| scunizi_ | Artelus: why? you could use windows to create a partition just don't format it. Leave it as unpartitined space.. when ubuntu installs it will use that space and actually do another partition, one for install and one for swap | 00:18 |

| savvas | keres: Well, I believe there's no harm done in asking for an ftp account - it will help you stay on 8.04 :) | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis_ | Brawling, kde and gnome both can browse for samba shares.. You coudl always enter the path directly //fileserver/sharename or mount them manually, or from fstab. depending on what youa re doing with them. Its often best to just Mount them to a local directory | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis_ | Brawling, ive had nasty problems with gnome browsing shares. | 00:32 |
| iShock | Dr_willis_: Any gst experience? | 00:32 |
| bobbob1016 | Dr_willis_, So do you know how to do that? I remember it was Display=0.0; mplayer /path/to/file or something, just not sure. I want mplayer displaying on the remote screen. | 00:32 |
| yogi192 | anyone have experience with single board pc and ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis_ | bobbob1016, you want the thing to run ON the remote screen then you may need to export the DISPLAY and use the 'xhost +' command | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | yogi192: single board pc? | 00:33 |
| Brawling | Ok, this is a noobish question, but how would I go about mounting them to a local directory (and, as a recovering windows user, that would be analogous to "mapping a network drive" to a local file on a windows machine?) | 00:33 |
| scunizi_ | anyone know what controls the association between the application that discovers when you plug a camera into the system and opening Fspot? my desktop opens the appelate window asking what application to use for the photos but there is nothing available in the dropdown box. | 00:34 |
| aleksN^ | Is it possible to run 2 different ubuntu versions at the same time, like separated? | 00:34 |
| yogi192 | ActionParsnip, i mean single board computer, like Ampro readyboard 700 | 00:34 |
| rccu | aleksN^: vm | 00:34 |
| PowerEd | some one there had problem with initramfs, on ubuntu 8.10? | 00:34 |
| scunizi_ | aleksN^: yes.. virtual box | 00:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | aleksN^: virtual machine | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis_ | Brawling, the 'samba-doc' package has several books on that topic. and more samba goodness. :) you would either mount them from fstab, or use.. err.. i forget.. smbmnt command I think. :) | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | yogi192: yeah just websearched. I'd see what chips are on them and check the hcl | 00:34 |
| PowerEd | anyone can help here? | 00:34 |
| PowerEd | please | 00:35 |
| bobbob1016 | Dr_willis_, I want mplayer to run on the remote machine, just have my local machine control it. Basically, I want to have my ssh terminal act like it is one on the remote machine. | 00:35 |
| maynards-girl | is there an app similar to iMovie for ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| norcim122 | how do you set networking setting perminently? i need to change MTU | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | aleksN^: its kinda moot as its ubuntu underneath | 00:35 |
| yogi192 | ActionParsnip, hcl, hardware ? ?, sorry | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | aleksN^: you can install the same apps on each *buntu | 00:35 |
| jussi01 | !info openmovieeditor | maynards-girl | 00:35 |

| Dr_willis_ | bobbob1016, last i looked mplayer did have a 'cli' interface.. You could run it remotely, and then controll it from a ssh'd in terminal | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !hcl | yogi192 | 00:35 |
| ubottu | yogi192: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:35 |
| Brawling | Dr, thanks for the info. I'll head over the the samba site and dig through the doc a bit more. (Was over there before, but you sent me in a different direction now.) | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis_ | Brawling, samba-doc is a package you can install :) | 00:35 |
| maynards-girl | thanks jussi01 | 00:35 |
| ZellSF | hmm I can't figure out how to run a shell script | 00:36 |
| yogi192 | ActionParsnip, let me check that page out, thank you | 00:36 |
| norcim122 | how do you set networking setting perminently? i need to change MTU setting? | 00:36 |
| bobbob1016 | Dr_willis_, That is what I'm asking for help with, I remember the code was "Display=0.0; mplayer /path/to/file" or something, just not sure the syntax | 00:36 |
| ziggy1 | how to save your livedisk session? | 00:36 |

| ZellSF | hmm how do I run a shell script | 00:37 |
| jzitt | I'm trying to connect to my dropbox account. It installed and ran fine, but after a reboot (caused by power outage), I can't seem to figure out what to do to connect it up again. Anyone familiar with this, or know of a more appropriate channel? | 00:37 |

| norcim122 | ziggy1: where is your live cd installed | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about script | 00:38 |

| ActionParsnip | norcim122: let me search | 00:38 |
| ziggy1 | my live disk isn't installed | 00:38 |
| ziggy1 | I've got a pavillion dv6000 here and an extern hdd, with a partition I use for ubuntu. I installed ubuntu but forgot to set the grub on that too so the grub is now on the main hdd from the laptop. After that I reinstalled ubuntu with a decent seperate boot partition on the right disk : but its an external one and it won't start but neither does the main intern hdd since it has a grub on it that is linked to an unexisting partition now. What can I do to fi | 00:39 |
| churl | my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? | 00:39 |
| ziggy1 | there is my situation | 00:39 |
| hollywoodb | aleksN^: you can dual-boot, or run one in a virtual machine, but that's about it | 00:39 |
| norcim122 | ActionParsnip: I have tried ipconfig eth0 MTU 1500 but after reboot it goes back | 00:39 |
| yogi192 | ActionParsnip, if i have the drivers for this board, which was labeled for fedora linux, can it be used for ubuntu? | 00:39 |

| PowerEd | any developer on-line? i really like to use ubuntu, but i have not enough time to search and fix troubles of this kind. i sincerely thanks some help. | 00:40 |
| vostro1510 | 1401 is the same? | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | bobbob1016, X security maybe blocking it ', thats why i mentined the 'xhost + localhost' command earlier. | 00:40 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: i have an hp dv8327 that gets a tad bit warm | 00:40 |
| csc_ | i d like to know whether it is possible to install an ubuntu system from the live USB key created with usb-creator | 00:41 |
| Tidus | and had an older dell inspiron 5100 that would burn your leg hairs off | 00:41 |
| aleksN^ | hollywoodb; is it possible to run a program or something that updates the files that need to be updatet for my ubuntu 7.04, or is it a completely new os? | 00:41 |
| vostro1510 | I am thinking about sending it back to Dell. | 00:41 |
| scunizi_ | vostro1510: close.. but I don't seem to have a heating issue unless it's on my lap and I've plugged the bottom intake vents. | 00:41 |
| ziggy1 | nocrim122: pm if you please | 00:41 |
| vostro1510 | To hot | 00:41 |
| evowill__ | csc_: Yes | 00:41 |
| vostro1510 | Mine is to hot. | 00:41 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: if it sits in your lap, try arranging it so the intake vent on the bottom isn't plugged | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | hd is at 53 C | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | no | 00:42 |
| norcim122 | ziggy1: is this a new install? | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | it is on a table. | 00:42 |
| scunizi_ | vostro1510: have you checked dells support site? or ubuntuforms.org | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | metal table. | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | I read a lot | 00:42 |
| aremay2 | vostro 1510: i think that temp is normal | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | Tried with badvista too. | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | but my hands are really felling the heat | 00:42 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: 53c for the hard disk isn't too bad in a laptop... that's about what mine runs at | 00:42 |
| vostro1510 | Uau... | 00:43 |
| kevdog | Anyone here no anything about hotplugging network cards -- udev? | 00:43 |
| aremay2 | mine when running ubuntu a little bit warm than vista | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | but your hand feels the heating? | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | Ubuntu runs great | 00:43 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: not really | 00:43 |
| hollywoodb | aleksN^: I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You can dist-upgrade, but it does require a reboot | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | update to 8.1 from 8.04 | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | using nvidia drivers. | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | works nice | 00:43 |
| bobbob1016 | Dr_willis_, What's the syntax of that? | 00:43 |
| scunizi_ | vostro1510: what do you use to check the temp? | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | well, mine is heat | 00:43 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: mine doesn't really feel the heat... hp got the shielding right on mine | 00:43 |
| kevdog | udev? | 00:43 |
| vostro1510 | well. | 00:44 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: dell has a bad habit of using the keyboard shielding as a heatsink | 00:44 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:44 |
| vostro1510 | my touchpad is warm | 00:44 |
| vostro1510 | hot is better. | 00:44 |
| Tidus | see my trackpad's a bit warm but the keyboard's not | 00:44 |
| jzitt | I wish there were a way to get this stuff to actually work the same way twice in a row. | 00:44 |
| Tidus | the hard disk in mine's mounted directly underneath the trackpad | 00:45 |
| vostro1510 | yes, mine too. | 00:45 |
| issa_ | Hi, is there a program that allows installation of virtual systems (like windows?) I've seen a similar program on windows and mac tha allow using another operating system while logged in to windows or mac, can this be done in ubuntu and have a windows installation be accessed from a single window? | 00:45 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: tell me this. put your hand on the upper left corner of the machine, where the screen meets the body. how warm is it? | 00:45 |
| Letter_Z | Whennever I try to do something viaa the terminal, it tells me that I'm not root, but this is the account I made during the Ubuntu install | 00:45 |
| aremay2 | issa : VMware or virtualbox willl the trick :D | 00:46 |
| savvas | issa_: www.virtualbox.org | 00:46 |
| Letter_Z | Whats up with that? | 00:46 |
| Tidus | Letter_Z: use sudo | 00:46 |
| Letter_Z | I did | 00:46 |
| issa_ | aremay2: savvas are these programs free? | 00:46 |
| Tidus | Letter_Z: sudo <command> | 00:46 |
| vostro1510 | Tidus | 00:46 |
| vostro1510 | just like my touchpad | 00:46 |
| savvas | issa_: no games though, no directx fully supported yet :) | 00:46 |
| Letter_Z | But I'm trying to open port 51412 and sudo wont do it | 00:46 |
| vostro1510 | as warm as | 00:46 |
| jzitt | dropboxd appears to be running, but nautilus isn't noticing it. Do I have to do something to Nautilus to get it to notice? | 00:46 |
| savvas | yes issa_ | 00:46 |
| aremay2 | issa: yes it is | 00:46 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: so the whole body of the machine's warm? | 00:46 |
| chilli0 | Does anyone know how to use at? | 00:46 |
| vostro1510 | no | 00:47 |
| vostro1510 | right side is no hot | 00:47 |
| aleksN^ | hollywoodb; If that is the best and easiest solution I'll do that. Will it delete som data? Will it update my ubuntu to the newest ubuntu? do you got an guide or howto for dist-upgrade? | 00:47 |
| issa_ | savvas: aremay2 can they actually run sound and everything? | 00:47 |
| issa_ | savvas: aremay2 and internet as well? | 00:47 |
| churl | my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? xubuntu 8.10 | 00:47 |
| savvas | I don't about "and everything", but yes to internet and sound issa_ | 00:47 |
| Tidus | aleksN^: in a terminal, run 'sudo update-manager -d' | 00:47 |
| savvas | *don't know | 00:47 |
| aremay2 | issa: Positive | 00:48 |
| Tidus | aleksN^: if you're on 7.04 you're in for a LONG upgrade... 7.04 -> .10 -> 8.04 -> .10 | 00:48 |
| hollywoodb | aleksN^: which version are you running? 7.04? | 00:48 |
| iShock | Anyone used VLC to open a stream from a site? | 00:48 |
| issa_ | savvas: aremay2 : thanks | 00:48 |
| aleksN^ | 7.04, yes | 00:48 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:48 |
| aremay2 | you're welcome issa | 00:48 |
| vostro1510 | vlc using a stream from url | 00:48 |
| hollywoodb | aleksN^: you would want to upgrade to 7.10, then 8.04. You would want to keep 8.04 on your server since that is a LTS release, and will receive updates for a much longer time than a regular release | 00:48 |
| iShock | Anyone used VLC to open a stream from a site? | 00:48 |
| ZellSF | any way to get eeepc hotkeys working? | 00:49 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: so it's just the trackpad and the back-left corner of the machine that gets warm to the touch? | 00:49 |
| aleksN^ | So I just type sudo update-manager -d, and it will update itself to 8.04? | 00:49 |
| vostro1510 | Is there a channel to discuss about notebooks? | 00:49 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:49 |
| vostro1510 | left side | 00:49 |
| vostro1510 | near touchpad | 00:49 |
| Tidus | aleksN^: it'll update to 7.10 first | 00:49 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, have you tried looking at ubuntu-eee | 00:50 |
| Tidus | aleksN^: then 8.04 | 00:50 |
| vostro1510 | up keyboard too | 00:50 |
| ZellSF | tyranos: uh? | 00:50 |
| aleksN^ | without removing my data on the disc? | 00:50 |
| vostro1510 | I mean, left side in the keyboard area is hot too | 00:50 |
| Tidus | aleksN^: i'd have backups, but it's generally safe | 00:50 |
| ZellSF | No I have ubuntu installed atm | 00:50 |
| savvas | aleksN^: it's called upgrade, not format :) | 00:50 |
| sammyF | hey there. Anybody knows why commercial DVDs can't be mounted anymore on my system since I upgraded to intrepid? I'm getting "you're not authorized to mount [whatever]". manually mounting using sudo works, but the cdrom entry has just a very high number as owner and group, and I can't play anything :/ | 00:50 |
| aleksN^ | Thanks a lot hollywoodb and Tidus =) | 00:50 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: it just sounds like dell decided to use the internal shielding as a heatsink | 00:50 |
| ZellSF | I just need to get the volume control working | 00:50 |
| vostro1510 | Uau | 00:51 |
| vostro1510 | it is bad... | 00:51 |
| issa_ | savvas: aremay2: So installing windows can also be directly from virtualbox? And do I have to create a seperate partition? | 00:51 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, i have ubuntu-eee running on my eee it is the same as the nomal version but with only hardware drivers forr eeepc and everything works out of the box | 00:51 |
| vostro1510 | too hot to use | 00:51 |
| vostro1510 | I will talk to them tomorrow (Brasil) | 00:51 |
| vostro1510 | Bought by phone. | 00:51 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: what i normally do with my laptop is i have a couple of rubber pegs mounted to the backside, in the same fashion that a keyboard uses to tilt | 00:51 |
| ZellSF | installing another distrobution isn't an option atm | 00:51 |
| savvas | issa_: no, generally virtual machines create a file which they use as a virtual disk space | 00:51 |
| Letter_Z | Transmission wont download torrents, I checked and port 51412 is closed, I did sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 --dport 51412 -j ACCEPT and it didn't work | 00:52 |
| vostro1510 | Never thought it would be so hot | 00:52 |
| vostro1510 | hummm. | 00:52 |
| vostro1510 | back side is upper. | 00:52 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: it lifts the back end off the table by a couple cm and allows more heat to escape out the back | 00:52 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, well u dont have to , just check www.array.org | 00:52 |
| aleksN^ | savvas; had to be sure ;p | 00:52 |
| vostro1510 | but is it normal? | 00:52 |
| Letter_Z | Is there any way I can fix that? | 00:52 |
| ZellSF | tyfoo2: that page tells me nothing | 00:52 |
| ericrost | when copying to a mounted nfs share through nautilus on ubuntu 8.04.1 the complete file copies, but the dialog hangs at the end for a long time and it gives an error message saying that it failed to close the file, any ideas how to fix? | 00:52 |
| vostro1510 | Man, I feel it hot. | 00:52 |
| vostro1510 | My hands are hot too. | 00:52 |
| savvas | aleksN^: backup backup backup - better safe than sorry! | 00:52 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: a lot of notebook computers have a small degree of tilt to them | 00:52 |
| __MAV | How do I install g++ in ubuntu 8.10 ? | 00:53 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: try my suggestion of putting a couple rubber pegs under the backside just like you would see on a keyboard to tilt it | 00:53 |
| Nox2k3 | Hey I'm trying to get bluetooth audio working with 32-bit wine apps and 64-bit alsa. It seems that most of the alsa modules exist compiled for 32-bits except the bluetooth module: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97945/ | 00:53 |
| vostro1510 | sure | 00:53 |
| vostro1510 | I will try it. | 00:53 |
| vostro1510 | about 2 cms | 00:53 |
| vostro1510 | ok? | 00:53 |
| Nox2k3 | Is there a package somewhere I can install to get a 32-bit version of that module, or am I going to have to compile it myself | 00:53 |
| __MAV | How do I install g++ in ubuntu 8.10 ? | 00:53 |
| Tidus | yeah | 00:53 |
| savvas | vostro1510: do you have the same problem while using other operating systems, say windows? | 00:53 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, read carefully before doing anything , all u have to do is to add that repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then u get another kernel so u wont lose anything | 00:53 |
| jzitt | Trying to figure out how to start a nautilus extension, since it didn't appear to have started automatically. | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:54 |
| issa_ | savvas: so it does not matter what type of partition it is or wether it's used by other files or not, all that is needed are memory and space, correct? | 00:54 |
| sammyF | __MAV, install the build essentials. It should be in there | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | Tried ubuntu, slackware and bad vista | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | bad vista is original. | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | came with machine. | 00:54 |
| ZellSF | well I'd rather just get the package that's supposed to allow the keys to work | 00:54 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: and even with what came with the computer it just gets too hot to use? | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | nvidia gpu is at 55 C | 00:54 |
| sammyF | hey there. Anybody knows why commercial DVDs can't be mounted anymore on my system since I upgraded to intrepid? I'm getting "you're not authorized to mount [whatever]". manually mounting using sudo works, but the cdrom entry has just a very high number as owner and group, and I can't play anything :/ It worked in Hardy :/ | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:54 |
| fosco_ | vostro1510: this is OK | 00:54 |
| __MAV | thank you | 00:54 |
| Nautilus__ | noob Q... from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Virtual%20Hosts I am trying to set the mysql root pw "mysql -u root" and I've tried "sudo mysql -u root" too but I get error 1045 (access denied). what do I need to try | 00:54 |
| vostro1510 | It is my first notebook. | 00:55 |
| vostro1510 | Is it normal to work with hands em wrists hot? | 00:55 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: i would have bought an HP or a lenovo | 00:55 |
| Tidus | mine doesn't get nearly as hot as you are describing | 00:55 |
| sammyF | vostro1510, 55C is actually pretty good, considering you're in brasil and probably not in an AC 'd room | 00:55 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, well each approach should work the other kernel is just optimized for the eee | 00:55 |
| vostro1510 | yes. | 00:55 |
| vostro1510 | Brasil. | 00:55 |
| vostro1510 | NO AC | 00:55 |
| vostro1510 | 29C environment temperature. | 00:56 |
| __MAV | sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 00:56 |
| __MAV | Reading package lists... Done | 00:56 |
| __MAV | Building dependency tree | 00:56 |
| __MAV | Reading state information... Done | 00:56 |

| FloodBot2 | __MAV: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:56 |
| Tidus | __MAV: it's build-essential, not build-essentials | 00:56 |
| vostro1510 | if i put charge in Nvdia, it goes to 70-80C | 00:56 |
| __MAV | Tidus thank you | 00:56 |
| ZellSF | well each approach *should* work, but installing eeepc-acpi-scripts just gives an error | 00:56 |
| sammyF | vostro1510, West Indies here. When my comp was in a non AC'd room, 55C was "idle" tem | 00:56 |
| sammyF | temp | 00:56 |
| __MAV | yeeeeeeeee | 00:56 |
| savvas | issa_: well.. correct, and to install the virtualbox additions :) which is easy if you use windows as guest operating system (the o/s you are going to virtualise) | 00:56 |
| Tidus | sammyF: 55C is full load temp on my lappy, lol | 00:57 |
| __MAV | It's working | 00:57 |
| vostro1510 | 55C in what Tidus? | 00:57 |
| vostro1510 | GPU? | 00:57 |
| yaro_ | Is there a place I can get help with Sugar? | 00:57 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: CPU and gpu | 00:57 |
| sammyF | Tidus, yeah ... I was thinking about overclocking the CPU and GPU, and gave up when I saw the idle temperatures ;) | 00:57 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, just read carefully you ll find out y | 00:57 |
| vostro1510 | My CPU joes goes to 55 if I really put a lot of job. | 00:57 |
| vostro1510 | normally it is at 35-45 | 00:57 |
| savvas | vostro1510: a suggestion: take it back and complain to the support about the hardware being too hot? :) | 00:58 |
| ZellSF | tyranos: I read carefully searched for it and ended up on the ubuntu bug tracker | 00:58 |
| Tidus | sammyF: mine's a core 2 duo T5500, 34W power dissipation. HP decided to mount the cpu and gpu under the same heatsink on mine | 00:58 |
| sammyF | Tidus, niiiiiiice ;) | 00:58 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: those temps aren't too bad... just sounds like the hard disk is transmitting too much heat through the keyboard | 00:58 |
| vostro1510 | vostro 1510 use just one heat sink too | 00:58 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 00:58 |
| vostro1510 | I think it too. | 00:58 |
| sammyF | hey there. Anybody knows why commercial DVDs can't be mounted anymore on my system since I upgraded to intrepid? I'm getting "you're not authorized to mount [whatever]". manually mounting using sudo works, but the cdrom entry has just a very high number as owner and group, and I can't play anything :/ It worked in Hardy :/ | 00:58 |
| ZellSF | oh wait it's the ubuntu-eee bugtracker | 00:58 |
| Tidus | sammyF: pulled it off and put arctic silver 5 on the cpu and gpu... haven't looked back | 00:59 |
| vostro1510 | I will complain to Dell (try at least. Law here is not to effective like it should) | 00:59 |
| vostro1510 | I will say that I need a notebook, not an oven | 00:59 |
| rellik_ | anyone know how to get amarok to recognize an ipod? The ipod is listed in 'lshal', and I can see the ipod in 'gtkpod'.. but amarok won't autodetect it.. and when I manually add it to amarok, it can't connect to it | 00:59 |
| savvas | vostro1510: if you have guarantee, then use it. it goes for hardware parts I think | 01:00 |
| vostro1510 | Yes | 01:00 |
| sammyF | Tidus, got a noctua cooler and paste on my Q6600 ... but I can still get it to 75C in no time if I start some stresstest ;) | 01:00 |
| vostro1510 | I have. | 01:00 |
| ZellSF | http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/eeepc-acpi-scripts | 01:00 |
| vostro1510 | And I will use it. | 01:00 |
| vostro1510 | Or try. :-) | 01:00 |
| churl | my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? | 01:00 |
| ZellSF | how am I supposed to install then when acpi-support-base isn't available? | 01:00 |
| vostro1510 | If nothing helps, I buy a keyboard and everything will be cool :-) | 01:00 |
| === zelda_afk is now known as zelda | ||
| sammyF | I suppose nobody got any idea about my DVD mounting problem ten? | 01:00 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: one thing you might end up having to do is getting one of those cooling pads for your notebook, the kind with a fan on the bottom to force cold air over the bottom of the notebook | 01:00 |
| ericrost | any ideas why an nfs share would be hanging forever on a file move? | 01:00 |
| vostro1510 | Just like you said, temperatures appears to be ok. | 01:00 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, you have to add the repository to your sources.list | 01:01 |
| ericrost | mv moves the first file then just sits there | 01:01 |
| ZellSF | tyranos: WHAT repository? | 01:01 |
| Tidus | sammyF: could be libdvdcss went out of date | 01:01 |
| vostro1510 | yes | 01:01 |
| Tidus | sammyF: you'll need to update your medibuntu repo if it's enabled to point to intrepid instead of hardy | 01:01 |
| vostro1510 | I thought about the coolers to | 01:01 |
| vostro1510 | Man, Ubuntu community is friendly than Slackware one. :-( | 01:02 |
| vostro1510 | I am a newbie to ubuntu. | 01:02 |
| vostro1510 | :-) | 01:02 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: everybody starts somewhere :) | 01:02 |
| thiebaude | vostro1510: welcome | 01:02 |
| vostro1510 | But it is running quiet well in this Vostro. :-) | 01:02 |
| sammyF | Tidus, so use libdvdcss from hardy instead? | 01:02 |
| vostro1510 | So, | 01:02 |
| Tidus | sammyF: no, the medibuntu repository for intrepid has it too | 01:02 |
| vostro1510 | can I say notebook are really hot? | 01:03 |
| Tidus | sammyF: check your sources.list and see if it's pointing the right direction | 01:03 |
| vostro1510 | WIll I have to be acostumated with this hot in my hands? | 01:03 |
| vostro1510 | I update today. | 01:03 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-hardy.html | 01:03 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: mine doesn't get that warm, and if you get one of those cooling pads, it should reduce the amount of heat you're feeling | 01:03 |
| ziggy | nocrim122: I"m back | 01:03 |
| br0ken1 | the gentoo community are probably the meanest lol | 01:03 |
| vostro1510 | I am surprised, because the process worked great. From 8.04 to 8.01 | 01:03 |
| sammyF | Tidus, k. thanks. (next problem is that I just moved and I don't have any internet access on my main comp at the moment ... but I'm afraid nobody but my ISP can help with that ;) | 01:03 |
| sammyF | Tidus, thanks :) | 01:04 |
| Tidus | br0ken1: not when i'm in there :) | 01:04 |
| br0ken1 | i went to a gentoo help channel about 2 weeks ago and they were flat out rude | 01:04 |
| ZellSF | tyranos: told you I would rather not do that. | 01:04 |
| vostro1510 | I just discoreved that GRUB killed the Dell diagnostics ... :-) | 01:04 |
| br0ken1 | i mean i'd take the blame if i did something that could have been taken the wrong way, but this time i didn;t | 01:05 |
| sammyF | br0ken1, come on ... "RTFM n00b!" is a pretty friendly advice in some channels ;) | 01:05 |
| br0ken1 | called me dumb for buying a USB dvd burner (which isn't smart, but it was just a temp fix) | 01:05 |
| jzitt | OK, confirmed that the right files are in /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0 . It seems just to be ignoring them. | 01:05 |
| br0ken1 | lol | 01:05 |
| jensor | I would appreciate help setting up file sharing - it used to work one way but not the other . Now it won't work at all. | 01:05 |
| Tidus | sammyF: i've only seen that spouted off in #debian | 01:05 |
| sammyF | Tidus, I was trying to avoid actually naming people ;) | 01:05 |
| br0ken1 | gentoo has like an extra built-in n00b filter... installation | 01:06 |
| br0ken1 | it's not as hard as some think, but it's definately harder than ubuntu | 01:06 |
| Tidus | br0ken1: nothing wrong with a usb dvd burner... i have one attached to my notebook to enable direct disc-to-disc copies | 01:06 |
| sammyF | br0ken1, well .. Ubuntu is linux for lazy people. On the other hand, personally I don't see any problem with being lazy | 01:06 |
| br0ken1 | well the internal died on a comp i had, and i was in the process of buying a new one so i bought a $75 USB one for the meantime | 01:06 |
| Tidus | plus it's faster than the built-in one | 01:06 |
| br0ken1 | lol me either | 01:07 |
| br0ken1 | i'm the laziest person ever | 01:07 |
| jzitt | (Testing... is anyone seeing my messages here?) | 01:07 |
| tyranos | ZellSF, sry didnt try normal ubuntu on my eee | 01:07 |
| sammyF | jzitt, no? | 01:07 |
| br0ken1 | so sammyF and Tidus, do u guys work in IT? | 01:07 |
| vostro1510 | I am using Slackwar for a long time. | 01:08 |
| vostro1510 | I am using Ubuntu too. | 01:08 |
| sammyF | br0ken1, used to. currently working in the unemployed field ;) | 01:08 |
| churl | my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? | 01:08 |
| jzitt | sammyF: Thanks. I'd been posting for half an hour with no response, so thought I might not be getting through. I *think* I have a straightforwrd question. | 01:08 |
| br0ken1 | that fields fun as long as it's not for too long | 01:08 |
| vostro1510 | I like to have ready packets sometimes! | 01:08 |

| dexi | does anyone happen to know if its possible to make use of my extra mouse buttons (4 and 5) by customizing them to a keyboard sequence | 01:14 |

| ZellSF | so I tried installing the eeepc kernel since I really had no options, I still can't get the hotkey for disabling wireless to work | 01:16 |
| ZellSF | so other than the bios , how do i disable wireless? | 01:16 |
| gopp | hi when I try to join the domain I get "ads_connect: No logon servers" | 01:17 |
| dexi | ZellSF: pull wireless card out! :D | 01:17 |
| ZellSF | it's not a card you can pull out without a lot of wokr | 01:17 |

| norcim122 | how do you set networking setting perminently? i need to change MTU setting? | 01:17 |
| ZellSF | as said I can't actually change distrobution | 01:17 |
| norcim122 | anyone | 01:18 |
| dexi | oh! does anyone know if its possible to dock pidgin to the side, so that things dont expand behind it? | 01:18 |
| hspaans | norcim122: setting mtu-setting shouldn't be needed nowadays | 01:19 |
| ZellSF | also is it possible to disable clicking on the touchpad itself creating a left click? | 01:19 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: I need it | 01:21 |
| norcim122 | my default is 561 | 01:21 |
| norcim122 | need it to be 1500 | 01:21 |
| dexi | I just downloading kubuntu-desktop, and its telling me that i need to decide between gdm and kdm, does it make a big difference? | 01:21 |

| Tekno | sound | 01:22 |
| hspaans | norcim122: you're running a firewall somewhere or changed other settings? | 01:23 |
| nak | dexi: Being as you're using KDE, you would find kdm more fitting for your needs. There isn't a substancial difference, apart from the number and sorts of packages you require; with GDM you need gnome/gtk libraries, with kdm you need k/qt libraries, which you probably already possess. | 01:23 |
| nak | dexi: With kubuntu-desktop, you already have kdm. | 01:24 |
| Hashishanin | If you've just run a program in linux and you want to know the exit status what can you type? | 01:24 |

| vostro1510 | what user are youusing | 01:28 |
| vostro1510 | ? | 01:28 |

| vostro1510 | And I just put my pendrive and use it. | 01:28 |
| nak | vostro1510: Please refrain from using `\n' where unneccessary. | 01:28 |

| Johnramb00 | Gnea: Isn't it possible to switch in the cable and start from usb-device? I need USB for my eee pc :( | 01:28 |
| norcim122 | sebastian use sudo mkdir /media/usbdrive then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive | 01:29 |
| vostro1510 | sorry nak? | 01:29 |
| sebastian | vostro1510: im the onlly user | 01:29 |

| norcim122 | hspaans: do you have alot in your interfaces file? | 01:31 |
| dexi | nak: i did the thing you told me "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" | 01:31 |
| dexi | and thats what i got | 01:31 |
| hspaans | norcim122: no, because its not needed | 01:31 |

| maco | nak: what shouting? | 01:32 |
| hspaans | norcim122: skip the firewall thingie and reboot to make sure you're machine is clean | 01:32 |
| yoyit2 | maco: yeah i kinda got that, hence the ** | 01:32 |
| dexi | nak: well i had the window after doing apt-get install kubuntu-desktop asking me to choose gdm or kdm, and i never chose, and now i dont see the window anymore, so i assume the process that it had locked it still locked, and by restarting it will not be locked anymore | 01:32 |
| norcim122 | yoyit2: did you try to use add/remove to reinstall? | 01:32 |
| sebastian | norcim122: thx, but i had to force mount it, but it workes, thx a lot | 01:32 |
| maco | yoyit2: lowercase though, not capital G. the terminal is case-sensitive | 01:32 |

| Tekno | hello. I installed openbox and now I dont have any sound at all ? and user is in audio group. what could be wrong ? | 01:35 |
| norcim122 | ok | 01:35 |
| Gnea | norcim122: one time isn't anything to worry about, it's when it turns into continuous, multiple attempts... that's a problem. | 01:36 |
| eseven73 | Tekno>> do sounds work ok if you use Gnome? | 01:36 |
| Tekno | i dont have gnome | 01:36 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: how will i know without a firewall to tell me? | 01:36 |
| yoyit2 | ok, and now every time i try to uninstall anything, add/remove just freezes! | 01:36 |
| Y-Town | Gnea: thanx i will work with that | 01:36 |
| yoyit2 | anyone know how to fix that? | 01:36 |
| Tekno | eseven73: i have openbox and lxde | 01:36 |
| hspaans | norcim122: and your question is? | 01:37 |
| Gnea | Y-Town: #samba is also a very good resource | 01:37 |
| eseven73 | Tekno>> try #openbox | 01:37 |
| Gnea | Tekno: perhaps pulseaudio isn't setup correctly | 01:37 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: you say dont worry but without the firewall giving me warning i would now know | 01:37 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: so you have no firewall running? | 01:37 |
| Tekno | Gnea: i didnt have pulseaudio before | 01:37 |
| Gnea | Tekno: do you have it now? | 01:38 |
| Tekno | eseven73: where is that channel ? | 01:38 |
| Tekno | Gnea: no | 01:38 |
| yoyit2 | does anyone know how to get add/remove to stop freezing when i try to uninstall?? | 01:38 |
| Gnea | Tekno: what apps aren't giving sound? | 01:38 |
| Y-Town | Gnea: I can see the ubuntu system on the win xp box just cant access it. Any idea of where im needing to fix it at? | 01:38 |
| Tekno | Gnea: none | 01:38 |
| geeksquad | i have a dell xps m1530 and in totem it wont play movies the error is "unable to read from resource | 01:38 |

| eseven73 | ummm #openbox has 3 people lol, scratch that Tekno | 01:38 |
| Gnea | Tekno: what apps did give sound? | 01:38 |
| hspaans | norcim122: when they warn you, but you don't do anything with it then its pointless | 01:38 |
| vostro1510 | Well | 01:39 |
| vostro1510 | Have to go | 01:39 |
| Tekno | Gnea: every application | 01:39 |
| Gnea | Y-Town: yeah, install SWAT and configure some shares and users | 01:39 |
| vostro1510 | You channel is great | 01:39 |
| Gnea | Tekno: that's too vague, you'll need to be more specific, please. | 01:39 |
| Y-Town | gnea thanks | 01:39 |
| hspaans | norcim122: host firewalls? no | 01:39 |
| vostro1510 | Friendly people. Just great and it is a signal that explains why Ubuntu is growing up. | 01:39 |
| vostro1510 | Tks for your attention. | 01:39 |
| geeksquad | please check my last post i am desprate to watch movies | 01:40 |
| Tekno | Gnea: now none of the application give sound, before i was using lxde and audio worked with every app | 01:40 |
| eseven73 | vostro1510>> yep its not the OS, its the community that makes Ubuntu great, theres tons of OS's out there that are almost identical to Ubuntu, but they dont have the community. | 01:40 |
| Gnea | Tekno: never used lxde | 01:40 |
| Tekno | and i have cranked volume up | 01:40 |
| geeksquad | Tekno then get rid of it | 01:40 |
| Gnea | Tekno: what sound-related apps are you trying to use? | 01:40 |
| Tekno | i dont want to get rid of openbox, this is great | 01:40 |
| yoyit2 | does anyone know how to successfully uninstall on add/remove? | 01:40 |
| Tekno | Gnea: vlc, youtube etc | 01:41 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: I just like to know "most" of what is going on thats all... If I get warning I can just turn off the modem. | 01:41 |
| Gnea | Tekno: I'm not aware of a sound app called 'etc' | 01:41 |
| Gnea | and youtube is not an app, it is a website. | 01:41 |
| Tekno | Gnea: well i dont have application which gives sound | 01:41 |
| Tekno | every of them are broken | 01:41 |
| Tekno | insted of sound i get nothing | 01:42 |
| Gnea | Tekno: can you still open a terminal? | 01:42 |
| yoyit2 | does ANYONE know how to get add/remove to uninstall? | 01:42 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: what do use for protection? Do you install and just let it be? | 01:42 |
| Tekno | Gnea: yes | 01:42 |
| hspaans | norcim122: is you don't have any services publicly (or restricted to localhost) running then its pointless. read this is default install of ubuntu | 01:42 |
| Gnea | Tekno: and are the speakers builtin or plugged in? | 01:42 |
| Tekno | builtin | 01:42 |
| Gnea | laptop? | 01:42 |
| Tekno | yes | 01:42 |
| Tekno | eeepc 900 | 01:42 |

| mrwes | lahori try installing gnome alsa mixer | 01:43 |
| yoyit2 | geeksquad: yeah, i know, but mine just freezes for hours | 01:43 |
| lahori | mrwes: that's the one i have | 01:44 |
| yoyit2 | geeksquad: any ideas?? | 01:44 |
| mrwes | lahori and the sliders are turned up on it? | 01:44 |
| Gnea | aleksN^: can you do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:44 |
| geeksquad | u know the little check box | 01:44 |
| Tekno | * Setting up ALSA... [ OK ] | 01:44 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: from the link you gave me. can I just copy paste all the example to my file? or do I need to change anything for eth0? | 01:44 |

| lahori | mrwes: every single slider, up on top! | 01:44 |
| Gnea | Tekno: yeah, you'll need to ask in #ubuntu-eeepc | 01:44 |
| aleksN^ | Gnea; no, thats why I want to update ^^ | 01:44 |
| Squideshi | Can someone help me understand how video drivers work in Ubuntu 8.10? | 01:45 |
| raylu | Squideshi: heh. i don't think anyone does :P | 01:45 |
| Gnea | aleksN^: you can't open a terminal? | 01:45 |

| aleksN^ | Running as we speak | 01:46 |
| hspaans | norcim122: I didn't gave you a link | 01:46 |
| geeksquad | use sudo apt-get remove (packages) in a terminal | 01:46 |
| Gnea | aleksN^: k, when it's done, try to run the update-manager again and see if the problem persists | 01:46 |
| aleksN^ | Will do =) | 01:46 |
| Squideshi | raylu: I just mean the basics--like how the packages are named and how to tell which driver is being used by looking at Xorg.0.log. | 01:46 |
| mrwes | lahori that's weird....have you goggle it? | 01:46 |
| Dexi | Ok i managed to get KDE up. Its snazzy. | 01:46 |
| Dexi | My mouse sensitivity is through the roof, | 01:46 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: this one http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/mtu.htm | 01:46 |
| raylu | Squideshi: you can tell which driver is being used by looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf. if you happen to know the names of the modules, you can look for them in the log to see if they're loaded | 01:47 |
| lahori | mrwes: not yet, not sure what to search for | 01:47 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: oh never mind | 01:47 |
| raylu | Squideshi: the nvidia packages are named nvidia-glx-### for the corresponding nvidia build | 01:47 |
| canthus13 | How do you get the size of a single directory and it's contents from the command line? | 01:47 |
| Squideshi | raylu: No driver is specified in xorg.conf. It's my understanding that xorg now atodetects. | 01:47 |
| raylu | Squideshi: and the nvidia kernel module package has a similar name. though there is a meta package for both nvidia and ati drivers that depends on the latest one | 01:47 |
| norcim122 | hspaans: where are the network defaults located? | 01:47 |
| ziggyH | hi all | 01:47 |
| ziggyH | back again =( | 01:48 |
| raylu | Squideshi: oh, if you have no xorg.conf, X will use the free driver | 01:48 |
| geeksquad | please help me guys my laptop will not play dvds | 01:48 |
| hspaans | norcim122: in vmlinuz | 01:48 |

| yoyit2 | does anyone know how to fix virtual box with message "callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154) | 01:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Squideshi: grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see the video driver all alone.... glxinfo | grep direct .....to see if you have direct rending infrastructure(dri) enabled | 01:49 |

| Gnea | yoyit2: you may wish to present your problem to the #vbox channel for more detailed help | 01:51 |
| Tekno | does anyone have time to help in problem related to sound :? | 01:51 |
| Gnea | Tekno: I *told* you, you need to ask in #ubuntu-eeepc, your problem is too EEEpc specific | 01:52 |
| Tekno | no its not | 01:52 |
| Gnea | yes, it is. | 01:52 |
| Tekno | its general problem | 01:52 |
| Cameron` | hi, my sound stops working after some time. A reboot fixes it, but that's really annoying. Is there any way to restart the sound system ? | 01:52 |
| Tekno | not eeepc hardware related | 01:52 |
| Gnea | there's a version of ubuntu for the eeepc, that's the version you should be using. | 01:53 |
| Tekno | Gnea: Then i dont get support from there | 01:53 |
| Gnea | Tekno: sometimes they are slow, you need to be patient. | 01:53 |
| Squideshi | onetinsoldier: I've looked through the log, but none of the package names seem to appear in the file. How do you match the driver name with the package name? | 01:54 |
| yoyit2 | how do i expand the file "root.disk" to more then 8.4GBs?? | 01:54 |
| Cameron` | hi, my sound stops working after some time. A reboot fixes it, but that's really annoying. Is there any way to restart the sound system ? | 01:54 |

| hspaans | Cameron`: you're using 8.10? | 01:54 |
| Cameron` | hspaans: yep | 01:55 |
| yoyit2 | ubottu: Gnea: k i installed ubuntu thru vista, then deleted vista, and now i only have 8.4GBs on root.disk... how do i make it bigger? | 01:55 |

| === jake_ is now known as Epidemik | ||
| Gnea | yoyit2: what is root.disk? /? | 01:56 |
| hspaans | Cameron`: most likely pulseaudio goes fubar, restarting the application (like totem or rhythmbox) after say 30 seconds and it should work again | 01:56 |

| Dante123 | hi, my kids was playing game under wine....and screwed up the screen. Now lcd monitor says input not supported....how can I change/fix the resolution?? | 01:57 |
| Treehugger | how do you install ATI drivers using terminal? | 01:57 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: so, by 'installed thru vista', you mean you used wubi? | 01:57 |
| Cameron` | hspaans: its totem that I am using. I'll try waiting a minute - but I am sure I have tried that before | 01:57 |
| yoyit2 | Gnea: sure | 01:57 |
| Roger_ | Dantel123, relog | 01:58 |
| Dante123 | rebooting and going into recovery console gets me screen back, but nvidia graphics driver is not running...and upon reboot back to same input not supported error | 01:58 |
| Roger_ | wine does that to me to sometimes | 01:58 |
| hspaans | Cameron`: it works is most cases, hopefully its fixed in 9.04 or you need to go back to 8.04 :( | 01:58 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: not a good move. when you install via wubi, you're installing to a filesystem contained within a file on vista's filesystem. by getting rid of vista, you have now trapped your ubuntu installation. | 01:58 |
| Dante123 | Roger_ relog....did that ....no help | 01:58 |
| Roger_ | sorry then | 01:59 |
| Cameron` | hspaans: I wasn't even running totem before it happened.. but when I start totem it has no sound. if I run totem when I first boot, it works fine, but I then close totem, surf the web or do some work for a while, then totem has no sound | 01:59 |
| Dante123 | get same error | 01:59 |
| Dante123 | anyone??? | 01:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Squideshi: ok, this is how i would go about finding out, since, as you said, the filenames don't exactly match package names... locate intel_drv.so && dpkg -S /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so -->xserver-xorg-video-intel | 01:59 |
| === Cameron` is now known as Cameron | ||
| yoyit2 | Gnea: but is there now ANY way to expand it to the entire hdd, rather then just 8.4GBs?? | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, What nvidia card | 01:59 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: if vista was installed, sure | 01:59 |
| hspaans | Cameron`: when you do `id -a` do you see a group called audio? | 01:59 |
| Dante123 | 7300 gs | 02:00 |
| Cameron | nope | 02:00 |
| Treehugger | how do you install ATI drivers? | 02:00 |
| Cameron | hspaans: nope | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | do you get low res in the desktop | 02:00 |
| Dante123 | everything worked fine...until the kid was playing that game | 02:00 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: if you've got an ubuntu cd, you can install that | 02:00 |
| hspaans | Cameron: may yourself member of that group and login again | 02:00 |
| hspaans | Cameron: s/may/make/ | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, Playig a game under wine.. | 02:00 |
| yoyit2 | Gnea: ok, but would i have to REINSTALL ubuntu? or could i just edit the file "root.disk"?? | 02:01 |
| Gnea | Jack_Sparrow: his system is now barfing at graphics initialization on bootup of ubuntu. | 02:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gnea, thanks | 02:01 |
| Dante123 | Jack_Sparrow yes, he was playing game...and I dont know what he did...but the screen went black....I think it is a resolution thing...because all is fine in recover mode....BUT that means nvidia driver not running..... | 02:01 |
| hspaans | Cameron: you know how to make yourself member of a group? | 02:01 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: yeah, reinstall, from the ground-up. | 02:01 |
| Cameron | hspaans: yeah | 02:02 |
| onetinsoldier | Treehugger: i can probably help you out. fist you should get a fully filled out /etc/x11/xorg.conf file if you don't have one. pastebin it if you want me to take a look at it. instructions on how to make a full xorg.conf file are here ---> http://pastebin.com/m4455f5b4 | 02:02 |

| onetinsoldier | s/fist/sirst | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, care to try a few things with me | 02:02 |
| Cameron | hspaans: the strange thing is if I cat /etc/group it shows my username | 02:02 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: i know, vista surely is. | 02:02 |
| Dante123 | no prob. Jack_Sparrow | 02:02 |
| Cameron | hspaans: the strange thing is if I cat /etc/group it shows my username in the audio group | 02:02 |
| hspaans | Cameron: where? | 02:02 |
| hspaans | Cameron: but not when you do id -a? | 02:02 |

| iShock | Hi cameron | 02:03 |
| yoyit2 | Gnea: is there any way to Copy/paste all the drivers and programs from the ubuntu im using now, to the one i reinstall? | 02:03 |
| hspaans | Cameron: in a terminal btw | 02:03 |
| Cameron | yeah | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, can you get to a terminal | 02:03 |
| iShock | Cameron: Hi dere | 02:03 |
| Dante123 | Jack_Sparrow do you think I should disable nivida driver....then redo it | 02:03 |
| Cameron | hspaans: yeah - I'm a long time linux user :) | 02:03 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: i'm not sure... you'd have to load up the livecd and see if it finds it or not | 02:03 |
| Dante123 | I am booted into recover mode right now Jack_Sparrow | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, fine | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, lets try sudo nvidia-xconfig | 02:03 |
| yoyit2 | Gnea: arg! | 02:04 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, I use the nvidia driver prior to -77 | 02:05 |
| Gnea | yoyit2: realistically speaking, at this conjuncture, your only recourse is to backup any important file you have on your ubuntu installation to a USB drive or CD, then just do a flat-out reinstall of ubuntu from CD or DVD. | 02:05 |
| yoyit2 | Jack_Sparrow: ok, your not having your entire computer REINSTALLED EVERY 2 WEEKS WITH VISTA PROBLEM, THEN GET UBUNTU TO WORK ONLY TO FIND YOU HAVE TO REINSTALL AGAIN!! | 02:06 |

| Gnea | !sound | Cameron | 02:11 |
| ubottu | Cameron: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:11 |

| Sorcererbob | Fresh install of 64bit Ubuntu. Running the proprietry nvidia drivers (177) with Twinview enabled on two identical monitors.

It slides to the sides. I want the two screens to be | 02:26 |

| aleksN^ | 7.04 | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hissing_sunhat, does ctrl-alt-F1 bring you to text mode | 02:34 |
| hissing_sunhat | no i tried that | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !feisty | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. | 02:34 |
| Gnea | aleksN^: yeah, try rebooting and see if it actually upgraded or not | 02:34 |
| aleksN^ | Okey | 02:35 |
| Gnea | !eol | 02:35 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 02:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hissing_sunhat, if you cant get into recovery mode and ctrlaltF1 wont bring up a term, I would boot a live cd and save my /home | 02:35 |
| hissing_sunhat | hm ok | 02:35 |
| gaintsura | anyone know if 8.04 will run on a P1 ? | 02:36 |
| hissing_sunhat | was trying to avoid that, but thanks for your help | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | xm89: you can try following these instructions if you like 'How to reset your xorg.conf ' --> http://pastebin.com/m4455f5b4 ..if you still have problem, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file so we can have a look at it. | 02:36 |
| kevix | I folks. I'm running hardy for a while. recently I had my root fillup. and on reboot, i get 'overflow' on tmpfs and problems running apps that use TMPFS=/tmp. Any ideas? | 02:36 |
| fosco_ | gaintsura: yes | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gnea, Did he change his sources to old-releases before trying to upgrade | 02:36 |
| stinger05 | Gnea: sorry to bother you again, i was just curious about the fact if games that run under wine are playable with LAN | 02:36 |
| Gnea | Jack_Sparrow: no idea | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kevbuntu, boot a live cd and purge /var/cache/apt/archives | 02:36 |
| Dante1231 | Jack_Sparrow sorry, had a phone call. I have the system rebooted and working, however under the nvidia settings gui it thinks my acer 19 widescreen is a CRT. And gives me less resolution choices than before. How can I fix that? | 02:37 |
| Gnea | stinger05: linux is, by nature, a networkable Operating System. Therefore, yes. | 02:37 |
| johnflux | is it possible to do PPOE over wireless? :-) | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kevbuntu, you can also save stuff you want to keep to a usb stick | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dante one sec.. | 02:38 |
| aleksN^ | Gnea; the system is rebooted, but I still get the same error when typing update-manager -d | 02:38 |
| Gnea | johnflux: that would be a good networking question, best asked in #networking ;) | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, sudo nvidia-xconfig from a terminal then sudo nvidia-settings | 02:39 |
| hissing_sunhat | Jack_Sparrow, do you mean to save my home on a separate drive and do a fresh install? | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, let me know what erros you get | 02:39 |
| The_Rebel | i think you guys missunderstand me | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hissing_sunhat, yep | 02:39 |
| The_Rebel | when i do apt-get install freenx it has a ton of suggested packages it wants to install with everything else | 02:39 |
| Gnea | aleksN^: okay, apparently there's something that has to do with old-releases that we need to figure out | 02:40 |
| The_Rebel | how do i tell apt not to install all that other stuff | 02:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Rebel, rephrase your question, the answers you have received are right for your question | 02:40 |
| ziggyH | hi all | 02:40 |
| Gnea | The_Rebel: but it doesn't install 'suggested' packages | 02:40 |
| Gnea | ...that's why they're suggested. :) | 02:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Rebel, You mean the dependencies.. if you dont install them, your program wont run | 02:40 |
| The_Rebel | oh i thought it did | 02:40 |
| The_Rebel | thanks Gnea | 02:40 |
| papna | Hi ziggyH. Welcome. =) | 02:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gnea, you need the link for old-releases? | 02:41 |
| papna | !ask | ziggyH | 02:41 |
| ubottu | ziggyH: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:41 |
| Gnea | Jack_Sparrow: please | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | one sec | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gnea, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 02:41 |
| mustache | ok? | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dinner is here bbl | 02:42 |
| Sorcererbob | so yes, trying the "Two Separate X Sessions" option was an epic fail | 02:42 |
| jake123 | !GTK | 02:44 |
| ubottu | GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI | 02:44 |
| Sorcererbob | so the cube works fine when I only have one screen | 02:44 |
| Sorcererbob | when I enable the second screen (twinview) the cube becomes an octagon and each octagon (one on each screen) has every desktop | 02:44 |
| Gnea | aleksN^: check this out: http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/111092-upgrading-old-releases.html | 02:44 |
| Lymies | I was on a website, blogtv, where you can watch webcams, and when I closed the window it made this skipping sound that wouldn't go away, so I closed firefox, then I logged out and it kept doing that, then I did /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop, and when I shut down alsa of course it stopped, but when I turned it back on it was back again, so I just restarted. Now I don't have any sound. | 02:45 |
| jake123 | how do i install a GTK theme that I downloaded from gnomelook.org | 02:45 |
| progre55 | hi everybody! | 02:45 |
| Sorcererbob | how do I stop this weird cube behaviour? | 02:45 |
| bbechdol | Hello everyone | 02:45 |
| onetinsoldier | !howdy | progre55 | 02:45 |
| ubottu | progre55: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:45 |
| Gnea | Sorcererbob: what weird cube behavior? | 02:45 |
| onetinsoldier | !howdy | bbechdol | 02:45 |
| ubottu | bbechdol: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:45 |
| |ntegra| | aaroncampbell: | 02:46 |
| progre55 | my dmesg has been showing some exceptions as "[16664.696695] __ratelimit: 107 callbacks suppressed" and "[16664.696710] not enough headroom [12] for radiotap head [25]". what would that mean? | 02:46 |
| |ntegra| | I KNOW an aaroncampbell | 02:46 |
| bbechdol | I was curious | 02:46 |
| Gnea | |ntegra|: and? | 02:46 |
| bbechdol | I Love Ubuntu and I want to do something to give back to everyone that has helped me | 02:46 |
| Sorcererbob | Gnea: it works fine when I have a single screen; it has 4 sides and is wonderful. When I enable my second screen (using twinview via Nvidia drivers) each screen shows a "cube", which is fine, the problem is that the "cube" is actually an octagon. The octagon has all 4 of the desktops from each screen. | 02:47 |
| bbechdol | I am not sure whicih way to go | 02:47 |
| progre55 | bbechdol, you could help me :) | 02:47 |
| Gnea | bbechdol: you can idle in here and help other newbies out :) | 02:47 |

| bbechdol | @ubottu thanks ill check it out | 02:48 |
| bbechdol | I was almost thinking about offering help in ubuntu-motu or ubuntu-devel | 02:48 |
| Gnea | Sorcererbob: right, you've got 4 virtual desktops on both screens, thus giving you 8 altogether, and thus, an octogon. | 02:48 |
| bbechdol | but I have never programmed befor :) | 02:48 |
| andres_ | hi | 02:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbechdol, HElp in any area is always appreciated by all | 02:48 |
| johnflux | on packages.ubuntu.com, it would be nice if it was possible to download a package and all of its dependencies as a single .tar.gz file | 02:48 |
| Sorcererbob | Gnea: no. I have 4 virtual desktops total | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnflux, That isnt going to happen | 02:49 |
| Sorcererbob | Gnea: each virtual desktop spans both screens | 02:49 |
| johnflux | Jack_Sparrow: why not? I was thinking that it could use the LSB to know what to include | 02:49 |
| === ShockUBT is now known as Staticshock | ||
| Gnea | Sorcererbob: but you have 8 - the cube interprets each 'real' screen as 1 | 02:49 |
| johnflux | Jack_Sparrow: e.g. so it doesnt include glibc packages etc | 02:49 |
| bbechdol | bjb | 02:49 |

| Sorcererbob | I'll join the compiz channel. Thank you | 02:50 |
| Gnea | Sorcererbob: I would highly consider the #compiz-fusion room for better details on it | 02:50 |

| LaBlua | I'm trying to upgrade this laptop from feisty to gutsy, using the update manager gui, and it appears to be hanging at the "Installing the upgrades" step. Nothing is displaying in the terminal, and none of the logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ have been updated in over 12 minutes | 02:51 |
| crf | LaBlua, have you tried only once? | 02:52 |
| aleksN^ | I'm not able to find the original sources.list for ubuntu 7.04 | 02:52 |
| LaBlua | crf: I tried cancelling out of it and restarting it, but it got to the same spot again and locked up. | 02:53 |
| LaBlua | Well, I dunno if locked up is accurate.. the orange bar keeps moving back and forth, but nothing else is happening. CPU, network, and disk look pretty idle | 02:53 |

| vostro1510 | Tidus | 02:56 |
| aleksN^ | Jack_Sparrow; I'm not sure what you mean. I edited the sources.list ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades ) as said here, and Gneu sendt me a link from a forum where a guy says that after updating my sources.list, I should edit it back to my old souces.list | 02:56 |
| nowimproved | Uh, flash is making my computer run at 95 percent cpu again, joy | 02:56 |
| Lymies | I was on a website, blogtv, where you can watch webcams, and when I closed the window it made this skipping sound that wouldn't go away, so I closed firefox, then I logged out and it kept doing that, then I did /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop, and when I shut down alsa of course it stopped, but when I turned it back on it was back again, so I just restarted.

| vostro1510 | just putting the back of notebook up didnt solve the problem. | 02:57 |
| vostro1510 | I put a ventilador (rack ventilator) to flow air to notebook. | 02:57 |

| MikeH | Any Gnome/compiz users here? How can I add a desktop to compiz? When I enable desktop cube, only two workspaces are shown, instead of the 4 I have now? | 02:58 |
| SJrX | Nothing | 02:58 |
| Tidus | vostro1510: not a problem | 02:58 |
| Germ|Mint | anyone? | 02:59 |
| vostro1510 | sorry, a feature. :-) | 02:59 |
| Wildcat_ | guys anyone have any ideas why in ubuntu 8.10 i get only static as audio with my hdmi cable?? | 02:59 |
| churl | my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? | 02:59 |
| Stormx2 | MikeH: The way I do it is to add the "workspace switcher" thingy to my GNOME panel, then right click > preferences, and set the workspaces to 4. | 02:59 |
| m15k | does anybody know how to install JDK update 11 on ubuntu? | 02:59 |

| vostro1510 | I update my Ubuntu from 8.04, using 8.10 cdrom and cdromupgrade. | 02:59 |
| mdg | churl: right click on he menu and add it back | 02:59 |
| Stormx2 | Lymies, killall pulseaudio? | 03:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeH, Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mous | 03:00 |
| mdg | I mean the menu bar | 03:00 |
| vostro1510 | but it didnt worked (I think). Im 8.10, software updates didnt work, saying that was a problem with some packages... | 03:00 |
| vostro1510 | Now, installing 8.10 from zero. | 03:00 |
| vostro1510 | Newbie sucks. :D | 03:00 |
| Lymies | I was using pulseaudio before, maybe if I switch back to just plain alsa it'll be fine | 03:01 |
| Lymies | How do you switch back? | 03:01 |
| MikeH | Jack_Sparrow: It won't let me change the value from 1. | 03:01 |
| === fenris_ is now known as ejat | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeH, Time for me to run.. but if it wont let you change that is a different issue.. | 03:01 |
| Stormx2 | Lymies, personally I just have a script which kills pulseaudio on boot. pulseaudio is just a complete bastard generally. skype won't work with it. flash won't work with it. it blocks alsa, etc etc. if you can live without per-application volume controls (i can), just kill it as a startup prog. | 03:02 |
| churl | mdg: i dont think i can do that, i believe this is part of a bug | 03:02 |
| Stormx2 | Off to bed. ciao | 03:02 |
| moontan | happy new year everybody. i can't print, export pdf/postscript or other formats from many applications any more since i installed a bunch of musical notation progs. what can i do about this? | 03:02 |

| mizery | A friend of mine just installed Ubuntu on their computer. Their keyboard used in X as well as at terminal/console is strange. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. they have a standard QWERTY keyboard but the following keys result: Pushing "q" shows 5, "w" shows 6, "e" shows q, "r" shows ., "t" shows o and "y" shows r. I'm not sure what layout is being used or if it's a standard layout. How can I find out how to change the keyboard | 03:03 |

| LaBlua | ZellSF: Trying to just disable networking through it, or actually power it down? | 03:07 |
| ZellSF | actually power it down | 03:07 |

| mdg | churl, can you start nm-applet from the command line? | 03:08 |
| SJrX | I have broken grub on my machine and can't boot. I had messed with the partitions, but basically the long short of it is, that Windows 2003 overwrote the bootsector, and even after fixing it, now all my linux installs can't seem to be able to find root | 03:08 |

| cyberjuice | i just think its crazy how I can see my Shared Ubuntu files over the network from a windows machine but I cant see the Shared windows files from Ubuntu. But I see the windows shared files on the network when im on another windows machine. Ubuntu just wont let me see the shared windows drives on the network | 03:12 |
| cyberjuice | it shows me the machine name but when i click on it nothing is there. but if i go to my Xp machine and go to the shared files on vista they are there so i know they are shared | 03:12 |
| skeet0r | SJrX: you think that it is definitely a code error an there is no way to fix it by editing a configuration file or something? | 03:12 |

| skeet0r | how can I determine what exactly is going on? | 03:13 |
| SJrX | skeet0r, sometimes it's legitimate for a script to use that much memory, like if you are importing a bunch of data. However if that happens when you are trying to setup like phpBB then it's probably bad. | 03:13 |
| cyberjuice | lablua - yes | 03:13 |
| SJrX | But I need to know exactly what you are doing to produce that error, it could be a bug in the script, or malformed XML, or a bunch of things. | 03:13 |

| npope | Dante123: if the reboot does not help then restarting X wont have an effect. | 03:43 |
| werLd- | so unless you change that file, its not going to do much | 03:43 |
| Dante123 | werLd it's not so much do what I want...but do what I can.....editing x config files gives me the heebie jeebies | 03:43 |
| Roums | neer you won't be able to do it i guess, unless you made an ad hoc connection between your 2 computers, and he should not be connecter to adsl with wireless | 03:43 |
| werLd- | Dante123: make a backup, cp -p xorg.conf xorg.bak | 03:44 |
| werLd- | then you can modify xorg.conf at will | 03:44 |
| whyameye | Dante123: I was going to suggest before that if the machines are practically identical you could try copying the xorg.conf file from the working one and try it on the broken one. | 03:44 |
| Dante123 | npope exactly, so what other options are there | 03:44 |
| jensor | venger http://pastebin.com/d737394cd | 03:44 |
| Dante123 | whyameye might try that.... | 03:44 |
| Varth | Dr_willis_: I finally found a working .deb: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18358430/zsnes_1.510b-1%7Etimo2_i386.deb | 03:44 |
| werLd- | dante: if you dont want to modify, use more, cat, less to display the working xorg.conf file | 03:44 |
| whyameye | Dante123: take werLd-'s advice tho about a backup. | 03:45 |
| SkinnYPup | Can some recomend me a pci wireless card that works with ubuntu with little to no hassle? | 03:45 |
| The_Rebel | what a good terminal emulator for those of use without gnome/kde? | 03:45 |
| venger | jensor, so you didn't share it as "SharedDocs" ? | 03:45 |
| czer323 | terminator ? | 03:45 |
| The_Rebel | xterm won't start on my box for some reason | 03:45 |
| Dante123 | whyameye npope werLd- what I can't understand is why it cant just autodetect or reset the monitor ....through gui...is there no way to set monitor via gui | 03:45 |
| neer | Roums: he is connected with cable to dsl modem | 03:46 |
| neer | Roums | 03:46 |
| jensor | venger no | 03:46 |
| eseven73 | I use Terminal on xubuntu and Icewm | 03:46 |
| neer | Roums: but I want to connect with him in wireless mode | 03:46 |
| The_Rebel | eseven73.. what package provides it? | 03:46 |
| omny_devi | anyone ever install wine on a 64bit OS using the wiki? | 03:46 |
| npope | Dante123: make sure the connection is correctly seated in the back of the computer and the monitor. | 03:46 |
| werLd- | Dante123: priv msg me with this info from both machines: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:46 |
| eseven73 | The_Rebel>> I think it came with Ubuntu or xubuntu not sure , one of those | 03:47 |
| Roums | neer if he has a wireless card you can, you have to setup an ad hoc connection | 03:47 |
| eseven73 | !info Terminal | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Package Terminal does not exist in intrepid | 03:47 |
| The_Rebel | your pbly using gnome-terminal then | 03:47 |
| eseven73 | yeah | 03:47 |
| The_Rebel | i don't want gnome crap on my server. | 03:47 |
| werLd- | The_Rebel: sometimes xterm wont launch for simple reasons like the hostname not being defined, i would go to google "ubuntu xterm wont launch" | 03:47 |
| The_Rebel | terminator is fine. | 03:47 |
| eseven73 | hmm it just says "Terminal" in Help>About | 03:47 |
| jnjackins | how do I turn on colour coding of files and directories in the terminal? | 03:48 |
| The_Rebel | ls --color | 03:48 |
| eseven73 | Terminal 0.2.8 | 03:48 |
| The_Rebel | ls -C | 03:48 |
| neer | Roums: I tried that..wireless network connects but no internet | 03:48 |
| Dante123 | http://pastebin.ca/1298034 is config from this pc | 03:48 |
| kholerabbi | on I'm installing a game on wine and I can't put the second disc in because I can't unmount/eject the first cd.. So WHY do I get an error saying I can't unmount cd (wine maybe??) and HOW do I unmount it anyway? | 03:48 |
| venger | jensor, the only thing i can think of is something to do with perm.. there is an account named jack on the Xp box? | 03:48 |
| jnjackins | how can I create an alias so ls always uses color? | 03:48 |
| The_Rebel | create an alias in your .bashrc file jnjackins | 03:49 |
| eseven73 | The_Rebel>> what wm you using? | 03:49 |
| Roums | neer then he has to make a bridge between cable (rj 45) connection and wireless connection | 03:49 |
| The_Rebel | LXDE, eseven73. | 03:49 |
| Dante123 | should I try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 03:49 |
| eseven73 | nice i have that too | 03:49 |
| jensor | venger I used to be able to access it like it is currently shared, however when I tried to set up things so that the xp box could access the linux box files somenthing happened and now the linux box can't see the xp box | 03:49 |
| eseven73 | i have like 14 wm's | 03:49 |
| eseven73 | lol | 03:49 |
| jnjackins | The_Rebel: .bashrc doesn't exist-- create it? | 03:49 |
| czer323 | yes | 03:49 |
| The_Rebel | jnjackins echo "alias ls ls -C" >> $HOME/.bashrc | 03:50 |
| jnjackins | thank you | 03:50 |
| The_Rebel | np | 03:50 |
| werLd- | kholerabbi: in wine, you can set certain drives to be seen so you can run the installs from a iso image/directory if you are having issues | 03:50 |
| Roums | eseven73 so you know a lot about wm, maybe you could help me with compiz messing with gnome (at least, it what i think :) | 03:51 |
| kholerabbi | werLd-: OK I guess I'll do that thanks. | 03:51 |
| skooz | what is a good way to learn about the terminal | 03:51 |
| werLd- | compiz is a big program that does very little except mess up displays for lifetime | 03:51 |
| eseven73 | i dont know much bout compiz Roums im more of a Minimalistic person really, i dont need eyecandy for the things i do | 03:51 |
| m00t | skooz: man bash | 03:51 |
| skooz | ? | 03:52 |
| The_Rebel | what problems are you having Roums | 03:52 |
| werLd- | im with eseven73 on compiz being too much eyecandy for too much work | 03:52 |
| The_Rebel | i know a bit about compiz | 03:52 |
| m00t | skooz: and the terminal help | 03:52 |
| skooz | ok | 03:52 |
| The_Rebel | gnome and compiz is usual pretty stable/bug free | 03:52 |
| m00t | skooz: inside the terminal you can issue man bash to see the bash manual | 03:52 |
| The_Rebel | at least compared to KDE. | 03:52 |
| skooz | boy im a newbie | 03:53 |
| werLd- | compiz doesnt add anything very useful tho, aside from looking cool | 03:53 |
| skooz | just type man bash in terminal | 03:53 |
| eseven73 | the coolness wears off fast | 03:53 |
| m00t | skooz: bash is the command line interpretor | 03:53 |
| Roums | eseven73 i don't really it too but I wanted to try some "cool features" to make my own opinion of it, and it screwed up all my config i guess :) | 03:54 |
| SkinnYPup | Can some recomend me a pci wireless card that works with ubuntu with little to no hassle? | 03:54 |
| The_Rebel | i wish i could get compiz + xinerama + XV to work without tearing on my HDTV. | 03:54 |
| perfects | noob here, when i tried to install live cd of ubuntu, it is not recognising my ethernet cards, what shpuld i do ? | 03:54 |
| fosco_ | SkinnYPup: any SMC manufacturer with Atheros chipset | 03:54 |
| venger | jensor, try smbclient -U knownuser -P knownpassword -L jj-nu (replace known*) | 03:54 |
| dotslash | SkinnYPup: There is a list available online. | 03:54 |
| skooz | wow got a lot to learn | 03:54 |
| omny_devi | compiz is awesome for managing vm's :D | 03:54 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest15170 | ||
| omny_devi | anyone ever use wine on a 64bit ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | Turns out I understood it backward. I thought that if I set the sink on one machine to the network device, then played stuff on the network device machine, the other machine would play it too. I see now that the opposite is true - if I play stuff on the first machine set to use the network sink, it comes out of the network sink. How can I use the network sink and local sound card simultaneously? | 03:55 |
| Roums | mhmm i saw some nice themes using compiz and 3D | 03:55 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omny_devi: me, it works just fine. | 03:55 |
| scunizi_ | omny_devi: how do you use conpiz to manage vm's.. doesn't make sense to me. | 03:55 |
| m00t | skooz: what are you looking for? | 03:55 |
| omny_devi | Mr_Bunny...I am on the wiki. What is the wine tree? | 03:55 |
| anthony | when I attempt an sudo apt-get update I recieve an error message "ubuntu servers unreachable" can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? | 03:55 |
| eseven73 | scunizi_>> was wondering the same | 03:55 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: what servers are you set to use under software sources? | 03:56 |
| The_Rebel | anthony, can you surf the internet? | 03:56 |
| skooz | oh nothing but everything | 03:56 |
| omny_devi | middle mouse to just quickly and easily go to all my vm's. much better than having a lot of minimized windows, and i get them all in full screen | 03:56 |
| werLd- | he probably means using the virtual desktops, but doesnt realize thats already built in | 03:56 |
| anthony | not sure how to surf from a command line ubuntu server | 03:56 |
| omny_devi | vmware is better :p | 03:56 |
| werLd- | omny: you dont need compiz to do that | 03:56 |
| anthony | sorry, should have said that from the beginning | 03:56 |
| felipe__ | hi | 03:56 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omny_devi: the wine tree? sounds like the collection of wine code. why? | 03:56 |
| mdg | anthony: use links -g | 03:56 |
| omny_devi | right now i just want wine to work so i can play my copy of cod4 | 03:56 |
| SkinnYPup | fosco_: thanks | 03:56 |
| krazed | Anyone know any good apps that'll put system information on your desktop in plain text? Kind of like a cpu dockapp type deal | 03:56 |
| felipe__ | is it possible to install ubuntu with a DVD? | 03:57 |
| anthony | k, let me try that | 03:57 |
| The_Rebel | anthony.. i mean just any browser | 03:57 |
| ataq_ | hey can anyone tell me how to get smp on 8.04? | 03:57 |
| scunizi_ | eseven73: maybe because he has the fire plugin and can "burn" the win vm when closing.. :) | 03:57 |
| The_Rebel | < my name is Anthony btw. | 03:57 |
| omny_devi | @Mr_Bunny, on the wiki it says "You can make these links in a temporary folder within the wine tree. " | 03:57 |
| Chris_Chase | Does anybody know how to figure out whats wrong with a Ethernet card? | 03:57 |
| omny_devi | followed by about 40 links that need to be made, i just dont know what the wine tree is, heh | 03:57 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omny_devi: you're compiling from source? why bother? | 03:57 |
| The_Rebel | what problems are you having with the card Chris_Chase? | 03:58 |
| m00t | krazed: conky | 03:58 |
| omny_devi | @Mr_Bunny - I want call of duty 4 to work on it | 03:58 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omny_devi: that means within the wine source code directory you decompressed | 03:58 |
| omny_devi | Hmm | 03:58 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omny_devi: you're compiling git or something? | 03:58 |
| anthony | isn't there a way to fetch a webpage from the CLI? | 03:58 |
| Chris_Chase | The_Rebel, my computer detects it but I am unable to connect to the internet | 03:58 |
| omny_devi | I just did a sudo apt-get build-dep wine | 03:58 |
| dotslash | hmm, are there any actual pro's to using ubuntu64 | 03:58 |
| omny_devi | so far | 03:58 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omni_devi: in terminal cd to the wine source directory | 03:59 |
| krazed | m00t: ty | 03:59 |
| scunizi_ | anthony: you want to display it like FF? use w3m or elinks.. there's lots more too. | 03:59 |
| omny_devi | http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-c47d9e53f952c5b6260467e0dc158321229216de is the link I am getting my instructions from | 03:59 |
| mdg | anthony, do you know what text web browser is installed? | 03:59 |
| anthony | no, I do not | 03:59 |
| anthony | I'll try anything | 03:59 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | lynx | 03:59 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: lynx | 03:59 |
| anthony | it's not installed | 03:59 |
| omny_devi | @Mr_Bunny - if you do a build where is the location it puts it? | 03:59 |
| anthony | tried that | 03:59 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: if you are experiencing networking issues this link will provide some basic troubleshooting howto;s --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25557 | 03:59 |
| omny_devi | is there a default? | 03:59 |
| felipe__ | ubuntu in a dvd? | 03:59 |
| Chris_Chase | thank you exodus_ms :) | 03:59 |
| felipe__ | is it possible to install ubuntu with a DVD? | 03:59 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omny_devi: so have you already compiled, then? | 03:59 |
| anthony | & I can't install it | 03:59 |
| scunizi_ | anthony: sudo apt-get install lynx or elinks or whatever cli browser there is. | 03:59 |
| werLd- | ataq: you can recompile the kernel with SMP support or perhaps load a module for SMP | 03:59 |
| werLd- | felipe_: yes they have DVD ISO's | 04:00 |
| whyameye | Dante123: did you try system -> admin -> nvidia X server settings? There's an auto for resolution and refresh there. | 04:00 |
| anthony | I'll try again, but any install I atttempt errors out on me | 04:00 |
| quizme | is /usr/local/bin deprecated on ubuntu ? | 04:00 |
| mdg | anthony: sudo apt-get install links2 | 04:00 |
| scunizi_ | anthony: use all lower case | 04:00 |
| omny_devi | @Mr_Bunny - Negative. Just did that build-dep and that is it so far. Before I can compile I need to make a lot of links so the compile doesn't fail. But it said to make the links in the wine tree, which I have no idea what that is | 04:00 |

| mdg | anthony, you will still need a browser to view them in | 04:01 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | omni_devi: Right. In terminal, cd to the root of the wine source that you extracted. run pwd, and replace the 'pwd' in the block of link commands with the output. run it. | 04:01 |
| mylisto | what is !enter | 04:01 |

| mdg | anthony, most of us are learning right along with you. | 04:03 |
| anthony | but, you can only bang your head against the wall so much | 04:03 |
| scunizi_ | mylisto: install k3b .. it's much easier and more reliable. | 04:03 |

| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: what is the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces ? | 04:03 |

| mr-rich | ok ... I admit it ... I don't like change ... but it's time to upgrade ... I've been on FC5 for a year now and I need to upgrade ... FC changes too fast and at times is too unstable ... is it possible to upgrade to (k/g/x/?)ubuntu as painlessly? | 04:07 |
| sp00f3r | mnthatnkx for the help | 04:07 |
| sp00f3r | bye | 04:07 |
| The_Rebel | looks like it doesn't support CSS | 04:08 |
| The_Rebel | which means it's worthless. | 04:08 |
| scunizi_ | mr-rich: you might be able to do it pretty painlessly if your /home is on a separate partition.. just do a fresh install and don't format /home | 04:08 |
| The_Rebel | for viewing anything but pure HTML anyways.. | 04:08 |
| mdg | anthony: INX | 04:08 |

| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, let me get that | 04:11 |

| scunizi_ | mr-rich: Jaunty = 9.04.. first number is the year the next is the month | 04:12 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: no, it prints out connection information, I think | 04:12 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, aahhh...ok.... | 04:12 |
| scunizi_ | mr-rich: 6 months between releases and 3 years between LTS releases | 04:13 |
| venger | jensor, why dont you temporaily rename the smb.conf and possibly secrets.tdb since we are troubleshooting access from this server to another for the time being | 04:13 |
| mr-rich | Scunizi: aha ... interesting version scheme ... will 9.04 be an LTS release? | 04:13 |
| eseven73 | 3 years? i heard 2 | 04:13 |
| venger | jensor, and stop the smb daemon temporarily | 04:13 |
| scunizi_ | mr-rich: no 8.04 was LTS.. | 04:13 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, pasted again.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/98034/ | 04:14 |
| scunizi_ | mr-rich: most releases are timed to come out after the latest gnome release.. doesn't always work out that way but the attempt is there. | 04:14 |
| jensor | Venger, Okay, I'll let you know when tahts done | 04:15 |
| mr-rich | scunizi_: will OO 3.x be available for older releases? | 04:15 |
| venger | jensor, if you git things fixed then we can paste the smb.conf and what not to see if some setting is affecting expected functionality | 04:15 |
| mr-rich | scunizi_: and does the Ubuntu team prefer Gnome over KDE? | 04:16 |
| Tekno | Amd or Intel | 04:16 |
| eseven73 | !best | Tekno | 04:16 |
| ubottu | Tekno: 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. | 04:16 |
| scunizi_ | mr-rich: occationally they will backport some of the newer packages of the most used programs but you can never bet on it. They are gnome oriented but there is a kde branch | 04:16 |
| Tekno | :P | 04:16 |
| mizery_ | LaBlua / gaelfx: I found in /etc/default/console-setup that XKBVARIANT="dvorak-r" What is yours set to? qwerty? | 04:17 |

| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: okay... you have an ip... can you ping your router or something else on LAN? | 04:18 |
| mr-rich | scunizi_: is the KDE branch well supported? I used to prefer Gnome, but it became harder to configure w/o editing config files, so I switched over to KDE ... | 04:19 |
| ethereality | I'm attempting to write to a file on my Windows partition, which I think is NTFS. I can write to certain files but not others, but there appears to be no difference in the permissions of the files; "ls -l" shows both a writeable and unwriteable file as "-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Does this error make sense? | 04:19 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, yes, I can ping everything inside my network | 04:19 |

| scunizi_ | mr-rich: it is.. it's called kubuntu. but there is a transition from kde 3.5.x to 4.x.x which is pretty huge.. typically kubuntu and ubuntu have their LTS release at the same time. Because of the kde transititon this last time they didn't. | 04:20 |
| eseven73 | mr-rich>> at the end of the day any window manager is gonna need some sort of editing of config files, even the fancy pretty ones like KDE | 04:20 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: you were asking before how to know if a nic aas gone bad? This card worked before you installed ubuntu? | 04:20 |
| mizery_ | Where can I find a reference to acceptable or standard values for XKBVARIANT in /etc/default/console-setup? | 04:21 |

| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: that shouldn't be necessary | 04:21 |
| mizery_ | I see many posts in forums referring to "mac" but the system is not a mac | 04:22 |

| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: ok, so it is not 8.10, cool | 04:22 |
| jtaji | bullgard4: if you drop the stderr redirection you'll see you're getting an error from find | 04:22 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: might as well try it though | 04:22 |
| Tapout | how do you handle a lockup? Samba still works, sshd works, only thing locked up is the GUI. | 04:22 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, will do | 04:22 |
| jtaji | bullgard4: try 'find / -types' | 04:22 |
| scunizi_ | mylisto: use the slowest speed you can. | 04:22 |
| earthmeLon | Anybody here have an HP Pavillion DV9000? I am *PRETTY* sure that bluetooth is supposed to work "out of the box", but hcitool dev is not displaying any devices. | 04:22 |
| jtaji | bullgard4: sorry... 'find / -type s' | 04:22 |
| mylisto | will that prevent it? | 04:22 |
| mylisto | also should I do a 'test run' first? | 04:22 |
| scunizi_ | Tapout: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the gui | 04:22 |
| mdg | Tapout, kill X and restart it | 04:22 |
| Fahad | I have prob. with blue video screen . the pic. running but the color blue . any help plz | 04:23 |
| nickrud | Tapout, easiest is to ssh in and run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 04:23 |
| ukubuntu | any cli cmd to check mp3 playback? | 04:23 |
| Tekno | hello | 04:23 |
| scunizi_ | mylisto: don't know if that will prevent it or not.. doing a test run first might keep you from ruining dvd's | 04:23 |
| Tapout | cntl+alt+backspace is ignored, trying to gdm restart | 04:23 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | ukubuntu: vlc plays mp3s, try that | 04:23 |

| eseven73 | !repeat | 04:24 |
| Tekno | I'm using openbox. Now how do I make ctrl+alt+del to shutdown system? | 04:24 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 04:24 |
| ukubuntu | vlc shows visu but no sound Mr_Bunny_ | 04:24 |
| Fahad | I feel sad with ur reply | 04:25 |
| Tapout | nickrud, funny thing is... I ran that, it restarted.. yet the screen is still frozen | 04:25 |
| Tekno | I'm using openbox ubuntu.. how do I make ctrl+alt+del to shutdown system? | 04:25 |
| eseven73 | Tekno>> i think openbox has some sort of .keys file...... | 04:25 |
| mylisto | hey scunizi_: and scunizi: I'm pasting the output | 04:25 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: still nothing | 04:25 |
| walt | Can I not hibernate ubuntu without a dedicated swap partition= | 04:25 |
| walt | ? | 04:25 |
| scunizi_ | Tekno: ctrl+alt+del doesn't shutdown the system.. ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the gui or you can ctrl+alt+F2 and log in and type sudo shutdown now or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 04:25 |
| mdg | Fahad, had the screen been all right before? | 04:25 |
| nickrud | Tapout, heh. try sudo killall X | 04:25 |
| jtaji | walt: correct | 04:25 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: do you have a router? | 04:25 |
| Fahad | yes | 04:26 |
| eseven73 | Tekno>> most likely you're gonna have to edit .keys manually, go to openbox's website im sure theres a HOWTO for that | 04:26 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: yes | 04:26 |
| Tekno | okay | 04:26 |
| jtaji | walt: and it must be > size of your ram | 04:26 |
| jacky | hi there. ok got ubunto 8.10 booting offa usb fine with unetbootin. struggled dong this with opensuse. | 04:26 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: DHCP enabled? | 04:26 |
| nickrud | Tapout, change that, sudo killall Xorg | 04:26 |
| Fahad | mdg = yes | 04:26 |
| mdg | Fahad, had you made any changes to the system? | 04:26 |
| Fahad | yes | 04:26 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: well i have a modem i dotn know if thats the same thing, and how would i check if DHCP is enabled | 04:26 |
| jacky | how do i determine if the installation contains 'Mono ' ? | 04:26 |
| mdg | Fahad, what kind of changes? | 04:26 |
| Fahad | i install 32 bit | 04:26 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: the modem is what you recieved | 04:26 |
| Fahad | bachage | 04:27 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: sorry, the modem is what you recieved from your ISP | 04:27 |
| walt | jtaji: I know that. But is it not possible to define a swap file on my primary ubuntu partition? | 04:27 |
| mr-rich | scunizi_: KDE needs far less editing ... | 04:27 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: my computers connected directly to the modem via Ethernet | 04:27 |
| jtaji | walt: it must be a partition, not a swap file | 04:27 |
| jensor | venger i stopped the daemons and renamed smb.conf and secrets.tdb | 04:27 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: okay, how are you connected to the Internet right now? | 04:28 |
| mdg | Fahad, what package did you have before 32 bit? | 04:28 |
| mylisto | hey scunizi_: and scunizi: here is the debugging output... | 04:28 |
| scunizi_ | mr-rich: well.. not really..they're about the same.. just depends on what you are doing. | 04:28 |
| mylisto | http://pastebin.com/m23df8e1b | 04:28 |
| walt | jtaji: thanks, that's what I was asking. Not I know | 04:28 |
| walt | Now* | 04:28 |
| werLd- | Chris_Chase: ISP do MAC filtering, so if that was plugged into another comp and working, then u plugged it into another comp | 04:28 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, even putting that ip on the DMZ of my router I still get a network unreachable | 04:28 |
| bullgard4 | jtaji: Thank you very much for your help. -- I wish you a happy new year 2009. | 04:28 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, no matter what I do | 04:28 |
| Fahad | i installed 32 bit package and me sys. 64 bit | 04:28 |
| eseven73 | Tekno>> yeah most light weight window managers like openbox , fluxbox, icewm, etc use .keys .menu and a few other files like that , theres a few GUI apps that can do that too, but you have to install them. | 04:28 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: i am on a seperate computer running windows vista | 04:28 |
| werLd- | you may have to spoof the MAC address in order to pull a IP address from DHCP | 04:28 |
| Fahad | me =my | 04:28 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: so you have a router as well? | 04:28 |
| mdg | anthony, had you updated the server install? | 04:28 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: no its a laptop with wireless | 04:29 |
| anthony | mdg, thats where I got stuck at | 04:29 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: wow, that's confusing | 04:29 |
| venger | jensor, check if you get visibilitiy of the xp share | 04:29 |
| anthony | mdg, it was that step that led me to this room | 04:29 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: understood, but where is the signal coming from, do you have a wireless router? | 04:29 |
| werLd- | Chris_Chase: does your ISP do MAC address filtering? | 04:29 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | ukubuntu: try installing the pulseaudio plugin for vlc | 04:29 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, :( | 04:29 |
| walt | Is there any window manager/script I can write/anything that would let me control my startup sequence in detail? As in controling exactly what application starts in what desktop etc. | 04:30 |
| mdg | sounds like you have an apt-sources.list problem or something | 04:30 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: my internet comes from my modem, and yes they have mac address filtering | 04:30 |
| scunizi_ | mylisto: sorry no idea what any of that means.. someone else will have to help with this one. | 04:30 |
| mdg | or perhaps a GPG key | 04:30 |
| Mr_Bunny_ | anthony: I take it you've tried rebooting and sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? | 04:30 |
| Shoadow56 | I was wondering if anyone could help me with a wireless problem? | 04:30 |
| anthony | mdg, should I redownload 8.10 ubuntu server and do a fresh install that way? | 04:30 |
| Fahad | mdg u left me :) | 04:30 |
| mdg | Fahad, how come you want to use 32 bit on a 64 bit system? | 04:30 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: I wasn't the one asking about MAC filtering, but you may need to "add" your ubuntu computer's MAC address so that your ISP will allow a connection for that computer | 04:30 |
| anthony | Mr_Bunny_, let me try that | 04:30 |
| Fahad | by wrong | 04:30 |
| mylisto | scunizi: also...I only get one writing speed | 04:31 |
| mylisto | which is auto | 04:31 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms:how do i do that | 04:31 |
| mdg | Fahad: by wrong? | 04:31 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: are you using ADSL | 04:31 |
| werLd- | Chris_Chase: plug the cable modem into the working computer, then from cmd line, type: ipconfig /all 2. write down the MAC address 3.) log into your router and manually put the MAC address to be the one you just wrote down 4.) plug the cable modem into the router, it should be able to pull IP from DHCP | 04:31 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: im not sure if im using ADSL | 04:32 |
| Fahad | right now I wanna unistall 32 bit and install 42 package . how ? | 04:32 |
| exodus_ms | werLd-: he say he doesnt have a router... | 04:32 |
| Shoadow56 | I was wondering if anyone could help me with a wireless problem? | 04:32 |
| whlcer | wo de zui ai | 04:32 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: type 192.168.2.1 into your browser | 04:32 |
| mauruli | I can use system encryption with Ubuntu with dual-boot? | 04:33 |
| scunizi_ | Chris_Chase: does the modem plug into a telephone jack or does a round tv type cable screw into the back. | 04:33 |
| mdg | Fahad, you mean you want to install 64 bit Ubuntu version? | 04:33 |
| werLd- | exodus_ms: then he cannot spoof easily, so he will need to call isp and have new MAC address added so second computer can pull IP | 04:33 |

| Chris_Chase | scunizi_:the modem plugs into a telephone jack | 04:33 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms:ok im in the router page | 04:33 |
| scunizi_ | Chris_Chase: then it's adsl.. | 04:33 |
| exodus_ms | werLd-: correct, but he doesnt even know what a router is, lets see if anything comes up from the ip addr I gave him | 04:33 |
| Fahad | mdg plz read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 | 04:34 |
| exodus_ms | werLd-: see, he does have a router, just doesnt know any better | 04:34 |

| riz0n | anthony: that restarts TCP/IP on your PC | 04:35 |
| jtaji | riz0n: this is usually done with either procmail or sieve | 04:36 |
| jtaji | riz0n: for the later there is a dovecot sieve plugin | 04:36 |
| ukubuntu | Mr_Bunny_: Thanks for the idea. playing around on tho CLI I did vlc track1.mp3 but that did nothing new, but ittook a long time to close, I then did totem track1.mp3 and it finally worked.

| DiiPhantom | jtaji, of course i do, you didnt understand what i asked for, i said a program not a command | 04:47 |
| werLd | Chris_Chase: can you IM me with the problem you are having I only caught some of the issue, not all of it | 04:47 |
| eseven73 | mstrzion>> dont use the quote marks | 04:47 |
| jtaji | DiiPhantom: mount is a program | 04:48 |
| venger | jensor, did you save off the stock smb.conf? | 04:48 |
| eseven73 | just sudo dpkg --configure -a | 04:48 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: once i added the mac addresss in i rebooted the system, then i went to the network setttings changed it back to ppoe and then it didnt work | 04:48 |
| DiiPhantom | jtaji, ok clearer, G iso mounter | 04:48 |

| jensor | venger, yes | 04:48 |
| exodus_ms | werLd: can you take over please | 04:48 |
| venger | jensor, put that in place so it will stop complaining about the file | 04:48 |
| werLd | Chris_Chase: does any computer work with DSL modem directly to a computer? etc? | 04:49 |
| webbi | hello | 04:49 |
| DiiPhantom | i got it, gisomount thank you anyways | 04:49 |
| webbi | anybody know how can i recompile qt with ssl support? | 04:49 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: yes i have xbox connected, and 1 other computer by wire | 04:49 |
| venger | jensor, so i knew i wasn't crazy i just shared two folders (share then apply) in xp and they both showed up immediately from ubuntu server | 04:50 |
| RaZMataZ | does anyone know a good fix for losing the touchpad after hibernation? | 04:50 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: I'm going to hand this over to WerLd sorry I couldn't get it going for you... good luck | 04:50 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: thanks | 04:50 |
| venger | jensor, you may want to remove and reapply the share, default perms anyway | 04:50 |
| Arenlor | Hi all, I'm wondering why ps ux | grep `word` shows the grep `word` process: http://arenlor.pastebin.com/d1102d900 | 04:50 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: be sure to reply to werLd :) | 04:50 |
| werLd | chris_chase: so you have DSL modem plugged directly into a computer, or a hub? or a router? what is your setup | 04:50 |
| scunizi_ | werLd: most dsl modems have to "dial" into the isp. Typically, on a windows machine, there is something that is installed that does that dial in connection for you when you access a browser. If you have a router, then most routers have the ability to do the dialing in right from the firmware of the router. | 04:50 |
| Chris_Chase | exodus_ms: would you know how to get the driver onto the computer without a connection to have it work via USB? | 04:51 |
| mstrzion | ok, I did that and ran the update, came up with the same error telling me to manually run it | 04:51 |
| Chris_Chase | werLd: yes i hav eanother connected to it | 04:51 |
| webbi | anybody know how can i enable qt ssl support? | 04:51 |
| stovicek | Arenlor, because when you ran grep, it became a process that is listed with ps, so it grep'd itself | 04:51 |
| o-dog | heh, looks hectic in here | 04:51 |
| DiiPhantom | command to copy one thing from one place to another? | 04:51 |
| eseven73 | Arenlor>> im not for sure, but i think its 'aux' not 'ux' or maybe there is no difference, try it anyways :) | 04:52 |
| werLd | DiiPhantom: cp -p file <newfile> | 04:52 |
| werLd | cp -R | 04:52 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: if you are using a wired connection I don't think a driver would be necessary | 04:52 |
| Chris_Chase | werLd: modems connected thourhg a phone line, and the computers connect directly to the modem | 04:52 |
| sloopy | Arenlor, because 'test' is on that line and its what your grepping for | 04:52 |
| DiiPhantom | ty | 04:53 |
| exodus_ms | werLd: this is his modem --> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13415363 | 04:53 |
| Arenlor | Is there any way to not have the grep `word` line not show up? | 04:53 |
| cros13 | most dsl ethernet "modems" do the pppoe stuff on the box a just forward the public IP | 04:53 |
| darkblue_B | could anyone say what pkgs I need for these 'not found' libs ?? | 04:53 |

| earthmeLon | Hey guys, I am having *bluetooth* problems on my *dv9000* laptop. I noticed other people are having similar issues when I found this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284982 I made a comment on it, as well. If there is anybody here that knows about bluetooth, I'd really appreciate you taking a look. Thanks in advance :D | 04:55 |
| werLd | Arenlor: grep -v ? | 04:55 |
| o-dog | heh, looks like i found a trigger | 04:55 |
| mayank | nexuiz freeze when start the game...why? | 04:55 |
| Arenlor | darkblue_B: I'm nowhere near an expert but remove everything starting with the .so and look for it in Synaptic or the like | 04:56 |
| venger | jensor, ya nothings changed, did you redo the share? does jj-nu resolve correctly? | 04:56 |
| Arenlor | !libgio-2.0 | 04:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libgio-2.0 | 04:56 |
| darkblue_B | yeah I did get that far.. but nothing comes up | 04:56 |
| sloopy | Arenlor, try grep'ing for something that wouldnt be true for the grep | 04:56 |
| darkblue_B | its one of those 'hiddin in something else' libs | 04:56 |
| Arenlor | sloopy: what do you mean? | 04:57 |
| exodus_ms | Chris_Chase: troubleshooting network issues can be confusing (for lack of a better term) in a chat environment. If you are unable to find a resolution here I would suggest searching ubuntu forums and then posting your own 'detailed' thread. Sometimes that works a lot better if you have the time to wait :) | 04:57 |
| jensor | venger, what do you mean jj-nu resolve correctly? I don't know what you mean by "redo the share" | 04:58 |
| Arenlor | darkblue_B: yes it is libgio-fam | 04:58 |
| sloopy | grep for a digit space then test instead of test maybe? | 04:58 |
| cros13 | exodus_ms: lazily, I'll point you toward a blog, http://www.iheartlinux.com/?s=speedstream, far as i can figure it is an ethernet router "modem" that just forwards the port | 04:59 |
| venger | jensor, 1) does ping jj-nu return the correct IP address 2) properties on folder, click sharing, click do not share apply, then share apply ... | 04:59 |

| stovicek | Arenlor, you can try... ps ux > file.txt && grep word file.txt ...not sure how that would work with whatever you're scripting | 05:01 |
| jensor | venger, 1. when I ping the xp box i get returns ok 2. do you mean gointo my xp box and reset that on the sharing | 05:01 |

| darkblue_B | maco: not compile.. the list is from ldd | 05:08 |
| maco | nbeebo: because there's no file called configure in that directory that's executable? | 05:08 |

| FaithWallis | I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on an old box we had sitting around. I am done with the install and got the disk out, restarted the machine...and now there are NO icons or menus for me to use...and the screen is a llittle wierd. it is like it is a little smooshed to the right (like the desktop wallpaper ahs been smooshed) I checked all the files before installing...they checked out fine. | 05:34 |
| riz0n | Hello, when using procmail for filtering, and the folder which the filtered messages are destined to contain a space, is it neccessary to encapsulate the folder with quotations in .procmailrc? Thanks. | 05:34 |

| FaithWallis | <--- absolute and complete newbie....please be gentle. :) | 05:36 |
| Arenlor | FaithWallis: can you post a screenshot somewhere for me? | 05:36 |

| The_Rebel | it's got a few of them level1. | 05:37 |
| riz0n | nickrud: thanks. I have encapsulated it with quotations, however, the messages are still landing in my inbox. I don't think that procmail is actually being processed. How can I check to see whether or not procmail is being run, and if not, how can I configure the system to use the procmail file I created? thanks so much for your help. | 05:37 |
| The_Rebel | leveliv* | 05:37 |
| neer | Gun_Smoke: how to bridge it? | 05:37 |
| nickrud | ac3_0f_spad3s, are you going to be using any services accessible from the net? | 05:37 |
| leveliv | The_Rebel I meant like how apple has that @apple.com crap ...Ubuntu specific programs | 05:37 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | nickrud: what do you mean "services"? | 05:37 |
| nickrud | ah, riz0n you're making me rack old memories :) | 05:37 |
| Gun_Smoke | neer, that's an XP thing.. I've been windows free for a lot of years... try ##windows | 05:37 |
| The_Rebel | oh, i don't think so then. | 05:37 |
| nickrud | ac3_0f_spad3s, like a web server, ftp server, anything that outside people will access | 05:38 |
| Bud93 | how do i spoof my ip for privacy in linux? | 05:38 |
| riz0n | nickrud: let me tell you what I have going on. I have postfix/dovecot (the default installed with ubuntu) and I installed SpamAssassin. I want to have mail that is flagged by SpamAssassin as spam automatically dropped in the "Junk E-mail" folder. | 05:38 |
| Bud93 | i know there must be a way... i want one of those ips using words i see people with | 05:38 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | nickrud: no | 05:38 |
| Arenlor | ac3_0f_spad3s: nothing can truly protect you from hackers, what are you going to be doing with it? I'd suggest UFW (Ubuntu FireWall) though | 05:38 |
| nickrud | ac3_0f_spad3s, then don't worry about a firewall at all | 05:38 |

| nickrud | riz0n, that's the setup I had on my remote imap; it's still there so I have a comparison | 05:39 |
| Bud93 | cros, i don't really care about getting noticed. i just don't want it advertised on irc and stuff. | 05:40 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | nickrud: is it theoretically possible to hack me, without my knowledge? | 05:40 |
| Arenlor | FaithWallis: happy with it now or need/want any more help? | 05:40 |
| Hashishanin | I have displays drivers installed, but when moving and resizing windows, they move very jerkily and slow, not at all fluid. Why would this be? | 05:40 |
| FaithWallis | arlenor: ai am sorry sorry for bugging you | 05:40 |
| nickrud | ac3_0f_spad3s, it is, _if_ you run services facing the net, or run a program that installs a rootkit. If you only install from the ubuntu repos, your chances of getting hacked approach zero | 05:40 |
| earthmeLon | I am having trouble getting *bluetooth* working on 8.10. I have a dv9000 HP Laptop. I found people having similar issues here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284982 So I posted at the bottom. Does anybody here have this laptop or any suggestions for me? | 05:41 |

| Arenlor | FaithWallis: please excuse the misunderstanding, I'm not saying you're bugging me | 05:41 |
| earthmeLon | mayank use ps to find out what process it's using and then use kill XXXX where XXXX is the process number | 05:41 |
| riz0n | nickrud: by the way the comments in the file says "Mails with a score of 15 or higher" however I changed it to 5 in the procmail file. | 05:41 |
| FaithWallis | arenlor: I just feel completely stupid for not trying it before coming in here | 05:41 |
| Arenlor | FaithWallis: I've often come in here to ask a question and right before asking it thought of something to try | 05:42 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | nickrud, i dont think anyone really installs EVERYTHING from the ubuntu repos. so if i install something from an outside source does that mean i can get hacked? | 05:42 |
| FaithWallis | Arenlor: thank you. :) | 05:42 |
| mayank | earthmelon, how to play nexuiz...?, its always hangs..i have to logout my ubuntu.. | 05:42 |
| nickrud | riz0n, is dovecot using using maildirs or mboxes? If you're not sure, you should be able to see in /etc/dovcot/ conf file | 05:42 |
| earthmeLon | mayank I have no idea what that is | 05:42 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | nickrud, do the ubuntu repos include medibuntu? | 05:42 |
| mayank | its a game | 05:42 |
| FaithWallis | Arenlor: this is SO cool. first time I've used it. | 05:43 |
| Arenlor | FaithWallis: do you know how to open a terminal? | 05:43 |
| mayank | its start fine but when i click start game its hangs,, i have to logout(ctrl+alt+f2) | 05:43 |
| riz0n | nickrud: I am pretty sure I'm using maildirs. | 05:43 |
| nickrud | ac3_0f_spad3s, if you stick with reputable sources, like medibuntu, getdeb, or are referred to a ppa by an ubuntu dev. | 05:43 |
| FaithWallis | arenlor: not yet, but I'm working on getting thru the tutorial at the ubuntu site. | 05:43 |
| mayank | anybody see my problem please??? | 05:43 |

| Bud93 | Cros13: i am behind router... well, main issue is ips can be traced and i want to obsure location and have plausible deniability | 05:44 |
| Arenlor | FaithWallis: Alright, after that if you have any questions let me know, I was going to show you how to customize what is known as Compiz, which contains for example the "Desktop Cube" | 05:44 |
| riz0n | Bud93: don't we all. :) | 05:44 |

| cros13 | insta: need a boxee invite? | 05:45 |
| Bud93 | tor slows everything down too much to be useful for everyday things... and i don't think i can use tor for irc easily | 05:45 |
| insta | cros13: maybe, i just want a program to be a shiny frontend for my fileserver's videos directory | 05:45 |
| riz0n | Bud93: find a neighbor with unsecure wifi? :\ | 05:45 |
| nickrud | ac3_0f_spad3s, it's possible to get a rootkit. Not very likely though. | 05:45 |
| FaithWallis | Arenlor: I will probably definitely want to know hwo to do that....my main reason for doing this is I got a box at my parents' house that they didn't want...it was complete trashed but I figured I could see if I coulkd get Linux to run on it ...I also want to see if I can get my Windows-based PE-Design software (for a Brother sewing machine) to run on it to dedicate this box in my sewing room | 05:46 |
| Bud93 | rizon. haha have one.... probably a honeypot setup | 05:46 |
| Bud93 | lol... call me paranoid but i have done it myself | 05:46 |
| cros13 | Bud93: use a proper list of nodes. look for the exit nodes marked fast. restrict your exit to those nodes. | 05:46 |

| Arenlor | FaithWallis: to get a Windows (in here you'll here it called M$, Doze, WinDoze, or the like btw) program to run you should try Wine. To get the Compiz stuff you can go to Application > Accessories > Terminal (the command line) and type in "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" then enter your password. After that go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig | 05:48 |
| riz0n | Bud93: The wireless DSL modems that Verizon ships to its customers only support WEP as security. Guess its a good thing I live in an area that is Verizon served ;) | 05:49 |

| rsvp | good Q, robert__ | 05:54 |
| nickrud | riz0n, no. I've set up the proper path, in the $MAILDIR variable: giving procmail a full path works best | 05:54 |

| nickrud | riz0n, http://paste.ubuntu.com/98086/ . Not the most elegant, but it served my purposes | 06:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | gerber: youv'e yet to tell me what the problem is, first you asked about limewire, then you asked about frostwire, which do you want to install. | 06:01 |
| FaithWallis | robert: does that work better in Linux than it did on my Win-box? | 06:01 |
| gerber | limewire | 06:01 |

| idea4gud | like in windows i do ctrl+Alt+del | 06:05 |
| idea4gud | to kill | 06:05 |
| lstarnes | webbi: the issue might be because of the header file containing QSslSocket not being included | 06:05 |

| rsvp | mic on half-way | 06:06 |
| jkristheking | can anyone help me with my sound problem? | 06:06 |

| Arenlor | idea4gud: ctrl+c it, otherwise try: System > Administration > System Monitor | 06:06 |
| jkristheking | rsvp: yes | 06:06 |
| Arenlor | Ubuntu_Cookies: what problem? | 06:06 |
| webbi | lstarnes: ohh you mean the #include, yes it's there... #include <QSslSocket> | 06:07 |
| riz0n | nickrud: Exactly. I have used IMAP for years, but in the past I've used Windows-based mail servers. I am trying to establish my own hosting server, and I don't want to pay $$$$ for Windows Server or a mail server program. | 06:07 |
| Ubuntu_Cookies | no sound working | 06:07 |
| riz0n | brb my kid is sick | 06:07 |

| lain_wired | Hullo all, I'm noticed I have port 80 open, although I've uninstalled apache2. As far as I know, the firewall has all ports blocked, as the apache was only ever running for computers in the network. | 06:45 |

| eseven73 | !firewall | lain_wired | 06:46 |
| ubottu | lain_wired: 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). | 06:46 |
| eseven73 | lain_wired: are you sure its open? I would test it by googling "Shields Up!" and run a free test there :) | 06:47 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | 06:49 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:49 |
| lain_wired | eseven73, mm, definitely open. Also, I'm not really familiar with iptables. | 06:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | ubottu: hello | 06:50 |
| nbeebo | how do i stop gnome from drawing my desktop and gnome-panel to appear? | 06:50 |
| outbackwifi | nbeebo: you mean you dont want these things at all? | 06:50 |
| banshee_ | how do i type the sudo chown command to make a folder and all its contents permission to "banshee" | 06:50 |
| outbackwifi | banshee_: sudo chown -R bansee. folder | 06:51 |
| outbackwifi | oops banshee | 06:51 |
| banshee_ | with a period? | 06:51 |
| outbackwifi | banshee_: that changes the group also | 06:51 |
| mayank | what is samba..what its use? | 06:51 |
| outbackwifi | !samba | mayank | 06:51 |
| ubottu | mayank: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 06:51 |
| nbeebo | outbackwifi, nope not those no | 06:51 |
| banshee_ | outbackwifi: Thanks worked like a charm, but what does -R stand for? | 06:51 |
| outbackwifi | banshee_: recursive | 06:52 |
| electric_shee1 | hello, anyone know why my name says 'electric_sheel' instead of 'electric_sheep'? | 06:52 |
| banshee_ | outbackwifi: Im a retard, recursive is like repeating isnt it? | 06:52 |
| outbackwifi | banshee_: no its like dropping into subdirectories etc | 06:52 |
| eseven73 | lain_wired: ok i would just install firestarter then and close port 80 -OR- I would go into my router and close it that way... either would work | 06:52 |
| lstarnes | electric_shee1: it's electric_shee1 with a one, not a lowercase L. The nickname electric_sheep is already in use | 06:52 |
| banshee_ | outbackwifi: Ah, thanks alot for the help bud | 06:53 |
| outbackwifi | banshee_: yw | 06:53 |
| lain_wired | eseven73, mm, router seems to be the right choice here. Slight issue with that, it's not accepting the password, and resetting it doesn't seem to help so much. | 06:53 |
| lain_wired | Gah, brb, thanks for your help guys. :D | 06:53 |
| mayank | how can i connect 2 pcs?, 1 has xp and the other has ubuntu | 06:53 |
| eseven73 | anytime | 06:54 |
| lain_wired | I'll tell you if it works. | 06:54 |
| eseven73 | ok | 06:54 |
| electric_shee1 | lstarneso: o, i id'ed as 'electric_sheep' does that matter? | 06:54 |
| lstarnes | electric_shee1: you might want to do /msg nickserv ghost electric_sheep password, then switch to that nick | 06:55 |
| outbackwifi | mayank: if they are already on a network, then use samba, else create a physical network and then use samba | 06:55 |
| mayank | outbackwifi, how do i create physical network? | 06:56 |
| electric_shee1 | lstarnes:ok thanks! | 06:56 |

| Omar871 | No updates have been detected by my system for a about three or four days, is this normal? | 07:03 |

| bullgard4 | My computer displays the manual pages in a special format: The last but one line is light blue and some kind of status line. The last line presently shows: "Press `Q' to quit, `H' for help and SPACE to scroll." How can I return to the conventional man output display mode? | 07:04 |
| Mark_Jones | Sure | 07:04 |
| Omar871 | lstarnes: Even if I try "sudo apt-get update", it won't find anything at all, is this normal too? | 07:04 |
| outbackwifi | Royall: so is there a file called configure inside that? | 07:04 |
| gerber | it look like you guys not friendly | 07:04 |
| nbeebo | how do i stop gnome from drawing my desktop and gnome-panel to appear? | 07:04 |
| Royall | outbackwifi: Oh wait nevermind, I actually just did sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng | 07:05 |
| nbeebo | gerber, im friendly theyre not | 07:05 |
| Royall | It worked; thanks anyway | 07:05 |
| lstarnes | Omar871: updates are usually only released every few days | 07:05 |
| outbackwifi | Royall: great | 07:05 |
| gerber | can you help me | 07:05 |
| Omar871 | lstarnes: Great, so there's nothing to worry about, right? | 07:05 |
| gaintsura | if I was trying to pass a password to a sudo command, would I do sudo mycommand < 'thePassword' ? | 07:05 |
| lstarnes | Omar871: if you go a whole month without any updates, then I would be worried | 07:06 |
| gerber | help me to setup my limewire | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | gaintsura: echo "password" | sudo -s command | 07:06 |
| gaintsura | -s ? | 07:06 |
| Omar871 | lstarnes: Great, thanks for your time buddy. :-) | 07:06 |
| Flannel | gaintsura: You can't | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | gaintsura: -s = read password from stdin | 07:06 |
| outbackwifi | gaintsura: doesnt the command come with a password switch like -p | 07:07 |
| gaintsura | outbackwifi: you'd think | 07:07 |
| gaintsura | oh | 07:07 |
| outbackwifi | gaintsura: best way IMHO is to use sudo -i to drop into a root shell and do whatever with the password | 07:07 |
| gaintsura | dur | 07:07 |
| gaintsura | nvm | 07:07 |
| gaintsura | no, actually there isn't | 07:07 |
| Doonz | I've just set my ubuntu box up to act as my router. Im using firestarter. Ive got one PC successfully working through the box. Now my problem is my internet on the PC is EXTREMELY slow. What can i do to get performance upto snuff. BTW my line speed is 25mbit down and 1mbit up | 07:08 |
| Royall | Ok, what do I look for under dmesg to find my chipset? | 07:08 |
| outbackwifi | Doonz: are you using something like wondershaper to shape the traffic | 07:08 |
| Sorcererbob | ok. Current question is sound related for me. I have glitchy sound. When I play music through rhythmbox it starts nice and gets jittery in a few seconds - and gets progressively worse. Different applications react differently, but they all eventually go jittery. System sounds are jittery too. CPU idling around 8% usage. | 07:09 |
| Doonz | outbackwifi: no | 07:09 |
| outbackwifi | Royall: you dont. type lspci for that | 07:09 |
| fac3less | Sorcererbob: Do you know if you're using pulseaudio? | 07:09 |
| fac3less | I've found it horrible vs. say, esound. | 07:09 |
| Royall | Oh thanks | 07:09 |
| Mark_Jones | Can anyone recomend a proggy they use to create a custom Ubuntu DVD distro? | 07:09 |
| Sorcererbob | everything is set to autodetect. I'll set it to alsa now | 07:09 |
| outbackwifi | Sorcererbob: ive noticed this prob with Pulse; just remove it | 07:09 |
| fac3less | Sorcererbob: Well, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | 07:09 |
| fac3less | Then sudo apt-get install esound | 07:09 |
| fac3less | and you should be good to go, might require a quick reboot //not sure on the latter. :p | 07:10 |
| Doonz | outbackwifi: right now i have the dns on my windows box pointing directly to the isp's dns servers | 07:10 |
| gregor | using XChat-GNOME; Can I not add another server that is not on the list already? | 07:10 |
| Sorcererbob | well the thing is that it was working earlier... then I started mucking around with ndiswrapper (this is a fresh install) and made a bunch of other changes which I can't remember. rebooted... and it doesn't work | 07:10 |
| fac3less | I doubt that's related Sorcererbob. | 07:10 |
| Sorcererbob | fair enough. I'll remove pulseaudio. One moment | 07:11 |
| fac3less | Try it, I've had the pulseaudio issue on 3 of 3 ubuntu systems. | 07:11 |
| outbackwifi | Doonz: if youve enabled direct dns queries to go through the iptables that would work; otherwise just use the ubuntu box as a forwarder | 07:11 |
| indian_munnda | hi all! i m facing speed problem while surfing on firefox on ubuntu 8.10 | 07:11 |
| czer323 | gregor, I know that the gnome version is rather dumbed down, so i haven't used it in years... I recommend installing regular xchat if nobody else is able to answer your question. | 07:11 |

| indian_munnda | SeveredCross: sorry didnt get u | 07:17 |
| SeveredCross | ...Is your disk activity light blinking a lot? | 07:18 |
| pdroy | Doonz that means there is no DNS server installed in the machine, unless you do that you will not get sites to work like you mentioned | 07:18 |
| Doonz | oh | 07:18 |
| indian_munnda | SeveredCross: nopes | 07:18 |
| outbackwifi | Doonz: well, that shows that the ubuntu box is not forwarding dns requests | 07:18 |
| Doonz | ok so say i do that will that speed up my inet browsing? | 07:18 |
| outbackwifi | Doonz: easiest way is to install dnsmasq | 07:18 |
| Doonz | or will that just allow me to us the ubuntu ip as the dns server ip | 07:19 |
| outbackwifi | Doonz: how are your boxes behind the ubuntu getting their IPs? | 07:19 |
| SeveredCross | indian_munnda: Hmm. | 07:19 |

| darkrubicant | Duke_ | 08:17 |
| darkrubicant | What are you trying to fix. | 08:17 |
| matthew_ | i prefer war games like bf2 | 08:17 |
| darkrubicant | Duke_ perhaps I should ask, what are you trying to do? | 08:17 |
| Duke_ | darkrubricant: I'm trying to get my calculator to connect to my computer | 08:17 |
| evilsine | ok would the sound card come under the multimedia controller? | 08:17 |
| saler | mattew_, Far Cry2 | 08:18 |
| Duke_ | sorry, I'm a slow typer | 08:18 |
| kelvin911 | et is bf2 liked | 08:18 |
| darkrubicant | You're just trying to open a calculator? | 08:18 |
| Duke_ | No, sorry, I was trying to run TiLP, which lets me connect my calculator to my computer | 08:19 |
| Duke_ | Through USB | 08:19 |
| darkrubicant | oh is it a graphing calculator? | 08:19 |
| Duke_ | yeah | 08:19 |
| evilsine | darkrubicant will the soundcard be named multimedia controller? | 08:19 |
| darkrubicant | i'm not sure evilsine, maybe. | 08:19 |
| evilsine | well its a intel | 08:20 |
| darkrubicant | could also be under sound. | 08:20 |
| darkrubicant | but yes multimedia sounds right. | 08:20 |
| darkrubicant | what name does it have for it? | 08:20 |
| outbackwifi | evilsine: lspci should also tell you that in more clarity | 08:20 |
| Duke_ | so is there any way I can get the UID to be 0 instead of 1000? | 08:20 |
| darkrubicant | hmm | 08:20 |
| darkrubicant | TiLP is the program that lets you connect your calculator to your computer? | 08:21 |
| Duke_ | Yeah, TiLP2 to be precise | 08:21 |
| darkrubicant | What happens if you just plug the usb cable into the calculator and into the computer? | 08:21 |
| Duke_ | Nothing | 08:21 |
| evilsine | ok about 99% of all my hardware is intel | 08:21 |
| gbear14275 | how many tcp/ip connections can ubuntu desktop handle by dafault? | 08:21 |
| skokooo | mabe usb is disabled | 08:22 |
| Duke_ | And when I use TiLP, it doesn't show my calculator's existence | 08:22 |
| evilsine | and all unknown devices | 08:22 |
| mayank | pentium4, 2.4 or dual core 2.0, which is the best? | 08:22 |
| Duke_ | My USB mouse is working fine, how do I fix the unknown devices thing? | 08:22 |
| darkrubicant | Duke_, what skokooo said, do you have usb enabled, rather do you have any other usb devices connected that are working? | 08:22 |
| Doonz | outbackwifi: I fixed the problem | 08:22 |
| outbackwifi | Doonz: ok how? | 08:22 |
| kris | hi | 08:22 |
| Duke_ | darkrubricant yeah my mouse | 08:22 |
| darkrubicant | You have to install the appropriate driver for the device. I believe that TiLP is not the appropriate driver. | 08:22 |
| Doonz | outbackwifi: i went back and re-read the firestarter howto. SOmehow i missed a reboot right after the install | 08:22 |
| skokooo | usb disabled = every thing disabled except mouse and keyboard | 08:23 |

| ubottu | mayank: 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. | 08:23 |
| Duke_ | I can't do that either | 08:23 |
| darkrubicant | Duke_, can you tell me the name and model of your graphics calculator and i'll try and find you a device driver for it, since no one appears to be able to help with glxgears/glxinfo problems. | 08:23 |
| Duke_ | TI-84+, thanks | 08:23 |
| dexi | anyone? | 08:23 |
| darkrubicant | alright | 08:23 |
| Duke_ | Texas Instruments | 08:23 |
| mayank | pentium4, 2.4 or dual core 2.0, which one is better? | 08:23 |
| skokooo | thats mean they are disabled ... do you have windows in your computer | 08:23 |
| Duke_ | Nope, just Ubuntu | 08:24 |
| evilsine | ok i think the first thing would be to update to the lastest kubutu right ? | 08:24 |

| Doonz | outbackwifi: thanx for your help and sorry for wasting your time | 08:24 |
| dexi | hi ssapphiree | 08:24 |
| saler | 2.4 or dual core 2.0, which one is better | 08:24 |
| darkrubicant | just a second Duke_ I'm on a very low resolution which makes finding answers difficult. | 08:24 |
| skokooo | sory cannot help ... but find out how to enable usb | 08:25 |
| saler | 2.4 or dual core 2.0 is better | 08:25 |
| k0d31 | what is the problem with flash in ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| Duke_ | Sure man, I appreciate the help :-) | 08:25 |
| k0d31 | i dont understand it | 08:25 |
| mayank | pentium4, 2.4 or dual core 2.0, which one is better? | 08:25 |
| raven_ | Celleron :) | 08:25 |
| k0d31 | celeron | 08:25 |
| saler | mayank, 2.4 or dual core 2.0 is better | 08:25 |
| raven_ | The 2.4GHz Celeron :) | 08:25 |
| k0d31 | :) | 08:25 |
| darkrubicant | Duke_, can I ask how you installed TiLP | 08:25 |
| Duke_ | Yeah | 08:26 |
| mayank | saler, i mean which is best of them, p4-2.4 or dual core 2.0, both has 1gb of ram | 08:26 |
| k0d31 | celeron 1.0 is best | 08:26 |
| darkrubicant | ... | 08:26 |
| k0d31 | mayabk celeron 1.0 is best | 08:26 |
| Duke_ | I tried off Synaptic, didn't work, so googled some stuff, and then removed it and installed like 10 different packages from the internet | 08:26 |
| Duke_ | I'll find the site... | 08:26 |
| evilsine | darkrubicator can you private chat with me | 08:26 |
| raven_ | Come Dual Core is by far better even better than a 3.6ghz P4 | 08:27 |
| darkrubicant | mayank if the p42.4 is just a 2.4 chip, it depends on what the dual core is, if it's a 2.0Ghz dual core, then the 2.0ghz dual core is better. | 08:27 |
| saler | mayank, ig u can buy 2.4 dual core ahead if not 2.0 | 08:27 |
| darkrubicant | haha duke_ ok, one sec. | 08:27 |
| saler | mayank, if u can buy 2.4 dual core go ahead if not 2.0 | 08:27 |
| miranda_psi | mayank: P4's are pathetic - even the Atom is probably beter... | 08:27 |
| raven_ | P4 Prescott died on me lasweek | 08:27 |
| k0d31 | what is the problem with flash in ubuntu? | 08:27 |
| mayank | no...i have p4 2.4 and planning to buy dual core 2.0, thats why i am asking, saler.. | 08:28 |
| k0d31 | does anybody know? | 08:28 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: there is no problem i know of | 08:28 |
| saler | mayank , 2.0 | 08:28 |
| raven_ | mayank: Just go for the Dual Core Bro...Its better then the fastest p4 aka 3.6ghz | 08:28 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: i downloaded free and non-free plugins it didnt work | 08:28 |
| miranda_psi | mayank: any processor you can buy these days is better than any P4 | 08:28 |
| darkrubicant | ok duke_ | 08:28 |
| Duke_ | darkrubricant: here is the website I used --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tilp/+bug/49251/comments/9 | 08:28 |
| darkrubicant | go back into synaptic, type in your password. | 08:28 |
| Duke_ | Alright | 08:28 |
| darkrubicant | and search for TiLP in the search | 08:28 |
| darkrubicant | then | 08:29 |

| miranda_psi | k0d31: I have the 64bit adobe flash player installed and everything works perfectly... | 08:29 |
| rshakin | hey ppl | 08:29 |
| Duke_ | Alright, I searched for TiLP | 08:29 |
| darkrubicant | click on the box next to tilp or tilp2 you could even do them both, mark them for installation then click apply. | 08:29 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: on firefox? | 08:29 |
| rshakin | hey who is a windows genius here | 08:29 |
| darkrubicant | outbackwifi, could you assist me with a graphics driver problem? | 08:29 |
| mayank | but i already i already have ubuntu installed, if i transfer my hdd(80gb) to new pc, my ubuntu will run or not, that is the main question | 08:29 |
| Duke_ | TiLP 2 is greyed out, it's already installed | 08:30 |
| outbackwifi | darkrubicant: i could try | 08:30 |
| rww | !windows | rshakin | 08:30 |

| rshakin | i know but they are not very helpfull | 08:30 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: yeah - is the problem you are having on all flash or just some? | 08:30 |
| mayank | and dual core has no agp slot, i also have to sell my 256mb nvidia...:( | 08:30 |
| rww | rshakin: nevertheless, if your question is a Windows support question, it doesn't belong here. #ubuntu is only for Ubuntu support. | 08:30 |
| darkrubicant | ok outbackwifi, I posted a pastebin earlier could you find it please. | 08:31 |
| saler | mayank,use backup software it is make image for ur system | 08:31 |
| darkrubicant | I need to resolve that problem. with glxgears and glxinfo | 08:31 |
| mayank | which one? | 08:31 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: i downloaded the "suggestions" made by ubuntu society all but non-free (adobe) and it worked but always hangs during play | 08:31 |
| darkrubicant | My computer cannot find the appropriate driver for my monitor nor my video card. I also installed the nvidia graphics driver however I don't think it installed correctly | 08:31 |

| bo | anybody known: how to enable port on /home/user/ | 08:33 |
| outbackwifi | bo: what do you mean by port? | 08:33 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: the open alternatives do have problems - some things work, but others don't. So I use the proprietary one from adobe (which is now finally 64bit) and don't experience any problems | 08:33 |
| tsmith | I'm having trouble booting from an ubuntu dvd. my computer will boot from cds, but no dvds work. I tried the ubuntu dvd on another computer and it works fine. any suggestions? | 08:33 |
| eseven73 | ValentineXX: once you install it just type iftraf in a terminal because you probably wont have it in the menu. | 08:33 |
| outbackwifi | tsmith: do you have a dvd drive at all ? | 08:33 |
| saler | bo,port forward | 08:33 |
| raven_ | tsmith: Firmware upgrade? | 08:34 |
| bo | outbackwifi: web server port | 08:34 |
| ValentineXX | eseven73: yes thanks for telling that i am new at ubuntu | 08:34 |
| darkrubicant | outbackwifi, here is the pastebin I posted earlier, thank you for your patience and your willingness to try and tackle this problem. | 08:34 |

| tsmith | outbackwifi: yes, i have used dvds with this drive before. | 08:34 |
| outbackwifi | bo: do you mean you want to change document root to /home/user? | 08:34 |
| tsmith | outbackwifi: i mounted dvds in gentoo all the time, but i cant seem to boot off of one | 08:35 |
| ssapphiree | can someone tell me... what exactly is WPA-None? is it the only way of using WPA with ad-hoc? | 08:35 |
| Duke_ | darkrubicant: TiLP 2 is greyed out, it's already installed. Should I uninstall it and then reinstall it? | 08:35 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: the usual installation step by step like install instructions from adobe site? | 08:35 |
| bo | outbackwifi: yes | 08:35 |
| darkrubicant | duke_ remove the usb connector from your computer, restart the computer boot into ubuntu then plug in the usb cable again and tell me what happens please. | 08:35 |
| Duke_ | Alright | 08:35 |
| Duke_ | By usb connector, you just mean the cord, right? | 08:36 |
| darkrubicant | yes | 08:36 |
| Duke_ | alright | 08:36 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: I just did it from firefox, but downloading it from adobe and following the instructions will work as well | 08:36 |
| ethan | hey im running the latest version of ubuntu | 08:36 |
| gbear14275 | so... anyone have any recommendations for a bittorrent client? I'm having problems with transmission and my last foray into azureus dragged all sorts of problems concerning vuze along with it | 08:36 |
| ethan | and i cant get my | 08:36 |
| ethan | wireless to work | 08:36 |
| darkrubicant | gbear try ktorrent | 08:36 |

| ethan | can anyone help? | 08:37 |
| darkrubicant | ethan wireless is hard to get working on ubuntu, can you tell me what type of wireless card it is please. | 08:37 |
| darkrubicant | gbear14275, yes ktorrent has a gui | 08:37 |
| darkrubicant | so does the default bittorrent client that comes with ubuntu. | 08:37 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: azureus | 08:37 |
| raven_ | Transmition | 08:37 |
| rww | darkrubicant: that's Transmission, which gbear14275 is having problems with ;) | 08:37 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: maybe it sounds stupid but it doesnt work to me i tried both ways of installing adobe system tells it is installed but it simply doesnt work and firefox is still asking for him and when i try to install it system tells it is installed | 08:38 |
| k0d31 | is my computer cursed? | 08:38 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: rapidshare or megaupload are faster than torrent shit | 08:38 |
| k0d31 | for it* | 08:38 |
| gbear14275 | kelvin911: azureus now has vuze attached to it, and i've tried it twice, without vuze worked great! with vuze was a mess the standalone updater went horribly | 08:38 |
| ethan | how do i check? | 08:38 |
| darkrubicant | k0d31, are you talking about flash through adobe? | 08:38 |
| gbear14275 | kelvin911: I would love to know where you got that assumption | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: i have azureus without that vuze thing | 08:39 |
| darkrubicant | ethan you don't know what type of wireless card? | 08:39 |
| ethan | darkrubicant | 08:39 |
| ethan | ? | 08:39 |
| k0d31 | darkrubicant: yes | 08:39 |
| ValentineXX | eseven73: how to get iftraf? i got .tar.gz file how to install this file at ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: i can download from rapidshare 1200KB/s | 08:39 |
| ethan | im a noob | 08:39 |
| darkrubicant | ugh, is it external or internal? Are you using a laptop or a desktop? | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: i dwonload 700MB movie in 15 min | 08:39 |
| gbear14275 | kelvin911: also torrents have the benefit of community vetting | 08:39 |
| ethan | laptop | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: can u do that in torrent? | 08:39 |
| gbear14275 | kelvin, uh, yeah... easily | 08:39 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: check the plugin directory in your firefox installation and in you homedirectory settings for firefox (~/.mozilla/firefox/) | 08:39 |
| k0d31 | anarchia :) | 08:40 |
| darkrubicant | ok one second ethan | 08:40 |
| ethan | internal | 08:40 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: i bet u cant download at that speed with all torrent files | 08:40 |
| anarchia99 | olà | 08:40 |
| kelvin911 | only the one that with lots of seed | 08:40 |
| darkrubicant | ethan do some digging and follow this link | 08:40 |
| darkrubicant | http://www.linux.com/feature/56946 | 08:40 |
| gbear14275 | kelvin911: you are correct, but show me a a rapidshare library as large as the torrent clouds out there and free of viruses and malware and I'll stop using torrents | 08:41 |
| kelvin911 | rapidshare got no virus | 08:41 |
| kelvin911 | wait | 08:41 |
| darkrubicant | ethan I didn't mean literally, but you need to find out how to find your wireless card in your laptop. | 08:41 |
| anarchia99 | ola | 08:41 |
| darkrubicant | Perhaps speak to the person who made it for you. | 08:41 |
| raven_ | rapidshare is loaded with malware | 08:41 |

| outbackwifi | darkrubicant: yes that means you dont have hardware acceleration | 08:45 |
| outbackwifi | darkrubicant: so what is your card and what driver are you using for it? | 08:46 |
| moDumass | could be the unmounting issue | 08:46 |
| moDumass | seems this thumbdrive stops responding when i select "unmount" | 08:46 |

| Flannel | alex__: Reinstall | 08:50 |
| Flannel | !cloning | alex__ | 08:50 |
| ubottu | alex__: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 08:50 |

| timoroso | anyone with experience on ~/.gvfs/ mount points? | 08:51 |
| darkrubicant | it's possible it could be waiting for you to work with it. | 08:51 |

| k0d31 | miranda_psi: there is no plugin directory here | 08:51 |
| alex__ | Flannel: cool, i was hoping i could do something like sed s/x86/amd64/ -i /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:51 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | could anyone tell me the reason my pc keeps telling me i have insufficient privileges to mount a usb drive? | 08:52 |
| Flannel | alex__: Nope, unfortunately its not that simple | 08:52 |
| Duke_ | darkrubicant: nope, just CDROM and Filesystem | 08:52 |
| alex__ | Flannel: but thanks for the very helpful answer.. later! | 08:52 |

| miranda_psi | k0d31: there won't be in that directory - you need to go into the profile directory thats in there first (it has a random name) and if its installed globally in will be in the main install location (/usr/lib/firefox) | 08:57 |
| duquette | mayank, you have synaptic? | 08:57 |

| Smegzor | OMG! Jerry Lee Cooper was right! My fresh Ubuntu install is broken and underneath the menus, I can clearly see the Windows XP desktop (not kidding). | 09:00 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: it looks weird i have two directories here mozilla and mozilla-firefox | 09:00 |
| dx123 | thank you!! | 09:00 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: no firefox directory | 09:01 |
| Ward1983 | i once saw a demo at a ubuntu release party of multiple monitors / keyboard hooked up to one system, is there info on that somewhere? | 09:01 |
| Smegzor | I'm not sure how it happened, but the last thing I did was moved the XP boot (dual boot) so that it was the first item in the list, and I installed NVidia drivers. I rebooted and XP is now hiding under everything :O | 09:02 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Hummm, No audio, But i did hear the startup sound ubuntu plays, Any ideas? System/Prefenances/Sound/-Test sound doesnt play anything. | 09:02 |
| Ward1983 | i specifically would like to know what happens if i start the same program 4 times, once on each of my "virtual" ystems | 09:02 |
| rww | !ltsp | Ward1983: is this what you mean? | 09:02 |
| ubottu | Ward1983: is this what you mean?: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 09:02 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: what directory is this? | 09:02 |
| Ward1983 | rww, nope | 09:03 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: dont understand the question | 09:03 |
| Ward1983 | rww, 4 monitorsa and keyboard striaght to one system | 09:03 |
| rww | Ward1983: ah. not sure, then. | 09:03 |
| Ward1983 | rww, no networking required (well virtual only probably) | 09:03 |
| Ward1983 | rww, no prob | 09:04 |
| sarmisak | hi all | 09:04 |

| ethan | is my wireless | 09:04 |
| ethan | can someone help me set it up? | 09:05 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: thats possible - just find the right directory and then in the plugins directory create a sym link to the flash plugin | 09:05 |
| LeeJunFan | KDE4 is freaking awesome, it ticked me off so much I tried gnome for the first time in years and I like it! :) | 09:05 |
| k0d31 | miranda_psi: i thought about copying the files | 09:05 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, did you install from the ubuntu repository? | 09:05 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | lol LeeJunFan. | 09:06 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, well or any deb for that mather | 09:06 |
| fac3less | Here's my xorg.conf http://paste2.org/p/123512 -- I have a radeon 3850 & two vx922 viewsonic monitors. I'll paypal someone $25 for helping get these work :) | 09:06 |
| k0d31 | from deb | 09:06 |
| k0d31 | and from sources | 09:06 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, you can check for the installed files for the package in synaptic then | 09:06 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, (or aptitude if you use CLi only) | 09:07 |
| k0d31 | Ward1983: it says its installed but it doesnt work it installed wrong | 09:07 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, yes check the installed files, it will tell you every single file it installed, so you can find the dir it intslled too that way | 09:07 |
| Ward1983 | :s duno how i can be more clear | 09:07 |
| k0d31 | Ward1983: ok | 09:08 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, from deb AND from sources? | 09:08 |
| k0d31 | Ward1983: yes | 09:08 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, from deb AND from sources? | 09:08 |

| ValentineXX_ | in my sessions start up programs by mistake i have deleted check for hardware, pls tell me the command so i can add again | 09:10 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, so if the last time was from a deb, check in symaptic what files it installed (rightclick package then choose properties, then click the installed files tab) | 09:10 |
| k0d31 | Ward1983: i ll do that | 09:11 |

| === maco__ is now known as maco | ||
| bashca | how can update my ipw = intel network adapter on ubuntu intrepid ?? | 09:11 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, that way you should be able to find the dir, and you can try to make a symlink to the right dir like miranda_psi suggested | 09:11 |
| k0d31 | Ward1983: miranda_psi: why should I create sym links cant I just copy the files? | 09:12 |
| outbackwifi | bashca: it will get updated automatically everytime an update is released | 09:12 |

| gbear14275 | alright downloaded deluge and i can only downloard 1 torrent at a time... this is very odd | 09:13 |
| bashca | outbackwifi, i have problem on it i need to reinstall it ??? | 09:13 |
| outbackwifi | suigeneris: it depends on the laptop make/model | 09:13 |
| outbackwifi | bashca: what kind of problems ? | 09:13 |
| suigeneris | outbackwifi, toshiba a200-1m4 | 09:13 |
| pixelfairy | is there a way to enable guest session from the screen saver in gnome/ubuntu? | 09:14 |
| gbear14275 | no one | 09:14 |
| outbackwifi | suigeneris: there should be scripts inside your acpi directory for that laptop | 09:14 |
| miranda_psi | k0d31: copying the file in just won't work - symlinks redirect to the files location (in this case the plugin will need to interact with the other files and wont be able to if you copy it) | 09:14 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, so the files stay in the place apt installed them, and you wont waste diskapce, and you wont have the risk that other stuff depends on the files beign there, etc etc etc | 09:14 |
| Ward1983 | k0d31, its just the best way | 09:14 |
| suigeneris | outbackwifi, /etc/acpi? | 09:14 |
| bashca | outbackwifi, i can't connect to net using eth1 or eth0 ... | 09:15 |

| outbackwifi | bashca: are you using wifi or ethernet? | 09:16 |

| suigeneris | outbackwifi, there is no script there called hotkeys | 09:18 |

| outbackwifi | F: check that against the md5 on the site where you downloaded | 09:21 |

| ValentineXX | hateball: in launchpad there they asking in which package did you find this bug, what is that package? | 09:24 |
| suigeneris | douwe_, 2gb afaik | 09:24 |
| outbackwifi | suigeneris: whenever you press any hotkey, you should get acpi messages in /var/log/acpid | 09:24 |
| hateball | ValentineXX: nm-applet | 09:25 |
| sarmisak | douwe_, 2 GB is enough | 09:25 |
| outbackwifi | suigeneris: no idea about your laptop; i could help you with the eeepc though :) | 09:25 |

| outbackwifi | sorry | 09:27 |
| k0d31 | f:( | 09:27 |
| aremay | between awn and cairo dock, which one is better? | 09:28 |
| F | k0d31: what? | 09:28 |
| outbackwifi | !best | aremay | 09:28 |
| ubottu | aremay: 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. | 09:28 |
| k0d31 | nothing | 09:28 |
| Terrasque | douwe_: I would try without swap :) If a program start gobbling memory, swap is generally just painful. And you can use a file for swap if needed later | 09:28 |
| bashca | outbackwifi, it's difficult to explain .. dialup mean when using mdsl usb zte with gnome-ppp program | 09:28 |

| suigeneris | outbackwifi, that would be great | 09:31 |

| bony | outbackwifi, ok i tried it but i get an error message saying that i don't have permissions. but when i try to uploading single files they get uploaded | 09:34 |
| GreenDelta2 | hey, i have gparted and one HDD which is formated as ext3. how is it possible to part away a part of this ext3 (which fits in the rest of y hdd at the moment) and make it ntfs? i have ntfs tools installed, but the "New" button in gparted is deactivated | 09:34 |
| k0d31 | i blocked and cant unblock the option doesnt work | 09:34 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, ok, I had the same situation with my samsung, there are two different inputs available, if you are using the microphone installed near the keayboard then you should enable mic front | 09:34 |
| k0d31 | is there a bug in linux skype? | 09:34 |
| outbackwifi | bony: i would use an advanced ftp client like ncftp | 09:34 |
| outbackwifi | !info ncftp | 09:34 |
| ubottu | ncftp (source: ncftp): A user-friendly and well-featured FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:3.2.1-1 (intrepid), package size 490 kB, installed size 1104 kB | 09:34 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, if not and you are plugging in a microphone to the socket next to earphones, you should select mic | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info filezilla | 09:34 |
| ubottu | filezilla (source: filezilla): Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.2-0ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 1038 kB, installed size 2652 kB | 09:34 |
| mylisto | is that the default? | 09:35 |
| ValentineXX | k0d31: unblocking worked fine for me | 09:35 |
| kestutis | I can't find system > administration > services, and System-Preferences-Sessions doesn't should Apache as starting proccess, but it really starts automatically. | 09:35 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, it changes, just try changing some settings 'til you get some sound from your mic | 09:35 |
| F | k0d31: got it. thanks! | 09:35 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, you can use audacius to record first and see which one is working for you | 09:35 |
| k0d31 | F :) | 09:35 |
| F | but now there is a problem. my sound doesnt work! i dunno why. | 09:35 |

| bony | outbackwifi, ActionParsnip1 well i want a command like tool not a gui one i use gftp for gui. | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bony: the terminal has ftp features for command line ftp | 09:37 |
| outbackwifi | bony: ncftp is your friend | 09:37 |
| GreenDelta2 | hm, is it possible to change the size of the main partition on which linux is installed? (mountpoint: /) when i try to unmount it with gparted he says that he cnt unmount it and propably soething else is mounted on this partition, but there is nothing anymore | 09:37 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, you might try to be more specific on your problem maybe | 09:37 |
| mylisto | I try to call her | 09:37 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| mylisto | and the call doesn't go threw | 09:38 |
| === decay_ is now known as decay | ||
| mylisto | I get "problem with audio playback" | 09:38 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, might it be a router setup problem? maybe your router doesn't like skype | 09:38 |
| bony | ActionParsnip1, outbackwifi ok thanks a lot for the help i will check out ncftp and give a try. :-) | 09:38 |
| DragoraN | hi, how is called package which handles "command not found"? | 09:38 |
| mylisto | no router | 09:38 |
| mylisto | I had it working like two days ago | 09:38 |
| Arelis_ | I want to try out Ubuntu on my Mac to see if buying the Mac was indeed a good choice, however i do not want to damage anything on the Mac while i do want to try out Ubuntu to it's full experience. So that means somewhat installed, but also not. | 09:38 |
| Arelis_ | How? | 09:38 |
| Elladan | Holy crap Compiz is a buggy piece of garbage. | 09:38 |
| outbackwifi | DragoraN: its the shell | 09:39 |
| DragoraN | just found it | 09:39 |
| DragoraN | :) | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DragoraN: what command is not being found? | 09:39 |

| sarmisak | mylisto, ok, have you tried changing the settings in system > preferences > sound? | 09:39 |
| syntax\ | i have a problem tho, how can i set a static ip address and dns. | 09:39 |
| GreenDelta2 | doesnt anybody has a idea ow to change the size of the ain partition (mounted on /)?? | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: how much free space do you have on the partition where you download torrents to? | 09:39 |
| mylisto | nope | 09:40 |
| sarmisak | mylisto, try changing some of the settings there, maybe you should specifically select "pulse audio" for output. | 09:40 |
| outbackwifi | GreenDelta2: boot with the livecd and then use gparted | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | GreenDelta2: boot to live cd, you can use gparted to resize | 09:40 |
| GreenDelta2 | ok ty, i read that its not possible to use gparted on a live system. | 09:40 |
| mayank | ActionParsnipl, 57.6gb(enough for download) | 09:40 |

| Eugene_ | Is there a official tutorial on how to install ubuntu to SSD? | 09:41 |
| Elladan | I mean seriously, here are the complete and utter garbage bugs I've found just trying to use it at all: 1. Change screen resolution -> compiz explodes, whoops, ctrl-alt-bs. 2. Flip viewports around with keyboard shortcuts -> Compiz crashes about 10 times a day doing that with one of my video cards. 3. Mouse handling with zoom -> totally broken in so many ways. 4. If I leave Compiz running for a couple days on my work machine, I c | 09:41 |
| sarmisak | kamera, log it maybe? add "2>&1 >> /var/log/some_log_file" to your cron line | 09:42 |
| outbackwifi | kamera: it comes as a mail to the user who requested the job | 09:42 |
| mayank | ActionParsnipl, 57.6gb(enough for download) | 09:42 |

| syntax\ | thanks flannel. :) | 09:43 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How do i reinstall with apt-get? apt-get reinstall errors no such option. | 09:43 |
| Eugene_ | outbackwifi no im usnig a transcend SSD in my regular computer. | 09:43 |
| outbackwifi | kamera: generally the result of the cron job is mailed to the root user | 09:43 |
| Elladan | I mean shit, didn't someone actually check whether Compiz works with the "Screen Resolution" config tool (as opposed to, say, exploding in flames) before making it the Ubuntu default? W.T.F. | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: then i'd run an fsck on the partition, make sure you are downloading to the large partition. If you have made a small partition and are accidentally downloading there it will fill the partition nicely | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: you can check disk usage with df -h | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: this is support channel, not rant channel | 09:44 |
| kamera | outbackwifi but i havent set up a mail server on my ubuntu box? | 09:44 |
| OriWB | Can Someone help me install Skype on my darter 76? | 09:44 |
| outbackwifi | Eugene_: ive installed it to an SSD without any special tweaks other than no swap | 09:44 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: if you dont like it, don't use it | 09:44 |
| anarchia99 | olà | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: i think its garbage and use fluxbox instead | 09:44 |

| outbackwifi | kamera: then you can redirect output to a log file like sarmisak says | 09:44 |

| Eugene_ | nice | 09:44 |
| outbackwifi | Eugene_: yes | 09:44 |

| Eugene_ | also what packages are needed to use a atheros wifi dongles? | 09:45 |
| outbackwifi | kamera: like this ---> <sarmisak>kamera, log it maybe? add "2>&1 >> /var/log/some_log_file" to your cron line | 09:45 |
| Elladan | ActionParsnip1: It doesn't really even meet the basic "Does this software work?" bar of usability. I really have to question whether people were in their right minds making this thing the default window mgr. | 09:45 |

| mayank | ActionParsnipl, do i have to install fsck first from package manager? | 09:46 |

| OriWB | I get an i386 error when I try to install skype onto my darter. Can Someone help? | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: its open source, there are no garuntees of functionality or anything at all | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: if it breaks, you get both pieces | 09:48 |
| syntax\ | Flannel: is this ok? less /etc/network/interfaces shows auto lo, iface lo inet loopback | 09:48 |
| Elladan | ActionParsnip1: That's why we have these things called "distributions" where people collect working software into a functional package. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: some people run compiz with great success, I used to but grew to hate it | 09:48 |
| kamera | did i get it right outbackwifi? | 09:48 |
| outbackwifi | kamera: i guess so | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: indeed, but its still open source and has zero SLA | 09:48 |
| syntax\ | on the link u gave me, says there auto eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp | 09:49 |
| Elladan | ActionParsnip1: Well, I don't really have anything against the GUI design behind Compiz. The problem is that it's too buggy to really use. | 09:49 |
| Eugene_ | Elladan kwin produces very nice effects and does not suffer from all the same bugs that compiz does.. but there are probably others luking around =P | 09:49 |
| kamera | outbackwifi did you see my line above? | 09:49 |
| syncx | hi | 09:49 |
| syncx | may i ask | 09:49 |
| Flannel | syntax\ That's for your loopback (localhost) Those are the first two lines in the example on that page. You need to add more stuff (eth0 stuff) for static IP, not the auto stuff though, read further. | 09:49 |
| syncx | how to get this unaffiliated/<name> on stats? | 09:49 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | hello. | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: I think so too, some have great successes with it. If you want help with it, head into #compiz | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: just install fluxbox and all issues flutter away ;) | 09:50 |
| kamera | outbackwifi 0 0 * * * mysqlcheck -Aao -u root -p[password] > /var/log/mysqlstatus.log looks good? | 09:50 |
| outbackwifi | kamera: did you see mine below that? | 09:50 |
| outbackwifi | kamera: i guess so | 09:50 |
| gmathews | Does anyone know when getdeb .net will be working again? | 09:50 |

| sztomi | Hi. I installed gtk2-engines-qtcurve so that qt and gtk apps can have a unique look. My problem is that in Nautilus it uses kde icons, no matter which icons are set in Appearence. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? | 09:51 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | i try to partition my HD so that i can make it dual boot Vista-Linux but i have one problem: i want to leave only 20 out of 250 GB for the Vista, but when i choose to "shrink" the vista partition on the vista partition manager... it can not make the partition smallen than 100GB. | 09:51 |

| ActionParsnip1 | b0ef: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update | 09:52 |
| b0ef | ActionParsnip1: thanks; I'll try | 09:52 |
| outbackwifi | mayank: it is generally installed as part of the base system | 09:52 |
| sztomi | Mageiriki-me-bas: have you tried the partitioning program included in ubuntu installer? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: its a standard command, the disks need to be unmounted so I'd run it from livecd, or theres aswitch you can use on the shutdown command to make it happen next boot | 09:52 |
| syntax\ | Flannel: finished changing, also restarted the service but if i do ifconfig, its still the same. | 09:52 |
| mker | Mageiriki-me-bas, it can be risky shrinking the partition, hope you know that. Make sure to backup | 09:52 |
| mayank | ActionParsnipl, if i logout then run this command..so? | 09:53 |
| mayank | ActionParsnipl, i mean ctrl+alt+f2 | 09:53 |
| Elladan | ActionParsnip1: Also, when I found that the compiz package maintainers "solved" the bug "compiz crashes my computer with XXX video driver" by placing a card blacklist in a shell script, I was forced to wonder whether they should really be allowed near a computer at all. | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: the partitions are still mounted | 09:54 |
| mayank | ok | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Elladan: take it up with them | 09:54 |
| mayank | live cd is a better idea | 09:54 |

| Eugene_ | maverick340 Rhythmbox and beep media player is available for such purposes i guess. | 10:06 |
| Elladan | rhythmbox has been skipping badly for me the last few releases. | 10:06 |
| Tester_ | I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition, version for old x86 PC's, image name is ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso . I installed it on relatively new AMD Athlon 64 PC (and it works there), then unplugged the disk and moved it to old P75. There I receive bug that kernel needs CPU with CMOV and PAE features support. What can I do, I can't install Linux directly on P75, it is unable to read anything from CD/DVD. | 10:06 |
| pop79 | Rythmbox plays one song then crashes on my ubuntu 8.10 | 10:06 |

| Accidus | I'm having problems with my connection. Under Vista, everything seems to work fine. Under Ubuntu (8.10), normal surfing works fine, but when I try to do interactive stuff (gmail, facebook, banking, posting forum messages) things don't work properly. It takes ages to submit form and then nothing happens, etc. I've talked to my ISP and he said they're not doing anything special and that if it works under Vista it should work on Ubuntu. So what | 10:07 |
| Accidus | can be the problem? | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CoUrPsE|DeAd: sorry its so big | 10:07 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | No problem, | 10:07 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, DNS Address ? | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | b0ef: i'd backup the file then add the colon to the file yourself, if its bad, restore the old file | 10:07 |
| Eugene_ | Accidus what web browser are you using, and do you have any extensions that can cause this behaviour? | 10:07 |
| pop79 | Accidus: i am fixing a pc and have the exact same problem as you are | 10:07 |
| maverick340 | maybe you specified one in Vista | 10:07 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Looks alright. | 10:07 |
| Accidus | pop79: Really? Any success? | 10:08 |
| pop79 | no | 10:08 |
| outbackwifi | Tester_: can you do a network install? | 10:08 |

| sztomi | this is a screenshot of the problem: http://kepfeltoltes.hu/090102/ikonok_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg | 10:08 |
| Elladan | Tester_: You need to boot with a lighter kernel. | 10:08 |
| pop79 | my friend asked me to put vista on it | 10:08 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, try using OpenDNS - worked for me for a similar problem | 10:08 |
| Accidus | Eugene_: Firefox. I have the 0.8 gnome enhancement extension, but disabling it doesn't seem to make any difference | 10:08 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Welp, apparently xine cant detect any audio drivers. That could be well why Rythmbox kept freezing i guess. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: try making a new user and see if it works under the new account | 10:09 |
| pop79 | im having more trouble with my ati card. it dosnt seem to be supported | 10:09 |
| Elladan | Tester_: With a P75, you might try throwing a working kernel on a floppy or something. | 10:09 |
| maverick340 | doesnt Rhythmbox use gstreamer ? | 10:09 |
| Accidus | Maverick340: I thought about DNS problems, but I can access the website, it's just the interactive stuff that's problematic | 10:09 |
| pop79 | my ati raedon card is a raedon xpress 200 | 10:09 |
| Eugene_ | sztomi after selecting the icons you want, you need to restart nautilus.. and since the desktop is also nautilus on gnome.. that too have to be restarted. | 10:09 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, maybe try disabling plugins | 10:10 |
| Tester_ | Not sure how to install Ubuntu through network, I haven't seen anything about this type of install on ubuntu web. | 10:10 |
| blah569 | How do I give "TextEditor" permission to write to var/www ? | 10:10 |
| sztomi | I'll try that. thanks | 10:10 |
| Eugene_ | Tester_im doing a net-boot right now. | 10:10 |
| pop79 | Accidus: Go to applications, add/remove and look for epiphanny | 10:10 |
| Accidus | maverick340: I don't think it's plugins. It was happening from the first day I installed ubuntu + firefox. | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: if its a gui app, use gksudo, if its a terminal app, use sudo | 10:10 |
| outbackwifi | blah569: you dont give permissions to apps, only to users | 10:10 |
| jacky | umm this might be a stupid question, but when i did a restart of ubuntu desktop 8.10, none of the changes made were persistent | 10:11 |
| Accidus | pop79: It's not installed | 10:11 |
| jacky | im bootng off a usb stick, and used the unetbootin tool to put it on there. i assumed that the usb was treated as a drive, but am i wrong? | 10:11 |
| pop79 | Accidus: install it | 10:11 |
| lonejack | When I launch reproduction on rythmbox it doesn't work. Probably there's a bug on ubuntu(8.04). This problem generally happens when I see a movie under FF. Can someone tell me how to discover what devs are actually occupying the audio channel... | 10:11 |
| Accidus | Ah, right. | 10:11 |
| Accidus | Just a sec. | 10:12 |
| maverick340 | there is plugin installed in Ubuntu Firefox by default , hardly think that could be a problem but try disabling it | 10:12 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How do i reinstall sound drivers? | 10:12 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I cant seem t oget sound on anything anymore. Apart from Skype works. | 10:12 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Nothing else does. | 10:12 |
| blah569 | What would it be? gksudo textedit? Because 'textedit' returns command not found. | 10:12 |
| Invisible_Slack | I have 2x 22" Wide Screen Monitors can I "Span" them or do they have to "Mirror" each other only? | 10:12 |
| maverick340 | blah569, gedit i think | 10:12 |
| Elladan | Tester_: I think all you need to do is boot a generic kernel instead of the server kernel. | 10:12 |
| pop79 | when i start my | 10:12 |
| pop79 | oopus | 10:12 |
| mayank | where i find doom for ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| syntax\ | err nevermind. | 10:13 |
| blah569 | maverick340: Thanks | 10:13 |
| Eugene_ | mayank doom as in the old game? | 10:13 |
| maverick340 | mayank, http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=48 | 10:13 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Invisible_Slack, Use 'multi screens' to change where the monitors are, and in prefences/screen resolution uncheck mirror. | 10:13 |
| pop79 | when i start my Acer pc, it sometimes dosent load the GRUB menu | 10:13 |
| sztomi | Eugene_: I restarted X with ctrl-alt-backspace, and now it works. Thank you for your help. | 10:13 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: depends on your videocard how much pixels it can handle | 10:13 |
| mayank | doom 3 or any good game for ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: doom3 has a native installer from ID software | 10:14 |
| maverick340 | I like alien arena :-) | 10:14 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: I have a 8800 GTX OC Edition with 768mb of DDR2 Ram, it can handle it | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: it also runs aweomse under wine | 10:14 |
| albech | how do i change so the active window is where the mouse is over? | 10:14 |
| Eugene_ | mayank doom3 can be bought at most computer stores, and quake4 and all the unreal tournament games comes with linux binaries. | 10:14 |
| umar | how to use man in ubuntu ? | 10:14 |
| albech | i used to have this in 8.04 | 10:14 |
| Accidus | maverick340: Do you think it's a DNS problem? I can lookup the sites alright, it's just that when I do interactive stuff things don't work properly. | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: theres also a doom client which you can put any .wad in and play doom | 10:14 |
| maverick340 | um man <command> | 10:14 |
| pop79 | can anybody link me to a site for drivers of ATI raedon xpress 200? | 10:14 |
| Invisible_Slack | CoUrPsE|DeAd: I've unchecked Mirror in the Display Properties but they are still "mirroring" and it only shows 1 monitor in Properties, i haven't enabled the Nvidia restricted drivers yet that might be the 1st problem | 10:15 |
| maverick340 | umar, man <command> | 10:15 |
| Elladan | albech: System -> Preferences -> Windows | 10:15 |
| mayank | maverick340, the link u gave me, i go there and just download 25 mb of doom, i download and play....thats it? | 10:15 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, did you try any other browser ? | 10:15 |
| pop79 | Accidus: did you install Epiphanny | 10:15 |
| albech | Elladan: ahh thanks.. was looking for in under System- --> Preferences --> Mouse | 10:15 |
| mayank | http://www.liflg.org/?what=dl&catid=6&gameid=48&filename=doom3_1.3.1.1304-multilanguage.run,is this usefull? | 10:15 |
| maverick340 | mayank, like ActionParsnip1 said - there is a native Doom3 installer . Try that maybe | 10:16 |
| Tester_ | OK, where can I find such kernel, how to "install" it correctly on that Linux HDD and what else I have to do? For example, I guess it will need some modules for things that are not directly in kernel. | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: yeah that will install doom3 as a native linux app | 10:16 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: is the amount X and Y it can produce, not how fast it can spin its fan | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: just pop in your cd and install away | 10:16 |
| pop79 | when my GRUB menu loads, it displays a whole lot of "linux kernals"???? should they be there | 10:16 |
| mayank | i don;t understand, doom3 of 25mb only, i download then what? | 10:16 |
| Elladan | Tester_: I'm guessing the easiest thing is to pull the disk out again, and install the generic kernel on the machine that works, and then move it back again. | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tester_: the install cd will take care of that for you, you will need to install packages or compile source for any additional modules you may neeed | 10:17 |
| maverick340 | pop79, you can remove the old kernal boot lines | 10:17 |
| pop79 | hiow? | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: yeah, thats the linux installer, you need your game cd to install it | 10:17 |
| Accidus | pop79, maverick340: Okay, other browser works great! | 10:17 |
| Elladan | Tester_: You can just install linux-image-generic with apt-get and such. | 10:17 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: I understand that, just changed over from Kubuntu today, installed it after a while being on windows and hate the new plasmiods, on Kubuntu even with Nvidia Restricted Drivers it wouldn't do anything but mirror that is why I ask | 10:17 |
| pop79 | good Accidus | 10:17 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, :-) | 10:17 |
| Accidus | pop79, maverick340: At least for the first few things I'm trying | 10:17 |
| maverick340 | try reinstalling firefox | 10:17 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: and yes I know its not how fast the fans spin, but with this card I can make it sing if the code is right hence why I ask how to do it ;) | 10:17 |
| mayank | maverick340, i have age of empires 2, i like that game a lot, but when i play it with wine its play too slow...why? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: you could rename your ~/.mozilla folder to get a stock folder to test | 10:18 |
| jrgp | mayank, wine isn't good with most games | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: try altering settings for wine for that game | 10:18 |
| Tester_ | That's the problem, I forgot to mention it... I thought I will compile my own kernel without these features, but it's only very old and small HDD, there is almost no space left after system install. I can't download kernel source and compiler, there is simply not enough room for that. | 10:18 |
| Eugene_ | mayank try running it in a window instead of fullscreen. As AOE2 is 16bit colour, this may cause the troubles... same applies for Starcraft and a few other games. | 10:18 |
| maverick340 | mayank, try searching here : http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !appdb | mayank | 10:18 |
| ubottu | mayank: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 10:18 |
| Accidus | ActionParsnip1: What do you mean by stock folder? (as you guessed, English is not my native language) | 10:18 |
| Elladan | Tester_: It would also be possible to make some sort of boot disk, but you said your cdrom doesn't work in the old computer, so I'm guessing that would be a pain in the butt. | 10:18 |
| maverick340 | some games dont run well with Wine | 10:18 |
| pop79 | guys, im on windows. ill be back on ubuntu in a minute | 10:19 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I have no sound, can someone please help me? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: when you first installed ubuntu, you did not have a firefox profile, when you first run it, one is created | 10:19 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | :( | 10:19 |
| Eugene_ | CoUrPsE|DeAd have you installed ALSA and alsa-oss? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: so if you rename your current profile, firefox will think its yur first run and make a stock profile with no settings or plugins | 10:19 |
| mayank | Actionparsnipl, i don;t have any game cd, i want to download games for ubuntu..thats it | 10:19 |
| Elladan | Tester_: It sounds like you're going to need to build everything on your new computer, and then move it over. | 10:19 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I'd assume so, sound was working yesturday, but now nothing. | 10:19 |
| Accidus | Actionparsnip1: Ah, thanks. I'll try that before reinstalling then. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: you can then test, if that works, you have some setting in your system preventing what you want to do. you can also rename back so you lose nothing | 10:20 |
| mayank | maverick340, and how can i play aoe2 window screen? | 10:20 |
| Eugene_ | CoUrPsE|DeAd if you try to use the gnome-volume-control... what does it say? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: you can achieve the same a lot safer by creating a new user | 10:20 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Eugene_, It loads fine. | 10:20 |
| maverick340 | mayank, try isntalling windows in a virtualbox and run AOE2 on it ! | 10:20 |
| Eugene_ | mayank run winecfg and set windowed mode as default in the checkbox. | 10:20 |
| lakis1982 | hello . i have kubuntu 8.10 ... how can i search for updates for my kubuntu ??? | 10:20 |
| kestutis | how to browse file an folders as root? | 10:21 |
| Eugene_ | CoUrPsE|DeAd Broken speakers? | 10:21 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: 2560x1600 <-- this appears the max voor the videocard | 10:21 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Nope, Speakers are fine. | 10:21 |
| Eugene_ | kestutis in graphical mode try gksudo nautilus. | 10:21 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: its on 1650x1050 if I remember correct way under the max setting, my problem is Monitor 1 & 2 are showing the same.. I want it to "Span" across is that possible? | 10:21 |
| Elladan | CoUrPsE|DeAd: Do you have a wild pulseaudio process or something? Or is some app hogging your audio? | 10:22 |
| Eugene_ | CoUrPsE|DeAd and its not muted or so... | 10:22 |
| Accidus | pop79, maverick340, Actionparsnip1: I renamed the folder and things still don't work properly. I think I'll reinstall. | 10:22 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: not trying to do anything that is not capable of doing | 10:22 |
| mayank | winecfg does not have window screen mode option.. | 10:22 |
| Eugene_ | mayank it should have... virtual desktop i think its called nowdays. | 10:22 |
| Elladan | CoUrPsE|DeAd: I've had to go on a hunt for pulseaudio and shoot it before. | 10:22 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, yep you are better of doing that ! | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: good move | 10:22 |
| kestutis | what does gksudo do? | 10:23 |
| maverick340 | mayank, Virtual Box ->from Add/Remove | 10:23 |
| mayank | i have already tried in virtualbox but no luck | 10:23 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: that whould mean your card should be able tot 3300x1050 != 2560x1600 | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kestutis: runs graphical apps with sudo access | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: games dont run great in VMs | 10:23 |
| mayank | yes..true | 10:23 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: its able to do what I'm asking to do, I just need help on finding out how to configure it to do what i"m wanting to | 10:23 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Elladan, Thanks man, killed all pulseaudio and now its working. | 10:23 |
| mayank | i know ubuntu not good in games...is there any good games for ubuntu only???? | 10:24 |
| maverick340 | mayank, its best to keep a small windows partition if you like playing games | 10:24 |
| outbackwifi | !games | 10:24 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 10:24 |
| Eugene_ | ActionParsnip1 I get 17k 3dmarks when running in a Virtual Machine... works mighty fine if i can say so. | 10:24 |
| deaddebate | I've been having problems launching a live fedora and ubuntu. I had recently been kicking around with fedora 10 install and this is what happens when i try to boot: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/Michiru889/IMG_0031.jpg ; then http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/Michiru889/IMG_0031.jpg , then a monitor error of http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/Michiru889/IMG_0031.jpg | 10:24 |
| mayank | yeah i know | 10:24 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: go to the terminal and configure it with xrandr | 10:24 |
| Katangawise | Hi all! Somebody knows how can I open RAR archive in ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| pop79 | how do you get commands for the bot | 10:24 |
| deaddebate | i got the same monitor error for the Ubuntu Ibex distro | 10:24 |
| Eugene_ | Katangawise install file-roller and unrar... | 10:24 |
| rww | !list | pop79 | 10:24 |
| ubottu | pop79: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 10:24 |
| maverick340 | Katangawise, sudo apt-get install rar | 10:25 |
| pop79 | thanks rrw | 10:25 |
| maverick340 | Katangawise, then use File Roller | 10:25 |
| blah569 | How would I delete files in a directory that requires admin permissions? Open the file explorer with sudo? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Eugene_: very bad judge of performance | 10:25 |
| maverick340 | blah569, sudo rm <dir> | 10:25 |
| Ward1983 | is it somehow possible to get working sound like back in 2006? | 10:25 |
| Eugene_ | blah569 you can do that.. or use the terminal. | 10:25 |
| maverick340 | my bad, rmdir | 10:25 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: The Video is working at the right size, that is not my problem.. I'm wanting DV1 *as main* and DV2 as "Expanded desktop" not "Mirroring DV1" | 10:25 |
| Ward1983 | my sound never worked decent after 2006... | 10:25 |
| pop79 | i have lots of linux kernals but i dont know how to delete them. what do i do? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Eugene_: 3d mark and aqua mark will give hugely different scores as they work differently | 10:25 |
| Katangawise | Eugene_, maverick340 Thanks a lot!!! :) | 10:25 |
| Elladan | CoUrPsE|DeAd: pulseaudio seems to be a rather bad idea, overall. | 10:25 |
| blah569 | maverick340: A, thanks | 10:25 |
| Ward1983 | its like uubntu wa better those days | 10:26 |
| === fw1 is now known as incorrect | ||
| Ward1983 | and im getting really really really tired of my sound not working | 10:26 |
| Eugene_ | ActionParsnip1 but running a old 2d game in a Vitual desktop will probably not decrease speeds... | 10:26 |
| Ward1983 | so how to fix it???? | 10:26 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: for spanning, your card needs to be able to handle the virtual desktop size, and the maths show differently | 10:26 |
| pop79 | Ward1983: what is wrong with your sound? | 10:26 |
| Eugene_ | Ward1983 remove pulseaudio and install some other sound daemone.. +OSS then it should work fine | 10:27 |
| maverick340 | pop79, edit your /boot/grub/menu.st | 10:27 |
| Invisible_Slack | hspaans: your telling me I can't span? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Eugene_: if it runs fine, its all good :) | 10:27 |
| pop79 | ok | 10:27 |
| _UMBRO_ | ALguém pra me dar suporte em português? | 10:27 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: if it doesn't fit in 2560x1600, no | 10:27 |
| pop79 | maverick340: how do i do that? | 10:27 |
| deaddebate | is therre a better irc for requesting help? | 10:28 |
| savvas | !pt | _UMBRO_ | 10:28 |
| ubottu | _UMBRO_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 10:28 |
| Eugene_ | hehe installing on the ssd sure si slow. | 10:28 |
| _UMBRO_ | !pt | 10:28 |
| maverick340 | pop79, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:28 |
| b0ef | ActionParsnip1: right, he had some major corruptions in that file; somehow parts of /var/log/kern.log was in that file along with a massive load of "@" characters. Any idea what it might be?; corrupt HD? | 10:28 |
| maverick340 | make sure you backup your boot file first | 10:28 |
| pop79 | thank you maverick340 | 10:28 |
| Ward1983 | Eugene_, "some other sound deamons" yes maybe i should apt-get some more crap to make it more complicated | 10:28 |
| maverick340 | pop79, sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup | 10:29 |
| Ward1983 | pop79, my sound crackes if i leave the PC for a while | 10:29 |
| pop79 | weird | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | b0ef: check hd if you suspect it | 10:29 |
| blah569 | How would I reference to "filesystem?" Similar to C: on Winblows. | 10:29 |
| hspaans | Invisible_Slack: lower your resolutions to say 1280x1024 you should be able to place and left or right of the other with xrandr | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: no such thing | 10:29 |
| blah569 | I'm trying to sudo rm var/www | 10:29 |
| blah569 | however this directory nests inside of filesystem | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: you have a filesystem made of folders, some are folders, some are mount points | 10:29 |
| savvas | blah569: execute this command in terminal: mount | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: but as you look at it, its a flat file system | 10:30 |
| mayank | ok...i have installed opera from opera.com for ubuntu, after installation can't find it anywhere... | 10:30 |
| pop79 | maverick340: how should i configure it | 10:30 |
| hspaans | mayank: how did you install it? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mayank: run it from terminal | 10:30 |
| mayank | no | 10:30 |
| mayank | downloaded from www.opera.com | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !opera | mayank | 10:31 |
| ubottu | mayank: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 10:31 |
| savvas | blah569: you'll see the /dev/sd* to be linked to folder/mount points. /dev/ files represent your partitions/devices in this case | 10:31 |
| hspaans | mayank: there is a working package in ubuntu | 10:31 |
| SeySayux | hello, how do I configure timidity as a midi server? timidity itself seems to work already. | 10:31 |
| mayank | not opera...i have searched it | 10:31 |
| hspaans | mayank: read the link from ubottu | 10:31 |
| maverick340 | mayank, Alt+F2 type opera | 10:31 |
| maverick340 | pop79, your boot file ? | 10:32 |
| pop79 | i opened it | 10:32 |
| SlimG | Where do I set Ubuntu to find proxyservers automatically? | 10:32 |
| pop79 | what do i do with it | 10:32 |
| savvas | blah569: "/" is the "root" - holds everything inside your system. "/home" is the home where everything, including settings when you start applications for each user, e.g. /home/yourusername/. the rest you can find more at: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html | 10:32 |
| glyph` | hello, while doing `apt-get update` the process stops on getting data from repository.akirad.net. is it safe to disable this repository? | 10:32 |
| kestutis | Do i have to install FTP server ir order to transfer files by SSH? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | glyph`: you can disable any you like | 10:33 |
| outbackwifi | glyph`: why did you add it | 10:33 |
| kestutis | or i just have SSH server? | 10:33 |
| outbackwifi | kestutis: no, you use scp | 10:33 |
| kestutis | what is SCP? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !scp | 10:33 |
| ubottu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 10:33 |
| glyph` | outbackwifi: I didn't. it was on by default. | 10:33 |
| mayank | maverick340, i have typed opera in alt+f2, i says Error stating file '/home/mayank/opera': No such file or directory | 10:33 |
| outbackwifi | kestutis: and ssh server if you want someone to upload files to your machine | 10:33 |
| outbackwifi | !ssh | kestutis | 10:34 |
| ubottu | kestutis: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 10:34 |
| glyph` | outbackwifi: I'd disable it immideately, but I don't get any dist-upgrades for a week or so. it makes me wonder. | 10:34 |
| kestutis | How to get something like WinSCP for ubuntu? | 10:34 |
| sybux | Hi all, I've got a little problem with evolution. I want to create a rule to move SPAM to a specific folder but every time I apply the filter I've got the following error message : Cannot get folder 'SPAM' : folder doesn't exist. I'm sure the folder exist I can see it in the left pane. Anyone got an idea ? | 10:34 |
| pop79 | mayank: download Opera from the Add/Remove place | 10:35 |
| outbackwifi | glyph`: you wont get dist upgrades for 6 months at least | 10:35 |
| Accidus | pop79, maverick340, Actionparsnip1: Reinstalled firefox, didn't help | 10:35 |
| pop79 | hmm | 10:35 |
| tonyyarusso | kestutis: It's already installed. The scp command is standard. | 10:35 |
| glyph` | kestutis: you don't. you've got all the necessary things already | 10:35 |
| Accidus | pop79, maverick340, Actionparsnip1: I'm keeping the conf file aside so we could work with a fresh clean copy | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Accidus: try a new user, you may want to remove the new .mozilla folder and restore your backed up settings | 10:35 |
| glyph` | outbackwifi: why is that? | 10:35 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, hard luck.Try firefox forums | 10:35 |
| pop79 | try firefox 2, accidus | 10:35 |

| kestutis | so, how to connect to external server with SCP? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !scp | kestutis | 10:37 |
| ubottu | kestutis: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 10:37 |
| outbackwifi | kestutis: scp user@servernameorip:srcfiles dstfiles | 10:37 |
| glyph` | outbackwifi: so if I had decided to stay on 8.04, then no updates for a half of the year? isn't it LTS? | 10:37 |
| gmathews | kestutis: u can use filezilla to connect just change the protocol from ftp to scp in it | 10:37 |
| outbackwifi | glyph`: you will get security updates not dist upgrades | 10:37 |
| glyph` | outbackwifi: ah, ok, fine then. | 10:38 |
| gmathews | kestutis: its called SFTP in filezilla | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !hardy | glyph` | 10:38 |
| ubottu | glyph`: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 10:38 |
| Accidus | pop79: Where can I get firefox 2.0 from? It doesn't appear in my synaptic... | 10:38 |
| glyph` | !lts | glyph` | 10:38 |
| ubottu | glyph`, please see my private message | 10:38 |
| kestutis | i don't have filezilla, i just want to connect to my VPS. when i had Windows, i used WinSCP. | 10:38 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 10:38 |
| hspaans | Accidus: ff2 is EOL so its not shipped anymore | 10:38 |
| kestutis | now, i dont have anything | 10:38 |
| gmathews | kestutis: sudo apt-get install filezilla | 10:39 |
| gmathews | !filezilla | kestutis | 10:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about filezilla | 10:39 |
| gmathews | ;/ | 10:39 |
| kestutis | SCP in other words is SFTP? | 10:40 |
| Flannel | kestutis: Not quite. But they're related. | 10:40 |
| gmathews | SFTP = SSH file transfer protocol | 10:40 |
| outbackwifi | kestutis: no sftp lets you browse, scp doesnt | 10:40 |
| pop79 | Accidus, get it in add/remove | 10:40 |
| kgodwin | Places -> Connect to Server -> Change Service type to SSH | 10:41 |
| kgodwin | for SFTP | 10:41 |
| Tekno | outbackwifi: scp lets browse too | 10:41 |
| kgodwin | if you did a desktop install | 10:41 |
| Tester_ | kestutis: the good thing about SCP is, you don't have to have FTP server installed on the PC you want to be connected to. You only need ssh, which is almost on all Linux distributions by default, no need to configure it. | 10:42 |
| sybux | in Evolution, how to move email on a specific folder ? I can only do that to a local folder | 10:42 |
| Tekno | ubuntu doesnt have ssh by default :p | 10:42 |
| gmathews | !openssh | 10:42 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 10:42 |
| scizzo- | Tekno: you mean a server for it | 10:43 |
| Tekno | yea | 10:43 |
| Tekno | ssh -package | 10:43 |
| kgodwin | Eh Tekno...the server distribution sort of does ;) | 10:43 |
| Tekno | serverside | 10:43 |
| scizzo- | Tekno: ssh is standard I believe but not the ssh server | 10:43 |
| kgodwin | You just have to hit space. | 10:43 |
| kestutis | i have installed SSH. | 10:43 |
| Tester_ | Tekno: You can select SSH server during install, at least that's what I was able to do when I was installing it few days ago. | 10:43 |
| kgodwin | Yep | 10:43 |
| Tekno | Tester_: you had alternate install ? | 10:44 |
| kgodwin | isn't on the desktop install tho ;( | 10:44 |
| kestutis | by the way, where to find (how to open) installed Filezilla? | 10:44 |
| Flannel | Tekno: It's not installed by default however | 10:44 |
| Tester_ | Tekno: Yes, I had Server Edition which comes with alternate installer by default. | 10:44 |
| Tekno | yap | 10:44 |
| === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik | ||
| scizzo- | kgodwin: thats because its not considered a server.....its considered a "client" towards other machines | 10:44 |
| Flannel | Server edition isn't the same as the alternate installer, for the record. | 10:44 |
| Tekno | but you can choose it in alternate | 10:45 |
| pop79 | how do i talk to the bot | 10:45 |
| Tester_ | Flannel: No it isn't, but it is closer to it then standard desktop edition | 10:45 |
| kestutis | i have open Filezilla for the first time. | 10:45 |
| kestutis | what i have to configure? | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ubottu | pop79 | 10:45 |
| ubottu | pop79: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 10:45 |
| Flannel | Tekno: Not quite. You can choose a command line only install. | 10:45 |
| pop79 | thanks | 10:45 |
| Flannel | Tester_: That's not true, Alternate CD can install a regular desktop install, or a command line install (or if you go into expert mode, anything you want, etc) | 10:46 |

| Accidus | maverick340, pop79: New user doesn't work, can't find the 2.0 version. I'll go and bug the #firefox guys. | 10:49 |
| maverick340 | Accidus, or use Opera | 10:50 |
| maverick340 | Opera 10 is really fast IMO | 10:50 |
| pop79 | Try chrome, google chrome. i know how to get it on ubuntu, Accidus | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | maverick340: i prefer it, people seem firefox brainwashed | 10:50 |
| Accidus | pop79: We've already tried another web browser. the problem is with firefox... | 10:50 |
| kgodwin | We aren't firefoxed brainwashed | 10:50 |
| Accidus | pop79: Or is there some other reason? | 10:50 |
| kgodwin | we just know it is better than other browsers most of the time ;) | 10:50 |
| glyph` | ActionParsnip1: I'd use it, but without wine. | 10:50 |
| hspaans | Accidus: which problem? | 10:50 |
| pop79 | it is fast and not reliable :), Accidus | 10:51 |

| sybux | in Evolution, how to move email on a specific folder ? I can only do that to a local folder | 10:51 |
| glyph` | nightly build is pretty stable | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kgodwin: its a bit slow, i use opera most days and firefox for sites that dont like opera | 10:51 |
| Slart | Lukemob: try ulimit | 10:51 |
| pop79 | Accidus: are you on skype? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kgodwin: although it did run better after I apt-build installed it | 10:52 |
| Slart | Lukemob: not sure if it can do what you want but it's the closest I know of | 10:52 |
| Lukemob | Slart, ahh thanks a lot mate | 10:52 |
| Lukemob | i will look for it | 10:52 |
| Accidus | hspaans: Interactive sites does't work properly. Surfing normal sites work just fine, but when I'm submitting data or surfing in more complex sites (gmail, facebook, banking) it starts loading and never finishes. (I don't think it's a dns problem because the sites do load. Problems start afterwards) | 10:52 |
| Sara_ | can anyone tell me why i cant download skype on to my dell 9 mini | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !skype | Sara_ | 10:52 |
| ubottu | Sara_: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 10:53 |
| Accidus | pop79: Do you mean if I have a skype user, or whether I'm using skype atm? | 10:53 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Um, Just restarted pc, and now i dont have gstreamer when i click on the volume control. | 10:53 |
| ikonia | Sara_: how are you trying to download it ? | 10:53 |
| ikonia | !skype > Sara_ | 10:53 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How do i reinstall gstreamer ? | 10:53 |
| kgodwin | Ugh I hate sites that require IE | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kgodwin: its a good browser | 10:53 |
| kestutis | anybody could try to connect to my mysql | 10:53 |
| ikonia | CoUrPsE|DeAd: open synaptic go to the package and mark for re-install | 10:53 |
| pop79 | Accidus: i mean are you on skype and you can talk now | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kgodwin: ies4linux ;) | 10:53 |
| ikonia | kestutis: why ?# | 10:53 |
| ikonia | kestutis: what do you want ? | 10:53 |
| maverick340 | CoUrPsE|DeAd aah the no gstreamer control found problem | 10:53 |
| ikonia | pop79: please don't solicit people in this channel | 10:54 |
| maverick340 | CoUrPsE|DeAd, seems like Alsa is broken | 10:54 |
| Accidus | pop79: I am on skype, but my mics not working properly | 10:54 |
| kestutis | i want to check if it works out of localhost. | 10:54 |
| pop79 | ok | 10:54 |
| Accidus | Are you in the UK by any chance? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | kestutis: then use mysql -h to test it | 10:54 |
| ikonia | Accidus: yes, why ? | 10:54 |
| kestutis | mysql -h server.adress ? | 10:54 |
| Accidus | ikonia: nm | 10:54 |
| ikonia | Accidus: ? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | kestutis: -h is the hostname you want to connect to | 10:55 |
| Stanlin | HELP When i run ubuntu 8,10 as VM (vmware), HOW to install the VMtools? | 10:56 |
| kestutis | i can't check because i am under NAT anyway. | 10:56 |
| ikonia | Stanlin: your running ubuntu 8.10 as a vmware host or guest ? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | kestutis: it doesn't matter | 10:56 |
| ikonia | kestutis: use -h external-hostname and it will test it just the same | 10:56 |
| Stanlin | ikonia: as guest | 10:57 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I reinstalled alsa, Now reinstalling everythying i had that had gstreamer in the name, thanks ikonia. | 10:57 |
| kestutis | ikonia: it matters a lot. i even can't check websites with http://my_external_ip | 10:57 |
| debasys | i am having a bit of trouble with GRUB while dual booting with XP. i have a space PC with 2 HDDs... one of them is primary & has XP installed in some portions. In rest empty space of the same HDD i installed Ubuntu, it does recognise XP prior to installation but after rebooting i see the XP entry on GRUB but can't boot into XP, booting into Ubuntu works fine | 10:57 |
| ikonia | Stanlin: then #vmware is the best place to ask, as if it's not in the repos its not an ubuntu product | 10:57 |
| debasys | so i am ready to reinstall Ubuntu.... now where should i install my GRUB? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | kestutis: but your on the local host so using the external hostname will test it the same as someone external | 10:58 |
| ikonia | debasys: on your boot disks mbr | 10:58 |
| debasys | is that the default (hd0) or the /dev/sdb | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | debasys: on the drive your bios is set to boot from | 10:58 |
| ikonia | debasys: depends on your system | 10:58 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip1: so u mean the master HDD out of those 2 HDDs i have? | 10:58 |
| kestutis | as i said, i cannot check it. | 10:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Just reinstalled all the gstreamer, do i have to restart for effects to take aplce? | 10:59 |
| Stanlin | so technically nobody can use Ubuntu 8.10 as guest in Vmware... that sucks | 10:59 |
| ikonia | kestutis: why ? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | kestutis: I don't understand why you can't use the -h option to check it | 10:59 |
| blah569 | How do I like "sudo" into a directory? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | debasys: whichever drive you bios is booting to, write the boot sector o that drive | 10:59 |
| blah569 | So I can delete files from this directory that I would not have permission otherwise. | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: you dont have to use sudo to cd | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: you can traverse folders freely | 10:59 |
| blah569 | I want to delete files from /var/www/ | 10:59 |
| blah569 | but in the explorer I do not have permission to | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blah569: if you want to delete, use sudo rm | 11:00 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip1: ok so i know which is the Drive it boots into. how do i know the boot sector of this drive. is there a special name for it? | 11:00 |
| deany | Stanlin: its still an issue with vmware, they dont even acknowledge the problem, vmware tools does work in 8.04 tho.. use virtualbox, seriously.. | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !grub | debasys | 11:00 |
| ubottu | debasys: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:00 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip1: humm.... | 11:00 |
| kestutis | the same reason why i can't check HTTP server by my external IP. | 11:01 |

| kestutis | thanks a lot | 11:01 |

| ActionParsnip1 | btavakkoli: you could use sudo passwd to set the root pass as its only the live install. I STRONGLY advise not doing this on an installed system | 11:37 |
| rww | deany: System > Preferences > Screensaver, then tell it to regard the computer as idle after 10 minutes and check both of the checkboxes below that setting | 11:38 |

The second partition is 30 GB but I installed Ubuntu for only 15 GB. So ik partitions a new logical partition (EXT3), but I can not use due to a lak of permissions. I can not log in as Root, only activate the root-user. But stil i am not allowd to change te rights of te new logical drive | 11:44 |

| gbear14275 | Trijntje: alas, you are right. Wondering if its possible to use a wireless router to act as a bride and a router at the same time. What I am wondering is if I have an incoming internet connection via my cable modem but also connect to my neighbors wireless access point could I reap the benefits of two cable modems? | 12:08 |
| Slart | Sorcererbob: hmm.. seems there are a lot of problems with the intel sound chips of that family.. didn't find anyone complaining about stuttering though.. | 12:08 |
| quibbler | kestutis, with wine,but you have Gimp which is very good | 12:09 |
| Slart | sofros: du | 12:09 |
| Sorcererbob | Slart, I started googling too. And I found a couple which are vaguely related. Like one with the same chip said that the startup sound stutters (which mine does) but nothing else | 12:09 |
| kestutis | Gimp is not as good as Photoshop. or would you disgree with me? | 12:09 |

| quibbler | kestutis, I agree but for me (not a pro) it is fine | 12:10 |
| Sorcererbob | similar. I don't use the powerful features in PS. Gimp works fine for me | 12:10 |
| sofros | Sorcererbob: i mean total size of sub-directories, not size of files in it | 12:11 |
| Sorcererbob | sofros, what are you trying to accomplish with this? | 12:11 |
| kestutis | but actually it's possible to use Photoshop with Wine, isn't it? | 12:11 |
| Trijntje | gbear14275, i'm not that good with network, i have no idea. But i think its not realy a moral thing to do anyhow | 12:11 |

| yellowtape | Hey all! I'm hoping someone can help me out here. My Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop running Ubuntu 8.04 was working fine last night. I suspended it when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning and resumed it, I had no eth0 device. I've restarted /etc/init.d/networking and rebooted the laptop, but 'ifconfig' still doesn't list eth0. I'm connecting via wireless now. Could someone please help me out with this...? | 12:25 |

| Flannel | silv3r_m001: what do you mean by ascii? | 12:38 |
| Slart | silv3r_m001: or do you really want an ASCII editor? not many editors handle only ascii | 12:38 |
| kestutis | can anybody explain me again about root user? | 12:38 |
| Slart | silv3r_m001: plain text is not the same as ascii | 12:38 |
| Slart | !root | kestutis | 12:38 |
| ubottu | kestutis: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:38 |

| Seveas | veltsu, maybe wifi first, if you use it :) | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | veltsu: uninstall all flash thins you have installed, then: sudo apt-gte install flashplayer-nonfree | 12:50 |
| hspaans | veltsu: the processor is a better option | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | *apt-get | 12:51 |
| veltsu | Seveas, I struggled to get my wifi working for a few weeks so I'd rather keep it for a while. Besides, if my wifi goes, I can't get any more good suggestions about what to do next. :) hspaans, I could fine tune the processor with a sledgehammer right about now | 12:52 |

| veltsu | can I use my chainsaw to remove it? | 12:54 |
| Seveas | veltsu, apt-get may cause less collateral damage than the chainsaw, I recommend that | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | veltsu: rip it out, if youo have more than 1 flash plugin they will fight | 12:55 |

| Jianaran | Hi everyone, new convert to Ubuntu and Linux in general here. I'm trying to set up a programming environment to learn C++, and to cut a long story short I have to install a .rpm file. the Terminal says that this is for Red Hat, and as a debian user I should use alien -Anyone care to explain? | 12:58 |
| Slart | !alien | Jianaran | 12:58 |
| ubottu | Jianaran: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 12:58 |
| Slart | Jianaran: make a note of those words.. "dangerous" and "unsupported" | 12:59 |

| Jianaran | Also, probably a very silly question, but what's the small circle in the top left corner of every window, just to the right of the icon? (I'm using Xubuntu) | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mick02: you could put them in a simple shell script and have it autorun | 13:04 |
| blah569 | Say I have a user entitled "serveradmin," how would I change it | 13:04 |
| blah569 | the home directory to var/www * | 13:04 |
| mick02 | Slart when I try to run the VM I get a series of errors. I've to run sudo tunctl -t tap1 -u mick02 | 13:04 |
| dli | Jianaran, spreading the window to all desktop? | 13:04 |
| mick02 | Then I've to run sudo chown root.vboxusers /dev/net/tun | 13:05 |
| Jianaran | Ah, thanks | 13:05 |
| Jianaran | Anyway, so I got the sun-java6-jdk; what do I do with it? | 13:05 |
| Slart | mick02: are you using something special with your vm? what is the /dev/net/tun ? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mick02: have a script with your list of commands then have the last command as running the virtualbox | 13:06 |
| blah569 | How do I change the home directory of a user account in Terminal? | 13:06 |
| Slart | mick02: but I'm just curious.. of course you can create a script with those commands and run it when you log in | 13:06 |
| Slart | mick02: the sudo part might ask you for a password but that's it | 13:07 |
| mick02 | Slart, tun is the network tunnel that allows the XP virtual machine to access the network I think | 13:07 |
| dli | blah569, sudo usermod -d <folder> foo | 13:07 |
| blah569 | dli: Thanks | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | blah569: if you are moving it to a different partition, move the folder to the new location and symlink the new folder | 13:07 |
| Slart | mick02: oh.. NAT isn't enough? you want incoming connections too? | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !codecs > kebomix | 13:08 |
| Slart | mick02: because I can browse the net, do updates etc without any of that | 13:08 |
| Jianaran | Also, not Ubuntu specific, but what sort of IRC client would you advise for Linux? I use mIRC on windows, and Pidgin seems pretty clumsy compared to a dedicated client | 13:08 |
| Slart | !irc | Jianaran | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Jianaran: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 13:08 |
| Slart | Jianaran: xchat is pretty similar to mIRC | 13:09 |
| mick02 | Yeah I need the tun interface to be up so I can join the VM to the company network etc | 13:09 |
| Jianaran | Cheers, I'll try it | 13:09 |
| maltem | Jianaran: I'm using xchat (xchat-gnome, to be specific) | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Jianaran: xchat is close in clean looks plus you wont have the mirc nag | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Jianaran: you can also get xchat for windows too | 13:10 |
| SuNDeC | Jianaran: irssi the light-weight console-based irc client | 13:10 |
| benovic | what to do if ubuntu doesnt get the right resolution for my external monitor? once plugged I only want the external monitor to run in 1680x1050. if the laptop is unplugged the normal screen should run with default 1280x800. I'd be glad for a link :) | 13:10 |
| maltem | Is someone else affected by the network-manager bug that it won't reconnect after suspend? Any workaround known (my ifconfig fu fails me)? There are numerous launchpad tickets that look related... | 13:10 |

| Jianaran | Anyway, so going back to my original issue: I'm trying to set up a C++ environment, and I've now used apt-get to get sun-java6-jdk. I've agreed to its terms and conditions; what do I do now? | 13:12 |
| NAZAuy | waooo | 13:12 |
| blah569 | Is it possible to give "serveradmin" full permission? 777 I'm using vsftpd, and it uses local users. | 13:12 |

| maltem | er, for C++? | 13:12 |
| sartak_ | okie UFW is installed | 13:12 |
| Jianaran | I was told to use Eclipse | 13:12 |
| sartak_ | how can I test it | 13:12 |
| sartak_ | ? | 13:12 |
| Jianaran | It needs the Java SDK base, apparently | 13:12 |
| lesshaste | how do I set up a generic postscript printer? I can't see postscript as an option under "generic" in the print dialog | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | maltem: you could rmmod <networking module> then modprobe it back in | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | maltem: suspend is a real pain to get nice | 13:13 |
| maltem | Jianaran: oh ok, then I'd try and install eclipse, no? | 13:13 |
| benovic | ActionParsnip: i have found the dualscreen solutions, but I think it doesnt help me with my problem since i only want to run one monitor at at time | 13:13 |
| benovic | well, ill check it out :) | 13:13 |
| maltem | ActionParsnip: would I have to rmmod before suspend, or should it work after waking up? | 13:14 |
| Jianaran | maltem: Fair enough, and yes it works. I'd just expected a more visible notification tham something had happened. Thanks, everyone :) | 13:14 |

Comparing to gentoo or debian, this is really _bad_ as ubuntu should also attract casual users. Iam not a casual user, but this really pushes me forward to port back to gentoo or even go on debian. But nevermind, nice day | 13:25 |

| sartak_ | no it wasnt sorry | 13:49 |
| lesshaste | ok.. so given it is connected directly to me pc | 13:49 |

| mrwes | heh | 13:52 |
| dli | lesshaste, you need the IP of the printer, then | 13:52 |
| lesshaste | dli: I am a little surprised it will have one given it's not on a network | 13:52 |
| === kevin__ is now known as krept | ||
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: it may have a static ip, also make sure you are using a crossover cable | 13:53 |
| lesshaste | and I also can't see how to print a test page :) | 13:53 |

| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip, bluez: command not found | 13:53 |
| dli | lesshaste, find settings in windows then | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ok then the cable is fine | 13:53 |

| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 13:54 |
| mrwes | lesshaste: and if you're using DHCP, you're going to run into problems with the IP not being static | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: you could jump into windows and look at the printer settings. it may surrender its IP address then | 13:55 |

| lesshaste | shouldn't I be able to ping the printer? | 13:57 |
| lesshaste | CPrompt^: lexmark e250dn | 13:57 |
| mrwes | yes | 13:57 |
| CPrompt^ | lesshaste: yes you should be able to | 13:57 |
| mrwes | Oh....it's a lexmark??? | 13:57 |
| mrwes | pppft | 13:57 |
| lesshaste | it clearly say address 169.254.1.37 | 13:57 |
| CPrompt^ | ping it taht is | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: you can only ping it by ip | 13:58 |
| lesshaste | ping 169.254.1.37 ,fails | 13:58 |
| mrwes | that is a class C address no? | 13:58 |
| CPrompt^ | lesshaste: that's not right then. | 13:58 |
| dli | lesshaste, if you have not firewall there, you can nmap it also | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: 169.254 == dhcp fail | 13:58 |
| CPrompt^ | lesshaste: you are not getting an ip address | 13:58 |
| lesshaste | great | 13:58 |
| lesshaste | I am not really sure we know what we are doing :) | 13:58 |
| CPrompt^ | cable bad? | 13:58 |
| mrwes | it has to be an internet IP address | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: you need to set the ethernet port ou have to some ip address then set the ip of the printer to fall in the same net mask for communication to flow | 13:58 |
| CPrompt^ | lesshaste: i do this all day long for my job | 13:59 |

| lesshaste | it's just plugged directly into my pc | 13:59 |
| dli | lesshaste, what cable? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: if yuo attatch it to a router it will be given correct info but you have it connected to your pc so its dhcp will fail | 13:59 |
| lesshaste | CPrompt^: ethernet | 13:59 |
| lesshaste | CPrompt^: that's promising :) | 13:59 |
| CPrompt^ | lesshaste: it would have to be a crossover cable then | 13:59 |
| Flynsarmy | is there a graphical bluetooth program i can use on ubuntu? | 13:59 |
| CPrompt^ | and you would have to give the printer a static ip. | 13:59 |
| dli | lesshaste, you have two ethernet cards in PC there? | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | yes as its a peer to peer connections | 14:00 |
| lesshaste | dli: one usb and one ethernet | 14:00 |
| lesshaste | dli: I mean one usb wireless ethernet.. so yes | 14:01 |
| lesshaste | CPrompt^: I just go back to the fact that in windows it simply works | 14:01 |
| lesshaste | CPrompt^: so the cable can't be wrnog | 14:01 |
| dli | lesshaste, find the IP of printer in windows | 14:01 |
| CPrompt^ | lesshaste: you can print via ethernet cable straight from your computer to the printer? | 14:02 |
| dli | lesshaste, it sounds to me like printer gets IP by DHCP from windows | 14:02 |
| lesshaste | CPrompt^: exactly | 14:02 |
| dli | lesshaste, that's weird to me:( | 14:02 |
| CPrompt^ | that doesn't sound right | 14:02 |
| CPrompt^ | the printer would have to have the same ip range as your computer | 14:03 |
| lesshaste | well I am starting up another computer now | 14:03 |
| CPrompt^ | otherwise it wouldn't know where to go | 14:03 |
| lesshaste | with windows on it | 14:03 |
| lesshaste | I'll plug in the printer and see how long it takes to set up :) | 14:03 |
| dli | lesshaste, plug the printer cable in your local router, or something where you can get DHCP | 14:03 |
| CPrompt^ | plug it in using the ethernet correct? | 14:03 |
| lesshaste | using the boring ethernet cable | 14:04 |
| lesshaste | no router involved | 14:04 |
| dli | lesshaste, since you have wireless, plug the printer eth cable into the wireless router | 14:04 |
| CPrompt^ | why not use the router? it would make things much easier and that printer really should have a static ip | 14:04 |
| lesshaste | ok.. windows loading... | 14:04 |
| dli | lesshaste, startup the printer, then, it should get IP from router | 14:04 |
| CPrompt^ | i'm with dli on this one. | 14:05 |
| lesshaste | the router is in the wrong room.. sorry to be so dull about it | 14:05 |

| ikonia | Photoguy: install on each system, or use a live setup, like a livecd | 14:47 |
| brolly81 | Stormbreaker: yeah i wen to that site, it didnt help. I actually fixed my problem and it was the fact that i was not in root like slart said, which that site does not mention that and i followed it to the teeth. | 14:47 |
| Photoguy | So, I have to install all over agin, on the computer I want to boot from? | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: or use a live system like a livecd | 14:48 |
| Jeruvy | Photoguy; you can choose to just use a livecd environment, you can create a hard file per system | 14:48 |
| Photoguy | !livecd | 14:48 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 14:48 |
| intrepiduser | when i run orca i hear a weird noise... | 14:48 |
| Stormbreaker | brolly81, Oh i see | 14:48 |
| amitz1 | Photoguy: heh, I'm doing the same thing, that is want to make my installation in external harddrive works in most computers. | 14:48 |
| Photoguy | Yeah, I just want to plug and play :P | 14:49 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: then use a livecd | 14:49 |
| Jeruvy | amitz: we do the same thing, but it's not trivial and all the machine are the same. Makes hardware conflicts rarer. | 14:49 |
| amitz1 | Photoguy: It probably won't work flawlessly though.. | 14:49 |
| Stormbreaker | brolly81, Anyway, keep in mind that you have to be root to be able to install/uninstall/update a soft in ubuntu, it's "by design" that's why many wabsite didn't mention it | 14:50 |

| brolly81 | Slart: i was trying to share my folder over the network. the files that i was trying to share were located on my desktop | 14:50 |
| Photoguy | Ok, so I use a live cd, and install all over again? | 14:50 |
| amitz1 | Jeruvy: I know but I still want to make it work. I only have to make it works for 3 different computers. Now, what I need is info on how to install grub only on live cd. Do you know how? | 14:51 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: just use a livecd, don't install, or install it, it's up to you | 14:51 |
| Papillon_ | bonjour les mauvais programmeurs ! | 14:51 |
| ikonia | !fr | 14:51 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 14:51 |
| Papillon_ | bonjour les bots alors | 14:51 |
| Photoguy | !fr | 14:51 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: I've just done that | 14:51 |
| Jeruvy | amitz: I'm not sure I follow you. You want a livecd with just grub? | 14:51 |
| ikonia | Papillon_: english only please | 14:51 |
| amitz1 | Photoguy: first you need to use "debootstrap". Try google it. | 14:51 |
| Slart | brolly81: ah.. so you had to do that as "the root user".. the files can still be on your desktop.. it's just the sharing that has to be done as root.. since you as a user isn't allowed to do that.... (not sure if that helps any) | 14:51 |
| Photoguy | ok | 14:52 |
| Slart | brolly81: anyways.. it works now? | 14:52 |
| ikonia | amitz1: why does he want to debootsstrap ? | 14:52 |
| brolly81 | slart: for example if i logged onto ubunto my files of music and pic are there on my desktop. i had to copy and paste those files in root to share. | 14:53 |
| amitz1 | Jeruvy: Yeah. Basically the BIOS of all 3 computers can access USB storage. Too bad there is no option to boot from USB storage. So basically I want to boot from CD, run the grub in CD, and make grub boot into USB storage. | 14:53 |
| Photoguy | I wan to use MY ubuntu installation, that's the thing! | 14:53 |
| shri | i think the partion was done manually | 14:53 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: you can't | 14:53 |
| Photoguy | No way too? | 14:53 |
| Jeruvy | amitz1: ah, why not pxe? | 14:53 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: each PC is unique, so you need to either a.) use a live cd envionment, or b.) install on each system | 14:53 |
| Photoguy | That's ridiculous! | 14:54 |
| amitz1 | ikonia: ah, what I meant is for him/her to create his new installation for his external storage. | 14:54 |
| Photoguy | Ok, thanks for the info. | 14:54 |
| ikonia | amitz1: so he doesn't need to debootstrap - just install as normal | 14:54 |
| amitz1 | Jeruvy: Some of those computers can't boot from PXE. | 14:54 |
| shri | i bootout of livecd and can see the file system partition and boot partition | 14:54 |
| shri | but i think grub is not installed | 14:54 |
| shri | how do i | 14:54 |
| ikonia | shri: the livecd uses lilo | 14:54 |
| Photoguy | Wait, does it make any diffrernece that I'm using an external hdd? | 14:54 |
| brolly81 | slart: yes it works now but the problem is that for 10gigs of music i have to use 20gigs of space one for root and the other for general log on from what i'm understanding between root and just normal log-on | 14:54 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: yes, | 14:54 |
| amitz1 | ikonia: You're right. I generalized my case to his/her. I used debootstrap thus I thought (s)he probably needs it. | 14:55 |
| ikonia | Photoguy: you can't move installs around like that - it is not safe. Each PC is different | 14:55 |
| Stormbreaker | Photoguy, yes | 14:55 |
| shri | okay, what do i do now | 14:55 |
| shri | how do i make dual boot | 14:55 |
| genii | amitz: There is floppy bootdisks which bootstrap to PXE if bios does not allow it at http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ | 14:55 |
| ikonia | shri: what do you want to do | 14:55 |
| Photoguy | Ok.. | 14:55 |
| Jeruvy | amitz1: hmm interesting problem. Not sure what to suggest I would not go this way. | 14:55 |
| Melio | Photoguy: you should try installing off usb. it's a little quicker if your doing a lot of installs | 14:55 |
| zombor | is there any way to automate the typing in of the "yes" for an ssh host when connecting for the first time? | 14:55 |
| Melio | just a suggestion | 14:55 |
| ikonia | zombor: disable host checking | 14:55 |
| shri | i know ubuntu is installed on my system. i want to boot out of it | 14:56 |
| zombor | ikonia: can i do that per-domainhost? | 14:56 |
| shri | for that i need a grub/lilo | 14:56 |
| Melio | oh i didnt see that you had an x harddrive | 14:56 |
| Melio | nevermind | 14:56 |
| ikonia | zombor: it's a server setting, not a client, so disable it on each server | 14:56 |
| ikonia | shri: what do you want to do | 14:56 |
| shri | how do i? | 14:56 |
| ikonia | shri: what do you want to do/achieve ? | 14:56 |
| Photoguy | Thanks for the help guy. | 14:56 |
| zombor | ikonia: ah, ok, thanks | 14:56 |
| Photoguy | *guys | 14:56 |
| Melio | shri ubuntu doesnt use lilo | 14:56 |
| icqnumber | !info ghc6 | 14:56 |
| ubottu | ghc6 (source: ghc6): GHC - the Glasgow Haskell Compilation system. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.8.2-6ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 27026 kB, installed size 127276 kB | 14:56 |
| Melio | not by defualt. if you want lilo hit the lilo website | 14:56 |
| amitz1 | genii: Thanks. It's interesting but basically I want to have a large collection of files and installation with small physical size I can carry everywhere to those 3 computers. | 14:56 |
| Slart | brolly81: ok.. I don't really understand what you did... but you do not have to store everything twice in order to be able to share it | 14:56 |
| shri | i want to install bootloader that boots linux and windows | 14:57 |
| ikonia | Melio: why does he have to hit the lilo website, lilo is available for ubuntu | 14:57 |
| Melio | shri, install windows., then install on a clean partition linux | 14:57 |
| ikonia | shri: have you installed linux yet ? | 14:57 |
| shri | thats done | 14:57 |
| Melio | ikonia: so he can learn about lilo | 14:57 |
| intrepiduser | im begining to hate the udp packets of filesharing on wireshark.. | 14:57 |
| intrepiduser | filesharing clients | 14:57 |
| Melio | shri, ubuntu automaticly recognizes your windows partition when grub installs | 14:57 |
| Melio | grub is exactly like liko | 14:57 |
| ikonia | shri: then the system should be already setup to dual boot, the linux installer sets it up and gets it right %99 of the time | 14:57 |
| Melio | er lilo | 14:57 |
| Melio | sorry small keyboard | 14:57 |
| Melio | i personally like grub better | 14:57 |
| Melio | lilo is like 80's style | 14:58 |
| shri | i think thats not done | 14:58 |
| Melio | shri, how did you install linux | 14:58 |
| brolly81 | slart: when i typed sudo nautlius it came up. but i could not view my the files located under desktop | 14:58 |
| Jeruvy | !punctuation > Melio | 14:58 |
| ubottu | Melio, please see my private message | 14:58 |
| Stormbreaker | shri, what's happen when you boot your computer ? | 14:58 |
| icqnumber | shri, what are you talking about? | 14:58 |
| shri | i see only windows | 14:58 |
| Melio | Jeruvy: i would if i could find the keys for it, this is an aao, and i'm typing in the dark | 14:58 |
| Melio | not used to this keyboard | 14:58 |
| Melio | hey. i'm using punctuation. relax | 14:58 |
| Stormbreaker | shri, then Ubuntu is not installed | 14:58 |
| amitz1 | Jeruvy: well, for now, I want to install that grub on cd. | 14:58 |
| icqnumber | !grub | shri | 14:59 |
| ubottu | shri: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:59 |
| ikonia | shri: then it's most likley grub do not install to the boot disk | 14:59 |
| ikonia | Stormbreaker: no, it means grub is not on the boot disk | 14:59 |
| Slart | brolly81: ok.. sudo nautilus means you ran nautilus as the user root.. (you should have used gksudo but that's for another time).. | 14:59 |
| Slart | brolly81: and then you couldn't see your desktop files? | 14:59 |
| shri | when i boot out of liveubuntu cd. i see the linux partitions with ubuntu on one of the partitions | 14:59 |
| ikonia | shri: ok, so grub is not installed on your boot disk | 14:59 |
| Stormbreaker | ikonia, how itcan be ? if you follow the install process? | 14:59 |
| shri | so how do i install grub | 15:00 |
| ikonia | Stormbreaker: if you have multiple disks, the installer can put the grub boot loader on the wrong boot disk | 15:00 |
| icqnumber | shri, see the link above | 15:00 |
| ikonia | shri: you need to re-apply grub from the livecd to the correct master boot record | 15:00 |
| shri | i have multiple disks | 15:00 |
| Stormbreaker | ikonia, Ok, thx for the info :) | 15:00 |
| ikonia | !grub > shri | 15:00 |
| ubottu | shri, please see my private message | 15:00 |
| Slart | brolly81: ok, I think I understand what you did now.. you clicked on the "Desktop" shortcut in nautilus, right? and there were no files? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | Stormbreaker: it's rare - but it can happen, most normally if your disk priority is different than your bios's order | 15:00 |
| brolly81 | slart: dude someone else told me to type sudo nautilus not gksudo | 15:01 |
| peabody | How do I install the new kernel with ext4 support? | 15:01 |
| Stormbreaker | ikonia, didn't know that, i have multiple disk but no issue so far to install ubuntu | 15:01 |
| Slart | brolly81: yes, it happens.. it can be dangerous but most of the time it's fine | 15:01 |
| Jeruvy | amitz1: have you seen this? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html | 15:01 |
| Slart | brolly81: generally speaking sudo is used for command line applications, gksudo is used for things that uses the gui | 15:02 |
| Stormbreaker | brolly81, gksudo or sudo nautilus it's 2 different way for the same result | 15:02 |
| Slart | Stormbreaker: not really.. | 15:02 |
| Slart | !gksudo | Stormbreaker | 15:02 |
| ubottu | Stormbreaker: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:02 |
| amitz1 | Jeruvy: woah, thx. I'm currently reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 15:03 |
| brolly81 | slart: i just right clicked on my music file, then share file. | 15:03 |
| backgen | hey can anyone help me i'm trying to mount my external HD but it says "Cannot mount Volume" and in details it says its because of an untidy shutdown | 15:03 |
| Jeruvy | amitz1: good luck :) | 15:03 |
| Slart | brolly81: you did find your music files? inside the new nautilus window? | 15:03 |
| shri | if i install grub . will i be able to boot windows | 15:03 |
| backgen | i think i last mounted it on my Windows, but i can't access windows right now because it's got a virus and just freezes when i open it | 15:03 |
| shri | will grub overwrite windows bootloader | 15:03 |
| _Aldur | join #xubuntu | 15:03 |
| Stormbreaker | Slart, if you say so, it's open nautilus with root access | 15:04 |
| backgen | I'm thinking that i can Force it, but is that dangerous? Will i loose my data on it? | 15:04 |
| Jeruvy | shri: have you read the documentation for grub? | 15:04 |
| Slart | Stormbreaker: yes, but gksudo does some extra things.. something about enviroment variables.. apparently it can do nasty stuff to your installation if you use sudo with gui things | 15:04 |
| shri | i am reading it. i just want to get confirmation | 15:05 |
| shri | since my confidence level is bad | 15:05 |
| Slart | Stormbreaker: read the link ubottu sent you.. I don't remember the specifics of it | 15:05 |
| amitz1 | Jeruvy: Thx! I think your link is exactly what I need. | 15:05 |
| brolly81 | slart, strombreaker: the point is now i've tried it both ways and i still cant view my folders on my desktop i cant see any files. It's just a blank nautilus screen that has a desktop icon on it and when i click on the desktop icon to open it, that too is just blank | 15:06 |
| Stormbreaker | Slart, i just finish it, anyway, for me the result was the same, no i understand, i will us gksudo then | 15:06 |
| Slart | brolly81: ok.. that is because you are seeing the user roots desktop.. each user has his own home folder, his own desktop folder, his own bookmarks etc etc | 15:06 |
| Stormbreaker | now* | 15:07 |
| backgen | hey can anyone help me i'm trying to mount my external HD but it says "Cannot mount Volume" and in details it says its because of an untidy shutdown, Does anyone know how to Force it? Or is that not recommended because it might wipe all my data? | 15:07 |
| Slart | brolly81: try clicking on "File system" in the left panel | 15:07 |
| Slart | brolly81: you can press F9 to turn the side panel on and off | 15:07 |
| MAXI-MUM | hello i am dualing boot vista and linux and i access internet via wireless newtork vista connects normally to 3com router with 24% stringth in signal but ubuntu dont detect that router in the same position of my laptop | 15:08 |

| brolly81 | slart: yeah ok | 15:08 |
| Slart | brolly81: ok.. find the folder "home", open it | 15:08 |

| Trijntje | i installed bootchart and rebooted and it gave me a graph, so i figured i didn't need to change init to /sbin/bootchardt | 15:28 |

| mib_x893htne | hi guys. Is there a way for a script to get a reference to it's own location? The script should invoke another command in its own directory, but when run from a desktop shortcut the current directory seems to be the desktop, so I guess I need to cd to the script dir, but that can depend on where the user installed the files | 15:31 |
| rww | Trijntje: look in the last three paragraphs of that page | 15:31 |
| BenHoltz | mib_x893htne: have it cd to that directory in the script | 15:32 |
| rww | Trijntje: by default, bootchart is set up to do boot logging. You can start it up manually to log other stuff, like GNOME logon, though. | 15:32 |
| shri | thanks guys, i have booted into ubuntu | 15:32 |
| shri | it is so easy | 15:32 |
| shri | lol | 15:32 |
| rww | mib_x893htne: assuming you're talking about a BASH script, ask in #bash | 15:32 |
| mib_x893htne | BenHoltz: Can I get the script directory from an environment variable? The script can be in any location chosen by the user | 15:33 |
| Trijntje | rww: I'm trying to run the bootchartd command but it doesn't seem to exist | 15:33 |
| shri | Now i want to install all the default packages and sources of ubuntu. how do i do it? | 15:33 |
| mib_x893htne | rww: ok | 15:33 |

| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, try asking in the open office channel | 15:42 |
| BobbyInfinity | Happy New Year all. I'm trying to get a Canon printer to work with ddiwrapper. The problem I am having is compiling it from source. There wasn't a ./configure file included with the source file so I get a whole mess of errors when trying to make. Anyone have any ideas? | 15:43 |
| Aji-Daha1a | jim_p: like alt-tab to change between applications and ctrl-tab to change between windows in the same application | 15:43 |
| kristian_ | Jack_Sparrow : isn't this the official channel? | 15:43 |
| Aji-Daha1a | jim_p: something along those lines | 15:43 |

| jim_p | thanks Jack_Sparrow | 15:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kristian_, np | 15:45 |
| jim_p | Aji-Daha1a, doesnt gnome do that by default? | 15:45 |
| Jeruvy | BobbyInfinity: and you did a ./configure and it didn't work or you ran into dependancy errors? Can you pastebin the output of the ./configure | 15:45 |
| BobbyInfinity | there is no ./configure to run | 15:46 |
| Aji-Daha1a | jim_p: nope, gnome does alt-tab to switch windows regardless of application | 15:46 |
| Melio | type sudo configure | 15:46 |
| Aji-Daha1a | I don't see any way to just switch application focus | 15:46 |
| Dante123 | hi all, I am having the problem that 8.10 is not detecting my display properly. I want to set it to Acer x193 and I cant in 8.10 because the "screen and displays" gui is not in 8.10 like it was in 8.04. As a result I do not get all the resolution options. Is there no way of setting display in 8.10??? | 15:47 |
| Melio | Dante123: you can customize your xorg.conf | 15:47 |
| swif | So one day I boot my Intrepid installation, and it won't resolve hostnames. I check my connection by pinging a few remote IPs I know by heart, and they respond. I track it down to my /etc/resolv.conf file, which turns out to have been replaced by a Stale NFS file handle, and I get this error when I try to do anything with the file. How can I remove the stale file handle so I can restore my original resolv.conf? | 15:47 |
| moonbaby | who have to give me a guide or manual for ubuntu terminal? pls | 15:48 |
| Slash003 | hi, I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 but Im getting the grub error, how can I fix it? | 15:48 |

| Dante123 | Melio is there no way to set via gui the display??? | 15:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, I usually edit mine manually. | 15:48 |
| BobbyInfinity | is there a way for me to make my own ./config? | 15:49 |
| Jeruvy | BobbyInfinity: seems to be looking for wine :) | 15:49 |
| moonbaby | thanx | 15:49 |
| Dante123 | Jack_Sparrow I even tried booting into 8.04 livecd and using that xorg.conf after I had set acer as display, but no good. | 15:49 |
| BobbyInfinity | when i looked at the make file it seems to be looking for wine in the wrong place. that is if i'm reading it correctly | 15:50 |
| swif | So in short, how can I remove a stale NFS file handle? I can't find out how to remove the handle and I can't replace the file unless the stale handle is gone. I've Googled to no avail. :( | 15:50 |
| Jeruvy | BobbyInfinity: from the makefile: ddiwrapper_exe_LDFLAGS = -mwindows -mno-cygwin | 15:50 |
| Dante123 | Jack_Sparrow I may have to do that....but I should think things OUGHT to be able to be done via gui. I mean 8.04 allowed me to and now 8.10 doesn't. Seems like a regression to me. | 15:50 |

I ran gksudo displayconfig-gtk which allowed me to select monitor, graphics card etc. I then copied this newly made xorg.conf file to my 8.11 setup and rebooted, installed nvidia driver, and now I have the missing resolutions to choose from. | 16:42 |

| hspaans | mker: without the source its hard to tell | 16:43 |
| kristian_ | ethan : you have to mention my nick for me to see it. can you be more specific? | 16:44 |
| mker | hspaans, you mean the pdf file itself? | 16:44 |
| hspaans | Gr34t3st: winmodems are a no go area | 16:44 |
| hspaans | mker: yes | 16:44 |
| int_ | jakarta | 16:44 |
| Gr34t3st | hspaans: so there is absolutely nothing i can do? | 16:44 |
| rww | mrwes: there's a plugin for it. Open the Plugins window and look for Hide Joins/Parts or something like that. | 16:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gr34t3st, There are some drivers but they are really hit or miss. Is this a laptop | 16:45 |
| ghost3 | Gr34t3st: what kind of winmodem? | 16:45 |

| Gr34t3st | I'm on an hp pavilion 7955. I ran scanModem but I got an error | 16:45 |
| mrwes | rww: found it -- thanks! that was killin' me | 16:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gr34t3st, Is this a laptop.. we cant be expected to know what every model number is | 16:46 |
| hspaans | Gr34t3st: don't expect them to work (good) ever. they are just an A/D-converter with a signal generator/reader for your CPU | 16:46 |
| Gr34t3st | No. | 16:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Gr34t3st, External modems work the best as they tend to be true hardware modems and not just ports pretending to be odems | 16:47 |
| ghost3 | Gr34t3st: and as mr jack asked.. is it a laptop? | 16:47 |
| Gr34t3st | so I have to go buy an external modem to make it work? | 16:47 |

| mker | hspaans, I'm not sure I can send any of the files with those problems. Would it help if I could just mention the fonts used that aren't embedded? Is there some sort of alternative I could download that takes their place without changing the pdfs? | 16:49 |

| pop79 | sorry ethan, i cant help you. | 16:56 |
| nicolas | wh can help me | 16:56 |
| rww | askereth: you don't, because there isn't a web interface to it. You either get it with apt-get, or download it from packages.ubuntu.com. | 16:56 |
| nicolas | ? | 16:56 |

| Gun_Smoke | rww, yes, they can add up.. | 16:59 |
| Gun_Smoke | nicolas, what do you need? | 16:59 |
| pop79 | thanks rrw | 16:59 |
| Gnea | askereth: someone could mean sources.list when they say 'source', or the source code via deb-src, or the original source code .tgz from the original website, or the source of a patch. | 17:00 |
| Gnea | askereth: assumption is the mother of all troubleshooting tickets that wind up in /dev/null ;) | 17:00 |
| askereth | Gnea: i thought "without downloading it (the package) first" was disambiguative enough | 17:00 |
| Gnea | askereth: but then you're referring to 'it', which, when you re-read what you wrote, is referring to 'the source' | 17:01 |

| Gun_Smoke | Gnea, sources.list refers to /etc/apt/sources.list which apt looks to. | 17:02 |
| Gnea | askereth: but, that's okay, you got the answer you sought. I'm not trying to be hard on you, just trying to point out that not being specific enough has the capacity to cause problems. :) | 17:02 |

| codeshot | Gnea: oh, it only asked me to restart my session (ie, log out and in again). Which sounds like a gconf setting got changed. | 17:16 |

| chandru | sabirami_ubuntu: tell me | 17:42 |
| caimlas | dfgas, ubuntu doesn't handle upgrades gracefully enough for a server's use | 17:42 |
| jim_p | you are welcome | 17:42 |
| caimlas | sabirami_ubuntu, that doesn't make sense. | 17:43 |
| rww | caimlas: the Ubuntu Server people would disagree with you :P | 17:43 |
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: I think I may have tried that already trhough installing the iP 1600 thorugh cups.. but, I'm not sure.. I've installed it several times and when I go to print a test page, it does not print... | 17:43 |
| sabirami_ubuntu | server people may | 17:43 |
| Seveas | rww, many more people do ;) | 17:43 |
| sabirami_ubuntu | but not newbie chandru | 17:43 |
| caimlas | chandru, you need to go to google and look for your errors and instructions on how to repair corrupted vmware images | 17:43 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, have you tried guten thing? | 17:43 |
| sabirami_ubuntu | he i very very new to ubuntu and he dosnt know what RAID is | 17:43 |
| === caimlas is now known as CaimAFK | ||
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: dunno.. right now, I' | 17:44 |
| CaBlGuY | I've just installed thorugh cups.. | 17:44 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/cups-driver-gutenprint | 17:44 |
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: link? | 17:44 |
| CaBlGuY | ok.. thnaks.. | 17:44 |
| Bullen | actually, jim_p, how can i configure mplayer? | 17:44 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, do you want a tutorial? this is the pacage you must install | 17:44 |
| Bullen | ah, sorry, found it | 17:45 |
| vlacki | caimlas i don't know what drivers are installed in my system | 17:45 |
| jim_p | Bullen, for video output? | 17:45 |
| dfrey|work | The more I think about it, the less I think RAID is worthwhile for a desktop system. | 17:45 |
| === e-frame is now known as Guest6591 | ||
| Bullen | yeah, but i found it | 17:45 |
| Bullen | the menu | 17:45 |
| jim_p | ok | 17:45 |
| Jeruvy | dfrey|work: its value is either 1) speed or 2) redundancy. Whether the support is up to snuff is for you to decide :) | 17:46 |

| jim_p | hi | 17:47 |
| Guest6591 | hello, i'm using huawei e220 in ubuntu hardy. i can chat via kopete, but not with pidgin. pidgin says "waiting for network" any suggestions ? thx. | 17:47 |
| Dante123 | Seveas no, upon reboot the internet just worked although network mangler says it is not connected. Should I run a command from terminal? | 17:47 |
| dfrey|work | Jeruvy: I figure that I still need to do incremental backups even if I use RAID 1, so it's not really worth the hassle given that redundancy isn't critical for my desktop system. | 17:47 |
| hadi57 | it is an AP board | 17:47 |
| Dante123 | jim_p do you suggest I use something else? | 17:47 |
| somaunn | wanted to know how can i reinstall the aptoncd packages | 17:47 |
| jim_p | Guest6591, check if pidgin looks for some proxy | 17:47 |
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: if I try to install the package, it says there's an error with the current cups dirvers installed.. | 17:48 |
| CaBlGuY | :/ | 17:48 |

| CaBlGuY | here ya go jim_p http://paste.ubuntu.com/98416/ | 17:50 |
| jim_p | Dante123, and network-config was the last app | 17:50 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, what is the package that conflicts with it? | 17:51 |
| CaBlGuY | cups I would assume.. | 17:51 |

| jim_p | CaBlGuY, no. it depends on cups to work | 17:52 |

| scunizi | Helo1234, do you have windows installed on one? | 17:52 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, yes | 17:52 |
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: install what package though? | 17:52 |
| rww | Guest6591: I'm guessing you're on Ubuntu Hardy/8.04? | 17:53 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, cups-driver-gutenprint | 17:53 |
| Helo1234 | scunizi: i do not have windows installed. Just 2 hdds and i want to install linux only | 17:53 |
| rww | Guest6591: if so, Pidgin 2.5.2 is available in hardy-backports, and I just logged in to yahoo successfully on that version. | 17:53 |
| rww | !backports | Guest6591 | 17:53 |

| CaBlGuY | jim_p: when I do the command line, it says this---> Couldn't find package cups-driver-gutenprint | 17:54 |
| Guest6591 | rww and jim_p, now i found what the problem is. i unticked the checkbox of "Enable automatic router port forwarding" in pidgin's network preferences, and it works. i'm using ubuntu hardy ^^ | 17:54 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, actually, cups-driver-gutenprint does not conflict with ANY package according to apt | 17:54 |
| Guest6591 | thx anyway | 17:54 |
| mazogs | 'smarctl -a' shows a lot of values but not 'Load_Cycle_Count'. What could i try? | 17:54 |
| jim_p | mazogs, grep | 17:54 |
| scunizi | Helo1234, partitioning can be done in a lot of ways. pick one drive and partition 8-12 gigs for / (shortcut for root).. then 1.5x of your ram for /swap if you're going to use hybernate and then you can designate the other drive for /home and all your data.. obviously you'll have lots of extra room available on drive 1 to use for "whatever" | 17:55 |
| Guest6591 | after struggling for few months with connection :p | 17:55 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, can you please show me the url again? | 17:55 |
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: HMMM THIS IS WIERD... first real "conflict" I've run into since I started using linux.. | 17:55 |
| CaBlGuY | jim_p: for.. which? | 17:55 |
| jim_p | CaBlGuY, i found it nevermind | 17:56 |
| CaBlGuY | ok.. | 17:56 |
| jim_p | cups-driver-gutenprint | 17:56 |
| mazogs | jim_p: thanks, but the problem is that smartctl doesn't show any info at all about Load_Cycle_Count | 17:56 |
| cris | is anyone available right now | 17:56 |

| mimip | mker: try set your font hinting to slight, does that help? | 18:25 |
| jasper | troy_, what? | 18:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | usr13_, that is not advised either | 18:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 18:26 |
| 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) | 18:26 |
| fosco_ | usr13_: please, read what ubottu said | 18:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 18:26 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:26 |

| mimip | mker: not on Evince, sorry i meant from ur gnome desktop settings | 18:27 |
| Mean_Admin | Jack_Sparrow: ok fine but... how do I reset some near-root user's password... I mean, I have a headless server and I havent used it in forever and I dont wanna reinstall the whole thing | 18:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | usr13_, it is still ill-advised and not needed.. | 18:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | usr13_, sudo -i etc | 18:27 |
| usr13_ | The advice given here is per individual. You cannot limit information in that way. | 18:27 |

| Caimlas | I've got a curious problem with my wifi not working (or, seemingly, NetworkManager, but one thing at a time) after an upgrade to Intrepid from Hardy (8.04.1). With either the default 2.6.27-9-generic or 2.6.27-3-rt kernels, I get a bunch of "wifi0: invalid skb->cb magic" errors in the syslog when I try and associate with an AP. wifi still works fine w/ the old kernel (2.6.24-22-generic) from hardy. wifi card is "Intersil Corpo | 19:15 |
| Caimlas | ration Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)" (ie hostap_pci) in a thinkpad x30. I've read online of someone with the same problem, and they found it worked with the livecd, just not with the upgrade. might there be some files interfering with the functionality of the intrepid kernels I'm missing, or might there be a known bug? | 19:15 |
| Bsims | DangerIsGO: the easiest way I found to dual boot is to install linux to its own hd, make it primary and then chainboot grub to call the windows native bootloader on its own device | 19:15 |

| Jaza | is hostname name given to the PC on the network? | 19:17 |
| Caimlas | GodfatherofEire, you encounter the problem/know the fix? | 19:17 |
| Caimlas | vita, ah, intrepid uses orinoco by default? | 19:17 |
| Jaza | Lector: is hostname name given to the PC on the network | 19:17 |
| raylu | Smiter: install kubuntu desktop. try #kubuntu | 19:18 |
| Caimlas | I ran into that... uh, a good year ago with a debian upgrade, I think. | 19:18 |
| sztomi | is it possible to play a dvd-audio in ubuntu? I tried totem, vlc and mplayer, none worked. | 19:18 |
| raylu | Smiter: *kubuntu-desktop | 19:18 |
| digitalfyre | meh, still cant find system-config-network for ubuntu | 19:18 |
| Smiter | from apt-get | 19:18 |
| Smiter | or? | 19:18 |
| Lector | Jaza: ok then, let's try : | 19:18 |
| Smiter | aptitude | 19:18 |
| Caimlas | GodfatherofEire, would the problem not exist with a fresh install, and if that is the case, do you know what the difference might be? | 19:18 |
| Lector | Smiter: yes | 19:18 |
| vita | Caimlas: No. In Feisty discover probably confused these. | 19:18 |
| raylu | Smiter: ... | 19:18 |
| Smiter | 10x :) | 19:18 |
| vita | Caimlas: Try it. Perhaps it will help. | 19:18 |
| Caimlas | vita, feisty was never on this computer. | 19:18 |
| Jaza | Lector: if hostname is name of PC then is rec-room | 19:19 |
| josher4 | I use Rocket Dock for Windows right now... Is it possible to get the "Mac Dock" in Ubuntu? | 19:19 |
| vita | Caimlas: Thet doesn't matter. I was dealing with this on Feisty only. Could be same for you. | 19:19 |
| kristian_ | i'm reading this: http://timarcher.com/node/46 - and i want to change the "MaxAuthTries 2" setting which is talked about, but there is no such option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. any thoughts? i've asked in openssh channel, and waited ages for an answer but no luck! | 19:19 |
| GodfatherofEire | Caimlas, it is very possible that it might not exist on a fresh install, seeing as how that is what all of us were told by some of the ops here, because it seemed to be a VERY common problem | 19:19 |
| raylu | !dock | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dock | 19:19 |
| Caimlas | vita, preventing orinoco from loading on boot can be in modules.conf right? can't recall. | 19:20 |

| mgolisch | illmortal: pres esc during the countdown | 19:21 |
| vita | Caimlas: Damn it. Sorry. It is in /etc/modules/blacklist or so | 19:21 |

| illmortal | mgolisch unfortunately it doesn't even show a count down. it just goes straight to ubuntu as if ubuntu was the only OS installed on the machine. | 19:22 |
| sztomi | dvd-audio, anyone? | 19:22 |
| Caimlas | vita, ah right, thanks | 19:22 |
| josher4 | sztomi: Thx | 19:22 |
| mgolisch | illmortal: so you installed windows afterwards? | 19:22 |

| gein | Caimlas: right now, just running vmware server | 19:23 |
| askereth | Seveas: are you there? | 19:23 |
| digitalfyre | there is a system-config-network in Ubuntu, right? | 19:24 |

| mgolisch | digitalfyre: that sounds like redhat | 19:24 |
| trevor | How would I go about finding the base address of my ps/2 Mouse port? I know that cat /proc/ioports lists the currently used ioports and their modules...but since it isn't being used I don't know the base number. | 19:25 |
| gein | smartmon-tools didn't show any errors on any of the three (SMART-enabled) drives | 19:25 |
| digitalfyre | mgolisch, I am used to redhat, is there any equiv to it in ubuntu?> | 19:25 |

| mgolisch | digitalfyre: network-admin probably | 19:25 |
| Lector | Jaza: cd /media | 19:25 |
| mgolisch | gein: do you copy between partitions on the same disk? | 19:25 |

| gein | mgolisch: I have tried copying locally (on the same disk) and between SATA -> USB and SATA -> another SATA | 19:26 |
| Lector | Jaza: any files there ? | 19:26 |
| Caimlas | vita, that would require a reboot to get into the .27 kernel; on the hardy .24 kernel atm | 19:26 |
| gein | dfrey|work: the iowait seems to peak really easily | 19:26 |
| mgolisch | gein: i have only seen it go crazy like for stuff on the same disk | 19:26 |

| gein | causing the system load to go crazy | 19:26 |
| gein | and in worst case freezing the whole system | 19:26 |

| trevor | ctrl+c | 19:28 |

| trevor | just open another tab | 19:28 |
| Lector | Jaza: are you using ibex ? | 19:28 |
| srx2002 | anyone? | 19:28 |
| illmortal1 | sorry about that mgolisch.... | 19:28 |
| ikonia | srx2002: saying anyone is pointless | 19:28 |
| l-isla | srx2002: its ctrl+z to put the program in the background | 19:29 |
| illmortal1 | did you get my last message about how I have my setup, mgolisch? | 19:29 |
| Lector | srx2002: ctrl & c | 19:29 |
| srx2002 | ok, thanks | 19:29 |
| Jaza | Lector: what is ibex? | 19:29 |
| l-isla | srx2002: then type bg to make it continue as a background process | 19:29 |
| DangerIsGO | this is interesting, i installed feisty and went to boot xp, and booted no problem | 19:29 |
| digitalfyre | darn, cant find the network config dialog | 19:29 |
| Caimlas | srx2002, you can launch the program and break it from terminal with: programname & | 19:29 |
| Lector | Jaza: ubuntu 8.10 = ibex intrepid, ubuntu 8.04 = hardy heron | 19:29 |

| dfrey|work | gein: seatools for example is seagate's software. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools | 19:30 |
| gein | dfrey|work: yes it's a seagate disk, I'll look into that | 19:30 |
| illmortal1 | anyone know why ubuntu loads automatically without grub starting prior? | 19:30 |
| Caimlas | srx2002, that is, put the ampersand after the program name. slight caveat: any output which would normally be echoed to stdout will still be echoed to that terminal. some programs have options to squelch such output | 19:30 |
| Caimlas | illmortal, it doesn't. | 19:30 |
| dfrey|work | gein: Get the DOS version. It creates a bootable CD. | 19:30 |
| Jaza | Lector: ibex | 19:31 |
| Caimlas | illmortal, you need to hit esc when the comptuer first boots/gives you the grub prompt. it's a very brief (1s or so) flash on the screen | 19:31 |
| Caimlas | illmortal, that'll give you te grub menu | 19:31 |
| illmortal1 | Caimlas, ok I'll attempt it. Thanks | 19:31 |

| savvas | abe: well.. sorry, out of ideas :) | 20:05 |
| illmortal | it's not hard to create a partition then install onto that partition. | 20:05 |

| nemo | illmortal: ah. it is getting across, finally. I repeat. your only chance at the moment is to *hope* you didn't do a full disc format, shut down, try to recover the partitions. or else, give up on 'em | 20:07 |
| === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU | ||
| nemo | illmortal: the partition table clearly says you have a boot partition, a single ubuntu main partition, and a swap. that's all. | 20:08 |

| stygian | |unjustice|: why not just use ext2/3? | 20:08 |

| nemo | illmortal: I repeat again. your only practical hope for recovery is IF you did not format the disc during install. at which point you must *immediately* shut down the machine before further writes occur. | 20:09 |
| nemo | illmortal: after that, you can try a partition recovery tool. there are a couple. | 20:09 |

| illmortal | alright im shutting down and using LiveCD, what is LiveCD gonna do? what do I need to do? | 20:09 |
| savvas | FlyingBishop: aptitude has ncurses and is included in Ubuntu. Ubuntu server is mostly console-based - you can't say the whole ubuntu is gtk (well.. perhaps the default pre-installed packages), but you have kubuntu and xubuntu derivatives as well | 20:09 |
| josher4 | sztomi: lol, im a noob to linux, i think i'll go through the package manager. | 20:09 |

| ranma | savvas: ok, if I find the uuid of my disk, what options do I use? plus, will this copy the contents of /home/ from sda1 to sdb1? | 20:14 |
| kestutis | how to enable or configure these effects? | 20:14 |
| Lector | Jaza: pastebinit /etc/fstab | 20:14 |
| nemo | illmortal: there is no way this could have happened except by your direct instruction. | 20:14 |
| vilemaxim | southafrikanse: I had that problem once and that is what I did. Not sure if it will fix your issue | 20:14 |
| gaintsura | OK.. so my cd's md5 is the same as the one on ubuntu | 20:14 |
| nemo | illmortal: if you are familiar with partition management, that makes it even more egregious | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | FlyingBishop: I thought that the linux kernel was compatible with it, but it was a false memory apparently | 20:15 |
| gaintsura | phail, ignore that | 20:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | |unjustice|, fat32 is a windows partition type | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | FlyingBishop: just trying to run ubuntu | 20:15 |
| savvas | ranma: you can retrieve the UUID for your partition using the command: blkid | 20:15 |
| Lector | Jaza: give url from last cmd here | 20:15 |
| Dante123 | try doing "lspci" from terminal to see what it says KineticWash | 20:15 |
| nemo | illmortal: there really is no excuse, sorry. but whenever you partition a disc you do need to be very careful | 20:15 |
| vilemaxim | vieuxmike: I think it ment me | 20:15 |
| nevada1920 | hi | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | yeah, yeah I remember now | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | my bad | 20:15 |
| illmortal | the only instruction i gave it was to create a new partition and to format that partition, then install ubuntu onto that partition | 20:15 |
| FlyingBishop | |unjustice| Then use ext3 | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | thanks | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | cool | 20:15 |
| FloodBot1 | |unjustice|: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:15 |
| savvas | ranma: hold a sec, let me find my /home | 20:15 |
| nathan_406 | thanks | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | how big should a /swap file be | 20:15 |
| illmortal | im gonna need to restart for livecd, this is ridiculous. | 20:15 |
| |unjustice| | ? | 20:15 |
| nemo | illmortal: as a matter of fact, even assuming a best-case repartition, gparted still recommends you backup data. | 20:15 |

| FlyingBishop | |unjustice|: If you have less than 1 gig of memory, twice the amount of ram you have | 20:16 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > Maveas | 20:19 |
| ubottu | Maveas, please see my private message | 20:19 |
| usser | Dante123, no wicd is not available through add/remove you'll have to install it manually and yes you will have to remove network manager, the operation fairly complicated and i would not go there if i were just starting with linux | 20:20 |
| savvas | ranma: cp -R /home/* /media/DISK/home/ | 20:20 |
| Dante123 | usser well I guess I can work live with network mangler working....although tray applet says I am not connected. Just a little annoyance I guess. | 20:20 |

| Mageiriki-me-bas | deany, i think the one is the recovery partition. | 20:39 |
| RolandMartin | UBUNTU SUCKS | 20:39 |
| savvas | balgarath: urm.. sorry, mine works (ubuntu 8.10 64-bit) - can you post the file somewhere? | 20:39 |

| linny1 | RolandMartin: ok your loss go badck to your windows then :) | 20:40 |
| ia | hello. could anybody tell me, please - should hibernate/suspend works correctly, if the whole root partition places at external usb-hdd drive? | 20:40 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | deany, because my whole disk is 250GB and if you add the partitions it makes only 225GB | 20:40 |
| balgarath | savvas, http://pastie.org/350843 | 20:40 |
| Flare183 | gerber: Ok, but you should know that most Dell printers are Rebranded from Lexmark | 20:40 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | deany, so... i have one more vista thing. | 20:40 |
| meoblast001 | linny1: i think Intrepid needs some work but Hardy is awesome | 20:40 |
| Lector | Jaza: can you get the ip of the win machine ? | 20:41 |
| gerber | yes | 20:41 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | deany, how can i delete the vista partition without deleting the recovery thing and EXTEND linux to 240GB? | 20:41 |
| deany | Mageiriki-me-bas: dont know why you dont get a boot menu tho. | 20:41 |
| Jaza | Lector: let me see if I can | 20:41 |
| savvas | balgarath: it works here :) | 20:41 |
| gerber | so what do you want me to do, Flare183 | 20:42 |
| balgarath | savvas, so its not the file then...any suggestions? | 20:42 |

| KineticWash | Well im back at square one. Fresh install of Intrepid and it wont find my wireless card..it finds my realtek ethernet card, but not my 802.11n wireless. Went to Ralinks site and I have the latest driver. Sigh. Its a 10 day old computer so Im out of ideas. | 20:42 |

| deany | Mageiriki-me-bas: booting with the livecd and using gparted partition editor | 20:43 |
| deany | might do it | 20:43 |

| Mageiriki-me-bas | deany, the livecd's menus dont have a gparted icon. | 20:43 |
| deany | partition editor in System/Admin | 20:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KineticWash, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765671&page=10 may help | 20:44 |
| gerber | ok let me go check | 20:44 |
| savvas | balgarath: no, sorry :\ | 20:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mageiriki-me-bas, livecd's do have partition editor | 20:44 |
| meoblast001 | linny1: no... what i mean is Hardy is awesome... Intrepid has too many bugs specificially for my hardware | 20:44 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | ok ok | 20:44 |
| balgarath | savvas, thanks anyway, appreciate you testing the file on your comp | 20:44 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Mageiriki-me-bas, then as it says, unmount those partitions, I hope you are running livecd or not using any of them | 20:53 |
| lvr | Lector: yes, but i would have to chown it every time something new is added from the win box, and i really wouldn't mind to | 20:53 |

| Mageiriki-me-bas | Jack_Sparrow, yes im on live cd. But how can i unmount it? | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mageiriki-me-bas, gparted, select the partiition and unmount it.. it is in the menu | 20:54 |

| Lector | Jaza: try the ip instead of carlos | 20:56 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | Jack_Sparrow, now to install ubuntu i must make a Primary partition with ext2 filesystem? | 20:56 |
| Bagel | Almost all from Ubuntu repos. A couple from Medibuntu, and also virtualbox from a .deb | 20:56 |
| Bagel | Otherwise, all Ubuntu repos | 20:57 |
| Jaza | Lector: ok | 20:57 |
| Bagel | There were 200 meg of updates too. | 20:57 |

| Lector | Jaza: save, close, paste again | 20:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bagel, if you got virtualbox from the debian repos and not form ubuntu it could be part of your problem | 20:58 |
| Bagel | Tried that. Just removed the .mozilla directory, so I'm running a completely clean Firefox. Still does it. I've got rid of Flash as well, I think that might've made it slightly better, but only very slightly. | 20:58 |

| Mageiriki-me-bas | Jack_Sparrow, how can i make it see all of the other 25GB of the disk? | 20:58 |
| Bagel | I got virtualbox from sun's website - I needed the non-OSE version. | 20:58 |

| ahaminoo | Hi all, I have a serious problem with the suspend and hibernate | 20:59 |
| ahaminoo | can anybody help | 20:59 |
| Bagel | Do you think vbox is likely to be the cause? I've used it under Hardy with no problems. | 20:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mageiriki-me-bas, Probably a hidden partition as in a recovery partition in a dell or hp etc | 20:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bagel, I use the one from our repos with no problem. | 21:00 |
| jim_p | ahaminoo, are you on ati as well? | 21:00 |
| Mageiriki-me-bas | jack, its an HP. I can see the recovery partition in gparted. Its only 8 GB. And 25 more are still missing... | 21:00 |
| Bagel | The OSE one (in the repos) doesn't have USB support though. | 21:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ahaminoo, HAve some patience | 21:00 |
| Bagel | Mageiriki-me-bas, it's probably the difference between Gigabytes and Gibibytes. | 21:00 |
| Bagel | Base 10 to base 2. | 21:00 |

| Bagel | Check Wikipedia. It can explain it much better than I can. :-) | 21:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_PHP_Jedi, Try a better question, as in what hardware you have etc. | 21:01 |
| Bagel | I'd find you the link if my Firefox was working properly. ;-) | 21:01 |

| ahaminoo | jim_p, everything! | 21:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ahaminoo, The way it woorks is, ask your question all on one line and wait for an answer. If no answer in a couple minutes repeat or rephrase the question | 21:04 |
| usser | ErikWestrup, mkfs usually works on a partition that is already present | 21:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_PHP_Jedi, Look up your hardware compatibility | 21:04 |
| ahaminoo | Jack_Sparrow, I only asked the question once today! | 21:04 |
| jim_p | ahaminoo, let me look it up then | 21:04 |

| AlexKibler | Oh my. That sounds like a problem. No, sorry. I have no idea what it could be. | 21:52 |
| graingert | gaintsura, disable acpit=force | 21:52 |

| nachohi88 | the only one who works is vlc | 21:58 |
| Styx993 | theres .bash_history | 21:59 |
| jim_p | ehmck, and you just put a debian sid repo there and upgraded? | 21:59 |
| linkmaster03 | joejc: it's because most winblows users are too stupid to know what irc is, or how to use an irc client | 21:59 |
| AlexKibler | Anyone know about the initramfs busybox issues? Like, how to fix it.. Or what causes it? | 21:59 |
| jim_p | ehmck, ubuntu and debian repos ARE NOT binary compatible | 21:59 |
| LtL | nite_johnboy: yeah thats the .bash_history file. type ls -la in your home dir | 21:59 |

| rascal999 | how do i get ubuntu to ask for ip dhcp? | 22:13 |
| rascal999 | like ipconfig /renew in windows | 22:13 |
| ikonia | rascal999: if you stop and start networking (or reboot) it will make a dhcp request | 22:14 |

| bdelin88 | ubuntu 8.10 - how would i go about linking my "Desktop" to another folder on a different partition? | 22:14 |
| rascal999 | ikonia: yah i did restart networking but it didn't work | 22:15 |
| Kanam | b'soir | 22:15 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: it stis in your home dir - so it's best to just put your home dir on that new partition | 22:15 |
| w3rd_ | i want to install a persistent install and have virtual box or something on it so that i can try to run vms' via, client, portable, stateless.... i feel that im going to have some issues with i/o but heh cool idea | 22:15 |

| kestutis | where to find BitTorrent client? | 22:15 |
| ikonia | rascal999: what do you expect to happen ? | 22:15 |
| starenka | kestutis: Transmission | 22:15 |
| bdelin88 | for instance, make a folder "Desktop" on partition x that holds the "Desktop" from my ubuntu install on partition a | 22:15 |
| kestutis | i've installed it | 22:15 |
| Kanam | evening | 22:15 |
| kestutis | where is it? | 22:15 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: it's better to move your whole home idr | 22:15 |
| ikonia | dir | 22:15 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: i want it on an ntfs | 22:15 |
| rascal999 | ikonia: for the interface to get an ipv4 address, this doesn't happlen | 22:15 |
| phai | tes | 22:15 |
| phai | tes | 22:15 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: applications > internet > transmission | 22:16 |
| ikonia | rascal999: it doesn't get any address ? | 22:16 |
| luckyone | is there anything like Apple's Time Machine for ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: thats not a good idea in my option, but if you mst, I still say move the whole home directory to ntfs | 22:16 |
| Killeroid | throwt: system > preferences > remote desktop | 22:16 |
| throwt | Killeroid: cool thanks | 22:16 |
| w3rd_ | rsync | 22:16 |
| kestutis | it was installed by default? | 22:16 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia... that's why i just want to link my desktop folder | 22:16 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: yea | 22:16 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: you can aslo install deluge | 22:16 |
| LtL | camason: you're sure the exec bit is set? have you checked adobe for a .deb package a the program? | 22:16 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: thats not advisable at all - I would advise you to move the whole home partition | 22:16 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: it can be done in windows, i am sure it can be done in ubuntu just as easily | 22:16 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: windows is not ubuntu - don't compare | 22:17 |
| kestutis | but i used sudo apt-get install bittorent | 22:17 |
| kestutis | so, have i installed anything new? | 22:17 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: i don't care, i should be able to host my files on a backup so that if i want to wipe it clean, i don't have worry about my files | 22:17 |
| robin0800 | 2009-01-02 09:50:48Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. | 22:17 |
| robin0800 | 2009-01-02 09:50:48Found and enabled local APIC! | 22:17 |
| bdelin88 | and they should be viewable by windows on the network | 22:17 |
| camason | LtL: I looked around for a deb package. It seems people are asking for one. I've done chmod +x on the file, and run as root | 22:17 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: *and they should be viewable by windows on the network | 22:17 |
| ikonia | BentJ: then create a link and remove the old directory, you'll have to do this with the desktop not running though | 22:18 |
| ikonia | oopps | 22:18 |
| robin0800 | gaintsura: see log file snipet | 22:18 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: you installed the generic bittorrent client (its a command line based client) | 22:18 |
| ikonia | bdelin88 then create a link and remove the old directory, you'll have to do this with the desktop not running though | 22:18 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: but again - I would strongly advise against it | 22:18 |
| bdelin88 | oy | 22:18 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: can't i do it the way i have been doing with "Pictures" and "Music" i am just making links on the ntfs drive | 22:18 |
| gaintsura | robin0800: ? I cant see a log, not even at install window yet | 22:19 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: the desktop is in use | 22:19 |
| kestutis | if apt-get install packet-name installs the packet, how to remove it? | 22:19 |
| luckyone | once awn is installed, how do you get it to appear? | 22:19 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: so you won't be able to link over the old one | 22:19 |
| arktvrvs | apt-get remove | 22:19 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: can i gdm stop and then make my new desktop folder on ntfs, then make a symbolic link back into places, is that how to do this? | 22:19 |
| vilemaxim_ | kestutis: aptitude is a little better for all this | 22:19 |
| LtL | camason: the error is probably in a log somewhere, perhaps youre missing some libraries it needs, look at your log files in menu, system - admin - session log | 22:19 |
| maxbaldwin | luckyone: applications --> accessories --> AWN manager or something like that | 22:20 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: sudo apt-get remove packet-name | 22:20 |
| rascal999 | ikonia: no | 22:20 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: that will work | 22:20 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: or do i have to point ubuntu to the new desktop | 22:20 |
| rascal999 | ikonia: ill restart in a minute | 22:20 |
| ikonia | rascal999: is this on a wired or a wirless connection | 22:20 |
| kestutis | what is syntax of aptitude? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: just symlink through will be fine | 22:20 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: so it will treat the symbolic link as the desktop folder, just double checking | 22:20 |
| jim_p | kestutis, the same as apt | 22:20 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: k, great! | 22:20 |
| ikonia | correct | 22:20 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: sudo aptitude remove packet-name | 22:20 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: uh real quick, can you save me some google time and tell me the symbolic link command | 22:20 |
| ikonia | ln -s | 22:20 |

| p4_ | is anyone else getting repository index issues? | 22:21 |
| robin0800 | gaintsura: I think the message is to enable it in the bios my log shows as long as apic is in the bios it will be used In fact there is no way to enable apic in my bios! | 22:21 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: what has that got to do with anything ? | 22:21 |
| ikonia | bdelin88: the command is ln -s | 22:21 |
| vilemaxim_ | kestutis: aptitude tried to resove some conflicts. It remembers if it installed a package as a dependence, thus removes it if it is no longer needed. That kinda stuff | 22:21 |
| luckyone | is awn performance not very good? | 22:21 |
| jim_p | kestutis, aptitude can make package combinations when it comes to more that one set of packages | 22:21 |
| bdelin88 | ikonia: lol ... time is of the essence? i have spent 5 hours today doing it? | 22:21 |
| camason | LtL: nothing that I can see in there. Also, if I tail -f /var/log/* and run the installer, no messages show up | 22:21 |

| ethan | i have a couple of problems | 22:45 |

| ikonia | kestutis: personal preference, try them see what you like | 22:46 |
| maxbaldwin | !best | Ketzu | 22:46 |
| ubottu | Ketzu: 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. | 22:46 |
| Killeroid | !ask | ethan | 22:46 |
| ubottu | ethan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:46 |
| Styx993 | how do i change permissions on a directory? it refuses to do it for me | 22:46 |
| maxbaldwin | tab-complete fail | 22:46 |
| ytnyl | max: epiphany is a browser. i checked under games. it is not there for me. | 22:46 |
| maxbaldwin | !best | kestutis | 22:46 |
| ubottu | kestutis: 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.

| ethan | maxbaldwin: im trying to open my synaptic package manager and it syas error occurred adn i can not open it | 22:46 |
| kestutis | maxbalwin: "best" and "better" have some differences in mean. | 22:46 |
| Styx993 | how do i change permissions on a directory? chmod refuses to do it for me | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Styx993: explain refuses | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Styx993: does it error ? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Styx993: what type of file system are you doing this on ? | 22:47 |
| Styx993 | vfat | 22:47 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: what everyone is trying to tell you is that gnome or kde, it all depends on personal choice. | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Styx993: vfat doesn't support permissions | 22:47 |
| kestutis | Maxbaldwin: "Better" is the second of of adjective whereas "best" is the third one | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Styx993: thats why | 22:47 |
| Styx993 | error when i do chmod a+rwxXst | 22:47 |
| ethan | maxbaldwin? | 22:47 |
| Styx993 | is there a way i can modify files without using sudo? | 22:48 |
| maxbaldwin | ytnyl: launch it from the command line | 22:48 |

| ytnyl | well maybe someone can just recommend me a better browser than firefox? i hate firefox.... i like google chrome, however. | 22:48 |
| ethan | whast the command? maxbaldwin? | 22:48 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: do you have sudo priveledges? | 22:48 |
| kestutis | Maxbaldwin: you could check the dictionary to get additional information of the meaning of these words | 22:48 |
| Killeroid | ytnyl: try opera | 22:48 |
| ytnyl | max: unsure how to do so. | 22:48 |
| ethan | yes i do maxbaldwin | 22:48 |
| Styx993 | ff pwns | 22:48 |
| rconan | Has anyone managed to get a speedtouch usb modem working under intrepid? | 22:48 |
| maxbaldwin | ytnyl: opera sounds good | 22:48 |
| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| ytnyl | opera better than epiphany you guys think? | 22:48 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: open up a terminal and type in "gksu synaptic" | 22:48 |
| mizipzor | hmm... lsmod | grep nvidia... prints nothing, that could be why im stuck at lowres, anyone know a good solution2 | 22:48 |
| mizipzor | ? | 22:49 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: everyone here is a volunteer trying to help out, spare us the english lesson | 22:49 |
| rconan | I'm getting this error: "run_program sbin modprobe abnormal exit" during the udev startup if I have my speedtouch modem plugged in while I boot | 22:49 |
| ytnyl | i guess seeing as how it wont even install properly it probably is.... | 22:49 |
| CyberGabber | ethan: Mostly because an other program (temporary) 'locks' it. Check that, or close al other progs, and try again. | 22:49 |
| ethan | cybergabber: where do i go to check if another program is locked how do i fidn that out? | 22:49 |
| maxbaldwin | ytnyl: w3m is the best. Good ol' CLI | 22:49 |
| mizipzor | $ modprobe nvidia Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:49 |
| kestutis | But KDE wants more resources, a better graphics card, doesn't it? | 22:50 |
| ytnyl | alright, thanks guys. :) i will get rid of epiphany and try alternatives. | 22:50 |
| Killeroid | maxbaldwin: nah, elinks ;) | 22:50 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: it only loads it if it's defined in xorg.conf | 22:50 |
| maxbaldwin | Killeroid: ...no. | 22:50 |
| CyberGabber | ethan: Are you using KDE or Gnome or somewhate, or only commandlin (no graphics)? | 22:50 |
| ethan | cybergabber: im using gnome | 22:51 |
| Killeroid | maxbaldwin: everyone swears by a different browser. elinks is MY god | 22:51 |
| maxbaldwin | CyberGabber: synaptic is a Gnome application | 22:51 |
| mizipzor | ikonia: maybe it got lost in the last update... would reinstalling the drivers be the best way? | 22:51 |
| Styx993 | thx for the help | 22:51 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: no | 22:51 |
| maxbaldwin | Killeroid: I'm installing elinks now to try it... | 22:51 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: just adding the line would be the best way | 22:51 |
| ethan | Cybergabber: the message that keeps coming up is "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 22:51 |

| ytnyl | sky, thanks. i tried it said something about package dependencies and to use synaptic | 22:56 |
| ytnyl | but i can't even see it in syn | 22:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rivitingone, It wont be a hardware issue, just a tweek to get live going | 22:56 |
| thomas_ | I was wondering if I could get some help, how do I find restricted drivers?? | 22:56 |
| skysurfer | ytnyl, use snap then | 22:57 |

| ethan | maxbaldwin: synaptic package manager opended yes but it said i have a broken package and to use the filter | 22:57 |
| ytnyl | sky, what is snap? | 22:57 |
| ikonia | kestutis: xmms2 is not like xmms | 22:57 |
| ethan | maxbaldwin: where do i go to fix the package? | 22:57 |
| ikonia | kestutis: xmms2 is a music "server" | 22:57 |
| skysurfer | ytnyl, are you new to ubuntu | 22:57 |

| ethan | maxbaldwin: somethign just poped up about sun java and went to remove it and an error came up that siad something about crash | 22:59 |
| Killeroid | maxbaldwin: welcome to the church of elinks then :D | 22:59 |
| ytnyl | sky, no problem. worse comes to worse i can just leave it on system for now | 22:59 |
| maxbaldwin | thomas_: did you try google? | 22:59 |
| maxbaldwin | Killeroid: yay | 22:59 |
| ytnyl | the thing wouldn't even install properly and now i can't get rid of it | 22:59 |
| thomas_ | yeah I was looing around on google, but everything is for ubuntu 7.XX | 22:59 |
| mizipzor | ikonia: still got lowres after a reboot | 22:59 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: haha, sounds like a mess. I have no idea- maybe ikonia knows. | 22:59 |
| ethan | does anyone use synaptic? | 22:59 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: try modprobing it now | 22:59 |
| ethan | ikonia? | 22:59 |
| ikonia | ethan: ? | 22:59 |
| ytnyl | ethan, i have it but i can't understand how it works | 23:00 |
| ikonia | ethan: most ubuntu users use synaptic | 23:00 |
| ytnyl | i can't find the program i want to remove in it | 23:00 |
| skysurfer | ytnyl, go into system,then administration,click on synap | 23:00 |
| nickrud_ | ytnyl, try sudo apt-get -f install ; if that fails put the full output on paste.ubuntu.com | 23:00 |
| mizipzor | ikonia: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia | 23:00 |
| Gnea | ethan: what's the packagename that's failing? | 23:00 |
| mizipzor | ikonia: after modprobe nvidia | 23:00 |
| ethan | gnea: its called sun java | 23:00 |
| kestutis | in ubuntu where executable files appears? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: where did you get that driver set from ? | 23:00 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: what's the name of it? sun-jdk-java6? | 23:01 |
| kestutis | as in windows it's c:/program files | 23:01 |
| ikonia | kestutis: /usr/bin normally | 23:01 |
| nickrud_ | kestutis, in /usr/bin ; support files usually in /usr/share ,, /usr/lib, and /etc | 23:01 |
| ethan | maxbaldwin: yes thats it | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kestutis, IWe dont have /exe's | 23:01 |
| Gnea | ethan: packagenames don't have spaces in them, what is the *exact* name, please? | 23:01 |
| mizipzor | ikonia: downloaded them from the nvidia website like 6 months ago or something | 23:01 |
| Gnea | oh | 23:01 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: ok one second... | 23:01 |
| Gnea | ethan: nevermind | 23:01 |
| ikonia | ughhhh why did you do that | 23:01 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: thats the problem | 23:01 |
| ytnyl | sky, how do i find epiphany under synaptic ? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: you should be using the ones ubuntu packages for you | 23:02 |
| mizipzor | ikonia: i rarely do updates since it usually breaks something like this and im not comfortable enough with linux yet to fix it | 23:02 |
| ethan | maxbaldwin:sorry no tis called "sun-java6-jre" | 23:02 |
| kestutis | so if i want. can i execute a program directly from file manager? | 23:02 |
| suup | Could I ask a python question here? | 23:02 |
| thomas_ | Well here is a better question: In ubuntu 8.10 how do I know what restricted drivers are running on my system? | 23:02 |
| skysurfer | ok then i got one im installing 8.10 on daughters eeepc 900 will it be easy to get the wireless drivers using the terminal | 23:02 |
| Gnea | ethan: try running this: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get -f install | 23:02 |

| WastePotato | Hi. How do I change my icon theme on GNOME? | 23:02 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: that's the package that's mucked up? | 23:02 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: double click | 23:02 |
| ikonia | mizipzor: then you should have used the versions ubuntu package for you if your not confident with linux | 23:02 |
| nickrud_ | WastePotato, system->prefs->appearances -> customize button, icon tab | 23:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | skysurfer, eeebuntu will do a better job of wireless on an ee box | 23:03 |
| kestutis | for example, where xchat appears? | 23:03 |
| zykes- | anyone here got a link on how to configure intrepid /etc/network/interface for wpa ? | 23:03 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: /usr/bin/xchat | 23:03 |
| Gnea | mizipzor: using nvidia drivers directly from the site in ubuntu will always cause more problems than it solves. do you still have the original file downloaded? | 23:03 |
| ethan | maxbaldwin:yes | 23:03 |
| thomas_ | I'm in the hardware driveres but it says that there are no drivers in use... are the X3100 and other intel chipset drivers come with ubuntu 8.10 by default? | 23:03 |
| skysurfer | jack-sparrow how do i get that mate 1 | 23:03 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: pull up a terminal and type in "sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jre && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" | 23:04 |
| maxbaldwin | ethan: that _should_ fix everything. | 23:04 |
| thomas_ | do the X3100** | 23:04 |

| nickrud_ | thomas_, yes, the drivers for the intel chips are open source not restricted | 23:04 |
| sidewalk | Squideshi: what is there to know? | 23:04 |

| sidewalk | who has questions about eee? | 23:05 |
| mizipzor | Gnea: hmm... i have a bunch of files i tried, cant be sure which one was the one that worked though | 23:05 |
| WastePotato | !!! | 23:05 |
| sidewalk | Squideshi: ahh, dunno, have you googled for it? | 23:05 |
| Gnea | maxbaldwin: well, removing it would get rid of any installation information, but the package file itself would remain in the cache, which is why I suggested sudo apt-get clean, so it would re-download it | 23:05 |
| WastePotato | nickrud: Thank you so much. <3 | 23:05 |
| graingert | Squideshi, use a live cd | 23:06 |
| Squideshi | sidewalk: Yes, but I haven't been able to locate that information. | 23:06 |
| graingert | Squideshi, and find out | 23:06 |

| ytnyl | guys, under synaptic. what is the difference between mark for removal and mark for complete removal? | 23:08 |
| Squideshi | graingert: I've actually installed Ubuntu 8.10. The problem is that xrandr doesn't report TV as an output, even though I have an s-video output. I don't know if this is caused by the driver not supporting it, or another problem, hence the question. | 23:08 |
| ytnyl | anyone understand it? | 23:08 |
| graingert | groundup, see if you can uninstall it | 23:08 |

| Squideshi | Seito: xrandr doesn't show a TV output, even though I have an s-video output. | 23:09 |
| graingert | groundup, go here http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ | 23:09 |
| graingert | groundup, and tell me what version you get... | 23:09 |
| genii | kestutis: Install from Add/Remove Programs. You don't "open" it as such. You use like: gpc codefilename.pas -o outputfilename | 23:10 |
| groundup | graingert: okay, this may take a second. I am on a slow connection in Iraq. | 23:10 |
| graingert | groundup, cool... | 23:10 |
| kestutis | can i make executable file for unix systems? | 23:10 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | can anyone tell me how to synchronize tomboynotes on the web? i know how to do it with ssh and crap but i cant find any free services and wouldnt know how to use those free services if i found them. I cannot, I repeat, cannot find anything on the web. | 23:10 |
| ytnyl | groundup, you are in iraq? | 23:11 |
| graingert | ytnyl, well ner | 23:11 |
| groundup | ytnyl: yeah | 23:11 |
| Killeroid | groundup: type this url in firefox "about:plugins" (withoutt he quotes of course). the first plugin is called shockwave flash, the flash version is listed | 23:11 |
| groundup | graingert: it doesn't give me a version | 23:11 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: yes, you can, | 23:11 |
| graingert | groundup, mouseover "about" | 23:11 |
| Seito | <Squideshi>I've heard somewhere that it won't work. e.g. my laptop (hp compaq 6720s) has integrated modem (agere if I'm not wrong) - it even not exist in device list... (sysinfo) | 23:12 |

| Robbie_Crash | I'm trying to move a hard drive from my Ubuntu box to a different computer, but every time I remove it, I can only boot into BusyBox. I know that the hdd that I'm moving off isn't the hdd that Ubuntu is installed on, and it's not even mounted. If I attach a CDROM to the same IDE channel that the HDD was on, the system boots fine. So I'm pretty sure it's a problem with GRUB and where it's pointing to boot from. | 23:12 |
| kestutis | so, just outputfilename wihout extension? | 23:12 |
| groundup | graingert: v9. I was using the about:plugins in FF and that flash animation just said 9 as well | 23:12 |
| Killeroid | kestutis: yes, | 23:13 |
| nemozox | uh | 23:13 |

| maxbaldwin | iLogic: burn a new CD | 23:20 |
| kestutis | i compiled | 23:20 |
| nickrud_ | ytnyl, complete removal removes config in /etc ; removal does not. You decide :) | 23:21 |
| kestutis | i doesn't open by double-click | 23:21 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | maxbaldwin, ok | 23:21 |

| ac3_0f_spad3s | skysurfer, dont know how to do what? | 23:22 |
| nickrud_ | ytnyl, use complete removal then. /etc is where system wide configs are kept. As a general rule, you would only leave the residual /etc config if you had already customized it and thought you might want to reinstall the app and use those custom values | 23:22 |
| skysurfer | how to sent to your email | 23:22 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | just email like a normal email | 23:22 |

| ytnyl | nickrud, thank you.... i will never use epiphany browser again... it's install was all buggy and everything and then i had trouble getting rid of it | 23:24 |

| Tuc | Hi | 23:25 |
| Armageddon00 | iLogic: I was looking for something that would run outside of the context of a web browser, something that I could reduce to an icon when I wasn`t using it. | 23:25 |
| iLogic | nevermind.. I'll just try opensuse | 23:25 |
| Armageddon00 | phai: Thanks, I`ll look into that. | 23:25 |
| nickrud_ | mizipzor, that will only show restricted drivers available for your particular hardware; what are you looking for? | 23:25 |

| Tuc | used gcc' | 23:26 |
| Skippy1981 | TeamColtra[NADC], backing up your home directory will take care of quite a large number of your settings, after doing this you would only need to worry about package reinstallation and system configuration | 23:27 |

| nickrud_ | mizipzor, ok, first lets check that you have the right sources. system->admin->software sources, the first four items should be checked (fourth is the restricted one) | 23:28 |
| genii | gaintsura: Do you have more than 2.5 Gb of hd space? | 23:28 |
| nickrud_ | mizipzor, 3rd I mean | 23:28 |
| Robbie_Crash | TeamColtra[NADC] write a cron to do it | 23:28 |
| gaintsura | genii: yes, not much more, but more than 2.5 | 23:28 |
| mizipzor | nickrud_: everythings checked | 23:28 |
| Seito | <TeamColtra[NADC]> try sbackup (after creating backup just copy folder with backup where do you like) | 23:28 |
| genii | gaintsura: OK. So check the md5 sum of the cdrom image and make sure it is good. Also I would recommend to run the memtest of the cdrom on your box to test the ram for at least a few hours | 23:29 |
| nickrud_ | mizipzor, ok, close that and run in a terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) the funny stuff at the end makes sure we're getting the right stuff for the kernel you're running) | 23:30 |

| nickrud_ | mizipzor, it should be. Check hardware drivers again, see if it's enabled | 23:45 |
| stinger05 | Seito: its written in correctly | 23:45 |
| mizipzor | nickrud_: "in use" according to that | 23:45 |
| kestutis | anyone uses GPC? | 23:45 |
| jojo_ | hola | 23:46 |
| Seito | <stinger05>so it don't run from the launcher, but runs from command-line? | 23:46 |
| arch_lad_ | hi | 23:46 |
| stinger05 | Seido: correct my friend. | 23:46 |
| jojo_ | hola | 23:46 |
| nickrud_ | mizipzor, I'm not sure what's going on then. Do you have more than one video chip? Like onboard and a board? | 23:46 |
| jojo_ | algun español en la sala | 23:47 |
| Flannel | !es | jojo_ | 23:47 |
| ubottu | jojo_: 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. | 23:47 |
| mizipzor | nickrud_: nope, this is the only one i got | 23:47 |
| ubutnudiskproble | I had a corruped hd and I removed it, but ubuntu complains about it not being there. | 23:47 |
| ubutnudiskproble | on bootup | 23:47 |
| nickrud_ | mizipzor, ok put up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:47 |
| ubutnudiskproble | how do I tell ubuntu that the hard drive is gone and not to expect it. | 23:48 |
| arch_lad_ | ubutnudiskproble: tried removing it from /etc/fstab ? | 23:48 |
| Fractured | Im trying to share a USB external FAT32 hard drive to the rest of the network over SMB, but Ubuntu will not have it... I can share other things just fine, any ideas? | 23:48 |
| ubutnudiskproble | arch_lad_: It got there by itself somehow so I'm concerned it might be defined somewhere else. | 23:49 |
| yoss | aha. alright. | 23:49 |
| Oli`` | How do you get past the cdrom detection in the alternate disk from USB (where there is no cdrom)? | 23:49 |
| antonia | hey guys i cannot mount my cdrom | 23:49 |
| mizipzor | nickrud_: http://pastebin.com/f4bdc5a4e | 23:49 |
| antonia | when i put a cd in, nothing happens | 23:49 |
| antonia | when i try to mount it says its a bad fs type | 23:49 |
| antonia | and i know its a cd that works | 23:49 |
| ehmck | someon please help-- i'm super desperate-- been spending last8hrs on this, and keep making things worse-- I'm on Hardy and upgraded to newer vim version by adding this to my sources: http://packages.debian.org/sid/vim, and then did an apt-get install vim-full, but the upgrade apparently broke my pidgin (and probably other things)-- how do i go back to the previous state? | 23:49 |
| shiraj | how do i login to root? | 23:49 |
| shiraj | i want to change the ownership of adirectory | 23:50 |
| genii | !root | shiraj | 23:50 |
| ubottu | shiraj: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:50 |
| mizipzor | nickrud_: http://pastebin.com/ff912f9d | 23:50 |
| Flannel | ehmck: You'll have to manually pin package versions on everything that the upgrade brought in to the hardy versions | 23:50 |
| darkrubicant | evening, got my graphics problem sorted, but I'm looking for assistance with playing a .it file. | 23:50 |
| ehmck | Flannel: is there a way to figure out what all that is? is a log created somewhere with what I did-- my term was closed | 23:50 |
| darkrubicant | it's a music file | 23:51 |
| genii | ehmck: There is a dpkg log | 23:51 |
| Flannel | ehmck: You can likely get what packages were upgraded from your dpkg.log. I'm sure you've already figured it out by now, but I'll say it anyway: Don't mix repositories; and debian (even if its the right version) packages aren't binary compatable | 23:51 |
| Flannel | ehmck: /var/log/dpkg.log | 23:51 |

| Seito | <shiraj> type sudo -s, then enter current user pass. it'll switch you to root. then type passwd - to change root pass. then if you need in the future root priveleges, type su, then root password | 23:52 |
| Flannel | !noroot | Seito, shiraj | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Seito, shiraj: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 23:52 |
| genii | Seito: You are not giving good advice | 23:52 |
| Guest38491 | So how limited am I, in terms of Computer Games I can play, if I use Ubuntu rather than Winows? | 23:52 |
| skooz | thanks nickrud_ | 23:52 |
| nickrud_ | mizipzor, I've reached my troubleshooting limit here. One card, correct Xorg.conf, you have hardware drivers saying nvidia is in use, and the log says it's using the failsafe. I'm not familiar enough with how this new X works to get any further | 23:52 |
| === Guest38491 is now known as Lunestra | ||
| Flannel | Guest38491: There's a number of native games (see !games), and also you'll find a good deal of windows-only games will work with wine | 23:53 |
| Seito | ok guys, so then best way is use of sudo :) | 23:53 |

| lstarnes | zone5: /msg, not dcc chat | 23:56 |
| wes | yup | 23:56 |
| ehmck | Flannel: genii: so where it says "upgrade blah 4.2.1~sdf-3ubuntu3 4.2.2~sdf-12" it means it upgraded from the first item to the last item?-- and so i should do a apt-get install blah=4.2.1~sdf? | 23:56 |
| zone5 | kk i sent request | 23:57 |
| jaymtee_ | ytnyl: right click and see if all the output controls are set to high enough values | 23:57 |
| ac3_0f_spad3s | :| | 23:57 |
| genii | ehmck: Did you fix your sources.list first already? | 23:57 |
| ytnyl | jaymtee: oh! | 23:57 |
| ehmck | genii: yeah | 23:57 |
| ytnyl | thanks. one sec | 23:57 |
| Flannel | ehmck: You'll have to use your apt_preferences, and pin the package versions back (or remove and reinstall, however I'm worried you'll end up having to remove very important packages for that method) | 23:57 |
| jaymtee_ | Lunestra: it costs $$ but is a very nice implementation | 23:57 |
| MaJiKaLL | need help with wireless problem. I am connected to home wireless network. running ubuntu x64 8.10. now i can connect to the wireless network perfectly using wpa encrpytion. However if i leave my connection running for say downloading torrents, the signal drops significantly that i have to refresh the connection. anyone know what may be causing this. p.s. i am dual booting windows vista 64bit and wireless works for days on end without in | 23:57 |
| genii | ehmck: It's a tricky business due to the underlying dependencies | 23:58 |
| ehmck | Flannel: yeah-- it will-- it pretty much has to remove everything-- thought of that possibility already | 23:58 |
| wes | zone5, where are you? | 23:58 |
| ehmck | Flannel: i mean for uninstall and reinstall | 23:58 |
| ytnyl | jaymtee: you're my hero :) thanks. that fixed it. first time using linux. i didn't know it had more controls | 23:58 |
| zone5 | wes ... hmm did i do something wrong. its still waiting for acknowledgement | 23:58 |
| zone5 | oklahoma city | 23:59 |
| Flannel | ehmck: You'll have to use apt_preferences (man apt_preferences is very detailed) -- to get it to downgrade you need priorities higher than 1000 | 23:59 |
| wes | weird | 23:59 |
| ehmck | Flannel: genii: but if i use apt_preferences i should be ok? | 23:59 |
| zone5 | whats up | 23:59 |
| wes | one second | 23:59 |
| Flannel | ehmck: Yeah, it'll force the downgrades, etc. | 23:59 |
| jaymtee_ | ytnyl: no biggie glad to help | 23:59 |
| lstarnes | zone5: try using a regular /msg or /query instead of a dcc chat | 23:59 |
