'd notice.. | 20:07 |

| williammanda_ | Slart http://pastebin.com/m7c11241a | 20:08 |

| preliumtum | ...find vmlinuz. if i try "casper/vmlinuz[enter]" it starts to load.. then complains of an invalid or corrupt kernel image. so i copied vmlinuz to the root dir on the usb stick - still complains of invalid or corrupt kernal image. Any ideas? | 20:20 |

| fatih_akdeniz | hi | 20:22 |
| stefg | treyk4: i have a server (Foxconn mobo) which shows the softreset errors, too, but just boots normally after that. Either try if bootoptions help, or try an install via USB stick ? | 20:22 |
| hno1 | costlyeffects: Is .3 running NFS services today? | 20:22 |
| costlyeffects | both are | 20:23 |
| hno1 | costlyeffects: Then it | 20:23 |
| costlyeffects | both server and client on both | 20:23 |
| costlyeffects | what? | 20:23 |
| hno1 | costlyeffects: Then it's just to export it from the first and mount it on the second. | 20:23 |
| costlyeffects | thats what im trying to do | 20:23 |
| etronik_ | Hi all, where should a manual install of the latest bugzilla place or unpack the files ? into /usr/share? or somewhere wlse ? TIA | 20:24 |
| costlyeffects | what do you think im trying to do | 20:24 |
| hno1 | costlyeffects: Nothing special about USB drives, other than that it needs to be connected before the client attempts to mount.. | 20:24 |
| costlyeffects | ok | 20:24 |
| eseven73 | are there any GUI utilities to test for hard drive bottlenecks and read/write speeds? Im trying bonnie++ but i cant figure it out :/ | 20:24 |
| costlyeffects | hno1 how do i mount it ? | 20:24 |
| stefg | etronik_: usally the /usr/local tree is for your personal stuuf | 20:24 |
| etronik_ | stefg: thanks, what if I want to build a server (jeos) and make a install for more people, any other place more appropriate ? | 20:25 |
| costlyeffects | hno1 | 20:25 |
| stefg | etronik_: i'd put it in /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/bin ... these are the traditional places | 20:26 |
| hno1 | costlyeffects: on the server, add the drive to /etc/fstab (with a LABEL or UUID, not device name... USB device names is strange..) and /etc/exports | 20:26 |
| root_____ | anyone know a way to get a menu to pop up in the 'blackbox' desktop using only the keyboard ? | 20:26 |
| etronik_ | stefg: thanks | 20:26 |
| hno1 | costlyeffects: on the client, also add it to /etc/fstab but with a filesystem type of nfs, and device serveraddress:/mount/point (where it's mounted on the server) | 20:27 |
| ferric84 | i'm trying to get my bluetooth mouse working in 8.10 again. The first time i tried connecting it worked great for a few days, until i turned the mouse off, now ubuntu won't even recognize it. "hciconfig hci0 pscan" returns "Can't set scan mode on hci0: Network is down (100)" - how can i resolve? | 20:27 |
| costlyeffects | how do i add it to /etc/fstab/ ? | 20:27 |

| Flannel | costlyeffects: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab will give you a rundown on specifics, the majority of the time you can copy stuff from your others (if you have a non-root partition, use those, just want default as the options, not the remount stuff) | 20:29 |

| root_____ | DawnLight to repartition the entire disk i believe is the default | 20:30 |
| vdejager | my server does not support pae, is there any option how to install ubuntu-server? | 20:31 |
| root_____ | DawnLight of course you would lose your M$ os that way. | 20:31 |

| D3RGPS31 | onetinsoldier: you know anyone about my current problem? | 20:35 |
| root_____ | The_Joe_ doesn't gcc do that ? | 20:35 |
| sheep | The_Joe_: maybe mcs, which is part of the mono-mcs package | 20:36 |
| Slart | The_Joe_: take a look at mono | 20:36 |
| The_Joe_ | Aaah too many messages | 20:36 |

| GNUtoo-desktop | hello, what's the switch for fsck.ext3 that displays the progression...i only found something that it puts in a file | 20:36 |

| hwilde | Anon314, asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory is pretty obvious error message, but this is not really an ubuntu question | 20:38 |
| D3RGPS31 | onetinsoldier: maybe you're hiding it from me >.> | 20:38 |
| Slart | williammanda_: yes.. since you can see the file with ls but not run it or get info about it | 20:38 |

| rookieuser | hello, i just killed my automounting of removable drives | 20:41 |
| usser | rainbowinfinity, oh so use itunes to transfer it, i dont know how to use itunes, but if its one of the latest generation players itunes is pretty much your only option | 20:41 |
| Slart | abetternick: yes.. that's why I suspected samba was the culprit.. | 20:41 |
| D3RGPS31 | onetinsoldier: whatever ships with the 8.10 discs is what i've run, so i don't know | 20:41 |
| rookieuser | how can i change the settings of automounting removable drives? | 20:41 |
| rookieuser | it's not in the fstab | 20:41 |
| abetternick | Slart if I copy a file using explorer in XP, to the ubuntu share, it does not get truncated | 20:41 |

| linuxguymarshall | Hey I had a question about torrents | 20:47 |
| linuxguymarshall | If my client says that it is seeding then that means that others can download from me right? | 20:48 |
| rainbowinfinity | usser, i use rhythmbox for my ipod...i can't get itunes to work, and it's a disc for pc, i need to register it online, but wine won't load it, so what can i do? | 20:48 |
| Sooke | Hi, | 20:48 |
| hno1 | sneakers2: Probably Ubuntu didn't realize it's a raid:ed setup.. | 20:48 |
| Slart | linuxguymarshall: well.. yes | 20:48 |
| abetternick | ya its also easy to screw up everything | 20:48 |
| Sooke | Has anyone tested StarOffice? How good is compared to OpenOffice? | 20:48 |
| abetternick | now almost my entire itunes library is ruined by filename truncating | 20:48 |
| linuxguymarshall | slart:Ok. Just wanted to make sure | 20:48 |
| sneakers2 | hnol, so it tried to write the mbr with grub onto the windows vista drive and ruined my raid array? | 20:49 |
| onceuponastack | linuxguymarshall: Remove torrent, no longer seeding. | 20:49 |
| abetternick | i guess blame is also waranted to Apple for writing the windows version of itunes, and not warning about truncating | 20:49 |
| abetternick | Warning - this action will fuck up your itunes library. do you really want to jfuck up your itunes library? | 20:49 |
| hno1 | sneakers2: Hard to say exactly which step annoyed the raid. It's most likely a software raid thing. | 20:49 |
| linuxguymarshall | onceuponastack:I want people to download from me | 20:49 |
| usser | rainbowinfinity, if its one of those disk based registration/activation then your only option is to run it in windows | 20:50 |
| festy | when will the netbeans ide 6.5 be available via synpatic? | 20:50 |

| Retskrad | usser: please check PM | 20:50 |
| Slart | festy: those questions are very very hard to answer... when there is a package and it's accepted into the repos is perhaps the best answer you can get? | 20:50 |
| sneakers2 | hnol, well right now i'd just like to be able to boot into windows, are you telling me that I've now lost all my data? can't rebuild a raid 0 array can you? | 20:50 |
| abetternick | ah ok | 20:50 |
| Slart | festy: is it a new version? | 20:51 |
| festy | Slart, yes, latest | 20:51 |
| Slart | festy: is it a security fix? or just a new version? | 20:51 |
| Pres-Gas | Okay, so what happened to http://rootprompt.org ? I just realized they have not had a post since May, but there is no news saying they are dead. Anyone with info? | 20:52 |

| hwilde | onetinsoldier, nevermind I wasn't grepping right | 20:55 |

| onetinsoldier | hwilde: ok.. | 20:56 |
| rblst | Slart: the live cd, of course | 20:56 |
| hwilde | i found it now | 20:56 |

| D3RGPS31 | is it possible to section off a part of my harddrive, copy an installation disk to it, boot from that section and begin installing as if i'm using a cd >.> | 20:56 |
| Slart | rblst: phew.. it was getting spooky there for a minute =).. I would try a reinstall.. don't know if you can just download the kernel and install it manually without the system running | 20:57 |

| zmanning_ | anyone know how to sudo save from within vi? | 20:57 |

| Slart | zmanning_: if you're already running vi as a normal user I think you'll have to restart | 20:58 |
| Biovore | zmanning_: I think you will just have to save it to your home dir and then copy it with sudo | 20:58 |
| natbet | zmanning_: :w /home/*username*/ | 20:58 |
| Slart | zmanning_: you could always save the file somewhere else if you've done many changes and don't want to do them again | 20:58 |
| natbet | zmanning_: :w /home/*username*/*filename* and it will be saved | 20:58 |
| rblst | Slart: and what would that change if i reinstall it? | 20:58 |
| logjon | will a fresh install work with my audio and video cards correctly or will i have to jump through the hoops again? | 20:59 |
| zmanning_ | Slart, natbet, Biovore awesome thanks guys. makes sense. just wanted to make sure there wasnt an easy way to sudo from within vi. thanks again! | 20:59 |
| Slart | rblst: hopefully whatever happened when you installed it the first time won't happen again.. if the same thing happens again I would start checking the cd for defects, perhaps download a new iso and so on | 20:59 |
| ASULutzy | D3RGPS31: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Installing without actually burning a CD? | 20:59 |
| ASULutzy | D3RGPS31: Because you can probably use unetbootin for that | 21:00 |

| ASULutzy | homy: Because, maybe you only want to use half of the USB stick for Ubuntu and the other half for storing office documents | 21:03 |
| mike-solidus | jockey will not enable fglrx drivers on my laptop, it says they are available and i say to enable them and it says downloading the driver and then it cuts out and i'm left wiht a disabled driver, also, the system will not shut down from a graphical command, i can issue a sudo reboot or a sudo halt but clicking "shut down" or log off etc does nothing | 21:03 |
| ASULutzy | SSilver2k: Have you tried installing grandr and fiddling with that? I've had some luck with that | 21:03 |

| Andrew1 | does anyone know how to make network manager automatically login to a wireless connection with a key and not ask for a password? I've been searching all day to find a way but I havn't been able to. I'm not very good at linux. | 21:04 |
| homy | ASULutzy: but I mean: Can't I just use the usb stick for storing office documents AND for ubuntu? So, the space I don't need for ubuntu (yet) can be used for office documents and if I delete some office documents, I can save more changes in ubuntu. | 21:04 |
| hno1 | hwilde: -D just checks if there is another station using that address. To check an active address other than your own don't specify any flags, just the address. | 21:04 |
| ASULutzy | homy: If you hate partitions and like disorganization, sure I guess? | 21:05 |
| harlemdavvey | hey guys hello | 21:05 |
| hwilde | hno1, hmm ok... | 21:05 |
| onetinsoldier | !welcome | harlemdavvey | 21:06 |
| ubottu | harlemdavvey: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 21:06 |
| Andrew1 | can someone help me please? | 21:06 |
| ASULutzy | Andrew1: I'm guessing you could edit the sudoers file to include network manager for all users | 21:06 |
| harlemdavvey | is anyone interested in blogs? i'm a blogger and i want to sponsorise a blogsite that's music-linux-related | 21:06 |
| hno1 | hwilde: But it it's one of your own addresses then -D is useful, gives the MAC of the other station also using that address if any. | 21:06 |
| ASULutzy | Andrew1: Er, actually network-config in the sudoers file | 21:06 |
| IRL | ciao | 21:06 |
| homy | ASULutzy: gparted only shows me 1 partition on the thumb drive - after installing ubuntu on it and leaving some free space for other stuff. | 21:06 |
| homy | So this partition-organization-thingy can't be the reason. | 21:07 |

| rycole_ | hey all. i'm trying to get postfix running using the "Internet site" settings, on Ubuntu. I'm executing the "/etc/init.d/postfix start" command, and it says "OK", but then it acts like Postfix isn't even running, because issuing "reload" says it's not. Does anyone know where the logs for postfix are? | 21:07 |
| jackass_ | Dobry | 21:07 |
| Andrew1 | how do i go to the sudoers file? | 21:07 |
| harlemdavvey | can someone put my html code on his blog/website?? | 21:07 |
| guntbert | !ot | harlemdavvey | 21:07 |
| ubottu | harlemdavvey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:07 |

| guntbert | !pl | jackass_ | 21:08 |
| ubottu | jackass_: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl | 21:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Andrew1: visudo command | 21:08 |
| rycole_ | Seveas: alright, i'll check that out | 21:08 |
| Andrew1 | every time i turn the computer on it asks for a password | 21:08 |
| Andrew1 | ok i'll type that | 21:08 |
| rycole_ | Seveas: eh, it doesn't exist. | 21:08 |
| jackass_ | wiem :] | 21:08 |
| rycole_ | Seveas: a mail.log does though, maybe that's it! :P | 21:09 |
| Seveas | rycole_, ah oops. redhatism :) | 21:09 |
| ASULutzy | Andrew1: You can enable auto login via System -> Administration -> Login Window ->Security, as far as making specific apps have root privs, you can get that to work by editing the sudoers file | 21:09 |
| Seveas | rycole_, /var/log/mail.info mail.err amail.warn nd mail.log | 21:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Andrew1: you'll want to set the system to automatically login, see the above message from --> ASULutzy | 21:10 |
| jetsaredim | what's the easiest way to revert a config file back to what was initially installed? | 21:10 |
| ASULutzy | homy: Er, why would you expect there to be another partition if you didn't make one? | 21:10 |
| onetinsoldier | jetsaredim: did you manually edit one of them? | 21:10 |
| Seveas | jetsaredim, find someone who hasn't changed the file and have him send it. Or download the .deb and extract it | 21:10 |
| adaptr | jetsaredim: dpkg-reconfigure | 21:10 |
| ASULutzy | jetsaredim: Depends, dpkg-reconfigure, ask someone, purge the install and reinstall, etc | 21:11 |
| Andrew1 | i have the system to automatically login | 21:11 |
| grayhane | what is a segmentation fault ? | 21:11 |
| Andrew1 | but when the wireless connection connects it asks for a password | 21:11 |
| Andrew1 | to unlock the keyring | 21:12 |
| onetinsoldier | jetsaredim: what adaptr said might work.... dpkg-reconfigure -phigh <package_name> ...but not all programs come with default config files. some aren't created until the program is started for the first time, ect | 21:12 |
| adaptr | grayhane: an application tried to access memory it did not own; the kernel kills the application | 21:12 |
| unop | Andrew1, so remove the passphrase from the keyring then . | 21:12 |
| Anon314 | cannot move `gspca.ko' to `/lib/modules/2.6.24-20-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/ <-- Where should I put it then? | 21:12 |
| grayhane | adamb, TU | 21:12 |
| ASULutzy | Andrew1: Yes, if you don't want that you'll have to let all users run network-config as root without a password, this can be achieved via the sudoers file... I googled a solution and found: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435906&page=2 though I'm not sure that's really that ideal. | 21:12 |
| Andrew1 | i don't want to type the password in everytime i log in | 21:12 |
| unop | ASULutzy, not a good idea that. | 21:13 |
| homy | ASULutzy: you just said so! you said "homy: If you hate partitions and like disorganization, sure I guess?" As the answer for why free space on the usb thumb drive can't be used for office documents or ubuntu, without allocating a fixed fixed space for ubuntu in "usb-creator" | 21:13 |
| ASULutzy | unop: Yea, I agree | 21:13 |
| danand_ | !iso | danand_ | 21:13 |
| ubottu | danand_, please see my private message | 21:13 |
| unop | Andrew1, to unlock a keyrin you need to type a password (if it has one set) - if you find this to be annoying, don't set a password for the keyring. | 21:13 |
| ASULutzy | homy: Right... And if you tell it to use 100% it'll make 1 big partition for the Ubuntu live stuff as well as to store persistent changes. If you told it to use 50%, then it would only make a partition that took up half the drive, and then you'd be free to make another partition on the pendrive for the remaining 50% and format it to whatever you wanted and use it for whatever you wanted... What's difficult to understand about this? | 21:14 |
| Andrew1 | how do i not set a password for a keyring? you mean not have a password for my mom's account because this is her computer | 21:14 |
| === adam is now known as Aframester | ||
| homy | ASULutzy: that usb-creator didn't make any partitions! It only changed the ONE existing partition. | 21:15 |
| ASULutzy | homy: lol right | 21:15 |
| homy | AND: I can copy my own stuff in the ONE partition where ubuntu is installed | 21:15 |
| Andrew1 | so if i don't have a password for her account then the network manager program won't want to unlock the keyring? | 21:15 |
| homy | ASULutzy: yes, really. | 21:15 |
| unop | Andrew1, the password for the gnome-keyring is different to that of the system account -- to reset the password for the keyring - use gnome-keyring-preferences | 21:16 |
| eleos2 | i wanto to go to a remote desktop of my friend what can i do? | 21:16 |
| Andrew1 | what do you mean use? | 21:16 |
| ASULutzy | eleos2: Does your friend use Windows or Linux or? | 21:17 |
| unop | !who | Andrew1 | 21:17 |
| ubottu | Andrew1: 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 :) | 21:17 |
| gillemon | !tab | 21:17 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:17 |
| harlemdavvey | do we have a particular room of the ubuntu chat related to linux mp3 compatible players?? | 21:17 |
| harlemdavvey | ? | 21:17 |
| unop | Andrew1, press ALT+F2 and then type in gnome-keyring-preferences | 21:17 |
| onetinsoldier | is there a way i can tell whether or not iptables is being used right now, at this moment? | 21:17 |
| eleos2 | linux | 21:17 |
| Andrew1 | sorry i've been using windows all my life until now it's difficult for me | 21:17 |
| eleos2 | asulutzy | 21:18 |
| Flannel | harlemdavvey: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the best candidate | 21:18 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: sudo iptables -L | 21:18 |
| ASULutzy | harlemdavvey: I think you could ask that here, that ought to be support related? But there's always #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Slart: hey, thanks! | 21:18 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: or lower case L.. not sure | 21:18 |
| onetinsoldier | k | 21:18 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: hey =) | 21:18 |
| onetinsoldier | thx | 21:18 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 21:18 |

| jeroen- | how is this possible! | 21:21 |
| simpleos | !cpushare | 21:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cpushare | 21:21 |
| jeroen- | same backed isn't? | 21:21 |
| Slart | !vnc | eleos2 | 21:21 |
| ubottu | eleos2: 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 | 21:21 |
| dave_ | Slart: Great, is there any way you can try to remember? Your efforts would be tremendously appreciated. | 21:21 |
| ASULutzy | eleos2: Your friend would have to run a VNC server in order for you to be able to use a remote desktop type feature. If all you need is to be able to remotely connect, then your friend could just install an ssh server, and you could ssh to it | 21:21 |
| Slart | dave_: mm.. I'm trying.. hang on.. let me torture ubottu a little in private =) | 21:22 |
| ASULutzy | !freeNX | 21:22 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 21:22 |
| dave_ | Thanks so much, I am very greatful for your generous help and assistance for my problem. | 21:22 |
| eleos2 | asulutzy is that difficult? | 21:22 |
| simpleos | can someone help? or is there another room i should look at? | 21:22 |

| dave_ | Slart: IT just says something had an error and aborted | 21:32 |
| Slart | hwilde: no, didn't mean that.. just that error message from apt | 21:32 |
| hwilde | Slart, what I want to know is, if you run a command that requires sudo, and the system knows it requires sudo, why doesn't it just run the command with sudo, and prompt you for the pw? | 21:32 |

| homy | Andrew1: does the "unlock keyring" dialog that is displayed show a check box for "always unlock when computer is started" or similar? Or does the dialog only have a field to enter the password and ok/cancel buttons? | 21:39 |
| sevenseeker | OT: does Dell own Alienware or do they just have a business partnership? | 21:40 |
| Flannel | sevenseeker: #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:40 |
| Andrew1 | no it doesn't | 21:40 |
| rotzie | hi | 21:40 |
| onetinsoldier | dave_: ok, if you're afraid to delete, then move all those file somewhere else. otherwise, just delete them --> rm -v /var/lib/dpkg/updates* | 21:40 |

| sevenseeker | thanks, I got it | 21:40 |
| homy | Andrew1: hm. | 21:41 |
| rotzie | boot and grub are supposed to be installed to an usb stick (as bios only allows for boot from usb) | 21:41 |
| onetinsoldier | dave_: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -u upgrade | 21:41 |
| sneakers2 | can anybody offer any more information on this problem please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1024950 | 21:41 |
| rotzie | i get many i/o exceptions | 21:41 |
| Andrew1 | i could restart and double check but i'm 90% sure | 21:41 |
| dave_ | rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/updates': Is a directory | 21:41 |
| homy | Andre1: no. | 21:41 |
| Andrew1 | ok | 21:42 |
| sneakers2 | Andrew1, you're correct that there's no remember button, I'm in the same situation (if you're using 8.10) | 21:42 |
| onetinsoldier | dave_: my bad.. i had a typo. sorry. --> rm -v /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* | 21:42 |
| sneakers2 | I also have autologin enabled | 21:42 |
| Andrew1 | ya i just installed this on my moms old computer about a month ago | 21:42 |
| homy | Andrew1: well, I found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/140755, but its with this check box. hm | 21:45 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 21:48 |

| hwilde | Pici, can i have that e1000 link again plz | 21:50 |
| DamnSL | can you repeat please Flannel ? | 21:50 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: Did you take the CD out when you rebooted? What did you do after it rebooted? | 21:50 |
| gavi | folks, which driver has better visual performance for a nvidia gforce4 mx440? the restricted driver or the nvidia driver | 21:50 |
| onetinsoldier | dave_: thanks for letting me know i'm doing a good job :) | 21:50 |
| Flannel | DamnSL: right click, go to properties, set it as executable, or use chmod from a terminal (chmod +x file) | 21:50 |
| onetinsoldier | dave_: :-) you're very welcome. | 21:50 |
| Slart | rblst: well.. I can't really think of any reason for the installer to skip the kernels.. | 21:50 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, i didn't have a cd inserted, the instal cd was mounted | 21:50 |
| DamnSL | thanks | 21:50 |
| whabo | does firefox 2 and firefox 3 have the same dependencies??? i am asking this because i installed exaile music player . and it installed firefox 2 as a dependancy and i cant get rid of it unless i uninstall exaile anyone? help? | 21:50 |
| dave_ | ASULutzy: But it IS a dual boot | 21:50 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, when it rebooted i waited for it to boot back up again.. | 21:50 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: Mounted within windows? So there was no physical CD involved at all? | 21:50 |
| DrRabbit | FUCKING AWESOME. | 21:50 |
| rblst | Slart: the simlinks in / are also created, but they point to no existing file | 21:50 |
| regeya | ... | 21:50 |
| hwilde | Pici, can i have that e1000 link again plz | 21:50 |
| DrRabbit | I love netsplits, guise | 21:50 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, correct | 21:50 |
| Andrew1 | me too i thought it was my computer not being good | 21:50 |
| Flannel | DrRabbit: Please watch your language | 21:50 |
| stefg | sneakers2: but the bootloader still needs to be installed on the first drive (to enable dual booting) . This might have overwritten some superblock/HPA so the fake-raid controller doesn't find the arry any more | 21:50 |
| Flannel | stefg: Wubi doesn't touch the bootloader | 21:50 |
| DrRabbit | Flannel: sorry | 21:50 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: Wubi wont touch your bootloader at all, it simply adds an entry into the boot.ini for windows | 21:51 |
| dave_ | onetinsoldier: Well, credit where credit is due, that's my motto. I believe that you have been a substantial help to the average ubuntu user and have many times assisted me with my own problems. So thanks a lot, keep up the teriffic work. | 21:51 |
| dave_ | :) | 21:51 |
| onetinsoldier | :) | 21:51 |
| stefg | Flannel: ahh... never used it (no windows here). so how does it set up dual booting ? | 21:51 |
| rathel | I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like lang=en_US,UTF-8 or something but that doesn't work. | 21:51 |
| Alatiel | x | 21:51 |
| DrRabbit | okay, thanks guise | 21:51 |
| Andrew1 | when auto login is enabled is there a way that a wireless connection will not ask to unlock the keyring? | 21:51 |
| rblst | Slart: an interesting thing: when i restarted the installer, the partitioning program said that 64M is used on /boot, although there is nothing in that directory | 21:51 |
| Flannel | stefg: It uses boot.ini (windows boot menu thing) to bootstrap... something else on the disk. wubi installs exist as a file in the windows filesystem (well, as two files, I believe) | 21:52 |
| onetinsoldier | rblst: it's reserved space | 21:52 |
| Slart | rblst: you've done a fsck on that partition? | 21:52 |
| DamnSL | Flannel : I +x it but I have the same problem :/ | 21:52 |
| racarter | where's a good place to put shared files? | 21:52 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, so how can it have written to boot.ini if it didn't realise i have a raid array? :S | 21:52 |
| DamnSL | I cant execute it | 21:52 |
| stefg | Flannel: ok... so it uses ntldr, not brub | 21:52 |
| racarter | files that can be accessed by different users | 21:52 |
| stefg | *grub | 21:52 |
| racarter | i was thinking /usr/share/local ? | 21:52 |
| DamnSL | There is no application installed for this file type | 21:52 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: because boot.ini is just a file, and it can write to it just like you write to any file in windows | 21:53 |

| Slart | racarter: for many users on the same computer? | 21:53 |
| yates | with aptitude, that is? | 21:53 |
| racarter | Slart, yes | 21:53 |
| === Guest1869 is now known as bahram | ||
| rblst | Slart, it's a brand new disk, i bought it this afternoon, some hours ago | 21:53 |
| DamnSL | Flannel : the file name is: AutoScan-Network-Linux-1.40.bin | 21:53 |
| enzotib | paper8, bellissimo, trenta rotellini di mouse per scrollarlo tutto | 21:53 |
| onetinsoldier | rblst: i think you can change the percentage of the reserved space(if you're feeling ripped off) with the -m option of the 'tune2fs' command(man tune2fs) | 21:53 |
| sneakers2 | flannel, but if it wrote to boot.ini before i restarted it would have used the windows raid driver and worked fine, i fail to see hwo that killed my raid array | 21:53 |

| homy | Andre1: ok, I found a solution | 21:53 |
| Slart | racarter: well..I think it's really up to you.. you could create a folder in /home if you want.. or somewhere else | 21:53 |
| whabo | does firefox 2 and firefox 3 have the same dependencies??? i am asking this because i installed exaile music player . and it installed firefox 2 as a dependancy and i cant get rid of it unless i uninstall exaile anyone? help? | 21:53 |
| Andrew1 | ok awesome | 21:53 |
| Slart | racarter: I don't think it will break anything | 21:53 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: I don't see any reason why it would have touched your RAID array, no. | 21:54 |
| homy | Andrew1: but: it involves setting the keyring password to blank | 21:54 |
| racarter | just trying to keep with any conventions... | 21:54 |
| racarter | where does ubuntu store wallpaper images/ | 21:54 |
| racarter | ? | 21:54 |
| homy | Andrew1: that means, your saved passwords (like wlan) will be saved unencrypted | 21:54 |
| Andrew1 | ok will that mean that there will be no password for the account? | 21:54 |
| Slart | rblst: I didn't mean for the hard drive.. I meant if the file system had been messed up in the install process.. or you've formatted it during the install? | 21:54 |
| rblst | Slart, yes i did format it | 21:54 |
| homy | Andrew1: you have to be aware that that is a security issue. | 21:54 |
| Flannel | DamnSL: alright, open up a terminal, navigate to the folder it's in. then do this: chmod a+x AutoScan-Network-Linux-1.40.bin (you can use tab complete for the name) and then type this: ./AutoScan-Network-Linux-1.40.bin (you can use tab complete again) | 21:55 |
| rathel | I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like 'lang=en_US,UTF-8' or something but that doesn't work. | 21:55 |
| racarter | ls -AlhXF | 21:55 |
| Andrew1 | i don't think that's a problem as long as no one can use our internet signal without a key | 21:55 |
| stefg | sneakers2: before you didn't have a look at your partition tables (and possible boot blocks for the fake raid controller) everything is just speculation. try testdisk or some other forensic tool to first gain an idea how the disks/part tables look now | 21:55 |
| Andrew1 | what could happen ? | 21:55 |
| rblst | Slart, but i think i just fooled you and myself... | 21:55 |
| sandro_ | hy | 21:56 |
| homy | Andrew1: yes, but exactly that wlan key won't be stored encrypted ... otherwise you would need some sort of password to unlock it. | 21:56 |
| onetinsoldier | rblst: did you see my messages? about tune2fs and the -m option for it? | 21:56 |
| peepsalot | i can't use svn with https protocol. gives me "svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'https://...'" | 21:56 |
| peepsalot | anyone know how to fix this? | 21:56 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, that's a bootable cd? hopefully it | 21:56 |
| Andrew1 | so..people still need a key ? | 21:56 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, that's a bootable cd? hopefully it's not large, slow internet here | 21:56 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: What's a bootable CD? | 21:56 |
| Andrew1 | to use the signal from the router? | 21:56 |
| Slart | rblst: ok =).. what was it? | 21:56 |
| sandro_ | someone of you knows how to install nikon view in linux to control d70 digital camera? | 21:56 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, a live cd? something i can boot from - i have no dos / shell | 21:56 |
| homy | Andrew1: ok, I talked enough, lets get to the solution. Open Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys | 21:57 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: Yeah. A liveCD is a bootable CD. But you may be meaning to talk to stefg | 21:57 |
| Andrew1 | ok | 21:57 |
| Andrew1 | i did that | 21:57 |
| rblst | Slart: because the files are there, i did not mount the boot partition; still, grub does not find the files | 21:57 |
| homy | Andrew1: select Edit->Preferences | 21:57 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, appologies | 21:57 |
| Andrew1 | ok | 21:57 |
| DamnSL | ok it works Flannel thanks | 21:57 |
| DamnSL | :) | 21:57 |
| homy | Andrew1: click on the keyring "login" and choose the button "change Unlcok Password" | 21:57 |
| Slart | rblst: ahhh... then we need to find out why grub doesn't find it.. at least I like this problem better =) | 21:58 |
| sneakers2 | stefg, do you recommend that i use the tool testdisk or something else? | 21:58 |
| stefg | sneakers2: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page or http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ are quite powerful | 21:58 |
| homy | Andrew1: ok? | 21:58 |
| jughead | I'm running ubuntu hardy and I have a comp with ubuntu server and I just added a hard drive. How can I figure out what it is called and partition it? | 21:58 |
| rblst | Slart: sorry for that, and thanks for coming with me this far with my folly... | 21:58 |
| Andrew1 | ok | 21:58 |
| homy | Andrew1: now, enter your password in the "old password" field and click change, without entering a new password. | 21:59 |
| homy | Andrew1: probably a warning will occur, that this is insecure. | 21:59 |
| Slart | rblst: no worries, happy to do it | 21:59 |
| sneakers2 | Flannel, so you dont know what could have caused the raid array to fail? any guesses? | 21:59 |
| onetinsoldier | jughead: probably fdisk -l and perhaps blkid | 21:59 |
| Andrew1 | ok that happenned | 21:59 |
| Flannel | sneakers2: No idea | 21:59 |
| Andrew1 | is that it? | 21:59 |
| homy | Andrew1: yeah, so just click "ok" in that warning. | 21:59 |
| forces | hi! | 21:59 |
| onetinsoldier | !hi | forces | 22:00 |
| ubottu | forces: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 22:00 |
| homy | Andrew1: ok, you're all set now. no passwords anymore | 22:00 |
| forces | :O | 22:00 |
| forces | :P | 22:00 |
| stefg | sneakers2: the general startegy is: first find out waht actually happened... DON'T DO ANYTHING before you know what you're doing... then check if recovery is possible or scrap as much data from the disks as possible and reinstall | 22:00 |
| forces | thanks | 22:00 |
| forces | I need some help | 22:00 |
| jughead | I tried fdisk -l and I didn't get anything back onetinsoldier do I need to run this with sudo? | 22:00 |
| homy | !ask | forces | 22:00 |
| ubottu | forces: 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. :-) | 22:00 |
| forces | I have bought a new netbook, acer aspire one | 22:00 |
| forces | I wanna install ubuntu | 22:00 |
| forces | but I dont have cd-rom | 22:00 |
| Andrew1 | wow that is really great thank you so much i have been looking for a long time today to get this issue resolved | 22:00 |
| garik_ | where do i set the number of workspaces | 22:00 |
| onetinsoldier | jughead: yes | 22:00 |
| forces | I only have 2 usb memory (128MB, 2Gb) | 22:01 |
| Andrew1 | without editing in terminal and stuff like that which i'm not good at | 22:01 |
| Slart | garik_: are you using desktop effects? | 22:01 |
| forces | what is the best way to install ubuntu? | 22:01 |
| stefg | sneakers2: ah.. and BTW : raid 0 on a desktop is dangerous nonsense... | 22:01 |
| forces | ubuntu 8.04.1 | 22:01 |
| homy | Andrew1: but remember: everybody with access to your files can also read your saved passwords (that are saved in the keyring), like your wlan password. Glad to have helped, zoed | 22:01 |
| garik_ | Slart, yes - compiz | 22:01 |
| homy | !aspire one | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aspire one | 22:01 |
| Andrew1 | so if anyone is on this computer they can find out passwords? | 22:02 |
| sneakers2 | stefg, both drives were new and i was planning on reinstalling (and changing to raid 1 *after i'd finished the work i was doing today*, except now i'm going to have to do it all again :( | 22:02 |
| Slart | garik_: then it's in the compiz config settings manager.. type !ccsm for more info about that.. in the general section, last tab iirc | 22:02 |
| homy | forces: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne | 22:02 |
| forces | :P | 22:02 |
| homy | Andrew1: theoretically, yes. But, there is no possibility of automatically connecting to wlan without entering a password sometime (during login, keyring unlock...) | 22:03 |
| lockwood_dev | i'm ircing on the AspireOne | 22:03 |
| lockwood_dev | ubuntu works fine here | 22:03 |
| garik_ | Slart, i found "number of desktops" but can't change it from 1 , is it this one? | 22:03 |
| homy | lockwood_dev: just because forces asked | 22:03 |
| Slart | garik_: it's the horizontal desktops and vertical desktops | 22:03 |
| Slart | garik_: compiz uses a grid of desktops | 22:04 |
| Andrew1 | ok that's great thanks again. . . i'll be back if it doesn't work ..:) | 22:04 |
| homy | Andrew1: ok, although I prob wont be here anymore... But its gonna work, every bet. | 22:04 |
| Andrew1 | cool man thanks | 22:05 |
| Rocket | how have idea about make v4l2 computability cam working with kopete | 22:05 |
| homy | Andrew1: you're welcome. | 22:05 |
| onetinsoldier | forces: are you wanting to install ubuntu onto a usb stick, like permanently? (aka persistent usb install) if so, you might want to get a 4 GB stick for that | 22:05 |
| Groo | Has anyone here played with hot plug PCIe on 8.10? Jaunty? | 22:05 |
| garik_ | Slart, thnx - i even didn't think about it, just helping friend to configure the comp, as mself i don't use compiz =) | 22:05 |
| bogsdev | hey all! I have a quick question about GNU screen. | 22:06 |
| garik_ | now if anyone can help me to configurate onine stream video | 22:06 |
| Da_Dude | is there anyway to make Aramok start when an IPOD is connected, versus Rhythmbox? | 22:06 |
| garik_ | i only get sound and no picture | 22:06 |
| stefg | sneakers2: ah... and BTW: if you're reinstalling anyway: spare some 10 Gig-Partition for a proper ubuntu install.. wubi isn't far away from dangerous nonsense, too (as you've probably noticed) | 22:06 |
| Slart | garik_: you're welcome.. I don't actually know what that "number of desktops" slider does.. weird that they'd put it in if it doesn't do anything.. | 22:06 |
| bogsdev | If I have one screen split horizontally, can I have another that is not and switch back and forth between the split screen and the non-split screen? | 22:06 |
| issa | HI, is there a way to install MAC programs in linux/ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| garik_ | Da_Dude, yes - u have to check out hal and write some scripts as i understand | 22:07 |
| Rocket | how have idea about make v4l2 computability cam working with kopete | 22:07 |
| Da_Dude | garik_, man...that sucks | 22:07 |
| homy | Da_Dude: yes - open any nautilus windows and go to "Editr->Preferences->Media and select Amarok for Music Player. | 22:07 |
| garik_ | Da_Dude, just google | 22:07 |
| homy | Da_Dude: or try out what I said | 22:08 |
| hard12 | NO WAY KUBUNTU IS BETTER THAN UBUNTU | 22:08 |

| racarter | is ssh server installed by default in ubuntu 8.10? | 22:09 |
| biouser | racarter maybe sshd | 22:09 |

| lockwood_dev | issa: and most of osx is closed source | 22:11 |
| x0r | Da_Dude, you could jsut say Dapper Drake, or 6.06 | 22:11 |
| Da_Dude | not everyone always knows that :) | 22:12 |

| Da_Dude | nope | 22:13 |
| rblst | Slart: i justed had to swap hd0 and hd1, thanks a lot for your persevering help | 22:13 |
| onetinsoldier | jughead: sweet. you didn't use fdisk to make partitions did you? | 22:13 |
| Da_Dude | homy, damn...I'm on my desktop running hardy, not Ibex | 22:14 |
| Da_Dude | heheh | 22:14 |

| Slart | rblst: ah.. I've been reading up on how grub does it's magic.. interesting stuff.. you're welcome | 22:14 |
| jughead | yeah I used fdisk onetinsoldier, was I supposed to do something differently? | 22:14 |
| homy | Da_Dude: well, ok, that solves the problem I guess. So no screenshot afterall. | 22:14 |
| Da_Dude | homy, anyway to accomplish the same thing in Hardy? | 22:15 |
| onetinsoldier | jughead: you might consider remaking them, with gparted | 22:15 |
| homy | Da_Dude: I think in hardy the option was System->Removable Drives or something like that? | 22:15 |
| homy | Ahh. System->Preferences | 22:15 |
| fabio | hello everyone from italy :) | 22:15 |
| x0r | Da_Dude, it sounds so weird when you just say the seccond word (Ibex, Heron, Drake ...) | 22:15 |

| homy | System->Preferences->Removable drives & Media or sth similiar | 22:15 |
| w00w | all | 22:15 |
| jughead | will I run into problems with fdisk created partitions? I am using ssh from another comp since the server is headless | 22:15 |
| Da_Dude | homy, nah..I looked there first | 22:15 |
| homy | x0r: yeah, normally you say intrepid or hardy, dapper ... | 22:15 |
| w00w | i have to DD but how can i see and check where i m saving my files? | 22:16 |
| homy | Da_Dude: well, sorry then. What options does the Media tab give you in the nautilus pref. window? | 22:16 |
| Da_Dude | x0r, I got your point }:) | 22:16 |
| w00w | 2 | 22:16 |
| Da_Dude | homy, do nothing, ask, or open folder | 22:16 |
| x0r | Da_Dude, nah, no problem :). It only sounds pretty strange, but... oh well.. :) | 22:16 |
| sneakers2 | stefg, i'd planned on giving it the 320gb drive and using it as a main OS, I've used ubuntu for almost a year on my laptop, i was just curious as to how wubi worked and wanted to give it a try. serves me right for wanting to try new technology | 22:17 |
| onetinsoldier | jughead: fdisk is good for list partitions on the command line, but that's about it. just read the man page for fdisk, it old and ancient --> fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to produce reasonable results | 22:17 |
| homy | Da_Dude: well, I sugest selecting "ask" and then selecting Amarok in the "ask" dialog that popups when you plugin an ipon | 22:17 |

| Mal3ko | guys, what's the meta name for DBI module? | 22:54 |
| thebloggu | hey | 22:54 |
| onetinsoldier | racarter: there''s some differences, but not a whole lot. aptitude tracks packages that were automatically installed to sastify dependencies and will wutomatically uninstall them if the original package that depended on them is uninstalled is one difference. another is that aptitude is supposedly a little more intelligent about resloving dependencies | 22:54 |
| thebloggu | i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd | 22:54 |

| puppiesRcute | no one has any info this girls brain is fried honestly im not good with computers | 22:55 |
| darkfrog | Slart, do I need to pull those drives out of the "RAID" or is it safe to just use it as-is since it looks like Linux ignores it anyway? | 22:55 |
| lancer | Anyone home? | 22:55 |
| adaptr | no | 22:56 |
| thebloggu | i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? | 22:56 |
| puppiesRcute | i like linux but blonds wasnt meant to have linux i dont think | 22:56 |
| Slart | darkfrog: I'm not really sure..on my motherboard I can switch from raid function to just regular hard drive connection | 22:56 |
| Slart | darkfrog: so I don't have to actually change cables around.. just disable the raid feature | 22:56 |
| onetinsoldier | DClayBuck: hmmm, i see. you might benefit frommaking sure you have the latest driver installed and perhaps making sure you have a fully filled out xorg.conf file. but there's nothing that i know that will be a guaranteed fix | 22:56 |
| eseven73 | lol puppiesRcute as easy as linux has gotten recently, it's still geeky :) | 22:57 |
| puppiesRcute | ya linux rocks but having problems with virtual box and vmware | 22:57 |
| Slart | darkfrog: if I were you I'd try to disable that raid feature.. it would be really annoying if you started using the drives and then one day the raid chip decides it's time to rebuild the array and wipes everything | 22:57 |
| darkfrog | Slart, am I better off just doing a re-install of Ubuntu and using the disk partitioning wizard, or is there a way to manage the partitions graphically from in Ubuntu? | 22:57 |
| R0b0t1 | Which plugin for Firefox for Java is the one that works for x86_64? | 22:57 |
| eseven73 | vmware is a mess, that silly web interface is a joke, stick with virtualbox , what sort of issues are you having specifically puppiesRcute ? | 22:58 |
| darkfrog | Slart: good point | 22:58 |
| homy | thebloggu: click on System->Preferences->Keybourd shortcuts and set the "sound" keys accordingly. | 22:58 |
| puppiesRcute | like linux for several reasons but so many problems ah virtual box wont load my virtual disks some error always pops up | 22:58 |
| andresmh | thanks eseven73 | 22:58 |
| Slart | darkfrog: I would probably reinstall ubuntu.. depends a bit on how much time you've invested in your install.. | 22:59 |
| darkfrog | Slart, not a lot | 22:59 |
| puppiesRcute | vmware still buggy but downloading the player so it might work | 22:59 |
| DClayBuck | onetinsoldier: I'm a little confused about Jockey and the ATI drivers. Is there a way to force Jockey to let me choose from a list? Or is there another method of installing the drivers? | 22:59 |
| andresmh | how can I get the current resolution? | 22:59 |
| Slart | darkfrog: then I would reinstall.. it's a fairly quick process | 22:59 |
| onetinsoldier | DClayBuck: let's see what you driver version is. try the following command, if their all the same, then just paste in one line --> dpkg -l '*fglrx*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2, $3}' | sed 's/ / /' | 22:59 |
| eseven73 | np andresmh and to view other hidden stuff, do 'ls -A' in a terminal | 22:59 |
| darkfrog | Slart, seems crazy that Ubuntu has such an awesome partition manager that's not available anywhere except in the installer | 22:59 |
| onetinsoldier | DClayBuck: if they're all the same version* | 22:59 |
| Slart | darkfrog: it doesn't use gparted? | 23:00 |
| puppiesRcute | the computer my bff let me use is linux still learning hes out so im stuck | 23:00 |
| eseven73 | puppiesRcute: are you trying to create VM's? if so you'll need vmware server 2.0 (its free as in free beer) | 23:00 |
| Slart | !info gparted | darkfrog | 23:00 |
| ubottu | gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.8-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 342 kB, installed size 2212 kB | 23:00 |

| puppiesRcute | i was just trying isos | 23:00 |
| eseven73 | yeah vm player is just to 'play' already made VM's | 23:00 |
| darkfrog | Slart: oh, I can use that directly? The RAID is a completely separate set of drives...my OS is installed on a 250gig drive | 23:00 |
| Bezzie | hey gents... I'm having a bit of a problem with upgrading my ubuntu server install. I'm currently runing 7.04 and I'm trying to upgrade to 7.10. I followed the directions on the website and i am using the do-release-upgrade. It errors out because it fails to fetch the feisty info from us.archive.ubuntu, so I comented that out in my sources.list and replaced it with the old-releases one. THEN, later in the upgrade process it errors out on the upgrade pr | 23:01 |
| darkfrog | Slart, I just added the three 1tb drives | 23:01 |
| Slart | darkfrog: oh.. then there's no need to reinstall.. sorry.. my bnad | 23:01 |
| Slart | *bad | 23:01 |
| puppiesRcute | does virtual box require any thing to make vms or use isos | 23:01 |
| DClayBuck | onetinsoldier: 2:8.543-0ubuntu4 | 23:01 |
| === lancer is now known as LancerNZ | ||
| darkfrog | Slart, do I just type gparted in terminal? | 23:01 |
| Bezzie | then asks if i want to just convert from fiesty to gutsy, so I do... Then it errors out about the old-releases not having gutsy! :P | 23:01 |
| Slart | puppiesRcute: I don't know about isos.. but I've created several vm's with it | 23:01 |
| Slart | darkfrog: run "sudo apt-get install gparted" first | 23:01 |
| amjad | ok any one ever had problem with wicd | 23:01 |
| puppiesRcute | kewl might try it that might be my problem | 23:01 |
| Slart | darkfrog: then it's available in system, administration, partition editor | 23:01 |

| ceafu | hello all. i have a quick mount/fstab question i am hoping someone can answer. what is mode=1777 | 23:02 |
| eseven73 | puppiesRcute: nope, just install virtualbox, ummm the one in the repos is a opensource version and cannot use USB , but you can download the non free version from vbox's site that has usb support | 23:02 |
| Slart | puppiesRcute: or .. wait.. I used isos to install the operating systems.. so that worked | 23:02 |
| onetinsoldier | DClayBuck: here's one of mine... fglrx-kernel-source 2:8.561-0ubuntu1 | 23:02 |
| zsquareplusc | Bezzie: there's a bug in lauchpad.net about that, i think for update-manager. not sure if the comments there have a workaround though | 23:02 |
| GrathXVI | How do I find out what video outputs I have in Intrepid? | 23:03 |
| Dr_Graph | hi | 23:03 |
| Bezzie | hrm. ok. I'll take a peek zsquare. Thanks! | 23:03 |
| GrathXVI | xrandr doesn't seem to show the name of the output | 23:03 |
| puppiesRcute | smart guys rock k it said isos did work so hopefully it was just a bug | 23:03 |
| zsquareplusc | eseven73: and now even 3D accel too :-)) | 23:03 |
| Bezzie | didnt even realize that 7.04 was eol already till i went to install a dev lib :P | 23:03 |
| DClayBuck | onetinsoldier: So do I need to abandon Jockey altogether? I'm not altogether certain what the best way to update the driver is. | 23:03 |
| Slart | puppiesRcute: in the Virtualbox manager thingy you can select an iso to be used as a cd-drive.. that worked for me | 23:04 |
| eseven73 | zsquareplusc: DirectX? or OpenGL? | 23:04 |
| === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz | ||

| hexB | Almtesh, thanks, i don't think apache will do quite what i want. I mean at a network level, like different routes on the network | 23:37 |
| isilion | hi. i cannot connect to my pc using ssh. the desired port is open but dont work with daemon. it connects ok by default port 22 | 23:38 |
| Almtesh | sinbox This command will show you needed package, package needing and other interresting infos. | 23:38 |

| linny1 | ive recently started using ubuntu and im having problems burning dvd-rs ive downloaded that are in the .img format. | 23:39 |
| linny1 | Ive googled high and low and even tried windows programs in wine, ill explain what ive done and what problems ive had.... | 23:39 |
| linny1 | first i tried k3b it does burn them natively but the end of the dvd seems to jump and sometimes cuts off the end of the movie. (i use k3b to burn .isos and they work fine) | 23:39 |
| linny1 | so i tried to convert using ccd2iso but i havent been able to convert one .img to an iso with it. in the man pages it does say that it doesnt work with all .img files. (the error i get is Error: cannot open source file for reading! ) | 23:39 |
| linny1 | then i tried to convert them in magiciso in wine but it freezes an 8% i also tried clonecd/dvd but i couldnt get that working in wine.any ideas at all would be really helpful im losing my hair over this. thanks in advance | 23:39 |
| zsquareplusc | Almtesh: it's probably the wrong channel here, but you will have better luck anyway, by just asking.. not asking to ask | 23:40 |
| sinbox | looking through that thanks Pici et merci Almtesh | 23:40 |
| hexB | zsquareplusc, not really, but i'm not sure, i have one nic on my desktop, i'm talking about one computer, but it has two virtual interfaces (there are two gateways on my LAN) it's working on both, but i want to route port 80 on one gateway and port 81(eg) to the other | 23:40 |

| zsquareplusc | Almtesh: instead of asking if someone knows dnsmask, better just ask the real question | 23:42 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, im trying to connect from the proper pc, i got this out: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host | 23:42 |

| Almtesh | mxu_ You must put it in a init script. | 23:44 |
| mxu_ | Almtesh, i also ran update-rc.d firewall.sh defaults | 23:44 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, what must look for in /var/log/auth.log | 23:44 |

| R0b0t1 | Wait, the Java test page works. | 23:49 |
| Almtesh | biouser Why don't you use your local manpages? | 23:49 |
| R0b0t1 | But nothing else. | 23:49 |
| MrCollins | gparted gives me this error message at http://pastebin.com/m7d3dde6d can someone have a look please? | 23:49 |

| biouser | Almtesh I'm saying I think the repo is broken or something and the site | 23:50 |
| roy_hobbs | MrCollins: you mean that read-only message? | 23:50 |
| biouser | http://packages.medibuntu.org/ can you load that Almtesh | 23:50 |
| andi5 | eut: "man mplayer" will list you key bindings and also commands you can put into your mplayer configuration file | 23:50 |
| biouser | ? | 23:50 |
| zsquareplusc | hexB: i can't speak for others but i don't care. when the channel is busy it's more noise ;-) | 23:50 |
| hexB | zsquareplusc, thanks ;) | 23:50 |
| MrCollins | roy_hobbs, yes, please. | 23:51 |
| MrCollins | roy_hobbs, I love that movie too! ;) | 23:51 |

| nwbie_ | hello, is there any command to install the madwifi driver directly from the command prompt? | 23:52 |
| Almtesh | Use another repo. | 23:52 |
| MrCollins | roy_hobbs, in gparted it allows me to unmount and I do so before it applys the format | 23:52 |

| jeeves_Moss | is anyone here any good @ troubleshooting VPN connections to a M$ box? | 23:54 |
| roy_hobbs | MrCollins: so in GParted you can selected /dev/sdc and see the entire thing is unallocated space? | 23:54 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: you probably typed the password wrong some time ago ;-) but that is not related to ssh. if you don't see any messages from sshd (watch the timestamps), it might disconnect before it reaches sshd | 23:54 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: is the server actually opening that other port? netstat -l | 23:54 |
| MrCollins | roy_hobbs, pretty much it has a single directory and one mp3 i do not care about on it. | 23:55 |
| kitche | Almtesh: yeah to bad it's a common question since not all cards work well with the ath* drivers | 23:55 |
| MrCollins | roy_hobbs, gparted shows the unallocated space | 23:55 |
| simmerz | is the medibuntu package server down for anyone else? | 23:55 |

| Almtesh | nwbie_: man iwconfig | 23:56 |
| roy_hobbs | MrCollins: so if you mount it are you able to put files on it? | 23:56 |
| MrCollins | roy_hobbs, no. | 23:56 |

| scythefwd | almtesh, the ath0 is using a different driver than the default wireless extensions | 23:58 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, in hosts.allow ALL is uncomented | 23:58 |
| Almtesh | scythefwd What? | 23:58 |
