| kestutis | i installed Adobe PS CS2. i open it with WINE. IT shows: "You are not allowed to continue because your account doesnt have the proper privileges. Please log in using an account with administrator privilegies and try again" | 00:41 |

| __MAV1 | hspaans: thank you! | 00:42 |

| mib_2dc6mp | I am going through this tutorial on getting my soundcard to work with ubuntu and it says I need to dl the alsa source, but wouldnt that come standard | 00:43 |
| mib_2dc6mp | it says: "The Installation You need the linux-headers package for your current kernel to compile the ALSA drivers If you don't know what your current kernel is type this in the terminal uname -r You also need to download the ALSA source files from alsa-project.org, I recommend alsa-libs, alsa-driver, alsa-firmware, and alsa-utils, versions 1.0.12rc1 or newer" | 00:44 |
| === Guest47964 is now known as Danielbw_home | ||
| ActionParsnip | mib_2dc6mp: you can download it via apt-get or go to the alsa site and grab the latest there | 00:44 |
| ebaby | Slart: screen is frozen nothing takes | 00:44 |
| Slart | ebaby: try the power button | 00:44 |

| faileas | lepassive: what kinda files? | 01:08 |
| mattbd | Chungwa: Basically you need the stuff they ask for as dependencies to compile it. Maybe there's a deb package somewhere though | 01:09 |
| lepassive | aviS | 01:09 |
| JonathanEllis | Chungwa: This is the same as installing using the graphical interface in |Applications|Add/Remove or using Synaptic if you know the package name. But this only works if the package is in a repository that is enabled in your ubuntu | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | seth: if you get your whole system updated it may help | 01:09 |
| lepassive | faileas, avis* | 01:09 |
| Slart | faileas: but go ahead.. ebaby is the one with the non-cooperative graphics card.. a via chrome 9.. vesa doesn't work, failsafe just restarts x, ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't show a command line (only snow) | 01:09 |
| Slart | ebaby: go ahead.. | 01:09 |
| * faileas might suggest photorec, and possibly roadkil's file recovery if he has a linux box | 01:09 | |
| faileas | ebaby: tried the alternate disk? | 01:09 |
| JonathanEllis | Chungwa: If you are trying to use make then it sounds like you are installing from source code which is slightly more difficult | 01:10 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: according to what i've seen so far, you're trying to compile alsa in ubuntustudio? | 01:10 |
| faileas | Slart: lol, its a pain keeping track of who's saying what on a busy channel ;p | 01:10 |
| Slart | faileas: =) | 01:10 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea | 01:10 |
| mib_2dc6mp | I think so | 01:10 |
| mib_2dc6mp | but I found alsa in synaptic and downloaded it | 01:10 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: well, I don't think that's really necessary | 01:10 |
| JonathanEllis | Chungwa: And usually results in me swearing a lot whenever I try it! Usually its not necessary as the software is pre-packaged but it seems that Scourge is not packaged for Ubuntu | 01:10 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: and alsa is installed by default | 01:10 |
| ebaby | Slart: interesting: says: [ Minimal Bash- like line editing is supported. then grub> - Your call... | 01:10 |

| mib_2dc6mp | I am trying to go through this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EchoMia | 01:10 |
| Chungwa | I may have been! Haha, I know I'm not really giving you guys enough information to help me - I don't even know what I was trying to do | 01:10 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: what problem are you having with sound, exactly? | 01:11 |
| lepassive | faileas, then photorec or roadkil | 01:11 |
| skooz | whoops | 01:11 |
| mib_2dc6mp | It is supposed to help me set my audio card up | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: s/he needs to compile alsa | 01:11 |
| mib_2dc6mp | but so far Gnea I cant figure out what I need to do | 01:11 |
| faileas | lepassive: photorec should be in the repos i thinl | 01:11 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: which audio card do you have? | 01:11 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: okay. | 01:11 |

| lepassive | faileas, thanks alot I hope that solves it | 01:11 |
| mib_2dc6mp | I didnt follow the guyide is the problem, instead of using terminal, I downloaded alsa source from synaptic | 01:12 |
| mattbd | Chungwa: It's not in GetDeb or PlayDeb, which are the normal places to look for games | 01:12 |
| lepassive | faileas, it's aliased to testdisk | 01:12 |
| decomp | hi all, trying to do the 'recover ubuntu after winblows install hosed grub' thing. I am using knoppix to boot and reinstall grub however i cannot chroot to the mounted partition, it keeps telling me /bin/bash Exec format error? ive tried different things cant get it to work for some reason | 01:12 |
| Chungwa | Man, I used me a wiz on computers when I was in high school. Now turning them on seems difficult! I'll check out GetDeb and PlayDeb I think I need to just go slowly | 01:12 |
| faileas | seadyah: backup linux, get the dban boot disk and erase your hard drive, install windows, reinstall linux | 01:12 |
| JonathanEllis | Chungwa: If you need more info than is in the article I gave you then google "ubuntu installing software" | 01:12 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's back up for a bit here - are you using 8.04 or 8.10? | 01:13 |
| seadyah | faileas, I dban? | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Chungwa: apt-cache search game | less | 01:13 |
| mattbd | Chungwa: Playdeb and Getdeb are really good resources so they may have a good alternative for you | 01:13 |
| faileas | seadyah: lots of recovery disk software fail on systems with anything other than the partitions they sell it with | 01:13 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I am using ubuntustudio 8.04 32bit | 01:13 |
| Gnea | ok | 01:13 |
| faileas | seadyah: unfortunately yes | 01:13 |
| JonathanEllis | Chungwa: Alternatively start less ambitious and try installing some of the games in the repositories. Use |Applications|Add/Remove and then select Games | 01:13 |
| mattbd | Chungwa: UFO Alien Invasion is very good | 01:13 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: could you please pastebin the output of the dmesg command? | 01:14 |
| Chungwa | I'll give those a try. Thanks all! | 01:14 |
| faileas | (and YES, i am telling you to nuke the contents of your disk, and there's a reason) | 01:14 |
| seadyah | faileas, I did wipe the disc with a Safe Data Disposal program (iso) that is manufactured by the same company as my computer. That did not work. | 01:14 |

| Slart | ebaby: did you chose the recovery menu choice? | 01:14 |

| ubottu | sudobash: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 01:30 |
| Slart | ebaby: hmmm... I'm starting to run out of ideas to try.. and I'm running out of time | 01:30 |
| skooz | is there a way to set display setting on start up or something cant see top of my screen or bottom | 01:30 |
| Gnea | ethan2: your best bet is to explain your problem in as much detail as you can, I'm sure someone here can help you. | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | skooz: you can set it in xorg.conf | 01:30 |
| ebaby | Slart: back to "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" | 01:30 |
| sudobash | WHY use QEmu or VBox when VMware works better? | 01:30 |
| Gnea | ethan2: also, check that URL out that ubottu ave you | 01:30 |
| Gnea | sudobash: it doesn't work better in every circumstance. | 01:31 |
| Slart | ebaby: mm.. the ever so helpful failsafe X | 01:31 |
| wj32 | sudobash: some people have moral issues with using non-free software | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: if they are "better" why do the other 2 even exist as no one would use them | 01:31 |
| lstarnes | sudobash: qemu and virtualbox are open-source plus in many cases they work better | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: there are advantages to both | 01:31 |
| sudobash | VMPlayer is free.............................. | 01:31 |
| ethan2 | gnea: yes ik but osmone just helped me form this and now my wireless doesnt work at all | 01:31 |
| sudobash | VMServer is free | 01:31 |
| lstarnes | sudobash: but it is not open-source | 01:31 |
| ebaby | Slart: via has a site where they have posted some drivers for other everex computers do u think those might work? | 01:31 |
| Slart | ebaby: try asking the channel again.. I just don't know what more to try | 01:31 |

| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea ok now we are in business: /f4ef29b | 01:31 |
| mattbd | sudobash:qemu is portable and vbox is easy to use | 01:31 |
| Slart | ebaby: I have no idea.. it can't really get worse than it is | 01:31 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: ok | 01:31 |
| sudobash | ok then say some ppl have problem running non open source apps | 01:31 |
| ethan2 | gnea: im runniing xubuntu and before i got wireless but it didnt work right and now i dont get it at all | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: it is free, but no single application is "best" or "better" due to varying requirements and tastes | 01:32 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I just want to say I really appreciate you helping me, I know this is taking a long time, but without your help I would be stuck | 01:32 |
| ethan2 | gnea: i need help im new to xubuntu and i have no clue how to | 01:32 |

| geeksquad | where can i get it on windows my linux system is out of internet | 01:34 |
| wj32 | geeksquad: that's not easy, as vlc depends on lots of other packages | 01:34 |
| geeksquad | i can transfer the .deb | 01:34 |
| ethan2 | does anyone know becuase i also get an error message from pigin | 01:35 |
| wj32 | geeksquad: the problem is there are LOTS of debs you'll need to download manually | 01:35 |
| geeksquad | my drive is 16 gb | 01:35 |
| lstarnes | sudobash: I have booted a partition from within qemu once | 01:35 |
| geeksquad | how many | 01:35 |
| faileas | geeksquad: its more that its a pain in the ass to do | 01:35 |
| mattbd | geeksquad: It can still be fiddly | 01:35 |
| Jordan_U | geeksquad: You can create a script that will download them all via synaptic | 01:35 |
| skooz | what do i need to type with xorg.conf | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | geeksquad: you can install it off your install CD | 01:35 |
| mattbd | geeksquad: You can run apt-cache depends vlc to list the dependencies | 01:36 |
| ethan2 | "the irc server picked up a messgae it did not understand" i got that error message while using pigin can anyone help? | 01:36 |
| wj32 | geeksquad: vlc-nox, libaa1, libass1, libvlccore0, libxinerama1, vlc-core | 01:36 |
| nickrud | geeksquad, select it in synaptic; the script uses wget which you can get for windows and convert the script to .bat fairly easily iirc | 01:36 |

| wj32 | ethan2: i'm 100% you can click the network icon | 01:40 |

| Chungwa | Oh, I've got another question! Since I moved to ubuntu whenever I watch a video (avi divx) there are very slight lines (or is it pixelization?)on the video. Any idea how to make it look a little better (the video looking fine when I viewed it in Vista before my switch) | 01:41 |
| wj32 | Chungwa: turn deinterlacing off | 01:41 |
| usr13 | ethan2: And see if you can find a way to get it to conect to the particular essid of your wireless AP. | 01:41 |
| skooz | i can load ubuntu | 01:41 |
| Chungwa | How do I do that? (I'm a COMPLETE newbie) | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Chungwa: have you installed video drivers and got codecs installed | 01:42 |
| wj32 | Chungwa: oh wait you can't do that anymore | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | skooz: boot to linux, then run gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:42 |
| wj32 | i swear you could turn deinterlacing on/off in totem before | 01:42 |
| Chungwa | ActionParsnip: I did, yes. I choose the recommended drivers and downloaded some codecs for divx | 01:42 |
| wj32 | Chungwa: in the View menu, is there a Deinterlacing menu item? | 01:43 |
| ethan2 | i cant | 01:43 |
| seth | Can anyone tell me how to roll back my kernel from Interpid to Hardy? | 01:43 |
| usr13 | Chungwa: What video player do you use? What display adapter are you using? What video driver are you using? | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Chungwa: maybe you ned a tweak for your video card | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | seth: Did you upgrade? | 01:43 |
| tbrock | hey guys, what is a good nzb downloader for linux | 01:43 |
| tbrock | preferably a gnome one | 01:43 |
| seth | Jordan_U: Yes | 01:43 |

| wj32 | tbrock: what's nzb | 01:43 |
| usr13 | seth sudo apt-get downgrade | 01:44 |

| tbrock | binary news | 01:44 |
| wj32 | skooz: have you got grub installed? | 01:44 |
| tbrock | ok thanks matt | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | skooz | 01:44 |

| mattbd | ActionParsnip: Newsbinz | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | seth: You can boot from the old kernel by pressing escape at boot | 01:44 |
| seth | usr13: I came a hair to typing that in...lol | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !info newsbinz | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Package newsbinz does not exist in intrepid | 01:44 |
| Chungwa | Oh, there is something about deinterlacing! | 01:44 |
| wj32 | Chungwa: turn it off | 01:44 |
| nickrud | tbrock, pan supports nzb as well | 01:44 |
| mattbd | ActionParsnip: He means he wants to download files from usenet | 01:45 |
| skooz | yes i can boot into ubuntu just cant see top or bottom of screen to see the menus | 01:45 |
| seth | Jordan_U: Thanks. | 01:45 |
| wj32 | weird, does anyone else see a View > Deinterlacing menu item in totem? | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | seth: You probably don't want to do that permanently though, what problem are you having with the new kernel? | 01:45 |
| usr13 | seth: Jordan_U has serious advise.... | 01:45 |

| seth | usr13: I'll try to remember that. | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mattbd: nice | 01:46 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | question | 01:46 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay - not sure how much that's going to help, considering it's for an older version of Ubuntu. I did notice this: 02:0b.0 Multimedia controller: Motorola DSP56361 Digital Signal Processor (rev 01) | 01:46 |
| wj32 | Chungwa: you'll need deinterlacing on for most DVDs | 01:47 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I noticed the synaptic did not have the libs, so I decided it would be best to do all 3 again (hopefully an overwrite of whatever synaptic did wont hurt) | 01:47 |
| eseven73 | I cant find deluge in the repos is it just a ibex package? Im on Hardy | 01:47 |
| wj32 | eseven73: download it from the website. it has the latest version | 01:47 |
| Chungwa | wj32: I'll keep that in mind, thanks | 01:47 |
| eseven73 | ok | 01:47 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: well, if you can hold off on that for a bit, I'd like to see if we can find the firmware, drop it in and see if that works | 01:47 |
| mattbd | eseven73: It's as deluge-torrent, but I'd grab it from the website | 01:47 |
| mib_2dc6mp | ok | 01:47 |
| seth | Jordan_U: I have a Dell Insiron 1501 and the CD Drive worked fine until I upgraded to 8.10 and did all the updates. | 01:48 |

| san | try deluge-torrent | 01:48 |
| Jordan_U | seth: Did you upgrade via update-manager? | 01:48 |

| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | i run ubuntu on my home pc, but im not at home and on a windows machine.. and it seems to be infected with virus's... im wanting to do some work from this pc but be safe. I dont want my pwd's getting stolen or anyting and was wondering if i used ubuntu live cd.. would the possible virus's not be run from teh windows | 01:48 |
| usr13 | johninlex: Will try... | 01:49 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | hope that makes sense | 01:49 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Ubuntu won't get infected just because Windows has a virus | 01:49 |
| gvsa123 | i'm trying to access our home network via ubuntu and installed samba. i've shared one of my directories in ubuntu for testing, but from the ms side, it's asking me for a username and password. i tried to use my login in ubuntu, but it doesn't work.. can anyone help? | 01:49 |
| johninlex | I have tried ndiswrapper and madwifi and cant get it to work | 01:49 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: the rule with computers is there's no black magic | 01:49 |
| usr13 | johninlex: Just state your problem. Someone is bound to know what to do about it. | 01:49 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | if there was a trojan or possible key capture program.. i would be safe using ubuntu live cd | 01:49 |
| usr13 | what wifi nic is it? | 01:49 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: well, I just found a few things that might help - they're a bit more up-to-date | 01:49 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Windows programs don't run on Ubuntu | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | webbhawk_h4x0r42: makes sense, if you boot to live cd, you can mount the windows drive and read the data | 01:49 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Viruses, trojans, and spyware are windows programs | 01:50 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea that is excellent | 01:50 |
| vileli8ves | Jordan_U figured it out. I needed to switch to gecko to get things working. mplayer just hates my system, I guess. thanks anyway! | 01:50 |
| usr13 | johninlex: Which nic do you have? | 01:50 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491735 | 01:50 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I am open to whatver you want to tr | 01:50 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Therefore viruses, trojans and spyware won't run on Ubuntu | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | webbhawk_h4x0r42: the windows keylogger will not run as windows is not running, its linux | 01:50 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Again, no black magic | 01:50 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | wj32: so i thought right.. it would be much safer this way | 01:50 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: still looking through it - looks like all you probably need to do is download and compile the firmware | 01:50 |
| faileas | gvsa123: depends on how you set it up | 01:50 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | wj32: i didnt get that saying you said.. no black magic one... | 01:50 |
| usr13 | johninlex: lspci | 01:50 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: oh its just that some people think that computers do magical things | 01:51 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: never mind | 01:51 |
| johninlex | it is a theros wireless card ar242x, I have tried my windows driver | 01:51 |
| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: what i said wasn't entirely true because there might be viruses and spyware for linux in the future | 01:51 |
| gvsa123 | faileas: just installed samba, restarted the daemon, right clicked on one of my folders from /home and shared it. | 01:51 |

| loafers | I have a .img file I would like to mount, is there a program to do this? Or something to extract the contents? | 01:52 |
| BWF89 | I think most anti-virus software for Linux isn't to detect Linux viruses. it's to detect Windows viruses so that you don't pass them onto your friends who use Windows. | 01:52 |
| faileas | gvsa123: no http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend | 01:52 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Linux is popular on servers, not just desktops | 01:52 |
| wj32 | i agree with BWF89 | 01:53 |
| faileas | loafers: i can't rememeber how to do it offhand but you're looking at something called loopmounting | 01:53 |
| BWF89 | same with anti-virus software for Mac OSX. | 01:53 |
| loafers | I tried that but I think it only works for .iso files | 01:53 |
| loafers | mine is .img file | 01:53 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | is the "linux" community working to keep virus out .. even in the future | 01:54 |
| loafers | and cdemu doesn't support that file either i think | 01:54 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: They are very fast at patching known vulnerabilities compared to MS | 01:54 |
| wj32 | loafers: have you tried mounting it using -o loop? | 01:54 |

| wj32 | eseven73: i've had that error lots of times, and -f install has always fixed it | 01:57 |
| faileas | well any account thats on the linux box anyway | 01:57 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | will the live cd be very slow.. hard to get some work done? im gona be working online.. on websites | 01:57 |
| faileas | gvsa123: i have one file server and a mix of linux and windows boxen- this setup works brilliently | 01:57 |
| kgodwin | webbhawk_h4x0r42: It ran decently enough for me, but isntalling it is 1000% better. | 01:57 |

| wj32 | webbhawk_h4x0r42: well if ubuntu crashes for some reason you're going to lose all your work | 01:57 |
| rww | webbhawk_h4x0r42: it depends very much on your hardware, so we're not going to be able to tell you specifics. | 01:58 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | yeah | 01:58 |
| johninlex | usr13 that would be easy if it was just a restricted driver, | 01:58 |
| rww | eseven73: pastebin the new output, please | 01:58 |
| seth | Jordan_U: I rebooted and tried the older kernel and my CD Drive does not work..So I guess that means it is a hardware problem. | 01:58 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: If you really need a faster system you could use a lighter distro | 01:58 |

| wj32 | eseven73: but you should still get the latest version from the website | 02:00 |
| wj32 | eseven73: deluge-torrent.org | 02:00 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Plus DSL downloads in a couple of minutes for most people | 02:00 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | mattbd: when i use a live cd.. can i install thing still or no. like if i needed a chat application could i d/l and install xchat | 02:00 |
| eseven73 | wj32: yeah i did that first, then got the errors, so then i tried to install it from repos | 02:00 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: do you get any results from this command? ls -l /usr/lib/libasound* | 02:00 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | or some.. firefox extensions.. firebug and stuff | 02:00 |
| wj32 | eseven73: the problem is you had to run apt-get install -f first | 02:00 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Depends on the distro. In Ubuntu you can install it to your current session | 02:00 |
| rww | webbhawk_h4x0r42: on the Ubuntu LiveCD, yes; apt-get and synaptic work just like on a full install. | 02:01 |
| wj32 | eseven73: not that the website version doesn't work | 02:01 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: But when you reboot it won't be there | 02:01 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r42 | thats fine.. is there a way to create a custom livecd maybe | 02:01 |
| mattbd | webbhawk_h4x0r42: Ubuntu Customization Kit | 02:01 |
| eseven73 | wj32: so what exactly does sudo apt-get install -f do ? | 02:01 |
| gvsa123 | faileas: are you aware of any package from synaptic that simplifies working "mshome" | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | eseven73: it fixes the packages by removing or adding packages so dependancies are all met | 02:02 |

| ActionParsnip | eseven73: makes the system whole again | 02:02 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: ^^^ | 02:02 |

| Dexi | wj32: its a weird thing its got going on... install directions told me to edit the first line of the makefile to my plugins dir and then type make, without ./configure first | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadow_X: nope, i think it just gets spawned, try websearching vnc to headless pc | 02:15 |
| rww | Dexi: which program? | 02:15 |
| Dexi | rww "sessionsave" plugin for pidgin | 02:15 |
| Shadow_X | ActionParsnip: thanks bro | 02:16 |
| rww | !vnc | Shadow_X: you mean a VNC server? | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Shadow_X: you mean a VNC server?: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:16 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: right, if you type: dpkg --help you will see that -l and -S do 2 different things. so, it looks like your alsa libraries are in place - there's no need to worry about them, it's the firmware that's the problem | 02:16 |
| Shadow_X | !FreeNX | 02:16 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 02:16 |

| ebaby | eseven73: not sure what !gksu means as I am green | 02:16 |
| mib_2dc6mp | ok | 02:16 |
| rww | Dexi: Ah. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that plugins are weird. | 02:16 |
| eseven73 | ebaby: it's a better method of using graphical apps as root | 02:17 |
| wj32 | eseven73: he can't get his display working | 02:17 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea so I am guessing ubuntustudio either came with all the alsa, or when I downloaded it from synaptic it installed everything (though I never downloaded alsa-libs) | 02:17 |
| Dexi | rww, i think i can make it work if i just copy the file, whats the terminal command to copy something from home/whatever to /usr/local/lib/purple-2 | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadow_X: http://forums.teamphoenixrising.net/showthread.php?t=32325 | 02:17 |
| rww | Dexi: cp /home/whatever/filename /usr/local/lib/purple-2 | 02:17 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: so let's concentrate on that: find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" > mialist.txt && cat mialist | pastebinit | 02:17 |
| rww | Dexi: possibly with a sudo in front of it; and if it's a directory, do cp -R | 02:17 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea ok lemme do that | 02:18 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: there is no alsa-libs in ubuntu, it's called libasound2 | 02:18 |
| Dexi | rww ok, i think last time i did it wrong because it moved the whole dir but i didnt say -R idk ill go try | 02:18 |

| sudobash | so ntfsck works? | 02:21 |
| s3a | is it possible to remove images off of pidgin ONLY on the window things on the bottom task bar? | 02:21 |
| === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid | ||
| s3a | images=people's display pictures | 02:22 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: ? | 02:22 |
| Raylz | s3a: #pidgin | 02:22 |
| s3a | i want it to always show status on those window things | 02:22 |
| rww | sudobash: did you read the link I sent you? | 02:22 |
| s3a | Raylz, k thx | 02:22 |
| sudobash | it looks like it is being distributed | 02:22 |
| sudobash | http://downloads.sourceforge.net/linux-ntfs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0.tar.gz?modtime=1190969237&big_mirror=1 | 02:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shear, that is characteristic of an unclean mount or fsck detecting issues with the device | 02:23 |
| Dexi | thanks rww ill make a point to get to that sooner or later | 02:23 |
| eseven73 | ebaby: sorry i had to answer the door, you can get a terminal in recovery mode this way: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo#recoverymode | 02:23 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea now I get a keyboard interrpt find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp" > mialist.txt && cat mialist.txt | pastebinit | 02:23 |
| Raylz | haha, just compiling the new gnome :) | 02:23 |
| shear | Jack_Sparrow, I did run fsck, and posted the result in that thread | 02:23 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea am i supposed to take the -name out | 02:23 |
| shear | Jack_Sparrow, do you know how to fix it? | 02:23 |
| sudobash | ahhhh ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY | 02:24 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: well, you're looking for anything that -starts- with the mib_dsp, so it needs to be "mia_dsp*" | 02:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 02:24 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 02:24 |
| rww | sudobash: "ntfsprogs" is a collection of programs for managing the ntfs file system, and is available as an Ubuntu package anyway. ntfsck doesn't exist yet, but will eventually; in the meantime, install ntfsprogs and run the command on that page | 02:24 |
| rww | !info ntfsprogs | 02:24 |
| ubottu | ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 262 kB, installed size 672 kB | 02:24 |
| sudobash | so ntfsprogs is obsolete but ntfsck is not ready yet? | 02:24 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I added the * but I still get a keyboard interrupt | 02:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shear, for the best answers pastebin the output, dont make people search through a thread looking for it | 02:25 |
| sudobash | Package ntfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 02:25 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: hrm, try it like this then: find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" | 02:25 |
| rww | sudobash: what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 02:25 |
| sudobash | wait my install must not be up to date cause it worked in california | 02:26 |
| eseven73 | ebaby: oops i should have told you to skip down to like the 5th image, thats where it shows for terminal | 02:26 |
| shear | Jack_Sparrow, without reading the thread, someone else trying to help won't know what has already been suggested to me | 02:26 |
| sudobash | ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY how well does this work? | 02:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudobash, gparted live is a better bet | 02:27 |
| peepsalot | i'm trying to set up a raid 5 array as described here: http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188 but when I run the commands to edit /etc/mdadm/mdadm/conf it says permission denied. how can there be permission denied to edit a file if I am using sudo? | 02:27 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea that is what I have find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" > mialist.txt && cat mialist.txt | pastebinit | 02:27 |
| sudobash | i am trying to check fs from 3000 miles away | 02:27 |
| rww | Jack_Sparrow: that command is (surprisingly) for filesystem checking, not resizing. | 02:27 |

| Aji-Daha1a | any ideas? | 02:29 |
| ebaby | eseven73: I am trying to fix a prob where install is fine but after install and reboot I get no visual/gui/etc. I believe this page - "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54867" describes what is happening to me but since I am new I am not 100% certain. your thoughts... | 02:29 |
| sudobash | any ideas on fixing the ntfs errors? | 02:29 |
| peepsalot | why does it tell me permission denied when I run this command? sudo echo "DEVICE partitions" > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 02:29 |
| sudobash | from 3000 miles away? | 02:29 |

The relevant section of my menu.lst is at http://pastebin.com/d6fa86776 Can anyone tell me how to boot windows from an extended partition using grub? | 02:30 |
| sudobash | so windows checks it | 02:30 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea oh ok | 02:30 |
| gillroy | why is the current package for gnuoctave only version 3.0.0 (ubuntu 8.04 | 02:31 |
| sudobash | so maybe if i mark it and restart it and set windows as default os to boot then it will chkdsk when it boots but will it fix errors? | 02:31 |
| eseven73 | ebaby: im prolly the worse person in here to ask about display issues or networking sorry :) | 02:31 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" nothing happens | 02:31 |
| rww | sudobash: the only reason to put yourself through the torture of ntfs is if you have windows. if you have windows, reboot into windows and then ask in ##windows for help. | 02:31 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay, and I just tried it too like that - the "KeyboardInterrupt caught." means that pastebinit won't send an empty file | 02:32 |
| sudobash | well i am 3000 miles away ubuntu to ubuntu trying to fix a dual boot XP partition : ( | 02:32 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea so I need some drivers or something? | 02:32 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: all this means is that there is no firmware installed for your soundcard at all - now that we have that confirmed, let's get the firmware | 02:32 |

| Jordan_U | sudobash: device then mountpoint | 02:35 |
| eseven73 | hmm ebaby just curious, have you tried Hardy? and see if you still have this same issue? | 02:35 |
| sudobash | oops yeah | 02:35 |
| JonathanEllis | PosterBoy, sudobash: I think that should be sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /media/disk /dev/sda1 shouldnt it? | 02:35 |
| sudobash | lol yeah im intoxicated though | 02:35 |
| sudobash | so forgive me | 02:35 |

| rww | Blister: are you trying to expand it while running Ubuntu from it? 'cause that won't work. You need to resize from a copy of Ubuntu not on that partition (e.g. from an Ubuntu/gparted live CD) | 03:10 |
| Blister | ok thank you both | 03:11 |

| aiuw | I can't play YouTube videos and use mplayer at the same time. Any solutions? | 03:20 |
| RukusX | the_squircle, i dont even think i have any that are not | 03:20 |
| the_squircle | RukusX: is the USB device directly plugged into the port? | 03:20 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's give this a go: cd alsa-firmware-1.0.17/ && ./configure && make | 03:20 |
| wfoster | aiuw: Keep one off, while you do the other? :P | 03:20 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: let me know when it's finished and/or if there are any errors | 03:20 |
| aiuw | wfoster, I'd like to use both... :| | 03:21 |
| RukusX | the_squircle, yes | 03:21 |
| wfoster | aiuw: I'm no good with Ubuntu, so I can't help you. I wish I could. | 03:21 |
| wfoster | aiuw: Anyone else will be happy to help you though. | 03:22 |
| Gnea | aiuw: what soundcard do you have? | 03:22 |
| jimmy0i7 | help!! sound stopped working !! | 03:22 |
| the_squircle | RukusX: now... you're sure that both the device and the port is USB 2.0? If they both are... maybe it's the driver that Ubuntu is using for your motherboard and they're running at 1.1 speeds. That's all I can think of | 03:22 |
| jp_sf | RukusX: Try to add "pci=noacpi pci=routeirq" at the grub boot options | 03:22 |
| aiuw | Gnea, good question. What command do I need to issue to see it? | 03:22 |
| Gnea | aiuw: lspci | grep audio | 03:23 |
| wfoster | jimmy0i7: Give us some more details, what do you mean it has gone. You can't hear any at all? Can you still hear the login noise? | 03:23 |
| Gnea | !sound | jimmy0i7 | 03:23 |
| ubottu | jimmy0i7: 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 | 03:23 |

| === miguel is now known as Guest46481 | ||
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: what? | 03:23 |
| jimmy0i7 | wfoster, thats correct i can no longer even hear the log in sound and it started after deleteing windows partition | 03:23 |
| aiuw | Gnea, Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) | 03:23 |
| Gnea | aiuw: that on a laptop? | 03:24 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea it doesnt like alsa-firmware-1.0.17/ | 03:24 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, i added the pci=routeirq maybe i will try that noacpi. What is peculiar, my speeds are quick, at least 3.7mbps until it seem the disk cache gets filled. then slows right down 1.1mbps | 03:24 |
| aiuw | Gnea, yes. | 03:24 |
| Gnea | !laptop | aiuw | 03:24 |

| the_squircle | jimmy0i7: try running a fsck, make sure nothing got hurt on the Linux partition after removing the windows partition, maybe the sound driver's sector got damaged or something... | 03:24 |
| Gnea | aiuw: see if you can find it there - you may need to turn pulseaudio off | 03:24 |
| aiuw | Ok | 03:24 |
| wfoster | jimmy0i7: Do you have pulseaudio installed? If so go to 'Terminal' then type 'pavucontrol'. | 03:25 |
| jimmy0i7 | the_squircle, how do i run fsck ? | 03:25 |
| RukusX | the_squircle, thanks for the help, but how would i change the driver? is that not part of my kernel? i've booted my last 3 to see if any difference and none | 03:25 |
| wfoster | jimmy0i7: Terminal > type 'pavucontrol' > Output Devices > Tell me if it says anything. | 03:25 |
| Flannel | jimmy0i7: The easiest way is to `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot | 03:25 |
| jp_sf | RukusX: 3.7 I think it is slow a usb 2.0 should be more than 10MB/s | 03:25 |
| the_squircle | jimmy0i7: do what Flannel says | 03:25 |
| tim_ | quick question... been using Ubuntu for sometime, but have never had this issue.... got a new laptop, it seems to have loaded audio drivers, but I can't hear anything. A google yielded nothing. | 03:25 |

| Saviq | Gnea: yeah I'm actually looking for help for the ume-launcher thingy that's not specific to notebooks | 03:28 |
| Gnea | DJCanadianJeff: yes | 03:28 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea, it doesnt like it, Moved the folder to the desktop and it is alsa-firmware-1.0.17 | 03:28 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea got it | 03:28 |
| DJCanadianJeff | is there a bash command todo it? | 03:29 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay, can you get there via terminal? | 03:29 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea i did the first command, the make command and it worked | 03:29 |
| dr_willis | DJCanadianJeff, CAREFULL use of the 'dd' command :) | 03:29 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: awesome. now: sudo make install | 03:29 |
| dr_willis | DJCanadianJeff, therrs also specic 'disk zero' and 'disk wipe' commands/tools out there. | 03:29 |
| Logikos | in windows if i press and hold ALT while typeing out a 4 digit ascii code such as 0044 ... it will output the ascii chr 44 which is a , if i remember right ... is there a similar feature in ubuntu? | 03:29 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea done | 03:29 |
| DJCanadianJeff | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda ??? | 03:29 |
| Logikos | or i guess it would be a feature with gnome | 03:30 |
| dr_willis | DJCanadianJeff, writing all 0's is NOT the same as a 'low level format' its just zeroing out the drive | 03:30 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: now, try this: sudo modprobe snd_mia | 03:30 |
| Gnea | DJCanadianJeff: yes, that will do it. | 03:30 |
| dr_willis | DJCanadianJeff, thats the basics of it.. you may want to use a BS size option.. be care full with that command and /dev/hda may NOT be right.. ubuntu normally uses sd## | 03:30 |
| yuwiz | m | 03:30 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I did it, but nothing seemed to happen | 03:31 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: that means it loaded. let's see the output of dmesg again: dmesg | pastebinit | 03:31 |
| Rugxulo | DJCanadianJeff, what are you trying to hide?? :-P | 03:31 |
| DJCanadianJeff | which is the best thing todo before installing a new copy of ubuntu... LLF? or writing all 0's? | 03:31 |
| Gnea | Rugxulo: it's not your place to ask. | 03:31 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, anymore ideas? | 03:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJCanadianJeff, example Create ISO of CD Rom... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$USER/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k | 03:31 |
| Rugxulo | Gnea, but I just did ;-) | 03:31 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea /f3f0cfa89 | 03:31 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, what does the pci-noacpi do for me | 03:32 |
| Gnea | Rugxulo: why do you want to know? ;) | 03:32 |
| Rugxulo | 'cause it sounds like a lot of trouble for nothing | 03:32 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, what does the pci=noacpi do for me? | 03:32 |
| DJCanadianJeff | what do you mean trying to hide? | 03:32 |
| RukusX | rather | 03:32 |
| Rugxulo | chances are nobody cares to spy on you anyways | 03:32 |

| zc00gii | any package(s) to fix that? | 03:44 |
| xd4 | exodus_ms, as far i remember, evo 2.22 had a setup helper at the first start up whcih helps you set up, gmail specifically right? | 03:44 |
| the_squircle | zc00gii: try going to synaptic and searching for python opengl or something... | 03:44 |
| xd4 | exodus_ms, yes i am on gnome | 03:44 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea ok | 03:44 |
| zc00gii | the_squircle, I tried... | 03:44 |

| exodus_ms | xd4: what is the problem you are facing now, does it pertain to setting up gmail? | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | zc00gii, that 3d chess thing. has never worked for me.. in the last 5+ releases.. :) try what jp_sf says.. | 03:45 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, well 18 more minutes until this transfer done... then i will reboot with my new values, i also added ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd to etc/modules in that order to see if that will help, by loading those modules at start up | 03:45 |
| tyta | I can select my network by clicking on the network mgr at the top, and it just circles around and around | 03:45 |
| blampars | how can i stop nautilus from putting all my default folders in the places menu into a bookmark submenu when i bookmark my ftp with it? | 03:45 |

| tyta | then asks me for the key, which i enter, and it circles around more and more | 03:45 |
| xd4 | exodus_ms, everytime i set up gnome, i get a different problem, in pop it does not fetch email, in Imap it does not store them locally althought i choose the option that lets evo do so | 03:46 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, maybe i should leave uhci_hcd out, i know that loads | 03:46 |
| jp_sf | zc00gii: Then you will regret to have the 3D, but oh ok it is my own opinion :-) | 03:46 |

| tyta | i followed most of the commands in the thread | 03:47 |

| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's go dmesg | pastebinit once more | 03:49 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Alex_21, run the installer on any box up to the partitioner and you will see what we are talking about. It will offer to automatically shrink windows and install ubuntu in dual boot | 03:55 |
| xd4 | exodus_ms, no, i just want a fresh evo that can fetch my messages from gmail | 03:56 |
| the_squircle | Alex_21: here is the Ubuntu documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall | 03:56 |
| zionpsyfer | codeshah: scratch that, it's dpkg -L | 03:56 |
| n8tuser | n8tuser one thing I can also suggest, do the steps of resizing windows partition and then shutdown and reboot to windows again to make sure you can still boot to windows | 03:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !iso | 03:57 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:57 |

| Alex_21 | Thanks a million | 03:58 |
| kazagistar | I already mounted the ISO | 03:58 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, i'm pretty sure its for usb 2.0 good point.... should try another cable | 03:58 |
| the_squircle | liquid: it'd be better to fix the ubuntu driver... what's wrong with it? | 03:58 |
| n8tuser | kazagistar-> once the iso is loop mounted, then you can copy the contents of it like any other files or directory | 03:58 |
| Alex_21 | Good day. Shaw bash | 03:58 |
| tonyyarusso | kazagistar: the cp command with the -r (recursive) option. | 03:58 |

| Leite | everytime i boot my pc, when it goes to grub loadiþng page, i need to manually edit the path ie. sda (0.0) or sumthin like that. Otherwise it doesnt load up the ubuntu 8.10. How can i set (030) to be my default choice? | 04:32 |
| eseven73 | I hear such negative things about pulseaudio, why did Ubuntu add it? and why dont they just remove it ? | 04:32 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: yeah, go ahead and reboot again | 04:33 |

| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: alright, i'm going to ask you for some screenshots - http://imageshack.us is free | 04:37 |

| tyta | I think it may be driver related | 04:41 |
| Gnea | tyta: okay, were you able to give WPA2 a go? | 04:42 |
| tyta | yes i set my wireless router to wpa2 | 04:42 |
| Gnea | tyta: and is the system able to hook up to it via ethernet? | 04:42 |
| jp_sf | Hbah427: Nvidia, propriatery drivers no ? ve you tried System>Administration>Hardware drivers ? | 04:42 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea ok I did it and image shack gave me a url | 04:42 |
| tyta | yes, i suppose i could go upstairs | 04:42 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea they all seem to be thumbnails | 04:42 |

| ^Manu | i dont understand what kubuntu thinks it's doing with xorg.conf anymore :( | 04:44 |
| ^Manu | i asked the question above.. | 04:44 |
| ^Manu | about a page up | 04:44 |
| ljsoftnet | anybody knows where to buy ASUS eee pc online? im from the philippines | 04:45 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea that sucks | 04:45 |
| nbeebo | ^Manu, i think it does the same as ubuntu.. | 04:45 |
| ^Manu | which is> | 04:45 |
| ^Manu | xorg.conf is virtually empty.. | 04:45 |
| nbeebo | aka totally empty? | 04:45 |
| ^Manu | i installed xserver-xorg-video-intel and it didn't seem to do anything. | 04:45 |
| Hbah427 | ljsoftnet: have you tried eeepc.asus.com? | 04:46 |
| linuxlerner | is it yet possible to boot to ram AND use casper persistence? | 04:46 |
| evowill | <^Manu> are you sure you have the correct location? | 04:46 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, Ubuntu lets X do as much autoconfiguring as possible | 04:46 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea try img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmo3.png | 04:46 |
| Gain | hi | 04:46 |
| Gain | would you guys recommend KDE or GNOME | 04:46 |
| imperfect- | Anyone know if rsync can preserve NTFS permissions?? | 04:46 |
| nbeebo | Gain, gnome.. | 04:46 |
| Gain | and what are the major pluses of both | 04:46 |
| Odd-rationale | Gain: that's a heated question... :P | 04:46 |
| evowill | Gain: I like gnome | 04:47 |
| jp_sf | Hbah427: could be a lot lot of things could be AGP conflict etc etc cpu speed, | 04:47 |
| Gain | ya, I used gnome previously when i had ubuntu installed | 04:47 |
| eseven73 | imperfect-: i think so try the GUI for rsync 'sudo apt-get install grsync' | 04:47 |
| ^Manu | what location? | 04:47 |
| Gain | but KDE 4.1 looks damn nice | 04:47 |
| Odd-rationale | Gain: my advice is to try both... use the livecd of ubuntu and kubuntu... and see shich one you like better... | 04:47 |
| Gain | want to give it a shot | 04:47 |
| ^Manu | evowill: location of what? | 04:47 |
| bcgrown | I have an Nvidia video card but for some reason Synaptic now wants to install Geode display drivers. How do I tell it to stop asking me? | 04:47 |
| evowill | Gain: a google search might bee of great use :-) | 04:47 |
| Gain | Odd-rationale: are there any GNOME apps only? | 04:47 |
| ^Manu | jordan: so why isn't X autoconfiguring my video properly then? | 04:47 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Thus stu=inks, none of the links imgshack provides work | 04:47 |
| Gain | or will they work across both | 04:47 |
| jp_sf | Hbah427: do you have compiz running ? | 04:47 |
| eseven73 | imperfect-: it has all kinds of options you can choose | 04:48 |
| bcgrown | er by Synaptic I mean "Update Manager" | 04:48 |
| rshakin | hey anyone installed this on a supermicro h8dce | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, X should use the intel driver if it's available, you can also force it to use it by adding an explicit line to your xorg.conf but you shouldn't need to | 04:48 |
| Hbah427 | jp_sf: I do not. | 04:48 |
| evowill | <^Manu> I will send you a PM | 04:48 |
| Hbah427 | It won't work no matter what. | 04:48 |
| ^Manu | why wouldn't it use it? | 04:48 |
| ^Manu | okay, thx | 04:48 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: holy... that's a lot of options | 04:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Gain: both gnome/gtk apps and kde/qt apps will work on either gnome or kde... or xfce for that matter... | 04:48 |

| Gnea | !ask | sandeep | 04:50 |

| ubottu | sandeep: 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. :-) | 04:50 |
| Hbah427 | I should probably check syslog... | 04:50 |
| nbeebo | how do i do so the sound i hear on my desktop goes into the microphone without having one? ------ if u understand what im saying but dont know the answer can u help me rephrase? i suck at it lol | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | Gnea, Try "alsamixer -c 0" | 04:50 |
| Hbah427 | However, I'm kinda new... | 04:50 |

| Jordan_U | Gnea, Even with the "-c 0" ? | 04:51 |

| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea there is a ton more to the right though | 04:51 |
| Gain | ok last question, are there threads to show people's desktops. I am looking for some ideas on customizing my own | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | DigitalFiz, It's how you get to the actual settings for the card rather than the pulseaudio volume controll | 04:51 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea just more mixers and meters | 04:51 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: i see that, and that's what's strange. I've never seen 'monitor' so many times like that. | 04:52 |
| tyta_linux | Gnea: I have connected to my wired network | 04:52 |

| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: did you get any results from: lsmod | grep snd_pcm_oss? | 04:59 |

| Gain | hi, what office application do you guys use? IS there one that has a decent looking interface | 05:04 |
| Gain | (preferabily NOT openoffice) | 05:04 |
| SABDFL | what's your story, morning glory? | 05:04 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea couple lines were produced | 05:04 |
| Gnea | hckyplayer024: is your router set to broadcast the SSID? are channels overlapping? | 05:04 |
| faileas | Gain: well there's koffice, and scattered gnome office apps (abiword/gnumeric) | 05:04 |
| Gnea | SABDFL: do you have any Ubuntu-related questions? | 05:04 |
| SABDFL | Gnea: yeah | 05:05 |
| Gain | faileas, koffice is for KDE? | 05:05 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: okay, see if it says 'audio' anywhere | 05:05 |
| SABDFL | Gnea: may i ask them? | 05:05 |
| hckyplayer024 | gnea: yeah my network isnt hidden. and I have no problem connecting on my macbook pro, just the ubuntu desktop | 05:05 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea it does | 05:05 |
| Flannel | SABDFL: please do | 05:05 |
| faileas | Gain: ya but you can use it in gnime too | 05:05 |
| faileas | gnome | 05:05 |
| Gain | hmm | 05:05 |
| Gain | is it better than open office though | 05:05 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea 29(audio), 30 (dip) | 05:05 |
| faileas | better is relative | 05:05 |
| Gnea | hckyplayer024: weird... what wireless card are you using? | 05:06 |

| CyBurnett | trying to run "Haiku" on vmware player in Ubuntu 8.04 but get "insufficient permissions | 05:06 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: and when you type: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp it errors out? | 05:06 |
| Gain | thing that pisses me off about openoffice is how terrible the interface is | 05:06 |
| jp_sf | Gain: There are a lot of alternatives have you tried Lotus symphony ? | 05:06 |
| Gain | no... | 05:06 |
| SABDFL | alright, well on ubuntu last night i was pitching a woo with a pachuco (a mighty fine pip), but it turned out the frail was a moll, so the damn rascal left tracks and made the kiss off... taking my ubuntu box with her. | 05:06 |

| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea dev/dsp: No such file or directory | 05:07 |
| tristanmike | can someone please help me with my surround sound ? | 05:07 |

| caimlas | does anyone here know anything about the i/o scheduler used by default in ubuntu, and why doing anything under high disk I/O might be painfully slow on a laptop? | 05:07 |
| Gnea | SABDFL: what do we look like, a detective agency? | 05:07 |
| ebaby | its using the file: "xorg.conf.new" can anyone help me to set it up correctly? | 05:08 |
| Flannel | Gnea: That's not necessary | 05:08 |
| Gnea | Flannel: he could just be really miffed about someone stealing his stuff | 05:08 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea do you think we have any chance of geting this working? | 05:09 |
| Gain | jp_sf, which do you use? Star office? | 05:09 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: sar is your friend it will gives you plenty of information if you don't like it try ksar a graphical frontend | 05:09 |
| ebaby | I know Ubuntu will work on this machine as it was running Edubuntu prior I just dont know how to get the settings to stick - help | 05:09 |
| jp_sf | Gain: no OO | 05:09 |
| douglas | hello. i've been having some problems with my mouse having a mind of its own. i installed 8.10 fresh on a toshiba satellite 3005 s307. it is most noticeable in firefox but it also happens in kyle. mouse works fine in winxp. any ideas? | 05:10 |
| faileas | Gain: / jp_sf: staroffice IS openoffice | 05:10 |
| jp_sf | Gain: but I'm an agnostic I use sometimes Abiword Lotus symphony too | 05:10 |
| raylu | jp_sf: seriously? | 05:10 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: not familiar with sar can you hip me to it as I am a fresh around here | 05:10 |
| jp_sf | <raylu> jp_sf: seriously? ? | 05:11 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: at this point, I'm not sure... I suppose you could try turning all of the selectors in alsamixer up and see if you can hear anything... do you have hydrogen installed? | 05:11 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: i assume you mean type sar into terminal to get the info I need? | 05:11 |
| raylu | jp_sf: you use abiword lotus? | 05:11 |
| caimlas | On intrepid my laptop gets very unresponsive (think: like when copying to a floppy disk in Windows) when I've got any sort of disk i/o load. does anyone here know anything about the i/o scheduler used by default or some way to give the UI and desktop applications i/o preference (as was more of a default back in older kernel versions, it seems)? | 05:12 |
| jp_sf | raylu: I do yes and I think it is a good alternative Lotus symphony that IBM gives for free yes | 05:12 |
| ov3rfl0w | I have a problem with the compiz fusion. Or better, the erase window effect it works, but not properly. | 05:13 |
| jp_sf | faileas: Staroffice =! Openoffice | 05:13 |
| br3nden | Whats wrong with this scp command? scp user@domain.com:/home/user/file.tar.gz /home/user/file.tar.gz | 05:13 |
| faileas | jbernard: openoffice is a fork from staroffice | 05:13 |
| faileas | er jp_sf even | 05:13 |
| ov3rfl0w | I had write some html code, but some how it's gone. | 05:13 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I have audio | 05:13 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I started JACK | 05:14 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I just took a guess | 05:14 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I wonder if I ought to reinstall pulseaudio? | 05:14 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: at this point, pulseaudio isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference. | 05:14 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea ok | 05:14 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: see if you can get hydrogen to work with or without jack | 05:15 |
| amuro | pulseaudio sucks | 05:15 |
| Gnea | amuro: amen. | 05:15 |
| evilGUI | hello if I install Ubuntu to a external usb hd will it put the MBR on my main drive? | 05:15 |
| amuro | it doesnt allow more than one app have sound | 05:15 |
| luddite | i have a laptop that wifi isnt working on - ethernet isnt either - so i downloaded 4 .deb files that are dependancies to install - but where should i put them to be installed as dependancies from teh disk and not the internets? | 05:16 |
| PriceChild | amuro: that sounds more like an oss app having stolen the soundcard to me than pulseaudio shenanigans | 05:16 |
| PriceChild | amuro: and pulseaudio does wonders for me. I personally think its great. | 05:16 |
| nbeebo | how do i do so the sound i hear on my desktop goes into the microphone without having one? ------ if u understand what im saying but dont know the answer can u help me rephrase? i suck at it lol | 05:16 |
| CyBurnett | faileas | 05:17 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: command tells me i need to get 1 of 2 packages - sysstat or atsar which is the preferred choice? | 05:17 |
| CyBurnett | faileas, Thanks but didnt work as it says no such file or directory | 05:17 |
| amuro | PriceChild, on my desktop, i killall pulseaudio then all my sounds work happily together | 05:17 |
| Gnea | amuro: by default, it does not. sadly, ubuntu does not do a decent job of setting pulseaudio up the way that some other distros do. it is a problem that we're trying to address. | 05:17 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: systat | 05:17 |
| amuro | i just use alsa for all sound | 05:17 |
| tbrock | guys, what is the best package for flash support in firefox | 05:18 |
| tbrock | the adobe one? | 05:18 |
| LawnGnome1 | Hello | 05:18 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: you drive is not dying no ? | 05:18 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I had a jack audio error: could not connect to JACK server as client | 05:18 |
| tyta_linux | I guess I'll have to post on the forums | 05:18 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: all recent harddirves support smartd | 05:18 |
| tyta_linux | Thanks anyway for you're time everyone | 05:18 |
| faileas | CyBurnett: you need to change the 'path/to/' to the directory the files for the vm are | 05:18 |
| badcat | greetings all, and happy new yew year. does anyone know a way i can access my computers BIOS from within linux instead of rebooting? | 05:18 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: a must read http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/know-when-your-drives-are-failing-smartd | 05:18 |
| Gnea | PriceChild: I can't get pulseaudio to work decently at all. I have tried, and it just doesn't work right, no matter what tutorial I try to follow off of the ubuntu forums. | 05:19 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea i am sure it is my error as I learn how to use jack | 05:19 |
| CyBurnett | faileas, Yes I did that but didnt work | 05:19 |
| tbrock | !flash | 05:19 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 05:19 |
| tristanmike | can someone please help me get my surround sound working in 8.10. I just upgraded from 8.04 and now my surround sound no longer works. Please and thanks. | 05:19 |
| exodus_ms | tyta_linux: good luck, thank you for using #ubuntu, come back again | 05:19 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I just think it is weird that I have t fire up Jack to get audio at all | 05:19 |
| amuro | Gnea, completely remove pulseaudio and set everything using alsa | 05:19 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: jack is one of those tricky apps that you need to get the jackd up and running first | 05:19 |
| amuro | tbrock, flashplugin-nonfree | 05:20 |
| jp_sf | badcat dmidecode | 05:20 |
| tbrock | why is that one the best amuro | 05:20 |
| ov3rfl0w | How can I exec my text editor that I just have lost? For some way and how I put the cursor at the window and move a little bit. Then it's gone. | 05:20 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea hmm not sure if I opened Jackd or even saw it in applications | 05:20 |
| eseven73 | amuro: that's what i did, i too had one pulseaudio issue after the other, so i just completly uninstalled it, sound issues went bye bye :) | 05:20 |
| amuro | eseven73, yes pulseaudio sucks | 05:21 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Anyone can help with Apache2? I can see it working through http://localhost but I can't access pages via my ip address. | 05:21 |
| amuro | i dont know why when alsa works perfect, then they mess with pulseaudio? | 05:21 |
| exodus_ms | #apache | 05:21 |
| eseven73 | well i dont thin it sucks i think its what Gnea was saying a bit ago about its more an issue of how ubuntu sets it up than anything else | 05:21 |
| MenZa | Zombie_Gaz: Your local IP address, or your broadcast IP address? | 05:21 |
| jp_sf | badcat: sudo dmidecode | 05:22 |
| LawnGnome1 | I still cannot read these itty bittyy letters | 05:22 |
| amuro | any op here? | 05:22 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: failed to fetch http://... - any other cmd to get the packages | 05:22 |
| DigitalFiz | im having a weird issue, when I reboot ubuntu it comes up and all the apperence stuff is set to none and i have to set it back to advanced and go into compiz settings manager and set all my settings again like the cube and the rotation stuff anyone know why? it happened after some recent updates | 05:22 |
| nck | anyone experiencing idle cpu temp is higher under intrepid than previous version or OS? | 05:22 |
| MenZa | amuro: What do you need an op for? | 05:22 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: harddrive failing is that your take on the problem...? | 05:22 |
| badcat | jp_sf, thanks will give it a try | 05:22 |
| amuro | i wanna file a complain | 05:22 |
| amuro | admin abuse | 05:22 |
| eseven73 | I'd kill to be an op here or any large channel for that matter :) | 05:22 |
| MenZa | amuro: Please try #ubuntu-ops, amuro | 05:22 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: no but who knows a harddrive that dy is something frequeent | 05:22 |
| sheena1 | updated recently to Intrepid. was using Hardy before. youtube videos now play the first 2 seconds, then quit/freeze. I can jump the video ahead (clicking on the play bar) and it will play about 2 seconds from that point and do the same. | 05:23 |
| mib_2dc6mp | for some reason I am only getting one chanel to work my left speaker is not doing anything | 05:23 |
| MenZa | mib_2dc6mp: It might seem a little obvious, but is the volume on the left channel muted or turned down? | 05:25 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: as weird as it sounds that would almost be easier to deal with than having a picture perfect install only to reboot to the Twilight zone on your screen - so I assume failed to fetch means that the machine cant access the net or the files are no longer at that location? | 05:25 |
| eseven73 | is there a way to get irssi to show the channel without having to re enter the channel? | 05:25 |
| jp_sf | <ebaby> jp_sf: failed to fetch ? sysstat | 05:25 |
| ov3rfl0w | How can I exec one file that is in /home/paste/file.txt, for example? | 05:25 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: is that with jack? | 05:25 |
| Flannel | eseven73: you mean /names? or /topic? | 05:25 |
| faileas | bleh | 05:25 |
| MenZa | eseven73: As in, automatically join the channel upon starting it? | 05:25 |
| faileas | LVM is a bit annoying to set up | 05:25 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: yeah that's the message i got | 05:25 |
| ov3rfl0w | At the terminal, of course. | 05:25 |
| tristanmike | Anyone good with sound ? | 05:25 |
| BlackDalek | Does anyone here know how to add Soulseek buddies on Nicotine? Isn't Nicotine supposed to use the SoulSeek network? | 05:26 |
| eseven73 | no i mean show like 1300 | 05:26 |
| MenZa | !anyone > tristanmike | 05:26 |
| ov3rfl0w | no, no | 05:26 |
| ubottu | tristanmike, please see my private message | 05:26 |

| sheena1 | anyone update to Intrepid and find some bugs with youtube? | 05:26 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: sorry to ask again what happens if you type : sudo apt-get install sysstat | 05:26 |
| ebaby | i'll try again "apt-get syssat" right? | 05:26 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I closed Jack and just have Hydrogen going | 05:26 |
| eseven73 | MenZa: i know theres a couple irssi scripts that show user count, but i was hoping it was built in maybe | 05:26 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Need help with Apache2... I can access my index.html from http://localhost but not from my ip addresss. Help? | 05:26 |
| MenZa | eseven73: I'm still not entirely sure what you're trying to. | 05:26 |
| amuro | sheena1, the youtube bug probably the flash | 05:26 |
| Flannel | eseven73: At the bottom of /names it gives the total. Also, there's a plugin you can get thta'll give you a total all the time in your menu | 05:27 |
| ov3rfl0w | It's not that. I have one file open, but It's gone of my screen. | 05:27 |
| MenZa | Zombie_Gaz: As I said before - is this your LAN IP, or is it your broadcast public IP? | 05:27 |
| tristanmike | I just would like to get my surround sound working on a fresh install of 8.10 on a SoundBlaster 5.1. I don't understand PulseAudio | 05:27 |
| sheena1 | amuro: youtube videos now play the first 2 seconds, then quit/freeze. I can jump the video ahead (clicking on the play bar) and it will play about 2 seconds from that point and do the same. | 05:27 |
| mike | hey does any one know where to get music for music player | 05:27 |
| eseven73 | Flannel: thanks thats what i was trying to get at | 05:27 |
| Zombie_Gaz | public ip... i'm trying for. | 05:27 |
| ov3rfl0w | And I didn't no how come back. | 05:27 |
| amuro | sheena1, check your flash version | 05:27 |
| MenZa | mike: http://creativecommons.org holds a lot of freely-licensed music. | 05:27 |
| amuro | sheena1, the newest is version 10 | 05:27 |
| mike | thanks | 05:27 |
| MenZa | mike: Another source is your local music shop. :) | 05:27 |
| Zombie_Gaz | but both i suppose. all i can get to work is localhost / 127.0.0.1 | 05:27 |
| Flannel | eseven73: Look into the "usercount" plugin | 05:28 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I wonder if it is something in that clunky alsamixer | 05:28 |
| MenZa | mike: You could also check the Magnatune store integration in Amarok and Rhythmbox, or the Jamendo store. | 05:28 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: check your preferences in the audio tab, make sure the output driver is set accordingly | 05:28 |
| sheena1 | amuro, i'm checking now. | 05:28 |
| jp_sf | Zombie_Gaz: you need to specify the IP for the server to accept connection | 05:28 |
| eseven73 | Flannel: ok ty | 05:28 |
| mike | are they free | 05:28 |
| Zombie_Gaz | jp_sf: go on... | 05:28 |
| the_dark_warrio | What is the variable which keeps locations for libraries? It seems the variable got changed, since no lib is found on /usr/local/lib anymore... | 05:28 |
| MenZa | mike: No, they require you to purchase the music. | 05:28 |
| mike | ok good | 05:28 |
| mike | thanks | 05:28 |
| jp_sf | Zombie_Gaz it is called port ip binding | 05:28 |
| illmortal | Anyone know how to obtain gparted? Synaptic Package Manager doesn't have it on list. | 05:28 |
| tom1122 | I'm running eeeXubuntu. After a screwy update a week ago, I no longer have any wireless capable devices apparently. iwconfig and modprobe can't find anything, and i install linux-backports-modules to no avail. What went wrong?I'm running eeeXubuntu. After a screwy update a week ago, I no longer have any wireless capable devices apparently. iwconfig and modprobe can't find anything, and i install linux-backports-modules to no | 05:28 |
| tom1122 | avail. What went wrong? | 05:28 |
| jinja-sheep | Where do theme packages usually store the themes in? | 05:28 |
| tom1122 | ^ Shite, sorry. | 05:28 |
| MenZa | illmortal: sudo apt-get install gparted. It should be in Synaptic, though. | 05:29 |
| jp_sf | Zombie_Gaz: vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 05:29 |
| Mayank | why my firefox closes itself...?, any random time.. | 05:29 |
| sheena1 | amuro: add remove tells me it's downloading from version 9 link. should i go to the adobe homepage? | 05:29 |
| nickrud | the_dark_warrio, try running ldconfig , that rebuilds lib relationships. See /etc/ld.so.conf* | 05:29 |
| illmortal | MenZa, I think I have to add new repos or something in Synaptic <,< | 05:29 |
| amuro | sheena1, yes goto adobe page | 05:29 |
| mati | Hi guys..do you know how to set up ubuntu as IDS ? | 05:29 |
| MenZa | illmortal: Doh. It's installed by default. | 05:29 |
| jp_sf | Zombie_Gaz: and then Listen x.x.x.x:80 as an example x are your IP right ? | 05:29 |
| amuro | sheena1, the one in ubuntu repos is old | 05:29 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: final message is "could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' | 05:29 |
| illmortal | ah | 05:29 |
| the_dark_warrio | nickrud: thanks, I will take a look | 05:30 |
| MenZa | illmortal: System → Administration → Partition Editor - my bad. | 05:30 |
| amuro | sheena1, get the .deb file from adobe homepage | 05:30 |
| Zombie_Gaz | jp_sf: ok... so this is my REAL ip not my local ip (ie: 192.168.x) | 05:30 |
| sheena1 | amuro: it's going now. that should fix the problem? | 05:30 |
| jp_sf | Zombie_Gaz: depends... too late | 05:30 |
| illmortal | np got it :P | 05:30 |
| the_dark_warrio | nickrud: Thanks ;) that did the trick | 05:30 |
| MenZa | illmortal: I'm not... completely sure it's installed by standard. In any case, if it isn't, it can be installed with `sudo apt-get install gparted` and run from the menu I described before. | 05:30 |
| amuro | sheena1, maybe | 05:31 |
| sheena1 | amuro: do i need to uninstall the old one or anything? does it do all that on its own? | 05:31 |
| amuro | sheena1, i cant garantee | 05:31 |
| LawnGnome1 | Ok, back,,sorta...any fixes for SeaMonkey in the works? | 05:31 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: it seems it was unable to get all that it needed as 40.8kb of archives were needed and it gave that error mssg | 05:31 |
| amuro | sheena1, yes u have to completely remove the old one first | 05:31 |
| amuro | sheena1, there is a tutorial how on the internet | 05:31 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: what sort of extensions are you running? that would be my first guess, you could try to backup your .mozilla folder and delete it, and rerun firefox to see if that helps, but please back it up before you do this! | 05:31 |
| sheena1 | amuro: can you link me there? i'll google it.. | 05:31 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: is the machine you are using irc ? | 05:31 |
| illmortal | MenZa, ya I did the apt-get install gparted and "partition editor" popped into the admin menu, so good to go :P | 05:31 |
| amuro | sheena1, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html | 05:32 |
| MenZa | illmortal: Excellent. Be careful, though; it's a WMD. | 05:32 |
| Mayank | i have done that before, eseven73, what u think, should i download mozilla (windows version), and run use that in future? | 05:32 |
| Morgwyr | Hey everyone. I'm trying to get a network bridge on my laptop, bridging the wireless and the wired. Any suggestions on where I should go/ | 05:32 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I can also change the mixer from Mia (alsa) to a variety of things | 05:32 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: no I am using another machine for this irc - the other could access net during install though | 05:32 |
| nbeebo | how do i do so the sound i hear on my desktop goes into the microphone without having one? ------ if u understand what im saying but dont know the answer can u help me rephrase? | 05:33 |
| jp_sf | ebaby: seems it lost connection | 05:33 |
| tom1122 | I'm running eeeXubuntu. After a screwy update a week ago, I no longer have any wireless capable devices apparently. iwconfig and modprobe can't find anything, and i install linux-backports-modules to no avail. What went wrong? | 05:33 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: hmmm no running things in wine is not the answer... you're on 8.10 i take it? | 05:33 |
| MenZa | nbeebo: What you'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. | 05:34 |
| Mayank | yes, eseven73 | 05:34 |
| nbeebo | MenZa, yes thats correct thank you... | 05:34 |
| illmortal | lol MenZa | 05:34 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: my hunch is to figure out a way to make the settings that the machine used during install to stick after the restart. any tips on getting that to work | 05:34 |
| luddite | luddite | 05:34 |
| luddite | whoops | 05:34 |
| mikegriffin | hello, i did a dist-upgrade and some fonts that appear in dpkg are not available to things like firefox, do i need to do something with defoma? | 05:34 |
| illmortal | Oh MenZa, quick question.. what's Linux-Swap for?... Because I'm about to delete the partition as for some reason it's given 5gb | 05:35 |
| MenZa | illmortal: 5GB seems a bit excessive. It's like ... virtual RAM. | 05:35 |
| mikegriffin | illmortal: you have about 2G of RAM? | 05:35 |
| MenZa | illmortal: How much RAM do you have? | 05:35 |
| mikegriffin | typically you want 2x physical ram | 05:35 |
| illmortal | Yeah I have 16GB of RAM actually <,<; | 05:35 |
| MenZa | O_O | 05:35 |
| faileas | lol | 05:35 |
| Mayank | eseven73, what software i use in ubuntu for mobile connection, wammu is fine? | 05:35 |
| newbie-ubuntu | my ubuntu laptop seems to be slow . can someone please help me out | 05:35 |
| throwt | dont delete it | 05:35 |
| amuro | 16GB of ram? | 05:35 |
| mikegriffin | illmortal: i would leave it at at least 5G | 05:35 |
| illmortal | LOL | 05:35 |
| throwt | keep the 5gb of sap | 05:35 |
| MenZa | I agree with throwt. | 05:36 |
| illmortal | ok | 05:36 |
| mib_2dc6mp | The Weirdest thing just happened Gnea | 05:36 |
| illmortal | i wasn't sure | 05:36 |
| amuro | illmortal, u dont need swap at all | 05:36 |
| MenZa | Personally, I don't do the whole swap thing, but it's good practice. | 05:36 |
| mikegriffin | amuro: lies | 05:36 |
| amuro | sudo swapoff | 05:36 |
| illmortal | <_< | 05:36 |
| fgc | lol | 05:36 |
| Fezzler | for some reason my Network set up disappeared today. All I can think of is A) someone is hacking my system, B) installing bsc did something | 05:36 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I unplugged the speaker that wasnt working and the other speaker doubled in volume | 05:36 |
| mati | do you know how to set up ubuntu as IDS ? | 05:36 |
| Doonz | Hey im lookking at a way to speed up internet browsing. Crurrently i have my xp bo running to my ubuntu box wich is the firewall and the dns server. What can i do on the Ubuntu bax to speed things up? | 05:36 |
| Fezzler | I mean the wireless AND wired set up - GONE | 05:36 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: o.O | 05:36 |
| amuro | mikegriffin, if u have 16GB of ram u dont need swap | 05:36 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: well, at least it's trying to work lol | 05:36 |
| mikegriffin | Doonz: pay your isp more money? | 05:36 |
| mikegriffin | amuro: wrong | 05:36 |
| illmortal | ok amuro <,< | 05:36 |
| illmortal | wait | 05:37 |
| MenZa | Doonz: Just a piece of advice; in case this yields no answers, try #ubuntu-server - it's more a server-related question. | 05:37 |
| Mayank | guys, what i use for mobile (sony), wammu, gammu or both????????? | 05:37 |
| MenZa | mikegriffin: Please none of that sarcasm here. | 05:37 |
| Fezzler | off the panels | 05:37 |
| Doonz | its a 25/1 line | 05:37 |
| tristanmike | Can someone help me get my rear speakers working under 8.10 and a SoundBlaster 5.1. It was working fine on 8.04 before I upgraded this evening. Thanks in advance. | 05:37 |
| amuro | mikegriffin, i have 3GB ram, when i turn off swap, everything runs fast | 05:37 |
| arquebus | can anyone point me to info on installing php/mysql/apache on ubuntu? | 05:37 |
| Doonz | ok thanx Menza | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: not sure sorry, im still trying to find a fix for your firefox :) | 05:37 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: I'm gonna see if I can't get this pulseaudio thing to work right | 05:37 |
| illmortal | alright so with 16gb of ram, i don't need swap or do I still need? I have 5TB of HD space as well but just wasn't sure about swap... | 05:37 |
| mikegriffin | MenZa: when was i sarcastic? | 05:37 |
| flubuntu | hi all... i have a ps3 in need opf a and dlna or media server; alot out there but which media server to you suggest for PS3 i have ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04.. thanks in advance! | 05:37 |
| MenZa | !apachemysqlphp | arquebus | 05:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apachemysqlphp | 05:37 |
| MenZa | arquebus: Give me a sec to find the link | 05:37 |
| Mayank | thanx...eseven73..:) | 05:37 |
| nickrud | !lamp | 05:37 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 05:37 |
| tristanmike | flubuntu: I use MediaTomb | 05:37 |
| illmortal | LAMP FTW! | 05:38 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: I've been fighting with it for months now, it's getting redundant | 05:38 |
| eqnix | ill: you'll never need swap unless you plan on using 8+gb of ram at any given time | 05:38 |
| arquebus | nickrud thx | 05:38 |
| MenZa | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP <- arquebus | 05:38 |
| illmortal | ok cool | 05:38 |
| flubuntu | is elisa compatable | 05:38 |
| amuro | illmortal, set up a swap partition but turn it on when u really need it, but i doubt u need swap | 05:38 |
| flubuntu | with ps3 | 05:38 |
| ebaby | jp_sf: I read that using the cmd "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" might get the settings to stick but I get an error mssg when I enter that not sure why though | 05:38 |
| illmortal | alright sweet :D | 05:38 |
| mikegriffin | amuro: that is bad advice illmortal: you should leave swap on | 05:38 |
| illmortal | o.o; | 05:38 |
| nickrud | ebaby, you should use gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:38 |
| tristanmike | flubuntu: if you're asking is it compatible with the PS3, yes. I stream all my music, movies and photos to it | 05:38 |
| Dead1 | sup | 05:38 |
| Dead1 | hi every body | 05:39 |
| illmortal | well can I minimize it?... like say to 2gb of swap? | 05:39 |
| mikegriffin | illmortal: if you think you are swapping too much as confirmed with vmstat, you might play with systcl vm.swappiness, try 30 | 05:39 |
| nbeebo | What I'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. | 05:39 |
| arquebus | Menza- thx | 05:39 |
| amuro | mikegriffin, i have 3GB ram and i turn off swap, nothing happen | 05:39 |
| Dead1 | well this is my firs time on this | 05:39 |
| MenZa | arquebus: Welcome. | 05:39 |
| RukusX | jp_sf, i don't know man. hooked it up to gf's comp to chkdsk /f and then noticed... "This device is nbot running at hi-speed, if you connect this to a usb 2.0 hub... etc.." message. maybe i need a new cord? i might just invest in a high quality one. | 05:39 |
| mikegriffin | amuro: great, good job | 05:39 |
| eqnix | Boxee.tv is a lot better than elisa | 05:39 |
| eseven73 | LAMP is so easy in 8.04 anyways, if anyone would like a link for the howto just hollar, I got my LAMP set up in like 15 mins and I'm not a guru :) | 05:39 |
| MenZa | Dead1: Welcome to #ubuntu. | 05:39 |
| mikegriffin | MenZa: that *was* sarcasm | 05:39 |
| Dead1 | hey suo | 05:39 |
| fgc | hi guys...don't know if anyone here is experienced with pgplot 5.2, but trying to install on ubuntu 8.10, but get errors with gcc-3.4 and g77-3.4...do i need to just start from scratch with an install of 8.04? | 05:39 |
| flubuntu | thanks tristanmike... | 05:39 |
| tristanmike | flubuntu: check out their home page, you can also install it via synaptic | 05:39 |
| faileas | RukusX: its not the cord | 05:39 |
| Dead1 | y just download ubunto for games | 05:39 |
| nickrud | amuro, in general, bad advice. You're welcome to use what you like, but don't advise Works for Me™ | 05:39 |
| Dead1 | look great | 05:39 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: thank you! | 05:39 |
| faileas | RukusX: its either you have a cheap USB hub, or an older system | 05:40 |
| RukusX | faileas, what is it? | 05:40 |
| tristanmike | flubuntu: you have to make a couple of changes listed in the webpage, be sure to read it | 05:40 |
| Dead1 | m_ | 05:40 |
| MenZa | Dead1: This channel is only for support requests - any other discussion can take place in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 05:40 |
| arquebus | eseven- please Id like the link to your howto on lamp | 05:40 |
| eseven73 | k one sec | 05:40 |
| nickrud | mikegriffin, that Works for Me™ is handy ;) | 05:40 |
| Dead1 | ok | 05:40 |
| RukusX | faileas, its a 2 year old HP running XP and a 3 year old Dell running Ubuntu | 05:40 |
| faileas | in general though, short of popping in a PCI USB card, there's not much you can do, RukusX | 05:40 |
| Dead1 | so u have to go out.. | 05:40 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: swap is A Good ThingTM | 05:40 |
| Dead1 | or | 05:40 |
| faileas | RukusX: which box is giving the error? | 05:40 |
| RukusX | faileas, your assumptions that i am at my ends here, beilders me | 05:40 |
| RukusX | bewilders | 05:41 |
| faileas | still, swapping the cord dosen't do anything ;) | 05:41 |
| eseven73 | arquebus: http://lijamez.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/lighting-up-lamp/ | 05:41 |
| mikegriffin | any clues on my font issue? | 05:41 |
| mikegriffin | hello, i did a dist-upgrade and some fonts that appear in dpkg are not available to things like firefox, do i need to do something with defoma? | 05:41 |
| arquebus | eseven73: ah big thanks | 05:41 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: i havent forgotten about you | 05:41 |
| nickrud | mikegriffin, bitmapped fonts? | 05:41 |
| MenZa | mikegriffin: Have you logged out and back in? | 05:41 |
| eseven73 | anytime | 05:41 |
| Mayank | thanx...eseven73..:) | 05:41 |
| mikegriffin | MenZa: rebooted to new kernel | 05:41 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: opensymbol | 05:41 |
| ebaby | nickrud: i get "cannot open display" when I enter that cmd | 05:41 |
| MenZa | Pass | 05:42 |
| nickrud | ebaby, are you running that in a terminal on the desktop? | 05:42 |
| RukusX | faileas, XP recognize it as "not being connected to a USB hi speed hub and lists ones available (which is all of them) and Ubuntu drives me nuts eith speeds of 1.1mb/sec and tell me " not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub" | 05:42 |
| RukusX | eith = with | 05:42 |
| faileas | RukusX: what device? | 05:42 |
| fgc | is there serious errors with installing gcc-3.4 and g77-3.4 on ubuntu 8.10? | 05:42 |
| RukusX | External Hard drive | 05:42 |
| ebaby | nickrud: yes i booted into recovery and entered the root and am typing commands into the terminal | 05:43 |
| faileas | RukusX: is the external drive USB 2.0 compatable? >_> | 05:43 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: can you close all firefox out, and type 'firefox' in a terminal and pastebin some of the errors if any? | 05:43 |
| RukusX | faileas at least the packaging claimed it was. | 05:43 |
| nickrud | ebaby, so you're typing into a console, rather than running the gui? | 05:43 |
| Mayank | no error i think...ok..wait | 05:43 |
| RukusX | faileas i'm not using the usb cord that was supplied with it | 05:43 |
| faileas | RukusX: shouldn't matter | 05:43 |
| reportingsjr | If I upgrade to the next version of ubuntu will it delete/mess up any of my programs? | 05:44 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: the terminal should spit out all kinds of stuff when you run 'firefox' from it | 05:44 |
| Mayank | yup...no error | 05:44 |
| nbeebo | What I'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. To the extend of broadcasting audio files trough means of thy service ventrilo unt voice-in game. | 05:44 |
| Mayank | and nothing in terminal | 05:44 |
| ebaby | nickrud: yes as there is no gui for me after the restart following install | 05:44 |
| nbeebo | extent* lol | 05:44 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: ok try to surf a bit and keep watching terminal for errors | 05:44 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Can anyone help me with Apache2... I can only see my web page via http://localhost not via my ip address. | 05:44 |
| nickrud | ebaby, gedit only runs when the X is running, and you have a graphical desktop. You can use nano. And if you're using the recovery console, you don't need sudo because you're already root. | 05:44 |
| newbie-ubuntu | guys anyone here with some vmware expertise to help me out | 05:44 |
| faileas | Zombie_Gaz: check if the ports are open | 05:45 |
| fgc | i've been reading the forums and from what i can tell, it's because g77 is no longer supported and gfortran is however pgplot suggests f2c and other fortran compilers don't compile some code that g77 can, which is needed with pgplot | 05:45 |
| Mayank | ok..i do that...u tell me what i use for mobile..wammu, gammu or both download/install, eseven73? | 05:45 |
| faileas | newbie-ubuntu: might wanna try the vmware channel as well | 05:45 |
| newbie-ubuntu | thanks faileas | 05:45 |
| reportingsjr | If I upgrade to the next version of ubuntu will it delete/mess up any of my programs? | 05:45 |
| nickrud | Zombie_Gaz, you mean the local network ip or the internet ip? | 05:45 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: one sec | 05:45 |
| Zombie_Gaz | faileas: explain. i have gone into my router and make a port range forward for 80 | 05:45 |
| faileas | reportingsjr: hopefully no | 05:45 |
| colton1 | i need some help please, i have a ATI Mobility Radeon X300 and the highest resolution i can get is 1024x768...i should be able to get 1400x1050 | 05:45 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea for some reason it seems that both of the speakers are on the same line, even though they are stereo left and right | 05:45 |
| Zombie_Gaz | nickrud: internet ip AND local network ip | 05:45 |
| faileas | Zombie_Gaz: try another port. lots of home isps block port 90 | 05:45 |
| reportingsjr | faileas: hopefully? hehe. That's good enough for me :) | 05:46 |
| RukusX | faileas, i am dumbfounded then | 05:46 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: i think i found it in dpkg ttf-opensymbol.postinst | 05:46 |
| faileas | RukusX: ditto i'm afraid | 05:46 |
| caimlas | On intrepid my laptop gets very unresponsive (think: like when copying to a floppy disk in Windows) when I've got any sort of disk i/o load. does anyone here know anything about the i/o scheduler used by default or some way to give the UI and desktop applications i/o preference (as was more of a default back in older kernel versions, it seems)? | 05:46 |
| mikegriffin | if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ] && [ -e /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ]; then | 05:46 |
| mikegriffin | fc-cache -fs | 05:46 |
| Zombie_Gaz | faileas: i'm on port 80 | 05:46 |
| nickrud | mikegriffin, that looks nomal ... | 05:46 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: i wanted to figure out how to regen | 05:47 |
| getxsick | i use x11 video, and under gmplayer i have blue borders in full screen mode, for mplayer they are black ones, how to set them to the black in gmplayer? | 05:47 |
| fgc | is there a better channel for me to be on with questions relating to installing pgplot? | 05:47 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: hmm from what i can tell Wammu is just the frontend for gammu, but i'm really not an expert on mobile stuff :) | 05:47 |
| RukusX | faileas running a well due chkdsk on the drive with my XP machine. its taking some time. I'm sure its got some problems to fix. i should defrag it too | 05:47 |
| fgc | well not pgplot but g77- and gcc 3.4 | 05:47 |
| ebaby | nickrud: ok so then I am not sure which cmds to use then perhaps you can give me an assist as you may have explained why these cmds were not working - I am at: root@dawoud-ubuntu-latop:~# | 05:47 |
| mikegriffin | fgc: pgplot is not in apt.. | 05:47 |
| Mayank | so i download both..thanx:) | 05:48 |
| faileas | RukusX: try jkdefrag for that ;) | 05:48 |
| eseven73 | np | 05:48 |
| tristanmike | Can someone please tell me if Ubuntu 8.10 supports surround sound ? Thanks | 05:48 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler | 05:48 |
| RukusX | ok thanks | 05:48 |
| thompa | im getting a failure of fsck on boot to check sda2 my swap partition. Does it need to do that? | 05:48 |
| mikegriffin | should be completly fair (cfq) | 05:48 |
| fgc | mikegriffin: yeah i know...pgplot is easy enough to install if g77 and gcc 3.4 is, i added universal to my repositories | 05:48 |
| fgc | but still no luck with those | 05:48 |
| reportingsjr | how do I upgrade to the next version with apt? | 05:48 |
| mikegriffin | fgc: since its not in apt, its likely people here dont know it | 05:48 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | reportingsjr | 05:49 |
| ubottu | reportingsjr: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:49 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok. if you want to edit menu.lst, try typing nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:49 |
| faileas | nickrud / ebaby : you need a sudo there | 05:49 |
| fgc | mikegriffin: thanks man...is it easy enough to downgrade to 8.04 or is a complete re-install needed to do that? | 05:49 |
| nickrud | faileas, not in recovery console ;) | 05:49 |
| faileas | fgc: complete reinstall | 05:49 |
| faileas | nickrud: oops >_> | 05:50 |
| nickrud | faileas, heh. been there, done that :) | 05:50 |
| faileas | lol | 05:50 |
| ebaby | nickrud: i believe that is what i want to do as this page: "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54867" pretty much describes my probs and give some (possible) fixes for it. | 05:50 |
| fgc | faileas: cool, thanks man...thought that would be the case...few more hours of fun to be had then :) | 05:50 |
| fgc | faileas and mikegriffin thanks guys...much appreciated | 05:50 |
| faileas | i was paying attention to the slightly annoyingly complex ubuntu cli install i am working on ;) | 05:50 |
| faileas | (lvm is a pain to set up IMO ) | 05:50 |
| mikegriffin | fgc: gnuplot no good? | 05:51 |
| thompa | error im getting unable to check sda2 with fsck, but it is swap | 05:51 |
| nickrud | ebaby, so you found the kernel options that enable your machine to install, now want to add them to menu.lst? | 05:51 |
| GreedyB | Anyone here use Exaile!? | 05:51 |
| mati | I see you talk a lot about sound drivers..how to install those..I could not find on asus website ? | 05:51 |
| fgc | mikegriffin: well this is for a friend who needs pgplot for their physics research...i'll find out, but i bet he doesn't know, hence me setting up his linux box :P | 05:51 |
| Nautilus__ | i setup a lamp stack and things have been going good, but I put in some <iframe> code and FF tells me the browser doesnt support frames... what the heck would do that? | 05:52 |
| mikegriffin | gnuplot may be a good replacement and is very common | 05:52 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: some forums are suggesting maybe java is to blame for the crashes in firefox, go here to see if your java is working (if you see a dancing logo its working) http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml | 05:52 |
| fgc | mikegriffin: thanks mate...i'll try to find out, i know if that is fine then all would be good...thanks very much for your time | 05:52 |
| tristanmike | Can someone help me get my rear speakers working under 8.10 and a SoundBlaster 5.1. It was working fine on 8.04 before I upgraded this evening. Thanks in advance. | 05:53 |
| mikegriffin | fgc: np, its in apt btw | 05:53 |
| tristanmike | I'm having a hard time with Pulse Audio | 05:53 |
| fgc | yeah i noticed gnuplot there | 05:53 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: that fixed my font issues completely (fc-cache -fs) | 05:53 |
| centr0 | whats the log file to check any errors at reboot? | 05:53 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, looks like it's [cfq] at the moment. | 05:53 |
| centr0 | dmesg? | 05:53 |
| nickrud | mikegriffin, if you can track down the update that broke that, you should file a bug. Good luck :) | 05:53 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: that is fine generally | 05:54 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, is that the "desktop" scheduler, then. | 05:54 |
| caimlas | ? | 05:54 |
| mikegriffin | nickrud: i went from gg to jj with apt :) | 05:54 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: yes | 05:54 |
| nickrud | ebaby, :) | 05:54 |
| ebaby | nickrud: well the article describes what is/was happening to me - install goes fine graphics works but after restart no graphics so I assume that if I can use the settings that were used during install and get them to stick then I am in business. This is not my forte so any assist U can give would be a lifejacket | 05:54 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: new default, old was anticipatory | 05:54 |
| Paradigm_Shift | is there any update on when the nvidia driver problem will be resolved? | 05:54 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to know if newer hard drives don't report dma info via hdparm? | 05:55 |
| npope | did Broadcom actually come out with a driver for bcm43xx cards? I am looking at Broadcom STA driver??? | 05:55 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: what is the Nvidia problem? Mine works fine with the latest updates??? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok. I can help you add that stuff to menu.lst. You said you booted into recovery mode; you got the blue screen and selected recovery console (or words to that effect)? | 05:55 |
| Mayank | java is enable in mozilla setting but in that site java is not enabled, eseven73? | 05:56 |
| nickrud | ebaby, just want to make sure we're working from the same starting point | 05:56 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope - I have a 6600 that worked fine with Hardy. Now with Ibex the nvidia glx drivers fail at boot up | 05:56 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, hmm that's helpful, thanks. | 05:56 |
| ebaby | nickrud: yes it gave options of ubuntu 8.10 straight or recovery Yes | 05:56 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, by old, you mean in hardy, I take? | 05:56 |
| nickrud | so now you have a totally text screen? | 05:56 |
| ebaby | nickrud: yes right now i am at GNU nano 2.0.7 | 05:57 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: is that a known problem ? | 05:57 |
| nickrud | with menu.lst open in it, I assume. | 05:57 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope - I believe so | 05:57 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: no in 2.4 kernel | 05:57 |
| ebaby | nickrud: File: /boot/grub/menu/1st | 05:57 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: you can tune it in /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/ | 05:57 |
| Gnea | PriceChild: HRM, I can get pulseaudio to work, but sound skips. | 05:57 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: look at quantum and queued | 05:58 |
| eseven73 | !java | Mayank get the sun java... | 05:58 |
| ubottu | Mayank get the sun java...: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 05:58 |
| * Gnea considers skipping sound to be 'not working right' | 05:58 | |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok, look for the line # defoptions=quiet splash | 05:58 |
| Gnea | it should be fluid and free of error, just like ALSA makes it sound. | 05:58 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope: what confuses me is that if all was well with 8.04, why would moving forward create the problem? There are a lot of users that are impacted. | 05:58 |
| spionlala | is there a way to have autocomplete-on-tab (like in terminal) in the alt-f2-application-starter ? | 05:58 |
| === danny_ is now known as srvrsyde | ||
| caimlas | mikegriffin, interesting. I've got a quantum (value '4') but no queued in there. | 05:59 |
| mikegriffin | spionlala: in gnome? it seems to wait until the command is unambig | 05:59 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: this is interesting. I am doing some googling right now. Have they located the problem | 05:59 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: me too.. | 05:59 |
| ebaby | nickrud: yeah looke dfor it but it is not here options are (for example:) ^g Get Help ^O Write out ^R Read file etc... | 05:59 |
| spionlala | mikegriffin, yes in gnome, unambig huh? | 05:59 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, ok, so that sounds normalish, then :P | 05:59 |
| nickrud | ebaby, no, in the file menu.lst | 05:59 |
| eseven73 | Mayank: i also think theres a sun-java6-plugin or something search synaptic package manager for JRE you'll see what i mean. install that as well | 05:59 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, any idea what the value in quantum indicates? | 05:59 |
| spionlala | mikegriffin, when i push tab in there , my focus jumps to the next element inside the window | 06:00 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea thanks for working with me, I have no idea where I stand on getting things working properly, hopefully with a fresh start tomorrow I can read through the ubuntustudio wiki and make heads or tails | 06:00 |
| caimlas | (and where'd you figure out all this stuff from? that resource would be useful) | 06:00 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope: I believe that the release notes mention the problem. | 06:00 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: you're welcome. i'm going to try and get pulseaudio working tonight, might even write a HOWTO. | 06:00 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: re: hdparm on sd use sginfo -I | 06:00 |
| tristanmike | Can someone help me get my rear speakers working under 8.10 and a SoundBlaster 5.1. It was working fine on 8.04 before I upgraded this evening. Thanks in advance. | 06:00 |
| mib_2dc6mp | cool | 06:01 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope: Why there is a problem I can not say. | 06:01 |
| tristanmike | I'm having a hard time with Pulse Audio | 06:01 |
| ebaby | nickrud: thought I was there How do I get [to] there | 06:01 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, even if it's an IDE (ATA) disk? | 06:01 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: quantum is the number of requested placed on a dispatch queue per cycle | 06:01 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea i will look u up tomorrow | 06:01 |
| Mayank | i i do that eseven73 | 06:01 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: no use hdparm -I | 06:01 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: requests* | 06:01 |
| nickrud | ebaby, hit ctl-X , and exit nano, without saving any files | 06:01 |
| Gnea | tristanmike: i'm trying to get pulseaudio to work right here... so far, sound just crackles (i only have a 2-speaker system at the moment) | 06:01 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: i may or may not be here, but i'll be around | 06:02 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: is this a desktop or server | 06:02 |
| tristanmike | Gnea: I've got 5 speakers and the sub... everything was working just fine on 8.04 but now I can't get my rear speakers to work | 06:02 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, for whatever reason, the drive isn't receiving commands from hdparm (saying they're not supported) | 06:02 |
| Gnea | tristanmike: you upgraded to 8.10? | 06:02 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, it's a laptop. older thinkpad x30, IDE interface | 06:02 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: you have a raid controller? | 06:02 |
| tristanmike | Gnea: yeah :( | 06:02 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, ubuntu detected/set it up as sda, for whatever reason. | 06:03 |
| ebaby | nickrub: ok back to root@dawoud-ubuntu-laptop:~# assuming that is wher I should be after hitting ctl-X | 06:03 |
| mikegriffin | try sg and see if the wrapper deals with it caimlas | 06:03 |
| jinja-sheep | Wow! Ubuntu Support IRC! | 06:03 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, sg driver isn't loaded, so... nfi why it got sda as a device name. | 06:03 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: ooo, i see. I belive that is a problem with the proprietary drivers Nvidia provides and not actaully something Ubuntu developers can do something about | 06:03 |
| tristanmike | Gnea: I've had no problems since way back in Hoary.... now I can't get it to work :( | 06:04 |
| mikegriffin | debian did it to me back when i was checking out lenny | 06:04 |
| caimlas | ... d'oh, sorry mikegriffin, needed to sudo | 06:04 |
| nickrud | ebaby, yep, you exited the program :) Now, again, run nano /boot/grub/menu.lst . Once you've done that, tell me the beginning of the first line on the screen, so I can make sure we're in the right file | 06:04 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: word | 06:04 |
| jinja-sheep | This is great. I wrote a script -- for mounting / unmounting encrypted openluks -- I'm curious if one know how to bypass the sudo 'password' for the said script? | 06:04 |
| mikegriffin | jinja-sheep: use sudo with no password.. | 06:04 |
| mikegriffin | for that one command! | 06:04 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: You can modify sudoers so that particular command won't require a password. | 06:04 |
| christer_ | can anyone maybe help me with a newbie problem? trying to get a game called egoboo to work. but i can't figure out how to edit the settings files | 06:04 |
| ebaby | nicjrub: that is where i ended up after typing that cmd Let me try it again | 06:04 |
| mikegriffin | jinja-sheep: you might also put the user in the disk group | 06:05 |
| rdvade | Hello, Can someone explain to me what exactly exempts Ubuntu from being a completely free distro (in the eyes of the FSF). I'm Having a discussion about this issue and I'm struggling to find a solid answer on exactly which parts are non-free (on a clean install). I thought it was the trademarks or perhaps how Ubuntu facilitates the use of non free software - but I feel I'm missing something. | 06:05 |
| Gnea | tristanmike: read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound | 06:05 |
| tristanmike | rdvade, you should probably check off topic | 06:05 |
| nickrud | ebaby, just being cautious. this is a critical file, gotta be sure we don't muck it up | 06:05 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope: I realize that the nvidia drivers are proprietary. What puzzles me is that if all worked well under 8.04, if the nvidia driver did not change then the problem seems to be with 8.10. | 06:05 |
| mikegriffin | rdvade: www.gnewsense.org | 06:05 |
| christer_ | when i try to save a file in etc\egoboo it says i dont have permission | 06:05 |
| tristanmike | Gnea: thanks, great starting point... I was looking for something like this. | 06:05 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: its not a problem. X server is newer in 8.10 and not compatible with the Nvidia drivers | 06:06 |
| nickrud | christer_, you need admin privs; gksu gedit <file> will do that for you | 06:06 |
| christer_ | nickrud: thanks! | 06:06 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: Nvidia needs to update their drivers to work with the new X server... I do not think they are going to do that though | 06:06 |
| mikegriffin | npope: so there is no way to use nvidia binary drivers in jj atm? | 06:06 |
| refefer | hmm, read through grep information on ubuntu, but it didn't solve my problem. Any ideas how to specify during the install which physical harddrive it installs on? | 06:06 |
| npope | jj atm? | 06:06 |
| mikegriffin | jaunty at the moment, sorry | 06:07 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope: do you know what changed in x server????? | 06:07 |
| spionlala | whats the name of the application that "alt-f2" starts? | 06:07 |
| ebaby | nickrub: black screen title bar is white left says GNU nano 2.0.7 Middle says File: /boot/grub/menu.1st cursor is blinking below and then bottom of screen has two runs of text beginning with ^G Get help endiing with ^T To spell with many choices in between | 06:07 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel + mikegriffin : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disable_root_password_and_gain_su_sudo_with_no_password -- Is that this? The second codebox under "Editing /etc/sudoers" | 06:07 |
| npope | mikegriffin: not at the moment. unless nvidia decides to update the driver. the open source nv driver will work for most things... but unfortunatley no 3D | 06:08 |
| rdvade | mikegriffin: thanks for taking the time | 06:08 |
| tristanmike | Gnea: ok, so the 5.1 test works fine | 06:08 |
| nickrud | ebaby, what's at the very top? | 06:08 |
| jinja-sheep | Err, I mean the third. | 06:08 |
| mikegriffin | rdvade: not a problem | 06:08 |
| ebaby | nickrub: **rows | 06:08 |
| npope | Paradigm_Shift: they changed a lot of things. I can not pinpoint one specific thing that made the driver to be incompatible. | 06:08 |
| mikegriffin | npope: it seems to work but even flash draws slowly :( | 06:08 |
| ebaby | Nickrub: very top says GNU nano 2.0.7 | 06:08 |
| nickrud | ebaby, let me rephrase, does the 3d line start with # menu.lst | 06:08 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: No, you want to instead specify NOPASSWD for a specific command, let me find a page | 06:08 |
| mikegriffin | Flannel: would the disk group not work? | 06:09 |
| npope | mikegriffin: :( | 06:09 |
| nickrud | ebaby, brain fart on my part, asking for the first line. | 06:09 |
| Paradigm_Shift | npope: thanks. :) | 06:09 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/man/sudoers.html#nopasswd_and_passwd | 06:09 |
| ebaby | nickrud: no that phrase is nowhere to be found where I am presently | 06:09 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: (That's actually from the man page) | 06:09 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm trying to pair a bluetooth headset with my ubuntu machine. However, in the gnome bt preferences, only the Input service has an "Add" button for devices - Audio only has one for remove. Any idea why? | 06:10 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea you still around? | 06:10 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, can you think of anything which might cause X (with xfce) to become almost entirely unresponsive while (for instance) processing triggers during an apt-get install? by 'totally unresponsive' I mean "mouse input is lagged and jumpy to the degree of multiple seconds, keyboard input sometimes takes a good 10s to print to display, task switching appears blocked"... and maybe a way to get around it? it's infuriating an | 06:10 |
| caimlas | d reminds me of how windows "performs". | 06:10 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: Lol. I resort to websites more than man pages. >_> | 06:10 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: Will take a look at it. | 06:10 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: bug in kernel with your chipset possibly, have an older one? | 06:10 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok then we have a problem. oh. it's menu.Lst, not menu.ONE.lst | 06:10 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: You'll find a good deal of the more complicated man pages include examples and copious (sometimes to its own detriment) documentation | 06:10 |
| ebaby | nickrud: closest things is File: /boot/grub/menu/1st which is at the very top to the left of GNU nano 2.0.7 | 06:10 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: yeah | 06:11 |
| mikegriffin | Flannel: would the disk group not work? | 06:11 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea I just had a last thought, so my sound card comes with a mixer, I am wondering if there is a way to just set alsa to defaults or even not use it | 06:11 |
| ebaby | nickrud: lol | 06:11 |
| five | can someone help me, i have a bootdisk.exe program for making a win98 bootdisk, i need the disk to install win98 in virtualbox yet i have no floppy drive so i need to virtualize a floppy drive in order to create the boot disk and boot for virtualbox | 06:11 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, an older chipset? yeah, it's been around for a while. this is a P3M 1.2GHz w/512M, all intel chipsets (except wireless which is a prism/orinoco minipci). | 06:11 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: have an older kernel around? | 06:11 |
| Flannel | mikegriffin: That depends on what he wants to do. But the biggest issue is he wants to make it work for the specific command | 06:11 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: well, were you able to use the card in windows? | 06:11 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea yea I used it | 06:12 |
| mikegriffin | Flannel: i see, thanks | 06:12 |
| five | basically im looking for a program that will create a virtual floppy disk in linux | 06:12 |
| ebaby | nickrud: so I exit again and then type "nano /... but with .Lst as in capital 'L' ? | 06:12 |
| caimlas | mikearr, nothing 'older' no... I've had this problem for a while, pretty much since 2.6 I think. | 06:12 |
| Flannel | ebaby: No, lowercase l | 06:12 |
| nickrud | no, small L none One | 06:12 |
| LawnGnome1 | five: Set CD rom as first boot device in BIOS | 06:12 |
| caimlas | er, ^ mikegriffin | 06:12 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: then there must be a way to get the audio out in a properly balanced stereo via ALSA... just not sure how | 06:13 |
| ebaby | nickrud: you mean to say not one but L (lowercase)i.e. 'l' | 06:13 |
| nickrud | ebaby, yes | 06:13 |
| five | LawnGnome1(!) it is set that way, i recieve a falure no bootable medium found, so i need to have a boot disk | 06:14 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, though it's become particularly irksome of late. I did install ubuntu 8.04.1 (when previously I didn't have that .1 version) on a new drive (old failed) and upgraded to intrepid the other day. | 06:14 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea yea I started to tweak it | 06:14 |
| mikegriffin | caimlas: gotta run sorry | 06:14 |
| mikegriffin | night everyone | 06:14 |
| caimlas | mikegriffin, thanks for the help | 06:14 |
| biouser | so what are the options for simple editing of mp3's? | 06:14 |
| alex_ | Hello does anyone know of a gui that can rip a dvd to one unadulterated mpeg 2 file? | 06:14 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea it seems that I just use line 1 and then I found that vmixer 8 nd 9 control the balance | 06:15 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea but not the way I would like | 06:15 |
| faileas | alex_: i think handbrake is supported on linux, and would do the job | 06:15 |
| Gnea | mib_2dc6mp: it's going to take some time | 06:15 |
| biouser | I am having big trouble with pulse audio and audacity, ardour doesn't like compressed formats and it overkill for what I am trying to to (and won't play sound with pulse audio either) | 06:15 |
| nbeebo | What I'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. To the extent of broadcasting audio files trough means of thy service ventrilo unt voice-in game. | 06:15 |
| Starwiz | Does anyone know how to partition my harddrive in ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| LawnGnome1 | five: hrmm,, try resetting BIOS by removing the battery? | 06:15 |
| mib_2dc6mp | Gnea maxed 8 and 9 make left channel dominant, reducing 8 and 9 bring right channel more dom | 06:15 |
| Paradigm_Shift | alex_: try k9copy | 06:15 |
| Gnea | biouser: audacity doesn't support pulseaudio | 06:16 |
| biouser | Starwiz gparted | 06:16 |
| Starwiz | I tried that | 06:16 |
| alex_ | does k9copy try to reencode the dvd? | 06:16 |
| faileas | Starwiz: you can do it while installing, or using gparted, which is on the live disk | 06:16 |
| biouser | Gnea right | 06:16 |
| ebaby | nickrub: ok here we are -back to civilization- I C menu.lst | 06:16 |
| Starwiz | Gparted didn't work... It wont let me resize. | 06:16 |
| Gnea | biouser: are you looking to disable pulseaudio? | 06:16 |
| alex_ | I just want the program to rip it to one file instead of 10 vob files | 06:16 |
| Paradigm_Shift | alex_: you can do a straight copy to ISO or to MPEG4 | 06:16 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok now look for # defoptions=quiet splash | 06:16 |
| solotim | [Problem: mount.cifs] I used mount.cifs //192.168.0.101/folder /meida/folder -o username=some password=some. and it sucessfully mounted the target, but all the utf8 folder name has been turned to "?????" , so, guys, what should i do ? | 06:17 |
| alex_ | paradigm_shift doesnt that reencode the video to mpeg 4? | 06:17 |
| Starwiz | gparted doesn't let me resize a partition... What do I do? lol. | 06:17 |
| five | LawnGnome1(!) thats not gonna work, the iso i have of win98 is not distrubeted commercially it is a modified version therefore i need a msdos promt to install from, meaning i need a virtual floppy disk application to preted to create the boot disk | 06:17 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: I got it. But how do I know if this is working -- Not the limited time of 15min or so. | 06:17 |
| Paradigm_Shift | alex_: if you do a straight copy it does not re-encode. You can rip to mpeg 4 as well. | 06:17 |
| biouser | Gnea well, I was hoping to work with it if I can make some simple edits on some mp3 with some other program | 06:18 |
| nickrud | !piracy | five (we don't do that here) | 06:18 |

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 06:18 |
| tristanmike | How can I get my 5.1 surround to work with 8.10. I've verified the sound card is detected, and sound is going to each speaker fine using "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav" However, Rhythmbox for example, won't play in more than 2 channels. I was using 8.04 earlier this evening and it was working fine. Now that I upgraded I can't get it to work. Any help is appreciated. | 06:18 |
| ebaby | nickrud: not visible is there more to the screen e.g. can i scroll down otherewise it is not here | 06:18 |
| five | not piracy i own win 98 key, the disk is so old it will not boot im booting a modified version of one i own | 06:18 |

| LawnGnome1 | five, you still here? | 06:24 |
| nickrud | xorand, try more servers. It's be odd that they'd all be having internal errors | 06:24 |
| ebaby | nickrud: done (can't remember if I did "edd=on" but I typed it in anyway have not hit enter yet so let me know its been like 24hrs on this things so its getting a little fuzzy... | 06:24 |

| biouser | maybe there is something in there | 06:24 |
| xorand | first time ever this happened though | 06:24 |
| five | LawnGnome1(!) thnx | 06:24 |
| ziroday | babarabbas: yep, look into a program named dansguardian | 06:24 |
| LawnGnome1 | five, that is one of the fixes that I once used, or very much like that | 06:24 |
| nickrud | ebaby, you'd best be sure, since this could break your boot. Do you mean edid=on? Don't quote me on this, cuz I'm clueless about your actual issue, just helping you make this change to menu.lst | 06:25 |
| ziroday | xorand: you could contact your loco, they should know what may have happened to the server | 06:25 |
| mojo | hello | 06:25 |
| babarabbas | ok, DansGaurdian is a Parent Control Software, but can't we do it through any built in firewall | 06:25 |
| babarabbas | Ziroday | 06:25 |
| mojo | can I ask question about Xubuntu here? | 06:25 |
| Commie_Cary | ugh | 06:25 |
| babarabbas | Ziroday: that way I will get my hands on a firewall as well | 06:25 |
| ebaby | nickrud: it is "edd=on" I'm pretty sure I did hit enter or...? | 06:26 |
| Commie_Cary | parental controls | 06:26 |
| biouser | Gnea so audacity wants to use OSS? | 06:26 |
| ^Manu | where does apt store the debs it's downloaded? | 06:26 |
| jinja-sheep | mojo: Sure. You might have better luck with #xubuntu | 06:26 |
| Gnea | !xubuntu | mojo | 06:26 |
| ubottu | mojo: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 06:26 |
| ziroday | babarabbas: sorry I don't follow, you install dans guardian and it filters out the unwanted sites for you? Is that not what you want? | 06:26 |
| ^Manu | i need to back them up, reinstall, and the reinstall all my packages without having to download them again.. :/ | 06:26 |
| Commie_Cary | any parent who is willing to invade there childs privicy is a bad parrent | 06:26 |
| babarabbas | Yes | 06:26 |

| ubottu | ^Manu: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 06:26 |
| Gnea | biouser: snd_pcm_oss.ko should make that possible, it's just looking for a /dev/dsp device | 06:26 |
| babarabbas | Ziroday: Yes that's what I want | 06:26 |
| mojo | thx | 06:26 |
| thinkpaduser | hey guys. if a kernel patch fails, should the sources be re-installed/unpacked before future attempts at a patch? | 06:26 |
| Flannel | ^Manu: but, /var/cache/apt/archive/ | 06:26 |
| ziroday | babarabbas: right, dans guardian does that | 06:26 |
| ^Manu | i have no cd drive.. | 06:26 |
| babarabbas | Ziroday: I have read about DanGaurdian | 06:27 |
| biouser | Gnea should make what possible, what should I do? | 06:27 |

| Flannel | ^Manu: not necessarily. You should look into aptoncd, it'll make it easier | 06:27 |
| ziroday | tristanmike: there is a command line version called alsamixer | 06:28 |
| ^Manu | or perhaps its possible for me to update an 8.04 install without reinstalling? | 06:28 |
| ^Manu | from a disc | 06:28 |
| ^Manu | ie, no internet | 06:28 |
| biouser | bo how are you starting it? | 06:28 |
| biouser | psql | 06:28 |
| ^Manu | flannel: no cd drive. | 06:28 |
| Flannel | ^Manu: The alternate CD, yes. | 06:28 |
| tristanmike | ziroday: right, but when I use it, I get Pulse Audio with one option, but I want the "old" alsamixer | 06:28 |
| Flannel | ^Manu: aptoncd works with USB too | 06:28 |
| ^Manu | alternate cd will update? :/ | 06:28 |
| jinja-sheep | Manu: That's fine. Save the ISO. Transfer the image. | 06:28 |
| biouser | bo or just starting the daemon | 06:28 |

| Paradigm_Shift | alex_: there are only a few dvd ripping programs. Look at k9copy and dvdrip | 06:28 |

| Bossmanbeta | I see that ubuntu 8.10 is out of beta, is there a plan to offer an <upgrade> button for a 1-click upgrade, as they did from 7.10 to 8.04 ? | 06:29 |
| preecha | \EXIT | 06:29 |
| Flannel | ^Manu: yes, the alternate CD can be used to upgrade | 06:29 |
| Gnea | biouser: the snd_pcm_oss kernel module makes /dev/dsp in relation to the ALSA device, i'm not sure how that work with pulseaudio just yet... | 06:29 |

| Mayank | i want to play full enemy territory (ubuntu version) in my ubuntu, someone tell me steps please? | 06:29 |
| jinja-sheep | babarabbas: Ubuntu don't need firewall. If you have router, configure it from there. http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 | 06:29 |
| Flannel | Bossmanbeta: There already is actually. You just have to configure your 8.04 to ask about all upgrades, instead of just LTS ones. (It's a second tab in software sources) | 06:29 |
| biouser | Gnea so I can get something with apt, okay thanks | 06:29 |
| xorand | ok, I went to the source of all goodness (main server) and the problem went away :) | 06:29 |
| Commie_Cary | Mayank, you mean linux verison ubuntu is a linux distro | 06:29 |
| ebaby | nickrud: after clt-X and then Y hit enter when it says " file Name to Write: /boot....lst" ? | 06:30 |
| mn | Is there anyone here that would assist me with remote desktop connection? | 06:30 |
| Gnea | tyta: !laptop | 06:30 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, I see... | 06:30 |
| Gnea | oops | 06:30 |
| Gnea | !laptop | 06:30 |
| ubottu | Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 06:30 |
| nickrud | ebaby, say yes. It will write out the same name it loaded as | 06:30 |
| unr3a1 | hey all | 06:30 |
| Mayank | yes..commie_cary | 06:30 |
| xorand | mn, what's the problem? | 06:30 |
| Gnea | tyta: sorry about that, just read your post | 06:30 |
| unr3a1 | how can I exit the xserver in ubuntu and get to just a command line? | 06:30 |
| Commie_Cary | Mayank, well use correct terms | 06:30 |
| ziroday | unr3a1: you can do ctrl + alt + f1 | 06:31 |
| Mayank | commie_cary, correct terms means? | 06:31 |
| Flannel | Bossmanbeta: Since you're not required to upgrade to 8.10 (since you can go straight from 8.04 to 10.04), it's the best way to handle it. | 06:31 |
| ziroday | unr3a1: to get back its ctrl + alt + f7 | 06:31 |
| ebaby | nickrud: that is what I am seeing I guess and then? | 06:31 |
| racarter | i installed kubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu, but now the loading screen has the kubuntu logo when starting the computer, how do I replace this with the ubuntu logo? | 06:31 |
| nickrud | Commie_Cary, more polite, please. Not everyone knows the right terms | 06:31 |
| Commie_Cary | Mayank, the verison that owkrs on ubuntu would work on any linux system in fact any *nix system | 06:31 |
| Commie_Cary | so you linux or *nix verison | 06:31 |
| nickrud | ebaby, you've saved? | 06:31 |
| Davekong | Does anyone know a good CLI app like pidgin with gtalk and aim support? if not cli at least a single master window that plays nicer with a tiling wm | 06:31 |
| unr3a1 | ziroday: but will that shut the xserver down? | 06:31 |
| ebaby | Commie_cary: cant see or didnt get the PM | 06:31 |
| Flannel | racarter: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so | 06:31 |
| mn | xorand: I am trying to help this guy and it refuses my connection every time. He is hooked directly to his modem and I am behind a router. he set up the remote desktop connection (system > preferences, etc) but I still can't connet | 06:31 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, 10.04? u mean the next LTS? | 06:32 |
| racarter | Flannel, thanks | 06:32 |
| ziroday | unr3a1: to shut it down you can use the command sudo /etc/init.d/x11-common stop | 06:32 |
| racarter | i have no idea how people know these things.. | 06:32 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, It's the 3rd tab by the way ... and I see I have "Long term support releases only" selected. | 06:32 |
| Gnea | tyta: have you seen these: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014341 and http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600097 | 06:32 |
| jinja-sheep | Davekong: Use finch. | 06:32 |
| Flannel | Bossmanbeta: 10.04 is scheduled to be the next LTS, yes. | 06:32 |
| Mayank | commie_cary, so tell me the steps plz...what to download..? | 06:32 |
| unr3a1 | ziroday: alright. then sudo init 6 to reboot back into it | 06:32 |
| jinja-sheep | !info finch | Davekong | 06:33 |

| nickrud | ebaby, hit enter | 06:33 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, is there any reason to try 8.10? I prefer LTS releases (but other than that preference I mean) | 06:33 |
| ziroday | unr3a1: um no, you can do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 06:33 |
| Commie_Cary | Mayank, you need to get Quake 3 arena(however you wish ;)) then follow the instructions in the zip file | 06:33 |
| ziroday | unr3a1: in fact to stop it you should do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 06:33 |
| tristanmike | How can I get my 5.1 surround to work with 8.10. I've verified the sound card is detected, and sound is going to each speaker fine using "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav" However, Rhythmbox for example, won't play in more than 2 channels. I was using 8.04 earlier this evening and it was working fine. Now that I upgraded I can't get it to work. Any help is appreciated. | 06:33 |
| Flannel | Bossmanbeta: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810overview goes over whats new. I'm personally sticking with 8.04 (of course, I just upgraded to 8.04 from 6.06 a week ago) | 06:33 |
| ebaby | nickrub: thanks now I am back to "root@..." | 06:34 |
| Commie_Cary | ebaby, -_- join #1235467784 and well talk | 06:34 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, That must've been a heck of a jump :) | 06:34 |
| Mayank | commie_cary, u mean quack 3 arena is better..?..so tell me how to download this.. | 06:34 |
| mn | xorand what do you think? | 06:34 |
| unr3a1 | ziroday: ok, and I can do this from a terminal window, or after I have logged out of xserver into the command line? | 06:34 |
| cparman | Hi, is there a fix for the WPA issue in the Wireless network connection utility? | 06:34 |
| biouser | bo are you trying to run Django? | 06:34 |
| Commie_Cary | Mayank, no you need to downlaod that then download enemy terrtiory | 06:34 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok, one step left. run update-grub . that will add those options we just entered to the kernel lines, the ones you edited by hand during startup | 06:34 |
| bo | biouser: it does not work | 06:34 |
| Commie_Cary | and its a commerical game | 06:34 |
| Flannel | Bossmanbeta: 2006 and 2007 (and a little of 2008) was a good couple of years for FOSS maturity, yes. | 06:34 |
| Commie_Cary | so sense I cant do anything iilegal here | 06:35 |
| ziroday | unr3a1: anywhere you want, but if you to issue sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop your current xsession will close and you will lose any unsaved work on it | 06:35 |
| mike | hey does anyone know another chat server i can download for ubuntu | 06:35 |

| Mayank | commie_cary, ok..so tell me | 06:35 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, so I won't have to do an intermediate upgrade to 8.10 to reach 10.04, I can jump straight to 10.04 from 8.04 | 06:35 |
| unr3a1 | ziroday: thank you | 06:35 |

| Flannel | Bossmanbeta: Right. You can go LTS straight to LTS | 06:35 |

| bo | anybody help, i have problem starting postgresql:insecure directory in $ENV{path} while running with -T switch at /usr/share/postgresql-common/PgCommon.pm line 654 | 06:38 |

| Bossmanbeta | Flannel, I suppose if I understood the versioning logic ... I would have known by inference that 8.10 was already released... since it's Jan '09 :) | 06:38 |
| refefer | gah, ok. Here's the situation: I would like to install ubuntu on my main machine, but for some reason my cd/dvd drive freezes when trying to boot from the cd. So, I try unetboot for a flashdrive install, except that grub retardedly keeps installing the mbr on the _flashdrive_. any thoughts on what the heck I can do? | 06:38 |

| nickrud | ebaby, I did not understand that | 06:40 |
| biouser | where are the master docs for audio in ubuntu? | 06:40 |
| Gnea | cparman: you should also note, that WPA is now vulnerable to convernational attack, WPA2 is safer | 06:40 |
| ziroday | cparman: it could also be the wireless drivers don't (yet) support WPA | 06:40 |
| refefer | ziroday: sadly for me, I can't use the livecd: it freaks out my monitor | 06:40 |
| cparman | Gnea: I just click on the network icon at the to of the screen and choose my SSID | 06:40 |
| biouser | maybe I need to take the bull by the horns myself :( | 06:40 |
| ebaby | nickrud: waiting for it to reboot now. Will I need to go back to nano /boot... to check to see if the modification that was made was saved? | 06:40 |
| thinkpaduser | cparman: you may need a restricted driver enabled | 06:40 |
| ziroday | Gnea: WPA has some cracks but it is still secure :) | 06:41 |
| cparman | I can do WPA2m just as well | 06:41 |
| Gnea | cparman: okay, you'll need to do a bit more than just that. you have to right-click on it and Edit Connections, go to the wireless tab, select your SSID and edit that | 06:41 |
| nickrud | ebaby, if it boots to gui, you're good to go. If not, we'll take a look. | 06:41 |
| ziroday | refefer: erm I am not certain where the option to install grub is on the alternate cd. Sorry | 06:41 |

| biouser | audacity not only doesn't support pulse audio but basically guarantees that you will need to reboot if you try to open audacity while pulse audio is running | 06:43 |
| Gnea | cparman: just choose the 'wireless security' tab and select WPA & WPA2 Personal | 06:43 |

It works for tty1 but when I ctrl+alt+F7 my tv says no signal. monitor is fine. it won't output x. can anyone help me? | 06:47 |

| tehquickness | biouser: ouch. hmmmm | 06:48 |

| nbeebo | What I'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. To the extent of broadcasting audio files trough means of thy service ventrilo unt voice-in game. | 06:51 |
| tristanmike | LawnGnome1: it would seem that 1) I had to ensure that the switch "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" needed to be Unchecked | 06:52 |
| LawnGnome1 | tristanmike: Usually is, that is what happens on overlays and stuff. | 06:52 |
| nbeebo | Son_of_Demetrius, u dont really need one with ubuntu and other noob friendly distros... | 06:52 |

| ebaby | nickrud: yes acouple of sections that are grouped together e.g. title uuid kernel initrd - yeah I see what I changed "acpi=off" etc... | 06:54 |
| darren_ | is there any thing in ubuntu that allows file/folder permissions similar to windows (this is the only fault im finding but 1 that id like to be able to use) | 06:55 |
| eseven73 | Son_of_Demetrius: :( | 06:55 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | my typing sux as usual lol | 06:55 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ok, now try a reboot again. Your changes will take effect with the next boot | 06:55 |
| |c0mmissar| | it's not opening | 06:55 |
| darren_ | i dont want to use goups if possible unless i can assign a user to multiple groups | 06:55 |
| wj32 | darren_: yes, the thing I hate most about standard linux is that security sucks | 06:55 |
| wj32 | by security i mean the theoretical stuff like ACLs | 06:55 |
| tristanmike | LawnGnome1: lost it :( | 06:55 |
| wj32 | of course practically windows sucks at security | 06:56 |
| biouser | tehquickness okay I won't quit yet | 06:56 |
| biouser | tehquickness but a reboot is inevitable at this point | 06:56 |
| biouser | I am going try rezound | 06:56 |
| sysdoc | |c0mmissar|, Which driver did you install? | 06:56 |
| wj32 | darren_: try using a filesystem which supports ACLs like XFS or JFS | 06:56 |
| biouser | and ecawave perhaps and see if I can get anything | 06:56 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | lost...that's my handle...copyright infringement here :) | 06:56 |
| tehquickness | biouser: maybe try Jokosher Audio Editor | 06:56 |
| LawnGnome1 | tristanmike: reset it and make a backup/? | 06:56 |
| ebaby | nickrud: resume normal boot from Recovery Menu or do an actual 'physical power button shutdown and restart? | 06:56 |
| |c0mmissar| | the latest linux driver on Nvidia's website | 06:56 |
| darren_ | wj32: could you expand on that please (also i dont htink it sucks) | 06:57 |
| nickrud | ebaby, physical button shutdown and restart. | 06:57 |
| tristanmike | LawnGnome1: got it now... but it crackles very slightly | 06:57 |
| MenZa | |c0mmissar|: Why don't you use the repository-one? | 06:57 |
| sysdoc | |c0mmissar|, yea, what MenZa said lol | 06:57 |
| |c0mmissar| | like apt-get it? | 06:57 |
| wj32 | darren_: you don't think just having the simplistic model of user, group, and world sucks? well, some filesystems support ACLs, if that's what you're looking for | 06:57 |

| ^Manu | there's something wrong with the kubuntu 8.10 iso :/ | 06:58 |
| darren_ | wj32: just makes it difficult haha. yes thats what i want to do | 06:58 |
| MenZa | ^Manu: What makes you say that? | 06:58 |
| ^Manu | i downloaded it, burned a disc, and it wont boot.. | 06:58 |
| ^Manu | 8.04 and 9.04 iso's both work fine.. | 06:58 |
| ^Manu | but i had deleted the 8.10 iso since the disc i made (assuming the disc was stuffed) | 06:59 |
| Demios` | my life is complete | 06:59 |
| MenZa | ^Manu: Have you checked the md5sums of the downloaded iso and the burnt disk? | 06:59 |
| tristanmike | LawnGnome1: well, I'm gonna tackle that another day, again, thanks for the help. There's good karma for you ;) | 06:59 |
| wj32 | darren_: what filesystem do you use? | 06:59 |
| ^Manu | so i just downloaded a new 8.10 iso.. | 06:59 |
| Demios` | it's like i'm really back in high school | 06:59 |
| ^Manu | and burned it to a new disc.. | 06:59 |
| LawnGnome1 | ^Manu: I did the web installer thing, worked great | 06:59 |
| wj32 | darren_: or to make it more specific, what filesystem is the file/folder you want to control on | 06:59 |
| ^Manu | and it's broken in exactly the same way.. | 06:59 |
| darren_ | wj32: ok i dont know what im using, i just installed ubuntu haha | 06:59 |
| eseven73 | ^Manu: whats in 8.10 so much that you cant do without? | 06:59 |
| ^Manu | the intel gfx driver. | 07:00 |
| ^Manu | i can try 9.04A2 | 07:00 |
| Letter_Z | Every time I try to open an admin tool(Login, Synaptic Package Manger etc) it will just say its opening for a few seconds, then it wont open. Whats wrong with it? | 07:00 |
| MenZa | ^Manu: 9.04 is not yet ready for production systems. | 07:00 |
| ^Manu | would people seriously recommend against that? | 07:00 |
| Demios` | http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/Flowen/EvWorks.png | 07:00 |
| wj32 | darren_: ok then i'm assuming you're using ext3. that does have support for ACLs i think. you'll have to use command line tools to set ACLs though | 07:00 |
| ^Manu | how broken is it? | 07:00 |
| Letter_Z | (8.04 by the way) | 07:00 |
| MenZa | ^Manu: Quite broken. | 07:00 |
| ^Manu | hmm. | 07:00 |
| nickrud | ^Manu, best advice about 9.04 is in #ubuntu+1 | 07:00 |
| MenZa | ^Manu: What speed are you burning the CD at? | 07:00 |
| ^Manu | well its weird.. must be a problem with my hardware or dvd drive or something, but the 8.10 iso produces disc's that wont boot. | 07:00 |
| ^Manu | 8.04 is fine, 9.04 is fine.. | 07:01 |
| darren_ | wj32: ok ill look into that on good old google thanks | 07:01 |
| wj32 | darren_: try getfattr and setfattr | 07:01 |
| ^Manu | it boots to the 'try live cd' 'install kubuntu' menu.. | 07:01 |
| ebaby | nickrud: rats! its the same grey matter Man this is some serious frustration no wonder some Linux heads get paid so much paper... LOL any suggestions as the [in]famous "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode window has popped up - as usual | 07:01 |
| eseven73 | ^Manu: try burning it slower if you havent already been down that road. | 07:01 |
| ^Manu | if i do anything, it tries to read, and fails.. | 07:01 |
| nickrud | ebaby, what video card do you have? | 07:01 |
| ^Manu | yeah i have, and like i say, the other iso's work fine.. | 07:01 |
| darren_ | wj32: my package manager shows i have acl installed | 07:01 |
| ^Manu | and i've tried downloading kubuntu 8.10 twice, from 2 different palces. | 07:02 |
| wj32 | darren_: you need the "attr" package | 07:02 |
| ^Manu | i'm surprised. | 07:02 |

| danyaelx | yes | 07:08 |
| ^Manu | i'm gonna install 9.04 | 07:08 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | Is it because it's Windows based? | 07:09 |
| danyaelx | wj32 yes? | 07:09 |
| nickrud | ebaby, try what Jordan_U just suggested first | 07:09 |
| ^Manu | i've been trying to get 8.10 to boot for ages.. | 07:09 |
| Letter_Z | Rapture, no, this all started after Firefox crashed not long ago, since then Ubuntu has been having all sorts of problems. Lattyware I'm admin if that's what you're asking | 07:09 |
| ^Manu | its stuffed.. | 07:09 |
| eseven73 | Son_of_Demetrius: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' | 07:09 |

| Rapture | Letter_Z: even after a reboot, it won't open? | 07:09 |
| Jordan_U | ebaby, Try it from a normal boot though, not from recovery mode ( or at least not as root ) | 07:09 |
| dcider | Son_of_Demetrius: have you synaptic restricted? | 07:09 |
| Letter_Z | Rapture, I tried a reboot, didn't work | 07:09 |

| Rapture | Letter_Z: try opening a terminal and doing a sudo apt-get update. see if it is locked | 07:10 |
| danyaelx | wj32: chown tty* root:tty or chown -hR tty* -hR? | 07:10 |
| Flannel | nonix4: You don't want to use it. People upload stuff there, and it may be unstable, may not have all of its depends available, etc. | 07:10 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | eseven...you make perfect sense...but I'm not online at the moment with Ubuntu up and running...so how can I transfer files...I'm a little confused as to what to do | 07:10 |

| ebaby | Jordan_U:okay you guys lost me theres a lot of type flying around what should I try | 07:10 |
| wj32 | danyaelx: its just chown root:tty tty* | 07:10 |
| danyaelx | ok | 07:10 |
| Letter_Z | Sudo is still working fine, it has been the entire time I've had this problem | 07:11 |
| nonix4 | Flannel: well, looks like stable got some updates w/ kernel parts for it still being only -proposed :/ | 07:11 |
| eseven73 | Son_of_Demetrius: also Medibuntu is not a rar file, on its website it shows you that you need to edit your sources.list a bit, and after you do that it becomes 'apart' of your repos just with a load more codecs and other goodies :) | 07:11 |
| geeksauce | i'm having trouble getting my display to work in widescreen mode. any advice? | 07:11 |
| Rapture | Letter_Z: right, but is apt-get working? | 07:11 |
| nickrud | ebaby, clt-alt-f2 , log in, run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , then run startx | 07:11 |
| marvy | hi guys | 07:11 |

| Letter_Z | Rapture, yes | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | ebaby, Are you booted normally right now or in recovery mode? | 07:11 |
| illmortal | Does anyone know why after formatting my HD it shows that 7gb is used on the formatted HD? | 07:11 |
| Rapture | odd | 07:11 |
| ebaby | Jordan_U: I'm at the recovery Menu right now | 07:11 |
| Letter_Z | Rapture, its not just Synaptic, I can't access any admin tools. | 07:11 |
| eseven73 | Son_of_Demetrius: i believe wj32 recommended AptOnCD remember? | 07:11 |
| wj32 | danyaelx: and after that, chown root:root tty0 tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 tty7 tty8 tty9 | 07:12 |
| eseven73 | we had this convo yesterday | 07:12 |
| Rapture | pgrep synaptic? | 07:12 |
| Letter_Z | And I can only access a few preferance tools | 07:12 |
| eseven73 | or day before was it? | 07:12 |

| wj32 | danyaelx: this is all just in case... | 07:12 |
| eseven73 | dont give up :) | 07:12 |
| Jordan_U | ebaby, OK, choose to continue booting normally and when X fails to start correctly go to a console with ctrl+alt+f7 | 07:12 |
| ^Manu | well i put it down to the hardware doesn't like the kubuntu 8.10 disc, or my dvd burner doesn't like the iso.. | 07:12 |
| Letter_Z | Rapture, what? | 07:12 |
| Jordan_U | ebaby, Make that ctrl+alt+f1 :) | 07:12 |
| ^Manu | either way, there's definitely something slightly wrong with the 8.10 iso.. | 07:13 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | I won't...I'm a stubborn old fool | 07:13 |
| ^Manu | all the others work perfectlyt. | 07:13 |

| rodolfo | Hi! I'm trying to run a .rmvb media file. It seems Totem does not have the appropiate codec to do it. Searching for this codec through Totem's codec finder has not worked out, because there is no codec for this file type on the repos. Whato do I do? Should I look for the win32codec? | 07:13 |
| Roey | hi all | 07:14 |
| Rapture | hai | 07:14 |
| Roey | my webcam says it supports 1600x1200 and 30fps; I chose more conservative settings but luvcview says it can't get those: Frame size: 960x720 (requested size 1024x768 is not supported by device). What's going on?? | 07:14 |

| LawnGnome1 | eseven73: Nice to see you again, and thank you for all the detailed and concise help. | 07:17 |
| rodolfo | eseven73, it wouldnt hurt dude just ASKED YOU | 07:18 |

| eseven73 | Son_of_Demetrius: 'away from keyboard' | 07:18 |
| Rapture | when I plug in my USB HD into my Ubuntu-Server box and do a mount /dev/sdb /media/WD250, it complains the directory doesn't exist... isn't mount supposed to create/demolish directories for me? | 07:18 |
| Takyoji | I'll be repartitioning my secondary harddrive. Would ext3 or ext4 be more reasonable? Or would something else fit best? | 07:19 |
| eseven73 | LawnGnome1: heh np | 07:19 |
| shri | how to increase the time in the dual boot. i want to give the user some more time to choose between windows and linux and i want default windows | 07:19 |
| ebaby | if I press okay the dialog box comes up with three choices: Run ubuntu in low graphics mode..., or Reconfigure graphics, or troubleshoot the error | 07:19 |

| _MattB | I'm trying to mount a 7TB NTFS partition for read/write in Interpid, is this even possible? | 07:19 |
| Rapture | 7TB!?! didn't know they made drives that big... | 07:20 |
| eseven73 | rodolfo: yeah, no what i meant by that is it would be ok to install medibuntu, it wouldnt ruin anything :) | 07:20 |
| shavin | Guys i am using ubuntu on pen drive. I tried punjabi language on bootup and now even if i choose english at boot up the language still remains punjabi. How do i revert back to english? | 07:20 |
| === pc01 is now known as imoet_cutezzz | ||
| ebaby | Jordan_U: all three will only start a repetitious back and forth of dialog windows | 07:20 |
| _MattB | Rapture, it's part of a software raid array | 07:20 |
| Rapture | ah | 07:20 |
| Rapture | i'm jealous | 07:20 |
| eseven73 | rodolfo: please let me know if it works | 07:20 |
| _MattB | basically, it was setup as an ISCSI SAN device, but now I want to convert it to a NAS type device | 07:20 |
| kaneda_ | _MattB; if the partitions are visible in ubuntu, then answer should be yes (for read) | 07:20 |
| kaneda_ | not sure about write | 07:21 |
| Rapture | _MattB: look into ntfs-config (allows read/write of NTFS) | 07:21 |
| rodolfo | eseven73, yeah OK. sorry...I'm pissed...Update Manager has come with too many unnecessary packages and I have to download a ton of useless video drivers, mixed up with useful stuff...it's a mess this Ubuntu installation >.< | 07:22 |
| faileas | shri: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst make sure the xp partition is first in the list and set the value for timeout as needed | 07:22 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: This might assist you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 07:22 |
| eseven73 | You're frustrated, its cool rodolfo I understand all too well trust me | 07:22 |
| LawnGnome1 | How can I get the firewall to work on a non sudo account? I typed the admin pass thing and all,,, | 07:22 |
| _MattB | Takyoji, thx | 07:23 |
| Rapture | Does Ubuntu-Server support auto-mounting of USB hard drives? | 07:23 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: Otherwise if it doesn't provide write privileges, you can unmount it, then remount it with "-o rw" to the end of the command. | 07:23 |
| Son_of_Demetrius | What does 'Can't Mount CDRom mean? Yesterday, I had to manually shut down becuse I couldn't eject my cd | 07:24 |
| eseven73 | rodolfo: im kinda a minimalistic person myself, i dont like to have to install a million libs just to get something working, especially since im very very low on Harddrive space :/ | 07:24 |
| ebaby | nickrud: you mentioned " clt-alt-f2 , log in, run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , then run startx" can you elaborate | 07:24 |
| Takyoji | I actually deal with an NTFS partition myself regularly, which wasn't writable each time I'd boot, thus I'd keep remounting it with write privileges (until I found out about /etc/fstab, which is for automatically mounting file systems) | 07:24 |
| nickrud | ebaby, ctl-alt-f2 takes you to a console, the stop shuts down the currently running gui, and startx starts it a different way | 07:25 |
| _MattB | i'm still trying to figure out what the partition is, fdisk doesn't work with GPT.. and parted I can't seem to figure out the name of the device | 07:25 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: Install GParted, and see if you can find the partition. | 07:26 |
| ufk_ | hi. i created an svn repository. i do svn checkout http://127.0.0.1/repos and i get the message "checked out revision 0" but it does not create the directory .svn and allows me to add more files to it. any ideas>/ | 07:26 |

| risco | anybody know, how to hard reset? | 07:27 |

| wj32 | Sa[i]nT: screenlets? | 07:27 |
| dcider | i auto mount a second hd, is there a way to get rid of the desktop icon? | 07:27 |
| _MattB | Takyoji, this is server | 07:27 |
| rodolfo | eseven73, me too. I guess there could be a better package management over these files. There ARE distros like Debian and Conectiva that has an intelligent Update Manager that tells the user what really should be downloaded. On Ubuntu, we still have to do this process manually...I mean, why UM doesn't talk to Hardware Test, collect the machine hardware data and downloads what really matter to me? | 07:27 |
| LawnGnome1 | Sa[i]nt: Like RocketDock thingy? | 07:27 |
| _MattB | the "root" of the device is /dev/mdq | 07:27 |

| hole_ | shepherd: they r cheap | 07:28 |
| _MattB | but if i do ls /dev/md* it only shows md1 | 07:28 |
| shepherd | so there is no way to fix it? | 07:28 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: Can't you just do: "mount /dev/md1 /media/name-of-your-choice-of-a-folder-that-exists -o rw"? | 07:29 |
| rodolfo | eseven73, for example I have a intel nobo. This means it has intel video driver. So why the heck I have to DL ATi/nVIDIA drivers through UM? | 07:29 |
| hole_ | i wouldn't even try | 07:29 |
| GreedyB | Does anyone know the command to get a list of directorys and then output them to a file? I want to list all of my music.. I forget how to do it | 07:29 |
| _MattB | Takyoji, unfortunaltely not, that would be like saying mount /dev/sda (instead of sda1) | 07:29 |
| shepherd | the thing is i have a lot of interfearance with a normal plug in the hole headphones/mic. that is why i use a usb | 07:29 |
| hole_ | shepherd: got 5 bux? | 07:29 |
| ebaby | nickrud: I'm not opposed to re-installing or install via USB if you think that will make a difference | 07:29 |
| _MattB | md1 is the raid virtual device that contains partition(s) | 07:29 |
| shepherd | look guy, i have a normal headset, i want to get my usb on to work. is there a way? | 07:30 |
| nickrud | ebaby, I really don't know. I just know that I've seen lots of people having problems with the chrome chips | 07:30 |
| hole_ | yo no sane | 07:30 |
| hole_ | lo siento | 07:30 |
| nickrud | ebaby, well, not lots because there aren't that many of them :) | 07:30 |
| ebaby | Nickrud: not saying of course that you need to walk me through Just wondering if there is something to be input during the install as the gui is all there during install, internet connectivity, etc | 07:31 |
| hole_ | was i kicked? | 07:31 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: One moment, I'm relaying the question to someone else | 07:31 |
| nickrud | ebaby, no, the video is supposed to be totally automated | 07:31 |
| ashvala | hole: you may be if you over react :) | 07:31 |

| rodolfo | eseven73, getting back to our previous conversation, by installing w32codecs get totem to read .rmvb files correctly. I followed the instructions from this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 07:41 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: Actually, try just "df" | 07:41 |
| roccity | shepherd: go to the media dir as root make a dir called Disk | 07:41 |
| caleb_ | to find the location | 07:41 |
| nonix4 | does aptitude do removals before installations or the other way? (could be low on disk space on /boot atm) | 07:42 |
| roccity | after that type mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd* /media/Disk | 07:42 |
| caleb_ | but i dont know which one is my dc drive | 07:42 |
| roccity | shepherd: where /dev/sd* is your disk | 07:42 |
| _MattB | df alone doesn't list anything that has to do with the raid volume | 07:42 |
| Rapture | how do i auto-mount my USB hard drive automatically and always to the same directory? | 07:42 |
| rodolfo | eseven73, and it worked out for me. I didn't try it with .mp4 files though but I'm already downloading it when I'm done I'll get back to you and tell you if it worked out or not. | 07:42 |
| roccity | shepherd: maybe /dev/sdc1 | 07:42 |
| roccity | shepherd: that should work | 07:43 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: I'm out of ideas then | 07:43 |
| rww | caleb_: maybe /dev/scd0? That's what mine is./ | 07:43 |
| caleb_ | i dont have one | 07:44 |
| caleb_ | nothing even says cd in it | 07:44 |
| caleb_ | i have a disk though | 07:44 |
| caleb_ | and hda 0-4 | 07:44 |
| caleb_ | and alot of others | 07:44 |
| _MattB | Takyoji, i think i may have to just go with ext3 and backup/restore everything | 07:44 |
| _MattB | probably better in the long run anyway | 07:44 |
| roccity | shepherd: be right back union break :) | 07:44 |
| _MattB | thanks for trying though | 07:45 |
| rww | caleb_: wait. Which install disc are you talking about? The Ubuntu one>? | 07:45 |
| caleb_ | also adb and fb0 | 07:45 |
| caleb_ | yes but the alterate CD | 07:45 |
| Takyoji | _MattB: Yea, that would be most advisable otherwise. I'm actually changing a NTFS partition to EXT3 tonight. | 07:45 |
| Rapture | how do i get the UUID if a drive in the terminal? | 07:45 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| caleb_ | its the powerpc alternate install disc | 07:45 |
| rww | !uuid | Rapture | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Rapture: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 07:45 |
| Rapture | ah, thanx | 07:45 |
| Rapture | knew i was close... blkuuid... oops :D | 07:46 |
| rww | caleb_: ah. I don't know too much about PPC. Maybe ask in #ubuntu-powerpc? | 07:46 |
| caleb_ | noones there | 07:46 |
| caleb_ | i dont think its specific | 07:46 |
| caleb_ | i just need to know which is my cd drive | 07:46 |
| Takyoji | caleb_: Are you sure you have a PowerPC processor and not i386 nor i686 which is most common? | 07:46 |
| centr0 | how dod i find out if a loopback interface exists? ifconfig? | 07:47 |
| caleb_ | yes its the macmini | 07:47 |
| rww | centr0: yup | 07:47 |
| caleb_ | the old one | 07:47 |
| caleb_ | 1.5GHz powerPC | 07:47 |
| Mayank | firefox closes itself | 07:47 |
| luddite | the ubuntu 8.10 iso you download needs a update of about 213MB. is there a way to get this all in one ISO? so you dont have to do a synaptic update? | 07:47 |
| rww | centr0: if you have loopback set up right, you'll have an entry for "lo" | 07:47 |
| ^Manu | okay, how do i a get the intel driver and compile it from source? | 07:47 |
| ^Manu | thats my only option left.. | 07:47 |
| LawnGnome1 | centr0: Yes ipconfig , just look in Network Settings and it will show you | 07:48 |
| Mayank | firefox closes itself | 07:48 |
| ^Manu | i'm running 8.04, with 9.04's kernel, and i need 8.10's video driver, but i can't install 8.10 :( | 07:48 |
| ^Manu | its a mess.. | 07:48 |
| ^Manu | i can install the latest intel driver from source yeah? | 07:48 |
| pimpaware | hi | 07:48 |
| roccity | luddite: if you have a updated 8.10 you can try aptoncd | 07:48 |
| ^Manu | in 8.04? | 07:48 |
| centr0 | rww: all i see is eth0 hmm.. checking /etc/network/interfaces now | 07:48 |
| caleb_ | so noone knows what my cdrom drive is? | 07:48 |
| luddite | aptoncd. thanks roccity | 07:48 |
| Mayank | when i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 07:48 |
| pimpaware | can anyopne help me how to install video card drivers? | 07:49 |
| roccity | caleb_: /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom0 | 07:49 |
| caleb_ | dont have it | 07:49 |
| rww | centr0: Here's my interfaces file, if it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99465/ | 07:49 |
| Rapture | so, I added: 'UUID=E444-68C7 /media/WD250 vfat relatime 0 2' to my /etc/fstab file... now how do i refresh it? | 07:49 |
| roccity | caleb_: what is in your /dev dir? | 07:49 |
| caleb_ | alot | 07:49 |
| nonix4 | pimpaware: manufacturer & ubuntu version? | 07:49 |
| roccity | caleb_: or better yet /media | 07:49 |
| Rapture | !fstab | 07:49 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 07:49 |
| caleb_ | probably over 100 | 07:50 |
| caleb_ | ok ill try ls /media | 07:50 |
| rww | Rapture: mount /media/WD250 | 07:50 |
| roccity | caleb_: are you trying to mount a cd | 07:50 |
| Mayank | rww, hen i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 07:50 |
| hole_ | how can one using ubuntu obtain their routers ip | 07:50 |
| caleb_ | the install CD says it cant find my cdrom | 07:50 |
| caleb_ | so i have to manually find the name | 07:50 |
| roccity | hole_: ifconfig | 07:50 |
| centr0 | thanks rww: i have those same lines but when i /etc/init.d/network restart everything checks out. but ifconfig doesnt show 'lo' | 07:50 |
| caleb_ | brb i have to use this keyboard to type | 07:50 |
| roccity | caleb_: what does it say in /media | 07:51 |
| centr0 | networking* | 07:51 |
| ^Manu | i can install the latest intel driver from source in 8.04 right? | 07:51 |
| ^Manu | how do i go abou tthat? | 07:51 |
| Rapture | rww: thanx! | 07:51 |
| hole_ | i'm there now | 07:51 |
| LuSiD | anyone have any experience with changing the avatars and applications on wbar? | 07:51 |
| roccity | hole_: look for where it says default gateway | 07:51 |
| rww | centr0: What happens if you run "ifconfig lo"? | 07:51 |
| roccity | hole_: that should be your router | 07:51 |
| Rapture | how would i make /media/WD250 accessible on my Windows network (global share)? | 07:52 |
| caleb_ | it says so such file or directory | 07:52 |
| caleb_ | for ls /media | 07:52 |
| caleb_ | and ls/volumes | 07:52 |
| roccity | caleb_: you don't have a /meida dir? | 07:52 |
| centr0 | rww: ah i see it there now. just entering 'ifconfig' wont show all interfaces? | 07:52 |
| caleb_ | aperently not | 07:52 |
| caleb_ | im in terminal | 07:53 |
| roccity | caleb_: what gnu/linux version are you using? | 07:53 |
| Mayank | when i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 07:53 |
| caleb_ | its the 8.10 install disc | 07:53 |
| rww | centr0: it should do, and is weird that it doesn't for you (it does for me), but since you didn't get an error, it looks like your loopback is up and working and ifconfig was just not showing it for some reason :) | 07:53 |
| roccity | caleb_: ok in terminal type cd /media | 07:53 |
| faileas | Rapture: you would need to set up samba and add it as a share | 07:53 |
| roccity | caleb_: then ls | 07:53 |
| caleb_ | k | 07:53 |
| Rapture | faileas: ok, i installed samba, and swat, but every forum/site i've been to gets right into doing PDC and user accounts.. i don't need all that | 07:54 |
| caleb_ | it says it cant cd to media | 07:54 |
| caleb_ | or volumes | 07:54 |
| Rapture | faileas: also, i can't seem to remotely manage samba via swat... i can't figure out where the swat.conf file ran off to | 07:54 |
| faileas | Rapture: PDC, no, whatever that is. my setup just uses user accounts | 07:54 |
| roccity | caleb_: hold on ill be back in a sec | 07:54 |
| caleb_ | ok | 07:54 |
| centr0 | rww: thanks.. now to try to get mysqld to connect to localhost.. ughhhhh | 07:55 |
| Rapture | faileas: PDC = Primary Domain Controller | 07:55 |
| * centr0 bangs his head in frustration. | 07:55 | |
| caleb_ | you think your frustrated | 07:55 |
| caleb_ | ha | 07:55 |
| faileas | Rapture: yup, never needed one | 07:55 |
| faileas | caleb_: .. ITS CLIPPY, RUN! | 07:55 |
| rww | centr0: actually. hmm. what output does "sudo ifup lo" give you? | 07:55 |
| Rapture | caleb_: you are using the LiveCD? | 07:55 |
| faileas | Rapture: my setup needs user accounts, and thats about it | 07:55 |
| caleb_ | no its alternate | 07:56 |
| Rapture | faileas: is there a simple method of having a public share? | 07:56 |
| centr0 | rww: the first time i did that cmd nothing echoed out. then 2nd time it says interface lo is already configured. | 07:57 |
| Rapture | caleb_: try cd /dev (enter) ls | grep cd | 07:57 |
| faileas | Rapture: well, i haven't worked out how to get a windows xp style public share- mine allows anyone with an account on a box to access a common share though | 07:57 |
| Rapture | kk | 07:57 |
| caleb_ | i have raptue | 07:57 |
| centr0 | rww: now ifconfig shows botth eth0 and lo! | 07:57 |
| rww | centr0: huh. Does "ifconfig" (just by itself) output lo information now? | 07:57 |
| Rapture | i had it working on FreeNAS | 07:57 |
| caleb_ | i get a loooong list | 07:57 |
| rww | centr0: okay. So it looks like lo actually wasn't being activated properly. | 07:57 |
| Rapture | caleb_: 'ls | grep cd' returns a long list? | 07:57 |
| KTL | what is the exact difference between a ubuntu and a debian install? | 07:57 |
| rww | !debian | KTL | 07:58 |
| ubottu | KTL: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 07:58 |
| faileas | Rapture: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend let me know if you work out how to make a share without an account ;) | 07:58 |
| centr0 | rww: any tips on how to activate it properly at reboot? | 07:58 |
| caleb_ | i havent done that one | 07:58 |
| Rapture | kk | 07:58 |
| rww | centr0: You're sure that our /etc/network/interfaces files are the same? | 07:58 |
| Rapture | faileas: thanx | 07:58 |
| faileas | KTL: ubuntu periodically takes a sid snapshot, and polishes it up ;) | 07:58 |
| faileas | in theory | 07:58 |
| centr0 | rww: let me pastebin my interfaces file one sec. | 07:58 |
| rww | centr0: k | 07:58 |
| KTL | if i install a ubuntu, change the sources.list and upgrade heavily ... what remains of ubuntu? | 07:58 |
| Flannel | KTL: Change the sources.list to what? | 07:59 |
| rww | KTL: change the sources.list to what? debian? what would remain would probably be very broken | 07:59 |
| KTL | debian repositories | 07:59 |
| caleb_ | i get cdrom | 07:59 |
| caleb_ | when i type 'ls | grep cd' | 07:59 |
| Flannel | KTL: If you replace every single package, then nothing. | 07:59 |
| KTL | why would it be broken? | 07:59 |
| rww | KTL: although some crazy people could probably get it to work. I've seen crazier... why would you want to do that, though? | 07:59 |
| centr0 | rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99468/ | 07:59 |
| Lat1n0S | how know where i may download Sega Emulator(e.g. "Gens") in binary file for ubuntu(i don't have permission to compile on machine...)? :) | 07:59 |
| Flannel | KTL: Because the upgrade won't really work. You'd have to do a lot of manual stuffs to get it to be happy. | 08:00 |
| KTL | i dont have a debian install cd :) | 08:00 |
| Rapture | caleb_: do this, mkdir /media/cdrom | 08:00 |
| Lat1n0S | bla | 08:00 |
| caleb_ | k | 08:00 |
| Rapture | caleb_: and mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom | 08:00 |
| caleb_ | k | 08:00 |

| illmortal | can someone assist me in tryin to figure out why this formatted HD has 7.8GB of space used?... | 08:00 |
| Mayank | when i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 08:00 |
| roccity | Rapture: he said he didn't have a /media dir on 8.10 | 08:01 |
| Rapture | he will ;) | 08:01 |
| roccity | Rapture: is that cause he is using ppc | 08:01 |
| Rapture | oh.. | 08:01 |
| roccity | Rapture: I think he said he was using ppc | 08:01 |
| rww | centr0: huh. That looks fine o.O | 08:01 |
| aiuw | Mayank, uh, you type 'firefox' and it closes? | 08:01 |
| Rapture | erm.. oops :D | 08:01 |
| Flannel | illmortal: How big is the harddrive, and how much freespace is it showing? | 08:01 |
| Mayank | aiuw, no its run sometime then closes itself | 08:01 |
| caleb_ | it didnt work | 08:01 |
| Rapture | error? | 08:02 |
| caleb_ | but i did mkdir /media | 08:02 |
| caleb_ | ttthen mkdir /media/cdrom | 08:02 |
| Rapture | ah, ok.. | 08:02 |
| caleb_ | now what | 08:02 |
| Rapture | how about mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom? | 08:02 |
| caleb_ | oops forgot | 08:02 |
| caleb_ | brb | 08:02 |
| centr0 | rww: i took out a iptables line to test it. so i guess my iptables line was screwed. gonna try to reboot server right now and see if mysqld starts. that was the problem though. there was no lo interface for mysqld to connect to. couldnt ping localhost either. now everything is up and running! | 08:02 |
| rww | centr0: /etc/init.d/networking calls ifup -a, which should configure all interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces with an "auto lo" (for example) line... | 08:02 |
| rww | centr0: yeah, try rebooting and see if lo comes up. Good luck :) | 08:03 |
| illmortal | Flannel it's a 500GB SATA HD and it showing 458 free space | 08:03 |
| rww | illmortal: A certain amount of space is used for filesystem information | 08:03 |
| centr0 | rww: ty! | 08:03 |
| centr0 | will know in about 20 secs. | 08:04 |
| Mayank | when i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 08:04 |
| illmortal | ok ok lets say that 7gb of data is on there for filesystem information, how do we wipe that off the hard drive? | 08:04 |
| caleb_ | i ran "mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom" | 08:04 |
| illmortal | this hard drive is for storage purposes only. | 08:04 |
| caleb_ | and it said no such file or directory | 08:04 |
| Rapture | .. | 08:05 |
| Rapture | caleb_: but 'ls /dev | grep cd' returned cdrom? | 08:05 |
| caleb_ | am i like screwed? | 08:05 |
| caleb_ | yes | 08:05 |
| LawnGnome1 | illmortal: Tried DBAN? | 08:05 |
| Rapture | your s&^@ be broke! | 08:05 |
| illmortal | dban?.... never heard of it. | 08:05 |
| Flannel | Rapture: Please watch your language | 08:06 |
| centr0 | rww: works like a charm. been at this mysqld problem for 2 hrs. solved in 5 mins. ugh. thanks!!! | 08:06 |
| bullgard4 | How can I make Gedit to remember and show its last used 10 files instead of 5? | 08:06 |
| Mayank | when i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 08:06 |
| rww | centr0: You're welcome! Glad I could help! | 08:06 |
| benjamin_ | anyone know how to make this: md5sum `find . -type f | awk '/.\// { print substr($0, 3) }'` >DEBIAN/md5sums like filenames with spaces in them? | 08:06 |
| Rapture | Flannel: sorry, was attempting humor | 08:06 |
| centr0 | gonna check the iptables after a cigarette. | 08:06 |
| LawnGnome1 | illmortal: DBAN is Daricks Boot And Nuke utility, CAREFULL, it will erase all files from a mounted drive | 08:06 |
| Flannel | illmortal: Try shred instead. | 08:07 |
| illmortal | shred? | 08:07 |
| illmortal | is this in the repos? | 08:07 |
| LawnGnome1 | Shredder works great also | 08:07 |
| Flannel | illmortal: Its already installed | 08:07 |
| jp_sf | <illmortal> sudo apt-get install kdirstat | 08:07 |
| Flannel | illmortal: man shred, you aren't worried about secure delete, so you can just zero on your first pass. | 08:07 |
| caleb_ | idk what is wrong with my ubuntu | 08:07 |
| illmortal | O.o i don't see shredder in my menu | 08:07 |
| Mayank | tell me guys.......... | 08:08 |
| Mayank | tell me guys.......... | 08:08 |
| Mayank | tell me guys.......... | 08:08 |
| Flannel | illmortal: shred -z -n 0 /path/to/drive (that'd be like /dev/sdc or whatever) -- with sudo | 08:08 |
| FloodBot1 | Mayank: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:08 |
| rww | illmortal: !helpme | Mayank | 08:08 |
| Flannel | illmortal: but please, beforehand read through man shred. There are some things you ought to know about,etc (although less relevant when not worried about security) | 08:08 |
| rww | illmortal: sorry, was going to say something to you and forgot about it, then tried saying something to someone else. Ignore that. | 08:08 |
| Mayank | rww, when i run firefox from terminal, firefox closes itself anytime and terminal says segmentation fault | 08:08 |
| rww | !helpme | Mayank | 08:08 |
| ubottu | Mayank: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 08:08 |
| illmortal | lol | 08:09 |
| LawnGnome1 | http://www.heidi.ie/node/6 That is shredder, there are free versions | 08:09 |
| benjamin_ | anyone know how to make this: md5sum `find . -type f | awk '/.\// { print substr($0, 3) }'` >DEBIAN/md5sums like filenames with spaces in them? | 08:09 |
| illmortal | well i shouldn't have any problems if all i have to do is run shredder on one hard drive right? it's not like I have to choose any partitions since it's just one partition | 08:10 |
| illmortal | on one hard drive* | 08:10 |
| LawnGnome1 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/ That is DBAN | 08:10 |
| rww | illmortal: let's back up a second here. Your problem is that you just fomatted a 500GB drive, but it's showing only ~450GB free, right? | 08:11 |
| Rapture | faileas: I got iT! | 08:11 |
| LawnGnome1 | illmortal: one pass from boot of DBAN and that drive is virtually unrecoverable, but can still be mounted and used later | 08:11 |
| illmortal | rww... yes. apparently there's 7gb of data on this HD and I cannot locate this data | 08:11 |
| illmortal | they could be hidden partition tables | 08:12 |
| illmortal | or hidden files for all i know. | 08:12 |
| faileas | Rapture: how? | 08:12 |
| LawnGnome1 | illmortal: That is the boot sector,,or should be' | 08:12 |
| illmortal | i need to clear that 7gb so that i can at least keep 465GB of this new SATA drive. | 08:12 |
| Rapture | one sec | 08:12 |
| Rapture | crap.. i hit ctrl+z and stopped nano.. how do i restart it? | 08:12 |
| rww | Rapture: fg | 08:12 |
| illmortal | boot sector?... if this sata hard drive is being used strictly for storage... do i need that boot sector? | 08:13 |
| LawnGnome1 | To access the drive it needs a data stream I/O,,,some kind of system files | 08:14 |
| Rapture | faileas: http://pastebin.com/m7d89cb55 | 08:14 |
| caleb_ | what is a better distro then ubuntu for linux | 08:14 |
| caleb_ | sence i cant use it | 08:14 |
| illmortal | =\ i give up then... i pretty much got screwed out of 50gb of HD space | 08:15 |
| Rapture | faileas: I threw that at the bottom of smb.conf and did a /etc/inetd.d/samba restart | 08:15 |
| stdin | caleb_: a better place to ask is #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:15 |
| rww | give me a sec to write up an explanation of this for you. | 08:15 |
| rww | illmortal ^ | 08:15 |
| illmortal | ok | 08:15 |

| jinja-sheep | I'm thinking about doing Installation Minimal CD -- What's in the packages? | 08:16 |
| jinja-sheep | !minimalcd | 08:16 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:16 |
| caleb_ | but i cant use ubuntu it wont install | 08:16 |
| Rapture | is there a way to search apt-get from terminal? | 08:16 |
| roccity | caleb_: but if you want something else maybe vector or zenwalk | 08:16 |
| kiasanth | apt-cache search KEYWORD | 08:16 |
| roccity | caleb_: they are based on slackware | 08:16 |
| caleb_ | are they powerPC compatable? | 08:16 |
| kiasanth | Rapture: apt-cache search KEYWORD | 08:17 |

| rww | illmortal: Hard drive manufacturers advertise file sizes in units that are multiples of 1000 (so 1 GB is 1000 MB, etc.). Linux shows units in multiples of 1024. So, your 500GB drive has 465GB of space available for stuff to be on. Once you actually put a partition on it and format it etc., there's already data on it that's *needed* so that your computer knows where files on the disk are located (partition table, etc.). That's where the rest of the space is goin | 08:17 |
| rww | illmortal: If you look on the packaging for your hard drive, there'll probably be a disclaimer about this. There was on the last one I bought, anyway./ | 08:18 |
| roccity | how do I purge config files for xchat-gnome | 08:18 |
| ufk_ | what do i need to enable in ccsm for the corners of the screen to show application or show desktop ? | 08:18 |
| roccity | Im gettinga x window system error | 08:18 |
| roccity | I tried purging but that doesn't seem to work | 08:19 |
| Rapture | anyone happen to know the HP printer package by chance? | 08:19 |
| roccity | and I can't find the config files | 08:19 |
| kiasanth | how can I get this command to work on files with spaces in them?: md5sum `find . -type f | awk '/.\// { print substr($0, 3) }'` >DEBIAN/md5sums | 08:19 |
| rww | Rapture: apt-cache or sudo aptitude (and navigate aptitude's menus) to search. hpijs might be the package name for HP printing; it's been a while since I set it up. | 08:20 |
| rww | roccity: xchat-gnome stores its configuration in gconf, I think, so open up gconf-editor and look for it there. | 08:21 |
| illmortal | i understand rww...... but 7gb for a partition table? that's nuts. | 08:21 |
| kiasanth | I'm trying to make an MD5 file for my deb file so I can ensure my users that it's actually from me | 08:21 |
| Rapture | rww: wow, neato... didn't know there was a text-based "gui" for apt | 08:21 |
| LawnGnome1 | caleb_: Ubuntu 8.04 is power pc ready | 08:21 |
| rww | Rapture: I <3 aptitude | 08:21 |
| caleb_ | k | 08:22 |
| kiasanth | you can get 8.04 for PPC??? | 08:22 |
| illmortal | ya i use 8.04 on my PS3 | 08:22 |
| rww | illmortal: Yeah, you could say that. I'm not sure if it'll help (I don't really have a problem with full disks), but ext2 doesn't use journalling, so it *might* use somewhat less space. | 08:22 |
| LawnGnome1 | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ PPC | 08:22 |
| jp_sf | kiasanth: ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-powerpc.iso | 08:22 |
| kiasanth | LawnGnome1: THANKS | 08:22 |
| illmortal | lol so you're sayin if I used ext3 on it it would be even more than 7gb of used space just for the partition table? o.O;;; | 08:23 |
| LawnGnome1 | My pleasure | 08:23 |
| mati | what is the best way to share files from ubuntu to windows ? | 08:23 |
| illmortal | rww ^ | 08:23 |
| rww | illmortal: oh, you're using ext2 already? hmm | 08:23 |
| mati | samba ypserv ? | 08:23 |
| jim_p | is there a button i can add to metacity in order to "shade" the window like xfwm and kwin does? if so, how? | 08:23 |
| illmortal | rww... before the format, i had 50gb used for ubuntu 8.10 with ext3 file system and the rest was for storage. then I decided to use another 100gb hd for ubuntu and format the 500 HD so I could use it for storage use only. | 08:24 |
| jp_sf | mati: best may vary but you could try Samba | 08:24 |
| jp_sf | mati: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=setup+samba+windows+network | 08:25 |
| kiasanth | jim_p:I'm pretty sure metacity only uses close minimise and maximise, though I could be wrong | 08:25 |
| mati | which one is most common? | 08:25 |
| illmortal | so basically... I have grub and ext3 journaling system on this 500gb HD that's taking up 7gb of data. | 08:25 |
| rww | illmortal: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-932875.html says to consider using reiserfs. I haven't used it much, so I wouldn't be able to help you much with it, but if you need the space, you might wanna look into it. | 08:25 |
| Rapture | do I need to "mount" a USB printer when I plug it in? (i don't have a GUI) | 08:26 |
| mati | jp_sf: thanks...is samba still good way..I did it while ago with samba and need to do same now | 08:26 |
| geeksauce | i'm having trouble getting flash audio to work in firefox. any suggestions? | 08:26 |
| jim_p | kiasanth, well there are "images" for the shade function in some themes. plus you can change the double click behavior to shade from maximise through gconf-editor. so there has to be a button and a way to put it there! | 08:26 |
| Rapture | mati: i just got done setting up samba for my USB HD... need some help? | 08:26 |
| illmortal | ok my next question is, rww... is how do I mount this storage HD so that it's seen as an actual HD and not just a folder? | 08:26 |
| jp_sf | mati: Samba works very well, you might want to look at an FTP solution as well, or a nfs solution | 08:27 |
| rww | illmortal: but this is going to be a problem to various degrees with all file systems. They need to put their information *somewhere* | 08:27 |
| jim_p | illmortal, through fstab, but it is not advisable because its a removable disk | 08:27 |
| illmortal | ya i've accepted the fact that i'm simply screwed out of 7gb lol. | 08:27 |
| mati | jp_sf: yeah I was reading about NFS that's why i started wondering what happened to old days samba | 08:27 |
| jp_sf | geeksauce: only flash audio or all audio ? | 08:27 |
| rww | illmortal: I'm not sure what you mean. Linux doesn't use drive letters, it uses mount points, so all partitions except the one you boot from are mounted to a mountpoint/directory. | 08:28 |
| illmortal | jim_p the hard drive isn't external | 08:28 |
| darren_ | who is familiar with using acl settings on folders? | 08:28 |
| mati | Rapture: thanks..I guess I just need to remeber the way I did it with Samba | 08:28 |
| jp_sf | mati: Samba is very active and works very well I would recommend it for a small LAN while NFS is more enterprise oriented | 08:28 |
| geeksauce | jp_sf, only flash audio | 08:28 |
| Rapture | mati: do you want it to be a public share or user account based? | 08:28 |
| jim_p | illmortal, then through fstab. give me some info about its filesystem, device and mountpoint and i will make you the line you must add | 08:28 |
| mati | Rapture: both..some folders public and user based like ftp | 08:29 |
| Rapture | ok | 08:29 |
| Rapture | !samba | 08:30 |
| ubottu | 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 | 08:30 |
| jim_p | illmortal, brb phonecall | 08:30 |
| darren_ | who is familiar with using acl settings on folders? id prefer a 1 on 1 chat with some one who has used the setfacl command | 08:30 |
| Rapture | check that out, and I can show you how to share specific directorys globally | 08:30 |
| illmortal | jim_p / rww : I used this: ill@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /storage then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /storage which then created a "folder" named storage inside of my root directory which placed a "lost&found" folder inside of it. I'd like for this HD to be shown as a hard disk, not a folder | 08:30 |
| jp_sf | geeksauce: in synaptic package manager search for flash nonfree and install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound | 08:31 |
| mynullvoid | mati: yes samba | 08:31 |
| rww | illmortal: *all* file systems are *always* mounted to directories in UNIX/Linux/Ubuntu. There is no such thing as drive letters. | 08:31 |
| mati | oki..great...that samba is still around :) | 08:31 |
| jp_sf | geeksauce: I assume you are on a 32bits proc 8.10 ... | 08:32 |
| illmortal | rww, ok what I mean is... I'd like to mount it into my "Computer" directory, that way it's next to my other hard drives ^^; | 08:32 |
| mynullvoid | jp_sf: could you take a look at http://pastebin.com/m3a823f1b and let me know any problem | 08:32 |
| Rapture | omg, i LOVE linux | 08:33 |
| geeksauce | jp_sf, that's right | 08:33 |
| mynullvoid | jp_sf: it stuck at prompt for user name and password when I entered the IP | 08:33 |
| rww | illmortal: Oh! I see what you mean now. Yeah, that'll happen if you set up an fstab entry. issue "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and put in the line that me or jim_p will tell you in a sec. ( What filesystem type did you end up using? ext2?) | 08:33 |
| illmortal | extx2 | 08:34 |
| rww | illmortal: what's the output of "blkid /dev/sda1"? | 08:34 |

| illmortal | rww: /dev/sda1: UUID="b5d9c1ec-98f7-4be8-9ed9-79bac8c5d192" TYPE="ext2" | 08:35 |

| Sifre | rww | 08:36 |
| Sifre | really? | 08:36 |
| kiasanth | jim_p: according to the metacity docs on gnome.org, shade is supported in version 2 and above with <button Function="shade"...> but it doesn't mention dow to enable it in the os as metacity themes have no control over button positions etc | 08:36 |
| Sifre | my english bad | 08:36 |
| Sifre | ok | 08:36 |
| rww | illmortal: okay. 1) This is an internal hard drive that'll be connected at startup, right? 2) Do you want the drive to be checked for errors at startup? | 08:36 |

| rww | namlem: it's not working for me either; I'll figure out why later and file a bug. In the meantime, you should be able to install it from synaptic (package name: ardour or ardour-i686), or from the terminal with "sudo apt-get install ardour" or "sudo apt-get install ardour-i686" | 08:41 |
| jp_sf | mynullvoid: I see you want to create a DC (PDC is the old NT4 depricated name) anyway assuming you have installed all the required package (samba smbclient smbfs) | 08:41 |
| rww | namlem: if you're not sure which version you need, tell me what type of CPU/processor you have and I'll try to figure it out. | 08:41 |

| roccity_ | routerl, what is it | 08:42 |
| mynullvoid | jp_sf: I tried to change the security from user to domain, both don't work as well | 08:42 |
| rww | namlem: go with ardour-i686, then | 08:42 |
| routerl | I installed 8.10 a little while ago, and am running compiz. But the window resize is incredibly laggy. | 08:43 |
| namlem | rww: thanks | 08:43 |
| routerl | It also lags everything else, not just the window being resized (e.g. a movie playing, etc) | 08:43 |
| roccity_ | routerl, do you have ccsm installed? | 08:43 |
| routerl | yes | 08:43 |
| jp_sf | mynullvoid: I will try to not setup permissions like chmod 7777 on the directory after in the smb.conf I assume you have put your windows domain and then create the comment path public set at yes writable set at yes create mask 0777 directory mask 0777 force user nobody and force group no group | 08:43 |

| jim_p | kiasanth, does "always" work? | 08:48 |
| jim_p | kiasanth, sorry, i meant "stick" | 08:49 |

| jim_p | kiasanth, i did not get a button :( nor a function there | 08:51 |

| ^Manu | amazingly, x boots and appears to work. | 08:51 |
| rww | jim_p, kiasanth: me either :( | 08:51 |
| puppetpal | Rapture, any suggestion? | 08:51 |
| * rww has been listening in | 08:52 | |
| ^Manu | however, i have no mouse or keyboard.. | 08:52 |
| routerl | roccity_: I mean, when I drag the corner of a window, the resizing does not quite follow the mouse (i.e. is very slow), and the entire screen lags. So, if a video is playing, for example, the video will lag. There is no abnormal CPU load, though. | 08:52 |
| kiasanth | it will only show up if the window border you're using has the buttons | 08:52 |
| ^Manu | can anyone suggest what packages i need to update to make keyboard and mouse work in x? | 08:52 |
| kiasanth | jim_p: it will only show up if the window border you're using has the buttons | 08:52 |
| ^Manu | what has changed in X between 8.04 and 8.10? | 08:52 |
| jim_p | kiasanth, damn :( | 08:52 |
| ^Manu | i just want to update as few things as possible to the intrepid versions... | 08:52 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Has anyone had luck with getting a Dell Dimension 4600 to Wake on Lan? Or any dell... I'm having troubles. | 08:53 |
| genii | ^Manu: Should have added the source repos of 8.10 then done apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-intel and built it | 08:53 |
| jim_p | kiasanth, btw, is that stone theme a complete crap or is it just me? | 08:53 |
| kiasanth | jim_p: it's pretty easy to add extra buttons to the theme, edit the XML file and add a button tag for Function="shade" | 08:53 |
| kiasanth | jim_p: worst theme I've ever seen hehe | 08:53 |
| mynullvoid | jp_sf: can you have a look at tdbsam | 08:53 |
| ^Manu | genii: i wanted to do that about 3 hours ago, but nobody would suggest what i needed to so.. | 08:54 |

| rww | Elevator_Hazard: on the last Dells I did WoL with, there was a BIOS setting I needed to change. Did you do that? | 08:54 |
| ^Manu | i can probable down-date and do that if it's better.. | 08:54 |
| ^Manu | but if i can, x is almost working, just no mouse or keyboard.. what do i need to update to make that work? | 08:54 |
| Elevator_Hazard | rww: I looked and I don't see any options that could be for WOL | 08:54 |

| ^Manu | yeah, thats why i'm trying to update as little as possible. | 08:55 |
| Elevator_Hazard | rww: thank you I'll have a look | 08:55 |
| ^Manu | i've only updates xserver-core and xserver-xorg-video-everything | 08:55 |
| mynullvoid | kiasanth: use awk -F for it to use other delimeter | 08:55 |
| pabix | Hello, KDE4 does not gorfarther than splash after an upgrade: secreen is black | 08:56 |

| rww | Elevator_Hazard: Here's someone who got it to work on Windows -- http://www.motherboardpoint.com/showpost.php?s=b54c33a85ea7a3440086e9a088e35d66&p=290020&postcount=3 -- not sure how you'd do it in Ubuntu. | 08:56 |
| pabix | It seems it is a dbus related problem AFAIK | 08:56 |
| puppetpal | i am encountering an error installing grub on a seperate partion so i can dual boot with vista any help would be appriciated | 08:56 |
| ^Manu | or is it more likely the window manager not reading the keyboard/mouse from the xserver correctly anymore? | 08:56 |
| Elevator_Hazard | rww: well I'm running debian :D, I'm trying #debian and ##hardware at the moment | 08:56 |
| Sifre | heyy | 08:57 |
| Sifre | ým install Znc | 08:57 |
| Sifre | but ý dont know | 08:57 |
| jim_p | Elevator_Hazard, i have had sucess once with debian and wol. do you want me to look up that tutorial? | 08:57 |
| genii | ^Manu: The problem unfortunately could be anywhere | 08:58 |
| Rapture | can someone explain to me how to get my HP 1209 working on ubuntu-server? | 08:58 |
| Elevator_Hazard | jim_p that'd be great, there's a chance I've seen it before though. I've tried this a bunch of times on other computers too | 08:58 |
| ^Manu | surely there can't be *too* many things involved in translating input from the mouse and keyboard into movement of the mouse cursor :P | 08:58 |
| Shoopuf | Is there any good/respectable linux software that can test my Ubu Server LAMP web server security? | 08:59 |
| ^Manu | xserver reads data from the driver, window manager gets updated from the xserver? what else is there? | 08:59 |
| czer323 | !nubuntu | 08:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nubuntu | 08:59 |
| evowill | <^Manu> This is why I advised you against it, and said if you were going to do it you would have to install 8.10 or compile the drivers yourself. | 09:00 |
| ^Manu | i was asking how to build from source.. | 09:00 |
| ^Manu | nobody was answering for an hour or so... | 09:00 |
| ^Manu | so i went with the binary update :/ | 09:00 |
| Shoopuf | i hate building from source | 09:00 |
| pseudonym | I'm having trouble with cpufreq. It's working fine when I'm on battery power, but when I'm plugged in, it's stays at full processing speed. The governors "work" when it's plugged in, in that the correct name is displayed, but the processing speed stays maxed out. | 09:00 |
| Shoopuf | the README files never match what i actually have to do :/ | 09:01 |
| ^Manu | i'm sure i can downdate those few packages i updated.. | 09:01 |
| genii | ^Manu: I'd suggest reverting your binary updates then go the route of adding intrepid source repos and build | 09:01 |
| decomp_ | i have a hosed grub after installing winblows. Now I can boot windows, used knoppix and can see my linux partitions. Ive tried mounting sda1 and doing grub-install, and going into the grub shell doing root (hd0,1) etc. but nothing is working. | 09:01 |
| Rapture | i have installed CUPS and I plugged in my printer... how do i "detect" or "mount" my printer? | 09:01 |
| ^Manu | okay, how do i do that? | 09:01 |
| rww | ^Manu: or just upgrade to intrepid =/ | 09:01 |
| Sorethumb | I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...? | 09:01 |
| ^Manu | i can't.. as discussed :( | 09:01 |
| ^Manu | no internet.. hundreds of mb.. | 09:02 |
| rww | ^Manu: Ah. I wasn't paying too much attention, sorry. | 09:02 |
| ^Manu | all good | 09:02 |
| ray_ | hello guys | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, Can you get the alternate CD / DVD? | 09:02 |
| genii | ^Manu: If no internet, how did you update to the 8.10 drivers? | 09:02 |
| victor123 | hi all | 09:03 |
| ^Manu | well, extremely slow internet.. | 09:03 |
| kaneda_ | hi - i've noticed that since installing ubuntu 8.10 and trashing windows off the laptop, the system is running much harder and hotter as a result | 09:03 |
| DarkKnight | hey how can i get my firefox to enable these preferences: # JavaScript and Cookies must be enabled in the browser | 09:03 |
| DarkKnight | # JRE-1.5.0 or higher and Flash plug-ins must be enabled in the browser | 09:03 |
| DarkKnight | # Popup blockers must be disabled | 09:03 |
| Rapture | decomp_: if you go into grub's command line and do a find /boot/grub, does it show anything? | 09:03 |
| kaneda_ | any tips for tracking this down? | 09:03 |
| ^Manu | i can update one or 2 packages, but i cant update the whole distro, it'll take 12 days or something. | 09:03 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: no it cant find it - thats the bizarre thing | 09:03 |
| ^Manu | i can get the 'alternate' cd.. what does that do? | 09:03 |
| decomp_ | ive tried /boot/grub and /grub/... in the find | 09:03 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, You can upgrade with it | 09:03 |
| ^Manu | my isp has an unmetered linux distro repository.. i should be able to get an alternate iso.. | 09:03 |
| ^Manu | really? | 09:03 |
| Rapture | decomp_: how about root (hd0), setup? | 09:03 |
| jim_p | Elevator_Hazard, does the ethernet card support wol? | 09:04 |
| Rapture | and then boot | 09:04 |
| genii | ^Manu: The alternate cd is a text based install.More drivers, works on lesser powered boxes or odd hardware. Can also be used as a mini-repo | 09:04 |
| Sorethumb | I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...? | 09:04 |
| ^Manu | will it freak out while updating since i've already updated one or 2 x related packages? | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, Yes, the alternate CD will upgrade any packages that come in a default install. the DVD will upgrade any packages from main | 09:04 |
| faileas | ^Manu: thats cool ;p | 09:04 |
| ^Manu | how do i | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, It might | 09:04 |
| Katangawise | Hi all! I have some problem with my wlan0. For example, if i'm sitting near the router with my laptop my connection jumping from 35% to 73% and not more.. My friend with his laptop have 98%.. Ubuntu 8.10 Anybody knows how can i solve the problem? | 09:05 |
| ^Manu | 'update to intrepid' do i just need to install all the updates? | 09:05 |
| ^Manu | or is there an update process? | 09:05 |
| Rapture | faileas: did you try that public share yet by chance? | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | ^Manu, There is a process | 09:05 |
| ^Manu | the alternate cd will just offer to do it for me? | 09:05 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: it's just the driver reporting the wrong strength, but it won't hurt anything | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | !upgrade | ^Manu | 09:05 |
| ubottu | ^Manu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 09:05 |
| faileas | Rapture: fraid not. i'm compiling an irc server and services on that box, and she's a little slow | 09:06 |
| ashvala | where can one find autom4te.cache dir? | 09:06 |
| Katangawise | adam7, ehat does it meen? You say it's ok? | 09:06 |
| DarkKnight | hey to access a web page i need to see that my firefox has jre 1.5 or higher and flash support and no popup blocker....how do i get these | 09:06 |
| Rapture | faileas: ah, the P3? | 09:06 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: well, obviously it would be better if it was correct, but it's a minor bug and won't hurt anything | 09:06 |
| ^Manu | okay, downloading the alternate iso :/ | 09:07 |
| Sorethumb | I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...? | 09:07 |
| ^Manu | i'm gonna waste my last cd on it... | 09:07 |
| ^Manu | :? | 09:07 |
| ^Manu | :/ | 09:07 |
| faileas | Rapture: ya, its my irc server/file server/project box | 09:07 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: in all reality, your card probably has close to 100% signal strength | 09:07 |
| genii | ^Manu: I'd suggest seeing the "Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD" section of http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 09:07 |
| Rapture | faileas: cool, what distro you running on it? | 09:07 |
| adam7 | ^Manu: if you have a 1gb usb key you might be able to use that | 09:07 |
| faileas | Rapture: ubuntu ;) | 09:07 |
| kiasanth | mynullvoid: I'm not sure exactly how to use that, what should I change my command line to? md5sum `find . -type f | awk '/.\// { print substr($0, 3) }'` >DEBIAN/md5sums | 09:07 |
| Sifre | heyy | 09:07 |
| Sifre | how to install .deb | 09:07 |
| Sifre | ? | 09:07 |
| Tekno | sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 09:08 |
| Rapture | xubuntu or just gnome? | 09:08 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: yeah i tried that series of steps - i have it saved and have used them before. I did the following: | 09:08 |
| faileas | Sifre: doubleclick on it, or use dpkg -i file,deb | 09:08 |
| genii | Sifre: sudo dpkg -i debname.deb | 09:08 |
| adam7 | ^Manu: are you trying to install ubuntu or upgrade it? | 09:08 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: sudo grub, find /boot/grub/stage1, root (hd0,1), setup (hd0) | 09:08 |
| rww | ^Manu: you don't need to burn the .iso you download to update from it. | 09:08 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: thats worked for me in the past but not this time. It gives me an error saying it cant determine the filesystem type. weird | 09:08 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest63717 | ||
| Katangawise | adam7, Yeh, I think your right.. I remmember that I was downloading programes with 600kb/s.. How can I check my realy speed? | 09:09 |
| rww | ^Manu: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD (and the aside to bulletpoint 2) | 09:09 |
| bujin | org | 09:09 |
| Rapture | decomp_: sounds like winblows rewrote the MBR... grub-install from knoppix didn't fix it? | 09:09 |
| Sifre | ok | 09:09 |
| Sifre | all | 09:09 |
| Sifre | :) | 09:09 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: in a terminal types "iwconfig" without the quotes and it should give you your speed, ie, xxmbps | 09:09 |
| faileas | Rapture: i also need an NFS share on it since mondo seems to keep throwing tantrums at my DVD drive | 09:09 |
| Sifre | znc depends on libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.0); however: | 09:09 |
| Sifre | Package libperl5.10 is not installed. | 09:09 |
| Sifre | dpkg: error processing znc (--install): | 09:09 |

| FloodBot1 | Sifre: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:09 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: i know its hosed good. Couldnt find it. Could i try reinstalling linux ontop without formatting and have it reinstall grub? | 09:09 |
| Sifre | how to install libperl15 | 09:10 |
| reportingsjr | does anyone here know how I can get my nvidia geforce 7300 gs to work with intrepid? | 09:10 |
| Rapture | decomp_: I haven't tried that before, but if you have everything backed up, i don't see why not | 09:10 |
| ^Manu | rww: can i mount the iso and update from within 8.04? | 09:10 |
| reportingsjr | I tried the proprietary drivers but those didn't really work | 09:10 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: im using a 8600 gts without problems | 09:10 |
| rww | ^Manu: Yes. Again,s ee the link I just sent you, it'll explain how to do it. | 09:10 |
| adam7 | ^Manu: yes, just use mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountdir | 09:10 |
| ^Manu | cool | 09:11 |
| bujin | hi | 09:11 |
| ^Manu | i'll try for that :P | 09:11 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: you using the distro driver or the driver downloaded from nvidia? | 09:11 |
| Rapture | faileas: good luck with that... i tried and failed | 09:11 |
| bujin | im trying to configure java on firefox | 09:11 |
| ^Manu | this is the longest most painful OS install ever | 09:11 |
| ^Manu | 3 days and counting.. | 09:11 |
| bujin | I cant | 09:11 |
| ^Manu | seriously, linux sucks :P | 09:11 |
| faileas | Rapture: ya, saving that for after the irc server | 09:11 |
| Katangawise | adam7, In iwconfig I didnt see something about my connection speed.. Thank you, I'll try find some utillity for it.. | 09:11 |
| Sorethumb | I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...? | 09:11 |
| faileas | ^Manu: lol. that beats my record | 09:11 |
| Rapture | faileas: lemme know how it goes, i'd love to learn the tricks | 09:11 |
| jim_p | ^Manu, why? | 09:11 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: if you are using network-manager you can right click on the applet and click information and it shoudl tell you | 09:12 |
| faileas | Rapture: http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-ubuntu-linux-nfs-file-sharing this is what i'm likely to use as a guide | 09:12 |
| bujin | anybody can help me configuring java on firefox? | 09:12 |
| ^Manu | 1: no cd drive, 2: no internet, 3: cutting edge motherboard, hardware (including sata controller) not supported by the kernel | 09:12 |
| Rapture | faileas: there is a way to use the graphics code to assist in compiling in windows, i'm not sure if it can be done in linux, but it might save you some time in the future if possible | 09:12 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: the driver downloaded from nvidia | 09:12 |
| ^Manu | everything is a problem | 09:12 |
| Rapture | graphics card* | 09:12 |
| Sorethumb | I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...? | 09:12 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: actually im remembering earlier when i tried i couldnt even chroot | 09:12 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: whats the problem you are seeing? | 09:13 |
| faileas | Rapture: the problem with that box is that its so old ;p. would be nice to be able to offload it to another box | 09:13 |
| Gnea | ^Manu: I highly doubt that the hardware is unsupported in 8.10 | 09:13 |
| ^Manu | and i can't install 8.10, cus the iso is broken somehow.. either the 8.10 installer doesn't like this pc, or my dvd burner really doesn't like the 8.10 iso.. | 09:13 |
| jim_p | i have a laptop here that i am sure its satans laptop! it has a bluetooth button, i press it, and bluetooth does not start, neither i can see something in lspci/lsusb. any ideas? | 09:13 |
| ^Manu | it never burns properly.. always has errors.. | 09:13 |
| Rapture | decomp_: what does your partitions look like? | 09:13 |
| ^Manu | 8.04 and 9.04 iso's however, all work fine.. | 09:13 |
| Zine | Hi..I m on Ubuntu 8.10 liveCD.The installation has been stuck on 82% for over an hour now.Will it be alright to cancel it.? | 09:13 |
| adam7 | ^Manu: get a 1gb (or bigger) usb disk and use that to install from | 09:13 |
| ^Manu | hardware is supported in 8.10, but i have no way to install it.. | 09:13 |
| ^Manu | i tried that for a day.,. | 09:13 |
| ^Manu | but i could never make it work. | 09:13 |
| Katangawise | adam7, I saw signal strenght... In my laptop it was 72%, in friend's laptop 97%... May be some problem in driver.. | 09:14 |
| ^Manu | always stalled somewhere in the bootup | 09:14 |
| Gnea | ^Manu: please, slow down. what speed did you burn the cds/dvds at? | 09:14 |
| adam7 | ^Manu: what was the problem? | 09:14 |
| ^Manu | 2x | 09:14 |
| ^Manu | but i burned 8.04 and 9.04 at 24x and they worked fine.. | 09:14 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: well, I can't set up dual-head any more, and for some reason directx isn't working on my computer now, either. (for playing warcraft 3) | 09:14 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: one sec booting install dvd now - will need to look again to get that info - one sec | 09:14 |
| jim_p | Zine, does that pc have an internet connection active? ~80% of the installation progress is where it checks the online repos | 09:14 |
| Gnea | 4x is recommended | 09:14 |
| rww | Zine: it's stuck on Scanning the mirror? Pull out the ethernet cord/whatever you're using to connect. | 09:14 |
| faileas | ^Manu: got another OS on it right now? | 09:14 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: yes, but don't worry about it; as long as you know that it isn't working you don't need to worry about it | 09:14 |
| rww | Zine: that should fix it, oddly. | 09:14 |
| faileas | and want a fresh install? | 09:14 |
| Rapture | decomp_: kk | 09:14 |
| ^Manu | i burned multiple 8.10 cd's from 2 separate iso's downloaded from 2 separate places. | 09:14 |
| Gnea | yeah, 24x is way too fast | 09:14 |
| ^Manu | i have 8.04 on it now | 09:14 |
| jim_p | rww, great minds meet :P | 09:14 |
| * rww high-fives jim_p | 09:15 | |
| Gnea | ^Manu: as a general rule of thumb, anyway. | 09:15 |
| jim_p | lmao | 09:15 |
| Rapture | ^Manu: did you ever try to boot from a LiveUSB? | 09:15 |
| ^Manu | actually, i used 16x sorry | 09:15 |
| ^Manu | i never use 24x | 09:15 |
| Zine | jim_p, yep the installer window says "Configuring apt" and "scanning the mirrors..." | 09:15 |
| faileas | ^Manu: maybe use unetbootin to bootstrap an install and go from there? | 09:15 |
| Sorethumb | I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...? | 09:15 |
| faileas | and IIRC it works from ISOs too | 09:15 |
| rww | Zine: pull out the cable / turn off wireless. | 09:15 |
| ^Manu | yeah someone just told me about unetbootin a short while ago.. | 09:15 |
| Katangawise | adam7, if it is working - don't touch, ah? ;) Ok. Thank you a lot! | 09:15 |
| Zine | rww...kk...will do. | 09:16 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: did you run the nvidia install tool? did you have an nvidia card before that could be leaving configuration settings in the xorg.conf? | 09:16 |
| faileas | *with | 09:16 |
| Gnea | ^Manu: but could you also, PLEASE, stop using these short little sentences so much? you're creating a lot of traffic. it makes it very difficult to keep up and to be able to help you out. you can use a larger buffer, like what I'm doing right now, and still get the message across. | 09:16 |
| ^Manu | sounds easier than syslinux, which i couldn't make work proerly.. | 09:16 |
| ^Manu | i had various degrees of 'almost working' | 09:16 |
| adam7 | Katangawise: yep :) it's a common problem with most wireless cards in linux | 09:16 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: this is the only card I've had in this computer. What nvidia install tool? | 09:16 |
| adam7 | ^Manu: what was the problem with the usb key? | 09:16 |
| BentFrank | I have a Kubuntu server running samba and Windows 2000 clients. Users map a network drive to my share point. The share point directory has perms: "drwsrwsr-x 6 dmb fourth" where dmb is a user name and fourth is a group. All users are in group fourth. Someone on a client makes a folder using Windows Explorer in this directory. The new folder has perms "drwxrwsrwx 2 brb fourth". Shouldn't the new directory have perms | 09:16 |
| ^Manu | gnea: sorry, just trying to respond to all 4 or so of you talking asking different things :) | 09:17 |
| Gnea | BentFrank: did you use SWAT to setup samba? | 09:17 |
| Rapture | GRR... i can't find a single site that explains printer setup in ubuntu-server :( | 09:17 |
| Gnea | ^Manu: I understand, but then you wind up saying the same thing over and over and over and over :) | 09:17 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: ok you downloaded the nvidia driver and installed it. Probably dont need to run that install tool. I think it edits your xorg automatically. Do you see the nvidia control panel in your menu anywhere? think its nvidia-settings or something from console | 09:18 |
| ^Manu | adam: syslinux booted, started the kubuntu is loading progress indicator, and then froze... | 09:18 |
| adam7 | Rapture: samba | 09:18 |
| BentFrank | Gnea: I don't know, what is swap? A consultant set it up. | 09:18 |
| Gnea | Rapture: http://localhost:631/ | 09:18 |
| ^Manu | gnea: sorry :P .. 3 days on this, i'm starting to lose my sanity.. | 09:18 |
| Gnea | !swat | BentFrank | 09:18 |
| ubottu | BentFrank: 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 | 09:18 |
| Rapture | adam7: i know, but ubuntu doesn't even see the printer... or atleast i dunno how to tell | 09:18 |
| kaneda_ | !swap | BentFrank | 09:18 |
| ubottu | BentFrank: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 09:18 |
| genii | Gnea: I'm pretty sure thats CUPS and not SWAT | 09:18 |
| adam7 | Rapture: is it a USB printer? and is it plugged in? (sorry, just have to check :) | 09:18 |
| ^Manu | anyway, it sounds like my next approach is to use 8.10 alternate, and install from within 8.04.. that's possible? | 09:18 |
| Rapture | adam7: yes and yes | 09:19 |
| genii | Gnea: nvm mis-read the recipient | 09:19 |
| Gnea | BentFrank: SWAT is a web-interface that has a bajillion different options for tweaking samba | 09:19 |
| Gnea | genii: np | 09:19 |
| nbeebo | dont like that vlc went qt... | 09:19 |
| adam7 | Rapture: did you go to localhost:631 in your web browser? | 09:19 |

| nbeebo | im banned there lol | 09:19 |

| Rapture | adam7: I can't remotely login on that port | 09:20 |
| adam7 | Rapture: how much do you know about ssh port tunneling? | 09:21 |
| Sorethumb | Gnea: Kinda like myspace with webcams, I use it to keep in touch with friends at college. | 09:21 |
| genii | BentFrank: Does putting url in server box of: http://localhost:901 bring up a control panel or login screen of sorts? | 09:21 |
| Rapture | adam7: only enough to keep my VPN up at work.. | 09:21 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: i have 3 partitions: /dev/sda1, ext3, 262337MB, /dev/sda2. ntfs, 45568MB for win, and /dev/sda5,swap,12165MB | 09:21 |

| Jordan_U | ^Manu, If the upgrade doesn't work you can also try installing from the alternate CD using a different ( text based, not a liveCD ) installer | 09:21 |
| Rapture | decomp_: holy crap that's a huge swap | 09:21 |
| adam7 | Rapture: ok, forward 631 from the server to your local machine -- I'll see if I can find the command you need | 09:21 |
| Gnea | Sorethumb: I don't see it in the repositories. you might want to check out cheese. | 09:21 |
| Rapture | adam7: thanx | 09:21 |
| Sifre | heyyyyy Help ZNC | 09:21 |
| Alex_Gaynor | I have an intel 4965 chip and it just hard crashes for me at arbitrary times | 09:21 |
| Sifre | for ubuntu | 09:21 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: must have been created by the last install ;) | 09:21 |
| ^Manu | cool, that might work better. | 09:21 |
| Sifre | how to install ZNC? | 09:22 |
| evowill | Rapture: The biggest help is going to be 'man lpadmin' | 09:22 |
| Sifre | ubuntu | 09:22 |
| ^Manu | we'll see where i die this time :) | 09:22 |
| Sorethumb | Gnea: It's a web app. | 09:22 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest76028 | ||
| itzhero | I have created a shell script, but I want to use the killall command to kill transmission after a sleep time of 5h, how do I allow it to run with root privledges? | 09:22 |
| Rapture | evowill: kk, i'll check it out | 09:22 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: damn never saw that - 12gb? thats enormous. I need to do something about that | 09:22 |
| itzhero | running sudo bash script.sh doesn't work | 09:22 |
| Sifre | heyyy | 09:22 |
| Gnea | Sorethumb: is there an Ubuntu package of it? | 09:22 |
| evowill | But if you can use ssh to get to your machine, you can also use that as a socks proxy to reach the web interface | 09:22 |
| Sifre | how to install ZNC? IRC Bouncer | 09:22 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: sorry about that. Yeah, nvidia x server settings | 09:22 |
| Jordan_U | itzhero, Why do you need root privileges to kill transmission? | 09:23 |
| Sorethumb | Gnea: It runs through the browser, it's a website. | 09:23 |
| reportingsjr | but it says that it's not working with x so I need to run a program, but I did that and it still did nothing | 09:23 |
| adam7 | Rapture: ssh -L 63100:remoteserver:631 username@remoteserver | 09:23 |
| Rapture | decomp_: hmm, well, my suggestion would be to delete/resize that swap, but for the grub issue, i'd try a grub-install on sda and include your winblows install in it | 09:23 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: ok cool, you should beable to set dual head there. think its a checkbox. | 09:23 |
| itzhero | Jordan_U: killall transmission doesn't kill it :/ | 09:23 |
| adam7 | Rapture: where remoteserver is the address of the server you are ssh'ed into and username is your username | 09:23 |
| Sifre | HEYY | 09:23 |
| Gnea | Sorethumb: url? | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | itzhero, And sudo killall does? | 09:23 |
| adam7 | Sifre: we heard you the first time :) | 09:23 |
| Rapture | adam7: is there a way to do it in Putty (using a vista box atm)? | 09:23 |
| Gnea | !caps | Sifre | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Sifre: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 09:24 |
| Sifre | ok | 09:24 |
| Sifre | sorry | 09:24 |
| adam7 | Rapture: oh, yes. Putty can do it too, it's in the first box that pops up | 09:24 |
| Sorethumb | Gnea: www.stickam.com | 09:24 |
| itzhero | Jordan_U: hmm, it did when i tried it a few minutes ago. now i can't kill it that way | 09:24 |
| decomp_ | Rapture: AHA! ive been trying to put it on /dev/sda1 so you are saying try to grub-install on /dev/sda2 (ntfs partition?) | 09:24 |
| puppetpal | i think i might be having the same problem as decomp | 09:25 |
| genii | You shouldn't put grub on ANY sub-partition, just the mbr | 09:25 |
| Sifre | help me | 09:25 |
| itzhero | Jordan_U: I can only kill it after running "ps" command | 09:25 |
| adam7 | !ask | Sifre | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Sifre: 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. :-) | 09:25 |
| Rapture | decomp_: no, just sda... grub writes to the MBR, which is a partition, but not readily visible | 09:25 |
| Sifre | how to install znc? irc Bouncer | 09:25 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: I get.. "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " | 09:25 |
| Rapture | adam7: connection refused... maybe i'm being dumb | 09:25 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: I tried that and it didn't work | 09:25 |
| |ahmina| | Anyone speak Turkish? If you do, talk to Sifre | 09:26 |

| genii | Sifre: Enable universe repo and then do it usual way, from package manager | 09:26 |
| Sifre | how | 09:27 |
| Sifre | show me command | 09:27 |
| evowill | Sifre: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware | 09:27 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: drop to a console and first backup your /etc/xorg.conf file. Then try running 'nvidia-config' or something like that, sorry my box is unavailable right now due to my grub problem :) i dont have the exact syntax. That should write a new xorg.conf for you. | 09:27 |

| unimatrix9 | hi ther | 09:27 |
| genii | Sifre: In Add/Remove programs it has a place to specify repositories | 09:28 |
| unimatrix9 | any one who owns a dell mininote with ubuntu? | 09:28 |
| adam7 | Rapture: 631 is the samba printer configuration utility port | 09:28 |
| Jordan_U | itzhero, Does " killall -HUP transmission " ( NOT as root ) work ? | 09:28 |
| Rapture | ah | 09:28 |
| rww | !anyone | unimatrix9 | 09:28 |
| ubottu | unimatrix9: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 09:28 |
| unimatrix9 | does any one here owns a dell mininote with ubuntu preinstalled? | 09:28 |
| Rapture | adam7: i tried HTTPS to it and it says the page is "temporarily down" | 09:28 |
| itzhero | Jordan_U: thanks, that worked :) | 09:28 |
| ziroday | unimatrix9: what is your exact problem? | 09:29 |
| unimatrix9 | not really a problem | 09:29 |
| Sifre | genii no pc my vos | 09:29 |
| unimatrix9 | just to ask how it works | 09:29 |
| itzhero | Jordan_U: just curious, what does the -HUP switch do? | 09:29 |
| Rapture | maybe i'm missing a samba install? | 09:29 |
| BentFrank | Gnea: I read those links. They don't even mention swat. Anyway, this is an OS issue I think. Doesn't suid on a dir mean all files and dirs created below it will have same owner and including suid? | 09:29 |
| ziroday | unimatrix9: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, you'll get better responses there :) | 09:29 |
| genii | Sifre: No what your what? | 09:29 |
| quatar-it | hi all. | 09:30 |
| quatar-it | can anyone of you understand why all the videos i see are displayed darker than two or three days ago? It's not an LCD setting, 'cause i can't manage those... | 09:30 |
| quatar-it | It applies to all sources: streaming in flash applet, kinodv, totem, vlc... But my screen isn't darker. Only videos... | 09:30 |
| unimatrix9 | ziroday, that is if someone over there has one, and most likely there are more people over here | 09:30 |
| rww | BentFrank: it makes them have the same group ID, not user ID. | 09:30 |
| ziroday | unimatrix9: yes, however this is not the correct place either | 09:30 |
| BentFrank | That's sgid isn;t it? | 09:30 |
| hardcampa | itzhero usually the HUP switch reloads the config in programs | 09:30 |
| evowill | Rapture: with lpadmin, you can add and manage printers from the command line | 09:30 |
| Rapture | adam7: do i need to enable something in smb.conf for the printer config page to be enabled? | 09:30 |
| centr0 | typically what interface would i put "pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules"? i hear 2 different interfaces.. lo or eth0. | 09:30 |
| Rapture | evowill: kk | 09:31 |
| hardcampa | itzhero but that's actually up to the programmer to implement as he wants. | 09:31 |
| adam7 | Rapture: I don't think so | 09:31 |
| rww | BentFrank: oh. Yes. setgid on directories does that. setuid on directories is ignored, according to Wikipedia. | 09:31 |
| adam7 | Rapture: it seems to work on mine without messing with any sambaish stuff | 09:31 |
| ziroday | centr0: erm lo is your loopback device, and eth0 is your ethernet connection | 09:31 |
| itzhero | hmm, well it worked when i first tried it, but its no longer working :/ | 09:31 |
| BentFrank | Thanks rww. | 09:31 |
| genii | Sifre: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for how to enable the Universe repository. | 09:31 |
| Sifre | checking for perl_alloc in -lperl... Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lperl | 09:32 |
| Sifre | no | 09:32 |
| Sifre | configure: error: Could not find libperl. Try --disable-perl | 09:32 |
| Rapture | evowill,adam7: is there a way to check to see if ubuntu even sees the printer? | 09:32 |
| itzhero | i found out why...i was running it too soon. killall transmission works when transmission has been running for about 15sec | 09:32 |
| centr0 | ziroday: ubuntu's doc site is telling me to put them in eth0, my web host site is telling me to put it in lo. and im stuck as to which one if not both to put my pre-up line in. | 09:32 |
| Sifre | geni | 09:32 |
| Sifre | :) | 09:32 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: that command didn't work, I have the same exact thing as before | 09:32 |
| Sifre | no my computer | 09:32 |
| ziroday | centr0: what exactly are you trying to do? | 09:32 |
| adam7 | Rapture: lshw | 09:32 |
| Sifre | vps ok:) | 09:32 |
| genii | Sifre: No need to try and compile it. There is a package. | 09:32 |
| adam7 | Rapture: or lsusb | 09:32 |
| centr0 | ziroday: start iptables at startup. | 09:32 |
| Rapture | thanx | 09:32 |
| Elevator_Hazard | What should I do if I can see that my NIC is getting the wake on lan packet (it blinks at me when I send it) but does not wake up..? There's no option in the bios for it, and using the ethtool command (debian) it says that wake on lan is enabled... | 09:33 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: was that the correct command? did it execute a script or anything? | 09:33 |
| Sifre | how | 09:33 |
| Rapture | forgot about that :D | 09:33 |
| nbeebo | how do i do so output of speakers become input of microphone? | 09:33 |
| ziroday | centr0: right, you will probably want iptables working on eth0, its not going to do much good on lo | 09:33 |
| evowill | Rapture lpinfo -v | 09:33 |
| centr0 | ziroday: ty | 09:33 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: one sec im hitting the nvidia site since i cant get to mine | 09:33 |
| genii | Sifre: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for how to enable the Universe repository. This will make znc available to install. Then use Synaptic to just install it. | 09:33 |
| cq | hello, i'm trying to isntall ubuntu from a netinstall USB stick... the installation works, grub installs, but then it doesn't boot. | 09:33 |
| cq | Then I run the super grub bootdisk, which finds my linux installation, but hangs on Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... | 09:33 |
| cq | any ideas? | 09:34 |
| ziroday | cq: have you selected your BIOS to boot from the usb drive? | 09:34 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: did you try the ubuntu repo for the nvidia driver or just go straight to nvidia.com | 09:34 |
| ziroday | cq: wait nevermind, misread :) | 09:34 |
| cq | I can boot from the USB fine, jsut when I try to boot from the SATA drives it hangs... | 09:34 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: i got it through the restricted drivers app | 09:35 |
| Rapture | evowill: direct usb://HP/psc%201200%20series?serial=CN456G32915H | 09:35 |
| genii | cq: Sounds like you're mising the sata chipset driver | 09:35 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: aha ok cool. | 09:35 |
| Rapture | evowill: direct hp:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=CN456G32915H | 09:35 |
| decomp_ | one sec | 09:35 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: which card you have? GeForce 7300? | 09:35 |
| cq | genii: ok, what do I need to do? use a special netinstall installation, or a different live image? | 09:36 |
| zine_ | Hi..I just installed 8.10, but on booting the PC, GRUB doesn't show any entry for Ubuntu.! It only shows Ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+ and Windows XP.Help.!! | 09:36 |
| amerinese | hey i think i might have a bug, but does anyone else put their desktop menu bars at the top with the application-places-system bar at the top and the open programs bar underneath that? it's always saved in the wrong order so every time i restart i have to rearrange it again | 09:36 |
| DarkKnight | hey to access a web page i need to see that my firefox has jre 1.5 or higher and flash support and no popup blocker....how do i get these | 09:36 |
| evowill | Rapture : yes, you will need to use lpadmin with direct usb://HP/psc%201200%20series?serial=CN456G32915H | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | itzhero, It sends a SIGHUP to the process instead of a SIGINT. SIGINT means the process should quit itself ( I don't know why transmission doesn't ) SIGHUP tells the process that there has been a hangup, that the controlling terminal has gone away. If you start transmission from a terminal you should notice that ctrl+C ( which sends a SIGINT ) does not cause transmission to exit but closing the terminal does | 09:36 |
| cq | and: who's missing it? after the ubuntu installation, the reboot doesn't even show the grub menu... | 09:36 |
| genii | cq: You can boot to live cd, edit the intramfs conf file to include the driver you need, then rebuild the initrd | 09:36 |
| cq | hm, there are no images with all drivers included somewhere? | 09:37 |
| cq | or is that easy to do? | 09:37 |
| itzhero | Jordan_U: Thank you. It seems to be working now -- if not I'll just keep working with it. | 09:37 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: what you want i believe is called 'Xinerama'. Thats what i use. And i see a report here that it broke in intrepid. Take a look here: | 09:37 |
| jim_p | i have a laptop here that i am sure its satans laptop! it has a bluetooth button, i press it, and bluetooth does not start, neither i can see something in lspci/lsusb. any ideas? | 09:37 |
| decomp_ | http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1886275 | 09:37 |
| ubuntu | neither ubuntu or the gparted boot CD are detecing either of my hard drives, nor my sata DVD burner. they're all detected by the bios and detected by windows. what's going on? | 09:37 |
| jim_p | ubuntu, what mobo are they on? | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | itzhero, np, interestingly if you send 3 SIGINTs transmission does exit, not sure if that's a bug or a feature. | 09:38 |
| ubuntu | jim_p: the model? | 09:38 |
| evowill | <ubuntu> What is the computer make/model/ and what version of Ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| ziroday | jim_p: is the bluetooth enabled in the BIOS? | 09:38 |
| jim_p | ubuntu, nevermind, pastebin the output of lspci | 09:39 |
| reportingsjr | decomp_: phooy | 09:39 |
| ubuntu | motherboard is gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3r, and hardy | 09:39 |
| DarkKnight | hey to access a web page i need to see that my firefox has jre 1.5 or higher and flash support and no popup blocker....how do i get these | 09:39 |
| decomp_ | reportingsjr: yeah intrepid is still rough on a few edges i guess | 09:39 |
| jim_p | ziroday, there is no such option in bios. the button does turn blue when pressed | 09:39 |
| Sorethumb | How do I check what version of Flash I have? | 09:39 |
| ziroday | !version | Sorethumb | 09:39 |
| ubottu | Sorethumb: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 09:39 |
| BarryManilow | I am a version 1.1.0 PyBorg | 09:39 |
| jim_p | Sorethumb, about:plugins in ff address bar | 09:40 |
| ziroday | BarryManilow: do you have a question we can help you with? | 09:40 |
| Sorethumb | Thanks! | 09:40 |
| ardchoille | Sorethumb: open firefox and type this into the urlbar: about:plugins | 09:40 |
| unimatrix9 | probably nforce chipset | 09:40 |
| evowill | <ubuntu> If possible, you may want to try 8.10 | 09:40 |
| Rapture | adam7: odd, i fixed the login issue.. or i thought: 403 Forbidden | 09:40 |
| zine_ | Hi..I just installed 8.10, but on booting the PC, GRUB doesn't show any entry for Ubuntu.! It only shows Ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+ and Windows XP.Help.!! | 09:40 |
| jim_p | ubuntu, the chipset of the mobo IS NOT supported by hardys kernel. you will need a distro with 2.6.25 for p45 support | 09:41 |
| ziroday | jim_p: doesn't appear in lspci? | 09:41 |
| jim_p | *2.6.25 at least | 09:41 |
| jim_p | ziroday, nope | 09:41 |
| ubuntu | lspci: http://pastebin.com/m5d69c137 | 09:41 |
| ubuntu | oh | 09:41 |
| jim_p | ubuntu, are you on ati as well? | 09:42 |
| ubuntu | yeah | 09:42 |
| genii | cq: First find what driver module you need. What is the chipset? | 09:42 |
| reportingsjr | decomp: you'd think something like that would be fixed by now :( | 09:42 |
| jim_p | ubuntu, i would say "try 8.10 that has 2.6.27 kernel) but its xorg 1.5 and ati will disappoint you. so... | 09:42 |
| adam7 | Rapture: oh, you might have to be accessing it from 127.0.0.1 -- I don't think it's open to the internet | 09:42 |
| ziroday | jim_p: the only other idea is to poke around /proc or that it might be under lsusb but besides that *shrug* | 09:42 |
| cwillu | how do you turn off emulation of 3 button mice? I've got a game that uses all three buttons, and the emulation is screwing it up | 09:43 |
| rww_ | adam7, Rapture: It's not. cups binds to loopback by default. | 09:43 |
| jim_p | ziroday, will you give me a sec to pastebin lspci and lsusb? | 09:43 |
| ubuntu | jim_p if it can display an image on the screen then it's good enough for me | 09:43 |
| decomp | reportingsjr: yeah, check the ubuntu forums or bug list. Maube there is a patch | 09:43 |
| ubuntu | gah | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | jim_p, 8.10 works with fglrx, it has since the late beta IIRC | 09:43 |
| ziroday | jim_p: sure :) | 09:43 |
| jim_p | ubuntu, what ati is it? | 09:43 |
| === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu1 | ||
| Rapture | rww_: i changed cups.conf to: Listen *:631 | 09:43 |
| genii | cq: A fast way for the initramfs without rebuilding it is: boot to livecd. mount the hd / somewhere. then make a file in the mounted /etc/initramfs-tools called init, and make it executable. Then in the file the command to load the driver. Like: modprobe sata_nv or so | 09:44 |
| jim_p | Jordan_U, yea i have seen it how it works in phoronix forums | 09:44 |
| nbeebo | sometimes i get incredibly angry at ubuntu, just so you all know | 09:44 |
| jim_p | ubuntu1, lspci | grep VGA | 09:44 |
| Rapture | nbeebo me too | 09:44 |
| ubuntu1 | jim_p: it's a 3870 | 09:44 |
| nbeebo | good | 09:44 |
| DarkKnight | hey to access a web page i need to see that my firefox has jre 1.5 or higher and flash support and no popup blocker....how do i get these | 09:44 |
| rww_ | Rapture: stupid question, but did you restart cups after doing that | 09:44 |
| cq | genii: its an msi ms-7521 board, g45m | 09:44 |
| Rapture | yes | 09:44 |
| cads | hello I'd like to install xfce and the themes that come with xubuntu, but I don't want xubuntu to take over and run extra things during startup or replace my gdm.. which package should I install for that? | 09:45 |
| ziroday | DarkKnight: do you have flash and java installed? | 09:45 |
| Rapture | rww_: /etc/inetd.d/cups restart | 09:45 |
| ziroday | cads: you can install xubuntu-artwork | 09:45 |
| ziroday | cads: as well as xfce | 09:45 |
| jim_p | ubuntu1, you can try your luck with radeon or radeonhd, or even vesa if your monitor is not wide. in any way, i would not advise installing 8.10 under these conditions | 09:45 |
| adam7 | Rapture: /etc/init.d/cups restart | 09:45 |
| cads | i'll try that ziroday | 09:45 |
| jim_p | Jordan_U, are you on ati as well? | 09:46 |
| genii | cq: That one has an intel ICH10r chipset. | 09:46 |
| cads | like the pun on oldschool 0-day warez, ziro :D | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | jim_p, On my laptop, yes | 09:46 |
| ubuntu1 | is there any way to shoehorn the updated kernel into hardy? | 09:46 |
| jim_p | cq, you also need a 2.6.25 kernel! | 09:46 |
| Rapture | adam7: same issue | 09:46 |
| jim_p | ubuntu1, in live mode, without installing ? no | 09:47 |
| ziroday | cads: mmhm, nobody can take me seriously :) | 09:47 |
| Rapture | grr! if my daughter hadn't thrown her bottle at my monitor, I wouldn't have this problem.. | 09:47 |
| Rapture | pretty light show though | 09:47 |
| jim_p | Jordan_U, and it works with xorg 1.5? | 09:47 |
| unimatrix9 | yes nick we take you seriously :P | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | jim_p, Yes | 09:47 |
| Rapture | FYI: CRT monitors and liquids DO NOT MIX! | 09:48 |
| DarkKnight | ziroday; how do i check whether i installed them and the type of version | 09:48 |
| jim_p | Jordan_U, with fglrx? | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | jim_p, Yes | 09:48 |
| ziroday | DarkKnight: you can do apt-cache policy <package name? | 09:48 |
| jim_p | it seems i live in a paralel universe then :P | 09:48 |
| jim_p | ziroday, i promised something, sorry. let me ssh in | 09:48 |
| ubuntu1 | jim_p: it worked before with my sata drives in AHCI mode, why not now? | 09:48 |
| DarkKnight | Ziroday; didnt get you..why do i have to use apt-cache | 09:49 |
| jim_p | ubuntu1, what worked before? | 09:49 |
| cq | weird, jsut tried the debian installer from stable, it doesn't even see the disks | 09:49 |
| ziroday | !version | DarkKnight see the second command | 09:49 |
| ubottu | DarkKnight see the second command: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 09:49 |
| BarryManilow | I am a version 1.1.0 PyBorg | 09:49 |
| cq | the ubuntu installer sees them | 09:49 |
| cq | then again, debian stable is old, I'll try testing... | 09:49 |
| ubuntu1 | jim_p: installation, etc. i had a fully functional installation of ubuntu | 09:49 |
| jim_p | cq, debian stable's kernel is as old as the pyramids in egypt | 09:49 |
| DarkKnight | Ziroday; i am using hardy.. | 09:49 |
| genii | cq: The driver name should be: ahci | 09:50 |
| jim_p | ubuntu1, then enable achi | 09:50 |
| DarkKnight | Ziroday; i was asking which version of java and flash to install | 09:50 |
| ubuntu1 | ah, but then i can't install windows XP | 09:50 |
| ubuntu1 | which is why i turned it off | 09:50 |
| ziroday | DarkKnight: okay, so you want to install java and flash? | 09:50 |
| jim_p | ubuntu1, use f6 to load the achi drivers when prompted... or make another bootable cd with xp containing the drivers. i can show you how | 09:51 |
| cq | thanks... I'll give debian testing a shot, that kernel should be fairly new, otherwise I'll have to do what you suggested | 09:51 |
| jim_p | jim_p, with nlite :P | 09:51 |
| genii | ubuntu1: Boot to your motherboard cd and make the XP driver floppy. Then use the F6 of XP install to use the floppy | 09:51 |
| ubuntu1 | jim_p: i'm pretty sure i need a floppy though, and i don't have a floppy drive nor any floppy disks | 09:51 |
| jim_p | cq, the debian testing is on 2.6.26 | 09:51 |
| jim_p | in case you need something specific | 09:51 |

| yeus | hi guys short question: is anyone here familiar with the Asus P5B motherboard and its realted software on windows, like the AI-suite for example, which enables overclocking by software, manual selection of CPU-speeds, fan control, etc... is there any way to make this work on linux? | 10:01 |
| jim_p | yeus, no | 10:01 |
| yeus | actually i guess the question is not as short as I said :) | 10:01 |
| ubuntu1 | davit try it now. i have no clue what's causing your problem but whenever a wine program doesn't start i just do it from the console and it usually works | 10:01 |
| jim_p | yeus, not even under wine | 10:01 |
| A4Tech | rww please /join #newsystems | 10:01 |
| rww | yeus: I have an Asus P5K-E. I don't think there's a way to overclock by software with Linux, so I do it from the BIOS. Temperature and fan sensors work with lm-sensors | 10:02 |
| rww | A4Tech: no | 10:02 |
| === GuGa is now known as GuGa_r0x | ||

| yeus | I would like a program which enables me to control cpu-speed and one which does that automatically taking the current workload into account | 10:06 |
| quatar-it | jim_p: i think. Unfortunately, i can't prove that in an objective way. It's how i do percieve it! | 10:06 |
| yeus | the main reason I am asking for this is energy-saving :) | 10:06 |
| ubuntu1 | davit: what program re you trying to run? | 10:06 |
| rww | yeus: powernowd will automatically reduce the CPU speed of most modern CPUs when full speed is not needed. powernowd is installed by default in Ubuntu. | 10:06 |
| ultratek | jim_P cuz my workgroup is HOME as it has to be capital letters in vista... will samba under stand this...because i still cannot see the other windows pc on ubuntu | 10:06 |
| jim_p | yeus, cpu frequency scaling! can be done if you are patient! did it on my bros laptop. it goes to 800Mhz to 1600 to 1800. 3 steps only, but its worth it | 10:07 |
| rww | yeus: see also the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" GNOME panel applet, which allows you to manually control powernowd. | 10:07 |

| ramon | sarmisak what you really need to have to track it then? | 10:58 |
| chiliblue | has anyone had luck installing adobe air in ubuntu 8.10 | 10:59 |

| gazotem | ramon most cell phone gps systems utilize satellites to triangulate the cell phone signal. you will need to have access to these which is almost uncertain unless your phone has an open system that allows you to take advantage of this, which I highly dought. | 11:00 |
| dns53 | ramon you can only track a cell phone if you are the network or have the authority of the government to get the networks to tell you | 11:00 |

| dot | annaimkonki: yes | 11:02 |
| dot | but I can not see the last episodes | 11:03 |
| dns53 | ramon you need some way of getting the phone to tell you where it is, so the phone network knows you could get your phone to send that info out to a server and track it yourself if you ahve a gps | 11:03 |
| sarmisak | ramon, I think I'm not clear enough, you need to install a software on the phone to send you the coordinates | 11:03 |
| gazotem | ramon No go, google earth is essentially a set of preset images spanned over a 3d globe, it is not real time | 11:03 |
| tavi | hey who know how can make the space between the items on the desktop more little | 11:03 |

| Apocalyps | assargadon: are you trying to split or combine? | 11:50 |
| sarmisak | harlemdavvey, no need for that, you should be virus free for another decade or so | 11:50 |
| harlemdavvey | sarmisark: hahahahahahahaha lol ok thx by the way:) | 11:50 |
| harlemdavvey | sarmisak: have a nice day man and thanks for your help | 11:51 |
| assargadon | Apocalyps: split and then combine. A have a several large files, I want to combine it in one archive, but splitted on several parts of standart size | 11:51 |
| Apocalyps | assargadon: so put all of them in one folder, then create .rar archive from this folder | 11:52 |
| assargadon | Apocalyps: ah sorry, there was NO "size of volume", it was just "size of archive" | 11:52 |
| assargadon | Apocalyps: yes, and then? | 11:53 |

Everything works fine on Vista, so my ISP claims it's not his fault. I've tried disabling the IPv6 module, but to no | 11:57 |
| Accidus | avail (this should only affect DNS lookup anyway, and that works fine). I've tried booting from CD, but the problem persists. Any ideas what I should do further? | 11:57 |
| assargadon | deany: is it accessible via Synaptic? | 11:57 |
| deany | i dont know of one :) try winrar in wine maybe ? | 11:58 |

| abuyusuf_ | b00ley, No you can without WinRAR, but using console without GUI | 11:59 |
| Apocalyps | assargadon: yes | 11:59 |
| deany | assargadon: right click the file/folder, make archive.. choose rar and drop down other options | 11:59 |
| deany | splt is in there | 11:59 |

| jalsot | I was googling a lot around but suspend and hibernate doesn't want to work - to tell the truth, Compiz has some issues too | 12:11 |
| abuyusuf_ | Jianaran_, no problems | 12:11 |
| J-_ | After a break from the server(ubuntu 8.04), I turned it back on and I found that sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't work. So, I cd /etc/init.d/ and networking isn't there. Is there a way to reconfigure the system to bring it back? My server still works both locally(with internal IP), and people say my website is working. Though, I can't access it through my LAN with either WAN IP, or domain name. | 12:11 |
| faileas | Paddy_EIRE: i'll have an error message in a moment ;) | 12:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | faileas, you tried partimage? | 12:11 |

| quibbler | Rec0, add to panel volume control | 12:18 |
| assargadon | Apocalyps: yes, it possible, too. But copying of DVDs is not a point. Archiving a point. Another example possible is photo albums archiving. | 12:18 |
| Rec0 | ahhh thanks quibbler | 12:18 |
| abuyusuf_ | jarco, do: "lsusb" | 12:18 |
| assargadon | Apocalyps: I just have no other big files in one place to test thee | 12:19 |
| quibbler | Rec0, you are welcome | 12:19 |
| J-_ | jim_p: want me pastebin the output? | 12:19 |
| abuyusuf_ | jarco, that would list all your usb connected devices including your microphone, if it's listed, then check your recording settings it may be muted there | 12:19 |

Noteable examples: Gmail disconnects frequently, browsing through Facebook fails repeatedly, posting stuff to forums/pastebin is problematic, cannot login properly to bank accounts. Everything works fine on Vista, so my ISP claims it's not his fault. I've tried disabling the IPv6 module, | 12:23 |

| abuyusuf_ | Jianaran_, so please test in another places | 12:48 |
| faileas | Paddy_EIRE: it does seem to be my windows partition thats the issue. seems to be a start ;) | 12:49 |
| Jianaran_ | abuyusuf_: xchat links give me the error; pidgin as a MSN client doesn't. I'm trying to find more links... | 12:49 |
| abuyusuf_ | Jianaran_, try restarting xchat please | 12:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | faileas, have you chkdsk that drive? | 12:50 |
| faileas | Paddy_EIRE: as far as i know, it works fine in windows. i'll do it next time i boot. it also mounts fine when i do it manually | 12:51 |
| Paddy_EIRE | faileas, to rule that out | 12:51 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ah | 12:51 |
| faileas | will do it next time i reboot | 12:51 |

| Jianaran_ | What's the latest version? I think I may have done a sudo apt-get install xchat*... Which might have just got me the lowest numbered verfsion. | 12:59 |

| abuyusuf_ | Pirate_Hunter, No problem | 13:06 |
| abuyusuf_ | Jianaran_, What is the news ? | 13:07 |
| Jianaran_ | hmm... I did the apt-get install xchat xchat-gnome xchat-gnome-common, the terminal seemed to be downloading stuff, yet I'm still at 0.18 | 13:08 |
| Toppy | Anyone know a console or GUI app that you can add descriptions to files that show up when you list them? | 13:08 |
| Jianaran_ | abuyusuf_: "xchat is already the newest version", apparently | 13:08 |
| abuyusuf_ | Jianaran_, try "xchat-gnome" from terminal | 13:08 |
| asea168 | how to use VIM? | 13:09 |
| Aji-Daha1a | is there anything like kontact for gnome? | 13:09 |

| Pirate_Hunter | how do i set ubuntu to update automatically without asking for confirmation? | 13:09 |
| abuyusuf_ | Toppy, you would post a brainstorm for that, i don't think that is current | 13:09 |
| Aji-Daha1a | asea168: that's a long and complicated answer | 13:09 |
| Enselic | Jianaran_: If you haven't tried Konversation, give it a try. I find it to be a much better IRC client than XChat | 13:09 |
| Jianaran_ | ok, will do | 13:09 |
| abuyusuf_ | !brainstorm | Toppy | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Toppy: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 13:09 |
| Aji-Daha1a | asea168: you're probably better off using pico or nano if you don't know vim | 13:10 |
| abuyusuf_ | Jianaran_, OK, you may be have to remove that from your machine and install the latest manually, what do you think ? | 13:10 |
| abuyusuf_ | !nano | asea168 | 13:10 |

| faileas | dos 3.1 ? o0 | 13:11 |
| abuyusuf_ | Toppy, i think that idea is great one, so add a brainstorm and it should appear soon in ubuntu as i think | 13:11 |
| faileas | was that on an XT? ;p | 13:11 |
| asea168 | what is nano or pico | 13:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how do i set ubuntu to update automatically without asking for confirmation? | 13:12 |
| Aji-Daha1a | asea168: they are text editors | 13:12 |
| faileas | asea168: text based text editors | 13:12 |
| Toppy | Ok, will do abuyusuf! | 13:12 |
| abuyusuf_ | asea168, text editors, based on terminal use | 13:12 |
| abuyusuf_ | asea168, nano is very user-friendly one | 13:12 |
| Jianaran_ | abuyusuf_: Sorry, was afk. I'm installing Konversation; if that doesn't work I'll try uninstalling xchat. This was pretty weird, though | 13:12 |

| jackz0r | Ubuntu is really amazing, I used Slackware and Red Hat about 5 years ago, and it required so much configuration to run it as a Desktop | 13:14 |
| jackz0r | I ran them as an everyday OS, not as a weekend warrior | 13:15 |
| faileas | jackz0r: IMO, all of the distros have gotten a long way since 5 years ago ;) | 13:15 |
| faileas | Paddy_EIRE: hmm, might help, but it seems to work if i don't backup my windows drive | 13:15 |
| abuyusuf_ | Aji-Daha1a, OK, you can use alternative one like: "SunBird" | 13:16 |
| jackz0r | very true. but gentoo needs lots of work post install too | 13:16 |
| abuyusuf_ | Aji-Daha1a, it's so great one, part of Mozilla family | 13:16 |
| Aji-Daha1a | abuyusuf_: I may try that. | 13:16 |
| faileas | gentoo... is special ;p | 13:16 |
| Aji-Daha1a | abuyusuf_: I was looking at evolution but it didn't seem quite so good | 13:16 |
| jackz0r | Ubuntu is quite impressive from an out of the box standpoint | 13:16 |
| abuyusuf_ | Aji-Daha1a, i tried evolution but not so good, you're right | 13:16 |
| faileas | its pretty good ;p | 13:16 |
| Aji-Daha1a | faileas: I like gentoo :) | 13:17 |
| faileas | Aji-Daha1a: it has a fairly different .. structure though, in terms of goals | 13:18 |
| Aji-Daha1a | faileas: for sure, but my usual OS, what I cut my teeth on, is freebsd | 13:18 |
| asea168 | kommander Editor is mean? | 13:18 |
| faileas | nearly every other distro is based off, or supported by a commercial varient ;) | 13:18 |
| Aji-Daha1a | so gentoo is familiar in many ways | 13:18 |
| jackz0r | maybe it's because I've been away for so long, but one plus you can give windows is that it installs and is "ready to use" for what that's worth | 13:18 |

| jackz0r | I'm no windows pundit, but it's part of the environment I work in | 13:24 |
| Aji-Daha1a | JonnyDY2J: nope, should be installed out of the box | 13:24 |
| Aji-Daha1a | jackz0r: same here, but I haven't agreed with your claims yet :p | 13:24 |
| faileas | JonnyDY2J: nano comes built in with a default install. its REALLY simple too | 13:24 |

| Gnea | mpc: as long as your hardware supports it, it will tell you the temperature of your cpu and how fast the fans are spinning | 13:32 |
| faileas | Gnea: i have a box which lm-sensors often reports to be running at a nice warm 200 degrees c ;p | 13:33 |

| rccu | th4nx mate w0rx now | 13:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tyta, The simplest, is to get a card known to handle that well and not one that has to use ndiswrapper and all of that mess | 13:59 |
| RUN351 | My keyboard and mouse are disable, what can I do? I'm at the root@desktop in recovery mode. | 13:59 |
| rccu | RUN351: did you just update the xorg-server? | 13:59 |

| RUN351 | no i did not, i uninstall policykit cause I was having problems with unrar asking me for a password every time I used it. | 14:00 |
| s0u][ight | Lunatikbunnie, build from source | 14:00 |
| s0u][ight | the debian way | 14:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sagar, you can try #compiz to try and tweek it up | 14:00 |
| fosco_ | Lunatikbunnie: yes, but compiling manually, it's hard and not recommended | 14:00 |
| Lunatikbunnie | s0u][ight, im actually using KernelCheck, is that alright? | 14:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tyta, Isnt that what I said.. you have windows based hardware.. it should work fine in windows.. | 14:01 |
| Lunatikbunnie | because im going for 2.6.27.10, but its going to upgrade me to 2.6.28 | 14:01 |
| s0u][ight | dunno i manage my kernels manually | 14:01 |
| tyta | oh now i understand | 14:01 |
| Chousuke | RUN351: er... isn't PolicyKit a core component? | 14:01 |
| tyta | so using wicd wouldnt help? | 14:01 |
| Lunatikbunnie | i'm using a netbook, and the webcam isnt being very friendly with ubuntu | 14:01 |

| RUN351 | chousuke: can i move also my webbrowser booksmark? | 14:31 |
| Stormx2 | IrishDavid: It is. Don't try skype with pulseaudio. It doesn't work. To date the best solution for making it work is to temporarily suspend pulseaudio when using skype. Personally I just don't use pulseaudio at all. It's not ready | 14:31 |

| joosep_ | hey, dows firestarter forward the dns automatically? | 14:36 |
| Accidus | I'm having problems with my wired connection in Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1545. Submitting data and continual connections don't work properly. Noteable examples: Gmail disconnects frequently, browsing through Facebook fails repeatedly, posting stuff to forums/pastebin is problematic/impossible, I cannot login properly to bank accounts. Everything works fine on Vista, so my ISP claims it's not his fault. When I'm using a WiFi wireless connection, | 14:36 |
| Accidus | everything seems to work fine. I've tried disabling the IPv6 module, but to no avail (this should only affect DNS lookup anyway, and that works fine). I've tried booting from CD, but the problem persists. Any ideas what I should do further? | 14:36 |
| Chousuke | RUN351: you should replace your sources.list with something that works | 14:36 |

| RUN351 | chousuke: i have tried this alread and the main server from DE is not updated | 14:37 |
| jim_p | Accidus, use static ip and remove network manager since you are on wired | 14:37 |
| RUN351 | chousuke: 8.10 intrepid | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | luis_, Is ubuntu installed on its own partition or did you (ugh) use wubi | 14:37 |
| Chousuke | RUN351: you need to run sudo aptitude update | 14:37 |
| luis_ | on its own partition | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ty | 14:37 |
| Chousuke | RUN351: and make sure you have NO errors in your sources.list file | 14:37 |
| Chousuke | the "i" problem was because you had some error in it | 14:38 |
| Stormx2 | Accidus, if possible, try temporarily using a wired connection, just to see if the problem lies with wifi, or somewhere else... | 14:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RUN351, updated to what, the latest version of some package? | 14:38 |
| luis_ | actually i did left the rest of my disk for ubuntu around 105 Meegas | 14:38 |
| Accidus | jim_p: How do I go about that? | 14:38 |
| Accidus | Stormx2: The problem is /not/ with WiFi | 14:39 |
| Stormx2 | Accidus: Oh sorry, you're already on wired | 14:39 |
| RUN351 | chousuke: thanks for your help......I BBL :) | 14:39 |
| Stormx2 | My bad. | 14:39 |
| Accidus | stormx2: As surprising as it sounds, WiFi works fine :) | 14:39 |
| Stormx2 | Accidus, might possible be an IP conflict or something. as jim_p said, maybe use a static IP | 14:39 |
| assistance | Am running Ibex from a fresh install. Tried to bring up my wireless card in terminal by ifconfig wlan0 up and i look at the syslog and i get the error rt2x00pci_initialize: error - IRQ 255 allocation failure (error -22). any assistance greatly appreciated. | 14:39 |
| Accidus | Stormx2: As I said, I'm not sure I know how I can got about that. | 14:39 |
| jim_p | Accidus, remove network manager the usual way, and install gnome-network-admin. the rest is pretty straight forward if you can assure a static ip | 14:39 |

| asea168 | .tar.gz is ~~~ | 14:41 |
| luis_ | so not a clue or how to fix this guuys??? | 14:41 |
| Accidus | jack_sparrow: So basically you're saying I just need a router? | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grab, I would create two ext3 one / root and one /home | 14:41 |
| predat0r | only geeks here | 14:41 |
| Stormx2 | Grab, There are a couple of automatic options in the installer. Can't you use them | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Accidus, No, I added a supported network card to my pcmcia slot | 14:41 |
| Accidus | Ah, so you're saying the problems are with the Marvell driver? | 14:42 |
| Accidus | <--- Jack_sparrow | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Accidus, It was a quick easy solution for me.. | 14:42 |
| Grab | Stormx2: my hard disk has 2 partitions and there is 30 GB of free space between them 2 | 14:43 |
| Grab | what should i select_ | 14:43 |
| Grab | ? | 14:43 |
| Accidus | That's an option. | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Accidus, Plus the pcmmmcia now has a true hardware modem so I can dialup if needed for faxes and such | 14:43 |
| Accidus | I'm still not entirely convinced it's the driver though. I'm still skeptic about my ISP's claims | 14:43 |
| Stormx2 | Grab: Is there an option like "use free space"? | 14:43 |
| kaneda_ | is firefox 3.1 available in the repositories? | 14:44 |

| kaneda_ | wonder what people on ubuntuforums are referring to then | 14:45 |

| ubottu | grab, please see my private message | 14:49 |
| Stormx2 | It's as easy if not easier than the Windows install process. | 14:49 |
| Stormx2 | Windows won't resize your partitions for you, and it'll overwrite any existing bootloaders, etc | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grab, it is very easy if you use the whole partition like windows does.. at least we setup dual boot, windows wont do that | 14:50 |
| Slart | ngh.. I wish linux would stop setting what windows does as some kind of goal.. | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 14:51 |
| Grab | Jack_Sparrow: are you telling me to use 1 partition only? | 14:51 |
| Grab | no swap one ? | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grab, nope, just that the install is quicker and easier if you wdo that, certainly not any better | 14:51 |
| ubuntu | How do I reconstruct my sw raid0 from livecd? | 14:51 |
| Stormx2 | Slart, a lot of the time, windows offers a very realistic and achievable goal. Linux goes for what Windows does well and improves what it fails on. | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !raid > ubuntu | 14:52 |
| ubottu | ubuntu, please see my private message | 14:52 |
| Slart | Stormx2: well.. that's one way to see it, agreed | 14:52 |
| gui_ | no | 14:52 |
| Grab | Jack_Sparrow: excuse me if i insist: in the installer i selected: use free space. so it created a whole ext3 partition. is it ok? shouldnt it create a swap partition as well ? | 14:53 |
| ganesh | where are gtk themes stored in file system? | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grab, yes, swap and we recommend a separate /home as well | 14:53 |
| Stormx2 | A lot of Windows software is miles ahead of Linux software. IIS, EAC, Office 2007, Photoshop, etc. | 14:53 |
| jim_p | ganesh, /usr/share/themes | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grab, Just like two of us suggested. | 14:53 |
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow: that was totally useless. | 14:53 |
| jim_p | Stormx2, seriously, do you even think IIS as a good piece of software? | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu, I advise pppeople NOT to use these soft/fake raid solutions.. to avoid what you are going through now | 14:54 |
| jim_p | Stormx2, i agree about Photoshop and Office, but what is EAC? | 14:54 |
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow: I'm not using fakeraid. At what point did I say that. | 14:54 |
| ganesh | jim_p:where ll gdm themes be?is it possible to extract picture from gdm themes? | 14:55 |
| Grab | thanks everybody for help | 14:55 |
| Stormx2 | jim_p: I administrated a site that was using 120TB of bandwidth monthly. Apache couldn't cut it, not even close. nginx we eventually settled on, but IIS was more stable and such. It's just the windows transition would be too great. | 14:55 |
| Grab | bye | 14:55 |
| Stormx2 | jim_p, Exact Audio Copy | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu, if you were using a true hardware raid you would not be having this discussion | 14:55 |

EVERYTHING IS ALLRIGHT. So then I choose 'install ubuntu', go tru the steps.. However, when it is finish, im only in the livecd-mode.. And in the notification area there is this message:'crash, sorry the program Ubiquits closed unexpectedly' | 15:12 |
| carsten | dft: I'll have a look at that too , thx :) | 15:12 |
| b0b0 | dft... how do i install latest driver for Intel Pro Wireless 4965 A/B/G/N ? | 15:13 |
| HellFire-Au | anyone got a minute to help me with dhclient? when i setup a network bridge it fails to work showing no dhcpoffers found, although it works fine with the bridge removed | 15:13 |
| Mejborg | Anyone who can help me? | 15:14 |
| dft | b0b0: one sec | 15:14 |
| psicobra | Mejborg, whats the problem | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psicobra, look up | 15:15 |
| psicobra | just have | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mejborg, from live session you click install and it crashes? | 15:15 |
| Stormx2 | psicobra: Read up | 15:15 |
| psicobra | Mejborg, you installing from live cd? | 15:16 |
| dft | b0b0: what does run 'lspci' from a terminal | 15:16 |
| b0b0 | hold on | 15:16 |
| dft | wow, I need coffee | 15:16 |
| Mejborg | jack, yep, i tried that too.. And the same happens - i end up in the livecd-mode | 15:16 |
| b0b0 | dft.. a alot | 15:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mejborg, the installer never runs? | 15:16 |
| psicobra | Mejborg, but the live enviroment works fine? | 15:16 |
| Stormx2 | b0b0: You know that aircrack-ng doesn't necessarily support your card, even if your card works normally, right? | 15:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mejborg, Is this a Dell or HP by chance | 15:16 |
| b0b0 | yeap | 15:17 |
| b0b0 | only in 8.10 | 15:17 |
| Mejborg | psicobra - yes, the live environment works fine | 15:17 |
| dft | Stormx2: ty for that injection, I'm not all familiar with aircrack-ng | 15:17 |
| b0b0 | 8.04 at least can dump | 15:17 |
| Mejborg | jack - what do you mean? :) | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | majnoon, what hardware | 15:17 |
| Mejborg | Jack, no - its an Acer Travelmate 2400 | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sorry majnoon | 15:17 |
| psicobra | and when you click install did you erase all hard drive partitions ? | 15:17 |
| b0b0 | dft... ths is what im using.. 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) | 15:18 |
| Mejborg | Yes, it said that.. In the partioning step i choosed 'guided - use entire diske' | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | b0b0, we discourage discussion on aircrack in here, they have their own channel.. a bit slow, but it is still there | 15:18 |
| dft | Mejborg: try the alternate install cd, I had to do this to bypass some initiall video problems with the installer | 15:19 |
| b0b0 | owh | 15:19 |
| psicobra | dft i get the ipression he has already done that | 15:19 |
| OperaUserX | Hi, I'm having problems getting VLC to output video to screen 1 in fullscreen mode (video is opened on screen 0 instead). It worked in Ubuntu 8.04 and now I can't get it to work in 8.10 | 15:19 |
| b0b0 | i think better if i stick here since dft hardly try to help me :-) | 15:20 |
| b0b0 | hope u dont mind | 15:20 |
| Mejborg | dft: sorry, but dont know exactly what that disk is.. I have just downloaded the 'normal' ubuntu 8.10 and burned it | 15:20 |
| psicobra | Mejborg, there are different options one is live cd the other is an alternative install cd | 15:21 |
| dft | Mejborg: the "alternate" install doesn't use the graphical installer | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | b0b0, please take it to pm with him.. thanks | 15:21 |
| b0b0 | Jack_Sparrow, will try | 15:22 |
| psicobra | Mejborg, what country are you in | 15:22 |
| jackmcbarn | i cant hear anything from my right speaker/headphone on ubuntu. it works when i use a livecd though | 15:22 |
| Mejborg | dft: aha.. So i can just download the alternative cd from ubuntu.com and then burn it? | 15:22 |
| psicobra | yes | 15:22 |
| dft | Mejborg: exacte | 15:23 |
| OperaUserX | Anyone been able to get VLC to output to screen 1 in fullscreen mode in 8.10 (Nvidia) ? | 15:23 |
| test34 | Anyway to downgrade to 8.04 from 8.10? | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test34, nope | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !downgrade | 15:23 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 15:23 |
| test34 | thanks Jack.. I guess I'll have to reinstall | 15:24 |
| DarkKnight | Stormx2; so did you come across anything | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test34, You can try and save /home | 15:24 |
| saler | :) | 15:24 |
| Mejborg | dft + psicobra: great! I try to do that then.. thanks a lot | 15:24 |
| jackmcbarn | so why wouldnt my right speaker work? | 15:24 |
| Stormx2 | DarkKnight: Yahoo released a linux version of yim back in 2003, but it doesn't look worth the effort | 15:24 |
| dft | Mejborg: gl | 15:24 |
| psicobra | Mejborg, good luck | 15:24 |

| test34 | Jack_Sparrow, I have /home on a separate partition .. I just didn't want to have to reinstall all the programs manually | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DarkKnight, skype works very well for me too | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 15:26 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:26 |
| jim_p | what do i do when a package requires the x version of another package and i already have y version of it installed?? y version is newer than x | 15:26 |
| DarkKnight | Stormx2, Jack_Sparrow; but then i can't use yahoo isn't it...i wanted to use the video/audio support for yahoo account | 15:27 |
| jim_p | i use a local repo for all the .debs that i get from the net and i always use apt for installation | 15:28 |
| OperaUserX | I need to get VLC to output to another screen (TV) in fullscreen mode? The screen is there and correctly configured. | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darkham, there is supposed to be some plugin for pidgin, but I have not tried it | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, Local repo, or official supported repos | 15:29 |
| gabriela | hello | 15:29 |
| gabriela | could you please help me with picasa, how can i show only pictures with no album? | 15:29 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, i do have a local repo. local as in "on my drive" and i maintain it daily! | 15:29 |
| DarkKnight | Stormx2, Jack_Sparrow; isn't it possible for a yahoo account | 15:29 |
| gabriela | i mean pictures which aren't in any album | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, But the source of those debs is my question, where did they come from | 15:30 |
| rueffer | i have an ipod that will not work with any of the compatible software programs available. does anyone know how to open your ipod to access your music | 15:30 |
| OperaUserX | gabriela: This is Ubuntu support channel, not google | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ipod | 15:30 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 15:30 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, from online sites. eg the flashplayer deb or the wbar deb | 15:30 |
| kaneda_ | !RockBox | 15:30 |
| ubottu | rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 15:30 |
| rueffer | thank you | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, right, unsupported repos | 15:31 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, true. | 15:31 |
| x1250 | gabriela, is this what you need? http://www.geeksontour.com/showme/picasa/pic312_singlepicture.cfm | 15:31 |
| gabriela | OperaUserX, is there any google support channel? | 15:31 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, can i be more specific? | 15:31 |
| alex_sleiborg | Hey. I've got problems with my wlan, it used to work. And know it suddenly can't find any wireless network at all? | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, which leads to broken dependencies and the types of problems you are now going to have and probably a really broken system at the next upgrade | 15:31 |
| blueacid | alex_sleiborg, you on a laptop or desktop? | 15:32 |
| alex_sleiborg | blueacid: laptop | 15:32 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, wait to give you a clue | 15:32 |
| blueacid | alex_sleiborg, and if on a laptop, is there any hardware switch to adjust the wlan? on my thinkpad, Fn+F5 is the wireless lan power switch. Look for one of those; it might be that the hardware is turned off | 15:32 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, i put the wbar deb in there, that as all apps has dependencies. using the local repo and apt i managed to install wbar and its dependencies at once with apt-get install wbar | 15:33 |
| jim_p | ok so far? | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, understood.. | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, but doing that will brealk other things | 15:34 |
| DarkKnight | Stormx2, Jack_Sparrow; isn't it possible for a yahoo account | 15:34 |
| alex_sleiborg | blueacid: You have might a point there. I'll tjek that out | 15:34 |
| sharperguy | If I delete my .wine folder (and hence get rid off all the installed applications), how do I get rid of all the entry's in the Wine->Programs menu? | 15:34 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, what can it break since apt is aware of it?! i do not compile from source! | 15:34 |
| jim_p | sharperguy, alacarte | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, If you change a source and still use apt-get, you can still trash your system.. seriously | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !debian | 15:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 15:34 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, i did not change a source! | 15:35 |
| kiasanth | anyone know how to make this work with filename with spaces in them? md5sum `find . -type f | awk '/.\// { print substr($0, 3) }'` >DEBIAN/md5sums | 15:35 |
| sharperguy | jim_p, menu editing doesn't work the same for the wine->Programs bit... It seems to be generating the from somewhere so it wont let you edit/delete them | 15:35 |
| gabriela | x1250: nope :-( | 15:35 |
| blueacid | Has anyone had the problem when a rogue program can essentially freeze Ubuntu? I just had to reboot thanks to exaile | 15:36 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, i just put them in a local folder, generate a packages.gz, and install them through apt. dont ask me to explain how do i generate the packages.gz list! | 15:36 |
| psicobra | i can't believe how well compiz-fusion is running on the lappy with a nasty intel card | 15:36 |
| blueacid | X completely slowed down, mouse movements were delayed by 30 secs, audio playback was stuttering, system didn't respond to CTRL+ALT+F1 or Ct+alt+backspace - had to hold power button and reboot. | 15:36 |
| blueacid | psicobra, same here - my laptop's ATI 7500 runs smooth as silk! | 15:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, I am not asking you how to generate the list, just telling you why you have a problem | 15:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | blueacid, I have one of those too.. antique | 15:37 |
| sharperguy | jim_p, or not? Wasn't working on a different computer anyway... | 15:37 |
| kiasanth | jim_p: generate a package list for your repos with apt-ftparchive generate apt-ftparchive.conf, assuming that was a question hehe | 15:37 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, but apt is aware of it! why would it make a problem? everything is packaged to a deb | 15:38 |
| psicobra | blueacid, whats funny is this laptop with vista on it won't handle aero witch has no where near the effects | 15:38 |

| jc-denton | next time i install windows server | 15:39 |
| jc-denton | so two questions | 15:39 |
| jc-denton | to what shall i change the /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:39 |
| jc-denton | and | 15:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, How do you know what the debs you got from an outside source were designed to be run on | 15:40 |
| Mejborg | .. for the 'normal' alternate version? | 15:40 |
| jim_p | jc-denton, even debian 3 support ended a while ago! please upgrade | 15:40 |
| jc-denton | how do i ensure that my ssh access to the box does not break | 15:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jc-denton, sudo do-release-upgrade | 15:40 |
| minus18_pundit | i cant get my adsl network setup done, anyone out there to help? | 15:41 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, could this .deb not be designed for my system? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP | 15:41 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, it says " .deb for ubuntu 8.04+ " | 15:41 |

| maxbaldwin | smerz: yep. | 15:43 |

| smerz | thankyou sir :) | 15:43 |
| maxbaldwin | sir your welcome. | 15:43 |

| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, ok excuse me if you dont encourage people to do so, i do the same as you. | 15:43 |
| Mejborg | Little question, anyone: If i want to download the alternate version for a normal laptop, 'ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent' is the right one to pick, right? | 15:43 |
| maxbaldwin | freenode is nickserv, so... easier I guess. | 15:44 |
| jim_p | Jack_Sparrow, so, it seems my last resort is to remake a .deb? | 15:44 |
| blueacid | Mejborg, yep go for it - that's right | 15:44 |
| blueacid | Mejborg, unless it's a newer laptop and you want 64 bit | 15:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, Build from source... yep | 15:44 |
| blueacid | Mejborg, but 32 bit will run fine on a 64 bit processor, so you'll be fine with that, fire up that torrent client! | 15:44 |
| Mejborg | blueacid: great, thanks! | 15:44 |

| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 15:52 |
| kiasanth | unop: example: 602ecb4bd0d6507d917c15ed4cdca976 DEBIAN/control | 15:52 |
| SlimeyPete | ah, that's the one | 15:52 |
| jc-denton | Jack_Sparrow: it's not recommended to upgrade over ssh | 15:52 |
| Tetracomm | jim_p: How? | 15:52 |
| jc-denton | how else should i upgrade then | 15:52 |
| SlimeyPete | Tetracomm: I think you want uslpash, as above | 15:53 |
| jc-denton | vnc? | 15:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jc-denton, Over ssh.. I must have missed that | 15:53 |

| Tetracomm | Thank you. :) | 15:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jc-denton, Sorry, I was in the middle of another question at that time | 15:53 |
| jc-denton | then it suggests to start another sshd on another port | 15:53 |
| jc-denton | ok | 15:53 |
| jc-denton | but that's not the point | 15:53 |
| unop | kiasanth, find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; | perl -lpe 's[\.\/][]' | 15:53 |
| jc-denton | it will install another kernel also | 15:53 |
| jc-denton | sio | 15:54 |
| jc-denton | so | 15:54 |
| kiasanth | unop: thx, I'll give it a shot | 15:54 |
| jc-denton | how can i ensure that menu.lst file will be correct | 15:54 |
| unop | kiasanth, in any case - you want to make sure as best you can - that filenames do not have spaces in them - this is a debian packaging guideline | 15:54 |
| jc-denton | and that everything works after reboot | 15:54 |
| jc-denton | is there a guide or something on the ubuntu wiki? | 15:54 |
| kiasanth | unop: oh? I didn't realise, I guess I should have read the instructions more carefully | 15:55 |

| Slart | |alex_sleiborg|: you're welcome | 15:59 |
| maxbaldwin | sartak_: how about open a terminal and 'sudo apt-get install opengl' or something? | 15:59 |
| sartak_ | no | 15:59 |
| AslanMad | smerz: kind of (if I got you) ... I want to manage the installed system to connect it to the internet and install required packages that are preventing me from logging in to the system. | 15:59 |
| sartak_ | that dont do it | 15:59 |
| sartak_ | same prob still here | 15:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sartak_, which release are you using? | 16:00 |
| harlemdavvey | hi guys! how can i disinstall my firefox by terminal?? | 16:00 |

| soulchild | Hi all,...is there a way to delete dev-pakage that have been installed with "apt-get build-dep ..." ? | 16:00 |
| smerz | AslanMad: network connectivity was not done automatically on your main system but is done on the live cd? | 16:00 |
| dot | so heello again | 16:00 |
| maxbaldwin | soulchild: do you know the package name? | 16:01 |
| === ewan_ is now known as ewanMCF | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | harlemdavvey, sudo apt-get reinstall..purge..remove application etc | 16:01 |
| soulchild | maxbaldwin: the command was "apt-get build-dep amsn" | 16:01 |
| sartak_ | I am using Ubuntu 8.10 | 16:01 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: sudo apt-get remove firefox might work.. | 16:01 |
| AslanMad | smerz: it's on the LiveCD only. I am using PPPOE, so even though it's possible to login from recovery mode and configure that manually from command line, i still prefer to do it this way though, I will at least be always connected to the internet from LiveCD for immediate support while fixing my issues just in case | 16:01 |
| harlemdavvey | ok i'll try | 16:01 |
| dot | My ubuntu is not playing all episodes of transformers I have on dvd. It leaves the 2 last episodes unplayable | 16:01 |

| sudobash | anyone ever get this wifi chipset working without ndiswrapper? Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 | 16:01 |
| dot | without a problem | 16:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | harlemdavvey, man apt-get for more info on format | 16:02 |
| jc-denton | Jack_Sparrow: yes, but i think i'm not the only person having this problem, so there should be a howto or something | 16:02 |
| Slart | dot: to start things off you can tell us what kind of error messages you get if you try starting the media player from a terminal | 16:02 |
| AslanMad | smerz: Can you help me? | 16:02 |
| Slart | dot: you could also try vlc and see if that makes it work | 16:02 |
| harlemdavvey | guys. firefox tells me about 127kb of space that will be free.. but then, will the terminal remove completely the program? | 16:03 |
| smerz | i dont understand your problem really. Live-CD and the problem ubuntu main installation are on two differrent computers? | 16:03 |
| dot | Slart: vlc is the one kicking out | 16:03 |
| sartak_ | I need python opengl and also python gtkglext ? | 16:03 |
| bastid_raZor | jc-denton; when i do remote work through ssh i start 'screen' first then do work inside that. in case i am disconnected the activities still go inside the screen and do not interrupt. | 16:03 |
| maxbaldwin | soulchild: would " sudo apt-get remove amsn && sudo apt-get purge && sudo apt-get autoremove " work? | 16:03 |
| Slart | dot: ok.. try starting vlc from a terminal and see if you get any error messages when you try watching it | 16:04 |
| smerz | AslanMad: i dont understand your problem really. Live-CD and the problem ubuntu main installation are on two differrent computers? | 16:04 |
| unop | maxbaldwin, probably not | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jc-denton, Over ssh.. http://www.howtoforge.com/upgrade-ubuntu-7.04-server-to-7.10 Is not recommended.. even if many people would like to do it | 16:04 |
| soulchild | maxbaldwin: I don't think so, I check the log in /var/log/dpkg and remove them with a little script , thanks for caring ;) | 16:04 |
| maxbaldwin | sartak_: " sudo apt-cache search <packages> " and " sudo apt-get install <package> " is what I think you want. | 16:04 |
| dot | Slart: libdvdread: Can't seek to block 2733668 | 16:04 |
| dot | [00000287] main playlist: nothing to play | 16:04 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: it might be a "meta package".. ie.. the firefox package depends on another package called firefox3.. which is the real one | 16:04 |
| smerz | AslanMad: or are the 'problem system' and the 'Live CD' ststem running on the same computer? | 16:04 |
| harlemdavvey | i have a sick firefox today.. i don't know what it has.. i did un upgrade with sudo apt-get upgrade and from then.. my firefox is like a zombie.. it doesn't have a homepage, when i change tab, the web address doesn't change.. what do you suggest me to do? i have opera instead, can i use only that program? | 16:05 |
| maxbaldwin | yep, soulchild. | 16:05 |
| AslanMad | smerz: No, I have ubuntu installed on the same laptop that I am using now. I have some problems that prevent me from loging in to the system. So i need to install the lost packages that are causing the problem, so I see the best solution is by using the LiveCD to connect to the internet, then to login to the installed system by doing some steps to mount the installed system to the LIveCD and share internet and use the com | 16:05 |
| Slart | dot: ok.. that's the only error? | 16:05 |
| harlemdavvey | Slart: so what could i do to be sure to remove the real program of firefox? | 16:06 |
| smerz | AslanMad: so your problem is that you locked yourself out of the main system? (you cannot login) | 16:06 |
| AslanMad | smerz: I've done this before, it was really helpful, the guys helped me out with the steps. I remember they were like 3 steps, but I regret not registering them | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | harlemdavvey, the question I have is why? | 16:06 |
| harlemdavvey | i tried to remove "mozilla" and 127MB of space were freed,.. but i don't know what was removed.. | 16:06 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: easiest would be to start up synaptic.. click on installed packages.. and search for firefox... | 16:06 |
| unop | harlemdavvey, try backing up your ~/.mozilla directory to see if anything chanages. close firefox and at a terminal type this. mv ~/.mozilla{,.bak} | 16:06 |
| dot | Slart: check query | 16:06 |
| AslanMad | smerz: yup, and what I need to exactly what I asked, I know there could be otherways, but I want to use this exact way that I tried before | 16:06 |
| jc-denton | Jack_Sparrow: the guide says pretty much what you told me, there is nothing how to ensure that it reboots correctly | 16:07 |
| harlemdavvey | Jack_Sparrow i just want to reinstall firefox because it doesn't work.. it's dead xD | 16:07 |
| sudobash | anyone know if Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 wifi works without ndiswrapper? | 16:07 |
| AslanMad | smerz: so can you help me? I'd really appreciate it. | 16:07 |
| harlemdavvey | SLart: ok i'll try with synaptic, right | 16:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AslanMad, You just need mount instructions? | 16:07 |
| jim_p | what do i need to make a dvd out of some mpeg files? mandvd or devede does a menu as well. i dont want that, i wnt the files to play one after the other | 16:07 |
| smerz | AslanMad: yep i'm just looking it up. can you query me? | 16:07 |
| harlemdavvey | unop: it will be a bit unsafe for me that i'm a new linux user.. | 16:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | AslanMad, that is how you mount a drive, what do you mean by share an internet connection | 16:11 |
| dustman | lo | 16:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joel_, did you install from windows with that wubi thingy | 16:11 |
| Slart | jim_p: I'm not sure what version of devede is in the repos.. I've got 3.11 and there's a button called "menu options".. where I can chose between "show menu at disc startup" or "jump to first title at startup".. setting it to that second choice sounds like it would do what you want | 16:11 |
| joel_ | nope, separate partitions | 16:11 |
| Slart | !info devede | 16:12 |
| ubottu | devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.11-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1462 kB, installed size 3340 kB | 16:12 |

| hayig2000 | hi all, is there an alternative for knotify in kde3.5 for system notifications, cause it crashes a lot | 16:12 |
| AslanMad | Jack_Sparrow: Oh, sorry, it's not what I really need. It's mounted automatically anyway, what I need is simply to have access to the installed system as if I am logged in, where I can for example run programs from it, and install things on it | 16:12 |

| doublewulf | harlemdavvey: learning how to compile a new kernel is probably a good thing, but expect to spend a whole day on it | 16:25 |
| doublewulf | also you might want to do it on a virtual_machine first so you don't break your main install | 16:25 |

| the_squircle | Akiva: that should work.... I'm just re-installing GParted so I can take a look for you and give you some more help. | 16:58 |
| Akiva | Well, I won't be able t log back in when I am in the LiveCD as I use WiFi for my connection | 16:58 |
| doublewulf | akiva: you have to be able to unmount the volume to resize it | 16:59 |
| doublewulf | and if you are using the root partition to boot, you will not be able to unmount it | 16:59 |
| doublewulf | running from the livecd, or a usb-install of some linux | 16:59 |
| Akiva | Right, so LiveCD it is, yes? | 16:59 |
| doublewulf | should allow you to make changes to the partition | 16:59 |
| the_squircle | doublewulf: and by running on the LiveCD, there would be no need to mount the disk partitions | 16:59 |
| lfaraone | Hey, how can I disable IPv6 on my computer? | 16:59 |
| Akiva | Let me try again and log back in later if there are more issues, thanks | 17:00 |
| the_squircle | !ipv6 > the_squircle | 17:00 |
| ubottu | the_squircle, please see my private message | 17:00 |
| doublewulf | the_squircle: I agree, but having a usb-linux is handy as well | 17:00 |
| the_squircle | !ipv6 | lfaraone | 17:00 |
| ubottu | lfaraone: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 17:00 |
| the_squircle | doublewulf: sure is :) | 17:00 |
| rccu | is that "nick, please see my private message" really needed | 17:00 |
| the_squircle | rccu: some people who don't know how to use IRC may not know I guess... | 17:01 |
| DragoraN | lfaraone: anyway, why do you want to do that? | 17:01 |
| doublewulf | rccu: and depending on the client, PMs might not be immediately evident | 17:01 |

| the_squircle | !hello | BlitzWolf | 17:02 |
| ubottu | BlitzWolf: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 17:02 |
| tsrk | What command does ubuntu automatically execute to mount stuff when it's plugged in? I want to replicate that in the command line. | 17:02 |
| xcerca | tsrk mount | 17:02 |
| doublewulf | tsrk: mount | 17:02 |
| the_squircle | tsrk: mount device mountpoint | 17:02 |
| tsrk | It seems to do other stuff with /media/disk though like creating and setting permissions | 17:02 |
| doublewulf | tsrk: also, the default is to load from your fstab file | 17:02 |
| lance | hey | 17:03 |
| tuga3d | anyone try artoolkit with ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| doublewulf | if you want to change the default way a partition or drive is mounted, you can edit your fstab file to do this, but make sure you backup your current fstab file | 17:03 |
| kantxx | hey all. Im tryin to use Deluge bittorrent and its really lagging my system but its not using too much cpu. its even slowing down the net.. its only downloading @ 20kb/s | 17:03 |
| lance | anybody from china | 17:03 |
| tsrk | ah, fstab looks like what i need | 17:03 |
| tsrk | thanks | 17:03 |
| Grab | hey guys i have 850 mhz cpu and 256 mb ram: should i use swap partition? how big? | 17:03 |
| xcerca | grab , YES | 17:03 |
| Grab | on ubunutu 8.10 | 17:03 |
| Grab | how much | 17:04 |
| the_squircle | Grab: swap should be 1.5 times as big as your real memory | 17:04 |
| doublewulf | Grab: yes, usually double the size of your ram is good | 17:04 |
| xcerca | i would say 2 gb would be plenty | 17:04 |
| the_squircle | !cn | lance | 17:04 |
| ubottu | lance: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 17:04 |
| Grab | i have 256 mb => so i should have 512 mb swap | 17:04 |
| the_squircle | Grab: sounds right | 17:05 |
| doublewulf | Grab: about that is good, yes | 17:05 |
| Snupt | hm. How to remember the possition of windows in the gnome? | 17:05 |
| ameed | Hello Everyone i installed ubuntu from windows vista and dedicated 30GB for Ubuntu use and am trying to increase the amount , anybody can help ?? | 17:05 |
| the_squircle | ameed: boot to the LiveCD, use the partitioner to shrink Vista and add more room for Ubuntu | 17:05 |
| xcerca | ameed , thats right | 17:05 |
| Grab | the bigger the swap partition the faster it will be ? | 17:06 |
| doublewulf | I concur with the_squircle and xcerca | 17:06 |
| ameed | Will this effect any data stored on Vista | 17:06 |
| the_squircle | Grab: not necessarily | 17:06 |
| the_squircle | ameed: nope | 17:06 |
| doublewulf | Grab: no | 17:06 |
| DougEdith | ameed: i would still back up the data, just n case | 17:06 |
| the_squircle | Grab: the larger it is, the slower disk access will be. there is a sweet spot between 1.5 and 2 times your physical memory. | 17:06 |
| doublewulf | actually, I beleve if you make it too large you can slow your ststem down | 17:06 |
| ameed | Finally i got rid of Microsoft products , i love you guys :) | 17:06 |
| the_squircle | ameed: I agree with DougEdith | 17:07 |
| the_squircle | ameed: we love you too :p | 17:07 |
| doublewulf | because hard drives are inherently much slower than RAM | 17:07 |
| ameed | hehe :) | 17:07 |
| doublewulf | swap is usually used for programs that are idle | 17:07 |
| x1250 | the_squircle, the larger, the slower? from where did you get that? It shouldn't matter at all. | 17:07 |
| granger | and ram is much slower than cpu's built-in cache | 17:07 |
| ameed | One more question , some friend recommnding me to use openSUSE 11 instead of Ubuntu does any one agree on that case? | 17:08 |
| joe_ | anyway to get netfix on ubuntu? | 17:08 |
| the_squircle | x1250: If there is more swap space being used, more disk reads and writes need to be used, and normal (root) filesystem access will be slowed | 17:08 |
| the_squircle | ameed: I used to use OpenSuSE 11... and I like Ubuntu much better... but OpenSuSE is much better from a corporate environment standpoint | 17:08 |
| granger | can you imagine that a cpu has 4 gb cache? | 17:08 |
| dft | ideally, with the cost of ram these days, swap would be best served from a ramdisk | 17:08 |
| x1250 | the_squircle, yeah, but thats not what you said. You related the swap size with speed, and there is no relation in that. | 17:08 |
| SiVA_ | hi | 17:08 |
| the_squircle | granger: what is it, and where can I get it? | 17:08 |
| the_squircle | !hello | SiVA_ | 17:09 |
| ubottu | SiVA_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 17:09 |
| granger | in your dream | 17:09 |
| the_squircle | x1250: I related swap size with disk access speed.... rightfully so. | 17:09 |
| Grab | guys i ran the installer for ubuntu 8.10, and it partitioned all my free space as a single ext3 partition: why didnt it create swap? will it use a swap file.. ? | 17:09 |
| ameed | the_squircle: mean if planning to use it as a server correct | 17:09 |
| doublewulf | x1250: no, what he said was that increasing your swap partition will not make it faster, if anything it will slow down because of the extra disk-rws | 17:09 |
| SiVA_ | I just installed ubuntu. My intel 2200bg card isn't working. I looked at dmesg and it says "radio frequency kill switch is on... must be disabled for wireless to work". But it is off.. I tried it off and on but still no go | 17:09 |
| Maggie | I am not able to use flashdrive on my pc...I use Hardy plz help! | 17:10 |
| ameed | one more thing , is it possible to access the data on Windows while am in ubuntu ? | 17:10 |
| the_squircle | ameed: I'd trust Ubuntu more as a server... but if you're in a business or have a large support group, I'd use OpenSuSE... if you want to have more fun with Linux (and better stability, better support) use Ubuntu | 17:10 |
| the_squircle | ameed: Sure is! It should mount automagically | 17:10 |
| the_squircle | the_squircle: if not, it'll show up in the "computer" window in Nautilus. | 17:10 |
| ameed | even if both on the same HD | 17:10 |
| doublewulf | ameed: you might need to install ntfs support | 17:10 |
| the_squircle | that was for ameed^ | 17:10 |
| ameed | where do i install that | 17:10 |
| the_squircle | ameed: yes | 17:10 |
| Maggie | I am not able to use flashdrive on my pc...I use Hardy plz help! | 17:10 |
| ameed | how do i get it | 17:10 |
| ameed | ? | 17:10 |
| the_squircle | ameed: it should be installed by default | 17:10 |

| the_squircle | Maggie: type "mount" in the terminal and paste the output to a pastebin | 17:11 |
| ameed | ? | 17:11 |
| the_squircle | ameed: Try mount /dev/sda1 (or whatever partition it is) /mnt | 17:11 |
| doublewulf | ameed, do you know how to use apt-get? | 17:11 |
| ameed | ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '-': No such file or directory | 17:12 |
| ameed | Please type 'ntfs-3g --help' for more information. | 17:12 |
| jimdog | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/??1 /mnt/??1 is the command | 17:12 |

| xcerca | anybody familar with google's repo ? | 17:12 |

| tuccha2 | ? | 17:16 |
| jimdog | there's 2 interfaces in ifconfig, ath0 and eth0 | 17:16 |

| unop | drurew, sudo ssh ?? that's silly | 18:29 |

| Symmetria | does anyone here happen to know what the absolute maximum tcp window size I can set on a linux box is | 18:29 |
| Akiv1 | But for the life of me I cannot grow/expand sda1/root. GParted acts like there are two highlighted partitions, one is root (which cannot expand) and the other green area contains my swap, the extra 5 gigs and /home | 18:29 |
| jemark | soren_schantz: it is normal that gnome key ing likes ur to login first and you have to have the key ring password the same as your user login password. | 18:29 |
| Akiv1 | Anyone care to assist me? | 18:29 |
| DasEi | Akiv1: what happens if you try ? | 18:29 |
| jemark | soren_schantz: solution is to delete ur keyring password | 18:29 |

| YogiBear | exit | 19:03 |
| fosco_ | Tobias92: if you want error messages logged too you have to redirect error_output and not standard_output | 19:03 |
| spadewarrior | hi. I'm having trouble getting my m-audio 44 working. i get the login sound but no sound anywhere else.. any ideas as to how to configure pulseaudio for this? | 19:03 |
| fosco_ | man bash for that | 19:03 |
| Tobias92 | fosco_, I'm pretty sure it writes to stdout (homebrew program) | 19:03 |
| jarco | how can i see what device linux is using to make the mic working. It is working on the sound recorder but not in teamspeak | 19:04 |
| Guest11318 | shame, i remember buying one of those back in 2001/2 | 19:04 |
| guntbert | Roconda: I don't understand what you mean by 'debug my kernel into a text file' | 19:04 |
| Geezle | I need a hand setting the refresh rate for my new monitor. The correct settings of 60Hz and 75Hz show in the X server settings, but they won't pass to the monitor resolution settings, so I'm stuck with 50Hz or 51Hz. What am I missing?? | 19:04 |
| Geezle | I've been messing with my xorg.conf trying to sort it out, but I'm having a hard time getting my head around how it works | 19:05 |
| kjeska | Ok thanks...Guest11318 | 19:05 |
| Roconda | guntbert: well, like getting syslog into debug mode | 19:05 |
| xarchie | Geezle, are the refresh rates commented out | 19:05 |
| Geezle | xarchie: well at the moment I'm back to the default (mostly empty) xorg.conf | 19:06 |
| guntbert | Tobias92: to append you need '>>', else it overwrites | 19:06 |
| pkodon | mrwes: Well, that's interesting. The link I got links to the chapter 1 installer, has only one comment, and is rated "garbage". | 19:06 |
| Geezle | so nothing commented out | 19:06 |
| xarchie | Geezle, can you use pastebin to paste your xorg conf | 19:06 |
| Geezle | sure, just a minute | 19:06 |
| Tobias92 | guntbert, neither gives me any output | 19:06 |
| Guest11318 | I seem to have lost the menus (applications, places, system) from the panel at the top of my desktop, does anyone know how I get them back | 19:06 |
| pkodon | mrwes: I have the Anthology CD, which is all 6 chapters. | 19:06 |

| Slim | there is no cd in my drive either | 19:08 |
| Tobias92 | guntbert, yep. But I've got the answer now, I need to redirect SIGINT to exit with 0 | 19:08 |
| Guest11318 | ok, you have installed it | 19:09 |
| Guest11318 | what's your PC spec | 19:09 |
| Leon | Slim: Did you check what is taking so much memory in the system monitor? | 19:09 |
| Geezle | here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/99752/ | 19:09 |

| Slim | HacKBoZ there is a few things using alot | 19:10 |
| xarchie | Geezle, did you try the live cd first? | 19:10 |
| xarchie | Geezle, if you did what was the refresh rate like in that | 19:11 |
| Geezle | the live CD? | 19:11 |
| Geezle | like the one that came with the monitor? | 19:11 |
| zakidine | someone knows how i can activate the 3d with my Nvidia geforce 4000mx | 19:11 |
| xarchie | Geezle, to install ubuntu | 19:11 |
| Geezle | or the live Ubuntu CD? | 19:11 |
| Geezle | ah, no I didn't try that | 19:11 |
| potatoess | problem: atheros driver ok, but not appear with ifconfig. atheros 802.11 .. i dont know more | 19:12 |
| guntbert | Slim: linux always uses almost all available memory, it is different from windows | 19:12 |
| xarchie | Geezle, what you can do is try dpkg-reconfigure xorg or xsever-xorg | 19:12 |
| xarchie | Geezle, that may give you a better xorg file to work with | 19:12 |
| Geezle | ok, I'll give it a shot...I'm still trying to get my head around the whole xorg file | 19:13 |

| marko-_-- | Jack_Sparrow, it would be cool if ubottu could automaticly detect the sentence "rm -rf /" and warn you. It would be cool if it could explain what excatly it does so that the users know what it does and aren't freaking out when they see "rm" somewhere in a tutorial or so | 19:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > deany, | 19:19 |
| Geezle | xarchie: Ok, that left me with a very bare looking xorg.conf file http://paste.ubuntu.com/99755/ | 19:19 |

| peepsalot | mkquist, more trouble than it's worth IMO | 19:22 |
| xarchie | Geezle, ok last suggestion you can try is X -configure | 19:22 |
| dtolj | nbeebo: have you loaded a new kernel? | 19:22 |

| Geezle | it's complaining at me that the server is already running? | 19:24 |
| netzsooc | hello, I'm having a trouble with my realtek usb driver... It detects the wireless network, it even says that it connects to it but in fact it doesn't, I mean it does not open any page nor chat nor pidgin | 19:24 |
| peepsalot | mkquist, it just seems to have more issues than 32bit version in my experience. for example there is no 64bit flash, so you need a 32bit wrapper which is very buggy and annyoing | 19:24 |
| netzsooc | what am I missing_ | 19:24 |

| nbeebo | alright | 19:25 |
| netzsooc | and I have no other OS than Ubuntu-Linux | 19:25 |
| xarchie | Geezle, you have to boot into text | 19:25 |
| Geezle | ok, now you're going a little beyond my knowledge | 19:25 |
| wizardxxiii | installed libdvdcss2 and every other lib from videolan, but still no playback | 19:25 |
| Geezle | gotcha | 19:25 |
| peepsalot | mkquist, also it basically uses up more ram, since every pointer takes up 8 bytes instead of 4 | 19:25 |
| Geezle | thanks, if it doesn't work, I'll be back! | 19:26 |
| wizardxxiii | added medibuntu to repository and checked region | 19:26 |

| omshanti | I just added a new user. How do i set it up so that when he logs in to bash he's taken to the gnome desktop? | 19:26 |

| sageb1 | with the noise in this group, scrollback is almost as a bother as mouse on gnome-terminal | 19:26 |

| Phase | jtaji, right, I can't. | 19:28 |
| sageb1 | dunno if rt8187 has a .ko | 19:28 |

| VolVE | hey all, wondering what the most reliable way to mount a directory form 1 Ubuntu server to another is? I've only ever heard that NFS is flaky... :/ | 19:28 |
| Mimi | Phase, have you tried hitting Alt+Ctrl+F or Win+F (forgot what the command is because i changed it from default) | 19:29 |
| Phase | doesn't wotk jtaji | 19:29 |
| xarchie | Phase, what happens when you press alt+f11 or f12 | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dtolj, Not needed for linux to linux.. | 19:29 |
| jtaji | Phase: you might want to turn off compiz, at least temporarily | 19:29 |
| Phase | Mimi it's not full screen (F11) | 19:29 |
| Phase | jtaji, it's not compiz, I don't use it | 19:29 |
| dtolj | Jack_Sparrow: what can i use then? | 19:29 |
| sageb1 | dtolj, if you set up samba correctly. if you got paranoid, and made the samba server password protected, you may have to RTFM several times | 19:29 |
| sageb1 | i did | 19:29 |
| Mimi | Phase, you might have to do that shortcut + F11 a few several times (I know its not full screen because i never put mine in fullscreen, but this thing is the only thing that fixed it for me) | 19:29 |
| Phase | nothing, xarchie | 19:29 |
| sageb1 | and password protected works now | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ohmy > sageb1, | 19:30 |
| netzsooc | I have denied permission | 19:30 |
| sageb1 | before i had it open | 19:30 |
| Phase | I don't have a win key either on the keyboard.. | 19:30 |
| Phase | lol | 19:30 |
| xarchie | Phase, can you move the bottom panel and resize it then | 19:30 |
| dtolj | Jack_Sparrow: is NFS easy to setup? | 19:30 |
| Itaku | if i do apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop will that automatically install kubuntu-desktop? | 19:30 |
| Phase | xarchie, hmm. | 19:30 |
| xarchie | Phase, maybe it will remember it then | 19:30 |

| Phase | (as if it was in full screen) | 19:31 |

| dtolj | Jack_Sparrow: thanks | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 19:32 |
| Itaku | ReloadRepeat: theres a lot of nvidia packages. do apt-cache search nvidia and choose | 19:32 |
| netzsooc | sagebl how do I know my card? | 19:32 |
| sageb1 | netzsooc: use sudo [your root command] | 19:32 |
| xarchie | Phase, what about the top panel | 19:32 |

| Itaku | whats a good irc client other then xchat? | 19:32 |
| Phase | ok now we're getting somewhere... | 19:32 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:32 |

| ThomasRDK | How do i connect to a ubuntu 8.04 server via VNC when the server has no monitor attached? - WITH a monitor connected everything works fine, but the monitor needs to be disabled. I just get a connection error. - I tried SSHing and typing "sudo startx" but got a fatal error. | 19:35 |

| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | 19:36 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 19:36 |
| sageb1 | netszooc: try $ locate rtl8187 and see if a rtl8187.ko pops up | 19:36 |
| Perun | hello everyone | 19:37 |
| Phase | Itaku, If you're in the U.S., Hulu.com has dozens of TV episodes, and movies uploaded.. it's a really nice site. | 19:37 |

| jtaji | Perun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 19:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 19:40 |
| xtwoface | you have to download them via .deb or .rpm packages | 19:40 |
| tritium | sageb1: yep, I noticed. Just a suggestion. | 19:40 |
| yacyac | guys any suggestion in what is to be done about this error buffer i/o error on device sr0, logical block 357904 | 19:40 |

| kaps | my ubuntu partition is seen as unallocated after windows installation ? | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | yacyac: fsck your partition when it is unmounted | 19:40 |
| dtolj | casiope: lol | 19:41 |
| biouser | wow, rezound is a little buggy too! | 19:41 |
| ThomasRDK | jack - what's the alternative to webmin? I need to be able to access the default Ubuntu desktop remotely without a monitor attached to the server | 19:41 |
| yacyac | ActionParsnip... i dont understand | 19:41 |
| sageb1 | so it was s-l-o-w, but after upgrading memory from 512 MB to 2GB, that solved the delay | 19:41 |
| potatoess | i have a problem: atheros card do not appear in ifconfig, i have installed the madwifi-xx.deb. someone can help me ? | 19:41 |
| aldy | hy | 19:41 |
| omerrrico1 | can anyone please help me with a headset problem? my headphones+mike don't work | 19:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ThomasRDK, Read that factoid.. the last word or two | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sageb1: you can run 32bit OS on 64bit cpu | 19:41 |
| yacyac | i will need to format my whole harddisk ? | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | yacyac: boot to livecd, unmount all partitions and check them | 19:41 |
| sageb1 | action, yes, i realized it wasnt the 32 bits | 19:41 |
| iLogic | say.. is it best to use nvidia's driver that comes with ubuntu 8.10 or install envy anyway? | 19:42 |
| ThomasRDK | jack - you referring to ebox? | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ThomasRDK, Ebox.. but still not a good solution | 19:42 |
| carsten_ | Well, back to some real problems ;-) | 19:42 |
| yacyac | ActionParsnip i cant boot into the live cd also... | 19:42 |
| kaps | my ubuntu partition is seen as unallocated after windows installation ? | 19:42 |
| Deep6 | can anyone comment on how lilo seems to survive a windows fixmbr command? | 19:42 |
| biouser | ctrl-alt bacspace ftw with ubuntu sound issues :( | 19:42 |
| Perun | one more question im on windows now would be hard for me to use ubuntu sience i never seen it before? | 19:42 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, have u tried? | 19:42 |
| guntbert | ThomasRDK: I don't know about the whole desktop, but forwarding X via ssh is fine for me | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | yacyac: then its not an ubuntu question | 19:42 |
| carsten_ | I'm trying to install Dru, to make my own dist, i'm getteing errors... | 19:42 |
| ReloadRepeat | grr, ok, still getting the blank screen on boot up (can't see log in, but hear drums) how can I set to vesa drivers? | 19:42 |
| iLogic | sageb1: no, I thought it would be best to ask first.. | 19:42 |
| sageb1 | perhaps lilo uses what's in /boot? | 19:42 |
| yacyac | ActionParsnip i have opensuse install on my hdd.... but when i try to boot the ubuntu cd i get that error | 19:43 |
| Deep6 | sageb1: shouldn't it first the mbr? | 19:43 |
| sageb1 | iLogic, do u have a 8.10 livecd? | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Perun: its fine, just read the screen. you may have teething issues at first. if windows is working fine for you, keep it | 19:43 |
| xarchie | Perun, go to the ubuntu,kubuntu,xubuntu websites they have screen shots | 19:43 |
| ThomasRDK | jack - can't i somehow startup VNC without that monitor attached? | 19:43 |
| kaps | ActionParsnip : my ubuntu partition is seen as unallocated after windows installation ? | 19:43 |
| iLogic | I used to install envy on all previous versions, but seems like ubuntu has a native one now.. so I'm in doubt which one is the best.. | 19:43 |
| iLogic | sageb1: yup | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | yacyac: you need to fsck the partitions, if suse is on another partition you ca\n check it from within suse | 19:43 |
| carsten_ | "destination directory: dru" "abort: HTTP Error 404: Not Found" "/tmp/test.YhI442.x: line 108: cd: dru: No such file or directory" "Installing man pages..." "make: *** doc/: No such file or directory. Stop." | 19:43 |
| sageb1 | deep6, depends on whether it's dualbooting microcruft or other | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kaps: is that what windows says? | 19:44 |
| carsten_ | Is this a problem ? | 19:44 |
| kaps | ActionParsnip: no live cd says | 19:44 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, does the livecd have envy? | 19:44 |
| jackal | ReloadRepeat: in xorg.conf, change the Driver option to Driver "vesa" | 19:44 |
| yacyac | maybe becasue lilo is installed in the mbr.. its creating problem | 19:44 |
| Deep6 | sageb1: it's dual booting XP, but what's entirely weird is that if I have an XP cd in my drive, and DON'T boot into the setup, passes through to windows | 19:44 |
| yacyac | i am trying to install on a laptop | 19:44 |
| sageb1 | or is that an extra ? | 19:44 |
| iLogic | sageb1: never searched it.. why? | 19:45 |
| Deep6 | if I take the cd out, I get a corrupt lilo prompt I think L10IL0 | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kaps: then maybe you messed with your partitions when installing windows | 19:45 |
| sageb1 | deep6, that's ballmer voodoo, it is | 19:45 |
| illmortal | Does anyone know a good .rar extractor? | 19:45 |
| kaps | ActionParsnip: i am restoring grub after installing windows, but am unable | 19:45 |
| Deep6 | and it'll boot into linux | 19:45 |
| tritium | !rar > illmortal | 19:45 |
| ubottu | illmortal, please see my private message | 19:45 |
| jackal | illmortal: unrar | 19:45 |
| mib_b40mse | perun: try the livecd to experience whether Ubuntu is right for you. you dont need to install it until AFTER you decide if you prefer it to Wndows | 19:45 |
| Deep6 | sageb1: concurred, but a necessary evil | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | kaps | 19:46 |

| guntbert | ThomasRDK: try a small step first, is your 2nd pc a linux machine? | 19:46 |
| kaps | ActionParsnip: how can I restore my linux, its very important | 19:46 |
| Deep6 | but rest assured linux outnumbers windows 10 fold in my house | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kaps: then you should have a backup if its very important] | 19:46 |
| sageb1 | and is it a laptop that can boot off USB cos 32GB USB flash drive dongles are on special now | 19:46 |

| illmortal | install just unrar? ok | 19:50 |
| jarco | eldarka2, its related to pulse i had it before | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | kaps: you have learned the hardest way possible why backups are important and their is no reason for it as usb drives are so cheap | 19:50 |
| sageb1 | kaps, if the windows partition isthe only partition created, fdisk can't see uncreated partitions on the empty space | 19:50 |
| omerrrico1 | mib_b40mse - thanks.. but alsa doesn't solve my problem - my headset doesn't seem to work | 19:50 |
| jarco | eldarka2, i try to look for the thing that helped me | 19:51 |

| sageb1 | you could backup a ntfs partition but the 4GB limitations makes dd'ing to a disk larger than the partition fail | 19:55 |

| Mejborg | Hi! I have just installed ubuntu 8.10. Problem: my laptop does not detect the wireless network. I have tried troubleshooting in the help-menu, but im stuck.. Can anyone help me? | 19:57 |
| sageb1 | csc, cos it has usb in its name | 19:58 |
| sageb1 | it's for usb | 19:58 |
| Flannel | paliopaido_tha_g: It'll work on PPCs | 19:58 |
| csc__ | sageb1, well, why that limit? | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Mejborg: run lspci, one line will identify the chipset, you can websearch from there | 19:58 |
| musikgoat|main | csc__: usb disks as in usb external drives? | 19:58 |
| paliopaido_tha_g | and the latest edition for ppc is Feisty Fwan? | 19:58 |
| sageb1 | csc, kernel developers have yet to break the 4GB limit of i86 chips | 19:58 |
| liquiddeux | hello | 19:58 |
| StaticShock | how can i set an app to auto-start when i log into gnome? | 19:58 |
| csc__ | musikgoat|main, yes, usb , external discs.. not only usb keys | 19:58 |
| Itaku | ill install ubuntu on my ps3 when the ps4 comes out :) | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | paliopaido_tha_g: unless you are runing a server or plan to do masses of encoding, 64bit won't benefit you any | 19:58 |
| sageb1 | you need a 64 bit cpu to break it | 19:58 |

| Mejborg | Action: sorry, but how do i run that? | 19:59 |
| StaticShock | great, thanks | 19:59 |
| sageb1 | since 2^32 is about 4GB | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Mejborg: in a terminal | 19:59 |
| paliopaido_tha_g | Action I want to run in it in a ps3...which has a 64bit cell | 19:59 |
| csc__ | sageb1, to break what? | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Mejborg: please tab complete my name so your text is highlighted | 19:59 |
| paliopaido_tha_g | anyway | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !tab | Mejborg | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Mejborg: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:59 |
| paliopaido_tha_g | I will try both | 19:59 |
| sageb1 | csc, the 32 bit limit | 19:59 |

| liquiddeux | can anyone, by any chance, help me get my monitor to be detected by ubuntu/display at the correct resolution? | 20:00 |
| paliopaido_tha_g | thanks | 20:00 |
| paliopaido_tha_g | :) | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | paliopaido_tha_g: you can run a 32bit OS on 64bit CPUs | 20:00 |

| niklaus | how do i view the memory usage of a particular process. In top there are too many process i want to watch only one | 20:00 |
| DasEi | dtolj:you you look in your /etc/bash.bash.rc if there is a line : [-z $ "PS1"] && return ? | 20:00 |
| carsten_ | Anyone how can help, i'm getting this error while executing Dru "./dru: command not found" ? | 20:00 |
| sageb1 | i think under 64 bit linux, you have a 2^64 byte files | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Mejborg: if you websearch for the line identifying your wifi chip you will get some help | 20:00 |
| csc__ | musikgoat|main, but i am currently using an os installed in an usb disc (not key!) | 20:00 |
| deany | system monitor in gnome doesit.. | 20:01 |
| DasEi | carsten: dru? what cmd is that supposed to be ? | 20:01 |
| deany | cant remember the top command tbh.. aint used it for ages | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sageb1: i think its a bit bigger due to how stuff is managed but its still hooj | 20:01 |
| musikgoat|main | csc__: you should stop saying usb disk, its not clear | 20:01 |
| sageb1 | paliopaido, ciao | 20:01 |
| sageb1 | hooj is right | 20:01 |
| musikgoat|main | csc__: usb optical media, or usb hard drive maybe would be better | 20:01 |
| csc__ | musikgoat|main, ok, how do you define the two kind of usb "discs" | 20:01 |
| Grab | hi! | 20:01 |
| TwoD | niklaus, try htop, it's a bit nicer IMHO. Or if you're in gnome, use gnome-system-monitor | 20:01 |
| carsten_ | DasEi: it's dist manager | 20:01 |
| csc__ | ok | 20:01 |
| niklaus | command line | 20:02 |
| csc__ | musikgoat|main, ok, i am using an usb hard drive with ubuntu installed on it, and i booted it from bios... so why the limit in usb-creator.. isnt it the time to let the user decide? | 20:02 |
| TwoD | liquiddeux, what is your gfx card? And which drivers are you using? | 20:02 |
| sageb1 | i dunno. 4GB may be limiting but if you dl a lot of wares, it's best to archive it all offline | 20:02 |
| carsten_ | DasEi: It's Dell's Ubuntu custom dist maker ... | 20:02 |
| niklaus | TwoD, can we collect stats for that process over time | 20:02 |

| Mejborg | action: you mean the line with 'network controller'? The word 'wifi' isnt mentioned.. (yep, my computer knowledge isnt huge) | 20:03 |
| TwoD | liquiddeux, have you tried using the nvidia-settings program? | 20:03 |
| liquiddeux | and I've tried editing my xorg.conf file, and it hasn't helped | 20:03 |
| sageb1 | which process from the command line, nkls? | 20:03 |

| === johnny_ is now known as Guest45022 | ||
| liquiddeux | yeah, TwoD, but it doesn't have an option for my native resolution | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Mejborg: it might not say "wifi", it might say "wireless" or 804.11 | 20:04 |
| sageb1 | ys,prtty sn am gnna shrthnd it all | 20:04 |
| TwoD | liquiddeux, I hear there are problems with detecting stuff (especially dual monitors) on nvidia cards because of closed specs. | 20:04 |
| liquiddeux | which is 1440x900 | 20:04 |
| niklaus | TwoD, anything you know | 20:04 |
| carsten_ | DasEi: Yep, just installed it... | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Mejborg: if you pastebin the entire output I can tell you the line | 20:04 |
| DasEi | could somebody look in their /etc/bash.bash.rc if there is a line : [-z $ "PS1"] && return ? | 20:04 |

| TwoD | liquiddeux, ah ok. Tried forcing it in xorg.conf? (not sure how to do that myself, haven't needed it) | 20:04 |
| KrisWillis | Evening | 20:05 |
| DasEi | carsten: no experience with dru, sorry | 20:05 |
| carsten_ | DasEi: Ok :) | 20:05 |

| liquiddeux | yeah, TwoD; I followed this guide, and it didn't help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | DasEi: yep i got it | 20:05 |
| ohzie | Is there a simple way to add startup programs to gnome without enabling sessions? | 20:05 |
| sageb1 | wait, unzip is part of zip is it? | 20:05 |
| DasEi | ActionParsnip: thx | 20:05 |
| jrib | ohzie: what do you mean by "enabling sessions"? | 20:05 |
| sysdoc | liquiddeux, have you installed nvida-settings? | 20:05 |

| gamla_kossan | hi guys | 20:06 |
| niklaus | do we have manpages for libstdc++ ? where can i install it from. | 20:06 |
| TwoD | niklaus, I think you need a special tool to monitor just a single process, or perhaps find some "filtering and logging" switches in top/htop. But I have no idea really. | 20:06 |
| ohzie | jrib: Just cut that part off the question. Know of any way to add a startup list to gnome? | 20:06 |
| liquiddeux | yeah, it's installed, sysdoc | 20:06 |
| jrib | !startup > ohzie | 20:06 |
| ubottu | ohzie, please see my private message | 20:06 |
| gamla_kossan | what file do I want to edit for login scripts? | 20:06 |
| sysdoc | liquiddeux, are you starting nvidia-settings as root? | 20:06 |
| jrib | gamla_kossan: be more specific | 20:07 |

| DasEi | ActionParsnip: right, it's just a pc hanging, and I try to find out why (stopping at running local scripts rc.local) | 20:07 |
| sageb1 | did the user who asked how to unzip files get that? | 20:07 |
| Mejborg | Action: Okay, just to be 1000% sure. There is a line with: "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)". Is that the line you are talking about? :D | 20:07 |

| jrib | gamla_kossan: if you're using gnome, you can write a small script and then use System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup to call it. ~/.profile otherwise would work otherwise | 20:09 |

| TwoD | liquiddeux, that tutorial was written in 2005, much can have changed since. (the dpkg-reconfigure way should work tho). It doesn't look too outdated at first glance tho. All I've learned from fiddling with xorg.conf is to be stubborn... and read lots and lots of manuals (yes, they are a bit overwhelming and obviously not written for someone who doesn't know half of it already) | 20:09 |
| HomingHamster | DaveEngland, right click, properties | 20:09 |
| gamla_kossan | jrib: ah, .profile would be what I'm looking for. thanks. | 20:09 |

| ikonia | carsten_: if you have no idea how to use version control, or build sotware properly it is not a good idea to mess with development or trunk versions where there are stable downloads available | 20:22 |

| ikonia | ferrum007: why can't you use 5 | 20:25 |
| tritium | sageb1: which is *not* English | 20:25 |
| tgpraveen | exodus_ms: ok. and any one can help me with adhoc network creation | 20:25 |
| ferrum007 | as one of the business related apps I'm bound to doesn't support 5 | 20:25 |

| zakidine | euhhh urgent j'ai un souci la | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | ferrum007, What app? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | sageb1: please just ask your question | 20:25 |
| ferrum007 | then I should go with the sources and do the whole config thing | 20:25 |

| ikonia | ferrum007: thats your call, but I'd try to package it myself if I needed it, it's much easier to maintain that way | 20:26 |
| Rapture | odd, when i log into my server, i see 42% memory usage and 0% swap usage... is this normal? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | Rapture: yup, fine | 20:26 |
| sageb1 | slart, actually it is. people can understand sms speak because english is there first langauge just like your mind is autocorrecting my spelling | 20:26 |
| Rapture | kk | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | ferrum007, Why do you need RPM? | 20:26 |
| ferrum007 | if you don't mind - but can you give me a hint on how to package the thing myself. | 20:26 |
| ikonia | sageb1: intead of arguing about the language, speak english and ask a question | 20:26 |
| ferrum007 | Well what are the other options? | 20:26 |
| sageb1 | i'm arguing? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | sageb1: yes, - please ask your question in english | 20:27 |
| sageb1 | am i arguing, ubottu? | 20:27 |
| ferrum007 | I can have the RPM, the DEB or the sources ... or do I miss something. | 20:27 |

| gazotem | What is the advantage of using Samba to access files from windows rather than a program like Ext2IFS ? Also, if I am running a dual boot (XP / 8.10 intrepid) is an alternative to set up a third partition? Essentially my question is what is the best way to go about accessing files from both Operating Systems. | 20:29 |
| sageb1 | i have to install a firewall? | 20:29 |
| ferrum007 | hmm... Well I don't find any DEB Packages - neither source nor prebuilt on mysql.com ... | 20:29 |
| Mejborg | ActionParnship: thanks alot! | 20:29 |
| ikonia | sageb1: a firewall is an ip manager really | 20:29 |
| dtolj | why doesn't nautilus-share work in Fedora 9 like in ubuntu | 20:29 |
| Rapture | ActionParsnip: ah, ok. Well I tried HTTPS'ing into my server from my lappy and it says 403: Forbidden... not sure how to fix that | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gazotem: samba will make it appear as a wiindows system sharing folders | 20:29 |
| ikonia | sageb1: so iptables (for example) is not really "a firewall" it's an ip manager that people use as a firewall | 20:29 |
| Rapture | ActionParsnip: on port 631 | 20:29 |
| Sifre | checking for perl_alloc in -lperl... Note (probably harmless): No library found fo | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Rapture: you may have to allow remote cups config | 20:29 |
| sageb1 | would shorewall "fix" my problem then? | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | Wyhiwyl, You can redirect output to a file or to the clipboard with xclip | 20:30 |
| Flannel | dtolj: You'd have to ask the Fedora people (I suggest not phrasing the question the same way, but instead "Why doesn't nautilus-share do X Y and Z?" so it stands on its own (since its unlikely they know its behavior in Ubuntu)) | 20:30 |
| ferrum007 | where would you obtain the mentioned deb for mysql 4 | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: you can use > to redirect to a file | 20:30 |
| ikonia | sageb1: shorewall is a firewall not really an ip manager | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: e.g: ls ~/ > ~/contents-of-home-dir.txt | 20:30 |
| sageb1 | ick | 20:31 |
| ikonia | sageb1: it maybe able to do it, but I'm not %100 certain personally | 20:31 |
| Slart | gazotem: in my experience samba can be a bit on the slow side.. might be a configuration issue though | 20:31 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip, I know, maybe I should have phrased it as you can redirect to a file or if you want to use the clipboard you can use xclip | 20:31 |
| ferrum007 | ikonia: do you maybe have a link on where to find the DEB you've mentioned... as on mysql.com there are none to be found related to the 4.1 | 20:31 |
| Slart | gazotem: but when it comes to working with windows computers I don't know if the alternatives are any better.. but an nfs-client for windows might work | 20:31 |
| sageb1 | i'll go "apt-cache search ip|grep manager" then | 20:31 |
| ceej | hey all, how do I add en_US to locale ? | 20:31 |
| ikonia | ferrum007: ooh really, I thought there where on mysql.com, they may have removed it now as it's old | 20:32 |

| liquiddeux | sageb1: as far as I can tell, no monitor shows up | 20:32 |
| ikonia | sageb1: my personal advice would be to use iptables, as it is excellent, and if your nt confident without a gui, install a gui package for iptables | 20:32 |
| jackal | ikonia, sageb1: shorewall is just a high level way of configuring netfilter, which is the underlying piece of iptables | 20:32 |

I hate it... it's basically like I have no other option as to download the whole source and go the entire long way of configuring, building and installing it this way... it's a shame the programmers of my application were not able to keep their SQL so clean as so that it would work in mysql 5. | 20:33 |

| ikonia | ferrum007: I appriciate your frustration | 20:33 |
| gazotem | Slart: Yeah, the reason I am asking is that nfs-clients have been having an issue with Inodes larger than 128 bytes so I was searching for an alternative. I have never installed Samba, it should be installed from the ubuntu side? | 20:33 |
| HacKBoX | ceej: oh ok | 20:34 |
| jrib | ferrum007: why are you using ubuntu, if you want older software? Why not debian stable for example? | 20:34 |

| iLogic | ikonia: yeah.. it just hangs at 0% | 20:42 |
| jrib | iLogic: on the same install I mean | 20:42 |
| Rapture | iLogic: I have no issues with my 2 boxes... one's a 6800 and the other is an 8800GTS... both work great | 20:42 |
| Slart | tobias: not sure if there is something like that.. you might have to write something yourself in perl/python/whatever.. it's not like it's a everyday operation you do on your shopping list =) | 20:42 |
| jesse` | TwoD: Thanks again. | 20:42 |
| iLogic | jrib: it used to work until hardy, now it just won't | 20:43 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, what did installing the nvidia drivers do? | 20:43 |
| ikonia | riz0n: QMAIL_DIR is normally an environment varible, is this a clean install 8.10 server ? | 20:43 |
| Slart | tobias: but let me search for a bit.. see if I find anything | 20:43 |
| jrib | iLogic: that's wasn't my question :/ | 20:43 |
| riz0n | ikonia: no | 20:43 |
| HacKBoX | annaimkonki: Here is the ps3 iso http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily-live/current/ | 20:43 |
| ikonia | riz0n: have you installed qmail ? | 20:43 |
| iLogic | sageb1: can I get, install and activate them manually? | 20:43 |
| tobias | Slart: ok... it is a very simple operation but i cant find any command for it.. | 20:43 |
| Rapture | ActionParsnip: when I type 'lpstat -p -d' i get back 'no system default destination'... what do i need to do? | 20:43 |
| murre | you guys, I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS the problem is that I would like to have a desktop cube since I found it quite efficiant, how do I do? | 20:43 |
| iLogic | jrib: you asked me to be more specific, how more specific can I get? it just halts at 0% while downloading.. | 20:44 |
| murre | a freind of mine have it | 20:44 |
| jrib | !ccsm | murre | 20:44 |
| ubottu | murre: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 20:44 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, that depends. do u like compiling? | 20:44 |
| annaimkonki | thanks HacKBoX... | 20:44 |
| murre | thanks | 20:44 |
| riz0n | ikonia: NTo my knowledge, qmail is not present on the server. I have Postfix and dovecot | 20:44 |
| Rapture | murre: Download compiz and emerald theme manager | 20:44 |
| jrib | iLogic: have you used envy in the past on this install? | 20:44 |
| DawnLight | hey. i get a kernel panic. something like "VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown block(0,0)" | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | iLogic: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177 | 20:44 |
| ikonia | riz0n: so someone has setup something in your .profile to do with qmail | 20:44 |
| iLogic | jrib: ah, no.. it's a fresh install | 20:45 |
| riz0n | ikonia: in /etc/login.defs should I change the QMAIL_DIR variable to just MAIL_DIR | 20:45 |
| ikonia | riz0n: you need to find out who/why and fix it | 20:45 |
| riz0n | ikonia: well it shows up when I type ANY username in | 20:45 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, when you run locate nvidia do u get the legacy drivers come up? | 20:45 |
| ikonia | riz0n: I wouldn't if you don't use qmail | 20:45 |
| Rapture | !cups | 20:45 |

| ikonia | riz0n: is QMAIL_DIR uncommented in /etc/login.def | 20:45 |
| riz0n | ikonia: yes | 20:45 |
| ikonia | riz0n: comment it back out | 20:45 |
| riz0n | I use Maildir for email systemwide | 20:45 |
| ikonia | riz0n: looks like someone uncommented it by accident | 20:46 |
| carsten_ | ikonia: Just a quick question, when Uck talks about win32 files, it means windows files ? | 20:46 |
| iLogic | sageb1: no legacy.. but several others | 20:46 |
| ikonia | carsten_: I assume so | 20:46 |
| carsten_ | ikonia: I too, thx :) | 20:46 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, is your card in that group of "several others"? | 20:46 |
| riz0n | ikonia: commenting it out fixed it. | 20:46 |
| ikonia | riz0n: super | 20:46 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, r u on a laptop? | 20:46 |
| ikonia | sageb1: we spoke about not using text speak, please don't | 20:47 |
| Slart | !info bbe | tobias, this looks promising.. still needs some work though | 20:47 |
| ubottu | bbe (source: bbe): sed-like editor for binary files. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.2-1 (intrepid), package size 33 kB, installed size 136 kB | 20:47 |
| riz0n | ikonia: I guess if MAIL_DIR veriable isn't set and everything is working fine then i have nothing to worry about. I was just curious because I am the only admin on the system, and this is the first time I have logged in from the console in months and normally i dont see that error from SSH. good to know its nothing major | 20:47 |
| tobias | Slart: ok... i'll try it out | 20:47 |

| TwoD | Is there any tool to show which sectors are occupied by a file on a fat32 FS? Or [preferably] to do the reverse? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | Sifre: open the package manager (synaptic) search for znc and mark it for install | 20:48 |
| Sifre | ? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | riz0n: no problem | 20:48 |
| sageb1 | ilogic, is the 7300gs on that list of several other nvidia cards you brought up with "locate nvidia"? | 20:48 |

| deany | joker512: remove the wine repo from your sources | 20:52 |
| carsten_ | ikonia: Okay, i'll read on then ;-) | 20:52 |
| sageb1 | 192.168.1.1 is the wifi router, 192.168.1.100 is the ip address 192.168.1.1 gives to the rausb0, and 192.168.0.1 is the eth0 connection to 192.168.0.102 | 20:52 |
| deany | This is why you should use the stable one in the ubuntu repo and only use the newer (beta) ones if that doesnt work | 20:53 |
| ikonia | sageb1: #netfilter or #iptables are the correct channels | 20:53 |

| DeadJones | heh, figures | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | HacKBoX, b43, they come with Ubuntu, they just need firmware ( which broadcom refuses to allow Ubuntu to distribute ) to work | 21:27 |

| ortsvorsteher | joe_-: yes | 21:28 |
| joe_- | ortsvorsteher: Then I wouldn't be able to use it, I can't see anything, just CLI | 21:28 |

| Jordan_U | Mejborg, It might not work after upgrading to the next version of Ubuntu and there is a slight possibility that guide won't work at all for Intrepid as it was written for Hardy | 21:36 |
| ortsvorsteher | wesolek: yes, try #wireless | 21:36 |
| HacKBoX | Mejborg: Let's give Jordan_U a try; Open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter' | 21:36 |

| robile | i installed xmms2 over synaptics but there is no GUI - what can i do? :-( | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | HacKBoX, He said earlier that he can't | 21:38 |
| wesolek | guntbert, I was just asking him for the correct name, I don't use this chat very often and I am not as knowledgeable as you all | 21:38 |
| HacKBoX | How do you suppose you have b43-fwcutter fetch the firmware if he can't connect | 21:39 |
| Mejborg | HacKBoX + Jordan_U: hmm.. I dont want to make a big deal out of this. But how should I do it Jordan_U, if I wanted to do it in your way? Because otherwise a guide is more easy to follow.. | 21:39 |
| ohzie | robile, audacious | 21:39 |
| ohzie | robile, it's like xmms but not xmms anymore. | 21:39 |
| Mejborg | HacKBoX: im using a wireless connection | 21:39 |
| === ubuntu is now known as m1ke | ||
| robile | ohzie, do you use it? if so, does it have fade in/out ? and do you know the difference to xmms(1)? | 21:40 |
| guntbert | wesolek: don't worry, nobody is angry - its just so: if you put a nick in front, it is likely that just one person will read your question - whats good in a conversation but bad in the beginning | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | Mejborg, I will post a zip file with all of the firmware files on my website and you will need to copy them to /lib/firmware | 21:40 |

| wesolek | does anybody know a bit about wireless connections? the wireless channel is rather dead :( | 21:44 |

| HacKBoX | Mejborg: When I did it yesterday I didn't have access to the files. No Internet Connection. So I figured out how to do it with what I had | 21:45 |

| HacKBoX | shepherd: When you have a problem with ubuntu it is usually a user error | 21:46 |
| guntbert | wesolek: sorry, I don't have even an idea about your problem - your next step: as you asked a question, and then ortsvorsteher told you to "ask the channel", you should rephrase your question so that it can be understood from others too and omit the nick in fron, so "asking the channel"=all | 21:46 |
| HacKBoX | shepherd, Did you have a problem? | 21:46 |

| komputes | daxroc: yeah, i'm not sure I would recommend that unless you like reinstalling ubuntu often. It's a dirty way of doing it since it is not removable/upgradeable | 22:23 |
| Mejborg | Jordan_U: Crap! What to do then? (if you got the time and patience, after all im just glad the internet works now..) | 22:23 |
| Jordan_U | Aison`, You can use apt-get build-dep | 22:23 |

| Braunne | Slart thanks, I'll try that | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | Mejborg, Ok, you probably just need to update your list of available packages since this is the first time you are connected to the internet, you can do that with System > Administration > Update Manager (which will then also tell you about any available updates) or "sudo apt-get update" | 22:30 |

| loafers | ok i'll login again | 22:33 |
| mkquist | loafers: or you could open system moniter to look-see if its there | 22:33 |
| komputes | nagatzul: can you open a terminal and type in "lsusb" - it will give you a unique number for your device, can you paste that line here | 22:33 |
| Mejborg | Jordan_U.. Ok.. And then afterward i need to type "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter", again? | 22:33 |

| MidgetSpy | hey all I'm running ubuntu server 8.04 with 4 SATA drives in RAID5 using mdadm. mdadm just warned me that one of the drives failed, and when I went to check it out I see that the drive isn't even listed in /dev (it should be /dev/sdc but only sda, sdb, and sdd are there). Are there any logs anywhere I can look at to check the problem? I don't want to reboot it unless I really have to so I'd like to troubleshoot while it's online as muc | 22:37 |

| loafers | I went to System Monitor and Aptitude/Synaptic are not running at all, so I don't get why I can't use it... | 22:39 |

| Slart | HacKBoX: well.. you're going to trust this proxy more than any sites you visit.. so I suggest one you don't get from some weird irc-channel =) | 22:42 |
| komputes | Slart: is there a quick guide at setting up your own private proxy? | 22:43 |
| Slart | HacKBoX: or you meant "proxy" as in one you can install yourself? | 22:43 |
| Jason_WT | what is the command to run a program as root, it opens like a gui, believed it is called Run or Run Program, and i navigate to the thing i want ran | 22:43 |

| Rauf | Holy shit | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | Mejborg, Close the terminal ( or just type ctrl+C ) then run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and hopefully the package will finish installing | 23:25 |

| maxagaz | jrib: ? | 23:27 |
| lacita | Crayboff: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:27 |
| rweait1 | Guest37328: use your BIOS menu key during boot. | 23:27 |
| nickrud | Guest37328, when you boot, probably delete key or maybe f2 key. Depends on the bios. First screen should say | 23:27 |
| rww | Rauf: yeah... I've had that happen before. Try another client, maybe? Like deluge-torrent? | 23:27 |
| jrib | maxagaz: read about the '-v' switch in man grep | 23:27 |
| ardchoille | Crayboff: no, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:27 |
| Mejborg | Jordan_U: I have just done that. Nothing seems to happen | 23:27 |
| ardchoille | !gksudo | lacita | 23:27 |
| ubottu | lacita: 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) | 23:27 |
| Guest37328 | i do not no what this is as it does not show up during boot | 23:27 |

| rweait1 | Guest37328: good luck. | 23:30 |
| lacita | Crayboff: under that. where it says "timeout 10" or something like that. | 23:30 |
| Mejborg | Jordan_U: is everything ok, or do i have to type something more? | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | Mejborg, That's good, if there is a directory called /lib/b43-legacy ( this is firmware for older cards that b43-fwcutter also installs, I just gave you the directory for your card ) then it grabbed the firmware correctly, if not then as long as dpkg is happy ( which it seems to be ) then your firmware should still be successfully updated when you upgrade still | 23:30 |
| Rauf | Guys. How do I change a shortcut to start a program? | 23:30 |
| miranda_psi | meheren: you could write a bash script to do it... | 23:30 |
| Rauf | Everytime I do shift+t the terminal starts | 23:30 |
| Crayboff | lacita, ok i see that, should i change timeout 10 to timeout 30? | 23:30 |
| meheren | miranda_psi, when i store them in a variable i can't seem to edit them as a group...? | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | meheren, "rename" | 23:31 |
| ardchoille | meheren: in terminal go to the folder containing the pictures and do: j=1; for i in *; do mv "$i" Beach$j; j=$((j+1)); done | 23:31 |
| zc00gii | how do I make a .ISO file manually with my on files? | 23:31 |
| lacita | Crayboff: do it. | 23:31 |
| meheren | ardchoille, ah that's how you add the number!! | 23:31 |
| meheren | thanks | 23:31 |
| lacita | Crayboff: and then save | 23:31 |

| rww | Run a terminal ** | 23:32 |
| nickrud | Rauf, gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybindings and keybinding_commands | 23:32 |

| nickrud | rww, and more expansive, since you can add a bunch of other commands, and keys :) | 23:32 |
| miranda_psi | meheren: you would read all the files in, sort them and then use the "mv" command to rename them as you want (use a variable to keep track of the number you are up to) | 23:32 |
| maxagaz | jrib: and a last question, how to represent the {tab} in my request? | 23:32 |
| Crayboff | lacita, i believe i was using the windows bootloader, then i downloaded startupmanager, which i think activated grub | 23:32 |
| zeroRooter | 8.10 | 23:32 |
| cuulu | if I use a bittorrent client like deluge, can I use my external harddrive (usb) that has a ntfs partion? to download and seed to? | 23:32 |
| lacita | Crayboff: OK. close menu.lst | 23:33 |
| Rauf | I'll be right back | 23:33 |
| Rauf | I downloaded mirc | 23:33 |
| master_alvaro | cuulu: you have to mount this partition | 23:33 |
| rww | nickrud: ones that aren't in the GUI? | 23:33 |

| nownot | if i have two network cards and i want to use one as a network connection to another device, how do i do this? | 23:33 |
| master_alvaro | to mount ntfs for write, you need NTFS3G | 23:33 |
| lacita | Crayboff: sudo grub | 23:33 |
| miranda_psi | hi hpadministrator | 23:33 |
| Mejborg | Jordan_U: there is no directory called /lib/b43-legacy, but there is one called /lib/firmware/b43legacy (i dont know if that is 'the same'). What is dpkg? | 23:34 |
| Crayboff | alright | 23:34 |
| nickrud | rww, yes, you can arbitrarily assign commands to any key. And use the <Super> key as a modifier easily | 23:34 |
| Crayboff | lacita, btw i installed ubuntu via wubi | 23:34 |

| lacita | Crayboff: find /boot/grub/stage1 | 23:34 |
| zeroRooter | any suggestions??? | 23:34 |
| nickrud | rww, if you run out, just add new keys, like command_13, etc | 23:35 |
| Crayboff | lacita: is that the code i have to put in? | 23:35 |
| lacita | Crayboff: (hdx,y) # this will be the output | 23:35 |
| lacita | Crayboff: yes | 23:35 |
| jrib | maxagaz: easiest way is to just type a tab. Like this: <ctrl-v><tab> . That makes sure your shell doesn't use tab for something else like completion. grep -P '\t' will work too | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | Mejborg, I meant to type /lib/firmware/b43legacy, sounds like everything is fine. dpkg is the debian package manager | 23:35 |
| zeroRooter | did anyone even read what i wrote lol | 23:35 |
| cuulu | master_alvaro I understand that but I can still use it ro read and write easily? I don't have ubuntu now but planning to. just checking up what I need to know at first. | 23:35 |
| Crayboff | lacita, it says error 15: file not found | 23:35 |

| cuulu | miranda_psi Ok. I don't have unbutu at the moment but glad there is no problem seeding and downloading with a ntfs partion in unbutu. | 23:36 |

| Crayboff | lacita, what happened is that I went to vista told it to make ubuntu the default OS, than i made it without the timeout. so now it goes from the windows bootloader to the grub | 23:38 |
| cuulu | master_alvaro okey cool. Im really tired of windows XP. Only reason I still use it because of Visual Studio which I need. All other programs I'm sure I can find for linux. | 23:38 |
| master_alvaro | bogsdev: check this on http://www.linux-laptop.net/ | 23:38 |
| vigognome | bogsdev: Sure, 6.04 or some minimal install would rick | 23:38 |
| bogsdev_ | master_alvaro: thanks! | 23:38 |
| Crayboff | lacita, keep in mind i used wubi to download ubuntu, does that make a difference? | 23:38 |
| Rhorse | vigognome, found it: /var/log/auth.log.0 Thanks for the help | 23:38 |
| Mallen_ | whats the command for restarting X? | 23:39 |
| lacita | Crayboff: I don't think that matters. Go back to the Gedit line | 23:39 |
| master_alvaro | Mallen_: try ctrl-alt-bckspc | 23:39 |
| lacita | Crayboff: open menu.lst agin | 23:39 |
| Crayboff | wait, lacita, do you want me to do the thing on that link first? | 23:39 |
| cuulu | if I got a partion with windows xp installed. And a partion with ubuntu and in ubuntu i install Virtualbox. Do I create a virtual "machine" from the windows xp (ntfs partion) or does it want to create a new partion for the virtual xp machine? | 23:39 |
| vigognome | Rhorse: I did not realize that I had helped, but am always happy to give the effort. | 23:39 |
| lacita | Crayboff: try this first | 23:39 |
| lacita | Crayboff: are you editing menu.lst? | 23:40 |
| nownot | how do i do internet sharing using firestarter? | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | Crayboff, Is this a normal install or a Wubi install? | 23:40 |
| Crayboff | jordan_u wubi | 23:40 |
| lacita | Crayboff: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:40 |
| Crayboff | lacita, i'm there now | 23:41 |
| Mastastealth | cuulu: once you install virtual box it installs virtual machines inside of ubuntu. if you want to make that virtual machine identical to your shared win partition, thers a lot more steps to do. you can google for a guide | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | Crayboff, Changing the grub menu.list is probably not what you want to do then | 23:41 |
| master_alvaro | cuulu: it create a "partition" which is file in ubuntu filesystem | 23:41 |
| Rauf | Wooohoo | 23:41 |
| Rauf | mIRC is working | 23:41 |
| Rauf | Awesome | 23:41 |
| Crayboff | jordand_U, do you know what i have to do then? | 23:41 |
| Mastastealth | but the virtual machine is pretty much a whole 'nother win install | 23:41 |
| mikegriffin | Rauf: you realize this is #linux right | 23:41 |
| pikario | Microsoft Windows XP Professional | 23:41 |
| Rauf | I know | 23:41 |
| Rhorse | if one has a url address like 58.222.11.2 for instance, is there a way to find out more about this address? | 23:41 |
| pikario | i thought this was #ubuntu | 23:41 |
| mikegriffin | Rauf: mirc is not allowed here | 23:42 |
| lacita | Crayboff: ok, scroll down, and look for a line that says "titleMicro$oft Windoze vi$ta" or "longhorn" or whatever | 23:42 |
| Rauf | :o | 23:42 |
| Snupt | mirc? Why?! | 23:42 |
| pikario | mirc is the best irc program | 23:42 |
| Rauf | mIRC is not allowed? | 23:42 |
| zeroRooter | lol mirc is the program? u mean chatting | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | Crayboff, I don't know much about windows or wubi but I think that that preference is in ntldr.ini | 23:42 |
| pikario | unfortunately it is closed-source | 23:42 |
| master_alvaro | pikario: irssi rox | 23:42 |
| master_alvaro | ;-) | 23:42 |
| Rauf | I know it is, but I can use it if I want to, can't I? | 23:42 |
| Snupt | master_alvaro, weechat rox, too | 23:42 |
| Riri | whats the command to install dvd plugins? | 23:42 |
| nickrud | Rhorse, system->admin->network tools has some stuff for that | 23:42 |
| zeroRooter | my mouse(cursor) on ubuntu 8.10 is RIDICULOUSLY laggy. it basically teleports over the screen when i move it... my machine is over the system recomended requirements (900 mhz, 133 clock, geforce4 MX-440-8X, 512 ram) etc.. and i have my video ard drivers installed any suggestions??? | 23:43 |
| miranda_psi | Riri: in what? | 23:43 |
| mikegriffin | Riri: search for medibuntu | 23:43 |
| meheren | Riri, what ones do u need? | 23:43 |
| Crayboff | lacita, i found "Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)" | 23:43 |
| Riri | not sure lol | 23:43 |
| Snupt | dvd plugins work out of box | 23:43 |
| === ms_exodus is now known as exodus_ms | ||
| Rhorse | nickrud, really? I thot maybe a web site or hacker tool | 23:43 |
| ardchoille | !dvd | Riri | 23:43 |
| Crayboff | jordan_U, if this doesn't work, how do i get to ntldr.ini? | 23:43 |

| lacita | ok, make sure there is no ## before it. | 23:43 |
| meheren | Riri, -> Snupt | 23:43 |
| lacita | Crayboff: ok, make sure there is no ## before it. | 23:43 |
| Riri | thanks | 23:43 |
| meheren | that is normally true | 23:44 |
| Crayboff | lacita, there is no ## before it | 23:44 |
| nop_ | hi everyone | 23:44 |
| nickrud | Rhorse, it has the basic net info tools, fundamental hacker tools, built in :) | 23:44 |
| zeroRooter | gus i dont even care if u say something extremely stupid and unrelated but at least let me know u actually read this: | 23:44 |
| zeroRooter | my mouse(cursor) on ubuntu 8.10 is RIDICULOUSLY laggy. it basically teleports over the screen when i move it... my machine is over the system recomended requirements (900 mhz, 133 clock, geforce4 MX-440-8X, 512 ram) etc.. and i have my video ard drivers installed any suggestions??? | 23:44 |
| lacita | Crayboff: OK, and chainloader is "+1" | 23:44 |
| Crayboff | lacita: yes | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | Crayboff, I don't remember where it's stored but it's somewhere on your windows partition ( which you can access from Ubuntu ). You might ask in ##windows | 23:44 |
| lacita | Crayboff: save it, restart and see if that did it. | 23:45 |
| nop_ | i`m new here. what`s the topik of chat? | 23:45 |
| lacita | nop_: ubuntu troubleshooting | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | Crayboff, My guess is that change in the menu.lst will just loop you back to grub | 23:45 |
| miranda_psi | zeroRooter: try turning off all desktop acceleration | 23:45 |

| macman | anyone have any tips / tricks for saving battery on ubuntu 8.10 dell laptop ? im using power top and cpu freq .. they aren't helping | 23:45 |
| throwt | how do i reconfigure compiz? | 23:46 |
| Crayboff | jordan_U that's what was the problem before with me | 23:46 |
| zeroRooter | miranda: how do i do that, i have cisual effects to none if th\ats what u mean | 23:46 |
| throwt | do i do it with dpkg? | 23:46 |
| zeroRooter | visual effects | 23:46 |
| miranda_psi | macman: try tuning off all special desktop effects and see if that helps | 23:46 |
| lacita | jordan_U: i don't think so. he has to be able to get in... seems redundant to use 2 loaders. | 23:46 |
| Crayboff | lacita, i think it is using 2 loaders | 23:46 |
| Snupt | throwt, remove folder with preferences and start compiz again | 23:46 |
| macman | everything is down | 23:46 |
| miranda_psi | zeroRooter: thats what I meant - visual effects to none. | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | lacita, It's wubi, grub is being chainloaded from ntldr | 23:47 |
| lacita | Crayboff: give it a shot. If all else fails, you can alter the boot.ini file in ubuntu. | 23:47 |
| zeroRooter | yeah is to none, same problem lol | 23:47 |
| Crayboff | lacita, i don't know how to do that | 23:47 |
| lacita | jordan_U: im not familiar | 23:47 |
| throwt | Snupt: ok, thanks | 23:47 |
| Snupt | np | 23:47 |
| Rauf | G2g | 23:47 |
| Crayboff | lacita, jordan_U, i'll restart, brb | 23:47 |
| miranda_psi | zeroRooter: try it with a different mouse? | 23:47 |
| lacita | Crayboff: is your windows partician/drive mounted in ubuntu | 23:47 |
| Crayboff | lacita, umm i do not know | 23:48 |
| throwt | Snupt: i killed compiz, rm -rf .compiz, and started it, but it didnt prompt me about anything | 23:48 |
| zeroRooter | yup tried it with three diff mouses same prob | 23:48 |
| nop_ | lacita, thanks again. just install release on workstation. so i`m really very new here.. | 23:48 |
| Crayboff | lacita, i can access windows files via ubuntu | 23:48 |
| Dracie_ | hi, how does one edit the application handlers that firefox 3 uses | 23:48 |
| lacita | Crayboff: that's good. let's see how this works. If you get stuck, and can't load ubuntu, replace menu.lst with menu.lst_backup | 23:49 |
| jrib | Dracie_: checked preferences in firefox? | 23:49 |
| miranda_psi | seroRooter: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 23:49 |
| lacita | nop_: any problems? | 23:49 |
| Dracie_ | jrib, yeah telnet:// doesn't open a terminal and just gives me a error | 23:49 |
| Crayboff | lacita, jordan_U, i'll restart, brb | 23:49 |
| vpol | anybody knows if twitux (twitter client) will be updated to 0.68 in jaunty? it is still 0.62 now.. | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | lacita, I don't think he will get stuck, I think he will just immediately go back to grub where he can choose to boot Ubuntu | 23:50 |
| lacita | Jordan_U: just in case. | 23:50 |
| vigognome | Is the WUBI thing bad? | 23:50 |
| lacita | vigognome: seems redundant to me. | 23:51 |
| Dracie_ | vigognome, yes if you plan to use your ubuntu wubi install on an unstable power connection | 23:51 |
| Dracie_ | you could corrupt your ubuntu install | 23:51 |
| Dracie_ | since its a big archive | 23:51 |
| Snupt | throwt, rm -r ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig | 23:51 |
| jrib | Dracie_: ah, those are called "protocol handlers". iirc, you set them up in about:config | 23:51 |
| Itaku | firefox keeps freezing on simple pages like google how do i fix it? | 23:51 |
| vigognome | whoops | 23:51 |
| nop_ | lacita, not yet. but may be it means i`m still not using in all functions. thanks anyway. | 23:51 |
| miranda_psi | Itaku: do you have any extension installed? | 23:51 |
| lacita | Itaku: killall firefox | 23:51 |
| jrib | Dracie_: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.protocol-handler.app.(protocol) | 23:52 |
| Itaku | miranda_psi, nope | 23:52 |
| Dracie_ | thx jrgp | 23:52 |
| Dracie_ | thx jrib* | 23:52 |
| lacita | nop_: there are lways people here to help. | 23:52 |
| Itaku | lacita, already did that before | 23:52 |
| lacita | Itaku: any new extentions? | 23:52 |
| Itaku | nope | 23:52 |
| jrgp | lol Dracie_ | 23:52 |
| Crayboff | lacita, nope nothing changed | 23:52 |
| Dracie_ | lol | 23:52 |
| lacita | Itaku: idk, reinstall, and save your bookmarks? | 23:53 |
| Dracie_ | tabcompletion can be tedious if you aren't reading | 23:53 |
| miranda_psi | Itaku: try a reinstall from the repository and see if that helps | 23:53 |
| zeroRooter | miranda: overwiting possivly-customised configuration file; backup... | 23:53 |
| jrib | Dracie_: more general instructions: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol | 23:53 |
| Itaku | already tried | 23:53 |
| zeroRooter | and still laggy mouse lol | 23:53 |

| zeroRooter | 0 | 23:54 |
| adaptr | fail | 23:54 |
| zeroRooter | unless u talking hardware money | 23:54 |
| miranda_psi | Itaku: you could try IceWeasle :P | 23:54 |
| adaptr | william56: for the graphical installer, between 64 and 128 MB, I think | 23:54 |
| william56 | memory, not money | 23:54 |
| * Snupt is going to bed | 23:54 | |

| zeroRooter | o ithought u said money | 23:54 |

| Xunor | Lol i was just kidding | 23:58 |
| Iderik | my problem is, first i tried xubuntu, normal iso. but it didn't work, because i needed internet access, which my laptop don't have | 23:58 |
| william56 | Iderik: what part did it mess up on? | 23:59 |
| PSPdemon | okay so i installed ubuntu and ive read there is a intel 845G issue | 23:59 |
| storrgie | Broadcom bcm4311 | 23:59 |
| DarkSmoke | i installed the slickness theme, which has the slickness icon set in the folder, but didn't get used automatically with the theme, i think i have to mv the iconset folder myself, but i dunno where the gnome icon sets folder is, anyhelp? | 23:59 |
| Flare183 | Good Job Jack_Sparrow (no sarcasm) | 23:59 |
| Iderik | so i tried the alternative one, which didn't work either, because i can't find any install file to start | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:59 |
| Flare183 | !bcm | storrgie | 23:59 |
| ubottu | storrgie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | Iderik, A live USB install is compressed so even plain Ubuntu is under 700 meg | 23:59 |
| Iderik | william56, it needed internet access to start installing | 23:59 |
| Flare183 | storrgie: That should help | 23:59 |
| storrgie | thanks Flare183 | 23:59 |
| Flare183 | storrgie: np | 23:59 |
| PSPdemon | so how can i disable effects? | 23:59 |
