| zsquareplusc | isilion: yes. unless you have an ALL in .deny it's accepting all connections anyway | 00:01 |
| Almtesh | R0b0t1: I have a 64-bit processor, but I can't use a 64-bit kernel because the wireless card, flash, Java and screensavers don't work on it. | 00:01 |
| SSilver2k | wtf, now it just started working | 00:01 |
| zsquareplusc | Almtesh: there is a 64 bit flash beta from adobe | 00:01 |
| scythefwd | almetesh, if the wireless card you are using works with the ubuntu wireless extensions, it will default to eth1 once it is configured, I havn't seen a wlan0 but my experience is limited | 00:01 |
| onetinsoldier | Almtesh: what's the output of... uname -m ?? | 00:01 |
| R0b0t1 | Almtesh: Odd, I've gotten all three to work :) (except Java, I'm working on that now, it has worked in the past) | 00:01 |

Ive googled high and low and even tried windows programs in wine, ill explain what ive done and what problems ive had....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). So i tried to convert | 00:05 |

| techsuperfreak | mrcollins | 00:06 |
| linny1 | sfer21: lol now i forgotten how to type look :) | 00:06 |

| mohbana | can i control my friends pc remotely? | 00:06 |
| mohbana | he needs help | 00:07 |
| zsquareplusc | benben: you don't, usally use runlevel 3 on ubuntu | 00:07 |
| sfer21 | kitche: but no-one's known an answer | 00:07 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, yeah trying now | 00:07 |
| sfer21 | linny1: maybe better to come back later | 00:07 |
| hocem | help please ...what is the better wifi software?? | 00:07 |
| kitche | sfer21: hence why he needed to ask again | 00:07 |
| Almtesh | mohbana You want to control your friend's PC? | 00:07 |
| kitche | linny1: sounds like the .img is just cut short actually | 00:07 |
| mohbana | Almtesh: like remote desktop on windows | 00:07 |
| benben | zsquareplusc, huh? Do you mean I am already at run level 3? | 00:07 |
| Almtesh | mohbana Using what? | 00:07 |
| linny1 | sfer21: what so im aske3d to leave now for asking the same question 5 mins apart ? | 00:07 |
| zsquareplusc | mohbana: yes. he ca share his screen and you can connect to using terminal server client or a vnc client | 00:07 |
| riegersn | !irexec | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about irexec | 00:08 |
| mohbana | do you have a link? | 00:08 |
| onetinsoldier | benben: are you in x-windows? | 00:08 |
| mohbana | zsquareplusc: and Almtesh | 00:08 |
| Almtesh | mohbana What the OS of remote controlled PCs? | 00:08 |
| sfer21 | kitche: usually, if no-one displays interest in the question 3 times, obviously there isn't anyone to help. | 00:08 |
| zsquareplusc | benben: no, usually 2. but ubuntu doesn't use runlevels 3,4,5. they aren't any different from 2 | 00:08 |
| R0b0t1 | I'm still trying to get Java to work. IS EVERYONE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE SOMETHING?! | 00:08 |
| benben | onetinsoldier, yes, and i want to boot to command line without any GUI stuff | 00:08 |
| linny1 | kitche: no ive rule that out ive tried multiple img files thanks for the input tho :) | 00:08 |
| mohbana | ubuntu 8.10 and i'm using the same, | 00:08 |
| mohbana | his might be a 32bit | 00:08 |
| kitche | sfer21: he only asked it twice | 00:08 |
| onetinsoldier | benben: ok... here's intructions on how to get to command line | 00:08 |
| ciro | hi all | 00:08 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, why i can connect to port 22, but no to the one i want? | 00:08 |
| zsquareplusc | benben: then try the recovery mode or add "text" to the kernel command line | 00:08 |
| sfer21 | linny1: no, i didn't say to leave, i said if you're looking for help you may want to come back later because asking the same group of people a few times isn't going to get anything if it didn't the first time | 00:09 |
| linny1 | sfer21: and that works assuming nobody new comes to the channel | 00:09 |
| Almtesh | Against all odds, dnsmasq does not want to assume its DHCP functions. What can I do? | 00:09 |
| kitche | linny1: hmm might want to ask a more advance channel actually on how to convert img to .isos but myself I tend to just extract everything and burn them regular usually | 00:09 |
| benben | zsquareplusc, thanks | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | 1) log out of x-windows.... menu up top System -- Log Out <username> 2) Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 00:09 |

| zsquareplusc | isilion a firewall or /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} might be blocking the connection as you say the server is listening in that port. if its across internet the IPS might also filter | 00:10 |
| mohbana | Almtesh: ubunun 8.10 32/64bit | 00:10 |
| sfer21 | linny1: i've gone through, you've asked 5 times, i suggested maybe coming back later when other people will be on. this is an international channel. | 00:10 |
| riegersn | !find irexec | 00:10 |
| ubottu | File irexec found in lirc | 00:10 |
| onetinsoldier | benben: there's a little more to the instructions if you are wanting to actually shut x-windows down(turn it off) | 00:10 |
| linny1 | kitche: i didnt know that was an option how would i go about doing that then ? i just want to get them onto the dvds | 00:10 |
| benben | onetinsoldier, that is just switching between terminals...i basically don't want x windows to run at all | 00:10 |

| kitche | linny1: well you can mount the .img usually but not sure how on linux since I forgot most of the linux specific things | 00:11 |
| zsquareplusc | mohbana: the other question is, how to connect. if it is across the internet it might be tricky (NAT routers..) | 00:11 |

| kdl | can someoneplease help me when youhave a moment | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | benben: ok. are you wanting this behavior permanently? | 00:12 |
| mohbana | via internet, nothing complex, we each connect to the net via a adsl box | 00:12 |
| sfer21 | linny1: can't you just go "burn dvd image" in k3b? | 00:12 |
| linny1 | kitche: ill google and give it a go thanks for your help at least i have a new lead to try happy new year | 00:12 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: you could run sshd with -d instead of as a daemon to get more verbose debug outputs. or use nc/nc -l to check if you can make connections between pcs on that specific port | 00:12 |
| sfer21 | oh wait, that's iso | 00:12 |

| isilion | zsquareplusc, whats the path to sshd to run sshd -d? | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | benben: ok. 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console termminal 5) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (for example --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop <--, this shuts down x-windows completely) | 00:14 |
| linny1 | sfer21: k3b doent purn them properly it messes up the ends of the films it works fine with .isos tho ? | 00:14 |
| Almtesh | I go to sleep. | 00:14 |
| redd1 | i added the q3 data files from the repository...but i cant play yet...what do i need to do? | 00:14 |
| zsquareplusc | mohbana: once the friend runs the desktop sharing you need to figure out how to connect to him. theoretically just a "vncviewer hisip", but when ther is a NAT router, you need to set up port forwarding on his side. this is also not encrypted. you could use ssh to make secure tunnels | 00:14 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, when I am in the dir and I do ls -l it returns total 0 | 00:14 |
| white-sheep | kozlojak: I don't think so. Windows + Xbox360 are made by Microsoft. | 00:15 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: ls -l ~/usbdrive | 00:15 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: just sshd? that works here | 00:15 |
| sfer21 | linny1: i think i have an answer | 00:15 |

| Milos_SD | SaturnDriver, I compiled 2.6.28 kernel and now it is 7.7 GiB, but in Ubuntus generic 2.6.27-11 it was 7.8 GiB :) | 00:25 |
| sfer23 | have passed it onto #ubuntu-irc | 00:25 |
| LITS | is there any multiplayer reversi game for ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| SaturnDriver | Milos_SD: Well I mean, with the same kernel it should stay the same. If it's 7.7GB one day, and 7.6GB the other day without reconfiguring anything then i'd be worried | 00:25 |
| white-sheep | Milos_SD: You have lot of RAMS -- I don't think this should be something you should be worrying about. ;) | 00:26 |
| redd1 | how do i run quake 3 after installing the data files from the repo? | 00:26 |
| ncfi1013 | "KLauncher could not be reached via D-Bus. Error when calling start_service_by_desktop_path: empty." is this some thing i should worry about? what does it mean? if i should worry about it, how do i fix it? | 00:26 |
| rhousand | is there not a way to have wifi auto join any unsecured network | 00:26 |
| qwexer | does anyone have a rocketfish bluetooth adapter working? | 00:26 |
| Gnea | redd1: i think you type 'quake3' and press enter in a terminal | 00:26 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: so fas so good, it binds on port 1720 on all interfaces. now if you connect, do you get any errors? | 00:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | redd1: copy the *.pak-files to base-directory and then type quake3 | 00:27 |
| sfer23 | There we go. | 00:27 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 00:27 |
| redd1 | gnea: doesnt work...it installed from the repo with my cd in the drive but i wonder why it wont run i do not see a listing for the game ither | 00:27 |
| eseven73 | sfer23 :) | 00:27 |
| Gnea | redd1: depends on where it installed to, i guess | 00:28 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, look http://paste.ubuntu.com/95498/ | 00:28 |
| derklempner | I'm trying to update my nVidia drivers, but I can't figure out how to restart the system without also restarting the X server. Any tips? | 00:28 |

| onetinsoldier | redd1: you might have to type in the full path to the game, depending on where it installed to | 00:28 |
| techsuperfreak | derk: you want the machine to start in terminal? | 00:28 |
| trav1085 | :( | 00:28 |
| derklempner | Yes, I do. | 00:28 |
| trav1085 | i think i destroyed 105 GB of my personal data | 00:29 |
| redd1 | how do i find it? | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | i was resizing a partition and then i cancelled it | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | and now i can't read the drive in ubuntu | 00:29 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: if it sas tcp wrapper i guess its because of /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | and i have no other windows installations that work due to a virus | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | but just because i cancelled the resizing, | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | the data should be there | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | right? | 00:29 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: updatedb.... when that finishes ---> locate quake3 | less | 00:29 |
| sfer23 | !enter | trav1085 | 00:29 |
| ubottu | trav1085: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:29 |
| trav1085 | but i don't know how to access it <_< | 00:29 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, not. it says "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host | 00:30 |
| isilion | " | 00:30 |
| zsquareplusc | trav1085: please don't use enter as punctuation. and what format was that parition you resiszed? | 00:30 |
| white-sheep | You canceled the process of resizing hard disk -- and the data it contains. You didn't make a backup. :-\ | 00:30 |
| trav1085 | it was ntfs | 00:30 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: you'll need --> sudo updatedb ..actually | 00:30 |
| trav1085 | it was just a resize, | 00:30 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: look at line 22 of your paste | 00:30 |
| ncfi1013 | "KLauncher could not be reached via D-Bus. Error when calling start_service_by_desktop_path: empty." is this some thing i should worry about? what does it mean? if i should worry about it, how do i fix it? | 00:31 |
| trav1085 | gparted reads the harddrive as one ntfs partition, and ubuntu tells me to run chkdsk | 00:31 |
| Ratius | is it possible to make a specific directory have by default a primary group appended to any file created for any users in that directory?

| qwexer | does anyone have any bluetooth adapters working in 8.04? | 00:31 |
| derklempner | How do I restart in terminal mode? | 00:31 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: restart what? Ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| olli_ | qwexer, yeah, me | 00:32 |
| zsquareplusc | trav1085: there is ntfsfix and others. there is a ntfs-tools package IIRC. but i don't know if thats really helping to restore data.. i'd copy the partition prevously to trying to fixing (dd/partimage) | 00:32 |
| vader | derklempner: sudo shutdown -r now | 00:32 |
| qwexer | olli_: is it usb, and did you just plug and play? What brand? | 00:32 |
| olli_ | does anyone know whether it is possible to close all windows of a certain desk at once? | 00:32 |
| onetinsoldier | derklempner: are you wanting to reboot? | 00:32 |
| trav1085 | well what i was trying to do was resize my 1 only ntfs partition, so that i could then create another ntfs to transfer my personal files to it and then format the "corrupted" partition my data was on | 00:33 |
| redd1 | onetinsoldier: it found it under usr\share\ggames\quake3....but i still cannot execute it | 00:33 |
| olli_ | qwexer, it is usb, I just plug and played it and erm, I forgot the bran | 00:33 |
| zsquareplusc | Ratius: you can set the S bit on directories. but for cvs, cvs has means to map users itself (if your using pserver) | 00:33 |
| derklempner | No, I'd like to restart my machine into terminal mode. Can I just use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then "/etc/init.d/gdm start" to restart it? | 00:33 |
| Labmonkey1 | hi | 00:33 |
| techsuperfreak | derk: | 00:33 |
| white-sheep | derklempner: That'll work. | 00:33 |
| derklempner | Thanks! | 00:33 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: what does this command give for output? --> file /usr\share\games\quake3 | 00:33 |
| isilion | zsquareplusc, whats tcpwrapper and how i get rid off it? | 00:33 |
| onetinsoldier | oops | 00:34 |
| white-sheep | derklempner: I think you can also do restart instead of stop/start. | 00:34 |
| Ratius | thanks zsquareplusc Im using CVS through extssh though | 00:34 |
| qwexer | olli_: ok, mine isn't showing up when I plug it in | 00:34 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: what does this command give for output? --> file /usr/share/games/quake3 | 00:34 |
| derklempner | Well, I think I need to update my nVidia drivers because of an issue I'm having with a game crashing constantly. So I don't want to restart completely, just enter terminal mode. | 00:34 |
| redd1 | directoy | 00:35 |
| kevin_ | hello, can i use wubi to install a basic command line system? this laptop only has 256 megs of ram, so i want to build up a base system instead of doing a full install | 00:35 |
| olli_ | qwexer, there is a tool which shows all the attached usb devices... | 00:35 |
| olli_ | what was its name.... | 00:35 |
| Labmonkey1 | So I've been trying to install ubuntu on an old inspiron laptop, and I got it working with minimal problems. But now I need to run it on an external monitor, and it is behaving strangely. It works on the other monitor until gnome starts, then it goes back to the laptop monitor. | 00:35 |
| Labmonkey1 | I've googled around, and cannot seem to find solutions. Do you need any more information? | 00:35 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: ok, then that's not the executable. do you know the exact name of the executable? if not, go into that directory and see if you can see it | 00:35 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: "man hosts", also look at tcpdchk or tcpdmatch | 00:35 |
| stickboy | hey. I just got a new external but ubuntu (8.10) won't recognize it so that I can format it. any ideas? | 00:36 |
| redd1 | onetin1: it just comes up as directory...what would the exec file be? | 00:36 |
| olli_ | << I guess Mad Cow, as in denny crane ;) | 00:36 |
| hollywoodb | I don't want to have universe & multiverse enabled all the time, but I'd like to temporarily enable them to install a single package... is there a way to do this easily with apt-get ? | 00:36 |
| Jangari | I'm having the same problem, Labmonkey1, I don't have a solution | 00:36 |
| redd1 | onetin1: inside quake3 there is baseq3 folder with the pak files in it | 00:36 |
| olli_ | is there a way to close all laptops of the current desk at once? | 00:37 |
| olli_ | gnaaa | 00:37 |
| zsquareplusc | isilion: i mean man hosts.allow | 00:37 |
| olli_ | sorry | 00:37 |
| Labmonkey1 | so anyobdy got any ideas | 00:37 |
| olli_ | is there a way to close all windows of the current desktop at once? | 00:37 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: still does not sound like the game executable... see if you and find it. i know of a gui that will help you find executable only files... | 00:37 |
| Jangari | Labmonkey1: this is what happens to me: the login screen shows up on both laptop and external monitor, but as soon as I log in, the external shows 'input not supported' and the laptop goes blank | 00:37 |
| Labmonkey1 | was that directed at me lol? I can't tell | 00:37 |
| justmeok | how do you delete directories in terminal and delete everything inside of them with a command? | 00:38 |
| kevin_ | you can minimize them all with a control+alt+d | 00:38 |
| redd1 | yea? | 00:38 |
| Labmonkey1 | jangari | 00:38 |
| olli_ | justmeok, rm -r | 00:38 |
| Jangari | yes it was, that's why your name was in it | 00:38 |
| Labmonkey1 | yea | 00:38 |
| zsquareplusc | olli_: joke answer: ctrl+alt+backspace ;-) or keep on hitting alt-f4 | 00:38 |
| Labmonkey1 | I was reffering to a different message | 00:38 |
| isilion | But its ALL in .allow | 00:38 |
| justmeok | thanks | 00:38 |
| olli_ | zsquareplusc, :D | 00:38 |
| techsuperfreak | monkey: any output from dmesg | 00:38 |
| redd1 | onetin: do i have to run it from the cd? | 00:39 |
| Labmonkey1 | techsuperfreak: what's dmesg lol, sorry im new to this | 00:39 |
| stickboy | hey. I just got a new external but ubuntu (8.10) won't recognize it so that I can format it. any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/95502/ | 00:39 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: http://www.kbrandt.com/2008/06/pygnomefind-gui-frontend-to-gnu-find.html ...with this utility, you have to have both files contained in the tarball unpacked into the same directory, then you have to go into the directory and type in --> ./pyGnomeFind.py | 00:40 |
| techsuperfreak | monkey: type dmesg in a terminal | 00:40 |
| Labmonkey1 | ok | 00:40 |
| techsuperfreak | stickboy: same to you, what output from dmesg?> | 00:40 |
| zsquareplusc | stickboy: looks like sdb is ok. is it just unformated? try gparted | 00:40 |
| Jangari | simple question, I have an .rb script to batch run over a directory of text files. What's the bash command? | 00:40 |
| puff | USB drive, anybody? | 00:41 |
| Jangari | as in, what's the bash command to pipe a text file through a ruby script? | 00:41 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: i'm pretty certain that you have to get the executable from the cd onto your hard drive. but i could be wrong | 00:41 |
| redd1 | onetin: what is the cmfd to unpak? | 00:41 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: keep in mind i'm not a quake3 player | 00:41 |
| justmeok | sudo rmdir laptopok/ -r | 00:41 |
| justmeok | rmdir: invalid option -- 'r' | 00:41 |
| zsquareplusc | Jangari: install ruby. and how that specific script is used, we can not guess that | 00:41 |
| redd1 | onetin:heh yea thanks for your help man | 00:41 |
| batman76 | ubuntu sucks | 00:42 |

| onetinsoldier | redd1: to unpack the file, in need to know the file extension on the end. .tar.gz? .tar.bz2? | 00:44 |
| onetinsoldier | i need* | 00:44 |
| redd1 | onetin: i got it unpacked now...so you think i am looking for a *.run? | 00:44 |
| onetinsoldier | redd1: i don't know. but i doubt's it s .run. let me google search | 00:45 |
| zsquareplusc | justmeok: "rm -r" recusively removes files and folders with no way to undo. but why aren't you using nautilus, the gui file manager? | 00:45 |
| nicklas_ | yo | 00:45 |
| justmeok | because these folders wont give me permissions | 00:45 |

| puchatek | any help? | 00:47 |
| musictoto | untermensch: yes. it has no graphical user interface so takes less volume on your HD | 00:47 |
| zsquareplusc | untermensch: the "standard" serve install asks you (tasksel) if you don't select anything there you just get a minimal install | 00:47 |
| techsuperfreak | monkey: hard to say without seeing | 00:47 |
| untermensch | musictoto: yeah, i have a server running it now. i just forgot the install size. | 00:48 |
| untermensch | Think I could make it with a 2 or 4 gb hard drive? | 00:48 |
| musictoto | untermensch: for a basic install sure | 00:48 |
| untermensch | awesome :) | 00:49 |
| musictoto | untermensch: take the 4GB to be sure ;) | 00:49 |
| zsquareplusc | untermensch: sure, depends on whyt you understand under a server... apache? check your current one's size with "df -h" | 00:49 |
| Labmonkey1 | well im not sure how I would get the info over to you | 00:49 |

| mm | hello ... i tried running java .class files using java app.class from terminal and it's not working | 00:52 |
| mm | same with java -jar file.jar | 00:52 |
| mm | anybody here know whats up? | 00:52 |
| screamsayonara | does anyone have any links to like, terminal for beginners tutorials or something like that | 00:52 |
| hdon | mm: "not working" isn't a very good description of your problem | 00:52 |
| techsuperfreak | monkey: does it show on both screens with the top up? | 00:52 |
| Jangari | Labmonkey1: I would try starting gnome first, then plugging in the external, and going to screen resolution settings to see if it's recognising the monitor properly. | 00:52 |
| scuzzo1 | webbit! | 00:52 |
| mm | hdon: i get java error but the program does compile in the ide | 00:52 |
| Jangari | that's part one of your diagnosis | 00:53 |
| onetinsoldier | hdon: http://linuxcommand.org | 00:53 |
| Labmonkey1 | tech: I haven't tried | 00:53 |
| zsquareplusc | Labmonkey1: you gfx card probably supports two separate screens. xrandr might help or pressing fn_F10/F5 (whatever the output selection key is on your laptop) | 00:53 |
| techsuperfreak | monkey: give it a shot | 00:53 |
| Labmonkey1 | im gana try what jangari said and if it shows on both screens | 00:53 |
| Labmonkey1 | brb | 00:53 |
| hdon | mm: also, a common mistake when trying to run Java classes is that you do *not* use .class at the end of the class name (you aren't naming the file, you are naming a class which the java vm can find on the classpath, which by default on some systems includes your cwd) | 00:53 |
| treyk4 | what would be the best way to install compiz fusion on kubuntu? | 00:53 |
| mm | hdon: so it would be java filename | 00:53 |
| mm | ? | 00:53 |
| hdon | onetinsoldier: wtf | 00:54 |
| thebloggu | i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? using openbox | 00:54 |
| hdon | mm: no, you aren't naming a filename, you're naming a class, which is contained in a like-named <classname>.class file | 00:54 |
| hdon | mm: but you also said the -jar option didn't work either, so i doubt that's the only problem you're having, if you're having that problem at all | 00:54 |
| onetinsoldier | hdon: doh! so sorry.. i mistook you for someone else. i need glasses i guess. hehe | 00:54 |

| alex789 | hi, I'm having a problem booting from my raid1 array. Basically the mdadm.conf found in the initrd image is wrong. I tried to boot with the live cd, unpacked initrd, edited mdadm.conf, packed it back, but I'm getting an error about the filesystem when I try to boot with that initrd | 01:01 |

| Jangari | in setting up program launchers, or configuring 'opens with' configurations for filetypes, is there a way to make a file open in a tab in a program rather than initialising another instance of the program? | 01:03 |
| onetinsoldier | stickboy: you'll need make mount points for it and manually mount them. if you want them auto-mounted every time you boot up, then you'll need to edit your /etc/fstab file | 01:03 |
| Jangari | i'm running oxygen as a java program and 'opens with' opens a new oxygen window each time | 01:03 |
| thebloggu | zsquareplusc, no, because i do not have a g15 and i am already running a frontend | 01:04 |
| zsquareplusc | Jangari: that depends on the applications. maybe it has some remote control interface? e.g. firefox has | 01:04 |
| rblst | theblogg, any other way? | 01:04 |
| rblst | thebloggu, any other way? | 01:04 |

| zsquareplusc | thebloggu: you can have multiple frontends at one time for mpd. | 01:04 |
| edju | How does one save the about:config page in Firefox? It saves as about:config.xul and won't display. Also, the page won't print. Any suggestions? | 01:04 |
| Jangari | i can drag into it from nautilus, so it certainly supports tabs, it's just a matter of 'opens with' looking for previous instances of oxygen | 01:04 |
| thebloggu | rblst, you chose your monitor ? | 01:04 |
| hdon | Jangari: how annoying! oxygen maintainers may not have provided a file-opener dispatcher | 01:04 |
| hocem | how to run network ,anager? | 01:04 |
| zsquareplusc | rblst: does xrandr list your wanted resolution? | 01:05 |
| hdon | Jangari: what i called a 'file opener dispatcher' is what zsquareplusc called a remote | 01:05 |
| thebloggu | zsquareplusc, i know, but i also know that sonata can do it | 01:05 |
| Jangari | hdon, it could be that I'm running the 'all platforms' version, the pure java one | 01:05 |

| kbrosnan | edju: prefs.js is quite readable, that is where all the changed about:config settings are | 01:05 |

| Labmonkey1 | tech and janguri: back | 01:06 |
| hdon | Jangari: in between the typical invocation path (the command that gets run when you open the program with or without filenames for opening) and the actual program binary | 01:06 |
| Jangari | i had to create my own by 'run a custom command: /usr/local/bin/oxygen/oxygen.sh' | 01:06 |
| Labmonkey1 | tech: none of that fixed the problem | 01:06 |
| hdon | Jangari: the remote/dispatcher will either open a new instance of the application, or it will just tell the currently running one to open something new | 01:06 |
| Labmonkey1 | but I have more information | 01:06 |
| Jangari | right, | 01:07 |
| nicklas_ | i wanna say something smart, but nothing coming up in my mind :-P | 01:07 |
| jwcgator | Hey guys, I need some help pairing my bluetooth phone to my computer | 01:07 |
| hdon | Jangari: you'll need to ask the maintainers of the program if there is a reason this doesn't exist or isn't properly configured for your system in the pure java version | 01:07 |
| rblst | thebloggu, thanks, i wasnt attentive enough, i managed to change it | 01:07 |
| Jangari | is there a flag or something that i can add to that terminal command to open the specified/selected file in a new tab of a current instance? | 01:07 |
| hdon | Jangari: depends on the application | 01:07 |
| edju | kbrosnan, Indeed, that's it. Thanks. | 01:07 |
| Labmonkey1 | tech: both screens work while loading up | 01:07 |
| hdon | Jangari: you'll need to ask the developers or look into the code yourself -- i wouldn't know about implementing such a remote/dsipatcher in java personally | 01:07 |
| thebloggu | rblst, you're welcome | 01:08 |
| Labmonkey1 | but the external one stops right after gnome loads | 01:08 |

| Jangari | hdon, specifically | 01:08 |
| zsquareplusc | thebloggu: right, they list that as a feature but there are no docs... maybe it isn't working bacuase the keys are assigned in system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts? | 01:08 |
| Labmonkey1 | tech: f5? ok il try | 01:08 |

| Labmonkey1 | tech: woot! it works, but it wasn't f5 | 01:10 |
| pyrophelia | didn't think so | 01:10 |
| zsquareplusc | Labmonkey1: the key with a square in the colors of the Fn key, together with the FN key should toggle the VGA output (othen there are 3 states, so try to press it multiple times) | 01:10 |
| techsuperfreak | monkey: which key? | 01:10 |
| Labmonkey1 | well | 01:10 |
| Labmonkey1 | f8 is my crt/lcd key, and I had tried that before | 01:10 |
| Labmonkey1 | but I just decided to hit random stuff, and the font key (f7) worked | 01:10 |

| blampars | techsuperfreak: my buddy has since reinstalled ibex w/o downloading or installing updates. so i dont think iwconfig would help atm :( | 01:15 |
| pyrophelia | they have a 64bit version? | 01:16 |
| onetinsoldier | pyrophelia: yes.. but it takes a manual download of a file and manual install | 01:16 |
| blampars | just found that out heh | 01:16 |
| pyrophelia | I was not aware of that | 01:16 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, hey man i thought it worked but it didnt | 01:16 |

| pyrophelia | it's alpha | 01:17 |

| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, no | 01:18 |
| onetinsoldier | pyrophelia: doesn't matter.. it's very stable, and better than many final releases i've seen. this is the second version of the alpha and even the first one was very good | 01:18 |
| zsquareplusc | MrCollins: you did unmount that device, din't you? | 01:18 |
| MrCollins | zsquareplusc, no | 01:18 |
| justmeok | how do you undo a delete word in tomboynotes? i cant seem to find it ANYWHERE! | 01:19 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: try again, this time from the terminal, unmount the device and let me know | 01:19 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, ok | 01:19 |
| zsquareplusc | MrCollins: you access devices as external storage, always unmount (eject button in nautlius, or rightclick) or not all data is written there | 01:19 |
| mm | hdon: i figured out how to run the app... for example i have to type 'java -jar "/home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/testing.jar"' in order for it to work. Is there a way in ubuntu to run it from ANY folder on my computer? | 01:20 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, ok I unmounted it | 01:20 |

| zsquareplusc | mm: make a little shell script with that line and put it into /usr/local/bin :-) | 01:21 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, on the windows machine? | 01:21 |
| hdon | mm: well there are different ways to do what you're asking, but it depends on to what end you want it | 01:21 |
| techsuperfreak | mrecollins: yeah, isn't that what you tried before? | 01:21 |
| hdon | mm: if you just want an easy command to type, then you can add an alias to your ~/.bashrc file (if your'e using bash) | 01:21 |
| mm | zsquareplusc: im new to ubuntu... dont know how to do the shell script | 01:21 |
| mm | hdon: in english :) | 01:22 |
| hdon | mm: brb 1 min | 01:22 |
| zerothis | I took my hard drive out of my no-CD no-USB device. Used unetbootin on it. Back in my device, it says it cannot detect my CD? | 01:22 |
| zsquareplusc | mm as hdon indicates, there are other ways too. e.g. if you want to have a starter icon. but the shell script is a text file starting with #!/bin/sh following commandy you would type at the console | 01:22 |

| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: were you copying to or from the windows box? | 01:24 |
| mm | sloopy: can you explain how to use it? | 01:24 |
| zsquareplusc | mm that should also work in ubuntu (maybe w/o .class) | 01:24 |
| tsal | justmeok: It depends on your application | 01:24 |

| techsuperfreak | mrcollins | 01:26 |
| techsuperfreak | okay, so the machines show the same thing? | 01:26 |
| tsal | mm: I'm assuming (I came in late) that you're running this in /home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/ ? | 01:26 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, but i wish to figure this out in ubuntu because I am anti ms! | 01:26 |
| sloopy | mm, 'alias run_test=java -jar "/home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/testing.jar" | 01:26 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: ok, so you have mp3s on the ubuntu machine and want to copy to the usb device? | 01:27 |

| myerkx | Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers. I cannot get Ubuntu to boot when I install my NVIDIA GE Force 9400 GT, the loading bar stops 1/4 th of the way. I tried everything online but it all fails, any ideas (Clean Install) | 01:27 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: just want to make sure I understand | 01:27 |
| mm | sloopy it works fine without the alias if I type in full path.. im trying to avoid it | 01:27 |
| mm | I want to simply type java program.class and for it to work | 01:27 |
| mm | i dont want to list full path | 01:27 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, you are correct | 01:27 |
| mm | tsal: yes, thats the path | 01:27 |
| hdon | mm: do you use bash? (is that the ubuntu default?) | 01:27 |
| mm | hdon: yes | 01:28 |
| hdon | mm: if you use bash as the default, you can add this line to your ~/.bashrc | 01:28 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: okay, so mount the usb device, copy files and then make sure to unmount na dlet me know how it goes | 01:28 |
| sloopy | with the alias all you will have to type 'run_test' | 01:28 |
| hdon | mm: alias myprogram='java -jar /path/to/jar.jar' | 01:28 |
| hdon | mm: then you can just type `myprogram` to run it | 01:28 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, ok so i do sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/mp3player ? | 01:28 |
| hdon | mm: you'll need to restart your shell before the alias will take effect (try `exec bash`) | 01:29 |
| mm | hdon: i have to do this every single time I get a new program out? there has to be a universal way of simply typing java program.class to execute it just like in windows | 01:29 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: yes, to unoumnt, type umount /media/mp3player | 01:29 |
| hdon | mm: i think most java developers expect you to run their programs with double-clicking icons in a graphical shell | 01:29 |
| n8tuser | mm you have to understand classpath, if you were using an IDE those are setup within an ide environment, so if you need jars, you have to setup your classpath | 01:30 |

| cipherz | anyone had any luck with the atheros 5006ex and ubuntu 8.10 ? | 01:43 |
| white-sheep | ssdt: Because apparently you have two Windows partitions -- Maybe Windows Recovery Partition? | 01:43 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: still says write protect is on, when plugging in | 01:43 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, yes | 01:43 |
| plzhelp4444 | <Failed to run echo as user 'root'> | 01:43 |
| MrCollins | wait | 01:43 |
| ferfactor | any idea with this error ? | 01:43 |
| ferfactor | http://paste.ubuntu.com/95538/ | 01:43 |
| ssdt | white-sheep, then can i just close one of them and use it for the ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, wait | 01:43 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: eject and try the button again and reinsert | 01:43 |
| MrCollins | wait! | 01:44 |
| plzhelp4444 | what i messed up is i put a password on the root account and removed admin privs from the user i should have just left it alone! | 01:44 |
| white-sheep | ssdt: Uh -- You don't close it. You want to keep Windows? | 01:44 |
| ssdt | yeah and ubuntu too | 01:44 |
| MrCollins | techsuperfreak, so wait, now I switch the switch this time and i mount and it says write protect is off so now I copy files, unmount and try again? | 01:44 |
| plzhelp4444 | it saysthis:<Failed to run echo as user 'root'> | 01:44 |
| zsquareplusc | plzhelp4444: ok, so you can open a root shell? then just do an "adduser youruser admin" as root | 01:45 |
| techsuperfreak | mrcollins: yes | 01:45 |
| white-sheep | ssdt: Google for dualbooting (Windows + Ubuntu). There are handful of tutorials on the net. | 01:45 |
| ferfactor | http://paste.ubuntu.com/95538/ any idea with this? | 01:45 |
| plzhelp4444 | how to i become root | 01:45 |
| techsuperfreak | plzhelp: sudo su - | 01:46 |
| zsquareplusc | plzhelp4444: type "su" in the terminal | 01:46 |
| white-sheep | ssdt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 01:46 |
| zsquareplusc | techsuperfreak: he removed the admin, so sudo wont work | 01:46 |
| plzhelp4444 | [sudo] password for janina: | 01:46 |
| plzhelp4444 | janina is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 01:46 |

| plzhelp4444 | i ty[ed janina@janina-laptop:~$ sudo adduser janina admin | 01:47 |
| anfangs | is there any way to install a minimal x environment on server 8.10? | 01:47 |
| zsquareplusc | techsuperfreak: and what you suggest is not recommended anyway ;-) sudo -i instead, see !sudo | 01:47 |
| eseven73 | anfangs: 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox' or xubuntu-desktop | 01:47 |
| zsquareplusc | anfangs: yes, there is. but dont ask me for a package name. i usually just install xterm if i need the basic X stuff | 01:48 |
| zsquareplusc | plzhelp4444: you tried just "su"? it will ask for the root password | 01:48 |
| ssdt | thank you white-sheep for helping me with the link | 01:48 |
| anfangs | eseven73, zsquareplusc: i basically want to be able to run firefox, but I don't really want to full blown ubuntu-desktop | 01:48 |
| eseven73 | anfangs: fluxbox or xubuntu | 01:49 |
| eseven73 | or Enlightenment | 01:49 |
| EeveeTrainer | help, i have a virus... does anyone know any good antivirrus programs ?? | 01:49 |
| anfangs | eseven73: thank you | 01:49 |
| eseven73 | yw | 01:49 |
| hansel | EeveeTrainer: ClamAV | 01:49 |
| zsquareplusc | anfangs: xubuntu gives you a smalll desktop. you want to run the desktop on the server or remotely? | 01:49 |
| eseven73 | !virus | EeveeTrainer | 01:49 |
| ubottu | EeveeTrainer: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:49 |
| anfangs | zsquareplusc: on the server | 01:49 |
| zsquareplusc | anfangs: then you need a window manager like fluxbox, ion3. or simply use xfce then you get a start menu and more which is still using not many resources | 01:50 |
| zsquareplusc | anfangs: xfce = install xubuntu-desktop | 01:51 |
| anfangs | zsquareplusc: does that install all the miscellaneous appls like ubuntu-desktop does? | 01:51 |
| eseven73 | xubuntu is nice its like gnome but without any resource usage | 01:51 |
| zur47 | join #ubuntu-es | 01:51 |
| anfangs | apps* | 01:51 |
| zsquareplusc | anfangs: yes it will. if you want less, try xfce4 or some other window manager alone | 01:52 |
| plzhelp4444 | OK that worked i can see that i now have admin privs andi have removed the root passwd, but User Settings still gives an error when i user unlock | 01:52 |
| anfangs | zsquareplusc: thanks | 01:52 |
| zsquareplusc | anfangs: but then you might need to start X manually with startx. you'l get a login manager by installing gdm or xdm | 01:52 |
| plzhelp4444 | so i cannot addany more users | 01:52 |
| zsquareplusc | plzhelp4444: groups are only applied when you log in freshly | 01:53 |
| anfangs | zsquareplusc: ok. gotcha | 01:53 |
| plzhelp4444 | ok ill try that now thanku v much for ur help | 01:53 |

| hansel | !password | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 01:56 |

| Paradoxx | Which rss readers would you all recommend if any? | 01:59 |
| techsuperfreak | joseph: install imagemagick | 01:59 |
| zsquareplusc | Joeseph: you likely need to install one of these, output by that command: apt-cache search imagemagick | grep dev | 01:59 |
| hansel | Fret18: its helpful if you ask a specific question about your specific problem. We are here and willing to help. No need to ask if you can ask or ask if we can help with a general problem. Be specific. | 02:00 |

| Fret18 | hansel: YouTube videos and Flash games all play slowly. | 02:01 |
| Fret18 | And, kind of, lagging. | 02:01 |
| hansel | what are your system stats? Maybe its expected that it lag like this? | 02:02 |
| jzitt | I'm trying to get a VFAT flash drive to mount under a consistent name under eeeBuntu on my Asus Eee 701. One bit of info I had told me to label the drive, which I did, but don't know how to proceed from there. Any clues/pointers? | 02:02 |
| hansel | Do you know which flash plugin you are using? | 02:02 |
| doglino | hello what the directory correspondent to program files of windows in linux? | 02:02 |
| Paradoxx | Fret18, Which Flash plug in are you using? I currently have a similar problem | 02:02 |
| Joeseph | Fret18: Are you in firefox? if so, do you know which flash plugin you are using? | 02:02 |

| Fret18 | I'm using Firefox 3.0, Adobe Flash Player version 10. | 02:02 |
| pyrophelia | does anybody here have any experience with tablet pc's and ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| zsquareplusc | doglino: programs are usualy not just a single file and they are installed at different locations. what do you want to know really? | 02:03 |
| Paradoxx | How do I uninstall a flash plugin? | 02:04 |
| Fret18 | Also, instead of playing those flash ads directly, there appears a 'Play' button, and you have to click to show the flash content. | 02:05 |
| Fret18 | It happens to every flash content. | 02:05 |
| SaturnDriver | Oh great, more flash problems. I ended up uninstalling the flash plugin | 02:05 |
| zsquareplusc | Fret18: did you install adblock or noscript for firefox? | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | doglino, you can use the package manager tools to see exactly what files a program installed and where. | 02:05 |
| SaturnDriver | with me, flash ads end up overlapping other stuff | 02:05 |
| Joeseph | zsquareplusc: thanks for the help, that package seemed to do the job. | 02:05 |
| Fret18 | zsquareplusc: no. | 02:05 |
| SaturnDriver | and youtube doesn't work :/ | 02:05 |
| doglino | zsquareplusc I installed Skype and Opera bronwser and I want to know where they are | 02:06 |
| Fret18 | It works for me, but poorly. | 02:06 |
| zsquareplusc | SaturnDriver: try totem for youtube (sidebar) | 02:06 |
| doglino | I insorry about english | 02:06 |
| Fret18 | doglino: they might be in Applications>Internet | 02:06 |
| SaturnDriver | zsquareplusc: If I can't get the plugin working properly ill just live without youtube | 02:06 |
| Joeseph | oh.... now I need the 'pygtk-2.0' package.... I seem to have the "python-gtk2" .... does anyone know the difference? | 02:07 |
| russ_ | hello | 02:07 |
| pyrophelia | Ok I want to start some trouble. Who can recommend the best ultra portable laptop (less than 5lbs and smaller than 17") that is fully compatible with Ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| russ_ | Can I have different wallpapers on my dual monitor setup? | 02:07 |
| zsquareplusc | doglino: "which someprogram" tells you where the binary is but thats not all the applications need. when you installed them as a package (what you should have done), dpkg -L <packagename> gives you a list of files | 02:07 |
| pyrophelia | Russ_, if I remember correctly yes, but you have to disable compiz to do it. | 02:08 |
| Fret18 | Anything else about flash? | 02:08 |
| Fret18 | :P | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | russ_, I just join 2 wallpapers to one WIDE one. :) | 02:08 |
| jzitt | pyrophelia: I'm happily running eeeBuntu on my Asus Eee 701. | 02:08 |
| pyrophelia | er wait no | 02:08 |
| russ_ | dr_willis: how do you do that? | 02:08 |
| tsal | mm's problem was OpenJDK doesn't seem to recognize anything to do with Unix path's. It didn't even expand ./ | 02:09 |
| pyrophelia | you could assign each desktop in compiz a unique wallpaper but you lost your desktop icons. wasn't sure if that was a bug or not | 02:09 |
| tsal | After installing SUN JDK, it works. | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | russ_, with a image editor.. such as GIMP | 02:09 |
| judgepg | Folks, can anyone give me a hand with resume from suspend not working via USB? I've enabled the USB ports to react on wakeup in /proc/acpi/wakeup Any thoughts? | 02:09 |
| pyrophelia | jzitt, why is there a special notation for the eee's? I understand they dont have a cd rom, but is there anything else? | 02:09 |
| chack-2 | some one can helpme? | 02:10 |
| doglino | I will try, thanks] | 02:10 |
| pyrophelia | chack-2, just ask your question | 02:10 |
| pyrophelia | oh sorry | 02:10 |
| lawstudent | hi, folks. all of a sudden our internet stopped working. by removing our wireless router from the equation, the internet is now accessible again. what could be the problem? we want to use our wireless router? | 02:10 |
| pyrophelia | chack-2, what kind of raid? | 02:10 |
| hansel | lawstudent - so wireless was working then kablamo it stopped? | 02:11 |
| lawstudent | (I'm typing on my friend's cabled/wired Windows XP computer, because my Ubuntu comp is on wireless, and I didn't want to complicate our troubleshooting. | 02:11 |
| Fret18 | Apparently, the flash problem happened with Flash 9 and it was fixed by Flash 10 to some people, but not to me. | 02:11 |
| lawstudent | hansel: well wired too was working and then kablamo. | 02:11 |
| Joeseph | Does anyone know if there is a difference in the "pygtk-2.0" and the "python-gtk2" packages? I seem to need the first for a dependency for Zebra, but I can't find it in the repositories... any ideas? | 02:11 |
| hansel | lawstudent - plug it back in, connect wirelessly and then dmesg | tail -f | 02:11 |
| normloman | does any other computer work with the wireless? | 02:11 |
| lawstudent | hansel: i'm on my friend's winxp computer | 02:11 |
| hansel | lawstudent - sounds like your router might have tripped on itself... it has been known to happen. | 02:11 |
| lawstudent | tripped? | 02:12 |
| lawstudent | hansel: tripped = garbage? | 02:12 |
| hansel | vommited profusely? | 02:12 |
| === rob is now known as Guest3416 | ||
| doglino | zsquareplusc was exactly what I wanted WHICH | 02:12 |
| hansel | basically a part of the logic got goofed up and it just stops working. | 02:12 |
| pyrophelia | such colorful language. | 02:12 |
| lawstudent | normloman: no. when the dell wireless router is used, neither Wired winxp comp nor Wireless ubuntu comp works | 02:12 |
| normloman | if winxp and ubuntu dont work... id agree with ahnsel | 02:13 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, have you rebooted the router? | 02:13 |
| lawstudent | hansel: stopped working temporarily? or is it permanently damaged? | 02:13 |
| chack-2 | i want to mount a raid partition | 02:13 |
| hansel | lawstudent - Try turning off the router, turn off your cable modem, then plug in the cable modem and wait for all lights to come on. Then plug in the router and wait for its lights to come on. Then reconnect each computer. | 02:13 |
| === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz | ||
| chack-2 | from a rescue console | 02:13 |
| lawstudent | pyrophelia: yes. | 02:13 |
| hansel | lawstudent - most likely just temporarily... let's try the Microsoft approach of "reboot everything" and see if that fixes it. If it occurs again in the next few minutes then maybe something altogether more sinister is at work... | 02:13 |
| chack-2 | mount /dev/sda1 /mdeia/disque | 02:13 |
| lawstudent | pyrophelia: unplugged power cable and replugged. went to web browser config and did a factory default thingamajig. | 02:13 |
| chack-2 | dont work | 02:13 |
| energY | One of my irssi terminals disseapread | 02:13 |
| chack-2 | plz help me | 02:13 |
| chack-2 | this is an imergency | 02:14 |
| energY | But the nick is still active | 02:14 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, if it's factory default you may have turned wifi off. | 02:14 |
| jzitt | pyrophelia: It's a distro tweaked for the Eee. The boxes are standardized enough, and the small screen presents enough challenges, that a distro with a kernel and apps specifically for it makes sense, | 02:14 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, or reset the esid | 02:14 |
| n8tuser | lawstudent - call some indians support -- thats what you will get for supporting dell | 02:14 |
| hansel | chack-2 sudo lshw -C storage see what /dev/sdX's are available... then sudo fdisk -l to see which partitions are available. | 02:14 |
| SpinachHead | hi after booting an open suse live cd (not installing) now when I boot my ubuntu hardy install I get the pop up "Your screen and graphics card could be detected correctly and will now only run in low graphics mode. Do I have to reinstall NVID drivers or reconfig X? | 02:14 |
| * pyrophelia shakes head @ n8tuser | 02:14 | |
| lawstudent | pyrophelia: yes, but still the wired connection on a wirelless router should still work. But in fact, wired using wireless router does not work. | 02:14 |
| lawstudent | pyrophelia: what's esid? and how to reset? | 02:15 |
| tsal | anyone know of a way to change the default server on xchat-gnome? | 02:15 |
| jzitt | pyrophelia: But trying to get the removable flash drive to mount under a consistent name is baffling me. | 02:15 |
| hansel | lawstudent - in the Status panel does it show that your router has a WAN ip address? ie; not 192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x? | 02:15 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, wait your saying wired connections don't work when wireless is enabled? | 02:15 |
| hansel | and definitely not a 169.x.x.x address? | 02:15 |
| lawstudent | hansel: when i last checked, there was NO wan ip address. | 02:15 |
| hansel | lawstudent - so lets login to your cable modem.... if your router is 192.168.1.1 try 192.168.100.1 for the cable modem. | 02:15 |
| lawstudent | pyrophelia: that's right. wired connection does NOT work when wireless router is used. | 02:16 |
| lawstudent | hansel: is there a way for me to determine my cable modem's ip address? | 02:16 |
| normloman | for further refference, essid stands for extended service set identifier | 02:16 |
| chack-2 | hansel, i whant to mount /dev/sda1 | 02:16 |
| hansel | lawstudent - if you go to 192.168.100.1 it oughta let you see. Or just go to www.findmyip.com from a working computer. | 02:17 |
| chack-2 | its i radi disque that's the prablem | 02:17 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, ok i'm convinced. your router is possessed by the specter in ghost busters I. | 02:17 |
| chack-2 | raid* | 02:17 |
| hansel | chack-2 you've confirmed it's there, exists, and isn't already mounted? | 02:17 |
| tsal | raid? | 02:17 |
| normloman | it identifies the name of the wireles network i believe | 02:17 |
| pyrophelia | you know who to call | 02:17 |
| lawstudent | hansel: based on findmyip.com: 216.18.24.117 | 02:17 |
| tsal | chack-2: What are you using for software RAID? | 02:17 |
| ThipThip | I can't seem to make scheduled tasks / crontab work. If I run the task manually, it works fine, but crond won't run it. | 02:17 |
| hansel | lawstudent - well somewhere in your router I imagine it would show that address as well if it's all working. | 02:17 |
| chack-2 | hansel, yes that dosn't work because this is a raid | 02:18 |
| tsal | chack-2: Or is this connected to a RAID controller? | 02:18 |
| Swish | ThipThip, what's the filename of your script? | 02:18 |
| lawstudent | hansel: when i go to 216.18.24.117 on my firefox, it says i cannot establish a connection to server at 216.18.24.117 | 02:18 |
| chack-2 | tsal | 02:18 |
| chack-2 | a have sda1 et sdb1 | 02:18 |
| pyrophelia | jzitt: can't you specify it by device ID? | 02:18 |
| lawstudent | hansel: at this time, my wireless router is NOT plugged in | 02:18 |
| chack-2 | a thinf this is a raid controller | 02:18 |
| tsal | hmm | 02:18 |
| ThipThip | Swish: the command is to make C-SPAN play using VLC player: vlc /home/justin/Desktop/c-span.xspf | 02:18 |
| nwbie__ | I removed the internet icon on the upper right corner by mistake, how can I restore it? | 02:18 |
| normloman | nwbie - did you remove it from the top bar? | 02:19 |
| Swish | try using the full path to vlc | 02:19 |
| normloman | or was it on the desktop? | 02:19 |
| tsal | chack-2: hmm. I'm not sure if a raid device would be called "sda", though I've not messed with RAID devices on Ubuntu | 02:19 |
| Swish | ThipThip, cron'd tasks may not have the same PATH as you have when you login | 02:19 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, yes | 02:19 |
| Belboz99 | hey all, I'm trying to start gnome-session on a remote computer through SSH, I've been trying to simply set the DISPLAY variable, but that hasn't worked, any ideas? | 02:19 |
| normloman | haha | 02:19 |
| chack-2 | ok so this is a soft raid | 02:19 |
| chack-2 | how to mount it plz | 02:19 |
| normloman | ok well the two grey bars usually on top and bottom | 02:19 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, on the top bar | 02:20 |
| normloman | they are your panels | 02:20 |
| ThipThip | Swish: I don't think the path matters? And also, it does nothing at all - doesn't even appear to try. | 02:20 |
| normloman | right click the panel | 02:20 |
| normloman | and select add to panel | 02:20 |
| hansel | chack-2 df -h it probably already is. | 02:20 |
| nwbie__ | yes | 02:20 |
| lawstudent | guys ( hansel, pyrophelia , etc) to see ipconfig when internet is working and ipconfig when internet is not working, pls see http://paste.ubuntu.com/95569/ | 02:20 |
| chack-2 | no | 02:20 |
| tsal | chack-2: You should have some devices named "md0" "md1" etc | 02:20 |
| normloman | then select custom application launcher | 02:20 |
| chack-2 | yes | 02:20 |
| chack-2 | whait | 02:20 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, ok | 02:20 |
| normloman | what browser do you use? Firefox? | 02:20 |
| Swish | ThipThip, you can also try putting the entire command line inside a bash script, and naming the script "runvlc" or something similar | 02:21 |
| hansel | lawstudent - you bypassed your router in the first one... your cable modem likely has cached the MAC address of your computer. | 02:21 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, yes | 02:21 |
| Swish | ThipThip (don't use any punctuation in the command line) | 02:21 |
| hansel | lawstudent - therefore when you plug in your router it will not be able to obtain an IP because the cable modem isn't expecting it. | 02:21 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, I've got news for you, you're router is in bridge mode. | 02:21 |
| normloman | After you doubleclick on custom application launcher, there is a window | 02:21 |
| judgepg | guys, can anyone tell me how I can change change the S-state for the USB? | 02:21 |
| chack-2 | tsal, im connected to the server with rescue mode | 02:21 |
| ThipThip | Swish: What can I use as a sample command, to just test to see if cron is working at all? | 02:21 |
| normloman | it saystype, name, commane, ect | 02:21 |
| lawstudent | hansel: ok. so what shall we do now. | 02:21 |
| chack-2 | disuques are not connected | 02:21 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, yes I got it | 02:21 |
| hansel | restart all devices. leave them off for 30 seconds a pop. | 02:21 |
| tsal | chack-2: oh, and you're using LVM? | 02:21 |
| normloman | in the name part, put Firefox. In the command part, type firefox | 02:22 |
| lawstudent | pyrophelia: really? I think I've checkde severeal times, and router should be / is in gateway mode. | 02:22 |
| hansel | do a lil "you will work when I plug you back in" chant... | 02:22 |
| Swish | ThipThip, why not something like "echo foo > /tmp/bar.txt" ? | 02:22 |
| judgepg | I want to change the S-state to level 3 (suspend to RAM). How can I do that? | 02:22 |
| SpinachHead | If hardy herron stopped detecting my video card what do I do? xorg.conf looks right.... I alreay have Nvid drivers from their site installed.... | 02:22 |
| chack-2 | tsal, no | 02:22 |
| normloman | then press ok | 02:22 |
| Swish | ThipThip, google about "debugging cron" tasks if you need more things to try :) | 02:22 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, if it was your PC would get a 192. address when you plugged it in. right now it's give you the IP of the cable modem, meaning it's not building a NAT list | 02:22 |
| tsal | chack-2: what are you using for your software RAID management, then? | 02:22 |
| SpinachHead | I can't get higher than 800X600 now | 02:23 |
| hikenboot | hello all anyone know how to get sound working i have been at it for about 2 hours with no luck | 02:23 |
| normloman | the command part of the application launcher corresponds to what you would type in the terminal if you were running a program from the terminal, so you can use application launchers for anything if you know the command | 02:23 |

| SpinachHead | no | 02:23 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, I need the wireless connection icon, not the browser :s | 02:24 |
| judgepg | zsquareplusc: thanks for the reply. I am looking for a way to restore my suspend using USB | 02:24 |
| tsal | Did you upgrade Xorg or the nvidia drivers? | 02:24 |
| === [a-woo-at-the-to is now known as [at-the-top] | ||
| SpinachHead | no | 02:24 |
| normloman | oh | 02:24 |
| Paradoxx | Fret18, It sounds like the have the gnash flash plugin installed. I also have that one. It sucks! Not sure how to uninstall it though | 02:24 |
| tsal | SpinachHead: And the most important question - did it work before? :) | 02:24 |
| normloman | i dont use wireless... im not so sure. Does anyone else know what nwbie is talking about? | 02:24 |
| hansel | hikenboot - from a terminal sudo lshw -C sound | 02:24 |
| judgepg | zsquareplusc, I've checked /proc/acpi/wakeup and USB are in the S-state of 0. Perhaps that's the problem? | 02:24 |
| normloman | sorry :-0 | 02:24 |
| zsquareplusc | judgepg: you mean wakeup? then it's probably a BIOS setting | 02:24 |
| SpinachHead | yeah, the driver from Nvidia site I installed and it worked at high res for about 5 months | 02:25 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, the one that helps you connect to the wireless networks | 02:25 |
| tsal | hmm | 02:25 |
| Fret18 | Paradoxx: I'm trying something. If it works, I tell you. :) | 02:25 |
| SpinachHead | i get a blinking though when i boot | 02:25 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, give me the exact model number and name of your router and i'll see what I can do. basically your router isn't a router now. somehow it's been switched into a normal hub unit. | 02:25 |
| chack-2 | tsal, i will post fdisk -l | 02:25 |
| Paradoxx | Fret18, sure m8. Thanks | 02:25 |
| chack-2 | tsal, but this is in french | 02:25 |
| lawstudent | hansel: do you know what we should do? | 02:25 |
| normloman | hmm | 02:25 |
| hikenboot | MCP2S AC'97 Audio Controller driver=Intel ICH latency=0 maxlatency=5 mingnt=2 module=snd_intel8x0 | 02:25 |
| hansel | lawstudent - what I've told you twice now... and reset the router back to factory default 1 more time. | 02:25 |
| chack-2 | tsal, how to translate that in english? | 02:25 |
| judgepg | zsquareplusc, I can resume from wakeup when I type on the laptop keyboard, but I prefer to keep the lid down and use an external keyboard | 02:25 |
| SpinachHead | such as /etc/rc.local and other boot daemons now blink like three times before hardy boots. Don't know why | 02:25 |
| hansel | lawstudent - when it comes back connect to it from a computer on the network by pulling up a webbrowser and going to http://192.168.1.1 | 02:26 |
| lawstudent | hansel: oh, you did give a suggestion. i did not see it because your msg was not highlighted because you did not use my nick. Moral: pls use my nick. 8-) | 02:26 |
| luddite | hi in the menu is a app called "image viewer" - whats its command line to open it please? | 02:26 |
| judgepg | zsquareplusc, think this might still be a BIOS issue? | 02:26 |
| zsquareplusc | judgepg: i don't really know what you have to change. i just noticed that the power button on my usb keyboard puts my pc into suspend but irt won't wake it up. i think the USB port is powered off | 02:26 |
| tsal | chack-2: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the results | 02:26 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, I agree with him. Factory defaults here would be your best option. | 02:26 |
| hansel | Moral: you are asking a networking question in an Ubuntu channel and using a Windows computer to try to troubleshoot it.... | 02:26 |
| tsal | chack-2: and I'll see if I can translate :) | 02:26 |
| normloman | nwbie, im looking for something online to help | 02:26 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, I was trying to configure the icons on the deskbar, and by mistake I removed an icon that helped me connect to internet. | 02:27 |

| hansel | hikenboot: can you go to a terminal and type sudo alsamixer | 02:30 |
| pyrophelia | lawstudent, reset the router one more time (following the exact instructions on how to reset). if that doesn't work I don't know what else anybody can do. the documentation for your router clearly states that the factory defualt for the router is to have dhcp enabled on the cable port. if it's not building a NAT table (routable LAN IPs) after a reset your router may be bad. | 02:30 |
| mbdl | is it a bad time to ask a question? | 02:31 |
| normloman | nwbie, u there? | 02:31 |
| hansel | !ask | 02:31 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 02:31 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, sorry, I used the commands you were telling me and I think I disconnected before knowing what else to do | 02:31 |
| normloman | oh ok | 02:31 |

| hikenboot | hansel, says I am using pulse audio is this right? | 02:32 |
| normloman | and see if that works | 02:32 |
| Fret18 | Where should I extract a Firefox plug-in to? | 02:32 |
| hansel | hikenboot - well I think you may be using the wrong driver... | 02:32 |
| mbdl | need help fixing trackpad on mac | 02:32 |
| SpinachHead | score sharks! | 02:32 |
| normloman | what these commands are doing is stopping the network manager, and restarting it | 02:32 |
| hansel | your lshw claims you have an nVidia sound card (didn't know they made those) and you are using an intel driver... | 02:32 |
| hikenboot | ah not the intel but ac97 audio or somthing instead | 02:32 |
| SpinachHead | Hmm, I just installed glx over the manual Nvidia and now it works... | 02:32 |

| ThipThip | what's the easiest way to determine if crond (or whatever else is required for cron to work) is running? | 02:33 |
| scientes | i cant authenticate | 02:33 |
| hansel | scientes - your ISP may block you from sending outgoing mail through any servers but their own. | 02:33 |
| scientes | no | 02:33 |
| scientes | thats not the problem | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | hey. i'm trying to help some create a full xorg.conf file (while X is completely shut down) with the following command --> Xorg -configure ....but they are getting a Signal 11 and and a complaint about it trying to open /dev/fb0 but that device file doesn't exist. any ideas? | 02:33 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, nope, it didn't work. I think I did this about three years ago, but my memory is not very good and I do not remember how to fiix this :( Windows fried my brain | 02:33 |
| normloman | hmm | 02:34 |
| scientes | hansel, qwest does not block anything, the problem is solely in logging into my smtp server | 02:34 |
| Belboz99 | ThipThip: ps -fade | grep cron | 02:34 |
| scientes | hansel, i could turn off authentication for my local net but i would like to get authentication working | 02:34 |

| scientes | hansel, just using pam | 02:34 |
| ThipThip | So, indeed cron seems to be running. I don't understand why jobs in crontab are not executing. | 02:34 |
| normloman | ask someone else, im a fraid. Sorry, wish i could help more. | 02:34 |
| hansel | scientes - well this is probably a better question for your specific MTA channel... | 02:34 |
| normloman | in mean time ill do some searches | 02:35 |
| hansel | ThipThip - tail -f /var/log/messages and see if any failure indicators are present. | 02:35 |
| Rave1_ | nwbie_ the icon for the panel is in the menu that you entered before by right clicking the panel | 02:35 |
| hansel | there is also likely a cron log specifically in /var/log for just such a thing but I never use it... | 02:35 |
| nwbie__ | normloman, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Specially because people like you help me keep up spreading the word and recommending ubuntu to my friends | 02:36 |
| ThipThip | hansel: No, just a bunch of networking information. | 02:36 |

| gvsa123 | zsquareplusc: and this is the same as installing ubuntu on a separate partition right? i read that the difference is that the "partition" is disguised under it being a file within the windows directory? | 02:46 |
| mib_5srjs6eh | ubuntu 8.04 wont boot , i get, system doesn't have /sbin/init any idea? | 02:47 |
| Squideshi | What exactly is displayconfig-gtk? I can't find it anywhere in Ubuntu 8.10. | 02:47 |
| zsquareplusc | gvsa123: yes. that "partition" is within a file, stored on your ntfs partition. so it might be slightly slower than a real partition and you should always correctly shut down to not get ntfs errors :/ | 02:48 |
| Dominiddio | May I ask a simple and fast question? I'm actually unable to find the right packet to install to make Youtube and flash videos working on mozilla Firefox.

| zsquareplusc | zLouD_: that looks like an usual configure call for a cross compile. he --build- is not always needed. and do you see that gcc is called for 32 bits? (probably some -m option)? | 02:49 |

| Zzeiss | Dominiddio: I have it working now.... but not with Flash. Instead, use Gnash. :) | 02:49 |
| kbrosnan | Dominiddio: you need flashplayer-nonfree and only that, any other file will mess up flash | 02:49 |

| ThipThip | OK, now I have cron putting errors in to the log. It appears that it's trying to run in like a background terminal - I don't know the proper terminology. It's running running as part of X. For example: 00000398] inhibit interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. | 02:51 |
| Zzeiss | kbrosnan: That was true (must install Flash-nonfree) up until about two weeks ago. Then Gnash got the video codec built in... and it worked. :) | 02:51 |
| matt__ | I am running a virtualbox windows xp. I do so in order to play aoe2, a great little game. I hate having to put the disk in to play it, I don't like using nocd cracks, as I feel they may sometimes be virus infected. I simply wish to do with what I use to do with alchohol 120%, make a backup copy of the disk and then mount it. I could install alcohol 120 in the windows, but don't want to unless I have to. I want to make a backup copy in | 02:51 |
| zsquareplusc | gvsa123: i don't really know. but that's what i read as a disadvantage of the wubi method | 02:51 |
| Dominiddio | Zzeiss & krosnan > well I tried Gnash too but looks like it gone in conflict with something I don't know. And "Flashplayer-nonfree" was already in.... Well I'll try again, thanx | 02:51 |
| Zzeiss | Dominiddio: Hmmm.... that's odd. | 02:52 |
| zLouD_ | zsquareplusc: no, there is no type of -m. | 02:52 |
| gvsa123 | zsquareplusc: i see... i'll go play around with it a while... thanks... | 02:52 |

| dr_willis | ThipThip, using cron to launch X apps.. can be.. problematic.. | 03:05 |
| hansel | ThipThip - you probably need to throw a -display :0 to the end of it. | 03:05 |

| zsquareplusc | hansel: an executable file with no #! is interpreted as bash script. so it might try to execute all the files he has opened. but i agree, we are talking of a silly use case :-) | 03:05 |
| wally13371231231 | thats no use | 03:05 |
| hansel | oh, and throw a & on the end for good measure so it can detach. | 03:05 |

| ThipThip | hansel: I put it into a bash script as per your suggestion - a & at the end of what? like -display :0& ? | 03:06 |
| dr_willis | zsquareplusc, speaking of the #! - i noticed a odd quirk the other day where i had some trivial bash scripts ( of 1 line, like just an alias) that did NOT run properly SOMETIMES if i did not have a #!/bin/bash (or sh) at the start | 03:06 |

| lamo | nino8085: are you running any bittorrent clients? | 03:13 |
| dr_willis | cojaBo Yes I think it is.. I would check the books in the 'samba-doc' package to see if they mention that. | 03:13 |
| hansel | Avarice - what is your goal? You want to write executables or shell scripts or what to do WHAT? | 03:13 |
| DiiPhantom | hansel, i think thats where im heading | 03:13 |

| cjs | Anybody know how ghc-6.10.1 under windows execs gcc? It's obviously doing something in terms of options or environment or something, because c:\ghc\ghc-6.10.1\gcc.exe does not run standalone, claiming that it cannot find cc1. | 03:30 |
| hansel | noriyuki - there are tons... Banshee, VLC, etc, etc, etc | 03:30 |

| Rapture2k4 | is there a way to figure out the UUID of a flash drive? | 03:37 |
| noriyuki | hansel, yeep! thats it | 03:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | qwe1, Depends on if your hardware has support | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | !uuid | Rapture2k4 | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Rapture2k4: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 03:37 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Rapture2k4, it is assigned when you partition the drive, but can be changed | 03:39 |
| Rapture2k4 | ah, ok | 03:40 |
| qwexer | does anyone have an external bluetooth adapter that does work? anyone know their brand? | 03:40 |
| Rapture2k4 | qwexer, I use a cheapo IOGear one and it works with every distro I've tried recently | 03:40 |

| Rapture2k4 | so, I've got this 2GB flash drive and I want to install xbuntu on it and use it as a file server... I know this kills the lifespan of the device, but are there ways to minimize the damage? | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rapture2k4, nope, write cycles are limited | 03:42 |
| stickboy | whenever i hit backspace and there's nothing to delete, my laptop beeps and i'm not sure how to disable it. on 8.10 64bit. | 03:43 |
| Rapture2k4 | Jack_Sparrow: Hmm, ok. Is there a way to boot from LiveCD and load settings from a flash drive? I.E. Like FreeNAS | 03:43 |
| zsquareplusc | Rapture2k4: put /tmp in RAM and avoid swap. the nslu2-linux wiki has some hints | 03:43 |

| Rapture2k4 | Jack_Sparrow: It does once... as in I can boot into it... if I reboot at all... it fails to load the kernel and I sit at an <(init)> prompt | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rapture2k4, Cant help with that.. | 03:48 |
| Rapture2k4 | I know... but I think I've got a solution ;) | 03:48 |
| hf2|ap | hi | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fezzler, pdf's are already compressed | 03:48 |
| zsquareplusc | Fezzler: compressed pdf already uses the same algorithm as zip that's why it isnt getting smaller. try to reduce embedded image quality (pdf2ps|ps2pfs / ghostscript) | 03:49 |

| Rapture2k4 | I'm thinking that if I partition my flashdrive as ext3 -noatime, and put grub on the MBR of it, I can install grub on a CD and boot that way | 03:50 |
| Rapture2k4 | the BIOS sees the drive as a HDD, but won't boot from it.. so I don't need USB drivers per say | 03:50 |

| guren | its not really important but i wanted to ask for wifi help | 03:54 |
| shipz | With ubuntu, do I need to manually set a root password, or will just having a useraccount with a password suffice? | 03:55 |
| raylu | !root | shipz | 03:55 |
| ubottu | shipz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:55 |

| shipz | You may dismember me now. | 03:56 |
| mindrape | shipz - Ubuntu is a quirky distro/community that doesn't believe (as part of our philosophy) in regular use of the root account. It saves us from LOTS of headaches.... :) | 03:56 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:56 |
| Wicked | how do i manually set the refresh rate for my monitor? | 03:56 |
| raylu | shipz: not at all | 03:56 |
| mindrape | Wicked: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:56 |
| raylu | mindrape: he'd most likely have to generate one first | 03:56 |
| zsquareplusc | Fezzler: recompressing the pdf with ghostscript might help | 03:56 |
| Wicked | mindrape, care to elaborate? | 03:56 |

| smokeymirror | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5d1ad6f8 | 04:06 |
| Wicked | hmm ok...if my monitor says it should use 60mhz for the refresh rate...should i add 60 for both the veritcal and horizontal refresh lines in xorg.conf? | 04:06 |
| MrAnthrope | But only in the terminal. not in the window. | 04:07 |
| MrAnthrope | How do you become root in a window? | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MrAnthrope, sudo | 04:07 |
| MrAnthrope | That's through the terminal... | 04:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Aragon: gksudo nautilus | 04:07 |
| mindrape | smokeymirror: okay... results of sudo iwconfig? | 04:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Danger Danger Danger! | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 04:07 |
| 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) | 04:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Not a good idea to run nautilus as root! | 04:07 |
| smokeymirror | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5d1ad6f8 | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, agreed | 04:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: aye | 04:07 |
| mindrape | smokeymirror: iwconfig not ifconfig | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smokeymirror, Please post a description of the problem not just the link. | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: dont want to go clicking and dragging all willy nilly | 04:08 |
| smokeymirror | oops | 04:08 |
| Wicked | welp gonna try it anyways.....brb | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, Thanks for giving the warning with that command. | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | :-) | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | I do what i can | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | appreciated | 04:08 |
| mindrape | smokeymirror - next do a sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 04:08 |
| Rapture2k4 | mindrape: what's that one do? | 04:08 |
| CiArA | gut mornin | 04:08 |
| CiArA | evertone | 04:08 |
| mindrape | it scans for open APs | 04:09 |
| smokeymirror | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6d439d7c i cannot get online with my wifi even though the card is registered | 04:09 |
| Rapture2k4 | cool | 04:09 |
| CiArA | # | 04:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: you know much about enterprise level WPA wifi in ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| MrAnthrope | I can't get online with my dialup modem. :( | 04:09 |
| mindrape | okay smokeymirror - you dont have an ESSID set... do you know the AP name? | 04:09 |
| smokeymirror | smokeymirror@SmokeyMiRROR:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 04:09 |
| smokeymirror | wlan0 No scan results | 04:09 |
| mindrape | smokeymirror: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid SETITHERE | 04:09 |
| bullgard4 | What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic? | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smokeymirror, is it an open network or wep , wpa etc | 04:09 |
| CiArA | k | 04:09 |

| smokeymirror | there's a open and a secure around me | 04:09 |
| mindrape | smokeymirror -alright.. if you get no scan results and you know the AP is broadcasting and available then you likely need a Windows driver for it... :( | 04:10 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: replace SETITHERE with the SSID your wifi router is using | 04:10 |
| Wicked | nope that did not fix it :( | 04:10 |
| Rapture2k4 | he shouldn't have to.. i have the same adapter on my laptop | 04:10 |
| Rapture2k4 | and it works fine | 04:10 |
| smokeymirror | was that code sudo iwlist wlan0 scan? | 04:11 |
| mindrape | Rapture2k4 - which driver do you use? | 04:11 |
| mindrape | yes smokeymirror. | 04:11 |
| tonyyarusso | In firefox 3, even after I've cleared the history things will still show up in the autocomplete of the location bar. Where is that information stored, and can it be cleared as well? | 04:11 |
| netyire | tools -> clear private data? | 04:11 |
| mindrape | tonyyarusso: that autocomplete SHOULD only show bookmarked URLs... | 04:12 |
| smokeymirror | ok | 04:12 |
| Rapture2k4 | mindrape: it's been ages since i've IRC'ed... and i'm using irssi, what's the /command to reply? lol | 04:12 |
| mindrape | reply? /msg user hey there | 04:12 |
| mindrape | or what? | 04:12 |
| tonyyarusso | mindrape: ooooh, that may very well be the case. | 04:12 |
| Rapture2k4 | aha | 04:12 |
| smokeymirror | so if its more than one word i do "Wifi Name" | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !coc | 04:12 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 04:12 |
| mindrape | yes smokeymirror | 04:13 |
| tonyyarusso | mindrape: Your'e absolutely right. I had forgotten some of those things were bookmarked. | 04:13 |
| smokeymirror | this is what always happens when i try to set essid | 04:13 |
| smokeymirror | smokeymirror@SmokeyMiRROR:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "CCSF WiFi" | 04:13 |
| smokeymirror | Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Resource temporarily unavailable. | 04:13 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: is your wifi router broadcasting? or simpler yet.. can you see if from another machine/os? | 04:13 |
| netyire | tonyyarusso: you can disable autocomplete from about:config | 04:13 |
| smokeymirror | yea | 04:13 |
| netyire | it's under browser.urlbar.maxRichResults | 04:13 |
| netyire | set to 0 | 04:14 |
| smokeymirror | i can see it from other devices | 04:14 |
| Rapture2k4 | ok | 04:14 |
| smokeymirror | even my psp :( | 04:14 |
| Rapture2k4 | strange.. i think mindrape might by right | 04:14 |
| mindrape | Rapture2k4 - if yours is the exact same model maybe we can modprobe your module name? | 04:14 |
| Rapture2k4 | check out ndiswrapper (google/wiki) | 04:14 |
| mindrape | can you check it in lsmod? | 04:14 |
| mindrape | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578 <--- makes ndiswrapper "easy" | 04:14 |
| CarlFK | http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/day_2008-12-30.en.html | 04:14 |
| CarlFK | whoops. | 04:14 |
| smokeymirror | huh? | 04:15 |
| smokeymirror | ndiswrapper doesn't work | 04:15 |
| tonyyarusso | netyire: also good to know - thanks | 04:15 |
| smokeymirror | the drivers for this wireless card is a 64bit | 04:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smokeymirror, what chipset is in that card? | 04:16 |
| smokeymirror | and ndiswrapper doesn't do 64bit | 04:16 |
| shipz | This may sound dumb but, how do you tell if you are running 64bit or 32bit? | 04:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !chroot | 04:16 |
| ubottu | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 04:16 |
| mindrape | shipz - I believe uname -a will tell | 04:16 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: what was the model number again? 4965? | 04:16 |
| smokeymirror | one sec | 04:16 |
| Davi_ | you is girl ?? | 04:16 |
| Wicked | bah. ok. nothing i do is changing my monitor refresh rate. | 04:16 |
| mindrape | Davi_ there are no girls on the internets. | 04:16 |
| netyire | Wicked: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:17 |
| netyire | look for horizontal and vertical refresh rates | 04:17 |
| Wicked | netyire, yea...your the second one to say that. and that didnt fix it either. | 04:17 |
| netyire | it'll be a range, like 60.0 - 120.0 | 04:17 |
| smokeymirror | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m59e01c6d wifi card | 04:17 |
| mindrape | Wicked - CRT or LCD? | 04:17 |
| Wicked | netyire, yea i changed the ranges both to 60 | 04:17 |
| Wicked | no dice | 04:17 |
| Wicked | ldc | 04:17 |
| netyire | still at 50? | 04:17 |
| mindrape | Wicked - you dont set LCD refresh rates... | 04:17 |
| Rapture2k4 | hrm | 04:17 |
| mindrape | its 60 by default. | 04:17 |
| mindrape | CRTs you can bump them up to like 85 hz and whatnot. | 04:18 |
| Wicked | mindrape, well ubuntu set it to 50 and its making everything blurry and look like shit | 04:18 |
| mindrape | hrrmmm. | 04:18 |
| mindrape | I'd google the model number and see what the recommended v/hsync rates are for xorg.conf | 04:18 |
| mindrape | odd that it would be 50... never heard of it that low. | 04:18 |
| netyire | Wicked: hmm, have you restarted xorg? | 04:18 |
| shipz | That worked...thanks | 04:18 |
| netyire | ctl+alt+backspace | 04:19 |
| Wicked | i know they are. and i set them to it...still nothing | 04:19 |
| Wicked | netyire, yes. | 04:19 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: silly question, but is the wifi card on? | 04:19 |
| bullgard4 | What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic? | 04:19 |
| netyire | hmm, possibly the driver? | 04:19 |
| smokeymirror | well i dont know | 04:19 |
| mindrape | Wicked - what is your resolution set to? Is the whole screen blurry or just text? | 04:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smokeymirror, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011104 | 04:19 |
| smokeymirror | it only has a touch button | 04:19 |
| Rapture2k4 | you using a laptop, right? | 04:19 |
| Wicked | mindrape, just test. and the colors are off | 04:19 |
| Farajamo | Anyone think they can help me with a boot problem? | 04:19 |
| smokeymirror | the touch button doesn't work and i have no way to find out how to turn it on | 04:19 |
| Wicked | *text | 04:20 |
| mindrape | Wicked - do you use an nVidia or ATI card? | 04:20 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: um... maybe a <FN> + Function key combo? like FN+F8 | 04:20 |
| bullgard4 | Farajamo: Please put a specific question here. Your question as put is not smart. | 04:20 |
| Wicked | mindrape, brand spanking new msi nvidia 260...litterly put it in a hour ago | 04:20 |
| smokeymirror | fn + f8 is brightnestt | 04:20 |
| smokeymirror | i tried all the fn + fkeys | 04:21 |
| mindrape | Wicked - do you have a System -> Administration -> nVidia X Server Settings option? | 04:21 |
| MrAnthrope | Can anyone think of a reason why Ubuntu would load my sound card drivers sometimes and not others? | 04:21 |
| grayhane | cannot mount usb drive after upgrading to 8.10 | 04:21 |
| MrAnthrope | Sometimes when I start up I have sound. Sometimes I don't. | 04:21 |
| Farajamo | When I boot into Ubuntu (or at least try to) it boots straight into a blank white screen. Anyone know why? | 04:21 |
| Wicked | mindrape, i do not | 04:21 |
| netyire | MrAnthrope: hmm, it's probably not the drivers | 04:21 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: i take it you don't get an on-screen display for those options, right? | 04:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Farajamo, did you install xp first and single drive or dual drive system.. THe better the question, the better the answer | 04:22 |
| netyire | MrAnthrope: sound under ubuntu breaks down occasionally, when different programs try to access the soundcard directly | 04:22 |
| smokeymirror | nope | 04:22 |
| Wicked | mindrape, but i do have the nvidia-settings command via cli | 04:22 |
| MrAnthrope | Oh I see. So that's why it's seemingly random. | 04:22 |
| netyire | MrAnthrope: are you on 8.04? | 04:22 |
| MrAnthrope | 8.10 | 04:22 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: did you see my question for you? | 04:22 |
| Farajamo | No, I installed Ubuntu first but use the XP boot menu because of problems I had with grub. And when you say dual drive system I'm assuming harddrives? It's one drive partitioned. | 04:23 |
| drone_ | here's something kinda curious: I just installed the 64 bit flash plugin on ubuntu 8.10 but it wont work unless I run firefox as root | 04:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: Enterprise level wifi on ubuntu .... gives troubles about certs ... ? | 04:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Farajamo, sudo nvidia-xconfig from a terminal.. | 04:23 |
| netyire | MrAnthrope: hmm, you can walk through the pulseaudio howto to make sure it's setup properly, or if that fails, use alsa with dmix | 04:23 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: mkay... well... best bet is to install ndiswrapper and download the drivers from intel | 04:23 |
| netyire | MrAnthrope: hold on, I'll link you | 04:23 |
| Farajamo | That's the thing, I cant' even get to a terminal | 04:23 |
| smokeymirror | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m44aad389 nm-tool results | 04:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, not something I deal with... | 04:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: try CTRL+ALT+F1 | 04:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: hrmm oh well | 04:23 |
| Farajamo | I did. No key commands work. I just get a blaring white screen. | 04:23 |
| Farajamo | If it helps, this happened only after I upgraded my computer. | 04:24 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: have you seen anybody else coming in with issues related to enterprise level wifi (with WPA) ? | 04:24 |
| netyire | MrAnthrope: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 | 04:24 |
| MrAnthrope | Thanks, netyire. | 04:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Farajamo, YOu cant use the xp boot instead of grub | 04:24 |
| Rapture2k4 | smokeymirror: you can get it by doing: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 04:24 |
| Wicked | bah. so mindrape i opened that up and wento the display configuration and set the resolution to 1920x1200 and the refresh to 60..hit apply and it still is blurry. | 04:24 |
| smokeymirror | ok | 04:24 |
| Farajamo | Well originally (before the upgrade) the xp boot menu was working fine. | 04:24 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: when you said grub gave you problems ... what do you mean? | 04:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, many have had issue with wpa as some chipsets dont have good support. | 04:24 |
| Wicked | i also tried setting the refresh to auto and hit apply....still is blurry :( | 04:24 |
| mindrape | Wicked - is there something on the monitor you can push to make it degauze? Not sure if LCDs do that but used to be a common CRT issue... | 04:24 |
| Wicked | i do think so. | 04:25 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: yeah -- it all worked under HH, not sure what's up under Intrepid | 04:25 |
| Rapture2k4 | Wicked: have you tried adjusting the temperature of the monitor to a higher/lower setting? (thru the buttons on the monitor) | 04:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, I have several boxes on HH waiting for something I must have before upgrading | 04:25 |
| mindrape | Wicked - can you also check the connection points of the cable to make sure its all tightly fitted? | 04:25 |
| SaturnDriver | does anyone know if unicode characters show up in windows | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | You dont Degause LCD's :) | 04:25 |
| Farajamo | Well when I set up grub, Ubuntu booted fine, but when I tried to boot into XP I get an error akin to: ntfo.exe or something was missing and couldn't boot | 04:26 |
| Rapture2k4 | Wicked: you'd be looking for color temperature | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | Farajamo, ntldr was missing perhaps? | 04:26 |
| Wicked | Rapture2k4, yea. it has economy,text, and picture modes...it looks equally blurry.....only brighter or darker | 04:26 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: yeah | 04:26 |
| smokeymirror | :(( | 04:26 |
| MrAnthrope | My more pressing problem is Ubuntu can't find my PCI dialup modem. I've been trying to get Ubuntu to find it for two days. | 04:26 |
| Wicked | mindrape, yea. everything looks nice and secure | 04:26 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: not good... | 04:26 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: did you defrag the partition before you partitioned it to install ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| Farajamo | Well I tried replacing the file but it didn't make a difference so I used the XP boot menu. | 04:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MrAnthrope, Sounds like a winmodem | 04:27 |
| MrAnthrope | It is. | 04:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dialup | 04:27 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | MrAnthrope, some winmodems have no support.. some do... | 04:27 |
| MrAnthrope | Stratitec IC56A agere | 04:27 |
| Rapture2k4 | Wicked: I had this problem with a 9800 GTX... trying to remember how i fixed it.. | 04:27 |
| MrAnthrope | Already done, ubottu. | 04:27 |
| MrAnthrope | ;) | 04:27 |
| Cpudan80 | ubottu: is a robot | 04:27 |
| Farajamo | I installed Ubuntu first. So I had it installed, then split the harddrive in two, then installed XP on the empty partition | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about is a robot | 04:27 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 04:27 |
| Cpudan80 | hrm.... | 04:27 |
| Cpudan80 | But then what did you do | 04:27 |
| Cpudan80 | You have to put grub back on | 04:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, agreed | 04:28 |
| Farajamo | Oh, and the missing file was "NTOSKRNL.exe" | 04:28 |
| Wicked | Rapture2k4, ah ok. i upgraded today from my old bfgtech 7800 gt oc to this new geforce 260.....and its been a pain........ | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: this was immediately after installing XP? | 04:28 |
| fxhp | I just installed 8.10 and now my video is all messed up | 04:28 |
| MrAnthrope | It's an agere modem, which supposedly works. I just can't do it because I'm a total and complete Linux newb. | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: As I understand it - you did | 04:28 |
| fxhp | I'm unable to run with nvidia drivers . | 04:28 |
| MrAnthrope | I have some drivers but I have no idea how to go about installing them. | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Partition --> Ubuntu --> XP --> ERROR | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Is that not right? | 04:28 |
| Farajamo | No. This happened immediately after upgrading my comp with new parts (thanks to Christmas). I dual-booted with the XP boot menu fine up until then. | 04:29 |
| syed_nawaz | when installing ubuntu, if there are partitions already in that system, then ubuntu displays the existing partition information, how does the installer get this information | 04:29 |
| Cpudan80 | wait now | 04:29 |
| Cpudan80 | That changes the ball game | 04:29 |
| Dante123 | upgrade 8.04 to 8.10...all works fine except network manager says there is no connection....although there is and I am using it now. What gives? | 04:29 |
| mindrape | syed_nawaz: probably read via sudo fdisk -l | 04:29 |
| Cpudan80 | What new parts did you put in farj | 04:29 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: ^ | 04:29 |
| Rapture2k4 | Dante123: sounds like some nice wifi :D | 04:29 |
| wangjinqu | hello | 04:30 |
| Farajamo | Mobo, Video card, processor, and additional ram | 04:30 |
| syed_nawaz | mindrape, i am looking for the labels which would also be displayed about the partition. | 04:30 |
| Farajamo | And an extra harddrive | 04:30 |
| mindrape | syed_nawaz: sudo lshw -C storage | 04:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Wait what? | 04:30 |
| Cpudan80 | You replaced all that and expected XP to go along peachy fine? | 04:30 |
| Rapture2k4 | Farajamo: .... wow man... this is gonna be fun... gotta figure out which drive has the bootloader installed on it | 04:30 |
| mindrape | mebbe? | 04:30 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 04:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: XP will not boot after all those changes | 04:30 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: surprisingly, XP gave me no error, I'm only having problems with Ubuntu | 04:31 |
| MrAnthrope | XP hates when you change hardware. I've corrupted XP like that before. | 04:31 |
| mindrape | syed_nawaz: dunno... could be a number of different places. I'm pretty sure fdisk would be the spot to get all the details though via some command switches. | 04:31 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: I'm in XP right now | 04:31 |
| Cpudan80 | o_O | 04:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Farajamo, Why did it take you this long to answer my question about single or dual drive etc | 04:31 |
| linuxman410 | anyone here using a dlink kvm switch | 04:31 |
| Rapture2k4 | i think drugs | 04:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Now Im really confused | 04:31 |
| wangjinqu | haha i have only one OS the ubuntu | 04:31 |
| Farajamo | Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, I'm not sure what you meant by it | 04:31 |
| Cpudan80 | So the only problem is that you can't boot to ubuntu Farajamo ? | 04:31 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: yes | 04:31 |
| syed_nawaz | mindrape, can the information be obtained from the /proc | 04:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: Well after changing all that ... | 04:32 |
| Cpudan80 | its no wonder why it wouldnt work | 04:32 |
| Cpudan80 | You basically built a new computer | 04:32 |
| Rapture2k4 | anyone know if it is possible to install Xbuntu on a flashdrive from inside Ubuntu via apt-get? | 04:32 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: more or less, yeah | 04:32 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: I don't see why that would affect me booting, though | 04:32 |
| kakalto1 | I have an ISA SB16 sound card. I get the ubuntu sound at the login screen, but after this there is no sound, the system says it cannot find a volume control gstreamer plugin and/or device. I can't access volume controls in alsamixer without specifying "alsamixer -c 0" at which point it gives me volume controls. How can I fix all this, get the system to recognise my sound card and 'just work' ? | 04:32 |
| MrAnthrope | Farajamo: This is what I would do. I would change all my hardware back to what it was and then only replace the pieces one at a time with the new christmas stuff. | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: ok so you boot ubuntu and get a white screen? | 04:33 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: Yep. | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | ok... | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | so that means it is working off the correct HDD | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | in theory... | 04:33 |
| Farajamo | MrAnthrope: Jeez, that would be a lot of work. Would I need new parts then? | 04:33 |
| roy_polos | fg | 04:33 |
| roy_polos | ghf | 04:33 |
| Rapture2k4 | Cpudan80: he could have multiple boot loaders.. | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | what does your XP boot.ini file look like? | 04:33 |

| Cpudan80 | !pastebin | Farajamo | 04:34 |
| ubottu | Farajamo: 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) | 04:34 |
| syed_nawaz | mindrape, does the installer uses fdisk to get the information about the existing partition of a system. | 04:34 |
| MrAnthrope | Maybe one of your new parts isn't Linux-compatible. | 04:34 |
| Cpudan80 | highly unlikely | 04:34 |
| mlester | hey how do you get moonlight working in firefox I can't find anything through google | 04:34 |
| Rapture2k4 | ya | 04:34 |
| Farajamo | cpudan80: Sorry, I'm new to IRC and I have no idea how to pastebin. I rarely use IRC. Also, I can't seem to remember how to get to boot.ini, how embarassing | 04:34 |
| Katangawise | Hi all! How can I share my folder to another network users, please? | 04:34 |

| ^paradox^ | when is the next release of ubuntu scheduled to come out? i mean how long before update manager gets it, notifies me? | 04:35 |
| Chaorain | I used NTFS Configuration tool to mount some internal hard drives but I reformated them and now the old icons wont go away | 04:35 |
| Rapture2k4 | or maybe it's Windows\system32\boot.ini | 04:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: just go to pastebin.ca and paste the text from the file in the box - then tell us the link here | 04:35 |

| Daliang | i want to install ubuntu8.10 into a USB (1G fat32) whai should i do? | 04:35 |
| Cpudan80 | ^paradox^: april | 04:35 |
| linux733t | ATU has a llinux suite that supports Nvidia cards | 04:35 |
| fxhp | ^paradox^ Every 6 months there is a release | 04:35 |
| Rapture2k4 | Daliang: get a bigger USB drive | 04:35 |
| Chaorain | I'm actually useing Mythbuntu | 04:35 |
| ^paradox^ | april huh? | 04:35 |
| Cpudan80 | yep | 04:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Daliang, 1 gig and full ubuntu.. wont work | 04:35 |
| fxhp | ^paradox^ : latest release was 8.10, sooo that is 2008, oct... 6 months from that date | 04:36 |
| ^paradox^ | wasnt the last one this past june? | 04:36 |
| Cpudan80 | no | 04:36 |
| syed_nawaz | how does the ubuntu installer detects the existing partition information during installation. | 04:36 |
| Cpudan80 | october | 04:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !releases | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 04:36 |
| Rapture2k4 | Daliang: Ubuntu will need about 4-5GB install | 04:36 |
| fxhp | Upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10...nvidia driver messed up. Anyone have any tips? | 04:36 |
| MrAnthrope | Yea, 1 gig is not enough. | 04:36 |

| Cpudan80 | fxhp: did you rerun nvidia-xconfig ? | 04:36 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm using nvidia on 8.10. Don't they all use the same drivers? | 04:36 |
| ^paradox^ | if it was released in oct 2008 how come im still on 8.04? | 04:36 |
| Cpudan80 | Because you didnt upgrade? | 04:37 |
| Daliang | Rapture2k4: thank you i konw now,is there any method i can try with the 1G usb | 04:37 |
| Cpudan80 | The upgrade manager wont tell you about it by default | 04:37 |
| Chaorain | um any help with ntfs config tool? | 04:37 |

| linuxman410 | i bought a 8gig flash drive for less than 30 on ebay | 04:38 |
| Cpudan80 | ^paradox^: things changed since HH was a long term service release | 04:38 |
| Cpudan80 | at least thats my understanding | 04:38 |
| Overshee | i bought an 8gig for $18 | 04:38 |
| Overshee | like a month ago | 04:38 |
| kakalto1 | I have an ISA SB16 sound card. I get the ubuntu sound at the login screen, but after this there is no sound, the system says it cannot find a volume control gstreamer plugin and/or device. I can't access volume controls in alsamixer without specifying "alsamixer -c 0" at which point it gives me volume controls. How can I fix all this, get the system to recognise my sound card and 'just work' ? | 04:38 |
| kakalto1 | (17:33:03 | 04:38 |
| mlester | hey how do you get moonlight working in firefox I can't find anything through google | 04:39 |
| ^paradox^ | do i need to upgrade? | 04:39 |
| MrAnthrope | I bought a 1tb usb flash drive for two half pence. | 04:39 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: Well it works, interestingly enough. The K:\ drive is right because I had Ubuntu first, so XP assigned my drive to K:\ and the "ubuntu.bin" I did through a guide and I am not very familiar with it | 04:39 |
| fxhp | Cpudan80: no help, I think I have an issue with old drive left on the computer | 04:39 |

| COTOCO | Jack_Sparrow ? | 04:39 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: system --> prefs --> sound | 04:40 |
| Chaorain | is there a command to search inside all the man pages? | 04:40 |
| Rapture2k4 | Farajamo: easiest way to fix this is to go into your bios and change the order of your hard drives until it works. | 04:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | COTOCO, /j #ubuntu-br | 04:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | COTOCO, This is english only channel | 04:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Chaorain: aprop I think | 04:40 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: man -k IIRC | 04:40 |
| greenleaf | Question: Is it common for Ubuntu 8.10 to refuse to unmount a USB hard drive even when there are no operations being performed on it? | 04:40 |
| COTOCO | Jack_Sparrow big shit | 04:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Chaorain: man -k searchTermHere also works | 04:40 |
| Farajamo | Rapture2k4: I don't believe it's a booting problem, but a problem with Ubuntu itself. | 04:40 |
| Chaorain | man-k works thanks | 04:41 |
| Farajamo | Rapture2k4: I get the loading message from Ubuntu (so it's working) but then, BLAMMO, white screen. | 04:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: You really should switch to grub | 04:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: do you ever see the ubuntu screen at all? | 04:41 |
| WebcamWonder | greenleaf: Depends on what you mean by operation. Even though no read/write might be performed, a file on the stick might actually be kept open by any program which could theoretically prevent an unmount | 04:41 |
| Fezzler | I can't reduce this PDF. 17MB. UGH. Seems like the fellow scanned all the pages as art. | 04:41 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: Well I see the loading bar and the logo, if that's what you mean | 04:41 |
| quantumkenny | I just want to say to anyone that will listen: thank you for Ubuntu, I love it, it's wonderful | 04:42 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: so it gets all the way through that - and then you see the white? | 04:42 |
| Cpudan80 | well | 04:42 |
| Farajamo | CpuDan80: Yep. And when I try to get to a terminal nothing happens | 04:42 |
| Cpudan80 | when you do ctrl+alt+F1 nothing happens? | 04:42 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: Correct. Just stays white. | 04:42 |
| Cpudan80 | hrmmmm | 04:43 |
| WebcamWonder | CTRL+ALT+F1 during the usplash should drop you to text during the initial boot | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: now we finally get the full story... | 04:43 |
| greenleaf | WebcamWonder: yesterday I mounted a USB hard drive, did ls on the root of that drive, and then tried to unmount it, and was informed that it could not unmount | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | Interesting problem now... | 04:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80, sometimes it takes awhile | 04:43 |
| \Kira | how can I change a command priority? | 04:43 |
| WebcamWonder | greenleaf: It might be b/c your terminal was actually sitting in the directory you wanted to mount | 04:43 |
| \Kira | and what is realtime scheduling? | 04:44 |
| Rapture2k4 | anyone know if it is possible to use apt-get to install xbuntu on a drive? i'm in Ubuntu | 04:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: Yeah thats a good point, can you do ctrl+alt+f1 immediately when the thing splash shows up to get a full log of boot actions? | 04:44 |
| Cpudan80 | \Kira: nice | 04:44 |
| Cpudan80 | !nice | 04:44 |
| ubottu | 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | 04:44 |
| \Kira | Cpudan80: the command nice? | 04:44 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: I sure as hell can try and get back to you on that. | 04:44 |
| Cpudan80 | yep | 04:44 |
| \Kira | thanks | 04:44 |
| greenleaf | WebcamWonder: I checked that. It wasn't. it was in the directory above it | 04:44 |
| Dante123 | Rapture2k4 not using wifi....ethernet cable | 04:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: If you get to the white - try all the F keys <= 7 | 04:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rapture2k4, you can add xubuntu desktop to your cuprrent install, but you cant apt-get it to a differnets drive | 04:44 |
| === tritium_ is now known as tritium | ||
| WebcamWonder | greenleaf: Next time run the lsof command to see the open files, and run a grep on it... to find the applications that have open files on the USB stick | 04:45 |
| Farajamo | CpuDan80: I usually do, but I'll go through everything I can think of. I'll be back in a few | 04:45 |
| \Kira | Cpudan80: would I have to be root to do this? Since it could crash the system? | 04:45 |
| ^paradox^ | ok so i didnt get this cause its not long term support? | 04:45 |
| Cpudan80 | \Kira: ehhh no I dont think so | 04:45 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Cpudan80: CTRL+ALT+F1 during the usplash should drop you to text during the initial boot (Sorry forgot to put your names in :)) | 04:45 |
| Farajamo | Okay, I will try this. | 04:45 |
| Cpudan80 | \Kira: you have to be the owner of the process I think | 04:45 |
| greenleaf | WebcamWonder: I tried that, too. Nothing was using any files in that filesystem. i've got to go to bed now. I'll try working on it again tomorow | 04:45 |
| === greenleaf is now known as greenleaf-out | ||
| WebcamWonder | ^paradox^: Yes | 04:46 |
| ^paradox^ | they said its not a good idea to skip ubuntu versions so what version is coming out in april? | 04:46 |
| \Kira | Cpudan80: yes, but If I was to run a huge proccess and set it max nice, wouldnt it interfear with other users or even crash the system? Kinda like a denial of service attack? | 04:46 |
| firmfriend | hey i m unable to install my modem could u please help? | 04:46 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: there has the same problems. | 04:46 |
| WebcamWonder | !jaunty | ^paradox^ | 04:46 |
| ubottu | ^paradox^: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April -Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion | 04:46 |
| mindrape | \Kira it could significantly impact performance, yes. | 04:47 |
| \Kira | mindrape: what about crashes? | 04:47 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: yes but nice limits the values you can use | 04:47 |
| mindrape | \Kira - some system processes can't be re-nice'd though so in general you oughta be relatively safe. | 04:47 |
| \Kira | mindrape: cool, thanks | 04:47 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: certain things will be give higher priority anywa | 04:47 |
| Cpudan80 | right | 04:47 |
| ^paradox^ | so what do i do? get 8.10 anyways to be safe and not skip a version? | 04:47 |
| Cpudan80 | what mindrape said | 04:47 |
| Things | Hi, i am dual booting ubuntu and windows, but is there any way to change the order of the boot list? | 04:48 |
| WebcamWonder | ^paradox^: You can wait out till the next LTS | 04:48 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: depends on what you want out of your system.... | 04:48 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: sorry, not the same problem, but also a problem: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: could not get/set settings from/on resource | 04:48 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: if you like being on the bleeding edge and helping to find bugs then go for +1 | 04:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Things, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:48 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: if you like a VERY stable environment go with the LTS. | 04:48 |
| \Kira | Things: edit your boot.list file? Just a guess | 04:48 |
| Things | Ahh thanks | 04:48 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: if you want something in between go w Intrepid. :) | 04:48 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: Right you need to change the settings from system --> prefs --> sound | 04:48 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: you're aware I'm the one with the ISA sb16 card sound issues? | 04:48 |
| Rapture2k4 | thanx for all the help everyone | 04:48 |
| \Kira | Things: sorry, Jack_Sparrow had the right file | 04:48 |
| ^paradox^ | all i want is for my pc to run properly and have the latest fixes updates | 04:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Things, move the entry up or set the entry you want as the default | 04:48 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: change what settings? | 04:48 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: 8.04 or 8.10 oughta be your best bet. | 04:49 |
| Rapture2k4 | i'll probably be back for help with Samba... cuz I can't understand simple english wikis | 04:49 |
| Things | Okay | 04:49 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: You'll have to play with it | 04:49 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: when I try to change any of them, that error I just said comes up | 04:49 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: Most likely the default mixer track setting | 04:49 |
| kakalto1 | (when I click 'test') | 04:49 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: it can't get a default mixer | 04:49 |
| Cpudan80 | why not? | 04:49 |
| Cpudan80 | What does it do? | 04:49 |
| scott_ | hey, does Samba deamon requre the Cups? | 04:50 |
| Cpudan80 | no... | 04:50 |
| ^paradox^ | mindrape: so youre saying 8.10 is kinda like a beta? | 04:50 |
| Cpudan80 | if you want to print with it it does | 04:50 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: nah... its just not AS stable. | 04:50 |
| Cpudan80 | ^paradox^: no | 04:50 |
| mindrape | ^paradox^: if you were running a production server I'd probably go w 8.04 | 04:50 |
| mindrape | for a desktop 8.10 is just peachy | 04:50 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: okay, from the task tray icon, I get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." From preferences->sound, when I test, I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: could not get/set settings from/on resource" | 04:51 |
| ^paradox^ | nah im not a production server | 04:51 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: right but you should still be able to change the settings... | 04:51 |
| kakalto1 | when using alsamixer from the console, I must use "alsamixer -c 0"and then it supplies mixer volume thing | 04:51 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: Switch all the things to ALSA | 04:51 |
| Cpudan80 | in the gui | 04:51 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: done. now what? | 04:51 |
| Cpudan80 | push test | 04:52 |
| gorlak | i run 8.04 on my server, simply for the lts and so i wont have to upgrade for a while, set it up and let it go | 04:52 |
| gorlak | just tinker with it from time to time | 04:52 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: did you read what I said? For the third time: TEST button comes up with a box that says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: could not get/set settings from/on resource" | 04:52 |
| Farajamo | Okay, I'm back. It didn't work out. I managed to get to the terminal during the loading screen, it showed reading boot files, starting all the processes, etc. But then once it finished it went to the white screen again where I was stuck. | 04:53 |
| Cpudan80 | and that happened with the ALSA setting? | 04:53 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: ^ | 04:53 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: Yes. | 04:53 |
| Cpudan80 | The setting should read | 04:53 |
| Cpudan80 | "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" | 04:53 |
| ^paradox^ | it just got confusing is all. i was under the assumption that each 6month release was a stable one | 04:53 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: I'm not a useless noob. | 04:53 |
| Cpudan80 | not the ones that say "Intel .... (ALSA)" | 04:54 |
| Cpudan80 | here I can take a screenshot | 04:54 |
| mac2020 | I am attempting to use ubuntu server 8.10 as a router between two private networks I have assigned static ips to both interfaces. I've tried a few commands with iptables and route but nothing seems to be getting it to start forwarding traffic - any tips? | 04:54 |
| Cpudan80 | seeing as I have the same audio car | 04:54 |
| Cpudan80 | card | 04:54 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: sound blaster 16 ISA card? | 04:54 |
| WebcamWonder | ^paradox^: It is a stable release each 6 month. However, LTS is more stable than your stable release, if you understand what I mean :) | 04:54 |
| fxhp | I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now my nvidia drivers don't work... Any suggestions? | 04:54 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: ehh no... | 04:55 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: It didn't work out. I managed to get to the terminal during the loading screen, it showed reading boot files, starting all the processes, etc. But then once it finished it went to the white screen again where I was stuck. | 04:55 |
| Cpudan80 | somebody had an intel ICH card.. | 04:55 |
| * Cpudan80 is confused | 04:55 | |
| Cpudan80 | anyway | 04:55 |
| WebcamWonder | ^paradox^: And it would be supported with fixes for a longer time (until next LTS) | 04:55 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: You seem to be getting a little confused there, yes. | 04:55 |
| Cpudan80 | I'll post the screenshot in case it helps | 04:55 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: unless you get the same output when clickign "test", I doubt it will | 04:55 |
| ^paradox^ | well im still pretty new to linux. is my best bet just to wait until april? | 04:55 |
| ^paradox^ | will i be notified of that one? | 04:56 |
| WebcamWonder | ^paradox^: Depends on your settings in update-manager. If you have notification on LTS, then you will be notified on the next LTS only | 04:56 |
| Chaorain | I can't figure out how to unmount an internalll hard drive I mounted with ntfs configuration tool. any help? | 04:56 |

| mdmkolbe | I've got a few thousand image files (jpg, png, etc) that I need to preview in order to find the images I'm after (these are pulled from a disk recovery). What good image preview apps does Ubuntu have what won't keep me waiting for the previews to be generated (I can visually scan dozons a second) and won't eat up all my ram (I only have 1GB)? | 04:57 |
| nickrud | Chaorain, sudo umount /path/to/mouinpoint | 04:57 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: Nope | 04:57 |
| Cpudan80 | hmm | 04:57 |
| kakalto1 | Cpudan80: I have no default mixer track. | 04:57 |
| WebcamWonder | mdmkolbe: Nautilus has a built-in preview feature... if you want to go with that one | 04:57 |
| Cpudan80 | kakalto1: hrm... | 04:57 |
| nickrud | mdmkolbe, I'd say nautilus also, it thumbnails very quickly | 04:58 |
| Chaorain | command unmount not found? | 04:58 |
| nickrud | Chaorain, umount , not unmount | 04:58 |
| Chaorain | oh | 04:58 |
| MrAnthrope | I also read 'unmount', heh. | 04:58 |
| mdmkolbe | WebcamWonder: that is what I was using, but it thumbnaled to slow and eated up my ram until the machine started swapping | 04:58 |
| nickrud | one more example of human brain pattern recognition error ;;) | 04:59 |
| MrAnthrope | Yeah I have lots of those. | 04:59 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 04:59 |
| WebcamWonder | mdmkolbe: Ouch... | 04:59 |
| WebcamWonder | mdmkolbe: Well, I personally use digiKam to organize my photos... which thumbnails, etc. everything for you | 04:59 |
| nickrud | mdmkolbe, give gthumb a try, it's pretty quick also. | 04:59 |
| Chaorain | that fixed it but now I still have the folder there in Thunar File Manager | 04:59 |
| ^paradox^ | ok well im looking at update managers settings | 05:00 |

| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: how to get around it... | 05:00 |

| Farajamo | CpuDan80: I have no experience with SSH'ing so you'd have to help me along there | 05:00 |
| nickrud | Chaorain, yeah, the tool creates a mount point, you'd have to delete it (or leave it for next use) | 05:00 |
| ^paradox^ | how often do lts versions get released? | 05:00 |
| nickrud | ^paradox^, 3 years | 05:00 |
| nbeebo | would there be any difference in download speed if i download all files on deluge same time instead of 5? | 05:01 |
| Farajamo | CpuDan80: So I guess that's a "no". | 05:01 |
| Chaorain | ok how do I delete a mount point | 05:01 |
| ^paradox^ | ah ok | 05:01 |
| Cpudan80 | hrm... | 05:01 |
| nickrud | 2 years? | 05:01 |
| * mdmkolbe goes and tries gthumb | 05:01 | |
| johnny__ | :^) | 05:01 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: And it doesn't work with the recovery option of the kernel either? | 05:01 |
| onetinsoldier | liza0: i'd recommned 64-bit | 05:01 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: I actually haven't tried that | 05:02 |
| nickrud | ^paradox^, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 | 05:02 |
| mors | hi. is there a command that can be used to get a list of stations that are currently connected to my AP .. using wireless tools maybe | 05:02 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Nor have I used it before. Anything I should know? | 05:02 |
| liza0 | ok | 05:02 |
| Crash0werride | . | 05:02 |
| onetinsoldier | mors: AP? | 05:02 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: do you see a thing about selecting boot options when you boot up? | 05:02 |
| mindrape | mors - needs to be done at the AP not local. | 05:02 |
| johnny__ | anyone know how to fix the audio on an acer aspire one ? | 05:02 |
| mindrape | mors - your router can likely show you a client table | 05:02 |
| johnny__ | hum. | 05:02 |
| onetinsoldier | what is AP? | 05:02 |
| Cpudan80 | maybe press esc or spacebar or something ? | 05:02 |
| Farajamo | CpuDan80: Yeah | 05:02 |
| mindrape | access point | 05:02 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Nothing much... you should be given a list of otpions you want to perform, you can either do any of them, or skip the list | 05:02 |
| onetinsoldier | ahhh, thanks | 05:02 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: press that and choose an older kernel | 05:03 |
| onetinsoldier | thanks mindrape | 05:03 |
| Cpudan80 | See if that works | 05:03 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: WebcamWonder: Okay I'll try that, brb. | 05:03 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: I believe his Ubuntu hasn't actually booted properly once... then he would only have 1 kernel | 05:03 |
| mindrape | mors - technically you can sniff the wireless traffic and find out the MAC addresses of connected users... could be difficult if you are in an area w a cluster of APs though. | 05:03 |
| Cpudan80 | Well no | 05:03 |
| mors | mindrape: ah.. i thought if i put my wireless card into some kinda monitor mode, there might be utilities to look at current traffic and figure out the sta list.. thanks | 05:03 |
| Cpudan80 | He had ubuntu before | 05:03 |
| Cpudan80 | before he tinkered with the guts of his computer | 05:04 |
| mindrape | mors - yeah, you can do that... more difficult. | 05:04 |
| mors | yep. i thought there might be some util to do that. will log into the ap and check. thanks | 05:04 |
| mindrape | mors - easiest to just login to the router and get a client table. | 05:04 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: Wait, he tinkered with his PC... Anyone involved changing of video cards? | 05:04 |
| mors | yep | 05:04 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: yes - he swapped the vid card | 05:04 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: but he cant get to a terminal to rerun the nvidia-xconfig | 05:04 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: And did he happen to have the propietary drivers enabled before he did the swap? | 05:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: hang on | 05:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: ^ | 05:05 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: we'll have to ask him :-) | 05:05 |
| Chaorain | um how do I delete the mount points? | 05:05 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: ;) | 05:05 |
| Farajamo | I switched to a different brand. I went from nVidia to ATI so the drivers are invalid I'm assuming | 05:05 |
| mindrape | /etc/fstab Chaorain | 05:05 |
| Cpudan80 | oh god | 05:05 |
| * Cpudan80 dies | 05:05 | |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: And you had the official nVidia drivers enabled? | 05:05 |
| demdem | does anyone know a free compiler and how to install things on linux? sorry it's been at least ten years since i last used linux | 05:05 |
| nickrud | Chaorain, its the same as any other dir: rmdir /path/to/dir ; if it's owned by root, sudo rmdir /path/to/dir | 05:05 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Or were you running on the crappy Vesa? | 05:05 |
| mindrape | demdem - sudo apt-get install build-essential | 05:06 |
| sherl0ck | demdem, gcc | 05:06 |
| Chaorain | OH | 05:06 |
| Chaorain | it makes sense now | 05:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: essentially, did you select the proprietary driver for nvidia from the restricted driver thing that popped up | 05:06 |
| SonofC4 | Im on a live cd and tryin to burn an iso onto my secondary drive and it keeps telling me the disk is full but its blank | 05:06 |
| Chaorain | thanks a ton this has been buging me for weeks | 05:06 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: I can't really remember. I did this a while ago. | 05:06 |
| demdem | minderape: thanks | 05:06 |
| mindrape | np | 05:06 |
| Farajamo | Cpudan80: I believe so, but I might have also went and downloaded drivers. Fuzzy memory | 05:07 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Well, if you had fancy graphics turned on, that would be the problem right there | 05:07 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: Im willing to bet it was enabled | 05:07 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Oh. Why? | 05:07 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: and the solution is ....... | 05:07 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: Yes, and nVidia drivers are attempting to load on an ATI card | 05:07 |
| kckc | hello | 05:07 |
| Farajamo | Doh! | 05:07 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 05:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: because its loading invalid drivers for your card | 05:07 |
| mindrape | hi kckc | 05:07 |
| PUNISHER | Hello everybody! | 05:07 |
| onetinsoldier | hi | 05:07 |
| johnny__ | hello back to you kckc | 05:07 |
| Farajamo | CpuDan80: So what can I do to fix that? | 05:07 |
| PUNISHER | how are you?) | 05:08 |
| johnny__ | how are you doing PUNISHER | 05:08 |
| ^paradox^ | maybe i better not get 8.10 after all. its saying on the site geforce and a few other graphics cards are having problems. my box has geforce 6200 | 05:08 |
| Cpudan80 | hopefully WebcamWonder will shed some light on that Farajamo | 05:08 |
| johnny__ | hum | 05:08 |
| WebcamWonder | demdem: gcc can help you compile things. However, debian packages allow you to install precompiled applications for your distribution and platform | 05:08 |
| mindrape | we are all doing great, hello and hi to all... this is a support channel... if you wanna just chat head over to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:08 |
| MrAnthrope | I have a geforce 5500 and 8.10 works. | 05:08 |
| subone | Whats the deal with Vuze? did they go corporate or something? Is it safe to use? | 05:08 |
| johnny__ | I love GCC just like ANSI C .. | 05:08 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Let me try to google the options on the recovery menu | 05:08 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | hi | 05:08 |

| kckc | I have a toshiba a205 laptop, which has a AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter, but its not detected by ifconfig or iwconfig (or present in the networking gui). I do see it in the lspci -v list though. Any ideas? | 05:09 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Okay, thanks | 05:09 |

| PUNISHER | johnny__: and you? | 05:09 |
| sherl0ck | Hey, I tried installing 8.10 on a 2004 G4 iBook (PowerPC). It installed fine, but after the yaBoot, the screen goes inverse with white background and black text. After that, the screen goes black and nothing shows up. | 05:09 |
| MrAnthrope | I used it for months after it became Vuze. But I'm on dialup now so I can't P2P. | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | I'll let WebcamWonder take it from here Farajamo | 05:09 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | but i need some help intallling ubuntu | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Farajamo: good luck | 05:09 |
| bullgard4 | What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic? | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Im off | 05:09 |
| nickrud | !laptop | kckc (check for your machine there, it may have info that helps) | 05:09 |

| Decepticon | bizinichi@ks361773:~$ cat .znc/users/biz-sct/moddata/log/spamd_20081230.log >> irc.log | 05:10 |
| Decepticon | bash: irc.log: Permission denied | 05:10 |
| ^paradox^ | i mean hell the guys who installed the card already had to use nonfree drivers | 05:10 |
| sherl0ck | kckc, or modprobe ath9k | 05:10 |
| Decepticon | why??? | 05:10 |
| Cpudan80 | no problem | 05:10 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | the bots work quite well | 05:10 |
| PUNISHER | johnny__: good =) What do you talking about now? | 05:10 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | ubuntu facts | 05:10 |
| ^paradox^ | all i need is to have problems with the graphics card | 05:10 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, it simply tells you what kernel compilation options were used for the kernel | 05:10 |
| shredder12 | how do we apply a patch file?? | 05:10 |
| kckc | sherl0ck, doesn't seem to help | 05:10 |
| johnny__ | fucking acer aspire one. God I hate the PC speakers. how do i turn them off and have the audio jack working ? can anyone toss me a text link ? | 05:11 |
| Fezzler | their is no Macromedia Director/Lingo equivalent in Linux yet, is there? | 05:11 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | I have a sony vaio that is about 5 years old | 05:11 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: I can't help google find me any information... Coudl you tell me the list of toptions that you get after you go into the recovery mode? | 05:11 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, useful for starting a custom kernel compilation | 05:11 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | can i put linux on it? | 05:11 |
| kckc | nickrud: thanks, i'll check there | 05:11 |
| Chaorain | last question for now. Is there a way to make an internal disk appear with the external disks in Thunar File Manager? | 05:11 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Sure, I'll be back in a bit. | 05:11 |
| nickrud | kckc, I think someone who already knew gave you the answer above :) | 05:11 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: #xubuntu would be your best bet | 05:11 |
| Fezzler | I want to write simple game for my kids. Like a 5-6 level mario-type | 05:11 |
| nickrud | Ubuntu_Cookies, probably, and since it's old the support will be either excellent or terrible :) | 05:11 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: it should just give you a prompt in recovery mode | 05:12 |
| johnny__ | use GCC and/or rapidq Fezzler | 05:12 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | johnny__> dont swear (the code forbids it) | 05:12 |
| sherl0ck | kckc, compile madwifi from source | 05:12 |
| sherl0ck | svn version | 05:12 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: he should just be able to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from there | 05:12 |
| johnny__ | you have to be kidding me ? Ubuntu_Cookies | 05:12 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: Yeah... but I don't remmeber the options at all... completely blank here | 05:12 |
| nickrud | johnny__, think disney G rated here | 05:12 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: And google won't turn up anything either | 05:12 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: what do you mean all the options? | 05:12 |
| Fezzler | johnny__: how about Squeaky? | 05:12 |
| Cpudan80 | you mean all the options in xserver-xorg ? | 05:12 |
| Cpudan80 | for reconfigure | 05:13 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: You are presented with a list of options when you into recovery mode, xserver-reconfigure, dpkg, etc... | 05:13 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | johnny__ no im not kidding i like the cide | 05:13 |
| johnny__ | thanks Nickrud i will keep down now. | 05:13 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | code* | 05:13 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Ok. Thank you for explaining. -- So it is only an informational file to inform human beings? | 05:13 |
| johnny__ | ok I see your point ubunut_cookies | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | WebcamWonder: oh right right I forgot about that | 05:13 |
| shredder12 | I have downloaded a patch file and i m supposed to "apply the patch file" now.. how do i do it.. | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Well anyway | 05:13 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | <nickrud>thanks | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | he's in good hands | 05:13 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, I'm 99% sure of that. I've never seen it used anywhere | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Goodnight - goodluck | 05:13 |
| cellofellow | I have a TSSTcorp TS-L632D CD/DVD±RW drive on my laptop. It works OK for Data CDs, but from day one has been slow with Audio CDs and now doesn't read DVDs at all. | 05:13 |
| subone | MrAnthrope: did you have any issues installing it? | 05:13 |
| WebcamWonder | Cpudan80: Hardly... I am a noob by all standards :P | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | :-) | 05:14 |
| johnny__ | hum wow | 05:14 |

| ubottu | shredder12: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 05:14 |
| MrAnthrope | Installing what? | 05:14 |
| ^paradox^ | i guess ill just have to ask if anyone using pny technolgies nvidia geforce 6200 agp has had problems with it under 8.10 | 05:14 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Ok. | 05:14 |
| subone | Vuze | 05:14 |
| MrAnthrope | I didn't use it on Linux. | 05:14 |

| johnny__ | how do you turn the pc speakers off on a ACER aspire one netbook running ubunut ? | 05:14 |
| onetinsoldier | Fezzler: it stand for the Gnu C Compiler | 05:14 |
| Rabbitbunny | I'm having a problem with java. I can't view a java applet. http://www.javatester.org/enabled.html reports that java is not enabled, ff3 reports that it is. how do I procede? | 05:14 |
| johnny__ | GCC is a C++ compiler | 05:14 |
| shredder12 | ubottu: its a diff file.. | 05:15 |
| pist0l-fish | hi all. I just installed 8.10 and I have no sound- I used to use 8.04 and had sound. I have an Intel ICH5 (which is supported by alsa) and I have turned all the controls up using alsamixer (and unmuted everything). Any suggestions? | 05:15 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:15 |
| Fezzler | Oh, yea, write it in C. | 05:15 |
| cellofellow | Is there some way to diagnose problems in a DVD drive? | 05:15 |
| johnny__ | rapid-Q is a windows XP / Linux GUI compiler. | 05:15 |
| johnny__ | but I like C more. | 05:15 |
| johnny__ | ya | 05:15 |
| johnny__ | :P | 05:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Fezzler: there is g++ for C++ compiling | 05:15 |
| Fezzler | I'll use Ruby before C/C++ | 05:15 |
| kckc | sherl0ck, I actually just finished compiling madwifi from source, with no change in the problem | 05:15 |
| johnny__ | Ruby how do you use ruby ? | 05:16 |
| Fezzler | johnny__: ? | 05:16 |
| kckc | sherl0ck, (as per the comment on this page http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Toshiba+Satellite+A205) | 05:16 |
| WebcamWonder | johnny__: It is a scripting language like python, etc. | 05:16 |
| Rabbitbunny | johnny__: #ruby | 05:16 |
| johnny__ | ok, Ruby and python. fail I say. | 05:17 |
| johnny__ | maybe in time i will have more love for #ruby | 05:17 |
| nickrud | relative merits of programming languages fit #ubuntu-offtopic better, not really ubuntu support related | 05:17 |
| johnny__ | one day. | 05:17 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: http://pastebin.ca/1296194 | 05:18 |
| ^paradox^ | well if im gonna get 8.10 ill do it later today. 0:17 here in sc and im too tired to screw with it ;-) | 05:18 |
| Chaorain | nobody is answering in #Xubuntu so. Is there a way to make an internal disk appear with the external disks in Thunar File Manager? | 05:18 |
| Fezzler | sounds like Macromedia Director and Lingo path may be easier (than learning C++) | 05:18 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: pastebin.ca is always down for me... weird problem :S | 05:18 |
| Rabbitbunny | I'm having a problem with java. I can't view a java applet. http://www.javatester.org/enabled.html reports that java is not enabled, ff3 reports that it is. how do I procede? | 05:18 |
| Rabbitbunny | WebcamWonder: rafb.net/paste | 05:18 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, root, xfix | 05:18 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Never mind, got it... Proxied | 05:18 |
| chestazan | hiii | 05:19 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Alrighty | 05:19 |
| johnny__ | Alix Jones has his own shoutcast network.. lol. | 05:19 |
| mac2020 | my ubuntu server has no resolve.conf file - is this normal? | 05:19 |
| nickrud | Rabbitbunny, what version of java does firefox say it has? | 05:19 |
| Fezzler | I just want a little character to run in and out of five rooms and have arm go up and down | 05:19 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: Its actually a diff file.. Its actually a patch file for ethernet driver stuff.. now the article i read asked me to "apply the patch: patch<>" i tried the patch command and it gave me some hunk errors.. i think i m not able to use the command in the right format.. help please.. | 05:19 |
| johnny__ | epic. | 05:19 |
| nickrud | mac2020, it should have resolv.conf | 05:19 |
| mac2020 | ahh no e | 05:19 |
| ardchoille | How do I change the resolution of tty1? | 05:19 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: patch -p0 < pathtofile is thee syntax of the command IIRC | 05:19 |
| empiric | hi all any one use open source ALfreco DMS | 05:20 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Hold on | 05:20 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Sure | 05:20 |
| mac2020 | okay my resolv.conf file is there | 05:20 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: kk let me try it.. | 05:20 |
| johnny__ | can someone help me with the PC speaker problem with Ubunut? I'm just looking to turn off the built in speakers and not the audio jack. | 05:20 |
| webBuilder | hello to everyone, my question more application oriented than ubuntu, but you guys are the best so please give me an answer. I'm building image web Application. I'm storing the images outside tomcat and calling it via java servlet when ever I need to display the image/s to the user can linux handle this if I have multiple requests | 05:21 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Ok, I believe there are 2 ways of doing this... xfix or dropping to a root shell and modifying xorg.conf by hand. I have never done this before, so this is new territory for me as well... Although I have broken my xorg.conf many times | 05:21 |
| mac2020 | johnny__: you can do that by blacklist the module that makes your pc speaker run - one sec | 05:21 |
| ^paradox^ | times kinda dragging by today. it feels like it oughta e 3:00 instead of 0:22 | 05:21 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: it says that the "#1 hunk failed at 942" | 05:22 |
| D3RGPS31 | i accidentally removed ubuntu desktop with tasksel :/ after reinstalled the desktop, will i have to fish through to find out anything else it uninstalled? | 05:22 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: Are you sure the patch is against the correct source? | 05:22 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: So I should just select xfix and work my way from there? | 05:22 |
| onetinsoldier | ardchoille: you have to have a framebuffer driver set up. it probably already is. then you pass an option to the kernel like so... vga=794 ...the value you use determines what the resolution is in consle tty's. | 05:22 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Hold on, let me ask someone here who might know this stuff | 05:22 |
| mac2020 | johnny__:http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/09/17/blacklist-your-pc-speaker/ | 05:22 |
| nickrud | D3RGPS31, no, the desktop is only a list of packages to install; removing the list doesn't remove the items in the list | 05:23 |
| mac2020 | johnny__: that should get you the results you want | 05:23 |
| earthmeLon | Hey guys, I just bought a new soundcard and I got it working (with OSS >_<) Im trying to figure out how to adjust the volume, though, from my panel. I've tried changing the device to everything, but nothing adjusts the volume of the new sound card. Is there something I need to restart so it will register the new card in the list? | 05:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Guys, will xfix in the recovery mode rebuild the xorg.conf and drop back to the open-source drivers? | 05:23 |
| webBuilder | hello to everyone, my question more application oriented than ubuntu, but you guys are the best so please give me an answer. I'm building image web Application. I'm storing the images outside tomcat and calling it via java servlet when ever I need to display the image/s to the user/s. Can linux handle this if I have multiple requests | 05:23 |
| webBuilder | sorry about my english | 05:23 |
| ardchoille | onetinsoldier: Ah, yeah, it's the "vga" bit that I forgot. Thank you :) | 05:23 |
| johnny__ | cool | 05:23 |
| webBuilder | I made the correction | 05:23 |
| johnny__ | thank you | 05:23 |
| webBuilder | anyone please :( | 05:23 |

| nickrud | webBuilder, maybe asking on #tomcat ? | 05:24 |
| shredder12 | ya, i think so.. it was about resolving some ethernet problem with dell vostro 1510 in Ubuntu hardy.. i link to the patch was given in the article.. so i think.. that its correct.. | 05:24 |
| webBuilder | nickrud okay I'll try | 05:24 |
| webBuilder | thank you | 05:24 |
| webBuilder | but they do not know about linux | 05:24 |
| nickrud | oh | 05:24 |
| nickrud | the philistines ;) | 05:24 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: As per this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899594 try the xfix first. You can go ahead and later modify the xorg.conf if it doesn't work | 05:25 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | i did something and i lost my network connection icon from my gnome panel in ubuntu 8.10 :( how can i get it back? | 05:25 |
| Rabbitbunny | nickrud: Good thought path. Firefox is a liar. Installing java now. | 05:25 |
| onetinsoldier | ardchoille: your welcome. | 05:25 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: ya, i think so.. it was about resolving some ethernet problem with dell vostro 1510 in Ubuntu hardy.. i link to the patch was given in the article.. so i think.. that its correct.. | 05:25 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Okay. By the way man, thanks for all the help so far. I'm having such a weird problem that it's tough to find help. | 05:25 |
| nickrud | Rabbitbunny, be sure to install sun-java6-plugin | 05:25 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: Could you give me the path to the patch? | 05:25 |
| Soliloquial | anyone know why I might get a SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED bsod when trying to install windows in a virtual machine? | 05:25 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Ahh, no problems. Glad to help :) | 05:26 |
| johnny__ | BRB | 05:26 |
| johnny__ | bye | 05:26 |
| nickrud | Soliloquial, hm, I'd suggest finding a forum/channel that supports the virtuall machine; we don't do windows here :) | 05:26 |
| johnny__ | I hope this works | 05:26 |
| WebcamWonder | Soliloquial: You would be better off asking in the channel dedicated to your virtual machine application | 05:26 |
| Kohlrak | Soliloquial: this is for linux, not windows. However, in a pm i might be able to help if you're willing to do some research =p | 05:26 |

| cellofellow | Some help with that maybe? ^^^^^^^^ | 05:27 |
| Chaorain | can someone explain how mount works? I know I need "mount -t ntfs 'device' /media/windows" but what do I put for the device? | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Mageiriki-me-bas, you still have internet connection? | 05:27 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | nick, yes. | 05:27 |
| Kohlrak | Chaorain, have you tried man "mount"? | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Chaorain: try parted -l | 05:28 |
| cellofellow | Chaorain: try ntfs-3g instead too. | 05:28 |
| mdmkolbe | WebcamWonder, nitridr: fyi, gthumb didn't work (it wanted to pre-calculated all the thumbs), but it looks like gqview will do just fine | 05:28 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | nickrud, but there is not the icon, so i cannot choose in wich wireless i want to connect. So i have a problem :( | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Chaorain: then see if you see a partition that's listed as ntfs | 05:28 |
| nickrud | Chaorain, the device would be in /dev ; it's a pointer to the physical partition. sudo fdisk -l will list all the partitions and give the /dev/<path> to use | 05:28 |
| nickrud | Mageiriki-me-bas, ok, do right click panel, add to panel, and add notification area | 05:28 |
| WebcamWonder | mdmkolbe: Ahh... Sorry, I never knew it wanted to pre-calc. I used to use f-spot and then have only recently switched to digiKam | 05:29 |
| Chaorain | WOW connection lagged | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Chaorain: bah.. nvm, the parted command doesn't work.. try --> fdisk -l | 05:29 |
| WebcamWonder | onetinsoldier: Don't forget to sudo that :) | 05:30 |
| addicted68098 | Hi, I am wondering if switching from a Pentium 4 1.67ghz processor with 512mb memory and 64mb video to an Intel Atom 330 w/ intel board will be a speed increase or decrease, thanks | 05:30 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: i think its sudo fdisk -l :) | 05:30 |
| Geoff_ | Hey, can someone help me with installing GRUB? I already have Linux and Windows installed, but I need to restore GRUB. My first hard drive got messed up and I needed to reformat it, but I can't figure out how to install GRUB to boot my Linux stuff on my second hard drive. | 05:30 |

| Mageiriki-me-bas | nickrud, thank you very very much! | 05:32 |

| Ward1983 | my friend and i both use dyndns, we want to make a littel script: PC1 checks every few minutes if PC2 is still online, if its not online, PC1 starts a ddclient and takes over the hostname (1:1 copy of the webservers) | 05:32 |
| Sindacious | Is there anyone here that successfully upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 with no issues? | 05:33 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: yes it has | 05:33 |
| Ward1983 | anyone know if something like that allready exists? | 05:33 |
| Rabbitbunny | while i'm in this channel, get some dolt to work on launchpad. what retard figured that forcing people to memorize a login to report errors was a great idea? I don't care to help with your errors... I want mine fixed. get it? | 05:33 |
| Ward1983 | i mean well be having the same content on out webservers | 05:33 |
| Ward1983 | we want more redundancy that way | 05:33 |
| helloyo | good to see linux is improving nicely while i've been away | 05:33 |
| peepsalot | i don't understand my network manager. when I plug in to wired connection it shows the wired connection radio button selected, but the wireless network I was previously connected to is also still selected. is it connected to both at the same time? | 05:34 |
| eseven73 | Ward1983: maybe a bash script with rsync on a cron would do something like that , although dont ask me how :) | 05:34 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: Try patch -p1 < path.to.file | 05:34 |
| Ward1983 | eseven73, the syncing is not the problem | 05:34 |
| Ward1983 | eseven73, the dyndns part is the problem | 05:34 |
| WebcamWonder | peepsalot: It is possible to be connected to multiple networks at the same time | 05:34 |
| eseven73 | ah | 05:34 |
| WebcamWonder | !pm | rzta | 05:35 |
| ubottu | rzta: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 05:35 |
| peepsalot | WebcamWonder, well i'm trying to test the performance of my wired connection, so I need to be sure that I'm only connected to that | 05:35 |
| peepsalot | WebcamWonder, well i'm trying to test the performance of my wired connection, so I need to be sure that I'm only connected to that | 05:35 |
| Ward1983 | so PC1 checks if PC2 (other location / ISP) is online, if not, PC1 takes over the dyndns domain that was first assigned to the ip of PC2 | 05:35 |
| Ward1983 | and that also the other way around | 05:35 |
| WebcamWonder | peepsalot: You can disconnect from the wireless if you want | 05:35 |
| darkrubicant | evening | 05:36 |
| darkrubicant | having a problem with sudo apt-get update | 05:36 |
| smkn_ | woy................................ | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | yep Ward1983 that would require some sort of bash script over SSH, that pings PC2 every so many mins, if no ping responce, pc1 kicks things in gear, but you'd prolly have to crawl around the bash forums for the script :( | 05:37 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: same error.. "ing file r8168.h #1 failed at 942" | 05:37 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, what problem? | 05:37 |
| darkrubicant | failed to fetch problem | 05:37 |
| darkrubicant | I'll post in a paste bin what it's saying | 05:37 |
| darkrubicant | been doing this for days | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | Ward1983: try #Bash? | 05:37 |

| 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) | 05:37 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: Ok, open the r8168.h in gedit/leafpad | 05:37 |
| Ward1983 | eseven73, will look aroudn first this probably allready exists | 05:37 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: And tell me what do you see at line number 943 | 05:38 |
| nickrud | Ward1983, or maybe a php script that passes info back and forth | 05:38 |
| darkrubicant | http://paste.ubuntu.com/95674/ | 05:38 |
| eseven73 | Ward1983: sounds like a common enough script, shouldnt have too much probs finding it, ask in #bash too :) | 05:38 |
| darkrubicant | there's the paste of what's happening, it's failing to open two sources of index files, and it tells me to do sudo apt-get update again to fix the problem, but it doesn't fix it. | 05:38 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, put your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 05:39 |
| Ward1983 | nickrud, i'm pretty sure php cannot execure programs | 05:39 |
| darkrubicant | ok | 05:39 |
| Ward1983 | nickrud, ddclient is a program | 05:39 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: this is line 943 CSIAR_Addr_Mask = 0x0fff, | 05:39 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: and this one is 942 "CSIAR_ByteEn_shift = 12," | 05:39 |
| onetinsoldier | darkrubicant: you've been having that problem for days? | 05:40 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: Yup, that source is not the same as the one with which this patch was generated | 05:40 |
| nickrud | Ward1983, php is a scripting language, I do think it can call anything: http://us2.php.net/exec | 05:40 |
| jtaji | darkrubicant: your sources.list must be a mess, hardy, hardy backports, gutsy-backports, intrepid, wth | 05:40 |
| darkrubicant | yes | 05:40 |
| darkrubicant | hang on | 05:40 |
| ardchoille | onetinsoldier: vga=794 didn't work, neither did 791. I stopped doing this in Feisty because there was a bug that rendered its use ineffective. However now it seems that Ubuntu will scan when prsented with the wrong value and offer correct values | 05:40 |
| peepsalot | are there any ways to optimize samba performance? | 05:40 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: You can open up the patch file and see that it is completely different from what the patch file is expecting... that is why it is failing | 05:40 |
| darkrubicant | I know I changed some things because a post said to when updating some things, and i'm sure this is the problem now i'm not sure what to change back. | 05:41 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Success! I am typing this from Ubuntu | 05:41 |

| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: Thanks for all the help! Now I just need to re-do all my drivers and monitor configuration. | 05:41 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, line 36, change ftp to http | 05:41 |
| Ward1983 | nickrud, so i can start any program trough php? sounds like a very large potential security issue | 05:41 |
| darkrubicant | k | 05:41 |
| WebcamWonder | Farajamo: Haha. No problem. However, now that you have an ATI, you would need the ATI drivers and the ATI tools to configure everything, not nVidia :) | 05:42 |
| onetinsoldier | ardchoille: hmmm, i see. there should be a list somewhere that shows what given value determines what a specific resolution will be | 05:42 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, also line 43, check for others | 05:42 |
| tengulre | how to convert the .rle to .jpg ? | 05:42 |
| Farajamo | WebcamWonder: I see that now... Well, I'm off to enjoy. Thanks again. If I have anymore problems, I'll be back, don't worry. | 05:42 |
| darkrubicant | the other ones are good. | 05:42 |
| nickrud | Ward1983, yes: there are security options, read the link to exec for an exampel | 05:43 |
| Broly | anyone have an idea why ubuntu would shutdown while i was asleep? | 05:43 |
| darkrubicant | what do I need to type to alter this file? | 05:43 |
| ardchoille | onetinsoldier: sorted, 318 works now where 791 used to work (1280x1024) | 05:43 |
| darkrubicant | sudo gedit? | 05:43 |
| Ward1983 | nickrud, im not gonna take those chances, php is just not made for this stuff | 05:43 |
| WebcamWonder | darkrubicant: gksu gedit | 05:43 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: Ya i can see.. but i have downloaded the latest version of realtek driver.. is it because of it.. | 05:43 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: i mean because of the latest version | 05:43 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop (make a backup) then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:43 |
| ardchoille | onetinsoldier: when grub detects the wrong value, it will present you with a list of correct values :) | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: Highly likely | 05:44 |
| onetinsoldier | ardchoille: ahhh, i see. well, i wonder where these newer values can found, but glad you figured it out :-) | 05:44 |
| onetinsoldier | ardchoille: roger that. | 05:44 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, a general rule: never use sudo with a gui app, always use gksu | 05:44 |
| shredder12 | WebcamWonder: may be i should consult the writer of the article.. newaz.. thanks for ur help.. | 05:44 |
| darkrubicant | why | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | shredder12: No problems. Glad to help | 05:44 |
| akahige1 | due to hardware compatibilities with Intrepid, it looks like I'm going to have to revert to Hardy... is there a better way of doing this...? | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | darkrubicant: sudo is for terminal based applications. gksu is the graphical counterpart to that | 05:45 |
| jtaji | akahige1: besides reinstalling? not really | 05:45 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, there's a possibility of writing config files in your home directory as root; it causes real issues sometimes | 05:45 |
| UndergroundZer0 | hi all | 05:45 |
| darkrubicant | oh | 05:45 |
| darkrubicant | thanks nickrud | 05:45 |
| UndergroundZer0 | Wanna ask q? please help | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: are you certain you hardware incompatibility cannot be solved under the newer version of ubuntu? | 05:45 |
| akahige1 | jtaji: so reformatting the file systems and going from there? | 05:46 |
| nickrud | darkrubicant, when you have some time, you should compare: env | sort ; sudo env | sort; gksu env | sort | 05:46 |
| jtaji | UndergroundZer0: ask away | 05:46 |
| pentaside | I'm new to Linux and I want to learn more about terminal commands. Anyone have a book or website recommendations? | 05:46 |
| UndergroundZer0 | Can I load both server edition and Desktop which will integrate both | 05:46 |
| nickrud | UndergroundZer0, yes | 05:46 |
| UndergroundZer0 | nickrud: how? | 05:47 |
| jtaji | pentaside: here are two to start you with ;) http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html | 05:47 |
| nickrud | UndergroundZer0, in fact, if you install the server, you can just: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get the full desktop | 05:47 |
| onetinsoldier | pentaside: http://linuxcommand.org/ | 05:47 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | cool | 05:47 |
| UndergroundZer0 | yes | 05:47 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: I'm not sure about that. the prob is that xorg chews up >75% of the cpu. there are bugs filed, but no activity. I tried asking in the xorg channel if there's a possibility that it could be a kernel conflict, but no one responded | 05:47 |
| UndergroundZer0 | nickrud | 05:47 |
| onetinsoldier | !terminal | pentaside | 05:47 |
| UndergroundZer0 | i did that | 05:47 |
| ubottu | pentaside: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:47 |
| === deniz is now known as Guest74718 | ||

| Ubuntu_Cookies | can you hack into ubuntu from command line (like in mac os x ) | 05:48 |
| UndergroundZer0 | does all the server tools like Mysql Php Apache tomcat mailserver ...etc come along with desktop edition | 05:48 |
| UndergroundZer0 | ? | 05:48 |
| pentaside | Ok thanks guys. | 05:48 |
| WebcamWonder | UndergroundZer0: Yes... that are one and the same thing | 05:49 |
| WebcamWonder | UndergroundZer0: Yes... they *are one and the same thing | 05:49 |
| nickrud | UndergroundZer0, the only substantiall diff between them is the desktop installs the -generic kernel, while the server installs the -server kernel. I've never really compared them, so the I'm not sure of the differences. But both work fine with either | 05:49 |
| mindrape | UndergroundZer0: by default they aren't installed but it's as simple as sudo apt-get install <each> | 05:49 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: lol. do you have any thoughts about the kernel theory? | 05:49 |
| UndergroundZer0 | nickrud thank you so much and thank you guys | 05:49 |

| huwenfeng | hi, i got a problem, i use ssh to login to a remote server, and if i did not input anything for a while, maybe 10 minutes, when i input commands again, it will logout from the remote server. it said somethig like : " connection closed by peer ....." . anyone knows about this? | 05:51 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | i do | 05:51 |
| mindrape | !abuse | 05:51 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:51 |
| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: Idle timeout | 05:51 |
| huwenfeng | Ubuntu_Cookies: then ? | 05:51 |
| huwenfeng | WebcamWonder: This is the setting of SSH or the Shell? | 05:52 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: with that said.. it is possible to compile and install the newer 2.6.28 kernel yourself in Intrepid and see what that does for you | 05:52 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: I understand. I'm just terribly confused by the fact that everything worked fine under hardy and went to the dogs after I upgraded to intrepid. same probs with both the open and closed nvidia drivers | 05:52 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | its happening to one of my machines too (i need to debug it though) | 05:52 |
| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: Should be SSH, hold on. Using OpenSSH/ | 05:52 |

| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/02/03/keeping-ssh-sessions-alive/, let me find a more relevant link | 05:53 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: ok, upon hearing that you upgraded, my thought would be that you could try a fresh clean install with no 'major upgrade' involved and see what does for you. that could be the problem right there | 05:54 |
| eseven73 | if i have like Vbox started, can i restart X and have vbox still active and i can come back to it ? | 05:54 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | !<factoid> | 05:54 |
| eseven73 | Not sure that was worded well, but meh :/ | 05:54 |
| UndergroundZer0 | one more thinng guys | 05:54 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: if that was true, would you say that things should function correctly running from the live cd? | 05:54 |
| UndergroundZer0 | Is it possible to load IRC Shell on Ubuntu | 05:55 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | Yes | 05:55 |
| aganthorp | anyone running ubuntu on a macbook pro 5,1? I have a couple questions | 05:55 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | i am | 05:55 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | its the one im using right now | 05:55 |
| zeno | Is there any way to automatically check if any packages you have installed do not have a 64 bit version? | 05:55 |
| aganthorp | how did you get your sound to work? | 05:55 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: that what i do. if i ever o a major upgrade and and it's all fine after the upgrade, then ok. but if there's any hint of an unsolvable issue, then i do a fresh clean install | 05:55 |
| UndergroundZer0 | Is it possible to load IRC Shell on Ubuntu guys | 05:55 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: yes.. you have the same problem on the LiveCD? | 05:56 |
| mindrape | UndergroundZer0: what do you mean irc shell? like an eggdrop? | 05:56 |
| UndergroundZer0 | yes | 05:56 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: yes. same problem from the live cd | 05:56 |
| UndergroundZer0 | Where you can run IRCD server and Eggdrop | 05:56 |
| mindrape | yeah, install eggdrop like any other program and use it... | 05:56 |

| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: Here you go... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631302 | 05:56 |
| eseven73 | UndergroundZer0: easily | 05:56 |
| eseven73 | ive done it | 05:56 |
| mindrape | UndergroundZer0: sudo apt-get install eggdrop | 05:56 |
| UndergroundZer0 | okai | 05:57 |
| eseven73 | unrealircd is in the repos too | 05:57 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: hmmm i see. well then.you could be right about something in Intrepid not liking your system | 05:57 |
| huwenfeng | WebcamWonder: OK, let me see it | 05:57 |
| haggus99 | powertool08 yesit gives me this error alsactl: relocation error: alsactl: symbol snd_tlv_parse_dB_info, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference | 05:57 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: my assumption is that xorg is the culprit, but I was reading on /. about some graphics performance stuff in the new kernel and I thought "ah hah -- maybe it's a kernel thing and the xorg issue is just fallout" | 05:57 |
| eseven73 | UndergroundZer0: theres a few ircd's in the repos | 05:57 |
| WebcamWonder | zeno: Most applications that are officially supported are available on all the platforms, unless otherwise restricted from obvious reasons | 05:57 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: could be. as i said, you could compile a custom 2.6.28 kenel and see what that does for you. i've done it. i can boot into 2.6.28 right now if i want to. but i like my fglrx drivers, and they don't have a version that works with 2.6.28 yet | 05:58 |
| zeno | WebcamWonder: i am using restricted drivers for nvidia and broadcom, also skype. you know off top of head if they are 64? | 05:59 |
| johnnbstroud | back | 05:59 |
| WebcamWonder | zeno: I am on 64. All that you listed are available as far as I can see. Although in my defence, I am on hardy, and not intrepid | 06:00 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: got any idea how far away we are from the new kernel hitting the repos? | 06:00 |
| huwenfeng | WebcamWonder: Oh, is there a possibility that it is the gateway that decide to close the connection? | 06:00 |
| sloopy | !grub | 06:01 |
| 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 | 06:01 |
| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: I doubt that... unless the gateway is misconfigured... idle connections still transmit a certain amount of packets | 06:01 |
| huwenfeng | WebcamWonder: i am inside a big Intranet, and i ssh to the outside server. | 06:01 |
| powertool08 | haggus99: could you perhaps have two versions as the person in this post? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/278615 you can find the executables with "whereis alsactl" | 06:01 |
| sloopy | ubottu, thank you | 06:01 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 06:01 |
| WebcamWonder | zeno: But the version of the OS shouldn't be a problem. Those are officially supported packages/applications | 06:01 |

| johnnbstroud | how do you edit the menu.lst file in grub to show text with the splash screen ? | 06:01 |
| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: I doubt that. It is more likely that the idle setting is kicking in | 06:02 |
| adityahaha | fuckin shit | 06:02 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | i have a laptop and ubuntu 8.10 can't configure an atheros wifi card. what should i do? | 06:02 |
| huwenfeng | WebcamWonder: then must be the SSH Server, i ssh to my VM machine, the connection lasts for a very long time. | 06:02 |
| WebcamWonder | !language | adityahaha | 06:02 |
| ubottu | adityahaha: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:02 |
| mindrape | !vulgar | 06:02 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: no idea. i really don't really even know if they'll make 2.6.28 for intrepid. if they do, i can only guess that it would be a few months from now, pure guess | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vulgar | 06:02 |
| adityahaha | pardon | 06:02 |
| adityahaha | this is ma first time | 06:02 |
| akahige1 | onetinsoldier: cool. thanks for the advice | 06:02 |
| huwenfeng | WebcamWonder: Yes, maybe, can i config the ssh-client to send messages even if the connection is idle? | 06:02 |
| deniz_ | is there a software alternative to totem for playing DVDs in repositories? | 06:03 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: hi. do you think they'll ever upgrade to kernel 2.6.28 for intrepid? if they might do something like that, how far into the future do you think it might be? just a total guess | 06:03 |
| sloopy | onetinsoldier, morning... gonna be around a while? | 06:03 |
| nickrud | deniz_, vlc is popular | 06:03 |
| scunizi | deniz_, also mplayer | 06:03 |
| WebcamWonder | huwenfeng: As long as you properly configure the server/client to not timeout, you should be fine. But I suppose your method could be done as well | 06:03 |
| onetinsoldier | akahige1: ok, you're welcome and good luck | 06:03 |
| nickrud | onetinsoldier, very unlikely. they may chose to backport bits of it, but change kernels? Not likely at all | 06:04 |
| deniz_ | r | 06:04 |
| michaelwoo | 06:04 | |
| deniz_ | oops | 06:04 |
| onetinsoldier | sloopy: no, not really. getting to be bedtime here really | 06:04 |
| onetinsoldier | nickrud: ok, that's pretty much what i figured. thanks | 06:05 |
| sloopy | onetinsoldier, ok i will show you in the morning... | 06:05 |
| k0tar3l | Is there a way to mass install every package possible in synaptic package manager? | 06:05 |
| sheena1 | hello? total newbie to the IRC thing.. | 06:05 |
| onetinsoldier | sloopy: ok, sounds good :-) | 06:05 |
| onetinsoldier | and with that, i'm out. take care all | 06:05 |
| nickrud | k0tar3l, no, in fact many packages conflict with one another, and can't be installed at the same time. | 06:05 |
| sloopy | k0tar3l, this isnt a good idea, especially considering alot of packages conflict with each other | 06:06 |
| johnnbstroud | hello peoples :^D | 06:06 |
| k0tar3l | is there a way to ignore conflicting packages? | 06:06 |
| Jim_Raynor | hi | 06:06 |
| sheena1 | im having sound issues. my speakers/sound works fine for youtube videos, and for both dvds and avi files, but will not play mp3 or m4a files (haven't got any other formats to try) using any player, including VLC (which plays everything else..) | 06:06 |
| sloopy | k0tar3l, deleting /usr/bin would be an easier way to hose your system... | 06:06 |
| Jim_Raynor | is there a way to recover a directory deleted using rm -R ? | 06:07 |
| scunizi | !mp3 | sheena1 | 06:07 |
| ubottu | sheena1: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 06:07 |
| sloopy | !undelete | Jim_Raynor | 06:07 |
| ubottu | Jim_Raynor: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 06:07 |
| mindrape | Jim_Raynor - not easily... but yes. It is possible. | 06:07 |
| nickrud | sloopy, I'm quoting that one to :) | 06:07 |
| nickrud | *too | 06:07 |
| sloopy | nickrud, quoting what? | 06:07 |
| nickrud | about deleting /usr/bin a simpler system destroyer | 06:08 |
| sloopy | nickrud, sure, i have seen many ways people can wreak havoc on a computer... that was just first in mind when i needed one... | 06:08 |
| soreau | ! audio | 06:10 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:10 |
| sheena1 | so even if the computer won;t play the files, if i convert them to this OGG thing, then they'll play fine? | 06:11 |
| johnnbstroud | sheena1 use and/or install mencoder or something | 06:11 |
| sheena1 | I already have the restricted formats thing. | 06:11 |
| sheena1 | what is mencoder? | 06:12 |
| johnnbstroud | sudo apt-get install mencode | 06:12 |
| sheena1 | it is a file converter? | 06:12 |
| johnnbstroud | it's a multi format encoder audio and video for ubunut | 06:12 |
| johnnbstroud | hum. | 06:13 |
| johnnbstroud | :| | 06:13 |
| haggus99 | powertool08: I tried that renamed the file tried to save again still getting the same error | 06:13 |
| sheena1 | i have Sound Converter. Will it do what i need to do? | 06:13 |
| aoeuid | I just installed intrepid onto an a acer netbook and there is no sound at all on skype, has anyone had a problem like this? | 06:14 |
| powertool08 | haggus99: hmm, well I'm out of ideas, maybe if repeat your problem somebody else will know. Good luck | 06:14 |
| sfer23 | sheena1: what are you trying to do? convert sound? soundconverter does just that. | 06:14 |
| sfer23 | sheena1: although, soundkonverter has more choices | 06:15 |
| Jim_Raynor | damn... so, it's pretty much impossible? | 06:15 |
| sheena1 | tada!!!! it works!!! | 06:15 |
| haggus99 | powertool08: ok thx | 06:15 |
| sheena1 | you guys are awsome!!! | 06:15 |
| sheena1 | totally cool | 06:15 |
| bullgard4 | What is the function of the file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config? | 06:15 |
| mindrape | aoeuid: you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype to see if some of their Troubleshooting Skype section helps | 06:15 |
| sheena1 | i have been trying to get a solution to this for weeks. Jeez. Thank you so much, everyone who contributed.. i got another one :) | 06:15 |
| deniz_ | nickrud, scunizi, thx | 06:15 |
| sloopy | bullgard4, it is the config when that kernel was compiled | 06:16 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, it's the config file that is used for compiling the kernel. Copying over the config-* to that .config is the first step in modifying the kernel parameters for your custom kernel | 06:16 |
| sheena1 | Is there a way to increase the volume? I'm not sure that my physical speakers are the limitation. When I have the software volume on high, and turn the computer volume as high as it goes, most things are still rather quiet. I suppose its possible my speakers just suck, but I thought maybe there's a setting somewhere that changes this? | 06:16 |
| bullgard4 | sloopy: Can you explain to me what do you mean by 'config'? | 06:17 |
| mindrape | sheena1: sudo alsamixer from a terminal | 06:17 |
| mindrape | sheena1 you can push all levels to the max there... | 06:17 |
| sloopy | bullgard4, when a kernel is compiled there are options for drivers/kernel options that need to be configured when the kernel is compiled, that file is the config for it, incase you need it for rolling your ownkernel | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Thank you very much for explaining. | 06:19 |
| sheena1 | awsome. is there one of those for my webcam settings? | 06:19 |
| huwenfeng | mindrape: is there a possibility that i send the music of left to both the left and right channel? | 06:19 |
| mindrape | huwenfeng: never tried that... dunno. | 06:20 |
| huwenfeng | mindrape: my right earphone is broken. | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | sloopy: Thank you very much for explaing. | 06:21 |
| bullgard4 | explaining | 06:21 |
| sloopy | bullgard4, np | 06:21 |
| sheena1 | Is there a similar set of options (like alsamixer) that allows me to control the settings of my webcam? | 06:22 |
| mindrape | never had a webcam... dunno. :( | 06:22 |
| sheena1 | thanks mindrape. maybe google knows :) | 06:23 |
| mindrape | sheena1 - maybe sudo apt-get install camorama? | 06:23 |
| johnnbstroud | .o0(thinking about stuff) | 06:24 |
| linxer | Hi all.. | 06:24 |

| johnnbstroud | linpus linxer | 06:24 |
| johnnbstroud | linpus | 06:24 |
| sheena1 | i have camorama. but when i try to use Cheese to record from webcam, it doesn't have any settings. i'll play with it. thanks so much, everyone for all your help. I will never go back to windows, and it's nice to know I have somewhere to figure out the bugs :) | 06:25 |
| screamsayonara | what do i need to do to amarok to make it able to import the files from my ipod into my.. uh.. "collection".. it seems to be extracting them, and then says "couldnt organise ...files" | 06:25 |
| linxer | johnnbstroud: i will check it out thanks | 06:25 |
| sheena1 | thanks everyone. good night/morning! | 06:26 |
| mindrape | screamsayonara: what filetype? mp3 or jpg? | 06:26 |
| screamsayonara | mp3s | 06:26 |
| mindrape | screamsayonara: you can locate *.mp3 | 06:26 |
| screamsayonara | whatever do you mean | 06:26 |
| screamsayonara | i can see and play the files off my ipod | 06:26 |
| mindrape | it's a command. pull up a terminal and type locate *.mp3 to see where they exist on your local filesystem if you dont know where they copied to. | 06:26 |
| screamsayonara | but i cant get em onto my harddrive, and i know it can be done cause i did it on my last ubuntu | 06:27 |
| screamsayonara | ok | 06:27 |
| screamsayonara | was i supposed to substitute something for the *? | 06:27 |
| mindrape | you may need to sudo updatedb if they were just recently copied as the "location" database won't have entries for 'em. | 06:27 |
| mindrape | nope... * is a wildcard... although you may need to *.MP3 as it may be case sensitive. | 06:27 |
| lanoxx | i just upgraded to the latest kubuntu 8.10 and kde 4.2 beta 2, most of my gtk apps look very strange now. firefox even lacks a lot of icons in the toolbar and the webdeveloper bar is broken | 06:28 |
| mindrape | lanoxx - may wanna ask in #kubuntu. | 06:28 |
| screamsayonara | no they havent copied to my harddrive | 06:29 |
| huwenfeng | Read from remote host xxxxxxxxxx: Connection reset by peer | 06:29 |
| huwenfeng | Connection to xxxxxxxx closed. | 06:29 |
| mindrape | screamsayonara: well if you use a tool like gtkpod I believe you can right click and save them locally. | 06:29 |
| mindrape | dont recall the exact context menu name but it is something like export. | 06:29 |
| huwenfeng | this is exactly what i got, when the connection closed! | 06:29 |
| huwenfeng | anyone knows how to solve this problem? | 06:30 |
| error404notfound | anyone who could tell me how can I use tcpwrappers on ubuntu in combincation with denyhosts? | 06:30 |
| mindrape | huwenfeng: what were you trying to do? Your IRC client said that? | 06:30 |
| huwenfeng | no, my ssh connection said that | 06:30 |
| mindrape | error404notfound: http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/2000-04-08.01.html | 06:31 |
| mindrape | its ancient but should still be relevant. | 06:31 |

| goodday324324 | hello i just installed ubuntu first time i use linux, is it normal it takes more than 5 min to boot up on my acer aspire laptop ? | 06:31 |
| new | hjy | 06:31 |
| huwenfeng | goodday324324: no, | 06:31 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: should be a tad quicker than that I would think... maybe 2 mins? | 06:31 |
| powertool08 | huwenfeng: I'd enable verbose debugging "-vvv" and maybe have it write to a logfile? It could give more clues as to what happens before the connection drops | 06:31 |
| huwenfeng | goodday324324: you must have some problem | 06:32 |
| goodday324324 | it is very very slow starting up but once its started it runs fine | 06:32 |
| goodday324324 | any ideas how to speed it up | 06:32 |
| huwenfeng | powertool08: Oh, you mean i should start the ssh connection like this: "ssh -p port -vvvv ip_addr" | 06:32 |
| jean_grey | hello | 06:33 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: I'd check /var/log/messages to see if there are any obvious issues in there and dmesg finally cat /var/log/boot | 06:33 |
| jean_grey | I need some help here.. | 06:33 |
| powertool08 | huwenfeng: yes but I think you can only have up to 3 v's | 06:33 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: there is also a tool called bootchart you can install which graphs the time to boot and bottlenecks... | 06:33 |
| jean_grey | who can help me!!!! | 06:33 |
| jars | hi all | 06:33 |
| william56 | anyone know a way to boost sound above the maximum of the volume control and alsamixer? | 06:33 |
| mindrape | !ask | jean_grey | 06:33 |
| ubottu | jean_grey: 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. :-) | 06:33 |
| goodday324324 | i also have another problem which issort ofconnected, if i insert anything in the usb, mouse , thumbdrive, etc it is not recognised by ubuntu, unless i restart with them connected | 06:33 |
| goodday324324 | very frustrating using the thumbdrive with these long boot times ! | 06:34 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: well you can manually mount them... we can get to that in a bit. | 06:34 |
| goodday324324 | ok | 06:34 |
| goodday324324 | so how do i find this log | 06:34 |
| powertool08 | goodday324324: if you hit ctrl-alt-f1 during the boot splash it will switch back to showing you each step, just look for anything that stays for awhile before moving on | 06:34 |
| mindrape | check those logs I mentioned earlier... | 06:34 |
| mindrape | pull up a terminal | 06:34 |
| goodday324324 | ok | 06:34 |
| Jim_Raynor | damn... they're gone | 06:34 |
| mindrape | type sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 06:34 |
| mindrape | then type cat /var/log/messages | pastebinit | 06:35 |
| mindrape | it will give you a URL... paste it in here. | 06:35 |
| mindrape | then do dmesg | pastebinit and give us the URL and finally cat /var/log/boot | pastebinit | 06:35 |
| GreedyB | Whats the best way to backup Ubuntu? | 06:36 |

| vavoysh | hi there. how can i access a vista partition so that i may backup files from either an ubuntu partition ont he machine or through a live CD? | 06:36 |
| mindrape | !mount | 06:37 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 06:37 |
| WebcamWonder | !gparted | vavoysh | 06:37 |
| ubottu | vavoysh: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 06:37 |
| vavoysh | thanks | 06:37 |
| gmathews | Hi, what application can I use to manage events/birhdays (like a diary with a reminder etc) | 06:37 |
| vavoysh | will that help me access the vista partition so that i may back up those files? | 06:37 |
| mindrape | vavoysh: I'd recommend using mount... | 06:38 |
| mindrape | vavoysh - you can find the partition by doing sudo fdisk -l | 06:38 |
| vavoysh | m'kay | 06:38 |
| vavoysh | thanks | 06:38 |
| WebcamWonder | vavoysh: Sorry. I thought you said "resize a vista partition". Use mount mindrape is correct | 06:38 |
| vavoysh | ok | 06:38 |
| mindrape | vavoysh - then you can cd /mnt mkdir VISTA sudo mount /dev/VISTAPARTITION /mnt/VISTA | 06:38 |
| sloopy | gmathews, evolution is a email/calender app | 06:38 |
| mindrape | vavoysh: you'll likely need to throw in -t ntfs to let it know its NTFS... | 06:38 |
| mindrape | but usually mount is pretty intelligent. | 06:38 |
| vavoysh | allright | 06:39 |
| sloopy | !iso | 06:39 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 06:39 |

| goodday324324 | oh | 06:41 |
| WebcamWonder | gmathews: sunbird, it should be in the repos | 06:41 |

| WebcamWonder | LancerNZ: You are really having a bad day aren't you? | 06:43 |
| LancerNZ | yeah | 06:43 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: you have probably close to 80 entries for just that one module... | 06:43 |
| goodday324324 | ok so should i use vim or gedit | 06:43 |
| powertool08 | whoever mentioned bootchart earlier, where does it install too? "bootchart" in terminal doesn't work | 06:43 |
| WebcamWonder | goodday324324: use gedit... | 06:43 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: use whatever you want... gedit is going to be easiest for you. | 06:43 |
| powertool08 | goodday324324: probably gedit | 06:43 |
| goodday324324 | maybe its related to the problem i hadinstalling ubuntu it would halt at 90% concerning usb-storage module | 06:43 |
| LancerNZ | Okay - what's passwd as far as Nickserv is concerned? | 06:44 |
| mindrape | goodday324324: yup... maybe you had a USB device plugged in during installation and it kept an entry for it. For whatever reason it always looks for it now and you may not have it plugged in. | 06:44 |

| dustin_ | Hi all. I have a newbi problem. I just installed 8.10 and am having trouble configuring the monitor. It started up with an "unknown" monitor setting running at very low resolution (600x800 ?). I then prompted me to install the "unsupported" drivers for my NVIDIA graphics card. After the reboot the resolution is set to 640x480. Can anyone give me advice on how to configure this or where to... | 06:51 |
| dustin_ | ...find documentation on how to set it up? | 06:51 |
| goodday324324 | tank u have a nice day ! | 06:52 |

| venger | mindrape, right now i go straight to https://server:631 and when i go to print test page it pops up an authentication dialog which keeps repopping like its not accepting credentials eventually i get 401 not authorized | 06:53 |

| abhi1 | how to delete a directory?using -r makes so slow.......... | 06:54 |
| eeboy_ | earthling: That's not present either.... | 06:54 |
| eeboy_ | earthling: Shouldn't there be a default install? | 06:54 |
| WebcamWonder | eeboy_: I have no clue... I am not an expert here | 06:54 |
| rccu | abhi1: rmdir if it's empty; `rm -r` otherwise | 06:54 |
| mindrape | venger - can you go into CUPS from the localhost that it runs on? localhost:631 then look in the Administration tab under the Access Log on the right side? | 06:55 |
| earthling | eeboy_ : what do you want to do exactly? | 06:55 |
| bastid_raZor | abhi1; rm -Rf will not prompt you.. | 06:55 |
| mindrape | also check the Error log venger... | 06:55 |
| eeboy_ | earthling: I am trying to share a scanner... | 06:55 |
| abhi1 | ya some contents are thr in directory,it just warns me of data? | 06:55 |

| venger | mindrape, those would just be /var/log/cups/[access_log&error_log] right? | 06:56 |
| venger | mindrape, headless ubuntu server | 06:57 |
| mindrape | venger - I believe so... but if you go into that panel on the localhost I believe the Admin tab will allow you to edit perms. You can always just edit the files manually too | 06:57 |
| earthling | eeboy_ : do you have xinetd.d in /etc? | 06:57 |
| mindrape | venger - can you ssh to it then lynx localhost:631 | 06:57 |
| mindrape | or links if you prefer? | 06:57 |
| abhi1 | < bastid_raZor>gud thr was some data,so ur cmd worked,thanx..... | 06:57 |
| bastid_raZor | abhi1; be very careful with that command. it is potentially dangerous. | 06:58 |
| eeboy_ | earthling: Yes, I do and I have it configured. However, according to everything I read I am to add a line to inetd.conf... then restart. Well... inetd.conf exists but I can't find inetd. | 06:58 |
| SunJay | i just installed 8.10 on my toshiba satellite a205 and i accidently left the wifi card off during the install and now when i turn it on it doesn't even show up when i run ifconfig | 06:58 |
| mindrape | venger - I believe you need to edit your cupsd.conf in /etc but not 100% sure what to change. You either need to add the user you are authenticating to a group or change some other perms to make them less restrictive. man cupsd.conf will be your best bet. | 06:58 |
| mindrape | SunJay - does it show up in sudo lshw -C network | 06:59 |
| abhi1 | < bastid_raZor>no i was reinstalling mplayer,was kinda removing junk files,thanx 4r info........ | 06:59 |
| mindrape | SunJay or in lspci or dmesg for that matter? | 06:59 |
| venger | mindrape, ok i had assumed it would just use pam | 06:59 |
| earthling | eeboy_ : you must make change in xinetd.conf .. | 06:59 |
| mindrape | venger - you need to configure it to use that... did you edit the default config? | 06:59 |
| gvsa123 | what's the command again if i downloaded a targz to install? | 06:59 |

| mindrape | tar -zxvf thefile.tar.gz to extract it. | 07:00 |
| earthling | eeboy_ : its in /etc | 07:00 |
| venger | mindrape, sure a plenty but it has auth type of basic | 07:00 |
| mindrape | then once extracted you likely need to ./configure then make then make install | 07:00 |
| SunJay | mindrape - yes it does show up | 07:00 |
| mindrape | SunJay - sudo iwconfig doesn't list it? | 07:00 |
| mindrape | SunJay - what does lspci list? Can you paste JUST the single line related to the card in here? | 07:00 |

| SunJay | i think this is it "05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)" | 07:03 |
| mindrape | then it will show you all the data on what is wrong. | 07:03 |

| Cooldogs_1_ | silly me | 07:03 |
| Cooldogs_1_ | lol | 07:03 |
| mindrape | SunJay, ^arky^ - let me google your cards to see if a valid driver exists for Linux... if not you can use a Windows driver using ndiswrapper (ndisgtk is easy to config it) | 07:04 |

| mindrape | ^arky^: okay can you run nm-tool | 07:07 |
| mindrape | SunJay can you lsmod | grep "iwl3945" and see if that is loaded ? | 07:07 |
| ^arky^ | yes, nm-tool only shows eth0 | 07:07 |
| mindrape | ^arky^: and is eth0 listed as having a wireless interface in iwconfig? | 07:08 |
| ^arky^ | eth0 no wireless extensions | 07:08 |

| lintunen | I have already read the documentation on pinning and as I mentioned above I have already tried 'locking' in Synaptic. I am out of ideas because it still gets overridden. | 07:17 |
| samthetwohippman | Nerdy: I think you need the edubuntu repositories | 07:17 |
| aoeuid | I've got an acer aspire one netbook and my internal mic works, but when I plug in an external one it isn't detected | 07:17 |
| ardchoille | nerdyperdy: it might help if you specify what you need to OS to do | 07:17 |
| aoeuid | has anyone had something similar happen? | 07:17 |
| nerdyperdy | what p2p client can i use...i currently have vuze...and what file extension are supported | 07:17 |
| ardchoille | !p2p | 07:18 |

| nonix4 | if multiple available apt repositories have the same pkg(s), which source will apt use? | 07:18 |

| gvsa123 | ardchoille: only thing i didn't find in ubuntu coming from xp is webcam and pc to pc call support for yahoo messenger :) | 07:19 |
| nerdyperdy | what comes with the dld...im sorry for all the questions.just wanting to make sure b4 i switch from xp | 07:19 |
| ardchoille | gvsa123: Ah, good point, I haven't ever used that stuff so I don't know | 07:19 |
| jtaji | lintunen: I would probably try it the first way described on that page, rather than through synaptic if synaptic isn't doing it for you | 07:19 |
| jtaji | nerdyperdy: just download the cd and run it, it is a livecd and will run the default system without installing anything | 07:20 |
| samthetwohippman | you will probably need medubuntu repositories to watch movies | 07:20 |
| nerdyperdy | so anything that linux supports...unbutu supports??? | 07:20 |
| samthetwohippman | edubuntu was a mistype | 07:20 |
| lintunen | jtaji: thanks, I'll give it a go | 07:20 |
| jtaji | nerdyperdy: but what comes with the download is rather besides the point, the system makes it simple to install new apps and there are thousands available | 07:20 |
| nerdyperdy | the cd dld is at 95% | 07:20 |
| ardchoille | nerdyperdy: Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux - one of many | 07:20 |
| mindrape | nerdyperdy: by default you get some basic tools like OpenOffice (equiv of MSOffice)... any tools you want in addition you can install via System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager... you just click on the program you want and choose Apply and it gets installed to your Applications menu | 07:20 |

| mindrape | Alex_21 - www.findmyip.com if you just want it real fast. | 07:21 |
| mindrape | !language | nerdyperdy | 07:21 |
| ubottu | nerdyperdy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:21 |
| samthetwohippman | use ddclient | 07:21 |
| Awsoonn | I just swaped out a nic and I have no network, how can I make it recognize my new interfaces? | 07:21 |
| samthetwohippman | yes you can configure ddclient to do that | 07:22 |
| nerdyperdy | and whats up with router support???? | 07:22 |
| nerdyperdy | i have a wireless router...will it still work??? | 07:22 |
| mindrape | Awsoonn: hal should detect them automatically... if it doesn't then you can lspci to figure out what they are then google for the driver and modprobe drivername to get them working | 07:22 |
| Alex_21 | Ok, how. I need to fix it before my account is deleted, and I have DDClient installed | 07:22 |
| mindrape | nerdyperdy: wireless support is kinda iffy... lots of people come here to get their wireless cards working. In general you can get it working 95% of the time with limited tweaking. | 07:23 |
| Awsoonn | mindrape: detects them fine under lspci, and I have the same modle nic workgin in other systems | 07:23 |
| ardchoille | !wireless | nerdyperdy | 07:23 |
| ubottu | nerdyperdy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:23 |
| jtaji | nerdyperdy: again, the livecd will tell you if wireless works out of the box, but if it doesn't it still might be able to be made to work | 07:23 |
| samthetwohippman | Nerdy, you can only do so much with the live cd. you can install whatever you want with the live cd, as long as you have the ram. As soon as you turn off the computer it will all be gone. to really see what can be done with ubuntu, you need to install it | 07:24 |
| Awsoonn | mindrape: I am under the impression this is a udev rule issue because they have new mac addressses, but don't know enough to fix it. | 07:24 |
| mindrape | Awsoonn: if its working on other boxen then lsmod to find out what module they're using then modprobe thatdriver on the one w the issue | 07:24 |
| phix | nerdyperdy: lol | 07:24 |
| Alex_21 | Ok, how do I configure DDClient? Please. I need to fix it before my account is deleted, and I have DDClient installed | 07:24 |
| samthetwohippman | linux is way better than windows. you can get any program for free. you can do anything | 07:24 |
| phix | What's the Ubuntu command to disable network manager? | 07:24 |
| sfer23 | nerdyperdy: Compatibility is not determined by the wireless router, but rather, by the wireless card in your computer. | 07:24 |
| phix | samthetwohippman: windows has its place. | 07:24 |
| mindrape | phix - ps aux | grep "nm" kill off the pids I guess? or grep for "network" ? | 07:25 |
| phix | mindrape: where is it started? boot up scripts? gdm? gnome? | 07:25 |
| omfgItsAShark | whats a good program to mount the ubuntu iso? | 07:25 |
| phix | omfgItsAShark: mount | 07:25 |
| mindrape | !iso | 07:25 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:25 |
| nerdyperdy | maybe i should stick to xp... | 07:26 |
| mindrape | phix - not 100% sure... :( | 07:26 |
| samthetwohippman | Alex_21: google it. that's how I did it. it was not easy, but if you go to the dydns information knowledgebase, its all there. it's hard to find, and it took me a while, but it's there | 07:26 |
| phix | nerdyperdy: perhap | 07:26 |
| mindrape | nerdyperdy: maybe so. Linux isn't for everybody. Get the LiveCD, check it out... | 07:26 |
| nerdyperdy | its done downloading | 07:26 |
| CapaH | I am looking for a simple way to convert a PDF to HTML, and vice versa - using command line tools. Can anyone suggest to me the best way to do this? | 07:26 |
| omfgItsAShark | well i am on windows and i need to put the ubuntu iso onto a disk to install onto my laptop | 07:26 |
| nerdyperdy | what exactly is the livecd | 07:26 |
| phix | CapaH: pdf2<TAB> | 07:27 |
| Awsoonn | mindrape: I have the modual loaded but nothign is using it. | 07:27 |
| phix | CapaH: press the TAB button twice | 07:27 |
| samthetwohippman | phix: yeah windows has its place, especially in the workstation world, but I just think linux is better | 07:27 |
| sfer23 | nerdyperdy: It allows you to test Ubuntu without having to install it on your computer, although it's somewhat limited in what you can do from a live cd. | 07:27 |
| mindrape | Awsoonn: sudo iwconfig any wireless interfaces? | 07:27 |
| CapaH | dsc or ps .. | 07:27 |
| omfgItsAShark | any help at all? | 07:27 |
| ardchoille | nerdyperdy: It provides Ubuntu in a "live" environment which runs from cdrom and ram to allow you to use the Ubuntu system without installing it to the hard drive | 07:27 |
| unop | CapaH, poppler-utils: /usr/bin/pdftohtml | 07:27 |
| mindrape | or is this a standard nic? sudo ifconfig? maybe you need to sudo /etc/init.d/network restart ? | 07:27 |
| ardchoille | nerdyperdy: I take the livecd everywhere I go so I can use Ubuntu anywhere | 07:27 |
| nerdyperdy | i mean...i downloaded 8.10 from unbutu.com...or .org...is that the live cd??? | 07:28 |
| ardchoille | yes | 07:28 |
| nerdyperdy | i want xp to go away | 07:28 |
| Awsoonn | mindrape: blimey! there is an eth4 and 5 listed there... silly kernel. :) | 07:28 |
| CapaH | I tried pdftohtml but 'zoom' seems to not work, and the pdf I am trying to convert ends up being very small - with no way to zoom past 1.0 | 07:28 |
| jtaji | omfgItsAShark: any cd recording software will allow you to burn an iso image to disk | 07:28 |
| sfer23 | nerdyperdy: it contains the live cd and can be installed. | 07:28 |
| nerdyperdy | ok | 07:28 |
| Alex_21 | Help, how to I set ddclient to find the address from my isp if I am behind a router? | 07:28 |
| gvsa123 | how do i import my thunderbird from windows xp to ubuntu via wubi? mail and everything | 07:28 |
| mindrape | Alex_21 - in a terminal type man ddclient | 07:28 |
| nerdyperdy | im going to install it...i'll be on tomorrow...thanks | 07:28 |
| ardchoille | nerdyperdy: one point, tho, burn it as an image, don't burn the iso file itself to cd. most burners have an option to "burn an image" | 07:29 |
| mindrape | too late ardchoille lol | 07:29 |
| sfer23 | gvsa123: You can just back up your profile from Windows and bring it across to Ubuntu, I don't trust automated things | 07:29 |
| ardchoille | oh well, he'll get it I'm sure | 07:29 |
| mindrape | he'll be back tomorrow or later tonight to complain | 07:29 |
| unop | Alex_21, myip=$(wget -q -O - http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp); echo $myip | 07:30 |
| samthetwohippman | omfgItsAShark: you either need to burn an ISO with software that gives you that option, or if the software asks you if you want an exact copy, that will work | 07:30 |
| mindrape | ooh... spiffy idea unop. :) | 07:30 |
| * mindrape archives that away. | 07:30 | |
| gvsa123 | sfer23: i used mozbackup over at xp, but it seems that there is only a windows version for that.. can i simply import it from ubuntu without having to use any tool or something? | 07:30 |
| ardchoille | Ubuntu is just awesome. I entered the wrong video mode into grub (vga=791) and grub told me it was wrong and presented me with a list of other modes to use. This is new, it wasn't present in Dapper | 07:30 |
| sfer23 | gvsa123: You can simply put it in your ~/thunderbird/profiles folder | 07:31 |
| gvsa123 | sfer23: i see.. will give that a try | 07:31 |
| samthetwohippman | Alex_21: do a google search: configure ddclient I guarantee you, your answer will be there. It will require you do search through each link, and take some time to read them. Otherwise, you can just forget it. | 07:32 |
| sfer23 | gvsa123: Actually, it's ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, and then you can drag the folder of that profile into there. | 07:32 |
| bullgard4 | What do effect the lines CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y und CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y in/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config? | 07:32 |
| kindofabuzz | during boot, i get Activating swap [ok], but once booted, i have no swap. | 07:32 |
| sfer23 | gvsa123: If you're dual booting, you can just make that thunderbird profile folder a link to your windows install's profile folder. | 07:33 |
| gvsa123 | sfer23: i found the profile from windows... do i copy just the *****.default folder into ~/.mozilla-thunderbird? | 07:33 |
| mindrape | kindofabuzz: you sure? free -m | 07:33 |
| sfer23 | gvsa123: yes | 07:33 |
| kindofabuzz | mindrape, yup, i get 0 with free -m | 07:34 |
| kindofabuzz | mindrape, i can do the swapon /dev/sdb2 no problem, but how can i fix in fstab? maybe the UUID is wrong? | 07:34 |
| kindofabuzz | i don't know how it changed or whatever though | 07:35 |
| mindrape | possibly... blkid | 07:35 |
| kindofabuzz | mindrape, hmm the uuid is correct, it's just not mounting, well during boot it says it is | 07:36 |
| iluminator101 | Hey is there a way to add cleartype font to mozilla 3.0? Thanks in Advance | 07:36 |
| GodfatherofEire | Er, could somebody give me a little help with Installation here? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (again, for the 3rd time in 5 months, no idea how I screwed it up this time), but this time I'm trying to dual-boot the system with (goes and pukes) M$ Windows, with a ~40gig FAT32 partition for storage that both systems can access, any ideas on how I might manage this? | 07:36 |
| eseven73 | if i send a app to the background does that mean i can restart X and it still be there later? | 07:36 |
| ardchoille | eseven73: yes, but you might want to look into using screen | 07:37 |
| mindrape | kindofabuzz: try dmesg and var/log/messages to see if there are errors | 07:37 |
| eseven73 | ardchoille: yea that was my next question :) | 07:37 |
| ardchoille | eseven73: I use mutt, irssi, elinks, mc, bash, finch, and a few others in screen on tty1 | 07:38 |
| Purposeful1 | is this where i can ask a question about compiz? i'm on an eee 900 with ubuntu eee, and when i installed compiz and restarted, i got an error message saying that "your screen is not composited... please run compiz (-fusion) or another composite manager" | 07:38 |
| eseven73 | ardchoille: so in theory i could do 'screen VirtualBox &' or -d and restart X and VirtualBox would still be running? | 07:38 |
| ardchoille | eseven73: anything used in screen will run regardless of what you do to x | 07:38 |
| ardchoille | eseven73: my x was broke and I was like "pfft, I'll fix it later" | 07:38 |
| Alex_21 | Where do I put that line, in the IP cache? | 07:38 |
| Awsoonn | mindrape: FYI the fix was in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules where I simply had to delete teh extranius lines, reboot and have udev recreate them for me. simple as pie :) thanks | 07:38 |
| eseven73 | ok you sound like a minimalist like me, irssi, w3m, elinks FTW!!! :) | 07:39 |
| ardchoille | yes :) | 07:39 |
| eseven73 | icewm too :) | 07:39 |
| nonix4 | ardchoille: well, excluding restricted drives crashing the entire host w/ blob... | 07:39 |
| Alex_21 | Oh, ok, thanks | 07:39 |
| Alex_21 | Good night. Bani bash | 07:40 |
| eseven73 | ardchoille: sorry i got offtopic there, but thanks for the help :) | 07:40 |
| ardchoille | eseven73: you're welcome | 07:40 |
| samthetwohippman | Alex_21: read this page http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/using_ddclient_with_dyndns_services.html#config | 07:40 |
| GodfatherofEire | Er, could somebody give me a little help with Installation here?

| eseven73 | he left samthetwohippman | 07:40 |
| Purposeful1 | hmmm | 07:41 |
| unop | eseven73, there are better ways to have VB running unattended. | 07:41 |
| jason_ | i'm having an issue with my wifi in my toshiba satellite a205 and was refered to this "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578" however when searching my wireless card i stumbled across this ssaying i should already be supported "http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi" PS: my card is the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection | 07:42 |
| Purposeful1 | can anyone help me with this "screen not composited.. please run compiz (-fusion) or another composite manager" error? | 07:42 |
| eseven73 | unop: how so? screens pretty nice | 07:42 |
| Purposeful1 | i'm a complete noob at all this, and i'm desperately trying to learn my way around ubuntu, lol >.< | 07:42 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Also. any ideas as to why/how I've managed to bork my fs 3 times in 5 months | 07:44 |
| samthetwohippman | Purposefull: try typing the error message into google. it'll take some time and some reading, but you should find the answer | 07:44 |
| Biovore | you been using sudo :-P | 07:44 |
| Purposeful1 | sam: i did a couple times... the results are all in either a different language or they're running full desktops that have video card issues | 07:46 |
| kindofabuzz | mindrape, i don't really see anything abnormal | 07:46 |
| samthetwohippman | Purposefull: is compiz installed on your computer? | 07:46 |
| samthetwohippman | when you googled, did you also type in ubuntu forums? | 07:47 |
| samthetwohippman | or ubuntu geek? | 07:47 |
| Purposeful1 | yeah--that's where i found the results that i did find | 07:47 |
| Purposeful1 | in ubuntu forums | 07:47 |
| Purposeful1 | compiz is installed, yes | 07:47 |
| error404notfound | I am using squid server on Ubuntu hardy heron. When I set my firefox proxy to squid server, it works fine but when I enforce the use of proxy in shorewall, I get http://pastebin.com/m6a85bcbe | 07:47 |
| Purposeful1 | but it doesn't seem to run very well--not sure if it's a graphics problem or a compiz problem | 07:47 |
| samthetwohippman | \ | 07:48 |
| koshii | Hello, probably easy solution. How do I install Firefox i386 on x64 version of Hardy Heron 8.04 | 07:48 |
| koshii | question mark! | 07:48 |
| Biovore | koshii: need ia32-libs | 07:48 |
| kindofabuzz | mindrape, i think i may have found the problem, i had a space after UUID= i know how picky fstab is about spaces sometimes | 07:48 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Er, could somebody give me a little help with Installation here? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (again, for the 3rd time in 5 months, no idea how I screwed it up this time), but this time I'm trying to dual-boot the system with (goes and pukes) M$ Windows, with a ~40gig FAT32 partition for storage that both systems can access, any ideas on how I might manage this? | 07:49 |
| samthetwohippman | Purposefull: type compiz into a terminal, and what is the first thing it says: | 07:49 |
| Purposeful1 | checking for xgl: not present | 07:50 |
| koshii | Biovore, okay I have them | 07:50 |
| Biovore | GodfatherofEire1: I thought the installer came with a partion resizer.. The disc thing (gparted) is a little confussing. | 07:50 |
| koshii | I actually already had them :s | 07:50 |
| Biovore | koshii: so you want the 32bit firefox for what reason? | 07:50 |
| samthetwohippman | google xgl, or who knows what xgl is | 07:50 |
| ardchoille | Is there a command-line only app that's close to being equivalent to gkrellm? | 07:50 |
| koshii | so I can get adobe flash and java support | 07:50 |
| nonix4 | GodfatherofEire1: painfully... since different versions of m$ stuff have different ideas of which kinds of partitions to support and which not | 07:50 |
| samthetwohippman | it is obviously something to do with x windows | 07:50 |
| koshii | quickly | 07:51 |
| Biovore | koshii: there supported via some wrapper.. they should work on linux x64.. It does here.. | 07:51 |
| kindofabuzz | koshii, have you installed java and flash? | 07:51 |
| Biovore | koshii: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras.. | 07:51 |
| Biovore | should install them for you | 07:51 |
| n2diy | GodfatherofEire1, what problems are you having, sounds like a simple install? | 07:51 |
| samthetwohippman | this may be your problem. you may need an xgl | 07:51 |
| koshii | yes, but not everything works for flash | 07:51 |
| kindofabuzz | like? | 07:51 |
| Purposeful1 | Xgl is an X server architecture designed to take advantage of modern graphics cards via their OpenGL drivers, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. | 07:51 |
| koshii | http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml | 07:51 |
| nonix4 | Biovore: the partition resizer happily creates 4 primary partitions leaving unused disk space there and then misses the ability to convert them non-destructively to any other format... | 07:52 |
| Purposeful1 | hmm | 07:52 |
| koshii | does that work for any of you on x64 firefox? | 07:52 |
| monday | is it ok to just run 8.01?? | 07:52 |
| koshii | So how would I install firefox i386? :s | 07:52 |
| monday | ???? | 07:52 |
| jim_p | ardchoille, htop :| | 07:52 |
| samthetwohippman | so the architecture is what is built into your computer | 07:52 |
| samthetwohippman | how old is your computer | 07:53 |
| kindofabuzz | koshii, doesn't work for 32 bit, it's probably the sites fault | 07:53 |
| Purposeful1 | it's an eee 900 | 07:53 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| koshii | don't x64 processors support i386 though | 07:53 |
| unop | !chroot | koshii | 07:53 |
| ubottu | koshii: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 07:53 |
| samthetwohippman | oh...that's new enough for sure | 07:53 |
| Biovore | koshii: they do.. | 07:53 |
| Purposeful1 | yeah | 07:53 |
| monday | anyone????? is ubuntu 8.01 fully functional?? | 07:53 |
| koshii | so, why can't I just install the 32bit version of firefox | 07:53 |
| Biovore | I am still using 8.04.1 here.. | 07:54 |
| nonix4 | koshii: given the low quality of firefox plugins in general, running them in a virtual machine is what I do :) | 07:54 |
| monday | er yea,8.04 | 07:54 |
| samthetwohippman | google: error xgl: not present eee 900 ubuntu | 07:54 |
| monday | wine works for it ??? right?. | 07:54 |
| nonix4 | (esp. flash) | 07:54 |
| Biovore | monday: yup it should | 07:54 |
| monday | i typed three sets of codes in the terminal,. but wine didn't load, any help?? | 07:54 |
| Biovore | monday: 8.04.1 is a long term release.. will be supported for a few years while 8.10 will die in 6 months. | 07:54 |
| koshii | what's a good virtual machine? :s I don't think I've ever used one | 07:54 |
| jim_p | koshii, the thing in isketch does not appear for me either. its a .dcr file, no plugin available for linux i guess | 07:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | n2diy Heres the problem, windoze like to have the whole drive to itself, or at least one without any spaces, and when there are, the install fails | 07:55 |
| koshii | is it something like wine? | 07:55 |
| jim_p | koshii, virtualbox | 07:55 |
| koshii | okay thanks | 07:55 |
| koshii | is it difficult to setup? | 07:55 |
| Biovore | koshii: vmware is one.. cost money | 07:55 |
| unop | koshii, a virtual machine just for firefox would be overkill. | 07:55 |
| Biovore | server edition is free.. but confussing to use.. | 07:55 |
| n2diy | GodfatherofEire, fine business, install Win first, then Ubuntu. | 07:55 |
| koshii | gah | 07:55 |
| Biovore | you can run firefox in wine as well and just install the windows version.. | 07:55 |
| jim_p | koshii, no if you go step by stem and read settings and the like | 07:55 |
| bullgard4 | What do effect the lines CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y und CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y in/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config? | 07:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | n2diy, therein lies the problem, I'd have to allow win to use the whole HD, then I'd have to partition it manually, and then that'd reformat the ntfs partition | 07:57 |
| nonix4 | Biovore: well, kinda... that'd still lack the isolation advantages though. | 07:57 |
| Biovore | bullgard4: netlinked userpace based interface.. I don't think you need it.. but I am not %100 sure.. | 07:57 |
| Wicked | hmm whats up with the new xorg.conf? there barely anything in it | 07:57 |
| * nonix4 likes kvm, managed by virtual machine manager in hardy | 07:57 | |
| Biovore | Wicked: Its magic :-P | 07:57 |
| koshii | So, there's no other solution? Just virtualmachine, wine, or nothing? | 07:57 |
| Wicked | lol | 07:57 |
| jim_p | Biovore, 8.10 wont die in 6 months. every release has SECURITY updates for 1.5 years, while lts have for 3. every other update (eg for firefox) will either be backported or not installable at all | 07:58 |
| n2diy | GodfatherofEire, you don't have to reformat when you resize the partitions. | 07:58 |
| Wicked | well i need to tell xorg to load glx....where do that? | 07:58 |
| jason_ | i'm having an issue with my wifi in my toshiba satellite a205 and was refered to this "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578" however when searching my wireless card i stumbled across this ssaying i should already be supported "http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi" PS: my card is the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection | 07:58 |
| kalvin_ | can anyone tell me how i can use vmware that was installed with ubuntu? | 07:58 |
| GodfatherofEire | n2diy, I thought you did when dealing with ntfs? | 07:58 |
| samthetwohippman | Purposefull: which eeebuntu did you install? did you install NBR? | 07:58 |
| jim_p | Wicked, in xorg.conf | 07:58 |
| GodfatherofEire | Oh well, I'll be back later then I guess | 07:58 |
| Wicked | jim_p, but where? | 07:58 |
| Biovore | kalvin_: I think thats just a vmware player.. | 07:58 |
| Wicked | there is barely anything in it... | 07:58 |
| ardchoille | jim_p: ah, htop is nice, thank you | 07:58 |
| bullgard4 | Biovore: Thank you. I will ask again later because I would like to know that more precisely. | 07:58 |
| Wicked | and i cant run anything with opengl.... | 07:58 |
| samthetwohippman | if so, then you need to install the compiz libraries | 07:58 |
| Wicked | i get this: | 07:59 |
| Wicked | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 07:59 |
| Wicked | Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig | 07:59 |
| kalvin_ | says player and workstattions | 07:59 |

| GodfatherofEire | n2diy, thanks for pointing that out, I woulda been up all night cause I would've avoided the resizing bit | 07:59 |
| jim_p | ardchoille, well htop does not show bandwidth | 07:59 |
| n2diy | GodfatherofEire, well, I'm not sure, never did a dual boot system. But on my last install here, I had the option not to reformat my /home partition, ext3, which I did. | 07:59 |
| Wicked | yea... jim_p the new xorg.conf looks nothing like that.... | 07:59 |
| Wicked | but thanks | 07:59 |
| nonix4 | koshii: there is but I think the ia32-libs ff deb is outside ubuntu repos these days... or named something funny. Most likely because both culprits - flash & java - have 64-bit support, although not packaged in time for hardy | 07:59 |

| hugo33 | monday: If X is crashing, it might be a video driver (or video configuration) issue. If the Linux kernel is crashing (if the upgrade from within an 80x25 console is crashing) then it might be the network card driver. | 08:07 |
| MiladKhajavi | how can I download list of video with youtube-dl program?. how can I say to terminal that when the first command finished, now execute the second command and so on? | 08:08 |

| Alex_21 | Ok, you say this, but others say that it may causeed issues. Doesss Ebox need a bindd extention, or iis theeeeeeere a bind9 module built-in | 09:02 |
| ardchoille | damo22: xmms isn't any the repos for Interpid anymore | 09:02 |
| mindrape | damo22 - sudo apt-cache search xmms flac | 09:03 |
| n2diy | amerinese, what ever you installed without synaptic, re-install with synaptic. | 09:03 |
| mbdl | does anyone know how the macbook works? or has tried ubuntu on it | 09:03 |
| Alex_21 | I have it on My Macbook with Virtualbox and it works fine | 09:03 |
| damo22 | ardchoille: when i install the package manually with dpkg, i have to --force-depends, but then it breaks apt when i try to install something else, it asks to remove xmms-flac | 09:03 |
| amerinese | n2diy: but the reason i am manually configure make make install is bc the version available through synaptic is buggy | 09:03 |
| mindrape | sudo apt-get remove xmms-flac | 09:04 |
| savvas | mbdl: you can always try the ubuntu live cd with it, see if it works without even installing it on hard drive | 09:04 |
| mindrape | or just autoremove | 09:04 |
| damo22 | is there a way to force apt to accept the "broken" package... because it works | 09:04 |
| mindrape | --force | 09:04 |
| n2diy | amerinese, so your installing from source, and have dependency problems? | 09:04 |
| savvas | damo22: which package? third-party? | 09:04 |
| ardchoille | damo22: it's not a good idea to "force" anything unless you're pretty much of an expert, I've never seen any reason to force anything in Ubuntu, xmms is no longer in the repos and forcing it will likely break something | 09:04 |
| mbdl | it does im using ubuntu now... on it but my issue was when i did updates with the last version out 8.04 i did updates and the keyboard failed as did the mouse | 09:04 |
| damo22 | savvas: im using hardy, i want xmms-flac | 09:05 |
| apparle | ATI has given suppor t for ubuntu 8.10 in their latest dirver. So from where should we install repos or the driver | 09:05 |
| savvas | damo22: you might be missing some important packages that are required from that application, if you force it to be installed, you might face problems with other packages | 09:05 |
| damo22 | savvas: but when i force it, it works | 09:05 |
| amerinese | yeah it can't find scim, which it says it's looking for using pkg-config, but it's installed and it suggested setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH but i can't find what i'm supposed to set it to | 09:05 |
| mbdl | savvas: it does im using ubuntu now... on it but my issue was when i did updates with the last version out 8.04 i did updates and the keyboard failed as did the mouse, was wondering if that will happen again in 8.10 | 09:06 |
| amerinese | last msg at n2diy | 09:06 |
| savvas | damo22: do you mean xmms2-plugin-flac ? | 09:06 |
| damo22 | savvas: it wants xmms > some value, but i already compiled it from source.... so | 09:06 |
| damo22 | savvas: not xmms2, xmms | 09:06 |
| ardchoille | damo22: have you tried audacious? it's like xmms and it's in the repos | 09:07 |
| mbdl | savvas: iv looked on google and there is an issue i can tell but nothing iv looked up has answers if the new ubuntu will work | 09:07 |
| savvas | damo22: is there a specific reason you prefer the older xmms? | 09:07 |
| mbdl | it hast to do with the wrapper on the broadcom drivers | 09:07 |
| damo22 | savvas: never tried xmms2 | 09:07 |
| savvas | damo22: doesn't hurt to try it :) usually newer versions have better support over audio | 09:08 |
| Alex_21 | Good night. Bani bash | 09:08 |
| damo22 | savvas: i dont need a music daemon, just a simple player | 09:08 |
| ardchoille | damo22: have you tried audacious? it's like xmms and it's in the repos | 09:08 |
| damo22 | ardchoille: i'll give it a go | 09:09 |
| ardchoille | damo22: audacious can even use your xmms skins | 09:09 |
| mbdl | SAVVAS: well ill install the updates if they cause issues then ill haft to use a different linux build and see | 09:09 |
| damo22 | ardchoille: oh cool! i love my skin | 09:09 |
| savvas | mbdl: I have no idea, sorry, perhaps you should visit the ubuntuforums.org and ask for help from the macintosh users :) | 09:09 |
| mindrape | damo22: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html#contents That has all the info you want on running various versions of software, ignoring/forcing dependencies/conflicts/etc | 09:10 |

| hugo33 | Although I've installed PyQt via apt-get, I can't "import qt" under Python 2.5; perhaps I've missed a dependency. I can import PyQt4 just fine but not qt itself. So, QDialog is unavailable, for instance. Google reveals no common "import qt" problems, which suggests either most people install qt+pyqt from source or that I'm doing something uncommonly wrong.

| gvsa123 | how can i share my thunderbird profile between my xp and ubuntu (wubi). i was advised to copy the profile folder from xp to the directory in ubuntu, but some things got messed up... the emails and contacts were there... but add ons like lightning doesn't work. i also use webmail extension to access my hotmail account, and discovered i am having problems with this too... is there a better way to share the same profile between xp and linux? | 09:42 |

| * DefamedPrawn is still waiting | 10:21 | |
| knut_ | hateball: ty | 10:21 |
| balachmar | dns53: It only says somthing about creating a udev rule, with the usb subsystem networking is never mentioned | 10:21 |
| forensicwannabe | Defamed: after you killed it in console, did you ps if | grep fox ? | 10:21 |
| * DefamedPrawn does a ps -ef |grep firefox and sees there is a firefox process running, even though it's not giving any data at all. | 10:21 | |
| forensicwannabe | correction ef | grep fox | 10:21 |
| forensicwannabe | because, if you killed it, and then it is still running, then you didn | 10:22 |
| forensicwannabe | 't really kill it | 10:22 |
| ePax0s | I'm getting this error while trying to install network printer from HP... when running sudo hp-setup... Anyone knows what this error can be? error: Unable to send broadcast SLP packet: (1, 'Operation not permitted') | 10:22 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe no, I'll try that now. | 10:22 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe just killed firefox, it is dead. I see no processes running in ps -ef |grep fox | 10:23 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe shall I restart firefox from the console now? | 10:23 |
| dns53 | balachmar well the g1 either uses serial or usb networking and i know it has usb networking avalable so i'm not sure if it toggles between the two while debugging | 10:23 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe shall I restart firefox from the console now? | 10:24 |
| forensicwannabe | yeah good | 10:25 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe yep. Restarted. Am now waiting for something to happen. | 10:25 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe again, nothing happening. | 10:26 |
| sybux | how can I see what is compiled in my kernel ? for exemple is IPv6 enable or not ? | 10:26 |
| === Kernel is now known as Wicked | ||
| * DefamedPrawn kills firefox again | 10:26 | |
| forensicwannabe | have you uninstalled any programs or packages lagtely | 10:27 |
| dns53 | sybux your /boot has config files | 10:27 |
| * DefamedPrawn tries firefox -safe-mode | 10:28 | |
| sybux | dns53: oh sure, I forget those one !! | 10:28 |
| DefamedPrawn | something happens | 10:28 |
| dns53 | sybux you can also extract it from proc i think | 10:28 |
| amerinese_ | hey i just want to report what i think is a bug, but i'm not sure and i don't really do development, can i tell someone here? it has to do with the xulrunner package | 10:28 |
| forensicwannabe | something happens???? yeah.....something happens every day.... you are right Defamed!!!! | 10:28 |
| Awsoonn | How can I give an interface a nickname/label ex 'Public' and have it show in ifconfig? | 10:29 |
| dns53 | amerinese_ have you reported it to launchpad? give lots of details, i used version, to do action and result happened | 10:29 |
| unop | Awsoonn, ifrename | 10:30 |
| forensicwannabe | thedoctor can | 10:30 |
| amerinese_ | dns53: i guess i'm not really familiar with that | 10:30 |
| * DefamedPrawn tries firefox -safe-mode, disables all add-ons, and then finds that firefox works when he restarts it. | 10:31 | |
| forensicwannabe | thedoctor can't stay up for more than one minute | 10:31 |
| hateball | Awsoonn: Not sure about a nickname/alias, but you could always rename the interface altogether | 10:31 |
| forensicwannabe | okay, so one of your addons is the problem | 10:31 |
| forensicwannabe | cool | 10:31 |
| sybux | I've got some problem with my IntelSpeed step ? My laptop (poor pentium M) is always running @600Mhz even if i change in the gnome applet to 1Ghz | 10:32 |
| aldin | sybux, sudo invoke powernowd stop | 10:33 |
| dns53 | amerinese_ https://launchpad.net/ is the bug tracking system used for ubuntu, try and find the application name and see if anyone has submitted a bug report for it, if it's a new issue include as much info as you can so it is easier to track down the bug | 10:33 |
| DefamedPrawn | ok that's interesting. Firefox jams completely, whenever I try and view my downloads. | 10:33 |
| natnayr89 | hi there ppl, how do i get my hp mini 1000 to work with the 3g sim card | 10:33 |
| Awsoonn | hateball: I wish to avoid renaming the device altogether | 10:34 |
| aldin | sybux, sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd stop (pardon, forgot '-rc.d') | 10:34 |
| forensicwannabe | Defamed: do you have bookmarks?\ | 10:34 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe yes I think so. | 10:34 |
| ePax0s | I'm getting this error while trying to install network printer from HP... when running sudo hp-setup... Anyone knows what this error can be? error: Unable to send broadcast SLP packet: (1, 'Operation not permitted') | 10:34 |
| sybux | aldin: it's stop | 10:34 |
| jokkaa | What does "Transport endpoint is not connected " mean? im trying to get my Zen working... | 10:35 |
| hateball | Awsoonn: Are you using networkmanager, or just regular /etc/network/interfaces ? | 10:35 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe yes all my bookmarks are there. | 10:35 |
| aldin | sybux, perhaps to rmmod modulename - e.g powernow-k8 (for AMD) dont know for intel what is | 10:35 |
| forensicwannabe | Defamed: Then I would save them....backup.... uninstall firefox --remove remove it completely.....ther is a webpage that tells you how to remove it completely, and then reinstall | 10:36 |
| sybux | aldin: for being sure, I've recomipled my kernel for Intel Pentium M and activate Intel Speed Step | 10:36 |
| forensicwannabe | your other option is to remove addons one at a time, and see which one fixes the problem | 10:36 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe so lose all my addons, search engines, etc? | 10:36 |
| sybux | aldin: it as works for about 10 minutes and now it can't change anymore | 10:36 |
| forensicwannabe | You could probably figure out the problem, but it will take a long time | 10:37 |
| Awsoonn | hateball: interfaces, it si a headless machine | 10:37 |
| forensicwannabe | it's up to you | 10:37 |
| aldin | sybux, do you want or dont you want to have frequency scaling, i mean do you want it to always work on 100% | 10:37 |
| forensicwannabe | go to addon manager and bookmark all the addons in your current firefox....before you back them up, so you can reinstall after removing firefox | 10:38 |
| sybux | aldin: I want to scale but it never change. For exemple now I'm doing some compilation and my CPU is at 100% but only at 600Mhz | 10:38 |
| hateball | Awsoonn: couldnt you just 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' ? | 10:38 |
| aldin | sybux, hmm dont know | 10:39 |
| hateball | Awsoonn: and put comments in there | 10:39 |
| Shanoes | ePaxOs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=573556 | 10:39 |
| sybux | aldin: and how to disable it ? I can run a shell when compiling for exemple | 10:39 |
| forensicwannabe | Defamed: one of your addons may be conflicting with another. I would google: firefox addon conflict.....or something like that\ | 10:40 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I'm gettin about 3 blocked packages/sec in firestarter's blocked connection on port 64339...should I worry about it???...seems like a flood :( | 10:40 |
| aldin | sybux, try to find name of that intel speed step module | 10:40 |
| aigarius | sybux: try looking at files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ | 10:40 |
| orangey | hey all! | 10:40 |
| orangey | I've been trying to find a way to unload services when suspending (to be reloaded when resuming) | 10:41 |
| orangey | but I can't figure it out since the change to the new power management system | 10:41 |
| sybux | aigarius: ok and what should I found there ? | 10:41 |
| orangey | it used to be that I could use /etc/default/acpi-support | 10:42 |
| orangey | but even that file now states that it is deprecated.. | 10:42 |
| aigarius | sybux: the best way usually is to use the ondemand governor by writing 'ondemand' to scaling_governor there | 10:42 |
| Awsoonn | hateball: redhat had a way to do it, so I thought it was universal. I am indeed just puttign comments in the interfaces file now | 10:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | forensicwannabe can you use my full nick when addressing me? That way the x-chat icon in the system tray flashes to let me know. | 10:43 |
| balachmar | dns53: I've got it working now at least as root (which is good enough for me now) | 10:43 |
| alaza1 | best linux/compiz supported dual-scrren graphics card? suggestions anybody? | 10:43 |
| balachmar | dns53: Basically everything was fine, just needed to run the command (the server and the normal command as root) | 10:43 |
| sybux | aigarius: this is the case but my CPU speed never change even when my CPU is at 100% of use | 10:44 |
| SJrX | Question, anyone know how to jump in XMOTO? | 10:44 |
| forensicwannabe | DefamedPrawn: yeah sure... no prob, but I have to go anyways. good luck with your prob. sounds like you got it licked. | 10:44 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | hmm...firestarter's eating 80% of my cpu now :(( | 10:44 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | any help??? | 10:44 |
| Seveas | SJr, drive up a hill very fast. At the top of the hill you jump :) | 10:45 |
| orkun | hey there: with 2.6.27-11 ubuntu switched back from r8187 to rtl8187 wireless lan module(which FINALLY works again) - why was the first change made anyway(rendering my installation useless for 3 months), who decides this stuff and where can i read about those changes/participate in deciding these things. my main concern is: will it stay like this? can i trust my installation not to be broken via upgrade again? | 10:45 |
| dns53 | balachmar good to hear, i haven't played around with andriod yet on my openmoko | 10:45 |
| aigarius | sybux: then what is most likely is that you do not have the correct driver loaded for the scaling to work, you can see the driver currently in use in the scaling_driver file | 10:45 |
| SJrX | Hmmmm no | 10:45 |
| sybux | aigarius: It's "acpi-cpufreq" | 10:46 |
| orangey | What has replaced /etc/default/acpi-support for UNLOADING services? | 10:46 |
| alaza1 | best linux/compiz supported dual-screen graphics card? | 10:46 |
| balachmar | dns53: I have the android dev phone and I like it. I wanted a phone with hardware keyboard and 3G That why I didn't opt for the openmoko, and the fact that the openmoko is still a bit dodgy as a phone | 10:46 |
| forensicwannabe | |HSOt|SadiQ; sounds like you're getting a DOS attack, but that's probably not it....maybe some bug.... you should renice your firestarter | 10:46 |
| DefamedPrawn | |HSOt|SadiQ yeah it does that sometimes ... especially if you have bittorrent running. | 10:46 |
| balachmar | dns53: Although I really like that the devphone is hardware unlocked as well, so in theory I could run openmoko on this as well. | 10:47 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I've just restarted my pc | 10:47 |
| DefamedPrawn | |HSOt|SadiQ you don't need firestarter running ... your firewall is up anyway, be default. | 10:47 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | and it seems they're probing the same port from a lot of different Ip ranges | 10:47 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | well...my connection was gettin knocked about 2 times a day so I installed firestarter to check | 10:48 |
| forensicwannabe | sounds like a DOS attack???\ | 10:48 |
| live | videnciq | 10:48 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | for waaaay to many different Ipo's??? | 10:48 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | ip's | 10:48 |
| forensicwannabe | sounds like a DOS attack | 10:48 |
| forensicwannabe | why would anyone attack your IP | 10:48 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | donno | 10:49 |
| aigarius | sybux: you can try telling the driver to switch frequencies directly by using the "userspace" scaling governor and writing a freqency to the scaling_setspeed file | 10:49 |
| forensicwannabe | it's a mistake | 10:49 |
| damo22 | anyone know of a dvd player that plays divx, and also has volume control on the analogue outputs? i googled it for a while and came up blank... | 10:49 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I've got a clean ubuntu install | 10:49 |
| DefamedPrawn | |HSOt|SadiQ have you had Azureus or Vuze, or any bittorrent client up? | 10:49 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | yes...3 days ago | 10:49 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | turned it off thou :P | 10:49 |
| unop | |HSOt|SadiQ, probably too late by now. | 10:50 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | 3 days later??? | 10:50 |
| aigarius | sybux: but there is one more thing - I once had a broken AC adapter on my Dell laptop and the CPU on that laptop refused to go to full frequency when that adapter was plugged in because it could not detect how many watts it could provide | 10:50 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | and after the Ip changed??? | 10:50 |
| orangey | Any ideas on how I can unload / reload services when I suspend / resume? | 10:50 |
| sybux | aigarius: actually I'm on the battery | 10:51 |
| forensicwannabe | |HSO|SadiQ: what probably happened is that your internet provider changed your IP, and they gave you an IP of a business or organization that was prone to attack. Call your internet provider and tell them that you are being atacked by a DOS attack, and you need them to change your IP | 10:51 |
| sybux | aigarius: I can't change the scaling_setspeed manualy. Vi says : Fsync error | 10:52 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | rebooting changes that Ip...but the same thing appears in firestarter...just a different port :( | 10:52 |
| forensicwannabe | tell them to change your IP again. this is no an uncommon problem | 10:52 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | :( | 10:52 |
| forensicwannabe | are you running a server? | 10:52 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I hate rebooting | 10:52 |
| unop | |HSOt|SadiQ, do you use a router for your internet connection? | 10:53 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | nope | 10:53 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | nope | 10:53 |
| forensicwannabe | do you have a nat router? | 10:53 |
| FloodBot2 | |HSOt|SadiQ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:53 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | :P | 10:53 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | no router...cable goes in eth0 | 10:53 |
| forensicwannabe | you need to run your computer behind a nat router for a firewall | 10:53 |
| unop | |HSOt|SadiQ, ok, but how can you be guaranteed that the IP address changes? | 10:53 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | it's not the same??? | 10:54 |
| unop | |HSOt|SadiQ, not necessarily | 10:54 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I'm not exactly newbie i linux :P | 10:54 |
| DefamedPrawn | hey my Download Manager's fixed | 10:54 |
| forensicwannabe | didn't you say that rebooting it causes the IP to change | 10:54 |
| DefamedPrawn | courtessy of Magilla in ##australia | 10:54 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | yes | 10:54 |
| PokerFacePenguin | |HSOt|SadiQ: you can sudo dhclient eth0 | 10:54 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | it changes after a reboot | 10:54 |
| aigarius | sybux: so you need to try loadig different scaling drivers and then try to change the frequency manually, I don't know the list of possible drivers, however | 10:54 |
| DefamedPrawn | [21:21] <Magilla> rename downloads.sqlite to downloads.sqlite.old | 10:54 |
| forensicwannabe | did you put a strong password on your administrator account when you installed ubuntu?\ | 10:55 |
| unop | |HSOt|SadiQ, in any case, use a firewall, secure all open ports and you should be ok - they tend to give up after a while. | 10:55 |
| oobe | forensicwannabe, do you want to know my root password? | 10:55 |
| jim_p | how can i scan for wireless networks around me from the terminal? | 10:55 |
| forensicwannabe | oobe.....I don't think so | 10:55 |
| sybux | aigarius: he scaling_max_freq has 600000 value and I can't change to 1100000 | 10:55 |
| jim_p | i just want ONE ssid | 10:55 |
| unop | jim_p, sudo iwlist scan | 10:56 |
| PokerFacePenguin | jim_p: try installing kismet | 10:56 |
| oobe | forensicwannabe, lol | 10:56 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | it's been like this for 2 days now :( | 10:56 |
| forensicwannabe | lol | 10:56 |
| jim_p | unop, thanks | 10:56 |
| jim_p | PokerFacePenguin, i dont have internet connection there | 10:56 |
| forensicwannabe | software firewalls are worthless | 10:56 |
| aigarius | sybux: and what does cpuinfo_max_freq say? | 10:56 |
| forensicwannabe | only a nat router will give you a secure firewall...... for your application | 10:57 |
| sybux | aigarius: cpuinfo_max_freq is 1100000 | 10:57 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | my connection got dropped with some strange "TCP: Treason uncloaked!" message last time | 10:57 |
| sybux | aigarius: this is the point where I can't understand what's happend | 10:57 |
| unop | forensicwannabe, that's not true - in any case, you're offtopic there. | 10:57 |
| forensicwannabe | did you make a strong password when you installed ubuntu? | 10:57 |
| forensicwannabe | unop: he's in trouble...he's a newbie, and I'm just trying to help him get his ubuntu back on track | 10:58 |
| aigarius | sybux: let me put it this way - the inux kernel hears that that the CPU is capable of 1.1Ghz, but is unable to find a knob that would allow it to reach that | 10:58 |
| sybux | aigarius: exactly | 10:59 |
| === keto is now known as jbourne | ||
| unop | forensicwannabe, to say only a NAT router will protect him is untrue - and subjective - anyway, offtopic. | 10:59 |
| forensicwannabe | unop: it's not absolutely true, but it is true in general.....like I said for his application...... | 10:59 |
| forensicwannabe | exactly.....I was just trying to talk to him in terms that he could understand and deal with. | 11:00 |
| === Vantrax is now known as Van|away | ||
| PokerFacePenguin | hmm, looks like a netsplit | 11:02 |
| aigarius | sybux: look into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq for possible drivers | 11:02 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | that sudo dhclient ppp0 killed my connection | 11:02 |
| PokerFacePenguin | it reset your ip address | 11:02 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | no...I had to use the GUI to do that | 11:03 |
| PokerFacePenguin | |HSOt|SadiQ: that command sends out a dhcp request | 11:03 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. ...was the response | 11:03 |
| forensicwannabe | oobe: cheers....I'm outta here..... I like someone who can make a wise crack from time to time..... do I want your password lol | 11:03 |
| sybux | aigarius: actually I'm using acpu-cpufreq but I don't know which other I can try | 11:03 |
| PokerFacePenguin | |HSOt|SadiQ: hmmm, no dhcp server listening to give you an ip | 11:04 |
| PokerFacePenguin | |HSOt|SadiQ: but you did it on ppp0 not eth0 | 11:05 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | right clicking on that network applet and selecting/deselecting Enable Network fixed it | 11:05 |
| aigarius | sybux: could it be that your CPU is to new to have proper support in the kernel? | 11:05 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | on eth0 it had no effect | 11:05 |
| sybux | aigarius: I don't think so, my laptop is 3 years old | 11:05 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I'm connecting to the internet directly trough eth0---->ppp0 | 11:05 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | firestarter's chilled out a bit now :) | 11:06 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | just lots of requests for shoutcast servers and port 8080 in the logs | 11:06 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | actually I'm beeing scanned for opened ports....ip's are not too different now | 11:07 |
| PokerFacePenguin | |HSOt|SadiQ: you could deny that domain in iptables i believe.... | 11:07 |
| bazhang | |HSOt|SadiQ, please take this to #networking or #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:08 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | oh...sry...didn't see the #networking in ubuntu.com's web page :( | 11:09 |
| Shanoes | |HSOt|SadiQ, might be worth looking into shorewall firewall if this continues | 11:09 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | sry all...and thx :) | 11:09 |
| PokerFacePenguin | |HSOt|SadiQ: your best/easiest solution is a router | 11:09 |
| meekatron | hello having issues getting my head round dns and proxy`s, i had a spare machine so decided to make my own dns and proxy server. my first question is if my local machine uses the dns server will it automatically use the proxy server because it is on the same machine as the dns server | 11:09 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | that would be ideal, but every store out here is closed for holydays :( | 11:10 |

| NET||abuse | hi guys.. trying to get Company Of Heroes on Steam working on Wine. there's a note on the forums and winehq about changing direct3d settings in the wine / windows registry.. but trying to run regedit is causing an issue for me | 11:18 |
| NET||abuse | says can't load an archive?ahhh | 11:19 |
| NET||abuse | never mind... i'm a moron.. | 11:19 |
| dieter_ | Shanoes, no up to now I tried only with cvs -d ... option | 11:19 |
| hak5fan | Hi all does anyone know how to turn off sounds in kopete | 11:20 |
| aresu | I am newbies on linux. may I now, what is the similar k-lite code from windows on ubuntu os? thanks | 11:20 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-restricted-extras aresu | 11:21 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | w32codecs?? | 11:21 |
| Shanoes | dieter_, OK you will need to tell cvs to use ssh and where the repository is by using these variables | 11:21 |
| bazhang | aresu, you can also check at medibuntu.org for w32codecs and libdvdcss2 | 11:21 |
| dieter_ | Shanoes, thank you, I'll check this out | 11:22 |
| Shanoes | dieter_, in your .bashrc (or elsewhere) export CVS_RSH=ssh | 11:22 |
| aresu | bazhang: thank very much | 11:22 |
| Shanoes | dieter_, export CVSROOT=user@cvs.server:/path/to/repository | 11:22 |
| Shanoes | dieter_, have a read of http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-cvs.php | 11:22 |
| dieter_ | Shanoes, when using non standard port for ssh, do I specify it in the same way as I would for a nonstandard pserver-port in CVSROOT? | 11:24 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | can anyone paste an xorg.conf please...mine seems to lack a lot of things in it :(( | 11:24 |
| NCommander | |HSOt|SadiQ, just delete xorg.conf, it will automatically be regenerated | 11:24 |
| aresu | hi all, is it required to install antivirus on Ubuntu? like I install on windows before. thanks | 11:25 |
| style | hello | 11:25 |
| Shanoes | dieter_, not sure but sounds reasonable... | 11:25 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | but it will still lack a lot of things | 11:25 |
| style | Can I ubuntu read a book for me? | 11:25 |
| style | My eyes are tired. | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, the new X versions autoconfigure a lot of things. You can still use older xorg.conf to tweak things ibelive | 11:25 |
| hak5fan | aresu: Generally No | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | !virus | aresu | 11:25 |
| ubottu | aresu: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 11:26 |
| PokerFacePenguin | aresu: not necessary except maybe to keep it from spreading to your friends on windows via email etc | 11:26 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | well...I lack the old xorg.conf...that's why I need one of yours | 11:26 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | mine looks too simple compared to what I had before | 11:26 |
| dieter_ | Schanoes, no, it wont work that way: "CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver, and pserver connection methods." | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, simple is how its supposed to look. | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, some systems can get by with no xorg.conf I hear. X can autoconfigure all the stuff :) | 11:27 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | so...how do I know if Composite is enabled??? since it's not in xorg.conf :( | 11:28 |
| aresu | I guys, I really excited using ubuntu (my first linux) ;-) the program launch and process is very fast ;-), I am developing web application usually using xampp on windows, but is not so fast like on linux :) | 11:28 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | that was an example | 11:28 |

| grobda24 | I tried using "Unetbootin super grub disk" to make a Windows XP boot loader load Ubuntu on a second harddisk. I selected something like "set laptop partition" by mistake, and now I get "error loading operating system". My files are intact. Partition table - http://paste.linuxassist.net/156491 ... Any ideas ? | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, so you have an actual 'problem' with X ? Theres commands that tell that specific example I belive.. Not sure what ones. | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, you could always add specific 'sections' back to the xorg.conf if you want to try to override the defaults | 11:29 |

| |HSOt|SadiQ | no...X works fine...but I lack(I think) a lot of options in my xorg.conf that I used to tweak, or add things I needed | 11:29 |

| Shanoes | dieter_, non standard port info here http://www.bartbusschots.ie/blog/?p=527 | 11:29 |
| rolandcortes | hallow | 11:30 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, they are not lacking. they are being auto-set. If you have an old xorg.conf that worked for you.. copy it back over. if you really wan tto see all them. | 11:30 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | but I can't add them without knowing wich are...and there doesn't seem to be a nice xorg.conf anywere | 11:30 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | I don't have :( | 11:30 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | if someone here can paste it for me...? | 11:30 |

| |HSOt|SadiQ | please? | 11:30 |

| |HSOt|SadiQ | none seem complete thou :( | 11:31 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | my xorg.conf doesn't even have a Server Flags Option | 11:31 |
| t_ | Excuse me but does anyone know how to install guest additions with Virtual Box? | 11:31 |
| dr_willis | |HSOt|SadiQ, look for older ones then. The whole point of the NEW changes in X was to make xorg.conf simpiler. | 11:31 |
| t_ | I'm finding it impossible to get whatever that is. | 11:31 |
| |HSOt|SadiQ | and I don't want to add it without knowing where and what to add :) | 11:32 |
| grobda24 | |HSOt|SadiQ, I think you can auto generate one for your system if you read the docs on Ubuntu wiki. | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | Theres that old xorg-somthing reconfigure command also.. | 11:32 |
| PokerFacePenguin | t_: you should be able to automount the ISO image | 11:32 |
| * grobda24 wonders why if someone asks for help there are suddenyl "zillions" of sites out there with the answer ? | 11:32 | |
| dr_willis | t_, i enable the 'install guest addations' in the menu, then either mount manually the cd image it just added to the virtualmachine, or browse witht he file mnager and find it.. I use the terminal.. since i run the installer from the terminal | 11:33 |

| qaws | dr_willis, I connected it, when the computer was off | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | qaws, normally DVI gets the right res for me.. If you are using a NVIDIA card. You may need to have the nvidia Drivers installed properly first.. I had one box that dident get the right dvi res Untill I had the nvidia drivers going | 11:55 |
| Boohbah | silv3r_m00n: http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php | 11:55 |
| silv3r_m00n | Boohbah: thanks | 11:56 |
| qaws | dr_willis, my nvidia drivers are (should be) OK, 3D games go without problems with VGA and 1920x1080. | 11:57 |
| Boohbah | silv3r_m00n: not sure of any GUI that does the bitrate conversion though, the command line syntax is not difficult and there are examples in the man page | 11:57 |
| silv3r_m00n | Boohbah: let me try | 11:57 |
| qaws | dr_willis, ... and I did not have to rewrite anything in xorg.conf, when I installed this monitor with VGA. I had only to change the resolution | 11:58 |

| dr_willis | qaws, ie: restart X with No xorg.conf at all.. see if it rescans/configures | 12:05 |
| qaws | dr_willis, thanks, I will try... | 12:05 |
| dr_willis | dangit, check with the mount command to see if its actually 'mounted' the gnome file manager can 'browse' shares without mounting them in the normal sence. | 12:06 |

| dr_willis | Hmmm.... | 12:17 |
| eleos2 | how can i install the ext4 linux kernel in ubuntu | 12:17 |
| norbert79 | mbdl: If it concerns Ubuntu related problems of course | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | !ext4 | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 12:17 |
| jim_p | what package do i need to install for an nvidia 5700m ? | 12:17 |
| norbert79 | eleos2: You have to compile your own kernel, using the latest source | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | Is ext4 considered safe at this time? | 12:17 |
| jim_p | that m is because its on laptop | 12:17 |
| norbert79 | !kernel_compile | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel_compile | 12:17 |
| mbdl | norbert79: cant get my sound to work | 12:17 |
| eleos2 | norbert79 how can i do that? | 12:17 |
| norbert79 | dr_willis: Yes, afaik Linus set it as stable for the latest | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | !kernel | 12:17 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | norbert79, more fun for the next release then. :) | 12:18 |
| norbert79 | dr_willis: More headaches too :) | 12:18 |
| mbdl | norbert79: i tryed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro4-1/Intrepid | 12:18 |
| mbdl | and it will not work | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | norbert79, i havent been Keeping up with ext4 other then 'its comming....' | 12:18 |
| norbert79 | dr_willis: Check the latest release of the kernel news | 12:18 |
| norbert79 | mbdl: Hang on | 12:18 |
| eleos2 | is ubuntu going to release the linux kernel ext4? | 12:18 |
| norbert79 | eleos2: Probably in the next release | 12:18 |
| norbert79 | eleos2: But i doubt it | 12:19 |
| mbdl | norbert79: thx | 12:19 |
| norbert79 | eleos2: Maybe in 9.10 | 12:19 |
| eleos2 | why? | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | Its not like they would force people to use ext4 - | 12:19 |
| eleos2 | is it good if install it by myself? | 12:19 |
| norbert79 | eleos2: It's way different, when you try to impőlement a new filesystem to a distro than having a new version of Gnome for example | 12:19 |
| === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as alessio4ever | ||
| dr_willis | eleos2, you take your system in your own hands then.. | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | eleos2, try it if you want. :) thats the linux way | 12:20 |
| jim_p | eleos2, because its not a rolling release distro. you can always compile the kernel yourself | 12:20 |
| norbert79 | eleos2: It's always nice experimenting, but do it at your own risk :) KNOW what you are trying to accomplish | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | !latest | 12:20 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 12:20 |
| eleos2 | ok thx guys | 12:20 |
| norbert79 | LOL | 12:20 |
| norbert79 | thats far night true | 12:20 |
| norbert79 | Ubuntu uses the unstable tree from Debian | 12:20 |
| norbert79 | if you want stability, use Debian, Ubuntu uses always the latest | 12:21 |
| eleos2 | ok | 12:21 |
| eleos2 | iam on debian | 12:21 |
| jim_p | in fact, ubuntu uses a mix of debian unstable + experimental branches | 12:21 |
| norbert79 | jim_p: Thank you, thats the right definiton | 12:21 |
| jim_p | eleos2, then 2.6.28 will come sooner or later | 12:21 |
| norbert79 | mbdl: Ok, let me see | 12:21 |
| stjepan | hi, anyone using gnome2-globalmenu? | 12:22 |

| Fri13 | Does anyone know is there release schedule for Ubuntu LTS's version point releases? | 12:31 |
| Fri13 | bullgard4: As far I know, those comes when needed and not scheduled? | 12:32 |
| bullgard4 | Fri13: This is correct. | 12:32 |
| Fri13 | bullgard4: can I count your information too? Because I have never heard that LTS version would get exact schedules for point releases. Only know that those will come if there comes too serious bugs what needs that cd-image needs updateing too, so they include all updates to that and few other fixes for installer etc? | 12:33 |
| Melio1 | i got wifi working, thanks guys | 12:34 |
| Melio1 | works incredably well now | 12:34 |
| Melio1 | didnt take much. just a kernel compiled module | 12:35 |
| Melio1 | hopefully it doesnt mess up every time there's a kernel release | 12:35 |
| Melio1 | if so. no biggie | 12:35 |

| Melio1 | it's got package info on it | 12:42 |
| Melio1 | and other things | 12:43 |
| Melio1 | like !info amarok | 12:43 |
| Melio1 | !info amarok | 12:43 |

| cmv583 | can anyone direct me towards a good port monitor app? | 12:45 |
| bullgard4 | cmv583: Define "good". | 12:46 |
| cmv583 | bull on ethat is easy to use, I am having speed issues and am wondering if its some problem related to ports being shared, or something | 12:47 |
| thebloggu | how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ? | 12:48 |
| cmv583 | bullgard4: that is easy to use, I am having speed issues and am wondering if its some problem related to ports being shared, or something | 12:48 |
| bullgard4 | cmv583: "speed issues" may occur literally everywhere. --I cannot help you. | 12:50 |
| markwilson | hi | 12:51 |
| cmv583 | bullgard4: i know, just wanted to have something to monitor | 12:51 |
| serwou | hi | 12:51 |
| rva_lenio | hi | 12:51 |
| markwilson | i just got an inspiron 1525 shipped with hardy but it keeps crashing | 12:51 |
| markwilson | the wireless drops after a while and then i can't run anything with sudo | 12:52 |
| serwou | I've just upgraded to Intrepid and my TRAC web application doesn't work anymore, there is no more trac.cgi around, how I could fix that ? | 12:52 |
| markwilson | so i have to force a shutdown and it fails on mdns daemon | 12:52 |
| markwilson | can anyone help? :) | 12:53 |
| Boohbah | cmv583: are you talking about server daemons listening on TCP/UDP IP ports? very unlikely that is causing any system slowdown, as someone would have to connect to the services and use them... but if you want you can check with 'netstat -anp' | 12:53 |
| bullgard4 | cmv583: Try hapm. | 12:53 |
| rva_lenio | I have a question about wlan, CTS and kernel version: all kernels > 2.6.24-18 seems to use CTS with wlan, which disables me from accessing a EAP-TLS network. Do you know if something about CTS is enabled in kernels > 2.6.24-18? | 12:53 |
| cmv583 | bullgard4: thanks | 12:54 |
| markwilson | boohbah: i don't really know why it's crashing, it seems to start with the wireless dying. it's only when i force a shutdown that i see the mdns daemon won't stop | 12:54 |
| Boohbah | markwilson: have you updated your packages? | 12:55 |
| hari_ | a | 12:55 |
| markwilson | boohbah: yep, although it's coming up with 16 more now, but it keeps crashing when trying to download them | 12:56 |
| hari_ | i m new to this chat . | 12:56 |
| hari_ | help . | 12:56 |

| hari_ | i downloaded by add/remove | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | downloaded what exactly? | 12:59 |
| markwilson | boohbah: is it likely to be a hardware fault? | 12:59 |
| norbert79 | hari_: What exactly did you do? | 12:59 |
| hari_ | i have nvidia 8400gs | 12:59 |
| lintunen | jtaji: the method you suggested earlier for locking packages will not work for me because it talks about pinning to a particular distro, I want to stop custom kernel packages from getting overwritten | 13:00 |
| bullgard4 | norbert79: "13:29 < norbert79> bullgard4: Hang on for a moment" | 13:00 |
| markwilson | boohbah: it came with ubuntu preinstalled and hasn't worked properly, so i formatted and installed hardy again, but i get the same problems | 13:00 |
| norbert79 | hari_: Good, and did you enbale the usage of closed source drivers using the option in /system/administration? | 13:00 |
| hari_ | i didnt get you | 13:00 |
| norbert79 | bullgard4: Didn't forgat you, but you didn't answer my question, besides, you got help after me as well.. I toguht it got solved. So what was your problem again? | 13:01 |
| norbert79 | hari_: Just having Nvidia drivers installed might be not enough, you have to ENABLE them too | 13:01 |
| hari_ | tellme how? | 13:01 |
| bullgard4 | norbert79: Who can explain to me the sentence "NAME: rtnetlink - macros to manipulate rtnetlink messages" from man 3 rtnetlink? | 13:01 |
| norbert79 | hari_: Use system/administration/closed source drivers | 13:01 |
| norbert79 | bullgard4: Ah yes, ok | 13:01 |
| hari_ | i dont see closed soruce thing | 13:02 |
| markwilson | does anyone else have any idea how to fix my inspiron 1525 | 13:02 |

| hari_ | nobert help? | 13:03 |
| norbert79 | hari_: Ok, do please the following "glxinfo | grep direct" | 13:03 |
| lintunen | Can anybody tell me how to prevent custom kernel packages from getting overridden with automatic update. I have tried 'holding' as suggested in the pinning howto but this does not work. | 13:03 |
| MaheshS | @Markwilson What is the prob with 1525? | 13:03 |

| ArrPirate | I installed XBMC on ubuntu 8.10 yesterday and it crashed and since then I've had no audio playback possible... every time I open something that normally has audio all I hear i popping noises... I tried uninstalling xbmc and I still have the audio issues. How can I fix this? | 13:04 |
| SJr | I am getting GRUB error 17 when I boot, I just turned my primary partition into a logical one. | 13:04 |
| markwilson | @MaheshS the wireless dies after a random amount of time which leaves the laptop unusable. absolutely nothing will run after that. But it also happens when trying to do my 16 updates. | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | keystr0k, issent that a windows program? | 13:05 |
| markwilson | @MaheshS and then when I have to hold the power off, it tries a forced reboot, but it fails on the mDNS daemon and doesn't actually reboot | 13:05 |
| keystr0k | dr_willis, Supported operating systems: | 13:05 |
| keystr0k | Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista, each 32-bit and 64-bit, Mono (Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, ...). | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | keystr0k, if its not in the repos.. i would say check the programs homepage/docs | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | keystr0k, they may have a ubuntu package for it. | 13:05 |
| keystr0k | dr_willis, yeah... I cannot seem to find an install guide. I'll keep looking. thanks. | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | keystr0k, when all else fails.. compile from source. Check forums for others that may have made a package | 13:07 |
| UndergroundZer0 | stix | 13:07 |
| keystr0k | dr_willis, definitely :) | 13:07 |

| teross | hello..maybe here could anyone tell me why i cant load live cd on my pc? i suspect its ati 3850 doesnt allow to load | 13:14 |
| pieters | oke dus niemand hier die wil helpen | 13:14 |
| ikonia | teross: ati is a common cause for the livecd being a problem | 13:15 |
| ikonia | teross: have you tried tha alternative cd to test if it loads normally (admitidley you won't get a live desktop) | 13:15 |
| dangit | is there any decent app (like evolution) that supports exchange 2007? | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | !info xbmc | 13:15 |

| teross | if i install kubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 via safe mode..its not enough for me - i want my pc would work efficiently, with vesa even firefox or movies, youtube lags.. :| | 13:16 |
| aggar | why are you installing via safemode? | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | teross, its possible the full install + the fglrx drivers will work. The lvie cd does not have those drivers.. or may be trying ati drivers that dont work with that card | 13:17 |

| ikonia | misty_wrk: you have to change the fesity repo to the archive repo's due to them being removed (no longer supported) | 13:19 |
| ikonia | misty_wrk: to be honest, from 7.04 to 8.04 I'd suggest considering a clean install and backing up your core files because so much has changed between the releases | 13:19 |
| misty_wrk | ikonia: is there a list of what I should change? | 13:19 |
| ikonia | misty_wrk: basiclly fesity is now on the archive release server rather than current | 13:20 |
| ikonia | misty_wrk: thats the only real change | 13:20 |
| Akos_Beginner | Hi, Any of you used dansguardian with squid? Can they interoperate or both or Dansguardian can oerate alone? | 13:20 |

| everettz | Good morning. Looking for someone interested in a small contract to show me easy to follow instructions for removing PulseAudio from Intrepid in a way that will not break upgrades and that the Orca screen-reader will still work properly. | 13:22 |
| norbert79 | everettz: I think you might ask for total World dominiation, that would be easier :) | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | 'not break upgrades' - I dont see that happening.. | 13:23 |
| troythetechguy | Good morning. I'm considering purchasing the Acer Aspire AS4730-4857 notebook, but want to wipe Vista and install Ubuntu. Does anyone have experience running Ubuntu, or any distro of Linux on this model, or on any Acer notebook? | 13:23 |
| ikonia | everettz: you can contact canonical for a paid for support option | 13:23 |
| norbert79 | troythetechguy: Why dont you visit your local store, and take a copy of Ubuntu 8.10 with you? :) | 13:23 |
| ikonia | troythetechguy: all you need to to is check that the hardware is supported on the linux platform you want to use | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | troythetechguy, 'any acer' is very very broad.. :) My AcerAspireOne runs Linux :) | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | troythetechguy, theres several linux laptop sites out. and the ubuntu forum has a laptop section i think | 13:24 |
| mrglinux | how to recognize what is my wireless cart? | 13:24 |
| troythetechguy | Thanks all! | 13:24 |
| ardchoille | The sales associates I've dealt with didn't have a problem with me booting Ubuntu on a prospective system while in the store. Some of them even knew what Ubuntu was. | 13:24 |
| everettz | To bad. Ubuntu would be a far more accessible operating system if Pulse did not make Orca lose responsiveness. It is far better on Debian. Perhaps I will look into a paid support option, thought someone here might want to make some money. | 13:24 |
| ikonia | everettz: please take your paid for support requests to a company, canonical is the official support company | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | everettz, try a window manager/desktop thats not using Pulse perhaps. | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | But ive not ever messed with orca.. so No idea what it really needs/does | 13:26 |
| mrglinux | my wirless car dosen't detect on my 8.10 in the light of that is off | 13:26 |
| everettz | dr_willis: Unfortunately Orca needs gnome. | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | everettz, wont work with xfce eh? :( | 13:27 |

| orgthingy | http://pastebin.com/d63e8dbe6 anybody? I usually have a "Root Terminal" in my gnome-menu and double click it to launch it | 13:27 |
| orgthingy | but http://pastebin.com/d63e8dbe6 just started today | 13:28 |
| skream | iko: where can i find info on that? | 13:28 |
| orgthingy | which is quite weird i guess | 13:28 |
| everettz | dr_willis: It is a gnome package, gnome-orca. Same development cycle as gnome. Might be able to get it to work on another desktop, but it would be a great deal of work and basically a fork of the development process. | 13:28 |
| ikonia | skream: https://help.ubuntu.com | 13:28 |
| skream | im shooting you the bird right now | 13:29 |
| ikonia | skream: why ? | 13:29 |

| norbert79 | JMS32: Yes | 14:13 |
| Slart | JMS32: it will be fine.. it's a good general purpose fs | 14:13 |
| Stormx2 | JMS32, yeah, fine. But if you want the partition accessible from both windows and ntfs, and it's not ubuntu's root partition, I'd recommend NTFS | 14:13 |
| norbert79 | JMS32: Here, this is the ext3 driver for Windows: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 14:13 |
| norbert79 | Stormx2: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 14:13 |
| norbert79 | I use it daily, works perfect | 14:14 |
| Stormx2 | No, it doesn't | 14:14 |
| Stormx2 | It doesn't have proper journaling support | 14:14 |
| norbert79 | So? | 14:14 |
| Stormx2 | So it's not perfect. | 14:14 |
| Stormx2 | The support on Ubuntu for NTFS is better than the support on Windows for ext3. | 14:14 |
| JMS32 | ш ь вщте туув ощгктфдштп ащк ьн ашдьы | 14:14 |
| norbert79 | Even better, This is why I use ext2 on my Eee | 14:14 |
| Stormx2 | Hence you should use NTFS for shared partitions. | 14:14 |
| JMS32 | *i m dotn need journaling for my files | 14:14 |
| norbert79 | See? He doesn't need it neither | 14:15 |
| Stormx2 | Yes you do if you want to avoid corruption. | 14:15 |

| norbert79 | Stormx2: Like journaling would save yo8u from that... If you are such a poaranoid, use reiserfs | 14:15 |

| OCB | Hi, all... I've started using Ubuntu Intrepid, mainly for the HSDPA dongle support, but it's running very very slowly, windows keep greying out (Firefox, Psi, XChat mostly) and the whole system is very slow. It wasn't like this when I first installed, it's happened pretty much today, although I had similar experiences when I tried it a few months ago. Is this a known problem? | 14:15 |
| xjunior | davidw, no, I just want | 14:15 |
| davidw | xjunior, I would avoid it and wait for the next one. Intrepid has a lot of regressions | 14:16 |
| JMS32 | nahueli, i have it too, but havenot problems | 14:16 |
| bitannihilator42 | i need a replacement /etc/ppp/options file for 7.04 | 14:16 |
| Stormx2 | norbert79, what advantage does using ext3 on both ubuntu and windows give over using NTFS on both ubuntu and windows? Both ext3 and NTFS are robust and mature filesystems. If you want to go without journaling you might as well use FAT. | 14:16 |
| hspaans | norbert79: reiserfs is a dead end, please do not advise it | 14:16 |
| bitannihilator42 | does anyone know where i can get one? | 14:16 |
| norbert79 | Stormx2: 1. You don't need Windows for reparing an ext3. Period. | 14:16 |
| xjunior | davidw, hummm what kind of regressions? | 14:17 |
| Stormx2 | If you're going to use both, you're going to need to boot into one OS or the other to repair it, so that doesn't make any difference. | 14:17 |
| Bormy1 | I love ubuntu....Happy New Year 2009 | 14:17 |

Everytime I open Firefox it covers the top toolbar and I can't manage to see the minimise, maximise or close buttons to resize the window.

| joaopinto | assuming you have libapache2-mod-php5 installed | 15:08 |
| ardchoille | is there a mutt command that instructs mutt to start up, list new emails and exit? Or is there a way to have mutt check for new mail while it's running? I currently have mutt setup for gmail (imap). | 15:08 |
| joaopinto | c0p3rn1c, the module install package takes care of that :) | 15:09 |
| yogi192 | i've read on the vim documentation that inserting syntax on in my .vimrc file that it would turn on syntax highlighting, but i keep getting the command is not available in this version | 15:09 |
| ryan__ | I feel like this is a dumb question but in terminal how can i search a folder for all files that DONT have a certian extention | 15:09 |
| bazhang | bitannihilator42, you need to read the link and modify your sources.list as indicated | 15:09 |
| c0p3rn1c | joaopinto: ic | 15:09 |
| bitannihilator42 | i did.... | 15:09 |
| dr_willis | yogi192, you did install the vim-full package? the default is vim-tiny that does NOT have that feature enabled | 15:09 |
| joaopinto | ryan__, find /path ! -name "*.ext" | 15:09 |
| KurtKraut | How can I list iptable rules on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex ? | 15:09 |

| bitannihilator42 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/96021/ , yes,i did | 15:10 |
| ryan__ | joaopinto: thanks i knew it was dumb i forgot about the ! | 15:10 |
| yogi192 | dr_willis: good point, i had vim-tiny installed | 15:10 |

| c0p3rn1c | KurtKraut: there is a nice gui interface for that, called firestarter | 15:11 |
| bitannihilator42 | now what? | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | yogi192, :) i also edit the /etc/whatever/vimrc to enable syntax and a few other settings i always want on by default | 15:11 |
| Lasivian | is there any way to export my panel settings to another machine? | 15:13 |
| yogi192 | dr_willis: changing it in /etc/vim/vimrc makes it global, so every users gets those settings if they don't have a .vimrc file? | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | yogi192, yep. :) | 15:13 |
| yogi192 | dr_willis, sweet | 15:13 |
| hanasaki | looks like the install of php did not put anything in mods-available or mods-enabled | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | yogi192, theres some features in there i perfer.. but i am the only user. :) | 15:13 |
| bitannihilator42 | anyone? | 15:14 |

| pikario | hi, what is the difference between VMware, Qemu, and Virtualbox? | 15:17 |
| preacher | i got the win xp version but want to switch | 15:17 |
| hanasaki | looks like a php install bug | 15:17 |
| Lasivian | preacher: terrific, I have a 110L myself and it's pretty nice | 15:18 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: they're different emulators | 15:18 |
| Lasivian | preacher: the major limitations are the built0in mic and the headphones won't work at the same time, and I had some trouble with the webcam | 15:18 |
| pikario | how do they compare? | 15:18 |
| bitannihilator42 | the instructions from the page you linked: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96025/ my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96021/ tell me where exactly is that wrong? | 15:19 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: I'd recommend VMware Workstation out of all of those | 15:19 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: VirtualBox second, and QEMU last (unless you have a GUI for it) | 15:19 |
| c0p3rn1c | Lasivian:you're welcome, "pass it forward", not sure about the directory but as far as I know all settings are stored into your home directory | 15:19 |
| pikario | but it's not free/open source, right? | 15:19 |
| pikario | (vmware) | 15:19 |
| theunixgeek | no, just QEMU | 15:19 |
| theunixgeek | not sure about VirtualBox, though | 15:19 |
| norbert79 | theunixgeek: And Virtualbox | 15:19 |
| dr_willis | I like VIrtualbox. :) | 15:19 |
| pikario | you mean i have to pay to get a linux program?! | 15:20 |
| norbert79 | theunixgeek: But OS version of Virtualbox lacks of proper USB support | 15:20 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: some yes, but neither of those! | 15:20 |
| bazhang | bitannihilator42, the ones that are not old-releases.ubuntu.com are wrong | 15:20 |
| pikario | i mean vmware ! | 15:20 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: free as in freedom or price? | 15:20 |
| norbert79 | pikario: LOL, does it surprise you? What did youn think? Open Source means not for FREE :) | 15:20 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: vmware is free as in price | 15:20 |
| preacher | lasivian: thanks i'll give it a try - i don't use mic and cam much anyway | 15:20 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: vmware is not free as in freedom | 15:20 |
| norbert79 | pikario: take RedHat | 15:20 |
| pikario | oh.. | 15:20 |
| frostburn | virtualbox is great if you don't need to migrate any servers from a standalone vmware workstation image to an esx server or vice versa | 15:20 |
| raisin | Can anyone here explain how exactly do I enable nvidia tv-out on ubuntu intrepid? | 15:20 |
| norbert79 | pikario: Thats Opensource too, but not for free | 15:20 |
| bitannihilator42 | i followed the instructions to the T on the upgrade site..... | 15:20 |
| bazhang | bitannihilator42, then your sources would be correct, but they are not. | 15:21 |
| theunixgeek | pikario: free software (as in freedom) may be gratis (free as in price) or not; the same applies for open source software | 15:21 |
| frostburn | i.e. virtualbox is great standalone =] | 15:21 |
| pikario | so vmware is free but not open, qemu is open and free, and virtualbox is ??? | 15:21 |
| bitannihilator42 | so just delete everything else then your saying? | 15:21 |
| norbert79 | pikario: It has a closed solurce version and an opensource too | 15:21 |
| === raisin is now known as UserC | ||
| bazhang | bitannihilator42, the link says exactly what to do. | 15:21 |
| frostburn | pikario, free and open, compiled binaries on site are not free for non personal use | 15:21 |

| onetinsoldier | Doonz2: oh, i suppose it's possible the gained access through web browser. but it sounds like if they did, you stopped them before they could do much of anything | 15:30 |
| popey | Doonz2: ubuntu doesn't have a root user activated | 15:30 |

| aspire | mostly the problem is that my file system is read only | 15:47 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, I have the adobe-flashplugin installed currently it says | 15:48 |
| aspire | that is why the boot daemon is not able to boot up as it has an error about writing files | 15:48 |
| rinsmaster | since a few days, when I login, my gnome's in some ugly theme (blueish pre-breezy style icons) until I just open(!) the theme properties window, and as soon as the window opens, my theme goes back to normal | 15:48 |
| Doonz2 | and that woulda been right around the time when that thing in Firefox happend | 15:48 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, My problem is that I had installed gnash plugin b/c the adobe plugin wasn't working and now I can't get it to uninstall | 15:48 |
| aspire | what can I do to make the file system read and write??? | 15:48 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, Even though I uninstalled it in synaptic | 15:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: ok, close out firefox and then... apt-get purge <package_name> ..what happens if you try? | 15:49 |
| dr_willis | rinsmaster, sounds like the gnome-settings-deamon is not running for some reason. See if other users have simile rissue? | 15:49 |
| putti | anyone able to help me out with why gtk-window-decorator has to be run manually when gnome starts for it to work? | 15:49 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, kk, give me a sec | 15:50 |
| rinsmaster | dr_willis, somehow it started a few days ago, I'm not sure what I did that caused it... | 15:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: ok. you'll need to precede that with 'sudo' | 15:50 |
| dr_willis | putti, that 'fusion-icon' tool is what i normally use to change the decorators.. It may help set whatever proper settings need to be set - to make the decorator start up right | 15:50 |
| bitannihilator42 | working now, thx | 15:50 |

| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: can you redirect it to a file, and then open the file and pastebin the contents? locate flash > flash_locations_file | 16:01 |

| hspaans | kitply: your sure that it has real usb support? | 16:07 |
| bazhang | Kebab, you can get to a terminal with the cable connected at start up? that is the best way to troubleshoot this | 16:07 |

| kugel | Hi! | 16:24 |
| kugel | so I compiled qt4.4.3 myself and want to install kde4 | 16:24 |
| kugel | the problem is that apt-get apparently doesn't see that I have qt4 and wants to install qt4 libs and stuff | 16:24 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: first! sudo -i and enter password if needed, then run this command --> find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type f | xargs rm -v | 16:25 |
| elisboa | no more offtopic, sorry :) | 16:25 |
| bazhang | kugel, please join #kubuntu | 16:25 |
| kugel | bazhang: I don't have kubuntu | 16:25 |
| Seveas | kugel, assuming you know what you're doing (being able to compile qt without questions indicates that), you can use equivs to trick apt into thinking you have the packages installed | 16:26 |
| bazhang | kugel, kde4 are the province of #kubuntu | 16:26 |
| ElemonGW | which is the default nautilus' keybinding for maximizing a window? | 16:26 |
| malcom2073 | This is a paste from a "top", is this amount of memory usage normal when idling: 5576 root 20 0 393m 60m 13m S 1 3.0 241:13.97 Xorg | 16:26 |
| hspaans | ElemonGW: alt-f10 | 16:26 |
| Seveas | kugel, another option is to grab the qt sourcepackage and use the buildscripts to build your own version of the qt package and install that | 16:27 |
| ElemonGW | hspaans: thank you | 16:27 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: 60m is normal | 16:27 |
| alltax | Hmm, looks like I found the problem. If my "pc-speaker" is turned on in system / preferences / sound, my Xorg crashes when trying to beep | 16:27 |
| Seveas | kugel, but really, such things are not suported/supportable by us :) | 16:27 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: ubuntu is using over a gig idling, and I can't figure out why. It's also using over a gig of swap space | 16:27 |
| quatar-it | hi all. Does any viewer exists which shows pdfs or djvus (even in b/w) on the shell? (not OCRed, the image itself!) | 16:28 |
| Seveas | quar, it's shell. So no images. | 16:28 |
| Seveas | quatar-it* | 16:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: are you with me? | 16:29 |
| kugel | Seveas: ok, what did you mean by "equivs to trick apt"? | 16:29 |
| Seveas | kugel, apt-get install equivs; man equivs. You're going to have to read the docs :) | 16:29 |
| quatar-it | Seveas: a fake... a number of dots one after the other bla bla... Also ASCIIart are images! | 16:29 |
| kugel | it's not a qt/kde issue, but rather a apt-get one I suppose | 16:29 |
| === john is now known as Guest12728 | ||
| kugel | ah cool | 16:30 |
| windwhinny | anybody here? | 16:30 |
| Seveas | quatar-it, ah, that maes slightly more sense. Only slightly more though and I know of no viewer that does this | 16:30 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: post the following command to pastebin: vmstat 10 10 | 16:30 |
| Seveas | windwhinny, only 1310 people ;) | 16:31 |
| quatar-it | Seveas: thanks anyway! | 16:31 |
| thddx | anyone know why text may not properly refresh in a tty terminal? | 16:31 |
| windwhinny | my computer can't connect to the net,i use router | 16:32 |
| Lasivian | is there any way to login to X from shell? | 16:32 |
| thddx | meaning the old text "sticks" when scrolling | 16:32 |
| thddx | making everything unreadable | 16:32 |
| Lasivian | if I reboot I can't VNC back into the box since i'm not logged in on the gui | 16:32 |
| Seveas | Lasivian, startx (but never at as root) | 16:32 |
| windwhinny | Lasivian,"$startx" | 16:32 |
| Lasivian | but I can SSH in | 16:32 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: ok | 16:32 |
| onetinsoldier | thddx: try typing in --> reset | 16:32 |
| onetinsoldier | thddx: then try again | 16:32 |
| thddx | that works fine... however it is not a solution | 16:33 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: how many iterations of it do you want? | 16:33 |
| onetinsoldier | thddx: oh, i don't know then | 16:33 |
| thddx | i can also type ctl + L however, the problem persists | 16:33 |
| rajkalyan | can i get help with dl here? | 16:33 |
| sin | does anyone know an alternative bluetooth manager for 8.10 like blueman | 16:33 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: wait until its finished | 16:33 |
| malcom2073 | ok | 16:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: where'd you go? | 16:33 |
| thddx | so, everytime i scroll down a line in nano... i have to force a refresh | 16:33 |
| thddx | or it is illegible | 16:33 |
| Seveas | thddx, before starting nano, type this: | 16:34 |
| Seveas | export TERM=$TERM | 16:34 |
| thddx | i believe it is ncurses related... but not sure | 16:34 |
| Seveas | I know it sounds like nonsense but this has worked for me before | 16:34 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: http://rafb.net/p/63ewVR59.html | 16:34 |
| Fishy | hows http://www.amazon.com/Ubuntu-Unleashed-Andrew-Hudson/dp/0672329093 ... any good? | 16:35 |
| thddx | i'm using gentoo if that makes a difference | 16:35 |
| rajkalyan | can i get help with dreamlinux here? | 16:35 |
| rajkalyan | i can't find their irc channel | 16:35 |
| bazhang | rajkalyan, no, this is for ubuntu | 16:35 |
| rajkalyan | where is the one for dl? | 16:35 |
| Seveas | thddx, neh, I've seen it on ubuntu, debian, centos, red hat, gentoo and even solaris :) | 16:35 |
| Seveas | try #dreamlinux | 16:35 |
| Seveas | otherwise no idea :) | 16:35 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: you killed a big memory consumer? | 16:36 |
| bazhang | http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist rajkalyan look here | 16:36 |
| thddx | well, linux is linux IMO, but type what before nano? a colon? | 16:36 |
| rajkalyan | ok | 16:36 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: I've recently closed a bunch of firefox windows, because I was at near 100% ram and 50% swap | 16:36 |
| horstle | hi | 16:36 |
| onetinsoldier | rajkalyan: they may not have a channel on freenode, but perhaps on another IRC Network | 16:36 |
| bazhang | Fishy, please paste offtopic links in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:36 |
| rajkalyan | @_@ | 16:36 |
| rajkalyan | ick | 16:36 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: the 100% ram isn't an issue, it should be close to 100% | 16:36 |
| Seveas | malcom2073, 'using firefox' does not qualify as 'idle' | 16:36 |
| Seveas | especially if it | 16:36 |
| Seveas | 's a bunch of windows | 16:37 |
| malcom2073 | Seveas: I am idle now with ONLY xhcat open. that qualifies as idle | 16:37 |
| Seveas | probably with some flash and java content as wel :) | 16:37 |
| Seveas | malcom2073, air enough :) | 16:37 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: but this looks alright, you may want to put more real memory in the box | 16:37 |
| Fishy | its a book about ubuntu? | 16:37 |
| Seveas | fair* (keyboard on EEE stinks) | 16:37 |
| rajkalyan | it says "#dreamlinuxforums" on freenode | 16:37 |
| Fishy | isnt that on topic? | 16:37 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: why would ubuntu need more ram than vista to do the same stuff? | 16:37 |
| rajkalyan | but theres no one there | 16:37 |
| bazhang | Fishy, its not a support issue | 16:37 |
| windwhinny | i can get online with the same hardware settings in windows and suse(with ifup) but not in ubuntu. can anyone help me on this problem? what more information should i give you? | 16:37 |
| malcom2073 | And why would my ram sit at 50% while idling, when I first booted it was at like 20$ | 16:37 |
| malcom2073 | 20% | 16:37 |
| Lasivian | how can I login to X over ssh? | 16:38 |
| RandyLahee | anyone know about booting a "successful" installation from a USB drive? | 16:38 |
| Lasivian | if that's even possible | 16:38 |
| Seveas | rajkalyan, then you're out of luck I'm afraid. If your problem isn't dreamlinux specific we may be able to help, what's the prob? | 16:38 |
| Gnea | !usb | 16:38 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 16:38 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: ubuntu != windows, there is a lot more running that windows just doesn't has | 16:38 |
| rajkalyan | sorry its dl | 16:38 |
| Ward1983 | Seveas, use a G15 keyboard on your EEE :p | 16:38 |
| RandyLahee | thanks ubottu | 16:38 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: linux handles memory differently than windows | 16:38 |
| bazhang | rajkalyan, well try #ubuntu-offtopic or their support channel not here | 16:38 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: ok, why would ubuntu be so much more of a memory hog than fedora? or than my friends intrepid? he dosent have this problem on his | 16:38 |
| rajkalyan | eee? | 16:38 |
| Chaorain | I have a problem rebooting. I looked it up online and it said to add "reboot=b" to '/boot/grub/menu.lst' so I did and it worked but no its broken again any help? | 16:38 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: but his behaviour is also common on windows | 16:38 |
| rajkalyan | eeepc? | 16:38 |
| Seveas | Ward1983, I don't know what that is, but an external keyboard is not an option. I'm in a train :) | 16:39 |
| sin | does anyone know an alternative bluetooth manager for 8.10 like blueman | 16:39 |
| Ward1983 | Seveas, it was a joke, its a massive gaming keyboard with extra keys and a LCD | 16:39 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: because you're more demanding for more memory? | 16:39 |
| Seveas | Ward1983, heh :) | 16:39 |
| Lasivian | X is already stared on the target machine and waiting for a username/password, but I can't vnc to the target until X is started | 16:39 |
| Lasivian | er, until someone is logged in | 16:39 |
| betim | i've changed settings using gnome-display-properties; I just need to know where it stores the settings? | 16:39 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: ubuntu uses gnome, which is a known memory-hog. taking notice of the system requirements, 256megs is the bare minimum. xubuntu or elivecd might be better if he has low memory. | 16:40 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea I have 2 gigs, that oughta be plenty. | 16:40 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: indeed. so what's taking up 50%? | 16:40 |
| RandyLahee | i have two gigs right now | 16:40 |
| malcom2073 | But I can't open say, 5 firefox windows and 3 PDF viewers on my pc without going to 100% ram | 16:40 |
| RandyLahee | running fine | 16:40 |
| asterslash | how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ? | 16:40 |
| Seveas | Lasivian, make gdm on the target accept xdmcp connections and use gdm locally to login on the remote machine via xdmcp | 16:40 |
| malcom2073 | and it gets worse with time | 16:40 |
| Seveas | Lasivian, alternatively: make gdm autologin on the remote machine :) | 16:40 |
| reso | I'll give you 2 gigs in a minute | 16:40 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: according to system monitor, nothing | 16:40 |
| Ward1983 | Seveas, http://farm1.static.flickr.com/76/228691581_11e4973507.jpg (G15) | 16:40 |
| thddx | give gentoo a try... you will learn a lot, and your machine will only have what you choose to install | 16:41 |
| Lasivian | whoa... | 16:41 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: did you actually open it up and look at the process list? | 16:41 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: if you have 20 sites open with flash and all then its going down hard | 16:41 |
| * Lasivian goes to look up what all that is, heh | 16:41 | |
| bazhang | !offtopic | 16:41 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 16:41 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: yes. | 16:41 |
| bazhang | take chat elsewhere please | 16:41 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: okay, try opening a terminal and using the top command | 16:41 |
| malcom2073 | hspaans: It gets worse with time though | 16:41 |
| malcom2073 | after rebooting it works fine for a while | 16:41 |
| Gnea | also, firefox is more of a memory hog than anything else | 16:41 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: xorg is taking up 400megs of virtual, but real memory shows 60 megs | 16:41 |
| Seveas | Ward1983, the tri-screen setup is nice. Not portable enough for train though ;) | 16:41 |
| Gnea | if you're opening more than 1 instance of firefox, you're doing something wrong | 16:41 |
| ThJ | My MySQL 5.1 Server is broken. It refuses to start now. I'm looking at a whole load of these in my syslog whever I try to start it: Dec 30 16:43:42 d3 kernel: [13722948.371237] audit(1230651822.275:90): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" name="/sys/devices/system/cpu/" pid=11499 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" namespace="default" | 16:42 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: But why would it get worse with time? | 16:42 |
| malcom2073 | As in, when I first boot my computer I can open say, 20 windows. a week later I can only open 5 before it swaps | 16:42 |
| malcom2073 | for example. | 16:42 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: this, again, is how the linux virtual memory works - the 400megs you see is cumulative of all of the child process, in addition to xorg itself | 16:42 |
| Ward1983 | Seveas, i meant they keyboard but yeah :p | 16:42 |
| ThJ | It's been running since before another admin on my system made the mistake of chown'ing a bunch of files in the file system root. | 16:42 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: xorg itself is not using 400megs | 16:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: where are you? | 16:42 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: there is only 60m used, the 400m is projected memory is may use in the future | 16:42 |
| ThJ | It was of course restarted in the course of an apt-get upgrade, and now it won't start again. | 16:43 |
| malcom2073 | So could it be keeping that memory allocated? | 16:43 |
| Seveas | ThJ, chown /var/lib/mysql back to the mysql user | 16:43 |
| Gnea | if there are processes running for extended amounts of time, yes | 16:43 |
| Seveas | ThJ, you might need /var/log/mysql and some other places too | 16:43 |
| Neurologic | sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440 | 16:43 |
| Neurologic | What does this mean? | 16:43 |
| Ward1983 | some guy twonk was in #linux earlyer he overwrite his vista bootloader with grub (and it was on a fakeraid raid0 array) please help him out should he return, he left too fast to get help but he seemed a bit panicked about his data | 16:43 |
| Seveas | Neurologic, that you didn't use visudo to edit the sudoers file, which is bad | 16:44 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: But why would the system get worse with time? | 16:44 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: Change the authorization for /etc/sudoerrs to r--r----- | 16:44 |
| mooperd | Hi, I have just installed ubuntu and I am getting error "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VSF: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" | 16:44 |
| TimothyP | Hi, I'm trying to recover a root password on a ubuntu desktop, forums state to simply boot in recovery mode or pass single to the kernel parameters, but then it still asks: Give root password for maintenance (or type Control+D to continue) | 16:44 |
| mooperd | I dont think linux can use my disc controller | 16:44 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: "sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoerrs" | 16:44 |
| bazhang | TimothyP, there is no root password | 16:44 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: if you leave firefox running, that will happen - it's a problem with firefox | 16:44 |
| TimothyP | yeah I know | 16:44 |
| TimothyP | sorry | 16:44 |
| TimothyP | I want to recover the password of my sudo enabled user | 16:44 |
| Seveas | TimothyA, use these bootparams: single init=/bin/bash | 16:44 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: no, if I close firefox entirely, my ram usage does not go down. | 16:44 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, Still here | 16:44 |
| malcom2073 | And next time I open it, it goes up even further than the first time | 16:45 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, sorry about that | 16:45 |
| asterslash | how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ? | 16:45 |
| malcom2073 | eventually making the computer near unusable | 16:45 |
| ThJ | Seveas: they all seem to be owned by mysql already. | 16:45 |
| TimothyP | Seveas I'll try that :) | 16:45 |
| malcom2073 | over like a week or two | 16:45 |
| Neurologic | norbert79, I can't use any sudo command, it returns that error | 16:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: ok, np | 16:45 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: are you sure you nailed the root firefox pid? | 16:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: first! sudo -i and enter password if needed, then run this command --> find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type f | xargs rm -v | 16:45 |
| malcom2073 | yes, firefox is currently not running at all | 16:45 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: Switch to root then | 16:45 |
| malcom2073 | unless it runs under another name | 16:45 |
| Seveas | ThJ, then check the mysql error log. It's usually quite specific about what it doesn't like | 16:45 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: how do you verify this? | 16:45 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: use su - | 16:45 |
| malcom2073 | system monitor and top | 16:46 |
| malcom2073 | and also doing a killall | 16:46 |
| malcom2073 | heh | 16:46 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, Just ran it | 16:46 |
| Seveas | TimothyA, alternatively, boot from a live cd and search www.kaarsemaker.net/downloads/code/ for my password reset script | 16:46 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, It said rm: missing operand | 16:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: are you certain gnash is uninstalled? what's the output of? --> dpkg -l '*gnash*' | 16:46 |
| Gnea | and it doesn't show up with: ps axf | grep firefox ? | 16:46 |
| ThJ | Seveas: the log files are all empty, for some reason or the other. | 16:46 |
| malcom2073 | it's not just firefox that does this. VLC for instance increases ram usage, andthen when I close it, it dosent go down to its origional level | 16:46 |
| illmortal | what's up guys! I have a question... is it possible to "burn" the ubuntu Live CD onto a USB thumb drive? I don't have a CD drive and I would love to install Ubuntu onto my hard drive using a thumb drive. Is this possible? | 16:46 |
| tsg_ | g2g I'd appreciate, if some one of you migh have a look at my post and maybe post something there thank you | 16:46 |
| ThJ | Seveas: seems to be commented out in my.cnf | 16:46 |
| malcom2073 | It does show up | 16:47 |
| reso | illmortal: yes | 16:47 |
| malcom2073 | odd | 16:47 |
| ThJ | Seveas: guess i'll try to uncomment that. | 16:47 |
| malcom2073 | but it says no such process when I try to kill that | 16:47 |
| tsg_ | this one (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6462032&posted=1#post6462032 ) | 16:47 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: usually, it will cache the data in memory for a certain amount of time... when that time passes, it clears the cache | 16:47 |
| tsg_ | cu thank you for help | 16:47 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: memory is also used for other things as well | 16:47 |
| tsg_ | exit | 16:47 |
| ThJ | Seveas: wait, line below it says: # Error logging goes to syslog. This is a Debian improvement :) | 16:47 |
| Neurologic | norbert79, that's not working, any password I put in it gives me authentication failures | 16:47 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: are you sure it's not just the 'grep firefox' pid that you're seeing? | 16:47 |
| illmortal | reso... the only information i can find is about running linux off of the thumb drive, how would it be possible to install ubuntu using the thumb drive? | 16:47 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: Because you havent set any password for root yet then | 16:47 |
| malcom2073 | Heh nope, that's what I'm seeing :) | 16:47 |
| malcom2073 | good call | 16:47 |
| Seveas | ThJ, that is correct | 16:48 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, http://paste.ubuntu.com/96084/ | 16:48 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: can you paste the line that you actually are seeing please? | 16:48 |
| Seveas | should be in /var/log somewhere (I have no mysql server handy to confirm) | 16:48 |
| Neurologic | norbert79, okay...so how do I set a root password then? | 16:48 |
| malcom2073 | 21842 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep firefox | 16:48 |
| malcom2073 | tis the grep firefox command :P | 16:48 |

| reso | illmortal: not the greatest example link, but just one I could find - http://www.pcmech.com/article/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-with-no-optical-drive/ | 16:48 |
| malcom2073 | I don't mind high ram usage. I mind when the computer becomes unusable after 2 weeks | 16:48 |
| Seveas | ThJ, if you don't get it fixed before 18:00 UTC (an hour from now), Feel free to poke me again, I can be much more helpful at that time :) | 16:49 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: well, you have no sudo authority, and no password for root... Looks like you have to blank the password for root in /etc/shadow, and reboot in recovery mode and set one | 16:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: i did --> cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins && touch flashplugin-alternative.so ...and then did what i instructed you to do with the sudo -i and find command. it worked with no error. try ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so | 16:49 |
| reso | I did it using a different guide though, just looking through it for that. I remember it being a little bit of a pita | 16:49 |

| wuzle | anyone a mdadm guru (software raid)? | 16:49 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: yep.and stray sessions of the pdf viewer I was using because its a memory hog too | 16:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: also do... dpkg --purge gnash-common | 16:49 |
| Seveas | !anyone | wuzle | 16:49 |
| ubottu | wuzle: 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? | 16:49 |
| duffydack | there is an about:config setting that is supposed to fix memory leaks... | 16:49 |

| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, You want the output from the ls? | 16:50 |
| Neurologic | norbert79, I can't open /etc/shadow | 16:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: yes | 16:50 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: well, movies and documents tend to scale in size | 16:50 |
| Neurologic | norbert79, no permission =P | 16:50 |
| Seveas | ThJ, those apparmor errors look odd. Maybe try disabling apparmor? | 16:50 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: Yes, this is why you have to use your Ub untu install CD | 16:50 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: but one would assume eventually that memory would be freed after closing the program, instead of piling up until ram is at 100% and all operations are in swap | 16:50 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: boot up with that, go inside your installed Ubuntu, and blank the password with editing it with gedit | 16:51 |
| Neurologic | norbert79, ah ok... | 16:51 |

| wuzle | I have a software raid (mdadm, mirrored), and I wanna try something that could ruin my filetables. Is it possible to remove one drive, try the potentially destructive behavior, and then use the removed drive to rebuild things? | 16:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: if it's just one single line, you don't have to pastebin it | 16:51 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, kk | 16:51 |
| Seveas | wuzle, only if you back up your data first so you can recover from backup if needed :) | 16:52 |

| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: do... dpkg --purge gnash-common | 16:52 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, Also, I had uninstalled the adobe flash plugin right when we started to see if that would fix the problem. Not sure if this helps | 16:52 |
| wuzle | seveas, but I have 2 mirrored drives, and take one out of the raid to try the bug, won't I be safe? | 16:52 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, I did that already | 16:52 |
| Gnea | malcom2073: it is possible to alter the behavior of the way the kernel handles memory and improve the performance... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178618 and http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2114123,00.asp are pretty good and getting into the guts of it | 16:52 |

| Neurologic | norbert79, ok, I'll brb then =) Thanks | 16:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: ok... cool | 16:53 |
| ThJ | Seveas: Unless of course there is something more I need to do than /etc/init.d/apparmor stop to disable AppArmor... | 16:53 |
| norbert79 | Neurologic: Good luck, secury /etc/shadow before doing modifications | 16:53 |
| malcom2073 | Gnea: But why am I the only one having this problem? I'm sure everyones computers dont run out of ram after 2 weeks | 16:53 |

| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: ok... make sure you have a root prompt with --> sudo -i | 16:55 |

| onetinsoldier | what is moonlight? | 17:04 |
| ThJ | Seveas: what the fsck is apparmor anyway? o.o | 17:04 |
| Seveas | mlester, afaik it should, but there are no packages | 17:04 |
| mlester | moonlight is the mono equivalent of silverlight | 17:04 |
| Gnea | Seveas: heh, well, I'm struggling to get it to work right at the moment... I noticed that packages are up on ppa.launchpad now, so I was wondering if this was relevent anymore or not: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages | 17:04 |
| Seveas | ThJ, mandatory access control for linux. Read its wikipedia page for more | 17:05 |
| onetinsoldier | mlester: Oh...ok. thank you :) | 17:05 |
| ThJ | Seveas: is it like SELinux? | 17:05 |
| mlester | Seveas: should I just download the rpm or a debian package | 17:05 |
| Seveas | Gnea, that wiki url is far from relevant to anything that's hardy or newer | 17:05 |
| ldiamond | How do I add a network printer in ubuntu? | 17:05 |
| Gnea | Seveas: understood, thanks :) | 17:05 |
| Seveas | mlester, if you can find a debian package: use it | 17:05 |
| Seveas | thj: yes | 17:05 |
| ThJ | Seveas: ah, gotcha | 17:05 |
| onetinsoldier | Paradoxx: working for you yet? | 17:06 |
| ldiamond | Actually, my question should be "What package do I need to get the printing config menu in the System menu" | 17:06 |
| Paradoxx | onetinsoldier, nope | 17:06 |
| g0r8y | is it bad if xorg is loading dri and glx when useing the nvidia kernel modules? | 17:06 |
| hspaans | malcom2073: but memory works differently then windows nt, which uses a half implemented openvms specification | 17:06 |
| Seveas | ThJ, with the difference that selinux as shipped by red hat and the like always ends up disabled due to being annoying and apparmor in ubuntu actually being reasonably tuned to reality | 17:06 |

| neurologic | bastid_raZor: I'm on the livecd right now, so I should change the permissions of sudoers? | 17:20 |
| mrwes | how do you break sudo? | 17:20 |
| neurologic | genii: well, the person I was talking to before told me I can like...chmod 044 or something and fix the sudoers file | 17:21 |
| bastid_raZor | neurologic; didn't you say it has the wrong permissions earlier? mount your / drive and make the changes | 17:21 |
| g0r8y | Hi there, i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - only the nvdia-config has modified my xorg.conf and there are no signs of bad stuff happening in the xorg.log | 17:21 |
| neurologic | bastid_raZor: yeah it said something like it was 0664 instead of 0440 or something | 17:21 |
| KoolD | can someone name a good cd burner | 17:21 |
| genii | neurologic: 3 lines actually... eg: Defaults env_reset and: root ALL=(ALL) ALL and another line of: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL And yes should be permissions like 644 or such | 17:21 |
| RivitingOne | Where can I find a good up to date Walkthrough on steps to take after a brand new install to get all the normal functionality that ubuntu doesn't come with. Dvd playback, NTFS access, the ability to have sound on two applications at once, possibly something that can display a .gif. | 17:21 |
| bazhang | !burners > KoolD | 17:22 |
| ubottu | KoolD, please see my private message | 17:22 |
| fosco__ | KoolD, brasero on gnome or k3b on kde | 17:22 |
| neurologic | genii: but that was the error I was getting in the terminal, that I couldn't use the sudoers because it was set to 66 something instead of 0440 or whatever | 17:22 |
| mrwes | RivitingOne: I believe the forums have an 'ultimate media installation guide' | 17:22 |
| KoolD | thanks a lot | 17:22 |

| bazhang | RivitingOne, ubuntu-restricted-extras and two packages from medibuntu | 17:23 |
| ldiamond | How do I get the "Printing" menu in System->Administration ???? | 17:23 |
| genii | neurologic: Boot to recovery mode kernel. Then issue: chmod 440 /etc/sudoers | 17:23 |
| mrwes | bazhang: yah..I forgot ubuntu-restricted-packages make it easy | 17:24 |
| venger | having trouble setting up CUPS, i have the printer installed but even when i go to http://server:631 on the server itself and do a print test page, i get an authentication dialog which will not accept any known credentials. I've read the admin portions of the interface may be disabled in ubuntu by default. Also there is no cups[sys] user after installation which i believe would need to be in the shadow group for basic authentication to work. can anyone | 17:24 |
| Dan | this irc only speak inglish? | 17:24 |
| neurologic | genii: ok, how do I boot into a recovery mode? | 17:24 |
| thebloggu | hspaans, have you seen the post ? | 17:24 |

| ubottu | Dan: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 17:24 |
| bazhang | Dan, #ubuntu-es for espanol | 17:24 |
| Dan | ups... | 17:24 |
| Dan | thanks! | 17:24 |
| genii | neurologic: Hit esc during grub. Choose the recovery kernel line. Then boot to that. Issue the chmod line. Then after: telinit 2 | 17:24 |
| storrgie | I am using ubuntu on my media center with a 50" plasma 1080p display. I would like everything to be 'larger' in windows I would adjust the DPI... is there a comparable adjustment in linux? | 17:25 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: right click on the system menu and then goto administration and check the printer icon | 17:25 |
| duffydack | storrgie: yeah, adjust the dpi :) | 17:25 |
| storrgie | duffydack: figured as much, where would I find this? | 17:26 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: right click on the system menu and then goto edit and then administration and check the printer icon | 17:26 |
| neurologic | genii: what does telinit 2 do? O_o | 17:26 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, the printing menu is not there either, I'm missing the package | 17:26 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, but I have absolutely no idea what the package name is. | 17:26 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: cups is missing? | 17:26 |
| genii | neurologic: telinit 2 puts the computer into multi-user mode from single-user mode ("recovery") | 17:26 |
| mrwes | !cups | 17:26 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 17:26 |
| storrgie | Is it difficult to get the optical audio to work in ubuntu? | 17:26 |
| tewmten | quick question: is there no BitchX package in ubuntu's repos?? | 17:26 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, gnome-cups-manager seemed to be the right one, but I cant get this package (it can only be referenced by other packages) | 17:27 |
| g0r8y | Hi there, i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - i have tried setting a manual resloution in xorg.conf but i dont think this is issue | 17:27 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, I have cups installed | 17:27 |
| tewmten | cant find it on packages.ubuntu.com =O | 17:27 |
| neurologic | genii: ah ok. well thanks. I'll brb hopefully | 17:27 |
| bazhang | tewmten, irssi instead | 17:27 |
| tewmten | bazhang: no I was asking for BitchX | 17:27 |
| duffydack | storrgie: i dont actually know for SURE but appearance options, fonts/details | 17:27 |
| storrgie | g0r8y: there is a hack to get that working properly, you have to enter the lspci information into xorg.conf before restarting | 17:27 |
| duffydack | never adjusted it | 17:27 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: I dunno....cups worked after the basic installation I didn't have to add anything | 17:28 |
| g0r8y | storrgie: awesome ty, that should be enough to goolge=) | 17:28 |
| AngryElf | how do I find out what package a given file is in? | 17:28 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, I installed from the alternate CD and did a minimal installation with no window manager | 17:28 |
| storrgie | g0r8y: if i remember right you just have to do an lspci and enter the busid in the xorg.conf file under the video adaptor.... | 17:28 |
| onetinsoldier | AngryElf: dpkg -S <path_to_file> | 17:28 |
| storrgie | g0r8y: when u find the link will you send it to me, i should have that bookmarked | 17:29 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client | 17:29 |

| ubottu | Dan: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 17:30 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, still nothing :( | 17:30 |
| g0r8y | Storrgie: will do - by doing that am i basicly overideing something automatic, my x.org.conf seems very barren compared to my previous installs | 17:30 |
| Dan | thanks onerinsoldier :D | 17:30 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 17:30 |
| Dan | one question | 17:30 |
| Dan | how to enabled wireless atheros on Ubuntu 8.10? | 17:31 |
| storrgie | g0r8y: well kinda, your just identifying the hardware in the xorg.conf, only adding a single line | 17:31 |
| HideousNashimoto | Hey, I need to burn 7.9 GB of data to dual layer 8.5 GB DVD, but Ubuntu is F*** me in the brain with some stupid!!!!!!! | 17:31 |
| bazhang | HideousNashimoto, no cursing here | 17:31 |
| HideousNashimoto | It say that there is not enough room on DVD | 17:31 |
| HideousNashimoto | Can you tell me some good software for burning | 17:31 |
| bazhang | !burners > HideousNashimoto | 17:31 |
| ubottu | HideousNashimoto, please see my private message | 17:31 |
| Dan | the card is a atheros ar242x | 17:32 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: try this link...https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/cups.html | 17:32 |
| g0r8y | Storrgie: yeah im used to doing that stuff previously but thought that might be the wrong approach now as the config file was so empty | 17:32 |
| Dan | not can enabled on ubuntu 8.10 | 17:32 |
| ardchoille | HideousNashimoto: nautilus hasn't let me down as far as burning yet :) | 17:32 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Hey all :) | 17:32 |
| HideousNashimoto | Well I can't it say that I need to pud DVD R-L | 17:32 |
| HideousNashimoto | in it | 17:32 |
| HideousNashimoto | Even though I put it | 17:32 |
| ardchoille | HideousNashimoto: perhaps give brasero a try? you should already have that | 17:33 |
| bazhang | Dan, the ubuntu wiki has a link for that | 17:33 |
| Neurologic | genii, Thank you so much!!! | 17:33 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, All I want is to add the printing menu so I can configure my network printer using GUI | 17:33 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Just wondering, I'm a beginner with Ubuntu. Is there some way I can just install a plugin/addon/mod to ubuntu that will allow me to run Windows Programs as easily as I can with WinXP? | 17:33 |
| HideousNashimoto | I tried brasero also, it *** me about some oversized thing also | 17:33 |
| Dan | please someone can help me with my card? | 17:33 |
| Neurologic | genii, everything works, and I remembered my root password! XD | 17:33 |
| genii | Neurologic: Glad to see you're back on track :) | 17:34 |
| HideousNashimoto | And that medium is not available for writing with current set of plugins | 17:34 |
| fosco__ | NintendoGuy0, you can use wine | 17:34 |
| bazhang | NintendoGuy0, check the appdb | 17:34 |

| Dan | please someone can help me with my card atheros on Ubuntu? | 17:34 |
| bazhang | NintendoGuy0, no it does not. it is software. | 17:34 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Oh? | 17:34 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I thought it said on the website it did. | 17:35 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: you're confusing cedega with the main wine tree | 17:35 |
| captainm | NintendoGuy0: You can use wine (it's free, really!) or a virtuall machine like virtuallbox | 17:35 |

| Dan | only need module for atheros ar242x | 17:36 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Alright. | 17:36 |
| captainm | NintendoGuy0: depends on the software you're trying to run | 17:36 |
| sky_ | NintendoGuy0: why you use linux if you use windows program here ? | 17:36 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: did you try the webgui ? | 17:37 |
| sky_ | if you want use there windows apps | 17:37 |
| Dan | what link? | 17:37 |
| NintendoGuy0 | sky_, because | 17:37 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: I actuall use that...works pretty good | 17:37 |
| zeld | there is a dettailed how to?? where is explained good? | 17:37 |
| NintendoGuy0 | For one, I'm sick of Windows. | 17:37 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, I'm trying to add the network printer but I dont really know how to locate it. | 17:37 |
| ardchoille | I need a command line ftp client and am open to suggestions | 17:37 |
| zeld | i don't want nm-applet password manager | 17:37 |
| bastid_raZor | ardchoille; scp ? | 17:37 |
| sky_ | NintedoGuy0: and which programes ? i use wine only for gaming :P | 17:37 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Two, I have bluescreen on my other computer, and I don't want to bother buying XP or Vista | 17:38 |
| bazhang | sky_, NintendoGuy0 please take game chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:38 |
| fosco__ | ardchoille, lftp | 17:38 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: did you fire up your web browser and goto http://localhost:631 and then hit add printer? | 17:38 |
| NintendoGuy0 | is this really off-topic? | 17:38 |
| storrgie | g0r8y: find it yet? | 17:38 |
| zeld | NintendoGuy0: remove vista and Xp ;) increase your disck space :) | 17:38 |
| zeld | s/disck/disk | 17:38 |
| NintendoGuy0 | zeld, what do you mean..? | 17:39 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, yes | 17:39 |
| mrwes | and? | 17:39 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I'm sorry | 17:39 |
| zeld | nothing :) | 17:39 |
| Dan | :S | 17:39 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I cant stress how uneducated I am with this sort of stuff. | 17:39 |
| sky_ | NintendoGuy0: wine is really simple...just click on exe and enjoy :D | 17:39 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Oh, thanks sky | 17:39 |
| NintendoGuy0 | that's what I meant. | 17:39 |
| ardchoille | bastid_raZor: that would be hugely hindered by my faulty memory | 17:39 |
| zwobble | hey there, managed to get my beamer working :)... just one quick question: How do i remove the "Laptop 15" notice | 17:39 |
| zwobble | its at the top left of my scren | 17:40 |
| bastid_raZor | ardchoille; rsync ? | 17:40 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I didnt really want to have to open up an emulator program in Ubuntu and go searching for the Windows program. | 17:40 |
| captainm | ardchoille: I like lftp | 17:40 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: and then fill in the required information, like Printer Name, Location and Description | 17:40 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I'll give WINE a go, thanks! | 17:40 |
| ardchoille | fosco__: lftp, eh? and it's already installed :) | 17:40 |
| ardchoille | I think ubuntu ships with lftp | 17:40 |
| sky_ | NintendoGuy0: wine is not an emulator xD | 17:40 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, That's what I dont know how to fill. Anyways, I need to print something right now (a form that cant be saved). So I'm now trying to print it to PDF | 17:41 |
| NintendoGuy0 | sky_, I heard that technically, WINE is an emulator | 17:41 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: what is the pritner connected to? | 17:41 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, I just added a PDF printer, but it doesnt work when I try to print to it from Acrobat Reader | 17:41 |
| NintendoGuy0 | But I've no right to argue, I haven't the slightest clue | 17:41 |
| zwoble | beamer works :) | 17:41 |
| duffydack | its more of a wrapper | 17:41 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: if it was an emulator, XP and Vista would be completely obsolete | 17:41 |
| venger | NintendoGuy0, #winehq winehq.org --- wine is a compatibility layer, a translator at best | 17:41 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, to a ubuntu desktop machine. | 17:41 |
| cmdbbq | NintendoGuy0: wine is a compatability layer, so it is and it isn't | 17:42 |
| captainm | NintendoGuy0: wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator ;) | 17:42 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, but lets juts add a PDF printer for now | 17:42 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, Ill worry about the network printer later. | 17:42 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: same machine or another? | 17:42 |
| ldiamond | mrwes, Another machine | 17:42 |
| mrwes | ldiamond: er.. then use internet printing protocol | 17:42 |
| bastid_raZor | Gnea; XP and Vista are already obsolete.. ;P | 17:42 |
| NintendoGuy0 | @Gnea, sorry, what do you mean if it was an emulator, XP & Vista would be obselete? | 17:42 |

| Seveas | NintendoGuy0, upgrade to 8.10 if you can get a cd with packages. It won't magiaclly fix all your problems but dial-up is much easier | 17:45 |
| duffydack | cant you even get satellite or some 3G dongle | 17:45 |

| mib_3y96cp | well, i know that, but do you guys have an idea of when that might happen? | 17:47 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: it's getting better in rural areas | 17:47 |
| NintendoGuy0 | It's still not very good. | 17:47 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I'm in a relatively rural area. | 17:47 |
| Gnea | so am I | 17:47 |
| Gnea | depends who your provider is and who's doing the work | 17:47 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Gnea, ever heard of AirWire? | 17:47 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved. | 17:48 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: nope, they a baby-bell? | 17:48 |
| venger | echo "test"| lp -dML-2010 yields lp: Not allowed to print. user is in lpadmin group, printer is accepting requests and idle. what should I do? | 17:48 |
| nat2610 | I don | 17:48 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I'm not sure what Baby-bell means, but they're definitely inefficient. | 17:48 |
| Seveas | baybel? cheese? | 17:48 |
| Dan | can make an automatic script wifi in ubuntu? | 17:48 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: allow me to rephrase - cable or dsl? :) | 17:48 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Erm, allowing my inexperience to break through here; It was wireless. I think LAN or something. | 17:49 |
| ultraren | weird, my laptop's wifi kept timing out until i set up wifi security | 17:49 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: and a 'baby-bell' is a small telephone company that nobody's heard of | 17:49 |
| mib_3y96cp | hey, again, anyone knows how long will it take for the newest release of pidgin to be available? i'm sure someone here probably knows how's the progress on that going.. | 17:49 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Oh, thanks Gnea | 17:49 |
| NintendoGuy0 | they're big enough | 17:49 |
| Gnea | heh | 17:49 |
| bazhang | mib_3y96cp, perhaps next release | 17:49 |
| Seveas | mib_3y96cp, about april 2009, when jaunty is released | 17:49 |
| NintendoGuy0 | but they are way too expensive and the service is awful. | 17:49 |
| bazhang | mib_3y96cp, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro | 17:49 |
| nat2610 | I don't know what I did I was trying to find a shortcut and (alt + ctrl + <key>) and now everytime I open a new tab in firefox for example, the browser cover the 2 panel bars of gnome ... I don't think it's something in firefox, anybody what I pressed ? | 17:50 |
| nat2610 | and how can I stop that | 17:50 |
| mib_3y96cp | i didn't know there were so many bug fixes to be implemented | 17:50 |
| Dan | irc in spanish? | 17:50 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: most baby bells are using a wireless signal these days for rural access - since they're not part of a larger corporation, they can set and demand any price they want and get away with it | 17:50 |

| Seveas | ldiamond, search synaptic for cups-pdf and install that | 17:51 |

| ldiamond | Seveas, my problem isnt that simple. | 17:51 |
| bazhang | NintendoGuy0, was there a support question in there? | 17:51 |
| ldiamond | Seveas, I also have to repeat because nobody answers me. | 17:51 |

| mib_3y96cp | well, that sucks.. i love to use the whole apt-get thing for my updates.. don't like to go download software on 3rd party sites, you know? | 17:52 |
| bazhang | NintendoGuy0, please dont use the enter key after one word | 17:52 |
| ldiamond | Seveas, I dont even have the "Printing" option in System->Administration | 17:52 |

| NintendoGuy0 | anyways, I've set up the information (user password & username, IP, all that stuff) for my dial up connection, and then I click the Network icon in the bottom right of my screen | 17:53 |
| Seveas | bazhang, oh grow up. | 17:53 |

| Gnea | Kartagis: did you actually edit the config file to set it up? | 17:53 |
| bazhang | NintendoGuy0, is this pppoe | 17:53 |
| Seveas | ldiamond, well then you're rather on your own (or at least without my help :)) | 17:53 |
| Kartagis | Gnea, yes | 17:53 |

| Coloquialist | anyone available to assist me with a Problem mounting an HDD? | 17:57 |
| bazhang | Shammah, check the appdb | 17:57 |
| bazhang | !appdb > Shammah | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Shammah, please see my private message | 17:57 |
| Shammah | Bazhang: It's more of the drivers I think | 17:57 |
| NintendoGuy0 | Okay | 17:57 |
| ldiamond | Seveas, Its not like I'm spamming you idiotic kid. I have to repeat the question because nobody is answering it. I am waiting a reasonable time before asking again. If ure unhappy, just go outside for a bit... it'll help your mental health. | 17:58 |
| bazhang | Shammah, likely the appdb will tell what they used to run it; also see #winehq | 17:58 |
| NintendoGuy0 | *Woops, apologies for one-wording again. | 17:58 |
| nerdyperdy | i dld ubuntu from ubuntu and was wandering if i burned it to a disk and whiped out my hdd,will it boot and install from the disk??? | 17:58 |
| Shammah | Thing is, I get artifacts everywhere, and the appdb says the game should work good | 17:58 |
| rostaman | I'm with ldiamond | 17:58 |
| bazhang | Shammah, with compiz or not | 17:58 |
| Shammah | I also get 40FPS on loewst settings, while i get 120FPS on highest on Windows | 17:58 |
| Gnea | Kartagis: try setting a range, like this: range 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.5 | 17:58 |
| Seveas | ldiamond, read what uboty said. It also gives you alternatices for getting help. And calling someone an idiotic kid doesn't improve your chances of getting help... | 17:58 |
| Shammah | bazhang: Don't know. My window settingd are currently set to: Extra Effects | 17:58 |
| Shammah | Like wobbling windows | 17:59 |

| progre55 | hi everyone | 17:59 |
| ldiamond | Seveas, this is not a case of emergency. A few repeats was the only option here. | 17:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Shammah: what driver and version are you using in linux? never know, for that game it may be best to windows for it tho | 17:59 |
| rostaman | Eclipse would be the biggest thing I install I think | 17:59 |
| AshTray- | Aaa. can't install ebox. http://pastebin.com/m72d1e6da | 17:59 |
| Shammah | onetinsoldier: I use 8.12 prop drivers | 17:59 |

| Shammah | The latest | 17:59 |

| Shammah | :( | 18:00 |
| donkeykong | i used to work on .net studio rostaman. Its a crappy product | 18:01 |
| ldiamond | Gnea, I limit them according to how many people joined, how many lines were entered since last repeat and how much I need help quickly. | 18:01 |
| rostaman | it wore me out, DK | 18:01 |
| ldiamond | Gnea, this added up to around 3-4 mins | 18:01 |
| bazhang | AshTray-, for intrepid? think I saw a thread or two on ubuntuforums you may want to check there | 18:01 |
| Kartagis | Gnea, is this the same as range dynamic-bootp ip.ad.d.ress ip.ad.d.ress ? | 18:01 |

| Gnea | Kartagis: hrm, no. the 'range' is reserving a pool of ip's to use - since you're using .2 as dns and .1 as a router, clearly you wouldn't want those being in the default pool (1-254) | 18:04 |
| rostaman | Sev or donkeykong: Is there a preferred IDE for C++ dev on Debian, etc.? Vague question, I know. | 18:04 |

| NintendoGuy0 | I don't know what modem I have :l | 18:07 |
| Gnea | fisheater: it depends what's set in sources.list | 18:07 |
| bazhang | fisheater, is the cd in your sources.list? | 18:07 |
| bazhang | jinx | 18:08 |
| Gnea | NintendoGuy0: internal? | 18:08 |
| NintendoGuy0 | I have an Advent 7110 | 18:08 |
| fisheater | dang, i didnt ever think of it... let me check | 18:08 |
| Shammah | Hmmm | 18:08 |
| AshTray- | "ebox | 0.11.99-0ubuntu11 | intrepid/universe | source, all" That means ebox supports interpid. Still.. http://pastebin.com/m7f03a63a | 18:08 |
| NintendoGuy0 | It's an internal modem, yes | 18:08 |
| Seveas | fisheater, both. It reads the package list from the system you're on (so if you're on the live cd it does that) and packages from the internet or package cd's | 18:08 |
| === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 | ||

| bazhang | fisheater, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of cd | 18:08 |

| nDuff | Smilee, xubuntu, I'd think. | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Smilee: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 19:40 |

| Ben1 | I need to install linux on a 512 HDD. The only way to do it is via my xubuntu live cd. It only needs CLI, no gui rqd. any ideas? | 19:41 |
| lacax | Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96210/ | 19:41 |
| hak5fan | RivitingOne: didn't you have them working.... | 19:41 |
| zelda | Hey with that NAS stuff, couldnt he use 3 HDD and have all the /home on the second? | 19:41 |
| WebcamWonder | Ben1: What is a 512 HDD? 512 KB, 512 MB, 512 GB, 512 TB, 512 PB? | 19:41 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, Okay, I'll put together the modified default.pa; Make a back up of the old one before replacing it. | 19:41 |
| Ward1983 | Ben1, debootstrap? :) | 19:41 |
| Ben1 | 512MB... debootstrap???? | 19:42 |
| zelda | Set it all up with Gparted? | 19:42 |
| levidos | thanks WebcamWonder | 19:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | onetinsoldier: it is showing now as sdb1 but that cant be right eitherway i tried to mount it using this command sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb and it tells me device is not found any suggestions | 19:42 |
| WebcamWonder | levidos: No problems | 19:42 |
| RivitingOne | I have the proprietary one working now but all I did was click a check box that said use enable in the hardware drivers | 19:42 |
| Ward1983 | Ben1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot | 19:42 |
| WebcamWonder | Ben1: Alternative CD can do a CLI based install IIRC | 19:42 |
| hak5fan | RivitingOne: What video card brand and model do you have? | 19:42 |
| RivitingOne | hak5fan: Ati X800 | 19:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Pirate_Hunter: try... mount -t fat16 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb | 19:42 |
| Ward1983 | Ben1, or just a minimal install, there is some minimal CD for ubuntu too, i dont remember the exact name | 19:43 |
| onetinsoldier | Pirate_Hunter: if that doesn't work then try fat32 | 19:43 |
| zelda | RivitingOne: thats a nice card. I have the X850 Pro | 19:43 |
| Ward1983 | Ben1, or trow the old disk out and get a 20GB one for 5euro somewhere | 19:43 |
| onetinsoldier | Pirate_Hunter: or maybe it's vfat.. not sure | 19:43 |
| Ward1983 | or for free | 19:43 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, here is the modified /etc/pulse/default.pa => http://paste.ubuntu.com/96212/ | 19:43 |
| hak5fan | pastebin your current xorg.conf somewhere like pastebin.ca | 19:43 |
| Ben1 | webcamwonder the trouble is that I need to boot from a usb CD drive with a weird controller chip, xubuntu is one of very few capable of loading | 19:43 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: that won't fix anything | 19:43 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: ok | 19:44 |
| nicklas_ | öj | 19:44 |
| Kartagis | Package dhcpd has no installation candidate <--- what does this mean? | 19:44 |
| Flannel | !minimal | Ward1983, Ben1 | 19:44 |
| ubottu | Ward1983, Ben1: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:44 |
| raylu | onetinsoldier: the error is that /dev/sdb1 isn't found, so it's not a type issue | 19:44 |
| lacax | Ahadiel, thx i''ll try it out | 19:44 |
| RivitingOne | hak5fan: All it says is ATI accelerated graphics driver then a box for the checkmark and a little green check with the words in use by it | 19:44 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, k | 19:44 |
| === Sunny is now known as Simbaking3 | ||
| zelda | RivitingOne: THats what it should do. | 19:44 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, I've done the same thing on 2 other systems, and they both work perfectly. | 19:44 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: it means "dhcpd" isn't a package (or your repositories don't know about it anyway), in your case, it's not a package | 19:44 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: roger... | 19:44 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, The only problem is you can't change individual channel volumes. | 19:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | onetinsoldier: it just doesnt accept sdb1 | 19:44 |
| WebcamWonder | Kartagis: I think it comes with dhclient | 19:45 |
| hak5fan | RivitingOne: Pastebin the contents of /etc/x11/xorg.conf and send me the link | 19:45 |
| Ben1 | thanks flannel. I'll see if that will boot. | 19:45 |
| onetinsoldier | ok, so... sudo parted -l ..shows /dev/sdb1 ...yet /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist, hmmmm | 19:45 |
| The_Rebel | why is linux-kernel-devel missing from intrepid ibex.. | 19:45 |
| zelda | hak5fan: I had an issue with the autoconfig stuff messing up my xorg.conf. I had to use a 7.10 disk and ran the dkpg command to get it to work. | 19:46 |
| hak5fan | zelda: so it works now? | 19:46 |
| WebcamWonder | onetinsoldier: Does sudo fdisk -l also show this /dev/sdb1? | 19:46 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: have you run "sudo fdisk -l"? also, ls /dev/disk/* may help | 19:46 |
| lacax | so, then a system reboot... brb | 19:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | onetinsoldier: thats what it says just restarted anyway but yeah i need to mount it so i can get my previous xorg file | 19:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: ok | 19:47 |
| onetinsoldier | Pirate_Hunter: i hear ya. i just don't know what to think of that myself | 19:47 |
| zelda | Hak5Fan: yeah mines working fine. Its that autoconfigure crap. Tell him to disable that feature and try to dkpg in 8.10. if not throw in a live 7.10 disk and dpkg command, then copy and paste that in teh 8.10 xorg. | 19:47 |
| The_Rebel | why is linux-kernel-devel missing from intrepid ibex.. | 19:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | onetinsoldier: yah i guess trying to bring an old system to life is just hard | 19:48 |
| onetinsoldier | WebcamWonder: anything wrong with parted ?? imo, fdisk is ancient and outdated now, and shouldn't be used. just my opinion | 19:48 |
| RivitingOne | hak5fan: http://pastebin.com/d279f3f8e | 19:48 |
| zelda | hak5fan: yeah thats his problem. | 19:48 |
| WebcamWonder | onetinsoldier: I don't think so... It is more of a convention I guess | 19:48 |
| zelda | RivitingOne: Do you have a 7.10 live cd? | 19:48 |
| onetinsoldier | WebcamWonder: roger | 19:49 |
| RivitingOne | zelda: no, just the 8.04 I started with | 19:49 |
| zelda | RivitingOne: go download one. | 19:49 |
| zelda | get that going while your here talking. | 19:49 |
| zelda | I had the same issue you are having. | 19:49 |
| onetinsoldier | WebcamWonder: consdier replacing sudo fidsk -l -with- sudo parted -l ... :-) | 19:49 |
| Melio1 | how do i know what file system i'm running | 19:50 |
| Melio1 | and how do i use su - | 19:50 |
| RivitingOne | the entire live CD? | 19:50 |
| zelda | Does anyone know how to turn off that autoconfigure feature in xorg.conf? | 19:50 |
| Melio1 | when i try it, it sais authentication failure | 19:50 |
| WebcamWonder | onetinsoldier: :)... Last time I used any partiting utility was an eternity ago :D | 19:50 |
| zelda | RivitingOne: Yes. | 19:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: yeah tried that comamnd the usb is picked up but fdisk -l gives me sort of errors like showing the usb as different parts | 19:50 |
| onetinsoldier | WebcamWonder: i hear ya | 19:50 |
| Melio1 | RivitingOne: riveting | 19:50 |
| lacax | Ahadiel, i made a system reboot too, but still only two speakers work | 19:50 |
| JMS32 | How to know from what partition i m booted? | 19:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Melio1: simply type in... mount | 19:51 |
| Melio1 | onetinsoldier: thanks | 19:51 |
| rostaman_ | my new dual core CPU is always showing 100% util on one of the cores...I'm running Mint FWIW...is that right? | 19:51 |
| Melio1 | onetinsoldier: cool /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) | 19:51 |
| Melio1 | i need that to be ext2 | 19:51 |
| zelda | RivitingOne: DO you have a USB thumb drive? | 19:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Melio1: you're welcome... and for the su, i use sudo -i ..if i want a persistent root prompt | 19:51 |
| neo644 | For some reason, my arrow keys tend to get stuck and stay stuck for everything except browsing menus and file browsers until I log out. How can I fix this? | 19:51 |
| Melio1 | is there a defualt su - password | 19:51 |
| RivitingOne | zelda: yes | 19:51 |
| Melio1 | sudo -i will stick | 19:52 |
| zelda | good. | 19:52 |
| Melio1 | ok thanks | 19:52 |
| WebcamWonder | Melio1: Any particular reason why you want to downgrade from ext3 to ext2? | 19:52 |
| zelda | you'll need it | 19:52 |
| Melio1 | i'm going to convert this filesystem to ext2 | 19:52 |
| Squideshi | What is the difference between the "Add/Remove" option under "Applications" and the "Synaptic Package Manager" under "System > Administration"? | 19:52 |
| Melio1 | WebcamWonder: ext2 is faster/more efficent on ssd cards | 19:52 |
| Melio1 | this is an acer aspire one | 19:52 |
| Melio1 | it has an 8 gig ssd | 19:52 |
| neo644 | Synaptic is a bit more advanced | 19:52 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, Hrm. | 19:52 |
| sheep | Squideshi: add/remove is simpler and not as powerful | 19:52 |
| zelda | Add/Remove is worthless imo | 19:52 |
| WebcamWonder | Squideshi: Add/Remove programs only shows packages as programs. Synaptic shows all packages individually | 19:52 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, sudo apt-get install padevchooser; then run "padevchooser". | 19:52 |
| RivitingOne | zelda: ok so I am downloading 7.10 live CD? | 19:52 |

| === Tina7 is now known as gotami | ||

| Squideshi | OK. When I look in Synaptic Package Manager, I see three entries for most categories (i.e. Universe, Multiverse, etc.) What does this mean? | 19:54 |
| Ahadiel | lacax, left-click the icon it brings up, and go to Volume Control. | 19:54 |

| zelda | RivitingOne: make sure it sees your hardware, then copy the file to your usb drive. Load up 8.10 and get to terminal and copy/paste from the 7.10 file. That should help | 20:00 |
| lacax | Ahadiel, and here's mine http://omploader.org/vMTJvYQ | 20:00 |

| onetinsoldier | The_PHP_Jedi: i think it might only be an issue with certain model if integrated intel video card, not sure... but i've seen it before anyway | 20:08 |
| onetinsoldier | if = of | 20:09 |
| dim | bonsoir a tous | 20:09 |

| lacax | ahh, how can i set up my 5.1 soundsystem to be good? | 20:10 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | onetinsoldier, this mobo has the latest BIOS version (at least when I got it) :-/ | 20:10 |
| Ben1 | I need some help partitioning my 512mb hdd for mini.iso install.... do i need to specify 3 different partitions like on my ubuntu 8.04 desktop pc? | 20:10 |

| Lexvegas | Im thinking of getting a dell mini 12, but i want to get XP on it, so I can dual boot. Does anyone know if the wireless card it comes with is compatible with Ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| kazagistar | that's overkill. i only want to... | 20:10 |
| kazagistar | :P | 20:10 |
| onetinsoldier | The_PHP_Jedi: roger... it's all you can do. it can pretty much be ignored if you have the latest BIOS then | 20:11 |

| wbmj | Ben1: no | 20:11 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | onetinsoldier, thanks anyways. I'll do some more Googling based off that info | 20:11 |
| Abhaile | onetinsoldier: Would, "create a USB startup disk" work? | 20:11 |
| skalmo_2 | hello | 20:11 |
| onetinsoldier | Abhaile: you're welcome | 20:11 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | onetinsoldier, well, the thing is it's messing up the detection of my wifi card... :-/ | 20:11 |
| Ben1 | wbmj so if i just make one partition ubuntu can install and boot? | 20:11 |
| wbmj | Ben1:yes....you don't necessarily need a swap | 20:12 |
| Ben1 | ok cool thanks :) | 20:12 |
| wbmj | Ben1:np | 20:12 |
| onetinsoldier | The_PHP_Jedi: oh! hmmm, that's a bummer. you might keep asking how to solve this, don't repeat too often tho. or make a forum post, or do a lot of google searching | 20:12 |

| Ben1 | just out of curiosity... how big (mb) is the base system? | 20:14 |
| Flannel | Ben1: You mean a default install of Ubuntu? or the minimal ones? | 20:14 |
| Ben1 | minimal | 20:14 |
| Flannel | Ben1: Few hundred meg I believe. I don't have hard and fast numbers though | 20:15 |
| Ben1 | ok ta | 20:15 |
| nonix4 | default doesn't fit comfortably in 4 gigs | 20:16 |
| Flannel | nonix4: yes it does. Default install is right around 2G | 20:16 |
| nonix4 | Flannel: comfortably means surviving one month of updates w/out cleaning up manually :) | 20:16 |
| nonix4 | Flannel: yes, my virtual machine farm is using 4 gig images, and no, it ain't comfortable. | 20:17 |

| onetinsoldier | balanar391: you're at a console terminal now? | 20:20 |
| poboy975linux | hello, is this where I can ask for networking help? | 20:20 |
| lukasz | I thinkso | 20:21 |
| balanar391 | how do I go into rescue mode? | 20:21 |
| lvlint67 | balanar391, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:21 |
| lukasz | dunno sorry! | 20:21 |
| levidos | how can i check my battery level from the command prompt? | 20:21 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: are you're at a console terminal now? tty1 | 20:21 |

| mrwes | balanar391: hit ESC at the grub menu and choose rescue | 20:21 |
| sinbox | anyone here built fluxbox 1.1.1 0j 8.04? | 20:21 |

| balanar391 | thanks | 20:21 |
| onetinsoldier | ok | 20:21 |
| lukasz | I don't need to use a webcam on linux :D | 20:21 |
| nonix4 | samuraicrow: involves quite a few steps actually... last one of them is update-initramfs | 20:22 |
| lukasz | I am so glad I did dual Boot :D | 20:22 |
| samuraicrow | nonix: It was on a single hard drive. No RAID or anything. | 20:22 |
| wasert | hi I'm trying to program a system shutdown | 20:22 |
| wasert | I'm using at | 20:22 |
| wasert | but it does not seem to work | 20:22 |
| poboy975linux | hello, I have a network issue, I can ping all three comps on network. but cant share the internet connection from the laptop to other comps | 20:22 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: while at the console terminal, do --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop (if gdm is your display manager) | 20:23 |
| mrwes | wasert: with a crontab? | 20:23 |
| wasert | no, I'm typing for example: | 20:23 |
| JMS32_ | With what i can burn audio CD? | 20:23 |
| wasert | at 4:00pm Dec 30 | 20:23 |
| wasert | then I type | 20:23 |
| wasert | sudo shutdown -h now | 20:23 |
| wasert | my password | 20:23 |
| wasert | then Ctrl+D | 20:23 |
| FloodBot2 | wasert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:23 |
| guntbert | !enter | wasert | 20:23 |
| ubottu | wasert: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:23 |
| mrwes | heh... | 20:23 |
| wasert | and I get: job 9 at Tue Dec 30 15:20:00 2008 | 20:24 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: btw, you'll need sudo for that command | 20:24 |
| nonix4 | samuraicrow: 'k... mainly seen such issues w/ raid+lvm consisting of 5+ devices... but just one hd can be slow enough | 20:24 |
| balanar391 | yes i have sudo | 20:24 |
| lukasz | 160 gb Is More then enought for 2 operating systems :D | 20:24 |
| nDuff | wasert, is atd running? | 20:24 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: ok, did you get a response from that command? | 20:24 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: did it say OK ? | 20:24 |
| xun | hi, does anyone know why my laptop would just have the "dd" service running in the background(i don't think I've ran the "dd" command sinc the reboot)? it's taking 30% of my total cpu usage | 20:24 |
| wasert | nDuff, I don't know. I tried to do some tests and for example try: sudo apt-get update > file.txt . The file is created but blank | 20:25 |
| nDuff | wasert, if it's running, did it send you an email with the task output? | 20:25 |
| readygo | i have an intel 64-bit quadcore, should i use the amd64 disk image? | 20:25 |
| manja | how do I make my webcam work in skype? | 20:25 |
| onetinsoldier | readygo: yes | 20:25 |
| readygo | onetinsoldier: ok, thanks! | 20:25 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 20:25 |
| nDuff | wasert, if you want your at job to run as root, you should run "sudo at", not put the sudo inside the at job. | 20:25 |
| RivitingOne | Can anyone suggest a guide detailing steps to take after install? Programs, libraries, and other steps I need to take to get functionality near what I would expect on windows. | 20:25 |
| nonix4 | samuraicrow: if you have a look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, can you spot where it stops? | 20:26 |
| johannes_ | is there a command line tool to see the current cpu frequency? | 20:26 |
| wasert | nDuff, I can see this in /var/log/syslog: Dec 30 15:20:02 jelly atd[10701]: Exec failed for mail command: No such file or directory | 20:26 |
| nDuff | wasert, ahh; that's why you aren't getting failure reports | 20:26 |
| Slart | RivitingOne: oh.. you're already way past windows when the installer is finished =) | 20:26 |
| onetinsoldier | RivitingOne: i can send you my package list.. lol | 20:26 |
| wasert | ok I will try that, It's just that I saw that on ubuntuforums | 20:26 |
| Delvien | johannes_: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 20:26 |

| Slart | RivitingOne: is it anything special you want to do/fix? | 20:27 |
| nDuff | wasert, install mailx or such. | 20:28 |
| samuraicrow | nonix4: I'm not at my friend's computer at the moment but it usually pops up an interrupt message after about 5 seconds and will resume booting after exiting the shell. | 20:28 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: so, are you still in need of help? | 20:28 |
| Mimi | Hi all, is there a way i can share wireless from my laptop to my boyfriends laptop? (wifi to wifi card) we dont have a router | 20:28 |
| xun | does anyone know why my laptop would just run "dd" & "klogd" in the background by itself? they take a lot of CPU usage. thanks | 20:28 |
| nDuff | Mimi, you should be able to use ad-hoc wireless | 20:29 |
| balanar391 | onetin: yes I stopped the gnome | 20:29 |
| simpleos | hi all, would someone kindly help me compile a kernel? | 20:29 |
| nDuff | Mimi, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 20:29 |
| poboy975linux | hi I could use some help figuring out why internet is not being shared | 20:29 |
| n8tuser | poboy975linux - not shared by whom? | 20:30 |
| RivitingOne | Slart: Not really. When I first installed I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and I have added a lot of random stuff trying to get some functionality. Just thinking if I could start over I might have better results | 20:30 |
| wasert | nDuff, Thank you I tried with sudo at, and It worked. | 20:30 |
| guntbert | !kernel | simpleos | 20:30 |
| ubottu | simpleos: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 20:30 |
| manja | where do I get drivers for a creative webcam? | 20:30 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: ok, be a little responsive.. talk to me, let me know you're alive and kicking. next step is --> sudo Xorg -configure ...then look in either you home directory or in root's home directory for a file named 'xorg.conf.new' | 20:30 |
| RivitingOne | poboy975linux: Thanks, looks like what I was looking for | 20:30 |
| poboy975linux | I have a laptop that is connected to internet through wireless...I want to share that connection from ethernet on laptop to hub to other computers on network | 20:30 |
| mrwes | heh onetinsoldier | 20:30 |
| onetinsoldier | mrwes: howdy | 20:31 |
| mrwes | hello | 20:31 |
| nonix4 | samuraicrow: been a couple years since I've had to deal w/ such issues... but "find /etc/initramfs-tools/" and "man update-initramfs" should get you started :) | 20:31 |
| n8tuser | !ics | poboy975linux | 20:31 |
| ubottu | poboy975linux: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 20:31 |
| Mimi | nDuff, Yeah, I thought so ^^; so I went to WicD and hit "Create Ad-Hoc". It had an IP number in there, I gave it the name XMAS, and I didnt want security so I clicked ok.... Then it says 'Connected to XMAS at 0%" on *MY* laptop LOL | 20:31 |
| poboy975linux | Rivitingone, Itll will get you a lot of codecs and general tweaks to start with | 20:31 |
| balanar391 | onetinsoldier: i privated you, but I guess you didn't get the messages | 20:31 |
| === PatchLevel2 is now known as PatchLevel | ||
| balanar391 | onetinsoldier: i am in two different roooms so it takes a while to do what you tell me to | 20:31 |
| samuraicrow | nonix4: Thanks for the help! | 20:31 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: darned xchat.. it's supposed to give me a baloon pop-up when i get pm'd | 20:31 |
| balanar391 | onetinsoldier: hold on, i will try ur next command | 20:32 |
| poboy975linux | I have gone through the tutorils on both ics and tried firestarter and I can ping all comps on network, but oknly lapotop has internet. the other comps are not getting it...even though they can ping laptop as well | 20:32 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: but, just keep chat in here anyway | 20:32 |
| Slart | RivitingOne: if you tell us what kind of functionality you want perhaps we can give you some hints etc.. but it's really very personal.. not everyone wants their computer setup the same.. and if you compare a installed ubuntu system to a installed windows system you have way more stuff available on the ubuntu system... windows is pretty empty when nothing else is installed | 20:32 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: do you have libnotify? I think that is required in order for xchat to do popup messages | 20:33 |
| Slart | poboy975linux: have you enable ip routing? | 20:33 |
| manja | where do I get drivers for a creative webcam? | 20:33 |
| n8tuser | poboy975linux - what exactly have you done? anything with iptables? | 20:33 |
| WebcamWonder | !repeat | manja | 20:33 |
| ubottu | manja: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 20:33 |
| poboy975linux | I did edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and put in ip4 forward | 20:33 |
| GillyGilly2 | Hi, can someone help, have a 64bit processor but when i try to install 64bit ubuntu 7.10 using virtual pc (again, the 64bit version), i get a message telling me that my "cpu does not support long mode. use a 32bit distribution." Is there no way to fix this? | 20:33 |
| onetinsoldier | eseven73: it was working just yesterday. i don't know why it's not giving me a balloon pop-up today. itmade me check my settings... it's still set | 20:34 |
| poboy975linux | yeah there were two different instructions on iptables | 20:34 |
| n8tuser | poboy975linux - be more specific, exactly what you did? | 20:34 |
| nonix4 | samuraicrow: and better yet, "man initramfs-tools" has a pretty thorough description of the boot time scripts | 20:34 |
| n8tuser | !who | poboy975linux | 20:34 |
| ubottu | poboy975linux: 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 :) | 20:34 |
| eseven73 | onetinsoldier: ah ok | 20:34 |
| nDuff | manja, good question; depending on the model, it may be bundled with the kernel, or it may just not be available; since you aren't telling us the model of your webcam, we can't help you more than that. | 20:34 |
| SudoKing | Hi, my sound card is enabled, using Xine, and everything seems ok, but the sound isn't working. It seems to do this after some period of time of inactivity. Any ideas? :? | 20:34 |
| onetinsoldier | eseven73: almost makes me wonder is turning off the gnome-screensaver and enabling the xscreensaver daemon has anything to do with it | 20:35 |
| poboy975linux | Slart: net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 I added these two lines to sysctl.conf | 20:35 |

| gmathews | Hey - how can i get a weather screenlet that displays the weather in South Africa? | 20:35 |
| samuraicrow | nonix4: Thanks again! Now I'll have some place to look when I go over there after New Year's. | 20:35 |
| RivitingOne | Slart: Well, when I first installed I had to go around in circles trying to get a video playback. I finally managed to get sound for games but it still goes away when I have another program open like firefox. At the moment I have crapy dvd playback but atleast I've managed to get my games working fairly well. All I really do on this system is game and watch movies and surf the web but I can't seem to do any 2 of those things at once. | 20:35 |
| mars___ | is there a way to use two monitors with different resolutions? | 20:35 |
| manja | nDuff, it's a Live! Cam Video IM (VF0220) | 20:35 |
| Mimi | Ohhhhhhhh...... do I need TWO wireless cards on MY laptop to share wireless..... ? :( | 20:36 |
| nonix4 | GillyGilly2: sounds like that particular version of virtualpc doesn't support 64-bit guests | 20:36 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: what happened when you did the command? did you use sudo? sudo Xorg -configure ...capital X might be required there | 20:36 |
| mars___ | i currently use grandr and somehow i cannot get my second monitor to work properly. | 20:36 |
| poboy975linux | Slart: sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE I ran these commands | 20:36 |
| kim0 | Hi .. how "small" can I install from the normal 8.10 dvd ? can it go ~ 200MB ? | 20:36 |
| manja | nDuff, I already tried it in skype (the test in the options) and it shows only garbled green bars, so I guess it's not bundled in the kernel | 20:36 |
| gmathews | Hi - how can I get a mini window of video (like a screenlet) on my desktop? | 20:36 |
| nDuff | manja, a quick bit of googling found http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html | 20:36 |
| RivitingOne | slart: and why has ubuntu not managed to master the ancient art of .gif. If I wanted to see the first frame of an image I'd use a .jpg | 20:37 |
| sinbox | anyone here built fluxbox 1.1.1 0j 8.04? I get some errors on ./configure | 20:37 |
| nonix4 | GillyGilly2: kvm has no problems w/ 64-bit cpus... well, have tried only w/ cpu virtualization support, which most 64-bit cpus do have. | 20:37 |
| onetinsoldier | balanar391: sudo Xorg -configure .....should give you some sort of a response | 20:37 |
| manja | nDuff, what did you google for? | 20:37 |
| Slart | RivitingOne: I think because some of the ancient masters decided to sue everyone doing anything with gif.. | 20:37 |
| n8tuser | poboy975linux - which name is for your wifi? eth0 or eth1 ? | 20:37 |
| nDuff | manja, "Creative Live webcam Linux" | 20:37 |
| poboy975linux | n8tuser: wifi is wlan1 | 20:37 |
| Slart | RivitingOne: are you using plain alsa or pulseaudio for sound? | 20:38 |
| nDuff | manja, first hit with those terms. | 20:38 |
| n8tuser | poboy975linux - then look at your rules, you were using eth0 and eth1 and not wlan0 .. make sense? | 20:38 |
| poboy975linux | n8tuser: eth0 is ethernet cable to hub | 20:38 |
| manja | nDuff, thank you | 20:38 |
| nicklas__ | im out, bye | 20:38 |
| n8tuser | poboy975linux - then look at your rules, you were using eth0 and eth1 and not wlan1 .. make sense? | 20:38 |
| Slart | popori: what do you get if you run "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" | 20:38 |
| balanar391 | onetinsoldier: oh ok now i can see the file | 20:39 |
| mrwes | balanar391: or you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:39 |
| poboy975linux | n8tuser: sorry here is command copied out of the terminal : sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan1 -o eth0 -s 192.168.2.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT | 20:39 |
| Jeaton | what do you use to unzip rar files? | 20:39 |
| RivitingOne | slart: I'll assume pulseaudio because that's the applet I have on my toolbar. I've tried configuring it but given that there are a billion different guides that say twice as many things I have no idea if anything is setup correctly. | 20:39 |
| eseven73 | !rar | 20:39 |

| Slart | RivitingOne: if you open the settings dialon in system, preferences, sound. does it say mostly "ALSA" or mostly "PULSEAUDIO" | 20:40 |
| RivitingOne | ssdt: You might need to change your boot order in the bios settings | 20:40 |
| nonix4 | ssdt: bios setup, enable booting from cd | 20:40 |

| GillyGilly2 | nonix4, thank you for the responses | 20:40 |

| johannes_ | levidos irssi | 20:59 |

| AnonDan | simplenewb: you should be prompted to enter the key manually | 20:59 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | onetinsoldier, http://keryx.betaserver.org/ -- essentially allows you to download packages and dependencies (the latter I think, not sure if it's implemented yet) on your USB drive from another computer, regardless of OS, for use on a computer w/ no Internet connection | 20:59 |
| Slart | Ben1: not sure how large xubuntu is when installed.. but I think it's bigger than 250Mb... have you looked at other distros? such as Damn Small Linux (DSM) ? | 21:00 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | onetinsoldier, a friend of mine developed it, out of necessity and because I was begging him to do something like that :p | 21:00 |
| levidos | which one is better: ircii or irssi ? | 21:00 |
| jjlee | OK, so everybody here thinks TV is evil? | 21:00 |

| hajmola | levidos, try em both | 21:00 |

| ubottu | jjlee: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 21:01 |

| diedi3m | anybody can help me'? | 21:01 |
| jjlee | hajmola: thanks, but last time I tried it it needed a silly amount of configuration | 21:01 |
| Slart | Ben1: oh... perhaps the minimal install cd might work for you then.. I think it's a bit more flexible when it comes to what packages get installed | 21:02 |
| jjlee | fine perhaps if you want to record stuff | 21:02 |
| Slart | !minimal | Ben1 | 21:02 |
| ubottu | Ben1: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 21:02 |
| jjlee | but not otherwise | 21:02 |
| jjlee | does it still do that? | 21:02 |

| jdolan | a bit. some people just don't know how to use their mixers.. | 21:53 |
| jdolan | that's not my problem tho. at least i don't think it is ;) | 21:53 |
| sinbox | aeumph: looks like loging out a second user on my laptop with 8.04 totally kills x :( | 21:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone help me fix x server i get a black screen and cant do anything except hard reboot, ive now tried using my previous xorg.conf from archlinux but still not working, can someone suggest soemthing? | 21:54 |
| WebcamWonder | jdolan: Your problem is a known problem from Audacity. You can, 1) Try the repo above, 2) Try the OSS wrapper from PulseAudio | 21:54 |
| HomingHamster | johulett_, sorry, i don't know | 21:54 |
| sinbox | I think audacity and 8.10 don't go too well together from what I remember | 21:54 |
| razaccour | how do i record the sound that comes from the speakers with recordmydesktop? | 21:54 |
| === shipz_ is now known as shipz | ||
| lesshaste | jdolan, well I don't know.. I would post on the audacity forum | 21:54 |
| jdolan | WebcamWonder, i just want to install that ppa .deb? | 21:55 |
| lesshaste | or listen to WebcamWonder :) | 21:55 |
| WebcamWonder | jdolan: Just add it to your sources... And it should update the audacity version | 21:55 |
| jdolan | (fwiw, there have been _tons_ of complaints re: pulseaudio) | 21:55 |
| jdolan | why is there such a strong push to adopt it? | 21:55 |
| jdolan | it was one of the worst regressions for me in 8.04 as well. | 21:55 |
| WebcamWonder | jdolan: PA in 8.04 WAS Ubuntu's fault | 21:56 |
| lesshaste | jdolan, no one knows | 21:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone help me fix x server i get a black screen and cant do anything except hard reboot, ive now tried using my previous xorg.conf from archlinux but still not working, can someone suggest something? | 21:56 |
| jdolan | i went from having great sound that worked across all apps to basically no sound, or maybe sound from one app at a time if i was lucky. | 21:56 |
| lesshaste | jdolan, and the question is asked a fair amount | 21:56 |
| Mimi | Does anyone know why my Eth0 would NOT show up ? :( | 21:56 |
| WebcamWonder | jdolan: It was perfectly stable back then as well, but Ubuntu never provided the correct plugins/packages for it | 21:56 |
| shingen | Pirate_Hunter: sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 21:56 |
| lesshaste | jdolan, people like to have different volume control per app...that's all anyone can think of | 21:56 |
| sinbox | you can alway suninstall /disable pulse jdolan | 21:56 |
| jdolan | anyway, i'm pretty pleased with 8.10. | 21:56 |
| ali1234 | most of the problems i have had with pulse are caused by old software that doesn't use it | 21:56 |
| lesshaste | other than that it seems pointless | 21:56 |
| WebcamWonder | jdolan: I have PERFECT audio under 8.04 using the correct fixes | 21:56 |
| Mimi | Just turn it all to ALSA in Sound preferences | 21:56 |
| lesshaste | is there any other point to pulse? | 21:57 |
| shingen | Pirate_Hunter: or you can google for "ubuntu rebuild xorg.conf" too, like I just did | 21:57 |
| jdolan | i've noticed Pulse screws with SDL a little bit (or at least it seems to). | 21:57 |
| jdolan | but anyway, i'll try this patched Audacity. thanks WebcamWonder | 21:57 |
| Mimi | isnt this convo kinda offtopic? not support question | 21:57 |
| jdolan | sorry. | 21:57 |
| WebcamWonder | jdolan: No problem | 21:58 |
| ali1234 | jdolan: not if you install libsdl-pulse | 21:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | shigen: im in console not using gui and i ahave no clue what to do since the file isnt giving errors | 21:58 |

| WebcamWonder | jdolan: The repo? | 22:01 |
| elkin | WebcamWonder, any idea? | 22:02 |
| eseven73 | The_Rebel: theres a GUI for rsync as well Grsync | 22:02 |
| WebcamWonder | elkin: Yeah, hold on... My system is swapping like crazy to open OO | 22:02 |
| jdolan | WebcamWonder, i fetched the .deb and installed it manually. | 22:02 |
| shingen | Pirate_Hunter: holy crap, you have an ISA based trident card? that's pre-VESA standards... ewww, good luck with that... you'll need to find some old ass kernel to support something that old | 22:02 |
| shingen | Pirate_Hunter: you'll have better luck with redhat 4.2 supporting that than any OS today :) | 22:02 |

| The_Rebel | no funny business | 22:06 |

| Gnea | eseven73: the fact that it's faster, supposedly (i haven't gotten it working fully just yet... it will connect, but it's not syncing with the desktop that's already running) | 22:09 |

| eseven73 | Gnea: ah gotcha, could you please let me know if/when you get it fixed? :) | 22:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | shingen: fair enough i just thought moving to ubuntu would be easier on this machine since its easier to manage than arch but i guess tomorow ill have to go back | 22:10 |
| Gnea | eseven73: maybe... are you working on it right now too? :) | 22:11 |
| hspaans | shingen: as long as you stay within the specifications you can also have s-video working | 22:11 |
| Ben1 | hi guys, just used fdisk to partition a disk in 2 and cannot mount the second partition. sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/disk comes back with mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 22:11 |
| wikki | are recompiling the kernel or installing the server kernel the only way to get PAE support enabled? | 22:11 |
| eseven73 | Gnea: not at the moment, I use x11vnc and tightvncserver or xtightvnc something like that | 22:11 |
| Ben1 | i can mount /dev/sda1 ok... | 22:11 |

| blathijs | Ben1: Did you create filesystems on the partitions? | 22:12 |
| eseven73 | Gnea: ouch | 22:12 |
| hspaans | shingen: and its _low-end_ | 22:13 |
| blathijs | Ben1: fdisk just updates the information about where the partitions are, it doesn't write anything on them | 22:13 |
| ali1234 | Ben1: try specifying the fs type then? -t ext2/ext3/vfat/whatever and check dmesg | 22:13 |
| onetinsoldier | Ben1: you should have used parted. but anyway we'll need to know that filesystem type you did format disk 2 in | 22:13 |
| Gnea | eseven73: yeah, i've got google, and it's helped me get most of the way there | 22:13 |
| mdmkolbe | What audio tools does Ubuntu have that will tell me the length (in time) of a whole bunch of WAV files? | 22:13 |
| shingen | wikki: go 64 bit if you can, PAE is a very crappy way to use 3GB+ RAM. | 22:13 |
| wikki | ok | 22:13 |
| Ben1 | blathijs . no i dont know how lol . although /dev/sda1 works | 22:13 |
| wikki | I guess I can go 64 bit | 22:13 |
| wikki | is it that big a deal? | 22:13 |
| blathijs | Ben1: Then there was probably a filesystem on the disk already | 22:13 |
| wikki | just install the 64 bit version? | 22:14 |
| wikki | maybe recompile some apps? | 22:14 |
| blathijs | Ben1: That means you now have a filesystem that covers the entire disk, in a partition that's to small | 22:14 |
| shingen | hspaans: yeah, but this is a mobility radeon, even crappier than a x300 :) | 22:14 |
| shingen | hspaans: mobility radeon x300 even | 22:14 |
| blathijs | Ben1: If there is no data on the disk, I'd just create two new filesystems (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1) | 22:14 |
| hspaans | shingen: post xrandr -q to pastebin | 22:14 |
| WebcamWonder | mdmkolbe: ffmpeg -i [filename] should give you all the information you will ever need :) | 22:14 |

| blathijs | Ben1: If there is data on the disk, you should probably undo your fdisk, backup the data and/or resize the filesystem, and then change the partitions | 22:15 |

| Ben1 | blathijs I'll try that now.... it needs to be readable by deli linux installer... has to hold the install pkgs. i have no data on the disk. It's 512 mb, needs about 450mb avail for deli linux to install to and the rest to hold pkgs.. | 22:16 |
| kholerabbi | eseven73: :) no - will that solve it? | 22:16 |
| eseven73 | wigren: how many times has it happened? | 22:16 |
| eseven73 | kholerabbi: maybe maybe not :) | 22:16 |
| shingen | hspaans: not really worried about the ATI issue fyi, I have two other laptops... I'd really like fakeraid because my vista install is my gaming machine | 22:17 |

| manja | onetinsoldier, this ubuntu is freshly installed, there are many linux-headers packages, which one should I install? | 22:18 |
| eseven73 | wigren: plus too, if its a work server, maybe other employees have access to the ssh? (Although maybe not access to the web server) if this is the case, then its 'normal' to see a bunch of log in attempts from other IP's | 22:18 |
| donaldo | 22:18 | |

| blathijs | Ben1: It should output some stuff, if it doesn't look like an error you can probably ignore it :-) | 22:19 |
| mdmkolbe | WebcamWonder: thx, ffmpeg looks like it will work | 22:19 |
| hspaans | WebcamWonder: really? know enough machines that have been hacked that way, sorry | 22:19 |
| WebcamWonder | mdmkolbe: Yup, and if you do somehting like ffmpeg -i | grep Duration, that should only output the line of the duration | 22:19 |

| hspaans | WebcamWonder: gss-api or keyboard-interactive (not password that is obsolete) are good alternatives | 22:21 |
| WebcamWonder | hspaans: That is the first time I have heard that argument. Anyways, lets leave that to another day, this is kinda offtopic | 22:21 |

| Pirate_Hunter | anyone can tell me how to get xorg working with trident microsystem cyberblade video card cause all my attempts have given me a black screen with not response | 22:24 |
| manja | onetinsoldier, there are quite some folders which have the prefix "asm-" but non which is just "asm" | 22:24 |
| manja | onetinsoldier, http://pastebin.com/d6ec84851 | 22:25 |
| hspaans | shingen: I work for financials, so you do the math ;-) | 22:25 |
| shingen | Pirate_Hunter: a similar classed video card, e.g., geforce2 is less than $20 U.S., and might be alot simpler than having to support that legacy trident blade 3d card... | 22:25 |

| onetinsoldier | manja: you'll need sudo for the stuff --> mkdir asm && cd asm && ln -sv linux/semaphore.h . | 22:26 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: oops.. i goofed | 22:26 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: and i'll just put the sudo's in there | 22:27 |
| Pingviller26 | ok, I got a problem with actually finding the graphic drivers for my Toshiba Satellite A110.. it should have a ATI Radeon 200M graphic card, but the drivers from ATIs homepage doesnt work, even with my XP, so I wonder if any of you are good detectives in digging up drivers for those of us that basically suck at finding stuff theyre looking for | 22:27 |
| mib_r7ymmj | hi, i have another question please help im so confused. i have a pc, i can boot it into a BART-PE disc my friend gave me but not into a windows install disc or ubuntu...it just stalls. i know the hard drive is dead but why wouldnt they boot up? | 22:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | shingen: i know i could just buy a cheap card but the point is it works no point changing it and it worked on the latest version of arch | 22:27 |

| manja | onetinsoldier, oh oh, wait a moment | 22:30 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: well, i'm wish i knew the full path of where it's looking for this file at | 22:30 |
| manja | onetinsoldier, it's searching in linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic but I just made the symlink in linux-headers-2.6.27-9 | 22:30 |
| manja | onetinsoldier, I'll fix that, mom | 22:30 |

| isle85 | is there a tool to tell the system to keep only two kernels ? I can remove the extra using synaptic, but maybe there is a parameter somewhere ? thanks | 22:33 |
| dcider | what happens if i delete the .local folder??? | 22:33 |

| manja | onetinsoldier, new error -> http://pastebin.com/d33e74428 | 22:33 |
| Pingviller26 | how come no one ever seem to be able to solve my problems?.. | 22:34 |
| shingen | isle85: afaik, the only tool that exists is how many to display in grub... msg me if you find out different :) | 22:34 |
| eseven73 | isle85: ive always heard its best to uninstall kernels from synaptic | 22:34 |
| ali1234 | Pingviller26: i had to fix up a toshiba for somebody once. the drivers from ati didn't work, the only ones that worked were the ones from toshiba's site. this is not relevant to linux though. | 22:34 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: hard for me to tell what the error is because i can't read german. however, if you set the LANG to C ithink it's would be in plain ascii english | 22:35 |
| isle85 | shingen: grub is just a way to "display" the ones I want to see, but I thought there was something in a configuration tool to tell the system : once we have two kernels and associated files, please remove me the older one if you want to install a new one. | 22:35 |
| Flannel | isle85: It's hairy at best (because the automated package stuffs wouldn't have any idea which kernels are good/bad/etc), but you can use some apt preferences to remove the older ones automatically. | 22:35 |
| Pingviller26 | ali1234: I still need to actually find them, but ya, its not a technical linux specific problem | 22:35 |
| Flannel | isle85: Its just something you should weigh the benefits/risks of, before you find yourself without a good kernel to fall back on | 22:36 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: it's be something like $export LANG=C ..then do the make command | 22:36 |
| manja | onetinsoldier, the first error is an implicit decleration of the function , but I'll set the language, mom | 22:36 |
| ali1234 | Pingviller26: actually now i think about it i dont think even toshiba site had them, i had to use the CD that came with it which the person produced after i'd been searching online for like 4 hours :( | 22:37 |
| istofix | good bye everybody, | 22:37 |
| Pingviller26 | ali1234: oh crap... they didnt include the cds for this laptop... not that I can remember the last time I bought a computer that included the drivers and OS lol | 22:37 |
| buttercups | Pingviller26, there under system,administration,hardware drivers | 22:38 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: you should know,i probably can't help too much with these kiinds of errors. the missing file, got that one. but stuff beyond that, i doubt i can be of much help. however, my first though is, it wants a specific version of kernel headers. perhaps from an older version of the kernel | 22:38 |
| manja | onetinsoldier, btw, the right command for language change is export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 | 22:41 |
| Ben1 | since when does a linux install come up with 'verifying dmi pool data...' ???? | 22:41 |
| onetinsoldier | manja: ok, roger. nokia once told me to have people set it to C and that would make it plain ascii. i think he said that because not everyone will have en_US-UTF-8 support installed | 22:43 |
| manja | I can't compile the driver for my VF0220 (Creative webcam), I get the error: http://pastebin.com/d44d56df, on Ubuntu 2.6.27-9-generic | 22:44 |

| issa_ | Hi, please help me. Suddenly my hd became 100% full, and so when I restarted kubuntu didn't store the last session (obviously) so when I logged in again I was in with a fresh session with default panel, desktop and everything as it looks like first time I installed kubuntu. How do I retrieve the previous sessions that had been saved before the very previous one that wasn't!? | 22:48 |
| ali1234 | issa_: freeing some HD space will probably fix it | 22:49 |
| === geo is now known as geo05 | ||

| hejdixon | Flannel, Slart: Okey. Yeah, there's a shadow file | 22:52 |

| deepfriedsquirre | lol sorry, seen that one before | 22:54 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Well, the broswers just sit there saying they're loading without giving me any error message | 22:54 |
| nemo | the Google calendar type seems to just throw away the username (there's a long confusing bug on this) | 22:54 |
| Slart | deepfriedsquirre: is dns working alright? can you ping www.google.com? | 22:55 |
| nemo | and the ICS type seems to fail - possibly due to renaming http to webcal, although I'd swear I used that without trouble in the past | 22:55 |
| starenka | Slart: thx | 22:55 |
| deepfriedsquirre | aptitude isn't working either, weird. Just '[waiting for headers]' | 22:55 |

| Slart | deepfriedsquirre: well.. I don't really know how to troubleshoot http connections.. perhaps you could try wget with some verbosity options.. but I think you'd have to install it first.. and without apt working... | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | deepfriedsquirre: can you ping the router? | 22:59 |
| hejdixon | Slart; thanks | 22:59 |
| Gnea | eseven73: nah | 22:59 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I don't know if that's between them; I don't know much about the Internet and the ins and outs of it, sorry. Just some of the basics. | 22:59 |
| bogsdev | previous? | 22:59 |
| Gnea | eseven73: but i can tell it to you here ;) | 22:59 |
| Slart | mdmkolbe: have you looked at mencoder if it's got some kind of "make a movie out of images"-feature? | 22:59 |
| n8tuser | deepfriedsquirre - is the dsl modem also acting as a router? any firewalls on such router? | 22:59 |
| ali1234 | mdmkolbe: 'transcode' can do it but it is a horrible program to use... | 23:00 |

| interstellar | any idea for a free online storage with ssh access (and wget if possible) ? | 23:00 |
| eseven73 | Gnea: :/ ok i thought it be easier with all this scrolling | 23:00 |
| w3rd_ | ali1234: ill check it out... | 23:00 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I really don't know, if I asked my father he probably wouldn't have a clue and I wouldn't be trusted to fumble around with it. | 23:00 |
| Gnea | eseven73: when you go to connect, just make sure you change the Desktop configuration from UNIX to Shadow | 23:00 |
| bogsdev | interstellar: what are your needs? | 23:00 |
| Gnea | eseven73: it's better this way, in case someone else needs it | 23:00 |
| deepfriedsquirre | The weird thing is that when I restart, it often works again, but disabling networking isn't enough. | 23:01 |
| eseven73 | Gnea: ok | 23:01 |

| n8tuser | deepfriedsquirre - you have settings that are mis-configured.. | 23:01 |
| Slart | deepfriedsquirre: one easy thing to try would be to reboot everything.. router, dsl modem, computer.. just unplug the router for a couple of seconds and restart it | 23:01 |
| Mimi | Hiiiiiiiii can anyone tell me how to find my internal IP (eth1 NIC)? ifconfig shows no ip | 23:01 |
| Slart | Mimi: then you probably don't have one | 23:01 |
| n8tuser | Mimi - if ifconfig does not show it, other tools would not either | 23:02 |
| interstellar | bogsdev: ssh, wget and minimum of 10MB | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Mimi: can you give us the output of: ifconfig eth1 (in a pastebin) | 23:02 |
| deepfriedsquirr1 | Nope, black magic doesn't work. | 23:02 |
| mdmkolbe | thx all | 23:02 |
| bogsdev | interstellar: does it HAVE to be free or just cheap? | 23:02 |
| Mimi | Slart, if Im connected to the interwebs, and I'm behind a router, I should, no? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | Mimi | 23:02 |
| ubottu | Mimi: 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) | 23:02 |
| n8tuser | Mimi - what in the world is interwebs? perhaps you can elaborate on your network setup? | 23:02 |
| Mimi | ActionParsnip, ... LAME. Thanks :P I didnt know I had to type the NIC name after ifconfig, thank you! | 23:03 |
| Slart | Mimi: I would say so, yes | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Mimi: if you use a specific interface you get a bit more info, ifcofig on its own kinda sucks | 23:03 |
| n8tuser | no need to type in the nic's name ifconfig should do fine by itself | 23:03 |
| Mimi | n8tuser, ^_^; interwebs is a silly word for "Internet". My laptop Wireless is connected to a router, router is connected to Modem. | 23:03 |
| interstellar | bogsdev: free for start... | 23:03 |
| deepfriedsquirr1 | Blarg, I think I'll go install Zenwalk and if doesn't work in a bit go whine at father and maybe find this AOL Letter and show it to him. Thanks everyone for trying to help | 23:03 |
| andresmh | thanks ActionParsnip, how can I check what kind of webcam I have and/or the drivers it is using, as per the web page you sent it might be that i am suffering from one of the kernel bugs | 23:04 |
| deepfriedsquirr1 | And lol ActionParsnip. Good nick as well. | 23:04 |
| Mimi | Im actually trying to share internet on eth1 thats why i needed internal IP (thinking that might be what Gateway is all about LOL ) | 23:04 |

| Andrew4826 | question--- why does my x server break everytime i update ubuntu (i have an nVidia card) | 23:04 |
| Slart | Mimi: oh.. ip for the wireless connection didn't show up in a plain ifconfig output??.. | 23:04 |
| n8tuser | Mimi - do not try to be so cutesie, i can throw words your way you would not understand, so be clear and specific so we can help you | 23:04 |
| Flannel | Andrew4826: How did you install your nvidia drivers? | 23:04 |
| === pauljw_ is now known as pauljw | ||
| Andrew4826 | apt-get | 23:04 |
| bogsdev | interstellar: ok. not sure what your application is, but I've beenn using Amazon S3 to store quite a bit of data lately. Can be mounted as a drive on your machine using s3fs or s3backer. | 23:05 |
| Mimi | Slart, the wireless did, but not the eth1. eth1 is connected to my boyfriends laptop (no internet on his) because I want to share it with him | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Andrew4826: you may find you have to updae the nvidia driver when yuo update the kernel | 23:05 |
| doglino | hello people | 23:05 |
| Flannel | Andrew4826: Do you have -proposed enabled? | 23:05 |
| Andrew4826 | sudo apt-get nVidia? | 23:05 |
| Mimi | n8tuser, me too, in several languages, just thought interwebs is a well known silly word | 23:05 |
| Andrew4826 | thats not right but what do u put | 23:05 |
| bogsdev | interstellar: if you mount your S3 account with s3fs you can access the data anywhere | 23:05 |
| andresmh | ActionParsnip, I can't find an entry in lsusb and lspci that it's obviously my builtin webcam | 23:06 |
| Slart | Mimi: oh.. never seen that before.. well well | 23:06 |
| bogsdev | interstellar: but it's not free. about .15 per GB | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | andresmh: lsusb is not massively clear, if you websearch the identifiers that are no 000000000 then you may unearth some gold | 23:06 |
| n8tuser | Mimi - the router has multiple ports -- why not take advantage of it and have your friends ethernet connected to those ports? | 23:07 |

| ActionParsnip | AgeMania58987: its a terminal command] | 23:10 |

| n8tuser | Mimi - well instead of plugging his host ethernet to your laptop, use same cable directly to the router, and then both the laptop and his hosts have access to the internet | 23:10 |
| R1_ | Hi, is there anyway to change my computer name on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid? | 23:10 |
| === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz | ||
| sinbox | w3rd_, is your fluxbox configured for dual display support? | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | w3rd_ - try /etc/X11/xorg.conf for X settings | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | w3rd_: i use fluxbox but not dual displays | 23:11 |
| eseven73 | w3rd_: have you tried it in IceWM? | 23:11 |
| w3rd_ | is that a skin eseven73 | 23:11 |
| eseven73 | its like fluxbox | 23:11 |
| w3rd_ | hmm... have to check it out | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | w3rd_: i'd ;isten to n8tuser, if you use nvidia cards you can setu dual heads there | 23:11 |
| eseven73 | i like it :) | 23:11 |
| w3rd_ | gonna try and modify x11 first | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !dualhead | w3rd_ | 23:11 |
| ubottu | w3rd_: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 23:11 |
| w3rd_ | o | 23:11 |
| eseven73 | Enlightenment is nice too | 23:11 |
| w3rd_ | im using intel company cards | 23:11 |
| sinbox | w3rd_, i think you need fluxbox with xinerama enabled or some such, you could always ask in #fluxbox though | 23:11 |
| w3rd_ | is elightment like fluxbox | 23:12 |
| ali1234 | w3rd_: if you want to set it permanently you can put it in xorg.conf... or try using xrandr command line tool as was suggested... | 23:12 |
| w3rd_ | ? | 23:12 |
| eseven73 | kinda | 23:12 |
| AgeMania58987 | ActionParsnip to use this command, I have to be logged on the Internet? | 23:12 |
| R1_ | Hi, is there anyway to change my computer name/hostname on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid? | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | AgeMania58987: no, it will identify usb devices | 23:12 |
| Slart | R1_: there is a file.. /etc/hostname perhaps? | 23:12 |
| AgeMania58987 | ActionParsnip I am novice in the use of ubuntu | 23:12 |
| Gnea | eseven73: the only thing that's odd is that, if the resolution on the remote system is larger than yours, the font is going to squish if you want to see the whole desktop | 23:12 |
| ali1234 | w3rd_: to make gnome-display-settings work in fluxbox you probably need to be running gnome-settings-daemon and dbus and a ton of other stuff... | 23:12 |
| yaris123456789 | hey guys is there an addon that lets me login to multiple accounts, like gmail, yahoo, msn | 23:12 |
| Mimi | n8tuser, mmm sorry i dont understand. i must be tired. lets see: theres 1 router, 1 cable, 2 computers. Youre saying I should plug cable from his laptop to the router? | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | AgeMania58987: you will learn | 23:12 |
| R1_ | Slart, is that the best and only way? | 23:12 |
| w3rd_ | let me check #fluxbox for some confirmation | 23:12 |
| w3rd_ | ty thus far brb | 23:12 |
| Slart | R1_: not sure if it will make all kinds of names change though | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !hostname | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

| eseven73 | Gnea: ok hmmm maybe there's a bug fix for that i wonder | 23:13 |
| n8tuser | Mimi - you said you have a cable between your computer and his? or i mis-read you? | 23:13 |

| Gnea | I3lade: okay, I just looked at it - looks like they're in the middle of an edit.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation looks like it has what you'll need | 23:40 |
| Samuel-NotAFK | ActionParsnip: I wonder what specific line triggered the crash. | 23:40 |
| ali1234 | !hostname | R1_ | 23:40 |
| ubottu | R1_: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 23:40 |
| R1_ | Slart, and i rather not edit host files =/ | 23:40 |
| Slart | R1_: eh.. I'm not sure that's a networking configuration | 23:40 |
| Gnea | I3lade: okay, then my question for you is this: did you install java from the sun website, or from the repository? | 23:40 |
| LordFDisk | Seveas do I need xnest and or xserver-xephyr packages loaded? | 23:40 |
| ali1234 | hmm... outdated factoid? | 23:40 |
| I3lade | Gnea from the sun website... I couldn't find it in the repository, but then again I never messed with it much | 23:40 |
| Samuel-NotAFK | ActionParsnip: I think it's the window type. | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Samuel-NotAFK: then comment out lots of the file using # at the start of the lines until it crashes, then you know which line is casuing the issue | 23:40 |
| junglist313 | ActionParsnip: I don't see a --force-all option, could it be --Force-yes ? | 23:40 |
| Slart | R1_: there you can do it on the command line if you want | 23:41 |
| josher4 | Anybody? | 23:41 |
| Seveas | LordFDisk, apt-get install xnest should do the trick (it did for me :)) | 23:41 |
| Gnea | I3lade: okay, first things first: remove what you've installed from sun's site | 23:41 |
| Samuel-NotAFK | ActionParsnip: ughhh if I have to | 23:41 |
| Gnea | I3lade: let me know when it's all cleaned up, we can proceed from there. | 23:41 |
