| burkmat | Decepticon, Full path didn't work either... This is driving me crazy. Cron should run stuff as the user which I'm "crontabbing" from, right? | 00:00 |

| Itaku | whats the windows equivilant of cd? | 00:00 |
| Scunizi | Itaku: cd | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Itaku: same command | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Itaku: in windows though you can use cd.. instead of cd .. | 00:00 |
| QaDeS | oooh, a quiz :oD | 00:00 |
| Scunizi | Itaku: where's the better place for windows reference info... ##windows | 00:01 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: yeah, so makre sure youre not editing the /etc/crontab . but rather some file where you've added that in, and then did the command crontab /path/to/your/crontab.file. you can check with crontab -l | 00:01 |

| QaDeS | mahlzeit, chack-1 | 00:01 |
| burkmat | Decepticon, Using Ubuntu out of the box should work just using crontab from my user, right? | 00:01 |

| yoyit2 | how do i format a 500GB external Harddrive into Fat32 from ntsf??? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ozatomic: i'd suggest dd, its not necessarily the best, neither is there a best | 00:02 |
| AceBlade258 | brb all | 00:02 |
| Scunizi | AceBlade258: I've missed some of that so I don't know who you're talking to but there might be a bios switch to go between onboard and the other | 00:02 |
| Reformer81 | Crap... okay, I installed a package (gimageview), but I have no idea what command starts it. It didn't create a menu item and "gimageview" is not found. How do I determine which command starts it? | 00:02 |
| QaDeS | chack-1: was ist das für ein sinnloses gebrabbel? | 00:02 |
| Decepticon | burkmat: not famliar. afaik when you specify your file, as your own user with crontab /path/to/crontab/file/of/your/own... you are saying i am decepticon and that my own personal crontab is there that you should run, cron daemon | 00:02 |

| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: those are microsoft formats, i'd suggest you ask in ##windows | 00:02 |
| ozatomic | jrib: does partimage do an entire image of a disk like nortans ghost does, so i can get the mbr aswell? | 00:03 |
| exodus_ms | is the forums site down for the time being? | 00:03 |
| dreamy | ill brb | 00:03 |
| Decepticon | koshar1: any help on this please? | 00:03 |
| jrib | ozatomic: don't know. Your other option is dd which does a "dumb" copy bit for bit | 00:03 |
| burkmat | Decepticon, yeah, but just adding stuff to the crontab without modifying /etc/crontab on a new ubuntu install should run my crontab stuff, right? gah... maybe i'll just use sleep, at this rate I won't be asleep by the time the alarm clock goes off. :P | 00:03 |
| yoyit2 | ActionParsnip: ive done it before, i just cant remeber how (using ubuntu) all i need to do do it on ubuntuo is form at the drive into fat32 (so it will work on xbox360) and i dont have a windows computer.... so i need a way t | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ozatomic: you can easily reinstall grub | 00:04 |
| chack-1 | QaDeS, | 00:04 |

| yoyit2 | ActionParsnip: do it on ubuntu | 00:04 |

| xinxan | Hi, I wonder if someone could help me with VirtualBox? I've installed it then installed Windows XP successfully as a guest OS. At a certain point in the installation, XP asks me to set a password, so I did. Then when the install was done it started windows and asked me for the password, but won't accept it. | 00:04 |
| xinxan | I know it's the right password and I tried a fresh install just in case, now I don't know what to do. | 00:04 |
| ozatomic | does dd backup the mbr aswell? | 00:04 |
| ikonia | xinxan: thats a windows issue, join ##windows or #vbox | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: if you dont mind losing data you can simply unmount the partition then run: sudo mk2fs.vfat /dev/<partition name> | 00:04 |
| ikonia | ozatomic: yes | 00:04 |
| xinxan | Oh, there's a channel for vbox? Thanks ikonia. | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: if you backup the data first you can copy it back once its formatted | 00:05 |
| yoyit2 | ActionParsnip: thx | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: mke2fs vfat sorry | 00:05 |

| gogereaver | ActionParsnip you can with vmware but its not something i would dare let format my real drives with | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: if you run mount on its own, you will see where the partition is mounted | 00:13 |
| yoyit2 | ActionParsnip: gogereaver ok... the drive is from a windows machine, (ntfs) and i need to format it into fat32, so it will work on both xbox and ubuntu | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | gogereaver: i wouldnt touch any virtualisation to format a partition | 00:13 |
| davguar | Hi, sorry if you already saw my message before my irc client kept crashing straight after I submitted my message so I don't know if it really was submitted or not. I am from Australia and I purchased a laptop with ubuntu pre-installed from a company called rcubedtech in Galesburg, IL, USA. The harddrive failed and I returned it for repairs before the warranty expired. The warranty expired while they had it and they told me t | 00:13 |
| Ikan | Can someone assist me with the installation of 8.10 Ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: can i just put uid=kenneth? | 00:14 |
| gogereaver | yoyit2 you can use a real drive in vmware but your better off to use fdisk to connvert it if you dont mind losing the data | 00:14 |
| gogereaver | yoyit2 linux can format to fat32 | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: i'd use uid=1000 | 00:14 |
| KenBW2 | Ikan: i kan :) | 00:14 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: returns error: mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: you need to find out which partition name it is with mount and sudo fdisk -l output | 00:14 |
| Ikan | Ken, I'm trying to multiboot ubuntu and vista, I already have vista installed | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: try -o noauto,users,exec,rw,umask=000 | 00:15 |
| yoyit2 | ActionParsnip: when i typed in fdisk-1 it jsut gave me some random stuff | 00:15 |
| Ikan | but when I choose the installation for ubuntu, it says 100% of my harddrive | 00:15 |
| KenBW2 | Ikan: can we go to pm? | 00:15 |
| Ikan | yes we can | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: yes, those are your disks and their respective partitions | 00:15 |

| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: gives me a load of ways of using mount | 00:16 |
| gogereaver | its fatx | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | yoyit2: if yu fire up another terminal and run mount you can compare to see which partition is the one you want to format | 00:16 |
| yoyit2 | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/104610/ | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: i'd read man mount | 00:16 |

| mib_nbtqz7bp | hello everyone. is it best practice to upgrade every time a new regular upgrade comes out (like Ibex)? or wait for the next lts release? I am on Ubuntu EEE, based on 8.04 lts | 00:40 |
| Bunny | Ok, have done a completely fresh install of Ubuntu, reset the router and modem, then the PC. Any idea what to do now? | 00:40 |
| wat | whats lts? | 00:40 |
| Bodsda | Harnagel, i dont think so, you need to boot an OS to fix the upgrade | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperspace: about 20% way down | 00:40 |
| nickrud_ | wat, long term support | 00:40 |
| Hutch | nickrud_: so im guessing you still got mouse lag if you went back to windows | 00:40 |
| wat | oh | 00:40 |
| wat | wait for the lts imo | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_nbtqz7bp: if it aint broke, dont fix it | 00:40 |

| Harnagel | I have a hardy heron cd. | 00:40 |
| Bodsda | mib_nbtqz7bp, Your choice, lts is obviously more reliable | 00:41 |
| Bodsda | Harnagel, that will do fine | 00:41 |
| gogereaver | marabout_ odd that should sent you to text | 00:41 |
| noodlesgc | mib_nbtqz7bp i usually boot off a disc of the latest one, and make sure everything works forst | 00:41 |
| nickrud_ | Hutch, no, I had no mouse lag in windows (once I used a wired mouse, that is, I occasionally had wireless mouse lag) | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikan: same process as installing 8.04 | 00:41 |
| Harnagel | How will I repair the dependency issues? | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikan: boot cd and install | 00:41 |
| gogereaver | marabout_ defently sounds likea flaky video driver | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikan: be sure to check the cd for defects | 00:41 |
| Hutch | nickrud~: i mean in linux via wine | 00:41 |
| mib_nbtqz7bp | thanks, wat, action, bod. so let's say I want to upgrade to the next lts release, what is best way to keep all customizations and settings when I upgrade? | 00:42 |
| Ikan | The thing is that I'm trying to dualboot and it doesn't give me the option to install on a specific partition | 00:42 |
| nickrud_ | Hutch, yeah, performance wasn't where I wanted it | 00:42 |
| wat | mib_nbtqz7bp im not the one to ask about that O_O | 00:42 |
| Ikan | and when I elect to install "manually" it shows all my hard-drive being taken up | 00:42 |
| mib_nbtqz7bp | no prob, thanks wat | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_nbtqz7bp: when you upgrade you only upgrade the apps, settings will stand | 00:42 |
| mdg2 | Is there a Ubuntu CLI chat forum? | 00:42 |
| Ikan | I can show you pictures if you'd like? | 00:42 |
| wat | ikan on 8.04 for me there is a slider its awesome | 00:42 |
| hyperspace | ActionParsnip: i seem to be missing /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperspace: you make it | 00:42 |
| Ikan | There's supposedly a slider on 8.10 also | 00:43 |
| Bodsda | Harnagel, you will need to restart the upgrade, boot the live cd, mount the partially upgraded ppartition, use chroot to change root directory to that of the dodgy upgrade (effectively running ibex now) then run sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade | 00:43 |
| wat | yeah idk why | 00:43 |
| marabout_ | gogereaver: wow nothing brings me back. guess I need to power down to get back | 00:43 |

| mib_nbtqz7bp | action, I've seen people talk about keeping their home directory on another partition. Isn't this so that settings will remain after upgrade? Or is there another reason users do this? | 00:43 |

| gogereaver | mib_nbtqz7bp if you have a home partation that is | 00:44 |
| mib_nbtqz7bp | Thanks, goger, so then what is the point of keeping your home directory on separate partition? | 00:44 |
| mdg2 | powertool08: It seems its been down all day | 00:44 |
| gogereaver | mib_nbtqz7bp thats the point | 00:44 |
| nickrud_ | Hutch, increase/decrease zoom level, or hold down middle button and drag mouse | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperspace: i use wep for the whole reason to avoid all that faff | 00:44 |
| mib_nbtqz7bp | Ah, I think you just answered the question. thanks. | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hutch, Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse | 00:44 |

| Bunny_ | Just installing ubuntu for the first time | 01:01 |

| ActionParsnip | hyperspace: then its not configured by your supplier correctly in the software sense | 01:02 |
| wat | joshua__ what happens/how long did you wait | 01:02 |
| wat | for it to boot* | 01:02 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: This is a wired ethernet connection you are trying to use? | 01:02 |

| complexity | workingchair : 10.0.15.3-1hardy2, libswfdec-0.6.4-2 | 01:03 |
| wat | jousha__ it should be a loading bar | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !root | Psyonik | 01:03 |
| ubottu | Psyonik: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:03 |
| hyperspace | gogereaver: i have macbook pro & 2 other ubuntu boxes next to me, i has many a core | 01:03 |

| hyperspace | gogereaver: dual quad macpro @ office as well lul | 01:03 |
| mib_nbtqz7bp | When I upgrade a distro, should everything that worked before work again? Put another way, am I better off upgrading each time a new version comes out or doing a clean install and tweaking anything that's not working the second time around? | 01:03 |
| gogereaver | hyperspace mac pro 8 core me whant | 01:03 |
| cloud-nist | Now.... can someone help me get my mic working? | 01:03 |
| cloud-nist | :( | 01:03 |
| Psyonik | ActionParsnip: Thanks, I know the root rules. :P | 01:03 |
| joshua__ | wat: well it did have a loading bar and when i thought it was loading it just went to bash command? | 01:03 |
| hyperspace | gogereaver: yes.. i love it | 01:03 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: So youhave ubuntu running now? | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Psyonik: its your system dude | 01:04 |

| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yes, I have it up on my second box here | 01:04 |
| cloud-nist | audio is fine high pitch noise gone | 01:04 |
| lanoxx_ | barak, whats the reason for it? some packages can be authenticated some not | 01:04 |
| Psyonik | ActionParsnip: I'm familiar with Sudo | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | cloud-nist: is it muted? what soundcard does lspci say you have | 01:04 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: let me see if I can guide you to the network settings from the desktop | 01:04 |
| complexity | cloud-nist : I would suggest you adjust the levels of sound and mic so you do not get feedback | 01:04 |
| joshua__ | wat: i downloaded the 32bit i386 architecture version. and i can't reburn my cd/ dvd burner isn't working i have to repair it. | 01:04 |
| cloud-nist | I cant get the sound recorder to recognize my mic | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Psyonik: then theres zero requirement for root | 01:05 |
| wat | joshua__ try wubi -_- | 01:05 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Alright | 01:05 |
| cloud-nist | ActionParsnip: mic is not muted | 01:05 |
| gogereaver | joshua__ hahaha | 01:05 |
| wat | hehe | 01:05 |
| gogereaver | joshua__ just make a usb boot | 01:05 |
| joshua__ | Wat: well i just wanted to try a different flavor of linux. I am now running OpenSUSE | 01:05 |
| Psyonik | ActionParsnip: I hadn't realized I needed to use the 'sudo su' command to finish the installation for glib. | 01:05 |
| workingchair | complexity, I just have 'flashplugin-nonfree' installed. maybe try installing that, or uninstalling the libswfdec and then installing a different codec. I don't really know why the hell there are so many on that thing. | 01:05 |
| wat | joshua__ lmao | 01:05 |
| joshua__ | k | 01:05 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Booting ubuntu now as I'm on a CLI box here | 01:05 |

| wat | joshua__ try virtualbox | 01:05 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Not a problem | 01:05 |
| wat | you run linux....and didnt think to use a virtual machine ?_? | 01:06 |
| Psyonik | ActionParsnip: How come? I was always told 'sudo su' was the best choice. | 01:06 |
| gogereaver | joshua__ why would he do that ubuntu can usb boot | 01:06 |
| barak | lanoxx_: some package are digitally sign , and some not or you don't have the key that they sign with | 01:06 |
| cloud-nist | How can I even test my mic? | 01:06 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: By chance do you see an icon on the menu bar showing two computers? | 01:06 |
| wat | virtual machine :P | 01:06 |
| complexity | ok will try workingchair...what codec are you using? | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Psyonik: its sudo -i (interactive) | 01:06 |
| cloud-nist | there are so many options in volume properties | 01:06 |
| hyperspace | gonna try network manager from svn -_- | 01:06 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yes I do | 01:06 |
| joshua__ | i know it can usb boot but i don't know how to get it to boot into the usb on start up | 01:06 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: See what happens when you right click that icon | 01:06 |
| Psyonik | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the headsup | 01:07 |
| gogereaver | joshua__ as long as your bios support it | 01:07 |
| wat | joshua set your bios to boot from removable disk | 01:07 |
| gogereaver | joshua__ making a bootable usb should be a non issue | 01:07 |
| wat | sometimes the removeable disk is set as a hard drive | 01:07 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Enable Networking is checked, gives me the option to edit connections. | 01:07 |

| assem | my 2nd x screen (nvidia, separate screens) has the bottom cutoff with a black mask. the mouse can still be seen on top of it and it's generally buggy. anyone offer links or support? | 01:08 |

| jrib | mdg2: did you catch what I said? | 01:34 |
| * Spoom manually downgrades evolution-common, hopes it doesn't break anything | 01:34 | |
| xinxan | Kamilion: Could it also be a problem that I am installing onto an external hard drive? | 01:34 |
| dreamy | aoliveira: ok.. dunno | 01:34 |
| trapline | jrib, Its 8.10 | 01:34 |
| mdg2 | jrib: what? | 01:34 |
| gogereaver | Hutch if you did firfox after flash it can be a issue | 01:34 |
| Kamilion | My Problem: Samba 3.2.3 on 8.10, trying to connect to a share from XPsp3, Mapping drive works with bare login ( kamilion/password ), network neighborhood does not (replaces with CORE\kamilion). Is there a workaround I can be pointed at for this other than having to map drive letters every time? Perhaps a config setting for samba to accept MACHINE\user ? | 01:34 |
| jrib | mdg2: I think Bunny_ typed "vi etc/network/interfaces" instead of "vi /etc/network/interfaces" | 01:34 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: how do i go about doing that. nah i did flash after firefox | 01:34 |
| Bunny_ | jrib: I corrected it | 01:34 |
| Kamilion | xinxan: No, that's no problem, I've done that plenty. | 01:35 |
| itachi | Kamilion: same | 01:35 |
| mdg2 | jrib: You are right! | 01:35 |
| jzes | Hi Guys! I have a really slow internal wlan card on my toshiba laptop running Ubuntu 8.10. I also have an zyxel wlan usb stick, how can I get ubuntu to use my zyxel stick insted of the internal wlan card? | 01:35 |

| Kamilion | itachi: Pardon? | 01:35 |

| RPS | guys I have a line of code to use on a program, but I'm not sure how to enter it in the terminal .../set text_max_indent 320 | 01:35 |
| xinxan | Kamilion: Okay. And I don't have to have any special settings for that, right? Just change the defaults in settings. So this should work after I figure out the unattended thing, okay. I'll give that a try. Thanks again. | 01:35 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: we will close "Vi" by typing :q! | 01:35 |
| itachi | Kamilion: my samba error... | 01:35 |

| jzes | opersts: what ? | 01:36 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: That a colon, a q and an exclamation | 01:36 |
| Kamilion | xinxan: Can't change the settings, they're on the ISO file. But you can discover what settings were used. | 01:36 |
| maynoth | hey guys I need to check a usb flash drive for bad sectors how do I do that fsck does not work even when formatted to ext2 | 01:36 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yup. got it | 01:36 |

| creeed | hello, I get troubles with the fonts under gnome after starting dual-screen with xrandr, the dual-screen works fine but after some time and when I beginn switching between windows the font of the GUI goes to play out: colors change, letters disappear.. a chaos! I have ubuntu 8.10. any help please? | 01:36 |
| Kamilion | itachi: Any luck resolving it? | 01:36 |
| gogereaver | flashplugin-nonfree | 01:36 |
| TeamColtra[TFD | A few days ago, my audio just stopped working on my machine (running 8.10) it says can't play due to unknown reasons... I googled it and nothing seemed to be very helpful. I am sure its not my audio card, because it has been working for a while... and honestly its pretty generic audio card. What type of trouble shooting can I do (I have lost audio in Music and DVD playback) | 01:36 |
| maynoth | ugg I guess I'll use windows :C | 01:36 |
| maynoth | sucks | 01:36 |
| itachi | Kamilion: yes, u lucky | 01:36 |
| Spoom | yay, evolution's reinstalling | 01:36 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Now in the terminal type: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces ---- you need the slash before etc | 01:37 |
| Spoom | and hopefully my email is still there o_o | 01:37 |
| Kamilion | maynoth: format the flash drive with ext3 then run fsck.ext3 -f -c | 01:37 |
| itachi | Kamilion: what ur problem ? | 01:37 |
| xinxan | Kamilion: Thanks again. Better go to bed, I'm flagging, but I'll try it tomorrow. Cheers. | 01:37 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yep. Got it, and the changes are still there | 01:37 |
| mdg2 | jrib: Thanks for catching that :) | 01:37 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: why can't ubuntu play from two applications at once? | 01:37 |
| itachi | Kamilion: HEY! | 01:37 |
| maynoth | Kamilion, Thanks | 01:37 |
| Spoom | Kamilion, thanks, much appreciated | 01:37 |
| jrib | mdg2: no problem, looks like Bunny_ caught it too anyway :) | 01:37 |
| Spoom | sometimes you just need hints ;^) | 01:37 |
| gogereaver | Hutch it should | 01:37 |
| Kamilion | itachi: my problem is that I can't login with my proper username. | 01:38 |
| jeeves_Moss | what cuses my system not to mount USB disks? I JUST created an EXT3 partition on this external 20Gb unit, and now it's saying that my system can't access it (but I can mount it from the command line) | 01:38 |
| gogereaver | Hutch unless your ard only has half duples drivers | 01:38 |
| Kamilion | Windows is forcing me to use domain/workgroup identifier. | 01:38 |

| itachi | Kamilion: adduser <sambauser> | 01:39 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: mine is too, its a Sennheiser PC166, but when i have 2 applications open playing sound, both stutter horribly. does it have to do with USB using OSS instead of ALSA? | 01:39 |
| itachi | weed37: what ur problem ? | 01:40 |
| Kamilion | itachi: won't work, samba | 01:40 |
| Kamilion | itachi: won't work, samba is PAM backed | 01:40 |
| gogereaver | Hutch maybe | 01:40 |
| jeeves_Moss | Kamilion, "the volume uses a file system not supported by this system" | 01:40 |
| gogereaver | Hutch can alwys trying switching itto use alisa | 01:40 |
| jeeves_Moss | weed37, we may have some answers | 01:40 |
| Kamilion | jeeves_Moss: Hm. And what is generating this error? | 01:40 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Got Vi open, changes made to /etc/network/interfaces" are still in place | 01:40 |
| itachi | Kamilion: PAM ? | 01:40 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: when i choose USB Sennheiser (ALSA) and try the test button, it gives an error and cant play back | 01:40 |
| TeamColtra[TFD | I just want to point out in my previous request, any time I try to open up an audio program (Songbird, Rythembox, etc) they crash upon trying to play audio | 01:41 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: okay. Now :w to write the document making sure it shows /etc/network/interfaces | 01:41 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: how do i switch it to alisa | 01:41 |
| gogereaver | Hutch well like you tryed | 01:41 |
| jeeves_Moss | Kamilion, it's just an OS GUI popup | 01:41 |
| gogereaver | Hutch guess not | 01:41 |
| Kamilion | jeeves_Moss: I saw something similar when I connected my WD Mybook's harddrive to my PC, I had to specify -t ext3 because it thought it was a raid_member | 01:41 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yep. Got that done | 01:41 |
| gogereaver | Hutch so did flash decide to work | 01:41 |

| Hutch | gogereaver: ok, how can i update them or whatever | 01:42 |

They all have the ability to search the Java Docs from JCreator. I was wondering, is there a way I could search the Java Docs as well? Doesn't have to be from within Geany, can be webbased or a desktop app. | 01:43 |

| randy_ | Hi, I'm getting a kernal source version mismatch trying to run quickcam. I read an old walk through and did apt-get linux source instead of my uname. I redid the apt-get correctly but I still get the mismatch error. Any ideas? | 01:46 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Now lets check and see what we get. In the terminal type: ifconfig eth0 | 01:46 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: is there another small web browser i can try | 01:46 |
| gogereaver | Hutch shure | 01:46 |
| gogereaver | http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=linux | 01:47 |
| nickrud | randy_, if you compiled against the first, wrong kernel source you'll need to get the right headers/source and recompile the driver | 01:47 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Did you see where I was saying it gave me "misplaced option" on the network restart command? | 01:47 |
| gogereaver | Hutch next to firefox and ie thats number 3 in poplure | 01:47 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Yes, not sure what the means | 01:47 |
| klotho | hey, I have ubuntu 6.10 installed on my old IBM T23 laptop... is it safe to upgrade to version 8? If so, what's the best way to do it? | 01:47 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: It gave me, pretty much nothing, everything for eth0 is a 0 | 01:48 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Type: "ifconfig eth0" and it will tell us more info | 01:48 |
| nickrud | !upgrade | klotho has instructions for 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.4 :) | 01:48 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Your inet addr is zeros? | 01:48 |
| nickrud | !test | 01:48 |
| ubottu | sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 01:48 |
| giorgio_ | scusate la chat in italiani | 01:49 |
| nickrud | !upgrade | klotho | 01:49 |
| ubottu | klotho: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 01:49 |
| klotho | nickrud - so I have to upgrade first to 7.04, then 7.10 and finally to 8.4, there's no one-step upgrade? | 01:49 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: No inet addr at all | 01:49 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Doesn't even say "inet addr" | 01:49 |
| mdg2 | okay, we didn't get it configured right | 01:49 |
| nickrud | klotho, no, only one step upgrades, except for lts->lts. The page explains | 01:49 |
| klotho | what's lts? | 01:49 |
| randy_ | nickrud: I think I have the right header/source yet I think I missed something. I told the compile my linux_dir was /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic and yet it still says version mismatch. It says my current kernal source is 2.6.24.6 | 01:49 |
| klotho | ok thanks | 01:49 |
| nickrud | klotho, long term support: 6.06 | 01:49 |

| nickrud | randy_, if you don't specify the header location, the config should use the headers that match the running kernel. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) to be sure you have the right ones | 01:50 |

| gogereaver | weed37 you will see something like xxxgb medum thats windows | 01:53 |
| ScottG | For some reason, when I press the volume control buttons that are on a pannel above my keyboard on my laptop, a little window pops up showing that the volume changed, but it doesnt actually change the volume. Does anyone know why it does this and/or how to fix it? | 01:53 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Actually, I was trying to verify the file path you typed to "interfaces" | 01:53 |
| gogereaver | weed37 you will know being you will see the windows files of course | 01:53 |

| mdg2 | Bunny_: Press the escape key, then press the "i" key and see if it goes into --INSERT-- | 02:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MakuseruSukotto, You will need to run livecd and repair grub, I assume dual drives and dual booting? | 02:08 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Nope, but I changed auth to auto | 02:08 |
| Hutch | gogereaver: i pulled the headset out of the usb converter, and that works fine although the volume even at full max is a little low | 02:08 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: so it says auto eth0 | 02:09 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: And it's doing something different now | 02:09 |

I'd like to use RAID5, hardware RAID not an option. can ubuntu desktop handle software RAID5 without a dramatic performance increase that people tell me about? | 02:14 |
| jrib | pyro2927: you just install the flashplugin-nonfree package | 02:14 |
| rdw200169 | Drace: the quickest way to figure out what partition is what is to use parted (sudo apt-get install parted) | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drace, sudo mkdir /media/locked-drive then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/locked-drive | 02:14 |
| zero-coo1 | good morning | 02:14 |

| mroc | rdw200169: the person on the other end probably isn't going to know how to do ssh. and i don't have the spare time to set up things and show them. | 03:03 |
| eseven73 | grendal_prime: that i dont know have you tried google for 'Thunar plugins'? | 03:03 |
| pyro2927 | jrib: under the advanced settings for 'animations' | 03:03 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Did you "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restat" | 03:03 |
| === Starnestommy is now known as sheep | ||
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yep | 03:03 |
| gonewestcoast | rdw200169: What's the Official Debian Way of starting the sshd server after it's installed, anyway? | 03:03 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: after you save the file with pan0 in it? | 03:03 |
| rdw200169 | mroc: ah, this is over the internet isn't it | 03:03 |
| smartguyz | rdw200169: much appreciated I really appreciate the support..... hooked on ubuntu even though I do not know everything about how it works... | 03:03 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yep | 03:03 |
| Flannel | gonewestcoast: It starts automatically once you install it, so... "wait" | 03:03 |
| rdw200169 | gonewestcoast: Flannel is correct | 03:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pyro2927, Are you trying to figure out animations like burn etc | 03:04 |
| gonewestcoast | Flannel: Please tell me you're kidding. | 03:04 |
| jrib | pyro2927: I can't find it either now. I know I had it on my laptop though. Maybe #compiz-fusion can tell you more | 03:04 |
| Flannel | gonewestcoast: No | 03:04 |
| mroc | rdw200169: well, probably. i was trying to figure out the easiest way. | 03:04 |
| grendal_prime | thunar archive plugin...there it is..thanks | 03:04 |
| gonewestcoast | So Ubuntu doesn't draw a distinction between "installed" and "running?" | 03:04 |
| Flannel | gonewestcoast: But, you can restart/stop/start etc it. | 03:04 |
| eseven73 | grendal_prime: cool :) | 03:04 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: back on the desktop, right click the networking icon in the menu bar | 03:04 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Ok | 03:04 |
| Flannel | gonewestcoast: Well, it does. It installs, and part of the post-install stuff is to start it | 03:04 |
| rdw200169 | gonewestcoast: that or, /etc/init.d/ssh start | 03:04 |
| gonewestcoast | Flannel: How, by calling /etc/rc.d/sshd stop? | 03:04 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: what does "connection information" show now? | 03:04 |
| Flannel | gonewestcoast: /etc/init.d/ssh stop | 03:04 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Still grey | 03:04 |
| gonewestcoast | Ah, they live in init.d here. Okay. | 03:04 |
| rdw200169 | gonewestcoast: yup, that's where the init scripts are hidden | 03:05 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: If you double left click - what happens | 03:05 |
| Flannel | gonewestcoast: Although, as of Intrepid theres something like "service ssh stop" | 03:05 |
| jrib | pyro2927: oh, in simple-ccsm, I click on "enable extra animations" and then it gives me the "burn" option | 03:05 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Single left click | 03:05 |
| smartguyz | rdw200169: been using youtube a lot for UBUNTU installation configurations, vbox, ect... | 03:05 |
| rdw200169 | Flannel: gonewestcoast, yeah, i'm using 8.04 so i don't know about 8.10, shouldn't be much different though | 03:05 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: In grey "Wired Network" "auto eth0" | 03:05 |
| gonewestcoast | Yeah, I'm used to the RedHat and FreeBSD ways of doing it, just haven't done much with Debian yet. | 03:05 |
| Flannel | rdw200169: The initd stuff still exists, there's just another abstraction | 03:05 |
| rdw200169 | smartguyz: you tube is good, but so is help.ubuntu.com | 03:05 |
| rdw200169 | Flannel: that's what i figured | 03:06 |
| mdg2 | Is there a little circle next to that? | 03:06 |
| rdw200169 | gonewestcoast: i really like the debian way of doing things ;) | 03:06 |
| jrib | pyro2927: and looks like "animations-addon" in ccsm | 03:06 |
| rdw200169 | smartguyz: the ubuntu website, and the ubuntu forums, is a huge wealth of information on all kinds of crazy things | 03:07 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yes, also greyed out | 03:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pyro2927 For Animations like Burning windows.. Open ccsm. Under Effects.. Enable Animations and Animations add-ons... Double click Animations.. You will see tabs for Open, Close, Minimize etc... On the tab marked Open Select.. New.. Where it says open Effect Select... Burn.. Set Duration to 150.. For Window Match.. Type (type=Normal | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Dialog | ModalDialog) | 03:07 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: No black dot in the circle? | 03:07 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: No | 03:07 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: try clicking on it | 03:07 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: the circle | 03:07 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Nothing | 03:07 |
| pyro2927 | Jack_Sparrow: Burn isnt listed anymore | 03:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yea it is | 03:08 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Do you get a menu option under that for "manual configuration?" | 03:08 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: No | 03:08 |
| rdw200169 | gonewestcoast: i'm working on a project that involves installing debian onto a soekris board for a embedded router solution | 03:08 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: I can do "edit connections" when I right click | 03:08 |

| Flannel | gambler: For a package in the repositories? or an arbitrary deb? | 03:16 |
| gambler | For an installed package | 03:16 |
| rdw200169 | mroc: double click on the speaker icon in your top menubar, and check preferences to make sure the headphones related switches/volume bars are checked | 03:16 |

| Flannel | gambler: So, from the repos? | 03:16 |
| gambler | Flannel: it was. Ive installed it now | 03:16 |
| rdw200169 | mroc: then make sure the volume is up or the switch is set correctly | 03:16 |

| ericjung | what's the best way to install ubuntu and Vista dual-boot without wubi? | 03:18 |
| mdg2 | Flannel: does apt-cache show package show only for specific repos like 8.04 if thats whats installed? | 03:18 |
| klotho | any pointers? | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !eol | 03:18 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 03:18 |
| mroc | rdw200169: not sure what "headphone related switches" translates to for me. the following are listed: IEC958, IEC958 Capture, IEC958 Default PCM, Analog Loopback, Digital Input Source | 03:18 |
| rdw200169 | mroc: just check all the options in preferences | 03:18 |
| wakest | so I just installed ubuntu on my macbook, but I didn't follow the instructions, and just installed it on a partition made by boot camp, with out first deleting /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 , is there anyway to fix the problem with out re installing? | 03:19 |
| klotho | not sure if this one got thru: I'm trying to upgrade to 7.04 and I keep getting http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] | 03:19 |
| Flannel | mdg2: It'll show whatever you currently have in your apt-cache | 03:19 |
| rdw200169 | mroc: then, under the switches tab, there might be a headphones check-box | 03:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | klotho, I think it is.. sudo do-release upgrade | 03:19 |
| Flannel | klotho: you're upgrading *to* 7.04 from 6.10? | 03:19 |
| ericjung | i want to install ubuntu and vista together dual-boot, but i don't want to use WUBI because i want to be able to hibernate Ubuntu. What's the best way? | 03:19 |
| klotho | Flannel: yes | 03:19 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: well, first you've got to shrink the vista partition | 03:20 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: to make some space to install ubuntu | 03:20 |
| mdg2 | Flannel: can apt-cache search querry specifically 8.04 repos? | 03:20 |
| Flannel | klotho: oh right. I could've figured that out on my own. You need to change your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ then follow the upgrade instructions here: | 03:20 |
| ericjung | rdw200169: already done | 03:20 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | klotho | 03:20 |
| ubottu | klotho: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 03:20 |
| klotho | Flannel: how do I change the repos? | 03:20 |
| Flannel | klotho: edit your sources.list | 03:20 |
| Flannel | mdg2: You may be interested in packages.ubuntu.com | 03:20 |
| klotho | Flannel: cool, where is that? | 03:20 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: then just install normally, i believe grub will boot vista normally via the chainloader | 03:20 |
| Flannel | klotho: /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:20 |
| mdg2 | Flannel: Thanks! going there now. | 03:21 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: though i don't know for sure because I haven't done it personally | 03:21 |
| klotho | Flannel: grrreat! | 03:21 |
| ericjung | rdw200169: install vista or ubuntu first? | 03:21 |
| Meshezabeel | why when setting a static ip in ubuntu, the dhcp always comes back on a reboot? | 03:21 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: the ubuntu installer should find the empty space, and by default install there | 03:21 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: vista first | 03:21 |
| mroc | rdw200169: well, the new things i check show up, but nothing called headphones still. checked them all off, all volume is up, doesn't appear to give me headphones sound. | 03:21 |
| rdw200169 | ericjung: otherwise you end up with this: | 03:21 |
| rdw200169 | !grub | ericjung | 03:21 |
| ubottu | ericjung: 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 | 03:21 |
| rdw200169 | mroc: i don't know then... :( | 03:21 |

| ericjung | ok | 03:22 |
| Hikeractive | how i use the sleep command in sessions to delay mail-notification from starting immediately? Is it just appname sleep x? | 03:23 |
| klotho | Flannel: just add a deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ line at the top of the file? | 03:23 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Anything good happening? | 03:23 |
| Flannel | klotho: No, change all of the http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lines to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 03:23 |
| WetWired_ALUG | Anyone know how to keep your display from turning off? It's not going to screensaver, it's like it's going to sleep. Highly annoying. Nothing I've tried has helped. | 03:24 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: I just tried sudo lshw -c network...It shows my ethernet card there, then pan0. The ethernet card network says DISABLED, pan0 does not | 03:24 |
| rdw200169 | Meshezabeel: is dhcp set in your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 03:24 |
| klotho | Flannel: cool, thanks | 03:24 |
| rich_ | WetWired_ALUG, add acpi=no to your grub config | 03:24 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Logical name for the ethernet says eth0 | 03:24 |
| WetWired_ALUG | grub config? really? I didn't figure it'd be in there | 03:25 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: What kind of computer is this? | 03:25 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Desktop | 03:25 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: What brand etc. | 03:25 |
| rdw200169 | Meshezabeel: it's either there, or something to do with NetworkManager | 03:25 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: No brand, I made it myself | 03:25 |
| wakest | would anyone be willing to help me for a sec with an installation issue on a macbook? | 03:25 |
| bullgard4 | What are chroots? As in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html. (Up to now I only know a chroot command.) | 03:25 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: WOW :) | 03:25 |
| rich_ | quit | 03:25 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: I'm not stupid, I just have no idea how Linux operates :P | 03:26 |
| Meshezabeel | rdw200169: I believe so, the machines are at work though, so not sure, but in networkmanager, we take out the dhcp setting, and replace it with a manual setting, and once the machines are rebooted, the dhcp comes back | 03:26 |
| rdw200169 | Bunny_: did you manufacture the boards too? (hah, joke, kidding) | 03:26 |
| rdw200169 | Meshezabeel: then it's likely in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:26 |
| Hikeractive | how i use the sleep command in sessions to delay mail-notification from starting immediately? Is it just appname sleep x? | 03:26 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Though I know Windows inside and out lol | 03:26 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: In a terminal type "dmesg" | 03:26 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: may need you for windows at work :) | 03:26 |
| wakest | please? | 03:27 |
| rdw200169 | Meshezabeel: the /etc/init.d/network script takes that configuration file for setting up the network; that's where you put static settings, read the man page: man interfaces | 03:27 |
| bork | ALSA won't stop when shutting down -- any ideas why this is? | 03:27 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: dmesg wrote two tons of stuff in my terminal | 03:27 |
| klotho | flannel: how about the lines that say security.ubuntu.com? | 03:27 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: shift + page up to scroll back up - looking for network card stuff | 03:27 |
| Flannel | klotho: Those go to old-releases as well | 03:27 |
| klotho | btw, this file doesn't have cc.whatever only archive.whatever | 03:27 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Specific text? | 03:28 |
| Flannel | klotho: that's fine. "cc." can be missing | 03:28 |
| klotho | requiring users to edit files to upgrade is kinda dum | 03:28 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: You are looking for pan0 and eth0 | 03:28 |
| klotho | why move things? | 03:28 |
| klotho | Flannel: thanks a bunch! | 03:29 |
| Flannel | klotho: Er... Had you upgraded while Edgy was suported, you wouldn't have to. | 03:29 |
| rdw200169 | wakest: i read your problem earlier, but i've got nothing | 03:29 |
| Flannel | klotho: As is, Edgy has been unsupported for almosta year now. | 03:29 |
| Bllasae | How do you transfer profiles from Windows to Ubuntu? | 03:29 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: What kind of network card did you put in this computer? | 03:29 |
| klotho | Flannel: thing is, you can't assume users will upgrade, and those who don't are probably less linux savvy,so there's no reason to make things more difficult | 03:30 |
| runner23 | got a weird issue I've never had before on ubuntu.... total OS lockup while opening a file | 03:30 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: SiS900 on-board | 03:30 |
| Flannel | klotho: If you use update-manager, you'd get notifications about Feisty being released, and a suggestion to upgrade (for a year about, before edgy went EOL) | 03:30 |
| klotho | Flannel: I have no argument with you at all. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to change things so that they break if you don't have to | 03:31 |
| Flannel | klotho: And also, Edgy's repos stayed online for around 4 months after it was EOL (in the same place). In the future, you may wish to stick with the LTS releases, which you only need to upgrade once every few years. | 03:31 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Finding anything in dmesg? | 03:31 |
| Flannel | klotho: Not broken. But the errors from getting packages is a good way to indicate to people that they need to figure out "whats wrong" instead of them blindly running insecure versions | 03:32 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: You got another network card you can throw in there? | 03:32 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2 nope | 03:32 |
| Bllasae | How do you transfer profiles from Windows to Ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Will this computer be dual booting? | 03:32 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2 nope | 03:33 |
| klotho | Flannel: my grandmother or girlfriend would never figure it out. | 03:33 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: That makes it easier | 03:33 |
| runner23 | Bllasae did you install on same HD? If so Ubuntu asked me on first boot if I want to copy contents of profiles folders | 03:33 |
| klotho | in fact, I looked around online and didn't find anything | 03:33 |
| klotho | so unless someone knows to come here, they seem to be SOL | 03:34 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: BTW, you can type "dmesg | less" and use page up/down | 03:34 |
| Bllasae | I asked me but the folder wasn't there | 03:34 |
| Flannel | klotho: Then they'd never realise they need to upgrade, and never try to upgrade either. They'd still be running Edgy, which has the ssl random number problem, etc. | 03:34 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: You can also use edit to search for pan0 | 03:34 |
| nickrud | klotho, can't argue about that; why not add/check brainstorm for a better way to inform people | 03:34 |
| klotho | Flannel: they'd realize they need an upgrade because the system tells you to upgrade and shows that there's a 7.04 upgrade availabe, but then when you try it breaks | 03:34 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Here's what's strange to me.... | 03:35 |
| runner23 | You've looked in your home folder? | 03:35 |
| Flannel | klotho: I suggest after you upgrade to 7.04, you upgrade to 7.10 then 8.04. And stop there. In a few years, you'll be able to upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04 (and you have until 11.04 to do so before the desktop stuffs go out of support) | 03:35 |
| ld50 | I have a PC with internet and I would like to share the conection with two PC's, PC-A has gentoo, PC-B has ubunto; both can ping the gateway, but only PC-A has internet, both route -n outputs are the same, any idea? | 03:35 |

| Flannel | klotho: No, For *a year* of the system telling them there's an upgrde it was in the same location it was in, and they wouldn't have had to do anything but click "Upgrade" | 03:35 |
| ll | Hi, thank you to whoever gave me the pointer to some help pages for Mythbuntu. However I am somewhat of a Ubuntu newbie and I tried to fix my problem before coming here. And the pages are interesting and helpful, but I can't figure out what I need to do. My problem is during the MythTV Setup. I've checked the /etc/mythtv/mythtv mysql.txt file and the problem doesn't seem to be the password. I am unable to get past the "Database Configuration" | 03:35 |
| ll | . I have manuall started mysql. When I start the MythTV Backend Setup it asks if it ok to stop any previously running processes. Could the problem be that mysql is also stopped at that time?? | 03:35 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: So pan0 shows an inet addr, but when you querry hardware it shows eth0 right? | 03:36 |
| klotho | Flannel: I'm still getting errors on upgrade with it looking for security.etc. I double checked that file and every line is edited with old-sources. anything else I should check? | 03:36 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yes | 03:36 |
| Flannel | ll: You may have more luck in #ubuntu-mythtv | 03:36 |
| Gemmie78 | Hello | 03:36 |
| ll | ah, thank you Flannel. | 03:36 |
| Flannel | klotho: You need to move security to old-releases too | 03:36 |
| bullgard4 | What are chroots? As in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html. (Up to now I only know a chroot command.) | 03:37 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Did you see anything in dmesg about pan0 and eth0? | 03:37 |
| klotho | Flannel: is that another file? I did change those lines in sources.list | 03:37 |
| Gemmie78 | I've recently downloaded Banshee Music Player and would like to use that as my default music player | 03:37 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, chroots are the environment you are in when you chroot. | 03:37 |
| Gemmie78 | I've selected it as my preferred multimedia application in preferred applications, but when I open an mp3 file, totem still loads | 03:38 |
| Flannel | klotho: Check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for files | 03:38 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. | 03:38 |
| Gemmie78 | What can I do to correct the issue | 03:38 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yes. "pan0: no IPv6 routers present" | 03:38 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: that's normal - mine shows that - I don't use IPv6 | 03:38 |
| klotho | Flannel: it does have some files in it | 03:38 |
| roger_ | right click mp3 file and select properties, then open with add or select banshee | 03:38 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, always a pleasure to see you | 03:38 |
| Flannel | klotho: Check those files for similar things. | 03:38 |
| Gemmie78 | Will I need to do this with all mp3 files? | 03:38 |
| ld50 | can i configure my network with manually ifconfig/route/resolv.conf or ubuntu has some process that manages this? | 03:38 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: You are looking for "Link up" with pan0 or eth0 | 03:39 |
| roger_ | no, just 1 | 03:39 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: BTW, if you use "dmesg | less" you can search by typing "/eth0" | 03:39 |
| usser | ld50: yea sure you can do it, if u modify interfaces file ubuntu's network manager will just ignore that interface | 03:39 |
| klotho | Flannel: thanks again | 03:39 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: I'm still learning linux | 03:39 |
| maddash | hi. i'm getting a lot weird messages in dmesg|less: "PM: Removing info for No Bus:XXXXX" where XXXXX ranges from "event7", "input0", and "usbdev..." | 03:39 |
| Gemmie78 | Thank you roger_ | 03:39 |
| nickrud | ld50, you can; ubuntu has 2 major methods: /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager | 03:40 |
| maddash | what exactly is "PM"? | 03:40 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: :-) | 03:40 |
| roger_ | did that work for you Gemmie78 | 03:40 |
| ld50 | nickrud, usser thanks | 03:40 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd000, IRQ 5, 00:00:00:00:00:00 | 03:40 |
| [Muel]Eliot | Were can i get help for installing a program? | 03:41 |
| nickrud | [Muel]Eliot, depends on the program and where you got it | 03:41 |
| Gemmie78 | That worked perfectly | 03:41 |
| Gemmie78 | You solved this issue in the first go, thanks | 03:41 |
| roger_ | np | 03:41 |
| YankDownUnder | [Muel]Eliot, What do you need to know? | 03:41 |
| [Muel]Eliot | http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ | 03:41 |
| Gemmie78 | Just too easy for you | 03:42 |
| [Muel]Eliot | dunno how to install it | 03:42 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: So your Sis900 is seen and configure as eth0, but no inet addr there | 03:42 |
| klotho | Flannel: hmm.. now it's giving me some errors like Failed to fetch http://old-sources.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) | 03:42 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Yup | 03:42 |
| YankDownUnder | [Muel]Eliot, Is is a program in the repos? | 03:42 |
| saera | hi anyone know how to send a fax using an eee pc on ubuntu 8.10 ? | 03:42 |
| Gemmie78 | I want to also know 2 more things, Firefox and Opera, what are the browsers that you folks are using? | 03:42 |
| [Muel]Eliot | YankDownUnder, dont think so | 03:42 |
| Flannel | klotho: Oh, it's old-releases not old-sources, and I don't think there's any commercial component there, just go ahead and comment (#) that line out | 03:42 |
| YankDownUnder | Firefox | 03:42 |
| roger_ | both | 03:42 |
| YankDownUnder | [Muel]Eliot, Well, what is the program you want to install? | 03:43 |
| axelhm | hello. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and the gnome desktop. the command ctrl+alt+F(1-6) does nothing while I'm logged into gnome. but it does go to the fullscreen terminal when I am on the gdm login screen. ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work either. | 03:43 |
| nickrud | [Muel]Eliot, that looks like a sample program, written to use specific chip sets; do you have the ones mentioned on the page? | 03:43 |
| klotho | Flannel: do I have to change everything to releases? | 03:43 |
| [Muel]Eliot | http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ | 03:43 |
| Gemmie78 | I'm currently running in a fairly weak notebook and want to try and maximise whatever performance I have out of this machine | 03:43 |
| [Muel]Eliot | I have no clue, uhm how can i tell? | 03:43 |
| Flannel | klotho: old-sources shouldn't work as far as I know. it's old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 03:43 |
| Gemmie78 | Should I stick with firefox, or is it true Opera is more leaner on resources | 03:43 |
| nickrud | [Muel]Eliot, note the dates on the changelog as well. Something like that is probably non-funtional now. and either lspci or lsusb will show the wireless chip | 03:43 |
| eseven73 | opera is leaner | 03:43 |
| MK13 | both browsers have their ups and down | 03:43 |
| klotho | flannel: not canonical.com? | 03:43 |
| Gemmie78 | Secondly, do you all stick with evolution as your default email client or do you use thunderbird | 03:43 |
| YankDownUnder | [Muel]Eliot, Er...without me opening a browser, what can you tell me about the program - and have you looked to see if someone's converted it to a DEB for Ubuntu? | 03:44 |
| axelhm | did someone see my post? :x | 03:44 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: Am reading a post at ubuntuforums.com about Sis900 | 03:44 |
| klotho | Flannel: do I edit the commercial sources? they were .canonical.com | 03:44 |
| Bllasae | I found my firefox folder but what do i do with my profiles folder? | 03:44 |
| YankDownUnder | [Muel]Eliot, Er...just looked for a grin...what you'd need to do is to get all the dependencies to compile it on your own matey | 03:45 |
| Flannel | klotho: Just remove them. comment them out | 03:45 |
| [Muel]Eliot | christ guys i dont know what im doing lol | 03:45 |
| [Muel]Eliot | i got this out of terminal | 03:45 |
| [Muel]Eliot | http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ | 03:45 |
| [Muel]Eliot | fucl | 03:45 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78, I use thunderbird, better imap support | 03:45 |
| [Muel]Eliot | didnt coppy soryr | 03:45 |
| FloodBot2 | [Muel]Eliot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:45 |
| Flannel | [Muel]Eliot: Please watch your language. | 03:45 |
| Gemmie78 | Finally is there a way to find out your exact hardware stats in ubuntu | 03:45 |
| Jonatha1 | wow. | 03:45 |
| MK13 | windows 7 is taking forever to install :( | 03:45 |
| Flannel | MK13: Please keep this channel ontopic, thanks. | 03:45 |
| [Muel]Eliot | 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) | 03:45 |
| maddash | rofl | 03:45 |
| YankDownUnder | Windows 7 is nothing but Vista redone | 03:45 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78, try sudo lspci | less for real details | 03:45 |
| Bllasae | Why does Firefox say "No programs that contain bookmarks, history or password data could be found"???????????? | 03:46 |
| axelhm | my post got flooded away :x. may I post it again? | 03:46 |
| Bllasae | I copied the folder to the desktop | 03:46 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78, erm, sudo lshw | less I mean | 03:46 |
| Jonatha1 | Can I get help in here on a certain problem involving my package manager? | 03:46 |
| MK13 | i am on topic, it is running in virtual machine one ubuntu ;) | 03:46 |
| Bllasae | How does Firefox know that there isn't anything in it | 03:46 |
| Gemmie78 | Just a basic hardware information check, I've tried the hardware info check, but I just | 03:46 |
| heirrook | i have a nanorc file in /etc/ and it will not work. For some strange reason, when I open the file nanorc with nano, then the options i have in nanorc apply? | 03:46 |
| MK13 | on* | 03:46 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: No solution to that post, but he had pan0 showing as well | 03:46 |
| Flannel | axelhm: Every 15-25 minutes is a good rate of repeat. | 03:46 |
| Vantrax | YankDownUnder, Windows 7's version number is 6.1, vista was 6 | 03:46 |
| Gemmie78 | just type that in terminal? | 03:46 |
| nickrud | Jonatha1, possibly, ask away | 03:46 |
| axelhm | Flannel, ok thanks | 03:46 |
| Jonatha1 | kk | 03:46 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78, yes. Page up/down to scroll | 03:46 |
| Gemmie78 | Only need to just doublecheck ram, and spec of cpu | 03:47 |
| Flannel | axelhm: I'd check launchpad bug reports, we've had a few instances of that not happening. If you need to get to a TTY from gnome, you can use sudo chvt # (where # is 1-6) | 03:47 |
| Jonatha1 | I got this from my terminal when I run apt-get | 03:47 |
| Jonatha1 | Reading package lists... Error! | 03:47 |
| Jonatha1 | E: Encountered a section with no Package: header | 03:47 |

| Gemmie78 | sudo lshw | 03:47 |
| Flannel | Jonatha1: don't use hardy-proposed | 03:47 |
| YankDownUnder | Vantrax, Should be still re-numbered to more like 1.1b | 03:47 |

| MakuseruSukotto | Hi, i recently installed 8.10, and when ever i go to boot up it gets to where it loads the grub and then it says "Error 17" and i cannot input anything after that. What causes this and how can i fix it? | 03:47 |
| MK13 | any here use ubuntu on an acer by any chance? | 03:47 |
| Bunny_ | mdg2: Guess they'll get around to it in six months? lol | 03:47 |
| klotho | Flannel: do you want to rewrite your sources.list anyway? should I say yes? | 03:47 |
| Flannel | klotho: please pastebin your sources.list (and the contents of the other ones) | 03:47 |
| [Muel]Eliot | MK13, yes, my brother has an acer aspire 7720 with ubuntu working fine on it. | 03:48 |
| Jonatha1 | what you mean by hardy-proposed? | 03:48 |
| klotho | Flannel: I said yes and it seems happy at the moment | 03:48 |
| runner23 | Anyone ever heard of hard lockups on Ubuntu 8.10? Starts with app thats open, then Menus and then mouse will finally quit working after about 60 seconds after logging in. | 03:48 |
| Flannel | Jonatha1: You've enabled the -proposed repositories for hardy. Disable them. You don't want to have them enabled | 03:48 |
| klotho | Flannel: oops. no it's not | 03:48 |
| Jonatha1 | ahh | 03:48 |
| nickrud | Jonatha1, system->admin->software sources, find proposed, and uncheck it | 03:48 |
| Jonatha1 | well how do I disable them? | 03:48 |
| jigpe | hello how to install a game.tar.gz?its a game.i wanna play it in desktop ubuntu 8.04 | 03:48 |

| nickrud | Jonatha1, it may be named as testing repository or similar verbiage | 03:49 |
| MK13 | does that acer have a button for wifi, or a switch? | 03:49 |
| Jonatha1 | in software sources? | 03:49 |

| CITguy-Hermes | anybody had issues with gnome-app-install not showing any apps? | 03:51 |

| Jonatha1 | thanks guys | 03:54 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | hello | 03:54 |
| Vantrax | jigpe, is there a folder with .deb files in it | 03:54 |
| Gemmie78 | Despite selecting the correct time server, my time is incorrect unless I select the UTC checkbox in the settings | 03:54 |
| Gemmie78 | doing so, I get the correct time in the top right corner of my screen | 03:54 |
| mdg2 | Bunny_: I found a post that might work | 03:54 |
| Gemmie78 | however for applications, it still believes the incorrect time, not my local time | 03:54 |
| Gemmie78 | Any ideas? | 03:54 |

| Kristopher | does the ubuntu live cd have a partition manager (to resize and create partitions) ? | 03:56 |
| portz | Kristopher: yes | 03:56 |
| eseven73 | jigpe: wait, you're gonna need to do more than extract that tar to get an icon... is there like an 'install.sh' file? | 03:56 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: Yes, Gnome Partition Manager (gparted) | 03:56 |
| jigpe | Vantrax : no .deb | 03:56 |
| Kristopher | thanks - but i tried the gparted live cd and that wasn't displaying properly, so i couldn't use it. might the ubuntu one work better? | 03:57 |
| runner23 | @Vantrax I'm at root shell prompt and it keeps telling me var/log/ isn't a valid directory and trying to change to / is ignored | 03:57 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: It may, yes. | 03:57 |
| bork | my computer's sound works in Windows (so there is no hardware problem, probably), but it's started only making a crackling noise in Ubuntu... any ideas? | 03:57 |
| matt | I may have gotten in over my head. I sorta promised a friend and her mom that I could put their house on craigslist and ebay, which is no big deal. I also mentioned that I'd probably be able to create "360's" of the rooms in their house. I remember seeing something about software that does this in linux. Anyone know what it'd be called? | 03:57 |
| klotho | Flannel: cool, thanks! trying it again | 03:57 |
| jigpe | eseven73 : nope there is no install.sh | 03:57 |
| eseven73 | jigpe: usually there's a doc directory you should see, if so, then go into that directory and view the help files | 03:57 |

| portz | .bik, .exe, .cab | 04:02 |
| runner23 | @Bllasae check the extension settings and see if they have a export feature | 04:02 |
| portz | I tried copying a CD to my disk, but want it gone. | 04:02 |
| CITguy-Hermes | with Intrepid, is there a reason why I don't see any applications in the "Add/Remove" application? | 04:02 |
| ltgg | anyone? | 04:02 |
| Flannel | portz: can you create files in the same directory? | 04:02 |
| Flannel | !helpme | ltgg | 04:02 |
| ubottu | ltgg: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 04:02 |
| klotho | Flannel: do the command line upgrade? but it says that's less reliable | 04:03 |
| opera | !Live CD | 04:03 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 04:03 |
| Vantrax | runner23, try to do a locate on the logs to find the path, i thought /var/logs was right | 04:03 |
| MK13 | herme: i dont have that problem with Intrepic | 04:03 |
| klotho | Flannel: there must be a way to get upgrade tool to realize what mirror to use, no? | 04:03 |
| portz | Flan: Gimme a sec | 04:03 |
| ltgg | problem is I NEVER get an answer here ... don't know why I bother! | 04:03 |
| Flannel | klotho: I'll walk you through it. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop linux-generic && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:03 |
| runner23 | @Vantrax it is but in recovery mode I couldn't get to them, I had to boot off the live cd, trying to figure out which log file it is | 04:04 |
| sektor1952 | has anyone seen this issue when running make menuconfig or even make oldconfig file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned? | 04:04 |
| Vantrax | ltgg, try getting your question on one line and having everything needed in the one request | 04:04 |
| portz | Flannel: Both options (Create folder, document) are grayed out | 04:04 |
| Flannel | klotho: once you've done that (and restarted to make sure you're on the most recent kernel), go back to your sources.list, change the edgy to feisty (all three) then do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then you'll be upgrading to Feisty. | 04:04 |
| Vantrax | ltgg, the forums are also very effective for getting help | 04:04 |
| klotho | Flannel: this has me worried: Please note - this method is less reliable. If you use this method, you MUST be prepared to fix problems manually, such as packages being unexpectedly removed, apt crashing unexpectedly, etc. Using Update Manager (see above) is likely to be much less problematic. | 04:04 |
| Flannel | portz: then you can use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades | 04:04 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | ...anyone known how to change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ??? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | klotho: Don't worry about it. | 04:05 |
| Flannel | klotho: Those "worries" we've taken care of with the previous few commands | 04:05 |
| portz | Flannel: Gutsy Gibbon? For -what-, exactly? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | portz: What? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | Oh, sorry. | 04:05 |
| klotho | Flannel: what's &&? | 04:06 |
| sektor1952 | hello? | 04:06 |
| portz | No worries, Flan. I know you're busy. | 04:06 |
| Flannel | klotho: once you've upgraded to Feisty, you can use this guide to get to Gutsy (this one should go smooother): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades | 04:06 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <sektor1952> hello | 04:06 |
| Flannel | klotho: command1 && command2 will do command2 if command1 exits successfully | 04:06 |
| runner23 | whats the paste link again? Have a few log lines need to paste | 04:06 |
| Flannel | runner23: paste.ubuntu.com | 04:07 |
| Bllasae | how can i force quit a program | 04:07 |
| sektor1952 | adrian2Mil8: have you seen the issue I mentioned when try to config a kernel before compiling? | 04:07 |
| Bllasae | like ctrl+Alt+delete? | 04:07 |
| sektor1952 | kill | 04:07 |
| portz | Bll > System > Admin > System Monitor | 04:07 |
| portz | Just like Task Manager | 04:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Bllasae: it is easiest to add the kill program to the panel | 04:07 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <sektor1952> no , i don't see anything | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | err ehh force quit | 04:08 |
| dal_work | hi all, a friend of mine recently installed ubuntu 8.10 via the wubi installer, and has since ran out of disk space on the root partition leading to all kinds of nastiness. He wants to shift some free space from other partitions on that drive to the ubuntu root partition and my first thought was to fire up a live cd and use gparted to resize his partitions but wubi appears to have done something strange and I can't see the ubuntu partition | 04:08 |
| dal_work | to resize, I can only see his two ntfs partitions and what appears to be a vender recovery partition (it's a laptop)...anyone have any ideas on how to transfer some free space from his windows partition to the ubuntu space (whether it is a partition or not I dont' really know at this stage)? | 04:08 |
| Ayande^ | !root | 04:08 |
| klotho | Flannel: ok, thanks. I'm trying it. but why do you think upgrade tool is broken? | 04:08 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | then you click the little force quit button and click the window to kill | 04:08 |
| Flannel | klotho: Because it wasn't updates to handle the old-releases stuff | 04:08 |
| Vantrax | dal_work, wubi doesnt have a partition | 04:08 |
| sektor1952 | Adrian2Mil8: this issue when running make menuconfig or even make oldconfig file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned? | 04:08 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <sektor1952> i think what this is not the right place for get help | 04:08 |
| Ayande^ | how do i open filebroweser from command? | 04:08 |

| Cpudan80 | Is there a way to tell network manager to use a particular wifi driver? | 04:12 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: what doesn't exist? | 04:12 |
| Bllasae | the files | 04:12 |
| Bllasae | I can't find them in that folder | 04:12 |

| uzair | hi all, can someone help on using linux as a server | 04:12 |
| ryanCH | how do install more, Window Themes .. there is no import button in the Windows style area??? | 04:13 |
| Bllasae | I'm restarting the computer anyways I'll tell if it works | 04:13 |
| klotho | uzair: what do you want to do? | 04:13 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: are you looking for the hidden files as well? | 04:13 |
| Bllasae | i don't know anymore | 04:13 |
| Bllasae | I'm restarting the computer now | 04:13 |
| eseven73 | uzair: #ubuntu-server might be of more help | 04:13 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: they are hidden files and if they are there restarting won't help | 04:13 |
| uzair | klotho, basically i wanted to setup a relatively basic file/mail/authentication server on ubuntu hardy | 04:13 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | anyone known how to change the envyng config from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ??? | 04:13 |
| runner23 | @Vantrax http://paste.ubuntu.com/104681/ <== thats last session from messagees log file... I have a feeling its because I left my COD:WAW disk in the drive after switching from Windows Install | 04:14 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: go to the folder in the shell and run: ls -al | 04:14 |
| uzair | oh, i'll keep that in mind, but since klotho asked, i'll see if he can help | 04:14 |
| pronto | Adrian2MiL8: yes, download the .bin from nvidias site and stop gdm and then run the file | 04:14 |
| klotho | uzair: I was just curious... | 04:14 |
| uzair | klotho, ahh, if you can help that'd be great, if not, np i'll head on over to ubuntu-server | 04:14 |
| naknomik | I want to find out which particular package will provide a specific file, the package is not installed yet, is it possible through apt-cache search? This is sort of like rpm -q --what-provides query | 04:14 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | pronto > i ask for change the envyng configuration and what envy make the update not i by hand | 04:15 |
| Bllasae | miranda_psi:What?! | 04:15 |
| pronto | Adrian2MiL8: oh sorry didnt see you were using envyng . don't know about that | 04:15 |
| pronto | i just install the drivers from the .bin you get at nvidia site | 04:16 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: can you make your question more specific please - what are you saying what to? | 04:16 |
| Flannel | naknomik: you use apt-file for that | 04:16 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | pronto > ok don't worry but thanks for answer | 04:16 |
| sektor1952 | pronto can you assist me with my issue? | 04:16 |
| pyro2927 | jrib: it seems officially fucked up | 04:16 |
| Bllasae | shell? ls -al? | 04:16 |
| Flannel | pyro2927: Please watch your language | 04:16 |
| mDemocritus | k9copy hangs at 32 percent of ripping a dvd. any idea where i should start? | 04:17 |

| pyro2927 | Flannel: sorry. wont happen again. didn't know it wasnt allowed here | 04:17 |
| portz | Force deleting a locked file that I can't change permissions to, anyone? | 04:17 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: shell - terminal command line (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), ls -al is a command saying to show all files in the detailed format | 04:18 |
| eseven73 | pyro2927: it shoudlnt be allowed anywhere if you ask me. | 04:18 |
| MK13 | is there a way to make a live cd of the Ubuntu on the hard drive? | 04:18 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | pronto , i have the new 181 .bin but i installed the 173 version with envyng and i believe what there is a posibility from a problem if i upgrade now by hand | 04:18 |
| DiiPhantom | anyone knows the ndiswrapper driver list website? | 04:18 |
| pronto | Adrian2MiL8: i have no idea, i've always installed the drivers by hand, and i'm running 180.22 | 04:18 |
| Bllasae | command not found | 04:18 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | pronto > yes , sorry 180.22 i was say not 181 , 181 is on windows | 04:19 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: did you put a space between the 'ls' and the '-al'? | 04:19 |
| dal_ | Vantrax, sorry, link died for a second there. Did you know of a way of transferring free space into that virtual partition from its host real ntfs partition or would it just be easier to try something like lvpm to give the ubuntu install a real partition of its own (assuming lvpm works with 8.10, all references to it that I can find only mention 8.04 as the latest tested version) | 04:20 |
| Bllasae | miranda_psi: Alright, got it | 04:20 |
| Bllasae | What do I do now? | 04:20 |
| leohartx | anyone here play battleforwesnoth ? | 04:20 |
| modjor | hi | 04:20 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: did you run it in you firefox profile directory? | 04:21 |
| Overand | Is there amore efficient way to use an X app remotely, across a lan, than SSH forwarding? | 04:21 |
| pronto | Adrian2MiL8: my guess would be to uninstall envyng, that should work, though i'm not 100% sure what envyng does, since i have never used it | 04:21 |
| Bllasae | miranda-psi | 04:21 |
| Bllasae | No clue | 04:21 |
| Overand | My workstation - the "X server" - is a very, very thin machine, and the server with the apps I want is much more robust | 04:21 |
| Bllasae | I'm uninstalling FF and then reinstalling it | 04:21 |
| portz | Well, guess I should have read the help file first. I'm off. | 04:22 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: did you just put that command in straight after opening the terminal? | 04:22 |
| neil_d | hi I have a chroot directory setup (with rsync in it)... if I "chroot <dir>" then execute "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" everything goes as planed :) but if I execute the command.... chroot <dir> "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" I get the error chroot: cannot run command ... no such file or directory :( what am I doing wrong here ? | 04:22 |
| Bllasae | miranda_psi: from the desktop, yes | 04:22 |
| rdw200169 | neil_d: well, is rsync in the chroot? | 04:22 |
| runner23 | ping Vantrax you fall asleep 8-) | 04:23 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: to get to the directory use the 'cd' command (e.g. cd .mozzila/firefox/) you can use tab to auto-complete | 04:23 |
| neil_d | rdw200169: yes, and tested. | 04:23 |
| bullgard4 | On my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software > Downloadable from the Internet > Source code is not checked. What would I gain if I checked this button? | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: the ability to download the source code | 04:24 |
| dal_ | the ability to download the source version of software packages already available in synaptic | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: 99% of ubuntu users don't need that | 04:24 |
| runner23 | @bullgard4 nothing unless you want to complie apps on your own | 04:24 |
| Barridus | hi all, can i modify the pc speaker system beep to play an actual sound file? i don't want to disable it but it's driving me nuts. | 04:24 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: when you are in the firefox directory run 'ls -al lock .parentlock' | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | Barridus: I believe ALSA can redirect the beep | 04:25 |
| Bllasae | Why can't this be like windows | 04:25 |
| Bllasae | Without the commands and crap | 04:25 |
| rdw200169 | Bllasae: go use Mac OS then, it's mostly open source, and doesn't require a terminal | 04:26 |
| klotho | or like mac with everything hidden? | 04:26 |
| Bllasae | I hate Macs | 04:26 |
| Flannel | Bllasae: Because Linux isn't Windows. You can navigate directories and modify files graphically though. | 04:26 |
| tritium | Bllasae: I'd hate to lose all that flexibility and power | 04:26 |
| Bllasae | If anything, I'd stick with Windows | 04:26 |
| rdw200169 | Bllasae: then go do that! | 04:26 |
| Barridus | rdw200169, how is that accomplished? i don't see anything obvious in the sounds control panel, and google searches have been lacking | 04:26 |
| Bllasae | tritium: So far, I haven't experienced anything good, really, with Ubuntu | 04:26 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: I do not believe you. I can download now source code using the 'sudo apt-get source <name_of_DEB_package>' command. | 04:27 |
| klotho | I thought ubuntu was supposed to be getting more maclike in terms of not requiring command line or config file editing | 04:27 |
| fdsfs | other way around | 04:27 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: then the source lines are in your sources.list file | 04:27 |
| tritium | Bllasae: I have. Far more, in fact, than I ever could on Windows. | 04:27 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: you could also go through nautilus as well - just make it harder for you to find the files im looking for | 04:27 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: why are you so worried about it anyway? | 04:27 |
| * runner23 slaps Bllasae around a bit with a large trout | 04:27 | |
| neil_d | rdw200169: found the problem... not meant to use the quotes | 04:28 |
| rdw200169 | Barridus: it's a rather obscure feature, if i'm not mistaken, that or it's in pulseaudio, i can't remember | 04:28 |
| Barridus | OS arguments make children sad to be alive | 04:28 |
| Bllasae | lol | 04:28 |
| klotho | fdsfs: mac is getting more linux-like and will require command line and config file editing? | 04:28 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: I like to understand better the programs which I am using. | 04:28 |
| Bllasae | I just caused a temporal rift in my toolbar when I completely removed Firefox | 04:28 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: well, the source code system is rather simple, in terms of how you get it, in your sources.list file (/etc/apt) there are both deb lines and deb-src lines | 04:29 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: if there are uncommented lines for deb-src, then you can download the source code from the applicably uncommented repositories | 04:29 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: apt update downloades the packages.gz files for ea. repo, and thus it knows where to download stuff from, which is directly related to sources.list | 04:30 |
| Bllasae | miranda_psi: Parentlock doesn't exist | 04:30 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: if you comment the lines for deb-src and perform a apt-get update, you won't be able to download source code anymore | 04:31 |
| tritium | Bllasae: use Dan's Guardian | 04:31 |
| nazdreg | I'm a first time user, and have a problem with installing Ubuntu Server 8.10 - is this the right forum ? | 04:31 |
| klotho | what's an evolution data server, and do I need it? | 04:31 |
| Bllasae | ? | 04:31 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: is this from looking in nautilus? if so make sure you have show hidden files selected | 04:31 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: I think that not only the file /etc/apt/sources.list is relevant but files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory reflect in the System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software also. | 04:32 |
| Bllasae | wtf is nautilus | 04:32 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: of course, i was describing the simplest way possible | 04:32 |
| Omoikane_ | I have two beefs with Ubuntu! My mute button stopped working and no one seems to know why and for some reason my firefox bookmarks keeps messing up how firefox is displayed. I have to go through and remove each bookmark until it works again. | 04:32 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: of course sources.list.d is included | 04:32 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: the file system browser (similar to windows explorer) | 04:32 |
| tritium | Bllasae: it's like the windows file manager | 04:32 |
| klotho | also, I see that I have HP printing services running, which I don't need. how do I turn that off? | 04:32 |
| Barridus | rdw200169, so if i switch from alsa to pulse audio, will it add an option box to the sound panel for the system beep? | 04:32 |
| Bllasae | alright | 04:32 |
| rdw200169 | Barridus: not likely, pulse audio runs on top of alsa | 04:33 |
| Bllasae | Maybe this would be easier if you compared things to windows equivalents | 04:33 |
| Flannel | Bllasae: Nautilus === Windows Explorer | 04:33 |
| rdw200169 | Barridus: alsa is still in charge, pulse audio just provides mixing so 2 applications can output sound at the same time, among other things | 04:33 |
| miranda_psi | Bllasae: i'll keep that in mind.... | 04:33 |
| wolter | i have a bluetooth dongle conected to my computer, but i the bluetooth device setup doesn't detect it, what can i do? | 04:33 |
| tritium | Bllasae: not all of us use Windows, so wouldn't know what to compare things to. | 04:33 |
| nathan42100 | hey all. Can anyone tell me how to install the windows 7 Beta without disturbing Grub (and having it show up) or how to easily restore grub after the install? | 04:33 |
| Flannel | !grub | nathan42100, first link | 04:33 |
| Barridus | rdw200169, ok i'm with you so far | 04:33 |
| ubottu | nathan42100, first 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 | 04:33 |
| Bllasae | tritium: What did you use before Ubuntu? | 04:34 |
| tritium | Bllasae: further, linux has many things for which there is no Windows equivalent | 04:34 |
| wolter | nathan42100, i'm afraid that is impossible. there is though, a grub installer for windows, called wingrub | 04:34 |
| tritium | Bllasae: Debian | 04:34 |
| Flannel | nathan42100: It's entirely likely that you can't do the former. Windows tends to assume its the only OS in the world | 04:34 |
| Bllasae | So this is easy for you | 04:34 |
| Bllasae | And Windows is easy for me | 04:34 |
| rdw200169 | Barridus: this is about as far as I can go with you, before it gets *really* complicated, i would recommend reading up on ALSA and pulseaudio | 04:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | wolter: thats pretty unecessary, reinstalling grub is about a 4-6sec job. | 04:34 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: What do you mean by 'repo'? reproduction, repository, or what? | 04:34 |
| wolter | IndyGunFreak, ah. | 04:34 |
| Bllasae | YES! | 04:34 |
| Bllasae | I FIXED IT | 04:34 |

| nathan42100 | anyone had luck with the supergrub restore? | 04:35 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: if you want to learn more, do some research about debian package management | 04:35 |

| Bllasae | Okay, so before I screw something up again, where do I put my bookmarks.html file? | 04:35 |
| runner23 | @ Bllasae anywhere | 04:36 |
| runner23 | your going to import it from the Bookmarks menu | 04:36 |

| tritium | When I have to use Windows at work, I feel totally handicapped. | 04:36 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: I did, and I did it several times. One problem is that the documentation is not consistent and not free of errors and not written didactically. | 04:36 |
| nathan42100 | Flannel: have you tried the supergrub restore? | 04:36 |
| runner23 | @ Bllasae just remember where you put it | 04:37 |
| nathan42100 | does it work well? | 04:37 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: what are you finding so complicated? it's a rather simple system | 04:37 |
| Flannel | nathan42100: I haven't; but it should work more or less the same. | 04:37 |

| lanoxx | funny abbreviation | 04:38 |

| Kyoaku_Tatsu1 | ok hi im having a few problems with ubuntu.. i cant open any stuff i downlosed | 04:38 |
| tboydston | Kyoaku: What are you downloading? | 04:39 |
| miranda_psi | Kyoaku_Tatsu1: can you be more specific please? | 04:39 |
| tritium | miranda_psi: he's not incorrect | 04:39 |
| miranda_psi | tritium: he is to anyone who isn't american | 04:39 |
| tritium | miranda_psi: no need to correct him to suit your preferences when he uses valid spelling | 04:40 |
| Flannel | miranda_psi: Especially not here. | 04:40 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: Let me proceed step by step. I would like now to know what would change if I asserted the System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software > Downloadable from the Internet > Source code button. Your answer " the ability to download the source code" above certainly is not correct. I told you that I am able to download source code even now when this button is unchecked. | 04:40 |
| tritium | English is an evolved language, containing aspects of ancient Greek, Latin, German, colonial English. So what if he's using a newer version than you? | 04:40 |
| NetLarIrvine | Is it alright to place the $PATH system wide, instead of locallly? | 04:41 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: disregard synaptic for a second, and check all the sources.list files | 04:41 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: comment all the deb-src lines, and no more source code. period. | 04:41 |
| zenwryly | when running aptitude and it says it's removing packages, they often have a "{a}" or a "{u}" after it. The docs are horrible. Can anyone tell me what those mean or where in the docs I can make sense of this? | 04:41 |
| tboydston | I'm using Irssi and I'm having issues with it not keeping much on the screen. The scrollbar is static so I lose a line of text after 30 or so more follow it. Is this terminal or the client? | 04:42 |
| Flannel | tboydston: irssi has its own "window" that keeps track of the buffer. The scrollbar in the terminal itself won | 04:42 |

| Kyoaku_Tatsu1 | well when i am downloading something like zune or something and then it finishes i click on it and it says it is unable to open it | 04:44 |
| tboydston | jessid: I was just told to use page up and page down and that works fine for me | 04:45 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: What do you mean by "and no more source code"? This is an ambiguous statement. What do you mean precisely with it? That I will no longer be able to download source code packages through the apt-get source mechanism? Or that there will exist no longer any source code in the world? Or what? | 04:45 |

| computer13137 | Hello. | 04:46 |
| Flannel | RegressLess: Did you just change it this session? | 04:46 |
| rdw200169 | bullgard4: ok, let's play 'english major': If you delete the deb-src options from the sources.list files, you will no longer be able to download source code. This is after you perform and update, via apt-get update | 04:46 |

| bullgard4 | tritium: I do not provoke. A factual question is no provocation. | 04:46 |
| RegressLess | Flannel: no, a few sessions ago, :( I goofed it up when I set it I guess | 04:46 |
| WetWired_ALUG | Can someone who is really good with nautilus MSG me please? | 04:47 |
| computer13137 | I have Ubuntu installed on my new server. When I boot the system it says there's no operating system. It has 2 SATA drives, and had Windows XP on it first, however that has since been deleted. I can't boot to the new live CD because the graphics driver is incompatible and it doesn't want to load up. I can't boot to the older live CDs or the kernel panics for some reason. How can I fix GRUB? | 04:47 |
| tritium | bullgard4: questions are not factual by their very nature. | 04:47 |
| Flannel | rdw200169: The attitude isn't really necessary. | 04:47 |
| pallu | hello all of you | 04:47 |
| ziroday | WetWired_ALUG: ask here and we can all help out :) | 04:47 |

| uber_noober | howdy folks. how do I install m$ office under qemu?..have win xp already installed | 04:47 |
| RegressLess | all 1300 of us | 04:47 |
| tboydston | regressless: If you go into the GRUB and do recovery-mode you can change the password with 'passwd master' says a post on the forums | 04:47 |
| WetWired_ALUG | Ok, nautilus recognises .jpg but not .JPG, how can I change it so it'll do both? | 04:48 |
| ziroday | WetWired_ALUG: nautilus doesn't find the program type from the filename, it works it out by actually looking at the file | 04:48 |
| roger_ | uber_noober, openoffice is the equivalent of ms office | 04:48 |
| Flannel | tboydston, RegressLess: he mentions the method outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword but I'm still not sure how you managed to log in. | 04:48 |
| bullgard4 | rdw200169: Ah, ok, understood. Thank you for explaining. | 04:48 |
| miranda_psi | WetWired_ALUG: try checking the program the extensions are registered with and make them the same (only guessing) | 04:48 |
| djambsd | hi, where is rc.conf in ubuntu to change startup | 04:49 |
| mankash | anybody knows about hostap and hostapd modules | 04:49 |
| RegressLess | Flannel: because it's not the same as my user password. In 8.10, it shows Synaptic User as a separate user which you can set a separate password. | 04:49 |
| uber_noober | roger I know, but I'm trying to install it on someone else's system who insists on having it | 04:49 |
| Kyoaku_Tatsu1 | i really just need to know why my computer is saying there is an error when i try to open something i downloaded like Zune | 04:49 |
| uber_noober | so far managed to get xp running in virtual mode, but no idea how to get ms office installed | 04:50 |
| WetWired_ALUG | It usually only happens when I'm uploading files to something like myspace. It won't display any of the files with the uppercase JPG, but once I rename them to lowercase it will. Then I can upload them. Problem is, my camera takes the picutres in uppercase, and it's a real pain always having to rename all of the files. | 04:50 |
| miranda_psi | Kyoaku: is Zune a windows program? | 04:50 |
| tritium | djambsd: ubuntu/debian use update-rc.d. instead. If you want, sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, and use the tool you asked about. | 04:50 |
| nazdreg | Has anyone encountered an error when installing the base-system in 8.10 server ? | 04:50 |

| djambsd | to remove gnome default from system i use apt-get remove gnome? | 04:51 |
| RegressLess | tritium and Flannel, thanks | 04:51 |
| miranda_psi | Kyoaku: then that is why - Linux doesn't know how to run such programs. You can try installing wine and see if that gets you going | 04:51 |
| marabout_ | can I run "fsck" at anytime to check on a possible problem or will this cause issues in Ubuntu? | 04:51 |

| Decepticon | how can i get a window in screen that is split halfway horizontally INSTEAD of a screen session split horizontally in which i must load individual windows and the split permeates through the whole session? from what i can tell, it only does splits a whole session horizontally in which you must load windows to each splitted area... not the other way around, where i want to load a session, have only 1 window split halfway | 04:53 |
| miranda_psi | Kyoaku: good luck | 04:53 |

| ryan8403 | quick question, some themes allow the windows to be double stacked, how can i make this happen on all my themes? | 04:54 |
| tritium | WetWired_ALUG: file extensions are irrelevant. Who's to say you can't rename a .doc as a .jpg? That doesn't make it a JPEG image. | 04:54 |

| WetWired_ALUG | miranda_psi: I see that, I don't see where to set it as the same | 04:56 |

| koshari | linux_trojan if its a DV camcorder use kino | 05:18 |
| balrog__ | greatcaffeine: it should be | 05:18 |
| tritium | cinco29: use the ubuntu package, not the .bin | 05:18 |
| koshari | greatcaffeine i doubt it, i beleive you need the 2.6.28 kernel for ext4 | 05:18 |
| roger_ | huh, my ubuntu install was a bin | 05:18 |
| linux_trojan | in Kino I get an error something about /dev/1396 or something | 05:18 |
| tritium | roger_: it's in the medibuntu repository | 05:18 |
| cinco29 | thats what i got | 05:18 |

| hyde | how can I use command line to verify one dhcp fixed-address configuration entry is really in effect? | 05:19 |
| cinco29 | how do i get the package? | 05:19 |
| tritium | cinco29: don't use the .bin. It's always preferable to have your software under package management. Get it from the medibuntu repository. | 05:19 |
| koshari | linux_trojan you may need to change permissions of the 1396 device, theres a lot of how tos around, | 05:19 |
| balrog__ | greatcaffeine: you do need the -28 kernel, but i beleive ext4 is just an extension to ext3... | 05:19 |

| greatcaffeine | Alright, thanks. :) | 05:19 |
| linux_trojan | I didnt have a /dev/raw1936, so I created it and I chmod 777 on it but nothing works | 05:19 |
| koshari | linux_trojan technically giving your firewire device write access is a security risk | 05:20 |
| ronhalfdanr | if I change the samba config from path = /home/ron/rondata to path = /dev/sdc1 will it change my samba share to that entire drive? | 05:20 |
| koshari | linux_trojan if you didnt have a device i wouls suspect the system is not seing your device | 05:20 |
| roger_ | can i add this medibuntu to my repository list | 05:20 |
| roger_ | in synaptic | 05:20 |
| koshari | roger_: yes | 05:20 |
| linux_trojan | sounds like I am screwed | 05:20 |
| Gnea | ronhalfdanr: bad idea, since /dev/sdc1 is a device, not a mountpoint | 05:20 |
| koshari | roger_ allthugh its easier and faster in CLI | 05:21 |
| ronhalfdanr | GneaOK< how do I change the share to that entire drive? | 05:21 |
| roger_ | koshari, what | 05:21 |
| Gnea | ronhalfdanr: see what it's mounted to: df -Th | 05:21 |
| ronhalfdanr | huh? | 05:21 |
| linux_trojan | maybe I should just switch to Mandriva? | 05:21 |
| Gnea | it's a command... open a terminal and type it | 05:21 |
| opera | join | 05:21 |
| ronhalfdanr | command not found | 05:22 |
| koshari | roger_ adding the repo in command prompt | 05:22 |

| marabout_ | Is there a 'crash log' in Ubuntu and if so how can I access it to view info on crashes | 05:22 |
| Gnea | df -Th | 05:22 |
| Gnea | ronhalfdanr: it has to be exact | 05:22 |
| ronhalfdanr | duh | 05:22 |
| roger_ | yeah there's a guide here showing how | 05:22 |
| linux_trojan | I have searched all the Ubuntu Forums and all of them are just floundering in the dark | 05:22 |
| ronhalfdanr | /media/DRV7_VOL1 | 05:23 |
| ronhalfdanr | Gnea so in samba config change it to that? | 05:23 |
| Gnea | ronhalfdanr: right. | 05:23 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok and the entire drive will be shared? | 05:23 |
| Gnea | probably | 05:23 |
| ronhalfdanr | permissions aside I should be able to see the entire drive I hope | 05:24 |

| eseven73 | cinco29: alt+F2 then type in the word terminal then type inside the terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the lines that wwebsite said to add. | 05:35 |
| marabout_ | Jack_Sparrow, EADG , eseven73 ; Just out of curiosity ( and since I am a newb) can you briefly mention what the command AnaisCareMaiz wrote would have done. ( i understand -rm to be 'remove' but dont get the other part. You can PM me if it is safer... | 05:35 |
| EADG | AnaisCareMaiz: Exploring the command line are ya? Start with man "cmd" for a rundown on what it does. Wanna see a list of commands? type a letter then jit 'tab tab' to get a list of all the cmds starting with that letter. Lots 'o fun. | 05:35 |

| Adrian2MiL8 | <tritium> the nvidia packages are best | 05:40 |

| Delerious | no Hammerjak | 05:41 |
| tritium | Adrian2MiL8: we don't recommend or support them here, as I've said | 05:41 |
| Hammerjak | hm, i thought it asked about adding the repositories | 05:41 |
| Drace | If i take out my livecd, would i be able to burn something? | 05:41 |
| Delerious | it just automounts and gives me the option of opening in a folder | 05:41 |
| Hammerjak | once the cd is in, i think synaptic gives you the option to add a repository on a cd | 05:41 |
| Hammerjak | i haven't tried it though | 05:41 |

| fakhir | hmm not sure why i can find the answer but how to i list all users and groups in terminal? | 06:03 |
| eseven73 | cinco29: my nvidia 5200 pci runs google earth pretty darn slow (unless i have no filters enabled) and even then) so I'm guessing you have to have a AGP at least like Adrian2MiL8 said | 06:03 |

| luig1 | I do that all the time ziroday, I meant like stuck-wothout-X emergencies. | 06:19 |

| ziroday | kinja-sheep: simple-ccsm does not have all the options that ccsm does, however its simpler :) | 06:22 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: that is not advised, see !latest to understand why | 06:22 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: why do you need the latest nvidia drivers? | 06:23 |
| kinja-sheep | ziroday: So I'd prefer the second choice then. More power to the *nux, eh? | 06:23 |
| ziroday | kinja-sheep: sure | 06:23 |

| pyro2927 | is there a program that will show a photo frame like windows vista has in its sidebar? | 06:23 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: upgrading to new graphics drivers can _really_ mess up your system. Upgrading just to try is never a good idea | 06:23 |

| ziroday | pyro2927: take a look at screenlets or gdesklets for GNOME | 06:24 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: it most probably won't. Its better to wait until the next version of ubuntu with it in | 06:24 |
| pyro2927 | ziroday: thanks! | 06:25 |

| ziroday | pyro2927: I personally recommend screenlets | 06:25 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <ziroday>when i logon into gnome there is for a few secons a horrous black squares until the destop finish to load with the gadgets awn and more | 06:25 |
| ziroday | kinja-sheep: emerald is a window manager that is run with compiz. However it is buggy, unstable and unmaintained. Its not advised to use it | 06:26 |
| kinja-sheep | ziroday: Wait... Not advised to use Emerald, but CompizFusion is stable... correct? | 06:27 |
| parvo | can rhythmbox connect to a mpd server? | 06:27 |

| Adrian2MiL8 | <ziroday> i think what maybe is the 173 driver with my nv 8800gt | 06:28 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: the new drivers are unlikely to fix that. However if you must try them out there is a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~thomas-creutz/+archive | 06:28 |

| klotho | can anyone help me with an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10? I'm getting the same problems as the last upgrade: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 06:46 |
| Luckilee | Can anyone help me? My navigation bar in firefox isn't working properly. The address bar doesn't update, the homepage doesn't load at startup (and when I click the button it goes to mozilla.org) and the back/forward/refresh buttons do not work. I tried disabling all addons and reinstalling firefox, but that didn't help. (Using Ubuntu 8.10, 64-bit) | 06:46 |
| eatThisAndDie | jerr: yeah sure. | 06:47 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <klotho> why 7.04 to 7.10 and not 7.04 to 8.10 ??? | 06:47 |
| ziroday | klotho: gutsy woudn't be there as its not EOL | 06:47 |
| klotho | Adrian2MiL8: I thought I had to do 7.10 first | 06:47 |
| klotho | if I can go straight to 8.10 that would be great... how do I do that? | 06:47 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: you can't do that. You can only go from LTS to LTS | 06:48 |
| grayhane | any links to download the alt 710 disc ? | 06:48 |
| elphias | ziroday: ok 2 of the things ubotu said where not on the system and ubuntu-desktop reports the most current version...does it matter that i am using 8.10? | 06:48 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <klotho> i think you should make a simple dist upgrade | 06:48 |
| klotho | Adrian2MiL8: cool, how do I do that? | 06:48 |
| ziroday | elphias: thats fine, it should of got rid of every kde app for you though | 06:48 |
| kinja-sheep | Is there an excellent local-to-local communication? Something easy. | 06:49 |
| grayhane | klotho: I did an upgrade and much of my stuff stopped working , could not read NTFS drive and some programs did not work any longer | 06:49 |
| kinja-sheep | text-based communication. Pidgin is network-oriented. How about something for local-oriented (like... 192.168.1.* only) ? | 06:49 |
| klotho | grayhane: so you're saying version 8 is problematic? | 06:49 |
| phixxor | can someone help me restore my partitions from what is now seen as empty space? | 06:50 |
| miranda_psi | kinja-sheep: ipmessenger | 06:50 |
| elphias | something called speedcrunch and pulse audio device chooser still exists, as well as konversation, but it seems that all the other things went poofle though | 06:50 |
| kinja-sheep | miranda_psi: Will check it out. | 06:50 |
| grayhane | klotho: Yes it was for me on 3 different boxes, I an staying with 710 for now | 06:50 |
| klotho | grayhane: cool, thanks for the warning | 06:50 |
| ziroday | elphias: thats correct. The other apps you need to remove yourself | 06:50 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | klotho > open a terminal ant type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:50 |
| kinja-sheep | miranda_psi: It's not in the repos ? | 06:51 |
| klotho | hey how can I get ubuntu to recognize a wifi PC card? | 06:51 |
| elphias | ziroday: alrighty ^_^ ill do that and hopefully things go back to normal, i like kde, but it dosen't like some of the 3rd party apps i use, ubuntu seems much more freindlyer with them | 06:51 |
| elphias | ziroday: and thankies for yer help ^_^ | 06:52 |
| phixxor | klotho: there are lists somewhere that tell you how compatible your card is with ubuntu | 06:52 |
| frootcaek | hi | 06:52 |
| frootcaek | why ubuntu dosent work | 06:52 |
| phixxor | they should give you instructions, look here | 06:52 |
| kerry_ | hello | 06:52 |
| ziroday | elphias: np | 06:52 |
| klotho | phixxor: I know, but how do I get it to recognize the card? | 06:52 |
| phixxor | !wifi | klotho | 06:52 |
| ubottu | klotho: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:52 |
| miranda_psi | kinja-sheep: no | 06:52 |
| klotho | cool | 06:52 |
| phixxor | klotho: it depends on the card. sometimes you have to use ndiswrapper, sometimes you can use a native driver | 06:52 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <klotho>there is a way for use windows .sys wifi drivers in linux through ndiswarapper i believe | 06:52 |
| frootcaek | hi!! why ubuntu dosent work?! | 06:53 |
| klotho | ok, so I still have sources.list problems. I'm getting W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://old-releases.ubuntu.com edgy-backports/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/old-releases.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_edgy-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages) | 06:53 |
| klotho | how do I get a working sources.list for 7.10? | 06:53 |
| klotho | or rather 7.04 | 06:53 |
| miranda_psi | kinja-sheep: there is also a linux version and I think its linked to on the same page - and there are a couple of them and only one is any good | 06:53 |
| klotho | so I can upgrade to 7.10 | 06:53 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | klotho> read this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades | 06:54 |

| ubottu | frootcaek, please see my private message | 06:54 |
| kerry_ | somebody help me please... i'm using hardy, kde. how do i assign a keyboard shortcut to the application launcher? | 06:54 |
| frootcaek | sorry i dont accept pvt. msgs. | 06:54 |
| phixxor | can someone help me restore my partitions? I used to have an extended partition with logical partitions on it, but due to a quick mistake it looks like empty space now. can I get them back? | 06:54 |
| frootcaek | unless their from freinds | 06:54 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | klotho > and follow the instructions | 06:54 |
| klotho | thanks but that page refers to 6.06 and I'm on 7.04 | 06:54 |
| frootcaek | quibbler: plz. type in public why ubuntu dosent work?! | 06:54 |
| rolle | phixxornot sur---i had same problem, i just reformated the entire computer | 06:55 |
| ziroday | !upgrade | klotho try following this instead | 06:55 |
| ubottu | klotho try following this instead: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:55 |
| phixxor | rolle: heh, I am hoping it won't come to that | 06:55 |
| rolle | i tried to extend the partition but it failed | 06:55 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | the process is the same only change dapper for you release name | 06:56 |
| rolle | so i just figured what the hell backup all the information and did it | 06:56 |
| kinja-sheep | miranda_psi: Got it. I'll look around. Thanks. :) | 06:56 |
| rolle | but good luck mate | 06:56 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: the process is not the same. Please stop giving incorrect advice. You can only jump upgrades from LTS to LTS | 06:56 |
| rolle | ubuntu should have a partition manager thingy that you might be able to mess around with | 06:56 |
| kerry_ | i believe the app launcher in kde4 is called 'kickoff'? anyone know how to assign a keyboard shortcut to it? | 06:57 |
| quibbler | frootcaek, what exacly is the problem | 06:57 |
| whatev | why does the installation requirements for ubuntu say it takes a minimum of 256 MiB of memory? what's MiB | 06:57 |
| ziroday | kerry_: ask in #kubuntu | 06:57 |
| KCCarnage | Anyone know where I can find the xchat config files? | 06:57 |
| phixxor | rolle: looking back, I should have made a backup | 06:57 |
| l337ingDisorder | what's the default port for a remote X session? | 06:57 |
| KCCarnage | OMG so many questions, lol | 06:57 |
| ziroday | whatev: its a measurement of computer memory. You need 256 Megabytes of ram to run ubuntu | 06:57 |
| grayhane | phixxor: what kind of filesystem are you working with | 06:58 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <ziroday>when make a dist-upgrade the system should download the right packages i believe | 06:58 |
| ziroday | KCCarnage: ~/.xchat2 | 06:58 |
| ziroday | Adrian2MiL8: it doesn't, the procedure is outlined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:58 |
| kranny | whatev: Mib is megabytes | 06:58 |
| binarymutant | gdm isn't working for me, the keyboard and mouse do not work resulting in a hard reboot, whenever I try to start X directly I get an MTRR error | 06:58 |
| whatev | there's no i in megabytes though i dont get it | 06:58 |
| kinja-sheep | I have the tar.gz of gipmsg. The arch is for i386. However, I'm using amd64. Is this conflicting? | 06:59 |
| phixxor | grayhane: the extended partition used to be some empty space and 3 logical partitons. [ {empty} {reiserfs} {ext3} {ext2} ] | 06:59 |
| elphias | ziroday: hey is the pulse audio device chooser something that will make useing pulse in ubuntu better? | 06:59 |
| miranda_psi | kinja-sheep: is that the source? or a binary? | 06:59 |
| quibbler | kinja-sheep, no, it should work fine | 06:59 |
| grayhane | is there data on one that you need / | 06:59 |
| ziroday | elphias: not really, but it shows you more option about it | 06:59 |
| kinja-sheep | miranda_psi: Seems like the source. | 06:59 |
| kranny | whatev:Mib is actually mebi bytes | 06:59 |
| miranda_psi | kinja-sheep: if its source then its fine | 07:00 |
| kranny | Whatev:Just to avoid confusion we call it as Megabytes | 07:00 |
| phixxor | grayhane: yes, the ext3 partition was my /home, which I need back for sure. | 07:00 |
| kinja-sheep | !source | 07:00 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 07:00 |

| Omoikane__ | kranny it seems to be tied to the bookmarks or profile in firefox. If I add enough bookmarks the title bar disappears and the program flashes every time I do something. | 07:04 |
| binarymutant | kalvin_: compiz is the 3D effects | 07:04 |
| gbolahan | comiz enables 3D effects on ur linux | 07:05 |

| Flannel | SG_: You may want to consider sticking with 8.04 then. It's an LTS, so its supported 3/5 on desktop/server (and you can upgrade straight to the next LTS, which is scheduled for 10.04) | 07:10 |

| Shendelzare | thx | 07:25 |
| Shendelzare | anyway :) | 07:25 |
| vegombrei | hi ... ever since my last update my mouse behaves funny when i right click ... i checked out the mouse properties but everything there seems just fine .. anyone else here had the similar issue ? what did you do to fix this ?? | 07:25 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <binarymutant> there is a keys combination that work a kernel level ALWAYS ...ctrl+alt+sysreq+... something else search | 07:25 |
| binarymutant | arghh2d2: ive got the keyboard driver set to kbd should it be something else? | 07:26 |
| kranny | <Omoikane__>:Maybe a hardware issue | 07:26 |
| kranny | ? | 07:26 |
| binarymutant | Adrian2MiL8: it becomes unresponsive and cant do that, those were the first things I tried | 07:26 |
| Omoikane__ | kranny it's weird because it was working before when I had hardy and once I installed ibex it stopped working. | 07:27 |
| arghh2d2 | binarymutant: i honestly dont know ubuntu...maybe hotplugging is trying to automagic your mouse kyb before what they are set as in xorg.conf gets a chance to load. | 07:27 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <binarymutant>you try this keys comb too ??? i don't remenber exactly but it's something like ctrl+alt+sysreq+reisurb | 07:28 |
| arghh2d2 | what are sysreq and reisurb? | 07:28 |
| * arghh2d2 looks for those keys | 07:28 | |

| Adrian2MiL8 | <arghh2d2> sysreq is the key print screen too | 07:29 |
| binarymutant | Adrian2MiL8: are you talking about ctrl+alt+f1 ? | 07:29 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <binarymutant> no | 07:29 |
| binarymutant | Adrian2MiL8: whats reisurb? | 07:30 |
| mrnoogle | do you know where I can find libclamav.so.3 ? | 07:30 |
| arghh2d2 | yeah, what is reisurb? | 07:30 |

| workingchair | ah, that makes sense, haha, thanks | 07:48 |
| unop | workingchair, err no. gksudo gedit | 07:48 |
| unop | workingchair, mrnoogle .. never use sudo with GUI apps | 07:48 |
| quibbler | workingchair, gksu gedit | 07:48 |
| workingchair | what is gk? | 07:48 |
| Baz_ | is it ok to install Java 64bit from "restricted extras" or am i better off going to java's site? | 07:48 |
| Flynsarmy | THere's no app for ubuntu that lets you limit the ul/dl speed of individual applications? | 07:49 |
| Omoikane__ | kranny the interesting thing is that the mute image doesn't flash up. That means that it's not getting through somewhere. | 07:49 |
| quibbler | workingchair, gui usage for sudo | 07:49 |
| unop | workingchair, the GTK frontend to su/sudo | 07:49 |
| === irc is now known as Guest11754 | ||
| === Guest11754 is now known as Martian | ||
| mrnoogle | gk just allows you to leave the app open after closing the terminal | 07:50 |
| mrnoogle | gksudo or sudo will work | 07:50 |
| unop | mrnoogle, no, gksudo does more than that - it sets the environment up appropriately for GUI apps | 07:50 |
| magoo_ | anybody know why i can use kubnto 8.10 fine in recovery mode, but it doesnt work in generic mode | 07:50 |
| magoo_ | i've downloaded the recommend drivers but it still doesnt work | 07:50 |
| magoo_ | kubunto* | 07:51 |
| unop | mrnoogle, using sudo does not do that, and it is possible for those GUI apps to write files in your homedir that are owned by the superuser -- which is not a good thing. | 07:51 |
| arghh2d2 | try again | 07:51 |
| mrnoogle | k, I use sudo all the time with gedit | 07:51 |
| mrnoogle | seems to work | 07:51 |
| mrnoogle | no offense | 07:51 |
| mrnoogle | explain if you can | 07:51 |
| unop | !worksforme | mrnoogle | 07:51 |
| ubottu | mrnoogle: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 07:51 |
| unop | !gksudo | mrnoogle | 07:52 |
| ubottu | mrnoogle: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:52 |
| arghh2d2 | mrnoogle: i think some programs do more commands within the program than just edit text. | 07:52 |

| BlackDex | When i start Ubuntu (Installed or Live CD) i get the following message | 08:12 |
| BlackDex | ACPI: Expecting a [Reference] package element, found type 0 | 08:12 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: you could just turn off acpi | 08:13 |
| BlackDex | After that it starts beeping throught the system speaker, and doesn't stop | 08:13 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: it's one of the 'advanced' boot option things, you may have to try the alternate version of the installation cd | 08:13 |
| BlackDex | rdw200169: But that makes it not shuting down etc.. | 08:13 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: well, you mean suspend and resume, which i never use on a desktop | 08:14 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: are you on a laptop | 08:14 |
| BlackDex | rdw200169: No it is a new desktop system | 08:14 |

| BlackDex | rdw200169: I don't | 08:15 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: acpi is not related to shutdown | 08:15 |
| BlackDex | but i thought ACPI did more then just suspend | 08:15 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: it's mostly related to that | 08:15 |

| rdw200169 | arghh2d2: BlackDex, it's primarily related to the BIOS and Motherboard | 08:16 |
| BlackDex | i can't turn off ACPI from BIOS, because there has to be Windows on it.. (Which is already installed) | 08:16 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: no, i mean turning off ACPI in the linux kernel | 08:16 |

| BezNalogov | I don't use samba | 08:20 |
| BlackDex | but there is no bluetooth on the system :S | 08:20 |
| TTilus | BezNalogov: error you pasted says its a pam_smbpass blowing up, which is a samba lib | 08:21 |
| miranda_psi | BexNalogov: samba is installed by default, though I don't know why it would cause any problems if you dont use it | 08:21 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: wow, Phenom | 08:21 |
| BezNalogov | I see, thanks | 08:21 |
| BezNalogov | Then I will try that | 08:21 |
| BlackDex | rdw200169: Indeed :) | 08:21 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: that sucker's so new, there's nothing in a google search! (surprising, indeed!) | 08:22 |
| BlackDex | Specs are greate | 08:22 |
| TTilus | BezNalogov: read carefully, theres several suggestions how to get rid of segfault with that particular smb lib | 08:22 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: ok, here's the bad news, | 08:22 |
| BlackDex | to new im afraid ? :( | 08:22 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: yup | 08:22 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: you're likely going to have to wait until the Kernel community has caught up and released new open source 'drivers' that support your motherboard | 08:23 |
| BlackDex | Fedora has the same problem so i knew it isn't just an ubuntu thing | 08:23 |

| rdw200169 | BlackDex: it *will* be supported, it just takes time, particularly since Acer doesn't support open source | 08:24 |
| BlackDex | hmm | 08:24 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: now, if you had a Dell, for example, the likelyhood that it would be supported would be higher, b/c the CEO of Dell is a Ubuntu-er | 08:24 |
| BlackDex | i just try'd to add acpi=oldboot, also no go | 08:24 |
| BlackDex | ah | 08:24 |
| BlackDex | hehe | 08:24 |
| BlackDex | My old system (this one) is a Dell | 08:24 |

| epictetus | yeah i have a dell ubuntu box. | 08:25 |
| epictetus | laptop | 08:25 |
| BlackDex | rdw200169: Is there a way to prevent bluetooth module from starting on the live cd? | 08:25 |
| rdw200169 | epictetus: woot! | 08:25 |
| epictetus | dell's ubuntu support is annoying though -- they only offer it on limited models | 08:26 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: not that I know of, then again, i always perform my installation via the alternate cd | 08:26 |
| epictetus | dell actually sells more redhat than ubuntu, you can get redhat preinstalled on pretty much every Dell server | 08:26 |
| epictetus | like, it is a standard option | 08:27 |
| epictetus | while ubuntu's only on a few limited models | 08:27 |
| rdw200169 | epictetus: which consequentially guarantees that *most* linux distros will work on dells hardware-wise | 08:27 |
| BlackDex | rdw200169: But the only diff is it is text based right? | 08:27 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: yup | 08:27 |
| rdw200169 | BlackDex: i'm a server guy, so everything i prefer is text-based ;) | 08:28 |
| FisherPrice | Why can i boot ubuntu 7.10 livecd with failsafe graphics, but not ubuntu 8.10? | 08:29 |

| BlackDex | rdw200169: Ah.. well i don't mind text.. used to it from redhat etc.. | 08:29 |

| Ububegin | After making changes to the /etc/resolv.conf .. how do i check the change has taken effect... | 08:39 |
| ikonia | _wasabi: what are you trying to build ? | 08:39 |
| jedex | is the linux headers package included with default intrepid 8.10 installation? | 08:40 |
| ikonia | jedex: no | 08:40 |
| pavel_ | yesterday i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and all my postgresql dtabases are gone... | 08:40 |
| sarmisak | jedex, probably no. | 08:40 |
| BlackDex | grgrgr.. If i add bluetooth.blacklist=yes it still starts bluetooth after starting hardware abstraction layer hald | 08:40 |
| miranda_psi | _wasabi: you could try doing it under cygwin or looking into gcc cross compilation | 08:40 |

| _wasabi | ikonia: | miranda_psi: sipe is the microsoft exchange plugin for pidgin | 08:41 |
| ikonia | _wasabi: let me have a look at sipe, I don't know what it is, it is highly unlikley you will be able to build it for windows | 08:41 |
| rdw200169 | oasis: the instructions seem pretty self explanatory: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos/how_to_become_a_linux_netbook_poweruser?page=0%2C1 | 08:42 |
| _wasabi | ikonia: yea i haven't had any luck with their latest code. | 08:42 |

| zicho | does anyone here know if mednafen has an irc channel? | 08:43 |
| ikonia | _wasabi: I don't think it is as it depends on glib librarues that are not available in windows | 08:43 |
| kraut | moin | 08:43 |
| _wasabi | ikonia: someone on their forum mentioned something regarding kerberos as the primary problem why it's not compiling for windows | 08:43 |
| ikonia | zicho: come on - this isn't an irc directory channel | 08:43 |
| ikonia | _wasabi: I disagree, | 08:44 |
| FisherPrice | why will 7.10 livecd work and not 8.10? | 08:44 |
| _wasabi | ikonia: hmm the older versions i had no problem compiling in windows | 08:44 |
| FisherPrice | i can't boot the livecd of intrepid | 08:44 |
| ikonia | _wasabi: this depends on glib2 I don't see that being available for windows (I could be wrong) | 08:44 |
| FisherPrice | and there's no cd errors | 08:44 |
| ikonia | _wasabi: either way, not really something for the #ubuntu channel to take forward as this isn't really an #ubuntu issue | 08:45 |
| _wasabi | ikonia: http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=5165627 but even when i cross compile in linux it doesn't work | 08:45 |
| _wasabi | ikonia: ah okay | 08:45 |

| perlmonkey | if you add your printer on Windows as a network printer and use the correct address location it will print from windows via CUPS | 09:25 |
| perlmonkey | I do this on my wifi XP laptop..wireless printing is cool | 09:26 |

| perlmonkey | will do it, thanks guys you've been so helpful | 09:53 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: I trie'd all the free one's, but none of them worked | 09:53 |
| perlmonkey | Mateo_ how can it point to two folders? | 09:54 |
| Martin_vW | ActionParsnip: It doesn't turn straight off (I know, it would do that if I would hold the button for 4 secs), but shuts down linux. | 09:54 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: so im using the manufacturers one, with ndiswrapper | 09:54 |
| savvas | Martin_vW: I think you can set it in System > Preferences > Power Management | 09:54 |
| perlmonkey | Mateo_ you could use a symbolic link I guess, maybe that would work | 09:54 |
| Mateo_ | perlmonkey: that's the question :) i don't know if it is possible, that's why i ask :) | 09:54 |
| klotho | hey so I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 and I keep getting no valid mirror found... any tips? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: latest ndiswrapper/ | 09:55 |
| perlmonkey | Mateo_ you mean like..no index page served, just dir listing and the dir for 2nd drive browsable? | 09:55 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: yes | 09:55 |
| dazman | Mateo_, no.. but the closest you can get is to point it to one folder, and create symlinks below it to those two dir and (providing it's apache?) tell it to follow symlinks so it'll be http://localhost/dir1 http://localhost/dir2, but http://localhost/ will really be one folder as such. | 09:55 |
| bartocc | hi | 09:56 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: when I run windows, the connection also drops when the CPU is too busy to service the device. but it comes back up within seconds. | 09:56 |
| bartocc | what is the good practice when creating a new folder under /var ? | 09:56 |
| dazman | Mateo_, I presume this may be a clean install of apache, so that should work (no chroot stuff going on etc) | 09:56 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: in ubuntu it drops just as often, but never comes back up unless I reboot | 09:56 |
| bartocc | should I create a new "git" user ? | 09:56 |
| Mateo_ | dazman: it is .. so i have to work on this | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: hmm, i'd see if theres some strange settings in your bios or maybe your model of wifi (or even laptop if its a laptop) needs special tweaking | 09:56 |
| Mateo_ | dazman: well, i think that the easiest way right now,because i don't need my www, is to use the second drive with localhost | 09:57 |
| perlmonkey | Mateo_ apache will only allow one directory for htdocs as far as I know, but you can put a symbolic link to your other disk in the htdocs directory, or alternatively you could use an dir alias in apache config | 09:57 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: the windows is on a completely different laptop | 09:57 |
| klotho | hey so I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 and I keep getting no valid mirror found... any tips? | 09:57 |
| dazman | Mateo_, What are you trying to do? | 09:57 |
| Mateo_ | perlmonkey: oh ok , i could try it | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: maybe its your access point if both are dropping connection. Is the access point a long way away? | 09:58 |

| ActionParsnip | terryx: theres crossover office and cedega but they are paid for software | 10:06 |
| BombeNissen | terryx wine is the best option you have, else Crossover or Cedega | 10:06 |

| klotho | quibbler: what file should I download from there? | 10:06 |
| klotho | an iso? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | klotho: why would they deliberatley break the upgrade process | 10:06 |
| klotho | will that work? | 10:06 |
| savvas | klotho: what are you actually trying to do? | 10:06 |
| BombeNissen | Anyone has experience with adding a Ubuntu 8.10 to a Windows 2003 domain ? | 10:06 |
| klotho | ikonia: they broke it by moving the upgrade files away from the location where the upgrade software looks for it | 10:07 |
| terryx | actionparsnip, my aoe2 slow on playing... | 10:07 |
| klotho | savvas: I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 | 10:07 |
| Slart | good morning everyone | 10:07 |
| savvas | klotho: using an alternate cd? | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: configure wine better for the app | 10:07 |
| ikonia | klotho: why would they do that on purpose | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !appdb | terryx | 10:07 |
| klotho | savvas: using the built-in upgrade process, and it says no valid mirror found | 10:07 |

| bullgard4 | sl00: The problem is likely your graphics controller and the fact that the Ubuntu CD does not recognize it out-of-the box. My advice would be to try to burn a Knoppix CD and test your computer with it. To test another computer is not meaningful. | 10:07 |
| dooglus | klotho: 7.04's EOL was October 19, 2008 | 10:07 |
| klotho | ikonia: well if they didn't know that moving the files would break their upgrade process they're pretty dumb | 10:08 |
| Martin_vW | savvas: I checked with gconf-editor, /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/power of my own account is set to interactive. I haven't figured out yet how to access root's settings with gconf-editor, but as far as I can see in /root/.gconf, the key doesn't exist yet. I guess the login screen falls back to a default value meaning poweroff. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | klotho: if you want support - we'll try to help, if you want to spout nonsense about doing it on purpose when you don't know - don't bother | 10:08 |
| sl00 | bullgard4: Why is Knoppix better then? | 10:08 |
| savvas | Martin_vW: try executing first this to gain root privileges: sudo -s | 10:08 |
| terryx | actionparsnip, how to connect to another ubuntu computer via internet...is it possible? | 10:08 |
| klotho | ikonia: ok, so why would they move the files so that their upgrade process fails? is there a good reason for that? | 10:08 |
| savvas | Martin_vW: it will set your username and home directory as "root" | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: define "connect" | 10:09 |
| savvas | klotho: 64-bit or 32-bit ubuntu? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: and for what reason | 10:09 |
| klotho | savvas: 32 bit desktop ubuntu | 10:09 |
| ikonia | klotho: I don't know what files your on about as I've not followed your whole conversation | 10:09 |
| klotho | see, if you want to make a consumer OS, you have to stop deliberately doing things which make it difficult to use | 10:10 |
| klotho | ikonia: I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10. just that | 10:10 |
| Martin_vW | savvas: When I'm using sudo -i and then gconf-editor, it works, but still displays the settings from my account. When I use sudo -s, gconf-editor says "failed to contact configuration server". | 10:10 |
| perlmonkey | my xfce is not working :-/ theres no apps launcher, it can't be installed from Add item.. seems I might be missing a lot of stuff | 10:10 |
| ikonia | klotho: ok - so what's the problem | 10:10 |
| bullgard4 | sl00: Knoppix is an alternative. It is not always better than Ubuntu. (According to the experiences we made in our local computer club.) A third alternative to be recommended for testing is the grml CD. | 10:10 |
| ikonia | klotho: can you exaplin the problem in a little more detail | 10:10 |
| sl00 | bullgard4: Is there no way pre-boot I can tell the LiveCD to use another driver or something? | 10:10 |
| Martin_vW | savvas: I guess gconftool-2 is the only way here :) | 10:10 |
| savvas | klotho: download the alternate cd: http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso and read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#Upgrading%20using%20the%20alternate%20CD/DVD | 10:10 |
| dooglus | klotho: is there a particular error message it gives? | 10:10 |
| klotho | ikonia: I have a 7.04 installation. I try to upgrade to 7.10. It says no valid mirrors | 10:10 |
| ikonia | klotho: ahhhh so your 7.04 updates before you move to 7.10 are broke, yes/no ? | 10:11 |
| savvas | Martin_vW: probably :) I haven't done anything on root concerning gconf or gnome in general | 10:11 |
| klotho | ikonia: ? | 10:11 |
| bullgard4 | sl00: Yes there is. This is called 'kernel option' or similar. | 10:11 |
| * perlmonkey attempts to install it again | 10:11 | |
| ikonia | klotho: could you show me the exact error please, in a pastebin if it's long | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sl00: theres also puppy linux, or damn small linux | 10:11 |
| ikonia | klotho: this should be straight forward to fix | 10:11 |
| klotho | ikonia: it just says no valid mirrors | 10:11 |
| klotho | no other error | 10:11 |
| perlmonkey | hehe puppy linux | 10:11 |
| savvas | ikonia: 7.04 is not supported anymore, that's why it says no mirrors | 10:12 |
| ikonia | klotho: well, I think I see the issue, and I think your the problem, not "ubuntu" | 10:12 |
| ikonia | savvas: I know | 10:12 |
| klotho | savvas: yes, so why remove the support by moving files? leave them there so things continue to work | 10:12 |
| savvas | ikonia: ah, you need to document it? :) | 10:12 |
| ikonia | klotho: they are still there | 10:12 |
| ikonia | savvas: no - it is documented | 10:12 |
| klotho | ikonia: no they aren't that's why it fails when trying to find the upgrade files | 10:12 |
| klotho | so do you know how to fix it? | 10:12 |
| savvas | klotho: I just told you how to do it offline using the alternate cd | 10:13 |
| dooglus | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty tells me 'The requested URL /ubuntu/dists/feisty was not found on this server.' -- looks like something was removed | 10:13 |
| ikonia | klotho: if you listen instead of ranting and making yourself look more foolish, I'll fix it | 10:13 |
| klotho | savvas: I don't have 4GB of room for that CD | 10:13 |
| ikonia | klotho: the EOL process (documented) | 10:13 |
| klotho | it's not a CD | 10:13 |
| terryx | actionparsnip, connect means for file transfer.. | 10:13 |
| klotho | it's a DVD | 10:13 |
| ikonia | klotho: it shows that EOL releases are moved from the core servers to the "oldrelease" server as they are no longer supported | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: you could run an ftp server | 10:13 |
| savvas | klotho: the alternate CD is 693 MB, look at the file list | 10:13 |
| klotho | ikonia: right, and by moving it they break everything. there's no need to move it | 10:13 |
| ikonia | klotho: so you have to change your sources.list file to point at the oldreleases server where EOL | 10:13 |
| klotho | savvas: what image is that? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | klotho: you don't know that, you don't manage canonicals resources | 10:13 |
| ikonia | klotho: you just didn't read the docs | 10:14 |
| klotho | ikonia: I did that, following the instructions, and still get that error | 10:14 |
| savvas | < savvas> klotho: download the alternate cd: http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso and read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#Upgrading%20using%20the%20alternate%20CD/DVD | 10:14 |
| Mateo_ | dazman: it's working with the symlink | 10:14 |
| ikonia | klotho: pastebin your sources.list | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | klotho: Or you could use the minimal installer which is 10Mb | 10:14 |
| terryx | actionparsnip, how? and what if i want to see his/her screen with her permission or password.. | 10:14 |
| Slart | klotho: I guess one reason to move the files would be the make people aware of the fact that they aren't updated any more | 10:14 |
| klotho | ikonia: my sources list is the one found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades | 10:14 |
| Mateo_ | i got to go :) see you all ! | 10:14 |
| ikonia | klotho: no | 10:14 |
| klotho | Slart: great, so now things fail and they give up and go back to windows | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: read guides, i find proftpd is decent. If you want screen access then i'd suggest vnc over an ssh tunnel | 10:14 |
| klotho | clever idea | 10:14 |
| FisherPric1 | HEEELLLPPPPP!!!!!! i can't install anything on my hdd's I can read and write to them but grub won't install | 10:15 |
| ikonia | FisherPric1: cut the HEEEEELLLPPPP rubbish please, just ask a question clearly | 10:15 |
| terryx | actionparsnip, vnc orver an ssh tunner....means? | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | FisherPric | 10:15 |
| ubottu | FisherPric: 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 | 10:15 |
| mib_zp0nqu1m | I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and can't get my dual-head display working. In 8.04 I used "xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of VGA-0" and it worked. Now nothing happens...any ideas? | 10:15 |
| FisherPric1 | well ikonia I've been trying to ask for help all day, but noone is helping me | 10:15 |
| ikonia | klotho: this may seem obvious but you have done an sudo apt-get update first | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: vnc is not encrypted so using it over wan is dangerous in a security sence | 10:15 |
| Slart | klotho: if that was all it took to scare someone back I don't think they would have stayed with ubuntu much longer anyways | 10:15 |
| klotho | if ubuntu wants to become a viable desktop OS they will stop breaking things intentionally | 10:16 |
| FisherPric1 | and that's the truth | 10:16 |
| ikonia | FisherPric1: probably because of how you ask | 10:16 |
| klotho | ikonia: ? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | klotho: I won't ask you again about that - we are here to hepl but stop ranting | 10:16 |
| FisherPric1 | no, that's the first one like that | 10:16 |
| FisherPric1 | honest | 10:16 |
| Tekno | how do you restart x in jaunty? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: if you perform the action through an initially established ssh tunnel, you will have encyption | 10:16 |
| klotho | ikonia: are you suggesting something? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | klotho: have you done a "sudo apt-get update" first | 10:16 |
| Tekno | how do you restart x in jaunty? | 10:16 |
| Slart | Tekno: ctrl+alt+backspace is a quick and dirty way | 10:16 |
| klotho | ikonia: no because it doesn't specify that in the documentation | 10:16 |
| Tekno | Slart: doesnt work | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Tekno: join #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 sdiscussion | 10:16 |
| ikonia | klotho: do a "sudo apt-get update" first | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Tekno: same as all linux's, ctrl+alt+backspace | 10:16 |
| Slart | Tekno: can you shut down the computer the normal way? | 10:16 |
| Tekno | ActionParsnip: doesnt work | 10:17 |
| xxploit | lol | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Tekno: join #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 sdiscussion | 10:17 |
| savvas | klotho: maybe ikonia 's right, can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list on www.pastebin.com ? Maybe you have missed something | 10:17 |
| FisherPric1 | I get most of the way through the install, then when I get to the boot loader it says that it can't install it... I think it might be the bios or something blocking it | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Tekno: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 10:17 |
| Slart | Tekno: yes, ask in #ubuntu+1, that's where the jaunty people are | 10:17 |
| FisherPric1 | but I've looked in bios and there's nothing there that i can see | 10:17 |
| ikonia | klotho: please do a "sudo apt-get update" first | 10:17 |
| Tekno | ActionParsnip: i dont have gdm, kdm nor xdm | 10:17 |
| klotho | savvas: my sources.list is the one specified in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades | 10:17 |
| ikonia | klotho: please do a "sudo apt-get update" now, with your updated source.list | 10:17 |
| klotho | ikonia: okay I did that | 10:17 |
| terryx | actionparsnip, first..dangrous for what..second-what is sssh tunel? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | klotho: now try the upgrade process | 10:18 |
| klotho | using the update manager? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | klotho: yes please | 10:18 |
| klotho | it will fail again with no valid mirrors. want to bet? | 10:18 |
| klotho | I'll bet you $20 | 10:18 |
| xxploit | klotho: maybe u should stop talking and just listen to the ppl who are trying to help you | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | terryx: its too diverse to describe here, go research. VNC data is sent in plain data so anyone capturing data will see every keypress you make | 10:18 |
| klotho | $20 anyone? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | klotho: enough | 10:18 |
| ikonia | klotho: we are here to help - not mess around | 10:18 |

| ikonia | quibbler: what ? | 10:19 |
| FisherPric1 | anyone want to have a crack at my problem while klotho is sorting his out? | 10:19 |
| klotho | savvas: I've done every step suggested, of which there were 2 | 10:19 |
| quibbler | ikonia, Job as in the patience of | 10:20 |

| klotho | you would owe me $20 | 10:20 |
| ikonia | klotho: ok, could you please do a "sudo apt-get install conky" for a test please | 10:21 |
| Slart | FisherPric1: some BIOS's have something called virus protection.. it's just a write protection for the mbr or something like that | 10:21 |
| nomingzi | i compile this perl script (http://pastebin.com/m38780e47) and it prompt error on line 4, please advise, i m newbie. thanks | 10:21 |

| klotho | y | 10:22 |

| ikonia | klotho: I'm asking you to install a package to test the package maanges config | 10:22 |
| FisherPric1 | Slart: i didn't see any virus protection in my bios settings.. I'm going to try again but this time I'll delete the install partition | 10:22 |
| klotho | it's doing it | 10:22 |
| Slart | nomingzi: just fyi.. you usually "run" perl scripts, not compile them =).. but I'll take a look | 10:22 |
| FisherPric1 | Slart: and re-creating it | 10:22 |
| ikonia | klotho: let it finish, see what it says | 10:22 |
| klotho | it completed without errors | 10:23 |
| ikonia | klotho: ok - so we know the repos are fine | 10:23 |
| klotho | the update is broken | 10:23 |

| CopyWriter | if i login and type a url in ubuntu server no matter what url i type in it doesn't open it (i suspect there's no browser installed) | 10:38 |
| klotho | sure, it always did | 10:38 |
| ikonia | klotho: I assume it offers the update to 7.10 as well | 10:39 |
| savvas | klotho: did you update your packages first? the documentation says "Before upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10, you should make sure Ubuntu 7.04 is fully up to date" | 10:39 |
| Slart | nomingzi: ok, it can't find the Mechanize module.. that's what the error is about, I think | 10:40 |
| klotho | ikonia: it always did | 10:40 |
| nomingzi | Slart: thanks | 10:40 |
| ikonia | klotho: on the command line if you do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" what does it do ? | 10:40 |
| klotho | ikonia: as I mentioned before, that works | 10:40 |
| ikonia | klotho: no, that was update | 10:40 |
| nomingzi | Slart: someone has asked me to run sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install WWW::Mechanize' | 10:40 |
| ikonia | klotho: I'm asking for "upgrade" | 10:40 |
| Slart | nomingzi: that might install it, yes | 10:41 |
| CopyWriter | the funny thing tho guys is that i see the server on the client pc's | 10:41 |
| CopyWriter | i just can't login the webadmincp from the server | 10:41 |

| beniya | hi | 10:42 |
| apo_ | Hi, I'm trying to port forward 65534 on my WAN interface to port 22 on a box in my LAN... this is my iptables stuff: http://apo2k4.ath.cx/~apo/iptables | 10:43 |
| apo_ | The sshd on the box is running, but I can't seem to connect from outside. | 10:43 |
| apo_ | when I nmap the port, it says filtered. | 10:43 |
| apo_ | any ideas? | 10:43 |
| savvas | bullgard4: you can try gnome-commander, same functionality but with a graphical user interface | 10:43 |
| ikonia | klotho: interesting | 10:43 |
| apo_ | brb | 10:44 |
| ubuntu40 | ap_: as far as I see, there is no INPUT rule | 10:45 |
| savvas | klotho: what's the output of: ls -R /etc/apt/apt.conf* | 10:45 |
| CopyWriter | or is there another software like ebox's functionality taht i can use on ubuntu (one that works) | 10:45 |
| klotho | this problem is due to dimwitted thinking "oh, it's not supported any more so we'll move it to other URLs" never mind that it breaks everything and there's no need to move it at all | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4, F10 | 10:45 |
| apo_ | ubuntu40: So what do I have to do? :| | 10:45 |
| klotho | the output is /etc/apt/apt.conf | 10:47 |
| ubuntu40 | apo_: input rule at allowes access to the port 65534 | 10:47 |
| savvas | klotho: can you post the contents of /etc/apt/apt.conf in pastebin? | 10:47 |
| CHJA | Interesting. Ubuntu has better support for my Microsoft-manufactured mouse than Vista. | 10:47 |
| ubuntu40 | chja: lol | 10:48 |
| ubuntu40 | apo_: iptables -A INPUT -i <interface incomming> -p tcp --dport 65534 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT should work | 10:49 |
| klotho | savvas: the contents of that file is: APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; | 10:50 |

| borncrusader | hi fellas... i have this query... i wrote an xhtml file with css and viewed in the browser... It worked seamlessly... but when i viewed the same page through apache (localhost), the css file doesn't get rendered... what's the problem here? i've checked the css file's location too... | 11:11 |
| borncrusader | i'm using intrepid | 11:11 |
| savvas | dooglus: I don't know what he did, but he did have us.archive.ubuntu.com instead of old-releases. And he refused to show the sources.list several times | 11:11 |
| ziroday | greenfuji: err they're all quite different. Entertainer is very new and quite buggy. XBMC is the prettiest (do look for new skins if you use it) but can be difficult to understand and Elisa is the simplest and just works however is not the prettiest nor the most feature filled. | 11:11 |
| dooglus | savvas: at that point he was using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades I think - that tells you to use paths which fail | 11:11 |
| dooglus | savvas: he said he had just copied those 3 lines | 11:11 |
| sarmisak | borncrusader: it might be the location of the css file | 11:12 |
| sarmisak | borncrusader: have you included it in your xhtml by relative paths? | 11:12 |
| ziroday | borncrusader: or the permissions on the file | 11:12 |

| ziroday | greenfuji: however I would recommend XBMC once you get the hang of it | 11:12 |
| borncrusader | i've checked it sarmisak... it's the correct location... i've set the ownership of /var/www to myself... so i don't think there's a problem with permissions... | 11:13 |

| Iamanewbiez | anyone has a painless way to convert *.ogv files to avi,wmv etc? VLC keeps on hanging. Ubuntu 8.10. Tnx in adv. | 11:28 |
| Slart | danielax: I don't think you can set scripts to setuid root | 11:28 |
| EhsenSiraj | should I put this command at the beginning in script | 11:28 |
| ganesh1 | ikonia: what is ubuntu build?am new to ubuntu.. | 11:29 |
| ikonia | ganesh1: ubuntu build is the version of grub that ubuntu uses | 11:29 |
| yirmi | Salut tout le monde ^^ | 11:30 |
| Slart | Salut yirmi | 11:30 |
| Slart | !fr | yirmi | 11:30 |
| ubottu | yirmi: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 11:30 |
| danielax | Slart: sure you can, you just set them owned by root then set the permissions to setuid | 11:31 |
| danielax | its a chown then a chmod but i can't remember the exact flags to pass to chmod | 11:31 |
| Slart | danielax: hmm... I've got vague memories from trying to do that some time ago and not succeeding.. I might have just done something wrong. | 11:32 |
| dooglus | danielax: +s | 11:32 |
| oCean_ | danielax: think you mean "chmod 4755" However, I do agree that setuid doesn't usually work with scripts it's a security feature, if you check you will find that the script does not run as root | 11:32 |
| danielax | Slart: it doesn't work for cgi-bin scripts run by apache, but i thought it worked for normal cripts... | 11:33 |
| danielax | maybe things have changed since I last tried it. | 11:33 |
| Slart | danielax: try it.. just make a short script with a whoami or something.. | 11:34 |
| Slart | danielax: I can't get it to work | 11:34 |
| transporter | do u know how to change the caps on the cube | 11:34 |
| smellydog | Hi, my current root is reiserfs, how could i use ext3fs in my /home/smellydog/film ? | 11:35 |
| transporter | does anyone know how to change cube cap images? | 11:35 |
| WENSHU | why is this room's name begin with #, and linux room begin with ##? | 11:36 |
| danielax | wow - you're right and I'm wrong. When was that changed? | 11:36 |
| eights | transporter: its under the preferences for cube, its actually called cap images. one sec let me grab my lappy and i'll tell you how to get there | 11:37 |
| Slart | danielax: I have no idea, it's been that way for at least a year or two | 11:37 |
| transporter | eights: ok | 11:37 |
| danielax | meh - I guess final high-school exams dull your scripting skills :P anyway enough excuses from me - thanks for enlightening me :) | 11:37 |
| eights | transporter: ok, system - preferences - compizconfig settings manager - desktop - desktop cube - appearence | 11:38 |
| eights | then the cube caps drop down | 11:39 |
| Slart | !super | danielax, EhsenSiraj | 11:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about super | 11:39 |
| Slart | bah | 11:39 |
| Slart | !info super | danielax, EhsenSiraj | 11:39 |
| ubottu | super (source: super): Execute commands setuid root. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.30.0-2 (intrepid), package size 129 kB, installed size 872 kB | 11:39 |
| transporter | eights: well i tried changing that it did not work | 11:39 |
| Slart | I think that one can run scripts with setuid bit | 11:39 |
| dooglus | danielax: apparently the linux kernel ignores the setuid bit on scripts | 11:40 |
| transporter | i can still see the default compiz and images loaded as default on the cube caps | 11:40 |

| mau1 | hello | 11:50 |
| linduxed | i just loaded the colemak keyboard layout through System->Prefs->Keyboard, but the thing is that the caps lock key | 11:50 |
| mau1 | how do you install freeradius2.1.3+eap/peap | 11:50 |
| eights | transporter: hmm that should be it. i thought i couldn't find in on my acct, so i loged into my wife's (she's got pics of our daughter as the caps) and checked her settings, thats the place where its setup. try adding two and apply and see if it works | 11:50 |
| linduxed | which is backspace in colemak | 11:50 |
| eights | transporter: if not try turning off the cube (unchecking it from the preferences) and close then re enable it | 11:50 |
| linduxed | isnt set to repaet or to lose the caps lock function | 11:51 |
| eights | transporter: also, dont know if this will make a diff or not but i have the scale image checked also | 11:51 |
| th1 | hi, if I want to use nvidia's driver (downloaded from their site) | 11:51 |
| linduxed | where do i set the following http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/unassigned-bugs/2008-October/03378.html stuff up? | 11:51 |
| th1 | instead of ubuntu's supplied one.. what should I do? | 11:51 |
| th1 | I want to avoid conflicts.. | 11:52 |
| transporter | eights: i found it | 11:52 |
| ziroday | th1: why do you want to use the one from nvidia.com? | 11:52 |
| Gioia-78 | ciao | 11:52 |
| eights | transporter: was it in a diff place? | 11:52 |
| Grayvon | I am having problems switching windows with alt+tab while I am playing Eve-Online, any suggestions? | 11:52 |

| 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 | 11:52 |
| ziroday | th1: you can try use PPA's with the latest -180 driver in them | 11:53 |
| th1 | ziroday, how do I do that? | 11:53 |
| ziroday | th1: its slightly safer then just getting them from nvidia.com | 11:53 |
| transporter | eights: type in cube caps in search | 11:53 |
| ziroday | th1: one sec, finding the ppa :) | 11:53 |
| transporter | eights: you will come up to the cube caps options | 11:53 |
| transporter | eights: and there u will be able to see the default images selected just change it | 11:54 |
| eights | transporter: ahh, sweet! glad you found it (always easier than you think) lol ;) | 11:54 |
| th1 | ziroday, fyi it's this fix I need: "Fixed a regression that could result in window decoration corruption when running Compiz using Geforce 6 and 7 series GPUs." | 11:54 |
| ziroday | th1: https://launchpad.net/~thomas-creutz/+archive add that to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then do sudo apt-get update. After that you need to remove your current nvidia drivers with sudo apt-get remove nvidia-<whatevertheyare> and then do sudo apt-get install nvidia-180* | 11:55 |

| eights | linduxed: right, sorry i miss read your question, your wanting to start as soon as x starts? | 12:07 |
| linduxed | eights: yeah | 12:07 |
| Slart | Kartagis: I'm sure you can make an 100MB ext3 partition if you want to.. or you want to make it smaller? | 12:07 |
| Kartagis | Slart, let me put it this way, what's the fs I can make a 1mb partition? | 12:08 |
| th1 | ziroday, thanks, it seems to have fixed the problem with the titlebars | 12:09 |
| syntax\ | vmplayer occasionally freezes what could b d cause? | 12:09 |
| Slart | Kartagis: ouch.. I have no idea how big the overhead is for the different fs-types.. try fat16 or fat32 | 12:09 |
| energY | I am using ubuntu 8.10. Should there be a dist-upgrade now? | 12:10 |
| Zach_Beauvais | Sorry, one more question... Are there any major obstacles that would make me choose 32bit over 64bit? | 12:10 |
| Slart | Kartagis: just out of curiosity... what are you going to use a 1MB partition for? | 12:10 |
| th1 | Zach_Beauvais, in newest version of ubuntu I haven't seen any yet.. but before it was a hassle with some browser plugins and especially windows codecs | 12:10 |
| eights | linduxed: try in your xinit should be /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc | 12:10 |
| ttestt | hello | 12:10 |
| Slart | Zach_Beauvais: not really.. some proprietary software is only available as 32 bit.. for example my banks firefox plugin for the little security box | 12:10 |
| Zach_Beauvais | th1: thanks... | 12:11 |
| Kartagis | Slart, backup for my configuration files | 12:11 |
| Zach_Beauvais | Slart: yes... bank's sites seem often to fight with the user ;) | 12:11 |

| Slart | Kartagis: hmm.. you, of course, do what you want with your computer... but I wouldn't mess with such small partitions.. I would make it at least 50 MB or so | 12:12 |

| Kartagis | Slart, what fs would you recommend then? | 12:12 |

| ttestt | th1: there are 250kb file - 3gp video | 12:13 |

| linduxed | eights: will try then | 12:15 |
| th1 | ttestt, ok now I see it ;) | 12:15 |
| Slart | Ryan_Delaney: but the answer would be "when the space the log uses actually starts to be noticable" | 12:16 |
| eights | linduxed: in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc you should be able to just put your whole commands 'xmodmap -e "settings here"' | 'xset r 66' or seperate them one per line | 12:16 |

| Fulk | Hi, I'm using Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) and I'm trying to renew a certificate with GoDaddy but it's preventing me saying the CSR includes a possible comprimised key. Now I have upgraded the ssl-cert package by doing apt-get install ssl-cert and it's at version "1.0.14-0ubuntu0.7.10.1". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | snarkster: if you can verify that is absolutely the case then you are ok, you could try setting it to 0,0 just to test, you can always change it back in live cd | 12:35 |

| Plz | Can someone here please tell me how much 8bit is? Should be around 65000? | 12:36 |
| Plz | or so? | 12:36 |
| Plz | 55000? | 12:36 |
| Fulk | 65535 | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Plz: can you rephrase please? | 12:36 |
| Sub101 | plz: how much what? | 12:37 |
| Plz | What you mean? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Plz: if you want the maxint that an 8bit buffer can hold, its what Fulk said | 12:37 |
| useruseruseruser | i installed english ubuntu, now i want korean. how to apply the change? | 12:37 |
| savvas | IndyGunFreak: the bug I'm filing about is because someone complains that they can't upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, and there should be a notification with a link in the update-manager about this kind of stuff when someone eventually connects to the internet and attempts to update their release (for future releases and EoL that is) | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !locale | useruseruseruser | 12:37 |
| ubottu | useruseruseruser: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 12:37 |
| useruseruseruser | i used to do it by language settings but i can't select korean that way | 12:37 |
| Slart | Plz: 8 bits are 8 bits.. can be mapped to integers from 0 to 255 | 12:37 |
| Plz | I have a dc hub running and I got told I need to use another port because it was above 8bit. I had port 76000. | 12:37 |
| slobad23 | i can see my windows network but i cannot see any of the shared folders... am i missing something? | 12:37 |
| jrib | useruseruseruser: enable the language in system -> administration -> language support first. Then at the login screen, click on "options" and choose korean for your language | 12:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | savvas: thats not really a bug though.... | 12:38 |
| Plz | so I wonder how much is 8bit...or more likely, what is the biggest portnumber I can use. | 12:38 |
| useruseruseruser | jrib, i'm saying i can't see korean there | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | slobad23: are you sure they are shared? | 12:38 |
| Slart | Plz: two bytes or 16 bits can be mapped to integers between 0 and 65535 | 12:38 |
| EgYPaRaDoX | is there another application that displays usb info other than lsusb? | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Plz: you arent making any sense. If you rephrase the question using sompler terms we may understand better | 12:38 |
| slobad23 | ActionParsnip, they are available to any windows machine. do i need samba installed on the server? | 12:38 |
| jrib | useruseruseruser: you can't see korean where exactly? I don't have "language settings" | 12:38 |
| Plz | Slart: Ty. | 12:38 |
| Fulk | Tnyone? I've also recrated my key file, but to no avail :-( | 12:39 |
| useruseruseruser | jrib, language support under administration | 12:39 |
| DarkKnight | hey i have problems with flash...can anyone help | 12:39 |
| eights | EgYPaRaDoX: you could check your dmesg, 'dmesg |more' | 12:39 |
| Fulk | Anyone even :-) | 12:39 |
| jrib | useruseruseruser: what version of ubuntu? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | slobad23: nope, thats only if you wish to share linux folders, try opening your file browser and typing: smb://<servername>/<foldersharename> | 12:39 |
| savvas | IndyGunFreak: it's a bug as a wishlist if you think of it as a granny that doesn't know how to get further help :) | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | slobad23: obviously replacing names as needed | 12:39 |

| nnull | i recently got a ATI HD 4350, which is a HD card, and ever since ive had problems with sound, do i need a HD soundcard for HD sound? i don't even have a DVD player let alone a BLURAY so.. don't think i even need HD sound? -- help pls | 12:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | savvas: bug and wishlist are quite different | 12:40 |
| useruseruseruser | jrib, why? | 12:40 |
| jrib | useruseruseruser: so I can try to help you? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: any soundcard will do it | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: just getthe drivers sorted for your soundcard | 12:40 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip, oh ok, do i need to do extra cables or something? | 12:40 |
| ubuntu | how can i connect my tv card? | 12:40 |
| DarkKnight | i have problems with flash...can anyone help me | 12:40 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip, i have latest soundcard drivers | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: after a boot, try reading: dmesg | less | 12:40 |
| savvas | IndyGunFreak: they're both filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug though - I'll ask for it to be included in wishlist | 12:40 |
| jrib | DarkKnight: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 12:40 |
| slobad23 | ActionParsnip, need to try and find the url navigation bar in nautilus :D | 12:41 |
| === ubuntu is now known as damo | ||
| Slart | nnull: not really sure what HD sound is.. I think you can decode most fancy sound streams (DTS, DD, AC3 etc) with a normal computer | 12:41 |
| DarkKnight | jrib;; which channel did you mean | 12:41 |
| savvas | IndyGunFreak: I just want to see if this case stands though, that's why I need the feisty iso image :) | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | slobad23: click to the right of the stupid graphical folder theing, it will turn to text | 12:41 |
| useruseruseruser | jrib, i'll try installing locales, localeconf instead ty anyway | 12:41 |
| damo | i have a tv tuner card in my pc i used it with windows, now i am wondering if i can use it with ubuntu? | 12:41 |
| nnull | Slart, afaik HD sound is sound from blueray-HD movies | 12:42 |
| Slart | damo: best answer... "perhaps" =/ | 12:42 |
| slobad23 | it just shows me an empty window saying "windows shares on <server>" | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: just make sure your system can play sounds in general then make sure your video software knows to use the correct device | 12:42 |
| eights | EgYPaRaDoX: 'dmesg | grep nameOfKeyboard' might be more helpful and quicker at least | 12:42 |
| slobad23 | ActionParsnip, if i could navigate to this using the terminal, it would be better :) | 12:42 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip, the system could play sounds fine before i got the videocard | 12:42 |
| useruseruseruser | oh... don't have those... i don't know | 12:42 |
| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 12:42 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 12:42 |

| damo | is there a way i can setup a tv tuner card in my pc using ubuntu? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: check in bios to let the OS assign irqs | 12:43 |
| Slart | nnull: from wikipedia.. "For audio, BD-ROM players are required to support Dolby Digital, DTS, and linear PCM. Players may optionally support Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, as well as lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio." | 12:43 |
| Sub101 | damo: id suggest using mythbuntu | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | damo: is it usb or pci? | 12:43 |
| damo | pci | 12:43 |
| useruseruseruser | wtf... i used to do it through language support... used to download automatically.. now i can't even see korean | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | damo: run lspci, one line will identify your tv card, you mayl need to install drivers before using mythtv / tvtime / whatever app you want | 12:44 |
| useruseruseruser | used to be automatic in gnome | 12:44 |
| useruseruseruser | ... i dunno | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | damo: websearch for the output you get on your tv card and your on your ay | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | *way | 12:44 |
| slobad23 | ActionParsnip, i take it i need to mount the thing first do i? or should i just be able to browse it through the network? | 12:45 |
| eights | EgYPaRaDoX: does it list a device path? (ie /dev/usb0, or soemthing)? | 12:45 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip, if i goto System > Prefs > Sound and do the sound tests they all make noise, but playing saying flash in firefox i get nothing? | 12:45 |
| damo | ActionParsni: ok cheers | 12:45 |
| damo | ActionParsnip: okay looking now:) | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | slobad23: no, you can browse it like this | 12:45 |
| alexy92 | hey guys just a quick question, if i have a blank hdd and is labeled as disk 2 in computer management in vista, is that likely to change number when configuring grub? | 12:45 |
| useruseruseruser | no one's helping me.... | 12:45 |
| DarkKnight | there's a site on which i have my subject notes put in flash format... i am not able to view it though i believe that flash is installed...can anyone help me | 12:45 |
| useruseruseruser | oh | 12:45 |
| slobad23 | ActionParsnip, do i need to mount it if i am hoping to browse the windows shares through the CLI? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: there are a billion guides to that, websearch for 'no sound in flash ubuntu' without the 's | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | slobad23: then you will need to mount with smbmount | 12:46 |

| jrib | benc1: what are you building from source? | 12:50 |
| Slart | DarkKnight: oh.. then the flash thingy is probably working.. is this on a public site somewhere? do you have an url? | 12:50 |

| bobbyd | damo: what's the driver for? | 12:51 |
| q_ | version :) | 12:51 |
| Slart | DarkKnight: you're not runnnig some other plugin.. flashblock or noscript? | 12:51 |
| jrib | benc1: because there is no canonical way to remove software after installing it like that. Some authors provide a 'make uninstall' rule, but many don't. In that case you just need to rm the files yourself. What are you building? | 12:51 |
| DarkKnight | q_; amd64 | 12:51 |

| benc1 | jrib: I also needed to patch the source | 12:53 |

Thanks. | 12:58 |
| ianh99 | damo: OK that's probably means you card has been detected and loaded OK. Do you know if it's a DVB-S (Satellite card) or DVD-T (Terrestrial) or DVB-C (Cable) ? | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | al3x-admin: did you sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings; gksudo nvidia-settings | 12:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: or run: uninstaller from terminal | 13:08 |

| Kartagis | stpere_, no, not wine, the application | 13:08 |
| damo | ianh99: i have followed the website and i have found my card using dmesg | grep Bt .... | 13:08 |
| stpere_ | Kartagis: try it, it won't uninstall wine itself | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: yes, uninstaller brings up the wine app uninstaller to remove the apps you have installed in wine | 13:09 |
| ErnieDuglas | you use volume control applet added to bar from the Right-click menu, correct? | 13:09 |
| stpere_ | but ask you which application to uninstall | 13:09 |
| threedee | Ernie: the device for playback is set to automatic | 13:09 |
| ErnieDuglas | threedee manually set it to your card | 13:09 |
| damo | ianh99: should i go ahead ewith what the website says/ | 13:09 |
| ErnieDuglas | maybe it says Crystal CSS audio or such | 13:09 |
| threedee | Ernie: I do and try the test | 13:09 |
| Kartagis | thanks | 13:10 |
| threedee | Ernie: I get an error message which starts "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 !" | 13:10 |
| ianh99 | damo: yes. It sounds like the card is OK, you just need to configure channel frequencies etc. Test it with mplayer or something simple first | 13:10 |

| Ward1983 | ActionParsnip, nah i wasted too much time allready | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: i think you can select the audio device with aplay -l | 13:15 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: yes, but there is no alsa device for the internal speaker.. or is there? | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: have a look, there may be | 13:16 |
| ErnieDuglas | Slart: I have a Compaq with internal speaker that worked on first-boot-right-from-Live-CD | 13:16 |

| ActionParsnip | hmm | 13:16 |
| ErnieDuglas | Slart: I use it to tune in NPR morstly now | 13:16 |
| Slart | ErnieDuglas: so you can play regular sounds from it? not just beeps? | 13:16 |
| ErnieDuglas | Slart: correct | 13:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ErnieDuglas, PC spealer is not the same as internal laptop speakers etc | 13:17 |
| Slart | ErnieDuglas: sounds neat.. perhaps they have it connected to the soundcard internally | 13:17 |
| ErnieDuglas | Jack_Sparrow: very true. & it's anyones guess how Compaq hookt it in there. It's probaby just a speaker connected direct to a sound card that sits on the mobo | 13:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | correct | 13:18 |
| ErnieDuglas | I was ultra shockt though when Ubuntu used it right-off-the-bat. :) | 13:18 |

| Stormx2 | achilles: 5900 is a VNC port, not an RDP port, I think :/ | 14:34 |

| ikonia | aar: there is no open office 3 package - so what you've done is not supported | 14:38 |

| bert1 | adam7 -i'm not really sure. the file ends in .asx and streams under wmp10 when i run vista. does that answer the question? | 14:48 |
| adam7 | bert1: some sort of Windows-format stream | 14:48 |
| adam7 | bert1: have you tried VLC? | 14:48 |
| RajaA731 | ikonia: infact my friends got it in a dvd which come with Chips. he himself he doesn't know how to use ubuntu. | 14:49 |

| bert1 | adam7 - i'm not entirely sure how to open a url stream in vlc... i'll give it a go | 14:49 |

| kienerii | Fuzzy: sudo firefox eg | 14:53 |
| adam7 | !gksudo | 14:54 |

| differentreality | hi, i am using ubuntu 8.04 and I have probably messed up my network manager seriously because I can only connect through ethernet. in iwconfig i have the interface wlan0 I can manually set the essid and it even associates with the access point. But I still cannot access the internet (but I'm sure is everything ok with the wireless network). So what should I do to either make the network manager work properly again or in some way connect to the | 15:11 |
| differentreality | internet wirelessly ? thanks a lot | 15:11 |
| n8tuser | Enissa1-> do you get a console with ctrl+alt+F1 ? | 15:11 |
| mrwoody | n8tuser: I was able to set it up so that it mounts where I want it to be | 15:11 |
| bob9999 | anyone got any thoughts? | 15:11 |
| Enissa1 | n8tuser: yes | 15:12 |

| Weili | Hi, i got a problem when trying to compile the miktex package manager: i already untared the directory and changed into it by using cd, and then typed ./configure, just as the tutorial said: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiktexPackageManager but i get this message: "no such file or directory" | 15:13 |
| ne2k__ | n8tuser: not quite. you get a virtual terminal | 15:13 |
| n8tuser | mrwoody-> i dont think they have refined events yet to allow easy usage of end users, am struggling enuff with just using the basics of events | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bob9999, We dont support custom kernels... but that isnt your problem.. try a different country. pull the remix off your list and try update again | 15:14 |
| n8tuser | ne2k__-> what do you mean? | 15:14 |
| bob9999 | but it's security.ubuntu.com that's failing | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Weili, did you cd to the directory where the package is? | 15:14 |
| ne2k__ | n8tuser: you don't get "a console" if you press ctrl-alt-f1 from X Windows. you get a virtual terminal. | 15:14 |
| ne2k__ | n8tuser: there is only one console | 15:15 |
| Weili | yes i think so... all the files of miktex is in the folder miktex-2.7.3135, and i typed cd /home/weili/Desktop/miktex-2.7.3135 | 15:15 |
| n8tuser | ne2k__-> are you sure? you dont get X with ctrl+alt+F1 , those are consoles yes? | 15:15 |
| Black0leander | hi, my mom has a computer that doesn't have an ethernet card and connects to a cable modem with usb. If she installs the latest ubuntu will she have to do anything special to get it working? | 15:15 |

| jef_newbuntu | iv just installed ubuntu 8.10 when i was in WinXp with Wubi.exe Now im booting in ubuntu. First i was wondering what means the different session offered to loggin (eg. Xscript, GNOME, etc) | 15:15 |
| shomon | hi, I'm trying to connect to a vpn with networkmanager, but I get "vpn connection error". I've been to the troubleshooting section at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 15:16 |
| Weili | the folder is on the desktop, and i installed build-essential and libcurl4-openssl-dev (i found no 4 in synaptic) too | 15:16 |
| n8tuser | ne2k__-> okay, where is the only console you speak of? | 15:16 |
| shomon | all I need really is the location of the logs | 15:16 |
| shomon | if anyone knows, thanks | 15:16 |
| slobad23 | jef_newbuntu, gnome is the window manager. you cna choose to install enlightenment, kde, fluxbox - and have all these available to you as window managers later | 15:16 |
| Enissa1 | n8tuser: How, tell what to do... | 15:16 |

| ne2k__ | n8tuser: well, it's essentially there too. it's a bit difficult to explain (probably because I don't understand it fully myself). | 15:17 |
| n8tuser | Enissa1-> you can log on and poke around your log files? | 15:17 |
| fosco_ | VioletsPie: no danger | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jef_newbuntu, Did you do a normal install now that you have finished with the wubi test drive | 15:17 |
| n8tuser | ne2k__-> i do believe those at ctrl+alt+f1 are the consoles, look at the tty definitions in /etc/event.d for those tty | 15:18 |
| kienerii_ | Black0leander: just try ifconfig usb0 oder usb1 | 15:18 |
| VioletsPie | what's the ubuntu equivalent of winrar? | 15:18 |

| Weili | Jack_Sparrow: yes i think so... all the files of miktex are in the folder Xmiktex-2.7.3135" on the desktop, and i typed cd /home/weili/Desktop/miktex-2.7.3135 | 15:19 |

| Adam_ | ne2k__: enlighten me oh ne2k! | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Adam_: the file command is used to identify the file, the extension is fairly pointless | 15:25 |

| RegressLess | Does anyone know a good way to set up a song as an alarm/event notifyer on Ubuntu 8.10? | 16:09 |
| Weejee | nesoi, no, sorry. The network manager not finding your card confuses me | 16:09 |
| Owner | ActionParsnip1: ubuntu is 192.168.2.1 the sharing one(ibook) is 192.168.0.3 the router is 192.168.0.1 that is wrong, no? | 16:10 |
| roger_ | dabd, that old, good luck | 16:10 |
| Weejee | nesoi, the sigsomething error might be in dmesg, try 'dmesg | grep -i eth0' | 16:10 |
| nesoi | Weejee, is there a way to get ubuntu to try to discover the hardware again? | 16:10 |
| dabd | roger_:thanks for the help | 16:10 |
| sully | Is there any easy way for me to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.28 without moving my entire system to a testing version? | 16:10 |
| Weejee | nesoi, not a simple one I know. If you know the name of the driver modulse you can reload it though | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Owner: if the router is connected to the ics system, and then the ics system is connected to the pc getting no internet then i'd say so | 16:11 |
| nesoi | weejee, it says udev renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 | 16:11 |
| roger_ | dabd, i suggested lamp because it has apache already for use for ubuntu, sorry if that didn't help | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Owner: set the ics sharing device to 10.0.0.1 and the client system (currently webless) to 10.0.0.2 | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Owner: the webless wonders default gateway is now 192.168.0.1 | 16:12 |
| === geo_ is now known as geo05 | ||
| dabd | roger_:I see. Thanks anyway | 16:12 |
| Weejee | nesoi, weird stuff. And I don't suppose there's a configuration icon for eth1? | 16:12 |
| Owner | ActionParsnip1: oh.....thats why they do that *!* | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Owner: once you configure the masquerading, the system will see the traffic destined for the 192.168.0.1 address and push the traffic through its other port | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Owner: technically you have 2 networks | 16:13 |
| nesoi | Weejee, there is one, and it looks okay | 16:13 |
| ySQLDarkl | What is a good VM package for Ubuntu Server 8.10? Good is relative to the person I know but what are some opinions around here? | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | and if they are all 192.168.0.x then there is no intelligence to differentiate between | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ySQLDarkl: vmware or virtualbox | 16:14 |
| === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball | ||
| Weejee | nesoi, Can't you connect to the wired network with eth1 then? | 16:14 |
| ySQLDarkl | Virtualbox has a CLI interface? | 16:14 |
| Owner | ActionParsnip1: ok, so then what is 0.0.0.0 all about?? | 16:14 |
| ne2k__ | any idea how I would make ubuntu launch an arbitrary executable when it comes time to launch a screensaver? I want to use a windows screensaver through wine.

| noodlesgc | sully, well then, no, I dont think there is an easy way. | 16:24 |
| Pici | archman_: I don't see anything in the kiso dependencies that looks like pidgin | 16:24 |
| nesoi | ok, how about anyone | 16:24 |
| Pici | sully: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently? | 16:24 |
| nesoi | it says eth1: link up 100Mbps full duplex, which sounds good. but it also says eth1: no IPv6 routers present | 16:24 |
| noodlesgc | yuriks complete removal gets rid of all the old config files | 16:24 |

| Jack_Sparrow | shearn89, You can see how they do it in the !clone example for packages.. | 16:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 16:26 |
| archman_ | Pici: btw: i'm on gnome...maybe thats why he asks for that... | 16:26 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 16:26 |
| Pici | archman_: Why not use gisomount if you're using gnome? | 16:26 |
| yuriks | does it automatically list and remove stuff that depends on it? | 16:26 |
| Slart | MOUD_: "sudo apt-get install python-gtk2", that might the one | 16:27 |
| archman_ | Pici: it support just iso mounting, i need complete support | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yuriks: you can use sudo apt-get --purge autoremove to check | 16:27 |
| MOUD_ | Slart: ok, thanks | 16:27 |
| shearn89 | Jack_Sparrow: but that is designed around aptitude, which can read a file line by line... | 16:27 |
| Pici | archman_: The kiso description doesn't say that it mounts images at all. | 16:27 |
| sully | Pici: 8.10 | 16:27 |
| shearn89 | I'm doing a simple cat $file | while read line... | 16:27 |
| nesoi | ok so network tools shows eth1:avahi with an ip address and netmask, but eth1 itself has nothing... what does that mean? | 16:27 |
| Slart | MOUD_: but it should have installed that already, if you installed it using apt.. | 16:27 |
| archman_ | Pici: ??? | 16:28 |
| Pici | shearn89: look into xargs | 16:28 |

| MOUD_ | hmm | 16:33 |
| Seveas | FoolsRun, chaqnging the root password changes one thing: the root password :) | 16:34 |
| MOUD_ | maybe because I installed python 2.5? | 16:34 |
| FoolsRun | Seveas: so, for example, if I have a server that's logged in as root, but I don't know the password, I can just change it? | 16:34 |

| nesoi | I rebooted to 7.10 and everything works fine | 16:37 |
| nesoi | so give up on 8.04? | 16:37 |
| Seveas | suwro, this is ubuntu support, not dns geniuses :) (Feel free to ask though, but you may not be able to find help here) | 16:37 |
| nesoi | how would I uninstall 8.04? | 16:37 |
| sully | Pici: what package would that be? linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-11-generic? | 16:37 |
| nesoi | to just go back to 7.10? | 16:37 |
| suwro | let's say I have 2 servers 1 for web and second for mail, also the web has mail capabilities too. If I say in dns that | 16:37 |
| suwro | IN 10 mx.[mailserver].net | 16:37 |
| suwro | IN 20 ns.[dnsserver].net | 16:37 |
| suwro | dows ns.dnsserver keep mails on pooling if mailserver is down? | 16:38 |
| shearn89 | hmm. I'm using "$" to denote the end of a line in sed, and it keeps replacing the beginning of the line... | 16:38 |
| Seveas | suwro, that depends on the mailserver config. DNS just determines where others will deliver mail addressed to you | 16:39 |
| Seveas | shearn89, are you sure you escaped the $ in the shell? Else the shell will interpret it | 16:39 |
| shearn89 | Seveas: i didn't. let me try that. | 16:39 |
| suwro | Seveas: ok - what to read to understand this thing - I'm using postfix, but I dont know where to start to look for - or at least what to look at. | 16:40 |
| suwro | is this relaying? | 16:40 |
| Iz_ | my graphic card does not support 3D (system freezes). How can i config gnome to not use any graphic eye candy (appearance>visual effects>none) from the console? | 16:40 |
| shearn89 | Seveas: i did [[ sed 's/\$/ test/' tmp ]], just seems to output the file with no change. | 16:40 |
| Seveas | suwro, postfix can definitely do what you want. postfix documentation on its website should be a good point to start. Make sure both servers accept mail for your domain and that the fallback has an explicit mail route set to the master | 16:41 |
| VioletsPie | My external HD shows up in media/, does that mean its contents have been copied to my internal hd or is that just where it hangs out in the directory tree? | 16:41 |

| nesoi | so if I boot with kernal 2.6.22-16 everything works, but with 2.6.24-23 my ethernet doesn't work | 16:44 |
| Seveas | Qubexy__, depends on taste. I prefer xchat myself | 16:44 |
| noodlesgc | !beste | 16:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about beste | 16:44 |
| noodlesgc | !best | 16:44 |
| 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. | 16:44 |
| nesoi | if I always use 2.6.22-16 will I ever be able to upgrade? | 16:44 |
| burkmat | Qubexy__, Question of taste? Xchat is my recommendation. | 16:44 |
| isiah | what does the exec command do? Yes i have read the man file but i still dont understand it | 16:44 |
| Seveas | isiah, it executes another command, replacing the current one | 16:44 |
| Qubexy__ | I have some problems with Xchat | 16:45 |
| Qubexy__ | but is there anything similar? | 16:45 |
| isiah | Seveas: could you give me an example? | 16:45 |
| fosco__ | Qubexy__, kvirc, irssi... there are many irc clients | 16:45 |
| nesoi | is there a downside to using an old kernal | 16:45 |
| Seveas | isiah, if you do 'ls' in a shell, it'll run that command and then the shell comes back. If you say 'exec ls', the shell will run the command as a replacement for itself (so you don't get your shell back) | 16:45 |
| nesoi | anyone know the answer? | 16:46 |
| suwro | Seveas: thank you | 16:46 |
| burkmat | Qubexy__, Could try to solve the problems instead? :P If not the only thing I've used besides xchat is ircII | 16:46 |
| nesoi | or is everyone here kind of a novice? | 16:46 |
| suwro | I'll go digg | 16:46 |
| elmnas | seveas how do I reach the other discs in dc when I want to share ? | 16:46 |
| Qubexy__ | a IRC client that supports identd? | 16:46 |
| elmnas | cant find em :/ | 16:46 |
| Seveas | burkmat, if you want a terminal-based client, use irssi | 16:46 |
| Seveas | elmnas, I wouldn't have a clue, never used dc | 16:47 |
| MindVirus | How do I theme my Qt apps to use my currently-selected GTK theme? | 16:47 |
| elmnas | ok | 16:47 |
| burkmat | Seveas, Already got ircII working, any obvious benefits of switching to irssi...? | 16:47 |
| Maharaja_ | Hello all | 16:47 |
| Seveas | Qubexy__, that's a windows-ism. On linux you simply install an identd (such as pidentd or nullidentd) | 16:47 |
| isiah | Seveas: Thank you. | 16:47 |
| Seveas | burkmat, other than not being left behind in the 20th century, no :) | 16:47 |

| nesoi | anyone have expertise here? Is there a downside to running 8.04 with the 7.10 kernal? | 16:48 |
| Seveas | Qubexy__, no, it's a searate program that simply runs in the background and answers identd requests | 16:48 |
| burkmat | Seveas, ;) | 16:48 |

| MindVirus | The kernel version number is Linux's. | 16:48 |

| MOUD | I think I have a /usr on another partition too, should I remove it? | 16:49 |
| abwd | LateralLink: what .bundle | 16:49 |
| Seveas | mikejet, what do you mean with "the size of the dns resolver"? | 16:49 |
| shearn89 | Would anyone know why [[ sed 's/$/ TEST /' file ]] is replacing the beginning of the line, not adding to the end of it? | 16:49 |
| mikejet | Ug. I mean to increase the DNS cache size. | 16:49 |
| MindVirus | nesoi, apart from updates and upgrades to the kernel, there shouldn't be any downsides. Upgrades and updates come with more programs using more features, though, so something may not be supported. | 16:49 |
| MindVirus | MOUD, up to you. | 16:50 |

| Seveas | mikejet, you might want to install nscd, which is a very simple but effective dns cache | 16:51 |

| isiah | Adam_: dont start a religious war here. | 16:55 |
| isiah | :) | 16:55 |
| Seveas | Adam_, vim is always available on every unix system, emacs maybe not. So it's definitely useful to be able to do basic editing in vim | 16:55 |
| gogereaver | nesoi dunno does on my old system | 16:56 |
| Adam_ | isiah: religious war? | 16:56 |

| isiah | Adam_: people take there editors very seriously. I am an emacs guy, its very easy to learn and extremely powerful. | 16:57 |
| nesoi | Jack_Sparrow, so kernal 2.6.24-23 is latest | 16:57 |
| Adam_ | isiah: oh, I didn't know there was a cult following for two text editors... | 16:57 |
| Seveas | Adam_, there are more than those 2 editors even ;) | 16:57 |

| isiah | Slart: yes it is, a lot easier then vim | 16:58 |
| gogereaver | nesoi not if you dont whant to | 16:58 |
| nesoi | gogereaver, I mean is there a reason that I really should use the latest kernal | 16:59 |

| WyHiWyL | StanBR: tried that before but didnt help! just no sound although the meter is running. | 17:28 |
| Maharaja_ | ok | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Django[NL], np, it just gets trickey when they are removed etc. and grub has no place to look. I thought the solution was to make a boot partition on the internal. but that is about all I have seen | 17:29 |
| StanBR | WyHiWyL: no sound while you record or when you play it back or both? | 17:29 |
| Django[NL] | Okay, you remember where you'v seen that info ? | 17:29 |
| JMS32 | Anyone cant help with lirc? | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Django[NL], Not at the moment.. | 17:30 |
| Django[NL] | Cauz' now it's starting Windows Vista, instead of the external disk ! | 17:30 |
| AJC_Z0 | What's the package name for the GTK+ 2.x smooth *engine*? I can't find it using the Symantic package manager | 17:31 |
| WyHiWyL | StanBR: when playing an imported file that i haven't edited it yet. | 17:31 |
| bthornton | I understand that Pulseaudio is available for WIN32. Is it possible, then, to stream audio over a network from a soundcard-less WIN32 box to a Ubuntu box with a soundcard? | 17:32 |
| crdlb | AJC_Z0: gtk2-engines-smooth? | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Django[NL], Understood, which is why you would need grub on the mbr of the internal pointing to a /boot on the internal that can access the external if it exists or give a menu option to boot the internal/vista | 17:33 |
| AJC_Z0 | crdlb: Nope. Apt alleges that gtk2-engines replaces it, but i see no smooth engine in that package | 17:34 |
| scotlfs | I know this is a open office impress question, but its really simple...How do you insert a text box in impress? I can't type anything into a presentation I want to work with | 17:34 |
| ZeroA4 | bthornton, last time i check the windows pulseaudio was incomplete and still did not have suport to steam over network... and the source machine has to have a soundcard but can be one not conected to speakers... | 17:34 |
| Django[NL] | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, i undesderstand that, i gonna search for that ! | 17:35 |
| bthornton | ZeroA4: Ah, good to know. Yeah I knew it was possible between Linux hosts, but I didn't want to go on a wild goose chase trying to do it with Windows if it wasn't possible. | 17:35 |
| bthornton | thanks | 17:35 |
| ZeroA4 | bthornton, ok :) | 17:35 |
| scotlfs | And the help system is no help for this...I guess its supposed to be very apparent or something | 17:35 |
| crdlb | AJC_Z0: ah, upstream gtk2-engines has removed the smooth engine because it was unmaintained | 17:38 |
| backbone | Help! I broke VLC somehow. I deleted a lot of default packages a few days ago. Now I get garbled audio and video on playback. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VLC a bunch and reinstalled almost all files that were deleted. Can't figure it out. Any ideas> | 17:39 |
| AJC_Z0 | crdlb: That's not nice. I like smooth themes | 17:39 |
| mikejet | how do I get firefox to use VLC instead of this totem/movieplayer junk? | 17:39 |
| ZeroA4 | bthornton, looks like the windows pulseaudio now has steam over network suport... cool :) | 17:40 |
| backbone | mikejet - install mozilla-plugin-vlc | 17:40 |
| scotlfs | Can someone tell me how to add a text box to an impress presenation? Its not obvious | 17:40 |
| ZeroA4 | bthornton, http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#HowcanusemyWindowsboxtoplaythesoundfrommyLinuxbox | 17:41 |

| Slart | mikejet: ok, you are using the non free flash, right? | 17:57 |

| unitedroad | I have upgraded to Intrepid Ibex. The thing is that after upgrade, the keyboard arrows keys don't work anymore in gnome. They work in the virtual consoles and GDM, but don't in Gnome. I think this has something to do with how HAL daemon sees my keyboard. | 17:59 |

| TTilus | biggi: you have two interfaces configured? | 17:59 |
| stormblue | United, have you looked into keyboard mapping? | 17:59 |
| Slart | mikejet: it's doing a lot of stuff "behind the scenes" for each keypress.. if you're using a slow dns that might be what is killing it | 18:00 |

| Pici | Arelis: There you go then. | 18:17 |
| Zzeiss | Ladywarrior: Easy way to tell is to try. Drop in the Ubuntu Live CD and see if it works. :) | 18:17 |
| Pici | Arelis: You could also try #ubuntu-offtopic, but your answer may be somewhat biased, it is an Ubuntu channel after all. | 18:18 |
| Slart | Ladywarrior: perhaps.. it depends on the camera and the printer.. linuxprinting.org has a list of printers and how well they work.. cameras might be trickier | 18:18 |
| Ladywarrior | ok thanks Zzeiss will try it | 18:18 |
| ruffles_ | willemb: go private | 18:18 |
| Zzeiss | Ladywarrior: The problem is that lots of cameras (especially) the name on the outside has no relationship to the actual circuitry inside. | 18:18 |
| Slart | Ladywarrior: but do as Zzeiss suggested.. try with a live cd first | 18:18 |
| Ladywarrior | oh ok thanks slart | 18:18 |
| Zzeiss | Ladywarrior: So, you can't tell without trying (the mfgr changes chipsets in mid-run because another chipset got cheaper or they got a better deal. | 18:19 |

| Tim__Reichhart | hey guys is it better to have 10/100mb ethernet adpater or gigabit adapter for doing servers | 18:21 |
| stormblue | Tim__Reichhart: it matters if you have the pipe behind it to take advantage of the gigabit adapter. | 18:21 |
| artty | gigabit | 18:21 |
| Arelis | Pici: The distro i'm talking about in that post there that i've been using a long time and been having problems with is Ubuntu... Do you want to recommend me some other distros, or is that forbidden here? | 18:22 |

| littlepinkdot | Tim__Reichhart, tbh the price between the two is identical, even switches are within a few dollars of each other. | 18:22 |
| Pici | artty: Do you have a support question? | 18:22 |
| littlepinkdot | Tim__Reichhart, personally I'd go with gigabit, future proof and for local connections its a blessing | 18:22 |
| artty | nope | 18:23 |
| deany | Jack_Sparrow: my partition? | 18:23 |
| Tim__Reichhart | littlepinkdot you got gigabit ethernet adapters on your pcs | 18:23 |
| artty | im not even sure what this is this is the first time i opened XChat | 18:23 |
| stormblue | Jimi_Hendrix: if you want more help filter out the relivant lines of your output so we aren't see all the garbage. | 18:24 |
| Pici | artty: You are in the official Ubuntu support channel, if you don't have a question you are free to /join #ubuntu-offtopic for somewhat random chatter | 18:24 |
| littlepinkdot | Tim__Reichhart, yes, everything I buy has gigabit. I have a 100meg fiber connection to the net, my main use for gigabit is for local server to server chitchat, not to the web. | 18:24 |

I am currently ssh'd into a remote system and it takes FOREVER for characters to show up. When I watch the bandwidth the shared system is taking most of the bandwidth and its being capped at a really low speed eth0 (shared system) uses 4.5Kb/s while ppp is outputing 4.8Kb/s which means that the rest of my system is only | 19:19 |

| Nightchill | how to fix my no-sound-in-firefox problem? | 19:42 |
| HughCock | just add the vbox repos to your sources.list | 19:43 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: the code in that partition has some assumptions about the rest of partition table | 19:43 |
| barbarella | wolter:this is not bill's channel | 19:43 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: what in firefox would play sounds? the flash player? | 19:43 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: yep | 19:43 |
| jrib | lasivian: write a wrapper for irssi? Or create an alias for root, like alias irssi='echo you are root!' | 19:43 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I here shrink vista partition, and enlarged the linux one | 19:43 |
| lasivian | oooh alias, nice | 19:43 |
| lasivian | thanks | 19:43 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: 1. so i should backup the partition table as well? 2. Is there some nice tool to do this or do I just copy the first bytes of /dev/sda? | 19:43 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: just this... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?lang=it&searchon=names&keywords=libltdl7 | 19:43 |
| wolter | barbarella, it is neither troll's channel. thanks HughCock. Nice name, by the way. | 19:43 |

| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: then I did use that recovery option, to reinstall vista | 19:44 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: and it failed | 19:44 |
| HughCock | wolter: thanks, people have been telling me that all my life :-) | 19:44 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: yeah, and i've installed restricted package, and adobe flash | 19:44 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: Hm that sucks.... | 19:44 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: you might have an option to create a backup disks in vista | 19:44 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ any idea how I can install it? | 19:44 |
| barbarella | hbit:there are a lot of web based application which can solve your problem | 19:45 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: it might be that pulseaudio is running and takes control over the sound device | 19:45 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: those disks replace functionallity of backup partition | 19:45 |
| barbarella | hbit:try to look at hotscripts.com | 19:45 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: it's not for your hardy, but...you can always try...but be careful, dl it and install | 19:45 |
| archman_ | try intrepid | 19:45 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: you should try to either make pulseaudio work with ALSA or deactivate pulseaudio. | 19:45 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I crearted them (2 disks) and this is how I reinstalled vista here | 19:45 |
| Tim__Reichhart | which is better cat5e or cat6 if you going to wire up 3 servers? | 19:45 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: how do i make them work together | 19:46 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: Ah that sounds like a good option - any hints on how to do that? | 19:46 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: Which version of Ubuntu do you run (8.04)? | 19:46 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: Acer eRecovery should have an option for that | 19:46 |
| Nightchill | no, Intrepid | 19:46 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: there you can create a 'factory install disk' | 19:47 |

| Tuxofred | hello | 19:47 |
| === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander | ||
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: you sure you got mp3splt for hardy? | 19:47 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ everything I click on brings me to that libtools. I did download that earlier and compiled it, but it did not solve the issue. | 19:47 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: no you won't need, the install from disk is same as from partition | 19:47 |
| Tuxofred | modprobe rt2500 ==> "module rt2500 not found" how to solve it? | 19:47 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: make sure the flashplayer's version is at least 10, and do the following in a terminal `asoundconf set-pulseaudio' ... i think that should do it | 19:47 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: actually disks contain copy of the partition | 19:48 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ I got the files from http://www.getdeb.net/release/3511 | 19:48 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: flash version is 10, and it's set to Headset cause i don't have speakers | 19:48 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: and first one i bootable | 19:48 |
| Tim__Reichhart | can somebody please answer my question | 19:48 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: can you try speakers setting (what kind of setting is that?)? | 19:48 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: use mp3splt-gtk, works to me... | 19:48 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: you have 2 partitions there right? (actually 3 : recovery : acer : data_ | 19:49 |
| ruhaan_jslip | how do i install knemo in ubuntu? | 19:49 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I installed linux on second partition | 19:49 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: i'm not sure i got this. what i meant was that vista is completly unconfigured for me (just purchased the laptop - no language / users created yet etc.). are you saying i should just copy the partition (from a live cd) to a couple of DVDs? | 19:49 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: you could install it from synaptic... | 19:49 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: yes, I do. | 19:49 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: like i said, i have logitech's usb headset and my asoundconf gives me 2 options "nForce2 Headset" | 19:49 |
| lasivian | jrib: excellent, that works perfectly, thanks | 19:49 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: could you just for the sake of testing try all possible settings? | 19:50 |
| lasivian | Can anyone think of any other programs that root should not be running? | 19:50 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: yeah, I'll do that now | 19:50 |
| lasivian | I'm wanting to protect me from myself :) | 19:50 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: or did you mean some backup option in vista's ui? | 19:51 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ I'm able to install mp3splt from synaptic, but cannot find mp3splt-gtk. when I try to intall mp3splt-gtk from the deb I get "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk2.0-0" | 19:51 |

| fromero69 | hi | 19:52 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: then install libgtk2.0-0 from synaptic | 19:52 |
| fromero69 | anyone home | 19:52 |
| hbit | barbarella: thanks,I'll check it...I've seen openerp but I need a smaller thing | 19:52 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: no, you start eRecovery, insert disks, and this application will write the disks | 19:52 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: then install libgtk2.0-0 dev from synaptic | 19:52 |
| fromero69 | oh wow | 19:52 |

| chrisj | Nightchill hm ... that's weird ... it's all that came to my mind now | 19:54 |
| lasivian | barbarella: hey now, i'm not that stupid :) | 19:54 |
| RanyAlbeg | hi all , can some one help me get a signal from TV using a HDMI-DVI cable? | 19:54 |
| barbarella | lasivian:;-) | 19:55 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: I'll look into that, thanks so far | 19:55 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I was away for a while | 19:55 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: np | 19:55 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: yeah,i have no clue either. guess i'll just remove ubu and give my arch boot some more hdd space | 19:55 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ nope installed them and it still gives the same error. | 19:55 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: you could also deactivate pulseaudio | 19:55 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: dependency of gtk? | 19:55 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: well, i'll try that out too | 19:56 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: that may be easier - just remove the pulseaudio packages and set all application to use ALSA instead | 19:56 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk2.0-0 | 19:56 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: ALSA usually works just fine | 19:56 |
| Nightchill | but all i'm using is OSS, not alsa, not pulse | 19:56 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ maybe a version issue? | 19:56 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: ???? you installed libgtk2.0-dev? | 19:56 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: alsa does not work for me | 19:56 |
| chrisj | Nightchill: why is that? | 19:56 |
| RanyAlbeg | hi all , can some one help me get a signal from TV using a HDMI-DVI cable? | 19:56 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ yes | 19:56 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: AND libgtk2.0-0 | 19:56 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: another option, but rought, is to take another disk of vista (you could even download it from some 'illegal' place, and then use the number on back of computer and version that you have (I guess home premium) to install, it will activate ok | 19:57 |
| ubuntuuser101 | archman_ yes | 19:57 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101: i just can't believe it :D | 19:57 |
| Nightchill | chrisj: alsa worked till i replaced my speakers with usb headset | 19:57 |

| rdw200169 | carboy87: oh, right, i read it wrong | 20:20 |
| paulo | brasil | 20:20 |
| rdw200169 | carboy87: what method did you use to install it | 20:20 |

| Threetimes | Hi, i have a problem with my card reader, it seems to disappear after some time | 20:23 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: eRecovery in vista | 20:23 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: acer's erecovery just popped up | 20:23 |
| chrisj | alright | 20:23 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: it says i'll need 3 dvds - does that sound correct? | 20:23 |
| CarlFK1 | how do I run a command after eth0 gets an IP from dhcp? | 20:23 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I used 2, probably this is OK | 20:23 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I might lost the 3nd | 20:24 |
| dayo_ | william__ for example on the site the download file for Ibex server is called 'ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso' | 20:24 |
| techsuperfreak | RanyAlbeg: not finding anything | 20:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: the third one is probably backup of user settings | 20:24 |
| dayo_ | CarlFK1 what command? | 20:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: you can select 'create factory install disk' | 20:24 |
| CarlFK1 | dayo_: sudo modprobe netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/" | 20:25 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: i think it did that on it's own - i didn't select anything - it just popped up | 20:25 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: what laptop have you got? mine is a 8930 | 20:25 |
| RukusX | Hey everyone | 20:25 |
| william__ | dayo_ yes, I saw that but I am doing an install on a server over a network | 20:25 |
| dayo_ | CarlFK1 just run it? | 20:25 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: aspire 5720G | 20:25 |
| CarlFK1 | dayo_: etc/modues is no good: [ 19.952019] netconsole: no IP address for eth0, aborting | 20:25 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: did you have any trouble getting sound to work in ubuntu? it didn't ork on the live-cd for me | 20:25 |
| RukusX | Is there anything about Linux Mint that make its superior, worth installing, better, easier, etc to Ubuntu? | 20:25 |
| CarlFK1 | dayo_: I want it to run once each boot, after eth0 is up | 20:25 |
| dayo_ | CarlFK1 tried dhclient? | 20:25 |
| william__ | dayo_ I am installing ubuntu server edition on a remove machine over SSH | 20:26 |
| RanyAlbeg | techsuperfreak: thanks for helping | 20:26 |
| oCean_ | BOSOCSLIFE: saw post on apache config. Did you modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file? | 20:26 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: what exactly doesn't work in sound? | 20:26 |
| techsuperfreak | RanyAlbeg: np, i will keep looking | 20:26 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: settings all seem find, but i don't hear anything (also tried to max/unmute everything in alsamixer) | 20:26 |
| RanyAlbeg | techsuperfreak: i appreciate that | 20:27 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: probably another alsa bug, but it is fixable | 20:27 |
| ubuntuuser101-2 | archman_ error with that at the ./configure stage. though said it needed Libmp3splt, so I'm going to try compiling that. if this doesn't work. I will upgrade and see. | 20:27 |
| stormblue | Is this the proper channel to ask a ubuntu server question? | 20:28 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101-2 ok, follow the INSTALL file also | 20:28 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: you might want to send a mail to alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net | 20:28 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: read something about fixes but it seems to involves installing a program called hda-verb | 20:28 |
| dayo_ | CarlFK1 manually? | 20:28 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101-2 i think it said that it needed lib | 20:28 |
| Pici | stormblue: It is, but you can ask in #ubuntu-server as well. | 20:28 |
| ubuntuuser101-2 | archman_ thanks for all your time and help. is there a place I can make as sugestion for this program to be incorporated in the repositories? :) | 20:28 |
| dayo_ | william__ do u have the server edition? | 20:28 |
| RukusX | Is there anything about Linux Mint that make its superior, worth installing, better, easier, etc to Ubuntu? | 20:28 |
| stormblue | Thank you. | 20:28 |
| ubuntuuser101-2 | archman_ ok I'll be sure to read that first. | 20:29 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: yep, this one allows to talk directly to the sound chip, but fixing this directly in kernel driver is better | 20:29 |
| BOSOCSLIFE | oCean_: at one time i think i did | 20:29 |
| jim_p | RukusX, codecs, if you really care about it | 20:29 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101-2 hehe, np... dunno bout reps, i'm using gutsy, i have to build from source, to it one way, or another... | 20:29 |
| BOSOCSLIFE | oCean_: i did everything everyone here is telling me i just dont know where i messed up or if i missed something | 20:29 |
| archman_ | ubuntuuser101-2 now, build the libs, and then the app, tell me if you succeded. | 20:30 |

I've checked /var/log/messages and /var/log/demsg and didn't see anything that screamed there was an issue. Any ideas | 20:41 |

| Slart | weed37: you can install the same plugins in linux as you can in windows (almost) | 20:48 |
| oCean_ | BOSOCSLIFE: nothing? Only the "resuming normal operations" ? | 20:48 |

| BOSOCSLIFE | deany: http://pastebin.com/m587d9a69 | 20:49 |
| BOSOCSLIFE | that is that file | 20:49 |
| chmac | Anyone suggest why I'd want to use an LVM inside an encrypted volume? Or can I just as easily create regular partitions within the encrypted volume? | 20:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | dimitars: You don't. You extract the contents with "tar -xvf file.tar.bz2" and look at the extracted files for something like README or INSTALL | 20:50 |
| deany | BOSOCSLIFE: im not askin about the default file in sites-avail.. you arent gettin anywhere so far.. so try the file in sites-enabled | 20:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | dimitars: What are you trying to install? | 20:50 |
| ikonia | chmac: lvm allows it to be changeable without data loss/move | 20:50 |
| dimitars | firefox | 20:50 |
| gnutron | dimitars: in a terminal, tar -zvjf file.tar.bz2 to extract then cd to the directory and read the install and readme files | 20:50 |
| chmac | ikonia: And the rest of the space is unusable according to the installer if I create a regular partition! | 20:51 |
| ikonia | dimitars: firefox is in the repo | 20:51 |
| chmac | :) | 20:51 |
| AJC_Z0 | dimitars: Why aren't you installing the Ubuntu package for firefox? | 20:51 |
| ikonia | chmac: correct | 20:51 |
| oCean_ | BOSOCSLIFE: so either apache hasn't been restarted, or something else is overriding the DocumentRoot | 20:51 |
| gnutron | dimitars: in a terminal, tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2 sorry | 20:51 |
| ikonia | dimitars: firefox is also installed by default on any ubuntu install | 20:51 |
| dimitars | i have problems with firefox by defaulth and i was recomended to install from the mozilla site | 20:51 |
| Threetimes | AnneShirley: assuming win7's installation i like vista's, you can follow this guide: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm | 20:51 |
| Threetimes | I used some other guide with vista, but looking at this one, i'd say skip page 5 (don't try vista's bootloader for ubuntu) | 20:51 |
| ikonia | dimitars: you where told wrong then | 20:51 |
| ikonia | dimitars: that will do more damage than good | 20:51 |
| dayo_ | what browsers are you guys using? i've got ff3 on xubuntu and it's *really* shaky when it comes to some flash stuff | 20:51 |

And wanted to know how to do <this><that>. Did you ever read http://help.ubuntu.com when you first installed Ubuntu? I'm not attacking on you but it's just how things are in life. | 21:17 |
| dayo_ | whyameye sounds bad | 21:17 |
| stormblue | arcad3: tehre's a program called nVU too. | 21:17 |
| hummesse | is there any way to flush all packages and configs and then install ubuntu-desktop without actully formatting and all? | 21:17 |
| Dre4m | mroc: got you . . . . but under that it says number of desktops . . . | 21:17 |
| tristanmike | now I'm in Absolute Beginner | 21:17 |
| stupid | dayo_: How would I do that please? could you give the commands to use please? | 21:17 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: hm that's weird - vista's partitioner does show me an 11gb of unpartioned space at the beginning of the drive | 21:17 |
| JDShewey | Currently, if there is a heavily firewalled system, it will simply sit there retrying over and over to identify a router. | 21:17 |
| Dre4m | its set to 1 and i cant change it ... | 21:17 |
| stormblue | Then you need to have a more specific question. | 21:17 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: comment is "EISA configuration" | 21:17 |
| gnutron | stupid: just sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/ | 21:17 |
| Adam_ | how would I create a launch icon in my apps -> system tools for gksudo gparted? | 21:17 |
| ronhalfdanr | stormblue: I had a share working but it was inefficient, I've since gone to larger drives so all my data is on one drive and I just want to change the path but follwoing the tutorial doesn't work | 21:17 |
| arcad3 | nvu is not maintained anymore | 21:17 |
| dayo_ | whyameye i thought it was a dual boot or something. which is why i suggested rescue mode | 21:17 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: this is the hidden partition | 21:17 |
| whyameye | dayo_: -). I just stuck the drive in an external USB enclosure. I'll attach after boot. Wish me luck. :-) | 21:17 |
| matt___ | How can I convert a .mov to a .avi? | 21:17 |
| mroc | Dre4m: yes...i believe that setting will control the number of separate "cubes." I could be mistaken about that though. | 21:18 |
| ronhalfdanr | kinja-sheep: yes I checked to forum | 21:18 |
| dayo_ | whyameye good luck! | 21:18 |
| kinja-sheep | stupid: See what gutron said. sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/ | 21:18 |
| lvanderree | hello all | 21:18 |
| stormblue | Ron, have you tried using a USB drive. That worked pretty slick for me in VMWare. | 21:18 |
| lvanderree | I think my system is hacked | 21:18 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: and that actually contains what? i thought erecovery only needed that 3.8gb partition at the end | 21:18 |
| kinja-sheep | gnutron** | 21:18 |
| whyameye | matt___: I use mencoder or ffmpeg for that sort of thing, but there might be a friendlier way. vlc might do it too with its transcode wizard. | 21:18 |
| mroc | Dre4m: but horizontal virutal size will change it from a cube to a hexagon to whatever...however many sides you'd like. | 21:18 |
| dayo_ | stupid: what kinja-sheep said | 21:18 |
| lvanderree | but chrootkit, rkhunter and clamav don't recognize it | 21:18 |
| stupid | Thanks all trying now | 21:18 |
| stormblue | The other issue is that you need to ask a mroe specific question...like..."How can I fix error X when i tried to do Y a, b, and c happens. I've tried D and here are my logs from K" | 21:19 |
| ronhalfdanr | stormblue: that doesn't really work well for me, USB drive that is | 21:19 |
| kinja-sheep | stupid: Use alternative disc (not LiveCD). | 21:19 |
| JDShewey | Trying to create a script which secretly sends network topology information to myself in case my laptop is stolen. What I want to know is is there a way to set a maximum number of attempts for traceroute? | 21:19 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369822 | 21:19 |
| stormblue | Oh, okay. | 21:19 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___: Try mencoder or avidemux | 21:19 |
| dayo_ | stupid: how did u change to 666. I hope it wasn't 'sudo chmod -R 666 /usr/share' ? o_0 | 21:19 |
| kinja-sheep | dayo_: Sounds like it. | 21:19 |
| stupid | dayo_: no -R | 21:19 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: the 10 GB at start of disk is the erecovery partition | 21:19 |
| snake_ | can anyone please help me. i tried to install 2 packages that were broken or i couldnt managed to get , anyways i purged them but now everytime i restart the pc i get a crashed application error saying that those 2 packages couldnt be downloaded. i tried apt-get clean but that didnt help. can anyone tell me how to clear this errors | 21:20 |
| NoEvidenZ | kane_: same to you, try googling avidemux to append videos | 21:20 |
| lvanderree | I have a cronjob for the user www-data and some files from the www-data user in the folder /var/tmp/.ICE-unix/.../.tmp/data | 21:20 |
| stupid | sudo chmod 666 /usr/share | 21:20 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: hm vista's partitioner just got me an "access denied" | 21:20 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: whatever I'll just use gparted | 21:20 |
| dayo_ | stupid: thank GOD! | 21:20 |
| hummesse | is there any way to reinstall ubuntu so that it is completely clean as if it was installed from a cd with format and all? Without using a cd and without formatting that is. | 21:20 |
| kane_ | NoEvidenZ, I found that mencoder can do that | 21:20 |
| lvanderree | anyone who has got experience with recognizing virusses installed through apache | 21:20 |
| dayo_ | stupid: then it's ok. just sudo chmod 755 /usr/share | 21:21 |
| N6REJ | anyone familiar with using a svn ? | 21:21 |
| stupid | dayo_: SYSTEM BACK :) thanks all | 21:21 |
| matt___ | Is the US NTSC or PAL? | 21:21 |
| N6REJ | NTSC | 21:21 |
| gnutron | snake_: open synaptic and run fix broken packages | 21:21 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___: US is NTSC | 21:21 |
| stupid | I wont do that agin.... | 21:21 |
| dayo_ | stupid: -R would have affected *everything* under /usr/share | 21:21 |
| dayo_ | stupid: u're welcome :-) | 21:21 |
| stupid | bye all thanks for help | 21:21 |
| toki_ | can some help me with my monitor problem | 21:21 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___: what do you mean the sound is jacked up?? | 21:21 |
| lasivian | will packages installed via apt-get show up in synaptic? | 21:21 |
| N6REJ | i need to create a svn and i'm not sure i'm putting it in the right spot | 21:21 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: what do you want to know about svn | 21:21 |
| snake_ | gnutron: i purged them. but i am getting this again and again | 21:21 |
| snake_ | every time i restart | 21:21 |
| gnutron | lasivian: yes | 21:21 |
| zenwryly | anyone here using emacs-snapshot? My anti-aliased fonts seem to have gone away with my upgrade from hardy to intrepid. | 21:21 |
| lasivian | gnutron: tanks | 21:22 |
| dayo_ | lasivian yes | 21:22 |
| NoEvidenZ | Why would nvidia drivers not be showing up in my Restricted Modules window? | 21:22 |
| ronhalfdanr | stormblue: I actually have half a clue what to do and hit a trouble spot used to be path = /home/ron/rondata in smb.conf want the path to point to /media/DRV7_VOL1 | 21:22 |
| GARIMA | how to find out that that some other software is being updated in background ? | 21:22 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: i'm going to be dev'n for joomla so I want to be able to svn my files from my desktop IDE to my *nix box so that i can easily test them on apache | 21:22 |
| lasivian | can any of the package lists be sorted by "when it was installed"? | 21:22 |
| dayo_ | lasivian the way i see it, synaptic is basically a gui apt-get | 21:22 |
| matt___ | NoEvidenZ: I used handbrake...the sound was "fast" so to say...like the video encoding worked...but something caused the sound encoding not to work. | 21:22 |
| Eugene_ | ronhalfdanr: can you send me your smb.conf in pm ? | 21:22 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: if I'm making sense.... I guess i could just use the mapped drive, but i'm not sure... I'm too new to development to know | 21:22 |
| gnutron | snake_: if synaptic shows no broken packages you should be ok, unless you installed something manually in which case you un-install manually. | 21:23 |
| matt___ | kdenlive works. Thanks fellors. | 21:23 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: i'll have 3 or 4 projects | 21:23 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___: as in it was out of sync, or as in chipmunks? | 21:23 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: go for svn, it will make you happy ;) | 21:23 |
| === kane_ is now known as AlanTuring | ||
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: so how do I copy the boot sector? | 21:23 |
| matt___ | NoEvidenZ: I used handbrake...the sound was "fast" so to say...like the video encoding worked...but something caused the sound encoding not to work. | 21:23 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: not only to deploy at other servers, but also to have version control | 21:23 |
| matt___ | NoEvidenZ: well...chipmunks. | 21:23 |
| arcad3 | my firefox has an error and does not display back button bookmarks ..etc .. | 21:23 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: and maybe to work together with others (in the future) | 21:23 |
| dayo_ | NoEvidenZ did u reboot after enabling them? | 21:23 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: thats what i thought, so I have to have subversion on the server and then create file structure that apache needs? | 21:23 |
| toki_ | can someone help me with a monitor problem | 21:23 |
| stormblue | ronhalfdanr: can you CD to that dirtectory /media/DRV... ? | 21:24 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___: was it all at the right time, but high pitch? | 21:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: you use dd | 21:24 |
| N6REJ | yeah, thats where we are heading | 21:24 |
| arcad3 | http://pastebin.com/m5020d61d | 21:24 |
| stormblue | Make sure it's mounted. | 21:24 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: we're just learnign to use svn | 21:24 |
| NoEvidenZ | dayo_: Can't enable them, they're not in the list. | 21:24 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: it's the first 512 bytes, right? | 21:24 |
| matt___ | NoEvidenZ: Couldn't quite tell... | 21:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: yes | 21:24 |
| snake_ | gnutron: no the packages were installed at first , removed and purged after only with apt-get | 21:24 |
| dayo_ | NoEvidenZ oh | 21:24 |
| matt___ | NoEvidenZ: Couldn't understand anything anyone was saying. | 21:24 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: so where should the svn path be? In apache where the files will eventually wind up? | 21:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | this will include the partion table as well | 21:24 |
| ronhalfdanr | says no such directory | 21:24 |
| chrisj | ah nice | 21:24 |
| ronhalfdanr | does /home need to go before media maybe? | 21:24 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: I advise to install subversion in combination with apache, there are some howtos on the ubuntuforums and I think wiki as well on how to setup svn with apache | 21:25 |
| arcad3 | can someone help me? http://pastebin.com/m5020d61d | 21:25 |
| NoEvidenZ | matt___: Oh, I see. Try checking if AutoGK has a linux release. That's what I use whenever I re-encode anything | 21:25 |
| gnutron | snake_: what errors are you gettings? | 21:25 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ | 21:25 |
| stormblue | ronhalfdanr: your /media/VRH...isn't mounted. | 21:25 |
| snake_ | gnutron: sorry the package : "sun-java6-doc 6-10-0ubuntu2" failed to install or upgrade | 21:25 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: they are wherever you define in your virtual-host file | 21:26 |
| stormblue | You need to mount it using something like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/VRH.... | 21:26 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: here's how joomla works, you have files all over the place, and we have to create our project and then when done, wrap it into an installer. What I want to do is be able to use eclipse to develop them and test them on my lan server | 21:26 |
| gnutron | snake_: i wouldn't worry about it. | 21:26 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: ok, so they belong in an apache folder then... i'm thinking | 21:26 |
| matt___ | NoEvidenZ: Thanks..but kdenlive seems to be workign perfectly for me. | 21:26 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: I use symfony and eclipse with subclipse and my own subversion + apache server | 21:26 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: no apache folders don't exist ;) | 21:26 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: symfony? | 21:26 |
| snake_ | gnutron: i am not worried but i just wanted a way to get read of it. i tried apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean but that didnt help me | 21:27 |
| csatlose_ | hello all, I would like a little script to run early in the shutdown process. I already have it in /etc/init.d/ | 21:27 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: a php framework, but more flexible than yoomla, but also lots of structured php-files | 21:27 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: ok wait, lets take a step back.... right now i've got eclipse setup so that i have my workspace in /home/troy/public_html/jdev and xdebug is run off the lan server. | 21:27 |
| arcad3 | no one knows? http://pastebin.com/m5020d61d | 21:27 |
| lasivian | ok, my netbook has a really small (top to bottom) screen and lots of windows are too big and I can;t get to the buttons at the bottom, and I can;t move them beyond teh top edge of the screen, ideas? | 21:28 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: apache lives at /home/troy/public_html | 21:28 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: add subclipse to your eclipse plugins | 21:28 |
| N6REJ | kk | 21:28 |
| === lhogie is now known as lucci | ||
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: eh, the man page for dd is quite extensive - could you possible do it out of the top of your head? (thanks for everything again, btw) | 21:28 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: but what do I tell /svnpath to be? | 21:28 |
| lvanderree | it makes it easy to commit your code to your svn-server | 21:28 |
| toki_ | can someone PLEASE help me with my monior problem | 21:28 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: I will, but this command is very DANGEROUS | 21:28 |
| Ankit_22 | Hello I m in a very huge trouble I cant boot windows xp It says invalid partition table. I had a crash of Ubuntu installtion upon 1st attempt. But installed sucessfully upon 2nd. But now I cant boot atall | 21:29 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: I know - but if it does what it's supposed to it's just gonna read data from the partition - not write | 21:29 |
| gnutron | snake_: do you get the error running apt-get or synaptic still? | 21:29 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: s,partion,hdd, | 21:29 |
| rdw200169 | Ankit_22: how old is the hard drive? | 21:29 |
| Ankit_22 | 2 yrs | 21:29 |
| snake_ | gnutron: thats the strange thing. no i dont get any error. i even tried dpkg --configure -a and is ok. it ends without any output | 21:30 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: is that it? dd if=/dev/sda of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 | 21:30 |
| lasivian | chrisj: you're trying to copy the boot sector to a file for backup? | 21:30 |
| ronhalfdanr | power hiccup | 21:30 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: so dd if=/dev/sda of=bootsector bs=1 | 21:30 |
| rdw200169 | Ankit_22: your hard drive may be throwing errors due to age... | 21:30 |
| Ankit_22 | Where actully is partition table is located I might try to modify it | 21:31 |
| Ward1983 | !bridge | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge | 21:31 |
| gnutron | snake_: no errors = no problem, its just a documentation file probably sun java install glitch. | 21:31 |
| Ward1983 | !network-bridge | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about network-bridge | 21:31 |
| Ward1983 | damn | 21:31 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: shouldn't it be bs=512 (it says bytes in the man page) | 21:31 |
| Ward1983 | !brctl | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about brctl | 21:31 |
| Ankit_22 | I can neither use windows nor ubuntu thats total blockdown | 21:31 |
| att0 | is it possible to sync two folders across a wired network (between two Windows & Ubuntu machines)? | 21:31 |
| Ward1983 | any good link on creating a permanent network bridge in ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| dayo_ | att0 u would need samba for that | 21:32 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: if I remember correctly boot secrtor is 512 bytes long | 21:32 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: you can set svnpath to anything you want | 21:32 |
| dayo_ | att0 i remember reading about it in the BackupPC manual | 21:32 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: for example to /home/N6REJ/svn/your-project | 21:32 |
| lasivian | http://www.detector-pro.com/2009/01/linux-tip-backup-your-bootsector.html | 21:32 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: so should it be bs=512 or bs=1 (is 512 default blocksize??) | 21:32 |
| att0 | dayo_:thank you...is there any way to automate it, though? or will I have to manually drag & drop files? | 21:33 |
| lasivian | that shows bs=512 | 21:33 |
| snake_ | gnutron: thank you. i was not worried about something missing because i dont need the java doc but i am worried about how to get rid of the crash error popup that i get everytime i start the pc | 21:33 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: yes 512 is the deafult size | 21:33 |
| dayo_ | att0 u could run a cron? | 21:33 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: but if I want it to put the files svn'd to the proper place i apache then it must at the very least live in the apache folder root right? | 21:33 |
| Krill | whois krill | 21:33 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: or am I thinking about this wrong? | 21:33 |
| ScottG489 | Ubuntu has been freezing a lot recently. Can anyone help? I can't even REISUB much less restart X | 21:33 |
| toki_ | please help me with resolution/monitor problem | 21:33 |
| att0 | dayo_:ok, I am looking into samba | 21:33 |
| gnutron | snake_: how did you install java? therein lies the problem, you could re-try installing | 21:33 |
| lasivian | and I assume you switch it around to restore, which is why it's dangerous | 21:34 |
| juggalo | Hey guys, I tried to install amarok, but it asked me for amarok xine or amarok engine, so I downloaded amarok xine and tried to install but it said "dependacy not satisfiable: amarok" what did I do wrong? | 21:34 |
| snake_ | gnutron: i installed java from terminal | 21:34 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, stormblue let's go back to drives and mounting | 21:35 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: i want my workflow to be somethign like this... create a project, save it to the server, test it, work on it some more, buid it. install on live sandbox as final test., next edit will be checkout edit, save to server repeat | 21:35 |
| dayo_ | juggalo sudo aptitude install amarok-xine | 21:35 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: or do i have it all wrong? | 21:35 |
| juggalo | I don't have internet I'm downloading the files from a friends pc | 21:35 |
| dayo_ | juggalo or sudo aptitude amarok-engines | 21:36 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: do you want to commit your work to svn and do you expect to see the changes immediately on your website? | 21:36 |
| MaximLevitsky | chrisj: if I remember correctly bs is the size of single sector | 21:36 |
| gnutron | snake_: try changing your apt mirror and re-install it, or just re-install using aptitudeor synaptic | 21:36 |
| dayo_ | juggalo oh i see.well then u'll have to dl *all* the dependencies. can be a pain in the ass | 21:36 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: i want to see the changes promptly | 21:36 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: that is not the case I can tell you ;) | 21:36 |
| lasivian | toki_: what exactly is the problem? | 21:36 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: you want to do a (local) checkout on the server as well in the web-folder | 21:36 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: oh, well advise me please this is my first tiem doing dev... I'm a 1970's basic programmer | 21:36 |
| chrisj | MaximLevitsky: the following worked for me: dd if=/dev/sda of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 | 21:37 |
| juggalo | How will I go about finding the right ones dayo? | 21:37 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: i think so | 21:37 |
| KenBW2 | how do you disable compiz from the command line? | 21:37 |
| * N6REJ is getting confused again :( | 21:37 | |
| snake_ | gnutron: ok thanks | 21:37 |
| lvanderree | N6REJ: so you commit from your desktop to the svn-server, and on your webserver do a checkout from the svn-server (the svn-server and the web-server) can very well be the same machine | 21:37 |
| === bascht_ is now known as bascht | ||
| toki_ | lasivian: ok my system will not reconize my monitor there for my resolution is super low 640*480 | 21:38 |
| N6REJ | lvanderree: ok and the svn lives at the same place the webserver does? | 21:38 |
| === Krill is now known as Whismeril | ||
| lvanderree | N6REJ: but point is that the repository folder cannot be the web-folder, you have to do a checkout | 21:38 |

| N6REJ | ok | 21:38 |
| N6REJ | ty | 21:38 |

| N6REJ | lvanderree: gotcha | 21:39 |
| lvanderree | have fun | 21:39 |

| Ward1983 | any good link on creating a permanent network bridge in ubuntu? | 21:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, I would think you would apt-get remove ccsm (using the right name) or shutting down gdm and metacity --replace | 21:40 |
| Ward1983 | how do i make a permanent bridge? | 21:40 |

| lasivian | toki_: so you have a picture but it's the wrong resolution? | 21:41 |
| toki_ | yeah | 21:41 |
| lasivian | toki_: I don;t understand exactly what is wrong | 21:41 |
| lasivian | toki_: What happens when you try to change the resolution? | 21:41 |
| toki_ | the resolution is maxed out at 640*480 | 21:41 |
| chrisj | dimitar: i guess that's just the flashplayer consuming all the cpu and when firefox gets its turn flashplayer doesnt get enough | 21:41 |
| ian__ | what is the approved method of asking for assistance here? | 21:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | 21:42 |
| dimitar | chrisj so there is some solution? | 21:42 |
| 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. :-) | 21:42 |
| tnjed | when i boot into ubuntu's gui (live and after install) i have a horrific frame rate. its like the computer only respons for a split second every 3 or 4 seconds. i've tried the vga=771 to no avail. | 21:42 |
| toki_ | lasivian: with it not reconizing my lcd it wont let me go above 640 | 21:42 |
| dayo__ | juggalo http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=amarok&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all | 21:42 |
| chrisj | dimitar: none that i know of - and that was just a guess | 21:42 |
| dimitar | ty | 21:42 |
| dimitar | anyway | 21:42 |
| dayo__ | juggalo that's assuming u're on ibex | 21:42 |
| tnjed | have the same problem in knoppx, but booting with fb1024x786 fixes it. | 21:43 |
| Rainmaker | I'm on hardy | 21:44 |
| majnoon | !ot | 21:44 |
| lasivian | toki_: i'm guessing "detect displays" does nothing | 21:44 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:44 |
| toki_ | lasivian: right | 21:44 |
| Rainmaker | Can I just take out inteprid nd put hardy? | 21:44 |
| majnoon | no worry it for ME :) | 21:44 |
| ian__ | lol. ok. How do I get Ibex to see my WinXP network shares? Places --> network sees the windows network and it's workgroup name, and I can ping the XP box (by IP as well as name), but the box is not listed under the network in Places --> network... ??? | 21:44 |
| tnjed | i thought ubuntu has the framebuffer enabled by default. so is it a dma problem or something? | 21:45 |
| dayo__ | Rainmaker = juggalo? | 21:45 |
| lasivian | toki_: no idea, i'm a newbie too, i'd probably try another monitor or see if there is another video driver | 21:45 |
| Rainmaker | yeah | 21:45 |

| ubottu | ian__, please see my private message | 21:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, closed source video drivers installed perhaps? | 21:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, ctrl-alt-F2 Does that get you a terminal screen | 21:47 |
| dare | is there some lightweighted sustem monitor with abbility to kill processes because this one integreted in ubuntu takes too much resoures and it pain to kill some process wich became unstable and hungry for cpu :) and takes 100% so sys monitor is inpossable to be even run properly | 21:47 |
| KenBW2 | Jack_Sparrow: yep | 21:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, Can you get to a terminal with that? | 21:47 |
| KenBW2 | Jack_Sparrow: only before logging in though, and immediately after | 21:47 |
| KenBW2 | Jack_Sparrow: yea | 21:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, what video card | 21:47 |
| Ankit_22 | Hello how do I modify patition table ? | 21:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ankit_22, a table or a partition | 21:48 |
| Ankit_22 | Partition table | 21:48 |
| ian__ | yes, thank you. i have tried samba, samba client, and smbfs with no success. i have no need for the XP box to access Ubuntu, but rather the reverse | 21:48 |
| KenBW2 | Jack_Sparrow: erm, dont know, it's for a friend | 21:48 |
| KenBW2 | Jack_Sparrow: how do i find out | 21:48 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | What is the difference between the server and desktop versions of Ubuntu? Is it just the desktop environment, or it the server version optimized for server use in other ways? | 21:48 |
| tyler_d1 | hola | 21:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ankit_22, If you know what you are doing you can dd an image, edit the image and dd it back.. but that is beyond what I will go into in here | 21:49 |
| karl87 | hey i have an issue i can play video in firefox but there is no sound?? i can find a fix on google | 21:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, laptop or desktop | 21:49 |
| dare | is there some lightweighted system monitor with abbility to kill processes because this one integreted in ubuntu takes too much resources and it is pain to kill some process which became unstable and hungry for cpu :) and takes 100% so sys monitor is inpossable to be even run properly | 21:49 |
| KenBW2 | Jack_Sparrow: desktop | 21:49 |
| Ankit_22 | I kinda have a back up of it | 21:49 |
| Slart | CoJaBo-Dell: I think the server a differently configured kernel.. PAE enabled and such.. oh.. and server doesn't have gnome/KDe installed | 21:49 |
| Ankit_22 | users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 this is | 21:49 |
| stormblue | dare: cronky? | 21:49 |
| dare | stormblue, cant kill | 21:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KenBW2, try lspci | grep -i vga | 21:50 |
| karl87 | conky is a pain to get setup tho | 21:50 |
| stormblue | Oh, yeah, I wondered about that. | 21:50 |
| dayo__ | dare what are u using? | 21:51 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | Is it possible to install the desktop environment (preferably something lightweight, just enough to allow access to a webbrowser and basic games) on the server edition, or is it better to start with the desktop edition and install server packages? | 21:51 |
| dare | dayo__, system monitor which comes with ubuntu | 21:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CoJaBo-Dell, either will work.. just add lamp to desktop | 21:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !lamp | 21:52 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:52 |
| dayo__ | dare open your terminal and type 'top' | 21:52 |
| dayo__ | dare without the '' | 21:52 |
| gnutron | ian__: nfs is the alternative. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 21:52 |
| dayo__ | dare, the left-most column gives u the ProcessID | 21:52 |
| chrisj | CoJaBo-Dell: you can do that with the server edition - aside from the different kernel there's barely any difference ... if you want a full desktop environment that is lightweight you might want to try xfce - start looking at the xubuntu-desktop package and install that - if you feel like you don't need some particular program you can skip it | 21:52 |
| deltah | hi! I have a problem, i installed ubuntu with wubi. and this morning ubuntu didnt shutdown properly, it hanged at the last part of shutdown process, so i had to pull the plug. | 21:53 |
| dayo__ | dare u use that to kill the process. e.g kill -9 <pid> | 21:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !wubi > deltah | 21:53 |
| ubottu | deltah, please see my private message | 21:53 |
| deltah | since then i cant boot neither ubuntun *no wubildr nor windows | 21:53 |
| Ankit_22 | ok just tell me what kinda patition table is this I ll modify it users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 21:53 |
| flink12 | got a problem when im updating pkg was interrupted you must manually run dpkg configure to correct the problem ??? what to do ??? | 21:54 |
| dayo__ | dare 'man kill' gives u more info on the options and whatnot | 21:54 |
| ScottG489 | Ubuntu has been freezing a lot recently. Can anyone help? I can't even REISUB much less restart X | 21:54 |
| dayo__ | flink12 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 21:54 |
| Kidfork | How can i format my curent Partition to NTFS? | 21:54 |
| dare | dayo__, yeah Im killing process on similar way :) just sudo killall firefox or opera which are mostly troublemakers but just wondered is there some lightweighted sys monitor | 21:54 |
| deltah | so nobody can tell me how do get my system running again | 21:54 |
| keveycakes | Is there any program available to put music or photos on and off of my itouch?? | 21:54 |
| deltah | even from live cd i cannot mount my hdd | 21:54 |
| dayo__ | dare i tend to stick to the command-line, myself | 21:54 |
| karl87 | anyone no sound with firefox?? | 21:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, Please read the wubi faq page. I personally wont use it recommend it or obviously provide support for it.. But you are free to ask for help, just make sure they know you used wubi as it does make a difference | 21:54 |
| dayo__ | deltah what's up? | 21:55 |
| CyberGabber | ian__: Supose your XP-machine = 10.0.0.50 In Ubuntu ppen webbrowser en type in adressbar: smb://10.0.0.100 Check if that display the shares | 21:55 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | chrisj, etc.: Thanks. The system will be primarily used as a server, so I guess I'll start with the server edition and install the desktop packages. Are XFCE/gnome/KDE the only officially supported, or are there others? | 21:55 |
| dare | dayo__, Im relatively new one and gui and user frendly is prefered than terminal :) | 21:56 |
| deltah | dayo_ i think, ubuntu has screwed my ntfs file system at shutdown, as it did not shutdown properly. I had to pull the plug and now windows cant start anymore | 21:56 |
| detox420 | if i wanted to set up a network between 2 computers using a cat 5 crossover cable and since im using my phone as a usb modem i want to share internet between both computers is this a possible thing? | 21:56 |

| deltah | dayo_ nor does ubuntu start as it had no own partition. from gnewsense live cd i can~t mount hdd, but it~s shown | 21:57 |
| CyberGabber | ian__: Sorry, smb://10.0.0.50 if XP = 10.0.0.50 ( just the same ) | 21:57 |
| dayo__ | dare well don't let the terminal intimidate u. it's very powerful | 21:57 |
| karl87 | what does this mean audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument | 21:57 |
| Kidfork | guntbert: Yes i no im planning to be beta testing for Windows 7 | 21:57 |

| KenBW2 | CyberGabber: so yea | 22:04 |
| whyameye | deltah: there's a S.M.A.R.T utility that will run in Linux. I don't know anything about it but my guess is that will at least tell you if this is a hardware failure or not. You might look for it. | 22:04 |

| deltah | whyameye ok, thanks for the hint. | 22:05 |
| hatter243 | Some_ux, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Provided you're running hardy | 22:05 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux 2) sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:05 |

| CyberGabber | KenBW2: ssh yourfriendIPadres | 22:05 |
| deltah | whyameye but as i said, slax can read the hdd, not write, gnewsense can neither read nor write. if hdd was broken, then i think nobody could read it, or am i mistaken_ | 22:05 |
| deltah | ? | 22:05 |
| hatter243 | KenBW2, you have to get your friend to tell you his public IP address | 22:06 |
| aoliveira | mroc, now my sound only make noise when i try play a mp3 or any sound | 22:06 |
| pentaside | Jeruvy: Sorry, I was distracted, I think I just found my answer in this Forums post... I'll get back with you in a second. | 22:06 |
| mroc | aoliveira: ok. double click on the volume icon to bring up the preferences. | 22:06 |
| KenBW2 | CyberGabber: yourfriend being the external IP and IPadres being the one in ifconfig? | 22:06 |
| dare | does anyone knows how to disable icons by text dialogs yes no etc.. ? in ubuntu 8,10 dark theme | 22:06 |
| Some_ux | sudo apt-get install dnsmasq , should install the latest version then ? | 22:06 |
| whyameye | deltah: yeah you don't know if slax can read every single sector. It could be 1 sector is bad, and that happens to be needed by Windows boot. | 22:06 |
| whyameye | deltah: quick Google search --- maybe this will help? http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2008/12/check-your-hard-drive-smart-status.html | 22:06 |

| aoliveira | mroc, hmm? | 22:07 |
| KenBW2 | CyberGabber: yea im hoping it does | 22:07 |
| deltah | whyameye> thanksfor the link | 22:07 |
| maxb | lasivian: Based on that question I suspect you're using compiz? You can change a setting to allow this either in gconf-editor or ccsm. The setting is under the "Move" plugin and is called "Constrain Y" | 22:07 |
| mroc | aoliveira: in the standard install, the top right corner should have a volume icon. if you double click on it, it will bring up a window. on of the options on that window is a preferences button. click this button. | 22:07 |
| CyberGabber | KenBW2: supose your friend has IP-adres 111.222.333.444, then you do : ssh 111.222.333.444 | 22:07 |
| Some_ux | How do i know that the version apt-get installed is indeed the latest version ? | 22:07 |

| Ankit_22 | can someone tell me how do I modify patition table Where can I find it ? on what drive in which folder ? plz I need it | 22:08 |
| KenBW2 | CyberGabber: doesnt that just take me to her router? | 22:08 |
| Slart | Some_ux: it probably isn't.. but it's the latest version that has been packaged and tested for your distribution | 22:08 |
| stormblue | Ankit_22: try a program called gpart. | 22:08 |
| aoliveira | mroc, there is a tab PlayBack and Switches | 22:08 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux compare. Before upgrading do 'sudo apt-get show dnsmasq' | 22:08 |
| aoliveira | mroc, Master sound is at max | 22:09 |
| Slart | dayo__, Some_ux: apt-cache policy <packagename> might give better info when it comes to versions | 22:09 |
| maxb | Ankit_22, stormblue : gparted, not gpart. Ankit_22: The partition table is not a file. | 22:09 |
| aoliveira | mroc, but the PCM at minimun | 22:09 |
| CyberGabber | KenBW2: Normally yes. The settings in the router should be routing SSH-traffic to her PC. | 22:09 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 22:09 |
| Ankit_22 | But does it deleted my files ? | 22:09 |
| KenBW2 | CyberSix: how do i tell ssh which PC i want? | 22:09 |
| aoliveira | mroc, now it worked | 22:10 |
| CyberGabber | KenBW2: only if that all has been setup right in that router / firewall etc. | 22:10 |
| dayo__ | Slart awesome. Thanks! | 22:10 |
| Tetracomm | Have any Meebo users in here been able to start voice conversations while in Ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| Ankit_22 | Does that program Gpart delete my files upon partition cretion ? | 22:10 |
| mrwes | how I do config SSH to use port 2222 instead of port 22? | 22:10 |
| KenBW2 | CyberGabber: so it'd have to be open specifically for ssh? | 22:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ankit_22, yes | 22:10 |
| Slart | Ankit_22: creating partitions won't delete files.. removing a partition with files in it will kill the files | 22:11 |
| doglino | I'm trying to install the last version of pidgin 2.4.3 but I can't dot. There is a error: | 22:11 |
| mrwes | KenBW2, you have to setup IP forwarding in the router | 22:11 |
| doglino | You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build. | 22:11 |
| doglino | If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so | 22:11 |
| doglino | I can find them. | 22:11 |
| FloodBot2 | doglino: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:11 |
| lrdapex | mrwes: edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file | 22:11 |
| Ankit_22 | Thanks a lot | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slart, In his case.. he is going to lose data.. If what we were talking about still stands | 22:11 |

| Slart | doglino: why not use the version from the repos? | 22:11 |
| weed37 | hi guys is there a guide on how to setup evolotion mail client with my gmail account on 8.10 | 22:11 |
| Some_ux | I know that the dnsmasq package has an update available to solve a security issue. The question is, how do install this patch without using dpatch and recompiling the source ? | 22:11 |
| mrwes | lrdapex, and use RemoteForward 2222:localhost:22 | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !compile > doglino | 22:12 |
| baytes | weed37 yes in the settings tab of gmail ubder pop | 22:12 |
| ubottu | doglino, please see my private message | 22:12 |
| doglino | ok/ | 22:12 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux aah i see what u mean. have u tried looking for a .deb of the update? | 22:12 |
| weed37 | thanks m8 | 22:12 |
| mahfiaz | does anybody have pulseaudio eating up 10% cpu, after being used for some time? | 22:12 |
| Ankit_22 | How about the filesystem ? I have patitions some of them are NTFS few FAT32 and 1 JFS according to ubuntu explorer but GPart does nolt show any partition but it rather shows whole of the Harddisk | 22:13 |
| lrdapex | mrwes: im unsure of the remoteforward, i've always just changed port to whatever | 22:13 |
| mahfiaz | which makes it worse, is it is running in realtime priority | 22:13 |
| mrwes | lrdapex, ok...yah I see that at the top | 22:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ankit_22, get the livecd of gparted and look at your partitions with that | 22:13 |
| mrwes | lrdapex, do I need to restart anything? | 22:13 |
| carl- | anybody here who has a working "apple wireless keyboard" ?? | 22:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted | 22:13 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 22:13 |
| lrdapex | mrwes: you can put Port 22 2222, yes /etc/init.d/sshd restart | 22:14 |
| lrdapex | mrwes: rather /etc/init.d/ssh | 22:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carl-, You mihg look at this... Mac Hardware Running Ubuntu... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro | 22:14 |
| doglino | Slart repos has not the last version. (sorry about english) | 22:14 |
| lrdapex | mrwes: man sshd_config for more info | 22:14 |
| mrwes | lrdapex, ok thanks | 22:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carl-, YOu can also /join #Ubuntu-powerpc | 22:14 |
| Some_ux | dayo___ : all i can see is what is in http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/net/dnsmasq | 22:14 |
| CyberGabber | mrwes: I believe SSH-port changing by : vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config after changing do: service sshd reload | 22:15 |
| Slart | doglino: the english is fine.. any particular reason you want the latest version? have they done something new with it? | 22:15 |
| carl- | Jack_Sparrow: thanks .. hmmm .. whough i want it to run on a pc with just that keybard connected | 22:15 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux u won't see the latest in there. only the stablest | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Out of Date? !latest: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. | 22:15 |
| mrwes | CyberGabber, gotcha | 22:15 |
| chazco | Hi... how can I disable the startup sound? The option in prefs->sound doesnt work :( | 22:16 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux there is no "just released" stuff in the packages | 22:16 |
| Cpudan80 | !info wpasupplicant | 22:16 |
| ubottu | wpasupplicant (source: wpasupplicant): Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (intrepid), package size 302 kB, installed size 788 kB | 22:16 |
| Some_ux | where can i find the latest then ? | 22:16 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux in the repository, i mean | 22:16 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux try the dnsmasq site? | 22:16 |
| CyberGabber | mrwes: But why change a SSH-port ? SSH should be safe | 22:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Some_ux,Not in our repos.. Please have a backup for use if and when you break your dependencies | 22:17 |
| chazco | I've selected the "disabled" option in the sound preferences, but it still plays. Considering reinstalling, since its causing some major issues (in lectures etc) | 22:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, You need to double or right click where it says login sound | 22:18 |
| Some_ux | I don't think i need the latest, The one noted in the Updates page should probably be good enough | 22:18 |
| chazco | Jack_Sparrow - I found the sound and disabled it, but it still plays... | 22:18 |
| Asp1 | hi! | 22:19 |
| doglino | Slart yes there is novelty | 22:19 |
| dayo__ | hi | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, Where it says login left click where it says default and set it to non I believe.. just to try it | 22:19 |
| Some_ux | Googling I found this link: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 22:20 |
| chazco | Jack_Sparrow - Thats what ive done (tried re-enabling it also, just in case)... its ignoring the setting | 22:20 |
| Some_ux | Is this a reliable link ? | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, system..admin..login window... | 22:21 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux i should think so | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, system..admin..login window...accessibiltiy | 22:21 |
| chazco | Jack_Sparrow - Thats a different sound, its the longish Ubuntu theme music thats the issue | 22:21 |
| Some_ux | I mean is the security.ubunutu.com namespace an official ubuntu domain site ? | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, those are the only two places I know of | 22:22 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux yeah it a subdomain | 22:23 |
| chazco | Jack_Sparrow - Ok... i know which setting i want (since it used to work), but its being ignored | 22:23 |
| Some_ux | ok, so How do i install it ? something wget and dpkg | 22:24 |
| Some_ux | ? | 22:24 |
| dannywesleypasqu | hello | 22:24 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux yes u would 'wget -c http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 22:24 |
| dayo__ | 'wget -c http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 22:24 |
| dannywesleypasqu | ? | 22:25 |
| dayo__ | without the damn ' | 22:25 |
| Some_ux | :) | 22:25 |
| mrwes | hrmmm Ricardo Montalban died today | 22:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 22:25 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux then dpkg -i http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Package/file dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb does not exist in intrepid | 22:25 |
| dayo__ | ugh | 22:25 |
| mrwes | oops..sorry wrong channel | 22:25 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux dpkg -i dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 22:25 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux HOWEVER i don't know if this would update your current dnsmasq | 22:26 |
| chazco | So... any other ideas on disabling the login sound? Reinstalling seems like a really bad way to do it :( | 22:26 |
| dayo__ | Some_ux maybe someone in here can shed light on this? | 22:26 |
| dannywesleypasqu | exit | 22:26 |
| Some_ux | Luckly, none is installed atm | 22:26 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !find dnsmasq | 22:26 |
| ubottu | Found: dnsmasq-base, dnsmasq | 22:26 |
| KenBW2 | chazco: it's in System Prefs Sessions i think | 22:26 |

| chazco | KenBW2 - The option isnt working, its being ignored | 22:26 |
| baytes | chazco: if you know this file name, find it and delete ;) | 22:26 |
| chazco | baytes - Actually... that may be worth following up :) Outside-the-box answer, nice :) | 22:27 |
| KenBW2 | chazco: System Prefs Sound? | 22:27 |
| chazco | KenBW2 - The setting for the theme music in under Sounds, thats the one being ignored | 22:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Some_ux, sudo apt-get install dnsmasq-base | 22:27 |
| dayo__ | Jack_Sparrow u can use apt-get on a .deb? | 22:28 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | Is there any easy way to dismount my /usr partition and move it do another hardrive? | 22:28 |
| dayo__ | Jack_Sparrow. Nevermind. Of course u can. | 22:28 |
| baytes | chazco: its what i would do. first sudo updatedb then do locate $filename |grep .wav | 22:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dayo__, that pulls it from our repos, which is the recommended way of installing that | 22:28 |
| portz | Hey all. Could use some help installing nvidia drivers for Geforce 8400 GS. I've download 180.22 from the nvidia website, run it, and it tells me that I'm running an X server and to quit it. Can someone walk me through it? | 22:28 |
| oholiab | SchmittyDoesIt: I think you can just copy the content across and then set it to mount in fstab | 22:28 |
| baytes | chazco: where $filename = what you think the file is called | 22:28 |
| portz | Edit: downloaded | 22:29 |
| dayo__ | Jack_Sparrow right. | 22:29 |
| nachoR | a spanish channel? | 22:29 |

| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 22:29 |
| chazco | baytes - Yep... may trying changing it a silent file... thanks for the help :) | 22:29 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | oholiab I will try this | 22:29 |
| Antharian | portz: then login: sudo su - (become root) | 22:29 |
| dayo__ | Jack_Sparrow and i should know, seeing as how i posted the link. I shouldn't be allowed near heavy machinery, right now | 22:29 |
| baytes | chazco: np | 22:29 |
| nachoR | oks | 22:29 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | oholiab what do i put in fstab | 22:29 |
| Antharian | portz: as root: /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 22:29 |
| neil_d | can you configure openssh (on Linux) to only allow ssh tunnels not ssh logins etc.? | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Antharian, Not the best choice for setting up root user | 22:30 |
| Antharian | portz: then run the NVDIA install | 22:30 |
| hydrozen | hi, just wondering, if i install ubuntu server with LVM, it means that I can always add a second drive later on to the LVM, and then make my two drives appear as one big partition right??? | 22:30 |
| oholiab | SchmittyDoesIt: give me a minute and I'll have a look :) | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Antharian, Sudo SU: Instead of sudo su please suggest sudo -i as properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. | 22:30 |
| dayo__ | good nite, people | 22:30 |
| dayo__ | it's been informative | 22:30 |
| ikonia | hydrozen: as one logical volume yes | 22:30 |
| n8tuser | hydrozen-> i believe thats the concept yes | 22:30 |
| Some_ux | Jack_Sparrow : the question is whether the apt-get install will get the package which belongs to the updated version or the one which is defined in the standard repository for Hardy | 22:30 |
| hydrozen | ikonia or n8tuser: any good tutorial out there on how to do that? | 22:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | That is the one it will install and is the recommended choice | 22:31 |
| n8tuser | hydrozen -> i have only seen it linux admin book, but i have not googled for one | 22:31 |
| * Antharian wonders off | 22:31 | |
| SchmittyDoesIt | oholiab | 22:31 |
| ikonia | hydrozen: 1.) pvcreate the new disk 2.) vgetend the volume with the new disk, your done | 22:32 |
| Some_ux | Jack_Sparrow : I have hardy not intrepid | 22:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Some_ux, Look in synaptic to see what release is in there. | 22:33 |
| planb_ | hi | 22:33 |
| Some_ux | Jack_Sparrow: Hardy server (no X) | 22:33 |
| planb_ | have somebody asus r2h ? | 22:33 |
| * System_128 Hi | 22:33 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | Some_ux, them man apt and look at how to do it apt cache search something | 22:34 |
| * System_128 i got a question? | 22:34 | |
| Some_ux | :) | 22:34 |
| Some_ux | k | 22:34 |
| eseven73 | !ask | System_128 | 22:35 |
| ubottu | System_128: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:35 |
| mani_ | how to run C socket programs | 22:35 |
| ikonia | mani_: come on, your writing C programs but you don't know how to run them ? | 22:35 |
| * Antharian curses 8.10's networking | 22:35 | |
| mani_ | i know | 22:35 |
| portz | To whoever was trying to help me: Did not work. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | mani_: there are plenty of guides on the net | 22:35 |
| * System_128 am not really good with irc and i wanted to ask where can i get the commands | 22:35 | |
| n8tuser | mani_ -> if it accesses ports below 1024 you need to be root, above it a regular user can | 22:35 |
| mani_ | but it say sys/socket.h not found | 22:36 |
| ikonia | mani_: we spoke about that | 22:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | System_128, /join #Freenode | 22:36 |
| mani_ | can u tell me package name | 22:36 |
| ikonia | mani_: you need the libc development package | 22:36 |
| mani_ | it not found | 22:36 |
| === System_128 is now known as acidburn | ||
| ikonia | libc6-dev | 22:36 |
| oholiab | SchmittyDoesIt: I think http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1377770&postcount=4 should cover it for you actually | 22:37 |
| ikonia | you didn't look | 22:37 |
| ikonia | mani_: you didn't look did you | 22:37 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | thankyou oholiab | 22:37 |
| === patrol is now known as Patrol_ | ||
| oholiab | but I think you just want to copy the contents across, then add /dev/whatever /usr ext3, defaults 1 2 to fstab | 22:37 |
| === Patrol_ is now known as Patrol | ||
| [TiZ] | Hi. GParted from the live CD reports from my NTFS data partition that there are at least 1024 bad sectors, and thus won't allow me to resize it. 1024 sounds like a huge number. Should I be worried about this? | 22:37 |
| oholiab | assuming ext3 | 22:38 |
| mani_ | yes i did | 22:38 |
| oholiab | SchmittyDoesIt: you'll want to check for yourself though | 22:38 |
| Vantrax | [TiZ], Yes | 22:38 |
| ikonia | mani_: it was the 3rd one in the list | 22:38 |
| === Patrol is now known as Patrol__ | ||
| [TiZ] | Vantrax: I should replace it asap, right? | 22:38 |
| deltah | whzameye i found out thaty it~s not a hardware problem. ubunto says that ntfs is marked as in use as it was not shutdon properly and it tells me to shutdown windows properly. only that i can~t enter windows anymore. ant the shutdown that was not doen properly was the shutdown of ubuntu | 22:38 |
| mani_ | can i copy whole file to the /usr/* then it works | 22:38 |
| ozzloy | hey, how do i set a static ip for DNS resolution? | 22:38 |
| deltah | whyameye i found out thaty it~s not a hardware problem. ubunto says that ntfs is marked as in use as it was not shutdon properly and it tells me to shutdown windows properly. only that i can~t enter windows anymore. ant the shutdown that was not doen properly was the shutdown of ubuntu | 22:38 |
| ikonia | mani_: no | 22:38 |
| ikonia | mani_: learn how to use includes in C code | 22:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, Please dont repeat like that | 22:39 |
| ikonia | ozzloy: you need access to the dns servers | 22:39 |
| Vantrax | [TiZ], generally yes, they have an tendancy to increase once they start, but you can also try to isolate the bad sectors using tools in windows | 22:39 |
| Patrol__ | I have a question about k9copy - I'm trying to rip a DVD into an XviD, but the resulting file is 0 bytes in size, anyone knows what may be wrong? | 22:39 |
| deltah | Jack_Sparrow sorry. it was just because of a mistyping | 22:39 |
| n8tuser | Patrol__ -> is that a windows apps? is it allowed to write to a dir? | 22:40 |
| whyameye | deltah: you get that message from the last time it wasn't shutdown properly which actually was when you tried to boot windows. In any case, that doesn't tell you what the problem is. I could tell you how to force mount in ubuntu (I think the message already tells you) but then what? | 22:40 |
| [TiZ] | Vantrax: Well, I just deleted Windows. I'm trying to get rid of the NTFS partition, moving stuff to my ext3 home. I've chkdsk'd twice using my Vista install CD. It doesn't really say anything useful, and GParted continues to deny me the right to resize. | 22:40 |
| deltah | whyameye> yes it tells me, but thats the question. would this action be of use for me? would it make the ntfs be used by ubuntu again, and then i can shut it down properly ? or will it make things worse? | 22:41 |
| Vantrax | [TiZ], id get another drive and copy the data off, gparted should allow a format, but resizing with bad sectors is a very bad idea | 22:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vantrax, Agreed | 22:42 |
| deltah | whyami i think it refers to the last time i shutdown ubuntu for it didn~t finish properly | 22:42 |
| IcyPolecat | hiya, has the issue with ATI drivers and Intrepid been sorted yet? | 22:42 |
| [TiZ] | Well, then, I need to find a place to get a laptop hard drive, and something to use to copy stuff to it. :| | 22:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, Is that a wubi install that failed to shutdown | 22:42 |
| doglino | I do it apt-get build-dep pidgin | 22:43 |
| Vantrax | [TiZ], the drives are standard so it should be easy to get another | 22:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doglino, No it is in our repos | 22:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info pidgin | 22:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | doglino, sudo apt-get install pidgin | 22:43 |
| deltah | Jack-Sparrow yes. it has had that problem a few times, but not very often. I had to pull the plug | 22:43 |
| [TiZ] | I just need to find somewhere to get them. And hope that my tuition refund arrives soon. :| | 22:43 |
| [TiZ] | Thank you. | 22:43 |
| arvernes | A question about ssh : server is "John", my own computer is "doe", How do I do to tell "john", to accept ssh connection, only from people using keys, not just password. Is there something to change in /etc/ssh/sshd.config file. ? | 22:43 |
| whyameye | deltah: mounting the disk in ubuntu won't help you boot Windows, which is your goal. | 22:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, Pulling the plug on a wubi install is the kiss of death and the main reason not to use it | 22:44 |
| deltah | whyameye but if ubuntu shutsit down poperly, what it had not done before, maybe then even windows can use it again. Anyway windows is not important, my files are | 22:44 |
| IcyPolecat | arvernes: comment out the accept_password line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and sig up (restart) ssh | 22:44 |
| EdSquareCat | upgrading to 8.10 won't mess with my menu.lst will it? (it won't mess with my dual boot system?) | 22:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, dont count on it, recover what you can | 22:45 |
| richy_ | deltah:wat exactly is the problem... i jus tuned in | 22:45 |
| whyameye | deltah: if your goal is to read your files in ubuntu then copy them somewhere else, it makes sense to mount in ubuntu. I'm just saying it won't help you boot Windows. | 22:45 |
| deltah | Jack_Sparrow with a real ubuntu install to disk, pulling the plug wont cause that kinda problems anymore? | 22:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, no, entirely differwent, still not a good idea, but much less likely that you would need to do that in the first place | 22:46 |
| lime4x4 | how do i get an app to appear on the screen that i opened it on show up on that screen instead of screen0 when running multi xscreens? | 22:46 |
| deltah | richy i shutdown ubuntu which was wubi/installed didnt shutdown correctly, pulled the plug, now neither win nor ubuntu boot nor can live cd access the hdd | 22:46 |
| majnoon | !ot | 22:46 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 22:46 |
| arvernes | IcyPolecat: that will mean that all people trying to access the server will be rejected, if the server doesn't have their public key ? Is that correct. I ask you that because of security reason. As I know we have many people on that system with very easy to crack password, I don't want someone else to access to it. | 22:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deltah, I would try booting windows dick to recovery mode and fixmbr.. just to see, but only after you have recovered what you can | 22:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | disk | 22:46 |
| gogereaver | Jack_Sparrow: supergrub | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I wonder what Freud would say about that one | 22:47 |
| MTecknology | What's the ubuntu log bot? | 22:47 |
| whyameye | deltah: yes Jack_Sparrow has a good plan for you. You need a place to copy your stuff. | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gogereaver, not really, he didnt have grub beofre, it was a wubi install | 22:48 |
| sasimon19 | wireless troubleshooting | 22:48 |
| ikonia | MTecknology: ubuntulog | 22:48 |
| IcyPolecat | arvernes: correct. That's what I use to secure my SSH. that and change the default port from 22 (also in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config) to something else - won't defeat port scanners but should stop idle script kiddies. Oh and disable root login in the same file | 22:48 |
| MTecknology | ikonia: is it supybot? | 22:48 |
| deltah | whyameye just what i currently don~t have humm | 22:48 |
| ikonia | MTecknology: don't think so | 22:48 |
| CopyWriter | EVERYONE! i thank you all for you help and support in setting up my ubuntu server, it's working beautifully | 22:48 |
| sasimon19 | can someone help me with troubleshooting my wireless? | 22:48 |
| whyameye | deltah: you have Internet access on the ubuntu box? Maybe you could back up to somewhere on the 'net? Or just buy an external drive... | 22:48 |

Now, on my other dell computer (this one), i needed to go to Hardware Drivers and download the proprietary driver, and it works, but on the dv 1000 it doesn't list any interfaces. | 22:50 |

| mark12 | need some help | 22:55 |
| exodus_ms | zetheroo: what apps have you used to try to play the media? | 22:56 |
| eseven73 | joejc: would you go into a BMW dealer asking about Fords? then why are you in here asking about Windows 7? | 22:56 |
| richy_ | deltah:ok the way i no how to fix is install wubi again on the same hardrive as before... and in a folder on the same drive ull find a folder called found.000 and inside will be ya disks | 22:56 |
| wagner | oiii | 22:56 |
| KenBW2 | hatter243: ok thanks :) | 22:56 |
| zetheroo | exodus_ms: VLC, Totem, Mplayer, Xine | 22:56 |
| jessid | Is there anything like sysconfig/console in ubuntu? I mean, the bootscripts that sets up the keyboard map, console font and console kernel log level ???????????????????? | 22:56 |

| exodus_ms | zetheroo: and you have tried several differnet disc, correct | 22:57 |
| ikonia | joejc: it doesn't matter | 22:57 |
| deltah | richy_ so i force mount via live cd? and reinstall wubi on same drive in same directory_ | 22:57 |
| echinos | KenBW2: joejc not much, I would assume ;) | 22:57 |
| eseven73 | who cares what others think | 22:57 |
| ikonia | joejc: this is a support channel only - | 22:57 |
| maxbaldwin | I do have a propetiary (I think) driver, and it's not activated | 22:57 |
| zetheroo | exodus_ms: yes | 22:57 |

| EdSquareCat | upgrading to 8.10 won't mess with my menu.lst will it? (it won't mess with my dual boot system?) | 22:57 |
| exodus_ms | zetheroo: one more question, your not using any virtualization software are you | 22:57 |
| hatter243 | KenBW2, You'll most likely have to be able to physically access the machine. SSH won't do the trick if it's a brick | 22:57 |
| deltah | richy_ wouldnt that delete the information saved in my /home on ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| zetheroo | exodus_ms: no | 22:58 |
| echinos | EdSquareCat: It would probably add stuff, but not remove stuff | 22:58 |
| KenBW2 | hatter243: Ctrl+alt+F1 works | 22:58 |
| richy_ | deltah: u can if u lik jus i install a new wubi ... and find the root.disk in that found.000 folder and replace the newly root.disk | 22:58 |
| KenBW2 | hatter243: and she lives in Finland - that's a long journey from England :D | 22:58 |
| BigMike | whats the program that will back up the ubuntu operating system and restore it to hd just like it was before????????? | 22:58 |
| hatter243 | KenBW2, do you know if she ever install the ssh package? Ubuntu by default does not support incoming SSH connections | 22:58 |
| EdSquareCat | okay, so my dual boot won't be messed up. | 22:58 |
| EdSquareCat | thanks | 22:58 |
| exodus_ms | zetheroo: is compiz enabled | 22:59 |
| KenBW2 | hatter243: i got her to istal openssh-server | 22:59 |
| deltah | richy_ ah, so the old one will be in found.000? u sure about that? | 22:59 |
| hatter243 | coool | 22:59 |
| n3hima | hey guys | 22:59 |
| n3hima | is there any way to schedule ubuntu hardy to wake from sleep at a particular time? | 22:59 |
| echinos | EdSquareCat: not a bad idea to make a backup anyway | 22:59 |
| zetheroo | exodus_ms: yes and no ... tried it on and off | 22:59 |
| hatter243 | KenBW2, so find the model of her router, and figure out how to forward port 22 on it over the TCP protocol | 22:59 |
| richy_ | deltah:if it crashed into grub4dos then the root.disk will be in a found.000 on ya harddrive | 22:59 |
| balzac | I want to install mysql 4.0 on intrepid. It's not in the repositories for intrepid, I guess. Do I have to install a copy from outside the repositories? | 22:59 |

| zetheroo | exodus_ms: no worries | 23:01 |

| ikonia | oholiab: bit offtopic really | 23:04 |
| oholiab | It needs a new power supply but I don't have the old one and no idea how to measure it | 23:04 |
| NGL-TwYsTeD | oholiab what kin of monitor | 23:04 |
| fusionllII | whats the best place to look to dual boot ubuntu and vista? | 23:04 |
| oholiab | NGL-TwYsTeD: it's just a generic lcd, I've googled it but nothing useful. It's a jack connection. | 23:05 |
| rdw200169 | oholiab: every monitor i've had takes 120V/240V | 23:05 |
| WinterWeaver | what app can I use to measure my macbook temperature while running ubuntu. lately it seems to be running hot and need to be sure. | 23:05 |
| oholiab | yeah, it's not the power itself, it's the jack size | 23:05 |
| rdw200169 | oholiab: all the ones i've dealt with also use the default plug, generally found on the back of computer power supplies | 23:05 |
| baytes | WinterWeaver: Filtered means that a firewall, filter, or other network obstacle is blocking the port so that Nmap cannot tell whether it is open or closed | 23:06 |
| rdw200169 | oholiab: the slotted one, that is a square with two corners chopped off | 23:06 |
| baytes | WinterWeaver: wow sorry -hddtemp | 23:06 |
| NGL-TwYsTeD | how to i apt-get ubunto 8.10 | 23:06 |

| eseven73 | one line tomthetimberman | 23:11 |
| tomthetimberman | can the GRUB bootloader installed by Ubuntu do any harm to VIsta? | 23:11 |

| zetheroo | when I had been trying to install linux on it again and again and trying to get DVD playback ... I had not once played a DVD on this machine ... not even in Windows ... then once I was through trying to get Linux to play dvd's I restored Windows back on and played a DVD in Windows for the first time on this laptop .. then today was the first time I rebooted since then into Linux and tried it again ... and it worked .... so maybe playing a D | 23:27 |
| ntiy | hi everyone. when i execute w command to check who is logged in i see sometimes for some users in the very and of the line something like that: sshd: username [priv]. Could you please say what does it mean? in particular what [priv] means? | 23:27 |
| zetheroo | exodus_ms: ^^ | 23:27 |
| nightrid3r | can i get my screen higher than 800x600 on a vesa card (my laptop card is not supported otherwise) | 23:27 |

| oholiab | yme: have you tried mounting the samba share locally? | 23:28 |
| baytes | WinterWeaver: did you install lm-sensors? | 23:28 |
| ntiy | any1? | 23:29 |
| yme | oholiab, no, I thought about this though. I hope to remember how to do. I know I have to edit /etc/fstab | 23:29 |

| bobbyd | If I have an Ubuntu server, and a 10 Gigabit network, can I put 5 gigabit NICs in the server and somehow connect them together so the machine uses all of them? I think this is called channel bonding under Windows? | 23:32 |
| eseven73 | ntiy: hmm time for google then :) | 23:32 |
| amoKK | all the players i have tried insert gaps | 23:32 |
| oholiab | yme: from what I can see, you either want to use mount -t smbfs or mount -t cifs | 23:32 |
| ntiy | thats what Ive done already. nothing useful. but thnx anyway | 23:32 |
| yme | oholiab, I have mounted various harddrives and an external HD | 23:33 |

| amoKK | im using gnome and i ve tried rythmbox, exaile, totem, vlc... all of them insert gaps between tracks in audio cds with adjacent songs | 23:34 |
| PeterFA | My friend's sound suddenly goes away and she has to log out and back in to get it back. | 23:35 |
| PeterFA | Where do I start troubleshooting this? | 23:35 |
| amoKK | richy have you tried amarok¿ | 23:35 |
| amoKK | with adjacent tracks | 23:35 |
| bobbyd | PeterFA: All sound? sometimes it's something to do with running Firefox | 23:35 |

| CyberGabber | bobbyd: Maybe you must read : http://www.howtoforge.com/nic_bonding | 23:36 |
| bobbyd | CyberGabber: thanks, I'm reading this 6.10 Ubuntu article, I'll try it out later :) | 23:37 |

| NS|Glock_Coma | i had to drop out of college because my laptop came with ubuntu on it :( | 23:38 |
| bobbyd | PeterFA: well, there's something strange about the way Firefox / Flash does audio, sometimes running Firefox stops all other audio. There is a fix (I think it's it force Firfox to use alsa) but I don't remember | 23:38 |
| PeterFA | bobbyd, logging in/out effectively does that. | 23:38 |

| === Eric__ is now known as EricGod48 | ||
| bobbyd | PeterFA: pulseaudio is supposed to solve all these issues, but as far as I know there are still weird problems sometimes with Firefox / flash | 23:39 |

| nightrid3r | can i get my screen higher than 800x600 on a vesa card (my laptop card is not supported otherwise)? | 23:40 |
| bobbyd | amoKK: audactious? with a gapless plugin? | 23:40 |
| portz | So I just updated to the latest nVidia driver 180.22 and now I can't even get to the login screen. Terminal is accessible, though. Anybody care to help? | 23:40 |
| bobbyd | nightrid3r: what card is it? | 23:40 |
| PeterFA | bobbyd, hmmm | 23:40 |
| simplexio | nightrid3r: probably not ... but its probably supported | 23:40 |
| bobbyd | portz: run the recovery mode and reconfigure X | 23:40 |
| maxbaldwin | Mark_Jones: that sounds do-able. you'd have to figure out how to use apt-get from a CD, or use synaptic. | 23:41 |
| yme | oholiab, I'm trying | 23:41 |
| amoKK | thanks bobbyd i will try it | 23:41 |
| bobbyd | Mark_Jones: yes, you can just add the CD under sources I think | 23:41 |
| CyberGabber | Mark_Jones: Take a look at : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto | 23:41 |
| portz | bobbyd: Not very descriptive. Run recovery how? Reconfigure X how, and to what? | 23:41 |
| bobbyd | Mark_Jones: check out what format a normal install CD has it's packages in and check you burn them in the same way | 23:42 |
| bobbyd | portz: sorry, from the GRUB boot screen there should be a "recovery" option underneath your normal boot option | 23:42 |
| bobbyd | select that then it should show you a terminal with a few options, select "try to reconfigure X" | 23:42 |
| nananana | ok i got a problem with my windows wanting to disapear when i minimize them.. where as they should normally be on one of my taskbars . they just are no were to be found and only way ive found to get back to them is by using alt+tab. does anyone know how to get things back to where i can minimize and maximize windows from my taskbars???? | 23:42 |
| portz | Forgot to mention: I can't enter GRUB menu. I see the option, but my keyboard doesn't respond. | 23:43 |
| bobbyd | alternatively, drop into a root shell and undo your change | 23:43 |
| bobbyd | oh | 23:43 |
| bobbyd | that's a problem then :) | 23:43 |
| portz | Yeah. | 23:43 |
| bobbyd | are you using a USB keyboard on an old machine or something? | 23:43 |
| portz | Tell me how to do it from the root shell? | 23:43 |
| bobbyd | did it work before your update? | 23:43 |
| PeterFA | bobbyd, it is said that the sound craps out when she goes away for a while. | 23:43 |
| portz | No. New build. I've tried USB and Bluetooth | 23:43 |
| === sebastian_ is now known as Arawaj | ||
| bobbyd | portz: you still need to access grub | 23:43 |

| PeterFA | bobbyd, she closes the lid to her lappy and goes away, to come back and sound won't play. | 23:44 |
| === EricGod48 is now known as EricG | ||

| nightrid3r | bobbyd: SIS 771/671 card | 23:44 |
| PeterFA | bobbyd, ? | 23:44 |
| bobbyd | PeterFA: that sounds like a suspend/resume issue, does it suspend when she closes the lid? | 23:45 |
| Jj | hello | 23:45 |
| Jj | I have a dual screen (separate X) setup | 23:45 |
| bobbyd | WinterWeaver: are you using a GUI at all? | 23:45 |
| Jj | I'm using fluxboix as WM | 23:45 |
| Jj | but my fonts are being rendered differently on each screen | 23:45 |
| Mark_Jones | ok ill try and figure it out. wish I could get ftp access to the files and then download with filezilla and then use APTonCD to make the CD.Just need ftp access. | 23:45 |

| Jj | http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=captura20090114152820nv5.png | 23:45 |
| PeterFA | bobbyd, no, it just turns the screen off. | 23:45 |
| bobbyd | hmm, that's weird then | 23:46 |
| bobbyd | It would have made more sense if it was a suspend issue | 23:46 |
| Jj | why is that happenning? both monitors are different size (21" and 19" at 1650 and 1440) | 23:46 |
| gargamelca | LOL the first lady of France | 23:46 |
| gargamelca | http://s3.bg.battle-knight.com/index.php?loc=hire&ref=NDAyNDU= | 23:46 |
| oholiab | Jj: have you fiddled around with your xorg.conf? | 23:46 |
| WinterWeaver | bobbyd, yup, I've tried 3 different applets. the only one that runs is "sensors-applet" but it's constantly popping up error notifications | 23:46 |
| bobbyd | the only thing I can suggest is looking in the syslog between the time she closes the lid and the time you realise it's screwed | 23:46 |
| gargamelca | she could use some cloths ... | 23:46 |
| Jj | oholiab: no, not yet | 23:46 |
| Jj | well, at some moment I did to set up the dual screen | 23:46 |
| Jj | not recently, this has always happened though | 23:47 |
| bobbyd | Mark_Jones: can't you use "wget -m ..." or -r ? | 23:47 |
| oholiab | Jj: you might want to have a look and compare the two different screen setups | 23:47 |
| oholiab | Jj: there's probably something in there | 23:47 |
| Mark_Jones | I have no idea | 23:47 |
| bobbyd | WinterWeaver: it's something with a weird name | 23:47 |
| nickrud_ | gargamelca, please don't post random link here; #ubuntu-offtopic may be interested | 23:47 |
| bobbyd | WinterWeaver: back in a moment | 23:47 |
| Jj | well, both monitores do have different attributes | 23:48 |
| bobbyd | Mark_Jones: you can use wget to recursively retrieve stuff from websites (if they let you) | 23:48 |
