| CyberGabber | rectec794613: Booting LIVE-cd can that a lot of time ! Especially on slower system ( low memory e.g. ). | 00:05 |

| josher4 | CyberGabber, it is so so | 00:06 |
| Decepticon | adam7 but it will create random ass files in ~/ and god knows what else | 00:06 |
| datta | hello, i need to stream jumptv but i cannot stream it with vlc player. how can i? | 00:06 |
| Frijolie | 'bad command or filename' | 00:06 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: well, make a new user. | 00:06 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: or mount a tmpfs disk over /home | 00:07 |
| Decepticon | adam7, yeah i will, but it will still throw files in random places like /etc/ and /var and i dont know where else | 00:07 |
| luisssissss | #linuxmint | 00:07 |
| josher4 | I have used the Live cd for a little bit and it runs smoothly | 00:07 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: or mount a unionfs with a tmpfs over ~ | 00:07 |
| rectec794613 | CyberGabber: idk it didnt take thay much time before, and the same thing happened when i try to boot off my old 7.10 cd, then it says it cant read the blocks or something | 00:07 |
| Frijolie | Vantrax: I understand....they've got a full-time job | 00:07 |
| mezquitale | Decepticon, if you dont have a lot of ram I HIGHLY suggest you use xubuntu desktop | 00:07 |
| zelda | Frijolie: ACtually it would be unknown package | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !xubuntu | 00:07 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:07 |
| Decepticon | yes im familiar with xfce | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: or fluxbox | 00:07 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: the best thing is if you have backups, install whatever and then restore from the backup | 00:07 |
| Decepticon | yeah but im interested in gnome | 00:07 |
| refefer | hey mates, is there anyway I can search inside files from the command line? I'm looking for a class definition in about 100mbs of code, so... command line maybe? | 00:08 |

| Slart | refefer: grep | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | refefer: grep | 00:08 |
| Frijolie | zelda: actually it would be 'cannot access allAdminsInIRCUbuntu: no such file or directory' | 00:08 |
| adam7 | refefer: grep myword * (or grep -r myword * for recursive) | 00:08 |
| CyberGabber | rectec794613: Sounds like you CD-rom is faulty / lens not clean orsomething ? Does it read any other CD's ? | 00:08 |
| Decepticon | i got enough ram for gnome | 00:08 |
| refefer | can you search within files using that? | 00:08 |
| refefer | not just file names? | 00:08 |
| Slart | refefer: that's what it does | 00:08 |
| cheatersrealm | refefer, yes | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | refefer: thats what grep does | 00:08 |
| refefer | excellent | 00:09 |
| Decepticon | im worried about ram left over for my other processs while gnome is on | 00:09 |

| ActionParsnip | refefer: man grep | 00:09 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: how much ram do you have? | 00:09 |
| Decepticon | i think 1gb, how do i check? | 00:09 |
| dougb | is there a bleeding edge version of ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: free -m | 00:09 |
| rectec794613 | CyberGabber: um it read my vista cd (I had to reinstall it cuz it messed up bootmgr) | 00:09 |
| Decepticon | Sememmon: 971 959 11 0 10 618 | 00:09 |
| Decepticon | 971mb ram? | 00:09 |
| Decepticon | 1gb ram i guess | 00:09 |
| rectec794613 | CyberGabber: and the cd is clean | 00:09 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: that should be plenty for Gnome | 00:10 |

| Flannel | mordof: very easy | 00:12 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: on top of that, i'd need to learn how to ssh into a graphical session too ; ; lol | 00:12 |
| rww | mordof: sudo apt-get install xorg for a basic X server, or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for the full Ubuntu package set | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: sudo apt-get install xorg | 00:12 |
| datta | i need to stream jumptv but i cannot stream it with vlc player. how can i? | 00:12 |

| ubottu | mordof: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: for a lesser set run: sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 00:13 |

| ActionParsnip | mordof: its lighter than gnome + metacity | 00:13 |

| cheatersrealm | is vnc over ssh faster than ssh x forwarding? | 00:14 |
| wilbyj | Hi everyone. | 00:14 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: well, it would be close | 00:14 |
| Decepticon | adam7 htop says Mem:971M used:330M buffers:10M cache:616Load average: 1.70 1.32 1.17 | 00:14 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: situation: my comp is windows xp. my server is ubuntu server, i'm attempting to hook up a compy with win 2000 for my grandma on the same lan as my server. to repair any problems she has, i want to ssh into my server, and remote admin the win 2k box from there - so i don't have to open even more ports to her comp. is that possible with fluxbox do you know? | 00:14 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: I'd guess you don't have enough room, because your free -m indicates you are swapping | 00:14 |
| === gabriel_ is now known as gabriel_sx | ||
| adam7 | mordof: you can forward the remote desktop ports through sSH I think | 00:15 |
| === tyfoo2 is now known as tyfoo | ||
| Decepticon | adam7, what! i dont even have a gui and im swapping? | 00:15 |
| mordof | adam7: different computers.. i wouldn't know how tbh | 00:15 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: Swap: total/509 used/386 free/123 | 00:15 |
| adam7 | mordof: I'm not entirely sure either tbh, but I think it can be done | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: you can always telnet but thats more ports | 00:16 |
| mordof | adam7: doing 2 remote connectios. windows xp -> ssh -> ubuntu server -> rdesktop (or other remote admin) -> grandmas comp over lan | 00:16 |
| Decepticon | adam7, right but htop says, Mem:971M used:330M buffers:9M cache:618MLoad average: 1.09 1.22 1.15 | 00:16 |
| wilbyj | I just installed 8.10 on an Averatec 3715eh laptop. I have two issues I was hoping to get help with. | 00:16 |
| === [e]Lement`dc is now known as [e]Lement | ||
| Decepticon | adam7 doesnt that mean that 330M out of 971M is used | 00:16 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: yeah. so I would guess at some point in the past your memory was filled and it started swapping | 00:16 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: and you've never used the stuff that was swapped, so it's still on disk | 00:16 |
| shingen | mordof: tunnelling over two hops should be fine, port 3389 will work over multiple hops | 00:17 |
| wilbyj | The first is the wireless card kernel module for rt2500 seems to be exceedingly slow. | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: if the final destination is win2k, make sure its server so it has rdp, but i believe you need X libs to run it, i could be wrong | 00:17 |
| dlstyley | ActionParsnip: that didn't work so well... killed the keyboard. Navigating is hard enough without the mouse. ;) | 00:17 |
| adam7 | mordof: right -- you can tell the SSH server to allow you to forward to the windows box | 00:17 |
| Decepticon | adam7, so do you still think its a good idea to install gnome on this machine | 00:17 |
| adam7 | mordof: one sec, I'll see how you do it | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dlstyley: mouse is for games and internet only here | 00:17 |
| Decepticon | adam7 if theres evidence that ive been swapping, that is | 00:17 |
| rectec794613 | CyberGabber: are you there? | 00:17 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: no, probably not. try Fluxbox | 00:17 |
| mordof | adam7: :o ooh, so i wouldn't need to install any gui on my server for it? *hopeful* | 00:17 |
| shingen | mordof: unless you're doing something wrong with ssh. you will only need X Windows on the client | 00:17 |
| rectec794613 | nope. | 00:17 |
| Decepticon | adam7 well the intent of installing a gui is that im trying to make it noob friendly | 00:18 |
| adam7 | mordof: I think that's correct | 00:18 |
| Decepticon | adam7 fluxbox maybe a little confusing for a winxp user | 00:18 |
| shingen | mordof: no gui needed at all on intermediary boxes, you just need to know your ssh commandlines | 00:18 |
| Decepticon | adam7 do you agree? | 00:18 |
| luisssissss | any way can somebody tell why i cant install ubuntu intrepid?, everytime i try to it just freeze, i mean i actually did install it but, at th end when restarting it never download the desktop, why is this happening does anyone knows pls??? | 00:18 |
| mordof | shingen: ^^ i haven't attempted to set it up yet, i'm not that great with linux/ssh yet.. been a bit of a struggle | 00:18 |
| adam7 | Decepticon: maybe, but if they can't use a linux box why are they messing with your server? :P | 00:18 |
| rectec794613 | let me restate my question, again, when i try to boot off the 8.10 live cd, it gets to the point where the orange bar moves back and forth, but it wont stop. I just burned the iso with active iso burner to a rewritable cd at 4x and thats all the details i can think of. | 00:18 |
| Decepticon | adam7 theyre paying me heh | 00:18 |
| cheatersrealm | mordof, google for ssh tunnel and ssh port forwarding. I've done it before but don't remember. man ssh might also be helpful. | 00:18 |
| shingen | anybody know to change the sequence of init scripts during boot? apparently dmraid is being run too early | 00:19 |
| mordof | cheatersrealm: ok | 00:19 |
| CyberGabber | rectec794613: Yes, but is still think its a CD-rom problem, because you also could'nt read your old CD. | 00:19 |
| onetinsoldier | shingen: look at the man page for --> update-rc.d | 00:19 |

| shingen | onetinsoldier: stuck in initramfs | 00:20 |
| adam7 | mordof: ssh -L 9999:windowsserver:110 shellserver where 9999 is the windows port and 110 is the port on the local machine | 00:20 |

| idea4good | intel 3948 | 00:21 |

| luisssissss | nnah | 00:21 |
| dlstyley | ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? | 00:21 |
| onetinsoldier | shingen: ok, so you mean a kernel module then? | 00:21 |

| ActionParsnip | dlstyley: wassup? | 00:22 |
| akbrennan | hey all, | 00:22 |

| mordof | adam7: ok. i haven't set that computer up yet entirely, but i'm writing this down, lol. | 00:24 |
| shingen | mordof: is there any reason you're not using free services for grandma like gotomypc? it'd be easier for you | 00:25 |
| CyberGabber | rectec794613: If the CD-test didn't fail, i don't think it will help. Sorry i have to go to sleep. Good luck... | 00:25 |
| dlstyley | zelda: usb mouse quit working on upgrade to 8..10. still works under xp | 00:25 |
| rectec794613 | k | 00:25 |
| luisssissss | rectec what do you mena with my name????? | 00:25 |
| zxcvbs | hi im trying to figure how ubuntu sets pulseaudio as default alsa master, where can i find? there is no asoundrc or asound.conf | 00:25 |
| adam7 | mordof: what shingen says | 00:25 |
| zelda | dlstyley: really? Interesting... try rebootin | 00:25 |
| mordof | shingen: i didn't want to open up a port directly to my grandmas computer for something | 00:25 |
| rectec794613 | kinda hard to spell | 00:25 |
| andresmh | ctrl+alt+backspace worked but this is the second time my keyboard went into a state where it didn't seem to work | 00:25 |
| dlstyley | zelda: done and done and done some more. | 00:25 |
| rectec794613 | its nothing | 00:25 |
| mordof | shingen: was hoping to be able to route it through my server that already has my ssh server set up | 00:25 |
| luisssissss | just say luis | 00:25 |
| adam7 | mordof: logmein is what I use, works great, no open ports on the router | 00:25 |
| rectec794613 | yeah k, luis | 00:25 |
| shingen | mordof: if you have SSH running at grandma's house, sure it's real easy... | 00:26 |
| luisssissss | is actually my real name | 00:26 |
| idea4good | i dont know it was working fine before | 00:26 |
| adam7 | mordof: you can do it through the ssh server, but it's more complicated :P | 00:26 |
| zelda | dlstyley: Whats the manufacturer of the mouse? | 00:26 |
| rectec794613 | is cybergabber saying that the cd test fixes it ore something? im not even sure it'll run | 00:26 |
| dlstyley | zelda: microsoft - works under Windows. Go figure. | 00:26 |
| idea4good | I am using ubuntu 7.10 on intel 3945 ABG wireless card | 00:26 |
| shingen | mordof: just SSH into the ssh server at grandma's and use ssh -D 9999 you@thehost.grandmas.com will open up a socks4 proxy on port 9999 which you can use to connect to any resource at grandma's | 00:26 |
| zelda | dlstyley: DO you have like a 7.10 live cd around? | 00:27 |
| mordof | bah, screw it. i'll just open up a port for her (adam7 - logmein, i don't know how something would work with no open ports, unless it's uPnP capable. otherwise not sure how you'd be able to connect) | 00:27 |
| adam7 | mordof: the client connects to the server | 00:27 |
| adam7 | mordof: not vice versa | 00:27 |
| CyberGabber | rectec794613: Run the CD-test, just to see if the medium (CD) isn't broken / damaged. | 00:27 |
| mordof | shingen: yeah.. for now i'll just set up a direct remote connection. i won't understand what i'm doing if i try to attempt this i think, so i'll mess it up easily, lol | 00:27 |
| dlstyley | zelda: probably. This just started with recent updates (I believe it was 8.10 - could have been a kernel upgrade since). It will sometimes come back, but usually dead. Works 100% under windows. | 00:28 |
| rectec794613 | ok i hope it wont mess up my bootmgr, CyberGabber | 00:28 |
| CyberGabber | rectec794613: Just by booting the ubuntu-cd, and choosing option 'Check CD for defects.' | 00:28 |
| mordof | adam7: ah.. don't think it's a good idea to leave my grandma to doing that XD but i'll consider it | 00:28 |
| adam7 | mordof: anyway, if you get it all set up, ssh -L 3389:windowsboxip:3389 shellserver and then point rdesktop at localhost:3389 | 00:28 |
| zelda | dlstyley: throw that 7.10 live in and see if it works in there. If it does, then you have to reconfigure your xorg | 00:28 |
| adam7 | mordof: it does it automatically, no user intervention | 00:29 |
| idea4good | anybody can help me with wifi on ubuntu 7.10 with intel 3945 ab | 00:29 |
| shingen | mordof: if you don't have an SSH server at grandmas, reverse SSHing would require you to open up a SSH connection from grandma's to home and then using cygwin or something similar to keep it running with autossh and then you'd need to learn the ssh -R and -L commands pretty well to redirect your traffic... more pain for you and grandma though | 00:29 |
| CyberGabber | rectec794613: It's does nothing more thanjust checking if the CD is al right, it leaves your HDD untouched with that option. | 00:29 |
| rectec794613 | ok i'll report in a few mins, if i can still get on, CyberGabber, like i said im pretty experienced, but i've never encountered anything like this | 00:29 |
| mordof | shingen: sounds scary.. | 00:29 |
| rectec794613 | hey can i use that /me command? | 00:29 |
| rectec794613 | im new to irc | 00:30 |
| shingen | mordof: not painful, I do it all the time to violate my acceptable use policy at work :P | 00:30 |
| ConstantineXVI | oh, can mplayer/encoder handle CSS? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rectec794613: its /me first person verb | 00:30 |
| rectec794613 | no time, later | 00:30 |
| rectec794613 | noted | 00:30 |

| ActionParsnip | dexi: chmod +x jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin | 00:41 |
| dexi | ty | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dexi: the run it with ./jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dexi: make sure you are in the same dir as the file | 00:42 |
| smallfry | could someone help me please? | 00:42 |
| rww | blackest_knight: the package flashplugin-nonfree should do that =/. Ubuntu can't ship with Flash by default due to licensing restrictions, hence it requiring a separate package. | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | shingen: whats the issue? | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | smallfry: wassup? | 00:43 |
| onetinsoldier | smallfry: depends on what you mean. for Intrepid source? or kernel.org source? for Interpid i think it's 2.6.27-11. that's what i have anyway | 00:43 |
| blackest_knight | it doesnt thou, pain in the b... gettin flash 10 set up | 00:43 |
| shingen | ActionParsnip: fakeraid timeout during initramfs, easily solved by tossing sleep 10 in :P | 00:43 |

| MAXI-MUM | i cant boot into ubuntu after upgrade new ram 2x2GB =4gb , vista sees them 3.3 GB i read it's a limitation of my chipset it can reed max 3.3 gb any way is there a way to limit the ability of the kernel to discover the amount of memory i need to restrict it to 2 gb only that would make me able to dual boot ubuntu and vista again | 00:44 |
| seyfarth | Question. Does Firestarter automatically start on login, or is there a way to make it do that? The last time I ran ubuntu, about a year ago, it didn't do this. | 00:44 |
| blackest_knight | dexi google alsa 1.0.18 alsa ubuntu forums :) | 00:45 |
| onetinsoldier | dexi: yes... they released an open-source version of them back in November for the X-Fi | 00:45 |
| kapu | Does anyone here have knowledge that pertains to the nature of pci slots? I have a device (card) that says it runs best in a 64 bit slot. Does that mean I need a 64 bit cpu, and a 64 bit os as well? | 00:45 |
| dexi | ooh cool onetinsoldier :) | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seyfarth, what are you using firestarter for? | 00:45 |
| dexi | black will i need alsa if i have that? | 00:45 |
| ozgur | what's the command to install a downloaded package? | 00:45 |
| dexi | sudo apt-get install xxx | 00:45 |
| onetinsoldier | dexi: i don't know how hard it is getting them installed though | 00:45 |
| dexi | oh | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ozgur, is it a deb? | 00:45 |
| dexi | well i'll take a look | 00:45 |
| ozgur | yes | 00:45 |
| zsquareplusc | kapu: i think a 32 bit os works too. but the 64 bit OS will have better performance | 00:46 |
| shingen | kapu: no, it's only the bandwidth that's used for the bus interface (64 bit), it has nothing to do with the cpu interface | 00:46 |
| seyfarth | Jack_Sparrow: Just in case. I'm at a university, and the school's firewall only protects from connections outside the school. Students can get curious :) | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zsquareplusc, Very little performance gain with 64 bit | 00:46 |
| zsquareplusc | MAXI-MUM: the 3.something GB is a limit of the 32bit address room. however, also ubuntu should see these and still work | 00:46 |
| kapu | How would a 64 bit bus interface be denoted on a spec sheet? | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seyfarth, Sounds like window mentality. You do not need firestarter to be protected i ubuntu | 00:46 |
| seyfarth | Okay, thank you! | 00:47 |
| kapu | is there a common name for such a feature? | 00:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 00:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 00:47 |
| zsquareplusc | Jack_Sparrow: well the figures in that mac mini ubuntu 32/64 comparison shows that's not just 1% but much more in some cases | 00:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seyfarth, Most new users are less secure when they run firestarted | 00:47 |
| shingen | kapu: depends on the tech writer | 00:47 |
| MAXI-MUM | zsquareplusc, no it dont boot it reach the gdm and blank just before gdm i think before X | 00:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zsquareplusc, In some cases with some applications | 00:48 |
| dexi | augh. is there anything further i need to do with that java .bin? opera is still bugging me about it | 00:48 |
| kapu | is pci-x synonymous with 64 bit? | 00:48 |
| seyfarth | I understand. Thanks for your help! | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seyfarth, np | 00:48 |
| rww | seyfarth: if you decide you do need a firewall, though, check out ufw. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823741 . It comes with Ubuntu 8.10 and is nice and easy to use (and not as broken as firestarter >.>) | 00:48 |
| shingen | kapu: yes, it's the 64 bit version of PCI, found in higher end workstation and server motherboards back in the PIII & PIV era... it's somewhat outdated now | 00:48 |
| zsquareplusc | Jack_Sparrow: i refer to that http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_macosx&num=1 and there the difference is significant in most tests | 00:49 |
| kapu | shingen, you are very helpful . Thank you for your time. It is much appreciated. :-) | 00:49 |
| shingen | kapu: anytime | 00:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zsquareplusc, From years in here,, the real life experiences of our users dont agree with that | 00:49 |
| zsquareplusc | MAXI-MUM: ah, so it starts up but it fails to run X? | 00:49 |

| irbdavid | Seems that the trackpads are generally the suckiest parts of netbooks | 01:01 |
| zsquareplusc | phix: sorry? what? | 01:01 |
| grinn | Sorry, zsquareplusc | 01:01 |
| khoollah | thank U | 01:01 |
| dexi | uhmmmm | 01:01 |
| dexi | whats the comand to run something from terminal? | 01:02 |
| dexi | >.> | 01:02 |
| irbdavid | got a friend with the dell one, which is pretty nice apart from having a naff trackpad | 01:02 |
| mindrape | dexi - uh... just type the command name? | 01:02 |
| flo-isback | irbdavid: here all similar eeepc laptops http://wiki.eeeuser.com/devices_similar_to_the_eee_pc | 01:02 |
| mindrape | or do you mean like ALT + F2? | 01:02 |
| * dexi typed the filename to open | 01:02 | |
| shingen | dexi: unless you have . in your path, usually it's ./filename | 01:02 |
| zsquareplusc | grinn: did you try to move the window with the mouse left button and the ALT key pressed? | 01:02 |
| mindrape | dexi - you need to use nautilus if you want file associations to work and the appropriate app to launch it. | 01:02 |
| shingen | dexi: and that's only if you have execute permissions | 01:02 |
| dexi | k | 01:02 |
| mindrape | dexi - otherwise you need to vlc someviddy.mpg as an example and define the app that will launch it. | 01:03 |
| dexi | ill just see if i can do it gui | 01:03 |
| flo-isback | irbdavid: i have an eeepc and the track pad is quite horrible =/ | 01:03 |
| phix | zsquareplusc: being messaged privately without asking for permission :) | 01:03 |
| Philosophocles | dexi you need leopard | 01:03 |
| dexi | >.> | 01:03 |
| grinn | zsquareplusc: I'm not at an interface that i can do that at ... I'm stuck at a command prompt | 01:03 |

| iLogic | hey.. I'm having a hard time installing ubuntu 8.10, the loading bar just freezes a little before the third cell every time.. any thoughts? | 01:03 |
| zsquareplusc | phix: he did, so i used the bot :-) | 01:03 |
| irbdavid | the samsung one gets decent reviews, and has a larger battery | 01:03 |
| phix | zsquareplusc: :) | 01:03 |
| irbdavid | might be worth the extra ~30% cost | 01:03 |
| phix | I like ASUS | 01:03 |
| mindrape | iLogic: CTRL ALT F1 to drop to console and see what is going on behind the scenes to hold it up. | 01:04 |
| zsquareplusc | grinn: oh, you run the text mode installer or is it stuck at an error? | 01:04 |

| Doonz | thanx guys | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | faryshta, You boot a livecd but changes are saved to the usb | 01:06 |
| zsquareplusc | grinn: ah, that means it isn't finding the live cd (or live usb stick) what is your installation media? cd? usb? | 01:06 |

| max__ | This isn't really an ubuntu-related question, but still. | 01:08 |
| grinn | zsquareplusc: i think i might be able to fix this ... i may just be that stupid | 01:08 |
| zsquareplusc | grinn: you could make a bootable USB stick if you have one >1GB | 01:08 |
| max__ | Is it safe to use a Xeon fan on a Core 2 Duo processor? | 01:08 |

| sevenseeker | are dual ATI (crossfire) supported by fglrx? | 01:10 |
| rccu | sevenseeker: since 8.12 version, yes | 01:10 |
| Doonz | in grub does it have to boot off the drive based on the uuid or can i set it to /dev/sda | 01:10 |
| iLogic | mindrape: doesn't make any sense.. | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dooglus, /dev will work | 01:10 |
| sevenseeker | rccu: thank you! great to hear... how is the performance in your opinion? | 01:10 |
| shingen | I've seen references to 8.12, is that dev only version? | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shingen, there should not be a point release in anything except lts releases | 01:11 |
| sevenseeker | http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html | 01:11 |
| rww | shingen: rccu's talking about fglrx version 8.12, the current version of fglrx. Not Ubuntu :) | 01:11 |
| rccu | sevenseeker: umm.. it may have supported it since 8.8... | 01:11 |

| shingen | rww: I've seen references to 8.12 with nubuntu, which is why I asked :) | 01:13 |
| rww | shingen: ah. There is no Ubuntu 8.12. Next version of Ubuntu after 8.10 is 9.04. | 01:13 |

| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 01:15 |
| shingen | rww: must be just nubuntu then, making up non-standard build versions because they failed to get a 8.10 out there in time :) | 01:15 |

| onetinsoldier | DIFH-iceroot: nope. i just put 2 files into it | 01:15 |
| max__ | How come when I try burning a CD and running firefox, things are extremely slow? | 01:15 |

| powertool08 | too slow for top? is that possible? | 01:16 |
| max__ | Yes. | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | max__, probably incorrect video config.. | 01:16 |
| mindrape | powertool08: no, it's a blatant exaggeration. | 01:16 |
| max__ | Hmm? | 01:16 |
| max__ | But I'm running drivers properly... | 01:16 |
| zsquareplusc | max__: heavy IO can make your computer slow, even when the CPU is fast. also make sure it's not using to much memory and starts using swap | 01:16 |

| doglino | zsquareplusc do you use Rhythmbox? | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hou5ton, We dont support gentoo | 01:36 |
| zsquareplusc | doglino: nope, but it is installed by default. it should also default to pulse audio | 01:37 |
| raylu | powertool08: shell, actually | 01:37 |
| transporter | aganthorp: this is a bit weird but it seems to be working normally now but still i would like to see what caused it | 01:37 |
| hou5ton | Jack_Sparrow: no ... I'm on ubuntu ... it's the file manager that just happens to be named gentoo | 01:37 |
| powertool08 | raylu: ah, thanks for the correction | 01:37 |
| shingen | how can I turn off usplash to see the boot messages? | 01:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hou5ton, What exactly does lsb_release -a in a term tell you | 01:37 |
| ligeia1 | I am trying to enable horizontal edge scrolling on a macbook 4.1. My /etc/hal/fdi/policy/appletouch.fdi: http://pastebin.com/f2a5eb782 and my /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/f6af44142 indicate that HorizEdgeScroll should be set to true. However, xinput returns "Synaptics Edge Scrolling: 1, 0, 0" which indicates that horizontal scrolling is not enabled. Indeed, horizontal scrolling does not work. But if I do «xinput set-int-prop | 01:37 |
| raylu | shingen: in /boot/grub/menu.lst, take out quiet from defoptions | 01:37 |
| raylu | shingen: then, update-grub | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shingen, remove quiet and splash from the boot line | 01:38 |
| shingen | thanks | 01:38 |
| raylu | you can still see boot messages with splash on | 01:38 |

| powertool08 | shingen: you can also switch to the messages on only the current boot with ctrl+f1 or ctrl+alt+f1 I forget which, then on the next boot its back to usplash | 01:39 |

| hou5ton | Jack_Sparrow: I want to be able to open a file manager sometimes that will let me move stuff anywhere I want | 01:39 |
| raylu | hou5ton: +x on a directory gives you the permission to move into int | 01:39 |

| raylu | mactimes: you can set it to not ask for the password... | 01:43 |
| zsquareplusc | joe-coder: and with pm-hibernate? do you have a swap partition that is working an large enough (hibernate uses that) | 01:43 |
| ligeia1 | dexi: Stick to the repository if you want to stay sane. Do you have a good reason for upgrading? | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, try looking at getdeb.net for a precompiled version | 01:43 |
| dexi | zsquareplusc: ligeia1 ^see above | 01:43 |
| zsquareplusc | dexi: apt-get build-dep pidgin | 01:43 |
| rww | mactimes: echo "passwordgoeshere" | sudo -S commandnamehere should work. | 01:43 |
| dexi | thanks zsquareplusc that should do it | 01:44 |
| rww | mactimes: though there's probably a more elegant way of doing it | 01:44 |
| ligeia1 | mactimes: why? | 01:44 |

| raylu | mactimes: but you're doing these installs over a network... | 01:49 |
| ligeia1 | mactimes: if you run the script with sudo everything inside calling sudo should be able to sudo (I think), but what scripts? | 01:49 |
| Pasku | ok | 01:50 |
| rww | mactimes: what ligeia1 said is true. Just write the script without any sudos, then do sudo scriptname. | 01:50 |
| raylu | ligeia1: /media/MyBook is _not_ the ntfs drive | 01:50 |
| mactimes | ligeia1: sudo sessions won't last much long. I'll have to type the password again once the sudo session expires and I don't want to disable sudo either. | 01:50 |
| raylu | mactimes: the time can be increased and the prompt for a password can be removed | 01:51 |
| rww | mactimes: umm. If you run a script under sudo, the sudo session lasts for the entire time the script is running. | 01:51 |
| conrad_ | could anyone tell me how to boot from CD-ROM in qtemu? | 01:51 |
| ligeia1 | raylu: what is? magikid said it was before iirc | 01:51 |

| xjunior | my networkmanager applet is showing my wired connection, but as disabled and with the following message "device is not manageable" | 01:56 |

| BinaryBoy001 | !tab | 01:57 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:57 |
| rww | mactimes: What I'm saying is, write a shell script that looks something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/96452/ , then run it as sudo scriptname.sh (after chmodding it, obviously). You're saying that this will what, magically change the user the script's running under when sudo's passwordless timeout thing runs out? Because that hasn't been my experience. | 01:57 |
| ligeia1 | templaedhel: then no since the latest itunesdb hash hasn't been reverse engineered. Write a letter to apple | 01:57 |
| raylu | magikid: i'd suggest unmounting it and remounting as ntfs-3g | 01:57 |
| ali1234 | mactimes: session time doesn't matter if you run the script with sudo. it, and any commands it runs, will have permissions until the original script (and therefore sudo) terminates | 01:57 |
| templaedhel | ligeia1: so I have to use itunes to get stuff onto the phone? | 01:58 |

| xjunior | my networkmanager applet is showing my wired connection, but as disabled and with the following message "device is not manageable" | 01:58 |
| magikid | raylu: would that me "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/MyBook -t ntfs-3g" ? | 01:59 |
| ligeia1 | templaedhel: yes and no. You can jailbreak it and then ssh into it. You can then use the dtunes app on your phone to play your media | 01:59 |

| un_dave | hey all. i installed pidgin from source, and now i want to uninstall it so i can install the latest version. how can i uninstall something without the package manager ? | 02:00 |
| magikid | raylu: yeah, I unmounted it then issued the command. I tried touching a file in it and it gave me the same error | 02:01 |
| ligeia1 | un_dave: How did you install it? | 02:01 |
| natnayr89 | un_dave: sudo apt-get [remove/uninstall i think] | 02:01 |
| raylu | magikid: could you show us the relevant mount line again? | 02:01 |
| un_dave | ligeia1: i installed it from source. | 02:02 |
| rww | natnayr89: doesn't work if he installed from source (i.e., not using apt-get or a .deb package) | 02:02 |
| ligeia1 | un_dave: that's ambiguous. Did you use 'make install'? | 02:02 |
| un_dave | natnayr89: isnt that only if i'd installed the package? | 02:02 |
| simplenewb | how do I enable individual bluetooth services? | 02:02 |
| ali1234 | un_dave: you can try to 'make uninstall' - if that doesn't work you are pretty much out of luck | 02:02 |
| un_dave | ligeia1: yes, i believe so. i downloaded the source, and followed the instructions in there. i think it used make install | 02:02 |
| ligeia1 | un_dave: you can try 'make uninstall' from the same place you ran make install then. If that rule doesn't exist, then just use rm | 02:03 |
| nestor | wow ubuntu is pretty cool. I like it as much as windows but i cant play my fav mmorpg haha | 02:03 |
| un_dave | ali1234: where would i run make uninstall? i had the source on the desktop when i first installed, but i think i deleted the folder ages ago | 02:03 |
| ali1234 | un_dave: you'll have to get the source code again, and rerun configure | 02:04 |

| raylu | magikid: -a will mount it according to your fstab line, which already says it's ntfs-3g | 02:06 |
| rww | pikario: linux uses dotfiles in your home directory to store configuration stuff, not a centralized registry | 02:06 |
| onetinsoldier | un_dave: you do have one choice to get it cleanly uninstalled right now.. want to hear it? | 02:06 |
| raylu | magikid: the output of mount you just showed me says that it's not currently mounted as ntfs-3g | 02:06 |

| Azazel-AZ | any thoughts or help with pidgin? | 02:06 |
| ali1234 | un_dave: if the programmers were lazy there might not be an uninstall rule in the makefile though, in which case... the easiest way would be to run './configure --prefix=/tmp/somedir; make; make install' and then look at what ended up in /tmp/somedir and delete those files manually (they will be in /usr/local by default) | 02:07 |

| ligeia1 | un_dave, ali1234: well even easier is to reinstall it using checkinstall and then uninstalling using APT if the make uninstall rule doesn't exist | 02:08 |

| Azazel-AZ | raylu, I added account, so far nothing out to stderr | 02:08 |
| onetinsoldier | un_dave: since you did not use checkinstall, tis is what you'd do. ok. you download the source tarball again if you no longer have it. then you unpack it and run the ./configure script again. at that point, you can run 'make uninstall' | 02:09 |
| un_dave | onetinsoldier: and if i have a .deb file, i wont have to keep the source folder hanging around? i'll just be able to use the package manager? because that'd be ideal in future | 02:09 |
| un_dave | onetinsoldier: about to do that nowq | 02:09 |

| ligeia1 | simpleos: only if you ask the room a question | 02:13 |
| Azazel-AZ | raylu: before dropping in here I ran sudo aptiget autoremove --purge pidgin and re-installed it. | 02:13 |

| tons2000 | where is the firefox/mozilla plugin directory on 8.10 with ff3? | 02:33 |
| eseven73 | Azazel-AZ: put sudo before that | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | un_dave: oh? hmmm | 02:33 |
| MikeH | rww: So how do I get the normal gnome desktop? I've tried installing gnome-desktop and changing the default session, to no avail | 02:33 |
| Azazel-AZ | I don't want to change those, that was the mistake a second ago. | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | un_dave: so, install it | 02:33 |

| un_dave | onetinsoldier: yup. now configure works without any exceptions :D i always just disabled the network manager support. :) it's 'make'ing now | 02:34 |
| onetinsoldier | un_dave: ok, coolio | 02:34 |
| Azazel-AZ | I can fix this, but who owns lost+found? there is no lost+found on the hardy machine I'm using to debug this ibex one | 02:34 |

| MikeH | so I installed it | 02:36 |
| MikeH | :/ | 02:36 |
| Azazel-AZ | thanks, that was my guess, but ask twice screw it up once | 02:36 |
| Out_Cold | back up and install ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04 and then install the studio if you want | 02:36 |
| un_dave | onetinsoldier: hey, just a random question. if i have this compiling in a terminal on the desktop, and i close the terminal window, will the command finish executing? or will it be terminated? | 02:36 |
| mdg | MikeH, what did you install the mini iso on? | 02:36 |
| tons2000 | Out_Cold - i don't think there is anymore.... | 02:36 |
| tons2000 | un_dave - terminated | 02:36 |
| rww | un_dave: terminated, usually | 02:36 |
| tons2000 | un_dave - that's why screen is awesome ;) | 02:36 |
| Out_Cold | any more what tons2000 | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | un_dave: that would terminate it unless you want to use job control to put it into the background | 02:36 |
| MikeH | mdg: What do you mean? I burnt it to a dvd (only thing available), and installed it to a spare partition? | 02:36 |
| tons2000 | Out_Cold - ubuntu studio started out as a separate install | 02:36 |
| un_dave | ok, cool thats what i thought. | 02:37 |

| rodolfo | Firefox keeps eating up my processor! It seems that it happens randomly and all I gotta do is download a new browser like flock at getdeb.net. There is the .deb installer to DL but the question here is: how to uninstall a program installed manually? | 02:52 |
| bobbie4 | Hey, I somehow boned something up. I've got an acer aspire one, I wanted to leave the Linpus on the internal SSD but install Ubuntu 8.10 on an external USB HDD. The install went okay, except for the fact that I can't boot from either the external drive or the internal drive. Keeps reporting a Grub 2 error. Any ideas? | 02:52 |
| wikki | fodolfo, a manually installed deb? | 02:53 |
| rodolfo | wikki, yeah | 02:53 |
| wikki | use dpkg | 02:53 |
| evowill | rodolfo: If you installed a .deb, you can use dpkg | 02:53 |
| dgar1 | rodolfo: dpkg --remove the_package_name | 02:53 |
| wikki | I have that same problem rodolfo | 02:53 |
| wikki | with firefox | 02:53 |
| rodolfo | wikki evowill dgarl, what is this command for? | 02:53 |
| wikki | dpkg is the debian package manager | 02:54 |
| rodolfo | wikki, so fr is there a workaround from mozilla? | 02:54 |
| rodolfo | so far* | 02:54 |
| wikki | I don't know of one | 02:54 |
| wikki | mine seems to do it with flash sites | 02:54 |

| wikki | anyone know why that might happen? | 02:56 |
| rodolfo | the weird part is when you run a .flv file through totem media player, it doesn't require too much power processor but viewing a flash movie @ youtube burns my processor... | 02:56 |

| nogagplz | rodolfo: agreed, youtube embedded videos on my pentium 3 kills it | 02:56 |

| rodolfo | sadly I have experienced this issue since 7.10 | 02:57 |
| _cb | zsquareplusc don't think it is ISP that list used to work out of Outlook. What do you mean by proper mailing list? | 02:57 |
| Guest23955 | wikki, used for intergrated graphics? | 02:57 |
| rodolfo | and I don't know whose fault it is...mozilla, adobe or they both...? | 02:57 |
| eseven73 | rodolfo: more likely its a Flash issue | 02:58 |
| wikki | I don't think so guest, my 1 gb worked fine, it looks like it's hitting the 3.2 gb 32 bit limit | 02:58 |
| wikki | eseven73: I think it's a flash issue too, but i'm still not sure what to do | 02:59 |
| AltiusBimm | greetings, there seems to be a bit of a logic error in 9.04 alpha 2 that keeps the liveCD login in an infinite loop. I should be able to work around it if someone knows the default users "ubuntu" password | 02:59 |
| zsquareplusc | _cb: a mailing list is a service where many people can subscribe. but you sent mails to only one address and all subscribers get a copy. mailman is such a server but there are also free services where you don't need your own server | 02:59 |
| rodolfo | eseven73 then maybe using another Flach media player can get this solved. is Gnash mature enough to do the job? | 02:59 |
| dsdeiz | oh, so to hide files you need to put 'dot' at the beginning? | 02:59 |
| Guest23955 | wikki, do u get same problem from 64 bit live cd? | 02:59 |
| bazhang | AltiusBimm, #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion | 02:59 |
| Bit_Breaker | lol@ dot at the begging | 02:59 |
| wikki | yes Guest23955 | 02:59 |
| rww | dsdeiz: putting a dot in front of the name tells your file manager that it's a system file, so it doesn't show it by default. they're not very well hidden :) | 02:59 |
| _cb | zsquareplusc thanks. Don't write often enough to warrant that. Just trying to set up pickup soccer games with friends | 03:00 |
| Guest23955 | wikki, if it happens in multiple different versions then thats not a software problem | 03:00 |
| eseven73 | rodolfo: flash issues can be complicated and above my expertise, you'll have to just keep asking like every 5 mins or so. :) | 03:00 |
| ensi | useless | 03:00 |
| Guest23955 | like multiple diff ubuntu versions or distros | 03:00 |
| wikki | all 4gb shows up in the bios | 03:01 |

| Guest23955 | wikki, video isnt used in bios tho so it must used for video...do u have an intergrated video card? | 03:02 |
| wikki | yes, but I'm pretty sure it has it's own memory | 03:02 |
| rodolfo | dgar1: the 'dpkg --remove the_package_name' command is supposed to be used using the terminal browsing the location where the app is installed or this is not necessary? | 03:03 |
| Guest23955 | wikki, is it a laptop? | 03:03 |
| wikki | no | 03:03 |

| onetinsoldier | MikeH: you may have created the file and put it in place, but have you restarted X since doing so? | 03:13 |
| waxhead_ | damo22: maybe... as long as you mount it iwth the right filesystem you should be fine... | 03:13 |
| waxhead_ | damo22: it's a mirror, so you have 2 to go with... striping is more of a problem as you would have to get at least 2 of the 3 ( if you used 3 ) up to get at your data | 03:14 |
| caca | hi | 03:14 |
| onetinsoldier | MikeH: also, check out --> grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you don't want to look through the whole file | 03:14 |
| dgar1 | ohmygod: find /usr/src -iname 'asm/io.h' | 03:14 |
| damo22 | waxhead_: even with an obscure raid controller... it wouldnt partition the drive in an unreadable way? | 03:14 |
| onetinsoldier | ohmygod: you'll need to make a symlink | 03:14 |
| ohmygod | zsquareplusc, no, The header file should in /usr/include/asm/ , but there's nothing. | 03:14 |

| kdubya | hey i just got a machine from dell with ubuntu installed, and it wont let me ssh to any other machines | 03:16 |
| kdubya | it just hangs after authentication | 03:16 |
| waxhead_ | damo22: I can't see why it would.. even for a mirror... but then I'm not the world's best expert on things like this... | 03:16 |
| damo22 | waxhead_: my friend tried putting the 2 drives into an external raid box, but the drives wouldnt appear (on a mac) | 03:16 |

| antonia-laptop | hey guys, my laptop is having some graphic card issues, it says that fglrx needs to be enabled yet it doesnt enable it, however, xorg-driver-fglrx was installed and when i uninstalled x failed to start untill i reinstalled it. Also, i cannot shut down nor log off from the menu, i have to open a console and type sudo reboot | 03:16 |
| ohmygod | zsquareplusc, then, I have to make a symlink to it? ok, thanks | 03:17 |
| waxhead_ | damo22: if it was me, I'd just try the one disk on a spare controller (IDE? SATA? ) and see if I could mount that... | 03:17 |
| damo22 | waxhead_: ok thanks i'll tell him to give that a try | 03:17 |
| Delvien | In bash, how do i change the working directory? | 03:17 |

| daskreech | X no longer works | 04:06 |
| dexi | AH i probably just put those files in the plugin dir........ >.> duh. | 04:06 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: what video card? | 04:06 |

| shingen | itai-michaelson: shorthand for pentium 4 | 04:07 |
| blackest_knight | dexi start off with sudo apt-get build essential then look for dev packages of everything the compile complains about | 04:07 |
| eseven73 | blackest_knight: you forgot 'install' | 04:07 |
| dumples | Also, this might sound dumb, but is there a way to get 1200 x 800? | 04:07 |
| blackest_knight | yep i did :) | 04:07 |
| nbeebo | gnea, ati radeon x1950 pro | 04:07 |
| dexi | blackest_knight: got build essentials, it doesnt complain about anything... i think its just some files that i need to put in the right place. | 04:07 |
| itai-michaelson | shingen, of course... thanks | 04:07 |
| shingen | why oh god why did they lie about intrepid supporting fakeraid?!?!?!?! | 04:08 |
| daskreech | To get market share | 04:08 |
| blackest_knight | with the pidgin stuff i did i had to ./Configure then make then make install and i think i needed a later version of something in intrepid | 04:09 |
| shingen | about to dash brains out on 8.10 dvd... | 04:09 |
| itzhero | Anybody use VirtualBox with an external? | 04:09 |

| blackest_knight | itzhero yes | 04:09 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: got the correct driver on it? | 04:09 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: i do, its kinda a pain, but it works | 04:09 |
| dexi | blackest_knight: yeah for most stuff thats the case, but this tar.gz only has some .c files in it... which i had no idea what to do with | 04:09 |
| nbeebo | gnea, i installed the restricted drivers right after first boot | 04:09 |
| itzhero | I have all my music on my external and I want to put it in my iTunes to put on my iPhone | 04:09 |
| blackest_knight | dexi: no make ? | 04:10 |
| eseven73 | i cant get Vbox to use my external hdd for Snapshots, works fine for the actual VDI file | 04:10 |
| itzhero | I got my iPhone to connect, I just can't get the external. I have it unmounted from ubuntu | 04:10 |
| shingen | I've done alot more low level linux hacking today than I have in a loooong time... intrepid LIES!!!! | 04:10 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, hmm for some reason my xorg.conf is the default | 04:10 |
| hanasaki | installed php5 however apache is serving the php pages to the browser not interpreting them in php. whats worng and how is it fixed? | 04:10 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, no it isnt sorry | 04:10 |
| blackest_knight | dexi give mee a url for the tar.gz | 04:10 |
| eseven73 | hanasaki: you need libapache2 i think its called | 04:11 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: np, have you ran this? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:11 |
| nomasteryoda | howdy people... why would my DVD iso burning make my mouse and cursor so laggy? - Ubuntu 8.10 fully patched | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | brb | 04:11 |
| nomasteryoda | same for CDs too | 04:11 |
| shingen | nomasteryoda: what's your hw specs? | 04:11 |
| nomasteryoda | i burn fine in sidux, fedora, etc. | 04:11 |
| dexi | blackest_knight: http://extpos.mdsc.info/downloads.htm | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | i A libapache2-mod-php5 - server-side, H <== what is the "A"? | 04:12 |
| itzhero | blackest_knight & eseven73 : can one of you guys help me get my external hooked up? :) | 04:12 |
| eseven73 | hanasaki: ask onetinsoldier he's the dpkg master | 04:12 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, that didnt really do anything except keyboard options and the option to use the framebuffer in the beginning | 04:12 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: it wont mount or what? | 04:12 |
| hanasaki | onetinsoldier: ?? | 04:12 |
| daskreech | Ok anyone wants to help with my sound being crap? | 04:13 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: okay, have you tried restarting X since? | 04:13 |
| hanasaki | eseven73: I did a reinstall of i A libapache2-mod-php5 / still dont work | 04:13 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, yes, rebooted | 04:13 |
| Gnea | !sound | daskreech | 04:13 |
| ubottu | daskreech: 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 | 04:13 |
| hanasaki | restarted apache and also cleared the browser cache | 04:13 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: hrmmm | 04:13 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, fglrx is in use, i can post the xorg.conf if u want.. | 04:13 |
| itzhero | eseven73: its checked under Devices -> USB | 04:13 |
| itzhero | but it won't show up in my computer | 04:13 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: sure - could you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well? | 04:13 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, alright | 04:14 |
| pikario | hi im sorry if this isnt the right place to ask but what is an md5sum in this file im downloading | 04:14 |
| eseven73 | hanasaki: odd, libapache should fix the prob of browser downloading a .php file instead of serving it | 04:14 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, first conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96543/ | 04:14 |
| hanasaki | eseven73: do you have any "AddType" in your config? | 04:14 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: does it show up with 'sudo fdisk -l'? | 04:14 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, and the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96544/ | 04:14 |
| cryz | anyone here familiar with dmcrypt-luks ? | 04:14 |
| evowill | pikario: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 04:14 |
| shingen | pikario: md5sum is a unique hash generated by running md5 generator, to ensure the file is not corrupt | 04:15 |
| Gnea | awesome! one moment... | 04:15 |
| blackest_knight | dexi its source for windows | 04:15 |
| nbeebo | okay! | 04:15 |
| eseven73 | hanasaki: i set my lamp up with some HOW TO i found on google, i can find the link for you if you want | 04:15 |
| nomasteryoda | shingen, Intel 1.4Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM | 04:15 |
| dexi | >.> :( | 04:15 |
| hanasaki | eseven73: been there already.... | 04:15 |
| dexi | i wish theyd be clearer on that stuff | 04:15 |
| itzhero | eseven73: yes, when not checked in virtualbox | 04:16 |
| itzhero | Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System | 04:16 |
| itzhero | /dev/sdb1 1 121601 976760001 7 HPFS/NTFS | 04:16 |
| pikario | will md5 also ensure that a file is an original file and not modified by some bad person? | 04:16 |
| blackest_knight | well the win32 on the page the dll file both helped | 04:16 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: oh yeah, gotta switch that driver out | 04:16 |
| eseven73 | hanasaki: with this howto theres a few steps you have to edit apache configs to prevent .php files from downloading | 04:16 |
| dexi | does anyone have a cure for a super-sensitive scrollwheel? | 04:16 |
| adam7 | dexi: what mouse is it? | 04:16 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: (WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported | 04:16 |
| hanasaki | sure .. send the link.. would expect the aptitude isntall to do it right though.... | 04:17 |
| razordead | pikario: if the file has been modified, the md5sum will be different | 04:17 |

| pragmaticpie | Are there any PDA-phones better supported than the Palm series? | 04:17 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: hmm itzhero if you're external is mounted, vbox should have no prob using it | 04:17 |
| dexi | adam7: unfortunately a microsoft mouse... 5 button wireless | 04:17 |
| pikario | how can i check a file's md5 sum in ubuntu? | 04:17 |

| pragmaticpie | I'm looking for something more Ubuntu-compatible than my Treo 650. | 04:17 |

| Gnea | nbeebo: ^^ that's the culprit | 04:17 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, hmmm.. what can i do? | 04:17 |
| hanasaki | eseven73: sure.. IM it to me please so I dont miss it.. BRB | 04:17 |
| adam7 | dexi: unplug the receiver and plug it back in | 04:17 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, :D | 04:17 |
| peepsalot | how can I display an app window that is running, but is not showing in the taskbar? | 04:17 |
| dexi | adam7: k *tries* | 04:18 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: just for fun 'n giggles, reconfigure again, but choose the VESA driver instead of fglrx | 04:18 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: this may or may not get the full res | 04:18 |
| itzhero | eseven73: it detects the iPhone, and when i run fdisk -l when its checked in vbox, it does not show up in the list, neither does the iPhone which is in use on the vbox | 04:18 |
| eseven73 | hanasaki: http://lijamez.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/lighting-up-lamp/ | 04:18 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, the xorg stuff doesnt do that anymore, only "framebuffer: yes or no?" and keyboard options | 04:18 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, i can change fglrx to vesa in the conf?? | 04:19 |
| cryz | anyone familiar with dmcrypt? | 04:19 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: yeah, that'll work | 04:19 |
| dexi | adam7: wow that did the trick! thanks | 04:19 |
| Dingbat67 | Question: I use a KVM and everytime I switch to another machine and come back to my ubuntu machine, the wheel on my mouse doesn't work anymore. | 04:19 |
| adam7 | dexi: you have no idea how long it took me to figure that out ;) | 04:19 |
| Dingbat67 | Only a reboot fixes it (although I would think logout login would probably work too) | 04:19 |
| dexi | adam7: its not the normal problem you would think "check the plug" would apply to | 04:19 |
| nomasteryoda | Dingbat67, is it usb mouse? | 04:19 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: i question that its even mounted then. have you checked in /media/? | 04:19 |
| MikeH | Hrm | 04:19 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, ok brb i think it wont work brb.. | 04:19 |
| nomasteryoda | i've had issues iwth cerrtain kvms | 04:19 |
| adam7 | dexi: nope. I've come to the conclusion that the Microsoft mouse receivers store a small amount of data in them | 04:20 |
| itzhero | eseven73: no, it unmounts when i enable it under vbox devices | 04:20 |
| MikeH | After installing ubuntu, my old ntfs partition on the same drive is no longer showing as ntfs, can this be repaired/restored? | 04:20 |
| adam7 | dexi: turning the computer off completely usually solves the problem too | 04:20 |
| itzhero | the iphone isn't mounted to linux either, however it is still usable in windows vbox | 04:20 |
| dexi | adam7: BLAH turn off? nevar! | 04:20 |
| onetinsoldier | hanasaki: hello? | 04:20 |
| adam7 | dexi: Just saying, it usually fixes it | 04:20 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: ah, wow ok im not sure then | 04:20 |
| onetinsoldier | hanasaki: sorry, was away a bit there? what's up? | 04:20 |
| Dingbat67 | BTW: using xubuntu on Celeron 400 with 384 megs of RAM, decided to resurrect this old PC just for fun. | 04:21 |
| dexi | adam7: lol kk ty. switchin over to windows for the time being... ill be back sometime for more help | 04:21 |
| itzhero | eseven73: it can only be mounted to one or the other, correct? not both? | 04:21 |
| itzhero | is there a way i can share a folder on the external thru vbox? | 04:21 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: and? | 04:21 |
| eseven73 | yes you can share folders | 04:21 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, great now i got 800x600.. | 04:21 |
| itzhero | so would that be the best way to go about it? | 04:21 |

| k0tar3l | im trying to install wireless drivers for atheros AR5006X chipset and madwifi doesnt seem to work.... help? | 04:21 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, and its max | 04:21 |
| onetinsoldier | eseven73: eseven73: hanasaki: ask onetinsoldier he's the dpkg master. lol, thanks | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: well first you need to figure out why things are not mounting before you do anything with Vbox | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | lol onetinsoldier :) | 04:22 |
| onetinsoldier | hanasaki: hello? sorry, i was away a bit there. what's up? | 04:22 |
| itzhero | eseven73: guest editions are installed. | 04:22 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, if i turn on gflrx again and try chaning the ati settings maybe itll work? | 04:22 |
| itzhero | eseven73: i followed this tutorial to get it working thusfar: http://maketecheasier.com/sync-ipod-touch-with-win-xp-vm-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2008/12/16 | 04:23 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: i wouldnt worry bout that right now, you need to figure out why mounting is buggy | 04:23 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: have you tried the radeon driver? | 04:23 |
| nbeebo | Gnea, how is that? | 04:23 |
| crdlb | k0tar3l: using inrepid? | 04:24 |
| crdlb | intrepid* | 04:24 |

| nbeebo | Gnea, ive trie the radeon instead of vesa before but didnt install that .. thanks | 04:24 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: if that doesn't work, then we'll have to set the monitor detection manually | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | itzhero: not sure man, i dont use 8.10 | 04:24 |
| altf2o | hey room quick question: Using SSH i currently have it setup pretty normal, users supply name\pass combo. I was looking into 'key-based' authentication which appears to be able to allow logins w/ or w/o a password on that 'trusted key'. Other then perhaps some automated tasks, is there any /real/ benefit to using key-based as apposed to the 'standard' login? | 04:24 |
| itzhero | oh okay, thanks for your help. i'll keep working on this | 04:24 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: okay, what monitor do you have? make & model? | 04:25 |

| razordead | Fragsworth: I saw lots of posts on Ubuntu forums about remote desktop when I searched there | 04:28 |
| onetinsoldier | jordo2323: yes, i have, by installing Jaunty | 04:28 |
| onetinsoldier | !jaunty | 04:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 04:28 |
| Gnea | miranda_psi: it means one of 2 things: a) pulseaudio isn't setup right, or b) you have a half-duplex soundcard. | 04:28 |
| jordo2323 | onetinsoldier, I am running intrepid and have seen a bunch of ways to install this, what repo do you suggest? | 04:28 |
| jacekowski | Fragsworth: i think the best option is NX | 04:28 |
| jacekowski | Fragsworth: freenx | 04:29 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: you have a very nice monitor (sans HDMI :/ ) and they even put the horizontal and verticals up there for ya: http://benq.com/products/LCD/?product=1282&page=specifications | 04:29 |
| miranda_psi | Gnea: its on a very recent laptop model and the pulse configuration is the default (and not everything goes through pulse either) | 04:29 |
| onetinsoldier | jordo2323: well, as i said, i installed Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalope in order to install it. so, that's what i'd recommend. i just made it another installation of linux in free space that i had available on my hard drive | 04:30 |
| Gnea | nbeebo: and, someone posted the solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=668343 | 04:30 |

| \kira | Boohbah: thanks | 04:50 |
| chilli0 | crdlb: i need it for a program | 04:50 |
| timboy | is there a way I can tell what directory firefox is using for plugins??? | 04:50 |
| crdlb | chilli0: that isn't available (even an older version) in the repos? | 04:51 |
| chilli0 | crdlb: ok how do i install it? | 04:51 |
| crdlb | chilli0: what program is it? | 04:51 |
| chilli0 | crdlb: airsnort why? | 04:52 |
| kandjar | does anybody know why i have to remove and readd my bluetooth mouse every time the computer reboot? | 04:52 |
| RomD | walt, I think the author means that you don't have to mess a lot with the xorg.conf anymore in 8.10, but it's still used | 04:52 |
| Boohbah | chilli0: it should automatically pull in dependencies if you install it with apt | 04:52 |
| WebcamWonder | walt: AFAIK, there is a default xorg.conf it falls back if it doesn't find a xorg.conf file. If it is present, it goes ahead and uses it | 04:52 |
| chilli0 | Boohbah: its not apt , i have to complile the program | 04:53 |
| crdlb | chilli0: as far as I can tell, airsnort has been superceded by aircrack-ng | 04:53 |

| chilli0 | walt: if ur using a nvida graphics driver i can help you set up 2 monotors | 04:56 |
| eseven73 | not sure if that can be done on CLI or not im asumming there is a way though | 04:56 |

| RomD | I even tried switching the plugs on the card | 05:03 |
| nbeebo | nevermind got it | 05:03 |

| bluvio | hi. just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.o4 (for some reason 8.04 crashed once too often on shutdown ... corrupting the HD in the process). No crashes so far with 8.10 :) Ok, my q: I'm on Toshiba Satellite R10 laptop. The shortcut [Fn][F6] and [Fn][F7] which normally control my screen's brightness (works with 8.04 and MSWin) doesn't seem to work in 8.10. What's the fix here ... | 05:04 |

| chilli0 | bluvio: im having weird issues with the back light , diffrent lappy thoe | 05:05 |
| RomD | chilli0, just to be clear: twinview works fine. I've got a problem with the refresh rates. | 05:05 |
| RomD | http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=7405&highlight=tearing+twinview | 05:05 |
| nbeebo | bluvio, not 100% sure but thats for me | 05:05 |
| Boohbah | att0: 'cd /mnt/point' | 05:05 |
| RomD | the last post | 05:05 |
| Boohbah | att0: find where it's mounted with the 'mount' command | 05:05 |
| chilli0 | k RomD i see | 05:05 |
| chilli0 | mine just worked | 05:05 |
| chilli0 | lol | 05:05 |
| chilli0 | RomD: try exiting compiz | 05:06 |
| RomD | so since twinview takes the refresh rate of one monitor and forces it over the whole display, on screen is always tearing if it doesn't sync exactly to 60hz | 05:06 |
| RomD | display=surface | 05:06 |
| chilli0 | i gotcha | 05:06 |
| RomD | I don't mind it on the second screen like I said | 05:06 |
| att0 | Boohbah:I'm sorry, I'm not following you...could you explain further? | 05:06 |
| RomD | but it refuses to take screen one | 05:06 |
| dgar1 | att0: find the mount point with df -hT then cd /media/the_mount_point | 05:06 |
| chilli0 | RomD: select screen 1 as the priamary | 05:07 |

| RomD | I haven't found a thread about this problem so far, so I'm probably better off opening one on the nvidia linux forum | 05:08 |
| andresmh | i haven't identified when exactly it happens as sometimes when it's idle for a while it doesn't happen | 05:08 |

| nbeebo | bluvio, try running 'xgamma -g 1.5" in the console and see if that works, if it works change back with 'xgamma -g 1" | 05:09 |

| att0 | Amber_:how would I do that? | 05:13 |
| eseven73 | ewww pastebin.com you guys should really use paste.ubuntu.com | 05:13 |
| rww | att0: type "mount" in a terminal and look for the line that has /dev/sdb1 at the start of it, look a little further on and see what it's mount point is (should say something like "/dev/sdb1 on MOUNTPOINT") and do cd mountpoint (e.g. cd /media/disk-1) | 05:14 |

| chilli0 | blender isnt to hard i use it, | 05:22 |
| zboy | I was thinking of making (1) 40GB primary partition for Vista installation (2) a 80GB primary partition in Vista for data [photos, games, etc] (3) 200GB extended partition for Ubuntu. | 05:22 |
| Fezzler | chilli0: really, try blender? | 05:22 |
| chilli0 | yeh, its great | 05:22 |
| zboy | I'm stuck with what partitions are needed, though. I am used to Mandrake Linux (hehe that's the last Linux I used) where you needed a swap partition and a /root. What partitions have you all used for Ubuntu? | 05:22 |

| izinucs | gbear14275, synaptic gives you the ability of seeing more that's available in the repos.. other than that they get their info and install in the same basic manner. | 05:35 |

| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 05:37 |
| xav_ | yes i think so. except i never rebooted into setup. | 05:37 |
| R1_ | !boot | 05:37 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 05:37 |

| izinucs | whole_la | 05:38 |
| ozatomic | but apt-get should install the file for me | 05:38 |
| gbear14275 | forensicwannabe: yes, I am new but have managed to transition completely over to linux in the last few months. pretty proud of it :). but there are a few basic/cultural questions I have from time to time. To me it makes sense to recommend basic installs use the add/remove application and only when a user needs finer grained control to point them to synaptic... but i never seem to see this | 05:38 |
| sancho21_ | Is it recommended to upgrade linux kernel into a non generic one? | 05:38 |
| rww | xav_: ah. So you started Wubi but never rebooted to continue installation? Theoretically, when you reboot, it's going to start up the Ubuntu installer, then... | 05:38 |
| rww | sancho21_: not in most cases, no. -generic works fine for most people. | 05:38 |
| daw | i was told that to get WOW to work in wine i need to disable compiz . . . any hints on how to track down what's using that to reconfigure it? | 05:39 |
| xav_ | I will be able to set up the grub from there? i dont wont to be in a cycle that won't allow me to boot to either windows or linux | 05:39 |
| mayank | my mozilla firefox closes itself...why./ | 05:39 |
| mayank | ? | 05:39 |
| izinucs | gbear14275, for whatever reason I've always gravitated to Synaptic since my conversion 2-3 yrs ago.. I just never think of add/remove. | 05:39 |
| zboy | rww: Wow that made it as easy as pie. I remember having to fight Mandrake 7.1 just to make a partition lol. I am almost tempted to not dual boot at all and run Ubuntu on its own. Come to think of it, only thing I need Vista for is Guild Wars (pc game) and maybe OneNote hehe | 05:39 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | how do you copy and paste text from ANY emulator into ubuntu? | 05:39 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | i lost my note! | 05:39 |
| rww | xav_: Wubi sets up Grub for you =/ | 05:39 |
| sancho21_ | mayank, I have the same problem too. It's segmentation fault | 05:39 |
| xav_ | alright cool. thanks much, | 05:39 |
| mayank | sancho21: so what to do? | 05:40 |
| daw | how do I stop an application from using compiz? | 05:40 |
| R1_ | can somebody tell me how to perform a sudo command on start up? When i add it in sessions it does not appear to work | 05:40 |
| forensicwannabe | gbear14275: the apt, and synaptic do basically the same thing. they install deb packages with all their dependencies. only very advanced users will know how to select or deselect from a deb package, and for the most part, even they will not mess with the deb package | 05:40 |
| rww | zboy: Glad to hear it :). You may be interested to know, by the way, that Guild Wars can run in Ubuntu using wine. See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 and the !wine factoid. | 05:40 |
| rww | !wine | zboy | 05:40 |
| ubottu | zboy: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 05:40 |
| izinucs | mayank, sancho21_ as a test you might want to " mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup " and then restart FF and see what happens. | 05:40 |
| mayank | don't understand what u just say... | 05:41 |
| rww | daw: You can't; you can only turn it off for all programs: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None | 05:41 |
| denny32 | anyone help me with a flashchat problem? | 05:41 |
| rww | !anyone | denny32 | 05:41 |
| ubottu | denny32: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:41 |
| mayank | in terminal? | 05:41 |
| forensicwannabe | gbear14275: as for your firefox, have you installed any plugins lately? do you have bookmarks? have you installed any packages immediately prior to noticing problems in fire fox? | 05:42 |
| denny32 | yes | 05:42 |
| izinucs | mayank, sancho21_ .. go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal and in the window that opens cut and past the test between the quotes on my previous quote. | 05:42 |
| izinucs | *text | 05:42 |
| daw | rww once do that if I have no user applications running should I be ok killing any remaining processes? | 05:43 |
| gbear14275 | forensicwannabe: I'm playing around with it now but the latest thing I installed was the icedtea java plugin (which I'm trying to get rid of) but that was weeks ago... flash seemed to be working last night and now isn't and I haven't done anything since then | 05:43 |
| mayank | izinucs, done...now | 05:43 |
| mayank | start mozilla again? | 05:43 |
| izinucs | yes | 05:44 |
| mayank | done that | 05:44 |
| mayank | can u tell me in detail...what is segmentation fault? | 05:44 |
| zboy | rww: Now that's a dream come true (: very awesome indeed! | 05:44 |
| mayank | izinucs, can u tell me in detail...what is segmentation fault? | 05:44 |
| === deniz is now known as Guest18024 | ||
| rww | daw: I'm not sure what you're asking. You should be able to enable and disable Compiz regardless of whether you have any other programs running... just turn it off before you start WoW/wine, and turn it back on if you want it when you're done playing. | 05:44 |
| forensicwannabe | RI_ you need to be more specific about what you mean by running sudo on startup, and what you mean by adding it in sessions. do you mean running sudo in terminal from the desktop? | 05:44 |
| gbear14275 | forensicwannabe: gimme a little bit to try and resolve this and I'll try to come back with more information | 05:44 |
| izinucs | mayank, you gotta play with it to see it that will happen again. I'm not sure what a segmentation fault is but might be because of a plugin that was installed. | 05:45 |
| gbear14275 | forensicwannabe: but thanks for inquiring | 05:45 |
| sancho21_ | When I run vlc to play a movie. I got error as If I don't have enough memory allocation | 05:45 |
| nbeebo | made a fresh install of hoping to get 1920x1200 again but i got 1600x1200 as usual... can anyone help me? this problem has haunted me for about 6 months :S lol | 05:45 |
| sancho21_ | But mplayer made it | 05:45 |
| mayank | izinucs, ok, and should i update my ubuntu 8.10 with terminal or update manager? | 05:45 |
| izinucs | mayank, doesn't matter does the same thing.. | 05:46 |
| mayank | izinucs, ok..thanx | 05:46 |
| nbeebo | sancho21_, i think u could change that in the vlc settings.. | 05:46 |
| Guest18024 | mayank, terminal uses less system ressources | 05:46 |
| izinucs | mayank, np :) | 05:46 |
| forensicwannabe | gbear14275: you have a choice. which is the more agreeable way to handle your problem for you philosophy of learning and or using ubuntu. You can do it the hard way and try to find the problem, and or do what I would do: Just remove all java and firefox and start over. | 05:47 |
| kalvin_ | hello, question, ive got winxp as an image, when i use virtual machine manager, after i allocate space for it, it gives me an error: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed .... can anyone help me out? | 05:47 |
| mayank | guest18024, thanx...thats a good tip, but if segmentation fault comes in terminal in middle..then what to do? | 05:47 |
| izinucs | kalvin_, not enough info.. what virtual machine program are you using.? | 05:48 |
| gbear14275 | forensicwannabe: lol, I was about to ask if i uninstalled firefox if all my bookmarks and settings would be deleted (great minds think alike) I'm hoping the answer is no | 05:48 |
| sancho21_ | nbeebo, In a fresh installation of Ubuntu and vlc, I got this error. This is can be fixed by doing your writings before, right? | 05:48 |

| dishwasher | hello. I have mounted an iso and want to copy its contents using dd (since trying to use cp gives me errors). When I use dd it tells me that my source is a directory and exits without copying anything. Is there a workaround for this? | 05:49 |
| kalvin_ | isinucs: its called virtual machine manager, someone recommended it from on here. there error is: Unable to complete install: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error invalid domain type attribute' | 05:49 |
| miranda_psi | Can anyone help me with the sound problem I have? Sometimes a program will take sole control of the sound, and then I can't get other programs to play sound, even after quitting the program and restarting my sound server (using a different one doesn't help either)... | 05:50 |
| earthling | dishwasher use the are option with cp | 05:50 |
| izinucs | kalvin_, sorry I don't know anything about that program. are you trying to load xp in a vm in Ubuntu? if so you might look at Virtual Box or VMWare Server | 05:50 |
| eseven73 | kalvin_: have you tried VirtualBox? | 05:50 |
| dishwasher | earthling: the which option? r? | 05:50 |
| peepsalot | is there a builtin gui app for configuring samba? | 05:51 |
| nickrud | tonyyarusso, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/306721 | 05:51 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, swat .. you have to install it. | 05:51 |
| kalvin_ | no, i tried to install vmware, but it gave me some type of error during install, and when i came to here last night, someone recommented virtual machine manager lol | 05:51 |
| earthling | dishwasher yeah.. cp -r | 05:51 |
| === john is now known as Guest43622 | ||
| izinucs | kalvin_, you probably had an error with vmware because you didn't install build-essential.. other than that it's pretty painless. | 05:52 |
| earthling | dishwasher: sorry for that r turning to are :( | 05:52 |
| sexcopter | hi, i have a fairly broken package system here... i get a few thousand lines like this: "dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `python-pkg-resources' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed." Reinstalling each package will fix it (I think), but is there a way to parse this list and just get the package names in one list? | 05:52 |
| tonyyarusso | nickrud: I use 8.04 | 05:52 |
| dishwasher | earthling: thanks for the help, I'll try it out | 05:52 |
| peepsalot | izinucs, thanks, i will try that | 05:52 |
| nickrud | tonyyarusso, then nm :) | 05:52 |
| izinucs | kalvin_, virtual box is in the repos.. easy install. but you won't have usb support unless you get it directly from their site. | 05:53 |
| eseven73 | kalvin_: virtualbox and vmware server are more mainstream, virt-manager or w/e might be abondonware? well at any rate, you cant go wrong with VirtualBox realy | 05:53 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, np | 05:53 |
| jtmoney | has anyone had an update become available over the past week or so? it seems like a long period for no updates | 05:53 |
| kalvin_ | i shall try it..thanks | 05:53 |
| izinucs | jtmoney, they have your ip on ignore.. :) | 05:54 |
| kalvin_ | how do i get it...sorry very new to linux, trying to learn it! | 05:54 |
| jtmoney | funny | 05:54 |
| jtmoney | but really | 05:54 |
| izinucs | kalvin_, which one.. ? vbox? System>Admin>Synaptic .. search for virtualbox | 05:54 |
| eseven73 | the one in the repos with no usb support? 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose' | 05:54 |
| forensicwannabe | gbear14275: resetting your preferences and reinstalling addons is good practice. if you go to Edit> Preferences> Main> Manage Extensions, you can see all your addons, and you can then search for them in firfox and bookmarks before you make a backup of your bookmarks, so they will be there ready for you to install when you reopen. There is a way to save your preferences, but it doesn't always work. I wouldn | 05:55 |
| forensicwannabe | 't do it anyways. I would add one addon at a time, try each one out for a week, and then the next to see if one of the addons is causing a conflict | 05:55 |
| izinucs | jtmoney, on Hardy .. yes.. on Intrepid.. no | 05:55 |
| xav_ | my ubuntu wont boot, either from as a live uninstalled version, and once i installed it through windows and selected it to boot in grub, will not boot. what am i doing wrong? | 05:55 |
| jtmoney | izinucs: thanks | 05:55 |
| sancho21_ | xav_: May be you should add acpi=off in the boot parameter | 05:56 |
| izinucs | jtmoney, you can always check from terminal with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade " | 05:56 |
| trollboy | I'm using transmission 1.06 and seeing 1.45 out there, is there a reason the ubuntu repos is so out of date? | 05:56 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: hello, eould you be up for just 'trying' to reinstall every package that's you currently have installed? i don't know if this will work with the breakage you have or not. i'm not vertasin if i fully understand what wrong there. are you getting this error for a few thousand packages? | 05:56 |
| kalvin_ | ok..good to know, is there a specific one i should use? | 05:56 |
| xav_ | where can i change that, in boot settings after the grub selection? | 05:56 |
| onetinsoldier | s/vertasin/certain | 05:56 |
| sancho21_ | xav_ select the first menu of Ubuntu menus (boot selection), then press 'e' | 05:57 |
| sancho21_ | after you edit it, press b | 05:57 |
| izinucs | trollboy, they are typically in date for the version that was available durning the development.. occationally there is a PPA on launchpad that will have a newer version. | 05:57 |
| eseven73 | kalvin_: the opensource one is called VirtualBox-OSE | 05:57 |
| xav_ | is it default to yes? and what is acpi? | 05:57 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: could you pastebin a sample of the errors you're getting? | 05:58 |
| eseven73 | kalvin_: but theres no usb support with that one | 05:58 |
| sancho21_ | xav_ acpi make your computer turn off automatically after shutdown | 05:58 |
| sancho21_ | without pressing power button anymore | 05:58 |
| eseven73 | kalvin_: if you want usb support you'll have to go on virtualbox's site and download it from there, | 05:58 |
| xav_ | i dont know that that is the problem, it looks as if it wonts too boot but goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor at top left. | 05:59 |

| Brack101 | so according to dmidecode, I have an AMD Athlon 64 processor...Does that mean I should be running the x64 version of Ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| forensicwannabe | xav: what do you mean when you say you "installed it through windows?" do you mean that you installed it after windows, or on a machine that windows was installed on? | 06:01 |
| schnauzer | no - i mean a window border, im already using redmond; eseven73 - i'd really like to avoid switching from GNOME. | 06:01 |
| earthling | vermont: what user are you? root? | 06:01 |
| eseven73 | schnauzer: but icewm isnt a theme, i was just being silly :) | 06:01 |

| earthling | vermont: goto cd /usr | 06:10 |
| forensicwannabe | xav: did you try the automated partitioner in ubuntu? | 06:10 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: i had to abort that. i don't seem to receive DCC sends unless i shut off my firewall first | 06:10 |
| eross | ok. trying to figure out how to get the window titlebars back | 06:10 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: oh, ok. i'll try pastebin | 06:10 |
| earthling | vermont: do a ls -la there and tell me what the bin line says | 06:10 |
| crdlb | eross: are you sure openbox is actually running? do you have the openbox root menu? | 06:10 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: ok, or i can shot off my firewall for a minute | 06:11 |
| onetinsoldier | shut* | 06:11 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: is it the one where you simply select the gig size you want it installed? like the choices were 4gb, 6gb, 8gb, and 10gb. if so then yes i did, but i did it not to the partition where i have windows but to a separate partition | 06:11 |
| forensicwannabe | xav: I think you will be okay if you can manage to edit grub . the question is, are the ubuntu install grub link address still intact in your grub config file? | 06:11 |
| eross | i selected openbox session and booted in. i may have made some changes to it i forgot about | 06:11 |
| vermont | earthling, pmed... | 06:11 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: it's ok, here is pastebin post: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96619/ | 06:12 |
| earthling | vermont: :drwxr-xr-x are the permissions of your bin directory | 06:12 |
| onetinsoldier | ok | 06:12 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: so i'm wondering if it's possible to extract just the package names in a long list to feed to apt-get | 06:12 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: any easy way to check for that? | 06:12 |
| earthling | this says that root can put files in that directory | 06:12 |
| dishwasher2 | I'm basically trying to extract/unpack an iso installation dvd (its not linux) to a usb hard drive, any tips on how to make an exact copy in ubuntu? | 06:12 |
| forensicwannabe | xav did you partition windows before you installed ubuntu: | 06:12 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: yes, i had a partition with xp, and saved some later for a ubuntu install. i partitioned when i installed windows. | 06:13 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: it looks to me as if maybe the files in your /ver/lib/dpkg/info directory might have been deleted | 06:13 |
| earthling | vermont: run your copy command with sudo prepended to iit.. it will ask for password .. type in the password and then the copy will be done | 06:13 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: it looks to me as if maybe the files in your /var/lib/dpkg/info directory might have been deleted | 06:13 |
| tleuser | hello | 06:13 |
| tleuser | มีใครอยู่บ้าง | 06:14 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: well, i know there are some there (about 1500 files), but yeah it looks like a lot are missing. i know i haven't deleted them myself... | 06:14 |
| dheroize | ccc | 06:14 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: would you like to try reinstalling all packages on your package list? | 06:14 |
| dheroize | all | 06:14 |
| vermont | earthling, ok so explain this to me like I'm eight, I don't know how to copy a file from folder to folder in terminal...I am a fairly inexperienced ubuntu user, as you undoubtedly noticed. | 06:14 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: yes, if there is an easy way to do that | 06:14 |
| earthling | vermont: tell me what you want to copy and where you want to copy it to? | 06:15 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: if you use ubuntu auto partitioner, then you neither want or need to partition before installing., You windows should be on one partition, you HD should only have one partition, then and only then should you execute the ubuntu auto partitioner. | 06:15 |
| earthling | vermont: what's this builds a directory? | 06:17 |
| peepsalot | i'm having some trouble sharing a folder with samba | 06:17 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: before we try, show me the output listing of one of the broken packages... for instance --> dpkg -l python-pkg-resources | 06:17 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i believe it was the only way i could install. Since the installer from restart would not work. I really do not think it is my partitions messing it up, because i could not get the uninstalled trial to run. | 06:17 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: if your ubuntu has never run yet, I think you should delet all but the one windows partition with your windows cd, and then run ubuntu install | 06:18 |
| sari | is there a way to track all writes to files? | 06:18 |
| vermont | it was what was extracted from the tar.gz folder...the program emusicdlm is inside it. | 06:18 |
| peepsalot | i tried right clicking on the folder in nautilus and enabling sharing through that, but I can't access the folder from other computers. they see the folder, but it requires authentication which I can't get past | 06:18 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i dont see how that would make a problem with my ubuntu not booting, but if you truly believe this, i can try. | 06:19 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96623/ | 06:19 |
| gmathews | Hi is it wise to get 3GB RAM - or just leave it at 2GB dual channel? | 06:19 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, they either need an account or you need to create a new user called "foo" with a password of "bar" and have anyone using that machine to authenticate with those creds. | 06:19 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_ different computers react different ways, but ubuntu has been working to make their auto partitioner work with as many architectures as possible these days.. | 06:19 |
| sexcopter | gmathews: if it's a cheap upgrade, i'd go for it | 06:20 |
| peepsalot | izinucs, i thought I could use a regular user login that is already on this computer | 06:20 |
| Guruji | anyone help me installing squid with delaypools feature, as "apt-get install squid" just installs it and dont let us configure installation options. | 06:20 |
| box_man | gmathews, 2's fine.. if you can upgrade why not just go to 4 with 2 new sticks? | 06:20 |
| Guruji | any idea please ? | 06:20 |
| sexcopter | gmathews: but if you're running 64-bit, 4 gig is better =) | 06:20 |
| earthling | vermont: ok... I will tell you not to copy that folder into /usr/bin.. NEVER.. but if you want to do it then here it is "$sudo cp -vr /home/matthew/Desktop usr/bin" | 06:20 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, you should be able to .. | 06:20 |
| gmathews | sexcopter, i already have 1 GB now, but a 2GB bundle seems cheaper than buying another 1 GB | 06:20 |
| peepsalot | izinucs, it does not appear to work | 06:20 |
| box_man | gmathews, and its usually not a good idea to miss match sticks. | 06:20 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: ok, here we go.. my next message if the command, it's like a one-liner script. i didn't make it myself, got it from #debian many moons ago | 06:20 |
| vermont | earthling, should I just move the program itself? | 06:20 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, are they linux machines trying to access or Win machines? | 06:21 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_ sometimes the auto partitioner is the only way it will work. furthermore, if you try to install it another way, and/or mess with the grub, then you could lose your windows install also | 06:21 |
| sexcopter | gmathews: if you have 1gb, then adding a 2gb stick is the way to go | 06:21 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: i | 06:21 |
| peepsalot | izinucs, linux | 06:21 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: #### the following line will reinstall all currently installed packages #### | 06:21 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: dpkg --get-selections | while read p s; do [ "$s" = "install" ] && echo -n "$p "; done | xargs apt-get install --reinstall | 06:21 |
| earthling | vermont: do you want to run the program from command line but not want to got that folder eerytime to run the program? | 06:21 |
| gmathews | sexcopter, can u run a 1GB and a 2 gb stick in dual channel? | 06:21 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: it seems so basic that it would be able to work with my already made partition. or even i think it should run the trial. I don't think that my partition should mess with that. it wont be the end of the world if i lose windows, but i'd like to avoid it :) | 06:21 |
| peepsalot | izinucs, is there a way to revert samba settings to default, in case something was messed up | 06:21 |
| Rolaulten | Hello, I was wondering if someone knows how to get the Gnome menu to appear whenever I right click on my desktop. | 06:22 |
| vermont | earthling, I actually just want to put a launch icon on my toolbar, and get the folder off my desktop | 06:22 |
| sexcopter | onetinsoldier: thank you very much! i'll give it a try. | 06:22 |
| === John is now known as Guest5310 | ||
| forensicwannabe | xav_: I'm pretty sure you could handle the grub stuff, and if you mess it up, that's a good way to learn anyways. Just be sure to backup you important data | 06:22 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, it makes it much easier if the lan workgroup name is the same on all the machines.. for whatever reason I don't have an issue from a hardy laptop to a Intrepid desktop | 06:22 |
| sexcopter | gmathews: i'm not 100%, but i think you can, yes | 06:22 |
| Guruji | /j #ubuntu-pk | 06:22 |
| jim_p | gmathews, the dimms placed in dual channel slots must not only be of the same capacity, but of the same model and manifacturer as well | 06:22 |
| onetinsoldier | sexcopter: you're welcome. i believe that will work for you. :-) good luck! | 06:22 |
| izinucs | peepsalot, yep.. uninstall it and delete the samba.conf file.. then reinstall. | 06:22 |

| elkbuntu | could whoever joined that bot to here please visit #ubuntu-ops. | 06:24 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: the question is wheather you grub has the correct address for your ubuntu. If it doesn't, then you can pretty well forget it. You need to google grub config to learn how to interpret and edit grub. I will check my bookmarks. I have a few good webpages that can probably help you. | 06:24 |
| ganymede | j #gentoo | 06:24 |

| Guest5310 | I am not getting sound in Ubuntu using Gateway laptop. No sound on anything including Desktop, DVD. etc. Video only works. Any ideas? tnx | 06:25 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: thats the problem? grub's not finding the right bootup process thing? i can search for it but i'm not to sure if i'll find exactly what i need. | 06:25 |
| Guruji | and .... --enable-delay-pools --enable-cache-digests --enable-poll --disable-ident-lookups --enable-truncate --enable-removal-policies | 06:25 |
| vermont | earthling, OK great. I will do that. I just thought I'd try to put the program where most of the other programs were located...I really just wish the package included an installer | 06:25 |
| jim_p | colton_, here as well. depending on the hardware though | 06:26 |
| vermont | earthling, thanks again. | 06:26 |
| izinucs | colton_, please just ask the question if someone here can answer it they will. | 06:26 |
| daw | the very helpful folks at #winehq have told me to update my drivers for my video card. Any info on how/where to drivers for a Intel 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics controller? And how to make X use that driver? | 06:26 |

| Yasumoto | Guruji: can you grab the squid source and build it yourself? | 06:27 |
| Guruji | i did the following... | 06:27 |
| jim_p | daw, because if they did, they would also know that the intel drivers come preinstalled and are most likely on the latest version | 06:27 |
| R1_ | Is it normal to not have a "current sessions" tab in System > Preferences > Sessions | 06:27 |
| Yasumoto | Guruji: sudo apt-get build-dep squid will give you your dependencies | 06:27 |

| R1_ | moDumass, why don't we have this anymore? how will we know the order of the startup items | 06:30 |
| moDumass | R1_ no idea sorry | 06:30 |
| eseven73 | R1_: you could put stuff on Cron thats what i do, theres a GUI for it too gnome-schedule :) and its in the repos too | 06:30 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you mean address, or yeah but less likely I think it could be a boot process. I just looked in my bookmarks, but I didn't find my grub stuff. I am going to grep it, and if I don't find anything, I am going to google it | 06:30 |
| vermont | earthling...I don't know how to do tar.gz I just extracted it to the desktop opened the folder and clicked on the program emusicdlm...it launched the program so I just figured I'd move it off the desktop and drag it to my toolbar | 06:31 |

| pretender | I have installed virtualbox-2.1_2.1.0-41146_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb manually and cant remove it. What is the apt get command i should be using or can it be done through synaptic | 06:31 |
| crdlb | R1_: why does the order matter? | 06:31 |
| eseven73 | R1_: nice thing bout gnome-schedule is you can set things to start at boot too :) | 06:31 |
| R1_ | eseven73, even sudo commands? | 06:31 |
| jim_p | pretender, apt-get autoremove virtualbox-2.1 | 06:31 |
| jim_p | with sudo | 06:31 |
| eseven73 | R1_: yep if you run gnome-schedule as root | 06:31 |
| eseven73 | R1_: which would be 'gksu gnome-schedule' | 06:32 |

| mayank | now its continue working fine...but why the error come..is there any chkdsk option in this or some command like that? | 06:39 |
| Yasumoto | mayank: any errors pop up? | 06:39 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: yeah I saw that, but by what sancho was saying, I could tell he was just guessing. He figured if it worked for him, it might work for you, and yeah, it might, but if you start changing things in grub that you don't understand, then you are taking big chances. The best thing to do is to learn how to interpret grub, to look at the file and see what the problem is. | 06:39 |
| mayank | only one error of disk read error | 06:39 |
| R1_ | eseven73, so you can see, i need to run these after the network manager | 06:39 |
| R1_ | eseven73, that's why order matters | 06:39 |
| Yasumoto | mayank: "fsck" is what you want to use | 06:39 |
| itzhero | How do I access shared folders in vbox? | 06:39 |
| itzhero | I have guest additions installed | 06:39 |
| Yasumoto | mayank: the drive must be unmounted first though | 06:39 |
| R1_ | eseven73, and the current session tab and the order option is nowhere to be found in ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex | 06:39 |
| R1_ | eseven73, which all solutions point to from my research | 06:40 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_:back to my search: be right back | 06:40 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i found that on a forum somewhere and am searching for the problem some more. i'll look around a bit first. | 06:40 |
| Yasumoto | mayank: there's probably a better way, but if I have issues, I'll boot from a liveCD and run fsck on the drive to check it | 06:40 |
| eseven73 | R1_: right.... hmm | 06:40 |
| R1_ | eseven73, are yo uon ubuntu 8.10? | 06:40 |
| eseven73 | you kidding ? | 06:40 |
| ql | why is my sd card not being read | 06:41 |

| sdflkj | try ubuntu 8.10 | 06:43 |

| Yasumoto | mayank: -l for list your drives | 06:44 |
| DasEi | sdflkj: the rc on the live or on the harddrive ? | 06:44 |

| mayank | but in windows fdisk means for partition, what is fsc -l means? | 06:47 |
| sdflkj | any idea? | 06:47 |
| puppiesRcute | virtual box doesnt work for me either good at all | 06:47 |
| Nehpets | miranda. tnx. that's in my tab, but i'll try it as a command | 06:47 |
| RivitingOn1 | When I was still using windows I had a utility that inspected my video card for errors and problems. Is there a utility like this in linux? | 06:47 |
| malianx | 65w Athlon64 X2, 7200rpm sata 3.5" disk, and 2x 1g kingston ddr2, 8800gts = more than 350w? anyone know? | 06:47 |
| ZrisCha | Guys, what should I do if grub does not list my windows drive but when I do a sudo fdisk -l it is listed? | 06:47 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: yeah, but I don't think you can back it up with windows, unless you can see it | 06:47 |
| forensicwannabe | in windows | 06:48 |
| kapu | I'm an openBSD guy, have been for years now. But I just tried Ubuntu server on a server where the raid card was not supported in bsd, and I am pretty impressed by the server. | 06:48 |
| Yasumoto | mayank: fdisk -l will list out all your drives and partitions. fsck is "FileSystemCHecK" | 06:48 |
| earthling | mayank bahi please be paitent.. fdisk if not not used properly can cause problems. please go through man pages and ttorials o the net for fdisk to get a better understanding | 06:48 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: are you getting that from your live cd? | 06:48 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i can see it, i can open it with a text editor. i'm not sure if its fully here but i can see it. | 06:48 |
| kapu | Ubuntu is pretty cool | 06:48 |
| sdflkj | i use openbsd as well... | 06:48 |
| forensicwannabe | or from the hard drive | 06:48 |
| xav_ | hdd | 06:49 |
| miranda_psi | Nehpets: That doesn't show everything - you need to make sure that things like the PCM volume are on (easiest way is to just put everything up to 100) | 06:49 |
| mayank | ok earthling bhai, jo tum kaho | 06:49 |
| mayank | i want to check my file system for problems | 06:50 |
| kapu | Everything just worked, I ran basilisk, and am crossing my fingers | 06:50 |
| onetinsoldier | kapu: glad to hear you like it! | 06:50 |
| Nehpets | miranda, tnx, i'm trying that now | 06:50 |
| L_Y | is there anyone use virtualbox? | 06:50 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: back it up..... save as > menu.lst.bkp | 06:50 |
| Yasumoto | mayank: good luck. you can come back on IRC once you get the liveCD on in case you have more questions | 06:50 |
| xav_ | done. | 06:50 |
| onetinsoldier | kapu: what is basilisk? | 06:50 |
| Arenlor | Yasumoto I've heard other uses of fsck before, is File System ChecK the most common usage with Ubuntu? | 06:50 |
| RivitingOn1 | bow | 06:50 |
| mayank | thanx...actually i have one more question if you are free? | 06:51 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: back to my google search: be right back | 06:51 |
| kapu | Just a large script that helps lock down (secure) daemons and stuff | 06:51 |
| kapu | Google it, its nice | 06:51 |
| onetinsoldier | kapu: roger | 06:51 |
| eseven73 | !info basilisk | 06:51 |

| eseven73 | bah | 06:51 |
| mayank | how to get all permissions in ubuntu? | 06:52 |
| Arenlor | mayank, sudo is a good way | 06:52 |
| Yasumoto | Arenlor: hm, not sure about ubuntu specifically, but I just know of fsck as a tool to check disks for errors | 06:52 |
| mayank | how | 06:52 |
| DasEi | sdflkj: can't help you very far there now, you know the basics how to set up a boot-cd ? | 06:52 |
| RivitingOn1 | Does ubuntu 8.04 keep a log of errors that occur in the system? I keep freezing up while playing a game and I am trying to find out what is causing it. | 06:52 |

| ganu | eseven73, htop is similar to top command i think so | 06:59 |
| eseven73 | but nicer | 06:59 |
| ganu | miranda_psi, ok | 06:59 |

| amerinese | i can disable all networking through the networkmanager applet | 07:31 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you must do what I said in the first place. you need to delete all partitions except the one which windows is on, and then install ubuntu with the auto installer. | 07:32 |
| jim_p | amerinese, network manager is a piece of junk (v0.70 that ubuntu 8.10 uses). replace it with something else like wicd or wifiradar or something | 07:32 |

| ganymede | jim_p, are you going to suggest ext2, so i don't have to worry about the journal? | 07:33 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: I can try i guess. does it matter if i uninstall ubuntu with the installer before i delete the partition or just go ahead and delete it with my xp restore? | 07:33 |
| oldmanstan | ganymede: the differences are pretty small, is space really that much of a concern? | 07:33 |
| amerinese | jim_p: heh, ok, yeah seems like it, it's a desktop so i guess i'll give wicd a try | 07:33 |
| miranda_psi | jim_p: I have to agree that the 8.10 version of network manager is crap, but generally network manager is a lot better than wicd... | 07:34 |
| jim_p | ganymede, no. if you do not use a ups, ext3 is the best choice. can i express reasons too? | 07:34 |
| evowill | jim_p: please, go ahead | 07:34 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you see your memu.lst file doesn't even know that windows is there. There is no entry for windows. That tells me that winows has something in the boot sector, and I mean the physical as opposed to the logical address of the boot segment on your computer that tells the computer not to let linux have access if you put it on another partition. | 07:34 |

| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 07:34 |
| ganymede | oldmanstan, it's not that space is a large concern, it's just that features, and performance are much less of a concern | 07:34 |
| new2ubuntu | running ubuntu on eee laptop and eeebox and i must say it is absolutely awesome i think it should have been sold this way | 07:35 |
| RivitingOn1 | How would I compile a file from source using checkinstall? I keep getting an error that says permission denied installation failed. Aborting package creation. | 07:35 |
| ganymede | jim_p, i'm not too worried about data loss, i don't have anything very critical on it, it'll be a back up drive | 07:35 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i'd probably see what you meant more if i could see one configured correctly. | 07:35 |
| debasys | i have a space PC with one 80 GB[master] & another 40 GB HDD, i wish to dual boot it with Ubuntu & XP. Now i have made dual-boot systems many times where there is only 1 HDD, and it shows me as 'sda' so i just go with the flow and delete an un-used partiton that was under Windows, and install Ubuntu on it. But for this 2 HDD setup i am a bit confused how to do it. | 07:35 |
| debasys | correction -> *spare | 07:35 |
| oldmanstan | ganymede: why not just try every file system and see which yields the best results? you're making extra work for yourself anyway, might as well make a bunch of extra work | 07:35 |
| oldmanstan | :) | 07:36 |
| white-sheep | ganymede -- Invest in LVM if you're really concerned about spaces -- It allows you to configure / resize spaces on the live system. Otherwise you may have OCD if you can't decide how much space you can live without :3 | 07:36 |
| tq | using sudo to install file | 07:36 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i'm going to delete the partition, ill be back in a bit. if you're not here thanks alot for your help | 07:36 |
| jim_p | ganymede, ext3 is "bulletproof" compared to the other two when it comes to unclean shutdown. however its a bit slower, takes 5% of the partitions space for its needs, and chechs the partition once every 30 mounts, which can result to huge boot times if you have big partitions | 07:36 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: it is necessary for ubuntu to take over the boot sector, or it cannot get access to your computer. | | 07:36 |
| jim_p | ganymede, *unclean shutdown = power loss or something | 07:36 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: actually to understand, you need to learn about how computers boot up. I'll get to your question now | 07:36 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i understand but i don't understand why it would fo straight to the partition and not windows on the live trial. | 07:37 |
| francisco | hi | 07:37 |
| francisco | how are u? xav | 07:37 |
| jim_p | ganymede, the 5% usage can be lowered, so are the times to mount before scan | 07:37 |
| francisco | i need a litte hellp | 07:37 |
| nook | hey can someone help me i need to install flash player i got firefox installed but flash player doesnt want to install for some reason keeps saying command not found to $ ./flashplayer-installer | 07:37 |
| francisco | someone help me 2 ? :D | 07:37 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: just delet the partition, you don't need to unistall ubuntu or anything like that. Just use window restore disk to delete partition | 07:37 |
| nook | $ tar xzvf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz | 07:37 |
| ganymede | jim_p, thanks for the advice. white-sheep: i'll look into it. oldmanstan: yeah, maybe that would be best, since there doesn't seem to be an immediate answer. i'll try out a lot of the filesystems that ubuntu supports out of the box | 07:38 |
| jim_p | nook, flashplayer is in the repos. if you dont like the repos flashplayer, like i do, use the .deb from adobe | 07:38 |
| xav_ | i'll give it a shot, thanks again. | 07:38 |
| white-sheep | nook -- If you're new to Ubuntu -- I suppose you can install plugins from Firefox's Plugin Add. It'll install flash-nonfree (something like that). | 07:38 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: understand this: since you put ubuntu in a partition, windows still has conrtol of the boot sector on your computer | 07:38 |
| francisco | xav did u know install java ?? | 07:38 |
| debasys | uff... i think my message got lost in the flow...do i post again? | 07:38 |
| francisco | foresicwannabe hello | 07:38 |
| jim_p | ganymede, keep in mind that grub can only boot the kernel from ext3 (or ext2) | 07:38 |
| francisco | how are u? | 07:38 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: windows is hostile to linux | 07:39 |
| ganymede | jim_p, thanks, but i'm not booting from this drive | 07:39 |
| RivitingOn1 | Is there a linux program that scans your HDD or works with SMART to display potential failures? | 07:39 |
| debasys | Again - i have a spare PC with one 80 GB[master] & another 40 GB HDD, i wish to dual boot it with Ubuntu & XP. Now i have made dual-boot systems many times where there is only 1 HDD, and it shows me as 'sda' so i just go with the flow and delete an un-used partiton that was under Windows, and install Ubuntu on it. But for this 2 HDD setup i am a bit confused how to do it. | 07:39 |
| white-sheep | xav_, Just install Ubuntu -- Windows is not worth all the hassles. Linux is. :3 | 07:39 |
| jim_p | nook, in any case you have to do sudo sh flashplayer-installer | 07:39 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: before the install i could not get the trial to load. it didnt even pick up the partition untill i formatted it | 07:39 |
| francisco | man to many people | 07:39 |
| RivitingOn1 | francisco: If you have a question go ahead and ask. Anyone with the answer will chime in. | 07:40 |
| francisco | thanks riviting0n1 | 07:40 |
| francisco | i need instal java | 07:40 |
| francisco | can u help me? | 07:40 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: that is strange. when you booted to the live disk, did it give you the option live cd?\ | 07:40 |
| tq | sudo apt-get install java | 07:40 |
| error404notfound | in intrepid how can I adda custom keyboard layout placed in /etc/x11/xkb/symbols/test ? | 07:41 |
| xav_ | yes, it looked as if it would load, then went to a blank screen with a flashing cursor in top left corner and would just stay like that. | 07:41 |
| francisco | are u riviting? | 07:41 |
| RivitingOn1 | francisco: It took me a little getting used to this as well. When you ask your question ask it in 1 line so that people can read the whole thing without it getting broken up. | 07:41 |
| white-sheep | debasys, Just use the second HDD for storage -- You can install Windows + Ubuntu on one HDD. | 07:41 |
| forensicwannabe | I wonder if this chat room is strictly ubuntu. Is there a different chat room for kubuntu? | 07:41 |
| francisco | in l line? | 07:42 |
| Arenlor | Hey all, I've decided to format and reinstall, before I do I was wondering if anyone had anything they'd like tested and reported before I do so? | 07:42 |
| francisco | ok let me see | 07:42 |
| RivitingOn1 | francisco: also, if you are talking to someone put there name and a colon, then type what you want to say. | 07:42 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe #kubuntu of course | 07:42 |
| francisco | hok | 07:42 |
| francisco | ok ok | 07:42 |
| white-sheep | forensicwannabe -- Try /j #kubuntu | 07:42 |
| francisco | thanks i see | 07:42 |
| debasys | white-sheep: ah really nice idea.... i think then i can use the second hdd for storage from both OSes if i format it to NTFS right? | 07:43 |
| forensicwannabe | Arlenlor: are you going to dban your drive? | 07:43 |
| white-sheep | debasys -- FAT32. | 07:43 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: no, just reinstalling using a livecd is all | 07:44 |
| debasys | white-sheep: oh ...may i ask why, as i think ubuntu writes to ntfs as well | 07:44 |
| debasys | white-sheep: or is it fat-32 is better supported | 07:44 |
| white-sheep | debasys -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS | 07:45 |
| balrog__ | What does signal 6 mean? I keep getting this: "Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted." | 07:45 |
| jim_p | can network manager scan for nearby wireless networks? | 07:45 |
| balrog__ | jim_p: yes. it does so automatically when you click on the applet | 07:46 |
| Arenlor | debasys NTFS works fine with Ubuntu, and is faster than FAT32, there IS a way to use EXT with Windows btw | 07:46 |
| miranda_psi | balrog_: it means that some program (or you yourself) sent the signal 6 to the program asking it to shutdown (don't know exactly what 6 is though...) | 07:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | balrog__: 6 is SIGABRT ... check man signal if you want more | 07:46 |
| jim_p | thanks balrog__ | 07:47 |
| Arenlor | debasys: http://www.fs-driver.org/ check that and see if you'd rather use EXT with Windows or not | 07:47 |
| balrog__ | jim_p: np | 07:47 |
| balrog__ | ushimitsudoki, miranda_psi; thanks | 07:47 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor, I always dban before I reinstall. Are you familiar with Dban? Also, If I was you, I would use fluxubuntu, or install minimal ubuntu with the ubuntu light script, or even consider debian lenny. look at this website all to super secure your debian based distro, if you are into that: | 07:48 |
| forensicwannabe | http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html | 07:48 |
| forensicwannabe | 07:48 | |
| FloodBot2 | forensicwannabe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:48 |
| debasys | Arenlor: by EXT u mean ext3 right? | 07:48 |
| Arenlor | debasys: EXT2 or 3 | 07:48 |
| miranda_psi | debasys: there is a free ext2 driver for windows (can be used on ext3 partitions as well, just dont get the journaling) and it seems to be good as well | 07:48 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | how on earth do I execute an .exe file in Linux? | 07:48 |
| RichiH | Until_It_Sleeps: try with wine | 07:49 |
| white-sheep | Until_It_Sleeps, Linux don't understand file extensions -- Use Wine. | 07:49 |
| === h[a]kr is now known as hakr | ||
| debasys | Arenlor: i see... btw heard there is another new file system as welll... do i need that? | 07:49 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Where's that? | 07:49 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe I just get bored and format and reinstall every so often actually. | 07:49 |
| RivitingOn1 | I need to find out if my hard drive is failing. Anyone know what utilities are available in linus to do this? | 07:49 |
| miranda_psi | Until_it_Sleeps: install wine, go wine some.exe and start praying :) | 07:49 |
| RichiH | Until_It_Sleeps: apt-get install wine | 07:49 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | RichiH: what? | 07:49 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | aptget? | 07:49 |
| TeslaTony | Does ubuntu 7.04 have any unresolved flash issues? | 07:50 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Is that some sort of command that I run in Terminal? | 07:50 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, issues? like not having the latest player?? | 07:50 |
| WikiUser32 | hl; | 07:50 |
| debasys | Arenlor: my primary ubuntu use will be learning terminal, linux, running a local web server [LAMP] to test few pages that i code, and login to my webhost's server to do some stuff... so i think this ext3 is fine for me? | 07:50 |
| TeslaTony | jim_p: That would kinda top the list, yeah... | 07:50 |
| jim_p | Until_It_Sleeps, sudo apt-get install wine | 07:50 |
| miranda_psi | Until_It_Sleeps: the "sudo apt-get install wine" is a command you run on the commandline | 07:51 |
| Arenlor | debasys: yes it is | 07:51 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, yes that is true. what are the others? | 07:51 |
| RivitingOn1 | Until_it_sleeps: Do you kno whow to bring up terminal? Type into terminal the following sudo apt-get install wine | 07:51 |
| saler | :), i get this message whe i try to install postfix-tls has nt installation candidate !!!! | 07:51 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: are you into performance? it seems you might be judging by some of your responses. fluxubunt, or ubuntu light are just ubuntu based distros. you might like them. they use ubuntu repositories, you just get the basics and add what you want to it. | 07:51 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | sudo: apt-get: command not found | 07:51 |
| Arenlor | Guys, wine is in add/remove | 07:51 |
| forensicwannabe | Arlenlor: that | 07:52 |
| TeslaTony | jim_p: Dunno. That's what I wanted to find out. A friend is trying to get flash working on her system, and I want to know if we have to do a reinstall and/or upgrade to get it working | 07:52 |
| forensicwannabe | Arlenlor: that's what I'm going to do. some day, I might get into remastering ubuntu myself | 07:52 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: I've tried grabbing the alternate and building up from there, it's a pain with upgrades though | 07:52 |
| evowill | TeslaTony, install flash from adobe.com | 07:52 |
| mbdl | need help wit ubuntu on my mac | 07:53 |
| earthling | TeslaTony: friend ?? ;) | 07:53 |
| forensicwannabe | good point | 07:53 |
| mbdl | anyone know the workings of the boot sequence | 07:53 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: have you ever tried fluxubuntu | 07:53 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, you can download the latest flashplayer 10 from a .deb from adobe | 07:54 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, and remove the relevant flash package before installing | 07:54 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: no I haven't, I've tried KDE and didn't really like it, I think I like GNOME myself | 07:54 |
| saler | :), i get this message whe i try to install postfix-tls has no installation candidate !!!! | 07:54 |
| forensicwannabe | Arlenor: that should be a problem for you since you get bored and you like to reinstall from time to time | 07:54 |
| refriedbeansOSX | <mbdl>: rEFIt is a good start | 07:55 |
| MK-Admin | So, when using the Panel System Monitor, my CPU's are set to 2.0GHz and 'on-demand'. How can I kick everything up to 3.0GHz? | 07:55 |
| RivitingOn1 | Until_It_Sleeps: This is the website for wine. wine = windows emulator. http://www.winehq.org/ It has a lot of info. You can also go the the synaptec package manager and dearch for wine there. | 07:55 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: KDE just felt too stiff for me | 07:55 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: isn't KDE just kubuntu | 07:55 |
| RivitingOn1 | Until_It_Sleeps: *Search | 07:55 |
| mbdl | refriedbeansOSX: so i need that to boot ubuntu w/ the boot disk | 07:55 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: KDE = K Desktop Environment, kubuntu does use it though | 07:55 |
| sdflkj | has flashplugin-nonfree been removed or do i need special repos? | 07:56 |
| jim_p | sdflkj, for what version of ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: Oh right, I musunderstood.... anyways, if I'm not mistaken, KDE has a big footprint just like ubuntu and kubuntu | 07:57 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: footprint? | 07:57 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, memory footprint | 07:58 |
| new2ubuntu | any one no of a good program to stream webcam to http similar to webcamxp | 07:58 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: you know: gnome desktop manager eats up all kinds of resources | 07:58 |
| Stargazer | How come my external 'My Book'(640gB) is 'read only' ? | 07:58 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, have you tried lxde? | 07:59 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer, sounds like you need to install NTFS support. | 07:59 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | ugh... I need to take the Linux class at my college... | 07:59 |
| jim_p | Stargazer, it was not "safely removed" from a windows pc | 07:59 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: Assuming your MyBook is NTFS formatted (Win XP) | 07:59 |
| Stargazer | Jim_p, i haven't started windows on this laptop... EVER. | 07:59 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: yeah I know, but I want something which is stable since I play around, a lot, I'm on Jaunty right now actually, and I need to have something stable to fall back on if I break things | 07:59 |
| RivitingOn1 | Until_It_Sleeps: Try not to get frustrated, or we'll both be lol. What are you having problems with? Toss one thing out at a time. | 08:00 |
| white-sheep | MK-Admin, Perhaps chmod + chown ? | 08:00 |
| jim_p | Stargazer, ok. maybe it was on another pc | 08:00 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: is lxde ubuntu or debian based? btw memory, and cpu time eater: gdm | 08:00 |
| Stargazer | Jim_p... my external hard drive('My Book') has never touched another computer containing Windows. | 08:00 |
| saler | :) , i get this message whe i try to install postfix-tls has nt installation candidate !!!! :( | 08:00 |
| Arenlor | Stargazer, "sudo fdisk -l" and see what it says it is | 08:01 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: type 'mount' into the terminal and copy/paste the single line that contains your mybook please. | 08:01 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, because i am in this "low memory madness too", lxde is a complete de based on openbox. it suggests gdm, but you can use xdm or slim | 08:01 |
| RivitingOn1 | Can anyone help me through installing GSmartControl in ubuntu 8.04? | 08:01 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | 1. I need to know how to run .exe files in Ubuntu. 2. I need a codec that can play WMA lossless audio files in that "Rhythmbox" player. | 08:01 |
| Stargazer | MK-Admin: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) | 08:01 |
| MK-Admin | Until_It_Sleeps: 1: wine, 2: Have you tried VLC? | 08:02 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, it was on debian as a third party repo, then it got to debians main repo, then in ubuntus | 08:02 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | VLC Media Player? | 08:02 |
| nickrud | saler, postfix comes with tls capability by default now | 08:02 |
| TeslaTony | jim_p: The .deb is for 8.04+, not 7.04..looks like some other upgrading is in order | 08:02 |
| Arenlor | saler, No installation candidate found means just that, it doesn't exist anymore. | 08:02 |
| MK-Admin | Until_It_Sleeps: Yes | 08:02 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Oh snap! :D | 08:02 |
| RivitingOn1 | Until_It_Sleeps: ok we'll start with 1. Have you had any luck finding wine yet? | 08:02 |
| TeslaTony | jim_p: Thanks for the help, though | 08:02 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Hold on a sec.... | 08:02 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: Hm. Well the 'rw' in the beginning means it is read-writable. | 08:02 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: you must have it on a dual boot. that's what I want to do, have ubuntu stable, and I think I'll install fluxubuntu on another partition to play with | 08:02 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: How did you determine it s read-only? | 08:03 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, it works on every deb distro. however it needs a smallpackage to be installed beforehand. let me chack my laptop. i did the same yesterday | 08:03 |
| andresmh | why is it that checking the intrepid-backports box in the Software Sources doesn't bring me OpenOffice 3? | 08:03 |
| Stargazer | MK-Admin... i now have 101gB of anime that's read only... as well as a number of anime folders that's locked up and so i can't add anything to them. | 08:03 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: lxde is in the ubuntu repos? | 08:03 |
| Arenlor | forensicwannabe: I dual boot Vista/Jaunty right now, but in the reinstall I'm getting rid of Vista, no longer need it. | 08:03 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, btw, it installed perfectly | 08:03 |
| Stargazer | MK-Admin, Transmission said 'Permission Denied.' | 08:03 |
| nickrud | Arenlor, not quite, postfix-tls is a virtual package; postfix provides it | 08:03 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, yes | 08:03 |
| andresmh | from reading the description of backport it seemed to imply that things like FF3.1 and OO3 would come from it | 08:04 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, dont go, brb | 08:04 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: It sounds like permissions, not read/write. Try creating a new text document on the drive. | 08:04 |
| xav_ | forensics: i deleted the partition so now i only have the partition on which windows is installed and unpartitioned space. it still wont boot the live ubuntu trial. should i try to install ubuntu in the windows partition? | 08:04 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: is it necessary to get a lxde disk in order to install? | 08:04 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: chown youruser:youruser -R /media/disk should fix your issue. | 08:04 |
| white-sheep | andresmh -- There are several tutorial on installing OO3 on latest Ubuntu. | 08:04 |
| white-sheep | andresmh -- I would know. I used one of them. ;o | 08:05 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: Assuming that writing the text file to the disk works. | 08:05 |
| andresmh | white-sheep, i know there are some tutorials :) i was just wondering what subscribing to backports would get me | 08:05 |
| empiric | guys any one use any good open soure document management system ? | 08:05 |
| andresmh | i thought it would bring me the latest untested versions of the apps i have | 08:05 |
| MK-Admin | empiric: OpenOffice Spreadsheet? | 08:05 |
| RivitingOn1 | Would I put the location of the file I am making after this line? ./configure && make && sudo make install | 08:06 |
| nickrud | andresmh, some; backports essentially scratches some dev's itch. | 08:06 |
| empiric | its not DMS | 08:06 |
| white-sheep | andresmh -- And why on earth would you want the untested versions? :3 | 08:06 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, there is no lxde disk. if what you seek is minimal, do a server installation + xorg + lxde. debian has made a live cd of lxde if you want to try. want me to look it up? | 08:06 |
| andresmh | well, i am willing to take the risk as some features are not working on my laptop, and i was hoping that they would on newer versions (webcam, mic, etc) | 08:06 |
| forensicwannabe | Arenlor: I have xp on a seperate partition, and I think I will replace it with one of the lighter distros | 08:06 |
| white-sheep | andresmh -- Add this to your sources list -- ## deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main ## deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main | 08:06 |
| nickrud | RivitingOn1, no, that's all you'd want. the make install reads the Makefile and puts files in place | 08:06 |
| empiric | DMS which i have a web based like where i can assign read write rights to users and its its html based its good enough | 08:07 |
| white-sheep | andresmh -- Then do the (sudo aptitude update) -- It should update to OO3. | 08:07 |
| andresmh | nickrud, are backports way too risky? | 08:07 |
| white-sheep | andresmh -- Assuming you know you're adding two lines to the list. | 08:07 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: i deleted the partition so now i only have the partition on which windows is installed and unpartitioned space. it still wont boot the live ubuntu trial. should i try to install ubuntu in the windows partition? | 08:07 |
| nickrud | andresmh, not really. I usually just enable it, install what I want, then disable | 08:07 |
| Stargazer | MK-Admin: "Operation not permitted" even with 'sudo' | 08:08 |
| nickrud | andresmh, I also use some ppa's, but those are more iffy. Really depends on who's maintaining it | 08:08 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: yeah, I'd like to look at it. question: isn't ubuntu minimal the same as debian minimal?\ | 08:08 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: what was the verdict on trying to write a file to it? | 08:08 |
| mbdl | how do i install refit | 08:08 |
| white-sheep | mbdl, refit ? | 08:09 |
| raylu | forensicwannabe: no. packages with the same name may be compiled from slightly different sources | 08:09 |
| RivitingOn1 | I am getting the same error as many others and the fix is apparently to "Just compile from source. ./configure && make && sudo make install (or run checkinstall)" I am not sure how to do that... | 08:09 |
| mbdl | rEFIt | 08:09 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, more or less its the same. minimal as in server install to get you to command line only. if you install the ubuntu-desktop package later, prepare for a big bloat | 08:09 |
| Stargazer | MK-Admin, i could write to any folder except the ones that contain my anime movie/files. | 08:09 |
| mbdl | rEFIt is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for Intel-based Macs. You can use it to boot multiple operating systems easily, including triple-boot setups with Boot Camp. It also provides an easy way to enter and explore the EFI pre-boot environment. | 08:09 |
| andresmh | which ppa's are you using nickrud, just curious | 08:09 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, excuse me a sec | 08:09 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: Interesting. | 08:09 |
| andresmh | are there ppa's for most popular apps nickrud? | 08:09 |
| raylu | forensicwannabe: and debian stable minimal is on older versions of ... everything | 08:09 |
| white-sheep | RivitingOn1 -- You have build-essential installed? | 08:09 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you don't need to run the live cd. just run the installation, and ubuntu will detect your windows os, and it will ask you if you want to repartition your drive, then you will tell it what percentage you want to give to ubuntu | 08:10 |
| RivitingOn1 | white-sheep: no idea, how do I find out? | 08:10 |
| MK-Admin | Stargazer: In terminal, navigate to the folder and type ls -la and copy a few lines, and then pastebin+link it | 08:10 |
| white-sheep | RivitingOn1, sudo aptitude search build-essential | 08:10 |
| andresmh | if i have backport enabled does that mean i am getting almost the same things that will go on the next version of ubuntu? i just wish i didn't feel like i have to download the latest installation cd in a few months to know i have the latest | 08:10 |
| nickrud | andresmh, they're for individual dev's or teams to push out test packages for stuff that's not readily available. And right now, no ppa's. I've used a couple for compiz stuff and fixes to wireless, but everythings ok for me right now | 08:11 |
| forensicwannabe | raylu: thanks | 08:11 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: do i do that from when i boot or now when i have windows up? i'm 99% sure i wont be able to install from boot, itll give me the black screen and do nothing after that. | 08:11 |
| mbdl | need help booting ubuntu from my macbook pro 4.1 ... i do not have mac installed... | 08:11 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, well you can always install minimal installation +xorg + *box + some file manager + panel + configuring all those | 08:12 |
| nickrud | andresmh, I' | 08:12 |
| raylu | andresmh: no. install jaunty if you want that | 08:12 |
| RivitingOn1 | white-sheep: Yes I have it | 08:12 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you cant install from windows. it is necessary to install from cd boot option | 08:12 |
| nickrud | ve been cut badly by bleeding edge; it's why I stick with stable stuff (and jaunty, I'm waiting till march or so) | 08:12 |
| andresmh | raylu, what would be the difference between installing jaunty and keeping my intrepid up-to-date ? | 08:12 |
| raylu | andresmh: lots and lots of breakage | 08:12 |
| MK-Admin | Is Jaunty 9.04? | 08:13 |
| nickrud | !jaunty | andresmh | 08:13 |
| ubottu | andresmh: 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 | 08:13 |
| raylu | andresmh: jaunty makes no guarantees of stability | 08:13 |
| MK-Admin | Thanks Nick | 08:13 |
| Sogod | tell ly how to use compiz | 08:13 |
| MK-Admin | andresmh: Jaunty is Beta. Beta is beta... That should answer your question, much like raylu's answer. | 08:13 |
| kj4hzw | i'm waiting for kooky kangaroo | 08:13 |
| Sogod | anyone there? | 08:13 |
| Stargazer | MK-Admin, i PMed you the link. | 08:13 |
| raylu | MK-Admin: jaunty is more like alpha | 08:13 |
| jim_p | TeslaTony, the name of the package is libcurl3 | 08:13 |
| nickrud | Sogod, lots of people :) | 08:14 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: the install inside windows option will not work when i put in the disk and have windows running? if not, then i think i'm out of luck. i don't think i can install any other way. | 08:14 |
| kj4hzw | i've been running ubuntu since bushy beaver | 08:14 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: a while back, I downloade ubuntu minimal, I think it was something like 8 or 9 megabites. I was surprised. is that the server install? | 08:14 |
| Sogod | tell me how to install compiz and get it working | 08:14 |
| MK-Admin | raylu: True. I use 'beta' because many people don't know what alpha represents. | 08:14 |
| andresmh | raylu, ok, so if i keep my intrepid up-to-date, by the time jaunty is out of beta, should i feel like i have no need to install jaunty? or would there be something i would get from jaunty that otherwise i wouldn't get from apt-get update? | 08:14 |
| raylu | forensicwannabe: i think you're mistaken | 08:14 |
| nickrud | Sogod, what version of ubuntu are you using, and what video card? | 08:14 |
| MK-Admin | andresmh: There is no rush to upgrade all the time. Keep with official releases and your system should stay rock solid. | 08:15 |
| andresmh | nickrud, how do you go about finding the URL of a PPA? like for example i want to find the PPA for intrepid for cheese, I googled it but nothing useful comes up... | 08:15 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, that is the minimum files needed to boot the system. the rest are provided either online or from some local network pc | 08:15 |
| raylu | andresmh: if you're asking about differences between ubuntu releases, i'd check the release notes for 8.10 and a few others if you want | 08:15 |
| RivitingOn1 | white-sheep: I have build-essential. Do I use that to compile from source? | 08:15 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: do you know how to set the bios to boot to cd? | 08:15 |
| Sogod | nickrud,i use 8.04 desktop& nvidia 8400gs | 08:15 |
| mbdl | white-sheep: how do i install if i dont have macosx installed | 08:15 |
| nickrud | andresmh, when jaunty comes out, you'll be offered a chance to upgrade to jaunty during an update-manager run | 08:15 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: oh, okay so the server minimal has a host of other stuff: like for example: server apps | 08:16 |
| Sogod | nickrud,there? | 08:16 |
| nickrud | Sogod, system->admin->hardware drivers, enable nvidia. Reboot. then system->prefs->appearances->effects tab, enable one of the options. Then sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and you'll have a new pref, advanced desktop settings | 08:16 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: yeah it boots from disk. i know how that works. it loads up the ubuntu screen and gives me the option of running the live disk, installing, or booting from hdd. When i try to run the live disc or install it gives me a blank screen and does no more. Which is why i have been trying to install through windows. | 08:17 |
| raylu | forensicwannabe: but those are installable on the desktop version anyway. the biggest difference besides the lack of a gui is a different kernel | 08:17 |
| DwightShroot | Question: is there a GIMP chatroom? | 08:17 |
| white-sheep | RivitingOn1, What are you trying to configure? There could be a deb out there for you to use. | 08:17 |
| bobbie4 | I Installed 8.10 tonight. And when I ran it for the first time some fat guy named Steve burst into my apartment and started throwing chairs at me. | 08:17 |
| MK-Admin | DwightShroot: #gimp ? | 08:17 |
| nickrud | andresmh, I've usually found references to them in bug reports ;) | 08:17 |
| white-sheep | mbdl -- What are you talking about? | 08:17 |
| mbdl | refit | 08:17 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, minimal for me means command line + a working kernel + some needed apps like apt or wget. something to get things started | 08:17 |
| raylu | DwightShroot: http://www.gimp.org/irc.html | 08:17 |
| raylu | DwightShroot: <3 google | 08:17 |
| mbdl | white-sheep: refit | 08:17 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, and thats what server installation is without specific stuff like ftp server or samba or the like | 08:18 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you need to get the alternate cd | 08:18 |
| white-sheep | mbdl -- That's for Macs -- Try Mac channel. | 08:18 |
| nickrud | andresmh, I didn't see your problem, why you want a ppa: is it for your webcam? | 08:18 |
| mbdl | white-sheep: what is the channel | 08:18 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: which alternate? this disc works fine on a different pc. | 08:18 |
| DwightShroot | Question: My browser closes when i open pandora radio, or try to view videos, i have just recently installed update, how could this be resolved | 08:18 |
| === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as alessio4ever | ||
| white-sheep | mbdl -- Try #mac | 08:19 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: yeah....command line + a working kernel + apt and/or wget..... much like gentoo | 08:19 |
| raylu | DwightShroot: consider reinstalling flash or moving your .mozilla folder | 08:19 |

| RivitingOn1 | White-sheep: There is a deb. I am trying to install GSmartControl so I can see if I have a problem with my hard drive as someone suggested earlier after looking at my system log for me. The problem is that the .deb is apparently for 8.10 so it gives an error "dependency is not satisfiable: Libcairomm-1.0-1" The fix is apparently to compile it from source but I don't know what that is or how to do it. | 08:20 |
| DwightShroot | can you tell me where i should move it to | 08:20 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: you need to go to ubuntu.com > get ubuntu > download, and download the alternate cd. | 08:20 |
| raylu | !wifi | dima6 | 08:20 |
| ubottu | dima6: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 08:20 |

| DwightShroot | thanks | 08:21 |

| forensicwannabe | jim_p: that's the way I like it. I want to put what I want on my box, I don't want a bunch of stuff I'm not going to use | 08:21 |
| evowill | DwightShroot: message sent | 08:21 |
| nickrud | RivitingOn1, compiling it won't work, because the packaging system still won't see you've installed that version of libcairomm | 08:22 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, me too | 08:22 |
| MK-Admin_ | MK-Admin_, test | 08:22 |

| Kaze_ | Bahh. Can't find any xchat plugins to play sounds on new messages | 08:23 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: should i get "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop" or do i need a 64bit version instead of 32. my cpu is 64bit but i'm just running 32bit windows? which one is the alternate? | 08:23 |
| Dantexdv0 | hello... anyone can recommend me a good media player on ubuntu? | 08:23 |
| === Juliiiie is now known as antoine[maison] | ||
| Kaze_ | MPlayer | 08:23 |
| white-sheep | xav_, Go for the 64ish. | 08:23 |
| kj4hzw | Dantexdv0, vlc is my fave | 08:23 |
| nickrud | Dantexdv0, rhythmbox, banshee, amarok | 08:24 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, no. archlinux is like minimal install to command line. and you install your stuff later on | 08:24 |
| nickrud | Dantexdv0, those are music players | 08:24 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, it even has kde4, and not 3! | 08:24 |
| Kaze_ | VLC or MPlayer | 08:24 |
| white-sheep | xav_, And Ubuntu 8.10. You won't get lot of updates on 8.04 as you would on 8.10 | 08:24 |
| miranda_psi | Kaze_: I prefer Mplayer - seems to work better for me | 08:24 |
| Dantexdv0 | yeah i used vlc but i got problems with subtitles and mplayer gives me video problems | 08:24 |
| === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as alessio4ever | ||
| Kaze_ | Same here. | 08:25 |
| xav_ | white-sheep: i already have 8.1, forensics said i needed an alternate | 08:25 |
| white-sheep | Dantexdv0, Try GNOME-MPlayer. I liked it but there are some issues with it for me. I jumped ships... back to VLC. | 08:25 |
| RivitingOn1 | Not really sure what that is. I haven't built anything yet because I can't figure out the syntax or commands on how to do it. Nickrud says it won't help anyway. I just need to find out if my HDD is failing or not. Any suggestions on what else I can use? | 08:25 |
| miranda_psi | Dantexdv0 & Kaze: never had any problems with Mplayer - plenty with vlc though... | 08:25 |
| miranda_psi | what video problems are you having? | 08:25 |
| hardcampa | there's 3 ok media players imho, mplayer, vlc and xine | 08:25 |
| hardcampa | try xine | 08:25 |
| miranda_psi | there is also gstreamer | 08:26 |
| nickrud | xav_, alternate means a text installer; completes installation on a wider variety of machines. Look at release.ubuntu.com/8.10 , they mention the alternate clearly | 08:26 |
| hardcampa | well it didn't make it into my list as an ok media player =) | 08:26 |
| miranda_psi | (standard video player in ubuntu) | 08:26 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: 32 bit is probably better for you. Some stuff is not supported in 64 bit and you could probably handle it, but it might be time consuming, so if you are now starting with linux, then it might be better to stick with 32 bit | 08:26 |
| Dantexdv0 | poor image.. on vlc the movie looks ok but in mplayer it gets kinda pixelated | 08:26 |
| gaminggeek | miranda_psi: gstreamer is a media libary | 08:26 |
| Kaze_ | You mean totem? It doesn't support many types. | 08:26 |
| gaminggeek | miranda_psi: what your looking for is totem | 08:26 |
| nickrud | RivitingOn1, smartmontools (no gui, but the same guts) | 08:27 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: isn't that what I said? anyways, sounds a lot like gentoo | 08:27 |
| miranda_psi | gaminggeek: I know and so is xine, but they both are what is used to decode media files... | 08:27 |
| white-sheep | RivitingOn1, Apparently there are PPA for it. Add two lines to your sources.list and update. Then install gmartcontrol | 08:27 |
| miranda_psi | there are also other front ends to gstreamer as well | 08:27 |
| MK-Admin_ | Amarok is an excellent music player. | 08:27 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: have you been watching what me and jim_p and Arenlor were talking about? | 08:27 |
| miranda_psi | totem can also be a front end for xine as well | 08:28 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, why do i think that gentoo also need the compilation of the kernel, the package manager etc? | 08:28 |
| xav_ | forensicwannabe: a bit, different linux variations? | 08:28 |
| nickrud | white-sheep, https://launchpad.net/~andreasbuchner/+archive/+build/733175 ? Failed to build is latest status | 08:28 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: oh, is that the difference: archlinux is already compiled? | 08:28 |
| Dantexdv0 | xine says the package is missing at my console | 08:28 |
| white-sheep | nickrud: My condolences. :< | 08:29 |
| white-sheep | RivitingOn1: Forget about the PPA. | 08:29 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, yes! and so are the packages for debian, and for ubuntu, and so on for any distro that has a minimal install | 08:29 |

| miranda_psi | Dantexdv0: pixelated in Mplayer? I have never seen that - I have always found that the image quality in Mplayer has been pretty high and it has never completely screwed up the video as vlc and others have done (just random colours and noise...) | 08:30 |

| wsgordon__ | miranda_psi i had some issues prior to hooking up the monitor, had a 15 inch, but i could boot, and got to the nvidia config utility and reset the display, now i cannot | 08:34 |
| forensicwannabe | xav_: of course you also have to consider likelihood, but it is likely that the problem can be solved with the installation cd | 08:34 |
| jim_p | Terrasque, somehwre in gnomes power management? | 08:34 |
| MK-Admin_ | R1_, No problems. Looked like the same question at first glance. | 08:34 |
| miranda_psi | Dantexdv0: plugin for what? | 08:34 |
| R1_ | TerrorBite, i've followed the instructions on the ubuntu page that talk about brctl. Didn't work for me =/ | 08:34 |
| forensicwannabe | Jim_p: his computer won't boot to the live cd or the install feature on his live cd boot disk | 08:34 |
| Dantexdv0 | for .avi files.. i was thinking maybe i have like a bad codec or something... | 08:34 |
| R1_ | TerrorBite, but yea, go on i want to see what you were going to say, i have bridge-utils | 08:35 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon__: what do you get when you run nvidia-settings ? | 08:35 |

| wsgordon__ | marinda_psi wont run | 08:39 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin_, no lol | 08:39 |
| R1_ | Hi, is there a networking expert here who can tell me how i can bridge my wifi and ethernet connection the same way xp would bridge them (by selecting the 2 adapters > right-click > select bridge)??? please?? | 08:39 |
| MK-Admin_ | amitprakash, Heh had to ask! | 08:39 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon: what happens? | 08:39 |
| forensicwannabe | I was thinking about using it because of it's securability.....that's another thing I like. I'm gonna bookmark that page | 08:39 |
| MK-Admin_ | amitprakash, Start off by looking at the logfiles to see what caused the crash. /var/log/syslog | 08:39 |
| wsgordon__ | marinda_psi bunch of errors and ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. | 08:39 |
| MK-Admin_ | wsgordon_, Executing as sudo | 08:40 |
| MK-Admin_ | wsgordon_, Executing as sudo? | 08:40 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon__: put a sudo in front of it... | 08:40 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin_, i looked at /var/log/xorg.0.log but it looks fine http://pastebin.com/m2666822b | 08:40 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, all linux distros can become secure. dont get me started about debians ups and downs please | 08:40 |

| forensicwannabe | jim_p: suggest what? and slackware is another distro that I have been interested in along with backtrack | 08:41 |
| nickrud | and discussions of relative distro merits don't really belong on the ubuntu support channel, anyway | 08:41 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon: now try resetting the xserver and see if its working... | 08:41 |
| MK-Admin_ | amitprakash, Pastebin your syslog too for the same time. | 08:41 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin_, ah ok | 08:41 |
| kj4hzw | forensicwannabe, arch linux is the one to try | 08:41 |
| wsgordon__ | how ? | 08:41 |
| Dantexdv0 | i don't know.. im just playing some .avi .. new at linux.. where can i download the latest version? cause i already tried to upgrade from the terminal both programs and it said i got the latest version available | 08:41 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, what was the reason for you to suggest debian lenny to that guy? | 08:41 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon: if that doesn't work try running the nvidia-settings again and see if anything bthere has changed... | 08:41 |
| wsgordon__ | how \do i rest the x server | 08:42 |
| kj4hzw | ctrl alt backspace wsgordon_ | 08:42 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: yeah all linux are securable, but I know that lenny fascilitates the process | 08:42 |
| RivitingOn1 | amitprakash: Would you mind taking a look at mine? http://paste.ubuntu.com/96644/ also http://paste.ubuntu.com/96696/ | 08:42 |
| nickrud | jim_p, forensicwannabe if you want to discuss other distros, I suggest (strongly) #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:42 |
| miranda_psi | Dantexdv0: go to http://mplayerhq.hu/ and also run sudo apt-get install svn | 08:42 |
| jim_p | forensicwannabe, oh ok, cant argue that | 08:42 |
| malianx | how dangerous is it to run on an underrated psu? | 08:43 |
| forensicwannabe | be sure to check out this website: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html | 08:43 |
| Dantexdv0 | console said couldn't get package svn | 08:43 |
| nickrud | Dantexdv0, subversion is the package name | 08:43 |
| miranda_psi | Dantexdv0: then once you have the svn copy just go into the directory and do the following: | 08:43 |
| miranda_psi | ./configure | 08:43 |
| miranda_psi | make | 08:43 |
| miranda_psi | sudo make install | 08:43 |

| jim_p | forensicwannabe, you can pm me if you want, but i wont be here for long | 08:44 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon: nvidia-settings still not showing higher resolutions? | 08:44 |
| wsgordon | marinda_psi nope | 08:44 |
| wsgordon | an i cans spell ;) | 08:44 |
| forensicwannabe | I'm downloading lenny now. how big is it. | 08:45 |
| wsgordon | miranda_psi can i manualy edit the xorg file | 08:45 |
| miranda_psi | wsgordon: all i cna suggest then is that you do some googling on how to edit the xorg.conf file to manually specify resolutions... | 08:45 |
| forensicwannabe | jim_p: yeah, I gotta go too. I'm downloading lenny live right now. how big is it? | 08:45 |

| paranoid_ndroid | is it possible to share a internet connection wirelessly between two laptops? | 08:50 |
| RivitingOn1 | Would anyone mind taking a look at these logs? http://paste.ubuntu.com/96644/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/96696/ I'm not really sure what I am looking for but I have been trying to figure out what is causing my system to freeze randomly. | 08:50 |

| rww | !ics | paranoid_ndroid | 08:50 |
| paranoid_ndroid | forensicwannabe, how can I do it? | 08:50 |

| paranoid_ndroid | forensicwannabe, that's what I'm doing. sorry, and thanks | 08:52 |

| forensicwannabe | there it is | 08:53 |
| nickrud | RivitingOn1, the X log looks ok, it doesn't look like pulseaudio is causing the freeze; I'd suggest booting up the memtest and letting it run overnight. All my freezes have been memory related | 08:53 |
| yoyit2 | anyone know why ubuntu says my hdd is full when there is more then 200GBs free?? | 08:57 |
| white-sheep | yoyit2 -- Full HDD installation? | 08:58 |
| MK-Admin_ | yoyit2, pastebin df -h | 08:58 |
| rww | yoyit2: run "df -H" in a terminal and copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then say the link in here. That command lists all the active storage spaces on your computer, so we can see if one of them got full somehow. | 08:58 |
| forensicwannabe | yoyit2: probably hasn't updated it's resources yet | 08:59 |
| MK-Admin_ | rww: jinx | 09:00 |
| white-sheep | Heh. | 09:00 |
| malianx | anyone know if it'll kill anything if I run one of the low footprint athlon64 x2's with an 8800gts, 2x 1g ddr2, and a single sata 7200rpm disk on 350w? | 09:01 |
| MK-Admin_ | malianx, If you can get it to boot I think you'll be fine. | 09:01 |
| RivitingOn1 | nickrud: Ok, I'll try it. I have run the memetest for about 6 passes. Would that have shown an issue or can it take more? Also, is there a program that can test a video card? I had one when I was using windows but haven't come across one on linux. | 09:01 |
| malianx | MK-Admin_, yeah? That was the thought I was having, but with psu's these days... I'm wary. | 09:02 |
| rww | RivitingOn1: a good rule of thumb on memtest86 is "overnight" | 09:02 |
| malianx | MK-Admin_, you don't think it'd be risky to try? | 09:02 |
| MK-Admin_ | malianx, Electronically speaking it is worse to have a lower voltage than a higher voltage. | 09:02 |
| nickrud | RivitingOn1, not for vid cards that I remember. And one error didn't show till nearly the entire suite of tests had run. That takes hours. | 09:02 |
| evowill | malianx: http://www.journeysystems.com/power_supply_calculator_popup.php | 09:03 |

| forensicwannabe | yoyit2: also run: sudo find -size +15000000 when your computer sees that there are no 15 gig files on your hard disk, it's gonna realize that the space is free. something lied to your computer, and when you show it the truth, it will wake up. if +15000000 doesn't work, then try a bigger file, like +30000000 | 09:04 |
| evowill | malianx: just put the closest values into that calculator, and it will let you know where you stand as far as a minimum supply | 09:04 |
| malianx | evowill, MK-Admin_ thanks | 09:04 |

| evowill | yoyit2, are you sure they aren't in the trash? | 09:06 |

| white-sheep | yoyit2 -- Removing 222 GB of porn stash. You're coming clean. I'm *very* impressed with you. :3 | 09:07 |
| rww | yoyit2: Hmm. How did you delete them? rm at the command line? From the GNOME file manager? | 09:07 |
| ciro | who does use winwrap for animated desktop? i followed a guide but it doesnt work...screensaver goes above the desktop and not beyond...who can help me? | 09:07 |

| yoyit2 | rww: just selected all of them, and hit delete | 09:08 |
| MK-Admin_ | yoyit2, Face it, everyone knows. The sooner you admit it, the sooner we can help you. | 09:08 |
| yoyit2 | rww: then it said no room in trash, and it deleted it all | 09:08 |

| rww | yoyit2: Hmm. What's the output of "du -h ~/.local/share/Trash/"? That command lists how much disk space the GNOME Trash-related directories are taking up. If they somehow ended up in there anyway, that might explain it. | 09:11 |
| [e]Lement | MK-Admin_, you could always run an e2fsk check on your disk... | 09:11 |

| rww | rww> yoyit2: run "df -H" in a terminal and copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then say the link in here. That command lists all the active storage spaces on your computer, so we can see if one of them got full somehow. | 09:21 |
| rww | yoyit2: and actually put it in pastebin this time, instead of summarizing it for me. | 09:22 |
| yoyit2 | that link doesnt work | 09:22 |
| yoyit2 | rww: that link doesnt work | 09:22 |
| [e]Lement | Yes it does | 09:22 |
| nbeebo | MK-Admin_, but im too lazy :( ok just cuz im feeling good | 09:22 |
| rww | yoyit2: http://pastebin.com/ then | 09:22 |
| forensicwannabe | yoyot2: did you try the command I gave you? | 09:22 |

| [e]Lement | I am not sure if the computer can recognize two ALT keys being pressed | 09:26 |
| newmember | white-sheep: from the CLI | 09:27 |
| Flannel | newmember: Look into curlftpfs (thats a package) | 09:27 |
| grigora | [e]Lement: hmmm, used to work and it's one of the options in the menu for changing the keyboard layout | 09:27 |
| newmember | Flannel: nice find thanks | 09:27 |
| rww | yoyit2: You installed Ubuntu via Wubi. That install process made an 8GB file on your Vista partition and used it to store Ubuntu, so that you didn't have to repartition. Unfortunately, one of the quirks of Wubi is that if its storage file gets full, it doesn't expand it to fill available space on the Vista partition. So, your Ubuntu storage area is still 8GB. It's now full. Deleting stuff from /host didn't do anything, because /host is your Vista partition, n | 09:28 |
| rww | ot Ubuntu's "loopback" storage file. | 09:28 |
| newmember | Which is better FTP of NFS, I guess I have both options to work out, is there advantage one over another? | 09:28 |
| pallu | hello all of you | 09:28 |
| pallu | any know how to configure mysqld? | 09:28 |
| rww | yoyit2: So, solution time. Easy solution: move stuff to /host/. Somewhat harder solution: make a new loopback file and move /home/ or some other large folder to it. Even harder solution (last time I checked, anyway): resize your Ubuntu loopback file. | 09:29 |
| MK-Admin_ | new2ubuntu, depends what you want to do, but this isn't the place to ask. | 09:29 |
| rww | yoyit2: Best long-term solution: back up your files and reinstall Ubuntu from a CD and stop using Wubi. | 09:29 |
| [e]Lement | rww, well said. =) | 09:29 |
| white-sheep | MK-Admin_, Very nice. Where on the earth did you retrieve Hamster from? | 09:29 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, sudo apt-cache search track | 09:30 |
| [e]Lement | white-sheep, synaptic package mananer | 09:30 |

| MK-Admin_ | [e]Lement, <-- old school too | 09:30 |
| [e]Lement | So am I, I am trying to make it easier for them. Haha. I use commandline more than GTK Apps. | 09:30 |
| MK-Admin_ | They should learn the ways of the force. | 09:30 |
| yoyit2 | MK-Admin_: why are you on this server?? all you talk about is Porn, Games, and Starwars???? | 09:31 |
| [e]Lement | Would that make Linus Torvalds Darth Vader? | 09:31 |
| Squawk | Hey chaps, just done a fresh install on a maters puter, everything working fine except for xine. Xine is looking for /dev/dvd, but the device is at scd0. A symbolic link in /dev sorts the problem but does not persist after a restart (/dev created on the fly presumably, I'm new to ubuntu, not linux). Any help | 09:31 |
| MK-Admin_ | yoyit2, ...Why should I *not* be on this server? | 09:31 |
| [e]Lement | yoyit2, you must not know about freenode...ahaha | 09:31 |
| MK-Admin_ | [e]Lement, We all know Linus is the Dark Sith Lord. | 09:32 |
| rww | yoyit2: give me a sec to figure out the resizing thing :) | 09:32 |
| yoyit2 | rww k thz | 09:32 |
| yoyit2 | rww: *thx | 09:32 |
| yoyit2 | [e]Lement: what?? | 09:32 |
| [e]Lement | yoyit2, nevermind. | 09:33 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, Not sure if that's the right tracker one honestly. | 09:33 |
| earthling | MK-Admin_: he is got to be shittin me.. doesn't know sith??? | 09:33 |
| hateball | Squawk: if that's the way you'd like to solve it, you could always put something like... "ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd" in /etc/rc.local | 09:33 |
| white-sheep | MK-Admin_, It is -- But I ran the search -- It didn't find the said package. | 09:33 |
| scientes | my usb ports dont work in linux on this compaq | 09:34 |
| hateball | Squawk: Then again.. I'm sure it's configurable in Xine | 09:34 |
| Grassputin | freenode is where script-kiddies, hackers, crackers and P2P folks come for down time.... :P | 09:34 |
| [e]Lement | white-sheep, hamster-applet | 09:34 |
| Squawk | hateball, actually I figure it has to be configurable in xine, just not figured it out yet and was kinda hoping someone might know off hand | 09:34 |
| miranda_psi | Squark: go into the xine player, goto settings and go to the media tab - you can set the location of the dvd drive there | 09:34 |
| [e]Lement | !freenode | 09:34 |
| ubottu | freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml | 09:34 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, Probably have to uncomment the sources in apt | 09:34 |
| [e]Lement | I prefer Grassputin's better | 09:34 |
| rww | yoyit2: do you still have Windows installed, or did you remove it? | 09:34 |
| white-sheep | [e]Lement, I know. I installed and the package is correct. However, what puzzled me is that how did you find the package when I (I think) didn't find anything about Hamster. | 09:34 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment 'em | 09:35 |
| white-sheep | MK-Admin_, The package is installed. I restarted the Gnome. It's there. But where did you came up with the package 'hamster' | 09:35 |
| [e]Lement | we just know.... | 09:35 |
| white-sheep | Lulz.... :o | 09:35 |
| [e]Lement | We didn't come up with it...he just knew the answer. | 09:35 |
| Squawk | miranda_psi, hateball, for reference (in case anyone else asks) the problem is that the xine settings UI defaults to "beginner" and the ability to set the device is hidden. Have to change the user level to be able to get at it. Thanks | 09:35 |
| Squawk | just found it | 09:36 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, I searched the apt package manager cache | 09:36 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, Hamster is not the right item. Instal gtimer. | 09:36 |

| MK-Admin_ | huwenfeng, type /join #freebsd | 09:40 |
| Grassputin | or just double click on this: #freebsd | 09:40 |

| yoyit2 | rww: yeah i do | 09:41 |
| white-sheep | Brb. Gotta put down the wolf first. >_> | 09:42 |
| sabgenton2 | or does it at least look obvious | 09:42 |
| forensicwannabe | sabgenton2: apt-get always gives you the latest version, unless the latest version is not in the ubuntu ropos. Then you have to find the deb file for the latest version | 09:43 |
| forensicwannabe | apt-get will not tell you if there is a later version | 09:43 |
| style | How can I force an unmount? I won't to unmount / | 09:44 |
| style | wan't* | 09:44 |
| style | want* | 09:44 |
| sabgenton2 | if i type apt-get install foo and foo is allready installed it says it is | 09:44 |
| rww | yoyit2: Okay. I'd recommend you switch from a Wubi install to a full Ubuntu install, because it will make this and other potential problems go away. Would you like me to give you instructions on how to do that (we can transfer all your settings and files), or would you like to resize anyway (which I wouldn't really recommend)? | 09:44 |
| MK-Admin_ | style, sudo umount /foo -o force | 09:44 |
| sabgenton2 | but if i do the same thing and there is a new foo | 09:44 |
| miranda_psi | style: what are you trying to unmount? and how? | 09:45 |
| sabgenton2 | will it say "foo is all ready installed but there is a new foo" | 09:45 |
| sabgenton2 | ? | 09:45 |
| style | miranda_psi: root partition, sda1, through gparted | 09:45 |
| style | sabgenton2: It will just update it | 09:45 |
| rww | style: you can't unmount /, because the currently-running Ubuntu system needs it to work properly. If you want to do something that requires it be unmounted, boot from a live CD (like an Ubuntu CD) and do it from there. | 09:45 |
| MK-Admin_ | sabgenton2, try dpkg -l foo | 09:45 |
| yoyit2 | rww it took me a LONG time to get it to work on my HP laptop, im not really wanting to reinstall it | 09:45 |
| [e]Lement | installation is much easier. | 09:46 |
| DefamedPrawn | happy ny | 09:46 |
| [e]Lement | yoyit2, do you have recovery CDs? | 09:46 |
| style | rww: I can't boot a livecd. | 09:46 |
| rww | yoyit2: You don't need to reinstall it. We can transfer your current install to a full partition. It's a little involved, but definitely possible. | 09:46 |
| yoyit2 | rww: ok | 09:46 |
| rww | style: well, you can't unmount or repartition your current root folder, so unless you can figure out how to boot a liveCD, or can boot from a USB or something, this is gonna be difficult :P | 09:47 |
| forensicwannabe | sabgenton2: no, but why don't you try it and see what it does. you will need to google: latest version, and/or do a source forge search for the latest version | 09:47 |
| white-sheep | Anybody here really using Evolution or web-based mail? | 09:47 |
| style | rww: I have a wubi install, but I want a real install. So I need to do somethong so I can partition. | 09:47 |
| style | BIOS is locked. I do not know what grub is capable of booting. | 09:47 |
| rww | style: Huh. Coincidentally, I'm helping yoyit2 with the exact same thing right now. | 09:47 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, I use thunderbird and gmail | 09:47 |
| white-sheep | MK-Admin_, Thunderbird > Evolution ? | 09:48 |
| [e]Lement | style, who locked the BiOS? | 09:48 |
| MK-Admin_ | white-sheep, Never touched Evo 'cause Thunderbird rocks. | 09:48 |
| Grassputin | Yeah Evolution is a pretty crappy opensource version of crappy closed source stuff.... stick to thunderbird | 09:48 |

| [e]Lement | Going to have to reset the CMOS. | 09:49 |
| rww | yoyit2: Okay. The basic process we're going to be following is outlined at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 09:49 |
| huwenfen1 | Oh,my god, it all failed! | 09:49 |
| [e]Lement | Laptops you have to find the place to jump it to | 09:49 |
| sabgenton2 | style: so does apt not ask Y/n for updates? | 09:49 |
| huwenfen1 | i just can not join #freebsd or #python | 09:49 |

| Sogod | anyone there? | 09:50 |
| style | Grassputin: May I have the links? | 09:50 |
| rww | yoyit2: The first thing you're going to need to do is boot from a LiveCD. If it recognizes your internet, hop into this channel and I'll help you from there. If not, boot back into your Ubuntu install and I'll give you the steps to write down. | 09:50 |

| pikario | if a friend sends me a file of an install and i see that it has the same md5sum as the original version, does that mean it hasn't been tampered with in any way? | 09:50 |
| Sogod | guys tell me how to install compiz and get it working.. | 09:51 |
| rww | Sogod: plenty of people, yes :) | 09:51 |
| white-sheep | pikario -- Pretty much yes. | 09:51 |
| pikario | ok thx | 09:51 |
| rww | pikario: it's very likely, yes. It's theoretically possible that you got another file with the same md5sum, but that's very unlikely. | 09:51 |
| yoyit2 | rww ...i cant do it right now, kuz here its like 2am, so ill have to follow the instructions on the site tomorrow | 09:51 |
| sabgenton2 | MK-Admin:when dpkg gives the version is that the version avalible or installed | 09:51 |
| white-sheep | pikario -- And if your friend tampered with it, then he's not really your friend -- is he? Otherwise you wouldn't be here. | 09:51 |
| Sogod | help.. | 09:51 |
| MK-Admin | sabgenton2, if it has ii it is installed. | 09:51 |

| rww | yoyit2: Okay. Write down that link I gave you and come back into the channel tomorrow if you need help. Make sure to tell whoever's in here tomorrow that you're following that link's instructions so they know what's going on. Good luck :) | 09:52 |
| pikario | im not saying he tampered with it , maybe the file he got from the torrent is bad. i usually don't trust them but i can't find the original source | 09:52 |
| forensicwannabe | sabgenton2: no you have to tell apt to update, but that still doesn't mean it's the latest version, even if you do update | 09:52 |
| sabgenton2 | ok so yes | 09:52 |
| pikario | but i do have the md5sum and it matches, so it's probably safe | 09:52 |
| rww | pikario: correct | 09:52 |
| pikario | ok | 09:52 |
| yoyit2 | rww thanks, and i will | 09:52 |

| Sogod | grassputin,now what? | 09:57 |
| jj1 | how do i get that | 09:57 |
| DeadmonkeyX | k | 09:57 |
| Sogod | hello. | 09:57 |
| Grassputin | Sogod, check the compiz packages should only be like 2 and install them | 09:57 |
| Sogod | i did now... | 09:57 |
| rww | Sogod: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> Normal or Extra. If that doesn't work, tell us the error you get. | 09:58 |
| MichaelKohler | how can I set "list view" in nautilus as standard for every folder? | 09:58 |
| jj1 | where can i get wine | 09:58 |
| Grassputin | Sogod, do you have an ATI or NVIDIA card? Because you need to install the proprietary drivers before compiz will work | 09:58 |
| evowill | jjl: you can also look at native Linux poker programs instead of running Windows software through wine | 09:58 |
| malianx | jj1: apt-get install wine | 09:58 |

| forensicwannabe | Sogod: type compiz into your terminal, and tell me what it says, btw what system are you using? | 09:58 |
| evowill | <jj1> for example, PokerTH is available sudo apt-get install pokerth | 09:58 |
| Grassputin | jjl: Go to Add/Remove Programs -> All Open Source -> Search WINE and install it | 09:59 |

| grobda24 | Is there a GUI way of installing grub on my first HD to dual boot into Ubuntu on a second HD ? | 10:00 |
| phix | hi | 10:00 |

| Sogod | forensicwannabe,help? | 10:03 |
| Sweeney`Todd | bonjour ^_^ | 10:03 |
| forensicwannabe | Sogod: are you working on a eeepc | 10:03 |
| miranda_psi | grodba24: the easiest thing to do would be to set the bios to boot from the second hdd and get grub to link to windows on the first hdd... (grub by default installs on the first hdd) | 10:04 |
| rww | Nautilus Edit -> Preferences -> Views -> Default View: View new folders using: [List View] | 10:04 |

| MichaelKohler | thanks rww | 10:04 |
| Sogod | forensicwannabe,what is eeepc? | 10:04 |
| Sweeney`Todd | sorry \o/ | 10:04 |
| forensicwannabe | Sogod: obviously not | 10:04 |
| bidossessi | forensicwannabe, :p, that's NOT gonna be easy | 10:04 |
| Sogod | forensicwannabe,whats wrong with my system? | 10:05 |
| forensicwannabe | Sogod: you may need to check to make sure that the you have all the library dependencies that compiz needs | 10:05 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, only you can answer that | 10:05 |
| Sogod | library dependecy maens? | 10:05 |
| bidossessi | forensicwannabe, :p, really really NOT easy, ha ha | 10:06 |
| Sogod | guys? | 10:06 |
| forensicwannabe | bidossessi: wel it's a start: | 10:06 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, what graphics card do you have? | 10:06 |
| forensicwannabe | you have to start somewhere | 10:06 |
| MK-Admin | amitprakash, Have you tried using Envy? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Sogod: what's up ? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | !envy | 10:07 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 10:07 |
| bidossessi | forensicwannabe, i often make people start with http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm | 10:07 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin, err isnt envy just a package manager? | 10:07 |
| Sogod | i use nvidia 8400gs | 10:07 |
| ikonia | amitprakash: no | 10:07 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin, actually a front end to aptitude | 10:07 |
| ikonia | amitprakash: it is an unsupported tool | 10:07 |
| ikonia | amitprakash: not it is not | 10:08 |
| amitprakash | hmm | 10:08 |
| Sogod | help........ | 10:08 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, is it your first time installing linux? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Sogod: what is the problem | 10:08 |
| grobda24 | miranda_psi (did they go?) ... any idea how to do that with SATA drives ? Also I lost my MBR on the windows drive (although not the drive contents). Grub does not need it does it if I boot from the second drive ? | 10:08 |
| Sogod | biodossessi,actually yes | 10:09 |
| bidossessi | !cli | 10:09 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:09 |
| MK-Admin | amitprakash, It's its own program helped to get new drivers easily installed | 10:09 |
| bidossessi | good, it exists here | 10:09 |
| forensicwannabe | didossessi: LOL I often make people start with this website: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com | 10:10 |
| jj1 | why do i need a password to change my settings if i havent set one yet | 10:10 |
| ikonia | last forensicwannabe | 10:11 |
| jj1 | can someone help | 10:11 |
| forensicwannabe | ikonia: what? when people are having problems with ubuntu, they have to learn about google | 10:11 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, the first thing you need to do is check wether your nvidia card has been recognized by your new OS, for that, you need to type either glxgears or glxinfo | grep -i "^opengl vendor" in a console | 10:11 |
| ikonia | forensicwannabe: I didn't say they didn't have to | 10:12 |
| Sogod | da ninakonnu parayan wayyallae | 10:12 |
| bidossessi | forensicwannabe, that also works :D | 10:12 |
| n2diy | jjl, because you need permission to change them. | 10:12 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin, getting it now | 10:12 |
| forensicwannabe | ikonia: google is a tool for ubuntu support | 10:12 |
| ikonia | forensicwannabe: I didn't say it wasn't | 10:12 |
| amitprakash | MK-Admin, though as the crashes are random.. i wouldnt know if the problem persists for quite sometime :) | 10:12 |
| forensicwannabe | I didn't understand you | 10:12 |
| MK-Admin | amitprakash, :) one way to find out | 10:13 |
| jj1 | i just bought it and i havent set up any passwords | 10:13 |
| ikonia | jj1: what's the problem | 10:13 |
| Sogod | i saw some window with gears | 10:13 |
| jj1 | i cant change my settings, it asks for a permission password | 10:13 |
| forensicwannabe | ikonia: why did you say "last" | 10:14 |
| ikonia | jj1: what password | 10:14 |
| Sogod | poda manda | 10:14 |
| ikonia | forensicwannabe: didn't know I had, must have been a typo | 10:14 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, that is good news. it means your graphics card has been properly setup | 10:14 |
| Sogod | haha | 10:14 |
| forensicwannabe | ikonia: that explains everything | 10:14 |
| Sogod | then what? | 10:14 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, now, what you need to do is install the compiz packages. open your package management too. for that, using the menu, you open synaptic package manager, or something... | 10:15 |
| Sogod | i installed now what? | 10:16 |
| bidossessi | sogod, actually, there's a good chance it was already installed. | 10:16 |
| gmathews | Hi is there any mp3 dj'ing program for Ubuntu? | 10:16 |
| Sogod | i intalled | 10:16 |
| bidossessi | Sogod, now what you need to do is activate compiz. for that, you can open your display properties, and under the visual effects tab, activate visual effects | 10:16 |
| Sogod | i did extra | 10:17 |
| bidossessi | i don't remember presently where that is located, but i'm sure someone here will provide that info | 10:17 |

| bidossessi | Sogod, once that is done, you can verify that compiz is working by doing, for example "ctrl-alt-right-arrow", and see if your screen does a nice visual effect | 10:18 |

| bidossessi | forensicwannabe, that wasn't french he was baabling | 10:21 |
| simu | hi, can someone please tell me the group id of the group admin (grep admin /etc/group)? | 10:21 |
| forensicwannabe | simu: 0000 | 10:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bidossessi: wouldnt that be root? | 10:22 |
| reenignEesreveR | is it possible to authenticate svn repositories using unix accounts? | 10:22 |
| bidossessi | Pirate_Hunter, ??? | 10:22 |
| blafasel | reenignEesreveR: Use svn+ssh and you get it for free. | 10:23 |
| forensicwannabe | Private_Hunter: must be | 10:23 |
| grobda24 | Thanks miranda_psi .. it's on the way now. | 10:23 |
| * simu rolls his eyes | 10:23 | |
| dongler | hey guys, is there such a thing as a "pre-down" command in /etc/network/interfaces. I want to save whatever changes I may have made to my iptables config with iptables-save at shutdown, but if I run a post-down command the iptables rules get wiped | 10:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bidossessi: you asked about the group admin than it would be root but you can check all the groups under system>admin.. | 10:23 |
| gmathews | Hi can someone point me to installing Project M (milkdrop alternative) for Amarok - Running 8.10 Ubuntu | 10:24 |
| blafasel | dongler: Usually there's an init script for that, which is invoked before shutdown and runs iptables-save. Why do you want to do it based on interface events? | 10:24 |
| bidossessi | Pirate_Hunter, wrong nick. i didn't ask anything | 10:24 |
| dongler | blafasel, tbh just playing about with the config, I'm coming from gentoo which has no real equivalent of /etc/network/interfaces so I'm trying to figure out exactly what does what | 10:25 |
| dongler | blafasel, not figured out the debian/ubuntu init system properly yet either, but getting there | 10:26 |
| simu | forensicwannabe: so admin really is 0000, are you sure? | 10:26 |
| evowill | gmathews: #amarok | 10:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bidossessi: oh ok | 10:27 |
| forensicwannabe | simu: full administration rights are given to the root user and group. the root user number is 0000 and the root group number is 0000 | 10:28 |
| mayank | any mobile software for ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| blafasel | dongler: Gentoo, btw, would save your iptables rules just like I just described. | 10:28 |
| simu | forensicwannabe: nice thanks for sharing. anyway what is the gid of the group admin? | 10:28 |
| simu | forensicwannabe: grep ^admin /etc/group| awk -F ":" '{print $3}' | 10:29 |

| sysdoc | Anyone know if there is a fix coming to allow 8.10 to browse windows shares? | 10:31 |
| mindrape | sysdoc - you need samba. | 10:31 |
| dongler | blafasel, yeah it does, but the init script for iptables comes along with the package. Ie, emerge iptables and get the init script automatically. I'm new to debian/ubuntu and AFAIK there is no default iptables init script, so I figured I would have a play with /etc/network/interfaces and the various commands. If you say an init script is a better option for ubuntu too then I'll write one | 10:31 |
| mindrape | !samba | sysdoc | 10:31 |
| ubottu | sysdoc: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

| mindrape | sysdoc - if you configure samba properly it will. Do you want nautilus to be able to browse them or something? | 10:32 |
| blafasel | simu: Although I understood your question the first time already I'm unable to access an ubuntu system right now. Sorry. | 10:32 |
| sysdoc | mindrape, no it won't, it connects to a share with no problem but does not see them from nautilas | 10:33 |
| forensicwannabe | simu: what? did you run that command? Then, don't you have the admin Id? | 10:33 |
| mindrape | sysdoc- http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/browse-a-samba-or-ms-windows-share-in-nautilus.html | 10:34 |
| mindrape | sysdoc - yes it does. It's a configuration issue on your end is all... | 10:34 |

| testera122 | hi I have question regarding creation of custom liveCD/installCD - I have created the LiveCD - so far so good, is there any way to automatically (e.g. script) convert its contents to be isntalled using ubuntu install? (e.g. how to export filesystem.manifest to pool) | 10:35 |
| forensicwannabe | simu: why are you asking me to do it? | 10:36 |
| water | quit | 10:36 |
| simu | forensicwannabe: because I dont think the admin group id is 0000 as you say | 10:36 |
| grobda24 | bidossessi, so it just goes straight into loading Ntldr Win XP boot menu ? | 10:36 |
| mindrape | adityag: sudo apt-get install brasero then from a commandline type brasero & also k3b oughta do it. | 10:37 |
| forensicwannabe | simu: oh, you are right, but I thought you probably meant the root account | 10:37 |
| simu | forensicwannabe: so what is the number? | 10:37 |
| * simu rolls his eyes again | 10:37 | |
| bidossessi | grobda24, grub runs a chainloader pointing to your windows partition. windows' bootloader is bypassed | 10:37 |

| theunixgeek | kernan: what partitions do you want to format | 10:47 |
| theunixgeek | ? | 10:47 |
| kernan | i have 2 hdds unallocated | 10:47 |
| theunixgeek | You can't format the partition you're running an OS from :P | 10:47 |
| bidossessi | kernan, is there a reason you want to format your hdds using ntfs? | 10:47 |
| theunixgeek | kernan: are they separate hard disks or just partitions? | 10:47 |
| kernan | i just thoought that was a good format | 10:47 |
| simu | mindrape: have a nice day | 10:47 |
| kernan | seperate hdd | 10:48 |
| theunixgeek | kernan: and what do you mean by you "thought that was a good format?" | 10:48 |
| bidossessi | kernan, that's a windows format. linux has losts of other formats available.what do you intend to keep on them? | 10:48 |
| kernan | i just want to keep regular stuff | 10:48 |
| bidossessi | kernan, do you want to store like video files on them, or something? | 10:49 |
| new2ubuntu | hey just throwing this out there while im on here but i just installed proftpd and gadminproftpd and when i run i get segmentation fault any one know how to fix? | 10:49 |

| kernan | nothing in particular | 10:49 |
| mayank | i have download / installed gparted but where it has installed? | 10:49 |
| hspaans | mayank: using the package management? | 10:49 |
| Zealot12 | I need some help with something. So, I wonder, if I broke my system already lol. I manually dragged some old package files from the apt/archive/cache folder to the trash in root, and when I went to delete the items it said "Sorry can't display the contents of "trash": operation not supported" and I can't seem to delete the files or view that trash at all. I have been trying all sorts of things for an hour, so im not sure how to go about this. Is there a so | 10:50 |
| bidossessi | kernan, then ext3 is perfect for you. it's a journaling file system that works quite well (fyi, ntfs is also a journaling file system but it's exclusively used by windows NTsystems) | 10:50 |
| blafasel | Zealot12: Just curious: You are logging in as root? | 10:50 |
| mindrape | Zealot12: look in ~/.local/share/Trash | 10:50 |
| blafasel | Or did you talk about stuff from the root of the filesystem? | 10:51 |
| mindrape | also do an ls -alh to see what perms/ownership that folder has as you likely messed them up. | 10:51 |
| bidossessi | is logging as root even possible in ubuntu? | 10:51 |
| joaopinto | Zealot12, you should not login as root, that will get you into troubles | 10:51 |
| mindrape | bidossessi: yes but not recommended. | 10:51 |
| mayank | hspaans, i have installed it but won;t find id in any menu... | 10:51 |
| bidossessi | mayank, the question was: HOW did you install it? | 10:52 |
| kernan | bidossessi heh thanks thats what i wanted to know! | 10:52 |
| mayank | add/remove applications.. | 10:52 |
| hspaans | Zealot12: there is an option in the package manager to clean up your cache | 10:52 |
| jussio1 | !supportroot | 10:52 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 10:52 |
| bidossessi | kernan, welcome :) | 10:52 |
| mindrape | mayank: if you did apt-get install gparted then various components of it are all over your system... which gparted to find where the binary executable is... likely in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin | 10:52 |
| mindrape | err.. since its for partitioning maybe /sbin | 10:52 |
| kernan | bidossessi after i formatted my drive i cannot find it! | 10:52 |
| Zealot12 | yeah it certainly got me into some trouble tonight. well, at first, when I dragged the files (this was before I found a less strenuous method to deleting these cache files) I simply dragged them to the folder. Then a dialog box came up saying I couldn't do it so I figured that meant I needed to have administrative rights to delete the files so I logged in as root then dragged them there and that's where the problems started | 10:53 |
| o_O[anu] | Vbox installing Ubuntu x64, Keyboard couldn't type correctly, have you ever met? | 10:53 |
| hspaans | mindrape: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/gparted/filelist <-- you mean /usr/sbin ;-) | 10:53 |
| bidossessi | mayank, try running alt-f2, and entering gparted in the given field | 10:53 |
| mindrape | hspaans: read my followup line... | 10:53 |
| blafasel | Zealot12: Ouch. | 10:53 |
| === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 | ||
| mindrape | there was an implied /usr/ and /usr/local/ | 10:54 |
| mayank | its says Since GParted is a powerful tool capable of destroying partition tables and vast amounts of data, only root may run it. | 10:54 |
| bidossessi | kernan, partitions are mounted in linux. they don't appear automatically. to "see" your partition, as in write stuff to it, you'd need to mount it somewhere, preferably in your home folder, if you're the only one using the system | 10:54 |
| mindrape | mayank: so you use gksudo | 10:54 |
| mayank | whole command? | 10:54 |
| Zealot12 | So yeah, is there not a solution? Or would I need to just reinstall Ubuntu? Luckily I backed up my stuff | 10:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | is there an alternate version of firefox which takes less resources? | 10:55 |
| bullgard4 | Why are there 2 identical files /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic and /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config on my computer? One should be enough. (Ubuntu 8.04.1) | 10:55 |
| mindrape | mayank - when it installs gparted it will pop up in your System -> Administration -> partition editor menu | 10:55 |
| kernan | bidossessi how can i mount it? | 10:55 |
| mindrape | Zealot12: like I said before ls -alh ~/.local/share/Trash | 10:55 |
| hspaans | Pirate_Hunter: version 3 is the less resources one, but you can also try epiphany | 10:55 |
| bidossessi | !mount | 10:55 |

| theunixgeek | How can I be sure OpenOffice is completely uninstalled? | 10:55 |
| bidossessi | !fstab | kernan | 10:55 |
| ubottu | kernan: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 10:55 |
| o_O[anu] | Vbox installing Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64, Keyboard couldn't type correctly, have you ever met? | 10:56 |
| new2ubuntu | ok google says there is a fault with gadmin-proftpd any one know of the fix? | 10:56 |
| mindrape | theunixgeek - check synaptic to see if any lingering parts are selected? | 10:56 |
| theunixgeek | mindrape: see, that's the thing - I selected to completely remove openoffice, but when I reinstall it, it still has the weird theme left behind by IBM Symphony | 10:56 |
| kernan | bidossessi when i click places shouldnt i see the drive?? | 10:56 |
| hspaans | mayank: it should be under system -> administration | 10:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hspaans: that made me laugh i really doubt thats true but epiphany keeps giving me segmentation fault | 10:57 |
| mayank | done...but i have 78gb(80gb) before and patitioned it in 2 drives before ubuntu | 10:57 |
| theunixgeek | In other words, mindrape, there are still OOo preferences lying around somewhere | 10:57 |
| mindrape | theunixgeek: look in your ~/.openoffice* folder | 10:57 |
| mayank | now in ubuntu i have only 71gb(working fine)...what about the rest? | 10:57 |
| theunixgeek | I deleted that | 10:57 |
| Zealot12 | Pirate_Hunter: I use Seamonkey, which uses the Mozilla engine I believe, and it seems to use less system resources than most browsers I've tried. And its fast. Just my two cents. | 10:57 |
| hspaans | Pirate_Hunter: let me guess, you are running adobe flash | 10:57 |
| mindrape | well do you know what the file extention is for that theme? locate it and that oughta be a good indicator. | 10:58 |
| Zealot12 | Mind-Rape: I tried that and it says there is nothing in that particular folder | 10:58 |
| theunixgeek | mindrape: not at all | 10:58 |
| bidossessi | kernan, windows and linux don't hadnle drives the same way. linux doesn't care about drives. it cares about partitions, and mount points. you can easily combine two drives under one folder using mount (as sub folders, of course) and mount a drive anywhere | 10:58 |
| Zealot12 | When I type the command again, what it does is just give me the prompt to type another command | 10:58 |
| mindrape | theunixgeek: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=openoffice+theme+file+extention | 10:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hspaans: nope no flash here its a clean install so nope | 10:59 |

| mrwes | mindrape: good idea...a non standard port is smart | 11:37 |
| evowill | yes, but don't use port 22 :-) | 11:37 |
| mrwes | yah I got that part :) | 11:37 |
| o_O[anu] | 256MB RAM is too slow ,Ubuntu amd64 desktop, How much memory is good? | 11:37 |
| mrwes | mindrape: that would be a TCP forwarded connection, right? | 11:37 |
| mindrape | o_O[anu]: memory is so cheap I recommend maxing it out... www.pricewatch.com you can get a gig of pc3200 for like $30 prolly | 11:38 |
| mindrape | mrwes - correctamundo | 11:38 |
| mrwes | heh | 11:38 |
| mrwes | the coffee must be working this morning | 11:38 |
| Melio1 | just got mine | 11:38 |
| Melio1 | finish the cup, i'll be good for a few hours | 11:38 |
| mrwes | yah I put 2gb on my desktop for under a 100 bucks | 11:39 |
| mindrape | o_O[anu]: sudo lshw -C memory to see what you currently have, how many banks, etc. | 11:39 |
| mrwes | |_|? | 11:39 |
| Dof | bonjour | 11:40 |
| evowill | newegg.com has some really good deals on RAM right now. Get plenty, it's cheap | 11:40 |
| mrwes | evowill: that's where I got mine | 11:40 |
| mrwes | newegg roxs | 11:41 |
| Melio1 | evowill, i shop newegg as well | 11:41 |
| Melio1 | but right now everyone is scounging for biz | 11:41 |
| Melio1 | check pricewatch.com | 11:41 |
| Melio1 | and look a the smaller. local shops too | 11:41 |
| mrwes | I got my HDMI cables there, 6ft for under $10 | 11:41 |
| tekemperor | mindrape, with scp, can I mount shares like they are local? (running a windows program from a linux fileserver, etc). | 11:42 |
| Melio1 | i need to convert this partition today | 11:42 |
| Melio1 | i know i can do it in like an hour | 11:42 |
| tekemperor | mindrape, or is it just for transfers? | 11:42 |
| mrwes | tekemperor: you can use PuTTy from a windows machine | 11:42 |
| mindrape | tekemperor: never done that before... I'm sure you can... somehow | 11:43 |
| === zerwas_ is now known as peter4241 | ||
| mrwes | tekemperor: you can use remote desktop | 11:43 |
| Melio1 | tekemperor: you can kinda | 11:43 |
| Melio1 | tekemperor: it's been know that people run world of warcraft from windows partitions on other computers over the network | 11:43 |
| mindrape | tekemperor: http://www.blisstonia.com/eolson/notes/smboverssh.php | 11:43 |
| Melio1 | but it's not as fast as locally achived files | 11:43 |
| Melio1 | obviously | 11:44 |
| evowill | I was tired of hearing my computer run in my bedroom, so I put it in the closet and used HDMI cable into the bedroom. Quietest computer I own :-) | 11:44 |
| Melio1 | ovowill heh | 11:44 |
| Melio1 | i suggested foam as an insulator | 11:44 |
| Melio1 | and that worked very well | 11:44 |
| tekemperor | mindrape, that's pretty much what I was looking for, thanks a lot. | 11:44 |
| mindrape | I suggest blaring Daft Punk 24/7 and you will basically be deaf. | 11:45 |
| mrwes | mindrape: does that make a samba share more secure over the ssh connection? | 11:45 |
| Melio1 | daft punk? | 11:45 |
| evowill | Now I don't hear it at all 0dB | 11:45 |
| Melio1 | try rise against. or antiflag | 11:45 |
| mindrape | mrwes - SSH is far more secure than standard ol' samba. | 11:45 |
| mindrape | nothing is more amazing than Aerodynamic... but I digress /offtopic | 11:45 |
| mrwes | mindrape: I use SSH internally, that is here on my side of the router, never tried it from the outside though | 11:45 |
| Stonehambey | if I update my version of ubuntu to the latest, does it reinstall gnome etc? | 11:46 |
| mindrape | Stonehambey: it will upgrade all components of all installed packages to the latest and greatest. | 11:46 |
| mrwes | The volume keys seem to be working on my multimedia keyboard, when I turn the volume up and down I see a slider bar on the gnome gui, but it's not bound to the master volume it's bound to the headphone volume. Can I change that? | 11:46 |
| Stonehambey | it's just, in my infinite wisdom, I have accidentally uninstalled some gnome components | 11:46 |
| mrwes | heh | 11:47 |
| Stonehambey | and I'm not sure how to get them back | 11:47 |
| mindrape | Stonehambey: you can look in Synaptic for all things gnome* gtk* | 11:47 |
| anu | where to change the mirror | 11:47 |
| grobda24 | I can now boot into Ubuntu on my second HD, but I can't get Grub to boot windows on HD 1 ... here is menu.lst and boot.ini ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/96815/ | 11:47 |
| yianpan71 | xmmm | 11:47 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop | 11:47 |
| Stonehambey | is the command for that "synaptic"? | 11:47 |
| Stonehambey | i tried removing this stupid scrollkeep thing, since it was eating my cpu | 11:48 |
| mindrape | System -> Administration -> Synaptic or probably good ol' synaptic from a commandline oughta work | 11:48 |
| Melio1 | sudo synaptic is better | 11:48 |
| Stonehambey | mindrape: I don't have a system tab :P | 11:48 |
| Melio1 | since your doing admin work | 11:48 |
| anu | mindrape: thank ya | 11:48 |
| mindrape | gksudo is even better | 11:48 |
| Melio1 | sure | 11:48 |
| Stonehambey | I'll try command line | 11:48 |
| Melio1 | man this coffee is good | 11:49 |
| Stonehambey | hmm "couldn't find package gnome desktop" :/ | 11:49 |
| mrwes | isn't gksudo a link to gksu ? | 11:49 |
| Melio1 | good ol columbian | 11:49 |
| levidos | how can i upgrade my kernel to 2.6.27-10 proposed? | 11:50 |
| mrwes | sorry..it's sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 11:50 |
| mindrape | mrwes - lets investigate... pull up a terminal which gksudo ls -alh /path/to/gksudo look for a link | 11:50 |
| Melio1 | happy newyears eve | 11:50 |
| Melio1 | backup your data | 11:50 |
| mrwes | nope..no link | 11:50 |
| mindrape | mrwes - ls -alh /usr/bin/gksudo | 11:50 |
| Stonehambey | mrwes, thanks this seems to be working | 11:50 |
| mindrape | looks to me that it is. | 11:50 |
| mrwes | hrmmm | 11:51 |
| Melio1 | it's been a long time since the ywk bug that never really did anything like everyone thought | 11:51 |
| bullgard4 | /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config is a list of text lines. For example, one line is "CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y". How are all the identifiers such as 'CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK' summarized? Are that 'kernel options'? | 11:51 |
| Melio1 | y2k bug i mean | 11:51 |
| Melio1 | !y2k | 11:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about y2k | 11:51 |
| mrwes | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-11-01 09:18 /usr/bin/gksudo -> gksu | 11:51 |
| mindrape | mrwes - - readlink /usr/bin/gksudo | 11:51 |
| levidos | !intrepid | 11:52 |

| mrwes | so gksudo is linked to gksu | 11:52 |
| mindrape | since gksu is in your path the whole thing doesn't need to be there... so yes, you are right. its a link to gksu. :) | 11:52 |

| evowill | Melio1: because they spent a ton and fixed the critical stuff | 11:52 |
| mrwes | class over..heh | 11:52 |
| tekemperor | grobda24 have you tried map (hd0) (hd1) ... map (hd1) (hd0)? | 11:52 |
| Melio1 | evowill yep | 11:52 |
| Melio1 | kinda like making houses hurricane proof | 11:52 |
| Melio1 | hurricane resistant | 11:52 |
| evowill | oh how much fun it would have been if they didn't even notice :-) | 11:53 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, no ... is that a grub command ? | 11:53 |
| kernan | is it hard to write websites with drupal | 11:53 |
| windwhinny | hellow body,when i try to make kate plugins,the error "Undefined interface automoc4" come out. what can i do?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/96820/ | 11:53 |
| mindrape | kernan: I'd head over to #php or #drupal and ask... "hard" is a relative term. | 11:53 |

| ssdt | hi i am trying to use veoh tv in ubuntu is it possible? | 11:54 |
| bidossessi | kernan, as easy or hard as you are ready to learn drupal programming. | 11:54 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: you might want this too: sudo apt-get install gdm | 11:54 |
| tekemperor | grobda24 each of those map () () gets its own line, it's like swapping the boot order in the bios, but it does it from grub. | 11:54 |
| Stonehambey | thanks, it's currently still doing the ubuntu desktop | 11:54 |
| Stonehambey | what does that do? | 11:54 |
| tekemperor | grobda24, did you try changing the boot order in the bios (that's a better first question). | 11:55 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: or do a fresh installation :) | 11:55 |
| evowill | ssdt: it should work with WINE | 11:55 |
| Stonehambey | mrwes: won't I lose all my files? | 11:55 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, I've already changed the boot order in bios because I lost my windows MBR. So it boots using grub. | 11:55 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: you have a separate /home partition? | 11:55 |
| ssdt | also i wanted to convert, create and split videos, what program should i use? | 11:56 |
| anu | mindrape: i find it >< | 11:56 |
| style | Hello | 11:56 |
| new2ubuntu | is there any 1 i can talk to who is really good with ftp in ubuntu? | 11:56 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: or is everything in one partition? | 11:56 |
| style | How do I start the ircd? | 11:56 |
| amitprakash | err.. i install envyng and upgraded the driver but now the everything looks supersmall and the monitor finds the refresh rate way too high.. how do i fix this? | 11:56 |
| Stonehambey | well I have a /home directory | 11:56 |
| mindrape | new2ubuntu: "Really good"? Sure... in my own mind. | 11:56 |
| mindrape | style - which ircd are you running? I imagine it probably is a service and exists in /etc/init.d/ | 11:57 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, this ? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/map.html .... so I put that in the windows boot section ? | 11:57 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: from a terminal type df and see if /home and on a separate /dev | 11:57 |
| style | mindrape: I am not running one, but I want to. | 11:57 |
| mindrape | !ircd | 11:57 |
| eeboy_ | Do the repositories contain older versions of a given application? | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ircd | 11:57 |
| mrwes | !home | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 11:57 |
| new2ubuntu | i was using windows home server and my ftp was set up using the user rights to set who could access certain folders from the ain ftp root i started using filezilla and found i couldnt do this, can i do it with any ftp server apps available to ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| Stonehambey | mrwes, no it isn't :( | 11:57 |
| evowill | ssdt: handbrake | 11:57 |
| pozic | Does Ubuntu (the desktop edition one can currently download) have support for 4GB of memory in on an x86 processor? | 11:58 |
| mindrape | style - sudo apt-cache search ircd....... pick one. | 11:58 |
| tekemperor | grobda24, you have grub on the MBR of your windows drive? | 11:58 |
| pozic | s/in// | 11:58 |
| style | mindrape: ircd-hybrid | 11:58 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: then yes, a fresh installation would overwrite your files in /home | 11:58 |
| anu | mindrape: im a newuser, shall i install all the updates? | 11:58 |
| Stonehambey | eek | 11:58 |
| mindrape | anu - yes. | 11:58 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, no. It just says "OS not found" if I boot on that drive. | 11:58 |
| Stonehambey | hmm, well everything seems to be working ok, I just have no desktop interface :( | 11:58 |
| tekemperor | And from grub, when you try to chainload, what does it say? | 11:58 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: that's why it's good to have /home on a separate partition | 11:58 |
| Stonehambey | hehe, I'll remember that | 11:59 |
| mindrape | style - well apt-get install then if you wanna configure it I'm sure google has PLENTY of .conf options explained in great detail. | 11:59 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: did you install the server version or desktop? | 11:59 |
| levidos | how can i upgrade my kernel to 2.6.27-10 proposed? | 11:59 |
| Stonehambey | desktop | 11:59 |
| reenignEesreveR | i have given my students a group project (3 students in each group). I have made a unix group for each project group. Now I wanna assign each group a repository so that only its members may access them and none else. How do I do that by using unix's authentication? | 11:59 |
| tekemperor | grobda24, the map thing basically changes the bios setting from grub, so you don't have to constantly go back to the bios. If you can't boot the drive by itself, it won't solve that problem. | 11:59 |
| mindrape | levidos: find a repo w it or just get the .debs and dpkg -i it... I'd google on that though and make sure that its not going to cause you major breakage. | 12:00 |
| Stonehambey | I have just installed ubuntu-desktop, do I need to restart my comp? | 12:00 |
| new2ubuntu | mindrape, i want the ftp users handled by the os so i can set the different folders they can view, as was done in windows, i just installed proftpd and gadmin for it and found it has its own user add settings but can i do it using users added in ubuntu? | 12:00 |
| mindrape | levidos: is there some specific kernel functionality you hope to gain from the upgrade or just want to be bleeding edge for the sake of it? | 12:00 |
| levidos | tnx mindrape | 12:00 |
| evowill | anu: yes you should install all the updates | 12:00 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, ah, OK then :) ... but grub should be able to boot into windows without a bootable partition there, right ? | 12:00 |
| KneeSkrap3r | hey | 12:01 |
| mindrape | new2ubuntu: yes you can... by default proftpd looks to /etc/passwd but it can also use virtualusers. | 12:01 |
| KneeSkrap3r | question on DVD playback: | 12:01 |
| ssdt | also can anyone tell me about how to watch jumptv using vlc player or something in ubuntu? | 12:01 |
| levidos | some bugs are fixed starting with that kernel version | 12:01 |
| juro | hi, I am looking for a webbased Bug/Feature tracking tool (similar to Mantis) but with Web2.0 support | 12:01 |
| KneeSkrap3r | I have followed the steps online, but am unable to decode any DVD properly within Ogle OR Totem | 12:01 |
| evowill | Stonehambey: yes | 12:02 |
| new2ubuntu | im guessing the /etc/passwd is the os users? similar to windows users? then i can set different access rights to the folders? | 12:02 |
| Stonehambey | okies | 12:02 |
| mindrape | new2ubuntu: yes, by default I believe proftpd will let them ftp to their /home/ folder only | 12:02 |
| Stonehambey | ok, this is gonna sound silly | 12:02 |
| evowill | ssdt: google is your friend | 12:02 |
| Stonehambey | but how do I turn off my comp using the command line? | 12:02 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: the windows (DOS) MBR just chainloads the active partition. You can fix the MBR with fdisk /mbr (iirc). | 12:02 |
| mindrape | sudo shutdown -h now | 12:02 |
| Stonehambey | since the desktop off button isn't there anymore :P | 12:02 |
| mindrape | -h for halt -r for reboot | 12:02 |
| KneeSkrap3r | Needing someonw to help with DVD playback | 12:02 |
| KneeSkrap3r | someone* | 12:03 |
| Stonehambey | so I would want -r then? | 12:03 |
| Stonehambey | since I just want to restart it | 12:03 |
| mindrape | sure. | 12:03 |
| mindrape | I believe you can also just sudo restart | 12:03 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: try the mapping (it's like what you showed me without the "grub>" and goes right after root (hd1,0). | 12:03 |
| new2ubuntu | oh ok wow this is sounding great well ill try all that and come back if im stuck | 12:03 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: three finger salute works too | 12:03 |
| evowill | stonehambey yes | 12:03 |
| new2ubuntu | mindrape, is these kind of settings better done with out using gadmin | 12:04 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, fdisk in Linux ? Do I even need to though. I think my grub drive notation is wrong. Should the windows drive not be (hd2,0) .. that's ***2***. I think I have loading nthe second partition on the ***FIRST*** HD when it should be the first, primary. | 12:04 |
| mindrape | new2ubuntu: I've never used gadmin so I can't speak to its benefits or drawbacks... | 12:04 |
| anu | mindrape >- i want to develop software | 12:04 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: actually in the menu.lst you don't need the "boot" line at all. | 12:04 |
| mindrape | anu - what kind of software? | 12:04 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about eepc | 12:07 |
| evowill | hothollas: what problems are you having? | 12:07 |
| anu | ?eepc | 12:07 |
| mindrape | anu - I've never done that type of development before. | 12:07 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: windows is your second disk now right? Did you change the boot.ini, or is that how it was? (you'd get an ntldr error if it got that far and was wrong). | 12:07 |
| mindrape | anu - if you wanna do web development I recommend PHP or perl. If you wanna do linux development probably Python. | 12:08 |
| hothollas | evowill: the web cam, how do I enable it?, also, is it a good idea to have a dual boot? | 12:08 |
| evowill | hothollas: I used the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 12:08 |
| evowill | hothollas: I did the dual boot, but booting from the memory card | 12:08 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, thanks .. just trying something now | 12:08 |
| anu | mindrape >- i can't develop C/C++? | 12:08 |
| anu | in | 12:08 |
| evowill | hothollas: but it was dual boot xubuntu, and the notebook remix | 12:08 |
| mindrape | anu - surely you can pick any language you want. | 12:08 |
| hothollas | evowill: do you think that new years release will be worth it? | 12:09 |
| hothollas | evowill: thanks for the link | 12:09 |
| evowill | htohollas: every new release is worth it, is it worth it to wait, naa, I would go ahead and install now | 12:09 |
| anu | mindrape >- i like algorithms | 12:09 |
| dc2447 | I am seeing SetGrabKeysState enabled SetGrabKeysState disabled over and over agin in my xorg logs on hardy - any pointers? | 12:09 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, I think it may actually be booting. I get "Starting up ...". Is'nt that a Windows XP message ? | 12:09 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: I think the boot.ini is wrong still, but I'll get to that in a minute. | 12:09 |
| evowill | hothollas: I really do like the notebook remix though | 12:09 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: I'm not sure how windows does it's numbering. | 12:10 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, ok ... | 12:10 |
| Stonehambey | mrwes, should I consider putting /home on a separate partition? | 12:10 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: I would and do | 12:10 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: I always do a fresh install vs. upgrading | 12:10 |
| evowill | hothollas: netbook remix, not notebook remix :-) | 12:11 |
| Stonehambey | mrwes, cool, how would I go about doing that? Shall I gogole it? | 12:11 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: goggle and read up on it and make your own choice | 12:11 |
| mrwes | :) | 12:11 |
| mrwes | http://www.googlubuntu.com/ | 12:11 |
| bullgard4 | /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config is a list of text lines. For example, one line is "CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y". How are all the identifiers such as 'CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK' summarized? Are that 'kernel options'? | 12:13 |
| ndlovu | what is the command for searching within files for a specific string? | 12:13 |
| mindrape | grep "string" /over/here/* | 12:13 |
| scizzo- | anyone knows why the Win key on the keyboard works on the right side of the keyboard but the left side win key is not registered as <Super> key? | 12:13 |
| anu | ????? | 12:14 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: My bad, the boot.ini is right, did anything else happen? | 12:14 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: there is a lot of good guides here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ to including partitioning | 12:14 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, no, apart from I tried setting (hd2,0) anyway. Of course it said "drive does not exist". | 12:14 |
| Slart | scizzo-: you can change the behavious of any "special" keys in system, preferences somewhere... | 12:14 |
| sixforty | how can I retrieve stored pop and stmp passwords from evolution for use in another client? | 12:15 |
| anu | mindrape >- i like Open Source, GNU, C++, algorithms | 12:15 |
| mindrape | anu - thats great. You should continue to pursue that. | 12:15 |
| anu | mindrape >- where can i find my league | 12:15 |
| Slart | scizzo-: system, preferences, keyboard, second tab "Layouts", button "Other options..." | 12:15 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: is this IDE, or SATA? | 12:16 |
| ndlovu | mindrape, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for | 12:16 |
| mindrape | np | 12:16 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, SATS | 12:16 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, SATA | 12:16 |
| evowill | ndlovu: regexxer is a GUI that will search/replace within files | 12:18 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: I think for boot.ini that changes disk and rdisk, but I've never modified that. | 12:18 |
| scizzo- | Slart: not following still why right win works but not left win | 12:18 |
| Stonehambey | mrwes: thanks :) | 12:18 |
| mrwes | Stonehambey: sure.... I try to share what little I know :) | 12:19 |
| Slart | scizzo-: they are different keys.. and can be mapped to do different things | 12:20 |
| grobda24 | tekemperor, yes, rdisk was "0", I changed it to "1". | 12:20 |
| scizzo- | Slart: yes I understand that | 12:20 |
| levidos | omg, my logs are 8 GB. can i simply delete them? | 12:20 |
| scizzo- | Slart: however default the win on left and win och right should be mapped to use <Super> both of them am I wrong? | 12:20 |
| style | How do I leave a manpage? | 12:20 |
| Slart | levidos: yes | 12:20 |
| evowill | levidos: yes | 12:20 |
| mindrape | style - q | 12:20 |
| scizzo- | Slart: and if so......shouldn't both left and right win key work for doing example <Super>e when mapped to nautilus or the like? | 12:21 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: what I mean is I think disk goes up, not rdisk for SATA. the way you have it for IDE (I'm assuming XP deals with SATA like SCSI because linux does). | 12:21 |
| Slart | scizzo-: I'm not sure what the default should be.. all those super/meta/whatever keys still confuse me | 12:21 |
| scizzo- | Slart: well I mapped with the left key but it does not start it.....however if I use right key it works | 12:21 |
| Slart | scizzo-: that does sound weird. | 12:22 |

| style | for a daemon? | 12:23 |
| tekemperor | grobda24: That would be a guess, want to move this to a private chat so I don't feel like we are wasting valuable typing space? | 12:23 |
| mindrape | style - usually in /etc/ | 12:23 |

| grobda24 | tekemperor, ok | 12:24 |
| anu | mindrape >- everyone talking "Python" , is it that good? | 12:24 |
| mindrape | anu - try it out and see... #python | 12:24 |
| === callum is now known as calrogman | ||
| scizzo- | mindrape: well that does not explain the problem with the right and left key working and not working | 12:26 |
| mindrape | style - keep in mind once you make a configuration change to a daemon you need to restart it or kill -HUP its PID to force the new config to take. | 12:26 |
| anu | mindrape >- there are only 4 people in the channel of ##python | 12:26 |
| Slart | anu: about 600 in #python | 12:27 |

| Squizmek_ | I have problems running ubuntu 64bit on my new laptop with intel duo core and Nvidia 9650M. Ubuntu installed fine but when I boot, I first get alot of annoying beeps and then some flickering stripes | 14:11 |
| WAR1 | am install c++ by following step on the forum in ternimal " sudo apt .... sudo apt .... install " but where found a compiler or how use it | 14:11 |
| The-Compiler | WAR1: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 14:11 |
| The-Compiler | WAR1: then it should be c++ | 14:12 |
| WAR1 | i did this | 14:12 |
| WAR1 | but now how open compiler | 14:12 |
| The-Compiler | WAR1: just use "c++" in the terminal I think | 14:12 |
| WAR1 | how | 14:13 |
| The-Compiler | WAR1: c++ blah.cpp | 14:13 |
| The-Compiler | I think | 14:13 |
| magical | WAR1, the command is gcc | 14:13 |
| The-Compiler | magical: also for c++` | 14:13 |
| magical | yeah, think it works with both | 14:13 |
| heath|work | Anyone have any clue why when I bring up br0 with bridge_ports eth0, eth0 is still receiving an IP via DHCP | 14:13 |
| magical | The-Compiler, if not, use the command g++ | 14:14 |
| magical | which I think is just another alias for gcc, but prolly targetted towards c++ I guess | 14:14 |
| heath|work | Squizmek_, that sounds cool | 14:14 |

| Funzo | but linux has worked after that a long time though | 14:25 |
| stefg | Funzo: and you restored the boot loader... so everything worked , it's not the windows install that broke everything ? | 14:26 |

| daw | I have an intel mobile graphics chip. I'm looking for pre-compiled up-to-date modules for Intrepid. Anyone know where i can get what I need? | 15:18 |
| mrbean | gavi: OK | 15:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Slart: in Jaunty there is :P | 15:18 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: hmm.. wonder if it might be usable on intrepid.. | 15:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Slart: it might be | 15:19 |
| gavi | fosco_, do u have more information for me? | 15:19 |
| kolby | for some reason, anytime I want to access the internet on my laptop I have to clear my ip tables. | 15:19 |
| josher4 | Ok, I have a 250Gb external Drive. Currently, it is acting up and windows wont recognize it (To explore it and move files and such). I have had problems with ubuntu and have repartitioned the drive many times. I am wondering how to get it wiped and recognized by windows again . Thx... | 15:19 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: can't really see why it would have a lot of dependencies besides firefox | 15:19 |
| evowill | !etiquette daw | 15:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about etiquette daw | 15:19 |
| HenryHeron | Hi, nutty question, but I just upgraded to 8.10 & cannot configure kppp to dial, etc., for me so I am using wvdial, which works, but do not know the command to hang up. Any one know? Thanks. | 15:19 |
| onetinsoldier | Slart: if you download it manually, it's just one file. i would tend to think it'd be useable in 8.10 | 15:20 |
| gavi | and regarding the restricted driver.. when i install it, than the desktop resolution gets SMALLER than what it was... i think 1024x768 | 15:20 |
| mrbean | josher4: I think you wanna use gparted | 15:20 |
| onetinsoldier | Slart: can you accept DCC sends? | 15:20 |
| evowill | !spam daw | 15:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about spam daw | 15:20 |
| gavi | now its uninstalled and after a clean ubuntu install my resolution was much higher | 15:20 |
| evowill | !spam > daw | 15:20 |
| ubottu | daw, please see my private message | 15:20 |
| fosco_ | gavi: if you use a 64bits system you can try the new flash64 plugin, it gives better results for me | 15:20 |
| gavi | fosco_, nope... 32bits | 15:21 |
| RainCT | hi | 15:21 |
| josher4 | Ok, mrbean. I am new to the whole partitioning and linux stuff so help would be nice. | 15:21 |
| onetinsoldier | Slart: ahh, nvm. i think you can just download it from packages.ubunutu.com | 15:21 |
| kolby | I have to run "iptables -F ; iptables -X ; iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT" | 15:21 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: man wvdial? :P | 15:21 |
| onetinsoldier | ooops, packages.ubuntu.com | 15:21 |
| kolby | if I don't run that, I can't even ping my router | 15:22 |
| HenryHeron | mrbean Minus the question mark I take it? | 15:22 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: that'll show you the manual (man) page for the program, you should be able to find your answer there | 15:22 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: yes, without the question mark | 15:23 |
| HenryHeron | mrbean thanks, I will do this. | 15:23 |
| Dwita_B16 | please, how can i get ibex? | 15:23 |
| Dwita_B16 | i mean ubuntu 8.10 | 15:23 |
| RainCT | Can someone help me? I've tried grup2 (grup-pc) but after rebooting it gave "Error 11" and now I can't get it working again... Installed grup (1) again, removed /boot/grub creating a new one with grub-install and copied the old menu.lst (http://paste.ubuntu.com/96956/) into it, etc.. but there's no way.. :S | 15:23 |
| josher4 | Go to the www.ubuntu.com website and click to the desktop version ( I assune your not using a server) and then download it. | 15:24 |
| Rabbitbunny | how can you follow the instruction to get to irc... but not figure out an iso? | 15:25 |
| amorphous | does anybody know what would make Firefox jump directly to the end of the page instead of pg-dn-ing? | 15:25 |
| josher4 | After that, burn the iso image to a disk (Most likely using a 3rd party program). | 15:25 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: I just looked at the man page for you, and it's not very clear what you're supposed to do, but the command is control+C (exit) | 15:25 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: i doubt they realize you're talking to them. try highlighting? | 15:25 |
| josher4 | Sorry, I am very new to all of this | 15:26 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: wow.. I decided to just install it directly from adobe.. it was surprisingly easy.. | 15:26 |
| RainCT | (using the entry from line 140 gives "Error 23: Error while parsing number" instead of "Error 11: Unrecognized device string") | 15:26 |
| mrbean | amorphous: End button? | 15:27 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: it's real easy, type the first few letter of their name and hit tab. | 15:27 |
| josher4 | K, thanks | 15:27 |
| josher4 | Ok, I have a 250Gb external Drive. Currently, it is acting up and windows wont recognize it (To explore it and move files and such). I have had problems with ubuntu and have repartitioned the drive many times. I am wondering how to get it wiped and recognized by windows again . Thx... | 15:28 |
| Stonekeeper | hi. does networkmanager use wpa_supplicant? If so, where does it store the wpa_supplicant.conf file? I can't find it anywhere? thanks! | 15:28 |
| mrbean | josher4: again, you need to use a partitioner program (gparted) | 15:29 |
| josher4 | mrbean: I know, how do I use it? | 15:29 |
| josher4 | mrbean: I am vernew to al this... | 15:29 |
| josher4 | very new* | 15:29 |
| mrbean | josher4: sudo apt-get install gparted, then run it either from alt+f2 or from the System menu | 15:29 |
| wmr | how to translate ubuntu? | 15:29 |
| josher4 | hm.... | 15:30 |
| RainCT | wmr: contact the translation team for your language | 15:30 |
| wmr | how to? | 15:30 |
| Pizik_afk | You sure do get some interesting questions in here ;o) | 15:30 |
| josher4 | mrbean: The installation is bugged | 15:30 |
| mrbean | josher4: from there it's very easy to use, it's a nice graphical interface showing you all partitions. Basically you want to wipe everything, probably to a single NTFS partition | 15:30 |
| RainCT | josher4: if it's formatted as ext3, I think there's some application to get it to work on Windows | 15:30 |
| mrbean | josher4: what do you mean? the program will not run? | 15:31 |
| josher4 | mrbean: I mean, my installation does not work. Should I use the live CD? | 15:31 |
| Pizik_afk | RainCT: There is an ext2/3 driver for WinXP | 15:31 |
| mrbean | josher4: oh, in that case yes, check out the gparted livecd, it's great | 15:31 |
| mrbean | josher4: I'd recommend plugging in your drive before starting up your PC with the disc | 15:32 |
| josher4 | mrbean: Where can I find it on the disk? | 15:32 |
| heath|work | ubuntu rules | 15:32 |
| RainCT | anyone knows how to get grub to work (see above)? | 15:33 |
| mrbean | josher4:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 15:33 |
| krzaczor93 | how can i download wine? if i use sudo apt-get install wine ,ubuntu is downloading 32bit version ,but my system is 64bit version :/ | 15:33 |
| heath|work | RainCT, for windows you can get neogrub | 15:33 |
| mrbean | josher4: download the ISO (it's small) and burn it to a CD, use the CD to start your computer | 15:33 |
| RainCT | krzaczor93: there's no 64bit wine.. that one which apt-get installs should work fine | 15:34 |
| josher4 | mrbean: The ISO of gparted? | 15:34 |
| Rabbitbunny | krzaczor93: synaptic. | 15:34 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: quit bothering with that. you have the Ubuntu live cd right? | 15:34 |
| RainCT | heath|work: When did I say I use such crap? :P. The problem is that after trying out grub2 I can't boot anymore, getting either error 11 or error 23.. :S | 15:35 |
| mrbean | josher4: yes, gparted has its own Live CD (not to be confused with the Ubuntu Live CD). Go to that website, download the .iso file, burn it to a disc with something like Brasero or K3B | 15:35 |
| Rabbitbunny | you can boot that, apt-get gparted in ten socands and be done... | 15:35 |
| Rabbitbunny | seconds.. | 15:35 |
| josher4 | Wait | 15:35 |
| josher4 | Where is this typed in? | 15:35 |
| amorphous | mrbean - sorry, was in google... how dyou mean, End Button? My prob is, when i press pg-dn, firefox goes directly tot he end of the page and doesn't page down. | 15:36 |
| RainCT | gparted is installed by default in the Ubuntu's LiveCD | 15:36 |
| jing1 | hello everyone | 15:36 |
| josher4 | ok, where do I type in this command or find it??? | 15:36 |
| mrbean | mrbean: there's a button on your keyboard labeled "End" no? | 15:36 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: press alt+f2 | 15:36 |
| josher4 | ok | 15:36 |
| josher4 | one sec | 15:36 |
| mrbean | amorphous: there's a button on your keyboard labeled "End" no? | 15:37 |
| amorphous | mrbean - yes...? | 15:37 |
| mrbean | amorphous: press it | 15:37 |
| RainCT | josher4: if you are on a LiveCD, System -> Admin. -> Partition Editor | 15:37 |
| amorphous | it takes me to the end of the page, mrbean | 15:37 |
| loz | hello all, happy new year in t minus 8 1/2 hours, give or take! | 15:38 |
| mrbean | amorphous: Oh, I see your trouble...BOTH pg-down and End send you to the bottom of the page | 15:38 |
| amorphous | a bit like the page-down button does - only the page down button should (i think) only take me down a page..? | 15:38 |
| amorphous | mrbean - Aye | 15:38 |
| RainCT | amorphous: I suppose the page is long enough so that there's more than one scroll possibility for pg. down? (eg, Try if the same happens on https://wiki.ubuntu.com) | 15:38 |
| jim_p | hello people | 15:38 |
| amorphous | RainCT, yeas | 15:38 |
| mrbean | amorphous: I have no idea why that would happen, both buttons do what they're supposed to on my keyboard <_< | 15:39 |
| RainCT | amorphous: and it only happens on Firefox? | 15:39 |
| krazed | Man.. ubuntu is ridiculious. | 15:39 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: I am on the main screen that pops up when you insert the 8.10 disk | 15:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !OT > krazed | 15:39 |

| Rabbitbunny | josher4: click "run" or something, the top one. | 15:39 |
| amorphous | RainCT, yeah :( and i can't find much at all that's relevant :/ | 15:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | krazed, We appreciate your enthusiasm | 15:40 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Try ubuntu without any changes? | 15:40 |
| HenryHeron | mrbean I checked the wvdial manual: NO commands for hanging up a connect! ???? | 15:40 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: there we go, that one. | 15:40 |
| RainCT | HenryHeron: kill it :P | 15:40 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: yes, I'm sorry...I thought the man page would have the answer for you...it's control+C | 15:40 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Ok, gimie a sec for it to load... | 15:41 |
| loz | I would like to know if any can help me with a "slow system" issue, i have a fairly new computer, amd 64 dual core 4400 , decent graphic card etc, but the whole system is going really screwy over the last few weeks, programs hanging, really slow firefox, even though my connection speed is really good, anybodys direction would be apreciated... | 15:41 |
| amorphous | RainCT, and it doesn't happen anywhere else - just FF | 15:41 |
| jim_p | a few seconds ago the most bizarre thing happened. some friend send me a url of a .iso though msn protocol and pidgin. i clicked it assuming it will open firefox and it will start downloading. but it opened k3b and it tried saving it to /tmp and then recording it to the drive! | 15:41 |
| HenryHeron | mrbean I tried control+C no good. | 15:41 |
| Rabbitbunny | jim_p: it's saving you a step. | 15:41 |
| jim_p | why did it do that? last time it opened an image in eog the same way | 15:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | loz, Are you using 64 or 32 bit os | 15:41 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: you're pressing the control key, then the C key right? no plus (+) sign...just checking | 15:41 |
| jim_p | Rabbitbunny, lol. i need to mdsum it first and test it in vbox | 15:42 |
| HenryHeron | mrbean yes, that's correct. | 15:42 |
| RainCT | HenryHeron: Ctrl+C, or if you don't have the window anymore (you can get it into the background with Ctrl+Z and then bg ) find it with "ps xa | grep wvdial" and then use "kill XX" where XX is the number of the process | 15:42 |
| Rabbitbunny | RainCT: ax? | 15:42 |
| mrbean | HenryHeron: even simpler, you can actually use top | grep wvdial to find the PID | 15:43 |
| loz | Jack_Sparrow, i am using the 64 bit OS, latest intrepid | 15:43 |
| HenryHeron | RainCT Ok I'll try, but if I don't come back, you'll know it worked. :) | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | loz, and have you tried turning off effects, and what all have you installed manually or from outside repos | 15:43 |

| caeroe | instead of going to hibernate/suspend i just get a blinking cursor, and have to power down. this is on 8.10 x64, was working fine in 8.04 | 15:51 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: just wait until it pops up with a promt in that litle black window. | 15:51 |
| caeroe | i added Option "NvAGP" "1" to xorg.conf, it still never suspends or hibernates, but when i booted up this time it said 'resuming' or whatever | 15:52 |

| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Because my internal is only 40 GB | 16:00 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: Right... so is mine. | 16:01 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: And upgrading that is beyond what I wish to do | 16:01 |
| MAXI-MUM | i have a problem i can make X start after memory upgrade to 4gb my vista works fine and bios and visa sees it 3.3 GB but works n linux it boots but x server dont start plz help i have intel 945 chipset | 16:01 |

| Jack_Sparrow | waseidel, Understood, but even if that other channel is slow, that is only due to the number of users with that hardware | 16:02 |
| waseidel | may be that Jack_Sparrow | 16:03 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: it's a virtual box, quite literally, your ubuntu will let windows run on top of it by lying quite well and telling windows it's running on real hardware. It's great because you can; copy boxen, install the iffy software you though about... evenn maybe try *BSD. | 16:03 |
| waseidel | thnkz Jack_Sparrow | 16:03 |

| MrFlowerR | Hello | 16:09 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: kinda. they're installed on the main, but to start the virtual boxes you start up virtualbox-ose, which will give you sort of a contral panel, you click on the tab/virtualbox you want to start, and click go. | 16:09 |
| josher4 | oooo | 16:10 |

| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: XD, ill look into that | 16:11 |
| Extend | any idea | 16:11 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Anyways, sohuld I create a full NTFS you think? | 16:11 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: should* | 16:11 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: yeah, linux does quite well with ntfs, whereas windows does quite badly with ext3 | 16:12 |

| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Ok, just to be 100% sure, I delete EVERYTHING that I see in the window (With the exception of free space)?? | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rabbitbunny, please clarify... you dont install ubuntu on an ntfs partition | 16:13 |

| noamsml | I'm curious. Has glibc been updated to account for the 2008 leap second? | 16:14 |
| gorlak | is it even possible to install ubuntu on a ntfs drive? and use ntfs instead of ext3??/ | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rabbitbunny, read and write ntfs fine but not for holding the ubuntu os | 16:14 |
| tvaughn | what would quicktime be called in ubuntu 8.10 package repisotories | 16:14 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: yes, assuming you don't want that data anymore. | 16:14 |
| Rabbitbunny | Jack_Sparrow: Right. | 16:14 |
| gorlak | ah | 16:14 |
| noamsml | gorlak: Why would you? | 16:14 |
| Rabbitbunny | tvaughn: it think it's in those gstreamer packages. | 16:15 |
| tvaughn | thanks | 16:15 |
| gorlak | no practical reason, curiousity, i have used ntfs drives before, simple curiousity | 16:15 |

| levidos | hello. acpi -b gives me bullshit. what should i do? | 16:15 |

| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: It doesnt give me the option to | 16:16 |
| Rabbitbunny | option to what? | 16:16 |
| gorlak | i had a 700 gig that was prior ntfs, that i didnt bother changing over when it went from being a ms to ubuntu machine for the longest time. | 16:16 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Delete the partitions | 16:16 |
| zanberdo | sorry, I should have qualified my question. I mean to ask: how can I determine the specific model of my processor? | 16:16 |
| Rabbitbunny | gorlak: that's how my 1tb is. | 16:16 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: Yes it does. | 16:16 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: It is grayed out | 16:16 |
| zanberdo | I know I've got a core2duo installed | 16:17 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: click on one in the list. | 16:17 |
| zanberdo | I'd like to know the specific model | 16:17 |
| gorlak | still is? not going to change it to ext3 or something else? | 16:17 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: I did | 16:17 |
| Rabbitbunny | gorlak: nope, sometimes I take it with me. I ext3'd it for about twoo week before I lost the files. | 16:17 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: pick one lower on the list. | 16:17 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Same | 16:18 |
| Rabbitbunny | ...permissions? | 16:18 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Ugh... | 16:18 |
| Rabbitbunny | or does livecd mount ro? | 16:18 |
| josher4 | It has keys next to them | 16:18 |
| gorlak | i see, for compatibility reasons, i had the 700 as external WD drive, however i dismantled it, and stuck the sata drive inside my server, after that no need for ntfs so i shuffled data around till i could move everything off it, and redid it in ext3, | 16:19 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: are the partitions mounted? look at the desktop. | 16:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | gorlak, Did you install with wubi for that first install | 16:19 |
| Rabbitbunny | gorlak: Ah, I run old hardware, no sata. | 16:20 |
| gorlak | the sever is a complete ubuntu, 8.04 | 16:20 |

| levidos | acpi -b shows me that my battery level is 100%, but it's not... what can i do in this case? | 16:22 |
| zanberdo | Jack_Sparrow: ok, that is certainly one way. Given that this is a 64-bit cpu, if I wanted to install the 64-bit kernel, would I install the amd64 version? that doesn't sound right to me as it's intel... | 16:22 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: The other two I cant | 16:22 |
| gorlak | jack_sparrow, the switch from ms to ubuntu did not use the wubi, i just built a small server had ms on it for about a week, then did a clean install of ubuntu once the 8.04 came out | 16:22 |
| Rabbitbunny | josher4: are they mounted? | 16:22 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Retrying | 16:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zanberdo, We try to encourage new users to stick with 32 bit until they get a better understanding of ubuntu/linux | 16:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zanberdo, there is little advantage with 64 unless you really need to access more than 4 gigs of ram | 16:23 |

| Rabbitbunny | josher4: alll the partitions on the external right? you kinda need the internal mounted. | 16:24 |
| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: Now what? | 16:24 |
| levidos | i really like johnny depp,,, it;s one of my favorite actors :D | 16:24 |

| Jack_Sparrow | gorlak, No.. it wont | 16:24 |
| Rabbitbunny | gorlak: not even close. | 16:24 |
| zanberdo | Jack_Sparrow: right, I understand this. but my question remains the same: where I to want to install the 64-bit version of ubuntu on my intel core2duo (assuming I had a reason to), would I download and install from the -amd64.iso or is there another avenue for intel 64? | 16:25 |
| zanberdo | s/where/were | 16:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zanberdo, yes amd | 16:25 |
| gorlak | i have never run ubuntu on ntfs, the 700 gig data drive was ntfs but it wasnt running the os, just storage, | 16:25 |

| josher4 | Rabbitbunny: I found out what was the problem :D . It was the swap file. | 16:28 |
| DaveIngram | I have downloaded a driver that is said to be compatible with my Video Card, but I can't figure out how to install it :/ | 16:28 |

| Mallen_ | quick question, Ubuntu is a part of (Redhat, Debian or Gentoo, or compelty seperate? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | Mallen_: seperate | 18:34 |
| buddykaru | hop-frog: rebooting didn't work ...let me try installing vlc | 18:34 |
| bazhang | Mallen_, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:34 |

| mojo | hi everyone | 18:35 |
| ikonia | no problem | 18:35 |
| mojo | can I ask some question about Xubuntu here? | 18:35 |
| hop-frog | mojo: ask | 18:35 |
| Cadman21 | I'm running ubuntu 8.10 on a Hp pavilion laptop and it has a port where I can place an different memory cards in like SD and xD. it works when I use an SD card but not with a xD card. can anyone help me? | 18:35 |
| ikonia | mojo: sure, here or/and #xubuntu | 18:35 |
| Benjamint | bazhang: I tried installing drivers using ndisgtk | 18:35 |
| Benjamint | I believe that was the link you sent me, no? | 18:35 |
| Mallen_ | Ok now a support question, Im trying to install electric sheep and the only options are for the mentioned above distros | 18:36 |
| Mallen_ | could i just use the Debian apt-get code and install it | 18:36 |
| mojo | my Xubunt 8.10 after the update yesterday lost sound, even though the device is regconized properly in dmesg, any suggestion how to debug this? | 18:36 |
| manning_ | ok, so i found that it's mounting /dev/sda1, how would i mount /dev/sda1 at disk manually? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | Mallen_: debian is the cloestst, | 18:36 |
| Odd-rationale | Mallen_: choose the .deb package... | 18:36 |
| erisco | when installing a deb package the supersedes the version of a program installed through apt, should I uninstall with apt first? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | Mallen_: but that doesn't mean it will work | 18:36 |
| Mallen_ | ok | 18:36 |
| Mallen_ | worth a try | 18:36 |
| bazhang | Benjamint, well you need to install ndisgtk | 18:36 |
| manning_ | sudo mount disk /dev/sda1 returns special device disk doesn not exist | 18:36 |
| bazhang | Benjamint, if you did not install it, then no you didnt use it | 18:36 |
| ikonia | Mallen_: what command are you using ? | 18:37 |
| ikonia | Mallen_: sorry, not you | 18:37 |
| erisco | anyone? :) | 18:37 |
| ikonia | manning_: what command are you using | 18:37 |
| Odd-rationale | erisco: i don't think you have to... you would be upgradine the package. | 18:37 |
| erisco | Odd-rationale, okay | 18:37 |
| ikonia | erisco: saying anyone is pointless | 18:37 |
| erisco | ikonia, sure is | 18:37 |
| game | How can I change hostname? | 18:37 |
| manning_ | 'sudo mount disk /dev/sda1' -- it returns 'special device disk does not exist' | 18:37 |
| Benjamint | bazhang: I did install it. | 18:37 |
| ikonia | manning_: thats not the right command | 18:38 |
| game | Have two pcs on this LAN with same hostname and think it's causing problems. | 18:38 |
| onetinsoldier | erisco: not exactly sure what you're asking 100%, but i think the answer is, no. if you're going to use a .deb file, then use it. no need to use apt first | 18:38 |
| bazhang | !hostname > game | 18:38 |
| ubottu | game, please see my private message | 18:38 |
| ikonia | manning_: it's mount $disk_device $mount_point | 18:38 |
| Benjamint | bazhang: Even with that and the Windows XP drivers installed, wlan0 does not appear. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | manning_: man mount shows you the mount option | 18:38 |
| locohost | yeah, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/blah | 18:38 |
| bazhang | Benjamint, well you may wish to try a different version of the driver (ie other than xp), but that chipset seems not be well supported | 18:39 |
| manning_ | i tried it that way too ('mount /dev/sda1 disk') and it says 'fuse: failed to access mountpoint disk: No such file or directory' | 18:39 |
| ikonia | manning_: disk is not a mount point | 18:39 |
| erUSUL | manning_: a mount point must be a directory | 18:39 |
| ikonia | manning_: where do you want to mount it | 18:39 |

| locohost | you need to "sudo mkdir /mnt/disk" | 18:39 |
| locohost | or, that | 18:39 |
| onetinsoldier | erisco: what version is the highest? the version through apt? or the .deb file? | 18:40 |

| frostburn | conrad_, in a second terminal run the command: sudo tcpdump -i eth0 host 192.168.10.10 and change the host ip to your destination box, it won't say much because the packets are encrypted, but you'll be able to see if there's any traffic between the two | 19:24 |

| Melio1 | W3WWWWWWWWWWWWWW: find a sound card that's compatable with linux, and get a mic that works with your sound card | 19:34 |
| hop-frog | refefer: vim probably just takes a while to open it. Try disabling stuff like syntax highlighting | 19:34 |
| Fezzler | I need to do a quick animation. OpenOffice slide too simple. Blender too complex. Something in between? | 19:34 |
| W3WWWWWWWWWWWWWW | Melio1, my mic has worked fine in the past | 19:34 |
| W3WWWWWWWWWWWWWW | just fine | 19:34 |
| MikeHbuntu | Melio1, i believe you are barking up the wrong tree; perhaps he is curious how to set the mixer to record from an already working card? | 19:34 |
| refefer | hop-frog: it claims that it's openning a new file | 19:34 |
| refefer | syntax hilighting is off | 19:34 |
| hop-frog | refefer: what are you doing? | 19:34 |
| Melio1 | MikeHbuntu: possibly. but with sound cards, if the mic works, and the sound card is compatable. everything works fine | 19:35 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ac3_0f_spad3s, if it is part of a headset, I am not sure you can | 19:45 |
| ikonia | shadfc: what cameras are they, are they formated with a camera file system ? | 19:45 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | in that case how do i get the bluetooth headset mic to work in the first place so i dont have to use this separate mic? | 19:46 |

| khakane | anyone ever seen k/ubuntu when its booting and you see the k/ubuntu boot screen, where it just hangs? if you move mouse, or hit a button on keyboard it keeps going | 19:57 |
| hop-frog | duffydack: really just depends on your hardware. On my macbook it's painfree | 19:58 |
| Kata | MikeHbuntu i have a dell inspiron E1405, and everyone says it should work fine with hardy heron.....but not finding it to be the case | 19:58 |
| _2 | Jack_Sparrow any idea how to save power on a tosheba satalite ? | 19:58 |
| khakane | sometimes will hang 2-3 times while booting or shutting down, but it runs fine when its booted | 19:58 |
| jadedoto | dexi: what sort of error are you getting? | 19:58 |
| MikeHbuntu | duffydack, i dunno, i have rather good experience with my atheros chipset on my mac.. *ymmv | 19:58 |
| duffydack | yeah i know... but im not buying another just because linux cant keep up | 19:58 |
| duffydack | thankfully i can use wired. | 19:58 |

| duffydack | yes i know.. but everyone already knows they wont do jack for linux so its upto the devs to handle it.. | 19:59 |
| dexi | jadedoto: nothing, it just doesnt recognize the other drive is there... as if i had taken it out or something. Which i know isnt the case because i was using windows 5 minutes ago | 19:59 |
| adie_986 | i conect modem and recognized as mediatech mt2667 but it doens,t work in ubuntu 8.10 why | 19:59 |
| adie_986 | ? | 19:59 |
| duffydack | its a moot subject anyway.. | 20:00 |
| jadedoto | dexi: go to a command line and type in "sudo fdisk -l" and see if the drive is listed there | 20:00 |
| hop-frog | Robin: can't you do that in pidgin? | 20:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, unclean window unmount.. force it or go into windows and properly exit,, sometimes it has to be done twice | 20:00 |
| johnyblue | in tasksel LAMP is already selected | 20:00 |
| MikeHbuntu | Kata, is the network showing up in the tray widget (networkmanager) ? | 20:00 |
| duffydack | johnyblue: is apache/php/mysql | 20:00 |
| joejc | what do i need to install a deb file with the gui? | 20:00 |
| Robin | hop-frog, I want to extract the messages and use them as commands to certain application | 20:00 |
| duffydack | odd that lamp is selected if its not installed. | 20:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joejc, is it a deb for ubuntu or a generic debian deb.. double click usually works | 20:01 |
| onetinsoldier | joejc: gdebi... try --> sudo gdebi | 20:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnyblue, How did you install lamp | 20:01 |
| duffydack | joejc: double click it | 20:01 |
| onetinsoldier | joejc: sorry... i mean --> gksu --> gdebi | 20:01 |
| dexi | jadedoto: its in there, Jack_Sparrow okay that actually sounds familiar... before i do that, do you guys know if i can get rid of my old grub options... i have multiples since the upgrade from hardy | 20:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, easy to edit grub/menu.lst | 20:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:02 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier have you any clue for me, as to prolonging battery life in a tosheba satalite A136 | 20:02 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: thanks. they are both named the same though, does it matter which one? | 20:02 |
| jadedoto | dexi: did you improperly shutdown the drive? like forcing windows off last time you were in it? If you did, you may have to manually mount the drive with something like "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/XXX /mount-point -o force" | 20:03 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: no idea... sorry | 20:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, I would need to see it to be sure.. Please dont paste into the channel, use our pastebin | 20:03 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier k. | 20:03 |
| anon6989 | hello | 20:03 |
| jadedoto | dexi: where /dev/XXX is the partition (like /dev/hda1) and /mount-point is the mount point like /media/disk | 20:03 |
| onetinsoldier | joejc: ok, just found out it's --> sudo gdebi-gtk | 20:03 |
| Kata | MikeHbuntu sorry, i almost missed your reply. Yes, it does show the wireless network i'm trying to connect to, and it says i'm connected with full strenght....*this is in roaming mode* i've tried setting it manually and still nothing | 20:04 |
| jadedoto | dexi: or just boot into windows and do a proper shutdown | 20:04 |
| anon6989 | im having a problem with my wired ethernet, it worked yesterday and now today it does not connect | 20:04 |
| adie_986 | the network is showing up in a widget but its does'nt connect why? | 20:04 |
| dexi | jadedoto: i did a proper shutdown but im going to do it again and if that doesnt solve it, we'll come back | 20:04 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: do you know if you have cpu frequency switching enabled? i don't think i even know how to check myself. it's the only thing that comes to mind though | 20:04 |
| johnyblue | i have lamp after i've followed s tutorial | 20:05 |

| johnyblue | now i wish to access this webserver using ftp | 20:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, yes, but I suggest a backup of the file or just rem out the entry | 20:06 |
| johnyblue | what to do? | 20:06 |
| D3RGPS31 | how do i install lamp without tasksel | 20:06 |
| shadfc | ikonia: hmm, the laptop is still 8.04 actually. its syslog dumps a bunch of mmcblk0 I/O errors and a sdhci register dump. I guess thats more than the 8.10 box does though =D | 20:06 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: "rem out" | 20:06 |
| dexi | ? | 20:06 |
| joejc | thanks | 20:06 |
| MikeHbuntu | Kata, are you able to get an IP address? what does ifconfig show? (pastebin url is in the topic for long pastes) | 20:06 |
| anon6989 | i have my eth0 in ifconfig but it does not connect when i put the wire in it tries but does not succeed | 20:06 |

| illmortal | anyone know if a processor doesn't get hot if it means that it's a bad processor?? | 20:25 |

| Law506 | currently using putty, just curious if command prompt was possible, thanks though | 20:27 |

| illmortal | jack_sparrow well what exactly would be the problem if a brand new built PC's motherboard is not beeping? | 20:36 |

| eelriver | no speaker? | 20:36 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: not force mounting, adding the drive to fstab itself? | 20:36 |

| slimjimflim | hello, another windows related question for you | 21:05 |
| mindrape | MindVirus: run ccsm | 21:05 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 21:05 |
| MindVirus | mindrape, I'm there. | 21:05 |
| slimjimflim | when i do `mount /dev/sda1 /media/xp` i can see only a small portion of the files on the ntfs drive | 21:06 |
| mindrape | MindVirus: its in there somewhere. Probably under Window decorations or something. | 21:06 |
| MindVirus | mindrape, no. | 21:06 |
| slimjimflim | df says that the drive is vfat, but i'm pretty sure it's ntfs | 21:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, /dev/sda1 /media/dexi-windows ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 please verify spelling of your mount point as well as any caps | 21:07 |
| MindVirus | In Window Decorations, there are shadow options, command (compiz-decorator), mipmapping, and window selecting options (which windows to decorate, which to shadow). | 21:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, yep, but please have a backup | 21:08 |
| dexi | Yessir | 21:08 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: "Could not save the file /etc/fstab-backup You do not have the permissions necessary....." | 21:09 |
| dexi | copy it through terminal, probably huh | 21:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 21:10 |
| duffydack | slimjimflim: i just mkdir /media/sda1 etc and add /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab | 21:10 |
| duffydack | sda1 being C: and sda2 being D: etc etc | 21:10 |
| DragonLotus | Hey, I'm having Sound Problems in Intrepid. I followed the multimedia & video guide and apt-get'd a bunch of stuff. Still no luck. Is there a permission thing I could be overlooking? | 21:11 |
| slimjimflim | duffydack, is that all the mount command does? | 21:11 |
| slimjimflim | just edits a text file? | 21:11 |
| slimjimflim | wouldn't you need to at least restart a daemon? | 21:11 |
| duffydack | no, you edit the file /etc/fstab | 21:11 |
| lazyPower | DragonLotus, What kind of sound problems? Are you using Pulse Audio? What Chipset yo using? | 21:11 |
| === null_head is now known as mr_crabs | ||

| DragonLotus | I'm using the Intel HDA chipset on my Intel P45 Motherboard. I don't know if I'm using pulse audio or not. lazyPower, thanks for the repsonse. | 21:12 |
| duffydack | is it your windows drives you wanna mount? | 21:12 |

| lazyPower | also, have you checked your mixer settings to make sure its not muted, and that you have the proper audio out configured? | 21:13 |
| DragonLotus | lazyPower: as far as I can tell, there are no sounds comming through my speakers in linux. In windows, however, it works fine. | 21:13 |
| DragonLotus | Uhm, my mixer settings like... right click the speaker and go to mixer and make sure it's not muted? | 21:14 |

| * lazyPower points to what mindrape said | 21:14 | |
| lazyPower | i dont trust the gnome mixer :P | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, mkdir /media/sda1 etc and add /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab is the basic format | 21:14 |
| DragonLotus | lazyPower: it doesn't apear to be muted. | 21:15 |
| lazyPower | Are you using a laptop? | 21:15 |
| duffydack | should be a link to ubuntuguide in topic here, would save a lot of questions | 21:15 |
| slimjimflim | duffydack, kewl | 21:15 |
| l-isla | DragonLotus: I had a similar problem when I first installed Itrepid. I had to change the jack to which my speaker was connected to get sound working | 21:15 |
| lazyPower | My particular laptop, if i reboot into windows, I loose sound and have to pull the battery and unplug the power cord to get sound back... its an odd bug with the Compaq Presario line of laptops... | 21:15 |
| DragonLotus | lazyPower: nope. and in Alsamixer I only have master and capture. which doesn't look familiar. I remember lots more too... | 21:15 |
| duffydack | and, if you cant find it in the newest distro page, look in the older ones | 21:15 |
| duffydack | most of it applies | 21:15 |
| DragonLotus | lazyPower: that's a bummer! | 21:15 |
| * lazyPower nods | 21:16 | |
| DragonLotus | l-isla: what do you mean switch jacks? | 21:16 |
| wyden | hi! | 21:16 |
| l-isla | DraginLotus: I think pulseaudio does not automagically recognize multi channel output | 21:16 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: ok so thats what i did, except for the options you gave me are different and the pass is 1, but i assume that its supposed to be like that? | 21:16 |
| wyden | got some C and C++ Developper there? | 21:16 |
| slimjimflim | duffydack, does that apply to hardy? | 21:16 |

| DragonLotus | l-isla: uhh that worked kinda. I have a black connection in the back that is labeled rear speaker and plugging headphones into it gives me sound?? | 21:18 |
| duffydack | start with the newest, do a ctrl-F and search for what you want.. look in the older guides if you can find it..they dont always repeat themselves | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dexi, man mount or fstab for details | 21:18 |
| conrad_ | is rsync needed on both machines? | 21:19 |
| lazyPower | DragonLotus, That would be the issue then, Its not recognizing your multi-chanel out | 21:19 |

| jimi__hendrix | old | 21:42 |
| jimi__hendrix | thats all i know | 21:43 |
| Flannel | winmutt: However, since feisty is EOL, you'll have to move your sources to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for feisty to get completely up-to-date (first step of upgrading) | 21:43 |
| * winmutt starts over | 21:43 | |
| winmutt | AH! | 21:43 |
| gold-bug | jimi__hendrix: not really helpful. Please stop using enter to break up your responses. Did you "check the cd for defects" from the cd's boot menu? | 21:43 |
| winmutt | flannel thanks for that tidbit | 21:43 |
| ali_ | all a Happy New Year! | 21:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !trash | 21:48 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 21:48 |
| duffydack | you are behind a router, dump iptables | 21:48 |
| ShockUBT | "apt-get -y install sun-java6-jre" doesn't seem to do it | 21:48 |
| duffydack | thats like puttin a paper bag over your head when theres already one on hers | 21:48 |
| ShockUBT | it brings up a dialog box that you have to click ok | 21:48 |
| Rprp | hey, just upgraded my ram to 4gb, but Ubuntu says i got only 2gb.. Bios says 4gb.. anyone does know why? | 21:49 |

| Ahadiel | Rprp, Are you running 32-bit, or 64-bit Ubuntu? | 21:49 |
| FisherPrice | Hi, I've got an epson printer that worked in Hardy, but since I upgraded to Intrepid it won't detect it. I've tried looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers but it isn't updated for Intrepid yet... It's an Epson CX5500 | 21:49 |
| Rprp | Ahadiel: 32 bit | 21:49 |
| nDevastator | can i use a live cd and format a HDD with it | 21:49 |
| kolby_ | I have to run "iptables -F; iptables -X; iptables -P input accept; iptables -P output accept; iptables forward accept" | 21:49 |
| Ahadiel | Rprp, You have 3 options: 1) Install 64-bit Ubuntu, 2) Install the 32-bit ubuntu kernel, 3) Compile a kernel with PAE support. | 21:49 |
| Ahadiel | Rprp, 2) Install the 32-bit server kernel* | 21:50 |
| nDevastator | nvm found a partition editor | 21:50 |
| profanephobia | Jack_Sparrow, i deleted the Trash folder out of ~/.local/share/ and still it shows as having contents in Trash. | 21:50 |
| Rprp | Ahadiel: Ye i know, but isnt 32 bit Ubuntu possible with just 4gb? | 21:50 |
| Ahadiel | Rprp, Nope | 21:50 |

| hikenboot | hello all anyone know if its possible to put a video on root window now and still have icons I heard of a patch that would allow it but can find it anywhere | 21:58 |
| gold-bug | jimi__hendrix: gparted once you get a gui. Anyway X just isn't loading for some reason. You can probably use the Alternate install disk to install and then troubleshoot X once you have ubuntu installed | 21:58 |

| hikenboot | gold-bug, does it have better support of encryption lvm and raid (simultaneously ) during setup | 21:59 |
| * kolby_ downloads ufw | 21:59 | |

| jimi__hendrix | Jack_Sparrow, im on the liveCD...so im loged in as "ubuntu"...i dont know his password | 22:10 |
| eseven73 | deniz_>> ok well if you want to run a KDE app as root, and if its graphical you need to use kdesu <app name goes here> | 22:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jimi__hendrix, livecd doesnt require it. | 22:10 |
| lethshadow-ca | my computer sees the 2nd hard drive as it is shown in 'places' but if i click on it it says cannot mount drive, invalid mount option... | 22:10 |
| jimi__hendrix | does ubuntu have root access? | 22:11 |
| deniz_ | eseven73, Jack_Sparrow, im ubuntu 8.10 gnome but thats irrelevant i think because previously i was running it perfectly | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jimi__hendrix, yes | 22:11 |
| jimi__hendrix | so i can do cfdisk and mess up my drives with no problem Jack_Sparrow? | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_, Is your souce list original or modified? | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jimi__hendrix, You are treading in a grey area reserved for trolls.. | 22:12 |
| eseven73 | deniz_>> its not irrelevant, just as with graphical root gnome needs 'gksu' or 'gksudo' | 22:12 |
| Flannel | jimi__hendrix: On a normal liveCD, the default password is blank. Have you checked your CD for defects? Sometimes a bad burn will leave you with a password for some reason. | 22:12 |

| eseven73 | deniz_>> try 'sudo apt-get --purge remove kmplot && apt-get install kmplot' see if that helps | 22:13 |
| deniz_ | eseven73, it use to work as user but ever since i zoomed in and out alot and then tried to close it, the next time i ran it, it used 100% CPU and didnt open completely so i tried with root and it worked | 22:14 |

| eseven73 | deniz_>> if you dont mind a few libs and some extra apps, you might wanna install kubuntu-desktop to see if that helps? | 22:17 |
| Flannel | mikegriffin: Ah, we're upgrading to hardy. Alright, and do you have gutsy-proposed enabled? | 22:17 |

| RainCT | Hi | 22:18 |
| eseven73 | Do you have to be an Op to get a 'ubuntu/member/nick' cloak? | 22:19 |
| Flannel | eseven73: No, you have to be an Ubuntu member | 22:19 |
| gu | org | 22:19 |
| eseven73 | Flannel>> how do I do that? | 22:19 |
| Flannel | mikegriffin: No, it's not. Also, be sure to reboot to the older kernel to avoid the locales bug (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades) | 22:19 |

| vlamir | hello how are you | 22:20 |
| mikegriffin | Kata: which card? | 22:20 |

| ubottu | vlamir: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:20 |

| Kata | mikegriffin its broadcom 44something...i forget what to do to check it again... | 22:21 |
| mikegriffin | Flannel: i am running 2.6.22-16-generic, was it fixed i would hope? | 22:21 |
| evowill | !nickspam | Vladi | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Vladi: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead. See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » | 22:22 |
| Flannel | mikegriffin: Yes | 22:22 |
| mikegriffin | Flannel: now to remove some old kernels to free up room in /boot.. | 22:23 |
| JWFoxJr | I blacklisted ehci_hcd in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and it still loaded at boot. What gives? | 22:23 |
| Flannel | mikegriffin: remove the linux-image-* packages in your favorite package manager (obviously don't remove your current one) | 22:23 |
| RainCT | I have no sound after suspend on Intrepid (card: HDA Intel ALC268 Digital). Ideas? | 22:23 |

| Helo_ | After installation, my screen is blinking with different colors instead of loading the system. Anyone famillar with this issue? | 22:24 |

| colton_ | So, i'm going to download my kernel source from the kernel.org website. But, if I know my version, such as 2.6.28-4-generic, does it make any difference, when downloading the source, whether it is -4, or -6, or -4? | 22:36 |
| mrwizard_ | one for xp, one for ubuntu, and one for data | 22:36 |
| mikegriffin | bogsdev: cd burner? how much do you need to backup? | 22:36 |
| bogsdev | mikegriffin: not very much. about 1 gb or so | 22:36 |
| winmutt | mike: yes | 22:36 |
| winmutt | mike: rather just dist-upgrade | 22:37 |
| winmutt | mike: you mean after changing my sources? | 22:37 |
| mikegriffin | winmutt: i have always dont upgrade, then dist-upgrade and then reboot, it seems to work | 22:37 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, jejeje no body respond :P | 22:37 |
| mikegriffin | winmutt: you are coming from which to which? | 22:37 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, you have the kernel 2.6.28? | 22:38 |
| bogsdev | mrwizard: because we're going to transfer her files by accessing the xp partition from Ubuntuto her home folder, and then erase the xp partition and grow the ubuntu partition | 22:38 |
| mikegriffin | bogsdev: that is a dumb way to do it | 22:38 |
| onetinsoldier | brujo: yes, i do | 22:38 |
| Joeseph | Is anyone else experiencing slow downloading times for the US repository right now? My current download seems to be going slow.... | 22:38 |
| mrwizard_ | bogsdev: gotcha. Unfortunately, I'm not much help because I only run ubuntu in a VM, but good luck | 22:38 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, dam so is not a bug | 22:38 |
| bogsdev | ok. what is the best way | 22:38 |
| onetinsoldier | brujo: it's not not a bug? | 22:39 |
| Noobuntu | Anyone happen to know how I would go about compiling the B43 Drivers for AirCrack on Ubuntu? I'm not sure of where the "source" folder is... | 22:39 |
| bogsdev | mrwizard_: sorry to post that twice, bumped the arrow key as I was typing | 22:39 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, in the ubuntu page, tell is a kernel bug | 22:39 |
| mrwizard_ | bogsdev: no worries | 22:39 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, but i think is one error of me! | 22:39 |
| mikegriffin | bogsdev: i would use gparted to create a partition at the end, say 2G and then put your files on it. then install ubuntu on the rest of the drive, copy the files into ~ and turn the 2G into swap or something | 22:40 |
| onetinsoldier | brujo: oh, maybe it is your error. hmmm, i don't know for sure | 22:40 |
| arpad | i'm using ubuntu 8.10, i added another graphics card to run another monitor and now startx says "Primary device is not PCI / (EE) No devices detected / Fatal server error: no screens found" even though lspci shows both cards fine.. any ideas? | 22:40 |
| bogsdev | mikegriffin: ahh...that's a better idea | 22:40 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, thank you very much, the next wat is for me | 22:40 |
| brujo | onetinsoldier, wat=way | 22:41 |
| arpad | both cards are on pcie, by the way, a geforce 8800 gts and a geforce 6600 gt | 22:41 |
| abuyusuf | arpad: try reconfiguring your xorg.conf | 22:41 |
| onetinsoldier | brujo: your're welcome. :-) i have to go for a while. take care and happy new year! | 22:41 |
| bogsdev | mikegriffin: i was planning on mounting the ntfs partition after the install, copy the files to her home folder, remove the ntfs partition and use Gparted to grow the Ubuntu partition | 22:41 |
| arpad | abuyusuf: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing useful, leaves me with a minimal xorg.conf with no devices | 22:42 |
| mikegriffin | do-release-upgrade is trying to take me from gutsy to hardy despite my efforts to use -d, is there a way to go directly to intrepid with this tool? | 22:42 |
| abuyusuf | arpad: after doing that, go to your ubuntu, normal login with that minimal xorg.conf | 22:42 |
| winmutt | mike: this fixed my bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/235527 | 22:43 |
| abuyusuf | arpad: then from System menu, choose Preferences then Screen resolution | 22:43 |
| winmutt | arpad gets around like a $2 whore | 22:43 |
| abuyusuf | arpad: then hit the "detect screens" button, it works for me and detected the external monitro | 22:43 |
| shivamib | damn, a $2 whore must be really bogus | 22:44 |
| arpad | lol, hi winmutt | 22:44 |
| arpad | abuyusuf: i can't normally login, startx dies and a reboot dumps me back at the console | 22:45 |
| e-head | Hey, how do I get smbmount? | 22:45 |
| mikegriffin | winmutt: neat, but this made me notice something terrible | 22:45 |
| abuyusuf | abuyusuf: so i asked you to reconfigure xorg.conf | 22:45 |
| abuyusuf | arpad: so i asked you to reconfigure xorg.conf | 22:45 |
| weternal | does anyone know how to include a wii in your home network? | 22:45 |
| arpad | abuyusuf: that is with the minimal xorg.conf, isn't that what you meant? | 22:46 |
| abuyusuf | arpad: yeah, login with the minimal xorg.conf, and then do what i said from the System menu, and your another monitor would be work after that | 22:46 |

| blacklemon67 | how do I get the clipboard contents in a shell script? | 22:48 |
| mikegriffin | weternal: what do you mean? the wii hopped on the access point.. | 22:48 |
| mikegriffin | blacklemon67: paste them? | 22:48 |
| mrwizard | blacklemon67: yeah, don't shell scripts get written in a text editor? | 22:49 |
| * mikegriffin knows he wants the script to grab the contents but thats dumb | 22:49 | |
| Dr_willis_ | mrwizard, thats the normal way. :) theres other ways to generate them | 22:49 |
| blacklemon67 | no, I want to put the clipboard contents _into_ a variable | 22:50 |
| weternal | oh I'm trying to access memory from the wii... I've got an external hard drive plugged into the usb on the back of the wii, which I'd rather leave plugged into the wii, since the other computers on the network are laptops | 22:50 |
| Newb`s | 10min left | 22:50 |
| weternal | i.e. I'd like to use the wii as a wireless access point for the external hard drive | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | blacklemon67, i recall some cli tools for manipulating the clipboard in the repos.. but never used it. | 22:51 |
| mikegriffin | weternal: you can access stuff on the drive now somehow? | 22:51 |

| winmutt | dpkg is segfaulting again | 22:52 |
| weternal | no, but I feel like I should be able to... I mean the wii is connected to the internet, and it's got an external hard drive plugged into a usb on the back | 22:52 |
| winmutt | this is worthless | 22:52 |
| arpad | this howto (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760) notes that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg isn't helpful anymore, any idea what to do then if the runtime autodetection fails? | 22:52 |

| weternal | why does it have usb ports? | 22:52 |
| mrwes | winmutt : do you have a separate /home partition? | 22:53 |
| Dr_willis_ | weternal, i recall the wii needing an update a few months back for the thing to accept usb keyboards. | 22:53 |

| mrwizard | darn, I was just about to answer rogan | 22:54 |
| mikegriffin | weternal: does your wireless ap have a usb port? | 22:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | weternal, No idea.. I dont haxor my wii.. I play games with it. - | 22:54 |

| jacekowski | mikegriffin: better don't go directly | 22:55 |
| weternal | Dr_willis_ m entertaining the idea | 22:55 |
| Nook | hey anyone know where i can get games for psx playstation simulator | 22:55 |
| mrwizard | Nook: best not to ask that here | 22:55 |
| jacekowski | Nook: shop | 22:55 |
| mikegriffin | jacekowski: im going to with apt if do-blah wont | 22:55 |
| weternal | I read somewhere that it theoretically could, but Nintendo didn't want to pay the licensing fees | 22:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | Nook, playstation 1 . well thats not exactly 'legal' theres sites that have them. but i buy mine at the used game store for like $2 a pop | 22:55 |
| weternal | theoretically could play dvds that is | 22:56 |
| mikegriffin | jacekowski: do you know what -m is for? | 22:56 |
| cyberjuice | ubuntu rocks duded | 22:56 |
| mrwizard | eh | 22:56 |
| mikegriffin | i dont have a /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 22:56 |
| jacekowski | mikegriffin: upgrade from gutsy to hardy may break your system, upgrade from gutsy to intrepid will break your system | 22:57 |
| mikegriffin | what could break? dpkg is smart | 22:57 |
| mrwizard | mikegriffin: worst case scenario, you fresh install | 22:58 |
| mikegriffin | best case, i tweak a line in menu.list or xorg.conf i mean this is super common hardware and i run fluxbox with no decorations or anything | 22:59 |
| mikegriffin | so, anyone know how to use do-release-upgrade to skip a version? perhaps the -m flag is used? | 22:59 |

| mrwes | apt-get is the best | 23:03 |
| mrwes | is there a search command for apt-get? | 23:03 |
| mikegriffin | mrwes: everyone was saying use do-release-upgrade but it seems to suck | 23:03 |
| mikegriffin | mrwes: apt-cache search | 23:03 |

| gbear14275 | wmctrl... anyone... anyone.... bueller? | 23:06 |
| mindrape | gbear14275: never used it. man wmctrl or google. | 23:06 |

| whileimhere | Hello. I recently upgraded from 7.10 to the new 8.10 with the GNOME as my desktop. Previously I had built and played Advanced MAME without any issues. Now with the upgrade I am experiencing sound issues. It sort of stutters a bit. I found that when I log into the terminal session I do not have these sound issues. Any idea what is causing them in GNOME now? | 23:15 |
| mindrape | puppiesRcute: sudo lshw -C storage and dmesg don't have any evidence that it was even detected? | 23:15 |

| manning | For some reason when I booted my into linux tonight, as X starts up the video is all screwed up, saying it can't detect my video cards or display. No matter what drivers I tell it to use (default nv or the nvidia ones) the screen will go black and stall. When I reboot, the same thing happens. I tried to reconfigure x, uninstall and reinstall nvidia drivers, everything I could think of and nothing changes. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 | 23:22 |
| mindrape | manning - you did a dpkg -reconfigure or how did you reconfigure x? | 23:23 |
| caimlas | mindrape, funny, the fucks over in #debian banned me and told me to come ask here. | 23:23 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about srry | 23:23 |
| caimlas | mindrape, sorry. | 23:24 |
| mindrape | caimlas - well Ubuntu is a debian-based distro so they should be able to help. Since you are using Ubuntu there are occasional quirks so they prefer you get help in the specific distro channel. | 23:24 |

| LetsGo67 | My DVD ripped all the way to 51 minutes, then failed: what's wrong? | 23:24 |
| caimlas | mindrape, right; but it's a specific apt related question. | 23:24 |
| === Octoroks is now known as zc00gii | ||
| caimlas | just... urg. | 23:24 |
| weternal | hey what's the package name for adobe reader? | 23:24 |
| caimlas | short of ripping out -everything- installed and reinstalling, I can't find a proper way to do it with apt | 23:24 |
| mindrape | caimlas - they probably just didn't know so instead of telling you to google it or admitting their ignorance they just told you to leave. Arrogance and over-inflated egos are pretty prevalent on this network unfortunately... | 23:25 |
| astarmathsandphy | I have tried dpkg --configure -a | 23:25 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 is there still room on the drive? | 23:26 |
| mindrape | manning - can you just login and go to a console and attempt to startx and see what specific error it gives you? | 23:26 |
| mindrape | manning - or maybe tail -100 /var/log/messages and pastebin that? | 23:26 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 I mean was there room for the DVD rip to fit on the hard drive? | 23:26 |
| LetsGo67 | weternal: plenty, the encoded 51 minutes Theora file is only 600 megs, I have over 40 gigs left. | 23:26 |
| ardchoille | weternal: apt-cache search adobe | grep pdf ? | 23:26 |
| caimlas | mindrape, irony is, I prefer debian for most everything but laptops... grr | 23:26 |
| LetsGo67 | weternal: could it be the dual-layer transition? | 23:27 |
| caimlas | mindrape, and yes you're most likely correct. | 23:27 |
| mindrape | caimlas - it is possible to --force and --force-depends to get a package installed. It will cause future breakage w apt though when you try to apt-get upgrade or something and it will ask to remove them. If you refer to that how-to I pasted that section will tell you how to get around it. | 23:27 |
| caimlas | mindrape, so, no idea on how to regress packages? I know all the -upgrading- tricks, just don't know how to regress a package (or in this case, massive set of packages) installation. | 23:27 |
| manning | mindrape: the only way i can even see the console is in recovery mode. when trying to switch from x in normal mode, the console is all colored with crazy characters. | 23:27 |
| gosox|sick | anyone wanna help me with Gcc 4.*.* and compiling an ircd, i'm seeming to have a problem with it, and wondering if anyone can give me a apt-get command for a lesser version of gcc | 23:27 |
| Gnea | caimlas: have you tried simply removing them? | 23:28 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 it's possible... what program are you using to rip? | 23:28 |
| caimlas | Gnea, yeah, it tries to remove pretty much everything dependent on X, it seems | 23:28 |
| Gnea | gosox|sick: apt-cache search gcc | 23:28 |
| caimlas | Gnea, I upgraded the xorg-* packages, is what I did. | 23:28 |
| LetsGo67 | I was using Thoggen, worked fine until 51 minutes... trying to extract with dvd::rip now. | 23:28 |
| caimlas | Gnea, so yeah, can't easily remove those afaik w/o futzing X | 23:28 |
| === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath | ||
| Gnea | caimlas: ah, then it can't be done. you'll need to reinstall. why do you need to downgrade? | 23:28 |
| LetsGo67 | Weternal, is it possible to make iso file? | 23:28 |
| caimlas | (and no, the other packages didn't get upgraded in the process, I wanted to keep those at the versions they're at) | 23:29 |
| caimlas | Gnea, intrepid's X is glitchy, really glitchy | 23:29 |
| weternal | ardchoille thanks | 23:29 |
| Gnea | caimlas: works fine here | 23:29 |
| mbdl | have an error when u try to use sudo (sudo: must be setuid root) | 23:29 |
| caimlas | Gnea, like, fonts are all corrupted (mixture of wingdings at times, normal, and random missing pixels throughout the fonts)... sometimes pixmap corruption and the like. | 23:30 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 what's the program you're using, I'm pretty sure you can write an ISO using Brasero | 23:30 |
| caimlas | Gnea, it's not unstable or anything, the driver is just not working properly (i830 video using the intel driver) | 23:30 |
| Gnea | caimlas: never seen that happen before. is it a vanilla install or did you upgrade from hardy? | 23:30 |
| Gnea | caimlas: and how did you determine that? | 23:30 |
| caimlas | Gnea, the whole impetus to upgrade was brought on by my irritation with fullscreen video and anything in wine causing the whole display to blink randomly. i'd read that they'd fixed that problem in the intrepid binaries... | 23:31 |
| LetsGo67 | Weternal, somehow it failed in Brasero, sadly. | 23:31 |
| manning | So am I going to have to wipe it and reinstall to fix this? | 23:31 |
| LetsGo67 | dvd::rip where does it store extracted files? | 23:31 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: are you ripping a dvd9 to dvd5? | 23:31 |
| Gnea | caimlas: k, well that doesn't really tell me anything, other than that you're really annoyed. | 23:31 |
| caimlas | Gnea, re: driver not working properly, because it's not painting anything properly to display, and I've experienced this before with a driver memory corruption bug way back when xorg wasn't xorg. | 23:32 |
| LetsGo67 | dunoo what that is ardchoille, newb at ripping dvd. | 23:32 |
| LetsGo67 | :) | 23:32 |
| Gnea | caimlas: that doesn't explain anything, and you're not answering my questions, which pretty much halts the troubleshooting process. | 23:32 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: dvd9 = dual layer, dvd5 = single layer | 23:32 |
| caimlas | Gnea, sorry, let me back up. | 23:32 |
| mbdl | have an error when u try to use sudo (sudo: must be setuid root) | 23:32 |
| caimlas | Gnea, did you see my pastebin link? | 23:32 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 what option did you choose in Brasero? | 23:32 |
| nivoset | ok. so i'm new to linux on the whole. trying to setup a computer, and it isn't giving me the screen resolution i need (lcd, its stuck at 800x600 but should be 1280x960) trying to rigure out either xrandr or how to set it up in the xorg.fonf but i am completely lost | 23:33 |
| caimlas | Gnea, http://pastebin.com/m186bbd02 | 23:33 |
| caimlas | so as to not flood the channel | 23:33 |
| LetsGo67 | ardchoille: thx. :) the dvd I am ripping is dvd9, I am trying to either make ISO or encode it in Theora. Weternal, selected the "1:1" option. | 23:33 |
| caimlas | (I also upgraded the hal packages to intrepid, as the hal packages in hardy weren't working in intrepid any longer) | 23:33 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: If you're ripping a dual layer dvd to dingle layer size, then there is an app in the repos called dvd95 and it does that. There's also http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/ | 23:33 |
| Gnea | caimlas: ah okay, that's a bit better... but what make/model is the laptop? | 23:33 |
| LetsGo67 | Thanks, ardchoille. | 23:34 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: ah, ok, nvm then | 23:34 |
| caimlas | Gnea, thinkpad x30 | 23:34 |
| manning | mindrape: alright, well thanks for the help. i'm going to call it quits for a while and stick with Windows until I feel like completely reinstalling Ubuntu again. | 23:34 |
| nivoset | could i get some help from someone with xrandr? | 23:34 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 does ardchoille's solution work? come back if you need more help | 23:35 |
| caimlas | and, I'm trying to produce a screenshot, but I'm not currently able to replicate the font corruption, just the random pixmap corruption to a minimal degree. | 23:35 |
| afrhead | rc.whatnet.org | 23:35 |
| LetsGo67 | Am I doing the right thing by ripping with dvd::rip though? | 23:35 |
| rww | mbdl: have you been doing weird things to the permissions of your /usr/bin/ directory? | 23:35 |
| Gnea | caimlas: have you read the thinkwiki? | 23:35 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 the 1:1 copy should be what you want | 23:35 |
| caimlas | Gnea, I have it freaking memorized *g* | 23:35 |
| LetsGo67 | 57% of Wall-E is extracted... | 23:35 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: I know that xdvdshrink rips a dual layer dvd to single layer size and outputs an iso | 23:35 |

| ubottu | Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 23:36 |
| LetsGo67 | Why is it called "shrink" though? | 23:36 |
| Gnea | caimlas: how about those sites? :) | 23:36 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: I tried several rippers on that particular dvd movie and none of them finished the rip correctly | 23:36 |
| LetsGo67 | Can't find xdvdshrink package though. | 23:36 |
| rww | mbdl: because that error means that /usr/bin/sudo isn't setuid root any more... Follow the instructions in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1467656&postcount=4 to fix it. | 23:36 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: it shrinks a dual layer dvd down to fit on a single layer dvd | 23:36 |
| caimlas | Gnea, I've been running debian (and then ubuntu) on this laptop for the past 5 years | 23:36 |
| LetsGo67 | Ardchoille, you have/had Wall-E!? | 23:36 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net | 23:37 |
| LetsGo67 | How come none can rip it successfully? | 23:37 |
| mbdl | rww: i forgot to only take permission of one file and did the hole bin dir | 23:37 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: yes, but none of the rippers worked for that movie | 23:37 |
| Devourer | If I already have an instance of nautilus open, how can I get admin rights without having to restart it? | 23:37 |
| LetsGo67 | Copy protection? | 23:37 |

| ardchoille | LetsGo67: That's what I thought | 23:37 |

| Gnea | caimlas: what what about console? is that corrupted as well? | 23:38 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 dvdshrink defaults to a compressed version of the dvd | 23:38 |
| Gnea | caimlas: k, and lm-sensors tell you the RPMs correctly? | 23:38 |
| caimlas | no | 23:38 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 It could be copyprotected | 23:38 |
| caimlas | or it wasn't | 23:38 |
| === jhattara_ is now known as jhattara | ||
| Gnea | caimlas: but is it? | 23:39 |
| caimlas | that is actually another 'irritation' that was brought on by the upgrade - I can't use ctl-alt-F# to switch to console. | 23:39 |
| LetsGo67 | I am trying to put my dvds on Nintendo DS... if possible. And I only have a 4gb card. | 23:39 |
| mbdl | rww: if i wanted to take owner ship to one fie so i can update it how would i do that | 23:39 |
| Gnea | caimlas: can you reboot into single-user mode? | 23:39 |
| weternal | hmm, well you wont be able to fit all of them on there | 23:39 |
| LetsGo67 | But ARccOS is sony, not Disney... | 23:39 |
| Gnea | caimlas: or ssh into it? | 23:39 |
| mindrape | Ben - nm-tools what IP does ifconfig say you have? 169.x.x.x? | 23:39 |
| ardchoille | caimlas: do you have nvidia card with installed drivers? | 23:39 |
| mbdl | rww: vuze doesnt have right permissions because im not root to do updates | 23:40 |
| LetsGo67 | Weternal, but I only need it at the native DS resolution, right? | 23:40 |
| rww | mbdl: first, fix your sudo with the link I gave you earlier. Then, sudo chown username:group /path/to/file | 23:40 |
| Ben | mindrape 192.168.2.2 | 23:40 |
| weternal | yeah | 23:40 |
| mindrape | Ben - so you can access the LAN just not the internet or not even other computers on the LAN? | 23:40 |
| weternal | so you could use DVDshrink to compress the video | 23:40 |
| earthmeLon | Anybody here know what Lorcon is? | 23:40 |
| mbdl | rww: ok | 23:40 |
| Ben | not even other stuff on LAN. | 23:40 |
| weternal | do you know whether it is copy protected? | 23:40 |
| caimlas | ardchoille, I don't have such a thing | 23:41 |
| ardchoille | caimlas: ok | 23:41 |
| LetsGo67 | Should I give up dvd::rip? Yeah, Wall-E is protected, afaik | 23:41 |
| Ben | mindrape, its static ip not dhcp by the way | 23:41 |
| mindrape | ah... are you sure your router allows IPs in that range? | 23:41 |
| gosox|sick | Ben, does your other computers on the LAN have other things to connect to? | 23:41 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: you could try acidrip to rip it to an mpeg or avi, I never tried that with wall-e | 23:41 |
| weternal | are you sure that it's encrypted with ARccOS? | 23:41 |
| mordof | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing was using this guide.. i did everything up to the part where it's to set up the client (i'm on win 2k, that's why i stopped there) but i set the static IP, the gateway to the proper server eth1 IP, the DNS servers.. yet my client can't see the server at all, nor the internet | 23:41 |
| mindrape | Ben - sometimes routers, such as linksys/netgear, only allow certain IP ranges to be assigned. You can assign a static IP in that range along w the DHCP server dynamically assigning them out. But it will not allow other IPs | 23:41 |
| gosox|sick | ben: you can't connect to a computer with no ports open nor listening. | 23:41 |
| LetsGo67 | Thanks. | 23:41 |
| LetsGo67 | :) | 23:42 |
| mordof | anyone have experience with this and able to help me out? | 23:42 |
| LetsGo67 | Yeah copy protected logo on it, by the way. | 23:42 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 I'm not sure about the | 23:42 |
| weternal | DS aspect | 23:42 |
| LetsGo67 | Isn't it close to the gba's? | 23:42 |
| Ben | mindrape, my router is on the 192.168.1 range... I'll try changing my ip to 192.168.1.199 | 23:42 |
| rww | LetsGo67: Really? Damnit, I just bought that DVD for someone the other day and didn't see it. Stupid sneaky DRM >.> | 23:42 |
| mindrape | :) | 23:42 |
| mindrape | Ben - yes, it helps to be on the same subnet as your router... | 23:42 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: If it's copy protected, I'm not sure acidrip will work either | 23:42 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 don't know, don't own either | 23:43 |
| caimlas | Gnea, I should be more clear. after the upgrade, I shut down the laptop and left it to go do some other stuff. started it up, X input wasn't working. switched to console, installed the HAL packages for intrepid, restarted gdm, kb/mouse worked, and now I can't switch back to console. :P | 23:43 |
| caimlas | and yes I can ssh into the systme | 23:43 |

| weternal | ok good | 23:45 |
| LetsGo67 | nah man it froze! | 23:45 |
| caimlas | Gnea, what do you mean, it's not supposed to? not supposed to stop gdm? | 23:45 |
| Gnea | caimlas: can you pastebin your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log? | 23:45 |
| ardchoille | caimlas: you're mixing Hardy and Intrepid packages? | 23:45 |
| Ben | hooray!!!! network is functional now :) | 23:46 |
| Gnea | ardchoille: no, his thinkpad is bombing out on intrepid | 23:46 |
| idea4good | Ben! what your wireless card | 23:46 |
| LetsGo67 | Happens in VLC too! We'd be peacefully watching Enchanted, and right where the layer transition takes place (I believe)... VLC closes! | 23:46 |
| idea4good | bcz even i have some issue with wireless network | 23:47 |
| caimlas | Gnea, http://www.boiledfrog.us/xorg-upgrade-artifacts.png <-- the artifacts disappear when dragging a window over them, but note the 'maximize' icon on the top, as well as the "LetsGo" font corruption as said by weternal - sometimes it's bad enough to be unreadale | 23:47 |
| ardchoille | Gnea: From his paste: "That is, I only installed X: I added an intrepid source, changed priority in apt/preferences and then did sudo apt-get -t hardy install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-core." | 23:47 |
| caimlas | ardchoille, yes. and I'd like to get rid of intrepid Xorg packages w/o reinstalling completely. | 23:47 |
| Nook | which ubuntu is better 8,04 or 8.10 | 23:47 |
| mindrape | Nook - what are your criteria for "better"? | 23:47 |
| caimlas | Nook, 8.04 | 23:47 |
| Gnea | ardchoille: i didn't catch that.... | 23:48 |
| ardchoille | caimlas: If you've mixed Hardy and Intrepid packages, then that is likely the cause of the problem. If it were me I would re-install and not ix packages, it's dangerous | 23:48 |
| lisaccc | How can you search in Nautilus for text within files? | 23:48 |
| Nook | idk im new to this and im running ubuntu on a dell latitude d600 1g of ram | 23:48 |
| caimlas | Gnea, ardchoille I'll be back in a couple minutes. have to tend to a couple chores | 23:48 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 I lost the train of thought here, how's the DVD ripping going? | 23:48 |
| Gnea | caimlas: okay, ardchoille is right, mixing the two is only causing more problems than it's solving. you should know better that, even in debian, mixing packages like that is bad news. | 23:48 |
| LetsGo67 | Stopped during "layer transition". | 23:48 |
| caimlas | ardchoille, I figured. thus, why I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the intrepid packages (because intrepid upgrades kde3 to 4, which is something I cna't handle w/ 512Mb) | 23:48 |
| ardchoille | caimlas: not sure if you *can* fix this now | 23:49 |
| caimlas | Gnea, yeah, I know. I've been doing it for years, honestly... and usually I suffer dire consequences sooner than later. :P | 23:49 |
| LWTechSupport | Can anyone help me with a problem in 8.04, with sata HD detection? | 23:49 |
| caimlas | ardchoille, figured. I can't find anything in apt saying it's possible. | 23:49 |
| Gnea | caimlas: if you can live with the intrepid Xorg, then just make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed and kubuntu-desktop is removed | 23:49 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 if you put our username in your responses it makes it easier for us to follow along :) for future reference | 23:49 |
| LetsGo67 | Sorry man. :) weternal | 23:49 |
| mindrape | lisaccc - I dont believe it has that functionality built in. I use grep from a terminal. grep "findthis" /over/here/*.txt for example. | 23:50 |
| caimlas | Gnea, why's that? | 23:50 |
| Gnea | caimlas: i put debian on my first thinkpad about 10 years ago, so yeah, I know your pain ;) | 23:50 |
| LetsGo67 | What should I try now? | 23:50 |
| lisaccc | mindrape: thanks | 23:50 |
| weternal | since pidgin will let us know when we're chatted at that way LetsGo67 | 23:50 |
| LetsGo67 | dvd95? | 23:50 |
| caimlas | Gnea, it's the d&mn intel drivers; the thinkpad is wonderful :P | 23:50 |
| Gnea | caimlas: because kubuntu is what provides kde | 23:50 |
| LetsGo67 | I'm using Opera, weternal. :) | 23:50 |
| Gnea | caimlas: obfuscating it doesn't mean that people don't know what you just said, so please watch your language. :) | 23:50 |
| caimlas | Gnea, but other apps (which I use) use qt :P | 23:51 |
| JairunCaloth | hey guys, anyone have any tips for mounting an encrypted OSX home dir? | 23:51 |
| caimlas | Gnea, rgr | 23:51 |
| JairunCaloth | in Ubuntu | 23:51 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 I've never used that package, but It think that ardchoille recommended it | 23:51 |
| mindrape | JairunCaloth: encrypted with what? | 23:51 |
| caimlas | JairunCaloth, you'll have to do that with fuse, I think. HFS+ support is what you need, and I'm not sure if that's in kernel anymore | 23:51 |
| caimlas | JairunCaloth, best bet is to google | 23:51 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: I don't think you're going to be able to rip that dvd. I've become quite the expert at ripping and there just some that you can't rip | 23:51 |
| brunner | Hey guys | 23:51 |
| caimlas | Gnea, did you see the artifacts I was speaking of in the screenshot? | 23:52 |
| JairunCaloth | erhm... the builtin OSx encryption tool | 23:52 |
| LetsGo67 | SEGMENTATION FAULT! | 23:52 |
| Gnea | caimlas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/293059 | 23:52 |
| brunner | Why does Xorg always eat so much RAM? | 23:52 |
| JairunCaloth | file vault | 23:52 |
| Gnea | caimlas: try that | 23:52 |
| amortvigil | happy new year!!! | 23:52 |
| mindrape | brunner: because they secretly want you to use a command line interface only... ? | 23:52 |
| brunner | Right now Xorg is using 240MB | 23:52 |
| amortvigil | just got back from fireworks :D | 23:52 |
| brunner | mindrape: apparently | 23:52 |
| brunner | amortvigil: happy new year! | 23:52 |
| mindrape | brunner - how much memory do you have? | 23:52 |
| LetsGo67 | Why do I get a segmentatino fault, ardchoille, weternal? How can I rip a dvd, why is it so hard, can I just do analog hole? | 23:52 |
| LetsGo67 | Can I just use, what's it called, recordmydesktop and get it over with? | 23:53 |
| caimlas | Gnea, hmm well that might help. XAA on 8.04 resulted in Xv not working at all | 23:53 |
| LetsGo67 | Thanks for your help thus far, by the way... | 23:53 |
| Gnea | caimlas: try it and see | 23:54 |
| brunner | mindrape: 2GB | 23:54 |
| idea4good | when i do iwlist scan my wireless network is not listed | 23:54 |
| LetsGo67 | Who here votes I use recordmydesktop to rip a dvd? | 23:54 |
| eseven73 | i can never get sound working with recordmydesktop | 23:54 |
| caimlas | gnea yeah will do. i'll be back once I kill a chicken for dinner... | 23:54 |
| ardchoille | LetsGo67: you could do that but does recordmydesktop also grab audio? | 23:54 |
| Gnea | caimlas: just make sure you're using all intrepid packages first :) | 23:54 |
| LetsGo67 | eseven73: just hook up an audio cable between headphones and microphone. ;) | 23:54 |
| mindrape | brunner - and it's eating up a significant amount that you are concerned?!? free -m | 23:54 |
| Gnea | caimlas: yummy | 23:54 |
| LetsGo67 | ardchoille, see above. :) | 23:55 |
| ardchoille | yeah | 23:55 |
| caimlas | Gnea, all intrepid? well, all of X's are already intrepid. you talking about a dist-upgrade or? | 23:55 |
| LWTechSupport | Can anyone help me with a problem in 8.04, with sata HD detection? I am unable to mount or use fdisk to partition the drive. | 23:55 |
| LetsGo67 | Will it work if I lock screen? | 23:55 |
| mindrape | LWTechSupport: how are you trying to partition it? NTFS ext3 what? | 23:55 |
| Gnea | caimlas: yeah, best to make sure it's 100% | 23:55 |
| eseven73 | LetsGo67>> my headphones and mic are all one unit | 23:55 |
| iShock | How do I get my webcam working in Xubuntu? I tried easycam but I got compilation errors. | 23:55 |
| caimlas | Gnea, urg. but 8.10 is sooo much slower than 8.04 :-/ | 23:56 |
| ardchoille | !info easycam | 23:56 |
| ubottu | Package easycam does not exist in intrepid | 23:56 |
| caimlas | oh well. maybe then I'll get GEM :P | 23:56 |
| LWTechSupport | mindrape: I am trying to partition it as an NTFS drive, for storage | 23:56 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 I'm not sure... never used a screen recorder--if you don't have ethical objections perhaps a torrent would be less work | 23:56 |
| mindrape | LWTechSupport: did you apt-get install ntfsprogs first? GParted wont let you use NTFS otherwise properly... | 23:56 |
| LetsGo67 | Weternal, my bandwidth is slow, that's why. :) | 23:56 |
| Gnea | caimlas: maybe fixing the font issue will help | 23:56 |
| idea4good | hi guys can anybody please listen to my wireless problem | 23:56 |
| mindrape | idea4good: sure. I'll even offer advice after I listen. :) | 23:57 |
| Gnea | idea4good: not if you don't spit it out | 23:57 |
| weternal | idea4good what's up | 23:57 |
| LetsGo67 | dunno eseven73... | 23:57 |
| LetsGo67 | :) | 23:57 |
| LWTechSupport | mindrape: I am unable to even select the drive in fdisk, it will show up in my BIOS but not in fdisk | 23:57 |
| elg | does the ibex live cd do lvm and raid? if not, does the alternative cd? | 23:57 |
| idea4good | ok i have 2 wirless network one is pw protected and other is not but both of them seem to work | 23:57 |
| Gnea | elg: yes | 23:57 |
| idea4good | even though network manager detects both of them and signal strengh is good | 23:58 |
| iShock | How do I get my webcam working in Xubuntu? I tried easycam but I got compilation errors. | 23:58 |
| mindrape | LWTechSupport: go for GParted... see if that can detect it. You may need to call fdisk and reference the /dev/sdb or whatever it happens to be otherwise it will default. Or perhaps use cfdisk? | 23:58 |
| elg | Gnea: thanks. let me clarify my question though - i mean as a rescue cd, not as an installer | 23:58 |
| Gnea | !webcam | iShock | 23:58 |
| ubottu | iShock: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 23:58 |
| Gnea | elg: not sure. | 23:58 |
| idea4good | also when i do iwlist scan it just returns one wirless network that is open | 23:58 |
| iShock | Gnea, tried first link, nothing is working. | 23:58 |
| LWTechSupport | mindrape: thank you for the suggestion i will try it out and see what happens | 23:59 |
| idea4good | so what do you suggest | 23:59 |
| johnyblue | hi there...ow can I have a ftp server in my ubuntu? | 23:59 |
| mindrape | idea4good - nm-tool ? You say they both WORK or dont work? If both of them seem to work then just pick one... ? | 23:59 |
| simpleos | !ftp | johnyblue | 23:59 |
| ubottu | johnyblue: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd | 23:59 |
| idea4good | both of dont work | 23:59 |
| simpleos | !ftpd | 23:59 |
| ubottu | FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP | 23:59 |
| iShock | Gnea: My webcam is: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 | 23:59 |
| weternal | LetsGo67 what's eseven73 | 23:59 |
| Agion | where does pidgin save the logs?? | 23:59 |
| ardchoille | whoa, lots of ftpd's | 23:59 |
