| Clark3934 | I am having trouble setting up backuppc (backing up windows clients via smb to my ubuntu box). It keeps getting access denied when it tries to access the windows shares. When I checked the log file, it keeps trying to login anonymously, even when i provide it with a password. what should i do? | 00:00 |

| mindrape | idea4good - sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <pick one> then sudo iwconfig and see if the AP lists a MAC address or it says unassociated... | 00:00 |
| Agion | simpleos: the log files? y'now? | 00:00 |
| idea4good | mindrape: its listing a network that is open | 00:00 |
| simpleos | Ok. Just to view, or the filename? | 00:00 |

| Gnea | iShock: okay, do you see that listed under the supported section? | 00:01 |
| mindrape | well technically the search would give him the option of vsftpd, wuftpd, ftpd, etc, etc, etc. | 00:02 |
| idea4good | mindrape: no such device SIOCSIFADDR | 00:02 |
| iShock | Gnea, no, but why the hell shouldn't it work? | 00:02 |
| mindrape | idea4good - when you sudo iwconfig is the wireless adapter wlan0 or eth1 or what? | 00:02 |

| jacekowski | modprobe raw1394 | 00:14 |
| Gnea | iShock: do you get random characters if you do this: cat /dev/video0 | 00:14 |
| caimlas | Gnea, here's a thought... would it be possible to 'hold back' the kde3 packages if I were simply to dpkg -r the kdebase and kubuntu-desktop meta packages? | 00:14 |
| iShock | Gnea: Yes. | 00:14 |
| caimlas | Gnea, I don't use KDE, but I use a handful of QT based apps. | 00:14 |
| Gnea | !pin | caimlas | 00:14 |
| ubottu | caimlas: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 00:14 |

| Flannel | caimlas: If you don't ever do a dist-upgrade (and don't use any other package managers) you'll never get new kernels, for instance. You'll have packages "held back" | 00:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | uffo, marginally supported hardware... | 00:28 |
| Gnea | caimlas: while much of the debian package management system is used in Ubuntu, many other procedures are different and need to be followed to the letter in order to avoid problems | 00:28 |
| caimlas | Gnea, from the looks of it. | 00:28 |
| caimlas | Flannel, I'm aware of that. | 00:28 |

| Jack_Sparrow | uffo, what release of ubuntu and what chipset/network card | 00:30 |
| rww | Arenlor: Floodbot is weird like that. If you're on IRSSI, issue /ignore -channel #ubuntu * MODE (I think that's it, anyway.) | 00:30 |
| Gnea | Flannel: well, one thing that ubuntu does that debian does not is the whole do_release_upgrade thing, which, yeah, is what the update-manager covers | 00:30 |
| PokerFacePenguin | uffo: i always recommend alfa 036h to folks...its around 50 bucks and AWESOME.......that is if your marginally supported h/w must be changed | 00:30 |
| Flannel | Gnea: You can still upgrade successfully doing it manually. Certainly not catastrophic as you made it seem | 00:31 |
| Gnea | Flannel: and that's one of the primary reasons why I prefer to use ubuntu instead of debian, particularly in a production environment :) | 00:31 |

| Gnea | iShock: not sure... maybe it can't handle the driver | 00:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, Please ask your question in channel and dont direct your question to individuals that have not offered to help | 00:35 |

| iShock | Gnea, the vlc command | 00:35 |
| Gnea | iShock: eh? the vlc command is: vlc | 00:36 |

| PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn | The 71 and 96 series 3D drivers are not compatible with 8.10's xorg version. You will have to use the opensource nv driver. 8.04 still works with the legacy drivers | 00:39 |

| kitche | mordof: version of ubuntu | 00:42 |
| Gnea | iShock: have you installed it and ran it yet? | 00:42 |
| PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn | the only thing is, the release notes of ubuntu states that there is a problem with drivers 71 and 96 | 00:43 |

| iShock | Gnea yes | 00:43 |

| Uplink | Arenlor: the only problem is that my AV gonna start scanning my stuff and i have a few trojans on linux | 00:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Hckyplayer024: you have a choice, i think. resize the partition on the master, or just mount it as fat and read and write files to it as fat filesystem | 00:52 |
| Hckyplayer024 | onetinsoldier: so then I would be able to use the files on the master in both windows and ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Hckyplayer024: yes | 00:53 |
| Arenlor | Uplink: you mount it as a drive letter on Windows, so just have your AV ignore that drive. | 00:53 |
| PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn | Gnea, do I install the automatic updates once I install ubuntu 8.04 | 00:53 |
| adaptr | PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn: why install 804 ? | 00:54 |

| onetinsoldier | Hckyplayer024: if you did that then you'd have to add it to your fstab file in order for it to be automatically mounted when you boot into linux | 00:56 |

| Arenlor | Uplink: anything you want, it doesn't really matter | 00:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WebcamWonder, ie4linux is a terrible thing to do to your system | 00:58 |
| onetinsoldier | Hckyplayer024: well, uness you want to get rid of windows you'd need to resize the partition. you can have it automatically mounted as fat too as it is right now by adding it to your fstab file | 00:58 |
| onetinsoldier | !fstab | 00:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sari, Pastebin your sources list and include which release of ubuntu you are using | 00:58 |
| WebcamWonder | Jack_Sparrow: Well, that is the only viable option I have of checking the rendering of IE | 00:58 |
| Arenlor | Jack_Sparrow is it better or worse than fscking you system while mounted? | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WebcamWonder, we dont support it and #winehq wont support it.. | 00:59 |
| lfaraone | WebcamWonder: windows VM | 00:59 |

| Arenlor | Uplink: I'm not really sure, I did it all by hand when I was mounting NTFS | 01:00 |
| Arenlor | Jack_Sparrow: ie4linux | 01:00 |
| onetinsoldier | Hckyplayer024: ok, you're welcome. it may take some fiddling, but you'll probably figure it out. you'll need to make a mount point somewhere to mount the filesystem onto, probably in /media. good luck! | 01:00 |
| lfaraone | hey, is there any way to debug a computer (get a getty/console) via it's USB port? | 01:01 |

| nbeebo | omnydevi, thanks alot but i dont really understand.. | 01:38 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Oh, in order to encode to MP3 you need the one from Medibuntu | 01:38 |
| Uplink | WebcamWonder: bro i have converted files to .mp3 before... :S | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lame encoder | 01:38 |
| omnydevi | outside of the raid...doh! do you know if admdm...something like that, or dmraid? i was using dmraid. and i have my raid set in nvidia. just dmraid made my stand alone drive a broken mirror | 01:39 |
| omnydevi | heh | 01:39 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: i believe that'd be a loopback for your internet address in your host file | 01:39 |
| nbeebo | oh shi................ | 01:39 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Well, that is what my description of the package says, "This package is built with the risky option to support mp3..., there it is in Medibuntu" | 01:39 |
| omnydevi | nbeebo - right now I am on the live CD, if you have the Ubuntu CD, you can put it in, select "try ubuntu without changes to your computer" and get back on pidgin and i can walk you through the rest | 01:39 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: sure, the first one and the last one are... but the middle one? | 01:40 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: that's what the middle one is | 01:40 |
| donavan | Rivitingone: Well the depends ... I normally just tell it to use the whole drive and let the installer do what it wants to ... if you need to mess with the partitions, because your using a duel boot or something then I would look into it before you start but if its just the whole drive thing just go with what is says | 01:40 |
| biouser | so I can't get rythumbox to play cd's | 01:40 |

| Uplink | WebcamWonder: so what do i do dude? | 01:40 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: the middle one is not a loopback address | 01:40 |
| nbeebo | omnydevi, i dont think you know what my problem is sorry.. i ctrl+x a file, nautilus freezes for about 30 sec or generally slow then i cant paste it anymore--- | 01:40 |
| JairunCaloth | omnydevi: I think grub2 might be addressing that, but I'm not sure | 01:41 |
| omnydevi | @Jair - know if I disable raid in BIOS and just let Ubuntu handle it, or does it need to be up? | 01:41 |
| RivitingOne | donavan: ok sounds like a plan. Thanks for the info. | 01:41 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: rather. sorry, if you type maroon-bells it points to that ip address. instead of anything a dns server would try to resolve | 01:41 |
| donavan | Rivintingone: no problem ... happy installing | 01:41 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Are you sure you have encoded to MP3s before? | 01:41 |
| Uplink | WebcamWonder: yes sir | 01:41 |
| omnydevi | @nbeebo - I understand, is this a new install or this just start happening? | 01:41 |
| RivitingOne | why does everyone call me rivitingone when the name I see when I type is Xavier? | 01:41 |
| biouser | anyone know why I can't get rythum box to play? | 01:41 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Can you pastebin ffmpeg -formats | grep mp3 | 01:41 |
| JairunCaloth | omnydevi: if you're not useing dmraid, then yeah, you won't need the bios stuff, it'll all be in the kernel. Honestly I've never noticed a speed difference between either one. | 01:41 |
| Uplink | WebcamWonder: uplink@HP-Pavilion:/media/hd1/Users/Uplink/Downloads/National Product/Luna$ ffmpeg -i 09\ Quay.m4a -acodec mp3 -ab 128k quay.mp3 | 01:42 |

| donavan | cause your coming up in here as rivitingone | 01:42 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: normally, on the desktop version, there's just the first and third line i have in there. but i had to add that middle line to get 'sendmail' to quit complaining ;-) | 01:42 |
| Joeseph | Hi. I am trying to fix my friend's windows box. His hard drives both will not mount in Ubuntu live; they give a long error message about an unclean shutdown and NTFS being in use. I can pastebin the entire message if needbe. | 01:42 |
| omnydevi | @JairunCaloth - roger, I need the raid for Virtual Machine performance :) | 01:42 |
| JairunCaloth | omnydevi: since Nvidia's raid isn't a true hardware raid. It performs about the same as a software raid | 01:42 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: host file just overrides dns results | 01:42 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: ok, roger that | 01:42 |
| RivitingOne | donavan: odd... oh well, not for long! | 01:42 |
| nbeebo | FLeiXiuS, i think its under "services" in > sysem > administration | 01:42 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: so my guess is, your sendmail complaints are because dns isn't resolving to what it should | 01:43 |
| donavan | change your nick | 01:43 |
| omnydevi | i use a lot of vm's with xp for work, I suppose I could just say screw the raid and use each drive for a vm... | 01:43 |
| biouser | rythum box users here? | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | omnydevi, that would be a good choice | 01:43 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Hold on, that is weird, doesn't work on my PC as well.. give me a minute | 01:43 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: i beleive, sendmail uses the hosts file directly | 01:43 |
| FLeiXiuS | nbeebo: I didnt see anything in there | 01:43 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Oops, works... That was a typo | 01:43 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: as does ssh, which is why i have client and server in mine | 01:43 |
| nbeebo | FLeiXiuS, hmm lemme check im no pro but i recall it ther.e.. | 01:44 |
| Uplink | WebcamWonder: where is the typo? lol :D | 01:44 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: I wrote ffmpeg twice on my terminal :) | 01:44 |

| JairunCaloth | omnydevi: i've got mine setup as a two disk raid 0. Back when I had an Nvidia chipset I used dmraid and just had the disks with exactly the same partition layout. Then I made the first partition on one of the disks a /boot. then raided what was left. I also copyed the data in /boot to the matching partition on the other drive, for a little added protection | 01:44 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: i guess my only option at this point is to reinstall my server x.x; | 01:44 |
| manning__ | I'm trying to compile the drivers for my X-Fi soundcard and make install is hanging for some reason... no errors or anything, it just sits there. "Update module dependency relationships..." is the last thing it says and then it goes quiet. | 01:44 |

| csc__ | i am trying to remaster the ubuntu iso. the cdrom boots but In process of loading OS from ISO I receive BusyBox shell. ... mount: Mounting /dev /loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument ... | 01:46 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Try this: ffmpeg -i 09\ Quay.m4a -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k quay.mp3 | 01:46 |
| csc__ | please help me | 01:46 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: like i said, i probably wouldn't be able to help too much with this. we need more of a networking knowledgeable person | 01:46 |
| omnydevi | @Jair & Jack, thank you very much. I will try the /boot. I think I have it now, just keeps saying something or another is busy. If it doesn't work, I will just install Ubuntu on a 250gb hdd then use my other drives as just seperate storage | 01:46 |
| ssmy | Flannel: probably. | 01:46 |
| csc__ | i am on the busybox shell now and i cant mount the squasfs in anyway | 01:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | csc__, That is not within the scope of ubuntu support.. | 01:46 |

| nbeebo | sorry all, i found the files... cant see them in nautilus for some reason though | 01:46 |
| Uplink | WebcamWonder: yay! its encoding:D | 01:47 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: no.. you don't need to reinstall you server from scratch, someone can fix this. you will need patience tho | 01:47 |
| omnydevi | @nbeebo woot! you try moving them in terminal? | 01:47 |
| omnydevi | terminal is a good fallback in about any situation :) | 01:47 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: you could try the #networking channel | 01:47 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: Haha. Apparently, libmp3lame is the only library providing mp3 encoding support. I guess it depends on how the packages were built | 01:48 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: help!! | 01:48 |
| Uplink | WebcamWonder: lol ok thanx a lot dude, sweet :D | 01:48 |

| Joeseph | Hi. I am trying to recover some data from my friend's old broken Windows box. In live, I can see both his hard drives, but they will not mount. They give a long error message about an unclean shutdown and NTFS already being in use. It gives 2 options: one for windows and linux. The linux one says "You can use the 'force option for your own responsibility" , but I don't want to break his data. Any ideas? | 01:50 |
| omnydevi | brb, going to give this a whirl, glad i found this room, take care all :) | 01:50 |
| nbeebo | omnydevi, i meant everything is fine now thanks! :D happy new year! | 01:50 |
| omnydevi | @nbeebo - you too! :D | 01:50 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: what does "sudo fdisk -l" say? | 01:50 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: still here? where do you set your static ip? in /etc/networking/interfaces? | 01:51 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: no, i'm not sure exactly where i set it. hold on | 01:51 |

| GodfatherofEire | Could I get some help mapping my mouse and keyboard buttons (Please dont send !keys or !mouse, cause I've tried those and so far I've gotten nowhere because I dont know what the current keymap is) | 01:52 |
| Joeseph | Uplink: Do you want me to pastebin it? | 01:52 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: yea | 01:52 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: that file is empty for me... though i pulled up the guide. i'm wondering if it erased my network interface thing completely and that's why it's not working? | 01:52 |
| bazhang | biouser, its not clear what your problems are with rhythmbox | 01:52 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: nevermind, it's /etc/network/interfaces and yeah, it's set in there | 01:53 |
| biouser | well i'm trying to play a cd and rythum box pops up but won't play | 01:53 |
| onetinsoldier | any networking guru's here? mordof can't reach the internet on his server after trying to implement internet connection sharing on his 8.10 server version | 01:53 |

| davit | Hello I have a question about an external drive I connected it to my laptop but I am not being allowed to use or pull off any data on it because of permissions | 01:53 |
| bazhang | biouser, is it a cd with special copy protection; check the case | 01:53 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: i have an idea.. you can try it only if you want, hang on a minute | 01:54 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: i'll try anything at this point | 01:54 |
| biouser | it is store bought but i dont have the case | 01:54 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: ok, but anyway, you don't need to reinstall, believe me | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davit, You can change the permission or if this is a one time thing gksudo filemanager it | 01:54 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: i've have my server running solid for almost a year, it'll take weeks to get it back in that condition if i attempt a reinstall | 01:54 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: kk | 01:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | Could I get some help mapping my mouse and keyboard buttons (Please dont send !keys or !mouse, cause I've tried those and so far I've gotten nowhere because I dont know what the current keymap is), and it is telling me that I have 32 buttons for the mouse so I could really really use some help mapping them | 01:54 |
| Joeseph | Uplink: It'll be just a second, I have to use a flash drive to transfer the info... no internet on the other pc. | 01:55 |
| ssmy | GodfatherofEire: no one responding means no one knows. try google, or just wait a bit before trying again plz. | 01:55 |
| bazhang | biouser, is it every cd you own or just that one; what about ripping it to mp3 does that work, and if not what are the exact errors you get ---> paste.ubuntu.com with them | 01:55 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: oh man... ok just tell me if you see NTFS on the list | 01:55 |
| GodfatherofEire | ssmy, sorry, perception of time is a little off, thought I sent it longer ago than I did | 01:55 |
| davit | Jack_sparow When I goto Permissions tab It says the permissions could not be determined | 01:55 |
| lwizardl | hi | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davit, what is the format on the drive/partition | 01:56 |
| lwizardl | does anyone know if you can set rotation easily? | 01:56 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: change this line --> 127.0.1.1 ubuntu.no-domain-set.bellcanada ubuntu -to- --> <match_your_static_ip_addy> ubuntu.no-domain-set.bellcanada ubuntu ...then do invoke-rc.d networking restart | 01:56 |
| ssmy | GodfatherofEire: np. honest mistake. | 01:56 |
| davit | Jack: Under volume it shows ext3 | 01:56 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: make a backup of the hosts file first | 01:56 |
| Joeseph | Uplink: I'm working on getting internet up now, but I see no NTFS | 01:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davit, Where did the partition come from, which os etc, or was it just data | 01:57 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: even tho i think it's vroken | 01:57 |
| onetinsoldier | broken* | 01:57 |
| davit | Jack: Its an external drive just data | 01:57 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: hmm then the drive is unreadable... try putting it on a ziplog bag and put it on a freezer for a night | 01:57 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: k give me a sec | 01:57 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: ok, no hurries here, no worries | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davit, I would fsck it first.. the fact that it cant see permissions gives me cause for concern | 01:58 |
| ssmy | mordof: you should almost pastebin your problem so you can tell people what it is and what yu have tried easy. I would try to help. have succeeded in 8.04, so maybe... need more details. | 01:58 |
| biouser | bazhang, there are no error messages everthing pops up correctly it just doesn't play the songs and i'm not quite sure about mp3 I don't have one | 01:58 |
| Joeseph | Uplink: what? | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | raylu: help help help! please! :-) | 01:58 |
| mordof | ssmy: ok, give me a min k? | 01:58 |
| ltgg | during a video card install, my principal drive was trashed. Cannot mount, cannot reinstall GRUB from Live CD. testing with partition editor yields errors. is it recoverable??? | 01:58 |
| davit | Jack: How do i fsck it I never heard of that one :-p | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: ok, no problem, no hurreis | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 01:58 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: ok, no problem, no hurries | 01:58 |
| davit | Jack: in the terminal? | 01:59 |
| bazhang | biouser, no need to have a player, what happens when you try to rip the cd songs to mp3 format paste.ubuntu.com with the errors from that | 01:59 |
| krazed | davit: yeah | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davit, yes, you can man fsck for more info as needed | 01:59 |
| Joeseph | Uplink: I take that back, I see two NTFS, but they are both in the 'boot' label part of the device. | 01:59 |
| davit | Jack: | 01:59 |
| davit | davit@davit:~$ !fcsk | 01:59 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: lol thats good | 01:59 |
| davit | bash: !fcsk: event not found | 01:59 |
| krazed | davit: In terminal type "man fsck" exactly like that. | 02:00 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: no change | 02:00 |
| Joeseph | Uplink: what else could be wrong? | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davit, fsck lose the ! which we use to trigger the bot | 02:00 |

| davit | krazed Hey Jack had to go can you help me out | 02:03 |
| WebcamWonder | Joeseph: Unclean shutdowns leave the NTFS in a special state. They recommend it that you boot off it and do a clean shutdown, and then mount in Linux. I have never tried, but it might just be a precaution | 02:03 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: also, i want to say that i don't know why you haven't ended your full machine name with a . in there | 02:03 |
| Sony | Thank | 02:03 |
| Travis | ok I did as the channel suggested on installing, now it just hangs :( | 02:04 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: i had someone help me set all that up | 02:04 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: WebcamWonder is right... whenever i hibernate my windows and boot on linux the partition wont mount | 02:04 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: i don't know either | 02:04 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: roger | 02:04 |
| Joeseph | WebcamWonder, Uplink: well, I can't boot it into windows anyway--- I'll try to see if google has any suggestions for this sort of thing real quick. | 02:05 |
| Uplink | Joeseph: i forgot the name of a really good data recovery application... | 02:06 |
| Uplink | how do i delete old mountpoints? | 02:07 |
| groogy | Is there any application on synaptic for merging two libraries? | 02:07 |
| WebcamWonder | Joeseph: Most people report that it doesn't matter at all. Only the journal is directly flushed, which might cause the loss of data from about 3 seconds of the past windows | 02:07 |
| Flannel | Uplink: unmount and remove the directory | 02:08 |
| WebcamWonder | Uplink: You can just remove the directories, rmdir | 02:08 |
| Uplink | ty :D | 02:08 |
| Joeseph | WebcamWonder: What do you mean 'the loss of data from about 3 seconds of the past windows"? | 02:08 |
| onetinsoldier | mordof: have you tried #networking ? you might want to look at your /etc/resolv.conf file... /hosts.allow /hosts.deny /hostname ...and type hostname as a command to see what it returns, and there's probably more to do | 02:10 |
| CPercy | wow, large group | 02:10 |

| ubottu | williammanda: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:19 |

| raylu | ltgg: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/24940-ext3-problem-attempt-read-block-filesystem.html | 02:22 |
| raylu | eseven73: what features do you use? i'm not entirely clear what it has, actually :P | 02:23 |
| eseven73 | Various things i wont get into here cause its offtopic | 02:23 |
| raylu | williammanda: have you looked into wine? | 02:23 |
| williammanda | raylu yes...isn't that mainly based on windows 98? | 02:24 |
| ysangkok | wikipedia will tell you what the onenote contains | 02:24 |
| raylu | williammanda: um... based on? no | 02:24 |
| eseven73 | words cant describe OneNote's goodies ysangkok :) | 02:25 |
| ltgg | raylu: thanks for the link. as a Linux newbie not sure that will help me, but I'll try. | 02:25 |
| raylu | williammanda: if it were, microsoft would have sued them quita while ago | 02:25 |
| raylu | ltgg: as a warning, runlevel 1 will take down your gui | 02:25 |
| raylu | williammanda: *quite a while | 02:25 |
| williammanda | raylu ok I will try that after I load virtual box | 02:25 |
| pikario | hi, how do i remove the /lib directory? | 02:26 |
| raylu | williammanda: er, the reason i recommend it is wine is usually much faster and easier to get running than a virtual machine | 02:26 |
| williammanda | but it seemed limited before | 02:26 |
| ysangkok | hahahaha pikario: rm -rf /lib | 02:26 |
| eseven73 | pikario>> that would be a mistake | 02:26 |
| raylu | williammanda: it is :P | 02:26 |
| williammanda | k ty | 02:26 |
| simpleos | pikario: DONT! | 02:26 |
| ltgg | cocoabean: I can't access the drive: cannot mount, cannot install GRUB from Live CD. | 02:26 |
| eseven73 | omg | 02:26 |
| pikario | ? | 02:26 |
| Cocoabean | ltgg have you tried forcing the mount | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis_ | pikario, why do you want to? | 02:26 |
| simpleos | pikario: your computer NEEDS that! | 02:26 |
| eseven73 | ysangkok>> bad advice man | 02:27 |
| simpleos | it's USING it! | 02:27 |
| pikario | because i don't like it | 02:27 |
| pikario | i want to get rid of it and rename it | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis_ | pikario, dare we ask why you wish to do such a weird thing? | 02:27 |
| ysangkok | eseven73: he asked how! it wasnt advice it was fact | 02:27 |
| simpleos | Pikario: if you want to, rm -r /lib. | 02:27 |
| simpleos | But if you screw up your computer, too bad. | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis_ | thats one way to need to reinstall your OS i guess... | 02:27 |
| === kovacs is now known as xp | ||
| raylu | pikario: "i don't like it" isn't a reason to remove essential files | 02:28 |
| normloman | haha | 02:28 |
| ysangkok | pikario: learn to live with it. im sure you have bigger problems than some directory in / | 02:28 |
| * Dr_willis_ sences a troll. :) | 02:28 | |
| pikario | it just confuses me there's too many libs | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis_ | pikario, and why are you even worried about it? | 02:28 |
| pikario | there's a /usr/lib and a /var/lib and a /lib, i'd rather just get rid of them and name them something more familiar | 02:28 |
| eseven73 | Dr_willis_>> i do too | 02:28 |
| pikario | it's confusing | 02:28 |
| normloman | pikaro | 02:28 |
| normloman | its not confusing to your computer | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | pikario, and why does it matter? Whats to be confused bout? why are you even messing with those dirs anyway. | 02:29 |
| ysangkok | actually there is a distributiion that uses different names for /usr and stuff i think | 02:29 |
| normloman | there are two different libs for a reason | 02:29 |
| williammanda | raylu I can use the latest wine from the ubunut rep's? | 02:29 |
| simpleos | Ok. ln -s /prettyname /lib | 02:29 |
| raylu | williammanda: of course | 02:29 |
| raylu | simpleos: you have that backwards | 02:29 |
| simpleos | whoops! | 02:29 |
| rccu | you sucks | 02:29 |
| pikario | ok thx | 02:29 |
| normloman | pikaro, you know ubuntu is open source | 02:29 |
| normloman | you coulr take the code and rewrite it | 02:30 |
| normloman | make a lib-free version | 02:30 |
| * Dr_willis_ predicts a reinstall of the OS in the future for some Users in the channel... :) | 02:30 | |
| pikario | i could go through the source and find-replace every instance of /lib and replace it with /star? | 02:30 |
| normloman | hhah | 02:30 |
| iShock | How would I stream my webcam in Xubuntu? I can't use VLC, it doesn't detect it. | 02:30 |
| simpleos | pikaro, make a module redirecting all i/o from /lib to /pretty | 02:30 |
| normloman | yes pikaro. infact | 02:30 |
| normloman | you can replace anything you like | 02:31 |
| ysangkok | iShock: is your webcam v4l 1 or 2? | 02:31 |
| normloman | in the code | 02:31 |
| Flannel | pikario: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html explains the differences | 02:31 |
| normloman | i dont garuntee it would work... | 02:31 |
| pikario | linux for human beings | 02:31 |
| iShock | ysangkok: I don't know .. :( | 02:31 |
| pikario | not linux for obscure-named directories | 02:31 |
| normloman | yes while youre at it, you could rename "usr" to "user" | 02:31 |
| ysangkok | iShock: how do you access it? does "cheese" work? mplayer? | 02:31 |
| Flannel | pikario: They're not obscure if you know the history/reasons behind them. | 02:31 |
| normloman | and all the commands | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | pikario, sure whatever.. | 02:31 |
| raylu | pikario: they're not obscure. \windows\system32 is obscure | 02:31 |
| iShock | ysangkok: Cheese works. | 02:31 |
| normloman | rm could actually be remove | 02:31 |
| eseven73 | pikario>> look in C:\ plenty of "obscure-named directories' there too | 02:32 |
| normloman | and cd could be change directory | 02:32 |
| pikario | does sudo stand for super-user do? | 02:32 |
| miranda_psi | pikario: you can always write a kernel module that intercepts all filesystem requests and redirects all the lib requests to whereever you want them to go... | 02:32 |
| Len_ | Greetins | 02:32 |
| normloman | sudo is a kind of judpo | 02:32 |
| ysangkok | iShock it is probably v4l2 then. i have a v4l 1 webcam that only works in gqcam and mplayer | 02:32 |
| normloman | judo* | 02:32 |
| Flannel | pikario: yes. | 02:32 |

| Len_ | I have a problem that I laid out in #ubuntu-bugs and was directed to come here to ask for help . .. | 02:33 |
| ysangkok | iShock: does "mplayer -tv driver=v4l tv://" work? | 02:33 |
| winkey_ | the thing don't even show up in lspci | 02:33 |
| Cocoabean | iShock: Oh, ive been trying to get my webcam working for ages, different one though, thought id see anyways | 02:33 |
| normloman | len, whats up? | 02:33 |
| raylu | winkey_: are there unidentified devices? could you pastebin your lspci? | 02:34 |
| raylu | winkey_: also, lshw may help | 02:34 |
| Len_ | I have a problem that I am hoping to get some direction on | 02:34 |
| Len_ | <Len_>I loaded 8.10 on my daughters older computer, dual boot with Win98 SP2 | 02:34 |
| Len_ | <Len_>Booting into Ubuntu is not a problem, but when she uses Pidgen, Pidgen fails | 02:34 |
| Len_ | <Len_>She can chat a couple of times (Yahoo Messenger), and then the program simply locks up | 02:34 |
| Len_ | <Len_>Has anyone else experienced the same thing? | 02:34 |

| normloman | ive never tried that, but just as a guess | 02:34 |
| normloman | what if you uninstalled pidgin, then tried to recomile it from source | 02:35 |
| normloman | although i realize thats a pain in the but | 02:35 |
| raylu | Len_: pidgin fails randomly :P. you could try moving the .purple directory and starting over. you could also try running pidgin in a terminal and seeing if it outputs anything | 02:35 |
| raylu | !who | normloman | 02:35 |
| ubottu | normloman: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:35 |
| Len_ | Well, I'm not really familiar with nay Linux OS, yet | 02:35 |
| crimsun | Len_: there's a newer version about to enter the jaunty repository | 02:35 |
| Len_ | moving the .purple directory? | 02:35 |
| ysangkok | iShock, if you use v4l2 instead of "v4l" in the mplayer command? does it work more or less? | 02:35 |
| raylu | Len_: mv ~/.purple ~/.purple-backup | 02:35 |
| Aji-Daha1a | I have a macbook pro. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro3-1/Intrepid says that backlight buttons (f1 and f2) should work. They don't. Does anyone know what is supposed to make them work and how I could fix them? | 02:36 |
| iShock | ysangkok: Way worse. Doesn't even open. | 02:36 |
| Len_ | crimsun, I should be able to simply update PIdgen when the new version comes out? | 02:36 |
| raylu | Aji-Daha1a: no, but xev may help. run it in a terminal and press f1/f2 and see if any events are generated | 02:36 |
| Len_ | Thanks raylu. What does the .purple diretory do? | 02:36 |
| raylu | Aji-Daha1a: if no, the problem is with your X keyboard configuration | 02:36 |
| raylu | Len_: it's the directory that stores all the users' pidgin configuration data | 02:37 |
| raylu | Len_: pidgin is really just a frontend to libprple | 02:37 |
| raylu | Len_: *libpurple | 02:37 |
| Aji-Daha1a | raylu: yup, sending keycode 232 and 233 | 02:37 |
| iShock | ysangkok: Ping. | 02:37 |
| raylu | Aji-Daha1a: ok, then the issue is somewhere...else... | 02:37 |
| Len_ | Ok, thank you raylu. Once I move that, do I just reopen Pidgen? | 02:37 |
| Aji-Daha1a | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/226894 looks promising. *looks* | 02:37 |
| raylu | Len_: yes | 02:37 |
| sirstan | raylu, last time I wrote "just a front end" my code was three times larger than my library | 02:37 |
| raylu | sirstan: did it have a gui? | 02:38 |
| sirstan | raylu, the library no -- the front end was gui :) | 02:38 |
| raylu | sirstan: then it was more than "Just a front end" | 02:38 |
| ysangkok | iShock okay then i think it is v4l then . :P i know its clumsy way of determinating buts that what i did | 02:38 |
| raylu | sirstan: it was additionally a pain in the...somewhere | 02:38 |
| lgb | what is the system requirements for the latest version of ubuntu | 02:38 |
| Len_ | Sounds simple enough. I've listened to several Linux podcasts, and when her W98 OS started crashing every 15 seconds, I thought I'd give it a try. I'll give the .purple move a try, and see what happens. Thanks to everyone, have a safe New Year celebration | 02:38 |
| iShock | ysangkok: Seems to be, but the errors still remain. | 02:38 |

| lgb | @sirstan: 5gb for system files or 5gb recommended in general? | 02:39 |
| sirstan | lgb, full 8.10 install eats 4.7gb of space. | 02:40 |
| lgb | ah, I see | 02:40 |
| ysangkok | iShock: on the man page you can see some codecs that you can try. i dont have access to webcam now so i dont remember what worked. it was very obscure anyway and i had to try lots of stuff. my webcam only worked well with gqcam. mplayer was suboptimal | 02:40 |
| lgb | swap space is a bit big | 02:40 |
| sirstan | lgb: realistically .. a p2-400, 256mb ram, 20gb hd. | 02:40 |
| raylu | !xubuntu | lgb | 02:40 |
| ubottu | lgb: 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 | 02:40 |

| sirstan | lgb, its ubuntu with less memory sucking bling. | 02:41 |
| lgb | cool | 02:42 |
| ysangkok | iShock: yes your webcam is more compatible than my. mplayer works with most stuff (with the right parameters) so some parameters ought to work | 02:42 |
| sirstan | lgb, are you in the USA? | 02:42 |
| iShock | ysangkok: So cheese cannot stream it? | 02:42 |
| ysangkok | iShock: cheese uses gstreamer so other gstreamer applications ought to work as well | 02:42 |
| ysangkok | iShock: i do not think cheese includes a steamer. but cheese uses v4l so other applications ought to access it too | 02:42 |
| ysangkok | iShock: *stream | 02:43 |
| phix | yay! I found another bug in ubuntu! | 02:43 |
| lgb | yes | 02:43 |

| sirstan | http://www.xubuntu.org/get | 02:43 |
| raylu | lgb: did you see the link i gave you? | 02:43 |
| sirstan | 192mb ram, 1.5gb hd | 02:43 |
| sirstan | probably still a P2 requirement (mmx cpu) | 02:44 |
| iShock | ysangkok: Got any other way to stream it besides crying over this? | 02:44 |
| lgb | sure | 02:44 |
| sirstan | want a p2-900? :) | 02:44 |
| lgb | I did | 02:44 |
| lgb | kinda | 02:44 |
| lgb | it would be better if it were a pentium III though | 02:44 |
| sirstan | i think it is. | 02:44 |
| phix | installing on an encrypted volume, LVM, on dual boot system, when defining /boot partition grub is setup to boot off hd0,0 instead of hd0,1 and kernel for /boot/$kernel_version instead of /$kernel_version | 02:44 |

| sambagirl | it is new years eve just relax jeez | 02:47 |
| sambagirl | anyway off to church chao | 02:47 |
| iShock | ysangkok: I think so. | 02:47 |
| iShock | What the heck does this mean anyone? ioctl mcapture failed: Invalid argument | 02:47 |
| ysangkok | iShock: it means that mplayer is using the wrong parameters for accessing the webcam | 02:47 |
| sirstan | sambagirl: msgd to avoid the ops | 02:47 |
| iShock | ysangkok: What wrong params? | 02:47 |
| raylu | winkey_: it's an asus card, right? | 02:48 |
| winkey_ | raylu yea | 02:48 |
| raylu | Uplink: screen | 02:48 |
| Uplink | raylu: and then? | 02:48 |
| raylu | Uplink: or did you want ctrl+a n | 02:48 |
| Uplink | ohhh ctrl! i thought it was alt | 02:48 |
| raylu | Uplink: oh, sorry. ctrl+a c | 02:48 |
| ysangkok | iShock: its just the arguments (options) that you passed to mplayer on the command line | 02:48 |
| ysangkok | iShock: if mplayer works mencoder ought to work too | 02:49 |
| ysangkok | iShock: and mencoder can stream | 02:49 |
| raylu | Uplink: ctrl+a-n and ctrl+a-p are next and previous | 02:49 |
| Uplink | raylu: im a bit confused... im holding ctrl+a and n | 02:50 |
| Uplink | how can i tell if im in screen? and what window im in | 02:50 |
| ysangkok | iShock: see the man page http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html i got it to work by trying different values in the "outfmt" field | 02:50 |
| raylu | Uplink: the - means "and then", not "with" | 02:51 |
| raylu | Uplink: so press "ctrl+a" first, then "c" | 02:51 |
| iShock | ysangkok: What commands should I use for mencoder? | 02:51 |
| Uplink | raylu: ok ty ^^ | 02:51 |
| ysangkok | iShock: if you use -tv outfmt=help you will get a list of outfmt's | 02:51 |
| raylu | winkey_: PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation Device 05b1 | 02:51 |
| raylu | winkey_: er, oops | 02:51 |
| raylu | winkey_: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh | 02:51 |
| raylu | winkey_: run that, please | 02:51 |
| ysangkok | iShock: the command for mencoder is nearly the same as for mplayer | 02:51 |
| raylu | winkey_: wait... http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh | 02:51 |
| ysangkok | iShock: but only try to stream once you have playback working in mplayer | 02:51 |
| raylu | Uplink: and as far as whether or not you're in screen, ctrl+a-d will get you out | 02:52 |
| iShock | ysangkok: What would you suggest? | 02:53 |
| ysangkok | iShock: try different values in the outfmt field | 02:53 |
| ysangkok | iShock: also try different height and widths, like 640x480 and 320x240 | 02:54 |
| arpad | btw my xorg problem turned out to be xgl not liking xinerama over 3 monitors in 8.10, temporarily solved by disabling xgl. cheers for the help | 02:55 |

| raylu | winkey_: wow. i have no idea then | 02:56 |
| mordof | ok... onetinsoldier: atm i`m on my server, i plugged it directly into my modem | 02:57 |
| winkey_ | raylu if it don't show up in lspci couldn't we assume the thing is off or disabled somehow? | 02:57 |
| ysangkok | iShock: make sure you have the newest mplayer. i had crashes too but i found the parameters to get it working with no crashing. | 02:57 |
| iShock | Anyone got a fix for this? | 02:57 |
| iShock | ioctl mcapture failed: Invalid argument | 02:57 |
| mordof | onetinsoldier: so it`s an issue with routing between my router and modem - only for my server.. which is really odd | 02:58 |
| ysangkok | iShock: you can try to build mplayer from source with debug flags. you can make backtrace and see if its a mplayer bug | 02:58 |
| williammanda | anyone use the nokia internet tablet 800 or newer? | 02:58 |

| winkey_ | raylu not me personally, over at a neighbors, he said it worked on win | 03:00 |
| ysangkok | iShock: but as i said, i got it working even though it crashed with some parameters. try changing width and height. | 03:00 |
| ysangkok | iShock goodnight | 03:00 |

| GodfatherofEire | Question, what are we supposed to do if our keyboard doesnt exactly have a sysrq key? | 03:49 |
| Flannel | GodfatherofEire: try printscreen, it may just not be labeled sysrq | 03:49 |
| onetinsoldier | keanu: in that last shot, do you have the video at full screen? you just wanted me to see the interface, right? | 03:50 |
| keanu | lumpycam, tried all three under "Native" - all the same | 03:50 |
| keanu | onetinsoldier, yes, it's in full screen | 03:50 |
| onetinsoldier | keanu: ok, now, it looks win98'ish due to what myconid said. so how that menu bar looks will depend on what window manager you are using | 03:51 |
| csc_ | bazhang, actually i have an issue related to squashfs: i have done a customized livecd, but it breaks after initramsfs. basically casper.log says it cannot mount the squashfs file as a loopback device because of an "invalid argument". it's interesting to know that i can mount it manually from the remastered os, but not from within busybox, as i said | 03:51 |

| sheena1 | i have an avi file that plays on VLC, but no sound. after last time (MP3 issue that was easily solved by converting to a free format), i thought I'd try that first, but now I just have an ogv file with no sound. i'm sure this is an ubuntu issue, as i'm confident this file plays on others' computers. | 03:51 |
| GodfatherofEire | Flannel no such luck | 03:51 |
| bazhang | csc_, why would you want squashfs | 03:52 |
| onetinsoldier | keanu: <myconid> keanu, it uses the window manager UI elements. myconid it looks different under gnome/kde/xfce | 03:52 |
| Flannel | GodfatherofEire: Are you holding left-alt? | 03:52 |
| earthmeLon | sheena1, does your computer play other sounds? | 03:52 |
| dexi | getting "problem with audio playback" skype error, and "could not open ... | 03:52 |
| bazhang | sheena1, install w32codecs yet? | 03:52 |
| sheena1 | yep. only problem before was playing mp3s. It plays AVIs that i've downloaded off my camera, and youtube, and OGG music, and dvds (both from the dvd and from my computer) | 03:53 |
| earthmeLon | sheena1, add to your question "I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras" so people dont ask if you've got the codecs installed | 03:53 |
| bazhang | csc_, are you doing this manually or with one of the tools provided | 03:53 |
| sheena1 | sorry earth. thanks for the tip | 03:53 |
| csc_ | bazhang, because the fs is compressed | 03:53 |
| csc_ | bazhang, i am using remastersys | 03:53 |
| earthmeLon | Np, just trying to keep you from having to answer the same question 100 times sheena1 :P | 03:54 |

| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 03:54 |
| csc_ | bazhang, it worked at first: i installed 8.10, i customized my desktop, i remsterized it with remastersys. OK. then i installed back to hd, i modified the os again, i tried to remaster it again , but i encountered that problem: it cannot mount the squashfs | 03:54 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | Flannel: Still nothin | 03:54 |
| bazhang | sheena1, you went to medibuntu and installed the package? | 03:55 |
| sheena1 | i used add/remove | 03:55 |
| sheena1 | i did it some time ago, maybe a few months | 03:55 |
| csc_ | bazhang, but can uck remaster the os on the cd with _all_ the changes? | 03:55 |
| bazhang | sheena1, medibuntu is not in add/remove | 03:55 |
| sheena1 | oh | 03:55 |
| sheena1 | what is that? .. sorry | 03:55 |

| Arenlor | does anyone know what to put a bug against when the current dist is not in the meta-release file? | 03:56 |
| bazhang | csc_, best to do it all in one go, sounds like your second round of remastering is catching you out | 03:56 |
| rivitingone | I am having troubles installing 8.10. I have gotten to the point where it sets up the partitions. I select use whole HDD and then, after a few seconds it reboots and the CD kicks at the menu again. | 03:56 |
| csc_ | bazhang, basically i want to be able to remaster and install on a device **recursevely** without loosing the changes.. is it possible with uck ? | 03:56 |
| earthmeLon | Hey guys, in order to access a samba share from my Ubuntu machine in the terminal, do I have to mount it? | 03:56 |
| keanu | onetinsoldier, I'm using gnome - is it possible i'm missing a library or something? | 03:56 |
| sheena1 | okay. i found the site. umm.. what do i need to do? do i need to get each one individually? | 03:57 |
| bazhang | csc_, you basically want a persistent live cd? | 03:57 |
| earthmeLon | csc_ take your cd out of the drive man :D | 03:57 |
| bazhang | sheena1, whom are you addressing? put their nick in your question | 03:57 |
| csc_ | bazhang, yes, but why the second round is it different from the first one? basically the second time could not mount the squashfs , while the first time it could | 03:57 |
| Brandon1 | Anyone got a minute for a problem I encountered after using wubi installer? | 03:57 |
| onetinsoldier | keanu: hmmm, now that is interesting. using any custom theme or anything? are you in compiz? or metacity? i doubt your missing a lib | 03:58 |
| earthmeLon | csc_ after you've installed from the cd, remove it and put it in another room. Then reboot the machine | 03:58 |
| sheena1 | bazhang, sorry. there's a guide on the site, i'm working through that now | 03:58 |
| keanu | onetinsoldier, custom theme, no compiz (or very little) as far as i know | 03:58 |
| earthmeLon | Is there a way to access samba shares from the terminal? (without mounting them?) | 03:59 |
| myerkx | Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me with my Video Card, When it is installed, Ubuntu wont boot (Clean Unstall) - The card is the EVGA 9400 GT - It hangs on the boot screen | 03:59 |

| lumpycam | keanu: it's the theme, is my guess. like onetinsoldier mentioned. | 03:59 |
| earthmeLon | myerkx have you tried using EnvyNG? | 03:59 |
| jtier | Hi guys, is there a way to sniff hub traffic using netstat? I want find out number of connections all users have open | 03:59 |
| keanu | lumpycam, k, thanks | 03:59 |
| csc_ | bazhang, not exactly. i do not want a persistent live cd.. i want a livecd that can install itself on an hd (without persistent modifications, as the cd wirtes everything in memory). ok. FURTHERMORE i want to be able to remaster the hd and all its modification back to the a livecd again. remasterys could do that the first "round", but not the second, because of a damn mounting problem with squashfs | 03:59 |
| onetinsoldier | keanu: could be the custom theme... might have changed the window decorator. i'm not sure. and i'm not sure how high of visual settings you'd need for compiz, but i wouldn't think that would matter. yes, the theme is my guess too | 04:00 |

| sheena1 | lumpycam: wheres' synaptic? | 04:11 |
| mordof | how do i exec something so someone in msg can see the outputÉ | 04:11 |
| onetinsoldier | eightyeight: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 5) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (for example --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop <-- this will shut down x-windows completely) | 04:11 |
| sheena1 | lumpycam: found it! | 04:11 |
| onetinsoldier | eightyeight: 6) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in your users home directory) 7) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old | 04:11 |
| onetinsoldier | 8) sudo cp -v /home/your_user_name/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:11 |
| mordof | nevermind | 04:11 |
| lumpycam | sheena1: system - admin - synaptic package manager, or use aptitude or apt-get | 04:11 |
| earthmeLon | mordof what client are you using? with irssi you do /exec -o COMMAND | 04:11 |
| mordof | earthmeLon: irssi :) | 04:12 |

| lumpycam | mordof: /exec -o command [caution] | 04:12 |
| eightyeight | onetinsoldier: there is no xorg.conf in ~ | 04:12 |
| lumpycam | mordof: be in that particular window, irssi may be tricky in msgs | 04:13 |
| onetinsoldier | eightyeight: did you run Xorg -configure ? | 04:13 |
| eightyeight | onetinsoldier: yeah | 04:13 |
| onetinsoldier | eightyeight: check /root | 04:13 |
| onetinsoldier | eightyeight: you should get a message, a response, when you run Xorg -configure | 04:13 |
| eightyeight | onetinsoldier: not there either | 04:13 |
| sheena1 | lumpycam: it isnt there. that means i didnt download it accidentally? | 04:14 |

| untermensch | jimi_hendrix: is that the only way? it's a laptop. | 04:28 |
| lumpycam | untermensch: try f12, it uses to work | 04:28 |
| jimi_hendrix | untermensch, idk...i hate macs and never owned one | 04:28 |
| untermensch | jimi_hendrix: hehe, it's for someone else actually. I hate them too. | 04:29 |
| jimi_hendrix | lol | 04:29 |
| untermensch | lumpycam: it's not f12 | 04:29 |
| jimi_hendrix | for example...1 mouse button | 04:29 |
| Lexda | Does it even have a right click button, or is it one of those monobar things? | 04:29 |
| untermensch | Lexda: stupid monobar | 04:29 |
| Lexda | Mighty Mouse ftw! | 04:29 |
| Lexda | Heh. If it's a monobar, well, not sure if it has a right click functionality. | 04:30 |
| untermensch | o wow, tat's stupid | 04:30 |
| washburnello | mighty mouse is supposed to have 2 button emulaton | 04:30 |
| Lexda | Later MMs have 2 button emulation. | 04:30 |
| washburnello | cause it's touch sensative | 04:30 |
| washburnello | I see | 04:30 |
| Lexda | As well as a crapload of other actions that get really bloody annoying until you turn them off. | 04:30 |
| washburnello | I'm not a mac guy btw | 04:30 |
| washburnello | heh | 04:31 |
| untermensch | Lexda: yes i'm noticing. | 04:31 |
| lumpycam | untermensch: fn+f2 i dunno | 04:31 |
| Lexda | untermensch, what happens if you hold ctrl and click? | 04:31 |
| untermensch | Lexda: i was just about to try that ;P | 04:32 |
| untermensch | Lexda: she found the game section... This could take a while. | 04:32 |
| Lexda | The Add/Remove thing? Heh. | 04:33 |
| Lexda | I had lotsa fun with that one... | 04:33 |
| ljc | hoho | 04:33 |
| ljc | happy new year! | 04:33 |
| Lexda | I'm a fan of Konquest and 20,000 Lightyears into Space, personally. | 04:33 |
| ghost3 | eightyeight ok there is a setting in gconf /app/compiz/general/screen0/options/refresh_rate don't ask me where this is on the file system im not sure. | 04:33 |
| Lexda | Both more puzzle games than action or anything, and both can get incredibly annoying... | 04:33 |
| ljc | 20000 lightyears into space | 04:33 |
| click170 | Does the printer configuration app only check credentials in local files when it asks for your password when you create a new printer? | 04:34 |
| jimi_hendrix | do i have to do anything special when building ndiswrapper from source? | 04:34 |
| jimi_hendrix | wait is there a .deb for ndiswrapper? | 04:34 |
| untermensch | jimi_hendrix: probably | 04:34 |
| PhoneSupport | Where can I get telephone software for my Intrepid? I'm not looking for a sip phone, I want a regular telephone where I can dial out from my pc modem please? | 04:34 |
| eightyeight | ghost3: i think i found it | 04:35 |
| PhoneSupport | I have the driver, I'd like the telephone software please so that I can use a telephone on my pc. Not a sip phone | 04:35 |
| ghost3 | my fingers are crossed | 04:35 |
| eightyeight | ghost3: ~/.config/monitors.xml | 04:35 |
| Lexda | untermensch, did it work yet? | 04:35 |
| eightyeight | ghost3: <rate>75</rate> | 04:35 |
| eightyeight | ghost3: changed to 60, and i'm at my desktop | 04:35 |
| ghost3 | ;) | 04:35 |
| \slash | ubuntu rox! | 04:36 |
| untermensch | Lexda: no. :( | 04:36 |
| Lexda | I think I might be onto something, give me a min... | 04:36 |
| alerj16 | oii | 04:37 |
| untermensch | Lexda: awesome :) | 04:37 |
| alerj16 | hii | 04:37 |
| Lexda | untermensch, try this: http://www.viraj.org/b2evolution/blogs/index.php/2006/08/20/ubuntu_on_my_powerbook (Obstacle #3) | 04:38 |
| lumpycam | untermensch: you have a touchpad? tap twice | 04:39 |
| Lexda | Thought tapping twice was just the equivalent of a doubleclick? | 04:39 |
| Shadow_Hunter91 | Yes it is :) | 04:40 |
| idea4good | hi my wireless network doesnt help can anyone please help me | 04:40 |
| Lexda | idea4good, please explain more. | 04:40 |
| Gnea | idea4good: it's still broken? | 04:40 |
| shivamib | tapping twice on a touchpad right now would be incredibly difficult | 04:41 |
| Lexda | (For what it's worth, wireless networks can be a real pain in the ass to set up in 8.10 even...I really hope that's something they improve upon in future versions...) | 04:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Lexda: what is hard about it exactly? | 04:41 |
| idea4good | i am using 7.10 intel pro wireless 3945 abg | 04:41 |
| Gnea | Lexda: please do watch your lanuage in here. Believe it or not, we do get younger people in here. | 04:42 |
| Lexda | Gnea, my apologies. Won't happen again. | 04:42 |
| idea4good | ok the problem is my wireless is bein shown by network manager with good signal strenght | 04:43 |
| Gnea | idea4good: why not 8.04 or 8.10? | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | 7.10 ? | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | maybe that was a typo | 04:43 |
| ghost3 | wow | 04:43 |
| idea4good | Gnea : | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | anyway - continue | 04:43 |
| Lexda | Cpudan80, just that they aren't plug 'n' play like in Windows. To get mine to work I had to do quite a bit of finegalling, and culminated in me having to hook it up to a wired connection to get the required stuff (Windows Wireless Drivers). | 04:43 |
| idea4good | it was working ine efore | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | Lexda: oh your talking about the drivers -- yeah thats a pain | 04:43 |
| Gnea | idea4good: do you have access to the router directly? | 04:43 |
| idea4good | i just added a new wirless network | 04:44 |
| idea4good | and hten it broke | 04:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Lexda: I thought you meant configuring the SSID and stuff | 04:44 |
| Lexda | Oh. No, not at all, that was thankfully automatic. | 04:44 |
| idea4good | new wireless is secured Yes i haave access ot router | 04:44 |
| jimi_hendrix | Lexda, ok so i installed the driver | 04:44 |
| GodfatherofEire2 | Anybody know how to grab the IDs of mouse buttons, cause I cant seem to get mine quite working right. | 04:44 |
| jimi_hendrix | now do i hit configure network? | 04:44 |
| Gnea | idea4good: have you tried resetting the router? | 04:44 |
| idea4good | yes | 04:44 |
| Lexda | Nope | 04:44 |
| Lexda | That didn't do anything for me. | 04:45 |
| idea4good | ok FYI when i do sudo dhclient wlan0 | 04:45 |
| Gnea | idea4good: which router do you have? linksys? | 04:45 |
| Lexda | Jimi_Hendrix, look at your system tray. | 04:45 |
| jimi_hendrix | Lexda, ya | 04:45 |
| Lexda | Your 'net connection thing. Click on it once. Does a Wireless connection appear? | 04:45 |
| idea4good | it says no such device found . Also i have linksys WRT56GS v7 | 04:46 |
| jimi_hendrix | Lexda, no | 04:46 |
| Lexda | 1 sec | 04:46 |
| Gnea | idea4good: could you please pastebin the output of the following commands: ip l and iwconfig | 04:47 |
| jimi_hendrix | do we have a wireless branch irc channel i can go to get specified help? | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | eightyeight: hello, i'm back | 04:47 |
| idea4good | sure | 04:48 |
| Lexda | Ok, Jimi_Hendrix, when you go System > Administration > Windows Wireless Driver, what shows in the window? | 04:48 |
| Gnea | jimi_hendrix: no, we handle that here | 04:48 |
| Jindi | anyone running vmware wkstation 6.5? | 04:48 |
| Gnea | Jindi: what's your problem with it? | 04:48 |
| jimi_hendrix | bcmwlhigh6 \n Hardware present: Yes | 04:48 |
| Jindi | I am running a VM from a USB drive and it's dog-slow. I know there is a vmx param which can alleviate this issues but I can't locate it anywhere | 04:49 |
| idea4good | gnea: good news | 04:49 |
| Lexda | Ok, Jimi_Hendrix, select it and hit "Remove Driver." | 04:49 |
| idea4good | i was able to connect to my open network | 04:49 |
| Gnea | Jindi: want to know a well-known secret? | 04:49 |
| Lexda | Essentially, reinstall it. | 04:49 |
| Lexda | For whatever reason I had to install mine twice. | 04:50 |
| Gnea | idea4good: ah ok. :) | 04:50 |
| idea4good | i was dumb in the sense i was looking for wrong interface instead of eth1 | 04:50 |
| Lexda | Just for laughs try it and see if it works. | 04:50 |
| Jindi | pls. don't tell me to run it on local hd | 04:50 |
| Kinetic | anyone use the Dvorak keyboard layout? <--- curious | 04:50 |
| idea4good | but now i would like to use 2nd wireless | 04:50 |
| jimi_hendrix | Lexda, how do i know if i have x64 | 04:50 |
| jimi_hendrix | i think i do but im double checking | 04:50 |
| onetinsoldier | jimi_hendrix: uname -m | 04:51 |
| Gnea | Jindi: but it's true! USB is sloooowww, especially virtualization. 2.0 *might* help, but it won't really be a viable solution until 3.0 is out there | 04:51 |
| ghost3 | is usb 3.0 in the works? | 04:51 |
| jimi_hendrix | Lexda, still nothing | 04:51 |
| Gnea | ghost3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_3.0 | 04:52 |
| Jindi | you're gonna knock me in the teeth for saying this but I just moved from Ubu Intrepid from XP. While on XP i was able to run the VM from usb just fine. There has to be a way! | 04:52 |
| ghost3 | gnea thanks | 04:52 |
| Jindi | but, thanks for your time | 04:52 |
| * shivamib knocks Jindi in the teeth just to be sure | 04:52 | |
| ghost3 | lol | 04:53 |
| Jindi | gee thanks | 04:53 |
| Lexda | Jimi_Hendrix, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 04:53 |
| Lexda | What shows up? | 04:53 |
| Lexda | Anything? | 04:53 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I get: 'fixme:keyboard:RegisterHotKey ((nil),0,0x00000001,9): stub' When trying to run a full screen application in wine, any suggestions? | 04:53 |
| Gnea | Jindi: hrmmm | 04:53 |

| Xx_Gaara_xX | Ok..i need help anyone know how to convert .Ogg file video codec theora..? I'm super confused | 04:54 |
| Lexda | Hm. Ok, that's not what we want. | 04:54 |
| Gnea | Jindi: do you mean that the actual vmx files are ON the usb drive? and is it a hard drive or a flash drive? | 04:55 |
| Lexda | Honestly, I don't really know. I'm just trying the same steps I went through, and somehow mine finally worked. | 04:55 |
| ghost3 | xx_gaara_xx oggconvert | 04:55 |
| Jindi | the vmx AND the VMDK | 04:55 |
| Gnea | Xx_Gaara_xX: do you want to convert *to* ogg theora or *from* ogg theora to something else? | 04:55 |
| Lexda | System > Preferences > Network Configuration | 04:56 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | ogg theora to something else preferably avi | 04:56 |
| Lexda | Try and manually connect to your network. | 04:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I get: 'fixme:keyboard:RegisterHotKey ((nil),0,0x00000001,9): stub' When trying to run a full screen application in wine, any suggestions? | 04:56 |
| Gnea | Xx_Gaara_xX: try avidemux | 04:56 |
| Lexda | Although I doubt that's it... | 04:56 |
| Jindi | while I have you attention - can someone help with a video issue? I am getting this strange issue with artifacts or god knows what they are called. sections of any text on my screen - be it firefox or a text doc or even this chat window is all skewed. If I move the window around it temporarily fixes it | 04:56 |
| Gnea | CoUrPsE|DeAd: what application? | 04:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Gnea, Kingpin.exe | 04:57 |
| Jindi | If i change the refresh rate it helps but only for a short while | 04:57 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | gnea: ok thanks but how can i get if from add/remove app | 04:57 |
| Gnea | CoUrPsE|DeAd: where'd you get it from? | 04:57 |
| Gnea | Jindi: what video card do you have and what driver are you using? | 04:57 |
| kantxx | what wireless manager should i install for ubuntu?? | 04:57 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | its a game, from a disk. | 04:57 |
| Jindi | nvidia with the nvidia drivers | 04:58 |
| Jindi | dual-mon too | 04:58 |
| Kragnerac | TWO MINUTES REMAINING | 04:58 |
| Gnea | Jindi: okay, which model# and which version of the driver? | 04:58 |
| kantxx | anyone?? | 04:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Fifa09.exe doesnt even do anything, it runs the app with no errors, but then i get nothing. | 04:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | has wine got a log file somewhere i can look? | 04:58 |
| * Gnea points and laughs... it's almost 11pm here | 04:58 | |
| Jindi | sorry. there is a command I can run to get this...would you happen to know | 04:58 |
| Gnea | ahem. | 04:58 |

| ghost3 | is there a fix for the January 19, 2038 linux bug? http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Is_Not_Y2K_38_Compliant | 05:05 |

| idea4good | ok when i do iwlist scan i can see my new network which i want to connect | 05:08 |
| Gnea | idea4good: do you think that killing it might trap invalid information in the database, thus causing it to work even worse next time? | 05:08 |

| tyl3r | Hi all. I have small problems with my WLAN under Ubuntu Intrepid. Sometimes, maybe once an hour, it fails for about one minute. I cannot send any traffic successfully then. Dmesg is then writing about 10 or 20 entries like this until it works again: [ 1495.716713] TKIP: RX tkey->key_idx=1 frame keyidx=2 priv=f0fbe9c0 | 05:15 |
| ghost3 | oh | 05:15 |

| Guest63949 | i dont know who helped me ... caus its text everywhere.. and i donno how to scroll in this, but the dpkg-reconfigure dint gave me anything abt any resolution settings.. just kb and mouse n stuff | 05:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | onetinsoldier, pm me the xorg info you want in a factoid | 05:15 |

| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: roger, i'll do. it's too long though i think | 05:16 |
| raylu | Guest63949: Gnea was helping you | 05:16 |
| mattycoze | is Hcitool even available in the 8.10 distro? | 05:16 |
| maximus_1 | how does one even /use/ a source deb? | 05:17 |
| Gnea | kantxx: as I tried to tell you before you left earlier, there is already a wireless manager with ubuntu | 05:17 |
| jimmio | nickrud: Hmm...? It's like missing audio data in the recording... driving me nuts, not to mention pulseaudio just crashed as I was running a game in Blender and exited... | 05:17 |
| kantxx | Gnea: what is it?? | 05:17 |
| kantxx | Gnea: just see the manual config one | 05:18 |
| Guest63949 | ahhh! can anyone give me a good console irc... so i can scroll text and whatever | 05:18 |
| Gnea | kantxx: are you familiar with the network manager icon on the upper-right on the desktop? | 05:18 |
| nickrud | jimmio, I probably shouldn't even talk about pulseaudio, it makes the veins in my head pulse | 05:18 |
| kantxx | Gnea: yes but it doesnt detect networks | 05:18 |
| kantxx | Gnea: i have to manually enter the info | 05:18 |
| Gnea | kantxx: if your wireless card is configured correctly, then detected networks will show up there when you click on it | 05:18 |
| raylu | Guest63949: you could try irssi, but i'm sure ircII has a way to scroll. try pageup or ctrl+f/ctrl+b | 05:19 |
| Gnea | kantxx: try enabling the broadcast of your ssid | 05:19 |
| Tom_1223 | How do I create/renew ath0? I've got eeexubuntu and after a reboot, iwconfig shows only eth0 and lo, no ath0 or other wireless capable devices. | 05:19 |
| kantxx | Gnea: its a broadcom bcm4311 and it works if i manually enter info | 05:19 |
| Guest63949 | raylu didnt work.. lol | 05:19 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: sudo ifup ath0 | 05:19 |
| Kinetic | Guest63949: Kvirc is very good | 05:19 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: but that's probably not going to help you | 05:19 |
| mattycoze | can anyone tell me what this means? "hcid: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 05:20 |
| mattycoze | i get the same error for hcitools | 05:20 |
| Guest63949 | k.. brb.. gonna try irssi | 05:20 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: why not? | 05:20 |
| Gnea | kantxx: don't know what to suggest then. | 05:20 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: oh, you already had it set up, nevermind. | 05:20 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: the issue could be that your modprobe.d isn't configured correctly | 05:20 |
| kantxx | Gnea: .. | 05:20 |
| Gnea | kantxx: i've tried doing it manually as well, and it sort of works, but really, it seems to just work right when the ssid is enabled to broadcast | 05:20 |
| root | this is more like it.. its even in color.. the irssi :P | 05:21 |
| === root is now known as Guest61861 | ||
| kantxx | Gnea: it is set to broadcast | 05:21 |
| Gnea | kantxx: does it show up with an iwlist scan? | 05:21 |
| kantxx | Gnea: yes | 05:21 |
| Jindi | anyone avail to help with a video issue? | 05:21 |
| kantxx | Gnea: the network manager doesnt even list any networks | 05:21 |
| raylu | !anyone | Jindi | 05:21 |
| ubottu | Jindi: 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? | 05:21 |
| mattycoze | can anyone tell me what this means? "hcid: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", I get the same error for hcitools. | 05:21 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: sudo ifup ath0 failed with "Ignoring unknown interface ath0=ath0" | 05:22 |
| Jindi | solid advice. thanks | 05:22 |
| raylu | mattycoze: try reinstalling libbluetooth | 05:22 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: when you set it up, did you have to mess with modprobe? | 05:22 |
| Guest61861 | well.. guess i ask again.. sorry for bothering... but i couldnt scroll in the other irc client.. how can i configure my x server so it forces a resolution.. caus its prob too high.. caus i cant shee shit when i start x... | 05:22 |
| mattycoze | raylu what repo is it listed on; my synaptic can't; find it | 05:22 |
| raylu | Guest61861: pageup works in irssi, that i'm sure of | 05:22 |
| eseven73 | Guest61861>> irssi is cool, if you do the /set command you;ll see like a billion settings for it too and the '/lastlog <search word goes here>' is priceless :) | 05:22 |
| Gnea | kantxx: how good is the quality? | 05:22 |
| Guest61861 | raylu: yeah it did... | 05:22 |
| kantxx | Gnea: fine.. | 05:22 |
| mattycoze | raylu, i remember having that once on an earlier distro like 7.10 | 05:22 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: Nope. It worked out of the box, could scan wireless networks and connect easily enough. Used it a couple days ago, shut it down, started today and it's completely lost ath0. | 05:22 |
| Gnea | kantxx: no, what *is* it? | 05:23 |
| GodfatherofEire | so nobody knows how I might find out the ID for the mouse buttons | 05:23 |
| kantxx | Gnea: 86/100 | 05:23 |
| dexi | hey guys im getting realllly crappy download speeds on linux... any ideas? | 05:23 |
| waaazuuuup | Anyone have experience with quake 3 version 1.16n? | 05:23 |
| raylu | mattycoze: libbluetooth3 is in the base repositories. http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libbluetooth3 | 05:23 |

| mattycoze | raylu thanks. | 05:23 |
| kantxx | Gnea: the network manager just doesnt show wireless networks at all | 05:23 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: oh... that's strange | 05:23 |
| kantxx | Gnea: i coulda sworn there was something for that | 05:23 |
| Jindi | I am running an Nvidia Gforce 7900 with 256 MB with Dual display. I am also running the nvdia xserver settings. my problem is that i am getting lots of artifacts on my screen. text is partially unreadable, etc | 05:23 |
| maco | kantxx: what about "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" (replace wlan0 with your wireless nic) | 05:24 |
| Guest61861 | raylu: u know how i can force a res for the x server ? caus it wont show anything for me. its set to a res my screen cant handle | 05:24 |
| mattycoze | raylu apparently libbluetooth3 is already installed :? | 05:24 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: you're telling me! | 05:24 |
| kantxx | maco: the wireless card is fine | 05:24 |
| maco | Guest61861: "xrandr -s 1024x768" or whatever resolution you want | 05:24 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: what card is i? | 05:24 |
| maco | kantxx: so you can see the networks in the terminal but not in nm? | 05:24 |
| kantxx | maco: network-manager just isnt SHOWING networks.. i can ADD them myself manually | 05:24 |
| raylu | Guest61861: you could try "X -configure" | 05:24 |
| raylu | mattycoze: ...that's why i told you to reinstall it | 05:25 |
| dexi | abnormally slow speeds? anyone? like 21kb/s slow... | 05:25 |
| raylu | mattycoze: sudo aptitude reinstall libbluetooth3 | 05:25 |
| kantxx | maco: it doesnt show anything | 05:25 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: Atheros 5700 wi-fi card. Standard with EEE PC 900 | 05:25 |
| BinaryBoy001 | How do I get the best quality rip(high bit rate) of a music CD when I use sound juicer? How do I change the bit rate?? | 05:25 |
| maco | kantxx: can you see them in the terminal? | 05:25 |
| kantxx | maco: i can add a profile | 05:25 |
| kantxx | maco: yes | 05:25 |
| maco | kantxx: do they by any chance have hidden ssids? | 05:25 |
| Gnea | maco: he can do wifi from the commandline but the gui is all broken | 05:25 |
| kantxx | maco: no | 05:25 |
| maco | kantxx: which version of ubuntu? | 05:26 |
| kantxx | Gnea: yes.. theres no wireless manager 8.10 | 05:26 |
| kantxx | Gnea: network manager shows the card and lets me add the configs | 05:26 |
| Gnea | kantxx: and, as I told you, it's built into NetworkManager | 05:26 |
| Guest61861 | raylu: ok.. well it printed alot of text. sorry for being a pain.. but how do i scroll in console? caus the last couple of lines didnt make sense | 05:26 |
| mattycoze | raylu oh okay; well i've reinstalled it but the same issue presides. | 05:26 |
| maco | kantxx: right click on the NM applet and hit "edit connections..." to get to what Gnea's talking about | 05:26 |
| mattycoze | reckon it's a bug?> | 05:26 |
| kantxx | netapplet isnt installed | 05:27 |
| maco | kantxx: its not called netapplet | 05:27 |
| Guest61861 | and maco the xrandr said it couldnt open display | 05:27 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: lsmod | grep ath | 05:27 |
| Gnea | Jindi: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please? | 05:27 |
| pidus | yesterday while i had an external HDD connected, and data being transferred without any problems there was a power failure. Since then whenever i connect the HDD the hotplugin(automount) point to the local HDD and when i try to manually mount /dev/sdb1 the prompt shows up I/O error, even though the disk is getting mounted perfectly on a mac machine. | 05:27 |
| maco | Guest61861: oh you have to already be in X to do it | 05:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: Shift+Page Up and Shift+Page down | 05:27 |
| raylu | Guest61861: shift+pageup | 05:27 |
| crimsun | mattycoze: yes. the program was compiled against an older libbluetooth-dev that provides an older library. | 05:27 |
| maco | Guest61861: it lets you change your running X settings | 05:27 |
| pidus | this is the error message that shows up when trying to mount using sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 external/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/97365/ | 05:27 |
| dexi | Does anyone know what could be the cause of really slow downloads? | 05:27 |
| Guest61861 | allright. | 05:27 |
| crimsun | mattycoze: the program needs to be compiled against the newer libbluetooth-dev. | 05:27 |
| BinaryBoy001 | when using sound juicer to rip a music CD, should VBR quality be set high or low? 10 or 0, which is better? | 05:27 |
| mattycoze | crimsun ahh; | 05:28 |
| maco | kantxx: it's the little applet with 2 little computers in the notification area | 05:28 |
| pidus | is there no way to fix this problem..without going to windows? | 05:28 |
| MindVirus | Is the google app engine in the repos? | 05:28 |
| raylu | mattycoze: no idea. i'd consider purging both the app you're using and libbluetooth and installing again.. otherwise, i have no idea, sounds like a packaging error | 05:28 |
| kantxx | maco: thats the one.. i go to the wireless tab and can add the ssid info manually.. just no listing of scanned networks | 05:28 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: lsmod | grep ath returns nothing and iwconfig still returns only eth0 and lo | 05:28 |
| raylu | crimsun: the package should depend on a newer version | 05:28 |
| Guest61861 | raylu: ok.. somethings wrong lol.. caus it doesnt scroll. lol. i think i got big problems :P | 05:28 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: sudo modprobe ath_pci | 05:28 |
| Gnea | !networkmanager | 05:28 |
| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 05:28 |
| mattycoze | crimsun how do i do that? | 05:28 |
| crimsun | raylu: (correct, it is a packaging error due to when the source package was compiled) | 05:28 |
| raylu | Guest61861: i get the feeling you're doing it wron | 05:28 |
| raylu | g | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: did you changes tty's? | 05:29 |
| maco | pidus: you can force it to mount, but it's possible you'll lose data because you didnt unmount it properly in windows | 05:29 |
| MindVirus | Is the google app engine in the repos? | 05:29 |
| dexi | Jack_Sparrow: you chilling around here? | 05:29 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: sudo modprobe ath_pci returns: "FATAL: Module ath_pci not found." | 05:29 |
| kantxx | hmmm | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: did you change tty's? move between any tty terminals before trying to scroll up and down? | 05:29 |
| mattycoze | raylu & crimsun (btw i'm no programmer, so i can't really do much other than pester the authors hehe) | 05:29 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: im trying to scroll on the alt-3 page | 05:29 |
| GodfatherofEire | so nobody knows how I might find out the ID for the mouse buttons | 05:29 |
| crimsun | raylu: (i.e., libbluetooth2 was used at the time of compile instead of libbluetooth3; more than likely the former was removed due to the apparent abi & api bump) | 05:29 |
| pidus | maco: i tried doing that...but http://paste.ubuntu.com/97365/ is what it shows | 05:29 |
| dexi | GodfatherofEire: guess? | 05:29 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: im kinda new to linux.. sorry | 05:30 |
| pidus | and why should i lose data if the same disk shows up perfectly on a mac...with all the folders showing perfectly | 05:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | GodfatherofEire, Did you real the link on setting up mouse buttons? | 05:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | Jack_Sparrow, yes, I did | 05:30 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: scrolling up and down won't work if you switch, it loses the buffer on the tty. to scroll, you have to stay in the tty that has the pages you need | 05:30 |
| Gnea | !pastebin | 05:31 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:31 |
| maco | pidus: you should never ever just unplug a disk without cleanly unmounting it. there is always a chance that doing so will lose or corrupt some or all of the data. | 05:31 |
| Irreducibilis | I am about to do something explicitly forbidden here that will probably get me kicked like last time, or at very least yelled at. I am going to ask a windows-related question here, since the people in #windows seem to think they dont have to help anyone because its new years eve. | 05:31 |
| kantxx | hmm | 05:31 |
| maco | pidus: it's not guaranteed to happen, but it's a chance not worth taking | 05:31 |
| kantxx | ill try reinstalling it | 05:31 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: ok.. but now i tried the command again... and scroleld right after... still didnt scroll | 05:31 |
| Gnea | Irreducibilis: please, don't be an idiot. | 05:31 |
| kantxx | rather confused why it wont work :| | 05:31 |
| pidus | maco: i understand that...but it happened inadvertently | 05:31 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: use 'pastebininit'.... sudo apt-get pastebinit | 05:31 |
| DefamedPrawn | hi. Is there a simple guide on editing fstab anywhere? | 05:31 |
| Irreducibilis | Gnea: What choice do I have? I am desperate. | 05:32 |
| dexi | go for it Irreducibilis | 05:32 |
| Gnea | !fstab | DefamedPrawn | 05:32 |
| ubottu | DefamedPrawn: 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 | 05:32 |
| pidus | maco: but then what should i try to do? | 05:32 |
| GodfatherofEire | Jack_Sparrow, heres the thing though, mine has the equivalent of 12 buttons under ubuntu standards, but I need the buttonmap so I dont royally screw somethin up under xserver | 05:32 |
| Gnea | Irreducibilis: look, just PM me | 05:32 |
| Irreducibilis | okay. | 05:32 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: woahh.-.. thanks | 05:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: that will only work for files though, sorry, the pastebinit that is | 05:32 |
| Bladezor | Hey, does anyone know how to output Wine's console output straight to a file? | 05:32 |
| maco | pidus: and that happens even after you use "-o force" in your mount command? | 05:32 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: crap.. could just scroll through the apt-get thingey | 05:33 |
| WebcamWonder | Bladezor: ./notepad++.exe > output? | 05:33 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: you could try installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 05:33 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: that will give you the ath5k module. actually | 05:33 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: try "sudo modprobe ath5k" first | 05:33 |
| dexi | .... Does anyone know why linux would have a slow download (around 20kb/s) compared to windows (around 150kb/s) | 05:33 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: isnt there a way i could configure my xorg.conf file to force a resolution? | 05:33 |
| nickrud | GodfatherofEire, run xev in a terminal, then click each button with the pointer in the window. In the mass of scrolling data, you'll see the button numbers | 05:33 |
| pidus | maco: yup | 05:33 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: wait, nevermind. that won't do anything | 05:33 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: ath5k not found. | 05:34 |
| maco | Guest61861: er...can you write an xorg.conf by hand? because there is no xorg.conf anymore by default | 05:34 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: If i recall correct, I should be on the atheros driver for the eeepc wireless card | 05:34 |
| GodfatherofEire | nickrud, thanks | 05:34 |
| raylu | Tom_1223: so yeah, try installing linux-backports-modules | 05:34 |
| xd4 | happy new year people | 05:34 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: you welcome. you can redirect output into a file though... command > log_file_name 2>&1 ..to make output go to file | 05:34 |
| dexi | happy new year | 05:34 |
| maco | Tom_1223: most netbooks require l-b-m | 05:34 |
| maco | Tom_1223: if you have the AR242 or whatever its called, you def. do | 05:34 |
| Guest61861 | maco: ok.. caus i have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file... had it from install.. | 05:34 |
| maco | Guest61861: and it's empty | 05:34 |
| Bladezor | WebcamWonder, thanks :) | 05:35 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: what is the output of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager ....? | 05:35 |
| maco | Guest61861: unless this is a year-old install that you've been upgrading | 05:35 |
| xd4 | I am having a small problem, if anyone cares to help | 05:35 |
| WebcamWonder | Bladezor: No problems | 05:35 |
| Guest61861 | maco: no | 05:35 |
| maco | !ask | xd4 | 05:35 |
| ubottu | xd4: 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. :-) | 05:35 |

| mattycoze | @ Crimsun https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/291051/ | 05:35 |

| xd4 | by mistake | 05:35 |
| Guest61861 | maco: downloaded yesterday. installed today | 05:35 |
| daedra | how do you exit screen? | 05:36 |
| maco | Guest61861: if it's 8.10 it's definitely blank | 05:36 |
| xd4 | its purpose was to delay the startup of autostarted programs for 60 seconds | 05:36 |
| pidus | guess, i'll need to go by the really sloppy way of....looking for a windows/mac machine...copying the data on disk to that machine...and reformatting the disk..afresh | 05:36 |
| xd4 | i deleted the script | 05:36 |
| maco | xd4: where'd you get it? | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: what is the output of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager ....? | 05:36 |
| xd4 | but then, its still delayed | 05:36 |
| maco | pidus: doesnt need a format | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: /usr/bin/gdm ...? | 05:36 |
| dexi | well... how bout if i just say hello and see if anyone says anything back | 05:36 |
| xd4 | maco : i was trying to install dropbox | 05:36 |
| maco | pidus: just needs checkdisk | 05:36 |
| xd4 | maco : it was intended to delay dropbox startup | 05:36 |
| maco | xd4: and that required delaying startup? er... | 05:36 |
| pidus | maco: umm ok.. | 05:37 |

| dexi | WebcamWonder: woah someone said something to me! :) | 05:37 |
| lumpycam | daedra: ctrl+a+d to detach screen, exit to exit. | 05:37 |
| WebcamWonder | dexi: How are you connected to the internet? | 05:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laptopuser, What card chipset are you usning | 05:37 |
| daedra | actuall I just realised I can simply detatch the screen | 05:37 |
| maco | pidus: you know when you shut down windows wrong and it does that thing when it checks the whole disk to make sure nothing's lost? you just need to do that. | 05:37 |
| laptopuser | see thread #10 | 05:37 |
| daedra | lumpycam: yeah thanks | 05:37 |
| dexi | WebcamWonder: ethernet cable to DSL | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: ok, just to make sure it's shut down first.. do --> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 05:37 |
| lumpycam | daedra: screen -r to re-attach | 05:37 |
| WebcamWonder | dexi: And are you using the same site to test the download speed? | 05:37 |
| Tom_1223 | raylu: Thanks. I will hook it up to cat5e when I get a chance and try the linux-backports-modules-intrepid. I'm just baffled as to how it could completely destroy it overnight. I updated my packages list etc, but I checked and madwifi is still installed. | 05:37 |
| pidus | maco: :-) yeah i know | 05:37 |
| xd4 | maco: so how can i make startup return to normal | 05:38 |
| maco | xd4: ok where'd you get the script? and what do you mean by installed it? | 05:38 |
| daedra | lumpycam: i'm being an idiot again | 05:38 |
| daedra | :p | 05:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: that will make sure X is totally shut down, just in case it's not already | 05:38 |
| maco | xd4: did you copy it somewhere, or was there an installer script or what? | 05:38 |
| dexi | WebcamWonder: its all-around slow downloads on linux... | 05:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laptopuser, I was just asking to help link info with the chipset. I dont feel like reading it to find out | 05:38 |
| xd4 | maco: i laced it in the autostart folder in .donfig, then ran it | 05:38 |
| pidus | maco: but i thought, there's some way in linux as well, to fix it..without going to windows, i.e. linux equivalent of chkdisk or something | 05:38 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: now do --> sudo Xorg -configure ...tell me the response you get from that | 05:38 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: stopping gnome display manager... | 05:38 |
| maco | pidus: we have fsck but it's for linux filesystems, not for windows ones | 05:38 |

| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: ok, good | 05:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ty | 05:39 |
| xd4 | maco: yes it was an installer script | 05:39 |
| maco | xd4: can you give me a link? | 05:39 |
| maco | xd4: i want to see what the installer script does | 05:39 |
| WebcamWonder | dexi: Try a test site. B/c there is no reason for it to be slow on Ethernet, unless you are using ndiswrapper | 05:39 |
| xd4 | maco: hold on | 05:39 |
| pidus | maco: oh ok | 05:39 |
| dexi | WebcamWonder: im not. im using apt-get to get amarok right now and its running around 20 kb/s and i was downloading thunderbird early at about the same... | 05:40 |

| Ghostindark | hi all, is there any program that help me to capture the inbound/outbound packet then hold it and let me view it's source, abort, change value or continue it's way ? | 05:41 |
| xd4 | maco: step number 8 | 05:41 |
| dexi | WebcamWonder: but i noticed a lag in average page viewing too | 05:41 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: it tells me alot of things and the lines that are showing isnt understandable for me.. it says Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf .new | 05:41 |
| WebcamWonder | dexi: And are you using ndiswrapper? | 05:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Ghostindark: sounds like you want tcpdump/wireshark | 05:41 |
| dexi | WebcamWonder: as far as i know, no. | 05:41 |
| GodfatherofEire | Jack_Sparrow, for the name of the mouse would I use "Logitech USB reciever" or its ID # | 05:41 |
| Ghostindark | wireshark can't hold packet | 05:41 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: and it tells me ... to test it i run X-config /root/xorg.conf.new | 05:42 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: should i try test it ? | 05:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: ok, sounds like it worked. now --> sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: or test it first if you want | 05:42 |

| === Mac__ is now known as CoolBSD | ||
| Ghostindark | roger? | 05:43 |
| Ghostindark | the name ? | 05:43 |
| maco | xd4: -_- that script is so wrong. most of those things only need to be done once. only the last line (sleep 60s...) would need to be done each startup. and the trouble is that that script is executed before the other startup scripts you've got. preferable would be for it to start last | 05:43 |
| onetinsoldier | Ghostindark: keep asking every few minutes if you have to. have you looked at tcpdump? | 05:43 |
| maco | xd4: if you go to system -> preferences -> sessions -> startup is it anyhere in there? | 05:43 |
| WebcamWonder | dexi: I have no clue... It shouldn't really do that | 05:44 |
| Ghostindark | is it have GUI version ? | 05:44 |
| dexi | WebcamWonder: lol thanks | 05:44 |

| the_vigilante | hi, if i goto places/computer it shows a usb drive but i have none connected, why would it appear and how do i get rid of it ?? | 05:49 |
| lain_wired | Hiya, I'm trying to use a digital keychain (usb) on ubuntu. It mounts, but it seems to think it's a cd-rw. it has an DPFMate.exe program which I can't run, even under wine. | 05:49 |
| lain_wired | The brand is kaiserbaas. anyone have any ideas what to do? | 05:50 |
| ssmy | lain_wired: U3? | 05:50 |
| maco | xd4: ps -ef | grep dropbox | 05:50 |
| maco | xd4: see if dropbox is running | 05:50 |
| lain_wired | ssmy, U3 what? | 05:50 |
| xd4 | maco: the output is : 25185 23997 0 13:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep dropbo | 05:51 |
| maco | lain_wired: its a crappy PortableApps knockoff that makes a fake Start Menu on Windows after displaying an annoying splash screen and it requires Windows to get rid of it | 05:51 |
| ssmy | lain_wired: U3 is a kind of flash drive. in windows it has portable apps. works by pretending to be a CD if I recall correctly. worth looking into maybe. g2g | 05:51 |
| maco | xd4: ok so that'd be no... | 05:51 |
| maco | lain_wired: it tricks windows into doing auto-run by pretending to be a CD. its a wonderful security nightmare. | 05:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Guest61861: do you have more than one monitor hooked up? | 05:52 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I'm trying to format a hdd, but its an old fedora drive, im not sure which partitions and which drives are it, is there a GUI storage tools? | 05:52 |
| ssmy | lain_wired: getting rid of it is kind of a pain. needs windows. if it is even possible w/ that one. got rid of it on my sandisk okay | 05:52 |
| WebcamWonder | !gparted | CoUrPsE|DeAd | 05:52 |
| ubottu | CoUrPsE|DeAd: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 05:52 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Thanks. | 05:52 |
| maco | lain_wired: the app to get rid of it can be gotten from u3.com but yeah...windows only. or wine. ive heard it works in wine. | 05:52 |
| lain_wired | ssmy, maco: but it's not a storage device, as such, it's a photo frame. | 05:52 |
| maco | lain_wired: oh...not a flash drive thing? | 05:53 |
| xd4 | maco: yeah, i stopped dropboxd manually | 05:53 |
| Guest61861 | onetinsoldier: no. but i switched before.. caus i couldnt see anything... i can see with my non widescreen monitor... the thing is ... this is a tv just that it has a pc input.. and i need to force 1360x768 to see anything it appears. | 05:53 |
| ssmy | lain_wired: even weirder. sounds like the photo frame manufacturer did something screwy to get a cool effect in windows or something. | 05:53 |
| lain_wired | I assume DPFMate is some sort of GUI program. | 05:53 |
| Chicano | hi everone | 05:54 |
| lain_wired | Why couldn't it just be drag and drop? >:| | 05:54 |
| ssmy | presumably | 05:54 |

| Chicano | i need help | 05:54 |

| xd4 | maco: anyway to just make a new fresh startup session | 05:54 |

| pentaside | Warning: N00b Question... I'm trying to get a couple programs to run at startup and can't seem to find (what Windows would call) the "Program Files" folder... | 06:18 |
| onetinsoldier | konzept: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console termminal 5) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (for example --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop <--, this shuts down x-windows completely) 6) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in your users home directory, also check /root) | 06:18 |
| onetinsoldier | konzept: 7) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old 8) sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 9) now it's time to try your new xorg.conf file by starting x-windows back up --> sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> start | 06:19 |
| onetinsoldier | konzept: you'll want to do Step #3 before you can do Step #1 | 06:19 |
| konzept | thank you | 06:20 |
| konzept | ill try | 06:20 |

| Flannel | Moogly: Please watch your language. What is "wont install"? | 06:29 |

| dotslash | Moogly: try 32bit. | 06:32 |
| eseven73 | he did already dotslash | 06:32 |
| rolle | venger: its a fresh install, so it doesn't have any of the packages that i need to d/l following the methods listed on the faqs written up. | 06:32 |
| Moogly | I did and like I said it mest up at 27% | 06:32 |

| Moogly | when I checked the 64bit cd it said a lot of I/O errors | 06:33 |
| dotslash | read the manual/try other installation mediums | 06:33 |
| Moogly | but when I checked the 32bit it said something was wrong with one file, but I cleaned the disk, and it didn't say anything was wrong after :S | 06:34 |
| mayank | how to install virtual software like virtual pc or vmware in ubuntu? | 06:34 |
| Moogly | Oh and excuse me for my language earlier ;P | 06:34 |
| evowill_ | Moogly: that means you are probably using media that isn't very good, or the drive if flaky. | 06:34 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Does ANYBODY in here know what the xinput binding is for the primary click? | 06:34 |
| venger | Lou_, i don't understand why you need to use scp on the same box why not cp ? or did i miss something? | 06:34 |
| evowill_ | Mayank: you might want to try virtualbox | 06:35 |
| Moogly | mmmh | 06:35 |
| mayank | where??? package manager? | 06:35 |
| Moogly | thing is I used a 32bit cd that my friend used and it installed ubuntu perfectly (or completely for that matter) | 06:35 |
| evowill_ | moogly: you might want to try the network install if possible, using the mini.iso | 06:35 |
| rolle | system-administration mayank i think | 06:35 |
| evowill_ | moogly: I will send you a PM | 06:35 |
| Moogly | mmh I didn't know they had one (didn't check LOL) | 06:36 |
| evowill_ | mayank: yes or sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose | 06:36 |
| Moogly | and thanks for your help I'll try it to see if it works out | 06:36 |
| mayank | can i install xp in that evowill? | 06:36 |
| evowill_ | mayank: yes | 06:36 |

| evowill_ | mayank: if you require usb though you will want to get the package from the virtualbox site | 06:37 |

| The_Rebel | what makes some distro's automagically reconize and mount other partitions that are not required for the distro? | 06:38 |
| dotslash | mayank: sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 06:38 |
| dotslash | great. | 06:38 |
| The_Rebel | why do distro's like Knoppix, Xandros and Opensuse automagically do this | 06:38 |
| The_Rebel | but not Ubuntu? | 06:38 |
| eseven73 | mayank>> i got xp running in Virtualbox as we speak, xp runs faster in a VM than it does by itself , and with seamless mode i sometimes have to double check to make sure im actually using Ubuntu lol (You'll get seamless mode after you install virtualbox's Guest Additions) | 06:38 |
| rolle | I believe for the atheros fix, i need to get build-essential package | 06:39 |
| The_Rebel | can someone explain that to me. | 06:39 |
| Lou_ | venger, well I don't even know enough to be able to ask a logical question. I'll read the manual for ssh, and if that doesn't help I'll come back. Thanks for responding! | 06:39 |
| mayank | so what is virtualbox-ose eseven73? | 06:39 |
| The_Rebel | open source editions | 06:40 |
| Moogly | ugh | 06:40 |
| The_Rebel | virtualbox without the good stuff. | 06:40 |
| eseven73 | its the opensource version of VirtualBox (Only downside no usb support) | 06:40 |
| Moogly | which version of ubuntu shud I download? | 06:40 |
| Moogly | ;P | 06:40 |
| The_Rebel | depends | 06:40 |
| The_Rebel | you may prefer XFCE, KDE or GNOME.. | 06:40 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | Ok, for remapping the mouse buttons, to other non-standard, non-mouse functions, how would I go about doing this? | 06:41 |
| venger | Lou_, just trying to grasp you exact situation so i can accurately convey what i think you should do. you are welcome to use the pastebin listed in the topic to show commands you are using and the errors that you get so any one of us can get a better idea and be able to help | 06:41 |
| Terinjokes | (stuff that cdrdao would normally burn, but I want to make an iso image instead) | 06:41 |
| The_Rebel | can someone answer my question now? | 06:41 |
| The_Rebel | what makes some distro's automagically reconize and mount other partitions that are not required for the distro? | 06:41 |
| Moogly | XFCE KDE or Gnome | 06:41 |
| The_Rebel | why do distro's like Knoppix, Xandros and Opensuse automagically do this | 06:41 |
| Moogly | they all seem the same to me tbh | 06:41 |
| The_Rebel | but not Ubuntu? | 06:41 |
| The_Rebel | if it's all the same to you.. just get the standard 32bit Ubuntu install ISO. | 06:42 |
| Rolaulten | The_Rebel: just a shot in the dark but they have that command enterd into the list of commands to run upon user logon | 06:42 |
| eseven73 | Moogly>> Moogly they're all pretty much the same under the hood, but Xubuntu is light-weight and Kubuntu is heavy weight and pretty like Vista kinda sorta | 06:43 |
| Moogly | meh I don't fancy looks | 06:43 |
| Moogly | ;P | 06:43 |
| eseven73 | ok get Xubuntu then | 06:43 |
| Moogly | but my tower can handle them | 06:44 |
| Lou_ | venger, thanks. I need to get better organized. Then I'll come back. | 06:44 |
| Moogly | so meh it doesn't matter to me to be honest :P | 06:44 |
| dotslash | Moogly: what garble are you spewing. | 06:44 |
| The_Rebel | Xbuntu won't impress you with anything.. at least GNOME offers a more complete package. | 06:44 |
| brEz | Hello, when trying to run an ipv6 tunnel I get this error: ioctl: No buffer space available | 06:44 |
| onetinsoldier | you can always get the regular Ubuntu(Gnome) and install another window manager, like icewm | 06:44 |
| Moogly | I'm just saying that I don't care about fancy graphics, but if they are resource consuming my tower can handle them :P | 06:45 |
| brEz | anyone know what too do? | 06:45 |
| venger | rolle, is cdrom enabled in your software sources? | 06:45 |
| fwaokda | is there a good gmail panel applet for ubuntu ? | 06:45 |
| Moogly | I just want ubuntu to work ;P | 06:45 |
| evowill_ | Moogly: Stick with regular Ubuntu to start | 06:45 |
| The_Rebel | get Ubuntu then. | 06:45 |
| The_Rebel | no derivitaves | 06:45 |
| eseven73 | Moogly>> lightweight environments are not just for people with crappy hardware, some people just like the look and feel of the more stripped down window managers | 06:45 |
| The_Rebel | derivatives* | 06:45 |
| Moogly | my only question is which version of it should I download? | 06:45 |
| The_Rebel | Ubuntu 32bit as i said. | 06:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Moogly: 64-bit would get my nod | 06:46 |
| eseven73 | fwaokda>> thunderbird? | 06:46 |
| The_Rebel | your best beat imo. | 06:46 |
| brEz | Hello, when trying to run an ipv6 tunnel I get this error: ioctl: No buffer space available | 06:46 |

| Rolaulten | Moogly: as well as your best bet gnome makes things simple, you can branch out from there | 06:46 |
| rolle | venger: I can check when I boot over to that.. if its not, enable that, and try it again? | 06:46 |
| rolle | and it should read it from the cd? | 06:46 |
| fwaokda | eseven73, trying to get out of using programs like that I just want an applet that rests in my panel and alerts me when new mail arrives. is there one or is there somewhere i can look? | 06:46 |
| dotslash | brEz: have you attempted to start your ipv6 config right after rebooting? | 06:47 |
| eseven73 | fwaokda>> Evolution | 06:47 |
| brEz | yup | 06:47 |
| brEz | i just rebooted and then tried ;| | 06:47 |
| Moogly | erm what I mean by what version I should get by the way is : Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 8.04 I downloaded 8.10 for 64bit but didn't work for some awkward reason :P | 06:47 |
| fwaokda | eseven73, i dont want to use programs. just want something that tells me when new mail has arrived and then i go to the actual gmail site | 06:47 |
| eseven73 | fwaokda>> also theres a million Email widgets you can install too that notify you of new emails... | 06:48 |

| rolle | 8.04 will be supported for 3 years moogly, 8.10 is supported for 16 months i believe | 06:48 |
| fwaokda | eseven73, do widgets = panel applets? | 06:48 |
| eseven73 | fwaokda>> ok right click on the panel fwaokda and you should see options for adding widgets to it, or install Screenlets | 06:48 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | Is there any list for the specific values that can be input in xinput set-button-map? | 06:49 |
| rolle | k thanks venger =) probably be back in 10 minutes if it doesn't work | 06:49 |
| rolle | =p | 06:49 |
| eseven73 | fwaokda>> also if you don tlike those, look in synaptic for Screenlets, Desklets, Widgets, Applets the list goes on... | 06:49 |
| Flannel | Moogly: It's an LTS release. It gets 3 years of desktop support, 5 years of server support. | 06:49 |
| dotslash | brEz: are you using the ip tunnel add string? | 06:49 |
| fwaokda | eseven73, k i'll check there thanks | 06:49 |
| dotslash | what do you issue,, that returns the error? | 06:49 |
| eseven73 | yw | 06:49 |
| Moogly | LTS = ? | 06:49 |
| Flannel | Moogly: Long Term Support | 06:49 |
| Moogly | aah lol | 06:49 |
| dotslash | have you attempted to create a GRE tunnel, do you get the same results? | 06:49 |
| dfgas | anyone know if shane is/was the admin for shame repo? | 06:49 |
| rolle | moogly: thats for long term support, its used for people who don't really plan to update every 6 months | 06:49 |
| brEz | dotslash: I'm using this as a guideline; http://davecoyle.com/documents/ubuntu-ipv6-he-tunnel.html | 06:49 |
| dotslash | what kernel is this on, what ubuntu version, etc. | 06:49 |
| Flannel | Moogly: Basically, there are two "tracks" of Ubuntu you can be on, LTS (where a new one comes out every two years or so) or regular (where a new one comes out every six months) | 06:50 |
| brEz | errm | 06:50 |
| dotslash | well, i'm not going to read the paper you read to fix your problem. | 06:50 |
| brEz | 8.10 | 06:50 |
| Moogly | maybe I shud try to re-install tomorrow, its kinda late + I don't have access to a computer to burn a disc with D: | 06:50 |
| brEz | haha :P | 06:50 |
| dotslash | i'm asking you if you implemented this using 'ip tunnel add ...' | 06:50 |
| Flannel | Moogly: For example, I just recently upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04, since I was on the LTS cycle. It means I won't *have* to upgrade again until around 2011 | 06:50 |
| brEz | no. | 06:50 |

| Moogly | wow, reminds me of Debian | 06:51 |
| evowill_ | Moogly: use the link I sent you, as from what you said, your drive or media appears flaky. | 06:51 |
| dotslash | what tunnel are you using, or attempting to use? | 06:51 |
| Moogly | update every 1 or more years | 06:51 |
| dotslash | have you tried another tunnel? | 06:51 |
| brEz | Yup | 06:51 |
| dotslash | what does your /etc/network/interfaces look like? | 06:51 |

| dotslash | brEz: have you tried this on another distro/os | 07:00 |
| dotslash | ioctl will return ENOBUFS even if it is register_netdevice() that fails. I guess that could happen if sit0 already exists. Did you check with ifconfig -a? | 07:00 |
| dotslash | sit0 being your he.net stuff. | 07:00 |

| pepperjack | empiric: you wont really find any in the wild atm. linux antivirus is usually used to clean windows machines | 07:06 |
| empiric | then why ppl launch anti virus in linux | 07:06 |

| NineTeen67Comet | hayall .. I tossed LMMS (sudo aptitude install lmms) on this box but I can't see it in the menu anywhere (even re-logged in then rebooted) .. does anyone know where this app goes? /usr/bin maybe? (off to look) | 07:13 |
| Zombie | I have an Nvidia FX5200 | 07:13 |
| dotslash | empiric: please ask an intelligent question. | 07:13 |
| Zombie | I am using the proprietary Nvidia Driver, | 07:13 |
| raylu | NineTeen67Comet: there is a dpkg command to show files owned by a package | 07:13 |
| brEz | I can use it through tspc - just the HE.net hates me! | 07:14 |
| venger | NineTeen67Comet, you can use dpkg -L <pkg> to see what files it installed | 07:14 |
| Zombie | I am trying to achibve a resolution of 256x240 | 07:14 |
| dotslash | NineTeen67Comet: have you tried /sbin/lmms, or trying to type llms in your terminal? | 07:14 |
| brEz | might just drop them a post on the forums or something | 07:14 |
| steven | hello. | 07:14 |
| empiric | dotslash eseven73 is talking abt this ma not | 07:14 |
| pepperjack | NineTeen67Comet: also which lmms will tell you if it exists in the path already | 07:14 |
| steven | so, i installed the very latest Ubuntu, downloaded from the torrent tonight | 07:14 |
| dotslash | empiric: please speak english. | 07:14 |
| venger | empiric, the answer is google. next quest plz. | 07:14 |
| steven | and first thing, it cant access my second wifi network card to get online | 07:14 |
| dotslash | steven: congratulations. | 07:14 |
| Zombie | I can only get, 320x240 | 07:14 |
| NineTeen67Comet | venger: raylu dotslash pepperjack found it guys, just have to make a menu .. it was in /usr/bin .. just didn't look deep enough (my term is tinny today) .. | 07:14 |
| steven | and when switching workspaces, it froze on me | 07:15 |
| Zombie | creating Pillarboxing. | 07:15 |
| NineTeen67Comet | thank you much | 07:15 |
| steven | forcing me to restart | 07:15 |
| Zombie | Does anyone know how to make the Nvidia driver do that resolution? | 07:15 |
| dotslash | Zombie: this isn't really ubuntu centric, you should ask fce ultra developers. | 07:15 |
| dotslash | i'm sure that they have a help page somewhere. | 07:16 |
| steven | to be fair, ubuntu is only half to blame. PC hardware in general is terrible. | 07:16 |
| Zombie | I have, | 07:16 |
| dotslash | steven: sounds like you've come to a conclusion. | 07:16 |
| the-vigilante | hi i just want to know how to list the modules in the terminal i used the command earlier today and iv gone blank and google isnt helping please some one | 07:16 |
| steven | i was really hoping i could just use Ubuntu and have it work | 07:16 |
| steven | isnt that what Ubuntu is all about? | 07:16 |
| dotslash | the-vigilante: what? | 07:17 |
| raylu | steven: ...no? | 07:17 |
| dotslash | steven: well, when you have failing hardware, ubuntu isn't really to blame. | 07:17 |
| weternal | lsusb is detecting an ipod nano, but it's not mounting automatically, anyone know what's the problem? | 07:17 |
| the-vigilante | there was a command that listed the modules or some thing like rndis and usbnet etc | 07:17 |
| steven | dotslash: well im certainly not installing Ubuntu on my mac. that defeats the purpose of having a second computer | 07:17 |
| steven | ;) | 07:17 |
| raylu | the-vigilante: kernel modules? | 07:17 |
| the-vigilante | i guess | 07:18 |
| pepperjack | weternal: dmesg | tail to find the node then sudo mount -o rw,umask=000 /dev/sdc1 /media/usb <-- or whatever | 07:18 |
| raylu | the-vigilante: lsmod | 07:18 |
| the-vigilante | im new to this hahaha | 07:18 |
| the-vigilante | thank you so much | 07:18 |
| raylu | the-vigilante: in the future, apropos will help | 07:18 |
| dotslash | there are documents that should help your transition online. | 07:18 |
| steven | to be honest, i have a relatively standard HP model. it has basic hardware that i know linux supports | 07:18 |
| dotslash | apropos as well | 07:18 |
| the-vigilante | its given me a flaming headache | 07:18 |
| cakey | its been a year since i last took my bath | 07:18 |
| the-vigilante | raylu, apropos?? | 07:19 |
| raylu | the-vigilante: yes... apropos | 07:19 |
| dotslash | steven: you haven't exactly stated a problem. | 07:19 |
| FLeiXiuS | cakey: you stink. | 07:19 |
| cakey | nope | 07:19 |
| weternal | stephen what's the issue? | 07:19 |
| cakey | :) | 07:19 |
| dotslash | the-vigilante: try typing it into your terminal. | 07:19 |
| steven | dotslash: it saw my network and tried to connect, yet it said it could not connect | 07:19 |
| cakey | i still feel and smell fresh | 07:19 |
| dotslash | fleplease don't. | 07:19 |
| dotslash | er, FLeiXiuS | 07:19 |
| cakey | thats how awesome i am FLeiXiuS | 07:19 |

| ck | hi dotslah | 07:21 |
| steven | dotslash: the specific problem is that before this i was on Windows. just an hour ago in fact. and the internet worked from Windows. and i installed Ubuntu right over it because my winxp had viruses, and now Ubuntu cannot access the internet | 07:21 |

| eseven73 | can Truecrypt only encrypt a folder? I'd rather not encrypt an entire disk | 07:25 |

| eseven73 | ac3_0f_spad3s>> i think "on the fly" means you can | 07:26 |
| === rashire2 is now known as rashire | ||
| venger | insta, there usually people in #alsa that'll run you through some checks other than that there are scripts for updating alsa on ubuntu (google) to make that peice easy | 07:27 |
| dotslash | its able to hide volumes and also complete os hiding, iirc | 07:27 |
| raylu | eseven73: to encrypt only a few files, consider gpg | 07:27 |
| dotslash | you might want to read the documentation. | 07:27 |
| dotslash | its freely available online. | 07:27 |
| iShock | I need to stream my webcam - However, neither mplayer nor VLC can seem to read it. xawtv can, however. What could cause this? | 07:27 |

| eseven73 | raylu>> i got gpg but how would i encrypt just a file? | 07:27 |
| iShock | dotslash: What? | 07:28 |
| weternal | iShock what's the webcam model | 07:28 |

| efeXor | lol | 07:49 |
| efeXor | Do workspaces have their own memory and what not? or is it just another screen | 07:49 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I've no idea how to navigate this OS | 07:49 |
| tyl3r | Is someone experienced with Qdvdauthor ? Its crashing after I created a slideshow. When run from terminal, it outputs: "Exit Err <cat: write error: Broken pipe" | 07:50 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Son_of_Demetrius: Like how? | 07:50 |
| * NineTeen67Comet I get lost in Windows now .. | 07:50 | |
| Flannel | efeXor: Its just another screen | 07:50 |
| raylu | Son_of_Demetrius: you said a second ago you were connecting it to a lan | 07:50 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Do I need to bring Third Party Drivers with me? | 07:50 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Son_of_Demetrius: Not usually, Synaptic (I use command line aptitude) has a PLETHORA of stuff including the drivers for most things. | 07:51 |
| raylu | Son_of_Demetrius: and, regardless, i'm pretty sure that you can just plug it in and everything will just work | 07:51 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I don't understand Lan..I checked my BIOS and it has LAN stuff indicated...sorry...it's way over my head... | 07:51 |
| NomaX | how do add an executable to be recognized globally in terminal? | 07:52 |

| efeXor | So where is a general good place to put files, | 07:52 |
| efeXor | home? | 07:52 |
| raylu | efeXor: that depends on what the files are... | 07:53 |
| rebel_kid | efeXor, that depends on what the file is, if its a file for the user then yes put it in their home folder | 07:53 |

| phrostbite | I put in the movie 8 mile and the first harry potter movie and a box comes up and says there is an executable that wants to run and when i open the cd and read the readme it wants to install something called interactual player. almost like it is trying to forc me to use its player. | 07:55 |
| eseven73 | mayank>> what version of ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| eseven73 | empiric>> you dont | 07:55 |
| mayank | 8.10 | 07:55 |
| eseven73 | told you that earlier | 07:55 |
| raylu | phrostbite: this is on ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| phrostbite | yes it is. | 07:55 |
| eseven73 | mayank>> 32 bit? | 07:55 |
| mayank | yes | 07:56 |
| raylu | phrostbite: i've never seen this behavior before. though, this may help: | 07:56 |
| phrostbite | They play in my dvd player just fine and yes I got them from the store. | 07:56 |
| raylu | !medibuntu | phrostbite | 07:56 |
| ubottu | phrostbite: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 07:56 |
| empiric | hen then why avasts launch a linux anti virus any reasons? | 07:56 |
| raylu | empiric: you've asked this already and we've answered already | 07:56 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I really wanna learn this Linux stuff...I have the 8.10 Ubuntu Official Guide coming in the Mail...amI being 2 ambitious? | 07:56 |

| papna | Son_of_Demetrius, That shouldn't be necessary. What do you want to do? | 07:58 |
| weternal | Son_of_Demetrius no, you can play with ubuntu without a guid | 07:58 |
| phrostbite | Raylu: where should I go there? I mean what do I need to look under? | 07:58 |
| raylu | phrostbite: i think something in the medibuntu repository is needed to play dvds. oh, right | 07:59 |

| Son_of_Demetrius | Just connect to the internet with Ubuntu 8.10 4 the very first time...on an ethernet cable..hoping the Cox Modem cable drivers kick in | 07:59 |
| dotslash | most connections are piggybacked. | 07:59 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | what's piggybacked mean..sorry? | 08:00 |
| dotslash | apart from probably rouge uncommon ones like probalistic co-axial satelites with antennas that have no support. | 08:00 |
| dotslash | satellites. | 08:00 |
| papna | Son_of_Demetrius, No strange drivers should be necessary for connecting with your ethernet cable. You should just be able to plug that in. ;) | 08:00 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I'm using some guys cable modem on my pc..he won't be there to help me out | 08:00 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I've never used a cable modem with Linux...I don't know what to xpect | 08:01 |
| rastar | morning | 08:02 |
| weternal | Son_of_Demetrius it's just plug and play | 08:02 |
| insta | huh | 08:02 |
| insta | so you guys remember a few minutes ago when i had alsa questions | 08:02 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I just installed Ubuntu 8.10...and that's it...I've done nothing else | 08:02 |
| insta | and the general consensus was that compiling from source was a pain, and to just follow instructions on ubuntuforums.com? | 08:03 |
| insta | so, um, if i ignored everyones suggestions and compiled from source, and now i have no sound cards, how do i dig back out of that? | 08:03 |
| raylu | insta: you tell us what you did :D | 08:03 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Should I bring my mb chipset drivers with me? | 08:04 |
| insta | raylu: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page ... i downloaded the 'current versions' of everything there, unpacked them to separate folders in my home folder, and effectively did "./configure ; make ; make install" to each one | 08:04 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I want to install a lot of Audio recording software 2 | 08:04 |
| NomaX | so i am trying to get hla in my /usr/bin to get globally recognized in a shell, i added PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/hla \n export PATH then source .bash_aliases , shell still not seeing it | 08:05 |
| insta | raylu: although i didn't do --with-cards=all on alsa-driver's ./configure | 08:05 |
| Decepticon | its sudo usermod -L nonpaying_user, to kill him? | 08:05 |
| Lexda | Any chance somebody can tell me what the "vim" command does in terminal? I'm trying to setup a PG2 blocklist that autoupdates, and I need to create a file using the command "vim blocklist_fetch.sh," but I get something wonky in terminal that I have no clue how to edit. | 08:05 |
| raylu | insta: did you uninstall alsa before doing this? | 08:05 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Cakewalk, CDex, Audacity, EAC, Ulead | 08:06 |
| insta | raylu: that's probably one of those things i should have done, eh? | 08:06 |
| raylu | Lexda: vim = vi enhanced. it's a nice text editor if you take the time to learn it | 08:06 |
| raylu | Lexda: you can just use nano if you want | 08:06 |
| raylu | insta: you can try make uninsall | 08:06 |
| raylu | *uninstall | 08:07 |
| mrwizard | Son_of_Demetrius: you'd want audion | 08:07 |
| Lexda | Hm. Ok, thanks raylu. | 08:07 |
| mrwizard | nope | 08:07 |
| insta | wouldn't me compiling just overwrite the existing drivers? | 08:07 |
| Decepticon | its sudo usermod -L nonpaying_user, to kill him? | 08:07 |
| mrwizard | aurdour | 08:07 |
| mrwizard | sorry | 08:07 |
| FloodBot2 | mrwizard: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:07 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | audion...what's that pleae :) | 08:08 |
| mrwizard | FloodBot2: yes sir | 08:08 |
| raylu | insta: the packages most likely installed to / and you most likely installed to /usr/local | 08:08 |
| mrwizard | Son_of_Demetrius: nope, audion doesn't exist. You want to get ardour | 08:08 |
| mrwizard | it's a program which I hear measures up to soundtrack pro | 08:08 |
| IamSOG | Happy new EAR !! | 08:08 |
| insta | actually raylu it installed the packages to /usr/lib/ | 08:08 |
| insta | which is nice | 08:08 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Ardour...is that recording software 2? | 08:08 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | How much? | 08:09 |
| rastar | IamSOG: new years was 21hrs ago | 08:09 |

| dotslash | woden: good question; #gnome | 08:13 |
| raylu | woden: what do you have? | 08:13 |
| dotslash | Decepticon: man usermod | 08:13 |
| woden | raylu: Just openbox with fbpanel | 08:13 |
| cojones_ | (restricted drivers) although the System->Admin->Hardware Drivers says that the restricted ATI driver is activated | 08:13 |
| dotslash | ah, openbox | 08:13 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | thx mrwizard..I'm just starting out here... | 08:13 |
| dotslash | woden: you should be able to, but i think it might be hardcoded. | 08:14 |
| dotslash | i'll leave that to x.org devs. | 08:14 |
| cojones_ | is it normal for glxinfo to display this if using restricted drivers? "server glx vendor string: SGI" | 08:14 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I've got an mb that's no longer supported by the manufacturer...doesn't that really suk! :( | 08:14 |
| mrwizard | Son_of_Demetrius: mb? | 08:15 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Gigabyte | 08:15 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Old old mb | 08:15 |
| dotslash | Son_of_Demetrius: well, if its supported by gnu/linux, you should be ok. | 08:15 |
| raylu | mrwizard: motherboard | 08:15 |
| mrwizard | ah | 08:15 |
| mrwizard | what kind of computer? | 08:15 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Freelanced...sucker me :( | 08:16 |
| Brack10 | Hi there | 08:16 |
| maco | woden: you don't | 08:16 |
| mrwizard | I mean, who manufactured the chip, and what architecture is it on? | 08:16 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | With WindowsXP...no SP Package neither...what a greenhorn I was | 08:16 |
| Brack10 | so I'm trying to switch to Emerald as a window decorator...so I downloaded emerald and imported my theme, restarted my computer but it's not switching. What else do I need to do? | 08:16 |
| Decepticon | how to check user cannot login via ssh/ftp? without knowing his password | 08:17 |
| karthik_ | can any one please tell me how to switch between workspaces using a program | 08:17 |
| dbuiviet | #ubuntu-vn | 08:17 |
| ziroday | Brack10: type in emerald --replace | 08:17 |
| mrwizard | well, goodnight Son_of_Demetrius, I'm off to sleep, good luck | 08:17 |
| Brack10 | oh ok | 08:18 |
| ziroday | karthik_: program? You can do ctrl+alt+left/right | 08:18 |
| Decepticon | how to check user is disabled for ssh/ftp? without knowing his password | 08:18 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I spent 800$ on a bunch od scrap :( | 08:18 |
| ziroday | Brack10: and then you need to add that to the autostart if you want it by default | 08:18 |
| Brack10 | ziroday: Cool, that worked but it didn't change my menubar.... | 08:18 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | nitey-nite mrwizard :) | 08:18 |
| karthik_ | ziroday: ya i know using tht shortcut key | 08:18 |
| ziroday | Brack10: menubar? | 08:19 |
| raylu | ziroday: i think there's a more elegant way involving .gnomerc | 08:19 |
| Brack10 | ok actually it stopped working | 08:19 |
| karthik_ | ziroday: But i'm looking for development part how it was done back end | 08:19 |
| Brack10 | now I just don't have window decorations at all | 08:19 |
| raylu | Brack10: why would a window decorator affect your menubar? | 08:19 |
| iShock | After I add an alias to .bashrc, how do I make it take affect? | 08:19 |
| maco_ | Brack10: you can install fusion-icon to make it easy to switch decorators easily. emerald is really not something i'd recommend though. it's highly unstable and no longer being developed (ie. the bugs that make it crash all the time won't be fixed) | 08:19 |
| maco_ | iShock: "sourch ~/.bashrc" | 08:19 |
| Brack10 | I see | 08:19 |
| Brack10 | noted | 08:19 |
| ziroday | raylu: hmm? I never explained to him how to add it to the autostart, there is a nicer way with System > Admin > Sessions | 08:19 |
| maco_ | iShock: or start a new terminal | 08:19 |
| === tritium_ is now known as tritium | ||
| raylu | ziroday: but putting emerald --replace there just makes it load gtk and then replace it with emerald every time | 08:20 |
| insta | raylu: installing another sound card made alsa see all 3 cards again ... | 08:21 |
| ziroday | raylu: ah right I see now what you're getting at, yes he could do that as well. That is if he wants to stay with emerald, I like maco's idea of fusion-icon myself | 08:21 |
| PhrozenDead | I just started using Fedora 10 and this is my first linux experience. Anyone here willing to help teach me my way around this OS? | 08:22 |

| Son_of_Demetrius | Native Codex that is? | 08:25 |
| maco | Son_of_Demetrius: ubuntu-restricted-extras has them all, but you're on dialup, so you might want to just grab the ones you'll actually use | 08:25 |
| maco | Son_of_Demetrius: u-r-e depends on probably 50 other packages in order to get them all | 08:25 |

| teddyb | wow it's amazing to see how much effort is involved in getting ubuntu ready | 08:47 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I'm tring to understand what a crossover platform means...are all the Linux systems the same...once you 'fiddle' around with one? | 08:47 |
| teddyb | really nice to see all the work that gets put into everything, especially (in my case) in the math/science/engineering software | 08:47 |
| kulawend | hot_wheelz: I don't know about iPhones, but when I sync my ipod I use iTunes running under WINE. | 08:48 |
| PureFire | kulawend, know much about mirrioring? | 08:48 |
| kulawend | PureFire: Never heard of it. | 08:49 |
| teddyb | kulawend: if you're fine with kde, amarok does that just fine | 08:49 |
| PureFire | sorry i mean "mirrors" (places where people can download ubuntu) | 08:49 |
| kulawend | teddyb: I prefer gnome. | 08:49 |
| hot_wheelz | kulawend I am sure there is a native way of doing it | 08:50 |
| kulawend | PureFire: Yes, I know what mirrors are. | 08:50 |
| teddyb | ah, i'm not sure what gnome uses, but i do remember something using libgpod or something similar | 08:50 |
| PureFire | kulawend, may you help me with setting up cron job's etc... | 08:50 |
| teddyb | btw, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=spice&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all -> doesn't have spice (!) | 08:50 |
| kulawend | hot_wheelz: Every time I have tried to use a native way it never works entirely right. | 08:51 |
| teddyb | ubuntu has gnucap, but no spice, which is practically the basis for all circuit simulations | 08:51 |
| PureFire | kulawend, may you help me with setting up cron job's etc... | 08:51 |
| kulawend | PureFire: Can't help you with that, sorry. | 08:52 |
| hot_wheelz | teddyb libgpod sound farmilar | 08:52 |
| PureFire | kulawend, know any one who dose? | 08:53 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Nitey-nite all...hope ur New Year is a better1 than the lat...thx 4 all ur help:) | 08:54 |
| kulawend | PureFire: Nope. | 08:54 |
| teddyb | btw, the operating system i'm currently on (gentoo), has a package for spice here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/circuits/spice3f5sfix.tar.gz | 08:55 |
| teddyb | it'd be nice if that was somehow worked in as a package for ubuntu | 08:56 |
| teddyb | there are graphical frontends to spice available on ubuntu, but no packages for the actual backend: spice | 08:56 |
| kulawend | I'll do some research. | 08:57 |

| teddyb | hehe, you talk of speed. i just found at least two packages not in ubuntu that are in gentoo. that's the original reason i went with gentoo -- software availability ~ 3-4 years ago. | 09:22 |
| cojones_ | really? i thought debian repos were generally the largest | 09:22 |

| thenetduck | I do connect my tvtuner card to my cable box right? not just straight into the wall? | 09:57 |
| ball | Neither of those really answers the question I had. Am I free to come and go in teams within LaunchPad, or are there strings attached? | 09:57 |
| ball | thenetduck: depends | 09:57 |
| bazhang | thenetduck, mythtv has very extensive documentation; you should look up your card and read some of the faq's and setup guides and then ask questions if you run into a hitch | 09:57 |

| thenetduck | ball and on our box it says "interactive digital communications" so digital? | 10:00 |
| ball | thenetduck: yeah, you'll want to plug your video capture card into your set-top box then | 10:00 |
| ball | Use S-Video or Composite though, not RF | 10:00 |
| phrostbite | It had something to do with the terminal and some sudo code or something | 10:00 |
| thenetduck | ball is RF the cable cord? | 10:01 |
| ball | "cable cord" is ambiguous. | 10:01 |

| === W_McL_ is now known as W_McL | ||
| ball | thenetduck: yeah, don't use that. | 10:02 |
| ball | that's bad. | 10:02 |
| phrostbite | where would i go to put that in? because imagemagick does not have a thing that i can like open. | 10:02 |
| thenetduck | ok... composite good .... S-vido better | 10:02 |
| ball | yes. | 10:02 |
| ball | In ascending order of goodness: composite -> S-Video -> RGB -> HDMI | 10:03 |
| thenetduck | ball is it possible with the cable cord "RF" i believe | 10:04 |
| miranda_psi | phrostbite: it is a commandline tool - if you want to do a lot of files at once you can just make a simple script to do that for you (basic command is convert input.jpg output.png) | 10:04 |
| evowill_ | Applications>Accessories>Terminal | 10:04 |
| lain_wired | hullo | 10:04 |
| ball | I guess RGB is some other component thing in the U.S. | 10:04 |
| ball | thenetduck: don't use the RF cable, that's just stupid. | 10:04 |
| thenetduck | ball ... ok. so my tvtuner card has 1 component cable (not sure why only one but oh well), 1 s-video, and 2 RF cables. I don't think I can use component because there are enough spaces | 10:06 |
| ball | thenetduck: you probably have component from your cable box to your tv | 10:06 |
| thenetduck | ball yes I can do that | 10:07 |
| thenetduck | oh... ok | 10:07 |
| ball | thenetduck: so use your s-video (and an audio cable) from your cable box to your video capture card | 10:07 |
| phrostbite | I found the command I need to put into the terminal but I do not know hot to use the terminal to get to the folder where the pictures are. | 10:07 |

| ball | thenetduck: does your TV have an HDMI input? | 10:07 |

| PolitikerNEU | Could be a seperate file too as long as e. g. vlc can read it | 10:07 |

| phrostbite | Can anybody explain why the mogrify command is not working. I am in the terminal in a folder with jpg pictures and i try mogrify -format png *.jpg and it worked on a different folder but won't work on this one. | 10:42 |
| outlaw1 | miranda_psi: no, I only have 1 in there now and that's for a backup script which seems to work fine. but at first i was trying to run both. but only backup in there now | 10:42 |
| outlaw1 | miranda_psi: could there be another instance of it somewhere in another file that I'm not aware of ? | 10:43 |
| miranda_psi | outlaw1: try deleting it from the crontab and see if it still gets run... | 10:44 |
| timri | speey_afk: Personally, I use rdiff-backup and I like it. Bacula seems a bit too much for one PC. | 10:45 |

| speey_afk | thank you timri for your answer. that was my impression too but I browsed the packages and bacula was the first program i saw. Now I will look at rdiff-bckup | 10:47 |
| miranda_psi | outlaw1: i'm just trying to see if it will still run after you delete the instance you know of (thus meaning it is listed to run somewhere else) | 10:47 |
| outlaw1 | miranda_psi: so should i delete crontab and see if it runs from terminal ? what confuses me is that if i delete then it wont be scheduled to start so therefore it wont ? | 10:48 |

| T3hWiz0rd | I only get it when running one particular file | 10:53 |
| RaverWild | miranda_psi, nothing at all. no err msg no anything. then ls -la shows it still there. this still happens after machine reboot | 10:53 |
| outlaw1 | miranda_psi: tried that and does nothing. I can still run from terminal naturally. I have even deleted backup ".sh~" file and searched filesystem and cant find any other files. | 10:54 |
| outlaw1 | miranda_psi: my crontab is simple 30 04 * * * /bin/radio.sh > /home/user/vlc.log 2>&1 | 10:54 |
| RaverWild | miranda_psi, take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97526/ | 10:55 |
| evowill_ | <T3hWiz0rd> Try another file of about the same size on the device | 10:55 |
| T3hWiz0rd | evowill_: i have, works fine. funny part is running HD video formats don't cause it, just a rip of a movie. | 10:55 |
| evowill_ | <T3hWiz0rd> Also if you are using the front USB ports, try the ones directly on the motherboard | 10:55 |
| T3hWiz0rd | evowill_: its going direct | 10:55 |
| T3hWiz0rd | evowill_: i have another video running on the device right now | 10:56 |
| pikario | hi, videos i play in totem or vlc or mplayer are really bleached for me.. why do you think tis is..? | 10:56 |
| miranda_psi | RaverWild: try sudo rm -rfiv (might give more information and should prompt for deletions...) | 10:56 |
| evowill_ | <T3hWiz0rd> then I assume that it is possible, though strange, but if it only happens on that file, and none others, even of the same, greater size. It is probably just that file | 10:56 |
| T3hWiz0rd | evowill_: yeah, it seems specific to that file. especially if you fast forward, it appears almost as if the file may be broken and causing the HDD to over-seek on it | 10:57 |
| T3hWiz0rd | evowill_: i have another file of equal size running right now and its yet to mishap, while the file in question causes the reset near imediately | 10:57 |
| RaverWild | miranda_psi, tried - says "cannot remove blah... Input/output error" | 10:58 |
| miranda_psi | outlaw1: so when you remove it - nothing gets run? do you get the same problem when you add it back in? | 10:59 |
| outlaw1 | miranda_psi: yes. I'm moving script to /usr/local/bin/ and deleted script from location it was in. not sure if it will change anything but worth a try i guess | 11:00 |
| miranda_psi | outlaw1: if that doesn't work I don't know what to try next, but good luck :) | 11:01 |

| xd4 | <kelvin911> i dont have the LaTeX thing enables unfortunately | 11:48 |
| rww | damo22: I'm not in a position to know this for definite, but since Jaunty has 2.6.28, I assume Intrepid will stay with .27, and the first end user release of 2.6.28 will be when Jaunty comes out in April. Like I said, I could very easily be wrong on that. | 11:48 |

| xd4 | !emesene | 11:50 |
| ubottu | Emesene is an instant messenger for the WLM network. See http://emesene.org for more information. | 11:50 |
| rww | coreyu: Because that message means that the kernel was passed the "vga=315" option, and that it doesn't recognize 315 as a valid graphics mode. Probably the easiest way to fix it is to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, find all the places in there where vga=315 appears, and edit them to use a correct video mode or delete them. | 11:51 |
| white-sheep | I'm considering to obtain the item in question ( http://moourl.com/58m47 ) Is there a guideline / link for installing Ubuntu on it? Or should I be using MID edition? Please advise with all your love in it. Thanks. :o | 11:51 |

| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: i always get linksys for wireless networking | 12:32 |
| eth01 | mrwes: it holds some relevance, yes | 12:32 |
| eth01 | cyphase: why the set speed? whats the point. | 12:32 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: and usb wireless network is a nono | 12:33 |
| mrwes | eth01: that's the problem with some of the online docs -- many, many are out dated | 12:33 |
| mrwes | I'd be concerned following a doc +2 years old | 12:33 |
| eth01 | mrwes: as i'm aware | 12:33 |
| veloc1ty | moin | 12:33 |
| cafuego | cyphase: You can make writes slower by turning off DMA mode on the target disk, I guess. There's not really any tools for trasferring ata set speed; afaik. | 12:33 |
| mrwes | k | 12:33 |
| cyphase | eth01: the destination drive has been having a problem where if i read from or write to it to fast, the whole computer starts to freeze up | 12:33 |
| cyphase | eth01: i'm pretty sure restarting would fix it, but i don't want to restart right now | 12:34 |
| cafuego | cyphase: That sounds like broken hardware. Not software. | 12:34 |
| eth01 | cyphase: that sounds like dodgey ram | 12:34 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: did u try ndiswrapper ? | 12:34 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin yes | 12:34 |
| cyphase | cafuego: still, watching a video from the hdd or downloading to it from the net works fine | 12:34 |
| cyphase | cafuego: indicating slower speeds work fine | 12:35 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6472150#post6472150 <<< tried all that | 12:35 |
| eth01 | cyphase: can you run top? | 12:35 |
| cyphase | eth01: running | 12:35 |
| cafuego | cyphase: Yes. Sounds like dodgy hardware. Could be as simple as the pata cable. | 12:35 |
| eth01 | cyphase: whats the proc usage? | 12:35 |
| eth01 | cafuego: it would be a big thick ide cable | 12:36 |
| cyphase | eth01: around 30% | 12:36 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: if i am u i will just go refund it and get the pci card one | 12:36 |
| sunface | how to connect net via bluetooth in ubuntu 8.10 thgriugh mobile ? | 12:36 |
| cyphase | eth01: i'm not copying right now though | 12:36 |
| cafuego | cyphase: There'll probbaly be messages in the kernel log about lost interrupts. | 12:36 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: the pci one are better anyway | 12:36 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: and easiest to install | 12:36 |
| eth01 | cyphase: so when you copy/transfer stuff - it increases almost instantly to something ridiclous? | 12:36 |
| eth01 | ridiclous, even | 12:36 |
| cafuego | cyphase: Step one is to check the SMART log on that drive. 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/hdX' | 12:36 |
| cyphase | eth01: it's so bad i can barely move the mouse | 12:37 |
| jimi_hendrix | pci = the one i plug open up my machine and throw it in? | 12:37 |
| mungustas | hello, could someone advise how I could use SOCKS5 (ssh) proxy in shell ? I want to connect to ftp site through socks5 using 'lftp' client | 12:37 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: what do u mean? | 12:37 |
| eth01 | cyphase: it sounds like it's RAM related. the reason you can probably do the most basic of things is because there's a reserve/unflushed amount - which is keeping it going | 12:37 |
| cafuego | cyphase: If the systemd etects a problem it can lower the speed the drives is accessed at. It does that by swithcing from DMA to PIO mode. PIO mode eats a LOT of cpu. | 12:37 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, im asking you...pci is the card that i would put in the machine...correct? | 12:38 |
| mrwes | jimi_hendrix: you on a laptop or desktop? | 12:38 |
| eth01 | i wouldn't be surprised if when you rebooted it - it either 1) works perfectly or 2) doesn't work at all. | 12:38 |
| liber | anyone know where the xkblayout-files are? | 12:38 |
| jimi_hendrix | mrwes, typing this laptop problem on desktop | 12:38 |
| cyphase | eth01: yea, i'm pretty sure it'll work fine | 12:38 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: yes pci card | 12:39 |
| cyphase | cafuego, eth01: so do you know how to copy/move at a set speed? | 12:39 |
| eth01 | cyphase: you could do a memtest, i think you need to *reboot* it really. | 12:39 |
| cyphase | eth01: i know | 12:39 |
| mrwes | jimi_hendrix: then installing a PCI wifi card is pretty straight forward and easy | 12:39 |
| eth01 | cyphase: not really, there is a way | 12:39 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: laptop or desktop? | 12:39 |
| cafuego | cyphase: You need to check if the machine has done that for you already, which might be *exactly* the problem. blktool should tell you. | 12:39 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, what do you mean | 12:39 |

| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: why do u want wireless for desktop? | 12:42 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: is the router too far away? | 12:42 |

| jimi_hendrix | id have to drill through a celling and wall to get it downhere... | 12:45 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, ^^^ | 12:45 |
| bastid_raZor | Eldron; what does lsb_release -a tell you? | 12:45 |

| cafuego | d0gmaz: chown, change the owner on the mounted directory | 12:46 |
| Eldron | Wait | 12:46 |

| Eldron | Cafuego: I don't know | 12:47 |
| * cafuego didn't think the LSB had anything to do with the X composite manager | 12:47 | |
| Eldron | Oh | 12:47 |
| cafuego | ganroe: There's a hidden folder on the USB stick. | 12:48 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, any possible way i can use this linksys card thingie that you slide into your laptop that i have looks like http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-734-4-dynex-wireless-n-laptop-card.aspx but is lynksis | 12:48 |

| cafuego | kelvin911: If the manufacturers would sactually publish specs, people could write drivers. Not Linux fault. Manufacturers fault. | 12:52 |

| white-sheep | DIFH-iceroot, pretty much. I tried to install Web developer using two possible solutions -- The one I downloaded from Firefox addons and the one I installed using the package. Both didn't work out for me too well. Could be firefox issue, then again, why is there packages for Ubuntu-Firefox. | 13:07 |
| savvas | level1: have you tried with synaptic? | 13:07 |
| Atchoum | how delete all Thumbs.db ? | 13:07 |
| Atchoum | what the commande for ? | 13:07 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, should i have used the vista drivers or the xp drivers? | 13:07 |

| Atchoum | ok thank you | 13:08 |
| lasivian | chilli0: is yours a "crystalcam" unit? | 13:08 |
| chilli0 | lasivian: i just found something odd , i looked at cheese and it says that its using the lenovo easy cam how ever it doesnt show any video | 13:08 |
| chilli0 | lasivian: not sure | 13:08 |
| DIFH-iceroot | white-sheep: the addon is for the newest firefox? | 13:08 |

I've been tryin to figure it out for the last 2 hours and I've gotten nowhere | 13:09 |
| kelvin911 | jimi_hendrix: i think xp driver | 13:09 |
| white-sheep | DIFH-iceroot, Ya. 3.0.5 version. | 13:09 |
| lasivian | chilli0: dmesg should list the details | 13:09 |
| chilli0 | it shows lots of crap | 13:09 |
| DIFH-iceroot | white-sheep: and "does not work for me" means? error-message? | 13:09 |
| Atchoum | savvas : find / -name "Thumbs.db" -delete no fonctionnality | 13:09 |
| Atchoum | problem | 13:09 |

| Atchoum | thank | 13:10 |
| white-sheep | DIFH-iceroot, No error message. It didn't show up at all. Possible some kind of interfering in firefox's gui. | 13:10 |
| chilli0 | lasivian: i found some stuff on it | 13:11 |

| savvas | Atchoum: then use sudo: sudo find / -name "Thumbs.db" -delete | 13:11 |

| lasivian | how can I find the version of the vnc server on my machine, and reinstall it? | 13:19 |
| savvas | chilli0: if you reboot your pc, then that should "restart" the use of the webcam | 13:19 |
| lasivian | it's not a seperate package i believe | 13:19 |
| lasivian | chilli0: oh, shutdown, remove the battery and reboot, sometimes my old notebook would not redetect things until it was totally powered down | 13:20 |
| chilli0 | k | 13:20 |
| chilli0 | savvas: its working fine on ekiga | 13:20 |
| bastid_raZor | Travis; #vmware may be a better channel | 13:20 |
| chilli0 | but not in cheese | 13:20 |
| savvas | perhaps it's not supported in cheese | 13:20 |
| lasivian | chilli0: my camera does the same thing, I think we're stuck unless you want to try cheese 2.24 which is not a package | 13:20 |
| chilli0 | savvas: dont think so | 13:20 |
| chilli0 | savvas: it says its using the webcam | 13:21 |
| fosco_ | lasivian: dpkg -l | grep vnc | 13:21 |
| CyBurnett | I installed vmware player on ubuntu hardy but when I try to open the virtual image i get cannot open..... insufficient privelages | 13:21 |
| chilli0 | lasivian: ? | 13:21 |
| white-sheep | lasivian -- Try sudo aptitude search <xyzpackage> and then you found the specific package, do the sudo aptitude show <xyzpackage> | 13:21 |
| lasivian | savvas: mind worked in cheese with a netbook prebuild version of 8.04, but failed in my own build of 8.10, yet like chilli0 it works not in Ekiga | 13:21 |
| Kinetic | Im trying to get my Ubuntu machine to be able to print from the printer attached to my Vista machine. The network sharing seems to work--i can seethe files on each machine, but I cant get Ubuntu to find the printer | 13:21 |
| white-sheep | lasivian -- Then you can read all abc's on your package. | 13:22 |
| lasivian | white-sheep: well, the VNC server was preloaded, not a package I added | 13:22 |
| chilli0 | lasivian: what is the cheese website | 13:22 |
| lasivian | chilli0: http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese | 13:23 |
| chilli0 | k thanks | 13:23 |
| mrwes | Kinetic: you try adding a printer from http://localhost:631 and use ipp | 13:23 |
| troythetechguy | Has anyone here used SpinRite? | 13:24 |
| savvas | troythetechguy: what for? | 13:24 |
| lasivian | white-sheep: figured it out, thanks :) | 13:25 |
| CyBurnett | Any help with this would be great. -Cannot open the disk '/home/****/.vmware/Haiku/vmhaiku-25-08-08/haiku.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: Insufficient permission to access file. | 13:25 |

| kelvin911 | cheese is useless | 13:26 |
| chilli0 | take pics | 13:26 |
| troythetechguy | savvas: Hard drive issues. | 13:26 |
| savvas | troythetechguy: try install software packages such as: dvdisaster gddrescue testdisk | 13:26 |
| lasivian | chilli0: does your camera turn around so it faces forward not just towards you? | 13:26 |
| Kinetic | mrwes: Well currently Im following this guide http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Printing-810.htm but when i get to adding a printer in Ubuntu I can only see my Vista machine shared folders...no printer | 13:26 |
| white-sheep | lasivian, Just got your message. No problem. How did you do it? | 13:26 |
| troythetechguy | savvas: Thanks for the tip. | 13:26 |
| lasivian | white-sheep: it was in fact a listed package, silly me :) | 13:27 |
| chilli0 | lasivian: it cant turn around | 13:27 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | Wasnt there some utility for creating customized install disks for Ubuntu? | 13:27 |
| kelvin911 | chilli0: u can do effect with gimp | 13:27 |

| kelvin911 | chilli0: just take the picture with camera | 13:28 |
| bonhoffer | i am trying to move files between two nautilus windows -- it is naturally possible to manually line them up, but in windows, i often find it helpful to automatically tile the windows | 13:28 |
| chilli0 | kelvin911: ok then , how can i take a pic? | 13:28 |
| kelvin911 | chilli0: press the button in your digital camera | 13:28 |

| bonhoffer | white-sheep, yea -- i was curious if it is recommended? | 13:40 |

| birkoff | Hey guys, I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a eeepc. I created the bootable usb stick and booted the system already ... thing is I can't get another tty to set up the cdrom and I also can't use the install option (I press enter and nothing happens) ... any ideas on how I should proceed ? | 13:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | birkoff, how did You make the bootable usb stick? | 13:48 |
| birkoff | Dr_willis_, I followed the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Manual%20Approach | 13:48 |
| savvas | birkoff: have you tried the ubuntu netbook remix? http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr | 13:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | birkoff, you may want to try the 'unetbootin' program to make a bootable thumbdrive - its worked for me. | 13:49 |
| birkoff | savvas, I am trying this for now !eeepc > savvas | 13:49 |
| birkoff | Dr_willis_, Yeah I tryed that ... didn't quite work ... so I went manual on it | 13:49 |
| Dr_willis_ | birkoff, ive also had unetbootin sucessfully make a install thumbdrive from the alternative isntaller iso files | 13:50 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| Dr_willis_ | Sounds like it may be mor eof an EEE issue. | 13:50 |
| Jeruvy | savvas: why is that netbook remix recommended for ppl's with coding skills? | 13:50 |
| birkoff | dr_willis_, I am not using the alternative iso file ... I just downloaded the regular 8.10 release ... is this ok ? | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | you could edit the boot configs on the thumbdrive where it select the isntall option automatically. Ive succesuffly installed from the 8.10 and ALtInstaller with Unetbootin. | 13:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | birkoff, whty do you need to 'setup the cdrom' at all? | 13:51 |
| savvas | Jeruvy: is it? I thought it has a better/easier interface for netbooks/notebooks | 13:51 |
| clitoral | I should be disconnected now | 13:51 |
| birkoff | Dr_willis_, cos eeepc doesn't come with a cd driver ... and I need to link it to the pen drive | 13:51 |
| Jeruvy | savvas: struck me odd as well. But it clearly states that beside the download link ;) | 13:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | Jeruvy, its a 'work in progress' | 13:51 |
| birkoff | Dr_willis_, also ... unebootin just ended up messing my usb stick | 13:52 |
| damian | привет | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | birkoff, i never needed to do so on My machines that had no cd.. the install files all came from the thumbdrive | 13:52 |
| savvas | Jeruvy: ah, probably not officially stable yet :) | 13:52 |
| birkoff | Dr_willis_, that's what I hoped for but the tutorial the bot (on this channel) gave to me said I needed to link it | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | birkoff, You also may try the 8.10 'make a usb-drive' option.. if you have access to a machine with 8.10 allready on it.. it may work better then unetbootin | 13:52 |
| birkoff | !eeepc > Dr_willis_ | 13:53 |
| ubottu | Dr_willis_, please see my private message | 13:53 |
| savvas | Jeruvy: if you know your way around with the terminal, killing and restarting stuff, then I suppose you should be ok :) | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis_ | I got an Acer Aspire One. :) | 13:53 |
| birkoff | Dr_willis_, I will give it a try | 13:53 |

| mrwes | Doc: you have Ubuntu running on it already? heh | 13:57 |
| savvas | tizbac: why would you want to do that? I think it'd hardcoded to use keyboard | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | mrwes, the 'linux' version was like $300 but for the extra $50 its worth getting the HD and more ram. | 13:57 |

| mrwes | Doc : I thought there were a lot of bugs with Jockey in 8.10 | 14:04 |
| savvas | tizbac: can you ask someone to reboot it physically then? | 14:04 |
| tizbac | then nvidia must hope that ATI doesn't release opensource drivers, because my nvidia gfx will be thrown out of he window | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis_ | GodfatherofEire, if the filesystem is some how currupted. it will get mounted read only. You proberly need to 'fsck' it first and fix any errors with the filesystem first. | 14:04 |
| eth01 | why? | 14:04 |
| tizbac | savvas: is my desktop computer, i have reset button | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis_ | mrwes, ive not noticed any with my 5 machines | 14:04 |

| tizbac | savvas: i want just see what happened excatly | 14:04 |
| savvas | tizbac: and if you reset it, the problem comes back? | 14:04 |
| savvas | ah | 14:04 |
| ferfactor | yesterday i was using gparted to move the wieght of the partition of my HD extern, but magically at the middle of the process the HD mount automatically and the resize of the partition failed..... now i ubuntu read the HD and i can see that the info that i hace size 100 gb but i can't see that, any way to repair that paritition? | 14:04 |
| tizbac | savvas: the problem is a long story | 14:05 |

| savvas | tizbac: are you sure you're using the proper drivers? can you post the output of: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 14:06 |
| perlsyntax | is this odd | 14:06 |
| tizbac | savvas: i tried, the ones from ubuntu repos, the stable from nvidia site and the beta | 14:06 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 14:06 |
| Dr_willis_ | GodfatherofEire, if a filesystem some how triggers an error - the system will 'remount' it as read only to pervent data curruption.. this can happen '10 min ago' or at any time..chedk dmesg logs.. and i would strongly suggest booting a live cd and manyually fscking the filesystem. xorg.conf changes will not affect the filesystem. :) | 14:06 |
| savvas | tizbac: wait, you tried them after the problem appeared, or did you install beta/nvidia-site ones before the problem appeared? | 14:07 |
| fmoo | How do I change the mirror that apt-get is pulling from? | 14:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | Dr_willis, alright, I'll be back in a bit | 14:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | GodfatherofEire, assuming this is a normal install and not some live-cd you are running from now.. at least. :) | 14:07 |

| veltsu | Dr_Willis, about the flash: I've tried installing flash from adobe's site, like firefox suggested. Then I did some searching and noticed there seemed to be something more to it than just that (as always). Just now I installed the flashplugin savvas suggested (running 32-bit) and at least youtube is working. Oddly enough, one other site still doesn't work so I'm downloading the restricted extras you recommended. We'll see... Thanks for your help, both Dr_Wil | 14:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | Dr_willis, running on a dual boot atm | 14:07 |
| perlsyntax | i get bash no ./configure still | 14:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | prova, --> !info geany showed geany in uninverse | 14:07 |
| tizbac | savvas: the problem appeared from when i bought the computer | 14:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | *Dr_willis_ ^^ | 14:07 |
| savvas | veltsu: you have to close and restart your internet browser (mozilla firefox?) in order to work ok | 14:07 |
| perlsyntax | anyone know | 14:08 |
| prova | what is the name of repository | 14:08 |
| veltsu | savvas, yes, I did and got Youtube working. The other site just didn't function | 14:08 |
| prova | ??? | 14:08 |
| Dr_willis_ | veltsu, i think you NEVER NEVER NEVER want to install flash from 'adobes' site.. use the package manager system's version. | 14:08 |
| GodfatherofEire | Well, Dr_willis_ I'll brb | 14:08 |
| savvas | tizbac: perhaps faulty graphics card? or is it working well with other operating systems (windows?)? | 14:08 |
| perlsyntax | hello | 14:08 |
| tizbac | savvas: with windoze i can play crysis at very high for hours | 14:08 |

| veltsu | svvas 8.10 | 14:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | veltsu, on a new install.. i install the ubuntu-restricted-extras , and other bits after i boot the first time..ane i never have flash issues. :) | 14:09 |
| veltsu | savvas | 14:09 |
| savvas | veltsu: which site? | 14:09 |
| tizbac | savvas: also some other people has that problem, but it is very very rare | 14:09 |
| perlsyntax | why will unbuntu 8.10 won't install my tar file | 14:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | !repo | prova | 14:09 |

| tizbac | savvas: maybe 50-60 people or less | 14:10 |
| savvas | tizbac: unfortunately, all you can do is complain to nvidia a loooot of times, providing them with logs etc.. nothing I can suggest beyond that - thank god my 7300gt is working ok :) | 14:10 |
| jimi_hendrix | kelvin911, is it ok if i ocationally ping the channel with my question to see if anyone might have an answer besides you? | 14:10 |
| veltsu | Dr_Willis, that's a good piece of information for me to know in the future. Sooner or later I think I'll do a "cleaning" install to get a fresh start. Now I just want to try I can get all needed stuff to work | 14:10 |
| savvas | tizbac: is your graphics card sharing/using a piece ram memory? maybe you need to change your ram, get something branded like kingston | 14:10 |
| tizbac | savvas: sent about 50-60 emails and posted on some forums | 14:11 |
| prova | hello in my synaptic package manager i do not have lynx and geany can some1 tell me what is the link to the repository for this?? | 14:11 |
| tizbac | savvas: i think it is using only it's memory | 14:11 |
| savvas | perlsyntax: what tar file? which application are you trying to install? link and name? | 14:11 |
| perlsyntax | i try tto install python 2.5.4 | 14:11 |
| veltsu | savvas, I think it was the typical "getflash" page that you're directed to when no flash is detected on your computer and you click "install plugin" | 14:12 |
| tizbac | savvas: anyway i think i'll buy ATI next time, i have 3 nvidia cards - 3 nvidia drivers bugs | 14:12 |
| gynterk | hello, is it possible to install ubuntu via installer which is on hdd? | 14:13 |

| axyjo | come one, come all to the all freenode wolf game. #freenode-newyears-wolf | 14:15 |
| savvas | veltsu: if you can see the flash movie at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ then you're ok. The "problem" shown there is because it can't find the adobe shockwave player | 14:15 |
| perlsyntax | ii try to install python 2.5.4 | 14:15 |
| savvas | veltsu: I mean there is no shockwave player for linux :) | 14:16 |
| gynterk | flash != shockwave | 14:16 |
| bazhang | axyjo, dont paste spam here | 14:16 |
| axyjo | bazhang: sry. | 14:17 |
| veltsu | savvas, so I guess I'm good then. Works nicely. Very odd though that I'm having problems with another site. Oh well, I'll keep testing. Thanks a bunch for your help | 14:17 |

| mrwes | Doc: great for a headless server | 14:25 |
| savvas | meho_: ask away, someone will reply | 14:25 |
| yugao | hej im Yugao and im new one on this | 14:25 |
| meho_ | I have ubuntu installed version 7.04 now i downloaded the latest i believe 8.10 now i want to boot from CD and install this latest version | 14:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | mrwes, i have isues with 'headless' :) always get a filesystem going bad.. and i dont know whats going on.. because ssh will be down since the boot process halted waiting for me to ctrl-d or 'enter password to get to a shell' so even my Headless fileservers. have a head.. :) not allways on.. | 14:26 |
| shubuntu | you could do aptitude dist-upgrade | 14:27 |
| meho_ | how | 14:27 |
| bazhang | meho_, you want to do a fresh install or upgrade to 7.10 first | 14:27 |
| meho_ | fresh install | 14:28 |
| mrwes | doc: yah but for everyday maintenance you can beat it. But like you said, it's nice to have a monitor when you need it | 14:28 |
| bazhang | meho_, then back up data and fresh install | 14:28 |
| meho_ | i am a noob btw | 14:28 |
| shubuntu | if you wanna delete everything off your machine, then delete and install from cd | 14:28 |
| bazhang | meho_, did you burn iso to cd yet | 14:28 |
| shubuntu | otherwise, just open a terminal | 14:28 |
| meho_ | i did | 14:28 |
| mrwes | doc: I always said.."it's nice to have a little head, then none" | 14:28 |
| mrwes | :) | 14:28 |
| shubuntu | type in: sudo aptitude update | 14:29 |
| mrwes | in regards to servers that is | 14:29 |
| mrwes | heh | 14:29 |
| shubuntu | then: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 14:29 |
| bazhang | shubuntu, actually with feisty that will not do it | 14:29 |

| meho_ | for some of the packages | 14:32 |
| bazhang | oh that one. meho_ you got the alternate cd? | 14:32 |
| meho_ | md5?? | 14:33 |
| bazhang | meho_, you cannot do a net upgrade with the cd as it is a much higher version | 14:33 |
| meho_ | i did try but i always get 404 errors on the archive | 14:33 |
| bazhang | meho_, assuming you are using the alternate cd here | 14:33 |
| bazhang | meho_, you need to switch your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com in that case and go to 7.10 first | 14:34 |

| TrentonH | Help? | 15:57 |
| kantxx | all | 15:57 |
| odinsbane | TrentonH thats the difficulty of installing dpgk files. You need to get all of the dependencies themselves. | 15:57 |
| Silvernotex | its not that lol | 15:57 |
| salmon | allsystemsarego: ok done, whats next? | 15:57 |
| cuddlefish | TrentonH: get the right .deb file | 15:57 |
| Silvernotex | The options just arnt there | 15:57 |
| allsystemsarego | sale, what was the output? | 15:57 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: Are you using Kubuntu or Ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| Silvernotex | Ubuntu | 15:58 |

| LetsGo67 | Schuenemann, Thoggen converts an image or actual DVD to Theora files. When I tried the actual Garfield DVD, I got 51 minutes, then it stopped encoding. I'm just worried that the same will happen again (though at one point, I did have a garfield.iso file - that I deleted in fear of the security guards - but the audio was missing?) | 16:00 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: Did you try Reinstalling Ubuntu on your laptop? | 16:00 |
| zorglu_ | q. what is the name of the sun java vm package ? | 16:00 |
| friel | quick question, is there a specific room for 64 bit unbuntu or sound problems? | 16:00 |
| Silvernotex | yes, Multiple times | 16:00 |
| cuddlefish | !64bit | 16:00 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 16:00 |
| Schuenemann | LetsGo67, perhaps the disc was protected? | 16:00 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: What version of Architecture of Ubuntu are you using? | 16:01 |
| cuddlefish | KTHXBAI!!! | 16:02 |
| Silvernotex | is that like 64 or 32 bit? | 16:02 |
| Silvernotex | 32 lol | 16:02 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: yes. | 16:02 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: try and download the 64 bit architecture, if your laptop is AMD Athalon 64-bit | 16:02 |
| LetsGo67 | Schuenemann, the disc *is* protected. But this happens all the time, during playback even. I had to waste 5 minutes, because Enchanted stopped playing about 3/4 of the way. Is it the "dual-layer transition" that causes VLC to stop playing a DVD after about 3/4? | 16:02 |
| Silvernotex | Its an Intel I think | 16:03 |
| Silvernotex | =/ | 16:03 |
| Silvernotex | Not entirely sure | 16:03 |
| nootrope | hello. how do i make an application i placed in a directory (/opt) run without getting the "Do you want to run "arduino" or display its contents?"? warning | 16:03 |
| LetsGo67 | Right now Garfield is at 1,5GB, for reference. | 16:03 |
| Silvernotex | its a Dell Inspiron 2600 | 16:03 |
| LetsGo67 | nootrope: I have the same problem playing Rock Band, reminds me of Windows... | 16:03 |
| Schuenemann | well, I don't know | 16:04 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: lol, to be honest, i never heard of it | 16:04 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: Wait,you mean the Laptop model? | 16:04 |
| roffe | I'm having some problems with ufw, but I was wondering if I could just skip it as I've got a firewall in my router anyway? | 16:04 |
| Silvernotex | yes | 16:04 |
| nootrope | LetsGo67, hah! yeah, i "love" that about Vista. | 16:04 |
| Nikola | Silvernotex: Oh lol | 16:04 |
| Silvernotex | the Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 2600 | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 16:04 |
| 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). | 16:04 |
| Silvernotex | lol | 16:04 |
| roffe | Sure jack, but is it necessary? | 16:05 |
| free | roffe - yes you may skip it | 16:05 |
| LetsGo67 | nootrope, yeah, it's a game, I clicked on it, and it's asking me whether I want to run it? Can anyone fix this problem, please? :) | 16:05 |
| autopsy | Do you guys have a statistics thing for Ubuntu downloads similar to Fedora's page here: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org:6969 | 16:05 |
| Nikola | autopsy: no. | 16:05 |
| roffe | Thanks free. Why does anyone use it? Doesn't pretty much everyone have a firewall in their routers anyway? | 16:05 |
| autopsy | Hm. Ok. | 16:05 |
| mathmoi | Hi, happy new year everyone. | 16:06 |
| nootrope | LetsGo67, it's not a problem. the file has to be given permission to execute somehow, but i don't know how | 16:06 |

| roffe | It's my birthday, and I just feel like shit getting older :( | 16:06 |
| roffe | free, allright! good enough answer | 16:06 |
| LetsGo67 | nootrope: you have a slightly different problem, then... isn't /opt a sudo directory? | 16:06 |
| tbic | I have a problem with my laptop, if I don't move the mouse or type on the keyboard it seems to almost lockup and the wifi quits | 16:07 |
| nootrope | LetsGo67, I made thatdir | 16:07 |
| LetsGo67 | TWO GIGS! | 16:07 |
| Nikola | roffe: Think of getting cool stuff when your older, you get your house, your own pay nd other kewl stuff :P | 16:07 |
| odinsbane | roffe routers are pretty easy to crack | 16:07 |
| nootrope | LetsGo67, at least i *think* i made it :) | 16:07 |
| Silvernotex | Tbic, I find on my 8.04 my laptop does that unless I have a mouse plugged in | 16:07 |
| LetsGo67 | nootrope: sorry, can't really help you... but I know it's annoying. | 16:07 |
| roffe | Nikola, I'm 24 today, and I was allowed all that since 18, so I rather not get any older :) | 16:08 |
| LetsGo67 | Who here thinks it's legal to put a movie on a MP4 player? | 16:08 |
| savvas | roffe: think of ufw as an extra layer of customizable, fit-to-your-needs simple firewall | 16:08 |
| roffe | odinsbane, yeah sure. I'm not afraid over here though, only old people. | 16:08 |

| bullgard4 | /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf uses the terms 'history list' and 'command history' side by side. What is the difference between both? | 16:09 |
| LetsGo67 | Jack_Sparrow but I am trying to rip a DVD *in Ubuntu* for the Nintendo DS! | 16:09 |
| mathmoi | I have a question that is not so ubuntu specific, so I hope it's OK to ask. under ubuntu, my home partition (ext3) was full and I deleted two files totaling 36 Gb and then emptied the recycle bin. But the system monitor does not show up a gain of 36 Gb. It was something like 1 Go. what's wrong? | 16:09 |
| roffe | nootrope, you can't imagine =) I'm unemployed though, so it feels like shit when you're not filling your CV | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LetsGo67, Your question was not on topic | 16:10 |
| LetsGo67 | Could've been... | 16:10 |
| nootrope | anyone have a pointer to docs on how to make something executable without the OS asking you what you want to do? | 16:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mathmoi, look n your trash folder | 16:10 |
| LetsGo67 | Two point five gigs complete! | 16:10 |
| thomc | Are there any usb wireless adapters that have particularly good ubuntu compatibility? | 16:10 |
| roffe | Nikola, sure hope so, but it looks like I'll get stuck with a gf pretty soon :/ | 16:10 |
| mathmoi | Jack_Sparrow: It's empty. | 16:10 |
| LetsGo67 | Speaking of wireless adapter, can you use one as an access point? | 16:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thomc, I have one.. just a sec | 16:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mathmoi, root has its own trash too. | 16:11 |
| mathmoi | Oh, I think I found what was wrong, the files were still used by a rogue process. | 16:11 |
| Nikola | roffe: Lucky you... | 16:11 |
| free | mathmoi - what does df -h or du -h shows? | 16:11 |
| LetsGo67 | For example, I have this crappy old computer, I hook up a USB wireless adapter, so my laptop and stuff can use the Net? | 16:11 |

| ikonia | iSchadow: nothing to do with ubuntu, there are support resources on mint's website | 16:47 |

| mortuis99 | this is new for me and i dont know HOW to set it up to do it | 16:47 |
| ikonia | rezaa: cron does not have a "DISPLAY" set, so it won't launch | 16:47 |

| rezaa | ikonia: what should I do | 16:48 |
| mortuis99 | store and retrieve data on them | 16:48 |
| ikonia | rezaa: why would you want firefox to start every minute, it would crash your system | 16:48 |

| ikonia | studente: if you do "ls" in that directory what do you see ? | 16:52 |

| ikonia | studente: it's not really mounted from what I'm reading, and it doesn't look like your mounting a samba share | 16:52 |

| Squideshi | studente: No video driver is specified in xorg.conf. I believe it's autodetecting the hardware. That's the problem. How do I find out what it is using? | 16:57 |

| The_Joe_ | I just realised something - What happened to uSplash? | 17:05 |
| savvas | aata: only aptoncd, but you'll have to track the downloaded packages, i.e. for updating purposes, use a clean install on the computer without updating, install aptoncd, update and then use aptoncd to create a cd to move the updates to the other computer | 17:05 |

| erpo | What is the difference between the two versions of the nvidia drivers offered: 173 and 177. Why were two different versions included with Ubuntu 8.10? | 17:09 |
| pillow | studente: I can't figure out how to look that up.. | 17:09 |
| crdlb | erpo: because some older cards are not supported by 177 | 17:09 |
| crdlb | erpo: if you have a 6 series or newer, you can use 177 | 17:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aata, all of repo main will fit on a usb.. | 17:09 |
| nootrope | pillow, type about:plugins in FF's address bar | 17:09 |
| studente | pillow: and then press "enter" | 17:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erpo, some cards cant handle 177 | 17:10 |
| nootrope | studente, oh, yeah, there's that too. :) | 17:10 |
| erpo | crdlb: I'm not getting much on google. Do you know where I can read more about the differences between 173 and 177? | 17:10 |
| pillow | nootrope: thx | 17:10 |
| erpo | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, including my Quadro FX 570 (GeForce 8600 equivalent). ;) | 17:11 |
| crdlb | erpo: that's because they're the same driver; 177 is just a newer version | 17:11 |
| studente | nootrope: :) | 17:11 |
| crdlb | erpo: use 177 unless it doesn't work | 17:11 |
| savvas | aata: then do as I mentioned previously, clean install on a computer with internet your version of ubuntu, update, install xorg, install aptoncd and use it to make a cd/dvd with the acquired packages | 17:11 |
| erpo | crdlb: It doesn't work, even though I have a Quadro FX 570, which is equivalent to a GeForce 8600 :P. | 17:11 |

| savvas | aata: then you weren't clear enough :P If you have the packages copy them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 17:13 |
| helpmaster | hello | 17:13 |
| aata | Jack_Sparrow, true except to install xserver-xorg etc that means sifting through alot of pkgs no? | 17:13 |
| cheater-conrad | will the ubuntu 8.10 cd install on an already made ext4 partition | 17:13 |
| helpmaster | can u all see this message | 17:13 |
| erpo | crdlb: I'm using it right now. I just wanted to know why 177, which was recommended, didn't work. | 17:14 |
| nootrope | helpmaster, yes | 17:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aata, You said you had all tha packages. | 17:14 |
| helpmaster | cool | 17:14 |
| n8tuser | rezaa - i dont know then, i have already told you, normally cron does not have a control terminal, read up on google | 17:14 |
| pillow | nootrope: maby if i just tweak it a little. Right now its crashing randomly, freezing my computer, and now its not letting me high light stuff. | 17:14 |
| symptom | xav_, what you need to do is burn the image, then put the cd in the tray and then reboot your machine, change the BIOS to boot the cd and then hit enter when the alt install screen appears. | 17:14 |
| helpmaster | sorry im not asking a question, but who is the operator here | 17:14 |
| nootrope | pillow, that's not common behavior | 17:14 |
| crdlb | erpo: presumably a bug; something that new is definitely supposed to be supporteed. 177 fails to start at all and reverts to failsafe? | 17:14 |
| rezaa | n8tuser: alright, thank you very much | 17:14 |
| aata | Jack_Sparrow i do have them. but when you install xserver it needs to gather all its dependencies and libs, no? and those are SEVERAL | 17:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | helpmaster, /j #Ubuntu-ops | 17:15 |
| symptom | xav_, when you download the ISO dont just burn the file to the disc you have to "burn image to disc" or something very similar to that. Why are you using hte alt anyway? | 17:15 |
| nootrope | pillow, i'd suspect an add-on you have | 17:15 |
| Finnish | What is the best way to convert .mts-videos to more common format, like avi etc? | 17:15 |
| pillow | nootrope: ill just toss them all | 17:15 |
| savvas | aata: again, you said you have them *all*. that means you have gathered the dependencies too :) | 17:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aata, that is the point we were trying to make.. if you dont have all the dependencies you dont have all the packages | 17:15 |
| nootrope | pillow, just toss the ones that use lots of Javascript | 17:15 |
| the[V]oid | hi, can anyone tell me why audio recording is not working for me? everytime I click on the "test" button in the ubuntu audio config dialog, I get this error: "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open this ressource for writing." | 17:15 |
| nootrope | pillow, or deactivate them one at a time and test | 17:16 |
| xav_ | symptom: the live wouldn't install, or boot live. so i have to use the alt. I'm using poweriso, i can just use the burn function on it, right? | 17:16 |
| helpmaster | join #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:16 |
| aata | Jack_Sparrow but i DO have al lthe dependencies. its just that sifting through a directory tree and gathering them al into one place is a task and a half | 17:16 |
| nootrope | helpmaster, you need a slash before that | 17:16 |
| helpmaster | oh | 17:16 |
| symptom | should be able to... Ive never used poweriso before. | 17:16 |
| erpo | crdlb: One of two things happens. Scenario 1: I can log in once, but when I log out I get a back screen. Powering off the laptop is the only way to fix it (no ctrl-alt-backspace, no alt-sysrq). Scenario 2: GDM does not display. Instead, I get a garbled failsafe mode. | 17:16 |
| symptom | xav_, do you know how to change your boot options in your BIOS? | 17:16 |
| erpo | crdlb: s/back/black/ | 17:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aata, how big is your usb | 17:16 |
| aata | 1 gb | 17:17 |
| aata | Jack_Sparrow ^^ | 17:17 |
| xav_ | symptom: alright, i'll see what i can do. Thanks. yeah all my boot stuff is good, the live disc just wouldnt run or install. I messed with it for hours. Someone reccommended the alt, so i'm going to try that. | 17:17 |
| savvas | aata: It'd be easier then if you just take your tower and do the job directly :) | 17:17 |
| freedumMan | which package has the XSLT for php on ubuntu? | 17:18 |
| axisys | how do I pull the linux kernel source tree ubuntu way? | 17:18 |
| aata | savvas tower? | 17:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aata, Most of the time you can install most build dependencies as in this example: sudo apt-get build-dep xvidcap , that will install all the -dev packages that the xvidcap package says it needs to compile | 17:18 |

| symptom | xav_, i doubt you will have much luck. if the live cd doesnt boot then the alt wont either... | 17:19 |
| crdlb | erpo: I have no idea how to debug that, but 173 is relatively new still, so I'd stick with that. You could try a future version (180 probably) if you upgrade ubuntu in April | 17:19 |

| tavi | savvas: yes | 17:22 |
| maggot | xav_: maybe a bad burn really | 17:22 |
| savvas | tavi: then find it somewhere in the preferences/settings :) | 17:23 |
| xav_ | symptom: the disc worked on a different pc, so that isn't the problem. it was an "official" one too, sent to me | 17:23 |
| tavi | savvas: i searched | 17:23 |
| wilstone | Hi, trying to update something in terminal but I get a "Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?" statement without a chance to continue, so I get "unrecognised input, aborted"....is there an easy way round this? | 17:23 |
| tavi | i finded i modified | 17:23 |
| tavi | but nothing happens | 17:23 |
| savvas | tavi: or right-click on the main window and look for subtitle options, size or whatever | 17:23 |
| symptom | very odd... yea try the alt, and if that doesnt work try xubuntu | 17:23 |
| baber | i can't use sudo su command when i type sudo su this message appear sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 | 17:23 |
| troythetechguy | Jack_Sparrow: Which model of TOSHIBA do you have, and which version of Ubuntu did you use/ | 17:23 |
| tavi | savvas: at right click nothing happens | 17:23 |
| savvas | tavi: I think you have to press save/apply, close the menu, close kmplayer and restart it. | 17:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | troythetechguy, One of the satellites and the last install was hardy.. I think.. | 17:24 |
| n2diy | wilstone: what are you trying to update, and where did you get it from? | 17:24 |
| tavi | savvas: is so stupid? | 17:24 |
| savvas | tavi: does it mention a shortcut next to the right-click for subtitle size? | 17:24 |
| xav_ | symptom: yeah if i can't get this i'll try a different linux version for sure. so many people like ubuntu tho so i figured i'd try it out. i have an eee with xandros on it and i love it. | 17:24 |
| onetinsoldier | hello all | 17:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | babbsudo su is not the best way to work | 17:24 |
| wilstone | n2diy, i'm trying to update my dell bios, so it's trustworthy | 17:24 |
| tavi | savvas: like i said at fright click nothing happens | 17:24 |
| tavi | savvas: nothign is showed | 17:25 |
| roffe | Flash playback is painfully slow on linux for some reason, does anyone know of a way to increase it or use another flash-player? | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | baber, sudo su is not the best way to work | 17:25 |
| aaronr | okay, so i have a server with a SMART failure on one of it's disks. | 17:25 |
| maggot | xav_: you could try linux mint, it's based on ubuntu, but with extras and it's faster | 17:25 |
| aaronr | i've got a new drive in there with a clean 8.10 install | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maggot, Yuch.. please dont pimp mint in here | 17:25 |
| symptom | well xubuntu runs a minimal x system | 17:25 |
| DaveEngland | hello! I have a question.. can anybody tell me, why the open and close animations dont actualy animate, when i turn them on? I turn them on in the compiz settings manager! | 17:25 |
| savvas | tavi: yes, but do you SEE if it says on the right a shortcut command, like "+" or "Shift+Something" ? | 17:25 |
| aaronr | i figured i could chroot to the new drive and get all the relevant packages installed | 17:25 |
| aaronr | but that isn't happening. :/ | 17:25 |
| tobberoth | Jesus, everytime I enable the NVidia driver now, my GNOME stops working :( :( | 17:25 |
| tavi | savvas: nothing | 17:25 |
| maggot | sorry | 17:25 |
| wilstone | n2diy: running as root (I know this is normally a bad idea, but dell so...) wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash | 17:25 |
| symptom | xav_, but xubuntu is still ubuntu | 17:25 |
| baber | Jack_Sparrow: i want update and i need enter with sudo what do i have to do? | 17:26 |
| aaronr | apt just throws loads of errors | 17:26 |
| troythetechguy | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the info. I'm deciding between an Acer Aspire, or a TOSHIBA Satellite. Your comments, along with a blog I found, sound like the TOSHIBA Satellite is a little more difficult to get Ubuntu, or Linux running. | 17:26 |
| xav_ | maggot: i'll look into it. | 17:26 |
| symptom | just tweeked | 17:26 |
| symptom | !xubuntu | 17:26 |
| 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 | 17:26 |

| savvas | n2diy: I know :) | 17:26 |
| n2diy | wilstone: Hmmm, that is scary. You might find help in #ubuntu-kernel? | 17:26 |
| tavi | savvas: what kind of player is this? | 17:26 |
| tavi | savvas: and what kind of help it is | 17:27 |
| tavi | ? | 17:27 |
| aaronr | (so i can "rsync -someparams / /new" or something? | 17:27 |

| gubuntu | is there any svn client for gnome integrated with nautilus? | 17:28 |
| roffe | maggot: Yes, the playback stutters and is generally slow, but I thought this was common that flash-support on linux was crap | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | baber, just sudo the command sudo su is not the best way | 17:28 |
| maggot | DaveEngland: is compiz running? try compiz --replace | 17:28 |
| puremichael | gubuntu, no; just some extensions to context menu | 17:28 |
| opiemsith1 | Can someone help me getting my ov518 webcam to work? I compiled and installed the latest ov51x-jpeg and the camera is detected but on camorama, xawtv, and camstream the only thing i can view is a flickering green screen | 17:29 |

| Aji-Daha1a | huh, some of my windows (kopete for instance) are not updating properly | 17:30 |
| roffe | maggot: latest version? You mean flash 10 or a later version of 10? | 17:30 |

| ksbalaji | No video in Totem error message: ** (totem:9058): DEBUG: Creating object of type YouTube+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:9058): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance (totem:9058): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed | 17:31 |
| maggot | whileimhere: install soundcoverter, it's a gui converter | 17:31 |
| DaveEngland | onetinsoldier, direct rendering: Yes <- that is the response! | 17:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | baber, What exactly are you trying to do? Ask that as your question not just what command you want to use | 17:31 |
| puremichael | gubuntu, yes, something like nautilus scripts and nautilus script manager... i would recommend to do a google search since i've forgot most | 17:31 |
| maggot | whileimhere: soundconverter i meant | 17:32 |
| roffe | maggot: Darn, it's the one I'm using | 17:32 |
| baber | Jack_Sparrow: apt-get update | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | baber, sudo apt-get update wont work? | 17:32 |
| whileimhere | maggot: I have done that but soundconverter does not allow me to select a bitrate for wav | 17:32 |
| onetinsoldier | DaveEngland: ok, good. i think you just need to add the 'Composite' Extenstion to your xorg.conf file. do you know how to edit your xorg.conf file? make a backup of it first prior to editing it! | 17:33 |
| roffe | maggot: I have an infamous graphics-card though, I guess it has to do with it then.. | 17:33 |
| maggot | whileimhere: you could try googling for ffmpeg tutorials | 17:33 |
| baber | Jack_Sparrow: no this command not work when i type it this message appera sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 | 17:33 |
| maggot | roffe: guess so | 17:33 |
| DaveEngland | onetinsoldier, i figured it out! Im just lame.. and didnt know, that you need to add first an effect! Sorry... :( | 17:34 |

| onetinsoldier | collan: ok, so, you still have to get a real monitor? | 17:36 |
| baber | Jack_Sparrow: i could use sudo command but now this error appear | 17:36 |

| nibbler_ | kapipi: fuser 1234/tcp | 17:44 |
| maggot | adil: save the code to whatever.py in your home, then open terminal and run python whatever.py | 17:44 |
| odinsbane | kantxx have you looked at deluge? | 17:44 |
| lassesandberg | kantxx : try ktorent, althought it tends to suck at times | 17:44 |
| Itaku | does wubi work on windows 7? | 17:44 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume nibbler_ | 17:44 |
| Odd-rationale | kapipi: transmission is the default client in ubuntu. | 17:44 |
| adi1 | where is the code? | 17:44 |
| kantxx | or is there a way to get the older version of azurues? | 17:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Itaku, I wont use nor recommend using wubi.. | 17:45 |
| maggot | adil: download this file http://www.speedyshare.com/322188674.html | 17:45 |
| Itaku | why not? | 17:45 |
| adi1 | ok | 17:45 |
| lassesandberg | kantxx: you can probably find that if you google, someone must have a installer backup from before they started all that vuze crap | 17:45 |
| nibbler_ | bazhang: my question was more like: why is trucrypt not in the ubuntu repositories? | 17:45 |
| Itaku | Jack_Sparrow: how else would i use it without a cd? | 17:45 |
| jtaji | kapipi: try netstat -tulp | 17:45 |
| adi1 | done. | 17:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Itaku, Read the wubi fact sheet | 17:45 |
| lassesandberg | kantxx: just remember to turn updates off then after install | 17:45 |
| maggot | adil: put it in your home directory and run 'python gstequalizer.py' from terminal | 17:45 |
| bazhang | nibbler_, ubuntu has its own encryption setup | 17:45 |
| adi1 | ok | 17:45 |

| adi1 | i have a window with 10 band equalizer | 17:47 |
| kulight | is there any way of making eclipse do autocomplete code without pressing any key ? | 17:47 |
| nibbler_ | bazhang: well, thought its good practice to include alternatives normally, like gnome/kde, 12 dozends of mediaplayers etc, and truecrypt also is the only crypting solution easily available on windows aswell | 17:47 |
| maggot | adil: now click the test button so you can test the equalizer in real time with an audio file | 17:47 |
| nibbler_ | bazhang: but if there is no special reason for it to be excluded.... ok with me, too... just interested | 17:47 |

| MadXafiar | i got a HP laptop dv6000 series, does ubuntu recognizes all hardware it got? like the bluetooth, webcam? i dont want anything to go to waste. what about applications that work with windows, do they work with ubuntu too? | 18:30 |
| nDuff | mustang2, I'm assuming this is a new install, and that you haven't installed or licensed the relevant codecs? | 18:30 |
| cayal | Go into the BIOS and set Ubuntu to the default, maybe? That might be in GRUB, actually. | 18:30 |
| Locked_out | Hmmmm | 18:30 |
| mustang2 | I have installed quite a bit of stuff using apt-get (dvd libs) but it still isn't working. I upgraded from 8.04 when 8.10 came out | 18:31 |
| Locked_out | Maxim - The prompt says <grup> | 18:31 |
| nDuff | mustang2, if you buy a system with Ubuntu preinstalled from Dell (for example), they will have paid for licensed DVD codecs. Otherwise, you can buy a license yourself, or install them anyhow at-your-own-risk. | 18:31 |
| Locked_out | <grub> | 18:31 |
| cayal | MadXafiar, Windows .exe files don't work by default in Ubuntu. However, they work pretty good with WINE, the windows compatility layer for Ubuntu. | 18:31 |
| allsystemsarego | MadXafiar, run a livecd and check the hardware list | 18:31 |
| chupy | hateball: at the begining it seems like it gonna crash but the it reproduce it | 18:31 |
| cayal | If it's games you're talking about, you can use CrossOver Games or Cedega. | 18:31 |
| nDuff | mustang2, right, installing the codecs yourself isn't an apt-gettable operation, at least not with the default sources; there's a shell script you can run that'll download them, google can find it. | 18:32 |
| MadXafiar | alright, im a complete nub with OS so, can someone that is relatively good with it PM me so we can talk a bit, plz? | 18:32 |
| maximus_1 | Locked_out: http://linuxgazette.net/107/tomar.html | 18:32 |
| mustang2 | nDuff, these are not licensed dvds, these are dvds that I have burned with a panasonic dvd unit. (recorded tv shows) | 18:32 |
| chupy | hateball: maybe the problem is amarok 2? | 18:32 |
| nDuff | mustang2, ahh. hrm, then... are they not recognized *at all*, or does the disk come up in the file browser but won't play? | 18:32 |
| onetinsoldier | mustang2: you might try enabling medibuntu if you haven't yet | 18:33 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: no guarentee but you may need to do this: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 18:33 |
| ksbalaji | Found something funny - in fullscreen mode, controls hidden, movie player and xine players show video. In windowed mode, just a beautiful jet black square is shown. Help! | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mustang2, Did you finalize them on the panasionic.. I have one of those myself | 18:33 |
| mustang2 | nDuff, it loads it and shows DVD_VIDEO_RECORDER on my desktop but it shows 0 files and 0 bytes | 18:33 |
| mustang2 | Jack_Sparrow, yes, I did finalize the disc | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mustang2, I had to ask | 18:34 |
| DaveEngland | maximus_1, now i get this error -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/97775/ | 18:34 |
| DaveEngland | :S | 18:34 |
| maximus_1 | ksbalaji: could be compositing messing with stuff | 18:34 |
| gamerred2 | How I get flex? | 18:34 |
| cayal | Jack_Sparrow, what in that config file controls transparency? | 18:34 |
| cayal | I can't find it. | 18:34 |
| maximus_1 | DaveEngland: isn't that the same error? | 18:34 |
| maximus_1 | DaveEngland: where did you get these sources? | 18:35 |
| deany | gamerred2: why are you trying to install wine from source when they have a repo for it | 18:35 |
| ksbalaji | maximus_1, ? compositing - of course I have messed up something. can you help sorting out please?/ | 18:35 |
| krzd | hi | 18:35 |
| gamerred2 | Not for 1.1.11 they have for earlier deany | 18:35 |
| krzd | how do i set up dual head without the nvidia driver (the driver doesn't work at my system) | 18:35 |
| deany | add the winehq repo | 18:35 |
| deany | ive got it installed :) | 18:35 |
| DaveEngland | maximus_1, http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=mill3d&filename=Mill3D-0.1.tar.gz&use_mirror=switch | 18:35 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, I have just ran that command. should changes be instant if it worked? | 18:35 |
| maximus_1 | ksbalaji: turn off all the desktop effects in Appearance or whatever | 18:36 |
| chupy | hateball: yes whe i close amarok2 and all is alright what can be? | 18:36 |
| deany | http://winehq.org under Get wine now, theres info for ubuntu | 18:36 |
| Ferchault | hello - sometimes I'm not able to open my dvd-drive. Neigher with nautilus nor with eject -T. Even pressing the eject-button on the drive itself does not work. lsof does not list any processes accessing /dev/dvd. Any ideas what to do / read? | 18:36 |
| maximus_1 | ksbalaji: probably won't help, but if things are working in fullscreen and not windowed, that seems like the problem | 18:36 |
| NyCk23 | hi, can someone help me, my mouse and keyboard are acting up, anyway to reinstall drivers or reset sooomething | 18:36 |
| nDuff | mustang2, if you ran that, restart your player and it *should* be able to play commercial DVDs. If it'll play those and won't play DVDs from your Panasonic, that at least provides a specific place to look for issues. | 18:36 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: i'm not sure you probably need to re-insert a dvd, no booting is necessary. | 18:37 |
| ksbalaji | maximus_1, let me try disabling effects | 18:37 |
| ced_ | Ferchault: try sudo umount /dev/dvd | 18:37 |
| gamerred2 | got wine 1.1.11 source but says no suitable flex when I try to use it btw | 18:37 |
| mustang2 | I just ejected and pushed it back in, still says there is nothing on it | 18:38 |
| deany | ok, quickly. gamerred2 from shell, wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - then sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine | 18:38 |
| maximus_1 | DaveEngland: I'm currently downloading all the dev packages. | 18:38 |
| Chipmunkzors | Hey could someone help me out with how to install ubuntu onto a external firewire hd? | 18:38 |
| moza | happy new year to all of you. I'm here to get some advice about gnome : what should i do when it is not working properly? try to fix the problems one by one or trying to ignore the problems or upgrade to ibex despite the risk of bigger problems? | 18:38 |
| bthornton | I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on my laptop and am trying to browse the files on my Treo 650 smartphone (it has a 1GB SD card in it), but when I try to browse the files I get a window that says "Could not display Obex:// [...] Error: Service search failed". Anyone famililar with this? | 18:38 |
| Chipmunkzors | Whilst preserving the windows insatllation | 18:38 |
| DaveEngland | maximus_1, ok! | 18:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gamerred2, try /join #Winehq | 18:38 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: can it read any other dvd? | 18:38 |
| === bernhard_ is now known as babyrobbe | ||
| mustang2 | lumpycam, should I try a movie dvd? (commercial) | 18:39 |
| Ferchault | ced_: the drive is empty | 18:39 |
| cayal | Whenever U try to open paste.ubuntu.com in Firefox I get a tiny little popup window with nothing in it that steals focus and prevents anything from loading. | 18:39 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: yes i would try anything, is it auto-mounting? | 18:39 |
| === custom_ is now known as ferfactor | ||

| deany | gamerred2: also worth noting that the wine in the ubuntu repo is the "stable" build and the latest ones on winehq are considered beta which add support for newer apps, fix bugs and sometimes break stuff ...i use it myself fine tho | 18:42 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, you want to install ubuntu on an external hdd that is connected via firewire to a windoze computer | 18:42 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: it's mounting then. is that a blank dvd? | 18:42 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, nope | 18:42 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: Yeah | 18:42 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: is totem installed? | 18:42 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, yes | 18:42 |
| cayal | http://paste.ubuntu.com/97778/ This is what I get trying to launch XChat from terminal. | 18:42 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: weird. | 18:42 |
| mustang2 | I just inserted a Harry Potter disc and it is reading it | 18:43 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, why not resize or edit your partitions and dual boot windoze and ubuntu? Is there anything on the external hdd? | 18:43 |
| deany | cayal: why run from shell? | 18:43 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: so, what are you trying to do. it must be a codec issue, not sure. | 18:43 |
| cayal | I'm just going to wipe and reinstall XChat. | 18:43 |
| cayal | Deanny, I can't from the GUI. | 18:43 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: My internal drive has very limited space and no there isnt on the external. It's a shared computer also and I dont want to hog whats remaining of the hd. | 18:44 |
| cayal | I at least want to see something before it dies when starting up. | 18:44 |
| deany | cayal: i dont know much about xchat apart from i dont like... have you tried rm -rf .xchat | 18:44 |
| lumpycam | cayal: avoid xchat-gnome, just get/use xchat | 18:44 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, I am ultimately trying to get it to read my finalized dvds from my panasonic unit so I can use HandBrake to convert to .mp4s so I can put them on my iPod | 18:44 |
| cayal | Will do, deany and lumpycam. | 18:44 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, you could install ubuntu on the internal and put your home directory on the external? | 18:45 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: can you see any data from the command line, example ls /media/cdrom0 | 18:46 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: How much space will the installation take? | 18:46 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: Is it that hard to install all onto the external? | 18:46 |
| mustang2 | It displays stuff on the harry potter disc | 18:46 |
| mustang2 | want me to ls the panasonic disc? | 18:47 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: absolutely yes | 18:47 |
| ksbalaji | maximus_1, you are right! without effects, xine and totem gnome player movie player - all work well ! you are genius! now can I have the effects also pleeeaasse? | 18:47 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, no, shouldn't be a problem, especially if there is nothing on the external hdd you wouldnt mind beiing nooked | 18:48 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: So how would I go about installing onto it. Is it just the normal installation except I select the external? | 18:48 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, ls: cannot access /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS: Permission denied VIDEO_TS | 18:49 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, You just need to setup your GRUB bootloader correctly and you can auto-boot into your OS of choice (or select manually) from a separate hard drive. | 18:49 |
| whuffor | Hi! What package should I install to be able to compile applications from source? I have some vague recollection that there is a package besides gcc | 18:50 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: try sudo ls | 18:50 |
| eseven73 | whuffor>> build-essential maybe? | 18:50 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, sudo ls /media/cdrom0 VIDEO_TS | 18:50 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, correct, Make Sure you select the external hdd, or else you data on the internal drive will be overwritten | 18:50 |
| whuffor | Ah yes. That sounds familiar. Thanks, eseven73 | 18:50 |
| eseven73 | :) | 18:51 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: Sorry its been I while since I used Ubuntu. When do you setup the GRUB options. After the Ubuntu setup? Also could you make it so it it auto loads the firewire when its there but windows when it isnt? | 18:51 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: try ls -la ...do you see your files | 18:51 |
| kusok_sna | can anyone suggest torrent client with gui? | 18:51 |

| maximus_1 | DaveEngland: unless you like debugging others' code, I wouldn't mess with that | 18:52 |
| deany | ksbalaji: smplayer is better | 18:52 |
| ksbalaji | maximus_1, ? | 18:52 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, http://paste.ubuntu.com/97782/ | 18:52 |
| exodus_ms | Chipmunkzors, the new version of Ubuntu should set up your grub automatically. Just make sure you select your external drive when you install Ubuntu. The grub menu will appear everytime you start your computer, you will need to select which OS you want to boot into, if it's not install (the firewire cable) is not plugged in, just choose windoze from the grub menu | 18:53 |
| Chipmunkzors | exodus_ms: Thanks mate, been a big help. Seeya. | 18:53 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: do ls -l /media/cdrom/VIDEO_TS | 18:53 |
| ksbalaji | deany, maximus_1 told rightly that I have messed something with effects that made video blank out in windowed mode. I seek help to get effects and the video. | 18:53 |
| Aegeon | has anyone else noticed 8.10 running alot slower than 8.04? | 18:54 |
| maximus_1 | ksbalaji: thanks, but unfortunately desktop effects are buggy | 18:54 |
| data_art | hello | 18:54 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, ls: cannot access /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS: Permission denied | 18:54 |
| mustang2 | I would sudo it | 18:54 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: nope. runs just as fast as 8.04 here | 18:54 |
| mustang2 | but the thing is you can't sudo a cd lol | 18:54 |
| Zzeiss | For some reason, my dvd burner is now totally ignored. No clue why. Any ideas? | 18:54 |
| deany | ATI card by any chance? | 18:55 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: in fact, i would say faster, in that my network is setup for me, _before_ logging in to the gui | 18:55 |
| Aegeon | its odd for me, i have a p4 2.0ghz with 512mb and a q6600 with 4gb ram and both seem slower with 8.10 :\ | 18:55 |
| Aegeon | my main pc just seems alittle sluggish around gnome | 18:55 |
| Aegeon | but the p4 is horrifically slow | 18:55 |
| maximus_1 | ksbalaji: you might try using mplayer instead, but desktop effects probably won't work well | 18:55 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: 512mb ram is a bit light | 18:55 |
| Aegeon | and i've never had troubles with it before | 18:55 |
| Aegeon | eightyeight, i know it is a bit light but still, what's hogging up so much memory | 18:55 |
| Zzeiss | The dvd burner worked just fine on when I left work. Now it doesn't. (the machine is a macbook unibody laptop running 8.10) | 18:56 |
| Aegeon | ive been running some form of linux on it since i got it :\ | 18:56 |
| raylu | Aegeon: free -m | 18:56 |
| ksbalaji | maximus_1, no problem. Since you have broken the ice, I can go further to tinket the effets thing. Earlier it was dead end with a black blank windowed video! | 18:56 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: there's a lot of stuff starting in gnome, probably. check System > Preferences > Sessions. you probably have bluetooth running, and other things you don't need | 18:56 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: that, and firefox. :) | 18:56 |
| Aegeon | lol | 18:56 |
| === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac | ||
| eseven73 | maybe go with a lighter window environment like xubuntu | 18:56 |
| Aegeon | i would but i planned on giving it to my girl who knows jack about linux lol so going to a lighter wm would make things more difficult for her | 18:57 |
| W8TAH | happy new year -- how can i securely delete a user and all of their files? | 18:57 |
| Aegeon | although | 18:57 |
| eseven73 | Xubuntu is just as easy as Gnome | 18:58 |
| Aegeon | i havent used xfce in almost 4-5 years i bet it's improved alot since then | 18:58 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: xfce isn't bad actually. fairly user friendly | 18:58 |
| deany | ksbalaji: what video card have you got | 18:58 |
| eseven73 | Aegeon>> it has, greatly | 18:58 |
| ksbalaji | deany, think it is an old ATI Radeon exp200 running with the help of envyNG | 18:59 |
| Aegeon | i think i might just rebuild the kernel | 18:59 |
| Aegeon | from scratch and just build in all the modules needed | 18:59 |
| mustang2 | lumpycam, I got it to work lol | 18:59 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: i think that's a bit excessive. you probably just have services running that you can chop out, and free up some ram | 18:59 |
| polemon | ok, this a LOT of people i here | 18:59 |
| lumpycam | Aegeon: at the moment i'm running 8.10 gnome on a pentium 4, 1.7 ghz w/384 mb ram, it runs fine. | 19:00 |
| polemon | does anybody know anything about tinyirc? | 19:00 |
| mustang2 | all I had to do was delete 4 characters in my /etc/fstab. thanks so much for the help! :) | 19:00 |
| eightyeight | Aegeon: but, if you're familiar with complining a kernel and modules from source, go far it man. no better way to get a custom system than that | 19:00 |
| ksbalaji | deany, I remember that before envyNG there was no effects. - lot of water flowed thereafter. With envyNG, I got all the effects stuf. | 19:00 |
| DonkeyKong | hey ppl | 19:00 |
| lumpycam | mustang2: great, happy new year, copy them files :) | 19:00 |
| deany | i have desktop effects off, they are nice to look at but end of the day i want my system as fast as poss and they get old pretty quick | 19:00 |
| dmole | anyone want to tray and make ubuntu mount a hard drive? just like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/302960 | 19:00 |
| mustang2 | you too! :) | 19:00 |
| Aegeon | lumpycam, are you using nvidia kernel module and if so which version? | 19:00 |
| Aegeon | maybe thats causing some troubles | 19:00 |
| Aegeon | i've read that some of the older cards are having troubles with the newer drivers | 19:01 |
| polemon | lol nvidia drivers | 19:01 |
| Aegeon | eightyeight, yea im pretty familiar with linux i've been using it for about 10 years :\ ubuntu has just made me lazy :P | 19:01 |
| ksbalaji | deany, now I think somehow I got the effects to damage multimedia video window into a black square. | 19:01 |
| lumpycam | Aegeon: ATI card. effects disabled, generic ati driver, er radeon i believe. | 19:01 |
| polemon | the legacy drivers have issues with Terminus | 19:01 |

| deany | set the player to use "xv" i personally prefer smplayer, its a frontend for mplayer thats a LOT better than mplayers default and works welll.. ive tried a lot of em as ive had video playback problems | 19:05 |
| anthony | ok, I just setup a brand new Ubuntu server 8.04 when I try to do a "apt-get update" it cannot find anything | 19:06 |
| devz0r | i used to love smplayer | 19:06 |
| anthony | I looked at ifconfig for the gw address | 19:06 |
| anthony | found it on route | 19:06 |
| anthony | but now, I'm stuck | 19:06 |
| exodus_ms | !sources | 19:06 |

| devz0r | but totem works great for me now | 19:06 |
| eseven73 | devz0r>> i think he meant tweakable when he said hackable | 19:06 |
| nickrud | anthony, that means your system is up to date. Look in system->admin->synaptic for stuff to add | 19:06 |
| deany | lack of options in totem and seeking sucks, smplayer all the way for me.. | 19:06 |
| anthony | I've done this once before | 19:07 |
| deany | ksbalaji: sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:07 |

| anthony | removed the HDD out of my first try | 19:07 |
| nickrud | anthony, erm, server, sorry. apt-cache search <terms> for what you want to install | 19:07 |
| anthony | thanks nick I'll try that | 19:07 |
| ksbalaji | deany, is smplayer better than gnomeplayer, totem, movieplayer, xine -which I have? | 19:07 |
| deany | i even think smplayer is better than vlc (odd i know).. | 19:07 |
| raylu | deany: of course it is. anything is better thanvlc :D | 19:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | dmole, People using ubuntu seldom have issues mounting partitions | 19:08 |
| dmole | nDuff: it's not that I don't think because of whats in the dmesg | 19:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devz0r, Please take the chat to offtopic | 19:09 |
| ksbalaji | deany, excuse me while I tinker the thing. | 19:09 |
| nDuff | dmole, dmesg is kernel logs; hal is what relays that information to userland. | 19:09 |
| nDuff | dmole, s/that information/notice of the events/ | 19:09 |
| dmole | Jack_Sparrow: I know and like i said it works fine on one box but not on the other | 19:10 |
| nDuff | dmole, anyhow, if you try to do the mount manually, does it work? | 19:10 |
| anthony | I cannot say enough how awesome this room is | 19:10 |

| JamaulBrown | Hi All .. does anyone have a good link to explain how drivers work in Linux (Ubuntu) .. It's a bit different from windows, and I'm trying to grasp the concept.. | 19:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nook, Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....

| dmole | nDuff: yep first post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/302960 | 19:13 |
| nDuff | JamaulBrown, I don't know of any such single explanation -- there are different kinds of drivers, but the bulk of them are all included as part of the OS kernel itself, not developed and distributed by manufacturers. | 19:13 |
| deany | ah. | 19:13 |
| Na-Fiann | Hi, I just bought a new pc, but am using my same old harddisk. On my old system, sound worked fine, but now, if I play a flash video, halfway into the video pulseaudio will crash and I have to restart X to get it up and running again. I have no such problems when using mpd to playback audio. The system I switched to is AM2+ based, 790gx + sb750 | 19:13 |
| nickrud | deany, you can still hand craft an xorg.conf, but usually not necessary except for adding nvidia or fglrx to the device section | 19:13 |
| dmole | Jack_Sparrow: yes usb external | 19:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dmole, If it's a USB device, run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' to see what the system does when you plug the device in | 19:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbl... Play nice | 19:14 |
| Ax-Ax | JamaulBrown; as nDuff said there is different kinds and most of the drivers includes kernel stuff or modules | 19:14 |
| nDuff | dmole, is this a Nokia phone you're mounting, or are you just getting the same message? | 19:14 |

| JamaulBrown | nDuff: Yes - that's what I thought was happening .. so, if I install a new piece of hardware, what happens? It just starts working? I assume if you can see it in lspci, then the kernel knows what it's doing? | 19:16 |
| erisco | how can I get a list of processes that are bound to port 80? | 19:16 |

| jamba_sparabo | what is the easiest way for full disk encryption with ubuntu?? | 19:16 |
| nickrud | radc, just pasting the error here is Fail. write a question. And I answered you just above | 19:16 |
| polemon | nickrud: seems it's ubuntu itself | 19:16 |
| nDuff | JamaulBrown, if it's built into the kernel or an autoloaded module, yes, it just starts working. | 19:16 |
| eseven73 | erisco>> install 'iptraf' 'sudo apt-get install iptraf' then type iptraf in a terminal | 19:16 |
| ksbalaji | deany, I already have this: Section "Device" Identifier"Configured Video Device"Driver"fglrx"Option"VideoOverlay""on" Option"OpenGLOverlay""off" EndSection | 19:16 |
| onetinsoldier | mikejet: interesting question. somehow i doubt that blu-ray stuff works in linux at all | 19:17 |
| nDuff | JamaulBrown, lspci does show hardware the kernel doesn't have drivers for, though, so it's not a guarantee that something is supported | 19:17 |
| deany | ksbalaji: hmm, ok | 19:17 |
| polemon | since it is RFC compliant it should support passwords on connection | 19:17 |
| polemon | but i don't know how to give one | 19:17 |
| nickrud | polemon, no, look for the Maintainer field. Some of those will say ubuntu-motu, or ubuntu-core-devs, or the like | 19:17 |
| deany | ksbalaji: what players have you tried and what "driver/output" are they using | 19:17 |
| nDuff | JamaulBrown, there's a pci.ids file which gives a list of which PCI vendor and device IDs go with which device names, and that's what lspci uses; it doesn't need to ask the drivers what a piece of hardware is. | 19:17 |
| polemon | ah, thanks, nickrud ! | 19:17 |
| deany | try different outputs, xv/xvideo/opengl | 19:17 |
| erisco | eseven73, how does this help me? | 19:17 |

| deany | radc: you dont need any dev packages.. add the repo i gave you to your sources.list and install the apt-get way... | 19:41 |
| vlt__ | Hello. `xvinfo` returns "no adaptors present". Any idea where to look first? | 19:41 |
| fosco_ | radc: xmms is obsolete, install audacious | 19:41 |
| raylu | trevor: where'd you get your kernel source from? it sounds like it wouldn't work even if you didn't put hello in there | 19:41 |
| deany | fosco_: not obselete when audacious doesnt work for me :) | 19:41 |
| radc | i will try. fosco | 19:41 |
| fosco_ | deany: glad it works for you, but it is obsolete | 19:42 |
| deany | if it works and it does what you want it to do, how can it be. | 19:42 |
| deany | a weed is only a weed cuz you dont want it :) | 19:42 |
| lukasz | Everything works well in Ubuntu. Its to bad webcam doesn't work as I wanted | 19:42 |
| _2 | Slart ffr i think the change may be in /etc/pam.d/su it seems that ubuntu enables "auth sufficient pam_rootok.so" i'll have to check on the debian box for more details. but according to the change log for "login" (the package that provides 'su') that seems to be a key factor. | 19:42 |
| Slart | deany: it's obsolete because it wasn't updated, bugs weren't fixed etc.. | 19:43 |
| Slart | deany: it had nothing to do with popularity afaik | 19:43 |
| lukasz | Thats why I did DualBoot :) I am happy with both systems :) | 19:43 |
| deany | that would be the part about "working" i mentioned. | 19:43 |
| trevor | Well I was originally just using the headers...but then I installed linux-source from synaptic. However when I try make with that it says there is no build folder | 19:43 |
| Slart | _2: ah.. good searching there.. this was in the source code? | 19:43 |
| deany | i see no bugs.. id use audacious if it didnt screw my sound up when i enabled EQ | 19:43 |
| gpled | when new versions of software come out, why do they not always show up in synaptic? | 19:44 |
| victorlf | Hi. When I start Ubuntu I get the Gnome login screen, and then it "moves" to console 1 (as if ctrl+alt+F1). I can just do Ctrl+Alt+F7 for a graphical login. Anyone knows how to fix it and steix in the X server? Sorry to insist ;-) | 19:44 |

| Serafeim | hallo | 19:45 |
| Slart | deany: and complaining to me won't fix it. | 19:45 |

| Slart | _2: ah, thanks | 19:46 |
| deany | cant find a decent frontend to xmms2, or i`d use that too | 19:46 |
| fosco_ | vlt_: try mplayer -vo x11 .... | 19:46 |
| Serafeim | usb doesn't recognize devices and lsusb stacks | 19:46 |
| gpled | victorlf: so when the old version stops working, because it is to old, or worse, when a security issue arises in the old version, should we just uninstall and install from source? | 19:46 |
| _2 | deany if you can patch bugs and maintain the source code. pick the application up and support it. that's what open source is all about. | 19:46 |
| trevor | raylu: thanks I'll check that out | 19:46 |

| trancefat | therealnanotube: ok... thanks again | 20:16 |
| Cute_Bettong | therealnanotube, let me paste again ->hey i got 2 hard drives in my system a 500gb sata2 and a 160gb ide drive, how do i format the ide drive? i don't trust qtparted as it messed up my computer the last time, can you help? theres a windows install to destroy on it ^_^ and i don't know the commands to do it lol | 20:16 |
| therealnanotube | Serafeim: did you try plugging into a different usb port? do other usb devices work? | 20:16 |
| Gnea | Borian: well, I have no idea what you've tried so far. | 20:16 |
| n8tuser | WaspInc - per your post, sky2 is loaded, but no ip address asssigned to your ethernet, so do this, sudo ifdown ath0 and then sudo dhclient eth0 | 20:16 |
| Cute_Bettong | therealnanotube, notice where i say i don't like qtparted it screwd up my box the last time lol | 20:16 |
| kuchenhure | cute_bettong you can make a dos boot disk and do it | 20:16 |
| raylu | trevor: /usr/src, i believe | 20:16 |
| Borian | i changed everything i could find in my sound settings | 20:16 |
| therealnanotube | Cute_Bettong: let me also paste again: try gparted (which is different from qtparted, which you say you don't like) | 20:16 |
| intrepid_ | hi all, how can I make Gnome not ask me for password for connecting to the remmebered wireless networks? | 20:17 |
| Borian | nothing of that changed anything at all | 20:17 |
| raylu | trevor: but i'm not entirely sure. i believe something like "make install_modules" moves them to /lib/modules | 20:17 |
| Serafeim | none usb device works and lsusb freezed the console | 20:17 |
| Gnea | Borian: you editted your dmix settings and tried disabling pulseaudio as well? | 20:17 |
| jlaeret | hey, I have some issues with subtitles in vlc. I'm running hardy. when I try running subtitles with a video only some of the subtitle 'slides' appear, even when I confirmed that they are all in the file. Anyone know how I can fix it? | 20:17 |
| Borian | what is dmix? | 20:17 |
| Gnea | see, this is why it's important to read the URLs that the bot hands out now and then. | 20:17 |
| Cute_Bettong | therealnanotube, sorry my mistake i thought it was a typo or something i did not know about gparted | 20:17 |
| Gnea | !pulseaudio | Borian | 20:17 |
| ubottu | Borian: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 20:17 |
| macko | hey, i'm forwarding ports (http) of my interior server (nat). why can't i access that server from router writing IP of router in my web browser? | 20:18 |
| therealnanotube | Cute_Bettong: give it a look, see if you likeit. :) | 20:18 |
| WaspInc | n8tuser: thanks | 20:18 |
| zwobble | hey there, I have only 3 resolutions to choose from. Happened after having used a Beamer the other day. I;d like to switch back to my old resolution (widescreen) but its not in the list anymore.. | 20:18 |
| Trijntje | n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d7ec3d151 | 20:18 |
| therealnanotube | Serafeim: well... something's wrong with your usb then :) did you try rebooting? | 20:18 |
| therealnanotube | macko: please clarify, what do you mean "router writing ip"? | 20:19 |
| Borian | okay | 20:19 |
| Borian | i gonna read parts of that | 20:19 |
| Serafeim | therealnanotube: when i reboot is alright. But then suddenly the mouse stops working. | 20:19 |
| mortuis99 | borian i had the same problem as you when i installed 8.10 and what i had to do was right click on the speaker (top right) then click preferences then i just checked all the preferances and then started um muting things | 20:19 |
| Borian | still the weirdest thing is... the test-sound in my SOund Preferences is fine | 20:19 |
| therealnanotube | Serafeim: do you see anything interesting in the system logs relating to usb? | 20:19 |
| Cute_Bettong | therealnanotube, do i wanna create a primary partition? and wow i like this gparted, it's really nice thank you for your time and the tip ^_^ | 20:20 |
| Borian | um muting? | 20:20 |
| Serafeim | therealnanotube: how can i view the system logs? | 20:20 |
| mortuis99 | the lil speaker at the bottom with the red circle | 20:20 |
| trevor | raylu: Ok thats what I thought. But ok now in my /usr/src/ I've got folders for headers...and then one for the actual source. But if I try making in that source folder than it still thinks it is making inside of the headers folder | 20:20 |
| therealnanotube | system -> administration -> system logs | 20:20 |
| n8tuser | Trijntje - line 3 put the localhost at the end instead of at the front; also disable ipv6; and possibly make the search lan into search myhome.com or whatever domain you use | 20:20 |
| zwobble | hey there, I have only 3 resolutions to choose from. Happened after having used a Beamer the other day. I;d like to switch back to my old resolution (widescreen) but its not in the list anymore.. | 20:21 |
| therealnanotube | Cute_Bettong: yes, just create a primary partition, format it ext3, and you'll have a nice formatted empty disk :) | 20:21 |
| mortuis99 | and them move all the slides up in volume | 20:21 |
| therealnanotube | Serafeim: system -> administration -> system logs | 20:21 |
| Cute_Bettong | therealnanotube, thank you ^_^ | 20:21 |
| raylu | trevor: um, what? | 20:21 |
| raylu | trevor: you shouldn't be moving into either directory | 20:21 |
| Borian | i have one slider in my bar | 20:21 |
| therealnanotube | Cute_Bettong: yw ;) | 20:21 |
| Borian | i can move it up and down | 20:21 |

| ahamino | hi, anybody here tried fglrx with xrandr | 20:22 |
| trevor | raylu: but I want to just compile the driver not the whole kernel | 20:22 |
| mortuis99 | u have to RIGHT click the speaker not left click | 20:22 |
| raylu | Cute_Bettong: you'll want to leave some room for swap | 20:22 |
| macko | therealnanotube, I mean that I on my router-ubuntu and I try to enter interior server writing IP of router in web browser | 20:22 |
| eseven73 | !u | mortuis99 | 20:22 |
| ubottu | mortuis99: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 20:22 |
| n8tuser | Cute_Bettong - you had an operator error, gparted is a good tool | 20:22 |
| Frijolie | i'm having difficulties with PulseAudio, Now I can't have sound in more than one application at a time | 20:22 |
| raylu | Cute_Bettong: also, both qtparted and gparted are just frontends for parted. neither will mess up your computer (unless you tell it to do the wrong things) | 20:22 |
| _2 | Slart heh. here's a command i scripted for finding & reading changelogs: http://pastebin.com/f6a86112e if you ever need it. | 20:22 |
| Frijolie | for example, I have Rhythmbox opened and paused but now I can't hear audio in say YouTube video | 20:22 |
| ahamino | I have both fglrx, and xrandr installed on ubuntu 8.10.... when I rotate, my screen hangs, can anybody helpI have both fglrx, and xrandr installed on ubuntu 8.10.... when I rotate, my screen hangs, can anybody help | 20:22 |
| raylu | trevor: that doesn't make sense | 20:23 |
| Frijolie | is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere, or is it supposed to do this? | 20:23 |
| Gnea | Borian: that slider is your pulseaudio mixer, and pulseaudio doesn't automatically set itself up correctly for every installation, so your options are very limited. you're probably better off disabling pulseaudio. | 20:23 |
| raylu | trevor: the driver must be compiled against the kernel. all it really is is a kernel module | 20:23 |
| therealnanotube | macko: so to clarify, your network is: external WAN ip -> forward to internal LAN ip through router. and you are entering the external WAN ip into your browser to get into your webserver, right? | 20:23 |
| Slart | _2: very nice.. never seen that before | 20:23 |
| skypce | hi , i want configure a cups with firefox, http://127.0.0.1:631 > forbbiden 403 | 20:23 |
| ahamino | anybody with tx2500 here | 20:23 |
| raylu | trevor: you can compile it in such a way that it can be optionally loaded with the kernel, but it still involves compiling the kernel | 20:23 |

| Zzeiss | Something appears to be grabbing my disk burner so that neither Brassiero nor CD/DVD Creator can actually see the blank disk being inserted. Any clue on this would be greatly appreciated. | 20:24 |
| Frijolie | this PulseAudio really blows | 20:24 |
| lothar_ | hi all | 20:24 |
| mortuis99 | Gnea not true i had the same plrblem as he had and had to go in and check things | 20:24 |
| mortuis99 | and then unmute | 20:24 |
| macko | therealnanotube , yes exactly | 20:24 |
| lothar_ | i have problem with ati drivers | 20:24 |
| raylu | trevor: make will only build what is necessary. if code has been unchanged since the last make and no dependencies have changed, it won't rebuild anything | 20:24 |
| Gnea | mortuis99: ah, well it seems he was ban evading, so now it's a moot (heh) point | 20:24 |
| mahfouz | i want to create my own ppa and I tried the instructions on launchpad but I get: > dput my-ppa scid_3.6.26_source.changes | 20:24 |
| mahfouz | No host my-ppa found in config | 20:24 |
| therealnanotube | macko: does it work if you enter the internal LAN ip (while you are on the lan, of course)? i.e., is the webserver up? | 20:24 |
| Trijntje | n8tuser: so i change "127.0.0.1 localhost trijntje-desktop" to "127.0.0.1 trijntje-desktop localhost" ? | 20:24 |
| Frijolie | anyone have any ideas? | 20:25 |
| Gnea | Frijolie: I highly recommend disabling pulseaudio. | 20:25 |
| _2 | Trijntje the dash "might" cause problems, can you use the under_score insted ? | 20:25 |
| raylu | n8tuser: are you sure gnome login uses sshd_config? isn't it possible to login without openssh-server installed? | 20:25 |
| macko | therealnanotube , it works, it also works when i enter the IP of router somewhere else, but not on the router itself | 20:25 |
| raylu | _2: no it won't | 20:25 |
| Frijolie | gnea: you do so by just setting everything to ALSA? or by stopping the process of PulseAudio? | 20:26 |
| mahfouz | anybody here know about ppa archive uploading? | 20:26 |
| Kinetic | I have a burning question: WHo is THE Ubuntu genius here..the one considered "the man/woman". Thats my question, btw. I must know! | 20:26 |
| _2 | Trijntje and yes the rest looks right. you can even add other ips if you like | 20:26 |
| therealnanotube | mahfouz: look it up, there's docs on launchpad.net about it | 20:26 |
| raylu | Kinetic: the community | 20:26 |
| mahfouz | yes, I had an error | 20:26 |
| mahfouz | > dput my-ppa scid_3.6.26_source.changes | 20:27 |
| mahfouz | No host my-ppa found in config | 20:27 |
| Gnea | Frijolie: a) set everything to alsa, b) turn it off with sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop , and, if necessary, killall -9 pulseaudio and c) disabling it via /etc/default/pulseaudio | 20:27 |
| mahfouz | even though I used the .dput.cf from the page | 20:27 |

| [TiZ] | Hi. Having a miniature crisis here. See, my laptop was starting, and I was wrong to trust my power cord. My laptop's battery SUCKS. 3 minutes, tops. So as I'm logging into my desktop? ...blink. Off. A sudden shutdown. Now some of my stuff has broken. First, Quod Libet won't start anymore. But more worrying than that is that in the Places menu, that little folder holding all of my bookmarks? Its name is blank. It doesn't lead to my bookmark | 20:36 |
| [TiZ] | s. And when I mouse over it, its name is "ET". My bookmarks are gone in Nautilus too, it's just one folder called "Datte Bayo!r" with a box at the end. I thought Linux was STABLE. Please, help me out here! | 20:36 |
| raylu | guntbert: which is long for $HOME | 20:36 |
| FloodBot2 | [TiZ]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:36 |
| [TiZ] | Not a flood, you dumb bot. :( | 20:36 |

I must be blind, because I cannot find it in the .conf or the web interface. Thanks. (Sorry for asking a second time, I think the 1st one slipped through the cracks) | 20:36 |
| raylu | [TiZ]: linux is stable, your hard drive isn't | 20:37 |
| trevor | raylu: ok thanks...do I need to setup a config file before hand somewhere? | 20:37 |
| raylu | [TiZ]: if you can make an os that runs fine when it's data is corrupted, please do so | 20:37 |
| Dan | but if it does not open with anything, even the publisher does not open | 20:37 |

| raylu | trevor: no idea :P | 20:37 |

| Gnea | php_wizardry: sorry to hear that, but a lot of people have made it REALLY easy for you over the years | 20:37 |

| therealnanotube | macko: it is indeed curious... but i don't know. :) i'll try looking around and see if ic an find anything. | 20:38 |
| raylu | Flannel: woah. i'm going to remember that | 20:38 |
| therealnanotube | macko: can you ping your WAN ip from your router itself? | 20:38 |
| kmg | sarmisak: no i haven't, but how would i try it with an integrated webcam? | 20:38 |
| raylu | kmg: sudo dmesg | tail | 20:38 |
| sarmisak | try this; dmesg | less | 20:38 |
| _2 | raylu one can also set the mount count higher than the max-mount count | 20:38 |
| Slipiknoti | вот блин | 20:38 |
| raylu | _2: that's cheating :P | 20:39 |
| sarmisak | in the window look for any clue about a webcam | 20:39 |

| kmg | sarmisak: it says something about found new UVC 1.00 device | 20:39 |
| macko | therealnanotube: I think it's related to route tables, but I'm not sure | 20:39 |
| _2 | but personally if i need to fsck / i just remount it ro and check it. then reboot clean. | 20:39 |
| therealnanotube | macko: right, that's why i ask if you can ping | 20:39 |
| Trijntje | n8tuser: still no faster login, where should i disable IPv6? | 20:40 |
| macko | therealnanotube, as a matter of course, I can :) | 20:40 |
| sarmisak | kmg, yes that's it, I have the same webcam on my samsung q310, I couldn't make it work either ;) | 20:40 |
| Schuenemann | What is this "error 1" in checkinstall? | 20:40 |
| therealnanotube | macko: well, if you can ping, then at least your router knows how to get to its own wan ip... :) | 20:40 |
| kmg | sarmisak: but it works with cheese | 20:40 |
| hspaans | Trijntje: why do you want to disable ipv6? | 20:41 |
| sarmisak | kmg, hmms I haven't tried it for a while, just checking | 20:42 |
| ror | # | 20:42 |
| ror | hi | 20:42 |
| sarmisak | kmg, no it's not even available in the list | 20:42 |
| derekmounce | I know this isn't even remote the right place for this... but... anyone know if there's any way to `svn export` but only the changed files? | 20:42 |
| kmg | sarmisak: what's not even available where? =o | 20:43 |
| raylu | derekmounce: svn up | 20:43 |
| raylu | derekmounce: er, export as in | 20:43 |

| dekkong | Hi Guys! Does Anyone notice really poor performance of flash 10 in Ubuntu 8.10? | 20:43 |
| ror | huge thanks to the whole ubuntu community, props to you all; managed to finally get my network card up to speed in hardy :D | 20:43 |
| sarmisak | kmg, my uvc webcam | 20:43 |
| _2 | Schuenemann that script is not so easily debugged maybe it has a verbose switch ? or you could set -x the thing and see why it fails | 20:44 |
| hspaans | dekkong: not only on ubuntu, but also on macosx | 20:44 |
| Trijntje | hspaans: i have a terible slow Gnome login, and n8tuser thought it might help to disable IPv6.. | 20:44 |
| therealnanotube | ror: congrats. :) | 20:44 |
| _2 | file `which checkinstall` | 20:44 |
| derekmounce | raylu: I'm in a slightly odd situation, using mosso for hosting, so I have SSH access. Right now, I'm using lftp to mirror the contents of an svn export from my dev server | 20:44 |
| dekkong | hspaans: yeah cuz it's so annoying :( | 20:44 |
| LynysysNorfolkUK | ror, that is definitely good news :) | 20:44 |
| raylu | derekmounce: oh... as in an actual export | 20:44 |
| [TiZ] | That force file check didn't help. QL still isn't starting, and my bookmarks are still royally screwed up. Please help me. | 20:44 |
| raylu | derekmounce: i think you should forget about lftp and get rsync. or maybe even sshfs or nfs | 20:45 |
| [TiZ] | It worries me to think what else might be messed up. | 20:45 |
| kmg | sarmisak: yeah, i've got this in my dmesg: [ 15.336362] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device CNF7129 (04f2:b071) | 20:45 |
| derekmounce | raylu: rsync doesn't support ftp, does it? | 20:45 |
| hspaans | Trijntje: as long as you don't have an IPv6-address (local link not included) there is no effect | 20:45 |
| _2 | sshfs sftp | 20:45 |
| raylu | derekmounce: nope | 20:45 |
| ror | it was a headache trying to get rt2500 up to speed, when the internet won't work it's hard to google how to fix it! Now I just have one last issue that popped up when I upgraded from Gutsy, my GDM is all the wrong resolution | 20:45 |
| ror | so I jsut see like, top quarter of the login screen | 20:45 |
| _2 | Fishy://host | 20:45 |
| ror | though I can tab around with the keyboard so it's not so much a problem | 20:45 |
| raylu | derekmounce: but ftp isn't really the solution for keeping things synced like you want | 20:45 |
| hspaans | dekkong: just skip flash, solves a lot of issues | 20:46 |
| derekmounce | raylu: Unfortunately then, I'm stuck... Mosso doesn't have anything but ftp right now. | 20:46 |
| _2 | fish not Fishy seems to have autocompleted | 20:46 |
| ror | but deleting the "virtual" line of xorg.conf hasn't fixed it unfortunately that's the only "solution" I can find | 20:46 |

| hardtackbomb | hello | 20:46 |

| [TiZ] | Please? Anyone? | 20:46 |
| ror | it's just gdm that's wrong, but thanks I'll check out that link | 20:46 |

| andresmh | if I add a PPA (i.e http://ppa.launchpad.net/dorins/ubuntu ) will Ubuntu's updated tell me when that particular app has been updated? | 20:47 |

| dekkong | could anyone give me a tip of a good torrent client? I dont like Transmission, Ktorrent | 20:47 |

| kestutis | hey | 20:47 |
| Hashishanin | Where does gcc search for library dependencies, that is, If I have a program which #includes "lua.h" where do I need to install the headers | 20:47 |
| derekmounce | raylu: whooooooops. typo. ;) "don't" have ssh | 20:47 |
| raylu | derekmounce: oh. | 20:47 |
| Keigo | Is there a program which can convert .wmv to .mp3 or .ogg? | 20:47 |
| kestutis | How to configure smtp server on ubuntu? | 20:47 |
| raylu | derekmounce: why do you have it set up this way anyway? can't you just use mosso as the svn server? | 20:48 |
| sarmisak | derekmounce, have you checked sitecopy for ftp synchronisation? | 20:48 |
| Trijntje | hspaans: ok, well, its realy driving me crazy. Login used to be within 2 seconds, and now i have to wait for 25 seconds before i can start firefox etc | 20:48 |
| raylu | Hashishanin: that depends on what's passed to gcc. gcc -I/foo/bar will search in /foo/bar. ./configure will take care of it | 20:48 |
| derekmounce | raylu: mosso doesn't currently have subversion support, or root access | 20:48 |
| sarmisak | derekmounce, I use it on almost all my servers, works perfectly | 20:48 |
| raylu | Hashishanin: but you shouldn't install headers manually anyway | 20:48 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | i have installed the 177 driver for nvidia card, but no gui don't work any help? | 20:48 |
| derekmounce | sarmisak: thanks, I'll check it out | 20:48 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | now* | 20:48 |
| raylu | derekmounce: oh. i suppose they don't have dav_svn installed either... | 20:49 |
| raylu | derekmounce: in that case, why are you using svn? | 20:49 |
| MrWindex | does anyone else have a problem where the mplayer/banshee/totem using 100% of CPU in full screen and sometimes gets choppy video? | 20:49 |
| derekmounce | raylu: naw, not just yet | 20:49 |
| sarmisak | derekmounce, you would probably read the manual, for a crash course google for a .sitecopyrc file | 20:49 |
| Hashishanin | I'm afraid I don't understand the whole configure-make-arguments to gcc business, is there a a straight forward tutorial that talks about this stuff somewhere? | 20:49 |
| hspaans | Trijntje: sounds like gnome-session has a lot todo before the login is finished | 20:49 |
| deany | MrWindex: sounds like its using cpu to render video | 20:50 |
| happyface | How can I find my SATA port #? | 20:50 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | can anyone help me get my gui back? | 20:50 |
| kmg | Hashishanin: what are you trying to do? | 20:50 |
| MrWindex | deany: yeah that's what I was thinking. anyway to get it to use my video card drivers? | 20:50 |
| raylu | Hashishanin: probably. but you can usually just install something like lua-dev and you'll have lua headers. what are you compiling, anyway? | 20:50 |
| deany | MrWindex: what driver are you using | 20:50 |
| hspaans | happyface: try lshw -C storage | 20:50 |
| raylu | Hashishanin: apt-get has a command for installing the build dependencies | 20:50 |
| derekmounce | raylu: Using svn because my codebase is 20k. ;) Plus, I've been running the beta of my web app on a custom VPS. But mosso scales like the amazon services, which is why I'm doing final hosting on them. | 20:50 |
| raylu | Hashishanin: if you can't find the -dev packages yourself | 20:50 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | man...this sucks | 20:50 |
| MrWindex | deany: ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver | 20:51 |
| Hashishanin | I'm writing a program in c, and compiling it with gcc/g++, I need to include "lua.h". | 20:51 |

| MrWindex | yeah | 20:51 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | startx don't work: No devices detected..Fatal server error: no screens found | 20:51 |

| fuzeboxsoftware | ... | 20:52 |
| raylu | Hashishanin: you can put lua.h anywhere. if you want the lua dev files, you can install the corresponding -dev package and use gcc -I/foo/bar file.c | 20:52 |

| raylu | fuzeboxsoftware: nickrud already helped you | 20:55 |
| happyface | ikonia: It's for a PCI card | 20:55 |
| MrWindex | deany: should I not use X11/Xv? | 20:55 |
| happyface | ikonia: I know it's pretty easy to find in Windows, but that's not an option | 20:55 |
| ikonia | happyface: look on the pci card's bios then | 20:55 |
| Crewsr3_1 | Flannel, is there a server password or is that only for private chat rooms? | 20:55 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | now when i type that command and type startx, still says no screen found | 20:55 |
| happyface | ikonia: How can I do that? | 20:55 |

| STFighter | anyone got a Samsung R505 and is running Intrepid on it? | 21:02 |
| Flannel | gmathews: you can use shutdown. It allows you to do it at an arbitrary time, or an arbitrary offset. | 21:02 |
| levidos | gzip can;t support multiple files? | 21:02 |
| ocRob | levidos: use tar | 21:02 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | _2 i have used ubuntu many times before, but never bothered with the cp | 21:02 |
| ocRob | tar -zxvf *.tar.gz | 21:02 |

| anotherirc1 | hmm, whattahell, let's flood the window :) here's my problem --> How can i i.e burn a cd when using the Ubuntu Livecd? | 21:03 |

ALSA is detecting my soundcard and everything, but whenever I go into sound preferences, I get an error when I test the card saying "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback."

| therealnanotube | mker: so this second account, you want them to have access to something in your first account home dir? | 21:10 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, run less /etc/X11/xorg.conf that will let you view the contents of the file. Make sure something is in there. If there is, run pastebinit -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf . the X11 needs capitalization | 21:10 |

| meho_ | and i do mean from cold start of the oc | 21:13 |
| _2 | anotherirc1 if you have an empty burner, or if you can load the entire system in ram and thus "free up" the live CD. (DSL for example has that option) | 21:13 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud, pastebin.com/f12cfcae6 | 21:14 |

| ocRob | what is in your home dir he needs ? | 21:15 |
| ikonia | anotherirc1: what is the problem ? | 21:15 |
| [TiZ] | therealnanotube: That wouldn't work. Permissions and ownership would be lost. At least that's how I think it works. | 21:15 |

| ikonia | kestutis: thats either a.) dns not working b.) google blacklisting you because your on a home connection (most mail servers will black list you trying to run mail server on a home connection) | 21:17 |
| ikonia | meho_: just ask in the channel | 21:17 |
| therealnanotube | [TiZ]: that said, i myself use "rsnapshot" to do my backups. that way, instead of copying /all/ the files every time, it just updates with the files that have changed. very neat. | 21:17 |
| _2 | anotherirc1 just didn't want you to think i was saying that that live cd would solve all your problems. | 21:17 |
| anotherirc1 | ikonia: Seriously, please put yourself in my shoes.. my hdd is messed up and i want to use the manufactor's help on theese.. and they are *.iso files | 21:17 |

| ikonia | meho_: boot from the CD rom you have burnt and click the "install" button on the desktop | 21:19 |
| therealnanotube | [TiZ]: well, don't back up onto an ntfs or fat partition. :) of course if you have to stick it onto one of those, some (ntfs) or all (fat) of the permissions properties would be lost. | 21:19 |

| ikonia | meho_: no | 21:21 |
| meho_ | ok thanks allot | 21:22 |
| meho_ | chiers | 21:22 |
| ikonia | meho_: if it is not booting from teh cd and you have told your pc to boot from cd rom first the cd must be bad | 21:22 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud | 21:22 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | after i enter that command | 21:22 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | then what? | 21:22 |

| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, now, open a new console (alt-f2) and run links http://pastebin.com/m4cd29b20 to view the change. Basically you're adding Driver "nvidia" to the Device Section | 21:24 |
| [TiZ] | racarter: You would copy the line with deb or deb-src, go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources, go to the Third-Party tab, and add it there. | 21:24 |

| hspaans | zoid: unless you have a NDA with them | 21:37 |
| zoid | the dump file is generated by the software where I have found the bug | 21:37 |
| Trijntje | n8tuser: yes, but what should that do? | 21:38 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | Errors: Unknown post id, it may have expired or been deleted | 21:38 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | just not show your post | 21:38 |
| nickrud | links http://pastebin.com/m4cd29b20 <-- fuzeboxsoftware and page down. Works here | 21:38 |
| deany | zoid: doubt it includes your age, address and pin number | 21:38 |
| Gnea | zoid: so look at the dumpfile and see if it has anything not worth sending | 21:38 |
| ikonia | zoid: it depends what information you don't want included | 21:38 |
| zoid | how can I examine the file. cat wasn't such a good idea | 21:38 |
| n8tuser | Trijntje - eliminate that type of authentication, specially if you are not using it | 21:38 |
| deany | zoid: what exactly do you think it will send that you dont want it to | 21:39 |
| onetinsoldier | Gnea: take your pick, everything i have tried.. the latest pidgin, nmap-4.76, and a few others. the one i am trying right now is... glsof-0.10.0-pre-alpha4. | 21:39 |
| Gnea | zoid: strings -a file | 21:39 |
| ikonia | zoid: what software is it and what do you not want sent | 21:39 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | ok, got it now | 21:39 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | don't know why it didn't show before | 21:39 |
| ikonia | zoid: actually - best to take it to ##linux as this is not an ubuntu issue please | 21:39 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | now what? | 21:39 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: it worked... sudo echo boo --> boo | 21:39 |
| kestutis | what does "sudo" do? | 21:39 |
| Gnea | ikonia: he's trying to submit a but report to ubuntu developers, I think it qualifies as an ubuntu issue. | 21:40 |
| ikonia | kestutis: run a programas super user | 21:40 |
| Gnea | ikonia: s/but/bug/g | 21:40 |
| birkoff | kestutis, sudo lets you run a command as root | 21:40 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier ok. that's not the problem then, can you post the exact error ? | 21:40 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, now, ini another console, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and enter your password. Add the new line in the Driver Section | 21:40 |
| ikonia | Gnea: doesn't say ubuntu, hence why I keep asking | 21:40 |
| onetinsoldier | kestutis: root user... 'super user do' | 21:40 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | in the driver section? | 21:40 |
| zoid | ikonia: well, I run a ubuntu machine, so i thought this channel would be a good idea | 21:40 |
| Gnea | zoid: what program is giving you grief and what version of ubuntu is it? | 21:40 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, if you look at it, you'll see it | 21:40 |
| === Vantrax is now known as van|away | ||
| ikonia | zoid: what software is it | 21:41 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | i have 6 lines in mine, that are not commented | 21:41 |
| ikonia | zoid: and who are the developers | 21:41 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | and none say driver | 21:41 |
| === van|away is now known as Vant | ||
| zoid | Gnea: strings -a was what I looked for, thanks | 21:41 |
| kestutis | when i installed Ubuntu, i had to create a user. So the password of the root is the same of the first user? | 21:41 |

| ikonia | kestutis: correct | 21:41 |
| radar1976 | just wondering if someone can help me with some grep functions | 21:41 |
| ikonia | zoid: ooh the irc client | 21:41 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, you are so right. the "Device" Section, sorry | 21:41 |
| === Vant is now known as Vantrax | ||
| ikonia | zoid: those guys are fine | 21:41 |
| lukasz | I posted a topic in forums, how to set it to 12hr ? | 21:41 |
| lukasz | bye goodluck | 21:41 |
| deany | kestutis: there is no root password | 21:41 |
| kitche | kestutis: no if you use sudo it's the same password as the user that you used sudo powers on | 21:41 |
| mars__ | kestutis: root does not have a shell login | 21:42 |
| mars__ | kestutis: need to specify one | 21:42 |
| === Vantrax is now known as Artichoke_Herder | ||
| zoid | ikonia: well, hard to tell, if you don't know them :) | 21:42 |
| ikonia | zoid: I do - they are fine | 21:42 |
| === Artichoke_Herder is now known as Vantrax | ||
| ikonia | zoid: it's a valid project | 21:42 |
| paradox_ | paradox | 21:42 |
| _2 | mars__ if your super user does not have a shell, then your system is broke | 21:42 |
| Gnea | zoid: what is the result of this command? lsb_release -r | 21:42 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | so...what am i suppose to put in mine? | 21:43 |
| zoid | ikonia: technically ... I don't know you either ^^ | 21:43 |
| ikonia | zoid: however you may want to submit the bug report to the ubuntu guys who pacage it rather than the developers who make it | 21:43 |
| mars__ | _2: thats not what i said | 21:43 |
| mars__ | _2: sudo bash works | 21:43 |
| ikonia | package sorry | 21:43 |
| kitche | mars__: root does have a shell just that the account is locked | 21:43 |
| _2 | mars__ then the super user has a shell. | 21:43 |
| mars__ | _2: ;) no ssh | 21:43 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: just everything in the device section? | 21:43 |
| kestutis | so, root is group, not user? | 21:44 |
| zoid | Gnea: 8.04 | 21:44 |
| mars__ | kestutis: root is both | 21:44 |
| kitche | kestutis: root is both just like your user is both | 21:44 |

| pretender_ | I have a Brother MFC 260 Printer Scanner Fax and want to get it working in Ubuntu 8.10. Can anyone advise me of a install guide for Ubuntu 8.10 for my model of multifunction | 21:44 |
| Artelus | Hello | 21:45 |
| kestutis | It's pretty difficult. it's the first day when i use something else than Windows :] | 21:45 |
| zoid | ikonia: since it is a pretty strange bug and hard to reproduce I think it's better addressed to the actual developers | 21:45 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | what about the .Identifier line? | 21:45 |
| guntbert | kestutis: there is a user 'root' and a group 'root', those are two different entities | 21:45 |
| Gnea | zoid: you should check out https://launchpad.net/ubuntu if you want to find out who's who | 21:45 |
| onetinsoldier | _2 and Gnea et. al.: ok, i am using the 'checkinstall' utility. perhaps it has a bug? the command i am using is... sudo checkinstall make install | 21:45 |
| ikonia | zoid: if you log it through the ubuntu developers they can talk to the developers for you with more knowledge of the ubuntu system | 21:45 |
| miranda_psi | bobertdos: you can't install 32 bit java plugin in 64bit java - you have 2 choices. 1: downlaod 32bit firefox and use that or 2: wait until the next release of java which will have a 64bit plugin | 21:45 |
| Trijntje | n8tuser: i reboot, brb | 21:45 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, just leave that as is | 21:46 |
| Artelus | Can someone help me install ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | kk | 21:46 |
| ikonia | Artelus: what's up | 21:46 |
| kestutis | so, i can't login as root, for a season? | 21:46 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | ok, i put that in there | 21:46 |
| Artelus | im a complete newbie with other operating systems | 21:46 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | now what? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | Artelus: what's up | 21:46 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, you saved? | 21:46 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nope, how do i do that? | 21:46 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, ctl-X | 21:46 |
| Artelus | i just downloadad ubuntu on ubuntu.com and burned it to a CD, now what? | 21:46 |
| bobertdos | Is 64-bit support in the next release confirmed, miranda_psi? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | Artelus: boot from the cd | 21:46 |
| Artelus | do i need to make a new partition or something? | 21:47 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | Done | 21:47 |
| ikonia | Artelus: the installer walks you through that | 21:47 |
| guntbert | kestutis: still the "administrator" of you system is the user root, but you don't *work* as root, so there is essentially no password for root (in ubuntu), use sudo/gksu for this purpose | 21:47 |
| roccity | Artelus: put the cd in your cd drive and restart your computer | 21:47 |
| guntbert | *your system | 21:47 |
| Artelus | the installer does the partition thing automacally? | 21:47 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier ah script error, you could do sudo set -x checkinstall make install # assuming the syntax is correct. and see lots of debugging info. might want to 2>output so you can look into it rather than it scrolling by so fast. | 21:47 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: saved it, now what, btw, thanks for being patient with me | 21:47 |
| ikonia | Artelus: it walks you through it | 21:47 |
| onetinsoldier | _2 and Gnea : ok, checkinstall has a bug.. sudo make install works | 21:47 |
| roccity | Artelus: make sure that it is set to boot from cd | 21:47 |
| roccity | Artelus: and follow the instructions | 21:47 |
| Artelus | ok, thanks :) | 21:47 |
| style | Hello | 21:48 |
| zoid | however, thanks for the help Gnea and ikonia | 21:48 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, now, just to be sure: does the last line of the output of dpkg -l nvidia-glx-177 look like: nvidia-glx-177 177.80-0ubuntu NVIDIA binary Xorg driver ? And no problem, I understand you're trusting me blindly :) | 21:48 |
| Artelus | it also gives me an option to install inside windows. what's that? | 21:48 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier if you want to debug it ^ | 21:48 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: roger | 21:48 |
| ikonia | Artelus: not something I recommend personally, but it makes a virtual file system out of a file within windows | 21:48 |
| miranda_psi | bobertdos: I have downloaded an early build of it and the directory is there for the plugin, but I haven't actually tried to use it and it has also been said on several news sites | 21:48 |
| ikonia | Artelus: personally, I strongly recommend you use the normal installer | 21:48 |
| roccity | Artelus: do you want to keep your windows | 21:49 |
| Artelus | yes | 21:49 |
| lumpycam | bobertdos: apt-cache search icedtea the search reveals what you need for 64 bit java/firefox plugins | 21:49 |
| Gnea | zoid: cheers, and good luck | 21:49 |
| roccity | Artelus: I agree with ikonia | 21:49 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, and I typoed the last: ii nvidia-glx-177 177.80-0ubuntu NVIDIA binary Xorg driver | 21:49 |
| roccity | normal install | 21:49 |
| _2 | onetinsoldier you probably already know that checkinstall is a script | 21:49 |
| Artelus | so, "Install inside Windows" will replace windows with ubuntu? | 21:49 |
| onetinsoldier | _2: yep.. i knew | 21:49 |
| ikonia | Artelus: no | 21:49 |
| Gnea | zoid: and... happy new year :) | 21:49 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud, i got some other stuff too, but that line is outputted | 21:49 |
| ikonia | Artelus: it will install it along side it on a virtual file system | 21:49 |
| Artelus | ah | 21:49 |
| ikonia | Artelus: you can still only boot one at a time | 21:49 |
| Artelus | alright, thanks =) | 21:50 |
| roccity | Artelus: try a dual boot system | 21:50 |
| ikonia | Artelus: as I said, I'd strongly recommend against it | 21:50 |
| zoid | the same to you, Gnea | 21:50 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, ok. We've installed the right driver, told X we want to use that driver (assuming no typos :) . Time to test. Reboot | 21:50 |
| Artelus | I'll restart windows now and check out the demo | 21:50 |
| bobertdos | lumpycam: I know, I've got all that. I am content to wait for native support, however. It doesn't bother me as much as it does some people. | 21:50 |
| kestutis | Thanks. | 21:50 |
| roccity | Artelus: you will come to a part where it will ask if you want to resize your disk | 21:50 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | ok nickrud, hopefully it works, if not, im sure i can find my way back here | 21:50 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | :) | 21:50 |
| radar1976 | i'm trying to filter a string from a file, it has the same starting and ending but the middle changes. how would i grep the results? | 21:51 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | later | 21:51 |
| nickrud | see you in a few function1 | 21:51 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, ^^ sorry function1 | 21:51 |
| _2 | fuzeboxsoftware you can test 'startx' | 21:51 |
| bobertdos | miranda_psi: Well, since it does appear to be actively in the works, that's enough for me :) | 21:51 |
| nickrud | _2, right, he just won't have acceleration. Good catch | 21:51 |

| weternal | what's the package name/command for awn | 21:53 |
| nickrud | weternal, avant-window-navigator | 21:53 |

| weternal | is songbird in the repositories | 21:55 |

| bastid_raZor | weternal; the current svn version of songbird still has a serious memory leak :\ | 21:56 |
| coz_ | the odd thing is that it does compile on ubuntu intrepid! | 21:56 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud? | 21:56 |
| coz_ | are there any differences between the gl header files on hardy compared to intrepid? | 21:56 |
| nickrud | weternal, apt-cache search <term> where term is part of the package name, program, function, etc. try editor for example | 21:56 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, how'd it go? | 21:56 |

| ubottu | radar1976: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 22:06 |
| d0nets | kso412 i did | 22:06 |
| d0nets | and i rebooted | 22:06 |
| hoffa | Just rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel | 22:06 |
| deany | josher4: oh, external....i dont know about usb external and booting. | 22:06 |
| rebelkeir | ok ubottu :-) | 22:06 |
| MatBoy | coz_: it's possible I know but you need the same screens in resolution | 22:07 |
| zerothis | Assultcube froze my mouse pointer, is there a way to refresh my pointer without rebooting? | 22:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coz_, Ask in #compiz.. there is a limit to the res that effects can support | 22:07 |
| josher4 | Does any one else know about this? | 22:07 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: learning anything? | 22:07 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, ok thats not hard what you want to do is go to gnome-look.org and look for both metacity and gtk2 themes metacity thems will take care of the iwndow borders and gtk2 the menu colors and window interirors | 22:07 |
| radar1976 | guntbert: grep "http://prd.images.domain/*tn.jpg$" drive_image.txt does not give any results | 22:07 |
| guntbert | radar1976: you made a typo, please reread what I wrote | 22:07 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, crap. I didn't read the supported device list carefully enough. It appears the 9500M is supported, but not the GT http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html and apt-cache show nvidia-glx-177 | 22:07 |
| hoffa | d0nets ? | 22:07 |
| guntbert | radar1976: actually two typos :) | 22:07 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, you can further enhance those by finding a different icon theme | 22:08 |
| radar1976 | oh | 22:08 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: so my card is not supported in linux? | 22:08 |
| MatBoy | coz_: ok, is there a config tool that is nice ? I have seen that murrine is not devved that well anymore.. | 22:08 |
| d0nets | i did compiz --replace | 22:08 |

| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, that's what I'm reading, but also why I gave you the links to check yourself. | 22:08 |
| Chris_Chase | would anybody be able to help me out with the ubuntu server os? | 22:08 |
| miranda_psi | yoyit2: look at k3b | 22:08 |

| coz_ | MatBoy, well config tool for gtk2 themes is not really avaiable other than system/preferences/appearance but I really wouldnt call that a config ui | 22:09 |
| miranda_psi | Chris_Chase: you will have to be more specific than that... What is the problem? | 22:09 |
| maynards-girl | yoyit2, try k3b | 22:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chris_Chase, /join #Ubuntu-server | 22:09 |
| josher4 | I have an external drive that I just formatted where I have a ntfs partition and a ext3 partition for Ubuntu. I had the MBR (The GRUB loader) installed in the partition for Ubuntu so that when I plug my external in, it gives me an option of which OS to load. Windows loads fine but when I plug my drive in (Boot sequence: External Drive comes before windows), I get a black screen with a... | 22:09 |
| josher4 | ...blinking white "bar". Now the linux installation is in a logical partition. Does it have to be a primary partition or what? | 22:09 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, you would have to edit the gtkrc file located in each theme source | 22:09 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, sorry for the long path to finding this out; I just saw 9500 in the output of the apt-cache show nvidia-glx-177 and didn't think further | 22:09 |
| MatBoy | coz_: I don't even have apperiance yet... and I know you get it when you install compiz :) but I don't want compiz :D | 22:09 |
| ahaminoo | can anybody help with my suspend problem | 22:09 |
| miranda_psi | yoyit2: its a burning program - you can install it through synaptic | 22:09 |
| hoffa | d0nets, just C/P this into the terminal: rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel It will restore the panels. And re-login after that. | 22:09 |
| regio | Escriba el texto aquí....hello | 22:09 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, no on gnome under system/preferences/appearnce | 22:09 |
| MatBoy | my quad core can handle it, but graphical support in linux stil kinda suck :) | 22:09 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: np, at least you took the time out to help me | 22:09 |
| yoyit2 | maynards-girl: i tried to copy and paste to the "blank cd-r disc" and then click "write to disc" and then a window comes up asking for write speed and drive... but when i click "write" nothing happens | 22:10 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: sucks that i won't use linux now though | 22:10 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, that is where you install and choose the themes | 22:10 |
| guntbert | !es | regio | 22:10 |
| ubottu | regio: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 22:10 |
| MatBoy | coz_: nope | 22:10 |
| comicinker | yoyit2: depending on the hardware where you want to playback that cd, you have to watch out which format the mp3 (data)-cd must have | 22:10 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: back to winblows vista | 22:10 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, let me look at some stuff, I swear I saw some links on the net saying it was | 22:10 |
| MatBoy | coz_: in compiz ? | 22:10 |
| MatBoy | coz_: I thought in emerald :) | 22:10 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, no on gnome in the menus | 22:10 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: kk, appreciate it | 22:10 |
| yoyit2 | comicinker: i just want to play it in my car.. so how do i do that? | 22:10 |
| hoffa | Problem solved d0nets ? | 22:10 |
| MatBoy | coz_: you lost me there | 22:10 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, well emerald theme manager does have extensive editig capabilities compare to gnome themes | 22:10 |
| Chris_Chase | um well i was following a tutorial and it said to type in sudo aptitude update $$ sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 22:11 |
| macman | guys .. what is a good trick to keep my battery from dying ? i have a dell precision m90 running ubuntu 8.10 | 22:11 |

| Csana | hi | 22:11 |
| Chris_Chase | anand i got a message back saying it couldnt connect but i dont know what the problem is | 22:11 |
| d0nets | i might need you to paste that command again when i get back | 22:11 |
| radar1976 | guntbert: fixed the errors, still not working | 22:11 |
| hoffa | I don't think it's about compiz. | 22:11 |
| MatBoy | coz_: yep | 22:11 |
| Keigo | Does anyone know of a good program which can convert .wmv to .mp3 or .ogg? | 22:11 |
| comicinker | hoffa: d0nets: you mustn remove that dir while gnome running. you should do gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel | 22:12 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, ok then under System go to Preferences and then go to Appearance | 22:12 |
| miranda_psi | Chris_Chase: What was the exact error message? | 22:12 |
| radar1976 | guntbert: grep "http://prd.images.domain.com/.*tnr.jpg$" | 22:12 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, that dialog is the extent of user configuration for gnome | 22:12 |
| ahaminoo | I can't suspend to ram ... can anybody please help | 22:12 |
| nidhug | good evening.could anyone hel with a little problem? eee 901 + ubuntu 8.04 and wlan does not works (founds the networks but firefox nor anything else works after connecting) | 22:12 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, gnome themes anyway | 22:12 |
| MatBoy | coz_: my fault :) | 22:12 |
| hoffa | comicinker, It doesn't change anything, I've been using that command for years, and my house havn't blown up yet. | 22:12 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: i have tried pretty much alot of stuff i have seen on the net, to no avail, probably just me, but not sure | 22:12 |
| d0nets | ok hoffa could you give me that again | 22:12 |
| mib_rgu38q | anyone know why i have absolutely no packages listed in synaptic package manager? | 22:13 |
| MatBoy | coz_: but gnome-look.org is not usable there ? | 22:13 |
| coz_ | o0 | 22:13 |
| maxbaldwin | what is the mozilla firefoxjava package, to play youtube videos, flash, etc? | 22:13 |
| hoffa | rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel | 22:13 |
| d0nets | thanks | 22:13 |
| deany | maxbaldwin: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:13 |
| fosco_ | maxbaldwin: flashplugin-nonfree | 22:13 |
| hoffa | You're welcome. | 22:13 |
| yoyit2 | how do i write an MP3 cd.. its not working for me | 22:13 |
| maxbaldwin | thank you deany and fosco_ ... | 22:13 |
| comicinker | yoyit2: use a goog cd burning program like k3b | 22:13 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, no you have to go to gnome-look.org through firefox and then on the left choose GTK2x or matacity and browse through the themes | 22:13 |
| d0nets | ok so now just ctrl alt baskspace hoffa? | 22:13 |
| miranda_psi | nidhug: are you connecting properly? run ifconfig and make sure your wireless has the ip address you would expect | 22:13 |
| Chris_Chase | Err http://security.ubuntu.com secuirty/universe Translation.en.CA could not connect to 'secuirty.ubuntu.com/ | 22:14 |
| hoffa | Just logoff and login. | 22:14 |
| d0nets | how | 22:14 |
| yoyit2 | comicinker: just off of add/remove? | 22:14 |
| d0nets | my panel is gone | 22:14 |
| iShock | w 10 | 22:14 |
| hspaans | hoffa: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel && pkill gnome-panel <-- this is much safer | 22:14 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, then download the ones you like and through System/Preferences/Appearance you install them by hitting the "Install" button for each | 22:14 |
| MatBoy | coz_: ok, thanks ! Inever was good in themes and so on :) | 22:14 |
| mib_rgu38q | Anyone know why synaptic package manager would be showing no packages? Even under the different categories. | 22:14 |
| deany | maxbaldwin: ubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage for java/flash, flashplugin-nonfree is the actual package for flash. | 22:14 |
| guntbert | radar1976: of course, I was a bit silly there ;), you must tell grep the file you want to search, so grep "http://prd.images.domain.com/.*tnr.jpg$" <yourfile> should do it | 22:14 |
| hoffa | Safer about what ? The panels are loaded at the beginning, it doesn't change anything if you play with it. | 22:15 |
| Csana | tell me when you guys are done | 22:15 |
| fosco_ | mib_rgu38q: try dpkg -l in a terminal | 22:15 |
| maxbaldwin | ok, so installing both is just fine, deany? | 22:15 |
| josher4 | I have an external drive that I just formatted where I have a ntfs partition and a ext3 partition for Ubuntu. I had the MBR (The GRUB loader) installed in the partition for Ubuntu so that when I plug my external in, it gives me an option of which OS to load. Windows loads fine but when I plug my drive in (Boot sequence: External Drive comes before windows), I get a black screen with a... | 22:15 |
| josher4 | ...blinking white "bar". Now the linux installation is in a logical partition. I need help! | 22:15 |
| d0nets | hoffa how do i logoff without my panel | 22:15 |
| deany | maxbaldwin: installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will install all what you need | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chris_Chase, what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:15 |
| miranda_psi | Chris_Chase: is that an exact copy (letter for letter)? if it is then it looks like there is a spelling mistake in the sources list... | 22:15 |
| guntbert | d0nets: <CTRL><ALT><BACHSPACE> | 22:15 |
| deany | maxbaldwin: if you want java and flash. | 22:15 |
| guntbert | d0nets: <CTRL><ALT><BACkSPACE> | 22:15 |
| d0nets | k thats what i thought | 22:15 |
| d0nets | brb | 22:15 |
| comicinker | yoyit2: I don't know the step by step procedure, and I don't know you car radio. try to find settings to increase the compatibilty of the (data-)cd you are creating | 22:16 |
| Chris_Chase | i dont know the exact copy of the error | 22:16 |
| MatBoy | coz_: GDM themes are gnome themes too wasn't it ? | 22:16 |
| hkBst | which kernel version does 8.10 come with? | 22:16 |

| powertool08 | I just installed ati drivers from ati not repos to get dual monitors going. Under one user the big desktop mode works great, under my main user kdm starts in the right mode but reverts to clone on login, I change to big desktop in catalyst, works great, restart and same problem. Why won't the settings stick? | 22:16 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, gdm themes are the themes that will change the logon screen when you first boot where you put the user name and the password | 22:16 |
| hoffa | fuzeboxsoftware, sudo apt-get install centerim | 22:16 |
| Flannel | fuzeboxsoftware: install centerim, it's a terminal chat program | 22:16 |
| d0nets | hoffa i still have no top panel | 22:16 |

| Csana | i would like to have my ubuntu comp connect to a win2k machine and through it to the internet is that possible? | 22:17 |

| josher4 | Can anyone help me? Surely there must be someone? | 22:17 |
| coz_ | MatBoy, sorry System/Administrationi/Logon window Local tab | 22:17 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: Use gparted | 22:17 |
| miranda_psi | Chris_Chase: try going into the synaptic package manage and go to sources from the menus and try changing where you download from and see if that helps | 22:17 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: learning anything? | 22:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ics > Csana | 22:17 |
| ubottu | Csana, please see my private message | 22:17 |
| guntbert | radar1976: be a little more verbose please, I cannot look over your shoulder :), please pastebin the file we are talking about | 22:17 |
| Flannel | ColdFyre: You didn't interrupt, and yes that's possible. You just have to set up internet sharing in XP | 22:17 |
| hspaans | hoffa: rm isn't allows the right answer, its a lot like cleaning a windows registry with deleting parts of the tree | 22:17 |
| yoyit2 | Fezzler: wher do i getthat from? | 22:17 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, a bit. Apparently it works for some | 22:18 |
| MatBoy | coz_: ok, thanks :) | 22:18 |
| yoyit2 | Fezzler: add/remove? | 22:18 |
| d0nets | anyone else have any idea how to get my top panel (the important one with applications, places, and system) back | 22:18 |
| d0nets | im not sure what happened but i started up and it was gone | 22:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | miranda_psi, Wont that be hard to do in his server non-gui install | 22:18 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: for some? guess i don't fit in, :( lol | 22:18 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | not in the kewl crowd | 22:18 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | lol | 22:18 |
| ziroday | d0nets: do you have any other panels? | 22:18 |
| hoffa | hspaans, I know it's a little rambo style, but it still works. | 22:18 |
| d0nets | no | 22:18 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: I've used it. But can't recall. Please Google it | 22:18 |
| d0nets | i use awn | 22:18 |
| ziroday | d0nets: okay, is the program gnome-panel running? | 22:18 |
| miranda_psi | Jack_Sparrow: oops... | 22:18 |
| deany | d0nets: right click new panel on bottom panel? | 22:18 |
| * miranda_psi slaps own face | 22:19 | |
| ziroday | deany: he has no panels :) | 22:19 |
| deany | d0nets: then drag it to where you want it. and setup accordingly | 22:19 |
| d0nets | ziroday no | 22:19 |
| d0nets | deany no | 22:19 |
| deany | NO panels? | 22:19 |
| comicinker | yoyit2: to increase compatibility use DOS or Joliet file system on the data cd (in k3b, click on project options) | 22:19 |
| deany | how? | 22:19 |
| yoyit2 | Fezzler: thx | 22:19 |
| d0nets | i only use the top one | 22:19 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Hello | 22:19 |
| d0nets | i use AWN for the bottom one | 22:19 |
| ziroday | d0nets: try run the command gnome-panel then | 22:19 |
| d0nets | for my task switching | 22:19 |
| deepfriedsquirre | How stable is Ubuntu compared to Debian Lenny? | 22:19 |
| d0nets | <3 | 22:19 |
| hspaans | hoffa: it's teaching yourself bad habits that are going to bite you in the future | 22:19 |
| deany | oh, im not a AWN user | 22:19 |

| deepfriedsquirre | Alright, sorry | 22:20 |

| ziroday | d0nets: can you rephrase that please | 22:20 |
| miranda_psi | Chris_Chase: can you put up an example of a link in your /etc/apt/sources.list file on www.ubuntu.pastebin.com ? | 22:20 |
| d0nets | all my settings and such | 22:20 |
| d0nets | its diff color, my shortcuts are gone | 22:20 |
| d0nets | my little gadgets and such are gone | 22:20 |
| radar1976 | guntbert: http://pastebin.ca/1297872 (only good for 30 mins) | 22:20 |
| ziroday | d0nets: well you can recustomize it | 22:21 |
| d0nets | oh well i have been meaning to format and install 8.10 anyways | 22:21 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | how do you send out messages with centerim? | 22:21 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | hitting enter, not working | 22:21 |
| yoyit2 | Fezzler: so ur saying with changing the size of the partition i can make ubuntu larger?? but isnt it all on one partition | 22:21 |
| Chris_Chase | miranda_psi, im very new to ubuntu so i wouldnt know how to do that | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | d0nets, Which is why we tried to not use that command and tried the other one first | 22:21 |
| d0nets | i see | 22:21 |
| d0nets | that one removed my settings eh? | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yep | 22:21 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: gparted will allow you to change your partition sizes | 22:21 |
| hoffa | Suomalaisia ? | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | d0nets, We had some other things to try, but now it is too late | 22:22 |
| comicinker | fuzeboxsoftware: did you try ctrl enter, shift enter? | 22:22 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | 22:22 |
| yoyit2 | Fezzler: i know, but like i said i only have ONE partition | 22:22 |
| miranda_psi | Chris_Chase: you can see whats in the file by: vim /etc/apt/sources.list and then you can find a couple of lines starting with deb and put them up ex\actly as they are | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yoyit2, You can create a separate /home on a different partition (a good idea by the way) | 22:22 |
| hoffa | I'm too tired to update my kernel. But the changes they've made are so damn nice. | 22:22 |
| Chris_Chase | ok one min | 22:23 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: You can increase it with gparted to make use of the entire disk. | 22:23 |
| yoyit2 | Jack_Sparrow: and that would fix my 8GB thing permenantly ?? | 22:23 |
| comicinker | yoyit2: could you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l somewhere? | 22:23 |
| nikin | hy. What does console-kit-damen do.. and why is it spawning about 20 of itself by system strt? | 22:23 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | can't take this command prompt no mo | 22:23 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | i need some gui | 22:24 |
| hoffa | Anyone tried Ext4 yet ? | 22:24 |
| yoyit2 | comicinker: im REALLY new to ubuntu i just deleted vista 5days ago.. so WHAT?? | 22:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yoyit2, 8 gig for / aka root and as much as you can create for /home would help | 22:24 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: f you are resizing a Windows partition. defragment the partition (from Windows) first. | 22:24 |
| yoyit2 | comicinker: **so, what do i do? | 22:24 |
| onetinsoldier | hmmm | 22:25 |
| guntbert | radar1976: thats different: you said, all line have the same ending but that seems not to be the case, so please omit the $ (grep "http://prd.images.domain/*tn.jpg" drive_image.txt) | 22:25 |
| Fezzler | yoyit2: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/ | 22:25 |
| radar1976 | guntbert: with the -o option | 22:26 |
| Artelus | Hello | 22:26 |
| Artelus | I have a problem in the installation =/ | 22:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onetinsoldier, http://pastebin.com/d2271fc01 working on it | 22:26 |
| comicinker | yoyit2: maybe I understand your problem better if I see your harddisc config now. open a terminal and type "sudo fdisk -l" (without quotes) and copy paste the output on www.ubuntu.pastebin.com | 22:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | comicinker, He left | 22:27 |
| Artelus | on step 4, it tells me to choose a drive or root to install ubuntu on, but it doesn't list anything | 22:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: hey, sounds good, thanks :-) ..i'll have a look | 22:27 |
| comicinker | thank god | 22:27 |
| guntbert | radar1976: what -o option? | 22:27 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud, giving up? | 22:27 |
| Artelus | so what is wrong with it? D: | 22:27 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, no, one last thing. Making sure I have the syntax right | 22:27 |
| rebelkeir | what's the best usb pendrive to have ubuntu 8.10 on so i can take it with me? | 22:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: if i had a nickel for every time i've taken someone through that process.... lol | 22:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Artelus, if it does not show any drives you will need to boot with a command line modifier all_generic_ide to test it | 22:27 |
| raylu | rebelkeir: they're all pretty much the same. though, stay away from sandisk | 22:28 |
| Artelus | What does that mean? o.o | 22:28 |
| radar1976 | -o will print the results of the line, not the whole line | 22:28 |
| radar1976 | guntbert: | 22:28 |
| Artelus | so what am i doing wrong? | 22:28 |
| kestutis | Hey, again | 22:28 |
| rebelkeir | thnx Raylu what would be a good size? | 22:28 |
| Artelus | can someone contact me on MSN or PM to help me? | 22:29 |
| bahadunn | anyone know how LS_COLORS gets set? | 22:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: would you like me to point out typo's? --> So gdm is myr | 22:29 |
| kestutis | explain me again, what is root user? | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Artelus, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and add all_generic_ide before the "--" | 22:29 |
| guntbert | radar1976: ah, you want to extract only the sepific urls? | 22:29 |
| bahadunn | its in the default environment but I cannot find it being exported in any bashrc file or anything | 22:29 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, run lspci | grep -i vga, you should get one line back. paste it here (one line only) | 22:29 |
| guntbert | *specific | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onetinsoldier, Nah, I'll spell check it before posting | 22:29 |
| Artelus | I was using the live cd | 22:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: ok, cool | 22:29 |
| Artelus | I was in the live demo installing it | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Artelus, To get live cd to show your missing hard drive this often helps..At start or install press F6 and add all_generic_ide before the "--" | 22:30 |
| Artelus | what does "all_generic_ide" do? | 22:30 |
| guntbert | kestutis: I explained it already, please read what I wrote | 22:30 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: don't know how to copy and paste, but got two lines back, one for the 9500gt and the one onboard | 22:30 |
| docmur | okay I downloaded and installed the ati site driver for my card, NOW totem wont play movies, it always want to search for codecs but the codec search window it empty and when I use the other two media players xine and mplayer the video is choppy and slow, when I say choppy I mean frame, frame, frame, black screen, frame etc... | 22:30 |
| docmur | any ideas | 22:31 |
| exodus | Artelus, it will let the os see your hdd's | 22:31 |
| Artelus | ok, thanks :) | 22:31 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, ah! disable the onboard in bios, try that | 22:31 |
| Artelus | i'll be right back, going to try to install it now.. | 22:31 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud, already tried, no option to do so | 22:31 |
| kestutis | it didn't explain me.. ;/ i still don't understand. | 22:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | exodus, I thought I was pretty clear about what it did | 22:31 |

| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: looks great to me so far! since it's so long will it be posted as a link to go to on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ ? just wondering | 22:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onetinsoldier, I would probably just stick it into a pastebin and keep the link handy | 22:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Jack_Sparrow: ok, roger | 22:33 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, add this line to the device section: BusID "PCI:2:0:0" , then try startx again | 22:33 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud...forget how to add it | 22:33 |

| anakron | someone knows a Spanish server for gnome-dictionary that works? | 22:35 |
| kestutis | so, i can't do anything with root user. I mean about changing privilegies or something. root just can everything and i can't change it. right? | 22:35 |
| exodus_ms | kestutis, could you try and re-phrase the question please | 22:36 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud, whats the save keys? | 22:36 |
| nickrud | anakron, try looking on http://www.luetzschena-stahmeln.de/dictd/index.php | 22:36 |

| fuzeboxsoftware | do i need to restart or just try startx? | 22:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onetinsoldier, http://pastebin.com/m6813e595 | 22:37 |
| kestutis | Sure, i can. actually i would like to know what Sudo does. | 22:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 22:37 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 22:37 |
| Chris_Chase | miranda_psi, when i type that in you want exactly what it says? | 22:37 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | nickrud: do i need to restart or just try startx? | 22:37 |
| nickrud | fuzeboxsoftware, startx should work (or give different (hopefully) error | 22:38 |
| exodus_ms | kestutis, remember that in the terminal case does matter | 22:38 |
| stroyan | kestutis: apparmor (or selinux) can restrict what programs can do to less than a user like root could normally do. | 22:38 |

| volkerts | peace. | 22:57 |

| DIFH-iceroot | volkerts: wine = (w)ine (i)s (n)ot an (e)mulator | 22:58 |
| mrwes | nickrud that's a matter of opinion | 22:58 |
| hspaans | kestutis: you restarted your browser? | 22:58 |
| nickrud | Son_of_Demetrius, that's what wine allows; running a subset of apps that run on windows. | 22:58 |
| kestutis | yes, i restarted Firefox. | 22:58 |
| nickrud | mrwes, yes, and mine is authoritative (and stops being off topic) :) | 22:58 |

| onetinsoldier | kestutis: and then it seems like i recall having to do something else | 22:59 |
| comicinker | josher4: you bootloader is gone | 22:59 |
| mrwes | nickrud no I mean if you have a windows software package that has features you can't live without, Wine offers a option | 22:59 |
| hspaans | kestutis: with about:plugins in the url-box you can check things | 22:59 |
| josher4 | comicinker: What? I just installed Ubuntu... | 22:59 |
| onetinsoldier | medibuntu | kestutis | 22:59 |

| exodus_ms | andypls1, well, your not going to get much help here unless the problem is ubuntu support related :) | 23:10 |
| mortuis99 | hspaans there is a Dir with Sub Dris and files in it that i cant get rid of | 23:10 |
| techsuperfreak | birkoff np, the only line you need in the file is nameserver x.x.x.x - your dns server | 23:10 |
| josher4 | comicinker: For the Ubuntu installation on my external HD | 23:10 |
| hspaans | mortuis99: files and info? | 23:10 |
| mortuis99 | hspaans yes | 23:10 |
| comicinker | I think so. try it. | 23:10 |
| ikonia | josher4: if your installing to an external HD, I'd recommend leaving your /boot partitiona and grub on your internal disk | 23:11 |
| birkoff | techsuperfreak: Yeah ... just two lines | 23:11 |
| birkoff | techsuperfreak: So ... do I need to reboot after that ? | 23:11 |
| techsuperfreak | birkoff nope | 23:11 |
| hspaans | mortuis99: they are part of your wastebin, you can't delete them | 23:11 |
| birkoff | techsuperfreak: yay ... it's working | 23:11 |
| birkoff | techsuperfreak: Thanks | 23:11 |
| techsuperfreak | birkoff np | 23:11 |
| mortuis99 | hspaans NO NO i misunderstood you this is dats that i put there to be deleted | 23:12 |
| josher4 | ikonia: But I heard that if you install the Grub to the internal, when you dont have the external in, it will give you many errors | 23:12 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: maybe the folder is on an external drive | 23:12 |
| ikonia | josher4: thats right, which is why I said leave you /boot partition on the internal disk also | 23:12 |
| ikonia | josher4: grub needs /boot to even display the menu | 23:12 |
| josher4 | Ah...... | 23:12 |
| flush | mayday mayday mayday | 23:13 |
| mortuis99 | comicinker that isnt mounted? can i still delete it from the trash? | 23:13 |
| josher4 | ikonia: SO, when I install, what do I do? | 23:13 |
| flush | i am not able to remove anything from the ftp shell if its not located in the root directory (/home/ftp) like things in (/home/ftp/uploads) cannot be deleted.. any idea ?? | 23:13 |
| ikonia | josher4: put /boot on your internal disk, and put grub on your internal disk, put / on your external disk | 23:13 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: external drives get an own trash folder. if the drive is mounted, trashed filed on that drive will show up on trash:/// | 23:14 |
| ikonia | flush: check th permissions | 23:14 |
| ikonia | the | 23:14 |
| techsuperfreak | flush what perms on the files | 23:14 |
| josher4 | ikonia: That is what I did (The slash part) | 23:14 |
| flush | i did "chown -R ftp. /home/ftp" and "chmod -R 755 /home/ftp" | 23:14 |
| ikonia | josher4: super | 23:14 |
| mib_idz5t157 | guys. Does anyone know why, when I launch a shell script from a desktop shortcut (.dekstop file), no terminal window is shown showing the output of the script. I know it runs because it starts a service which listens on a port and which works fine | 23:14 |
| flush | how comes i dont have permissions to delete then ? | 23:14 |
| ikonia | mib_idz5t157: the window shuts once the script is run | 23:15 |
| mortuis99 | comicinker in the location bar it does say trash:/// | 23:15 |
| ikonia | mib_idz5t157: so fast you can't see | 23:15 |
| mib_idz5t157 | ok | 23:15 |
| techsuperfreak | flush ls -l /home/ftp | 23:15 |
| ikonia | mib_idz5t157: keep in mind, a shell is not a terminal | 23:15 |
| mib_idz5t157 | makes sense | 23:15 |
| kulawend | Can the Archive Manager that comes with gnome handle .RAR files? | 23:15 |

| flush | drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp nogroup 4096 2009-01-01 17:58 uploads | 23:15 |

| josher4 | ikonia: Ok, so, When I install, I make the selection thing a / and when it asks about where to put the boot thing, I select my Internal partition??? | 23:16 |

| Artelus | Heya | 23:29 |
| josher4 | ikonia: You mean have everything in the same ports? | 23:29 |
| doopydoop | how do I check if the wiping is successful? Like a test | 23:29 |
| hspaans | eigenval: man ogginfo | 23:29 |
| ikonia | josher4: yup and no more/less disks | 23:29 |
| Artelus | I still have a problem with Ubuntu... | 23:29 |
| ikonia | doopydoop: it will have done it | 23:29 |
| doopydoop | oh okay. thanks ikonia | 23:29 |
| ikonia | doopydoop: run a partition manager on the disk and you'll see no partitions | 23:29 |
| Artelus | for some reason, it doesn't give me an option to resize my partition | 23:29 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: but keep in mind the problem with journaling file systems (see man wipe) | 23:29 |
| MdrMkh | hi everyone | 23:30 |
| hspaans | doopydoop: wiping is never succesful unless you destroy the disk or used an encrypted LVM | 23:30 |
| ziggy | Made an ubuntu partition on an extern hdd, forgot to also install the bootloader there, now I need to fix my mbr from vista without entering it, all I can run atm is this live disk from 8.10 | 23:30 |
| sebastian | what is the channel for ubuntu-eee? | 23:30 |
| Artelus | and, the first time I ran the install, it gave me an option to resize the windows partition, but when I clicked next, it doesn't load, it just stays at 0%. What am i doung wring? | 23:30 |
| eigenval | hspaans: No manual entry for ogginfo :-( | 23:30 |
| MdrMkh | simple question... i am an html programmer (bad programmer...) and I am looking for an editor, simple and easy to use... | 23:30 |
| doopydoop | hspaans: what about this dban program? | 23:30 |
| MdrMkh | amaya or bluefish? | 23:31 |
| ikonia | ziggy: boot from your windows disk and use the /fixboot option from the recovery option | 23:31 |
| ikonia | doopydoop: forget it - just do what I told you | 23:31 |
| mortuis99 | comicinker i am at the trash dir and can see the contents. I did a shred -n25 -uz *.jpg | 23:31 |
| ikonia | doopydoop: it will work fine | 23:31 |
| mrjohnsen | Hello! I can't find my gnome session file. Any tips? It's not in ~/gnome2/ and I have tried gnome-session-save | 23:31 |
| fosco_ | MdrMkh: i like bluefish | 23:31 |
| ikonia | doopydoop: if your that worried, smash the disk | 23:31 |
| mortuis99 | comicinker i am at the trash dir and can see the contents. I did a shred -n25 -uz *.jpg amd get a permission denied | 23:31 |
| MdrMkh | thanks fosco_ | 23:31 |
| MdrMkh | i am not going to look forward... your opinion is good 4 me | 23:31 |
| sebastian | what is the channel for ubuntu-eee? | 23:32 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: are you on a external drive? is it mounted as read only? did you try chmod +rw *.jpg? | 23:32 |
| MdrMkh | and do not have enough time to learn both and then to choose... | 23:32 |

| flush | hspaans hrmm lemme see | 23:38 |
| sheena1 | re: adobe shockwave. I understand it can be done, to run shockwave programs through windows FF through wine. the FF runs fine but I manually installed the plug in, and it put an exe file on my desktop, so i ran it (installed it?) with Wine. it said that all went well, but FF doesnt know it's there. do i have to put a file into the "plugin" folder for FF? | 23:38 |
| Sorcererbob | why rm -rf? why not just rmdir? | 23:38 |
| nwbie__ | when is the new ubuntu upgrade being released? | 23:38 |

| Sorcererbob | !fstab | 23:39 |
| lumpycam | flush: try ln -s /mnt/public_dump /home/ftp/asdf asdf will be the symlink. | 23:39 |

| diogokiss | I need some help with my sound card in Ubuntu 8.10 | 23:41 |
| ziroday | aleksN^: because the servers can't be found or you are not connected to the internet? | 23:41 |
| hollywoodb | aleksN^: does this always happen or did it start just recently? | 23:41 |
| diogokiss | anybody here can help me? | 23:41 |
| mrjohnsen | fosco_: ah, thanks. | 23:41 |
| ziggy | got no empty cd's | 23:41 |
| dexi | thanks. Xchats cool :) | 23:41 |
| sheena1 | re: adobe shockwave. I understand shockwave programs can be run through windows FireFox through wine. the FF runs fine, but I manually installed the shockwave plug in, and it put an exe file on my desktop, so i ran it (installed it?) with Wine. it said that all went well, but FF doesn't know it's there. do i have to put a file into the "plugin" folder for FF? | 23:41 |
| ziggy | and I'm running from a live disk atm | 23:41 |
| dexi | im not getting any sound from java applets | 23:41 |
| mrjohnsen | hspaans: ok. i'll try .config/autostart. thanks | 23:41 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I'm having problems with rythembox, it doesnt play anything, it says its playing but the timer doesnt go up. any ideas? | 23:41 |
| mrjohnsen | ls | 23:41 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: leave out trash:// and replace the %252f with / ; so you will have /media/disk/.Trash-1000/DRM | 23:42 |
| ziggy | will try to fix it with my built-in recovery disk trough wine | 23:42 |
| ziroday | ziggy: then look at the links I gave you before, they tell you how to restore grub from the livecd | 23:42 |
| scunizi_ | hollywoodb: I've been experiencing the same repo 404's recently.. us repos.. | 23:42 |
| hspaans | mrjohnsen: you call also configure it in the sessions dialog under system | 23:42 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: and why are you telling me? was there a question? | 23:42 |
| kulawend | CoUrPsE|DeAd: Do you have the right codecs for the media your trying to play? | 23:42 |
| sheena1 | courpsedead, i had a similar issue with mine, and it was because i wsa trying to play proprietary formats. getting the right codecs and eventually converting the files helped. | 23:42 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | kuchenhure, Yep, | 23:42 |
| hollywoodb | sheena1: that isn't how it works. You would also need to install Firefox with wine and run the win32 version of firefox. Your linux Firefox package can not and will not be able to read things you install via wine | 23:42 |
| levidos | is it possible to change my full name? | 23:43 |
| mikethk | comicinker: No, I just need to run xserver so it will save when im done with the changes..? | 23:43 |
| ziggy | ziroday, pm | 23:43 |
| aleksN^ | I haven't been using my server for a while, but when I tried to install something a few days ago, it appeared. I'm sure that it is connected to internet, because I run several servers on it, and I'm also connected to it through putty. | 23:43 |
| mrwes | courpsedead: you've install the restrcited packages? | 23:43 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I have the right codecs, it has worked before this morning, | 23:43 |
| ziroday | ziggy: no. See the links I gave you before. They tell you how to restore grub from the ubuntu livecd | 23:43 |
| comicinker | mikethk: what changes? | 23:43 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | just got me a kewl theme for ubuntu :P | 23:43 |
| refefer | hey guys, I run a headless server with 8.10. After a power outage, I've noticed it takes about 30 seconds after you try to ssh in to get a prompt for a password. any idea where the slow down might be? | 23:44 |
| dexi | does anyone know what could be the cause of no sound in a java applet | 23:44 |
| sheena1 | hollywoodb, i installed Win FF, and can run it through wine. i then went through win FF to the plugin page, and downloaded the exe file for shockwave and installed it. but the winFF will not recognize that i have the plug in now. im assuming it needs to be installed into a specific folder r something? | 23:44 |
| mikethk | comicinker: I need to fix my resolution and disable a display | 23:44 |
| hollywoodb | scunizi_: recommend go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and under "Download From:" select other and then click "Select Best Server" | 23:44 |
| kulawend | CoUrPsE|DeAd: So think about what has changed between last time it worked for you and now. Then you'll find your problem. | 23:44 |
| mrwes | sheena1: you can run WinFF without wine | 23:44 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | kuchenhure, Sadly, nothing has changed. | 23:45 |
| sheena1 | mrwes, it just shows up in my Wine Programs folder.. | 23:45 |
| comicinker | mikethk: are you editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 23:45 |
| ziggy | will try using the cd | 23:45 |
| kulawend | CoUrPsE|DeAd: Do other media players work for you? | 23:45 |
| ziggy | might be back later | 23:45 |
| ziggy | I hope I don't need to | 23:45 |
| ziggy | many thanks | 23:45 |
| FloodBot2 | ziggy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:45 |
| mrwes | sheena1 you must have installed the windows version no? | 23:45 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | 'Movie Player' is doing the same, | 23:46 |
| scunizi_ | hollywoodb: been there and done that.. it's not consistantly having issues with the official repo's but the other day the repo for getdeb.net was down for some time.. at least I couldn't access it. Not a biggy..I have patients. :) | 23:46 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Doesnt give me a error, but the timer doesnt even go up;. | 23:46 |
| refefer | any ideas? | 23:46 |
| aleksN^ | When I try to use apt-get, I get an error that says it's unable to fetch som archives and that I should run apt-get update. When I write apt-get update I get a lot of 404 not found, why is that? It is connected to internet, and I haven't been using the server for a while. | 23:46 |
| sheena1 | mres, thus WinFF. i have LinuxFF as well, but it wont play shockwave, so i got the winFF to try and play shockwave. the WinFF doesn't seem to "see" the shockwave plugin that i got, though. thats the problem that brought me here :) | 23:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ZellSF, Are you using ubuntu or eeebuntu | 23:51 |
| Slart | !feisty | aleksN^ | 23:51 |
| ubottu | aleksN^: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. | 23:51 |
| ZellSF | ubuntu | 23:51 |
| ZellSF | all I got was another entry in the hardware drivers list | 23:51 |
| aleksN^ | 7.04 yes | 23:51 |
| Slart | aleksN^: end of life means no more updates and no more repos.. you can still use the archived repos though.. something like archive.ubuntu.com.. not really sure of the exact url | 23:52 |
| Slart | aleksN^: or old.ubuntu.com | 23:52 |
| ZellSF | I tell ubuntu to active that driver | 23:52 |

| jakub_ | hello | 23:53 |
| hollywoodb | aleksN^: for servers you should run a LTS (long term support) release | 23:53 |
| Sorcererbob | exodus_ms: try removing one and restarting the app... you'll find out soon enough | 23:53 |
| scunizi_ | exodus_ms: ~ means your home directory.. so that conf file pertains to your login I think | 23:53 |
| sheena1 | hollywoodb: oh. im afraid i havent the slightest idea how to even do that. is it worth going through to see if that's the problem? is there a link that will walk me through how to do it? | 23:54 |

| exodus_ms | Sorcererbob, scunizi_ I have three colors.conf files in my .xchat2/ one as a ~ and the other as a ~~ next to it | 23:55 |

| hollywoodb | sheena1: you could probably get more help in #winehq, but I guess I would just try seeing if you can uninstall shockwave 11 and install 10.2, since that is reported to work both in that bug and at http://appdb.winehq.org | 23:56 |
| dexi | ooh thats a new one... my sound will only play through a java applet if im not using rhythmbox and vice versa | 23:56 |
| jasper | anyone please? | 23:56 |
| exodus_ms | lumpycam, thank you, so it is safe to rm the files with a tilde if the orginal .conf file is what I want anyway? | 23:56 |
| sheena1 | hollywoodb: thanks. i'll try that. | 23:56 |
| Sorcererbob | exodus_ms: safer to change their name so you can restore them if you need to | 23:56 |
| lumpycam | exodus_ms: in case something goes wrong i would mv those to a safe place. if things work, rm them. | 23:57 |
| exodus_ms | Sorcererbob, cool, thanks for your help | 23:57 |
| comicinker | mortuis99: everything ok? | 23:57 |
| Sorcererbob | np | 23:57 |
| exodus_ms | lumpycam, okay, thank you for your help | 23:57 |
| lumpycam | exodus_ms: the colors.conf is the one that will be used. | 23:57 |
