| DigitalFiz | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103327/ for the idjc | 00:00 |
| unop | kevinw_, right click the channel and check "hide join/part messages" | 00:00 |
| look2thestars | It's very educational to customize your kernel. With the latest kernel, you could really see a benefit with ext4. | 00:00 |
| kevinw_ | ah! YES THANKS | 00:00 |
| MindVirus | Anyone know? | 00:00 |
| jrib | DigitalFiz: file a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com if one does not already exist | 00:00 |
| kevinw_ | oops sorry hit the caps lovk | 00:00 |

| nevis | are there any downsides I should know about? :-@ | 00:02 |

| jeffwheeler | Is there any way to get a Mac to stream audio to a pulseaudio sound server? I've got a Linux machine connected to my speakers, but it would be very convenient if I could also use the speakers with my Mac. | 00:03 |
| jrib | mogi22: try adding " init=/bin/bash" to the end of the normal kernel line instead then. (pressing 'e' in the grub menu lets you edit it) | 00:03 |
| jeffwheeler | Or, is there some alternative solution that might get me closer? | 00:03 |
| jeffwheeler | I've found "jack", but it seems immature, and an alternative to all of pulseaudio's niceness. Is this incorrect? | 00:04 |
| Zloy_Moder | help me please (( | 00:04 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, yeah, it's got a a password apparently. You've booted up from a linux floppy and try resetting ? | 00:04 |
| Titan8990 | jeffwheeler: not sure about pulse audio but VLC is multi-platform and will stream media across a network | 00:04 |
| look2thestars | Zloy what do you need help with? | 00:05 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars i can boot from a linux floppy and reset the grub pw? using hal91 or some other linux floppy? | 00:05 |
| jeffwheeler | Titan8990: that's something to look at; thanks. | 00:05 |

| gil | Hey, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 64-bit, whenever I play games with 3d acceleration like Tremulous or GridWars, the graphics look fine but the screen keeps blinking. Anyone know why this might be happening? | 00:05 |
| BLZ | Mindvirus: you might not own the ipod | 00:05 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> with ubuntu that i install yesterday (( | 00:05 |
| MindVirus | I own the iPod. | 00:05 |
| MindVirus | I can unmount it as root through the console. | 00:06 |
| look2thestars | You can boot from a linux floppy and work on the other system. If nothing else, you could see about checking the permissions. | 00:06 |
| look2thestars | Zloy, what's the prob ? | 00:06 |
| mogi22 | jrib, pushing e does nothing, by grub menu do you mean the menu where i can choose amongst kernels and recover modes? | 00:06 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: well if you use root you might not own it | 00:06 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> may be in private? | 00:06 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: have you tried chown? | 00:06 |
| MindVirus | BLZ, and what should I chown? | 00:06 |
| jrib | mogi22: yes | 00:06 |
| look2thestars | http://www.toms.net/rb/ for a great linux floppy | 00:06 |
| mogi22 | jrib, ok so e did nothing, it does say press p to get into more features ... w/ pw of course | 00:07 |
| jrib | mogi22: press e after using the arrow keys to select a kernel and before pressing enter | 00:07 |
| BLZ | the ipod... i'm a bit rusty on the syntax but i'd try sudo chown [device name] 700 | 00:07 |
| look2thestars | Zloy, why not tell me here? Maybe it'll resolve your issue faster if more eyes are looking at it. | 00:07 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, actually i have tom's floppy too! | 00:07 |
| jrib | mogi22: there isn't a grub password set by default, did you set one? | 00:07 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: or maybe it's sudo chown 700 [device name] ... yeah i think it's that | 00:07 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, that's the grub menu, where you see the kernels | 00:07 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> here i can mix your frases with others. ne hichu meshat drugim | 00:07 |
| tom_eats_lives | is there a way to configure multiple keyboard and mice for one comp ? | 00:07 |
| === jgoguen is now known as LinuxFredBot | ||
| MindVirus | BLZ, that wouldn't work. | 00:08 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, great minds think alike ! | 00:08 |
| mogi22 | jrib, i did that and e does nothing. and yeah i'm guessing i did set one on original install/config. b/c its asking for it now | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | BLZ, chown changes the owner. | 00:08 |
| Somethief | tom_eats_lives just plug them in and they will work? | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | chmod changes the permissions. | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | 700 is permissions. | 00:08 |
| === LinuxFredBot is now known as jgoguen | ||
| jrib | mogi22: so put in the password | 00:08 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, so what do i do once i boot from tom or hal91 to rm grub pw | 00:08 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: oh yeah, duh. Try chmod then | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | And 700 means only the owner can read, write, and execute. | 00:08 |
| JHook101 | hmmm | 00:08 |
| look2thestars | Zloy, what language is that ?> | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | BLZ, I have tried chmodding the /media/ipod directory. | 00:08 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: you want everybody else to be able to rwx? | 00:08 |
| mogi22 | jrib, oh if life were so fortuitous | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | To 777. | 00:08 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> Russian | 00:08 |
| MindVirus | It doesn't help. | 00:08 |
| mogi22 | jrib, i dont even recall setting a pw, so no way i'm going to recall the pw | 00:09 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: but try it with /dev/sda1 or whatever | 00:09 |
| gil | Anyone know why my screen might blink during games with 3d-acceleration? | 00:09 |
| MindVirus | Good call. | 00:09 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, might look at editing grub menu ? I'd see about removing the line with the passwd | 00:09 |
| mogi22 | jrib, if you can vanquish the pw w/ a boot floppy (as i hope you can) then seems like grub pw is futile | 00:09 |
| jrib | mogi22: try your common ones... try your account's password... in the future try not to set passwords you will forget :) | 00:09 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: yeah sorry... i wasn't clear about that | 00:09 |
| mogi22 | jrib, yeah i'm trying several now | 00:09 |
| MindVirus | BLZ, nice! | 00:09 |
| MindVirus | Thanks. | 00:09 |
| jrib | mogi22: sure except you weren't able to mount the partition with the floppy | 00:09 |
| MindVirus | Should have thought of that. :( | 00:10 |
| look2thestars | ZLoy, cool. Welcome. Post at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and then post the link here. It might be easier for you. | 00:10 |
| BLZ | MindVirus; haha it's always something silly, isn't it? Glad I could help | 00:10 |
| Doonz | I have Ubuntu acting as my gateway/router but now my internet is extremely slow | 00:10 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, what do you mean edit the grub menu? ... yeah what jrib said | 00:10 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> Can you help me? | 00:10 |
| MindVirus | I thought adding user to the boot line in fstab would take care of that. | 00:10 |
| mogi22 | jrib, so am i correct that my only hope is to recall this pw? | 00:10 |
| tom_eats_lives | Somethief, yes , however i mean each one acts individually , so two people can type at same time | 00:10 |
| look2thestars | Zloy, I don't know until you post some information. | 00:10 |
| jrib | mogi22: no, you can boot a live cd | 00:10 |
| Titan8990 | Doonz: there are specific linux distros just for use as a router/firewall | 00:10 |
| BLZ | I keep getting this error when i apt-get install: E: system-tools-backends: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 00:10 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> i cann't write in forum any thing - code page is to bad ((( | 00:10 |
| BLZ | what gives? | 00:10 |
| mogi22 | jrib, well ok other than that | 00:11 |
| Doonz | Titan8990: want to use the ubuntu box . i dont have other pc's kicking around | 00:11 |
| MindVirus | Any way to "upgrade" to ext4? | 00:11 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> may you know who russian and can help me? | 00:11 |
| Somethief | tom_eats_lives uhm you are trying to get inputs hooked in two different applications or whats your goal? | 00:11 |
| koolkat | Does anyone know how to version control a website with subversion? | 00:11 |
| look2thestars | Zloy just look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , and if it doesn't work for you , let me know. | 00:11 |
| JHook101 | anyone know the sudo command to install Sun Java Runtime Environment | 00:11 |
| Titan8990 | MindVirus: ext4 is not stable | 00:11 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: lol you play a dangerous game... don't you have to patch the kernel for that? | 00:11 |
| MindVirus | Not stable, eh? | 00:11 |
| MindVirus | BLZ, no, it's already in the kernel, I thought. | 00:12 |
| look2thestars | Zloy, I don't know Russian, but you're doing pretty good with English. I speak a few other languages. | 00:12 |
| Titan8990 | JHook101: use apt-cache search java jre | 00:12 |
| BLZ | JHook101: you can install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and JRE is one of the many things installed... i dunno if that helps | 00:12 |
| jrib | mogi22: figuring out hal91 I guess | 00:12 |
| BLZ | MindVirus: i thought not, but maybe you're right... i dunno | 00:12 |
| jrib | mogi22: I assume you have no working operating system anywhere in your house? | 00:12 |
| MindVirus | Aye, since it's not stable, I won't take my chances. | 00:12 |
| Zloy_Moder | look2thestars> My English too bad for posting my problem, I am russian, | 00:13 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, I'd see about booting up with the linux boot floppy, then mounting the hard drive, then doing some magic to enable you to bypass PAM authentication. | 00:13 |
| perillux1 | if I'm hosting my own website with apache2, is there any way to know how many people have visited it? Or do I have to get one of those counter scripts? | 00:13 |
| mogi22 | jrib, do you mean figuring out hal91 to mount the disk? well i have this one i'm on on the laptop but it has no rj45 | 00:13 |
| tom_eats_lives | Somethief, yes sort of , i have one workstation , with 2 screens , i want to have separate mouse / keyboard input | 00:13 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: is the website static pages? if so then you could set up a cron job to add it to subversion. | 00:13 |
| look2thestars | Zloy, give it a try. please. | 00:13 |
| BLZ | !RU|Zloy_Moder | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Zloy_Moder: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 00:13 |
| Titan8990 | MindVirus: MindVirus: actually, it looks like wikipedia has it marked as stable as of 10/2008 | 00:13 |
| jrib | mogi22: if you have an enclosure for the hard disk, you could use that | 00:13 |
| BLZ | Zloy-Moder: hope that helps =) | 00:13 |
| Zloy_Moder | ubbutu - Thx | 00:14 |
| Titan8990 | MindVirus: I still wouldn't take me chances personally | 00:14 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, i'd love that method/option but how do i mount the hd from floppy boot? it says doesnt recognize device and that i need to load driver for it. | 00:14 |
| mogi22 | jrib, not even sure what an enclosure is | 00:14 |
| Somethief | tom_eats_lives sorry dont think i can help you but guess that should be possible but might not be very easy process, tried google? | 00:14 |
| look2thestars | Is the hard drive SATA ? | 00:14 |
| koolkat | Morchuboo: No, they are PHP files, I im trying to make it so that other people can edit the website | 00:14 |
| Titan8990 | MindVirus: If you are looking for something better, you can try XFS but i can be picky about the controller | 00:14 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, nope ata | 00:15 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, old school here baby | 00:15 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: easiest would be to use a crm. silverstripe or concrete5 are both very good | 00:15 |
| tom_eats_lives | Somethief, no , not at all , thought i would ask here see if there was any tips first .. will start googling now | 00:15 |
| look2thestars | Mogi22, I use ATA on my older computers, you shouldn't have a prob using Tom's Root boot | 00:15 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, toms has same prob which is why i went to hal91 | 00:15 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: most sorry - cms, not crm | 00:15 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, cant i install the driver from a 2nd floppy? | 00:16 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, i just dont know how to find the driver? | 00:16 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, I'm trying to see if Tom's has installable modules... but it should be able to see an ATA drive natively. | 00:16 |
| look2thestars | There are other linux floppy distros. | 00:16 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, can you post me some of the information, like error messages to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? | 00:17 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, what others? i only found those 2 | 00:17 |
| look2thestars | Ahh... there's a security distro from someone named Franz a long time ago. | 00:17 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: cms systems tend to have some sort of versioning in them. You could do it yourself but would be a lot of work to add history to the data in the db. | 00:17 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, well ubuntu might be on v9.10 by the time that loads for me | 00:17 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, sorry, sorry. Hmm. so when you try to mount the hard drive, what error do you get ? | 00:18 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, but the error msg is simple "kernel doesnt not recognize /dev/sda1 as block device. try insmod driver" | 00:18 |
| look2thestars | mogi22, thanks, just a sec. | 00:18 |
| koolkat | Morchuboo: I kinda cant use a cms, this is the website for my school district and is already written, but me and some of my friends was going to make it better and we needed to set up a subverion system so that some students can edit the code and upload it | 00:18 |
| Titan8990 | mogi22: that is a common error when /etc/fstab is configured wrong | 00:19 |
| mogi22 | look2thestars, someone on hal91 had same issue and the replies were load the driver already! but how | 00:19 |
| mogi22 | Titan8990, sda is not in fstab | 00:19 |

| IndyGunFreak | gurph: i don't think this is an issue w/ your graphics card | 00:23 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: ahh i see. You could make an upload script that the students use. This script could take a copy of the page by "wget" ing the page before making the changes and put it in the subversion repo. Another alternative would be to use WebHTTrack daily, hourly or whatever to create a complete copy of the whole site. | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | gurph: has it ever worked, or is this a new install, and all of a sudden, it didn't work? | 00:23 |

| VideoSmith | Got it :P | 00:25 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: Ideally you should convince them to start using a cms. Much better for multi editor sites. Could maybe set up a copy of the site in a cms on your own machine to give them a demonstration. | 00:25 |
| BLZ | VideoSmith: no problem =) It's just that you're more likely to get an answer if you just go ahead and ask | 00:25 |

| BLZ | VideoSmith: if you're using KDE you might have more luck on #kubuntu, that said, it sounds like a desktop-environment-independent issue... | 00:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hi im testing out wmii on my main comp so i can use on my lappy afterwards at the moment I luv it (they even included a welcome screen to get the user started) but yeah just wondering why is exiale giving me segmentation fault, tried googling and found no bugs listed, so could anyone help me with this? | 00:29 |
| d0wn_ | linxeh: I mean packages that aren't being used by anything | 00:29 |
| xopey | d0wn_: sudo apt-get autoremove | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | newmansan: pretty sure ubuntu comes with both a rdp and vnc client by default | 00:29 |
| VideoSmith | I'm using GNOME. | 00:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newmansan, I have alink that will show you | 00:29 |
| d0wn_ | xopey: thanks | 00:29 |
| linxeh | d0wn_: apt-get autoremove | 00:29 |
| look2thestars | jhook101, try searching for restricted from synaptic, and/or the mediubuntu web site | 00:29 |
| BLZ | VideoSmith: oh my bad. I just saw that you mentioned "konsole" so i assumed | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | newmansan: you can just install some kind of vnc server on the windows box or enable remote desktop | 00:29 |
| BLZ | y | 00:29 |
| BLZ | whoops... thought that was my terminal | 00:30 |
| newmansan | titan: remote desktop is enabled on the remote computer | 00:30 |
| VideoSmith | BLZ: It was just what was under Applications > System Tools, so I dunno. | 00:30 |
| crazyryan | Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out. | 00:30 |
| newmansan | titan: i just don't know how to connect to it in ubuntu | 00:30 |
| Titan8990 | sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:30 |
| xelectrox | Hi, I get this message while doing the final command to making opendns my permenant dns server: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. How do i fix/configure this? | 00:30 |
| Titan8990 | Titan: I'm not on a Ubuntu machine so I can't tell you exactly where the gui is | 00:30 |
| endorphine | is there a way to stop a user from changing the chmod of a specific folder even if he is the owner? | 00:30 |
| BLZ | I keep getting the error "E: system-tools-backends: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" when i got to apt-get upgrade... what gives? | 00:31 |
| Titan8990 | newmansan: I think I remember it being somewhere under applications | 00:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newmansan, http://www.debianadmin.com/remote-desktop-sharing-in-ubuntu.html | 00:31 |
| Morchuboo | koolkat: would be quite a good site to learn a cms with. not too small to be boring but not too complex to be unmanagable. I would suggest you install a cms you like the look of and try it. They do make managing the sites much easier. | 00:31 |
| DarkSotM | Does anyone know why twin isn't in Intrepid? | 00:31 |
| crazyryan | Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out. | 00:31 |
| ScottG489 | My mouse in ubuntu has been acting weird. It keeps creating multiple clicks when I only mean to click once or twice. For example if I open up a folder it will open up 1-4 windows. Any ideas? | 00:31 |
| technopagan1 | Jack_Sparrow: What about icons from programs that I installed manually? Will a simple reinstall of the program bring the neccessary icons for it back? | 00:31 |
| crazyryan | Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out. | 00:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | technopagan1, If you installed them manually and lost them you will need to manually do it again | 00:31 |
| Uplink | i need a flash editor | 00:32 |
| eseven73 | crazyryan: you have to click the Unlock button first | 00:32 |
| gurph | okay... error | 00:32 |
| crazyryan | It's greyed out | 00:32 |
| gurph | "bash: dkpg: command not found" or something | 00:32 |
| koolkat | Morchuboo: they have some sort of login page, there is a link to Login that is a grey color, I dont know if that is a cms aleady | 00:32 |
| xopey | gurph: dpkg | 00:33 |
| gurph | that i tried too | 00:33 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: That's been happening to me too. I thought maybe my Dell mouse was getting screwed up, but it's only 5 months old | 00:33 |
| gurph | then i got a huge help-list style thing | 00:33 |
| raylu | xopey, IndyGunFreak, Titan8990: his error clearly has nothing to do with X | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | raylu: i said that from the beginning | 00:33 |
| gurph | what i tried to do was "dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 00:33 |
| Titan8990 | raylu: with an empty xorg.conf file? | 00:33 |
| xopey | raylu: sorry, just responding to the misspelled dpkg | 00:33 |
| Uplink | !flash | 00:34 |
| 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 | 00:34 |
| Uplink | !flasheditor | 00:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flasheditor | 00:34 |
| raylu | Titan8990: the new X doesn't need an xorg.conf. and X has already loaded; that's how he logged in | 00:34 |
| Uplink | i need a flash editor please | 00:34 |
| raylu | gurph: try moving .gnome and .gnome2 | 00:34 |
| TheFunkbomb | what is the terminal command to find out what sound card I have? | 00:34 |
| tiyowan | Uplink: Do you mean something to develop flash projects with? | 00:34 |
| xopey | Uplink: i don't know of one | 00:34 |
| raylu | TheFunkbomb: lspci | 00:34 |
| Titan8990 | raylu: interesting, what does it use? | 00:34 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: yes, like a macromedia flash pro | 00:34 |
| TheFunkbomb | thanks raylu | 00:34 |
| raylu | Titan8990: lots of guessing :D | 00:34 |
| gurph | raylu: what? how? kinda new to linux... =/ | 00:34 |
| JHook101 | I am still having no luck finding that java run time file i need | 00:35 |
| raylu | gurph: mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome-bak | 00:35 |
| tiyowan | Uplink: Hmm...have you googled for "flash +ide +linux"? | 00:35 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: yes i have | 00:35 |
| raylu | tiyowan: i believe there are none... | 00:35 |
| gurph | well ill give it a shot | 00:35 |
| gurph | that's the only command, then? | 00:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !java | 00:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hi im testing out wmii on my main comp so i can use on my lappy afterwards at the moment I luv it (they even included a welcome screen to get the user started) but yeah just wondering why is exiale giving me segmentation fault, tried googling and found no bugs listed, so could anyone help indentify the cause? | 00:35 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:35 |
| raylu | Uplink: your best bet is to try it with wine and, when it fails, install windows in a VM | 00:35 |
| Uplink | raylu: there are no flash editors for linux? :| | 00:36 |
| tiyowan | Uplink: I believe raylu's right. Flash is closed-sourced. I don't think you'll find something that runs natively on linux. Maybe you could try running Macromedia software under Wine? | 00:36 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: wmii is a panelling window manager, right? | 00:36 |
| ScottG489 | rsquare: Yea I have a Dell mouse too. Its a laser mouse and I have had it for a while with absolutly no problems. I dont think it has to do with the mouse. | 00:36 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: yea i heard macromedia runs fine under wine | 00:36 |
| Uplink | i guess i have no other option | 00:36 |
| VideoSmith | Here's a question guys. This is the reason I've been trying kdenlive. Windows Movie Maker crashes on opening though I'm opening it with Wine. What's the problem? | 00:36 |
| tiyowan | Uplink: If you could hang on, I'll dig up the relevant link for Wine. | 00:36 |
| DarkSotM | !twin | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about twin | 00:36 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: i have wine ty | 00:37 |
| gurph | arright... going to give this thing a shot | 00:37 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=23 | 00:37 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: For me it's kind of random, though. Half the time a single click is a single click. The other half it's two or more clicks. I found out that if I click really fast I can avoid it most of the time. | 00:37 |
| ScottG489 | rsquare: Its weird cuz it doesnt happen consistantly at all. I could go around single clicking on this but then every few seconds it seems to add another click. So sometimes if I eve single click a folder it will open | 00:38 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: But because of the randomness, that's why I figured it was a hardware malfunction. | 00:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: dynamic tilling and panneling yup why? | 00:38 |
| rsquare | Yeah | 00:38 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: it only segfaults in wmii, not in gnome? | 00:38 |
| tiyowan | Uplink: Yep. That's the one. :) | 00:38 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: ty | 00:39 |
| === sol is now known as Guest61132 | ||
| tiyowan | Uplink: No worries, mate. Best of luck. Are you a flash designer? | 00:39 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: little ^^ | 00:39 |
| Uplink | tiyowan: used to make animations for xat.com | 00:39 |
| TheFunkbomb | You know, the only thing holding me back from ditching windows completely is the ability to play Yahoo Literati | 00:39 |
| VideoSmith | lol | 00:39 |
| VideoSmith | Here's a question guys. This is the reason I've been trying kdenlive. Windows Movie Maker crashes on opening though I'm opening it with Wine. What's the problem? | 00:40 |
| TheFunkbomb | I'm serious. I wish I could get it to play | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | VideoSmith, the problem with wmm or kdenlive | 00:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: yup i know where this is goig maybe i should ask how do i stop it from happening and while im on this topic can you suggest a good cli player not server i.e. mpd | 00:40 |
| Titan8990 | VideoSmith: not all wine programs are compatible, check the wine appdb | 00:40 |
| VideoSmith | hmmm | 00:40 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: er, it wasn't oging anywhere :P | 00:41 |
| raylu | *going | 00:41 |
| VideoSmith | appdb? Sorry for my ignorance, but... | 00:41 |
| VideoSmith | What is that? | 00:41 |
| McFrosty | anyone can help me with a PPC problem... | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb | 00:41 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 00:41 |
| VideoSmith | thanks :) | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | VideoSmith, wine questions should be directed to #Winehq people | 00:41 |
| xelectrox | Hi, I get this message while doing the final command to making opendns my permenant dns server: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. How do i fix/configure this? | 00:41 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: though you could try compiling from source. | 00:41 |
| VideoSmith | Lol I've bounced from #kdenlive to #ubuntu to #winehq | 00:42 |
| VideoSmith | Fun times XD | 00:42 |
| stegel | can someone help me set up my ati hd3450 with rstricted drivers? | 00:42 |
| mdg | McFrosty: What's up? | 00:42 |
| gaintsura | hey all I've recently upgraded to 2.6.24-23-generic and since then I've been getting this [ 262.004597] APIC error on CPU1: 00(40) [ 262.006488] APIC error on CPU0: 00(40) and its been causing lockups, hangs, and general problems. my /boot is only large enough to hold one kernel at a time (I wasn't thinking when I did that). Could someone help me get this figured out? | 00:42 |
| geeksquad | every time starting now i boot my laptop i go to a terminal and i have to startx myself how can i fix this | 00:42 |
| BLZ | stegel: have you tried Envy? it's not officially supported, but I personally swear by it | 00:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: just seemed like it oh well i jumped the gun, well other than compiling exaile from source which would be annoying isnt there a way to get it to work without segmentaion fault funny enough firefox works great without a problem | 00:42 |
| BLZ | !envy|stegel | 00:42 |
| ubottu | stegel: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 00:42 |
| BLZ | that said, i like it | 00:43 |
| McFrosty | How Comes my sound doesnt work on my PPC iMac G4? | 00:43 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: no idea. though you should consider submitting a bug report | 00:43 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: http://moc.daper.net/ | 00:43 |
| BLZ | McFrosty: dunno... what else can you tell us about it? did you check to see if your sound adapter is supported? | 00:43 |
| mdg | McFrosty: I had the same problem with 8.04 | 00:43 |
| TheFunkbomb | Can anyone figure out a way to play Yahoo Literati with ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| emendo | I know this is not the openoffice irc but in their channel it is hard to get noticed. The people are very helpful in this irc and because I use ubuntu it was an obvious choice. So, anyone familiar enough with openoffice's navigator? | 00:43 |
| McFrosty | yes but im using 8.10 PowerPC | 00:43 |
| xelectrox | Hi, I get this message while doing the final command to making opendns my permenant dns server: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. How do i fix/configure this? It seems like no one has an answer...... | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | McFrosty, We dont support the ppc version... they have community support | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ppc | 00:44 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 00:44 |
| mdg | McFrosty: I went to a terminal - alsamixer and turned up the sound there | 00:44 |
| ScottG489 | rsquare: so by hardware you mean its definitelly the mouse? | 00:44 |
| gurph | okay... new error | 00:44 |
| McFrosty | ty mdg | 00:44 |
| mdg | McFrosty: Let us know if it works | 00:44 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: I don't know if it's definitely the mouse, but I suspect it's the mouse. If it were the software, I expect it to be more consistent in its error | 00:44 |
| geeksquad | anybody help me | 00:44 |
| JHook101 | anyone know how to increase ubuntu performance and speed | 00:44 |
| stegel | BLZ: thanks | 00:45 |
| stegel | this is pretty easy | 00:45 |
| BLZ | stegel:np | 00:45 |
| McFrosty | will do | 00:45 |
| linxeh | JHook101: you need to define that a bit better | 00:45 |
| mdg | McFrosty: Is this the G4 that is white with a round base? | 00:45 |
| gurph | "cannot stat '/root/.gnome'; no such file or directory | 00:45 |
| BLZ | JHook101: well there's a few ways... some risky some not | 00:45 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: It also only happens when I left click | 00:45 |
| rsquare | That's another indicator | 00:45 |
| BLZ | JHook101: what's slowing you down right now? | 00:45 |
| JHook101 | Ok how would I increase the speed at which windows open and close on my desktop How would I increase the speed in performance in which program open and close or operate | 00:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: ahhhh so much trouble i should probably move to a cli music player since thats what im going to use on the lappy but wmii on the main is so good especially the tabing function :D | 00:45 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: Only one way to find out. I'm going to get a new mouse tomorrow. If it's still happening, I'll know it's not the mouse, and I can return it | 00:46 |
| JHook101 | Well it seems that things are moving a bit slower then they did with windows xp pro installed | 00:46 |
| domoso | Anyone know how to get the left pane tree view back in nautilus? | 00:46 |
| BLZ | JHook101: the formar you can do... i'd google something like "menu show delay" and you can switch to a lightweight file manager like thunar | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | McFrosty, see also #ubuntu-powerpc | 00:46 |
| McFrosty | yes G4 is white round base | 00:46 |
| fosco_ | domoso: press F9 | 00:46 |
| domoso | The instructions say something about choosing it from a drop down list. I don't see no drop down list. | 00:46 |
| JHook101 | Well how about increasing FPS when gaming on linux? | 00:46 |
| mdg | McFrosty: I have one to those too :) | 00:47 |
| McFrosty | :O | 00:47 |
| j-a-k-e | hello, does anyone know how to setup bass redirection to a subwoofer for creatives x-fi driver? | 00:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | domoso: you can also hit View/and check "Side Pane" | 00:47 |
| BLZ | JHook101: the later is more complicated. You can try to change harddrive parameters to get faster read times, but that has risks that need to be understood | 00:47 |
| McFrosty | wonderful since im new to linux do i have to open up alsamixer with the term? | 00:47 |
| mdg | McFrosty: yes. | 00:47 |
| McFrosty | would you mind type me "blahblahblah" what to do since im just getting familiar with it? | 00:48 |
| domoso | Yeah see, I thought it was that easy too. It's not working. F9 doesn't work. Going to view menu doesn't show a "side pane". | 00:48 |
| mdg | You use the arrow keys to move left right and the up/down arrows to increase decrease sound. Press escape key when done | 00:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone suggest a good cli music player that doesnt only play songs in mp3 (raylu i did check moc) | 00:48 |
| Itaku | !test | 00:48 |
| ubottu | sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 00:48 |
| tyranos | Pirate_Hunter, mplayer | 00:48 |

| ScottG489 | rsquare: You wanna let me know? Cuz I'll get a new mouse too. i want wireless anyways for my laptop. | 00:49 |
| geeksquad | please answer my last post i am desprate | 00:50 |
| Gh0sty | geeksquad: apt-get --reinstall install gdm | 00:50 |

| Jack_Sparrow | McFrosty, double click the speaker icon | 00:50 |
| j-a-k-e | gurph: have you got visual effect enabled? | 00:50 |
| rsquare | ScottG489: If you're around in the next day or two, I'll let you know | 00:50 |
| McFrosty | no need MDG helped me | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 00:50 |
| domoso | Any ideas how to get nautilus to display the side pane? F9 doesn't do anything. View menu doesn't have a Side pane option. | 00:50 |
| Titan8990 | dro: you can always compile the source if you need a new version | 00:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tyranos: No :p for minimalist system some ncurses players would be nice but they all look good so im asking here to see what ppl think is really good in feature, resources etc | 00:50 |
| McFrosty | whats the command to "open" alsamixer with term... | 00:50 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: mplayer will play them... but that's about all it does | 00:50 |
| gurph | j-a-k-e: compiz | 00:50 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: it's ok if you have playlist files | 00:51 |
| mdg | McFrosty: If alsamixer does not do it, you can right click on the sound icon on the tool bar | 00:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu: nope not mplayer | 00:51 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: why not? | 00:51 |
| mdg | McFrosty: First click on the ubunto icon on the toolbar | 00:51 |
| mdg | then go to accessories and choose "terminal" | 00:51 |
| mdg | then type alasmixer | 00:52 |
| Gh0sty | Pirate_Hunter: mpg123 or mpg321 ? | 00:52 |
| domoso | Typical....I never get the "easy" problems. | 00:52 |
| McFrosty | says command not found... | 00:52 |
| Gh0sty | does mp3 and ogg and stuff i believe ... | 00:52 |
| gurph | will "sudo apt-get remove compiz" get rid of compiz? | 00:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | read my post to tyranos on the main comp its kl but not on the lappy | 00:52 |
| domoso | It's always some obscure thing and noone knows the answer. | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gurph, nope | 00:52 |
| gurph | urg | 00:52 |
| Jolter | Hey guys! I get Access denied when trying to access to an NFS share! can anyone please help me ? I need this to work | 00:52 |
| j-a-k-e | gurph: I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but try disabling compiz as a quick fix for now. I've had similar problems in the past that went away when I disabled it. | 00:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Ghosty: ty will do a search on that | 00:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gurph, compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:53 |
| mdg | McFrosty: Did you follow the PPC setup guide at www.ubuntuforums.org for PPC? | 00:53 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: oh, you want ncruses? | 00:53 |
| gurph | j-a-k-e : kinda new. how? | 00:53 |
| raylu | Pirate_Hunter: *ncurses? | 00:53 |
| domoso | Well, time to open up a conf file for nautilus I guess. | 00:53 |
| gurph | jack_sparrow: thanks | 00:53 |
| Gh0sty | Pirate_Hunter: but there is even better, just can't think of the name right now ... :/ | 00:53 |

| nihhi | jrib: I need to log in as them to run a script (long story) | 00:55 |
| mdg | McFrosty: There is a "sticky" post at www.ubuntuforums.org in the PPC forum about setting up ubuntu - you have to do extra things for PPC | 00:55 |
| tiyowan | gerber: Please clarify your question. | 00:55 |

| jrib | nihhi: why?... | 00:57 |
| Cation_H` | Jolter: you should check the permission | 00:57 |
| jrib | threethirty: please don't advertise here | 00:58 |
| mgolisch | nihhi: sudo? | 00:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gerber: if you downloaded it just do a search for it xp can do that even mac | 00:58 |
| Gh0sty | anyone here run yakuake on ubuntu? | 00:58 |
| Jolter | Cation_H`: yes but how? :) | 00:59 |
| jrib | Gh0sty: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 00:59 |
| Cation_H` | Jolter: you can use ls -al in the terminal | 00:59 |
| Jolter | Cation_H`: Im a newbie when it comes to NFS :/ | 00:59 |
| Cation_H` | Jolter: you mean NFS or NTFS ?? | 00:59 |
| Gh0sty | well i run yakuake on ubuntu, when i switch to other workspaces then 1 the lower border is under the bottom taskbar (so i cant see the last rule of my shell anymore and my tab bar in yakuake) | 01:00 |
| Jolter | Cation_H`: NFS | 01:00 |
| j-a-k-e | anybody? | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !nfs | 01:00 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 01:00 |
| Gh0sty | been looking through bugreports but don't find anything like this ... :/ | 01:00 |
| Jolter | Jack_Sparrow: yes I get it :P | 01:00 |
| Cation_H` | Jolter: for access deny when you access you computer?? | 01:00 |
| misc--- | hello, does anyone know the name of that app that is like a colour chooser, and shows you the html code etc? | 01:00 |
| Jolter | Cation_H`: Access denied when I try to connect to a NFS share | 01:01 |
| gurph | removing compiz did not help | 01:01 |
| nihhi | jrib: it converts mbox mailboxes to Maildir formatted email boxes | 01:01 |
| gerber | ok thank you , i do have one more ? , I put it in windos xp the installation went fine, when i reboot it show windoxp in ubuntu ,but whe i choose ubuntu it goes black | 01:01 |
| Cation_H` | Jolter: maybe you don't have the permission on these others | 01:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gurph, I didnt see your problem just your request to remove ccsm | 01:01 |
| j-a-k-e | being something of a music nutter good sound is the only thing keeping me from switching to ubuntu | 01:01 |
| Gh0sty | misc---: gcolor2 ? | 01:01 |
| misc--- | Gh0sty: ahhh that's the one, thanks! | 01:01 |
| Morchuboo | Jolter: How are you mounting the share? Also does /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure shed any light on what is wrong? | 01:01 |
| nihhi | jrib: looks like the sudo -u command does what I need it to do | 01:01 |
| Gh0sty | misc---: next time try apt-cache search color picker in a shell ... :p | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gerber, did you add a partition below ubuntu.. uuid's change | 01:02 |
| gerber | no . i just fallow the wizard | 01:02 |
| Jolter | Morchuboo: yes the syslog shows that an unknown host was denied to mount /home | 01:02 |
| Jolter | Morchuboo: on both computers | 01:03 |
| Jolter | Morchuboo: I have both client and server on both computers | 01:03 |
| ubuntu987 | hello, my boot splash has disappeared, why? how do i get it back? | 01:03 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: did you allow that computer to mount the share ? | 01:03 |
| gerber | my computer is sc400 from dell | 01:03 |
| ubuntu987 | its all ugly text now saying ok ok ok | 01:03 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: in /etc/exports? | 01:03 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: yeeah | 01:04 |
| steeleeye | join #transmission | 01:04 |
| iShock | So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? | 01:04 |
| ubuntu987 | do i need reinstall kernel? would that fix it? | 01:04 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: hmm I copied something that was supposed to be full read and write access | 01:04 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: hold on a sec | 01:04 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: so you get that error when accessing the mounted share? | 01:04 |
| maurer | Hey, can anyone reccomend a scheduling (not as in cron/at, but as in day-planner style scheduling) application? Preferably gnome based. | 01:04 |
| gerber | so what i;m doing wrong? | 01:04 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: if yes check the fs permissions on the nfs server host | 01:05 |
| jrib | maurer: there's evolution | 01:05 |
| gurph | if anyone said anything i missed it | 01:05 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: when I try do mount the share I get access denied | 01:05 |
| Haberdasher | Greetings | 01:05 |
| maurer | jrib: That's likely overkill, doesn't that have mail and contacts management as well? | 01:05 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: (rw,no_root_squash,async) | 01:05 |
| jrib | maurer: yes | 01:05 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: that is a permission right? | 01:05 |
| Gh0sty | maurer: thunderbird with lightning plugin? | 01:05 |
| Haberdasher | I just installed ubuntu 8.10 without a hitch but when I boot into it it just takes me to a command prompt | 01:05 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: does that entry list the host that tries to mount it? | 01:05 |
| Astr4y | Is there a way to stop apt from updating your kernel? | 01:06 |
| CoJaBo | Does anyone know if its possible to move mdadm RAID disks to another system? | 01:06 |
| maurer | Gh0sty: Thanks, I'll look into that (already using thunderbird) | 01:06 |
| McFrosty | Mdg I got it!!! | 01:06 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: yes it does | 01:06 |
| iShock | So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? | 01:06 |
| iShock | So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? | 01:06 |
| maurer | CojaBo: Yes it is. | 01:06 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: it shows it in syslog | 01:06 |
| node357 | poor gerber I don't know what to suggest to you | 01:06 |
| Gh0sty | maurer: and furthermore i love the google calendar plugin :p | 01:06 |
| jrib | Astr4y: don't install the metapackage for kernel images. Though you probably want them, since they might have security updates | 01:06 |
| maurer | CojaBo: Just copy the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf from system to system | 01:06 |
| gurph | removing compiz via "sudo apt-get remove compiz{something}'' did not solve my problem. | 01:06 |
| crazyryan | Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out and so is the unlock button. | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, Repeating is not necessary and wont get you help any sooner | 01:06 |
| crazyryan | Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out and so is the unlock button. | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crazyryan, Repeating is not necessary and wont get you help any sooner | 01:06 |
| crazyryan | lol Jack | 01:06 |
| crazyryan | I understand, but it is very busy in here. | 01:06 |
| crazyryan | Just wanted to be heard, sorry. | 01:07 |
| Astr4y | jrib: I don't want it to update anything, the only time I want apt to touch my kernel is when i tell it to | 01:07 |
| stegel | BLZ, any experience getting audio over hdmi to work on the HD3450 | 01:07 |
| maurer | Gh0sty: I used to use google calendar based stuff, but I'm working for a group that's paranoid (I know, unfounded) that google will steal info about what's going on, so everything needs to be local or on the org's servers :/ | 01:07 |
| gurph | if i reinstall ubuntu over existing installation, does it keep my files and settings? | 01:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | raylu:i installed moc but cant seem to run it with command moc yet it is intalled, how do i run moc | 01:07 |
| ubuntu987 | hello, my boot splash has disappeared, why? how do i get it back? | 01:07 |
| Gh0sty | crazyryan: is your user in the wheel group ? | 01:07 |
| CoJaBo | maurer: Is there anything special I need to do? On boot-up, the new system immediately began to rebuild the array, destroying all data on them. | 01:07 |
| crazyryan | The wheel group? | 01:07 |
| Morchuboo | ubuntu987: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash" from a terminal | 01:07 |
| crazyryan | (First time using Ubuntu) | 01:07 |
| jrib | Astr4y: that's already what it does. apt doesn't upgrade anything unless you tell it to | 01:07 |
| Gh0sty | crazyryan: otherwise i dont think you can become root and so you cant change services ... | 01:07 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Accident D: Can you help tho? | 01:07 |
| maurer | CojaBo: Rebuild? It's supposed to do --assemble | 01:07 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: you got any tips? | 01:07 |
| ubuntu987 | Morchuboo, thank you :) | 01:07 |
| domoso | Any ideas how to get nautilus to display the side pane? F9 doesn't do anything. View menu doesn't have a Side pane option. | 01:07 |
| maurer | CojaBo: At least, that's what it's done in my experience... | 01:08 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: I ve been trying many hours :S | 01:08 |
| nickrud | Gh0sty, crazyryan ubuntu doesn't use wheel; admin is the name of the group you need to be in | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, Please have patience and wait for an answer, repost the queastion every few minutes or rephrase it if you are not getting an answer | 01:08 |
| domoso | gconf-editor shows the pane enabled. But I'll be damned if I can see it. | 01:08 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: again does the exports entry contain the hostname/ip of the client in question? | 01:08 |
| Astr4y | jrib: What i mean is, when i do apt-get upgrade, if it sees an updated kernel it will isntall it without giving me the option to deselect it, i'm not using gnome or kde. | 01:08 |
| maurer | (I've got an external chassis that I use mdadm for raiding and I switch it between two machines all the time, as long as the mdadm.confs are the same it works the same for me...) | 01:08 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: sounds like you try to mount the share from an unauthorized client | 01:08 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: I'm going crazy with this, Ubuntu has been nothing but a problem thus far .. | 01:08 |
| Gh0sty | maurer: well the lightning is just a personal calendar for you in thunderbird, if you want it groupwise i'd say try some webdav calendars ... (if its small enough this should work) | 01:08 |
| Morchuboo | ubuntu987: Is everything saying ok? it switches to showing the text if there is an issue booting. | 01:08 |
| crazyryan | main group: admin | 01:08 |
| CoJaBo | maurer: The data (luckily just test data and some backup files) was already destroyed by the time the system reached the login prompt. | 01:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | i installed moc but cant seem to run it with command moc yet it is intalled, how do i run moc | 01:09 |
| domoso | I've even purged and re-installed nautilus....still not Fing working | 01:09 |
| Gh0sty | maurer: hold on i was just looking into a package but not really tested it. just need to find back the url | 01:09 |
| Astr4y | Pirate_Hunter: mocp | 01:09 |
| jrib | Astr4y: apt-get upgrade should not pull in new kernels. New kernels get pulled in with linux-image-generic depending on a new package and the new kernel should only get installed if you ask for it explicitly or apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:09 |
| nickrud | crazyryan, in a terminal, type groups . You should see admin in the list you get back | 01:09 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: well I entered the IP of the computer that was going to mount the share in /etc/exports... like /home 192.168.1.64 | 01:09 |
| crazyryan | it returns admin | 01:09 |
| iShock | So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? I try to burn it, brasero doesn't find it. | 01:10 |
| perillux1 | I am hosting a small website with apache2, is there any way to monitor the traffic? a logfile? | 01:10 |
| stegel | if i go to sound settings I see "HDA ATI HDMI" but the only option I have is IEC958..any idea how to set this as my sound card? | 01:10 |
| Gh0sty | maurer: chandlerproject.org looks very promising (did not test it yet ... ) | 01:10 |
| BigMike | ????what is the name of the program that backs up ubuntu to restore so you can run it like it was before??? | 01:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | iShock: try Gnomebaker.. iv'e never had much luck w/ brasero | 01:10 |
| hidronico | okay so ive extracted the firmware for bcmxxx to /lib/firmware after this the alternate driver program doesnt recognize anything i think the instructions for fwcutter are incomplete any suggestions are appreciated ! | 01:10 |
| jrib | Astr4y: anyway, you can choose to ignore my warning about security and remove that package. And speaking of new kernels, I have to go load one now, be back in a bit :) | 01:10 |
| joyrom | hi all | 01:10 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: I have to get this to work :( | 01:10 |
| joyrom | how are you | 01:10 |
| domoso | IndyGunFreak, are you aware of the Nautilus conf file? I can't seem to find it. | 01:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | iShock: is brasero not seeing the blank disk, or is Xubuntu not seeing it? | 01:11 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: and thx 4 trying to help me :) | 01:11 |
| iShock | IndyGunFreak: Seems to be Xubuntu.. | 01:11 |
| joyrom | anybody can help me for pcmcia umts card? | 01:11 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: strange, it should work if its the correct ip | 01:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | domoso: nautilus conf file? | 01:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hi joyrom welcome to ubuntu support.. If you have a support question please ask or for chat there are many other channels | 01:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | iShock: hmm, dn't know | 01:11 |
| ubuntu987 | Morchuboo, i think there is no issue booting whatsoever but maybe it is.. anyway thanks for tip | 01:11 |
| mogi22 | jrib, haha i did it! thanx to you and look. the bootE floppy linux mounts disks!!! | 01:11 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.66:/home | 01:12 |
| domoso | IndyGunFreak, yeah, I can't get the side pane back, I figured I'd look into a conf file. I think everything in linux had a conf file. | 01:12 |
| crazyryan | nickrud, i got admin back... is that good or bad? | 01:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Astr4y: ty weird irssi aint notifying me of ppl sending me posts, could never get it to system beep but at least the window number should highlight :/ | 01:12 |
| iShock | IndyGunFreak: Nothing at all in dmesg. | 01:12 |
| jrib | mogi22: ah, cool | 01:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | iShock: can you play a DVD movie? | 01:12 |
| BigMike | caffiene is good for DVD | 01:12 |
| iShock | IndyGunFreak: Yeah, played House a couple days ago, why? | 01:12 |
| iShock | IndyGunFreak: [ 4.916669] ata2.00: ATAPI: UJDA770 DVD/CDRW, 1.00, max UDMA/33 | 01:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | iShock: just ruling out hardware. | 01:13 |
| iShock | [ 4.934212] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM MATSHITA UJDA770 DVD/CDRW 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 | 01:13 |
| nickrud | crazyryan, that's good, in that you're in the right group; odd, that you can't access services. Try system->admin->software sources | 01:13 |
| joyrom | I have kernel 2.6.27-9 generic | 01:13 |
| Cosworth1 | hey all can someone answer a question pls. Been using gutsy then hardy for ages and love ubuntu. But what is this intrepid rls? is it better to upgrade or stick with hardy | 01:13 |
| Astr4y | Pirate_Hunter: np, took me a bit of looking around to get moc playing as well | 01:13 |
| Morchuboo | perillux1: apache2 logs by default to /var/log/apache2/ | 01:13 |
| joyrom | my datacard umts is an option GX0202 | 01:13 |
| Morchuboo | ubuntu987: np | 01:13 |
| iShock | Cosworth1: It's almost always better to upgrade. | 01:13 |
| joyrom | when i put my card into pcmcia port | 01:13 |
| Gh0sty | Pirate_Hunter: just read about an nice article which sends you popups on your desktop if someone highlights you ... :) | 01:13 |

| iShock | IndyGunFreak: Anything? | 01:14 |
| crazyryan | still cant access services tho | 01:14 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: damn i was stupid | 01:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gh0sty: that looks handful do you mind sharing the link | 01:14 |
| Gh0sty | AgeManiac: please ask your question and we'll answer if we know anything ... | 01:14 |
| nickrud | crazyryan, then the sudo subsystem is working. I'm not sure about why the button would be greyed out .... | 01:14 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: really stupid | 01:14 |
| AgeManiac | sorry Jack_Sparrow :X | 01:15 |
| Gh0sty | Pirate_Hunter: hold on ... trace it back in my history | 01:15 |
| AgeManiac | well, its a bit long | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ty | 01:15 |
| Jolter | mgolisch: it was commented | 01:15 |
| joyrom | anybody help me? | 01:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gh0sty: ok | 01:15 |
| Morchuboo | perillux1: awstats is a common way to get web stats for your sites. | 01:15 |
| iShock | So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? I try to burn it, brasero doesn't find it. | 01:16 |
| mgolisch | Jolter: lol | 01:16 |
| mgolisch | :) | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, Are you the only user in your system | 01:16 |
| Gh0sty | Pirate_Hunter: http://thorstenl.blogspot.com/2007/01/thls-irssi-notification-script.html | 01:16 |
| AgeManiac | i was trying to install sound drivers from my motherbord cd (which included linux drivers) to play et because i had no sound, anyway, i went agead and installed them as root, then i restarted the pc and when i want to log in a window pops up and says: Start IM tough im | 01:16 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, why? | 01:16 |
| Gh0sty | Pirate_Hunter: you need to also read the comments, there is even a slightly better frontend proposed, i tested it and it works nicely :) | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, Just wanted to make sure your user had burn rights to the cd | 01:17 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Should I sudo k3b and see if it can read it? | 01:17 |
| nickrud | crazyryan, that's part of the policykit authorization system, which I'm not familiar with, sorry | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, give it a shot | 01:17 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Should the light on my drive stay lit? | 01:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gh0sty: ty really loving wmii especially default keys, allows straight use from install compared to the other ones i tried :'( | 01:18 |
| Cosworth1 | it may be a bad disc, i find ubuntu doesnt seem to pick up cheap media to well iShock | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, I would not think so | 01:19 |
| mgolisch | iShock: no, if it does that it probably means the drive cant read/identify the media | 01:19 |
| AgeManiac | i was trying to install sound drivers from my motherbord cd (which included linux drivers) to play et because i had no sound, anyway, i went agead and installed them as root, then i restarted the pc and when i want to log in a window pops up and says: Start IM tough /etc/XII/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/XII/xinit/xinput.d/default, /usr/bin/seahorse_agent: error while loading shared... | 01:19 |

| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Nope, not detected as root, any where else I can look to see if Xubuntu itself can detect it? | 01:19 |
| Cosworth1 | you need to try more then one disc | 01:20 |
| John`anderson | heya | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, does your bios see it | 01:20 |
| Cosworth1 | to narrow it down | 01:20 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Not a clue, how do I check? | 01:20 |
| iShock | Cosworth1: I have. | 01:20 |
| Cosworth1 | ah right k | 01:20 |
| iShock | I'm on like #8 now .. | 01:20 |
| Cosworth1 | :( | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, on boot it should show up, can the drive read a regular cd.. | 01:20 |
| fprintf | Anyone feel like offering some help on a PCI Wireless card resume from suspend issue? | 01:20 |
| Cosworth1 | have you checked for firmware updates for the drive iShock | 01:20 |
| iShock | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, no problem watching House on it, so it can even read DVDs. | 01:21 |
| mgolisch | fprintf: whats the problem= | 01:21 |
| === BLZ is now known as n00b-helper | ||
| mgolisch | iShock: the media is probably incompatible | 01:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | mgolisch: thats something i hadn't considered.. | 01:21 |
| fprintf | mgolisch, the wireless PCI card works great when I do a cold boot. However the card is not recognized upon resume from standby. | 01:21 |
| iShock | mgolisch: Why would it be? It's DVD-R | 01:21 |
| Morchuboo | iShock: Try installing k3b or another burning program - might have better luck. Saying that, they are all front ends to the same tools. might be worth a go though | 01:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iShock, k3b and brasero .. neither see it as a burner.. so no idea other than try a different brand of disk | 01:22 |
| Gh0sty | fprintf: if you click left on your network manager, disable wifi | 01:22 |
| Gh0sty | and then enable wifi again, does that work then ? | 01:22 |
| iShock | It didn't work ... God <beep>, computers suck. | 01:22 |
| mgolisch | iShock: you want to burn a dvd image right? | 01:22 |

| unop | storm-zen, i'm not sure what's causing that - you might want to file a bug report. see !bug | 01:31 |
| Morchuboo | iShock: ok - cdrecord - the program that is used to do the burning still needs the entire contents of the image so it can burn it to the DVD. It gets this over the mounted network drive so is transfering the entire image anyway. If you do it yourself first then the write performance will be much better | 01:31 |

| mgolisch | fprintf: the module names start with ath | 01:41 |
| mgolisch | atleast thats what i think | 01:41 |
| fprintf | mgolisch, so then 'modprobe -list ath*' should work? | 01:41 |
| mgolisch | probably | 01:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Odd-rationale: huh? whats that i just started using wmii today for like an hour i think so wouldnt know what that is | 01:41 |

| Gh0sty | AgeManiac: then you do a chroot, thats like switching to that disk and that local environment | 01:56 |

| mgolisch | dro_: no idea, i installed eclipse in my homedir | 01:57 |
| Cosworth1 | right click - extract | 01:57 |
| Gh0sty | dro_: you should have used developer builds, not install shit from source | 01:58 |
| VideoSmith | bingo thanks! | 01:58 |
| lee1733 | IndyGunFreak: Do I need an extra tool to be able to have separate wallpapers? | 01:58 |
| Cosworth1 | :) | 01:58 |
| unop | Gh0sty, language | 01:58 |
| dro_ | mgolisch, so did I. So, does that mean I don't have to run -clean? | 01:58 |
| knapr | is all kernel stuff C and asm? what is the rest? C and C++? what exactly is written in python in ubuntu? just highlevel stuff like simple GUI-apps or more heavy stuff too? isnt one packaging-system to some linux-distro written in python? | 01:58 |
| AgeManiac | well, im right now at the terminal, /home/ubuntu (from the cd live) so i just type in the terminal chroot apt-get --reinstall install libasound | 01:58 |
| VideoSmith | Wait now what? It is showing me a list of files. | 01:58 |
| mgolisch | dro_: what does that -clean do? | 01:58 |
| Gh0sty | dro_: you have alternate repos with much newer builds if you install ubuntu tweak | 01:58 |
| gerob | Evening, I am looking for someone too guide me through getting my nvidia geforce 8600 gt installed in Ubuntu 8.10! | 01:58 |
| Stormy- | I try to install Ubuntu 8.10 by an ISO.. and by CD to.. but it starts downloading data from Internet instead of using from CD. | 01:58 |
| Hjonthn | alguien sabe como puedo modificar la resolucion de mi monitor | 01:58 |
| Stormy- | why | 01:58 |
| Hjonthn | ? | 01:58 |
| Stormy- | can anyone help me in this? | 01:58 |
| Cosworth1 | VideoSmith well that depends on what it is and how you install it | 01:59 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: how does that xorg.conf look like? | 01:59 |
| symptom | Gh0sty, after I install the non-free-codecs from medibuntu still no luck | 01:59 |
| === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU | ||
| n00b-helper | gerob: try envyng... it's not officially supported, but it works well in my experience | 01:59 |
| dro_ | mgolisch: it makes eclipse review the features / plugin folders to check and apply updated packages | 01:59 |
| n00b-helper | AgeManiac, what are you trying to do? | 01:59 |
| symptom | Gh0sty, with the SWF files that is | 01:59 |
| Stormy- | I try to install Ubuntu 8.10 by an ISO.. and by CD to.. but it starts downloading data from Internet instead of using from CD. | 01:59 |
| dro_ | Gh0sty: How'd I do that? I was asking about this earlier and was suggested to just get the 3.4 version from apt-get | 01:59 |
| dro_ | I'm always open to new ideas... | 01:59 |
| dro_ | Especially ones that limit / eliminate me having to manually update packages... | 02:00 |
| n00b-helper | Stormy- do you mean it does that to install software and updates? | 02:00 |
| unop | knapr, lot of GNOME is written in python (except perhaps the libraries) same with KDE .. lot of APT is written in perl, python and C | 02:00 |
| jorvis_ | I recently switched from gentoo -> ubuntu, but keep having wireless problems. It stops working but the Network Manager still shows I have a strong connection. I have to restart each time - what logs should I be looking in to help find the problem? | 02:00 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: It's got stuff in it, but I'm new to the xorg.conf file! Would you like me to pastebinit? | 02:00 |
| Morchuboo | knapr: the kernel is all C and asm. gnome is mostly C. KDE is mostly c++. Python is used for a lot of gui tools and programs. | 02:00 |
| AgeManiac | n00b-helper: trying to reinstall the sound driver because it wont let me use the ubuntu installed in the HD, so right now im in the live cd trying to repair the static ubuntu :x | 02:00 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: yeah do that | 02:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | just right clicked a window in wmii and put it as fullscreen but i cant get it back to normal again, anyone knows how to get window back to original size? | 02:00 |
| dro_ | Gh0sty, should I just google ubuntu tweak? | 02:00 |
| snowveil | I just put in a new SATA drive in addition to my current partitioned IDE drive, and now a current partition on the IDE drive will not mount | 02:00 |
| Stormy- | n00b-helper : Im doing a fresh install through WUBI.. it starts downloading the data and not using the ISO + CD. | 02:00 |
| Gh0sty | dro_: search for ubuntu tweak with google, install it (its a deb file) open that one, then start that tool, its pretty self explanetory | 02:00 |
| Jony | hey | 02:00 |
| === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC | ||

| gTea | i installed the vim-full package: sudo apt-get install vim-full, and when I run vim in easy mode: vim -y, gVim opens up in easy mode. I'm wondering how the -y option that's added to vim serves as a link to gVim so I can run vim from the terminal in easy mode with vim -y. Any help is appreciated. | 02:01 |

| fprintf | mgolisch, I found an error in my dmesg about ath_hal 'proprietary' taints kernel. Other than that, I don't see anything. I might have to just live with plugging and uplugging the card. | 02:01 |
| n00b-helper | Stormy- i thought that was normal though for updates and software | 02:01 |
| dro_ | Gh0sty: Thanks, I'll check 'em out. | 02:01 |
| VideoSmith | What I'm trying to load is kdenlive. It's like Linux's WMM. | 02:01 |
| Stormy- | I installed the same in another pc.. it worked fine :o | 02:02 |
| knapr | PT=? | 02:02 |
| Stormy- | Why not on this system, I even downloaded the 64bit version ISO. | 02:02 |
| Trikster | Can anyone help me find my www dir for my server? | 02:02 |
| Stormy- | it also gives the same. | 02:02 |
| n00b-helper | Stormy- does the install complete? | 02:02 |
| fwaokda | how can i get ubuntu to repair my harddisk?? | 02:02 |
| jorvis_ | Trikster: /var/www ? | 02:02 |
| Stormy- | it will take days to complete.. my internet is not that fine. | 02:02 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: id try to get back to the original xorg.conf, this one doesnt look like it is | 02:02 |
| mdg | I have to reset my smb password after every few times I connect. (Ubuntu 8.10). Any one ever have this issue? | 02:02 |
| Morchuboo | Trikster: default is /var/www/html | 02:03 |
| Trikster | jorvis_, no, it isn't there. | 02:03 |
| Trikster | Nor there. | 02:03 |
| n00b-helper | Stormy- i see... and you said this was using wubi? | 02:03 |
| Stormy- | Yes. | 02:03 |
| Stormy- | I want to keep XP for my games, thats why using Wubi. | 02:03 |
| n00b-helper | Stormy | 02:03 |
| Stormy- | I have both the versions, 32bit and 64bit.. tried both of them. | 02:03 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: i think if you boot the recovery entry in grub it has an option to fix the xserver, i think it replaces the xorg.conf with the default allmost empty one | 02:03 |
| Stormy- | ISO + Cds. | 02:03 |
| unop | gTea, vim -y enables "click and type" which isn't available in the terminal - so i guess, that's why gvim is used | 02:04 |
| CoJaBo | mdg: I have one SMB share that won't connect at all | 02:04 |
| butt3rz | mdg: i think that samba disconnects after a short period of time if not used by default | 02:04 |
| Morchuboo | Trikster: try looking in the config file for the site. Should be /etc/apache2/sites-available/ the file will have the base directory in it (document root directive). | 02:05 |
| Trikster | Oh, wow, sorry jorvis_ and Morchuboo I am part blind, I didn't see it at the very bottom. | 02:05 |
| Trikster | Thanks! | 02:05 |
| Trikster | I don't use Apache :O | 02:05 |
| dotblank | How do I get the Dualshock 3 to work in ubuntu? | 02:05 |
| Trikster | Bye | 02:05 |
| mgolisch | dotblank: tried google? | 02:06 |
| gTea | unop: i'm pretty certain that click and type mode is available from the terminal | 02:06 |
| sdfjhjk | gem install xdcc-fetch | 02:06 |
| mdg | butt3rz, I'm ok with a disconnect, but it takes an smbpasswd everytime. I'll look at the smb.conf to see if there is anything about a timeout. | 02:07 |
| BobPenguin | Hello there. I have not been able to update my wine install for a while now, it seems there is a problem with the dependencies. Any hints? I get this message on the update manager: W: Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/wine_1.1.12~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) | 02:07 |
| dotblank | mgolisch: but to not much luck | 02:07 |
| gTea | unop, :set mouse=a enables mouse positioning, and the other options set for easy mode should enable vim to act like a click and type editor, even in the terminal, no? | 02:07 |
| mgolisch | BobPenguin: looks like a wrong proxy server is set up | 02:08 |
| Digital8 | Is there a command to reveal what processor model is being used in Ubuntu? (e.g. Core2Duo E6500) | 02:08 |
| mgolisch | Digital8: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 02:08 |
| VideoSmith | Hey guys, a problem with a .tar.gz file. I extracted from it and it made another folder. I don't know what to do next. | 02:08 |
| Morchuboo | BobPenguin: it looks like you were using a proxy, on port 4001 but it is no longer running | 02:08 |
| butt3rz | mdg: man smbpasswd | 02:08 |
| unop | gTea, yea, but it's also mappings like ctrl+c, ctrl+v, etc that are somewhat obtuse in a terminal - i'm not sure about this tho, you might like to ask in #vim | 02:08 |
| mgolisch | VideoSmith: look in the folder? follow the instructions there or follow instructions from site/person you got the file drom | 02:09 |
| mgolisch | from | 02:09 |
| techsupport | is anyone here familiar with hlstatsx ? | 02:09 |
| BobPenguin | oh, ok. I played with some prosyx a while ago, but i'm not using any now. Can I fix this on synaptic? | 02:09 |
| gTea | unop, thanks for your time | 02:09 |
| mgolisch | BobPenguin: in the setting in synaptic disable the proxy there | 02:09 |
| BobPenguin | thanks a lot mgolish | 02:10 |
| BobPenguin | thanks a lot mgolisch | 02:10 |

| mgolisch | dotblank: plug it in and try? | 02:10 |
| Morchuboo | BobPenguin: yep - in synaptic select Settings-->Preferences. The proxy should be specified on the network tab | 02:10 |
| lwizard1 | hi | 02:10 |
| dotblank | mgolisch: it works plugged in but I can't find it in bluetooth | 02:11 |
| unop | gTea, apparently you can source evim.vim within a vim session to make it behave in easy mode - as per :help easy | 02:11 |
| lwizard1 | is there a application to download flickr albums? | 02:11 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: startx still give me the same error "no screens found" :( | 02:11 |
| mgolisch | nothing more? | 02:11 |
| mgolisch | the whole logfile would be helpful | 02:12 |
| venport | I have a noob question: My display is stuck at 800x600 but i know it will go a lot larger, (around 1680x1050). Anyone willing to help me fix this? | 02:12 |
| unop | gTea, how do you exit vim when it's like that? :) | 02:12 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: its /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:13 |
| raylu | what should i use to calculate crc3 checksums (of files)? | 02:13 |

| R0b0t1 | I've been trying to reset my system time (as Ubuntu doesn't allow you to pick central, for some reason...), however, once I restart, the changes are lost. | 02:13 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: Thanks!! Here it is....http://pastebin.com/f30eee57b | 02:13 |
| butt3rz | venport: try system/preferences/screen resolution | 02:13 |
| unop | mgolisch, yea, though ESC doesn't take you into normal mode anymore | 02:13 |
| mgolisch | unop: ok i dont use vim that often | 02:13 |
| mgolisch | :) | 02:13 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: nopaste the complete logfile | 02:14 |
| gh0st2 | vim is your god | 02:14 |
| venport | butt3rz Thanks I did that, but it only lists the 800x600 and somthing like 800x640, but my windows computer (connected to the same monitor via kvm) will go to to 1680x1050 | 02:14 |
| dotblank | mgolisch: I ran hidd --server --nocheck -n and it found the dualshock 3 however jstest shows it unresponsive | 02:14 |
| Morchuboo | venport: sounds like X is failing to DDC probe your monitor properly. Might need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf - what monitor do you have | 02:14 |
| Toadlips | moglisch: sorry about that! Here it is: http://pastebin.com/f77631bf9 | 02:15 |
| venport | I have an acer AL2216wbd | 02:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | venport, what video card? | 02:15 |
| Morchuboo | venport: that will likely be the issue. ddc probes through kvms often fail. | 02:16 |
| butt3rz | venport: what is your video card? did you try to update your video driver? | 02:16 |
| venport | Jack_sparrow: just the POS built into the motherboard | 02:16 |
| Morchuboo | venport: to test, try plugging the monitor directly to the machine and rebooting. | 02:16 |
| R0b0t1 | I've been trying to reset my system time (as Ubuntu doesn't allow you to pick central, for some reason...), however, once I restart, the changes are lost. | 02:16 |
| venport | But it went to a larger Resolution before i installed Ubunto | 02:16 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: it try to use the vesa driver, put a driver "nvidia" line somewhere in the device section in xorg.conf and try to run xserver again | 02:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | venport, it still has a chipset, and please lose the pox type of comments | 02:16 |
| gTea | unop, Ctrl-o allows you a one-off in command mode ;) | 02:17 |
| slipst | raylu, libarchive-zip-perl | 02:17 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: literally just the word "nvidia" in the device section? | 02:17 |
| mgolisch | no : driver "nvidia" | 02:17 |
| slipst | raylu, then you do 'crc32 filename' | 02:17 |
| venport | Oh sorry did not know that was an issue, (will not happen again), not sure what the video card is i'll have to take a look. I'll try going around the KVM | 02:18 |
| jorvis_ | anyone know where logs for wireless are found? | 02:18 |
| venport | Thanks,, i'm sure i'll be back | 02:18 |
| unop | gTea, that's horrible :) -- anyway. vim -S $(locate evim.vim | tail -1) | 02:18 |

| Cosworth1 | one last thing before i go if thats ok guys, thanks for the last answer. I need to make a bin bash txt file to autostart a program, is there a way to make it wait before it starts like wait 5 first then the rest of the code needed? | 02:19 |
| unop | gTea, you could create an alias for that. alias evim='vim -S $(locate evim.vim | tail -1)' | 02:19 |
| Cosworth1 | i have an app that loads first before i want it to | 02:20 |

| bluedragon | I have question if some one can please help me out | 02:25 |
| iShock | mgolisch: Caught you in Windows. | 02:25 |
| unop | gTea, maybe you need to specify the right evim.vim - that command i gave you uses the last one found - which might not be the right one | 02:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | 02:25 |
| SonofC4 | ehats appsdb | 02:25 |

| Jack_Sparrow | SonofC4, cool.. enjoy | 02:28 |
| Morchuboo | venport: good stuff | 02:28 |
| bluedragon | i have nvidia version 177 | 02:28 |
| SonofC4 | No im confused what am i supposed to do now download the app? | 02:28 |
| CoJaBo | Does anyone know if its possible to move mdadm RAID disks to another system? | 02:28 |
| bluedragon | screen resolution is 1280 X 800 | 02:29 |
| unop | gTea, maybe this. vim -S /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/evim.vim | 02:29 |
| CoJaBo | Does anyone know if its possible to move mdadm RAID disks to another system? | 02:29 |
| gTea | unop, haha, i do no know. Thanks again for taking the time out. I'm curious about the mechanism used when vim -y and evim calls gvim, though | 02:29 |
| Morchuboo | venport: is that how you want it? | 02:29 |
| CoJaBo | oops, didn't mean to post that twice :/ | 02:29 |
| lee1733 | Is there a program that allows you to have seperate wallpapers using a twinview setup? Aside from making one large wallpaper in gimp. My monitors have different resolutions so this doesn't work for me. | 02:29 |
| gTea | unop, if i could find out where that happens, i'm sure i could change the symbolic link | 02:29 |
| venport | Morchuboo, now is it going to set its self at the lower resolution every time turn it on now that it's plugged back into the KVM? or is there a way to make it stay | 02:29 |
| fwaokda_ | whats the command to unmount a drive? | 02:29 |
| venport | Morchuboo at the moment it is | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CoJaBo, it is supposed to work.. I quit using raid a few years back | 02:30 |
| bluedragon | so would could be with my resolution | 02:30 |
| gTea | unop, no dice | 02:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fwaokda_, umount | 02:30 |
| unop | gTea, i'm sure it's not a symlink .. as the help topic for 'easy' says - a GUI environment is used if one is available - sounds like vim deciding that for you. | 02:30 |
| smartguyz | flash not working in firfox | 02:30 |
| fwaokda_ | Jack_Sparrow, how do i know what to put after it though... how do i find out what my drives label is? | 02:30 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: add a line : Busid "1:0:0" to the device section and see if that helps | 02:30 |
| Morchuboo | venport: you will need to add a modeline to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:30 |
| Morchuboo | !modeline | 02:30 |
| ubottu | A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl | 02:30 |
| CoJaBo | Jack_Sparrow: The problem I had was that on boot the new system immediately began rebuilding it and destroyed all data. | 02:31 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: i think the driver is puzzled as it doesnt know which one to use | 02:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fwaokda_, sudo fdisk -l for a start.. man umount for the second but let me see if I have an example for you | 02:31 |
| butt3rz | smartguyz: did you install the restricted package? | 02:31 |
| venport | Morchuboo, like i said before i'm really new to this (less than 24 hours with linux) how do i change the config file? | 02:31 |
| venport | is there a tut out there | 02:31 |
| fwaokda_ | k ty | 02:31 |
| DigitalFiz | ubuntu rocks! | 02:32 |
| fwaokda_ | Jack_Sparrow, would my main drive already be unmounted though if im in on a usb drive? | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Umount: Example assumes the first partition..../eject /dev/sdc1 and umount /dev/sdc1 (with umount you could also use the mountpoint like umount /media/USBDRIVE | 02:32 |
| DigitalFiz | i submitted a bug and it was confirmed and being worked on withen an hour lol | 02:32 |
| Barridus | hmmm, can anyone answer an easy and quick (i assume?) question about where to install the boot loader for a dual boot ubuntu/xp box? | 02:32 |
| CoJaBo | lol | 02:32 |
| exmachina1 | yay 64bit flash and java released | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, mbr | 02:32 |
| Morchuboo | venport: from a terminal (Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal) type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" this will open the file as admin | 02:33 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, so what would that be then out of the options i am presented with | 02:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fwaokda_, you can type mount but it spews lots more than you really want | 02:33 |
| mgolisch | exmachina1: is that new? theres been java for 64bit for years | 02:33 |
| CoJaBo | DigitalFiz: I submitted a bug in Firefox 2 years ago and it still isn't fixed :P | 02:33 |
| smartguyz | butt3rz: what's the name of the file? | 02:33 |
| exmachina1 | mgolisch, 64bit java-plugoi | 02:33 |
| matteo_ | Hi all, i have a RGB cable that connect my new lcd tv to my laptop ( a fujitso amilo PI), my laptop detects the TV but when i apply the new resolution i still see "no signal" on the tv... ANy tips? (with windows all works fine with FN+f4) | 02:33 |
| exmachina1 | mgolisch, plugin** | 02:33 |
| gTea | unop, interesting. Wouldn't that be accomplished with some logic that looks for (gvim) and if it's found, it runs it instead of vim. If so, finding where that logic is and modifying might help, no? | 02:33 |
| Barridus | i can pick sdb, sdb1 through sdb4 | 02:34 |
| Morchuboo | venport: before you open the file back it up! "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, single drive or dual.. and it doesnt offer to install grub on mbr.. or are you trying to restore/repair grub | 02:34 |
| exmachina1 | mgolisch, you basically don't need nspluginwrapper anymore for flash/java | 02:34 |
| venport | OK will do morchuboo | 02:34 |
| Morchuboo | then read the info about modelines and add the one you want | 02:34 |
| Morchuboo | !modeline | 02:34 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: I cannot believe it!!! Do you know how long I've been trying to get this to work???? :) | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, Do you have one drive or two? | 02:34 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, i'm just trying to install an ubuntu partition (or set of them with swap, boot, / | 02:34 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: Thank you so much for your assistance!! I really appreciate it!! | 02:34 |
| gil | Hey,I'm getting choppy video playback in full screen (Ubuntu 8.04) and I'm getting the impression that it's due to my ATI card. Does anyone know if that'd be the case? | 02:34 |
| venport | Great thanks lots of help | 02:35 |
| Barridus | i did so but it just skips right by and boots into xp | 02:35 |
| bluedragon | Any one have a solution for a the display being to big i have nvdia drivers install version 177 currenty display mode is 1280 X 800 but everthing still kind of big in windows it perfect plz help | 02:35 |
| Barridus | so i'm assuming i put the boot loader in the wrong place | 02:35 |
| TheFunkbomb | New question. It seems as though I will only need XP for CS2 and Firefox to play Literati. Is there an easy way to resize the partition to give Ubuntu more room? | 02:35 |
| n00b-helper | gil: could be... what drivers have you installed? or are you using the standard driver? | 02:35 |
| Morchuboo | venport: no prob | 02:35 |
| fwaokda_ | Jack_Sparrow, well my ubuntu and windows vista both wont boot due to the hdd being messed up I believe. I'm wanting to repair it (thinking its bad sectors or something like that) In windows I'd use chkdsk. What is the equivalent in ubuntu? | 02:35 |
| dotblank | How do I determine the Product ID of a connected bluetooth device | 02:35 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: i had problems like that before, thats why i guessed it needs that busid thing | 02:35 |
| mgolisch | :) | 02:35 |
| exmachina1 | TheFunkbomb, resizing your partition is NOT a trivial tisk | 02:35 |
| exmachina1 | task* | 02:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 02:35 |
| 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 | 02:35 |
| mgolisch | Toadlips: you are welcome | 02:36 |
| exmachina1 | it's a VERY VERY non-trivial task | 02:36 |
| TheFunkbomb | exmachina1, I figured as much :( | 02:36 |
| techsupport | can someone help me installing HlstatsX ? | 02:36 |
| fwaokda_ | ty | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:36 |
| exmachina1 | TheFunkbomb, it would be easier to just copy everything you need to a hard drive and just re-inall | 02:36 |
| exmachina1 | reinstall* | 02:36 |
| gil | n00b-helper: I didn't manually download any drivers, I went into Hardware Drivers, and enabled "ATI accelerated graphics driver" and it download them for me | 02:36 |
| Barridus | i wish i had an idea what to pick here | 02:36 |
| Toadlips | mgolisch: I think I'll try to find some documentation on how to configure the xorg.conf file so that I can be a little more self-reliant and maybe return the favor to someone else! :) | 02:36 |
| gil | n00b-helper: So, I guess that's standard, right? | 02:37 |
| === thebleh is now known as ZakK-- | ||
| TheFunkbomb | exmachina1, ugh. I was hoping that wasn't the case. | 02:37 |
| n00b-helper | yes it would be standard | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, I asked a couple times how many drives.. | 02:37 |
| Barridus | oh i must have misunderstood | 02:37 |
| Barridus | there are ... 4 drives on this box | 02:37 |
| smartguyz | butt3rz: what's the name of the file? I installed macromedia flash plugin.... | 02:37 |
| Barridus | 2 internal, two usb | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, windows and ubuntu on internals? | 02:38 |
| Barridus | well only one drive is a system drive | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, I dont care aboutdata drives just os | 02:38 |
| Barridus | the others are just for data/madia | 02:38 |
| Barridus | as far as i'm aware, i just need to deal with the one | 02:38 |
| gil | n00b-helper: Are there other drivers I should be using or is there something else I should be looking at to get video playing smoothly? | 02:38 |
| n00b-helper | gil: see my private message | 02:39 |
| Barridus | and need to pick which partition or what not to put the boot loader? | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, agreed are both win and ubu on the same drive and which drive is it | 02:39 |
| Barridus | it appears to be sdb, and i want both on one | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, is your system set to boot windows on that second drive position.. | 02:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, assuming windows is sdb1 | 02:40 |
| Barridus | i would assume so as it just does so without my say so | 02:40 |
| Barridus | yes xp is on sdb1 | 02:40 |
| butt3rz | smartguyz: i think it is flashpluggin-nonfree | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, and xp has booted from there so sdb is the mbr you want to write grub into | 02:41 |
| VideoSmith | Guys I've got a bit of a problem that I tried to have answered before but didn't get too much of an answer. I am working on downloading this program. I got a .tar.gz file and when I extracted, it gave me a folder. Where do I go from here? | 02:41 |
| smartguyz | flash not working in firefox, can anyone help me had to reload ubuntu | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, sda1 is the normal boot drive for windows | 02:41 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, ok so i pick SDB? the description of such is what appears to be a serial number for the drive hardware | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | VideoSmith, read the instructions on the site where you downloaded that program | 02:42 |
| smartguyz | Dedicated UBUNTU 8.04 system | 02:42 |
| VideoSmith | Alright. | 02:42 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, its size appears to be the full size of the drive, not a partition | 02:42 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: or look for and install.txt inside the folder | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, that would be uuid | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 02:42 |
| ubottu | 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) | 02:42 |
| smartguyz | had everything working but decided to get rid of XP | 02:42 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: Ah I've got something there. | 02:42 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: or a readme.txt | 02:42 |
| butt3rz | smartguyz: i think it is flashplugin-nonfree | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, are you running the ubuntu livecd installer program | 02:42 |
| Barridus | yes | 02:42 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: it gave me this: cmake . (If you want to install in a different path, use instead: cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/path) make To install, become root: sudo make install (enter root password at prompt) | 02:43 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, for hardy | 02:43 |
| smartguyz | had it working in 7.05 | 02:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, hardy is fine.. | 02:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 7.04 | 02:43 |
| smartguyz | now I upgraded to 8.04 not working.... | 02:43 |
| Barridus | !shell | 02:43 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:43 |
| Mr_Integral | kinda off topic but: does any one know if i buy a domain from godaddy.com and a webserver if they will have php and mysql loaded allready or do i need to install them some how? | 02:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, but if it is not seeing your windows partition I would back out of the installer | 02:44 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: ok just type in a terminal window cd /home/kelbizzle/path-to-folder | 02:44 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, it is | 02:44 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: then type sudo make then sudo make install | 02:44 |
| butt3rz | smartguyz: or try ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:44 |
| zach | Hi, which video driver should i choose when install arch in virtualbox? | 02:44 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, i can list what it says completely if that makes a difference | 02:44 |
| kelbizzle | Mr_Integral: it will be preinstalled already | 02:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, sudo fdisk -l will help me from a terminal session | 02:45 |
| kelbizzle | Mr_Integral: they set it up | 02:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | last letter is L | 02:45 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: thanks m8 :) | 02:45 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: your welcome homie! | 02:45 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, well that'll be hard to do i think, as i'm not on that box and i can't find a way to get into a terminal session | 02:45 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: lol | 02:46 |
| ziroday | Mr_Integral: asking in #ubuntu-offtopic might be better | 02:46 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, that box is just sitting at the "advanced options" of the livecd installer | 02:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, ctrl-alt-F1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc and F7 to get out | 02:46 |
| krazed | Mr_Integral: They will. | 02:46 |
| giorgio | scusate se rompo un'altra vola ma mi serve di nuovo il link della chat in italiano | 02:46 |
| bluedragon | anyone know a good tutorial make your ubuntu like the matrix lol | 02:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, if you are booting XP on sdb1 fine then write to the mbr of sdb | 02:46 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: slight problem | 02:47 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 02:47 |
| VideoSmith | It gave me that. | 02:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluedragon, See gnome-look.org | 02:47 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: just try sudo make install | 02:47 |
| bluedragon | looked there couldn't find a matrix theme | 02:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !theme | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 02:47 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: alright foo (lol) | 02:47 |
| kelbizzle | VideoSmith: HAHAHA MY NIG! | 02:47 |
| kelbizzle | Could someone help me troubleshoot a sound issue? I have a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02). All the clues say it should be working. | 02:48 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, well i hit ctrl-alt-f1 as you said, it appears to be hung at "loading please wait" | 02:48 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: cmon m8 lets go hit Microsoft. | 02:48 |
| VideoSmith | lol jk | 02:48 |
| n00b-helper | kelbizzle: have you checked to see if it's supported? | 02:48 |
| kelbizzle | n00b-helper: yes sir alsa said it is. | 02:48 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: sorry it still says this: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 02:49 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, should i just bounce the box and start over, and put boot loader on sdb? | 02:49 |
| VideoSmith | This thing is getting pretty old. | 02:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, I would start over create manually two ext3 and a swap and Personally I would move cables and move sdb to sda and go for iut | 02:50 |
| VideoSmith | kelbizzle: I attempted in another root shell (not that it'd help) and it still gives me that. | 02:51 |
| exmachina1 | kelbizzle, pastebin lsmod | 02:51 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, i can't switch the cables, they are two different form factors (system is ide, data is sata) | 02:52 |
| exmachina1 | kelbizzle, actually , apt-get wgetpastebin | 02:52 |
| bluedragon | how do i install a themes gnome-look.com gdm themes seem not work only the gtk.2.x | 02:52 |
| exmachina1 | er apt-get wgetpaste | 02:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, Ok.. mixing ide and sata has its own set of issues.. | 02:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, SDB it is | 02:53 |
| exmachina1 | kelbizzle, then do "lsmod | grep ath | wgetpaste" and "lspci -vv | wgetpaste" | 02:53 |
| VideoSmith | This is pretty damn dumb. | 02:53 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, ok i will try sdb | 02:53 |
| Netham45 | How would I make a partition that takes up the entire drive from the CLI | 02:53 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, it's sort of what my gut told me but i didn't want to bork the os install without asking someone smarter than myself | 02:54 |
| exmachina1 | VideoSmith, did you do ./configure | 02:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45, mkfs | 02:54 |
| VideoSmith | hmmm | 02:54 |
| VideoSmith | I'll try that | 02:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, asking me was your second mistake.. :) | 02:54 |
| VideoSmith | root@uTimothy:~# sudo make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 02:54 |
| * Barridus starts sweating | 02:54 | |
| VideoSmith | wrong one | 02:54 |
| exmachina1 | VideoSmith, did you do ./configure | 02:54 |
| Netham45 | Jack_Sparrow, that'll make a filesystem, not a partition | 02:54 |
| VideoSmith | Yeah. | 02:54 |
| butt3rz | bluedragon: drag and drop the archive into the display properties window | 02:54 |
| Netham45 | I have an unpartiitoned drive | 02:54 |
| VideoSmith | It did this: | 02:54 |
| VideoSmith | -su: /configure: No such file or directory | 02:54 |
| exmachina1 | no /configure | 02:55 |
| exmachina1 | ./configure | 02:55 |
| VideoSmith | oh | 02:55 |
| VideoSmith | duh | 02:55 |
| enovativ | i want to access my windows directory on my linux box thru samba...do i do this at the command line : smb:///nameofwindowsserver/c$ ? | 02:55 |
| exmachina1 | VideoSmith, did you ./configure? the dot is very important | 02:55 |
| VideoSmith | -su: ./configure: No such file or directory | 02:55 |
| VideoSmith | I can see how it can be but it still don't like me. | 02:55 |
| DigitalFiz | jrgp, thanks for telling me to submit a bug they already put it as confirmed and are working on it i suppose | 02:55 |
| exmachina1 | ... | 02:56 |
| Tmob | anyone here know how to control the upload speed on a NAT network? i have a user who is uploading too much and slowing down the entire network | 02:56 |
| Morchuboo | enovativ: you can do it from nautilus - go to places-->home. When the window opens press ctrl-L. you can put it in the address bar then | 02:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45, parted | 02:56 |
| Netham45 | Jack_Sparrow, know an easier way? | 02:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45, livecd and gparted | 02:57 |
| alfdavid | hello! | 02:57 |
| vocx | bballr: probably never, since it makes little sense to have a new kernel. Only security upgrades are available. | 02:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45, gparted-livecd | 02:57 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, install is going. yeah i know this is a "weird" setup but it's something i cobbled together to test to see if ubuntu will work for the purposes a as-of-yet unbuilt new box will need | 02:57 |
| Morchuboo | enovativ: you can also go to Places-->Connect to server, similar to a windows mapped drive then. You may have problems accessing the admin shares though so may want to share out the folders you want on the windows server. | 02:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, np good luck | 02:58 |

| Netham45 | Jack_Sparrow, seriously? you're going to tell me to give you all the facts when you gave me a response that's not what I asked for? wow. | 03:01 |
| Morchuboo | enovativ: mount -t cifs //<server name or ip>/<Share name> -o usrname=<windows user>,password=<password> | 03:01 |
| Beaon | any one avail for some tech support? | 03:01 |
| Morchuboo | enovativ: something like that | 03:01 |
| j-a-k-e | Jack_Sparrow: windows is on sdc (160 ide master) | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !attitude | 03:01 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | j-a-k-e, and it has booted previously from that partition config | 03:01 |
| runningduck | I am trying to disable maximus, but none of the information I have seen on the web seems to work--sessions applet or removing package. How does this process get launched? | 03:02 |
| n00b-helper | Beaon: what's your question? | 03:02 |
| Beaon | I would like to install UDF 2.5 support on Ubuntu 8.10, Im a typically linux newb FYI. +) | 03:02 |
| mgolisch | runningduck: its launched from your session | 03:02 |
| Flannel | Netham45: parted is the correct way. | 03:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | j-a-k-e, set menu to boot hd2,0 for your window install | 03:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flannel, But he didnt like that answer | 03:03 |
| Netham45 | Flannel, I asked if there was an easier way, I'm unfamiliar with parted. | 03:03 |
| j-a-k-e | Jack_Sparrow: I cant say for sure, I just installed 8.10 over 8.04 | 03:03 |
| runningduck | mgolisch, thank, but where? I am fairly new to Ubuntu having used WindowMaker for many years. | 03:03 |
| j-a-k-e | I'll try that, thanks | 03:03 |
| === matt is now known as tropicflite | ||
| Flannel | Netham45: Nope, nothing easier in the CLI | 03:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | j-a-k-e, set menu to boot hd2,0 for your window install.. and try it | 03:03 |
| Netham45 | all I get parted to respond with is, "Unable to open /dev/sdb - unrecognized disk label' | 03:03 |
| mgolisch | runningduck: System-Settings-Session, it should be somewhere there i asume | 03:03 |
| Flannel | Netham45: sudo parted | 03:03 |
| mgolisch | runningduck: atleast thats how i made it start on my eeepc | 03:04 |
| Netham45 | Flannel, that's what gave me the error | 03:04 |
| kelbizzle | Could someone help me troubleshoot a sound issue? I have a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02). All the clues say it should be working. It's recognized in lspci, lshw -c multimedia shows the card and it seems as if the modules are loaded. I have a theory on what might be happening. | 03:04 |
| att0 | I am trying to use an application, but the bottom part is not showing (my display is only 1024 x 768). any ideas? | 03:04 |
| McFrosty | Someone Help me View Youtube on PPC i have Gnash and Totem Plugins installed the videos just turn gray? and dont play whats up with that? | 03:04 |
| Morchuboo | att0: if you press alt and drag anywhere on the window it will let you drag it around higher | 03:05 |
| helo | i haven't been able to install the netbook remix following the launchpad instructions... many of the packages are missing after i add the repos to sources.list | 03:05 |
| att0 | Morchuboo: Perfect! Thank you | 03:05 |
| Morchuboo | att0: np | 03:05 |
| storm-zen | Is there a command to search apt? I thought it was apt-search, but it seems that command doesn't exist? Did my knowledge of other distros creep in? | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Netham45: try cfdisk | 03:05 |
| tropicflite | att0 is there an rc file for the app? | 03:05 |
| Flannel | storm-zen: apt-cache search [stuff] | 03:05 |
| patx | how can i make a ubuntu mail list? | 03:05 |
| lespea | storm-zen: apt-cache search | 03:06 |
| X-722 | Hail all. | 03:06 |
| vocx | McFrosty: I don't want to discourage you, but I believe PPC is pretty much dead. I don't think developers care anymore for that architecture. | 03:06 |
| storm-zen | Flannel: lespea: Thanks. | 03:06 |
| butt3rz | storm-zen: apt-cache search | 03:06 |
| mgolisch | helo: did you refresh the package cache? like apt-get update ?or click refresh in synaptic? | 03:06 |
| helo | yeah... | 03:06 |
| lespea | storm-zen: apt-cache show also gives you info on a package | 03:06 |
| Flannel | mgolisch: sudo apt-get update | 03:06 |
| Flannel | mgolisch: Oh, sorry | 03:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vocx, we dropped it back at edgy | 03:06 |
| Morchuboo | helo: what machine are you trying to install it onto. I have had issues with MSI wind (Advent 4211) | 03:06 |
| runningduck | mgolisch, hmmm, I think Canonical did something odd with my system, a Dell Mini 12 running 8.04+. maximus is not listed under Startup Programs, only under Current Session. I have tried many things with the Session applet, but it keeps coming back. Is there a good ol' fashion text file I can edit to get rid of the thing? | 03:06 |
| vocx | Jack_Sparrow: I know. But I believe some people haven't noticed. | 03:07 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, if for some reason i have to do this again, is it possible to skip the system file installation? it's already there so i'm just redoing it with the boot loader in a useful place | 03:07 |
| Netham45 | Flannel, that's exactly the type of utility I was looking for. | 03:07 |
| Netham45 | Thanks. | 03:07 |
| tropicflite | apt-cache search (name of package) or category. | 03:07 |
| storm-zen | anyone know if a new tab can be created in gnome terminal without the menu bar being present? ( It interferes with jed? ) | 03:07 |
| mgolisch | runningduck: no idea i installed that stuff manualy on normal ubuntu, how did you install it? | 03:07 |
| helo | mgolisch: yeah, i did an aptitude update | 03:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Barridus, Id let the installer do its' thing | 03:07 |
| kelbizzle | storm-zen: ctrl+shift t | 03:07 |
| mgolisch | helo: what packages are missing? | 03:07 |
| helo | Morchuboo: hp 1030nr | 03:07 |
| runningduck | mgolisch: it was preinstalled from Dell. | 03:08 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow, ok, just seemed redundant. XD i'll stop worrying | 03:08 |
| storm-zen | kelbizzle: That's great! Thanks. :) | 03:08 |
| mgolisch | runningduck: oh i see | 03:08 |
| kelbizzle | storm-zen: or you can right click on it | 03:08 |
| storm-zen | kelbizzle: Ah... | 03:08 |
| marcus_ | olá! | 03:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !hi | 03:08 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:08 |
| helo | mgolisch: clutter, clutter-gtk, among others | 03:09 |
| helo | libclutter is there | 03:09 |
| tropicflite | anyone here using screen? Can you share your .screenrc file? | 03:09 |
| mgolisch | helo: probably the instructions where for a different version of ubuntu? | 03:10 |
| GodfatherofEire | How would I add something to my shell's config file? | 03:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brb | 03:10 |
| VideoSmith | Guys, it is still doing it. Are there any more options? Again, I'm trying to type "sudo make install" and it gives me this: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 03:10 |
| borg-queen_ | i am trying to install kubuntu and the installation seems to go through correctly but when it tries to boot into the system i get "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/77944048-0d30-486d-856f-8da948837dd6 does not exist. dropping to shell" | 03:10 |
| Digital8 | videosmith: are you in the right directory? | 03:10 |
| bluedragon | guys whats the best emulator known to ubuntu | 03:11 |
| helo | mgolisch: ahh... didn't notice the different release labels... heh thanks | 03:11 |
| vocx | In Ubuntu 8.04 I remember some graphical interface to specify the monitor model and resolution, it was run from the terminal with "displayconfig-gtk" or something. I can't seem to find access to that interface in Ubuntu 8.10, not from the command line or any other GUI. | 03:11 |
| Hodapp | bluedragon: emulator of what? | 03:11 |
| VideoSmith | DIgital8: What do you mean? | 03:11 |
| bluedragon | like a super emulator for nintendo | 03:11 |
| bluedragon | sony | 03:11 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: How do I get to the correct directory? | 03:11 |
| Digital8 | videosmith: e.g. "cd /home/someplace" | 03:11 |
| bluedragon | gameboy | 03:11 |
| VideoSmith | hmmm | 03:11 |
| Digital8 | videosmith: wherever the files are that you are trying to make | 03:11 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: alright thanks :) | 03:12 |
| tropicflite | godFather, do you have a .bashrc? | 03:12 |
| krazed | Can ubuntu use .RPM? | 03:12 |
| Hodapp | bluedragon: most of those emulators are at near-perfect fidelity and realtime performance, so "best" isn't particularly meaningful if you regard the consoles as equal | 03:12 |
| Morchuboo | bluedragon: there are plenty. dont do emulation myself - search in add remove programs or synaptic | 03:12 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: yes that is the thing | 03:12 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 03:12 |
| lespea | krazed: I think if you install alien you can use .rpm's == but I don't know how well it works | 03:12 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: If you edit the menus (right click applications -- edit) its in the other group | 03:13 |
| tropicflite | krazed, yes it can use rpm. do a GIS for 'alien' | 03:13 |
| Plasticmind | Evening, everyone! | 03:13 |
| Morchuboo | krazed: ubuntu CAN use rpms through alien but results vary. best to find a deb. what are you trying to install? | 03:13 |
| n00b-helper | evening! | 03:13 |
| tropicflite | hey plastic | 03:13 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: what group? | 03:13 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: Other | 03:13 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: its hidden by default | 03:13 |
| krazed | Morchuboo: VMware trial comes in .RPM and .bundle, I'm not 100% sure how to even go about using the .bundle file | 03:13 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: I gave it a shot and it does not recognize the directory. I'm not quite sure it's being done correctly. | 03:14 |
| mgolisch | krazed: what trail? | 03:14 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: linux is case ssensitive, be sure you're doing the caps right | 03:14 |
| mgolisch | usualy they have tgz too | 03:14 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: the thing from the command line still works though | 03:14 |
| krazed | mgolisch: The one on vmware.com | 03:15 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: mmm... well, it didn't run. And it's not in "Other". Are you using 8.10? | 03:15 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: Under desktop, the extracted folder from the .tar.gz file is called kdenlive-0.7.1 and that's what I put. | 03:15 |
| mgolisch | krazed: what product? | 03:15 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: Yes --- you need to run it with gksudo | 03:15 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: did you untar it? | 03:15 |
| mgolisch | krazed: and i think they have a tar.gz too | 03:15 |
| Morchuboo | krazed: the bundle is probably a tar.gz - if so you need to extract it to a folder. | 03:15 |
| TheFunkbomb | is there linux spyware? | 03:15 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: You need to edit the menus to A) Display Other, B) Display Screens and Graphics in Other | 03:15 |
| krazed | Morchuboo: It just says .bundle which I found odd | 03:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: such as "tar -xvjf kdenlive-0.7.1" | 03:16 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: I selected "extract here" and it gave me a folder that is untarred sort of. | 03:16 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: Did I do it right? | 03:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: cd to that folder that you made | 03:16 |
| mgolisch | krazed: do file on it , it will tell you what it is | 03:16 |
| pingyofdoom | hi eimh | 03:16 |
| Morchuboo | probably just need to make it executable then. from terminal do chmod +x <file> | 03:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: cd /home/Desktop/kdenlive-0.7.1 | 03:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: for example | 03:16 |
| eimh | pingyofdoom: hello | 03:16 |
| j-a-k-e | Jack_Sparrow: ok i tried setting the windows drive to hd2,0 under the root setting. Now it just freezes after it shows the "starting up" message | 03:16 |
| VideoSmith | hmmm | 03:16 |
| VideoSmith | cd | 03:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: depending on whatever the folder is called, of course -- and be sure D is caps | 03:17 |
| pingyofdoom | eimh: I didn't think I would find you here | 03:17 |
| VideoSmith | oh caps | 03:17 |
| VideoSmith | kk | 03:17 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: cd means current directory | 03:17 |
| eimh | I wanted to install ubuntu, I downloaded the latest iso and burned it to a cd, but there wasn't a setup.exe in it? | 03:17 |
| eimh | How can i install ubuntu? | 03:17 |
| Digital8 | eimh: did you make a dvd already? | 03:17 |
| pingyofdoom | ubuntu does sound like a fun game... | 03:17 |
| Cosworth1 | yeah Digital8 i told VideoSmith how to extract his files | 03:17 |
| n00b-helper | eimh: a number of ways, are you trying to dual boot? | 03:17 |
| eimh | Digital8: yep, still in my dvd-rom | 03:17 |
| us3rX | eimh, reboot your PC with it in the drive. the rest is history =p | 03:17 |
| Cpudan80 | eimh: Boot off the CD | 03:17 |
| eimh | n00b-helper: what is a dualboot? | 03:17 |
| Digital8 | eimh: do you seek to install it on a raw hard drive? or within windows | 03:17 |
| krazed | VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.i386.bundle.part: a bash script text executable | 03:17 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: this is what I've got in "Other": Archive Mounter, Autorun prompt, Compiz, Decrypt file, Import key, Menu Editor, Metacity, Open folder, Theme installer, Verify signature. | 03:18 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: It still ain't quite working. | 03:18 |
| Rapscallion | I have Xbox Media Center PPA in my third party software sources list but it doesn't appear in the software list after I reload it. What am I doing wrong? | 03:18 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: www.pastebin.com so we can see what's happening | 03:18 |
| n00b-helper | eimh: do you have windows or another operating system installed on your computer, such that you would lke to be albe to chose between that OS or ubuntu when you start the computer? | 03:18 |
| eimh | Digital8: Will I lose my windows when I install ubuntu? isn't ubuntu a program-like-something? | 03:18 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: you're missing stuff - | 03:18 |
| Barridus | Jack_Sparrow - success! thank you for all the advice here | 03:18 |
| n00b-helper | oh boy... eimh: see my private message | 03:18 |
| X-722 | Anyone here use nubuntu? | 03:18 |
| mgolisch | Rapscallion: is there anything in that repo? where there any errors refreshing the package cache? | 03:18 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: that's all I got. This is puzzling, I tell you. | 03:18 |
| Digital8 | eimh: it is an entire operating system. it can, however, be installed within windows on the latest versions -- and can be installed side-by-side with windows as normal | 03:19 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: Unless my stuff is left over from upgrading 7.10 --> 8.04 --> 8.10 | 03:19 |
| us3rX | Looking for some help with Atheros AR242x Wifi and 8.10, i have followed many guides and still getting no where. Wondering if anyone could loan a hand or point me in another direction, i have tried madwifi and that didnt seem to work. =s | 03:19 |
| eimh | Digital8: hmm which should I prefer? | 03:19 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: Can you apt-get install the thing? | 03:19 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: http://pastebin.com/d65940e9a | 03:19 |
| Digital8 | eimh: that depends on how you want to use it | 03:19 |
| Rapscallion | mgolisch: no errors. I copied and pasted the repository path from the XBMC page | 03:19 |
| eimh | Digital8: I liked that cube style look, am I able to install just that feature? | 03:19 |
| Digital8 | eimh: compiz/beryl? as seen on youtube videos? | 03:20 |
| eimh | Digital8: yep, I think so | 03:20 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: type dir and pastebin it | 03:20 |
| GodfatherofEire | How would I add something to my shell's config file? | 03:20 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: I tried running but "command_not_found" said nothing about it. | 03:20 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: I don't quite follow. | 03:20 |
| mgolisch | GodfatherofEire: add it to your ~/.bashrc | 03:20 |
| mgolisch | GodfatherofEire: someone told you before | 03:20 |
| Morchuboo | VideoSmith: you didnt leave a space after the cd and before the / | 03:20 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: All that thing does is edit the underlying xorg file ... you could edit it manually | 03:20 |
| Digital8 | eimh: i have not used the ubuntu-within-windows method myself, but if you want to play games and all that jazz as seen in some of the videos..i'd go with a full install (assuming you're comfortable doing so) | 03:21 |
| VideoSmith | oh okay | 03:21 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: type dir in terminal | 03:21 |
| VideoSmith | Alright. | 03:21 |
| Morchuboo | VideoSmith: also typing "pwd" will tell you where you are (pwd = print working directory) | 03:21 |
| Digital8 | eimh: doing a full install is as simple as rebooting with the dvd in your drive | 03:21 |
| Digital8 | eimh: it will guide you to installing it in a side-by-side form, | 03:21 |
| Digital8 | eimh: if you have two computers, i suggest that you use a 2nd one to ask questions during the install | 03:21 |
| Cpudan80 | eimh: Yes you can install beryl, it works best if you have a good gfx card (non ATI) | 03:21 |
| VideoSmith | I'm at /home/timothy | 03:22 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: I know, but it's simpler. Besides, I'd had to read on what exactly to edit. I'm not sure if it's in the "Monitor" section or where. | 03:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | mgolisch, I didnt notice any name flashing | 03:22 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: you left the space out on the command you pasted us | 03:22 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: yeahh.... did you try apt-getting it? | 03:22 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: alright | 03:22 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk | 03:22 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: just do "cd /home/Desktop" to start , and then do dir -- pastebin it | 03:22 |
| eimh | Digital8: thanks for your advice | 03:22 |
| Cosworth1 | ati works fine Digital8 | 03:22 |
| eimh | will consider it some more i guess | 03:22 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: That is something that is apt-gettable | 03:22 |
| eimh | thanks for help | 03:22 |
| Digital8 | eimh: you're welcome | 03:22 |
| Cpudan80 | Digital8: should do ls - not dir | 03:23 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: yeah, it's not there, But maybe it's "libdisplaymigration0". | 03:23 |
| pingyofdoom | I have installed ubuntu, and I was wondering how to install openbox and compiz at the same time | 03:23 |
| Morchuboo | VideoSmith: also "cd /home/Desktop" will not work, you need "cd /home/Timothy/Desktop/kdenlive-0.7.1" | 03:23 |
| ben_m | h! guy$, I'm a fr33bsd hacker, s0 I kn0w my $h!t lolz i herd this Ubuntu is gud for hackr lik me, is it bettr then linus? | 03:23 |
| Digital8 | Cpudan80: yes, you're right..my bad -- haha | 03:23 |
| shan3 | hi all | 03:23 |
| Digital8 | Cpudan80: I've spent too much time in windows | 03:23 |
| n00b-helper | ben_m: are you joking? | 03:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Digital8: the command still works ;-) | 03:23 |
| mgolisch | pingyofdoom: compiz should be installed allready | 03:23 |
| Lantay77 | gah ubuntu randomly freezed and i had to ctrl + alt + backspace =( | 03:23 |
| ben_m | n00b-helper: wat | 03:23 |
| n00b-helper | i'm not sure if i should be laughing | 03:24 |
| Cpudan80 | I think ls work in windows too .. | 03:24 |
| Morchuboo | VideoSmith: ~ is also a shortcut to your own home directory so "cd ~/Desktop" takes you to your own desktop directory | 03:24 |
| n00b-helper | ben_m: about the hacking and ubuntu and linus and all that | 03:24 |
| Lantay77 | dosnt freeze as much as windows tho! | 03:24 |
| ben_m | n00b-helper: other channel sed saim thing | 03:24 |
| Cosworth1 | also Digital8 its compiz | 03:24 |
| bobby | n00b: i'm laughing too | 03:24 |
| n00b-helper | bobby: good, good. i'm not alone | 03:24 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: It's up. | 03:24 |
| n00b-helper | funny guy | 03:24 |
| Digital8 | Cosworth1: i think you grabbed the wrong name | 03:24 |
| pingyofdoom | You don't get me, I am looking to run both at the same time | 03:24 |
| n00b-helper | successful troll is successful | 03:24 |
| shan3 | when using slim as the display manager in ubuntu, how o you reboot/halt since there is no root password to enter? | 03:24 |
| Digital8 | Cosworth1: on that one comment | 03:24 |
| === bobby is now known as odium1 | ||
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: pastebin url? | 03:24 |
| mgolisch | pingyofdoom: how is that supposed to work? | 03:24 |
| Cosworth1 | yes i did Digital8 sorry | 03:25 |
| Morchuboo | VideoSmith: you can then do "ls" and see what the folder is called before going into it with "cd <name of folder>" then try the "./configure" command | 03:25 |
| VideoSmith | http://pastebin.com/m5a0f116e | 03:25 |
| mgolisch | pingyofdoom: there can only be one window manager at a time | 03:25 |
| Cpudan80 | shan3: You enter your password | 03:25 |
| Cpudan80 | shan3: sudo halt ..... | 03:25 |
| === ZakK-- is now known as thebleh | ||
| pingyofdoom | Well how does Emerald work then? | 03:25 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: cd desktop | 03:25 |
| shan3 | Cdudan80: I tried that... itdoesnt work... | 03:25 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: and then do dir again | 03:25 |
| Cosworth1 | ls* | 03:25 |
| Cosworth1 | ;) | 03:25 |
| Cpudan80 | shan3: what does it say? | 03:25 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: Desktop, sorry | 03:25 |
| Cpudan80 | shan3 That is the shutdown command | 03:25 |
| Digital8 | Cosworth1: haha, yes | 03:25 |
| Cosworth1 | hehe | 03:25 |

| Cpudan80 | vocx: I had a hell of a time installing it too - the damn new formats and direct HAL configs are a PITA | 03:35 |

| X-722 | Ive been asking myself that for 10 years, for reasons far greater than Ubuntu. :P | 03:38 |

| adreignss | my fault | 03:45 |
| bullgard4 | I downloaded a file /home/<username>/.fr-JtIGrJ/gnome-vm-20060818 from WWW. What does 'gnome-vm' stand for? | 03:45 |
| puff | I have inherited a dell bluetooth keyboard, one of these: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/P109356/en/setup.htm | 03:45 |
| n00b-helper | adreignss: what's the question? | 03:45 |
| slyf_ | Good evening all | 03:45 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: I don't have the wrong driver. I have the S3 Unichrome Pro integrated graphics card, which used the "via" driver, but since 8.04 it uses "openchrome". | 03:45 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: just a moment | 03:45 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: If it means anything, although I'm using Konsole, it's GNOME desktop. | 03:45 |
| adreignss | can any1 tell me how too get my crystal sound card to work with pulseaudio snd-cs4236 | 03:45 |
| puff | I do not have the mouse and bluetooth dongle that came with it. My laptop has bluetooth built in. I'd like to get this working. | 03:45 |
| n00b-helper | adreignss: did you check if it was supported? | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: hmmm | 03:46 |
| techsupport | anyone here familiar with hlstatsx ? | 03:46 |
| adreignss | noo i know in 8.04 it worked when i added it to ect/modules | 03:46 |
| crdlb | vocx: unfortunately, I'd say you've kind of been left in the dust; the actively maintained open source drivers are getting better modesetting and xrandr stuff, so ubuntu has moved away from manual configuration | 03:46 |
| j-a-k-e | mgolisch: im not too sure what im doing really.. The windows drive is sdb (the 160gig ide master) ubuntu is on sdc the 30 gig ide and the sda 320 gig a sata drive | 03:46 |
| adreignss | im using 8.10 now | 03:47 |
| n00b-helper | adreignss ... and what steps did you take to get it working? | 03:47 |
| vocx | crdlb: but, are you sure I can't override this from xorg.conf? I just need a few Modelines or such, right? | 03:47 |
| adreignss | pulseaudio is playing when i look at the volume meter but no sound out of speakers | 03:48 |
| n00b-helper | puff: what have you done so far? | 03:48 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: sorry, just a moment still -- several things going on at once here | 03:48 |
| halycon | does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to erase some of the software sources from Ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: No probs ;) | 03:48 |
| crdlb | vocx: I would guess so, but I don't know anything about modelines | 03:48 |
| adreignss | i had to add sound card to ect/modules but not in 8.10 | 03:48 |
| Cpudan80 | crdlb: But xorg.conf doesnt do anything ... | 03:48 |
| Morchuboo | !modeline | 03:48 |
| ubottu | A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl | 03:48 |
| n00b-helper | adreignss: see my private message | 03:48 |
| puff | n00b-helper: Well, I was trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html | 03:48 |
| shan3 | butt3rz: it doesnt work... with the no password option in sudoers... | 03:48 |
| n00b-helper | puff: how far did you get? | 03:49 |
| puff | n00b-helper: The keyboard lights up and the bluetooth symbol glows bright blue on it, so I assume that the batteries are god. | 03:49 |
| crdlb | Cpudan80: eh? | 03:49 |
| n00b-helper | makes sense | 03:49 |
| Cpudan80 | crdlb: isnt the xorg.conf file totally deprecated ? | 03:49 |
| butt3rz | shan3: what window manager are you using? | 03:49 |
| vocx | Cpudan80, crdlb : In other PC, I had an nVidia card. I used the restricted manager to install the proprietary drivers, and it all went smooth, except the resolution was incorrect. So I used "displayconfig-gtk", selected the correct monitor, and it all worked perfectly. This was in 8.04, though. I'm telling you, this displyaconfig is the greatest thing, how come it lasted only one round? | 03:50 |
| shan3 | xfce | 03:50 |
| puff | The keyboard docs at dell say hold down the button on the back to make the keyboard detectable. The tutorial says run hcitool scan. No results (well, hcitool sees my neighbor's mac, two floors away, but). | 03:50 |
| shan3 | butterz ^ | 03:50 |
| helo | it seems that the launchpad netbook remix install instructions are incomplete... it doesn't mention anything about adding netbook-launcher to the gnome session, or what to disable so it will run properly... are there some other instructions for NBR in intrepid? | 03:50 |
| shan3 | butt3rz: xfce | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: you could do something unorthodox .... | 03:50 |
| puff | The keyboard has the MAC - actually I presume it's the "bluetooth device ID" - on the back. | 03:50 |
| crdlb | Cpudan80: no, how do you think choose nvidia and fglrx? | 03:50 |
| butt3rz | and you have the option 'sudo shutdown -h now' in your slim.conf? | 03:50 |
| n00b-helper | puff, can you see my private message? | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: put the HH repos in and grab that deb | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | crdlb: hmmm I was under the impression that it was all HAL files now | 03:51 |
| j-a-k-e | mgolisch: so I'm guessing I need to set the boot device to hd1,0 then? | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | crdlb: at any rate - it doesnt work exactly the same as before, some of the mode options dont work anymore | 03:51 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: just to test out while you're waiting on me, try this | 03:51 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: i want to see if we can resolve a couple of those first | 03:52 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg inigo | 03:52 |
| mgolisch | j-a-k-e: yeah try that | 03:52 |
| crdlb | Cpudan80: yes, the xorg.conf is being slowly killed, but afaik it should still work for this | 03:52 |
| j-a-k-e | mgolisch: alright, I'll let you know how it goes. Either way, be back soon. | 03:52 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m15a507af | 03:53 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: I tell you, xorg.conf still does stuff. I don't know what you had to mess with, but HAL? That sounds creepy. | 03:53 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: not hal directly | 03:53 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: some stupid little files it reads | 03:53 |
| mgolisch | vocx: sure it does | 03:53 |
| Cpudan80 | why on earth they deprecated xorg.conf ... | 03:53 |
| mgolisch | they did not realy | 03:54 |
| mgolisch | you can still set stuff there | 03:54 |
| crdlb | the driver should be able to modeset properly without user intervention | 03:54 |
| vocx | Cpudan80: I like the way it is now. It's simple. You can override stuff and don't bother about what you don't know. | 03:54 |
| crdlb | that the via driver cannot is a bug which needs to be fixed | 03:54 |
| Cpudan80 | mgolisch: seems like they broke it apart before the ducks were lined up | 03:54 |
| mgolisch | works flawless here | 03:55 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: what all do you have checked under software sources? on the first tab there | 03:55 |
| mgolisch | had xorg working with my 260 gtx with just one click in jockey-gtk | 03:55 |
| mgolisch | to install and setup the nvidia driver | 03:55 |
| vocx | crdlb: just for clarification, it's the "openchrome" driver now. | 03:55 |
| crdlb | vocx: ok, but I meant the driver for via hardware :) | 03:55 |
| puff | Anyway, according to the tutorial the next step would be to add a device definition for the keyboard to /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf | 03:56 |
| mgolisch | worked instantly with 1920x1200 | 03:56 |
| mgolisch | :) | 03:56 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: I can't copy paste it, but there are two things there. I'll type them out. | 03:56 |
| puff | But in my installation /etc/bluetooth doesn't have an hcid.conf. | 03:56 |

| mgolisch | shan3: lookup which command it actualy calls for shuting down the server | 04:01 |
| KingOfDos | darkdelusions: you can turn of the output of the speakers on your laptop, and leave the headphone on | 04:01 |
| mgolisch | shan3: it should be shutdown usualy | 04:01 |
| darkdelusions | KingOfDos: I tried it.. it kills sound on both it seems | 04:01 |
| cyorxamp_ | Lo, does anyone in here have the Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that comes with ubuntu already on it? | 04:01 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: hmm I wonder what I have | 04:02 |
| KingOfDos | darkdelusions: try to add other sources in the mixer | 04:02 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: maybe you could try pulling that displayconfig-gtk thing from HH repos | 04:02 |
| KingOfDos | on my laptop i've got a headphone and one for my speakers | 04:02 |
| shan3 | mgolisch: '/sbin/shutdown -h now' thats what it was... i changed it to 'sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now' just now in /etc/slim.conf | 04:02 |
| KingOfDos | and a master channel | 04:02 |
| Cpudan80 | vocx: yeah I dont have anything in there other than what I put in | 04:03 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: everything looks good there. show me what "cat /proc/version" says | 04:03 |

| mgolisch | shan3: what user does that slim thing run as? | 04:03 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m274574d8 | 04:03 |
| mgolisch | if its root you dont need the sudo | 04:03 |

| qqx | can anyone here help me setup my bluetooth headset so ALL audio streams to it and the microphone works? or at least one or the other? | 04:04 |
| shan3 | mgolisch: slim is the display manager... running as root | 04:05 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: thanks :) | 04:05 |
| shan3 | mgolisch: so slim requires the root password to run the halt command | 04:06 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: what verison of ubuntu is that supposed to be? it's actually a tad bit newer of a kernel than mine even | 04:06 |
| VideoSmith | hmm | 04:06 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: nevermind, this laptop hasn't been fully updated -- that's probably why | 04:06 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: it's 8.10, right? | 04:06 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008. | 04:06 |

| Uplink | how can i make my vuze the default torrent handler? | 04:06 |
| mgolisch | shan3: if it runs as root it doenst need to use sudo | 04:06 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: go back into software sources | 04:08 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: and change the entry we added | 04:09 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: Remove it? | 04:09 |

| Digital8 | VideoSmith: actually, wait a second..they don't have any hardy files on this site | 04:09 |
| brettley | is there any way to speed up the load time on ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| shan3 | mgolisch: yes thats what i was trying to say... but it does require you to give the root password... I just set the root password (enabled root) ad now it works... | 04:09 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: let me check with the site for that software again | 04:09 |
| VideoSmith | hmmm | 04:09 |
| kgodwin | Does anyone else find when running IE w/ Wine it takes over the entire CPU core and only dies if you kill it? | 04:09 |

| shan3 | mgolisch: but it doesn;t solve the problem for me because i am trying to make a redistributable system... | 04:10 |
| Digital8 | videosmith: go ahead and remove the one we addded for now | 04:10 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: and we'll see if that fixes those other errors | 04:10 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: Removed. | 04:10 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | 04:10 |

| GregTheGerg | Weird question, does anyone know how to run a clustered ubuntu? What I want to do is combine two motherboards with AMD Phenom processors to make a video-grinding beast... Anyone got ideas? | 04:12 |
| bluedragon | I just finished install cairo-dock but where is it | 04:12 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: This look good? http://pastebin.com/m3d6538c0 | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluedragon, drop to term and type cairo-dock and after testing make a launcher for it | 04:13 |
| Hodapp | GregTheGerg: What video apps do you use that are cluster-aware? | 04:13 |
| batcoder-7 | anyone here ever use Xfce ? | 04:13 |
| GregTheGerg | Well, I don't know if it's cluster aware, but do you know if Handbrake is? | 04:13 |
| batcoder-7 | is xfce not so light anymore or what ? | 04:13 |
| shan3 | batcoder-7: i have | 04:13 |
| batcoder-7 | a few people said it has got more hefty in the past few months ? | 04:13 |
| Hodapp | hmmm. Handbrake... might be. | 04:13 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime kdelibs5 libmlt++1 libmlt1 libqt4-dbus libqt4-svg libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtgui4 inigo | 04:14 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: those were the other ones it called for | 04:14 |
| shan3 | batcoder-7: yeah also xubuntu uses quite a few gnome apps... i myself have switched to fluxbox | 04:14 |
| GregTheGerg | I would imagine it could, considering is has a max of 8 cores it can handle. ^_^ | 04:14 |

| SJrX | I keep having very buggy desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.10, title bars that become title, the squishy effect on windows never stopping, etc... | 04:14 |
| VideoSmith | And so I just copy-paste that whole bit in? | 04:14 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: that first one (ffmpeg) went smooth | 04:14 |
| beetlejuice_mast | GEDIT not allowing ppl to open files thru SFTP? | 04:14 |
| SJrX | How can I change the number of clicks required to activate an item in the task bar? | 04:14 |
| eseven73 | batcoder-7: its' put on a bit of weight from what ive heard too. Could just be a rumor though, its still lighter than KDE and gnome | 04:14 |
| beetlejuice_mast | any php programmers in here? | 04:14 |
| SJrX | I am, beetlejuice_mast | 04:14 |
| beetlejuice_mast | what editor u use? | 04:15 |
| shan3 | eseven73: yes definitely lighter | 04:15 |
| SJrX | I use an editor called Kate, that comes with KDE, it has the best syntax highlighting I've ever seen. | 04:15 |
| beetlejuice_mast | i need to be able to edit remotely thru SFTP and gedit only allows me to open read only | 04:15 |
| beetlejuice_mast | does it have SFTP support? | 04:15 |
| batcoder-7 | shan3, i still want a DE ;) fluxbox was good in 95 though :P | 04:15 |
| SJrX | Dunno, my guess would be yes, since KDE supports almost anything. | 04:15 |
| SJrX | You may want to consider, if you have SSH access, SSHFS however. | 04:16 |
| beetlejuice_mast | sshfs? | 04:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: how's the next round coming along? | 04:16 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m2a4e1d1d | 04:16 |
| shan3 | batcoder-7 there are a few good fluxbox distros out there... | 04:16 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: Seems smooth :) | 04:16 |
| batcoder-7 | shan3, like ? | 04:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: paste in sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime kdelibs5 libmlt1 libqt4-dbus libqt4-svg libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtgui4 inigo | 04:16 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: ill see what the deal is with libmlt++1 | 04:17 |
| batcoder-7 | fluxubuntu is not one of them ;) | 04:17 |
| shan3 | batcoder-7: i use linux mint fluxbox | 04:17 |
| SJrX | sshfs allows you to access your files that are on another machine that you have ssh access too, it's really cool. Provided that your user is in the fuse group, then you can simply type "mkdir ~/remote_folder" then "sshfs user@host:/ ~/remote_folder" and you can access it exactly like it was your own | 04:17 |
| batcoder-7 | shan3, yea now that might be good is it debian based? | 04:17 |
| shan3 | batcoder-7: its not the lightest fluxbox distro but it has everything | 04:17 |
| VideoSmith | Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m4353f3d0 | 04:17 |
| beetlejuice_mast | nice | 04:17 |
| shan3 | batcoder-7: its based on ubuntu | 04:18 |
| batcoder-7 | i seee | 04:18 |
| beetlejuice_mast | idk about my user being in the fuse group | 04:18 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: take the failed one out again | 04:18 |
| batcoder-7 | lightest is not what i care about just light ;) | 04:18 |
| SJrX | But I'd still switch to kate, as I love it's syntax highlighting, it knows almost everything and has a butt that just won't quiet. | 04:18 |
| SJrX | quit | 04:18 |
| batcoder-7 | ubuntu has a big following which keeps packages up to date | 04:18 |
| beetlejuice_mast | i'm using GNOME is that going to be a problem? | 04:18 |
| Digital8 | VideoSmith: libmlt1 that is | 04:18 |
| SJrX | Nope | 04:18 |
| SJrX | I have to suffer with GNOME for the moment now too. | 04:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | batcoder-7, But also note we dont support mint users | 04:18 |
| batcoder-7 | shan3, xubuntu i am sure is still much lighter then regualr ubuntu | 04:18 |
| beetlejuice_mast | cool, well thanks for the help i'm going to go give it a try | 04:18 |

| Uplink | ziroday: then asks me to chose and application to open it with | 04:25 |

| Elijah1 | What is Ubuntu's current filesystem? I just read the new linux Kernel is going to be using EXT3 | 04:30 |
| ziroday | j\mmy: its very easy, burn a live cd. Boot it up on your main computer, select "Make a bootable USB disk", then use the USB disk on the netbook | 04:30 |

| j\mmy | onto this laptop | 04:30 |
| Elijah1 | ziroday: What does Mac OS X use? | 04:30 |
| j\mmy | just to get rid of the f'ing boxstores install of winxp | 04:30 |
| brettley | i just need an estimation | 04:30 |
| j\mmy | =) | 04:30 |
| ziroday | Elijah1: not sure, I believe HFS+ but could be wrong | 04:31 |
| brettley | weeks, months, years | 04:31 |
| ziroday | brettley: it would be measured in years, but beyond that we cannot help you. | 04:31 |
| Elijah1 | ziroday: Ok, yeah thats it. Which one is better HFS+ or EXT3? | 04:31 |
| brettley | i just need about a year of constant use | 04:31 |
| ziroday | Elijah1: its hard to say, but you should be aware the linux cannot use HFS as a default file system. If using linux stick with ext3 | 04:32 |
| bluedragon | having problems with cairo dock | 04:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluedragon, what problem | 04:32 |
| bluedragon | finished installing it but there is a terminal window open whenever it is open | 04:32 |
| bluedragon | if i close termiinal window it closes | 04:32 |
| Elijah1 | ziroday: Thanks, Ok I was wrong, The new linux Kernel is going to be using EXT4 not EXT3 http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16854/ | 04:33 |
| snowveil | you opening it from the terminal window? | 04:33 |
| ziroday | Elijah1: it still has not been decided whether there will be ext4 support in the next version of ubuntu | 04:33 |
| bluedragon | yeah no other way to open it | 04:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluedragon, Have you restarted since you added it to your sessions programs | 04:33 |
| Hodapp | is it normal for every single application that accesses my sound card to stall? except maybe mplayer... | 04:33 |
| snowveil | add an & at the end of the command | 04:33 |
| J-a-k-e | mgolisch: ok I got it sorted, the boot device was hd0,0 and I had to comment out the two lines that map the hd0 to hd1 and vice versa | 04:33 |
| snowveil | that should solve the issue bluedragon | 04:34 |
| snowveil | IE, instead of "opera" it would be "opera &" | 04:34 |

| timeracerr | hi everybody. I've got this peculiar problem on Ubuntu. Today i've created a partition on another harddrive using gparted and i placed all my user files in there. Music etc, also pics for wallpaper. I've set a wallpaper to something in the menu/appearance. When i reboot the system, the background image doesn't set | 04:36 |
| timeracerr | anyone knows what could be the problem? | 04:37 |
| nsadmin | you're better off in a shell... but that's not forgiving either | 04:37 |
| ziroday | timeracerr: that is because the drive is not mounted on boot | 04:37 |
| kelbizzle | mib_eywuxr: check the restricted hardware if you have an ati or nvidia video card. | 04:37 |
| Marfi | timeracerr, check /etc/fstab and see where its mounting the drive | 04:37 |

| dr_willis | file name character? | 04:46 |
| nsadmin | KittenKoder: not sure what you mean | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | You mean wildcard/regular expressions? like cat *.txt | 04:46 |
| KittenKoder | In Windoze is was %1 ... etc. | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | research bash regular expressions. :) | 04:46 |
| KittenKoder | Like "python file.py" where "file.py" is replaced with what you click on through the GUI. | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | or bash scripting. It depends on how its being used. $1 i think in most shell scripts is the name of the first argument. $0 is the name of the command.. | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | python may have its own variables for that. | 04:47 |

| Oinkness | vmware vm? | 05:03 |
| Elijah1 | Will Ubuntu 8.10 support a USB 727 Modem from Sprint out of the box? I can't connect this computer to "get" anything. I need it to just work. How would I do this? | 05:03 |
| mrwes | Oinkness: Dreamweaver works in a windows XP virtualbox | 05:03 |
| mgolisch | Oinkness: yeah a virtual machine | 05:03 |
| Oinkness | sounds complicated :O | 05:04 |
| mrwes | sounds lazy | 05:04 |
| Oinkness | I have the CS3 Master Suite, if I could get that to work on here, that would be fantastic | 05:04 |
| mgolisch | with virtualbox its not realy | 05:04 |
| eseven73 | VirtualBox is easy to use | 05:04 |
| davidma | what is maximus? | 05:04 |
| mgolisch | it has that cool seamless mode, so you display the startmenu+taskbar of the windows vm on your linux desktop and just start apps from it | 05:05 |
| mgolisch | the windows will just be beamed onto your desktop | 05:05 |
| eseven73 | mgolisch: i love that feature | 05:05 |
| tanis143 | Hiyas all, got a couple of questions if anyone doesn't mind | 05:05 |
| macvr | hi all... i just noticed that when i right click an empty space and choose "create document" i now have an option> 'logFile' ... i didnt have this in ubuntu 8.04 is this a new 8.10 feature or why has this crept into the options? | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | davidma, a tool used in the ubunt-netbook remix to maxamize all windows | 05:05 |
| GodfatherofEire | How would I edit the xorg.conf file to globally remap a specific button press in all of ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| snowveil | k quick question, I just formatted my hard drive, and it appears to have formatted fine, it's added to my fstab, but I don't have permissions to add/unmount it...how would I change this? chmod? | 05:06 |
| Oinkness | So CS3 would work in Virtual Box on Ubuntu? It's not going to ruin my vision like the Virtual Boy is it? | 05:06 |
| davidma | dr_willis do you know if the 'ubuntu add / remove programs' is synaptic or something els? | 05:06 |
| linuxdude | is their a way to find out whos stealing my bandwidth ,i have a wep password | 05:06 |
| davidma | i want to file thecorrect bug report. | 05:07 |
| macvr | snowveil: change the permissions in the AUTHORIZATIONS> HAL | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | snowveil, what filesystem? most of that is controlled in the fstab | 05:07 |
| Flannel | !bugs | davidma | 05:07 |
| ubottu | davidma: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 05:07 |
| snowveil | filesystem is ext3 | 05:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | linuxdude, I'd suggest checking at the router | 05:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | See who's using it | 05:07 |
| linuxdude | how | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | davidma, just a similer front end to the normal packageing system.. I never use it. I perfer synaptic or th command line | 05:07 |
| davidma | flannel ok | 05:07 |
| mgolisch | davidma: its something else | 05:07 |
| Flannel | dr_willis: Oh, sorry. add/remove isn't synaptic. | 05:07 |
| eseven73 | Oinkness: of course it would assuming you had a windows VM | 05:07 |
| Flannel | davidma: ^^ | 05:07 |
| macvr | snowveil: just change the permissions in the AUTHORIZATIONS> HAL > storage | 05:07 |
| davidma | flannel just wondering what to put in the bug report | 05:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | linuxdude Do you know your routers local IP? | 05:08 |
| mgolisch | i think its called gnome-appinstall or something | 05:08 |
| GodfatherofEire | like, 192.168.xxx.xxx | 05:08 |
| linuxdude | yes | 05:08 |
| Flannel | davidma: But, if you just describe it thoroughly, even if you don't have the exact name correctly, they'll be able to sort it out. | 05:08 |
| mrwes | linuxdude: most routers are at http://192.168.1.1 | 05:08 |
| davidma | ok | 05:08 |
| GodfatherofEire | Then check there in the DHCP client list | 05:08 |
| * fivetwentysix never really saw the point of add/remoe | 05:08 | |
| iamelite | Does anyone know a program to convert .toast to .iso | 05:08 |
| mgolisch | davidma: gnome-app-install << thats the name | 05:08 |
| * Oinkness farts | 05:08 | |
| dr_willis | iamelite, cant say ive ever seen/heard of the .tost extension befor | 05:08 |
| linuxdude | can i find out where that person whos stealing lives | 05:09 |
| tanis143 | Ok, does anyone know of a good video capture program? I've got a vstream xpert 2000 video capture card that I would like to use | 05:09 |
| fivetwentysix | mrwes, or 192.168.2.1 | 05:09 |
| mrwes | b00m! | 05:09 |
| Flannel | mrwes: Neither is that. | 05:09 |
| mrwes | true | 05:09 |
| iamelite | .toast is Mac standard CD image. | 05:09 |
| macvr | hi all... i just noticed that when i right click an empty space and choose "create document" i now have an option> 'logFile' ... i didnt have this in ubuntu 8.04 is this a new 8.10 feature or why has this crept into the options? | 05:09 |
| snowveil | which authentication option should I choose from the dropdown lists? | 05:09 |
| iamelite | I have to burn it out of mac, in pc on lin or win | 05:09 |
| Oinkness | That was unnecessary >.> | 05:09 |
| suuurfer | is SE Linux any more secure than Ubuntu? | 05:09 |
| Flannel | Oinkness: Please stay on topic. | 05:09 |
| fivetwentysix | Actually every company uses a different default router ip | 05:09 |
| GodfatherofEire | linuxdude, no, but you can block access to them | 05:09 |
| Oinkness | I'm still waiting for clarification on the CS3 / Virtualbox thing | 05:09 |
| eseven73 | I answered you Oinkness | 05:09 |
| eseven73 | Oinkness: of course it would assuming you had a windows VM | 05:10 |
| GodfatherofEire | !info selinux | 05:10 |
| ubottu | selinux (source: selinux): Security-Enhanced Linux runtime support. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.3 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 124 kB | 05:10 |
| Oinkness | What is a windows VM? | 05:10 |
| Oinkness | I dont have windows installed or anything | 05:10 |
| linuxdude | so i cant find them and confront the moron whos stealing ? | 05:10 |
| macvr | snowveil: add ur self to the internal drives section | 05:10 |
| tanis143 | VM stands for virtual machine | 05:10 |
| GodfatherofEire | linuxdude, nope | 05:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 05:10 |
| eseven73 | Oinkness: its kinda like a emulator, but you'll need the windows cd or .iso file for it to work | 05:10 |
| linuxdude | is their a radar that i can use to find the culprit | 05:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | i have a tar.gz file with may .deb files .... how can i install all of them together ? | 05:11 |
| === rob is now known as Guest48368 | ||
| dr_willis | silv3r_m00n, sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 05:11 |
| snowveil | macvr, I'm already in the list | 05:11 |
| eseven73 | !VirtualBox > Oinkness | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Oinkness, please see my private message | 05:11 |
| nsadmin | silv3r_m00n: unpack the tarball in an empty dir, cd there, dpkg -i * | 05:11 |
| snowveil | my other drive is accessible, however this new drive is not | 05:12 |
| macvr | snowveil: then u should be able to mount/unmount if u have hte permissions set correctly.... if not what is the error u get when u try to mount? | 05:12 |
| snowveil | can not read/write mount or unmount except as root | 05:12 |
| nsadmin | the issue of where they came from and whether they will work on your box is left as an exercise :) | 05:12 |
| linuxdude | is their a radar that i can use to find the culprit,any software available | 05:12 |
| Flannel | linuxdude: No | 05:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | dr_willis: nsadmin: thanks | 05:12 |
| mgolisch | snowveil: its normal, only root can mount/umount filesystems | 05:12 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | linuxdude, not really, it would require an undue amount of work, better to just switch to WPA2 encryption, with a secure passphrase | 05:13 |
| * tanis143 looks sullen, had high hopes of seeing how fast he could turn vhs to dvd with his system | 05:13 | |
| GodfatherofEire1 | linuxdude, and if possible, change and hide the SSID | 05:13 |
| mgolisch | snowveil: for the permissions you might want to set compatible permissions on the filesystem | 05:13 |
| nsadmin | linuxdude: how many more times will you ask the same question? | 05:13 |
| macvr | snowveil: select grant and select the user and select no constraint, that should do it... | 05:13 |
| snowveil | macvr: mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/seagate | 05:13 |
| TheFunkbomb | Hey, is anyone able to play Yahoo's literati (java game) with Ubuntu? | 05:13 |
| mrwes | snowveil: paste the fstab setting for that drive | 05:13 |
| linuxdude | ok i guess ill just have to share my internet with a freeloader | 05:13 |
| snowveil | /dev/sda1 /media/seagate ext3 defaults 1 2 | 05:14 |
| macvr | snowveil: what's ur fstab? | 05:14 |
| tanis143 | dude, just lock it down | 05:14 |
| tanis143 | Switch to WPA2 and you'll be good | 05:14 |
| nsadmin | linuxdude: you could put up a name for the net like Ilogurpackets | 05:14 |
| tanis143 | Or just look up their mac address in your router and block that mac address | 05:14 |
| TheFunkbomb | linuxdude, why not slap some security on your AP? | 05:14 |
| somethingtodo | linuxdude: you can try hacking his box when he connects, or making a proxy that returns every web request as something silly ;_P | 05:15 |
| linuxdude | ill just buy a new router the supports wpa | 05:15 |
| === FD`AMD|tekster is now known as tekster | ||
| tekster | anyone here able to assist me quickly with getting my x-fi xtreme gamer sound drivers working? :< | 05:15 |
| tanis143 | omg how old is your router? | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | somethingtodo, :) been there.. did that... | 05:15 |
| macvr | snowveil: is sda ur home or root? if not just comment it out of the fstab | 05:15 |
| TheFunkbomb | or, you could set up a honey pot that just loops him through the grotesque underbelly of the internet | 05:15 |
| snowveil | sda is my new drive | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | remvoe your antannas or cover them with foil so he cant get signal :) | 05:15 |
| snowveil | sdb partitions are home and root | 05:16 |
| Oinkness | Is there a Flash program for Ubuntu? For making and exporting Flash animations / ActionScript games? | 05:16 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | linuxdude, seriously though, how old is that router | 05:16 |
| TheFunkbomb | change your SSID to "IStabFaces" | 05:16 |
| tekster | anyone have an x-fi xtreme gamer sound card? | 05:16 |
| mgolisch | Oinkness: not that i know off | 05:16 |
| macvr | snowveil: just add "#" to the fstab line for sda no need to add the line to the fstab | 05:16 |
| mijaelstand | hello guys, somebody could to tell me how i can to listen a internet radio with firefox?? i have the totem plugin for wmp but it doesnt works... =( | 05:16 |
| linuxdude | fuck it ill just share it why be a bitch about it as long as they dont steal all my bandwidth | 05:17 |
| bluedragon | still having problems with installing a new theme in cairo where is the cairo themes folder | 05:17 |
| * tanis143 rolls his eyes | 05:17 | |
| Oinkness | mijaelstand: Do you have Rhythmbox Music Player? o.o | 05:17 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | tanis143, seconded | 05:17 |
| mijaelstand | yeah | 05:17 |
| tekster | anyone have an x-fi xtreme gamer sound card? | 05:17 |
| somethingtodo | linuxdude: might as well have fun with it though. Make a proxy and watch everything he does online... | 05:17 |
| nsadmin | TheFunkbomb: or to "byusingthisnetyouagreeIcandoanythingwithyourpackets" | 05:17 |
| mrwes | mijaelstand: you could goto www.shoutcast.com | 05:17 |
| Oinkness | mijaelstand: That has radio / Last.fm and stuff, and you can set an option to make it close to the tray bar. | 05:17 |
| mijaelstand | yeah man.. | 05:17 |
| TheFunkbomb | lol nsadmin | 05:17 |
| mijaelstand | wait | 05:18 |
| tanis143 | somethingtodo, if he doesn't know how to lock down his wireless, think he could do that? | 05:18 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | tekster, if I remember correctly they dont really support Linux | 05:18 |
| mijaelstand | im going to there | 05:18 |
| davidma | the add/remove app is 'gnome-app-install' and appears to be a python app. | 05:18 |
| syntax\ | ERROR: Issue calling the dbus service:org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.UnmappedError.RbShellPlayerError.Code4: Playback position not available <-- i get this with conky.. how can i fix this? | 05:18 |
| tanis143 | LOL | 05:18 |
| davidma | quite impressive that it 0runs fast as it does. | 05:18 |
| tekster | i downloaded a driver that they have on their site, but having trouble installing | 05:18 |
| somethingtodo | Hey, just saying what I would do. | 05:18 |
| tekster | not sure if it worked or not | 05:18 |
| TheFunkbomb | poor dude can't even lock down his router. I bet has a b protocol | 05:18 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | tekster, sorry, dont know then, last I heard they were still unsupported | 05:19 |
| nsadmin | is that like a b movie? | 05:19 |
| tanis143 | I'm sorry, I know I'm new to linux, but when people give me the answer I dont act like an ass about it | 05:19 |
| tekster | hm ok | 05:19 |
| snowveil | macvr, I am able to mount, but still unable to write to it | 05:19 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | tekster, but that was a while ago, so idk | 05:19 |
| tanis143 | Heh, I feel lucky that I got my resolution to finally stick at 1280x1024 | 05:20 |
| mgolisch | snowveil: you need to set apropriate permissions on the filesystem, so your user can write to it | 05:20 |
| tekster | yeah, im new to this whole ubuntu stuff. but i downloaded the driver, did the 'make' and 'make install' as it says, now when i reboot it should work right? | 05:20 |
| macvr | snowveil: in fstab u only need to mention the root , home , swap partitons ...... thats wierd , i'm not sure why u r not able to write , try restarting X or reebooting and check if the problem still exists | 05:20 |
| mgolisch | tekster: yeah | 05:20 |
| nsadmin | tekster do you have to reboot? | 05:21 |
| bluedragon | where are programs files stored looking for the cairo dock themes folder any suggestions | 05:21 |
| tekster | im about to reboot now actually | 05:21 |
| mgolisch | probabaly not but thats much easier | 05:21 |
| snowveil | mgolisch, how would I go about doing that? | 05:21 |
| mrwes | snowveil: where is the mount point and/or directory? and who is the owner of that directory? | 05:21 |
| tekster | let me re boot and hope that ubuntu doesnt freak out and not boot again | 05:21 |
| mgolisch | snowveil: using chmod/chown | 05:21 |
| snowveil | mount point is /etc/seagate | 05:21 |
| mrwes | snowveil: you might need to do a chown on it | 05:21 |
| tanis143 | Ok, so does anyone have any suggestions on video capture software? | 05:21 |
| mrwes | /etc/seagate? weird spot | 05:22 |
| snowveil | I created it | 05:22 |
| mrwes | why there? | 05:22 |
| snowveil | why not? | 05:22 |
| snowveil | erm | 05:22 |
| tanis143 | lol | 05:22 |
| snowveil | I'm sorry :) /media/seagate | 05:22 |
| mrwes | ok ok | 05:22 |
| mrwes | snowveil: goto a terminal and do an ls -al /media/seagate | 05:22 |
| mgolisch | snowveil: are you the only using that drive? | 05:22 |
| mrwes | and see who the owner is | 05:23 |
| snowveil | you know, that may be it...I created /seagate as root | 05:23 |
| mgolisch | the owner is root | 05:23 |
| mgolisch | who else | 05:23 |
| mrwes | duh | 05:23 |
| mgolisch | if thats not been changed | 05:23 |
| mrwes | :) | 05:23 |
| * tanis143 flops on the couch that just happened to be in the channel | 05:23 | |
| snowveil | yup, root root | 05:23 |
| Asad2005 | Is it possible to reset or change user password by editing /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow | 05:23 |
| mgolisch | you probably want to run sudo chown username:username -R /media/seagate/ | 05:23 |
| mrwes | snowveil: chown yourusername:yourusername /media/seagate | 05:24 |
| mrwes | oh..yah -R | 05:24 |
| mrwes | heh | 05:24 |
| eseven73 | dont forget sudo mrwes | 05:24 |
| mrwes | nod | 05:24 |
| mgolisch | Asad2005: not realy | 05:24 |
| tekster | well, rebooted and still no sound :/ | 05:24 |
| tanis143 | I think I could get back into IRC, been so long since I've been an addict | 05:24 |
| mgolisch | Asad2005: unless you can gerate the hashes yourself, but thats a bad idea usualy | 05:24 |
| mgolisch | Asad2005: just use passwd | 05:25 |
| tanis143 | And now that I've given up gaming, I've got to find something to waste my time with | 05:25 |
| eseven73 | rebooting really is a windows concept, usually not needed in Linux | 05:25 |
| iggykoopa | tekster: once you build the driver you may need to run sudo modprobe [the module name] | 05:25 |
| tekster | i see | 05:25 |
| tekster | have to figure out how to do that | 05:25 |
| iggykoopa | i know the intel one is snd_hda_intel depends on the driver | 05:25 |
| jalonso | hey everyone, I have a little problem, I am trying to access my init.d file, but in terminal it only shows up when I do the 'locate' command | 05:26 |
| jalonso | nano doesnt open it up | 05:26 |
| tekster | where would i see the module name? | 05:26 |
| bluedragon | what up with adobe flash in fire fox it kind of sucks | 05:26 |
| davidma | flannel, pici: BUG FILED oops sorry | 05:26 |
| Asad2005 | mgolisch, Is this only because of shadowing ? I mean if a system is with out a shadow then deleting the password field in /etc/passwd will do ? | 05:26 |
| snowveil | ok, ran chown | 05:26 |
| bluedragon | any suggestions | 05:26 |
| mgolisch | jalonso: sure its there? | 05:26 |
| bluedragon | go to | 05:26 |
| iggykoopa | init.d is a folder not a file | 05:26 |
| tekster | would it be in the folder that was created after the tar zxvf etc | 05:26 |
| bluedragon | watchanimenow.com | 05:26 |
| tanis143 | jalonso, make sure you type in the directory properly, linux is case sensitive | 05:26 |
| davidma | this meso notebok has no capslock light. | 05:26 |
| iggykoopa | well what sound card is it? may have to google it | 05:27 |
| snowveil | drwxr-xr-x 2 mike mike 4096 2009-01-10 23:58 . | 05:27 |

| GodfatherofEire1 | Also, what should one do if there is NO sysrq key on the keyboard | 05:27 |
| snowveil | still unable to add files to the drive | 05:27 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Like, none whatsoever | 05:27 |
| mgolisch | snowveil: can you write to it now? | 05:27 |
| iggykoopa | k let me see if i can find it | 05:27 |
| tekster | it was the driver that they have for linux on their site | 05:27 |
| jalonso | mgolisch: tanis143: it shows up when I do the 'locate' command, but when I nano it, it shows up as a blank file | 05:27 |
| tanis143 | Godfather, its the prtscn key, just have to hit shift | 05:27 |
| davidma | is Wine usable? I last played with it in 1995. | 05:27 |
| jalonso | mgolisch: tanis143: is it blank by default? | 05:28 |
| tanis143 | david, I use it just fine | 05:28 |
| mgolisch | jalonso: locate uses an index file, it only holds files/folders of the time the index was created | 05:28 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | tanis143, nope | 05:28 |
| tanis143 | I dunno, jalonso, I'm a newbie myself | 05:28 |
| davidma | sweet | 05:28 |
| mgolisch | jalonso: that doesnt mean anything | 05:28 |
| tanis143 | Really? | 05:28 |
| mgolisch | jalonso: look if ls lists it, if not its not there | 05:28 |
| tanis143 | What keyboard do you have Godfather? | 05:28 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | tanis143, yeah | 05:28 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Logitech S520 | 05:28 |
| iggykoopa | jalonso: init.d is a folder not a file...thats why it shows up blank | 05:28 |
| davidma | wine is struggling mightily to fire up internet exploder | 05:28 |
| tekster | what is the file extension usually for a module? | 05:29 |
| jalonso | iggykoopa: Oh | 05:29 |
| eseven73 | you can manually update the 'locate' database 'sudo updatedb' | 05:29 |
| mgolisch | tekster: .ko | 05:29 |
| tekster | k ty | 05:29 |
| macvr | hi all... i just noticed that when i right click an empty space and choose "create document" i now have an option> 'logFile' ... i didnt have this in ubuntu 8.04 is this a new 8.10 feature or why has this crept into the options? | 05:29 |
| jalonso | iggykoopa: thats what I needed to know, now on to the E17 IRC channel | 05:29 |
| tekster | well, no .ko files in this | 05:29 |
| tanis143 | david, why on earth would you want to use IE? | 05:29 |
| nickrud | macvr, do you have a file in ~/Templates named logFile ? | 05:30 |
| Pici | !ies4linux | davidma | 05:30 |
| ubottu | davidma: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! | 05:30 |
| tanis143 | Even on my windows machines I use firefox | 05:30 |
| nsadmin | maybe he has to test | 05:30 |
| dr_willis | <macvr> sounds like an improper file in ~/Templates , which you can easially change/remove | 05:30 |
| macvr | nickrud: oh... s ...! | 05:30 |
| macvr | dr_willis: nickrud thanx guys this was driving me crazy! i recently added the file there! and FORGOT! | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | macvr, :) | 05:31 |
| tekster | bah im so lost with this | 05:31 |
| nickrud | macvr, welcome to _my_ world ;) | 05:31 |
| egaudet | hey everyone, got a question. I got the windows 7 beta ISO. I have no removable media to burn it to (dvd/usb). I want to copy the dvd contents to an ntfs partition, add it to grub, boot and install from there. | 05:32 |

| lulwut | hey all, anyone who have any experience mounting a second drive? I dont seem to have permissions over it, it is /media/home and it shows up nicely in my places but i cannot add folders or content to it | 05:44 |
| bluedragon | but there is not .cairo folder | 05:44 |

| macvr | bluedragon: have u installed the cairo -dock? | 05:44 |
| snowveil | haha lulwut that's what I just spent a bunch of time doing | 05:45 |
| bluedragon | yes macvr | 05:45 |
| nickrud | bluedragon, then you most likely don't have cairo-dock installed. It's an alternate to the normal gnome panel | 05:45 |
| bluedragon | it's installed | 05:45 |
| lulwut | snowveil: did you figure it out and can you help me? | 05:45 |

| lulwut | IT is ext3 | 05:45 |
| snowveil | without the quotes | 05:45 |
| snowveil | display the output | 05:46 |
| macvr | bluedragon: /home/bluedragon/.cairo-doc should exist , else as ^nickrud said | 05:46 |
| snowveil | also, do the same for another drive you have mounted under media | 05:46 |

| tanis143 | You have your permissions set wrong lulwut | 05:47 |
| snowveil | ok do these two things | 05:47 |
| mgolisch | do both: sudo chown username:username -R /media/home/ and sudo chmod u+rwx -R /media/home/ | 05:47 |

| Tanis143 | I tried using wine to install ms money | 05:48 |
| davidma | i should probably find a worthwhile windows app | 05:48 |
| davidma | like firefox in wine | 05:48 |
| mgolisch | youll need a livecd to restore grub afterwards | 05:48 |
| user1_ | Neondog1: use a virtual machine or ask in #microsoft | 05:49 |
| Neondog82 | so just reinstall grub with a live CD | 05:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yep | 05:49 |
| lulwut | so it would be sudo chown -R adam:adam /media/home ? | 05:49 |
| gogereaver1 | Neondog82 yep | 05:49 |
| Mba7eth | are there any microsoft specific channels around ? | 05:49 |

| davidma | need to test different browsers on different OSs. | 06:15 |
| davidma | so does spyware work with wine? haha-11 | 06:15 |
| user1_ | mgolisch: what do you mean by plugged in back in? physically or did you reboot? | 06:15 |
| iandouglas | hey all, quick question -- asked in #hardware but didn't get very far. If I needed to rebuild my box for a dual boot machine that's booted into ubuntu 90% of the time for programming and multimedia work, and winxp for 10% of the time for some gaming, should i be looking at intel cpus, or amd? and which sort of video hardware should i look for that will give decent cross-platform support? | 06:15 |
| nickrud | davidma, get virtualbox and run xp/vista in there. You can run them in their native environment, no subtle bugs due to wine | 06:15 |
| mgolisch | user1_: i just pluged the thumbdrive back in after running that command | 06:15 |
| davidma | nickrud is this commerial or O/S | 06:15 |
| eseven73 | nickrud: thats a good idea | 06:15 |
| Digital8 | Is there any obvious reason that "setup (hd0)" would fail in grub? (errror: cannot mount selected partition) | 06:16 |
| nickrud | davidma, open source. You can also use their free as in beer one if you need usb | 06:16 |

| smartguyz | /usr/lib/firefox ....not working.....? | 06:18 |

| tarheelcoxn | I have a USB stick with an ext3 partition that doesn't have the right permissions when it automounts. Where is the right place to set those permissions? (clearly not /etc/fstab) | 06:19 |
| user1_ | mgolisch: thank you so much!! | 06:19 |
| mgolisch | user1_: does that work? | 06:19 |
| kompulsa_dot_com | Good night. | 06:20 |
| tarheelcoxn | I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393743 but that's a dead end on the usb ext3 automount front | 06:20 |
| user1_ | mgolisch: yeah, it poped up immedatly I minimized it trying to see if it worked or not took me a few seconds to realise | 06:20 |
| nsadmin | tarheelcoxn: ext3 has unix-style permissions, you just use chmod | 06:20 |
| ghindo | Quick question to all of those who use alternate wm/de: What application do you use to manage your network connections, if not NetworkManager? | 06:21 |
| Digital8 | still looking for input on "setup (hd0)" failing in grub | 06:21 |
| mgolisch | user1_: did it load that module again? if not it will be running usb 1.1 now but still that would be better than not working at all | 06:21 |
| mgolisch | :) | 06:21 |
| nsadmin | maybe you should be more specific what you mean by "right permissions" | 06:22 |
| Barridus | hi, anyone got a link to something that's useful in setting up file sharing for hardy desktop? | 06:22 |
| mgolisch | user1_: does lsmod|grep ehci_hcd gives anything back? | 06:22 |
| tarheelcoxn | nsadmin: chmod once and next automount it will be correct? | 06:22 |
| Barridus | i just need a good point in the right direction | 06:22 |
| nsadmin | maybe you should be more specific what you mean by "right permissions" | 06:22 |
| smartguyz | Thought this was real time support SORRY !!! | 06:22 |
| tritium | smartguyz: it is | 06:22 |
| user1_ | mgolisch: no nothing is returned,, which means it's a usb 1.1 .. right? | 06:23 |
| eseven73 | ghindo: me personally just boot up into gnome or kde when i need to mess with settings like that, then i switch back to Icewm or Window Maker, xfce or whatnot. | 06:23 |
| mgolisch | user1_: yeah | 06:24 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, you have to do your part. I'll ask one more time: put the stuff you've been trying to paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 06:24 |

| eseven73 | deb | 06:25 |
| davidma | sorry, equiv of rpm -qa | 06:25 |
| nsadmin | dpkg | 06:25 |
| davidma | dpkg -l | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | !apt | davidma | 06:25 |
| ubottu | davidma: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 06:25 |
| DarkSotM_ | .deb | 06:25 |
| nsadmin | what's -qa? | 06:25 |
| davidma | okay, i meant to list all files in a pkg | 06:25 |
| nsadmin | dpkg -L pkgname | 06:26 |
| davidma | nsadmin rpm -qa lists all pkgs on the system, like dpkg -l | 06:26 |
| tarheelcoxn | nsadmin: lists all installed packages | 06:26 |
| davidma | nsadmin thanks | 06:26 |
| davidma | sorry for the multe | 06:26 |

| YANP | I have a problem. I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my machine and when I try to install it, it says I/O Error Reading Disk and when I try to try ubuntu without installing it on my machine...it gives me pages of errors. What is the problem? I am using the CD they sent me... | 06:27 |
| DarkSotM_ | YANP: Sounds like the drive is failing | 06:27 |
| YANP | So my CD Rom drive is dead? | 06:28 |
| nsadmin | or your hd | 06:28 |
| eseven73 | YANP: does it work in other OS's? | 06:28 |
| davidma | yanp i had similar problems, and ended up doing an 'alternate' install using usb flash and network | 06:28 |
| davidma | but that was complicated. | 06:28 |
| davidma | i'm startin8g to dislke CDs anyway. slow. | 06:28 |
| YANP | I haven't tried it on a different machine. My computer is only two years old... | 06:28 |
| mgolisch | i usualy do install using debootstrap anyways | 06:29 |
| mgolisch | :) | 06:29 |
| davidma | yanp do you have a flash drive | 06:29 |
| * nickrud smacks mgolisch | 06:29 | |
| YANP | Yeah, 1gb | 06:29 |
| eseven73 | well age has nothing to do with it, a drive can fail after its first 5 mins | 06:29 |
| YANP | I am a noob... :-\ | 06:29 |
| DarkSotM_ | YANP: does it have a check cd contents option or something similar? | 06:29 |
| YANP | It has check cd for defects option | 06:30 |
| tritium | eseven73: it can, but age *does* have something to do with it. Are you familiar with the bathtub curve? Failure rates do increase with product age. | 06:30 |
| mgolisch | yeah the install cds should have that | 06:30 |
| nsadmin | YANP: instead of claiming you're a noob or whatever, just say you don't want to work all that hard for results... | 06:30 |
| eseven73 | tritium: I know but i was jut making a point | 06:30 |
| DarkSotM_ | YANP: try that and see what it says | 06:30 |
| YANP | nsadmin, I am a noob..I have been trying for 3 days now... | 06:30 |
| davidma | yanp do you have another OS alraedy on the box? see if you can read the CD there | 06:31 |
| nsadmin | what's your point in saying so, out of curiousity? | 06:31 |
| YANP | My computer freezes too..or maybe it is the drive that freezes | 06:31 |
| davidma | if you get really ambitious copy it to a flash drive. | 06:31 |
| Matias_32 | buensss.... alguna mujer que me entienda? Je | 06:31 |
| davidma | and boot off the flash if your bios supports it | 06:31 |
| DarkSotM_ | davidma: but if his drive went I don't think it would copy | 06:32 |
| nsadmin | YANP: I'd like to suggest you run a memory test program | 06:32 |
| davidma | probably true | 06:32 |
| YANP | It is 1gb ram | 06:32 |
| nsadmin | I think you should test it | 06:32 |
| smartguyz | posted goodnight..... | 06:32 |
| YANP | Okay. | 06:32 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, now give me the link so I can see it | 06:32 |
| nsadmin | if your computer freezes, I'd want to know if it's the computer or somethign running on it | 06:33 |
| xMopx | Has anyone else ever had Ubuntu destroy the bootmgr on a seperate, Vista partition? | 06:33 |
| davidma | yanp i would try to find another box and put the CD on a flash drive. Look up syslinux too, you'll need to make the flash drive bootable | 06:33 |
| smartguyz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103397/ | 06:33 |
| YANP | I am going to look for that USB Flash drive thing. | 06:33 |
| davidma | yanp there are some wiki pages on doing a flash install. | 06:33 |
| davidma | google will turn them up | 06:33 |
| DarkSotM_ | I had a drive that gave me I/O errors... the cable was only half way pluged in | 06:33 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras , that will install flash 'the ubuntu way' | 06:34 |

| Digital8 | rok1: did you already try ndiswrapper? | 06:42 |
| michaelyao | wow | 06:42 |
| smartguyz | I use video but I am unable to view flash at the moment | 06:42 |
| michaelyao | huge number of people | 06:42 |
| Digital8 | rok1: or b43, or similar | 06:42 |
| smartguyz | use video for training | 06:42 |
| joljam | is there any one here who knows unix shell scripting and can help me | 06:42 |
| smartguyz | it works for me .... | 06:43 |
| rokr1 | can i use wicd instead of NM...?? | 06:43 |
| Digital8 | rokr1: if you know where to obtain your windows drivers, ndiswrapper could do the job | 06:43 |
| _Cid | good :) | 06:43 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, so, did that command work? | 06:43 |
| sarmisak | microchip420, you have to force it through a terminal try this; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o force | 06:43 |
| Cotowar | does anyone else have a problem with random freezes in Ubuntu 8.10? my laptop randomly freezes up and I have to hold the power button | 06:43 |
| rokr1 | will it help | 06:43 |
| rokr1 | ?? | 06:43 |
| Digital8 | rokr1: ndiswrapper allows you to use a windows driver in ubuntu | 06:43 |
| microchip420 | sarmisak, do i need to insert the name of the HDD? | 06:43 |
| michaelyao | no my ubuntu is working fine, but it doesn't seem to download a driver when i ask it too | 06:43 |
| Digital8 | rokr1: there's lots of good guides on the forums on how to use it | 06:43 |
| sarmisak | microchip420, you should switch /dev/sdb1 with the correct device name, yes | 06:43 |
| DarkSotM_ | joljam: What kinda scripts? | 06:43 |
| microchip420 | kk, just a sec | 06:43 |
| mgolisch | rokr1: i think i saw that somewhere, i think it had to do with some of the wlan stacks configuration modules not properly detecting the country settings from the device firmware, it had to do that with some country profiles certain wlan channels can not be used or something | 06:44 |
| smartguyz | nsadmin: no I already have the latest 1 o files updated.... | 06:44 |
| Cotowar | i get this problem both after screwing in my kernel a bit, and from a clean install. I've been keeping tabs on what and when the crash happens though | 06:44 |
| rokr1 | ok ndiswrapper i get ndisgtk that one | 06:45 |
| rokr1 | ??? | 06:45 |

| TheFunkbomb | it is Java based | 06:46 |
| HarassmentPanda | michaelyao: I had a similar problem when I first installed, mine was because I was already running a package manager at the time but there wasn't an actual error displayed about this being the problem | 06:46 |
| Cotowar | oh, heres another couple of random problems I have with 8.10 | 06:46 |
| rokr1 | had problem with X3100 but it was solved | 06:46 |
| TheFunkbomb | sloopy, well, at least I know it can be done | 06:46 |
| michaelyao | rawr too many people asking for help, too little exp people | 06:47 |
| rokr1 | but problem with 3945 | 06:47 |
| Cotowar | how do i get an external monitor to work in 8.10? | 06:47 |
| michaelyao | err, are you using firefox? | 06:47 |
| DarkSotM_ | johninle: try "net send * [message]" | 06:47 |
| rokr1 | man tats tooo much | 06:47 |

| HarassmentPanda | michaelyao: I had a similar problem when I first installed, mine was because I was already running a package manager at the time but there wasn't an actual error displayed about this being the problem | 06:48 |
| sarmisak | microchip420, yeah | 06:48 |

| michaelyao | panda, i'm freezing at -% | 06:48 |
| HarassmentPanda | I was as well | 06:48 |
| DarkSotM_ | downloading graphics card? | 06:48 |
| lee1733 | I am running separate X sessions on dual monitors connected to an nvidia 8800gt on Ubuntu 8.10. Any time I click a program from the panel of the second monitor, the panels freeze and sometimes a blank error message pops up. I can open programs on the 2nd monitor from the command line. What could be causing this? | 06:48 |
| HarassmentPanda | are you sure you don't have any other package managers running | 06:48 |
| _Cid | johninlex: why not, did it say? you just looking to echo a message to someone else on the same machine? | 06:48 |
| michaelyao | i've run hardwar driver by itself, so there no 2 package manger runnign | 06:48 |
| michaelyao | and i've also changed my softwar sorce to random places | 06:48 |
| TheFunkbomb | michaelyao, that site worked fine | 06:49 |
| _Cid | johninlex: oh, sorry - you said to other PC - you want to look into net send | 06:49 |
| TheFunkbomb | let me try yahoo games again | 06:49 |
| michaelyao | yeah | 06:49 |
| nsadmin | smartguyz, so I'm going for food... if you want to get better results try being: specific, informative, concise, complete... oh, and after the burrito, I'm practicing scales | 06:49 |
| HarassmentPanda | I don't think changing to random places will work | 06:49 |
| michaelyao | kk, huh | 06:49 |
| johninlex | ok | 06:49 |
| _Cid | johninlex: sorry, never done that before, looking now - guessing there is something as part of samba | 06:50 |
| microchip420 | sarmisak, pm? | 06:50 |
| Cotowar | i have a thinkpad t61, and in 8.04 I could connect an external monitor, but in 8.10, I cannot. the monitor is the same in both cases, but 8.10 does not even recognize it is there. Can anyome help me solve this? | 06:50 |
| TheFunkbomb | it worked! | 06:50 |
| TheFunkbomb | Hallelujah | 06:50 |
| DarkSotM_ | johninlex: you could set up a jabber server | 06:50 |
| _Cid | johninlex: is you just type in 'net send' it gives pretty good help :) | 06:50 |
| TheFunkbomb | no, it just bombed FF out | 06:51 |
| johninlex | yea _cid I was reading on it now | 06:51 |
| smartguyz | nsadmin: I pasted all the information here http://paste.ubuntu.com/103397/ this is my problem in detail.... what more do you want....? | 06:51 |
| johninlex | Darksotm What is jabber server | 06:52 |
| fox_jazz | a chat server | 06:52 |
| nsadmin | smartguyz: do you really want to know? | 06:52 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, you never pasted the results of the command I asked you to run | 06:52 |
| nsadmin | I want a burrito, a pony, three chicken tacos... and hold the cilantro please! | 06:52 |
| DarkSotM_ | johniinlex: It lets you run your own instant messanger server | 06:52 |
| TheFunkbomb | it makes me force quit the window | 06:53 |
| nickrud | nsadmin, wrong device, you need a phone | 06:53 |
| Cotowar | smartguyz: did you try going to youtube, and adding gnash when the flash vid won't work? that's how I always do it | 06:53 |
| nsadmin | I have a phone... wanna burrito :P | 06:53 |
| fox_jazz | anyone using hyperV | 06:53 |
| nsadmin | ok, so I'll be around after awhile | 06:53 |
| smartguyz | nickrud: the results is nothing happened did you read th last line....? | 06:53 |
| Cotowar | I generally add gnash, swf, and the third option in there just so I know it will work | 06:53 |
| DarkSotM_ | johninlex: I used to have on set up in side my network to talk to my brother across the house | 06:53 |
| johninlex | Dark I was just wanting to let other people that uses my network to know if I was going to shut it down | 06:54 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, no, it got cut off. the bots cut off more than 3-5 lines. That's why we use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 06:54 |
| mgolisch | rokr1: you can try reloading the cfg80211 module with for forcing a regulatory country profile | 06:54 |
| DarkSotM_ | johninlex: then net send is pry your best bet | 06:54 |
| nickrud | smartguyz, used to be people would paste 100+ lines here, no one could work till they all scrolled by | 06:54 |
| johninlex | but see there is two computer that is Windowzzzz | 06:54 |
| nsadmin | nickrud: he did, he pasted... now I'm gone... really... | 06:54 |
| smartguyz | colowar: yes I did same results nothing no video.... | 06:54 |
| nickrud | nsadmin, no, that was the results of the adobe flashh installer | 06:55 |
| Cotowar | that's dumb | 06:55 |
| nsadmin | oh ok | 06:55 |
| Cotowar | i remember i had a hell of atime with it once...im trying to remember what I had to do | 06:55 |
| nsadmin | give him the pastebin pipe script | 06:55 |
| nsadmin | !pastebin pipe | 06:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin pipe | 06:55 |
| mgolisch | rokr1: like sudo modprobe -r cfg80211 abd sudo modprobe cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=64 | 06:55 |
| DarkSotM_ | johninlex: I used to broadcast net send * in the windows computer labs at school | 06:56 |
| Cotowar | smartguyz: i noticed you were in no particular directory in your pastebin post | 06:56 |
| nickrud | Cotowar, depends on what's been done already. Sometimes it takes more surgery, sometimes less | 06:56 |
| johninlex | ok installing it now through Synaptic | 06:56 |
| nsadmin | smartguyz Download http://pastebin.ca/download/paste2pastebin.pl and install libwww-mechanize-perl. Then pipe your output to perl paste2pastebin.pl. You can also "aptitude install pastebinit" if you are on lenny/sid. Upload a file to http://pastebin.ca/upload.php pipe to "nc paste.dyndns.org 1234". | 06:57 |
| smartguyz | Costwar: /usr/lib/firfox not found....? | 06:57 |
| Cotowar | nickrud: i couldn't get it from a clean install, only one time though, every other time has been cake | 06:57 |
| nickrud | Cotowar, probably a time when adobe had a new version out, but ubuntu hadn't updated it's installer | 06:58 |
| Cotowar | smartguyz: have you gone to www.adobe.com and saved a .deb package to your desktop? | 06:58 |
| Cotowar | nickrud: exactly the problem | 06:58 |
| smartguyz | yep | 06:58 |
| DarkSotM_ | johninlex: I'm not sure but windows *may* have turned this feture off by default | 06:58 |
| tritium | I can't open my DVB card with VLC or xine. After installing dvb-utils, I noticed this issue with udev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103400/ | 06:58 |
| levander | I'm using Google Earth. Does anyone know what the green and brown blocks all over the map mean? Can't find it in the help docs. | 06:59 |
| smartguyz | Colowar: yes I have.... | 06:59 |
| johninlex | well we will find out in a few sec I have my laptop beside me to find out | 06:59 |
| Cotowar | the ./flashplayer-installer should be in the package | 06:59 |
| Cotowar | i think... | 06:59 |
| DarkSotM_ | green=grass brown=dirt? | 06:59 |
| Cotowar | im not that awesome with linux, all i really do is programming and facebook | 06:59 |
| nickrud | tritium, that's really old school, pre udev. And I can't get my dvb working either. | 06:59 |
| jan247 | hi guys, was hoping to ask about openvpn. my vpn connection works using the command line, but doesn't work with the plug-in for the network applet | 06:59 |
| davidma | google earth runs on ubunto? | 07:00 |
| tritium | nickrud: which is old-school? dvb-utils, or the error? | 07:00 |
| Cotowar | but honestly im just trying to think of all the things that i get stuck on myself | 07:00 |
| tritium | davidma: yes, google has a repository for it | 07:00 |
| davidma | great! | 07:00 |
| DarkSotM_ | davidma: ya I got it on mine, native too | 07:00 |

| tritium | nickrud: note that I *could* use my DVB card with xine and VLC on 8.04 | 07:01 |
| nickrud | tritium, the error. that static dir is a holdover from when all devices were created at once , not dynamicallly using udev | 07:01 |
| * RyeBrye wonders if ubottu can be set up to respond via PM - because seriously... how many people give a crap about the download URL for google earth? | 07:01 | |
| davidma | well thanks all. | 07:02 |

| Cotowar | apt-get vs. aptitude....everyone's thoughts? | 07:02 |
| Berzerker | Hi, I have a Dell Vostro 1500 that I'm installing Ubuntu Ibex on, and I'm trying to set up wireless. ifconfig -a shows wlan0, but it doesn't show in normal ifconfig and it won't connect | 07:02 |
| tritium | nickrud: I wonder why I'm getting that on 8.10, then | 07:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 07:03 |
| silv3r_m00n | suggest a nes rom emulator | 07:03 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: personal preference :) I like apt-get <shrug> | 07:03 |
| nickrud | tritium, you should file a bug, maybe. I just looked in there and nearly all the old devices are no longer created | 07:03 |
| rokr1 | hi purple | 07:03 |
| rokr1 | !!! | 07:03 |
| DarkSotM_ | !emerge | 07:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emerge | 07:03 |
| nickrud | tritium, used to be over a thousand entries there | 07:03 |
| DarkSotM_ | !portage | 07:03 |
| Cotowar | Cid: doesn't apt-get just get the stuff you ask it to get though? | 07:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about portage | 07:03 |
| tritium | nickrud: thanks for checking. I do have a ton of entries listed there. | 07:04 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: what else do you want it to do? | 07:04 |
| Cotowar | Cid: dependencies | 07:04 |
| nickrud | tritium, heh. I have less than 50 | 07:04 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: nah, does that too | 07:04 |
| Cotowar | Cid: I've heard the difference is that aptitude will remove the dependencies if you used it to install, whereas apt-get will leave them there | 07:04 |
| Cotowar | Cid: i fear extraneous files...it reminds me of my windows days... | 07:05 |
| tritium | Cotowar: no longer an issue, since apt-get autoremove does the same thing | 07:05 |
| DarkSotM_ | apt-get will remove if you use apt-get autoremove | 07:05 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: hehe ..apt can clear those..but true..its an extra command | 07:05 |
| Cotowar | ooo | 07:05 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: what Dark said :P | 07:05 |
| Cotowar | :) | 07:05 |
| nickrud | tritium, well, less than a 100 | 07:05 |
| tritium | nickrud: 289 items in my /dev/.static/dev/ | 07:05 |
| DarkSotM_ | I still like emerge, nothin' beats an ebuild | 07:05 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: I gotta admit, i never even really looked at the alternatives, I came from Debian, and just love apt-get .... habbit I guess | 07:05 |
| Berzerker | anyone? | 07:06 |
| nickrud | tritium, what dvb? | 07:06 |

| bazhang | Berzerker, do you have the repo enabled | 07:11 |
| nickrud | tritium, I wouldn't expect anything to actually use those static devices anymore. Back when I was following kernel stuff, roughly during the switch from devfs to udev, the talk was of simply dropping all the static stuff. some complained, so the static ones got moved. | 07:11 |

| CodyRo | Terinjokes: Good question ;) | 07:18 |
| DarkSotM_ | Cotowar: You could keep grub and the kernel on it and boot that way | 07:18 |
| Netham45 | Cotowar, sure, wipe your HD's MBR, and put grub on a memory stick set to boot off of the C drive. :D | 07:18 |
| johninlex | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `<' I got that error by the way | 07:18 |
| Terinjokes | bazhang: is all I need on at the bottom of http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/hardy/b43-fwcutter? (ie, debhelper is already installed) | 07:18 |
| bazhang | Terinjokes, that extracts the firmware (b43-fwcutter) | 07:19 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: dont do the <'s thats just to indicate that you put your message here | 07:19 |
| balrog__ | im having trouble with xournal | 07:19 |
| _Cid | woops, wrong person | 07:19 |
| _Cid | johninlex: dont put the <'s there - they are just indicating that is wher eyou put your string | 07:19 |
| Grayvon | How can I give the network manager applet permission to connect automatically on startup to my router through my wireless adapter? I don't want to have to enter my pw everytime | 07:19 |
| DarkSotM_ | Cotowar: the problem with that however is that anyone with a bootable disk could still boot the system | 07:19 |
| chris_ | UPGRADE | 07:19 |
| Terinjokes | bazhang: scratch that... i would need gcc for that page... why isn't b43-fwcutter compiled for ppc? | 07:20 |
| _Cid | johninlex: smbclient -M Hello -I 192.168.1.100 (or whatever the machine you are trying to talk to has for IP) | 07:20 |
| Cotowar | What I mean I guess is that I would have part of the kernel on the HD, and part on the USB | 07:20 |
| Cotowar | kind of like a security dongle for software | 07:20 |
| bazhang | !upgrade | chris_ | 07:20 |
| ubottu | chris_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:20 |
| bazhang | Terinjokes, no idea about ppc, there is a channel for ubuntu-ppc though that may know | 07:21 |
| Terinjokes | bazhang: idle... | 07:21 |
| DarkSotM_ | Cotowar: I saw a peice of software that was sposed to do just that, I forgot the name thou )-; | 07:21 |
| DarkSotM_ | Cotowar: let me see if I can find it | 07:21 |
| Cotowar | I think it would be interesting to try it | 07:21 |
| Cotowar | and i have nothing better to do...really | 07:21 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: generally speaking, if you want that kind of security ..I am not sure I would use Ubuntu ....I mean, you easily could - but you might want to hang out with some of the super security nuts ...they tend to stick to pure Debian ..or other obscure distros that only they know themselves ;-) | 07:22 |
| lolwut | anyone familiar with network sharing? when I right click to share a file it then errors back telling me I do not have authority and to contact my network admin | 07:22 |
| zamarax | hi, anyone else ever have a problem where installing extensions in firefox just hang on 'waiting; | 07:22 |
| Knotts | anyone here have an idea why enabling a nvidia driver would freeze the computer after rebooting??? | 07:22 |
| Barridus | good evening gurus, is it possible to set a ntfs internal data drive to automount? | 07:22 |
| Cotowar | Yea, I wanted to try a couple different flavours, but I'm a retard on the command line, even though I know and understand exactly what I want to do, and how the computer does it | 07:23 |
| Grayvon | How can I give the network manager applet permission to connect automatically on startup to my router through my wireless adapter? I don't want to have to enter my pw everytime | 07:23 |
| Cotowar | I just got linux in a nutshell, basically a 900 page compilation of linux commands and how to use them though | 07:23 |
| DarkSotM_ | If you want secure use openBSD | 07:24 |
| Cotowar | i actually have a copy of dragonfly BSD | 07:24 |
| fabius11 | ciao | 07:24 |
| Cotowar | peace | 07:24 |
| lolwut | any support guys around? | 07:25 |
| Knotts | anyone here have an idea on why enabling a Nvidia driver would freeze ubuntu after restart? | 07:25 |
| Cotowar | oh, and have any of you guys read into the vulnerability of firewire connections? | 07:25 |
| lolwut | oh well, I will try back tomorrow | 07:25 |
| mattgyver83 | I hope this isnt a silly question, is there a way to paste clipboard text into the terminal via command line, not ctrl+p | 07:26 |
| Knotts | anyone at all? | 07:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | !ask | Knotts | 07:26 |
| ubottu | Knotts: 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. :-) | 07:26 |
| lolwut | Cotowar, no, but maybe you can and report back to us | 07:26 |
| Cotowar | lolwut | 07:26 |
| Cotowar | hang on, i forgot to type my response | 07:26 |
| Cotowar | lol | 07:26 |
| lolwut | ushimitsudoki: are you familiar with network sharing? when I right click to share a file it then errors back telling me I do not have authority and to contact my network admin | 07:27 |
| rogermudd | mattgyver: ctrl+shift+v or right-click and select "paste" | 07:27 |
| holis | hy | 07:27 |
| Grayvon | Is there somewhere you can tell the system what actions require your pw? | 07:27 |
| mattgyver83 | rodgermud, im trying to paste selected text into the terminal, pretend no mouse | 07:27 |
| Knotts | why would enabling any Nvidia grafix driver through hardware drivers, cause ubuntu to freeze on startup after restart? | 07:27 |
| holis | asl plz? | 07:28 |
| ushimitsudoki | lolwut: I'm sorry I don't know where one right-clicks to share a file | 07:28 |
| rogermudd | then cntrl+shift+v | 07:28 |
| rogermudd | you have to add the shift to the normal routine | 07:28 |
| Cotowar | lolwut: the way firewire is set up give it direct access to the physical RAM chip in the computer, meaning anyone with access to the firewire port can theoretically steal the data in your RAM, and can also run memory overflows and such without the OS being able to stop it | 07:28 |
| Cotowar | holis: 13/f/fl | 07:28 |
| lolwut | ushimitsudoki: I can right click a folder to enable sharing, but it says that I do not have permission | 07:28 |
| ushimitsudoki | lolwut: in Nautilus? | 07:29 |
| lolwut | ushimitsudoki: I recall seeing that name | 07:29 |
| butt3rz | Grayvon visudo is used to edit your sudoers file - you to define no password for certain actions. | 07:29 |
| Saida | Hey | 07:29 |
| lolwut | ushimitsudoki: I did dl the windows file sharing thing just now | 07:29 |
| DarkSotM_ | Cotowar: I can't find it but basicly it encrypt your file system and keeps the key on a usb drive so you can't boot with out it let alone read anything | 07:29 |
| Cotowar | yea, thats what im talking about | 07:30 |
| johninlex | _cid thank you and I will do more studing on these two and get them working and again thank you for your help | 07:30 |
| Knotts | why would enabling any Nvidia grafix driver through hardware drivers, cause ubuntu to freeze on startup after restart? | 07:30 |
| DarkSotM_ | try looking up truecrypt | 07:30 |
| johninlex | and you to Darksotm_ | 07:30 |
| Cotowar | okies | 07:30 |
| balrog__ | im having trouble with xournal, the input is not acting correctly. there seem to be edges for the stylus on the xournal paper that i cant draw over, but the paper extends beyond the edges of the stylus limits. anybody know how to troubleshoot xorg.conf (on Intrepid) still? | 07:30 |
| Cotowar | PS, i need to get an ironkey | 07:30 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: do you know where in the process it is freezing up? | 07:31 |
| DarkSotM_ | Cotowar you pry don't need an ironkey | 07:31 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: thats not a real vurnability :-) | 07:31 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: it freezes before login, right after loading page. thats all i can tell. | 07:31 |
| Cotowar | lol. but it fricking explodes if you dont know the pw | 07:31 |
| Terinjokes | bazhang: i don't think i'm going to get it working | 07:32 |
| _Cid | Cotowar: did you hear about the security leak in the keyboard? ...someone can enter commands and get output back :) Physical access can't be made 'hacker-safe' ...I get the feeling we are drifting off-topic here btw | 07:32 |
| DarkSotM_ | if you just encryp the files in the file system and save a few bucks | 07:32 |
| Terinjokes | i can install a binary, because one hasn't been compiled (and released), and I can't go from source, because then I have to track down all the packages needed to do that | 07:32 |
| Knotts | ushimitusudoki: only way i can get around it, is to use the fix xserver command. | 07:32 |
| Terinjokes | bazhang: ^^^ | 07:32 |
| butt3rz | Grayvon: Administration/Login Window - to setup no password option' | 07:32 |
| === Berzerker is now known as Berzerker|away | ||
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: Did you try to use grub to boot into single mode? This will give you the command line instead of going right into X. Then, you can use "startx" to try to load X. That way you might be able to see the errors better. Maybe take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:32 |
| fabius11 | help install ubuntu 8.10 | 07:33 |
| lolwut | ushimitsudoki: Nautilus has nothing to do with sharing over a network does it? | 07:33 |
| Cotowar | Cid: nah i mean the way its set up. USB for example, does not have direct memory access, thus the OS knows what you are doing, and can prevent memory overflows. granted, there are software workarounds, but im just saying, Ubuntu has no clue what you are sending over firewire. | 07:34 |
| ushimitsudoki | lolwut: no. that is why i don't understand what you are talking about right-clicking on. I use NFS to share files myself. Samba is another option. | 07:34 |
| Terinjokes | lolwut: samba is a popular way of sharing over the network (windows sharing) | 07:34 |
| fabius11 | c'e qualcuno italiano? | 07:34 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: how do i boot into single mode with grub? | 07:34 |
| aata | hey i know this isnt the perfect place to ask, but could anyone recommend a really quick/fast booting distro that i can run on my desktop primarily for web browsing and music? | 07:35 |
| Cotowar | Does anyone here follow ReactOS? its basically an opensourced version of Windows XP | 07:35 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: at system boot, you should be able to press "ESC" to see the grub menu ... like after your BIOS loads and devices are checked ... in the menu that comes up then, it should be the second option ... this is from memory but I think it's right | 07:35 |
| Terinjokes | Cotowar: i do | 07:35 |
| Cotowar | aata: ubuntustudio is a good media version, or try Xubuntu, as its really low profile | 07:35 |
| davit | hello i was wondering if i could get some assisstance with chmod on a extgernal drive | 07:36 |
| Terinjokes | Cotowar: been a while since i've looked though | 07:36 |
| lianimator | the latest update has made Image Viewer open very slowly.. | 07:36 |
| rogermudd | aata" I think #! (Crunchbang)is a popular choice here along with Arch. | 07:36 |
| lolwut | Terinjokes: I am looking to create file sharing over my local network, but between this ubuntu box and 2 macbooks | 07:36 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: ok thanks. using the root command line. so i should go ahead and try to load a driver again. and use the startx command from root, right? | 07:36 |
| Cotowar | Terinjokes: same here, i was just wondering how far they were with it...not that i need it | 07:36 |
| aata | cotowar ubuntustudios a bit too hardcore i just need it for basic browsing/flash and listening to music... im trying to set the computer up for my kids | 07:36 |
| Saida | Ok here i got again lol, I have a Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter in my Hp G50 laptop. I dual installed 8.10 Desktop edition of Ubuntu and everything went well. Then when i got to the desktop right after I install Ubuntu I tryed to turn on my wireless adapter and I had no luck. "Also LAN Line isnt working either" So I enabled the wireless network and no networks showed when I left click on the little computer monitor icon nect to t | 07:36 |
| chen | hello,every one. | 07:37 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: the driver should already be loaded ... you can see it in the boot process or check /var/log/dmesg ... then you can either "startx" or "init 3" to get X up. For troubleshooting, I would just startx as root, just to see what happens. that's where i would start anyway | 07:37 |
| rogermudd | aata: Have you tried Xubuntu? | 07:37 |
| davit | hello i was wondering if i could get some assisstance with chmod on a extgernal drive | 07:37 |
| Terinjokes | lolwut: http://www.lathi.net/pages/afp-rendezvous-on-linux | 07:37 |
| lolwut | thnx | 07:37 |
| FireFox|| | !chmod | 07:37 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 07:37 |
| techsupport | how can i get nano to show line numbers ? | 07:38 |
| Cotowar | aata: oh, maybe go with fedora? its probably the most user-friendly distro after ubuntu when new users are concerned. it does everything you need, and its reasonably fast. | 07:38 |
| Terinjokes | lolwut: a little out of date, but might help | 07:38 |
| FireFox|| | there you go davit | 07:38 |
| fabius11 | qualche esperto italiano? | 07:38 |
| adam7 | !it | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 07:38 |
| Saida | Does anyone have any ida how I can get my wireless card to work? | 07:38 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: ok thanks. ill give it a shot. tho i dont know exactly what im doing lol. | 07:38 |
| adam7 | !wireless | Saida | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Saida: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:38 |
| aata | hmmm cotowar ill check it out. is the best way to get a really quick boot to compile a custom kernel? | 07:38 |
| Cotowar | aata: or maybe run ubuntu 8.04 32-bit with noting but eliza installed on it. | 07:38 |
| DarkSotM_ | techsupport: Ctrl^C | 07:38 |
| davit | firefox||: i just cd to dictionarty and do tat? | 07:38 |
| Saida | Ive checked that any nothing seems to work | 07:39 |
| adam7 | aata: Arch can boot in <30 sec using the stock kernel IIRC | 07:39 |
| aata | !eliza > aata | 07:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about eliza | 07:39 |
| fabius11 | nel canale italiano non ce nessuno | 07:39 |
| adam7 | !it > fabius11 | 07:39 |
| ubottu | fabius11, please see my private message | 07:39 |
| Cotowar | aata: IDK about that, it might be worth your time to just by more RAM for the comp. its cheap and does wonders for speed. | 07:39 |
| aata | adam7 archlinux/ | 07:39 |
| aata | ? | 07:39 |
| adam7 | aata: yep | 07:39 |
| Cotowar | eliza does movies, music, and photos i believe | 07:39 |
| FireFox|| | davit this might help you more : http://www.catcode.com/teachmod/ | 07:39 |
| Cotowar | its a great program, i absolutely love it | 07:39 |
| aata | adam7 ill check that out | 07:40 |
| Terinjokes | Cotowar: i've never used it for anything good... on my PPC system, almost as slow as XP | 07:40 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: one more question please. how do i look at /var/log/xorg.0.log or /var/log/dmesg ? | 07:40 |
| JCDG | hey does someone know any program to make movies, as simple as Movie maker? | 07:40 |
| aata | adam7 cotowar what about debian? | 07:40 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: you can use less "filename" | 07:40 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: you can look at them without being root | 07:41 |
| Cotowar | Terin: I had it set up on an old dell at college. we had quite the system going for file sharing, and used the Dell to play all the vids on the giant TV. | 07:41 |
| davit | firefox||: I enter chmod -R 777 and i get chmod: missing operand after `777' | 07:41 |
| adam7 | aata: it's pretty fast too, at least last time I tried it | 07:41 |
| Cotowar | aata: I know nothing about Debian | 07:41 |
| Cotowar | aata: try going to www.linux.org, and looking around there | 07:41 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: if you want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will need to do so as root, using something like "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 07:41 |
| Cotowar | you will find many things that might work for you | 07:41 |
| aata | adam7 cuase i just installed eee-debian on an eee pc and with a custom kernel got it to boot up in < 30 secs | 07:41 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: you will not be editing logs in /var/log obviously | 07:41 |
| aata | so i was just thinking .... | 07:41 |
| Cotowar | get a solid state drive to boot from | 07:42 |
| Knotts | lol obbbvious to you maybe. haha | 07:42 |
| FireFox|| | davit: is that read and write all? | 07:42 |
| Cotowar | actually don't. they are expensive | 07:42 |
| adam7 | aata: Debian might be a good idea if you're used to Ubuntu | 07:42 |
| Cotowar | ooooooo!!!! | 07:42 |
| Cotowar | Idea time! | 07:42 |
| davit | firefox||: yah | 07:42 |
| aata | adam7 i was thinking just install a basic text based system (debian) | 07:42 |
| Cotowar | okay, so you know those little tiny MicroSD cards that go into phones? | 07:42 |
| aata | and then install something like lxde | 07:43 |
| aata | on top of it | 07:43 |
| Fezzler | I used Window Shade Rollup effect to hide a running app, now I can't get it to drop down again???? Can't lose data! | 07:43 |
| Saida | Thank you Ubottu I think I found a solution | 07:43 |
| Terinjokes | aata: or jump over to Gentoo and have fun | 07:43 |
| adam7 | aata: yeah, that would work well | 07:43 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: look for errors in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If you can't figure anything out, then pastebin them so someone in this channel can take a look | 07:43 |
| jinja-sheep | Fezzler: Click on the titlebar? | 07:43 |
| YANP | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-gSMl2cafQ&NR=1 ROFL @ 2:35 | 07:43 |
| aata | adam7 :P and if i install lxlauncher, i can make it look like an oversized eee pc :P | 07:44 |
| FireFox|| | Check out that website davit there is an easy overview | 07:44 |
| FireFox|| | http://www.catcode.com/teachmod/ | 07:44 |
| adam7 | aata: you probably could :) | 07:44 |
| Cotowar | I was thinking about making an array of MicroSD cards and booting my OS from there via eSATA connection on the front of my laptop | 07:44 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: sorry for the trouble. but what command i use to view the logs? just typing the location in term doesnt show me. | 07:44 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: less | 07:44 |
| Cotowar | how plausible is this? | 07:44 |
| davit | firefox||: ok ill look over it now | 07:44 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: you could do it, but chances are those cards are really slow | 07:44 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: like this: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | Cotowar, theres secure, theres paranoid. and then theres Tin-Foil-Hat Paranoid. :) | 07:44 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: HDD would be much faster | 07:44 |
| Knotts | no such file/directory | 07:44 |
| nsadmin | aata ubuntu (or debian, or gentoo, or slack, or linux kernel + libc + gcc + bash) can be a basic text-based linux | 07:45 |
| Fezzler | Please don't let me lose hours of data due to Desktop Effect! | 07:45 |
| Cotowar | adam7: not necessarily. they are basically mini solid state drives | 07:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: no no that can't be right ... at least I hope not. check spelling ... and use TAB-completion to make sure you get the file name right | 07:45 |
| adam7 | Fezzler: how did your roll the window up | 07:45 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: so are SD cards | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | Fezzler, metacity --replace to disable the effects perhaps.. I didtnt hink the rollup stuff was a 'effect' a lot of windo wmanagers have that. | 07:45 |
| butt3rz | there is a minimal install ubuntu that is text based also | 07:45 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: and SD cards aren't very fast | 07:45 |
| Cotowar | the only reason people don't do it already is they have a limited number of write cycles | 07:45 |
| Knotts | ok tyvm that got it open. | 07:46 |
| Fezzler | Double click title bar | 07:46 |
| nsadmin | Fezzler: ok, back up your storage :) | 07:46 |
| adam7 | aata: you could do an Ubuntu server install | 07:46 |
| Fezzler | App is Blender | 07:46 |
| Cotowar | I was thinking RAID 0 on like 10 of them | 07:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: at this point you are looking for lines preceeded with (EE) - errors | 07:46 |
| Fezzler | nsadmin> :) | 07:46 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: if they get 5MB/s read, then you're just approaching the speed of a SATA drive | 07:46 |
| aata | adam7 hmmm i think im going to go with debian i like the way it works with apt-get :P | 07:46 |
| Cotowar | they get 20MB/s | 07:46 |
| Knotts | lol, is there a "Find" feature in term? cuz this list is looong. | 07:47 |
| Cotowar | I looked around for a long time, found all the info on them, down to the pinouts and which are the data lines | 07:47 |
| nsadmin | Fezzler one pont I'n trying to make is you're responsible for your files... there's no "letting" you lose your data | 07:47 |
| Cotowar | also found the microcontroller to route the data, similar to striping on a standard RAID controller | 07:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: yes, you can use grep ... like this: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:47 |
| FireFox|| | Cotowar: so you have a real raid controller for hooking up a lot of cards? | 07:48 |
| Fezzler | nsadmin>> Thank mom! | 07:48 |
| Knotts | tyvm ushimitsudoki | 07:48 |
| Cotowar | I want to build it | 07:48 |
| Cotowar | I think it can be done | 07:48 |
| nsadmin | Fezzler: and no one else is your mom too, besides your mom :P | 07:48 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: but what's hte point? (other then it sounds cool) | 07:48 |
| Knotts | (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 07:49 |
| DarkSotM_ | wow midnight already | 07:49 |
| Cotowar | adam7: its fast, and if you buy enough drives ($16 a pop or less), you can outperform a solid state drive, and can boot in like 5 seconds | 07:49 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: but then you'll be limited by CPU | 07:49 |
| Cotowar | adam7: I was also thinking about installing it in my car | 07:49 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: and I'm still not convinced they are that fast | 07:49 |
| Fezzler | adam7>> I think Blender didn't like the rollup effect or my graphics card doesn't | 07:49 |
| Cotowar | they are | 07:49 |
| davit | Hello how can i make ubuntu see an external drive as a flash drive | 07:49 |
| adam7 | Fezzler: now that's possible | 07:49 |
| adam7 | davit: plug it in? | 07:50 |
| Cotowar | i didnt believe it myself | 07:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: alrighty then, how about you check dmesg and see what's up there. You can use something like: dmesg | grep -i nvidia. Don't paste results in this channel, use pastebin and link | 07:50 |
| davit | adam7: i wanna make it usb startup disk but it wont show up in menu | 07:50 |
| adam7 | davit: why do you need to make an external drive a flash drive? | 07:50 |
| adam7 | oh | 07:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: oh also, check if the nvidia driver is loading: lsmod | grep -i nvidia | 07:50 |
| Knotts | ok ushimitsudoki, | 07:50 |
| davit | adam7: i dont have a large usb flash drive so i using external one | 07:50 |
| Knotts | uhmmm. how do i use the pastbin and link? | 07:51 |

| ubottu | Knotts, please see my private message | 07:51 |
| FireFox|| | Cotowar: I also think that the number of drivers in RAID0 , however very effective and performant wont profit very much from a 9nth driver or 10th extra | 07:52 |
| Cotowar | I was mainly thinking embedded systems OS, if you couple with a nano-ITX mobo would work nicely in a car for those car computers | 07:52 |
| Knotts | thanks adam7 | 07:52 |
| rogermudd | !pastebin | 07:52 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 07:52 |
| davit | any help? | 07:53 |
| DarkSotM_ | !beer | 07:53 |
| * herra tosses DarkSotM_ a can of beer. (1 beers have been ordered). | 07:53 | |
| ubottu | Beer is always appreciated. | 07:53 |
| FireFox|| | Also you might be interested in the SD to SSD boards arround | 07:53 |
| FireFox|| | not very expensive | 07:53 |
| Cotowar | FireFox: as long as you dont have more data throughput than the cable can handle, you'll be okay. and the computer can handle it as far as CPU clock cycles, seeing as those are in the billions. you can get a 3.3GHz wolfdale for like $169 | 07:53 |
| Cotowar | what are theese SD to SSD boards? | 07:54 |
| Knotts | is this correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103416/ | 07:54 |
| FireFox|| | they allow you to place let's say 4 SD cards on a board and convert this in to 1 space available as SSD | 07:54 |
| Cotowar | yea, thats kind of what im thinking about | 07:55 |
| ushimitsudoki | KNotts: also pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf pls | 07:55 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: you can do the same thing easily with a USB hub, a couple of flash drives, and fakeraid | 07:55 |
| Cotowar | not as small though, and USB maxes out at 480 MB/s whereas Sata is 3GB/s | 07:56 |
| davit | is thre anyway to make an external drive an installer? | 07:57 |
| useruseruseruser | ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggunit | 07:57 |
| Cotowar | I did think aobut trying with a 96 GB/s infiniband cable, but I don't have hundreds of $$ to drop on this stuff | 07:57 |
| FireFox|| | Cotowar: I actually think your cheaper off to buy a real ssd, these things are getting very cheap.:) | 07:57 |
| Cotowar | Yea, but its not as goony | 07:57 |
| useruseruseruser | hello everyone | 07:57 |
| Cotowar | and I can't save up money like that very well | 07:57 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103418/ | 07:58 |
| Cotowar | I have to buy little pieces | 07:58 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: I think that if it were as simple as that, we would all be using SSDs now | 07:58 |
| Cotowar | the trouble is that SD cards are flash based, and have limited write cycles | 07:58 |
| DarkSotM_ | davit: like a usb installer? | 07:58 |
| Cotowar | you would wear out an SD card in a couple months if you used it for a normal HD | 07:58 |
| davit | DarkSotM_: yah | 07:58 |
| Cotowar | however, if you are booting from it, you aren't writing to it as far as I know, so you can use it much longer | 07:59 |
| lee1733 | I am getting this error -> AUDIT: Sun Jan 11 01:35:06 2009: 9558 X: client 4 rejected from local host <- in my X log. Could someone have a look at my xorg.conf and make sure everything is correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103417/ | 07:59 |
| DarkSotM_ | davit: check out pendrivelinux | 07:59 |
| davit | DarkSotM_: will it allow me to istall ubuntu? | 07:59 |
| useruseruseruser | ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggunit | 07:59 |
| nickrud | useruseruseruser, please stop | 07:59 |
| useruseruseruser | nickrud: ok | 08:00 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: one more thing pls. i want to check that you aren't loading the nv driver too. check: lsmod | grep -i nv ... is the just plain "nv" module loaded? | 08:00 |
| Cotowar | also if you wanted to you could try to set up a RAID 5 on it, so you don't lose your crap when a drive finally fails | 08:00 |
| DarkSotM_ | davit: It tells you how to put the cd on a usb drive to test/install whatever and it has it for more then just ubuntu www.pendrivelinux.com | 08:00 |
| Cotowar | honestly though, it is cheaper financially to do it with microSD cards, the real cost comes in labor | 08:01 |
| Cotowar | IDk, it was jsut an idea | 08:01 |
| Cotowar | i might try it with the christmas money I got, but we shall see | 08:01 |
| Knotts | i dont know what im looking at ushimitsudoki http://paste.ubuntu.com/103420/ | 08:01 |
| Cotowar | okay, now for one of my many gripes with ubuntu 8.10 | 08:01 |
| DarkSotM_ | gripe away | 08:02 |
| davit | DarkSotM_: Ok thanks alot | 08:02 |
| corpiss | to much like vista? | 08:02 |
| Cotowar | I cannot install my icon set from 8.04, as it says i need the clearlooks engine to run the icons | 08:02 |
| corpiss | oh wait, that's kde | 08:02 |
| Cotowar | how do i get clearlooks installed? | 08:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: poop I don't see anything obvious there | 08:03 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: gtk2-engines | 08:03 |
| Doonz | How do i force a rescan of my hard disk | 08:03 |
| adam7 | Doonz: unmount the drive and run fdisk /dev/sdx | 08:03 |
| Doonz | like say i just plugged it in to an esata slot | 08:04 |
| DarkSotM_ | my main gripe sofar with ubuntu is I can't get twin working | 08:04 |
| Doonz | how do i make the system rescan for a new drive? | 08:04 |
| Cotowar | adam7: youre saying just do an aptitude install gtk2-engines? | 08:04 |
| adam7 | Doonz: just run fsck /dev/sdx where sdx is the name of the drive | 08:04 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: yep | 08:04 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki its a fresh install aswell, it worked fine untill version 8.04 and 8.10, when i upgraded, i cant get my grafix drivers to work :( | 08:04 |
| Cotowar | 1 sec | 08:04 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: according to apt it includes clearlooks but it should be installed by default | 08:04 |
| Cotowar | oh sir, thank you | 08:05 |
| DarkSotM_ | maybe I'll just go back too gentoo (-; | 08:05 |
| Cotowar | you have made my whole week :D | 08:05 |

| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: have you tried nvidia-xconfig? | 08:06 |
| gerob | no i have crashed my Xerver and not been able to recover it 4 times now | 08:06 |
| michaelyao | what does 'Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)' | 08:06 |

| gerob | Knotts: I havent tried it myself but have you tried Envy? | 08:07 |
| adam7 | !envy | 08:07 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 08:07 |

| adam7 | !envy > Knotts | 08:07 |

| gerob | well I dont have visual effects or 3d capability at the moment | 08:17 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: sorry for the confusion | 08:17 |
| adam7 | Moguri: ok -- don't use the system monitor, because it itself takes like 30% of one core on my AMD system | 08:17 |
| Moguri | adam7: But not both at the same time. I realize the system monitor uses a fair amount of cpu. | 08:18 |
| gerob | adam: well I dont have visual effects or 3d capability at the moment | 08:18 |

| pabloguion | then Consult the make.log in the build directory but it is clean | 08:21 |
| Moguri | adam7: I think it may have been a theme I tried to use or something. Cause, gnome-settings-daemon keeps crashing too :s | 08:21 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: why don't you just use the fgrlx shipped with Ubuntu? | 08:22 |
| gerob | adam7: If I try envyng-qt, is there some way for me do a backup so I dont have to download all the updates again if it crashes? | 08:22 |
| Moguri | adam7: But I can't tell if it was this way before doing things since I just did this install today, and a bunch of other things :s | 08:22 |
| Cotowar | compiling from source is ./configure | make | make install right? | 08:22 |
| Moguri | Cotowar: I think so, yes. | 08:22 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: alrighty then. re-start again and come back again in single mode. right after logging in, try "init 3". If you are getting locking errors, that is better than the first error where nvidia wasn't even loading. I have to go for a little while, so try that and if it doesn't work, prepare a paste bin with the information we already looked at so someone else can easily pick up | 08:23 |
| Cotowar | thought so | 08:23 |
| pabloguion | i need to remake it to use propietary drivers | 08:23 |
| adam7 | gerob: in /var/cache/apt/archives there are a bunch of packages. if you copy them to another disk before you reinstall and then put them back in /var/cache/apt/archives before you update, you won't have to download all hte updates | 08:23 |
| pabloguion | i have an ati radeon 9250 is very problematic | 08:23 |
| Moguri | Cotowar: Well, one at at time ;) | 08:23 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: if you are still around when i get pack i will ping you and see how it went. good luck | 08:23 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: 9250's in Ubuntu is a pain :s | 08:24 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki, thanks alot for ur time. enjoy ur day | 08:24 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: you don't want to pipe the output | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | i know it | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | :D | 08:24 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: do ./configure && make && make install | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | i know how to install 3d support in free drivers | 08:24 |
| gerob | adam7: ok ill stick them on my 8gb usb drive | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | but the performance is not optimal | 08:24 |
| Cotowar | yea, i was just separating the commands | 08:24 |
| adam7 | gerob: that should work | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | so i trying to make running the privative drivers | 08:24 |
| adam7 | Cotowar: ah, got it | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | but i need help in this point | 08:24 |
| pabloguion | from somebody expert in these things | 08:25 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: The proprietary drivers are for like 9600s and above :s | 08:25 |
| pabloguion | no | 08:25 |
| pabloguion | there are for 9250 for other distros | 08:25 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: And the open source drivers as you said don't work all that great for them either. Which puts the 9250 in an annoying spot. | 08:25 |
| jan247 | hi guys, | 08:25 |
| pabloguion | please help me to make this job. i know it works | 08:26 |
| lee1733 | I am getting this error -> AUDIT: Sun Jan 11 01:35:06 2009: 9558 X: client 4 rejected from local host <- in my X log. Could someone have a look at my xorg.conf and make sure everything is correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103417/ | 08:26 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: Are you getting drivers from the AMD site? | 08:27 |
| pabloguion | yes | 08:27 |
| pabloguion | it will not work? sure? | 08:27 |
| DarkSotM_ | lee1733: paste your entire xorg.log | 08:28 |
| gerob | adam7: ok here goes! thanks if I dont make it back right away | 08:28 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: what's wrong with the ones in the Hardware Manager | 08:28 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: Looks like they might work. | 08:28 |
| adam7 | gerob: good luck :) | 08:28 |
| lee1733 | DarkSotM_: One sec. | 08:28 |
| Cotowar | jesspher was trying to install a .deb package....shouldn't gdeb installer handle that automatically? | 08:28 |
| Cotowar | oh, heres one more problem i have... though this one is very complex im assuming | 08:28 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: I know they work, but there is no reason to use them unless you need a newer version than the one Ubuntu ships with | 08:28 |
| Cotowar | im running 8.10 with virtualbox (not the OSE version) and windows xp performance. i have the guest additions and all that jazz, but cannot install games with multiple CD's inside the virtual machine. | 08:28 |
| Cotowar | how do i get that to work? | 08:29 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: Have you looked at the ubuntu forums for instructions on ATI drivers? | 08:29 |
| lee1733 | DarkSotM_: Here is my xorg log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/103434/ | 08:30 |
| Moguri | I know I had to do some fighting to get my x1300 when I had it. | 08:30 |
| gerob | adam7:one more question. when I flag the envyng-qt app for installation ithe Synaptic Manager wants to install a bunch of other files that are KDE is that ok? | 08:30 |
| pabloguion | yes in the spanish forums | 08:30 |
| pabloguion | ubuntu-es | 08:30 |
| Flannel | gerob: Are you using gnome? | 08:30 |
| gerob | Flannel: yes | 08:31 |
| Flannel | gerob: Why not envyng-gtk then? | 08:31 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: So, you've downloaded the driver, right? | 08:31 |
| jesspher | hi guys | 08:31 |
| pabloguion | yes | 08:31 |
| gerob | Flannel: The description says its just a dummy package | 08:31 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: Okay, did you try to run the installer? | 08:31 |
| pabloguion | i did sh ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/intrepid to make the pkg | 08:32 |
| gerob | Flannel: and that its text only | 08:32 |
| sfuentes | anyone know what module is loaded for touchpads? | 08:32 |
| Flannel | gerob: Interesting. Well, you can always use the text version, it should perform the same way. *or* you can just use the qt version yes. And yeah, it'll drag in whatever qt/kde libs it needs to be happy | 08:32 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: Where is the .run saved to? | 08:32 |
| pabloguion | is a .deb | 08:33 |
| gerob | Flannel: Im ok with using the text one .. might have a couple questions on commands though | 08:33 |
| jesspher | hi all again | 08:33 |
| pabloguion | no sorry | 08:33 |
| Cotowar | hey | 08:33 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: I don't remember using a .deb, but have you tried running it? | 08:33 |
| jesspher | how can i format a flash drive using xubuntu? | 08:33 |
| pabloguion | is a .run. it is in /home/pablo (my folder) | 08:33 |
| Moguri | pabloguion: So first you might want to rename the file to something like ati.run and try "sudo ~/ati.run" | 08:34 |
| adam7 | Moguri: pabloguion hold on one second | 08:34 |
| pabloguion | ok i hold :) | 08:35 |
| Moguri | Oops, guess I'm doing something stupid again :D | 08:35 |
| jesspher | how do you fofrmat a flash drive in xubuntu? | 08:35 |
| gerob | Flannel: I installed the -gtk version ... now where do I find it? lol | 08:35 |
| Cotowar | jess: it should be like sudo rm -rf dev/sdb1, but don't go doing that until someone confirms it, because that will erase sdb1 i believe | 08:35 |
| Moguri | jesspher: In Ubuntu I use gParted. | 08:35 |
| jesspher | ok | 08:35 |
| === LogicHoleFlaw_ is now known as LogicHoleFlaw | ||
| adam7 | pabloguion (and Moguri) -- if you really need to use the ATI .run file, use the instructions http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide there | 08:35 |
| jesspher | i will look for gparted | 08:35 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: under the installing the restricted drivers manually part | 08:36 |
| Cotowar | gParted is a good one, disregard what i said above | 08:36 |
| Cotowar | i misunderstood | 08:36 |
| jesspher | do i need to install that? | 08:36 |
| Moguri | jesspher: Probably. | 08:36 |
| pabloguion | thank you adam7 :D | 08:36 |
| Cotowar | gParted can be found via System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager | 08:36 |
| Cotowar | just type it in the box up top, and check the correct one on the list | 08:37 |
| Moguri | Cotowar: The menus are different in Xubuntu. | 08:37 |
| pabloguion | i will translate it to spanish | 08:37 |
| Cotowar | oh right | 08:37 |
| pabloguion | lots of people are looking for this | 08:37 |
| Cotowar | Xfce | 08:37 |
| Cotowar | my bad | 08:37 |
| Moguri | Cotowar: But similar enough ;) | 08:37 |
| gerob | Where do I find EnvyNG-gtk? | 08:37 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: better make sure it works first ;) | 08:37 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: I've never had any trouble with it though | 08:37 |
| gerob | On my system | 08:37 |
| Cotowar | my only experience with xfce is with my gentoo live cd, and i can't do anything | 08:37 |
| adam7 | gerob: in the package manager | 08:38 |
| Cotowar | its fast though... | 08:38 |
| riz0n | In Ubuntu, is it neccessary to upgrade Apache to 2.2.11? | 08:38 |
| adam7 | riz0n: not unless it comes in as an update | 08:38 |
| Cotowar | how do i get john the ripper to test my login password? | 08:38 |
| riz0n | Or is it safe to leave it at the 2.2.8 that is currently loaded in Ubuntu | 08:38 |
| gerob | adam7: after i already installed it? | 08:39 |
| adam7 | riz0n: apache will get all necessary security updates, so you just need to stay updated and there should be no problems | 08:39 |
| riz0n | adam7: thanks, update manager hasn't alerted me of an update for it... but noticed on Apache.org that an update was available. | 08:39 |
| adam7 | gerob: try running envyng-gtk or something in a temrinal | 08:39 |
| pabloguion | the wiki says: (This may fail due to a missing dpmk. If so install this first) | 08:39 |
| pabloguion | so i need how to install the pkg with dpmk | 08:39 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms | 08:39 |
| Cotowar | is there an application that can rip the DRM off of DVD's so I can save them on my external and play on my media center? | 08:40 |
| pabloguion | i read man but i have some questions | 08:40 |
| pabloguion | adam7 0 actualizados, 0 se instalarán, 0 para eliminar y 8 no actualizados. (i have all) | 08:41 |
| gerob | adam7: in root? | 08:41 |
| adam7 | pabloguion: then you should be all set | 08:41 |
| adam7 | gerob: probably | 08:41 |
| Look4Help | Hi there | 08:41 |
| Look4Help | anyone about | 08:41 |
| pabloguion | the wiki says it | 08:41 |
| gerob | adam7: sorry what would the command be? | 08:42 |
| adam7 | !libdvdcss | Cotowar | 08:42 |
| ubottu | Cotowar: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 08:42 |
| Look4Help | I was woundering... everyone has been telling me ubuntu is a great Os.. so i thought i would try it out... is there a non destgructive way i can install it? with out removeing windows vista from my laptop so i can test it? | 08:42 |
| Look4Help | Like mabey instaklling it on a bootable DVD or a USB stick? | 08:42 |
| Firefishe | Look4Help: It's a live CD | 08:42 |
| adam7 | gerob: gksudo envyng-gtk -- also I think there should be a menu button in System -> Admin | 08:42 |
| Cotowar | thanks. gonna go read that...brb | 08:43 |
| riz0n | Look4Help: You can download and burn the ISO to a CD and run it in a LiveCD environment, which actually allows you to run it without installing it to your hard disk. | 08:43 |
| gerob | adam7: I looked for the menu button but for some reson it idnt install one | 08:43 |
| adam7 | Look4Help: just download the ISO, burn it, and reboot -- you'll be able to test it with no effect on your system | 08:43 |
| Look4Help | Thanks guys that is great to hear... | 08:43 |
| sfuentes | is there a command line app to see battery info? | 08:44 |
| riz0n | Look4Help: If you choose to install it, however, you will more than likely have to repartition your hard drive and reinstall Vista as well, unless you add a second hard drive to your PC exclusively for Ubuntu. | 08:44 |
| olegb | sfuentes: acpi(1) | 08:45 |
| Look4Help | normal windows apps will not run in it will they? | 08:45 |
| gerob | adam7: I got an error can i send you the output? | 08:45 |
| DarkSotM_ | loo4help: sorry nope | 08:45 |
| sfuentes | olegb: thanks man | 08:46 |
| PolitikerNEU | Look4Help: You can, however, try to use them with wine | 08:46 |
| olegb | sfuentes: np =) | 08:46 |
| Look4Help | so you can install a DUEL BOOT system, but i would need to install Ubuntu and then on a 2nd partition install vista again? | 08:46 |
| DarkSotM_ | look4help: It does have it's own programs that can usally do the same thing | 08:46 |
| Look4Help | Ok thanks guys.... so what is Kbuntu and Xbuntu ? | 08:47 |
| Moguri | Look4Help: Kubuntu uses KDE instead of Gnome, and Xubuntu uses Xfce. | 08:48 |
| PolitikerNEU | Kubuntu is ubuntu with KDE, Xubuntu ist ubuntu with XFCE, both are Desktop Environments | 08:48 |
| DarkSotM_ | look4help: they are the same basic thing just with a diffrent style desktop | 08:48 |
| Look4Help | ok guys thansk again you are being very clear. | 08:49 |
| sfuentes | should mention xfce is more light on resource usage | 08:49 |
| Look4Help | sfuentes: really... the reason i am thinkiong of this is that i have a older laptop and a mate is advising me to install unbuntu as he thinks this will make it seam liek a new computer as it will run so much faster and stuff | 08:50 |
| ashvala | Hello | 08:50 |
| Look4Help | so Xunbuntu might be the best options for performence? | 08:50 |
| ashvala | my make is giving me some error | 08:50 |
| ashvala | make TARGET_ARCH=x86 TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701 DISABLE_DEXPREOPT=TRUE | 08:50 |

| Markoso | does ubuntu see linksys wifi cards? | 08:54 |
| juwita | eth0 not detected | 08:54 |
| sfuentes | i think linux could really use google chrome ... firefox is heavy | 08:54 |
| Markoso | chrome rocks | 08:54 |
| orkun | hey i guess intrepid uses qt4 :> where does the new cairo-like bar in the middle come from? | 08:54 |
| ashvala | chrome kicks my heart out | 08:55 |
| orkun | aaaah vlc | 08:55 |
| jim_p | sfuentes, does it have a native linux version? | 08:55 |
| orkun | i meant sry ^^ | 08:55 |
| Markoso | so fast | 08:55 |
| sfuentes | jim_p: nope ... there's a wine version, but it sucks | 08:55 |
| Markoso | is chrome open source lol | 08:55 |
| Moguri | There's Chromium | 08:55 |
| jim_p | sfuentes, then its up to no use. i prefer opera when it comes to lightweight browsers | 08:55 |
| Moguri | Or something like that. | 08:55 |
| Markoso | dillo lol | 08:56 |
| sfuentes | chromium will eventually make it to linux ... but who knows how long that will take | 08:57 |
| Nagar | pls suggest a goov svn | 08:57 |
| Markoso | 80% more til ubuntu heaven | 08:57 |
| jim_p | 80%? | 08:57 |
| Markoso | downloading | 08:57 |
| sfuentes | linux mint is kind of nice too | 08:57 |
| gerob | Has anyone here successfully installed a nVidia GeForce 8600 GT on Intrepid 32 bit? | 08:57 |
| Moguri | gerob: I've gotten a 8600m GT working in Intrepid 64 bit. | 08:58 |
| Moguri | And I'm going to try 32 bit, so I'll know in like half an hour or so. | 08:58 |
| gerob | thanks but I have a feeling the issue is with the 32 bit OS | 08:59 |
| orkun | even for an chrome-enthusiast like me, chrome gets eaten alive by its lack of addon support. google missed adding that alongside with a mac/linux client. hope it'll come the next months :> | 08:59 |
| Tm_T | gerob: what issue? don't ask to ask, just ask | 08:59 |
| jim_p | gerob, how did you install the drivers? | 08:59 |
| gerob | Tm_T: Xserver crashes after driver install and reboot | 09:00 |
| Tm_T | orkun: FYI, there's also #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:00 |
| sfuentes | orkun: google is adding grease monkey scripting support to chrome | 09:00 |
| Tm_T | gerob: driver version and how it is installed | 09:00 |
| gerob | Tm_T, jim_p: I have installed it through Hardwarre Manager, Package Manager, manually | 09:00 |
| gerob | version 177 or 180 I have tried them both | 09:01 |
| sfuentes | orkun: and they could have waited another 3 years to release it until they had addons, but i'm glad they didn't | 09:01 |
| gerob | Tm_T, jim_p: I have had to reinstall Intrepid 4 times now as I couldn't recover my Xserver | 09:02 |
| jim_p | gerob, can you identify what package it installed? | 09:02 |
| gerob | Tm_T, jim_p: I am pretty new to Linux though... | 09:03 |
| nsadmin | gerob: to get a real taste, start learning the command line shell | 09:03 |
| sfuentes | gerob: hang in there buddy ... the hazing is worthwhile :) | 09:04 |
| orkun | sfuentes: unfortunately they could have just replaced the few and depressing options we have to surf the net with that monster. i am afraid any sort of revolution will take years now | 09:04 |
| gerob | jim_p nvidia-177-kernel-source | 09:04 |
| gerob | I am very dedicated to learning Linux | 09:04 |
| jim_p | gerob, :| source? it made the module by itself? | 09:04 |
| jim_p | !info nvidia-glx | 09:05 |
| ubottu | Package nvidia-glx does not exist in intrepid | 09:05 |
| gerob | jim_p the only other one I found to install was the -dev package | 09:05 |

| protocol1 | I have my ubuntu 8.10 install on my 4gb usb flash drive is it safe to use swap on it? | 09:11 |
| sfuentes | gavi: well like johnny mentioned ... something like: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE COLUMNX=FOOVALUE | 09:11 |
| jim_p | gerob, you cant use sudo witg that command | 09:11 |
| jim_p | gerob, there is no sudo X -something | 09:11 |
| gavi | sfuentes, thanks.. thats not what i wanted but thanks anyways | 09:12 |
| gerob | jim_p: I see, so it would be a different command then? | 09:12 |
| jim_p | gerob, its something like sudo -i or similar. just a parameter of sudo that makes all the commands from there on run as if they had sudo in front | 09:13 |
| protocol1 | is there a command I can use to disable my swap or a way to disable it with the GUI? | 09:13 |
| johnnymo1218 | gavi: if you are looping thru a result set then you could use foreach(x) as y | 09:13 |

| litong | Can somebody help mi with compiz??? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103449/ | 09:14 |
| sfuentes | gavi: keep in mind that you should avoid sql queries/updates inside a loop ... typically u build your queries in the loop and execute them outside the loop to avoid net roundtrips and db efficiency | 09:14 |
| gavi | sfuentes, thanks | 09:14 |
| jim_p | gerob, i cant find it | 09:14 |
| sfuentes | gavi: np. not sure if that's what u were asking for, but its a handy tip in general | 09:15 |
| jim_p | gerob, try sudo -i | 09:15 |

| jsfoxton | jim_p i dont think so. Is that an additional package? | 09:23 |
| crdlb | jim_p: due to changes in mesa, that always says yes now | 09:23 |
| kizedek | does anyone know of a good subversion server setup tutorial? | 09:24 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, it comes preinstalled with ubuntu 8.04+. what version are you on? | 09:24 |
| crdlb | litong: because compiz does not equal cube; ubuntu's default configuration does not use the cube plugin | 09:24 |
| JPSman | I am getting a $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) | 09:24 |
| jim_p | kizedek, give me a sec | 09:24 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p 8.10 | 09:24 |
| gerob | jim_p: I will try ...just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace right? | 09:24 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, and on a mac? are you sure? | 09:24 |
| JPSman | I can't seem to access my windows partition anymore | 09:24 |
| jim_p | gerob, yea | 09:24 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, uname -r | 09:25 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p yes i'm sure i'm on a mac | 09:25 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, uname -r | 09:25 |
| litong | CRDLB som I nedd to download it and that's ti? no erors? | 09:25 |
| thxpnp^out | hi everyone=) | 09:25 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p is that a terminal command? | 09:25 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, yea lol | 09:25 |
| unop | JPSman, best thing to do is boot up into windows *twice* and let windows do a checkdisk on that volume | 09:25 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p i said i was a noob :) | 09:25 |
| crdlb | litong: all you need to do is install simple-ccsm and switch to the cube | 09:26 |
| JPSman | unop - so restart into windows, then again, then run a checkdisk on my c drive? | 09:26 |
| litong | ok thank you:) | 09:26 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p it came back with 2.6.27-9-generic | 09:26 |
| unop | JPSman, right, if C: is the volume that mount is complaining about, yea | 09:26 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, does that mac use an intel cpu? | 09:26 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p yes | 09:27 |
| jim_p | ok we move forward then | 09:27 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, lspci | grep VGA | 09:27 |
| protocol1 | is it ok to just run ubuntu 8.10 off a usb 4GB flash drive? | 09:27 |
| JPSman | unop - no other. I think I may have a virus on it though, and I come to linux to scan it from here, so...ill try, thank you :OD | 09:27 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, do you have desktop effects enabled? | 09:27 |
| Nagar | are there any reported virus attack on ubuntu | 09:27 |
| kizedek | jim_p, manage to find it? | 09:27 |
| jim_p | protocol1, yes, as soon as you dont use swap in that drive | 09:27 |
| protocol1 | jim_p, there a way I can disable swap? | 09:28 |
| unop | JPSman, there are ways to clean this error on linux - but they're not foolproof - so if you care about data on this volume, it's best to have windows take care of it - and you could do this in safe mode too | 09:28 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Tech Inc M56p [Radeon Mobility X1600] | 09:28 |
| jim_p | protocol1, do not install a swap partition in there | 09:28 |
| JPSman | unop - cool, thank you again :OD | 09:28 |
| JPSman | L8Rz | 09:28 |
| jim_p | kizedek, still searching | 09:28 |
| protocol1 | jim_p, I did | 09:28 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: any luck?/ | 09:29 |
| jim_p | protocol1, then you are fine | 09:29 |
| protocol1 | there a way I can disable or remove it? | 09:29 |
| jim_p | !svn | 09:29 |
| ubottu | svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ | 09:29 |
| kizedek | jim_p, thanks :) | 09:29 |
| unop | protocol1, sudo swapoff -a | 09:29 |
| protocol1 | sweet | 09:29 |
| protocol1 | thx | 09:29 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: nope :( had to do that Xfix again tho. | 09:29 |
| kizedek | what do i need to be able to run: sudo apache2-ssl-certificate | 09:30 |
| kizedek | i get command not found | 09:30 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p does that mean i need to be using another video driver? | 09:30 |
| VoodooDance | Howdy all... I have fubared my video drivers by doing a manuel install of nvidia drivers... and need help fixing it.. | 09:30 |
| protocol1 | unop, will that keep it off even after a reboot? | 09:30 |
| JC_Denton_ | Can I insert an image into a DIA project ? | 09:31 |
| unop | protocol1, no - you'll have to comment out the swap entry in /etc/fstab for that | 09:31 |
| unop | kizedek, that command does not exist in any ubuntu package | 09:31 |
| CAiRO_ | hi | 09:32 |
| kizedek | unop, oh i was following an ubuntu svn tutorial | 09:32 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: any other suggestions? lol | 09:32 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.cong and /var/log/Xorg.0.log one more time? I will look at it once more | 09:32 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, what driver do you use now? and do you use desktop effects? | 09:32 |
| VoodooDance | The error I am getting is "API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 169.12, but this NVIDIA driver compnent has version 180.22" How do I fix this. | 09:32 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: xorg.conf | 09:32 |
| CAiRO_ | can i somehow get a similar dir like /etc/profile.d for non-login-shells and /etc/bash.bashrc? | 09:32 |
| unop | kizedek, what are you trying to do? create an ssl certificate? | 09:32 |
| CAiRO_ | i have the problem that non of the files in /etc/profile.d is sourced when i open a terminal in gnome | 09:32 |
| protocol1 | unop, im looking at /etc/fstab with gedit as we speak....there anything I should do to this? | 09:33 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: k 2 seconds | 09:33 |
| litong | its working properly thnak you :-D | 09:33 |
| kizedek | unop, i think so, it was for subversion server repo over apache | 09:33 |
| unop | protocol1, yea, comment out the swap entry | 09:33 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, to help you lspci -k and look for your vga card in that mess. it states the driver used underneath | 09:33 |
| unop | kizedek, maybe this then? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#selfcert | 09:33 |
| jim_p | like mine | 09:33 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p no idea on driver and no desktop effects as far as i know | 09:33 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: /etc/X11/xorg.cong or xorg.conf? | 09:33 |
| jim_p | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV670PRO [Radeon HD 3850] | 09:33 |
| jim_p | Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci | 09:33 |
| jim_p | Kernel modules: fglrx | 09:33 |
| kizedek | unop, thanks, will have a look | 09:33 |
| protocol1 | unop, comment it out with // ? | 09:33 |
| unop | protocol1, no, a # at the beginning of the line | 09:34 |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest22155 | ||
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: xorg.conf - hands are too cold to type good right now :) | 09:34 |
| protocol1 | like this #/dev/scd0 ? | 09:34 |
| unop | protocol1, but why are you disabling swap like this anyway? any particular reason? | 09:34 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, dp your windows have shadows underneath or shake when they are moved? | 09:34 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p it says kernal driver is fglrx_pci | 09:34 |
| protocol1 | unop, im running my ubuntu OS off a 4gb usb flash drive | 09:35 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki, u want the whole /var/log/Xorg.0.log??? | 09:35 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p no | 09:35 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, ??? | 09:35 |
| protocol1 | unop, I heard it was'nt good to use swap with this setup | 09:35 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: pls | 09:35 |
| unop | protocol1, ahh ok, that makes sense - but in my opinion, it's better to keep the swap volume but adjust the kernel swapiness instead (that way you have a swap partition for when it's needed) | 09:35 |
| protocol1 | so I should be good the way it is? | 09:36 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p if i move a window its very smooth | 09:36 |
| protocol1 | or just comment it out anyways? | 09:36 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, does it have shadows underneath? | 09:36 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p yes | 09:36 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki, lol can u gimie that postbin thing again please? | 09:37 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, then you do use compiz (desktop effects). when viewing a video, temporarly disable compiz | 09:37 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: pastebin.com is fine (there are lots of pastebin services) | 09:37 |
| Knotts | okey | 09:37 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p how do i do that? | 09:38 |
| unop | protocol1, i would keep it and adjust the swapiness - see the section on "Reduce Swapiness" here - http://lifehacker.com/software/linux/make-your-linux-system-leaner-with-10-tweaks-333798.php | 09:38 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, at a terminal metacity --replace | 09:38 |
| unop | protocol1, note tho that you should have sufficient RAM inorder for this to work properly or your system could start to be a drag. | 09:38 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, plus, try some other video output in your player like gl or gl2. its a bit more cpu intense but it does not flicker | 09:39 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p and that will temp disable? How do I get it back if I want it? | 09:39 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, compiz --replace | 09:39 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: i feel foolish. but how can i select all on terminal. if i go page by page its gunna take a while to copy/past it | 09:39 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p are those comands in terminal too? gl gl2? | 09:39 |
| unop | Knotts, best to use script - so that all output is sent to a text file | 09:40 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: no no you have 2 options to make it easier. 1. you can redirect to a .txt file like : cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > filename.txt | 09:40 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: or two, you can install the pastebinit package | 09:40 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, no, these are video outputs in your player preferences/options. i can only tell you where they are in mplayer :( | 09:40 |
| Knotts | lol, ill try the .txt thing. | 09:40 |
| AnCh0vY- | can someone help me i newly installed ubuntu and im getting no sound | 09:42 |

| ushimitsudoki | confirm | 09:46 |
| gizmo | jim_p, i already said it is built in | 09:46 |
| schmoko | i find a lot of issues in launchpad for resume failing, but resume is not failing. system is back up, but system is very slow. top does not show any processes using excess cpu | 09:47 |

| EnginA | i mean a package name for it :) | 09:48 |

| coj | quick question: amarok crashed and i force-quitted it earlier. now it doesn't seem to run when i try running it. is there a way i can terminate the process or something? | 09:51 |
| eweb100 | everyone, how do i automount | 09:51 |
| naught101 | is there a publicly available version of ubuntu's aims/goals? | 09:51 |
| AJ_Z0 | Having just re-installed my laptop from the Alternative CD to use full disk encryption, I am again frustrated how easy it is to get everything working in Ubuntu, especially since most things work out of the box | 09:51 |
| AJ_Z0 | I want my money back | 09:51 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: no not screwed, i just don't remember how to force X to skip vesa. ... that's what I'm googling right now. I know you have to specify "nvidia" as the Driver in xorg.conf, but there are some other things too, IIRC | 09:51 |
| naught101 | coj: killall amarok from the command line | 09:51 |
| coj | eweb: your etc/fstab file | 09:51 |
| coj | naught: thanks, appreciate it | 09:51 |
| johnbstroud | you can automount with a startup script. | 09:51 |

| AnCh0vY- | i need help im getting no sound ? | 09:52 |
| johnbstroud | :^) active chat today. | 09:53 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: first thing to try. make this small change in xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d11feea07 line 23 is the only addition | 09:53 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: ok i open it like normal. and change it to nvidia and close? | 09:54 |
| coj | naught101, funny, it still doesn't start. is there anything more...powerful i can try? | 09:54 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: use "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 09:54 |
| naught101 | coj, run it from the commandline, and it'll probably tell you why it's not running... | 09:55 |
| coj | naught101, it just goes to the next line and outputs nothing | 09:55 |
| coj | as in, it doesn't return me to the terminal prompt | 09:56 |
| naught101 | coj: run "ps -e | grep amarok" to see if it's running | 09:56 |
| coj | (i just yped "amarok") | 09:56 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki, i thought i was changing the other one, this looks nothing like that other one. | 09:56 |
| naught101 | yeah, it shouldn't, unless it's died | 09:56 |
| litong | I need help with sounds, after I am loggin in sounds like -maximizime window, button clicking and warnigs not working. | 09:56 |
| coj | amarokapp and amarok are running, i | 09:56 |
| coj | i'll try killing both | 09:56 |
| AJ_Z0 | AnCh0vY-: Try turning all the dials up: alsamixer for the pulseaudio "card", gnome-volume-manager for master, pcm, etc. then test with System > Preferences > Sound | 09:57 |

| eweb100 | everyone, I want to automount this (/dev/sda1 * 1 10395 83497806 7 HPFS/NTFS | 09:58 |

| naught101 | no worries | 09:58 |

| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: I thought you might be IRCing from a 2nd machine or something ... no problem | 10:06 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: ok, so if it freezes again when i log out. should i fix x and come back here? or try something diff? | 10:07 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: if i still doesn't work after this. I would get the new drivers from nvidia and install manually according to this guide: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 | 10:08 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: if that is too intimidating, you can try envyng | 10:08 |
| jbbarnes | Need help with vnc access, please. I have vnc running and can connect to my Ubuntu box only from the same subnet, not from the internet. I have NAT set right on my router. There must be a config file somewhere in /etc that tells it only to allow connections from the same subnet, right? | 10:08 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: if you do install the new drivers manually, you will have to re-install everytime the kernel is updated. it's not hard, but it's something to keep in mind | 10:09 |
| bsdnux | why is neither libapache2-mod-ifier nor libapache2-mod-security in the repos anymore (hardy)? | 10:09 |

| unop | bsdnux, there's probably some valid reason for their exclusion -- incompatibility with new apache, no new developments or maintainance, etc -- i'm sure if you scour the web you'll fiind package maintainer notices for debian/ubuntu | 10:15 |

| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: sorry to hear that. Give envyng or manual install a try. I can't see the problem :( | 10:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | rkirk: let me check | 10:17 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: It's rather good. | 10:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | kamefu its not there in synaptic | 10:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | ok got it | 10:17 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: can u link it to me with the bot again please? | 10:17 |
| ushimitsudoki | !envyng | Knotts | 10:18 |
| ubottu | Knotts: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 10:18 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: If you've already got KDE, I don't think you'll have a lot to load (dependencies and such). | 10:18 |

| silv3r_m00n | i remember using 1 which i installed from synaptic | 10:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | it was good | 10:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | but cant remember its name | 10:22 |
| jim_p | Illusion, what is ebox? | 10:23 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: yup - openssh is prety darn secure :) | 10:23 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: maybe mednafen? | 10:23 |

| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: what would you like to happen? | 10:24 |
| jim_p | Illusion, does it exist in the repos? | 10:24 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | I dont want the option to boot Ubuntu or XP | 10:24 |
| Illusion | jim_p: ive added it in sources.list | 10:24 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: that, or fceu. But I've never used fceu. | 10:24 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm | 10:24 |
| silv3r_m00n | let me try | 10:24 |
| Illusion | jim_p: The errors are here ---> http://pastebin.com/d58e2679f | 10:25 |
| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: okay, you need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for that | 10:25 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | where is this? | 10:25 |
| DonnieB | hi | 10:25 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: zsnes is in the Ubuntu repositories as well. | 10:25 |
| DonnieB | can anyone help me with squid gateway problem on linux | 10:25 |
| simplenewb | _Cid: Yay! is there anything obvious I need to be aware of? I'm a "newb". I've changed my port number, disabled root login, disabled password based logins, setup RSA key, shortened the login grace period the lowest amount I can still connect in. Anything I missed? The public key goes on the server and the private key on the client right? | 10:25 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm | 10:25 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: I actually didn't know that until now. | 10:25 |
| DonnieB | after power failiure its not working | 10:26 |
| silv3r_m00n | rkirk: let me check | 10:26 |
| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:26 |
| rkirk | There should be a website where these emulator-type things are reviewed. | 10:26 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: hehe ..dewd, I run a 'secure' server ...and you already done more than me ;-) | 10:26 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: another failure, envyng did the same thing, black screen when xserv starts. so i give up. | 10:26 |
| rkirk | For that geeky nostalgia. | 10:26 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | but I cant boot Ubuntu correctly | 10:26 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | when I try to do that | 10:26 |
| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: erm well what are you changing? | 10:26 |
| jim_p | Illusion, do you have the universe repos enabled? | 10:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: one more thing to try before giving up...manual installation | 10:26 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | some black screem comes up | 10:27 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | with some initrd | 10:27 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | or such thing | 10:27 |
| Illusion | jim_p: i will have a look again to be sure | 10:27 |
| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: you should uncomment the hiddenmenu option | 10:27 |
| simplenewb | _Cid: lol ok just making sure. I'm paranoid about security and my data. | 10:27 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: I guess the only thing left to do it keep up to date on security updates .... shouldnt happen ...but there was a bug in ssh (debian, which is what we use in Ubuntu) discovered recently :/ .... | 10:27 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: i dont understand why it would freeze on logout tho, i could understand on bootup if there was an error. but this is a fresh install. | 10:27 |
| DonnieB | can anyone help me troublshoot prblm in linux | 10:27 |
| DonnieB | my squid is down | 10:27 |
| DonnieB | or not working properly | 10:27 |
| DonnieB | i think ip tables perhaps | 10:27 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | But what do I do to get to /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 10:28 |
| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: and change the timeout to 1 | 10:28 |
| Illusion | jim_p: doesnt look like it | 10:28 |
| coj | brasero still seems to be bugged | 10:28 |
| ziroday | Ubuntu_Confused: in a terminal type in gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:28 |
| simplenewb | _Cid: Since I run a personal machine and updates aren't as "dangerous" to me I install them daily if they show up. I check manually all the time. | 10:28 |
| jim_p | Illusion, enable them then | 10:28 |
| coj | it can't detect my CD-Rs as empty :((( | 10:28 |
| coj | and i just wasted 30mins assembling files for it | 10:28 |
| coj | auuughhh | 10:28 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: you should be good then :-) sounds like a nice secure box, can I get an account? ;-) | 10:28 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | let me try | 10:29 |
| Ubuntu_Confused | brb | 10:29 |
| coj | can someone recommend a better CD burning software? | 10:29 |
| Illusion | jim_p: i dont have that line to enable it | 10:29 |
| ziroday | coj: you can try K3b | 10:29 |
| coj | getting that | 10:29 |
| mattycoze | anyone got a USB GPS receiver to work with Ubuntu? | 10:29 |
| coj | thanks | 10:29 |
| ziroday | coj: and gnome-baker | 10:29 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: I don't know I can't figure it. I think the problem is that X is still using the VESA driver, but I don't see why. The only thing I can think of is: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 . It's frustrating I know | 10:29 |
| coj | k3b is kde i understand...any real difference in capabilities? | 10:30 |
| coj | k3b | 10:30 |
| balrog__ | i cant get the latest version of wine to compile (im doing it to hack on wine a bit, not to install wine) and ./configure keeps giving me "configure: libgnutls development files not found, no schannel support." how do i correct this? | 10:30 |
| rkirk | silv3r_m00n: I found this in the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010788 | 10:30 |
| simplenewb | _Cid: Sure, accounts for all! ;) Is there a way to obfuscate the ssh version string so it's not exposed? I don't want to compile from scratch and that's the only way I know to do it. | 10:30 |
| ziroday | coj: k3b is more advanced then brasero and has more features, however it is not as simple to use | 10:30 |
| flipflop | hi, I can't get my Dell laptop microphone to work | 10:30 |
| ziroday | balrog__: have you installed the build-essentials package? | 10:30 |
| coj | how about gnome-baker? | 10:30 |
| flipflop | what do I do | 10:30 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: im just glad to have had someone try to help. but honestly this looks like greek to me. :( | 10:30 |
| ziroday | coj: gnome-baker is very similar to brasero | 10:31 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: well...you could only allow ssh to reply to requests coming from a certain IP range ..I guess (I travel, so I hate those servers ;-) ) | 10:31 |
| Illusion | jim_p: --> http://pastebin.com/d6ea10b9 | 10:32 |
| coj | ziroday: ok then, k3b it is. thanks :) | 10:32 |
| DonnB | ziroday: can u pls help me with diagnosing my gateway running squid...after power failiure its not loading up any internet...unable to ping | 10:32 |
| balrog__ | ziroday: aptitude searches for it but it cant find it...very very weird... | 10:32 |
| adaptr | simplenewb: you do NOT want to mess with the SSH version string | 10:32 |
| ziroday | DonnB: nope sorry, I know nothing about squid and am not very good with iptables | 10:32 |
| adaptr | balrog__: use apt-cache instead | 10:32 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: also, sshd could run in a restricted sandbox - so even if someone DID get in, they woulnd't get to your data <shrug> | 10:32 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: ah it's worth a try. Grab the latest driver from here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1897256 and then follow the instructions. It's worth a shot before giving up maybe. I know back when i first installed nvidia drivers it was hard, but once i got them working it wasn't hard keeping them updated | 10:32 |
| jsfoxton | hi jim_p I tried that metacity --replace and it messed up linux didnt work properly but did play the video files flawlessly...is there any other work arounds? gl gl2? | 10:32 |
| ziroday | balrog__: try do sudo apt-get install build-essential | 10:32 |
| simplenewb | _Cid: Yea I can't really restrict the IP range I travel too | 10:32 |
| balrog__ | ziroday: wait, the package is build-essential | 10:32 |
| jim_p | Illusion, dude you are on dapper! | 10:32 |
| balrog__ | ziroday: not plural... | 10:32 |
| jim_p | jsfoxton, messed as in? | 10:32 |
| Illusion | sec jim_p | 10:33 |
| ziroday | balrog__: yes build-essential, sorry I put an s on by mistake :) | 10:33 |
| balrog__ | ziroday: no worries mate. and yes, i have that package installed. | 10:33 |
| ziroday | balrog__: okay, do you have all of wine's dependencies installed? | 10:33 |
| jsfoxton | jim_p no tool bar at the top of windows...terminal didnt work properly couldnt write anything in it for a while that kind of thing | 10:33 |
| simplenewb | adaptr: Any particular reason? If I still able to connect what does it harm? Just curious, not being argumentative. | 10:33 |
| Illusion | jim_p: ---> http://pastebin.com/d23b8f442 | 10:33 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: ok i will try, ive started it but i gadda reboot again. ill probly stop by after i finish it all and if ur here ill tell u if it worked or not. thanks again man. | 10:33 |
| ziroday | balrog__: by doing something similar to sudo apt-get build-dep wine? | 10:33 |
| adaptr | simplenewb: because the SSH *client* uses that version string to determine how to connect | 10:34 |
| ushimitsudoki | Knotts: alright good luck! | 10:34 |
| mb | any one that can help with NetworkManager? | 10:34 |
| adaptr | simplenewb: it's mandatory | 10:34 |
| balrog__ | ziroday: "E: Build-dependencies for wine could not be satisfied." | 10:34 |
| _Cid | simplenewb: hehe..I guess one could set up a system where one would have to pre-authorize ... somehow ..... like ..get a code from port 80 thats only valid for 2 mins kinda thing :P I woulnd't even know how to start doing that | 10:34 |
| adaptr | _Cid: simple, use port knocking | 10:34 |
| Knotts | ushimitsudoki: thanks. | 10:34 |

| jim_p | jsfoxton, i have never used any of them. look in their options. it must be under video or something | 10:40 |
| adaptr | there is nothing in plain over SSH, including password challenges | 10:40 |

| nsadmin | shepherd: there's no porn in ubuntu, therefore porn is also off topic | 10:40 |

| SiDi | Tapout, i don't think it's related to GDM if you have it when already on the system | 11:53 |
| SiDi | Tapout, gdm is the login screen at startup | 11:53 |
| user_ | crazyryan: you can check the account user privileges by selecting the user (which is called admin in your system) and then properties | 11:54 |
| SiDi | Tapout, is it similar to this : http://ubuntuforu1ms.org/showthread.php?t=454893 ? | 11:54 |
| sky_1 | how i can try fluxbox under Ubuntu ? x) | 11:54 |
| SiDi | sky_1, "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" | 11:54 |
| SiDi | and select it amongst available sessions when you're logging under GDM | 11:54 |
| sky_1 | and how i can swith then between desktop environments ? | 11:55 |

| beli | SiDi: thanks | 12:03 |
| SiDi | Tapout, it seems it's a common mandriva bug :P | 12:03 |
| Tapout | where do you see that sidi? | 12:04 |
| SiDi | Tapout, on their french wiki they say you shall change boot options to avoid those freezes (and btw when it crashes, go to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login, and type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" to avoid full reboot) | 12:04 |
| SiDi | http://wiki.mandriva.com/fr/Mandriva_Linux_2009_Errata | 12:04 |
| SiDi | Tapout, it's in french though. YOu need to replace the default boot options by "linux-nonfb" in grub's boot menu, if i understood well. As this iis a mandriva wiki i can't tell you exactly how to do for ubuntu ;P | 12:05 |
| Tapout | i'll search google for; ubuntu linux-nonfb | 12:05 |

| oCean_ | gogaz: not sure what you're actually looking for, but start looking in /var/log directory | 12:10 |
| oCean_ | gogaz: other programs might have their 'own' logfile (-location) which would be specified in specific configurationfiles (which most likely can be found in the /etc directory) | 12:11 |

| oCean_ | gogaz: well, if they're not generating logs, by default there won't be any evidence that they ran. | 12:15 |

| MOUD | adam7: not really, just tried it and posted directly on the channel, my bad | 12:47 |
| jrib | Ax-Ax: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/NTP.html is probably what you really want | 12:47 |
| adam7 | MOUD: you are much more likey to get WOW working from looking at that website then asking in here | 12:48 |
| adam7 | MOUD: and if that fails, Wine has an IRC channel somewhere filled with Wine experts | 12:48 |
| MOUD | adam7: yes, I'm looking at the website right now | 12:48 |

| SmokeyD | beli: and I wrote a script that alerts me on google talk of snort alerts | 12:50 |
| SmokeyD | so I won't let go of that combination | 12:50 |
| nandayo | <ubottu> : in fact it seems to be a little more complicated. The chipset of my integrated soundcard seems to not be supported yet by alsa (it is not in the official list) | 12:50 |

| danboid | Mickmeister: INstall ntfs-config, which makes mounting NTFS partitions super simple | 12:56 |
| jrib | bony: don't know then. Try the mailman mailing list | 12:56 |
| Buzzerastop | hello, i'm connecting a mobile phone via usb, and udev loads cdc_acm module. I don't want this to happen. How can I tell udev or hal to not load any module? | 12:56 |
| danboid | Mickmeister: If your windows drive is NTFS, which i presume it will be as FAT32 drives are well supported by vanilla ubuntu | 12:57 |
| danboid | Ubuntu should come with ntfs-config as standard as its only tiny | 12:57 |
| ubuntu1 | im running ubuntu 8.1 on a virtual machine using vmware server. Not able to connect to the net - not sure if ubuntu is configured right... | 12:57 |
| saler | ubuntu1, do u use NAT for network | 12:58 |
| Mickmeister | danboid, it's NTFS yeah. I'm unsure how to mount the drive, I think I made an attempt using ntfs-config and now I'm attempting to access my secondary partition, but it's saying it can't mount it and producing an extremely long error message. | 12:59 |
| ubuntu1 | saler - i havent seen nat as an option in either vmware or ubuntu network | 12:59 |
| nandayo | Well, about my sound problem, some precisions : the chipset of my coundcard is Intel ICH9, whis is not officially on the alsa compatibility page. I installed a "test ubuntu" and I followed lot of recommandations of a forum, and finally, after many many manipulations, the sound worked. I tried to do exactly the same on my ubuntu, and it doesn't work ! The only thing I know is that the "test ubuntu" now uses "Pulseaudio" (but when I | 12:59 |
| nandayo | use it on my ubuntu, no sound...). | 12:59 |
| Redleer | .bundle | 12:59 |

| ubuntu1 | ok, will try creating another vm and use the nat if i can find it | 13:01 |
| danboid | Mickmeister: That sounds very dodgy! Can you read the drive fine under windows? I run chkdsk on it under windows give it a once over then try ntfs-config again. Can you see the ntfs partition OK with (c)fdisk? ie sudo cfdisk ? | 13:01 |
| Mickmeister | danboid, the partition shows up as '225.5GB Media' in Computer. When I right click and select properties there is no information about the partition, it can't even detect what file system it's using. | 13:01 |
| danboid | Mickmeister: Are you not dual booting then? | 13:02 |
| saler | ubuntu1,first make sure ur internet connection is sharing !!! | 13:02 |
| Mickmeister | danboid, cfdisk produces ' FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap' - yeah I'm dual booting. | 13:02 |
| Mickmeister | danboid, and yeah, I can access my windows partition fine by booting into it. | 13:03 |
| danboid | Mickmeister: Did you resize that partition then? | 13:03 |
| Mickmeister | danboid, I think so yeah. | 13:04 |
| strangeseraph | how do I install a tar.gz? | 13:04 |
| danboid | Thats what fdisk is complaing about and linux doesn't like then | 13:04 |
| Sinnerboy | Anyone tried 8.1 on Acer Aspire One (8Gig N0HDD)? | 13:04 |
| ubuntu1 | saler - i'll check that too | 13:04 |
| Mickmeister | danboid, I think there was one continuous partition with Windows that I resized to accommodate Linux. | 13:05 |

| Jampiter | Is there a way to order the Ubuntu Alternate install disk, but just ONE of them, rather than a pack of 20? | 13:10 |
| nandayo | I ask my question again about my sound problem : the chipset of my soundcard is Intel ICH9, which is not shown on the official alsa-project compatibility page. I installed a "test ubuntu" with wubi and I followed lot of recommandations of a forum ; finally, after many many manipulations, the sound worked, but I don't know exactly why. I tried to do exactly the same manipulations on my ubuntu, and it doesn't work ! The only thing I | 13:10 |
| nandayo | know is that the "test ubuntu" now uses Pulseaudio for the sound (but when I use it on my ubuntu, I still have no sound...). Have some ideas ? | 13:10 |
| strangeseraph | bah, it didn't work. I may have to find a .deb of it | 13:11 |
| quibbler | strangeseraph, what are you looking for? | 13:11 |
| jrib | strangeseraph: you should tell us exactly what you are trying to install | 13:11 |

| danboid | nandayo: Prob you have is like me in that there are a millions variations of the intel ICH sound chips | 13:12 |
| jrib | Mickmeister: what /dev/XXXX is your partition? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Foo | Afternoon chaps. | 13:12 |

| jrib | stevr1it: man find, see the -size switch | 13:14 |
| Mickmeister | jrib, I'm sorry I don't understand quite what you mean? How do I find out whether an entry was created? | 13:14 |
| jarco | dunno for sure where to find them but i got one from a local guy once | 13:14 |
| nsadmin | zzattack: so the wired pcs would be on the original subnet, you would define a separate subnet for the wireless which the linksys would serve with its dhcp, so you'd have a wireless nat as a client of the original wired nat | 13:14 |

| jrib | srx2002: I'm pretty sure mplayer can just play them. Or you can just mount it | 13:27 |

| fady | How can we find out if we have a 64bit or 32 bit ubuntu version? | 13:28 |
| jrib | stevr1it: I mean just prefix what you write to me with "jrib: " so it triggers my highlight | 13:28 |
| jrib | fady: uname -m | 13:28 |
| fady | jrib huh? | 13:29 |
| Mickmeister | None of that really helps then, it says I can force if I don't have Windows (I do so that's not an option) and the other option it gives is to disconnect the removable media the partition is mounted on, but it's not mounted on anything removable. | 13:29 |
| Mickmeister | jrib | 13:29 |
| jrib | fady: run the command 'uname -m' in a terminal | 13:29 |
| stevr1it | "jrib" ok | 13:29 |
| fady | it says x86 64 thats 64 bit right? how can we make it 32? | 13:29 |
| jrib | fady: yes; by reinstalling | 13:29 |
| Mickmeister | jrib, it worked! | 13:30 |

| cfd90 | fady: start wubi with --32bit | 13:30 |
| cfd90 | Oh, dang. Too late. | 13:31 |
| stevr1it | "jrib" yes but it is not clear at all | 13:31 |

| cmv583 | oCean_: open in filebrowser, doesn't seem to be recognizing it? | 14:03 |
| bvalek2 | axisys: is your wireless hardware turned on? some laptops have buttons to turn it on explicitly | 14:03 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: from the menu 'places' it probably just checks whether there is media or not | 14:03 |

| oCean_ | cmv583: you say you don't have cdrom.. what to put in the cd-rw tray? | 14:06 |

| srx2002 | /dev/scdo? | 14:08 |
| oCean_ | srx2002: you can also verify by "ls -al /dev/cdrom" You'll probably find that it's a link to /dev/scd0 | 14:08 |

| ubottu | 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? | 14:10 |
| oCean_ | srx2002: /etc/fstab contains information for the system where to mount a filesystem. So if the systems find a filesystem in /dev/scd0 (e.g. you insert media) it will mount that filesystem at /media/cdrom0 | 14:10 |
| srx2002 | ok...got ya | 14:10 |
| cmv583 | oCean_: trying to run from livecd to resolve other issues, can't because comp. doesn't read cd-rw drive, so, in turn can't boot from cd. trying to burn back-up files also, need to partition ext. HDD. | 14:10 |

| Keph | hi | 14:11 |
| Hovefirse | oCean: Speaking about mounting...I have a server running in command line mode, no GUI. When I plug an external hard drive into it, I'd like it always to be mapped tu the same /dev/sd*-file. Is this possible? | 14:11 |
| jrib | jacobw-uk: just ask your question/state your problem. If that was really your question, then search bugs.ubuntu.com. If you are having problems with it and want help, then you need to provide details | 14:11 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: you also cannot boot from cd? Then maybe device is disabled in bios? | 14:12 |
| Keph | I was wondering, is there any way to speed up ubuntu's boot-up? Specifically, the part seemingly just before "reading files needed to boot" - for some reason, this takes forever | 14:12 |
| jacobw-uk | jrib: ok. i've found the solution on the mailings lists anyway | 14:13 |
| oCean_ | Hovefirse: by using filesystem labels, you can | 14:13 |
| jacobw-uk | jrib: its faster to try two things at once ;) | 14:13 |
| Keph | or at the very least, could someone help me identify why "reading files needed to boot" takes so long? | 14:14 |

| oCean_ | Hovefirse: so, when formatting the drive you can add a label (or use command e2label). Then you can specify that label in the /etc/fstab | 14:14 |
| Hovefirse | oCean: OK. Would you happen to have any good websites handy, or should I hit google? | 14:14 |
| oCean_ | Hovefirse: type e2label and fstab in google and see :) | 14:15 |

| Redleer | vmware is on .rpm and .bundle files havent found deb :/ | 15:09 |
| etronik | Gnea: you mean to delete the whole thing (almost) from /etc/interfaces ? | 15:09 |
| kai` | it (~/.nano_history) is owned by root for all users. | 15:09 |
| nsadmin | kai` did you edit a file? | 15:09 |
| kai` | nsadmin: yes | 15:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Redleer, there is vmware in a deb.. guaranteed | 15:09 |
| jim_p | Redleer, vmware server? | 15:09 |
| Redleer | workstation | 15:09 |
| Jeruvy | Redleer: ah workstation is $$ | 15:10 |
| Gnea | etronik: well, back yours up first so that you don't forget the info there - but yeah, the whole file is causing you problems - it isn't the older ubuntu or debian anymore, there's a new method at work now and if you try to trump it, it will trump you, as it is currently doing :) | 15:10 |
| oCean_ | oCean_: well, that makes the matter weird indeed. | 15:10 |
| kai` | nsadmin: but it always complains: Error reading /home/kai/.nano_history: Permission denied - Press Enter to continue. | 15:10 |
| nsadmin | is it in /etc/skel? | 15:10 |
| kai` | nsadmin: no matter what user i try | 15:10 |
| Padhu | dear experts, i tried to install epson LQ1150 II 24 pin dot matrix printer driver RPM using alien. After installation it is not working properly. Anybody had it | 15:10 |
| etronik | Gnea: I see, rebooting now :-) | 15:10 |
| nsadmin | is it in /etc/skel? | 15:10 |
| nsadmin | :) | 15:10 |
| Gnea | etronik: but yeah, in NetworkManager, make sure you set the 'System Setting' checkbox for both the wired and wireless, otherwise you get no networking unless you're logged in | 15:11 |

| PucKid | hi everyone | 15:11 |
| kai` | nsadmin: no | 15:12 |
| nsadmin | hmm, then I wonder how it got there | 15:12 |
| PucKid | i'd like to ask why does this happen : http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7968/screenshot1pm0.png this happens all the time when i go to another window, then if i click on the top of it, or click on "bad area" it gets normal again. | 15:12 |
| asus | hi | 15:12 |
| kai` | nsadmin: what is the purpose of that directory? files that are created for every usr automatically? | 15:12 |
| kai` | *user | 15:12 |
| hareldvd | Can I use remote disk such as when from menu->Places->Network->Windows Network->workgroup from command line (script)? | 15:13 |
| Padhu | Yes RPM. Alien is RPM to Deb convertor | 15:13 |
| nsadmin | kai` yes, see man useradd, -m | 15:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Padhu, and it is unsupported and dangerous and seldom works | 15:13 |
| kai` | ok | 15:13 |
| dpreacher | nsadmin i'd a query about adduser/useradd. | 15:14 |
| Padhu | I know it. But it works for me in some applications | 15:14 |
| kdogg | HELLO if I am going to sell my computer to someone, can i just make them a new user and then delete my old original user? | 15:14 |
| nsadmin | kdogg: you could format the hd and let them put what they want on it | 15:15 |
| IdleOne | kdogg: I would do a complete format and reinstall | 15:15 |
| Jeruvy | kdogg: why not wipe the hard disk and reinstall? | 15:15 |
| n8tuser | kdogg-> its okay | 15:15 |

| dpreacher | how do i replicate the actions taken by ubuntu while it creates the first user, like determining what groups it adds the user to, how it adds the user to the sudoers file, etc. its just that its ubuntu server 8.10 | 15:16 |

| AgeManiac | humm, can someone help me with this? :X | 15:17 |

| dpreacher | it takes 7 hours. the whole coffee jar will be emptied...the coffee powder one | 15:17 |
| AgeManiac | its the folder im backing up but i cant access it :( | 15:18 |
| dpreacher | Jeruvy is it not possible to re-run the script ubunu used during install | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AgeManiac, Is ther a folder on the cd named backup | 15:18 |
| dpreacher | s/ubunu/ubuntu | 15:18 |
| AgeManiac | Jack_Sparrow: yes, theres a folder there named backup, its being copied | 15:19 |
| Jeruvy | dpreacher: I'm sure it is, but I haven't explored it (why I'm not a distro builder...) and the alternate cd is designed specifically to | 15:19 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: me neither. It seems just to quit trying to mount the device, but we don't know why. I don't know if how to debug *why* it stops. "strace" might be a start, but you have to know what you're looking for... | 15:19 |
| Jeruvy | dpreacher: do just this. sorry for the line break. | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AgeManiac, sounds like you dont have permission to open that folder | 15:19 |
| AgeManiac | Jack_Sparrow: yeah i know that, but its there a way to get permition to open it? :/ | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes, sudo | 15:20 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: might have a look at "dmesg" too, immediately after failing to mount. | 15:20 |
| AgeManiac | sudo cd backup? | 15:20 |
| AgeManiac | ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk-1$ sudo cd backup | 15:21 |
| AgeManiac | sudo: cd: command not found | 15:21 |
| AgeManiac | well, not exactly :P | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the permissi | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ons are set | 15:21 |
| dpreacher | no Jeruvy we've got the ubuntu server all set up with a lot of configuration done on it, but until now it was done thru one user account. but now ssh is setup so more ppl will be workin on it, but each user faces problems like not being added to sudo | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AgeManiac, missing / /backup ? | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AgeManiac, that was a generic howto for setting permissions on a partition | 15:22 |
| Jeruvy | dpreacher: ah, well thats another issue all together. So are you seeking a rollout solution across many machines or a one-off? | 15:22 |

| jane81 | Gnea: /dev/sda3 ext3 40G 27G 12G 71% /home | 15:46 |
| cmv583 | oCean_: sudo apt-get install gnomebaker worked, thanx! | 15:46 |
| dpreacher | yep, but without looking at the groups output of my colleague who created his account as the first account and no dialout doesn't really remind of serial ports but COM does...almost. plugdev, what's that for. only usb drives or other devices also? | 15:46 |
| outbackwifi | Jampiter: use glade to programmatically create the applications | 15:46 |
| RPS | oops, that was a D620 Latitude | 15:46 |
| Gnea | jane81: interesting, most newbies wouldn't know to put /home on its own partition. ;p okay, do you still have your livecd? | 15:47 |
| etronik | Gnea: your fix seems to be working wonderfully !! :-) THANKS VERY VERY MUCH !! :) | 15:47 |
| Gnea | etronik: cheers :) | 15:47 |
| jane81 | Gnea: haha, I didnt install the system on my own :) | 15:47 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: okay. Went through the strace output, and it is exactly the same as I have when I don't have a cd inserted at all. So the system really discovers 'nothing there' | 15:47 |
| Jampiter | I mean, how do I create individual widget themes like those available on Gnome look? | 15:48 |
| Gnea | jane81: ah, okay :) | 15:48 |
| n8tuser2 | dpreacher -> umm can you do a tutorial on linux administration? your questions require some reading on your part, these are basic admin stuff | 15:48 |
| Jampiter | Thanks anyway though outbackwifi :) | 15:48 |
| jane81 | Gnea: No, It is long gone...I upgraded the system yesterday | 15:48 |
| cmv583 | oCean_: interesting? | 15:48 |
| Gnea | jane81: hrm... do you have a cd burner on the system? | 15:48 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: have to go anyway.. hope you find the cause | 15:48 |
| jane81 | Gnea: but I have had this problem before I upgraded | 15:48 |
| jane81 | Gnea: Yes i do | 15:48 |
| cmv583 | oCean_: thanx, anyone i should turn to? | 15:48 |
| oCean_ | cmv583: well, there a lot of helpful lads and gals in this channel :) Bye | 15:49 |
| cmv583 | oCean_: c-ya | 15:49 |
| Gnea | jane81: could be a bad hard disk - but let's make sure before jumping to that conclusion. go to http://ubuntu.com and download the 8.10 desktop cd ISO and burn it to a CD (assuming you have some blanks laying around) | 15:49 |
| n8tuser2 | dpreacher -> the book by craig sobell(sp?) on practical ubuntu sys admin is a good one | 15:49 |
| cmv583 | has anyone else followed this conv.? | 15:50 |
| jane81 | Gnea: yes | 15:50 |
| jane81 | Gnea: want me to reinstall? | 15:50 |
| Gnea | jane81: awesome. no. | 15:50 |
| dpreacher | will check it n8tuser gtg now thanks so much | 15:50 |
| jane81 | Gnea: ok | 15:50 |
| Gnea | jane81: the idea here is to boot it up into desktop/livecd mode and fsck /dev/sda3 from there, while /home is not mounted - it should cleanly take care of it | 15:50 |
| Gnea | jane81: if you start getting errors, and it doesn't finish, then you'll know for sure if it's a software or hardware problem | 15:51 |
| jane81 | Gnea: aha ok | 15:51 |
| jane81 | Gnea: so if it doesnt finish would that be a hardware problem? | 15:51 |
| mossmon | what is the name of those panels on ubuntu on top and down?? | 15:51 |
| outbackwifi | RPS: generally that key is supposed to send integers to /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd (on my toshiba) | 15:51 |
| Gnea | jane81: the chance will be greater for it, yes | 15:51 |
| jane81 | Gnea: aha ok | 15:52 |

| Gnea | mossmon: gnome panels | 15:52 |
| jane81 | Gnea: so let me download the iso | 15:52 |
| mossmon | thanks! | 15:52 |
| outbackwifi | sky_1: top | 15:52 |
| Gnea | jane81: let me know when you're ready :) | 15:52 |
| jane81 | Gnea: what program do i need to use for burning the CD? | 15:52 |
| RPS | outbackwifi, is there something I can try to wake it up? | 15:52 |
| Gnea | jane81: I suggest k3b | 15:52 |
| mossmon | so if i want to install them on my second coputer i write sudo apt-get install gnome panels? | 15:53 |
| jane81 | Gnea: Ok, need to get that one as well :) | 15:53 |
| Gnea | jane81: also, you might want to save the ISO to /tmp so that it's not on /home | 15:53 |
| outbackwifi | RPS: try sending echo 'brightness : 5 > /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd | 15:53 |
| jane81 | Gnea: Ok | 15:53 |
| sky_1 | thank you | 15:53 |
| outbackwifi | RPS: replace toshiba with dell in your case (should work) | 15:53 |
| jane81 | Gnea: I started downloading it to home now but will move it to /tmp when it is done | 15:53 |
| mossmon | so if i want to install them on my second coputer i write sudo apt-get install gnome panels? | 15:53 |
| Gnea | jane81: at this point, i would stop the download and just repoint it to save to /tmp | 15:53 |
| Gnea | jane81: if /home is unstable, it could cause problems | 15:54 |
| jane81 | Gnea: ok | 15:54 |
| RPS | so 'sudo brightness : 5 > /proc/acpi/dell/lcd ...is that right? | 15:54 |
| outbackwifi | RPS: echo 'brightness : ' 5 > /proc/acpi/dell/lcd | 15:54 |
| RPS | oops ...no sudo, just echo | 15:54 |
| outbackwifi | RPS: the second apostrophe also | 15:54 |
| Gnea | jane81: ie. you could burn the CD and it won't boot because some of the bits got corrupted from the filesystem | 15:55 |
| jane81 | Gnea: got it | 15:55 |
| Gnea | jane81: :) | 15:55 |

| outbackwifi | scunizi: not for commands like these; try it and let me know if it works :) | 16:00 |
| oskude | mossmon, sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 16:00 |

| strangeseraph | so maybe I need to see if there's a specific driver for me? | 16:22 |
| oskude | strangeseraph, thats cause Intel rocks and has open source drivers (at least for some chips) | 16:22 |
| oskude | strangeseraph, i would first look if that chip even has OpenGL HW acceleration | 16:22 |

| strangeseraph | oskude, Acer doesn't. I couldn't install Vista on this laptop properly without having all their proprietary drivers on a CD because they have a special version of vista they install | 16:22 |
| shiloh7_ | strangeseraph, any intel board i have ever loaded into has been perfect graphically | 16:22 |
| oskude | strangeseraph, ms-windows is a nightmare with drivers anyway... | 16:23 |
| strangeseraph | the graphics hardware is Intel GMA X4500 | 16:23 |
| shiloh7_ | strangeseraph, cause vista is an abortion | 16:23 |
| jane81 | Gnea: i will boot from the CD now then fsck the sda3 drive. Ok? | 16:23 |
| RPS | outbackwifi, are you working on a line of code for me? | 16:23 |
| strangeseraph | lol | 16:23 |
| strangeseraph | so why did supertux not work? :( | 16:23 |
| outbackwifi | RPS: im trying to | 16:23 |
| oskude | strangeseraph, ok, so a very new one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X4500 | 16:24 |

| enovativ | in Nautilus how do I call up a windows share using Samba ? I was trying to use: smb:///ip_address/sharename - but it didn't work | 16:24 |
| enovativ | what am i typing wrong ? | 16:24 |
| oskude | strangeseraph, maybe its that old linux problem "hardware too new", but as its from intel, i assume good drivers are somewhere... | 16:25 |
| jinja-sheep | enovativ: Try Places --> Connect To Server | 16:25 |
| Gnea | oop | 16:25 |
| strangeseraph | okay, according to this http://tuxdapenguin.com/?p=59 it should work | 16:25 |
| strangeseraph | Linux support out of box. Could it be because its paired with Acer hardware? | 16:26 |

| outbackwifi | RPS: i just found out; the brightness control on the 620 is totally hardware controlled not OS. So you probably have to take it to dell for fixing | 16:26 |

| === lain is now known as lain|dumb | ||
| RPS | OMG ...please don;t tell me that | 16:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | strangeseraph, HArdware mfg are quick to say linux support when they really mean they got it to work with one release somewhere | 16:27 |
| strangeseraph | well, maybe I should try supertux-stable instead of supertux. Couldj ust be an upgrade bug. I'm going to try other programs in fullscreen mode and find the ones that are buggy | 16:27 |
| RPS | the brightness went up, but I turned it down | 16:27 |

| persei | Need an advice from you: I run a fedora - Windows system. Linux (fedora) is on the second HD, Windows, the first one. I installed "grub" on the first HD (where Windows is installed). I want to format the fedora hd to install Ubuntu. Do you think this could give me pb with grub and the way my system starts ? Thanks | 16:48 |

| aheckler | persei, if you reinstall grub over top of the existing grub, ubuntu will automatically be in the menu, you'd just have to add grub entries for windows and i think you'd be good to go | 16:49 |
| AgeManiac | hello everyone ^^ | 16:49 |
| AgeManiac | just a question, whats the name of the program in linux to manage the partitions? :X | 16:50 |
| nandayo | zlooh : that's what I think to, damn why the command do not return my sound card any longer, I don't understand | 16:50 |
| outbackwifi | oskude: if you have an atom based netbook -> http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img | 16:50 |
| aheckler | persei, because the ubuntu installer also install grub unless you tell it not to | 16:50 |
| persei | aheckler: so I can ask it not to install it ? | 16:50 |
| outbackwifi | oskude: use the alternate cd for everything else | 16:51 |
| zloog | nandayo: so you want to get your sound card to show up again? | 16:51 |
| aheckler | yeah, it's one of the last steps, after you've done the partitioning steps, you have to click an "advanced" button or something, and then uncheck an option that says "Install bootloader" | 16:51 |
| oskude | outbackwifi, that was not the "comment", i said theres no floppy (or usb) or netinst images for ubuntu... | 16:51 |

| svenneedsubuntuh | when you download ubuntu, do you extract the rar file? | 16:53 |
| jrib | Stalker72: backups most likely. If you moved them to the trash, then just restore them from there | 16:53 |
| papul | svenneedsubuntuh, i think it is an iso file? | 16:53 |
| svenneedsubuntuh | anyone help? | 16:53 |
| jinja-sheep | I'm sshing into the laptop. I can type stuffs in the terminal. How do I get the laptop's terminal to display the same thing I'm doing. I tried screen -x ? | 16:53 |

| papul | svenneedsubuntuh, are u using winrar? | 16:54 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: They didn't get moved to trash. | 16:54 |
| svenneedsubuntuh | I burned the file I got to CD, then it wont open when I put the disk in | 16:54 |

| oskude | Stalker72, apt-cache search gave me these 2: e2undel - Undelete utility for the ext2 file system | recover - Undelete files on ext2 partitions | 16:56 |
| omar | I have tried the aoss in the firefoxrc but that didn't help | 16:56 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: I use ext3. | 16:56 |
| Jeruvy | outbackwifi: thanks I couldnt' find that factoid | 16:56 |
| valros | ok, why isnt the burn button clickable in brasero? on the disk burning setup after adding the tracks | 16:56 |
| oskude | Stalker72, ext3 =~ ext2 with journaling | 16:56 |
| simplenewb | There are two commands i need to run automatically after bootup and I can't figure it out. I added the commands to the sudoers file using visudo but the commands don't run. The commands need root (sudo) to run from a command line. What have I done wrong? | 16:56 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: Can they recover data that was on my iPod? | 16:56 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: Or do you think the files are still somewhere on the disk if I deleted them from Collection? | 16:57 |
| jrib | simplenewb: what commands? | 16:57 |
| Jeruvy | Stalker72: it wouldn't do any good off your ipod... | 16:57 |
| oskude | Stalker72, i have no idea, sorry. whats ipod ? ;P | 16:57 |
| outbackwifi | simplenewb: add them to /etc/rc/local | 16:57 |
| outbackwifi | oops | 16:57 |
| outbackwifi | simplenewb: add them to /etc/rc.local | 16:57 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: Music player.. from Apple :( | 16:57 |
| aheckler | Stalker72: if the actual files are still there, it should just be a simple procedure to add them to amarok's library again | 16:57 |
| outbackwifi | simplenewb: you wont need to add sudo there | 16:58 |
| Stalker72 | aheckler: I don't know where the files went after deleting them from Amarok's Collection tab.... | 16:58 |
| oskude | Stalker72, i dont know ipod nor Amarok... are they even in the standard ubuntu ? ;) | 16:58 |
| pedro_ | every time i start my pc i gotta type in my password so ubuntu will connect to my wireless network, how can i set it up so its automatic? | 16:58 |
| oskude | Stalker72, amarok is an KDE tool, right ? try #kubuntu | 16:58 |
| omar | can some one help with sound problems with flash in firefox, the firefoxrc solution of adding aoss didnt work | 16:58 |
| valros | amarok is part of kde, but you can get it on ubuntu | 16:58 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: Amarok is Kubuntu (KDE)'s music player.. iPod is a music player (MP3) from Apple. | 16:59 |
| jrib | Stalker72: if all you did was remove them from your library, then they should still be on the ipod. check. | 16:59 |
| Formode | Ok guys, I have something I'm trying to run a makefile on something in my home folder, it's for Revoco... I get "Permission Denied" when not sudo. Should I Sudo it or? | 16:59 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: I did check. I can still see my collection, but I can't play the songs. | 16:59 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: did you sync your ipod after you removed them from amarok? | 16:59 |
| jrib | Stalker72: you're just working on your ipod at this point? | 16:59 |
| outbackwifi | Formode: sure | 16:59 |
| === sa1981 is now known as jane81 | ||
| Stalker72 | jrib: What do you mean? | 17:00 |
| Jeruvy | Formode: usually only 'make install' requires sudo.. but ya | 17:00 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: no | 17:00 |
| jane81 | Gnea: i think it worked :) | 17:00 |
| oskude | Formode, just use sudo for "make install" but actually not even for that!!! if you need it system wide atleast do "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" | 17:00 |
| jane81 | Gnea: r u there? | 17:00 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: The 2 recovery apps I installed don't have a GUI. | 17:00 |
| jrib | Stalker72: I mean, pick up your ipod and see if the songs play there directly | 17:00 |
| simplenewb | outbackwifi, jrib: I'm trying to add a line to my iptable rules each boot and start knockd (/sbin/iptables -i INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j REJECT and knockd -i eth0 -d) | 17:00 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: then just unplug your ipod | 17:00 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: I have. | 17:00 |
| jane81 | Gnea: thanks for your help | 17:00 |
| jrib | !iptables | simplenewb | 17:00 |
| ubottu | simplenewb: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 17:00 |
| raisin | I'm running a fresh intrepid installation and having a weird sound delay in flash games. however flash videos (youtube) run perfectly fine, anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance. | 17:00 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Unplug and replug? | 17:00 |
| jrib | Stalker72: and? | 17:00 |
| jane81 | hi everyone | 17:00 |
| outbackwifi | simplenewb: thats ok | 17:00 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: dont replug ;) | 17:00 |
| jane81 | I have a problem i cannot solve | 17:00 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: The progress bar just stays at 0:00. | 17:01 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: ask away | 17:01 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Check while it is unplugged? | 17:01 |
| oskude | Stalker72, if the files are on an ipod, i doubt those tools will help. but as others said, maybe you just removed the meta "collection" in amarok, and the files are still on ipod, try to regenerate the collection, or something... | 17:01 |
| meoblast001 | does anyone know how to make sure GDM is not starting on a server without a monitor? | 17:01 |
| simplenewb | outbackwifi: Can rc.local handle a command needing sudo and still not prompt for a password? | 17:01 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: My sound on the webbrowser stopped working since I updated ubuntu yesterday | 17:01 |
| outbackwifi | simplenewb: yes, it runs the commands as root | 17:01 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: How do I regenerate it? | 17:01 |
| simplenewb | outbackwifi: Ok thanks. | 17:02 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: is it working elsewhere? | 17:02 |
| jane81 | yes | 17:02 |
| jrib | meoblast001: sysv-rc-conf | 17:02 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: yes | 17:02 |
| oskude | Stalker72, i assume theres a channel for Amakrok, #amarok ? | 17:02 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: are you able to play songs on the ipod? | 17:02 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: ok i'll do that | 17:02 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: nope | 17:02 |
| jrib | simplenewb: read the guide ubottu gave you. It will tell you how you should setup itpables | 17:02 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: there you go; your ipod's nuked | 17:02 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: what browser are you using | 17:03 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: I have backups of my whole music collection, but I have to manually edit the data for them, and it takes forever. | 17:03 |
| simplenewb | jrib: I still need the other command to run. I'm checking out the link from you/ubotu | 17:03 |
| oskude | Stalker72, i would really encourage you to find the IRC channel of amarok and ask there | 17:03 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Is there a program that fetches the correct data? | 17:03 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: just repopulate amarok and replug the ipod | 17:03 |
| Stalker72 | oskude: sec | 17:03 |
| Formode | having problems compiling Revoco... Anyone want a pastebin? | 17:03 |
| jrib | simplenewb: did you install knockd from the repositories? | 17:03 |
| qcjn | hi, how to application don't close with the terminal when open via the terminal ? | 17:03 |
| outbackwifi | Formode: go ahead | 17:03 |
| oskude | Formode, shoot! | 17:03 |
| outbackwifi | qcjn: ctl+c | 17:04 |
| Peter_pie_eater_ | ? | 17:04 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: I don't want to manually edit all the info for them again. It's like 2000 songs. Is there an app that gathers info from somewhere, automatically? | 17:04 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: i use firefox | 17:04 |
| qcjn | ok,thanks outbackwifi | 17:04 |
| jane81 | but it is not working on galeon either | 17:04 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: thats called amarok; ask it to scan your disk | 17:04 |
| jrib | qcjn: either use nohup or screen, or run it as: COMMAND & disown | 17:04 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: I didn't back up my music after editing tags. | 17:04 |
| simplenewb | jrib: yes | 17:05 |
| Lynx | Hello ! | 17:05 |
| Formode | outbackwifi, oskude: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103579/ | 17:05 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: ok so you want a program to regenerate your tags? | 17:05 |
| oskude | Formode, ... you dont do it like that ... | 17:05 |
| jrib | simplenewb: then you should have /etc/init.d/knockd and it probably already gets started automatically | 17:05 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Yeah, basically. | 17:05 |
| oskude | Formode, Makefile is used by a program called make .. | 17:05 |
| Formode | oskude: Haha shit. | 17:05 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: there seemed to be an app called id3tag or something | 17:05 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Does it work with mp3 files? | 17:06 |
| arrrghhh | so how do i check my hard disk integrity? i've seen smartmontools which i use, badblocks seems like it *may* be useless now and fsck doesn't seem to do much (unless there's some switch i need to apply...?) | 17:06 |
| oskude | Formode, are you sure you want to do this ? are there no ubuntu packages for that tool ? | 17:06 |
| Peter_pie_eater_ | i wanna know how to install ubuntu | 17:06 |
| outbackwifi | Formode: just type sudo make | 17:06 |
| jrib | Stalker72: easytag as well | 17:06 |
| Peter_pie_eater_ | on a xt pc | 17:06 |
| nandayo | join #alsa | 17:06 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: I don't think easytag supports mp3. | 17:06 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: also, when I press the mute button on the comp it doesnt mute like it used to...I have to go through the volume control in order to mute | 17:06 |
| nandayo | lol | 17:06 |
| Formode | oskude: No ubuntu packages. :-/ Sorry, U'm way out of tough | 17:06 |
| Formode | touch* | 17:06 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: Oh wait, it does! | 17:06 |
| Peter_pie_eater_ | hey tpuch me | 17:06 |
| simplenewb | jrib: it does have the init.d/knockd file but I still have to start it manually for it to work. I guess I'll look into that issue rather than try to find another way to start it | 17:06 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: is it a laptop or desktop? | 17:06 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: Does it gather tags automatically? | 17:06 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: what should i be looking for in here | 17:06 |
| Formode | oskude, Thanks! :D | 17:07 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: laptop | 17:07 |
| Jeruvy | Stalker72: did you check? It supports many files that use ID2 and ID3 tagging. | 17:07 |
| jrib | Stalker72: the description says it can from the name and file directory | 17:07 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: gdm has 2, 3, 4, 5 | 17:07 |
| oskude | Formode, hmm, i cant think of any howto for building things, but normally its: ./configure && make | 17:07 |
| jrib | meoblast001: turn it off there | 17:07 |
| Belboz99 | hey all, I'm having some issues with Madwifi on Ubuntu 8.10, does anyone here know how to setup a wireless AP using madwifi? | 17:07 |
| Stalker72 | jrib: That's not what I'm looking for. | 17:07 |
| Formode | oskude: It works. Thanks alot! | 17:07 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: generally the fn buttons on a laptop are handled by acpi; the update might have screwed it up | 17:07 |
| jrib | Stalker72: then describe what you are looking for | 17:07 |
| oskude | !compile | 17:07 |

| PrebenR | anybody got SHM working? trying to turn off touchpad but cannot get SHM to work even after following the instructions. Is it a kernel problem? | 17:08 |

| jrib | PrebenR: wfm. Give more details | 17:08 |
| outbackwifi | PrebenR: whats SHM | 17:09 |
| Formode | oskude: Thanks! I've been stuck on mac for the last 5 months, really out of touch. :-/ | 17:09 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: i watched the thing on nbc about inefficient servers damaging the environment | 17:09 |
| jrib | simplenewb: check what runlevels if any it is supposed to be starting in | 17:09 |
| jrib | meoblast001: heh | 17:09 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: do your vol up and down buttons work? | 17:10 |
| PrebenR | jrib, I want to disable touchpad on my wifes Asus when I have a usb mouse. | 17:10 |
| xcerca | how do i change the setting so that when i plug in a usb drive or ipod or camera it shows up on the desktop ? | 17:10 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: i only use gnome on my server for thing i cant remember by heart (chmod codes) | 17:10 |
| simplenewb | jrib: ok i will | 17:10 |
| oskude | Formode, a quick recap: "./configure" checks that you have all needed libraries installed and generates the "Makefile". "make" compiles the program according to the Makefile, and if you really want to install it system wide "sudo make install" does that, but i would recommend "sudo checkinstall" instead, as it does and .deb package from it that you can easily remove with "sudo dpkg -r <package name you gave it>" | 17:10 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: yes the buttons work but I cannot control the volume | 17:10 |
| xcerca | PrebenR , isn't there a button on the laptop that turns off the touchpad , mine had that | 17:10 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: you know any other things i could try to keep it efficient? | 17:10 |
| Formode | oskude: Thanks! :) | 17:11 |
| PrebenR | jrib, I have edited xorg.conf, but if I do xinput list I don't get the section name I put up. and synclient complains | 17:11 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: ah that probably means that you have the wrong device selected in preferences | 17:11 |
| hissing | is anyone having a problem with flash on ibex | 17:11 |

| CheesyMcPuffs | go to #ubuntu-bugs if you need help with problems | 17:12 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: the funny thing is, when I press the volume buttons I get a volume control bar that increases and decreases, like it used to. But there is no connection between the buttons and the actual volume control | 17:12 |
| jane81 | outbackwifi: if you know what I mean | 17:13 |
| hissing | xcerca, good one, ill try the bug channel though | 17:13 |
| jrib | CheesyMcPuffs: #ubuntu-bugs is for help triaging bugs. This channel is for help with problems | 17:13 |
| Ax-Ax | hello, could anybody help me with how to write a command that 1. downloads a file to a specific folder 2. mplayer-plays the same file ? | 17:13 |
| jrib | Ax-Ax: you can use wget for 1 | 17:13 |
| outbackwifi | jane81: i know; that just means that you have the wrong sound device in the preferences | 17:13 |
| hissing | well if anyone here has the same issue, or could be any help... | 17:13 |
| CheesyMcPuffs | oh, well, they helped with my cd drive not being reogniyed, but ty anyway jrib | 17:13 |
| xcerca | jane81 , goto sound settings and change the master sound deivce , or just goto keyboard controls and change what the button does | 17:13 |

| Mpole | jrib: lol. ok. | 17:17 |
| PrebenR | jrib, so why I have to enable SHMConfig in xorg.conf ? | 17:17 |
| oskude | Ax-Ax, for doing bash scripts, this is your bible http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 17:17 |
| jrib | PrebenR: you don't. Use an fdi file | 17:18 |

| jrib | PrebenR: how are you determining SHMConfig is not enabled? | 17:19 |
| jane81 | Xcerca: No, it didnt work | 17:19 |
| gopp | !likewise | 17:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about likewise | 17:19 |

| Lukasz | iluminator101, That might be found in your "/etc/X11.xorg.conf (date) file. Take a look into this dir | 17:51 |
| the_squircle | luckyone: when GRUB says "Press esc to boot into the menu", press escape | 17:51 |
| jtaji | persei: to linux, nothing, historically the partition table can only hold 4 partitions, this was extended by making one of those hold other "logical" partitions | 17:51 |
| === mez is now known as Mez | ||
| persei | the_squircle: is it possible to have only logical partitions, no primary at all ? | 17:52 |
| the_squircle | persei: no | 17:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | persei, there is a limit of 4 primary partitins on a drive, to add ore you create extended as one of the 4 primary and it contains logicals | 17:52 |
| Imaginativeone__ | I'm trying to figure out why I was banned from a room... | 17:52 |
| persei | ok | 17:52 |
| the_squircle | Imaginativeone__: try #freenode | 17:52 |
| Lukasz | noodlesgc, I think it is, but from "gconf-editor" I guess. | 17:52 |
| jtaji | persei: kind of yeah, you will have one primary partition which will be called an extended partition and contain the logicals | 17:52 |

| persei | ok, so no need to check the box for "primary", it will be done even if I check only the logical checkboxes | 17:53 |
| noodlesgc | Lukasz if anywhere, its in gconf-editor. I found this, but I don't know if its what you are looking for http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77493 | 17:53 |

| wisniewski | and is there a driver to use the scrallbutton on my thinkpad t41p | 17:53 |
| usser | doug_: what format/protocol ps3 uses, theres a good chance vlc can stream it | 17:53 |
| the_squircle | wisniewski: try #xubuntu | 17:54 |
| wisniewski | are the files not the same | 17:54 |
| wisniewski | ?? | 17:54 |
| doug_ | um one sec | 17:54 |
| the_squircle | wisniewski: usually | 17:54 |
| Lukasz | joljam, There are different clients that feature it. On the pidgin site, there's a note from the devs explaining why it hasn't been implemented yet, and if it ever will. | 17:54 |
| wisniewski | since now i used all ubuntu files and all works fine | 17:54 |

| Lunar_Lamp | I seem to get a corrupted X session at random on occasion. It looks like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/3180780732_ab93cc0589_b.jpg. Restarting X does not fix it; I have to force a reboot of the system. Text consoles are not corrupted as far as I can see. Can anyone help me debug it, or point me in the right direction? | 17:56 |
| simplenewb | jrib: I need your help. I figured out why knockd won't (stay) running after a reboot and it's because eth0 doesn't have an IP address yet. How do i wait for that to happen and not have to manually start knockd? Also my computer defaults to the wifi card eth1 at boot instead of getting a LAN IP address. I guess that's the problem, how do I fix it? | 17:56 |
| jtaji | gerber: Hauppage stuff is good, for hdtv I like pcHDTV | 17:56 |

| wisniewski | no thinkpad users here | 17:57 |
| jrib | simplenewb: I don't know. Changing the numbers in the rc*.d links will determine when the script is executed (man update-rc.d) though | 17:57 |
| Lunar_Lamp | the_squircle: it doesn't seem to be related to graphics card use though the_squircle - I'll try and replicate it by stressing the card though. | 17:57 |
| the_squircle | Lunar_Lamp: what is on that photo looks very similar to an overheat. | 17:57 |

It detects my network and all other available WiFi signals from the other flats around me but, when I got to connect to mine (even though i have put in the right code and everything), it gets to something about 'requesting address from network' and then asks me for the WEP code again and the whole process starts again. I think it mi | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dagama, That is a script t help you run ie under wine | 18:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | style-instalasjo: OK... never nice to find out you missed something *after* :D | 18:07 |
| utabak | Jack_Sparrow : thx, nothing from commmand line, but pgreg alsa also does not return sth | 18:07 |
| wisniewski | and the scoll button | 18:07 |
| style-instalasjo | IntuitiveNipple: No.. Thanks for the heads up. | 18:07 |
| pucko- | Dagama, what do you mean? | 18:07 |
| Dagama | Hmmm, ok. Got Wine and installed IE6 with IEs 4 linux | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dagama, FYI.. wine people dont think highly of that script | 18:07 |
| nickrud | gerber, looking at the download page on sourceforge, you'd most likely want the deb. | 18:07 |
| The_Joe_ | Who cares if they do? | 18:08 |
| style-instalasjo | Btw, if my encrypted luks disk just disseapeared from all places (fdisk -l, gparted, disks), what should I do? (I can't even see it in post) | 18:08 |
| Dagama | It works, kinda but can't figure out how to input webadresses | 18:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | style-instalasjo: Did you lose the device-mapper driver maybe? | 18:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_, If you are using wine and run that script, then you will care as they tend to not provide support | 18:08 |
| pucko- | dagama, so there's no adress bar? | 18:09 |
| Dagama | Yes | 18:09 |
| jeff_ | Hi | 18:09 |

| style-instalasjo | IntuitiveNipple: Like with a kernel update? That is possible. But shouldn't it still show up in POST? | 18:09 |
| pucko- | oh I see, nothing happens when you type something? | 18:09 |
| The_Joe_ | Jack_Sparrow, Well if you run that script the best people to ask for support would be the IEs4 people instead...? | 18:09 |

| style-instalasjo | IntuitiveNipple: It can't 'see' the entire disk. | 18:13 |

| IntuitiveNipple | style-instalasjo: Well, yes, *you* can continue investigating but there are so many fundamental things that *could* lose a disk unless you can pin it down further there's not alot can be done/suggested remotely. Right now, it sounds like you've got a physical disk drive gone AWOL - check power, cables, etc. and go on from there. | 18:17 |

| deus1 | ireless: you might need to create a bridge between wlan0 and eth0, but i'm not sure though | 18:18 |
| pucko- | oh i am bored | 18:18 |
| utabak | The_Joe_ thx, but is this path for ubuntu | 18:18 |
| The_Joe_ | utabak, The options on Skype. | 18:18 |
| ireless | so the ICS using wireless on XP thing cant be achieved on Ubuntu ?? There must be some way | 18:19 |
| liddell | intrepid wont install properly on my laptop for some reason. is there a way to get libasound on hardy? | 18:19 |
| The_Joe_ | utabak, Your best bet would be to also set "ringing" and "sound out" to Pulse as well | 18:19 |
| utabak | The_Joe_ I The_Joe_ I can not see pulse, I see my devices listed and hdmi | 18:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | liddell: I just scrolled back to read your issue. I had that a couple weeks ago. Turned out I'd previously updated libasound from pyske83's PPA and then disabled that repository. I re-enabled it, and it solved the issue. | 18:20 |
| noodlesgc | ireless https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 18:20 |
| The_Joe_ | utabak, Try one of the devices then, just keep going down the list and making test calls until one works | 18:20 |
| tom0360 | Can anyone tell me how to fix the Some applications required for full functionality are missing error I am getting in Ubuntu Intrepid while running Quanta? It is warning me that both Kimagemapeditor and Cervisia are missing, but both are installed. I am thinking I am missing the scripts or some configuration to execute them correctly from quanta. thanks. | 18:20 |
| liddell | IntuitiveNipple, so, i should enable pyskr83's ppa? | 18:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | liddell: psyke83 I meant. It provided updated libasound for solving pulseaudio issues. | 18:21 |
| dee | Hello. Can anyone tell me the difference between "stripped" and "not stripped" in the file-command? | 18:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | liddell: Only enable it if you have used it previously to install that package, and have disabled later. | 18:22 |
| utabak | The_Joe_ none worked so far any other ideas | 18:22 |
| liddell | hum, never used it before... | 18:22 |

| wespe | without networking ubuntu makes no use for me.. | 18:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | liddell: You need to identify what version(s) you've previously installed. Try "apt-cache show libasound2" and look closely at the "pool:" line to see if the package name matches the one shown on packages.ubuntu.com, or indicates a PPA build (maybe has ~ppa in the name) | 18:24 |

| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:31 |

| liddell | IntuitiveNipple, so, why would it tell me that it would break packages? | 18:32 |
| pucko- | jfry, no I think you're right. but one you get it in single mode you can remount it with the remount option to mount, so I believe either should work.. | 18:32 |
| McFrosty | anyone know how to compile games that use the Quake3 engine for PPC? | 18:33 |

| liddell | IntuitiveNipple, well thanks for trying, if i figure it out and your around i'll tell you what did it | 18:40 |
| nsadmin | have you ever explored a town you didn't know? you had a starting point and from there had to find things yourself? | 18:40 |

| The_Joe_ | Fezzler, Just untick the update from Update Manager when you update..? | 18:42 |

| noodlesgc | darkham try ffmpeg or mencoder | 18:43 |
| nsadmin | outdated packages get removed or overwritten | 18:43 |
| nandayo | [useless message] I can't remember how we send a message to a particular user on IRC (not a private message, but a message for the attention of someone) | 18:43 |
| Durandal | I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed and working on one computer but I'm unable to get past the white screen on another. | 18:43 |
| The_Joe_ | nandayo, /msg user message or in most clients Right click their name and click "Open dialog" | 18:43 |
| IcyGuy | I tried to install a couple of programs, but all of them comes with the same error message. | 18:43 |
| noodlesgc | nandayo just include their name and most clients will beep them | 18:43 |
| Fezzler | The_Joe_: Thanks. There is a way to identify the restricted older nvidia and have the update skip that automatically, I just don't know how to set up | 18:43 |
| The_Joe_ | nandayo, Oh nevermind - I thought you needed to send a PM | 18:44 |

| IcyGuy | but i was trying to install a plugin | 18:47 |
| jrib | IcyGuy: ok? | 18:47 |
| IcyGuy | from a list on my computer | 18:47 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> you did do some tutorials on using iptables yes? | 18:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | klasikahl: Tim Gardner is gatekeeper for the kernel, but I think Chuck Short does the -virtual stuff as part of -server | 18:47 |
| Titan8990 | naxa: if you have not changed the default IPTABLES config, all only accept policies, then those ports are open already | 18:48 |
| IcyGuy | jrib: The same thing happens on every program. | 18:48 |
| naxa | actually i need it on openwrt, not ubuntu | 18:48 |
| klasikahl | IntuitiveNipple: Thanks that's helpful. there are some discrepencies and unacknowledged bugs and i was curious as to the reasons | 18:48 |
| naxa | that's why i ask | 18:48 |

| nandayo | ok for using tab, but how to send messages "in red", message at the attention of a particular user, for exemple I want to answer to IndyGunFreak so that he receives my message "in red" (with xchat) | 18:48 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> you did do some tutorials on using iptables yes? <-- answer this | 18:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | nandayo: when yuou use tab to autocomplete their name, it shows up in red to that person(or whatever color they have configured) | 18:49 |
| noodlesgc | darkham I don't know of any gui's that can convert to .mp4. soundconverter is a good one, but does not have the mp4 option. | 18:49 |

| IcyGuy | jrib: no | 18:49 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: well "some" very basic tutorials.. so say no. I can delete a rule, forward a port and open port ranges. I ask becouse I am afraid that i will do something wrong on my router and cannot connect again | 18:49 |
| nandayo | IndyGunFreak, ok, so you receive this message in "red" (or other, doesn't matter) | 18:49 |

| naxa | n8tuser2: i was just testing if someone is actually willing to help with a one-liner or not. :) | 18:51 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> you must understand as minimum about default policy of iptables rules | 18:51 |
| jrib | IcyGuy: right. That's why I gave you the command with "sudo" in the beginning | 18:51 |
| nandayo | IndyGunFreak, ok thx ;) | 18:51 |

| Titan8990 | tekster: there is a reason, but its probably not appicable | 18:59 |
| tekster | what sort of reason | 18:59 |
| Titan8990 | tekster, if you compiled your firefox you have to compile it with alsa in order for sound to work | 18:59 |
| bluedragon | Can't watch online anime because the picture has delays any suggestions | 18:59 |
| tekster | how would i do that? | 18:59 |
| noodlesgc | DrakeDragonwick its just the name of a MySQL client library in the repository. | 18:59 |

| Titan8990 | tekster, then that is not the case | 19:00 |

| wickus | /nick WM9 | 19:27 |
| Titan8990 | Fuzzy, just use nautilus | 19:27 |
| Titan8990 | Fuzzy, Places -> connect to server | 19:27 |
| Seracht | hi...i accidently changed my dots per pixel to 720...how do I change it to 96....can't ee shit | 19:27 |
| Seracht | *see | 19:27 |
| Titan8990 | fuzzy, select FTP | 19:27 |
| oskude | Fuzzy, you gotta be kidding ? it says "login incorrect" and you dont think it may be a wrong username or password ? (i agree, it could be more verbose) | 19:27 |
| MadsRH | Can anyone tell me why my NVIDIA TV-out only is black/white? I installed "NVIDIA X Sever settings" from Add/remove and I'm using the TwinView configuration | 19:28 |
| ikonia | Seracht: you can start by moderating your language please | 19:28 |
| Titan8990 | Oskude, sometimes it can be an unsupported AUTH type | 19:28 |
| _moro_bana_ | ikonia: thanks,just that I have desktop and a new laptop.now that I know there wont be any problem I can sell my desktop | 19:28 |
| Titan8990 | Oskude, for example, Opera won't authenticate to NTLM | 19:28 |
| oskude | MadsRH, are you using S-Video or Composite ? | 19:28 |
| oskude | Titan8990, nice to know, thanks! | 19:28 |
| Fuzzy | Titan8990, what is the default port? | 19:29 |
| MadsRH | oskude: Actually, I'm not sure | 19:29 |
| oskude | Titan8990, but shouldnt it give a proper error for that ? | 19:29 |
| Titan8990 | Fuzzy, default FTP port is 21 | 19:29 |
| MadsRH | oskude: It works just fine with colors in XP / Vista | 19:29 |
| nickrud | Seracht, this in gnome? did you set it in appearances->fonts? | 19:29 |
| oskude | MadsRH, how does the cable to your TV look like ? one big hole in the middle = composite, or like 5 (or so) small holes = s-video | 19:29 |
| Titan8990 | oskude, not from my experience, I have had to use a packet analyzer (wireshark) in the past to find out that it was incompatabilities in authentication mechs | 19:30 |
| oskude | Titan8990, lol | 19:30 |
| MadsRH | oskude -> S-video ;-) | 19:30 |
| oskude | MadsRH, hmm, then look in nvidia settings that s-video is selected, or something | 19:30 |
| oskude | MadsRH, i had this black&white problem too, it was cause the composite was sending in RGB and not in PAL (may be NTSC in your land) | 19:31 |

| Seracht | also, another thing. on my laptop when I increase and decrease brightness I notice that it does 2 clicks....how cna I change that | 19:35 |
| Abracadabr4 | I have tried to setupthe connection in networking | 19:35 |
| The_Joe_ | bluedragon, Turn on "Rotate cube" and "Desktop cube", disable Desktop wall | 19:35 |
| The_Joe_ | bluedragon, In General Settings set Virtual Desktop size (vertical or something like that) to 4 | 19:35 |
| Titan8990 | Abracadabr4, does this command give any results: sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning | 19:35 |
| oskude | Fuzzy, but firefox for ftp not good anyway, try nautilus, it can even write to ftp! | 19:35 |
| ferfactor | how can I install IDE to mono? | 19:36 |
| persei | pb with grub . I've just installed Ubuntu, but asked the install not to install grub, as ubuntu is on my second HD, and I have Windows on my first HD with grub installed there. Pb is that my previous linux install was fedora not Ubuntu, so now when i boot, I have "grub error 22". is there a rescue mode to allow me to reinstall the grub loader on my windows hd ? | 19:36 |

| Titan8990 | Abracadabr4, the symptoms you are having are typically from the wrong driver being loaded in to the kernel | 19:38 |
| TheFunkbomb | Here is the story. I didn't know if I'd like Ubuntu so I set my 60 gig hard drive up as a like a 53/47% split with Windows being higher. Well, I only plan on using windows for a few minor things | 19:38 |
| Fuzzy | oskude, ook | 19:38 |

| Titan8990 | Abracadabr4, one at a time, not sure the ruling here on multiple line copy and paste | 19:43 |

| bthornton | Is ALSA being obsolesced by by PulseAudio in Ubuntu?? | 19:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | persei, see the grub tutorial.. | 19:44 |

| __8472 | hi. i have a small problem with my sound in 8.10. to be more precise, e.g. when using rhythmbox, and listening to live radio stream, then the sound without problem. but when i listen to some mp3/ogg music, then the sound is strange on the output, mostly spoiled bass. same thing when listening to radio stream, but not live stream, just i think music from the record, like those streams which are default in the rhythmbox HBR1.com. so, what to hell is wro | 19:44 |
| __8472 | ng with my sound? | 19:44 |
| Slart_ | bthornton: afaik they are different things | 19:44 |
| bthornton | okay, so when given the option to use OSS, Alsa, or PulseAudio as an audio output source, I should likely choose PulseAudio? | 19:44 |
| jane81 | Gnea: I'm back | 19:45 |
| xinel | samcroft11: have u tried adding another panel? | 19:45 |
| Abracadabr4 | Titan8990: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 050d:0237 Belkin Components | 19:45 |
| Titan8990 | bthornton, pulseaudio is used to stream audio accross the network or use your own audio by multiple devices | 19:45 |
| bthornton | I've chosen ALSA in the past | 19:45 |
| Titan8990 | bthornton, pulseaudio is not configured by default | 19:45 |
| Slart_ | bthornton: If I understand things correctly pulseaudio works with audio streams, mixing etc.. but it still uses alsa to actually play/record the audio | 19:45 |
| __8472 | hi. i have a small problem with my sound in 8.10. to be more precise, e.g. when using rhythmbox, and listening to live radio stream, then the sound without problem. but when i listen to some mp3/ogg music, then the sound is strange on the output, mostly spoiled bass. same thing when listening to radio stream, but not live stream, just i think music from the record, like those streams which are default in the rhythmbox HBR1.com. so, what to hell is wro | 19:45 |

| `Cray | Hello, I have a question for anyone who knows about Ubuntu software....well, a couple of questions really. | 19:47 |
| __8472 | Slart_: well, i'm not aware of it, where can i check that? | 19:47 |
| Slart_ | iShock: have you tried another CD? another brand of CD's? sometimes cd/dvd burners can be picky like that | 19:47 |
| Seracht | ikonia, do you know hwo to change how much your screen changes brightness with laptops | 19:47 |
| Titan8990 | `Cray, just ask your question and if someone knows, they will respond | 19:47 |
| Seracht | because the steps are really large on my laptop at the moment | 19:47 |
| ikonia | Seracht: it varies from laptop to laptop | 19:47 |
| `Cray | 1. Is there any p2p software like Warez, or Limewire? | 19:48 |
| iShock | Slart_: I can burn CDs, but apparently not DVDs, I don't have another brand and can't go out and get one. | 19:48 |
| Slart_ | __8472: I'm not really sure.. I just recalled that my sound system sounds weird and weak if I only use for example the back speakers in a 5.1 system | 19:48 |
| `Cray | 2. Is there any software that allows you to create characters for the roleplaying game Vampire the Masquerade. | 19:48 |
| fosco_ | `Cray: 1. yes, lots of them: amule, limewire... | 19:48 |
| ikonia | iShock: is it possible it's not a dvd burner ? | 19:48 |
| Slart_ | iShock: of course, there might be some other reason for it.. | 19:48 |
| Titan8990 | `Cray, I believe frostwire is in the repositories | 19:48 |
| atlef | !frostwire | Cray | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Cray: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 19:48 |
| `Cray | There is limewire for Ubuntu? | 19:48 |
| roger__ | yes | 19:49 |
| Slart_ | !p2p | 19:49 |
| * `Cray is completely shocked. | 19:49 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info frostwire | 19:49 |
| iShock | ikonia: I vaguely remember burning one before, how can I check for sure? | 19:49 |
| Titan8990 | I would avoid limewire personally | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Package frostwire does not exist in intrepid | 19:49 |
| roger__ | google limewire for linux | 19:49 |
| Titan8990 | `Cray, they bundled their windows version with malware for a long time | 19:49 |
| ikonia | iShock: look at the model brand | 19:49 |
| ikonia | iShock: look in the bios what it's seen as | 19:49 |
| Seracht | actually ikonia, what is happening is that when I press the brightness up once, it does 2 steps | 19:49 |
| `Cray | What would you people suggest for p2p software then? | 19:49 |
| __8472 | Slart_: it could be it, but where to find that kind of setting | 19:49 |
| Seracht | sometimes I can make it do 1 step, but other times it does 2 steps it's really wierd | 19:49 |
| iShock | ikonia: You're telling me to restart to check something instead of running something in a terminal? | 19:50 |
| Slart_ | __8472: as I said, I'm not really sure... don't know how I would configure something like that in linux/ubuntu | 19:50 |
| atlef | !frostwire > `Cray | 19:50 |

| jfry | adaptr: what's the whole command? I can't seem to make "mount /dev/sda1 -o remount" work | 19:59 |
| Titan8990 | Pedrolito, from the terminal just type: alsa mixer | 20:00 |

| jw144000 | Hi, I'm still having problems installing Flash Player for Ubuntu 8.10. I tried installing the tar.gz and it wouldn't work | 20:00 |
| Titan8990 | Pedrolito, sorry, that was supossed to be one word: alsamixer | 20:00 |
| jw144000 | It said something to the effect of, "Your architecture x86-64 is not supported", what is the problem? | 20:01 |
| === Funny-Bunny is now known as basileus | ||
| Titan8990 | jw144000, you are trying to install 32bit software on a 64bit OS | 20:01 |
| Titan8990 | jw144000, from what it sounds like | 20:02 |
| Pedrolito | Titan8990, alsamixer gives me only two controls: "master" and "capture" for pulseaudio | 20:02 |
| Titan8990 | jw144000, also. you should always try to install from the repositories first | 20:02 |
| jw144000 | Titan8990: How can I install a 64-bit version of Flash from the repositories (I'm new to this Ubuntu stuff)? | 20:02 |
| spikeb | the 64bit version of flash isnt available in the repos i dont think | 20:03 |
| Titan8990 | Pedrolito, try using sudo pedrolito | 20:03 |
| Titan8990 | jw144000, I was under the impression that there wasn't 64bit flash for Linux | 20:03 |
| Pedrolito | Titan8990, same thing | 20:03 |
| Titan8990 | jw144000, a major reason it isn't as popular as 32bit | 20:03 |
| LnxSlck | there is now | 20:03 |
| SlimeyPete | I have flash on my 64-bit system | 20:04 |
| Titan8990 | Pedrolito, that was my only idea Pedrolito | 20:04 |
| Pedrolito | Titan8990, ok, thanks for the help | 20:04 |
| spikeb | there's an alpha available. also, doesn't the package manager take care of that sort of thing sort of automatically? | 20:04 |
| Titan8990 | Yes, if you have 64bit Ubuntu it should only add the 64bit repository | 20:04 |

| RonPaul | lasivian: you need to download the compiz config utility through synaptic i think. are you talking about desktop effects? | 20:06 |
| Titan8990 | Zaher: type this in the terminal: sudo apt-get install wine | 20:06 |
| jopa | i'm on 8.04 32bit. I'm trying to play a dvd but when I try with movie player (xine backend) it says it cannot play, and asks if i'm trying to play without libdvdcss, but I can't find it in synaptic. | 20:06 |
| gianfranco | <kkkduifjalsdd> type free from command line | 20:06 |
| jane81 | anyone that can help me? I am trying to install pulsaudio | 20:07 |
| winston | Hi, I'm trying to add my university's mirrors so I can download updates faster, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it... Can someone walk me though it? | 20:07 |
| Titan8990 | RonPaul, compiz is install by default, you just have to install ccsm | 20:07 |
| I_Am | upgrading to 9.04 wish me luck | 20:07 |
| RonPaul | yeah sorry that's what i meant | 20:07 |
| fprintf | I_Am, Good luck! | 20:07 |
| jane81 | i cannot find pulsaudio preferences | 20:07 |
| user___ | I_Am: i do wish look, 904 is alpha | 20:07 |
| Titan8990 | winston, you just need to add them to /ect/apt/sources.list | 20:07 |
| atlef | Zaher: or add deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt intrepid main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" to your sources.list | 20:07 |
| Zaher | Titan8990: thank u. i will try it | 20:07 |
| Titan8990 | winston, follow to format of the existing repositories | 20:07 |
| noodlesgc | I_AM you can get support with 9.04 in #ubuntu+1 | 20:08 |
| Titan8990 | winston, its pretty straightforward | 20:08 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | gianfranco: thx, but what if i want to know from which manufacturor it is | 20:08 |
| spikeb | jopa, if you open a terminal and type sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh it will install libdvdcss | 20:08 |
| Lasivian | RonPaul: No, I used to be able to grab a window on the desktop with the mouse and if I pulled it to the edge of the screen it would change desk workspaces | 20:08 |
| Lasivian | RonPaul: OH! I did shut off desktop effects, that's probably the reason, thank you | 20:09 |
| jane81 | anyone know where pulsaudio preferences is? | 20:09 |
| spikeb | be nice if the codec manager thingy took care of that. | 20:09 |
| winston | Titan8990: so the ubuntu mirror is http://mirror.mst.edu/pub/linux/ubuntu/, I need to add deb http://mirror.mst.edu/pub/linux/ubuntu/ and then intrepid multiverse?? | 20:10 |
| Titan8990 | There is an excellent media tutorial on the Ubuntuforums | 20:10 |

| Peteed | is there an alternative to useing skype? | 20:10 |
| spikeb | and the wiki Titan8990 | 20:10 |
| Titan8990 | winston, yes, but that will only work if your university has intrepid repositories | 20:10 |
| spikeb | Peteed, not unless everyone involved in the call is using the alternative. | 20:10 |

But now, I do not know which partition to mount ? /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ? second question, I read I need to create a /mnt/root/boot partition. | 20:15 |

| Titan8990 | persei, mount | 20:16 |
| Titan8990 | persei, df -h | 20:16 |
| winston | Titan8990: Alright, do I need to do anything to make that the primary source? And is there a quick way to test it to make sure I didn't mess up?? | 20:16 |
| spikeb | hmm | 20:16 |
| persei | Titan8990: I did fdisk -l | 20:16 |
| spikeb | jopa, that's weird. should have installed libdvdcss for you. wonder if that isnt the problem, then | 20:17 |
| Titan8990 | JaimeRave, alright, have you installed you nvidia drivers? | 20:17 |
| Titan8990 | persei, and you were still not able to determine which disk was which? | 20:17 |
| jopa | spikeb: could i possibly be getting the same error if the regionset it wrong? | 20:17 |

| spikeb | jopa, sounds possible | 20:17 |
| dragon_ | Getting Application: Plasma Workspace (plasma), signal SIGSEGV | 20:17 |
| atlef | dragon_: nothing special | 20:17 |
| n8tuser2 | persei -> you do this, as root on livecd, fdisk -l to tell which partition is which | 20:17 |
| JaimeRave | Titan8990: Yeah, I'm using the NVidia driver 180.11 | 20:17 |

| timebomb | how can i make a custom ubuntu server for my embedded systems that will install a customized version automatically? i just tried pxelinux but having to click through everything doesn't really cut it | 20:18 |
| Titan8990 | winston: comment out the ubuntu repositories and try to install something to test it | 20:18 |
| n8tuser2 | persei -> then in grub find /boot/grub/stage1 and make a note of which partition where stage1 is | 20:18 |
| Titan8990 | JaimeRave, have you had a kernel upgrade since you last installed your drivers? | 20:18 |
| timebomb | the netboot installer isn't really useful for that purpose | 20:18 |
| n8tuser2 | persei -> then you root (hdx,x) x,x corresponding to where stage 1 is | 20:19 |
| persei | n8tuser2: when I got that prob using fedora, I used to do : chroot /mnt/sysimage, then grub-install /dev/sda | 20:19 |
| n8tuser2 | persei -> then you setroot (hd0) assuming its in /dev/hda or /dev/sda | 20:20 |
| Titan8990 | persei, you don't have to chroot for manaul grub installation, which IMO is more reliable | 20:20 |
| n8tuser2 | persei then quit | 20:20 |
| dragon_ | Getting Application: Plasma Workspace (plasma), signal SIGSEGV | 20:20 |
| atlef | !grub | persei | 20:20 |

| atlef | persei: says it all | 20:20 |
| Titan8990 | JaimeRave, did I miss a reply from you? | 20:21 |
| n8tuser2 | persei then reboot and you should be back in business, however you may still need to modify the menu.lst so it also points to your ubuntu | 20:21 |
| JaimeRave | Titan8990: I've found the solution, i have to install nvidia-glx-180-dev. Thanks | 20:21 |

| persei | n8tuser2: yes, but I want to be sure I'm not doing it wrong, ;-) | 20:22 |
| Titan8990 | JaimeRave, np, for the future reference, everytime the Ubuntu updater updates your kernel, you need to reinstall that package | 20:22 |
| spikeb | hmm | 20:22 |
| david_ | quit | 20:22 |
| spikeb | jopa, your guess is as good as mine | 20:22 |

| Lasivian | IE. In Windows I can right-click the start menu and it has cascade/tile options | 20:23 |
| n8tuser2 | saxin -> working all the time? isnt that what you wanted? | 20:23 |
| Lasivian | I want to do that in Ubuntu/Gnome/X/whatever this thing is called, heh | 20:24 |
| Titan8990 | saxin, you shouldn't use the upgrader for servers | 20:24 |

| Lasivian | Titan8990: hrrm, not sure, | 20:25 |
| Titan8990 | dragon_, servers should not have desktops..... | 20:25 |
| saxin | n8tuser2: hehe.. when it actually is some load then yes. but now its NOTHING going on, still the harddrive is making noises. I tried reinstall dapper again, and when I did that, the nois stopped | 20:25 |
| dragon_ | Ok what about my desktop same error | 20:25 |
| Titan8990 | Lasivian, first thing is first, you have to install proprietary graphics drivers | 20:26 |
| Titan8990 | Lasivian, have you already done that? | 20:26 |
| n8tuser2 | saxin -> well its updating perhaps the index? disable beagle or those indexing apps perhaps? | 20:26 |
| Titan8990 | dragon_, no idea, was just making a comment | 20:26 |
| Lasivian | Titan8990: Compiz is installed, I do not think I am running any proprietary drivers | 20:26 |
| Lasivian | Titan8990: I am using an Aspire One | 20:27 |
| saxin | n8tuser2: Yeah, I think I will try that. But how ? | 20:27 |
| spikeb | cool Lasivian | 20:27 |
| Titan8990 | Lasivian, compiz is installed by default but it can't be enabled without the use of proprietary grapchics (most of the time) | 20:27 |
| Titan8990 | Lasivian, what type of GPU does the laptop have? | 20:27 |
| n8tuser2 | saxin -> i dont know the intimate details, google for beagle+indexing+ubuntu | 20:27 |
| spikeb | the aspire one has gma950 | 20:28 |
| Lasivian | Titan8990: Searching | 20:28 |
| Lasivian | Titan8990: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 | 20:28 |
| Titan8990 | spikeb, can you confim whether or not the drivers for that support opengl and compiz? | 20:28 |
| spikeb | Titan8990, they do, or should. | 20:28 |
| saxin | n8tuser2: no beagle package is installed | 20:29 |
| Titan8990 | Lasivian, alright, install compizconfigsettingsmanager from synaptic | 20:29 |
| Lasivian | whoa | 20:29 |
| Titan8990 | Lasivian, or from aptitude, whichever you prefer | 20:29 |
| n8tuser2 | saxin -> look for something equivalent that does indexing | 20:29 |
| Lasivian | yes sir | 20:29 |
| Zzeiss | Titan8990: What will let it run that's not proprietary? | 20:29 |
| Titan8990 | Zzeiss, not 100% but I think some of the open source intel drivers support openGL | 20:30 |
| saxin | n8tuser2: you know how I can list what programs using cpu etc? | 20:30 |
| saxin | from cli | 20:30 |

| user___ | ohohoho | 20:37 |
| naxa | um i don't know if the floodbot filtered my question or not | 20:37 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: just kidding mate... that sounds like a pain though | 20:37 |
| naxa | my q was | 20:38 |
| naxa | >well,this is not ubuntu but.. i am trying to port forwarding on an openwrt (older ver) kamikaze router (asus wl500gp 1) with the following /etc/firewall.user: http://www.revai.hu/~colombus/firewall_user.txt and iptables -L says this http://www.revai.hu/~colombus/iptables.txt but the forwarding actually doesn't work. required ports are open on destination (192.168.10.195) | 20:38 |
| * cweigle has officially decided it was not worth upgrading to intrepid quite yet | 20:38 | |
| naxa | sorry if it was not filtered | 20:38 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: you can get pretty cheap, close to component pricing, rack servers at silicon mechanics... MS can see linux filesystems over the network using samba | 20:38 |
| poboy975linux | hi got a question...I have intrepid, with virtualbox ose installed running winxp...I have installed the guest additions, and also gotten the bridge setup so I have access to network computers....but I cant print to network pirinter...I can see printer, but nothing prints | 20:39 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> once more, have you done the required tutorial yet on firewall and iptables? these are advance topics | 20:39 |
| The_Joe_ | I'm about to reinstall Windows on my second HDD - will I have any problems with GRUB? | 20:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_, yes | 20:39 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: yes? :) | 20:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !grub | 20:39 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:39 |
| ugarit | klasikahl thanks | 20:39 |
| lolwut | can someone help me figure out how to get going with mac f ilesharing, I am looking at the tutorial but do not know what to do when it says : First, however you will need to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://interreality.org/software/debian unstable main | 20:39 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_, follow ubottu' | 20:39 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> you must be a fast learner... now what is your Policies? | 20:39 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_, err links, you will need to reinstall grub | 20:40 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: i don'tknow how stable it would be, but i would be worrid about running a production mission critical server over a samba mount on a raid'd nas | 20:40 |

| n8tuser2 | naxa -> please dont, i called you on your bluff, so please re-read the tutorials on iptables! | 20:41 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: i use a fair amount of shared network filesystems at work and i can tell you for sure that if it is an intensive database, you may incur extra processing time due to i/o overhead | 20:41 |
| Virus | Hello everyone! | 20:41 |
| Titan8990 | lol @ the bluff | 20:41 |
| ugarit | klasikahl thanks | 20:41 |
| klasikahl | you may = you will | 20:41 |
| klasikahl | and it's a big hit | 20:41 |

| ugarit | klasikahl: would a 'native' windows os on the NAS be better at IO? | 20:42 |
| ugarit | :-) | 20:42 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, don't follow that tutorial | 20:42 |
| ugarit | shouldnt SAN be used instead of NAS for Mission critical? | 20:43 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: thanks. after i did that.. I'll be back! :) | 20:43 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, if you add a debian repository to your sources you will likely lose support on forums and in IRC | 20:43 |
| lolwut | Titan8900: ok, would you please walk me through what to do, it is important I get this done today | 20:43 |
| SpaceBass | hey folks | 20:43 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: you know, i'm not entirely sure about that because i'm fortunate enough to not have to worry about such things (all nix environment), but MSFT may have some magic in server2008 for shared FS | 20:43 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, MACs can use smb like linux by default | 20:43 |
| SpaceBass | anyone know about cryptofs under 8.10? | 20:43 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, as well as NFS | 20:43 |
| cweigle | Well I officially am leaving, later. | 20:43 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: it's really very similar. | 20:43 |
| Virus | lolwut just edit sources.list | 20:43 |
| SpaceBass | for instance, which package provides cryptofs? | 20:43 |
| ugarit | klasikahl thanks again | 20:43 |
| vigo | I ran a command that was supposed to clean up leftover files from installs, but I forgot the other command to clean up .tmp or internet junk , if any can assist this time I will cpy/pste , thank you | 20:44 |
| n8tuser2 | ugarit -> for that amount of data 5TB i think you may want to consider investing good money on a good system, data is your livelyhood(sp?) | 20:44 |
| bioshake | anyone here familiar with wireless networking with a router and a bridge? | 20:44 |
| === Flaw is now known as Away | ||
| === Away is now known as Flaw | ||
| SpaceBass | bioshake, whats the question? | 20:44 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: hmm.. this tutorial actually fails when it is trying to guess that i have man installed on my router ;) | 20:44 |
| lolwut | Titan8990: I am not very savvy with linux yet and any way you can help me get a home network up and running would be a tremendous help, I need to be able to access files of this ubuntu box with 2 macbooks | 20:44 |
| bioshake | I"m just wondering how you can access the hardware bridge after you've made the connection to the router | 20:44 |
| deany | vigo: sudo apt-get install clean | 20:44 |
| bioshake | ie: it's web interface | 20:45 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> what fails? a man installed on the router? what? | 20:45 |
| The_Joe__ | Jack_Sparrow, Sorry - incredible lag | 20:45 |
| vigo | deany: Thank you | 20:45 |
| deany | vigo: oops, sorry, didnt read it fully | 20:45 |
| ehazlett | i get "Inquiry failed. Connection timed out..." when trying to use hcitool scan... | 20:45 |
| === The_Joe__ is now known as The_Joe_ | ||
| SpaceBass | bioshake, the bridge will retain an IP address | 20:45 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: i don't have man on my router. that was a joke anyway. | 20:45 |
| deany | .tmp is cleaned on reboot.. | 20:45 |
| vigo | deany: ok | 20:45 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, I don't know much about MAC OS | 20:45 |
| Bax | I've been trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, but even after following these instructions [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades], I get this error message [http://paste.ubuntu.com/103630/] and then this message [http://paste.ubuntu.com/103631/]. Can anybody help me out? | 20:45 |
| klasikahl | ugarit: NAS vs SAN... i mean if you use iscsi, (exporting partitions) you have filesystem problems because you need a clustered, shared locking file system (OCFS2, apple's xSAN, etc).... nfs, samba, they handle locking already and you don't need something like iscsi, but samba is not the best for performance, AFAIK | 20:45 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, but I do know it can handle window shares by default | 20:45 |
| bioshake | I'm looking in my router status for wireless connections and its IP address is 0.0.0.0 | 20:45 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: i mean i really don't have man on router but i can find it on google. | 20:45 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut: use this guide to setup a SAMBA server, which is the same as windows shares: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 20:46 |
| n8tuser2 | naxa -> do you want me to give you good advise or half baked one? | 20:46 |
| deany | apt-get clean just cleans the downloaded packages that are installed.. | 20:46 |
| saxin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 20:46 |
| deany | the debs | 20:46 |
| Kruppstahl | I am trying to compile something, the error is "zlib is needed"... but I have zlib already installed, what should I do? | 20:46 |
| The_Joe_ | Jack_Sparrow, Yeah - same question. Problems with GRUB | 20:46 |
| deany | which can amount to quite a bit | 20:46 |
| naxa | n8tuser2: give it a go. a good one for sure. | 20:46 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, I have a feeling there is a better way since MAC OS is bsd based it likely include NFS but if you need it now, go with SAMBA | 20:46 |
| gerber | do you any free point of sale that works with ubuntu / | 20:46 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, you trying to share files with a mac? | 20:47 |
| bioshake | also, i have one other question - does anyone have a sure fire way to stop ubuntu from crashes on reboot / shutdown when you have mounted shares using smb or cifs? | 20:47 |
| Titan8990 | Kruppstahl, you likely need zlib-dev | 20:47 |
| bioshake | and - why have the devs not fixed this bug that's been idenitifed and around for years | 20:47 |
| Kruppstahl | Titan8990: thx, ill try that | 20:47 |
| Titan8990 | Kruppstahl, when compiling, you always need -dev version of a library | 20:47 |
| Kruppstahl | k | 20:47 |
| vigo | deany: it ran pretty fast and got some junk out..I am having issues with updates cause some of the stuff is redundant | 20:47 |
| n8tuser2 | gerber -> those php based ones works i believe, not sure how well they work with barcode readers as inputs | 20:48 |
| SpaceBass | bioshake, the bridge should get an ip address for itself, but it not, you could staticly set one | 20:48 |
| The_ManU_212 | hi i use hardy and want to use my saa7134 with vlc, anyone can help? | 20:48 |
| lolwut | SpaceBass: yess, I do not own any winboxes, just this ubuntu desktop and 2 macbooks, I want to use this box so that the macbooks can get pics/music/and video from it | 20:48 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, there is a linux implementation of Apple File Sharing called netatalk that rocks | 20:48 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, will let you connect to the linux box via afp from the mac | 20:48 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, it makes your linux box very useful as a file server for macs | 20:49 |
| lolwut | SpaceBass: is it fairly easy to get going? | 20:49 |
| mrwes | lolwut: you can use mt-daap for music, and itunes on your MAC will see the share | 20:49 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, easier than samba :D but requires some file editing | 20:49 |

| mrwes | lolwut: it's actually called Firefly media server now | 20:50 |
| atlef | !grub | The_Joe_ | 20:50 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_, you asked that question 5min ago, someone gave you a perfect link and I secounded the following of that link | 20:50 |
| ubottu | The_Joe_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:50 |
| n8tuser2 | The_Joe_ -> remove the 1st disk? so your sure you only have windows | 20:50 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, my attention is spread a little thin, but happy to help as I can | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_Joe_, See the link on how to fix grub after reinstalling windows | 20:50 |
| pingyofdoom | (I am running a laptop and I want my harddrive to turn off and be more productive) | 20:50 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_, whats the problem? | 20:50 |
| Orfeo | I'm about to throw Ubuntu on my laptop and I have a recovery partition (that I want to keep) so I'll be allowed one less partition. When I create a 'logical' to put two other partitions on how do I specify this? And which should go on there of root, home and swap? | 20:50 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, start with installing it, sudo apt-get install netatalk | 20:50 |
| The_Joe_ | Titan8990, I was lagging out | 20:50 |
| bioshake | SpaceBass: I think its a glitch on the dlink router that's showing the IP address as 0.0.0.0 instead of what it really is | 20:50 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_, ah, np | 20:50 |
| lolwut | okay, and if mrwes wants to help too!, that would be awesome! | 20:50 |
| The_Joe_ | Right I'll try the link | 20:50 |
| SpaceBass | bioshake, when it comes to dlink that doesnt surprise me :D | 20:50 |
| Titan8990 | The_joe_, the windows bootloader will overwrite grub, it just needs to be reinstalled | 20:51 |
| The_Joe_ | Titan8990, Right ok, the last time I did it I was told to use "fixmbr" - hell. | 20:51 |
| n8tuser2 | Orfeo -> yes, use the manual partitioning and create the extended partitions for /, /home and /swap | 20:51 |
| pingyofdoom | Does anyone know how to optimize my SDA for laptop usage using sdparm?> | 20:51 |
| lolwut | mrwes, titan8990, I have the eudo apt-get netatalk now | 20:51 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, and mrwes has a good suggestion, for sharing music, firefly works well... but its better for sharing existing audio files, not as an itunes library replacement | 20:51 |
| === erik_ is now known as Guest43805 | ||
| bioshake | if I plug a computer into the switch on the bridge and do a tracert, will it be using the bridge as gateway, or will it just use the router? | 20:51 |
| mrwes | lolwut: try here http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/ | 20:52 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_: fixmbr will only fix the windows boot, it wont let you boot in to ubuntu | 20:52 |
| SpaceBass | bioshake, ti will use the router as the gateway | 20:52 |
| mrwes | lolwut: I run it on my Ubuntu box for mp3 shares over the network | 20:52 |
| Titan8990 | The_Joe_: for that, you have to reinstall grub | 20:52 |
| n8tuser2 | bioshake -> it will use whatever is in front of it | 20:52 |
| bioshake | dammnit is there any other way I can find its IP? | 20:52 |
| The_Joe_ | Titan8990, Yes. That's why I was checking | 20:52 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, follow along with them, they knew more about the mac os specifics | 20:52 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, just remember, that with firefly you won't be playing any DRM'ed content from itunes | 20:52 |
| vigo | Is that SunxVM virtual box any good? | 20:52 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, so you installed netatalk? | 20:52 |
| n8tuser2 | vigo -> seems very good to me | 20:53 |
| atlef | vigo: yes | 20:53 |
| Titan8990 | vigo: yes, virtualbox is fine | 20:53 |
| bioshake | vigo, i like it | 20:53 |
| vigo | Thank you, seems to work nice | 20:53 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, on a mac, in the finder click GO menu --> connect to server then enter afp://<ip address of linux box> and click ok | 20:53 |
| Titan8990 | vigo: unless you need something HIGHLY configurable use vbox, otherwise use qemu/kvm | 20:53 |
| lolwut | SpaceBass: yes, and for the record I have a ton of movies and music and pics that i want to be able to acess with my macbook, so we can use thae macbook hooked to the tv as an htpc | 20:53 |
| bioshake | its free, fast and even supports mounting of isos | 20:53 |
| Kruppstahl | thank you Titan8990, installing the zlib dev did the trick | 20:53 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, after we get this working, you have to let me sell you on Boxee too :D | 20:53 |
| djungelkraem | are seagate barracuda hdds any good? or should i go with samsung spinpoint? | 20:53 |
| Titan8990 | Kruppstahl, good hear :) | 20:54 |
| SpaceBass | djungelkraem, 6 in one, 1/2 dozen in the other :d | 20:54 |
| eseven73 | Titan8990 why would anyone use qemu/kvm over Vbox ? | 20:54 |
| lolwut | SpaceBass, there is my first lolmoment, I wouldnt have the foggiest how to find out the ip of this desktop, but brb grabbing macbook | 20:54 |
| n8tuser2 | lolwut -> you may want to look into IceCast to do the streaming for you, linux hosting it and you can use any clients | 20:54 |
| rblst | how can i configure my intrepid to have dual screens? | 20:54 |
| cuchy | hola | 20:54 |

| Titan8990 | woofsie, post your question, if someone can help they will | 20:56 |
| rblst | is there no generic way, SpaceBass? | 20:56 |
| Titan8990 | woofsie, you have to use sudo when you open it | 20:56 |
| Titan8990 | woofsie, example: sudo nano /etc/hosts | 20:56 |
| SpaceBass | rblst, there may be, but I know that nvidia has a slick gui app for it | 20:56 |
| Woofsie | oh okay | 20:56 |
| deany | brb | 20:56 |
| Woofsie | i wasn't using the terminal, thanks | 20:56 |

| CheesyMcPuffs | Woofsie, type: gksudo nautilus | 20:57 |
| Titan8990 | woofsie, you can use a GUI editor like so: gksu gedit /etc/hosts | 20:57 |
| SpaceBass | Woofsie, and theres a gui app too... something like gsudo that executes gui apps as root... and there's a sudo-enabled gui editor too...not sure what its called | 20:57 |
| atlef | Woofsie: alt+f2 gksu gedit and open your file | 20:57 |
| The_Joe_ | Ook I hope this work | 20:57 |
| The_Joe_ | s | 20:57 |
| Titan8990 | woofsie, I have to recommend against opening a file manager as root just to edit a config file | 20:57 |

| SpaceBass | i think you can right click on the connection icon in the upper right corner | 20:58 |

| lolwut | SpaceBass, I think a 192.168 is for the router | 21:01 |
| gfather1 | Titan8990 no | 21:02 |
| SpaceBass | lolwut, everything on your network will start with 192.168.1.X and X will be different for each machine | 21:02 |
| gfather1 | Titan8990 like when i want to install some packages , like 4 packages , 2 works , and 2 dont | 21:02 |
| gfather1 | same with update . | 21:02 |
| Titan8990 | gfather1, have you manually added reporsitories? | 21:03 |
| lolwut | SpaceBass, when I go to system/admin/network none of them are 192 | 21:03 |
| gfather1 | Titan8990 that could be , not sure , im using a vmware one that has some development tools | 21:03 |
| BedPost | hey, can someone help me with installing ubuntu? I'm have a weird video related issue | 21:03 |
| Flannel | BedPost: What's the issue? | 21:04 |
| Titan8990 | gfather1, you will probably need to remove any additions you have to /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:04 |
| BedPost | Well, I first tried to install ubuntu with the normal 8.10 iso, however, when I hit the "install ubuntu" command, my screen just went white | 21:04 |
| gfather1 | Titan8990 ok , ill chek it now to see if there otehr than ubuntu stuff, thanks | 21:04 |
| Titan8990 | gfather1, likely one of the repositories you have added no longer exists | 21:04 |
| Flannel | gfather1: What's the message you're getting for the two that dont? | 21:04 |
| rblst | is there a spimle way to configure my intrepid to have dual screens? | 21:05 |
| lolwut | Flannel, in Gnome, where can I find my IP | 21:05 |
| Titan8990 | gfather, also run: sudo apt-get update | 21:05 |
| gfather1 | Flannel one sec | 21:05 |
| Flannel | lolwut: Uh.... which IP? | 21:05 |
| Titan8990 | gfather1, after you do that | 21:05 |
| BedPost | So I got the alt cd, and that let me install completely, but once I did that and tried to boot into ubuntu, I got the white screen again (I could hear the login drums tho) | 21:05 |
| gfather1 | Titan8990 did that , i get same message after some updates :( | 21:05 |
| andresj | hey I want to add a new keyboard layout to my computer, to appear in the list along with "USA International (with dead keys)", "USA International (with AltGr dead keys)", "USA", "USA Macintosh", …. How do I do this? | 21:05 |
| Juppalo | rblst: Probably, depending on your system | 21:05 |
| BedPost | I can even login, but no video | 21:05 |
| enovativ | is there a reason i can not use mkdosfs on my copy of ubuntu ? | 21:05 |
| timebomb | can i do a netinstall over wireless? | 21:05 |
| Titan8990 | gfather1, post here the specific ones that are failing | 21:05 |
| enovativ | trying to create a bootable usb stick | 21:05 |
| Flannel | timebomb: Yes | 21:05 |
| rblst | Juppalo: that is? | 21:05 |
| mud | hey all; there is a switch for reinstalling a package using apt-get that replaces the conf files in /etc when doing 'apt-get install samba' what is this switch again.. anyone can help me out? | 21:06 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, what is wrong with ifconifg? | 21:06 |
| Flannel | timebomb: If your hardware is supported by the installer (which is less likely) | 21:06 |
| Titan8990 | lolwut, err ifconfig i mean | 21:06 |
| Juppalo | rblst: do you have a nvidia card? | 21:06 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: ext2 is pretty much bootable. | 21:06 |
| enovativ | i want to use mkdosfs before i use parted | 21:06 |
| barduck | Hi, I need some help. I installed 8.04 server and upgraded to 8.10 server and ubuntu still doesn't recognize my NIC. If I just boot to 8.10 liveCD the NIC works fine. How do I make ubuntu server to just redetect my network hardware and setup the correct drivers and all ? | 21:06 |
| lolwut | Flannel, I am trying to set up a network between this ubuntu box and 2 macbooks, so I need the ip of this desktop I think (I have a lynksis router too) | 21:06 |
| rblst | Juppalo: i have an intel card | 21:06 |
| timebomb | Flannel: i think the ethernet driver is broken | 21:06 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: i am trying to create a bootable usb stick to install windows xp on a different box | 21:06 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: use mkdosfs at your will. parted will use mk*fs too. | 21:06 |
| Flannel | barduck: Are you using the -server kernel or the -generic kernel? | 21:07 |
| Titan8990 | barduck, why not just install 8.10 server instead of the upgrading? | 21:07 |
| Juppalo | rblst: aah integrated into your motherboard? | 21:07 |
| eseven73 | mud isnt it purge or something like that? | 21:07 |
| Lasivian | Linux can read msdos and ntfs, is there any unix filesystem that windows can read? | 21:07 |
| timebomb | Flannel: so i get to the installer with pexlinux but itll fail during the checking the ubuntu archive mirror part, is there any way to cancel that btw? | 21:07 |
| rblst | Juppalo: yes, a notebook | 21:07 |
| Flannel | Lasivian: Not natively, no. | 21:07 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: i want the usb stick to be bootable, and the stick is only 1 GB...so i read it was advisable to use mkdosfs first to specifiy FAT16, and then use Parted | 21:07 |
| Flannel | !ext3 | Lasivian | 21:07 |
| ubottu | Lasivian: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 21:07 |
| barduck | Titan8990: because I need to install into a USB flash key and 8.10 has some strange problem which it will not boot and 8.04 does | 21:07 |
| mud | eseven73, I removed via purge, but can't get the orginal conf's back =) | 21:08 |
| barduck | Flannel: errr...I dont know, whatever comes by default ? | 21:08 |
| Lasivian | bummer | 21:08 |
| Flannel | barduck: With the server install CD? | 21:08 |
| Titan8990 | barduck, alright, next question, 8.04 is the LTS release, does 8.10 offer a feature that your server must have? | 21:08 |
| eseven73 | mud i think you have to run the clean switch too, but im not sure. :) | 21:08 |
| barduck | Flannel: yeah | 21:08 |
| Flannel | barduck: Try switching to the generic kernel (sudo apt-get install linux-generic, reboot, choose generic at grub) | 21:09 |
| barduck | Titan8990: nope, but 8.04 didn't detect my NIC (and niether the CD ROM) . It is a very new board | 21:09 |
| persei | n8tuser2: :- | 21:09 |
| Titan8990 | barduck, what board is it? | 21:09 |
| Flannel | mud: purge samba-common, then reinstall samba | 21:09 |
| Enthralled | is everyone playing stacraft using wine in 8.10? if yes, do you have a sound dropout after 15 minutes? is the a solution? | 21:09 |
| mud | Flannel, thanks =) | 21:09 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: then use parted for what? | 21:09 |
| persei | n8tuser2: I tried what you said but "grub" gives me nothing | 21:09 |
| Juppalo | rblst: eh well the setting-manager is diffrent depending on you graphcard, but generally you should find somethn under System --> Preference | 21:09 |
| Flannel | Enthralled: You may get better help on that particular issue in #winehq | 21:09 |
| barduck | Titan8990: Intel DG45FC . according to the liveCD, it uses the e1000e module for the NIC | 21:09 |
| Flannel | mud: The reason for that is those config files are contained in teh samba-common package, so removing "samba" won't touch them | 21:10 |
| Lasivian | is ext3 superior to ntfs? | 21:10 |
| gfather1 | http://www.pastie.org/358178 | 21:10 |
| Titan8990 | barduck, does lsmod | grep e1000e return anything? | 21:10 |
| dr_willis | Lasivian, i think so. | 21:10 |
| Flannel | mud: (you can figure out what package something belongs to with dpkg -S /path/to/file) | 21:10 |
| mud | Flannel: once again.. thank you =) | 21:10 |
| gfather1 | Titan8990 , Flannel chek it out http://www.pastie.org/358178 | 21:10 |
| binarymutant | how do I get python 2.6? | 21:10 |
| barduck | Flannel: that would explain the difference between the behavior between the LiveCD and my current server install ? | 21:10 |
| rblst | Juppalo: yes, sreen resolution, with no option of dual sreen | 21:10 |
| temoto-mobi | binarymutant: python.org | 21:10 |
| Titan8990 | what kernel version is the newest 8.10 currently using? | 21:10 |
| barduck | Titan8990: no, but I can modprobe it and it loads but still no eth0 | 21:11 |
| temoto-mobi | Titan8990: 2.6.27 | 21:11 |
| aaat | hey guys can someone tell me is there in ubuntu file shredder | 21:11 |
| BedPost | Flannel: I don't think you saw this previously, so I'll retype it. When I installed ubuntu with the normal install .iso, I was given a white screen when I hit "install ubuntu". So I used the alt, text only version, and that allowed me to install it. However, when I booted in, it threw a white screen up again - I can login and hear sounds and all that, but no video display. | 21:11 |
| heatmzzr | if you have a iso file burned to disc, and the cd is the first thing to spin up, shouldnt it boot to cd? | 21:11 |
| aaat | or can i buy software? | 21:11 |
| === Enthralled is now known as cynic | ||
| dr_willis | aaat, there are file shredder tools for linux. proberly some in the repos.. Fire Up synaptic and look. | 21:11 |
| binarymutant | why isn't python 2.6 in the repos out, of curiousity? | 21:11 |
| BedPost | Flannel: Anyway you can at least point me in the right direction? You seem busy :P | 21:11 |
| Flannel | gfather1: You're still using edgy (ubuntu 6.10), which hasn't been supported for almost a year now. You really should consider upgrading. | 21:11 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: from what i read Parted was suggested to use to make a usb stick bootable | 21:11 |
| dr_willis | aaat, most likely you dont need to buy anything. | 21:11 |
| Titan8990 | barduck, even if you do ifconfig -a ? | 21:11 |
| temoto-mobi | binarymutant: they have troubles making it compatible. In every other distro too. Even in gentoo. | 21:12 |
| nickrud | !info shred | 21:12 |
| ubottu | Package shred does not exist in intrepid | 21:12 |
| gfather1 | Flannel i see , thats the problem , i thought it was 7 | 21:12 |
| aaat | dr_wills is it safe to use? from repos? | 21:12 |
| dr_willis | !find shred | 21:12 |
| binarymutant | thanks temoto-mobi | 21:12 |
| ubottu | File shred found in chuck, coreutils, kde-icons-crystal, kde-icons-crystalproject, kde-icons-gorilla (and 19 others) | 21:12 |
| aaat | i was on internet reading about it saying it's not good or can do damge | 21:12 |
| aaat | or something like that | 21:12 |
| Titan8990 | dd works just as well as shred :) | 21:12 |
| Flannel | BedPost: I saw it, yeah. What sort of graphics card do you have? (I'm horrible at graphics cards). You'll have to go to a tty (ctrl-alt-f1) and... well, fix it ;) Maybe reconfigure xorg after installing a driver package) | 21:12 |
| dr_willis | aaat, why would you not think the repos are safe? everything you allerady have installed is from the repos | 21:12 |
| Flannel | gfather1: Actually, what does `lsb_release -a` tell you? | 21:12 |
| mizipzor | im looking to automate as much as my torrentdownloads as possible, is there a torrent client that does something like check a folder for .torrent files and add everything new i drop in there? | 21:12 |
| helo | is us.archive.ubuntu.com generall slow? (~20KB/s) | 21:12 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: cfdisk can make something bootable. mk*fs is generally used after partitioning. | 21:12 |
| dr_willis | aaat, i cant comment on what youve read.. other then its wrong. | 21:13 |
| heatmzzr | if you drop to command line during startup, what is the command to spin up the cd? | 21:13 |
| Flannel | gfather1: You could potentially have edgy sources on some later version. | 21:13 |
| barduck | Titan8990: yep, eth0 isn't there, if I restart networking I get a bunch of errors with "no such device" | 21:13 |
| nickrud | helo, in my experience, yes. I always switch to another mirror | 21:13 |
| aaat | so which one is the best dr_willis | 21:13 |
| persei | running two HD, 1st one with windows, second with Ubuntu : where's it better to install the boot loader if I want to boot or Ubuntu or Windows. Previously my menu.lst looked like that : http://rafb.net/p/8Eijbk62.html | 21:13 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: do i not have to create a partition...one for the boot area...and one for the data that i want to install ? | 21:13 |
| dr_willis | aaat, no idea. Most likely it depends. | 21:13 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: it never hurts to make partition bootable after creating fs on it though. | 21:13 |
| Flannel | BedPost: The driver packages I'm speaking of would be the proprietary ones. But, I'm not really good with graphics drivers | 21:13 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: no, make one big partition. | 21:13 |
| TheAdum | So, I'm just downloading Ubuntu now (thought I would give it a try), when I install, will it be clean, and I'll lose my files? | 21:13 |
| BedPost | Flannel: I have a radeon 4870 1gb. I was getting some help from my brother, and he told me to ctrl alt f1 also - that just killed all video. My monitor threw up a no video input signal. Got any idea where I can get some more help? Forums, maybe the x.org channel? (I'm very new to ubuntu) | 21:13 |
| Titan8990 | barduck, try adding that module to /etc/modules and then rebooting | 21:14 |
| dr_willis | !info shred | 21:14 |
| ubottu | Package shred does not exist in intrepid | 21:14 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: thanks..so it was called ckfdos ? | 21:14 |
| barduck | Titan8990: lshw -c network shows the network UNCLAIMED | 21:14 |
| temoto-mobi | TheAdum: you'll have choice to either loose your files or to keep em. | 21:14 |
| dr_willis | shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it | 21:14 |
| barduck | Titan8990: I will try that | 21:14 |
| timebomb | jeez nvm Flannel i just forgot to add the netboot thing to my acl | 21:14 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: cfdisk | 21:14 |
| Flannel | dr_willis: Shred is in coreutils, it's already installed. | 21:14 |
| timebomb | thanks anyway | 21:14 |
| TheAdum | thanks Temoto | 21:14 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: like Clear Format Disk | 21:14 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: thanks i will try cfdisk..i will be back to tell you what happens | 21:14 |
| dr_willis | Flannel, :) thats what i was trying to check. heh | 21:14 |
| Flannel | BedPost: There are forums (ubuntuforums.org) and this channel can help (once someone who knows about that stuff wakes up). Your issue isn't really an install issue (since you've installed fine) | 21:14 |
| tab1293 | is there a program that will customize gnome panel? | 21:15 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: but this is not really the description. Just know that cfdisk is safer than fdisk. | 21:15 |
| Flannel | BedPost: Just so you know what sort of problem to describe in the future ;) | 21:15 |
| dr_willis | tab1293, customize in what way? | 21:15 |
| === N1ckR_ is now known as N1ckR | ||
| tab1293 | dr_willis: colors | 21:15 |
| === oem is now known as zesss | ||
| temoto-mobi | tab1293: in the world of gnome, they have customized everything for you. | 21:15 |
| BedPost | Flannel: You know who I should keep an eye out for? Also, thanks for the forum heads up. | 21:15 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: ? (not really the desciption ? ) | 21:16 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: what do you mean | 21:16 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: Clear Format Disk. This doesn't really stand for 'cfdisk' | 21:16 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: oh ok thanks.... | 21:16 |
| wfoster | sudo aptitude install hub | 21:16 |
| temoto-mobi | enovativ: maybe it's Clever or something even other. Forget it. | 21:16 |
| enovativ | temoto-mobi: lol...thanks again...about to try it out | 21:17 |
| Flannel | BedPost: Nah, it's best to just construct a decent, descriptive question, and repeat it every 30 minutes or so (while searching elsewhere at the same time)--full question will allow someone to peek in, and (potentially) answer it without any further input from you (since you can sometimes end up playing 'tag' with people), but make sure it all fits on one line. | 21:17 |

| cojo | hi all | 21:18 |
| yamazaki | Im having the hardest time, I was curious if someone could lend me their thoughts. I did a fresh install on an HP Pavillion dv6000 | 21:19 |
| yamazaki | it doesnt see any audio device | 21:19 |
| yamazaki | What I have found from google is http://affy.blogspot.com/2008/02/ubuntu-sound-not-working-on-hp.html | 21:19 |
| yamazaki | and the 4th step comes back with errors and I cannot go any further | 21:19 |

| cojo | Hi have a question. How do i watch television in Ubuntu, what palyer is the best etc? | 21:21 |
| abchirk | cojo if you mean DVBT you could use mythtv or kaffeine | 21:21 |
| cojo | which do you prefer? | 21:22 |
| abchirk | they are also useable for other TV formats I guess. | 21:22 |
| abchirk | hm mythtv was quite nice. | 21:22 |
| abchirk | The scanning was better. | 21:22 |
| cojo | i mean dvbt | 21:22 |
| Austin` | I'm having a freezing problem in ubuntu. When I save a *new* file, or remove a file, in certain directories (most common one is desktop), it freezes for a free seconds.

| Abed | ? | 21:34 |
| dr_willis | the computer:\\\ location seems messed up eh. | 21:34 |
| dr_willis | or is it computer:// | 21:34 |
| Abed | so how can i fix it? | 21:34 |
| persei | need help with grub. I guess I broke everything | 21:34 |
| oOarthurOo | Abed: First thing I'd try is removing that from your gnome toolbar. Then re-adding it. | 21:34 |
| Abed | dr_willis this is the title Could not display "computer:". | 21:34 |
| dr_willis | Abed, if it works for a newly made user. that would imply that its a user setting thats messed up. one over-kill fix - would be to reset all the gnome settings.. IF thats the case | 21:34 |
| PsWii60 | another question, how can I make it so when I double click a persons nick, a dialog box appears dr_willis ? | 21:35 |
| JHook101 | Does anyone know if the current Ubuntu package comes with a program to upload files via ftp? | 21:35 |
| dr_willis | PsWii60, no idea. I would suggest using the Xchat HELP menus.. its a very well documented IRC client | 21:35 |
| PsWii60 | Thanks | 21:35 |
| JHook101 | anyone? | 21:35 |

| balrog__ | how do i access webhttrack via my web browser? | 21:39 |
| ubuntu | can someone help me I can't seem to figure out fsck to check and repair my hard disk :( | 21:40 |
| nour | hello | 21:40 |
| ubuntu | I'm currently on a live cd verison of ubuntu so the hard disk is currently unmounted | 21:40 |
| nour | how are you? | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu you want the drives unmounted if you are going to fsck them | 21:41 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, they are currently unmounted | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu sudo fsck /dev/devicename is the normal way to fsck a filesystem | 21:41 |
| jinja-sheep | !img | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about img | 21:41 |
| balrog__ | !fsck | 21:41 |
| 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 | 21:41 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, how do I know what goes in the "devicename" spot? | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu look at the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and decide what one needs it... | 21:42 |
| balrog__ | what port do i access webhttrack on to use it in firefox? | 21:42 |
| nour | انا مستخدم جديد لنظام اوبنتو | 21:42 |
| jinja-sheep | What excellent package have the ability to create *.img ? | 21:43 |
| nour | اريد التعرف على النظام اكثر | 21:43 |

| Itaku | everytime i try to eject the cd tray it says An application is preventing the volume 'UDF Volume' from being unmounted. although im %100 no applications using it. how can i force it out? | 21:43 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, I got this message-- fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found -- is there something I need to install? | 21:43 |
| dr_willis | balrog__, i though it just cloned web sites to a local directory. you then access th files | 21:43 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu you really sould of mentioned its ntfs to begin with. :) I would STRONGLY advice using a windows machine to check ntfs filesystems. | 21:44 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, I tried but it wouldn't pick up the hard disk where ubuntu will pick it up | 21:44 |
| Itaku | everytime i try to eject the cd tray it says An application is preventing the volume 'UDF Volume' from being unmounted. although im %100 no applications using it. how can i force it out? | 21:44 |
| enovaitv-one | if a mount is read-only how do i change the permissions on that mount ? i am trying to write to my usb drive (media/disk) using cfdisk, but cfdisk tells me that it is "read-only" | 21:44 |
| enovaitv-one | is there a way to change the permissions on the mount point \media\disk ? | 21:44 |
| nickrud | !arabic | nour | 21:44 |

| Abed | dr_willis on the left side i can't find the computer icon | 21:45 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu i woudl try just mounting the ntfs drive.. and rescueing any files you want from it.. If windows is not even seeing it.. well.. thats a very very bad sign. | 21:45 |
| Bax | where can I find the binary packages for Gutsy Gibbon for an i686 or i386 architecture? | 21:46 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, hmm ok | 21:46 |
| Itaku | everytime i try to eject the cd tray it says An application is preventing the volume 'UDF Volume' from being unmounted. although im %100 no applications using it. how can i force it out? | 21:46 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, well the windows xp recovery recognizes it but the windows vista disk doesn't (the OS btw is: vista home prem) | 21:47 |
| jtaji | Itaku: sudo fuser -vki /media/cdrom | 21:48 |
| Itaku | jtaji, didnt do anything | 21:48 |
| ubuntu | I'll take your advice thanks! ;) have a good day | 21:48 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu i woud strongly suggest then tyat you access the files you really value from linux if you can and archive them someplace safe. The data may not be recoveravle in a easy way. It may not be recoverable now.. Ive learned to be very cautious with ntfs filesystems | 21:48 |
| PARTYHARD | anyone run wow under wine? i get a error 134 crash after the game loads to enter game | 21:49 |

| ubuntu | dr_willis, i can see all the files and copy... I'm doing this now - seems the ubuntu filesystem is fine but the windows one is not. I think the hdd is going bad though because it makes clicking sounds every now and then. | 21:50 |
| Corpis | i just loaded vls using the apt-get, but I cant seem to find or run it | 21:50 |
| Bax | if I can't find Gutsy Gibbon here to update from 7.04, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/, where do I go to get it? | 21:50 |
| johnnbstroud | hello parceltounge you have an acer aspire one ? | 21:50 |
| parceltounge | er.. no i don't | 21:50 |
| parceltounge | why do you ask | 21:50 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu clicking hard drive = VERY bad sign. :) i hope you are backing stuff up to some different hard drive/location. | 21:50 |
| ubuntu | yes ;) | 21:50 |
| johnnbstroud | card reader will not work for acer one | 21:51 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Clicking hard drive is a sign of a hardware failure. Back up your data immediately! | 21:51 |
| jrib | Bax: gutsy is still supported, it wouldn't be in old-releases | 21:51 |
| dr_willis | Abed, ive no idea then.. perhaos it not changeable from there. | 21:51 |

| Blinkiz | I have a Nvidia 8600GT card in my laptop. I have problem with flimmering screen on my TV when using s-video output. I using TwinView inside nvidia-settings and it sends 60Hz to my TV. I believe this is because my laptops lcd is using 60hz? It's using the same refresh rate? Can I make the tv output to be 50Hz in some way? I have a 100hz tv. | 21:51 |
| Abed | ok dr_willis i made a new user but i yet have the same problem | 21:51 |

| Corpis | i just loaded vls using the apt-get, but I cant seem to find or run it. | 21:53 |
| dr_willis | Abed, if its affecting EVERY user. even new ones.. then it sounds like some system wide setting/config/service issue. Im not sure where to begin to trouble shoot that. You may want to check the forums | 21:53 |
| Bax | jrib: yeah that link is great, but it doesn't solve this error message, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103631/ | 21:53 |
| jgarbers | have just installed ubuntu 8.1 - would like to get desktop graphic effects working. is it necessary to install the proprietary ATI drivers? | 21:53 |
| Abed | ok dr_willis thnx a lot | 21:53 |
| dr_willis | jgarbers, basicially - yes. :) | 21:53 |
| jrib | Bax: explain exactly what you are doing to upgrade | 21:53 |
| Ryan_Delaney | jgarbers: It most likely is, and would be recommended that you do so. You can try running compiz-check to verify this | 21:54 |
| Bax | jrib: all I need is the actual html address of where the gutsy update package is stored now | 21:54 |
| jrib | Bax: archive.ubuntu.com | 21:54 |

| Caboose | Okay, so I need some help. When I tried to install ubuntu of the normal .iso (32-bit), after I hit "install ubuntu" it threw up a white screen (no video, it seems). So, I downloaded the alt .iso, and installed the text only version - that worked fine, I was able to install. However, once I tried to boot into ubuntu, it threw up that white screen again. | 21:59 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Itaku: If you googlo something like "how to eject cd-rom from command line" you will probably get a result. I can't remember the command off the top of my head | 21:59 |
| Caboose | I could still login (I was going by the sounds), but no matter what, no video. It seems that ubuntu doesn't play nice with my Sapphire Radeon 4870 1GB - anyone got any ideas? Unfortunately, I'm fairly new to ubuntu, so I'll probably need some more in depth answers. Thanks in advance! | 21:59 |
| Jams44 | Ryan_Delaney: There is no appearences option. | 21:59 |

Any ideas??? | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | Corpis, you may reallyr eally want to read the vls docs.. its not a trivial, click a few times and it works.. sort of application. | 22:00 |

| ryanCH | Ryan_Delaney, what's that? | 22:04 |
| Ryan_Delaney | ryanCH: I guess not then :) | 22:04 |
| Koordin | Ryan_Delaney: i did not really understand how to use this to launch a program at a precise date | 22:05 |
| Koordin | Ryan_Delaney: should i use crontab ? | 22:05 |
| jrib | Itaku: also, a common issue is that people have a terminal cd'ed into a directory on the mounted cd | 22:05 |
| slipst | Hi, I have an LCD screen and I flipped it 90 degrees so it's "standing" instead of lying down. I went to Screen Resolution and flipped it 90 degrees there too so everything shows up as it should but now things draw on the screen really slow, and the text looks a bit fuzzy. Any idea why or how to fix it? | 22:05 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Koordin: crontab is used to schedule scripts to run at some repeatable pattern, say, once a week, or every hour | 22:05 |
| markpee | hi | 22:05 |
| Itaku | jrib, i didnt though | 22:06 |
| Ryan_Delaney | ryanCH: Usually when one has problems getting settings to 'stick', its due to permission problems | 22:06 |
| markpee | hi i want to know: is ubuntu meant to be stable with applications it runs? | 22:06 |

| Itaku | unless something like pidgin or xchat or opera is using it | 22:06 |
| jrib | markpee: sure | 22:06 |
| SlimeyPete | markpee: yes | 22:06 |
| Itaku | ubuntus screwing up | 22:06 |
| Ryan_Delaney | markpee: Most applications in the repositories should be stable, but many apps you can download else where are in beta | 22:06 |
| ryanCH | Ryan_Delaney, what should i try>? | 22:06 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Koordin: Like an alarm clock? :) | 22:06 |
| jrib | Abed: open a new terminal | 22:06 |
| Koordin | Ryan_Delaney: for instance :) | 22:06 |

| LetsGo67 | How do I load a camera in USB mass storage mode? | 22:07 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Koordin: You can use the 'sleep' command to execute a command after a certain amount of time from now | 22:07 |
| jrib | peter_: you definitely need to free up some space on /. Try 'sudo apt-get clean' for a temporary fix | 22:07 |

| Itaku | i finally get it to open | 22:08 |
| peter_ | thanks jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/103665/ | 22:08 |
| Itaku | and as soon as it opens | 22:08 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Koordin: I haven't tried it, but I would assume so. | 22:08 |
| jrib | LetsGo67: that's usually a setting on the camera itself (at least on mine) | 22:08 |
| FloodBot3 | Itaku: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:08 |
| Itaku | it goes back in? | 22:08 |
| Itaku | seriously? | 22:08 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Itaku: I honestly suspect that your CD-ROM is physically failing. | 22:08 |
| Itaku | and then the bots are being stupid thinking im flooding | 22:08 |
| BedPost | Okay, so I need some help. When I tried to install ubuntu of the normal .iso (32-bit), after I hit "install ubuntu" it threw up a white screen (no video, it seems). So, I downloaded the alt .iso, and installed the text only version - that worked fine, I was able to install. However, once I tried to boot into ubuntu, it threw up that white screen again. | 22:08 |
| BedPost | I could still login (I was going by the sounds), but no matter what, no video. It seems that ubuntu doesn't play nice with my Sapphire Radeon 4870 1GB - anyone got any ideas? Unfortunately, I'm fairly new to ubuntu, so I'll probably need some more in depth answers. Thanks in advance! | 22:08 |
| LetsGo67 | jrib, no, I'm using Kodak. :( | 22:09 |
| jrib | Itaku: because you are. Don't use enter to break up your messages | 22:09 |
| LetsGo67 | Always fails in stupid camera mode, | 22:09 |
| jrib | LetsGo67: so you can't even get at the photos with something like f-spot? | 22:09 |
| persei | please, is there someone who can guide me with grub. i 've tried many things, but I failed to make it works | 22:09 |
| zErOaCid | Hi, Why is it that I cannot open System > Preferences > Main Menu ... any ideas ? | 22:10 |
| Ryan_Delaney | persei: What is your question? | 22:10 |
| jrib | persei: state exactly what the issue is and what you are trying to do | 22:10 |
| lolwut | does anyone have the Apple File Share going with their netowrk? | 22:10 |
| balleyne | persei: have you tried supergrub? | 22:10 |
| LetsGo67 | jrib: it worked once, ever since, it stopped working. I wish it was just a drag-and-drop usb, "camera" devices make everything more complicated. | 22:10 |
| Itaku | there i swipped the cd out | 22:10 |
| jrib | zErOaCid: run 'alacarte' in a terminal | 22:10 |
| persei | I want to install grub as I asked when installing ubuntu not to install it. | 22:10 |
| Itaku | does ubuntu not let the cd out when its installed too? | 22:10 |
| zErOaCid | thanks jrib | 22:11 |
| lolwut | I cannot connect to APF, every time it tells me wrong username or pword | 22:11 |
| balleyne | BedPost: you'll probably need to boot into safe mode to install whatever drivers are needed for your graphics card, or to change your Xorg configuration | 22:11 |
| jrib | !grub > persei | 22:11 |
| ubottu | persei, please see my private message | 22:11 |
| persei | I have 2 hd, one with Windows, one with ubuntu. I want to boot or widows or ubuntu. when I ran fedora, I had the following menu.lst file : http://rafb.net/p/8Eijbk62.html | 22:11 |
| lolwut | er AFP | 22:11 |
| Sylphid | BedPost, boot to a non graphical interface login and type> less /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for a line that says Driver under Section "Device" | 22:12 |
| balleyne | persei: the supergrub live CD automates a lot of that for you | 22:12 |
| lu6cifer | when I tried uninstalling synaptic via evolution, synaptic, for some reason, removed my gnome panel and a bunch of other stuff. I got the panel back, but the fast-user switch thing in intrepid is missing...any ideas how to get it back? | 22:12 |
| lu6cifer | sorry, I meant when I tried uninstalling evolution via synaptic | 22:12 |
| Koordin | thanks Ryan_Delaney that's what i was looking for | 22:13 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Koordin: My pleasure :) | 22:13 |
| jrib | Koordin: 'at' is probably what you want | 22:13 |
| tekster | is there a gpu monitoring software available for ati cards? | 22:14 |
| Ryan_Delaney | lu6cifer: AFAIK evolution is deeply integrated with the ubuntu desktop and it is not recommended to uninstall it. | 22:14 |
| lu6cifer | ok | 22:14 |
| Koordin | thanks jrib | 22:15 |
| LetsGo67 | jrib, can you help please? | 22:16 |
| jrib | LetsGo67: what camera model? | 22:16 |
| LetsGo67 | jrib: Kodak EasyShare C340 | 22:17 |

| Moguri | I have an NVIDIA 8600m GT (a laptop card) and I'm using the restricted drivers. Sometimes the fan just revs up and stays there until I restart. However, the card's temps are like ~60*C. Any thoughts? | 22:18 |
| oxeimo1 | or kill it? | 22:18 |
| jrib | peter_: what happens when you plug it in now? | 22:18 |

| oxeimo1 | thanks | 22:18 |

| Moguri | Ryan_Delaney: Wouldn't that also mean that Windows would be having similar issues. And it doesn't rev up when I start Ubuntu. | 22:19 |
| markpee | Ryan_Delaney, i have trouble that common applications like Firefox and Amarok frequently freeze / crash | 22:20 |
| tekster | is there a gpu monitoring software available for ati cards? | 22:20 |

| Abed | guys i installed a glib library so how can i uninstall it? | 22:21 |
| jrib | Abed: you probably want glib... | 22:21 |
| Abed | jrib it causes the problem i have just told u about | 22:21 |
| tekster | Moguri: how did you see the temperature of the video card? | 22:21 |
| rblst | how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? | 22:21 |
| Moguri | tekster: Through some control panel that was installed with the drivers. | 22:22 |
| jrib | Abed: what package are you talking about exactly? And how did you determine it causes your problem? What problem exactly? | 22:22 |
| Moguri | tekster: But I can't find fan settings there. | 22:22 |
| loki_ | peter_: try making an image of the drive and use a data carving util to grab files? | 22:22 |
| tekster | oo ok, i have an ati card anyways and trying to figure out how to see the temps | 22:22 |

| rblst | how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? | 22:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | iluminator101: if yuou manually added a repository, it should have had instructions there to do it. | 22:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | _wendy_: do you know what wireless device you have? | 22:24 |
| tekster | Sylphid: thanks lemme look at it | 22:24 |
| Sylphid | tekster, you may want to look into gkrellm for monitoring as well | 22:24 |
| malacosteus | Hi. I am wondering if anyone has some ideas of things that I should check out. Ever since one of the CUPS updates about 3 weeks ago (I'm not sure which one unfortunately) I have been having a lot of problems printing. Even printing to a file takes a really long time and uses tons of processor. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CUPS. Someone suggested that I drop evince back to a previous version (I don't know why) but that didn't help. Any known con | 22:25 |
| malacosteus | flicts that I should check out? Sorry this is so vague. | 22:25 |
| === Saida is now known as Danny | ||
| _wendy_ | IndyGunFreak: i could find out | 22:25 |
| jjlee | malacosteus: obvious question, but have you tried dropping back to an old CUPS? | 22:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | _wendy_: open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter, and see ho it identifies your wireless device. | 22:26 |
| tekster | Sylphid: ok thanks, the link seems more towards the cpu fan where i need the gfx (ati), ill look into gkrellm as well, ty | 22:26 |
| Sylphid | tekster, that link has info on all fans in the system | 22:26 |
| tekster | oo ok | 22:27 |
| Sylphid | tekster, lm-sensors and fancontrol are the tools you would need to control fan speeds manually | 22:27 |
| rblst | how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? | 22:27 |
| _wendy_ | IndyGunFreak: i see alot of things in there, what exactly i look for? | 22:27 |
| Moguri | Where could I find the latest NVIDIA drivers? | 22:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | !pastebin | _wendy_ pastebin your lspci, then give me the link | 22:28 |
| ubottu | _wendy_ pastebin your lspci, then give me the link: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:28 |

| rblst | does anyone know how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? | 22:29 |
| jjlee | superhero: has always done the same to me. I assume it's a feature ;-) | 22:29 |
| Abed | guys i know i asked too much questions,but i can't find my /usr/local folder | 22:29 |
| meloco | hey all | 22:29 |
| Abed | any ideas?? | 22:29 |
| jjlee | superhero: smplayer or kaffeine show it | 22:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | _wendy_: it might look soething like this... 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 22:30 |
| superhero | jjlee: I search for the solution in the web | 22:30 |
| basileus | superhero: there is a checkbox in interface settings | 22:30 |
| Moguri | Should I remove my current NVIDIA drivers that I got through the restricted drivers before trying to install new ones from NVIDIA's site? | 22:30 |
| jjlee | superhero: though different media players seem to be buggy in different respects, especially wrt playing DVDs | 22:30 |
| superhero | jjlee: and I found that I must delete the application data file for VLC | 22:30 |
| meloco | If anyone can help me: I cancelled the update manager half way through, and now cannot access any synaptic packages. I get multiple errors. including dkpg. Could anyone 'PM' me and help me? Many thanks. | 22:31 |
| jjlee | superhero: and that worked? | 22:31 |
| rblst | does anyone know how i could set up dual monitor in intrepid with an intel card? | 22:31 |
| superhero | jjlee: many people in the forum said that its the right solution | 22:31 |
| jjlee | superhero: meaning, it didn't work? | 22:31 |
| Moguri | rblst: Can an Intel card support dual monitor? o.O | 22:31 |
| _wendy_ | IndyGunFreak: i got it, broadcom corporationbcm4311 802.etc | 22:31 |
| kattollikisd | so one here know... where I can find some Usplash for GNOME? (Not gnome-look.org pleases) | 22:31 |
| superhero | jjlee: but I don't know till now where I can find the application data file ;) | 22:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | !broadcom | _wendy_ | 22:31 |

| balleyne | malacosteus: have you looked through the CUPS error log? | 22:32 |
| superhero | jjlee: I didn't try it till now | 22:32 |
| rblst | Moguri: sure, i had it working some releases back | 22:32 |
| superhero | jjlee: are you know where I can find the VLC application data file??? | 22:32 |
| jjlee | superhero: what do you mean by "VLC application data file"? | 22:33 |
| Danny | Who here has had trouble with there wireless card after installing ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| superhero | jjlee: its a file contain the user configuration | 22:33 |
| meloco | If anyone can help me: I cancelled the update manager half way through, and now cannot access any synaptic packages. I get multiple errors. including dkpg. Could anyone 'PM' me and help me? Many thanks. | 22:33 |
| superhero | jjlee: like in windows "c:\documents and settings\user\application data\vlc" | 22:33 |
| superhero | jjlee: but in ubuntu I was unable to find it | 22:34 |
| _wendy_ | IndyGunFreak: uhm this is weird bro, im running livecd how am i supposed to know what to do? | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | superhero, try .vlc in the users home directory | 22:34 |
| superhero | jjlee: I will try to find the link for u | 22:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | _wendy_: getting the broadcom wireless to work on a live CD, is probably not going to be successful. | 22:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | you'll have to install. | 22:34 |
| Danny | Who here has an Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter for there internet card | 22:34 |
| inertial | do i use the amd64 iso for intel64 machines? | 22:35 |
| _wendy_ | so maybe i have to install? you think that will detect it? | 22:35 |
| Sylphid | meloco, what is the error exactly | 22:35 |
| dr_willis | inertial, you can. But you can also use the 32bit release... | 22:35 |
| imachine | whoa, 180.22 seems to work great. | 22:35 |
| jjlee | superhero: sorry, I don't know. You could always create a throwaway user, run find, run vlc, run find again, then diff the find outputs | 22:35 |
| superhero | jjlee: I search for a similar one but I can't find it | 22:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Danny: is that the one that gets misdetected as an ar242x? | 22:35 |
| imachine | just some minor "offscreen" handling problems. | 22:35 |
| jjlee | superhero: or use strace | 22:35 |
| imachine | other than that, my recommendations so far ;-) | 22:35 |
| MyName | if a project is free, how can the coders be motivated to write quality code? is that nto the classic problem of incentive/communism/socialism"? | 22:35 |
| markpee | why dose my programs allways crash ?? | 22:35 |
| MyName | where is the competitive ness and drive? | 22:35 |
| MyName | give me a break | 22:35 |
| Danny | Ya it is I have that problem | 22:35 |
| jjlee | superhero: no, nothing obvious in my home dir either | 22:36 |
| imachine | MyName, the better code they write, the faster/sooner they will be recognized by people with money. | 22:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Danny: how does lspci identify your wireless device" | 22:36 |
| imachine | MyName, therefore, they will be given money for doing what they already are doing. | 22:36 |
| superhero | jjlee: I notice that | 22:36 |
| meloco | sylphid: it was to fix broken packages | 22:36 |
| meloco | I found the error. Sun java install | 22:36 |
| imachine | MyName, hint, IBM, DELL, RedHat, | 22:36 |
| MyName | well that's nto big enough of an incentive compared to the better code the chance for direct promotiona nd more pay | 22:36 |
| superhero | jjlee: strace is a search engine software for linux?? | 22:36 |
| Danny | ispci? Sorry im new to Ubuntu well linux in general | 22:36 |
| MyName | why go about this circuitous route? | 22:36 |
| rblst | does anyone know how i could set up dual monitor in intrepid with an intel card? | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | superhero, i got .vlc in my users home dir. /home/USERNAME/.vlc but im not sure what your actual prlblem is | 22:36 |
| meloco | Now I am trying to "repair broken files" | 22:36 |
| imachine | MyName, come to think about it, that route seems a lot more decent. | 22:36 |
| jjlee | superhero: if you don't know what strace is, you probably don't want to ;-) | 22:36 |
| meloco | it seems to be downloading and installing | 22:37 |
| imachine | MyName, it's the usual dangling carrot on a stick, ust the other way | 22:37 |
| MyName | is that nto the fundamental reason this community is being smashed to bits by intel/microsoft/apple ? | 22:37 |
| meloco | i had to do "dpkg --configure -a" | 22:37 |
| MyName | no progress after all these years | 22:37 |
| imachine | you get the stick first, then the carrot. | 22:37 |
| imachine | :-) | 22:37 |
| MyName | losers? | 22:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Danny: opena terminal (application/accessories/terminal) type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and look for the line that describes your wireless device, see if ti says this... 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 22:37 |
| imachine | MyName, what community lol ? | 22:37 |

| imachine | Moguri, I had some funny screen issue, where half an inch of my screen wrapped about itself. | 22:45 |
| dr_willis | Taladan, i think of it as 'toll roads' (MS) vs 'public roads' (GPL) - | 22:45 |

| imachine | Moguri, switching to console and back helped. | 22:45 |

| Moguri | imachine: Hmm....It can't find "nvidia-180-glx" | 22:47 |
| Taladan | Well, when you fundamentally get down to it the ideal of 'free software' has nothing to do with a social or governmental outlook. It's an ideal of not charging for the tools, letting people use the tools to their advantage. The support though? If you want to charge for that as a company and people are willing to pay for it, then you're providing a service to the community worth whatever dollar amount you agree on...which is the | 22:47 |

| Guest25440 | is there a postgresql 7.4 package for 8.04 | 23:06 |
| Flannel | flashblind: That's not really appropraite for this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:06 |
| Sylphid | _wendy_, logical partitions are >4 ... ie sda5 | 23:06 |
| energY_ | rblst: My cd-rom drive is not responding anymore. | 23:06 |

| Flannel | !repeat | thebloggu | 23:07 |
| ubottu | thebloggu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 23:07 |

| cousteau | is there a way to upgrade from Hardy to Jaunty without reinstalling or previously upgrading to Intrpid? | 23:07 |
| _wendy_ | ok so i have a 120 gigs, i will make 3 partitions, /, /home, swap. / and /home will be primary? | 23:08 |
| Flannel | cousteau: No. | 23:08 |
| thebloggu | Flannel, for someone a little experienced in linux i think it is an easy problem to solve | 23:08 |
| cousteau | not even with the Alternate C? | 23:08 |
| Flannel | thebloggu: That's all good and well, but that doesn't give you the right to spam the channel. | 23:08 |
| mas2 | _wendy_: you don't have to make partion for /home, / and swap if you don't want to. You can let the Ubuntu setup make it for you. So you just set how much of your hdd you want to use. Could be better in your case. | 23:08 |

| lolwut | any people using AFP to share betweein mac and ubuntu? | 23:08 |
| === Guest25440 is now known as teknicaL | ||

| baldur | I need help in changins files that belong to root user in my computer i cant find out how i do that ??? (these are freechiv files i want to changse) | 23:08 |
| Flannel | cousteau: Nope. You need to upgrade one release at a time. Only intrepid upgrades to jaunty (well, thats the only upgrade that's tested/provided for) | 23:08 |
| thebloggu | Flannel, sorry but i am here for minutes and no one tries to help | 23:08 |
| lolwut | any people using AFP to share betweein mac and ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| cousteau | ok, thanks | 23:09 |
| mas2 | _wendy_: yeah that is true. | 23:09 |
| teknicaL | I guess there is no postgresql 7.4 package for 8.04 ? I guess I have to install it from source? | 23:09 |
| _wendy_ | so both primary mas2? | 23:09 |
| dentid4hed | This is my second attempt, day two of switching to Ubuntu and I still can't get it to install. Progress bar hangs up less than a quarter of the way there. | 23:09 |
| timebomb | i would ask some stalonetray dev | 23:09 |
| Flannel | thebloggu: Yes. But everyone who's online read your question the first time. We don't need to reread it every 90 seconds. | 23:09 |
| timebomb | but personally im guessing no | 23:09 |
| mas2 | _wendy_: I'm not 100% sure about that so ask the folks in the channel about this one. sorry | 23:10 |
| Sylphid | dentid4hed, have you tried the alternate cd | 23:10 |
| benzss | does anyone know if it's possible to back up ktorrent? | 23:10 |
| malacosteus | baldur do you have the root password? | 23:10 |
| dentid4hed | Alternate cd? | 23:10 |
| dentid4hed | I downloaded 8.10 and burned it to a cd. | 23:10 |
| zc00gii | baldur: use chmod.... | 23:10 |
| Flannel | baldur: What are you trying to change? | 23:10 |
| cousteau | dentid4hed: maybe the ISO didn't download well; try the Torrent downloads | 23:10 |
| zc00gii | !chmod > baldur | 23:11 |
| ubottu | baldur, please see my private message | 23:11 |
| mas2 | it there any way to add a resolution to my xorg.conf without editing in manualy? I use the fgrlx driver. Is it possible with an ati command? | 23:11 |
| dentid4hed | I used two separate ISO's. Two different cd's from two different computers. Both cd's hang up in the same place. It's my computer. | 23:11 |
| baldur | malacosteus: zc00gii Flannel i allredy did sudo passwd to make the root password | 23:11 |
| Flannel | baldur: Don't do that. There's absolutely no reason to set a root password. | 23:11 |
| malacosteus | baldur: chmod will only work if you have the root or sudo password | 23:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | dentid4hed: or its how you're burning them. | 23:11 |
| Flannel | baldur: Also, you likely won't need to chmod either. What are you trying to do to those files? | 23:11 |
| dentid4hed | In case one, I used CDBurnerXP and the other I used MagicISO | 23:12 |
| zc00gii | baldur: unless you own the file | 23:12 |
| markpee | anyone know anything about the history with Israeal & Plaestine | 23:12 |
| Sylphid | dentid4hed, the alt cd is a cli based installer usefull if the regular cd fails | 23:12 |
| baldur | Flannel: i wanna changse the game config and i cant since i am not the owner of the files | 23:12 |
| zc00gii | baldur: like the files in/home/<user name> | 23:12 |
| malacosteus | baldur: okay so then you can use chmod 777 filpath | 23:12 |
| Flannel | markpee: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere. | 23:12 |
| Sylphid | dentid4hed, at what point does it fail | 23:12 |
| Flannel | malacosteus: Please don't give wrong advice. | 23:12 |
| mas2 | could someone take a quick look at this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036640 it's about adding resolution for my external monitor. | 23:12 |
| zc00gii | baldur: sudo chmod 777 /path/to/game/config | 23:13 |
| baldur | malacosteus: okei | 23:13 |
| timebomb | later | 23:13 |
| Flannel | baldur: You'll use sudo with the command to edit the files: `gksu gedit /path/to/file` for instance (or sudo nano /path/to/config) | 23:13 |
| travis_ | uh, got through installing the thinkfinger alright, i'm having problems integrating it into PAM now | 23:13 |
| Flannel | zc00gii: Please don't give wrong advice. | 23:13 |
| Flannel | baldur: *dont* chmod | 23:13 |
| malacosteus | flannel: what would you suggest | 23:13 |
| zc00gii | Flannel: before he said he wanted to change the permissions.... | 23:13 |
| Flannel | travis_: read the README.Debian file, it gives you like three commands that do it automagically. | 23:13 |
| travis_ | the walkthrough said to modify /etc/pam.d/common-auth, which i think is the issue, because i am able to properly verify my user in the thinkfinger utility | 23:13 |
| Flannel | zc00gii, malacosteus: changing the permissions isn't what he wants to do. He merely wants to edit it: start a text editor with sudo. | 23:14 |
| travis_ | Flannel: where is that located | 23:14 |
| Flannel | travis_: /usr/share/doc/libpam-thinkfinger/README.Debian | 23:15 |
| malacosteus | flannel: he had said he wanted to change permissions. | 23:15 |
| travis_ | Flannel: thanks | 23:15 |
| mib_r9kfdvxn | hello people, could someone please explain to me the following commands in more details and more importantly why i need todo them before i "chroot" a partition???? i have already looked online and run "man mount" but i am still a lil confused "mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc" and "mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev" | 23:15 |
| lolwut | Flannel: do youuse the AFP to share between mac and ubuntu? | 23:15 |
| Flannel | malacosteus: Right, but that's not what he actually wants to do. He wants to change the configuration. | 23:15 |
| baldur | Flannel: so i should type in "sudo nano /path/to/config/file | 23:15 |
| zc00gii | malacosteus: no he didn't | 23:15 |
| * zc00gii facepalms | 23:15 | |
| Flannel | baldur: Yes. And also, do `sudo passwd -l root` (to re-lock the root account) | 23:16 |
| lolwut | I need to know how to assign folders for sharing with AFP | 23:16 |
| Flannel | baldur: that'll give you a nano window (text editor for the terminal) with the config file. If you want to use a graphical editor, alt-f2 then gksu gedit /path/to/config/file | 23:16 |
| baldur | Flannel: sudo nano /usr/share/games/freeciv/nations afghani.ruleset | 23:17 |
| baldur | <--- this is the command i did and i got an eamty file | 23:17 |
| Flannel | baldur: Does the filename actually have a space in it? | 23:17 |
| baldur | Flannel: it has a . in the middle | 23:18 |
| Flannel | baldur: Right, but what about "nations afghani.ruleset"? | 23:18 |
| baldur | Flannel: nations is a folder | 23:18 |
| Flannel | baldur: Case matters. And also, you can use tab complete to help out. | 23:18 |
| baldur | Flannel: ahh worked | 23:19 |
| lolwut | can ANYBODY help me with apple sharing, between ubuntu and apple, I did set up all the apf stuff, I am able to see home from my macbook, but in ubuntu I can only seem to pic which files to share over the windows network | 23:20 |
| baldur | Flannel: it worked thanks | 23:20 |
| tobias | anyone good at initramfs stuff? | 23:20 |
| miloz | whois romgo | 23:20 |
| baldur | Flannel: i wanna learn more about and how to use the terminal to do my biddings what do you recomend i do for practice and such ? | 23:21 |
| Flannel | !cli | baldur | 23:21 |
| ubottu | baldur: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:21 |
| baldur | Flannel: thanks :) | 23:21 |
| meloco | Does anybody know how to stop the flickering with film playback? | 23:22 |
| miranda_psi | lolwut: I have never done it before, but I would guess that you would need to configure samba on both ubuntu and the mac | 23:22 |
| outofthemadness | does anyone here know the syntax highlighting for gedit works? | 23:24 |
| aprilhare | hello | 23:25 |
| eeePingJocky | outofthemadness: yeah, i think it depends on the files your looking at | 23:25 |
| aprilhare | odd: the application demands the flash plugin - but the flash plugin was installed for firefox. | 23:25 |
| miranda_psi | outofthemadness: what is it that you are having a problem with? It should do it automatically and you can also select the highlighting manually | 23:26 |
| dumcypher | Hello | 23:27 |
| outofthemadness | eeePingJocky: I mean, how might you edit what languages it recognizes? I just started messing around with processing, and whenever I load a processing file in gedit, it comes up with C syntax highlighting | 23:27 |
| lain_wired | Hiya, sorry to bore everyone with this but a friend of mine asked me to put her music on her new iPod Nano 4Gb. | 23:27 |
| outofthemadness | miranda_psi: trying to add another language to the ones recognized by syntax highlighting | 23:28 |
| lain_wired | I have had no trouble getting ubuntu to recognize thedevice, but it seems to mount as read only, and I've been unable to copy anything across to it, even with gtkpod--aac | 23:28 |

| Moguri | It's only at 60C | 23:28 |
| lain_wired | Sylphid, ah thanks :p | 23:29 |
| lain_wired | Sylphid, uh. That article is mostly telling me I should already be able to do this. | 23:30 |
| miranda_psi | outofthemadness: sorry but I don't know how to do that | 23:30 |
| dumcypher | please, any idea? | 23:31 |
| eeePingJocky | outofthemadness: looks like its going to be more than skin deep, you may have to alter the language highlighting and im not sure where that is at | 23:31 |
| yow|laptop | lain_wired - was it formatted in Linux? | 23:31 |
| eeePingJocky | well not in gedit anyway | 23:31 |
| doxy | Has anyone had issues with VLC and Qt recently? All of my other Qt programs seem to work fine, but VLC is giving me QtApplication errors and segfaulting | 23:31 |

| user002 | thanks | 23:42 |
| lain_wired | yow|laptop, yes, that too. I don't know why they feel the need to make things complicated. | 23:43 |
| Ochian | Anyone know what exactly Firestarter does? And how I can get it to start on boot? | 23:43 |
| yow|laptop | lain_wired - since you cant wipe it, the only other thing that comes to mind is that the folder where it was mounted might be read only. you could check that | 23:43 |
| Tyrath | gerob: the best advise I can give you is to type this in shell: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-settings | 23:43 |
| lain_wired | I was considering buying the zen x-fi next, but I'm hearing mixed reviews. :\ | 23:43 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:43 |
| dr_willis | Ochian, see the above urls | 23:44 |

| Ochian | Yay, bots. | 23:44 |
| yow|laptop | lain_wired - my ipod was a gift, otherwise i wouldn't own one :) | 23:44 |

| gerob | Tyrath I have sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run but I need to close my X to run it | 23:44 |
| Sylphid | yow|laptop, my wife is wanting an mp3 player ... what would you recommend | 23:44 |
| gerob | Tyrath: The instructions dont tell me how to do that | 23:45 |
| Tyrath | gerob: .run? i've never seen tht extension before... not too sure | 23:45 |
| yow|laptop | lain_wired - i would have probably bought an Archos device myself if i never received my ipod | 23:46 |
| Nomexous | gerob: Try booting into a root shell | 23:46 |
| dr_willis | gerob, you have tried the drivers in the repositories and via envyng if those failed FIRST? | 23:46 |
| Tyrath | gerob: i'd suggest what i told you, otherwise i wouldn't hve a clue, sorry | 23:46 |
| * Tyrath hasn't had any graphic driver issues since he first installed 8.10 | 23:46 | |
| lain_wired | yow|laptop, I've never used Archos, but I will check them out for my next player upgrade. | 23:46 |
| dr_willis | gerob, if you really MUST use the nvidia instrallers.. go to console (alt-ctrl-f1) and use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to make X stop. then run the installer 'sudo sh whatever.run' | 23:47 |
| lain_wired | Still no success on the ipod front, but the way. | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | gerob, good luck getting them to work... :) the repo versions or envy0ng is a better bet. | 23:47 |
| yow|laptop | Sylphid - id be inclined to agree with lain_wired in that zens are nice. easy controls | 23:47 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: just curious. what's .run? shouldn't it be .sh ? | 23:47 |
| gerob | dr_willis: I couldnt get envyng to run | 23:47 |
| gbear14275 | need advice | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | gerob, just an idiotic extension they use the means 'run me' | 23:47 |
| gbear14275 | with selecting an OS | 23:47 |
| Tyrath | !ask | gbear14275 | 23:48 |
| ubottu | gbear14275: 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. :-) | 23:48 |
| cousteau | speaking of graphic drivers, will Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (driver 96) work on Jaunty (X.org 1.6)? | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | gerob, it could be a binary, not a shell script.. i imagine that file is a bit of both | 23:48 |
| Sylphid | yow|laptop, thanks | 23:48 |
| lain_wired | yow|laptop, Sylphid If the Zen V Plus series is still out, I recommend them. They're adorable and yet impossible to hurt. | 23:48 |
| gerob | dr_willis: I believe it a bit of both | 23:48 |
| Tyrath | gbear14275: you shouldn't come to ubuntu and ask advice on selecting an OS. the answer they'll give you will probably be ubuntu given this is a ubuntu channel :P | 23:48 |
| gerob | dr_willis: im willing to try envng if I can get it to run | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | !envy | 23:49 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 23:49 |
| lain_wired | I FINALLY got a minute scratch on mine after I left it uncovered in a bag of coins and wires. Don't even ask why I thought that was a good idea. | 23:49 |
| yow|laptop | yeah and i try to stick to ones that dont have a lot of extras so that i can just use drag n drop for files. my PSP is great that way but a bit big for taking to the gym | 23:49 |
| Tyrath | !beancounter | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about beancounter | 23:49 |
| gerob | dr_willis, so do I use the gtk one then? | 23:49 |
| eseven73 | Tyrath: yeah and if someone suggested Fedora or anything *except* Ubuntu, they'd be yelled at for being OT and whatnot | 23:49 |
| jgarbers | have done something weird to my video config. how can i get Ubuntu to re-do whatever it did at installation time and put everything back the way it was? | 23:49 |
| gbear14275 | Tyrath: is there an ubuntu install ISO that will install ubuntu with XFCE and will it run well enough on a p2 machine with 300mb's of RAM and | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | gerob, if you want. its for gnome | 23:50 |
| Tyrath | eseven73: lol | 23:50 |
| yow|laptop | and i dont like that i cant delete a file directly from the ipod itself either | 23:50 |
| Tyrath | !xubuntu | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 23:50 |
| Tyrath | !xubuntu | gbear14275 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | gbear14275: please see above | 23:50 |
| gbear14275 | Tyrath: got it thanks | 23:50 |
| lavanta | Hi, I've just installed 8.10. At first boot network manager listed my wireless card and asked to download restricted drivers. After installing driver (bcm43xx) and reboot I can't see my wireless connection. ifconfig shows it | 23:51 |
| * Tyrath hates static electricity! he seems to get zapped by any random power cord these days | 23:51 | |
| yow|laptop | lavanta - did you try giving it an ip and setting /etc/resolv.conf manually with your nameserver to see if that works? | 23:52 |
| Tyrath | !libfinance | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libfinance | 23:52 |
| Tyrath | meh | 23:52 |
| Tyrath | :( | 23:52 |
| Ochian | !girls | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Girls exist on the internet. See http://www.escapistmagazine.com/print/17/27 | http://www.xkcd.com/322/ | For more interesting reading: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ | 23:52 |
| Tyrath | me wonders why cups just reloaded randomly | 23:53 |
| Ochian | lol | 23:53 |
| Tyrath | haha @ Ochian | 23:53 |
| gerob | dr_willis: ok .... i got it through the package manager now what? | 23:53 |
| lavanta | yow|laptop, I don't have a wireless modem just now. | 23:53 |
| dr_willis | gerob, run it? | 23:53 |
| yow|laptop | oh ok, lavanta, not much point then ;) | 23:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | !topic | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 23:54 |
| gerob | dr_willis: there is no GUI for it and the envyng -t comes up with an error | 23:54 |
| Tyrath | CaptainMorgan: try /topic, it's much more friendly to your peers :) | 23:55 |
| Tyrath | CaptainMorgan: or /msg ubottu topic | 23:55 |
| CaptainMorgan | why would I do that Tyrath ? | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | gerob, No idea then. last i ran it from a terminal on my other laptop it ran fine for me - You did run sudo envyng-gtk ? | 23:55 |
| Tyrath | CaptainMorgan: well why did you type !topic ? | 23:55 |
| CaptainMorgan | Tyrath, my attempt was to keep the topic on support not the above recent | 23:55 |
| Tyrath | CaptainMorgan: ahh k | 23:56 |
| gerob | dr_willis: sudo: envyng-gtk: command not found | 23:56 |
| Tyrath | gerob: apt-cache search envyng-gtk and see if anything comes up | 23:56 |
| kintarotpc | Hey there | 23:56 |
| Tyrath | gerob: that should give you a list of installable programs with that contained in the name | 23:57 |
| Flannel | gerob, dr_willis: -gtk is a metapackage for envyng, there's no -gtk version due to some stability issues. -qt exists, as does the CLI | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | there ya go gerob install/use envy-qt I guess... | 23:58 |
| jeeves_Moss | are there any evoulition guys in here? | 23:58 |
| gerob | dr_willis: flannel: ok ill try that | 23:58 |
| Tyrath | !ask | jeeves_Moss | 23:59 |
| ubottu | jeeves_Moss: 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. :-) | 23:59 |
| lain_wired | I am about to cry. Sleep deprivation and weak hardware support don't mix. | 23:59 |
| jeeves_Moss | Tyrath, yea, thanks. I know how it works. | 23:59 |
| dr_willis | gerob, just to clarify - you DID use the 'restricted-drivers manager' tool to try the nvidia drivers in the repositories FIRST? | 23:59 |
| kintarotpc | Question: Has anyone here encountered a situation in which Gnome will display only a blank white screen within a normal session but display everything fine in a failsafe session (no startup scripts) ? | 23:59 |
| jeeves_Moss | lain_wired, lol, welcome to my world most nights @ about 3:30am | 23:59 |
