| dr_willis | sooth, i always set Lables on all Internal disks also. :) | 00:01 |
| sooth | term_: Did you try, http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/setup-vidalia-tor-gui-with-ubuntu-and.html | 00:01 |
| Sciambola | i have one problem : Qt and compiz | 00:01 |
| sooth | term_: Or any of the results for "vidalia ubuntu" on google? | 00:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | sooth, ' shoul' | 00:01 |
| para | ConstantineXVI: thanks, it wasn't. now that it is, apt-get recognises mingw32 fine. Thanks for the help! | 00:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | sooth, ' should' is the imporatnat bit. :) | 00:02 |
| sooth | important even? | 00:02 |

| balzac | hello | 00:02 |
| balzac | my nic hasn't worked since I upgraded to intrepid | 00:02 |
| Sciambola | Skype and Lyx and more applications "qt2 don't work properly on compiz... | 00:02 |
| balzac | it's 3945abg from intel | 00:02 |
| theUg | filthpig: thanks man | 00:02 |
| balzac | very common wireless driver which used to work | 00:02 |
| balzac | I need this. I've been hammering on this problem for an hour and a half. I'm on aderol and I'm not a newbie. Why can't I install this friggin driver? | 00:03 |
| Sciambola | Qualche italiano?? | 00:03 |
| ryanakca | I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? | 00:03 |

| Dr_Willis | balzac, could be some upgrade bug/quirk. this is why i normally always do clean installs. | 00:04 |
| filthpig | balzac: google == friend :) | 00:04 |
| balzac | always doing clean installs is for windows users. | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | balzac, check that you are using the latest kernel? try latest update/upgrades, check forums for others with similer issue? | 00:04 |
| balzac | filthpig: I've been all over google | 00:04 |
| balzac | what is lacking is a definitive answer among the 10 or more google search results I clicked | 00:05 |
| jonny_ | GtkFileChooser opens very slowly for me | 00:05 |
| balzac | I tried this and that | 00:05 |
| jonny_ | can anyone help me work out why? I want to use strace to work out where the delays are but I don't really know how... | 00:05 |
| balzac | ndiswrapper, b43cutter, linux-firmware | 00:05 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> care to tell us what you have done so far in terms of loading the driver or checking if it is loaded? | 00:05 |
| jonny_ | strace -e open zenity --file-selection gives me much more than I can handle | 00:05 |
| balzac | It's just asinine - that what the problem is | 00:05 |
| balzac | n8tuser2: well, I'm not a newb but I'm not very skilled yet either | 00:06 |
| balzac | modprobe? | 00:06 |
| jmd9qs | i'm having trouble using tor in Ibex... i've installed privoxy and tor, and i've followed all the tutorials i can find, but no luck. can anyone help me figure this out? | 00:07 |
| ryanakca | I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? | 00:07 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> i did not ask for your newbieness, what did you do to verify it is loaded or loading the driver? | 00:07 |
| balzac | how? | 00:07 |
| athan | hey, can someone help me with firefox? it is all tarded | 00:07 |
| ConstantineXVI | athan, how tarded? | 00:07 |
| term_ | soot: that guide didnt work, i still get errors | 00:07 |
| athan | firefox won't update the url, and it has no history | 00:07 |
| balzac | n8tuser2: I was waiting for gnome to show me my network manager icon when I got it right | 00:07 |
| term_ | sooth* | 00:08 |
| athan | really tarded lol | 00:08 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: did you start tor already? (sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart) also, try the FoxyProxy ff extension... you actually don't realy need privoxy, unless you want it... | 00:08 |
| tekteen | athan: what do you mean update the url? | 00:08 |
| cidesign | tesstring | 00:08 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> do you wish to answer my questions or you are off to something else? | 00:08 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: here's the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464 | 00:08 |
| athan | when i put "google" in the address bar, it stays to "google" not "http://www.google.com". | 00:08 |
| neeto | I have an external eSATA harddrive with a JMicron SATA controller. I am still using 8.04 but from looking at forums, this bug seems to be fixed on 8.10. Is there a way to fix this problem without a complete upgrade to 8.10? | 00:08 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale: i've got switchproxy now... i have started tor, but i'll try the restart and see what it says | 00:09 |
| balzac | n8tuser2: I don't know specifically how to check if a given driver is loaded. NDISwrapper is obvious with the GUI. | 00:09 |
| term_ | Can someone help me install Vidalia on Ubuntu 8.10? I get make[2]: *** [src/util/CMakeFiles/util.dir/crypto.o] Error 1 | 00:09 |
| Slart | athan: on my computer it googles for "google".. I think it's something you can configure in about::config or whatever it's called | 00:09 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: what are you pointing the proxy too? | 00:09 |
| balzac | otherwise, I don't know how to tell if a specific is loaded. | 00:09 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> well you did say you read plenty of materials, so any of those at all you understood on how to check if driver is loaded? | 00:09 |
| jmd9qs | the proxy is pointed to 127.0.0.1 port 8118 | 00:10 |
| n8tuser2 | or you are just bluffing? | 00:10 |
| balzac | n8tuser2: please just tell me the command | 00:10 |
| arakthor | balzac: I am not 100% sure, but I believe modprobe -l lists loaded modules | 00:10 |
| sooth | term_: I've never installed vidalia before so I probably can't help you. If you want someone to help you I suggest stating exactly what errors you are getting. You need to provide more context of the error message (i.e. the preceding lines) [not in the channel, use a pastebin] | 00:10 |
| athan | hmm, i might just have to re-install ubuntu 8.10, cuz firefox worked before | 00:10 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: ok. so make sure privoxy is running too, then (sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart) and did you enable forwardin for prixoxy to tor? | 00:10 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> i would not be telling you the exact command, but I will give you hints, man moprobe, man lsmod | 00:10 |
| Slart | athan: that sounds a bit overkill | 00:11 |
| neeto | athan: it's not a problem with ubuntu. you can find the option in about:config | 00:11 |
| balzac | n8tuser2: I did use modprobe and didn't find my driver | 00:11 |
| sooth | term_: What features of the GUI do you need? | 00:11 |
| balzac | thanks | 00:11 |
| balzac | I'll try those | 00:11 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> what was your exact command? | 00:11 |
| athan | yeah, i have a fresh install tho | 00:11 |
| balzac | modprobe drivername | 00:11 |
| Slart | athan: check the browser.urlbar section | 00:12 |
| athan | so its not that important | 00:12 |
| balzac | I've just been taking things I see online and trying them | 00:12 |
| athan | kk, 1 sec | 00:12 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale: i've restarted privoxy... last night i changed the privoxyrc file, but i dont' know if i enabled forwardin or not. how can i check? | 00:12 |
| sooth | term_: You can also try #vidalia on irc.oftc.net | 00:12 |
| n8tuser2 | balzac -> its a good time you hit the manual pages, man modprobe and man lsmod | 00:12 |
| term_ | ok | 00:12 |
| balzac | Ok, I will | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: pastebin your privoxy config file.. i think it is in /etc/privoxy/config or somthing... | 00:12 |
| n8tuser2 | am away for now | 00:13 |
| jmd9qs | ok... sorry, irc noob: how do i pastebin? i'm using xchat in gnome | 00:14 |
| athan | oh, how do i update the about:config ? | 00:14 |
| Odd-rationale | !pastebin | jmd9qs | 00:14 |
| ubottu | jmd9qs: 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) | 00:14 |
| High_Speed | does anyone have any experience with old jaton or trident video cards? | 00:14 |
| neeto | how can I get cp to skip files that already exist in a directory? | 00:15 |
| Slart | neeto: have you checked the man page? I think there's a switch | 00:15 |
| balzac | I think the bottom line is that I've got crappy hardware | 00:15 |
| Odd-rationale | neeto: i think there is the -u switch... check the manpage | 00:15 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone help out with printing from Microsoft Office (through CrossOver) using cups-pdf? | 00:15 |
| neeto | Slart: checked, but I didn't see one | 00:15 |
| athan | nope, still tarded | 00:15 |
| athan | OH@ | 00:15 |
| athan | how do i install ogre? | 00:15 |
| balzac | f*ck intel for being microsoft's whore | 00:16 |
| balzac | miserable bastids | 00:16 |
| neeto | Slart: ah yeah, you're right... it's worded differently than I had expected it to be. | 00:16 |
| athan | cuz when i tried to do it from source, i had so many dependencies, i freaked | 00:16 |
| Slart | neeto: you could try -u | 00:16 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale: pastebin url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/104166/ | 00:16 |
| SilverBullet | Getdeb Founder interviewed Topic => http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038224 | 00:16 |
| ldiamond | balzac, wth r u talking about | 00:16 |
| Slart | neeto: it will still overwrite if the filer you're copying is newer.. | 00:16 |
| athan | even after i got all of them, it still wouldn't make correctly, it just gave me errors | 00:16 |
| balzac | ldiamond: intel and their stupid wireless drivers | 00:16 |
| balzac | and all the redundant efforts for wireless compatibility | 00:17 |
| ldiamond | balzac, this is not specific to intel. | 00:17 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: do you remember what line you changed? | 00:17 |
| balzac | it sucks | 00:17 |
| ldiamond | balzac, My intel 4965AGN works fine here... (havent tried packet injection yet tho) | 00:17 |
| balzac | I know, but intel should have more pride than to prop up microsoft and their technically inferior software monopoly | 00:17 |
| balzac | yeah, well my 3954abg sucks | 00:17 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, hang on i'll find out. i did it based on tor's setup page | 00:17 |

| ryanakca | I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? | 00:18 |
| term_ | sooth: Here is my pastebin file http://pastebin.com/d2c63915e | 00:18 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: oh wait. nvm... you just added a lin on the top... | 00:18 |
| balzac | it's a bunch of crap. | 00:18 |
| ldiamond | balzac, this has nothing to do with microsoft... intel just dont develop drivers for linux... because linux is not a big enough share for them... | 00:18 |
| Slart | neeto: if you want more options when moving files you can often use rsync instead of cp/mv.. | 00:18 |
| ldiamond | balzac, its just intel's fault | 00:18 |
| balzac | microsoft subsidizes hardware manufacturers to remain incompatibility | 00:19 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, that's not all though... i know i had to disable a few lines as well | 00:19 |
| neeto | Slart: I've never used rsync... I am backing up my music from one harddrive to another, you think it would work a lot better in this situation? | 00:19 |
| jonny_ | Can anyone help me use strace to debug slowness of GtkFileChooser | 00:19 |
| jonny_ | ? | 00:19 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: well, it looks right... although, i would just delete that line you added at the top, and un comment line 1162 # forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . | 00:19 |
| mikevankuik | how can I install ubuntu in textmode? it seems that it doesn't like my grapics card... no problem because its going to run as a server anyway but how do I get to textmode? | 00:19 |

| Odd-rationale | mikevankuik: you have to use the alternative disc | 00:20 |
| Odd-rationale | !alterntive | mikevankuik | 00:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alterntive | 00:20 |
| Odd-rationale | whoops | 00:20 |
| Odd-rationale | !alternative | mikevankuik | 00:20 |
| ricekrispy | mikevanuik: use the alt or server disc | 00:20 |
| ubottu | mikevankuik: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 00:20 |
| Slart | neeto: it wont be faster or anything.. but rsync has some extra bling bling.. progress bars and such.. and I think it can copy only if the destination doesn't exist like you were asking for | 00:20 |

| neeto | Slart: sweet, progress bars are awesome. | 00:21 |
| theUg | boobs are fun | 00:21 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: that's no prob :) I've got highspeed internet :D | 00:21 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, ok i did that... let me check and see if its working | 00:21 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: restart privoxy though... | 00:21 |
| sooth | term_: Can you paste the output of 'ls -ld ~/vidalia-0.1.1' please | 00:21 |
| Slart | neeto: I can't really say I know rsyncs syntax by heart..but I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to use it | 00:21 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: is there a 64bit version of that ? | 00:21 |
| Gnea | !o4o | theUg | 00:21 |
| Odd-rationale | mikevankuik: yes | 00:21 |

| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, will do | 00:21 |
| neeto | Slart: naw it looks fine, I can figure it out. | 00:21 |
| * aprilhare used rsync a while back successfully\ | 00:21 | |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: the next thing i would just is did you set you proxy to use socks5 ? | 00:21 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: you woudn't have the link to that too would ya? :D | 00:22 |
| aprilhare | been ages since i've needed it though | 00:22 |
| mrwes | neeto: there is a gui for rsync called grsync | 00:22 |
| aprilhare | why do you need rsync? | 00:22 |
| neeto | mrwes: sweet, thanks. | 00:22 |
| aprilhare | there is always http or ftp resume | 00:22 |
| Odd-rationale | mikevankuik: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 00:22 |
| neeto | aprilhare: rsync is a fancier version of cp | 00:22 |
| aprilhare | neeto, i remember - over a network | 00:23 |
| Gnea | aprilhare: http/ftp resume can break iso's | 00:23 |
| aprilhare | Gnea, a bad implementation, maybe | 00:23 |
| aprilhare | when implemented correctly never breaks isos | 00:23 |
| Slart | aprilhare: rsync works nicely for local stuff too.. | 00:23 |
| Gnea | aprilhare: wget, curl... it happens | 00:23 |
| term_ | sooth: drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2009-01-13 01:07 /home/term/vidalia-0.1.1 | 00:23 |
| ricekrispy | Gnea: never had a problem with wget downloading large files | 00:23 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, you mean for firefox? or system wide? | 00:23 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: for firefox | 00:23 |
| Gnea | ricekrispy: ISO's, specifically.. and you had to resume it? | 00:24 |
| High_Speed | can anyone help me with my graphics card (jaton 117pci 32m)? | 00:24 |
| aprilhare | its been years though since anyone has had a problem with bad implementations of http resume - even firefox has it now | 00:24 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: cool :) | 00:24 |
| aprilhare | although i have noted problems sometimes with firefox not noticing it has only downloaded part of a file | 00:24 |
| aprilhare | then, you can't choose to resume because it thinks it has the lot | 00:24 |
| Gnea | but rsync is usually used for performing backups, not downloading software | 00:24 |
| sooth | term_: Okay you don't have write permissions for that directory. But before fixing that let's see if we can avoid installing from source. | 00:25 |
| mikevankuik | 20min and counting (A) | 00:25 |
| * aprilhare has used rsync to download iso images in the past - thats why i used it at all | 00:25 | |
| Odd-rationale | mikevankuik: you found the 64bit alternative disc? | 00:25 |
| aprilhare | debian linux cds | 00:25 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: yeah I did :) | 00:25 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, now i'm getting an error from privoxy in firefox saying Privoxy was unable to socks4a-forward your request SOCKS request rejected or failed | 00:25 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: now I know where to look in the future ^_^ | 00:25 |
| * aprilhare watches episodes of the Roommating Show | 00:26 | |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: restart tor too | 00:26 |
| jmd9qs | ok | 00:26 |
| HRshovinstuff | Hi guys. Ok, so I built my new computer today (using it now on an 8.04 live CD) I just need to copy some files from my old file system to a third storage space hard drive. However when I try to copy files I am not allowed because I do not have ownership over the old drive. Can someone show me the usage of chown and what i need to do to start moving stuff from my old install to a backup drive,? | 00:26 |
| sooth | term_: Did you do the steps for adding the repositories from the link I sent you? (Starts with "Open up System->Preferences") [You only need to do that step right now.] | 00:26 |
| term_ | sooth: Yes i did add them | 00:27 |
| sooth | term_: What does "sudo apt-get install vidalia" give? | 00:27 |
| ricekrispy | HRShovinstuff: probably best to copy the files first, then change ownership | 00:27 |
| HRshovinstuff | ricekrispy i can't copy the files it will not let me | 00:27 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: going to be so happy with my 64bit ubuntu :D its really my favorite distro :) there is a solution for everything ^_^ going to install a Ubuntu lighttpd php mysql rubyonrails test server with it :) anything I should be aware about? | 00:27 |
| Gnea | HRshovinstuff: easily: mkdir /media/newdisk/storage && chown ubuntu.ubuntu /media/newdisk/storage then just drag 'em over to the storage folder | 00:27 |
| term_ | sooth: "vidalia is already installed" | 00:28 |
| Gnea | HRshovinstuff: you may need to use sudo on those commans | 00:28 |
| iframe | i'm about to install u8.10, desktop edition, can i install apache, mysql and php on this vesion, or should i install the server edition?... | 00:28 |
| HRshovinstuff | gnea ok thanks i'll give it a shot brb | 00:28 |
| cidesign | file | 00:28 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, nope, same thing. i have enabled http, ftp, ssl, and socksv5 in firefox, all through 127.0.0.1 port 8118. should i take some of these off? | 00:28 |
| High_Speed | alright, can anyone tell me how to make a backup of my system so that i can restore it later if i have to reload? | 00:28 |
| Odd-rationale | mikevankuik: not that i know of... but if there is, you know where to complain... :P | 00:28 |
| sooth | term_: Okay, sounds good. Press Alt-F2 and type "vidalia" | 00:28 |
| neeto | term_: I'm curious as to why you need vidalia... tor runs from the command line easily enough, no? | 00:28 |
| mcphail | iframe: you can install those things easily | 00:28 |
| vassler | Is there anyway to give ubuntu a mac osx look in the appearance ? | 00:28 |

| jmd9qs | vidalia just freezes my box up. i don't reccomend it | 00:29 |
| Slart | vassler: yes.. but it won't be a simple command to write in a terminal afaik.. you'll have to do it all yourself | 00:29 |
| term_ | sooth: it says vidalia is already running, and whhen i click on vidalia it crashes | 00:29 |
| iframe | mikevankuik: ok thx... | 00:29 |
| jmd9qs | see | 00:29 |
| jmd9qs | told ya | 00:29 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: try chaning the port to 9050 and see what happens... | 00:29 |
| mikevankuik | iframe: as mcphail said its cleaner :) but if your a newbie it might be a bit scary :) (I know it was for me :P) | 00:29 |
| neeto | vidalia seems like the easier method on windows because it replaces having to use privoxy and all that crap, but on linux you can just install tor and type tor in the CLI and you're good to go | 00:30 |
| sooth | term_: Are you running gutsy? | 00:30 |

| merril | Hi, I'm having problem with fedora core | 00:36 |
| jmd9qs | yes switchproxy. i tried Torbutton as well, but whenever i turned it on, it would stop loading pages completely till i turned it off again | 00:36 |
| neeto | merril: you are in the wrong channel then. | 00:36 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, ^^^^^ | 00:36 |
| jinja-sheep | I'm having issues with VirtualBox (closed-source) when it comes to USB. Any suggestion why? | 00:36 |
| redvamp128 | Stability in 8.10 was there -- just I could not deal with the NVIDIA issue and Wine -- so now back down to 8.04 | 00:36 |
| merril | but i like you guys more | 00:36 |
| mikevankuik | merril: how about switching to ubuntu then? :) | 00:36 |
| term_ | sooth: It freezes | 00:36 |
| neeto | merril: that's sweet of you but we don't have the answers to fedora problems | 00:36 |
| term_ | sooth: and crashes | 00:37 |
| vassler | I notice in mac osx you have kinda a windows vista appearence with the glass buttons and menus and window boarders? can you give ubuntu these same effects? | 00:37 |

| mikevankuik | vassler: have you checked out the new KDE 4 desktop? | 00:37 |
| iframe | merril: what kind of problems?... | 00:37 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, i turned off switchproxy, but tor still isn't working (according to check.torproject.org) | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | vassler, the compiz stuff, and emerald decorations can look very much like vista, or os-xish | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | vassler, kde4 also has similer look. | 00:38 |
| mikevankuik | vassler: its kinda vista like :( (not to my taste but he what ever floats your boat) | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: let's try this... try disabling/uninstalling that one you are using. stop both privoxy and tor (sudo /etc/init.d/tor stop; sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy stop). try using the FoxyProxy addon. restart firefox, and FoxyProxy should have a wizard to guide you through setting up tor... | 00:38 |
| redvamp128 | Actually found a site with some nifty tools for Compiz Forlong's Blog - Compiz-Check <http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check> | 00:38 |
| sooth | term_: It would have been better to not have installed tor from sources. | 00:38 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, ok i'll get back to you in a sec | 00:38 |
| iframe | merril: i'm having also a lot of problems with f10, as never before... | 00:38 |
| term_ | sooth: why not? | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: and in the wizard setup, select toe default, which is to use tor WITHOUT provixy. | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | *privoxy | 00:39 |

| redvamp128 | Though the only thing I don't like is that my Top Bar Dissapears | 00:40 |
| neeto | you can apparently make the cube a SPHERE in the current beta version of compiz | 00:40 |
| josher4 | I forgot, how do you get the cube again? | 00:40 |
| redvamp128 | But everything can be managed through the taskbar | 00:40 |

| redvamp128 | check out this site | 00:40 |
| Gnea | merril: that's for Ubuntu or Fedora? | 00:40 |
| sooth | term_: I'm guessing the vidalia package specifies the exact version of tor it needs and will try to install it from the deb package. You may have the wrong version of tor and/or two different installed versions. | 00:40 |

| Slart | LightTitan: what kind of problems? | 00:40 |
| Odd-rationale | mikevankuik: virtualbox is my favorite | 00:40 |
| Odd-rationale | !virtual | 00:41 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 00:41 |
| LightTitan | like not starting. When I try to run Limewire it hangs on the loading screen | 00:41 |
| Slart | LightTitan: my azureus is acting all laggy and slow.. I'm on 64 bit ubuntu too | 00:41 |
| redvamp128 | He has all kinds of tools as well as examples of how to configure the cube to run | 00:41 |
| crabgrass | where do i put custom login screens? | 00:41 |
| LightTitan | Mine doesn't get past loading screen | 00:41 |
| LightTitan | and it used to | 00:41 |
| Slart | LightTitan: well.. you could always purge the sun java jre and reinstall it | 00:41 |
| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: cool t I'll have a look at it as soon as I have a change :) | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | LightTitan, run it from a terminal. look for error messages.. be sure you areusing the sun java, also. not the other java variants | 00:41 |
| VideoSmith | Hey guys, Konversation ain't a bad IRC client :P | 00:41 |
| ardchoille | crabgrass: you can copy them to /usr/share/gdm/themes with all the others | 00:41 |

| dmulholland | hey, I'm getting a strange error, anytime I launch firefox the window manager does nothing to it, it just launches full screen with no windows bar (all other windows work ok including thunderbird) | 00:42 |
| Slart | VideoSmith: have we said it is? | 00:42 |
| LightTitan | ya I have thought about installing 32 bit again... but everything is done and it's ALOT of work to redo it all | 00:42 |
| redvamp128 | Josher4 check out this site Forlong's Blog - I'm trying to comprehend the things I write <http://forlong.blogage.de/en> | 00:42 |
| Odd-rationale | dmulholland: is it on full screen? try F11 | 00:42 |
| LightTitan | ok thanks for the tips guys, I will try it all | 00:42 |
| VideoSmith | Slart: No :P | 00:42 |
| AJ_Z0 | No combination of 64 bit and 32 (mainly for web browser plugin) worked for me. YMMV | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | LightTitan, i belive that program works fine on my 64bit systems | 00:42 |
| mikevankuik | 2min... | 00:42 |
| redvamp128 | I have the handy tool for turning compiz on and off as well as his blog explains how to get the Advanced menu installed as well as how to configure the cube to run | 00:43 |
| LightTitan | ok, prolly something with my java, gonna run it from Term | 00:43 |
| Slart | VideoSmith: =).. then I'll counter with.. quassel isn't half bad either | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant recall any 64bit issues on my 2 bit ubuntu machines. | 00:43 |
| AJ_Z0 | LightTitan: I took the opportunity to install from the Alt CD and use full disk encryption | 00:43 |
| VideoSmith | Slart: Never heard of quassel. | 00:43 |
| sooth | term_: Removing packages installed from source is difficult. I would try installing tor again from source and looking at the output for the files it creates. Delete those files, uninstall the tor package, uninstall the vidalia package and then try reinstalling the vidalia package. It should install tor automatically. | 00:43 |
| redvamp128 | anyone else ever had the issue of the tittlebars dissapearing under compiz? | 00:43 |
| dmulholland | Odd-rationale: nope, not full screen, happens everytime i launch the application | 00:43 |
| LightTitan | I do get an error when running from term. The following | 00:44 |

| Odd-rationale | dmulholland: what window manager? | 00:44 |
| sooth | term_: If that doesn't work I would try #vidalia or posting to the launchpad "answers" section or the ubuntu forums. | 00:44 |

| redvamp128 | SuperMMT-- try synaptic look for mythbuntu | 00:54 |
| breakg | I didnt know firefox used active X | 00:54 |
| Slart | hello ricardo | 00:54 |
| SuperMMT | who what where? | 00:54 |
| israelito_solito | b_ thanks | 00:54 |
| nickrud_ | !hi | ricardo | 00:54 |
| ubottu | ricardo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:54 |
| SuperMMT | I haven't even downloaded it yet | 00:54 |
| Slart | breakg: I doubt it does | 00:54 |
| LightTitan | Dr_Willis: ok so how do I remove that weird one and the 1.5 and go with 1.6? | 00:54 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: did you set any system proxy outside firefox? | 00:54 |
| breakg | i thought activeX was IE | 00:55 |
| Slart | breakg: it is | 00:55 |
| krakati | no help... bye | 00:55 |
| AJ_Z0 | breakg: There is an ActiveX plugin for Firefox on Windows | 00:55 |
| redvamp128 | Supermmt hold on and I will find the site about it.. | Mythbuntu <http://www.mythbuntu.org/> | 00:55 |
| breakg | ya maybe i need it | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | LightTitan, ive no idea how ya got that one.. or where that Caco stuff came from I would remove java. then install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and see ah it installs. | 00:55 |
| ricardo | any one in portugal | 00:55 |
| redvamp128 | But if you already have ubuntu installed you can add the packages from synaptic | 00:55 |
| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, yes, SOCKS on 127.0.0.1 port 9050 | 00:55 |

| rogue780 | does anyone know a program to use to sync a windows mobile device or at least browse the files on it? | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: try disabling that... | 00:55 |
| Slart | rogue780: nautilus used to be able to do that.. | 00:56 |
| SuperMMT | redvamp128: Is this based on the last LTS? | 00:56 |
| breakg | ive installed everything i can from the repo's and nothing has gotten it to work, i think when i installed gnash it worked halfway, only a little sliver of the media would show a s apreview and when i went to play it - - nothing. | 00:56 |
| SuperMMT | redvamp128: Never mind, I see it's not | 00:56 |
| VideoSmith | !hi | Jack_Sparrow_Movie_Character_lol | 00:56 |
| ubottu | Jack_Sparrow_Movie_Character_lol: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:56 |
| rogue780 | Slart, ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize the windows mobile device to begin with | 00:56 |
| redvamp128 | They have one on 8.05--and 8.10 and 9.04 | 00:56 |
| VideoSmith | Just to be odd. | 00:56 |
| breakg | dolphin probably does that | 00:56 |
| breakg | it rocks | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | LightTitan, from the internet --> cacaovm is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation . | 00:56 |
| breakg | but KDE is ehh | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hi VideoSmith .. behave yourself | 00:57 |
| SuperMMT | redvamp128: the latest version doesn't work right. I would need the LTS, and really want the LTS | 00:57 |
| redvamp128 | SuperMMT- | 00:57 |
| rogue780 | breakg, I know. KDE does so many things right...but does it wrong in just enough places to make me stay with gnome | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | LightTitan, so it does not seemto be the offical sun java. :) | 00:57 |
| SuperMMT | redvamp128: Eh? | 00:57 |
| redvamp128 | SuperMMT- If you already have ubuntu installed you can install it through synaptic (mybuntu) | 00:57 |
| breakg | me too, i stay with gnome as well for the same reason | 00:57 |
| Slart | rogue780: then I think you'll have a hard time getting to the files.. most cell phones have some kind of basic file system transfer thingy.. at least using bluetooth | 00:57 |
| redvamp128 | and use both window managers | 00:57 |
| redvamp128 | | Mythbuntu <http://www.mythbuntu.org/> | 00:58 |

| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, it's disabled. what next? btw thanks for your help / patience... i've been trying to figure this out for 3 days now. bleh | 00:58 |
| redvamp128 | There is one other Media center based one but I can't remember the name -- | 00:58 |
| SuperMMT | redvamp128: I don't at the time, although I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 and it did not work correctly, however the latest LTS for Ubuntu worked perfect | 00:58 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: yeah, i don't know why it is being so complicated... | 00:58 |

| rogue780 | Slart, I guess what I'm asking for is an alternative to activesync, since that is what all windows mobile phones use as well as pocket pc PDA's....palm devices are supported so I only assume that their chief competitor is also supported at least minimally | 00:59 |
| mikevankuik | the bot a work must be a monster :P its getting fed like every hour at least :D | 00:59 |
| Odd-rationale | jmd9qs: what error message does it give? | 01:00 |

| Joe_ | if my controller has 6 sata ports (and supports raid) can I set up 2 raid arrays. IE one raid 1 array (primary OS discs) and then the other four as raid 10 (storage drives)? | 01:04 |
| Slart | I don't think so, Joe_ | 01:06 |
| Slart | Joe_: unless you paid serious money for it | 01:06 |
| mikevankuik | Joe_: doesn't seem likely... you proberbly need a second controller to controll the second raid... | 01:07 |
| Lowest | Is this purely a support IRC room or is it general purpose? | 01:07 |
| prymal_ | Lowest: it's for support on ubuntu | 01:07 |

| jmd9qs | Odd-rationale, if i tell foxyproxy to use "default" proxy for all urls, it works but still no tor... i think in this case "default" means no proxy | 01:09 |

| mikevankuik | Odd-rationale: is it normal that the alt cd will ask for the "Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ -Release amd64 (20081028)" cd? | 01:12 |

| The_Rebel | how do a set pulseaudio defaults permanently? | 01:12 |
| Digital7 | tsai: did yout ry mounting it twice in nautilus? | 01:12 |
| tylor | it will tell you connected media | 01:12 |
| linxeh | is there a way to set up host aliases with ssh somehow? like rsh used to use .rhosts - so I dont have to keep typing long domain names / ips ? | 01:12 |
| linxeh | is it .shosts or something ? | 01:13 |
| Digital7 | tsai: sometimes the livecd seems to spit out errors saying it failed to mount, when the drive is in fact mounted | 01:13 |
| tsai | tylor - we did try twice | 01:13 |
| gnutron | linxeh: use the /etc/hosts file if i'm reading you correctly. | 01:13 |
| The_Rebel | how do a set pulseaudio defaults permanently? | 01:13 |
| tsai | i'm trying the df-h | 01:13 |
| tylor | it should tell you the connected media and you should mount it with the mount command | 01:13 |
| The_Rebel | oops wrong channel | 01:14 |
| The_Rebel | didn't mean to ask twice | 01:14 |
| gnutron | tsai: dh -h needs aspace | 01:14 |
| linxeh | gnutron: no because that requires root privileges | 01:14 |
| The_Rebel | now asking in #pulseaudio | 01:14 |
| tylor | tsai: as root mkdir /media/hd | 01:14 |
| tsai | gnutron- ok | 01:14 |
| linxeh | I think its .shosts | 01:14 |
| linxeh | or is that different ? | 01:14 |
| tylor | then sudo mount /dev/{output of df -h} /media/hd | 01:15 |
| linxeh | it is isnt it :o it does equivalent hosts. damn | 01:15 |
| Joe_ | I didn't know they made 4GB single sticks of DDR3 already... | 01:15 |
| tsai | tylor - trying now | 01:15 |
| Joe_ | of course, the price just made me scream | 01:15 |
| redvamp128 | Xchat? | 01:16 |
| linxeh | gnutron: ok, its in ~/.ssh/config you can add host aliases, with ports too :) | 01:16 |
| tsai | tylor- dh -h says command not found | 01:16 |
| gnutron | tsai: my bad df -h | 01:16 |
| tylor | tsai: df -h | 01:16 |

| gnutron | linxeh: are you using a fresh install of intrepid? clean install | 01:20 |
| tylor | tsai: first run "df -h" , the output will be all connected drives | 01:21 |

| linxeh | gnutron: no, I'm using various systems, but generally hardy | 01:22 |
| tylor | then just move to that folder | 01:22 |
| linxeh | gnutron: why ? | 01:22 |
| gnutron | linxeh: i must need to re-install ssh, ive used this box for years and my ~/.ssh dir has one file, known_hosts thats it | 01:22 |
| Khomeini | Does anyone have any experience with Ubuntu on the Acer Aspire 1? | 01:22 |
| linxeh | gnutron: yes, create a config file | 01:23 |
| gnutron | linxeh: thank you | 01:23 |
| linxeh | gnutron: and make it chmod 600. you can put other files in there too - eg authorized_keys so you can set up passwordless ssh | 01:23 |
| tsai | tylor - getting chatzilla installed for him. Hold..... | 01:23 |

| Khomeini | My Acer Aspire 1 has Ubuntu 8.10 on it currently, and the wireless suddenly shut off. It has a toggle switch on the front, but the indicators don't work. How can I enable the wireless through the software? | 01:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Khomeini: i've had that happen before, but i usually restart X, and when i log back in, it works | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Khomeini, the light one wireelss dosent light up is a known issue. i recall.. you can use the switch I think.. but it dosent light up when its on. | 01:25 |
| Khomeini | IndyGunFreaks: Restarting didn't work. Originally the computer was able to connect, but suddenly the wireless turned off. | 01:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Khomeini: can't explain it, mine is fine | 01:26 |
| Khomeini | Dr_Willis: I know the toggle light doesn't work, but my wireless switch gave me problems before. Is there a way to enable it through the software instead of the switch? | 01:26 |
| tylor | tsai: you there? | 01:28 |
| tsai | tylor - yes, waiting on my friend to finish installing chatzilla | 01:28 |

| tyrant | Khomeini, is the wireless working at all ? | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | LightTitan, looks like you have no java installed.. I would install ubuntu-restricted-extras and let it isntall java | 01:33 |

| \Kira | hdz: take the data you want off it, then reinstall | 01:38 |
| hdz | i forgot i had cp'd some source program to / came back to that tty screen hours later | 01:38 |

| stdin | hdz: but you can use both on either Gnome or KDE | 01:50 |
| josher4 | betterhands: That is what I did, it works 100% great | 01:50 |
| Chaotic_Descent | the iPod error I get is this (which I don't understand, but it mentions NTFS, which adds to my theory that it's related to the problems mounting my USB SD card reader which works in Windows) Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. | 01:51 |

| Code_Bleu | I am running backuppc on the local pc and for some reason it stopped working...and when i look at the logs it says that it can not create hardlinks between two different directories on the same NFS share | 01:59 |

| TheFunkbomb | Good evening | 02:22 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: Yeah, hold on | 02:22 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: Intrepid, or hardy? | 02:23 |
| vocx | So. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 without a swap partition and I haven't created a file to use as swap space. But after 12 minutes, my computer is put to sleep automatically. This is impressive and unexpected. What gives? How does this work? | 02:23 |
| cmv583 | hi all! trying to find what wrong with cd-rw drive. cdrecord -scanbus shows it. Googled and tried a few things. http://pastebin.com/m2d57f7dd | 02:24 |
| TheFunkbomb | So, I went to Borders today and they had the Official Ubuntu book for 8.04 (Hardy???) Does anyone know when the Intrepid book is coming out? | 02:24 |
| Nubun | Ah, that is a good one.. I have Ubuntu Remix, which is a cut down version to support netbook computers | 02:24 |
| Nubun | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR, did get the image onto a USB and install it. | 02:24 |
| mdg2 | Can anyone help me set the date/time to show a 12 hour clock? | 02:24 |
| vocx | Well, it is not actually put to sleep, more like it hibernates, because everything is turned off, the monitor, drives, fans, all but a blinking LED. | 02:24 |
| saera | im not a sudoer :( | 02:24 |
| mdg2 | at the CLI? | 02:24 |
| lifenova | vocx: swap is the partition that the system uses if you don't have enough memory, and is also used to store unused data to conserve memory | 02:24 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: And there isn't a channel dedicated to ubuntu-remix? B/c I don't know if we officially support it or not | 02:25 |
| WebcamWonder | By "we" I mean this channel | 02:25 |
| vocx | lifenova, I know about that, I'm not new to this. But read carefully, I don't have swap space! | 02:25 |
| Nubun | Believe you must support it. | 02:25 |
| bpat1434 | I've installed filezilla with "sudo apt-get install filezilla" but now when I try to start filezilla, it just sits there.... any ideas? | 02:25 |
| lifenova | vocx: Apologies, you might try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20do%20I%20add%20more%20swap? | 02:26 |
| vocx | bpat1434, go to lauchpad, search for filezilla, and see if there is a bug reported against that. | 02:26 |
| lifenova | vocx: I think I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, hehe. Are you curious why your laptop hibernates? | 02:27 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: Is it 4306 or 3406? | 02:28 |
| Nubun | BM4306 | 02:28 |
| vocx | lifenova, I have a PC that hibernates without swap. That's what I'm saying. How can this be possible? That's it, impressed? | 02:28 |

| vocx | arakthor, well it turns off completely. Unless the motherboard is secretly powering the RAM modules in some way. That's why I'm impressed. Is this even documented? Notice that I just fresh installed 8.10, I had been using 7.10 so I missed quite a bit of progress. | 02:32 |

| TheFunkbomb | Nubun, do you have windows installed? | 02:33 |
| Nubun | Not on the same machine | 02:33 |
| Ryan_Delaney | SealedWithAKiss: If so, you can fix that by rebooting into windows and shutting down properly. Otherwise, you can mount in the command line with $ sudo mount /device /mountpoint -t auto -o force | 02:34 |
| vocx | bpat1434, you mean your wxwidgets version or filezillas? Seems like a terrible bug, it should probably be reported... | 02:34 |

| === stever_ is now known as stever | ||
| vocx | bpat1434, according to my "aptitude" filezilla in 8.10 needs wxwidgets 2.8.8.0 or greater, so that means you are using some other filezilla, you are probably using jaunty, aren't you? | 02:37 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Ryan_Delaney, your quite right I didn't shut down properly. So shutting down properly will essentially solve my problem? I have already tried forcing a mount and it didn't work, I only had access to the filesystem, not any actual files. | 02:37 |

| bacter | josher4 do you use the K3b | 02:38 |
| Ryan_Delaney | SealedWithAKiss: It is not possible to mount an NTFS partition that is marked as in use except with the force option, so yes, the disk mounter and fstab will not mount "in use" partitions. If this is the cause of your problem -- and I can't say for sure from here -- then shutting down properly should resolve it. | 02:38 |
| vassler | I'm running ubuntu/kde how do make the time 12 hour format instead of 24 hour format? | 02:38 |
| vocx | MrNaz, usually means grub can't be found in the Master Boot Record. Put the Ubuntu CD back in, and reinstall grub. | 02:38 |
| josher4 | bacter: Not really | 02:38 |
| vassler | I'm running ubuntu/kde how do make the time 12 hour format instead of 24 hour format? On the task bar bottom | 02:39 |

| WebcamWonder | Nubun: YOu should be able to. I don't know, which files to take however | 02:40 |
| Ryan_Delaney | scwizard: There are minimalist distributions you might want to try that focus on using the least resources possible | 02:40 |

| Tailsfan | yeah, like OpenGEU | 02:40 |
| kantlivelong | is it possible to merge two mics with ~/.asoundrc into dsnoop or can i do seperate "dsnoop"s? | 02:40 |

| bpat1434 | vocx: 3.1.2.0-ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| vocx | scwizard, I believe most of the memory is used by graphical apps, so obviously using a command line version would help. Or maybe a lighter desktop manager like xfce | 02:42 |
| Flannel | Tailsfan: What about the server edition are you looking for? | 02:42 |
| Ryan_Delaney | scwizard: You might try xubuntu also as a middle way | 02:42 |
| scwizard | perhaps it's gnome/kde that are responsible for ubuntu taking up so much | 02:42 |
| scwizard | vocx: windows XP has graphical apps and has a 70MB footprint or so | 02:43 |
| Tailsfan | As in for when I try to install it on the one tower I have, on the hard disk scanning phase, it continously flashes, and then it goes into "Failed" mod | 02:43 |
| gnutron | vassler: right click on the clock in the taskbar, choose properties. | 02:43 |
| Tailsfan | mode* | 02:43 |
| Ryan_Delaney | Yes, AFAIK the desktop environment is at least half of the memory footprint, especially with compiz and so on | 02:43 |
| scwizard | Ryan_Delaney: sounds like a possibility | 02:43 |
| Mickmeister | Ryan_Delaney, it's now mounted the partition but I can access any files. There's just a directory structure with no files. | 02:43 |
| vocx | scwizard, you may be mistaken for a troll if you come to a Linux channel with such assumption. My windows certainly doesn't use 70 MB. | 02:43 |

| Flannel | Tailsfan: Try using the alternate CD instead of the server CD. | 02:45 |
| Tailsfan | Alright | 02:45 |
| Flannel | Tailsfan: the server CD has a server kernel, which has less hardware support than the desktop one. But you can use the alternate CD to install a command-line only system | 02:45 |

| ErnieDuglas | runs all this like a champ | 02:53 |
| bpat1434 | vocx... okay | 02:53 |
| cornell | Well, Jack_Sparrow, I got there from the update to 8.10 page, didn't think that'd be old and expired. | 02:54 |
| ErnieDuglas | my work is interested too --- looking to fund what I can. | 02:54 |
| Flannel | ErnieDuglas: If you install openssh-server, you've got ssh working (assuming proper port forwards). If you point your ftp clients at your box with the ssh server, and choose "sftp" instead of ftp, you'll be able to then connect, without anything else. | 02:54 |
| ErnieDuglas | for dev | 02:54 |
| keres | does anyone know how to start python glade? | 02:54 |
| ErnieDuglas | I want stuff that runs on MacOS too though ideal. I know I know it's apples & oranges but still | 02:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cornell, I was looking at the earlier link posted | 02:55 |
| ErnieDuglas | its very nice mac is coming with us. | 02:55 |
| vocx | joejc, I'd say an nVidia one, doesn't need more than 64 MB. | 02:55 |
| cornell | k | 02:55 |
| joejc | vocx, any specifics? | 02:55 |
| quaal | could someone assist me with setting samba permissions so that when i save a file from the samba client to the samba server, the samba server has complete permissions to the file? i have already tried setting the create mask in smb.conf to 0777. it does nothing | 02:55 |
| lar50n | if i changed the screen resolu in ibex and made my menus inaccessible by mouse, how could change it back? | 02:56 |
| vocx | joejc, nope, sorry. Although I would advice against VIA. Stay with Intel, Ati and nVidia, if you must. | 02:56 |
| ErnieDuglas | quaal >> when you are running the cmd, who is launching it? | 02:56 |
| quaal | i still get a -rwx-w---- file in a drwxrwsrwx directory | 02:56 |
| quaal | ErnieDuglas, i'm saving the file to the samba share with firefox. so i assume my client user is running it | 02:56 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | can someone tell me why my printer works sometimes and sometimes it don't ? | 02:56 |
| ErnieDuglas | quaal > i.e. you may want to try cmd with different user, or even in a batch ? or cron? when is it running? | 02:56 |
| ErnieDuglas | quaal >> with FF? hmmmmm not sure about that. They should try native interface id say | 02:57 |
| cornell | Gonna try again, if I don't get back to y'all... thank you | 02:57 |
| ErnieDuglas | quaal > just 'explorer' window | 02:57 |
| Nubun | Wecamwonder ...having a problem with sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o | 02:58 |
| quaal | ErnieDuglas, i'm not using windows. | 02:58 |
| Nubun | sudo unable to resolve host | 02:58 |
| ErnieDuglas | quaal > but then translate that, then. so, for gnome it would be... um... what is gnomes file mananger? | 02:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nautilus | 02:58 |
| ErnieDuglas | yes! | 02:59 |
| Nubun | and cannot open input file broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/w1_apsta_mimo.o | 02:59 |
| puneeth | .deb packes are not installing in ubuntu..! | 02:59 |
| ErnieDuglas | tell them to use nautilus to trans your files not thru FF | 02:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puneeth, Are you getting them from our repo or from some other source | 02:59 |
| quaal | ErnieDuglas, yes, when i drag the file from the desktop into the share, then it works properly | 02:59 |
| quaal | ErnieDuglas, so this is some kind of a firefox problem? | 02:59 |
| puneeth | Jack_Sparrow, from different source as in this case, opera 9.63 deb | 03:00 |
| cornell | mmm.... "No valid mirror found", "... no mirror entry for the upgrade was found.This can happen if you run an internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date. Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose 'Yes' here it will update all 'feisty' to 'gutsy' entries. ..." | 03:00 |
| ErnieDuglas | yes & no. It's just that one is "hookt up" and the other isnt yet id wager/guess. | 03:00 |
| ErnieDuglas | ;) | 03:00 |
| cornell | Do I want to choose Yes? | 03:00 |
| Y-Town | anyone know a good GUI file sync app? | 03:00 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder | 03:00 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: And it doesn't go forward to finish the command? sudo is known to have trouble, but carries out the command | 03:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puneeth, Look for a readme wher eyou are getting the programs you are trying to install. Not all debs are created equal | 03:01 |
| puneeth | Jack_Sparrow; i couldnt install virtualbox cus of the same problem | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puneeth, virtualbox from our repos works just fine | 03:01 |
| Nubun | sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o didn't have a problem with this ?? | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puneeth, Getting debs from other sources can really trash a system | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !debian | 03:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 03:02 |
| puneeth | Jack_Sparrow; how about opera...? version 9.63 aint available. i could easily install 9.62 the same way... it gives some sorta error | 03:02 |
| Mene-Mene | My MP3 is showing the wrong length. | 03:02 |
| Mene-Mene | I've googled it and it shows up that its probably variable bit rate. | 03:02 |
| Mene-Mene | This problem has occured before, but has yet to be resolved as far as I can see. | 03:02 |
| ErnieDuglas | Flannel: ty! I copied those directions up there I will try them | 03:03 |
| puneeth | !opera | 03:03 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 03:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info opera | 03:03 |
| ubottu | Package opera does not exist in intrepid | 03:03 |
| Mene-Mene | I'm in Hardy Heron 8.04 | 03:03 |
| Dexi | hey all | 03:04 |
| Mene-Mene | I've tried both Rhythm and Totem. | 03:04 |
| kab | how can I build a schedule like the ubuntu schedule? is there any tool to do this or it's hand work? | 03:04 |
| Laderius | Where does Xchat install to? | 03:04 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: Sorry, I am at loss. I don't really know | 03:04 |
| Mene-Mene | In Totem it continues to play but I need to jump to the 14 minute section. | 03:04 |
| ErnieDuglas | don't use opera---- My Uncle helped build Netscape ! | 03:04 |
| ErnieDuglas | that evolved into Mozilla | 03:04 |
| Flannel | kab: What do you mean? | 03:04 |
| ErnieDuglas | then into Firefox | 03:04 |
| kab | Flannel, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule | 03:05 |
| ErnieDuglas | :) Use Firefox for the winnnn. | 03:05 |
| Nubun | It managed to run ! | 03:05 |
| kab | Flannel, I want to build a schedule like this | 03:05 |
| Nubun | now at the final step | 03:05 |
| Flannel | kab: The table itself is just a table in wiki markup. | 03:05 |
| SSilver2k | please someone | 03:05 |
| SSilver2k | how can i set the resolution from the command line? is xrandr the only way | 03:05 |
| kab | Flannel, ahh ok, thank you so much! | 03:05 |
| SSilver2k | i have an ubuntu system, stock 8.10, will not be hooked up to the internet, so just tock 8.10. it keeps switching resolution to a widescreen res, but i need it to stay at 1024x768, how can i do that? | 03:05 |
| FloodBot1 | SSilver2k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:05 |
| Laderius | Where does Xchat install to? im using ubuntu 8.10 | 03:06 |
| ErnieDuglas | SSilver2k: you want to set your X config | 03:06 |
| vocx | Laderius, what do you want to do with it? | 03:06 |
| Dexi | Laderius: /usr/lib/ | 03:06 |
| Nubun | sudo chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy problem with this line | 03:06 |
| Laderius | vocx install a mrc script | 03:06 |
| Dexi | actually | 03:06 |
| Dexi | no thats wrong | 03:06 |
| SSilver2k | i checked my xorg.conf - there were three lines in it | 03:06 |
| SSilver2k | all saying auto | 03:06 |
| SSilver2k | didnt look like any normal xorg.conf | 03:06 |
| Laderius | dexi ll i need to do is install a script | 03:07 |
| Dexi | Laderius: put it in /home/yourusername/.xchat2 | 03:07 |
| nitrusoxyde | toast | 03:07 |
| ErnieDuglas | SSilver2k: yes you want it to have the res 1024x768 inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:07 |
| Laderius | Thx dexi | 03:07 |
| Dexi | np | 03:07 |
| Xaros | Could someone recommend a good piano keyboard program for Linux? | 03:07 |
| ErnieDuglas | SSilver2k: make it the only entry. and leave the Scan rate the same as it says (I find it's OK it only reports wrong number) | 03:08 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder what is sudo | 03:08 |
| WebcamWonder | !sudo | Nubun | 03:08 |
| ubottu | Nubun: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 03:08 |
| Nubun | sudo chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy this does not work ? | 03:08 |
| vocx | SSilver2k, since 8.04, xorg.conf file is almost empty, you would only modify it to override some options, or when the x server doesn't detect everything for you, as seems the case with you. | 03:08 |
| Laderius | dexi its not working how do i execute it? im trying /load -rs de4.mrc | 03:08 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: What does it say? | 03:09 |
| canon247 | Hi all, I am trying to mount my main harddrive using ubuntu 8.10 live dvd thru the File Browswer and it's not mounting. What is going wrong? | 03:09 |
| Nubun | cannot resolve host | 03:09 |
| Dexi | Laderius: use a full path | 03:09 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: And is it working, or did it quit? | 03:09 |
| Mene-Mene | Ubuntu itself recognizes it as the wrong time. | 03:09 |
| Nubun | unable to resolve host "myhostname" | 03:09 |
| ErnieDuglas | SSilver2k: er, the only Resolution entry. so that it only chooses that one you want | 03:09 |
| ocRob | canon247: what cmd are you using | 03:10 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: try iwconfig now | 03:10 |
| Laderius | dexi /load -rs ~/home/myusername/.xchat2/de4.mrc? | 03:10 |
| Mene-Mene | Resolved. | 03:10 |
| Dexi | Laderius: if that doesnt work, restart xchat and it should load automatically | 03:10 |
| vocx | canon247, how is that? Does it give an error? Have you tried mounting from the command line? | 03:10 |
| Nubun | no wireless extentions | 03:10 |
| SSilver2k | there used to be xf86conf that i used years ago to select those and creat an x conf, anything like that now | 03:11 |
| Nubun | have not run this command sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 03:11 |
| ErnieDuglas | hey has ne1 gotten DUKE NUKEM 3D to work on here using YANG or some other way of doing it???!!!? ***** <<<<< Important . :) | 03:11 |
| canon247 | not quite familiar with the command lines.......is there a specific comman line i should be using? | 03:11 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: chmod has not visual response, so it shouldn't tell you anything | 03:11 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: It shouldn't really matter, but go ahead and try | 03:11 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: As you said earlier, I'm at rescue operation mode now -- Exceute a shell in /dev/mps/root or in the installer environment or choose a different root file system or reboot the system? I don't want to interrupt the interesting convo in #ubuntu-offtopic. :) | 03:11 |
| Nubun | can we change the permissions manually | 03:11 |
| vocx | SSilver2k, no, configuration of the X Server is supposed to be greatly improved now. But you still are able to modify xorg.conf. | 03:11 |
| Nubun | rather than using sudo? | 03:11 |
| ocRob | canon247: do you know what the device name is | 03:11 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: It works, the error you see is from sudo, not chmod, and it continues, and doesn't really care | 03:12 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: Um, I'd imagine the former. But again, with the encrypted stuff, I'm not really sure. | 03:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nubun, Hey Peter, how is it going tonight | 03:12 |
| vocx | canon247, type "sudo fdisk -l" to list your disks, then you can use a command such as "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /some/point" | 03:12 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: Suppose we go with the usual procedure? It did asked me for the password so I'm sure it should be same (in boot). | 03:12 |
| ErnieDuglas | SSilver2k: a version or two back, you could still run 'dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg' and get back in. I have no idea now a days!!! | 03:12 |
| canon247 | have identified device name but each time i click and try to mount receive window message saying unable to mount volume | 03:12 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: You don't want it in the installer, you want it in your harddrive. I'm just not sure what /dev/msp/root is | 03:13 |
| \Kira | whats the command to see what services are running on my machine? | 03:13 |
| Nubun | yes can see the permissions changed for those directories | 03:13 |
| Flannel | \Kira: `ps aux` will suffice | 03:13 |
| ocRob | \Kira: ps aux | 03:13 |
| \Kira | ocRob: thanks | 03:13 |
| Nubun | who is Peter ? :-) | 03:13 |
| storrgie | anyone know an ETA on the forums? | 03:13 |
| jinja-sheep | It's my root. (Running rescue from broken disk). <mps being my hostname> | 03:13 |
| barbarella | \Kira:netstat | 03:13 |
| Nubun | jac_Sparrow | 03:13 |
| Flannel | storrgie: try #ubuntuforums | 03:13 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: It's my root. (Running rescue from broken disk). <mps being my hostname> | 03:14 |
| canon247 | im actually tying to mount the hardrive of my cpu ...not sure what its name actually is however its showing up labeled as 245 gb media | 03:14 |
| saiy | hello everyone | 03:14 |
| storrgie | Question about Xconfig... when i set it up last time i specified something like busid: ... but i dont remember how I did it. | 03:14 |
| vocx | canon247, I told you to do this is a terminal "sudo fdisk -l" | 03:14 |
| ocRob | canon247: on the desktop? sounds like its already mounted | 03:14 |
| Nubun | sudo ifconfig wlan0 up this says Operation not supported | 03:15 |
| ocRob | canon247: if you see an icon on the desktop that says 245 gb media its already mounted | 03:15 |
| Nubun | can i simply reboot the machine at this point ? | 03:15 |
| Leo__ | hi,all: i am having problems with sound,anyone who can help me with that? | 03:15 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder ? | 03:15 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: YOu could try | 03:16 |
| boscoslife | what would the command be to sync using symlinks (/var/www to /home/bosco/public_html my website is www.boscoslife.com) | 03:16 |
| vocx | ocRob, his 245 gb media appears in nautilus, which may or may not be mounted | 03:16 |
| turtle_ | hello everyone | 03:16 |
| jmd9qs | i've been unable to set up Tor to work in Intrepid 8.10... can someone please help me figure this out? my torrc file is located: http://paste.ubuntu.com/104183/ | 03:17 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: ln -s /var/www /home/bosco/public_html | 03:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !tor | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 03:17 |
| turtle_ | tor is for privacy right? | 03:17 |
| jmd9qs | yes | 03:17 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder now rebooting .... | 03:17 |
| ocRob | vocx: it wouldn't show up if it wasn't mounted.. | 03:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: Great | 03:17 |
| Nubun | lets hope it works | 03:17 |
| ocRob | canon247: cat /etc/mtab | 03:17 |
| ErnieDuglas | even maker of tor says dont count on tor tho | 03:17 |
| ErnieDuglas | ha | 03:17 |
| ErnieDuglas | :/ | 03:18 |
| jmd9qs | Jack_Sparrow, this isn't for irc, it just isn't working period | 03:18 |
| canon247 | ocRob i typed the sudo fdisk-l command and it cannot be found | 03:18 |
| Drace | My windows is messed up, and it crashed the last time I could open it, so now I cant open up Ubuntu. Any help? | 03:18 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: I ran the shell. I'm in root. Could you assist me? I see vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-etc. | 03:18 |
| ocRob | sudo fdisk -l | 03:18 |
| vocx | ocRob, you are wrong, it shows up. If it remains unmounted until you explicitly click on it | 03:18 |
| Leo__ | can someone help me with the sound problem? | 03:18 |
| \Kira | my samba and cups are really messed up, but I dont need them. But, every time I go to do something in apt-get, I get a long list of errors about cups and samba stuff. How can I remove these errors? | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jmd9qs, Just pointing out that many sites wont let you connect while using tor due to the abuse factor | 03:18 |
| turtle_ | Drace, you might have to reinstall, thats what I ended up doing | 03:18 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: Go to /boot/ and see if you have a vmlinuz there, and a initrd | 03:18 |
| ocRob | vocx: ah you are right | 03:19 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: i have more than one website so is it ln -s /var/www/www.boscoslife.com #that file in that directory# /home/bosco/public_html | 03:19 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder do i need to install those .deb packages too ? | 03:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | canon247, Last letter is L | 03:19 |
| ocRob | ln -s dir/ symlink/ | 03:19 |
| Nubun | did only install the firmware | 03:19 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: ^ | 03:19 |
| jinja-sheep | Flannel: There are a directory boot. But it's empty. <_< | 03:19 |
| jmd9qs | Jack_Sparrow: cool cool. can you suggest a better channel for this question? no one ever answers on the Tor channel... | 03:19 |
| Drace | My Windows has major erros and it cannot boot. I cant run Ubuntu now either...any help? | 03:19 |
| turtle_ | ive learned not to grow too attached to my data even though itd be great to have it all again | 03:19 |
| turtle_ | will transmission block the copyright police? | 03:19 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: If you ran the dpkg commands, those installed the deb files | 03:20 |
| Flannel | jinja-sheep: Ah, well.... that could be one reason. Um, check your fstab (less /etc/fstab) is boot on a separate partition? | 03:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jmd9qs, tor is where I would ask, but genreally need to wait most of a day for answers | 03:20 |
| vocx | ocRob, do you know about the mounter applet? It only shows those drives that are not in fstab? Do you know why? | 03:20 |
| Phase | So, at some point in my computers always-on state, sound just stops working. I've tried restarting pulseaudio (/etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart) but nothing comes up except another command prompt, pulseaudio -k doesn't work either. The only way I've seen that fixes it -- is restarting.. continue cycle. Any ideas? | 03:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | turtle_, Nope | 03:20 |
| ocRob | vocx: why is that | 03:20 |
| Drace | My windows has major errors and it cannot boot. How can I run Ubuntu now? | 03:20 |
| jmd9qs | Jack_Sparrow, yup, figures. thanx anyway | 03:20 |
| \Kira | Drace: please be more descriptive. Tell us exactly whats happening (errors on screen, how far the startup gets) | 03:20 |
| ocRob | vocx: that are NOT in fstab? | 03:20 |
| Drace | Ubuntu has errors mounting | 03:20 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: it does not work still what am i doing wrong | 03:20 |
| Drace | You know the one it gives when windows crashed unexpectedly | 03:20 |
| barbarella | \Kira:apt-get remove samba cups, if you don't need it | 03:20 |
| jinja-sheep | I see /etc/fstab. Bunch of... information about the hdd displayed. I think it's in separate partition on account of encrypted lvm. | 03:21 |
| \Kira | barbarella: causes the same errors | 03:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drace, How was ubuntu installed and please dont say wubi | 03:21 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: what'd you type | 03:21 |
| joejc | if my i lost my 3d acceleration when upgraded to 8.10 and still dont have it other distros could the kernal be the problem? | 03:21 |
| Drace | Through a mounted image o.O | 03:21 |
| ocRob | vocx: i never use the mounter applet, cli :P | 03:21 |
| vocx | ocRob, I formated my hard drive in such a way that reserved space for 2 Windows partitions. So after install the Windows partitions are not there, but nevertheless I can mount them with a single click in the applet. I'm just trying to figure out how this works. | 03:21 |
| Drace | I just downloaded it and ran the image file | 03:22 |
| ocRob | vocx: ahh i have my windows partitions in /etc/fstab so it mounts them on boot up | 03:22 |
| Drace | Didnt burn it to a cd.. | 03:22 |
| Nubun | webcam wonder did not install the deb packages with with dbkg | 03:22 |
| \Kira | barbarella: it reports that the packages are not installed, then trys to configure and start the services, obviously failing. Every time I do anything in apt-get, at the end it tries to configure and start samba a cups.... | 03:22 |
| Nubun | sorry dpkg | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drace, Cant help with that.. | 03:22 |
| boscoslife | Onyx: my ip address/website is still linked to /var/www ln -s /var/www/www.boscolife.com /home/bosco/public_html | 03:22 |
| Drace | Ah.. | 03:22 |
| turtle_ | Drace, I try to one OS per CPU from now on | 03:22 |
| Nubun | there is a 32bit and 64bit version | 03:22 |
| Nubun | which one should i install? | 03:22 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder | 03:22 |
| turtle_ | it happened to me more than once | 03:22 |
| barbarella | \Kira:what does dpkg -l |grep samba say? | 03:22 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: : my ip address/website is still linked to /var/www ln -s /var/www/www.boscolife.com /home/bosco/public_html | 03:23 |
| WebcamWonder | <WebcamWonder> Nubun: If you ran the dpkg commands, those installed the deb files | 03:23 |
| Drace | Ubuntu says if you can force it with mount -ntsf.... or something | 03:23 |
| vocx | ocRob, I made a partition for home and another one, like /ABC, but those ones are in fstab so they don't appear in the applet, not in nautilus with the single click automount capability. | 03:23 |
| Drace | DIdnt work for me | 03:23 |
| jinja-sheep | I see /etc/fstab. Bunch of... information about the hdd displayed. I think it's in separate partition on account of encrypted lvm. I see a boot partition (sda5). | 03:23 |
| Drace | So its not possible? | 03:23 |
| turtle_ | Drace, do you have to computers? | 03:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drace, You cant run ubuntu from ntfs | 03:24 |

| vocx | jinja-sheep, mmm... then you need proper repositories? Maybe your system is also broken in the apt area. Check /etc/apt/ is it empty? | 03:33 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: Did you already run thios command before? | 03:33 |
| Nubun | nope | 03:33 |
| josher4 | Drace: Just boot from the livecd | 03:33 |

| Nubun | they did | 03:34 |
| Drace | Alright thanks...ill give it a try | 03:34 |

| vocx | jinja-sheep, at this point it seems easier to just reinstall, don't you think? | 03:35 |
| josher4 | Drace: Ok, tell me how it works out. Yw | 03:35 |
| josher4 | .... | 03:35 |
| WebcamWonder | Nubun: You should have really ran those commands before, and stopped if they hadn't executed. Does iwconfig show wlan0? | 03:35 |

| Nubun | great | 03:36 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, then I don't know. Copy the /boot from some other PC, and then you'd need to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to the correct partitions | 03:36 |

| \Kira | vocx: google? | 03:44 |
| Nubun | webcam wonder | 03:44 |
| SimonX | wolter: with hardy and intrepid possible. | 03:44 |
| Gustavo_G | Dyanmic RAM. (Capacitors hold the bits and so they need to be cycled so that they don't discharge). SRAM (static ram) just needs to be powered because each bit is a flip-flop. | 03:44 |

| SimonX | so you wanna set your wlan static ip address? | 03:45 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: i am actually able to go to myserverip/bosco~ and have it pull up the index.html in /home/bosco/public_html/ | 03:45 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: ok the userdir mod is enabled | 03:46 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: if you want to link your ~/public_html you need to rm -rf ~/public_html (assuming you don't want anything in that directory tree) and ln -s /var/www ~/public_html | 03:46 |
| Gustavo_G | vocx: I am a linux noob, so I don't know where it would be documented. If the computer is still receiving power, and there is no way that it could have dumped the RAM into the harddrive, then I can't imagine any other way than for the RAM to remain persistent. That's the difference between Sleeping, and hibernation. Hibernation consumes NO power. Sleeping consumes enough to keep the DRAM... | 03:46 |
| Gustavo_G | ...refreshed. | 03:46 |
| Guest94367 | I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix bootsplash problems. I managed to mess somethings up so I don't have a graphical boot screen anymore | 03:46 |
| vocx | \Kira, Gustavo_G, Guest94367, ocRob so as you see, my PC does some sort of hibernation. But what happens if I actually unplug it. Maybe the RAM was in fact being cycled by that tinny LED. | 03:46 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: then why is it that when i go to www.boscoslife.com it still lynks /var/www/index.html | 03:47 |
| ocRob | Guest94367: heh i know its on the forums..which are down right now, can't remmeber how i did it before | 03:47 |
| vocx | Gustavo_G, yes, you are most probably correct, but this nevertheless amazed me... | 03:47 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: I have copied the files to /boot. What do I need to do? Editing the GRUB, you mentioned. | 03:47 |
| SimonX | wolter: just edit your Network Connection ( Right Click ) | 03:47 |
| Gustavo_G | If you unplug it, the information in RAM is lost. It's technically not hibernation. | 03:47 |
| MyName | when not driven, how can programmers produce quality? the bain of this community? | 03:47 |
| MyName | the reason for lack of market share? | 03:47 |
| Gustavo_G | I am trying to install a series of .deb files, but there is apparently a dependency between them and so I guess there is a proper order in which to install them. Is there anything I can have dpkg do to resolve these dependencies? | 03:47 |
| Guest94367 | I know about using the startup manager, but it doesn't work for me, so I switched to terminal commands. I wanted to change the image and for some reason it lost it | 03:47 |
| josher4 | ... | 03:47 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: b/c apache still sees the root dir for your webserver as /var/www, all your doing basically is linking boscoslife.com/~user to boscoslife.com | 03:47 |
| vocx | Gustavo_G, so it's sort of a fake hibernation, that is until you unplug it, ha! | 03:48 |
| Nubun | webcamwonder the problem yet persists | 03:48 |
| LinuxNub | Can someone tell me the command i need to edit xorg.conf? :] | 03:48 |
| ocRob | Nubun: wait for the forums to come back up... | 03:48 |
| vocx | Gustavo_G, what are those debs? | 03:48 |
| Gustavo_G | vocx: Yeah. Just keep in mind that hibernation copies the contents of RAM into a file in the hard drive. You can unplug the computer, turn it back on, and the state will be restored. | 03:48 |
| SimonX | I love Intrepid!! Muaaaaach! | 03:49 |
| Gustavo_G | It's a bunch of tools (mostly compiler stuff, i think) to cross compile linux for an AVR32 procsesor. | 03:49 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: i am actually able to go to myserverip/bosco~ and have it pull up the index.html in /home/bosco/public_html/index.html i have 3 users and 3 sites | 03:49 |
| vocx | Gustavo_G, yes, I know. Hibernation is useful for laptops, but since this is a PC, this sort of fake-hibernation is still useful, since I don't need to unplug it. | 03:49 |

| ocRob | boscoslife: ~/public_html is the webroot for host/~user, /var/www is still the main webroot for your host | 03:50 |
| Gustavo_G | Yeah, and recovering from "sleeping" is much quicker, because the computer doesn't need to load the hard drive RAM image into RAM | 03:50 |

| vocx | jinja-sheep, the /boot/grub/menu.lst has info on the partitions, probably lines like "root=UUID=1223-123235-34234-2423" or root=/dev/sda1 those need to be changed | 03:50 |

| _Cid_ | LinuxNub: I dont use GUI either, we in the same boat ;-) try: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | webbhawk_h4x0r71, pay attention :P | 03:54 |
| DavidSchles | anyone know what i can do about these kernel panics? | 03:54 |
| Nubun | had gone through a complex setup with webcamwonder | 03:54 |
| exodus_ms | LinuxNub: vi is terminal | 03:54 |
| nazraf | anyone have experience with stereo cameras and opencv???? | 03:54 |
| SimonX | !umtsmon | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about umtsmon | 03:54 |
| _Cid_ | LinuxNub: if there is no nano, then use vi ... its different though, if you not used to ut ... you got internet on the box? | 03:55 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !anyone | nazraf | 03:55 |
| ubottu | nazraf: 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? | 03:55 |
| Nubun | we did get the drivers and complete an installation via a USB stick | 03:55 |
| ocRob | Nubun: i understand, i have that card though fwcutter rarely works | 03:55 |
| vocx | LinuxNub, vi is so powerful that most people don't realize they are being told to use it, vi vi vi | 03:55 |
| Nubun | what are the reasons? | 03:55 |
| ocRob | Nubun: its a firmware issue i believe | 03:55 |
| SimonX | not working? !umtsmon | 03:55 |
| * _Cid_ lubz vi | 03:55 | |
| LinuxNub | _cid_ yes... But i need also the dir of the xorg config folder? Since im far too much of a noob to actually find the location of it using command lines >.< | 03:55 |
| nazraf | i need to capture images from stereo camera on opencv | 03:55 |
| nazraf | how can i do that | 03:56 |
| SimonX | Paddy_EIRE: help me to search umtsmon for intrepid | 03:56 |
| nazraf | the normal capture function does not work? | 03:56 |
| bobbob1016 | I am downloading a bunch of files with downthemall for firefox. Is there a way I can set ubuntu to automatically put in a specific username and pass each time firefox prompts for it? | 03:56 |
| _Cid_ | LinuxNub I gave it to you ;-) try 'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 03:56 |
| exodus_ms | LinuxNub: read dude, he gave the app to open the config file and the path as well | 03:56 |
| LinuxNub | Oh, thanks cid. sorry this laptop is absolutely pants | 03:56 |
| LinuxNub | ^^ | 03:56 |
| bobbob1016 | I did remember, but some servers are different, so save password doesn't always work. | 03:56 |
| _Cid_ | LinuxNub: nano is easy to use if you are not used to vi ...if you are online, you can do 'apt-get install nano' | 03:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !find umtsmon intrepid | 03:57 |
| nazraf | how can i capture images from a stereo camera using opencv a videre stereo camera | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Package/file umtsmon does not exist in intrepid | 03:57 |
| nazraf | ubottu thanks for the advice :) | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:57 |
| _Cid_ | LinuxNub: if you mess things up in vi- you can exit without saving do ":q!" (without the ") | 03:57 |
| SimonX | ouuugh... | 03:57 |
| LinuxNub | Sorted, now to edit this the proper way aha ^^ | 03:57 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: i dont get it in am in my /etc/apache2/sites-available directory now what is it that i need to do>>>> ssrry for the nubeness | 03:57 |
| vocx | _Cid_, no worries, nano is installed by default, it couldn't be otherwise since Ubuntu users are not typically experts to even know how to get out of vim | 03:58 |
| DavidSchles | kernel panic help anyone? | 03:58 |
| nazraf | what irc channel besides opencv channel is best for help on computer vision??????????? | 03:58 |
| _Cid_ | vocx: oh ..didnt know ..... nano is not bad :) | 03:58 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: you need to create a configuration file for it, similar to the 'default' entry but you will need to make some configuration changes | 03:58 |
| SimonX | vocx, what about pico? | 03:58 |
| ocRob | vi > * | 03:58 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: names www.boscoslife.com | 03:58 |
| Tekno | vi(m) is assrape | 03:58 |
| LinuxNub | What is the other standard nvidia driver that comes with ubuntu? (pref abriviated).. nv and... ? | 03:59 |
| SimonX | pico = nano | 03:59 |
| vocx | SimonX, pico doesn't exist anymore. | 03:59 |
| SimonX | yeah..thats right. | 03:59 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: srry i mean named www.boscoslife.com | 03:59 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: or just boscoslife, but i would go boscoslife.com | 03:59 |
| cm_ | hi. i'm following these instructions to move my "home" location and all has gone well, except that when i try to log-in i get the follow error message: "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default sessin and language from being saved. File should be owne dby user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users."... | 03:59 |

| DavidSchles | anyone here able to help me with a kernel panic after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 | 04:00 |
| MyName | i made a mistake of elephantine proportions | 04:00 |
| vocx | cm_, why did you move home ? | 04:00 |
| cm_ | i wanted it on another hard drive | 04:00 |
| SimonX | DavidSchles: ask vocx... | 04:00 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Do you know what text editor I can use on bterm? Can't use xterm. | 04:00 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, what's a bterm? | 04:01 |
| === rob is now known as Guest44629 | ||
| SimonX | bterm? | 04:01 |
| cm_ | vocx: i just wanted it on another hard drive | 04:01 |
| webpigeon | fstab x.x | 04:01 |
| Barridus | what is this paste bin thing for? | 04:01 |
| webpigeon | Barridus, putting code/console output into | 04:02 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, your question is vague. I know that I haven0t had any kernel panic after upgrading. | 04:02 |
| Barridus | oh, ok | 04:02 |
| msl | cm_, How did you move it? | 04:02 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: well the problem is...i don't know what causes the panic | 04:02 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Something for ubuntu-rescue-boot. Small in size. | 04:02 |
| SimonX | hahahaha | 04:02 |
| jinja-sheep | Terminal emulator, I think. | 04:02 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: my laptop will randomly just freeze and the capslock blinks | 04:02 |
| Barridus | webpigeon, still learning the ropes of linux and this chan. thank you. | 04:03 |
| cm_ | msl: i followed these directions http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 04:03 |
| webpigeon | Barbosa, thats okay | 04:03 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, it's always the graphics card. Change it to "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf then reboot | 04:03 |
| \Kira | how can I restart the ssh dameon? | 04:03 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: k i will try that | 04:03 |
| barbarella | \Kira:/etc/init.d/ssh restart | 04:04 |
| webpigeon | \Kira, sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart (you might not need the d, i can't remember off hand) | 04:04 |
| \Kira | barbarella: thanks | 04:04 |
| \Kira | webpigeon: thanks | 04:04 |
| webpigeon | :P | 04:04 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, once your system is up you may be able to search for the new driver of your nvidia/ati graphics card, etc. | 04:04 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: ok ,i do have an nvidia card | 04:04 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: would it matter that i am sometimes running an external monitor | 04:05 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: what should i change to vesa? | 04:05 |
| SimonX | DavidSchles: nVidia running well in my intrepid.... | 04:05 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, totally matters, since for some reason I don't know, something these things work on the external monitor but not the LCD, etc. | 04:05 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: http://pastebin.com/m55be2c7 that is the error message i got when making a file in that directory there and cp default to www.boscoslife.com and changed the correct directories | 04:06 |
| SimonX | my compiz looks so wonderful... | 04:06 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: still what should i change to vesa...i don't change my xorg for the external | 04:06 |
| LinuxNub | could my "Failed to start X server" error be caused by refresh rates? I cant remember if that's what it was before >.< | 04:06 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: and it panics without the monitor sometimes | 04:06 |
| cm_ | more love please! | 04:07 |
| ZmAY | have some problems with connecting to wifi, need some help pls | 04:07 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, there is a section called "Device", it should have an option called "Driver" next to it, put "vesa" You should also check the kernel logs and the X server logs. | 04:07 |
| === werdan7 is now known as to | ||
| heightgao | 有人呢马 | 04:07 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: the sectoin device shows up a few times | 04:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZmAY: well define, "some problems" | 04:08 |
| === to is now known as werdan7 | ||

| ricardo | hola | 04:08 |
| barbarella | boscoslife: you mean a2ensite? | 04:08 |
| ricardo | quien es | 04:08 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: should i replae "nvidia" with "vesa" for each section | 04:08 |
| tonsofpcs | hrm... is there a way I can kill a connected port without killing the daemon on it or the client connected to it? (from a console) | 04:08 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: yeah a2ensite not mod | 04:09 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, ha ha, well, that's weird. Erase one, and leave just one. But now I remember, there should be a file named xorg.conf.failsafe, look at it. Rename it to xorg.conf, and save your current one. | 04:09 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: ok | 04:09 |
| ZmAY | IndyGunFreak: trying to make Atheros AR242x wireless card to work but we get "ath_pci: HAL doesn't support MAC revision 0xe2" in dmesg | 04:10 |
| wolter | is giver not in the repos in hardy? | 04:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZmAY: right. | 04:10 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: i have a xorg.conf.backup | 04:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | does the PC have a non-wireless internet connection,. | 04:10 |
| ZmAY | yes | 04:10 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: also contains a bunch of "Device" | 04:10 |
| boscoslife | barbarella: i did a2ensite i have a configuration file made for www.boscoslife.com and i also have enabled the userdir module could i be doing wrong that when i type www.boscoslife.com it still links to /var/www and not /home/bosco/public_html/ | 04:10 |
| LightTitan | !java factoid | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about java factoid | 04:11 |
| webpigeon | boscoslife, did you restart apache? | 04:11 |
| LinuxNub | Holy shit! my ubuntu CD's are outdated... | 04:11 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, just remember that I don't have direct experience with nVidia setups, I've read a lot of stuff but actually experimented little in this area. From nvidia I've read that they don't use "xinerama" anymore but "xrandr", so many xorg.conf may break down because of it. | 04:11 |
| LinuxNub | 5.10 Breezy aha. | 04:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZmAY: 32bit? | 04:11 |
| ZmAY | yep | 04:11 |
| vocx | LinuxNub, !!! | 04:11 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: do you still have a symlink ~/public_html pointing to /var/www ? | 04:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZmAY: do this... system/admin/hardware drivers, and disable "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards"... | 04:11 |
| LinuxNub | Will need to download the new one as soon as ive got this one installed :s | 04:11 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: ok cool...i am going to run this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 04:11 |
| ZmAY | already did that | 04:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZmAY: did you install the backports? | 04:12 |
| Nubun | ocrob | 04:12 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Blah. I'm in menu. I finally edit the menu.lst over the ssh. | 04:12 |
| ocRob | Nubun: yes | 04:12 |
| LinuxNub | i just done a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg.. how weirds that :S | 04:12 |
| vocx | DavidSchles, in ubuntu 8.10 that should generate a basic xorg.conf and auto detect your stuff, do run it. | 04:12 |
| Nubun | the drivers you got off that site, was it plug and play | 04:12 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: There are bunch of kernels + initrd + quiet + etc. + title +.... but what about uid? That's... purely random. How can I find out what to correspond to? | 04:12 |
| Nubun | did it require a lot of work to get them going | 04:12 |
| vocx | !uuid | jinja-sheep | 04:13 |
| ubottu | jinja-sheep: 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) | 04:13 |
| ocRob | Nubun: somewhat but that thread tells you exactly what to do | 04:13 |
| jinja-sheep | !shell | 04:13 |
| 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 | 04:13 |
| ocRob | Nubun: if you follow it to a T it will work no problem, take about 15 minutes | 04:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZmAY: did you install the backports? | 04:13 |
| ZmAY | IndyGunFreak: nop | 04:13 |
| LinuxNub | Hm, could anyone help me with this "Failed to start the X server" error.. "Fatal server error: No screens found" | 04:13 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: k rebooting | 04:14 |

| Matt | How do you format a drive on Ubuntu? I dont see the option | 04:14 |
| ocRob | Nubun: you need to follow the instructions exactly, that forum is just a how-to for getting the b4306 cards working | 04:14 |

| SimonX | EdgeX-: Screen Recording for record your screen | 04:15 |
| ocRob | Nubun: trust me, there are a ton of how-tos out there for that card that DONT WORK | 04:15 |
| ocRob | Nubun: see if you can do what barbarella said and find it in google's cache | 04:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Spiko: hang on. | 04:15 |

| Nubun | so i need to search for something... | 04:16 |

| EdgeX- | Hello; Could anybody recommend a screen-recording program for Ubuntu? | 04:19 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, sure! | 04:19 |
| jinja-sheep | !prayer | 04:19 |
| ubottu | Dear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette and common sense. Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language or leisurely op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so. | 04:19 |
| LinuxNub | so no-ones willing to give fixing a 5.10 error a shot? >.< | 04:20 |
| jinja-sheep | And for the reboot part too. :< | 04:20 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: keep playing w/ it you'll figure it out, what is wrong exactly? | 04:20 |
| Drace | can i create a livecd with a cd+r? | 04:20 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: yeah try restarted, apache2ctl restart | 04:20 |
| ocRob | Drace: yes or you can use unetbootin to put ubuntu on a usb drive | 04:20 |
| EdgeX- | Hello; Could anybody recommend a good free screen-recording program for Ubuntu 8.10- I can't seem to find one | 04:21 |
| msl | EdgeX-, gtk-recordMyDesktop | 04:21 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, totally awesome factoid. When did they put it? | 04:21 |
| Matt | Good program to convert avi etc. to dvd? | 04:21 |
| webpigeon | LinuxNub, it's not under offical support anymore | 04:21 |
| SimonX | EdgeX-: I've told you, try using Take ScreeShot! | 04:21 |
| LakesProse_ | anyone tried Time Vault, feel it's reliable ? | 04:21 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: i knwo have a very simple xorg.conf...hopefully that did it | 04:21 |
| EdgeX- | SimonX, But that takes still images- i need video | 04:21 |
| LinuxNub | Might not be under official support, but it's really not that hard an error to fix, im guessing if you knew your stuff it'd be common knowledge.. It's just been so long since ive fiddled with linux, i with linux im really clueless | 04:22 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: No idea. It was there. :) | 04:22 |
| SimonX | Application-->Accessories-->Take SCreenShot | 04:22 |
| DavidSchles | vocx: i connect to my external by using nvidia x server settings but just doing apply, without changin xorg | 04:22 |
| SimonX | it could be video too | 04:22 |
| vocx | LinuxNub, really you should have mentioned that you were using 5.10 before | 04:22 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: did that when i type in www.boscoslife.com it still is loading the index.html file that is in /var/www and i want it to laod the one in /home/bosco/public_html but when i type *myip-bosco it laods fine | 04:22 |
| EdgeX- | SimonX, it isn't | 04:22 |
| felixsulla | Does anyone know why Ubuntu would be able to get to a website when you put in an IP address, but not when you put in the name? (Guest virtualbox, host is Vista) | 04:22 |
| LinuxNub | whys that vocx? | 04:22 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: disable the usermod module, a2dismod usermod | 04:23 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: restart apache, and try again | 04:23 |
| barbarella | felixsulla:maybe you have a dns problem | 04:23 |
| msl | LinuxNub, Have you tried using the vesa driver? | 04:23 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: I don't know how I can shut down without damaging anything. shutdown -h 0, halt didn't work. | 04:23 |
| LinuxNub | I havn't.. but i shall | 04:24 |
| andrewfree | how come ftp wont start http://paste2.org/p/129042 | 04:24 |
| n2diy | jinja-sheep: try shutdown -h now | 04:24 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: actually your going to have to do more than that, you need to search google | 04:24 |
| felixsulla | barbarella, do I need to confige dns somehow? | 04:24 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: ERROR: Module usermod does not exist! | 04:24 |
| vocx | LinuxNub, because it's outdated, people wouldn't know what to recommend. What! You haven't tried vesa? It's the most essential piece of knowledge. | 04:24 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, poweroff maybe | 04:25 |
| jinja-sheep | n2diy: Nothing. I'm running bterm. It said.. shutdown: Unable to send message: Connection refused. | 04:25 |
| webpigeon | andrewfree, try ftpd? | 04:25 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:yes the client is installed | 04:25 |
| LinuxNub | as i said vocx.. I was a beginner 12 months ago.. Anything i learned then is gone now aha | 04:25 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: Oh snap, how do I install the server | 04:25 |
| barbarella | felixsulla:yes in /etc/resolv.conf | 04:25 |
| n2diy | jinja-sheep: is this on a remote box? | 04:25 |
| vocx | LinuxNub, 12 months ago 5.10 was already out dated by 2 years! How's that? | 04:26 |
| LinuxNub | Had the CD's a while | 04:26 |
| LinuxNub | sec ill check delivery date on the box :P | 04:26 |
| webpigeon | andrewfree, the ftpd package is the ftp server | 04:26 |
| jinja-sheep | n2diy: No. Rescuing a broken system. | 04:26 |
| andrewfree | oh | 04:26 |
| LinuxNub | 4/1/06 :s | 04:26 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: go to google and search for apache2 aliases and look at the cached pages of the forum | 04:26 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:it depends what you want. ftpd,pure-ftpd, etc | 04:26 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest65852 | ||
| andrewfree | ftpd will work | 04:26 |
| LinuxNub | using VESA driver failed.. | 04:27 |
| andrewfree | I use ssh but I need ftp for something where the keys on ssh are not working | 04:27 |
| n2diy | jinja-sheep: try shutdown -h 1, and let it cook for a minute? | 04:27 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, I'm not sure how it actually boots and goes down, but I'd say it's safe. Maybe "logout" or change the init level to 0 or something. | 04:27 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: I give up. It's back to Windows era. (re-installation). | 04:27 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, installation is pretty fast so I don't see a downside. But I'm curious, how did you get a broken system? | 04:28 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: Still does not work root@freekbox:~# sudo /etc/init.d/ftpd start | 04:28 |
| andrewfree | sudo: /etc/init.d/ftpd: command not found | 04:28 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:you can use scp for that | 04:28 |
| jinja-sheep | n2diy: Do you know how to restore / build a boot partition? | 04:28 |
| andrewfree | 0.o | 04:28 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Was having issues with VirtualBox (closed-source) USB support. | 04:28 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:oand in windows winscp | 04:28 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: I dont use windows | 04:29 |
| andrewfree | and scp needs host keys still. | 04:29 |
| chris1 | Locked out of GUI by apt-get corruption, tried to post to forum and couldn't hold cookies in lynx. | 04:29 |
| andrewfree | so wont work for this | 04:29 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:sudo apt-get install ftpd | 04:29 |
| vocx | andrewfree, if you are using a root shell you don't need sudo, but why are you the root user anyway? That's bad. | 04:29 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Tried instructions from the websites + #vbox and reboot. OMG. BoOT is lost. :| | 04:29 |
| n2diy | jinja-sheep: not really, I could get through it with a install disk, but would have my fingers crossed I was backed up. | 04:29 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: ok did that now what am i sopposed to find | 04:29 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: did that already | 04:29 |
| chris1 | Locked out of GUI by apt-get corruption, tried to post to forum and couldn't hold cookies in lynx. | 04:29 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, ha ha ha, seriously? Only because USB support? | 04:30 |
| andrewfree | vocx: its a personal server I dont worry about it. | 04:30 |
| LinuxNub | Will attempt to download 8.10 on this laptop, but i've got an funny feeling it'll cut out shortly after starting | 04:30 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Yeah... Tragedy.. | 04:30 |
| chris1 | Locked out of GUI by apt-get corruption, tried to post to forum and couldn't hold cookies in lynx. | 04:30 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: I tried this... boot from hard disk. It worked! <_< | 04:31 |
| jinja-sheep | But then I would have to leave disc in... all times. :( | 04:31 |
| chris1 | Does anybody have a clue how I can get Gnome back? | 04:31 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, I haven't installed VBox in my new machine, but I recall you only needed to change one config file so your username could access USB devices with Vbox | 04:31 |
| n2diy | jinja-sheep: can you kill bterm, and get to a bash prompt? | 04:31 |
| jinja-sheep | Booting up.... Cleaning up.... Stage checking... Etc. | 04:31 |
| chris1 | Does anybody have a clue how I can get Gnome back? | 04:31 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: ok did that now what am i sopposed to find | 04:31 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:why don't you use scp, if you only want to copy some files? | 04:31 |
| Nubun | ocRob | 04:31 |
| jinja-sheep | n2diy: bterm is no longer an issue. I'm booting up from first hard drive right now | 04:31 |
| chris1 | Locked out of GUI by apt-get corruption, tried to post to forum and couldn't hold cookies in lynx. | 04:32 |
| mwas | is there any other open source software to browse code like snavigator | 04:32 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, I'm confused. It's booting up so that's a good thing or what? | 04:32 |
| chris1 | Does anybody have a clue how I can get Gnome back? | 04:32 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: again, it needs they keys. Long story but I basically just want to send them onto a file on my server that has full permissions with no questions or encryption. | 04:32 |
| n2diy | jinja-sheep: so you no longer want to reboet? | 04:32 |
| ocRob | boscoslife: might be a ghetto fix but you could just change the config in the default to your home dir heh | 04:32 |
| gralco | is there a grammar checker plug-in for openoffice writer? | 04:33 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: It's good thing. I used alternative disc. | 04:33 |
| chris1 | Locked out of GUI by apt-get corruption, tried to post to forum and couldn't hold cookies in lynx. | 04:33 |
| jinja-sheep | n2diy + vocx: See http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/thumb/b/ba/Screenshot-Ubuntu_install_prompt-alternative.png/320px-Screenshot-Ubuntu_install_prompt-alternative.png (The last one in the menu) is what I did. | 04:33 |
| boscoslife | ocRob: right but i have 3 sites with 3 different user accounts then what lol | 04:33 |
| vocx | chris1, maybe reinstall gnome core files, then "dpkg-reconfigure" etc | 04:33 |
| jinja-sheep | Earlier -- I tried to rescue a broken system. However that didn't work out well. | 04:33 |
| yoyit2 | my Totem media player, it wont let me use anything under the "go" tab | 04:33 |

| chris1 | Which package would that be? | 04:33 |
| yoyit2 | like menu | 04:33 |

| torc | is there an issue in Ubuntu with the Sun JDK 6 ? It keeps blocking/hanging on every application I'm launching with it | 04:34 |

| vocx | Mount your hard drive somewhere like /media/original_drive, then from the alternate CD select install grub, and select /media/original as root partition. From a terminal it would be like "sudo grub-install --root-dir=/media/original hd0" | 04:39 |

| vocx | jinja-sheep, Am I great or what? | 04:48 |
| Kathe | Odd-rationale ... PCM is already selected, if I deselect Master I lose PCM too, either way the volume control does not effect PCM | 04:48 |
| jason_ | and i have another problem | 04:48 |
| jason_ | with 8.10 | 04:48 |
| Drace | ocRob, I entered cd /mount and it gives me error | 04:48 |

| Drace | ocRob? | 04:49 |
| barbarella | powertool08:only in resolv.conf | 04:50 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, try it. And next time you should explain things a little better, since I had a hard time following you. Mention every cause and every consequence. | 04:50 |

| powertool08 | barbarella: I looked in /etc/resolv.conf there's nothing there but my localhost entry, is there another resolv.conf? | 04:50 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Sorry. I need to tie up sentences into a chunk more often. :) | 04:51 |

| powertool08 | barbarella: Is there any way to track down which file has the current entry and delete it? I don't need to have it statically mapped anymore and I'd like to remove the current wrong entry to avoid confusion | 04:55 |
| vocx | whacked, I did the same. I had 7.10, two days ago I installed 8.10, everything is nice except for my wireless card. I need to troubleshoot that instead of talking to you guys, hehe | 04:55 |

| ocRob | samrocksc: no worries, its easy | 04:59 |
| whacked | and see what happens | 04:59 |
| ocRob | samrocksc: i believe it cleans those up automatically.. | 04:59 |
| samrocksc | ocRob, so theres no file that i can check, what is the extension of those files normally? | 04:59 |
| Kathe | as far as upkeep, it cleans up the packages automatically, and will check periodically for updates | 04:59 |
| ReBoot77 | is there a C++ channel? | 04:59 |
| ocRob | samrocksc: .deb i believe | 04:59 |
| Kathe | simply apply the updates when they come available | 04:59 |
| samrocksc | i see | 05:00 |
| vocx | samrocksc, packages are downloaded in /var/apt/cache I believe, it's safe to remove them, there is also some "apt-get clean" or something | 05:00 |
| dualboot | hello all | 05:00 |
| barbarella | powertool08:when you added, you have to restart your network in ubuntu | 05:00 |
| josephhuang | samrocksc do sudo apt-get clean if low on disc space | 05:00 |
| samrocksc | josephhuang, i just don't like cloggy installation packages | 05:00 |
| ocRob | ah my bad :P | 05:00 |
| noodlesgc | ReBoot77 yes, /join ##c++ | 05:00 |
| dualboot | do any of you know if recent ubuntu 8.10 updates included new ATI graphics drivers? | 05:01 |
| bbelt16ag | sigh | 05:01 |
| whacked | what could cause "NETWORK CABLE UNPLUGGED" message in windows via wired connection and yet can still connect on Ubuntu on dual boot | 05:01 |
| vocx | samrocksc, and as far as "maintenance"... mmm... no such thing in Ubuntu, I believe. What needs to be maintained anyways in gentoo? | 05:01 |
| samrocksc | josephhuang, thank yeh | 05:01 |
| bbelt16ag | why isn't suspend and hibernation in the new kernel ? | 05:01 |
| bbelt16ag | its not enabled by default? | 05:01 |
| bbelt16ag | bah | 05:01 |
| powertool08 | barbarella: ok | 05:01 |
| SJrX | whacked, uh probably the wrong link speed and duplex being set, but try #WINDOWS | 05:01 |
| samrocksc | vocx, same thing as with debian stuff i guess updating repositories etc. | 05:01 |
| andrewfree | I am running pure-ftpd but I cant connect to it... my password is not working but its working for ssh | 05:01 |
| vocx | whacked, in the device manager, remove the driver and reboot again into windows, maybe it is picked up again. | 05:02 |
| samrocksc | when your updating kernel will it do it for you ? or is that still manual? | 05:02 |
| whacked | i have tried that as well no sucess | 05:02 |
| whacked | half duplex full duplex 10/100 | 05:02 |
| whacked | did that too with driver reinstall | 05:02 |
| vocx | samrocksc, totally automated. Since you have only one kernel per release, plus minor fixes of course. So each new release comes with all new updated packages. | 05:03 |
| Kathe | dualboot 64bit or or 32bit | 05:03 |
| whacked | netsh int commands | 05:03 |
| barbarella | andrewfree:are you using a username which is added to the box where proftpd is installed? | 05:03 |
| hanasaki | why would firefox not connect to a imaps server from my firewall (timeout) however telnet to the host on 993 works? | 05:03 |
| whacked | oh well | 05:03 |
| === eli_ is now known as dotblank | ||
| whacked | but i do like this ubuntu 8.10 | 05:03 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: ohh. | 05:03 |
| whacked | everything worknig fine | 05:04 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: Because firefox isn't a mail client | 05:04 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: oops.. thunderbird | 05:04 |
| samrocksc | vocx, cool | 05:04 |
| hanasaki | why would thunderbird not connect to a imaps server from my firewall (timeout) however telnet to the host on 993 works? | 05:04 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Do you know how I can compile the latest kernel? (I prefer having Ubuntu autocompile it for me). | 05:05 |
| rebel_kid | how can i kill by pid? | 05:05 |
| jason_ | why dont ubuntu 8.10 detect i845g/gl chipset | 05:05 |
| Kathe | dualboot: I could not find any updated drivers for the ATI cards that were compatible with the new x-server on 64bit. I went back to 8.04 for this reason. But that is not true for all ATI cards many work | 05:05 |
| whacked | don't understand when trying to un-install pulse audio you are required to remove the whole gnome desktop | 05:05 |
| andrewfree | barbarella: I did root@192.168.1.106 | 05:05 |
| jason_ | and dont say it does bc it dont | 05:05 |
| === pablo is now known as pablo- | ||
| jinja-sheep | vocx: And it worked without the disc. I guess it must worked. Again! Thank a lot! I'm sooo relived! :) | 05:05 |
| vocx | samrocksc, most outsiders complain that you get outdated packages. It's true, but, it's not that bad. Who needs bleeding edge anyways. | 05:05 |
| barbarella | rebel_kid:kill -9 pid_name | 05:05 |
| bbelt16ag | hey is there a how to with how to recompile your kernel the ubuntu way? | 05:06 |
| rebel_kid | barbarella, OMG ty, i got that stupid thing lol | 05:06 |
| jason_ | ubuntu 9 r they going to put the xserver back the way it was | 05:06 |
| dualboot | barbarella> do you know if recent 8.10 updates include the latest ATI graphics drivers? I read on AMDs website that the latest driver supports XOrg 7.4 & Ubuntu 8.10 | 05:06 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, the latest kernel can be compiled by following the Master Kernel thread in the forums | 05:06 |
| Leo__ | hello,anyone knows about that what player can be used in ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| vocx | !kernel | jinja-sheep | 05:06 |
| ubottu | jinja-sheep: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 05:06 |
| Kathe | Leo, player for what? | 05:06 |
| dualboot | Leo__: I use VLC and MPlayer | 05:06 |
| Leo__ | for movie | 05:06 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: Thanks. Because I think I'm using my computer's kernel. The touchpad don't even work at all. Lol. | 05:06 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: any good or even bad inptu for me? | 05:07 |
| nurey | i'm on latest update of intrepid and suddenly mysql stopped working... it won't start up and i only found this in daemon.log: [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address | 05:07 |
| Kathe | Install Mplayer for w32codecs | 05:07 |
| barbarella | rebel_kid:pid number i mean | 05:07 |
| Kathe | and just about anyone will work kaffiene, vlc, etc... | 05:07 |
| rebel_kid | barbarella, i got ya :) | 05:07 |
| nurey | but there's nothing on port 3306 | 05:07 |
| Leo__ | the totem does not work | 05:07 |
| ziroday` | nurey: have you made sure you killed all existing mysql programs? | 05:07 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, I accept credit card, but I prefer cash, and sacks of pennies especially. Thank you for using this service. | 05:07 |
| bbelt16ag | sigh we gonna have fun tomorrow fixng my bucket of bolts here hehe I just did a full upgrade ya... | 05:07 |
| nurey | ziroday`: no mysql processes are running and nothing on port 8080 according to netstat | 05:08 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: How about paypal? :) | 05:08 |
| Kathe | Leo, Totem will but only after w32codecs are install, the easy way to get those is to install mplayer | 05:08 |
| bluedragon | hello need help | 05:08 |
| ziroday` | nurey: hmm okay. you done ps aux | grep mysql? | 05:08 |
| nurey | ziroday`: yes | 05:08 |
| Kathe | bluedragon ask your question | 05:08 |
| bluedragon | i can't play wma files i think i have all the gs plugins | 05:08 |
| === josephhuang is now known as yahoolian | ||
| Leo__ | can mplayer works well by .rmvb ? | 05:09 |
| bluedragon | i have mplayer installed and i can't play the file neither | 05:09 |
| ziroday` | nurey: it sounds like an old mysql process didn't correctly quit and is still locking that port. A restart would probably fix it | 05:09 |
| nurey | ziroday`: i did reboot and it didn't help | 05:09 |
| miranda_psi | leo__: download the mplayer plugins and use those - works like a dream | 05:09 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, sure, maybe the kernel you installed has already touchpad support, but is disabled in some way. Probably you can install it a new, with a meta package such as "linux-image", maybe it will autoconfigure itself again. | 05:09 |
| ziroday` | nurey: and you sure nothing is running on the port that mysql wants? | 05:09 |
| miranda_psi | bluedragon: if you can't play it in mplayer then it is probably drm protected | 05:10 |
| barbarella | nurey:have you changed the my.cnf file? | 05:10 |
| nurey | ziroday`: yes netstat -an |grep 3306 | 05:10 |
| Kathe | bluedragon wma is proprietary | 05:10 |
| ziroday` | bluedragon: wma files work, unless they are protected with DRM | 05:10 |
| Leo__ | okay ,thanks | 05:10 |
| nurey | barbarella: no | 05:10 |
| bluedragon | but it doesn't give that error | 05:10 |
| jason_ | get DeVeDe and convert the movie to what ever will play | 05:11 |
| dualboot | I'm not asking anything complicated | 05:11 |
| miranda_psi | bluedragon: what error do you get? | 05:11 |
| nurey | barbarella: i just changed it to enable log but there's nothing special in the log | 05:11 |
| vocx | It would be possible to load the individual modules, maybe "sudo modprobe touchpad" or whatever the touchpad driver is called, "synaptics" maybe | 05:11 |
| dualboot | can someone here help? | 05:11 |
| ziroday` | nurey: well then I am out of ideas. sorry | 05:11 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: sudo aptitude install linux-image right now. What's your PayPal account? I'm glad to give you some money. I love it that my data isn't at loss at all. | 05:11 |
| Kathe | dualboot, lost track of your thread, what's the question | 05:11 |
| miranda_psi | !ask | dualboot | 05:11 |
| ubottu | dualboot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:11 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon do you have the w32codecs package from medibuntu? | 05:12 |
| dualboot | Kathe: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, have ATI HD3650 video card | 05:12 |
| bluedragon | it says audio/x-asf-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed | 05:12 |
| bluedragon | any ideas what that mean | 05:12 |
| bluedragon | what is that | 05:12 |
| dualboot | Kathe: I read that 8.10 isn't fully supported yet, so haven't upgraded. How would I find out if recent 8.10 updates include latest ATI drivers? | 05:12 |
| bluedragon | how do i know if i have it | 05:12 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, data can be retrieved easy, that's not a problem. By merely mounting the drive you can copy everything. You crazy I have no paypal account, just kidding. Donate to Ubuntu, gnome, or something. | 05:12 |
| jason_ | dualboot go get envy install the drivers with that | 05:12 |
| dualboot | Kathe: I know how to install the binary versions manually but prefer not to | 05:13 |
| gnutron | bluedragon: i play .wma files in realplayer in intrepid | 05:13 |
| miranda_psi | bluedragon: don't know the gstreamer messages well - what does mplayer tell you? | 05:13 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon type sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 05:13 |
| JimmyDee | for fluxbox you need sudo apt-get install fluxbox xserver-xorg xorg and xdm right? | 05:13 |
| dualboot | jason_> tried Envy in the past, seemed to create more problems than it solved | 05:13 |
| Kathe | dualboot, as far as I know the 36xx is still not supported directly | 05:14 |
| nurey | here's the output of mysqld_safe... again not very informative....http://pastebin.ca/1307080 | 05:14 |
| barbarella | nurey:try mysqld --verbose see what it is telling you | 05:14 |
| bluedragon | cannot find the the codec for audio format 0x163 | 05:14 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: "Data can be retrieved easy" -- This was on encrypted lvm. I have to supply my password at the boot. Good thing linux is very organized and throughout. | 05:14 |
| jason_ | well dualboot u have to install the drivers ur self i for get how though | 05:14 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, I forgot. You did mention it at the very beginning. Encrypted... yeah, never messed with that. | 05:14 |
| gnutron | bluedragon: do what noodlesgc suggests get w32codecs | 05:14 |
| bluedragon | how do i do that | 05:15 |
| dualboot | Kathe> is there a way to track that type of information? I need to know when the proper ATI drivers are packaged and sent as updates by Conanical | 05:15 |
| whacked | what could cause a network cable is unplugged message on windows xp ? and i am using the same hardware right now to chat here on my dual boot linux | 05:15 |
| bluedragon | i typed w32 in the add remove software thing it was a no go | 05:15 |
| nurey | barbarella: i updated the paste http://pastebin.ca/1307082 | 05:15 |
| jinja-sheep | vocx: It's not hassle at all. All you do is supply the password at beginning of the bootup and it's like using a normal Ubuntu again... only that it's encrypted this time. Sure, tiny loss in performance. | 05:15 |
| gnutron | bluedragon: apt-get install w32codecs | 05:15 |
| whacked | and this happened right after upgrading to unbutu .10 | 05:15 |
| whacked | no regrets | 05:15 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon ok go to medibuntu.org (could be .com) and follow instructions | 05:16 |
| Kathe | dualboot I am probably not the person to best ask, I only knew the answer to your question because I have a similiar series card myself | 05:16 |
| jason_ | whacked they messed up 10 | 05:16 |
| whacked | but still like to get my windows to work on the net | 05:16 |
| bluedragon | but how do i know if it is installed allready | 05:16 |
| jason_ | my opion | 05:16 |
| gvsa123 | anyone know what i applications i need to setup my network camera as a home sucurity device? | 05:16 |
| vocx | jinja-sheep, yeah, but I mean, I have no use for encryption. I don't need to encrypt my homework, or my silly pictures of my cat or so. | 05:16 |
| mineswap | anyone plz, i cant play avi, mpeg, flv, 3gp, mp4 even i've realplayer, vlc, totem | 05:16 |

| yahoolian | drace: no | 05:18 |
| Kathe | drace, generally no | 05:18 |
| Drace | i did some 'sudo mount -t auto...' | 05:18 |
| miranda_psi | mineswap: try running vlc videofile.ext from the commandline and see what gets printed in the commandline | 05:18 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon ok instead just open System->Administration->Synaptic and search for it (w32codecs) | 05:18 |
| wolter | where can i find a giver deb package? | 05:19 |
| barbarella | nurey:can you try an other port, just for testing purpesses | 05:19 |

| nurey | barbarella: ok | 05:19 |

| noodlesgc | lu6cifer yeah its down, I was in #ubuntuforums a few minutes ago | 05:21 |
| nurey | barbarella: i changed it to 33060 and i got this in daemon.log -- Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 33060 | 05:21 |
| bluedragon | noodlesgc it is not installed it said nonfree codecs | 05:22 |
| mineswap | miranda_psi: ok, sorry, now what im suppose to do? | 05:22 |
| bluedragon | it says it has to remove one and add 23 | 05:22 |
| Kathe | Tossing this question back out there, didn't get much of an answer last time... I need a good way to map the keyboard shortcuts for the volume controls to the PCM... If I select PCM in the sound settings the controls are being faught by something, that is if I press volume up the sound briefly goes up then it goes back down. If I keep it on Master they work fine, but do to a sound driver bug the Master does not effect the sound output. Can anyone provide | 05:22 |
| Kathe | assistance? | 05:22 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon ok install that package | 05:22 |
| bluedragon | ok | 05:22 |
| bluedragon | noodlesgc will that interfere with the gs codecs or add to it | 05:23 |
| gnutron | bluedragon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats you need to read up on this | 05:23 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon it will add to it | 05:23 |
| bluedragon | oh ok | 05:23 |
| miranda_psi | mineswap: run "vlc videofile" from the commandline and post the output that appears on the commandline to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 05:23 |
| vocx | Kathe, it seems like a problem. I also got no clue how to map all these multimedia buttons. | 05:23 |

| bluedragon | but with in new package i should be able to play wma files right noodlesgc | 05:29 |
| Vigo | I am on a limited/? usr account, how do I start firewall or stuff? | 05:30 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon yeah. older wma formats have been reverse engineered, but for newer ones, we have to use proprietary dll's which is in that package | 05:30 |
| nurey | barbarella: nice nick btw | 05:31 |
| bluedragon | Noodlesgc oh wait lol it works Thanks | 05:31 |
| bluedragon | Noodlesgc you rock thanks | 05:31 |
| noodlesgc | bluedragon awesome :D | 05:31 |
| Vigo | oh wait,,,sudo,,brb | 05:32 |
| Kathe | Last go at the question, I need a good way to map the keyboard shortcuts for the volume controls to the PCM...

| CarlFK1 | Drace: you can do it | 05:33 |
| wolter | how do i configure my samba to share files with windows users? | 05:33 |
| wolter | from zero. | 05:33 |
| Drace | Im doing an installation of Ubuntu, It asks for something about partioning that im not clear about | 05:34 |
| barbarella | nurey:yes, better as Jane Fonda | 05:34 |
| wolter | Drace, lets meet at ubuntu-classroom | 05:34 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: ther eis a pretty good example in the samba.conf, just need to edit af ew lines, did you have a look? | 05:34 |
| Drace | ok | 05:34 |
| Brack101 | so wait, fedora/redhat don't have apt-get? | 05:34 |
| wolter | _Cid_, no, where do i go? | 05:34 |
| CarlFK1 | why do I suck at pgrep? http://dpaste.com/108407/ | 05:34 |
| _Cid_ | Brack101: kinda ... you can install it, and somepeople maintain repo ..apt is a debian thingy mostly | 05:34 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: /etc/samba/smb.conf | 05:35 |
| Kathe | Brack101, you can isntall it, but they have another package system defaultly | 05:35 |
| Brack101 | I see | 05:35 |
| CarlFK1 | I want to pkill gnome-screensaver, but it isn't finding it (guessing it is the - ) | 05:35 |
| Brack101 | because I was considering running fedora on a couple work computers but I don't know how I could live without apt-get | 05:35 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: let me know if I am not making sense :-) | 05:35 |
| _Cid_ | Brack101: they got 'yam' no where near as nice ..but it works in a pinch | 05:36 |
| Brack101 | I see | 05:36 |
| _Cid_ | Brack101: and you can yum install apt-get ;-) | 05:36 |
| _Cid_ | Brack101: yum install apt* | 05:36 |
| Brack101 | hehe | 05:37 |
| noodlesgc | CarlFK1 try pgrep gnome-screensav | 05:37 |

| CarlFK1 | noodlesgc: you rock. why does that work? | 05:37 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: ok :) we will take it in steps, dont worry - its not that hard | 05:38 |
| myr | does anyone know how i can fix a sound issue? all of a sudden the sound quality is pretty bad, it's hard to explain. | 05:38 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: first, you should know what samba is ... lets see if the bots got an answer for us | 05:38 |
| _Cid_ | !samba | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 05:38 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: those links would probably get you started, but lets just go ahead and configure stuff right now - go ahead and open a shell ( a command line window if you like) | 05:39 |
| Kathe | exit | 05:39 |
| wolter | _Cid_, thanks! | 05:39 |
| noodlesgc | CarlFK1 I think there is a limit on process name lengths | 05:39 |
| _Cid_ | wolter: oh, I misread - I was making sense ..I thought I wasnt :P well - Wolter, let me know if you need more help - go ahead and check the conf file - there is a home dir share example in there ready to use, just uncomment and restart samba (/etc/init.d/samba restart) | 05:40 |
| CarlFK1 | noodlesgc: bitchen. thanks a bunch. I was going to start doing ps|grep|awk|mplayer hacks | 05:40 |

| _Cid_ | wfiuewfew: I am curious as to why though ;-) | 05:42 |
| noodlesgc | andrewfree, I have no idea what the problem you are having is, but that file looks like its probably in /root | 05:43 |
| andrewfree | its not, I used this command ftp -u oem@192.168.1.106/ /test.txt | 05:44 |
| andrewfree | but cant find out where it went | 05:44 |
| tboydston | is there a special folder to work out of for web development (php etc.) in Ubuntu? In Vista I had a xampp environment and was restricted in terms of where I could play around. | 05:44 |

| navetz | _2 okay | 06:26 |
| TwoD | DarkKnight, programs usually come with a manual page (manpage), just type "man the_command". | 06:26 |

| _Cid | Glennex: ah, that would not work - I am not sure what is going on with your cd-rom ... lets try to remove that from your apt rep's so you can get it from the internet, that works | 07:03 |
| pan | /home/pan/Desktop/swiftweasel/swiftweasel-bin doesn't unop | 07:03 |
| Flannel | Glennex: Does `sudo apt-cdrom add` give you an error? | 07:03 |
| tabris|away | unop: `sudo su` is equiv to `sudo -s`, but I haveyet to find an equiv for `sudo su -l` | 07:04 |
| Glennex | yes flannel | 07:04 |
| Glennex | thats correct | 07:04 |
| Flannel | tabris|away: sudo -i | 07:04 |
| Flannel | Glennex: No error? alright, once you've done sudo apt-cdrom add, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential | 07:04 |
| tabris|away | Flannel: thanks... taht will likely come in handy! | 07:04 |
| Glennex | _Cid problem is i dont have internet, that is why i will install build essential to install drivers for my wireless card | 07:04 |

| pan | what is the difference between "&&" and ";" | 07:04 |
| jimmio | Hello all, I just added Windows 7 Beta to my machine and can't seem to configure GRUB to boot it... root seems to be hd0,2... | 07:05 |
| _Cid | Glennex: ah ok - my bad, I thought you said you had internet :) | 07:05 |
| unop | tabris|away, it's not. and sudo -i to simulate a login | 07:05 |
| Glennex | flannel, i mean i got error "failed to mount cdrom" | 07:05 |
| Flannel | Glennex: Is the cdrom mounted already? If so, unmount it. | 07:05 |
| Glennex | tried that already | 07:05 |
| Glennex | the same prob | 07:05 |
| Flannel | pan: && is a boolean and. Which will short circuit (if you know what that is). Basically, command1 && command2 will only do command2 if command1 completes successfully (returns 0) | 07:06 |
| Glennex | i cannot add cdrom source also from the synaptic | 07:06 |
| davcast | buon giorno ! | 07:06 |
| Flannel | Glennex: alright, we can do it manually. Mount the CDrom, then browse it. You'll find build-essential (And the dependencies it needs) and you can just install them by double clicking | 07:06 |
| pan | i understand now | 07:06 |
| pan | makes sense | 07:07 |
| anr78 | how can I check which display driver I'm currently using? | 07:07 |
| puneeth | what does chmod the file mean? | 07:07 |
| Flannel | pan: whereas c1 ; c2 will do c2 regardless of c1. Similarly, c1 || c2 will only do c2 if c1 exits with non-zero (generally failure) | 07:07 |
| _Cid | puneeth: to change permissions on the file | 07:07 |
| AceBlade258 | sorry, rm didn't work | 07:07 |
| Glennex | tried that also and i thought thats the easiest way of installing it but i got error also | 07:07 |
| _Cid | puneeth: who can do what to it | 07:07 |
| AceBlade258 | jon@Bushido:~$ sudo rm /media | 07:07 |
| AceBlade258 | rm: cannot remove `/media': Is a directory | 07:07 |
| pan | thx flannel | 07:08 |
| Glennex | i forgot the error it says something like "g++" | 07:08 |
| unop | AceBlade258, why do you want to remove /media. you shouldn't have to. | 07:08 |
| anr78 | AceBlade258: rm -r (-r means recursive) | 07:08 |
| anr78 | AceBlade258: but, what unop said :) | 07:08 |

| _Cid | puneeth: you got a space in there, use auto complete or wrap it in quotes for it to work | 07:09 |
| Glennex | :( | 07:09 |
| AceBlade258 | and thanks | 07:09 |
| ohmygod | puneeth, use tab | 07:09 |
| unop | AceBlade258, /media is system directory .. be careful deleting it | 07:10 |
| puneeth | ohmygod; tab for what? | 07:10 |
| Glennex | help me guys :( | 07:10 |
| _Cid | puneeth: tab is auto complete | 07:10 |

| jimmio | Hello again... What can I do to find the root location for GRUB of a certain partition? | 07:21 |
| _Cid | PC_Nerd: adduser instead of useradd? :) | 07:21 |
| CuriosTiger | apt is driving me a bit nuts. a) is 'apt-cache search //' really the only way to get a list of installed packages from the command line? b) is apt-file the only way to list the files inside each package? c) does apt-file update actually work? it's been "running" with no indication of progress for about half an hour now | 07:21 |
| untappedpilot2 | how can i setup a printer that is connected to my router? | 07:22 |
| _2 | PC_Nerd if the username is daemon-ftp then you'll prolly need to quote it. | 07:22 |
| CuriosTiger | according to top, apt-file isn't working particularly hard either | 07:22 |
| _2 | _Cid for that case i disagree. but to each his own | 07:22 |
| AceBlade258 | *buntu will not boot if my sata drives are connected | 07:23 |

| _2 | CuriosTiger apt-cache is not at all a good way to list installed packages. man dpkg ( 1. -l 2. -L ) | 07:24 |
| sloopy | AceBlade258, is grub using the UUID for specifying the mounts? | 07:24 |
| CuriosTiger | _2: Yeah, you said that. Now, how about a list of files inside a given package? | 07:24 |
| ubuntu-u-s-r | i was messed with my partition | 07:24 |
| AceBlade258 | yes | 07:24 |
| PC_Nerd | sudo adduser --home /home/daemon/htdocs --group daemon daemon-ftp "adduser: Specify only one name in this mode" | 07:24 |

| Baz_ | jtaji: ever seen smartermail (for windows) - very slick web interface | 07:48 |
| Flannel | Baz_: roundcube is | 07:48 |
| earthling | tsai0:give a space between 3g and /dev | 07:48 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: now is that just a webmail product that goes ontop of mail servers? | 07:49 |
| Flannel | Baz_: It's a HTTP based mail client that connects to your IMAP server, yes. | 07:49 |
| sloopy | AceBlade258, yeah i had this same problem, when i installed a sata drive in my machine i am trying to rem what i did to fix it... | 07:49 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: perfect! | 07:49 |
| earthling | tsai0: also add sudo before the whole command | 07:49 |
| AceBlade258 | tsai0: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force | 07:50 |
| AceBlade258 | don't forget the spaces | 07:50 |
| earthling | AceBlade258: how could one do that!!!! | 07:50 |
| Baz_ | is LAMP an option for ubuntu server install | 07:50 |
| earthling | AceBlade258: with a command | 07:50 |
| jtaji | Baz_: it sure is | 07:51 |

| AceBlade258 | earthling: he did, and i have in the past | 07:52 |
| sd32 | !ask | 07:52 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 07:52 |
| tsai0 | earthling: i will have him do this. he can't connect to the internet on the problem pc so I'm having to do eveything in pastebin so he can see it. Thanks for your patience :) | 07:52 |

| madhu | how can avoid some one capturing my incomming and outgoing packets through wirehark ? | 07:55 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: in my dovecot searches i bumped into courier and cyrus - what are your thoughts | 07:55 |
| madhu | how can i avoid some one capturing my incomming and outgoing packets through wirehark ? | 07:55 |
| Flannel | Baz_: dovecot performs better on larger mailboxes | 07:55 |
| Flannel | Baz_: Also, you almost certainly want to use Maildir for storage | 07:55 |
| AceBlade258 | is anyone using a logitech g15 keyboard? | 07:55 |

| hischild | !repeat | madhu | 07:56 |

| madhu | okay | 07:56 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: will do, any other tips/tricks/gotchas to know about? This is going to be very low load but large install - basically I want to host all my family's email forever without ever having to download locally... | 07:57 |
| madhu | anybody knows about firestarter firewall,,,,how can i run it in background so that,,,,i keep on using network connection | 07:58 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: oops, didn't mean to say large install - it is going to be low load, few boxes, but very many msgs perhaps with big attachments in each boxz | 07:58 |
| Flannel | Baz_: You're grabbing from many sources, right? ISP pop accounts, etc? | 07:58 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I get the spell checker of OpenOffice installed? I have attemped to spell something seriously wrong, and it STILL dosen't get the bad spellings. | 07:59 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: not really, the boxes are going to reside their with our own domain name - but now that you mention it that could be a great feature - what were ut hinking | 07:59 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, hey man, long time no chat! | 08:00 |
| abli | Hi! I have an schroot sbuild setup as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto Any idea how can I keep the ephemeral schroot around so that I can enter it when there is a build failure? | 08:01 |
| Flannel | Baz_: getmail (or fetchmail) will do that (fetch from a whole lot of external mail things), then you route that stuff through procmail if you want to do any sorting, and then procmail stores it in Maildir format (~/Maildir); then dovecot serves that email via IMAP to your clients (thunderbird, mutt, roundcube, whatever). To send email, the clients send it to the ISPs servers, and then store a copy on the IMAP. | 08:01 |
| Flannel | Baz_: that's generally how that's done. | 08:01 |
| Makuseru | Hi, i seem to be having an audio problem. I cannot get any sort of audio, when ever i play something in Amarok all the meters and everything move like the song is suppose to be playing, yet i dont hear anything. Anyone know what would cause this? | 08:01 |
| hischild | !sound | Makuseru | 08:02 |
| ubottu | Makuseru: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 08:02 |
| Flannel | Baz_: I personally use getmail.... I found it easier to configure than fetchmail, but if you ask me for specific merits... that was a long time ago ;) | 08:02 |
| Flannel | Baz_: But, that's how you can have all of your email on your home server and available to all of your various computers. | 08:02 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I get the spell checker of OpenOffice installed? I have attemped to spell something seriously wrong, and it STILL dosen't get the bad spellings. | 08:03 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: you're turning me on... hahaha | 08:03 |
| _2 | how does that differ from exim ? | 08:03 |
| Flannel | _2: This allows you to not actually "be" your own mail server. Your IMAP server just fetches mail from all your various accounts (like a regular email client would) | 08:04 |
| AceBlade258 | *buntu will not boot if my sata drives are connected | 08:04 |

| camelel | i've installed x11vnc package through aptitude and configured the port and opened it in iptables/ufw and when i 'nmap localhost' i can see the port open, and also i've ran /usr/bin/Xvnc and if i try running it again it says "fatal server error, server is already active for display 0" but still, can't vnc to the box or to the x11 session | 08:06 |
| camelel | any ideas? | 08:06 |
| Flannel | Baz_: Well in this case the TX and RX are entirely separate, so sending could be done however. For most people that tends to be as close to "I'm just a regular person" as possible, vs having your own smarthost or relay | 08:06 |
| AceBlade258 | help :'( | 08:06 |
| Matillo | Hey, I just went in to enable the windows networking packages and I reboot and I come up with a misconfigured video card driver. I've been using the fglrx ati driver, but I can't figure out how to use aticonfig to set it back up, lshw's saying my video card is unclaimed. I'm new to linux and this is the third or fourth time I've had to reinstall video drivers this week, any tips? | 08:07 |
| Flannel | AceBlade258: Sounds like your BIOS is trying to boot to the SATA over the PATA. See if you can change the order in your BIOS | 08:07 |
| Baz_ | Flannel: what about saving mail in MySQL - is that done? | 08:08 |
| ytnyl | does anyone know how i can post a file in xml into my blog and it be readable? | 08:08 |
| AceBlade258 | lol, i should be more specific, grub starts to load | 08:08 |
| camelel | so you just want to replace linux to be first on grub list? | 08:09 |
| Flannel | Baz_: Not that I've heard of, but... I wouldn't have looked into it if I saw it mentioned. | 08:09 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, do you have a sec? | 08:10 |
| Flannel | jeeves_Moss: I'm not too familiar with OOo and spell checking, sorry. | 08:10 |
| AceBlade258 | actually *buntu starts to load then it goes to a command line that says somthing about a timeout i think, and at the end of the line it says errno=-5 | 08:10 |
| AceBlade258 | that line keeps repeating | 08:11 |
| jeeves_Moss | Flannel, no worries. how have you been? | 08:11 |

| jason_ | i hate 8.10 | 08:12 |
| jason_ | yes im on 8.04 its alot better | 08:13 |
| darren | jason: why? | 08:13 |
| camelel | and you got vnc working? | 08:13 |
| AceBlade258 | darren: Clonezilla | 08:13 |

| style | D-link 122-g can I use it on ubuntu? | 08:14 |
| _2 | but. i may try to configure exim4 just for the learning curve | 08:14 |
| style | Does interpid support a lot more wireless? | 08:14 |
| scientes | how do i figure out what program is messing with my resolv.conf | 08:15 |
| _2 | 8.4 is LTS and 8.10 is newest, both are current, yes | 08:15 |
| jason_ | yes | 08:16 |
| unop | scientes, it's usually dhclient or resolvconf .. most probably the former | 08:16 |
| scientes | i use neither | 08:16 |
| unop | scientes, but are they installed? | 08:16 |
| scientes | dhclient is | 08:16 |
| Baz_ | during the ubuntu server install, what mail server are u installing if you choose "Mail Server" under "Lamp Server"? | 08:17 |
| scientes | well i gues its used to connect to dsl | 08:17 |
| scientes | so i guess it is used | 08:17 |
| _2 | scientes one can chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf then the offending process will cry about not being able to change the file... that's one way to find it. | 08:17 |
| unop | scientes, and your interface gets an ip address automatically? | 08:17 |
| Tech-Mike | i8 peeps, installed vlc (which came with vlc-nox) but: vlc-nox = command not found | 08:17 |
| scientes | yes but i want to send my resolvs through the local caching server | 08:17 |
| scientes | as with everything wlse on the network | 08:17 |
| unop | scientes, you can override options for resolv.conf in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf then | 08:17 |
| jtaji | Baz_: I think just postfix, I never bother with the "Mail Server" task | 08:18 |
| _2 | Tech-Mike and ? what are you trying to do ? | 08:19 |
| debyl | join ubuntu.cz | 08:19 |
| Baz_ | jtaji: ah ok... is dovecot available in apt-get? | 08:19 |
| Tech-Mike | trying to run vlc-nox in terminal | 08:19 |
| _2 | Tech-Mike so run vlc | 08:19 |
| jtaji | Baz_: indeed | 08:19 |
| Tech-Mike | if i wanted the gui - i would - i want to use terminal ... nox | 08:20 |
| Baz_ | ok, now this may be a silly question, but is there anyway for me to use my gui to interact with a server that has no gui? Like remote X or something? | 08:20 |
| Tech-Mike | vlc-nox is installed but command not found - when i tested this is debian (not ubuntu) it was fine | 08:20 |
| _2 | Tech-Mike dpkg -L vlc-nox | grep bin/ | 08:21 |
| style | What KDE does interpid use? and what kde does 7.10 use? and 8.04? | 08:21 |
| Tech-Mike | _2 which does? | 08:22 |
| nike365 | AceBlade258: i get the following results with the mount -t ntfs-3g/dev/sda1/media/disk -o force :http://pastebin.com/d6469f372 what should i do next? | 08:22 |
| _2 | nothing man nothink | 08:22 |
| _2 | g | 08:22 |
| jtaji | Baz_: yeah but it's really pointless and wasteful for administering server... not to mention all the docs/tutorials will use the terminal | 08:22 |
| Tech-Mike | i already did: locate vlc-nox , and theres not a nox in bin | 08:22 |
| unop | nike365, best thing to do is boot up into windows *twice* and carry out a chkdsk there. | 08:22 |
| V0iD | could anyone tell me where the host file is located in hardy heron? | 08:23 |

| _2 | you can put mode lines in the xorg.conf file Gadu if you know them. | 08:25 |
| Gadu | windows installation uses 1600x1200@60 | 08:25 |
| unop | nike365, did you do that *twice* tho? | 08:25 |
| Gadu | want linux to use the same | 08:25 |
| Baz_ | jtaji: even more something like working with apache's conf i find much more pleasing with gedit (for example) than in the console | 08:25 |
| AceBlade258 | nike365 sorry, first sudo mkdir /media/disk | 08:26 |
| Gadu | _2: i put `Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"` | 08:26 |
| AceBlade258 | then rerun the command again | 08:26 |
| AceBlade258 | sorry i was afk | 08:26 |
| unop | Baz_, ssh -X you@server 'editor filename' | 08:27 |

| unop | !webmin | Baz_ | 08:35 |
| ubottu | Baz_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 08:35 |
| ziroday | !grub | nite_johnboy see the second link | 08:35 |
| ubottu | nite_johnboy see the second link: 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 | 08:35 |
| Katangawise | style, only for education.. I think, to study the terminal you have use it, but if I have GUI, terminal using is much less.. | 08:35 |
| ziroday | nite_johnboy: correction, first link | 08:35 |
| Baz_ | hehe, nice | 08:35 |
| Baz_ | !ebox | 08:35 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 08:35 |
| Katangawise | style, only for education.. I think, to study the terminal you have use it, but if I have GUI, terminal using is little things.. | 08:35 |

| AceBlade258 | nike365: why dosn't he dual boot? | 08:47 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: interesting, and are all the pulldown menus set to your headset in the sound prefs device tab? | 08:47 |
| polywaffle | that is correct Gadu | 08:47 |
| s1ma0 | install linux in your window$ | 08:47 |
| s1ma0 | and you gonna get dual boot | 08:47 |
| AceBlade258 | 2nd that | 08:48 |

| tsai0 | i know what you all mean. I have used Linux mostly since Suse 9.3 and Ubuntu 6.10. I have a Mac and Winxp and really hate using Winxp. Go Unix! | 08:50 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: in your sound mixer, does the device appear in File > Change Device? | 08:50 |
| polywaffle | Gadu, do you mean via alsamixer | 08:50 |
| AceBlade258 | never inside... ontop or beside | 08:51 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: yes | 08:51 |
| polywaffle | the device listed is pulseaudio in alsamixer | 08:51 |
| scientes | will ubuntu listen to ntp server listings from dhcp? | 08:51 |

| Gadu | polywaffle: it should show up as it's own device | 08:52 |
| polywaffle | the headset may be brought up with alsamixer -c Headset | 08:52 |
| gvsa123 | can anyone help me with setting up zoneminder on 8.10? | 08:53 |
| polywaffle | but it does not come up by default witht he command alsamixer Gadu | 08:53 |
| pw-toxic | hi | 08:53 |

| pw-toxic | if there is no power plugged in into my notebook, i can't set the display to maximal brightness.. vor me it seems, that there are two different programs, who adjust the brightness.. | 08:54 |
| style | !no | style | 08:54 |
| pw-toxic | any suggestions? | 08:54 |
| ubottu | style, please see my private message | 08:54 |
| polywaffle | Gadu , I have also tried adevchooser without avail yesterday | 08:54 |
| polywaffle | sorry Gadu, I mean padevchooser | 08:54 |
| _2 | bah i think i better do a chown -R 0 / package scripts keep owning things to wrong uid | 08:54 |
| nike365 | AceBlade258: yes i have given up hope on even thinking about booting into xp again. just want my files recovered and not damaged :( | 08:55 |
| AceBlade258 | nike365:this is hard to follow, talk to me one on one | 08:56 |
| AceBlade258 | and i have an idea | 08:56 |
| kj4 | hello everyone! | 08:56 |
| _2 | pw-toxic only a comment, i can't adjust my backlight at all. 100% ati chips | 08:56 |
| Firefishe | Do the ubuntu forums get updated about this time? | 08:56 |
| pw-toxic | pw-toxic be happy about this... i nearly cant see anything ... | 08:56 |
| Baz_ | i install ubuntu server and was wondering if i had to open any ports to be able to ssh into it? | 08:56 |
| polywaffle | Gadu , if it were an ealier version that did not use pulseaudio, I would be fine, but intrepid uses pulseaudio by default | 08:56 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: this would be easier if i could recreate your problem lol, unfortunately using USB Audio for all of my playback devices works fine Dx | 08:57 |
| pw-toxic | _2: i have intel onboard graphics | 08:57 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: ah, i prefer hardy as odd as that sounds | 08:57 |
| nike365 | AceBlade258: sure how do i do that? | 08:57 |
| polywaffle | Gadu, I would also but the fact that I use wireless broadband | 08:57 |
| pw-toxic | anyone an idea how i can adjust my display brightness in ubuntu? | 08:57 |
| Baz_ | pw-toxic: are u using nvidia drivers by any chance? | 08:58 |
| s1ma0 | register linuxxx s1mao@hotmail.com | 08:58 |
| polywaffle | I take it that hardy does not use the pulseaudio daemon Gadu? | 08:58 |
| AceBlade258 | nike365: do you see the tabs on the top? | 08:58 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: ALSA | 08:58 |
| pw-toxic | baz_ yes, but not on this computer ;) here i have intel onboard graphic card with ubuntu default drivers | 08:58 |
| nike365 | AceBlade258: yes | 08:58 |
| polywaffle | Gadu, I found alsa easier | 08:58 |
| AceBlade258 | nike365: click on the one with my name on it | 08:59 |
| camelel | i've installed x11vnc package through aptitude and configured the port and opened it in iptables/ufw and when i 'nmap localhost' i can see the port open, and also i've ran /usr/bin/Xvnc and if i try running it again it says "fatal server error, server is already active for display 0" but still, can't vnc to the box or to the x11 session, any ideas? im using ubuntu 8.10 | 08:59 |
| Baz_ | pw-toxic: heh, then i'm not sure :( | 08:59 |
| pw-toxic | baz_ if i plug in my power device, the display gets slowly brighter until it is at full brightnes | 08:59 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: much =x | 08:59 |
| camelel | i'm sorry for asking 5 times, but no one seems to answer :( | 08:59 |
| pw-toxic | baz_ could this be anything with compiz? | 08:59 |
| rodolfo | hi there! | 08:59 |
| polywaffle | Gadu , it seems the solution then lies in improving my knowledge of the workings of pulseaudio | 08:59 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: your should probably submit a bug report on it not using the USB Device when select | 09:00 |
| Baz_ | pw-toxic: don't think so, i know the compiz config quite well and I know I haven't seen anything on brightness | 09:00 |
| rodolfo | I have a .patch file and I'd like to apply it to my ubuntu 8.10. how do I do that? | 09:00 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: worse case scenario, you find out it's not a bug and learn something from it =P | 09:00 |
| polywaffle | this is true Gadu , but first I should find out why it does not work behind the GUI and then I can report a possible fix | 09:00 |
| flashkidd | how can I burn cds in k3b? | 09:00 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: good plan | 09:00 |
| rodolfo | !patch | 09:01 |
| ubottu | Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 09:01 |
| polywaffle | Gadu , thank you for your assistance today. | 09:01 |
| aleix | anyone here with an hp-mininote 2133? I can't get any video on xorg... blinking cursor... anyone? | 09:01 |
| Gadu | polywaffle: anytime mate, hope you find a solution =D | 09:02 |
| camelel | gadu | 09:02 |
| polywaffle | thanks Gadu | 09:02 |
| camelel | maybe you can help me? | 09:02 |
| Gadu | camelel: yes? | 09:02 |
| camelel | i've installed x11vnc package through aptitude and configured the port and opened it in iptables/ufw and when i 'nmap localhost' i can see the port open, and also i've ran /usr/bin/Xvnc and if i try running it again it says "fatal server error, server is already active for display 0" but still, can't vnc to the box or to the x11 session, any ideas? im using ubuntu 8.10 | 09:02 |
| flashkidd | I can burn cds in wodim but k3b graphical interface doesnt work | 09:02 |
| sloopy | AceBlade258, still around? | 09:03 |
| Gadu | camelel: vnc server comes with ubuntu 8.10 by default, you don't need to install another package for it | 09:03 |
| camelel | you know the default path? | 09:03 |
| Gadu | camelel: System > Preferences > Remote Desktop | 09:03 |
| camelel | isn't it a rdp client for win32 box? | 09:04 |
| camelel | ah if it's there then it's not | 09:04 |
| camelel | you know a way to run it through console? | 09:04 |
| camelel | cause i'm not at home right now but i'm connected through ssh at the moment | 09:04 |
| AceBlade258 | yup | 09:04 |
| Gadu | camelel: vino-preferences | 09:04 |
| AceBlade258 | sloopy: yup | 09:05 |
| Ham1979 | Hi How do I start VNCServer on a remote machine that isn't logged in yet | 09:05 |
| camelel | thanks alot mate | 09:05 |
| Gadu | camelel: np | 09:05 |
| Ham1979 | i have tried vncserver from terminal which I thought is how I used to do it but no luck | 09:05 |
| puneeth | i am not running any software which needs alot of RAM, but my system is eating 404mb of RAM right now!! | 09:05 |
| sloopy | AceBlade258, IIRC what i had to do to fix it was install sata drives, and then boot from livecd, partition sata drives, then rerun grub with the original /boot partition specified | 09:05 |
| puneeth | what's wrong with ubuntu? | 09:05 |
| Gadu | Ham1979: if you'd like to connect remotely to a pc that isn't logged in, i'd recommend using a remote login instead | 09:06 |
| Ham1979 | Gadu - I am on a windows macine | 09:06 |
| Ham1979 | machine | 09:06 |
| Gadu | Ham1979: alright, have the PC you'd like to connect to use automatic login | 09:06 |
| _2 | puneeth you must not have much ram. if you had more it would eat more. | 09:06 |
| camelel | gadu, can i msg you on private? | 09:07 |
| Gadu | camelel: you may | 09:07 |
| Gokee2 | Hello all, I want to get win98 installed on vmware (I have read online vmware is good with 98) but have never used vmware. Does anyone happen to know a good guide? Thanks | 09:07 |
| tsai0 | nothing is wrong with ubuntu. it is has all the power of the linux kernel underneath. just not stripped down like hard-core linux distros. Some linux-gurus would consider it unstable | 09:07 |
| Ham1979 | ok, can you point me in the direction to set that? | 09:07 |
| puneeth | IST)_2; i have 756mb of RAM... n its taking 416mb of RAM right now!! | 09:07 |
| puneeth | so much of RAM for nothing!! | 09:08 |
| puneeth | WHY??? | 09:08 |
| kj4 | puneeth, you need to buy more RAM now | 09:08 |
| AceBlade258 | go linux | 09:08 |
| sloopy | puneeth, see what top has to say | 09:08 |
| archman | hello. everytime i boot into ubuntu after a few minutes disk starts to work even if i'm not running or trying to run anything. So i ran htop today and seen that /usr/bin/updatedb is running when the 'disk started to work'. Is it necesarry or can be turned off? | 09:08 |
| tsai0 | puneeth: or use something like Puppy Linux | 09:08 |
| tsai0 | puneeth: or Damn Small Linux | 09:08 |
| _2 | puneeth serious, if you had 3g it would use 2g | 09:08 |
| kj4 | Mem: 2074588 used: 2000008 free: 74580 | 09:09 |
| _2 | linux' idea of ram is "if you have it, lets use it" | 09:09 |
| puneeth | fedora is more efficient that way... | 09:09 |
| * Slart has 4Gb, 3,2 Gb used | 09:09 | |
| kj4 | thats my machine. See, you need more RAM! | 09:09 |
| sloopy | archman, can be turned off but it is better to let it run | 09:09 |
| archman | sloopy: why? what's it for? | 09:09 |
| kj4 | archman is not going to like ubuntu if he is an arch linux user | 09:10 |
| puneeth | even Arch is cool that way! | 09:10 |
| archman | kj4: :D | 09:10 |
| Gokee2 | archman, It can be turned off (not sure how) what its doing is indexing your hard drive for quick seaching. Try "locate somefileyouaremissing) in a terminal. | 09:10 |
| archman | kj4: im likin it for a year now ;) | 09:10 |
| sloopy | archman, its a database of file names installed on your machine | 09:10 |
| kj4 | i've used arch too, i keep coming back to ubuntu (actually usually xubuntu) | 09:11 |
| Gadu | Ham1979: System > Administration > Login Window > Security | 09:11 |
| _2 | kj4 i have a p1 with kubuntu on it 64m ram and it only uses about 56m ram to run kde | 09:11 |
| archman | Gokee2: i run xp on vmware workstation everyday, should be no difference with 98, why do you need a guide?? | 09:13 |
| Blaenk | how can I make it so that bob and john have write access to somedir/, and not just bob, how it currently is | 09:13 |
| archman | Gokee2: i have a guide, if you want it, for 6 | 09:14 |
| Gokee2 | archman, Because I have no idea how to get vmware working... I installed "vmware-package" and can`t seem to figure out how to use it... Looks like it builds other vmware packages? | 09:14 |
| DasEi | Blaenk: put them in the same group | 09:14 |
| ^_SMALLVILLE_^ | bongkar | 09:14 |
| Blaenk | can you please help me with that DasEi ? I would appreciate it | 09:14 |
| archman | Gokee2: i'll upload the guide for you...just a sec | 09:15 |
| Gokee2 | archman, Thanks :) | 09:15 |
| mikevankuik | does anyone know where you can find what files logrotate rotates? | 09:15 |
| norgay | hi i am facing probs in printing | 09:16 |
| mikevankuik | norgay: whats the issue? | 09:16 |
| DasEi | Blaenk: create a group with sudo grpadd , add bob and john there (useradd) , give the group write access | 09:16 |
| norgay | i m on a windows network and I need to print from a shared printer | 09:16 |
| Blaenk | thank you DasEi | 09:16 |
| === kj4 is now known as notfruity | ||
| norgay | I tried to locate the shared printer but it does not show up in the network | 09:17 |
| Matillo | Can somebody help me how to re-configure my monitor? It stopped being detected all of a sudden. | 09:17 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 09:17 |
| mikevankuik | norgay: is it conected directly to the network? or is it atached to a computer? | 09:17 |
| norgay | my work network is manual ip set | 09:17 |
| norgay | attached to a computer | 09:17 |
| DasEi | Matillo: which version ubuntu ? | 09:17 |
| Matillo | 8.04 | 09:17 |
| norgay | 8.10 | 09:17 |
| DasEi | Matillo: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk | 09:18 |
| mikevankuik | norgay: can you see the computers? | 09:18 |
| DasEi | Matillo: sudo displayconfig-gtk | 09:18 |
| norgay | no | 09:18 |
| _2 | Blaenk groups is the key i like to use the 'users' group for things like that. set the perm to something like 075 on the basedir and own it by nobody:users | 09:18 |
| mikevankuik | norgay: do you have samba installed? | 09:19 |
| DasEi | Matillo: backup xorg.conf before, search your monitor afterwards | 09:19 |
| norgay | yes | 09:19 |
| Matillo | well, i've already tried running the xfix stuff, it detected on installation just fine, but now it's not fixing. | 09:19 |
| Blaenk | nobody:users? what would that mean | 09:19 |
| === dhoss-laptop_ is now known as dhoss | ||
| mikevankuik | norgay: they have the printer shared do they?... otherwise its useless to look on your *nix machine... | 09:20 |
| archman | Gokee2: http://rapidshare.com/files/182717623/vmware-workstation6_manual.pdf | 09:20 |
| _2 | Blaenk man chown man chmod man groups | 09:20 |
| archman | i hope it'll help | 09:20 |
| norgay | yeah the printer is shared | 09:20 |
| abz | hello everybody? | 09:20 |
| r3dux | hey abz | 09:20 |
| simplexio | Blaenk: nobody user from users group own file | 09:20 |
| DasEi | Blaenk: chmod is another way, google for it | 09:21 |
| Matillo | So, what is this displayconfig-gtk? The screen resolution gui? That doesn't detect my display. | 09:21 |
| abz | r3dux: ;) | 09:21 |
| tsai0 | AceBlade258: are you signed into MSN? nike365 is looking for you. I'm his brother | 09:21 |
| _2 | i'm went. gooday to one and all. | 09:21 |
| DasEi | !who | Matillo | 09:21 |
| ubottu | Matillo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 09:21 |
| Blaenk | DasEi: well wasn't the point to chmod from the beginning? | 09:21 |
| norgay | i guess the problem is like this: i am the only ubuntu machine in my office which has 10 other computers on windows.....all the computers have manual ip....dhcp doesnot work so its set mannual | 09:21 |
| Matillo | Yeah, thanks for that. Unnecessary. | 09:21 |
| r3dux | Matillo, X doesn't rec your screen res? | 09:21 |
| Blaenk | or wait, nevermind | 09:21 |
| abz | i can't access ubuntu forum, can u? | 09:21 |
| Matillo | r3dux: No, it pops up in safemode whatever for resolution. | 09:22 |
| r3dux | It was down earlier, abz... maybe still | 09:22 |
| DasEi | Matillo:You can search a list of monitors in displ.... | 09:22 |
| Blaenk | okay if I have group 'grp1', how would I go about, nevermind | 09:22 |
| r3dux | Matillo, have you tried entering some res's in xorg.conf? | 09:22 |
| mikevankuik | norgay: doesn't have to be an issue you should still be able to connect to an other machine and use that printer if its shared. | 09:22 |
| edward__1 | hi everyone | 09:22 |
| abz | r3dux: owwh, thx . . | 09:22 |
| Matillo | r3dux: no, because I try not to touch that without knowing what I'm doing, that's what I came to ask about. Is that my last resort? | 09:22 |
| franklin | ha ha ha ...!cn | 09:22 |
| norgay | lemme try again and let u know .....will be back in few minuts | 09:23 |
| micro0 | hey guys im new to ubuntu, and i just installed compiz fusion but i dont know how to get the 3d cube working, can someone help me? | 09:23 |
| Blaenk | hey if i do something like chown grp1 someDir/, does that mean that anything within someDir will be owned by grp1, or do I need the -R flag, oh and even then, when new things are created in that dir, would it still be grp1's? | 09:23 |
| DasEi | Matillo:also if you find it, the gtk writes the monitor section, including modlines, for you | 09:23 |
| r3dux | Matillo, or using the nvidia display interface? Or ati one? | 09:23 |
| abz | anybody have downloaded madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz ?? | 09:23 |

| abz | isn't it? | 09:24 |
| micro0 | someone help me | 09:24 |
| Matillo | r3dux: well I'm using the fglrx for ati, but I don't know how to configure monitors with that. | 09:24 |
| Blaenk | hey DasEi so is this fine. chown -R :mygrp1 myDir/ | 09:24 |
| abz | somebody give me a mirror for madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz :( | 09:24 |
| r3dux | There's a way from the install of the driver, I used to have a ATI x1400... | 09:24 |
| r3dux | Grab the driver and do "./ati-blah --help" | 09:25 |
| mikevankuik | norgay: can you ping the other machine? (where the one where the printer is conected to) | 09:25 |
| edward__1 | you can search it from google blaenk, why no? | 09:25 |
| pallu | micro0:what are you trying to do? | 09:25 |
| micro0 | im trying to get the 3d cube working threw compiz | 09:25 |
| Matillo | r3dux: the aticonfig help is like 10+ pages | 09:25 |
| pallu | one monitor> | 09:25 |
| pallu | ? | 09:25 |
| pallu | i got it working on 2 monitors its so cool | 09:26 |
| Gokee2 | archman, Hmm I was hoping for more of a debian/ubuntu way of doing things. Do you use a ubuntu package or do you download from the vmware site? | 09:26 |
| r3dux | Matillo, there are simple example near the top... or just read. Do you want me to look at the screen setup in my xorg.conf and give you the format? | 09:26 |
| micro0 | pallu: did u hear me | 09:26 |
| pallu | so what driver are you using | 09:26 |
| Matillo | r3dux: I was kind of hoping to figure out how to make it detect it and autoconfigure again | 09:26 |
| pallu | yes | 09:26 |
| quibbler | micro0: go to systen>preferences>compiz config manager | 09:26 |
| Blaenk | edward__1: I did, and couldn't figure it out, which is why I'm asking here | 09:26 |
| micro0 | ok now what | 09:27 |
| oira | hi i was wondering if someone could direct me to some sort of reference tool for the terminal. something like tomboy, and such programs. but again something for the terminal. (and i dont mean vi, its too loose, i have too many documents to keep track off) | 09:27 |
| Blaenk | chown seems to ask for owner:group, but what if I want the entire group, everyone in the group, to be the owner? chown :group ? | 09:27 |
| micro0 | pallu: now what | 09:27 |
| Matillo | r3dux: aticonfig --query-monitor returns "Connected monitors: none" | 09:27 |
| edward__1 | --connect | 09:27 |
| Slart | Blaenk: I don't think a group can own a file | 09:27 |
| edward__1 | CRAP | 09:27 |
| pallu | you need to know if the driver that x is loading is going to let you load the cube | 09:28 |
| r3dux | Matillo, actually that's not going to help now it's done diff... no explicit monitor res stuff in xorg.conf | 09:28 |
| edward__1 | --CRAP | 09:28 |
| Blaenk | Slart: directory even? | 09:28 |
| Slart | Blaenk: it has to be user and group... but you can set permissions for the group | 09:28 |
| r3dux | Matillo, that's odd... | 09:28 |
| pallu | do you have copiz-fusion installed? | 09:28 |
| Matillo | r3dux: it's a laptop display too. | 09:28 |
| micro0 | yes | 09:28 |
| micro0 | i do | 09:28 |
| micro0 | im in the manager right now | 09:28 |
| Slart | Blaenk: nope, not even for a idrectory | 09:29 |
| Blaenk | ah okay Slart, and for the latter part you mentioned, could you give me an example please? I would extremely appreciate it | 09:29 |
| micro0 | click on desktop then go to 3d cube, i know, but then i dunno what to do after | 09:29 |
| Blaenk | 'set permissions for the group' on a directory? | 09:29 |
| Slart | Blaenk: are you using command line? | 09:29 |
| Blaenk | yes sir | 09:29 |
| Blaenk | I already created the group and put my two users in it | 09:29 |
| Blaenk | now I want that group, call it grp1, to have write access to somedir/ | 09:29 |
| Slart | Blaenk: chmod g+rw filename will make everyone in the group have read and write permissions | 09:29 |
| Blaenk | so chmod grp1 g+rw somedir/ right | 09:30 |
| Blaenk | oh, chmod -R too | 09:30 |
| Terrasque | Blaenk: chgrp grp1 somedir; chmod g+w somedir/ | 09:30 |
| simplexio | Blaenk: chown user:group file changes owners | 09:30 |
| archman | Gokee2: khm downloaded | 09:30 |
| r3dux | Mati - what's the default res? | 09:30 |
| Slart | Blaenk: the 'g' means the change the permissions for the group, +r means to add read permissions, +w means to add write permissions.. +r+w is written as +rw | 09:30 |
| r3dux | I mean, the native res | 09:30 |
| Matillo | r3dux: like, 1280x800 normally? | 09:30 |
| r3dux | k | 09:30 |
| Blaenk | ah thank you Slart I really appreciate it, and I do put the group name in there right | 09:31 |
| Blaenk | chmod g+rw -R grp1 somedir/ | 09:31 |
| r3dux | Matillo, are you using the restricted drivers? | 09:31 |
| Blaenk | or do I do what Terrasque said | 09:31 |
| Slart | Blaenk: not if the file is alread owned by a user and a group | 09:31 |
| Blaenk | so I assume I do what Terrasque said | 09:31 |
| Matillo | r3dux: yeah, but i think my video card is still configured right, it's just the monitor I can't make work | 09:31 |
| Slart | Blaenk: what you write in the chmod command will be for the group that owns the file | 09:32 |
| Blaenk | ohhh I see what you mean now | 09:32 |
| boghog | anyone know how to force X to use 1024x768 resolution on my laptop with intel 815 graphics? in gnome it only lets me choose 800x600 or lower. it is driving me crazy, i tried adding Modes option to display subsection of screen but to no avail | 09:32 |
| r3dux | Matillo, I would change from restricted to not, or vice versa and see if that works - and then take it from there | 09:32 |
| Blaenk | but what if the group doesn't already own the file, do I do what Terrasque said then? | 09:32 |
| AceBlade258 | huh? | 09:32 |
| Blaenk | chgrp grp1 somedir; then what you said | 09:32 |
| Matillo | r3dux: Not restricted isn't supported. | 09:32 |
| Gokee2 | archman, Hmm I take it that its not easy to use the debian/ubuntu utils to install it then? Also whats the difference with VMware Workstation and VMware Server? | 09:32 |
| DasEi | Blaenk: chown -R ,grp1 /some/dir | 09:32 |
| edward__1 | exit | 09:32 |
| edward__1 | quit | 09:32 |
| boghog | and every hit on google points to the ubuntu forums with are down... | 09:32 |
| Blaenk | ah thank you, is the comma intentional? I assume not | 09:33 |
| * boghog starts pulling his hair out | 09:33 | |
| archman | Gokee2: i downloaded the version from the internet, installed from sources i put in serial, and that's it...no problem... | 09:33 |
| Matillo | r3dux: Maybe. I can't use the open source stuff, anyway. | 09:33 |
| archman | Gokee2: dunno really | 09:33 |
| Baz_ | if i use dovecot does that mean i dont need postfix? | 09:33 |
| Slart | Blaenk: you can change what group owns the file later and the permissions will transfer.. the file only knows that "my group can read/write me", not that "group gr1 can read/write me" | 09:33 |
| r3dux | Matillo, either that or grab the most recent ATI drivers from the site - either way - reinstall your graphic card drivers | 09:33 |
| Matillo | r3dux: Either way, it's a monitor issue. Display adapter's fine. | 09:33 |
| DasEi | Blaenk : should be a colon, see man chown | 09:33 |
| ziroday | Baz_: yes | 09:33 |
| nunu_ | Hi, can anyone tell me why I'm not able to use synaptic (sudo) ? my user is in the sudo group but synaptic refuses to install upgrades | 09:33 |
| Matillo | r3dux: this is a clean install. I've reinstalled twice in as many days. I got the ati drivers last night and still got them on my flash drive. | 09:33 |
| ziroday | Baz_: unless you have a postfix or similar server elsewhere that dovecot can connect to | 09:34 |
| archman | Gokee2: try to dl' it and install, there are instructions. you new to linux? | 09:34 |
| abz | anyone have ccsm crash like this : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 38, in <module> . . ? | 09:34 |
| DasEi | Matillo:did you try the gtk ? | 09:34 |
| DasEi | did* | 09:34 |
| Baz_ | does IMAP (or dovecot specifically) support address books and contacts or is that where an ldap solution comes in? | 09:34 |
| ziroday | Baz_: thats ldap :) | 09:34 |
| Matillo | DasEi: I dunno what to do with that. | 09:34 |
| abz | help me please, my ccsm crashed . .:( | 09:34 |
| Blaenk | right, which was what I was going to do in the beginning DasEi, so chown -R :grp1 somedir/ && chmod -R g+rw somedir/, right Slart ? | 09:34 |
| oira | hi i was wondering if someone could direct me to some sort of reference tool for the terminal. something like tomboy, and such programs. but again something for the terminal. (and i dont mean vi, its too loose, i have too many documents to keep track off) | 09:34 |
| ziroday | Baz_: and if you're looking for a webmail client roundcube is highly recommended | 09:34 |
| r3dux | Matillo, have your tried running glxinfo (or fglxinfo) | grep direct | 09:34 |
| Slart | Blaenk: that looks right | 09:35 |
| suzuki | pomoc;p | 09:35 |
| r3dux | Matillo, it should say yes, if not... driver issues | 09:35 |
| Terrasque | Blaenk: just try it out | 09:35 |
| Gokee2 | archman, No, I am just trying to figure out what options vmware has for me and if I can build a package for myself with the vmware-package ubuntu provides. I really like packages | 09:35 |
| Blaenk | Slart: one last question, if a user within the group creates a file in that dir, somedir/, it will still be the same permissions right? meaning the group will have ownership, since I did it recursively | 09:35 |
| DasEi | Blaenk : sudo chown -R :grp1 /somedir | 09:35 |
| r3dux | ("direct rendering", that is) | 09:35 |
| Slart | Blaenk: if you're going to be using special permissions with lots of weird users/groups there are stuff you can install to let you use acl's.. I think it's pretty much like in windows | 09:35 |
| Matillo | r3dux: OpenGL Renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect? | 09:36 |
| Baz_ | ziroday: who knew setting up email was so involved! So far I have Ubuntu/Dovecot/Roundcube/Spamassasin/ClamAV/SSL/MySQL (for RoundBox) and I still havent figured out what I'm going to do about sending mail! | 09:36 |
| Terrasque | Blaenk: you could have done some extensive experimenting on the time you've tried to get a full answer here :) | 09:36 |
| regulardrake | hey everyone | 09:36 |
| r3dux | Matilla... ahhhh.... that's not good. | 09:36 |
| Blaenk | Terrasque: I wouldn't know if I would be able to revert my mistakes | 09:36 |
| DasEi | Matillo:ypu can search your monitor there | 09:36 |
| r3dux | Matillo, drivers haven't taken | 09:36 |
| Terrasque | Blaenk: then use a test dir, not the real dir | 09:36 |
| Slart | Blaenk: hmm.. there is a setting for that too.. if new files in a folder inherites the parent folders permissions.. not sure how to set it though.. might be something called guid but I'm not sure | 09:36 |
| Baz_ | Matillo: when i look at your name i see 'mail to:' | 09:36 |
| Matillo | r3dux: Ok, well how can I change that? | 09:37 |
| Blaenk | yeah I believe so, but I know even less heh, thanks Slart I really appreciate your help | 09:37 |
| === notfruity is now known as kj4 | ||
| ziroday | Baz_: right, its harder then it looks :). I personally use dovecot+postfix+roundcube on a debian server. Remember to setup ssl with postfix+dovecot _as_ well as with the webserver nad roundcube | 09:37 |
| Slart | Blaenk: you're welcome | 09:37 |
| norgay | mike......i can ping the other machine with the printer | 09:37 |
| r3dux | Reinstall your gfx drivers, do some research... for some reason you're not getting h/w accel'd gfx - just software | 09:37 |
| Baz_ | ziroday: i thought u said with dovecote u dont need postfix | 09:38 |
| ziroday | Baz_: you don't need postfix if you are connecting dovecot to a postfix server somewhere else | 09:38 |
| Matillo | r3dux: Ok, well, would that explain my monitor suddenly being unconfigured? | 09:38 |
| r3dux | Matillo, there's STACKS of forums and wikis about this kinda stuff.. yeah - it would def explain it - you're using software gfx atm. | 09:39 |
| Baz_ | ziroday: I am a bit of a bobo - if i am making my own entire solution that means i need it then right? | 09:39 |
| Matillo | r3dux: I had to run through stacks of forums and wikis just to get the drivers installed | 09:39 |
| norgay | hi mike u there? | 09:39 |
| Matillo | r3dux: I have 3d hardware acceleration, I'm just trying to get a screen resolution I an use. | 09:39 |
| Baz_ | ziroday: i guess i just dont get why an MTA is separate | 09:40 |
| r3dux | Matillo, should be as simple as chmod +x ati-blah; ./ati-blah.. | 09:40 |
| DasE1 | Matillo : which monitor have you got ? | 09:40 |
| Matillo | r3dux: well the aticonfig program runs fine. i dunno what monitor i've got, my laptop display. | 09:40 |
| r3dux | He's got a 1280x800 lapop, DasE1 | 09:40 |
| r3dux | Matillo, what model is your laptop? | 09:41 |
| Matillo | DasE1: What I'm getting with detect is an 800x600 plug n' play monitor, and that's wrong. | 09:41 |
| Matillo | r3dux: Dell vostro 1000, earlier today it was running fine, then I updated and installed windows networking somethingorother. | 09:41 |

| jftsang | DasE1, what package do I do in order to install the KDE? | 09:45 |
| jftsang | Is it kubuntu-desktop? | 09:45 |

| ubottu | simplenewb, please see my private message | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:46 |
| Slart | jftsang: kubuntu-desktop will install everything that's installed if you had downloaded the KDE iso, afaik | 09:46 |
| Slart | good morning, ActionParsnip | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: thats right, and its 9:50am ;0 | 09:46 |
| DasEi | jftsang: yes or apt-cache search >paket*< | 09:46 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: bah.. borin irc client =) | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: it does the job | 09:46 |
| jftsang | Ok, but there won't be any clash if I have kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop? | 09:47 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: =) | 09:47 |
| Slart | jftsang: not that I've heard of.. | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jftsang: not at all, you can run as many DEs as you wish | 09:47 |
| jftsang | Right, thanks! | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jftsang: you will just have 2 x libs for each (bloat) | 09:47 |
| DasEi | jftsang: you can choose the session at login | 09:47 |
| Slart | jftsang: if it's in the repos it's usually safe to install.. that's kind of the point of having a repository | 09:48 |
| ziroday | Baz_: yeah, you need postfix | 09:48 |
| Mulder | i performed a hard shutdown on ubuntu after attempting soft reboot and failing. now sound wont work. system beep works, but nothing else seems to. i tried deleting .pulse and .pulse-cookie and created a new user but get no sound still. mpg123 gets no sound either :S anyone got any ideas | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jftsang: but if you need some kde app in ubuntu you'll need the libs | 09:48 |
| DasEi | Mulder: tried alsamixer ? | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jftsang: i personally use kde apps in fluxox as kwin annoys me greatly | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jftsang: but i love amarok and k3b | 09:48 |

| datakid | looking for a strong password for root. 8 chars is max? and can I use symbols? | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | datakid: didnt think it had a max limit really | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | datakid: you can use anything you can type on your keyboard | 09:50 |
| quibbler | datakid, no max and yes | 09:50 |
| datakid | ah,. ok - for some reason I thought that *nix had an 8 char limit, don't know why | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | datakid: i personally use button shapes rather than actual words so they are gobbldygook anyhoo | 09:50 |
| datakid | ok thanks all ActionParsnip, quibbler | 09:50 |
| Mulder | ah yes, for some reason the PCM was set to mute | 09:51 |
| Matillo | Alright, well, I ran the displayconfig-gtk and tested a generic monitor of that resolution! And it hung up and now i'm booting to busybox, even recovery console. | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | datakid: for a strong pass i'd use more than 8 at least | 09:52 |
| Matillo | DasE1: Any thoughts? | 09:52 |
| Mulder | thanks for the suggestions DasE1, ActionParsnip | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | datakid: at my work we have a policy where we have to have at least 12 length with mixed case, at least one number and a character in the pass as well | 09:52 |
| datakid | yeah, I'm going for unreadable, have no fear | 09:53 |
| DasEi | Matillo: busybox or x not staring ? | 09:53 |
| Matillo | DasE1 I can't log into the recovery console. | 09:53 |
| DasEi | Matillo: so you got a further problem then x-server | 09:54 |
| Matillo | DasE1 I sure do now. Any ideas on how to get back onto ubuntu or is it time for another clean install? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Matillo: if you cant boot to recovery console then your system is quite ill, i'd run an fsck in livecd as well as scan your memory for errors | 09:55 |
| DasEi | Matillo: that can be a disk error or sth with initramfs, which can be updated | 09:55 |
| Matillo | DasE1 Winxp runs fine, on this machine, btw. | 09:55 |
| Vinceman | pssst, how do you enable SSL protocol? | 09:55 |
| DasEi | Matillo: first I#d try tp run e2fsck -p on the unmounted drive from live, they try a update-initramfs from chroot ( also live) | 09:57 |
| Matillo | DasE1: I'm not gonna touch it. Reinstall time. | 09:57 |
| Matillo | Ok, first I'm actually gonna try booting from a livecd, but I have to set up the proper drivers or at least VESA from the start. How's that done again? | 09:58 |
| johnskulski | hey does anyone know how i can tar extract to a differnet path than what it was tarred with. say it extracts to ./foo/file1 I would like to extract it to ./bar/file1 | 09:58 |

| lain_wired_ | I'm running ubuntu on an asus eeepc 1000h and a few of the apps i run are too tall for the screen. the bottom of the window goes off the screen and i'm unable to shift it up or select any of the covered options without a fair amount of blind tabbing and guesswork | 09:59 |

| Matillo | How can I drop back to vesa drivers on the ubuntu live cd? | 10:03 |
| Vinceman | MY QUESTION HAS BEEN IGNORED!! | 10:03 |
| clearzen | darren: if you don't know any commands or networking then it will take you a minute. But a nightmare no. | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: you havent provided any info hardly | 10:04 |
| Vinceman | I'd like to know how to enable the SSL protocol | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: what app do you wish to use ssl? | 10:04 |
| clearzen | darren: I think there is a package called madwifi-tools if you don't want to use CLI | 10:04 |
| Vinceman | it is for gmail | 10:04 |
| aurora | Hey, could anyone explain what might be the problem when I connect to my server using tightvncserver from a remote machine, I just get a chequered screen and nothing else? It connects fine but I see nothing other than that...thanks! | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: its in the setting of your account, what client do you use? | 10:04 |
| Vinceman | ok, I use some netscape reminiscant | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: you should have said: Hi I use netscape reminiscant and would like to enable SSL for my gmail account | 10:05 |
| clearzen | aurora: there are several settings that could cause the improper return of a xsession to a client pc | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: enable SSL means nothing | 10:05 |
| Vinceman | is there how can it be disabled, it worked fine yesterday | 10:06 |

| Vinceman | do you know Seamonkey ActionParsnip? | 10:07 |
| aurora | clearzen: yes | 10:07 |
| clearzen | aurora: is the ubuntu box the host? | 10:07 |
| aurora | clearzen: All I've done is a fresh install, then sudo apt-get install tightvncserver | 10:07 |
| aurora | clearzen: yes, it's the host | 10:07 |
| CrypTom | Hi all, is there a problem with usermod or useradd when adding lots (~1000) users to one group? I've added hundreds of users to some groups (audio, etc.) without problems, but then suddenly useradd/usermod report that the specified group cannot be found (even if it is there). Changing the group with adduser user group works! | 10:07 |
| Vinceman | another tiny question, I can't delete the mails from my inbox anymore, it just strikes them through, more spam than ever reached my inbox, it's disgusting! | 10:08 |
| clearzen | aurora: how long have you let the connection sit? Is it just being slow? | 10:08 |
| aurora | clearzen: I've left it for about 2 minutes and it just stays on that chequered screen | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: i use opera and firefox and soon firepup if it runs well, just gonna test it later today | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinceman: spam is offtopic here, make sure you have full access to the folder your emails are saved to | 10:09 |
| clearzen | aurora: ok, is both machines on the same local network? | 10:09 |
| aurora | clearzen: yes, both local lan | 10:10 |
| clearzen | aurora: just covering bases, but the router is set to allow all communication over the lan right | 10:10 |
| manu__ | \join #mpg123 | 10:10 |

| georgij | whenever i run "sudo apt-get update" i get the following errors: http://pastebin.com/d194d6607 | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_: then ask a specific question rather than an abstracted one for exact answers rather than abstracted answers | 10:21 |
| iskren_sf | Hi everyone. I have some problems with wireless on asus-eee 901. After I shut the wireless down and then up - it shouldn't work. I checked via lsmod and it turned out that the module for the card (rt2860sta) is activated but no one uses it (third column == 0). Then "ifconfig ra0 up" gave "SIOCSFFLAGS: Operation not permited" | 10:21 |
| ne2k__ | georgij: that means that your computer is corrupted and needs to be sent to me for "repair" | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | iskren_sf: does: sudo iwlist scan work? | 10:22 |
| === darren is now known as Guest92465 | ||
| georgij | ne2k__: do i need to reinstall ubuntu? | 10:22 |
| kikokos | hi | 10:22 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, it says no networks, but obviously the computer doesn't detect somehow the card | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | georgij: you just need to get the signature files for that server | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | iskren_sf: its just a quick test | 10:23 |
| kikokos | i have now xfce 8.10 and i dont know how to change resolution...i tried reconfigure xserver-xorg but it doesnt work | 10:23 |

| Joe_ | Going to build a new system, in the end I want to have a RAID 10, but can't afford all discs. Can I add additional discs to a RAID 10 and what is the minimum number of discs | 10:24 |
| ne2k__ | Joe_: I have experience with RAID. this is a concrete answer to your concrete question | 10:24 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, also - ifconfig ra0 says that the driver is not up (that is why I tried UP - but it didn't work) | 10:24 |

| sfuentes | does anyone know of a simple standalone color picker app for linux? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | iskren_sf: then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:25 |
| Joe_ | ne2k__ Heh, nice | 10:25 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, yes! - the problem is that the module is up, but the software somehow didn't use it | 10:25 |
| ne2k__ | Joe_: so, what does that mean? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_: minimum disks for raid 10 is 4 | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | iskren_sf: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=44762 | 10:27 |
| Joe_ | actionparsnip right, but is it possible to say start with RAID 0, then later add 2 more discs and clone then add in the 1 | 10:27 |
| ne2k__ | Joe_: RAID 0 isn't RAID. | 10:27 |
| adir1982 | hello | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: why isnt it? | 10:28 |
| ne2k__ | Joe_: I don't see why you couldn't do that. but I also don't see the point | 10:28 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, yes - I tried that too! Hm ... I did all this yesterday and now .. it doesn't want to work at all (after restart, wifi on from beginning) | 10:28 |
| ganesh | how to install ubuntu directly from internet? | 10:28 |
| adir1982 | how i can upgrade from ubuntu 8.4 to 8.10 ? | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !minimal | ganesh | 10:28 |
| ubottu | ganesh: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 10:28 |
| === sean is now known as Guest63165 | ||
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: RAID is "Redundant" array... in so-called "RAID 0", you don't have any redundancy, you just stripe the data across two disks. if one dies, you lose everything. hence, not redundant. | 10:29 |
| iskren_sf | even ifconfig ra0 gives - device not found | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Joe_: as long as your controller supports both modes, yes | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: i see your thinking | 10:30 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, I was using networkManager at the begining but now switched to WICD (read in a forum). What do you suggest | 10:30 |
| send_linux | hello,all | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | iskren_sf: i always manually edit /etc/network/interfaces | 10:30 |
| ganesh | ActionParsnip:after downloading how to install? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: then why is it called raid, and why is it performed on a raid controller | 10:30 |
| Baz_ | i have a software RAID5 on my ubuntu install - how can I check that the drives are healthy and everything is good? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ganesh: boot to the burned cd like a normal install | 10:31 |
| burkmat | ssh over a rather unstable connection (bad wireless), any place I could change timeout values so that a gap of ~100ms doesn't completely sever my ssh connection? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ganesh: its a text based install and is very nice | 10:31 |
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: from Wikipedia: ". It is important to note that RAID 0 was not one of the original RAID levels and provides no data redundancy. RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a small number of large virtual disks out of a large number of small physical ones." | 10:31 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, yes! that is the best way, but I can't get it working either way :) | 10:31 |
| Vinceman | what's the latest version of SSL? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: fine, but why do raid controllers support it then if its not raid? I'm all curious now :) | 10:31 |
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: well, because it's useful for some applications, and involves the same sorts of operations as other raid levels, so is easy to implement with a raid controller | 10:32 |
| ganesh | ActionParsnip:i dont have cd that is the reason i want direct installation..my bandwidth is quite good | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ganesh: you need to be able to boot to some form of media to install, ask a buddy to download it for you and burn it, its 10Mb | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: makes sense | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: i like it, thanks | 10:33 |
| ne2k__ | ganesh: you could install Wubi and then convert it. but it's a bit of a faff | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | is wubi going to be dropped any time soon? its garbage | 10:34 |
| Win2Ubuntu | Hi all :-) | 10:34 |
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: it's not garbage at all, I thought it was fantastic | 10:34 |
| Win2Ubuntu | In the room's opinion which flavour of ubuntu is the best? im tempted to look at xubuntu but i wonder if it will have the same support as ubuntu? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | Win2Ubuntu | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Win2Ubuntu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:35 |
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: it got me using Ubuntu for general use, which I probably wouldn't have been bothered to do if it hadn't been available | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Win2Ubuntu: xubuntu is equally suppported as ubuntu and kubuntu | 10:35 |
| Win2Ubuntu | ah ok cool thanks Action Parsnip, so i wont be missing out | 10:35 |
| Win2Ubuntu | as in, anything i can get for one ill be able to get for the other? | 10:35 |
| iskren_sf | ActionParsnip, is there any way to see who was using the rt2860sta driver before the removal, so I can spot where is the problem | 10:35 |
| ganesh | ActionParsnip:since its saved on hard disk is there any way to read from hard disk and boot? | 10:36 |
| hischild | Win2Ubuntu, yes | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: i think its half a job, its installed but runs via windows and it can bootup etc. Its nasty imho, run it live or install it | 10:36 |
| Win2Ubuntu | thanks hischild | 10:36 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, it's an opinion. Some like it, some hate it. | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | iskren_sf: you could run lshw -C network i guess | 10:36 |
| Win2Ubuntu | now, ive also heard that Intrepid is not the best of releases | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: absolutely | 10:36 |
| Win2Ubuntu | and that i should go for Hardy | 10:36 |
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: it doesn't "run via windows", what does that mean? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ganesh: i think you can get grub to boot an iso, I'd store it on a seperate partition to the one you intend to install to | 10:37 |
| ne2k__ | right, time to go and do some real work. | 10:37 |
| ne2k__ | bye all | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: well its a windows app essentially | 10:37 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, yeh you can, but what you say is true as well. You need a seperate partition for it to operate from. | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k__: just screams issues but if folks wanna try ubuntu theres the live environment | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | and then folks wanna transfer their stuff to a proper install and its not masively graceful or simple | 10:39 |

| ubottu | mattycoze: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 11:25 |

| speedcore | I'm configuring a samba server, I try to setup user/group permissions. Is the Umask set on the users-account on the server. Or at the client machine? | 11:26 |
| mattycoze | ActionParsnip - is your only purpose on this channel to be a douche? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mattycoze: id suggest vnc over ssh, but you could install a terminal sevices server also | 11:27 |
| kiskool_ | canal fr ? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mattycoze: no im stating fact | 11:27 |
| aLeSD | Rudd-O: you mean that if I put there the configuration (as in the old Xorg) . I can force the automatic configuration ? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mattycoze: if you asked the room what the "best" irc client was, everyone would have a different answer as all needds and preferences are different | 11:28 |
| mattycoze | no you're trying to justify being pompous; good day to you sir. | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mattycoze: best doesnt exist unless you are expressing a products suitability to your requirements | 11:28 |

| ubottu | kiskool_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 11:29 |
| mattias | i installed package Splash Screen | 11:29 |
| Rudd-O | aLeSD: if you put configuration file, then no autoconfiguration. if you remove configuration file, xorg autoconfigures. if autoconfiguration fails, you may have to generate an xorg.conf with X --configure and then start from that | 11:29 |

| beastax | hi guys, im having some trouble with my graphics. Games would not start, so I went into Nvidia X Server Settings and was confronted by the following message: | 11:32 |
| beastax | You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 11:33 |
| ziroday | beastax: have you installed the nvidia drivers from System > Admin > Hardware Drivers? | 11:33 |
| beastax | so I run nvidia-xconfig as root, and get a validation error | 11:33 |
| mattias | and i kind of figured its not a good idea to remove ubuntu-desktop with it through the synaptic manager, since it sounds kind of important | 11:33 |
| beastax | ziroday, yeah, this isnt a new install | 11:33 |
| ziroday | beastax: what card do you have? | 11:34 |
| Alastair_ | nah it is'mt | 11:34 |
| Gustavo_G | I am running 08.10 and I need to compile something with gcc-4.2. Is doing: sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc the best way to do it? | 11:34 |
| beastax | geforce 8800 errr | 11:34 |
| Alastair_ | it's just a metapackage | 11:34 |
| beastax | GS i think | 11:34 |
| beastax | maybe GT | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mattias: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-October/096379.html | 11:34 |
| Alastair_ | if you remove it nothing will happen (at least not right away xD ) | 11:34 |
| beastax | should I roll back the driver maybe? | 11:34 |
| mattias | kthx | 11:34 |
| ziroday | beastax: okay, you can find out with the lspci | grep VGA command but thats enough, can you verify you have the nvidia-glx-177 package installed | 11:35 |
| beastax | ziroday, yes i do | 11:35 |
| Rudd-O | hey | 11:35 |
| ziroday | beastax: okay, did you recently upgrade or change drivers? | 11:35 |
| Rudd-O | can I recruit someone to help me make my app more hig compliant? | 11:35 |
| ziroday | Rudd-O: not here, try in #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:35 |
| beastax | ziroday, i think so yeah - for the first time ever i am using autoupdate, rather than doing it periodically through terminal | 11:36 |
| beastax | and this problem only started happening today | 11:36 |
| ziroday | beastax: hmm, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 11:36 |
| beastax | ziroday, yeah, automatically configured by nvidia-xconfig, but it throws up a validation error | 11:36 |
| beastax | VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 11:37 |
| beastax | Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver | 11:37 |
| beastax | line. | 11:37 |
| beastax | oops sorry retarded paste | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | Gustavo_G: if you are using make is best to do "CC=gcc-4.2 make" | 11:37 |
| ziroday | beastax: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please | 11:37 |
| beastax | ziroday, sure | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | beastax: you need to change the xorg.conf a little | 11:37 |
| Gustavo_G | erUSUL, would I put that line in the makefile? | 11:38 |
| beastax | ziroday, here you go | 11:38 |
| beastax | http://rafb.net/p/HZHKu541.html | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | Gustavo_G: no is a command line... put that on the bash promt | 11:38 |
| mattias | my pc is still working. I guess no harm done | 11:38 |
| mattias | hooray | 11:38 |
| Gustavo_G | Oh, does it set an environment variable then? | 11:38 |
| beastax | ziroday, i see no section "configured video device" - should it have one? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mattias: i'd reboot to fully test | 11:38 |
| mattias | good idea | 11:39 |
| ziroday | beastax: okay, well according to that you should be using the nvidia drivers. Can you pastebin your xorg logs | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | Gustavo_G: exactly. make will use what is in CC as the C compiler | 11:39 |
| mattias | when im not back in 5, tell my wife i love her | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | beastax: if you rename the line above Driver "nvidia" | 11:39 |
| Gustavo_G | erUSUL: Thank you! | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | Gustavo_G: no problem | 11:39 |
| beastax | ActionParsnip, section "Device" - identifier "nvidia"? | 11:40 |
| beastax | ziroday, which xorg logs from /var/log, there are seven of them | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | beastax: if you rename the line *above* Driver "nvidia" to read Identifier "Configured Video Device" and change line 55 in your pastebin to reflect this change (Device0 to Configured Video Device) you should be ok | 11:40 |
| Rudd-O | beastax: xorg.ZERO | 11:40 |
| ziroday | beastax: the latest, it is usually the one not ending in .gz | 11:40 |
| Rudd-O | ziroday: xorg logs are not logrotated | 11:41 |
| jason_ | that new xserver is hard isnt it | 11:41 |
| ziroday | Rudd-O: oh my bad | 11:41 |
| beastax | ziroday, http://rafb.net/p/T8KgSB69.html | 11:42 |
| mynameistux | I am trying to give my laptop (running ubuntu) a static IP. I have been following the instructions on this page. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html but I want to know how to get a static IP when connected through wifii. | 11:42 |
| beastax | its massive :S | 11:42 |
| Tekno | jungle is massive | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mattias: looks like you win | 11:42 |
| mattias | uninstalling ubuntu-desktop removed Pidgin, Transmission and something else, not quite sure what | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | brando is massive | 11:42 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, you dont get as static ip... you just SET an static ip | 11:43 |
| mattias | meh, i use emesene anyways | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mattias: you can install them again, the configs are in your ~/ so you should be ok | 11:43 |
| mynameistux | ok, I think that is what I am trying to do, is it. I want set it up, so once I have port forwarding on my router, it will stay working. | 11:43 |
| mattias | i seriously gotta get me that report a bug package | 11:43 |
| DefamedPrawn | http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/12/revealed-the-times-made-up-that-stuff-about-google-and-the-tea-kettles/ | 11:43 |
| mynameistux | so I can host game servers and torrent and such | 11:43 |
| ziroday | beastax: according to the log the nvidia driver is not installed correctly. Try reinstalling the package | 11:44 |
| jason_ | the best way to do it is install 8.04 and get every thing right and gonig then upgrade to 8.10 seems to work good that way | 11:44 |
| beastax | ActionParsnip, ziroday im gonna try changing this line, brb | 11:44 |
| plinio | Hi. My ubuntu problem is: where are feisty (7.04) powerpc ubuntu channels? Cannot connect any more to powerpc channel software? I know this ubuntu version was discontinued but until 2008, dec, I could get the software from this channel... | 11:44 |
| beastax | ziroday, i did, with apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-177 | 11:44 |
| beastax | ziroday, should i purge it instead? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | beastax: did you install the nvidia driver from repo? | 11:44 |
| beastax | ActionParsnip, yes | 11:44 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, if you dhcp suports it you can set an ip reserve so your nic mac will always receive the same ip from the dhcp | 11:44 |
| nikon365 | I am trying to save my data in WinXp before doing a full reinstall. I was lucky enough to get some help from a user in this room. Can anyone take a look at this: "http://pastebin.com/m4ef3f2b2" and tell me what I should do from here? | 11:44 |
| ziroday | beastax: I would do a remove and then an install. Making sure to restart xorg inbetween | 11:44 |
| beastax | ziroday, ok, im gonna try restarting with this new xorg.conf, if that fails i will try reinstall | 11:45 |
| mynameistux | ZeroA4: how would I go about doing that? | 11:45 |
| thrillERboy | hey guys | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | beastax: make sure you run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-177-kernel-source nvidia-settings | 11:45 |
| beastax | ziroday, should i remove the nvidia-kernel as well | 11:46 |
| ziroday | beastax: yep | 11:46 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, the IF an the HOW depends on your dhcp server... | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !wine > mattias | 11:46 |
| ubottu | mattias, please see my private message | 11:46 |

| ubottu | coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering hot water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mynameistux: virtual server or port forwarding | 11:48 |
| mattias | !java | 11:48 |
| 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 | 11:48 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, normally ip reserve or something like it... it changes from router to router i am afraid | 11:48 |

| Chiliblack | I want to define a particular interface by MAC address, is the check_mac_address.sh the way to do it? its very different to the way I used to do it in redhat.. | 11:52 |
| thrillERboy | how to open a second server tab in xchat? | 11:52 |
| ikonia | Chiliblack: don't change card mac addresses | 11:52 |
| mynameistux | what do you mean by that? | 11:53 |
| aeosynth | oCean_: in the gnome menu when you select 'shut down', you get a prompt asking if you want to shut down, restart, suspend, hibernate. how do i get that prompt from the command line? | 11:53 |
| mynameistux | the dhcp stuff? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevilthere: do you have a camera app install like digikam? | 11:53 |
| ikonia | aeosynth: you don't | 11:53 |
| ikonia | aeosynth: it's a desktop interface | 11:53 |
| oCean_ | daredevilthere: seems the device is detected, but not mounted automatically. Mine (not a Nikon) mounts auto and starts f-spot | 11:53 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: which Ubuntu version are you using? | 11:53 |
| Finnish_ | Is raw dv-format unpacked video? | 11:53 |
| Chiliblack | I am not although I have in the past (there are reasins to do that) I have multiple interfaces,,and I don't want to have the one connected to my router which is firewalled wo be swapped with one from the network which isn't | 11:53 |
| eXlin | Any1 know if there is some issues with repositories atm? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | Chiliblack: just define your firewall rules then | 11:54 |
| oCean_ | daredevilthere: you might look at dmesg output (the /dev/sd* device linked is probably there) | 11:54 |
| ikonia | eXlin: no, what is your problem ? | 11:54 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, yes. what is it? | 11:54 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: when i plug my D90 in, it asks me if i would like to import the pictures, or whatever, and i can also just browse the device | 11:54 |
| bahram | i'm get this error in upgrade ubuntu of libgs package -> http://paste.gnudownload.org/show/4 can help me? | 11:54 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: although, are you using the usb cable? | 11:54 |
| daredevilthere | bobslaede: yes i am using usb cable | 11:55 |
| eXlin | well, packeges.ubuntu... universe doesnt downloadn package list. and packeges from security.ubuntu... gives 404 on install but downloadns nicely packge list | 11:55 |
| oCean_ | aeosynth: I see. So you want that screen to pop-up, not just the "shutdown" command | 11:55 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: theres a setting in your camera, how it should act | 11:55 |
| ikonia | eXlin: check it in a browser, it may be having problems | 11:55 |
| mynameistux | let me paste bin it for you | 11:55 |
| sh1 | i want to get a new dhcp address, that is i want to restart my network interface | 11:55 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: as a storage device, or something else, i forget which it is, that setting, should do the trick! | 11:55 |
| sh1 | how do i do it? | 11:55 |
| aeosynth | is there any way to create a shutdown launcher? I'm recreating the gnome-menu since it's not entirely customizable | 11:55 |
| ikonia | sh1: sudo /etc/init.d/network restart | 11:55 |
| sh1 | thanks | 11:56 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: Mass Storage device | 11:56 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: that setting, somewhere in the camera, should be changed | 11:56 |
| mynameistux | http://pastebin.com/m4044fca | 11:56 |
| mynameistux | Is that of any help to you? | 11:56 |
| daredevilthere | bobslaede: but it works fine it windows | 11:57 |
| eXlin | ikonia: that error was sayed on my server. my own browser from different location is sayin 404 when i linked that address... | 11:57 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, no... | 11:57 |
| aeosynth | oCean_: if I could get the 'shutdown' command to work, that'd be fine too. i tried making a launcher with gksu shutdown -h now, but it didn't work | 11:57 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: yeah, i know, i've had that same problem with my brothers D40 | 11:57 |
| mynameistux | screen shot it is then | 11:57 |
| eXlin | on direct address to packege | 11:57 |
| minche | how to run applications with root privileges? | 11:57 |
| ikonia | eXlin: looks like it is down then | 11:57 |
| ZeroA4 | mynameistux, maybe your router dont have ip reserve | 11:57 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: i think its called PTP or something | 11:57 |
| ikonia | macvr: sudo | 11:57 |
| ikonia | minche: sudo | 11:57 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: the other option | 11:57 |
| eXlin | anywhere i can report about it? | 11:57 |
| ikonia | macvr: sory - that wan't fo ryou | 11:58 |
| minche | -.- | 11:58 |
| ikonia | eXlin: if there is a problem, alerting will have picked it up | 11:58 |
| minche | sudo what? | 11:58 |
| oCean_ | aeosynth: ok, well, "sudo /sbin/shutdown" should work (from commandline, but not sure if this works in launcher. I think it should) | 11:58 |
| mynameistux | yeah, I reached the same conclusion | 11:58 |
| ikonia | minche: sudo then the command | 11:58 |
| macvr | ikonia: no probs | 11:58 |
| ikonia | !sudo > minche | 11:58 |
| ubottu | minche, please see my private message | 11:58 |
| daredevilthere | bobslaede: whn i dmesg it says usb storage found than it next line says end_request i/o error | 11:58 |
| mynameistux | would it have one, if I were to put something like tomato, or ddwrt on it? | 11:58 |
| jason_ | sudo then the application name in treminal | 11:58 |
| bobslaede | daredevilthere: exactly, you need to change that setting, for it to work | 11:58 |
| macvr | ikonia: was kind of weird! just logged in and got msg sayin SUDO!!! | 11:58 |

| mynameistux | oh, and upload a sceenshot of dhcp settings to image shack for you | 12:00 |
| aeosynth | oCean_: doesn't work as a launcher (just tried it). I think because i'm not inputting my sudo password? | 12:00 |
| plinio | Hey! My ubuntu problem is: where are feisty (7.04) powerpc ubuntu channels? Cannot connect any more to powerpc channel software? I know this ubuntu version was discontinued but until 2008, dec, I could get the software from this channel... | 12:00 |

| aeosynth | so is there any way to create a shutdown launcher? | 12:05 |
| ikonia | plinio: the 7.04 repo still exists | 12:05 |
| daredevilthere | bobslaede: thanks buddy | 12:06 |

| xanxor | oh, duh. haha. thanks. | 12:07 |
| deany | xanxor: and enable the drive in the settings | 12:07 |

| aeosynth | ActionParsnip: is chmod +x the same as setting 'allow executing file as program' in nautilus? using that and sudo, i only see the password prompt if i run it in a terminal. is there a way to shutdown without having to enter a password? how does the panel applet do it? | 12:15 |
| anTiX | does anybody have experience with label writers? I need a fairly simple one for printing bar codes that works with ubuntu | 12:15 |

| plinio | ikonia: the address you gave me is for the iso image to install ubuntu. I've already have ubuntu powerpc installed (and working better than my mac os x on my g3 machine) What i need is the repository address to download mysql for ubuntu ppc, ok? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | aeosynth: you can add the shutdown command to the list off apps the dont require sudo but im not sure ow to do that personally, have a websearch around | 12:16 |
| ikonia | plinio: thats the old release server, ou need to find the repo | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | aeosynth: i think ikonia may have a clue or 2 | 12:16 |
| aeosynth | ActionParsnip: i meant, I set that property through the nautilus gui, is that the same as doing chmod +x? | 12:16 |
| plinio | ikonia: you mean google ubuntu repository? | 12:17 |
| ikonia | plinio: 10 seconds of looking and I found it http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 12:17 |
| ikonia | plinio: no - the repo is on the server URL I gave you, you just needed to LOOK | 12:17 |
| plinio | Trying... | 12:17 |

| ActionParsnip | jason_: you'd have to rtfm to see what yours can and cant do | 12:22 |
| MM2 | Nilesh: try at command line a command: xrandr --auto | 12:22 |
| ikonia | V0iD: contact ati for ati bugs | 12:22 |
| zakidine_ | what do i have to do ? | 12:22 |
| jrib | V0iD: checked bugs.ubuntu.com? | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | zakidine_: how did you install the driver? | 12:23 |
| V0iD | thanks guys! | 12:23 |
| zakidine_ | Action in shell window | 12:23 |
| zakidine_ | ctrl+F1.. | 12:23 |

| xanxor | I don't have a lot of space on my main hard drive but I have a huge external hard drive. Is it possible to use VirtualBox (or other software) to install the virtual OS on the external hard drive? | 12:23 |
| MM2 | Nilesh: is another display connected and on? | 12:24 |
| jrib | xanxor: virtualbox uses ~/.VirtualBox/ so just make that a symlink to your external | 12:24 |
| V0iD | xanxor: Yes | 12:24 |
| Nilesh | yes | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zakidine_: i'd suggest using the ones on the rerpo | 12:24 |
| deany | xanxor: in prefs | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !nvidia | zakidine_ | 12:24 |
| ubottu | zakidine_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:24 |
| xanxor | I'm sorry, I don't know what a symlink is. What is that? | 12:24 |
| Nilesh | MM2: i am using docstation which is connected to HP monitor | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zakidine_: you can also tab complete names so your name highlights when you address me just like yours is now | 12:24 |
| MM2 | Nilesh: It helped for me :) | 12:24 |
| deany | i set both the machine and hard disk locations to my external | 12:24 |

| xanxor | okay. sorry deany, I'm kind of slow today. how do you do that? | 12:25 |

| Nilesh | MM2: what helped you? | 12:25 |
| deany | File/Prefs | 12:25 |
| Nilesh | MM2: ok | 12:25 |
| MM2 | Nilesh: that xrandr --auto | 12:25 |

| zj3t3mju | "Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" | 12:29 |
| MM2 | ikonia: ltsp-server depends on dhcp-server, we don't want that, because we have other dpcp-server so apt thinks ltsp-server is broken, but it is not | 12:29 |
| adamw9678 | Yes but it is suppoted by ubuntu | 12:29 |
| zj3t3mju | what do i do? | 12:29 |
| ikonia | MM2: so you can either install dhcp-server to meet the dependency, then disable it, or you can re-build the package to not need it | 12:29 |
| MM2 | ikonia: so apt tries sometimes to remove ltsp-server because it is "broken" | 12:29 |
| ikonia | MM2: just install dhcp-server and disable it, you don't have to use it, just install it | 12:29 |
| jrib | adamw9678: no, try #gos here on freenode | 12:30 |

| ikonia | Nilesh: you have an intel card, so that would be a sensible place to start | 12:39 |

| Deckard_BR26354 | Anyone know how to diagnose problems with Gnome Sound themes and Pulseaudio? | 12:48 |
| Gustavo_G | It looks like I'm missing qt headers. Does "sudo apt-get install libqt3-headers libqt3-compat-headers" install it? It looks like it installs 44.6MB of additional stuff. Is this correct? | 12:48 |
| whitefang | V0iD: yes, "usplash-theme-ubuntu" is the selected Usplash theme. | 12:49 |
| mynameistux | I didn't think it was possible to get rid of all panels, clearly it is | 12:49 |

| bomber | comicinker: i did it and it showed me that i dont have extensions | 12:50 |
| V0iD | whitefang: In boot options misc. you have show boot splash checked? | 12:50 |
| mynameistux | whitefang: it could be a graphics card thing, I know my gpu handles boot and normal use differently | 12:50 |
| whitefang | V0iD: i do. | 12:51 |
| mynameistux | VOiD: if it were not checked, it should show text during boot, telling you what its doing, afaik | 12:51 |
| syntax\ | how do i install vmware - tools? | 12:51 |
| comicinker | bomber: "no wireless extension" at section "wlan0" | 12:51 |

| whitefang | should i change the resolution? right now its 640x480 | 12:52 |
| mynameistux | idk | 12:52 |
| lilendian | ok, now that I can log into the server, in order to restrict clients what do I do? from a quick search, it seems I have to place a 'telnet' file in /etc/xinetd.d/ - am I on the right track here? | 12:52 |
| MindSpark | generalsnus, yes, you need routed | 12:52 |
| V0iD | whitefang: that should matter but you could set it to 1024x768! | 12:52 |

| rodolfo | guys, where the 'scrollbar.patch' file goes to after the "wget -O scrollbars.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21136285/10_scrollbars.patch" is done? | 12:53 |
| mynameistux | what is your screen res, whitefang | 12:53 |
| MindSpark | comicinker, thanks | 12:53 |
| whitefang | actually, maybe when i installed it, it didn't do the post-configuration tasks that it just did after changing the resolution | 12:53 |
| generalsnus | MindSpark: how do i do this? | 12:53 |
| lilendian | Ah, did someone say resolution? So how about those nvidia drivers - sucks being on gtx 260s/280s innit? | 12:53 |
| whitefang | my desktop is 1680x1024 | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, you apply patch files to the Source code befor you compile normally/ | 12:53 |
| bomber | <comicinker> i dont have "wlan0" | 12:53 |
| comicinker | bomber: so wlan card is not yet recognised. what wlan card do you have? | 12:53 |
| Gadu | nvm, got a great tip on making it permanently hide | 12:53 |
| mynameistux | well theres your problem, maybe | 12:53 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis, yeah that's what I'm trying to do | 12:54 |
| whitefang | lol, maybe my screen doesn't support 640x480? | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, i recall some 'how to use patch files' tutorials somewhere.. i forget the exact commands. normally ya keep them in the dir with your source code so you can find them easier | 12:54 |
| mynameistux | what is the highest res you can set the bootsplash to | 12:54 |
| whitefang | 1600x1200 | 12:54 |
| MindSpark | generalsnus, you add a static route to your routing table | 12:55 |
| whitefang | im going to try 800x600 and reboot | 12:55 |
| whitefang | brb | 12:55 |

| bomber | comicinker: i have atheros card | 12:55 |
| mynameistux | whitefang | 12:55 |
| whitefang | yah? | 12:55 |
| mynameistux | set it to the highest | 12:55 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis, I just need to browse the surce tree to run the 'patch -p1 < <file.patch>' but I don't know where the source folder is located | 12:55 |
| jrib | rodolfo: read what ubottu is about to send you and 'man patch' (very readable) | 12:55 |
| jrib | !source > rodolfo | 12:56 |
| ubottu | rodolfo, please see my private message | 12:56 |
| whitefang | mynameistux: highest color depth too? | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, its where you downloaded it to and unarchived it to.. normally | 12:56 |
| Ienorand | Hia, how do you update to the new user-switcher-replace-quit if you've mistakenly clicked away the notification? | 12:56 |
| generalsnus | MindSpark: and that will make one of the network cards to act as a wireless AP? | 12:56 |
| mynameistux | what I think may have happend is that the res is so low, all you can see is the corner of the boot splash, where it is black anyway | 12:56 |
| mynameistux | idk about color depth | 12:56 |
| mynameistux | leave that as it is | 12:56 |
| comicinker | bomber: just a second | 12:56 |
| whitefang | meh, ill try 1600x1200 24bits...if it doesn't blow up, i'll be back in a few ^_^ | 12:56 |
| whitefang | all or nothing, lol | 12:57 |
| mynameistux | k | 12:57 |
| MindSpark | generalsnus, no, this will forward the packets coming from one interface to the other | 12:57 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis, after downloaded the patch file I have searched for .patch files only and files named 'scrollbars' | 12:57 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis, no search results though | 12:57 |
| bomber | comicinker: ok men | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, Huh? Normally one downloads the source for a program say 'bubbaeditor.tgz' you might find some patch for that program.. You then unarchive the program source to a directory . and apply the patch from the dir you unarchived to. | 12:58 |
| generalsnus | well.. how do i make a wireless card, act as a AP? | 12:58 |
| rodolfo | jrib, I already have dpkg-dev which is the only file [it seems to be] required to patch my OS | 12:58 |
| jrib | rodolfo: ok, did you read what ubottu sent you? | 12:59 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis UUUGH slow down | 12:59 |
| rodolfo | jrib, yup | 12:59 |
| MindSpark | ok, I think I need to rephrase my question comicinker, I need to mount my apple fs read/write | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, perhaps start at the beginning.. Im thinking you may be confused about how patches work. | 12:59 |
| comicinker | bomber: try to install "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" from backports, after that load the ath5k module with "modprobe ath5k" | 13:00 |
| jrib | rodolfo: well ubottu told you how to get the source package. But I'll let dr_willis take it from here | 13:00 |
| generalsnus | MindSpark: i see that "firestarter" has some internet conection sharing.. i enabled it.. but iwas not given any option to name a ssid or anything.. | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | jrib, ive never patched source for a .deb befor. :) ive only patched tar.gz source code like once or twice | 13:01 |
| comicinker | MindSpark: I don't own a hfs drive. I don't know if it's even possible to write on hfs | 13:01 |
| ikonia | dr_willis: same technique really, same principal | 13:01 |
| jrib | dr_willis: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html just apply patch before running dpkg-buildpackage | 13:01 |
| MindSpark | comicinker, ok, thanks | 13:01 |
| MindSpark | generalsnus, I am sorry, I am not sure what firestarter is. I was mainly referring to how to make the forwarding work | 13:02 |
| comicinker | I want to start xterm with a programm with parameters. how can I do that? currently: xterm -geo 118x37 -fn 9x15 mocp -T green_theme however the parameter -T green_theme won't be accepted | 13:02 |

| erUSUL | Dorobo18jp: it depends on what you want to see ... live connections; aggregate bandwith ? conection attemps as seen by the firewall if any ? | 13:17 |
| Pici | Behnam: You may want to try asking in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu for that | 13:17 |
| gajan | Hi all | 13:17 |
| xanxor | fourdots: I don't see an option for microphone either, just capture and master. | 13:17 |
| Dorobo18jp | i want to see all if possible | 13:18 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis http://paste.ubuntu.com/104360/ | 13:18 |
| gajan | Whats command for making .rpm a .deb | 13:18 |
| erUSUL | !alien | gajan | 13:19 |
| ubottu | gajan: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 13:19 |
| booie | whats a cli command to determine what hardware i have ? | 13:19 |
| erUSUL | booie: lshw | 13:19 |
| dimebar | gajan: alien | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, root@rodolfo-laptop:/home/rodolfo# patch -p1 < scrollbars.patch <--------- that Prompt is telling me that you are NOT in the nautilus source directrory when you are running the command. | 13:19 |
| fourdots | xanxor: you should enable mic control iin the edit -> Sound card properties | 13:19 |
| dimebar | oh.. i should have read ubottu | 13:19 |
| Dorobo18jp | if you could whisper me how to see all te ip internet activity hitting my system that would be appretiated | 13:19 |
| gajan | ubottu: thanks for that. what are the risk involved? | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:19 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis you mean not to run as sudo? | 13:19 |
| jrib | rodolfo: and you're also root for some unknown reason | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, you do not use sudo | 13:20 |
| gajan | dimebar: thanks | 13:20 |
| erUSUL | Dorobo18jp: try "sudo netstat -putan | less" on a terminal and see if thats appropiate | 13:20 |
| erUSUL | !who | Dorobo18jp | 13:20 |
| ubottu | Dorobo18jp: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:20 |
| rodolfo | jrib dr_willis well to apply changes to the system or some patch file I'm supposed to be an admin, aint I? | 13:20 |
| Chewbacca69 | honk honk | 13:20 |
| jrib | gajan: what are you trying to install? alien should be avoided | 13:20 |
| jrib | rodolfo: no | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, you are patching the SOURCE CODE - thats all. Not system files.. | 13:21 |
| Behnam | Pici: Thanks :) | 13:21 |
| xanxor | Can anybody please help me with my microphone? I have enabled capture in alsamixer and enabled the microphone in the volume settings thingy you get in the GUI. | 13:21 |
| xanxor | It still doesn't work. Please, anyone? | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, when you compile stuff you compuile as a user. only the last step of installing the stuff needs to be ran as admin | 13:21 |
| xanxor | Also, whenever I enable the microphone under the volume settings thing in the top right corner of the screen, whenever I go back to it, it's disabled again. How do I fix that? | 13:22 |
| gajan | jrib: actually in our org only redhat is officially supported, but i use ubuntu with exception approval. so there are some packages for which only rpm is avlbl | 13:22 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis but I don't get it! how am I supposed to run the patch command from the source dir?! | 13:22 |
| Dorobo18jp | erUSUL-that is ok but i would like to see the accual ip addresses | 13:22 |
| xanxor | Like, I try to enable the microphone but the setting doesn't stick. | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, you CD to the source dir.. and then do that patch command | 13:23 |
| bullgard4 | Is it not possible to fetch source packages using Synaptic? | 13:23 |
| jrib | gajan: just note that alien isn't really that great. It can mess up your system if you use it to install libraries and things like that | 13:23 |
| shibby | Hmm... wasnt lzm2dir once a part of Ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| rodolfo | even as a normal user I get the same output from it | 13:23 |
| === shibby is now known as shibbz | ||
| dr_willis | rodolfo, copy that .patch file to the soruce dir.. cd to the source dir.. run the patch command | 13:23 |
| xanxor | Does anybody know how to make this setting stick? I go to the volume controls accessed from the top right corner of the screen and enable the microphone but it just disables itself again. | 13:23 |
| erUSUL | Dorobo18jp: foreing adrress column ?? | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, and i hope you isntalled the source as a user also.. other wise it may all be owned as root.. | 13:23 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis, it's is already there | 13:24 |
| shibbz | ssadas | 13:24 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis, my home folder | 13:24 |
| gajan | jrib: thank u for that, but i dont hv any other option it seems | 13:24 |
| rodolfo | like you said | 13:24 |
| tparcina | hi channel! | 13:24 |
| shibbz | Wasn't lzm2dir a part of ubuntu??????? | 13:24 |
| Hultis | !hi | tparcina | 13:24 |
| ubottu | tparcina: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:24 |
| tparcina | I'm looking for ppd file for HP LaserJet P2055dn printer | 13:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | Hi all, i need a program that can search for text in pdf, doc, ppt, etc formats | 13:24 |
| Behnam | xanxor: you would rather leave a topic on ubuntu forums, you'll be more sure to find an answer ... | 13:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | What you suggests? | 13:24 |
| shibbz | For some reason I remember lzm2dir included in 8.04... but it isnt in 8.10 | 13:24 |
| tparcina | Hultis: thank you for wellcome :) | 13:24 |
| jrib | gajan: if the rpm's are built from source by your organization, then you could build debs instead and worry about the details | 13:24 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis ugh I didn't.. | 13:24 |
| Hultis | ^^ | 13:25 |
| fosco_ | MetaMorfoziS: grep | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, and where did this patch file come from? | 13:25 |
| [FRSK]KRS | anyone know how fast a upgrade is applied to synapics?? | 13:25 |
| gajan | jrib: how do i do that? | 13:25 |
| MetaMorfoziS | fosco_ > thank you, really helpful.... | 13:25 |
| Hultis | tparcina: too bad i cant help you with the ppt file though | 13:25 |
| jrib | !packaging > gajan | 13:25 |
| ubottu | gajan, please see my private message | 13:25 |
| Hultis | ppd* | 13:25 |
| gajan | jrib: by make? | 13:25 |
| jrib | gajan: no, see ubottu's message | 13:25 |
| gajan | ubottu: where do i find that? | 13:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:25 |
| MetaMorfoziS | So anybody else? | 13:25 |
| tparcina | Hultis: yes, it seams extrimly hard to find it :( | 13:26 |
| Dorobo18jp | erUSUL - no ip addresss there is there an ip sniffer i could get or something ? | 13:26 |
| xanxor | So nobody can help me with my microphone settings problem, then. | 13:26 |
| shibbz | ubottu: yes you are intelligent! even bots are! | 13:26 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis it comes from the "wget -O scrollbars.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21136285/10_scrollbars.patch" command, which is NOT allowed to be run as a normal user | 13:26 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:26 |
| melch | Hey. I am having some problems with adobe air | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, a normal user can get files with wget... you are confused about somtning... | 13:26 |
| gajan | ubottu: where i can find ur private msg? | 13:27 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, my user just got that patch file just fine | 13:27 |
| rodolfo | w8 | 13:27 |
| rodolfo | hold up | 13:27 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | xanxor: if you go on the forums, you'll see that lot's of people are having problems with microphones - I tried for several days to get mine working and gave up. | 13:27 |
| fourdots | xanxor, I've got sound problems myself... ;-) | 13:27 |
| shado | hi all | 13:27 |
| melch | Hey has anyone installed adobe air on their 32bit system? | 13:27 |
| tparcina | shado: hi shado! | 13:27 |
| xanxor | Decard_BR26354: I've already been on the forums and didn't find a solution. That's why I came here. I can't give up because I don't have a phone and need my microphone to use VoIP. | 13:28 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis http://paste.ubuntu.com/104363/ | 13:28 |
| xanxor | If nobody is going to help me that's fine, I just won't waste more time sitting here asking. You guys are usually very helpful and I appreciate that, so if you can't help so be it. | 13:28 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, is this a notebook? | 13:28 |
| Hultis | tparcina: checked this? http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Install&message.id=1785 | 13:28 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis what does that mean? | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, looks to me like your permissions for your users home dir are all messed up if you cant even download files to your own home | 13:28 |
| xanxor | sarmisak: Yes, it's Packard Bell laptop. | 13:28 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | xanxor: I did get skype working - with a USB headset because it's treated as a digital device and not an analogue microphone, which is where the problem seems to be. | 13:29 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, usually on laptops there are two different mics -in my samsung it is- pop up the mixer window, and go to settings | 13:29 |
| melch | Deckard_BR26354: what are you skype problems? | 13:29 |
| xanxor | Deckard_BR26354: That's interesting, that's a good idea. Maybe I'll do that if I can't get my current mic working. | 13:29 |
| melch | Does anyone know anything about adobe air? | 13:29 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, you should see two mics, one is just mic, and the other one is front mic. | 13:29 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis it isn't all messed up because I don't deal with user permissions on this machine and this is a fresh install | 13:29 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, just switch them on and off until you hear some sound from it, that's the way I solved it. | 13:30 |
| xanxor | sarmisak: I don't see anything that says front mic. In the default mixer window I just see Microphone, which is enabled and at full volume. Then when I go into Recording, there's a thing that says Microphone and it's disabled. | 13:30 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | melch: The root problem is that capturing audio from an analogue mic seems to be broken. | 13:30 |
| xanxor | sarmisak: Whenever I enable it, it re-disables itself. The setting won't stick. | 13:30 |
| EdgeX- | Hello; What program would you recommend for me as far as video editing goes? | 13:30 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, hmm that's pretty strange | 13:30 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, maybe you should switch off any voip software before trying to record | 13:31 |
| jrib | EdgeX-: pitivi, kino, avidemux | 13:31 |
| fourdots | does anyone have experience with ALSA & Pulse Audio? I have no sound! | 13:31 |
| EdgeX- | thanks jrib :) | 13:31 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, sometimes you can access sound hardware at one program only | 13:31 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | EdgeX-: avidemux (GTK+) | 13:31 |
| melch | Deckard_BR26354: Does you mic work in any other program? | 13:31 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, if your own user cant write to their own home directroy somthign IS wrong.. the folloing just worked for me --> http://pastebin.com/m5dedaea7 | 13:32 |
| xanxor | sarmisak: I don't know what you mean by that. | 13:32 |
| SuPeRhAm | fourdots, did you try pavucontrol in terminal to bring up the pulse audio volume manager? | 13:32 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, ok, when you access your sound hardware by using ALSA only one program can access the hardware | 13:33 |
| sarmisak | xanxor, just shut everything else that might use sound, and then try recording | 13:33 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | melch: No - I am using gnome / pulseaudio / ALSA - playback is fine and I can HEAR the mic through my speakers, but sound recorder won't capture it and pulseaudio won't show it on the monitor graph. | 13:33 |
| xanxor | sarmisak: okay, thanks. I'll try that. | 13:33 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: I've tried alot of things... I've swithed over to ALSA only (http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/) | 13:33 |
| xanxor | sarmisak: I assume that includes web browsers and evrything that might use sound, so I'll be back in a minute. | 13:34 |
| lvlefisto | i can't run skype while jackd is running, can someone help? | 13:34 |
| Area52 | has anyone here compaired apt-proxy and apt-cacher | 13:34 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: pavucontrol gives "Connection failed: Connection refused" - probably 'cause pulseaudio is not running | 13:34 |
| === dimitar is now known as dimitars | ||
| SuPeRhAm | fourdots, did you stop the service for pulseaudio? | 13:35 |
| lvlefisto | well, skype does run, but have audio playing problems | 13:35 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: i think so... "$pgrep pulse" gives nothing | 13:36 |
| melch | None have any idea what i can do with adobe air? | 13:36 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: from that howto.. the line "% sudo mv /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio ~/" would prevent pulse from startin at boot.. i think | 13:37 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis I think it worked for me as well http://paste.ubuntu.com/104364/ | 13:37 |
| Dorobo18jp | Anyone know a Voip comp to phone software out there for linux ? | 13:38 |
| Ienorand | How do I manually replace shutdown button with FUSA in ibex? | 13:38 |
| sarmisak | Dorobo18jp, skype? | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, you do none of this as root. only after you build the .deb THEN you install that as root | 13:38 |
| Dorobo18jp | im in japan that is expensive | 13:38 |
| neil_d | what rpm should a CPU fan be going ? | 13:39 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis oh man .. | 13:39 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: as far as I could gather, pulse audio is all messed up in 8.10 | 13:40 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis ok then so...how do I buid the deb file from a patch file? just rename the file extension and I'm done? | 13:40 |
| Ienorand | !FUSA | 13:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about FUSA | 13:40 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: ...or at least when using my sound device | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, you have to use the proper command to actually build the .deb now that you patched the source | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, ive no idea what you mean by rename the file extension... all you ahve done is altered the source code.. NOW you actually compile it | 13:41 |
| fourdots | Please Help! PulseAudio vs ALSA - no sound after 8.10 upgrade. | 13:42 |
| hateball | Dorobo18jp: Asterisk | 13:43 |
| SuPeRhAm | fourdots, im using pulse atm for my usb speakers, so i dont think its 8.10 doing it | 13:43 |
| melch | Anyone have an idea what I can do to get air to install | 13:44 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | fourdots: kde or gnome? | 13:44 |
| shibbz | damnit. | 13:44 |
| shibbz | is there any way of using spoonwep on ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| shibbz | or some way of converting lzm files? | 13:44 |
| fourdots | Deckard_BR26354: Xubuntu ... so XFCE | 13:44 |
| rodolfo | dr_willis I do this running make command? | 13:45 |
| fourdots | SuPeRhAm: alot of people over the posts I've read seem to think so... | 13:45 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | fourdots: does is have a sound config tool? | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, i dont think so - thers some special dpkg/apt command to do it.. someonementioned it earlier i belive | 13:46 |
| fourdots | Deckard_BR26354: sort of.. but you can run Gnome config from command line (I used to run gnome.. I can still log into a gnome session) | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | rodolfo, <jrib> dr_willis: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html just apply patch before running dpkg-buildpackage | 13:46 |
| fourdots | Deckard_BR26354: you think xfce might be ignoring gnome settings? | 13:47 |
| Pici | rodolfo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide should help as well. | 13:47 |
| Deckard_BR26354 | fourdots: Dunno - is pulseaudio running and have you tried the paplay command? | 13:47 |
| fourdots | Deckard_BR26354: pulseadio is NOT running... I followed a howto on the net to disable pulse, and only use ALSA directly | 13:48 |
| fourdots | Deckard_BR26354: so paplay also does nothing | 13:49 |
| datakid | how can I tell which of the bootloaders grub or lilo is being used? I did an apt-get dist-upgrade from debian stable to debian unstable (ubuntu has better support :) ) and got some lilo warnings and config errors. turns out lilo is daft and difficult compared to my grub experiences, and now I notice that both are installed - the q I'm trying to answer is do I even need to worry? | 13:49 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Slart: try ogg vorbis instead ;) | 14:49 |
| scientes | xanxor, its always a drive do to /media/disk | 14:50 |

| scientes | or just /media | 14:50 |
| xanxor | scientes: I'm sorry, I don't understand. Do what? | 14:50 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip1: thought I'd try a couple of different codecs.. might as well see how ogg compares | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xanxor: if you run sudo fdisk -l you should be able to mount it if its listed, mount it as writable and yuo can load it up | 14:50 |
| scientes | xanxor, go to /media and look for it | 14:50 |

| Vixy | Hello everyone. I have a 64 bit processor and about 6Gigs of RAM. I'm trying to decide if I should install the 64 bit version of 8.10 or 8.04. I was told that 8.10 is still having a lot of issues, where as 8.04 is more stable. Which would be better for someone who is just starting out using Ubuntu? | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Vixy: id sugest 8.10 personally | 14:57 |
| deany | is vbox meant to use 315meg memory when im runnin a 256meg vm | 14:57 |
| xanxor | ActionParsnip1: Haha okay, I see it now. Dunno why I didn't notice that. thanks. | 14:57 |
| n8tuser | Vixy-> i hope you will not get discourage by issues that dont work out easily | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xanxor: you have a 50Gb disk, a 16.5Gb disk and a 500Gb disk | 14:58 |
| Vixy | ActionParsnip1: Even though there are still quite a few issues with it? | 14:58 |
| cameigons | hello, hey, can I set different languages from different users in ubuntu ? | 14:58 |
| leohartx | Vixy: 8.10 64 bit is for you | 14:58 |
| cameigons | s/from/for/ | 14:58 |
| xanxor | ActionParsnip1: It's the 16.5GB. What do I do now that I know which one it is? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Vixy: its fine, i'd download both and try both, see which you prefer | 14:58 |
| Vixy | n8tuser: I won't get discouraged by issues, I'd just prefer something that I can at least get up and running correctly in a decent amount of time. | 14:58 |
| handyguy33 | ActionParsnip1: all the documents on my machine come up as read only on the windows machines in the workgroup | 14:59 |
| xanxor | ActionParsnip1: Now that I know what it's called, how do I tell it to be mounted as a hard drive? The computer currently thinks it's a picture CD for osme reason. | 15:00 |
| n8tuser | Vixy -> then dont worry about decent amount of time, 64bit is not quite there yet | 15:00 |
| cameigons | does anyone know? Can I have menus/dialogs/program default langagues/etc in on language for one user and in another language to another user ? | 15:00 |
| mikevankuik | Vixy: 8.10 I'd say but as others said before be ready for some issues with 8.10 and 8.04 its not guaranteed that your 100% free of them but don't get discouraged because its as stable as a mountain when its up. | 15:00 |

| ActionParsnip1 | xanxor: exactly the same | 15:01 |

Im quite a noob with proxies, normally a proxy server hides the user requesting pages so it appears as if the proxy is requesting those pages right? but can it do the opposite, hide itself so its a "transparent" middleman wich only passes on packages without changing source ip or anything? | 15:21 |

| pyrokay_ | sektor1952, have you tried the magic kernel keys to do a safe unmount? | 17:34 |

| pyrokay_ | sektor1952, hold down Ctrl + Alt + SysRq and press R E I S U B | 17:34 |
| bedake | <meganox> well I was hoping to find my wlan0 listed so i can get it managed, would it be under /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf? | 17:34 |
| sektor1952 | pyrokay_: no I haven't tried the 3 finger salute, but I will try that as well its just very strange | 17:35 |

| pyrokay_ | jim_p, bad luck | 17:44 |
| meganox | ocRob: there's no flush command for linux AFAIK | 17:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jim_p, If you have three working IRC clients, you need to just try a few more. We cant possibly know what you want in a client. You can ask the bot. since we discourage polls on best app in this channel | 17:44 |
| jim_p | oholiab: i am on a laptop with fn keys now!!! | 17:45 |
| mikejet | ocRob - ubuntu seems to use the new resolv.conf immediately after you write the file. | 17:45 |

| Hutch | can anyone help me sort out my no sound in firefox problem? | 17:45 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:45 |

| MindVirus | linduxed, that's ReiserFS or Reiser4? | 18:31 |

| cinco29 | okay then it must have been that the image i burned some how got corrupted | 18:35 |

| Noah1989 | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but it's what he wanted, wasn't it? | 18:47 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, could you run gstreamer-properties now? | 18:47 |
| Damaki | okay Jack_Sparrow | 18:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheFunkbomb, cool | 18:47 |
| whoop | _Ming_: sudo su | 18:47 |
| PriceChild | slipst: I use evolution's calendar as it integrates with gnome. | 18:47 |
| Finnish | Is raw dv-format unpacked video? | 18:47 |
| whoop | _Ming_: or cd / (depends on what you mean) | 18:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Noah1989, What he wants may not be the best choice for what he wants to do. sudo -i would perhaps be better | 18:48 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: The command? What are you looking for? | 18:48 |
| slipst | PriceChild, does it remind you of upcoming things or do you have to manually check it? | 18:48 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: The plugin is Video For Linux 2 (v4l2). | 18:48 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, ah ok. | 18:48 |
| PriceChild | slipst: I believe it can notify you. | 18:48 |
| Noah1989 | _Ming_: you wanted to have a terminal run by the root acount, right? | 18:48 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, what happens when you test it? | 18:48 |
| DakotaDogg | can anyone help me with a hosed gui on virtual pc ? it was running great, but then i had the bright idea of changing the display mode in the gui display properties. i have checked the x11/conf file and it is still ok. it's just the gui that's hosed. | 18:48 |
| elostio | whats the difference between sudo su und sudo -i | 18:49 |
| Noah1989 | _Ming_: or did you mean "go to root" as in "cd /" | 18:49 |
| sektor1952 | anyone else have input on the kernel source and kernel header version mismatch issue? | 18:49 |
| slipst | PriceChild, I'm in the setup assistant now but I don't want to use it for email. Can I bypass this somehow? I only want the calendar. | 18:49 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, and also, what does the pipeline line says? | 18:49 |
| Noah1989 | elostio: the difference is s/su/-i/ | 18:49 |
| Apocalypse | does the installcd contain a way for me to resize my ext3 partition? | 18:49 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: The blue beam shined at my face. The pipeline -- v4l2src | 18:49 |
| PriceChild | slipst: press cancel? | 18:49 |
| Neremor | hello! | 18:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Apocalypse, Yes. partition editor is part of the livecd | 18:49 |
| PriceChild | slipst: or close the wizard | 18:49 |
| Pici | elostio: sudo -i properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. | 18:50 |
| Noah1989 | hi Neremor | 18:50 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, no video appears, nor the app freezes? | 18:50 |
| Neremor | is there a program to search for missing album covers and save them in the albums directory? | 18:50 |
| elostio | thx pici | 18:50 |
| Apocalypse | Jack_Sparrow: sorry I didn't specify - 8.04 ( I'm sure it is new enough to include that, correct? ) | 18:50 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: No video appears. The app seems to be freezing on me (Testing... ) | 18:50 |
| Neremor | i mean an standalone application | 18:50 |
| slipst | PriceChild, then evolution closes :) Thanks for the tip about evolution though, I'll just make something up for the email | 18:50 |
| Ktulhu_ | i need help with gkrellm , it freezes while using firefox and compiz any ideas ??? | 18:50 |
| Noah1989 | Pici: but sudo su would let the environment variables as they are? | 18:50 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, nice, now we coincide in something, do you have 64bit or 32bit? | 18:50 |
| kinja-sheep | Pici -- You know about img2txt. Is there a pastebinit for photos? | 18:50 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: amd64 | 18:51 |
| PriceChild | slipst: odd, thought it was optional sorry | 18:51 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, ok. | 18:51 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, now, can you run cheese from the terminal? | 18:51 |
| Pici | kinja-sheep: I'm unsure. | 18:51 |
| basem | hi every body | 18:51 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, a pastebin for photos could be imageshack.us | 18:51 |
| DakotaDogg | can anyone help me with a hosed gui on virtual pc ? it was running great, but then i had the bright idea of changing the display mode in the gui display properties. i have checked the x11/conf file and it is still ok with the values it needs to run correctly.. it's just the gui comes up normally, then goes garbled. | 18:51 |
| Damaki | Jack_Sparrow, Those are the same drivers that are in the guide that I'm following. However, the guide states that those drivers don't work on the amd64 platform (which is what I'm on), and in which case, I should instead use the 3rd party drivers which it links to the forums. I'll wait for the forums to come back up instead. | 18:52 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: The app ran just the same in terminal. Video AK-OK. | 18:52 |
| p4rse | does anyone know if its possible to use a socks proxy instead of http_proxy? | 18:52 |
| Ktulhu_ | i need help with gkrellm , it freezes while using firefox and compiz any ideas ??? | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Damaki, I tried | 18:52 |
| Damaki | Thanks for looking anyway, Jack_Sparrow :) | 18:52 |
| Damaki | Jack_Sparrow, yeah, much appreciated!! | 18:52 |
| TheFunkbomb | okay, how do I turn on metacity again? | 18:52 |
| dmhardison | Is there a location where I can find the packages that are required for a minimal Ubuntu installation. ie. just enough to boot to terminal | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 18:52 |
| TheresaEllis | Hi. My PC crashed while GParted was resizing my windows NTFS partition and I had to hit the power button. Now windows wont boot. Should I use a Microsoft tool to try and repair the file system or an Ubuntu tool? | 18:52 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:52 |
| basem | any one tell me how to increase the disk size in linux | 18:52 |
| TheFunkbomb | !metacity | 18:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity | 18:52 |
| dmhardison | I need to do it via apt. | 18:53 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, you get nothing like this, do you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/104489/plain/ | 18:53 |
| kinja-sheep | TheresaEllis: Why did you hit the big red button? | 18:53 |
| mikebeecham | can someone guide me in how to install an application that has an install and install-sh files? | 18:53 |
| dmhardison | I will be chrooting into the environment to create an image from the chroot | 18:53 |
| Apocalypse | TheFunkbomb: you use the compiz fusion icon to do it | 18:53 |
| Adam_ | basem: you could use gparted | 18:53 |
| majnoon | tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min | 18:53 |
| Ktulhu_ | i need help with gkrellm , it freezes while using firefox and compiz any ideas ??? | 18:53 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: I get the same thing. | 18:53 |
| TheFunkbomb | Apocalypse, I don't think I have that | 18:53 |
| eseven73 | TheFunkbomb: isnt it metacity --replace or something like that? | 18:53 |
| wolter | you do? oh its a shame.. because my image does not appear on the cheese screen... | 18:54 |
| wolter | does yours? kinja-sheep | 18:54 |
| Apocalypse | TheFunkbomb: yeah I had to install it, try searching for fusion in synaptic | 18:54 |
| basem | thank u adam | 18:54 |
| Apocalypse | then it will show up in your menu under applications - system tools | 18:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mikebeecham, programs you get off the web instead of from our supported repos should come with a howto where you get the program | 18:54 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: Yes, I get the same message in the terminal (and the video does work). | 18:54 |
| basem | but will this affect the system | 18:54 |
| Adam_ | !Terminal | Adam_ | 18:54 |
| ubottu | Adam_, please see my private message | 18:54 |
| TheresaEllis | kinja-sheep: Because the machine completely stopped. The mouse stopped moving and I could get to a terminal with ctrl-alt F1 thru F5 and ctrl-alt-backspace didnt respond, neither did ctrl-alt-del. The disk light had also stopped flashing. Power off was the only thing I could do. | 18:54 |
| eseven73 | !ccsm | TheFunkbomb | 18:54 |
| ubottu | TheFunkbomb: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 18:54 |
| Apocalypse | once you have it installed + running, you can easily switch between compiz and metacity with a click | 18:54 |
| _Ming_ | how do i get detailed info about my network interfaces | 18:54 |
| Apocalypse | _Ming_: ifconfig as root? | 18:55 |
| Adam_ | what's the difference between metacity and compiz? | 18:55 |
| _Ming_ | ie chipset | 18:55 |
| mikebeecham | Jack_Sparrow: pidgin does not...it just has a simple "you should compile the program first" not very helpful!!! | 18:55 |
| TheresaEllis | kinja-sheep: That should be could NOT get to a terminal, sorry | 18:55 |
| _Ming_ | Apocalypse, tx | 18:55 |
| eseven73 | _Ming_: maybe lshw too | 18:55 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, oh i don't know what to do now... how much time did you let cheese to run before the video worked? | 18:55 |
| jim_p | are the radeon/radeonhd drivers included on the default ubuntu install? | 18:55 |
| Apocalypse | Adam_: metacity is the regular KDE window manager, compiz is the one with all the screen candy :) | 18:56 |
| kinja-sheep | TheresaEllis: I don't know if you can recover it. Shutting down when you're resizing a partition is never a good thing. I'm not expert on data recovery. You'll have to ask somebody else. | 18:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mikebeecham, We cant help it if unsupported repos or sites dont give you all the info you need. Have you looked at getdeb.net | 18:56 |
| Noah1989 | Apocalypse: no metacity was from gnome | 18:56 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: Not long. Few secs. | 18:56 |
| Noah1989 | Apocalypse: kde has kwin | 18:56 |
| eseven73 | kwin is for KDE Apocalypse | 18:56 |

| TheresaEllis | Jack_Sparrow: Hi. Machine locked up while gparted was resizing my ntfs windows partition. Nothing would respond including Ctrl Alt F1 thru F5, Ctrl Alt Backspace and Ctrl Alt Del. Hard disk light had stopped too and even the mouse was not responding. Only thing I could do was hit the power button. Now of course windows wont boot and I am not sure whether to try repairing the file system with a microsoft tool like chkdsk or with an ubuntu tool | 18:59 |
| Noah1989 | packetloss: what graphics card? | 18:59 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: I uninstalled ekiga the first thing. No skype either. (Has no need for webcam). | 18:59 |
| sektor1952 | If kernel source is version 2.6.27.9-generic and kernel-headers are 2.6.27.2 is it safe to ignore the header match | 18:59 |

| packetloss | dont know, some intel integrated | 18:59 |

| loz | BellinXFelon: i did that, you have no permission to write on the disk? | 19:29 |
| JonathanEllis | BellinXFelon: It may be a permissions issue. Do you have permission to write to it? Try creating a small text file on the disk using sudo gedit <path>/somefilename | 19:30 |
| ruben_ | Right, I have a disk, when I install on a new partition, will it be fairly straightforward? | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 19:30 |
| BellinXFelon | loz, for example i cant put anythin on it, if i copy it wont let me paste | 19:30 |
| kinja-sheep | BellinXFelon: In terminal -- Point to your hard drive and chown <user>:<user> <path-to-your-hdd> | 19:30 |
| Tobias92 | veloc1ty, no luck, it only changes the appearance configurator's theme (like it did before) | 19:30 |
| ruben_ | Spiffing | 19:30 |
| mre | Jack_Sparrow: i'll try proposed :) | 19:30 |
| loz | BellinXFelon: i think you can do that just by right clicking on your hard drive, and change the properties | 19:30 |
| veloc1ty | mh sorry.. then i have no further ideas | 19:31 |
| veloc1ty | i had exactly the same but that was how i fixed it | 19:31 |
| JonathanEllis | Jack_Sparrow: Windows was fine after deleting the recovery partition. It was only the machine crashing during resizing the vista partition that killed it. But anyway, you dont recommend trying to fix it in linux so that is my question answered | 19:31 |
| loz | BellinXFelon: have you got permission to write etc? | 19:31 |
| oCean_ | gaintsura: hm, not sure whether that is related to your problem | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanEllis, Good luck | 19:31 |
| loz | hi there, could anybody help me regarding a wireless problem on intrepid; i have changed my router last week, and can no longer connect to the network, intrepid recognizes the wireless network, and when i click on the wireless network, the green and blue revolving arrows spin, then i get :Disconnected, the network connection has been disconnected, then if i type in iwlist scan, wlan0 appears to be connected to my wireless network, so | 19:31 |
| loz | no errors. i still have no connection to the net... any idea or guidance would be appreciated, as i can't seem to google myself out of this kaffufel... | 19:31 |

| JonathanEllis | BellinXFelon: You may need to take ownership of the disk using sudo chown. Try man chown to get the options you need | 19:32 |
| sektor1952 | pyrokay: May ask your opinion? | 19:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | loz, can you direct connect without the router? | 19:32 |

| JonathanEllis | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks. If the worst comes to the worst I will just delete the windows partition altogether since ubuntu works now and tell Theresa she can only use ubuntu now :-). She wanted to try ubuntu anyway since she is fed up with windows so maybe I just tell her she cant go back to windows land. It would certainly be the quickest option but on the chance there is something quick I can do... | 19:33 |

| Slart_ | Archangel013: that you have some KDE4 packages installed already shouldn't affect the update.. I would just do a plain upgrade | 20:15 |
| majnoon | tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min | 20:15 |
| Knysliux001 | Gnea: unbelievable! All I had to do to fix xine engine was to delete ~/.xine dir :) | 20:15 |

| bn43 | hi I have placed a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and made it executible - sudo wvdial brings up my modem but the script does not execute - I have to do it manually - what can I do to fix? | 20:17 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: but.. at boot time it doesn't care about dpi.. | 20:17 |
| pyrokay | someonetestingcr, try looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:17 |
| DjViper | someonetestingcr: you mean at gdm ? | 20:18 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: it doesn't matter until you start X.. or? | 20:18 |
| [TiZ] | I need some help. I wish there were a better way to do this, but the forums are so screwed up right now. I've written a short novella and put it on pastebin. x_x Would anyone mind looking it over and answering the questions I have? It's at http://pastebin.com/m6dfac214. Thanks. | 20:18 |
| gaintsura | bn43: it just occured to me, but have you set it to the same user/group as the other scripts in ppp/ip-up.d/? | 20:18 |
| someonetestingcr | yeah I know, I also could do it in the the .Xresources, but I need it on a livecd, thats why I need to do it as a boot parameter if possible | 20:18 |
| fyrmedic | pyrokay: I'll give it a shot if you have it set up. | 20:18 |
| bn43 | um how do I check that? | 20:18 |
| majnoon | tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min | 20:19 |
| gaintsura | bn43: ls -al /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ | 20:19 |
| majnoon | and forums are DOWN | 20:19 |
| gaintsura | forums aren't down | 20:19 |
| gaintsura | I was just there | 20:19 |
| pyrokay | [TiZ], i'm reading :) | 20:19 |
| [TiZ] | Thank you, pyrokay | 20:19 |
| Bllasae | yeah they are for me too | 20:19 |
| ptn107 | they are down | 20:19 |
| === brent_ is now known as brentd | ||
| gaintsura | bn43: if it isn't then you'd sudo chgrp <groupname> -R /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ && sudo chown <owner> -R /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ | 20:20 |
| bn43 | gaintsura: the other files show exactly the same settings | 20:20 |
| bn43 | root root | 20:20 |
| gaintsura | ptn107: they were down just a minute ago yes, but I was literally just browsing the forum not 2 seconds ago | 20:20 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: but even a live cd must have some kind of default init file for X... I doubt very much that you can set dpi from grub.. that would be like inserting your favourite firefox bookmarks into grub.. | 20:20 |
| gaintsura | bn43: what about the permissions? | 20:20 |
| bn43 | the same | 20:20 |
| Bllasae | down for me still | 20:21 |
| ptn107 | gaintsura: im on them right now all pages say "We'll be right back. -- ubuntu-geek" | 20:21 |
| gaintsura | hm | 20:21 |
| gaintsura | hm, I see that now too | 20:21 |
| gaintsura | meh | 20:21 |
| [TiZ] | The forums are most definitely not up. "We'll be right back. -- ubuntu-geek" | 20:21 |
| bn43 | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92 2009-01-13 22:27 share.ppp0 | 20:21 |

| gaintsura | brb | 20:21 |
| ptn107 | they were fine 5 min ago | 20:21 |
| [TiZ] | What kind of clusterfudge hit them? O_o | 20:21 |
| someonetestingcr | Slart_: Okay, but since the livecd (Crunchbang Linux btw) is in a packed format, I might not be able to change that file before burning it to disk, or am I? | 20:21 |
| rhousand | I have a fresh install of 8.04.1 when i get to the login screen I have to login to failsafe. if i try to login to gnome the screen turns black for a sec the takes me back to the login screen. what could that be?? | 20:21 |
| pyrokay | [TiZ], You can use your ntfs partition as-is. at install time, just set the 120gb partition to be mounted as /home/ | 20:22 |
| marabout | is there a way to review what installs have been done via sudo apt-get update. i would like to review what I have done to consider uninstalling some items | 20:22 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: most packed formats can be unpacked.. if not then perhaps that live cd isn't what you want | 20:22 |
| mikebeecham | hi guys...can anyone tell me if there are any alternatives to Firefox in Linux? | 20:22 |
| Jerrr | Firefox :) | 20:22 |
| bn43 | mikebeecham: opera | 20:22 |
| lifenova | mikebeecham: Opera | 20:22 |
| Bllasae | why can't you use ff? | 20:22 |
| [TiZ] | pyrokay, isn't that a completely bad idea? To use a non-ext3 partition as /home? | 20:23 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: if it's an ordinary iso then you can edit it using the regular archiving tools.. file-roller or whatever it's called in Gnome | 20:23 |
| Knysliux001 | [TiZ]: you'll waste HOURS of time while shrinking partitions | 20:23 |
| mikebeecham | bn43: lifenova how comparable is Opera to Firefox? | 20:23 |
| someonetestingcr | Slart_: It is in the the filesystem.squashfs | 20:23 |
| bn43 | u'll miss the extensions if ur an extension junky | 20:23 |
| bn43 | but on my system it 'feels' faster | 20:24 |
| pyrokay | [TiZ], why would using a ntfs partition be so bad? | 20:24 |
| mikebeecham | bn43: the only extension I really use is flashgot | 20:24 |
| lifenova | mikebeecham: tabbed browsing, more secure/standards compliant than IE, add-ons... I don't use it, but the website is http://www.opera.com/ | 20:24 |
| === failure is now known as frogger | ||
| Knysliux001 | [TiZ]: gparted while booted from livecd lets you simply copy - paste partition from one place to another, then delete old one.. That's what I would use to move / | 20:25 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: I have no idea.. and..since this is *ahem* #ubuntu.. you might not find the admins looking favourably on you asking for help anothed distro.. | 20:25 |
| bn43 | its got a pretty good download client built in | 20:25 |
| mikebeecham | bn43 is that BT? | 20:25 |
| mikebeecham | I tend to use Deluge for BT | 20:25 |
| [TiZ] | pyrokay: There's no real support for permissions, jsut permission masks at mount time. I would have to set every file as executable if I wanted to put any programs on it, or I would have to not put any programs at all. Opening any file is painful if everything is chmod 777. | 20:26 |
| Jerrr | Whats the major difference between 32b/64b? | 20:26 |
| bn43 | but I love my ff - especially with the vimperator extension | 20:26 |
| Slart_ | someonetestingcr: but you can't be the first one that wants to change something in a live cd.. there has to be howtos and such | 20:26 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/apt/sources.list shows several lines such as '#deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/ddebs gutsy main universe'. What packages are stored in these 'people' repositories? | 20:26 |
| [TiZ] | Knysliux001: Oh! That's highly convenient. Plus, I am prepared to waste hours shrinking partitions. :) | 20:26 |
| someonetestingcr | well, crunchbang is based on ubuntu | 20:26 |
| someonetestingcr | so the iso is probably packed in the same way | 20:26 |
| bardyr | Jerrr, 64bit can take more then 4gb ram | 20:26 |
| Jerrr | 32b can only take 4? | 20:26 |
| majnoon | tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min | 20:26 |
| bardyr | Jerrr, yea | 20:26 |
| icewaterman | hi, does anyone know a tool for linux, that can make an avi file from a lots of pictures? | 20:27 |
| Jerrr | Ok, thanks! | 20:27 |
| bardyr | Jerrr, everything else is pretty much the same except some closed source apps dont support 64bit | 20:27 |
| Slart_ | bullgard4: hmm.. my sources list doesn't mention people.ubuntu.com.. some kind of mirror or 3rd party repository? | 20:27 |

| jim_p | how can i set a theme on a gtk1 app? aria in particular | 20:27 |
| Slart_ | icewaterman: try avidemux, I think it can do that | 20:27 |
| pyrokay | [TiZ], if you're prepared to wait, then you can start backing up your ntfs partition, delete it, convert to ext2 and transfer back. as to your roms, i'm not too sure. | 20:27 |
| Slart_ | icewaterman: I think mencoder or ffmpeg might be able to do too | 20:28 |
| Knysliux001 | [TiZ]: Still, asking a friend to borrow some big HDD for a day would save you a lot. ;) | 20:28 |
| filthpig | Hi, is it possible to make a computer boot from a usb flash device even if the bios doesn't list it as an option? It's a very old laptop :) | 20:28 |
| icewaterman | Slart_: i know avidemux, diddnt know it could do that. but i'll give it at try | 20:28 |
| [TiZ] | pyrokay: My roms are on Zangetsu too. Pretty much everything is there. | 20:28 |
| Slart_ | icewaterman: I might be wrong.. I thought I saw something about individual frames somewhere.. might have been the other way.. movie->images | 20:28 |
| [TiZ] | Knysliux001: I'd do that if I knew anyone who had one. :/ | 20:29 |
| rhousand | what startup scripts run in gnome but not failsafe-gnome? | 20:29 |

| Slart_ | Jerrr: yes | 20:30 |
| Jerrr | Slart_ ; Mind shooting me to a link ? | 20:30 |
| Jasen | I have a Vostro 1500 and before I begin using ubuntu I need to verify a few things :) | 20:30 |
| Jerrr | :D | 20:30 |
| Slart_ | Jerrr: the vnc client works the same on windows as in ubuntu.. | 20:30 |
| Slart_ | . | 20:30 |
| Jerrr | Ok | 20:30 |
| Slart_ | Jerrr: hmm.. let's see what ubottu have to say about it | 20:31 |
| Jasen | I once installed Ubuntu but gave up because I couldn't get my wireless to work | 20:31 |
| Slart_ | !vnc | Jerrr | 20:31 |
| ubottu | Jerrr: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 20:31 |
| bullgard4 | Slart_: On another Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer they do not appear either. I believe that they originate from third parties. System > Administration > Software Sources classifys them also as 'Third-Party Software'. This said, I would like what 3rd party in particular. Could the be Medibuntu backports? | 20:31 |
| Slart_ | bullgard4: its possible.. you have googled for the url, right | 20:31 |
| Jerrr | !Freenx | 20:31 |
| Slart_ | ? | 20:31 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 20:31 |
| Jerrr | Thanks. | 20:31 |
| Jasen | Where could I get ubuntu drivers for my Wireless, Graphics etc | 20:31 |
| shibbz | jasber, | 20:32 |
| shibbz | err | 20:32 |
| Knysliux001 | [TiZ]: if your fstab uses uuid than it will work OK using copy-paste method. Just don't forget to delete the old partition. | 20:32 |
| shibbz | Jasen, try going to www.google.com | 20:32 |
| shibbz | Jasen, I heard they have drivers | 20:32 |
| Slart_ | jason: that would depends entirely on what kind of hardware you have | 20:32 |
| Pici | shibbz: Please don't, thats not helpful. | 20:32 |
| shibbz | Fine :| | 20:32 |
| shibbz | party pooper. | 20:32 |
| Slart_ | jason: many drivers are available from the restricted drivers thingy | 20:33 |
| Jasen | restricted drivers? o.o what the heck is that | 20:33 |
| shibbz | anyways, google: "Your hwmodel + ubuntu version | 20:33 |
| shibbz | " | 20:33 |
| Pici | Jasen: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 20:33 |
| [TiZ] | Knysliux001, good point. | 20:33 |
| shibbz | ie; "Nvidia 8800GT ubuntu 8.10 drivers" | 20:33 |
| shibbz | that should lead you to the right place. | 20:33 |
| bullgard4 | Slart_: I am hurrying to do what you suggested. | 20:33 |
| Jasen | And you don't need an internet connection to install them? | 20:34 |
| bn43 | hi I have placed a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and made it executible - sudo wvdial brings up my modem but the script does not execute - I have to do it manually - what can I do to fix? | 20:34 |
| shibbz | you might | 20:34 |
| shibbz | depends which | 20:34 |
| shibbz | some run on scripts | 20:34 |
| Slart_ | Jasen: I mistyped your name there.. sorry about that.. restricted drivers manager is an app that downloads and installs drivers for all kinds of things.. nvidia graphics card, ati graphics cards, wireless cards etc etc | 20:34 |

| _dbd_l12 | Anyone knows if Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) will get PyQt 4.4 in the future (for the moment it's still 4.3). Is there an easy way to install pyqt 4.4 now (without breaking stuff) ? thanks in advance | 20:35 |
| Slart | shibbz: I'm pretty sure I would have noticed being married to this Irene.. I would have to say no | 20:35 |

| Slart | shibbz: just ask your question, like everyone else | 20:37 |
| phaidros | hi, what to do on non detected usb 2.0 stick (repeated ehci error messages) | 20:37 |
| shibbz | I installed nubuntu, but they removed the top bar and main menu... do you know of any way i can return that? | 20:37 |
| Slart | phaidros: try plugging it directly into the computer ie don't use an external hub.. apart from that I don't know.. usb stuff usually get detected properly | 20:38 |
| haole | hey there... i've just installed wine, but the fonts in it won't work... i can't see them, and sometimes they appear for a fraction of second and all messed up... what could be going on here? | 20:38 |

| Knysliux001 | [TiZ]: about playlists. To my mind. Almost any playlist format is plain text. All you have to do is simply replace all /media/Zangetsu to /home/tiz/Music/ :) | 20:38 |

| marabout | anyone can help me I am trying to get "GSynaptics" to initialize | 20:39 |
| [TiZ] | Knysliux001: Right. sed would do that just fine. I use sed in a shell script for synching those playlists to my rockbox'd iPod. Works great. The thing is just finding those files. | 20:39 |

| Bllasae | Alright, sorry about that | 20:40 |
| Pici | Bllasae: How did you install it? | 20:40 |
| Slart | Scunizi, marabout ahhh.. sorry sorry sorry.. I confuse those two all the time.. | 20:40 |

| Bllasae | Pici: I didn't | 20:40 |
| Jasen | Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card | 20:40 |
| Bllasae | It just sitting there on my desktop | 20:41 |
| marabout | Slart: I went to configure my trackpad and the "GSynaptics couldn't initialize" window popped up. | 20:41 |
| Jasen | But the tutorial on the net says that you need the internet to do this :( | 20:41 |
| Jasen | And I don't see how you can do it because I don't have internet! *sigh* | 20:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bllasae, thunderbird is in our supported repos.. sudo apt-get install thunderbird will do it | 20:41 |

| ubottu | Bllasae: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:41 |
| Pici | Bllasae: Please use the software repositories via either Applications>Add/remove or System>Administration to install software. There should be little reason to download software from 3rd party locations. | 20:41 |

| harrison | help, ive changed my xorgconf file 4 times and still cant get the resolution to change | 20:42 |
| harrison | can anyone help me with resolution issues? | 20:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bllasae, And we are telling you the easy correct way to do it | 20:42 |
| shibbz | Jasen, it's pretty easy to install, as slart already told you about the drivers that come with ubuntu. are you using 8.10 or 8.4? | 20:42 |
| Scunizi | harrison: did you just install ? | 20:42 |
| harrison | yes | 20:42 |
| Jasen | 8.10 | 20:42 |
| harrison | scunizi...but then i changed to a larger monitor after the install | 20:43 |
| Pici | Bllasae: To properly install it, use Applications>Add/Remove, do not download it from a 3rd party location. We cannot support doing stuff that way and you will not get security fixes and updates from us. | 20:43 |
| lifenova | Bllasae: In Ubuntu, it is easier to install software that's in our repositories, not from the software vendor's website. | 20:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bllasae, click on applications, accessories terminal and type. sudo apt-get install thunderbird | 20:43 |
| NixerX | Anyone tell me how to globally change the icon for MP3 files to a custom icon? | 20:43 |
| Slart | Bllasae: things work a little differently on linux compared to windows.. always use the "Add/remove" thingy or system, administration, synaptic package manager to install software | 20:43 |
| Scunizi | harrison: was it working on the previous monitor? | 20:43 |
| harrison | scunizi....yes | 20:43 |
| shibbz | Jasen, I'm using the same card right now with 8.10... | 20:43 |
| Bllasae | Slart: Ah, you can tell I'm new from Windows lol | 20:43 |
| marabout | Scunizi: the error message says that I have to set 'SMHConfig 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config" how do I do that? | 20:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bllasae, np.. | 20:43 |
| Jasen | So it should auto detect it? o.o | 20:43 |
| Scunizi | harrison: had you enabled the restricted drivers for your card? and what kind of card do you have.? | 20:43 |
| shibbz | Jasen, its detected automaticly | 20:43 |
| Slart | Bllasae: you *can* download stuff but it will only give you problems you don't want =) | 20:43 |
| Pici | Bllasae: We were all new once (or at least most of us) :) | 20:43 |
| Jasen | Oh great! | 20:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | 20:44 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 20:44 |
| energY | I ugraded to 8.10. Why doesn't it show me a guest user, and a encrypted folder for my user? | 20:44 |
| teniser | Where I can find a deeb installation of Galaxium messenger? | 20:45 |
| pyrokay | [TiZ], alright, but i'm going soon, so these nice people will have to help out | 20:45 |
| [TiZ] | I'm sure it'll all be good. ;) | 20:45 |
| shamus | what do i search for in synaptic if I wanted to remove older versions of the kernel? | 20:45 |
| Lokiase | Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the unluck keyring popup????????????????????????????????? | 20:45 |
| Slart | Bllasae: so, go to the system menu, administration, synaptic package manager.. it will ask you for your password.. then you'll get a big list of what is available..s earch for thunderbird | 20:45 |
| [TiZ] | Brb. | 20:45 |
| receptor | is it possible to install 8.10 to usb? i don't mean setting up a live cd with persistent changes but a proper installation like on hd | 20:45 |
| NixerX | <teniser> if you can find an RPM version of it you can use the ailien package to convert it to a .deb | 20:45 |
| pyrokay | Lokiase, be patient please | 20:45 |
| Scunizi | harrison: arg.. look in System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers and see if there is a driver listed there that you can activate.. if there is activate it and then restart.. sometimes you can't just restart the gui but need to do the whole machine. | 20:45 |
| phaidros | hi, what to do on non detected usb 2.0 stick (repeated ehci error messages: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4) | 20:46 |
| harrison | Scunizi...ok...trying...brb | 20:46 |
| teniser | @nixerX, where I can download Alien? In Synaptic? | 20:46 |
| Slart | Bllasae: then click on the little square to the left of the name.. select "install" from the menu, then click the Apply button.. tadaaaa. it's done | 20:46 |
| Hikeractive | !alien | 20:46 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 20:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | teniser, Not a good idea..using alien to convert debs | 20:46 |
| NixerX | <teniser> yea alien should be there | 20:46 |
| teniser | is Alien easy for use? | 20:46 |
| filthpig | what system requirements does xubuntu have? | 20:47 |
| NixerX | <teniser> yup | 20:47 |
| Scunizi | teniser: what are you trying to use alien on? | 20:47 |
| Bllasae | alright | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | teniser, It is a bad idea .. unsupported and you wont get much help if you use it and trash your system | 20:47 |
| pyrokay | filthpig, it can install on 192mb ram but it is a good idea to have at least 256. | 20:47 |
| shibbz | teniser, alien is pretty straight forward but can mess up your system. | 20:47 |
| rohil | Hi All. Just installed 8.10 dual boot with Vista on my vaio. I had gone ahead with guided install but it didn't ask me to create swap partition anywhere. Now, while installing some packages , I am getting errors related to man-db like "No space left on device" | 20:47 |
| teniser | ok, thanks | 20:47 |
| rohil | Any help would be appreciated | 20:47 |
| nickrud_ | how do you handle rpms in a deb system? with tongs | 20:47 |
| Bllasae | Apparently, it's already there. Is there a hard drive somewhere that I can see? Also, how can I put things on the desktop and the top bar next to the Firefox icon? | 20:48 |
| slatercomp | Hi for all. | 20:48 |
| Slart | !requirements | filthpig | 20:48 |
| ubottu | filthpig: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hey nickrud_ Agreed | 20:48 |
| rgotten | i am getting error 25 on boot, nybody know what this is? | 20:48 |
| Gnea | rohil: that has nothing to do with swap, just no space left on your system - how much did you give it? | 20:48 |
| glax | Hi guys, I want to run a script every time the computer reboot with cron as user root. | 20:48 |
| glax | can that be done | 20:48 |
| knubbe | where do i configure my touchpad/mousepad now when ksynaptics has been removed from the repository? | 20:48 |
| Slart | rgotten: grub error 25? | 20:48 |
| Scunizi | teniser: there's probably a version of the program available for ubuntu.. what's the program you're trying to load? | 20:48 |
| jrib | glax: why? | 20:48 |
| energY | ubuntu-desktop, how big? | 20:48 |
| bn43 | hi all - dunno if u were following my previous question but found the solution - the script file was illegally named | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !touchpad | 20:49 |
| ubottu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 20:49 |
| rohil | !Gnea I gave it 8 gb with windows partition having 102 gb | 20:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:49 |
| pyrokay | bn43, thanks for that | 20:49 |
| glax | jrib, I want to open a screen every time the computer reboot and start running some application on it | 20:49 |
| pyrokay | good to know :) | 20:49 |
| Gnea | rohil: sounds like you didn't give it enough | 20:49 |
| teniser | @Scunizi, i want GALAXIUM MESSENGER, but on Google webiste there is only RMM instalation, i need deb, because i don't know how to use RPM | 20:49 |
| Slart | glax: why use cron if it's going to run when the computer boots? | 20:49 |
| Mrdudecool | Hi, I have tried to install this now and it just stays on the rocky sort of looking page and doesn't bring any windows up. Any help? | 20:49 |
| comicinker | where are development documentation files are installed? in particular, I search the gtk+ docs displayed in yelp | 20:49 |
| glax | crontab | 20:49 |
| glax | @reboot | 20:50 |
| Gnea | teniser: you can try to use alien to conver teh RPM to DEB | 20:50 |
| shibbz | did you install grub in the mbr? | 20:50 |
| fyrmedic | pyrokay: I just changed iso's and the 8.04 has an integrity check that the 8.10 that I had previously didn't. I think I had a corrupted image. | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rohil, run livecd and delete /var/cache/apt/archives contents to make room | 20:50 |
| pyrokay | fyrmedic, excellent. | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gnea, Has been told that and that it is not a good idea | 20:50 |
| NixerX | Can anyone tell me how to globally change the icon for MP3 files to a custom icon? | 20:50 |
| bn43 | it had a period in it | 20:50 |
| TheFunkbomb | linux isn't really heavy on graphics cards, is it? | 20:50 |
| pyrokay | fyrmedic, also, having access to wired ethernet makes thiing a lot easier :) | 20:50 |
| Mrdudecool | Hi, I have tried to install this now and it just stays on the rocky sort of looking page and doesn't bring any windows up. Any help? | 20:50 |
| bn43 | cheers | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheFunkbomb, Actually yes | 20:51 |
| jrib | NixerX: you probably need to edit the icon theme (ie create your own based on the one you use now) | 20:51 |
| knubbe | Jack_Sparrow: thank you | 20:51 |
| fyrmedic | pyrokay: doing the install process now. When you installed to your netbook how did you partition it? And I have net access. | 20:51 |
| guntbert | !repeat | Mrdudecool | 20:51 |
| ubottu | Mrdudecool: 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 | 20:51 |
| TheFunkbomb | Jack_Sparrow, really? I have a 64mb GPU and it's fine | 20:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheFunkbomb, compiz and all of that do add up | 20:51 |
| jrib | glax: sure you can do that, but you should probably explain exactly what you are doing to make sure there isn't a better way | 20:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | knubbe, np | 20:51 |
| Mrdudecool | Sorry guntbert | 20:51 |
| Slart | Mrdudecool: "rocky sort of looking page"?? "install this", what is "this" ? what are you doing? please explain more | 20:51 |
| Bllasae | Apparently, it's already there. Is there a hard drive somewhere that I can see? Also, how can I put things on the desktop and the top bar next to the Firefox icon? | 20:51 |
| eseven73 | TheFunkbomb: it depends on the window manager that you have | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | teniser: if you need access to msn messenger there are other programs that will do that nicely. aMSN, emesen, Pidgin and Wengophone.. and they are all in the Repo's | 20:52 |
| TheFunkbomb | I just have the basic window manager | 20:52 |
| pyrokay | fyrmedic, personally i resized acers partition to 100Gb, gave ubuntu 15, and set acer's 100gb as /home/. | 20:52 |
| Mrdudecool | Basically, the first page opens and I enter on the Install Ubuntu link and then the next page comes on but nothing else happens. | 20:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheFunkbomb, gmone, ked or ? | 20:52 |
| Gnea | teniser: is there something that galaxium can do that pidgin cannot? | 20:52 |
| eseven73 | TheFunkbomb: something lightweight like fluxbox would be very easy on the graphics card | 20:52 |
| TheFunkbomb | gnome | 20:52 |
| glax | jrib, Every time the computer reboot I want to open a screen -S name and run a python script on it | 20:52 |
| jrib | comicinker: dpkg -L PACKAGE will tell you the files a package has installed, but why do you need to know this? | 20:52 |
| bigzter | hi there...can someone help me here.... I'm trying to join a wireless network in my school, but it seems like I can't surf the internet although I am connected to the network... | 20:52 |
| jrib | glax: I guess that's ok, but why as root? | 20:52 |
| Scunizi | teniser: aMSN handles video too.. not sure about emmessenn | 20:52 |
| Bllasae | Also, should I download ALL the security updates? | 20:52 |
| filthpig | Slart: Thanks. I'm gonna install on a system with effectively 222 mb ram, will xfce be okay, or should I go for an even lighter desktop? | 20:53 |
| comicinker | jrib: yelp has no print dialog | 20:53 |
| Gnea | bigzter: did you sign up for an account? | 20:53 |
| TheFunkbomb | I just have the standard version of Ubuntu 8.10 | 20:53 |
| fyrmedic | pyrokay: oh ok, I am using the ssd model. I suppose I will give ubuntu 8 on the fixed drive and /home on the removable drive. | 20:53 |
| pyrokay | bigzter, do an ipconfig /all on your local windows pc, and copy that into your wifi connection preferences. | 20:53 |
| bullgard4 | Slart: What are 'ddebs' as in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html? | 20:53 |
| jrib | comicinker: file -> print this page | 20:53 |
| pyrokay | fyrmedic, ok. | 20:53 |
| Pici | TheFunkbomb: If you are planning to enable desktop effects, you'll need something that supports 3d accelleration, otherwise, you should be fine. | 20:53 |
| bigzter | okay pyrokay, try that | 20:53 |
| Slart | filthpig: hmm.. 222 Mb is a bit on the smallish side.. but it will run xfce.. you won't be able to run openoffice, gimp, firefox etc at the same time though | 20:53 |
| teniser | @Gnea, i don't like Pidgin | 20:53 |
| MoronCounty | server boston.ma.us.financialchat.com 7000 | 20:53 |
| comicinker | jrib: sorry, I ment devhelp | 20:54 |
| glax | jrgp, need it so I can listen on certain ports and make some configurations on the system | 20:54 |
| teniser | because i used Windows Live Messenger a couple of year | 20:54 |
| teniser | and i want a messenger as WLM | 20:54 |
| glax | jrgp, can @reboot specify that it want to be as root | 20:54 |
| shibbz | teniser, there is a version for linux that looks just like WLM | 20:54 |
| shibbz | teniser, hang on one moment ill find it | 20:54 |
| shibbz | but you have to have tcl installed | 20:54 |
| Mrdudecool | I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop and I load from the boot disk and then select to install. The background of the next page loads however no boxes open. Can anyone help? | 20:55 |
| Slart | bullgard4: hmm.. let me guess.. from the page you linked " .ddebs (debug symbol debs) ".. I guessing ddebs are debug symbol debs | 20:55 |
| jrib | glax: it will run as the user whose crontab you use | 20:55 |
| Marton | hy all | 20:55 |
| Gnea | teniser: well, we offer support for pidgin, as it supports MSN | 20:55 |
| teniser | ok shibbz, tnx | 20:55 |
| Slart | !boot | 20:55 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 20:55 |
| glax | ok | 20:55 |
| glax | thanks | 20:55 |
| MagicFab | what's the general opinion about using ubuntu-tweak.com ? | 20:55 |
| rohil | is there any way to increase the size of my linux partition ? | 20:55 |
| bullgard4 | Slart: Aha! Thank you. | 20:55 |
| jrib | comicinker: might be easier to just go to library.gnome.org and print from there | 20:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rohil, livecd can do that | 20:55 |
| Gnea | teniser: have you tried kopete? | 20:55 |
| Slart | rohil: I think you can grow the ubuntu partition, yes.. if there is room for it to grow, that is | 20:56 |
| filthpig | Slart: okay, I'll make sure to have a nice swap partition ready, then ;) I guess the comp will be upgraded with more mem later on, but right now I just want to get it running. It's crazy that this computer actually runs windows xp.. | 20:56 |
| guntbert | Mrdudecool: first question with such problems: did you md5sum check your iso file before burning it? | 20:56 |
| teniser | @Gnea, yes, but I don't like it | 20:56 |
| teniser | It works slowly | 20:56 |
| differentreality | hi, could someone tell me how I can set a wpa2 personal key to a wireless connection ? | 20:56 |
| teniser | for m | 20:56 |
| teniser | *for me | 20:56 |
| FloodBot2 | teniser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:56 |
| rohil | thanks jack, clearing the cache only freed 294 mb .. i will try increasing the partition to 16 gb from 8 and see if it works. thanks. | 20:56 |
| Decepticon | how do i unlink this? i got everything in /home/another_user/some_files/* (dirs under this path), showing up in /home/my_user/my_dir/* (where * represeents the dirs in /home/another_user/some_files/) ... how do i stop this linking | 20:56 |
| comicinker | jrib: ah, all there: /usr/share/gtk-doc ;) that's more easy | 20:56 |
| shibbz | teniser, visit http://www.amsn-project.net/ and follow their tutorials. it's a great program, but don't expect it to work with other languages but english | 20:56 |
| Mrdudecool | guntbert, the disc is correctly burnt. That was my first problem so I can click install. | 20:56 |
| altsps | Hola, alguien habla español por aqui???????????????? | 20:56 |
| Pici | !es | altsps | 20:56 |
| ubottu | altsps: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 20:56 |
| * Gnea notes that the last release of galaxium was July, 2008 | 20:57 | |
| Slart | filthpig: hehe.. some swap might be needed yes.. you might want to shut down any services you don't need too.. just to make things a bit lighter | 20:57 |
| Scunizi | teniser: shibbz I mentioned that one. it's in the repos | 20:57 |
| teniser | @shibbz, I use emesene now :) | 20:57 |
| fubuntu | Hello friends! Im trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a 600mhz Acer computer but i keep getting error messages like Buffer I/O error on device sr0 | 20:57 |
| shibbz | thats amsn | 20:57 |
| Jasen | Ok! Not good.....I just tried to install ubuntu on the older computer we have in our house and it started smoking......That can't be good o.o | 20:57 |
| Scunizi | !es | altsps | 20:57 |
| Gnea | teniser: I don't understand why you would want to use software that isn't actively updated anymore... | 20:57 |
| Slart | fubuntu: have you checked the CD ? there is an option when you boot to do that | 20:57 |
| shibbz | Scunizi, sorry mate. | 20:57 |
| jrib | Decepticon: you need to run ls -l on the paths you are asking about and pastebin the results | 20:57 |
| fubuntu | Slart: yes because it works on all my other computers | 20:57 |
| guntbert | Mrdudecool: its not a question of correct burning but of integrity of the iso file | 20:57 |
| teniser | @Gnea, but if u understand me, i want a messenger which is stylish | 20:57 |
| Mrdudecool | Oh sorry. I am not sure then | 20:58 |
| Decepticon | jrib: its kind of private | 20:58 |
| Slart | fubuntu: then the cd drive might be dying on you.. or it could just be some driver issue | 20:58 |
| fyrmedic | Jasen: Smoke coming out of your machine of most types IS generally a bad sign :) | 20:58 |
| Decepticon | jrib: i would do it in private | 20:58 |
| Scunizi | shibbz: no biggie.. you came into it late.. he might just be .being pain | 20:58 |
| jrib | Decepticon: change the names then. Or that | 20:58 |
| Decepticon | jrib: is that ok | 20:58 |
| jrib | Decepticon: yes | 20:58 |
| Gnea | teniser: so change the gtk style for pidgin | 20:58 |
| Decepticon | jrib: ok one sec | 20:58 |
| guntbert | !md5sum | Mrdudecool | 20:58 |
| ubottu | Mrdudecool: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 20:58 |
| Jasen | fyrmedic: I might have to get it looked at then :P | 20:58 |
| Mrdudecool | Thanks ubottu | 20:58 |
| fubuntu | Slart: ok.. well I cant boot from the live cd because of this :/ | 20:58 |
| slashzul | I installed syslog-ng and cant setit up to allow other clients to dump into my syslog server. | 20:58 |
| fubuntu | Slart: this computer has windows 98 on it | 20:59 |
| teniser | @Gnea, Pidgin allows to change a theme? | 20:59 |
| fyrmedic | Jasen: You should do that, or recycle it. | 20:59 |
| fubuntu | Slart: and I would like to change that to ubuntu' | 20:59 |
| Gnea | slashzul: just edit the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file, there's an option there, it's clearly defined in the comments | 20:59 |
| Slart | fubuntu: mm.. you don't happen to have an external cd drive you can use? | 20:59 |
| fubuntu | Slart: yes an usb | 20:59 |
| Gnea | teniser: yes, it uses GTK | 20:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fubuntu, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--".. | 20:59 |
| Slart | fubuntu: you might be able to use an regular usb stick for the install too.. type !usb here in the channel for more info about that | 21:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fubuntu, sorry.. usb .. nevermind | 21:00 |
| Bllasae | Also, should I download ALL the security updates? | 21:00 |
| vlt | Hello. Everytime I log in, the alsamixer restores old settings. Where are the values stored? | 21:00 |
| Gnea | teniser: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 | 21:00 |
| fubuntu | Jack_Sparrow: np :) | 21:00 |
| Scunizi | Bllasae: you should do all the updates | 21:00 |
| allsystemsarego | screenshot question: how do I take a screenshot of the context menu after I right-clicked on a file in Nautilus? (PrntScrn doesn't work) | 21:00 |
| sarmisak | Bllasae, especially security updates | 21:00 |
| Mrdudecool | Gah, im confused | 21:01 |
| Slart | allsystemsarego: I think there is a screenshot tool in accessories | 21:01 |
| fubuntu | Slart: Do u think I should try to install Ubuntu from an non Live cd? | 21:01 |
| guntbert | Mrdudecool: about what? | 21:01 |
| teniser | @Gnea, I want clear look like this: http://thecamels.org/wp-content/uploads/galaxiumcontactlist1.png | 21:01 |
| Slart | allsystemsarego: it's called "Take screenshot" in my menu | 21:01 |
| Slart | fubuntu: a non-live cd? you mean the alternate cd? | 21:01 |
| fubuntu | Slart: yes | 21:01 |
| Slart | fubuntu: you can try.. it might work | 21:01 |
| allsystemsarego | Slart, ok, and set a delay? | 21:01 |
| Mrdudecool | I think I need to download that file and check the MD5SUM | 21:01 |

| a_programmaer | I am running ubuntu 8.10 ,My xorg doesnt give full resolution,Gigabyte eg41mf-s2h Main board with intel g41 chipset ..any idfeas? | 21:03 |
| Gnea | teniser: no, I fell off of the earth. :p | 21:03 |
| a_programmaer | (ideas | 21:03 |
| teniser | lool , you don't answer me... | 21:03 |
| fubuntu | Slart: Im gonna do that now :P | 21:03 |
| Gnea | !patience | teniser | 21:03 |
| ubottu | teniser: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:03 |
| guntbert | Mrdudecool: but I suppose you have that file already (you used it to burn the CD :)), just check that file for a start | 21:03 |
| fubuntu | Slart: But i have a strange feeling it will fail on me< | 21:04 |
| Decepticon | jrib: not sure if you can see my pm query | 21:04 |
| Slart | allsystemsarego: yes.. set a delay, bring up the menu, then wait | 21:04 |
| slashzul | Gnea: ps shows syslog running, but no netstat -a shows its not working | 21:04 |
| fubuntu | Slart: yeah it does not work :( | 21:04 |
| Gnea | slashzul: make sure you restart it after you make the edit: sudo /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart | 21:04 |
| allsystemsarego | Slart, thanks, that works now | 21:04 |
| Slart | fubuntu: try the external usb? | 21:04 |
| Mrdudecool | guntbert: So open the files and check if that MD5SUM file is there? | 21:04 |
| fubuntu | Slart: almost the same error | 21:04 |
| energY | What is the name of the new webmin? | 21:04 |
| Gnea | teniser: I don't see much difference between what that screenshot shows and what pidgin does | 21:04 |

| bill__ | Any recommendations on getting a usb video capture device based on the em2861 chip to work under Intrepid? It loads the em28xx module when I plug the device in, and /dev/video0 shows up, but when I try "mplayer tv://" I get a solid blue video window. I'm feeding it composite from a security camera. The xv and x11 command line switches don't help. | 21:31 |

| audrey | nick audrey_b | 22:07 |
| Lokiase | tekteen_: the popup of the keyring at ubuntu startup to "activate" my wifi, i dont want it | 22:07 |

| Slart | tuxedup: there is "wipe" | 22:08 |
| Lokiase | tekteen_: network manager MUST connect automaticly, thats correct, but he at startup the popup of all stored pasw. shows up, dont want that :( | 22:09 |
| Slart | tuxedup: but it takes quite a while to wipe an entire drive.. be prepared to let it run for a day or two | 22:09 |
| Slart | !info wipe | tuxedup | 22:09 |

| test34 | Lokiase, google for: keychain .bashrc | 22:10 |
| tekteen | Lokiase: I do not use gnome, but you could see if you can not have a password on the keychain program | 22:10 |
| Slart | tuxedup: but unless you've stored secret nuclear weapon designs or such on it I would say a single run of writing zeroes to it will suffice | 22:10 |
| Lokiase | test34: having probs with my browers, can you help pls? | 22:10 |

| Slart | tuxedup: you can run wipe from a live cd.. I even think there is a wipe cd that boots and then wipes everything it can get it's hands on.. | 22:11 |
| slowpc | packetloss, apt-get remove glibc | 22:12 |
| comicinker | packetloss: what's that in canadian dollar? | 22:12 |
| Alan | packetloss, why is glib 2.18.0 such a big problem for you? | 22:12 |
| tuxedup | Slart: when you say it is a long process, exactly how long would you say for a 4gb SSD? | 22:12 |
| AnRkey | how do i turn drop shadows off for my windows in gnome? I am using 8.04.1 | 22:12 |
| Lokiase | tekteen: dont understand that | 22:12 |
| tuxedup | Slart 5+ hours? | 22:12 |
| x-kent | can that be that 2gb of ram + 2.5gb of swap given to 32bit machine will drive it crazy ? my current df status says I have more free space than total... and I have many other glitches. anyone ?? | 22:12 |
| deany | AnRkey: turn compiz off... | 22:13 |
| packetloss | alan; i have also 2.18.other-than-0 | 22:13 |
| tekteen | Lokiase: see if you can set the password on keychain to null | 22:13 |
| packetloss | apt-get remove glibc no-go | 22:13 |
| Alan | packetloss, right, but is it actually causing a problem being there? | 22:13 |
| tekteen | Lokiase: In other words, get rid of it | 22:13 |
| AnRkey | deany, brilliant! but no... i would like to keep compiz, i just cant seem to disable drop shadows for some reason. Any ideas? | 22:13 |
| Slart | tuxedup: nah.. but a couple of hours.. .. but wiping an SSD isn't really useful if I understand things correctly.. since you can't be sure you're zeroing the sectors you think you're writing to, it does all kinds of load balancing and stuff internally | 22:13 |
| packetloss | alan it has to be removed | 22:13 |
| packetloss | trust me | 22:14 |
| Lokiase | tekteen: when ubuntu starts up, the "unlock keyring" appears, and I have to give my pass, to make wifi work. i want to get rid of it, so wifi starts without the keyringpopup.... | 22:14 |
| tekteen | I know | 22:14 |
| Lokiase | tekteen: so please assist me :$ | 22:14 |
| tuxedup | Slart: what about if I used Dban to write random data to the drive, as I udnerstand it some of the options just fill the drive with random data from start to finnish and do this a few times, do you think this would be better? | 22:15 |
| Slart | AnRkey: "can't" as in "I can't find out how to do it"? or "I know how to do it but they just won't go away" ? | 22:15 |

| rdw200169 | Retraktor: so, what is your problem exactly? | 22:26 |

| ubottu | omshanti, please see my private message | 22:27 |
| alex___ | DasEI: 8.10 latest? | 22:27 |
| omshanti | i have the codecs | 22:27 |
| DasEI | alex___: you can choose only the basics from it, no x and so on at all, but still can apt-get everything later | 22:27 |
| omshanti | but it still won't play :/ | 22:27 |
| DasEI | alex___: yes | 22:27 |
| alex___ | DasEI: that's how i've always installed linux | 22:27 |
| alex___ | DasEI: so that works, first time with ubuntu | 22:28 |
| Retraktor | Dutch_Gecko: It ranges from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.254 | 22:28 |

| ScottG | I'm having trouble connecting to my colleges wifi while im using ubuntu on my laptop. I went there and the tech support guy gave me the XP guide to use since it explains what kind of authentication and encription to use. So I set up a custom network but it still won't connect. The only thing I see that the guide explains to use but I can't designate is that it asks to use AES for the Data Encription. There isn't anywhere to designate the type of encription | 22:51 |

| [TiZ] | Hi. I just tried to copy an ext3 partition with GParted. All seemed to go well, until it was nearly finished with the first one. I want to make it bigger than the original, so it tried to do resize2fs /dev/sda1. It errored out and told me to do e2fsck -f /dev/sda1. I did so, with sudo. But I still can't resize2fs it. It continues to give the same message. What's going on? How do I fix it? | 22:52 |
| Adam_ | ingwa1: try downloading the drivers directly from ATI and installing them manually | 22:52 |

| PSiL0 | The answer is in ubuntuforums, but it is down and google cache only brings up the thread that references the one I want | 22:55 |

| ghost3 | comicinker its that or direct tv for internet where I live. no cable or dsl here yet. | 22:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cjvann, yes | 22:55 |
| JohnAnderson | hello everyone, how do you remove unneeded folders from the Applications menu on the taskbar? | 22:56 |
| Adam_ | ingwa1: bad news, looking at the binary ati doc, it appears only the 9500 or higher is supported | 22:56 |
| cjvann | So just go through the steps and it will be ready when its done | 22:56 |
| BillieTheKiddie | hi, I have no sound with 8.10, can anyone help? I've checked the mixer and it's not muted or smth | 22:56 |
| zamba | is it possible to point the special Documents folder to a network share? | 22:56 |
| z0man | Just a thought cjvann, might be wise to defrag your windows partition. | 22:56 |
| cjvann | gotcha | 22:56 |
| Adam_ | ingwa1: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 22:56 |
| ingwa1 | Adam_ owch :( I just bought this...dropped $80 for it :(( | 22:57 |
| comicinker | ghost3: you should call them and demand for ubuntu/linux support | 22:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cjvann, defrag twice and make sure you have plenty of free space after the resize | 22:57 |
| laggerbear | any idea what to do for : Cannot Unmount volume .You r not privileged to unmount the volume . Detail:only root can unmount /dev/scd0 from /media/cdrom0 | 22:57 |
| RanyAlbeg | Slart: no . when i do view->view web page source it prints the current html source. when i do wget "address" it generates a new html file contains different thing. | 22:57 |
| RanyAlbeg | also html but different | 22:57 |
| Adam_ | ingwa1: it says you already have working 2D, and may be able to have accelerated 3D | 22:57 |
| ghost3 | comicinker ill try that and see what I can get. | 22:57 |
| cjvann | I gots 150GB free | 22:57 |
| z0man | OR cjvann | 22:57 |
| z0man | U could start splitting your partition up manually | 22:57 |
| cjvann | I going to try the 64bit version | 22:58 |
| BillieTheKiddie | hi, I have no sound with 8.10, can anyone help? I've checked the mixer and it's not muted or smth | 22:58 |

| ingwa1 | Adam_ I'll read through the page you gave me...thanks :) I'll let you know what happens. | 22:58 |
| z0man | 64bit :/ it can get by some things, yet I feel they are slow there. | 22:58 |
| comicinker | laggerbear: are you working on a terminal or in the gui? | 22:58 |
| eseven73 | z0man: or U could just type out the rest of the two letters to spell 'you' ;) | 22:58 |

| cjvann | zoman, so I need to defrag twice and then load Ubuntu and it will partition and move windows data over and load Ubuntu on the other half? | 22:59 |
| Boxxy | it's really hard !! | 22:59 |
| z0man | Use "GPart" | 22:59 |
| ScottG | I'm having trouble connecting to my colleges wifi while im using ubuntu on my laptop. I went there and the tech support guy gave me the XP guide to use since it explains what kind of authentication and encription to use. So I set up a custom network but it still won't connect. The only thing I see that the guide explains to use but I can't designate is that it asks to use AES for the Data Encription. There isn't anywhere to designate the type of encription | 22:59 |
| ScottG | in the wireless configureation though. Any help? | 22:59 |
| Boxxy | my mp3's don't work | 22:59 |

| R0b0t1 | For some reason my Ubuntu had to start in limited graphics mode, while it had usually worked normally. The only thing I might connect this to is my installation of a MacBook fix to fix the Fn key (I misread the article, I am actually on an iMac, there is no Fn key). Anyhow, possible fixes? | 23:00 |
| DasEI | cjvann: yes | 23:00 |
| cjvann | cool | 23:00 |
| z0man | lol on the amount of "yeses" :P | 23:00 |
| Slart | good evening, ikonia | 23:00 |
| ScottG | ikonia: I originally was able to connect to the schools wireless network when I had Vista installed on my laptop and I followed the instructions | 23:00 |
| ikonia | ScottG: ye, but your not using vista now, | 23:01 |
| ScottG | Adam_: Yes I do see them listed. | 23:01 |
| cjvann | So you guys are 100% sure that Ubuntu will partition my drive with windows already on it and load to the other half without losing my windows? | 23:01 |
| Nomexous | R0b0t1: Did you try the xfix option when you boot in recovery mode? | 23:01 |
| ScottG | ikonia: Well I know my card supports AES | 23:01 |
| ikonia | ScottG: as I said the linux module for your card may not support the encyption level you need, that does happen | 23:01 |
| ikonia | ScottG: I didn't say your card | 23:01 |
| ikonia | ScottG: I said your linux "driver" for it | 23:01 |
| ScottG | ikonia: Is there a way I can check into this? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | ScottG: is it a closed source card, | 23:01 |
| RanyAlbeg | Slart: i forgot to bound the address with " ". | 23:01 |
| RanyAlbeg | Slart: thanks alot | 23:01 |
| R0b0t1 | Nomexous: There was no recovery mode... There was this thing that let me view logs, etc, but I must've missed the option if that was it. | 23:01 |
| R0b0t1 | t | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cjvann, There are never guarantees while working at the partition level.. Have a backup of anything you cant afford to lose | 23:01 |
| ScottG | ikonia: Not sure. Its a dell card. Let me paste the type of card I have. | 23:01 |
| Slart | cjvann: noone can be 100% sure.. I've seen it not work on rare occasions.. but I would use it on my own computer.. always do backups first | 23:02 |
| ikonia | ScottG: no such thing as a dell card, it must have a chipset on it, dell useually uses broadcom as I recall | 23:02 |
| Slart | RanyAlbeg: you're welcome | 23:02 |
| Nomexous | R0b0t1: No, I mean the recovery mode in grub | 23:02 |
| protocol1 | there a quick way to screen capture in ubuntu | 23:02 |
| ScottG | ikonia: Dell 1510 Wireless-N Card | 23:02 |
| protocol1 | ? | 23:02 |
| z0man | IF you want to be safe cjvann | 23:02 |
| ikonia | ScottG: need to check the chipset on that card | 23:02 |
| R0b0t1 | Er, no, I was never given an option to go there. | 23:02 |
| Adam_ | cjvann: i had to use the gparted live cd to 'peel' off a chunk of my mounted partition to install win7 | 23:02 |
| ScottG | ikonia: Yea it is broadcom im fairly sure. | 23:02 |
| Nomexous | R0b0t1: GRUB presents a list of kernels to boot from | 23:02 |
| Slart | protocol1: just a screenshot? | 23:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | protocol1, It is already installed under accessories | 23:02 |
| z0man | if you want to play it safe cjvann, use GParted | 23:02 |
| R0b0t1 | Nomexous: Yes....? | 23:02 |
| protocol1 | im using xubuntu actually | 23:02 |
| Nomexous | R0b0t1: There's one that says "(recovery mode)" at the end | 23:02 |
| R0b0t1 | I see. | 23:03 |
| ikonia | ScottG: ok, I have seen the problem with some broadcom cards due to them being closed source, not all the functionality works | 23:03 |
| cjvann | is it free too? | 23:03 |
| z0man | yup | 23:03 |
| ikonia | ScottG: that doesn't mean your card won't work, just some cards | 23:03 |
| z0man | burnable to bootable cd too | 23:03 |
| Nomexous | R0b0t1: Once you boot up, it should ask what you want to do | 23:03 |
| z0man | http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ | 23:03 |
| Slart | protocol1: check the accessories menu.. isn't there a "Take screenshot" thingy there? | 23:03 |
| Adam_ | cjvann: i agree with z0man, burn the gparted iso to a cd and use that | 23:03 |
| ScottG | ikonia: So what should I do? | 23:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cjvann, I'll third that response gparted livecd | 23:03 |
| ikonia | ScottG: maybe log a request on launchpad to see if the package maintainers know if this card is fully supported | 23:04 |
| Adam_ | i have heard that gparted does not play well with NTFS though | 23:04 |
| Adam_ | but never expierenced it in person | 23:04 |
| cjvann | gotcha. I'll backup my data, then run gparted and then load Ubuntu | 23:04 |

| portz | Hey guys, what's going on? I'm having a bit of trouble with my install of ubuntu on a new system. | 23:14 |
| odoylerules | 2007 | 23:14 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: hi there.. nice to c u agayn.. u there ? | 23:14 |
| rolle | portz: what's the problem? | 23:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | portz, Whats the issue | 23:14 |
| eseven73 | !u | dreamy | 23:14 |
| ubottu | dreamy: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 23:14 |
| workingchair | Jack_Sparrow, I have registered that nickname. What does GHOST do? it just lets the nickserv know that I AM that screenname? | 23:14 |
| Adam_ | you must be adamcrume | 23:14 |
| odoylerules | seems nobody fixed it since there are posts there from 2008 | 23:14 |
| z0man | cjvann :) | 23:14 |
| BotLobsta | so i just reinstalled ubuntu and now im getting this weird error message saying '/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied'. Any ideas as to what it is? | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamy: aye | 23:14 |
| rolle | and are you trying to dual boot or just install on the entire harddrive? | 23:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | workingchair, Read up on freenode / irc and ghost nicks and how to kill them | 23:15 |
| odoylerules | Adam_?? | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, weird error where exactly? | 23:15 |
| dreamy | okey ill type the whole letters | 23:15 |
| workingchair | will do, thanks | 23:15 |
| kinja-sheep | workingchair: When your nicknick becomes frozen, it's called a ghost. | 23:15 |
| eseven73 | workingchair: i think you have to do /msg nickserv GHOST <password goes here> | 23:15 |
| portz | I just put 8.10 Ibex on a new SSD. I went to update it, and when I rebooted, my monitor couldn't display. | 23:15 |
| odoylerules | where can I download lycoris | 23:15 |
| BotLobsta | dr_willis, whenever I try to run any bash script in the terminal | 23:15 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: can i ask for the huge favor.. of having the apt command that turns my ubuntu to ubuntu studio ? i lost it :S sorry.. | 23:16 |
| odoylerules | that seems to be the only linux os that will work with rotation | 23:16 |
| BotLobsta | or rather any script, not necessarily bash | 23:16 |
| rolle | portz: how did you install it? | 23:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | portz, what video card.. and does ctrl-alt F2 get you a cli | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, what text editor did you use to make the bash script? Last i saw an issue like that was when i used notepad.exe to make them, or some other way that they got 'altered' and had extra cr/lf characters at the end of each line | 23:16 |
| portz | Live CD to disk | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamy: you'll still have ubuntu, just with some / all studio packages installed | 23:16 |
| portz | And my graphics card is an onborad Geforce 7100 | 23:16 |
| portz | EDIT: onboard | 23:17 |

| ActionParsnip | dreamy: apt-cache search ubuntustudio | 23:17 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: okey | 23:17 |
| BotLobsta | dr_willis, i downloaded the latest nightly firefox and was trying to run that script. i didnt make it | 23:17 |
| rolle | i assume a desktop? | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, You said it affects every script> Even ones you make? Could be the download is goofed up. | 23:17 |
| BotLobsta | dr_willis, i tried to make a simple one as well in vim that just echoed something and it didnt work either | 23:18 |

| Bunny | Anyone able to help me get my comp to connect to the net? | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, you are not storeing these on a ntfs/vfat filesystem are you? | 23:18 |
| rolle | what card bunny | 23:18 |
| rolle | ? | 23:18 |
| BotLobsta | dr_willis, nope, theyre all in my /home directory which is its own ext3 partition | 23:19 |
| rolle | portz: i don't know your answer i'm just a noob--but just double check your connections and such i can only say | 23:19 |
| Bunny | Onboard ethernet, matsonic mainboard | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunny: run lspci and you will see all hardware, websearch for the hardware you wish to configure | 23:19 |
| JohnAnderson | Bunny is it a cable modem, dsl or what? | 23:20 |
| Bunny | Cable modem | 23:20 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: i typed that.. i goten a result with alot of packages.. (should i change to another command that proceeds to install ) ? | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, try changing the first #! line to #!/bin/bash perhaps - also try an editor like fte or geany or one that can show CR/LF/Extra white space characters Im not sure if VIM can do that or not. | 23:20 |
| portz | rolle: I've unplugged everything, replugged. Tried starting in gnome. Tried to enter GRUB, but my mobo doesn't let me use my keyboard when that option shows, for some reason | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamy: install whichever you need | 23:20 |
| JohnAnderson | Bunny so it doesnt require any authentification? | 23:21 |
| === osxdude|laptop is now known as osxdude|l | ||
| Bunny | No | 23:21 |
| JohnAnderson | usually cable connections are automatically detected and setup in ubuntu.. | 23:21 |
| wepeel | Hi everyone. How do I set up permissions so that another user on a machine can access (read/execute) files in a folder in my home directory? | 23:21 |
| JohnAnderson | might try resetting your modem | 23:21 |
| JohnAnderson | and seeing if that helps.. | 23:21 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: replacing "search" by "install" i guess | 23:22 |
| Bunny | I'm not even sure it's seeing the ethernet card. It says it's a SiS9000 PCI Fast Ethernet card | 23:22 |
| dreamy | okey | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamy: sudo apt-get install <something> | 23:22 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: cool | 23:22 |
| BotLobsta | dr_willis, i think i found it. /home was mounted with the user option which implies noexec | 23:22 |
| qcjn | what is the command to see all disk that are connected | 23:22 |
| portz | Forgot to mention: I just installed all updates from the update manager. And enabled the Geforce 177 restricted driver | 23:22 |
| qcjn | excuse me , hi :) | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, that could be it. :) | 23:23 |
| Ikan | Can someone assist me with the installation of ubuntu? | 23:23 |
| Bunny | I do have a router on the system, but it's not even letting me see it. | 23:23 |
| gnutron | qcjn: df -h | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | BotLobsta, but ive never noticed user, implying noexec. but then again. i dont use user option much. | 23:23 |
| JohnAnderson | try what ActionParsnip said, bunny.. you can also try turning the power of your modem off for ten secs, reconnecting and seering if that helps | 23:23 |
| qcjn | hi, gnutron ...thanks | 23:23 |
| gnutron | qcjn: welcome bonjour | 23:24 |
| BotLobsta | dr_willis, ive never noticed that either. but i read that it does. so im going to try to remount it without it | 23:24 |

| Ikan | Can someone help me figure something out with the ubuntu installation? | 23:24 |
| wat | yes ikan? | 23:25 |
| portz | Am I just going to have to reinstall, and not enable graphics drivers? | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bunny, is it not a sis900? | 23:25 |
| qcjn | gnutron: if it's not mounted, it doesn't see it.. | 23:25 |
| qcjn | gnutron: i need the one that sees event not mounted ? | 23:26 |
| qcjn | gnutron: because ubuntu doesn't see my mp3 player | 23:26 |
| gnutron | qcjn: sudo fdisk -l | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | portz, it will work, just needs some adjustment | 23:26 |
| qcjn | gnutron: ok | 23:27 |
| portz | Jack: I'm open to suggestions | 23:27 |
| Ikan | I'm trying to dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu, but when I get to the option for preparing disk space it shows -Before: /dev/sda1 0%, /dev/sda2 10%, /dev/sda3 69%, /dev/sda4 1%, Free Space 18% ---- After: Ubuntu 8.1 100% | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | portz, May we take this to pm | 23:27 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: what about a command to isntall them all ? possible ? | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunny: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/sis900-pci-ethernet-wont-connect-to-network-617944/ | 23:27 |
| portz | Jack: Absolutely | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamy: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio* | 23:27 |
| wat | ikan are you using custom installation or what? | 23:27 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: tryng not to be too boring here .. :) | 23:27 |
| Jonny0stars | More of Gnome question really but how can i store a wifi password rather than it asking every session i start | 23:27 |
| dreamy | ActionParsnip: great . thanks | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamy: its cool man | 23:28 |
| wat | select the automatic and there is a slider that lets you configure the size for your vista/ubuntu partition | 23:28 |
| wat | but select the dual boot option! | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunny: theres a driver on www.sis.com | 23:28 |
| Ikan | there isn't a slider though | 23:28 |
| wat | hmm, can you screenshot your installation window? | 23:28 |
| Ikan | The only options I have are- | 23:28 |
| giloth | odd question maybe but can someone tell me how i can get xchat-gnome to show a list of all the users in the channel? | 23:29 |
| kdogg | Hello, When I put the 64 bit install disc in, and select install, the loading screen comes up then the progress bar will stop moving until I press a button. if I keep pressing buttons it makes it to the install dialogue, but I am scared to install with that problem. | 23:29 |
| Ikan | Guided - use entire disk, SCSl1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 320.1GB ATA WDC, Manual | 23:29 |
| Ikan | I'll see if I can | 23:29 |
| kdogg | giloth, you can enable that in preferences | 23:29 |
| wat | thanks ikan | 23:29 |
| dr_willis | kdogg, try hitting the esc/f1/f2 keys to see if you can get to the text/error message window perhaps? | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunny: as far as i can see it works out of the box, just needs some config | 23:29 |
| wat | a screenshot would make my help a lot better | 23:30 |
| kdogg | dr_willis, i will give that a try, bbiaf | 23:30 |
| giloth | kdogg: you say its in prefs but i don't see that option anywhere o_O | 23:30 |
| Ranakah | how can i check distribution name in terminal? | 23:30 |
| kdogg | giloth one sec ill find it | 23:31 |
| giloth | thanks :) | 23:31 |
| Ikan | I don't know how I'd be able to give you the screenshot, I can't get wireless with my system when I'm installing it | 23:31 |
| Ikan | or wired | 23:31 |
| Decepticon | whats the rsync command so that it loks at dir X on pc_A and compares to dir_Y on pc_B, ifthere are files in dir_X on pc_A that do not exist on dir_Y on pc_B, to upload such files to dir_Y on pc_B and then delete these files on dir_X on pc_A | 23:31 |
| Commie_Cary | I think I messed up my /home partition, all of my permitions in my home partition have been changed to user "1000" how do I fix this? | 23:31 |
| wat | ikan, are you on the internet on the box you are installing ubuntu on | 23:31 |
| Ikan | No I am not | 23:31 |
| wat | do you have a flash drive | 23:31 |
| wat | or an equivalent | 23:32 |
| wat | or a camera | 23:32 |
| Ikan | I have an SD card | 23:32 |
| Scunizi | Commie_Cary: if you are the only user on the system then 1000 is typically what your user id is. | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | Commie_Cary, normally your first user is user '1000' thats his uie. | 23:32 |
| \Kira | how can I tell how many packages need upgrading from the command line? | 23:32 |
| Bunny_ | Still no good. I've reset the modem, the router, and the computer and it still isn't recognizing any connection | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | Commie_Cary, uid. If you use other disrtos to access/make/share the Home/username dir. that may not be the case. and the permissions maybe incorrect | 23:32 |
| wat | Ikan take the screenshot, and put it on the sd card, plug the sd card into your computer with internet and upload the screenshot | 23:32 |
| kdogg | giloth. under View>show user list | 23:32 |
| Scunizi | \Kira: man apt | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Commie_Cary: sudo chmod -R 755 ~/; sudo chown -R <yourusername>:<yourusername> ~/ | 23:33 |
| Commie_Cary | dr_willis: Scunizi: no It was organily my user(cary) but it changed for some odd reason | 23:33 |
| kdogg | giloth or ctrl+f7 | 23:33 |
| Decepticon | whats the rsync command so that it looks at dir X on pc_A and compares to dir_Y on pc_B, if there are files in dir_X on pc_A that do not exist on dir_Y on pc_B, to upload such files to dir_Y on pc_B and then delete these files on dir_X on pc_A and disconnect? | 23:33 |
| JohnAnderson | then u need to setup the ethernet card in the settings, bunny. u **might** need to download some drivers for it as well.. though i doubt it. | 23:33 |
| qcjn | ok, i see it. to mount it , i have to make the directory first ? mkdir /media/nextar ? right ? | 23:33 |
| giloth | kdogg: i don't have that option... i'm not using xchat but xchat-gnome - ctrl-f7 doesn't work either | 23:33 |
| Ikan | wat, It's not recognizing it when I put in the SD card | 23:33 |
| Ikan | should I just make you a drawing? | 23:33 |
| ScottG | Huh, i just randomly noticed that by default ubuntu doesnt let me "capture video from TV or webcams" in my user priviges by default... | 23:33 |
| kdogg | giloth, xchat-gnome Su$%^ | 23:33 |
| wat | ikan no haha, it should recognize though | 23:33 |
| kdogg | giloth, any particular reason for using it? | 23:34 |
| wat | do you have a camera | 23:34 |
| Bunny_ | I figured the ethernet card might need to be configured but I'm not exactly sure how to do that | 23:34 |
| giloth | nah not really are they that different? | 23:34 |
| Ikan | I have a phone camera, but the quality is very shoddy | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunny_: i gave you a link | 23:34 |
| kdogg | giloth, chat is way better | 23:34 |
| wat | ikan try the phone camera at least | 23:34 |
| Ikan | I don't know if you'll be able to get the information you need | 23:34 |
| giloth | kk i'll get that :) | 23:34 |
| kdogg | giloth, sorry xchat* | 23:34 |
| wat | and did the sd card recgonize yet? | 23:34 |
| Ikan | I'll try that then | 23:34 |
| Bunny_ | Sorry I must have missed it ActionParsnip | 23:34 |
| giloth | thanks again | 23:34 |
| Ikan | It didn't recognize the SD | 23:34 |
| kdogg | np | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunny_: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/sis900-pci-ethernet-wont-connect-to-network-617944/ | 23:34 |
| wat | ikan just try the phone camera then | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikan: does it show up in: sudo fdisk -l | 23:35 |
| Bunny_ | Thanks I'll give that a look | 23:35 |
| Decepticon | whats the rsync command so that it looks at dir X on pc_A and compares to dir_Y on pc_B, if there are files in dir_X on pc_A that do not exist on dir_Y on pc_B, to upload such files to dir_Y on pc_B and then delete these files on dir_X on pc_A and disconnect? | 23:35 |

| crf | Hi, I tried creating a class in CUPS. And I tried printing a test document. And it says "pending". I'm not sure why it is not printing. Can anyone help please? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | AceBlade258: check your bios settings for bootable devices, its offtopic for this channel | 23:36 |
| wat | crf what kind of printer? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | AceBlade258: unless its grub with the issue | 23:36 |
| koshar1 | Decepticon try this rsync -r --del -u /bigmutha/music /removable --progress | 23:36 |
| AceBlade258 | Scunizi: Both, i currently am talking to you from installed on a ~old PATA drive | 23:36 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: diagnosis isn't.. he might need pci=nomsi in the kernel line like I do.. | 23:36 |
| crf | wat, it is a samsung. When I just use cups (without a class) it prints | 23:36 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: is this a newer motherboard.. nvidia chipset? | 23:37 |
| wat | but are the settings saved if you dont use a class crf? | 23:37 |
| qcjn | sudo fdisk -l sees the disk, but not it's format ???? | 23:37 |
| AceBlade258 | yes NF4 Ultra | 23:37 |
| AceBlade258 | AMD | 23:37 |
| lanase | hi all i need some help . i have installed ubuntu 8.08 on my system and after installing the ATI driver i lost all sound . can anyone help me ? | 23:37 |
| AceBlade258 | i can get the drive's to mount hot in linux | 23:37 |
| lanase | 8.04 aory | 23:37 |
| Ikan | If you need help deciphering the photo, I'll tell you what it says wat | 23:37 |
| wat | kk | 23:38 |
| crf | wat, yes. | 23:38 |
| Real_Ubot | hyperspace: I had problem connect to wireless Internet with my Acer Aspire One. I solved the problem by downloading a new kernel for Acer Aspire One. But another time when I used Ubuntu 8.10 it worked out of the box. Strange it didn't work in a new installation though. But as I said, I installed a special kernel made for AA1 and then it bagan to work again. | 23:38 |
| Gaming4JC | lanase: wow that's an old version | 23:38 |
| wat | crf why do you need cups exactly? | 23:38 |
| lanase | lol | 23:38 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: you might be suffering the same issue I did on my recent build on an AMD gforce 8200.. were you able to install with the live cd or did you have to use the alternate? | 23:38 |
| AceBlade258 | with a little trouble | 23:38 |
| lanase | im having problem with 8.10 | 23:38 |
| crf | wat, in order to print from a network | 23:38 |
| wat | oh =/ | 23:38 |
| Jonny0stars | Anyone? | 23:38 |
| hyperspace | Real_Ubot: thanks... updating packages from dell repo atm... just pulled it out of box | 23:38 |
| crf | (wat, another computer on the network) | 23:38 |
| regeya | !cups | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 23:38 |
| koshar1 | JohnAnderson admin>loginwindow>security | 23:38 |
| AceBlade258 | i just ended up unpluging the sata drives and installing | 23:39 |
| crf | thanks regeya | 23:39 |
| Jonny0stars | How can i set it to store the wifi password and quit prompting me everytime i login | 23:39 |
| crf | regeya, I will look | 23:39 |
| Decepticon | koshar1 ill try | 23:39 |
| lanase | how can i know what is the problem with the sound ? | 23:39 |
| regeya | if you use osx, that uses cups as well | 23:39 |
| Jonny0stars | its very annoying having to type a 10 digit passphrase everything i want to join my wireless network | 23:39 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: the way I fixed it was to add pci=nomsi at the end of the kernel line. does that make sense to you or are you not familure with linux at all. | 23:40 |
| wat | lanase go to the programs drop down menu and click on add/remove programs, when that opens in the search bar search for sound | 23:40 |
| regeya | next_mobo_purchase=nomsi | 23:40 |
| Ikan | The picture came out quite well, actually. | 23:40 |
| Ikan | wat, http://i41.tinypic.com/2kq7pg.jpg | 23:40 |
| AceBlade258 | i know a bit about linux, but if you could guide me through that would help (that's one of the many thing i don't know) | 23:40 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: hang on and I'll get the reference for the file we need to open and add to. | 23:41 |
| Decepticon | koshar1 what about rsync -ravz --del -u /home/bizinichi/public_html/Media/ decepticon@decepticon.rlogin.org:/home/decepticon/public_html/media/tazeat/ >>/home/bizinichi/rsync.log 2>&1 | 23:41 |

| Decepticon | alias | 23:42 |

| Bunny_ | I think I messed with too much, so I'm going to wipe and start over again | 23:42 |
| roe | is there a table tracking the system requirements over time? | 23:43 |
| VOYAGER | yeah | 23:43 |
| lanase | wat: my problem is after i installed the ATI drivers i lost the sound | 23:43 |

| [TiZ] | So, my ntfs data partition apparently has some bad sectors on it, so GParted won't detect any important information about it. I just deleted windows, so I can't chkdisk it. What should I do next? | 23:44 |
| lanase | can any one help me find what is the problem with my sound ? | 23:44 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: Ok.. go to terminal and gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst .. then in this line add the last bit I mentioned before... save.. shutdown.. attach drive .. reboot and see if it works.. you could also delete "quiet splash" so on boot you can watch the errors. kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=UUID=744dc156-ab29-48f4-86a2-8042d1dcfc13 ro quiet splash pci=nomsi | 23:44 |

| phunyguy | I ran some updates, and then had no permission to access the cdrom, etc. | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: then add yourself to the group agani | 23:46 |
| phunyguy | i got sudo back... | 23:46 |
| wat | also i have been in that situation and restarting the computer then trying the installation again has worked | 23:46 |
| ryanakca | How can a test if a device is mounted in a shell script? I can test if a block device exists... would I need to grep the output of mount -l ? | 23:46 |
| phunyguy | i dont know which group\ | 23:46 |
| phunyguy | thats the thing | 23:46 |
| phunyguy | i ran sudo users-admin, and everything is grayed out | 23:46 |

| phunyguy | something is hosed up bad | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: did you log off and on? | 23:47 |
| phunyguy | its been like this for weeks | 23:47 |
| phunyguy | got tired of running everything as sudo then running around fixing file permissions | 23:47 |
| [TiZ] | I need to use Windows' chkdisk, but I just deleted my windows partition. Is there a copy of it on the Windows XP install cd? Can I use it somehow? | 23:47 |
| kdogg | dr_willis, I tried hitting esc, f1, and f2 right after the progress bar stops moving and it just makes the progress bar move about a quarter inch each time, so like I said earlier, if i were to keep hitting the esc key, or any other key repeatedly, it will continu loading. Its as if the cpu will only function if a key is being pressed | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: you dont have to run everything as sudo, only when you need it | 23:47 |
| [TiZ] | Oh crap, never mind. This is offtopic. | 23:47 |
| AceBlade258 | lanase: and what's happening | 23:48 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: just curious.. did you catch my post above? | 23:48 |
| AceBlade258 | Scunizi: ahh, which line is the kernel line? | 23:48 |
| lanase | AceBlade258: after installing the ATI video card drivers i lost the sound | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: which is probably why you are in this mess | 23:48 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: the one that says "kernel" | 23:48 |
| AceBlade258 | Scunizi: oh... duh | 23:49 |
| Scunizi | :) | 23:49 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: never got around to trying this but there was another suggestion I found to change SATA to ahci.. but not sure where to do that. | 23:49 |
| AceBlade258 | lanase: go to terminal and type in sudo lspci | 23:50 |
| grizlo42 | hey i have a ati radeon 3650hd, but i am having problems with compiz and opengl | 23:50 |

| AceBlade258 | pastbin the results | 23:51 |
| Ikan | I would want to install it on /dev/sda4 | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: what video card do you have .. seperate? or onboard.. and must be nvidia? if it's the 8000 series or higher the latest nvidia driver off their site really helps screen writes. | 23:51 |
| lanase | sudo lspci |grep Audio | 23:51 |

| AceBlade258 | oh, i should go get that | 23:53 |
| koshar1 | Decepticon that command deletes the file that is redundant on the backup not the cource, i misunderstood your requirements | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !intrepid | wat | 23:53 |
| Ikan | The same thing shows up :x | 23:53 |
| ubottu | wat: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 23:53 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: 177 is pretty horrible.. 173 worked better for lots of cards.. my 8200 is still slow but functional on the new driver.. It was like running through mollassis with the 173 & 177 | 23:53 |
| Decepticon | whats the rsync command so that it looks at dir X on pc_A and compares to dir_Y on pc_B, if there are files in dir_X on pc_A that do not exist on dir_Y on pc_B, to upload such files to dir_Y on pc_B and then delete these files on dir_X on pc_A and disconnect? right now i am using rsync -ravz --del -u /home/bizinichi/public_html/media/ decepticon@decepticon.rlogin.org:/home/decepticon/public_html/media/tazeat/ --progress ....... but it does not d | 23:53 |

| Decepticon | er local file | 23:54 |

| Scunizi | or look now :) | 23:54 |
| lanase | lol | 23:55 |
| ubuntu | i need help im trying to delete partitions on my drive..........gparted says that the drive is mounted but konsole says it isnt | 23:55 |
| AceBlade258 | lol | 23:55 |
| Decepticon | koshar1: how to modify it then? | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu: use gparted to unmount it then | 23:55 |
| AceBlade258 | umm... is your video pci express? | 23:55 |
| ubuntu | i dont have that option Scunizi | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: run mount to see where its mounted, then run: sudo umount /mount/point | 23:56 |
| lanase | AceBlade258: its a extension card of my board asus m2a-vm hdmi | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu: you can "sudo umount /media/<drive>" or "sudo umount /dev/<drive>" | 23:56 |
| ubuntu | iit says that its not mounted | 23:56 |
| burkmat | Crontab looks like this: "* * * * * mplayer /wakeup.mp3", cron is running, wakeup.mp3 has chmod 777. Why is this not working? | 23:57 |
| JohnAnderson | okay got another question | 23:57 |
| CanonEOS | is there a way to uncheck the kernel upgrade and not have it show up again | 23:57 |
| workingchair | how did you score the name ubuntu on this server? haha | 23:57 |
| JohnAnderson | how do i make certain programs run on startup | 23:57 |
| ubuntu | i didnt score anything the live cd gives it to u | 23:57 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: maybe full path to mplayer is needed | 23:57 |
| JohnAnderson | for example when the comp starts .... the program 'firefox' would load up automagically | 23:57 |
| burkmat | Decepticon, Good thinking. Will try. | 23:57 |
| Scunizi | JohnAnderson: list the program in System>Admin>service | 23:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !startup | 23:58 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 23:58 |
| Reformer81 | What application would work well for finding duplicate IMAGE files (regardless of filename/size)? | 23:58 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: that would seem to launch that mplayer mp3 every minute of every day of every weekday of every year | 23:58 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: are you trying to get it to launch on boot | 23:58 |
| Scunizi | JohnAnderson: sorry.. Jack_Sparrow is right.. again.. look at ubottu's links | 23:58 |
| burkmat | Decepticon, I know, just testing with this before I set my real parameters. :) | 23:58 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: theres also something @reboot | 23:59 |
| Itaku | whats the windows equivilant to rm -rf /(dont try it) | 23:59 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: it takes the place of specifying a time afaik | 23:59 |
| burkmat | Decepticon, I know, just using this for my alarm clock so reboot is a nono. :P I know how all that works, just don't know why it wont play my music. | 23:59 |
| AceBlade258 | lanase: that means ubuntu is somhow mixing up PCI and PCI-Ex ports... | 23:59 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: cool | 23:59 |
| jgoguen | Itaku: format C: | 23:59 |
| Reformer81 | Itaku: format c: | 23:59 |
